Depending on the Team really dictates your game play with the power. if your playing with a strong bunch and your friends that are good, we can wait till Lvl 20 B 4 we open turn the power on.
If its a bunch of noobs that keep dying, staying alive is critical and having jugs really helps especially when you have open doors to do laps.
Secondly if we have enough for jugs or bowie, we split, 2 get jugs, 2 get bowies......we use the point accumulation to our advantage while the team with the bowies do massive damage and gain immense points, the Jug guys stay alive to make sure to revive. From there it standard play. Loops and swoops
I dont recall packing any guns unless we really need to.....Ive had an MP40 till round 39 and a regular Thunder Gun because we use it only if we have to and rack points off the MP40......
Power is critical for jugs, quick revive and traps.......you can do loops all day with those 3..........
