Weapon Prices and Damage

Since weapons are a large part of every player's consumption, it is important to buy weapons efficiently, to get the most bang out of your buck.

Ηowever, after looking at the market prices for weapons in eUS right now, it is obvious that people are not purchasing the weapons that give them the greatest damage output for their investment.


Firstly, lets make clear something that people dont seem to realize. Since weapon skills were turned into strength, all weapon types have the exact same effects if they have the same customization. The weapon type is now irrelevant, and weapon characteristics is the only thing that matters.
So, a Q3 rifle (3 uses, 60 firepower) has the exact same effect on your damage as a Q3 tank, heli, or artillery. People dont seem to know this, or the prices of different weapon types of the same Q would be equal.
When you want to buy a weapon, you should open 4 tabs with the marketplace, and select the customization you want for each of the 4 weapon types, and buy the cheapest you can find.

There is another great inefficiency in the market right now:

the cheapest Q1 weapon costs about 5 USD and increases your damage by 20% for one fight.

the cheapest Q3 weapon costs about 17 USD and increases your damage by 60% for 3 fights.

the cheapest Q5 weapon costs about 41 USD and increases your damage by 100% for 5 fights.


so, for simplicity, 1 Q5 costs about as much as 2.5 Q3 and 8 Q1 weapons.


8 Q1 give 8x20%= 160% on your base damage. (assuming fighting with constant wellness)

2.5 Q3 give 2.5x3x60% = 450% on your base damage (assuming fighting with constant wellness)

1 Q5 gives 5x100% = 500% on your base damage. (assuming fighting with constant wellness)





obviously, Q5 weapons are far more efficient compared to the other Qs! For the same price as 8 Q1 weapons, you do 3 times the extra damage!

in fact, Q5 weapons will keep being more efficient than Q1s untill 1 Q5 costs as much as 25 Q1, and more efficient than Q3 untill 1Q5 costs more than 2.8 Q3s.


It appears that most people are using Q1 weapons because they seem cheaper, while in reality they are a lot more expensive than other qualities. Instead of using a couple of Q1s when fighting, people should save up and buy a Q5. You will be saving money and doing a lot more damage for our country by using Q5s instead of Q1s!

considering that your strength will also have increased after waiting a few days your damage will increase even more than before.
