MattPieti Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Yesterday I was looking for sessions to join late for easy experience. I found an Egg Hunt mission that had supposedly been in progress for over 14 hours. Mutators were Double XP and Elite Threat. I joined, finished the match, and was getting ready to leave when the host started it up again. Huh, that's strange. I hadn't seen it on the mission board. I must have missed it. So I stick with them for one more run since it was relatively fast, then I see it was past time for the missions to reset. What a shame - we barely missed getting in another run. Then the same mission starts again. Huh? I stick with them for a few more runs until the host disbands the group. Then I see another group hosted by a different player running the same mission with a 16+ hour session. I stick with them for a while, same story, then later I see yet another host running the same mission for 20+ hours. Anyone know how this was done? I got about half a promotion worth of levels on my Gunner and almost a full promotion worth of levels on my Driller from about 6 hours of playtime and I'd really like to replicate it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha well if you want that specific mission you’ll have to reverse your time back to when you were doing that mission… because double XP missions change everyday by a small variation.

People have been doing this exact mission for over 24 hours now. Same name, mission type, mutators, length, and complexity. If they're using the system clock to get it, it must be a specific time that it showed up. Clearly multiple people know how to do it since I've now played in four groups that all ran the same one.

Yea the players who have already platted this game will have abused this double xp glitch too. You can message them what time/day they put their time too but I’d imagine any egg mission double XP with 4 competent players will be close enough as good as that specific mission anyway.

Yes we've tried other types of missions but they seem slower, especially with randoms. With a full team that is efficient you can average a promotion every 4 hours, whereas late joining missions will give you one every 6-7 hours I'd say. It's still a long ass grind ? Playing with randoms, it might take a bit longer depending on what they do. You might get people that want to take their time (understandable), or some that are unaware that you don't need to finish trylite events successfully for the XP... We'd love to find a similar mission but with any other warning. Elite Threat can be an ammo killer, and you don't want to have to mine Nitra if you can avoid it ? Oh, and a warning is important because since you are popping all Eggs at once, you kinda need to play on Haz2 to be able to deal with the amount of enemies that will spawn at once. A warning kinda makes up for the lower XP modifier you get from not playing on Haz3, if that makes any sense.

Toxin + fear = enemies run away, you're not losing ammo, you can focus on mining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's unfortunately the worst class for this mission type combined with the vertical shape of this cave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Elite Threat is tied for giving the highest bonus among red mutators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anton1453 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 (edited) Haha! The jig is up! Im a Swedish developer and even day one, I started to work on this. I figured out how the map seeds worked and I have been playing with it ever since. I have found some other major bugs. I have made a website for a couple of XP times that me and my friends use. It doesn't have a domain, it's cause it's not supposed to be shared. Enjoy my website. DRG - XP Table Since the jig is up.. I will make my github repository public for anyone to use and view the code. I will just have to make sure nothing critical is in it regarding my webserver. (PS, I have also solved how to get the new PS+ game: ARK platinum trophy faster & easier) Edited March 2, 2022 by anton1453 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Total feast" 17.02.2022 - 5:00am GMT Takes about ~8min. to complete for 10-15k exp on Haz 2 Error cube adds 8k exp on top of that, but they're very rare. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
