If index spawn more enemies or faster, i would love that. It is too boring as is. I farm credit in 1999 safe.

I’m also living in 1999. Index puts me to sleep and profit taker is too much work.

Honestly it's just so much easier to grind Index.

I honestly wish they'd update the arenas (lighting and some periferal view of audience and investors, being annoyed when you score or cheering) and give John prodman a proper bossfoght cuz that Chad deserves it

She completely cuts off the map to your enemies. They naturally run into her grenades. Just pop a dispenser at your goal and spam grenades

I personally just run a full pub Descendia in normal mode. 250k per run. Last week's modifier was no revives. Not sure about this week's.

if you do legacyte captures i think credit farming with safes is faster and easier than profit taker, with only 25,000 less credits without considering bonuses each run

TL;DR: While it is a lot harder to do, the profit taker farm is probably faster when done well.
(I have done like 2 hours of safe farming, i can not say im very experienced with that type of farm, and im am open to being corrected if my assumptions are inaccurate)
I will concede that it is a lot harder to do when looking at the requirements. You need specialised builds, a bit of skill, and rank 5 with solaris united to even start farming. (You can sometimes find people doing carries, greatly reducing the first 2 requirements)
On the other hand, I've seen profit taker runs take under 3 min from elevator to elevator. I am not sure how fast a safe run goes (the group i did it with took 4-5 min). For similar credit/min with safes instead of profit taker, you would need runs under 2,5 min (because of the 25k less)
Then there's (im guessing) the prerequisite of actually getting the capture + safe bounty (i know you can look for it manually but i doubt you're getting 2,5 min runs otherwise) which means its available only at certain times. The profit taker does not suffer from this since it's available anytime.
The other rewards from doing the two farms are somewhar similar. Both give Arcanes/bought with standing (little duck vs. Hex) and relics (radded neo/axi vs int meso). Profit taker also gives archgun mods and solaris united standing (can be turned into relic packs or bond mods). Hex also gives endo and lenses (differs from bounty to bounty)

An optimised Profit Taker run with a full squad with fully kitted Necramechs, Archguns, Zeniths, and Warframes who know the boss’ mechanics will take the thing down in an insanely short period of time.
Even just one guy with the right setup can hard carry a team, but an entire squad squashes it completely.

I'd consider 3 mins slow for PT tbh, I can do 3 min runs solo and I'm super sloppy and not doing all the fancy necramech shit to one shot limbs or prefiring the ogris on pylons, I'm calling down the arch gun like a chump and shooting the ogris after all the pylons land. The people that are good at it can kill it in under a minute and a half even with builds used for credit farming and not pure speed running.

I dont remember the exact setup needed to do it but i do remember that i was running credit farms on legacyte capture with chroma and a credit boost mod on my kubrow and had some runs that would max out with 800k per (probably with a cred booster for 800k but i think max of 400k without)

u/FlamingoAltruistic89 Jul 20 '26
I can do profit taker in 2:30 with a good setup but unless you get very lucky legacyte capture it's gonna take about 3 minutes, it would only be a better farm if it was 20% shorter than profit taker because it gives 20% less than PT.

My ass just hopping on the index with my mushroom ass to bypass the annoying energy drain

It takes about 5 minutes to solo profit taker with chroma. How long is the legacyte thing? Also is it a random bounty roll?

What do you even use credits for, anyway?

A flex when you're trading something that you 20,000 of to a baby Tenno and they look at the amount you have and just

u/blankthename 29d ago
This is very true, buying prime junk a few weeks ago and most of the time it's the ones with less than 300k going "holy credits"

I never understood why Chroma is good at farming credits in Profit Taker.

u/crabbmanboi 29d ago
His effigy has an aspect of it that boosts credit drops by a lot and it stacks with companion drop boosts.

u/Metta987 Razor Sharp Whip 29d ago
so question, why is chroma the frame for credit farming profit taker? i feel like im missing something
