X-Force (Deadpool)

Introduction

Epic Quests are sets of story-based missions that allow you to build up characters as you progress through a list of challenges.

The X-Force Epic Quest follows the story of Deadpool and the X-Force.

Like the Rise of the X-Men (Wolverine) Epic Quest before it, this Quest only contains Mutant characters, and includes a Deluxe Pack and second Native Tier-2 (Stryfe) that requires other quest-related characters to be built up.

  • Basics
    Characters

    Below are the characters involved in the Epic Quest. This Epic Quest was the first to incorporate characters from previous updates (Colossus, Cable).

    All the below characters are Mutants, so Biometric Selectors do not work on them. X-Gene Selectors do, but those are much rarer.

    The Native Tier-2s (Deadpool, Cable, Stryfe) require Phoenix Feathers and M'Kraan Crystals to build up, not Black Anti-Matter and Norn Stones of Chaos.

    Deadpool
    Deadpool

    The protagonist of the Epic Quest. As a Native Tier-2, he will gradually be built up to Level 60 as the Quest progresses.

    Fantomex
    Fantomex

    A free, farmable character, who can be obtained from X-Gene Selectors.
    He can also be farmed from the "Messy Friends" missions that unlock as you progress.

    Domino
    Domino

    A free, farmable character, who can be obtained from X-Gene Selectors.
    She can also be farmed from the "Messy Friends" missions that unlock as you progress.

    Colossus
    Colossus

    A Premium, semi-paywall character who can only be selected from the "20 X-Genes Daily" subscription.
    As the "Shifter" of this Epic Quest, he can be farmed at up to 8 X-Genes a day (elaborated on in the Missions section).
    Rank Up Tickets & Tier-2 Tickets can be used to speed up the process if you wish to rush through this Quest.

    Cable
    Cable

    Native Tier-2 character that is unlocked by running his World Boss mission, and ranked up as a regular-cost Mutant Native Tier-2.
    He is not required for the main Quest progression itself, but is required at Level 60 to unlock Stryfe.

    Psylocke
    Psylocke

    The Deluxe Pack character, who can only be unlocked by purchasing the Deluxe Pack for 6600 Crystals.
    She is unlocked at 6 Stars upon purchase, and additional X-Genes are given as Deluxe Rewards and Deluxe Mission drops.

    Stryfe
    Stryfe

    The Ultimate Native Tier-2, who can only be unlocked by upgrading the prerequisite characters to Tier-2 and Level 60.
    He is unlocked at 1 Star once this is done.

    Deluxe Pack
    6 Star Psylocke
    6 Star Psylocke

    Instantly unlocked when purchasing the Deluxe Pack.

    Deluxe Mission (Beginning of the Chaos)
    Deluxe Mission (Beginning of the Chaos)

    Instantly unlocked when purchasing the Deluxe Pack.

    Deluxe Packs are a feature of every Epic Quest except the Doctor Strange one (and a slight exception for the Fate of Mankind / Eternals Epic Quest, which features two Deluxe Packs). Deluxe Packs can be purchased with Crystals (6600 of them in this case), and unlock an exclusive character who cannot be otherwise acquired, and an exclusive mission that drops valuable rewards.

    Deluxe Packs are generally viewed as solid investments. Even if the character that is unlocked gets power creeped, the mission stays unlocked for you to keep farming materials at a higher rate. Mutant materials, which drop from this Deluxe Pack, are useful throughout all stages of the game - both for building mutants and for recipes in the Crafting Lab.

    The exclusive character for this Deluxe Pack is Psylocke, who gets unlocked at 6 Stars immediately after purchasing it. To get her to Tier-2, you can use a combination of the X-Genes given as "Deluxe Rewards" in the Epic Quest progression, and farmable X-Genes from the unlockable mission rewards at about 20/day.

    Deluxe Rewards

    Deluxe Rewards are additional rewards given at each stage of the Epic Quest after a Deluxe Pack is purchased. These can be claimed retroactively, so you can go back to missions already completed and collected the Deluxe Rewards - there is no penalty for progressing far in the Epic Quest before buying it. The total Deluxe Rewards are listed below.

    400 Psylocke X-Genes
    400 Psylocke X-Genes

    Deluxe Rewards gained from progressing in the Epic Quest.
    This is more than enough to get her to Tier-2, with the average cost to upgrade gears to 20 being 166 X-Genes.

    630 M'Kraan Shards
    630 M'Kraan Shards

    Deluxe Rewards gained from progressing in the Epic Quest.
    Enough to reach full Mastery for Psylocke.

    1500 Crystals
    1500 Crystals

    Deluxe Rewards gained from progressing in the Epic Quest.
    A decent "cashback", putting the net price of the Deluxe Pack at 5100 Crystals.

    3,000,000 Gold
    3,000,000 Gold

    Deluxe Rewards gained from progressing in the Epic Quest.

    The Clone of Cable
    Stryfe
    Stryfe

    "The Clone of Cable" allows you to unlock a 1 Star Stryfe once you reach Lv.60 and Tier-2 with the 6 listed characters (Deadpool, Domino, Psylocke, Cable, Fantomex and Colossus). You will then have to build up Stryfe manually as a double-cost Native Tier-2.

    Note that Psylocke is required, so you can consider Stryfe to also be locked behind the Deluxe Pack's 6600 Crystal cost.

    Requirements

    These are the characters required, and the materials needed, to complete the Epic Quest.

  • Unlockable Missions

    Listed below are all the playable missions that are unlocked during the Epic Quest, and their rewards (excluding S.H.I.E.L.D. Archive drops).

    Messy Friends
    Aw, man. This guy?
    Aw, man. This guy?
    Domino Falls
    Domino Falls

    These missions drop at least 1 X-Gene per run, with a decent chance of a bonus one. Each mission has an individual limit of 10 X-Gene runs per day (but a single run that drops 2 X-Genes only counts as 1 X-Gene run).

    The Energy cost of these missions is low (3 Energy with Stage 1 Boost Points, 4 Energy without), making them a decent way to farm Uniform XP while acquiring X-Genes.

    Stupid X-Men
    Chrome-Plated Comrade
    Chrome-Plated Comrade
    Psy-Locked Out
    Psy-Locked Out

    These missions might look like they drop a lot of stuff, but they're actually pretty bad. The only guaranteed drop is a single M'Kraan Shard, most of the time you only get one of the other drops.

    The main purpose of these missions is to slow farm Colossus X-Genes through Shifters. Each time a Shifter appears at the start of a mission, you will receive a Colossus X-Gene as a mission reward (Fantomex is the Shifter in Chrome-Plated Comrade, but a Colossus X-Gene still drops).

    The issue is that the Shifter only appears about one-third of the time, and only when playing the mission manually. Auto Repeat is fine, but skipping it with "Clear" will never give Shifters and thus no X-Genes.

    You can guarantee a Shifter drop by force closing the mission if you enter and no Shifter appears - this doesn't use up any resources and allows you to try again once you restart. With a 1-in-3 chance of a Shifter appearing, you're expecting to force close about 12 times a day for all 6 X-Genes. Very tedious but it is an option.

    The Big Twin
    Cutting Cable
    Cutting Cable
    Ending the Stryfe
    Ending the Stryfe

    These missions are a good way of farming Mutant Tier-2 materials. Each mission has a daily entry limit of 3, and drops about 20 Feathers and slightly less than 10 M'Kraan Crystals per run.

    Deluxe Mission
    Beginning of the Chaos
    Beginning of the Chaos

    This mission is unlocked upon buying the Deluxe Pack, and has a daily entry limit of 2. Each run will drop about 10 Psylocke X-Genes, 40 Phoenix Feathers, 10 M'Kraan Crystals and a handful of M'Kraan Shards, making it one of the most valuable missions to play.

    Every run will randomly select one of Fantomex, Domino or Colossus as an Ally Shifter (if played manually), and rewards a single X-Gene of that Shifter character upon mission completion.

    As with the Stupid X-Men missions, it is an option to guarantee two Colossus X-Genes from this mission by force closing if you get Domino or Fantomex as a Shifter. Again, this is tedious, but can bring the total up to 8 Colossus X-Genes a day when combined with force closing for Stupid X-Men.

  • Epic Quest Collections

    Epic Quest Collections contain random items that have a chance to drop every time you run a specific mission. Each Collection comes with a reward upon completion.

    The X-Force Armory Collection contains 4 items, each subdivided into 3 sub-items that can be farmed from missions within the Epic Quest. Once the required amounts of all 3 sub-items for a Collection item are reached, it is marked as collected, and your reward can be redeemed.

    The amount you need to farm for each sub-item is more or less arbitrary. Each sub-item has its own drop percentages, and some will drop in higher quantities at once than others. None of the rewards for this Collection are much good anyway, so it's probably not worth focusing on any of these.

    For each sub-item, the number of items needed is shown to the side. The icon shows the mission the sub-item drops in: as listed in the "Unlockable Missions" section.
