    What are the most XP efficient activities in the new levelling system?

    Since most of the data I got while researching this was out of date, I want to know what can be done to level up now that the XP system has been revised to make it possible to go to 6k without Pursuits.

    Do not recommend Hellbug Rampage or Gunslinger Arena Xod, I find those boring.

    I also regard those group based events as pointless, since the last time I tried, after I drove to the event location, everyone and their grenadespamrockitlaunchers had ended the event, leaving me looking at a bunch of players standing there doing nothing.

    Get good xp from WM usually 60-90k. Kenn Farm, if I get 10 mind there, I'm getting over 100k. Bathhouse incursions all the way can get over 100k score. Gunslingers can get good XP too plus if you want to still work on pursuits you can use a volge lightning rifle and on he'll bugs you can kill tons with a few shots and it helps on the snipe from the shadows pursuit. Most people do tank about 4500-5000 due to pursuits, now since there is no more soft cap I guess that's a problem of the past.

    Expos is decent xp. The marshal on war below gives 60k xp alone for killing him.

    the big hellbug bosses I've found give the most bang for your buck.

    Matron at the end of IoLS = anywhere from 15k for just putting a single shot on it to 58k-72k for a killshot
    Matron at that the end of that 1 arkfall major = 50k to 100k
    Hellion at the end of that 1 arkfall major 50k x 2 to 4
    The baby hellion that pops up at the end of that 1 arkfall maj = 50k x 3 to 5

    You'll get points for just shooting the things but the real trick is to get the killshot which is admittedly a crapshoot with so many people shooting at em


    Heard Dusko at the end of 101 and the Hulker at the end of Soleraptor give good xp but every time I've done em I haven't paid attention to the xp pop up.

    Rather than waiting for any one specific thing I frankly just hit whatever big thing happens to show up on the map at the time I'm looking. Incursion or Ark fall or whatever.

    It's likely not the most efficient way if doing it but I hate waiting around for any one specific thing and the variety makes feel a little less grindy.

    arenas are best....

    berk academy, just go to the radiation and electric nano bug's crystal.... break it and kill as many bugs as you can in 1min... ignore the gulanite

    i get about 3-4 greens off ground per crystal, so i make a tiny bit of script too

    I don't bother with expeditions, because I hate doing them solo.
    Before you say anything, it's some elitist snob rejecting my request to do it in group.
    After the first three times, I just stopped asking.

    I'm uncertain as to the wisdom of engaging that Hellbug Symbiote, the last few engagements were in the highest difficulty zone and all that achieved was to get oneshot by it's acid blast.
    And that's a tickle compared to what the Dark Matter skytank in the same zone does......

    I'm a little concerned about doing just one Arena to level up, I am not the kind of player who enjoys doing the same task for hours on end.

    As for Pursuits, all the easyish ones were done long ago.
    There are still some of the weapons Pursuits left, but as I hate using bad weapons/weapon levelling, I decided to not bother.
    And the remaining Pursuits are just an exercise in frustration, so I shelved them permanently.

    You might surprise yourself by enjoying the weapons pursuits. I did!
    Even the sawed off shotgun was fun.
    I found myself trying different builds and strategies to complete the weapon's pursuits and learned a lot too.
