Round 6

The Longest Money Shot Chain

Character: Sal
Map: Dragon Keep
Game difficulty: ANY

For this challenge we gonna use The Butcher in Dragon Keep Map. On top of map where you fight Handsome Sorcerer, there are 4 ammo shrines. You’ll need to have Leg. Hoarder euqipped. Activate the ammo shrine and try to get as much Money Shot chains as possible. But not in Gunzerk mode, outside of it. Leg. Hoarder combined wih ammo shrine reg will allow you to do Money Shot chains outside of Gunzerking.

General Rules same as before, which is :

  1. No Badass Rank(BAR) so we can make it fair.
  2. No exploits or glitches e.g. weapon merging.
  3. Voice and game sound must be hearable - this is to avoid cheating by using 3rd party stuff to reduce game speed for example. You can still add some music if you want to your run but all other sounds from game must be hearable.
  4. No Unoffical Community Patch and/or other 3rd party softwares.
  5. You can upload your run anywhere you want as long as its watchable and everybody has access to it.
  6. All gear and spec + No BAR must be shown at end or begining of the run.

Run rules :

  1. The Butcher can be any level, any prefix, any element etc. - it has to be The Butcher.
  2. Counter starts with 1st Money Shot and ends when you reload the gun.
  3. If The Butcher or “5 shots or 6” skill will add more ammo to clip then chain is still counting, but only Money Shots in it. Regular shots are not counted to chain, even if they are between Money Shots.

General Punctation same as before :

1st place - 100 points
2nd - 50 points
3rd - 40 points
4th - 30 points
places from 5th and below - 20 points

Run punctation :

10 chains - 100 points, additional 10 points for each next Money Shot
9 chains - 90 points
8 chains - 80 points
…
1 chain - 10 points

As before post your runs here. The deadline also will be different cuz new year is coming, so I think 05/01/2018 should be ok :slight_smile:

Good Luck and Happy New Year!

Question on "Sub-Sequence" skill
#2

Soooo…how do I/we count these money shots?:thinking:

Edit: You can slow the vid down on YouTube 1/4 of the speed. It revealed 19 money shots.

I also get 19, but I did it by slowing to 0.5 speed and counting the pops rather than the flashes. I couldn’t make any sense of the video at 0.25

I used VLC player then put playback speed to 0.4 or 0.5 and based the count on the sound/pops

If striker already got 26 chains, i feel the scoring system may need an update
20 chains= 100 points
Every chain below that takes off 5 points and every chain above 20 adds 5

this took longer (and a lot harder) than i expected tbh. Getting more than 15 chains takes a while already. RNG XD
I like your point system though! will wait for the responses of others

I’ve got two more that I just can’t get a good reading on:


I’ve tried slowing them down on YouTube but still can’t calculate.

I’m not going to upload anymore unless it’s a crazy (off the) chain.

Edit:

1st one: 29
2nd one: 30

If anyone wants to verify, please do.

Ok so I see there are some problems with how to count it. I came with solution. Striker’s video will be example, cuz atm its most hearable for me. What I do is slow video to 0.5 speed, open notepad, don’t look on screen and every time when I hear Money Shot I press 1. Then I count all “1”. I’ve done this 3 times in a row just to make sure I haven’t miscalculated. And according to my counting Striker has 28 Money Shots in Chains.

You can’t go by the flashes and you can’t possibly count it at normal speed. This can only be done at slowed speed. The best way is through VLC Player where you can adjust the speed and still hear the pops. It’s therefore tough for us to verify by watching it on YT and can at best slow it to 0.5

Luckily we’re all friends here and trust each other to be accurate.

I was starting to wonder if I was broken but I finally got a decent chain : 25.

I’ll keep at it. I wonder if fire rate has any effect?

Other than giving bew a big challenge to count the chains, I don’t think it affects anything XD

I’m pretty sure it is just luck of the draw from RNG.

I added a 1/4 speed at the end which seemed to work for me for counting. I counted 27 but I’m not certain
