I am not in beta but I do plan to play PS when it goes retail and I was wondering what is a good weapon setup for a Vanu soldier? I dont want to go into battle with weapons that dont complement eachother well. So any suggestions would be appreciated.


Vanu > all

Reinforced with a lasher and a lancer allows you to engage just about any target at any distance. Whether you kill it or not is up to you and your squad, but the potential is there. Just about the only thing you're helpless against is someone at extreme range with a bolt driver--I haven't had trouble otherwise. I think that setup takes a minimum of BR9. At BR5 though, you can be doing just fine with pulsar/lancer. At BR2 you'd do well with a pulsar and an AP shotgun.

If you're playing agile, well, you can only do one thing--so you don't have to worry about your weapons complementing each other. Only your squad.

IMO the Lasher is extremely underrated as a heavy weapon. I've been very impressed with it. I personally have difficulty using the Lancer because of the half secong delay before firing it, BUT it does do outstanding damage on armored targets.

Why, a squad of course.

For base assaults get as many of ths trio together as possible...

AI MAX, AV MAX, engineer

For distance, get a bunch of Lancer's together.
