Didn't I hear when they announced these would change to bi-weekly, that the Packs would be granted immediately after the challenge completed? I'm sure I remember reading that.

All I heard was the bi-weekly part.

Phantoms are such BS. I had one facing a different direction, attacking something else (my combat drone), while doing a cartwheel, STILL hitting me with its palm-cannon that's nearly impossible to avoid or see coming and taking down my shields in one hit. How can a melee class, with stealth, that is nearly invulnerable, also have the best gun in the game? How can the best gun in the game be small enough to fit into a small girl's palm and have unlimited ammo? It just doesn't make sense. Not to mention they're smart enough to stand near fallen enemies and kill them as soon as they revive. And because they're nearly invulnerable to most things, it takes too long to kill them and THEN revive.

Having the best gun in the game kind of hints that they are not "a melee class". I'm willing to bet most deaths to phantom are at range.

It's not "a small girl's palm", she's heavily cyborgized. The whole arm might be artificial with a mass driver along the length, for all we know.

When they become invulnerable to powers, they're immobile and extremely susceptible to bullets. Ever thought you could bait it and just shoot the head then?

So, did we kill 1 mln Phantoms?

I was afraid to try a Gold match, but I made it! Looking forward to that bonus pack.

Phantoms are easy stuff for Vanguard, just charge them fast enough. Playing an Infiltrator though, I found the things terrifying. They're difficult to aim with their small frame and jumping around and when they get close you're totally screwed. And their palm-cannon thing is ridiculous; for a while I thought they were melee only and didn't have a gun until I got killed by a Phantom at range. You can't even see the damn thing firing, wtf.

[m00nsister]

eagerly awaiting the (exact. hopefully) number of killed phantoms!

Had fun raping phantoms with my GI using a falcon this weekend, helped out a lot of newbie randoms in the process via operation carry

[shedevil3001]

i managed to stay alive on the silver match killing phantoms, luckily i was an asari vanguard, so if a phantom got close to my team i just looked for those blue sparks from its hands then if none were there i hit it with stasis, my team headshot them, full extraction it was fun, the gold match was surprisingly easier than i expected thanks to some great advice from a few people, fbw against geth, i used my geth engineer, we had a soldier, salarian, and adept, we held the line and achieved full extraction, it was great teamwork

I just extracted on a couple of gold runs (and as far as I can tell, the event is running for another 8 hrs), should there have been any acknowledgement that I'd completed the squad goal?

No acknowledgement until Tuesday afternoon/evening when it shows up.  The commendation pack usually appears awhile after the victory packs.

We had a good run Micah definitely did our part.  Fight On!

[HairyCallahan]

Hi guys. Did we make it, did we kill 1 milion phantoms? Btw, I've played and beaten quite a few gold matches. Will I just get 1 commendation pack, or will I get one for every completed match? And where can I find the pack? Is it just for free in the store where the other packs are. I'm playing PS3..

The part where they hover over the folk they kill is what ruined a bunch of runs for us this weekend.  Once on a defend the upload we got swarmed by phantoms and they killed everyone - I had my rocket launcher equiped ( got killed when I tried to use it ) and used five revives to try to get up and fire it - never got a shot off, no matter how long I waited.

You only get one pack for the weekend, and it will show up in the store for you ( at zero price ) after the event is over - that is how it works on xbox.

Once you figure them out, phantoms are fairly easy to take down.   If you are on Bronze - you won't see one until wave 8, so don't look for them early - but at wave 8 keep your ears open for the distinctive sound their gun makes. They also appear on Wave 10.  Can't remember when they show up on Silver/Gold - only that it's earlier at each level, and more come more frequently.  Wave 10 on gold is INSANE with phatoms (and atlases)- as common or more common than assault troops at that point.

When you hear the phantom's gun, run/walk to the sound - keeping eyes open - don't just blindly run in kamikaze style - they like cloaking on you until it's too late.  Helps if your teammates know to do the same.  If it's a challenge wave - kill the phantoms first, then finish the challenge (except wave 10 on gold - because they just keep coming until the challenge is complete!)

Best classes to take out a Phantom are biotics based - Vanguard or Adept.  If human Vanguard, charge/nova them.  If asari vanguard, first stasis, then charge - wham BOOM!!!

If Asari Adept - just use stasis, then you can follow up with warp for a biotic combo.  Phantoms are totally vulnerable to stasis - esp. if it's maxed out to the bubble - you can sometimes catch more than one in a bubble (esp. at silver/gold levels).

Other classes can take on a phantom as well, but not as easily - I think I've managed to take one out on every class.  Probably the most fun are to headshot them as Infiltrator, or shoot/ballistic blade them as a batarian soldier - esp. if you have the maxed explosive blades.  Boom!!!

Jesus Christ you're impatient.

It comes tomorrow usually. I hope you get the Eagle in your pack.

EDIT: Looking at your unlocks, I can tell that you're one of the newbies who decided to play gold this weekend just for the pack, amirite?

lol, I find the class easiest to deal with phantoms to be engineer or tech based sentinel. ED/overload + headshot = dead phantom, faster than the vanguard can charge them xD

BTW the maxed explosive blades do less damage than the max damage+ bleed ones. and they do it slower. so the explosion upgrade is pretty pointless.:innocent:
