Weird how you need calculus to create a formula for small fractions. -Right now if you buy $50 worth of G1c, you get 4,600 g1c. A 4,000 g1c weapon would be 2,000 at 50% off leaving you with 2600 G1c left If you bought 2 weapons, it would cost 4,000 G1c and you'd be left with 600 G1c. -As of the 9th, if you buy $50 worth of G1c, you get 5750 g1c. A 4000 g1c weapon will cost 2,600 g1c at 35% off, leaving you with 3150 G1c left If you buy 2 weapons, it would cost 5,200 G1c and you'd be left with 550 G1c. If you add $100, the amount you can buy and the amount of G1c are the same. At $200 it's better after the 9th. And not ALL weapon have 50% off. In conclusion, it depends on how much you buy and how many weapons you're getting. For example, I'd like to buy a: Mountie Northwest Shredder SB R&D3 PDW-57 Kris Raptor 45 Hawk (all character perms) Cost for these with this sale: 7,589 G1c Cost of these after this sale: 8,577 G1c Leftover G1c from buying right now(if buying $100): 2,011 G1c Leftover G1c from buying after the 9th (if buying $100): 3,423 G1c 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Second, you're talking about buying a Shredder 3-Slot character bound when it's currently cheaper account bound (Character isn't 50% off, but all guns are 50% off Account.) Yes, if you had said up-front that you were basically going out of your way to find items that aren't 50% off and buying those, then it's going to be cheaper to buy them later, but it would be better if you bought everything you want that's 50% off now, and then bought anything that's glitched and not on sale later. If you weren't buying the one gun that's glitched then during the sale it would total to 6,600G1c, or $82.50, as opposed to ~$85.78 after the sale. Third, you realize that all of your math lined up perfectly with everything I said, right? Not what you said? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Third, you realize that all of your math lined up perfectly with everything I said, right? Not what you said? I play as one character so why would I spend more? I didn't go out of my way to find a thing. Having more G1c after buying everything in the example provided and in buying a single weapon with the first example leaves you with more G1c in the end. And why would you not count in paypal bonuses? You do buy G1c, do you not? EDIT:Just wanted to acknowledge that you're absolutely right. account version of the shredder saves an entire 139 G1c, so my way only gives you 1273 more g1c than your method instead of 1,412 more LOL Edited July 7, 2018 by Unclean Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Caesruul 16 Posted July 7, 2018 Help me out here guys, do I get the SWARM or the NSSW(might get nerfed)? It's like the SHAW VS ALIG argument except the above guns are a wee bit too similar and effective against people. Especially the NSSW, but it doesn't have the hard damage like the SWARM/Consistent recoil and incoming buff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have perm ALIG/CASE, but the SWARM was nice-felt like the blend of LMG and AP I needed. Buuut the NSSW just rocks, plays like an older NTEC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buuut the NSSW just rocks, plays like an older NTEC. Yeah thats kind of how I explain the swarm too, sort of an in between AV / AP lmg. Not the best at either, but a nice middle ground. Im maybe not the best guy to ask as Im pretty sweaty when it comes to APB, so if Im going LMG its Euryale or gtfo. (Though if I didnt have the Euryale it would def be the N-SSW) Edited July 8, 2018 by CookiePuss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buuut the NSSW just rocks, plays like an older NTEC. I only use the SWARM in place of the ALIG... if there's a chance there will be a lot of movements in the missions and I see the enemies ride together. It does sound amazing and is fun to use for an all around hybrid though The NSSW/VAS-SW2 on the other hand is AMAZING at taking down players at medium range. Slap HB2 and HS3 on it and you have a slightly slower ttk ntec that has auto bloom recovery and a larger magazine.. and you can fire and move with the nssw as long as you ADS. Can't do that with the SWARM effectively.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zolerox 564 Posted July 8, 2018 If only someone was crazy enough who just happend to get free premium and I dunno let's say Go to every gun in armas marketplace and click "try for free" So they can keep their 3 hour trial weapon after the premium expires and just have 104 gun's in their mailbox organised by both weapon type and alphabetically. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
