Tip: target lairs with/pointblankarea1. Use speed-sliced T-21s with speed powerups. When you have lots of creatures around you, peace out and drop a few grenades onto the lair from range of 0 metres, then continue with therifle. You should get good buffs, 80%+ kinetic armor and aim for thehighest value lairs thatyou can handle. To maximize number of mobs per lair, join big solo groups and double-tap all your mission lairs (kill first wave, go to other mission, kill first wave there, return to first lair and destroy it, return to secondmission and destroy lair)

best place is the geo cave if you have a group and you can get the spawn up

I reccomend the squill cave, if its empty, you got the whole place to yourself and by the time you finish the cave, almost all of em respawn again, i maxed TKA there in about 30 minutes (thats 900k xp) and since my rifle is better than my VK, i could max in maybe 15 mins with master rifles...

This isn't a big secret, but I still hesitate to share this as it is nice to have the place pretty much to myself:
My favorite place to hunt is on Endor. The reason is that there are like 3x as many nests that spawn than most other places, and most of the critters are 4K to 5K. Start at the Smuggler Outpost and head towards the Death Watch Bunker (not sure the direction). Decent nests start spawning withing 250m of the outpost sometimes. I have rarelyhad to go more than 1200m to find all kinds of good things to kill in large numbers.
I am a "slow to medium" hunter and it takes me about 75 to 80 minutes to max my 900K rifle xp. By "slow to medium", I mean that I kill some things individually instead of going in guns a'blazing with StrafeShot2, plus I usually harvest all the meat which takes extra time. (I have a friend who pays me 3 cpu per unit of meat for grinding). I imagine a "fast" hunter could max rifle xp in 40 - 50 minutes on a decent night.
Last night was a prime example. I headed toward the DWB and about 600m out of the Smuggler outpost I was surrounded by three nests on my 128m radar. Two of the nests were Merricks (spelling?) and the third was Roba Boars. All of those things are 4K-5K each, and by working the nests right you can get 20-30 animals out of each nest. I happened to notice that within 23 minutes of my first shot I hadabout 350K+ ofrifle xp and a lot of meat to sell. Honestly, usually once I dismount my bike to start hunting, I store it anddon't even take it out again. If you have cleaned out all the nests on your radar, just start walking and you will get new nests within 60-100m.
Now there can be a lot of nests that are not 4K or 5K critters... more in the 2700 to 3500 range, but those are good because you can wipe them out in just a minute or two with SS2 for really quick xp. Since most lairs spawn 5 critters, so even at 3K each, three spawns plusthe nest is almost 50K of xp in just a minute or two.
CAUTION! THERE IS ONE CATCH: Some of the animals poison, disease, or bleed you, so you HAVE to be careful. The Merricks are nasty, but worth 4-5K. The Arachne spiders are nasty also, but spawn like crazy and vary from 3700-5K. It takes a little bit of learning, but it's usually a non-stop slaughter once you find a decent spot.
