It's gotta be closing in on 10 million. In each of the Gold matches I played this weekend there were at least 60-75 Phantoms per match. They start spawning on wave 3 on Gold, and it's usually 4 per spawn, and waves 6-10 we get double and triple spawns. So just some cursory numbers:

Wave 3 - 4+
Wave 4 - 4
Wave 5 - 4
Wave 6 - 8+
Wave 7 - 12
Wave 8 - 12
Wave 9 - 12
Wave 10 - 12+

Total 78+ Phantoms per match, and that might be a low estimate.

On money waves they keep spawning until objectives are completed, so depending on how fast or slow you complete the objectives you could end up with more or less than the above.

At that rate it would only take like 13,000 completed Gold matches against Cerberus to complete the objective, and that's an absurdly low number. If you factor in all of the Silver and Bronze matches as well, I'd say the number of dead Phantoms across all systems will likely approach the 10 million mark.


Yeah, I fear my estimate may be low for these reasons, but I also believe that some people may have relaxed in their persuit of victory.  Still, I like your numbers better.

A bit of correction. Phantoms don't spawn on wave 3. They start spawning on wave 4 on gold and wave 5 is without phantoms. Wave 6 objective wave will include phantoms only and no atlas. From wave 7 onwards phantom will start apperaing in gradually increasing numbers. I recorded a gold game vs cerberus and counted. There are approximately 40-50 phantoms per gold game depending on how fast you complete the objectives at wave 6 and wave 10.

Agree with 2nd part though. Crossing 10 million mark is very likely...

Well, now that we know how spawns work, phantoms move faster than brutes, so you kill them quicker and way more spawn, so it's going to be a muh, much higher number!

4 Million or so, considering it's not just PC and Xbox this time.
And the fact that Phantoms can be killed using Stasis.

I'd be more interested in how many people died trying to pwn phantoms.

Only played one day of this weekend... but these "phantoms" were a mere inconvenvience when we had two Stasis-bublle Asari per lobby. And there are easily 15 per Gold match... so, quite a bit. Even the FBWGG guys were fighting Cerberus, though I had much more fun on Dagger.

In summary, even though this has been said before...
its OVER 9,000!!!

Does it matter? Victory pack is a turd on a stick. Stick not included.

3.7 million i think

Or the EA servers crashed and they are left with a record of 27 dead phantoms in total.
Always a possibility

Personally, my lobbies saw the deaths of Phantoms in excess of a thousand, and I'm sure there are plenty other PS3 players more dedicated than I am.

There were 3 million Brutes killed in a weekend. There are more Phantoms per wave than Brutes and now you have PS3 support.

I don't think 10 million is a far fetched number.

I did some quick calculations based on the number of games I played this weekend on Gold. If there are 40 Phantoms per match and my squads and I played in excess of 100 matches, we probably contributed to 4,000 dead Phantoms or more. Not bad.

Did they ever say what the actual number was?  People seem to be getting victory packs, but did they ever say what the total was anywhere?

9 million. Give or take a few hundred thousand.
