About to finish the toturial and was wondering what is the best possible gear I can buy with my money I got from the previous missions

Considering you probably don't have a really high budget, start off with leather armor and a Macana. Then, once you can, save up for Combat Armor, an Armalite, and either the same Macana or a Diamond Bladed Knife. Most factions will provide basic armor and weapons to its members, too.

Id suggest you join a decent faction. They should loan you free armour, weapons, temps, medicals, and more

Most decent facs have armory full with combat gear to loan out. To find a good faction showing commitment to the game is the best way. A lot of facs like mine recruit greenleafs if they show good activity. I cant exaggerate how much a strong established faction can help you grow.

Early on you want something accurate that also packs a punch. With a few exceptions such as the pillow, many weapons are viable.

 

If you can afford it full combat suit an Armalite, a diamond bladed knife and a BT MP9 are great. This is pretty basic stuff most factions will allow you to loan. So I'd just buy a macana or diamond-bladed knife and roll with it. 

 

When you are new, your targets will also be new. So you won't be competing against top tier weapons and armor. I'm still running my good old Dual 69G berettas and no armor. And I'm fine (most of the time).

There'll be some places that will accept you. My advice is don't aim too high in respect to start off with. However, you should be able to find a faction with at least 1m respect. I wouldn't bother joining any faction below that, as they will likely just be cache farms and it'll be a miserable experience.

Just get macana and combat armor from faction. If the faction you join doesn't have those, find a new one. No point using guns with no mods and special ammo. Same stats as dbk or macana, but you waste 1 turn reloading it every now and then. 

MrSleepy [3353934]

Drama aside, don't join low respect faction, it hinders your growth. Look for like 2m+ respect, the more the better because you get more perks.
