    KTM week 4, the toughest week?

    Maybe it's because I'm generally not great at the swamp tracks but this week seems to be the toughest challenge in acquiring this KTM 450.

    I also noticed they switched up the prize schedule and there are 13 blueprint pieces available (1 for playing, 5 for top 10%, 7 for top 5%). That's good for people who might not have hit the top 5% in previous weeks and allows them to still get the bike.

    I feel lucky that I only need to make top 10% this week to get the last 6, I'm not sure I'd make it to top 5% with nothing but swamp tracks.

    Hmm, I think these tracks are actually one of the easier ones. Currently rank 38 from the 40k players.
    Also got a pretty nice time on Marsh Edge: 16.172 (#8 from 18k players)

    Still got a ticket open for my week 1 rewards as I pressed back on my phone when the rewards popped up, making it so I didnt get any of the 1st week rewards.
    So far I've made it to top 1% fairly easy every week.

    I'm a noob in this game, started playing a month ago, so my technique isn't that good on bunny jumps and such. I've managed to get top 4-5% each week, but I have to agree this week is killing me, I hate the swamp tracks and just can't handle them x)
    Hoping for top 10% to get the necessary blueprints for the KTM bike.

    I would say last week were the easiest tracks

    I started partway through the first KTM event so I've been playing a while now and I still find the swamp tracks difficult.

    I thought there were some tricky ones last week. IMO week 2 was the easiest but I guess it all comes down to which tracks you are particularly good at and which ones challenge you.

    True, it would be too boring if tracks were too easy, and again would mean the margins between top 20 and 5 would be milliseconds. I guess it just gets down to, as you said, which tracks one like.
    I still hate the swamp and am not fond of anba missions, haha.

    I must be in the minority, only because the swamp tracks usually run the smoothest for me since there aren't SPINNING SAWS AND CRAP ON EVERY LEVEL

    Personally I have not found any of these tracks hard. I'm currently in place 31? for week 4 and the other 3 weeks were a breeze. I like the new KTM bike. Gonna love it more when I build it up in a few days.

    This week has been a breeze for placing high. Maybe because, like you, a lot of riders aren't that great at swamp tracks.

    Plant Food was a bugger to Plat though. Finally nailed it, and it seems only the top 2% actually managed it.

    The last couple of tracks are a struggle, I guess I must be missing a trick or two.
