The game has been really laggy lately. Like hit registration for both yourself and enemies not displaying in real time correctly then all of a sudden catching up all at once. Same with the Dark Zone. My guess is it has to do with that.

I think there is some confusion here. If you have more firearms, your weapons will do more damage in general. This is NOT set in stone when you craft your weapon. So it doesn't matter how much you have WHEN you craft it.
If I removed 500 firearms, my AK would not have 12K damage anymore.

So,
I'm just looking for some small advice.
I'm level 30, DZ Rank 26.
I do the dailies, all three, each day to earn the rewards from them.
What am I ultimately looking to do right now?
Just rank up in the DZ and continue to take on named enemies?
Is there anything I'm supposed to be doing that I'm not doing now in regard to the end-game?

DZ vendor in the BoO is selling a decent 15x scope if anyone wants it, refreshes in 48 minutes.
Datto says so many incorrect known to be false things in this video about incursions even just in the first few minutes:

Now everything have sense.
As pointed out here:
The dmg on your guns go up as when you get more firearms, it does NOT mean that you should stack firearm before crafting, period.
I take it you're getting this info from divisiontracker.com? Maybe that site is just lagging. If you got trophy/cheevo from doing it, it definitely counted.
Yeah I miss read it thinking that if I had higher firearms I'd get higher base damage on the RNG when crafting which would remain the same when the mods would be removed. Clearly I fucked up thinking that as you could just remove and add the same mod to bump the damage up more which would be ridiculous.

You can run any of the 4 Challenge Mode missions at any time. They don't need to be the daily for you to run them, and you can do them back to back. This is a good way to get Phoenix Credits and guaranteed High End items.
Come Tuesday, you'll be able to target named guys for HE items and the DZ will be a great place to accumulate Phoenix Credits.
But either way, it's a loot game. So replacing your gear wit better gear is the goal. And killing people in the DZ for the fun of it.

No dailies until after the patch on the 12th, at the earliest.

Ah, thank you.
Just wondering what the best way to get the HE Loot is though.
Is it through the DZ or is it through Pheonix Credits, or a general mixture of both as I play?
In my experience you have to get the last bullet I've downed alot more than I've been the one to kill them none of them counted.

Wow, these changes sound great. Tuesday is going to be too damn awesome. Dark Souls 3, Destiny, The Division. Especially looking forward to The Division because I haven't played it for the last week after dropping 72 hours into it initially.

Damn so that's what keeps happening to me. Son of a b! Been playing since launch and didn't realize it was the mod swap that caused it.
Hard quit or log out works to reset it on X1, but who wants to do that when in a mission or fighting in Dark Zone.
As for b-word-that-shall-not-be-uttered-ever hunting, rare occurrence like VE3TRO noted. So much more fun and suspenseful to standoff with a group or two than chasing solos which is boring as hell.
Still, it's a co-op game with easy matchmaking options so players running solo in DZ risk running into groups. Just how it is. If you can enjoy and survive solo, God bless and have fun. But don't complain if you see a group that takes advantage of your lack of back-up.

Right now, if you're fairly fresh to level 30, I say go for Challenging Lincoln Tunnel. Then start mixing in Challenging Lexington, which becomes the fastest one to run back to back, but can be hard at first since the rushing shot gunners can insta-down.
On Tuesday, it will probably be best to find a small circuit that you can run safely in the Dark Zone.
Once the community can nail down who drops what, targeting your upgrades will be easier.

Have they said why?

They haven't officially commented on it but the reason why has been found below.

I done maybe 10 missions challenging and i never got a HE drop as loot. Can they even drop outside DZ?
Yes. just bad luck on your part. Try to get some scavenging if you dont have any.

Rolled a HE AUG with increased crit and headshot dmg, that thing hits like a truck. 100k crit headshots and you can easily keep it on the head, stable as fuck
Quick Mustard

That makes sense, thanks!
happened to me too
HE drop rate is fixed 3%
Scav don't influence drop rate, it influences the quality of the drop, as in rolled stats.
Does Scav influence rolled stats on crafted items or re-rolling?
Might be useful to save some superior or HE gear with high scavenging just for the purpose of putting it on while your crafting, or re-rolling...
As far as I know its only on the drop right there and then, as with 16% scav I've had max rolled stats from crafting and rerolling

Man, I really want to save up all my mats and stuff for the patch, but I love rolling stuff.
What talents?
I was under the impression that scavenging did improve your chances at getting a higher quality drop (ie, gold vs purple, gold div tech vs blue div tech). Are you sure that scavenging only affects the rolled stats?

What's the reason behind saving materials for post-patch?
Reckless Onion

well i dont know the name of them thats why i said increased crit damage and increased headshot damage, third one i dont remember, something garbage
We won't know for sure until if/when they clarify, but after farming a ton of DZ I can say with pretty high confidence that I see more HE with my scavenging gear on (above 180) and I definitely get way more yellow DT both from boxes and enemy drops.
Post patch you get less mats for breaking items down and it costs more mats to craft. Also people are saving DT because we dont know what recipes wont require it anymore.
New stuff and better conversation rates now.
On the flip side, some stuff will get more expensive later. So depends what you've got now really.
I think both the AUG and ACR blueprints are bought with regular DZ cash and those are top-tier guns, but you might still want to wait until Tuesday to see what refreshes. Plus, on Tuesday you won't nee DivTech to craft them.

I'm doing it because I don't know what kind of items will be available after the patch. If they're a lot better than the items we have now, then crafting anything before the patch would be a waste of materials.
DT is QUALITY drops, all boxes are QUALITY too. DT Drops = higher quality DT
