No bugs, uses an existing mechanic where when you die every kill you do increases your scrap timer. Get this over 5 min and successfully picking up the scrap gives you 2X or 1.5X the scrap you dropped. Do this a few times and the gains are exponential.

O_o

How? Why?
In new game?
I thought I was high at level 80 at the final boss -.-

Can do this at any point in the game where there are enough enemies which you can kill fast and consistently....

its not all its cracked up to be.

[ WraithGear]

but yea, it took me about 45 min to get that amount, but about an hour to spend it.

He used the scrap exploit before 1.04 patched it.

[Neunmalklug]

it is no exploit. its a hidden game mechanik. or it was a hidden game mechanik

[MundM]

Ah, ok,so cheating it is, and not an achievement.

He probably used cheat engine. He is level 39 and had to add an implant to gain +6 core power. Why not just level up 6 times? Just weird. Seems fishy.

>_> really? It is so easy to do legitimatly, and the devs put the way in the game themselves. its a feature of the game for crying out loud!

Here is how i did it.
-You get a decent amount of scrap, like lets say 10.000.
-You go to the first ops in the game.
-get purposly killed by the 2 concussion drones near that ops shourtcut.
-respawn at the ops and kill everything as fast as you can along the loop starting at the limb targeting tutorial.
-get the timer pushed up to 5:00 and pick up dropped scrap, you will pick up 15.000.
-get killed by the concussion drones, repete process...
22.500
33.750
50.625
75.937
113.906
170.859
256.289
384.433
576.650
864.975
1.297.463
and so on

a single loop takes about 3 minutes.

And also this does not change the game much with the exception of:
- not being hurt for core power, but the inplants and armor is progresion gated, the benefits your core level influences your stat boosts are effected by harsh diminishing reterns

-drone damage. at level 800 they now do 23 damage. woo

-you can NEVER get replenishment on your injectables durring play as that requiers you to gain enough scrap to go up a level. in my case 5 MILLION!

-everything else is exactly the same as it would be.

the old scrap exploit would have taken FOREVER if I did the old exploit. the one where you break down the armor peoces for scrap? yea. think about that. how long would it take to get 1 billion with that method.?

I would say being max level at the start of the game is game breaking...or are you literally trying to tell me being level 800 is the same as being level 20 at the first boss? Yeah right, diminishing returns, yet, you still max out the possible health pool and what not mod you get at this point, while you just have your level 20 scaling of that mod...

Anyway, farming is there to make the game easier if you get stuck at a certain point duo to difficulty. If you like to overcome a challenge by maxing out, then more power too you, but it sure doesn't sound like fun to me.

I wonder how necessary is this kind of farming. You can farm easily few million of scraps in R&D running towards Bloodied Proteus and back while you also get materials for crafting. Granted doing this in first map of the game is borderline risk-free compared to R&D where you can die if things go awfully wrong--those security bots can be a ♥♥♥♥♥ at times.

This way of farming scraps has very little impact on your first time playthrough because you will be limited by your mods rather than scraps. If you have 1 or 2 Vitality boosts v.1, you can be level 999 and you wont have any more health than lvl 20 or so, which is perfectly possible to do before facing PAX.

i am telling you being level 800 at the beginning of the game is not game breaking. you forget that your access to implants is progression gated, and the slots available is limited by the rig which is progression based so you tell me what implants do you have access to before PAX? it makes no difference after spending 1 billion scrap. Except you cant regain injectables
