I'll be honest with you this whole 'Destroy 25 Installations' challenge is totally stupid.

Swarm Launchers cannot lock onto neutral installations.
Forge Guns imply that you cannot use equipment (thereby, replenish ammo).
Installations regenerate HP.
Any idiot blue dot can walk up and steal the hack.
Packed RE's do absolutely nothing.

So essentially your only viable options for destroying installations are Tanks, Plasma Cannons and vanilla RE's.... Which is hilarious because x4 Boundless Remote Explosives don't do enough HP to kill Installations, so you're pretty much obligated to run RE's -with- a Plasma Cannon.

But then you have the conundrum of -restocking those RE's and Plasma Cannon rounds- which insinuates the use of Nanohives. Meaning that you -HAVE- to use either a Scout or a Logi.

This isn't even taking into account that some maps only have two turrets, so unless you want to spend fifteen minutes ticking away at a Supply Depot or CRU you might as well just leave the match.

I'm not skilled into tanks at all except for basic armor hardeners but that's all I used with a large railgun. Took me a day and a half. And the best part.....it was all from salvage

10% of US schools no longer teach Cursive. A decade from now, 10% of the US isn't going to understand all the squiglies.

Packed RE's -WILL NOT- do anything to Installations. So, try to refrain from using them if you're trying to get the (hilarious) 25 Installation kills for this event, it's just a wasted equipment slot. 10% of US schools no longer teach Cursive.

And the best part.....it was all from salvage -Shrug- I dunno, I think it is dumb that the options for it are so limited. Would have been a lot different if it was 'Hack 25 Installations'. Anyone could do that just through normal gameplay. This? You have to actually focus solely on destroying them and using methods that might be outside your normal gameplay. 10% of US schools no longer teach Cursive.
