Certs you SHOULD SPEND IMMEDIATELY! Buy the level 1 increased ammo and level 1 zoom for EVERY vehicle default weapon and equip those upgrades on all of them. They are only 1 cert each, and I cannot tell you how annoying it is to jump into a BR 26's Sunderer's default turret to find that it has NO zoom option. IT'S ONE CERT!

I think you failed to mention, that the Engineer should upgrade their Ammo Box ability in "Engineer Certs". Upgrading it gives the box a radius, in which people can resupply from (which it previously didn't have) and at max level, you can put down 2 boxes at the same time. Resupply XP and their ribbons are a major income source in this game! Without them, its like playing Medic and only healing, but never ever reviving players.

[@CMDRCyrious]

I failed to talk about it, but I did include it in the Spreadsheet.

[@Atropos06]

I know I'm late to the party here, but if I could make a suggestion to new players it would be this: decide how you want to progress in the game before committing to a class other than Engineer/Medic. The reason for this is that the Engineer and the Medic are two of the best classes for generating Certs (the free-to-play currency used to buy weapons and class upgrades.) Now if you're a seasoned FPS player and you just like to frag, then I would suggest kitting out the Heavy Assault or the Light Assault class. If you're new to the game, or if you're like me and just NOT a true-blue FPS beast, then I would strongly suggest getting upgrades for the medic AND engineer. Both of these classes offer support roles that don't require MLG-twitch-headshot-kills to generate a good deal of certs. Also, Medic weapons in general are quite strong and can be used in a supporting role due to their damage/high rate of fire. You can scavenge kills and get partial kill participation like nobody's business. The reason I suggest both medic AND engineer is because that way you'll have your supporting roles covered, and therefore will have a LOT of ways to make Certs depending on the situation. Breaching a room and it's a complete blood bath? Invest in the Medic revive-grenade, throw one into the room, res 10+ people and get like 4-5 Certs for your trouble. Got a couple of MAX units nearby fighting hard? invest in your Engineer repair tool (to enable you to repair for longer stints at a time before waiting for the tool to cool down), drop an ammo box, and just attach that I.V.-bag of Certs to your veins. This method requires more initial cert investment, but it will enable to you make more Certs in more situations without requiring you to be a crack shot. Also, you will run into situations where there are too many Medics, not enough Engineers, and vice versa. And if you can plug that hole, you'll rake in the Certs. Also your fellow players will fucking love you. Repair a MAX (or revive a downed MAX as a Medic) and you will be adored.

Thanks for the info, got tilted not understanding why I couldn't use my sniper last time x]

[@BobSmith-dk8nw]

The Cloaker is a more difficult class to play. There are a lot of things about the game you need to know to not just get slaughtered. One of your biggest problems as a Cloaker is that one of the things you can do - penetration - takes a lot of time ... which as a beginner is better devoted to killing people in a more straight forward manner. The other thing is - they change things - and you really need to know what's changed in operating this class. Just stick with the basic sniper weapon here until you know the game better. You want a position where you can duck behind cover when your cloak depletes and it's much better to be behind your own troops so that they can somewhat protect you. There are certain key transitions you need to get down as a sniper. While down behind cover - let your cloak recharge. Once charged - move quickly into firing position Get your scope up - and quickly select a target Hold your breath Cloak off Try for a head shot - if not NC you need to quickly double tap them. Drop back behind cover and let your cloak recharge. .

[@BobSmith-dk8nw]

@@THECAKEISTALKING You can't cap control points while cloaked any more. .

[@CoolBreezeRus]

5:10 before considering to spend 750 serts on Deluxe Implant Pack, I would recomend doing novice tier derectives for all classes (aside from heavy assault which can be a bit tricky with those launcher kills). Each of them would give you a Novice Implant Pack with 2 implants, so 4*2=8 in total. This will also make you somewhat familiar with each class in the real battle.

[@matej670]

Dont buy implant packs unless you bought everything else, all exceptionals i got were from reciclers. Just play the game you get alot of implants from alerts and iso4.

[@miguelrivas4649]

Could you please give me some insight in how I can access the directives and how do they work? I have been playing like a week or so and I have like 12 implants but I have no idea how i got them

[@CoolBreezeRus]

​@@miguelrivas4649 You can find derectives in the menu (just press "Esc" and find the tab that looks like a star in a circle). Those are basicly challenges wich you can complete to get derective poins (they are account wide and seen by other players) as well as some exclusive rewards like armour skins, weapons and implant packs. Unlike some other game mechanics (like leveling and gaining certs) those are truly F2P and cannot be done by spending real money. For more info see Planetside 2 Fandom wiki page.

[@miguelrivas4649]

@@CoolBreezeRus great, thanks, im on ps4 so no ESC for me, but I will search in the wiki. This game is a bit difficult to understand as a noobie. Also, do you have any advice's on increasing ttk? Because I find it pretty slow when compared to other games (bf1 and bf4 mainly)

[@CoolBreezeRus]

@@miguelrivas4649 Indeed, ttk is quite big in this game. Never had ps4 so im not familiar with how do you even aim properly. But if you do manage to track your targets, try using bolt-action sniper rifle. Its a one hit kill in the head (except for heavy assaults with overshields and maxes) or 2 hit kill in the body. Originaly I got hooked by playing infiltrator, but other classes can also be deadly if you land all the shots. Try aiming to the upper chest/head area and shooting with 3-5 round bursts. Holding the trigger only quite works at close range. If you are a vehicle guy, i would recomend getting rocket pods on ESF (1 seat plane), this would increase your KD alot.

[@StrixyN]

"... which is a whole different play style". I think that's the feature that's kept my interest for 6+ years. I can sit down and play 4 or 5 unique styles that I know I enjoy or I can try something new by experimenting with a different load out. When I started out I looked for the big battles in bases and played medic. Easy and fast certs. Finding a Max and following them around as an engineer was easy certs. Those two roles also got me the necessary experience to learn the flow of battle in the most common bases. At some point it occurred to me that I could get around that flow with a light assault and really wreck havock in the enemy lines. That became my favorite play style even though my certs per minute suffered, my k/d suffered and my kpm suffered, but It's fun and that's what counts for me. Once I figured that out I spent some money to buy weapons with DBC that supported those styles. I didn't want to waste certs on them, but more than that; I like the game, so why not show some love for the devs?

[@AnimeT0getherEU]

I personally love playing support. I'm always ready to play medic or engi for placing barriers and repairing MAX and vehicles.

[@davecrupel2817]

If you like to play as one class, but want to have a good variety of tasks and roles to perform, and a variety of enemy types you can handle decently, the engineer is the class for you. If you like to primarily focus on taking down vehicles, and/or providing suppressing fire for your advancing allies, the heavy assault is your class. If you like to avoid big engagements, or avoid being in the middle of them, while picking off stragglers, or keep enemies stumbling or behind cover, or preparing a point for your allies ahead of them, the infiltrator is for you. Also, I'm gonna mention something Cyrious should have mentioned about the infiltrator. This is important. If you equip the stalker cloak, *you cannot use your primary weapon.* keep that in mind. If you like to play the role of distraction for your enemy, giving your allies precious seconds free from enemy fire, including vehicles? Light assault is for you. (If you're really good you can even destroy some vehicles with this class) If you want to bring the big guns, heavy armor, to reinforce your allies that are pushing a point, a MAX suit has your name on it. And last, but far from least. If you want to keep your allies alive, return them to life, and keep them in the fight, the medic is your class. Those who have played the medic in Team Fortress 2 will feel _right at home_ with the Medic's revive tool in Planetside 2. Plus your healing grenades, revive grenades, and more. Also, let me be clear. *Medics can revive MAXes.* Most people still don't realize this. So please share it, mention it in proximity chat, and spread the word.

[@attackpig]

Good intro vid for the new people. This is a very difficult topic to tackle, because everyone has their own preference of play style and it is therefore impossible to make a standard across the board recommendation for initial cert purchases. I know it's impossible to cover everything in one video but you left something important out - level one deployment shield for the sunderer. It only costs 50 certs and adds 2500 health that can regenrate while it's deployed. New players can earn a lot of certs from a well placed sunderer and the deployment shield makes it nearly unkillable.

[@Frost87112]

[@TheRogueWolf]

Definitely a good idea to master one class while learning the game- it saves having to figure out multiple playstyles at the same time. But you did leave out one bit of information that gets asked about in a lot of /yells: Stalker cloak disables your primary weapon. Also, two C4 won't destroy a Sunderer, but will get it down to the point where one Rocklet magazine will likely finish it off. (But a shield Sunderer's shield will absorb the entire blast from C4 or tank mines triggered all at once, even if it's more damage than the shield has health.)

[@justinsteidl8151]

So any advice on ways to disable the shield before wasting explosives on it?

[@TheRogueWolf]

@@justinsteidl8151 Use rockets or the Rocklet Rifle on it until the shield visibly breaks. Or alternatively, use one brick of C4 at a time.

Important: No matter who you are or what you do in this game, buy these two things: Fire suppression rank 1 for sunderer and Deployment Shield rank 1 for sunderer. This gives your sundy 2500 extra health when you deploy and makes it a beast. Not even 5 tank mines can destroy it

If you want to AT tank, probably the most important certification is the reload speed. While you might be doing the same damage per shot, shooting 4 times, while the enemy can only shoot 3 times (or whatever the specifics are) really adds up, especially when you max it out.

[@antwan1357]

I know this sounds bad to tell New players , but if you want certs faster you should invest in things that will help you earn certs faster instead of being a better PvP player sadly. Without any certs to speak of the only two best options are dispensing ammo packs , and cortium ANT farming. Then finding a base to drop them off at. To build up that sweet combat build you want .cortium ANT FARMING is you optimal option.

[@friedec3622]

yes, but it will make new player always become a new player. Get your ass up to battle and die, you will learn much from it. Avoiding battle and watch from afar can't make you better in this game, in this case not a better weapon or suit, but aiming skill, positioning skill, predicting skill, differentiate your ally and foe, and for NC shooting skill (knew when you release the weapon trigger). When first I playing this game as TR, I can't differentiate my ally, so I'm ended up shooting my own ally (red title name means enemy right? ) and not my enemy (NC) lol

Thank you for being a streamer and TR. TR is suffering right now with low population on my server, Emerald TR suffers on the hours I play generally 4~5% diminished global pop compared to NC and VS.

Sorry it didn't make it into the discussion. - Thought I talked about engie shield regen a lot, maybe I cut that bit. - Ambushers with shotgun is pretty expensive to get setup really well, but I did list unlocking Ambushers in the spreadsheet. - I talk about cool things, because people will be drawn to them and have questions. By bringing them up, but recommending against them, I answer the question on if its worth spending on them early, but they now know its cool and maybe after 15. Appreciate the feedback!

I remember the summation of the 1st time I ever played Planetside 2 to be just: CONFUSED SCREAMING

[@sudd3660]

thank you for this video, certainly useful :) i been away for a while and saved up certs or got refunded or something, i am over battle rank 100 and there is something new for me i can spend 10'000 certs on. im just saying that it would be nice with advanced cert guide also, or something for people coming back and looking to spend certs, don't want to waste 10'000 certs..... also thanks for the tengu code information, going to play with it later today :)

[@CMDRCyrious]

I will try to get to a more advanced cert guide soon!

[@iamtj111]

Honestly bro, you over br 100 which means you probably have almost all the stuff you want unlocked, you could probably just blow it all since there really isn’t much to spend it on. The A.S.P system, or if you want to try construction.

Just let everyone be your personal shield and play in whatever way you want lol, have been playing this game since 6+ years ago (not continuously but still) I never worry of leveling or upgrading something first because it will completely change your gameplay, it wont. If you suck at FPS you will continue sucking at FPS, it all comes naturally, just play the game, practice, if you die big deal, respawn and continue. Upgrade what you think would give you more fun. In the end, in a big 180+ fight, one single character won't switch the battle, this is a team kind of game. What comes handy though, is knowing all this information upfront, to know what each thing does and how it affects your character :) then you decide what to do.

Start as engineer. Most point gain possible. Ammo and repairing is a team saver. Buy the Gauss Compact and put the grenade launcher on it, it is a very strong AT and AP weapon on direct hits couples with AT mines well. Buy the AV mana turret, it can one shot light aircraft and is great at supporting allies. Free sunderer events are common, buy the vehicle ammo resupply and stay near tanks. When your team moves, move with them and get free points from respawns and resupplies. Best cert gain for new players. Keeping teammates up with ammo and armor is invaluable in big fights. Double down on MAXes, throw down a ammo pack and repair the max, watch the points rain.

[@yuligamein5502]

Mine republic prowler panzer makes me very happy

[@carpetbomb8986]

I've been spending most of my certs on shield defense for infantry, I find that I win more fire fights because of this

[@therebelfrogy9287]

The NA-357 likes Revolver in BF1.

[@honorguard7616]

Gotta admit,EMPs are great when paired with sweeper due to killing blokes with their own mines is a jolly laugh

[@iwilldrinkfromyourskull9964]

a really amazing game, just too bad the briggs server is basically always dead.. Good video aswell, learnt some valuable stuff after investing almost 400 into my VS character

[@archorboy11]

I immediately bought the railjack for sniping

[@Shibansh]

Bruh i have just bought one refile in my two weeks lifespan as a gamer. Upon buying it i realized that the default weapon given in the game are actually quite good in themselves.
