EDF 6 M126 Easy Weapons Farming Ranger Inferno Urban Sprawl ( Earth Defense Force 6 )

An easy end game mission that can be done for weapons farming. The tactic is the usual merry-go-round around the map edges, which works nicely on city maps.
As long as you can maintain your distance from the mob, and be far from the further 2 spawning mobs it's no big deal to do it. From the starting point, the 2 spawning mobs will be right mid-map, containing 2 different spider kings (new style and old) and normal spiders, and left mid-map, containing silver spiders and gold ants. The last spawn is easy compared to the 2 first ones, if it had a gold queen and a silver king spider this would be peachy.
The NPCs are good, particularly the WDs squad. However, NPC WDs in city map missions have a huge tendency to get stuck in tall buildings or other structures in their path, so you should ensure that in corners and at start you destroy the tall buildings where they can get stuck. Also bridges and immediate buildings in their path. The grenades are pretty good to use in EDF 6, as their usage has been enhanced a lot, so I used one for this effect and some enemy destruction too. You should also wait in the corners for them to arrive before changing direction and run in the road along the map side and not towards the center., if that's possible to minimize those issues of them getting stuck. Once the map is cleaned up for them it becomes easier. They do help a lot in distracting enemies. The mission can still be done without them, but it's more annoying.
This can be done with hard weapons too, but it's not easy and takes longer than 1 hour, so not recommended.
The weapons I used were the level 80 Orchid X-900, the 90 MR111 Fang, the level 60 MG60 grenade and level 67 Under Assist E3 enhancement. Could have used a grenade launcher or rocket and ZEXR instead. One explosive and a long range weapon.
I took some stupid risks, but as long as you keep a distance from enemies it's no big deal. Be particularly careful with king spiders as their webs can hit you from more than half the map away.
The sad thing is that the mission does provide very few weapon crates and it's impossible this isn't on purpose. In my runs I seldom got any weapon crates for either of the queen ants, which doesn't happen on other missions. Sandlot likely knew how easy this would be so they wanted to limit farming on the mission, which is ridiculous, but either I am very unlucky or this is highly suspicious that it's not by definition.
Weapon range 68-95.
Still considering everything, and that mission 40 1/2 is a bore (138), it's a good option.
Have fun,

that sequence where you were running from the spiders just steam rolling the trees and poles just proves how hard headed a soldier of the EDF really is

[@cris3f]

You do get used to do that on 6 and even on 5, particularly with the Ranger, to avoid hitting trees and poles at the wrong time instead of enemies, particularly with a long reload sniper like the MR100. It's infuriating to shoot at a important enemy and hit a tree instead.
Somewhat boring but effective and necessary sometimes.
Have fun,
