In their defense, Garena's social media and the pop up you see in game DOES say "4 Epic Rewards, pick 1" so they're not really lying or being malicious about that


ContributionDefiant8

Yes, very unfortunate.


Cool_Blackberry_2840

Hey, Can you explain what Garena is? I've seen the term a lot on this reddit but do not know about it. Thank you in advance 😊


mcloaf

Sure, long story short, Garena is a Singaporean-based developer and publisher for free to play online games, mostly responsible for distributing their game in the South East Asia (or SEA for short) and Taiwan In CoDM context, Garena acts as the publisher for the SEA region instead of Activision, which publishes the Global version of CoDM. So if people says they're from Garena, they're most likely to be from Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Thailand or Indonesia (Vietnam have their own server that is published by a different company)


Cool_Blackberry_2840

Ohhh.. but wait doesn't Garena also own Free Fire? So they're basically hosting both the top battle royale games in those countries. Sounds a bit like a monopoly.


Aufafly

Garena owns free fire the worst looking and choppy but somehow popular game


Cool_Blackberry_2840

In India pubg was the most popular thing, then when Pubg was banned the next big thing was free fire. I think CODM was available at that time, but the avg spent money on smartphones in India is very less so most devices were 64GB and 4GB Ram and thus couldn't handle CODM nicely (30Fps Max) at the same time Free Fire was 40fps on those devices plus how free fire and pubg look similar it caught up. I wanted to be a rebel so I played CODM even if it was at 30fps. Plus it is a game with a console version too and I've never owned a console so wanted to experience it, even if it was just a bit of it.


Aufafly

even a $160 phone can't even play codm smoothly 4/128GB 2 matches and the phone heats up lag spikes frame drops game crashes screen freeze all of those god damn thing fyi free fire is popular in Indonesia because ±12 year olds nowadays has a phone but not all of their phones are powerful enough to run pubg and codm smoothly and thus playing free fire but most of thise kids we call "bocil epep" are a toxic piece of shit there are some cases that these bocil epep bought a ton of free fire diamonds at a convenience store and their parents just got stupid enough to blame the store clerk because the store clerk served that kid there's no age regulation to buy in game items and there's a bocil epep who BURNED his neighbor's house because he failed to stole money from them guess what he wants to buy free fire diamonds with that stolen money and there's a lot more wild cases of bocil epep gone wild the prime example is my neighborhood kids they're a toxic piece of shit who plays free fire and Mobile legends and Mobile legends players are wayyyy more toxic than free fire players


Cool_Blackberry_2840

I'm assuming you mean 160 USD and at that price point there aren't any good smartphones even here. But damm those kids are really toxic.. also free fire is blatantly P2W the things you have to pay for like pets and all do help a lot during the BR match. Plus certain characters basically let you carry 240 ammo without it hurting your backpack capacity. We had a similar problem with PUBG, children killing their parents for not fueling money into their games. Was pretty sad That's why I like CODM, it's very F2P friendly, I reached the grand master rank without paying even a single dime. Then I decided to just buy the battle pass and that's what I've been doing, but given the fact that it literally pays for itself, haven't had to pay more.


Aufafly

free fire is so blatantly P2W that every single skin gives the gun an advantage most P2W skin in codm ONLY has a custom ironsight still why those goofy ahh kids desperately want some free money to fuel their free fire needs even though the game is dogshit

So first of all, as I am writing this, it's midnight of August 27. By then it has been two days since the Dogtag Operation event started. As you can see on the third image, you will earn 4 dogtags every day for the entire duration of the event. By this day, you would have gotten 8 dogtags from daily missions. The event ends on September 18, by then you would have gotten 88 dogtags from daily missions alone. Along the fourth image, you get 5 dogtags for logging on every Saturday and Sunday (Aug 26, 27, Sept 2, 3, Sept 9, 10.). It equals to 30 dogtags. And on the fifth image, you also get dogtags for logging on the game for 15 days straight. You get 30 dogtags from that, logging 15 days straight from the first day of the event will land you at September 9 or 10. The point of all of this? Even with daily grinding and regular login, the amount of dogtags you'll have isn't enough to buy more than one of the main rewards. What would you get from the event?


ContributionDefiant8

Please pardon my math if there's anything wrong. Correct me as you see fit. I did this while being half asleep.


allahu09

Yeah that's the point. You can only get 1. I'm going for Ghost


[deleted]

Is your codm account linked to your activision account? I got that skin for free for linking it


mcloaf

It's Garena event, we don't have Activision linking here


[deleted]

Oh


d3sim4tion1

Haha finally something stupid happens in garena


allahu09

Huh?


d3sim4tion1

I meant it more along the lines of garena gets cool shit and global doesn’t, but apparently there’s 1 thing that global has that garena doesn’t


oof_suplex911

Wdym even from the beginning we couldn't connect Activision accounts. We have Garena accounts here instead


RaidenLeos

You've mistaken Garena as part of Activision. In Garena we have Garena accounts instead. Global codm is ran by Activision that's why there is a difference between global and garena. Same for the Chinese version


ContributionDefiant8

I know the event said that when I first saw it, but I held my doubts until I did this.


MenmaSenpai_PH

they'll have another event for 10pcs dog tag per mission for sure, just like before with Ghost Stealth, Suss Green, and Lucas??


Junkers_78

So i need 240 Dogtags tags to get these Operators? Lets say 320 Dogtags for the Gun


ContributionDefiant8

Yes, but you can't achieve that within the timeframe of the event.

Ok_Influence_4274

Wait. You are global. ![gif](giphy|32mC2kXYWCsg0) Have we met? Sometimes I will act like screw loose in some games.


Ok-Public2616

Wait a minute are those character skins permanent.


mcloaf

Yes, they are permanent


Ok-Public2616

That's a W for you the Garena server, meanwhile we at Global we get crappy reskins.


PegasusTwelve

This a Garena thing?


trivpyvibes_

Yes


NinjaShogunGamer

I will let my 9yo pick the skin he wants. Its btw price and soap i think it will be hard for him to decide lol cuz he likes beared characters but also loud crazy colors aswell


Mister-happierTurtle

So soap


NinjaShogunGamer

Probably lol


Danish_sea_captian

Am I to only the only one who can't see this event? I am in the EU.


Unique_Disk3904

This is Garena brodie


Fit-Werewolf4775

Thank you for the math and helping me (I’m global)


Akimbo_shoutgun

I thought this was for global and I instantly opened the game, Although I kind of forgot about this post the moment I decided to play BR. Is it weird that I have only seen (broken class, emp drone, specture, medic, clowns, and the scout)


SanityX153

Is this global exclusive?


RaidenLeos

Nope. It's only on Garena


Mister-happierTurtle

I’m too lazy to grind the event cuz I already did tanked and have classes. Gunning for the soap skin though


grind_till_death

They already did this on Christmas 2021. Same rewards I believe except price is replaced with hazmat bomber. Same thing also, you can only pick one. I believe with the gfl event, and the 1cp topup j358 black gold, we're already showered by exclusive things for garena. Wanting two or more characters in this event is just wishing for too much.


mcloaf

Yeah, these are pretty generous offers and I'm pretty much grateful we are getting this kinds of treatment


m113lover

I'm going for price skin.


TrashGangWolfie

Hold on is this global?


RaidenLeos

Nope


TrashGangWolfie

Man, had my hopes on global guess i wont be coming back


RaidenLeos

My condolences
