is there a easy/faster way to level bmgs
nope, grind it out
Yes, go to the prison, (forget the name) where a Hulker will spawn, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qydSgNkNiY4 That place.Quote:

After he goes back and forth between the 2 crates he will take his helmet off. Run up and activate Overcharge and shoot him in the brain to do increased damage, thus speeding up the BMG leveling process. After he starts attacking every 20 or 30 seconds just kill yourself and extract. This will reset his health so that he won't attack so frequently.
Rinse and repeat, oh, and bring lots of BMGs.
If something doesn't make sense just ask!
Or just jump into the water on the crates to reset him : )

Would be nice if it triggered more instances, but currently, looks like someone is doing exactly that you said above and no one else can join them
You should be able to go into the Hulker area and kill him.
I caught someone doing the reset, waited for a while but just jumped over the wall and killed it so others could have a go.
You could also try and relog see if you get another shard.
I've had the same purp bmg in my inventory pretending that one day I'll actually use it.
My least favorite weapon class by far.
First of all, just cause the gate is locked doesn't mean you can't get in there (you can, just jump up the crates and over the gate).Quote:

Edit: Also while you can fire in from over the gate, don't. The Hulker will chase you out and whoever was on the other side will be trapped with no way to complete the instance and you'll have no way to lure the Hulker back to the other side of the gate. I accidentally griefed someone this way once...though they warped out and I suicided to reset the Hulker and then they came back and we finished it together.
you can if you jump over the wall where they are fighting it thats what i did anywayQuote:

Yes, you can jump in there, but then you just get nasty tells from the farmer that thinks they own the place.Quote:

Not everyone is there to farm weapon xp, maybe they are there to do the kill 10 hulker contract...in that case, blowing him away with the rocket launchers is fastest. Which will surely piss off any xp farmers in the instance. There are other places to kill hulkers, but San Quentin is by far the fastest way to get 10.Quote:

While engraged, if you suicide he usually resets.......not always, though.
There is a specific way to do it bit I'm not sure this is the best place to talk about it.
I feel like everyone has forgotten the first rule of Fight Club....
Try a PM next time instead of plastering this stuff all over the forums. The community would like to thank you for the upcoming fix....(repetative expletives)
The scrapper Forge:
In his Yellow eye, low.
In the Yellow lines high.
His yellow eye gives you insane amounts of XP if you can hold onto it until it shuts.
Do the storyline with only a BMG.
I'm serious. The scrapper takeover mission near the end is ridiculous.
Not fast, though. Not fast at all. But it's a ridiculous challenge that's... fu-- fuuuu--
Scrapper salvage is better because you get keycodes.
Yes well we were joking about Hulker. There is no need to change it. We did not grind any weapons there. Every of us playing Arkfalls, Co-ops etc.
It's okay like it is. Nothing to worry :)
(Shhh, Fight Club)
