I’m getting contradicting information from several players and sources and I’m hoping to clear my confusion.
I’ve been told Mythic Firefight is the best thing for exp.
I’ve been told to avoid Mythic Firefight and instead to play the yellow star Warzone or arena playlist.
I’ve been told to ignore yellow star playlists and mythic fire fight in its entirety and to instead farm Infection.
Could someone give me some clarity as to what the right answer is? Thanks!

As someone who is 152 and is in fact grinding a second account to 152 right now too I can confirm Mythic Firefight is hands down the best way to get XP. Your time per match to XP ratio is a lot more rewarding than any other game mode in the game.
You want to generally avoid Arena if you’re trying to get 152. The XP payouts per match are not worth your time.
Mythic Warzone Firefight is 100% the best way to get Xp. Although when playlists like Warzone Turbo and Assualt are out those are also insane on their xp payouts. Then there is also infection which has pretty good xp payout, but if your going for quickness to 152 grind mythic firefight.
One more for Mythic Firefight. You get the most XP and RP per minute played.
When double XP gets enabled or a featured playlist like WZ Turbo/Assault comes around, you can play those to get a lot of XP as well. During such events, the payouts are about the same as Mythic Firefight’s. Plus, it will be a nice change for you too.
Yup, going to add to the Mythic FF pile here. With Turbo and Assault I’m sure the payouts are comparable, but I personally have a more frustrating time with it. The more you can control, the more you have at your advantage for certain and quick xp. I suggest getting a consistent team together for Mythic and use everything in your arsenal to ensure consistent victories. In that way, you will get the most out of it.
Mythic FF gives you about 1,000 per minute. If you use gambit Spartan kills and play warzone assault AND score close to the top then you get extra xp. Earlier today I played assault and used my vehicle reqs in the first round of assault while defending and got a lot of vehicle kills and the game was like 5 or 6 minutes and I got 11,000 xp. I used to use reqs for mythic FF but now that I see that these “rare” gambit Spartan kills have a good payout I’ll now be saving all my reqs for warzone assault or any warzone. Be aware you will get plasma charged by angry Spartans!
Mythic awards more XP; however, it typically takes more time to complete.
Heroic doesn’t give as much XP but the match concludes faster.
The choice ultimately boils down to how fast can you end the match and which mode you prefer. Some do not like the difficulty of Mythic so they opt to choose heroic. If you want the best XP I will tell you a secret.
For the best XP payout you want to play mythic and deliberately lose the match at round 2 to 3. The reason being how XP is awarded is based on time played during the match, but the longer a match goes on for the smaller the increased payout gets. The bonus eventually becomes so insignificant that it’s practically nothing. If I recall correctly the ideal time to tap out is 5 minutes. The bonus for winning becomes redundant at the rate you will be earning XP with this method. Does this mean you should enter matches solo and sabotage the team you’re assigned to? Absolutely not. But if you would like to maximize your XP payout you should explain this method to others and bring them into your fireteam. If you’re all willing to fumble a match together there is no one around to complain otherwise.
When I was doing my 152 grind I tried to get people through looking for group, and that is a barren wasteland. You’d be better off recruiting here on Waypoint.
