just fight the fed bro why does it matter, jAPD loses nothing and waves infinite times. The rebel equipment is not the issue, its every dick swinging PO that thinks they are going to be the hero and thinks they have to slam the extremely fortified bunkers and shit. Over half of junior apd doesnt even use combat stance.
the only time feds and bw are genuinely aids are when theres just POs and Deputies and nobody wants to take charge and everyone faceslams with sport hatchs. Even so, ive seen soooooo many times where this is the case and invisible admins spawn us some ifirits and hunters to at least give us a chance.
these fed events are what you make of it. i personally think its some of the best content that you get to respond as apd
