[Zahzi 3030]

Hold Out Event

Event Description

The APD can pick any location to defend except police HQ's or federal event areas. They will have 25 minutes to hold this area (to win) and are allowed to use every cop slot on the server (20 players). The APD can use anything available at their rank BESIDES GHOST HAWKS, ARMED HURONS AND ARMED PLANES.

If a group/gang wipes the cops in the zone, a 20 minute timer will begin. The group must hold the point for 20 minutes to win.  If control of the cap is lost, progress will be saved but with a 5 minute penalty.

Will apd be eligible for raffle rewards?

How exactly does apd win, or is apd more of a distraction and further disruption of fights between gangs/civ?

Are apd liable for the kits used? More over, will they be be required to pay for their kits.

^If this isn't the case, APD won't choose cartels or warzone, because they have to pay for kits.

 

[Monks 1662]

Actually @Zahzi when you say APD is choosing the location I'm guessing you mean sAPD right? If not how is the choosing going down?

APD won't pay for kits if they go warzone, so don't expect the fight to be in warzone

I'm sure some code changes from our wonderful dev's can change that.

If they hold for 25m

They spawn with their gear, but if they chose warzone they would have the warzone gear penalty.

The APD will choose a location at the beginning of the event. It's up to the online APD members to figure out how they want to do that.

There won't be a hotfix before this event, so that won't be an option.
