Less than re-up 20? That’ll get you kicked in some of the lobbies I’m seeing. The requirements have gone up, actually. Lately, I’m seeing people ask for re-up 25+. I play often too but I’m barely re-up 21, so even I get kicked for low re-up sometimes too.

WIll snowball fight be around until january 4th too. I am assuming it is wouldn’t make sense for another event during this time of the year.
I was never kicked. I haven’t played a 50 waves Master Horde since the beginning of the Operation though. But I still see the usual “17+ character” lobbies.
Just play 3 matches of Jingle Juvies on Beginner. That way, you don’t have to worry about winning the VS event.

Yeah, that’s done… now I can’t wait for the rage hate towards me when I go for my 30 eliminations. 
I’m quitting that mode the second I hit 30 elims, even if I’m very close to winning the match. Hate it.

Super pissed that Krampus is in the store now. Grinding for him last year in a broken mess of a game in a mode I hate was probably the worst experience of my life. Now he’s available to everyone?
I might not even make 30 elims. Could just wait for next year for the skin for coins. Everyone is just going to camp on corners in spawn and it will be soooooo much fun. Can’t wait to try it tomorrow

Yes.
Can you run stacks on these event modes? Figured if I have friends to play with it’ll make getting the eliminations easier.
I care more about character level than re-up level. You could be re-up 30 and have the nerve to come into a Master lobby with a level 3 Protector.

Pretty sure it’s normal XP not Class… but good luck regardless
I figured it was gonna happen this week after the Nutcracker last week.
See lol
Dana says it’s also for classes.

It’s probably gonna be the usual CXP, but it would be a pleasant suprise if it was 4x for once.

Ah nice
Not 100% clear if the CXP will be 4 or 2 x though. Sounds to me like it’s the normal amount you get with boost.
Isn’t boost always doubling CXP anyway?
Yes, but TC makes it sound like there will also be a separate 2x XP boost on top of what we get from the Boost bought with Iron. The uncertainty seems to be if it applies to only Reup XP or both it and class XP.
Nah. I thought I was making progress towards basic medal group all this time. Since launch. Think I’m at like 5k elims. I thought Elims were synonymous with Assists all this time because iirc you could complete bounties in Gears 4 by simply spotting and it would count. Even actual elims is very spotty in 5. Sometimes it doesn’t count. I think you have to contribute a huge percentage of damage towards a kill for it to count as an elimination. My rule of thumb is to assume that unless you get points on the killfeed when an enemy/opponent is killed, (the ones on the kill feed not the gold match point ones on the top right of the hud), assume it didn’t count towards a medal, even if the “You got an elimination” thing shows up.
I’ve been trying to test it. You can get that notifier to pop without the killfeed showing you getting any points. I took note of the elim medal tracker before a match, and purposely just tried to play support, just cause damage and not actually kill anyone, that’s how I noticed it. Maybe one or two actually counted. I don’t believe it’s intentional.
