its just experience for the most part - knowing what range a gun will reliably land shots at no matter what the crosshairs show, knowing when to push with riskier strategies (like using a gun when its inaccurate), how to manage spread and bloom in general, and how to effectively counter your opponents weapons unfortunately that means there's no real shortcut, you just have to put the time in to learn the game there are a few "pick up and play" weapons in apb that can be effective immediately, but they're generally balanced out by being worse (either statistically or through a lower skill ceiling) than more "skilled" weapons, so in the long run its better for you to rack up experience than cheese off guns with limited potential as for tips i think the biggest one would be to settle on a primary (i would suggest the ntec5 or the obeya cr762 so that you have more all-round capability, but really any gun will do) and really commit to mastering it, only then move on to another gun keep the starting fbw - its easily tied as the best secondary in the game, its free, its permanent, and the need to fire it at a set speed to get maximum effectiveness will help you when it comes to other weapons

i'd wager a decent portion of the younger audience thinks its cooler to be a criminal than a glorified mall cop based on the new character screen descriptions, so there's likely a slightly larger amount of less-skilled players on the crim side that plus you naturally paying attention to one faction more than the other, either because they're opposition or teammates, is enough to give the impresssion of a significant imbalance

my prediction - most people using the ntec will just move to a different gun, which you will then also complain about being too good can't wait

what's a gm? :^)

lmao nice

gifting was removed like 2 years ago, where you been m8

that's literally what i just said wtf

well then its a good thing you aren't in charge then

colorbots can ping on names (and name colored titles) as well since they can be the same color as the red crosshair

dont forget a certain kev 3 lmg player using spcm as an excuse to dethreat and stomp new players

it’s especially annoying during the halloween event where a lot of the time it’s a several vs 1 situation, because there’s so many names clumped together its impossible to “just read them” - hard to tell if you’re shooting at a friendly with a red title or a red enemy buried in teammates

imo it’s likely that they’re going to do the server unification before we get any more news on the name wipe, otherwise there’s too much potential for conflicts

can it make everything greyscale except for a specific red color code? asking for a friend :^)

no

yes

no

apologies™

it’s not about your threat it’s about their threat the system sets an expectation for every players performance each match, when those low threat players exceed that expectation (by a large margin i would assume) because you go easy on them it causes significant threat increases

assuming that f2p players are more likely to be buying jt guns they only get 30 minute armas trials, that’s not really enough time to actually evaluate a weapon imo i wish orbit had kept the 7 day leases in the jt store

i abandon every unopposed mission when playing solo, if the matchmaking couldnt find opp for my team then i'd rather be back in the pool

ok im on it

and there’s inevitably a point out in the open or a location with 360 degree visibility, we can all come up with “impossible” hypotheticals if we try hard enough

where is the false equivalence? knowing a jg is holding a corner and still rushing him is no different than knowing an hvr is watching and still leaving cover, intentionally giving your opponent an advantage is just dumb any way you spin it idk why the oca nerf came up, but it required a “nerf” (more like a revert really) because it invalidated every other smg except the pmg and maybe the manic, by being both easier to use and having a lower ttk

i’d rather face a jg on a corner than a pmg tbh but regardless - just don’t play the corner? would you run out into the open against an hvr?

i honestly don’t know how to reply to this, you’re asking me why a weapon excels when using it’s optimal playstyle within its optimal range it’s just basic weapon balance - if pump shotguns didn’t have an area they excel at over other options then no one would use them, the same goes for every other gun in apb
