best weapons money can buy

[whocareswhatmynameis]

this question is directed towards very high level players (140+)...

there has been a lot of discussion about the best ways of spending respect points. some have suggested that with a really great economy, weapon purchase can be done using in-game cash. what are the best weapons money can buy? and do you or your opponents own some?

I'm not high-level, but I can say that the Chain Whip and Full Combat Gear offer better att/def than anything else I can see (except gold items), and both those are respect items.

thanks for your input. i agree that chain whip and full combat gear are great respect items. what i would like to get some clarification on is whether there are purchasable weapons (in-game cash) with equivalent or better stats than these.

The FBI shield has comparable defense stats to the FCG but the attack sucks. As for the Chain Whip, I don't think there are any non-gold melee items that compare to it. Heck, even the M4A1 doesn't have as high of an attack as the whip and barely beats it in defense.

at lvl 112, the most expensive (in-game cash) weapons by category are:

gun- name?, accessed at lvl 135, 7mil, 19/11
melee- chainsaw, 3.1mil, 16/9 (no locked weapon in melee category for my level)
armor- i) FBI shield, 1.5mil, 1/24 & ii) name?, accessed at lvl 155, 5.5mil, 12/20
vehicle- some sort or plane-jet fighter?, accessed at lvl 195, 84mil, 24/36

are there more expensive weapons (esp melee)?

I'm level 146. There is nothing else in my store.

The gun is called a rocket launcher

At level 145 (I think) you get access to a new explosive - Sarin gas grenade $100,000 = 30 att 0 def

thanks joeycool.

the absence of a more powerful melee weapon is weird. from the information available, it appears that buying expensive weapons may not be a worthwhile endgame strategy. the only weapon which has better stat than its RP conterpart is ?jetfighter. but the price is outrageous (84mil a piece).

any thoughts?

I'm setting up my Econ for missile turrets and attack explosives. Garrotes and 69s for a quick boost untill the get replaced with RP items... Had this plan for ages now....

Good Econ = explosives

That's why I'm not totally going mad on Econ and just setting up the 12 24 and 48s

Sarin gas costs me $325K.....if you can buy at 100K then it is a bargain for you

[Joeycool]

Yeah its def £100k for me. You must be on the new prices. On the plus side apparently your explosives will last longer apparently
