[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;30196761]The Stabba isn't moddable.[/QUOTE] Fast reload modded stabba pig is there. edit: [QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;30197386]Nooooo. SMG's are so cheap.[/QUOTE] Also no, any weapon can be considered "cheap" if the current location and the players choices suit it. Sniper rifles are cheap if you face them at very long ranges. Assault rifles are cheap if you engage them from medium range. Shotguns are cheap if someone jumps you from around a corner and empties his red star. Smgs are the shittest shit if you dont let the enemy surprise you or get close.

What mods do you think I'd need to buy to make the N-TEC more like STAR? The run and gun function in the N-TEC is shittier than anything, so I guess I'd need the reflex sight II or III atleast? Now that I think about it, can you have Hunting sight AND the reflex sight mods in the same gun?

I like LMGs.

Grenade launchers are cheap in long range environments, and enclosed spaces, and against vehicles.

Every game has a weapon that everyone whines about. Oh boy people, grow up.

Any other weapon you can escape from, my OBIR is built for long range combat, I can't drop you in half a second with it. Oh, and Snipers / OBIR / Etc actually take skill to use, in that you have to know how to make the shots go where you want them to go, rather than simply planting them everywhere. Plus when you end up fighting over an objective, as I said, if someone has an SMG, it's over. SMG's are just not balanced very well. [editline]2nd June 2011[/editline] The only hard counter to an SMG is another SMG and an advantage.

I bought a revolver just to fill the gap between long and short range with my SMG.

Goddamn, it pisses me off that enforcers can goto the criminals contacts and just camp there and wait for people with stolen shit. They should makes those a sort of 'safe zone' for both sides, in all honesty an enforcer would get shot up just walking near a hideout like that, let alone just sit in the doorway....

SMGs are only good at close range and shotguns can out-gun SMGs in close range too.

[QUOTE=PaChIrA;30197801]Anyone know how to change clothes without the wardrobe thingy? There are people in the tut district (made a crim) without the ugly starter uniform. Ah well doesn't matter, I beat the tut in like 1 minute.[/QUOTE] It is possible that they never opted to do the tutorial and just customized first.

[QUOTE=Nohj;30199581]It is possible that they never opted to do the tutorial and just customized first.[/QUOTE] You can just switch to social during the tutorial, do your shit back and switch back to a tutorial district.

[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;30197537]I meant cheap as in they lack anything resembling skill to use and you can just spray your way to the top with them.[/QUOTE] I was once in a 4v2. I was the 2 they were the 4. They all had PMGs and we were in close quarters. It was a nightmare.

Does anyone have any reliable information on whether damaging certain parts of a character do more/less damage? I'm aiming for heads always but have been told it makes no difference, it didn't make a difference prior to administration but maybe they fiddled with it a bit?

Im using an NTEC until I get a good enough pistol to fill the range gap

There's just one big box around the characters and if a bullet hits any part of that, it does damage. A foot shot is the same as a head shot.

I think he meant that he's taking a break from whatever weapon he was using before because it had a range gap (probably SMG). So he's using an NTEC until he gets a revolver.

Is there some tutorial on how to customize your character or something? I just did a bunch of tutorial missions and got some new clothes but I have no idea where to change clothes and stuff. Sorry If I'm missing something obvious.

[editline]2nd June 2011[/editline] N-TEC has a range gap? That's news to me.[/QUOTE] Not true. I tried it with a friend with ntec and shot to the foot would practically do no damage or just slight damage, while shot to the head would probably take 60%, screen was pretty dark and bloody.

I remember playing vs SMG guy with 1-2 mods in it, and it was impossible to do objectives. He would just drive to me, get out, unload whole magazine in 2 secs, 1 sec reload, 2nd magazine. There's no way to hide, unless you want to camp on roof which would make you lose the match. And don't go saying I should engage him at medlong range, because he would just get in his modded car and drive closer. SMGs are OP because of their fire rate being so fast that if someone made a graph with DPS values, I bet SMGs would be on top. Only rival is probably Ntec.

Well, I just started and I've got to say, this game is hard! My STARter weapons are so crappy against everyone elses and I've only got like $300. And everytime I get a mission, I end up bloody crashing!

I don't know how you managed to achieve those results, but hit-detection in APB does not work like that.

Only shotguns can out-gun SMGs because they're also guns that are specifically for close-range fights. If you just run at someone who has an SMG and keep firing at them with your shotgun, of course you'll die. If you actually use cover, you can easily kill an SMG user, because he'll only be able to land a few shots at you, which is not nearly enough to kill with an SMG, while it's fully enough with a shotgun. And SMGs are mostly useless at even medium-range so I don't see why is a close range gun being good in close range a problem.

Sorry If I'm missing something obvious.[/QUOTE] You have to go to the social district where there are clothes changers/vendors among other things. Just select clothes kiosk on the mini map and you'll find them.

does this look okay for a criminal? most people I see have their pants on their knees and walk around without a top and with a backwards baseball cap [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/Naamloos28.png[/img]

That's pretty cool.

Captain underpants. :v:

Can you take one with names please? I think those are way mroe hilarious, cause you guys probably are named "NotAJew12"

Dont be silly. We are all named our normal names. People enjoy killing nazis, it gives them a smug sense of satisfaction.

Hey, guess what. Making nazi characters got old and fucking stupid way back in the old APB beta. [editline]2nd June 2011[/editline] Plus, that shit can get you banned.

It is pretty silly, and I don't wear any swastikas on my dude personally. But uh, in terms of style I prefer having a team of militaried up dudes 100% more than the standard baggy pants look. Tasteless humour aside, do any of you actually play on the patriot server? It seems a bit more chill than the first EU one.
