there's only 4 AR perms you can still get: M416 CQB, G36E Valkyrie, L85A1 MOD, F2000 Tactical - there's not much choice if you want a perm.

forget the NX Utility backpack - just use GP advanced backpack (+2) or clan backpack (+3) or the GP Utility backpack (but that's 2LT) and forget Assault Vest - just use default or Heavy Vest. Light Vest and Recon Vests are more favourable. at most the armor will only save you 1 shot.

there's normal clans out there for people like us without high KDRs.

don't really need MG36 unless you're actually gonna use it eg. Fireteam, OMA. TPG-1 you'll probably use. (lots of people do)

Just get 3 perms max first and hoard GP, then buy gear every now and then. srsly, don't spend all your GP straight away.
