Hello! I have been busily saving my pennies and am currently at about 1850Au. I was initially going to buy a pair of Aphids, since they seem so popular and people keep shooting me with them, but have recently been pretty dang impressed by the Zeus Carnage. The only Au weapon that I've got so far is one Orkan (currently on my Cossack) and it honestly wasn't the paradigm shift that I'd expected an Au weapon to be (hence it being onthe 'sack). I realize that only one Zeus will not be the amazing experience that I'm expecting, but I figure it'll be fun while I save for another. If I go this route, I'd set the Carnage up with the Zeus and a Trident, then move the Leo back into some other role (probably knifer). Otherwise, I'm looking at moving my Plasma Griffin to the Taran Aphid configuration. Outside option is to just sit on the gold, since I've come this far with just Ag and WSP, so it's not like spending the cash today is requisite to having fun.  |

Good thing you already have the 5th slot, so things should be easier by now.
I would go for:
1 Orkan > 1 Galahad > 2 Zeuses > 2 Orkans > Fury > 1 Zeus
Dunno about Lancelot though because when you have gold for all that stuff he might be outclassed by the Dash MK2 if he ever gets to live servers in its current state.
Also, you should run another Plasma bot when you can, thats why I recomended Galahad, by the time you have him you should get another Taran, try to have 4x Tarans/ 4x Magnuns before any other WP buy.
Zeus is still buged as far as I know, so its not reliable until they fix that (And when they do, people will start spaming the hell out of it).
I like Orkan/Aphid better than Taran/Aphid though, Mags have more DPM Than Aphids, but Pinatas have less DPM than Aphids, so that's why you see more Aphids on DB configurations (Also because the extra 50M makes you more flexible).

Orkans are best in pairs. I'd get another first.

Agreed with Thunderkiss and above. Get the 2nd Orkan first.

2 Orkans, 1 Galahad, 2 Orkans, Fury, 4 Aphids, Lancelot, Ancile, '''2 Zeus'''
In that order.

As the others advised, cover the basics first and get more Orkans, maybe a Galahad or Lance. Zeus are great on a Carnage for mid-range, but I found they need to be L9 or 10 before making a meaningful impact. In the meantime, your RDB will work well for MR, but the Zeus are something to keep in mind for the future.

2 Orkans, 1 Galahad, 2 Orkans, Fury, 4 Aphids, Lancelot, Ancile, '''2 Zeus''' In that order. If you swap the spots of fury and zues thats pretty much my order. Not too interested in the fury playstyle and expect a meta shift well before I am tt at any rate. |

I have 3 zeus's. I've gotten them to level 7. Playing in gold1 league. I've tried em on my fury and carnage. Hell I've even put one on my Lance. Now they collect dust in my hangar. I've got 4 orkans. Saving for two more. I never leave my hangar with out em. Orkans take your game play to a whole nother level. You should have 4 orkans before any other gold purchases. As stated above: zeuses are fun but they arn't a game changer. I think you'll be dissapointed that you spent 3000 gold for two. Once you start running out of things to buy with gold you can consider zeuses. Unless you're a pay to win guy like me then go ahead, it's only money. Time is way more valuable IMO.
Anyway, that's my take on it, that's my advice. You do what ever the f#$k ya wanna do!
Peace.

Thanks for the better, everyone! I pulled the trigger on the second Ork this morning and am currently leveling it up. I've heard enough takes of regret from Au purchases that I figured asking for wisdom from you all would pay off.
Looks like I'll be buying Griffin #3 now...

One more point FYI. .. when firing orks you must learn to lead your target. If your cross hair ain't red you ain't hitting sh1t.
