I'm mostly content with few weapons, obviously my account's state says otherwise. If you love camping with a sniper, M107 is by far one of the better options. TPG-1 Pro has been mostly a good camping rifle, but makes a good on the run style rifle. I'm not by any means saying the M107 can't be used while rushing, but it's so inefficient with it's weight to use as such.

If you're going with a vest, you planning on mostly being defensive or offensive? Since a tanker will make you pretty sluggish, recon is a good idea if you're more a rushing style player. You can dodge things as you play, but overall it's depending on your playing. Cyclops will of course negate some of the tanker's weight along with patriot, but really that varies on your playing too.

I have 2 perm mercs and rarely use em, but it's mostly due to the vests (Heavy and Commando) making it not appealing. If you want a pack just might want to find some things to drop, and go for the terrain pack 3 slot. It's slightly more but you reduce your weight impact further, making it a beneficial pack to use.

UMP45 is pretty much a solid SMG, P90TR is about an average SMG that mostly fast players use. Due to it's lack of spread / recoil, but the UMP does a good job there also. It's just the slower firing rate makes it seem worse, really it's all again on your style of playing. UMP45 is more balanced, if you go across all it's stats.

Tracker vs Pedro? Really that's also a personal pref, never really like long ranged melee. Then again I dislike melee only / QR so that's my nixing to said spending.

M67HE-NL? Nice useful grenade if you find a need for it, but really that's also a debatable thing since it's real-life money. You can always just buy a regular HE, it's not as great but you save money there.

Hazard cases? I'm skeptical on them, because really a lot of times I see the low end of amounts. Seeming like a waste to me, since $1USD = 1k GP? That's just seeming too costly, until they nix some of the lower amounts.

EXP Passes? Really.. that's a tough one. They do a good job on bringing in EXP faster, but if you do badly the gain isn't much. Say you got about.. 35 or so EXP as you came in late, where's the gain? It's all based around if you feel it's worth the use in said match. If you'll jump in the matches early enough, or really a lot of good matches you'll rank faster.

E-Mod? Kinda up for debate. Since people see an E-Mod room and either won't stick around, or just try messing with you constantly. I've got a perm E-Mod and really.. people are complete jerks so often I never hold mod. I can see your point on hackers and such, but unless you got dependable people it's going to be wasted. Also that's per month as you said, so would you want to spend it and be off CA for a week?

I'd at least nix the Hazards (unless you're so desperate on GP), M107 (or TPG-1 Pro), M67HE-NL Frag and one of the vests. Unless you need it for dire situations badly enough, it's good to try saving what you can for something else.

I've wanted to put like $30-40 per month aside for Black Friday coming up, so really you might want to also consider that. Never know what might be put on sale again, so better be wary on your spending habits. >>
