The Base Wars 2012 Challenge is one of 20 required stops in Roblox's annual Hunt event, and it splits the work across two separate tasks: a flag delivery quest and a full Skirmish match. Neither step is especially difficult, but knowing exactly where to go and which vehicle to grab the moment a match starts will save you a lot of time.
How do you complete the flag quest in Base Wars?
When you arrive at the 2012 Event Hub, speak to the NPC to activate the flag collection quest. This is a delivery task, not a combat objective, so you do not need to fight anyone to finish it.
A white arrow appears on your screen at all times and points directly toward the flag. Follow it to the top of the hill inside the castle-like structure on the map. Walk up to the flag and press E to collect it. The flag attaches to your character automatically once picked up.
With the flag in hand, bring it back to the designated NPC marked on your map. Hand it over to complete the map quest. The whole process takes under two minutes if you move straight to the marker without stopping.

How do you win a Skirmish in Base Wars?
After the flag delivery is done, you need to complete a Skirmish match. Skirmish is a team-based mode where the team with the most kills when the timer expires wins. You do not need to personally top the scoreboard, you just need your team to come out ahead.
The fastest route to a win runs through the Battle Tank. Find the Battle Tank spawner at your base the moment the match starts and claim one immediately. Tanks can run over enemy players for instant kills and are completely immune to regular bullets, making them the single most efficient tool for stacking kills quickly.

Once you have the tank, push into areas where enemies cluster and prioritize running them over rather than using the cannon. Keep an eye on the scoreboard throughout the round. If your team is ahead, pull back slightly and avoid unnecessary risks. If your team is behind, aggressive tank play through enemy clusters is the fastest way to close the gap.
How do you claim the UGC reward after finishing both steps?
Once both the flag quest and the Skirmish requirement are satisfied, return to the 2012 Hub inside the main Hunt: Roblox 20 event hub. The "Manliest Man Award" event badge and its paired UGC reward become available to claim here.
After claiming, press the white cube on the right side of the 2012 hub to advance to the 2013 Challenge. This badge counts as 1 out of 20 toward the full Hunt: Roblox 20 completion.
