Clear Sky is a much more enjoyable affair than Falcon's Lost (an absolute slog) and can be completed in 7-8 minutes on Hard when with the right group. Great for farming weapons and you'll occasionally get a nice GS piece.

Hey DivGAF, quick question. I have a GS of 211 and have beaten hard mode for both FL and CS, but always been a little intimidated to try challenge mode. Would I be ale to do it at 211? The only upgrades I can get for GS are now 240, but I'm hesitant to even try on for groups on LFG sites.

GS doesn't mean anything hahah. If you have decent DPS/Toughness/Skill (>200k/>350/>20k for any), with a good group you should be able to clear it out.

GS is no indication of how "strong" your character is.
Do note that these example stats: ">200k/>350/>20k" are for a DPS build,
I usually run CM incursions with my 100k DPS tanktician build.
more stuff from the people who played with devs.

posted on the ubi forums and is not deleted so I assume its real.
*Stash size will be increased to 70
*You can Re-roll your weapon talents and will work in a similar process to that of gear recalibration
*You'll be able to convert 3 gold div tech into any gold Material.
*Gear sets will be 268 with guns at 229 meaning the highest gear score will be 255.
*The new gear sets are guaranteed to drop in darkzone bracket 230+ (both in supply crates and the dz) but only a chance of them dropping in dz brackets 201-228.
*Level 35 enemies are confirmed in the higher dz's but the flamers wont deal more damage but have more toughness.
*Gear and Weapon mods will remain at level 32 max
*Gear sets will come with a guaranteed mod slot now with Chest pieces always dropping with 2 mod slots. This rule does not apply to gloves though
*The increase in the Firearms, Stamina and Electronics stat for the new gear sets sits at around about 12% increase so this means it should increase to 759 roughly, currently it sits at 678.
*A new incursion will be dropping called Dragons Nest
*Assault rifle buffs in pvp will be looked into in the future patches
*The Tanktician build will be looked into in the future patches
the most important info here is the ability to convert gold d tech to crafting mats at a 3:1 ratio and gear set pieces (i assume from 191-268) will always come with a mod slot and chest pieces having 2 mod slots.
anyways since the special report is tomorrow I say we can just wait for info/patch notes.

I meant any one of those, hahah. Either 200k+ DPS, or 350k+ toughness or 20k+ for skill.
Oh man great news. Div Tech will not be (almost) useless anymore.
Hey guys, as far as I understand, tactician's backpack best chance of drop is from Falcon, is that correct ?
Is 115/350/25 good enough for hard ? Currently running 2 piece tactician and 2 piece fm (+ he chest and striker backpack).
Was going for 3 piece strikers but since it's going to be nerfed...
Also, are there 204/214/240 (or whatever it was) high end chests available ? Currently got a 181 or 183 (IIRC) vigourous chest piece, but hoping for higher.

Yes, your stats are fine for FL, you can run HM easily and CM with a decent group.
HE non gear-set armor max GS is 204.
Thanks.
Forgot about that, I've got loads of 240 items that are shit but just horde lol
Time to sell them off. I struggle in my current dz bracket (06) if I'm not in a group, let alone going up another bracket.

Hmmm, the post on Ubi forums has been edited to say -
"Sorry I think I may have misinformed you guys... please wait for the full patch notes being released very soon. Happy darkzoning"

Anyone can be 228 GS without doing a single incursion or stepping foot in the DZ.
231+ will simply require 1 229 GS weapon or 1 268 gear set.
[(240 x 6) + 229 ] / 7 = 238

I'm just bummed that they 'will look into tanktician builds in the future'. I mean... we will continue finding idiots with sticky bombs in every corner. Sigh

All players must now be present in the final Circle in Clear Sky before you can interact with the laptop and fuses.
NPCs located in the final Circle in Clear Sky will instantly respawn once killed until players enter the area.
Really? Hey guys this laptop I'm hacking won't work cause the rest of the team is too far.

Okay trailer, top YouTube comment is dope.
So, the cleaners in Dragon's nest have remote controlled cars. That looks interesting - probably chase us out of cover and explode on impact.
That's to block the cheese where players could shoot npc's from outside the incursion while one player planted the fuses. Just fix mobile cover ffs.

1.3 Special Report in 10 minutes
https://www.twitch.tv/thedivisiongame
What does this mean? There are no 240 gear sets or blue prints for sale from any vendor. Unless they mean they'll be adding them after the patch?
Finally, they fix this.
RIP Cheese. New one will find a way
Fucking called it! Knew this was going to happen.
Wow, the Sentry/Striker nerf is brutal. RIP.

Damn. The nerf in Sentry's makes it useless, wtf? You don't need a gearset item to get 10% dmg to elites for example. Wow.

Alpha ridge 4 piece is garbage - wtf is this, have to equip 2 of the same weapon types to activate...lmao
Basically it means you can have 6 active talents but need 2 of the same type of weapon.
Dead eye 4 piece is very interesting, nobody scopes with marksman rifles anyway.
Wow that Showstopper. Exclusive from heroic Dragon's Nest I assume.
PP-19 has 100+ bullets in the mag. Fuck.
100 phoenix creds to re-calibrate a weapon talent. 149 PC for 2nd re-calibration, 201 PC for 3rd. Capped at 6 times.
Weapon kits can be crafted with any HE materials.
No more forced slow walk into the BoO, lol.

Some pretty decent changes although I won't lie, I'm gutted about the sentry/striker nerf. Spent ages perfecting that loadout where I can have a 4/2 of each or a 3/3 setup depending on what our group is running.
May see how a 5 piece sentry performs with a set of savage gloves. Still abit pissed at it though

Hard underground rewards are 182 weapons and 214 gear sets.
Assuming CM = 204 and 240, Heroic = 229 and 268 GS.
Basically, just farm Heroic.
Every UG level up grants a sealed cache that will drop weapons or gear according to your GS.
Savage is pretty useless with pulse crit chance cap, vigorous chest is a better option.

Got one shot on hard mode
Dragons's nest looks like a lot of fun. HM bosses dropped 182 GS items
Looks like HM CS and FL will also be nerfed to 182 weapons. 204 for CM and 229 for Heroic :/

HM is super easy plus they had Heroic level gear.
Cause you can do underground as soon as you hit lvl 30. Most of us here will do hard to get used to the new stuff then challenge/heroic for better gear.

Gift me the season pass Cuco
That was without any directives. I assume and hope adding and stacking directives will improve the GS of the rewards on each difficulty.

You can farm underground if you get the DLC since the caches are scaled to your GS.
But for what purpose. The endgame is always PvP and the current state of PvP in this game fucking sucks.
Until a proper PvP mode is implemented its always gonna suck.
Having a classless but classes skill system also fucked the game over.
Ruthless_Barbarian

I know, but they have not yet mentioned which sets will drop from UG, plus DZ farming is a lot faster (in a group) and you get way more loot (given you can successfully extract it).
Nah, pvp in a loot game can never be the endgame. DZ pvp will likely remain in limbo until the final expansion comes out.

From Quentin's reaction to the "Tanktaction" comment, seems like they want to see if the higher level items will help balance the meta out. If the problem is still happening, pretty safe to say 1.4 is nerfing them to the ground.
They need to focus in on making me the PVP fun, since It's ultimately the real "end game" for most.

I maybe short of the cap if I use a smg with crit damage rather than crit chance.
Still, I suppose I could start a new build completely and go for something else to freshen things up abit.
