How to ACTUALLY get god rays

This is a guide, not some "friendly" players rant. This guide will explain how to obtain the weapon god rays.

In game definiton

"Beat Kchamp or a level 100 player who has this achievement"

Given that Kchamp, this games developer is very busy and does not play this game often, for the purpose of this guide despite this being my own method of obtaining the achievement that feature is being ignored.

Simply put, to get god rays all you have to do is beat a level 100 player, i am not aware of any genuine players at level 100 who lack the achievement (though some extreme case may be out there where for some reason, even after all this time, they lack the achievement).

Where can i find a level 100 player?

Being very high level, having a level 100 player in a lobby will raise the average level alot, however there are a few noteworthy places.

Game types:
Rebound: 4.08x / 1v1 rebound (if the level of the lobby is 100, then the player in the lobby is also level 100!), for 4.08x lobbies aim for an average level of 80 or higher, this is not the most convenient method though.

Charge: 8 man free for all charge lobbies with a high average level or a 1v1 at level 100.

Deathmatch: Aim for 3v3 or 4v4 lobbies with an average level above 80, in a 2v2 or 1v1 deathmatch, a low level player will stand little chance against a level 100 player.

Shoccer farms: These are very popular with high levels who just want to get xp while doing very little, and since its mostly RnG based, this is the easiest way to win against a level 100 player.

In Addition to the above, you may find friendlier level 100s at https://discord.gg/PU4uRXV who may be able to help with this, pinging all of them is not the best idea though, ask nicely and you should find a friend to help though!

Where not to look or ask for level 100 players.

=======================================
Gamemodes where you dont tend to find level 100`s

> Points (Particularly in """xp farms""")* sidenote: these don't work.
> Assassin (particularly in hidden blade farms)
> Juggernaut, decreasing chance with player cap.
> Marksman, except in wagers.
> Open Field shoccer matches.

In addition to all of this:

The forums: Because a sizeable number of level 100 players, unlike me, seem entitled and are very rude to players who are looking for this weapon.

The Community discord server: For similar reasons to the above, it seems that some reason it is in the community spirit to push away players asking for help getting this weapon.

The Reddit: Once again, for some reason we cant just help people, we gotta be rude and feisty, a shame Kchamp entrusted us high levels with this job really, it just was not to be.

What even are god rays, are they worth having?

The god rays and its upgrade deity are rubberised strikes (similar to air strike), upon landing they direct 3(5) columns of light at the target area with each column summoning 12 rays that deal 6(5) damage.

The upgrade does not require very much xp and is easy to unlock, the weapon is in the rare category and will not appear frequently.

With all of this in mind, god rays (and particularly Deity) are very strong weapons, particularly when wind is disabled, easily doing 100-150 damage, the upgrade however will require an huge area for its rays to spawn in, and neither weapon will do well against opponents in tight spaces!

How likely am i to beat a level 100 player?

This depends entirely on the game mode you have picked, while i cannot determine the chance of winning in a 2v2 or greater OR free for alls, i can provide a rough guide on your chance of winning in a deathmatch with wind and one weapon, assuming you have the correct skill points distribution. (Gun > Chassis > Track > Luck).

I have picked out 200/400/600hp formats, for rebound these are 100/200/300hp instead.


At...
Level 95: |45%|42%|40%|
Level 90: |35%|30%|25%|
> Most players get god rays naturally before level 90.
Level 85: |25%|15%|12%|
Level 80: |15%|12%|10%|
Level 75: |10%|8%|4%|
Level 70: |8%|6%|4%|
Level 60: |5%|4%|3%|
Level 50: |3%|2%|1%|
Level 40: |2%|1%|N/A|
Level 30: |1%|1%|N/A|
LVL < 30: |1%|N/A|N/A|

At levels below 30, it is somewhat pointless to try a 1v1 with a level 100 player as the diffference in AWD (average weapon damage) is far too great. Ideally try to be at least level 60 before seeking out these players or you may encounter frustration.

Endnotes

I created this guide to help inform players about god rays, since there are alot of rambly and silly threads/posts which dont actually help players understand where to get them and sources you would expect to be helpful in this regard, really are not.

Please note that if the level 100 player leaves the lobby, nobody gets the achievement, please do not target them, else it will be your loss.

If you found this guide was helpful, please toss it a thumbs up or a favourite, it lets me know people like the content.

we'll agree to disagree on the first point..

while at first glance, tracks are not important for your winrate, they do very much play a role in it. Without tracks, your movement becomes quite limited and you get easily caught in a hole, making it easier for you opponent. at the same time, that limited movement means you might be required to make more skillful shots, which you realistically can't perform consistently on low to mid level.

Yes, you stated clearly what damage had wind included, my critique was on you saying 100 as lowest number for both weapons when it's already considered good damage for deity, which, on even terrain, outperforms god rays. Those numbers you mentioned are simply way too high.

[SandTag]

Shoccer is absolutley a favourite with high levels, anyone *serious* about pushing xp seems to be either doing that or rebound 1v1s and its the easiest mode for a low level to win in against a high level, which is why it was noted.

As for the skill distributions, the only concern that was put into it was raising the win rate so track was non-essential, it did not raise the average damage or HP (which are the two biggest differences), realistically anyone below level 51 is wasting their time getting godrays.

as for the damage, it is stated quite clearly which is with and without wind, deity is more than large enough to bag multiple players with and both weapons perform much better without wind (since wind causes the affected area to grow larger with drift), its not hard to get 150 on god rays without wind, deity in conditions similar to that needed for acid hail can go far above 200 with a few crits too.

[marethyu]

Second attempt because the first was too long:
Begging for god rays was a huge issue when kyle changed the achievement and it's still ongoing, hence the restrictions for asking.
Shoccer isn't played as often as you make it out to be, most play either 4.08 or 1v1 in various modes
Your percentages for winning are utopical, especially for lower levels since the skill gap alone is massive, not to mention the difference in weapons
Your skill distribution contradicts what most high level players are saying: track, gun/chassis, luck
The damage you told for gr/deity is ridiculously hard to achieve in a real match for various reasons. getting 100 with deity (wind) is considered good damage.

I'm sorry if this sounds accusatory or something, but max comment size quite stunted my original comment

Maybe if people read this, they'll try to properly get it instead of begging and asking other level 100s to lose a match on purpose
