RIP solo dark zone for anyone above 200 gear score. I shit you not it seems like it is easier to kill other players than clear a landmark.
I could barely solo before. The shotgun snipers were already taking me down too quickly. Hopefully with the new loot drops I can actually get a build together
Got 204 first wave m1a with shitty talents from refueling station boss which required me to use a bunch of medkits and ammo. Also got a gear set loot cache from there another time. 264k DPS, 250k toughness, 23k skill and holy shit is this hard as a solo without sentry bonus and the extra headshot damage. That said encounters with rogues last much longer. I fought a 1v3 for a good 2 minutes before the 4th buddy came up behind me after I ran out of medkits.
New incursion is fun considerably more fun than the Lost Falcon. Beat it today rather easily. Move quickly and effectively as a unit and you'll cruise through it. Try to have a couple survivor links at the end to take down the boss otherwise the NPCs just keep coming until you're overran.
DZ 200+ is a nuttshot. You can't run by anyone who can't kill you. Purple assholes kill you if you aren't careful. Currently sitting at 225/297/21 (2 sentry / 3 tactician)
You aren't going to be seeing rogues running by mobs trying to run away. Because if they run by the wrong mob they are going to be dead. Honestly it is an amazing new wrinkle.
Just purchased this a few weeks ago. I am the furthest thing from a gamer but I've always been a big TC fan so I figured I give this a shot. Now, again I am not much of a gamer and I only fire up the PS4 every once in a blue moon when Madden comes. Other than that, I rarely play and I have never done the online thing. I don't even know how, please don't make fun of me, I am a married old man. Wife and kid are out of town tonight so I'm thinking I'll get in a few quality hours with my new game that I am quite enjoying. Turn on the PS4 and it tells me I need to update the new app or some shit (again, I know nothing about this stuff). It says it's going to take 4 fucking hours to download? Oh and you can't play the game at all while it's downloading? Is that the case or is there some bypass thing that allows me to play while the DL occurs?
You're SOL right now. Its a 5gb update for the game. It only took me 5 minutes but I'm on XB1 (not sure if it's PSN or your internet that slows it down)
You can try to pause the download and find a quicker server, but if it's telling you 4 hours, I'm not sure how much it'll help. As a note, most patches happen on Tuesday, so if you turn on your PS4 on Tuesday and put it in rest mode it will do all the downloading/installing without you even knowing it
New incursion is way more fun than falcon lost. But I have a feeling it is going to be brutal on challenging.
Yeah, I'm really enjoying this update. Beat the incursion about 4 or 5 times yesterday. I love the dz now, too. My first drop was the hungry hog, so im jusr raining nonstop bullets down on people. Ran with a group yesterday, and was just cutting ropes of people that were by themselves or with just one other. Stole like 2 240 gear set pieces from some poor guy at one time. He chased us all around the map, but it was already extracted by the time he got a group to kill me
The dz is great now, so hard Only issue is all the 240 gear I get has terrible stats or I will get a jump in dps but kills my health Did pick up a great vector 204 last night I also have about 10 purple sealed caches in my stash. Holding them for now
4 piece predator's mark bonus is definitely OP in PVP. Fucking bleed causing you to run slow which essentially makes you a sitting duck. Had a 1 v 5 where some assholes finally got me because of that crap. Might have to grab the mask that removes status effects with a medkit or something because I can't eat a candy bar all the time. That shitty point aside I am loving the new PVP that 1.2 has brought on. Actually feel like these fights that don't have the predator's mark groups are actually fun as opposed to the instant death before. Running 3 striker, 2 sentry, and a reckless chest. 276k DPS, 344K toughness, and 23K skillpower. Think I am missing just 1 240 piece on my kneepads and then it will be all about min/max on that set for me. Have seen a really interesting 4 piece tactician, 2 piece final measure build where you become an absolute tank with 500k toughness and maxed out skills. Would probably be nice to have one of those in the group.
You on Xbox? I want to run with you Anyways Got an Aug 204 with a pretty good roll last night and can get my dps up to 215 and toughness around the 250 mark so I am pretty happy now. My issue is gear sets, I have a total miss match for gear and can't even have two of the same. Also my skill power is dreadful at like 11k
I am a ps4 player unfortunately. On skill power a 3 bonus holster then taking skill power on your backpack and mask is the easiest way to get it over 20k. My big searches are for a new 204 Aug, MP5, or MP7, 240 sentry/striker knee pads, and an upgraded 240 sentry/striker holster as I have realized the rolls on the main stats are actually on the low end of the range. After that I might start trying to put together an interesting Tactician gear set. I already have an amazing 2 mod slot Tactician chest, but I think it would actually be better to run a 204 vigorous chest so I can run an overheal booster shot. Thinking a 4 piece tact set with vigorous chest and savage gloves would be really interesting. Just take the skill power on mask and backpack then let the 4 piece talent do all the work maxing out your skills. I would suggest trying to decide what you want to be and what activities you are doing. Are you a solo type player who wants to fit in with multiple groups? Or do you want to be a support player for your group and can fit into a role there? Do you just want to PVP and kill rogues? Lots of different builds for different activities and will make you choose which gear set you want to run.
I'm on xbone. I can take you under my wing. Got a big crew that all plays together. I warn you though, I'm searching for a few certain pieces then I'll be back to strictly hunting rogues. I'm currently sitting at 225/395/17. Level 92 dz
Also, something incredible would have to happen for me to ditch my savage gloves. They're easily the best gear I've got. I run two augs most of the time
4 of us lvl 177-190 couldn't even get past the first part of the new incursion last night i really just want a new gun so fucking bad. game is getting really hard for me to get excited to play since I literally cannot upgrade via any of the numerous fucking methods out there.
#Blessed doing a half-season binge of Peaky Blinders but should be done and ready to shoot some shit by ~9:30c
That was fun. got my toughness up from 62K to 230k. DPS is still fucking 101K even with my new 204 AUG. how is that possible? it has all good mods on it. Why is my guy such a fucking vagina
Just because it's a 204 aug doesn't mean it's a good one. Talents mean everything on weapons. That and the original hit power.
well we had to cut victor because he was a weak link and caused lots of problems in the locker room. more of a ME player and not a TEAM player
It went rather smoothly once I joined. I was surprised we made it through on my other squad but we persevered.
I will need some guys to take me under my wing also. Have made it to the final boss three times in the new incursion but just can't take him down. Going to get a new controller here soon so I can use my new headset so maybe soon you guys can help a brother out.
I've gotten MAYBE 10 rogue kills since the 1.2 update. Pussies won't go rogue anymore That said, I'm about to be gone for 2 weeks so join up with gin buckets and trofie for help
