Beginners Guide to Planetside 2 - Weapon Choice - Avoid the Farm ep.11

Tips, Tricks

1. So in order of increasing ADS to hip fire damage ratio (or effective range) is it like so?
   Shotguns
   SMGs
   Carbines
   Assault Rifles
   LMGs
   Battle Rifles
   Snipers
   ?
   (Excluding scout rifles)
2. My first weapon I ever bought with station cash was Semi-auto Scout Rifle. I was kinda new to the game and I pretty much sucked. I later bought SMG and played with it for a year. Recently I auraxiumed Cyclone and I decided to try semi-auto Scout Rifle and I was surprised how much better I have, compared to last year.
3. It seems common for youtubers to advise new players into close and short medium range weapons. I think its a mistake. Close combat is so fast and chaotic new players will be gunned down due to the lack of map knowlege. If a new player is in close combat it should be in a max.
   In longer range combat thier weapons will be equil or greater to thier enemy and they can more easily retreat when they take damage. They will learn how to be accurate and find fights where they arnt just overwhelmed by the chaos.
4. Btw wrel released a code for a free ns 11 assault rifle check his recent weekly update video.
5. I have not played this game yet, I am waiting for it to come out on console, I do agree battle rifles would be for higher skill players. On BF4 the dmr(the battle rifles equivalent) definitely can only be used by experience players whom truly understand the weapons. I myself am pretty good with them but they are a very situational weapon with a high skill cap for sure.
6. Just as a note, Battle Rifles can't be used by Light Assaults. It would be the one class where you could really use a BR to its full effectiveness, so they don't get to use it :-P 
7. Great review :) Can you say me were you got the overlay from? I am meaning "double kill"..... 
8. great review.well done.
9. You forgot Zoran. The bear focuses on TR weapons. Very professionally done and refreshing to see different types of Youtubers by how they present their reviews. Drath is a badass, Wrel is a true VS scientist, Camikaze- awesome and aussie. Zoran- formal and professionally done.
10. You need to talk about proper burst fire. Several times in the video, you dump a mag without allowing for your CoF to reset, prolonging an engagement and reducing your overall accuracy. This is a necessary skill for players to learn. It extends the effective range of a weapon at the cost of a tiny amount of DPS.
11. Thank you for this video. I was never clear on the difference between carbines, assault rifles, and SMGs. The game never really explains it and I'm just now starting to figure it out after having been playing the game for some time.
12. useful as usual, thx
    only 1 mistake: LA cannot use battle rifles
13. Again great vid! 
    Imo the default weapons are great to start off the game. And whit SOE giving everyone a shotgun aswel every new player can make 2 loadouts from the start. 
    For the new players i would't bother buying new weapons the first few ranks. 
    There are enough things to spend cerst on other than weapons. And SC isnt something most new players have. And if u uarixium a weapon than u have more than enough experience to start looking for alternative weapons. 
    
    And also good tip is to try some of the nanitesystems weapons when bought whit SC are unlocked on every character in your account on all factions.
