Is self destructing to cycle weapons in fiesta wrong?

I just got banned for self destructing to try to get some bulldog kills. I didnt realize this is something that can get you banned, because self destructing doesnt give the other team points.

Also, when does the timer on the banhammer reset?

I got banned a month or 2 ago for quitting matches to find gamemodes, and that one was a 5 minute ban. This one i just got is for 10 minutes

You aren’t supposed to quit matches or self-destruct for the weapons you need.

According to the marketing team of 343 Industries, you should instead buy a few dozen Challenge Swaps in order to swap out the challenges you don’t want with ones you do want.

It is a neat secret trick in the game that not many players use in order to actually advance forwards in progression and to unlock cool cosmetics before most of the other fanbase.

The cheat-code to make use of this exploit is a 12 digit number, followed by a fraction, and a three digit number that are found on a plastic card in your wallet/purse. However this cheat code exploit WILL somehow also drain money from your bank account for some reason. Though it is risky and frowned upon by the larger amount of the community, this exploit works at speedrunning progression.

Basically, if you are not willing to spend $50 a week on the game, you are guaranteed to not enjoy your time trying to grind for goods.

Yes, that’s a terrible idea.

1, your enemy team doesn’t gain any points, but your team does lose points. You’re throwing the game.

2, just because you didn’t spawn with one that doesn’t mean there’s not one out on the field for you to grab.

3, the Bulldog is a very common weapon in Big Team Battle games, and you can very easily get lots of kills with it in that mode.

Dude there are way easier ways to get Bulldog kills. Why’d you go grief your team like that.

A Bulldog is almost certain a confirmed spawn in most BTB matches.

No, it’s a casual mode so you do what you want.

that’s not true. If you self destruct in fiesta slayer the enemy team doesn’t receive credit for the kill. I just don’t understand how self destructing is worse than purposefully running into enemy fire to die and then cycle weapons. If you do it my way, the game lasts longer and you get more attempts to find a bulldog (until you get banned of course).

I haven’t thought of doing BTB to get bulldog kills, I appreciate that note.

there’s also shotty snipers in rumble pit but you’ve gotta roll the dice to get the mode just like everything else in this game lmfao

lol I agree its a social mode idk why 343 won’t let chaos take over

I tried doing that but you can’t tell which type of shotty snipers you’re gonna get while you’re queing up, so you can’t quit out of the loading menu before the game starts. So if you want to leave the match to find an ACTUAL match of shotty snipers, you’re likely gonna get banned for leaving matches (another annoying issue that shouldn’t be a punishment for social modes).

What’s crazy to me is that the self destructs don’t even have a negative impact to the game. There’s no negative score to indicate you did it and you’re still banned.

Stop making challenges like this you stop getting self destructs.

Just let yourself get killed. You’ll get the weapon you want eventually.

Yeah I agree that’s what I’ll do next time. I was just reluctant to do that because then the match ends sooner and this whole thing takes even longer.

I mean yes, it was just -

A little exhausting. You should probably know by now I consider Rambo a friend.
