Matching Gear With Skills
Playing most pvp or shooter type games, one typically tries to use as much firepower as possible. Let’s be realistic, when you are heavy into a season of Fortnite, do you care if you use a Heavy Shotgun or a Grenade Launcher as long as you obliterate your enemy? The same thing goes for nearly every other shoot-em-up game in existence. As always, there is an exception and if you guessed Entropia Universe, you would be absolutely correct.
Of course Entropia Universe is the exception, not only do you actually need to level your avatar appropriately to be able to use the best weapons in the game but you must also be able to use them efficiently. Universally the Improved A-3 Justifier Mark II is regarded as the most efficient and most economical weapon in the game. However, unless you are going to go all in and invest in buying other players skills and become an overnight Uber, do not grab this gun and start firing away. You won’t have the skill to use it efficiently and your dreams of building a virtual fortune will literally go up in smoke.
As a new player or “noob” you would want to start off using beginner weapons given to you at the start and purchase more of the same either from the auctioneer, other players or the trade terminal. Weapons, mining gear and any tool with a skill requirement will list those requirements in the item description. Simply right click on any item and click the item info tab to see if you meet the skill requirements for the item you wish to use.
Read the information presented to you in the game, it will help you make the correct choices and make it easier for you to have a successful adventure in the Entropia Universe. Buying and selling gear as your avatar progresses is all part of the game within the game so to speak. If you want to go guns blazing with the top gear you can use regardless of efficiency, by all means, have fun doing so. If you want to beat the game, outsmart your fellow player and withdraw well deserved and hard earned fortunes, play smart and always use appropriate gear for your level.
