Bit of a noob compared to most ITT I guess but any tips for gathering the hunter masks? What is the connection with the lion eyes I found a few of? Is it feasible for a L30 solo player to take them on? I have a Pestilence and found a Diamondback the other day which I could use. Any thoughts appreciated!

Got a quick ? about expansions. I had an email with 55% off WON. I’m L30 WT5 at the moment. I’m considering buying it but I hear that once you begin you can’t travel back to DC until you’ve completed it, is that right? Some of my friends are cheapskates and probably won’t buy WON and I don’t want to be stuck unable to play with them if you know what I mean. If that is the case, could I use a second ‘agent’ in DC? I haven’t L8 agent I only used for a short while. Could I play in DC with that character while my ‘proper’ one is stuck in NY? Cheers!

Inferior posted:It's true you can't go back to DC until you complete the WONY story, but it's only 5 missions long. You can blast through it fairly quickly. You can keep playing with an alt in DC if you really want to though. Is it? I thought it would be longer than that. Thanks for clarifying.

Got the WON expansion and really enjoying it so far. Haven’t done any missions yet as I’m politely waiting for my buddies to catch up but I did make L40 and today I killed a named elite and he dropped a Lady Death SMG. It looks wicked - any thoughts from agents using it already?

Right, couple of questions chaps. I finished the NY thing and got the watch, then headed back to DC. I thought I’d try ‘re-rolling’ an exotic. I have (or had) several on my wall including Merciless, Pestilence and Lady Death. I also picked up a Sweet Dreams once back in DC. When I went to the crafting station it said the blueprints for all the exotics I had weren’t available and I needed the actual weapon to be able to obtain the blueprint, even for the weapon I have in my loadout right now (the Sweet Dreams). I went to the firing range and all my exotics have vanished! Any ideas what’s up? Also can someone explain how the ‘seasons’ work and whether it’s worth splashing out £8 to get the pass? Cheers agents!

Can we talk about green gearsets and which are best for solo players? I’ll be honest, all the fine detail and obsession about ‘builds’ doesn’t really choke my chicken but I do want to be an effective and resilient killer. I play solo the vast majority of the time and my style tends to be ‘get the drone up, lob a seeker mine in from distance then pick off as many bandits as I can with an AR, getting the shotty out for any that get too close’. I collected a load of Hunter’s Fury gear but that seems more tuned for close quarters than my style, am I right? I have several bits of True Patriot, would that suit me better do you think? Also people keep talking about Eclipse but I haven’t found any parts, where do you get that?

Sniping is very much not my thing. Spray and pray all day long, although I did find a really good gun called Glory Daze which has 100% stability. It does about 10k damage less than the one I was using but the fact that it stays on target so well means it’s really really effective with In-Sync. What’s a good chest talent to use? I have Vigilance on my bag for the 25% extra weapon damage and Trauma seems to be the best I can find for chest. I’ll set up and try a TP build tonight and see how it is.

You’re right about the in-sync thing, I hadn’t realised that had stopped working when I picked up this gun! I’ll have a look for some ND gear and try that as well.

I’ll shut up about gear sets for solo play soon. I found some ND gear and I’m using the Armor and Pack to get the extra talents. It seems like the effective way to use it is put a few rounds into one enemy then move onto his friend so that the damage spreads, rather than finish one off before moving on. Does that make sense? I’m looking for Eclipse gear and it appears that it’s use is strongly linked to status effects. Does this mean it works best with weapon talents like Eyeless/Ignited/Sadist etc?

Found a few bits of Eclipse gear so might trade ND for that later on. My question is how the gently caress do you stay alive using EP? My armour already dropped from 1.2m to around 900k by changing my usual gear for ND and when I compared the EP stuff it will drop to about 600k. I’m gonna get shanked. Is it a case of just stay the gently caress out of the way?

Kibayasu posted:Whenever I played Eclipse it felt like a group support build. You foam enemies, set them on fire, and/or disrupt them for other people to shoot and kill. If you’re using it by yourself I think you’d almost have to run with 1 status effect skill and then either the gun turret/drone, the latter at the very least to deal with tanks or robots. Makes sense. Might give it a try on some easy checkpoints then save it for when I play with friends on a Monday.

This was hilarious with the spawnclosets in American History and Air and Space Museums last night, not to mention one hostage rescue and a few supply convoys. I just want an EP chest piece then I’m going to try the same. Are you a solo player and how does it work out on your own? What weapons and skills are you using with the EP? So many questions lol.

Working my way through this manhunt and I’ve done all the available DC bits so have to move onto NY. Any tips for clearing the missions solo, especially the Liberty Island one? That was an absolute ballache when I did it with two friends, I can’t imagine doing it alone.

SpaceCadetBob posted:Gonna throw out another thanks because these guys are now a piece of cake. I just did Keener solo for the manhunt thing. I used a repair drone for the final level (thanks thread) and packed an AR to shoot him with and a shotgun to deal with his drones. The repair drone was crucial for staying alive while you do the 3 generators, then I went back up to the parapet to peck away at him. It was tedious especially when he chased me into the little room with the ammo box but I only died twice so not really bad. I won’t be doing it again in a hurry though, it’s just not enjoyable. I’m using ND with a Coyote mask and gloves from whichever brand gives 10% AR damage.

You'll be missing on the bonuses from Contractor's/Fox's Prayer but talents are the biggest DPS boost you're going to get. I’ve gone with ND mask/holster/gloves/knees with a Fenris vest with obliterate and a Badger pack with vigilant. Seems to kick arse.

Inferior posted:God, the hunter bossfight in the Schaeffer mission was a real pain in the rear end. He healed from near nothing to full health and armor four times when I fought him. I just couldn't burn him down fast enough, and I was running full red. You'd be utterly screwed if you came in with a skill build. What’s the mission like in terms of location/length? I might get that far tonight, just got to do Event Centre and a few bounties.

Ugh I hate that last fight near the exploded roller coaster. They come at you from all directions. I much prefer a scrap where I can hide somewhere high up and rain death on helpless enemies.

How is crit damage calculated? I have almost 60% crit chance which I understand. If I have a weapon that deals 100k damage and I have 150% crit damage does that mean critical hits deal 150k damage? I’d like to think so but I’m not sure it’s that simple.

Normal. I used it with 4 EP things and Fenris gloves. Got shanked pretty badly immediately lol. I usually have 4 ND things with one a Fenris and one Clic as I always use an AR/shotty combo. In-sync on the AR, Trauma on chest, Vigilance on the backpack and drone/cluster seekers for help. I think trying ‘skill’ builds makes me too squishy and vulnerable. Maybe I need to change tactics and stand off a bit.

I do mean Negotiators Dilemma. It gives additional crit chance and damage I think. The backpack talent IS a damage talent, it gives 25% weapon damage. Trauma probably needs changing out I’ve probably left it on due to laziness. I’ve made sure my crit chance is almost 60%. Idk, with this kit i seem to be able to slaughter groups of enemies exiting spawn points and the in-sync works alongside the drone.

I’m happy to trade off skill damage for weapon damage in general. Even at low level the drone is good for distracting enemies so I can shoot them with my AR which has high crit chance and an additional 25% damage from the backpack talent and an additional 30% damage from perfect in-sync. The seekers are good at making enemies move out of cover, or damaging them while they are in cover and I can’t see them so they add more value to me than sticky bombs or turrets which have limited range. I save a slot for an armour attribute as a safety net but I’m going to leave the rest. One thing I am unsure of is what to change Trauma to on the chest. None of the alternatives look that exciting.
