Requesting Assistance With The Ultimate Begginners Guide

I am putting together the ultimate begginners guide.
It will have every little detail I can think of to help begginners get off to a good start.
It will cover every aspect of Battle Bay including gameplay, items/ships, guilds, friends, infamy, the market, crates, quests and anything else I can think of.

I could use your help gathering all the tips and tricks that will provide the best Battle Bay experience possible.
For experienced players comment anything you wish you knew when you were first getting started
For new players, if there are any topics that you wish to learn more about comment those and I will do my best to find and include the answers.

Thank you all in advance!!

 

One thing I wish I’d figured out sooner is when an interesting item/weapon pops up on your calendar that you want to try out, first go buy one at the shop before you claim it then you’ll have two for evolving faster

 

-Don't buy the starter package offering you rare equipment. It will eventually turn into an epic equipment package for just a little bit more $$.

-Skip commons and uncommons.

-You can't level everything and you can't save everything. Pick a few to focus on at a time and scrap the ones you don't plan on using right away. Use those parts to level the items you use. Then when those items are leveled, you can level your less popular items.

-Join a guild ASAP.

 

-Buy commons and scrap them for a chance of getting rare pieces.
-Find a good fleeting partner to climb infamy.
-Firing a heavy weapon such as an explosive cannon or railgun will blind your opponent. Use the milliseconds to move into position for a second attack.
-Use rares, as you will need many items for the new HCDM and epics may not be available for beginners. Rares are also easier to level up and find duplicates.
-(This one I really wish I knew when I started) Lead your shots and ride the waves.
-Explode torpedos against walls to damage the enemy rather than trying to hit them fully.
-Mines and naplam are meant to be used in an enclosed space.
-Firing a railgun too close to your target will reduce it's damage.

 

Never even thought of that lol, it's going in.

Adding the first 2, covered the second 2

Very good tips, added

 

If you see a stunned opponent - LEAVE THEM ALONE. Unless they're so low on HP that you can one shot them, they are not your target.

 

I forgot to mention, I'll be including links to other guides that go deep into detail on specific topics so feel free to add the link here.
For example TheAntiSnipes guide on wave manipulation explains it way better than I ever could so I gave a breif description and linked his guide. With permission of course

 

Good point, I'll add a section about effects (stun/Frost) explaining how they work and how to use them effectively.

 

Sweet. I'll see what I can find replay wise with some nice bolt hits, especially manipulating 2v1s when both opponents have more than my HP lol

 

Also - PROTECT your Fixers. They can't keep you alive if you don't help them out.

 

lol me all the time

also another tip: save up your guild tokens to max unless you see something in the draws that you desperately want. I like to think of it as a field, every time you draw its "tilling" the soil a bit so you get better rewards when you next till but if you only till a tiny bit every time but lots of times, you only get lots of uncom parts and cr@p. as opposed to if you till a sh!t ton at once you get heaps of good stuff over and over again!!

 

Weapons with fast projectile speed are good for starting out with. I'd recommend:

Sniper cannon
Gatling gun
Standard cannon

Also, mortars are very beginner-friendly because of the large AoE

 

Also, START WITH RARES! Commons and uncommons aren't good enough, and epics are too hard to get duplicates for. Start upgrading you're favorite rare equipment, and save epic duplicates for those items. In fact, I'd recommend saving all epic duplicates unless you really know you don't like that item.

 

Got it, I'll also add to this. Saving epic duplicates until you can that item to T4 will let you focus your resources into powerful items instead of upgrading epics hodgepodge style.
