What to pick for 2.9k spark plugs in R&D?

Discussion

I was gifted the R&D BP, but I lost my laptop and was forced to take a 1 month.

I currently have 2820 spark plugs, and with about 19 days left on the pass, I think i can get another 2 levels, which is 80 spark plugs, making it a total of 2900 (and maybe 3000 if I didn’t miss out the league rewards for those 2 more weeks).

With just short of 3000 spark plugs, a 2nd Legendary cabin is basically impossible. The best i should do is to pick 2 fused epics.

what on the fused epic weapon/modules on the list should I pick? After all, not all of them are god-fused (like Equalizers and fidgets, those 2 still need spread reduction more than projectile speed), and I believe my current expected spark plugs can only exchange 2 fused epic parts.

Don’t forget about 100 spark plugs from leagues and potentially 50-100 from the leaderboard, you can get the cab

I’ve been trying exchanging mine for non-fused epics and storage expansion.

There were a few items where I only needed one for a complete set, and I also used some the crate items to fuse things I already had in my storage.

For me, this event hasn’t been about the rewards. I just like the format, and I like trying to rank as high as I can each week in a mode where no one can buy much of an advantage.

i don’t have a stable wifi or band network, so i really don’t have the time to no-life myself into the top 100.

my estimation of 3000 spark plug already included the 100 spark plugs from the leaderboard. I’m literally 500 short.

Well, in that case. First of all - buying anything to sell is eh, you wouldn’t get much profit from it. So pick the fused parts only.

Next - i don’t recommend getting weapons or cabs. Most of these are not meta and their fusions aren’t even insanely great. And for the weapons, you’ll need 3-4 for the most of them anyways.

For the hardware? Well,
Ammorack is a waste of spark plugs. 120 coins on the market lol
Seal ALWAYS gets fused for +efficiency so there’s a reason to random fuse it. Same with shiver and flywheel
Engines, while are a bit nice, aren’t fused properly (except for colossus, it has perfect hover fusions).
Tormentor is godly BUT only on two weapons (one of them is a relic).
Keen and gasgen… why.

That leaves you with 3 choices: armored tracks, meat grinders or bigfoots. All these are reasonably good now, have some meta builds in CC / BfU based on them (though meat grinders have very little of them) and are pretty useful

I just checked the fused part list again.

Harpy and Aggressor is fine. I would recommend Aggressor since Tardgem removed it from the Varun pack (replaced it with jannabi cabin). Can’t recommend the rest.

Spectre is the only machine gun that have better use on projectile speed instead of spread, so it is a god-fuse in the event list, but you’ll need 3, which 3k spark plug could only give 2. better ramdom-fuse regular one instead.

Gremlin and Thunderbolt is god-fuse with RoF, and I only need 2 since i mix the latter with hammerfall, but they’re too cheap on the market to use spark plugs. Rupture is also god-fuse but i don’t even have one, so yeah I’m going to random-fuse regular one.

not sure if Arothorn is a good fuse, cuz shotguns are now projectile based, and idk if ranged shotgun such as Arothron and Parser need spread reduction or PjS more.

Whirlwind and Whirl are both god-fused here, but I already have 3 god-fused Whirlwind (dmg resistance is the same as dura when they’re stand alone, anyway), so I only need 1 more Whirl, but then i have yet to make a heavy cabin Whirl build, so idk if i want to use spark plugs on getting one.

cannons are heavy af, and I’m almost certain i want -mass instead for everything above Hulk, so pass.

I know crickets are good with Steppe Spider but idk if i want spread over more projectile speed. I don’t even use it as i already got my epic rocket trial done with snowfall.

I want projectile speed on grenade launchers, so hard pass for both of them in R&D.

I actually still use Phoenix every now and then, so a pair of god-fused is very tempting, but i think they’re cheap enough to random-fuse?

Both melee weapons are god-fuse on their own, but i have yet to find a use for Mauler. in fact, i think you want damage resistance on Lacerators if you use them exclusively on the same vehicle, since different survivability bonus stack by multiplications, while the same one stack by addition.

Incin is god-fuse, but I have a better time using a remedy dumptruck art dog, so… i have to personally pass.

Skinner is god-fused, but i already have one, and king dragger no longer works with the current matchmaking where you have to fight someone double your size, both weight and PS score. good to keep but i definitely not going after another one.

As for the modules, Flywheel fuse is good but they’re cheap on the market, and with only 2 parameters you can random fuse it real fast.

tormentor and keen are both bad cuz you want -mass on keen and active time on tormentor.

most of the engines i have is god-fused, and i’m not using hover, so i can skip them all.

I have 2 fused Seal already, but i do have 1 build that uses 2 Shiver, and right now i’m not having much luck on buying 2 more regular shiver back for a random fuse.

Cheeks item that has a godly fusion is still a cheeks 35% WN item
