  • Map: DLC 1 Mission 17 on EASY
    Method yields average 13 Armor/minute.
    Maxes out (~800/level) in about an hour. (See More for Details.)
    With such a short setup time and bountiful Silver Spider armor crate drops, this method vastly outperforms farming dropships or other nests, which can take up to 4 hours for the same result.
    When Fencer is in position (during the pause) secure R2 and L2 with rubber bands.
    Ranger then demonstrates how to line the Fencer up dead center of the spawning nest for maximum auto-collection. This will become second nature in no time.
    If crates begin to stack up, it's time to re-position. The use of jackhammers repels corpses which would otherwise dislodge him, but it's not always perfect.
    Ranger is interchangeable with Air Raider. Always play 2-player to double Armor returns!
    Wing divers can use Rapier Thrust weapons to achieve a similar result, but I'd recommend pairing them to cover each other's reloads. (That's why the solo Fencer staggers his arms in the beginning.)
    Happy Farming!

    You know that if a person has at least one elastic band near their PS4 they're always doing this shit😂😂😂

    I don't have gear that high yet. Do you happen to know the health of the tunnel entrances and Silver spiders? Trying to figure out if I have gear that can do this.

      It's hard to say since the enemy HP slides up as the mission number increases. On Easy they shouldn't have much, but yes having enough firepower to close the nests before they spawn is crucial.
      This is more of a lategame farm intended to help tackle the DLC or later Inferno maps. Earlier on in the game with less weaponry I'd recommend posting up underneath a Dropship or using this method on a different map. Mission 15 comes to mind.

    How the hell do you get that much mobility with Fencer...?

      'Dash canceling' any of his forward thruster weaponry allows insane movement by replacing the lag frames normally experienced after a boost with the firing animation of another weapon.
      Try weaving spear attacks inbetween dashes to see what I mean, then equip a Javelin Catapult for the fastest canceling available.

    By the way, I forgot to ask one more detail.
    how long do you recommend being afk?

    • @AresLathe
      @AresLathe  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'd say no more than an hour.
      The EDF can only bring home 1024 crates per mission, after that it's just gratuitous spider mulching.

    On what difficulty do you recommend doing this method?

    • @AresLathe
      @AresLathe  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I'd only run Easy since it's geared for Armor farming and Armor is the same on all difficulties.
      Any harder and the Fencer might not be able to close the nests before anything spawns, dramatically lengthening the setup time.
      There are better maps for Weapon farming worth playing on Hardest or Inferno.

      Yes indeed! Always worth farming on 2-player :D

      @@AresLathe just confirmed it, i thought it didnt work at first but then i searched up on google each box does not mean 1 hp.
      So thats why in edf 5 each of the class have different max hp. I thought they just split jt randomly.

    Do you have to do this 2 player

    • @AresLathe
      @AresLathe  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I did it one player with two controllers.
      Once the Fencer is in position and triggers are rubber banded, your Ranger/Diver/2nd fencer can do whatever (after helping line the farming fencer up)

    • @AresLathe

      Being in 2-player mode effectively doubles your armor gain too, definitely worth it.
