Alright, so like i said, im kinda new to it... My brother is about 75-80% done with FS i would say, and ive capped him a few times and watched him a little bit while he is going at it... regardless to say, we are both in highschool, and unfortunately for him he is in serious AP classes and is a serious Gymnast and only gets in about 2-4 hours a week, while im more of the 'smart but would rather play video games' kidna guy, and i play this game upwords of 10-15 hrs a week...


Now getting on to it, the other day i was bored and just got glowy relatively easily(nyms theme park, warren, bens house) and this afternoon i got visited by the old man, now i have a day or two to decide... What should i do to grind FS exp...


I am currently, i would say, in no serious template to grind out serious FS exp... I do have a 575 max geo pistol that never misses, so i do serious damage, since most guys are stun vunerable or atleast low % resist, but i lack the area attack(we have cone and random attack mode i think it attacks a few people in the same attack, maybe not and its just random attack im not exactly sure) so im not sure i can grind out the serious exp... plus this grenade thing is quite interesting...


I currently have this pistol, which is ADKd and i also have something liek 15-18 million(Growing in leaps and bounds every day i hit up a few krayts), so i am in a position where i could easily get the best equiptment needed to be a master of something else and the money to be a grenider to pay for all the expensive grenades...


So here is the question i ask of you seasoned guys... sell my pistol and go a 4-x-x-x commando/TKM/pharm 4 in medic and get grenades to grind it out...

Or do i stay with pistoleer and grind the 'non-cheeters' way... and if it is this way tell me places and things you guys would recommend me grinding on...

Also, if its not too mcuh to ask, if you think my grenade template is stupid, tell me what you would choose, or any alternative templates you would suggest


thanks for everyone's help!

well, I am a TKM, almost Master swordsman, I grind the non-grenade way, & i cap fast, but my freind, who is TKM/comando 4/x/x/x, caps waaaaaay faster than me, & more times than me also, But he has to take little breaks to make credits for grenades, were as i am rich through just lair milking

So i guess it is up to you freind, if you can afford it, & want your FS exp quicker, do the Template you mentioned, if you want a more casual pace, pick a swordsman/tkm/rifleman sort of temp & smash away

Either way, a grind is a grind, it's still dull as fook



But remember, with the Combat Upgrade coming this may(i think), if your gonna grind, do it now, do it fast, because who knows whats gonna happen when this thing lands =/


Good luck freind, & be safe!

exactly my thoughts... i wanted to do it in a period of 2 months or so, and i only have to grind out 5 branches(hopefully i get credit for mastering scout for my holo, ROFL, easy branch)


And, its not out of reach, if some people sit there for 3 and a half hours getting 500k FS exp... its a matter of a month or two at the rate i play


Please more comments i want to make sure i know what i am doing, I AM rich enough to buy enough grenades to get me from start to finish, so that is not the point

ofcource, i would like to point out, i would have to obviously wait a little bit to unlock my branches, but i would be storing up lots of exp to throw into branches once i unlock them.

go for it dude, if you can aford it, go now, NOW LOL, get that TKM/Comando 4/x/x/x temp & start as soon as you can, bank all that exp up, i think you need 7,350,000 FS exp in total, that is the 6 boxes needed, w/o the novice boxes (50k each), if you can grind every day, you should be done in a month, & that would be awesome, I don't get much time to play, so even if i did do it the grenade way, it would still take me years lol, if you can do it, go for it man!



Have fun!

Another thought would be to pick up Smuggler. Fan Shot and that pistol would really smoke...

well i already have fan shot, you must mean last ditch, yes it is the best pistol move, but to do that i would have to drop medic and my hunting tree in scout... i figured i could live without it, i can do lots of damamge as it is, and i have specific health pool shots(and a mind shot with the same damage) with health fire and bleed(1500-3000 for the fire, and 300-500 for the bleed) so i can take the bigger guys easily...


I think im gonna start grinding this afternoon, it shouldnt be hard, well ok it will be... unarmed 1-4 is a BIOTCH!! Then to get TKM will take a few hours... *sigh* i dont like profession gridning, i dont mind the FS stuff, but getting from unarmed 1 to TKM is annoying to do...


But i figure i could get most of the way there tomorrow


more imput would be helpful!

If you go with nades,


300k fsxp for 1 buff set.


If you can play3 hours a day,300k * 25 days = all fsxp for 6 branches. ( less than a month )


If you dont go with nades.


less than 300k fsxp for 1 buff set. ( Even though you are 2 elite combat master )


More than a month.


It's simple.

Not sure you will get a free unlock for unlocking only one. I think you needed to master 3 or 4to get 1 unlock. Not 100% though (there is a post about it here somewhere) been a while. But I know def. not from just 1.

  1. Do not sell that Geo pistol... hang it up somewhere nice in your house for when you might like to return to your Pistol lifestyle.

  2. If you have that kind of money, grinding up your way to TKM / 3000 Commando shouldbe fairly trivial.


However, since you appear to have some Smuggler already, first order ofbusiness is finding/buying for yourself about 30 crates of thermals, maybe 5-10 crates of C12s, and slicing them up yourself. While I realize that these will not see you through the entire grind, it willput a serious dent in it and sounds like an amount you could work through easily before the CURB happens.


Oops, got confused.. Smuggler was suggested to you, not already in your template. Anyway, I'd look into getting them sliced, and I forgot to mention that you would also want to pick up a fair number of grenade pups as well. They do make a fair difference in how long it takes, and how many grenades you are burning through.


This is the grind you know,with the systems that you know right now. And since it is advertised that you can get arespect in your combat professions once the CURB hits, it's like an instant get-out-of-Commando free card. You could be backat your pistoleeringtemplate (adjusted for new requirements) andtesting outthe new order having alreadybanked your way through some of theFS Xp you would need.


In short, accelerate the grind you know how to accelerate now, before the new regime kicksin and we are all back at squareonerelearning the game and*hopefully* breaking bad habits.

thanks for all the opinions... i am begginign my grind this afternoon(up to unarmed 3), i am an ex-TKM so i know how to grind it(back then, when geo cave was amazing spawn rate i got from 0-1-2-2 to master in abuot 2 hours... haha


And its great for me, thursday is my last day at school for 10 or so days


So if i do it right, haha, i could get all the exp by then!


Hopefully when the CU hits they dont institute a FS exp cap or something really gay like that and gip me out of a ton of exp, or totally change the process(since it will take another 5 months for me to get to padawan... so late august *Sigh*)


thanks for the help guys!
