Update added video of Rage Harvest in Escalation, wouldn’t recommend it, read below in tips for why.
For this event shoot enemies to gain the rage damage buildup shown in small meter on your UI above current armor. Once the rage bar is full you are doing maximum increased damaged, it stays full for a few seconds then begins to deplete when not hitting enemies. The enemies with the +Overheal icon above them have buffs and are more dangerous with larger health pools. When you are at max rage your damage is very good, when using a Pestilence at max rage it clears full control points quickly.
Opinion 6/10, it’s ok but other events are better.
Tips:
- Start by shooting normal enemies without the +Overheal icon to build up rage, then once you are buffed some/max kill the +Overheal. That would be the more efficient order, in some instances if you don’t kill the +Overheal enemies they can easily reheal back to full quickly. Now imagine a few Heavy Gunners and Chungas with +Overheal, it can get crazy at times.
- If using the “Fog of War” global directive the +Overheal icons make it easier to spot enemies.
- If you have a high damage build you can easily just blast through everything like normal was my experience.
- You must enable this event to be apart of it, turning it on disables the Y8S2 seasonal modifiers and munitions.
- Turn on directives for more XP to farm the stars and buy more caches, this is like most events. More xp helps you level up faster and each level gives you a star.
- If you are doing this with a lower damage or survival build following the order shown in first tip is important. The enemies do feel more aggressive.
- I highly recommend not turning on this mode in Escalations especially if using matchmaking. It will increase the difficulty and if your team is weak the high armor enemies will be a problem. This happened in a group I was in, had a random build on was testing so it was weaker. So to get this heavy gunner down nobody could kill for like 5 minutes I equipped Scorpio shotgun and he finally went down. Got that on my stream tonight got to clip it.
