Leveling Tips (WIP)
These are just my own tips to help you on your journey leveling up and to put some community recommendations in one spot (this is just my opinion you may have a different one, this is just to help).
Number of Players Levels Recommended Difficulty Avg. Time per mission Xp per hour (no modifiers) Notes Solo (1) 2-30 Uprising (2nd Diffculty) 20min 5,400xp Feel free to do the other difficulties but your success rate may vary Team (3-4) 2-30 Malice (3rd Diffculty) Varies 30min 5,300xp Do any diffculty you feel prepared to do, I will make a table with recommended levels for diffculties but its honestly your skill level and how hard you want to make it
