So who else thinks shotguns and Striker's will be as hilariously powerful as it was in Div1.

There's a Tactical Mk16 in the clan shop that's really good. Max assault rifle damage attribute so worth it just to burn, plus the stats are pretty decent. Not top tier gear but really solid for your post lvl 40 leveling needs.

There are some secret/hidden missions that have a blue/purple marker that I couldnt access until i bought the season pass.


You go to the table and click on library and assault rifles, choose to pull whatever ability like that +15% dmg off, and then you can put that core attribute onto any rifle.

So even if you have a crap item with a good talent or whatever, just rip it and add it to your good item.
only 1 transfer per item, but if you put a lower +% on it before, you can upgrade as you get better items.

I have a nice backpack with a perfect talent on it that gives me 100% armor when armor is depleted every 55s that I have upgraded its core attribute twice as I come across better items to rip from.

Why does the Ammo Hoarders directive apply to shotguns with magazine tubes.

Level up, optimize your build, and the game has only been out for a week you're not supposed to beat Keener yet.

Actual answer: He always spawns in the same spot. Drop a bleed hive on the area, throw a grenade in advance, unload with your grenade launcher/other skill/etc. Burst him down and he'll go invulnerable to heal then run away and you win.

Noirex posted:

Shock trap then turret, stinger hive, grenades...whatever you can unload on his spawn point. Don't let him even move.

I really loving miss the Patience talent, guys. I never made a build without it.

They gotta nerf NPC shotguns, or buff player shotguns.

They loving suck to get shot with, but seem to do next to nothing on challenge and up.

According to the junk that pops up in my youtube feed a rifle and mmr nerf is incoming according to the last sotg. Nerf now, maybe consider adjusting why people need this bullshit later.

This expansion has made me really dislike the black tusk faction in general. They just seem straight up busted compared to any of the other factions.

That green ring healing box they throw down.. whoever thought that was a good gameplay change is hopefully gone now.

I'm not sure why they seem so dead set on making the enemies spongy to the point that for it to not feel like poo poo you have to run full glass cannon. Who loving cares if the game is easier if it encourages more build variety?

eclipse is a little dicey solo, but scorpio and hunter's fury is not. You do lose out on burning the world, alas. 4pc HF, Scorpio, probably Memento since solo 100% of the kills will generate tokens, then an Intimidate chest from Ceska or Grupo Sombra for that last little bit of oomph. 870 instead of Scorpio also fine, anything you want in the second slot.

what i mean by dicey is if you get pressed up close with eclipse you're kinda squishy and kinda stuck but if you get pressed up close with HF they're just coming into your preferred range

e: well actually HF combos with Firewall really well so I guess you'd still have fire available if you need it

tweet my meat posted:

Hunters Fury is so good with the mop. I recommend throwing preservation on the mop if you don't need to reroll damage, you'll basically heal half your armor every kill. Toss in adrenaline rush/intimidate or a memento and you're basically a tank build with good damage.

Screama posted:

This has been said before, but an all red HF shotgun set is the fastest way to clear content. You can do CP4s in 2 minutes start to finish if you stand directly in front of spawn closets and just pump lead into anything that appears.
Timed missions become a joke. However you can get downed quickly if you get surrounded, which happens more easily than with other builds because you have to be so close. Chasing down the last enemy for 200m is also a hassle.

Welp, finally got around to recalibrating a bunch of poo poo, now that I have godrolls for 'em. So, near-perfect Vile, one godroll skill damage Empress pack with Creeping Death, remainder is Eclipse with max Status Effect, all the mods are skill haste. Firewall, about 60-ish points in (when i started), running burny chem and Firewall shield.

Challenging Grand Washington - Hyenas come out WHOOSH one shot chem.



Repeat for every non-heavy-elite, except the dudes across the courtyard with the minigun. (Guess they were out of Eclipse/CD range or something.) Guns were Scorpio (SCORPIO IS READY!) and Pyromaniac.

Repeated twice more (grinding burn victims for the league), went to the Arena and did the same (except for the parking garage, back to all-red/turret-drone/Pesti-Pyro for that), ate up that NW White House CP, torched Jefferson Trade (Pesti-build for Coyote), and deleted a couple convoys and bounties. Even had rogues show up at the section just before the Arena parking garage, got killed but they got Eclipsed in the process so I respawned to free loot.

I'd done mostly Status Eclipse before, but never maxed-out. Flamer good on everything that wasn't heavy.

Now I kinda want to run a all-max-haste with all-haste-mods Magic Hate Ball build. Or just go all-skill-damage gear'n'mods, throw on Capacitor and see how disgusting my turret/drone set can be. And switch to Technician since that's maxed-out.

Almost forgot: watch is max skill damage/CHD/stability/armor, and near-max haste/CHC/ammo capacity/health.

Next build goal will be maxed Hunter's Laptop, but I'll need to optimize the non-maxed stats, of course.

Psion posted:

Gonna suggest you just go all-in on status effect/haste for Eclipse, and very specifically do not take armor regen. You just don't have the rolls to spare.

kiba, our resident armor regen enthusiast, and I had a conversation about this a while ago. They used 4 rolls on their high-end DPS build which is just under 20k/sec total regen and I've used a drone which is about 21k/sec and that's what I'd consider the floor. eclipse does not have 4 rolls worth giving over to an underperforming stat since you're already down 4 rolls over a high-end setup, so it's the equivalent of losing 8 towards your build's main purpose and you absolutely don't have a skill slot to give up. You will die more due to underperforming status effect not killing enemies rapidly than you will survive due to armor regen values that are like one bullet worth of incoming fire.

i am curious if capacitor will provide a reasonable level of gun power the build normally doesn't have, though that means giving up sweet dreams elbow punching for guaranteed status spreading. May be worth trying if someone catches you up close with skills on cooldown.


armor kits exist; and if they're all foamed and on fire you can sit in cover and armor up at your leisure anyway

Psion posted:

you are correct

the EMP pulse thing requires you to get close and stay in full cover and, importantly, not be peeking out when it pulses. Stay in the circle to hack it into a vulnerable state, then you shoot it to destroy it for good. One of the season pass bosses introduced this mechanic and summit reuses it.

Psion posted:

are you looking at recalibration instead of optimizing? they're at the same table.

skaianDestiny posted:

Yes it does. You get a damage bonus for every enemy in front of your shield (10% maxed out with mods).

Hulk Krogan posted:

The flamethrower is also pretty decent emergency CC, which is more than you can really say for most of the other specialization weapons.

Psion posted:

Yes, but it's more than the shield. Firewall itself gives you the unique 10% CHD grip, better class mods for the shield, health on kill, burn enemies on armor break, damage amp for your teammates to enemies close to you, and the flamethrower is basically a perfect third weapon for HF, especially since you can use it with the shield. It's a lot of small things that are all perfectly suited for HF's role of close range.

now are all these literally necessary - no. are they stacking the deck in your favor as you go up the difficulty level/group scaling ladder, yes. Up to you how far you go up that ladder.

50 nades is simple just turn it down to hard or lower, equip concs, and throw on a mad bomber chest (to prime nades) and an Acosta bag (to get refunded nades). Then find 50 enemies!

I really want a division game based solely around assisting civilians in surviving and rebuilding. No infinite ammo, resources and trinkets will be meaningful, no bullet sponging. Weight would be an issue and throw in permadeath for the hell of it
