Not many acorns in arena?

So everyone was saying that the remaining 250k acorns or so will come along with the squirrel girl arena but so far I'm seeing like 30-40k max?
Edit: That's for every arena milestone, unless they come with the ranked rewards or the rest comes with Nova

    @StarFighter0717 posted a spreadsheet with all two million acorns here: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/comment/1098119/#Comment_1098119

    This assumes that we get the same number of acorns as milestones for Nova's arena run as Squirrel Girl's arenas. If that assumption holds, the maximum number of acorns achievable (with 100% Epic side quest x 28) is 2,000,052 according to her spreadsheet which essentially matches the two million acorns mentioned by @Kabam Miike .

    My original numbers were 250k short, which was 50k for full completion of Normal, 50k for full completion of Heroic, and 37.5k of milestones in the arena for all three new champ events, times two runs per champ, times two champs, for 37.5 x 2 x 2 = 150k.

    So only 150k acorns are missing? Yikes I think I'm going to be short of acorns which is yikes, I'll do the first chapter of UC and try to scrape up some units for energy to do Heroic and Normal and maybe that will put me closer

    I was a bit disappointed by the amount here as well but there are plenty of ways to get acorns

    True but for people who can't 100% EQ and do epic everyday it will be very difficult and I'm thinking I'll be like 100k off after doing the math :/

    Did you count 100k acorns for full completion of Normal difficulty?

    Another player asked if this was possible if they could only fully explore one chapter (the first one) of UC here: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/177468/i-donno-if-i-am-right-but-do-correct-me-releated-to-acorns-for-master-and-heroic-summoners. The math works out if they can snag about 60k of milestones out of the 150k that are there.

    If you don't do that full explore of chapter one, you have to make up 40k, which is still possible, you'd need to get 100k of the 150k in the arena. That's harder, unless you're an arena grinder, but still possible.

    I don't grind arena so it looks like a rip for me, I'll miss it by about 40k. No way I am going millions deep for milestones. If I do 1 chapter of UC, all the month master side qusts, 100% master, 100% heroic and normal and all the solo missions can I do it? I can probs do another chapter of UC if need be but it will be costly

    The minimum effort necessary to get 40,000 acorns in arena milestones is probably to do 80,000 points in the 3* arena (2500 acorns), 650,000 in the featured 4* arena (5000 acorns), and 250,000 points in the 5* featured arena (3750 acorns), all four times the SG and Nova arenas come around. That would be 45000 acorns. The only one of those that is any real grind is the 650k in the 4* featured. That would take, I'm guessing, maybe thirty rounds across three days? 80k in the 3* arena takes just a few rounds, and 250k in the 5* featured arena takes maybe five rounds? So this might be forty arena rounds every three days, or about 14 rounds a day.

    When you put it that way it honestly doesn’t sound bad. May take longer for me as my roster is smaller but I’ll give it a go later today
