This guide is a map that shows the most common grinding locations for earning XP (for leveling) and earning armor and weapon points to spend in your skill trees. The XP you receive for killing these enemies depends on which level you are so I cannot list how much XP each type of enemy gives.

There is an anti “power-leveling” restriction that prevents you from earning armor and weapon points when killing enemies that are 4 or more levels lower than yours. So make sure that when you want to earn weapon or armor points you are killing enemies that are maximum 3 levels lower than you are.

• 1 Acids (level 8), Sentinels (level 9) & Miners (level 10)
  
• 2 Observers (level 13), Soldiers (level 12) & Digger Queen (level 13)
  
• 3 Raiders (level 16) & Newbie Raiders (level 15)
  
• 4 Young Hounds (level 13)
  
• 5 Hounds (level 16), Female Hounds (level 14) & Infected Hound (level 18)
  
• 6 Locusts Builders (level 24)
  
• 7 Daredevils (level 21) & Sam Polonaise (level 23)
  
• 8 Locusts Warriors (level 24)
  
• 9 Krengs (level 36)
  
• 10 Reeking Hounds (level 20)
  
• 11 Disciples (level 28)
  
• 12 Defectors (level 24) & Knuckleduster (level 25)
  
• 13 Alpha Hounds (level 17) & Reeker Hounds (level 20)
  
• 14 Scavengers (level 21)
  
• 15 Alpha Trogs (level 30) & Trogs (level 28)

If you are grinding at location 1 and have reached level 14 you can still earn XP there but no longer armor or weapon points. That’s why it would be a good idea to move on to location 2 and start grinding there so you can also earn armor and weapon points again.
