Arcs/Missions good for farming Fake Nems?

I know its been asked before, but what arcs or missions should I seek out to farm Fake Nemeses to get the Unveiler badge?

The best place is usually considered to be Firebase Zulu, rather than missions. But see this post by Snowglobe, as well as the rest of the thread. I don't believe the mission listed is available through Ouro, though.

Thanks.

I did it in Peregrine, myself, down by the docks. I've heard that they're more plentiful in FBZ, but I would imagine you're traveling larger distances there.

There's some FBZ islands where you can just run a circuit and get them pretty quickly. They seem to spawn more reliably than in PI where you clear a spawn just to get more Warhulks or Min/Lt groups.

One of the biggest FBZ advantages is less competition with people who refuse to understand that it goes faster for everyone to just group rather than race to rush in first and grab them all yourself.

One of the islands in FBZ has about 8 groups of Nemesis that you can circuit. Most of the time they had two Fakes per mob. If you partner with someone that can hit another island at the same time, you can get the badge a lot quicker than you can around the docks in Peregrine, and once you find the right island, you don't have to leave it.

You can also get Paragon Protectors out there, which is a double bonus.


Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.

If you want to do arcs, the Sara Moore TF is pretty much all Nemesis, all the time. The downside is that it is a Shadow Shard TF, with all that implies.

The entire Shadow Shard is a Hazard Zone. As such, the spawns will always be scaled for large teams, meaning that it's common to see spawns with 1-3 bosses each in them. And as others have said, there's a few islands large enough that you can run circles around them, and by the time you get back to the start, the first groups will have respawned.

Peregrine Island is a standard zone, meaning that spawn size is based on the number of players in the area (they don't have to be teamed). This makes it so that a solo character can spend hours in PI and get only a couple Fakes, or could get results as quickly as in the Shard, if there's other people around.

On large teams, both are roughly equal: You'll be finding 1-3 bosses in each group, and the team can spread out, getting the whole team credit at an accelerated rate.

I used to hunt them in PI. Most recently though, I got the badge on a character without setting out to get it just by running tips every chance I had; and the RWZ arcs. There's a couple missions in the RWZ that can have a group of up to 8 fakes as an objective (depending on difficulty or team size).

Point Sierra was my personal choice - you get Overseers, PPs, and Fake Nems all in clumps on the same island. I just did laps until I got them all.

I use the hero tip mission Miss Thystle's Plea (in the level 40-50 range) set to x8 with bosses turned off. All of the Fake Nems that are spawned will be downgraded to Lieutenants but still count towards the badge. Makes it so much easier/faster to kill 'em before they can hide in their Personal Force Field.
