Obviously with the nerfing of the M4A1, many of us have been forced to revise strategies. Attempting to find the best area for farming particular categoric items (Gun, Melee, Car, Armour) at the best rates is difficult. I'm no 'regular' to the forum but have used it for a while. Heres my reccommendations, and where I'm at with farming.
Level: 138
Mafia: 500
Attack: 25,396
Defence: 24,709
Non-gold buyer and 100% of my income goes into my economy (or there abouts)
Guns:
(M4A1's - 234, Sawn-Off Shotgun - 39, RPG - 10, 1xGolden M4 and 1xDiamond Sig)
Total - 285
Required - 215
Suggested Action(s) -
1) Save up respect points for the relatively cheap Sawn-Off Shotgun. At 360 Respect a piece, the value of this weapon is now much higher than when the M4 was the farmer's goldmine. It's stats 22/14 offer superior attack to any other weapon which can be purchased.
2) Farming elsewhere? Decent economy? The Grenade Launcher (12/9) is a reasonable $450,000. At just under $40k per attack point, it seems a more logical answer than the Flamethrower at $625,000 (13/9) at almost $50k per attack point. For me, I'd start here if I'm farming something else.
Melee:
(Chain Whip - 46, Serrated Blade - 7, Columbian Knife - 14, Steel Garrote - 1)
Total - 68
Required - 432
Suggested Action(s) -
1) Obviously, I have other melee items, just not worth mentioning. I am yet to discover a suitable farming location for a strong (15+ attack) weapon worth having a crack at. At this point, I am going to reccommend the Steel Garrote. At just $53,000 each for 10 attack, It's good enough to keep you competitive until an item is farmable. Otherwise, throw any left over respect into the 3 mentioned in my inventory)
(Note - I may be ignorant and havn't seen a farmable item for Melee. Please let me know)
Armour:
(Full Combat Gear - 5, Night Vision Goggles - 425)
Total - 430
Required - 70
Suggested Action(s) -
1) It's clear, my intentions are to invest all respect here, until your Attk/Def increases are almost moot. Even still, at this point, I get a +10 bonus for each NVG purchased. When comparing the NVG attack to any cash-purchased Armour, you will spend the bank roll attempting to even come close to 16 attack. (Highest is 12 attack, and its only unlockable at level 155, for $5,500,000)
I cannot see a better option for increasing your Armour attack, and therefore thoroughly suggest investing all respect here.
Cars:
(Excelero - 25, Double Decker - 127, Pimps Lowrider - 3, YRB - 80, Bulldozer - 2, FBI SWAT Van - 8, Hummer - 2)
Total - 247
Required - 253
1) Farm the Double Deckers, before they become nerfed. The $15m+ buy-in is scary, I know. But compare that to the approximate price of a car with about 18 attack. I'd put that at about $20m each, so farming just 1 can be viewed as successful.
2) Respect, Respect, Respect. If you've unlocked the YRB, don't look back at the Mustang ever again. The respect/attack point ratio is almost the exact same, so why not have 1 YRB and a Junker, than 2 mustangs.. Until you have an inventory of 500 solid cars?
3) Buy the cars. By far the last resort, and Infact, I just wouldn't do it. However, if you must, go the Monster Truck. At $1,000,000, 9 attack and 8 defence isnt horrible. The next upgrade attack-wise is the Hummer for $2,800,000 for just +1 attack.
Well, that's my theories on attaining weapons. It may not be great and may need advice, but it's the best I can offer. In summary, my current recommendations:
Guns - Sawn-Off Shotguns
Melee - Steel Garrotes and any affordable respect items
Armour - Night Vision Goggles
Cars - Yamaha Race Bike, Double Deckers, and eventually, Excelero's
Hopefully this assists other current Mid-level players caught in the midst of the M4A1 nerfing.
Note - If anyone does have a good farming location for another gun, or Melee weapon which I havn't come across on the forum and spreadsheet, please comment below.
Hope I've been of some help
