@Boef Probably next week

Bro this week are only annoying missions, why forcing us to play DM mode without drone and OD, 5K BP is gonna take longer.

Moreover, where is discount week end ;(

Only 5k battle points is pretty nice IMO, that will take about the same amount of time as 10k in regular modes, and a lot less than 20k battle points in any mode. The 300 kills between all hulls will take the most time, missions will therefore take a little longer than last week but not too bad at all.

And... Tesla finally out! Awesome :)

EDIT: Thanks to @TheCongoSpider for the correction. 5k battle points in DM is 500 kills, which will take the longest.

5,000 points in DM is 500 kills. That's quite a lot.

Actually you are right - my bad. That should take longer than the 300 kills then.

+ and with everyone using medium range turrets for missions its going to be a long and boring but ill do it for ultra conts 

[DestrotankAI9 1,513]

Looking at the announcement, a really interesting point is that they are putting in new GARAGE augments! Awesome - I am super glad they are now going back to adding some Garage augments as well, this will make the game better for everyone - giving something for all players to work towards. New augments in both the Garage, and Ultra Containers from now on would be cool.

There are 3 new Garage augments for Tesla (and possibly 4 either now or eventually with Tesla Adrenaline?) All 3 are for Tesla, check the announcement on the home page for more info:

Idk 5000 BP is 500 kills, without any drone or OD everyone will be equal AND will try to steal kills from each others, it will obviously take longer time for experienced players to complete it but the same amount of times or maybe less for rookies

I wonder if they will be - who knows. We will have to check container rewards tomorrow. Also, annoyingly Magnum's Harpoon augment is still not in regular container rewards, still hoping for a fix on that.

It's nice that it will be more equal for everyone with those settings. Experienced players will still have the Mk8 turret/hull & module advantage, as well as better augments, but yes fully upgraded drones are the main things lower GS players tend to lack.

They will probably not do sales next week too because, now, each time they release a sale, there is a 5k tankoins bundle that comes with it, and now we are on day 17/30 for the latest one, so they would more likely put a sale in 2 weeks so players would not take advantage of it for tesla and they can make the bundle for players to buy it again.

Yea but they should not force to play on it, so experienced players could go in normal MM and inexperienced players would play in the festive mode, everyone would be happy that way, i actually hate dm mode because people just wait and try to steal kills.

[xntrc 5]

I have never personally really liked any of the special modes apart from a couple (such as the Smoky Wasp Short Bridge CTF, that one was actually enjoyable). Always dreaded the "Earn 20k crystals in the festive DM mode" missions, but I still do those for the ultras. Now I feel like this 5k battle score is gonna take even more time in the DM mode than before. I guess that was a tactical decision to change the mission to be battle score instead of crystals, now everyone has to play for longer and can't just get relief from premium. At least we won't have to suffer with the Hornet Booster/Viking Booster or Defender/Booster or Defender spam in general since drones and ODs are disabled but still, I somehow have a feeling already that if you aren't 9999 GS and especially if you don't have any cheesy augments to play with you just won't have a good time. Could be just me, or not, but I suppose the only way to find out is to see it tomorrow.

steal kills

500 kills = stuck in DM for whole weekend, expect

smoky autocanon
smoky fire augment
smoky EMP
uranium striker
thunder hammer augment

then after buyer done 125kill for above gun, expecting tons of MK-20 tesla (super effective on DM for 360 degree of shooting) to storm the game

I play on mobile, crusade, ares, hopper, since no OD anyway

The DM mode will have drones and ODs disabled so no Hornet ODs. Still gonna be a status augment spam fest most likely.
