Fastest way to level BMG's?..

[Hiero Glyph]

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.

Please go power level your BMGs somewhere else. You are honestly not helping anyone by using them at arkfalls, especially not yourself.

Power level? Do you mean weapon skills? You get zero weapon skills (excluding the tiny bit you get from healing) at major arkfalls. The friendly Hulker at SQ is much better for that.

I enjoy it and it accomplishes exactly what it is intended to do for me, maximize my key and XP gain. So it does indeed help myself. I could be a cartard i suppose.

I just wish that the BMG heal button would act as a reload for the BMG damage button.

It's got such low damage that it takes forever to grind on a badguy, and then you have to reload to, all the while your mates are taking damage.

If you could grind a badguy, heal your mates then grind again, it'd be a lot more fun, and I wouldn't be leaving all the heavy lifting to the other guys.

Leveling these was not so bad until they nerfed the crap out of them. Up the exp modifier, thanks.

bmgs level at arkfalls only when healing im sure of it and they seem to level pretty fast. I heal always at arkfalls and i dont feel guilty about it as i know most people are getting their revives done with freinds. I use the bmg as a secondary in all my loadouts.

Healing is the slowest, dmg is fastest imo. Go for dmg/crit perks (run and gun for example), dual wield, and shoot humanoid NPCs in the head.

Use 2 BMGs, reload and switch.

Yeah..

I'm sure a lot of you know how agonizing it is to grind BMG levels..

I've spent a good two hours on it now and i've barely gotten past level 2.

I've tried both DMG on a hulker as well as healing other players when I can.

Has anyone found a fast and efficient way to grind them?

You have to de-activate a turret & then jus keep shooting. Maybe tape trigger down as ur gna b there a while. Good luck. Im on level 6 from simple things like this on my bmg

Nice try, but turrets gives no weapon XP.

There's no fast way. I've ground dozens of hulkers and hundreds of bugs to dust and the BMG bar barely moves, even with boosts.

Best advice I can give? Make it your primary weapon on all but your Arkfall loadout, and use it all the time. Boost. Use Overcharge. Grind hulkers, swarms, low damage reduction mobs (i.e. NOT Hellbug Warriors with good damage resistance).

Even then it will still take forever. Good luck.

are you making sure to change out your BMG's? once you level a bmg you can not gain anything else from it. I have a backpack full of BMG's to swap through so I never run out of exp.
