Yes you do if you go with commando suit + sidearms. Hit the cap twice as fast that way.  |

Yes you do if you go with commando suit + sidearms. Hit the cap twice as fast that way. Edit: Kills made inside a vehicle will not count for this event. So 750 kills with sidearms in any auit to cap, correct?
750 kills with sidearms in any suit except commando. With commando suit + sidearm you can hit the cap in 375 kills and if you can't get 375 kills in 2 weeks, you should play more DUST! |

Not for this event, but there will be more events coming later that will allow you to take advantage of the boosters. |

Of course, the nova knives are counted as sidearms. |

Of course, the nova knives are counted as sidearms. he mean, you are carrying a sidearm, but you perform a melee attack instead of fire the sidearm. that's you "knock" down your enemy with your pistol. would it count?
Thanks for the clarification. If a kill is made with a melee attack, the logs will only show the dropsuit used and not the weapon. So, if you made a melee kill (with a sidearm) in a commando suit that would count for the commando contingency event, but not the sidearm showdown event.
We will update the event info with this and ask the dev team to track melee kills by weapon type in the future. |

Also, good news everyone!
To help everyone get the ball rolling, we're going to be giving anyone that has been playing in the last month 5 copies of each Standard 'Neo' Commando dropsuit. These dropsuits require no skills to use, so there's no excuse for not using them to rack up some kills during the event!

We are keeping track of your kills and we will give the rewards out after the event has concluded. |
