Am I missing any other "must have" weapons?

    I'm trying to burn through my Alpha Squad gold on all the "must have" day-1 purchases. I got the anti-vehicle launcher for the HA, the skyguard for the lightning, and the rocket pods for the reaver. I was going to get the INF shotgun but I see they removed it.

    Did I cover all my bases for "must haves"? The only other thing I could think of is upgrading my sundy guns since I want to get AMS as soon as possible and with the higher base cert cost I feel like sundies need a bit more defensive firepower now than in beta

    An HA LMG that allows for compensator, soft point ammo, and forward grip.

    Personally, I'm a little disappointed with the skyguard... but then I didn't use it much in beta, so I guess i have nothing to compare it to.

    I don't know how often you MAX, but i would put either a 2nd burster, or 2nd scatter/variant arm on the list.

    and a gun on the front of your ATV depending on how often you're solo moving to bases.

    just a thought

    learn to be effective with the basic gear first instead of the current flavour of the month becuase yo find it hurts less when they nerf your favorite toys ;)

    I played beta extensively. I'm past that point, if you don't mind me saying

    then realise what are good weapons now may get nerfed with a balence patch if the whine reaches critcal mass on them and you will not get and SC refund if they nerf your toys.

    Well, if you ever like playing a MAX, get a second scattercannon (or scat variant). You will be an absolute monster indoors, trust me.

    You are correct, but SC is already money spent, and if I can get good use out of these weapons NOW before any sort of nerf then it's still money well spent, since if I didn't spend it on these things, what WOULD I spend it on? Decals? The next "to-be-nerfed" weapon of the week?

    I understand there's wisdom in frugality, but hoarding is just as bad as hedonism

    personally , I'd spend it on weapons that suit my style of gameplay regardless of their current "power", that way you'll always enjoy using them
