Converted all my mats to HEs today. Got about 60-70 of each. And around 20 DZ HEs.
Will grind the DZ later for moar

They needed more time to scramble together a response.
That, or there was always a flip side, but for some reason decided to not include it in the patch notes (probably due to not expecting this amount of backlash?)(or it was something they wanted to save for its own announcement?).

Groups of 4+ people running armor and health regen exploit in DZ is getting pretty old. I engage from a distance when I see manhunts, drop M44 on them and watch others engage. When their health doesn't budge, I log out. This game is so buggy and exploitable. Can't imagine what it must be like on PC with hacking thrown in the mix.

I think that's exactly what it is.
I have 181% scavenging when I'm hunting crates. It doesn't help.
Meanwhile the Rogues are going "wtf is he doing?"
I actually think they were because it took a good 5 seconds before they killed me.

Am I the only one that rarely (If ever) uses consumables and special ammo? I forget I even have them most of the time. I think some of it is how cumbersome it can be on console to select them but I also don't feel like they help all that much when I have used them. Last time I used the water to up my damage the NPC sat in cover for like 10-15 secs and I don't think I even got to benefit from it.
Am I missing the boat on this or do other people ignore them as well?

If they increase the drop rate of HE significantly, I'll probably be back but I feel this isn't it.
Same, I always forget they're there.

1. Assignments will hand out crafting mats.
2. Crafting mats can be purchased for currency.
3. Green and Blue items will drop more often.
Calling it now.

I find water + incendiary bullets to be incredibly good against named bosses in hard/challening dailies.
Sounds like we are running similar setups base on my m1a is 174%.
My total headshot damage with gear is pretty high haven't stopped to calculate exactly but I have multiple gears set with high headshot/crit damage... what kind of damage output are doing on a single headshot?
With my health and skill down pretty low between mods and gear I can hit near 300k on single headshot. probably more but idk... thats just from one time i kinda paid attention to that lol.
Soooo much this. and they are easy to come by I use them all the time in the dz too.
Already said that crafting assignments will give division tech. Phoenix Credit and Dark Zone(?) credit for the other two.
PC changes are bizarre to me, you have more ways to gain them (and gain them faster from 31/32 bosses) and less to spend them on.
Damn right you was wrong.
Yeah High-End with Balanced, Brutal and Deady. Accuracy is 100% and headshot damage 240%.
There you go, just waving your high end dick around.
Oh my. Just liked boomerang at the gas Depot and he dropped a classic M1A for me. First extraction point people went rogue and I high tailed it out.
Came up on an extraction that was landing as soon as I got there. Thanks DZ..I'm don't for today.
35k damage.
Harmful has a 13% chance to bleed.
Ferocious is 13% against elite and named.
Provident says the last bullet deals 56% more damage.
16% head shot damage on the 15x scope.
Muzzle is +30% crit hit damage.
Mag +13% damage.
I feel good about that.

You dirty rat haha, I feelz when I see single players roaming the dz, often offer them to join our squads etc as it must suck to be out there on you're own.So last night our group killed the boss that's in the pit in DZ06 a random non hostile kept taking pot shots at the boss and kept hiding he was waiting for us to kill it so he could get his loot. Well we killed him grabbed our loot then the dude went in for his loot and he just stood there for a bit so I got a feeling he might of gotten something good. I went rogue and killed him and he dropped a First Wave M1A Lol! I couldn't have ran any faster to the extraction my hands were sweaty while waiting for the helicopter to show up.

Agreed.
The intended effect is to create more than one bottleneck for each end goal the player has in mind. Buy the blueprint for DZ credit, build the piece with crafting mats, re-tool the piece with credits.
Now that they've reduced the role of PC into that mix, it's bound to impact desire to run CMs and Hard dailies. Especially once 31s and 32s in the DZ start dropping it much more rapidly.

Has it replaced the M44 for your DZ sniper, or is that thing still a beast?

Running with pretty mediocre HE level 30 gear aside from the VECTOR. Wondering if anyone has tips on how to get any of the following (or if I'm best off just grinding Challenging Dailies?):
1 - HE vest w/ mod slot
2 - HE gloves w/ mod slot
3 - HE sniper rifle (ideally the kind that can go through quite a few shots before a reload)
...feeling like those slots are really holding me back currently.

Players will always find the most efficient way to get ahead. It may not be the most exciting, but they will find the most efficient.
i.e. vanilla D3 pot farming

Do I wast the PXC to buy the new attribute and see if its better? Who is right lol.
I tried it on some bambi's last night who were rogue so getting good shots wasn't ideal since they were running down the road but body shots were taking there health down to nearly zero with 3-5 shots. I need to test out a headshot with explosive rounds and what a crit headshot does.

1. DZ06 vendor sells Vest BPs, but you need to be rank 50 DZ. Also, complete random lucky DZ or PvE named boss drops said item
2. Don't believe gloves have mod slots
3. Random drop off PvE/DZ named bosses or crafting the Tenebrae from DZ06. I think the BoO vendor sells a police MK17, but it's not great. I also don't use the Tenebrae either. DZ06 sells the 5 round bolt action M44 sniper as well.
edit. I clicked post when I went to switch windows while at work
Kinda Crazy IMO that Massive is completely re-doing how the "economy" in Division works just a mere one month out. Makes you wonder how long the new economy will last. As usual it's probably best to be a horder of all collectable stuff in the game to be prepared for the next nerf.

1 - You can grind CMs (Challenge Mode missions) or you can try re-calibrating a major attribute to get a mod slot. You can also get 2 slots, and I've heard but not seen 3-slot chest pieces.
2 - Gloves can't get mod slots.
3 - For semi-auto types, it's drop only. Bosses of CMs, yellow guys in the Dark Zone. You can scoop up the blueprint for a named semi-auto called the Tenebrae, but you have to be DZ rank 50 to buy it. It's also not that good. You can also get an M44 blueprint, but it's bolt-action. (It rocks still, but better for PvP than PvE.)

I'm level 19 DZ - would you recommend I shift focus from dailies for Phoenix Credits/Challenging for PC + high-end drop to instead focus on leveling up the Dark Zone?

The game isn't designed to last longer than the 3rd dlc, that's not how Ubi games work.
i've got an extended mag with rate of fire and one with critical damage, both around 102% magazine size, i thought the critical damage one was the obvious choice but the rate of fire gets my dps up, which one is best/should i go for?
my crit damage without the mag with crit damage is 120% with it goes up to 155% my dps with it is 141K. with the rate of fire mag its 151K
my crit hit chance is at 50% with my primary

The problem is I don't even have a HE chest piece yet...still rolling with a pretty mediocre level 30 purple. Challenge missions have only been dropping holsters for me (I guess bad luck). Thanks for all of these other tips, particularly on the sniper rifle...great to know it's more of a drop situation and I shouldn't be hoarding to eventually buy a non-existent or mediocre one.
Crit dmg imo.

If I have a scope with a headshot multiplier, does it only work if I actually aim down the scope?

What numbers do you get in the gun range? I was running with crit damage on my MP5 until last night when I got an extended mag with high fire rate and even though crit damage is down I feel it takes down enemies quicker.
For me these are the numbers. Now the higher RPM might be lower by 4,000 but due to the speed its gonna put same bullets into the target but quicker.
999 RPM is 38,000 at 10 seconds to empty 64 clip = 2,432,000
Crit Damage is 42,000 at 13 seconds to empty 61 clip = 2,562,000
Do you have a wireless router? If so, is it located near your PS4?

What gun are you using?
I was in the same boat as you, nearly the exact same. I found that Crit Dmg helped the Vector more because it has such a small clip. ROF makes the Navy MP5 an absolute monster, bringing its rate to 1000. Clearing a clip of 60 in seconds when approx. half of your shots are critting is insane, and it feels like a better average than critting harder over a longer period of time.
I'd say to grind CMs for it. It's all luck and RNG, baby. I got my chest piece from there, so it's level 30, not item level 31, but it has the things I want on it so I haven't bothered rolling the 31 version. Specifically, it's got a mod slot and the +armor major.
Have you guys lost a gun when you had more than one version of the same weapon? I had two Vectors in my inventory (one had a slightly better roll, one had more stability) and I was messing around with my primary and secondary weapons.
After I stopped equipping different secondaries, one of my Vectors was gone. The one with the higher DPS and better talents seems to have just vanished.

Well, Hammish did say we have too much gear...
silly me, i haven't ran those tests yet but from killing ads in the DZ i also feel i'm melting enemies quicker with the rate of fire mag
i'm thinking its cause i'm dealing a bunch of damage in a shorter amount of time (50% crit hit chance with over 1K rpm) and it overcomes the 35% difference in crit hit damage
RIP that poor test subject
Best I've crafted has been 2 mod slots. I'm not even sure I would personally want a 3 mod slot unless I had some awesome mods to equip on it.
Sorry I got cut off earlier. If you are only DZ19 I wouldn't abandon leveling up. Mainly because with the incoming patch you may soon be able to buy a Vest from the DZ at a rank lower than 50 (possibly - who knows how the gear will be spread in the reallocation). It's really hard to say you should do "x" this close to a major economy change patch. If you can run CMs quickly it will give you a chance a various HE drops, but nothing is a 100% guarantee in this game.
yeah i'm running mp5 and those are the same conclusions i've reached
