Why would you not want to rent stuff? They're only like 200 gp each day and you make that much in one or two games. Getting a weapon permed is 5500 so you would need to play for almost a month before perm is more cost efficient.

If you're talking about tactical gear, the Heal Injector is probably the strongest option, unless you want the Cloak or Shield, but you'll need to build properly for those, whereas the Heal Injector works for everyone.

For depot items, there isn't anything really worth using except Swarm Rockets. Even after the price nerf, it costs 1200 and you get 200 for each kill, so 6 kills to break even and it's almost impossible to fail that badly with Swarm.

I recommend getting EMP grenades though. They cause a blue-screen-of-death effect, but they're basically flash bang for 3.5 seconds. The other grenades are underwhelming, in my opinion, and won't work out for you at this level.

If you don't snipe, I firmly believe the the OPRL REFLEX-2 HOLO scope is the best for close quarters, followed by the EON-F1 which is almost the same thing. If you really want that extra zoom, then SILVERWOOD CONS-ELO which I recommend if you snipe.

I actually agree a bit. It definitely is a bit random, especially when you play with weapons not intended for point-blank fights.

I activate HRV and I see a dude taking a corner right in my face. What can I do at that point? Not that much. I play with Sniper Rifles mostly so I guess that's a risk because I'm not a good Sniper: I can't go all reaction headshot on people if I don't know he's coming. Of course the point stands that I should position myself better... except that people can spawn behind me. Maybe I'm just not used to that.

This is all just competitive ranting tho. If the game wants to go competitive, I think it needs to go with the way Counter-Strike and Call of Duty 4 did it. No respawns and an objective to prevent stalling.

I have to say i'm kind of losing interest in the game, I think the biggest issue is that despite all the nice little stat upgrades, the guns really lack interesting feel.

AR's, HAR's and SMG's feel very similar, and no matter how much shit you put on a reciever, it still basically feels like what ever the base type is.

The recoil characteristics/spread/weapon sounds are all really similar, which just isnt very interesting.

Um what? The HAR's recoil is only verticle. The SMG has huge spread (note, not recoil) and the AR has a decent amount of recoil. That's the point. You pick a basetype weapon and build from there. If i put 100 attachments on my m16a4 guess what, it's still an m16a4 and will always feel that way.

Why isn't this game more popular? seems like a very entertaining free arcade shooter from what I have played so far (2 days)

I would guess because they're bad at it. I'm level 17 and I run in regular stock shit. Only thing i've bought is receivers. It's disgusting how easy it is to completely annihilate 99% of people in this game if you have any clue as to what you're doing. The wallhacks make a good fps player amazing.

For some reason, there are people complaining about how hard it is to acquire money and perm stuff, considering every other free FPS has a terrible renting scheme. There's also quite a lot of complaining on how knifing is OP in a gun game =_=

Is it just me or does virtually everyone suck at this game? I run completely stock and just role over the other team. I don't even really play pc shooters that much. My basic plan is to use wallhacks and try to get people from behind until you get money for a hardsuit. Once you get a hardsuit your pretty much guaranteed to get another one and keep killing people.

Overall, this game is pretty fun I just wish there was more variety in the guns/maps.
