Hi I have been playing for a while I have a fairly decent armour the purple stuff and a decent gun with boost and lazer + scope I wanted to know what armour and weapons I should look at getting so I can take out some more robots I can get the Drone 1, 2 ,3 ,4 but end up getting battered by the others so anyone have some great armor to sell or advice on what armour to get and the same for weapons thanks Mike
For bots vigilante + 6a-plates are great. No need to get afraid if you're getting tanked by some 06-07 drones, they will damage you with 1.0 shots. Some rifle/pistol with damage/sec more than 20 will be suitable in my opinion. BLP-pistols from svempa s60, laser-pistols from korss 350/380 and rifles from breer m2a/m3a upwards. In my opinion.
Thanks for the advice guys I understand the armor vigilante anyone have some for sale? what price would I be looking at ? the weapons I have not heard of so again any idea on prices are there any shops that sell weapons thanks again Mike
vigi armour is getting expensive, you can take bots down with shogun (although not as good as vigi) and some plates for a lot less peds...... depends on how much you wanna spend.....
I curently have gremlin and looking at the stats It seems thats pretty good already, I am trying to get some more plates its £50 = 995 peds with the dollar being low I get a good return on my pound I have about 3000 ped I could spend ;) Vigilante192,50 63,014,014,07,035,014,00,014,028,00,00,00,02550 Gremlin399,30 67,011,09,015,035,00,00,012,012,06,012,02,02950 thanks
I use ghost with 5b plates and it works out very nicely for bots up to about drone 08. As for weapons -I'm exploring SIB at the moment (see our SIB guide) - see my thread for what I discover!
gremlin and ghost are good all round armour, and 5b plates are the way to go but they are expensive (tt+230ish X6 ) vigi is really specialised for bots although ok against other mobs to, i use mine with 6a plates and only use it against bots. with 3k peds to play with i would get a long range (marber bravo) rifle to "tag" the target you want and get a good fap, emt 2350 is quick to use and not too expensive a lot depends on your skills, if there lowish as mine are, you will have high decay on "better and bigger" equipment.... just my thoughts,
Full vigilante M set is going for tt+400-500 nowadays, full set of 6a-set would be something like tt+20-25 x 6. 5b-plates don't help with drones but ghost + 5b is very good with all the other mobs that do other damage types than burn & penetration. Shogun or gremlin with 6a-plates will be sufficient for any drone in my opinion. Good gun is a must, without it you'll spend most of your peds while repairing the armor & fap. Breer m3a with a101 or a102 laser amp will do fine against low-level bots, breer m4a even better if you can find one cheap. Personally I use Geotrek AL15 Taurus and low-level drones hardly reach me when they are fully down. All the troopers and warriors are no problem either. Your choice of gun depends mainly from your skills it seems. We can recommend some guns if you post your professional standings from combat-section. I mean laser sniper (hit) & ranged laser (dmg). Or blp if you're into blp-guns instead.
Im used to have two different kinds of armor. I use Vigi +6a plates for bots and ghost and 5a plates (would like have 5b but cannot afford at the moment) for all other mobs. Honestly changing armor in combat is not the best, so I try to avoid it. Overall I'm very comfortable with those two armors. I think it will take some time until I will buy a new one. Cheers
I sold my Ghost armour got TT +12 for most of it I have Gremlin with 6a plates seems good protection. weapons I have a103 amp Granedier Scope and laser sight ussing a Justifier mk2 I did get a Breer m3a and added the amp lazer and scope but the range is only 60 max with the justifier I get 65 - 69 range although it uses 10 rounds what do you need for those pesky spiders ?
A rocket launcher and about 1000HP with Supremacy and 6a Plates on and Entropia Master on Evader. :-P PS. Yawn, nice dream... Back to reality :(
A fondness for laying dead on the ground saying oooOOOoooOOOooo to anybody nearby? [help] :hehe: It is possible to kill araneatrox solo, if you keep TP chip jumping back to the spider, shoot, die, revive, TP jump, shoot, die, etc etc. Things to avoid would be other colonists trying to kill the spider while you are reviving, or running the spider within range of a turret gun. In a team it is possible to kill spiders using your strength of numbers, as the spider cannot attack all colonists at the same time. To hunt them solo without being killed, I think you would need high skills/big fast weapons/big fast FAP pack/big bad-ass armour, which I think excludes most people on Calypso. :cough:
