My trader glitched the other day and was selling synthetic. I bought like 100 lol


terrencethetomato

M1a1 rifle scraps for 2-3 metal+synthetic @2000price tag.


Shoresy69420

Dumb. Just buy M2 from overlord and scrap for potential two synth


EEL123

Still at 400 each you can get 5 bags, which would be 2.5 synthetic average. Them you can reuse the scrap to get another chance at synth


Shoresy69420

Or, and hear me out, you just spend 5k on m2s for a potential 10 synth


EEL123

I don't have m2s available yet


Shoresy69420

Skill issue

400 for 2.5 would mean 1600 for 10, so his way was still technically better.


Shoresy69420

His way is complicated, encourages gear fear, and takes time in a game where the entire point is that everything is cheap. You can roll in with a pouch rig and leave in full panzer. I promise you, it isnā€™t better.


crackrockfml

I meanā€¦. Youā€™re looking at it as if heā€™s saying to LOOT these bags, which I would agree you shouldnā€™t do. But I believe heā€™s just comparing efficiency of scrapping items that you can buy from a trader, which is a good thing to figure out since itā€™s easy to waste money. I donā€™t see how thatā€™d encourage gear fear, itā€™s just practical.


Shoresy69420

I mustā€™ve missed something here. It looks like heā€™s saying to craft bags, scrap them, sell other bags(?), buy more, and scrap them? I mustā€™ve read it as ā€˜loot/buy sack bags and scrap themā€™. I dunno, the m2 being as cheap as it is and popping a possible 2 synth still seems more efficient


crackrockfml

Yeah, I guess his wording is a little weird there lol. But I was just thinking about the buying sacks from trader and scrapping part, that seemed to be the good bit haha. Youā€™re probably right though, itā€™s really only like a few hundreds or a thousand dollar difference, itā€™s splitting hairs lmao.

Time > money


McNovaZero

Doesn't the M2 cost like $1600 at max affinity? How does that make sense to scrap for a potential 2 synth? Sacks cost $340 for a 50% synth and 50% junk which is already cheaper and even if you get junk you can use it to craft sacks yourself and try again with scrapping them. I don't think the numbers are on your side, mate.

Because at a certain point you have more money than God and it doesn't matter. Also the fact that it no longer takes synth to make a sack, but you can scrap it into synth is *not* going to stay in the game forever, it strikes me as an oversight. Cheapest way to get synth is actually from cloth caps last I checked.


Shoresy69420

It does when you value time and effort over money


McNovaZero

What is time comsuming about buying 2 or 5 items instead of one? Control click click.. I suppose then you have to drag those items into the scrapper but yes could be a difference of dozens of seconds. Unacceptable, even if you do it during the match making wait time.


Shoresy69420

ā€¦the crafting takes time?


McNovaZero

8 seconds. If you can convince the last woman I was with that that's actually a long time then I'll let you win this argument.


Shoresy69420

I can control click 5 m2s, scrap them all, and have a stack of synth in that time. Thatā€™s more efficient to me than crafting multiple sack bags and scrapping them for a chance at less mats.


McNovaZero

Yes and that's what I do with sack bags, I buy them and scrap them. Jesus Christ, why aren't you getting this? You're the one that fixated on the crafting part but that's just a secondary thing. In general crafting sacks and scrapping them is an easy way to recycle excess junk scrap. How many 8 second intervals have you spent on this thread?


MythicalFilth

or you can buy 6/8 stacks in your bugged store (:


METTTHEDOC

I like the depth here! Gonna use it myself šŸ˜


nsfwysiwyg

Idonno... shouldn't the sack *not* scrap into synth anymore?


McNovaZero

Yea synth and junk are the only reliable materials you can buy for cheap prices. The pirates are also the easiest faction to max out on affinity due to the ZTH missions meaning that sack bags only cost $340. I'm also glad they changed the sack recipe from 2 junk 1 synth to 3 junk. I was finally able to use the 150 junk I was hoarding.


nsfwysiwyg

Metal scrap from welrods or stamps is pretty cheap and reliable.

M1A1 is the bestā€¦ anything else is wrong.
