I guess I do have about 1000 electronics that could be changed to firearms but then I will miss out on some talents

OMG, I just went on a fucking adventure in this game! I was running Warrengate Challenge Mode (for those sweet daily Phoenix credits) with 3 randoms and we kept dying but making slow progress and then 2 of them quit near the end after we were about 2 hours in, and 2 new guys showed up and helped us with proper tactics and crowd control and we beat it and it was so much fun, you guys! Like, seriously, for real, no joke, this is the best multiplayer experience ever!

What's a good baseline for trying CM? I'm at 120/60/10 and it felt like I was shooting blanks at them and was dying in one hit. Is this too low or do I have a serious case of the git guds?
Fun game but I really don't know what I'm grinding for anymore, just harder story missions? Plus once you've cleared the BoO stuff this beautifully crafted world turns into a series of pointless snowy corridors. I suppose there's the DZ.

Those numbers are fine for CM in general, but as someone else said, the DPS stat is extremely misleading. % damage to enemy armor, + damage to elites, crit chance, crit damage, etc all make a huge difference and are not accurately captured by the stupid DPS stat.

Doesn't damage to elites only affect named bosses?
I always see the trinity of numbers thrown around for CM requirements but we did it with much lower stats than those but had stacked things such as damage to elites, protection from elites, damage to enemy armor, high armor ratings, etc. Then just played really smart.
Those numbers are really hard to get to without any HE gear which I wouldn't expect anyone first going for Challenge mode to have (unless they did BK). Nobody in our group had more than one piece of HE gear (and 3 of them were the vector) .
Any yellow enemy. There are talents that actually say 11% increased damage to elites and named enemies.
Those "numbers" are good but you may be neglecting important stats that aren't accurately reflected as stated previously. We had guys at 50k health but their armor damage negation was near 60% on top of other perks.

Similar to myself. I've been running at 120/55/15 with smart cover and pulse. You should be able to take them down within a full clip.
What weapons you running?
Where's that?Quoting cause it was at the bottom of the page '-'

This is definitely true. I was in a MM group that killed Larae last night and I collected my loot and then adds spawned right on top of us and all of a sudden we wiped. And then we had to kill Larae again but when she died the second time she only drops regular credits and nothing else.
What is issue #2? I was going to do some of that today.
Why do you have the exp bar on?
It shows when in combat but I don't even notice it so meh

People have been avoiding crafting items. I crafted a backpack, but avoided the kneepads until I knew it was safe

So the purple drops seem to be much better now. Everything is much higher in armor ratings for myself.
Can't wait to get in the DZ. The other night we got ambushed by 3 sides and had to retreat as we were being flanked. Really fun but felt rate so hopefully the new spawn rate does more things like that.
I've been ok with mine. I got the Operator Pads and Spec-ops pack both from the blueprints, haven't had any problems.

So... How much xp do you lose now dying in DZ? Mid 40s, I used to lose 9k as a non-Rogue..
I actually thought that was the case this morning, but wasn't sure bc I didn't see it in the notes. I was fighting about 10 guys at once right outside the checkpoint. I almost died, but 2 guys came and helped me out. Once all the enemies were dead, I turned and killed both of my helpers.
No witnesses in the DZ.

What is the best way to farm electronic crafting material? If i run the level 4 alt system am I able to buy gear mods to deconstruct on my main?

They should let you fill it up and every time you do you get 10 phoenix credits

I can't confirm this but people have said that it's glitched and you lose nothing.

The issue is that the PvE space is a barren wasteland once you complete the story missions and all the side stuff.
So those that don't like the PvP aspect of the DZ are left with nothing but dailies to do.

I tried the new DZ this evening and killed a lot of players (in a group of 4)... died around 4 or 5 times (killed way more xD) and didnt lose even a level, only 1/3 of a level. New rules are awesome... let the carnage begin
That's where we were hanging too. So much fun. They were a mob and they haze me a bit until I followed and they let me in : )
I wouldn't even care if it was 1 - would be fine by me. But if there's really no point of EXP past 30, it shouldn't display.
Glad to hear that. Sounds like a couple hours should be able to get me from 48 to 51 and I can stop with the annoying dropping down a level and then grinding back.
Yeah, if the game had actual standard PvP like it should, the changes wouldn't have been as necessary, and the Dark Zone would've been a cool hybrid. I'd actually really like this because since DZ PvP battles happen so infrequently, I don't really have any strategy or skill to practice; I just shoot at the guy as fast as I can.

You don't need to complete all of them to max all 3 wings, so at least there's that.

I feel like the division tech requirement for HE items is just too damn much. It's farmed way too much. I never see the chests. I don't know how you can get any at all.....
Anywho, how are people modding their muzzles for the vector? I'm trying to decide of crit chance is worth a loss in stability.

Hit level 30 last night. How do I go about getting my first piece of HE gear? Do dailys or DZ? Currently just doing encounters to upgrade the BoO. Thanks
Matt Frost

Deconstruct everything from the DZ is a great way, also buy and dismantle the things you can put in gear slots, also works well. I need a level 4 alt to check that..

Bosses drop division tech too.

Thank you for this. I was super skeptical, seeing very low accuracy/stability ratings compared to my current purple gun, but I took the leap and crafted both. Even without activating all of the abilities on the Vector, it's still a complete beast. Holy hell!

For a few days, I was like, "Holy shit, why can I not get this one sliver of XP needed for level 31?!"
Then I remembered.
I think crit chance is locked at 60% maximum so if you're near that anyways, might as well go with stability.
