Additional Info

  • Operation: Iron March marked the first time the Shadow Op's Damage Bonus was used in a Special Event.

Trivia

  • Covert Strike! - Phases became repeatable to gain additional Tier Prizes.
    • Repeatable began with the 2nd Phase of Cycle 12 which started on Jun 05, 2015.
    • Originally Only additional Tier Prizes were available. No additional Campaign Prize Parts or Damage Bonuses were given for repeating phases.
    • Additional Campaign Prize parts were added to the list of repeatable prizes starting with 2nd Phase of Cycle 13 which began on Jul 03, 2015. ref
  • Shadow Ops is very similar to the Battle Pirates weekly event Forsaken Mission .
  • You can not deploy Mercenary Mech on the northeast highland in Sentinel Level 45, although it is clear for them to land.
  • The player may need at least Level 10 Rank Specialist to play Shadow Ops.
  • Tier 3 in Shadow Ops will first reward prizes you do not yet own - there is no set order for when these prizes are rewarded just as long as you don't own them yet. Once you've unlocked everything in tier 3 at least once, you will then be awarded duplicate prizes.
