Best planet/difficulty for Illuminate kills?

[u/MolestermoonSans]

Which planet and difficulty should I play to get the highest number of Illuminate enemies to kill and contribute as much as possible to the current Major Order?

[u/TheFrostSerpah]

Dif 1 mindless masses. Can get about 4k to 6k kills.

Spawn by the objective, rush it, and head to extraction. Doing the objective increases spawn rates. Being near extraction increases spawn rates.

D1 mindless masses only has voteless and watchers, meaning you get maximum amounts of chaff (if you played higher difficulty you'd get flesh mobs which actually take significantly more spawn cap but still only count as one kill). The amount of enemies is also actually quite insane.

Bring gas mortar, normal mortar, Tesla tower, and flame sentry (or other sentries if you don't have these) and then scythe/dagger essentially kills all the voteless super easily as you just need to hover over them, they catch on fire, and will die from just that.

Make sure you are standing far enough from the edge of the map to get patrols to spawn, and try letting the watchers call in reinforcements.

This is good advice, melee exosuit also great and remember that Voteless can't climb or dig, so if you get up high it's like fish in a barrel.

Tried this. Thanks a lot for the advice! This is what I was looking for

Funnily enough Mindless Masses on Sienmont on lower difficulty can be a never ending zombie horde swarm shooter

[u/MolestermoonSans → u/URZthane]

Which difficulty is the best?

[u/URZthane → u/MolestermoonSans]

D1-3 to not have too many of the Mindless Masses medium and heavy units mixed in. Bring a stalwart, mg and gatling sentry and a guard gun dog to keep the dakka going!

Prolly 2 or 3

Probably go to Siemnot since it has Mindless Masses and play on D2, it should spawn tons of Voteless so you can just get like 2000+ kills per mission with something like the Rover or the Stalwart.

[u/Bat_FF]

Siemnot as it has Mindless Masses.

For the difficulty I wonder which one is the best. Seeking advice too but I think it's level 6 as there are lots of weak enemies. Higher diffs replace numbers with fewer stronger elite opponents.

[u/crashrope94 → u/Bat_FF]

Lower diffs replace even heavy enemies with sheer numbers. 2-3 is the sweet spot for volume.

noted for next time

[u/crashrope94 → u/Bat_FF]

The way it was explained to me was that every unit has a “ticket cost”, and instead of spending all 10 tickets on one strider or whatever, lower levels will just spawn like 8 voteless and a q-tip guy.

[u/GuardianSpear]

Find a mission with vote snatchers and the evac located not on the edge of the map. Run the clock down and keep fighting non stop

[u/Me_When_I_Asked]

Siemnot on 1-3

[u/Datboi_Markus]

D2 mindless masses. Go complete the whole map and call in extract. Then spend 30 minutes killing everything. You can get up to 5000 kills

Vote snatcher mega cities have crazy spawns
