Had a friend in elementary school break his arm on one of these . Still has the scar . I still remember the sound of his bone snapping and was surprised how white bones actually are . <| sep |> Watch out dude the thing ' s really really fucking angry . I mean , wouldn ' t you be if you try to shoot dope but the needle melts away ? <| sep |> Bach ' s fugues are also discussed in Gdel , Escher , Bach An Eternal Golden Braid , a book about how selfreference and formal rules allow systems to acquire meaning despite being made of meaningless elements . It ' s basically a book exploring possible bridges between Logic , Machine Intelligence and Consciousnesses or Mind <| sep |> People with double XP coupons can spam Coliseum mode for the fastest possible leveling , as Coliseum matches are extremely short compared to any other mode . That said most people don ' t have codes and suck at coliseum mode . So the next best thing is to optimize your leveling speed by playing not to win , but to grind merits . Wins help , but playing to level faster won ' t make you play your best because you ' re leveling guns you otherwise would never use . Also you will be playing Attrition only because it ' s the fastest game mode outside of coliseum , capping out at 12 minutes per game . Assuming you play to maximize merits , you will earn anywhere between 37 merits per match by Finishing the match Killing 3 pilots for the good performance Leveling up a Primary Leveling up a Secondary Leveling up a Titan Leveling up a Faction Winning the matchBefore each match you will determine what sets of equipment require the least amount of merits to level up and add them to your loadout . You will have to use each weapon until every weapon ' s level up bar is the maximum length of 10 , which happens at level 4 for pilot weapons . You will do the same for your Titans and Factions . Once everything takes the same amount of time , you need to make your main weapon regenerate by reaching level 20 with it . It will reset the first 3 levels , giving you more fast merits . Factions will grant you 1 merit every 5 wins after Level 3 . So you want to regen those every time they hit level 10 for the quick level ups at 1 and 2 . Basically you ' ll cycle through them one at a time as you win games , making you level slightly faster . While in games , you need to finish pilots and titans with the weapon you ' re trying to level . You can see your weapon progress on screen as you have it equipped . Once you level up a weapon mid match , try to switch to another weapon that needs leveling . While killing grunts for the score is nice , your main goal should be targeting players . Try your best not to use grenades or boosts to kill players . I suggest taking arc grenades or gravity star to slow players , making them easy to kill with your weapon . Take map hack as a useful boost instead of anything that does damage . You also need to doom titans , so using your antititan weapons you need to try to last hit titans other people are fighting . I think you get double merits for dooming AND killing the titan with the pilot inside . This makes antititan weapons the easiest weapons to level in the entire game . Playing this way should level you up quickly with minimal amount of games . It also has the side effect of forcing you to get good with every weapon in the game . I know some weapons took way longer than others simply because I had to change strategies . I stopped leveling weapons I didn ' t like after I got all the attachment slots unlocked level 11 . After doing that its faster to use your best weapon and keep regenning it . Some people can double level a weapon 20 kills in a single match , but that ' s extremely hard to do . I found I could do it with Titans because you get merits for both pilot and titan kills . In my opinion Ronin kills things the fastest , so it ' s the best titan to level up .
