Payday

Payday is a monthly event that will get you a hefty injection of badly needed gold. It comes around every 3rd friday of the month. The requirements are 5 characters with Mercenary tag and star rank 1-7 depending on the tier of the event.

Options are Bullseye, Deadpool, Killmonger, Korath the Pursuer, Mercenary Lieutenant, Mercenary Riot Guard, Mercenary Sniper, Mercenary Soldier and Taskmaster.

Please not that while this brings in a lot of money, it is only once a month and averaged out over a month, there are better options. Also the whole guide to endgame uses few characters so you won’t need that much gold anyway. This is why you should not prioritize this guide over others or the characters in it.

Team

Deadpool and Killmonger are the only ones needed elsewhere so we will include them for this event. Well, Deadpool still isn’t but we have some information from the game that the X-Force will be required to unlock Otto Octavius.

Taskmaster, Bullseye, Mercenary Lieutetnant and Riot Guard (with Killmonger) are the best choice for a war defense team but there are 4 and we need 3. Taskmaster is the team leader so I hate to exclude him but he is only one not farm-able.

Availability

Mercenary Riot Guard is available in the Blitz store for 400 credits

Bullseye is available in 2 campaign nodes. Heroes 2-6 and Villains 1-3 so you wont have any problems farming him.

Mercenary Lieutenant is available only in Villains 3-3 and may be the slowest grind of all.

Deadpool is available in the Arena store. This is a problem as using this guide you will have so many priorities over Deadpool at least initially. So keep farming him just enough to keep up with the rest of your Mercenaries. Maybe i will change this once Dr. Octopus is available and X-Force is farmable.

Killmonger is a Raid store character so use every chance to buy him.
