Thread: A tip for Commando's RE: Getting Weapons when money is tight
I play a commando on flurry, and after buying all my weapons (Flamethrower, HAR, LP, Grenades, RocketLauncher) I am very very very very poor. However, talking to the weaponsmith whom I got the guns from, I have a tip for all commando's who need commando guns, but dont have cash in the bank.
What weaponsmiths need in spades is resources, especially minerals. All players have 10 lots in the game to place structures, and weaponsmiths typically use most of theirs for factorys. So if they can get a dedicated source for their minerals (e.g. Another player who uses their lots for resources he needs) they usually will give that player a discount on guns, or pay 4-5c per unit on the resources they get, which is quite a bit of money if you do it right. I became a dedicated supplier for my weaponsmith on Flurry, I basically have 6 medium harvestors that I put down wherever he says to put them down, untill he says to move them, and he buys the resources I mine at 4c per unit, and gives a discount on allcommando weapons. Its a win-win situation for both parties involved, as you make money to buy guns and other things (spices, food, buffs, etc) and he makes even MORE cash gouging other people for guns.
Just thought id pass along that tip for commando's who need a bit of cash.
P.S. If you dont have the capitol to start your mining operation, ask the weaponsmith to front the money needed to start you up, usually they will considering they need the resources badly.
