Heal allies during Major Arkfalls.

You don't gain weapon skill in major arkfalls. Or at least you aren't supposed to. It sometimes happens when you kill the final boss for some reason (I've capped a gun when the symbiote died before..) but its usually so negligible that its more a fluke then something to plan on.

Nice . Good Job

False.
You do gain weapon exp in BMG's only when heal in arkfalls.
I notice that when i tried to get my 5 keycodes once.

As far as BMG leveling goes, I believe the secondary links do not add to your exp.

The test is simple. I have tried to level up both via SQ hulker and Big Stone Reach.

In all theory, hitting x10 skitterlings should level me a lot faster than a hulker which is x3 (when hitting the face).

That is NOT the case.

Therefore stingrays are terrible at this despite how fun they are in sieges. Tele-spanner and plain old VOT spanner with -0.06 damage charge is probably best for the job.

I did some leveling with bmgs at both areas mentioned above but I still found it much easier to use a stingray at sieges and healing at arkfalls. Plus 1 to links and using dueling was great.

Would you mind sharing your PVP build? When I have come across you in PVP you pretty much instantly kill me with what ever infector you have. I suck at PVP badly but usually against other infectors I can run away and heal because I equip almost every defensive perk and have an over 1800 damage shield. But against you I die almost as soon as the first bug hits me. To be clear I am in no means accusing you of cheating or hinting at it.

What did you do to get EGO exp? I'm almost done with all my pursuits and all I have left is to get Wep/EGO exp. I do emergencies+arkfalls and PvP quite often. I'm at 3000 EGO atm, and doing almost nothing but Wep/EGO exp to get to 5000 seems like a drag...

Hey I feel ya. There are some players out there who do the same to me and I wonder how. I did notice that I was picking on you more so than others. Just kept running into you in PvP. Here is the build, gear and the immunizer I used. You will notice that the Immunizer has increased damage everywhere so it makes sense how it hurts.

Sadly all pursuits leaves around that. The rest is done by running around killing stuff for your weapon xp levels and after that, plain and simple leveling. Best way that doesn't get dull for grinding normal xp is Major Arkfalls.

Lol hypocrite?

Another quick tip for players who like to run major arkfalls and might not be getting full rewards when it's completed. The fastest way to get full reward is to use BMGs for healing other players or revive an ally. This is perfect for those situations where you see 3 or 4 major arkfalls on the map and you're worried you wont make it to them all in time and if you do, you don't get full rewards. Simply port to ones that are either the close to be finished or ones that go by quickly (i.e. scrapper and ones with immature hellion or matron). Go to them, heal someone else real quick or revive an ally that is down, then go to the next major arkfall.

Quick note that the arkfalls do NOT have to be in the final phase for this to work. One could literally just started and you healed someone or revived and then you moved onto the next one. Your rewards so far unless changed in upcoming patches will not get reduced like they would if you were to use normal means of completing the arkfall (i.e. destroying crystals and/or waves of enemies).

Another quick note, if you leave your world phase to port to a friend that happens to be in a different world phase, you lose all reward from that current world phase. To check if your friend, group leader or clan mate is in a different world phase, open up your social menu page and check your friends list. If they have an icon that is green and with a checkmark through it, they are in your current world phase. If the icon is red and has a X through it, this player is currently in a different world phase. This comes in handy when you're grind arkfalls for experience and keycodes. Simply clear your world map and then check your friends list and port to a friend then hunt more arkfalls.

Hope this helps out. I have more hints and tips if needed. Just ask away.

thought they patched arkfall tagging? can you confirm whether healing someone and then moving to the next arkfall in your phase still gives you rewards?

I'll log on real quick and check right now.

EDIT: Yes, still works. I just went to a Scrapper Major Arkfall. Healed an ally for around 100 hp or so and then took off and checked hidden vendors etc. About 10 minutes later, full rewards...5 keycodes etc. Tag And Bag with BMG heals or revive an ally and get full credit. To be sure it worked, this arkfall had just spawned with full timer
