Already a work around... Put HE gear on your alt, drop GS, back into the lower zone.

So, after reading here and elsewhere, I am still stuck at what I need to do to git gudder at gearing my Division agent. Been playing casually since release with friends who are also pretty clueless, and we know it. Rip me a new one if you like. I know i have no clue.
I would be very grateful for some pointers at what to do to get better stats and better results and where to look for improvements next. At this point hard is too easy and challenging missions are too hard and I don¨t really know where to focus my efforts. Gameplay is still fun just going around shooting, but I¨m kind of stuck. Been buying shit willy nilly.
Here´s what I have
Main gun: Vector 45 APC 10,2K damage, 25% crit, Deadly, Stable, Accurate
Body Armor: Tactical Vest (182) 730 armor, 710 firearms, 7% damage to elites, 11% health on kill, 22% increased kill xp (stupid but yeah), 7,5% pulse duration 1 mod slot with prototype firearms mod +158 firearms, +1392 skill power. Talent: Vigorous
Mask: Tactical mask (182) 409 armor, 683 stamina, 11% damage to elites, 12% blind/deaf res, 8,5 % seeker mine radius with advanced stamina mod +113, +587 health. Talent: Refreshed
Knee pads: Spec op Pads (182) 1084 armor, 655 firearms, +287 armor, 45% kill xp, 8% enemy armor damage, 106% bleed resistance, 9% puls crit with prototype firearms mod +148, +154 armor. Talent: Refreshed
Backpack: Rush backpack (163) 448 armor, 149 firearms, 485 stamina, 17% crit damage, 43% ammo capacity, 9% sticky, 7% first aid with prototype firearms mod 149. Talent: Resourceful
Gloves: Gunslinger gloves (182) 380 armor, 532 firearms, 10% damage to elites, 9% health on kill, 36% critical hit damage, 8% support station duration. Talent: Astute
Holster: Rush holster (163) 720 armor, 429 firearms, 502 stamina, 448 electronics, 338 armor, 8,5% puls crit hit damage
Abilities: Tactical scanner, Booster shot, Survivor link
Talents: Critical save, Combat medic, Steady hands, One is none

The only thing in my stash were alt sets hoarding space, not a huge deal.

Confirmed. I'm in the lower dz bracket. Secondary and sidearms are on my alt.
They Want a solo PvE farm zone without all the griefers.
No Agent left behind. Thank George Bush for that one

which is counterintuitive to what the DZ is supposed to be..... I just shake my head.
I think what you want to say is "They want to be the griefers"
Because that's what this is about

What would be ideal mods for the BM AK?
Well massive locked the best weapons behind a monster DZ grind after they sAid in PR that the best in slot weapons were not locked behind DZ rank. So I blame the game designers Masssive.

Anyone want to do the incursion and then some DZ on PC? My UPlay is Ragingbegal. Gear score 162.

Lol yeah it's a bit amusing because it seemed like in the beginning it was people trying to avoid the DZ death squads and whatnot where now it's mostly people trying to stomp on casuals from what I'm seeing.
Well it is a PvPvE mode designed to be about griefing.

Ultimate exploit is trashing every high GS weapon save for one primary and still getting into the lower bracket dz lol.

I don't kill people because I know how much it pisses me off when I just want to extract crap to break down (no such thing as good drops in there from my experience) but it's rare to see others helping people out which sucks since I would hope in real life everyone wouldn't insta-gib each other over garbage lol

That's part of the design but not the only point of the design.

Odd question but does anyone else have to constantly fix the deadzone setting? At 5 it drifts slightly so I put it to 10 but it always reverts when I log off /facepalm

Nice, Larae dropped Striker kneepads. Only 191 score though?

Glad we stayed up late for that challenge run. Would have ended up missing out again like the Lexington fun if we waited.

Well it turns out the Dark Zone isn't too fun when you're forced into the higher bracket with shitty gear. I die so bloody fast.

I mean, if people don't have the guts nor skills to be the griefers on their own high DZ brackets, then decided to go to the lower brackets so they can grief actual lower GS players, then there's something wrong with their mentality.
Yea it was worth it. I have no idea if I got anything good, but we beat it. Too bad for my buddy who didn't have a chance to solo it during the day.

They should have just sold those BPs for 1k pheonix credits in the BoO.

So I've been busy all day. How's the current state of the game?
They reserve the BoO for sales of the Classic M44 with fixed garbage rolls for about 1K PC.
Okay, I'm not going crazy that it will drift to the right since the 1.1 patch? It was driving me insane, I thought my controller was busted, but it doesn't matter in any other game.

I am fine with that, but there are no intermediate weapons in PvE to craft or get apart from random weapon drops in CM Incursion. Those can drop with useless talents so it's stupid anyway.
My reason is because high end PvP with these gear sets is broken as fuck and it's more fun at the lower bracket. Lots of people were doing it so a lot of fights were even and lasted awhile where right now with proper set bonuses, you can melt even if their SURVIVAL LINK is active.
This, basically.

High brackets aren't worth it because Massive is inept at Math.

Balanced, Brutal, Ferocious? Not sure.
Mine rolled with Balanced, Prepared and Sustained.

Not talents, weapon mods.
Also, why does this happen anybody know? Same pieces of gear:
Some bug with counting 4pc Striker I am guessing in DPS calculation?

Will the Gear Set blueprints rotate in the Special vendor at the BoO?
Do I buy the Mask and Knee Pads now or hope the restock has Gloves, Holster or Chest instead to replace Nomad.
I want to run 3 Striker with 3 Sentry. Currently have the Striker mask, backpack and kneepads.

finally got my character back and can play.
how hard is the regular hard version of falcon lost? also, are challenging missions now much easier due to the better gear, or did they raise the difficulty with the update?

So, the Incursion was patched so that if you damage the APC then waves start. You can still glitch through the wall though so could you technically run to the pit, get set up and start hitting the APC with sticky bombs from there and just kill whatever few mobs venture towards the pit. I'm sure there is a limit on the number of NPCs that spawn and several varieties just stay behind cover so could you technically stay in the pit the whole time ignoring 90% of the NPCs?
The turrets will probably shoot you every time you poke your head up but the damage would be minimal. Anything I'm missing?
Not sure this technique would really be necessary for HM but for CM it could be worth it if you can't handle the 1 shotting elites.
