This guide is done on Very Hard, averaging ~22.5K EXP a minute, provided everything goes well. There's also a chance for purple mods. It's not 100% consistent, so you may need to re-pull enemies to get it working. I do 2 runs in the video.

This requires you to have the Chieftain's Trials unlocked, and ideally 40 or so stealth (Nora Silent Hunter Master + mod). You need rocks and any arrows which the merchant nearby has. A backup high damage weapon would be good in case the trap doesn't kill the machine, like a Banuk Striker Bow with mods.

A few notes regarding sound. When enemies don't see it being fired, an arrow when hitting a surface will alert nearby enemies. Thrown rocks make a large amount of sound. The goal is to manage these to divert the two Scorchers in the first area.

Start the challenge, and go down the rope without being detected. Quickly go up the rocks, and shoot an arrow at the base of the left log trap before the 1st Scorcher reaches the end its patrol path. Throw a rock at the right log trap. If you do it right, only the 2nd Scorcher will be alerted.

Once the Scorchers get near the traps, shoot the trap with an arrow to kill them. Loot (if you want to), but make sure you're far enough away fast travel to the hunting grounds to repeat.

Things To Account For:
Scorchers may just look at the sound and resume their regular patrol. You will need to shoot another arrow or throw another rock. The Scorchers may also survive the log trap so you may need to follow up with high damage. Use rocks and arrows to pull depending on distance.
