Squad Leader Archive

Like mentioned in the FAQ and every third thread here, there is no SL exp any more, we use pistol exp by now.

SL XP went the way of the doodoo.

To level up you need pistol XP.

Don't ask why.
Just dont ...



edit:
just one minute sylow ...

you dont need to take pistoleer to become a squad leader. yes, you need pistol xp, but that doesnt mean you need to grind pistoleer first, or even at the same time. here's how a new player can become a SL without ever moving up the pistol tree of marskman

1) get some grenades.

2) join a grind group

3) throw ONE grenade at the mob that's been pulled and dont do ANYTHING else. when the mob dies you'll get full combat xp

4) harvest organics from the mob

5) repeat above steps until Ranged Support 4, Survival 4, and Novice SL are filled

6) get the Red Hydra pistol (nov SL certed) or any other generic pistol

7) repeat step 2

8) repeat step 3 shooting once with the pistol instead of using the grenade

9) repeat steps 3, 7 & 8 until SL is mastered

yes, this is much longer than the grind was pre-CU when we got xp for leading the group, but this will work. and you DONT have to train any other pistol skills first!

you've already done part of this by reachign SL 0001. now, just concentrate on steps 6-9 to finish getting the other boxes. in a full group with a couple 'lair spinners' each mission will go really quickly. but, just make sure you hit as many individual mobs as you can. dont wait for the one you've shot to die....shoot each one timeand then go on to the next. you'll still get full xp for each mob you shot, even once!

I nominate it for a sticky actually Kharast.

Prak still has some SL XP from a respec try of SL...time to convert it at the Village...

Might be not that fast anymore tehy are changing XP in Pub 21.

And while doing that, make sure that you at least somehow help your group killing all those mobs .

And if its just shouting some "SL commands" randomly (like in the do yuo talk like a SL thread) to make it more fun for everybody
