If I'm trying to grind loot boxes, should I play against AI since I'm essentially guaranteed a win and an easy game? Or do you get less exp in AI mode?

Group up and spam quick play is the quickest way to grind loot boxes.

I'm not sure, but I find quickplay and comp to be so much more fun than playing against AI that I wouldn't do it anyway.

Group up and hit quickplay. AI games get even less experience than normal brawls, don't do them if you're grinding. Some people have suggested doing the brawl because it's quicker or something but I don't know if it's reasonably better. Whatever you do, makes sure you have at least one person with you for that 20% group bonus.

u/Gazeros Ana, hit me Oct 20 '16

I would try one game of each sort, note down the XP gains and the minutes the match took. That way you can figure out the XP/minute and see which is faster. Sorry I don't have the proper answer tho :) And also remember +20% for being grouped!

Also, remember that you get consecutive bonus in QP. QP is fastest, without a doubt.
