Better way to earn battle pass XP legit

[Frost]

Im aiming for the doctor plague mask , almost there but theres any other way quicker between mission time/xp/difficult?

Why the rush?

Not only is the Season gonna be around for at least another 4-5 months, but you can still get it after the Season is over.

Pretty much just come in every 3 days and do the 3 missions as efficiently as possible.
Honestly that's what killed the game for me, having tasks made the game feel not as worth doing when you had no tasks to do, instead of just playing the game. Same thing happened with Team Fortress 2.

didn't we just have this thread?

guess I'll just copy over what I said there

honestly just play missions you enjoy, longer missions have higher odds of granting plaguehearts but also take more time, shorter missions have smaller chances but don't take as long so either one will give you a pretty similar xp progression, and the pass will feel less overall time consuming if you have fun on the way, plus as others said theres tons and tons of time left so you aren't in any hurry necessarily

now with that manditory "play the game normally and have fun" out of the way I do actually have some tips when it comes to meteors/plaguehearts atleast with my experience

firstly avoid lithophage outbreak missions, not only do these make missions take longer to complete you also can't get large meteors or corruptors on them making them way worse for pass xp speed

small or big your first meteor will ALWAYS arrive within the first 10 minutes of the mission, if you reach the 10 minute mark and haven't gotten one then it's safe to leave because you will never get a second meteor unless you got the first one within that time frame (the second meteor will also always arrive within 10 minutes after the first one, so if you get one meteor at 5:00 into the mission the second will arrive or telegraph it's arrival before 15:00 into the mission

make sure to cover the whole map in case a corruptor spawned in since those are also 3 free plaguehearts, they also count as a meteor in the sense that you won't get 2 meteors in that mission AFAIK, i've only ever gotten 1-0 meteors if a corruptor was spawned as well

point extraction, egg hunt, refinery, and salvage are all pretty good choices for meteor farming since they all have a pretty consistent completion time but also don't take 2 minutes (except egg hunt but you can safely wait around on there if you wanna play it safe since egg hunt spawns are minimal)

also if you don't care for the cosmetic tree or prefer the stuff on the seasonal pass reroll all your lithophage outbreak scrip assignments for more pass XP, playing in lithophage missions is way worse for earning plaguehearts anyways

personally when I was working on the pass I also only played solo with the occasional game with friends before all my friends i normally play with dropped this update from lack of interest i just went through solo missions at whatever speed was needed depending on meteor spawns and listened to youtube videos in the background, it's actually pretty relaxing for grinding

Also fair warning: the plague doctor mask with the hat in this season's pass doesn't change color with your armor paint so good luck visually fitting it into a loadout

I stopped playing TF2 about 4 years ago. I just feel I don't have the motivation anymore to get back to it. Although I did sell valuable items I used to have and thought it was worth it when I was trying to get a starting gpu at the time.

Stingtails and rockpox are no longer an issue, completing the battle pass is the new topic of the week.
