Earning currency as a solo player

[Lyratulia]

I was so glad to see private lobbies allowing me to play offline-ish as it's impossible for me to have a stable ping to play online games at the moment. I've went through 3 or 4 operations with bots and had no issue gameplay-wise, but as far as rewards goes it feels like a waste of time.

At the very best, I spend 30mins clearing a whole mission, and it's not uncommon for them to take upwards of a whole hour. The only thing I get at the end is about half a bar of class XP and 30-40 of the in game currency. Maybe I didn't understand something, but I feel like this is an awful rate for what's essentially having to do a 3 man's work for that long (which means higher difficulties get exponentially harder compared to normal circumstances).

If anyone has suggestions about this I'm listening

The higher difficulties provide a lot more XP, but they require a team of above average players to complete consistently. It's not that hard to solo the first two difficulties with the bots, but the higher ones require other players.

If you're grinding levels with bots I recommend bee lining to objectives and ignoring the mobs. The bots will teleport to you eventually if you get too far ahead. This will cut down on the time it takes to complete ops. It will still take 15 - 20 minutes depending on the op, but it shouldn't be taking anywhere near an hour.

Yeap, you obtain currency at a rather slow rate and there is no good shortcuts around it to my knowledge.

Your best bet is to try and move to ruthless difficulty as soon as possible for bigger currency rewards. Though it also takes some time before you level up at least 1 class and at least one weapon high enough for that to be comfortable.

If you didnt do it yet, complete Class Trials for every class, it will give you a decent chunk of currency in total.

Thanks for the tips guys, yeah I think i got my head stuck on trying to klll every single mob every time when I could have just rushed through them, should def cut down some time

Yup, like it was said, start from completing all Class Trials. It is a good boost at the beginning. The rest - you basically have to go higher difficulty right now for bigger reward.

From one perspective - it looks like solo missions has to be rewarded higher rather than in a group, cause it is easier with real people. However, generally, after they've updated the bots - quite often they are more or less equal to most of the players on various difficulties in terms of outcome. From another perspective, if devs will do that - it will force people to play more solo for faster grind, making PvE operations which were meant to be co-op content from the beginning - a bit redundant idea. So probably devs wouldn't change smth in this direction and the only way to increase reward - to get to higher difficulties. You'll have to do anyway at some point to earn purples and yellows for your weapons.

Yeah, killing the mobs on it's own won't give you a better reward in requisition points cause rewards are fixed, no matter what you've done through the mission. However you can increase XP, by having better stats than bots (you can see it on summary screen, when you getting bonus for MVP in various categories) and by looting gen seed each run.

yeah , facing that purple wall and hitting it hard... its really slow getting purple solo, the amount of effort to put in to it with a bulwark is like a 1hr run for maybe 1 some times rarely two purple chits ,and when you max out green to 20. and you cant use them i wish there was a conversion you can use... cause other wise im leaving them behind ..
