Losing Legendary FF vs. winning Heroic FF

Does anyone know which one gets you more XP? I don’t need numbers, so relative terms are fine. The reason I ask is because win rates in Heroic tend to be much higher whereas the payouts in Legendary are higher. So I’m trying to figure out if the XP gained for winning Heroic amounts to about the same for Legendary match which lasts the same amount of time but ends in defeat.

If you want to know it’s best to just play them and track what you get. Kinda like I did with XP for heroic warzone firefight vs soical arena… Time wise and XP awarded they were pretty close to the same. But my best advice is just play what you enjoy… That should be #1. It was already tweeted that this token for getting to SR152 in Infinite won’t be much so I hope most that are grinding it out enjoy H5.

But one subject as far as which would pay more XP it is probably a tough call. What round in legendary did the game end? What was your performance? Vs a win and what was your performance for the heroic game…were any boost or jackpots used? A lot of factors can go into XP awarded.

I’m not planning on grinding to 152, but it’s a passive goal. I played and enjoyed Legendary the most when I was grinding REQ points, but Heroic is highly enjoyable too. I know it practically doesn’t matter all that much which one I play since the numbers seem similar from what I’ve observed, but I’m curious nonetheless about the XP amounts for the sake of knowing. Realistically, I’ll end up playing whatever I’m in the mood for regardless of the answer.

As for the factors you mentioned, I’m asking with all those factors held constant. So, for instance, no boosts and same final position. The only difference is what’s in the title, ie., the Heroic match ends in a victory (which would give a bit of bonus XP) and the Legendary match ends in defeat. So, in other words, I’m asking how much XP per minute does a successful 15-minute match of Heroic FF award vs. an unsuccessful 10-minute or so match of Legendary, for example (time values are arbitrary).

They give good break downs of how the XP is awarded after games in your stats. Play a handful and test it out. I may try it out tomorrow if I get a chance. I am like 1.3 million XP from SR151. But I haven’t touched legendary firefight in well over a year.

Well here is what I experienced…

Heroic warzone firefight my team won, I placed 2nd, got 10645xp, broken down as follows,
Completion=506
player rank=1919 boost=5969(uncommon XP jackpot), speed XP bonus=1350, and completion XP bonus= 675…

Legendary firefight loss, we lost in the fourth round, 3/5 complete, I placed 1st and got a total of 8091xp…
Completion=563
Player rank=2354
Boost=4500(rare XP boost)
Speed XP bonus=0
Completion XP bonus=675

So I would say a win in heroic warzone firefight can get you more XP than a loss in legendary warzone firefight. Even taking the boost points away I gained more in the heroic because of the speed bonus and a bit more completion bonus.

This is great, especially the listed XP breakdown. Thank you :slight_smile:

I also realized I could have looked at my game history for some numbers. I did so and my total XP numbers came out to be about the same as yours.

Nice breakdown!

Here’s a link to a post I made with some information for XP in Heroic Firefight. This was during Double XP, but boosts are unaffected by XP. So I think you can divide the other numbers in half. I’m 95% sure we did win this game.

heroic ff is the best way to get xp.

This is the standard line for grinding as fast as possible, but to avoid feeling like a grind you should just play what you like most.

yeah, unless you want to get 152 fast… wz used to be the best method with quick coring (thats how i got my 152) but ff is the best way to get it now

Definitely just play what you like and use your XP boost and jackpots as much as possible. But if you don’t mind grinding heroic warzone firefight is the best one to grind IMO. One tip I have for heroic warzone firefight is to save and use those random weapon and vehicle reqs. It makes it a bit less repetitive than just calling in the same reqs (usually a tank for most) all the time.

Well what you expect from legendary Warzone
