Feel free to discuss your thoughts on anything and everything Halo. If you're just in it for XP, solo'ing will give you a better shot at getting a kill yourself, but you'll gain far more XP (2x or more!) by playing in a matchmade game.This is the place to go if you're seeking discussion related to the Halo universe crafted by Bungie and cared for by 343 Industries. I will tend to do the weekly challenges, but I don't give much time to worrying about the commendations, personally. While I understand you may want to farm commendations for the OCD value, the XP bonuses are very limited compared to the pain involved. Around the ramp up to the central structure are always 2 Hunters and 1 Ghost.Īs a side note, if you're farming a particular type of enemy, you can kill that enemy and then restart the op and still get commendation/challenge credit for the kill. You can grab a rocket launcher at the beginning by sprinting straight ahead, and then there is more ammo at every location where the marines are under fire. If I've got to farm just Hunters or Ghosts (ie, for a challenge), I'd probably go for E2C3 (Hacksaw). Beyond that, killing Ghosts in War Games also counts towards this commendation, so you could also get progress by playing something like Big Team Slayer. There are some on E1C1 (Land Grab, includes multiple empty wraiths, ghosts, and one of each warthog), although there's a lot of dead space in that one and farming them solo's not great. There's not a lot of Ghosts in my suggested hit list. I'd almost consider waiting it out for another Op that is somewhat easier and contains the enemies you need. This one goes a lot slower, as there's not an abundance of vehicles or power weapons. So bear in mind if you are finished with the others and want to focus on ultras. There will be at least 11 before the second phase of the mission. NOTE: Playing this on normal significantly increases grunt ultras. We're still kind of low on Elite Zealots and Jackal Majors, so consider E3C5: Even the early part is pretty easy, as after the first wave you'll get a drop of power weapons that make taking the hill fairly trivial. It's pretty easy to lay waste to everything with the tank. If you want some Grunt Ultras in your Spartan Ops, you might try E3C1 (The VIP, aka "the Scorpion one"):Ībout halfway through this level, you'll get another vehicle (TANK!) that respawns if it is destroyed. (Well, unless the Elites steal your Ghost.) You'll note there's no Grunt Ultras, Elite Zealots or Ghosts on this map though. The Hunter count and the Banshee count are pretty insane. Killing a Banshee also gives you credit for an elite, and they're pretty easy to down in a Mantis. Halfway through, you'll gain a Mantis, and it will respawn if it is destroyed, as many times as you need it. The one that I prefer to run is E3C4 (Shootout In Valhalla, aka "the Mantis one"), which has: Covenantįor Covenant, there are a couple of good ones. I believe there are more Watchers on E2C1 (Cleanup), but it takes a while to get to them so I wouldn't suggest farming Watchers here unless you've also got some Covenant enemies to farm. There's also a lot of shotguns and shotgun ammo, which on Normal will kill a Knight pretty quickly. This one is made easier by the fact that there are incineration cannons on a rack on the second story of the central area. Prometheansįor Prometheans, the "overall best" is currently E2C5 (Gagarin). There may be some variance in the enemy types depending on the difficulty, but the time invested in playing Heroic/Legendary vs the XP/kills is probably not worth it. Here's my hit list of best Spartan Ops (only the first 3 episodes have been released, so this might need updating later.) For the purposes of this, I've played the op on Normal, solo, and killed any allied units that might steal kills. We can probably limit our search somewhat, since there are some "obviously better" spots to farm.
