This is all really good information. I'm curious what you think of the Joker Semi-Auto Rifle. It's one of my favorites. I'm still torn on the gun modifications. Many of them come with drawbacks that make me hesitant to use them, and most cost a ton. Any experience with the different weapon mods?
I've used the SR15 minimally so far, and I like it as-is vanilla. I think maybe Improved Rifling might help. I prob wouldn't add sights to the gun, it's strength is much like the star... you can smg dance at close range and marksmen at mid range. Improved rifling would let you engage in standoffs more easily though.
Also as a note, I'm not finding the first level of upgrades really useful at all. Most of the people I've played with said to just ignore the level ones and go straight to level 2s.

How do I play with a friend? We can see each other in the social district but can't see each other in the financial district or do missions together. It's kind of gay.

Make sure you're actually in the same Instance (channel) as your friend. When you see those 3 huge bars that say, Social District, Financial District, etc., press on the tab that says Instances, and then you can join a specific channel like Action-Financial-EN2 or something.

How do i get my game to workkkkk ;(

I uninstalled this morning. I understand the allure of a free-to-play game but I still want it to be a good game. If I had paid money for this I would have been extremely upset.

Sorry to hear...  . Did you play by yourself, or with friends? Because with friends, it makes the game like 10x more enjoyable.

Best way to play this game is pistol only. No one else does it.

The game definitely has issues, but imo the positives outweigh the negatives. This game offers a shooter experience that you really can't get in any other online game.
I hope the balance out the mission structure soon, as it is now it seems to favor crims.

Hit U ingame to bring up the friends menu, make sure you add one another to your friends list. Once you're friends, make sure you're both in the same district (there are instances of each district). If you just select the district you want to enter from the main screen, chances are you're in a different instance of that district than your friend. To resolve this, just pull up your friends list, and select their name, and click Join District. This can also be done at the main screen, as there's a button in the bottom left to pull up your groups/friends menu.
Every time I load up, I pull up the friends list first, to see if anyone else is playing, and if someone is, I join on their district.
Hope that's helpful.

Game is still beta, so there are problems. Memory leaks, Lag spikes, Framerate issues, imbalance, pointless missions, hackers, etc.. The idea is great, but until it's finally polished, expect frequent rage and wtf's. It's free, so it's worth a try.
I think Kerregan killed me a half dozen times last night. Good times.

Just a tip for beginners, using the change view (?) key is pretty huge in this game. I think the default is V but I switched it to middle mouse button since I use it so much now. It changes the camera to make it easier to third person camp. You have to change it when you are looking down a different way than before.

I have played this game for about 6 hours (at least that is what it says when I highlight my character on the screen ingame  ) and so far I am really enjoying it. There are obviously still some things that need to be worked out, which is why it is still APB: Reloaded Beta, but the things that are still being worked on don't seem to be game breaking to me in any way.
The one thing that I seem to have a problem with is people with weapon mods. I get absolutely DESTROYED by people who are using weapon mods for some reason (I figured out that when someone is shooting at me and they have the blue bullets, or whatever you want to call them, they are using a weapon mods) and I really want to be able to beat them, because it is kinda making me a little disappointed.
I guess that leads to a related question, how do I go about getting mods for my gun? I plan to play completely F2P, as I don't really have any extra money to spend on a game right now. I know I have a lot to learn, because I have barely even scratched the surface of the game.
Besides that, I am loving it and will continue to play it even though I get destroyed a good amount of the time. Anyone looking to get into the game, know you will have to be willing to learn the ropes if you want to do decent, but anyone that plays Starcraft knows how that is so I don't think I have to go any further into that..
I play an Enforcer named Venality on the Joker server.
Hope to see some TLers out there while I am playing!

Press J and then roles. Each weapon role will unlock mods and weapons with mod slots. Level 5 for 1 shot weapon level 10 for 2. The mods are usually unlocked at level 4, 9, and 15.

Holy cow this is fun. You've got to play it with friends, because it just amplifies the fun to insane. The random objectives, the chaos, the gunfights, the sound effects (absolutely love the reverb/echo effects as things happen in the distance), and the resulting adrenaline rush makes it enormous fun to play. Not sure how much of this to credit to Gamers First, because I never played the original, but they've done an amazing job of making the game just crazy enough on its own, and allowing the players themselves to make the fun.

This game would be phenomenal if it incorporated Brink-style movement, and did so well. It's a little inconsistent that I can vault a fence (verrry smoothly, I must say-- the animation is very well done) but I can't climb onto an equally high shed. I'm no game designer, but I speculate this has to do with fences being interactable objects, and the outer walls of the buildings not.
Being able to wall hop and slide would just be extra deliciousness.
APB:R with Brink movement is like PB & Chocolate. We need someone to come along and combine the two.

Thanks, didn't realize there were instances.

I'm rawbb on US East, I only played for a few hours yesterday but it's really quite fun :D Still confused by a few of the UI elements but I've had a lot of fun doing missions. How do you fire out a car window?

If you're a passenger, press A or D (or W?) to lean out the corresponding window, then fire as you would normally.

I played this game a ton back when it was in it's original beta last year. Tons of fun (repetitive fun, but fun). I always got in a group as fast as possible. Too much fun cruising around in a car full of people to not do it.
