Make sure your chc isnt way past the cap. That will tell you if you can squeeze more chd out of it

tropic topaz
junior surge
#

Are you using chc attachments, or chd?

tropic topaz
#

chc sadly

junior surge
#

What kind of build is it?

tropic topaz
#

a not really thought-out one
ceska mask, grupo holster, umbra initiative

junior surge
#

Gearset builds will often not have that much chd, because of the lack of a second minor attribute.

tropic topaz
hexed steppe
#

and actually just post a top view screenshot

tropic topaz
#

a top view?

hexed steppe
#

if you have oreo build around that as top dps weapon

#

like this

tropic topaz
#

oh

#

it doesnt look anywere near as good :(

hexed steppe
#

it doesnt matter. it easier to advise if i know what youre working with

tropic topaz
hexed steppe
#

is oreo 31% chc all together? 10%mod 21% attribute

tropic topaz
#

it's only 30.5

hexed steppe
#

fair enough. i just didnt want to figure the wrong chc

hexed steppe
# tropic topaz

ok so you can drop the ceska mask. and add coyote if you have it.

between umbra(15chc), oreo(31 chc max) , max watch(10chc), and 1 chc(6chc) rolls on coyote youll be sitting at 62% (caps at 60 obv). you would be able to have chd on all pieces and mods and could afford to roll weapon handling on the grupo with the chd.

if watch isnt maxed chc then have a 2nd chc roll on the grupo.

tropic topaz
#

thank you for your help, i just cant math properly :D

flint wave
#

If ur running an AR and u try to minmax the ouro chc your secondary will be crit starved as hell

#

so commit to ouro if that's what ur gonna do cuz ur secondaries gonna be lacking

tropic topaz
round zinc
#

ouro primary shotgun secondary i guess

#

like if you use a smg and you build around it,your secondary weapon is always gonna be inherently weaker

#

so using shotguns that have massive raw stopping power should work

#

also shotguns are like the only thing that can rival ouro dps

#

and thats assuming that you're in range

blissful rampart
#

AR or Rifle still fine, for those times you need longer reach then Oreo

#

also they get that coyotes long buff in those instances.

livid horizon
cyan drift
#

hey, claws out is fun

#

unironically kind of alright in PVP

#

though most people just hurr durr picaro

livid horizon
green pumice
#

no need more dmg.

blissful rampart
#

fyi the min max oreo strikers is still ceska + coyotes (if after full crit) so boosts your AR as well.

#

dodge city always great too for nearly all builds 😄 , Pocket nuke FTW

hollow pasture
#

I use it with the orbit

round zinc
#

yea orbit easily fix all your crit problem

tawdry flare
#

Orbit outperform all coyote buff combined

hexed steppe
blissful rampart
#

Orbit not as reliable as coyotes 😛 so dont count on its chc buff, only its chd buff as an extra

hollow pasture
#

Yea it's not about relying on orbit
It's more for when you need that chd buff for more important targets

round zinc
#

nothing better than the FuckSpecificallyThatGuy3000

hollow pasture
#

The one purple bar running for his life as I hunt him with my pocket nuke

round zinc
#

inb4 somehow you miss

dreamy valve
#

Isn’t Orbit a pistol slot trap

round zinc
#

why would it be

#

what else are you using there anyway

#

regulus dont go with ouro

hollow pasture
#

Not a trap
It's there to buff ur main weapon

#

That's 40% chd lol on top of what you have

#

Too good to pass up on

round zinc
#

i really dont know who told you orbit is bait tbh

#

though i mean i consider tdi kard to be bait so idk

dreamy valve
#

I use sledgehammers nowadays and just kill with my main weapon

trail plaza
#

would skill-rolled True Patriot work instead of FI for healer?

urban latch
#

It's just objectively worse

vestal ibex
#

If you HF HH and kill someone with a regulus headshot within the HF disorient range while wearing creeping death what status usually gets the creeping death spread? Bleed or disorient?

onyx sage
#

iirc it's the bleed that happens first, but don't quote me on that

hexed steppe
#

Sounds like a waste of damage potential using creeping

vestal ibex

Am I missing something with this pvp build ? I used to be quite strong but now i cannot even win 50% of 1v1 duels. I mean it's well know that there are a lot of cheaters but man i cannot compete. With this build I have 1.6 mill armor, 2 skill core for better def drone and shield, 60% crit chance, 130% crit hit dmg and 100% pulse res so I can't be detected as well has unbreackable for the chest and armror dmg from contractor's gloves

vestal ibex
#

If they do have the oreo they gonna double stuff you.

severe wasp
#

@vestal ibex ye the ouro is too strong I can't deal with it. But I wanted a balanced build with armor, dmg and some skill tiers so I went with this one

stiff jasper
severe wasp
#

@stiff jasper I mean winning games with a kda of 15/0 is (imo) pretty strong

#

Now I can't do this anymore

stiff jasper
#

I can also killing noob with 100 win rate
If you win noob to explain you used to be strong, that is pointless

severe wasp
#

Why is there always someone who needs to be butthurt ?? I'm just asking for ways to improve my build in pvp

stiff jasper
#

well lets get back to you build, the build which you posted, have tons of problem

flint wave
#

ninjabike lmao

#

this build already has an irreversible flaw

stiff jasper
#

first, biggest problem, you use ninja

blissful rampart
#

Oreo is super strong, and Ninja bike is holding you back. Its just not strong enough for what you lose (exotic slot, backpack talent and 2 stats).

stiff jasper
#

i see you want pulse resistance, then? you use fernis and contract, which both of them second piece are useless

blissful rampart
#

not sure if you are lacking chc in that build but if you are, then contractors is a dps loss as well. (ie dont lose chd for any chc rolls)

stiff jasper
#

means you loss talent and brands, just for the pulse resistance, which you can use 3 yaahl and waste nothing

#

second, shield and tech spec for what? they don't give any benefit for you with that build

stiff jasper
blissful rampart
#

i mean still a dps loss if what i said is happening

stiff jasper
forest forum
#

Is memento no good like ninijabike?

stiff jasper
blissful rampart
#

Memento is super strong for pve but falls off for pvp

#

memento talent is actually strong (at least for pve)

severe wasp
#

Real question, why do you people think the ninjabike is bad ? It gives me +10% crit chance from the providence mask (so +15% headshot dmg and +10% chc), lots of weapon handling from contractor's glove and Fenris chest so +30% reload speed (more dps) and more accurate weapons and unlock the +40% pulse res bonus from Yhaal gear as well as giving me weapon dmg, 170k armor, and an additionnal skill core which grants me more survivability from the def drone and shield

forest forum
#

Oh okay thx. I have it saved.

forest forum
stiff jasper
forest forum
#

I personally like the look better so i was* meaning to track it

blissful rampart
#

TLDR: Re ninja bag
---the extra brand stats gained from Ninja bag are mostly QOL stuff (IE reload speed, handling, dont impact burst dps)
---and the extra few damage stats you can possibly gain do not outweigh the loss of a backpack talent and or ability to use say fox, coyotes (which is a separate multiplier).
---you can also have more defense and dps if you run a normal backpack (say ad rush) roll it blue or yellow core (to keep the core split you gain from ninja bag) and use say coyotes, fox.

severe wasp
#

@stiff jasper whithout it I have 50% crit chance and 120% crit dmg which is still ok, maybe not on the chd side

urban latch
severe wasp
#

Ok, I'm working on a new build, will share it later

blissful rampart
#

bottom line is Ninja bag is sadly not balanced correctly and is weak compared to using a different backpack.

stiff jasper

@stiff jasper I'd like to see your pvp stats from such a big mouth

#

so no escalation

stiff jasper
blissful rampart
#

@stiff jasper dude chill

vestal ibex
#

Yikes

severe wasp
#

Here, this might be better (not against players with 100% pulse res tho). Without Coyotes mask bonuses I have 50% crit chance and 166% crit dmg. Still have 1.4 mill armor so it's alright allowing me some balance with weapon dmg. +35% dmg to pulsed target from chest and weapon talents as well armor dmg and dmg to target out of cover from contractors and fox's prayer

#

Decided to add a shotgun for more close range efficiency

forest forum
#

Any1 know why there's only 5 slots for these when there's a lot different kneepads? Trying to figure out how to lvl up my proficient for gears but don't really have a whole lot of them in slots so i definitely need to add more if possible.

Normal spotter and perfect spotter on better brand are close in terms of dps so doesn't matter much there.

and then if i get cc'd by something i die to that afterwards

severe wasp
#

Now I have this one: 60% crit chance and 160% crit dmg for all weapons, regular spotter on a fenris chest but +10% AR dmg and decided to go with a Gila guard mask with armor, chc and chd, now I have nearly 1.6 mill armor

That's a named item so you need more of the named items to donate

#

The brand doesn't matter when it comes to named gear pieces

#

It has to be the named version

forest forum
hollow pasture
#

Yes
Ur in luck
It's on sale at the countdown vendor
So you can buy a bunch and donate them like that

forest forum
#

It always show two zero in top left as if i have none and i have several tho

#

That's why I'm thinking tech issue

blissful rampart

also iirc that research window has a scroll bar (ie scroll down)

If you click on punch drunk does none other punch drunks show up

Ohhhhh dudeeee!! No way! Now i get wym by named item! Its a different DH! The heck. I hate having adhd i don't read everything. Omg. That's on me. Thx guys for helping tho, for real i mean it.

stiff jasper
hollow pasture
#

Yes
Named items need their named version to be donated
Not the brand it belongs to

magic pilot
#

I think it's calculating the total dmg of each grenade and adding them together as one source of grenade

hollow pasture
#

So if you get D&H mask you can't donate it to get punch drunk proficient

magic pilot
#

So if it has 6 clusters and they each do 500k and an enemy is getting hit by one of them it's still adding together all the dmg from each cluster

severe wasp
#

@forest forum It might be a bit boring but if you farm countdown a lot you will easily get all your expertise levels

forest forum

Yea countdown is by far the best to lvl up expertise

@forest forum and if you keep a lot of currency for each vendor reset you can use them to buy 20 times the named item you want max expertise on

Not sure if any1 can explain the math for striker backpack, but is there a limit on how many per* stacks gained? Been trying to understand why its good since its suggested often.

rich cosmos
#

What?

#

My man what math is there it’s addition and subtraction

blissful rampart
#

☝️

forest forum
#

It show a % so

#

You tell me

#

If its not hard

blissful rampart
#

Backpack changes damage per stack from .65 to 1% instead

#

So if you have 100 stacks it's a 100% damage boost

rich cosmos
#

^

forest forum
# blissful rampart So if you have 100 stacks it's a 100% damage boost

The limit sounds complicated since you lose 1 per second yet the rest in red is confusing since i don't know how to read that. So its those tricky math i never got. Surely be nice if some1 would simplify that if they can. I'm really just trying to understand things better since I overlooked so much. But I'll back off on the questions tho.

Every second you aren’t shooting the enemy and gaining stacks you are losing your stacks, once you go past 50 stacks it goes away quicker until its back at 50 stacks

The non-classified version anyway

basically thinking of acosta go bag + Carpenter maybe or simply go with another brand and have mad bomber on it

noble dirge
cerulean smelt

if anything, you can also try Collector Chest with it and see how it fairs in your exuro build

noble dirge
gentle lichen
#

Does the exuro bag have an opportunistic effect on enemy caught by the turret's fire?

cerulean smelt
gentle lichen
#

It also increases something by 25%

cerulean smelt
#

the chest makes it so whatever is caught on fire by turret spreads by 2 Meters

gentle lichen
#

Backpack (Heatstroke): Enemies set on fire by the Ortiz turret take 25% bonus weapon damage. The turret gets a bonus 25% range.

#

So it's only weapon damage and doesn't affect how much damage your other skill might do to the burned enemies?

gentle lichen
#

Shame

#

Thought it worked like the eclipse bag

cerulean smelt
#

nope, just all i remembered was the turret's range

#

but i believe your teammates would be doign 25% extra damage as long as they were set on fire by your turret

i once tried to do a ninja bag + 3 Piece EP and 2 PC Exuro just to see how it'd react and wasn't impressed

Thoughts so far?, preferably for PVE like raids, incursion, legendary. I tried it in summit today, it works good but my random teammates were on something putting like 10 directives ☠️

magic pilot
#

Ceska chest

fallen comet
#

and elmo i guess

astral kraken
#

a couple blue cores (maybe even 3) goes a long way for leg. it makes you and your shield stronger. all red they'll crack your shield and your face in like 2 seconds

#

striker stacks will dish out enough dps anyways

flint wave
#

in solo memento goes a longer way

astral kraken
#

agreed

astral kraken
#

whereas with ND you can target drone operators, minitanks, etc. and for those chunga waves where they push you in groups of 2-3 you can apply a lot of damage to all of them at once.

#

@magic pilot @fallen comet @astral kraken @flint wave @vestal ibex

Noted from you all.

  1. I most likely might have a Cheska chest, but if I'ma use a Striker chest, I'll replace the gloves.

  2. Sadly don't have Elmo yet.

  3. Funny thing I did shield peek with this but only thing so far in legendary summit was the random teams having like 10 directives ☠️.

  4. I do have Momento but I only made an old True patriot build with it I don't use any more. So I'm up for suggestions with that.

  5. What's ND? Lol

  6. Overall I was recommended like the other day making this for PVE, I've had the famas for a while cuz of PVP, the Scorpio has always been a help, overall again I got Cheska forsure to replace the gloves and use a Striker chest.

So thanks to you all (even tho I'm unfortunately at work lol). 👌🏻

Hi, have you guys tested dps with strained and optimist talents ? Is strained good with 60 crit chance and a weapon with a big mag or is optimist still the way to go ?

hexed steppe
#

Strained when running red cores, optimist when running more armor cores

severe wasp
#

@hexed steppe but won't you do more damage if you use strained + 60 crit hit chance and full blue cores than if you use optimist (again with full blue cores) on a low base dmg weapon ?

hexed steppe
#

I'm sure both will work on blue cores. But from what I understand when you dont have a lot of wd optimist will have more impact.
I dont have any of the numbers to back it up, but I'm sure someone around will be able to put a finer point on it.

Ok, i need to test it

Nope, stay all red

untold hearth

Acs or lefty probably for stacking. If for incursion I think Scorpio still bugging out one of the bosses

untold hearth
hexed steppe
#

Acs is an auto shotgun. Really fast stack. Lefty is same but with sledge for utility if needed

Perfect sledge is a debuff to enemies caught in the grenade, it's 40% extra damage to armor and some move speed. It's HUGE

# hexed steppe I'm sure both will work on blue cores. But from what I understand when you dont ...

Just did some tests in the firing range on invincible elites target: used a build with 6 armor cores, 60 chc and 117% chd, (no dmg, fire rate, chc and chd from brand bonuses and talents). Went with a high end socom mk16 AR with 10% dmg to targets out of cover. With Optimist I went up to 2 600 000 dps and 363 000 highest dmg / and with strained, 2 520 000 dps and 350 000 highest dmg. Did multiple tests and results were consistent. So yes Optimist does a liitle more dmg than strained

vestal ibex
severe wasp
#

@vestal ibex where is it pinned ?

onyx sage
#

you also have 6 blue, so optimist will win, but the more reds and expertise bonus you have, the more optimist loses value and strained wins

vestal ibex
#

It right dar

@onyx sage and with 3 red cores and 3 blue cores which is better ?

#

so your awd multiplier should be equal to 2 with optimist average buff and 1.85 without, optimist would give 1.081 equivalent multiplier (8% dps increase) on average,

while strained on that build (i'm guessing striker since you have low crit) gives on average 28.4375% crit damage with striker's rpm buff factored in, but 1.10025 equivalent multiplier (10% dps increase) on average

so strained wins on 3 blue here

tawdry flare
onyx sage
onyx sage
#

also this is with 0 expertise, if you do have expertise the optimist equivalent multiplier would be even lower

severe wasp
#

@onyx sage thanks a lot, and obviously if have a lot of chd (198% on another build) and 60 chc strained will be super strong

onyx sage
severe wasp
#

oh ok I didn't knew that

tawdry flare
#

Same with optimist

#

You are increasing amp in one category only

green pumice
#

fast hands bis

tawdry flare
onyx sage
#

think of this way right, optimist gives awd (all weapon damage), which is sum of red core bonus + expertise + most bonuses that say "weapon damage", the more of it you have, the less impact you will get when you get more, so optimist isn't the best choice,

but same goes for strained, if you have too much chd, you get less value out of strained, since strained also gives chd

tawdry flare
#

Except on nego build where the more chd you have the better assuming close to 60% CHC

severe wasp
#

ok so you want some balance between not too much weapon dmg and not too much chd

onyx sage
#

you set up your build with your desired red/blue core ratio, and then you decide what buffs/talents to use

#

that's when these sorts of calculations happen

onyx sage
#

if you have low enough red cores, optimist will be better

tawdry flare

#

On pve all red cores I use Spotter talent + Flatline

Also the golden rule of building 1pcs ceska is pretty much the goto

onyx sage

you can get a little more out of obliterate than spotter

@tawdry flare no I'm using this build : using the linked laser pointer attachment to pulse targets, Spotter + Flatline and 3 named items the gift backpack, Fox's kneepads and Contractor's gloves. I have 60% chc and 160% chd

tawdry flare
#

Or another providence pcs

vapid kite

#

I have the fox's kneepads for rifle dmg as well

But I have a GS chest with the same stats and talents as my Fenris one. I can replace it with the gs one

green pumice
vapid kite
tawdry flare
#

And with Providence bonus you can gain +15% chd

#

@tawdry flare I know I'll get more dmg from obliterate but I find spotter to be more consistent

tawdry flare
hexed steppe
#

spotter/flatline is a nice combo

tawdry flare

For more dmg

onyx sage
#

not the point lol

#

spotter is a safe buff that has no downsides

@tawdry flare Hell no I'm done with the Sacrifice, used to play a lot with it but since I traded some dmg for more survivability I enjoy the game a lot more

what rolls do you have that are not crit

6% mod and you get to 60

10 shd + 10 providence + 10 ceska + 30 from red stats

Can someone help me on a good beginner build ?

all my mods are +12% chd

and I don't use crit attachment nor crit chance stat on my weapons

onyx sage

you should be, they're the highest value

hexed steppe
#

yeah thats where your low

tawdry flare
#

10% on weapon you are at 64

onyx sage
#

2 or 3 5% chc mods on gun are assumed to be on by default

chc attachments and you can put grupo for ceska

its gonna be 10 with flatline

Any use for it?
Was going through my stash and saw I had this

onyx sage
#

no

severe wasp
#

@tawdry flare why ? I don't need crit on my Fox's kneepads I'm already at 60% so I switched it with +12% chd

onyx sage
#

the gear pieces should be fine but getting chc on gun is the important change here

onyx sage
#

because that means you can get more chd brands

tawdry flare
#

24+10+10+10+10 on gun =64

severe wasp
#

my bad you were talking about the weapon attachments

onyx sage
#

he said "pieces" in an abstract sense, isn't limited to just gear pieces

untold hearth
#

I need sleep it's 6am, thanks y'all 💤

tawdry flare
severe wasp
#

I'd rather have weapon handling attachments on my weapons (accuracy, stability) that's why I went with chc only coming from my gear pieces

onyx sage
#

and again, those would still be suboptimal because getting weapon handling rolls on gear is more value

#

on gun, chc mods have the highest value

tawdry flare
#

8% on gear vs 5% on mod

onyx sage
#

you can get weapon handling on your gear instead and it would still be better

tawdry flare
#

You can swap 1 pcs to handling on gear and if you have everything right you are at 58chc

severe wasp
#

I always use the +20% stability and - 10% optimal range silencer + the acog sight +30 optimal range to compensate. I really like these 2. allows to have low recoil and keep some dmg in range

onyx sage
#

20% stability can really be traded off with 16% weapon handling which would give 16% acc + 16% stab tbh, and you get no debuff on optimal range

severe wasp
#

true

onyx sage
#

your scope can still remain acog

#

but yeah gun mods aren't really balanced, chc mods are always the best picks if your build is crit-reliant

I believe I'm onto something. Just tried few games in conflict with this build and it did pretty good, even felt good to play with. I've done what you told me regarding weapon attachments so I used the crit attachments to get to 60% chc and replaced the chc with chd stats on the gear pieces. So 60%, 120% crit dmg, 8% dmg to targets out of cover from Fox's kneepads, 1.4 mill armor and +15 weapon handling, +15 fire rate from Striker 3 gear pieces

#

Still can't deal with Ouroboros players tho

who were u fighting to make this build successful petter petter petter

invisible hand is an intersting pick

3 piece striker is more interesting

tawdry flare
severe wasp
#

@round zinc wanted to try +12 fire rate from allegro and +15 from striker combined, still mostly uses the famas

#

Dmg is nearly identical between the 2 weapons since dmg with the famas is 95k and Invisibles hands 110k but lower firerate

#

@tawdry flare I mean it felt strong, downing players pretty fast

tawdry flare

#

only for pvp

blissful rampart

just FYI, 3 pc strikers is a dps loss on all builds. you lose too much for that ROF buff

but there's no way 3 piece striker is better then pieces of anything else

you have space for a contractor a grupo and catharsis or shocker punch

idk frankly I'm just trying and testing builds in pvp i like to experiment. This may not be the strongest but it was pretty fun to play with

onyx sage
#

gear sets besides hotshot you really have to get the 4p talent to be worth it

#

idk who cavalier is in this economy

blissful rampart
#

ALSO fyi, fox/ contractors/ Picaro are a dps loss when your build is lacking chc, since those 3 cant run chc rolls without losing chd. (so ie that 3 strikers build combo and most gear sets in general lack chc)

theres no way ur lacking chc if it's high end

What you go for depends on what you enjoy but there are meta builds everyone should make if you wanna do the very end game content and not just be carried.

Once you get more comfortable you can try some sniping builds and whatnot but yea the pinned spreadsheet has a striker build if you want a guide

balmy fern

I should probably start making loadouts...for now I just swap my guns behind cover asap when moving from outdoor to indoor

vestal ibex
#

It's always hard to suggest what a new player does because you don't want to overwhelm them ya know. I'd pick one build in the spreadsheet and focus on it until you can enjoy heroic content. Then I'd expand from there.

#

Just keep in mind correct stats for a build>perfect rolls on gear.

balmy fern
#

So focus on stats first, perks second?

vestal ibex
#

It would be like this, farm targeted loot for gear/brands try for correct stats and talent over a perfect roll that's irrelevant to your build.

balmy fern
#

Ah that makes sense

#

Been looking at Bracus stuff because 2/3 set means a free Skill Tier +1 so I can move away from looking for that on my other gear and focus more red stuff

vestal ibex

Yeah the build guides are very comprehensive and show alternates and all sorts of options. I'd just read the entire thing, as well as reading the gearset and talents. They can be confusing so ask away if something seems funky. Also keep in mind the green gear sets have a chest and backpack talent and can have a huge impact on that particular gear set or not at all.

I use st elmos engine exotic. Its my go to mainly cuz it stock the enemies to give you a chance to shoot them up. Maybe something to use till you find something better if you own one?
On diff note; Do you know anything about lvl up your expertise? It add 1% weapon damage when you lvl up if* I am understanding that myself. You upgrade proficient in your weapons to make them stronger once you lvl expertise. You found this this at your Recalibration Station. Definitely check that out if you haven't. If you don't know how to do that, I can try my best to explain.

Gun talent or chest/bp talent?

#

Fur gun talents, see above. For chest talents, obliterate, (perfect) glass cannon, (perfect) focus and (perfect) spotter are all viable options, and it,'s gonna depend on tbe rest of your build and playstyle.

dense seal
# dreamy valve By the time pummel activates, the mag would have been refilled before I would do...

This is the same with any HH Shotty build.
The largest difference you will see, and it simply comes down to "perfect plays do not exists". As with any HH build, we start with Reds, then Purples, finally Yellow/Named.
What if there are no Reds? Purples? What if you drop stacks?
KSG base is 594,230 where the M870 is 695,775. With a full build behind it, this is a HUGE difference.

It is not that KSG is a bad choice, it is the 3rd highest base Shotgun, it will work. Though if things ever go that wrong. M870 is a life line, where KSG will resort to mindless spamming, hopes and dreams.

dreamy valve
#

Worked fine for me, after 1 stack of HH was enough to one shot kill a heroic named 4 players, and I had 3 blue cores on

Like I said, "it will work"
But now assume you have no stacks and the only enemy left is a Named Elite.

For anyone else confused, these people seem to be referring to LZ Rogues as "OW Rogues" for some reason.

During event if you are in the oxidizer fog

dreamy valve
#

I just headshotted one a couple times and that started my HH stacks for the others

#

Not my fault some players are bad at fighting them

astral kraken
#

🤦‍♂️

#

No reason to get snarky people.
They could very well be still bugged for some, it wouldn't be the first time this game has had selective bugs.

astral kraken
#

Math doesn't lie. He's saying he's killing the rogues without HH buffs.

#

How much damage you doing without HH buffs and your KSG shotgun?

tawdry flare
astral kraken
#

And elite scaled to 4 person heroic is 16 million HP. And properly scaled heroic rogues are much stronger than that.

#

If you even take into account the 2x buff for reanimated - you're saying you're doing 30+ million damage without HH buffs?

#

Makes no sense

#

What you're describing is only possible if the rogues are scaled down which is what I've seen with every rogue in open world (non control point, non mission).

#

Now if you told me you're dealing 50+ million dmg with your KSG shotgun I'd have some questions but at least that'd invalidate the open world rogue thing.

dreamy valve
#

Who knows, I just shot them point blank in the face a couple times with my KSG and it fell down dead. Rogue Agents have never been a real challenge since when I first played WONY anyways. I have 5 v 1 control point Rogues before as well

#

There’s probably a lot of factors that were happening at once, like the exact loadout I was using at the time, the buffs that were active in the world and in the group, the increasingly buggy nature of the game as Rivens has pointed out, and my experience fighting them for about 4 years now

I hit an open world rogue last night for 50mil and it took around half the armor.
I think they corrected the rogues that were super squishy.
They also only been dropping highend or gear sets, no purples.. 🤷‍♂️

#

I've only had them from cp also since that's all I been running for xp

astral kraken
astral kraken
astral kraken
#

It felt like they had ~2 million HP

hexed steppe
#

I was seeing the squishy rogues everywhere open world, including cp4, until recently. All purple drops.
Note the activity they are triggered from if you're still seeing them.

The mission and summit rogues were always full strength tho.

i have 2 iron lung

#

what should i keep?

cerulean smelt
# slate nest i have 2 iron lung

well, considering you've been optimizing the one on the left might as well commit to it, or keep both and play around with the second one

lethal trellis

hollow pasture
#

I'd keep the rof one

#

Altough it'll take some optimising

slate nest
gentle lichen
#

Which vector version is best? (Excluding ouro)

urban latch
vestal ibex
#

IMO it comes down to being able to one mag an enemy so SBR 45 or at less damage per bullet with a larger mag the SBR 9mm. It depends on the content/scaling you play but which ever you feel more successful with would be your best option.

gentle lichen
#

It's for a ridgeway's pvp build

urban latch
glossy scarab
#

theyre gonna want to run sadist to get the most out of ridgeways

gentle lichen
#

Oh it's for a ridgeway so i would be using sadist

hollow pasture
#

It you wanna run a non oreo vector I'd go with Dark winter

gentle lichen
hollow pasture
#

Yea I typed it before I saw the pvp mention

hazy steeple
#

hey Raucey, what is your opinion on the very fine line between the mp5 variants?
Like, which one would you recommend for a newbie to put Expertise into over the others. Assuming general use, mod slots, etc.

hollow pasture
#

Disregard what I said

gentle lichen
#

Would you run m870 or super90 along with mpx i mean (assuming mpx is main)

vestal ibex
#

Me looking at mp5s stats.... they are the same guns

urban latch
hollow pasture
gentle lichen
#

Yeah but it's more about the m870 vs super 90

vestal ibex
#

MP5A2 is the only one without a long barrel.

gentle lichen
green pumice
#

im so damn bored might as well start farming pvp set what is the meta build atm?

hollow pasture
#

Measured is bad
So yea

slate nest
urban latch
#

Yeah

#

You could also swap in coyotes as well.

magic pilot
#

Super fast reload while still keeping good dmg

slate wedge
#

(apart from oreo)

urban latch
#

It just doesn't have enough damage per mag imo, and with the smaller mag your also getting less out of fast hands

vestal ibex
#

looking at it being 50% less mag damage than the normie SBR 9mm

glossy scarab
#

The regular 9mm sbr is my fav. Fast hands on it works great. I like it's look the best too. downside is it's no good for flatline.

dreamy valve
vestal ibex
#

For a while there rogues were all normal diff. I did get to one shot 5 rogues last night so Idk if that bug is still happening or if I just landed all my M870 shots ya know.

dreamy valve
#

It’s a shame the game is deteriorating faster than they can mend things. I would say to just set aside the next expansion cause who knows what that will break next-maybe the rest of our builds?

orchid cloud
#

Anyone recommends 2 primary weapons to have same talent a.k.a optimist?

magic pilot
#

Not really

#

Better to have 2 separate weapon classes for ammo conservation

#

Talents are all preference tbh

round zinc
#

like i tried it and i like the mp5 but i cant see the difference between all variants

onyx sage
#

because there aren't that many that can fit it

round zinc
#

isn't the mpx the best mp variant

onyx sage
#

it's a completely different gun from all the mp5s

glad heart
#

MPX is not a variant of the MP smgs

urban latch
#

and the MPX has a short barrel

round zinc
#

they all have mp in the name :p

glad heart
#

Two different manufacturers MP is H & K; MPX is Sigg

urban latch
magic pilot
#

Can't believe you said mp5 and mpx are the same

#

Might as well throw in mp7

#

There's a shotgun out there called MP with some numbers after it we can throw that in too

hexed steppe
#

I cant believe anyone would want to run an smg other than oreo 😅

tropic topaz
#

i mean not everyone has oreo

hexed steppe
#

Skill issue 🤣

glossy scarab
#

It's not hard to get

hexed steppe
#

I dont have oreo btw

onyx sage
#

me neither

hexed steppe
#

Cba to worry about getting it

tropic topaz
#

oreo is funny

astral kraken
onyx sage
#

i'd wait for the second coming of scorpio to bother doing another incursion

round zinc
tropic topaz
#

second coming of scorpio?

astral kraken
#

libra

round zinc
#

the AR variant of aug is bad but what about the smg version?

tropic topaz
#

wish i could give my oreo to someone who can use it properly 😔

hollow pasture
#

Whichever invisible hand is on is the good one

round zinc
#

i may not be good with guns but i do have a good roll of mp5

tropic topaz
#

wow you surely do have a lot of guns

round zinc
#

it just dropped with all them free stats lmao

#

mp5 sure does look great with attachments tho

onyx sage
tropic topaz
onyx sage
#

you did not just put digital scope on a vector

glossy scarab
#

With ranger lol

#

Use a safety distance at least

tropic topaz
hexed steppe
#

Secret for reanimated. God mode active

onyx sage
#

bro is sniping the 2 elite snipers in the savannah in legendary zoo

tropic topaz
#

i can't even withstand 3.4x :(

hollow pasture
hazy steeple
#

Because you want a quieter mp5?

#

Supressor's don't actually do anything in div2.

magic pilot
#

Esthetics

hollow pasture
#

I mean it'd look good

magic pilot
#

Tacticool

hollow pasture
#

Same way backfire looks good
Isn't that a mp5

#

Or is it a mpx

magic pilot
#

Mpx

hazy steeple
#

mpx, aye.
What would the stats of this theoretical exotic mp5 be?

hollow pasture
#

Instead of oreo has

hazy steeple
#

But for balance reasons, make it remove half of your Stash with every reload.
that would of course compound, so you'd only lose 50% of what's remaining each time.

hollow pasture
round zinc
#

what if

#

exotic sniper that shoots thru walls

#

and do more damage per m of wall penetrated

hollow pasture
#

That already happens in the dz

round zinc
#

lol

#

i tried backfire again and i think i see the problem

#

the bleed is just neglect-able

#

its just that if its like an AR it would be better

royal nimbus
#

Thats why you make a build that ignores the bleed status.

round zinc
#

you can easily just ignore hazpro by uh

#

getting 200 stacks quick

#

hunters fury,gunner striker

#

15% RPM means you build stacks 15% faster

hollow pasture
#

I think I made a strikers haz pro for it
Still have it somewhere

glossy scarab
#

my striker backfire no bleed build crits 1.3+ mil bodyshots

#

do i use it

round zinc
#

legit would do some nutty damage in the incursion

glossy scarab
#

no

round zinc
#

just use booster hive

#

after you hit 200 stacks you just dont bleed and booster clears al status anyway

#

problem for me is just the general handling of the weapon feels bad

#

poor accuracy and reload speed which is weird since its a mpx

glossy scarab
#

it would be a thousand percent better if staccks decayed instead of disappearing

hexed steppe
#

gl keeping it at 200 stacks outside the range

tawdry flare
#

And incursion and heroic CF and 4 person legendary

royal nimbus
#

I might actually need to redo legendary I may have deleted my mule while it held my big horn

tough linden
#

randomly opened the Named and got this.. is this any good?

urban latch
#

Not with a health roll

#

A chd or hsd roll already on there so you can have an all red version are considered unicorns

tawdry flare
tawdry raven
#

i got really lucky with the hollow man i got from a cache couple months back, slots real well in my backfire build

glossy scarab
#

honestly a plain old yaahl mask with chc/chd is better

tawdry raven
glossy scarab
#

yea forget that

#

but you can craft it if you have mats. and regular vendors sell yaahl from time to time

tawdry raven
#

o i can craft some yaahl gear, just gonna stick with the hollow man tho, flex item kinda

glossy scarab
#

yea thats a keeper still

tawdry raven
#

prob not losing a noticable amount of dmg using hollow man anyways

#

cant wait for christmas so i can get those named items

#

just about the few things im missing is those christmas named items

glossy scarab
#

yeah. chill out mask is all ill be looking for. but i already have enough so maybe not

hollow pasture
#

21% health damage before

#

Back when everyone and their mother ran it

tawdry raven

the smg is a waste of space too
