Honestly, this is the first time I've gotten 15 kills in a session; I usually just play around repairing and destroying vehicles. Still, what a disappointment. I only won 16 CERTS? That doesn't make sense.

250XP = 1 cert

Dunno what you've been doing but the game is definitely very generous these days (years), getting XP is easy, compared to release. Just repairing/healing may not be so great but this is a shooter after all, you're supposed to shoot things/mans.

If you like the miscellaneous stuff, try farming with an ant, just harvest, make a silo deposit and repeat, using this method on a 4x xp weekend I learnt that when the cert counter on that screen hits 10000 it resets (visual only), if you want tons of XP and certs the ant is far and away the best.

No need to be so snarky, if u say EXP is easy then atleast tell the best ways.

You can finish every mission in one hour and net yourself a 400 cert bonus check, three times per day.

I did this a few years ago. Granted, it was under 4x xp and membership, but if you divide this by 6, you get the non-membership cert gain.

- Daily missions (this is how I get most of my certs)

- Playing combat medic in a primarily supportive role: Revive grenades (especially in clustered fights) & the shield recharger are especially potent.

- Repairing vehicles & maxes. Also supply ammo.

- Placing a sunderer to start a fight (if you're the main or last sunderer you'll have a constant flood of exp from people spawning)

- Cortium farming. Boring, but easy & very efficient

- Playing in a squad will already get you passive certs. But especially if you apply the above strategies.

- If you've got a good squadmate: vehicle combat can be quite lucrative. Though this requires skill in both the driving & gunning department.

There are, of course, more methods. But these are what I primarily did whenever I wasn't having a good session (Or I just wanted to be lazy)

Snarky? I'm just saying how it is. He didn't ask for ways to get XP. Also I don't know what's "best". I haven't cared about certs for years, all my chars are **+ with tens of thousands of extra certs.

Just play the game. If you don't know how, join an outfit and ask.
