what comes first?

[tippy385]

i just bought an ion like 4 days ago and i have no money for anything so i have to save up for a while but what should i get first . should i buy a hopper first? tank or a black heart board?

Hopper. You can rent tanks and Overkill and Mersey (I am pretty sure mersey). Then tank, then Blackheart.

I agree

NOT BLACK HEART!!!!!!! Virtue... or if you can, APE

[keaster]

yes, virtue, it treated me well... very well... i tried a blackheart and it broke my heart because i thought it would at least be sort of the same as the virtue but it was no comparason... after you get the board get the virtue laser eyes aswell, it allows you to shoot any color paint you want with no hassle.

Why get a board as your first upgrade. It should be one of your last because you want to make your ION perform better. So I would get like a Unimount, then a barrel, then a QEV, and a new reg, Then a bolt, then if you want a board. I think the stock board is fine.

why not get a board first ... alot more modes + faster shooting .

[keaster]

faster shooting also requires a qev or new bolt... i reccoment a new bolt over qev though, they do the same thing so having both will just make on useless and with a new bolt you (smart parts fire bolt) you get wayyy less kick and faster shooting.

15bpd is 15bps. i like my blackheart board no point spending the extra money if you dont have to.

True but if u can aford it go for it !!! sean buy a hopper first i guess ... I need a hopper myself i out shoot my triumph .

Well if your going to be shooting that fast, a stock ION will not do it. It needs a QEV or new bolt first so it can cycle that fast, and if your going to be shooting that fast, you want to buy a new barrel because your paint it just going to go everywere. Thats why :wink:
