EDIT: omfg you guys are getting way faster submissions than I anticipated!
EDIT2: PLEASE LEAVE THE VIDEO LINKS WORKING. I will make a highlight reel or collection post later.
Welcome to the first, and maybe last competition I hold here in awhile.
I'd like to preface this with saying that I really really would like the spirit to remain good. I know it is a challenge, and I most certainly would not be capable of succeeding in it. However, I strongly believe we do have people capable of doing it.
Ten first videos win.
These keys will be provided by BSG, I'm in contact with them about this.
The rules are relatively simple:
- Valid in Escape from Tarkov PvE or PvP.
- The target must be a Boss or a Goon.
- The killing blow must be with a melee weapon.
- Any Tarkov melee weapon is allowed.
- The full video must be uploaded to a reputable video hosting platform (e.g. YouTube, Twitch VOD, Medal, Streamable).
- The video must include at least 30 seconds of uninterrupted footage before and 30 seconds after the melee kill. If you die, we don't have to stare at your death screen though.
- No cuts or edits during this period.
- Help from teammates/partners is allowed, but the final killing blow must be melee. If your teammates shoot, you must show melee kill log death screen.
-No Poison Green flare. The boss behaviour should look natural. This will be judged by us mods.
Reward: 10× Unheard Edition keys, one per video.
The video MUST be a top-level comment in this thread. Please state your username in the comment since your gamertag likely isn't your reddit acco, and have it hosted with your account. Please ensure it is a fresh video as well just in case some crazy lad did this a long time ago.
Once we have clearly established your attempt as valid, we shall contact you via the DM on the account that posted the attempt. When we do so, establish good care to make sure it is actually my nickname and not someone trying to scam you please. If you are in doubt, you can modmail us back, but by just clicking the sender's profile you should be able to correlate it to me.
Rules lawyer at your own peril. The rules above are pretty clear in what my intent is, and if you make some sort of game breaking gimmick or something that my rules don't cover, I probably won't view it as valid. There's no appeal authority here, it's just me. I'll give you a fair shot, I just want your shot to be fair as well!
If you do have a valid attempt, post the video into the subreddit as your own post too once we confirm you as winner for that karma.
