Which weapon for each class would be the best one to have a suppressor for? I know the default Sniper Rifle is a likely choice, since it's the only one that can zoom and have a suppressor. Would the default Pistol be ideal for having the suppressor, or should I toss away every pistol I own except for the Heavy, AP, and Deagle (Don't actually own it, but I'm using it as an example)?

I use the most weakest gun in the class, except for pistols I use the combat pistol.

Head shots...

True, but I prefer having power to back me up instead of a 'be 100% accurate for a headshot or be killed' type deal.

Its not 100% accurate. Its aim at the window until you hit something. The rest of the body is mostly covered.

Hm? I wasn't stating it was, I was just saying that I want to be able to shoot at the body and be able to kill them instead of having to make sure to get the head with the Micro SMG.
 
If you play deathmatch often, you will want a suppressor on just about one weapon of one class. It ensures your hostility circle (the big red circle in the map) isn't large enough for the opponents to track you for 10 seconds. Also: this is where that Stealth stat is put to use.

I silence the Combat Pistol, the Assault SMG, the Pump Shotgun, the regular Sniper, the Assault Rifle and the RPG.

Wait, i said RPG...
 
So today, I reached my long term goal of rank 1000 after a marathon grinding session ended with me causing untold carnage with a tank in the mission Stocks & Scares. After I finished the mission I went back to free mode, half expecting to be greeted by a group of Angels, descended from the heavens to whisk me off to a greater existence.

It didn't happen & alas, all I could think was why? Why did I just spend 2966 hours of my life grinding to reach a meaningless rank on a game, didn't really prove anything apart from I have more time than sense.

Oh well, onto my next character. :D

Congratulations!!!

Any other legit player around that rank that you know?

I know of 2 other's that have made it to 1000 legit, not friends with them or anything but know they are legit.

At least I can say I achieved something very few will, if you can call it an achievement.

Kinda reminds me of the lvl 100 players in BF3. Everyone just bashed on them. Dodn'

But hey congratulations! You're a seasoned player with expert advice. I know to come to ask you for tips on a mission/ which missioj to do based on rank.

There should be a cash bonus, a car bonus, or a God Mode for lvl 1000 players. BY God Mode I mean like one minute of rampage where you have triple the health and more strength(like a better version of Bull Shark Testosterone, but only call to activate, no pick up or anything). And you could only use it for every 24 hours or so.
 
I'm right at 55. Anyone know a really good way to rank up quickly, and make cash? I've been running Crystal Clear Out III consecutively, but wanted something a little more fun and challenging.

Lester targets, Simeon vehicles, selling cars, robbing stores if you want a somewhat decent income. Sure, it seems obvious for low levels, but it's pretty entertaining with other people trying to kill you. Don't expect much RP though. You could also just join random missions for something different. Deathmatches, races and such also payout pretty well.


People forgot that they can have fun in this game.

I'm almost exclusively running missions. I don't do much free roam.

I'm a little more interested in RP than cash, at least until I hit 120. I am gettingg cash for a buzzard though (1,550,000$ to go), so that would work. Thanks.

Agreed, everyone sees it as either a huge grind (it is, but that's all they wanna do. Take breaks. What's the rush?), or are obsessed with ruining other people's game.

Exactly. Getting money isn't just boring grinding and you could still have fun ever now and then.
 
Reminds me of having fun in free roam:

Whenever I see a bus, I would normally make a halt, jack it and drive it to the airport to re-enact a scene of Speed.

Or this one case where there's an import export happening. And I was in the bus, closer to the docks than the guy who's bringing the requested car.

So I fashioned a roadblock with the bus and went incognito when he got close. When he saw the bus, I texted him a TF2 message:

"Wanna see a magic trick?"

Then suddenly killed him with glorious RPG from roof.

And 2nd text..

"Presto! You're dead!"

Man I'm evil.

I took a 4k hit in the firefight mentioned above.
 
Just do any mission you want, make it varied. Most missions give out 10k minimum anyway. What I tend to do (since the solo random mission thing was broken for me) is just accept an invite from a character, complete the mission and then from there just do missions in the next job selection menu.

I can't join anyone...

Every time I try, they either have a blue globe (and it says we can't play until both of us have completed the tutorial), or the session times out when I try to join them. Anyone else have this problem?

Had that problem a few weeks ago. Pain in the ass. Best way is to invite them into a mission.
 
I've had the tutorial glitch multiple times. If we had the option of skipping the tutorial, or removing it entirely we wouldn't have this problem.
 
You can skip the tutorial on your second character, if you're over a certain level. It has nothing to do with it though, my second character skipped it and there was no difference.

Did it just randomly go away, or did you do something?

Went away.
