Thanks
Worst April Fools event for late joiners … People are already sniping with upgraded vehicles.
thats not even the problem. the problem are the extraction point campers
The Echindna’s gun can shoot very far, very accurately, IF you don’t rapid fire it. Almost certainly what happened to you. Its Realistic, you gotta try burst firing, not just holding down fire the entire time. If you just mag dump, the accuracy goes to heck.

Deleted the messages and pics, and posted them in the tech support forum:
If anyone else is having the same issue, please post any additional info you have on the post I made in the Tech Support forum.
Whoever had the idea to make the voice line “Maybe the D point was in our hearts all along” is a genius <3
I laughed so hard when i heard it.
“The D point! We’re so close!!!”
I showed the people who had this idea, they appreciate you noticed!
So tried this fumble of an event.
So far the title is accurate because it is very much rage inducing and bug riddled.
3rd spawn always bugs my camera and view keybinds out so my gun/freelook are all fixed in a forwards position. And I CANNOT EXTRACT!
Extract campers having insane advantage
Extracts literally next to enemy spawn and their priority loot areas. Sometimes even my second extract is in the SAME spot down south by the enemy spawn/big loot area.
Slow-firing 40mm gun deals horrible damage, had to shoot the same driver 3 times to make it go dead.
…etc
Unplayable without a squad that handholds each other through the bugs and extract campers.
Ergo its a ton of wasted manpower and work hours for a horrible solo experience, meh rewards.
Instead, fix the reskinned red light district, Polland map. Or better just take it out of the game.
Oh wow, thanks! :D
Update/changes for anyone who didn’t see:
Hopefully this helps:
Something feels to have changed with the damage models. In the solid and powerful Boar for instance, I have been one shot over 3 times now (and not with a recoilless rifle, or the Rhino, but by the first 3 vehicles with normal machine guns.) What’s the point of using the armored up vehicles if they get one shot every time? Ugggggggggg…
Edit: Yeah, something is wrong. When I first got the upgraded Boars days ago, it would take a few clips to finally kill me. Now I’m getting sniped+one shot almost every time. Even while on the move at full speed.
Edit 2: Ok so I looked at the internal ammo storage in game, and the Boars with the recoilless rifle have the extra ammo that can blow up, so that makes more sense, but still doesn’t explain why the Solid Boar goes up in a single shot. I still think something is wrong with the damage/ammo models.
Edit 3: Alright, wake me up when major changes are made. Imo, the part retention after death needs to be raised to at least 50%, it is going to be nearly impossible to get the rewards with most of the players camping, doing no useful “work” and feeding off the “hard work” of others.
PS: I think the devs need to take a look at the W/L ratio for the Echidna, something changed with its ammo and it is WAY overpowered right now. One shotting all types of other vehicles, especially the Boars. I’ll try again after a new round of changes are made, till then, this is still a horrid toxic waste of time. There was a camper last night bragging about how he already had ALL of the items/rewards/vehicles, but was still playing just to grief all the other players. That’s the reality of trying to do anything in this event right now.
3rd vehicle spawn still buggs out and renders the mouse useless by disabling the camera and rendering any view (driver’s view) useless. Basically, I can only spawn twice with the third being a useless unplayable mess. can only drive and shoot, nothing else
Wasn’t grindy and not greedy enough.
To bad this events were so much fun
This game turned into how to pleased marketing dep instead of making game to have loots of ppl playing and having fun. They could go Warframe way of monetization but noooo they had to fomo greed.
Here we go, got a replay showing camping is still rampant, and getting one shot by an Echidna while using the Solid Boar while both of us are on the move. Again, something is broken about the Echidna’s ammo, and/or people are aim botting. It shouldn’t be possible to get one shot like this in the Solid Boar (ARMORED) by a normal machine gun, especially while both players are moving. I have been getting one shot in the Boar 90% of the time in the last 24 hours.
Replay: Gaijin Entertainment - Single Sign On
Camping player is “deadeyz” you can see he goes immediately to our exfiltration zone to camp.
One shot, directly into my ammo, and he didn’t even aim (zoom/sniper view not used). Looks like possible aimbotting to me:
I have a very hard time believing that a player this new is just “that good” at aiming:
Session ID: 2a3a7e500184225
Whatever the case is with this player though, camping is still rampant and makes getting loads of parts to the exfiltration zones nearly impossible.
So it seems like this event takes the spot of a vehicle event, Gaijin not being strong on communication as usual, but if there were a vehicle event it should have been announced by now.
So gaijin decided to make a bunch of improvements after I had already sworn off of this event. I went back in today and gotta say that the Reptile having is spawn cost is still dumb.
Wish I could get “truck” as decal
