TL:DW Summary *Certs* -almost everything you'll ever need to get the good functional stuff in the game. Earned by being useful and stop ignoring dead friendlies when ur a medic. *A7* -space bitcoin to splash in your favourite Auraxian black market. Earned by doing alerts and decrypting weird fairy dust in the middle of nowhere. *Nanites* -haha C4 go boom and tank goes pew pew. The planetside's equivalent of Centrelink welfare, earned by just being alive. *Merits* -your bonus check for being a productive member of society (or in this case, your outfit) to spend on spicy tactical items. Earned by taking/defending bases as a member of any outfit. *ISO-4* -wtf is this (upgrade or craft implants). Earned by winning alerts and breaking down dupes *Daybreak Coin* -metallic pink camo or gtfo my spandex party.

[@KaiDaKip]

@Juan When traveling through bases and the map, there is a chance that there are blue orbs on electrical consoles, the blue computers you see everywhere. You can decrypt these, and then collect them again which get you A7. A nice bonus on the side, however it is better to attend alerts if grinding for A7.

[@emerykj1830]

update: Don't bother farming A7, you don't get it from anything other than missions and super random blue orbs on consoles now.

Hey Cyrious, I just want to thank you, for all the great and really helpful things you do for this game and community. After not being able to play this game for about 2-3 years, it is very nice to have videos at my disposal, such as yours, to bring my understanding of this game back full throttle. I really enjoy watching your videos. I think your style of videomaking has just the right balance. It doesn't overwhelm people, who don't know this game, but it also to delivers all the important information very clear, so that everybody can follow your suggestions. So again, thank you for your work. You helped me a great deal, getting my stuff together and making me able to enjoy the game again. And I'm sure, that I'm not going to be the last one.

[@AjayKumar-ht9pk]

5:30 Cyrious ISO-4 is actually the currency used to play roulette in Planetside with the faint hope of getting Carapace one day.

[@Crolis]

Commander Cyrious. Thanks so much for continuing to make content for Planetside 2. I tried it out back when the game started, took a break and recently came back since the Escalation update. Your videos have really helped me get back up to speed on the changes!

[@Orignlcoolguy]

I can't wait to see what is to come, thank you for the vids Cyrious and a shooting mechanics video would help players at any level.

[@davorko755]

Hey, just wanted to let you know that your videos were a big part of me coming back to PS2 and having a good time ingame. Keep up the good work!

[@atonement3984]

Thank you for making these videos for new and returning players. I try to get people to play this game and when they are unsure of something i simply just show them your channel, people like you really help keep this game going and keep the community strong! o7

[@eris902]

When it comes to ISO-4 I get the feeling that it's a touchy subject. While personally I heavily dislike the lootbox grind and straight up numerical advantages in power, (Yes implants add a lot of gameplay variety, but they are one of the few example of a veteran/whale advantage) they are also one of the few montitisation sources in the game.

[@jimjones9631]

I haven't played this since launch so thank you for going over all these changes.

[@frogie4life84]

Thank you for posting this video. It was really interesting and some of them didn't knew you can buy those items you mentioned in the video. Thanks

Perfect follow up to the other three starter videos. Thanks!

[@Smokinlucretia]

Thank you for the Explanation, Commander Cyrious. I needed a breakdown for the new stuff :D

[@Borgnrox]

Good to know, thanks! I'm relatively new to the game, joined at the beginning of the quarantine and I don't see myself quitting anytime soon. Something that I've struggled a littlebit to understand, is the strategic map layout of different outpost types, grand strategy aswell as the combat-spawning system that comes with it. I joined a large outfit a while back, and whilst I can often times hear the platoon leader thinking outloud on what strategy to use, where to redeploy etc, its always beyond my understanding as to why. Something else thats quite confusing is the spawning system in the game. After a month of playing, I've only just understood why, sometimes, I can't seem to spawn when all my platoon teamates just deployed into an area. That led to some frustrating moments ! Anyways, thank you for the quality of your content. I've not been here long, but I can already tell why your voice is one that is appreciated in the community.

[@csakip]

There is so much you can do in this game. The Escalation currencies are overcomplicated I think.

[@bumblebeeisfree]

In my opinion they are unnecessary they could've gotten away with iso and making iso drops smaller or increase the amount things sell at the sanctuary. But oh well 🤷‍♂️

[@KrispyKorps]

Good stuff. I knew nothing about the Escalation currencies until now.

[@legomax382]

I took a long break from PS2 but came back because your videos popped back into my recommended :)

[@kinnusai4432]

When I started playing a few months ago, I was really tempted to spend some certs on one of those deluxe implant packs just to get me started. I think you mentioned in a previous video that it was better to craft them and spend certs on your classes at first. So thanks for that advice, I've actually got some implants through the novice directives now so I may well have received a bunch of duplicates if I'd been less patient and not received your advice. I had no idea there were caps on the amount of each currency. Really useful info that I've obviously missed somehow. Not that I'm anywhere near reaching any of those caps lol. I will be one day though. I'm still at the stage of buying all the composite armours/helmets from the merit store. Now my medic has a cooler helmet and doesn't look like the default noob medic :) The ASP skills! Again, I had no idea those existed. For some reason I had assumed the system was for subs only but you can unlock it with certs which is really good to know. Something really cool to look forward to once I eventually reach the higher levels. The A7 terminals... I actually found one of those! To be honest, I wouldn't have known to look for it had I not watched a video that someone posted on the Planetside 2 Reddit page a while ago. I've only found one so far and I got something like 37 A7 from it. It wasn't a lot but every little helps when you're only a few months into your tour of duty on Auraxis. Just a quick bit of advice for anyone who finishes an alert and doesn't get their A7, certs and ISO-4. This happened to me last night and I think it may have happened because I died about 10 seconds before the end of the alert. For some reason, instead of waiting for my reward (not much point in respawning for 10 seconds) I decided to get a head start on the next continent and redeployed. After the loading screen, I had no info in my chat about my rewards and I didn't get those rewards either. I logged out later to go put my 11 month old son back in his bed for the 500th time (slight exaggeration there) and when I logged back in, all my rewards were sitting there waiting for me. So if you don't get your various currencies maybe just wait a little bit, try logging off and back on. They do appear eventually. I don't know if this is a known bug or if it's at all common but it has happened to me once. And finally, Cyrious I know you're TR at heart but I main NC. Nothing has made me happier during this whole pandemic than logging onto my laptop and seeing your stream where you played NC! The shirt and cowboy hat were a very nice touch that really put a smile on my face. Btw you need to get to BR35 before you can pick the Commando title. I think you were like BR28 or so by the end of the stream so you're not too far away... a little motivation to play some NC there ;) I noticed when you logged in that you have an NC character on Cobalt, the server I play on. Do you ever play on Cobalt or was that just something you did for covering the outfit wars? o7

[@degenatron1604]

I think a great "First X Hours" episode in the series would be "Using Force Multipliers". One of the biggest issues I see with new players is their reluctance to pull vehicles other than flashes and sunderers. There seems to be a reluctance to pull MBTs and Lightnings - especially when the enemy has vehicles around the base. A quick run-down on when (breaking a siege) and where (pulling from the previous base) might go a long way to getting me some help out there in the field with my lone NSO Lightning. Thanks for the great content!
