Game Mode – Carnival Shootout
If it wasn’t obvious enough already, this game mode was more of a fun, interactive playlist, and overall it was very boring after the first game, but I realised very quickly how I could at least get some use out of it. (This being a bad mode really benefits this grind as player activity was very low.)
A simple 5v5 mode with rotating buffs and gifts, and most importantly; the jet boost, which allows you to jump over to the enemy platform which enables your melee and a small cage for the poor enemy team.
Optimal Setup
-
Bot Lobbies: Controller or emulator (PC) for easy lobbies ≠no real players interrupting.
-
Profit
That’s pretty much it, if you can speed up this process in any other way then do so by any means necessary, I realised how little to no real players were joining up, then I thought playing late at night with a controller connected would make most if not all games completely empty of human activity, and I was correct.
There was often times you’d have a real person on the other team but 99% of the time they either had a mutual agreement to hop over and murder your bots, or they’d have no idea on what to do or how to kill you.
I have shared this method with a few other people that were playing in touch lobbies, and even though they weren’t 100% sure how to execute the method, still managed over 80-100 kills in their first few games.
Grind Steps
-
Start: After 15 seconds, you will be teleported to the enemy side for a short duration, this is where you can get 10-15 melee kills in.
-
When the time reaches 7:48 remaining, you will receive jet boost.
-
You can jump directly to the opponents platform by using the full jet boost from either the raised platform, or anywhere along the front of the platform if timed correctly.
-
Match End: ~220 kills was my average, some games slightly lower and some slightly higher, with my best being 258.
My Stats
• In-Game: 5h 33m (match history).
• Real: 6.5-7h (queues/swaps).
• Kills/Match: 7546 / ~220 average
• Matches: 35
• Deaths: 58
Key Tips
• Bot Lobbies Essential: Players = deaths + respawns = less time to kill.
• AVOID GIFT BOXES: Picking one forces operator weapon (no melee kills during duration). Let enemies grab if they want but back off from their skills.
• No Falls Nail Jet Boost jump, it’s only a small loss but still a loss.
Melee sucks, but camos grinding is fun. Questions? Ask away.
