Any Good Level Up Tips? (I'm lvl 30)

[zcorvette]

First, I know this is probably posted elsewhere, but most of the ones I have found were for higher levels / people who have progressed further than me ingame... if there is a link to a good thread on this feel free to post it here (Any help is appreciated)

I am level 30 and have unlocked the city of moresby and obviously resort, and I was wondering how to level up quickly, lately I have been finding non-special zombies and knocking them to the ground and continuously hitting them with my fists for points, like 125 xp per punch.

Is there any faster ways? (Playing as Logan).

I want to level up fast because I got a ton of free lvl 60 items that do tons of damage but obviously apart for value they don't do much for me. Most are worth around $10,000 each.

Thanks in Advance =)

I started a game with Purna a few days ago with that exact idea in mind. I thought if I could level up quickly I could get some insanely effective weapons to make my game easier. I was wrong. Very wrong. I am currently at level 50 in the jungle and I am still lucky to get anything above 600 damage. The force attribute has progressed with my level, but certainly not the damage. Even after finding several Orange grade weapons like machetes, double blades, and tonfas my best weapon was a flimsy wakisashi that I randomly found two days ago along the beach. Yesterday I was mid 40's and I was lucky to break 500 damage. For some reason the damage attributes of the weapons just aren't catching up with my Skill Level. I figure that the game increases the attributes of weapons after several play-throughs instead of how fast you level up. It took me a few completed games with Logan before I started seeing any really significant damaging weapons.

Edit: I apologise. I skimmed through your post and didn't read the end. Your strategy is sound but be warned - it's time consuming. One of the fastest ways I have found is by finding an area populated with walkers and any special infected such as Thugs or Floaters and using my fury. Usually during a fury attack your XP will be doubled or tripled based on how many enemies you kill. While I farm for weapons along the beach I kill walkers, build my fury, unleash that fury, and begin all over again. Other than that the only tip I can offer you is collecting alcohol, waters, cans of food, and champagne to collect the XP from the survivors you give them to.

Completing challenges will give you a lot of xp. Look under 'extras' in main menu to check your progress and focus on one or more that you are close to completing. You can usually do this while also doing side quests, as Ogre suggested. I always liked the one to get water for Kim as it's so easy to find( it respawns in the surf shop, lower deck of Nikolais bunker, the bar hut below the lighthouse, the hut where you got the necklace, etc). You can stock up many fairly quickly and you get cash as well as xp. Hold onto your canned food; you can trade it for rifle ammo when you get to the jungle.

first of all you have to be sure that you want to do it that way, because it may decreases the fun factor.

if you complete the story without hacks or fast-level-tricks it is more challenge and in my opinion every one should do that the first time playing it. but surely everyone can do it his own way.

so if you really want to lvl up fast, rush through the main quests to end the game and on the second run you will get much more xp for quests and kills.

with xian i got 15000 - 30000 xp per quest from the beginning of the game on the second run.
for killing a THUG, 5000 xp ...

from svetlana i got 17.000 xp per bottle of champagne. and you can dupe champagne by shooting at it while picking it up (needs a partner).
with this glitch you can lvl up to 60 in an hour and you can get to svetlana from the beginning of the game/second run.

i have to say, that i did the sidequest too on the first run and that may raises the xp on the second one too. i do not know that exactly, but you do get much more when you start a new game+. thats for sure.

but as i already wrote, rushing and leveling up may decrease the fun-faktor.
i played first with purna and went three times through the story, then sam b. once before i chose xian, because she is the best with sharp weapons like katana and wakizashi.
so i played al the quests without fast leveling and hacks several times before i decided to lvl xian up fast, because i wanted her on lvl 60 too.

another way to lvl up is the arena in combination with your challenges, like killing floaters and butchers. you will get much xp for those and ohter challenges and you will pick up very much money in arena a!

Get the Military-industrial Complex challenge if you haven't already.
It's extremely easy, just get to the part where you have to kill Afran, or to the place with the rich people, man the machine gun and place your controller so it holds down the fire button. Then just go to do something else for an hour or so.
From 1/4 to 4/4 it will net you 193.000 experience, without doing anything.

he wrote that he unlocked moresby and resort ... but he could go to the city hall to do that. on the balcony is a gatling gun.
but as i already wrote he could make the challenges at the arena a, like kills, floaters and butchers. for floaters you get 400.000 just on 4/4.
