Are alterations worth buying in the upcoming sales?

[MisterWilly 2]

They recently got a huge jump in price but are available for all the ranks, I saved 150k for the plasma torch and ricochet mk5 but I can buy many more mk5s if I skip the alteration. Is it worth the trade off or just an overpriced alteration I should try my luck with the 3 containers I get every week, I doubt i'll get it that way though

What is your current fav turret?

And your gameplay? attack, defences? Particular battle mode?

Do parkour?

I play low range battles mostly, but the mode I spent most of my time is parkour. I play MM for daily/weekly challenges only so that's negligible. My favorite turret for now is gauss, but it will be ricochet if I get plasma torch.

Gauss has only one augments and only with cash. Then you need to think about which augment would be useful for parkour. Better ask your question on the parkour topic. Plasma torch seems a good one.

I would recommend trying it on test servers first, when they are open to the public (which I believe they are now). Plasma torch is a pretty cool alteration, but its disadvantages are quite significant. Basically turns Ricochet into a melee range turret like Firebird.

The main problem with it that you can destroy max 1 tank with it befire you ran out of energy, and reload is long.

Depends on the kind of tank, but yes. The advantage is that you destroy it much faster and can then take the time to reload while you're on your way to meet more enemies.

True, but a real melee range turret is much better. Maybe there should be a buff to plasma. Just watch I&S in the upcoming days .

actually it has quite an advantage over firebird and freeze .u can shoot them from safety as ur range is still more than theirs .the density of the balls make it harder for them to approach u .ya the reloads frustating .but its worth it .plasmatorch is outstanding on attack but people don't undersatnd its defensive potential .u can destroy any tank trying to take ur flag easily .when in a narrow tunnel ,shooting the whole clip can prevent anyone from using that for some while .but yeah i'd like the reload to be a bit faster

If you really want an augment for a specific turret (or hull) and you can (easily) afford it, I am convinced you should buy it

[NooNooHead 121]

From my experience, it is more effective to change a turret type in a battle depending on the protection scheme of the enemies. If you really like a particular turret type, then you should get the alteration. Otherwise, get a few turrets and get good at them.

IMO most alterations are overrated and now they are more expensive than before. Alterations are also not immune to being nerfed (uranium and duplet).

The best ones I have are compact tanks, large caliber rounds, electromagnetic accelerator scout and the mortar alt. Never use any of the others.

[Thomas11239 366]

Well, most alterations have become more than a different version of a weapon. They have become a better version of it. Since prices increased, most alterations have been upgraded and I would definitely recommend you buying one. Just make sure to buy one that works for you, because as you said, they're quite costly.
