    When will the next Global Event (5. - Blackout) be?

    I just inquire if the GEs will be continued with Blackout.
    Based on earlier GEs this should be between 29.10.2018 - 05.11.2018.

    Do you know exact timing already? (If there will be Blackout at all, as this was not on he Year 3 road map).

    Any official info about it?

    Ahhh...Blackout. My 2nd favorite GE right behind Ambush. I had so much fun the 1st time around when I spent the whole event playing my version of whack-a-mole in the legendary & incursion. I used a 6 piece Nomad with HOK rolled everywhere, hip-fired my Navy MP5N with predatory and determined in the free slot to quickly build my charge meter, and proceeded to run around one tapping every npc in sight. It is SO rewarding to finally one-tap all those op melee kings in legendaries.

    P.S. Don't forget to equip the agent talent, Fear Tactics. It works wonders for the Blackout event.

    I did the same but with Reclaimer. You need zero DPS for this GE. just shoot into open space to get your charge bar half way and then zip around like a human-seeker mine. Hilariously fun.

    Yes, Blackout is funny. The shock melee is great. Good tip to equip Fear Tactics. It is one of my favourite GEs as well, together with Outbreak.

    Correct.

    I always go back and forth between Blackout and Outbreak. They're both so damn satisfying.
