don't use the default fits, they are bad.
take the isk you started with and buy 1 copy of every militia infantry item, with the exception of the militia scrambler pistol, militia nanite injector, and if you purchased the merc pack, militia SMG. (pistol and injector are bugged, and the toxin is better than the militia smg, and is still infinite)
make your own fits.
the 2 most basic fits i suggest you make are assault suits, with dual shield extenders in the high slots. nanohive in the equipment. smg in the sidearm. assault rifle in the light slot of one, swarm launcher in the light slot of the other. use the low slot for an armor repper if it'll fit. if not use a CPU or PG upgrade to help make the rest fit. if there's room, stick militia locus grenades in there to.
the rifle fit isn't TO reliant on the smg, so you can remove it to make grenades or a repper fit if you want, but the swarm fit REALLY needs a sidearm. you'll regret it if you go without a good one.
these are just about as basic as it gets, but while they're not impressive, (you're still likely to get wrecked by people with good gear) they are intelligently assembled, and should be the easiest analogue for players experienced with MOST other shooters.
from there feel free to tinker. so long as you use all militia gear you can't really lose anything.
as for actually playing, i hate to say it but while you're in all militia gear, you are pretty much expendable. play like it.
- don't "save" your grenades. you're not likely to live long, and those grenades coulda done SOMETHING. even if you just throw them at an objective to make sure it's clear of remote explosives before you or a teammate hack.
- don't "save" your nano-hives either. that's free ammo for you and any teammate nearby. a lot of times after a good fight over an objective there will be at least 1 or 2 guys who need some bullets. this is especially true of higher skillpoint players. i carry nanohives myself. yet with prototype gear, if i'm having a good game i can still survive long enough to run out of hives AND ammo. so i will never begrudge taking it from somebody else. free points for you, and it keeps my expensive suit from becoming worthless.
- shoot your swarm launcher at every enemy vehicle you can find. pile on. i can't tell you how many times i've wished i'd had even 1 guy with a militia swarm to double team a powerful tank with me. the swarm doesn't get a lot of ammo, but that's why you have nano-hives.
- stay near other players but don't try to hide behind them. an assist is worth half a kill and you have minimal risk for being out in front.
- try to be the one to hack the objective whenever possible, and remember to defend them afterwards. a completed hack is worth 2 kills, but you get nothing if the enemy stops it. don't do this at the expense of shooting a nearby enemy however, even if you have a nearby friendly already handling it. land 1 bullet and you get an assist. land enough bullets and you might actually save your teammate. you can always hack the panel 3 seconds later.
- go into your options and turn voice chat on. |
