So, contractor, you thought doing some rage kills in old sawmill was hard? Well, then you haven't met this contract yet.
Gold contract #7 will most likely be in your list unfinished for some time. Is it hard? yes, but it's doable. Mind you, this is the first contract that is very, very tempting to start farming, but don't.. I've got quite some footage of people farming this Glock contract. it's a hard contract but it's nothing to risk a ban for.
The Glock.
The Glock is a sweet pistol, and it has an amazing firing speed and omgwtflike mobility, however, it's damage is very low, so killing someone with a full clip can be done easily, but killing 2 people with one magazine is a challenge. So for this contract, it's head shot or fail time.
Also, the Glock is a premium gun, making this contract a very good way to loose your precious GP on. My advice, if you want to spend GP on the game, buy the Glock...if you don't, Do this contract only when you have a lot of time to play. Worst case scenario is that you spend 5+ hours to complete this contract.
How to make this contract a little more easy?, Credit players can only suffer through this, GP players should really consider renting the contract expert skill, as this will lower the count to 10 double kills. Renting the extra grenade can be helpful as well.
Maps.
To me there are 3 maps that are most suited for the job; Evac, Bay5 and Station. In Evac many spawns happen right in front of you. True, spawn killing isn't the most Honourable thing to do, but farming is a lot less Honourable. Bay 5 is good for a different tactic: toss a grenade, hope you kill someone and kill someone with the Glock. (for a double kill only the weapon that does the second kill counts) Station can be done by camping the roof, throwing a grenade into a spawn point and then shoot someone (and hope the grenade kills a freshly spawned player). Station sadly is only played on lower levels, you will find nearly no filled high level servers.
The best tip i can give you however : Equip only your Glock when you go into the game. When your KD drops, you might be tempted to switch to another gun, having only a Glock prevents this. Oh...and do head shots...nothing but head shots.
Another tip ; this is for the credit players : When you finish the contract, keep playing the Glock, and finish the Glock 200 head shots achievement. It's only a 7000cr reward, but it's probably your only chance on getting this achievement.
Well..no pretty camp spots and pictures for this post, you'll just have to endure this one.
Orgy out!
PS, got to admit, this is the first post on which i noticed a spell checker included in blogger, i hope you appreciate the decreased amount of typo's
( disclaimer : since my last topic on prokills, i've done a total of 42 pro's , i now know how to do them regularly but 42 still doesn't make me an expert on the matter! )
Despite many people calling the noveske a noobweapon i have to admit that it is my favorite gun. I got a Noveske, tasked, and i love it. Do you think i'm a noob for using it : Be my guest! I like it and i really disagree to the noobstatus of the gun. The stats on the noveske are good, but not even close to OP and even now that the ACR-C is getting more popular then the noveske...i still love it.
Funny thing is, i remember the first time when i encountered the noveske and from that point on i wanted one. The first time i got killed by a noveske was on bridge and i think i was level 10-20. Some guy had the tasked one and he was camping his spawnpoint but none of my (allso lowlevel) teammates was able to kill him. At some point i thought "imma gonna grab that gun of yours and stick it up your behind" and when the match ended i left the game and went looking for it on the webz.
The second i reached level 50, i bought it and it was not even a bonus, so badly i wanted one. Shortly thereafter i found out that the noveske wasn't actually a wonderweapon. Sure it's mobility and reloadspeed was amazing but i plainly sucked with it because i kept loosing visual on targets when using the collimator. Boy did i suck..
Now, my heart nearly stopped when i read about the 15 prokill wtask, how was i ever supposed to do that? and i gave up on the WTASK idea.... untill one day i was doing a great match with my P90Devgru on Evac. By that time i had gained a little more insight in the game and i was allready burstfiring the Gru. Suddenly during that match i managed to make a prokill, and after that match, i noticed the same people still hanging around, so i thought ; can i do this with the noveske as well? To my big suprise i did. Not only did i get a prokill on my noveske, i allso managed to do 2 prokills on the same day. For the first time in my carreer. That was the moment i thought : i'm going to task it!
It took me some time figuring out how to operate it correctly but when i did i succeeded more and more but still it took me quite a while and i have to admit : My first prokill in OhMy, was the last prokill needed for the WTASK. Since then i done some adjustments in the gunsmith tree and now i love it even more. In fact, if you see me using something other then the Noveske on EVAC, then you know that i'm finding much resistance and i'm finding alternative ways to improve my KDR.
Now recently Contractor "Tovarich" posted this request in the comments so i be happy to share some of my experiences with it :
"I'm not a bad player (lvl 59), I have a positive kdr (growing) but I am unable to do prokills with noveske :/
Could you give me some tips or tricks to try to get it? I love the noveske and I think greatly improve performance if I can do the noveske task. (Plz, forgive my bad english!)"
Do read my guide on prokills as well! But also realise that Doing a prokill with the noveske is no different then making a prokill with the M4a1..so when you think doing a prokill with a gun like the Noveske is easy, then your wrong.
#1 stats.
When attempting prokills with the noveske you want it to have stats like in the above picture. 98 Accuracy and 9 Recoil are a must. If you have lower accuracy or higher recoil, you will be wasting a lot of precious ammunition! Besides ACC and REC, you will have to unlock BOTH damage upgrades from the Assault tree and the 2x extra magazine skill from the destroyer tree. If your stats dont match the picture then you might want to browse THIS blog for my topic on a "good" skillbuild
#2 Sidearm.
The Noveskes ammo is limited. With the 2 bonus magazines Destroyer skill you get 7 mags. 7x30= 210 bullets. 210 bullets/20 kills = 10.5 bullets you can use per kill. 10.5 sounds like more then enough, but when playing, you will sometimes panic, you will miss, someone will steal your kill, so 10.5 per kill is not a whole lot. Therefor, sometimes you will have to use your sidearm as well. What Sidearm you choose is totally up to you, but you will have to choose the one that you can rely on to make kills. I prefer the GSH, but during my WTASK-sessions i switched to my glock18, because the glock needs prokills as well, and i tend to end up wit no ammo for my Noveske every now and then. So i when i screwed up my ammoconsumption i made some lucky prokills for my glock as well.
#3 Bursts.
When you want a tasked noveske, your days as a sprayer will have to end. 10.5 bullets per kill remember? So : No firestab for you!, control yourself, and take time to learn how to burst! This will take quite a toll on your KD ratio but from now on you will have to fire in bursts. Take time to practice killing people with as small bursts possible..
(HERE's a video showing when to burst, when to spam and when to use semi auto. I gotta admit, i don't use
semi auto, because i end up using the same amount or even more ammo then a burst to kill someone. Furthermore, try to make your burst count and do practice to do them as short as possible)
Another reason to burst is the fact that the noveske has no silencer (duhh) and is pretty noisy. Firing in small bursts will make you harder to find.
#4 Gold.
You can opt to rent some skills to make it less hard to do a prokill. You can rent additional DMG buffs and the "W-TASK expert" skill from the Carreerist tree is usefull too (when your allready familiar with doing prokills). I rented it at some point. Sadly, now i'm improving, i think i wasted money on that one because prokills come more easy now.
#5 Map's
I did my prokills on either Parkside or in EVAC. (OSM is a good option too but i dont know OSM like i do EVAC)
Doing prokills in parkside means 0-70 parkside, hoping you're among all level 0's and when theres high level players, you either make them ragequit or avoid them. (Sounds easier then it is, but you get used to it.) At all times; remember that you're here for prokills and not to get your ass kicked by people from topclans. When theres too much resistance..move to another server. Even if you get no prokills, you will recover from your KD drop from your bursting adventures in here pretty fast.
Doing Prokills in EVAC means 20-70 or 30-70 EVAC and hoping your team doesnt suck. In evac you will ignore the vips and your team. Is your team defending the paths to the chopper?...is the enemy trying to rush the stairs to the chopper?... good, you be standing near the garage, shooting them from behind. Your team are not your buddies, your team is an instrument which you use to gain an advantage. Flank the enemy and dont be where the action is. Your a wolf, dont run into the herd to snatch a sheep, stay on the outer edges of the map, scooping up stray sheep. (20-70 evac attracts a lot of high end gamers wanting to do some noobstomping...30-70 can often be more effective in getting prokills)
#6 Aiming
The collimator on the Noveske sucks, its way to small and its possible to loose visual on your target. In other words you can loose someone when looking at him. When you have stats like mentioned in #1, you will find that the crosshair of the Noveske is dead-accurate as well, so in theory you can forget about using the collimator. Personally i use the collimator only on near-stationary targets in longer ranges. So, you are camping the area with the chopper in evac and someone is camping the garage roof? if he's not covering behind the sandbags, the crosshair will do, but when he's crouching behind the sandbags and only the top of his head sticks out, then the collimator can be an option. Also : when firing allways press the shift (walk) key for extra accuracy.
#7 Clanskills
Having access to thermalvision or extra magazines, more armor and such can make your life a lot more easy, so if you have access to those, be thankful. That being said, i did only my last prokill needed to finish the task when i was in OhMy, the rest of the kills i did with only the +5 health clanskill. So clanskills; nice but not mandatory.
In conclusion:
If you want to task the noveske (or do prokills with any other gun), you need time to really study how you can improve, what are your strongpoints and weaknesses. It's not just a matter of loading a map and start doing prokills, it's about adjusting to the guns weaknesses in order to maximise your performance and you will notice that once you start getting prokills, they will happen more and more and take less effort.
Furthermore, prokills are a game within a game...think about it, when it's prokills your after, you will have to play the game different. When playing this little game; teams become tools, Vip's become beacons, and you will have to find ways to use and abuse players that are doing their regular thing.
Getting the noveske tasked will take time and is difficult at first but : If i can do it, so can you!
Orgy out!
Contractor!
One thing that is very obvious by now; the internet is full of greedy, demanding people.
Everytime Contract Wars is making a milestone and is throwing in gifts, the whole community is like "GIMME FREE GP...5000...1000...FREE GP..i nedd fre GPZzz for nveskeplz....GIMMEGIMME"
For these milestones, all you had to do is press the "like" button, that's it, 1 click and your done doing your part. Now, pressing the like button, is that something worth GP? Really?
Now lets take a look at the word "gift" in the dictionary : "something voluntarily transferred by one person to another without compensation" in other words, you get something thats initiated by the giving party... Odd thing is, no amount of GP will make people happy, while our dad's are the most happy people on earth when you give them their yearly set of birthday socks. Life lesson : be thankful for whatever it is you get!
This week, the milestone of 400k likes was reached, and the GP whining started for the Nth time, last time we got 50gp and i don't expect any gp gift higher then this to be given ever again.
Q: Why no (big) GP gifts? Is is because the devs are asses?
A: No, i really think that the devs wouldn't mind giving a couple of 100 gp for free. It's players who are the asses. For example; a 200gp gift. Most people would say "jeezguyse thnx for teh gp" ... but a smaller part of the community thinks " 1x new character=100gp, 100gp+200gp=300gp...100x new character=30000gp .. now lets start a new clan and make 100 new characters" ... well, stuff like this will happen .. Do you still think free GP is a good idea?
SP gifts would be nice as well, but the devs are allready working on redesigning SP that can be bought or gained via the now gone "skill specialist" skill. Purpose of this probably is to make sure every player, paying or not, should have access to the same SP pool, so skill cannot be bought. A SP gift now, would mean a disadvantage to players who start lateron, so i doubt you will ever be given SP. (perhaps 1...roulette wheel can do it as well)
Now what would be good gifts? (this is purely speculation from my own perspective.)
* Xp buff for a limited amount of time. (i hope to see more of these. Last christmas's double xp was sweet as hell)
* Free carreerist buff (well minus the profile blocking =) )
* Free Skillresets (optionally with 100% gp or even cr refund.)
* A new map. (Do gifts have to be something you can physically own or would any token of appreciation do?)
I dont think giving free weapons away is a good gift, one player gets a P90Devgru, and the other gets the pmm12. Don't get me wrong here, the pmm12 is a sweet little pistol but, you can imagine a lot of dissapointment.
Anyway, whatever it is, i'm thankful for it. The pm gift we received last time cracked me up so hard that i kept on lolling at all the dissapointed and angry comments...this was one of the best gifts EVER.
Orgy out.

Hello Contractor, besides the usual stuff, from now on i will post my 5cents about completing some contracts as well. I hope you enjoy.
Gold contract #3 to most people is the first real challenge because you will have to make longer killstreaks than your probably used to. This is the first contract that requires effort. Difficulty is that OSM-DM isn't the friendliest map, it's small and has very limited vision. For increasing your kd, i wouldn't reccomend to play osm-dm at all, but hey, contract #3 forces us in here so lets make the best out of it.
If you are an average player, then running and gunning on OSM-DM will not do because there's too many suprises awaiting you in the bushes. So what we need to do is: Camp. We got to find ourselves a pretty little spot that we can tactically use against everyone else and luckily there are quite some good spots to hide. In this miniguide i shall cover 2 good spots.
What do we need for OSM-DM? If you want to try the contract while running and gunning, i'd say bring the izh, but when you want to go and camp, we need something more stealthy. The mp5sd6 would be perfect, but i'm afraid that by now your mp5sd6 is allready expired so we got to find an alternative. We need it both silenced and accurate so imo, the right gun for this job would be the tasked KAC-PDW (assuming you only have 2 weapon tiers unlocked). I done this with my silenced AKMS.
Now there are several good places to camp, but to me theres 2 sweet spots where 1 is good and 2 is amazing.
The first spot, Camping behind the barn. The barn has 2 doors and 2 holes, one in the front and one in the back. Camping in outside the hole in the back can give you an edge as you will have many players incoming from the left. A good spot, but be aware, as you are camping outside, players can spawn inside (on top of the right hand stairs). The door to your left is rarely visited, because players will have to cross open terrain to get there, but some do, so be aware.

The other spot is outside the radar station. Theres a sweetspot where you can be partially covered by bushes, hard to find, i did my ragekills here EFFORTLESS. Big deal here is to be a stealthy as possible and then kill your enemy in just a small burst. Too much ratata and and you'll give your position away. Camp here, do 5 kills...move away, kill some more and die...but don't die nowhere near the campspot. Also, dont try to do a prokill here because people will catch on before your reach 15/20.
Hey guys..enjoy : orgy out!
Welcome back Contractor.
It's been some time, the clanrace is over and like i promised, i'm back. I'm working on new stuff for you to read but for now i'll like to keep it brief and fill you in on the events that happened over the past couple of weeks.
First of all, i got sick fighting a lost cause with my clan; 6six6. I had a clear goal in mind of gathering a group of skilled players who were dedicated in building the clan. Sadly all i got was level 1's or people with very bad KDR's. For every 3 people i invited, 1 was kicked for inactivity, 1 for unwillingness to donate and 1 left because we didn't have a lot of clanskills.
At that time i was trying to validate my own guide on "prokills", while tasking my noveske,v when an OhMy member noticed me and asked me about my stats. He mentioned that my stats were meeting the requirement to join OhMy so i thought...enough with pulling dead weight and i signed over 6six6 to a buddy of mine and Left.
I followed the OhMy recruitment procedure and was totally critical about my skills, absolutely honest about my intentions and as a result of this (i think) i was voted into the next part of OhMy's recruitment procedure, an interview and a tryout. I must say, i had a rought night before the tryout so i wasn't that fit so during the tryout i got my ass handed to me by NVR4GET bigtime. Despite of the asswhooping i received, i became an OhMy member and i'm liking it more and more...
So, first day in OhMy i finished my W-Task for my Noveske and the day after all hell breaks loose..Clanrace. Since i'm dedicated to any clan i have ever been in, i decided to give it all i got, especially since i now have access to the clanskills OhMy has to offer. Those skills have been earned by other people and not by me, so absolute dedication to the clanrace is my way of saying "appreciate the skills, let me return the favor!" in the end, i managed to donate roughly 1m xp to the clanrace.
Well, we all know Fear won, Figa came in second, and we finished third. third place imo is a good spot as we finished "close" to Figa and we got about 1200 members less. We managed to get within 10m range of Figa. Fear's score however is totally something else. They didn't get disqualified, so my opinion doesn't really matter but i do urge the CW crew to keep a close eye on them in the next clanrace. (that score + this history is imo very suspicious)
Well enough about clanchanges, clanraces and all.
Another fun thing happened to me. For a while now, i have an alternate facebook account that i use to post on facebook groups like contract wars players and contract wars clans. On contract wars clans i have been on a crusade to stop the number of hacks that are posted there and to my suprise suddenly i was made admin of that group.
So, with my newly found powers i cleaned up every hack/spam/scam thread and message, banned roughly 10 scammers and to my suprise:...drumroll...I got kicked as an admin. I banned the guy that hijacked TNI clan and this is my reward lol. Now i didn't ask to be promoted to admin, so i'm totally cool with not being an admin but what bothers me is that this group allows Scam to be posted in order to attract people. The Facebook group Contract Wars - Clans ^-^ is a stain on the CW community and i urge you NOT to subscribe to that group. (at least if you value your account, as the hacks posted are nothing more then elaborate ways to steal your account)
Well, thats it for the moment, like i said, i got multiple (unfinished) posts lined up for you. See you shortly!
