Just when we thought that we have seen everything in the Operation Riptide of CS:GO, it looks like we are going to have a great start of the new year since the Week 14: A Little Competition comes with something new from all operations I played in this game so far, but which you are going to find out more a little bit later.
Since we are talking about the 14/16 week being released, there's not too much until the beautiful dream of the operation will come to an end, and I can say that I know I will miss this feeling until a new operation will be released, so hopefully, there won't be too much till then.
Anyway, until we find out what surprises is working on Valve, let's take a closer look at each mission available in the Week 14: A Little Competition that comes with the reward of 9x stars if you complete all of the tasks:
- Competitive - Short Match - Ancient: being needed to win an entire match OR collect 21 winning rounds from more matches played [★★★]
- Guardian - County - Finish Fast: where you have to get 25 kills with explosive bombs [★★]
- Deathmatch - Group Delta - Dead Heat: where you are required to kill 30 players with scope weapons in a single match OR 60 scoped kills gathered from more matches played [★★]
- Casual - Group Sigma - First Impressions: you have to make 5 kills in the first 30 seconds of every round [★★]
Honestly, I was a little bit worried on the Deathmatch task as I though it would be really hard to get 30 scoped kills in a single match, but as AWP is one of my favourite weapons in CS:GO, I had no issues completing this from the first try, so let's say it was a pretty quick and easy job.
However, if you are not a fan of this weapon, you shouldn't be scared playing the mission as there is also the chance to complete this from more matches played but where the total number of kills required will be 60 instead of 30. So take your time and game on! - You can also consider using an auto-sniper for faster kills.
But since we felt like needing a little bit warm up before jumping on the serious missions, we thought about the next mission completed to be the Casual one, where we did it pretty fast as well because we were rushing every round and so it was impossible not to get at least one kill per round.
Since Casual matchmaking is usually a bloodbath anyway, and if you are not used to playing that aggressive, you can consider completing the other option for this mission, namely to get a total of 25 kills in more matches played, no matter if it's in the first 30 seconds of every round or not.
Anyway, at the beginning of this post I was saying something about getting to explore a new part of CS:GO realms with an uncommon mission that I personally never met before, where you have to get 25 kills by setting up explosives on the ground.
If you are a fan of the Danger Zone mode, this might not seem too unfamiliar for you because that's where the whole thing was inspired from, but keep in mind that this task will come with the risk of getting some friendly fire, so the best thing you can do is to kill with weapons the basic enemies and wait for these which are coming with shields because they stick together and also move slower.
There is a total of 10 enemies every round but some of them have shields and some not, so we simply killed those who had the shield missing and surrounded us with explosives waiting for the guys with the shield.
And last but not least, we get to complete the Competitive mission that is played on a map that was added in the previous operation and which I was sort of afraid to get on just because I don't know the positions too well.
However, we started as CTs and I was playing only mid every round with both normal weapons and AWP and managed to get 2,3 or even 4 kills per round, so this ended pretty fast with a score of 9-1 for us, finishing the match in no time. I was also occupying the first position the whole time having double the kills of the rest of the teammates, so let's hope I'll have more often this kind of days and rank up faster! 😃
