ares rifle is selling for like 5 mil or more now. over the summer iy was being sold for around 1 mil.

Pure insanity at the auction; whoever bid either had so much money they didn't care.. or they didn't check the gun stats before buying it.

Ares rifle is probably the only anomaly I can think of, it is very rare (only 5-6 of them) and is also the best single gun on Era.

Correction: I said this gun is worth 1.2M, just like any other "God-tier" gun. You got the 300k from me saying I see it as Sg552 (900k) + grenade launcher feature (worth ~300k).

Ask anyone on the server if Tk was ever the best when he had the most money for a while and almost everyone will tell you he wasn't. Being able to get a gun that can compete with high guns is totally doable. I've seen so many guys (myself included) get absolutely trashed by someone using a sten/souizen/hk416 other <500k gun vs my honey badger (over 1 mil). It's really down to player skill now, since literally anyone can make enough for a sten/souizen in a week if they tried. Hell, the hk416 is only like 200k I could make that in one day if all I did was mine for 3 hours or trash pick/pk

This is really the goal of my current systems. God-tier guns do one of two things: have none of the minor disadvantages of tier 3 guns (usually clip/reload related), or have a "special feature." See MVP AK47 for an example of the first type (bullets for days but basically a navy) and ARG (high ROF) for an example of the second type.
Either way, if you're marginally good, you can do just fine with a Navy or even Sten.

cf. above... that gun is not worth $5M and I will never buff it up to that price just because someone chose of his own volition to pay that.
Ares is still comparable to other "God-Tier" 1.2M guns, in my opinion.


EDIT: Chooch beat me to the punch, haha

my bad. yeah, I only got the last part of your convo with seth. but yeah, no way is that gun worth 5 mil. it went for 5 mil tho because like mentioned earlier, there are a few people on era that are so rich that they don't care lol.

and yeah I have np with rare guns being that much. that gun that went for 5 mil is going to be in event shop next month too.
