[Exploit] Scrapyard Nexus Farm
I am unsure if anyone else has mentioned this but I found an easy xp and loot farming method. For context xp is affected by both loot and amount of kills you get. Now what place has a consistent amount of squishies and a closeby extraction area? Scrapyard Nexus. So now how do we abuse this. First get some ammo, I suggest you get an ak and 20 or 10 extra ammo, it should be a one hit headshot so even without bringing ammo you can manage. At the very start of the game click on the timed extract, as the timer goes down wait in this spot.

Spot to wait in

At around 40 secs or 50 secs start killing the zombies, go for headshots since those are insta kills. Their AI is very easy to predict. If you are quick enough you should have enough time to kill all the zombies and loot them all. the ones that are fast and walk on fours are the hard ones, usually just shotgun them. another wave will come if you have saved enough ammo you can wipe them clean. at this point extract timer should be finished already, because of this if you get caught by the soldiers or get overruned you can easily just run to extract. You can also opt to continue the run and just find water, extract wont vanish or anything.

XP Proof with evac time, could be better, kind of a sad run

If you get a friend you can clear all waves, from our experience max was 4 waves

Xp we got from clearing all waves together. (here we took longer cause we took our time just looting the best items but im sure you can get an even faster time)

Anyways yeah saying this incase devs didn't intend this to be a game feature and for those who want to farm up their prestige or credits (while it doesn't get patched yet)

your melee kills these in 2 hits, and most small enemies in general die in 2 hits. Your melee has AOE, and can hit multiple enemies in front of you. This is a nice map. If you wanted to go further, theres more enemies to fight. You will have the most stable game experience on this map, as its significantly smaller.

Overall though I don't see a point in farming experience / grinding for it. The only benefit is 40 more HP per level, and maybe occasionally a boost in movement speed. In general you are not intended to fight, and If you do fight, hunters will come and destroy you, not to mention if you cant demolish the enemies fast, reinforcements will kill you.

I mean you can also use the xp for the other skills based on the person you use which I think has value as well, but yeah I get your point, the game is meant to be more on stealth but increased stats increase your options incase you do need to fight. Plus you can easily get different parts to sell as well through this method, zombies can still drop expensive items making it a nice credit farm

But i disagree with no need to farm xp, prestige is 25 levels, 40hp per prestige is 1000 extra hp to get, that like more than double the hp for girl scav. Obviously tho doing this for levels is extremely boring when you can just play the game HAHAHAH but its something to do if you just want to get levels and not think about anything.

Also didn't know melee was AOE, that goes hard.

I'm not even far enough to have known you can use a 20mm turret HAHAHA, you could probably get an insanely quick time with this

Everyone all crazy about Scrapyard Nexus, meanwhile I have a hard time extracting from it lol
In my case, I just go Mech Trenches, depending on the "Lockable Doors" layout, it is the best farm of all for me, plenty of money, easy Hunter Killer components, easy all around 90% of the time.

Great for weapon EXP as well

Yes and no sure we are not intended to fight but I can face tank 10 borgs shooting at me because I pressed 4. Medipacks need an animation lock which would solve this issue. Reduce stagger when getting shot and reduce stagger recovery as well as incoming damage b 10 % -15% and this will offset the ability to not run away and heal

Occasionally I have done this in the past, mowing down Cyberzombies with my RPK or SAW. But I hadn't thought to bring a 20mm turret or IEDs, good idea.
