Christmas 2019 Px4 Storm Farming Guide
Chapter 3 of the christmas event gives you 3 chances at Px4, not counting the chapter clear. Clearing the chapter is annoying, takes 3 turns, and involves fighting stuff that isn’t really fun to fight, so here’s a minimal “one-and-a-half turn” retreat farming method instead.
PREPARING YOUR ECHELONS
You will need two echelons and a dummy HG.
The fights for this chapter are kind of annoying. No matter what I use, I feel like I need to do at least a little repairs between runs. You can use full combat echelons - probably ARSMG - but if you have a strong incendiary grenade SMG like Vector and a high-level SG, I recommend the setup below:
For the first echelon, a strong K11 is the best AR choice, but any other AR will work - just more slowly. The SG doesn’t matter as long as she has plenty of armor and HP. For the second, any AR will do. Positioning is important. The reason this works is Vector’s echelon will fight a crowd of enemies that won’t have time to damage her before her incendiary kills almost all of them, and she just needs a little help cleaning up; the other echelon will need to fight more organized enemies, but no Brutes, so an SG can solo tank just fine. M16 may also work here, I don’t know because I don’t have her speq lol xd.
You’ll need at least decent equipment to make this work, and everyone (including the SG) should be using a PEQ to ensure their shots land.
ECHELON PLACEMENT:
Positioning is important if you’re using the minimalized echelons. If they face the wrong matchups, you’re gonna be real sorry.
ACTUALLY DOING THE MAP:
The echelon on the bottom moves over to the radar node, then moves back to its heliport and retreats. The echelon on the top ends its turn on the radar node. You’ll fight an enemy on each radar node, and each one has a chance to drop Px4.
Between turns, the top echelon will be attacked by a nearby Sangvis unit; this is the third Px4 drop chance.
YOU’RE DONE:
Walk back to the heliport and retreat your top echelon, then terminate/restart. Repeat as desired.
