What should I spend my A7 (the red stuff) on?
The cap is 5000, and I have around 4.5k, so I need to spend it soon to avoid capping out. There are weapons in the Sanctuary, such as the Shortbow, but I'm not sure which ones are worth getting. I mainly play Engineer as VS, and I mainly use the VE-C Horizon and the VE-LR Obelisk.

Going to have to buy everything there eventually so it doesnt really matter.

I don't feel like any of them are worth getting but at least the shortbow is like, cool.

I bought the burlap camo. The short bow seems like a good way to get killed unless your shooting from a distance at a stationary target no one is guarding.

The only weapon that I thought was viable was the show down. I could see using it as a stalker infiltrator. Still I don't think I'm going to buy it though.

It's a useless weaker version of the already useless and weak NS-Archer. Nothing about the shortbow is good.

Right, according to you, if it's not mounted on a Harasser, it's not good. Why do you continue plaything this game if you hate it so much?

Quoted for emphasis. He keeps calling the devs names and saying how bad the game is now and how he used to like it but now he hates it.

All you have to do is stop playing. Nothing lasts forever, bruh. If I could I'd still be playing Maplestory and S4 League but we can't always get what we want.

If you don't already have the Archer the Shortbow might be a good buy. The Archer is better in most situations, but the Shortbow is far from useless. The anti-material rifles are niche weapons, but they are the only two weapons in the game that fill that niche.

Example: I'm in a harasser, I get into a fight with another harasser. My harasser is destroyed but I'm able to dismount first. The badly damaged enemy harasser attempts to withdraw, but a single long range Archer shot gives me the kill, a kill I wouldn't have otherwise gotten if I didn't have that anti-material rifle.

More likely example: the enemy zerg just pulled like thirty maxes, which take loads of damage from the Archer at sniper range and can't effectively return fire at sniper range.

I bought the pistol, pretty good hipfire.

Get the Showdown. Put it on a Stalker Camo infiltrator. Wild West on people for the memes.
