How to unlock the Scavenger achievement in Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon - Definitive Guide
so, for this achievement must "farming" the dropping weapon. this is the settings
Game type: offline
bots :Off
campaign : Remix
difficulty : inferno
chapter :3
level : 2
in remix mode, at start we are 3-4 hector and 1- 2 wasp or metal wasp (at random). kill them all with pesticide gun (the explosion is very big! calculate the distance or you die ) take all the boxs and restart the level.
with this method i pick 103/107 in a lot of time.
yesterday i take the last five weapon in 2 hours simply restarting the game after 3 restart (go back to dashboard) .I got new weapons at the first, second and third attempt (obviously not always but percentages more than 10 attempts playing in a row)
sorry for my bad english and good farming :D
An easier way to cultivate the rest of the weapons is to play the chapter. 3: Mission 2. There will be 4 or 5 small hectors at the beginning of the level or chapter. 1: Mission 4 both in mode (REMIX or CAMPAIGN).
Clear the entire map and then restart to continue picking up the weapons.
There are 107 weapon drops. These drops are completely random. They drop from the "elite" enemies and from main bosses. Hectors, Large Hectors, Wasps, Bomber Spiders and the 3 main bosses will all drop weapon crates when they are destroyed. The crates show up as yellow crosses on your map. Weapons will repeat so in the course of your playthrough, you may receive 107 drops but that doesn't mean you'll have all 107 unique weapons. Also, whether a boss drops these crates is random; sometimes you'll only get a health crate.
You can check your inventory to see your weapons from drops They will have a small biohazard symbol next to them. Some weapon drops cannot be used immediately. For example: If you are at Level 3 with your trooper class then you can only utilize up to the Tier 3 weapons. Sometimes though, you'll receive drops for weapons on a Tier greater than you can currently use. Those weapons will still have the Radiation symbol next to them but they'll also show up as locked. Once you reach the appropriate level the weapon will become available.
Weapon's List
Grind spot:
1. You can get approximately 5-8 weapon drops by repeating Chapter 3, Mission 4. Your first big fight in this mission is against a horde of ants and spiders. Eventually 3 small Hectors arrive and will potentially all drop weapons when defeated. Sometimes only 1 will drop a weapon crate though; it's slightly luck based. After this fight you move onto the major boss battle. The trick here is to not kill her. An infinite amount of ants, spiders and wasps will spawn as you're attempting to defeat the boss. Kill as many wasps as you can as they almost always drop weapon crates.
2. Another method for grinding drops is to wait until you have a pesticide gun. Once this happens head to Mission 4 of Chapter 1 on Inferno (3 Hectors right at the beginning) and quickly take them out with the Pesticide gun. Repeat until you have them all. This may take a while but just be patient. You don't have to complete the level for the gun drops to save. Simply restart the level once you've killed the 3 Hectors.
There are 107 total drop-only weapons from "Elite" enemies/bosses. The weapons are random for the most part and will drop on any level of the game, but you only get up to Tier 4 while playing on Normal difficulty. I have had Tiers 2-6 drop on Hard so there is a bit of overlap there, with Tier 7 being reserved to Inferno (though any Tier can drop on Inferno, all the way down to T2). There is only one Tier 8 weapon for each armor, which is a gift for maxing the respective armor's level. Weapons in your inventory that came from a drop will have a biohazard symbol on the left side.
Playing Chapter 3, Mission 1 in Remix mode could give continual Metal Wasp spawns (need Metal Ants in the first spawned fight of the level). You can also kill the five Hectors at the very beginning of Chapter 3, Mission 2 or the three in the beginning of Chapter 1, Mission 4. These are probably the best grinding spots for weapons.
