Honestly I just have a hard time match making into the daily missions vs. underground. I get into teams immediately for underground and its a few minutes before a single person joins up for the daily mission. If I'm lucky the team fills up halfway through, just wondering if I'm missing anything if I don't run the daily missions.

I actually quit playing Underground for now after getting pretty far in a hard mission, then getting killed at the last moment and wasting about 20 minutes of my time.

I usually have no problems getting into groups as long as I keep my party open and just start the mission.

It's around a 5-10 minute clear for 100 credits. It's really easy but very boring.

Where's all the primo loot in the DZ? I extracted something like 18 of the DZ caches before I noticed they only contained 185 items and some DZ coins. This is at WT4 as well.

That can't be right. I mean, caches award gear scaled to your gear score so world tier doesn't affect what you get. Even if you earn a cache at a low world tier or improve your gear score before opening it you'll still get gear based on your current gear score. I did a bunch of farming in the 205+ DZ yesterday and all the caches I found gave me 229 GS items.

When you're building a character for the DZ, what kind of combat do you anticipate? You've got cover fire, which will be prolonged, and then you've got uncovered, which are usually incredibly quick. I've only been in the DZ since I came back to the game twice now, so I've had a very small experience so far, but it's all been the latter. I'm either getting blown up and die immediately, or I get jumped and gunned down in a matter of two seconds. The two talents I use at the moment, turret and support station, are clearly geared for longer battles, but in my experiences so far, they've been useless to me.

Should I prepare myself to fight in shorter gunfights, or am I putting too much stock into a small number of interactions?

I'm only 44 in the DZ but your best defense in the DZ is a capable squad. If you can handle 33 level enemies OK then you need to plan on Rogues. Stun turret and support station with revive are viable when you extract but that's about it. Both will help if you get ganked by rogues at the time of extraction. I usually use first aid and smart cover and my teammates go with pulse or counter pulse (whatever it's called). I would look at the blind (now banshee) gearset although I haven't tried it yet. I would use your highest DPS weapons at all times. Honestly there are so many good rogues in the DZ that many of my efforts are futile and my character is very good at PvE.

These have been listed before but both are very helpful in figuring out what to use in 1.4

Purple DZ caches are worth 2.5-3.5k DZ bucks and 1-3 div tech, and while div tech has been depreciated it does still convert to high end mats, especially the electronics parts you need to make gears. 30 purple caches is 90k dz bucks. Then there is the monetary value of the purple loot as well.

So apparently the Advanced Weaponry vendor is selling a Military M60 E4 with Meticulous/Capable/Brutal. Combined with a 229 Pakhan (Swift/Destructive/Ferocious) and 4pc AB and you basically have a PVE LMG gunner's wet dream.

I'll let you all know how it is once I get off my rear end and get back to The D.

Be aware that there's a thread in reddit about AB and Pakhan being slightly bugged ( notably Predatory not triggering depending on which slot which weapon is in ).

So I'm coming back to this for the first time in a while. I climbed up to world level 3 pretty easily and I've got something like 480 birdbucks sitting around from 1.0. Is there any point in me buying some shiny new guns with that now, or should I just keep it parked until i'm at the end game stuff?

I'd say the latter. Stamina/Firearms Mod Patterns would be more useful. The game shits weapons at us now.

Firearms and Stamina mods are 696 birdbux if I recall from Skill Up's video. ilvl 33 so it will help immensely.

Just echoing the ilvl33 firearms / stamina mod blueprints as great investments early on. A) they give you something to spend all those crafting mats on, and B) getting mods with armour on them will do huge things for your survivability when you're getting started. The fact that they're 33s also means you'll be at the current cap in terms of max rolls.

300,000 toughness is what you should aim around, it should be closer to 400,000 with a DPS build but you can get away with less with a skill power based build. 200,000 firearms is around what you should be aiming for.

Sell all your old stuff, only deconstruct if you need to craft attachments or gear mods which are the only things worth crafting now
