They might be nerfing West Tek EXP.

Apparently on the PTR West Tek Super mutants don't really spawn at level 100 anymore and cap at 75. Get your grind on now if they haven't already nerfed them in public.

Expeditions are just as good these days and they're less stress on the server due to better optimization. So let me play you a song on this violin.

I never ran WestTek after the MSQs. But I ran the Pitt expeditions.
Each once and I had alot of UI/Waypoint bugs with the 2nd one.
In general, they were pretty awful while I could see how WestTek is alot more comfy and straight forward.
How are the Atlantic City ones in comparison to Pitt?

Tax evasion is the easiest (personally) of the AC expeditions. Rewards are ok enough. Makes a decent farm for stamps/treasury notes, exp and some other stuffs. Definitely better than Pitt on that one. The rest might be iffy, since Overgrown have mobs that act as healers, which can make things a hot mess pretty quick.

Atlantic city is mostly far superior to the pitt. Tax Evasion is pretty easy and usually straight forward, can be ran pretty quickly though buttercup can be a bit of a sponge for some weapon types.

The Most Sensational Game rewards you for being fast, (literally its the optional objective) and is mostly easier, theres a optional objective to find a teddy bear that can be annoying and if you have the one to escort a npc around and protect them while they get blood thats kind of annoying but not exactly hard.

Both of those feature human enemies, with a dash of bloom in tax evasion and a handful of mirelurks in The Most Sensational game.

The last one in atlantic city is The Human Condition which almost exclusively pits you against bloom enemies, so this one is a pain if you have a weak or slow firing weapon but if you have a flamer or cremator, stupid easy - the final enemy drops dead in seconds from fire.

K. imagine poo pooing variety in game content.

From what I've researched, the only thing that's ever been better than west tek for exp was the overgrown data farm that they emergency patched out because people were having too much fun leveling faster and *gasp* in a team on a multiplayer game.

What expedition is the go to to spam over and over again just like you have to do on west tek? We've been doing the flooded city since most runs can be done in 7-10 minutes. you might get 2-3 levels in 20 minutes, still not as fast as west tek and you're still speedrunning content. I was farming stamps until i realized that Union power armor has been removed multiple times and there is no time table as to when it will return.

Honestly, the most enjoyable exp We've done has been Uplinks during double ops weekends with the right enemy mods. still not as fast as west tek, but you get ammo, meds, legendaries, currencies, and it can be done with friends.

Yep best Expedition there is, good for ammo, best for stamps, gear and weapon rewards are crap but i use it for scripts. Love to do Tax Evesion do afew runs every day.

Thank you for all the replies. Appreciate it.

the flooded city one can be completed in about 7-10 minutes once you've done it a few times. i just run straight through it, blow up groups of enemies on the way. with 2-3 people and exp boosts/public expidition team bonus you can cap out the 20k exp/completion.

The strings for all the Super Mutants got changed inadvertently on the PTS. They're all named Super Mutant Warlord now which is incorrect. A level 40 Super Mutant is typically named Butcher. It's incorrectly overridden in the ESM. So all Super Mutants will now be capped level 40 - 75.

I play have level 100 on test server

[Wack-A-Mole MLRS]

I talked to Maul, said He would check it out. Says they are all whimps down there anyway.

[AlexSledge]

Go in, kill the level 100 ones, go out - don't waste resources on the rest.

Hopefully while they're fixing West Tek, they fix the issue where all graphics and performance is hosed when you come back up the elevator.
