I've been playing for a good while and I've managed to get along quite well in my Terran Republic Light Assault career; I'm getting a decent level of kills, taking out objectives pretty well, and I've even managed to land myself into a nice little outfit. But I still feel like I'm missing something.
There are many questions that I still have about my specific race and class (TR Light Assault), its capabilities and faults, its weapons, and how to set it up.
Question 1: I've been under the impression that Light Assault specializes in infantry combat, and that it is formidable in a face to face fight even though its jump jet advantage should be used to reach vantage points and be sneaky. On the other hand, people seem to act like light assault is weak in face to face encounters and should run from them. I don't know who to believe, though I stand my ground if someone gets the jump on me and I still manage to get out alive. Am I doing it wrong?
Question 2: In specific, as a
TR LIGHT ASSAULT, which weapon should I equip, and with what attachment? I've been deciding between the
Trac-5 S, assuming that due to its wide range of attachment capabilities I could make it extremely powerful; the
LC2 Lynx, for its high rate of fire and up-close killing capabilites, and the normal Trac-5. You know, because it's free and seems to work pretty well.
Question 3: How should I set up my loadout? Drifter Jump Jets or normal? Nanoweave armor or advanced shields? C4 or medkits? etc.
Again, I've been playing for a while; since beta actually. I've had these questions for quite some time and I keep getting unreliable answers from most people I ask. I appreciate your feedback and hopefully in the end this will make me a better soldier to serve my faction
