Bazooka Information
Your Bazooka is worth 15K Influence regardless of what skill level you are.
This is the equivalent of being bigger than Leroy Combs for three Shots.
Furthermore, they are a ONE SHOT KILL.
Department of Defense confirms that there is no difference between using a Bazooka on a full-strength Tank or a weak barehanded enemy. However, it is wise to use your Bazooka on your last three food fights. This will insure that you can use your entire health supply in that mini-battle. In other words, wait until you are down to between 40-50 health remaining, then start firing your Bazooka (even if you'd already hit an enemy with another weapon).
Each Bazooka requires 5 Parts to assemble. If your Mission only asks you to find 1, you will get more missions to find the other 4. Some Citizens' Missions are asking them to find 3, then the other 2, other Citizens are being asked to find all 5 parts in one Mission. Regardless, all 5 parts are needed to assemble the Bazooka.
Once the Bazooka has been discharged 3 times, you will gain 10 Strength and be awarded a second Bazooka.
Bazookas cannot be donated, nor would it be beneficial to do so. The battle influence of 5,000/hit is awarded to each Citizen regardless of Strength or Rank.
Bazookas cannot be sold on the market.
Here is basic information on the Bazooka as well as another rumored weapon, and some other new Missions: INFORMATION
Department of State is still seeking eager candidates for Foreign Ambassadorships. This is a VERY HIGH-PROFILE volunteer position in Government right now. Smart Citizens with future political plans ought to excel here. Find more information here.

Ok and I've already asked but I'll ask here as well, can they be donated? Can mission items be donated?
As a low level player, it doesn't make sense for me to use them, if I'm lucky enough to even complete any, unless I have to use them in order to complete another mission that I really want. Even in that case, I would stockpile them for future use, to do maximum dmg.
Otherwise, if there are no further benefits other than exp/rank, it would make more sense to donate them to a massive tank, if that's possible.

^ Did you just add this or did I totally miss that? Tell the truth!
I need 5 parts put out about 400k today and got one.
I think this weapon for me will be rarer than chicken teeth.
Don't shoot too early..heh
If you are lucky enough to get one just put it on the market for about $10000, if it sales you can probably buy 5000k of influence if it doesn't then you don't have to click the arrows every time you don't want to use it or use it by mistake at a level 15 player fighting bare handed. I pickeup up one part today only about 25k of influnce spent but...who knows I may get one
o7
is it 5 or 15k in influence?
@ Myst - I added it as per your question! Great one btw.
> Every Bazooka should be used against a full-Health Tank.
Why?
o7
All citizens need to find the same 5 parts regardless of level.
Should be used against a full health tank cuz it kills them in one shot.
Thanks, Morri

Who is Leroy Combs?

Yes but a bazooka used against a full strength tank saves you the amount of health you would have had to use to kill that tank minus 10.
If you use your Bazooka against an enemy you would normally kill in 1 hit, you will consume 10 health. Same if you use your Bare Hands.
If you use your Bazooka against an enemy you would normally kill in 6 hits, you will consume 50 less health by using the Bazooka.
Leroy Combs
Strength 7,381.30
Rank Supreme Marshal **
I am a very new player, only 300 strength and barely level 21 in exp, but I still have 5 parts to collect so your theory is most likely wrong.
INFORMATION UPDATED
Hey I didn't click on a part right away and it disappeared. Don't know if it was a part I already had or what but I lost it. Just FYI.
The government can touch my bazooka any time.
Actually disregard my last comment. It was a piece I already had and it was automatically collected. I now have 2 barrels.
Okay maybe I am missing something. I can't unselect my Bazooka. Hitting the select button just re-selects the Bazooka. ???
From the mission information page it looks like the reward for completing the collection and firing the bazooka is 10 strength and another bazooka!

@Dru Blood
From my experiences you have to have other weapons to switch from a weapon. I personally think it's a BUG not being able to switch to bare hands if you have weapons in your storage.
"Yes but a bazooka used against a full strength tank saves you the amount of health you would have had to use to kill that tank minus 10.

The old rules had you getting more damage when you attacked powerful players, that isn't the case anymore. The only way this matters if you think you won't have enough health to kill a full strength tank at the end. There is no damage advantage nor health advantage to this rule. You don't actually kill anyone and the game is only crediting you for the number of hits you put in and deducting 10 health per hit regardless of who it is against. If you kill them in one shot you get x and lose 10 health, if you kill them in 5 shots you get 5x and lose 50 health.
I recommend that we stop adding in unnecessary caveats and keep the message simple: That we want people to hold off using the bazooka until an important battle as a coordinated effort.

Yeah I got caught this way as well and used some tanks that really, I would have liked to have saved.
Can the bazookas be transferred to an org to eliminate that problem?
What is the point in fighting if you don't have a weapon? Seems like a waste of food and health to be hitting bare handed
@aaron: using the bazooka against a full-strength tank is not about amount of damage. It is about amount of health used. You can kill the full-strength tank with 1 shot. This saves health, which translates into MORE KILLS.
^ As a low level newb, I won some weapons that I would have put to much better use, I think, at a higher level.
Also, I see I'm living in the past and seems you can't create orgs so.. Does anyone still have orgs?
ok Gnilraps got in my way there heh, my comment was for Aaron S.

if its your only weapon then you are forced to use it
Good article!
Aaron S: Simple is good for simple minds, but smart people need to know *why*.
@Gnilraps: Kills don't mean anything. You don't get points for kills. They are a useless stat.
The only thing you need to do is time your last health to make sure you get a final kill. Unless you use the bazooka last, you won't know which random opponents you'll get anyway. So this is all being overly controlling.
Just ask people of low strength to hold their bazookas. Simple request and you don't have to confuse them with the nonsense of more kills for less health. Kills mean nothing.
To your argument that you save health. Here it is illustrated for you.
You get 100 health per hour. That means you can hit 10 times. Let's assume I have a bazooka and some q5s. I can do about 2400 per hit on the Q5s and everyone does 5k each for three hits on the bazooka. That means I will use 3 hits and 30 health to get 15k on the bazooka. I will have 7 hits using 70 health for the q5s which would bring in 16,800. These numbers won't change regardless of the projected opponent on the other side.
You could end up in a situation where you have an opponent on the other side that will take more hits than you have health. In that case you could wait until the next round. Or use the bazooka and hope the next random opponent is weaker.
Any way you slice it...there is a defined amount of damage you are going to get regardless of hitting full strength players. Kills only matter for things like completing missions and if you need one more for the new mercenary medal.

I think Aaron is right, you get the same points/rank/xp per hit no matter what, the only "strategy" is in the kills.
Also think that it is a BUG to not be able to switch to bare hands...
UPDATED - You can use your Bazooka on any strength enemy. However current advice is to use your three Bazooka shots with your last three food fight clicks. This will insure that you can use all of your available health in that Mini.
@Aaron S - you are dead right.
Thanks for fixing that.
@ Gnikraps, could you please add in the main body, that if you go into battle with nothing but the bazooka, then due to the bug? or by design, you will be forced to use the bazooka. That is, you will be unable to deselect it.
You're choice then, if done accidently, would be to back out I guess.
@ Aaron, are you still advising this then?: "Just ask people of low strength to hold their bazookas."
Sorry if I'm being dense. :{
Yes. I would advise asking people of low strength especially to hold their bazooka until it is an important fight. It wouldn't make a whole lot of difference if I used one or not. I'd just be about 3 food fights different. Some people would see no difference. For people hitting a hundred pts per hit, it's a few days of food fights for them.
