Decent levelling areas for lower levelled characters?

[Hero2Zero]

So, I started playing a couple of days ago, it's pretty awesome being able to play PSU in a good capacity again after all these years but anyway.

 

I'm playing a Beast Hunter, at first levelling didn't seem that much of a hassle but now that I've hit level 15 and I'm struggling to find missions that I can get through without getting slapped around, hitting 0s on enemies and having to use up all my healing items to survive.

Are there any missions that I can do that would be easier for me to handle?

 

I'm kinda starting to run out of Meseta from dying and having to restock on supplies.

Hey Hero, 

I know it's great having PSU back in some capacity! 

I started playing just over a week ago during the Protectors event mission so levelling was good there, now at the mercy of normal missions. 

I found that melee/hunter classes are so difficult for soloing at lower levels. I tried lots on Neudaiz and Parum and it was quite tough. 

Hopefully somebody whose been on clementine longer can offer more solid advice but I'd suggest being a ranger, stick with shotguns, launchers (b rank koltova) and twin handguns and you could probably survive by strafing, stuff like Plains Overlord on the highest you can probably run.

Seems like guns and tech are what I see most people using to muller content. I play protranser as I used to love it and find I barely ever pull melee out now :(

Running in groups is easiest though having somebody else for mobs to target and there are always people at Plains overlord, military subway that I've seen. Suggest joining random parties is probably best way to level without bankrupting yourself!

Hope you find some semblance of help in that Good luck!

The cost of consumables is pretty punishing on non-tech classes, especially early game. What I did to offset the cost is to use HP Steal weapons a lot (Photon Claw, Chainsawd, etc), though this probably isn't an option until you're out of Hunter and into a better class. I also remember storing excess trimates (gained while running easy missions) into my share box to use on harder missions. Good times.

I dunno if I'd advise just giving up on striking like Sedonx says (it can be a lot of fun if you're willing to stick with it and suffer through needing a different weapon for each element), but at least you should definitely get acquainted with Handguns (and or Twin Handguns depending on type), they're awfully useful even for striking characters. Zeroes are probably just going to be a fact of life as a low level Beast, not much to suggest there other than grabbing an +accuracy unit as soon as you can. See if you can afford a Solid / Knight or Tero / Hit or something from player shops.

I did Sleeping Warriors a fair amount as a low level striking character (watch out for the Svaltus at the end - I used Rising Strike to keep it on the back foot), though I'd also second Plains Overlord, it's just a good mission for exp and type exp in general. Once you're strong enough, you can move up to Unsafe Passage B.
