I get that but it just seems like I'm getting all this loot for no real purpose.

The game uses the accuracy stat as a proxy for how often you actually headshot. Headshots have a very large built in modifier. If you're adding the mag to an "accurate" gun, the game assumes most shots are headshots so it'll make the DPS stat go up more.

Yeah they need more classy stuff. I understand it is winter, but we need to look smart. Rolling with soft leather jacket, white shirt, jeans and shoes just now.

Could be fun? I am gathering gear to try out a dps tech build. This one guy sticky bombed me for about 80% of my health.

Get killed by a single HE sticky grenade when at full 65k hp.

One example is if you get accuracy on your gear....it doesnt really give you more actual dps, but your dps numbers increase a lot as the system think you will hit with more bullets than normal....
I could probably get past 200k dps if I just focused on stats and not actual gameplay.
Wouldnt mean things would die faster tho

Pretty good breakdown of what each of those stats mean.
Accuracy, reduces the spread of the gun, creating a tighter circle. It's useful but I'd take stability over accuracy depending on the gun
Idk.. I ranked up pretty good going mostly solo in the DZ. I think I got into the teens before I ran with people.
With that said, I didn't run into many rogues at all.
I will say a great way to level up is to hang around extractions and help them extract whether you have anything or not.
Even if your gear is low you're still getting xp from the stronger people killing the baddies. And some decent things can drop. If not, you're still ranking up.
After you help I've noticed people will let you run with them. If not, so be it. Go to another extraction and keep up until you get stuff.

Yeah I've sacrificed the DPS counter for accuracy and stability mods on my AR/SMG. I find it easier when I don't have to worry as much about recoil/kick back.
Everyone is on edge, so even if you help right now the paranoia gets to people thinking you're tricking them till they let their guard down.
If they go rogue first
So,you can't fight against another party just for fun? Like a competition and nothing else,kinda weird they didn't include something like a battle arena.
I have 6 six friends who own the game and we wanted to do a 3 vs 3 fight without the consequences of going rogue or dropping our loot.

This should be some sort of DLC, a battle arena. Even if they want to tie it into "humane lore" they can say something loose like all bullets in the arena are rubber and it's for the best agents to test their skill? ¯\_(ツ
_/¯ Or just implement it for the only genuine reason, fun consenting PVP (solo/team PVP) without the need for realism lore fluff.Knowing Ubi, they'll keep expanded MP functionality for The Division 2...
to make yourself more powerful? it's an RPG
I don't think the tech skills do enough damage, so I would say no.
I understand that...but you'll gain more than you lose if you're able to help in a gunfight. They might kill you after, but you'll still rank.
With that said. My build is so weird. It's like everything I'm getting is tunneling me to a certain build. And it's a health build.
45kdps 80k health and like 10kskill.
My weapon drops have been dismal.

Maybe the true loot is friendship.
I guess it just needs more content, getting more powerful for no other reason than to just get more powerful in this game seems kind of pointless.
I kind of wish that there was an area with high level enemies that gave good loot, like the dark zone, but without the rogue agent aspect. I get it, PvP is awesome, the problem is that I have to deal with people who got all the best gear in the game on say 1 and now have nothing to do except run around in gank squads, halting the progress of players who are trying to get good loot. You can get some high end gear from challenge mode, but it's all lvl. 30. Plus, the same missions get tiresome when you do them for the 20th time. I just want an area with high level enemies, where you can explore and get rewarded for your endeavors and NOT get randomly killed by some random full group who comes up behind you as you're fighting a mob of NPC's.
A "light zone" would be awesome. As is, you're forced into PvP in order to get the top tier loot. I was afraid of this happening when they were previewing stuff, but then they said that gear you get in PvE is just as good as what you can get in the dark zone, and that is absolutely not true in the current game. Every single top tier weapon you can get in PvE is completely outclassed by some blueprint you can get at rank 50 in the dz. I hope that the incursions are worth it.
Rant over, give us some top tier PvE loot.

I only fooled around with it in DZ, but the ballistic shield scales linearly with Skill power. It's not too hard to get your shield to over 200k health. With the right talents, it makes you very tanky for solo DZ.
Make sure to grab the FW M1A from the Advanced Weapons vendor if you haven't.
Yeah ive also seen another equally detailed guide. If your playstyle is up close or burst shooting a lot then accuracy is kinda pointless. Basically your playstyle and thinking through what stats you need beats the dps stat shown in game.

We need a Blue Sentinels ring, to summon fellow rogue hunters to our aid when we get attacked.

Twice now I've joined a Hard mission for the daily but the mission wouldn't start. Ugh.

I've done every single mission in Chelsea but I still don't have any collectables showing up on my map even though I'm missing 11 of them. Any idea what a potential fix might be?
Also, do I need to do the extra Tech, Security, and Medical events dotted around my map? I've maxed out my base of operations but still have three or four of them sitting at the upper right hand of my map (none in Chelsea, nothin gin Chelsea actually)

Could technically one shot people with stickies...
Hang out at Extraction Zones... wait for them to extract... kill everyone with one sticky and extract their loot... ez loot
You could be THAT guy
So the increased drop rates are definitely awesome. Got 2 exotics to drop in one play session (shame the mask was a huge letdown, comparable stats to my current)
More rogues too. It's not rogue city yet, but if I could make a comparisons its pretty close to the amount of rogues I saw in the beta. Not only that but me and gran ran into rogue groups in the high north DZ which was a treat.
Speaking of high north DZ.... DZ Exp needs to be adjusted hard.
I get like 190 xp for killing a lvl 30 enemy and 200 for killing a lvl 32? They need to significantly up the value for killing 32 elites.
Other than that, solid update to the DZ. My main issues with it it now are fundamental loot issues I want them to address (mainly all the best gear being acquired through farming something and buying/crafting)

Then I guess my suggestion would be don't go into the dark zone until you have the gear.
Yeah it must suck for new players or players who didn't farm BK for 200 hours to now to have all these 200k DPS gank squads running around the DZ when the DZ is now the main way to get the best in slot gear.

Feel like the only best in slot gear that comes from dz vendor is chest and gloves, rest of the BP is at the BOO PC vendor.
I got hit with the bug Friday/Saturday Braxxy. Essentially its an error server side where my maximum # of inventory slots don't match what I have clientside after crafting and equiping a HE backpack and other gear. Ended up logging in Saturday to a whole bunch of missing gear and guns and when i try to relog, I got stuck in an infinite Connecting screen. Have been unable to play since Saturday.
Massive says they're looking into it but there is no word when they can fix the bug and my account.

Finally off work. So they patched The Patch?!
What about PvE? So I take it most people ignore Tech and focus on health and firepower then. Surely the game is more balanced than this?

I feel like those blueprints are only for people that can put in 8 hours a day. I played in the DZ for the last 3 hours and I only have 4 legendary division techs. That's enough for 1 craft which will probably have shit rolls anyway.
Tech is very viable especially for PvE. Its a group build.
Army of Two came up during our daily runs yesterday. I love my bling bling pakhan because it reminds me of AoT. Where's my diamond covered weapons so I can pull aggro?
Pretty good gear guide posted on the official forums:

Pretty sure it directly effects damage. But havent tested it myself.
