How would one get into PUGs and what would I need to have unlocked ~ Pathfinder/Capper/Chaser wise?

PUGs occur most nights on the spinfusor mumble server. You need to decide on which position you prefer to play, I.e., Light/Medium/Heavy Offense / Defense or specialist: Sniper, Chaser or Capper. If you're new I would stick with Light/Medium Offense/Defense of which the Soldier, Raider and/or Infiltrator are prefered. The loadout will depend on specifically which role you want to play.

I think there is a video on how to play CTF which explains the roles.
 
Oh I'm not exactly new, I played for about a month or two during beta and saw it on Steam the other day, decided to give it another go.

I just wanted to know upgrade wise what kind of things I'd need unlocked to play in PUGs, I do prefer the capper role, but I don't mind chasing. I've just been playing pub, I don't know much about the TA competitive scene.

I have fully upgrade impact nitrons, energy recharge, 1 upgrade to go on armour, 1 upgrade to go on egocentric.

Will probably start on Reach perk once I've done armour/egocentric.
 
Need mumble basically. We can explain later if you wanna pug. For capping you should be able to grab at 270kph+ on crossfire, arx, dry dock. Maybe we could run 2 cappers if your new. U need thrust pack and light assault rifle with normal nitrons and armour fully upgraded. Reach and egocentric for capping and chasing also. If your around tonight we should be able to get into your first pug.

Jim did muler mention who we were playing?

Samsung is a capper so I won't add any more. My point was is that the perks that you run will be dependant on the class and role that you play. For instance you may want to run Rage and Lightweight for the chaser role, while as a capper you need to run egocentric and reach.

I'm afraid that even in PUGs Samsung is correct that you need to be able to consistently grab at 270+ while also calling out the time to grab so that offense can coordinate. I love capping myself but you need a high level of consistency if you're going to PUG.

If you have your heart set on capping later maybe you can sit in the teams mumble and spectat me capping in a pug to get a feel of what's required. Will hear what needs to be said to your offensive players as they are there for you. If you would rather go straight into a pug and try capping I can be on your team so can help out if needed. Up to you really. Have you found the mumble details?
 
Thanks for the advice. :D

I think going from this chaser looks more appealing to me, would thrust still be needed as a chaser? and I assume bolt launcher + LAR would be better for a chaser.

is this game worth the download? might have to give it a try

It's a free game, and just so happens to be the most skilled and original FPS titles on the market in the past six or so years.

You have nothing to loose, just give it a try.

I personally have been waiting for an FPS game like this for as long as I can remember.
