After some amazing runs over the past couple of days, I knew what was coming. The unavoidable rut of bad loot, a lower amount of points, and having to waddle through it all. While it sucked it was a lot better than some of my early runs.

I could tell by the low amount of loot I was getting that I was going to go deeper into the red. This ended up being quite the short run. While some players have horror stories of going through a rut for months or even a year in some cases. Nothing that inane happened that I’d expect to see those kinds of dreadful runs in my future.

I had started the day by racking up a couple more stages in my daily. It is quite shocking just how much of the total Mayhem Tokens I was getting out of the daily compared to my total accumulation of them over the entire event itself. Only to be beaten by the Merry Mayhem Annihilation rewards.

Early on I did at least score a 250-point kill. While I would have loved to rack up another quick stage of Merry Mayhem Annihilation that would not be happening unless I got some big point to kill out of nowhere.

At least you can get Output Amplifiers Components from these creatures rather regularly during this event. I ended up selling a couple of hundred PEDs worth during the Merry Mayhem event. While the markup on them was dropping I was getting quite low on funds to keep going.

I decided I was better off selling them now than waiting around months for the markup to return. While all these events did mean I made a bit less off them. I can’t be certain what the special events for 2023 were going to hold other than the game developers had hinted they would be doing some stuff. As a result, it just did not seem worthwhile to hold.

An hour and a half in I ended up getting a 1k point to kill out of nowhere counting towards my Merry Mayhem Annihilation. While I was not planning to grind it out to the next stage any time soon. Now with it only being around 300 points away there was no way at this point I was not going to for it this run.

It would end up being quite a slow grind for the next 200 points. At one point with the instance being well over halfway done in time remaining I had finished off stage 5 of the Mayhem daily. I decided it was as good as any to reset it.

So I dipped out of the instance. I also did a quick run up to a shopping mall to buy a couple more guns. I was also about to break the extender I was running on my gun as well. While I did not want to replace one of those for over 200 PED I rather like having the benefits of part of the gun decay being taken by it since they are a much lower markup. So with a grumble on my part, my wallet left a bit lighter than I would have liked from the shop I went to.

Then back into a fresh instance. While I was getting low on ammo and it is ever so tempting to restock in between instances. I had fallen into quite the habit of now of only stopping every 1k PED of ammo used for repairs and restocking.

While the reward for finishing that rank had some of the usual rewards. Such as 53.20 PED of Ammo and 106 Mayhem Tokens. I also got a cosmetic Silver jolly Christmas Mittens and bonus Merry Creature Codex progress.

Even with how far along I was in the Merry Mayhem Creature codex ranks it still gave me ~60% of bars worth of progress. Finishing off rank 23 for me where I selected 20.06 PED of perception granting me 147 perceptions. I had also finished off another level of Meta codex getting me and bonus attribute reward of 1 PED of intelligence well.
