Would be interested to know what sort of points/hour one should expect in the Mayhem event?
Also does the point chance for looting pumpkins (points) differ depending on the level your enter?
I have done around 7 hours total in mayhem, and only got around 550 points.
Now i'm not going for the event to try to win, all i do is enter, shoot mobs until the 35min mark and then go kill the pumpkin and then the cannibal and exit, mainly doing this to get strongboxes (plus skill rewards) as i'm not wanting to pay the stupid prices people are trying to sell these for (averaging around 4-5 strongboxes per run).
But I am curious as to what people should be expecting points wise, considering you are allowed a maximum of 40hrs for the event. Looking at the bonus rewards, you need to reach 5000 points to get a 50 PED reward....at my current rate, getting that is going to be unlikely.....should they perhaps make that reward threshold lower to entice more people to do the event?
Something else i noticed as well, I did level 1 for the first 2 runs, barely got any pumpkins while hunting and would get one from the big pumpkin and 1 from the cannibal, found i was killing the creatures to easily so decided to step up to level 2. Instantly i noticed i was getting a lot more drops of pumpkins, mainly 1 point but also some 5/10 and 20 point ones on the zombie dogs and mutants. Not to mention that the big pumpkin had a chance of giving two pumpkins as loot and the cannibal seems to have a guarantee of 2 pumpkins sometimes 3 as loot (prob because you give up 2 rotten pumpkins to the box).
So does that mean, going up to level 3, i would expect more pumpkin drops (or more higher points) from normal mobs and then the big pumpkin to drop 2, maybe 3 and cannibal to drop 3 maybe 4?
And again for level 4 and 5 does this all increase as well?
If so, then it seems there would be no chance for anyone who doesn't do Level 4 or 5 to compete in this event to get in the top 15, unless of course they were lucky enough to loot a few 5K point pumpkins.
