It's great for you right now when you're not a DPS/health superstar. On challenge mode equip flashbangs. Flashbang a dide. Shoot the guy you flashbanged in the head with an extended mag. You will now immediately have another flashbang.

I used it all the time back before I started being able to run 175k+ dps with 75k+ health. Now not so much but I'll still Bust it out occasionally.

How is the matchmaking in this game so loving awful? From the start it has been bad, and every maintenance things seem to get worse. I'll set up matchmaking, then the game will sometimes take me to a loading screen where I'm in a queue, and once I reach the end of the queue I go right back to wherever I was without a group. That's most of the time. Then when I actually do find a group, it's either disbanded or it puts me somewhere seemingly at random on the map, no where near the actual mission.

Crosspostin' from the main thread. I'm working on L14 DZ dude...:

Sandweed posted:

I've gotten good drops from the DZ, and from challenge mode bosses, but crafting is where most of the stuff I use is from.

Drops from the DZ: 2 attachments, backpack (also a midas I don't use)
From bosses: SRS Covert, vest, 1 attachment, SCAR-L
Crafting: mask, super 90, gloves, knee pads, vector, MP5, black market AK, holster.

You avoid gear with +xp on kills, don't activate the security wing until you are 14 since the perk you get immediately gives you a 10% boost to XP gains. Only do supply missions and story stuff, focus on medical wing.

I have a 14 with Overdose, all the medkit perks, scanner upgrade, security link, BFB and filter lvl 4.

EDIT: Once you get to DZ rank 30 the Rank 30 chests will shower you in purple gear, and you can use your DZ creds to buy stuff from the vendors in the checkpoints/safe houses. If you group with someone that are already DZ 30 they can open the chests for you. Kill any lvl 14* you run across that is DZ rank 30+ their bags are full of purples to probably. Any purple gear you don't use you send to your main for deconstruction.

*Kill everyone all the time, manhunt is fun.

Nice. That's basically what I've been doing but avoiding armor/gear with xp bonus is a bit tough since it seems like EVERYTHING drops with that. I'm hoping some nice goons will help me get through some of the tougher encounters for the big supply rewards.

So if anyone wants to help me out, I'm Wade_2340 on PSN. Will buy you premie or a avatar or soemthing for your trouble.

Anyway, gearwise for L14 DZ, I'm thinking marksman rifle and a drat good SMG?

I think a lot of this is people trying ineffectually to form supergroups. Your best bet is to go to the mission in your instance, matchmake, and do all the inviting instead of joining. Otherwise its a crap shoot where the host is and you could get moved to a random safe area near them.

Also a question, best gear is coins->blueprints->crafting right? Full ilvl 30 from challenging missions only got me, 123k dps 66k health when seems lower than what I've seen elsewhere.

I'm kind of starting to wrap my head around the numbers of this game. Right now I want to prioritize getting my armor up, which I think is around 54%?

Let me throw some ballpark numbers at you off the top of my head :

Primary DPS - 114K
Health - 90k
Skill - can't remember

Firearms - 1889
Stamina - ~3000
Electronics - ~2300

Do I have enough of a buffer in the health department to drop it down for a lot more dps? Should I be on the lookout for firearms mods to put on my stamina gear? More firearms gear in general?

I can do pretty well surviving manhunts, but when it's time to fight I don't really feel like I'm pulling my weight.

I wouldn't really worry about it all that much until the 12th because all the changes are going to shift the meta quite a bit. Stockpile as many credits, birdcoins and high-end materials as you can and wait.

165k/90k firearms stam with 65% armor DR is the current gold standard. drop your electronics.

I shifted my gear around once to push my stats into firearms/stamina and with my skill power as low as it was the first aid skill would only restore 1 to 1.5 bars of health. With all my stats hovering around 2k I can go from being at death's door to full overheal with first aid. Was my game bugging out or is there another way players are healing with low skill power?

You don't heal with the first aid skill, you use the booster shot to get damage boost and pop survivor link in an emergency. You're constantly regening health because you have a bugged regen mask and you use a medkit to heal because there's absolutely no delay. All you need is 1.5 bars because you heal from the first bar above the threshold to trigger the normal regen for the third bar on top of your bugged regen mask's regen.

Current DZ PvP is built entirely around survivor link and loving bugs like this poo poo and double revive.

I got a yellow drop on the last go-around! It was a worthless mask, but free materials are always appreciated. Afterwards, I hit the exact birdcoin requirement for a stamina gear mod and electronics backpack so I'm looking forward to rolling a bunch more on the challenges to scoop up those coins.

Increase drop rates of High-End items on named NPCs (100% drop rate, actually)
Increase drop rates of Division Tech, to make it less of a bottleneck than it currently is
("we will also increase drop rates of Division Tech materials to 40% on level 32 named enemies in the Dark Zone.")
Modify loot tables for each named NPC, to make the hunt for loot more controlled
Increase conversion costs of lower quality materials to high quality ones, making it harder to convert low quality materials into high quality ones
Decrease construction yields, making it less interesting to farm lower quality items in order to obtain crafting materials, and because youll get more High-End items as a whole
Increase cost of crafting High-End items, because High-End materials will be much easier to come by
These changes will not only make crafting and dropping more coherent towards each other, but will also make it feel much more fun and rewarding.
Re: the first point, certain names NPCs will drop certain kinds of HE items. So if you want a M1A you can go kill a specific NPC

Motherfucker, this explains the two man group that was able to survive six people firing at them. Even if one of them got downed the other could survive being in the open and revive his buddy while getting shot up. :psyduck:

Makes me feel a bit better about my comparatively poor PVP skills. My build's "legitimate" and doesn't use that mask; though I'm starting to think having a straight 2k/2k/2k build is going to hamstring me in the long run.
