LFA: Farm Runs and Getting Gold

[TooLateToTalk]

Looking for Advice. I'm still building up and need to do a lot more farming. Especially Gold. However these 90k doors slow me down. I just had a map with four of them and no power banks.

I'm currently using the missiles but the wait of 30 seconds makes it a long run.

Any other options?

Or does someone have a good process for farming Gold?

Thanks

Use the inferno Xen and 3 damage rotors for more damage and rate of fire with a operator who has the infinite ammo ability. Assuming you have decent enough damage output, you should go through the door in one go. Either that or have enough energy to not care spending 30

Another way would be to load a scatter shot with battering rams, which is what i am using now. I used the inferno setup before because I didn't have the right mods at the time

As for gold in general, grab as much stuff as possible and by the end of the tour have as many risk cards that gives x% of Valuables/Materials/Everything you recovered that you can handle.

For example Wanted - Building Materials, gives 200% worth of gold based on your recovered building materials, which is basically any loot that is listed as materials in your base storage

Or Great Force which gives 100% of Materials you recovered. Same thing the one above really, don't know they are worded differently for functionally the same effect

I don't know how many hours you have or what base design you are working with so I will just say to stack as many risks like these as you are able to safely handle and go from there

Thank you very much.

yeah what hyrinth said about risks. Im a slow player so im only on snow map but doing a snow map 2 with all my energy spent on risks in the recovery map i tend to pull out with a 100k gold per full campaign run. Keep in mind im not autoing the maps but playing them myself as i enjoy the looting phase. Will ofcourse be alot less if you auto. :-)

If your map has that tower that spawns with the cable-receptacle and energy ball, you can attach the power cable to that door and the power surge should open it. And if it is that white building with the power bank console at the base of the stairs, there's a hatch on the roof that should take some keycard.

If you have arty or smart mortars, they can also destroy doors or better said, the hatch on top of the building.

But like others said before, Fae with inf ammo skill and a fast firing xen will usually burn through these doors quite easy.

At later stages it doesn't matter anymore, because then you should be able to oneshot these doors easy.
