Yes, you are not wrong when you read the title. I’m very suprise to hear that even in 2026, some players still try to find a way to exploit. And i won’t make this topic if those players haven’t gone too far like this:
As you can see, the top1 player had a total score of 3B7 in 2h32’. That happened only in ONE day, which shown the “most active recruit (daily)” leaderboard.
I have learnt about how was this to be caused, especially asking many people and here is what they said to me:
You play a 10-wave Double Team mission with the highest difficult and use Dimensional Phase-out belong with Damage Amplifier to speed up the mission, and then you repeat it over and over again.
What made me suprise is that player doesn’t seem like to afraid of the current penalty system if you’re trying to repeat a mission more than 4 times. I thought they should stop after a moment. But what, they aren’t actually stop.
A few months ago, @Luna used to report this. Let me remind you here:
And what iA replied:
And now, here is my voice about this situation: As i can understand, using anything ingame to create your own strategy to farm key/food is not violent against the game/rule (like hack or cheat). Developers from many games even create a specific mode of the game for players to farm specific resources. HOWEVER, these “farming resource” stages are always being restricted, which you cannot farm the resource many times in a short time, mostly you have to wait to the next day so you can repeat your own “daily farming” strategy.
In our case, the Chicken Invaders Universe game, using “Double Team” mission to deploy a strategy to collect many keys in a short time, by using DPO and DA for a simple config, but you can get more keys than when you buy those special weapons. I called this strategy has “more profitable” than other strategy (although i know there are many ways to farm keys).
And that’s why, in “Hoàng Hạc” case, their strategy is not actually against the game’s ToS. iA assumed this as normal and won’t do anything. @InterAction_studios Am i correct about what did you think when you replied that to @Luna ? I also agree that their strategy is not violent against anything, and y’all should accept that.
BUT, there is one thing i want @InterAction_studios know. What is your own opinion about “farming” some resources too much in a short time? And then what? You added a new feature called “penalty” that will reduce score, food and keys when players repeat a mission too much times. I appreciate that. But haven’t you question yourself that, even of that, why that “Hoàng Hạc” player still repeat a mission? Or… they could repeat all missions, not just one? I have a theory that this player saved a large amount of Double Team missions, and they started to repeat each of them. Currently, repeating a mission from the 5th time above will assume as “penalty” result, which the “DPO-DA” strategy i mentioned before.
In fact, no one have permission to forbid you for playing a daily farming like that. But everything should have their limit! Having more than 1B score in a short time, what is the meaning of this game? I know that collecting keys for buying things never easy for us, but you should know that what’s the real meaning of playing a game? For showing our skill, or for entertainment purpose after you went for your work (get money for your real life) or your study.
Which my explaination, i try to tell iA a suggestion: Do something to restrict the limit. Penalty may already be existed ingame, but it’s still not enough. I should leave a better suggestion for everyone who took time to read my topic here. Maybe limit a number of time you play a specific type of mission. Or maybe… special weapons is not more used by spamming it (i mean, example DPO, after its 4s is gone, you are able to use it again), or adding those special weapon a cooldown time, which force use to use them again after some second (jammed feature may not enough).
That’s all, tell me if you have better suggestion to make our game better, with still keep your own “farm resources” strategy can be used. I agree to say the current CIU seem too hard to get more key, especially newbie players, unless you have a high brain to calculate your way.
P/s: Don’t get me wrong idea, i actually know how to get more keys. It’s just… you know, repeating something too often makes me feel disheartened and cannot feel the true of playing a game.
