I'm probably doing the whole build thing wrong. Just hit level 18 and primary DPS is 16,500 ish, Health around 6,900, Skill at 2,100 give or take. I was going for a high damage build but reading around suggests a bit more balance might be in order....any thoughts?

Also just got my first purples (vendor bought, never seen a purple drop in the wild) shotgun and SMG.

 

[MythicReclaimer]

I try to keep my stats balanced, running 120k DPS, 55k HP, and 25k Skill Power. Need the Electronics to keep my talents active on my weapons. I also have a second gear set with 195% scavenging that I pop on before opening chests or last hitting a boss. Anyone else doing this?

Yeah, I go for more of a balanced build as it helps with activating most talents on weapons. I also started focusing more on stability regarding primary weapons as the amount of DPS is pointless if you cannot consistently hit your target. So instead of going for an erratic 150K+ DPS weapon I'll stick to a 115K DPS lazer-like Caduceus after stabilizing it with mods.

Currently at...

DPS: 115K
Health: 65K
Skill: 25K

...with all weapon talents active with all High-end weapons, gear, and gear mods. Some High-end weapon mods too. My Classic M1A is Superior but does 100K DPS.

I wouldn't worry about it too much at level 18, you constantly upgrade your gear as you level. Just experiment a bit, your ratio seems about right honestly.

 

[Anilusion]

So... how does this work?

 

[Ruruja]

So... how does this work?

You need 1889 Electronics.

 

[BraXzy]

What's a good high end weapon blueprint to buy with my PC? Liberator?

Depends on preference but most grab Vector. Some swear by the AK though. I hear nothing either way about Liberator.

I must be blind. Thanks lol.

In other news, the Burger King has been very helpful with my gear progress.

 

[BraXzy]

I looked like three times and didn't even spot that lmao. I must be tired.

 

[LProtag]

I've got a pretty decent DPS/Health build going, but I kinda want to try support with an LMG.

I just have nothing HE that does anything for electronics, because it seemed like a waste, haha.

 

[Razgreez]

Yeah no issue there. However, i am having an issue with a socom M1A where if i just about meet the skill requirements to activate the perks they do so but if i go over and above them by some margin then the perks show deactivated on the main inventory screen but activated on the weapon detail screen. I haven't yet been able to ascertain whether or not they are actually activated but i found it rather weird that this was occuring

 

[razgriz417]

vector 45 ACP SMG pattern
extended magazine pattern
firearms backpack pattern
firearms gas mask pattern
firearms gear mod pattern
HE kneepads item buy

Once you get those bought and crafted (may need to craft some over and over to get rolls you are happy with) you are like 80% near the best stats you can get in the game, only a few slots missing vendor buyable pC patterns.

DO NOT CRAFT THE BACKPACK

 

[CorrisD]

So what are peoples weapon combinations? I've been carrying an Assault Rifle and a Marksmen Rifle, but I'm wondering if I should swap the AR for an SMG.

 

[Alpende]

I've got a lower level Vector and a Shotty for those close ranges. Got a sniper rifle in my inventory as well.

 

[Kalamari]

DO NOT CRAFT THE BACKPACK

Why?

 

[Deku Tree]

Why?

I guess because there is a nasty bug associated with it and going into the DZ that can freeze your whole account.

 

[bosseye]

Ah, thanks that's good to know. I'm still dying quite easily so thought I might be focusing on the wrong area.

I really like the subtlety of the character building, far more to it than I thought. Really enjoyable game. I've put 26 hours in so far, half of that just pottering around soaking up the detail and density in the world.

Love it.

 

[FloatingDivider]

Why?

There's been reports of people losing all of their shit and getting their savefile permantly bugged after crafting and using the backpack. No joke either.

 

[razgriz417]

Why?

Crafted a backpack last night, along with some other pieces of gear and mods. Logged out, game bugged out, lost the backpack, all crafted gear and my cadeceus. Went to restart the game, now stuck in perpetual login screen.

Spoke to ubi support, they have no eta on a fix for this but seems like I'm hosed.

 

[MythicReclaimer]

I run AR and SMG as my main setup. Was using Liberator and Vector combo but am now mostly using Caduceus and Midas combo. I mix in the Classic M1A marksman rifle when the situation calls for it. I've also started using the pistol more since I'm using the Repo Reaper talent, the Damascus is a great finisher.

But I already crafted it. . what should I do now?

 

[Ashtar]

So whats the best high end gun to buy with pheonix credits? I'm scared to buy one and it turns out to be crap

 

[razgriz417]

hope it doesnt happen to you when you log out or going join other people's games or go to the DZ. No one knows the cause yet and Ubisoft hasn't said anything besides the devs are looking into it

There's alot more thread about it than when I checked this morning

People really like the vector. It's an smg. If you like AKs there's a blueprint for that as well

Is the vector sold off the guy in the base or are they somewhere else?

 

[Deku Tree]

Game is so buggy. I'm gonna stay out of the DZ until I hear about a fix. That's my backpack.

 

[arts&crafts]

Is it just the firearms back pack? I have the stamina backpack

Also I just crafted 10 vectors, all of them are horrible

 

[Costia]

Is there any way to know which missions i am missing for complete all missions on hard at 30?

 

[Iceman829]

Sold at the BoO

 

[ODDI]

Did you have a crafted HE backpack?

Haven't crafted anything lately tho I did equip a new backpack.

looks like you're in the same boat as me then. All we can do is wait for a resolution from Massive (if it ever comes...)

[Tragicomedy]

So I didn't try BK farming until today. Madness.

 

[Darth Ghandi]

Hey!

What is this about a burger king?
Send in PM if you don't want it written on GAF

 

[Liamc723]

How do I do the BK farm?

 

[Namikaze1]

Um...I crafted like 9 HE bags last night.

Fuck.

 

[Disheveled_Zen]

How are ballistic shield and mobile cover for challenge modes? So far we have just been running support station/smart cover, but have been wondering if one person should bring the shields for those fun shotgun enemies.

Autumn's Hope safe house. Exit immediately right then first left. Yellow named boss down the street. Kill him for easy 1-3 Phoenix credits. Don't kill off his minions, let them kill you. 30 second runs, rinse and repeat.

Ballistic shield is amazing and well worth it

shoot a smart cover on the shield and you have a mobile smart cover around it

Which backpack do you need to avoid crafting?

Is it a specific one that triggers the bug?

That's why everyone is farming it. Well, was farming it before Burger King implemented happy hour.

Anyway, gonna hold off on the rogue farming.

Ah ok.

So best to avoid crafting any HE backpacks for now?

Does it apply to lower level backpacks as well, or just gold ones?

Certain backpacks or all?
