Think i might hop back in. Left around 1.2. I imagine it's pretty easy to get re-situated?

My friend was able to hop on being Gear Level 47 and just by doing a loop of killing the bosses in PvE he was 229. Granted it wasnt all gear he wanted but he was still able to "catch up" with us. The new content may seem a little jarring at first but the game has a super handy missions list when opening the world map that clearly list every single thing you can do and what the reward is.
Seriously this game got a MASSIVE upgrade. Enddddd joke.

I'm level...5 now. Yea, just got into this. Starting to see why this is so addictive...
I'm really enjoying 1.4, but sadly most of my friends aren't coming back. Kinda sucks playing these loot grinders solo or with just one guy; if any peeps on PC wanna play some time my username is the same as my gaf name: Anbokr.
Could use some amigos to roll around with here and there!

Oh man I'm absolutely in love with the Hungry Hog, it's just so damn fun. Managed to get a base DPS of ~250K on it. I think it's the most fun I've had with a weapon in the game so far! It's good for both PVE and PVP. I'm finally having some fun in PVP in this game. I only get downed if someone is using a shotgun and gets close enough to me. If I get some distance I can drop anyone pretty quickly, it feels great hahah
I really need to get hold of one of them. I've read it also drops in UG so may have afew runs on that soon.
We have a good little PVP shoot off when we were last in the DZ. What I did like is when a Rogue struggled to drop us, ran and I gave chase he made it easier for me as I've got the talent where damaged is increased further away from the target lol
Just uploaded this clip to Twitter so can't embed here but 70 seconds for alphabridge, sentry and firecrest without consuming a bullet!

Whaaaaat
What talent is that?? I want that in my Hog!
ps: this weekend I'll be able to play at around 11pm GMT, will you be on?
Prepared: Damage is increased by X% when more than 30 meters from the target.
Really handy and when people think they're away from you you're at your strongest.
Sounds good to me. I'll be on a little after that this evening though.

No no, I mean the one that is refilling the ammo?
Oh I see, Meticulous! 25% chance to refill magazine on kill. Seems alot more frequent than 1 in 4 though more like every other or acouple of kills! One of my favourites now, especially with that 210 mag size.

I'm an idiot. That's the talent I rerolled on my Hog. :|
I think I haven't touched the second one yet... will se what I can do with it.

If this is true, I will stick to Underground missions... Where did you read this?
I got a 229 LVOA-C last night, I am really enjoying it.

I believe that information is not correct, sadly.
Also, a good video/write up about the best weapons in the game right now: https://www.vg247.com/2016/11/03/the-division-here-are-the-top-five-dps-weapons-for-pve-right-now/
Luckily I have all of them! Hahah
Was browsing reddit earlier and afew users said they got theirs from UG.
Have you added some stability to the LVOA-C? I've got a reasonably decent one with good talents I'm currently using with my alt but the lift is pretty bad at the minute.

I have added stability to it, I know some have an issue with the lift but if you start at the mid chest level and put a slight downward tilt on the pad before you start firing it balances on the head perfectly. (For me anyway)

Convinced my brother and my friend to try the game again after like 3-4 months away, and we just farmed the bosses in PvE, and I think they got the bug again.
My friend has the flame turret with some firecrest gear pieces, and it's actually pretty cool. Happy with the changes, and was having fun again instead of being frustrated.

Will give it a try and bang some different mods on. I literally hold down on the aiming stick but it sill goes higher than the enemy head, suppose I should pulse the firing abit too but difficult when learning the brain again after I can manage the 210 clip of the M60 without letting off lol
Almost filled my extracted stash twice over farming DZ05/06 without a rogue in sight. Last 20 minutes turned into a manhunt PVP fest which my build is useless against being built around elites and armour damage so called it a day for some dinner. The loot drop is unreal, literally extracting and after clearing some roaming mobs and a landmark the 9 item backpack is almost full again and that's being selective leaving crap lying around.

Yeah that's what I've been through lately too. Not that I'm complaining... I'm loving this. After all, there's a lot of loot but only a handful are actually meaningful. It's great as it is.
BTW I'll be on in around 5h (I'm still stuck at work).

You're right, it's nice seeing the loot everywhere with a chance of a good drop etc but for example most backpacks I get are electronics without armour so pretty useless but good for credits!
That's cool. Will be around 11pm here so should be ready for another session then.

The SCAR-H ones are great. But you need to land headshots.
Yay
Oh I'm gonna try the other Hog I got, the one with Meticulous.
What do you want to do? DZ, HVT'S, Open world bosses etc? When I first get on I'll need 20 minutes or so as I want to setup my Banshee build for the DZ. Sick of losing XP when I die and want to get to 90 in case if anything decent comes up for sale in the vendor

Preferably, DZ. No prob about those 20 mins.
Edit: I haven't done any HVTs tbh. We could do it maybe? Idk
That just shows how 'easy' the game has become in those situations. No thought necessary.

No worries, I've got plenty of Intel to try some out.
The red bar enemies are mega weak so don't really need any thought, especially a build with health on kill and never needing to reload. In the harder content like incursions and challenging mode you'll soon be wiped taking that approach and won't last long at all in the DZ. Majority of the open world loot isn't great neither with poor stats/rolls but the incentive of a possible good item is there when you see the greens drop to keep playing.

Just had my first shitty moment since being back. Hopped on just now to check out the new blueprints and was excited to see a SASG Shotgun blueprint. Due to excitement I buy it immediately. Come to find out I was on tier 2, so I figured no big deal and switched to tier 4 knowing I would have to earn more phoenix credits but just wanted to see how much. Heres the thing...the blueprint is gone. I have no chance to even repurchase it at a higher level and as far as a I can tell the one I bought will be stuck at a lower level. Seriously sucks as I have not been able to find this shotgun.

Better to sell or scrap gear since starting over with 1.4?
Sell armor and weapons deconstruct weapon mods and gear mods.

Last night was cool, except for the randoms not helping us with the rogues
Man I'm getting lucky at this game. Last night I got an M249 with Destructive, Brutal and Ferocious on the third (free) talent. Coupled with the Hungry Hog and AB set this thing melts mobs, it's such a great feeling lol. I also managed to get 2 Nomad pieces so I'm getting 15% health on kill.
I decreased my sheer DPS numbers with the current build but it does way more damage now. 35% damage to enemy armor and 33% damage to elites.
Edit
I'm drowning in weapons. I got two good PP-19s, a SCAR-L, a very nice LVOA-C, MK20s, M249s, two Hungry Hogs, four M60s, Vectors, AUGs, and so on.

Yeah was good fun. I got acouple of minor improvements, mainly base armour on some gear so went up from under 60% mitigation to over 60%.
I've been running 2 nomad since dropping my specialised backpack and savage gloves, think nomad is probably the best 2 piece imo. I'm flooded with weapons but mainly to store weapon mods lol

I'm currently running a four piece Hunter's Faith and two piece Nomad build with a Scar H and a M60. I really wasn't expecting the game to turn into, well, mostly a shooter with less importance and focus on the RPG/Skill power elements. I mean it's fun to a point but I don't think it's The Division I want long-term.
The funny thing about the Scar H is most will tell you it's only effective if you don't spam the trigger, well at close-to-mid range it absolutely destroys if you do just that...spam away. Yes, I know MMR aren't intended for close range targets and that type of combat but it sure is effective with this particular weapon in this version of The Division.

Just got the game for PC two weeks ago finished the main story line and liked what I played got the season pass yesterday.
Not really sure what to do gear wise so I'm just collecting and not spending anything until I figure out how to get the best end game gear. I need better guns : (.
Looking for people to play in groups on PC for the harder stuff like challenges, dark zone, underground, infiltration etc etc .
If there is a GAF clan add me on uplay tkowalski311
lv 30 (204) atm
