🔶 FASTEST WINTER KEY FARMING METHOD
Community discovered optimal farming technique that bypasses standard spawn timers.
Setup:
Set world difficulty to Normal (key drop rates identical across all difficulties)
Farm Krampus minion squads at known spawn locations until bounty drops
Krampus bounty locks to world difficulty when picked up
The Reset Method:
Start Krampus bounty in Downtown East
Clear all minion enemies across bounty areas (each drops keys)
Do NOT kill Krampus at final location
Deploy Revive Hive, then wipe intentionally
Respawn at nearby control point
Bounty remains active and can be restarted immediately
Efficiency:
Bypasses 10-minute open-world spawn cooldown
Farms on easy difficulty for speed
Minions drop Winter Keys every run
Can be repeated endlessly until desired key count reached
Resource Requirements:
Minimum 55 Winter Keys recommended (25 for Apparel Event, 30 for all community patches)
Additional keys provide more chances at Eagle Bearer, Regulus, and other high-value exotics
