Appreciate a like and comment if you find the above useful. An alternate Guided lists is shown below in this link.

Some Mission hint will suggest to attack a NPC or have to attack Duke to accomplish the mission.

In this game there a 5 Non Playing Characters (NPC) that drops goodies and loots after their defeat, for players who manages hit them. One hit regardless of damage will garner you a raffle ticket to such goodies and loots. The rare loots are worth billions.

A group of players associated with the Discord Channel "Loot Rangers" have daily scheduled attacks on these 5 NPC at 6 hours intervals. This is the optimal time to gain 4 rewards per NPC for the attackers. More hits, the better your chance at being rewarded with a loot rewards. On Average around 60-100 daily players are waiting for these NPC attacks.

You just need to join them in the attack and start hitting when you see a distraction number is more than 10 on the left of your attack screen. The higher the distraction number, the safer you are from getting hit back by the NPC. If you don't quick spam your hits ..and just keep to a rhythm of 3-4 seconds between hits , you can easily get away from not being hit by the NPC for all 25 turns resulting in a stalemate, and getting 25 hits on the NPC.

Mission Bring_it

 

    task: "Defeat Duke in a group attack",

 

    hint: "Unlike other missions, you'll have a week to finish this one. Doesn't have to be the finishing hit, so just join when people try to loot him. 4 Pre-planned group attacks a day.",

 

 

Here's a safe way to assist with a group attack:

1) Monitor this page https://www.tornstats.com/loot

2) A couple of minutes before the next scheduled attack, click the link for Duke to open the attack page. You don't need to join the attacks for other NPCs. Just wait on Duke's attack page or any NPC of your choice.

2.1) The group will always attack the NPCs in the same sequence as noted in the link above. One after the other.

3) Wait for others to start the fight, then join. Don't do anything else yet.

4) Once Duke's health gets to about 2/3 or less, hit Duke at least once.

5) When the fight is over you'll complete the mission.

Nice compressed version compared to the andyman list 

The idea behind keeping the list is to know before hand, what the mission entails.

Then decide if it is worth accepting it or not. Or keep it until another mission appears that you can "kill two birds with one stone".

If you decline a job, your Hidden Duke Ranking status will be slightly lower. If you accept a job and couldn't complete it, then you will get a massive drop in ranking status.

What is the consequences of  ranking status drop?

From my experience, the next few jobs will have easier targets but also, very low payout.

From my experience, the Mission points payout keeps growing until a point whereby you have bought 20 weapons mod. Then for some reason, the mission payouts drop and the payout seems random from then on. Sometimes 150+ points , sometimes 30+ points, with stock benefit CBD.

20 weapon mod = Merit.

A different list... More tips... Taken out from a script.. credits below.

Slight modification to original as I have added a few of my own.

Andyman Guide to mission as stated by a player above 

Link

good mission list, thanks

How many contracts does Duke have?

Keeping the targets as Enemy in your friend list ..

You will soon build up a very large number of targets  that you know they have been picked by the system for Duke missions. If you get a mission to claim bounties, and you don't have a good idea of who to hit in the newspaper  -  maybe try looking at your enemy list and open the mini profile of each to pick up players who has a Bounty on them.

They usually have a Bounty worth $1 , as it is part of another mission given out by Duke.

Also if you have noted they only use Melee during the attack, then consider getting a Yellow Parry Bonus melee that will be an investment for all future Mission tasks. 

Updated the hints lists to include Cattle Prod melee being a viable option for some missions.

Provided the user has sufficient Speed in their overall Total battle stat.

Minimum Speed of 20-30%of your total stat, then Cattle prod is a viable option for Duke targets.

If speed only amounts to 5%-10% of the Total battle stat - then Cattle prod strategy will be hard to employ for Duke missions.

If Speed amounts to less than 5% of total Stat, then forget about using Cattle Prod for Duke targets in Duke missions.

I have some confusions, so I add few more tips:

For the mission explosive grenades all grenades that are listed here count, for example flash grenade, which is not damaging: https://wiki.torn.com/wiki/Explosive_Grenade

Blowgun is piercing weapon, so it fails mission, where guns are allowed, but could be used for missions that allow piercing or maybe even melee.

Flamethrower counts as a gun.

Pass the word mission requires to have above minimum character count. Not sure what is the minimum, but next time this mission shows up I will try. :)

List of NPC in game. Credits flare.

23 is now M'aol. The NPCs 100 to 104 have been updated and also seem to be M'aol themed now.

Flare posted this recently.

I can't even find Neato or Prime. Tried both name and ID number  

Here is an example of how I kept 2 Missions. Doing just a single mission daily until a new mission turns up that would make it "Killing 2 birds with 1 stone".. 

  a_problem_at_the_tracks: 

    task: "Defeat 3 (P) without using any guns.",

sellout_slayer: 

    task: "Buy a gun, use the gun on any 2 - 6 players, then sell it again.",

    hint: "Works with bought losses in defends, as well. 

A Good Day To Get Hard'

 task: "Achieve a killstreak of 3 - 10.",

    hint: "Buying losses is a valid strategy or keep this till your Faction Rank War..",

Bump

Happy Halloween event to all the new players to this game and returning players looking forward to this event 

This is one of the most frustrating mission to do prior to the release of a special weapon.

Withdrawal

Task: Injure (P)'s both arms.

Hint: Hands count as arms in this case.

Prior to the release of Cattle Prod , players probably have to spend a lot of money or energy to complete this task with Pillow or some low damaging weapons.

Using your main weapons with High Crit rate modification or Bonus is a disaster, as the high crit rate will avoid hitting the arms.

Ideally you want to go deep into the maximum 25 turns allowed and not kill the target. Escape if you can at turn 25, when target miss turn 24

Players would use Pillow for it's high accuracy and low damage. But even then susceptible to getting hit, and thus the use of booster to avoid getting hit or mitigate the damage.

With the release of the Cattle Prod, this task is much easier, albeit still not full proof.

See example of using Cattle prod and yet only accomplish half the task.

https://www.torn.com/loader.php?sid=attackLog&ID=2e47f2c5d9a1376b7c228e315c66e754

For common Battle Stat makeup, the criteria for buying Cattle prod are

1) High Accuracy.( 61-63 Accuracy preferably)

2) High Bonus Proc rate

It is not necessary to get High Quality or High Damage, The above two criteria is all the more important. Just like buying the blowgun, care must be taken to find the most appropriate stat. In this case, my preference is high accuracy cattle prod is the more important criteria.

You will need to pair the cattle Prod with a suitable temporary weapon of choice to accomplish your mission. Tear gas. Smoke Grenade or one of the booster to increase speed or dex.

Everyone will be able to find a Cattle prod Doing Burglary Crime > Farm. A Unique outcome will award a Cattle Prod.

Taser in the secondary slot is also an option.

Guys hi how to defeat DUKE,IT is one of Dukes missions called "Bring It"need some assistance with this.
