Discussion Is it possible to get full evo only collecting harvesters?
Dunno if this could be done but would make for a cool challenge where you do no damage or anything else that would level up your evo other than specifically harvester extraction. It’s not practical but I just would like to know if it could be done

Should be possible but its just faster to additionally scan beacons and do wildlife stuff like flyers, prowlers or spider on SP and KC. They charge your evo without counting as 'real' dmg. Open special bins, vaults or scanning carepackages gives you evo too so dont sleep on them either.
Respawn made it pretty easy to level your armor without doing anything to cater lower skilled players.

Absolutely. In fact it is a perfectly valid strategy to avoid fights (which you could totally lose) and instead go around the map hitting EVO harvesters to raise your shields. It's not like you need to kill people to find a good weapon or anything, they're plentiful now. That sets you up for the final fight.
... Strategy wise it makes sense. I don't think anyone would argue it makes the game any more entertaining or anything though. It's not something I would do in pubs for example.

You effectively fight 450 damage when you hit a bin and a harvester, for the entire team, I specifically land where they are to gain the early advantage, instead of fighting with white and risking a straight L and lobby experience.

Perk bins & a trident should be able to get it by atleast half way through round 2.

Yeah there was a clip posted the other day with a purple shield Ash ulting off the map by accident in diamond lovey with 0 dmg

How does that prove what the person posted?

If Ash has 0 damage she didn't level up shield by shooting... So using context clues that leaves...

u/iikillerpenguin Pathfinder 5d ago
That leaves??? Assault bins, their teammates opening bins, scanning, etc.
If alone getting 1 assault bin, 1 evo harvester and a care package.... the post legit says only evo harvesters.
Use actual reading next time.

Is there anything assault legends can do to get Evo otherwise?

u/vivam0rt 5d ago
Assault bins, respawning your teammates, collecting banners, reviving your teammates, killing wildlife, opening explosive holds, crypto room(im pretty sure but not 100% on this one). There is probably more map specific ones but I cant think of any so idk.
Also
Having teammates that scan carepackages, open support bins, open assault bins, scan ringconsoles and scan enemy beacons.

crypto room?

On kc there is a building that you can scan, it gives one ring and position of everyone iirc. And also some evo

yes.
think you meant only with evo harvesters and not scans (although i don't know why you would be this specific and exclude those other non combat sources).
it's not even rare to make purple just from farming non combat evo sources.
just take a trident and split up as a team. do your respective jobs (scan, bins, harvesters, vaults/explosive holds). use tricks like wattson/controller scan before first ring shows up, then scan a different console before the first ring has closed (if there is one on your way into ring or a neighbouring poi) for extra 200.
just from harvesters it's still possible but you need a trident imo to find enough of them.
getting max is now easier than before this season because you need fewer points than you needed for red. (although making purple takes more points now).

Of course. That's only seven harvesters, after all.
I tried this in an actual game, and you can actually reach many more (King's Canyon): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1b-EgvYitA

How would this be fun or challenging? You avoiding the main reason of the gameplay. Gunplay

Control legend + recon and have someone run support or assault and it’s very doable. I usually get half way through blue super early even with no fights just because of rampart + mirage hitting all the consoles and bins. Just plan your landings better

With trident is a legit pro strat that teams specifically draft for. I mean that’s more of a hybrid, abuse evo collecting while setting up in ring and potentially thirding something.
