Is there any HE Holster or HE holster blueprint that can give boost to all three attributes?

Didn't the patch notes mention that dark zone loot from mobs was raised from blue to purples? dunno if that means which DZ you need to be in or not.
You are guaranteed one lvl. 30 yellow from challenge mode, so I think it's worth running. If you've been running he hard dailies, check to see if you have enough Phoenix credits to buy some HE blueprints in the BoO. They're pretty much top tier loot ATM. I find that the Lincoln tunnel, despite being longer than Lexington, is much easier. You have a lot more space to move and flank, and there are no shotgunners! You just need 1 or 2 people watching the snipers. Those are the ones that will catch you by surprise if you're not careful.

I got one from beating a CM. It's got a mod slot, too.
They do exist.
Too bad the rest of my gear is mostly shit.

It's still a matter of weapons and Gear, enemies, ammo types, enemy modifiers and abilties falling into the "realistic" or feasible variations for its modern day settings. Consider Mass Effect 3's multiplayer and how interesting and creative the weapons were or a fantasy RPG or MMO. How do you create as interesting a spread of gear and weapons without going outside the range of reality. I really wish this game has been based in the future a bit. Like a cyberpunk type game.
Like you said they took it outside the range of reality to a degree already so why did they even bothered making this a Tom Clancy game in the first place. My personal opinion is that Massive hamstrung themselves with the decision of the setting.
You weren't ever supposed to be able to teleport in. You can fast travel to the checkpoints from outside the DZ and then go in. It's very handy. You have to rediscover them first, which isn't very difficult.

Yup, pretty upsetting since I really want to collect everything, but I don't want to bother until that is fixed.
I would rather be where I am now (50%) than be at 99% waiting for a patch that might never come. Don't care for the clothing, just want the trophies.
Just go to free roam and re-do / re collect them

Ah ok. Perhaps it was just the mission I tried last night that wasn't a great example of what it can be like, since the Russian Consulate was borderline impossible at times, namely the circular room of endless shotguns with nothing but narrow hallways to back up into.

Game is starting to run its course for me, and that's bumming me out. I like the idea of and loved the DZ so far, but the last two nights I've felt like I saw exactly what my loop was gonna be for the next several weeks and I might just want to cut out now.
Had a lot of fun from launch to here though. I think I'll be back for the expansions.

You back up into the previous area, have one player bait them out if needed, and team shoot them when they charge.

Indeed. I ran past an echo in a mostly cleared zone last night and thought "Odd, I haven't picked up that Echo yet". So I ran for a minute to get to the site only to realise it was the bugged one.
Doh.
As others have posted - it may still count for your completion if you have collected them all.

I was wondering why I always seemed a level-and-a-half below where I needed to be every time I came upon a new mission...even though I had been keeping up fairly well with side missions and whatnot. Turned out I was supposed to be returning to safe houses after a few of those side missions and I had skipped a section of map entirely. Yay XP!

ah checkpoint isnt bad, but they said you were able to fast travel to teh safe houses. Although that is the same as a checkpoint really so not that big a deal.

I really wish i knew my ACTUAL DPS when comparing weapons. Have a vector 146k but i am at 60% Crit chance + I stacked crit damage. I would like to know if this is better than a 180k or so vector if I didnt stack crit damage and chance.

I'm with you too man. I'll be back for new content and occasionally to hit the vendors and for a daily or two... but i'm burned out overall. Not really any end game currently until the release incursions.

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
Go to the shooting range and fire a few rounds with each gun to find out?
I only answered for the scope and mag since I know those off hand. I think I have a good purple stabilizer on my vector atm, but the DZ06 vendor might sell one for smgs. Maybe someone here can verify since I'm stuck at work.
So... DZ tonight? I might be home earlier since my 1 boss is out of the office and I can get my work done in peace.

I prefer the HE AK-47, I feel like with my mods I can control it better than the Vector thus dealing more damage over time.

Yes perhaps I shall try this.

Yeah it can get a bit confusing because bloating numbers doesn't mean much for some weapon types.
For smgs you want stability, crit chance and crit damage. Accuracy just reduces the spread, but SMGS aren't range weapons so it's useless because the damage falloff is pretty big. You'd need high optimal range for accuracy to be an actual factor, but that's a waste.
It'd be hard to compare 146k vs 180k without knowing what mods are being used and what stats are on each gun, etc. You'd be best to go to the shooting range and see for yourself. 👍

Oh 20 named bosses in the DZ. Didn't realize many were that close to each other. That map will be handy for tonight.
Yea man. Did you do anything with the others last night?

It clearly would be better. It wouldn't even be close. You can still look at damage per shot and rate of fire to get a good sense between the weapons. I imagine someone will create a calculator that factors in just damage dealing stats.
I also prefer the AK. 60 shot magazines are a lot better than 40! And with the right perks/mods, AK is just as accurate and has longer range.

Anyone want to take my into the Dark Zone for the first time tonight on PS4?
I am Level 30 with 150/65/20 as my current setup and sitting on 1000 PC.
I went in for 20 minutes and got to Rank 7 but it seems given my current gear and such the only good place to grind are the last two zones that are really tough.

I thought the police, firefighter, and medic outfits were tied to the agent origins promo?
Pretty much ditched my SMGs in PvE, both Vector and Midas worked for a bit but i ended up only keepin the Vector for PvP purposes
Pakhan and M1A FW for PvE
Vector and M1A FW for DZ
I'm expecting the M1A to get nerfed a tad at some point, they absolutely shred people from both long and short range

The same way you have a health pack that heals anyone within a given radius with special green lasers or buff your bullets to make everyone within 10m bleed. The game is full of contrivances and enough "future tech" that I just dont see it having any extreme limitations. There is a ton they could do with the setting without having to lean on dragons or spaceships.
They made it a Tom Clancy game because Ubisoft believes that ip has some pull.

How do you have 1000 PC and have never been in the DZ? Did you just farm BK forever?

I think outside US its season pass or something. I got everything unlocked to I've forgotten what came with what lol.
Lot of folks just spent hour and hours and hours and hours doing the Bullet King exploit.
Always welcome, what's your PSN?

Any vendors sell a HE Vector or AK? Or the blueprints?
kriskrosbbk

Both can be found right next to your calibration desk .The vendor there I mean.
Even without it, you could get that much just by farming CM.
