I was at one point 1-5 on a few maps but then they changed some things and we can get up to 6-7 million on a map. People had 8-10 million and now I am seeing 13 million plus. I am just curious on how these scores are obtained. I would like to compete for them a little more but there is something that my team is now missing.

Itās from a while ago, where you could duplicated power before placing the fabricator at the start. And literally have unlimited power.
I remember people doing that. But since those fixes and updates people are still getting these scores. I just donāt understand. We do the recycling of power from fortifications and grenade plants for more power. I donāt know what else makes up the 2-5 million difference.
I was doing high score runs before the rise of the horde update (i.e. before incon difficulty level), and we managed to his 7 million points , which at the time was the highest score on the boards:
No energy exploits , just brawler scouts who punched pretty much every enemy to death. And we recycled the energy by building fortifications which got destroyed. This was a good runā¦
Then came the bug of scout doubling energy with every pickup, so two scounts, dying in turn and picking up the otherās energy meant exponential energy growth - and the score is related to energy being deposited too, so if you build up few million in energy you can quickly get a huge score by depositing it. I didnāt do that for any score, but I did a few games like that to help people get their classes to level 10s.
Then came the āexploitā of repeatably failing a waveā¦ Get to wave 9, and just keep failing it, leaving the energy on the field for the scout to pick up, over and overā¦ This was really sad and that marked the end of my high score runs - there is a 6h limit on a Horde gameā¦ Weād play it to the limitā¦ So spend 4h on wave 9, collecting the energy over and over, then when we were ready, deposit it and play the rest of the waves to 50.
There were also situations where recycling energy wasnāt quick enough with the enemies destroying fortifications so there was a way for US to destroy our own fortifications, for the scout to collect the energy, re-deposit (for points) and then re-build the fortification, over and over. An Engineer constantly building, 2 shotgun scouts constantly destroying, and the other two keeping the enemies busy and away from the baseā¦
This was like 2 years ago, and writing it just now I cannot believe I was so into it, hahaā¦ I just liked the people I was playing with. The game play itself was patheticā¦
I have no idea what new/recent āexploitsā there might be, to generate a high score. With browler scouts you can probably get close to 10 million on incon without any special exploits. But fortifications donāt drop full energy now, they drop less, so I donāt know how that would effect the score.
I much prefer versus now, even with its lag and rank based frustrations
