40 minute vs 12 minute missions

[Supernautilus]

I'm still a noob but I seem to notice two types of missions so far. One is those 40 minutes ones. The other is those 12 minute ones and they seem REALLY frantic. It's like you have to bum rush the whole thing or there's no way to finish it. I much prefer the longer ones where you have time to get all the side missions.

What do you guys think?

its very well finish-able, coz we doing it, your team has to just quit dealing with every bug breach, because the less time you left in mission , the more breaches you gonna face. and since there s only 12mins in that mission, you ll face breaches nonstop, why bother killing them if they gonna keep coming. rush to obj, lotta kiting,diving,chaos and rush to exfil.

Yeah I get how they work. I'm just saying I personally like the longer ones better because I don't like to rush. But that's just me.

The 12 minute ones can be completed really quickly but give terrible rewards
The 40 minute ones are indeed better and more enjoyable. That being said, medal rewards don't discriminate based on time, so if you want quicker medals, 12 minute missions are ideal

the 40 minute mission are long for you to explore the map a bit gathering ressource, the 12 minute mission are gun and run mission they barely have enought time solo. Those 12 minute mission are most of the time, save the civilian (don't do them solo), Kill x enemies (solo is possible with the right equipement) and nest type mission (Have the grenade launcher for bug and different explosive airstrike and orbite strike to automaton mission, for solo play)

Do you think that's the idea behind them? Like, the short ones are for medal farming and the longer ones are for other loot?

rewards wise both are okay. naturally searching more side missions and PoIs s not really doable in those short missions. so you ll end up with less samples/sc/medals but quicker exp/req. makes sense.

now,if you ask which one gives most exp quickest, i cant answer, i gotta hold a stopwatch for an hour in-run, and need to calculate at end, which i dont really care atm, because after lv20 until 50 exp is pointless also requisition aswell.

I think they are for different time availability/style. If you play enough 40mn missions, eventually you'll get bored. 12mn missions are labeled as blitz, which makes sense given what you need to do. There are also 10mn missions that are defence. (think arenas with waves)
