here is a guide for you. By following these principles, you will earn credits in the
most efficient way possible.
DON’T DO THIS
- Immediately upon starting the match, hide in a corner somewhere safe only firing your weapon every 30 seconds.
- Rush into a spawn at the start of every wave and get sync killed
- Leach off of low to mid-tier players (non-maxed Gold weapons & Gear). These players may or may not be able to extract without your help and it will waste everyone’s time & consumables.
Just sitting there and being useless or dead, you will drag out the match for longer than necessary and the team will kick you ASAP when they get back to the lobby. You may even get called names or sent a mean message. These things may hurt your feelings and make you feel bad. After you are kicked, you will have to spend the next 20 minutes finding another “mark” or “host”. Remember, no one gets paid sitting in the lobby or searching for matches.
INSTEAD, DO THIS
- When looking for a lobby, try your best to find a player(s) with either a high challenge score, N7 rating, UR Weapon at X or all of the above. This will be your “mark” or “host”. You need to do everything you can to appease this person!
- Equip consumables! This is important, don’t cheap out! Savvy veterans know how to spot leachers. The first sign of no consumables/no gear and you will get kicked immediately. If you don’t get kicked, you may spook your “host” and they will leave the lobby.
- Make sure that your consumables/gear match your loadout (SMG Gun = SMG Amp, etc). You need to look like you will be a good teammate.
- Use a character that matches the rest of your team. If your best player(s) on the team are using Adepts, choose a player with Biotics. Engineers, go Tech. The Human Sentinel is a good choice because that kit has good survivability (Tech Armor), Warp primes (and debuffs) and Throw can detonate both Tech and Biotic powers.
- Follow your best player around the map and support them the best you can. Spam a biotic primer (Warp, Reave, etc) for Adepts or a Tech power like Incinerate for Engineers. Pick them up when they go down ASAP.
- Do your best not to get killed, survivability is key. Veterans tire of constantly reviving people so try to use cover as much as possible. It is better to stay out of the way than get in over your head and die constantly.
- If you are going to go down, try to do so near an ammo crate so the person reviving you can get some more ammo while they are picking you up
- Shoot your weapon as much as you can
- Participate in objectives! Try to do the 4 device/package objectives for the team so the good players can keep killing things and keep you safe.
- If the rest of the team is using mics, you should use yours too if you have one. You don’t need to talk all that much, being quiet is better actually. But if you see your best player about to get sync killed, call it out!
- Use the time in between matches to ask questions and get tips on what would help the team finish matches faster. This is an important step because it helps sell the illusion that you are “trying”.
- When you get killed, use that time to observe the other player(s) in Spectator Mode and to call out enemies sneaking up behind them.
- Great players love having their Epeen stroked. So be sure to tell them how wonderful they are after the match and that you appreciate the opportunity to play with them. Words such as “WOW! I have never seen someone play so well!”, “Thanks so much for letting me play with you, can I play with you again?” or “You topped the scoreboard AGAIN, you are SOOOO awesome”.
- If you end up leaching more than 3 matches from the same person(s), you should send them a “Thank You” message when your gaming session is over.
Yes this leeching strategy involves a little more effort, but in the long run you will earn more credits per hour than just sitting there doing nothing like you have been. Your little contributions will save time each match and increase the probability that the good player(s) will want to keep you around. You will be earning fast credits in no time!
