User:Rastanari/Weapon Progression

Weapons with the prefix "MK1-" comprise a special set of weapons intended for beginning players. Early in the game these weapons are mentioned but not emphasized.

MK1 weapons can be bought from the Market for credits and be equipped and used immediately. They do not need to be built in the Foundry and no other resources are required to acquire them.

Each MK1 weapon also has a follow-up, stronger weapon by the same name but without the "MK1-" prefix. For example, the MK1-Braton rifle has a subsequent, improved model named the Braton.

It appears the intended progression for these weapons is for beginning players to buy each of the MK1 weapons, level them up to maximum rank, and then to acquire the subsequent model and level that weapon to maximum rank as well.

Beginning players are strongly recommended to embrace and follow this progression plan.

Note that the subsequent, improved models are not bought directly with credits. Rather, the Blueprints for these weapons must be bought with credits from the Market and each weapon must then be built in the Foundry. By the time a beginning player has leveled up all the MK1 weapons that player should also have more than enough resources in their inventory to be able to build each of the subsequent models.

For reference, the MK1 weapons are:

MK1-Bo

MK1-Braton

MK1-Furax

MK1-Furis

MK1-Kunai

MK1-Paris

MK1-Strun

The Lato and Skana are also beginning player weapons but their names do not contain the "MK1-" prefix and do not have direct subsequent model upgrades with the same or a similar name.
