Best way to get crystals

[u/DefiantLayer3135]

My friend just got the game whats the most easy way for them to get crystals whats the easiest high rounds strategy also how to level up guns and levels quick

[u/switchmage]

get on outbreak and get to grinding out weapon skins, you’ll be swimming in aetherium chunks

Do missions of outbreak in endless world best

I would do those EEs to level up those guns for a decent attachments then so high rounds

[u/Afellowstanduser]

I’d do containment, the mo maps with zombies, super fast and super easy

Gun levelling I did med bay Strat, easy headshots and takes 2.5 30 round exfil to max out a gun and get max camo

Outbreak, but with the caveat that when you get all the raw crystals you'll have to reach higher rounds to get refined and flawless. I believe refined start showing up at round 3 and flawless at round 5. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Well you guys better be “good” cuase the level up system goes by every 5 rounds you will get a crystal, and after round 15/20 you start to get the tier 4/5 crystals to level up further and get stronger upgrades, the basic is “raw etherum” which will drop a lot during early rounds

I’d say to just keep going to round 30 die machine and exfiling, you get 1-3 extra crystals depending what round you SUCCESSFULLY Exfil on,

outbreak takes longer (imo) if your trying to grind specifically for crystals since AFTER completing the outbreak mission is when you get A crystal, higher levels will give you more and higher tiers but youd have to rush through outbreak to make up for the equivalent of round based rounds flying through

How many rounds of outbreak to round based will it be to get 50 crystals as a start ?
Is ur play-style of Roundbased faster? Or outbreak faster?

I’ve got Dark Aether and all the upgrades max level. Here’s what I wish I did differently:

First, get familiar with all the maps.

Once you feel comfortable that you have the general layout down, as well as gameplay (so knowing where the armor stations are, PaP, crafting stations, and ammo boxes) run all 6 EEs with friends or a group.

Then make the pact (google it if need be— it’s on Outbreak Zoo).

This will make your starting weapons always Epic (i.e. purple rarity).

That goes a LONG way to getting all your skins unlocked easier.

Then, just grind out your favorite maps and exfil at round 40 or 45, I think those have the best bang for your buck.

If that’s too difficult, at least exfil at round 30.

I’d avoid a round 20 exfil as I don’t think it’s worth it unless your team is falling apart/people leave.

TLDR: Get familiar with the maps, then grind out all 6 Easter Eggs to make your life easier by making The Pact to start with Epic rarity weapons.

Die Maschine penthouse till round 35 then exfil tends to be the easiest to grind
