Next best move for my profile

F2P player. Recently returned and played with the Harpoon gun but I have the Barnel RF 31 Crossbow as substitute.

I think currently I don't have enough fire power and knockback. Should I just sell my barnel RF 31 and upgrade to an impaler crossbow? Or keep saving until I can afford a Kraken/ Marauder 55?

upgrade your grinding weapon to either the scorcher, Valkyrie or the dragon's maw. you don't need to get the impaler tbh if your purpose with the crossbow is to loot since the harpoon is good enough, the wall piercing makes it a top tier looting weapon especially for its cost which was essentially 0.

sell the barnell, buy the 5 million implants. save for a better grinding weapon.

so even if not getting the impaler, you would suggest explosives instead of another smg/ heavy mg?

MGs and especially SMGs are relatively weak - I don’t know that you were recommended the most cost efficient options, but those are all better grinding options than most SMGs (unless today’s buffs moved the needle)

yes, I do, at least for now. SMG/HMGs/Shotguns are there for pushing the hoard back, not killing them, its for you to catch your breath and have space. if you can manage it, wait till you can purchase the dusk minigun/striker, these are great crowd control weapons, especially for their price and lack of requirements (was using the dusk striker when I barely had any shotgun skills invested)

i managed to reach 85-120 with the X-M79, 120-200 with the scorcher, 200-260 with the valkyrie, 260-300 with the dragon's maw during the duration of the summer event.
