A gamer focused on a screen showing a map with priority objectives highlighted, symbolizing leveling up in the SHD mule farm missions.

A number of players are reporting effective strategies for leveling up quickly in the latest gaming update, with many focusing on Hard invaded missions. Players are seeing decent XP gains, raising questions about optimal farming methods amid the gameโ€™s evolving content.

Leveling Strategies Emerge

Cycling through three specific weekly missions reportedly provides more than half a level each run. Some players indicate that engaging in priority objective missions with XP rewards can enhance progression further. โ€œI started my last mule less than an hour ago and am already almost lvl 35,โ€ shared one player.

Other Notable XP Avenues

The commentary reveals several other ways to gain experience:

  • Traveling to Coney for a brief Pentagon intro yields about half a level.

  • Early manhunt investigations in NYC offer roughly 1/4 of a level for minimal effort, providing a break from repetitive hard mission runs.

"Itโ€™s 16 invaded hard mission runs incl. kill XP to go from lvl 30-40," noted another player.

Exploring the Dark Zone

Commentators also emphasize the potential of the Dark Zone, suggesting players farm landmarks from levels 30 to 40. Upon reaching level 40, they recommend heading to the White House to collect the SHD watch from the Quartermaster.

Community Insights

Mixed sentiments are noted in the community, with players critiquing the repetitiveness of missions while also sharing effective shortcuts for farming.

Key Points to Consider
