(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); ok so a while back there were a few threads about picking up power ups. in these the people said if you dont pick them up than more will come later on. some people agreed and some didnt. so i decided to figure it out myself. i played one game on solo and picked up every power up that droped and kept track of how many i got and then i played a game again and didnt pick up any and counted how many were dropped then. i went to round 23 on each. on the game where i picked up all of them i got a total of 29 power ups. on the game where i didnt pick up any i got 43.

concluding: i believe not picking up one you dont need will help some. 14 more powerups is quite a few.

extra info: i used the mp40 and ak74u the entire game both times. i did not hit any traps at all. lastly i played both games in the exact same manner.
i attached the spread sheet i used for both games on here feel free to look at. (dont pay attention to the game with level 15)

the point is if you dont pick up ones you dont need in the rounds before like 20 then in the 20s you will get more when you really need them and then you can pick them up

Something like this need to be tested many times to truly ensure the authenticity of the data. Do this about four or more times and see what the averages are and then we can conclude the true result.

Yea, I understand. Something like this would take quite some time to run the sufficient amount of tests to tell whether the data is accurate in representing the hypothesis.
