Sorry ill explain better.

You told us the best way to level 4 weapon classes and the best weapon for each class to level eg:sawed off shotgun: courier

What im asking is which weapon is best to use in all the other classes of guns eg:infectors: canker..

And what farming method you used to level the other gun skill classes?

Why does the PVP suck so bad? Did they not try it out first?

Alright, here it is!



Go to big stone reach and find the mission "Saving Echelon". Save the four mercs, then go to the hole in the northern wall, wait there for two and a half minutes, and then EGO will say "Careful! We've got a lot more hellbugs on their way!"

At this point, a wave of 10 skitterlings will spawn, kill them, and they respawn a few seconds later.

I will note, that weapon experience in based on damage done, and that overkill damage counts to weapon experience. Dealing 2,000 damage to 10 skitterlings will give 20,000 weapon exp. As a result, Stack most of the +ego and +explosive perks at once, respec if necessary. You should be able to keep overcharge constantly going as well as dealing 2,000 damage or more per shot.

This works best with explosive weapons (some explosive weapons don't benefit from explosive perks like the clustershot or courier, even though they are still the best ways to level those weapon types)

The following weapons work best for each skill type. You mainly want high damage with a large explosive radius.

Launchers - Rocket pod, Longshot Cannon, Armada
Detonators - Big boomer, Grenade launcher
Combat Shotguns - Clustershot
Sawed-off Shotguns - Courier

Dude, you're awesome.

do you have any tips for destroying enemy vehicles in shadow wars?

I may be able to answer this one. Use a weapon like the Derailer or VOT Breaker Cannon and take the "Wrecking Ball" perk up to rank III (it's near blur). You can also combine it with powers like cloak and overcharge, but that really isn't necessary.

With that kind of build, you'll be able to one shot all of the 4 wheelers and it will only take a few shots to destroy a Cerberus. I recommend camping outside of the middle capture point in a Shadow War where people are flying in constantly on their ATVs. You can get upwards of 30 Vehicle destructions in a match.

Derailer and breaker cannon are anti-vehicle weapons. There is a perk that deals large amounts of bonus damage to vehicles as well.

If you don't want to bother with that, a SAW will tear up vehicles with ease.

There's been a number of discussion regarding whether or not it's possible to get more than 2600 EGO from XP alone -- that is, if it's possible to still get EGO from XP once you have enough EGO points to fill the EGO grid.

Care to chime in?

After getting me 260th EGO level up, I no longer receive experience or have an experience bar. I heard some other players were capable of leveling up after getting their 260th level, but that has been patched I'm pretty sure, or I didn't hear what happened correctly.

And what farming method you used to level the other gun skill classes?

Assault Rifles - VBI Assault Rifle (Can be bought at vendors easily, not a huge difference between most of them)
Sub-Machine Guns - VOT Pulsar (Can be bought at vendors easily, not a huge difference between most of them)
Light Machine Guns - FRC SAW / Frontier SAW
Combat Shotguns - Clustershot (If using hole in the wall method)
Pump Shotguns - Any of the non-slug firing shotguns is almost as good as the others, it varies a bit on playstyle though.
Sawed Off Shotguns - Courier (If using hole in the wall method), otherwise, use a Nano Fragger.
Bolt Action Sniper Rifles - VOT Bolter (Faster firing rate lets you pump out more damage than other bolt rifles)
Semi Auto Sniper Rifles - Quick Repeater (The lightweight frame one)
Pistols - Wolverine or Blaster (Wolverine is better, but the Blaster can be readily bought at vendors)
Rocket Launchers - Rocket Pod, Longshot Cannon, Armada (If using hole in the wall method)
Detonators - Big Boomer (Definately the best, but hard to get a hold of lots of these), VBI Grenade launcher
Infectors - Canker (Avoid semi-autos and the incubator)
BMGs - Telespanner (If you plan to level BMGs, hoard up a lot of these)

Using the hulker at Project Aegis part 1, and San quentin are both popular choices for leveling weapons. By standing on certain terrain (like static vehicles) you can make the hulker get stuck and they won't attack you.

I may make a video for leveling BMGs

Why does the PVP suck so bad? Did they not try it out first?

This is primarily a PvE game, and perks do not appear to have been tested for PvP very much. With the recent staff layoffs at Trion, I doubt we will see PvP get balanced for a long time.

Can you recommend me a good bolt action rifle stronger then my 1360 or 1310 not sure and where do i get it. What mods should i attach to it? Another sniper loadout for me. Also the quickest way for me to complete the pursuit snipe from shadows?

[Grant]

I'm a fan of Assault Rifles. Could you explain what is the difference in stats between VBI Assault Rifle and EMC Service Rifle and which one is better, and why is better?

[WhiteCell]

Madog claims to have 32 days of played time.

Given there is no afk timer or such, you could easily leave yourself logged in and rack up near constant play time without actually playing. So take these numbers with a grain of salt.

So what you're trying to say is that Defiance isn't a second full time job for you, instead idling Defiance is a second job.

Got ya.

There is no higher damage sniper rifle.

Most important mod will be either +crit barrel or +dam barrel, depends on whether you like body shots or headshots more.

You shouldn't need any help on snipe from shadows, it's all self explanatory.

There is no difference, they just have different names.

[Grant]

Don't know what is at your ego rating, at mine EMC Service Rifle has better critical multiplier and magazine capicity. Also it's shooting with fire nano effects. I'm 1450 ego rating and at this point EMC Service Rifle is better.

Still hard to say what is better - Frontier Saw LMG or EMC Service/VBI Assault Rifle. Or VOT Assault Rifle. Each has some advantages and disadvantages. I would go with EMC Service Rifle, lowest damage but decent fire rate and high capacity of magazine.

Edit: I asked you because I was curious if there is anything I didn't notice about VBI Assault Rifle.

From your experience, what is the "base" scrip value for each legendary weapon category (how much scrip do people usually want to spend for an orange gun)?

I'm just looking for an approximate value for each weapon category (bmg/pistol/smg/lmg/ar/rocket/guided/infector/gl/sa sniper/ba sniper), not a value for every weapon variant (matchlock/big boom/ground pounder/auto lobber/etc).

-Ex: I've seen people spend between A-B scrips to purchase an orange pistol-
