Is BFB the extra damage/bleed mod? I haven't had a chance to use it on extraction people, but my tech skill got boosted to the point where sticky's total damage is now listed at something like 150k with that mod.

BFB really shines if you take the talent that increases the damage by 40% when 2 or more targets are in the AOE. Cap it out at 250k damage and you can murderize groups trying to extract.

got a Nomad chest from a supply drop today, plus grinded out Lexington with some very chill xbros, no doubt packing massive boners. Finally landed me a HE socomM1 too. Today was a good day.

also, getting teleported out of a Lex elevator back to a safehouse in the middle of a goddamn mission is some straight up bullshit.

If anyone one wants to try the challenge mode incursion again tonight at 9:45 ESTI think I have a strategy that might work! It's totally legit; just make sure you only wear electronics gear and maybe some cool down reduction. Also be able to glitch through a wall.

Looks like there's a way to farm it beyond just cheesing it to clear once:

Hopefully it's still up over the next 8 hours.

Do we have two other PS4bros who want to try this tonight @ 10 EST?

Woulda been fine either way, I got past DZ30 so I don't really care about getting jumped by rogues as much anymore.

Well, as long as you don't take my sweet "shirt" I'm trying to extract like that fucker did the other day.

As annoying as some of the stuff in this game can be, things like killing the guy who surprise ganked me makes up for it. All he got from me was HE mat fodder but it's the principle.

I'm done with the other thread. Yeah this game has issues but jesus gently caress if you hate it so much play something else. I hope the day they bring back the M1A blueprints they nerf it into oblivion

Meanwhile I'll be running around the DZ with an SMG/AR and still killing people because I learned to adjust my playstyle to not needing OP crutch weapons

People whining about this game is hilarious. Big ups to the old-man PS4 Krew last night. 2 pieces of striker gear is making a huge difference with my Vector. Saving my bird bucks for a 3rd piece blueprint for that crit damage boost if I don't get one to drop in-between.

BTW – does anyone know what level the set gear is if I craft it from the special vendor blueprint at the BoO?

I'll be on again tonight if anyone wants to Incursion it up. Also want to hit the dark zone now that I can roll through enemies a bit easier.

Eh, the core game is fun, but the developer is completely mismanaging it and new problems keep compounding on the old ones regardless of the system you play on. I'm just glad I didn't buy the season pass right now :v:

I'm putting the game down for now hoping it'll get better in the future. Ratchet and Clank just came out, and Uncharted 4 and Mirror's Edge are on the horizon so at least PS4 isn't starved for good games right now.

214 if I'm not mistaken.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the game is shallow as hell and broken as gently caress, but it's still fun and I'm still enjoying it. I retain some shred of hope that they'll end up with something solid in the end. gently caress all the bitching and moaning, let's shoot some mans and use their droppings to make more things to shoot more mans.

Apparently Lexington on Challenging can drop Kneepads and Gloves. Not sure at what GS, however. 214 probably?

I got my 4th Striker set piece last night and spent the evening running various challenges with random matchmaking. The first two groups had people commenting how "powerful that one dude is" and the third group invited me to their party to help grind more.

I feel like a loving monster in pve.

I got extremely lucky and have been able to get 4 stalker 2 striker and I get lots of "holy poo poo we are murdering these guys" comments and game invites.

I really need to replace my lvl 29 superior Socom M1A. :( My primary is a HE Aug that really tears poo poo up but I need a new MR. Do any of the DZ safehouse vendors have a nice one for sale now? I've already checked DZ1-2. Or any other vendors for that matter.

dz03 safehouse (in the DZ) has a balanced/refill first wave for super cheap provided you're rank 25. You have 2 hours left to buy it before reset. Make sure you do, it rules.

Dz03 is the only one that sells weapons BTW.

Fuuuuuucccckkkkk I'm stuck at work for a couple more hours. Is it really time for the DZ vendors to restock? I thought they reset a couple days ago. Guess I've been running the vendor treadmill too much.

I'll be sure to put that safehouse in my rotation now.

Apart from the glitch is there a general safer spot in the incursion I should aim for? Ran it this morning and we stayed largely In the back room, it wasn't hard, it just took forever (this was on hard mode).

Halfway up on the right there's a platform that provides good sightlines and has only three entry points, all defensible, with two big generator things for cover. Hang here during waves. After you kill the bomb guy, pack travel with survivor link on to get to the left current room. Disable that turret and use survivor link to have a guy place bomb. All run back and down into the tunnel section in the very middle until the APC stops bombing you. Then go back up to the original platform.

There are a few times a major will spawn directly out of a door on this platform but you can focus fire his rear end down.
