There are three blasters worth using:

• A280 - best choice; outclassed only at extreme long-range; use Improved Cooling and Improved Range
  
• CR-2 - extremely fast fire rate, can use at extremely close-range, but lacks versatility, so keep it to tight maps; use Reduced Recoil and Ion Shot
  
• EL-16HFE - superior at range but not worth it at mid/close-range; use Reduced Recoil and Improved Range

Star Cards:
1. Toughen Up
2a. Bounty Hunter - if interested in hero play, otherwise swap for Bodyguard or Assault Training
3a. Smart Ion Grenade - on maps with heavy ground vehicle use
2b/3b. Bodyguard - everywhere else if grenades are a problem
2c/3c. Assault Training- everywhere else if grenades aren't a problem

Two blasters only:

• TL-50 - excels at close-range and useful at mid-range; use Improved Cooling and Reduced Spread
  
• T-21 - excels at long-range and useful at mid-range, but unforgiving at close-range; no attachments worth using

Star Cards:

1a. Bounty Hunter - if interested in heroes
1b. Improved Combat Shield - if not interested in heroes
1c. Supercharged Sentry - hero hunting
2a. Ion Turret - vehicle hunting
3a. Ion Torpedo - vehicle hunting
2b. Detonite Charge - infantry hunting
3b. Bodyguard - infantry hunting

Two options:

• SE-44C - use with Improved Cooling and Rapid Fire; use 99-100% of the time
  
• S-5 - if you really want to try long-range but don't want to switch classes; use Improved Recoil
