Just to make a note on this; the "Shield Bubble" is very effective at certain fights, especially larger fights at facilities like Bio Labs and Tech Plants or wherever there may be a choke point. It can get you a load of XP. Getting the grenade bandoleer along with the revive grenades can also be very useful for even more XP

Although my personal preference is to keep the Regen-Device, Nanoweave, and get 2 bricks of C4. I feel this is more enjoyable and works in more situations. For Squad play, say you have 2 medics, one should have the bubble, and the other should have the Regen device.

Also Sunderer spawn bonus is 5 XP not 2

its nice to see people still make tutorials for this game

[leezhenghan]

I feel your video quality is increasing and really love the effort you place into making this video!
Yes would like to see specific classes tips and tricks, perhaps after that, you can even move on to the weapons!! :)
Looking forward to greater content!

I think it's important to note all the other LMG'S (not the starter) got rebalanced to make unlocking them more worthwhile instead of them being unlocked just to unlock the faction specific reward LMG like the godsaw and Beetlejuice.

I would say that engineer is the best as it is super easy to make passive xp by repairing and ammo stocking

If you find yourself in a fight near a friendly sunderer, choose the medic class and cert into the triage skill, then jump into the sunderer's turrets. You will slowly heal nearby teammates, which could allow them to tank that one extra bullet that can decide the firefight, plus you will be safer in the sunderer and have increased killing potential. I recommend using the kobalt with extended mags, as it is surprisingly effective on everything except armored units.

I love how you put out a well made informative video, and people in the comment section are proving how volatile and hostile PS2's playerbase is when it comes to playstyle suggestions.

Jeeze.

*One other pro tipp* from an PS1 vet and PS2 alpha squad member still playing this game, because the love is still there too.
Try to cert what you play the most and love to play the most, that way you get more certs from something you already like.
You may use 1000 cert for something you think is important to have, but then you don't realy use it...better ask some more expirenced players if you realy need these. Join an outfit to get diffrent point of views on some weapons you maybe want to get with certs.
*So trust me, your certs will skyrocket if you just play the way you love it.*

Lets not talk about the shield that's still bugged in the tutorial.. lol and if you're on NC it's ok the shoot friendlies

The game really needs to drill into new players' heads that the support classes are a great way to earn XP and figure out how fights work in PS2. Hanging back just off the front line and assisting allies gives a better view than running in headlong and getting gunned down without understanding what happened.

Also, a tip for newbie Engineers: Your repair tool has a "heat" system that builds up whenever you're using it (whether or not it's actually repairing anything). If the heat bar fills up, the tool will lock until it cools off completely, and there's a small delay before it begins cooling. If you stop using it just before the heat bar fills, then it'll begin cooling almost instantly, and you can use it again at any time.

Great video! Well edited and a great overview for new players.

[majstorfantac]

Nice video, i think it can be helpful for new players.
A suggestion for next one: guide how to read map and choose a good fight?

[Chiaros]

Nice video, thanks for the tips! :)

Just a little note: The sunderer spawn bonus is 5xp per spawn, not 2.

[tannerwilson]

ty for the help im brand new and this guide shouild hopefully fix my low cert count

[tripaloski_]

I use the engineer because the deployable turrets make you almost invincible from front attacks unless it's a sniper and i love to fix things.

How to make Certs in Planetside 2:



1. Git gud
2. Profit

[samuelmorales]

To me the Nano Regen field is for a CQC medic. If you have the CQC oriented AR like the GR-22, TAR, etc, nano regen makes sense, however I have to say the Shield Regen Field gets you a lot more certs because of it's reliability. Nano-regen has too much cool down and really for a medic who is on the move constantly and tight with a squad. For a medium to long range support medic, for example if you're NC with Reaper DMR, it's the shield regen field.

fantastic video overall. Just fyi: you did unconsciously use some terms that new players wouldn't understand (i.e. 24-48 fights).
