How it works
You can find the event under Events/Featured. As you might gather from the picture above, there are five reward levels that require a certain amount of Resistance. You build Resistance by using Stim Shots which you can obtain by killing opponents in any mode. Depending on the reward level you'll need more and more Stim Shots to gain 1 Resistance. You also need to accumulate Battle Time which is simply the time spent fighting.Playing Attack of the Undead or any mode on Tunis awards double Stim Shots, although this bonus doesn't stack (so playing Attack of the Undead on Tunis doesn't award 4 times the Stim Shots).
Here is the amounts of Stim Shots and Battle Time required per level:
Level | Stim Shots | Battle Time (minutes) | Total kills | Total Combat Time |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 1 | 1 | 100 | 1h 40m |
2 | 2 | 1 | 200 | 1h 40m |
3 | 4 | 1 | 400 | 1h 40m |
4 | 8 | 1 | 800 | 1h 40m |
5 | 10 | 1 | 1,000 | 1h 40m |

Tips & Tricks
Since the event consists of grinding, there's little point in an actual guide. However, to maximize efficiency, I have the following tips for you:- don't play on Tunis. The map is simply too big and much time is spent running and looking for enemies, regardless of mode (but some are worse than others)
- don't bother with Attack of the Undead either. While the matches are usually over quickly, there is no way to select a map. If you happen to get Tunis, the time spent running around is time spent doing nothing. Also, since the amount of possible kills is restricted to 7, the most Stim Shots you can get is 14, far less than in other modes. It's also more than likely you won't be able to kill everyone yourself.
- do play Rapid Fire! With unlimited ammo and fast charging Score Streaks/Operator Skills, this mode is the way to go if you want a ton of kills really quick. 30 to 50 Stim Shots per match aren't unusual, more is possible if you are really good or your opponents are bots.
- if Rapid Fire isn't available, the most effective way is playing Hardpoint on Rust. Since the map is so small, you save a lot of running time, and if you wait till the Hardpoint is taken by the enemy, you can easily kill many of them at once just by tossing a grenade, popping a Sentry Gun (or Predator Missile) or just shooting them all up.
Just run around and kill absolutely everyone to rack up score streak. Spam UAV as much as possible for passive streak generation and unleash your Sentry Gun and Stealth Chopper as they become available.
One important thing to remember is that while Stim Shots are the most relevant thing to grind, you also need to accumulate Battle Time to be able to actually convert them into Resistance. It's a good idea to play a Battle Royale match every once in a while to collect some Battle Time, although this gets less and less important the higher your Resistance level is.
You'll still need a good amount of matches to unlock all levels but with this method you can get there a lot faster. If you have some weapons to level, this is a great opportunity to do that as well!
