State of EXP grinding (Arena)

[Phobosius]

The Sleeper level barely gives any EXP even on hard difficulty, and other levels are just too hard to do without guns, can we please get a better way to grind EXP? Super annoying for anything that isn't guns (acrobatics and unarmed are a nightmare to grind...)

XP seems to be dealt out in percentages. Do a hard level with only throwing weapons (or just simply throwing anything) for acrobatics, and only use your fists for unarmed. If you don't use guns or melee, you will be given the total XP to these groups only

The problem is I run out of throwing weapons quickly, and it's simply inefficient to throw around weapons. I also tend to die when only using throwing weapons, same goes for using only unarmed, as the DPS is just not there until you get to to core 3.

You might be underestimating how strong melee weapons are when you throw them, especially the hooks. For throwing weapons, they are extremely strong on unarmoured enemies. Bind the throw button to something like 3 and spam them. When you reach the bosses, change to a stronger weapon. Provided you have killed enough goons, using a gun to kill the bosses will not detract too much XP. Unarmed is not as easy to farm, but you need to work your way up and not punch above your weight when farming it.
