Underrated Equipment in NWS

As a lot of people know, NWS (No Win Scenario) is the most profitable form of fms in the game, and is widely known as the hardest space queue that currently exists. While there is obviously no statistics available, I would say that most public queues of NWS fail unless there is a premade that team queued for it to help carry pugs.

I have recently found some relatively inexpensive things in NWS that I had never thought about using before, two traits: Precise and Psychological Warfare, to be extremely effective in this queue and make your matches easier.

Precise is a trait that increases your accuracy while targeting small targets. Bioneural Warheads are designated as small targets, and will cause detrimental damage to the CT if they are not shot down. I noticed that before equipping precise that I was seeing a lot of missed shots while targeting these warheads, afterwards, the warheads on my flank are being shot down with ease.

Psychological Warfare is a trait that increases crowd control abilities such as your tractor beam repulsors and gravity wells. In case you didn't know, the popular strategy for nws is both a combination of spike dps and crowd control, so having your crowd control in a "supper bosted" state makes it even better. By increasing your controls you are increasing the amount of damage that the enemy will take from itself in the form of wcbs, and therefore making it so you have to spend less money on expensive weapons to kill things quicker.

As the bonus marks weekend is close to its end, I invite anyone who is interested in learning the ropes of nws to join the chat channel "Wesleys_Protege". Its a good place to start your nws journey and people there would be glad to help your further with your builds. As you learn and progress, you can continue to progress and get in better nws channels and have even better matches. Wesleys_Protege is open for anyone to join and I welcome anyone who is interested to join it.
pvp = small package
