They 900 gold not worth it. I cant capture a point. Too much arty. I dont like the rewards. It will take days to capture out of luck. Cant even gold skip it.

Why would you spend money first and only then play it?
It is not like you miss out on anything by holding off from buying it till after you played it.
People really need to learn how to manage their money… before complaining about how they spend their own money.

The only reward that would interest me is the Mondragon, however the arty is so bad it would be a complete waste of time to be able to play long enough and score enough to be able to win them.

Have you even played it? If it’s just for the Mondragón, it’s really not worth it. Capturing objectives is incredibly hard.
Constant artillery barrages, non-stop sniping, plus lone wolf mode — it’s pure torture.
More than once, I got killed just trying to cap a point, only for it to be taken right back by AI.
Now basically everyone is just camping. With only one life, the endless waiting is agonizing.
And some people are saying this is just WWI, that slowness is the feature. It’s making me absolutely furious.

I played once. I lost nine soldiers, eight of which was due to artillery. I only got the chance to shoot once, getting two kills, then dying to artillery again. It ain’t worth playing as it is. Hell, I rarely got close to the cap point as I was always vaporized by artillery. I had a total of six kills, four from artillery and two from a rifle. However, you always have to fight with four of five others for the radio to even call in a strike. It’s a complete joke.

Artillery fire isn’t the main issue.
The real problems are no AI teammates to fight alongside, the map being way too open, and too many players sniping and camping.
Lengthening the artillery cooldown is just a band-aid fix — it doesn’t solve the core issue, which is how unfun solo mode is.
On top of that, they locked assault, engineer, and machine gun classes behind score requirements.
Without artillery, I’d get picked off by campers 8 out of 10 times anyway. The end result is the same.
At least artillery now can take out those brain-dead AI that march in straight lines.
I really think letting us command proper AI teammates would be way better than this.
The frustration after dying is overwhelming. I feel terrible.
And the Mondragón is so tempting, you know?
It might even be better than the SVT, a full-power semi-auto at BR3.
But the grind to get it is just torture.

I just played for the second time. Artillery apparently was fixed, but you’re right, everyone is just laying around sniping so it’s hard to advance. I had to run as far as I could around the sides to try flanking, which worked, but still couldn’t get to a cap point before someone sniped me. I want the Mondragon, but i’m not playing any more. It also doesn’t help my cause that I am not good with a bolt action rifle, so, the event is not fun for me. I did get to use the MP 18 once, but died shortly after spawning and only got one kill with it.

The game doesn’t even give us many AI soldiers.
I’d be happy if they sent 200+ troops in a proper charge, not just jogging forward.
But instead, they just form a single file line and march straight to their deaths.
Looks like DF still hasn’t fixed the AI follow and pathing issues.
Assault, machine gunner, and engineer classes are all locked behind score requirements.
And there’s no guarantee you won’t get blown up by artillery right after spawning, or picked off by a camper the second you peek out.
Making these classes cost score is a huge problem — it’s just a losing deal.
DF is abandoning their core feature: infantry AI squads!
I’m crawling on the edge of the map and still getting shot from the other side.
After finishing the 150 kills and 7500 score missions, just staying alive long enough to cap a point feels impossible.
And now, everywhere I go, people won’t talk about gameplay with me — they only want to argue about history.
It’s driving me crazy.
It’s like DF planted secret shills to stop us from talking about how messed up this April Fools event really is.

Stamina went up a tiny bit, but the 16 HP boost didn’t apply at all. Reload speed, running speed, stamina recovery — none of it increased.
It’s like they didn’t change anything! That’s exactly why I hate preset soldiers. Who knows if DF is just giving us basic, unupgraded ones? Last Halloween, even the elite ones performed worse than the riflemen you buy for 600 coins.
They’re straight-up useless.
Here are some game tips: First, complete all battle pass missions in the event campaign mode before purchasing the paid pass. Second, follow the AI units to attack or defend after hearing the whistle. Third, do not defend while attacking, and do not attack while defending. Fourth, artillery support has a cooldown period; if your own position is unavailable, you can enter the enemy’s position to use it. Fifth, pay attention to battlefield prompts and details; do not wander aimlessly. 
If you don’t pay attention to the game details and rules, you’ll be in a passive and vulnerable position. It seems there’s a reason you can’t complete the event tasks. I’ve complained before, but do you really think the April Fool’s Day event is terrible?
Otherwise? Everyone else thinks so except me.
