So anyone just wondering how people are maing 100k+ Global Event Credits per hour?
Lets do some math:
Legendary Missions Giver 1575 + couple hundred for bosses so lets say 2k per fun, that's basicall finised a legendary run EVERY 1 Minute for the top leader on PC. (121, 788 / hr)
Running Lexition: 750 + 150 for the 1 boss = 900 per run so that's 135 lexiton runs per hour. Basicaly finished every 30 sec
Anyone else a little susupicous of the numbers being displayed on the leader borads?
These leaderboards are a joke. Even if you have, like me at the last GE, additionally more than 60 Survival and Last Stand/Skirmish caches (170 + 85 GE Credits), this result is not possible. I needed nearly 15 mins to open all the caches divivded on two characters and in the rest of the time, I played Hudson seven or eight times. I reached a bit more than 13.000 and I don't think it is possible that I can get much more within one hour. Having 100K is like saying openly: I am a cheater, in my view. It's just logical thinking.
The usual trick is to completely fill your entire inventory up with last stand caches, then go around the map doing every single mission up until the final boss. Once you've done that, then you simply jump back to each mission in rapid succession killing the boss at each one. Once that's done, simply open up all the last stand caches.
I've just never understood the appeal of leaderboards in a videogame....I mean, it's a videogame. It's not as if any of it actually matters or means something.
One of the previous GEs I saw a streamer basically using a whole bunch of friends to quickly complete stuff so he was just jumping between groups with almost zero contribution to the credits he was getting while doing something similar I think (I was fairly new to the game at the time) to what Paul described above.
While not quite to that level if you have a few players who know how to do clear sky its possible to speed run it pretty quickly - rather than the horrendous way most randoms try to do it.
Relax guys. Just another example of Massive's definitions not meaning what you think they mean. Im sure when they said 'credits earned', they obviously did not mean legitimately as in completing matches from start to finish or not opening caches you earned from the last GE etc etc. If they thought it was an issue they would have closed the loopholes along time ago. So.....
Just remember when they indicate one thing.... then they probably mean something else. ^^
Eight! It can be done much faster with the right gearsets and players.Originally Posted by rosch15 Go to original post
I farmed GE credits with this method during the first and second GE with a team of friends and it did indeed work. Nevertheless, it is a lot of stress and you need a few hours. For example, we played Napalm until the elevator; then, we fast-travelled to Hudson and played it until the last part and so on. We did about eight missions this way and then, jumped back to Naplam. The way was clear so that we could go to the elevator, but we had to walk from the starting point of the mission. Frequently, we had to walk a short distance and lost a bit of time, but there were no NPCs left, apart from the bosses and their friends in the last part or room. But I earned about 13.000 this way, not 100K. However, I thought Ubi fixed it after the second GE, but apparently, I was wrong and it is still possible to do the "leave-over-the-bosses method. Too much effort for a weapon or backpack skin and a classy gear piece.
