Event TDM 2v2 Fleeted - Tips and Info - Partners in Crime

2v2 Team Deathmatch
​

Gameplay Tips

• You win by getting 4 kills or capturing the zone.
• Small maps will only be in rotation.
• STAY AGGRESSIVE.. Winning slowly nets you less coins over time than losing with high damage quickly. Win ratio is meaningless.
• Capture occurs faster in this event. Watch for quick-caps.
• Capture will reset on damage like normal.
• Speeders and Enforcers are likely the meta for this event again. Tesla Bolts and Tesla Shields should be in full display.
• Defenders and Shooters stay aggressive and attack together. Run as many Railguns as you can. They work best to bust bubbles and there aren't any waves on small maps. (Thanks @Nicolas)
• Fixers focus on damage first. You will get less coins if you are running and healing a lot. Train for stun-removal.

How to earn more coins (in order of most coins to least)

1. Capturing the zone.
2. Doing a lot of damage.
3. Avoiding as much damage as possible.
4. Winning.

Overall Tips

• You do NOT earn stars for guild quest during this event!
• Fleeting is allowed. Try to fleet as close in gear score as possible.
• Try to run your most reliable, meta setups. You'll be matched against evenly geared opponents, so if their weapon is more reliable, they will probably win.

Matchmaking Tips
These tips are what I’ve gathered from personal experience and discussions with other well-known members and devs. If something I’ve stated is incorrect and the devs would like to chime in, they are welcome.

• Matchmaking (MM) is based on “Power”. Power is a combination of your shown gear score and crew training. Review the gear score of your teammates and enemies often. If you are consistently getting matched against players with a much higher gear-score than you.....
• There is an “anti-exploiting” rule that is affecting a lot of players. Basically, if you equip an item that is roughly 2-3 tiers below your highest item (for example, equipping an epic t3 and an epic t5) then you will be seen as an exploiter and the lower item will be given a higher gear score. Therefore, the best strategy is to equip items close to the the same tier.
• Infamy is no longer used at all in event matchmaking.
  

Reward Requirements:​

You purchase one of three boxes for 35 coins that contains either parts, pieces, or perks. Once you have spent 900 coins, you get the Legendary Perk for free.
Here are the possible purchases:

For the piece and perk box, you are guaranteed one legendary piece or epic perk every 10 boxes, respectively.
DO NOT SPEND YOUR COINS UNTIL YOU HAVE 910! COINS WILL ROLL OVER TO THE NEXT EVENT, BUT LEGENDARY METER WILL RESET.​

It might be beneficial to save 1050 coins if you are getting pieces/perks so you don’t miss out on the 10th box reward.
If you average 5 coins per game, that is 180 games required to earn a Legendary perk.
That is roughly 6 hours of gameplay (estimated average of 2-minute games).​

If you have any setups or strategies that are working for you, please share them!​

 

Good catch. I've updated them.

 

To some extent. Put on a reliable meta setup that can bust bubbles. Stay together and attack together. Try not to venture too far from spawn so when one of you dies the other isn't an easy kill.
