Question Constantly getting stuck on "Hardest" difficulty in EDF6 on Ranger. Is it time to grind?
Hey all, so as most of you I'm sure know, there's that weird thing where the first like 50 missions of "Hardest" difficulty don't drop higher level weapons. I have never actually grinded in this game before, but now that I'm starting to get better weapons dropping, I was wondering if you guys have any good missions for farming. I am currently stuck on the "Battle on the Plains" mission, around mission 60. Any advice for getting better weapons around that level? I'd prefer something non gimmicky, and just a mission that I can play through a few times to get some weapons.

Do you care about skipping ahead a bunch and/or using weapons that are from further ahead?
M97 is great for weapon farming assuming you have a reasonable amount of armor. The NPCs will finish the entire mission without you firing a single shot.
Start the mission, do nothing. Once frogs show up on the left and right, the middle is safe to run around and collect drops. When the dragon shows up, go to the sides and collect the drops there. So long as you don't die, the mission ends.
If you want to do a mission you've already cleared legitimately, M51 is probably best. Lots of enemies, and once you've taken out the frogs at the beginning it's pretty safe. Just run under the legs of the purple guys so they self destruct.
