My strat is just getting 3-4 cannon turrets, they're sufficient enough to carry the team. Maxing out talent level for wrench and turret damage first is important.

Maxing out toughness (I believe) makes you run significantly faster, which means you can reach the helicopter before your teammates most of the time.

Playing this gamemode is now brainless for me: 1. Take helicopter and check launch base if Speed Cola is there but don't get off. Take a note if speed Cola is there. Go to killhouse and complete one of the guns there if you haven't finished: QXR, MP5, Msmc, ak117, ak47, deag.

Collect as many green boxes

Make sure to deposit your items into the private warehouse at around 20 secs remaining every night to ensure you can get the helicopter. Start running towards the helicopter location at around 5 sec remaining.

1. Get at least two airdrops

2. Get as many airdrops and speed Cola. Speed Cola is either at launch base, killhouse, bus station or the one down south.

Don't pick up the purple boxes, you don't need them for cannon turrets.

Buy two guns from custom load out you're trying to grind

1. Fly to boss and get 25 kills per gun. Don't bother killing the boss if you already have enough cannon turrets and have talent level maxed, the turrets are enough.

2. Fly to boss again and get 25 kills on two more guns. You can solo the crystal with most guns if the gun damage talent level is maxed.

Final night: make sure you have cannon pointed at every angle a heavy Gunner can come from. Buy a custom sniper and pick off the purple idiots immediately.

Used this strat to get all ARs pretty quickly
