Optimal Loadout?

[mans got drip✅]

Anyone can recommend me a good loadout which i can take into open world and one for FOB? I got used to very very very low cheap basic gear because of the early game...(cheap guns, lvl 1 box and grenades and thats it) I am at the end game and i got no idea what is considered a cheap loadout since i feel like spending over 20-30k is ALOT. ( i got no idea how development cost works if its every flight to the mission/map or what? )

The deployment costs are applied each time you leave to free roam/start a mission/do a FOB. If you're at the end of the game and can do event fobs, GMP costs can be more or less ignored in your loadout. You only really need to think about other resources.

Essentially, try to stick to 5* and lower for missions/free roam because there's no real reason to use any of the 6+ stuff out there. It costs WAY more and the extra damage isn't needed.

If you wanna be effective at fob then you are going to be spending a hell of a lot more than 20-30k each run. try trippling it! for effective fob you'll either want to take the serval sniper with silencer attachment or a NL sniper for headshotting..... the stun s1000 shotgun with silencer or a rifle (if you take the NL sniper).... handguns you probably want either the AM114 riot pistol for lethal bases or something like the WU +SB (I think that's speled right) for NL sniper bases to tranq them or distract them..... then the standard equipment like sleep grenades , noctocyanin, a box or 2 etc.

You can check my videos out if you want, I think there are a couple of stealth playthroughs there which may help you

I'm talking about FOB only though :D

I don't remember the last time I spent less than 200k gmp on a FOB loadout. 10x or higher would be more accurate once you actually get going.

when you do FOB's it is hard to overspend stuff if you keep it real

How Is that even worth it? I don'T understand... I play on XBox and I gon't have gold. so FOB is limited for me, and I also just got access to it. But nothing I've done in FOB so far even comes close to pay back for that kind of cost... Just those 4200 prescious metal would be worth 4.2 MILLIONS GMP. how can you gain that back doing FOB? I don't understand...

I'm at mission 25 I think now, and my sortie cost me somewhere between 15 and 20k... plus almost no plants/materials... I basically have a 3-4*WU with a R2 silencer... a 2-3*NL sniper with R2 suppressor, and a 3-4* MRS again with R2 silencer that I almost never use... I got nades (2*), c4(1-2*), a 1* box, and 2-4*NVG. Thats it. I usually do very well in PvE although better gear might help being quicker, but all in all... I don't see the point to move up to equipment that would even cost double that.. Can'tt imagine how a loadout that comes out to aroung 6-7mil GMP(counting the materials) like that o_O

6-7 mil? The one he posted with the tank is 900k. Also, dont' ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sell precious metal. It's far more valuable than the GMP you'd get for selling it.

i've been using the same low cost FOB loadout for forever:

--primary--
UN-ARC rifle Grade *5 (optional DGL UDBL -GL (stun grenade launcher)
AM MRS-73 NL sniper Grade *8 (S-Foregrip)
--secondary--
WU S.PISTOL AP Grade *5
STUN ARM Grade *4
--support weapons--
Active Decoy Grade *5
Sleep Grenade Grade *5
Smoke Grenade Grade *5
Hand Grenade Grade *8
Magazine
Petrol Bomb Grade *5
--items--
C.BOX (city) Grade *3
C.BOX (wr) Grade *4
NVG Grade *5
--tools--
INT-SCOPE Grade *4
iDroid Grade *4
Fulton Device Grade *4

== costs: GMP 566870, Lutea 2, African Peach 224, Golen Crescent 32, Minor Metal 1230, Common Metal 8830, Biological Material 15, Fuel Resources 100

[all weapons are customized for maximum distance (2 lvl zoom scope attachments), max silence (3rd tier suppressors), maximum aiming (laser scoped), and max nighttime visibility (flashlights)]

easy to recover mats and plants with one successful FOB run, so loadout is virtually cost-free.

see, I never use flashlights for visibility. I only ever use them to blind guards for that quick one second stun it does.

op didn't ask about the little tactics that arise from equipping certain gadgets, so i didn't share those. but i'm glad you provided that extra info, Seamus.

I understand that but you missed my point entirely. The point is that that loadout is worth a lot. I considered te materials cost just because you do need to take into account their vale somehow, as I barely even have 4200 prescious metal. I'm asking how is it possible that this loadout is worth it.

Because FOB runs can reward rather massive amounts. Hell, the event fobs tend to reward 400-600k GMP.

[Bugjuice]

My current deployment cost:
GMP 731270, wormwood 87, lutea 50, peach 77, crescent 147,precious metals 3688, minor 1316, common 9116, bio 875, fuel 100. Haven't fail much with this setup, the only material I can't seems to recover now is the precious metals, which I recall it stuck at 1mil for a few months.
