Death Stranding - Anti BT Handgun Lvl 2 vs 3 BT Lions ( Chiral Crystal Farming )

This is a new take on one of my first videos (    • Death Stranding - Farming Chiral Crys...   ). Back then I was using the shotgun against the catchers but at the suggestion of one of my viewers I'm now using the Level 2 Anti-BT Handgun.
Play on Very Hard difficulty setting and get 5000 crystals per round, about 9-10 minutes from start of one round til start of next, ~30,000 crystals/hr of farming.

I chose the Old Volcano Observatory site for farming as you can simply stay on that rock outcrop and take on all 3 lions without having to slog through the tar as in other locations. After each round, I'll put my empty weapons in the private locker of a nearby safehouse and grab fresh weapons and blood bags from the same private locker. Wait between 3 and 4 minutes and the BT's will respawn and off you go again for another 5000 crystals. Repeat until you have whatever amount of crystals you desire (up to 99,999 max).

While rocket launchers are effective, you can only use them once, a major drain on materials to fabricate new ones for each round. Use refillable weapons such as rifles, shotguns, & grenade launchers, etc. so you can refill your empties in a private room rather than recycling and fabricating new ones.

You don't need to go the private room to refill after each round either, fabricate enough weapons to last multiple rounds and you can refill them all with just one trip to the private room (saves on deterioration of roads/structures as each trip to a private room adds about 30 minutes worth of timefall degredation to them). Here's how I refill over 200 shottys with just one trip to the private room :    • Death Stranding - Replenish Ammo In A...  

If you do happen to run out of ammo during a boss fight, don't forget to "callout" and help will soon arrive (online mode only).    • Death Stranding - Use Callout If Caug...
