When I was looking for fast money and mostly just starting out, I did a LOT of Bronzes. Here's why: I could do them solo if I needed to, I never needed to use equipment or resources to finish them, and even with an average group of randoms I could polish off five or six per hour. When I played on Silver or higher, especially early on, I died a lot, and that slowed everything down for me and my teammates, and I used equipment up, which meant that instead of buying Spectre packs and PSPs I was blowing my cash on equipment packs. But Bronze...hell yeah. Even at a measely four per hour (which isn't terribly hard to maintain at all) you are probably going to make more money than when doing silver or gold only because you will complete 2 to 3 times as many missions (unless you are in a super-awesome party, in which case...)

Giant rippaz platinum. Make sure someone plays allmighty melee juggy and camp the LZ. Easiest credits I've had in this game.

Easier than the original FBWGG?

BaronWhitey your advice is perhaps the best and makes a lot of sense.

4 Bronze at 17k each in 1hr > 2+ Gold at 80k each in 1hr?

Aye, but the question is can they handle gold. What Baron said is valid because you use nothing you're after later when buying. So if you can constantly extract on bronze with nothing invested, you get clean profit.

So in case where you are sure to extract each time using no equipment, but can't do so in silver or higher, profit out of nothing invested other than time seems quite efficient.


Edit: At least for people that are new to the game.

Not disputing that.

Not disputing that.

It even scales nicely with the difficulty x player is comfortable

I've done plenty of Jade/Glacier speedruns, and I've enjoyed each one of them for reasons other than the credits.

This. Even with my maxed manifest, I like to do speedruns as well as regular Platinum. Speedruns because of the tight coordination required to get the speedrun to go, the amazing saves when something goes wrong, and the feeling of having done something difficult and done it well. I also play Gold, but at this point, I'm only playing for the fun of it and to help people who want to max manifests get there. RNG trolling you in the store? Troll it back with some sub-ten or sub-nine minute Platinum games.

Also: speedruns because sometimes I only have 15 minutes to play and my friends all want to do Platinum. Compromise solution!

I like Jade for the consistency of the spawns, Glacier to break up the monotony, and Goddess because it's a fiddly tricky map. I want to have a strategy ready for Condor so I can get out of those games more quickly, but it's proving to be challenging to get my top-tier speedrun nerds in one lobby to experiment, die a lot, and use a lot of equipment trying to get the Condor run to work.

It is wrong on so many levels.

 

1, You are not learning anything new on bronze. You are denying the chance to progress to the next level.

2, It quickly becomes a grind, you get bored.

3, You are developing bad habits of not using any equipment or consumables because, 'god forbid' you have to buy an equipment pack.

4, You are denying yourself the chance to meet good players (and good players have several benefits, they can carry, they can teach you, etc.).

5, Also new players won't be able to grind bronze without equipment, anyone who can do so should be able to play on gold using strong kits and full equipment. Even after buying 2 JEPs you have 90k+ profit after two gold games. You need to finish 6 bronze games to beat this, i.e. you would need sub 10min bronze games. Of course, it is doable by a good player with good weapons but by someone relatively new without equipment?

The speech starts at around 8:30 for about 2 minutes. He definately prepared it. Nevertheless, it is true. And if some of you will not take it for granted then at least you will come close to realizing it as you grow up.

Makes perfect sense, and I did play Bronze only for the first two days. But now I already can play Silver no problem (although disasters happen every now and then, which is impossible on Bronze). Usually get sub-20 minutes Silver rounds (18-20), so it's way more effective than 14 minutes Bronze rounds.

Of course not

Not true at all. I've been playing 2 evenings straight of Bronze, and much more SIlver already. Only started using some consumables yesterday. As for non-consumable equipment - I didn't have anything that fits my main characters until recently.

Speedrun Plat Glacier with GI - but beware: it's rdidiculous, fast and takes away the whole point of playing the game. I did it a couple of times and took a break of several months of MEMP shortly after.

 

Find some decent people who are willing to carry you, do some Platinum runs, you'll have millions in short. Just don't go Condor or London.

 

But in honest, you may find yourself more at peace with letting go about the "i need credit fast" fixation. Play the game for fun, overkill on instant gratification only adds to ennui with yourself and the game.

[LuckyStarr]

Play the game for fun

Of course I do. But if at the same time I can earn good stuff faster, which means I can become a better player faster, - why not?

[Catastrophy]

Stuff =/= better player - Stuff = potential faster game

 

There is no more efficient way to take credits than speedrun Plat, a good time/credit ratio is also a gold game with friends. It just gets boring fast.

[bauzabauza]

if you want credits why not use space magic  , but if you think, you know that is a game braker and bla bla bla ethics and morals, well all you need is a good team of friends and time
