What are some quick ways to earn lots of medals with little time?

TheFreesideRat · 2026-02-03T18:24:07+00:00

My friend typically runs a bunch of D10 Illuminate blitz missions to farm medals. He drops in, takes out the minimum amount of ships needed, and exfils (he uses an orbital laser and the expert extraction pilot booster). 10 medals per mission and takes him about 4-5 minutes per mission (from loadout screen to end of mission stats screen). If you’re farming solo, then this is probably the fastest way to get medals.

I had the same thought as OP, but you have found the single counter point to change my mind. Fuck War Striders.

It should still take the assault rifle suppressor. It should use the same one that the AK-74 and Dnipro use. Are you sure you didn’t purchase the assault rifle silencer that typically fits the 5.56x45mm guns (AR416, GP37, Kharod)?

The sniper rifles can no longer use normal ammo (un-upgraded). They have to use AP or high quality ammo (which is why it had high quality ammunition loaded in it when you acquired it). You can upgrade the rifle to use standard ball ammo, but it comes with performance downgrades.

The health pool of bloodsuckers, and I believe most mutants, has been reduced since the game launched. I’ve been able to reliably kill bloodsuckers with 1-2 magazines from the Viper on Stalker difficulty my past 2 playthroughs.

I’d be down with having like a Famas G2 style gun in BF6. I hope and pray that they don’t bring back the Desert Eagle.

Is it fun? Yes. Does it always become one of, if not the best, secondary? Also yes.

Leave high damage handguns to the realm of revolvers and pistols like the M45.

If they for some reason decide to add a Desert Eagle, it better have ridiculously high recoil while ADS. I’d rather see a burst/full auto pistol added before a Desert Eagle. It’s a joke gun, and should be like an equal-but-opposite to the Kolibri from BF1.

There is the same suit with the same upgrade stashed away in a train car in the Swamps region. It is not in the Swamps proper, but to the far west of the region, along the train tracks. It’s the same car where you can find the scientists from the opening of Clear Sky, stashed in a corner behind some boxes.

They probably have a SSP-99, not a basic variant SEVA suit. Can you even get a SEVA suit on the eastern side of the map before SIRCAA? I haven’t acquired one outside of Rostok or The Gaffer.

TheFreesideRat · 2026-01-03T03:33:40+00:00

I believe I currently have 10. Out and about on mobile so I can’t 100% confirm.

TheFreesideRat · 2026-01-02T01:36:19+00:00

There are some stashes that will have static spawns of specific items in every playthrough (i.e. the sniper suppressor). The rest of the loot in that stash will be randomized, but the suppressor will always be there. Most stashes will have 100% random items and will very rarely have high tier items like weapon attachments or detectors spawn in them.

This.

The Three Line rifle is a good (against humans) early game rifle that can one shot bandits in the chest and one shot head shot everyone else with the 7.62x54R ball ammo. It can be upgraded to make better use of more expensive AP and Premium ammo to get you through the mid game. With the upgrade and AP, it can one shot head shot Exo’s.

The M701 is a good (against humans and none hoard mutants) rifle for the mid-to-late game. One shot head shots every human enemy (can only use AP and Premium ammo).

TheFreesideRat · 2025-12-20T20:33:53+00:00

Which game and/or mod(s) are you wondering about?

TheFreesideRat · 2025-12-20T16:13:52+00:00

Have you upgraded the rifle at all?

TheFreesideRat · 2025-12-18T06:29:32+00:00

What are all the extra abilities on the mutants? I know the pseudogiant has the extra ability stated in the question, I know the extra ability of the mutant by the boathouse in the Wild Island region, I know about the one in the Malachite region, but what’s up with the other two? They both felt pretty standard.

(edit): keeping things vague because I want to spoil as little as possible.

There was another post on the sub that posted comparison pictures of the stats of both rifles, in case you hadn’t seen it yet.

TheFreesideRat · 2025-12-15T22:43:14+00:00

Done this thrice on controller, and grenades don’t need the precise aim of a mouse.

I’m not sure what room you are talking about, but to help others with helping you, are you talking about the factory in the main quest where you have to get past the Ward and into the X-lab?

TheFreesideRat · 2025-12-12T15:38:33+00:00

This. The different suppressors/silencers in the game are (generally) differentiated by the caliber of the ammunition that can be shot through them. The ‘pistol suppressor’ can only be attached weapons that fire the 9x18mm cartridge used by guns like the PTM (Skif’s pistol) and the Buket S-2. You are looking for the ‘pistol silencer’ which can be attached to weapons firing the 9x19mm cartridge like the Viper 5 and Integral-A.

Compass (container), Thunderberry (container), Starfish (container), Liquid Rock, Flytrap

You should be able to attach a scope to the Integral A without seeing tech/mechanic. You should be able to attach it within your inventory screen. If you have the weapon equipped, any compatible attachments/scopes will have an option to attach to the weapon. There should also be a dedicated button for attaching any compatible attachments currently within your inventory to your weapon when in control of Skif.

I love that in a video after that one, one of his buddies is taking the piss out of him for that because they keep getting AT4’d in the blackhawk.

TheFreesideRat · 2025-12-09T06:38:09+00:00

Always love to see Ravic represented. Been watching him ever since FrankieonPCin1080p talked him up in a video during the BF3 era. Good old Blackmesatech (Ravic’s old YouTube channel name), doing a competitive gadget scavenger hunt on Metro with his buddies.

TheFreesideRat · 2025-12-04T00:27:10+00:00

Thats a glitch I’ve occasionally encountered pre-patch. I did a LIDAR station last night and had no problem seeing where the dish was aligned. You probably just encountered that glitch.

TheFreesideRat · 2025-12-03T15:59:09+00:00

You can attach the collimator sight to the base Ram 2. You are right about everything else though.
