Yeah, went right through my health. Had around 3k~, must have been a really strong rifle.
Yea I'm in love with this game! Can't wait to play some more today with friends. Yesterday I played with ransoms and we grouped as an 8 man team and became manhunt hiding in the sewers an destroying everybody that came out way, than did the same with friends. This is only a piece of the full game, March needs to hurry up!
Also do we as beta testers get any cool cosmetics when the games comes out ?

Most of the fun of becoming rogue is not knowing whether your getting a pair of gloves or a 2900 dps Scar-H.
I've got a MIA Marksman rifle that does 3400 dps with headshots. So maybe they're hitting you from afar or something?
Edit: Double post, sorry guys.

I could potentially see a situation where a player could OHK another player if the victim has bad gear with a low health AND low armor and the shooter has a Purple or higher tiered Sniper Rifle with the right mods and buffs to marksman gun damage and they headshot you.
But that's a really specific set of circumstances. Even when I can OHK an NPC enemy with a headshot, I do considerably less HS damage to players.

I wish I had a gun like that, my best is about 2300 DPS
He probably bought one from a Dark Zone vendor.
I've got 3800 defence though

I've got an orange assault rifle with 4600 DPS with ~70% headshot bonus. Even that takes more than half a clip to kill lvl 8 players in darkzone.
Finally got matchmaking to work. I wanted to test that specifically.
Then finally figured out the group window proper.
Randoms in this game are some downright cordial bastards. The only real reason to solo is if you are diehard locked in on doing so. Granted this being beta there is a selective grouping going on right now, but I'm impressed with these early results..

The Dark Zone is the PvP area.
The missions take place outside of the Dark Zone.
(at least for now - maybe in the retail game you might have to venture in there)
Yeah but you cannot be hitting every headshots consistently with an Assault Rifle surely?
Anyway an assault rifle does far less actual damage than a DMR/Sniper as it has a lower damage rating.
The reason Assault rifles do a high DPS is down to the fact it fires quicker.
With a DMR you can down an enemy far quicker by unloading a few bullets in rapid succession.
Like for example: My Assault rifle has a damage rating of 360 and a DPS of 2900 and it takes 17 bullets to down an enemy.
My DMR has a 690 damage rating but only has a 2700 DPS rating but takes 4 bullets to take down an enemy.
Since its a semi auto I can squeeze off 4 bullets in less than 2 seconds or so, so naturally I can down enemies quicker and more efficiently than my AR.
There is supposed to be mission at launch. So hopefully it stops being just a tdm

How can I build up more health? Im at 2,8k and feel pretty weak ^^
It's hilarious when your rogue timer is at less than 10 seconds or so and you run into a non-hostile player and you can see them hesitate on whether to shoot or not because they might not be able to kill you before the timers up. There's alot of similar situations like that in the DZ that I found pretty cool.
level up, some gear gives you some hp. You are pretty squishy no matter what from my experience.
So mainly just fighting other players, NPCs, and finding loot? No missions?
Just depends on your gear, it can enhance either your damage done, health or tech.
And it has an armour rating.
You need to try and balance it yourself.
I'm not sure what the armour rating does tbh!
I couldn't find my total armour stat anywhere.

Anywhere you can find a really good shotgun?
All weapon/gear drops are random.
Rogue Agents have red icons and names.
Yes there are sniper rifles.

The Safe House in the DZ has an orange-quality Shotgun and Assault Rifle for ~3k DZ credits.
There's a purple-quality marksman rifle on DZ 8 vendor for like 1k DZ credits. I have mine pimped out with blue and purple mods, it hits on headshots for ~6k damage. I have never one-shotted someone, but I have killed some lower-level, undergeared people in two headshots.
I'm pretty much as geared as you can possibly get right now. I have all orange/purple weapons, with all blue/purple mods and my armor is all blue/purple as well. Short of some super-rare drops I haven't seen yet, I've gotten everything I can from all the vendors.
I have close to 5.5k DPS and a little over 4k HP.
Timers stop when taking dmg
You can get an orange shotgun from the Dark Zone safe room vendor. Have to have a good amount of DZ credits and DZ rank 12 though.

Yeah around level 5-6 I ended up switching from an assault rifle that took at least half a magazine to kill someone, to a marksman rifle that can 2 shot body shot (1 shot headshot). It's faster and more satisfying. I kept an SMG as my secondary for close quarters fights.
Lost my character with the maintenance so I'll have to save up for another DMR.
I'm not sure if this only happens when a "Manhunt" for a rogue agent is ongoing (triggers when a Rogue survives long enough to kill a ton of dudes), but I've seen the nameplates for rogue players show up on my HUD even when I'm a block and a half away from them. Friendly players you have to be looking at to see their names.

Folks ,how to reach the first place where the helicopter landed(start of the game) .I just cannot find it anymore.Is it in the back of the operation base?Do you go through it to there if yes?
edit:Nevermind,Camp Hudson ,found it.
edit:Nevermind,Camp Hudson ,found it.
It's called Hudson Camp, look for an orange icon that says 'Hub' in that area on the map then just fast travel there.
Yup im pretty much fully beta geared right now.
Still DZ keeps pulling me in. Love it!

I need to know how to get loot in the DZ. Like, how do I get it? Just kill people that have Yellow Packs on their backs? Or is there a place I can pick up loot?
Also, what's the easiest way to get DZ XP

After trying out the Xbox One version I'm definitely sticking with the PC version. Aside from the obvious PC version looks better it just didn't control that great, IMO. Aiming and shooting felt sluggish, I'm sure in part due to the lower framerate. I'm going to assume the PS4 version is the same.
Only thing I'm worried about is the potentially low player population on the PC version over the long run.

Find loot in crates in the DZ, usually near Landmarks or Contaminated Zones. If you want to be a dick you can kill other players, but good luck surviving on your own.
To extract loot, call a helicopter at an Extraction Zone and pray no assholes come and kill you before it arrives and you attach your loot to the rope they drop.
AI drops and players with yellow containers drop whatever they picked up when they die.

All of the NPCs in the zone have a chance to drop loot, the named NPCs always drop loot. They are also going to be your primary source of DZ XP to start.
Then killing Rogue agents is the best source of both DZ XP and DZ credits.
Now that i have played my fill of the beta, i kinda liked it. The whole shooting at people was okay, nothing great but the lighting was amazing and those snow storms where your vision would be nearly zero looked really good, also the way that the snow accumulated on your guy was pretty cool.

One area where division really comes through is the intuitive nature of its UI. The cover system guiding prompts are really smooth, the in world physical menu screens are even smoother (new area of the city presented on screen with things like recommended difficulty, the titles of main missions with matchmaking, difficulty toggle and rewards,etc). Even using things like aoe actually which will attach a line to those in the radius, really shows me that the devs are quite excellent at making the complex systems of the game intuitive to understand. The interfaces and lack of loading screens are some of the most impressive things I've seen this Gen, because they're using processing power in less obviously but equally vital ways.
Both. Only PvP in the DZ.

One thing ,just fix one thing ,enemy player's animations.
Is that 8 for the DZ level or 8 for your regular level?
