Standard Ammor

DaCh3at · 2003-09-17, 11:18 AM

I need to know what some experts use in there standard ammor for N.C... In my Standard ammor i use 1 jackhammer, 1 Bank, 3 medic packs, 2 bank ammo, 1 rek, and 1 box of ammo.. This suit is possibly the best suit in P.S. for grunts who love the jack hammer.

I'm not NC, but I can still respond. I do not use Standard armor, if I can help it. As it has less armor than the Agile armor, which is readily available. So to respond to the question, what do you use in Standard armor? I use the standard config that the game gives me. Empire Pistol, Supressor, REK and rounds for my weapons, of which I can't say for certain, except the empire specific pistol, which has 50 rounds supplied to it.

Why do you use standard when you could use Agile?

I think he meant usual config, not standard armor....

Anyways, most grunts use Reinforced armor due to its extra rifle slot and larger inventroy space. The extra armor just counters the slight decrease in mobility, and from what I've heard, and the actual suit does not increase survivability for the most part.

I use Agile in fights, but I'm primaraly an infiltrator, and only fight when I have to. Many people combine Agile, Surge, and the Jackhammer for indoor fights. Shotguns are an NC's best friend indoors.

No health packs?

You don't have enough room in agile armor to afford helth packs.

I always brought one or two along in every config

I always just steal health packs from the people that never get to use them in time (which is why I don't get them at the terminals to) and of course I always have a sniper in my config cause there always seems like a great range between one enemy.

I don't run with standard or agile too often. Maybe if I'm piloting I'll have agile. Other than that, I'm always reinforced. I don't carry med packs, because I'm a pilot. I usually go down with my vehicle. And if I don't, I have Adv Regen.

No health packs. It's generally not worth it to me. Being a sniper I usually try to find good cover and hopefully get somewhere where I won't be seen. I'd guess 75% of my deaths are from other snipers. You need a lot of health packs to recover from a sniper round. The other deaths are usually mosquitoes or reavers. Unless you have a building to hide in or AA support, you are already dead my friend. No matter how many health packs you have.
Generally, if I'm doing my job right I'll need more ammo before I need more health.

I meant the suit you spawn in guys.. well anyways the only reason i brought this up is because i have a tr on markov and i always see cr5s running around in spawn armor with jackhammers and since i killed one of them i found out what they used and fixed it to my play style.. i use this suit for clearing out halls in medium fights.. with say about 40 to 50 nmes in building.. the suit is for some reason is faster then a cloaker suit when surge added.. well just my 2 cents.

Flammey · 2003-09-22, 11:45 PM

I never run around in the suit I spawn in, if I can help it. It blows, dude.

DaCh3at, you should try to use Agile or Re eXo for a while, I'm pretty sure you'll like it. As soon as I read that you used Standard armor, and that you used it for medium fights and clearing hallways, I have NEVER laughed so hard, and I saw the Star Wars kid video. If you use standard becouse it's faster then you need help. Becouse it's not much faster than Agile, and it doesn't have as much space. I see CR 5s runnning around all the time with standard on, it's becouse the terms are down, or the Gens down, or they just forgot. Every time I see somebody in Standard I /tell them "You forgot your gear" NOBODY has ever said they meant to stay in standard. Just do me a favor, try Re Exo out for a week or two, at least Agile, and you'll love the difference.
