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.

Gooch181 posted:Picked this up last night and after fighting for a while to get it to perform on my gtx 660, I am enjoying it. I hit level 9 and activated each wing of the HQ so far. I've had decent luck with pubby groups. First Aid is great for solo play because you're all that you can rely on. Even at end game I still run First Aid - Overdose and Tactical Scanner because knowing where enemies are during an engagement is pretty important. You're gonna want to unlock your signature skills in each wing by buying the 1000 supply upgrade and the 500 supply upgrade right below it. Security = Survival Link, Medical = Recovery Link, and Tech = Tactical Link. If you go down a lot get Recovery Link first. Otherwise, look into Survival Link to make yourself tanky for 15 seconds or Tactical Link to pump out bullets for 15 seconds.

Vax posted:What's the current situaton regarding powerlevelling? I read somewhere if you do all missions on hardest mode you end up 25-27. Then you do all encounters / side missions to max out your station and are pretty much level 30. Easiest way to PL is get several of your friends to just run you through missions - normal, hard, doesn't matter - and once you're finished with the campaign start doing side missions in Midtown East and work your way back to the starting areas. Once you're 30 you can put some of your stash gear on your alt and clear the rest of the map quickly.

Bob NewSCART posted:Any good assault rifles for sale from the vendors this week? Guns this week: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cS35qshvK8 There's a Lightweight M4 in the Terminal at the Special Equipment Vendor (Terminal). It has Predatory, Self-Preserved, and Unforgiving. If you roll Unforgiving away to something else it could be good for a crit-based survival or AlphaBridge build. High-Value Targets: 1. Opening up Search & Destroy Missions - do all side missions and encounters in a zone 2. Do S&D missions to earn intel 3. Turn in intel to buy High-Value Targets (HVT) or High-Risk Targets (HRT) contracts. Contracts are offered in the Security Wing and the Terminal - a. HVTs (weekly or daily) are a one time purchase but you can only have 1 at a time - b. HRTs must be bought every time you attempt them. Dying or not completing the objective in time will require you to purchase it again. In theory the contracts will scale to your party size but I would still err on the caution and get a few friends.

Galewolf posted:-Will people suck my dick if I play medic/support because I'm a mutant who loves doing that poo poo? Keep in mind that abilities that revived players from a downed state now revive them from death. If you build your character to have have high skill power and haste you can theoretically help your allies stay up. Of course, if you're using the abilities that revive them often then there's something wrong with your group. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So I finally managed to play about 3-4 hours of group content last night and I have to agree with the people who have said that enemies still feel like bullet sponges. It still takes 2+ mags by myself to take out WT4 enemies on challenging while running with a full team. The real kicker though is that at 350k toughness I do not feel squishy at all. I feel like player toughness is at the point where unless you manage to walk into a monster closet while 6 LMBs come out you can retreat and pop a heal to survive. Long encounters can be a bitch because of the skill power changes. For my 200k/350k/76k main character it still feels like ages to get my overdose heal back from cooldown. Finally, I really wish there was a ilvl 33 performance mod blueprint that I could buy. My P-mods are a mish mash of anything that I could throw in slots when I would much prefer 5% self heal mods.

chami posted:Oof, not sure SMGs are any good if they can't crit, but that's a way to keep them balanced with the tankiness of the shield. They should probably fix Decisive gloves though since those only work with sidearms. I believe it's meant to be only with that set. If you use a Ballistic Shield with an SMG, you can't crit. With the way the set is built, it's meant to be a tanky threat generating set so you go with as much shield health that you can stack, CC/self heal, and threat gear to hold agro.

Deviant posted:Shouldn't I just try to get a decent actual set first? But "Get more armor" is a fair assertion, I suppose. Anything worth de-prioritizing? Credits fall from the sky now so you might as well just reroll everything when you want. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QUTygu2eeTk6TlREtlgGIoJHLTXl9IrixvoaUq8xaZg/edit For a DPS guide I would start here and tweak as needed. For instance, one set suggestion in their guide is 4 pc AlphaBridge/2 High-Ends, but I prefer the ammo from Lone Star so I made a 4pc AB/2 pc LS set. I would still hold onto the Nomad holster even if you get another set because holsters are pretty universal. As for deprioritizing...I would say just read the guide. It gives you some idea of what people are doing with each set and you can decide if that's what you want to do. I too like ARs and LMGs and can't hit for poo poo with shotguns so I've gravitated towards the AlphaBridge, Lone Star, and Striker sets. I still have a bunch of Tactician's Authority and Reclaimer because sometimes I want to support instead of shoot things. Rick_Hunter fucked around with this message at 22:19 on Nov 7, 2016 |

Aesis posted:What weapon talents should I have for Alpha Bridge? Currently I have G36 with Self-Preserved and Brutal, Lightweight M4 with Swift/Destructive/Brutal and Commanding/Fierce/Skilled (rolled Commanding), and SCAR-L with Meticulous/Accurate/something (rolled Meticulous). Are you going for pure DPS or skill heavy? PVE or PVP? For PVE DPS, Get rid of any skills (Fierce, Commanding, Talented, Adept, etc) that require high amounts of electronics unless you want to devote 1 armor piece to getting that. If you can get a good talent with electronics, try to get it in the 3rd slot so you don't have to hit those high electronics requirements. Brutal and Deadly are mid tier to me because although they do what they say, you can't really stack crit damage and headshot damage like you used to. They're nice if you get them but don't reroll for them unless you have everything else. God: Destructive, Ferocious (3rd slot) God (solo): Predatory Mid: Brutal, Deadly, Accurate, Stable, Capable, Skilled (3rd slot), Determined (3rd slot), Responsive Mid (solo): Self-Preserved, Sustained, Unforgiving (  )Garbage: Anything with with electronics requirements, anything with 'chance on hit' or 'first/last shot', Meticulous, Swift, Balanced, Prepared Rick_Hunter fucked around with this message at 01:48 on Nov 8, 2016 |

The worst one I can remember I finally wound up starting at some building 2 or 3 full blocks away and wound up going over some bridge/catwalk thing to get to the actual building where the drone was. In each case the initial entry point is almost never anywhere near where the drone itself is. insert name here mostly answered your question but for the bolded part it still wouldn't work. Although The Division's map is mostly true to the real world NYC Manhattan, it cuts out a lot of streets. You can see this with things like jumping from 47th Ave to 49th Ave. So no, using google maps would not work and you'd more likely confuse yourself because some streets just aren't there.

TomVanDam posted:Quick question, me and a buddy of mine just started playing again after the recent patch. The game really does poo poo loot at you now, but is there any point in picking up the underground dlc? Considering how much loot I get from just about anything is there anything to make the loot from underground worth the money? Underground (UG) doesn't change gameplay in any way so it's not essential. The only difference is that it adds another xp bar to fill and gives you semi-procedurally generated missions to play on. It's largely repetitive but back before 1.4 it was a good source of high end and gear set items from getting UG XP although the game weighted certain sets heavily for UG (Banshee and FireCrest). If you and your buddy would like missions where the challenge comes from modifiers like no radar, limited ammo, or enemies with special ammo, go for it. Otherwise, you aren't missing much.

ZombyDog posted:PTS winds up in 12 hours, and the 22nd of November for 1.5 looks like it is locked in. Solo WT5 seems quite doable with GS229 gear, so gearing up to GS256 shouldn't be a drama. There's threads on Reddit bemoaning the fact that that the weapon talent requirements have gone up for the GS256 guns, but the arguments were being based on wearing GS229 Armour ( the two FA, 3 Stam + holster formula will still meet the GS256 weapon requirements ), so these posts are safe to ignore. The EAD / VS Armour roll discussion is a little more interesting but the math is looking like it's still beneficial to just roll armour ( and to be honest 2 of my 3 current GS229 builds rely on assault rifles with Destructive so, meh ). I do wonder if we're over valuing armour though, I mean I'm not running incursions - but my experience in PVP with running my firecrest firemage ( although maybe RIP when the Joe Ferro's mask comes out ) and only 50% mitigation had just been just as good as when I've been running my Pred set with 59% mitigation. You probably have a good deal of CC when you run your firemage so you're not getting shot all the time. I think stacking armor and stam is relatively important for DPS that uses their guns for DPS. They really did emphasize the zero sum game with 1.4 - you're gonna have to give up a lot of other stats to build a character like in 1.3.

ZombyDog posted:Just for reference, if using average rolls, 5636 Firearms is achievable with 2 firearm armour pieces, holster and 4 gears ( or straight up just 3 FA pieces + holster ), with good rolls ( not max ) you can hit this with 2 FA pieces, holster and 3 gears. I don't think that's onerous at all. It is kind of onerous when you think about the stamina and toughness you have to give up to get that. With mediocre rolls that's 2 stam pieces and 2 gear mods to make yourself not squishy.

I came back today and went from gear score 70 to 229 in an hour or two thanks to a friend running me through stuff. I have a mix of weird gear and want to start forming a "build" of sorts for group play and solo. For a group, i like the idea of turrets and shield, maybe a combat medic of some kind? For solo, I'm open to suggestions. The talent/perk system confuses me and I was hoping people could post their gear/builds and what is working best for them. The game is really fun now! Don't worry about stacking Firearms that much, you want to stack Electronics and Stamina to increase your skill power (better skills, lower cooldowns) and toughness. Aim for about 300k toughness and you're good for all top content. For skills you'll probably be running First Aid - Defibrilator, Support Station, and Recovery Link.

Roman posted:Gear score means more powerful, it's pretty simple now. (It used to be kinda nebulous, where lower score items could be better than high ones, until they reworked the system). When you hit level 30 and it gives you the option for World Tiers, just keep playing and gearing up until you have enough gear score to unlock a new tier. You usually will be a bit squishy right when you go to a new tier, but if it's too rough you can just jump back down to a lower tier until you have better equipment. To piggyback on this, GS is not the end all for gear but it is important for the benefits that gear gives you. Higher gear score items will roll numerical stats in exclusively higher tiers - there is no over lap between a 204 GS backpack and a 229 GS backpack. There is overlap with percentage based stats. Another thing that GS does not completely matter with is weapons and AlphaBridge. AB allows you to gain the benefit of all the activated talents in both your primary and secondary weapons IF the 2 weapons are the same archetype. However, with weapon talents being normalized that means that a GS 182 assault rifle will have the same weapon talents but lower requirements. So you could potentially have a great AR in your primary slot with good firearms/stamina based perks and a GS 163 AR in your secondary slot with talents that require electronics @ 1900 or so. Now you have 6 talents active and you didn't have to put anything into electronics. TL;DR: GS is important for gear so you get higher stat rolls but not greatly important for percentage based stats. GS is not as important for weapons if you're using an AlphaBridge build.
