poptart_fairy posted:Playing a bit before I head off to the folks for dinner and holy poo poo, Classy striker mask drops for me again! If you actually really really need a piece and it drops in the DZ while you’re solo, do NOT pick it up. Stand over the loot and pick up the other pieces, in a really obvious way and see if you can smoke out any possible rogues. Wander around a bit and get a feel for the server. If you have to get it out Solo for some reason, wait for a contamination event or a manhunt that’s far from a safer extract. Go back and grab the poo poo off the ground once you have 8/9 things in your pack. Extract at Dz04 east or 05 west. Even better, run to a loving safe house and put out an apb for some bros to help you extract with blue and green and yellow ults, turrets and shock nades at the ready.

Hulk Krogan posted:What are some good DZ builds that don't require classified gear? Are non-set skull gloves sets viable at all? I put together a 3 Banshee/ 2 Predator/ Ninja Bag set with a House and an M4 which seems decent. It chews through yellow bars easily enough with 6k+ FA and SMG/AR damage gloves, but I haven't had a chance to test it out against other players. non set skull gloves are viable but you can't run the Hybrid build 6/4/5 or whatever from 1.7, you either need to invest in firearms with a bit of stam or electronics with a bit of stam. MDR isn't great on console any more due to stamina being back in a good way, people can get up in your face again so an lvoac or m4 or house is probably better 3 banshee 2 pred will still work but you need to be able to hard counter Striker and Banshee (emp and edr/immunity station, respectively, so if you are solo and running conceal pulse, pick your poison). Nomad, well, you will lose to a good nomad build most likely. Nomad is a pita But really - unless you are looking for trouble you can easily get by in the DZ without a 6pc classy meta set.

Hakarne posted:6200 FA, but I stack a lot of multipliers. I'm running an offensive D3-FNC/Ninjabike/Nomad set up with classified pieces and Big Alejandro/The House. Most people seem to run the shield in a defensive set up but those shield damage mods add a LOT of damage, and the shield lets you be really aggressive and push up on NPCs. I also use purple stam mods with DTE. Combined with Nomad, poo poo just melts and you get a nice 15% heal for everyone you kill. yeah it's funny, the opposite of what everyone was thinking is happening: 6pc DFNC for PvP in a group, offensive NBB DFNC for pve in a group

A good smg is great for leveling because most enemies don’t have armor and when they do, you probably should be far away and using a sniper rifle. SMG innate bonus of crit chance works on everything.

Hakarne posted:Yeah my second favorite build is classified nomad (actually 5 piece with a Barrett's Vest). I was still able to do challenging lex in under 10 minutes, challenging UG, solo DZ landmarks etc with the Nomad and you're still pretty tanky. However, for me personally I can do everything faster and better with my D3-FNC set. Admittedly this may be because I've been using it since the D3-FNC set was put in the game and I just know its quirks better. But nomad is definitely my 2nd choice by a longshot and it's very solid. The one thing it does have on the shield is mobility - I loved being able to move around and reposition without having to worry about that 1 second delay while you deploy the shield. If you have classy striker you owe it to yourself to do either a 4/9/3 shotgun/ar build or a 4/6/5 build with a skilled/determined/commanding M4 for perma tac link. I’ll post a vid soon.

Is their drop rate just super, super low compared to regular set items? Get your rear end to the DZ and kill named guys or get on that Resistance farm if you want classy gear right now. Always try and run in a group so you can share stuff.

poptart_fairy posted:So, something I wondered... Is there a unique sort of culture surrounding NYC and its history? I'm English and it seems that a lot of media I enjoy - this, Castle, a bunch of other US stuff - has a big, big theme of New Yorkers being super in love with the city and treating it as a beating heart of their lives. New York is our London but without any of the bullshit that accompanies being the seat of the national government. It’s also where pretty much all of the European immigrants landed when arriving here so for lots of people it has a special place in their hearts.

I actually like DZ03 and hiding in the 2 story tent. Dz02 across the way can wind up pretty dicy if you get hunters with certain weapons/skills, if they hide on the left, or if more agents show up to bring out more hunters.

Knifegrab posted:Finally one more question: What are all the ways I can up signature skill recovery speed? I want to be able to pop off recovery link like its going out of style. You want to try and run a gun with determined(7.5% skill cooldown reduction per kill, including sig) and skilled(5% sig cooldown reduction per headshot kill, which is objectively worse than Determined but it stacks, so 12.5% sig cooldown reduction per headshot kill). To get both these skills active you need ~5k electronics, so if you're not able to do that, just have a weapon with determined in the free slot. (Note that a double barrel sawed off shotgun in the pistol slot can roll determined in the free. Normal pistols don't have a free slot aside from the default Expert perk. You could also roll coolheaded as well but it only rolls on MMRs and Pistols. It's a deec but not great skill but at least it doesn't require you to actually kill anything, so if you're a piss-boi medic with no DPS you can use a sniper from inside your support station or out of harm's way.

Lol some jackass snuck in and grabbed some drops off of the cleaner guys as I was clearing out the LZ landmark right on the SWborder of the DZ and said some snarky poo poo, and guess who I see in my feed go down in the DZ trying to clear the LMB roadblock landmark? Yup, same guy. I have never Beelined so fast to a guy’s corpse in my life, I wonder what it looked like to watch me emote on his unconscious rear end for the entirety of his bleed out. He dropped me basically a full set of yellow armor, a yellow rpk and a ton of mats too

poptart_fairy posted:Hahaha what the gently caress. My highest score is still only 14k. once you get to the DZ craft and drop your flare gun and pick it up a bunch to hit the 20k weekly amount. Craft 2 if you can to speed up the process. That's probably more like a 19k score without that. I like survival but it's tough to play more than 4 games a week, so I'd rather one on each of my characters for the 4 weekly caches.

Captain Beans posted:What kind of gear/ability/loadout were you running? M44 and black market rpk, both yellow. I also had a pretty full set of yellow armor. The key is at the very start of your survival run, once you have 4 green tools, doubling back to an outside ring LZ safehouse and making two green extended mags. Keep them in your guns as you upgrade. Hunters are dodgy shitheads so having a 50%+ larger mag is a huge help to burst them down. I’m a big fan of the black market rpk for hunter encounters, the out of cover bonus on LMGs owns when they charge you and an AR’s armor damage is worthless against hunters. The m44 can drop them in 3 shots generally, but they only like to give up 2 hits before hiding or healing. I use it more for 2 quick headshots if I can. Always run pulse and be super careful. I like to run first aid so my med kits are just for rezing or the emergency 3rd. The thing I have found win hunters is they are easier to deal with as a solo player, save for when random idiots come into your extract and spawn more in a bad spot. If people do this to me I stop fighting the hunters and bail, then reposition to watch the fight and generally watch the new arrivals get owned.

Psion posted:It's this one. Generally, whatever your skillpower is at the time you deploy any skill determines that skill's strength. what I did when I ran a build similar to yours was deploy the station, get to full health, and then deploy my other skill like a turret or BFB or something and get the boosted strength on that second one. not sure if that's gonna help you out or not, but it's a thing you could do. yeah thats a super good clarifying point you need to be careful about positioning and having an escape route and avoiding the flank if more show up but you need to know exactly when to get aggressive to finish them off. The AI is pretty good against the level of gear you can bring to a fight in survival, so when you have the window you need to recognize it and be able to act

iSheep posted:I always craft the G36 + the attachments that do crit bonuses. Throw in some firearms mods and it melts down hunters fairly quick if they get close enough. G36 is not great: it always rolls focused in the free which is useless against hunters, you’re always using skills. Other guns could get something awesome in the free slot. Also AR-intrinsic enemy armor damage is worthless agains them, so even the ACR isn’t great. Try a black market RPK, you’ll never look back.

You can’t craft extended mags at mid ring hideouts. Only on the edges. Mid rings are where you make an omega rifle suppressor. Next to and in the dz you can’t craft either.

Fuzz posted:Hunters basically always have a decently high chance at dropping Exotics or Classy pieces. UG hunters. I motion for hunters to always be called either UG Hunters or Survival Hunters because while they are the “same thing” they are very different in context.

My dudes extended mags are so good and worth backtracking for if you can do it. They completely change the DZ/hunter encounter dynamics. If I’m bothering to extract I’m almost always first out even with backtracking. Obviously don’t worry about it if you’re doing fine but maybe give it a try if you can?

Captain Beans posted:Still new to survival - what are you focusing on when you're not bothering to extract? I thought basically all rewards required extraction. Getting 20k points for the weekly, getting weird achievements like -22 degree protection or scavenging from corpses (most of which are in the LZ and you’re gonna be hurting for div tech if you’re late to the dz party. Survival caches and the like aren’t actually that great once you’re geared up in classifieds. Extracting is fun though, survival hunter fights are the best if you don’t cheese them.

Your defib will basically always be up and your vig chest will let you always have full health for your backpack to give you the 15% bonus. For single player you might like the additional survivability but you don’t get the second offensive skill for keeping the heat off your rear end, so the reckless backpack two offensive skill build might be more your style. For group play the bomb/defib/vig/inventive is the way to go.
