Hey there! So, you're looking to beef up your defenses in Pixel Gun 3D: PC Edition, huh? While this guide doesn't have a specific section on 'Armor Upgrades,' it does cover a lot of the foundational stuff that'll help you get there. Think of it as getting your gear ready before you even think about upgrading your armor! First off, let's talk about the lifeblood of many upgrades: Gems. You'll get some free ones just by leveling up, but don't count on that for too long since there's a limit. Doing surveys or offers *can* get you gems, but be super careful – you might have to share personal info and not even get the gems. I'd only do that if you're really desperate. The most reliable ways are usually buying them with real money for a head start, snagging them from Tournaments, Lucky Chests, Events, watching ads (you can get around 20-40 gems daily), using the Driller (1 gem every 24 hours), the Battle Pass, Campaign Secrets, or sometimes, if you're lucky, picking them up after an opponent drops one in a match. Winning chests in Duel is also an option, but only if you're confident you can win, otherwise, you'll lose your gems! Now, about spending those precious gems: don't waste them on Lucky Chests (unless it's for a Battle Pass challenge) or in Sandbox. Seriously, there's not much useful stuff to buy there. The best advice is to save them up for upgrading your weapons. It's a good idea to upgrade your weapon setup every 10 levels or whenever you get a really solid new weapon. When you're just starting out, especially if you're F2P (Free-to-Play) and saving gems for better gear or just trying to get your economy going, picking up the right coin weapons is key. Here are some solid choices to get you started: * Primary: Impulse Rifle, Minigun Shotgun, Automatic Peacemaker, Stakegun, Photon Shotgun, Icicle Minigun. * Backup: Dead Star, Minigun Pistol, Desert Eagle, Hitman Pistol, Mercenary. * Melee: Combat Yo-Yo, Elder Force Saber, Storm Hammer, Fire Demon, Katana. * Special: Laser Bouncer, Trapper, Electromagnetic Cannon, Poison Darts, Pet Dragon. * Sniper: One Shot, Charge Rifle, Prototype, Shaman's Bow, Future Sniper Rifle. * Heavy: Adamant Bomber, Deadly Beat, Piranha, Armageddon. Also, don't forget about Event/Clan/Part Weapons. Some of these can be tough to get, requiring a lot of grinding, but they often have way better stats than regular weapons. Clan weapons are usually a bit easier to snag and can be just as powerful, if not more so, than some Event weapons. Keep in mind, this guide is pretty old, so for the most up-to-date info on what's really good right now, it's best to check out community discussions or look for newer guides on YouTube. Happy gaming!
