Players in the MMO game Entropia Universe hunt creatures for the loot they drop. This loot can include such things as ammunition, healing devices, weapons, armor and other items. The loot can be either common or very rare drops. Your loot can be sold to the trade terminal for its base price, sold to other players in private trade, or sold on the auction for a small fee. By selling this loot you can acquire more PED for your adventures.

Weapon Basics

All weapons with the exception of melee, require ammunition to fire which can be purchased from various trade terminals in the game world. There are various types of ammunition and your weapon will tell you which ammo is required to power it. If you make a mistake and purchase the wrong ammunition, you can trade it back to the terminal for full price and buy what you require. Your weapons can be fully repairable or limited use which will cease functioning once the condition has worn down. You can use pistols, carbines, rifles, and projectile weapons assuming you have the skills needed for the weapon. As you hunt you will acquire new skills and can specialize in a weapon class such as a carbine. It is a good idea to specialize in a weapon first and then use the other weapons after you get better. If you use a carbine for example, you will get carbine specific skills.

Your First Weapon

The cheapest and most economical weapon for a beginner to use is the Sollomate Opalo Carbine. While this carbine is fairly weak, it can be used against the lower level creatures and most importantly, will give you the experience you need to handle the other weapons. This carbine uses medium weapon cells which can be purchased at the trade terminal. You should spend all your PED on ammunition and maybe a healing device which you can also find at the terminal. The longer you hunt, the greater the chance you will receive loot that is valuable to you. Don't be tempted to buy to meele weapon, they decay too quickly and you will lose PED on them. You may want to purchase one as a panic weapon, or finishing weapon but it is not necessary.
