A moot question since only the insane asylum will win that weapon.
One thing is for sure, the Store is now defunct unless your looking for buying missing weapons for elite missions.
Actually, going back in time and for 2x Invasion Cycles (8 Weeks each), there were 2x Tier Weapons available ABOVE the prevailing Defense Tier and 2x Tier Weapons ABOVE the VIP Events Tier ...
... this also indicates that at least 1x and probably 2x more Defense Base Tiers have been scheduled.
(So get "PAPA" done as soon as is practical).
Only the "mad record keeping" of The SCORPION can keep up with such things, so don't feel bad.
I did advise that the PYRAMID TESLA would be available via VIP Event this week, didn't I?
Since many have crafted (or won outright) the PYRAMID TESLA and the rest can now acquire that weapon via VIP Event, the "parity trend" of weapons amongst players continues in earnest.
No offensive advantages, No defense ... just pure unadulterated killing ... skills vs. skills. :cool:
... and energy vs. energy, of course (simple).
There was one thing that surprised me though; 2.2QD (Quadrillion) Power ...
... this tells me that GLU has solved the upper limit problem and the potential appears to be limitless.
(But is it really 2.2 Quadrillion OR something less with a fancy sticker?).
May "The Force" be with you my friend.
Good Luck and Good Hunting !!!
RANK #10: 18,571 AP (COOLMOTION)
RANK #12: 16,060 AP (DEATHMISTRESS) :cool:
RANK #30: 12,223 AP (BAGIRA68)
They're Off !!!
It's still early but I would have expected a little more enthusiasm for a 44.5 SNIPER RIFLE ...
... so far, it is "par for the course" at this stage of a Global Invasion Event.
BULLDOZ3R has the early advantage; CHECK. The TERMINAT3R is on the move.
Good Luck and Good Hunting !!!
Nothing out of the ordinary; in fact scoring is so "typical", that I'll simply mention the TOP 3 ...
... the rest of us can continue to collect our precious Nanocrystals. :cool:
RANK #01: 76,396 AP (BULLDOZ3R) ... Continues to lead the way.
RANK #02: 62,035 AP (KATANA1984) ... Gamely 2nd place.
RANK #03: 57,110 AP (FRED8047) ... Seems up against it.
The leader is on track to score close to 200,000 AP; again nothing out of the ordinary.
Good Luck and Good Hunting !!!
Will most likely be for another 42.5 weapon NOT offered in the Global.
Usually takes a few Invasion Events to get enough parts; we've moved on from 41.5 to 42.5, so we start all over with an 8x Week Invasion Battle Cycle. We're in Week #2.
Even then, it's unlikely that an average player will acquire enough parts to craft a weapon ...
... I've only done it once all year (since January when Invasions started).
In short, Invasions are for Nanos so you can continue to evolve the weapons you already have.
Good Luck !!!
Gold leagues will offer 42.5 level gun parts and silver/bronze leagues will offer 43.5 level gun parts..
I doubt there will ever be parts for a 43.5 weapon during this Battle Cycle; possibly in 8x weeks ...
... but what ever parts are offered, it will be for a weapon other than the 42.5 weapon parts being offered in this Global Invasion Event.

Now most of this has changed somewhat, will continue to evolve and there is no way to predict with 100% certainty, what GLU will actually reveal.
But I think one thing has remained consistent ...
... it's next to impossible to craft a weapon from Invasion Events (at least not in a single event cycle).
Good Luck and Good Hunting !!!
As much as I hated taking an axe to such a pretty face ...
... once the bullets starting flying, I really had no choice in the matter. :cool:
Good Luck and Good Hunting !!!
Here my base is already upgraded to Max.. But still only 2.15 B is last max payout.... Don't know how you got this LOL. Probably a luck or glu bug
GLU reversed the payouts quite some time back; the stronger your weapons, the smaller the payouts.
The key is to keep at least one type of weapon (SR or LR) at the prevailing tier (now TIER 41) so you can get an opponent other than those 2.15B "bots".
Using 41.5 WEAPONS @ TIER 41 will match you against RL Players once in awhile ...
... every so often you'll run into a player that's asleep at the wheel. :cool:
Thnx a lot bro ....
Nothing is impossible bro ..those who have stamina will easily craft that ..lol
I said "next to" impossible ... after all I did it once in 2017. LOL
... the cost in time AND tokens wasn't worth it though.
(In retrospect, it may have been easier to go for 3rd Place in the Global Invasion Event).
Getting to the GOLD League is easy; SILVER League is automatic ...
... the number of tokens required to WIN once and PLACE twice (once you're there) is considerable.
(Don't plan on sleeping much).
If you've got the tokens to burn then go for it. :cool:
I'll simply mention the TOP 5 ...
RANK #01: 161,596 AP (BULLDOZ3R) ... Continues to lead the way.
RANK #02: 153,660 AP (FRED8047) ... Up for the place position.
RANK #03: 128,560 AP (KATANA1984) ... Faltered; drops back.
RANK #04: 118,235 AP (1CHAMPION1) ... Saving ground.
RANK #05: 102,321 AP (NINJA43) ... On the move a little late, unfortunately.
The leader is still on track to score close to 200,000 AP.
1CHAMPION1 and KATANA1984 had a minor-duel going on and in the process BOTH have dropped out of contention ...
... does FRED8047 have the tokens to finish strongly and grab the top prize?
BULLDOZ3R is looking confident; steady as she goes ... News at 11. :cool:
Good Luck and Good Hunting !!!
Yes absolutely ..It doesn't matter if we fail ..
Still we have to give a try ...and that must be best one ..
... not a 42.5 BLANFORD MKII SNIPER
... not a 43.5 BLANFORD MKII SNIPER
... not a 43.5 of any kind
The trend of NOT being able to use parts from Global Invasions in SL continues ...
... has been that way all year long, I'm sorry to say.
Now ... you can fight for the 42.5 STAG MKII in the Silver League and spin for additional parts.
(There are also parts for the 42.5 BLANFORD MKII available via spinning).
Good Luck and Good Hunting !!!
Oh dam.n ...is glu joking us ..why the he'll are they giving sniper instead of heavy gun ..
Crazy glu
Are you in the Silver League? and did you get a Content Update earlier today?
How they can offer heavy gun in leagues after offering sniper in global?
hmm okay. Gold league continues with same BrandFord sniper parts. So now its good for gold league users. When invasion introduced first time then it was good for silver/bronze league players but now gold league players have benefits.
Well sort of ...
... the GOLD LEAGUE has always been the only realistic option for crafting a weapon I think ...
... SILVER LEAGUE was always a pretty dull and expensive option with regards to these Invasion Events.
Then again, you can't take Event Tokens with you right? LOL I refuse to spend GOLD spinning for tokens to spend during these events though ... VIP is a much more cost effective alternative.
(Sort of defeats the purpose since by the time you have the tokens, you have the weapon).
I don't even bother trying to get a weapon during Invasions; only collect the nanos. :cool:
(and score VP).
Then again ... again ... I'm accumulating thousands of event tokens and gold bars. *ugh* so I might need to start spending some I suppose.
