I'm still kind of amazed they thought it was a good idea to make it a publicly visible number instead of a hidden thing.

No it doesn't.
Perfect for my reclaimer build.
I have a brutal + destructive + skilled G36. Can't buy that with 1004 Phoenix credits
Dlc as a whole is okay. You pay $15 for one incursion, 4 gear sets (only 2 of them are good) and a bunch of lame ass side missions bunched together as a new mode called the Underground.

Damn that's pretty good. I'm going for destructive in the last slot on that one that you can buy as well. I need it in the last slot as I can't unlock it otherwise because I don't have 2200 stamina or whatever you need to activate it lol.
Man these randoms need to learn how to reclaim.
If you are in PvE and use explosive bullets you need to reevaluate your life. Either use fire bullets for CC or the best option use that delicious Aqua. A nice glass of high quality water and the whole group deals 80% more damage. Super simple stuff.

I've probably gotten 50-75 229 G36's in the Underground, they drop like candy. Surely you could get one with better base damage and re-roll a talent to your liking by playing some Underground Ops.
Edit: Although, 10.4 base damage seems pretty good as is for that particular G36 at the vendor in the Underground.
I've never understood the love for explosive rounds (sans stagger and I guess play in the DZ with marksmans) as incendiary seems better in just about every regard as they stop enemies in their tracks and keeps them out of the fight for an amount of time. Two Reclaimers running water and incendiary turns Heroic Ops into a super easy peasy mode. Of course, with how repetitive and formulaic each encounter is in Heroic Ops they're simple to begin with.
OK for about two weeks-to-a-month if you are looking to gear up, however, during this time you'll most likely get everything, loot wise, you want/need and realize how repetitive and boring this supposed "random" mode is. In fact, I'd say after about 3-5 Heroic 2 Phase Ops runs you'll have seen all the mode has to offer from an environment standpoint while all the encounters are virtually the same against the same faction.
There is very little "randomness" to it and that is very disappointing for the longevity of it. In other words, I am bored to tears with it currently.
Hopefully No Man's Sky holds my attention next week as I am ready to step away from The Division for a bit with hopes for the next expansion or an update to the Underground (I don't see them changing/updating DLC significantly nor do I think they view it as a long-term game-mode).

I like teh explosions! boom boom boom! The stagger is fun.
The explosions are exactly why they are so annoying. Makes the game run worse and the sound is all fucked up. Shit's bad.
Ruthless_Barbarian
Member
The game runs like shit anyway. Lag spikes, frame drops, skills glitching out, sound glitching out, gun not firing, revives not working.....
My favorite is the new thing they introduced recently where the whole game freezes for half a second and then fast forwards to catch up. Looks so bad lol.
Oh and that fucking deadzone setting resetting every time you start he game. Jesus Christ on a stick.

That used to happen earlier as well, only not as frequently. Now it's like hitting pause on a video and fast forwarding a few seconds.

20% extra damage for each group member means the whole group deals 20% more damage.
Damage: 100 each = 400 team
With water: 120 each = 480 team
The advantages of explosive bullets are that they make enemies stagger, you can shoot cover or near it to knock out enemies, and they cause extra damage with Chain Reaction or Demolition Expert talents.

One boss while doing heroic UG dropped us 191 and 163 items...wtf?
MythicReclaimer

I've heard this happening from the random 3-man Cleaner squad that will spawn from time-to-time. Ran into one of these today (in my only run) and one of them was a named enemy to my surprise but after disposing of him he didn't drop anything. The only other time I saw a named enemy in this group it vanished right in front of me.
Are you sure it wasn't a Cleaner instead of an actual end of phase boss?
Ruthless_Barbarian
Member
It wasn't the end boss, it was one right in the middle of the critical strike operation.
My eyes lit up seeing 2 greens, both were sentry too. Then I saw 191 and dreams shattered
Everyone else got 163 high ends.

Then it must have been an enemy from the random Cleaner squad that spawns because there is only one boss per phase and that is always on the last wave (sometimes there's only one wave) at the end of the phase.

Had something similar happen tonight.
Some straight up BS in a "loot based game". Like when do just call it quits cause Massive ain't ever gonna get it?

The annoying part and I keep being brought back to the so called loot based game.
Spent a good 4-5 hours or so in UG on Heroic and you could count on 3 fingers the loot remotely close to our gear score. This just isn't the same in any other arpg loot game which I think they are attempting to relate to?
It's mind boggling, the game they've created but are just killing it with each weekly patch related to the loot.

I just hit 30, now what do I do? I have the season pass so I got the supply drop which dropped some nice gloves and raised my gear score to 74 but I literally have no clue what to do. No one will group with me due to my low level

Heroic UG just showed me how weak my Reclaimer build really is. I was feeling myself, but got curb stomped with the quickness. My problem is not having a high enough skill power, and no Final Measure to build up my damage mitigation. My Smart Cover seems like it's not even working half the time.

What platform are you on? If PS4 we have a psn group and can help out.

I was playing today (UG) and the game just crashed near the end of the mission... ffs... how can such a thing STILL HAPPEN? WTF?

Game crashing is the new feature introduced with patch 1.3, especially for PS4 players (to make up for the one month dlc delay).

Done.
Started the game up earlier and it loaded me in the terminal, I thought that's abit odd because I logged out in the Underground. Head down the steps to the lift and it said DLC not owned Go to PS store. Fuck you I'm level 19 UG. Couldn't even be arsed to sort it out, just closed the game. Maybe a reboot is all it needs but it's just another thing on top of everything else.

Yeah, too bad that they have chosen to do it this way instead of randomizing the encounters with different factions and enemy types/roles because as it is it becomes super boring after a while.

Well heroic is always LMB, right? No one does anything lower than heroic once you get to rank 20..
Yeah. I did hard like crazy to level up a friend as it is faster.
