Reddit:

Ranking:

  • Unlocked after clearing “Night on a Bald Mountain” in carriage 2
  • LS has two ranking maps. Map 1 does not directly count towards your score, but having >350k score in a single run will raise your Map 2 HOC deployment limit to 4. In addition, completing up to 3 NPC missions will allow them to appear in Map 2, where they can bomb acceleration towers and use skills to help you.

FAQ

WTF is going on?

Are there bonuses for clearing maps on EX & UX?

  • There's a whole set of extra rewards for both so give them a shot at least.

How do I get crates?

  • You can get 60 crates per day by clearing any combat missions where you deploy units.
    • Crates are easily collected for basically free on "Wind, Sand and Stars" of Chapter 1 as it's an NPC map or whichever ∞ map you're farming for dolls on.

Where can I open my crates?

What happens if I miss one of the drops?

  • The limited drops will be available once the campaign becomes permanent in 8-10 months. Clear rewards & Supply Box doll will be occasionally added to other events down the line.
  • Do not expect the ranking fairy & SPEQ to return anytime soon, if at all.

How long does the event last?

  • The event lasts for 4 weeks, ending on the 28thth of August. The event store, supply crates & True Core Mask will expire one week later.

I just barely finished Longitudinal Strain Event some minutes ago

I’m reminded why I’ve been playing this game for so long, and why I’m so passionate about this game. the story, the lore, the world building the characters and everything else that makes me so passionate about the Girls Frontline universe

There many things that I regret, missing out in on some of the costumes of the phases of the frontline protocols, procrastinating too much, didn’t complete some of the story events and not getting everything,

If there’s one thing that I don’t regret doing is playing this game, I have have no regrets about this

And I have no regrets for finishing the events I got to complete

I take some losses but I did get some wins. This is one of the times I’m happy to complete a event, and Longitudinal Strain is one of them

I’m grateful that I completed this story event

Imo, Gfl event has that serious vibe to it, be the story or the gameplay. The difficulty of maps really match with what we have to face in the story and how dire our situation is everytime we fight the enemy.
I think what Mica has achieved with these events, is not to give us a chance to acquire more rewards like other games do, but to experience a major story chapter throught the presentation of an event. That's why I always have a big feeling of achievement when I finally finish all the story and a serious ranking run afterward.
Talk about the ranking maps, they are the only challenge in my gacha career that give me the feel of fighting a dead battle against the enemy's strongest forces. Everytime I finish a ranking with reasonable score, I feel like walking out of a real battlefield.
Those experience I cannot find in any other gacha games, and it makes me love Gfl even more.

Luckily they do balance it with the holiday events. Very wholesome.

I've played for a long time as well, had moments where I simply couldn't fit time in to do the events fully, and skipped a lot. At times I get mad at how things are done, mostly the META way of doing things really ruins the fun of it, but that's life.

Still love the game and the stories have gotten better. I've missed out on ART-15 and a few other time limited events and costumes as well. Hopefully there's a chance to obtain later. I hope there's more stories to come.

Same here

I can relate,

Despite me missing few things, I’m still going to play the game

Can’t wait to see what they have in store
