With good players you can get gold done in around 20-25 minutes. Was my experience with early pugs. Where you get 58k from?

[Grimy Bunyip]

You should keep playing and learn to get better at the game.
Hell, my friend and I typically duo golds in 30 mins.

find a good team and get reasonably good yourself, and you should be able to average 20 min gold runs even if they're random/random.

and sub 17 mins is fairly easy with firebase white or some other method.

also, golds are up to 75k a match.

Ugh, when I do gold matches anyway, I have to make sure i'm working with my friends. Random groups just seem to be useless when it comes to gold, or they try doing it with terrible weapons/low level chars.

[SOMETHING_FOR_NOTHING]

4 infiltrators doesnt matter what race, and quiting after wave 10 is complete is about 16.5 mins with my team all we do is farm when we play this game and we become very efficient at it.

[ReapersFTW]

Why revive a beta thread? That's why the times on these completions are not accurate.

Okay I feel silly now.

[underm1nd]

Average gold time 42 minutes? if those times are for solo runs then ok, but otherwise thats ridiculous haha the normal gold game is about 22-25 mins with a normal team and can go up to 30 mins with an absolutely terrible team. My longest gold game hasnt been longer than 30 mins haha

 EDIT: Just saw how old the thread is... Srsly who starts writing in a two month old thread, and more imortantly how bored was he to go that far back in the forums xD

Those times are totally off. Seriously, there are gold solo runs that don't even take that long. While I can see the average gold game on a random map going for 20-25 minutes in a standard run, this is not what you do when you farm credits.

When doing runs explicitly for gold, like a FBW/G/G game it takes roughly 15-17 minutes when you are not camping but playing up the ladder, sniping and tech bursting everything. If you decide to suicide after the W10 objective you can easily do 15 minute runs on gold with a good team. And that's without everyone using much of their equipment.

Gold can be frustrating doing PuG games and is a crapshoot as to the success.  For that reason alone I do Silver matches when looking for credits.

I don't think many would argue that the Geth on FBW mumbo jumbo is the most effecient way to earn credits, but it feels like a job and not a game after two matches.

[Megachaz]

I still think Gold is faster. It rarely takes me over 40 minutes for a gold match. Usually more around 30-35.

Silver works well if you don't want to waste any consumables (apart from the occasional rocket). Unless you have a very poor team you should be able to blast through it pretty quickly, and not use up anything in the process.

Of course the gold farming runs get you more, or even just making it to wave 6 and failing. Trouble is unless you've got a well coordinated team on gold, you're bound to use some survival packs/medigel/rockets, so you need the credits to make back what consumables you've lost.

If you've got a good team and good equipment/weapons, then you can do the same and use few consumables and make more in the process, in which case I'd just go for gold and be done with it.

Silver there's very little risk of that - it's less efficient timewise, but you don't really lose anything.

Still, average random silver is usually around 20mins, gold 25 to 30 mins.


Edit: Oh dammit, 2 months old! Yep, I got done.

Gold is still better. Do wave 6, and then die. Or even do wave 3 and die.

The problem is that most players dick around in between rounds, assigning equipment to stuff. It's a farming run, clearing 3 round doesn't need equipment. I'm so annoyed that I can't find a group to do gold, and just bleed out when we die. I rather bleed out at wave 8 than to watch the last person run around trying to get through the stage and taking way too long.

[Micah3sixty]

Fastest credits for your time is either Gold waves 1-6 (wipe after completing objectives) to net ~$40k in <15 minutes or Gold farming runs for $74k in about 20-25 minutes.

...i've never had a gold match take longer than 30 minutes...

Yeah OP timers are way off... In my experience a bronze run will usually take 12-15min, a silver run 15-20 min and a gold run 18-25min. And gold is definitely better for gold farming unless you plan to fail a lot.

[Sacrificial Bias]

Gold is about 30-35 minutes with random. FBWGG is 25-30 minutes.

The times will depend on whether you play with friends or random. But I would agree that for random matches, Silver has the best mix of time, credits, and success rate. I also find it more enjoyable when I don't end up being faceplanted for the 5th time before a wipe at wave 9 because someone runs off from the group. Though there was still a little mishap on Silver Reactor VS Reaper when everyone decided to go solo somehow on that small map.

Gold - Average match time 42 minutes, 1.43 matches per hour
58k credits per match


LOL WTF.... did u clear it solo on a lvl 1 or some **** i clear my golds in 18 minutes easy on any ennemy or map

[CapnManx]

Silver is more efficient; but feels too much like grinding if you are just trying to make credits. Subjective time makes credits per match more important for me (not that I really bother grinding credits either way).

[Sargaz]

 if you do the geth exploit crap on firebase white you can get ~210 000 credits an hour btw lol, and its so easy we've cleared it with 3 lvl 1s lol

[MoeRayShep]

I think this is a big old case of YMMV. Now that there are established farming strategies and in general more players have accrued skill (maybe?) and higher-tier weapons (at least that's certain), you can pretty much expect solid odds with randoms on FBWGG. I don't actively seek out farmers, but I'll typically roll with them if they come up on my search.

I do wonder if the shift in credit payoff from round 10 to round 6 may result in new farming strategies that are more time efficient by wiping after the Wave 6 objective. It may or may not be faster, but otoh waves 1-6 are far easier than 7-10 and let you skimp on consumables.

Then again I always play with randoms and don't bother talking to people.

Why in the holy hell would you play a co-op game and not talk to people?  Do you not have a mic?  You can get one for like $10.

People like you are why I hate when my friends aren't online.  I bet you always equip a Widow on your Asari Adept, too.

[CollateralEstoppel]

a) Gold gives more than 58k credits.
gold matches can be much faster than 42 minutes if people aren't constantly dying and people use their rockets.

FBWGG is the fastest method for credit farming. pugs generally do it in about 30 minutes and you get 70k. Dying after the objective on wave 10 is also significantly faster than playing until extraction.

[PluralAces]

This is all wrong....

Gold is the fastest way to earn credits plain and simple

Here is the scale for earning credits (times vary)

Finishing Wave 3 on Gold = Bronze (takes only like 6-8 minutes as opposed to 13-15 minutes to finish a bronze)
Finishing Wave 6 on Gold = Silver (takes the total time to 15-17 minutes as opposed to 20-22 minutes to finish a silver)
Finishing Wave 10 on Gold = 2x Silver + 1 Bronze (takes the total time to about 24-27 minutes)

Therefore Gold is the quickest way to earn credits...
