Hit 30 last night! I play a little slower than most, current playtime at ~40 hours. Been running with friends and had three great (and surprisingly no rushing AI) loot extractions from DZ06 last night with tons of great purple gear.

The quest for High End starts tonight!

 

[deoee]

Since everyone is mostly playing nice in the DZ now, and rogues get hunted down like dogs by everyone on the server, my friend and I had to get a bit more creative in our efforts to introduce chaos.

We became very social. We would engage everyone we met in compliments and general chatter. Eventually someone bit. He thought we were nice, we liked his hat.

He was on the hook.

We invited him to our group, and played like normal. Extracted together once, then went to take out a boss and get some good loot.

Upon completion, and arriving at our 2nd extraction, my friend looked at me and gave the signal. I booted the player from our group, calmly informing him he had trusted the wrong guys. We gunned him down in cold blood and took the loot he was just bragging about.

He was audibly upset. We waited out our rogue status, then found shelter in a large group that was extracting elsewhere. The player we betrayed found us, he wanted revenge. He opened fire and we fought back. As we expected, every player nearby rained hell on this guy for going rogue and attacking us. He repeated this over and over, each time taunting us and telling us we're fucked. And each time he got killed by the crowd of players we hung out with.

You can try to become civil, Agents, but chaos will always find a way. Be careful in the Dark Zone my friends.

You sir deserve a medal o7

Should I rank up in the DZ at 29, or will it be easier at 30?

It's not so bad getting friends leveled up. I've gotten my buddy up to 15 now in a few hours. We're just doing the higher level missions.

Getting Delta errors consistently.

Is everyone here logged in/able to play?

I also need to know this. I'm approaching level 29. When I was level 14 I popped into the DZ, killed a rogue and extracted a few items and hey presto, I was level 10DZ.

What gear will drop at level 29 rather than 30 in the DZ?

 

[Stephen_drewz]

Accidentally got rid of my only long range scope. Derp.

"Ubisoft servers are currently unavailable and your game play experience may be affected. We apologize for any inconvenience caused."

 

[WITHE1982]

It shows as completed on my Collectibles screen, so hopefully its not an issue.

Doesn't seem common either, can't find anyone else reporting it so might not be patched.

I'm sure it wasn't on mine. I'll have to check when I get home.

 

[VE3TRO]

Range of the cpu shotguns is really annoying. >_>

 

[psychotron]

Ugh this Mission...
This guy killed me several times too...
5dog so?
Ended up killing him by luring him to the end of the ally and shoot him from behind the fence that blocks the way to the street.

Yupp, that's him! I tried that once or twice but he shoots me in the back before I can get to the street. I'll try again. Glad I'm not the only one.

Tried last nights Challenge mode and the servers rotated in kicking all 4 of us out one after another giving us Delta.

Funny, the weekly maintenance made the servers worse.

On the top of Epic/Yellow drops. My mate last night was in the DZ and got 3 Elite drops. I asked him what he was running and he said he had Scavenger 10%. I rerolled one of my gear items and got Scavenger 78%, yet I still have no luck? Does anyone know why this is?

[Opus Angelorum]

I'm level 7 and my level 30 friend joined me for a few missions.

To say it was boring is a understatement. I couldn't shoot anyone, headshot was an instant down.

Stopped after the second mission.

Your CC has higher range.

 

[Reckless Onion]

and then these shotguns we get are so utterly disappointing and straight garbage.

You need to get close but even with a good pump action purple roll you just get recked with the time and amount it takes.

Granted. Should totally be the OT2 though.

 

[commish]

Just a tad disappointed by the Medical Signature skill lasts 5 seconds and has a 10 minute cool down?

I can see times when it'd be useful, but geez.

What do you guys think is the best Signature Skill?

Yah I went there. all excited for a new marksman rifle. Get there and it's the same one I'm already using. Doh. didn't even realize.

And I finally make my Vector and it's the same DPS as my current purple assault rifle. Oh well. Love that gun.

 

[k1t4j]

Could someone tell me if the DZ gear at player level 30 requires DZ rank 30 or higher?

I'm only lv 14 but my DZ rank is 30 and I wanted to know if it's worth saving up my credits until I reach max level. Thanks

 

[Tovarisc]

Is the extended mag people were saying to buy just the blueprint? The high-end one with bonus magazine size and another random stat?

That one, it's good craft to have and do if not been lucky with drops.

You'll probably have better gear at 30.

At Lv.30 all DZ gear that can be bought with DZ Credits requires DZ Lv.30 however the High End Gear that you buy with Phoenix Credits and not DZ funds requires DZ Lv.50

You can buy purple lvl 30 gear at dz rank 30. Might be good when you just hit 30, but you will probably find better items pretty quickly.

Is there a good guide on how to gear up when you just hit 30?

• Daily hard modes, challenge is too hard for you as fresh 30
• Farm legendary gear in DZ
• When enough Phoenix Credits purchase blueprints in BoO, do crafts. Stuff like AK74, Vector and armors are solid options for everyone
• When stacked with legendary and high-end stuff from DZ + crafts start to hit up Challenge Mode for guaranteed high-end drops.

Not guide, but should give good idea about what to do.

Edit: Yeah, deconstruct everything you don't need for parts. In link WITHE1982 posted it says to craft Damascus, but I disagree with that as I made it and then found better sidearm within 1h after that.

Thanks a lot guys, very helpfull all that info.

Wish there was a way to try the handling of weapons before crafting/buying them.

Got a blueprint for what looks like a very good assault rifle, has a default mag size of 40, which would go to like 65 with a modded mag.

But its accuracy and stability is a pretty big downgrade from the ACR, and I have no idea just how much that'll actually show if I use it.

Will probably roll a useless Weapon Talent on it as well

Do sidearms become important at some point? I've barely had to use mine.

I've read enough of various forums to see that everyone and their mother thinks the Dark Zone should baby them and people should be nice. It will be my mission to gear up and just kill everything and everyone I see in the DZ from now on.

Watch your backs.

Than your gear is going to have to exclusively come from the advanced weapon vendor in the Electronics Wings or Challenge Mode because your DZ Lv is going to tank for anything you buy from the DZ safehouse to be usable.

Can you do anything with your spare Wing Supplies?

I think he just saw the opportunity. He was only rank 24-3 and he saw I was downed by the CPU so ran over and melee'd me rather than reviving. I did find him but couldn't be bothered to kill and have the hastle with being rogue.

 

[Stephen_drewz]

So I am Australian and matchmaking just put me with 3 russians for challenge mode...

I guess at some point they will add another wing or base.

Not bad, was 790 last night. Took about 1min to go through the whole que.

I think it's more of a we can only allow this many people in at a time to not explode the servers.

once i'll have a second lvl 30 char ;D

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

So is there a way to deal with these 'Runners'? Got hit with some straight up bullshit last night as a guy charged through all four of us taking hundreds of headshots only to one shot the lot of us in 2 shots. I'm trying to push through to get to the DZ but at this point is entirely a test of patience rather than any fun. I honestly just kinda wish it had a WoW method of pay to reach level 30.
