BF3 awards question

[Boo-Yeah!!]

Has anyone figured what exactly the avenger, saviour, and nemesis ribbons mean? Like what actually denotes them and what must you do to get them?

 

[Varibash]

Avenger - Kill someone who has killed one of your teammates. Has to be done within 3 seconds of that teammate getting killed

Saviour - Kill an enemy unit that is currently damaging / suppressing one of your teammates

Nemesis - Kill the same person 5 times in a round

I believe Nemesis is killing someone five (5) times without them killing you.

correct

And for avenger and savior, you have to do them twice in a round to get the ribbon.

 

[ShawnJ]

among those savior is probably the easiest to get. i already have 7 savior medal (300+ ribbons).

 

[TheAngryPanda]

I think Avenger is easier than savior personally, but Nemesis is annoyingly hard due to how I play.

I think the nemesis ribbon is annoyingly hard no matter how you play since you need to get 2 nemesis kills in a round for the ribbon.

While we're on the subject of hard to get ribbons, who the hell thought seven suppression assists was the right number to award the ribbon at. Now those things are hard to come by.

That's interesting. I've twice the # of savior medal than avenger medal. Maybe I should start letting them kill my teammate first :sneaky2:

I've trouble getting nemesis too. But that's probably b/c I play in 64 server most of the time. I know those who play in smaller maps have several Nemesis pin. Also when I myself play in smaller games (say TDM 16 player) I can end up getting nemesis pins.

I dunno about suppression assist. I think support get lots of those...I don't use big guns so I don't know. BUT I know for a fact that when I used USAS with Frag Round (before nerf) I got lots of suppression assist. Apparently you need to get 50 suppression assist something in B2K so we better think of nice way to get those fast.

All of my suppression ribbons have come from spamming the g18 in 64 player pistol servers although USAS frag rounds have also given me a lot of assists (just not enough in a round for a ribbon). Intentionally missing your target is hard...

 

[TheAngryPanda]

For suppression, get a squad mater or yourself to use the suppression bonus squad perk, 10 times easier than before for assists, also, I suggest bipod/extended mag for support class as well as the squad suppression improvement to get it even easier.

I guess an easy way for nemesis pins would be to camp an obj from far away as recon or just camp a spawn as rush. There's also a couple of broken spawns in certain smaller 64 player conquest maps. You can (ab)use these pretty easily if you know what you're doing, gets you nemesis pins pretty quick.

I'll probably never get the mcom defender medal because it encourages camping to a certain degree and I'd rather spawn camp the attacking rush team as it's more effective than camping the objective, assuming the defenders push back enough to allow for it.

Ooo, forgot about that one. You have to kill them while they are actually arming, just being close to the MCOM isn't enough. That was the ribbon that took me the longest to get and I had to actually scale back a bit and play for the ribbon.

BTW - You should bring that SV98 back out of retirement for at least 115 more kills, go for the dogtag man.
