Skyfront Skirmish: Both Hands on the Gun
April 27th 8 PM UTC until April 30th 5 AM UTC
Hey, we get it, the Locust minigun is hard to handle. That’s why we’ve added a prompt in the game that makes it loud and clear – for best results, grab the Locust with both hands!
In single-hand mode, firing the Locust results in some serious wrist-breaking recoil. And the aim isn’t all that. When you grab the top handle with your other hand, the recoil all but disappears and your aim is spot on and deadly! Practice makes perfect! And the guy or gal with the best aim will take home the prize!
Date and Time
Skyfront Skirmish: Both Hands on the Gun will begin Friday April 27th at 8 PM UTC and end Monday April 30th at 5 AM UTC.
Prizes
First place – $ 50 Steam gift card
Second place – $ 25 Steam gift card
Third place – $ 10 Steam gift card
Rules
- Players will compete for the most kills with the Locust minigun during a single Deathmatch game.
- Your death count will not affect your chance of winning – we are only looking at your kills with the Locust minigun.
- A player’s high score with the Locust minigun will be registered at the end of the game or when the player exits the game.
- You may use other weapons and special abilities, but only the kills you make using the Locust minigun will be counted towards your high score.
- Players are forbidden from teaming up and assisting each other or using bugs or glitches with the intention of getting a better high score.
- Abusive behaviour will not be tolerated in-game, especially in VOIP – keep it friendly!
- The high scores will be counted for games with a minimum of 3 players at the start of the game. NOTE! If the game starts with three players and two players leave before the end of the game, the high score of the last remaining player will be locked the moment the second to last player leaves the game.
- The winners are the players with the top three highest scores at the end of the Skirmish.
- Arcade accounts are excluded from the Skirmishes (see Important Notes below).
- Prizes will be awarded at the end of the Skirmish.
- Skyfront will attempt to contact the winners of the Skirmishes, but to guarantee that you get your due prize asap, please contact the devs on Skyfront’s social media or Discord channel.
Important Notes
High scores from arcades will not be included in the Skirmishes. Separate events will be organised for arcades. That being said, arcade players are still more than welcome to join in on the Skirmishes, but their scores will not be counted towards anything.
All Skyfront Skirmishes will be moderated to ensure no one is cheating or breaking any rules.
Skyfront Skirmish – Overview
Skyfront Skirmishes are weekend challenges that Skyfront organises every couple of weeks. During each Skirmish, players will compete for a certain high score (e.g. most kills, best multikill, killstreak, most kills with a certain weapon, etc.) that will be announced the week of the event. Play time is limited to the duration of the Skirmish and all weapons and special abilities are allowed, unless stated otherwise (e.g. if the Skirmish is devoted to a specific weapon).
Each future Skyfront Skirmish and the prizes of future Skirmishes will be announced separately.
