thanks i beleive i already have this up though :)

just a few things.

Someone mentioned this, but it cannot be stated enough...

Leave the mini Hellbugs alone during an "Destroy Crystal" arkfall. I cannot repeat this enough, as ppl still enjoy blasting away at them, or just firing rockets and grenade launchers at the crystal in a mass orgy of blood and lag...

The mini hellbugs bite the crystal, and thereby produce the soft spots on the crystal. Hit a regular part of the crystal, and you might do, say 40 dmg. Hit a soft spot, and you hit for 600ish.... Big difference...

Spam away with any kind of gun on the hard parts, and you wonder why you are out of ammo in less than a minute, and you will never get high up the dmg list... Be smart

TIme and time again, ppl clear out the skitterlings, and then there are no soft spots, and the timer goes down, with nobody getting much in way of rewards...

also, it was requested time and again during beta, and hopefully will be patched in, but common courtesy requests that players refrain from driving all over an arkfall in their cars when players are trying to fight. The game is getting better at placing ammo boxes near arkfalls, but we players still depend on the drops from mobs. Kill them with a vehicle, and you don't get loot... nuff said.. Pls STOP

also, While modding can be fun, it has been stated already that if you max out a weapon, you DO get a bonus from that weapon. However, you DO also stop earning experience from that weapon type, which you want to increase the overall bonus with any weapon from that type. It usually does not take too long to max out an individual weapon, anywhere from a few hrs to a day depending on playstyle. Therefore, modding can really be a waste of money if you are only going to change weapons very shortly. Just keep that in mind. It is not expensive, no, but can still add up.

all updates are welcome@!

I dont see the section on Data Recorders

Thought i might toss in a hint for Vehicle Time trials... (This is not Proven Nor Tested, but it seems to work for me)

Don't Waste Boost while in mid air, i don't think it helps at all in the air, wait until you hit the ground.

Have a little boost at all times so you can hit the refill checkpoints at full speed.

Don't Boost at all times, corners will kill you.

You don't have to hit the center of the ring in order for it to count, as long as you touch the checkpoint, it should work.

Like i said, not Tested nor proven. But i have my Black Challenger, so its proof enough for me.

I'd like to know, what's the required vehicle prof to get all Time Trials to Gold?

i would actually recommend overcharge for newbies as it provides that extra little bit of damage to get the job done but then again im veeerrryyy friendly with my roll and sprint keys where as some might like to crouch and aim alot
