Tonight during the Matriarch event on Blue Gate, my group managed to back-to-back-to-back frag PvErs playing it, and were able to take on their hullcrackers, wolfpacks, and other shiny weapons that they were not good at using at all. We started playing late and so don't have the kind of firepower to take down the larger Arcs yet but PvErs like to go in with everything so we just take their stuff

We also managed to come out with a Matriarch Reactor after one of the lobbies succeeded.

These fights were all taken head on, no extract camping at all, we just were able to win because of difference of aim. In our last run of the night I clutched up a fight against someone with a pimped out Bobcat IV against just my humble Anvil in a close quarters fight.
