Boosting Method in 2022 Solo or 2-Player

[NeW_CLeaR_HoRRoR]

So I decided this game seemed like an easy enough 'pick up and play'. But the guide made it seem like it was going to be a real marathon. So that's what I was expecting.

 

However,

 

I used (2) PS4's & did the miscellaneous trophies in Private Matches. You can just quit out with the 2nd Player in each game mode & get the completion with Player 1.

 

Killing (10) Hardsuits with a Flamethrower - You only need to kill the driver over & over again. I think I used (2) Hardsuits.

 

Now on to Onslaught. At first this seemed over-whelming until you play like I play. Stand in a corner. Not only did I beat Shelter solo 3 times, I beat it once with my Alt ((2) controllers manned by me) in the room. Some Zombies will come up to you but the majority just freeze in place until you move out of the corner. This works on all maps except the big maps are too tough to get to the computer. Terminus, you can just go up the stairs and only a few come up basically having the same effect. What you do is just move slightly forward then back into the corner and mow everything down.

 

So with two players, if both players stand in corners then "all" the zombies stay put. Once one player leaves 'his' zombies will come running while the other players zombies stay put. This allows you to get to the computer and finish the mini-game untouched. Some computers you can just stand in the corner at it and this has the same effect. On Shelter, if I remember correctly I was putting up 6K XP and 700 GP (purchasing the Double GP boost).

 

Since the game gives you 250 tokens I bought the 500 (x1) & the 100 (x3) which works out to like 2 bucks cheaper than buying the full 1000 token pack. (Why give them the extra cash right?)

 

After I had enough of actually playing Onslaught for fun (this was the only method I used to rank up) ... I just grenaded both players over & over again. Each match gives 1000 XP & GP is low but I was already at the 50K. I played maybe 70 matches of just grenading myself after my GP maxed out. Which equated to watching about a period and a half of the hockey game.

 

The LMG is a beast with the quick reload magazine. So you can just use heavy armor and waddle back and forth from the corner to the vending machine to the computer.

 

Sure a team works just fine as I had some great matches with randoms but if you have commitment issues then this is a pretty good method.

 

Edit: Screenshot added of final screen - 2nd player dropped out at beginning of match.

Thanks for the mini guide.

 

I'd like to add a "lazy" alternative:

Host a public Onslaught match, join with your alt account and ready up. Let your alt account get killed by the zombies and throw a grenade with your main on the ground to kill yourself and a dozen zombies. You usually get around 100-140GP if you have purchased the GP Duplicator. Finishing an Onslaught match always yields at least 1k XP no matter what, 500.000 XP is needed for the max level trophy and 50.000 GP is needed for the other trophy, you are looking at 500 matches x 3 minutes (loading times etc. included). You probably have earned some XP and GP by doing the other trophies so it is less than 500 matches and the 3 minute mark for one round is set higher because sometimes randoms join. You can votekick one player with both accounts but sometimes you are forced to create a new lobby and hope they "get the message".

 

Any other method will take you longer and I found playing Onslaught legit too much of a hassle. Hosting a private lobby is easier because you can give yourself 3.000 Credit Points to buy the Mech but you only earn ~100XP per match (GP should still be high enough though)

Are both of these methods only possible with two PS4's or can I get this done with two controllers and an alternate account?

I'll give some definite answers about the Onslaught scoring system so you don't have to grind hundreds of extra matches.

1. Each kill is 2 GP up to 15 kills. You'll want to get the 30 GP Combat Bonus by getting 15 kills. It becomes 60 GP with the duplicator. You will not get this bonus in Private matches.
2. The idle kick is around 2 minutes.
3. You'll get 1000 XP + your CP score in the match as your XP at the end. So if you choose to kill 15 with a grenade and end the game you'll get around 1100 XP. However, each headshot kill is 9 XP and a normal kill is 4 XP.
4. Your other biggest GP bonus comes from Time Played. This is where you want to adjust your idling time in a corner before getting 15 kills and ending a match. 30-second bleeding time will add to your Time Played.

Here are Time Played bonuses you want to consider (numbers are without 2x GP duplicator);

1. Dying as soon as the game starts. This is the worst thing you can do. The game will not end before the Zombies spawn which is after 20 seconds. You'll get a 15 GP Time played Bonus. Each cycle is around 1 minute.
2. Waiting for the zombies to spawn and dying with a grenade and taking out 15 Zombies with you as soon as possible. You'll get 15-20 GP Time Played. Each cycle is around 1:30 minutes.
3. Waiting until 1:30 minute is passed which is around your alt is completely dying on their own from the damage from the Zombies. You'll get 30-35 Gp Time Played. Each cycle is around 2:10 minutes. 
4. Waiting for Mission Failed screen by not activating the control point which is around 3 minutes and 20 seconds in-game time. You'll get 60 Time Played. Each cycle is around 4:10 minutes.

I haven't extensively tested in Private matches because it is a waste of time IMO. But you'll get around 30 GP by setting up the Health multiplier to 3x and letting zombies kill you. They will do that in 1:30 minutes. Strangely if you actively play run-around shoot them you will get a 50 GP Time Played bonus. If you compare that with number 3 doing the same thing in Public matches will grant you 70 GP plus the XP bonus. 

 

Lastly, the total GP earned under the General tab is just an addition of Earned GP stats from the game modes you have played. The only game mode that doesn't have Earned GP stat is Deathmatch so there is no point doing that in Public matches for a GP bonus. I highly recommend getting the game mode trophies in public matches as much as you can do with an alt. I got around 33k in Onslaught in 280 matches the rest 17k is from doing public matches with an alt. When a random joins your lobby after the game starts, team switch with both accounts and quit with an alt to get an easy win without any interruption. Remember you have to be the host in order for this to work, vote kick doesn't seem to work other than Onslaught at least for me.

 

Note: yes the grind is that boring so I did count some numbers

You need 2 consoles, because there's no local co-op option so inviting another account won't work if you only have 1 PS4.
