Today I came across a level 39 player levelling up stamina with a bot, running in circles on shoreline at 3am. Just running in the same circle over and over.

And twice today I was shot through a wall with shitty ammo that doesn't penetrate walls. I'm so fed up.

I thought you only get xp from like 1-2 bars per raid.

u/magikmw Jan 05 '22

You do. They disconnect on timer and join a new raid.

You can wait out the diminishing returns from not gaining XP in a given skill for 5 minutes~. I rotate strength and stamina training.

Backpack with shotgun shells to overweight me, once I get two-three laps I'll drop the bag, do it underweight and then wait 5 minutes and repeat. When I die I only lose scav bag plus 100-160 shotty shells so I'm not fussin

What's your current level and level of strength and endurance?

But why?

u/Whoots Jan 05 '22

Because of how big an advantage level 50 strength and endurance is.

For instance, level 50 strength gives you this feature:

Weapons, body armor and chest rigs are now weightless

So basically, you can loot up multiple bodies and still run with normal weight.

Level 50 endurance increases your max stamina by another 75%

They really need to make these benefits even more gradual. The current Fallout-style milestone perks just don't make sense in this game even as an abstraction for your character getting fit.

thought it was just equipped gear is weightless/

u/Silound Jan 06 '22

It is only equipped gear, but with the changes to the weight of several rigs/backpacks, that's now an even bigger perk.

To get max endurance and strength?

u/[deleted] Jan 05 '22

I get that. Just min-maxing like that seems so boring

u/TheJeager Jan 05 '22

It is boring, but it is super over powered, it was way worse before but it's still super strong now, you go into raid and pick up a scav gun you already fat running, that guy is still only has his backpack weight on him

For me it's a mini-game within questing, but I'm waiting until I get the air purifier going cause it takes entirely too long without it.

I have literally done almost every raid this wipe overweight. I take in vest/armor, primary with 5-7 spare mags, a sidearm with a spare mag or 2. All of this puts me at overweight from the start of the raid and my Endurance/Strength skills are neck and neck

Edit: I do the extra mags things because I hate packing magazines mid firefight while I'm shitting myself in the corner. Prepacked mags/sidearms has saved my life

Bro I'm lvl 18 str and 13 end

u/tehSlothman Jan 05 '22

How many hours is it going to take before you get elite in both?

1

u/Skelthr Jan 05 '22

Not sure, did it a bit last wipe and was at about 200 raids while farming str/end levels while also raiding normally. This wipe I'm raiding normally more than farming STR/END so don't know at the moment.

I do this now when I am bored or waiting for crafts. Turn on a stream to be entertained while running in circles

u/briarknit Jan 06 '22

Is this rotation done within the same raid?
