How to get Samples fast

[Banker Wins]

Does anyone have any method or strategy to farming Samples?

Seems like the meta strat is to kill your own teammates and pick them up off the ground at this point.

go for the lowest difficulty the specific sample youre looking for appears and check the vistas, nests, etc?

Just hit every poi

Just play the game normally and check out every point of interest.

by not ignoring PoIs and rushing obj to obj like headless chicken.
sry, im not mad at you or anything, its just many ingame doing that. clueless about samples are most hardest / rarest currency to farm.

i think people right now are trying to reach lvl 20, so theyll go for the quicker missions, its more exp/hour than a 40mins exploration.

yes, i know that the mats are much more needed for upgrades, and theyll learn that too. just have some patience, or form a squad of likeminded peeps :)

yes, do very long and hard missions, if the team searches for them you can get over 20.
Defense missions also have about 10 but thats very risky since you can lose them in the evacuation

I like it long and hard, what I don't like is pulling out in the middle because the game kicked everyone on the team from the servers.

Easiest way to obtain them is to do Extermination missions. Maps will have 8 to 12 samples and the mission lasts maybe 2 minutes if you know what you are doing.

The big maps can have almost 40 samples, but it takes forever to find them all. On Extermination they're all in a few easy to find spots.

visiting all POI
hunt all the nest (yes it have a sample in it)
playing on lvl 7 difficulty and DO NOT RUSH OBJECTIVE
use all the time you have and you will get at lest 30 sample per mission

This works only for Green Samples.

Find an Eradicate mission on Medium, Challenging, or Hard. All difficulties drop the same amounts, but you can swap difficulties to check missions on a planet since those rotate.

Each mission will take around 3-4 minute tops and depending on the planet each eradicate mission can have 7 or 15 samples. Samples spawn at the same positions every time.

Pick the right difficulty for the samples you want to gather, for simple and rare, split your team into 2 pairs and comb every POI on the map.

For super samples, find a good fourstack and learn what the super sample poi (big rock looks like an upside down pear) looks like on the map, pick the highest difficulty your are comfortable doing and rush the objective while also grabbing the super sample POI.

Don't do that. The samples are given to everyone. Being the one to bring them home does nothing for you other than a meaningless stat on the end of screen scoreboard, or an achievement for taking home over 15, which you'll get through natural play anyway.

The achievement procs if your team has enough samples as a whole.
