Best missions to farm enemies for AA weapons

Av solaris32

This guide will list all the AA weapons you can acquire, their stats, which enemy you have to kill to get them, how many to kill, and the best missions to farm these enemies. This guide contains spoilers for missions and enemies. Difficulty doesn't matter, only kills, and you must beat a mission for the kills to count.
Screenshots of the weapons were taken from this Youtube video:

Assault Rifle

PG-V3-GD

Silver Ant = 1000
Best farm missions:
Mission 40: A bunch of silver ants at the start, then some super scourgers, then more silver ants.
Mission 24: The first time they appear and there's a bunch of them.

AW-Furious Ares

Crazy Ant = 1200
Best farm missions:
Mission 17: It's nothing but crazy ants and attack pods, with some raidships deploying them. This is the best mission because you can farm both crazy ants and the attack pods.
Mission 23: This mission is only crazy ants so if that's all you care about then this mission might be best for you. I still prefer mission 17 because it too has a bunch of crazy ants but other enemies as well.

AE-2030

Storm Ant = 2500
Best farm missions:
Mission 1: Nothing but storm ants and it's pretty easy even on hardest/disaster. You get about 70 storm ants per completion.

Shotgun

PC-Hurricane L.M.I.

Queen Ant = 110
Best farm missions:
Mission 47: It's the best one where multiple queens spawn, but the mission is very hard.

SP-Union Jack

Zombie Ant = 750
Best farm missions:
Mission 39: It's the first mission where these spawn and there's a fair amount of them.
Mission 52: A bunch of zombie ants and scorpions spawn.

Sniper Rifle

SH-Aria

Winged Ant = 1500
Best farm missions:
Mission 21: After you kill the first wave of winged ants, more winged ants spawn as well as a bunch of scorpions. The winged ants seem to spawn indefinitely until you kill all the scorpions prompting the 3rd wave. So play on easy and keep killing the winged ants while ignoring the scorpions.

PT-Photon Supplier X

Death Stalker = 750
Best farm missions:
Mission 14: The first mission where they show up. After you kill the first wave of scorpions 3 raidships show up. The ships spawn indefinitely until the countdown ends. The ship closest to the middle of the map spawns scourgers, the robot guys, so keep killing that ship. The other 2 ships spawn scorpions and attack pods so ignore them to get more scorpions. I averaged 40+ scorpion kills per completion. Wondering if there's a better mission.

Rocket Launcher

Darius III

Scourger = 400
Best farm missions:
Mission 25: I counted 18 scourgers here.

RC-Gauss Zwei

Super Scourger = 275
Best farm missions:
Mission 33: Some super scourgers spawn and there's a raidship that drops them. Also there's a raidship that drops scorpions, green bomb beetles come from somewhere, and there's some raznid larva. This isn't a bad mission to farm all those.
Mission 43: It starts with a bunch of attack pods and the super variant, then a bunch of raznid larva. After that something like 19 super scourgers spawn in the water. However Verbena wipes out over half of them, and AI kills do not count. Furthermore, when one explodes it deals damage, and if it's near other scourgers it damages them. For me this killed a bunch of super scourgers, so that when I was testing the kill count I only had 3 confirmed kills. You would need to do this on easy and wipe them out before the AI and enemy collateral damage does.

Missile launcher

SQ-Curtain Call

Harvester = 150
Best farm missions:
Mission 38: This mission has a decent amount of both harvesters and super harvesters, as well as some super attack pods.
Mission 10: A bunch show up and the mission itself is pretty easy.

WS-Gottfried

Super harvester = 90
Best farm missions:
Mission 38: This mission has a decent amount of both harvesters and super harvesters, as well as some super attack pods.

Laser Rifle

BS-Opx. N1 "Natsuko"

Super Attack pod = 200
Best farm missions:
Mission 46: First there are 2 raidships, destroy those. Then 2 more raidships, destroy those. Finally there is a 5th and final raidship and some super scourgers spawn. This final raidship spawns super attack pods. So take out the super scourgers and farm the super attack pods. This is also the best mission to farm credits on disaster because it's quick and easy.

CM-Maser Rifle

Attack pod = 2000
Best farm missions:
Mission 19: Starts with 3 raidships that infinitely spawn attack pods.
Mission 17: A ton of these attack pods spawn. There's also a bunch of crazy ants to help towards that goal.

GK-Exotic Ray Rudra

Raidship = 220
Best farm missions:
Mission 46: 5 raidships spawn and a few super scourgers. Since this is the best mission to farm for credits on disaster, maybe start your farming here since you'll probably be doing it anyway.
Mission 49: A LOT of raidships spawn here.

Grenade Launcher

DD-Etherite III

Green Bomb Beetle = 500
Best farm missions:
Mission 30: After you kill some of the regular sideros a TON of green and regular bomb beetles show up.
Mission 31: After you kill a few waves of winged ants a whole lot of just green bomb beetles appear. There's also a single queen ant at the end.

TF-Anger GD II

Bomb Beetle = 600
Best farm missions:
Mission 30: After you kill some of the regular sideros a TON of green and regular bomb beetles show up.
Mission 20: After you deal enough damage to Godzilla (I think that's the trigger) a bunch of bomb beetles show up as well as more scorpions. So not a bad place to farm the two, but not as good as mission 30.

Sword

AM-Sinister Arcsaber

Sideros = 425
Best farm missions:
Mission 50: A lot of raznid larva at the beginning. Then a ton of sideros and mutant sideros spawn, and more raznid larva too.
Mission 22: Only sideros spawn here, there's a lot, and it's fairly simple with heavy striker even on disaster.

Minigun

EC-Reconquista

Zombie Scorpion = 280
Best farm missions:
Mission 43: After the first wave of zombie ants some zombie scorpions and more ants show up.
Mission 52: A bunch of zombie ants and scorpions spawn.

Energy Thrower

BL-Hastings Triumph

Wolf Spider = 600
Best farm missions:
Mission 5: The little spiders the mommas release count as kills, so ignore the mommas and shoot the babies. Any mission that has spiders will do.

Railgun

SL-Viol

Mutant Sideros = 175
Best farm missions:
Mission 50: A lot of raznid larva at the beginning. Then a ton of sideros and mutant sideros spawn, and more raznid larva too.
Mission 37: Destroying the nests causes mutant sideros to spawn as well as some raznid larva.

Satellite weapon

MR-Super Missile: Galileo II

Mystic spider = 200
Best farm missions:
Mission 41: Their first appearance, it's in a cave, and shooting the babies counts. You don't even need to farm, just beat the mission 2-3 times and you should get it.

Laser Cannon

SN-Apocalypse Tempest

Raznid Larva = 2000
Best farm missions:
Mission 50: A lot of raznid larva at the beginning. Then a ton of sideros and mutant sideros spawn, and more raznid larva too.
Mission 34: A bunch of raznid larva spawn, as well as a few mutant sideros. However the mission is long.

Some of the stuff I posted is definitely outdated. Think they might have had a nerf patch sometime in the past 2 years.

timothyninja002 7 feb, 2024 @ 16:13

The mission I used for scourgers and attack pods was mission 13. If you don't destroy the gargant the scourgers and attack pods spawn endlessly. I got 106 scourgers and 276 attack pods in 10 minutes just following the gargant in circles.

Cowardly Camper 4 feb, 2023 @ 23:36

The mission is staged. If you don't wait for the rebels to attack, your second missile won't do anything and you'll have to wait til they recharge. There's a large turret on the ship. Hiding under its overhang can keep you from taking significant damage. There are other places above it you can hide as well if you bring a lifter instead of a heavy.

Michaelcoe94 4 feb, 2023 @ 23:04

Under what turret? And why wait for rebels to attack?

Cowardly Camper 20 maj, 2021 @ 18:50

Mission 52 is the fastest way I know of to farm credits. Can beat it on disaster in under 3 minutes and there's no crystal timer afterwards. 110,000 per run. It's also the best place to farm raznid larvae. On easy mode, just hide under the turret and kill nothing but larvae until you get bored, as they spawn forever. Then drop 2 Galileo missiles on raznid 2.0 and claim victory. Just remember to wait until after the rebels start to attack before dropping the second missile.

minigun says mission 43
there are no scorps on 43

Darkvizardberrytan 18 jan, 2021 @ 14:56

Difficulty can be used to overstep the kill count. Just did Mission 41 on disaster and got the Satellite weapon from my first run of it.

solaris32 [skapare] 8 nov, 2020 @ 3:55

I can't answer the first one as I never did coop. Pretty sure you have to complete the mission for the kills to count, but I'm not 100% sure.

Ritter 8 nov, 2020 @ 3:28

1. do kills in mp/coop count?
2. if i fail a mission, but succeed in the next try, will kills from the first run count?

John27 2 nov, 2020 @ 23:14

"Difficulty doesn't matter, only kills, and you must beat a mission for the kills to count."
That's a relief, recently i replayed after finishing like 10 missions, but on hard, as usual like EDF
But now i'll replay again from beginning but on lower difficulty.
