Special thanks to Lyyti for allowing me to use her color scheme (found on the google sheet) and for the advice and suggestions given by the mentors.

These loadouts are intended to guide new players on what to cert out for vehicles and what are common meta loadouts.

If you're wondering what to cert first, I recommend in general to cert the cheap stuff first and save the weapons for later.

If you have any further questions, you can ping me on Discord @opshax#6969 or visit the PS2 Community Discord's mentor channel.[discord.me]

¹: VS can also use the Proton II PPA-H if you are in a chokepoint situation for suppression, similar to a Lasher.
²: Recommended over a Skyguard because of the price (350 v 150) and ability to follow air better.
