Hunting Argonaut with B.A.M.F ZA3 (L) close to Twin Peaks on Calypso

Argonaut

I wanted to skill in BLP so I used all my B.A.M.F ZA3 (L) killing Argonauts. They weren't on full TT so all 3 guns were broken before the ammo for 100 PED was gone.
And may be for good, the loot was very bad and I got 38% TT return counting all decay.
The B.A.M.F ZA (Zombie Annihilator) series Automatic Shotguns are the latest B.A.M.F product designed for the extreme zombie hunter in mind. This marks the second product launch for B.A.M.F's weapon division since the establishment of their Headquarters in the immortal city.
The ZA is a selective fire weapons designed to provide sustained firepower in close-combat scenarios.

Hunting Argonaut with Riker UL3 (L) close to Twin Peaks on Calypso

Argonaut

Today AxeMurderer returned to his favorite place near Twin Peaks to kill some more Argonauts for the 5000 Argonauts Iron Mission. With ammunitions for 100 PEDs he managed to kill only 113 of those bastards. The look like sons of man and black sheep.
He got 40 PEDs of Iron Stone and one Argonaut Skull, but the overall loot was really bad. And the decay of his gun Riker UL3 (L) is really huge. All that resulted in 54% loss to his PED Card.
"Sometimes you win - sometimes you loose" said AxeMurderer and headed for Twin Peaks.

Hunting Argonaut after 2 globals with Riker UL2 (L) close to Twin Peaks on Calypso

Argonaut

After few days with very bad loot hunting Argonauts around Twin Peaks with 20 no-looters in a row Lootius smiled at me and I got First solo global after 4 months in Entropia Universe - 71 PED Iron Stone from Argonaut Young. On the next day I hunted at the same place and my luck worked again - Second solo global 139 PED Isis CB19 (L) from Argonaut Young at the same place as the first global.
Today loot was almost the same as ammo spent, but the weapon decay was big as half the ammunitions. I need bigger and more economical gun then that Riker UL2 and bigger creature to hunt. Gremlin armor can survive bigger mobs than Argonauts Young to Gatherer. They are too weak mob for that armor and usually do damage of just 1 HP, which is not economical.
Also adding attachments to the gun seems to cost me more. I will stick to clean weapons from now. My Riker UL2 broke at the end of the hunt and I am on my way to the malls for Riker UL3.

Hunting Argonaut with Riker UL2 (L) close to Twin Peaks on Calypso

Argonaut

I needed few Argonaut kills to finish my Iron Challenge mission - kill 500 Argonaut. Instead of going as usual to New Switzerland I found a place near Twin Peaks full with Argonauts, but not so much as in New Switzerland so I don't have to worry that 20 Argonauts will attack me at one time. Maturity level is from Young to Gatherer and with Gremlin Armor Set there is no need for healing.
Other good thing is that here is no Land Tax. Armed with Riker UL2 (L) and Gremlin armor I can hunt Argonauts with no problem.
The loot was almost normal 70-80% and no luck for global this time. The big problem is the big decay of that Riker UL2 (L). Durability is "Good". I need to find better gun and gain some skills to use it.

Hunting with Cryogenic Attack Chip II Feffoid at Fort Fury and Argonaut at New Switzerland on Calypso

Feffoid

Yesterday I bought some parts of the Thunderbird Armor and wanted to go hunt some Tezlapod or other creature that do electrical damage, but I started hunting at Orthos West Mound. With the first dead Cornundacauda I looted Pixie Harness (M) (2.33/2.90 PED). Then there was hunt forming at New Switzerland for Argonauts and I went straight there. We did two globals there and looted two Teleportation Chips I and five Paladin Face Guards. The loot was good there. When we got more hunters with bigger guns the hunting party went to Fort Fury for some Feffoids. If you hunt there watch out for Gokibusagi, they are quite strong. It seems the armor plays huge role in battles. Before it was hard for me to survive against Feffoids and Argonauts even in team and now with my Paladin Harness I can fight them even solo.
