Question about GM box timer in new construct

The timer will be on the box, as that's the time you have to kill all the waves that come. After we killed it, the box became lootable, just like pandora. Did you check time start to the moment the box went?

Update 61 Discussion - June 26, 2008

Nice, I'm sure you'll get it done, hell with the right 3 team setup, it should be a breeze, after that + more people = less time. The tier 3 was easy enough once you have the right loadouts.

Update 61 Discussion - June 26, 2008

They have the same resistance for all attacks. There is not 1 tree doing more damage than the other (From our tests, or less damage than we'd expect it too). Kill them like you would a lvl 100 Agent and you'll find it easy enough.
