if you let a green ant start chewing on you in mission 101 and shoot the ground with a reverse shooter X as ranger, it sends you and the ant that's chewing on you flying very far. this is dual purpose in that it not only sends you away from the concentration of green ants but it is also hilarious.

Haha cool

Instead of the volleyball missions, I suggest mission 67 with the armored cosmonaut introduction mission. It can be finished in minutes and grabbing boxes take up much of that time. Almost two dozen pinatas that drop about five boxes each. You have a ton of allies, Nixes, and elite reinforcements appear when you finish off the last few nauts. Trains you on fighting groups of nauts which will become common and teaches the importance of penetration weapons. A great point for getting weapons quickly. Segues nicely to the utterly boring Species Gamma swarm mission.

It's probably old news and I'm not sure if it's a result of a patch, the English version or playing on PC, but in mission 86 the bugs can easily wiggle themselves into the hiding spot, so it's good to have a fast reloading weapon. My first few Ranger runs went bad because I had a +3 second reload on my weapons and couldn't kill the enemies fast enough.

hey KevenEDF, I figured out an alternative farming method using ranger for high level inferno weapons that you could probably refine and improve on. there's a lot of setup involved, which sucks. it's mission 107:invader assembly, solo. i did it with the M100 Fang and TZ Stork. use the sniper rifle to draw in the cosmonauts and frogs and kill them first. take out a couple of saucers and have a staging area ready for the type 2 drones with health strewn about. take out some more saucers, but leave at least 1 towards the rear of the level, away from the powered exoskeletons that show up at the last moment. the one i left behind spawned wasps, but that part doesn't really matter. repeat the same strategy as before with the 2nd wave of type 2 drones, basically engaging them with a few healths laying around again. next the powered exoskeletons show up. the goal here is to farm the enemies that drop out of the leftover saucer for weapon drops, which means you have to kill the exoskeletons or else they will blow up the last saucer when you kill the enemies below it. once they are gone, farm away, similar to the mission 39 health farming you showed in another video. LOTS of setup, but once it's done you can farm weapons as long as you like, plus this is 6 missions ahead of mission 101, so the loot is slightly better. edit: i'm just saying i used a ranger, use any class you wish. edit2: if the rangers that arrive with the exoskeletons join you, engage the monsters from far away from the saucer, or they will blow it up.

Appreciated!

IDK how the pc version differs from jp console when this was recorded but I had a bit of trouble with ranger on 101. When a big enough mob of green spitty ants were on the field they always ended up getting hits off through the fireballs. Ended up taking volcanic napalm and standing in a door alcove with big fireball planted above it until I had enough points for my nereid.

Thank you so much. Hiding in the rock enar the waterfall on 86 was amazing- just got a shotgun and bam! Rubber band to the rescue.

Whats a good level to farm lvl0 weapons. Trying to star my wing diver low level weapons now and I cant find any good ones besides Offline stage 4

Kevin my Brother= im stuck! i started over from scratvh about a month ago. I finished every mission and the 2nd DLC & all DLC1 except the last mother ship mission. ~So the highest mission i was able to complete on inferno is the one where you hide in the rock crevice from the baller enemies.. I think it's mission 87~ The Waterfall as i call it.... ~So it gave me the uber level 91 Grenade launcher but it's reload is like 4.5 seconds so i don't really use it. The TZ-Stork is my highest rated Assault Rifle(86) but i like the O=X500-Orchid but it's a level 76'ish.. Ironic & funny how the only Assault rifle i used before that was the precious Orchid. Both fire fast enough,,accurate,long range and quick reload.. My armor/health is 2500.. My old character had 7800

Another thing for mission 62 is u can actually recruit the soldiers there and bring them to the parking lot to hide 😂

2024 and still fightin on.

any idea when I could obtain the M5 Raven ( not M1) ?? its my favorite rifle in this game. + Does level - Difficulty effect the weapon drop rate or Quality of weapons?

@rolandfoxx

2 жыл бұрын

Not sure if you still wanna know or not, but levels and their difficulty determines what the drop range for weapons are. Lower levels have fairly tight weapon ranges, while Inferno difficulty has the widest drop rate. As a level 82 weapon, the M5 Raven can begin dropping at level 66 (online 65) - Falling Monster Balls on Inferno, and remains one of the Ranger weapons that can drop all the way through DLC 1 Mission 9 - Engage Aggressors 3. Your best bet will probably be to farm 87 on Inferno.

Also are you using a healing bomb as your second weapon? I wouldn't recommend farming this mission with ranger as well since it is a lot of luck completing it with him.
