Sniper - Adam 10X, mystery box
Assault - Fenris 10X, mystery box
Heavy Gun - Mercury 9.5X, for crafting in future
Tesla - Nadar 9.5X, for crafting in future
These are all for crafting, wonder which ones will be first place prizes, won by whole or piece?
As usual, no Base upgrades will keep up with weapons like these.

Also, once you play the game for a while you recognize that "Primary Weapons" are just toys. It is all about Power Guns and Tesla.
Once you acknowledge the basics of game dynamics, it becomes obvious:
First priority: Heavy guns
Second priority: Tesla
Third priority: Base Economy
Forth Priority: Player Health
Everything else is a luxury
You are right, I had this dynamic long time ago. I am at level 70 with heavy weapon and telsa too. But I still like the Glu to balance the Defense vs Offense, so players need focus on both. I do need good defense to keep my diamonds safe without get stolen. Offcourse, unless real players with comparible weapons are exception.
Maybe up to a point.
In the beginning it will work. It doesn't take much diamonds and/or gold to upgrade either your base and/or your weapons.
However, I have read that Tier 8 Base takes about 3.5M diamonds to upgrade. Sooner or later you have to upgrade your base so your vault can hold as much diamonds just to upgrade. I don't know if you can stay online that long so no one can attack you. And even though you're online, I have read and experienced that you can be attacked even while you're online. At one point I lost about 40K diamonds while online.
To move from Tier 8 Base to Tier 9, I believe you need about 256K diamonds. That's a lot of diamonds. From playing PvP matches, I don't think you can accumulate that much in one day. With only an energy for every 20 minutes, you can have up to 72 energy in a day. That would average about 3.555K diamonds per match. We know that that doesn't happen. I guess that's when gold goes into play.
Again, you have to stay online to prevent from being attacked. I don't about you but some of us I'm sure have to work for a living. At one point or another we have to go offline and turn our devices off. It doesn't take long for your base to be attacked.
Now, Tier 9 Base is another thing. I haven't heard about it, but I'm sure it will take a lot of diamonds, maybe twice as much as Tier 8 Base, to upgrade..
so after the 256 buy in its 288 320 352, 384, x4 which is about 5.7 mill in diamonds. or 2000 plus in gold which is about 80 bucks in real money.
For me, collecting 256K in diamonds takes 1.5 to 2plus hours, and I'm having serious doubts if I'm willing to sit for 2to 4 hours just to ugrade my base. Warm weather is almost here, time to go outside.
I think it took me almost a month to max my tier 8 base,, so playing at the same pace, I'd probably
just finish b4 the next update. I think Glu will loose a lot if players over the next while, when players realize how much time and money there spending, and how much more they are gonna have to spend.
B4 the events leisure players we probably Ok with winning health packs rockets and such, just for playing, PVP but with the event weapon carott, some are playing,longer and and at least 2 more days to win an event weapon, where as before, most might play leisurely or not at all till next PVP.
I would agree with you on the short range battles - a fully maxed out tier 8 base with a drone against my fully upgraded Atlas heavy gun usually means I have to use a med kit and maybe a grenade not matter how much ducking and diving I do - you still have to run between spots to avoid missiles and you will get picked off!
Thankfully the mini pvp tournaments give you the chance to win 50 gold which is useful to top up your med kits and now Glu have fixed the experience levels you do now seem to get 5 gold everytime you level up (which didn't happen between level 50 and 70 which mean 100 lost gold!).
The new tier 9 bases which when maxed out are at circa 46k defense will mean a lot more 'supplies' being used.
If you go through a full round of contracts, you will be offered the better Slingshot Elite and Granite Elite for 240 gold (2 separate offers)! Very tempting and shows the devaluation of all past hard work - ouch!
Also shows that assault and sniper weapons are becoming worthless compared to their counterparts, heavy and tesla. The only real reason anymore to own these seldom used weapons is to dump low amounts of diamonds into before shutting down for the night since I can't save up enough for the enormous amounts required for base 8 upgrades. Better to spend them than be stolen, right?
Rastafari, can you let us in with your secret? How do you collect 256K diamonds in 1.5 to 2.0 hours?
As for your 256K diamonds in 2 hours...I call BS, sorry, but you would have just bought the upgrade with gold instead of spending the 200-300 gold on energy to get 256K diamonds in 2 hours. You must have pressed a few wrong buttons on your calulator and got excited to post it... 256K diamonds in 6-8 matches for free would be 32,000-42,000 diamonds per match, when you know the cap was 12,600 per match no matter how many diamonds they had. It would have taken a minimum of 21 matches to get 256K. 21 matches minus 6 for free means you spent gold for 15 additional energy bars = 100 gold. So why didn't you just buy the upgrade with gold?
In my case I decided not to keep wasting my time nor my money gaining diamonds to do the upgrades...yeah, i found a way to have some extra gold...cheating ? I don’t have that big amount of gold to be where those in the top are, just to keep with the game…even If I had it, not sure I would stay that many hours just to win a gun….but, Glu is the cheating one...if they came with a new level where I need 10 million diamonds for my base should I continue just for fun? That’s not funny actually. I have spent my money, so no remorse at all....our weapons become outdated very soon, tesla and heavy were i.e in the 10-15k max just few days ago, now you can easily see some at 60-70 K max, you will need ages just to keep your guns updated just to find next day they are useless, so efforts are thrown away.......as stated earlier, yes, you just need a heavy and Tesla, thats all....the rest is luxury....
I can understand your skepticism, however, some of us understood early in game about easy energy.
