How you can reach easy Level 100
By cac1qu3
In this guide I am describing how you can easily reach level 100. A gameplay video shows you my strategy and how I made more than 50.000 points and a TOP 10 HIGHSCORE entry.

Mech setup
You will need play which Lazarus (the initial mech) which allows you the following setup:

  • 4 evo weapons
  • 2 side weapons
  • 2 main weapons
  • 3 support tools



The special feature of the Lazarus mech is an emergency shield: When health points hits zero , an emergency shield is generated to protect the mech for 3 seconds and restores 50 health points.

You don't need additional emergy shield from you armory, but if you have it already you can play more relaxed ;-)
Weapon setup
Your main strategy is to pickup the most value of xp (the blue and yellow "coins" when an enemy died). You need to setup an short range build. My weapon setup recommandation is the following:

4x evo weapons



You will fill all slots with Cosmic Guardian.

2x Side weapons



Here you will install Auto Turret.

2xMain weapons



Since you have only one more main weapon a second machine gun is fine.

3x support





Instead of the "damage support tool" you can maybe use the "AI core tool" and it should work too. Pneumatics is absolutely necessary and the gravity-retractor makes it more easier.

What else you need?

Additional I recommend the following already upgraded:




Both should affect your points. If you don't have max level upgraded in the recommendations you should also reach level 100, but your score won't be a high score ;-)

To avoid any surprises by leveling you should have these additional tools, which allows you to re-roll or skip if the "shop" offers you something else than the stuff above:

Strategy for Level 100 and TOP high score
You main aim is to get you mech fast and with the gravity tool. When you have the possibilty to pick a cosmic guardian you should use this a prefered option. Try to get as fast as possible a level 10 cosmic guardian for leveling up to evolution. When you have your 4 x evolution cosmic guardians gameplay should be easy.

When the end boss (3 big guys) spawns you should avoid to kill them and have try kill as much as possible regular mobs. When you are lucky you can clean the complete field!

In the following video I show the gameplay of all the described strategy where I made a TOP 10 entry in Grasslands with the first try:


Have fun watching!



I hope you like this guide and maybe we can find some better setups for max xp value :-)
Thanks for feedback!

Project Lazarus has a fast development process. When I made this guide and video it was something like a problem for people for getting rank 100 in early alpha v2.

I made several videos the explain concepts or weapon ideas of the game, also Thor. Check out on my tiny channel if you like.

I was doing experiments with Chemtank and it's working, but I didn't found a build which could be a reasonble highscore entry. At the moment I am waiting for an official Alpha v3 release :)

It is an interesting concept. I like Lazarus a whole lot more than I used to.
What do you think of Thors and Chemtanks.. I know their expensive, but Dakka they lay down.
Armory's level 5 Tesla coil is 88K? At least they know it.. Chemtank wasn't cheap either but nothing as bad as that.

I would try a gas cloud, they do a lot of work. Gosh i need to try 4 Thors with multiple attack speed.. I bet i could just go AFK

I'd just like to say thank you very much for this. I took your lessons to heart, then adapted them slightly for the Titus mech. I now have a solid Glacier score, thanks to your guide. I think it's currently the highest legit score. Number 1 slot is 128,000 or so. Unreal. Credit where it's due, thank you so much for the advice.

QOL Tip: Fill the "first" installations of the Cosmic Guardian "backwards" (as in from right to left, then you can "autofill" them and they grow from outside to inside.

that's it - regens 2 AP per hit, tesla had a damage buff recently too. With 1x damage and 1x fire rate hits 600+ a pop 8 times per second with a 0.2 reload time and regens your AP each hit.

"New Thor" - You mean the updated one from version 2.13?
SubjectThrone31 9 Jul, 2022 @ 5:32am 
New Thor is also a super easy 100+ clear on hyper modes. 4x Thor, 1x fire rate, 1x damage. Side weapons don't matter, main weapon doesn't matter, 1x enhancement slot pick whatever.

Thanks for your feedback, mate. I think you can't reach level 100 without hyper mode. I got that end boss always latest around level 70 :WololoDE:

Nice guide :)

1 Remark though
You should make it clear in your text that you are talking about doing this in hyper mode (as made clear in your last picture but still).


Have a nice thumbs up :cozybethesda:
