[MEDALS] Fastest Farming
This OP is all about MEDALS FARMING
(not samples)

I've seen a wide variety of opinions on the fastest way to farm medals. In the end, players tend to believe that a certain difficulty (bots or bugs) is best.

But I've yet to see anybody suggest that 4man is not optimal. I can understand that PUGs can SNAFU/FUBAR so that would frustrate the farming rate.

I will assume that a solid 4man crew will plow a mission fastest.

What is your ideal difficulty level (bots and bugs) for fastest medals rate?

Major orders.

The #1 source of medals.

Farm trivial or easy difficulty, open only interest spot, clear the map, leave (no extraction), repeat.

Well I hear ya ... and I agree that the reward is usually good ... BUT ... those rewards happen every N days?

Allow me to assume I can do better by running missions where I can farm that many medals in hours instead of days.

I've never done that. So, you're saying we keep medals collected even if we just return to Ship?

yes that is correct

Major orders 40- 50 medlas i think
personal orders 15 medals

Or just try to focus on fast mission, like blitz or extermination.

At helldive you get for a extermination mission 8 medals in 6-8 min, if you have 4 players its ez, but boring.

Or like others said run around the map on ez difficultys and try to find medals

Just tried this on easy, 20 minutes ... for 2 medals. Not very rewarding.

You got bad luck, every container and beacon can spawn 1 or 2 sets of medals (they can also spawn super credits, support weapons and req slips though so it is all rng)
Each medal pickup can be from 1 to 3 medals
If you find a container with 2 medal pickups, you will get from 2 (2x1) to 6 (2x3)
As soon as you pick them up they are credited to your account (no extraction required)
If you go above difficulty 3, there is also a chance for rare samples to take 1 or both of the spawn spots in a container so stay on a difficulty below 4

There is no medal farm in this game. The closest thing is any 10 minute helldiver difficulty mission and major order.

Clearing all the beacons and containers in easy maps a quick way to get medals easily
Sometimes you might find medals galore in the containers, sometimes you might find req slips and an arc thrower or whatever
Just keep trying

Scout ability + friend that is also interested, scout map and call whenever you find bunkers, then return to ship.

Jetpacks, grenade piston plus Stamina and recon boosters highly recommended.

I'm using fastest stamina light armor and the jetpack ... I like it. So far, the easy levels are very stingy and there are way too many patrols ... as in a total of 5 at one point.

Actually the best way is to run on level 1 desertic map, open all things then quit then restart then quit the game and play to other game

And the best best way is to leave the game a month, then connect, obtain orders rewards spend your medals, repeat

The yield is too low. Right now my medal rate for easy is about 6 medals per hour.

I want to farm a medal rate of 50 medals / hour.
