So I'm currently level 26, raking in the kills with the Vespa, what's considered the 'best' gun / load out in the game?

I've no idea what the best gun and load out is but for me, I can hold my own with the Kuda, Grip and Silencer. I don't care much for the distance drop off you get with the silencer as I'm usually up close and in the thick of it anyway.

I don't use Assault Rifles so have a few Kuda variations and roll with a shotgun class too.
 
I just don't get this game sometimes, I get shot I flinch like crazy, I shoot people and get hitmarkers yet they manage land their shots perfectly and kill me without getting any flinch.

Then there's just running into people standing behind rocks 'covering' or as we used to call it headglitching waiting for you to run by and bloop, your dead. Ran into a whole team of douchebags last night doing that.
 
Still loving all the people who continue to moan about all the hit markers yet continue to play Core :p I tried Core again last night and had game and thought "eff that" and went back to HC.

Cheers, I wanted to post that but couldn't copypasta on my phone, hence the link :D


A few things I wanted to say, I'm probably preaching to the coir here but having recently discovered these things myself I thought it'd be cool to share:

Extended barrel or long barrel or whatever it's called is pretty much a must. It transforms every gun completely, adding damage, as explained here:


I haven't actually watched the vid but I tried the longer barrel on Drift0r's reputation alone and it works brilliantly, effectively turning my beloved Kuda into a mini AR but without the mobility hit.


Trophy systems will not only shoot down enemy grenades and tacticals, but also war machine grenades and hellstorm missles (!). They will not shoot down lightning strikes (all this discovered and proven by myself).

Challenges - if you go in to the Barracks and select challenges, you can see what you're closest to and work on it. This is how all those people who are already prestiged a few times are doing it. I was just playing game after game trying to level up, looking at my team who are already prestiged and amazed at home they did it. Once I looked at the challenges last night and did a few, I jumped quite a few levels, this was amplified by double XP - Win!

You can only change a care package once with engineer, regardless of how many people try.

On the topic of engineer, this perk is awesome. It allows you to have a second go on care packages, it highlights all enemy equipment, even flying stuff which is great when you want to shoot down enemy aircraft on a map which has poor visibility. Also helps spot campers, the tell-tale tripmine and shock charge being the biggest giveaway.

EMPs are crap compared to BO2, I have one class with them in case there's someone on the enemy team running Wall-E or GI Joe, they also take down the Talon but that's harder to hit as it moves so quick.

Feel free to share any more wisdom!
