What to buy first for a Vanu?

Cody · 2012-12-15, 07:26 AM

Halo guys,

I am playing the Vanu and i already upgradet the sunderer to a spawn point and bought to sights for the heavy MG. Now i nearly have 100Certs and i don't know what to invest in. I love to play the medic and i thought about these 3 burst gun for 100certs, is this one good? or a grip for the heavy Mg/the medic weapon? what is the right choice? or what is a better investment?

thank you for answers
Cody

For a medic it would be good to spent certs into upgrading the medic tool. Guns are nice, but not a "must have". If you still have the lower stages of the medic tool to go for, go for it.
Also the vehicle ammo cert for the sunderer is nice and gives a good xp income when following tanks around.

There are 28 certifications that only cost 1 cert point each. Those should probably be your first purchase.
-first level of nanoweave armor for all non-MAX infantry classes
-first level of medic and engy tools
-first level of zoom optics for all vehicle weapons
-first level of extra ammo for all vehicle weapons

After that, there are a few nice things:
-Maximum level Medic tool is probably the biggest improvement over default for any certification, if you play Medic a lot definitely get this
-Equinox assault rifle (also for Medics) w/ underslung smoke grenades and night vision scope (see's through smoke)
-C4 on your Medic to have an offensive option against outdoor vehicles and indoor MAXs

If the 3 burst gun is what you needed, you would just know that you need it. Wouldn't have to ask.

Ammo/AMS Sunderers are great, but sometimes there are a lot of them around (because they're great). The game needs more people pulling Repair sundys.

I think you mean inferred or thermal scope (don't know official name)
that would be some weird night vision if it didn't pick up smoke.

I think it reads "HS/NV 1x", which I interpret as Heat Sensing/Night Vision.

If you play medic, cert the tool up as fast as possible. You can hold off on the last one or two. Upgrading it allows you to revive people in faster so you can easily grind certs by using just that. The higher the tool, the faster you can grind them. The max level tool revives to full health in just barely under a second, damn good for exp in huge battles.

First of all: thank you.
I have upgradet the medic-tool and it is very nice. But what next. I wants to have more output. And what should i buy for my Medic or the heavy for 100certs. I mean what for the weapon or maybe the next weapon?

I like to put the fore grip on automatic weapons to reduce horizontal recoil; makes long distance burst firing more viable.

Pulsar(Standardgun) is a awesome gun for the medic. So stick with it and build a forwardgrip under it.

Cert in Nano-Weave-Armor for your Medic, to get more HP.
Also Cert in Nane-Healing-Tool and cert in Nano-Regen-Aura for faster and better selfheal.

see, I was going to recommend a grenade...which you should immediately throw at your feet...

FOR THE REPUBLIC!

I've only put 1 point into nanoweave armor for all classes, and I think I may leave it at that.

With the amount of grenade spam currently present, Flak Armor seems like the better pick. If you're trying to rez people that just got naded, there's a good chance a 2nd nade will be arriving soon.
