That was a fun run. Thanks, Gore, Darknyss, and Jafku.

We stole several guys's HEs. We went on a manhunt and survived for a few minutes against 7-8 folks before the numbers game got to us all.

Overall, it was pretty fun.

Good run, fun too plus decent amount of dtec as a bonus. You got 2 HE off players right??


DZ83.5 now, don't think I'll make DZ90 by Tue.

M44 - Is this worth picking up?
Click to expand...

I think so (get blueprint) it can one shot down in PvP and 30s in the DZ. Hits for 450k at 3k firearms, then pulse etc. Need to go for headshots tho. Quick video in action: https://youtu.be/vC6M3qytq-o

Explosive rounds even with bodyshots will 1H down in the DZ too. Here's a video from the other day with explosive rounds: https://youtu.be/HQFnj_TJkN4

M1A you can spam alot more, when I use this I feel it's more of a single fire long range assault rifle. I like both guns tho.

Currently level 23 and so sick of encounters and side missions. They are all copy and paste. If I have to enable one more scanner I'll probably stop playing. There are so few "real" missions, it feels like what I'm doing is 80% mundane side stuff and 20% actual interesting content. Can I repeat the story stuff to level up? Did you do all the side/encounter missions while leveling?

Yes story missions are repeatable. You can even up the difficulty which I'd recommend.

You cannot level with replaying missions... they only grant xp once, iirc. You have to do the shitty sidemissions.

You get plenty of experience from killing the enemies + it's less tedious than doing side missions.

I'm not suggesting that he should do it, but he did ask if it was possible.

To add to this, repeating the story missions will only give you xp for the enemies you kill , you won't get the big chunk you get for first time completion.

You will need to do the majority of the encounters to upgrade all wings to 100% as well as the story missions don't provide enough points to do so.

The encounters do get repetitive so I'd suggest mixing it up with reruns of the story missions you particularly enjoyed.

I did all the encounters and after fully upgrading the base I was left with 260 medical, 260 tech & 500 security.
So I guess you could leave 4 medical, 4 tech & 8 security encounters and still get the base to 100%

Just one, Jafku stole the one that dropped from one of the guys from that group who kept following us. I killed the guy, saw yellow, I tried to pick it up but Jafku beat me to it.

I hit rank 60.5, went up a level and a half.

I suggest him doing each area completely.

While it sucks, you will never be under leveled and have 100% BoO when 30.

The ability to pickup drops quick is a skill in itself!

One guy on my FL beats me every time, he makes sure he's by the body as they fall and you don't even see it!

It was a pretty decent firearms mod. +127 to firearms stat. Had to delete it though. Didn't want those groups getting any HE's off of me

I'm wondering how much DZ xp the weeklies are going to give, or if there's something like a Nightfall buff. 50 to 90 is going to be a pretty significant grind. Only 58 now, going to try for 70 by the patch.

Try to kill every NPC you see. Keep yourself to DZ 1-4 if you want to level up fast. Better to find a team. That's how me and my team leveled up. I'm almost 85. I was 61 three days ago.

Click to expand...

This. You want a maxed out BoO so everything is unlocked. It might suck now, but you'll be happier later.

FYI skip any bounty missions. If you want you do these once you reach 30 and can get HE items off the named enemies once the 1.1 patch is deployed

I don't know what was up, but earlier this morning and about an hour ago I felt like I was out of my league chasing some rogues.

That's the first time it's happened too. Wasn't a good feeling at all.

And why would I want them?
Holyfuck I'm frustrated. I have a full back pack trying to extract and I've been kicked out 5 times in a row now. Fucking pissing me off. Right when I start getting purple drops too.

decided to hold off on DZ until i finished the main story, which was a few days ago... and i'm sooo relieved they're patching the DZ vendors, shit is ridiculous. as of now i need to grind to 50 just to get anything halfway decent. surprised most people didn't call it a day after 30 or so

Caught two players boosting, taking turns going rogue and waiting out their timer so I waited until they were off guard:

https://youtu.be/bI3t_HwnzG4


On a seperate note: another bug not fixed yet -/Massive seems to think that some players blocked on PSN are 'friends' and its show them on the map.

That players friend was really no help. Just sat there and let you reck the rogue. Didn't even try to defend, not willing to go rogue for real.

So should I be waiting to buy blueprints from the phoenix credit vendors in the base and the Dark Zone until after the update?

A lot of people are doing that yes. There are going to be new BP's and there will be ilvl 32 BPs. But we don't know all the details. So there is no best strategy.

Did Russian Consulate on CM with my friend and two randoms two days ago. Half way through it, we realized the two randoms were half assing everything and were generally no help at all (Running into enemy fire at the start of the wave, dying at the same place multiple times, acting LIKE the JTF, etc).

We decided to carry them all the way to the Hornet fight and my friend kick them at the last minute. Then we invited one of our friends to finish the rest of it.

Dragging them along and kicking them at the end is still a dick move

Used my 30 day trial through gamefly and rented this. I remember when this game was first revealed, it was really high on my "to play" list. The beta just didn't grab me like I thought it would. Gonna dive in after it updates and see if it sticks.

With no dailies looks like I'm just gonna grind the DZ until Thesday and craft all my mats to HE mats.

The grind to 90 is really a slog. Ugh. Even going rogue and such still makes it awful. I really hope the supply drops help make the DZ more dynamic and different. Right now the grind and repetition is strong.

Got a high end vest I needed. Gonna go extract.

Wes one shots some innocent no loot bambi looking at his watch. We go rogue.

A lvl 90 team comes up and massacres us while Wes is nowhere to be seen because he ran away.


We became the bambis.

And wes is an ass

So do high ends drop from hard mode missions or just challenge?

High ends can drop from hard mode, I got a HE FW M1A from Hornet in hard mode.

They are iLvl 30 in hard mode and iLvl 31 in challenge mode.

I got locked out last night and i did not even have a crafted backpack, i dont mean to sound really salty here but is there some form of compensation for people who have been locked out , I mean a month of no game time is certainly annoying
