    Annoying but very fast and easy way to boost :

    Have a light class to run faster.
    Make the soldier class your default class.

    Select free play, private game, objective type, invitation only
    Map : Labs
    Customize server :
    Min Team Size : 0
    Max team size : 1
    Players needed : 1

    Start as Resistance.

    Notice that you're alone with no ennemies, but you'll still get the xp.

    Then just rush the primary objectives.
    Rush to the door, plant the bomb and stay close to it until it explodes.
    Then rush to the post in front of you and take Ingineer class, rush to the Bio-sequencer and repair it (longest part). When done, the sample will drop in front of it, just take it to the submarine.

    Don't forget to hold LB to sprint.

    When you'll know well the path, it'll take you 3 minutes to make it all. Thanks to the bonus, you'll get 5500 xp in 4 minutes including the loadings. (About 83 000 xp an hour)

    I am MindslaveI finished grinding this out early this morning. its definitely the fastest way IMO especially if there is no one to boost xp with. I just browsed the internet while waiting on objectives to complete. Oh and for the guy above me even though it was a month ago: You need 503,000 xp to get level 24... so you need around 200k more xp from rank 20

    DoddingtownI don't see how this guide has any negative votes? This is just an option of leveling up quickly, and there are other methods of doing it as well!

    OK. Firstly this will get you just under 100,000 XP in one go !!! With absolutely minimal effort required.

    Note: This can do done with a bot OR another player

    Firstly, props to KamiKazeKore and Tatakai no Kami. this is a modification of their strategys

    So setup the game in the following manner:

    Freeplay - Private Match - Versus - Only Invation (+20%)
    Map: Reactor
    Min Player: 0
    Max Player: 1
    Overtime: Yes

    Player that needs most XP as Resistance, other players as Security

    Resistance: Operative
    Security: Engineer

    Both go to the same vent

    Resistance player starts hacking

    Security waits until percentage is at 20% then simultaneously starts to remove hackbox (they will have to hold the X button down to accomplish this, perhaps some sticky tape ?)

    IMPORTANT: Both players are hacking AND removing at the same time so BOTH players get XP at the same time

    Now, in this setup, you will notice that the hack percentage still goes up. In order to combat this, the Resistance player that is hacking simply needs to move further back so that the hack is less effective

    Back by how much ? Well the easy bit is to move back until the hack percentage counter in the top right of the screen turns from yellow to orange. Once it has done this move EVER so slightly forward until it goes back to yellow, no more

    Once you have this setup, the percentage will no move, the timer will run to 0 and then overtime will continue, there is NO end game in this situation (I've had it up to 1h34m like this)

    No further effort is required AT ALL until the game ends (unbelieveable I know)

    CAUTION: The XP counter will RESET once it gets to 99,999 XP. Therefore you MUST stop the game at approx 90,000 XP in order to allow for the end game bonus (yes I found out the hard way, lost over 100k in XP :( )

    Remember, the security player will get MORE XP than resistance, but considering you can get approx 80-90k EACH in one go without any effort, easy to repeat

    Best of luck

    JCDRANZERThe XP doesn't reset for the host but resets for the guest or invited player.

    Inferno118Saved me a ton of work! Thanks!!!

    Brave TanukiThis deserves to be the top solution! I had to do a bit of dancing and dodging around the pillars, but I managed to get it working just fine against a computer opponent.

    I did this by mistake, I was still going to the reactor and hiding for about 27-30,000 after 30 minutes............. that's the wrong way to boost.

    You need to make an objective game and make it friends and invite only.
    Min players1
    Max players1
    Map reactor
    Overtime On
    Switch teams to Resistance if you don't start as that team
    Select an Operative Class

    I always went after the right vent(probably can go left if you want) and it works much better with a character lower tier 2 or under.(level 13 and down)

    What you do is you run in and hack the vent, when the AI comes (usually from the top middle the first time) you kill him.

    If you stand right behind the hack box with the vent blocking your view from the door, the AI will always come in the room from that side and start to defuse if he doesn't see you. He will lock into the defuse even if he sees you after he starts (happens at level 20 too but the AI can stop defusing after a 1 minute or so if he is looking right at you). kill him and start hacking again.

    Do this until the hacker hits 70-75%. After that you continue to hide on the left side of the vent right next to the hack box but about 3 steps back, with your characters body completely hiding from the site of the bot but don't kill him when he locks in.

    Again seeing no enemy, the bot will run up to the vent and hack. Even if he sees you after starting he won't stop hacking (at lower levels), but to be safe you should hide to the opposite side of where the bot comes to defuse at. If he is to the left, you're to the right of the vent. And if he is in the middle just hide straight behind the Vent. Basically keep the vent between the you and the AI.

    Now this is the important part, you start to back away from the Hacking vent until the percentage in the right goes from yellow to orange/brown. This means the AI is defusing more than you are hacking. It happens around 4 bars of connection or when you see your hack points are at +12 or +13.(At higher levels the AI could have engineer skills that let him defuse faster, so tier 3 players might have to sit closer)

    Once you are in a sweet spot of inching forward and backwards in this range, make sure you leave it just in the orange/brown range. This will likely freeze the counter or worse case it will take the bot hours to defuse from 95%. After that you just walk away, go to sleep, change your car oil......what ever.

    Because if you get this right the game will go into Overtime and keep going, after 120 minutes you should have about 170,000 exp if you stop hacking and let the bot defuse. Never Quit.

    These are all projections because I was done with the game after 1 hour.

    If you left for 2 hours it you should have 240,000 and a 15% bonus 3600.
    3 hours would be 360,000 bonus 54,000.
    4 hours would be 480,000 bonus 72,000.
    So in 3 1/2 to 4 hours, you can go from level 1 to 24.

    Sidenote: for level 13 and higher tier 3 plus players, the computer will be more aggressive because he has more skill/skills. The engineer will be much more likely to stop his hack to look for you if you are too close or to put down a turret or mine.

    Level 20 players should check after 30 minutes to a hour to see if they are dead on the ground. You can get it to where he will leave you alone depending on the AI they set for that match, but things can go wrong with the super aggressive Bot.

    He usually has the ability to shoot after you down him. Watch out for that bot if you are level 20 or higher.

    *******Update:To avoid the aggressive Bot- " Start up Brink offline. This disables the DLC which is important. I can verify from testing that the so-called "smart" or aggressive AI only appears when the DLC is active. In the menus, now sign back into XBL and set up the vs. match, but this is the great part - the DLC will remain disabled."

    The Level caps at 20 and exp at 300,00 but it saves all exp earned and it will unlock the next time you log in to the DLC

    JCDRANZERCONFIRMED

    The XP is uncapped for the host but it's capped to about 65K (including all bonuses) for the invited player.

    Soul Shadow X2@JDCRANZER So basically you read xX Anji Xx solution and decided to do things your way and then gave him a down vote because your method had different outcomes than his... ? well only natural since you didn't follow the very step as xX Anji Xx states "min player 1 max player 1".

    what you should do is up vote for using his solution as a template for your method and then take your method and put it on here as solution for those who want a method for when they are boosting with a friend.

    what you should have done was give him an up vote for his solution giving you a template to go off of and then adding what you did as a solution to this achievement guide list for people that are boosting with friends.

    Bolter EliteIf you have 2 Copies, you can also change yourself to disarming instead of hacking increasing the rewards from 12 per tick to 20 per tick of XP. Possibly cutting the grind by quite a bit

    Having 2 copies makes several of the Misc achieves alot easier aswell
