Let's not start this here. Why hate on someone liking a show when APB provides its players with so much raw, unrefined hate from practically every orifice? For instance: gently caress the Scout. I picked up the valentines HVR because sometimes in the Baylan fight club, the opposition will decide to all go HVRs and just take turns pinning your down and loving you with sniper rifle fire from every angle. So, wanting to level the playing field while progressing my Valentines role, I opened up armas, grabbed the sniper rifle and... yeah, it's a Scout. Been a while since I used one of these! Since APB began its closed beta in its original form back under RTW's rule I've devoted most of my time to playing as a sniper, but as days go by I've steadily been getting worse at it (And incidentally better at medium range, which is why I love the STAR so much). Still, now and again when the team needs help I'll pick up a NHVR and get to work seeing if I can tag anyone. I love the fact that if you hit someone once, they'll feel it for a good long time, generally enough for your teammates to mop them up. Not so with the Scout. It's a great gun if you're consistently accurate: Two shots will kill. Consistency is not an attribute that will be associated with me anytime soon. At best, if the target isn't a complete idiot and is making every attempt to not be hit, I'll score the first shot, miss the second shot and potentially hit them with a third. With the base N-HVR, this is fine: The amount someone regenerates won't be enough to keep them from dying. With the scout, if your target is using Clotting Agent 3 (And who isn't these days) and you miss the second shot, you can forget it. They'll have regenned just enough health to allow them to survive even if you let up for just a second, whereupon they'll gently caress off into the sunset and you'll never see them again before someone comes up behind you and takes your head off. It's frustrating that I was saddled with the Scout because me and that gun do not get on at all. I understand that the tradeoff in firepower is due to the huge amount of mobility it gives you, I'm absolutely fine with that, but I've never seen the need to sprint with a sniper rifle. I like sitting my arse down in a place I know is a good sniping spot and using a gun that allows me to do substantial damage to the enemy. I can see why they didn't include a lot of the basic guns as valentines variants, mind, the valentines guns are basically cheap advertisements for existing Armas weapons. I'm not complaining, I've had a ball with my valentines tommy gun and I did manage to get some good kills with the scout, but man am I glad to be able to go back to one of my favourite guns when that situation arises again. I'm not kidding when I say I'd rather use the DMR than the Scout.

Today I decided to get a Vaquero. I was at level 3 with Saul so I just needed to get about 2.5k standing to buy my little Jeep thing. Should have been easy! Alas, no. It took me 3 missions against aimbotters (well, one aimbotter 3 times) to get that 2.5k standing I needed (with premium) because I could not get anyone my level. Im never playing not-Fight Club ever again. Every mission was 3+ golds against a mixed team of silvers and bronze. At one point we were getting our asses kicked badly (they had about 40 kills to our 1) and it gave them backup of three gold players because they were down by one man. We had two silvers, two bronze.  At least I got my jeep that I cant customize at all because none of the parts are unlocked.

This is probably a dumb question, but aren't SMGs supposed to beat rifles at close range? I am perpetually getting dusted by people with the AK-47 knock-off up close when we both catch sight and open fire at about the same time.

Not necessarily. The AK has the same killing speed as the OCA. If you luck out (which isn't all that lucky at close range) and full auto 6 shots into someone, they die in .7 seconds.blackteapot posted:So am I understanding it right that everything but tier 1 guns are rentals unless you want to pay like $50 for them? Can you not compete with rental or RMT guns with your starter level guns? All in-game guns are rentals unless you buy a permanent cash shop gun. No cash shop gun is just better than their non cash shop counterpart except for the colby shotgun, which is marginally better than a 2 slot JG with Improved Rifling/reflex sight. Also the HVR scout is only available via cash shop or retail box, which I think is better than the HVR, but that's debatable. Secret Sweater fucked around with this message at 19:14 on Feb 14, 2012 |

The Scout is a definite upgrade in terms of functionality. You can sprint with it, you can lean out of a car with it, and you can jump-shot with it. However, it only does about 60% damage to a player's health so if you're a bad shot it will take 3 or more shots to kill. Also a note about jump-shotting, the same "bug" occurs with the silenced HVR but they're going to fix it. They consider the jump-shot for the Scout a feature now I guess and can't decide if they want to fix it. The Armas Scouts have mediocre mods but the retail package got me one with Cooling Jacket 3 on it meaning I have a 2 shot sniper that kills faster than practically any other sniper. Fake edit: The CSG is a direct upgrade there's no contest

I've gotten maybe one kill doing so in a few weeks. Jump shotting is staying for now according to the devs. Being able to sprint without pistol swapping is loving huge.

So my local Best Buy had a copy of APB Reloaded and I couldn't resist. Best part is when I realized I get 500 g1 credits, bought a Choppa, and proceeded to descend into a crazed lunacy. That gun is Un. loving. Believable. Anyone who complains about recoil is a scrub.

Well, the character is Issac from the game "Binding of Issac" who's a young boy who runs around naked so I don't believe he's gonna be well endowed. But I agree, he's Ken as gently caress. But excellent work on the models, Captain Swing! VV Cabbit VV I hear you. I felt kind of lazy making my business/professional outfit for my character, but I like it. So many characters in this game have such "messy" and "noisy" outfits, really stretching the customization limit (not saying this is particularly bad).

You can try doing this, but the APB Effect will get to you eventually and you'll wind up covering it in graffiti, swear words, or it'll wind up pink. It might even do all of them at the same time.
