I like the first combo Farm you presented at first gave me an idea to do one for everything else I need I guess in a way I have been doing that I hate the mindless stationary farm I like to be on the move 😁
With 50% additional weapon proficiency in infiltration operations set your farming external components for additional weapon proficiency gain; add gold, Kuiper, character exp, etc. Do Agna Desert Asylum with your mobbing character SOLO. Get to the final boss room and kill all the mobs till the boss spawn; die to the boss, rinse and repeat 7 times, then complete the mission. We are talking mass EXP gains, almost 600k gold, 80k Kuiper, and more weapons, components, than you can hold to break down in about 15 minutes. (Plus 2 Materials) OR follow the tips on these TH-cam videos and go into public operations and take 10x longer because its full of nothing but copy and paste scrubs looking to get carried. Almost everyone of these content creators for TFD are only showing best case scenario.
The Asylum is good XP. The last room is nuts in density. Weapon XP less so but still good with componet buff + event + consumable buff, but doesn't help me when I want to level Hailey. 😢
@@ChickenJoe2.5I’m also not interested in heavily investing to do one of these only for it get patched after I spent hours grinding to find the right descendant or weapons to do this… and now it’s not possible. I’d rather something like invasion exp is also applied to weapons so I can just do whatever dungeon I want to actually do.
On console it's especially clunky to abort farm. Agree with the sentiment I'd rather just play the game and level "organically". 10 catas and releveling (or more) to have some build flexibility is just fucking stupid, not even talking about the time to farm and craft the catas in the first place.
@@ChickenJoe2.5actually the game is very fun. People just get stuck on using the same characters who are meta instead of just playing your own way. You don’t have to abort missions just do the whole damn mission 😂😂😂
another thing you can do is be the "doorman" echo swamp bunny run: just stand at the mission start point and START the mission and the bunnies clear the mission FAST then you just Start the mission...every once and a while you can run behind and scoop tons of Gold Reactors and loot.

Thanks once again Tux! I thought I was doing something wrong with these farms, as it also took me 40+ min. and I also hate quitting out the whole time. I have a tip for you when doing Outposts. Put a "waypoint Marker" on the outpost, and it will then display the countdown timer onscreen. Then you don't have to go into your map menu the whole time to see how long before the next one. Keep up the great work!
I agree… I spent almost the entire day today adding catalyst to my shotgun I had to do it 8 times took me hours. started by 9am and was done by 5pm it’s crazy to have to do this for just one weapon.

Totally. I’ve played Jayber since day one and beat everything in the game and have fun with him. But he’s been d tier on everyone’s rankings and was told to not even use him almost every day. I laugh when I’m standing in the lava face tanking pyro with my healing turret keeping me full health no matter what I’m hit with. And I’m unloading built enduring the whole time. But yup….

I am right there with you, it feels like a job or chore just to try to get where you can play the game. I think that every time you use a catalyst, you gain a 5% xp boost on that weapon or descendant until you get to 40% or 50% on Descendants, that way if you add another catalyst for the build, it will allow you to do it pretty fast. I like leveling but releveling all the time across all the different descendants and weapons, it's way worse of a grind than Division 2 is.
Dude, i hate borting missions... Plus i play on steam deck... Your leveling "guide" earned you a like, subscribe, and follow. The guide is awesome. Hate how catalysts and activators are gated so highly. Hate doing "straight xp" feels like cheating myself.
To reduce some of the pain of weapon proficiency leveling, the developers could make it so that all three (3) equipped weapons gain as much/the same xp as the weapon in your character's hand (the "mounted") weapon. This would provide for more opportunities to play the game. For example, with the event providing bonus weapon xp for dungeons ("infiltrations"), you could run them with a newly unlocked descendant, with an already leveled weapon, plus their best in slot weapon that needs leveling. There will, of course, still be the most efficient weapon xp farms for certain builds, but this would open up the game a little bit. If people thought this would make it too easy, it could be made as an event, or make it so that the first two equipped weapons gain the most xp, not all three equipped weapons, i.e., it can be scaled.
The devs have done more than enough to support you lot. You have 50% xp buff because of your constant moaning. Get real, dude. You're honestly trying to order KFC at a full service restaurant.
Good Job Bro. for character xp I suggest bio lab. You can't get more xp anywhere else in the system, it's 192k per run. If you do it solo with bunny you have 2 guaranteed patterns per run, use the 150% bonus, and you need 6 runs from 0 to 40 which take approx. 6-7 minutes per run. I had no boosters active. At the same time, you also level up your weapon, you get gold, kuiper and material. i did it 20 times on each of the both pattern. i did level up 7 times my character, 3 times the weapon, got 1 energy activator and 3 Chrystal Catalysts. of course, the time to kill the boss then to get the Catalysts is extra time. All in all it took me about 8 hours but i split it in 4 sessions over 4 days. That's a realistic secenario for every player and not those 20 minutes clickbait videos where you take 1.5h anyway without any extra material or patterns. Again really usefull Video
Great guides! Thanks! I found that running Asylum with the best ring you can get not High-Voltage mod is the best. I can get like 20-30% of my mission time down just like that. It's a huge difference when constantly 1 of the HV is targeting the immune thingy in the middle of mission or the ring just crash everyting in one go.
Great video 🤣🤣 getting unlimited morph materials, mats, and XP with the new event buff going plus gold weapon efficiency its ridiculously easy to level now. Ive seen literally nobody talking about it except you just now. Ive just been grinding Magister lab since i can solo it with an average time of like 2:45 to 3 minutes get tons of easy XP crafting materials from breaking down everything and morph materials for executioner who i can nuke with my basic Hailey build in 2 cycles of her Ult since she so OP right now.
Asylum is better XP but swamp walker morphs. Even the Shelter is fast if you want to beat up on devourer who you can 3 tap with Hailey rather easily (prolly 2 tap mine is mid and it's 2 if I double crit).
@@grumpyoldman6503 I do mag lab because of how fast and easy it is 🤣💀 and getting supernova sets is a big plus since I already have a decent full slayer set. If I wanted to run one one based off the overabundance of Xp I'd farm up the heart of the fortress because that gives the most XP out of all the infiltrations and its rather easy when your soloing it cause my bunny can 1 bang most enemies with my build and the boss is a pushover when you have a maxed Greg's like I do. I haven't invested anything but a mushroom tip in my Hailey so swamp walker takes awhile.
I said the same thing soon as this 50% weapon XP event went live; do it for every activity and not just infiltration ops… The only way to really take advantage of it is if you run certain ops solo & a lot of people (including myself) hate to do that 🤷🏽♂ I personally prefer the kuiper mining op or the bunny cave but then you have to rely on luck getting matched with a couple of bunnies to make both faster
Thank you for testing all these but like you said the best strategy is to layer your xp farm while going after patterns or farming reactors/components... Sure it may be slower but it feels better knowing your working towards multiple goals besides just staring at your xp bar
Moonlight lake is twice as fast if you have two people one non att starting it and then viessa killing ads. However, I really enjoyed the level giide you made where it takes you to resorces you need while leveling instead of mindlessly leveling. would love to see more videos like this for weapon parts from amorphis or even decendents. side note to get xp from the monsters you have to either get the kill OR be in the active mission the monsters are in. This can make ones like bunny cave inconsistant.
The vesper fragment abort reset needs two people and a viessa spamming blizzard with max range (join the near by mission first so you don’t have to abort, only the person who’s activating the fragment abort spams. I clear the two waves in less than 3 seconds with blizzard spam+ reset from teammate. The strat you were doing is extremely slower. Turning what could be a 3-5 second clear/reset into your 8-12 second x 50+ runs is a lot worse.
Its still a crap experience even under the most idea circumstances. With the new Kings Guard Lance changes, more solo camps open up but are the same general idea- shard farm to kill as many mobs as quickly as possible. Beyond being repetitive and boring, it also is unrewarding in terms of mats etc for the time spent. It's ONLY xp and not even 1 type of shards if you bother to kill all the waves.
I think it's only a problem because people want to max out weapons asap. If you dont focus on it and just make sure you have your weapon equipped while doing other things it will be maxed out before you know it. I never grinded to max out my Thunderxage. It was just always my weapon of choice and it was always level 40 before I even realized. But if anything they should just add the same exp boost to weapon ant the end of operations that decendants get.
Absolutely agree. What's different here as compared to other games like Warframe is, when you prestige a weapon it doesn't lose power but gains as long as you upgrade or stick in a new mod. In Warfame when you reset a level on weapons, it's basically a pea shooter again until you level it back up. I think a lot of people are looking at TFD the wrong way. As long as you're catalyzing and playing you're constantly gaining power and things just get easier and easier.
Less xp would be better than giving more xp i think. But they're trying to force you to buy xp boosts but in this video the test shows it only took him less than 3 minutes less time? So thats basically useless and a waste of money
Another Banger of a video bro!! Mad props to you for letting the community know where we can get the most juice for the squeeze! See you in the next one!
How do I make TFD project manager watch the first 5 minutes of your video? I feel like the way you explained it in the beginning is what they NEED to hear! Burnout lane. Aren’t they trying to figure out why they’re dropping players left and right? I’m not saying this is the reason, we all know there are plenty of other reasons, but this is definitely contributing and it’s one of the easier things to fix.
i find asylum atm the best yes is true you farm 1 weapon in x time but on that i get code breakers,amorpheus,energy residue,particle,alsooo other 2 weapons you carry get lvls by the time 1 is 40 others are 20+ and maybe 15+ so you need start from zero if you switch for MR
For the event asylum is crazy if you run solo or 2 man group, you can wipe at the end and refresh the ads at the end or just keep speed running and get tons of weapon xp, amorphous and weapon materials
Im glad someone said this in another comment. This is literally the best. Bunny cave didn't give me a single level... each pass through the end of Asylum is a couple levels. Like 5 or something
My Esiemo wrecks on special operations, I often do 1-2 billion damage. Not sure why but people are sleeping on Esiemo for AOE farming. He is way more fun than Bunny. You only need to use ONE ability and max all range you can. Esiemo devastates special ops. 2 billion damage bro
Just noticed your component for firearm xp is also the one that's supposed to have mp recovery modifier on it. If you're trying to chain the viessa outpost as fast as you can then you're gonna need that on it or else you're gonna have to spend a little time to regen enough mp to do another run. After constantly doing your time is gonna add up.
thats a lame excuse and not the issue. These people are flat out lying and never show a full video of them farming from 1-40 in said time frame. Its always cut video etc
honorable mention for fortress outskirts maybe? tons of kuiper + gold, xp for descendant and weapon and fairly ok time for doing it solo. took me 45 min with weapon xp token, purple proficiency modifier and without bionic fuel. abort when all 4 are at 100% and restart.
Stopped doing the bunny cave when the roll was nerfed If you don't care about farming the catalyst do this I'm mastery 22 but have every base gun to level 40 Including the the blues from the early game I did them in the hard operation mission asylum With the event xp and a 30% boost from the battle pass Weapon proficiency token With a component with a boost to Wp Use whatever descendant you want leveled
Vespers for really efficient way MUST be run with high AOE like Viessa (Valby is too slow) taking nearby mission and quick resetter. So basically MUST be run duo. I am not sure how solo it is as I did it only with Jayber kind of maxed and solo is kind of close to that. Last time I did Vespers decent run with Viessa I levelled 5 guns from 1 to 40 in 60 min and one that was lvl 15 or. So 5.5 guns basically. I think I got firearm xp from somewhere, cant remember. Battlepass or reward maybe. None the less abort mission meta is cancer and xp must be given for every mission as final reward in my opinion.
Simply put, the developers should increase the amount of XP you earn for each kill with a weapon and for a Descendant in specific missions. This way, players will be more inclined to try multiple missions, making it feel more like an engaging endgame activity rather than a grind. If this continues, many players will burn out and leave the game. In my clan for The Division 2, 20 people tried this game, but only 5 are still playing it today."
I tried the viessa cold snap watch, took me around 6 seconds per round (fastest round is 4 secs and slowest round is 8 secs) in average with 55 adds, which give 5500 xp. So with 6 secs per run I can get 55,000xp per min, with an xp boost 30% and a good component at 0.19x, that's gonna be 81950xp/m. So to hit lv40, it should take me 23 mins in average. Before, I did test the viessa cold-blooded build, with a friend to start the mission in vesper (I don't need to abort mission since I joined another), it was very consistent in 4-5secs per round. Let says 5 secs in average, with an xp boost and 0.19x component, it will only take me 19 mins to get to lv40 on my weapon.
i think people are not understanding "efficiency". people try to speed level weapon xp, but in some instances they get nothing else while doing it. in my case, i'm only bottlenecked by the mixed residue, which drops from asylum. i run that a few times and level up the weapon while also getting enough residue to craft my next catalyst. plus any extra catalysts go into character, which levels fast on asylum too. i really think when people come up with these xp/min and all that, it's theoretical, not practically measured.
u can abort mission in bunny cave too like in vespers. u dont have to stop after first wave...time will almost cut in half if u do that. no materials though but if u did bunny cave before you ll have enough of those fragments anyway.
20:14 that's the point. i really had fun during the normal mission, that was amazing to me. but after the mission, after killing all the bosses, there is nothing else to play, everything turns around grinding.
Yea, these are closer to the times I get, still have levelled every weapon to 40 and fully catallized (7-9 times) 5 weapons (thundercage, greg's, enduring legacy, Piercing light and nazestra's)
Appreciate the testing, nice work bud, don't wanna be that guy, but did any of these tests take into account only having the weapon you want to level on, with the other slots empty, considering how much of this game is copy pasted from Warframe, I wouldn't be surprised if the xp distribution is similar.
I agree 100%, that this game needs fixing. I wish I found this video 3 weeks ago. I am on the verge of packing it in on this game. It is just too much grinding to make too little progress. I have felt for some time that this game is well suited to the content providers that play for a living, for for the causual gamer it is just too much.
while watching this video i've just went from Char Lvl 27 to...currently 40...catalysted and now back to 30 (EDIT) just went up in MASTERY to 17) My Executor shotty hit 40 and now it's 15 and Climbing LOL so what i'm doing is the Defend Missions... i'm just equipping the weapon i wanna focus on, i have Firearm XP boost, and Char xp boost, then I have just jump off the cliff and find a place i can stand to HIDE and then I go do something else and you get XP for all the enemies killed and i'm basically AFK the entire time. I might check in and run out to grab some void shards then go back and hide hahaha
I just focus on getting the stuff I need to get and my xp soon goes up without thinking about it. Also as an ajax main this location is great because I can do the void mission anyway and get the void stuff I need
So I just expericed something don't if anyone else noticed this but that xp boost is only for the weapon in your first slot and in your hand. Example: I had my Greg's in my first slot and used my thunder cage in my hand while running asylum the Greg's got one level, ran again and had the Greg's in my hand and got three levels. Maybe something to test.
Most of the comments here are to be expected. People with little to no understanding of anything. Vespers is an exploit and even still can be done almost as fast legitly. Magisters lab should be a honorary mention. Its xp is not vastly off the mark of being similar plus you actually get rewards including bur not limited to salvage, Hailey pieces, keiper, gold, modules and amps. But please go off with a unimaginative video about how a exploit is best farm. But atleast you did testing.
I don't know man they got to make some changes when it comes to leveling up. On the other hand it's really not too bad if you're just doing a couple weapons and a character. But when you add multiple characters and a dozen weapons. That's when it becomes a massive grind. So I'm very picky on what type of descendant I'm going to invest time into. I have to really enjoy the base descendant before I even grind for the ultimate descendant. I have to really enjoy The Descendant or weapon if I'm going to invest my time into it.
I don't know leveling was never an issue for me got most things maxed out that I need. I'm more concerned with drop rates for amorphous (get nothing for 10 runs) and using them when you get everything besides the bp you need even if it is 32%, 38% item. I don't need a weapon or descendant raised within the next 30seconds since it won't make a difference.
Oh, hey. I just figured out why you can't get the same times. You're on console. From what I understand, it's a lot clunkier to abort a mission on console than the computer. You can lose significant time and not get nearly as clean of wave kills. Had to confer with a friend before the reason became clear.
My weapons are already leveled up. I'm needing High Voltage for my Ult Bunny. Looks like it will take forever to get it, since I'm only on Dead Bride Hard Mode.
Can also get lucky from combines. Public intercepts clear everything except gluttony pretty regularly so I wouldn't rule that out and hit a wall (and esp not for HV mod).
I can't stand the farms that require you to abort the mission and hate the bunny cave method... all sooo boring and not worth it.. I'd rather be slower on the weapon XP and just play and enjoy the game then sit jumping in one spot for an hour (i'd fall asleep in 3 minutes lol) and I'm definitely not spending real money to speed up weapon xp either.. F all of that.. you aren't playing the game at that point.. Sterile Land Spec Ops is fine as you get other stuff as well. They could change the amount of XP required after your first run to lvl 40.. after that it should take like half the amount of xp after the initial level up to lv 40.
You, and other too, calling descendants, but really using ultimate descendants. After 280h, I still working on obtaining a single one. And am hesitant fully commit to a regular one. In fact my regular Bunny has no activator and no catalyst applied. Just do not like Bunny.
most of those yt and people claiming those numbers are full of crap and liars ive run all these farms on dedicated bunny / valby builds ran it in my own groups etc and no you cant get those times cause game limits how much it rezzes
The thing is with these boring grinds is to spread it out over time.. .. Don't sit for 4+ hours in a single mission lol.. That causes burnout no matter how fun any game is..
People make clickbait titles for these “best xp farms” all the time. They just calculate the xp rate based on end of mission screen for everything, not taking into account load times, resets, matchmaking etc. Anything claiming below 35-45 mins is just ridiculous.

At the same time, you also level up your weapon, you get gold, kuiper and material. i did it 20 times on each of the both pattern. i did level up 7 times my character, 3 times the weapon, got 1 energy activator and 3 Chrystal Catalysts. of course, the time to kill the boss then to get the Catalysts is extra time. All in all it took me about 8 hours but i split it in 4 sessions over 4 days. That's a realistic secenario for every player and not those 20 minutes clickbait videos where you take 1.5h anyway without any extra material or patterns. Again really usefull Video
Great guides! Thanks! I found that running Asylum with the best ring you can get not High-Voltage mod is the best. I can get like 20-30% of my mission time down just like that. It's a huge difference when constantly 1 of the HV is targeting the immune thingy in the middle of mission or the ring just crash everyting in one go.
Ty 4 take all the time to do tests etc ill apreciated ❤
honestly man, thanks, you made my day
Great video 🤣🤣 getting unlimited morph materials, mats, and XP with the new event buff going plus gold weapon efficiency its ridiculously easy to level now.
Ive seen literally nobody talking about it except you just now.
Ive just been grinding Magister lab since i can solo it with an average time of like 2:45 to 3 minutes get tons of easy XP crafting materials from breaking down everything and morph materials for executioner who i can nuke with my basic Hailey build in 2 cycles of her Ult since she so OP right now.
Asylum is better XP but swamp walker morphs.
Even the Shelter is fast if you want to beat up on devourer who you can 3 tap with Hailey rather easily (prolly 2 tap mine is mid and it's 2 if I double crit).
@@grumpyoldman6503 I do mag lab because of how fast and easy it is 🤣💀 and getting supernova sets is a big plus since I already have a decent full slayer set. If I wanted to run one one based off the overabundance of Xp I'd farm up the heart of the fortress because that gives the most XP out of all the infiltrations and its rather easy when your soloing it cause my bunny can 1 bang most enemies with my build and the boss is a pushover when you have a maxed Greg's like I do. I haven't invested anything but a mushroom tip in my Hailey so swamp walker takes awhile.
I said the same thing soon as this 50% weapon XP event went live; do it for every activity and not just infiltration ops…
The only way to really take advantage of it is if you run certain ops solo & a lot of people (including myself) hate to do that 🤷🏽♂
I personally prefer the kuiper mining op or the bunny cave but then you have to rely on luck getting matched with a couple of bunnies to make both faster
Thank you for testing all these but like you said the best strategy is to layer your xp farm while going after patterns or farming reactors/components... Sure it may be slower but it feels better knowing your working towards multiple goals besides just staring at your xp bar
you nailed it!
OK the thumbnail Bunny Armor looked great
I calculated the Asylum claim and that's correct with the 30%exp boost and bunnies
Thank you for doing this video
Any time
We really need new things to do seriously
Moonlight lake is twice as fast if you have two people one non att starting it and then viessa killing ads. However, I really enjoyed the level giide you made where it takes you to resorces you need while leveling instead of mindlessly leveling. would love to see more videos like this for weapon parts from amorphis or even decendents.
side note to get xp from the monsters you have to either get the kill OR be in the active mission the monsters are in. This can make ones like bunny cave inconsistant.
The vesper fragment abort reset needs two people and a viessa spamming blizzard with max range (join the near by mission first so you don’t have to abort, only the person who’s activating the fragment abort spams. I clear the two waves in less than 3 seconds with blizzard spam+ reset from teammate. The strat you were doing is extremely slower. Turning what could be a 3-5 second clear/reset into your 8-12 second x 50+ runs is a lot worse.
Its still a crap experience even under the most idea circumstances.
With the new Kings Guard Lance changes, more solo camps open up but are the same general idea- shard farm to kill as many mobs as quickly as possible.
Beyond being repetitive and boring, it also is unrewarding in terms of mats etc for the time spent. It's ONLY xp and not even 1 type of shards if you bother to kill all the waves.
I think it's only a problem because people want to max out weapons asap. If you dont focus on it and just make sure you have your weapon equipped while doing other things it will be maxed out before you know it.
I never grinded to max out my Thunderxage. It was just always my weapon of choice and it was always level 40 before I even realized.
But if anything they should just add the same exp boost to weapon ant the end of operations that decendants get.
Absolutely agree. What's different here as compared to other games like Warframe is, when you prestige a weapon it doesn't lose power but gains as long as you upgrade or stick in a new mod. In Warfame when you reset a level on weapons, it's basically a pea shooter again until you level it back up. I think a lot of people are looking at TFD the wrong way. As long as you're catalyzing and playing you're constantly gaining power and things just get easier and easier.
We need more weapon XP or less amount of XP required to level up a weapon.
Less xp would be better than giving more xp i think. But they're trying to force you to buy xp boosts but in this video the test shows it only took him less than 3 minutes less time? So thats basically useless and a waste of money
Another Banger of a video bro!! Mad props to you for letting the community know where we can get the most juice for the squeeze! See you in the next one!
How do I make TFD project manager watch the first 5 minutes of your video? I feel like the way you explained it in the beginning is what they NEED to hear! Burnout lane. Aren’t they trying to figure out why they’re dropping players left and right? I’m not saying this is the reason, we all know there are plenty of other reasons, but this is definitely contributing and it’s one of the easier things to fix.
i find asylum atm the best yes is true you farm 1 weapon in x time but on that i get code breakers,amorpheus,energy residue,particle,alsooo other 2 weapons you carry get lvls by the time 1 is 40 others are 20+ and maybe 15+ so you need start from zero if you switch for MR
For the event asylum is crazy if you run solo or 2 man group, you can wipe at the end and refresh the ads at the end or just keep speed running and get tons of weapon xp, amorphous and weapon materials
Im glad someone said this in another comment. This is literally the best. Bunny cave didn't give me a single level... each pass through the end of Asylum is a couple levels. Like 5 or something
My Esiemo wrecks on special operations, I often do 1-2 billion damage.
Not sure why but people are sleeping on Esiemo for AOE farming. He is way more fun than Bunny. You only need to use ONE ability and max all range you can. Esiemo devastates special ops.
2 billion damage bro
the dev should scale it up ten times
Just noticed your component for firearm xp is also the one that's supposed to have mp recovery modifier on it. If you're trying to chain the viessa outpost as fast as you can then you're gonna need that on it or else you're gonna have to spend a little time to regen enough mp to do another run. After constantly doing your time is gonna add up.
This can easily be fixed by running MP Collector.
thats a lame excuse and not the issue. These people are flat out lying and never show a full video of them farming from 1-40 in said time frame. Its always cut video etc
honorable mention for fortress outskirts maybe? tons of kuiper + gold, xp for descendant and weapon and fairly ok time for doing it solo. took me 45 min with weapon xp token, purple proficiency modifier and without bionic fuel. abort when all 4 are at 100% and restart.
Stopped doing the bunny cave when the roll was nerfed
If you don't care about farming the catalyst do this
I'm mastery 22 but have every base gun to level 40
Including the the blues from the early game
I did them in the hard operation mission asylum
With the event xp and a 30% boost from the battle pass Weapon proficiency token
With a component with a boost to Wp
Use whatever descendant you want leveled
Vespers for really efficient way MUST be run with high AOE like Viessa (Valby is too slow) taking nearby mission and quick resetter. So basically MUST be run duo. I am not sure how solo it is as I did it only with Jayber kind of maxed and solo is kind of close to that. Last time I did Vespers decent run with Viessa I levelled 5 guns from 1 to 40 in 60 min and one that was lvl 15 or. So 5.5 guns basically. I think I got firearm xp from somewhere, cant remember. Battlepass or reward maybe. None the less abort mission meta is cancer and xp must be given for every mission as final reward in my opinion.
i use luna and do it solo,suprisingly its good and fast too
Simply put, the developers should increase the amount of XP you earn for each kill with a weapon and for a Descendant in specific missions. This way, players will be more inclined to try multiple missions, making it feel more like an engaging endgame activity rather than a grind. If this continues, many players will burn out and leave the game.
In my clan for The Division 2, 20 people tried this game, but only 5 are still playing it today."
Sterile Lands Spec. Ops with Gley max range massive sanguification build 👌🏼
Having 3000+ brains farming xp in white gulch courtyard for hours 💀
I tried the viessa cold snap watch, took me around 6 seconds per round (fastest round is 4 secs and slowest round is 8 secs) in average with 55 adds, which give 5500 xp.
So with 6 secs per run I can get 55,000xp per min, with an xp boost 30% and a good component at 0.19x, that's gonna be 81950xp/m. So to hit lv40, it should take me 23 mins in average.
Before, I did test the viessa cold-blooded build, with a friend to start the mission in vesper (I don't need to abort mission since I joined another), it was very consistent in 4-5secs per round. Let says 5 secs in average, with an xp boost and 0.19x component, it will only take me 19 mins to get to lv40 on my weapon.
i think people are not understanding "efficiency". people try to speed level weapon xp, but in some instances they get nothing else while doing it. in my case, i'm only bottlenecked by the mixed residue, which drops from asylum. i run that a few times and level up the weapon while also getting enough residue to craft my next catalyst. plus any extra catalysts go into character, which levels fast on asylum too. i really think when people come up with these xp/min and all that, it's theoretical, not practically measured.
u can abort mission in bunny cave too like in vespers. u dont have to stop after first wave...time will almost cut in half if u do that. no materials though but if u did bunny cave before you ll have enough of those fragments anyway.
20:14 that's the point. i really had fun during the normal mission, that was amazing to me. but after the mission, after killing all the bosses, there is nothing else to play, everything turns around grinding.
Just give all content a 100% XP boost. Also, when I kill a gigantic, city destroying monster... I expect some XP!
You are playing the game, the grind is the game, there is nothing else to this game other than grind.
Yea, these are closer to the times I get, still have levelled every weapon to 40 and fully catallized (7-9 times) 5 weapons (thundercage, greg's, enduring legacy, Piercing light and nazestra's)
Appreciate the testing, nice work bud, don't wanna be that guy, but did any of these tests take into account only having the weapon you want to level on, with the other slots empty, considering how much of this game is copy pasted from Warframe, I wouldn't be surprised if the xp distribution is similar.
if you dont care about the extra sfuff just do Bio Lab mission 4 to 5 times and you will get to lvl 40. easy.
Nice video
Thank you
I agree 100%, that this game needs fixing. I wish I found this video 3 weeks ago. I am on the verge of packing it in on this game. It is just too much grinding to make too little progress. I have felt for some time that this game is well suited to the content providers that play for a living, for for the causual gamer it is just too much.
Vespers moonlight lake void fragment is the best exp spot for both guns and descendants by far. Just bring a valby and viessa.
Or solo it with Jayber.. .. .. Nothing special just duration, range, & cooldown..
while watching this video i've just went from Char Lvl 27 to...currently 40...catalysted and now back to 30 (EDIT) just went up in MASTERY to 17)
My Executor shotty hit 40 and now it's 15 and Climbing LOL
so what i'm doing is the Defend Missions... i'm just equipping the weapon i wanna focus on, i have Firearm XP boost, and Char xp boost, then I have just jump off the cliff and find a place i can stand to HIDE and then I go do something else and you get XP for all the enemies killed and i'm basically AFK the entire time.
I might check in and run out to grab some void shards then go back and hide hahaha
I just focus on getting the stuff I need to get and my xp soon goes up without thinking about it. Also as an ajax main this location is great because I can do the void mission anyway and get the void stuff I need
You have to run asylum solo or two man, if not the enimies despawn. You should Test again solo and youll see a major difference
So I just expericed something don't if anyone else noticed this but that xp boost is only for the weapon in your first slot and in your hand. Example: I had my Greg's in my first slot and used my thunder cage in my hand while running asylum the Greg's got one level, ran again and had the Greg's in my hand and got three levels. Maybe something to test.
The putskirts also drops about 10,000 kipure per run if you collect all of it
So, not having any ultimate descendant, I 'am screwed for XP/level farming? Edit: Also none of the descendants or weapons are maxed.
I even got the blue ones to level 40 by doing the especial operation in the sterile land.
Most of the comments here are to be expected. People with little to no understanding of anything. Vespers is an exploit and even still can be done almost as fast legitly. Magisters lab should be a honorary mention. Its xp is not vastly off the mark of being similar plus you actually get rewards including bur not limited to salvage, Hailey pieces, keiper, gold, modules and amps. But please go off with a unimaginative video about how a exploit is best farm. But atleast you did testing.
I'm so fed up with Bunny being the answer to just about everything.
I don't know man they got to make some changes when it comes to leveling up. On the other hand it's really not too bad if you're just doing a couple weapons and a character. But when you add multiple characters and a dozen weapons. That's when it becomes a massive grind. So I'm very picky on what type of descendant I'm going to invest time into. I have to really enjoy the base descendant before I even grind for the ultimate descendant. I have to really enjoy The Descendant or weapon if I'm going to invest my time into it.
Here's a thought, let's not call it Nazzy since it sounds like you know
The reach Is crazy
I could do Viessa weapon xp farm pretty quickly. You just have to find the most efficient method to do it.
Does the weapon gain more xp if u have it equipped or as long as you have it on you roster they all level the same?
Do you have to be actively holding the weapon in oder to level it or can it just be in the current load our?
the one you are holding gets most exp, but the ones in your other slots will gain exp just slower
i actually fell asleep trying to do the bunny cave from level 1 , now i only do it when i have a few levels left to reach 40
Maybe if it was +150% for infiltrations, it might be worth it. But +50% ain't cutting it.
Does this take the 50% weapon xp boost into account thats the weekly currently?
I've tried the bunny cave before, and I'd rather go run the asylum constantly. My big issue is farming, since I am trying to make a build.
I don't know leveling was never an issue for me got most things maxed out that I need. I'm more concerned with drop rates for amorphous (get nothing for 10 runs) and using them when you get everything besides the bp you need even if it is 32%, 38% item. I don't need a weapon or descendant raised within the next 30seconds since it won't make a difference.
I'm genuinely convinced they do rate manipulation. Because why would i get one 32% item 15 times but not the other more desirable one?
Kuipuer in a spec ops mission? Is this new ? The reason i say this is all i do is specs ops mission and my kuiper never goes up. Am i trippen ?
The kuiper is coming from the other steps. That’s why it’s so low.
With boosters, defense line with Viessa solo I'm able to get a weapons from 1-40 in 20 min on a coldblooded build.
I've 5 weapons I want to max out but when I realised it's 8 hours of farming x5 to max them out... Full time work for a week 🤦🤦
Oh, hey. I just figured out why you can't get the same times. You're on console. From what I understand, it's a lot clunkier to abort a mission on console than the computer. You can lose significant time and not get nearly as clean of wave kills. Had to confer with a friend before the reason became clear.
does all weapons take the same amount of exp to lvl up?
Yes
My weapons are already leveled up. I'm needing High Voltage for my Ult Bunny. Looks like it will take forever to get it, since I'm only on Dead Bride Hard Mode.
Can also get lucky from combines.
Public intercepts clear everything except gluttony pretty regularly so I wouldn't rule that out and hit a wall (and esp not for HV mod).
I can't stand the farms that require you to abort the mission and hate the bunny cave method... all sooo boring and not worth it.. I'd rather be slower on the weapon XP and just play and enjoy the game then sit jumping in one spot for an hour (i'd fall asleep in 3 minutes lol) and I'm definitely not spending real money to speed up weapon xp either.. F all of that.. you aren't playing the game at that point.. Sterile Land Spec Ops is fine as you get other stuff as well. They could change the amount of XP required after your first run to lvl 40.. after that it should take like half the amount of xp after the initial level up to lv 40.
My least favorite thing in this game is leveling weapons. It’s brutal even with all the xp bonuses.
Unknown laboratory gives more exp than The forgottense and they both have the same finish time. at least thats what I saw on my testing.
You, and other too, calling descendants, but really using ultimate descendants. After 280h, I still working on obtaining a single one. And am hesitant fully commit to a regular one. In fact my regular Bunny has no activator and no catalyst applied. Just do not like Bunny.
I was the same way. I didnt do anything to reg bunny. I went for all Ults that existed
step 1 and step 2 is that once each or twice?
Did u k ow if u have only 1 weapon equiped it give it more xp than having 3
Nope
most of those yt and people claiming those numbers are full of crap and liars ive run all these farms on dedicated bunny / valby builds ran it in my own groups etc and no you cant get those times cause game limits how much it rezzes
The thing is with these boring grinds is to spread it out over time.. .. Don't sit for 4+ hours in a single mission lol.. That causes burnout no matter how fun any game is..
Does this only level the weapon in your hand or all 3 equipped weapons?
All 3
Everything gets XP but the weapon in your hand gets 100% and the other 2 only get 20% each.
Afk with macro in bunny cave then go out touch some grass is the best way to lvling up weapon
I understand the sentiment but Nexon has banned for afk macroing and added snipers to popular places to do that (bunny cave not yet).
People make clickbait titles for these “best xp farms” all the time. They just calculate the xp rate based on end of mission screen for everything, not taking into account load times, resets, matchmaking etc. Anything claiming below 35-45 mins is just ridiculous.
