I don't think the changes in tomorrow's patch to Fire and Freeze are good - there is no need to give Freeze an x5 multiplier on crits, wowww! And I don't think they needed to have the range shortened, that is kinda weird. Don't see the point of these changes, strange but also imbalanced at the same time.... Would have been better to just take the changes from last week and give them a slight reduction.

It is nice though that Viking overdrive with various turrets and augments is being fixed, melee turrets were the last things that were substandard with Viking overdrive. All the same though, these changes will leave Firebird and Freeze in a weird place, and in many ways imbalanced. But if they nerf them, they will be left with an annoyingly short range.

Also magnum got nerfed. Guess it might've been slightly OP in the legend ranks. Hopefully it'll calm down the horde of angry legends.

OP is not the right word to describe Magnum. It is annoying and it doesn't fit this game at all. It shouldn't exist in the first place. All the maps of this game has never changed since the release of Magnum. And they are designed in the assumption that turrets shoot in a 2D plane. That's why all those walls and buildings and bridges are there to provide covers for players.

Yet, Magnum is designed to camp. It can ignore all those things I mentioned. I don't know what the Devs have smoked to think that is a good idea to bring a turret designed for camping into a PVP game. I have seen countless times Magnum campers just siting at his own spawn shooting across the map. It might not be an issue in modes like TDM or DM since everyone is scattered. Yet, in modes like CTF and Siege, which certainly most people will clustered in one spot, those campers are super annoying.

And remember, there is no way you can counter this at all. You can try raid the opponent spawn, but you will mostly die before even have a chance to actually see those damn campers. The maps are designed that spawns are hard to get overrun. This is to prevent spawn killing, which is a good thing IF MAGNUM DOESN'T EXIST.

I mostly see horizontal magnums in battle, and I don't find them or vertical magnums annoying. I find gauss and any turret with status effect augments much more annoying to deal with as well as augments like scout for rail gun, rapid fire for shaft, auto cannon for smoky, plasma torch for Rico. For me, magnum is much more bearable to deal with compared to those evils.

Gauss can literally spawn kill as well. I've killed so many that have just respawned using gauss. That's because gauss's lock on time is literally the same amount of time as the spawn protections duration.

Bruh. Google play updates too slowly.

Are you doing that with this account? i.e. @PirateSpider? Or is it some higher rank accounts? Because in low level matches, it is very easy to do what you said. I can literally play without dying even once in low ranks.

Why don't you check my garage on this account?

5000 points = 500 kills

500 kills / 10 kills per battle = 50 battles x 7 mins = 350 minutes

500 kills / 20 kills per battle = 25 battles x 7 mins = 175 minutes

If you are lucky to get 10 kills each battle... And if battle lasts for 7 minutes... You might join a battle with 3-4 minutes left to finish... But, I'm interested to finish Challenge, not this special mission. 1546 / 3000 Stars. 10 days left, 1500 from daily missions. Is enough.

Not going to bother for 500 kills in DM; the game mode I hate the most (because of kill steal). And 7 Ultras, full of druggs ? No !

[Devoid 2,601]

Finished the Special Missions

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

Decent rewards, I'll take it

[wild001 1,422]

done with freeze + wasp (25 max), smoky autocanon + crusade + ares, (25 max) isida + viking (32kills)

 

and some golds

Confirming my theory, i opened the second half of 300 old ultra containers=150UC from crusader XT bundle (didnt open it because i didnt want Tesla few days before its release) and got 0 exotics again, they just buff 7 free uc ods, and got 3 legendaries: healing emmiter shaft, AP railgun, AP hammer. Never got any exotics from UC i have bought so i will never buy them again.

The DM mission is really difficult.  I don't think I will be able to complete it. Other than that, the electro-turret augment seems interesting. 

It's not as difficult as it seems.

Agreed but for the players who didn't own these hulls/turrets upgraded, so I believe it's hard for them.

[tankiexpert1 105]

Bruh, why 5000 battle points.  Even the highest scorer in a single battle has around 250 points.  

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

What a shame this is not a discount weekend so that I can buy Tesla.

I would have considered doing it but other special missions put up a lot of constraints on my tank build. I just want to play with tesla in normal MM battles. Therefore, I am skipping these special missions.

That's a fair point.

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

@Spy

Please can we have a discount very soon so that I can buy Tesla at a reduced price.

Administrators are not responsible for discounts, the only ones who can make discounts are the developers. 

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

@Spy

Thanks. I hope developers make a discount very soon so that I can buy Tesla at a discounted price. I will only buy Tesla when a discount on turrets becomes available.

3 Legendaries - and awesome ones at that - from 7 free Ultras? Wow those are insane drops I have to say, 3 of the very best Legendaries you can get .

So you might be on to something - however you didn't get any Exotics from the free Ultras either. You mentioned the Legendaries from the free Ultras (truly amazing drops yes - never had 7 Ultras that good) - but how many Legendaries did you get from the 150 bought Ultras? I think that would be necessary to know, for a fair comparison.
