"syndicate" submachine gun
or
"toxin" icd 9 submachine gun
i didnt see any difference in stats when browsing for a bpo sub gun.
anyone prefer one over the other? are these the "best" bpo sub guns?
also, if i buy 1 shield extender bpo, can i stack that same "1" in 2 or 3 slots?
thanks |

as for stacking yes you can with only one
thanks, why have two different ones, with only different colors? are they left over bpo's from various packs or something? i mean, 2 exact same sub gun bpo's, but all kinds of various weapons/suits with ZERO bpo's  |

depends on your play style and how much your willing to spend. you can build a decent fit with what comes in the merc pack (merc pack only last til oct 8th)

What's really worth it though is the vehicle blueprints. Particularly for making free LAVs if you bought a veteran or elite pack.
i had to replace my ps3 back in february and it came with a pack in code for dust. it had 20k aurum, 7 day active, "grustis saga LAV bpo" and a bunch of consumables. its what got me started on dust514 |

Kristoff Atruin wrote:Yeah, so if you bought some vehicle module BPOs you could take that LAV and turn it into a disposable transport. I'd look at the shield hardeners, power diagnostic system / reactor control and possibly the shield booster. I really haven't been a vehicle guy since last summer so I'm not sure, but I think the blueprint shield extender you can get is meant for tanks (won't fit on a LAV)
good thinking, if only it came with a turret, or if they had a blaster bpo. oh well, still could make a vehicle that cost less than 10k |

They are both identical to a std SMG as far as performance; ignore any claims to the contrary. Confirming you can use 1x BPO in multiple slots on a suit. And whoever posted the 'which BPOs to buy...' wordpress: Cool, but with the vehicle changes coming, we have NO idea what they are going to do with vehicle BPOs that might not even be valid fits anymore (shield resistance amplifiers for instance might not even be an option anymore) - will they refund the BPOs or will they sit in your inventory as a "unique" but useless collector's item that only has ISK value as far as what people will pay to own said collector's item in the future when trading is implimented? We don't know yet. Life's an adventure. Luk Manag wrote:A Soma with two large shield extensions blueprints, replaced lows with militia power blueprints, 138k each with 6k+ hp and large blaster. Not bad for the price. That's ... original. Never even thought to do that and can't even comment further lol
i have the lav bpo that came with the ps3 dust code pack in, and ill be VERY disappointed if they render it unless by removing said lav variant.
ive asked in the main vehicle rework thread and a few others, about whats going to happen with the lav bpo's (if they are being removed temporarily) but never got a direct response in my redflag/inbox and i dont feel like sorting through 30 pages, to see if their was an indirect answer from anyone. do you happen to recall where you seen any info on this? id like to see any little thing said about it, no matter how small or vague
also THANKS for the informative response |

This makes me think all bpo's will be back after a rework (better then ever)
From a business aspect, (didnt they have an internal "shake up" recently? ) mabey the new team is trying to maximise profits while streamlining things for a better experience. Wasnt the marketplace recently reworked, to remove unnecessary clutter (all the sp and isk requirements for every weapon) and the new squad finder, means finding a squad faster and easier. new player tutorials make it easier to learn how to play dust514. While the new matchmaker/battle finder streamlined, how you join your preferred match type.
Meaning bpo's are up next for a rework/clean-up. Why have 10 different AR bpo's? I've seen multiple times, people asking for this or that bpo. Why not have 1 or 2 AR bpo's and change the other 8 into, 8 different various bpo's ( ex 1 MD, 1 flaylock, ect ect) You've got "mass driver guy" holding out his hand full of money, but cant find what hes looking for, so he spends his cash on COD instead.
Why not have a bpo for everything MLT grade? It's digital content, all it requires to make, is man hours, and if you want to remove it, its just a click or 2, without any physical waste or unused stock.
Same with maximising profits on the merc pack, since it contains 40k aurum, plus much much more for 20 dollars, It made buying 40k aurum straight up, for 20 dollars, obsolete. So from the business side, the merc pack had to go, it was to good of a deal. Mabey the merc pack will be refreshed (new bpo's) and re-released for 30-ish dollars (that seems to be the appropriate price point)
Thank you IWS for providing fuel, for the speculation fire.
ps. i didnt mention the tactical pack because its such a fail...smh |

(i dont have access to the marketplace at the moment to double check) The 'Fossil' ? Its a throwback to the original Minmatar suit from waaay back. It used to have just a sidearm but this has been changed to a light weapon. Other than that its the same as it always was. Now its essentially a standard Militia Med frame with the slots switched around, 2 equipment slots and no sidearm one thing the fossil does have is more speed and passive reps it has the speed of an assault suit and the 1hp passive reps
i heard suit bonuses carry over to bpo suit. is this true? (ex im at level 3 on minny logi and level 4 on amarr logi, would that 1hp rep, turn into 3 since my minny logi skill is 3? )
