Sas 4 - In Depth Faction War Guide

In this Video I will teach you everything about the Faction War Game Mode! I may not be always the best at something but I think this video turned out very well :D I really enjoyed making it even though it was a bit painful, in total it took me about 30 minutes to get all footages, 4 hours to write/correct the script, 30 mins to do the voiceover and 10+ Hours to edit. SO basically this is the video where I have put the most effort in so far! ope It helped you in some way :)

BUGGED TERMINALS (Information is Taken from the SAS World Discord Server)

Requirements
1 runner
3 buggers (who don't use Steam to bug, any other device is fine)


Strategy:

Bugger: Each bugger will have two devices they will use to sit on a different terminal, the idea is to hold down 6 total terminals with the 6 devices we have running, this will allow us to cut down the total terminals to 8.

Runner: The runner will run between the last two remaining terminals. While ALWAYS keeping off the 8th terminal. The idea here is that we want to keep the game from crashing because the 8th terminal causes the crash.


Good Map: A good map is a map where the 7th terminal does not light up the 8th terminal

Bad Map: A Bad map is a map where the 7th terminal lights up the 8th terminal, causing you to wait 16 seconds to activate the 8th terminal. This causes the other 6 terminals to barely activate meaning the reward isn't as big.
EX: 300 terms in a game that could have been 900 or 1200


QNA:

Q. Why can't we use Steam to bug?
A. The invincibility you receive from bugging does not work on a Steam player. We are trying to keep all 6 devices
that are bugging invincible, as we need to keep them alive on all 6 terminals.

Q. I thought only 1 of the buggers devices could sit on terminals
A. Both of the devices the bugger has are capable of sitting on and activating terminals. You have to manage both

Q. What about the 7th term bug?
A. More testing needs to be done, in our three runs we didn't find any evidence this effects it.

Q. Does this mean body bagging is dead?
A. Yes time to get back to work you lazy fucks.

Q. How much faster will this be?
A. Based on Jlad's calculations. It takes 16 seconds for terminals to reset, which means we get 8 terminals every 16 seconds, do this for an hour and you will get 72,000 credits with a 4x multiplier if the map is good.


Test Runs:
In test run 1, we activated the 8th terminal resulting in a crash.

In test run 2, we got 40 terminals in the span of 1 minute, so these calculations may be slower than we originally thought. (GOOD MAP)

In test run 3, we had a bad map where the 7th terminal kept pointing to the 8th terminal, which slowed us down drastically, it took us about 10 minutes to get 236 terminals. (BAD MAP)

236 terms
236 / 10 minute = 23.6 terms per minute
60 sec / 23.6 per min = 2.54237288 seconds per term (all on a bad map)
