Alright, so you wanna know how I cheesed my way to the top in UFC 5 with that XP boost? Buckle up, it’s a bit of a grind, but totally worth it if you wanna unlock everything fast.
First thing’s first, I bought that damn XP boost. Yeah, yeah, I know, microtransactions are the devil, but I ain’t got time to play 24/7. It was a limited-time thing, I think, so keep an eye out for when they pop up in the store again.
Now, the real trick is how you use it. Don’t just jump into any old fight. Here’s what I did:
- Career Mode: This is where I started. I figured, gotta build up my fighter anyway, right? Plus, the early fights are easy, meaning quick wins and more XP.
- Focus on Challenges: Career mode throws a bunch of challenges at you – “land 20 jabs,” “get 5 takedowns,” that kinda stuff. These give bonus XP ON TOP of what you get for winning the fight. With the boost active, it’s like hitting the jackpot.
- Knockouts > Decisions: Listen, ain’t nobody got time for a drawn-out decision. Go for the knockout. It’s faster and gives you a bigger chunk of XP. Plus, it’s way more satisfying.
- Custom Matches: Once my career fighter was leveled up a bit, I hopped into custom matches. Cranked up the difficulty on my opponent, lowered their health, and made the rounds super short. Quick KOs for maximum XP efficiency. Kind of cheap, I know, but hey, gotta grind!
- Online… Sometimes: I dabbled in online matches, but honestly, the XP payout wasn’t that great compared to the effort. Plus, you’re at the mercy of your opponent. If you’re good, go for it, but for pure XP farming, stick to offline.
I spent a solid weekend just grinding away, repeating the same fights, focusing on those challenges, and racking up the KOs. It got a little monotonous, but watching that XP bar zoom up was seriously addictive.
Did it work? Hell yeah! I unlocked a ton of fighters, moves, and customization options way faster than I would have otherwise. Was it the most “honorable” way to play? Maybe not. But did I have fun becoming a virtual UFC god? Absolutely.
So, there you have it. My semi-shady, but totally effective, UFC 5 XP boost strategy. Go forth and conquer… and maybe feel a little guilty about it later. 😉
