The guy had stolen it from a group of 4 who were extracting. He couldn't get out with it, so instead of letting them have it, he destroyed it himself. Epic.

This makes it even more epic!! So the other dudes were after the weapon and were left with nothing! haha damn this is legendary status!

I wish there was a way to turn off Proximity chat, like in real life if i was talking to my people on the radio, unless you were really close you wouldnt hear me. Now i have to get a program outside the game for when we want to pvp.

OK - Why the flip does pressing your skill button again destroy the currently active skill?

And how is this useful in any way? I've sometimes had my character take a second or two to pull our a smart cover/health station due to lag and then press the button again because I assume the game didn't register the input. Only, by doing so, I destroy the health station/smart cover I just wanted to use.

WHY WOULD I EVER WANT TO DO THIS? Even if I'm replacing an existing one, it should absolutely not destroy the current deployable if I my CD isn't reset. Awful design.

Some have mods like the turret will explode and damage enemies. And in the case when your turret gets hacked you can still blow it up instead of trying to shoot it.

because:

1) manually exploding your turret will give it a strong AOE damage explosion that bleeds.
2) manually exploding your support station with the master mod active will instantly heal anyone in it's range AND overheal them as well
3) you can detonate your mobile cover if you have the explosive cover mod equipped
4) you can stop your seeker mine from going for a target you do not want it to attack

probably some other stuff as well
i use the support station manual detonation constantly. before it runs out, i give everyone an overheal with it.
seems someone hasn't read his tooltips :p

If you hold the button, then you cancel the skill you have already deployed. And its not useless.

blowing up the Master version of the health station grants an instant health boost. With certain gear talents it can also overheal

So yes, it can be useful

It speeds up the cooldown if all the enemies in an area are dead and your turret is useless

If you deployed it in a bad spot or enemies are dead, couldn't you destroy it and have it cool down quicker as opposed to waiting for the time that its up to expire before the cool down starts again?

Perhaps having you hold it for a few seconds instead of a simple press would be better

At level 14, how would I know I have solid gear combined with competition.
Click to expand...

Not much data on this, most people seem to have pushed through to 30 before doing much DZ stuff.

At level 13 (PvE) my stats were:

PrimaryDPS/Health/Skill Power = 6,413 / 7,814 / 1,070

And this seemed OK for the AI enemies in DZ01, pretty much one clipping the purples. I didn't have much trouble one on one with most agents but it's hard to ever be entirely sure.

I could have upped the DPS a little (to about 7,400) but the trade off was health and I generally find tank type buids to be more viable for my way of playing in PvP.

Primary gun was a lightweight M4 and secondary was a SCAR-L (slightly less DPS but only by a couple of hundred). Bit of a pain running two AR due to shared ammo but I never found an SMG at that level that hit as hard as either of those so just dealt with it.

For reference my now level 19 (just) is running at 13,311 / 18,420 / 2,420:

So I am at level 12 with most of the side missions done, but the next couple of missions require leveling up.. If I run out of side missions am I supposed to do some of these missions again to level up??

Because canceling it early makes it recharge faster to be used again, I think. I cancel my support station and smart cover early all the time. I really like that you can do that on the fly.

Tomorrow.

I think they'll fix some bugs, lower the penalty for going rogue, and maybe add an incentive for going rogue - maybe something like 15 PXC for surviving the timer, 30 for surviving a manhunt.

if they do that, then there will never be a non rogue in the game and the dark zone will be DayZ levels of dumb and has no reason to ever go in without a group of 3 people you can trust

It's really crazy how much XP you lose. I am scared to go rogue just for that reason. Yesterday someone walked into my line of fire and got me flagged, perhaps by accident, but I freaked out, killed him and his buddy in about 3 seconds, then hid in a building until my timer was out, scared that I was going to lose thousands of XP. It's so dumb. And when I survived, I got something like 700 credits. Seriously? 700 credits?

Does anyone know what affects Dark Zone XP? It's a stat, but I can't seem to find any gear that can roll it or anything.

The DZ past 40 grind is terrible - just want to get to 50 and buy some blueprints.

I'm good with the changes to DZ. Nothing too drastic, and the increased rewards for killing level 31 and level 32 mobs is welcome (right now, no reason to kill anything but level 30s). Happy with the decrease in lost XP, but not sure how much that loss is. Hopefully half.
