Thread: How long..
The only way to power through it imo is to just do a lot of missions, you'll need the money once you make commando anyway.
But after you kill all the animals, beat up the lair unarmed to get good unarmed XP. It takes a long time but the XP is worth itbut be onthe look out for new critters popping out of the lair you're beating on.
I hated going through the rifle under marksman, took forever and it was boring imo. The speed gets much better under master rifle and they're extremely powerful but i just don't have the patience for it.
As a trando I had a bit of a leg up on unarmed, most will probably tell you that's the biggest grind of them all. I powered my BH friend through unarmed in about 2 days though. Now he can eye shot kill me in about 2 seconds with the LP. So I gave in and bought a composite helmut to help with an obvious weakness with my trando(mindless) character.
