Use the same baseline to compare
Each example includes light armor, a light helmet and a bandage: $800 in community base-price records. Anti-vehicle examples also include T-21. The planner opens with a $10,000 scenario balance; replace it with your actual cash.
Keep the first infantry kit affordable
Compare a rifle recorded at $0 with T-21 and leave budget for protection and medical gear. Check all three $0 rifles in the weapon database.
| Candidate | Class / caliber | Weapon base price | Example kit total | Try the kit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bushmaster M17S | Assault Rifle 5.56×45 | $0 | $800 | Try Bushmaster M17S kit → |
| T-21 | Assault Rifle 5.56×45 | $600 | $1,400 | Try T-21 kit → |
A $0 record covers the weapon only. Availability, ammunition, unlock fees and performance need in-game checks.

Price difference does not establish damage, recoil or time-to-kill superiority. Test at comparable range with the same ammo and targets, then consider your accuracy.

Launcher ammo prices, same-target damage and carrying compatibility are unverified. Price difference cannot establish shots to destroy a vehicle.
Read the detailed comparison →What should I test before upgrading?
- Confirm access to both weapons and comparable ammunition. Keep range, target and protection consistent.
- Record your results across several attempts: hits, missed shots, reload interruptions and remaining cash.
- Choose the option that performs the squad's task within your budget. Recheck when a patch changes equipment or costs.
