Unfortunately not, you need to make it on the ship yourself for the Legend win to count towards the challenge.If I am final ten legend but don't make it onto evac, but at least one person does... does that count as a Legendary win for me?
Quite interesting seeing the different experiences everyone is having. I played for a few hours of this last night on Xbone and the infected teams were always outnumbering the remaining legends by a really wide margin. In fact, I only saw Legends win three times in total and that was always with just one escaping. I imagine this changing a bit as the week goes on, as everyone starts to learn the pick-up points and begin hunkering down until the end.They've been all over every lobby I've been in, so when top 10 is like 8 characters like that someone's getting through. Maybe it'd be different if I actually saw 25 shadows vs.10 legends but it's never that.
i'd recommend running as Wraith and staying quiet near the edge of the circle for most of the game, until you know where the evac ship is landing. try to avoid conflict if you can as every kill shows up on everyone's screen. then just stay nearby holed up in a house somewhere until the ship has landed and then make a b-line for the point. when you're closeish use your ability to avoid getting hit by any of the shadows and land on the spot - even if you get knocked the moment you pop back into the real world you should automatically teleport onto the ship. that's how i got my first legend win anyway, planning on trying it out a few more times today.Seems like it's damn near impossible to win as a Legend, this is a bit tiresome...

Do you need to press a button to get on the ship or is it an automatic teleport to it? I'm gonna try to go for a Legend win today.
Well thanks for the tip because I tried Wraith just after reading your post, and got my first win immediately. I think I drove some shadows crazy with my back and forth with the portal at the end, huhuhu!

As much as I like the game I'll be forever disappointed by how it's monetized. Also what's the consensus on the event overall?
It's a fun mode, I really like the general aesthetics of a creepy kings canyon. Some of the skins are great too, the Gib skin in particular is fantastic despite what Bauer91 says 😜
Well I just had a massively shit round of Shadowfall because apparently people can just leave as zombies with no penalty, so you end up with 10 non-zombie players against something like 10 zombies, which isn't hard to deal with at all. Really hope they implement some kind of stacking time out on players that leave before the round is up.
Went back to regular mode, had 30 minutes before my "Get top 3 with Caustic" daily expired, so I did 'em dirty. Inspired by Delphine.
You had absolutely no right to survive that hahaha. Downed in the circle just as the ship arrived as well!
Winning as either a Legend or shadow in Shadowfall does not count as a win, while the matches played number does go up, RIP mine and everyone else's win ratio. Shadowfall was fun for a couple matches but it's already annoying, playing as a Shadow is not fun so it's very understandable why most started quitting two hours into the event. I'm actually going to pass on the last tier of a badge for the first time ever, where you need 25 Legend escapes and the ones you got before reaching second tier don't count, as I can't be bothered completely ruining my stats for a badge I wouldn't equip anyway.
Yep -_-So is the only way to get the ShadowFall crates is to buy them?
Yep -_-
You can also direct buy or craft the items, but the legendary crafting prices are jacked up.
You have a 50/50 chance to get either 1 event Legendary or one Event Epic. I don't have the game in front, so I can't say what that breaks down to for character skins vs weapon skins. I just know that I bought two packs and got two legendary weapon skins.that sucks, and whats the % of getting a character skin from one of those?
This is how i got my first win except replace Wraith with Octane. Just ratted out until ship was coming down and sprinted ini'd recommend running as Wraith and staying quiet near the edge of the circle for most of the game, until you know where the evac ship is landing. try to avoid conflict if you can as every kill shows up on everyone's screen. then just stay nearby holed up in a house somewhere until the ship has landed and then make a b-line for the point. when you're closeish use your ability to avoid getting hit by any of the shadows and land on the spot - even if you get knocked the moment you pop back into the real world you should automatically teleport onto the ship. that's how i got my first legend win anyway, planning on trying it out a few more times today.
First game in the new game mode.
Not a great experience. A shadow insta killed me from behind without making a sound....nothing.
Then I was a shadow and everytime I tried to get the drop on a guy he insta span round and blasted me.
Yeah....ok.

Edit: played a few more games. I hate it. Lost every game to being rushed and pathfinders always win by zipping to the evac.
Back to regular mode.
Only played one match in the new game mode. Became a shadow pretty quickly and found myself constantly killed.
The quitters really spoil the mode. And no pinging is a strange decision, especially for dropping and when you "team up" at the end.
Shadows won, but it wasnt fun. Hopefully it gets better, because it has potential.
