So you on the server and you want to build up your character fast so you don’t just die in a matter of seconds. Everyone starts dieing fast at the start so don’t worry much about it.

As stated before, no matter what class you choose you want to max out Damage Bonus and Weapon Speed first. Medics will want to max out Advance Damage Reduction also, and Weapon Masters will want to max out Advance Damage Bonus. Adrenaline Master max out recall.

I’ve been known for being able to level up and build up my characters very fast and here’s some help. First thing is only buy things that help you get levels.

Now lets talk about building up your character. First of all, and this is the most important. DO NOT USE VORPAL GUNS! Yes they are strong and can kill fast but you lose out of xp. It’s a fact plain and simple. Reason being is that you dont get the kill bonus. Say you had 3 vorpals in a row. This will pretty much give you a Holy Shit kill with higher wave monsters. Holy Shit kills give you 30 pts. So adding up the most likely othe 2 kills you would give before you looking at 10 and 20 xp. So yes in 3 shots you can get 60 xp. Now saying you was using a Damage Link to do the same, you will give those same 60 pts, also the xp from damanging monsters and the kill bonus. So you just turn about 120+ xp to 60 xp. This is why you dont use vorpal weapons. If you notice the high level players don’t use vorpal.

Poison weapons makes things so much easier. Without a doubt poison weapons give you alot more XP then any other weapon and with so little effort. Poison flak or mines with 1 hit will at like 3 hits. So you get more xp with just a single hit. The problem with poison weapons for most people is that they end up killing themelves with them. Splashdamage is a bitch! Trust me on this one though if you have this when you first start you can start off building fast. If you not good with poison weapons then you going to want damage weapons.

Damage Reduction, buy this last. Tons of people will ell you get this first but don’t. Reason being is that i doesn’t help you earn xp faster only keeps you alive. True you can only earn xp when you alive but getting 1000xp in 5mins and then dieing is alot better then getting 300xp in 20min without dieing. Untl you get this atleast over 100 you not going to see much difference, but when maxed you definitely going to love it. For starters just get this to 50 so you can get Ghost.

Ghost? Again this is were most people tell get this last. NO, you want to get this early. Besides being one of the most expensive things to get. Get it early while levels require low amounts of xp. Remember level 1 alone cost you 40 points. Another reason to get this is for Mini bosses and Lucifer. Incase you died early by a nice shot by a monster you still come alive again. This way you don’t miss out on all that lovely xp.

Resupply! Get this maxed! Sorry medics you can’t get this but hey just make your weapon and inf medic weapon and don’t worry about it.

Ammo Bonus, you going to want to get atleast 75-100 on this but you don’t have to get it there very fast. Rejuv magic weapons helps restore ammo but not very fast so this needs resupply as well.

Health! The most important thing but one of the last thing you want to max. Just get 200 health bonus so you can get ghost. Get more later on.

Regeneration (Sorry Adren Masters, no soup for you), this keeps your health building when you get hurt but it goes slowly. Weapon Masters can gt Vampirism which gives you health when you damage a monster. This helps keep you alive much longer.

Adrenaline? Everyone sooner or later is going to want to get atleast 150. Too many things require adrenaline but with atleast 150 you can do almost everything you going to need to do. You don’t have to this this early unless you are an adrenaline master.

Quiccfoot? Honest with you this is pointless so get this very very late. Makes you move faster but then so does a translocator.

Smart Healing! I had a debate with Franky about this one but you want to get this if you find yourself not geting healed fast enough or can’t find a medic. On level 1 you be able to see the effects of this. All health picc-ups are worth 25% more. Heal yourself fast while fighting when monsters drop health. At level 4 it doubles all health picc-ups. Wait until you are over level 60 before getting this to see if you need it. This is a must for Adrenaline Masters and you just need a few levels of this. Weapon Masters just get 1 level of this, its cheap and healths you keep full of health.

That’s about the end of the general building up your character for everyone in general. The next part I will go into detail for each class for helpful hints.
