Don’t stress the grind

Speedrun missions – don’t linger

XP comes from completing missions quickly, not from hoovering up every mineral. Extra minerals only give 1 XP per unit, a terrible return for the time spent.

  • Complete the primary objective as fast as possible
  • Skip excess gold and morkite beyond what the mission requires
  • Call the drop pod the moment you’re done — don’t explore
  • Point Extraction is the best mission type to speedrun since fast play naturally limits the accelerating spawns

Always prioritise double XP missions

Filtering the server list by 2× XP is one of the biggest multipliers available. Combine it with a fast mission type for maximum gain.

  • Browse the server list and join active double XP games
  • Even better: snipe missions that are nearly finished for instant XP with minimal effort
  • On Haz 3, experienced players report clearing 3,000 XP/min doing Aquarq runs in 4–5 minutes
  • Escort Duty with 2× XP can yield over 20,000 XP in a single run

Pick the right hazard level

Higher hazard isn’t always better for XP/hour. Dying slows you down and Haz 4–5 bugs are hard to simply ignore.

  • Haz 3 is widely recommended for pure speedrunning – you can often ignore bugs entirely
  • Haz 4 is a solid middle ground if your team is competent
  • Haz 5 can work with a skilled coordinated squad but one person going down kills your time significantly
  • Machine events on Haz 3 also reward double XP and have lower requirements

Work through assignments

Assignments give structured XP rewards and will carry you naturally from level 0 to 25 without needing to grind aimlessly.

  • Check the assignment board each session before queuing
  • They double up as progression rewards, so you’re levelling while unlocking things anyway

Things to keep in mind

Don’t forget to have fun

Speedrunning every mission can feel hollow. Many experienced players only power-level specific classes when needed, and play normally otherwise. The cosmetics will come.

Extra minerals are a trap

Mining everything feels productive but delivers almost no XP relative to the time cost. The one exception is completing secondary objectives that give a structured XP bonus.

Level 0–25 goes fast

If you’re a newer player feeling overwhelmed – it’s normal. The curve is front-loaded and smooths out quickly once you get past the early promotions.
