What to buy? Which is better?

[maryam98 1,171]

Completely depends on you, as I told you before, fireworks has hornet which can be used for parkour/space-mode/stg/events and works well with smoky too. The problem is that as most people usually use drugs and have powerful equipment, hence hornet may not help you in non-pro battles in the long run. As for firewall, you won't have any problem using it in any game mode but it requires you to buy the alt and if you've played with firebird a lot, it gets a bit boring sometimes.

 

I would personally go for fireworks just because hornet and hammer are more fun than using firebird which I've played a lot with. Both hammer and firebird are good with titan too so there is no clear winner.

My brother was almost always a firebird on his main account- Fire M1 at until WO5, then Freeze M2 till 2nd Lieutenant, and Firewall kit at 2nd Lieutenant- All in all, he got a bit bored and mainly played no-life Hill CTFs to alleviate said boredom. I don't think I want to use Firewall myself, so I probably will go for Fireworks.

And in response to your own edit, I don't play on this account anymore (unfortunately) due to a personal trouble with it that I can't overcome.

I will be using M3 Viking and M3 Twins with Stable Plasma Alteration both MUed to about 10 of 20 as soon as I make it to rank #25 (Taiga Kit).  I've been saving a long time already. 

 

I would like to buy a protection module during the next sale...what should I get?  What are the most dangerous turrets in the M3/M4 arena? 

 

In M2, I believe Rail is #1 for protection against, Thunder #2, Rico and Smoky tie for #3...I hate Magnums, but their killing is more annoying than actually dangerous.  Do the nasty Magnums get worse in M3/M4?

 

Ideas, recommendations from the pros and veterans?

[Maf 32,300]

Magnums are pretty annoying. I currently use a module for Rail (prodigy LGC) and another one for Magnum (+ rico and isida). If there was one with protection from both, I'd never take it off, but unfortunately there isn't one like that, so I switch between the two based on which turret there is more of in a particular battle.

 

But in addition to Rail and Magnum, also consider Hammer, Twins, Isida and Ricochet. Any combination of those 6 is effective in most battles.

 

Most useless protections to buy are Vulcan, Freeze, Smoky and Striker.

magnum, thunder, rail and firebird are most common turret at legend rank 

[maryam98 1,171]

I'm thinking of buying a module at Cosmonautic's day (If there is 50% off). I was thinking Grizzly T-E, Grizzly T-G, or Kodiak T-H (M0). Suggestions?

Never buy m0/m1 modules irrespective of sale or not. They are a complete waste of crystals as they add insignificant value, better spend those crystals somewhere else.

[MJROCKS05 428]

Better to use the "What to buy, which is better" topic for these kinds of queries instead of creating a separate topic in game discussion. I request the mods to move this topic.

 

As for the query, rail, smoky, thunder shouldn't be as much of an issue as short ranged turrets like isida, firebird and twins. Also, one protection is never enough, for starters I recommend you get the protection with rail+twins+firebird (forgot exact name), it will suit you allround.

Best smoky m3 kits are guardian, paladin and for rico it's redneck.

 

It would be better if you bought rico in stock though as kits with rico aren't that good.

Oh ok i was also thinking about buying rico seperate

[X-Toxical 174]

kodiak ta which is fire,thunder,rail or kodiak tc which is twins,thunder,rail

the protection in taiga kit(i have it) is really good and it’s fire, isida, and hammer,

[r_Issimo2 1,495]

You must have a Viking M2.10 now, so why do you want a Viking M3 kit? I'd go for Destroyer or Cardinal instead. I'm not sure about modules but I think Magnum will get a big nerf, the ridiculous Fire Alteration who knows?

[sensei_tanker 3,098]

Get an m3 turret/hull combo first and then think about your modules. The Magnums do get nastier at m3/m4 because people actually know how to use them at any range at these ranks, and they get even more OP.

The thing is - modules can be upgraded and used all the way to upper ranks. Unlike paints before separation, modules are only limited by the need to upgrade before your target-M-level is surpassed.

 

My alt has 2 m1 modules now - currently at 20%.  Plan on keeping them and upgrading all the way to M3+.

And will buy an m2 module when alt reaches correct rank.  Will upgrade that as well.

[RevengeAttacker 217]

I've noticed a weird effect in Isida, when you put the beam on opponent for a long time, and the beam connects, but barrly connects, It doesn't do any damage.

Should I buy cone angle m1 alt?

Yes, I have Viking M2/10 already.  I will buy the M3 kit because I can get it at rank #25 instead of having to wait till rank #27.  I will be a long time in ranking up those two ranks; 25 to 27.  I will probably be M4 by the time I get to rank #27 if I buy the kit.

 

I want the protection module to start MUing it at M2...it will come in handy now whatever it is.

That is really horrible news.  I hate Magnums.

 

I intend to hit the M3 scene at a full run.  I have enough crystals saved to buy Taiga and MU it to 10, maybe even 15 as soon as time allows.  The kit comes with a triple protection which I will do the 1st and maybe 2nd MU on, but I'd like to have another double or triple M2 protection fully MUed to 10 of my choice.  At rnk #27 it will turn into M3 and I can start pushing it to M4 as crystals allow.

I guess I worded my question wrong.  This is EXACTLY the information I'm really looking for.  Thank you for interrupting what I said into what you knew I meant.

If you want to, you should, but I suggest don’t get it unless it is really damaging your kills

[cow481 1]

Also, on my alt, I have the predator kit, will the fighter kit help me get to 3rd lieutenant without any other equipment?

[ThirdOnion 4,898]

No. Stick with Predator.

Indeed this is the EXACT information. You need protection against most common turret (common sense :P )

True that the same module can be upgraded and used in higher ranks but anything below 30% isn't worth the crystals at all, you can instead get their better "M" versions later on. M0/M1 modules are usually more expensive than any hull/turret of the same modification whereas they offer you negligible protection for that amount. Realistically, having ~20% protection doesn't do much, you may manage to barely save yourself from an attack, get lucky and manage to capture a flag/point but are these extremely rare incidences worth the price of a brand new turret? According to me, certainly not.

Depends. 

 

Since my alt at 2nd Lt. does not plan on buying new turret (or hull even) until M3 unlocks, I have plenty crystals to spend on MU-ing my m2 equipment and buying/upgrading modules.

I have M1 magnum 10/10 and M2 dictator 2/10... should I continue MUing dictator or get M2 magnum and MU it?

Go for dictator

Predator or Twins M2? I mid-attack
