Game mode: Breakthrough
3 Arc Titans of the other team (and a Hunter but they aren't important), utterly wrecked my team. Never played the objective to win, only played to prolong the torture because you see, if they capture the breaker and don't hack our base then we win and if they do capture it and capture ours, they win or if they do nothing and we capture the breaker and they prevent us from capturing their base we lose. Either way, they rigged it so that that it would always end 2-2 and the next round would decide it.
However, if everyone does nothing then it ends in a draw. Which awards no points which is what happened the first round and was pretty funny because Shaxx was disappointed in all of us for not even trying to play the objective.
So while they rigged the game so it would be as long as possible, these Arc Titans camped the heavy, and one in particular just kept using Truth over and over and over again, then Super and then their teammates super over and over and over again.
It was...beautiful in it's own way. Because it was literal torture. An interesting kind of torture, but torture nonetheless.
[I appreciate that.]
Big Boi Truth had 84 kills by the end of the game. lol
Might've gotten a 50 killstreak? It said something about "being a Ghost."

Anyway, I just wanted to give some feedback with the game mode. Breakthrough is a weird game mode that can be outright abused. I'm not even sure how this got past play testing, since Crucible Labs existed at the time and wasn't even tested first and put into Comp.
This might be a pretty good 3v3v3v3 mode with a map like the EAZ in mind. 🤔

This makes me want to eat this delicious stack of pancakes sitting before me.

3 RepliesBeing a ghost/phantom is 7 kills without taking damage. They happen fairly often

Yup, you got farmed. He was probably going for the “I Made This For You” Medal for getting a fifty kill streak. Really cool medal, but next to impossible to get legit.
-
Yeah, that happens sometimes

1 ReplyTheir teammate needed to super as well? That's odd. I figured one Arc Titan having a super for ten minutes would prove sufficient enough.

1 ReplyI still think that sounds like a very interesting game mode. Keep pushing it! Also just want to thank you, your posts are always welcome instructed and always a pleasure to read. Hope you have a great weekend

Ah, spawntrapping, the reason why game modes with fixed spawn points and no protection invariably wither and die.

1 ReplyThis is exactly why they took breakthrough out of the game for a while because it’s a stupid game mode that can be exploited and just ruins crucible

1 ReplyThey were farming you.

Never played that game but your story of torture was well narrated. The only isssue I personally take with your experience is that “you called hunters not important.” Hell no. Hunters are bae. Lol

Welcome to breakthrough.
