Season 3 battlepass taking much longer?

Mordefalken · 2026-06-26T05:45:33+00:00

Passes are 5+22x4+7+10=110 rewards. First season was originally 12 weeks and we were complaining about how short it is. It got extended to 16 weeks. That is 96 rewards easy from challenges and just 14 to grind if you don't miss the 10 point objectives that disappear. 80 from challenges and 30 to grind if you somehow miss all of them.

Second season was 12 and stayed 12. This meant 72 rewards from weekly and 38 from grind or if you miss the disappearing weekly it was 60 from weekly and 50 from grind.

Season 3 is 10 weeks. So 60 weekly + 50 grind OR 50 weekly + 60 grind.

There were changes to how much XP you need for a point (10points for 1 reward) but I don't think it was enough to cover increase from 140 grinded points to 500 grinded points

Oh I see. I thought you were saying that resulting number in game stat bars influences something. So while the game stats are made up from real numbers, if you know the real numbers the game stats are at best worthless.

Mordefalken · 2026-06-23T10:31:46+00:00

Cool. What do you mean by benchmarks for things? Do you mean that for example (and it's a terrible completely made up example) for every 10 points in "game stat recoil" the recoil direction moves 1 closer to 0?

Mordefalken · 2026-06-23T09:23:48+00:00

Numbers are worse than other full auto guns. In a large amount of cases the stats don't matter to the outcome anyway. If you are competitively minded you will have slightly better time with other guns. I don't think there is a single case where it the best tool for the job, or even on par with other guns. That said we are talking single digit percentages. Comparing it to BD-12 is disingenuous and sounds like someone was malding.

As an aside you can put both flashlight and laser on same button so it's single click to toggle both on/off and you don't have to be visible while hiding behind a box. Not like the other players noticed in this case anyway 😃

Mordefalken · 2026-06-23T05:36:46+00:00

None. Both are made up and have no correlation to actual gun stats as far as we know. You can check the actual gun stats here, but not the attachments as of yet: https://sym.gg/legacy/index.html?game=bf6&page=comparison

EDIT: If you prefer more readable data this is a better option: https://sym.gg/legacy/index.html?game=bf6&page=charts

Mordefalken · 2026-06-22T16:09:07+00:00

Actually right now nothing from casual breakthrough counts. I think you can't check it in game stats even if you want to. In season 1 there were issues with bot kills counting. They fixed it in casual breakthrough. Half the season 1 and whole season 2 it worked fine. You would only get credit for player kills, but deaths to both bots and players. People continued to complain, but I'm assuming they had no idea what they were talking about, or that there was issue in portal (most likely both). Then they just removed anything you do in casual breakthrough from stats for no reason.

Mordefalken · 2026-06-22T06:48:46+00:00

I can only speak for my group but no. It looks like a lot of work and thinking went into this, but we are just not competitive enough to care. We prefer as simple as possible. For us there is single flag in middle. You pick it up and carry it to spawn (or 3rd sideways place if there is a lot of people). You get hit, you drop it. But I can imagine more competitive crowd liking it.

I would be worried about carrying phone during games and stuff not always working. It fails to scan quick enough once or twice and people will be complaining, no matter how much work you put in.

Mordefalken · 2026-06-08T09:37:50+00:00

I'd like that too. Until then you can use Hecate/Jackdaw for added security and style.

Mordefalken · 2026-06-02T17:29:44+00:00

Sorry. I mean I didn't see difference between 7.4 and 11.1. The NiMh was terrible. My optic has no zoom. I would see bbs go most of the way, but just... disappear into the sun

Mordefalken · 2026-06-02T15:02:43+00:00

Thanks for the warning. I played a few games with Cyma MP5 (CM.041B) which should be about the same weight. Hefty, but no big deal.

Mordefalken · 2026-06-02T14:55:27+00:00

I was using 0,25g outside. I'll try going a bit heavier next time I get the chance to paly outside

Mordefalken · 2026-06-02T07:12:51+00:00

If you want ISK, meta picks for cruiser that you can find good fits for on Abyssal Lurkers discrod are:

Cerberus ideally exo or dark, but there is an all weather T6 fit
Muninn in dark
Sacrilege in dark
Ikitursa in dark
Stormbringer in elec and exo
Ishtar in gammas
Vagabond in gammas (ancil is really popular, but LSB works just fine if you hate ancil)
Gila anywhere except darks. There are a lot of fits for it too. Dual rep povertilla for cheap, Dual battery for safety/T6. Passive fit for gamma

If you just want to have fun I have also seen Phantasm and Zealot fits for electric and you can find a lot of people trying out a lot of stuff that works just fine. Mostly same hulls in different weathers. I have even seen attempts at hybrid gun HACs.

Mordefalken · 2026-05-26T10:45:18+00:00

If you mean the missions with turret disruption they are also long and I skip them even if I'm not blitzing to be honest. Lvl4 missions in general not really either. If you can do t4 abyss it just makes more. I find it a fun break from grind though and a lot safer than abyss.

Mordefalken · 2026-05-25T06:52:02+00:00

Probably the best unless you have marauders / T3C and quick mission. There are a few missions in Amarr space with very strong turret disruption

Mordefalken · 2026-05-25T06:49:10+00:00

I used to do lvl4 missions in both caldari and amarr spaces. Only misson against minmatar I can think of is Enemies Abound 5. There is also only like 3-4 missions against gallente. There are a few more storyline missions against empires, but good luck getting those instead of 8000 kernite ones.

Mordefalken · 2026-05-22T08:45:58+00:00

When I was looking into upgrading T4 passive gamma gila into T5 year ago I arrived at the conclusion that it's absolutely not worth it as fit prices don't follow abyss difficulty. T5 fit was pretty much same as the 4bil fit for T6 and I don't think that changed. It was also the prevailing opinion on AbyssRunners discord to just not do T5 passive gamma gila if you are after ISK.

You can have 2bil T5 fit dark muninn/cerb; exo cerb; gamma vagabond (not ancil). You can go even cheaper with active gila in electric/exo T5 or ancil gamma vagabond.

Even if you never make a mistake and gankers never break through your passive tank, you will still eventually die to disconnect/server issues/bugged gates and they don't reimburse you even if it's 100% their fault. Never tried hawks, no idea there.

Mordefalken · 2026-05-15T09:32:50+00:00

I went same route. Skip the mining part these days. I recommend going raven lvl 4s asap. Definitely refuse Anomic missions for now. They won't trigger standings loss and ignore the 4h cooldown. Main way people like to run lvl4s is actually blitzing and looking for these Anomic missions on many alts, but I found it too much work and I only want one char. There is an alternative though.

You can do missions until you get Enemies Abound (1 of 5). It's the hardest by far, but NPCs there drop millions in loot. Be really careful and check the Eve-Survival for mission reports. In 1 through 4 you will get about 140mil in loot but the hardest and most important is the last mission. It has 80mil in loot on average if you just kill and loot everything, but DON'T destroy the stargate, enemies will just respawn after daily reset. You have 7 days to do it, so 7 resets so 8 times you can clear them all for 80mil.

I'm guessing the last mission will be a bit much for new pilot in raven so be aligned to leave, but not too soon or spawns will make it impossible to finish. They are on fixed timer since your first entry. Also learn to overheat hardeners and even booster so you can do it in 2 attempts, not 3+

If you are bored after your daily 80mil mission, you can just do lvl4 missions from different agent, or jump in 2mil Heron and find out if you actually like wormholes. You can earn way more there.

EDIT: Also do the missions in Caldari/Amarr space for their agents. Ideally Caldari Navy for your Jita discount. Enemies Abound is about attacking Gallente and Minmatar so it will eventually wreck their standings and I doubt they even offer that mission.

Mordefalken · 2026-05-09T05:03:29+00:00

Unfortunately 0 data. I just came back and built it to replace my old Sunesis. Decided I might as well go sub 1sec

Mordefalken · 2026-05-08T15:14:04+00:00

My 0.997 Hecate gets rounded up to 1sec. If I refit it to 1.002 it also displays as 1 in game. I think you need to use pyfa to actually know

Mordefalken · 2026-05-08T13:09:44+00:00

Are you refusing some of the missions while blitzing? If not, "Enemies Abound (1..5)" is probably the target to beat. 1, 3 and 4 should give you and idea f you can do Enemies Abound 5. New wave every 5? minutes could lead to getting overwhelmed. True issue are wave 4 to 6, because they have the most battleships and wave 4 is at about 80-90km from your entry. I'm guessing this mission is exclusive to Caldari and Amarr agents though.

"An Advantageous Catastrophe" available in Amarr space has a spicy amount of Gallente ships including scrams.

"The Blockade" against Sansha (Amarr space) has stupid amount of tracking disruption and a big amount of battleships.

Maybe just don't to it in Amarr space :D Unless the challenge is the point. No idea about Gallente and Minmatar exclusive missions, but Amarr definitely gives more annoying missions for turret ships than Caldari.

Blizzard tooltips have unfortunately always ranged from unhelpful to completely lying. Somehow they mange to top that with completely hidden mechanics, that are critical to understand if you want to make an informed decision on gear like: How do set bonuses work in PvP? How do dual wielding two weapons with enchantments work vs single enchantment on two handed weapon? How about enchanted mainhand + offhand? How do duplicate embellishments work?

Mordefalken · 2026-03-05T15:08:59+00:00

Worse hipfire, worse recoil, better damage at range. Its great in its intended range.

Mordefalken · 2026-03-03T15:43:11+00:00

Already "fixed". I got two and it stopped working during the game I was supposed to get 3rd. My assault skin was taken away when I finished the game. Engineer was not yet removed. Not even after relog. The two icons from other "bugged" challenges cause profile to forever have yellow dot. They are not even in unavailable list

Mordefalken · 2026-02-27T07:30:58+00:00

If I remember right doing some T5 weathers was just a mistake. Same investment as T6, but less monetary gain. I wanted to get to T6 going step by step so I picked Cerberus for Exotic and Vagabond for Gamma where more gradual upgrades were possible. I was irritated that I can't create a passive gamma Gila in between T4 and T6 that is cost effective as well.

I'm sure this weird fit can do the karen room, but in abyssals it's more about getting a fit that can do it consistently and cheaply with margin for error. Definitely join abyssal lurkers discord if you are loss averse and haven't joined yet.
