Spy Drone Community Event: July 5 – 8Th

[[DE]Rebecca 171,228]

Band together to eradicate a legion of Spy Drones infiltrating Tenno forces throughout the solar system: succeed and be handsomely rewarded.

 

Follow the community progress bar in-game throughout the weekend. IF the community-wide event is successful and the bar is filled before Monday at 12PM EDT, the following ninja-worthy rewards will be given: 

- Kill 20+ Drones & receive a SNIPETRON VANDAL!
- Don’t stop at 20—the top 100 players will receive a PRIMED CHAMBER MOD- first shot in new clip gives +25% bonus damage per fusion level.
- Part of a clan?  The top clans from 4 pre-determined tiers will receive a GRINEER DRONE STATUE for their dojo -- awarded after Update 9 (see below for tier/reward details) 

 

Be vigilant, Tenno -- Spy Drones have a new cloaking mechanism: when players are within range, they will reveal themselves but permanently disappear if they are not successfully killed with 1 shot. These Drones will only spawn in Grineer missions that are Level 15 or higher, prepare!

Remember: these rewards are only available if the community-wide progress bar is filled! Tenno, you have until July 8^th @ 12 PM EDT. 

 

*Rewards will be given after the event ends July 8 @ 12 PM EDT (Grineer Drone Statue not included until after Update 9)

**Following are the Clan ‘tiers’ and Clan Rewards:
1-10 members: Top 10 Clans

11-100 members: Top 5 clans

101-1000 members: Top 3 clans

1001+ members: Top 3 clans

 

 

Post-Event Success: Congratulations, Tenno! The Goal has been met. The event will still run until 12 PM EDT today for those still lookin' to get 20 + kills. Once completed, we will run the stats to create leaderboards, and begin populating accounts with the rewards. We will notify everyone along the way!

Whoo!!!!!! Snipetron Vandal!

[omagawolf 567]

Holy puck

[DeusX 26]

yayy

[LoopStricken 5,747]

Well now, doesn't this sound interesting...

[BinoAl 598]

So the regular snipetron is completely unattainable? That really sucks. I'm a completionist at heart, and I got screwed out of it at the reset :(

[Cpl_Facehugger 7,570]

Are they only on Grineer missions, or are they spying on our battles against the Corpus and Infested too?

[Lane 398]

Sweeeeeeet.

[DanPaul7 993]

More Vandals to add to my collection!

[RePaused 475]

F*** yeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssss

[-CK- 221]

YES ANOTHER VANDAL WHOOOO

[NeoCrimson 90]

What's the best place to find these things?

[dukelego 244]

Why can everyone that participates and gets 100+ kills or sumit get the statue...

[XxSalamander-NatsuxX 6]

Hmm...

[McVolker 696]

But how do we know how many  of these Drones we have killed individually, is my question. Does it monitor it for us, or do we have to do it ourselves?

[EerieCoast 41]

If we have no more weapon slots will you guvs be providing us with one or will we have to get rid of a slot to get it?

[Strium168 16]

Lol! Just killed 2! 18 more to go

[AshenSwift 245]

If a mission is, say, 11-21, does that count? Or is it 15 minimum (say 15-27 or whatever)?

[wadlo 107]

Does it count when someone else in your group has killed a drone?

[SkyFish. 61]

If only I had the other vandals to have the full set D:

[Papper2k 9]

I will hope the best to everyone, may the best clans win, I'm kinda happy that my clan is under 10 people, now we jsut got to do our best as this tiny group and we will prevail!

[DecapitatingJim 1,738]

I AM SO #$%%& READY.

[Bill_Gates 74]

Will this new mod be obtainable in ways other than this event?

[sh0Zz 375]

Nice only the Top 100 NoRealLife Gamer will receive a good Mod real nice idea....
