Rumor is that triple station cash will be happening next friday.
Sure, right before the world ends. Of course.
But seriously, I hope so. I was pissed to find the sale yesterday for the first of 12 daily holiday sales was simply a damned helmet. Ugh.
Alright, so now I'm really beginning to wonder how I should progress with certs:
I am thus far planning to mostly play as an NC Engineer. I was rocking the stock rifle, but just bought the Gauss Compact S and am liking it so far. I have heard others prefer a few other rifles, like the AC-X11 for it's heavier punch (but it is slower), and then there's another that is basically a firehouse of rounds (with less punch), which seems preferred for the close quarter fights.
I just know I wasn't happy with the recoil on the default Engi carbine (for NC).
That said, I also like to rock with the Vanguard, sometimes the Lightning.
And I definitely like making use of the Engi class itself. I'll turret from time to time, but also repair a lot (both vehicles and Maxes) and drop ammo like crazy.
For the rifle, so far I've only got the 2x Red-dot sight. This one can also have under-barrel grenade launcher or shotgun, and I am looking into that at some point, but would rather improve the overall rifle in other ways. And I want to definitely spec out the Engi class and the tanks as well.
Just not sure where I should really sink certs first (already have improved the class some as well).
For that specific rifle/carbine (Gauss Compact S), is it that beneficial to get either the Compensator or Forward Grip, and if so, which one would be better?
Would it just be more beneficial to improve the Health bonus (what is it, Nanite something..?).
I've also looked into improving armor on the Vanguard, or one of the other overall improvements.
Or is it better to, first, get the mobile spawn cert on the Sunderer, and make heavy use of that in the meantime and quickly rebuild the number of certs?
