What to buy? Which is better?

[Musa 5,352]

I have 110k and I am 12k of ranking to Captain.

You can't say that northerner & glaze are more powerful than Juggler. Every turret/hull has some pros & cons so don't think that Juggler is a weak & degraded combo before Lt. General.

I would recommend you to MU just your ricochet. Don't upgrade Hunter. An upgraded turret is enough to reach at Lt. General. Do MUs time by time, never spend crystals on speedups. Always keep some crystals in your account like 40-50K so if there will be any sudden MU sale you will be able to take its advantage.

 

And don't buy the kit which contains ricochet M3.

I have 110k and I am 12k of ranking to Captain. At the moment, I use the Juggler kit with 2 MUs on my ricochet and a single MU on hunter. I am going to be facing high ranking players very soon with either tons of MUs or the best m2 kits like northerner, glaze or atlas. I want to be able to be effective or last till lieutenant general. These are the options I have considered so far.

1) MU my combo

Pros: * I can use the turret I have used for ages * It would be able to compete with higher lvls 

Cons: * Buying an m3 kit with the same combo would give you less of an advantage ( what I mean is that if u have a rico 2.5 and u get a rico m3 in a kit, you only get a 0.5 upgrade). The kit im talking about is redneck and paying over 400k for 0.5 upgrade doesnt seem to be worth it.

Question: How many MUs can I put onto my combo so that I can last till lieutenant general and compete with the higher level players whilst getting the most out of an m3 kit purchase when I reach the rank? 

2) Buy a late-unlocking/ good m2 kit

Pros: * Strong combo * Would be able to match with higher level players 

Cons: *Limited options due to the fact that I already have a medium hull so I can't get kits that contain medium hulls. I'm not a fan of heavy or light hulls. This means that if I do buy a kit with a medium hull I will not be getting my crystal's worth.

*The kit combo would also have to be MUed to keep it effective.

Question: How effective and versatile if the Atlas kit (I kind of dislike titan due to its slow speed. It makes it a sitting duck in DMs but maybe its better than I think)? And how many MUs would I have to apply to it so that it lasts till lieutenant general?

3) Tough it out and don't spend anything untill I reach lieuetent general.

Pros: *Save a lot of money 

Cons: *Terrible and boring ranking experience as using weaker, degraded equipment makes ranking harder and you earn less crystals.

Question: Is it worth it?

 

Another thing I want to say is that I have the digital legacy module if anyone thinks that it should be considered. Which option should I pick and why? Answers to the questions would be great as well. The reason why this post is so long? I need to make the right, informed decision. I need to save money whilst surviving the higher ranks and get the most out of the m3 kit I buy which will probably be redneck as I like ricochet but I am happy to change for the better. I want to know what you guys think. I have posted questions like these before but only got few responses which was not enough to base my decision on. Once again, I am very sorry for the long read. If you feel that there is a better option than these three, you're more than welcome to give a different option.

I would say buy m2 firebird... I used m2 viking fire combo from major to lieuteneant genral with no problems at all I was able to finish in first place even with m3 on my team and if you learn how to use the combo effectively it becomes really good. I had no micro upgrades on that combo eithe.

[Hez_DarkLord 103]

Rail m3 or Wasp m3 first? Im a BP player hoping to become more competitive.

[Oddo_Nurmaso 14]

Buy Railgun M3 first because Wasp M2 gets 8% protection against Railgun (Wiki) so it will be fair to play against M3 hulls and it reloads faster than M2...

Railgun of course.

And don't buy the kit which contains ricochet M3. 

The general rule is that the later unlocked a gun is or the more expensive, the better it is. This seems to be true actually as many people claim that these kits are the best but not just that, I see those kits topping most of the time and so do other people. 

Ricochet will surely be good with MUs I agree with you. 

And another thing, I hear from some people that you should ONLY MU on sale even if it isnt a speed up. The truth is that these sales don't exactly come everyday and we should not expect them too. Should I MU nonetheless? ( i wont speed up). Also how many MUs should I apply to my ricochet?

As for the m3 kit, I was going to buy redneck but nvm. Which should I buy(any kit that has a medium hull?

Best solution to someone who knows how to play short-range. Unfortunately, I don't. I spend too much time on my only gun, ricochet. 

[DragonOfStorms 2,706]

I have 175k, and I'm 45k from ranking. I'm planning to buy a weapon to mount on Viking M2 and MU to M3 (no speed-ups). My favorite weapons are Smoky and Ricochet. I will also be buying a 3-protection module during the summer sale (leaning towards Rico-Thunder-Rail).

 

So: Rico during sale (40%!) or Smoky after ranking during next sale? Any recommendations for a module that might be a better choice?

 

I'm torn, because I've heard Smoky is underpowered, but Rico may be needed due to it's power.

If you buy ricochet, its ok but its only really good with an alteration. By alteration I mean the minus field stabilization one. It only makes rico better. If you are willing to buy the alteration, go rico. If not then I would go for smoky. 

Even spending extra crystals on the atl makes rico more worth it imho. The doubled speed can help you do truly wonderful things with your angles for some reason.

I don't think lately unlocked kits are better. Railgun is always best and it unlocks early.....

 

Also how many MUs should I apply to my ricochet?

Try to do atleast 7-8 before reaching at Lt. general. And rest of MUs you can later.....

 

As for the m3 kit, I was going to buy redneck but nvm. Which should I buy(any kit that has a medium hull?

My favorite kits are Jackhammer, Legend & Cardinal. 

Try viking, it's better than Hunter for now in speed and stability, but an upcoming update 'Hull characteristics' might make Hunter better.

Believe me get fire.. you should be natural with it by brigadier.. learning isnt a hard process with this combo

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

But that's m1vulcan, m2 vulcan is bad at m2 is what I've HEARD.

 

 

Actually, Vulcan at m2 is really good, because you can fire continuously. Plus if you buy it and then fully microupgrade it at its unlock rank, you will have a borderline M3 and combine it with a heavy hull and you're unstoppable ( that is if you are a heavy druggers and are followed by an isida train that will heal you)

 

 

Wow I can't believe you don't have high-caliber ammo at your rank. Railgun without alt is like comparing a pistol with a cannon.

Many buy railgun for xpbp format

Vulcan can fire continuously at all m levels I believe.

I never tried both of 'em, so I can't say, but from the enemy's perspective, I bet that there are more players with smoky protection than rico.

[Musa 5,352]

I don't think so. 

Sometimes I face upto 250 total protection against rico in polygon. It's too much, never seen that much against Smoky.

[PracticeParkourStunt 2,542]

I don't think so. 

Sometimes I face upto 250 total protection against rico in polygon. It's too much, never seen that much against Smoky.

Perhaps that's because rico is more efective in poly? 

[Randinu_the_cool 154]

I was kinda wanting to buy ricochet m2 for iron days as my last m2 but now I'm guessing tommorw would have 40% dsicount on turrets. So should I buy Ricochet m2 now or save. At the same time i'm saving for ghost kit

[sparkl_awesome 120]

i have 188kcrys what m3 kit should i get i can reach 300k crys when i ranked .my best combo is xp. should i get touche or legend kit ?
 

 

[D.A.R.K.N.E.S.S 432]

Currently on 130k and I would be able to grind out the remaining 9k needed to get fire m3 on the 40% sale

 

Should i buy it or wait for a 50% sale considering im doing fine using thunder/smoky m3 as my turrets?

 

Alternatively I could get the twins alteration this sale and then save for m3 twins instead of fire for the next 50% sale.

I have wasp M1 and 26k cry.

Should I save up for railgun M1 or buy hornet M1?

I m XP/BP player and play mostly on garder rather than sandbox or zone

Depends, if your aim is not perfect and never miss a shot then smoky. If you have slightly bad aim thunder. 

[SoHanz 0]

Rico m2 or Vulcan m2 ? 

[nabiL94 159]

I want to buy M3 turret in this summer sale, which turret of these do you guys recommend??

Thunder
Freeze
Twins
Hammer with alteration "High Capacity Drum"
Isida

I like to play in all maps; small, medium, and large.

Just keep saving for kit, kit is more important than another m2 turret.

 

i have 188kcrys what m3 kit should i get i can reach 300k crys when i ranked .my best combo is xp. should i get touche or legend kit ?

 

I would get Touche since I prefer Wasp over Hornet, but if you like Hornet better then go for Legend kit.

You cant know when will be 50% sale, so I would get Fire in this sale since you are close already to it, Twins with alteration also wouldn't be bad tho.

Thunder M2.

 

I have wasp M1 and 26k cry.

Should I save up for railgun M1 or buy hornet M1?

Get Rail M1, why you need Hornet M1 if you have Wasp M1 already, they are almost same, so go for Rail.

 

Rico m2 or Vulcan m2 ? 

Rico M2.

Thunder

Freeze

Twins

Hammer with alteration "High Capacity Drum"

Isida

If you play all maps then I would go for Hammer. Hammer works in all maps. Twins needs alteration to be good, because self-damage annoying, Thunder would be second option if you wouldn't want hammer, although Thunder wouldn't work that well in small maps. All rest small range turrets would be bad in big maps.
