Suggest some NC must buys, got SC cards for my bday

ColdCheese · 2013-02-10, 12:41 PM

Ok I have most of the fun goodies for my TR thanks to the 3x SC day, but my poor NC character was neglected. Now I got a few weapons worth of SC for my bday and want some fun blue toys to play with. Made my first Nc purchase yesterday, the 1/2 off scattercannons and they rock, now need something for my other classes.

I would hold off on buying anything for alternate toons til they flesh out their retroactive unlocks idea.

Hold onto the cards until they have another tripls sc day which I think is coming up on July 4th I believe.

GD-7F - This gun is really good. Not quite as good as the Lynx but definitely worth getting.

Shotgun - get either of the semi-autos ideally so you also have a good slug gun.

Cyclone - best gun for an inf, some people like it on other classes.

A new gun for your HA. One of these.
GD-22s - easy to use and cheap feels like an assault rifle.
Anchor - CQC gun with high DPS and high ROF
EM6 -best all around LMG for NC.

So the NC auto shotty equivalent to the Nighthawk isn't any good? I have the hawk and ive walked away from so many 1v1 and even 1v2 that its almost ez mode.

GD-7F for engi/LA
Annihilator for HA
Reaper DMR or Gauss Rifle S for Med
SMG for all classes, but more for infiltrator really.

Ranger for Sunderer (in case you roll AMSes)

Don't buy anything, because you are supposed to pick one faction and stay that way!

845 rpm = GD7-F

800 rpm = LC2 Lynx

???

Is there a question to his statement? You can't just associate rounds per minute with how good a weapon is as you seem to be doing. Then again, you do play terran, so perhaps you guys do. I judge a weapons effectiveness on rounds per minute, damage, recoil, accuracy, and available attachments (to compensate for any deficiencies).

Woah woah there, calm down. No reason to bash terrans, no reason to go on an accusational rant over a few words.

It was more of a question as to why the two weapons were being compared like that, as the GD7-F has the higher rate of fire and much different qualities than the lynx, and the lynx is certainly not the most favored TR weapon.

My apologies if my brief statement offended you, but I think you're over-reacting a bit.

This guy knows his stuff

GD-7F is by far my favorite gun in the game, not to mention it's a two-fer considering you get it on your engi and light assault. Cyclone is beast on infiltrator and isn't bad for other classes (ie LA). GD-22 is probably my second favorite gun as of right now.

As far as max goes, I actually prefer the hacksaws to the scatter cannon, but that's just me.

Are you spending much time in vehicles? If so:

Lightning - HE rounds - Holy moly domination
Reaver - Pods/Rotary
Liberator - Dalton/Tank Buster

Wasn't intended as bashing, just as playful ribbing. I do it to some of my steam friends who play terrans. Sorry if it came off wrong.
