What is warzone farming?

So I have kinda sorta read some of the threads on here and I am seeing a lot of people complaining about teams and how they’re farming other players and trolling them and what not. I’m still a little confused. Can someone explain to me what all of this means?

So basically it’s average and below average players who have a low self esteem, they then get a group of like minded players together, grab some tanks and banshees, lock the enemy team in their base and kill them over and over again. They then feel better about themselves, while getting Achilles.

Every time I catch a farmer 1v1 before we got locked, they either lose, or run to a teammate. They are so pathetic it’s not even funny.

Glad you think so.

At first I thought it was a little harsh, however, I have to say the truth-from my experience anyway- as the farmers I played, are exactly as I’ve described. If the other farmers are different, then I have not encountered them yet. I just describe the ones I’ve encountered.

happened to me yesterday

2 banshees and 2 scorpions outside one of our bases (dont know the name of the map cos i’m terrible with names - think it was the one with the Garage in the middle)

horrible

Basically a clan gets togeather in Warzone and then they capture all the bases then just sit outside your base and don’t go for the core so that you can feed them kills for the Achilles armor. On apex 7 though it’s a little harder to do since there’s the back exit.

never happened to me , i did have a game where the enemy team distroyed the core after 4 minutes but that is about it

This is just unnecessary. No need to make them out as any worse than they are. They’re just normal people playing the game. It has nothing to do with self-esteem. They just want Achilles. That’s all there is to it. And… uh Hello? It’s a team gametype. A smart player relies on teammates to help them stay alive. Just cause you like to 1v1 people in Warzone, doesn’t mean everyone else has to follow suit.

It’s the worst on ARC because that map already has an extremely terrible layout to begin with that promotes lopsided matches.

Plus there that damn hill that a scorpion can just sit on and you can’t get to it

Had this happen to me a few times tonight. I didn’t once lose connection or quit during these massacres. One was so bad that I had to wait for a respawn point to open up.

Even more frustrating, It took me 3 hours to finish enough games to get 9000 req points. I was just a couple minutes away from finishing the last game I needed for enough req points to buy a gold pack and I lose connection for the 4th in 3 hours. Tried to go into another game and got my first banhammer (9 hours). I’ve player over 1000 matches in halo 5 and only quit 3 or 4 of them.

It was an observation. Further, I never said I like to 1v1, that was another observation as to their skill level. And if they just want Achilles, why were they doing it before it was announced? To me, they just want to feel good WHILE getting it, I very clearly stated that. But sure, go ahead and cherry pick my post. Also, their opponents are ‘normal’ people playing the game. They have no respect for them, so why should I not describe their obvious lack of individual skill and possible issues?

Forgive me me for giving too much detail…

It’s smart people who found out a strategy to win Warzone games and rack up kills, whilst making noobs cry

No, they’re dumb people that didn’t realize that they can win the game by shooting that big glowing thing in the middle of the home base (it’s named “core”, fyi).

You cannot be serious. Farming casuals with tanks and banshees camped out of their base is not smart. If anything, the farmers are the noobs. They need such an advantage to be able to feel good about themselves. I don’t see these farmers in solo que for arena, that’s because they are too busy hiding behind their REQs and teammates.

Pathetic.

^ This. Its unsportsmanlike but a legit tactic. I wouldn’t put the blame entirely on the farmers, hopeful 343i can come up with something to discourage or counter this.

Hello bro that is not the same farming going on now. its organized high level teams using an expliot to play together as there well practiced team smoke much lower level casual teams. 2 banning violations right there but they have never been banned that I have seen. as i said and many other, they own everythig in around a minute and then kill spawners in the core area without ever taking it out for 20 minutes. another banning violation not enforced

It was so obvious that this achilles armor company stuff will affect warzone in a very negative way. They should’ve just made it available through personal achievements…
