Hey all,

Wondering if peeps had any suggestion for good farming locations?

Post wormhole fulton

I'm currently seeing good returns on the containers in 12 for the fuel, 14 for the container of common materials and 26 for the small camp with the red biological.

Anyone come across anywhere better or quicker, say under 90 seconds, to grab 7500+ materials

Mission 12, like you said, is pretty fantastic for fuel.

For anyone having fuel problems:
* select mission 12
* skip the cutscene
* turn around and take out the two guards
* fulton the fuel on the left side of the hangar
* pick up the intel file on the right side of the hangar
* skip the cutscene
* wait for the game to save your resources
* go to the pause menu screen and restart the mission

Unfortunately that's the only one I know of, but it's also very effective.

I'm personally trying to find a good mission for staff farming. So far I think Mission 22 is the best one because you can restart it right from mother base, and the area is pretty small.

I usually hit the Soviet main base and Nova Braga airfield.

Ah yeah, the mission 14 has a red container just to the left of where you're facing from the default drop location.

Just run in, grab it, quietly pop the guard and run back from the camp, which triggers the cut scene. Maybe two minutes all in.

Mission 26 takes a little longer, the container is just over the hill in a small camp with five guards. Two in towers, two under cover and one roaming. Everyone's in range of a good tranq pistol to save money on the deployment.

Mission 9 after you beat the game is great for farming S Ranks. If you block the northern road with D-horse and fulton all the APCs instead of blowing them up, they have 4-6 S rank soldiers each. Was trying to get the S rank for the mission and inadvertently filled my base with S ranks.

For farming S Ranks just do mission 28/48 without killing the skulls and you'll get around 40 soldiers with service crosses during the escape.

There are no fixed locations for S rank soldiers, only for "higher rank" and "lower rank" soldiers.
The ranks of soldiers spawned is based on the average rank of all MB staff, plus maybe a couple of other factors like heroism score.

As such it's important to sort out lesser ranked soldiers and level those up with higher stats, over time this helps to boost the "average rank" of MB staff even more in addition to the increase trough new staff fultoned in the field. Once the average rank of your MB staff gets into A+/A++ regions the game will spawn S rank soldiers with quite some regularity, the same applies with an average MB staff rank of S: The game will spawn S+ in the world.

Most outposts and "solider groups" have a pretty diverse makeup of mostly 2-3 crappy guys (crappy ranks, boaster or negative skill) and 1-2 guys which are pretty good (all ++ stats or positive skill and very good stats). Some missions also seem to spawn soldiers of a certain quality somewhat predictable. Mission 3 A Hero's Way starts out with a jeep driving towards the outpost, 2 of those soldiers will pretty much always have an S rank in combat later in the game. The target of that mission can spawn with all A++ stats, never seen him with an S tho.

Another tip for mission 28/48: Use the cardboard box to travel between outposts after killing the Skulls, because ALL the soldiers on the map will be stunned.
