Hey greenthumb, ya skycast is fat and gay. Always give SoT the abuse.
I highly suggest joining lawyer faction, currently its lawyers vs. V-tec most of the time. Lawyers always have fewer numbers due to v-tec constantly swarming lawyers (they still lose however). But if you midnight raiders are 10+, you can join family or brahmin boys so it can be 3 way battle
(at prime time)
There were a lot of changes January, mostly new perks, every zone is capturable, new weapon traits were introduced, new level up perks. Lots of stuff
and as for tips, 8-10 INT is like the average PvP build since you need 200+ weapon skill for weapon perks and eff. range. Some parts of the wiki are up to date but not all
its good to have mix variety of builds in the team, like 3 snipers, 4 tanky spammers/close range or bursters, and 1 -2 sneakers. oh, and a full time medic would be extremely helpful to the team, since injecting SS and FA cost your entire AP bar. medics will waste 50 AP to heal someone to 100% (almost)
AND FREE INGAME REROLLS!! BEST FEATURE IN FONLINE HISTORY!!! (other than reviving a player)
