Pachinko

[Ганфайтер]

Any ideas or tips on how to get the achievement to get 500 orbs from one hit and accumulate 1000 orbs?
And then on average I get 200 balls from one game. Once I accidentally got 250. Any advice on how to get achievements for pachinko? On what trajectory to throw the balls? Throw a lot or one at a time?

I got this when I just hold down space for sometime

The best exploit I found is to aim ever so slightly to the left (not enough that the visual indicator rotates, but enough so that the balls consistently fall between the central pin and the one to its left). This shot on its own has a decent chance to reach a scoring exit, and since you get multipliers when you hit one of those, this already can get you even or slightly above that in the long run.

The next step is to quickly tap so that you release 4-5 balls in a short time frame. This tends to "overwhelm" the pachinko since the balls bounce off of each other and fall down straight to the platform above the scoring exits in higher numbers. Then you just need some patience. I think I only ever got a loss on the pachinko mini-game once, and got better and better as I experimented a little with the timing (the aiming, however, seems too good to mess with different angles, although I guess there might be better ones).

Good 'ol praying and luck, put on a podcast and stay there for like, 30 minutes or somethin'. Best i can say is try spreading the balls between left and right, cause it seems the bonus shows up on the opposite side where you do low scores, so by spreading you raise your chances of lucking out.

Find a spot that seems to get you more balls than you lose. Once you've found that, hold space (or put something on your spacebar to hold it down), check back in a few hours/go to sleep.

Tried it and got 250 max.

Either you didn't leave it long enough or it wasn't pointed in a good spot. I just did it a couple days ago and while it took 3-4 hours, it eventually did get it. Probably could easily take twice as long given it's all luck based.

I just hold down the button and get this result. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3213805144

Brother, did you just necro this year old thread to brag about your pachinko luck?

[Zandaran]

I got it through spreading 5-20 balls at a pop across the board. It's kinda luck based/random. Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win.....

I've played pachinko 4 or 5 times now in the game. I was under the impression you couldn't run out of balls until my very last game. A couple of times I set something heavy on my spacebar and then watched TV for about 1.5 hours, glancing at it periodically. One time I sold my remaining balls when I had 23,400 because I was bored and wanted to play again. Another time I only had the patience to hold spacebar until 10,000.
