Summary
Players of Sandlot’sEarth Defense Force 6are discussing which of the game’s many missions serve as the best farming missions around. The discussion was prompted by oneEarth Defense Force 6player declaring a specific mission as the best one, which led to responses from other players with their own picks and suggestions.
Despite shortcomings in graphical fidelity, the venerableEarth Defense Forceseries continues to charm audiences with its dedication to an almost absurd sense of scale. In each game, players fight back against aliens using the tools from one ofseveralEDFcharacter classes. Their foes often come in screen-covering waves of gigantic enemies ranging from monster-sized ants and frogs to skyscraper-sized UFOs. Player weapons are also comedically overpowered, ranging from building-demolishing rocket launchers, to air strikes, and even huge pilotable robots.
Now, player SirBiscuit has declaredEarth Defense Force 6Mission 97 to be the game’s “best farming mission,” owing to its unique setup and friendliness toEDFsolo play. Farming is encouraged inEDFbecause in-game weapons are generated with randomized properties. Thus, repeating missions guarantees more loot. SirBiscuit’s post prompted discussion amongEDF 6players, who suggested their own favorite missions for easy loot grinding.
The Best Farming Missions in Earth Defense Force 6
According to SirBiscuit, the presence of powerful allies on Mission 97 is the key to its utility. Mission 97 pits the EDF against a large swarm of hostile aliens as usual. However, this time, the EDF is out in force, deploying a whole army to tackle the swarm alongside the player in a battle thatshows off the sheer scale of combat inEarth Defense Force 6. These allies are capable of clearing the mission with a relative minimum of player involvement. Their presence allows players to focus on collecting loot drops instead of on combat, maximizing their rewards for the time spent. Many players agreed with SirBiscuit, but some noted that Mission 97’s usefulness drops for players that do not use the “auto-loot” convenience feature, as the mobility of the fight means that players will not be able to manually collect every loot drop before the mission ends.
Others suggested different missions as their favorite farming targets. Some said that Mission 109 was a more appealing choice, because explosive-heavy classes like the Air Raider and Fencer can quickly clear the field, allowing a leisurely collection of loot. Others thought Mission 51 was a good farming mission forbeginnerEDF 6players, thanks to its compatibility with mobile classes like the Wing Diver. Another player suggested Mission 116, which rewards players with a powerful robot that can demolish most enemy groups, and its higher level cap on loot, making drops more valuable.
The discussion illustrated the sheer breadth of variety found inEarth Defense Force 6, and the many strategies veteran players can develop as they master the differentEDF 6classes. In time, it’s likely that players will find even more good candidates for optimized loot grinding.
