== Chip calculations ==
[[https://iopwiki.com/wiki/Mk_153| 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.
= Combat Sim EXP =

|| 0 || 48,000 || 192,000 ||

= 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!
||<rowbgcolor="lightblue"> Source || Quantity needed to buy everything in shop except pills ||
|| City || 2500 ||
|| Snow || 8700 ||
|| Forest || 3000 ||
|| Wasteland || 5000 ||
||<rowbgcolor="lightblue"> Item gained || Quantity gained || Cost ||
|| Batteries || 1000 || 2500 Lego ||
|| Combat reports || 3600 || 5400 Bacon ||
|| Special combat reports || 600 || 900 Bacon ||
|| Universal parts || 1200 || 3000 Acorn ||
|| Cores || 100 || 5000 Collapse fluid ||
|| Fire control component || 2 || 2400 Bacon ||
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
= Choosing weapon mods =
== From Chinese players ==
{{attachment:GFL_recommended_equipment_as_of_2021.jpg|Recommendations by weapon type}}
== 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
