At first I figured the HMG would be the infantry elite lawn mower but lately I've been getting destroyed by militia gear. Not to mention should a person be past 25 meters away I have NO chance what so ever. If they are point blank i'll generally win but with like 1/10 of hp left.
Then I tired different types of weapons and the mass driver was ok but it seems like assault rifles are dominate. What do you all think?
What are survival skills to help me out? just looking for suggestions.
Well, if you prefer to keep it heavy you could try to get the Heavy Type-II Drop-suit since it has greater focus on shields, faster moving speed and sprinting speed. Shields are generally better for survival as they are not as hard to regenerate as armor is. Logistics are often too busy getting ran over by tanks to care about repairing heavies.
HMG seems to be suitable for Close range fire mostly, so the heavy weapon sharpshooter can probably help a bit with the range problem. Assault rifles generally dominate on the medium semi-long distances so instead of running to your death you could try luring them to you with the terrain.
Generally good skills for survival are Shield operation (% regen speed), shield management (% shields), Mechanics (% armor), Repair systems (% repair rate).
- Weaponry and HMG operation are pretty important as well due to being able to kill stuff faster.
- Mechanics is especially good for heavy due to the large hp/armor pool.
Personally I play Assault with tactical assault rifle and try to keep my distance to the enemies, using shield modules and armor repair module and CPU upgrade. I rarely die more than 4 times in a match, most matches I play I tend to have 1-3 deaths.
Common reasons being-> spawn in front of a tank or shotgun scout, get gang raped or carelessly sniped. |

If you're that new, you could go and buy most of the militia weapons, modules etc from the market and experiment a bit. They are infinite and some of them are rather cost effective like repair and shield modules. You only need to buy one of each.
There are few good starter "builds" tough. "Shotgun fairy" which means scout with a boom-stick, and it's pretty deadly even with low end shotguns. Sniper scout with and SMG is also pretty versatile for new players having SMG for CQC and sniper rifle for longer ranges.
You could even try similar fits but replace them with heavy suit if you so prefer.
Pretty important thing that some people fail to realize is that you reveal your position when you fire your gun, use it on your advantage instead of telling the enemy where you are.
Don't bother fighting tanks, it's a waste of time, money and lives, avoid them for best results or.. become one of them. |
