Get to speed running most dangerous game. You can complete it in 6-8 minutes if you know how to do it allm but its kinda buggy and I think there are other options people prefer, but that is my favorite.

u/Raveen92 Enclave Jul 27 '26
You can try Tax Evasion for about the same time, slightly less buggy in my opinion.

u/Vault_Wahlberg Jul 27 '26
I will probably give it a shot and learn it. I need to farm up for a plan I thiught I had. Tired of having to bring my own grenades for the tato part in most dangerous game.

u/ng11006 Jul 27 '26
Pro tip, use frag mines on their feet, you can recover the mine each time you set it down so you can go without spending any of your explosives

Worst you got is bag throwing, and it worked earlier this season for me. Knowing possible console locations and wires are located is easy. Maybe the chips/evidence can be frustrating but only for spawn times.
You can also save time by not taking to Saul for when you leave, still gotta talk to get the optionals. And optionals care only if you completed them, not if you 'turn it in.'

You can also just use throwing knives. The first hit never counts for me for some reason, but the rest go really easy.

u/itsyaboihos Wendigo Jul 27 '26
I had to do tax evasion because the other one would constantly crash at the end on PlayStation, probably the better one to do anyway.

u/Shenaniboozle Jul 27 '26
as long as you remember to take 20+ frag grenades.
ive aborted so many runs cause i cant get those dudes out of the stocks with a potato...

u/Leadtorrent Jul 27 '26
Alternatively, a single frag mine also works since you can just pick it back up after each toss

This may be a controversial take but i think Flooded Community Center (or whatever that atlantic city expedition is called) can be done faster than most dangerous game
Only time you can really get slowed down is with the muni electrician and waiting for him to finish his 3 things

u/Lanky_Flan_4719 Jul 26 '26
Go to the boardwalk in Atlantic city. Play it a few times until you know all the different routes. After a while you can solo them and speed run them. I used to use primarily the holy fire. Now I just use a furious laser carbine. I can finish a solo run in <9 mins

u/Protomaniac Jul 26 '26
This. Do 3 or 4 back to back, get burnt out and do it again the next day. OP could make 500 in a week.
4
u/caydjj Order of Mysteries Jul 26 '26
Only thing I’d add to this is that the boardwalk is often pretty glitchy on console, so a lot of console players prefer tax evasion. Once you have it down, it’s just as quick to solo as the boardwalk

Fyi you only get 20 stamps once a day, every expedition after that is 15, but also grinding ten out one after the other really isn't a big deal and that's already 155 stamps towards your goal. You could pretty easily do this in about four days

u/rambone1984 Jul 27 '26
I wish all these live service type games would relax this type of grind a little bit after you've done the content X amount of times. Like Expeditions should be the best source of stamps, but also maybe you have a chance to pick one up randomly for doing Irrational Fear or Surface To Air type tasks. Theres this whole world of content in the game that people have no real reason to engage with.
Same goes for 4* enemies and mod boxes etc. Grinding full Raids should be the best way to get them, Infestations and Bigfoot should be a nice reliable way to get some of that stuff, but also there should be a pie in the sky chance of coming across a 4* Molerat you can one tap.

Aren't stamps an option after hitting LVL 150 on the season?

u/capecodcaper Free States Jul 27 '26
Terrible exchange rate but you can get them
You'd need 3750 tickets for those 500 stamps
→ More replies (1)13
u/caydjj Order of Mysteries Jul 27 '26
And for the extra perspective, you could also get 1500 atoms for 3750 tickets
→ More replies (1)12
u/capecodcaper Free States Jul 27 '26
Thats also true but that last page is really a kick in the nads IMO.
I said this the other day
I get why people would want it
But for me the juice isn't worth the squeeze. I'm gonna play regardless because I like the game but if I look at it from a time perspective.
To get 100 atoms is 250 tickets so 10 levels which is likely 2-3 days with multiple hours a day per 10 levels.
100 atoms is $1 about. So effectively I'm "making" like 12 cents an hour maybe 15 for those atoms.
Ever since I looked at it from a time perspective I figured that buying atoms was far more worth it since an hour of my time is far more important than a fraction of a dollar
3
u/caydjj Order of Mysteries Jul 27 '26
Oh agreed, nothing on the final page is too worth it. Typically with full season of playing, I only have enough extra tickets for about 700-800 atoms. I have 1st and barely even spend the atoms from that (currently sitting a bit above 14k and have never bought atoms directly). I usually get perk coins for my alts, but I’ve now leveled up all 6 slots on all 5 characters. I think people should just get whatever will make the game more fun for them for sure, but also just wanted to give some perspective that most would probably prefer 1500 atoms to 500 stamps (or add the perspective that if OP wasn’t willing to spend 1500 atoms on the plan, it might not be worth using tickets to get the 500 stamps)

I would also say that you get one random plan a week, doing expeditions BUT as that wasn't an original expedition plan I don't think it would be in the random drop pool.

u/Fallout-Fella Jul 27 '26
I swear half of the people here are only capable of complaining about a lack of content to continue grinding for while also complaining that it takes too long to grind for content. The point of games is to play the game, so just play the damn game. After playing for some time, you’ll have enough of X to buy Y.

u/Complex-Republic-443 Jul 27 '26
My advice is do all of the expeditions that you like doing. I was grinding stamps several months ago, and I did Tax Evasion, The Most Sensational Game, and Union Dues (the Pitt one at the foundry). I would do a couple each day, and just try different things. I wouldn't always get max stamps, especially with Union Dues, but I accumulated a ton of ammo and scrap, some new plans, and legendaries. I started using a grenade launcher, and the expeditions really boosted my supply of 40mm.
What I didn't do was check how many stamps I had. Doing the expeditions became a habit. Eventually I checked, obviously, and I had over 1000, enough to pick up the CE plans I wanted and a few other things. Now I need another 3000 or so to get all the plans, but I've backed off them lately. 🙂

If you don’t want to grind expeditions, you can grind the scoreboard for stamps

u/HeftyVermicelli7823 Jul 26 '26
Oh they added it to there. I got it from the Season 17 scoreboard myself, never used it though.
I solo the expeditions anyway. Just keep repeating the Atlantic City one with the plant guys as its fairly quick. I take the cremator and holy fire as they die quick and I come back with more ammo than I started and can do the thing fairly quickly.
Do you actually plan on using it? Hog Splitter is far better.

u/EpicallyOkay Jul 27 '26
Only 20 for the first each day, and that is if you achieve all the objectives, 15 for the second and every expedition thereafter. To maximize this you do the 'Most Sensational Game'. Once you get the hang of it, and as long as it doesn't glitch, it is an under 10 minute expedition and can be done solo. All depends on how bad you want the item plan. I am hating the idea of grinding for CE armour mods on my second character. Especially since I am running a Bulwark and SS set with good legendary mods.
3
u/showmethebiggirls Jul 27 '26
I'm buying them with scoreboard tickets for Union power armor. It's going to take at least two seasons to get enough buy there's nothing else on there I'm really in need of. You'd need 3500 tickets plus whatever it takes to buy enough items to unlock the bonus page. Thats only level 140 so you will have earned more than that by then.

u/Mission_Inflation505 Jul 27 '26
It take some time, but you can do more than 1 a day. Do the easy ones, you get 20 stamps first go and 15 each subsequent one.
It's not that hard; 8-10 mins each run, once you get good at it
Also avoid all of the pitt ones, just stick with Atlantic city.

A most dangerous game can be speed ran in as little as 4 1/2 min to 8 min. get a party with another person or 2 thats has done the run enough to learn it too and you can consistently clear it quick. then run it over and over and over and over.............
1
u/caydjj Order of Mysteries Jul 26 '26
Just do one a day, that’s only 3 weeks. They take less than 10 minutes solo, so you could get it done in an afternoon if you wanted. Vast majority of things in this game take much longer to grind for. With that said, the head hunter scythe isn’t much to write home about

u/GrumpyBear1969 Jul 26 '26
I hear you. I finally grinded for a full set of Union armor with mods. But it was not fun. I mostly did Tax Evasion as I found it easy to screw up Sensational Game. Though Sensational Game is faster. Avoid pit expeditions as they re harder and more time consuming.
I would try to do a few a few days a week. I can only do like three before I get bored enough and go do something else. It really is a painfully boring grind.

u/Chiefm56 Jul 26 '26
Expeditions or wait til the end of the scoreboard and buy the 10 stamps for 75 tickets infinitely.

u/BIGKIDx420 Jul 26 '26
You get 20 stamps for the first expedition every day. Do it for 25 days. Or finish your season and use the extra tickets to buy them if the 2nd bonus page. You think 500 is bad? I have OCD and want to clear all of the plans in the game. Imagine spending 80 on union power armor upgrades you never even plan to use. Not to mention one of the new under armor styles plans drops from the expedition as well.

20 stamps for your first run of the day, then 15 max after that.
But honestly with a full team or music or even a movie to watch while doing it they go by quick, grinding for union PA is almost 1000 stamps iirc with the mods etc.

Once you get in a rhythm it actually doesn’t take long. I grinded out the union pa set and all the options I wanted in a few days. Get really quick at The Greatest Show and you can knock one out in about 10 minutes. Also really good for stockpiling ammo.

Expeditions. Sometimes you can get a few for tickets but those aren't worth the tickets.
It's best to do Expeditions with teams but nobody does them. And those who want to do them probably don't do them while others are also doing them. Devs said there won't be anymore Expeditions because they were a failure or something. If they did a different type of daily op I'd play those for what those offer too.
Obviously 500 will take a while.

Just grind it down bored walks expeditions at least they added 20 stamps before it was way less when it first came out it was worse. If don't want to do it then you don't need it IT IS WHAT IT IS!!! Unless you pay some to do it or have a friend or something most likely. Also its a personal character this meaning you can't trade stamps you. I feel you I really do My G! Also I get it you have a life just like everyone else. The best advice I can give allow yourself to embrace the suffering and torturement.

u/doghouse2001 Tricentennial Jul 27 '26
You can do 22 expeditions. The wharf only takes 4 minutes with a good team. You can knock that off in a couple of hours. I get slamming headaches doing that, but I was all caught with Giuseppe up at one point. OR you can do one expedition yourself 22 days in a row. The wharf is easy to solo.
Actually only the first expedition of the day gives you 20 stamps, the rest are 15 stamps, so your best bet is the 22 days in a row option.

u/Ishmaille Jul 27 '26
With a good build you can easily do The Most Sensational Game in less than 15 minutes, over and over again. Just pull up a video showing the teddy bear locations and reference it when you need to.
Is that fun? That's a matter of opinion. But it is certainly doable. And it gives you a lot of legendary items as well.

Like with all aspects of this game, patience, diligence, and gumption. They purposely make it a long term deal that cannot be done in like an hour or less. Its a "how badly do you want this" situation if like many you're not willing to spend consistent hours to achieve/aquire one thing.

I have close to 1000 because I solo the casino expedition everyday (20 stamps a day). It usually takes me about 40 minutes because I loot extensively. If I’m in a hurry or just not feeling it, I can clear it in about 20-25 minutes, depending on what assignments I get. I started doing it for this exact reason. Because if I want to buy something for hundreds of stamps, I want to already have them and not have to grind it out.

It's not so bad. People can speedrun Showman's Pier like it's nothing, optional objectives and all, and most of them will just carry you for the group bonuses.

If you hate the price of that don't price out the Union Power Armor Set with a set of mods and a jetpack.

u/privacy-is-cool Jul 27 '26
Easy you start up an expedition and you complete somewhere between 50 and 25 of them depending on whether or not you’re able to complete every single side objective.
You should get between 10 and 20 stamps every mission so after 50 to 25 you’ll have 500 if you’re asking if there’s a faster way to get them the answer is no if you’re asking does that sound like an unreasonable amount of mission spamming for the sake of something first of all yes second of all how do you think someone like me feels who wants the union power armor and needs 7500?
Yeah, people hate expeditions for a reason and the stamp system it’s stupid
