"Protect Forerunner core" is a Mythic death knell

I mean, it’s destroyed in less than 90 seconds every single time this weekend on Escape from ARC.

I don’t really have a complaint or other comment here other than just venting my bemused frustration into the forum void. At least I know by now not to waste my REQ cards when it pops up?

It doesn’t help when the enemies spawn at the objective, either. That is why it is killed in less than 90 seconds, terrible game design in terms of where the enemies spawn.

In preparation of this round, it’s wise to take a Gravity Hammer with you to smash apart small crowds of enemies in a single swing. When that runs out, make liberal use of the Splinter Turrets dropped by the Soldier Commandos as a quick and easy explosive weapon.

or try to splatter everything as it spawns in

hahaha you think that round is impossible? try defending the garage that’s impossible.

Actually, that one’s pretty easy if you killed enough AI beforehand. I was able to spawn in a Rocket Hog and a standard Wraith on two separate occasions because I was at level 3, close to 4 and called in a random vehicle REQ. You want hard? Go defend the Garage for me.

May as well change the title to “Attack the Forerunner Core”.

I kind of agree with the second poster. It is due to their spawn location being so close to the cores. You have to be very attentive and even if you get there it’s hard because the enemies have soooooo much health and deal equally high amounts of damage. It would be nicer if they were housed in a garage or some structure but they usually seem to be stuffed into a corner.

On Mythic, being out in the open is a death sentence. You need to be in a vehicle almost from round one if you can. & Trust me even that can’t save you half the time. Soldiers can take out a tank on their own pretty quick in mythic.

During the Garage portion, I’ll sometimes pull out a Grinder (or even a Tartarus’ Gavel) to devastating effect. Risky? Absolutely. Is it worth it? HELL YEAH!

OMG Yes!! The Garage is chaos!!

‘‘Seize the Forerunner Core’’ more like to me when it comes to that objective. The enemy wouldn’t want their own powerful property to fall into enemy hands… so they would destroy it as a desperate move.

With a full team this is possible.

Are you talking about the one in round (2)? I just grab a wasp and a few teammates grab ghosts and it is an 80% win rate

It’s actually possible. Use prometheans weapons

I’m not sure it can be beaten honestly. We had 6 tanks out and couldn’t defend it in a game this weekend.

I’m not referring to the round two defense either. That ones easy. I’m talking about the one outside by the cliffs in a later round.
