I was doing some missions today, when appeared to me the task '3, 2, boom!' asking me to kill some worms with three diferent weapons [in image].
Then I've decided to start the mission with the spooky shot, but my surprise was that I've used the spooky shot that I have but even after this the mission did not count it as killing.. an I supposed to use it TWICE TO COUNT? If so, I wish to know if it's possible to get the one lost back to try the mission again ;/


EDIT: Sorry for the image size, I thought it was going to be larger ;/
If needed, I repost it. =]

lol, well you can do it 2 ways, spooky shot spooky shoted worm, or spooky shot worm that have 5 or less HP, since SS deals 5 dmg, still pretty weird and awkward task lol

To complete this task you need to kill the Worm with the Spooky Shot. Therefore you do need to shot it twice, once to scare it, second time to kill it! Hope this helps. Bob

I did the task, killing the worm with the spooky shot, I finished it and then, when I relog, there was a new one, again with the spooky shot u.u
It's starting to become a little annoying, since you 'lose' the weapon, knowing that it could deal more damage ;/
And if you don't do the quest, it stuck another one that was supposed to appear. That's sad ;/

And will it count if i hit a worm that have 5 or less HP with SS and kill it instantly, spending only 1 SS (since it deals 5 damage)?

For me it did. That's how I did it and I completed the task.

You could skip the task, at least the Spooky Shot.

I got this task today and that's what I did.

For any reason, to skip Spooky Shot cost less than its price as you can see in the screenshot below (Spooky Shot costs 4 credits). So it was more profitable skipping it than trying to accomplish it.

For some reason, when you skip a weapon task, it appears again in the next task. It happened with me with the golden bazooka. I've skipped it 4 times but it was still appearing, until I make the task.

Actually is cheaper to pay the 3 credits to skip than to use spooky shot...

Man, I got this task again next day (not immediately afterwards as luisromano said above).

Some notes about this task:

*each Hallowen weapon requires 3 credits to be skipped, so if you skip all them you'll spend 9 credits on total;

*if you manage to accomplish this task in the usual way, you'll spend at least 10 credits and 1600 coins. If you skip the whole task, you spend 9 credits and save 1 credit and 1600 coins.

*as Unholy Hand Grenade can be purached by coins, you SHOULDN'T skip it, save your credits instead;

if you skip:
Unholy Hand Grenade - 1600 coins (the only you won't skip, you'll buy it!)
Spooky Shot - 3 credits
Skull Strike - 3 credits
Total: 6 credits + 1600 coins

if you accomplish:
Unholy Hand Grenade - 1600 coins
Spooky Shot - 4 credits
Skull Strike - 6 credits
Total: 10 credits + 1600 coins

Then, skipping vs. accomplishin, you decides what's the better/easier option for you. Have in mind that if you fail on killing a worm you'll need to buy that weapon again. So if you're not good at killing enemy worms you should skip instead wasting your precious credits.

Yeah, but until the Halloween weapons go away, there's a big chance you'll get the task again...

It's pretty simple guys: if skipping is cheaper than accomplishing, skip it.

It doesn't matter how many times this task comes again, skipping it will always be more profitable.

Hey guys, just to clarify, are you still having problems with the Halloween weapons still appearing in the tasks?

Some of the tasks are randomly generated, so if you get repeated tasks, is because of this. We will be adding more to the game every so often.
