CHALLENGE: Can I use the Mares Leg without breaking my keyboard?
A bit of a dramatic title but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t getting pissed off at times throughout this round.
Thank you for your suggestion, @satu-gt. I hope I haven’t kept you waiting too long :)
This is actually the second time I tried this. Few months back I played a round on Nansha Strike with the Mares Leg and got a similar round, only to realize I didn’t hit record. Needless to say, I took a few months off since I knew it would take a long time for me to get as good of a round as that.
Fast forward to today and I wanted to try it again. I did a warmup round on Wave Breaker only to go 0-8 and want to quit again, but I found a match on Propaganda, probably as good of a map as it gets for the challenge. I then proceeded to start 0-6, as the video showed, but I knew there was no turning back.
As bad of a weapon the mares leg is, I admittedly had some fun using it, especially when I was hitting shots more reliably. I didn’t want to stray away from the kills/deaths since I wanted to keep the video concise, but I did good capping flags, healing and reviving. Towards the end of the round I did go on another six death streak, but I had already known completing the challenge was a foregone conclusion after the first death streak. I’m at least glad I got two of the three goals to make the video much more watchable.
As for the headshot, I could only assume it was 50+ meters since you don’t get a marksman bonus for anything other than snipers. I saw the D flag was around 75 meters from me, so based on where the enemy was, I find it really hard to believe he wasn’t at least 50 meters out.
I’m happy to get that challenge out of the way, as I was getting very angry throughout the round, but I’m more than pleased I was able to salvage something from it.
Cheers.
