Arena nicknames
« on: October 18, 2017, 06:21:08 pm »
After reading on the wiki about the different nicknames you can earn at the Arena, I set my sights on the Crosshair/Angel of Death nickname. Thus, I brought my AFW rifle to the ring, put on my smart goggles and save scummed until I could bring down both Pulverizer and Bull's Eye in the first round with an aimed shot. But then... to my disappointment I just got Brutalizer/Brutalette. Sadness. That does fulfill the requirements since Pulverizer has 530 hp, but according to the wiki, the one-shot kill should override that. What am I doing wrong?

with an aimed shot.
There's your problem.

"Snipe down a full health enemy" means you have to use the Snipe ability. You also have to enter stealth without breaking the line of sight because that's the requirement for the Apparition nickname and it has a higher priority.

Ah, thank you. This is trickier than I thought.

edit: By the way, I am curious, when the wiki says "Snipe down a full health enemy", does it literally mean any enemy in the Arena? Killing a burrower spawn with a single sniping attack doesn't seem like much of an accomplishment.

I did manage to get the desired result. Also, judging from your username you are a fellow Finnish person. Hello!

I feel like Crosshair should have higher priority than Apparition. It's not very intuitive to enter stealth to use Snipe without breaking the line of sight first.

I just came back from the wiki topic about Arena.

I'm so disappointed ! I thought the nickname was calculated with character's name, cause my Lina was named "Cripplina" :o
