Are you throwing nades at the lair? I think you said you throw at each picket - you need to throw at the lair while standing in the middle to hurt al 5 on you at the same time... What type of damage your nades do? Make sure the mob does not have any portection against it - like Gaping Spiders vs. C12 (blast damage).... Also, remember that capped unarmed convrts to 30k FS XP and capped Combat to 100K FS XP. So don't waste too much time on Unarmed....

Thanks for the tip.

I was not aware of this, I have been hitting each picket in turn assuming that there should be some collateral damage to the others. That would explain the high useage rate.

I don't waste too much time on unarmed, it just gets there on it's own

I always open my attack by hitting the lair with my pistol, wait for more spawns to generate to defend the lair then move in with the 'nades. Make sure, (as said) attack the lair only with the nades. Don't bother with any direct attacks on the critters, just stay within 3m of the lair, preferrably dead center. If there is just one or two half dead critters left after blasting away for awhile I usually issue a 'coup de grace' with my pistol since the nades are expensive.

Exactly. And when making sure to be hitting the lair with nades (you would by default try to hit back the last thing that hit you - in this case a Piket), that is why is good to attack couple of times (double tap) the lair - then when tossing nades (I use macro for 6 stacks), you need to makes sure that at the bottom of your combat queue says Lair!

i just try to get the highest health buffs possible, thermal detonatos kill my health bar, so i always suck on a neutron pixie. enteratiner buffs with that, makes u pretty much invincible. i go kill two baz nitch lairs near south east of science outpost, after that i get capped combat xp. i now have 4k journy to the village to dump the xp and start again. its by far the fastest way ive found to get combat xp. so im on a roll.

How are you capping after 2 lairs?

I killed a couple giant baz nitches the other day and only got about 4K combat xp each.

Not sure if hes Master Commando and what he can do with which nades but I doubt he can cap on two lairs. I think he was saying after these 2 am capped... You on the ohter hand my friend are not doing something right - you need to get between 40K and 60K Combat XP per lair - on whatever (I have no Commando so use C12s, on Hurton Stalker or Gaping Spiders). Read the guide here on fron page of FS profession, follow it. Toss nades on to lair, dont use your weapon except to finish them off - more weapon XP less Combat XP... TKM I get 5100+510 Combat XP for each Stalker or 4180+418 Combat XP for each gaping spider. Make sure you're in full Solo group to get 15 spawns out of each. Wild spawns are even more of them.

I thought they nerfed solo groups.

only the payouts (and that is still broken) the xp bonus is still there.
