Happy New Year !!!
These Year End Global and VIP Events are featuring an assortment of 18.5 LONG RANGE weapons:
The GLOBAL:
TOP 10: 18.5 MUSTANG 19.66M - 30.15M (SNIPER)
TOP 30: 18.5 PONY 16.38M - 26.87M (SNIPER)

Take it easy on the Jack tonight folks; assassins don't drink and kill (well, maybe they do)

Demon is at it again. He was in the Top 10 last global. But to have already qualified for Gold League after only 7 hours of play is insane.
Demon is a PVP Newbie. He is at only 7910 VP. He's Level 170 with all 19.5 weapons.
Base is Tier 18 and his Drone is only 134K, which is to be expected.
Yep ... he's a GOLD lunatic (18.5 SNIPER Prize) and he's already acquired 19.5 rated weapons; VMURDOK isn't far behind.
A single hack is a "lunatic", two or more constitutes an "asylum". Beyond that everything appears to be somewhat "normal", whatever that means these days, with the notable exception of BRADR752 who is allowing TZ to open up quite a sizeable lead.
*** SMH ***
For some perspective, the TOP 3 on Google Play are between 3,500-4,500 AP; TZ should easily be in 1st place on IOS and might explain his "run" as he attempts to catch these nut cases.

Good Luck and Good Hunting !!!
hope your game be working properly because mine freezes to much, and when I fire the heavy don't do any damage sounds like it's shooting but no damage to opponents... Always something dam GLU.
Happy New Year to you !!! Sorry to hear about your problem. Is this something relatively new or related to the old video drop frames issue?
Knock off the drone, and maybe a jugg (both of which have the non-interrupting fire nature) and play/frame rate can normalize again.
When either happens, it's better to just duck than force the play through. This is also noticed during MIRN when you have the target being hit by your gattling while his drone is targeting you. A slow motion kill is the result, with a careful eye on the health meter.
Yeap that exact as you describe it... So far I lost count of win streak by this and freezing problem. It's frustrating.
Avoid the POS flat top Iron sighted Gatling model Heavies like the plague. They all suffer from severe chain lag and the7 are like aiming a garden hose, only the clunky Iron Sight obscures your target completely. Chain guns=yuck!
You have the Diyu, which is the latest Gatling model Heavy and it is very powerful, but super slow. Use your earliest opportunity to ditch it for any heavy with an optical sight on top, either Red Dot or Acog. (All of the recent offerings have been Acog type sights.) Last cycle people traded down to the Blowfish from the more powerful karma because it sucked so bad.
Scorpion, how long have I been posting about how much I hate these weapons? You must be sick of hearing from me on this topic.
I'm with you and have been posting my stats listing the KARMA (idle and not used) since 09/23. We've shared our experiences, but players see that power rating and must find out for themselves I guess. They must also have noticed I never gave competing for the latest variation of these weapons a first thought.
Even after these posts, the next time they come around we'll see the same complaints.
Happy New Year !!!
Yes I do hate this guns too, but was the only one they offer, and worse I spend 3 days fighting to the end to get the parts, I had some like this before but didn't give me to many problems, but this one is making me crazy. I'm thinking on full upgrade the assault instead .
Ever hear of a vacation? Just because it's there doesn't mean you MUST have (use) it Upgrade your ASSAULT? Now you're using your head **SMILES** My rule for SHORTS has always been fight for the large vaults; even then SHORT BATTLES only represent 20% of all the battles I choose to fight.
Good Hunting !!!

The sun is up!! Still in bed but who cares lets do some upgrades guys..
Good advice SCORPION...
BTW, the parts are for the 19.0 Deer Sniper, which would be complete at 6750 Gold Buy in.
Now we're talking !!! Finally a 19.5 HEAVY with an optical sight
And so modestly priced: only 9250 buy in.
Yep ... it's pretty expensive, but then again we're looking at a 60+ DAY shelf life, if we discipline ourselves. Of course, if we wait a few weeks we can battle our brains out in the Global for a clone (no guarantees though).
Uh oh, I feel a rush coming on
Global numbers on Apple platform with 2 Days 14 Hours 50 mins to go:
#1 23810 DEMON077
#2 12704 TH54
#6 10485 TONYZAPPER23
#15 6510 AUSAUSA
#20 5360 BRAD752
#30 4740 RIG007
I am sitting in #111 with 2060 on 86 wins.
I'd say that it is expensive. $300.00 is way too rich for my blood. I will have to wait for the Global, LOL.
Well the STALLION definitely needs to be upgraded before the next region. The other weapons are 18.5s and can finish out the current cycle but you're right, an upgrade will soon be in order. I'm looking for 19.5 TESLA and HEAVY real soon.
Drones really become effective at roughly 410K and get better as you move up. The drone development program costs millions and millions of diamonds, but what else are you going to spend them on?
I look at drone development as a diamond repository of sorts that can help you on the battle field.
A lot of the answer will depend on what is your current player level and stats. If you can post the information, we can you a better answer.
For us, we had been playing for quite a while before drones were released and have been playing catch up ever sense. For us as Scorpion has said, until our drones reached 410K, they were not effective, but our Base Tier levels were already quite high. If you are a Base Tier 5 or 6, the drone will become effective a lot sooner.
It will depend a lot on when you started, as a recall, most of us were already Base Tier 8 or 9, when drones were released.
When we were Base Tier 12, a 92K drone was starting to be effective. Now that we are Base Tier 17 and 18, our drones have to be a lot higher before they are effective.
But as Scorpion said, yes the drones are expensive to upgrade, but a lot of times, where else are you going to spend your diamonds?
Read thru the micromanagement post, after page 4 or 5 of the posts, Brad and Scorpion and others figured out drones and how best to approach drone upgrades, they started to include base tier level in the discussion of drone levels and drone cost after page 9 or so.
Brilliant responses CONCERNED and it got me thinking (that can be dangerous). I rated the 51K DRONE @ TIER 11 with a "C" and I'll rate the 1.56M (1.21M weapons) DRONE @ TIER 18 with a "B" ...
... so roughly 7 TIERS later AND after hundreds of millions of diamonds AND countless PvP battles, LITTLE ME has only improved his grade from "C" to "B".
I CAN see that an "A" is just around the corner however; the question is can I manage to acquire enough drone weapons parts?
