The Berserker Blitz is a fighting event exclusive to traditional fighting. This wouldn’t be so bad if there wasn’t an Arena event also in progress (not to mention the Family Business Mission and another Boss Fight in Mexico). Players will have to make decisions on how to spend their stamina. The rewards are limited in quantity for the entire player base so I guess the goal is to get them before your rivals do. The most hilarious aspect of this event is the Burnout Meter. It shows Zynga doesn’t want all the script users to get these items but it’s funny that events that exclude the Arena are very far and in between and this one puts players in time outs. Personally I’ll probably ignore the event and get what I get from any fighting I would normally do. I really don’t care about loot anymore but it could have been fun if there weren’t so many other things going on. It will be interesting to see how fast the rewards are exhausted. The FAQ is shown below. We will make a follow up post with strategies once they are formulated.

Q: What is the Burnout Meter? How does it affect Berserk Badges?

I avoid a few of the MW events, such as this one. Being the rewards simply are not worth the time, nor the effort! I do most events, but some such as this one... not worthy of my time!

ReplyDeleteOne of the worse events ever. Spending tons of stamina to get 5 badges and the event starts on the weekend ok Friday yesterday so many can not play often and will not be able to earn enough badges to redeem a good item and not those that worth nothing.
