I picked this up a while ago but only got into it recently after buying the nyc dlc - I've been playing solo and trying to get to the proper point of progression to go there instead of using the skip.

Hit level 30 and finished the capitol mission - felt the 'ending' cutscenes was a complete mess and was kind of bewildering as to what was actually happening.
And then I'm this world tier system... Which just seems like a mess.
During that play session yesterday I picked a specialisation and got the giant sniper rifle, then I did the jefferson mission.
Tonight I boot the game up and it's telling me I need to go pick a specialisation, even though I already have the giant rifle, then I do the air and space museum mission. The capitol stronghold says I can't do that mission as I need to do the jefferson one before it will unlock, even though I did it last night.
Do I have to do all the missions leading up to and the stronghold in a single play session or something? It's so loving confusing how to progress.
The list of things to do next in the menu is all random poo poo and doesn't actually include any missions either.

Yeah, I figured that out, I just felt it was introduced in a super weird and sudden way. There's a cutscenes of fireworks and celebration, then some guys getting off a boat with robots then I'm back in the game and being told to pick a huge gun. It was very unsatisfying.
The user experience & menu systems supporting this section of the game is a bit of a mess, the to do list doesn't work and it seems I have to move the cursor over a stronghold and follow the lines back to know what I should do.

There are two Jefferson missions, Trade Center and Plaza. That’s gotten people before. But no you don’t need to do each stronghold and it’s missions like that..

Ahhhh, gently caress. I guess that must be it. Maybe the specialisation thing was a bug unrelated.


I know I have the skip to jump straight into the dlc, I will likley use it, I just pushed myself to get through the game properly, was super eager to get to nyc and the 'ending' was the equivalent of getting a stack of unexpected work dumped on your desk at 4:55 on a Friday.

Not sure how viable it is pre WT5/endgame but a drone/turret skill build melts those dogs and heavies since they both target the chest and just punch right through the armor.

Right from the moment it was available I played through the entire game solo with a turret/drone and prioritising skill level gear. Even rushing and being aggressive they still get north of half of all the kills per mission.
