Well, I do use the hex-eater deal (it takes so little of their health away...), but since I'm a 28 with 16 nades, I can still get decent rep from a group of Piratas. I typically get a two to three hundred points per "round" if I get four or five of them together. So...not bad.
And definitely yes, use smoke. I usually will do ten smoke, then finish with stink pot (rep's probably the same in the long term, but I'm a spaz like that).
Oh, and while I don't actually glitch much (aside from wall hacks and off-the-ship stuff purely for fun
), I certainly will for high level nades...because they're horrible. Were it not for my OCD, I'd have no issue with leaving them completely alone.
