In Earth Defense Force 2025 (地球防衛軍4.1 in Japan, so basically EDF 4 there) the good missions for weapons farming are different from 4.1. Air Raider has a huge edge on this, as he's the easiest class to achieve this.
The last 3 missions are not exactly high end, but the ones that enable you to reach 71+.
- Mission 82 - Battle to the Death
This is the best and easiest mission for high end weapons. The main reason is that you can farm infinitely (within limits 😁) a large carrier dropping hectors, which can yield more weapon crates than usual enemies. Air Raider rules here, as expected:
Other weapons than the ones I used can also work (dual ZEXR), but the shield gives peace of mind in the end
- Mission 84 - Scorching
A medium difficulty mission for the AR, with the Epsilon Blast Railgun E and dual ZEXR. Can be infinitely farmed at the end if you leave the left transport alive that drops ants. Killing all flying vehicles from first wave will take time but can be faster split screen using the second class. On second wave most important is killing giant bee followed by center transport that drops spiders. Second best mission after 82.
- Mission 83 - Massive Mobilization
A medium difficulty mission for the AR, with the Epsilon Blast Railgun E and dual ZEXR. Can be infinitely farmed at the end if you leave the back left transport alive that drops ants. Biggest issue in this mission is the Flying Vehicles, as one can kill you in a snap if you have below 2000ish armor. The rest of the mission is easy if you only attack one transport at a time. Hectors and deroys are a piece of cake with Epsilon.
Unless you can snipe flying vehicles with a second class it's advisable to make a few runs with ZEXRs at start to try to reduce their numbers, it's boring but will pay off.
- Mission 85 - Star Eaters
Not a awful mission after all, can be done in roughly 15 minutes with AR. Drops are spread and not many, but quality is usually good as it's the last mission.
- Mission 77 - Fallen Flagship
Reasonable mission with AR or Ranger, but sometimes killing the shield bearers becomes a nightmare as you can go down the crater and they come up and you're in trouble if you can't go up again.
- Mission 71 - Death Queen
The start of this mission is daunting for everyone except the Wing Diver. Equip RZR Launcher or similar, immediately fly and shoot down to kill "flock" of spiders. Don't come down from ledge until all, or almost, spiders are killed. Not stellar in weapon crates but good.
2025 missions are not in the dark, so they're easier than in 4.1. BTW you can learn the maps in 4.1 by playing the similar missions in 2025, maps are equal and most cave missions are almost equal.
- Mission 45 - Blue Fighters
A easy mission for the Air Raider or Ranger. Since you're killing hectors infinitely in the first wave, it's productive as hectors have a higher chance of dropping weapon crates. All other missions until the end ones are not very interesting
- Mission 14 - Preventing Landfall
A easy one due to the massive number of NPCs. Just help with the drones, and with what you can with the hectors. But mission is almost after mission 11, so weapon drops are not that interesting, as mot good ones will be already in your possession.
- Mission 11 - Air Force
A almost self farming mission. Just go to the tunnel under the bridge just in front of start and wait there that the NPCs almost finish third wave of drones, then exit and pick crates. Kump on the ledge in the back of tunnel to avoid drone hits.
