This is a handy equivalence lookup, taken from Gamepress' tweets. https://twitter.com/GFLGamePress/status/1411060402012798978

Pricing assumes that only tokens, oath certs, and extra energy have calculable value.

Chip calculations

Mk 153 isn't out yet, but we know a little bit about what she'll need for tiles.

• Blue
• Stats
  • Dmg: 107
  • Prc: 224
  • Acc: 233
  • Rld: 107

The calculation for value of a tile goes: ceil(perSquareStat * numSquares) * 2.5x enhancement

• Dmg: 4.4
• Prc: 12.7
• Acc: 7.1
• Rld: 5.7

Based on these, we'll need:

• 42-43 dmg from tiles == 9/10 squares
• 89-90 prc from tiles == 7/8 squares
• 93-94 acc from tiles == 13 squares
• 42-43 rld from tiles == 7/8 squares

We probably won't have 39 squares on the grid to max out everything, so we'll have to pick something to compromise on one of the stats.

Censored and uncensored CG

It's well known that some art is censored to appease the CCP or whoever would complain. This site has side-by-side comparisons for each unit, but it's last updated sometime in 2019: https://mintchocachip.github.io/

iopwiki has all the art anyway, but this site is more convenient.

Monthly black market item purchases

These numbers are for buying out the entire shop, except for enhancement capsules because they're pricey and you should already have a glut of them - you only get 120 pills at a cost of 3600 bacons!

While you mostly need to earn bacon through expeditions, other item types can eat up your resources so you wanna go for them as well:

• Furniture costs legos
• Special equipment costs acorns
• Effects can be paid in collapse fluid, or other currencies

Matsuda

https://gfl.matsuda.tips/post/buffs

• RFs like RoF and power, and some crit. (depending on type)
• MGs like Dmg and Acc and Crit.
• ARs like Crit and Dmg, with RoF on the side.
• SGs like armor.
• SMGs generally like Eva and maybe Acc.
• Anything with grenades/molotovs likes Dmg

RFs can get enough crit from scopes and dont particularly need a critbuff from formation, while ARs and MGs will want it if it can be arranged.

Reddit

• HGs and SMGs want Suppressor/PEQ, Hollow Point, and Exo.
• ARs want HV Rounds, Exo, and VFL scopes. EOT if buffed by crit tiles.
• SGs want Armor, EOT. Buckshot for Burst Impact, Slug for anything else.
• MGs want AP Rounds, EOT, and Ammo Belt. Maybe ITI if using damage tiles instead of accuracy tiles.
• ITI is mostly used on T-Dolls with low base acc that doesn't receive tile buffs, eg. a DPS SMG. ITI makes her dmg more consistent
• PK can benefit from having ITI instead of EOT, simply cause her base acc is lower than someone like PKP and MG5

HG:  Suppressor/PEQ, Hollow Point mag, Exo for evasion
SMG: Suppressor/PEQ, Hollow Point mag, Exo for evasion
AR:  HV mag, Exo, Crit scope (VFL/PSO) (or EOT if you're already crit tile buffed)
MG:  AP mag, EOT scope (+acc +dmg -rof) or ITI scope (++acc -rof) if you're damage tile buffed or have low accuracy, Ammo belt
SG:  Armour plate, EOT scope, Buckshot for burst impact or slug for everything else

• Use Red-Dot (high ACC boost) sights (ITI/COG/AMP) for low-accuracy guns, it makes her damage more consistent
• Use Optical (Crit boosting) sights (VFL/PSO/LRA) for ARs
• Use Holographic (low ACC+DMG boost) sights (EOT) for ARs and MGs, unless you have terrible accuracy
