This is going to be old news to the vast majority of players, but just in case there's some newbros unsure as to how to maximize WP and therefore maximize the benefit of the triple SP event as quickly as possible, I thought I'd post some tips.

0. Play ambush always, it's much more efficient.
1. Uplink spam, do it shamelessly but intelligently. More people will spawn on a better-placed uplink.
2. Squad up and grab a scanner for +15 WP intel assists
3. If you can, get K17/D or other triage hives, those +25 or +50 triage points are great and so easy to get with a well-placed nanohive. K17/D hives also give more resupply points, due to their slower resupply rate.
4. When moving with your team, especially if you've ended up on the protostomping side, make an effort to tag as many enemies as possible for the +25 kill assist, rather than going for focused-fire kills. Sleek locus grenades are also good for this. (this is usually not good strategy, but the cap this week is insane, so shamelessly exploiting the WP system is A-OK in my book)
5. If you're in ambush OMS, grab a MLT forge and blast a few installations for an easy +100 WP.

Doing this, I can farm 750-1k WP in the vast majority of ambush matches, and over 1k easily in ambush OMS. This is also the fastest way to gain SP after the cap, though that's pretty meaningless this week.

Don't forget that an MLT Heavy Damage Mod on the forge will let you threeshot the turrets, avoiding that long reload!

True, but so few players read the forums and such a small percentage of those who do haven't figured this out already. I don't think it will become a problem.
