Orion and SVA-88 are both very good choices, but there really is no terrible VS LMG. Just try them all out and find what you like.

I was running around with SVA-88 for last hour or so and in general it is okay, I just wonder whether if there is something with more kick to it.

So has anybody found out if the boosts are applied to new characters as well as existing ones?

Pulsar LSW isn't terrible but it's an uninspiring gun without good attachments, amazing accuracy, or 0.75 ADS.

Ursa is ok if you like decent accuracy but really low DPS.

Rest are good to great to everyone bitches about it on the forums.

They are not, a guy in my outfit made a fresh character today and has no free boost.

You should try the Flare, it has more stopping power and a hefty magazine size. The recoil can be intimidating but I find once you put a grip on it it becomes pretty predictable.

There is no reason to give a poo poo about alerts. Good fights don't magically appear when an alert starts and when a continent locks it ruins fights by forcing everyone to another continent.

The only stats that matter are Honks/per hour and how sexy you look in your camo/hats/lumifibre.

Field report - very nice, very nice compared to SVA-88. Soft bullets + grip make up for a very pleasant shooting experience.

A slow death at the hands of SOE execs that refuse to give this game more than 10 devs.

I wonder how much more popular it would be if they priced everything down to not "gently caress you" levels? $7 for a gun for one character on one faction is kinda bullshit expensive. The only guns I buy are NS ones, and that's only because they get the special bonus of being for all factions. If they wanted it to be 7-10 a gun, it should unlocked the other empire's relative guns. I would buy tons of guns if they were like 3 bucks each. Camos are just as balls out crazy. $5, or sometimes $10, is out of this loving world. They would get so much more out of me if I didn't feel the sting of buying something. Who the hell though making everything so expensive what a bright idea? It's too late now to change the pricing model though, so welp.

The Orion. Engage within 30m (still capable beyond this if needed), burst fire in 5-6 rounds, ADAD, and use a 1x scope, grip. Be a corner whore, try to stay indoors and control your engagements by letting enemies funnel into your lane of fire. Aim for the head/neck. By doing this it will outperform almost every LMG in the game in terms of infantry combat. There are circumstances where you could make a case for other LMG's (mid range, or needing large mags to farm lots of bads), but in my opinion, if you keep yourself in situations where the Orion shines there is nothing quite as good. The MSW-R and Anchor each have their redeeming qualities but there's a reason that many infantry spergs worship the Orion.

Ultimately you will gain mastery by trying them all. And if you really like VS, get the Beetelgeuse (directive LMG) which is a heat-mechanic Orion, and is the new farming toy of choice for many since you can function without any support until you run out of medkits.

I agree that most items in this game are too expensive. Frustratingly so when you are a new player. But my advice is to stick to default weapons, learn how to play with a high SPM, and buy all your weapons with certs. Save your SC for daily sales and wait for that camo or lumifiber to be cheap. On my TR character I maybe bought 2 weapons, and have unlocked every single available weapon otherwise with certs.

Oh, yes, I follow this exactly already. The only reason I actually play this game is because they showed mercy and made a cert worth 250 xp rather than the 500 and 1000 before that. That was like pulling teeth just to get a grip for a gun. Especially since there was no xp boost from alerts to make things easier as well.

I've got my eye on like 10 different camos, but there's no way I'd be able to buy them all. And I want to trick out my vanguard with spikes and hood ornaments.

Lord Higby, get on it. lower the prices.

I remember when making 20k/hr with full boosts was about as good as most people could hope to get without using prenerf libs and ESFs. These days if you aren't making at least double that with only the membership boost you are doing poorly.

When you get comfortable enough with it, say 3-400 kills, swap out the grip for ex. mags

150 rounds of 167 damage bullets before reloading might sound excessive, but it loving owns more than you can possibly imagine.

And all vehicles were only 100 certs, and there weren't ribbons or bonuses, and no guns except the burst variants were <1000certs. Man how did we put up with that? New players now have it so much better

Don't do this, the Flare has retarded horizontal tolerance.
