If anyone wants a fun Combustor chest build let me know cause I use that with Rigger, Waveform, Bluescreen, Flame Turret and the Shrapnel Trap….total blast (pun intended)

#

Also make sure you are using the Technician specialization bump that skill tier from 5 to 6

hexed steppe
#

Sounds like it would do a great job ticking off your teamates with constant shaking while simultaneously doing sub par damage petter

Hopfully you add cap to that to make up some of the loss 💯

#

hmmm

#

intimidate better

pseudo lantern
#

Its essentially a crowd control monster…..teammates can just sit back and enjoy the fireworks

shy willow
#

Restricting yourself to lower difficulties aint it you gotta evolve your builds to move up

pseudo lantern
#

Not when I just wanna have fun with the game with my friends and help them grind

#

Besides I keep better loadouts for higher difficulties like my tank and healer builds

#

Most of the time I make builds to mess around with

#

Besides a build is only as good as the person and their playstyle that suit it

shy willow
#

Letting you know tanks aren't as good as you might think they are

#

In normal content CC is generally preferred over healer as well

pseudo lantern
#

This may be true but I like to think outside the normal box 😝 I make builds that others usually write off and sometimes I will admit they are right but thats why we tinker and tweek our builds right? To make them better

#

But again a person’s playstyle can also improve a build’s effectiveness. Take for example my Combustor Crowd Control build that I have here may not seem impressive to some cause of how they use it. If its used in the right way it can prove to be a nightmare for enemies because you can effectively trap them between flames or explosive proximity traps…either one gives them a status effect and Bluescreen adds additional status effects when someone dies that has been marked

#

As long as you have others marked too that is

urban latch
#

I mean... The build your describing is just straight up bad, there's not really a way around that. You can run whatever you want, but when you start giving out bad advice, you can expect people to push back on the claims your making

I'm using this build in PVE on heroic with 3 dirrectives https://mxswat.github.io/mx-division-builds/#/EwDgtMYAwWCM1E2U1yBcAWAbKh+4BmNRSFc9OSSYyBTTE8p9cYmMpri4ATjHaxmw7uj4DS3KRmDZcjOFXgh+cXjDX5enFMChjCMRtgS5gNGNn7M9lEPIkjmcdPtULcIgKzpC-AOz+YCBewQjMXkA
in countdown I'm using it with 2 red cores (1.5 mil armor)

I also have SMG version with Ouroboros and Sokolov chest (AR is Shield Splinterer and I hate it, too unstable for me compared to Police M4 type of guns), but I'm using it in summit only because closed range shooting is not for me in the open world

is there something I can improve? thanks

shy willow
#

Ditch dark winter and use an acs

restive sundial
#

I was usuing Rock n Roll in all red incursion build with Coyote's Mask, all I remember is I hate to proc striker, that's why I'm not using it's chect or backpack anymore
so shotgun would be better than dark winter?

onyx sage
#

the acs shotguns including rock and roll are how you stack striker the easiest

restive sundial
#

as I remember in incursion I was using Coyote's Mask, Ceska holster and others is striker, all crits + 12*3 protection from elites
but it's too much in open world PVE

onyx sage
#

like if you run all red striker there's no reason to not run backpack

restive sundial
#

I'm using Memento because of 6 blue cores, that way I can pick up a lot of bonus armor
if I switch to striker then that 6 blue cores are nothing

onyx sage
#

also earlier you said all red

onyx sage
#

"all red incursion build"

restive sundial
#

well I've got ouroboros there and I'm not going to get back to that hell with random people, so for now I'm interested in improving something for PVE

onyx sage
#

but to your original question, yes acs is still better than dark winter for stacking AND damage

onyx sage
#

the only problem is just like dark winter, acs chews through ammo real quick

#

i just wanted to comment on all red striker builds, pretty much all of them run the backpack

#

the backpack doesn't incur any penalty

restive sundial
onyx sage
#

use acs-12 with fast hands for now

#

until they fix it

restive sundial
#

never tried that talent, thanks

shy willow
#

Either fast hands acs or lefty helps

onyx sage
#

they just buffed it this update, now each pellet that crits will stack it, previously pellets from the same shot only count together as 1 stack

restive sundial
#

about lefty

Dealing damage with a grenade applies a mark on target
I don't like to use grenades, so acs-12 with fast hands for me

onyx sage
#

it has a 5% rate of fire mod

#

regular acs doesn't have it

restive sundial
#

interesting

onyx sage
#

it's just preference

shy willow
#

General use fast hands probs more practical

onyx sage
#

yeah that 40% is a big amp

#

it's mostly used on spawns and bosses

restive sundial
#

incursion is still weird to me, if you don't have friends then you should care of a lot of stuff

#

I was lucky enough to get ouroboros in the 3rd or 4th incursion chest, and I'm not planning to get back
would be nice to get Eagle Bearer too but it's not gonna happen, I can't find people for raids and I don't think I have any raid build and don't know what to use best

anyway, I'm gonna switch dark winter to acs-12 with fast hands, thanks again

shy willow

I run randoms through it all the time

As I said idek what I was trying to do

Tell me how to, please!

So you see your mask just change that to a hf mask

solar sable

I'm glad I kept it god rolled

And preferably a ceska chest instead of zero f's

tulip charm
#

Yeah

solar sable
#

I'll just put the one I use for strikers

tulip charm
#

You have memento so you don’t really need unbreakable

gentle lichen
#

Talent imo put intimidate. You'll like how it works with memento

solar sable
gentle lichen
#

Yes but your crits won't as good as ceska

#

That's why i was recommending ceska since it is the optimal choice

solar sable

alr, I'll just get to farming

Their loss not mine

#

Wasnt trying to give out pro advice because I dont take the game that seriously

#

Just thought it was a fun build I made thats all

hexed steppe
# pseudo lantern I mean when my skills are killing enemies before I even fire a shot can that rea...

I called it subpar damage because of rigger use. Same could be said for the chest not being glass but I understand you're trying to capitalize on the explosive damage from explosive delivery.

You could make it stronger by using highend pieces. Highend backpack would allow you to add another source of total skill damage.
Personally I would use what you have with a mortar build, mortar has a really low cooldown of 10 seconds and you wouldn't need rigger to cancel cooldowns.

For cc itself you could be using a foam/fire eclipse build where the status keeps spreading as you or team keep killing.

I would also scorpio over blue screen for solid status effect and 7th shot that makes npc take 20% amp damage from any source.

Capacitor also would fit because of the 60% skill damage and the 12% damage to armor that would further increase your explosive skills damage

pseudo lantern
# hexed steppe I called it subpar damage because of rigger use. Same could be said for the ches...

I definitely would agree with this, I have used it with the mortar turret setup before and actually preferred it over the flame turret so I probably should have just started with that. I do agree with Scorpio as being a good choice but definitely think that Capacitor would be better because of the skill dmg bonus based on skill tier level and with it being at tier 6 you would get the full benefits

#

Tbh Rigger was kinda optional to begin with because there are high end gear pieces better suited to go with Combustor and Waveform to increase dmg output as well as help with skill cooldown and dmg

hexed steppe
#

I use this for mortar. I found btsu glove to be really useful.
Mortar is 10 second cooldown, but an overcharge instantly kills cooldown.
Stinger hive also has a super low cooldown which can be thrown out again after partial charge, but oc also refreshes hive for stupid fast cooldown.

Combining this build with your chest would give a lot of explosives damage. Can also shock and awe the bag since combined arms can leave you exposed if not careful.

#

Team also gets the oc so you can reset their revive hives cooldown or boost their skills

pseudo lantern
#

Definitely worth a try when things get fixed on the game after this last update

#

can someone help me make a build via screensharing on ps

#

I dont really have much stuff tho

shy willow
#

Just drop what you've got here and we'll take a look

west vector
#

hoe can I show my whole Inventory sprry im kinda new again

shy willow
#

Don't have to show your inventory just drop your current build in here

#

Or just say what kind of build you wanna go for

west vector
#

just anything thats good rn its kinda bad

shy willow
#

You're on the right track

#

Work on getting a ceska chest with obliterate

#

And make sure everything is rolled to crit chance and damage

#

And replace the gloves with a piece of grupo or rearrange your gear to fit in coyote's or foxes prayer

west vector
shy willow
#

Then work on getting a good ACS12 and a good FAMAS or Saint elmo

shy willow
#

Farm everything you need there

west vector
#

alright I will thank you

#

how do I roll my weapons for attributes?

#

and armour aswell

shy willow
#

Extract them from another gear piece and put them onto your desired piece at the tinkering station

#

Ideally your gear drops with the correct attributes though as you can only recalibrate one slot per item

oh oke i see quite complicated

I have found all the Golan pieces except chest and backpack funny enough

#

I got a Golan chest with tag team

vestal ibex

Well for fire EP best in slot is the chest. The increase to distance and higher duration is really worth it.

rich lotus
#

Can anyone give me an around solid striker st elmos build I follow a few guys videos in YouTube and in still nowhere near their stats? Although I need to lose a piece of strikers somewhere Cos I have 5 on with coyotes mask. What piece should I drop? Chest ?

urban latch
#

Check out the pinned Google doc, there's a strikers guide in there along with a bunch of others.

#

Generally it would be 1p ceska, coyotes, and 4p strikers with the backpack. Whether or not you use the chest is down to what your doing and preference

narrow bough
#

Any tips how to make it more better? I have full crit hit chance and almost 170 hit damage.

patent fossil
#

the obvious issue would be the lack of a decent backpack talent like vigilance - extra brand bonuses from ninjabag are just not as good in most situations

#

if you check the pinned spreadsheet there is a high-end DPS build in there which is the best you're likely to get without going in a different direction (like Striker)

versed summit
narrow bough
#

I like the ninja for giving me extra skill tier. I also like to try out different weapons, than exotics.
I was also thinking about putting chestpiece with a spark talent

onyx sage
#

memento does the same thing but better

gentle lichen
#

You could swap out reds for skill tiers but that would require you to use capacitor

versed summit
#

you're also using the worst rifle in the game.

narrow bough
tulip charm
#

Yeah

narrow bough
onyx sage
#

you can try it out yeah. it's just we all have done so and just collectively came to the conclusion it's just not worth it compared to other backpacks

hexed steppe
# narrow bough with memento i will loose one skill tier and some damage as well. also i use mem...

The reason memento would be a million times better than ninja in this case is 3 fold.

  • 30% skill efficiency is 30% in every skill bucket. (% Skill damage,status effects,skill haste,skill repair, skill duration, skill health.)
    -skill health can basically be considered shield health as that will get stronger with trophy collection.
    -memento will benefit you a minimum of 45% raw weapon damage from long buff+red core.
    If you use cap this would be 52.5% wd from a single item.

I mirror what others have said about using capacitor since it is a hybrid. But I would use glass over oblit/spotter.

I have made a similar hybrid but with more yellow cores and a different focus. Capacitor + harmony rifle are ideal for that type of setup.

some tanks too yea

I think theres some built around higher mobility mortar builds but that may be a PVP thing

I was more looking for full shield builds, but I appreciate the answer

versed summit
pastel crane
#

Fair enough

solar sable

Should I keep it?

rich lotus

Anything with health on it for me = there's better options lol

versed summit
shy willow

You can say you like it but that doesn't make it less terrible

gentle lichen
#

The most placebo gun i ever witnessed imo

#

You lose damage then you gain it back.
You gain rpm then you lose it.
Other than faster stacking initially it literally makes little to no difference in damage

#

Worthless isn't the word
Suboptimal

shy willow
#

You can use it you could just be using something better

versed summit
shy willow
#

Then change your build and playstyle not your weaponry

#

So you recognize your choices are subpar

#

Weapons wise

#

if you're comparing weapons with different use cases maybe

#

If you stack up the apartment to a fast hands or strained mpx it's just worse at the same job

#

Wh-

acoustic coral
#

Fact of the matter is, while you could use your hands to hammer in nails or open a multitude of padlocks - especially if you have calloused hands - you're better of using the intended tool for it (a hammer / the key).
The weapon itself is subpar to other choices from the same categories.

I have a question about regen DZ build
what is better as 3 pieces: Gila Guard or Golan Gear?

2% armor regen is still better than 1.5% even with +5% total armor, so W for Gila Guard
+60% Health is usually useless, +10% Status Effects is nice but I don't use any skills with status effects

yesterday I was farming DZ for Emperor's Guard and I was told that Golan is better for regen builds
no idea if it means I should use 2 Golan for 1.5% regen and something else

the real question is health: does it mean a lot in DZ or I should trade it to Golan for+5% more armor but less armor regen?

dull ermine
#

I mean 60% health in the dz isn’t exactly useless

#

But Golan frees up a brandset

restive sundial
#

so 2 golan + something else?
I checked all brand sets and there's nothing for armor regen (I already use Belstone Armory and Emperor's Guard)

restive sundial
#

since Golan has +10% total armor, I can upgrade each part to 25 expertise and get a lot of armor compared to 5% total armor, but I'll miss the +60% health and 0.5% armor regen
I think the regen part is fine, but still not sure about the loss of +60% health

versed summit
restive sundial
#

I know, it only affects your base armor, but 25 lvl is almost one blue core

#

and more armor is better for regen builds only

versed summit
restive sundial
#

I get 5-7 exotics every day in open world for 1.5-2 hours on heroic with 3 directives, so I don't think it's a problem
anyway, I don't like regen builds so it's for DZ only, and I think I can afford 25 expertise there

but before I start spending a lot of resources I would like to get the best solo DZ regen build
for now I'm using Belstone Armory, Emperor's Guard, Memento and 3 Gila Guard
with 3 Golan I can get more armor and this idea looks interesting to me

I just not sure if 60% health is a big deal in DZ or 10% total armor with 25 expertise would be better
or even 2 Golan + something else

acoustic coral
#

@rich lotus Wouldn't the total armor benefit him the most? Health has no real benefit as there's no HP regen, no specific stat to protect him once armor is gone.

And. Isn't it 25 expertise across the board for what is about an armor core?

restive sundial
#

base armor is 131+158+80+80+112+99=660k
25% is 165k, and one blue core is 170k
26% is 171600 and it's already more than one blue core, so in theory if we can get new gear then 26 expertise will give you one free blue core

rich lotus
#

Any armor type > health, any day

tawdry flare
rich lotus
restive sundial
#

so I should switch from 3 Gila Guard to Golan

rich lotus
#

1 extra blue core is a LOT specially in pvp

rich lotus
#

But at the same time you can have an extra piece that would be game changing ig

restive sundial
#

0.5% less regen is fine, but I wasn't sure about that 60% health buff, it sounds big

rich lotus
#

Nah health is completely useless

#

And if they're using an AR your health will vanish in a blink

#

It's one of those stats that are there just to f your RNG up imo lol

restive sundial
rich lotus
#

What's the whole build look like

#

And is it pve or pvp

restive sundial
#

just for DZ

right now Belstone Armory, Emperor's Guard, Memento and 3 Gila Guard
everything up to 60 chc and over 100% chd
and with 5k regen on each gear except memento

guns: Ouroboros, Shield Splinterer
skills: decoy + defender drone

rich lotus
#

What backpack and chest talent?

#

Haven't seen a regen ouro in a while imma be honest it's mostly regen headshot lol

restive sundial
#

forgot about it, backpack is Memento, Belstone Armory with unbreakable

#

I'm completely fine with guns damage, ouro just works everywhere (20 expertise for now)

rich lotus
#

I'd personally run that build but slightly differently but they way it is it works

#

I would prob do something like Catharsis + Emperor's + Belstone + 2x Golan with something like matador/picaro's or you can even get 3x gila with AD rush

#

I have a gila backpack with vigilance that works good as well for when you're lazering from a far but it becoems futile when at close range

#

Memento could be a pain to use on that build but I'm not sure sure

restive sundial
#

I like Memento because of 60% bonus armor, and at 30 stacks it's really good
and it's easy to get 30 kills with ouro
I was farming DZ yesterday, got 3 Emperor’s Guard, killed about 7 or 8 rogues and died twice

#

and one guy told me to use Golan instead of Gila Guard so I ended up being here

rich lotus
restive sundial
#

kneepads were targeted loot yesterday

rich lotus
#

Well the benefit of golan is you get the regen still but you lose a tiny portion of it along the total armor from gila at the cost of 1 additional slot

rich lotus
restive sundial
#

so.. I think I'll just switch to 3 Golan, I really like that 10% total armor and I don't know what to use in a free slot because guns damage is already fine
thanks

rich lotus
#

That works too, my say on this specially when it comes to regen build is try until you think it works for you

rich lotus
#

Wait why full full blue

#

Arm regen + hazpro?

magic pilot
#

Yea

rich lotus
#

Gonna be tickling people

I've been getting pretty bored from the game overall I might give descent another go

tulip charm

they should expand this store, there should be more perm bonuses

gentle lichen
#

Save your nsa tech for reconstructed caches

restive sundial
#

Extra talent choice is a must buy

#

Currency gain is too expensive, but can help you to reroll talents a few times more

#

overall, this mode is not fun at all compared to summit because you are weak and your gear is always bad thanks to rng
it would be better to get a lot more perma perks in the store, even at a higher price

any good builds?
not using ninjabike
not using ridgeway

nope, NNB is bad because backpack talents exist and also memento.

ninjaback is mostly bad because 2 piece gear set boni suck pretty badly compared to backpack talents

blissful rampart

also true ^^

tulip charm

eh it just run hf with memento ceska obliterate and you can easily clear solo heroic

#

Its super easy to build

restive sundial

I'm using this in PVE on heroic (don't look at the second gun lol), everything works fine but it could be because of expertise idk

what back pack talants will out perform 15% weapon dmg on NBP im running legendary solo btw

blissful rampart
#

all of them

tulip charm

aint no way 💀

versed summit

if you get hit when your using composure you lose the dmg and what will buff the shield?

onyx sage
stoic tendon
#

30% vs 25? that is constant

onyx sage
#

vigilance is total weapon damage

blissful rampart
#

if you still want those 2 skill tiers that Ninja bag gives you can freely run 1 blue and 1 yellow core on your other gear pieces and use a normal backpack talent and you will still be stronger then running ninja bag.

tulip charm
#

I dont think he understand the difference between damage multiplier

#

like wd and twd etc

blissful rampart
#

not an amp

onyx sage
#

but basically vigilance very stronk

blissful rampart
#

twd = multiplier

tulip charm
#

yeah thats what I mean

onyx sage
#

can't be replaced most of the time

stoic tendon
#

the only multiplicativ dmg i know of are crit and crit hit dmg whit headshot dmg

blissful rampart
#

nope

patent elm
#

headshot and crit dmg are actually the same multiplier

versed summit
patent elm
#

fair enough

stoic tendon
#

so my ridge way whit perfekt wicked will do more dmg then as its multiplicativ

versed summit
#

perfect wicked isn't really worth running tbh

#

normal wicked on a Grupo/ceska BP would work a lil better

blissful rampart
hazy steeple
#

tl;dr of the tl;dr when the math nerds start talking, just respond with things like "ooh i see" and "neat!"

blissful rampart
#

ie a crit on a headshot is NOT chd x HSD its (CHD + HSD)

onyx sage
#

"multiplicative damage" is kind of a misnomer. i suggest if you don't understand the formula right now, don't look at something as "multiplicative" and thinking it's good. usually it's not the case.

just listen to us when we say something is good

hexed steppe
#

or check the pinned sheet for known good setups

blissful rampart
#

the pin has a quick and easy dps calc too, that makes it easy, if you like.

stoic tendon
#

still its faster to run and smother whit NBP and picaro and 3 hunter fury as this is no ramp and i have the survivability i need so faster times so far for legendary solo

versed summit
blissful rampart
#

ah i see what you mean. but not sure what to call that part (still not separate multiplier because they are both additive when it happens)

tulip charm
blissful rampart
stoic tendon
#

just if i take dmg i dont have to wait for the dmg agen

blissful rampart
#

ie ceska wicked says hi

onyx sage
#

if you use a shield, damage to shield doesn't disable vigilance. but yeah wicked exists

stoic tendon
#

i have 4 cores for shield and 2 for my reviver hive

tulip charm
#

Memento gives the same cores as nbb

blissful rampart
#

^^

tulip charm
#

and also buffs skills aswell

vestal ibex
#

Reviver doesn't matter solo?

tulip charm
#

Eh

#

better to run emp than revive for leg imo

stoic tendon
#

but you will not get all 3 cores from picc

onyx sage
#

as in cores for reviver doesn't matter solo, yeah

onyx sage
blissful rampart
#

using high end backpack and rerolling cores to gain 1 blue and 1 yellow = same cores for shield and skills as Ninja bag BUT higher dps because gain backpack talent.

onyx sage
#

memento buffs are stronger than brand buffs

tulip charm
#

But you get bonus armor, skill efficiency and weapon damage from memento

onyx sage
#

the 2p and 3p brand buffs are mostly trash

BASE * (AWD+SWD) * TWD * (CHD+HSD) * DTA or DTH * DTTOOC * Other Multipliers (AMPS)

To simplify it, you could say:

WD from brands goes to the first part of the calculation and doesn't affect the total nearly as much. (forgot to calc it all out)

20.000 * 2.3 * 1.25 * (2.7 + 1.55) * 1.1 * 1.1 * AMPS (something ish) = 295.693,75

its kinda hard to run full red builds solo on legendary. and the tip i did get her was 2 blue cores. sadist is multiplicative as well. and that is upp almost every target on an ridgeway build. i prefer smg any day over an arm build as i get better ttk

onyx sage
#

AR is best for full red solo leg because you can't stay close, so SMGs fall off in viability

rich lotus
#

Even then you could just use striker + elmos and do good

stoic tendon

#

if you want to do them fast you go striker elmo lol

#

you can clear DUA sub 20 with striker elmo

rich lotus

That's the whole reason why I run sniper build

and sniper with determined headhunter is one of the fastest ways to clear

Oh solo ok yeah then striker elmo is your way to go

no, i always run coyote

DCH is always an option too over coyotes. lower average dps but gain pocket nuke, well worth the trade since strikers already has high average dps

Scorpio

hazy steeple
#

@half cosmos It depends on what you want to use it for, and in what build.
nothing in div2 exists in a vacuum.

half cosmos
#

I mainly have a pure damage focused striker or meme skill tier OD and ND

#

And their pure damage builds

#

The od one stays with Scorpio no brainer

hazy steeple

Well for example; on Striker, Scorpio won't be helpful.

Scorpio is insane with strikers

#

its funny

hazy steeple
#

Insane as in a crazy person picks it, sure.

tulip charm
#

Ig Im crazy then.

half cosmos
hazy steeple
#

Uh well basically the idea of Strikers is to use a gun to build up the stacks, and your other gun to deal the damage when they are.

#

The most common choice for strikers is an acs-12 and a good high-end AR w/strained or other good talent.

#

(you can also use an Ouroboros instead and it fills both roles, but it's meant to be played at a somewhat closer distance and is tough to get compared to high-end stuff)

half cosmos
#

Oh so ar to stack up then marksmen to damage?

hazy steeple
#

Uh no, the shotgun (acs-12) to stack (since the pellets count) and the AR to kill.

half cosmos
#

Oh right my bad

hazy steeple
#

all good, this game uses way too many terms.

#

like how it uses cqb instead of cqc for close play.

half cosmos
#

So a dw and strained build is no go?

#

On striker

#

Sorry if i sound stupid still getting a bit of hang finally abouts to touch 200 lev

hazy steeple
#

Nah you're all good, everyone started out where you are now.

#

The DW (vector) there could be used to build stacks, but it's going to be weaker than using a shotgun like the acs or similar.
You could get away with it, but you're not going to be seeing the same kinda crazy build that you might see people talk about.

half cosmos
#

I dont like shotguns exept scorpio honestly

flint wave
half cosmos

Ouroboros is a solid choice for your Striker instead as I mentioned, and it fills both roles so you can put on something longer range for emergency situations.

#

(I like to use an m1-a rifle with it, socom my beloved)

hazy steeple

You get really attached to certain items in this game and it can give you blinders.

just to keep this as build advice, you can always throw Scorpio and the DW into a Hunters Fury setup and enjoy it.

Mostly joking around because so many people blindly suggest the Scorpio despite it having some serious drawbacks.

hmmmm change more to "amplified damage" and its correct. more is too vague imho.

it's a subtle enough hint for some folks to know it applies to headhunter damage too 😉

blissful rampart
#

well HH is its own can of worms lol

onyx sage
#

that's why the more hints the better

#

"receiving more/amplified damage" = works with headhunter, as seen on scorpio and opportunistic

dull ermine
#

What is it that causes the chain killing of determined?

Determined or HH?

vestal ibex
#

Both.

#

You can get determined to work without HH on lower diffs as long as you have enough damage to one shot. HH just makes it viable at higher difficulties.

dull ermine
#

The body shot chain killing

hexed steppe
#

hh sees the body shots as headshots if determined is procced. same with hotshot

vestal ibex
dull ermine
#

Localdeck explained it thanks

#

Basically I was wondering which talent overrides the other

vestal ibex
#

They work together tho? There isn't any overriding.

dull ermine
#

It’s headhunter that keeps proccing determined once it’s procced so the talent affected is headhunter

vestal ibex
#

Headhunters has two conditions to be maintained. Headshot? Does shot kill? Determined is just a buggy mess and has only one condition. While buff is active did I kill said target? While you might think this means sick chains for days, shots to enemies that don't have a proper head will fail HH checks and you'll drop it while you may keep determined after the target dies.

half cosmos

I want to ask for my friend he sorta made a on paper decent headshoting build with mantis but he says it does not proc even on hearshots

vestal ibex
half cosmos
#

Right my bad sleepy brain no think will send tomorrow

acoustic coral
vestal ibex

hexed steppe
#

The only important part is that determined can reproc on any killshot after the first genuine headshot kill.
That's the part that makes it broken strong.

As I think it was stated, warhounds/minitanks drop headhunter, but if its a kill itll maintain determined and I think hotshot since it's just looking at headshot condition of the shot.

Helmets cause both procs to drop and you'll need another genuine headshot kill the restart the chain*.

I think we need a clear copy/pasta for explaining this consistently.

Another thing to note Ig is that hotshot 4pc still proc on any headshot

Is headshot damage or weapon damage more important for sniper builds?

rich lotus

both

shy willow
#

Weapon damage realistically

#

Snipers are innately stacked with HSD and if it's rolled on gear too you'll have a bunch

rich lotus
#

@magic pilot To each his own and i know obliterate chests are favored by most, but im of the mind that if youre running content before legendary you really dont need the damage from either the striker chest or obliterate, and if you are running legendary or incursion youre shooting enough and you want the extra damage the striker chest provides. am i wrong?

shy willow
#

The guy is currently running intim with no bonus armour source

#

Obliterate is free damage if you're running a crit based build

rich lotus
#

i meant in general not related to the OP

shy willow
#

Even in general obliterate is a very good chest talent

#

Especially on striker

#

They both rely on stacking so they go hand in hand

tulip charm
rich lotus
#

Do you prefer it even on legendary missions over the striker chest?

tulip charm
#

Well it depends if you can maintain 150+ in leg

shy willow
#

You need to consistently maintain 150 stacks for it to be better than obliterate

tulip charm
#

If you can run striker chest if you cant obliterate

rich lotus
#

@tulip charm that's a very sensible idea

#

I don't know the math, but since Obliterate is a different form on amplified damage than strikers isnt it actually worth more than 50 strikers stacks?

signal pivot
tulip charm
#

Yeah

tulip charm
onyx sage
#

striker (with backpack) basically gives you an amp that starts at 1.01 and maxes out at 2 (at 100 stacks). striker chest makes it go to 3 (200 stacks)

#

however, your damage is a product of many things, including total weapon damage and striker amp obviously.

#

striker + obliterate means you're multiplying 2 (striker at 100 stacks) with 1.25 (obliterate at 25 stacks) to get 2.5, which is equivalent to running striker stacks and landing at 150 stacks (because it's 1 + 0.01 x 150 stacks = 2.5).

considering you're going from 2 without obliterate to 2.5 with obliterate, you can say that obliterate is a 1.25x equivalent multiplicative increase (what people refer to as "amp" but can be confusing)

#

striker with striker chest makes you go from 2 to 3 at max stacks, which is a 1.5x equivalent multiplicative increase.

#

so, if you can maintain max stacks or be consistently higher than 150 stacks, striker chest is a better "amp" than obliterate

magic pilot

i've found striker chest to be very consistent for me in both solo and groups but i play very aggressive

You want crit chance / crit damage on your rolls

Instead of Sokolova run ceska - I’m assuming that’s dark winter, it’s fine but the talent needs to procced on kill which means there’s a chance it won’t be active all the time

#

You want your crit chance to be 60%

#

See the list above this post as to what attributes you should prioritize your shd watch points

#

Talents you want obliterate on chest… backpack is up to you, could go with concussion, wicked, etc

Nah if you put them somewhere else just focus on putting the rest towards the ones listed

Oh sure that's what I use it for as it 1-taps, but after you've killed the 30 enemies with it, back to the cupboard.

#

Keep it in build at least till it is proficient. Save yourself 227-300 shd points if you level it with xp use 😎

shy willow
#

I ought to get to grinding expertise but I reckon I'll get field research and any remaining SHD tech first

hazy steeple
#

Expertise is really best done as a background thing, I just did it mainly whilst doing other stuff.

#

Apparel Events/GE's are best for sure. Since they basically require level ups.

are the pieces for my heart breaker lmg build good? i know i need to replace the blue attributes

versed summit
tulip charm
#

Well one you need a ceska piece somewhere

gentle lichen
#

You got 6 items that you can only roll 1 attribute on

tulip charm
#

also hb backpack kinda sucks

gentle lichen
#

This is detrimental for your crits immensely

tulip charm
#

oh can rpk or l86 run tech laser?

woeful swift
#

how different are the stats between the ak-m and the military ak-m?

versed summit
versed summit
woeful swift
#

does that take into account having the muzzle slot that the normal ak-m doesn't?

versed summit
woeful swift
#

okay, cool

#

i just realized i had a pretty decent military ak-m in my stash that i wanted to try out, only issue is having chc instead of dttoc

tulip charm
#

ak-m higher damage no muzzle so -5% chc

versed summit
woeful swift
#

okay, cool, that's perfect for me

hexed steppe
#

But honestly should just run striker. Hb is limited and sub par in comparison...

serene hare
#

Which talent is good for AR to pair with Striker?

solar sable
serene hare
#

I normally use it, but I wanna be sure this is actually a good option or what else can I use.

Dark Zone is the only way to farm money?

Let's say I want to run System Corruption in DZ as a Solo, what would be a good Specialization to run with it?

serene hare
#

Haven't tried it in Countdown yet, but in DZ it melts everything.

#

hey guys my div2 kinda slow and laggy this week that its unplayable. any fix u guys know i can work on?

#

im on pc btw

onyx sage
#

not the channel to ask that

signal pivot
#

Is health or armor damage better for sniper builds?

onyx sage
#

armor damage or dttooc

#

health damage isn't worth it

serene hare
#

My sniper build have become extremely strong.

signal pivot
#

is legendary meant for 4 people? or is it soloable

serene hare
#

Trust me, you really gonna struggle doing solo.

#

You can do it, I think, but it's so damn stressful.

#

I rather to chop off a ballsack and keep only 2 than doing strongholds on legendary (or any mission, actually).

#

Maybe because my builds are not meant to work solo doing those kind of missions, but yeah.

acoustic coral
#

Legendary content ranked by how easy it is to learn/solo:

  • Summit
  • DUA
  • Roosevelt
  • Capitol
  • Manning / Tidal
#

@onyx sage correct me if I'm wrong

serene hare
#

@onyx sage There are some rule that after fully optimizing a gear part, you can no longer modify it?

#

For some reason, I can't remove the HSD from my fox thing.

acoustic coral
#

What do you mean by that? And why did you tag him specifically?
You can fully optimize every stat on gear

#

Wait, hmm, that might be a thing, yeah.

serene hare
#

This is so dumb.

#

I need to get another one.

acoustic coral
#

Just get another pair of foxes, 1-2 runs of countdown and you'll have it div2shrug

hexed steppe
#

Optimising locks the attribute/core

acoustic coral
#

I have 2 or 3 of them for different builds.

serene hare
#

It makes no sense.

hexed steppe
#

Dont optimise pieces that arent set in stone

acoustic coral
#

It makes a lot of sense - but why would you reconfigure something you've optimized? lmao

hexed steppe
#

Simple

serene hare
acoustic coral

Well now you know what not to do when a piece needs to be flexible

(buy a carrot, bite the carrot, don't like it, complain to the grocery for a refund)

Like mentioned farm 3 more. Leave the hsd, then grab a chc ,chd, skill damage set and you're covered for foxs

I like your sense of humour, rudy

gentle lichen
hexed steppe
#

That, I did not know div2salute

gentle lichen
#

Optimisation go poof

#

I realised i initially mentioned the person who didn't need the advise desperately lol

solar sable
#

ah wait u alr did

gentle lichen
#

It also removes recalibration to make you tweak the piece in a different way than you initially did

serene hare
gentle lichen
#

Yeah i once used a fenris bag that i rolled armor and optimised but decided it wasn't good

#

Then i sold and bought back to keep the red core

serene hare
#

I'd kiss you if I could.

hexed steppe
gentle lichen
#

But you ain't getting the materials you put on the item to optimise it back

hexed steppe
#

thats fine

#

mats are cheap

onyx sage

wony run fixes all the cost

I really need a better Ceska chestpiece, dammit.

Sell your soul and buy it back

Basically everything in my striker build is fine but this thing.

gentle lichen
#

If you're smg or elmo the dps isn't taking THAT much of a punch

serene hare
#

It is a CTAR-21

#

I'm keeping it because of the 4 crit mods

onyx sage
#

every gun can take those mods

#

the mods are pretty much universal

serene hare
#

Some don't go on it, and when they do, you only have 30 bullets.

onyx sage
#

you don't have all the blueprints then

flint wave
#

some guns have 3 mods it is what it ispetter

onyx sage
#

you should be farming blueprints if you don't have all

flint wave
#

Also short and long rail prevents some mods from being attached

serene hare
#

I think I'm doing fine for now, it still only placeholding.

onyx sage
#

yeah i know, i'm just saying ctar taking crit mods is nothing special, a better gun also takes the same mods

serene hare
#

Honestly I like this one more.

#

The damage is pretty high and the fire rate is not as slow as an AK for example

flint wave
#

ROF matters because quite a few things require stacking

serene hare
#

I think this is my favorite AR so far, I've been using it for a long time.

#

I just wish the stats was a little bit stronger, but is working just fine.

signal pivot
serene hare
#

There's any LMG in this game that is actually good?
Bluescreen seems interesting, but Idk, it's really worth it?

#

Bullet King is pretty bad, Pestilence is... weird (I remember seeing it working in the past, I think).

onyx sage
#

how fast is fast? if you take the same time as in heroic, it's fast

tidal valve
#

iirc, pestilence had a talent that has a damage per tick or i always called it DoT (Damage Overtime)

serene hare
#

Yes, and it's 100% scaled with weapon damage

#

What makes me a little bit annoyed with LMGs is to not be able to use with shields.

#

I can understand why, but the weapon somehow feels unsafe to use.

onyx sage
#

it scales off weapon damage and amps

fresh grove
tidal valve
onyx sage
serene hare
#

I think Tabula Rasa is somewhat interesting, but Idk

shy willow
#

Sleipnir, RPK, L86, Iron Lung

#

I quite like new reliable

shy willow
serene hare
#

That's why it's interesting, because the idea is good

#

But it's poorly designed, not working properly.

#

I think this is the LMG that made me kinda happy because of how much stable it is, but at the same time it feels kinda sluggish

shy willow
#

For an LMG to be good it needs a lot of burst DPS cuz you can't use the crusader with it so you're completely exposed when firing

serene hare
#

This is what makes me annoyed with LMGs

onyx sage
#

also the curse of the suppressed

serene hare
#

Ugh

onyx sage
#

iron lung is my only favorite lmg because it actively counteracts this drawback with burn

#

bluescreen works too but the low rpm sucks

shy willow
#

It's a pretty great gun but I don't see many use it

tulip charm
#

Its because of the lmg stigma

marsh lion
#

Im a returning player and want to start running raids. what builds am I to start farming?

tulip charm
#

It is currently the best exotic lmg in terms of dps and it can mitigate suppression

marsh lion
#

how many red and blue cores

tulip charm
#

Full red

shy willow
#

Don't need blues

marsh lion
#

memento?

tulip charm
#

No

shy willow
#

Healer will keep you alive

shy willow
tulip charm
#

Memento is not good in groups especially in raids

#

For Dark Hours run 4 pieces striker /w chest and back, coyotes mask (even though tons of people run it), and a ceska piece.

marsh lion
#

kk

shy willow
#

No need run obliterate ceska

tulip charm
#

Iron Horse replace striker chest for ceska chest with obliterate

shy willow
#

And don't listen to anyone telling you you can't run strikers it's perfectly fine even if in one or two encounters it's hard to build stacks

marsh lion
#

what skills

shy willow
#

Crusader/striker shield and revive hive/decoy/assault turret

onyx sage
flint wave
#

no one plays this game for thousands of hours, so i must be cheating

shrewd scarab
#

hi im kinda new in this game i just finishe the dlc and i want to get the striker gear where do i get that?

onyx sage
#

select striker as targeted loot and play the mode

shrewd scarab
#

is it hard cuz i just reached level 40

onyx sage
#

no, challenging is easily carried by a few people in the lobby. there are 8 players in it

shrewd scarab
#

oh i see thank u

#

matchmaking is taking forever lol

warm socket
#

Is the ravonous mostly used for pvp or pve

dull ermine
#

Pve

#

Generally during the raids

hazy steeple
#

in the case of Countdown though, it should be working within seconds. Make sure you're on the right difficulty (Chall) and your group isn't set to "closed".

is there a known percentage% drop rate of the St Elmo's engine?

acoustic coral
#

Same droprate as every other general loot pool exotic. RNG be RNG

#

AR exotics in the Target Loot pool:

  • Chameleon
  • St. Elmo's Engine
  • Capacitor (if you have the blueprint)
    There's about 30 +- (depends on how many blueprints you've unlocked) in the Exotic Cache lootpool.
tight isle
#

Who had the most dmg here ?

urban latch
#

Toxic

#

You were second

tight isle
#

Why is my -number higher

#

The star only mean you got more stars in the category right

#

Or is it just glitched

urban latch
#

The level cap was 30 when the game came out, so the devs didn't expect to have us doing more than 2.1 billion damage, which is a common cap for coding reasons. So when we go over that it rolls over to negative 2.1 billion, and starts counting up from there

tight isle
#

So the one with the star on dmg allways has higher dmg

urban latch
#

Yeah it's correct in a round about way

tight isle
#

Ok thx

#

Ok. I'll see about a video to see if I can learn how to do the third person. I think I still remember the spots where you peek from.

onyx sage
#

get some practice and use 2 utility skills like sticky emp and decoy, instead of using a shield

#

yeah, feel free to visit my channel

#

the basic rule is this: stand just far enough from cover and peek out from it

rich lotus
#

I'm watching this video right now where this guy solos it using headhunter build.

onyx sage
#

headhunter strats are a lot different and riskier so probably not very applicable to striker roles

rich lotus
#

Yeah
