Basically I don't have a clue what to do  What would you say is the best thing to start out with and to level up etc? I've tried levelling up many various things i.e forge guns, heavy loadout, vehicles, assault rifles, smg's , snipers, suits. Nothing seems to work for me, feels like i'm getting dropped much quicker then they are. I thought about starting off levelling up armour and shields but I just dunno. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. |

It's hard starting out. Everything looks so far away.
But you just need to pick a direction that suits your playing style. See how you're comfortable playing and then upgrade that.
Do you fight up close rather than further away? Is it close enough for SMG or should you go for automatic ARs?
Do you move around enough or should up buff your armour/shield skills?
Do you usually go for armour suits or shield suits? Buff the relative advantage to the suits you like running around in.
And most importantly, stick with your plan. Don't go training some new skill every time you get to level 2 on something. Push to level 4 or 5 and then move to something else.
Pick a gun or suit and train up the skills you need for it but don't stop there. Keep pushing them until you can maximize that gun/suit.
Basically, make a plan and stick with it. |

I prefer to run and gun but more often then not I die pretty quickly. Ideally I'd like a close to medium range weapon.
I try to keep moving but once I get into someone's line of fire I get dropped pretty quickly
I didn't know there was a difference in armour or shield suits :/
I never know if it's best to upgrade a smg or AR straight away or if it's best to split it with armour/shields. I also just end up grabbing type 1 or type 2 assault suits. |

Well there's your difference right there.
Type I suits are armour suits. Notice how they have more armour than shield.
Type II suits are shield suits.
You really should pick one type and specialize. At least for now.
You said you wanted short-medium range skills. Sounds like you should be carrying an automatic (for shorter) or breach (slightly longer) for that range. You could also try burst ARs but they take some more getting used to. As for the SMG, keep it as a good secondary but don't train it until you're good enough with AR.

Thanks for the tips  Going to try it out now see if it works out. I chose the burst rifle as I have used it previously and seemed to do better with it then the creodron one.
Not a good first game. People camping with remote explosives on the spawn  |

Ad ski. According to what you're saying, i would recommand skilling for the type2 assault dropsuit. Or type2 scout suit.
Depending on how balance you want your speed\Health ratio to be.
=> Assault, you'll be tougher but not fast enough to avoid a badly started fight
=> Scout, you'll get the chance to run for your life but if fight s inevitable, you'll have les HP.
If you're a close to medium range fighter, skill SMG and focus on sidearm sharpshooter and sidearm operation. (those skills are all X1 wich mean you'll raise them to lvl 5 pretty quickly)
=> With your type 2 assault suit, you should be able to equip 2 smg as weapons. This will compensate your low recharge time and low ammo cap. Maybe try breach version to compensate your low damage skills.
=> Maybe skill "demolition" lvl1 so you can use remote explosives to boogie trap objective points or get rid of heavy infantry.
And skill your shield. Your type2 suit will be enough for a while and you should enhance its shield as much as possible. Use extenders and a light recharge module.
On your armor. Just equip a militia armor rep. And probably a CPU extension when you'll get bigger shield module. Militia grade will do for a while until you reach more CPU consuming weapons. |

Thanks for the advice. I always wondered why my armour never repaired before |
