Replying to a player on Twitter who said recent patches have made the game "unplayable," Arrowhead CEO Johan Pilestedt conceded that he's not satisfied with his studio's current balancing approach.

"Hey, yeah I think we've gone too far in some areas. Will talk to the team about the approach to balance," he wrote. "It feels like every time someone finds something fun, the fun is removed."

how do you farm super credits other than purchasing them with medals?

[–] eighty@lemmy.one 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You generally find them in caches on the map when playing (highlighted beacons you can see from a fair distance). The super credits are automatically given to everyone when one person picks it up.

Technically, there's a way to farm these indefinitely by essentially replaying the same map. But you can't unlock the guns/capes/gear in each warbond without medals, which you can only get by doing missions.

Personally, I like the gameloop and how microtransactions are done enough that I don't bother with the "farm" since credits are so easy to gain overtime. The real grind is the medals and samples which you need a team to gather efficiently.

To add to this, I didn’t buy premium pass that came with either the extra warbond unlocked or 1000 SC (can’t remember which), and I have 140 hours in the game and have unlocked every warbond with earned SC (I have almost 1700 in the bank as well). If you run 2 and 3’s you’ll farm them up pretty easily

with medals? I don't think that's a thing.

super credits can be purchased using real money, or you can just find them in-game. it's always a good idea to sweep the map completely before extract.

It is a thing. you can buy super credits in war bonds

[–] dot0@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

ohhhh yes that, you're right thanks.

You play the game? You usually find credits on most maps. Not huge amounts, but it adds up. Also, every warbond comes with unlocks that give you some super credits for medals.

[–] ComicalMayhem@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

only adds up if you find them, which is pretty hard on higher difficulties, considering you're in a mad rush to finish the mission, much less survive long enough to extract.

[–] iegod@lemm.ee 0 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

It's trivial to find them on higher difficulties.

Edit: I suppose skill issue. Keep in mind that you needn't extract to collect on these.
