Tips to Farm Base Building Materials / Gold
The majority of your gold will come from stacking incident cards that give gold. With your loadout you should be able to do snow 4 without much trouble.
Make sure you are selling your valuables and keeping your gun and characters as built up as possible too. If you are still using fae, get off your ass and start building new characters.
Other than that, save the artillery on the map for kronos and not some random chaff, and make sure you can actually make enough ammo to keep the turrets shooting, too many times we see bases with 20ish guns sharing two ammo makers
A viable tactic is to keep the recovery day timer low and being selective with risk cards. For example, nanochips now available to you and they can occasionally drop from instant loot as well. Upgrading 30mm to Twin or Viper will drastically improve their effectiveness, which also means less ammo use.
You can easily get all the way to City 5 with your base, in which looting becomes a lot more prominent. If you then only recover the most important items such as certain heroic and certain legendary materials, the timer stays pretty low. Then if you are selective with risk cards, you can drastically increase how many of the few items you are recovering at relatively low risk increases.
All of this will still take a lot of effort, and while you can get to City 5 with your current base, it’ll be difficult to extract from City 5 with any loot or risk cards at all. Either way, this info can be applied on any node.
Example (step-by-step)
- Keep farming more CIWS
- Increase your core output to 400-500. You absolutely dont need 1000 even for city 1. That is a lie because i remember,doing city 1 with core 450
- Seperate your left + right corner ( front ) CIWS into seperate autoloaders. Do not put mortars there. They will BURDEN ciws ammo loaders unnecessary
- Build a sniper core. Heavy XEN, make urself a sniper roof in your base where u can snipe large targets (headshots).
- Snow 4 has no artillery support by default so u have little to no chance defeat Kronos (sniper build needed).
- Stack guardians before ur Reco day and let them def ur sides
- Do not get unmotivated due to ur core output being so low. Just increase it to 400 and have 8 ciws total
I passed the road struggling atm. Also little note set ur 30mm’s target prio MEDIUM only maxed out range
some good tips in here! I only have two ciws and two twin 30mm but my core output is 880, I’m gonna attempt it today
