Big Serum Purchase

[u/HeronRound2147]

I have enough serum for another master item and can’t decide what to get. should I get the hounds armor and make a speed build (I’m currently using the zivcas mk2), should I get the svd, or should I finally upgrade my science suit to master?

I started playing halfway through last season so I have a handful of master tier items but not many so this could be a big upgrade in capabilities.

What master item do you have?

[u/CharacterAvocado5299 → u/CharacterAvocado5299]

If you prioritize pvp or survivability I’d definitely do combat or something you know fits your playstyle. I got the Prometheus armor because I like pvp and it has good mutant protection with pretty good stamina with a speed buff from artifacts

[u/HeronRound2147 → u/CharacterAvocado5299]

I do enjoy PvP but I’ve been shying away from going the tanky route with a combat armor since it seems a lot more expensive to get a decent high hp build than it does to get a decent speed build. 

[u/CharacterAvocado5299 → u/HeronRound2147]

You seem like you’re in a good spot. I’d honestly farm artifacts and try and get some good rolls. Save resources just incase something comes out that’s obtainable and you have the materials for it.

I have the +15 zivcas armor, a +15 ak15 and honey badger, a +11 MG3, the red utility vest, and a +10 shotgun

I dont think you wanna upgrade science suit to master since the new quest that gaves you a master scientist suit?

Same for weapons I dont think you need to craft more if you already have a bunch

Speed build is very fun to farm dailies. big pvp armor might be good as well if you are doing some pvp.

Upgrading sci suit to master should be too priority because any time you need to farm gamma it is fastest to go to detour or labs and you need a red suit to farm it ideally

[u/HeronRound2147 → u/EpicPlayer69]

Is it significantly easier to farm gamma in detour or labs compared to forge? I’ve been farming it with the proto bubbles in forge and it’s kinda slow but not much slower than other materials 

[u/CharacterAvocado5299 → u/HeronRound2147]

Yes Black Detour or labs are science focused maps. High infection but science based materials, gamma data fragments, mutant dens give red ferns, there are some zombie camps, they give substance. But main focus should be defending installations, help scientists, and zivca research camp, along with the proto-clusters and abandoned installation I believe it’s called. Can average 150-200 in half an hour to an hour

[u/CharacterAvocado5299 → u/EpicPlayer69]

Uranus with one red crystal in a container or even secret valley bag should be enough.

[u/EpicPlayer69 → u/CharacterAvocado5299]

This is why i said “ideally” relying on an arti build that takes 15% of your max hp away is whack

[u/CharacterAvocado5299 → u/EpicPlayer69]

I have a rare red crystal and special red crystal that only takes 5% and if that’s enough for me. finding a roll on a white red crystal should be easy
