I struggled a bit with Highguard this week, as I finally reached the more difficult achievements, like disarming 20 bombs and scoring 77 kills with Legendary weapons. The difficulty mostly came in having an opportunity to even come up where I could work on these. To help with the Legendary kills, I always picked Scarlet as my Warden, as the knives she gains when using her Ultimate are counted as Legendary-class weapons. I often found myself using up all my knives before getting shot in the face by my target, so they’re not GREAT. I’m also just not as good at this game as most of the people that are hanging around still! And once in a while, I’d actually reach a later round where Legendary weapons spawn, which made it a little easier to get kills since I’m better at the pew pews. I soon found my favorite combo is a Dynasty assault rifle and a Viper SMG, forsaking the Paladin I’d liked last week because… well, it kinda suuuuucks. Even as a rapid-fire auto-shotgun, I just couldn’t kill people. The SMG helped more for working on my other achievement, getting those defuses. This is the highest-ratio achievement for a reason: not only does the enemy team have to be good enough to raid your base, but your team has to be good enough to keep them from swarming an objective too heavily to, finally, keep you from penetrating the defenses and disarming the bomb. It’s a lot of factors, and I started by having the Bomb Kit amulet when I could find/buy it and hiding near an objective when a raid started. The amulet helps so much that often I could stealth in (with Scarlet’s Tactical move) and quickly disarm a bomb even while everyone is fighting around me and before I’m stopped. This was slow going, but then Wildlight Entertainment tossed me a bone on Thursday: the newly added Raid Rush mode makes these situations happen far more frequently and I soon had the achievement! A little more grinding and I then got my kills, too. And that’s the end of my time in Highguard! I really do wish this had done better. I loved how the mechanics of the game funneled you into conflict one way or another, even across a massive map. Shame it probably won’t be around much longer.

Dipped back into Rattyvity Lab at the end of the week. I got an achievement on Friday so I could work on the Ducati races I still need, and then Saturday so I could work on my Insane playthrough of Duke Nukem and go be social. Just gonna drag this along for a while.
