Faction CA mk2 - 1000 caps
Combat leather coat - 1125 caps (!!!)
You just compared armors of different levels, gj.
We all know that leather jacket suppose to be "equal" combat armor, and CLC to SCAmk3.
Also where's the weapon cost, hm? Don't see it in the list.
...wat
No weapon costs because most weapons are not buyable. And for crafting they more or less all cost the same: Some junk items and a somewhat rare crafting item.
@Anza:
Im sorry if you took this as flaming, but you are presenting a very one-sided view on the whole argumentation and almost everything you are saying is based on 1on1 fights only. Yeah of course (old) sneak is powerful if you catch someone by surprise in a 1on1 fight in the core, but so is every other weapon. Yet you and a few others dont consider the many downsides of playing sneak in battles that actually matter (ZC):
- You will be somewhere behind the enemy, not only do you have to watch out for where the enemies are looking, you also have to watch out for any bursters on your own team. If youre somewhere in their large cone of burst fire, you will get desneaked with your pants down right between a dozen enemies.
- As soon as someone brings a defibrillator, your kills suddenly matter way less. Any player you backstab can then be revived again and if hes on the defib cooldown and knows a sneaker is around is gonna play much more careful.
- No score inflation and increased cap rewards by shooting back and forth between the firing lines. Only ranged weapons have this option, for melee be it sneak or not, they have to go all in and get the kill in one try or they die themselves.
@Naossano:
Do you actually think that PKS gunners only come to fight with an armor and a pack of ammos ? And we are those who have no idea about what we are talking about ?
Yeah, you definitely have no idea what you are talking about.
What i listed is the bare minimum. But for
BOTH classes. Of course im not listing any stimpaks or healing items, but im also not listing the gigantic amounts of voodoo i drink during fights. Or my 8x Scope for increasing my viewrange. Or my secondary weapons (Oh wait, those were taken from me with the unfair weight limits on sneaking).
@ Everyone that went for the "muh scout" and "muh valuable information" arguments. NOBODY has fun playing a human ward like Myakot said. And if you do, stop playing AoP and apply for a position as a night guard somewhere. You can do the same boring shit there and also get paid in the process, wow!
Furthermore the need for players relaying information was greatly reduced. It is now globally announced where and how many people are in any given area of the core unless they own the map.
Scouting inside a building with closed doors is also impossible for a sneaker. If the enemy team is hiding inside you catch 1-2 bursts to the face as you open the door and drop dead instantly due to weaker armor and guaranteed bypass crits (here's the "no chance of retaliation" argument from the view of a sneak now).
The only scouting feature a pure sneaker brings to the table right now is to cross a grid as the first person and tell his squad whether or not the other side is safe.
