Just discovered Soldat...

[Rai-Dei]

If you want to focus on a single weapon right from the start, these weapons would be good since they require much practise:

1. Desert Eagles
2. Steyr Aug
3. Ruger-77

The aug is probably the easiest gun to use.... Other then that good job.

You'll regret this moment.
Then you'll regret that you regretted.
And before you realize, you'll be a Soldat addict.

Should've been here to yell "Don't download it!"
It's like getting married...
You'll see.

this is so like same with me >.<
anyway back to subject !
play nice and have fun and dont TK!!!

[adam01526]

use any weapon you want!
just bear in mind that some weapons take more time to master than others!
for example barret, m79, minigun ( without being called a noob or sprayer) and the ruger!
Learning to throws knnives properly also takes time!

[SDFilm]

Welcome to the game. You made a good find

and...

stay away from the minigun

And don't start with m79

Also, you may not see many people using the Minimi, or Deagles for that matter. As you're only alloyed to use them once you have became a signed-up member of the Holy Church of Machineguns, Akimbo Pistols and Other Awesome Weapons.

Though the Minigun has been ex-communicated and kicked-out of the Church many years ago, due to it sucking and having 'mini-surfing' as its only useful tait.

[NotBingBong]

All weapons rock that church is bollocks!

[O.R.I.O.N.]

Needs more coherency.

I have to say that the Barrett is a pretty damn hard weapon to pick up from the start. The Ruger I'd say is even harder, since you really have to learn to fire the thing while moving to survive against an auto-user, which is all the harder in trenchwar and most realistic modes. Generally, autos should be the learning weapon. I'd suggest the AK; myself, I picked it up faster than the others, and it's a good all-around gun.

stay away from the minigun

Yeah, stay away from it for now, until it's fixed. It's very weak and unrealistic right now, making it a pointless weapon. It should be usable again in version 1.5.0... hopefully.

[NotBingBong]

strongest weapon in 1.5 atm is flamethrower then the m79

[X-Rayz]

Now you'll never leave! Muahahahaha!

[tehsnipah]

strongest weapon in 1.5 atm is flamethrower then the m79

WTF flamethrower is JUST a little better than minigun, nothing much difference
also as STM said, i recommend easy using rugger/aug/ or for me, Ak.
