Video Proof the Guide Works
Efficiency: This is what it's all about for those of us dedicated to farming to get what we want, whether it be credits, new character unlocks, upgraded weapons, equipment stockpiles, or that sense of victory from finally beating a faction under a certain amount of time.
This guide: is for the people who may be interested in the same things I am interested in (the things listed above). If this is not you, this guide can still be helpful, but this guide is geared towards people who value that bolded underlined word above. I personally guarantee that this guide will help improve your times, thus leading to easy power leveling, easy credit farming, and easy unlocks for everything.
Farm Reapers: Due to spammability of biotics and the low skill required, combined with reapers inherent vulnerability and tendency to clump together, Reapers are the faction of choice to farm right now, with Geth a close second. As such, I will only cover reaper farming right now, unless someone can prove that Geth are easier, or if some balancing happens.
ASSUMPTIONS OF THIS GUIDE:
- This strategy requires 4 people on the same page, in voice chat with mics (or exceptionally good at listening and playing in a fashion that doesn't require verbal communication if you don't have a mic).
- You are willing to play a class/spec that benefits the group's total clearing time and not your personal score.
- You can leave your ego at the door.
- You are willing, nay, EXCITED to use consumables/equipment to make your clears go faster.
- You understand that using the best weapons with the best recharge balance is optimal
EFFICIENCY STRATEGY AND TACTICS:
- class Composition should be optimal for the faction you are playing.
- You should control enemy spawns through your team's positioning (think of each map as four squares, or four squares with a circle in the middle, this roughly explains the spawn positioning of enemies)
- Your team should stick together as needed, and you should all have clearly understood roles in relation to your position, your contribution to rapidly killing (are you setting up biotic combos, are you detonating, are you the objective capper, etc)
- You should use the best equipment/consumables that will benefit your team the most (example: if you are using a falcon, use cryo ammo generally)
- Put away your assumptions about missiles. USE ALL OF YOUR MISSILES EACH GAME. Use them intelligently. Without writing 5 pages on how bad it is to not use missiles each game, intelligent use of missiles will shave valuable time off of your total time; thus allowing you to farm more credits more efficiently. It's WORSE to take 25:00 without using missiles than it is to clear in 18:00 - 22:00 because you used missiles.
- It is not always worth ressing someone, in fact, it's frequently counter-productive to your overall time. I can think of numerous examples: Person 1 has 9 med-gels. You spend time ressing them. You are wasting time. Person 2 dies with 1 or a few remaining enemies left. Assuming you aren't terrible, you can more easily clear the enemies than you can take time ressing this person. Person 3 dies in the middle of 50 enemies. If you aren't willing to missile, then just keep doing what you are doing, let them med-gel or let them die. It's not worth it probably.
- Comp One1-2 Asari Adept, 1-2 Drell Adepts. Alternates include: Human sentinels, human adepts, human engineers. Everyone should have as close to 200% recharge time as possible. Spam biotic combos all day. Win. The End. Asari - warp/throw/statis maxed, 3 in fitness, 5 in Asari Justicar. Drell 6 0 6 6 6. Spam Reave.
- Comp Two 1 Asari Adept, 1 Drell Adept, 1 Human Vanguard, 1 Salarian Infiltrator. Alternates include: Drell Vanguard with pull for detonating. Human vanguard acts a stunner/detonator/tank, can rapidly kill capture far objectives. Infiltrator should be 6 0 6 6 6 (high damage, high survivability). Assassinate important enemies, cap objectives, serves as team medic.
Comp Three 1-2 Asari, 1-2 Drell, 1-2 Human Soldier. Same as Comp One. Only variation is that human soldier 6 0 6 6 6 (no pts in concussive shot, will not debate) uses a falcon with full equipments. This soldier just plays a position near a choke, and destroys everything with rapid-fire falconing/frag grenades. This soldier should be the host, and the second soldier if there is one, should be a person with an extremely low ping and a good connection to the host. Do not be surprised if soldiers are the high score by 30-50000 points. The jobs of the adepts are to continue biotic spamming, but with an even higher focus on the elites.- Comp Four 2-3 Human Soldiers, 1 Biotic Self-Detonator (Asari etc). Alternates Include: Human Vanguard to detonate
(using a falcon), Same theory as above. The Asari has the job of killing the elite mobs while soldiers chain spam. May be less efficient due to lack of grenades for the entire team, but easily solved by spamming ammo boxes at important times
- Firebase White: 2-3 People upstairs at the triple intersection by the ammo box above the ladder, 1-2 people downstairs facing the double intersection (refer to my positioning in my quickscope video if this isn't clear), stuck to the wall, with the inside building to your right, and the outside ammo box straight in front of you over the wall.
- Firebase Glacier: Generally the giant room with the glass windows to your right (the extraction room will be on your right) is a terrible place to be. The most efficient that I've found is the very back room with an ammo box down the ramps is good for having two choke points. If you keep one person on the right behind the desk, 1-2 people on the left behind the desk facing the double intersection, and one person in the very middle tiny room with the glass as a floater, it can lead to very effective, very rapid clears.
- Firebase Giant: The extraction zone with the ammo box, the ruins to your left, and the giant horrible middle section to your right. Just position everyone here for every wave that you can. Use your choke points do destroy everyone with aoe damage (biotics
or falcons or both), and go hunting when you can safely do so, or need to do so due to time.
Farm: Farm now before the last few hours run out on your equipment pack purchase at the store. Buy as many missiles as you can. Then begin farming super hard-core until biotic explosions are nerfed
Team Comps: There are other combos that work, but these are the combos that have been most successful for myself or my team, or that I believe based on my experience will be the most successful.
If you have a better one, post it, or if you have a variation just list it and explain why.
<3GOOD LUCK. EASY MODE INCOMING!
