February 21st Playlist Update - Hordepoint: Mimic Mania, Meat 24/7, & Best of '09
Sledgehammer (Sledgehammer Replied)3 games in only 1 skull counted on hordepoint mimic
We've just deployed an update to increase the drop rate of Mimic Skulls, give it another go!
Why a “drop rate” though, kinda counterintuitive when previous 2 special zombies in the event were one kill = one skull dropped for your team to pick up, simple and straightforward
Make it a guarantee spawn and cut down on the mimics' health so you can actually kill them without needing a paped gun.
Don’t abandon zombies (thank you for fixing the Outbroken skin for Scorch).
Did they actually? Can someone confirm? Haven’t played with mine since then cuz of the glitch.
I use it a lot now. You can now skydive and drive in cars without it being permanently reset. I first saw someone else using it and realized they were sitting in a car with the big crystals and aether effects.
It doesn’t reset the kill effect when entering vehicles, but going in third person sometimes shows the operator’s default model still
Even with the drop rate increased I’m barely getting 2 a game.
The first 3 Horde event challenges were able to be obtained in Warzone but not the last, why?
I'm wondering same thing
Bro it’s a zombies themed season Warzone doesn’t deserve literally everything.
Dude then why have the bones and stuff in warzone
10 games, only 5 skulls, this is insane, I'll never get 200
can you give us this stock for the mcw please 🙏🏼
I'm at 1/200 too. Killed a bunch of mimics. Not seeing any skulls dropping when killing them. Not counting when I kill them. I think it's bugged.
3 games, I've only got 2. Also the mimics are SUPER tanky, like they programmed them with Tier 2 health, it takes real effort to kill them. Even if they DID drop skulls every time, this is gonna be GRINDY AF.
they’re not if you have packed gun but if not they definitely are tanky. i mean i expect them to be tanky but not almost 200 rounds tanky & shottibf them in the mouth isn’t easy lol
Yeah, but you can't HAVE a packed gun in MP. The guns that drop from the zombies are just shiny, not packed AFAIK.
pretty sure they’re packed
Only for the zombies I'm assuming, correct?
Fucking dumb as hell, including PaP, but not allowing us to pack our own weapons, seeing as how their builds are selected by monkeys throwing darts at a board.
Meat 24/7, New Map 24/7, a Small-Med 09 rotator AND Small Map Mosh availability?
Wish they'd swap the new maps more often but overall lookin' like a good week.
I still really wish we would get 24/7 playlists for the medium to large sized maps with the blitz treatment. Whether it’s 14v14 wastelands 24/7, vista 10v10 24/7, etc. that would be pretty sick. Or just change up the 10v10 moshpit to 12v12 or what have you every once in a while.
Oh hard agree on those points. In my ideal world there's 3 weekly rotating 24/7 playlists. 1 small 6v6, med-large 10v10, and one of the new maps with the med-large having a 10v10 available at some point in the season.
Streamlining gameplay for larger-scale games is sorely needed. There's obvious interest for the modes, but they seem slow to iterate on em.
200 mimic skulls is a fucking insane ask
They don't even drop properly
Has anyone tried going to, I don’t know, an infested stronghold.
3 games 15 skulls… here we go.
Yes. The skulls are not a guranteed drop, they rarely drop from mimics. Best way to get them is the mimic mania game mode. When I made my comment they were an even rarer drop that was so bad that they had to update the game and make them drop more frequently
They’ve never been a guaranteed drop, but according to other comments the mimics are stupidly powerful in Mimic Mania so you’d still be better off grinding strongholds.
Mimic skulls not dropping in Hordepoint?
The Haymaker aftermarket part is INSANE, enjoy before the nerf lmao I'm whoring this thing out for all its worth
How is it different?
I thought it was just a 50 round drum?
The fire rate goes up 43%, hipfire and tac stance go up 40%, max damage range goes up 65%. Recoil also drops across the board
Holy shit, looks like I’m leveling up the haymaker tonight.
Mimics aren’t dropping skulls. Event broken. lol what a surprise
Update! I got three to drop. After killing about 16 mimics…
💀
Crazy we got Meat 24/7 instead of Vista 24/7.
Vista is such a great map too, great in 10v10
I wish we could get vista 10v10 24:7. I almost got 80 kills on that bad boy in hardpoint 10v10 and I didn’t even have a decent setup at the time, was trying out something different. I want redemption now but every other time I get it in 10v10 it’s KC or TDM
It's such a great map, feels like a classic map from the golden age
killing tons of mimics its not counting /u/SledgehammerGames
I've gotten 2800 zombie bones before I've gotten 30 mimics. IN MULTIPLAYER.
i thought i was crazy. thankfully it’s not just me
Can confirm, 4 games in, 0/200.
4 games and only 1 skull out of 200 on mimic hordepoint.
The Mimics will take so long to complete until they fix the skull count. Hubby and I finished the zombie skull one within a couple of hours, it was easy to get 200 skulls. Now.. not so much. 4 games in and my mimic skull count is at 18.🤦🏻♀️🙄
Just played a game of Horde Hunt Mimic Mania. When you kill a mimic do they drop something you need to collect? I've killed quite a few but have not seen anything drop. So far my count is only 1/200. I think something might be bugged with it at the moment.
I really hoped we would get Vista 24/7
since core MP doesn’t drop skulls, does it work if you find skulls from chests in WZ?
You get a ton of everything from chests in WZ. Can be completed entirely there.
Meat 24/7 🙏🏼
Will we ever get a Vista 24/7? I’ve only had that map come up once since it released.
Skulls aren't counting! Just had a skull count showing 48 on the game, but only 9 skulls counted on my Mimic total. 🤦🏻♀️ This will take forever!
They are it’s just mimic skulls drop less compared to wolf and armored skull. That’s why it’s showing up as a 48 because you’re picking up armored and wolf I don’t know why they didn’t just separate it to see how many armored skulls mimic skull and wolf skulls you are collecting.
Can’t find mimic skulls in warzone? What’s up with that. I can’t imagine the drop rate in multiplayer before the update. Getting 2-3 mimics a game will take forever to get to 200. I’m already bored of the mode
I am not sure what the mimics are supposed to drop. I have played 2 games and only gotten 4 of the things. I killed more mimics and walked over their bodies, but I don't see any skull or something. Seems like it's going to be a long grind this week.
edit: they seem to have patched it a bit. I got 6 in two consecutive games, and you can now actually see the bones they drop. Still 6 per game seems a bit too much of a grind.
edit 2: got 14 in last game. It's definitely patched. I'm not sure how it works, because I don't even think I picked up 14 bones. Maybe they count for more than 1, or team mates count too.
or team mates count too.
This is how the whole event has worked.
Wait what really? Then I feel like I get very unlucky with some of my teammates haha. But thanks :)
Best of ‘09 is awesome, whole reason I bought this game!
What’s in this playlist? I came here to find out but instead saw 40 comments about mimic skulls not tracking 🙄
It's Favela, Rust, Scrapyard, Terminal, Skidrow, and Highrise in one playlist
Replace highrise with Afghan and it’d be perfect! Highrise is trash!
Afghan over highrise is crazy, now I know who’s been in my lobbies voting for that shit
Afghan is goat map! Way better than shitrise
Still no cyber attack or prisoner rescue? Fantastic.
u/SledgehammerGames the mimics aren’t counting !
I'm still working on these six FUCKING hundred armored skulls.
Jesus this is a lot and I just barely got to 200 yesterday.
Yeah, I gave up on this event, lol. That skin isn't too bad, but I just don't have the time to play enough to get that many armored skulls.
Where is Dome?
In the 09 playlist? Dome was in the original MW3, not MW2
Dome was in the new MW2 as well, it was part of the Zaya Observatory
In regular rotation
Fix for the Hans Zimmer Score not working in MP matches?
Any news on whether cutthroat has returned?
We're so back. 👍
🔥🔥🔥
Still sucks, 90% of the mimic kills I get drops a weapon.

4mo
It's back up and fixed.
Collected 17 skulls in zombies and it gave me 9. Do we get half?
And the people here were all "activision is literally Hitler they disabled the anti-cheat" here over a fucking rumor, lmfao
Hordepoint is a huge W. Hope this mode comes back again. It's a lot of fun and a great way to do an event.
I wish Favela wasn't in the Best of '09 map list.
Right? Favela was a terrible map back then and still is.
It was one of the best maps from ‘09 though
I didn't like it back then either. I didn't even like that story mission in OG MW2 that took place in Favela.
RUST SUCKS! I'd play Best of '09 all day long if that shit wasn't in it.
You're just bad
Anyone care to check whether the gunfight loadouts got an update?
They have fixed the event. 10 a game roughly. :(
I got 6 skulls in one game now
Can we get a new season maps only mode and remove shipment from small moshpit
Any weapon balancing changes?
Modes that no one wants or cares about. When you can't even add a popular mode like Cyber Attack.. So poor but I expect nothing less from second rate devs...
Bring back Team Gunfight
Question. In hordepoint, is it the team total of mimic skulls that is counted toward the event? So if I pick up a mimic skull it won't just count for me but for all my teammates?
Yep it works just like that. If your teammate picks up a skull counts for you too. I don’t think it did during the beginning or I just didn’t notice it until we start getting the Hellhound skulls
I cant find any in warzone and don't got new mw game
Dumb question, but do the drops apply to your whole team or just individual? Im referring to the actual event achievement, not the counter that shows on the left.
Only the ones you pick up count for this segment. Ignore the in-match counter. Hopefully they change this before the event ends.
Would great if we could hear an update on when cutthroat will be back in the playlists.
They’ve also done away with team collections counting toward event progress. You only get credit for the mimic skulls you “physically” pick up.
Meat 24/7!!! Easily my favorite.
Any suggestions on loadout/ gun setups for mimic mania
