Main gun and available armor:
Omegaton Igni L1100 (L) + A105
Jarhead (UL)
Thunderbeard (UL) (no shins)
5B plates
6A plates

Top skills:
45.19: Laser Pistol (Hit)
44.71: Ranged Laser (Damage)​

I have about 700ped to cycle though ammo.

My question is:

What would be the best mob to hunt and where?

Ideally with the abiility to:
  • Do missions while killing the mobs
  • Loot another weapon that I can use so around or just under level 40
  • Not blow my ped (I know, loot sux)
 
TIP 1 : If you only have 700 ped to cycle, your pro standings are irrelevant

look for a low hp mob wich can drop some markup.

you can allready start looking for a cheap/eco fap as you shouldn't be hunting something that requires healing during killing
 
There are plenty of Atrox to finish, the iron mission gives evade bonus. Jarhead works great for them, plates needed only for higher maturities. The outpost east of Jurra with high density of matures up to dominant is a place I like.

With the 6A's on you have a pretty strong robot armor. Would try Troopers. Loot has varied greatly on them in the past with long dry spells, but a few lucky ones got amazing items from them. Less than a minute by car west of Osere.

Thunderbird is cool, just highly specialized. I'd suggest to complete it with the missing L part (cheap mu), slap the 5B's on and try Eviscerators, also a worthwhile mission mob. A 2 mins flight west-southwest of Osere are small ones, bigger ones in the middle of the volcano.

With the 6A's on you could try Steelbirds, the lowest total number of kills for any iron mission to give stamina tokens. But I don't know how they loot lately. Fort Medusa has them.

For all of the mentioned mobs you should have a longer range tagger though, something ~70m is ideal. With pistol only you get always a bunch aggroed on you and have decay/heal expenses, and the steelbirds can't be reached in the first place.

Of course these recommendations are subjective. Good luck!

Edit: That part with cycling... If you are bound to stretch your budget like forever, then you can't just grind away, low lvl mob or not. Most theories about which mob would regularly drop stuff with good markup are questionable, past experiences are no guarantee for future results. Some things have good mu or so it seems, but are hard to sell (extractors e.g.) There are waves and sometimes patterns in returns, if you notice you lose out stop and try a different daytime/weekday.

Consider working on Daily Missions to get Daily Tokens, which you can turn in for (L) weapons. The bonus Dailies, if you get one, are worth 20 tokens.
 
Do the 'Puny Iron' mission at Camp Icarus if you want to ease yourself back into the game.

It will teach you patience, and you do loot at least 4 different weapons. I've not globalled on them, but a soc mate has (5 ped globals only though I'm afraid - not massively exciting)


You have your options above, choose whichever appeals.

Welcome back! :sniper:
 
Did the puny's for about an hour and got FIVE bones lol
Though I did run around with a herb box healing people several for about 20 minutes of it :)

You selling those? :cool:


I did NOT say it was exciting but you'll probably still have 700 ped left at :xmas:

Hope you had 'fun'.

This. Love them, can make 20 ped last for months, and have more then 20 peds at the end. :beerchug:
P.S. And a great way to skill long, short, or any of these types of weapons! ;)
 
Use the specialised armor.
Complete the TB Set with some L shin guards, go for Cersumon or Eviscerator (if Eviscerator add the 5b plates)

And have fun :)
 
Update

Been doing the puny mission. I'm about 500/1000 though the mission and seems to be going well.

it's nice to be able to hunt naked and not fap lol

Just want them to drop some more laser pistols which I can use to kill them

Skills are also increasing slowly but atleast they are so increasing
