Remember New Non-member Planetmen, spend your hard-earned Certs on Class Abilities FIRST! don't spend your Certs for guns or vehicles until you think you understand the game as a whole. (1000 certs/gun don't come so easy...) You will learn that your default gun is very excellent ;) Also, don't buy anything in Construction until you get super involved in Outfit Op nights (They will let you know what you need)

Agreed although my Watchmen and Chaingun purchases in the beginning alongside some minor cheap class upgrades (on my newer second accountant) are what made me stay. Brrrt is just so much fun and honestly it pays so god damn well. But medic with revive wins out.

i've found out that a maxed out ammo box on engie can give an obscene amount of certs in big fights : you have two, you can redeploy them every 5 seconds, you don't have to put yourself at risk, and you can still kill/repair while the ammo pack is feeding you XP. yes it does cost certs to reach it's full potencial, but the payout is well worth it in my eyes.

I think cortium harvesting is another good way to earn certs. Is always available, no enemies to stop you and so easy that becomes relaxing. You turn on your favorite music and take a ride through auraxis. Recommend if you need a break from all the high adrenaline battles.

[@ApolloPS2]

Yeah I was debating putting that one in. Opted for something that is actually doing something s a criteria tho. Cortina farming in my book toes the line of exploit tbh since it isn't playing the game as intended and I don't think a good way to show off the game to newer players would be to highlight a mundane playstyle.

[@CoffeeKitty.]

@@ApolloPS2 i would have preferred if you did put it in, with the explicit caveat of the benefits of proper router and OS use, because yes it's kind of lame to have people eat all the good coritum just to recycle into useless silos, having more cognisant miners around feeding OS bases and forward outposts and more players learning to router plant would make the faction they're in do a lot better. as an "ant main" since it's release i've turned entire continents completley by myself with a well placed router or OS, not to mention the sheer number of certs and **DOPAMINE** hitting a 50+ kill OS brings can't be beat, but as you said in your video, this is incredibly niche, and has a LOT of start up capital. i just think if people are more educated about what ants can really do for the continent at large we'd see less selfish brainless miners. maybe do a follow up vid at some point :)

[@AniketBaniket]

nice video but i'd recommend showing off the things you list such as flash with triage and scout radar. Remember that new players might not understand what they mean even if you're explaining it

[@theDemolisher13]

Can I just add if you want to chill for a bit but don't want the fast pace action you could play ANT simulator 2021. Basically go out with a ANT and mine some cortium and drop it off at a friendly silo you will make a least 1 to 2 certs a minute that way. You can make more if you do missions for it as well. It's not the fastest but it's thee most reliable. You could also just sit under a bio lap with a scout radar ANT or Bus and make certs for giving your allies enemy pings.

[@stephenscordato4321]

i did this when i've been feeding too much, and wanting to farm exp/certs. definitely works, especially if it's a squad member's silo

[@FamiAoi]

Something more reliable than that is to cloak the ant and go run over mass quantities of enemy troops spawning at a sunderer. You get more certs in 10 seconds than you would in 10 minutes of driving all over the place only looking for cortium and silos.

In my experience, it's all comes down to playstyle. A friend of mine was printing money with AI Lightning, while I was only good at dying with it. On the other hand, I made a lot of money with well placed sunderers, that everyone used (cos all not-so-well-placed ones were killed).

[@Stygiophobic]

As someone who just started, I did this with medic and I've made enough to unlock a lot of stuff on other classes I like besides weapons, those I'm more picky with cause they're pricey haha.

fastest inital method is (boringly enough) revives.

Fellow Ps2 vet here. Very well made video !

[@marcomohler2446]

An super easy and always accesable way to get cert is just taking a fnt and farm kortium. spawn a silo, put it in, look for more, new silo, etc- i used to do that sometimes because im not that good at aiming and you could do it while doing sth else and you dont need anyone else. just wouldnt recommend it in the long run

[@ARWINGx1]

3:16 I remember that when I were playing with my (faded into obscurity long ago) NC Outfit, when (upon my request) someone was evaluating me for a promotion, I failed, because I couldn't lead AND fight at the same time. I mean, that I wouldn't be able to lead while I'm in a firefight

[@ApolloPS2]

Interesting but it can be true. Very few can do both effectively at the same time. I know I'm a much better leader when not farming, but it's hard to stop so I see the logic. For the vast majority of folks to lead u need to be willing to tone down the intensity of ur own play to make the right call quickly.

Thanks Apollo, you're a sweetheart

[@pedropimenta896]

I like the passive ways of farming. I'm a terrible shooter and have bad connection, so just chilling inside a Valkyrie equipped with Scout Radar (it's 200m, the double a Flash has) will earn me more certs than if I try my luck at killing enemies. I do this while people respawn on my well-placed routers, which is just like reviving people, minus the trouble of having to dodge bullets and competition with other medics.

[@ApolloPS2]

One of the best parts of Planetside are the insane number of ways u can support your team and the fact that the current state of the game rewards you for it well.

[@ghostbravo7127]

My personal favorite was always revive grenades with bando at massive choke points. I always found myself easily getting 10 or close to ten revives per grenade. 50 of those grenades and you get 150 credits. Then pair in the healing and objective time, alongside any potential kills (even if you only get a few), run a Punisher for even more heal grenades, and you will find yourself with 500-1000 credits from two weekend sessions.

[@YuJay]

When I start a new character the first things I get are QCQ Sniper, Stalker Cloak and HESH for Lightning. When I started my NSO it was funny watching the Haxusations in yell chat with a 6-20+ KDR at BR20-30 from bailing out of the lightning and redeploying. :) That KDR rapidly drops off to 3-5 KDR when using the certs gain from Inf to equip HA. The other thing I noticed on the road to BR100 again (with missions), missions are FAR more generous before BR100. Not sure at what point the mission system considers you to be at End game, but those mission rewards get stingy quick.. I often get asked how to keep a high KDR or get a lot of kills without dying and my answer is honestly simple, stop following the sheep. There are three types of players when fighting a Zerg, those who farm the entrance or support those keep them at bay, and those who find alternative routes to flank who seek more profit and often encounter those seeking to do the same. The third would be the Zergling who has no care for his KDR and just plays for fun and charging in to gun fire with their entire squad is fun to them.

Select primary on the loadout screen and scroll down. You don't get an SMG unlocked by default unfortunately so you will need to purchase one with your hard earned cert points. Common advice for newer players is to wait a bit before buying weapons with certs and instead upgrade your class abilities. The default weapons are all very good. The ones you unlock typically excel in niche areas. SMG is probably the only gun that is worth getting earlier tho since it will be available to every infantry class.

@@ApolloPS2 I have been playing for years. Meaning I used to sit in a rumble seat repairing away. I loved doing that. Now, a bit of a tangent, I miss doing that. What I don't like is it removes any addition to be in the rumble seat as engi. Light assault and heavy assault have their rockets. The medic allows healing. The infiltrator. Their darts (or if you can get a stable valk. Air support sniper is a fun way to play despite not being smart.) the engi allowed for the repairs. Now if they gave a heat based weapon. IE their turret. It would make them have a reason to be seated there when not driving. Moving back. As I said I've been playing for years. Now I'm not going to say I have everything I can get with certs because while I have been playing for years I haven't been cert farming. So now that I have decided to cert farm I find videos like this one of yours amazing. Another thought I had while typing out the last bit. I wish there was a better way to do bombing runs though. Sitting in the air focusing on target after target is frustrating. I want to be able to cause disruptions in combat as aircraft by virtue of 4 round bombing. I feel Lib would be perfect for. Use its bottom gun give it 4 rounds before needing to reload 16 rounds in total before needing to restock. Large area and long reload time. Would make libs more terrifying in terms of something you don't want flying overhead. Have them do minimal damage to vehicles though. Just powerful anti infantry explosives.

@@ApolloPS2 I mean the turret idea kinda makes sense when you think about it. A mounted gun. It would allow for some modular air support. Bouncing between a more AV and ai support. The turrets are strong but they do have their limits. This would extend them a bit without completely breaking the game. Allowing for a bit of a realistic (well realistic within the confines of the game) feel to how an open sided aircraft would give. Or possible only facing backwards on the flash. A dumb idea but a semi balanced one that could be fun. Specially for hit and run situations. The guy on the back poking (because good luck aiming when going fast) anyone they miss. The Chimera would just give it again modular support bouncing between vehicle and infantry pending on turret type. And its not like the turrets are that powerful. Just really supposed to be support.

i'm a ps4 player and i don't see these weapon you're using why???

[@ApolloPS2]

I play on the VS faction, though some of these weapons (marked with NS) are common pool and available to all factions. They are also purchased with certs the in game experience currency in planetside 2 (some of them also have cosmetic variants but there are free to play equivalents).

Watching some of that footage almost looks like you’re playing against bots. That clip where you run up the stairs of the double stack being held by TR with a router you literally turn you back on a manned anti infantry gun and several other players to stare at a corpse getting back up for 2-3 seconds and don’t take a single shot while you walk up the rest of the stairs, kill 6 people and clear the router. What server has players like this?

[@ApolloPS2]

While emerald TR are indeed pitiful, if u look closer u will realize that the turret is unmanned and I am leading a push with allies coming from multiple enterances while using cover advantageously. The only threats looking at me have one of my allies lighting them up and the main objective is to take out the router so I focused that. We outnumbered them pretty quickly, so while I was lucky not to die, my survival wasn't all that unlikely. If I did die, it wouldn't be a big deal as long as their router was destroyed.

you should mention on which platform you're playing on. The experience of gameplay differs

True. This is on PC.

rich apollo religion game is lie propaganda to force players to kill nations. What is nation? Humans born without nationality, born without fascism, nationalization in childhood make them. False value, false enemy, false nation definition make false enemy, destroy value of life. Nationalist kleptocracy created fa. Wikipedia false nations definition changed always. They kill for nation, they not know what nation is. Many program errors. Slow computer, small fire frequency. Support nationalist kleptocracy value system, that created fa.

“At number 🔟, we have the Triage Scout Radar Flash. This is a bit of a cheesy one 🧀 when you are feeling lazy 😴, but it is highly effective 🚨-make no mistake 👨‍🏫.

The video showed nothing of the weapons or tactics used for any certs that would actually help a new player. I saw a lot of very effective killing with uber weapons. Would have been better to show the actual starting weapons and tactics that can be used by new players (all factions) not just the "pay for play" outfits and weapons.

[@leandrogoethals6599]

how about this: (the boring part)U mine cordium for a while and deposit it in a silo (the fun part :)) U buy the air vehicle platform and endlessy spawn planes with rockets(850 certs) there u can shoot it at infantry Be sure to wash urself after this cause it's pretty damn nasty

[@ApolloPS2]

Yeah it's profitable but I'd rather not point thousands of people to that kind of life LOL

[@wallonthefloor]

fight the NC dude! this whole video I see you killing TR

[@WingsAboveCS]

I mean, an even more boring, and slightly exploitative way to earn certs is to just hop into an ANT with the thruster and harvest the corotium at the WG. Corotium there respawns instantly, and by spamming the thruster you can drain your tank in a matter of seconds (like, spamming the button drains it faster than holding it) This is so bad that it's not even worth it to deposit the corotium, just burn it with the thruster, and watch the certs roll in with 0 risk Yeah, that should be fixed. (at least it isn't as bad as the now nerfed decaying building repair, i legit went from level 40 or so to lv 90 in a single day when that was around)

[@kubankhaos]

[@uniquerod52]

How come these enemies in his video are so bad, like, HOW, in reality they do like triple headshots to you with direct kill and you can't even react in time regardless how far they are. Sometimes I just think they're using aimbot but then again, I know I'm really bad at fps games so I just kind of let it go lmao.

[@ApolloPS2]

Keep ur head up, king. Or actually keep it down, looking at the minimap. And strike at the right time with other competent allies to soak some of those bullets. 😀

learn to drive armor and fly as well flying goes a long ways when you don't want to be on the ground and the AA isn't heavy.

I always recommend to start looking for folks to help dip ur toes into air and armor once u get the fundamentals of infantry down. Some folks r just built for it but everyone should give it a go.

there is only 1 way to earn certs now... just role play as mossie with drifter jump jet and seeker
