Farming medals and Supercredits.

[Seven]

Sp, for you, whats the best difficulty or "tricks" (not hacking) to farm? Its worth higher difficulties with more rewards but more risk? Or less and easier? Solo farming?

> Diff 2 (As it doesn't spawn super samples in containers)
> choose a planet with least amount of environmental effects reducing visibility.
> Drop down with jump pack, locate Radar second objective - if you cannot see it go back to ship and repeat till it's in sight.
> Do the Radar objective, it'll uncover all stashes on the map.
> Gather whatever you can and do the main Obj, ignore nests/fabricator's and patrols.
> REPEAT.

I've been doing trivial missions when I want to farm, as the maps are generally small, so POI's are closer together so I'm not wasting a lot of time running around on a map.

Do the objective after you've checked the entire map so you avoid the increased patrol spawn after completing it.

I can usually clear a map in 10-15 minutes depending on how many POI's it has. It's also a great time to try out weapons/stratagems you haven't used before so you get a feel for them and not feel like you're burdening your team with a weak weapon that doesn't kill them fast enough, or at least stun/stagger them.

difficulty 9 playing good

6 days ago I had 5 SC

I now have 835. skill issue if you require level 1-2 farming, as its a lot slower feeling and grindy as heck (boring)

9 is the worst way to farm, mah dude. Half the spots are replaced by rocks.

incorrect, i often come out with 20-30 commons and rares 6 supers 10-30 super credits per mission.

Following up to what others above have said..
When dropping in, choose a location close to whatever secondary objective is shown on the mission map
Secondary objectives have a tendancy to spawn kinda bunched up (not always but generally)
This will give you a better chance to find the radar station early on

That literally does not change the fact that many of the super credit drops are REPLACED by samples on 9.

In 1-2 missions every single crate is intact and has Super credit potential.
You can farm 1000 credits in trivial missions in half the time your 800 took.

Diff 2. They nerfed trivial to half the 'points of interest'.

Plenty of high lvls farming on there, just hop into their games.

They need a bunker buddy.

They should add a hellbomb stratagem and it should be able to open those doors solo after a significant countdown timer.

It's not about skill - you're clearly not a real man because men are lazy and take the easiest route to any problem.

As stated previously, the map is smaller, the POI's are closer and its generally faster and easier to clear the map.

It's clearly not about skill (or the lack of). Why helldive for 40 minutes gathering 50SC if you can hit 3 Easy and clear them in 13 minutes each and gather 20SC each time?

Now if it's about fun? that's a different matter. But in this case, it's not is it? it's about farming SC.

You can do it on any difficulty but lower difficulty is the best means to farm super credits for a variety of reasons. The biggest reason is that it's just easier to get in and out without wasting any time fighting, making it the most profitable per time spent.

Another reason being that as mentioned the game adds rare samples to the loot table on higher difficulties. I don't notice much difference in regards to super credits I obtain but on paper it should have a slight effect on RNG.

Medals are better to farm in higher difficulty.

[Echo2Omega]

Play the game.

That's the trick.

[StaunchStache]

Play the highest difficulty you can manage and scour the map. Preferably with a full squad.

I once tried the easy mission method, but it's boring as sin and a waste of my time.

Playing the game normally may not be the fastest method, but at least you won't feel like commiting uncitizenship.

Yeah after they nerfed the exploit, actually completing the missions can be a bit of slog.

It's still best to just relog, but all feels like a chore now.
I stopped farming a while ago and just play 9 now. My credit intake has dropped, but I don't get bored senseless grinding 1 for hours

incorrect, they arent REPLACED. there are more POI's like legit 3-4x the pois on diff 9 all of which have a chance to give atleast 10 SC if not the lucky 100.

I did an operation literally yesterday with my friends and we got a single 100 SC on one mission and about 30-40 on the other 2.

that was a SINGLE operation that took one hour we got near 200 SC.

not to mention 33 medals for doing it, a ton of samples. and a ton of XP.

there is near to no reason to farm on low difficulty aside from skill issue or laziness.
