    BTW: parts are very easy to gather - once you capture the fort on the river (east of flea market), get 2 cheap merks to stay there and constantly train militia. Almost all attacks get through there and you get sooo much loot from there.

And once they are wiped out (after about 4 attacks) you may consider either coming back repeatedly with main group to train more or have a separate training team nearby.

      ​@@jankodes197 You most likely never played that game, cause even with only two cheap mercs and militia, it is easy to hold that isle, since they never send more then 10 guys, mostly six with hyeanas, that really don't count. Putting those mercs on top of the tower seals the deal and also, they never send troops that shortly one after another, you always got enough time to train them milita-guys anew.

    For the scopes I used 3 types of scopes based on marksmanship - if it was lower, I used sniper x10 (or x5 if x10 wasn't available). Once they trained a bit (above cca 85) I switched to prism scopes (high crit on 3 aims or 2 aims with UV dot). Finally when I put UV dot on all my guns I used chips for thermal scopes.

    Well there are some universal guns - I found only one G36 assault rifle (fast only 5 AP for shot, high damage and 36 modded range), but a lot of Galil guns (same range, but 6 AP for shot). These can all be equipped with UV dot, suppressor, all scopes and heavy stock. It can be as dangerous as a sniper - bipod for accuracy and 2 aims (one free aim from UV dot) gives you bonus from stock and crit from scope, but at the same time usable without aiming at close range for 5 AP.

  • @konstantinshevchuk160
    @konstantinshevchuk160 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Couple of things to add: One thing I found useful about SMG's - they use 9mm ammo type that is much more common. While assault rifles and machineguns chew through rare ammo pretty fast. Another good thing about smgs - they have run'n'shoot shot, so they are excellent in a mobile fight. Assault rifles I find mediocre, but many of them have underslung grenade launcher - so they add aoe to non explosive experts. And for pistols and Uzi's - they can be dual wielded - that increases their damage up close.

    1 tip. machine gun is must have in heavy fights. RPK is good, esp. when you can buy ammo for it in Fleetown. HK21 is if not the best, but good, uses sniper rifles rounds, as i remember. 2 tip. In Fleetown's market you can buy random skill book every week. 3 tip. i vote for the best AR FN-FAL, best sniper rifle as PSG or M42(??). 4 tip. x10 scope is worth only if you have high agility character, as for 4th aiming level you dont have free AP. 5 tip. In stealth operations if you kill enemy and other one would get suspicious when found dead body, you can just leave him out of sight, and combat would not start. You can return and kill him

  • @Strickl3r

    I use a machine gun with Raven(unique overwatch perk, starts with 94 Marksmanship). She is an absolute powerhouse with it. Set her up and open combat with a Barry Grenade 6 guys eliminated is nothing unusual. Livewire is nice if you have intel, so you know beforehand where to set up your opening.

    • @CalamityCain
      @CalamityCain ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, man. The game kind of implies Raven to be a sniper but with her overwatch marking perk and auto-fire training, she's indeed an absolute unit with LMGs. To bad you can't train her to have the heavy weapons expert perk. IIRC in Jagged 2 mercs could unlock such perks through extensive use of the related weapons. Has anyone found out if that's at all possible in JA3? I'm guessing no.

  • @gregorstamejcic2355
    @gregorstamejcic2355 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    An odd rifle I quite like is the ol' winchester carbine. Quite precise, can be modded with a silencer and shortened down so it's cheaper to shoot. I use it on slower guys, like steroid and red. Something like g36 could definitely fill that role too, but i like winchester as it uses .44 magnum ammo, which I have an abundance of, and is quite powerful.

    • @Antisocialnerd2
      @Antisocialnerd2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yeah I love the Winchester too I love guns that give you the most bag for your buck and turning a single .44 into 100 plus damage with a close range headshot is amazing efficiency.

    Take Famas assault rifle it has reduced ap per shot, attach a mod that gives u x3 aim if shooting before moving and another mod that makes target marked at 3x aim. And what u get is two burst shots with 3x aim on a marked target, absolutely destroys ur enemies especially if u let Ice use this weapon. His ap is enough to do this trick and his passive goes real good with that!

      Yeah but there's more than a few guns that can get down to that ap cost by giving it a shorter barrel.

    One of the best and broken weapons in the game, in my opinion is a unique rifle Confidante which fires for only 4 AP and have 40+ damage, which is insane. So, if you found one (and you can do it quite early) and give it to Ivan for example, he can single-handedly shoot up to 6-7 guys per turn.
    The problem with machine guns, at least in unmodded vanilla game, is that you won't have enough bullet to feed their hunger consistently. Usually, you have something in the range of 500-800 bullets of single caliber, if you gather everything. And for machine gun that's just 50-80 shots, not to mention probably your rifles will be using those bullet types as well.

    • @Ic0nGaming

      I've read from several players by now that they save up their Gunpowder exclusively for Machinegun Ammo Crafting. I guess the limited ammo is a balancing mechanism from the devs.

      Yeah Confidante is great, poor Luke XD.
      I don't think there is a problem with machine guns, cause you don't really need to use them aside from very big battles. For me it's pretty balanced, otherwise the game would be too easy even on the hardest difficulty.

    MGs are such brutal weapons. I keep them in inventory for emergencies when vastly outnumbered, they are just human lawnmowers. I can't wait for a bobby rays mod to get more ammo. Or the ability to scrap ammo for powder bc ammo rarity is ludicrous unless you only run single shot high dmg weaps.

    For machine guns I would say that the biggest problem, especially in the early game, is the amount of ammo they use. On my first play through I ended up using almost all of the ammo that the MG42 uses which left other mercs dry. It's a bit of a trap imho, since crafting more ammo requires an explosive expert, quite a lot of time and spare parts.

    • @Ic0nGaming
      @Ic0nGaming  ปีที่แล้ว

      Well the early stages of the game are easily doable without heavy weapon. I think the key to machine guns is to understand which fights are the ones to bring the big gun to. Cause like you already pointed out, the lack of ammo is the balancing mechanic.
      Crafting the fitting ammo is a good way, some Towns also sell ammo if you're lucky. I always try to do something else useful in the time while stuff is being crafted like, training mercs for example =)

  • @DrZaius3141
    @DrZaius3141 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Best weapon type for long range: Sniper rifle (1 merc gets 1 kill per turn)
    Best weapon type for mid range: Sniper rifle (1 merc gets 1 kill per turn, without good explosives, you can't compete with that; also, only one bullet per kill and sometimes even 2 kills per turn with a high dex/agi merc)
    Best weapon type for short range: trick question, enemies are virtually never in short range because you can so easily kill them before they get there, but even if they are, your fully aimed sniper rifle will kill one per turn which only high level shotguns in the hands of someone with 2-3 related perks can really beat
    Conclusion: 5 snipers, 1 explo-expert with a shotgun and the game is super easy, even on MI.
    Keep in mind that there is a mod that shows percentage chances to hit. This of course is cheating, but it shows you how incredibly overpowered sniper rifles truly are when you compare hit chances at all distances. It also shows that fumble chance with explosives is mostly negligible.

    • @Ic0nGaming
      @Ic0nGaming  ปีที่แล้ว

      Well, if you just wanna win it works fine. I think just it becomes very boring very quickly. The game is forgiving enough to take all matter of different approaches. I'm happy this method exists, but it surely is not the only way to play the game. I find it honestly quite monotonous to give everybody on my team Sniper Guns, the whole dynamics and engagement of the game break for me and it just becomes a stale type of game.
      But luckily, everybody can play the way he/she wants to, so that's none of my business. But yeah, right now Snipers are absolutely nuts and that's mostly because of the massive stupidity of the AI. But that's nothing new in games like these. I'm just kinda sad that this even works in highest difficulty levels. But whatever, the game is fun and it stays fun even if you cheese yourself through the fights like this.
      You have a lot of options to make the game easy enough to win it without going completely nuts and I appreciate that. But I'd really be happy to hear more about how cool things people did with literally all the other weapons. Instead everybody talks about Snipers all day long.
      Anyways, just wanted to point out that the most optimal choice is not necessarily the most fun one. Really depends on your character. I run one Sniper per squad always but not more than that and for me that's the most fun. But that's for me - you guys go all sniper if this tickles your fancy ^^

Always had to switch to my secondary. Other than that I can confirm. I have 6 Mercs, 4 with dedicated snipers, 1 with a modded M14...and it's really a breeze.
