Tips to level up hunters to level 50?

[peep]

I'm trying to get the achievement. I currently am 11/25 and it's been frustrating lately as 3 or 4 level 40+ hunters have been killed. I know I'll get the achievement eventually but I'd like to speed up the process.

well easiest and safest way is probably just going crossbow and killing meatheads and monsters in compounds silently while staying away from fights... It's slow but relatively safe.

Otherwise its fights, but that can end either way. Probably safest staying far away from players and sniping i guess

Not a bad idea. I'll try it out later, I used to farm monsters but got bored of doing so.

Take a different hunter everytime you get out of a round alive.
Until you have like 15-20 hunters which are level 20-30.
Then repeat the process using these 15-20 hunters.
You eventually end up with some of them reaching 50.

This method is easy, does not demand any changes in your favorite gameplay behavior and is quite effective.

When you get really close to level 50, play it safe. Sneak around the map killing AI. In fact, just straight up avoid players completely if you really want level 50. I got 2 Hunters to 50 (unintentionally) in a single night as a solo by just prioritising my weekly and not caring about PVP. Use traits that help this gameplay style.

I like that one. I tend to get attached to a hunter and usually play them til they die/retire. So I'll try this out.

Kill grunts etc and stay in the grey areas of the map, also on the outskirts, avoid pvp. Get searching rooms for posters of hunter xp etc also

Apparently this needs to be said for some reason but you need to scale your loadouts with your lvls if you want to hit 50.

I still don't understand why I keep seeing lvl 1 hunters with 800$ loadouts and then I see lvl 30+ hunters going meme with springfield bleed.

just wipe out whole server and get double bounties
its super easy
you just need to do it once or twice then your hunter will reach lvl 50 easily

It's a good point. I've been taking less stuff with me and seem to be having better luck.

Well during this event you can "farm" the hunter xp posters pretty easily, and they get you double the xp that these posters would normally give you.

So everytime you walk past any tower always check with dark sight if something is up there to be collected (you need a pledge mark in order to break their seals though). It's an additional 8000 hunter xp if you have 4 pledge marks and that can give you some pretty good levels, especially if you do this with an already leveled up hunter (for example a level 30 hunter).

Otherwise as people already suggested you can farm tons of AI with a crossbow, even a handcrossbow is fine if you want to have a winfield or vetterli to deal damage on range on other players. Staying out of fights is the easiest method to reach level 50 with your hunter, though it's super boring. But if you're willing to power through that it is the easiest way for sure, but not everybody would like to do that.

If you want to get some sweet extra xp it's advisable to kill and banish the boss. Getting there fast is easily done if you have conduit that gives you a 3 minute stamina boost per picked up clue and a sticky bomb that works for every boss besides the assassin (it can work on him too, but I wouldn't advise you to do the sticky bomb method on the assassin unless you know what you're doing). Once you banished the boss you can leave the compound and farm for AI. Best case scenario you're able to stop the enemy players who picked up your bounty and kill them, hoping that they've been the last team on the server. That way you get the cleansweep bonus for money and xp, and have some additional kills too, though it's again risky to do so. So only do that if you're confident in your loadout and position, otherwise keep your head low and be happy that you got the kill and banish xp for the boss.
