is it better to have 4 sentry/2 striker or 4 strikers/2 sentry? which one is more beneficial?
currently have them split 3 strikers/3 sentry
I run 4 striker, the striker Talent from 4 pieces absolutely rips especially with virtually no kick back from the Aug every shot is hitting so that 100% modifier is soon at max meaning 100% on top of what you hit for standard.
I run 2 sentry also. 3 would be nice for the 20% elite damage but afew of my rolls have elite damage in them as well as a weapon talent so that's why I went 4/2 in favour of the striker gear rather than a 3/3 gear set up. Most of the time my striker Talent is active so I'll be doing more damage than the 20% to elites offered from running a 3/3 combo.
Getting a bit fed up now... Getting crap DZ boss drops, spent about 10 hours in in two days killing upwards of 50+ bosses, 6/7 supply drops and countless chests and didn't get a single thing that was decent or an improvement. It's been two days of grinding DZ and all i've managed to do is get some extra PC's and get rank up from 49 to 53...
I just want to complete my sentry gear set
and get an M1A with balanced

Be sure to run both hard missions & the CM for that day + the Lexington farm others have mentioned, you should be at 800 within a few days. Plus, any DZ05/06 boss you kill will drop between 3-5 & 5-7 px credits respectively.
Do incursion instead?Getting a bit fed up now...

Takes too long, and often people aren't that great at doing it and will just run off and die meaning it's a wasted effort + I've done it this week meaning I would only get one gear set drop and the game seems to love giving me tactitions gear.

The incursion really is not fun, you just sit in that pit the whole time?
You don't have to sit in the pit. People just find it easier there.

Cheers.
I think where I've been going wrong is that I've been farming Lincoln tunnel instead!
How long are the items around for? 7 days from today?
see i ran that before but theres no indication when its active, the hit numbers now show up in a greyish white and the yellow crit hit is that it? unlike the sentry that has the blue icon to show its activated

It's alot more fun when you dont run it from the pit. We usually just go there for the missile barrage after planting and take care of the waves from the right side of the room. Plenty of stuff coming at you there to keep everyone moving.
Striker has a blue icon below your special skill where the explosives rounds icon is when in use/cooldown.
Try it at the shooting range and after afew shots the icon will appear.
You can see the blue increase as shots are hit and decrease if shots are missed.
saw that at the shooting range but during PVE, its not proc'n

Ah I see, problem is a lot more team working is needed compared to the CM's. Tried the incursion twice with randoms after smashing through CM's all day and didn't make it past wave 8!
Weird, on mine most of the time and a different colour number when hitting.

So broken at the moment, happened to me loads lately due to that delay.
Dude, group up with other people. Solo in DZ is asking for trouble.

They need to lower the cost of recalibrating set gear. Why does it cost 3x a normal HE? I knew I should have used that credit glitch while I could.
Took a shot and ran the incursion(hard) with randoms(mm) last night on Xbox and we finished in about 35-40 minutes, I've never actually done it legit before but seemed simple with teamwork in the pit. Everyone calling out where enemies are and I just laid down an overdose in the center for others to run through. Basically had 100% uptime on it.

As an FYI for those that bought he AUG.
Disable the One is None skill as it causes the Meticulous talent to not work.
Meticulous is way better for DZ clearing.

It displays. But I don't think it actually revives again.
Just shows the message but doesn't revive them anymore.

Question that I cant find answer for.
How often do the contaminated zone chests respawn in the dark zone? The chests that don't require a key, but have to be dz level 30.

I'm playing on XB1, my gearscore is 171, and my Gamertag is Onemanmiitiax2. I'd really like to get my first run of Falcon Lost done.
once an hour I believe

Doing the ladder glitch there sends you flying across the map. Not useful in any way but so fun.

I'm at 64.33% armor, 86k health, 12% exotic damage resilience. A guy with an AUG turned me into roadkill through defensive super in less than 2 seconds using explosive rounds.
Please realize that the reason you're getting flattened in the DZ isn't because every other agent is a GS 220 exploiter with God rolled weapons and perfect 240 armor.
Me and 3 friends went on a 106-2 tear across 5 manhunts(literally everyone except for the initial 2 or 3 for each Rogue timer were hunting us, we didn't go chase down people in DZ01) and after reset, we all farmed 300+ PXC for the AUG, which was a 30 to 50k increase for everyone. This weapon is literally available to everyone yet we were getting called out as cheaters all day.
As it turns out, sometimes you just get annihilated by people who PvP a lot more than you and are properly specced/built.
P.S. Turribulls(PSN) if you're on GAF, I want revenge. 1v1 me bro.
Edit: If you die repeatedly to a group then it's your own fault. After getting steamrolled, I test the waters maybe 1 more time. If I die again, those players will never see me again. It takes about 2 minutes to fast travel to another point or transfer. We killed one guy 18 times who kept coming after us 1v5 or 1v3.

That was awesome, love how all the team just show up out of nowhere
Side note: managed to complete incursion another two times and got my 4th sentry piece so I can rip people to pieces with the AUG now
want to striker pieces nowyup, that was the reason for this post:
i took the bullet early yesterday and advised all my friends to not spend their DZ credits on ilevel 32 weapon mods. now reports are coming through that max difference on the high end between ilevel 31 and ilevel 32 weapon mods is barely %2.5. what a joke.
also with gear mods, you will often roll ilevel 32 mods with stats lower than ilevel 31. what the fuck massive? i've never seen anything like this, decent game design should dictate that max ilevel 31 items should be the minimum roll for ilevel 32 items, even if the max possible roll wasn't that big/much of a jump, we would at least be able to call it "progression"
Nice. That's a lesson as to why you always run Pulse, especially when in a group and you have extra slots. We've been using damage pulse on our techies and Scrambler a lot to great effect. Scrambler is so so sooooooo good.

I've had the exact same experience many of times. The dudes that kill me will often also run to the nearest Dz entrance too and kill me again.Often clapping or starjumping on your dead body.
I know the point of the DZ is to steal other peoples shit, i have no problem with getting ganked while I'm running around with visible loot ( well, i do...but i understand why they do it), but this game really does have some massive dick heads playing that will fuck up your shit and rub your face in it.
I kinda wish there were talents that can effect your running speed . I'd focus all my talents on it so i could stay away from these groups.

Got a 182 gs SRS drop from Lexington challenging. I equipped it as a secondary and my primary dps increased to 248k.
What?

I'm a level 17 agent. Last night I played a few missions with some level 30 friends on hard difficulty. it consisted of me sniping from afar, getting knocked down, getting revived, rinse, repeat. They claimed that I should level up easily by playing these missions with them, but I've noticed that this is not the case. Am I doing something wrong?
