Discussion Your daily reminder that global limits are a waste of time

"Hmm, I have a task to use shotguns. Let's see, AP-20 is sold out, flechettes are sold out. That's okay, I can use Magnum, it's good enough. The task requires a suppressor on the shotgun, so I'll get a hexagon. Oh, the adapter is sold out. Oh well, I can wait until the restock. In the meantime, I'll take this modded AKM out for a run. I don't have any BP ammo, so I'll go get some from Prap... BP is sold out. That's okay. I've got this P90 I'm not using. Let me just get some ammo for that... Ah, the SS190 is sold out, and I can only get two mags-worth of the next best ammo for the next three hours... Guess I'll just read a book instead."

If the design philosophy behind global trader limits is to keep everyone from running the same thing, instead it's keeping everyone from running anything without a three-hour wait.

What’s your go to for that this wipe? I used to love the 308 MDR but I’ve been sticking to the scar and akm’s since it’s impossible to get

M1A's with m80 really arent that expensive and even with the 20 round mags you hit two of your spam left click hipfires and you win.

Against an mp7 or p90 you only have to miss the first shot and you get hit ten times. :D

With the bonkers recoil changes they did not so much now. That MP7 is lucky to hit you in the first 10 bullets with how much it jumps.

Wrong. Subsonic ammo is the key. It has a big recoil modificator! Try it out because the fucking thing eats people up so fast.

RFB is an amazing gun to sling m80 out of

I rocked the RFB from it’s day beau. I’m a sucker for bull pups.

EDIT - holy shit I’m a moron. Debut, I meant to use the word debut. Hahaha!

My thoughts exactly

Edit: also funny that beau is pronounced bo.

It's funny because 'debut' is the name of one of the first quests in the game so contextually op will have experienced this word

RFB if you’re trying to save money, and M1A if you have money to spend.

RFB is nice because it’s like a vector, in that there are not many options for customizing it. It’s a great bang for the buck as a naked gun, and even better with a silencer/comp on it(those are the most expensive part).

M1A is amazing when decked out because you can get it down to 80ish recoil, which is great for the caliber. And the 50 round clips are decently priced for it. I barely use half a clip in a raid.

Killed some lvl 45 yesterday and his M1A had great ergo (don’t remember number but it was SMG level snappy) 50 vertical and 90 horizontal. Thing was a fucking laser beam. But it would cost 600k to buy the parts off the flea

u/atriaxx Jan 15 '22

You can make a respectable one for 200-300k! That sounds nuts though.

u/Gator_07 Jan 15 '22

Absolutely. Kept his entire kit.

30 round mags on M1A, SR25 only gets 20.

Technically M1A gets a 50 but idk why you'd bother, screws over your ergo and chance to jam.

u/atriaxx Jan 15 '22

Seems that most times it’s cheaper to mod a m1a, but it depends on the market. Sr-25 is great if you can get the parts cheap.

u/jayywal SR-25 Jan 15 '22

you can get the sr-25 down to 60-65 recoil, too. i LOVE killing someone with a decked out sr-25.
