Far Far West Banjo Leveling: Healing XP After the Buff
Quick Answer
To level the Banjo under the September 8 update, use it in the secondary slot and right-click to heal yourself or nearby allies when HP needs restoring. The patch raised its XP multiplier from 0.6 to 1 and added XP based on player HP healed, including your own. That means actual healing matters; it is not a documented fixed XP reward for every button press.

Before you set out
Prerequisites#
- Use v0.2.0.20 or the applicable later patch; older slow-leveling advice may predate the buff.
- Equip the Banjo in the secondary weapon slot.
Route 02
Use healing during play#
Keep the Banjo equipped#
The Banjo uses the secondary slot. Its right-click action heals you and nearby allies.
Heal HP that needs restoring#
The XP change is based on HP healed. Use the healing action when health is missing; do not assume repeatedly pressing it at full health grants a fixed reward.
Watch progress across comparable play#
No official HP-to-XP conversion ratio is given. Compare your own progress under similar mission conditions rather than expecting a particular amount of XP per heal.
