Horde mode farming

[SolidGreenDay]

Been a while since I went back to this game. Left before XL and weapon revamp system happened. So where do people go for doing hordes? still regular horde mode or XL horde mode? and which difficulty?

Having a hard time trying to find decent lobbies with the amount of dud lobbies I joined no matter what difficulty

You can farm with both. XL hordes can be a bit difficult, especially if the randoms hoard points and refuse to spend on defenses, which, they always seem to do.
Best you can do is team up with one friend or more, and do it your way. You have pretty much the same xp gain, I think in both horde and XL mode. The hard difficulty changes that though. You can also do horde mode challenge, which gives you one general mutator and 1 random one that changes each wave, that mode gives quite a lot more xp and money. As usual, reach wave 40 for maximum rewards. No reason to go further, unless you are trying to set a record (i think record is 92 and it took them like 6 hours straight so good luck in that case).

-Rewards stop at wave 37 or 38
-Electric grids are best defenses, but will burn out after 20 kills so shoot zeke off them
-Exterminator has skill to keep defense kits with 20% chance and adds to the defense health/kills of defenses
-Do not buy the XL bank (Atleast not on Tokyo, I don't play the others enough to know their strats), a fence or 2 and a browning will clear the entire wave
-Fire from claymores, mollies, etc helps with area denial
-Make sure someone always has atleast 150 points to repair the main gate in-case of emergency
-Only buy defenses for the spots you need
