Discussing Perks: Reinforced Barrel & Grappling Hook

The purpose of this thread is to show how much both cost per upgrade and help others decide if they can afford/ wanna buy it.

Reinforced Barrel - 60 TC
Grappling Hook- 80 TC

For those that have bought any of these two, I've heard the initial cost is what I posted above, but you can upgrade each of these 3 times. One Friend told me you would spend 150 TC on Barrel to max it out.

Is this true?

Any one who owns ether one of these two perks or knows what I'm talking about/kind enough to post how much total TC is put into each one of these perks and how much per level, it would be very appreciative.

 

The Reinforced Barrel is not only cheaper, it also seems much more active than Grappling Hook. I am not talking about multi-shot weapons, I am talking about single-shot weapons.

 

I dont know about the grappler but the barrel cost 200 coins fully upgraded and another 40 if u wanna bling and get a gold plated one.

 

Much appreciated Cleo.

 

That is ridiculous pricing. And the Grappling Hook is so rare to see it work that I honestly think it's there almost like the "Tip Developer" button on the old shop GUI.

60 TCs for the Reinforced Barrel? Okay, okay, fair enough; but not THAT much for the upgrades, I mean come on now. Make it like 10 for Gold Plated, 20 for Power Packed, and 30 for Lucky Strike.

Then again people have already bought it so I'm sure these prices will never change. Sadly.

 

Hell no.
Think of it as the F2Ps side, would we want an extremely unfair match with 90% of a critical chance? Getting dominated so easily with like 3000 points difference yet so cheap, it only costs 120 to max it out. I honestly think this should cost 100 coins to purchase, then 40, 80, 50 thingies as an additional upgrade.

As the grappling hook, I kind of agree.

 

I never said a thing about changing the weapon's chances of dealing a critical hit. What I meant was that for those that don't have a lot of money, like the F2P players, these prices are outrageous. Yes I understand they are perks and enhance one's overall playing ability, but the fact that the upgrades for the perk itself can cost MORE than it does to buy the perk, with one matching its price and another actually being even higher, is ridiculous.

 

If anyone owns the grappling hook, could you be so kind to do what Cleo did and post a pick with each of the Upgrades visible. If possible have a screenshot of each ones description too.

 

Is it wrong when there was a Tip Developer, I tipped the developer xD

 

Lol well yeah it was wrong, actually. It isn't like you were giving the Tank Coins back to kChamp or anything. Tank Coins have no value, but what you buy them with does, so you were literally wasting Tank Coins by clicking the Tip Developer button lol

 

Rumor had it when that was still around the Tank Coin frequency rate was increased. (complete bs, but I did get over 40 coins over the course of the following week when I did it ...)

Anywho I think the prices are fair, I mean they can be compared to a weapon pack in some cases (not grappling hook so much though). I mean a FireStorm with the 1.5x and if lucky enough a x2 multiplier is OP, and deserves to be priced accordingly.

 

I laugh at the fact so many have bought the grappling hook on here and can't simply take a screenshot of this. xD Anywho I'll just ask around to see how much.

 

I think @Deception had a guide discussing Perks.

 

My point was: You discussed how much each Perk cost and its upgrades. Maybe you can shed some light on how these perks operate and their cost?

Edit: My apologies, the costs are not included, only the buffs.

 

Found it.

 

kChamp would laugh at this and probably thinks "ohh if only". But hey people would still buy it. Made my day man.

 

I admit, it is kinda funny. Why would people purchase that for "red strings"? It is not aesthetically pleasing to have a red string dangling over your tank.

 

I would love some red string. I can find better uses for it outside of this game.

 

@KingKyd How did you edit the screenshot and use the same font? A mixture of Microsoft Word and Paint?

 

Unfortunately, I don't know the exact same fonts used here. I used Swiss921 BT for the title text, Shruti for the description text, and Space Bo BT for the numbers.

As for the program I used, I use Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended.

 

It would have looked legit, were it not for the ridiculously high price of the perks and the deceitful comments.

 

It looks perfect to me.
You forget - this is kChamp we are talking about.

 

Lol well I just wanted to make a parody, but thank you for the compliment sir (saying it looks legit is the best compliment us Photoshop users could receive. )

 

@Cleopatra

would you (or anyone) take a second and break down exactly how the secondary levels work? Is it just as simple as each additional upgrade is an extra 5% chance of 1.5x damage?
