How do I level up fast and get more shields and HP? [duplicate]
I have seen a video (
) of a guy who is at the same mission as me but of a much higher level as me (He is 25, I am 19) and has a TON more shields and HP than me.I am pretty much always dying when I try to solo missions. When I am with a team, I have to let them do the mission while I sit in a corner.
Are there any tips to level up fast? Like.... kill tons of enemies, do side quests, etc.?
Also, are there any ways to get more shields and HP?
Solution 1:
There is no specific way to level up fast. (Well, there were exploits like that RSVP mission, but they are grinding and not fun.)
You just need to take missions slower - i.e. check level on main missions - if the main mission is of higher level than you, go look for some side missions. Generally, if you do all of the side missions, you should have plenty of extra experience and be at least of equal level to main quests.
Shield points do not depend on your level - only on the shield equipped. To get high-level shields and other equipment, you need to either farm an area with monsters of decent level, or frequent vending machines in such areas. For example, if you are on a Dam Fine Rescue quest and level 12, there is no point to hang out in Three Horns Divide - the area, enemies and vending machines are all level 8, and you'll never get a good drop there.
TL;DR:
- To get more HP, level up by doing more side quests.
- To get stronger shields, fight stronger enemies, ideally of your own level.
