== Mastery Farming ==
+
* Soloing level 400 [[Nightmare Mode (SAS4)|Nightmare Mode ]] mode games and killing all zombies within a map with the same type of weapon will earn around 10,000 mastery exp each time. This is a perfect and quick way to farming masteries, esp for guns you may want the mastery for quickly. In doing this, you can obtain level 5 from level 4 in any gun mastery in about 38 Nightmare mode games. Some guns will make the games longer due to killing power, but the kills will roughly be the same, as will the mastery exp reward.
+
+
* Low leveled Nightmare mode games will generally spawn the same number of zombies, but not as tough, so the reward for a lower level game will be the same. The difference in mastery exp between a level 70 and level 400 Nightmare game however, is about 2000 exp.
+
* This farming technique works the same in any other game mode, however, you will earn much less.
+
** [[Events]] generally don't go for very long, and the zombies usually spawn at a constant rate which is a little less than Nightmare mode (and Nightmare mode generally boosts everything anyway). Apocalypse being the longest event you can likely play, 10 minutes of constant kills will generally earn you about 2000 mastery exp, so it's not as worth it, unless you're trying for the exp rewards or/and have no more Nightmare mode tickets left.
+
** [[Contracts]] only last 2 minutes, so there isn't much point in trying here as the rewards are very little. Even the EXP contract (Zombie Hotspot) won't help, as it only boosts the exp you get, not the mastery exp.
+
** Single Player and normal Multi Player is actually an easy way of doing this same method as it is both easier and faster than most other game modes. Self boosting in Multi Player is obviously a better way as you'll boost the number and toughness of the zombies, but if you're unable to do that, Single Player works just as well. The best maps to do this on are generally: [[Vaccine]] ( for quick mastery exp boosting), [[Zombie Pods]] ( if rushed each time and done over and over), [[Power Out]] ( as the runners/spitters never stop spawning, you can keep earning provided the [[Loaderbot|Loaderbots]] don't die), Last Stand (generally good for Rocket mastery farming), and [[Meltdown]] - even better with the [[Meltdown#Loot|Cave]] spawning (provided every room is opened and all zombies are killed before finishing).
