For me it's easily refining liquid morkite. It takes forever. I swear half the team is off staring at a wall while you get the pipes built. Lastly, I can't quite out my finger on it, but the refining portion feels so scripted and boring....Every other mission type is a blast.

Gotta be the escort or the egg retrieval ones for me.

I find Egg Hunt to be okay if I'm playing Driller or Scout, the guys with the best transversal tools to get to the more weirdly placed eggs. I don't play it on Gunner or Engy though, it can be pretty bad (especially playing with Drillers or Scouts who like to set off the eggs as fast as possible with no pausing in between).

Escort duty is a grind and a slog.

Ya, I can see that. The really long ones can be a bit much.

Hot take: but the one with the giant drill. It's really cool the first time but otherwise it's gets repetitive waiting on top of the drill until you reach the destination. The final fight also usually plays the same.

I was just playing a long ass drill mission and the host quit at the end! Ok, maybe I dislike this one the most lol. I'm taking a slow relaxed approach to the refining missions and it isn't too bad I guess.

Nooo refining morkite is my favorite! I love figuring out the best way to route pipes and then being able to ride them. My least favorite is probably mini mules, always feels like it takes forever and it can randomly go to shit from the confusing spawn triggers.

Morkite mining. Long walk down, long walk up, and god forbid you make it to the bottom without the required morkite. Just kinda boring overall.

The worst part is sometimes molly will say fuck it and go 90° straight up, dumping in the deepest part of the map ;_;

Point extraction. No mule and having to lug big crystals around. No thanks.

arquarqs by far. really boring mission and because I'm a gunner at heart if the right team layout is not available I can waste resupplies easily depending on map layout and area. I find vertical maps to be the most challenging think Crystalline Caverns

sometimes i will run these solo and make bosco grab all the aquarqs for me. usually goes pretty quickly cause im just giving orders and killing bugs
