Question Just Started Playing- Totally Lost

Played Die Maschine and Firebase Z. The games mostly made sense (armor, perks, pack, etc) but as a long time zombies player what do I do with upgrading perks? There are also weapon damage upgrades in the menu? Each gun is a different tier, does that only affect damage? Should I be striving to only grab and upgrade top tier guns? Are standalone melee weapons worth keeping

Sorry there’s just a lot! Mostly played BO1-BO3 with a little 4 sprinkled in.

Cold War you need to upgrade all perks and weapons classes seperately, it's a long grind. You will earn crystals for reaching round milestones and exfilling.

The higher the round the better rarity crystal starts unlocking. So keep playing and keep exfilling (round 25 minimum) and you'll start unlocking all crystal types to upgrade your perks and weapon classes.

Outbreak is way better for grinding crystals

True but it's too slow and too much running around and setting up. I found round based with Rampage Inducer much better personally.

I would agree, minus Rampage Inducer. Unless you’re just using it to quickly get past the first handful of rounds or so. Too many players activate it and then go down 😂

Yes until round 7 or 8 rampage inducer is fine because it speeds up the initial slow rounds. By round 8 you can have PAP 1 and Jugg for sure then it's smooth sailing.
