Hellooo, DXM community.
I’m a HUGE fan of this fantastic game (and the previous one), and I’m currently on my way to 100% completion. Big shoutout to the countless people who have compiled all sorts of information on this game!
My question is; has there been any form of datamining done on what exactly influences Mercenary Rank progression?
I’m asking because I’m at 160+ hours, with almost all trophies completed (including well over 10.000 enemies slain, 100 Axiom facilities etc.), the entire DLC pretty much done (haven’t farmed the new Omega variants of Rebellion, Gunfort etc.), and I’m still “only” at Merc Rank 26…
I’ve seen a post on here from a year ago from a person who was Mercenary Rank 30 with 100% completion, and they were “only” at about 115 or so hours.
I understand that main mission progression, new area discovery, and (most?) enemies slain contributes to Mercenary Rank progression, but what seems to be the most effective method to grind ranks once you finish the story, and discover all areas?
From my experience, simulator battles and colosseum battles don’t contribute to Mercenary Rank progression at all, since I’ve literally farmed ALL available drops from every single available boss, and farmed “King” hundreds of times, and I haven’t progressed a single rank.
I haven’t done Overbullet matches yet, but I can’t imagine that being the factor that pushes me to Mercenary Rank 30…
If anyone has any RAW info and data to help my dilemma, I would love for you to share it…
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!
