    My Global Events chart

    1. Golden Bullet.
    Enemies and players could get "Golden bullet" buff: while it's active, weapons has 100% handling (accuracy, stability, reload speed) and boosted damage. Buff refreshes on kills.
    Absolutely insane and amazing event, really love it! Even if remember, that enemies could have it too, for players this is great boost with little to zero disadvantages!

    2. Ressurection.
    Killed enemies will be auto-revived few seconds later. To prevent it - you should headshot kill them. This will also leave a cloud, which will damage enemies and give damage buff to players.
    Pretty fun event. Not as good as 1st one and could lead to weird bugs (i.e. enemy decided to raise in the past area and this blocks your progression), but still pretty fun, if you have good headshots ratio ofc. If not, then this event is bad for you.

    3. Polarity
    Players and enemies have blue or yellow buff. Shooting on same color deal extra damage, shooting on different color deals lowered damage, kills of proper colors adds damage buff, which refreshes on kills. Players could change their color with weapon swap or reload. To change enemy colors - melee attack them.
    Disappointed. Seriously, it sounds fun on paper, but in reality this is meh. This is shooter, not chess, give me fun shooting, not calculating: what to hit and what to not, when reload and when swap!

    4. Hollywood
    Enemies have a shields, which reduces incoming damage. To remove shields players should use EMP, electricity or blasts.
    Just pure trash. Technically, it increase difficulty level by 1, i.e. from challenging to heroic. And giving zero benefits to players.


    So, just 1 good event, 1 semi-good and 2 trash ones.

    Massive, could you swap all other events with Golden Bullet, please?

    ... and lately these global events seem to crash the game after activation...
    Remember the first few days after the Golden Bullet with crashes every 4 minutes or so? They are are back now, with Polarity.
    I will not activate these events, except for GB.

    Are you talking about Guardians? Eliminating the guardian removes the protection, and you get a big weapon handling and RPM buff when you do (similar to golden bullet).

    You could open current season and then check the last GE

    Guardians is the one where enemies had shields. If you're referring to "SHD Exposed", transferring your stacks would debuff enemies so they took more damage. It was my least favorite of season four though.
