    Glass or Mediocre? Which Alpha Bridge set up do you run?

    Curious, since there is only one way to build a strong pvp set up (Famas AB) and there is 2 options to do it - how do you do it?

    1. GLASS
    - 6000 Firearms, rest to stamina

    2. MEDIOCRE
    - 4790 Firearms - rest to stamina

    I myself changed my set up to glass and it seems to perform much better, due to toughness not really meaning s*it on AB fights.

    I didn't run the Meta AB(famas/M4/LVOA-C) build

    I ran a sniper (M700 Carbon/SRS sniper AB build)

    Brutal/Vicious/Prepared/Deadly/Toxic and Destructive it could OHK or 2HK just about everything

    not sure what the firearms were on it.

    I have 5950 FA 4 piece AB build. 396k dps. Its not really a glass canon build with nearly 54% mit, 403k toughness and 22% EDR. Its still pretty tough. Using a lightweight m4 and famas.

    Exactly, I've noticed too that having 500K toughness or more does not do **** on this build, better just go for the firearms for extra damage. There just is no difference in 400K or 500K toughness.

    I agree. I love the all out high damage. As long as you have EDR and decent armour mitigation surviving is pretty easy.

    At the end of the day it really doesnt matter. With Barrets Chest, booster shot, and damage mitigation talents buffs trump everything.

    Just move on to an original build instead of heading down the cookie cutter route.

    But I guess those will never exist because Youtuber words are law.

    Go glass.
    I run a 395k dps 450k tough 53% AM. I flip flopped and still may drop some dps, not sure.
    That's with 5300 firearms and 6500 stam.
    LVOA-C crits at just below 80k, works fine
