A familiar face found out how to get to rank 40 before you ever finish the tutorial mission "A Guardian Rises".
Turns out that it's pretty straightforward, and he lays out a whole lot of relevant data about the effort. This guy's got some time on his hands...

That is the most pathetic thing I have ever seen in my entire life, and I used to watch RageQuit.

I thought he was at least going to use Motes or something, but killing what--ten enemies at a time and leaving the game over and over?!

I now feel a hell of a lot better about my own life.

question, b/c i've never tried it. can you get to the rest of the cosmodrone from the first mission? I know you can't go past the ship, but can you get from the divide, to the rocketyards, and then through the underground part (forget the name)?

Yes - he got to the Divide (you can see it in the video, and read about it in his reddit post).

30 enemies per lap, 2100+ laps. As he writes, it became zenlike after a while. :)

Why didn't he use that spark that brings you up to level 25 you got with taken king? That would have saved a buttload of time.

Because saving time wasn't the goal of the project. ;)

well, you go through the divide as part of that mission. I meant, can you go to the rocket yard, and head towards sepiks prime and out through the forgotten shore? could you theoretically take the back way through to a patrol area to get more kills? (instead of leaving and restarting)

lol, why didn't he just play the game as intended, instead of running the same mission over and over?

Ahaha. Running the same mission over and over IS how the game is intended to be played! :-p

Can't remember if it was a countdown or an invisible wall (maybe both), but at some point in running eight+ characters through that area (or rather, riding my magically acquired Sparrow through it), the thought crossed my mind...

Wait, can you drop a sparrow into a new character through the app? lol

When you first set foot in the Divide (new character), you can summon a Sparrow. As in, you have a Sparrow by default when you start the game. Makes blazing through on new characters pretty simple.

Not in a row.
