Fastest way to level BMG's?..

[squidgod2000]

BMGs gather experience too slowly for any method to be effective.

However, the best farming method would be the San Quentin Hulker: fry him, and then when he enters his final rage state, die and you restart at him, but he has full health again. Repeat.

Nah. The best method is to load up on defensive perks, pick up a strong shield, tape down your RMB and find a good spot to AFK (mobs that will damage you, but not too much; no people wandering by killing the mobs; inside a private dungeon instance is best). Just check back every half hour or so to swap out BMGs.

Does anyone main bmgs? Doesnt seem to have a strong roll. maybe at high skill lvl?

Doubt it. Tried to be a healer during an arkfall a few times, but it was too hard to figure out who actually needed healing. and target them. Worst part is that they disappear for a few seconds repeatedly when the game starts swapping back and forth between their outfit and the default. Plus with self revive and the general ease of the game, it's really not needed.

I lost count but overall it probably took me between 16 and 18 BMG's to hit level 10.

Is there a vendor that sells moddable BMGs, or did you just save them as you got them?

I can't remember the name of the vendor but if you want to spend rep to buy them the vendor north of Topnotch next to the docks has the Colider and a few others. Most of the other rep vendors have them but they are pretty crappy.

Use stingray (preferably with +1 link bonus), overcharge + killing machine perk (increased duratrion) + killing spree perk (extend duration on kill). Endless, fast respawn and unlimited overcharge.

Self-heal doesn't give you exp.

It does gives xp on self-heal, but it's very very slow.

[sc9000]

Just buy bits get the 10% bonus for skill on self, get 5% self on group, get 7% clan bonus and go to san quinten hulker do it that way and if with a friend get the extra 5% group bonus for total 27% bonus skill, still slow but will work or you do all those boost and run co-op with friends fast as hell and repeat it, and pray the boost work for you in co-op right now it 50/50 that they will all work. If co-op not working because of the games bugs , then you can find a nice little corner in the map and just grind there with those bonus if the hulker is full with people that are using the rockets to kill it port stinsen works well on the emergency there ,and near a shop.

Hopefully in later DLCs, healers become much more needed. I'll be ready with my BMG skill sitting at 20. xD

I have a loadout just for arkfalls (yes i love doing them) that consists of an LMG and a BMG....

In a major arkfall, i run around with my BMG most of the time at the minors and only switch out to the LMG for heftier targets. Healing and tagging everything I can. At the end of each I have a sea of ammo/salvage/scip to pick up.

At the main event I BMG tag all mobs I can and heal and switch out to the LMG for the boss or when the other bugs expose their weak spot. I NEVER have an issue with ammo even with all the cartards around and I always get max keys now.

You wont get on the score board most of the time or high damage values, but who cares. Score boards mean squat, its the keys and XP that count and I get max both for all arkfalls now.
