Anyone actually figured out spectral hunts?

[Pctechnik]

There really doesn't seem to be any logic to them, When hunting as a team, how does the game decide who actually gets the point for killing them? nothing we have tested (My warband) seems to remain consistent.

Anyone actually figured out how this works? And no, it's not as simple as, "shoot them, get kills" - that only ever seems to work if you are the only person shooting them, (no team mates or rando's - good luck with that).

The person who lands the killing blow gets the kill. It's that simple.

8 level battle 1 vs 1 (Disco area) 25 kills easy

Let us know if you find out something because the Dev are generally not prepared with proper explanation as to how an event works till a week before it ends.

It feels like these event lately were suggested by content creator. The rewards should be to whoever hits it. The coding should be

Whoever hits the boss gets the rewards with these perimeter
-if your dead while the boss dies you get nothing
-if you have less than an X amount of dmg you get nothing
-If you leave within X amount of meters from the boss you get nothing

By doing it this way. Everyone gets a fair share of the reward not to mention prevents people from griefing other people work to gain reward for doing nothing. This also prevents excessively farming for doing nothing.

But seeing how the devs are running the game to the ground. They might give the person that does less dmg all the reward at this point.

At the moment only the player that do the fatal hit get the kill

[Fartex]

to be fair: the last one to hit gets the kill is so poo.
ive had it happen and noticed it a lot that people just stand there while other people are fighting it, and then they chime in with their 120 bullet cap magazine and score the kill, for only shooting 2 seconds.

why not change it to the same mechanic of the other lunar spawns? you hit it, you get credit.
then there is the case of the leaderboard e-peen. nothing to gain to be in top 3 except you get to show off how "smart" you are with getting kills.

[Pctechnik]

Again, I tested the claims of "the one to kill gets the point" and in my tests, that was not conclusive.

Deviation only drop for the person who gets the kill. So they are not doing it for leaderboard, they are doing it for deviation. Spectral Spawn is by far much faster compared to 120 whisper chest to farm deviation.

[Pctechnik]

So I'm essence, deviation drops and a two week event will have people farming these WAY past the 25 needed to "earn" all the event rewards...

And the unnecessary "kill shot" limitation renders these 25 points unobtainable to all but tryhards with (pun intended) Meta builds - only realistic after playing a few seasons.

Well, I know what I'm not doing.

You can hunt them in low lvl areas since they do not drop lvl 5 deviation in low level areas. The low level areas are a ghost town.

You don't need high dps to get the kill, you need a fast weapon that has loads of ammo to get the last hit. Primal Rage is best candidate if you want to compete for last hit, not because it does most dps (it does) but because you can stack Fast Gunner for very fast rate of fire and it has no reload. Don't use the right build for it if you just want the last hit, use the Mask key item that add 10 max Fast gunner stack for a maximum of 20 stacks for fastest unlimited fire.

I have this, but sadly am on way of winter, and when trying a lower level, got NO crates... Will have to keep looking.
