On Saturday the 25th January a surprising attack was launched against several crews who owned Bullet Factories. A player known as Survived and a few of his friends from an undisclosed underground crew shot five players and took control of five bullet factories. Survived then proceeded to attempt to sell those bullet factories managing to sell only one before he was killed himself!
We at the Buzz were first on the scene and managed to grab a quick interview with Survived before he was killed mid interview! His answers and reasons were a breath of fresh air in the late stages of this round which had started to look like it was all sown up and dominated. Survived has demonstrated exactly what a few dedicated players can achieve if they work hard together.
The first thing we asked him was why those specific players, if he had a method in the way he chose his targets. The players were from Enemy of the State and Bogota, two well known crews who have lived for a long time on the statistics with their bullet factories. Whilst they have been shot a few times they have the resources to come back quickly, as demonstrated by the fast return shooting!
He told us his targeting reasons was "pretty simple really, I wanted to get as much property with as little money as possible, so I targeted low rank accounts holding property." Very straight forward. We then asked him about how much planning which was involved in this attack and he explained, "I know that all new crews are wiped within a couple days of been created. When I created the crew a few boss's asked to join and I saw they all had tommies. So I asked them if they were interested in a shooting. They all agreed So I started to dish out money and told people to stock up on bullets."
Very simple and easy to pull off. The players working together managed to strike first knowing that their days were numbered. This is the kind of action which almost looked like it had been forgotten this late in the round! Since he had told us he had multiple shooters we wanted to know exactly how many there were. He informed us, "five shooters, (some still not shot yet.) Only two have shot so far. And I funded the killing so whoever picked up the property sent it to me."
We then wanted to find out how much this attack cost and were quickly told, "Casino earnings: $119,086,720 (crew profit). All has gone on the shooting. So far 100k bullets has been shot. And search fees and pickup costs." Quite a bit but not as much as you would expect if you were looking to pick up five bullet factories in one strike!
Since we noticed that Survived was trying to sell the bullet factories he had picked up we asked him about how much interest he had, "I think I have a buyer for the 4 bi's not sure if he is bluffing tho cause he is stalling a bit." We then wanted to know if he was actually going to end up in profit if he managed to sell the factories. His reply: "Nope, deffo no profit will have been made but it was worth it cause I hate Stow and TF." For those of you who don't know Stow is the boss of Enemy of the State and Bogota is widely associated with the underground crew The Family.
Our next question was about his future plans. "I will be shooting as much as possible. Enemy of the state and the others changed the game. I would have never shot anyone but I will do all i can to shoot them back. I have said to many crews, if everyone who were boss+ just shot one account they would be wiped very easily, but the other crews are too weak and scared to shoot anyone, they would prefer to rank to boss, get shot and rank to boss again."
Naturally our next line of inquiry was into his view point on the next round. Would it be the same as previous rounds, in his opinion, with a select few dominating the rest? Or would there be significant changes giving other crews a chance? His well thought out answer was, "I really hope so, updates should be released I hope to stop game domination at this level. If no features change, I hope everyone's mind set changes and shoot a lot more just like Enemy of the State. I will do everything I can to make sure no one reaches SDON level next reset." Bold words.
Finally we asked for some history on his crew. The Blake Association is a new crew name so we wanted some more information about their game plan! He very carefully explained, "it's a UG crew name as am I. I will not release my name though until all the shootings are done."
We can only keep our eyes open for more attacks from The Blake Association and see if Survived is true to his word! Whatever else happens the future should definitely have interesting events coming from this underground crew and eventually the real identity of this player will be revealed. As always, good luck and happy ranking!
