I believe the quote was "about" every hour.

Please no. Once an hour sounds perfect. If it's every 15 mins then no one is actually playing the DZ, they're just farming chests the whole time.

I was able to get into a party chat with 1 friend. Nothing else works lolStupid crap. Cant party or play together.
I would assume that, same as with extraction, you need to hold down the interact button for two or three seconds in order to pick that stuff up, and getting shot interrupts you.
I wonder how the "first come first served" thing will work though - first person/group to reach the drop has dibs on it and others can't pick it up unless the first person is killed, then it goes to the second person? What's stopping people from just camping and letting someone else kill the NPCs and then killing the players?

It's like any other chest in the game. You open it, it's yours. Nothing confusing about it.
There's nothing stopping someone from coming in at the last second either. That's the nature of the DZ.

It's whomever opens it first. So a good strategy would be letting other players chip away at the npcs and then go rogue on them from behind. 👍🏼
Or pop a survivor link and run in and open it while everyone is fighting haha.
My group is already planning the 4x sticky flashbang + survivor link strat lol.
I'm fine with once an hour, I would like to see a very wide window though, that way you dont just have people rushing the DZ at the top of the hour.

I learned this the hard way. Some rando popped out of nowhere and grabbed my precious dtech while I was waiting for my group to show up.
I was shocked when the chest didn't give me anything and the prompt dissappeared. I know what I'm doing next time a dude gets close to my dtech
Just open it. Then everyone in your group can grab the loot too when they get there.
You should have gone rogue in that player lol.

Soss didn't get anything the other night when Gummy opened one. I think he was too far.
Next time I'm going Rogue for sure.
I'm not playing at the moment, but I'll shoot you a FR and maybe we can play together some time.
I'm still on that grind to 50.
I'm already dreading what exploits people are going to use to get the chest in their instance, since Massive seems so impotent to stop some of this quickly. Even in the lack of an exploit, it'll bring out some crappy behavior.
I'm sure someone has asked, but is there an archive of the stream? Missed all but first 10 minutes. Edit: Never mind, found it.
Thanks guys for biting off more than you can chew and helping with my platinum!

Supply Drops in the DZ sound fun, but once an hour? Great, more chests that I'll never get a chance to open since I don't play 10 hours per day and roll around in all the best gear in 8-man strike teams.
All the other stuff they're adding is good. Daily/weekly objectives especially, should have been there from the start. Need more incentives to play after lvl30. Still have a couple of story missions unfinished and an entire zone unexplored, feels pointless to complete them when the rewards are mainly XP and credits which are meaningless.

Hahah nice! Getting this Plat was anticlimactic.
So what's a better mag for an SMG?
All of them have 98% magazine size but I have the 3 options
+20%ish rate of fire
+30% crit damage
+8% crit chance
Rate of fire obviously shows the highest DPS. With that one equipped I already have 50% crit chance and 130% crit damage. But is Rate of Fire one of those misleading stats? The clip does empty a lot faster, but reload time kind of kills the momentum. I guess the faster you kill a guy the less chance he has to blast you at point blank range?
Edit: or alternatively I could keep rolling for Weapon Damage, which I may do for my M1A anyway (have the +8% crit chance on the M1A right now).

I actually still don't have it yet. I have probably been in on 50+ kills but the tracker says 17. Even a guy that I 100-0 and downed gave the text for someone else getting the kill. I have no idea how it works.
More like 4x sticky BFB. No witnesses.

Your almost there. If you really need it look me up I will be on in an hour and you can farm me.
that'd be great if BFB actually did damage. I mean you're talking about what? 250k * 1.4 * 1.4? at best? oh and a shitty 2k bleed
so across your 4 man team you get 2 million damage, don't think that's going to be good enough to tackle anything that's actually dangerous

So did they mention the exploits? fixes?

I believe the exploits will be gone tomorrow via a server side patch during maintenance. No need to address it any further.

Did it actually say Your Username kill Rogue Agent on the bottom left of the screen? It only counts for that. Downing someone doesn't count. You need to be the last hit.

+30% crit damage no doubt

sweet thanks
I've come in and hit guys to kill them and it said other people and I've done the reverse and damaged all of their health with someone else getting the killing blow with the same result. Maybe there are bugs with it or something, but it has seemed very random which ones that I get credit for. I pvp a LOT. It's pretty annoying, but meh, almost there.

I have dps at 152k and feel I am doing nothing...

If a lot of that is from accuracy, that's why.
On a separate note, just logged in saying I got a reward for being an early player (?) along with a supply drop for owning the season pass. Only thing I saw at the rewards vendor was 3 dark zone keys. Did I miss something else or is that it? I'm greatful for the keys but as I don't do much in the DZ, they're in there along with the other 3 I got from the Ubi Store points thingy.
PvE or PvP?
I run a full electronics build and with only 120k DPs but pulse basically running 24/7 giving me 40% crit chance and 80% crit damage I can output more instead of just building dps. Only problem is in PvP where its harder to hit people so I just try to land sticky bomb with 250k damage.
What's your firearm score?
