Salvage gear rather than sell it. Scrip is useless.
I'm going to have to say that most people on here aren't going to tell their secret spots. As soon as they do, a lot of people are going to swoop in on those spots. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but some spots need certain things to be done (or not done) in order for them to become great loot spots.
I will share one good spot with you, which most people are aware of anyway so it's no big secret. The motherlode co op map is great. On a loot weekend it is easy to pick up 40-50 items per run through, more if you add additional boosts to it. Plus there are a few mobs that have the potential to drop blues as well.
I do, but I heard people making thousands of salvage last weekend. I made no where close to that.Quote:

Sutro Tower down in san Fran.
Trick is get it the the stage where you have to activate turrets activate the two turrets on the one building peace the other turret alone.
Two groups of 4 dark matter will endlessly spawn.
If you and a group of friend all have group loot and individual loot. You can farm 100k ark salvage an hr. If not more. You have to have alot of inventory spots while two people are hitting the matrix tye other two kill the groups rinse repeat.
This is the spot most farm their ark salvage. As I quit the game I have no issue giving up this info.
Let me know if you want to know how to farm 2keys every 45seconds.
Afflicted emergencies. The ones with reapers are a goldmine. The rest you just get on top of a truck or crate with a BMG and take your time frying the poor bastards.
Since this is a more known spot, I'll add that you can do this solo as well once you get it going good. If you need to take a break or break down stuff, go up the ladder to the 3rd floor (where you had to access the computer system in order to reboot the generators). That is a safe spot where you can do anything you need to do as the dark matter cannot climb the ladderQuote:

I salvage everything I don't need that isn't white. White gear I sell for scrip, for use on sale items when a vehicle or mod I want pops on a vendor.Quote:

hmmmm 2keys every 45secs Ill bite where?Quote:

Once you have the pattern down you can farm 2keys every 45seconds.
Its basically a rehash of mine99 in a tighter area.
Abuse it till its nerfed.
Sorry haven't played for about a month so I forget the name of it.
