Killing 287 Daikiba for the Iron Challenge with the TT Powerfist Castorian EnKnuckles-A close to Port Atlantis on Calypso

Daikiba

I finally finished my goal to hunt Daikiba with every TT weapon. The last hunt today was with Castorian EnKnuckles-A. I did all hunts with all TT weapons maxed on damage, but not on hit (only opalo is maxed at both). I will redo them when I max all TT weapons on both damage and hit.
My next goal is to max Breer M4a (L) at Ranged Laser (Dmg): 15 and the goal after that is to unlock the hidden skill Ranged Damage Assessment at Ranged Laser (Dmg): 18.
Today I killed 287 Daikiba. I was at 2880/5000 that morning and after that hunt I was at 3167/5000. Got 86.36% TT return and two Daikiba skulls.

Killing 615 Daikiba for the Iron Challenge with SGA Sollomate Opalo close to Port Atlantis on Calypso

Daikiba

After some hard thinking AxeMurderer decided to complete the Iron Challenge missions, starting with the Daikiba Mission. He was at 565/5000 that morning and after that hunt he was at 1180/5000. He unequipped all his armor and got his fancy pants, shirt, shoes and gullaldr shades. That way he will minimize the armor decay and gain some Paramedic skills with his crafted medical kit.
He grabbed his Sollomate Opalo, SGA Edition, tier 1.6 and 1 000 000 Medium Weapon Cells for 100 PED enough to make 5000 shots. With so much ammunitions he was able to hunt Daikiba for 4 hours. He killed 615 Daikiba and got really good return. When he got back at the South Swamp Camp he made some calculations:
To kill all 16600 Daikiba needed for completion of all Daikiba Iron Challenges it will take 108 hours of hunting them close to South Swamp Camp. And he will need ammunition for 2700 PEDs. If the average return rate is 90%, he will loose 270 PEDs hunting them and he will gain a lot of skills. Also they loot Animal Muscle Oil and he need a lot of it for the crafting of Simple I Conductors.
Armed with that knowledge AxeMurderer was determined to complete the Iron Challenges using all kind of weapons. For Daikiba he will use the other TT weapons like: M2100; Castorian Survival EnBlade-A; Castorian Combat EnBlade-A; Castorian EnKnuckles-A.

Loot from Daikiba

Hunting Daikiba with Riker UL1 (L) close to Twin Peaks on Calypso

Daikiba

Note to self: Never hunt Daikiba again.
I found outpost close to Twin Peaks full with Daikiba and excellent to advance in the Daikiba Iron challenge.
I used my Riker UL1 (L) for the big ones and my Opalo SGA for the small ones.
Vivo T10 (L) for the most economical healing and some skill increase bonus.
But the loot was very very bad.
Don't hunt Daikiba folks.

Hunting Daikiba with First Gen Electric Attack Chip II close to Port Atlantis on Calypso

Daikiba

After playing with the Cryogenic Chips I decided to try the Electric Chips. Armed with First Gen Electric Attack Chip II I started killing Daikiba, just to get some skills and to advance in my Daikiba mission. I still don't have the skills to use it on maximum, but it is hard to find low level Electric Attack Chips and I decided to skill with this one. I use Emik S30 (L) just for the final shot so I don't waste too much ammo with the chip. I am not skilled enough to use it too, but it's good way to get some skills in Ranged BLP. I changed some of my armor parts with the Gremlin armor which offers very good protection against most creatures. So I was more than prepared to go there alone. And the loot was not bad - almost on profit. The decay was too much. Probably I used too expensive armor and MindForce implant.

Hunting Daikiba and Cornundacauda with Cryogenic Attack Chip I at Port Atlantis and Orthos West Mound on Calypso

Daikiba

This is a hunt before Daikiba were changed to Shinkiba.

This time I decided to try hunting with MindForce chip. I picked up small Cryogenic Attack Chip I (L) and went for some Daikibas just to skill up. I knew the loot from Daikibas is not good and my skills in Cryogenic Attack are not enough even for this chip, so I was prepared to loose peds here. The chip does almost the same damage as my opalo, but the fire rate is amost half. The things will improve a lot when I max it up. But one thing is sure. Hunting with chip looks better then hunting with gun. Later I switched to some Cornundacaudas and got some armor from them. Again I was surprised at the good loot that day. Today I bought teleportation chip II which allows me to jump from Port Atlantis Mall to that Daikiba valley with just one jump and will be useful in hunts at distance from the revival.
