Infinite exp exploit?

[Doing gens, you?]

Is it possible? Since soldiers get exp from kills, I was thinking I could keep doing the blacksite mission over and over, killing all the aliens and then evacing but not completing the objective so I could do it again. As long as my soldier don't get wounded, could I just do that to level all my soldiers up? Or do the soldiers lose the kill exp if they fail the mission?

While your're hacking the Avatar project stats also hack the xp stats :)

Or there's the 'Defend the Avenger' mission that literally has unlimited reinforcements.

They get exp if you evacuate them without completing the objective. But eventually you'll have to complete those missions because of Doom's Day Clock, which is Avatar Project.

Just mod the Ini file, search for the line that has to do with exp and voila

If you evac the blacksite you lose contact with the region and must spend time and intel to reestablish contact

Your soldiers can only get enough XP in one mission to earn one promotion, so even though you could camp there forever, they'd only get one promotion each (though it's a good opportunity to get extra promotions for your reserve Soldiers I suppose).

I think this is why you also don't get any items from that mission (and a couple similar ones where reinforcements continuously get called in).

Actually, they do earn kills, they just can't level up more than once per mission. Upon getting a kill in the next mission they'll immediately level up and so forth. Apparently anyways, I'm going by what others have stated. :P

I've heard the same thing as Spyke, namely that soldiers continue to earn XP even after gaining a promotion mid-mission, but that they can only rank up once per mission.

In the .ini files you will find that there's a cap on the amount of xp any 1 soldier can earn in a mission.

[Mhblis]

They will earn XP until next level -1. This is how it worked in EU/EW and there is nothing in the code that says they changed that.

the clock turns on after so many days...it has nothing to do with if you ran the black site mission or not....on that note however it is better to do the blacksite mission after the advent clock kicks in as you can get credit towards the pips and can knock it down to 2 straight away.
