Level requirement for buying weapons?

Wed Jul 16, 2003 8:31 pm by Tempest-nmx-

I've been playing the single player campaign and am unable to purchase level 6 weapons from the xenos. (flying a drake which has lvl6 hardpoints)

I've noticed that other factions who don't like me very much will not sell higher level weapons, but the xenos like me, (all but 1 green square)

My character is level 13, anyone know what i need to do to buy one of those suckers?

If your freindly with the faction then make sure you have a hardpoint free. The dealer won't sell the weapon to you if you have no place to mount it. Other than that I'd have to guess maybe your player level isn't high enough.

Bounty Hunters, Kill them All and let the Junkers sort them out!

Let's see. Green, LVL13, Hardpoints OK.
Alls I can think is THAT base don't have it. Try Nome, not Ouray

Hrm, well it shows it on the list, its just grayed out, which makes me think that base has it... Ive been at 2 different xeno bases, I think the 2nd was Nome. Well ill do a bit more trading and levell up to 14 and maybe theyll change their minds.

You must be pilot level 16 to buy any class-6 equipment. In the single player campaign, you reach that before mission 9.

... at which time traveling is so much more interesting than, say, when you are level 14.

I noticed that first when I wanted to purchase GMG guns ahead of time, for use on the Anubis later. Sigma-13 is like a powder keg at that time, any passing Republican (or whatever) ship will turn the GMG Hawks/Falcons hostile. And a swarm of them can be a problem even for a Drake because they are using ... GMG guns, naturally.
