Legatus might be top tier if the game was only the target range
Hello fellow Agents. Is there any "go-to-build" for the new Lexington out there 🙂 ? I've seen a Striker build with the Centurion holster, but I was wondering if there is any other. Maybe any better ones 🙂
Any build that you used Elmo you can use Lex.
Worth building?
For pvp? It's good to have a haz pro build, but even with as good as the backfire is now I wouldn't use it in pvp.
For pve, no
am I fine not running any hazpro on a backfire build? thinking about just using a memento + HF setup
yeah, you don't need it tbh
just take the few bleed hits initially until you full stack backfire
Nah I need 2 blue cores, full bleed resistance and PFE mods. I also watch Fog of War on YouTube
anyone got a bighorn PVP build?
📌 Spreadsheet
Anyone got a good elmos build?
Literally anything
You can quite literally slap elmos on anything
St. Elmo's yellow striker build
doesn’t have any 😰
That's not even a joke, that would work, due to how broken Striker still is.
Whats that build look like
an abomination, that's what it is
blame PvP Guy
Stolen from reddit post.
Holy moly
it doesnt do tons of damage but it does have funny regen and heals
switch to survivalist if you want to have the very fair and balanced kits
There's no way that's a good build
the striker or the pvp 1 I stole?
Pretty much any build that includes the ninjabag (nbb), is going to be considered "not good", to say the least.
@magic pilot Don't be weird.
I'm not being weird, running a shit pvp build is probably due to not playing pvp enough
I mean that objectively
Looking up someone's profile to prove them wrong is weird, and also breaks #rules #12, if you want a specific reason.
All things considered, I think the issue with ninja bike is less so the actual exotic and more so the fact that there just aren’t a lot of good options for multiple brand bonuses
Yea I don't think that falls under rule 12. I respectfully disagree but respect your authority
Will not do in the future
All in all, it just makes for a nicer server. Ta.
anyway, my biggest issue with NBB is that it's basically a weaker Memento, and that it takes up a backpack Talent in place of that.
There's quite a few things wrong with that build
- Technician
- Minor attributes
- Yellow cores
- NBB
- Unbreakable
thats fair
whats wrong with Unbreakable? I see tons of people running it?
Everyday carry is just better
Bighorn builds are good because you can make them super tanky and use bighorn talent to deal tons of dmg
Your version lacks upfront dmg and has basically no survivability
No catharsis or ad rush, only 4 blue
You are basically relying on foaming someone
Which my bighorn version directly counters with hazpro
its not a foam its a heal chem
That's even worse somehow
its not for rushing somebody its to hold your ground. pop hive, throw down 2 chem zones
Are you on rn?
yes and no
Which means?
im constantly playing and then stopping every few min
Ah
what the frick is this mate
Measured is better than optimist now
What's going on??
Oh God...
^
EW EW EW EW EW
SCADA SCADEEN GET THAT SHIT OFF MY SCREEN
there is a link to a video of the person using it.
Ninjabike, striker, repair and armor Regen???? You'll do perpetually no damage. There's not enough Regen to even counter a max Regen build. Let alone a firewall medkit pop. Why rely on skills to keep you alive? Armor Regen and catharsis should plenty keep you alive while you dodge and weave
The downtime on skills is massive compared to catharsis downtime
yea hes on xbox
Including Ad Rush for a backpack talent. It's a must
ok?
controller players are uhhhh
not the greatest
keep in mind, i played console for 15 years
Ive exclusively played div 1 & 2 on controller div1 on xbox and now 2 on pc
New to division 2 pc?
I promise you mouse and keyboard players would stomp you in DZ if they caught you with that build on
M&K > controller is an always
i have killed people with it. I mainly pve in the dz
Well yes but this is a build based game
True but can it keep you alive to fight 4 at once?
If im near 4 people at once that are rouge is a awareness issue not a build issue
But what if you're rogue though is also what I mean
What makes a great PvP build is something that can knock out DZ pve content but also hang against rogues. it also functions well as a rogue too. What goes into a good pvp build is:
Is it well rounded? Do I good enough damage while maintaining health? Is it versatile? Can I fight more than 1 person with it? Can I use it against rogues or against SHD?
It's why umbra and striker are solid options. High end builds, ninjabike builds, heartbreaker, even System Corruption is still around
I never stated it was a great pvp build. its a quick build I made that can kill somebody if needed & do landmarks fast.
That is true, but it can be so much better/improved
atm my pvp build goal is to steal this thing lol
Virginian occasionally goes on sale in DZ vendors
it is on sale rn in the west
It's gonna sound dumb, but if you wanna farm credits easy, just VPN to a different country where there would be low playercount and roam the dz landmarks
Oh I dont need credits I have about 400
I've had over 2k at one point
Neat.
Spent it all on exotic caches. Heavily disappointed
No backfire :(
.-.
misspelled exotic component
NO! Backfire is so good now. Hazpro umbra with that is crazy fun
It's my favorite build this season
would love to see your setup. never used umbra before
That new chest for master difficulty I'm certain will be a misspelled exotic component 😂
Ninjabike, 3 pc umbra, Yaahl, ceska
Haz prot up to 60% and use bleed resis mods
Or, go full haz prot
Full hazpro makes that one modifier easy to counter 😂
umbra chest?
Yes. That's a must. Double the crit damage, double the fire rate
Makes it easy to farm for too
My build has I think 3 blue cores? Possibly 4
I've got the setup saved somewhere lemme find it
It's not even in the exp menu.
It's not in the game just yet for the exp menus
Be aware due to Ceska buffs, the stats on this build will be a little bit better for hazard protection. You'll also see more damage due to Yaahl buff
I left my holster blue, since it comes with a blue attribute. I rolled my umbra chest to blue as well. I believe with the new buffs, this build will be 100% haz pro
Got the green light from me. I'd ditch the seeker for a defender drone
The reduction on that is crucial in DZ. Gets crazier with expertise and skill tiers
It's such a fun gun to use on umbra. Melts, pun intended too, everything in it's path. Good for all ranges of gunfights
You missed it
any new development?
We got a doozy
ok thats a terrible pvp build whats next
Local hates backfire still
And then now here we are, giving meta umbra build advice because we are content starved and making DZ trips for new content
What kind of build should I make?? Looking for a solid one for pve I have every exotic in the game except the ones from y6? I used to love to run the ourobouros but heard of how good the Lexington is.
What are you looking for
What build website should I use?
check pinned messages bro
the yellow are haste/dmg correct?
yeah, skill damage and haste
you can add status but it just improves the bleed
so not worth
any dta you can put on the build will improve damage as well, but the btsu oc out performs contractors gloves
cap and shotguns both have 12% dta

Could the development team consider releasing the hunter models from the game's maps and levels as cosmetic outfit sets? I really like these skins
, and could you also add a weapon accessory customization feature? Some accessories feel awkward when equipped.
This channel is more for advice about builds, but if you want to make suggestions to the team, your best bet is to put in a Ticket, they don't really keep a close eye on the day-to-day of this Server.
Hi, i just started playing last week, can anyone tell me as to where i can farm for the backfire smg?
If you haven't hit lvl40 yet, don't bother
anyway, you can find it anywhere with SMG targeted loot
526% CHD, MAX CRIT CHANCE, & 1.6M Armor! Backfire Umbra Build
Top comment said they'd rather have 400% crit damage with 100% hazard protection. I'll give Kamikaze credit, build hits hard. But I'm noticing he ran away from skills way too much due to Status effects. He wouldn't have that issue with haz pro. He's also heavily relying on the booster hive to keep the bleed at bay. That's just annoying to have to keep track of
It's not hard to get full haz pro umbra and it'd be more beneficial for you in the end
isnt it like 70% or something bleed hazpro and its immune?
i cant remeber the exact % to be immune to bleed
Across the board 90's is my fair rule of thumb to aim for. You could go 60% haz pro and use 3 bleed resis mods and be immune to bleed that way
ah fair
Still, why stop at 60 and only be immune to bleed? You might as well go full send for 100
striker hazpro gaming c:
Can be done, I could probably make a build template for it
i got one
its aight nothing special
idk i have an idea for a biggie hazpro hs strikers but theres already the funny biggie armor regen build anyway
Site still needs to be updated but we know Ceska offers I think 20 or 30 hazpro due to its 2nd bonus buff this season. Basically just tack on the buff this season to how this build would be built in last season and there you go
I can't speak on if it's good or not, this is just how id go about a hazpro striker build. I go umbra instead of striker, just easier to manage
With how gear set attributes work and the lack of that 2nd attribute, you're either stuck with haz pro or headshot. No in between. Doing too much with a build is where it falls apart
yeah idk its just a fun idea tbf
PvP should try to get Haz Pro if using Backfire imo. But if your CHC isn't for PvP status it's not gonna be as good.
Umbra will always have a high burst because of how it works.
Lady Death w/intimated and Arush and 4pc Umbra is also very good due this it's amp dmg but faster RPM and other states.
Simple answer for Backfire for PvP Acosta's Kneepads.
as someone who just hit 40 should i be aiming for a skill build as my first?
PVE
mainly play solo due to work schedule
personal prefference honestly, if you like skills go for it, any specific skill in mind?
i mean ive been running drone and turret lol and having a blast
although it does suck in teh summit when I cant use them lol
My issue with both is that DPS is low it'll happen just fast enough sometimes. A hybrid build will work but needs some gear to do so.
You could go for farm some Heartbreaker and you use Technicians then you could use both and have some good dmg and some skill tiers. You have to get a weapon that you can stick the laser pointer for mTechnicians on it.
I get that but you'd be surprised what you can squeeze in with people. One of the guys on my team is a dad and has a runs a company and he gets maybe 1-2 hours to play and we get stuff done.
yea thats about what i have and not every day , more like 4-5 per week lol
so like the 4 pc HB +memento + picaros with the Kingbreaker AR?
I get it.
Yeah no Picaros get a Ceskea for more CHC. If you have a level 40 Lex use that
KB is too slow
Lex is KING
slapped that purdy gold skin on it lol
If you check my bio. I have a curated YT playlist I made for new/returning plays and some advance stuff in it. Take a look may help you answer a lot of stuff. Some is old but all helpful.
Ya that works. NP. Hope it all helps out.
probably do some summit runs to get some of this lol like i said i just hit 40 and still aint killed keener , might try to jump in multiplayer and see if i can get some peeps to help sometime this week
this guy should be banned from the game for the builds he posts
what builds are you guys using for lexington?
You don't need to. You get your watch at the White House. Once you walk in on your left.
almost anything...
ok so should I just do normal events then for gear , I keep reading on reditt to do summit/countdown
actually let me watch that playlist lol today should be a slow day at work haha gotta love IT change freezes
Only the first one to get you going
roger that thanks. Hit 40 like 4 months ago then just did not have time to even play 5 mins -- adulting sucks sometimes
due to the MULTIPLICATIVE dmg...
Does striker set make amour anymore? Or am I missing something
Striker always drops with red cores, if you want blue you have to recalibrate
Naw like when you build stacks you use to make armour stacks as well as damage
Heartbreaker
In div 2 you only get damage, unlike div 1.
Heart breaker ooooohhhhh frig
Thanks fellas
What you guys think heart breaker or striker I took a long break looks like things got a big rework
if you just want damage then striker, if you want some more comfort then HB
What is the best build for armor regeneration?
I used to use heartbreaker as main build for solo, but for some time I'm using Umbra with both improved DPS and survability. While going alone you might want to pair it with Memento backpack or Catharsis mask and a reviver hive for saving difficult situations (that WILL happen). I like to kill enemies myself instead of using skills and sit in cover, although that's another way to go (and works)
A build I saw today
Goblin is dropping seasonal loot, get your harvest(s)
Yep buddy has his Santa hat on
Any recommendations for someone coming back to the game after so many years? Last time I played was like 21-22 on the ps4 where the best red build was the classic m1a full red glass cannon at the time I think; I see there’s a lot of new sets now and wanted to put feelers out for a good solo/group char build to play with my buddies.
Any pve smg build recommendations ?
pinned post
Dude is cooking something diabolical
Buddy didn’t even turn on the burner
😂 stove with no gas
not the yt builds
Repair skills only affect how they repair other skills correct?
no
repair skills affect how much repair a skill is capable of delivering regardless of the target being repaired... i think you said something about this before... and its incorrect.
healing sets come with repair skills, do you feel something like future initiative is only designed to repair skills and not players?
To save some time, I opened that YT link and it's suggesting a LD PvE build, so you can skip it.
Okay a long time ago someone gave me really inaccurate information
i agree, its corrected now 😎
So to clarify, repair skills also applies to player healing?
yeah, it boosts the heal rate of all healing skills. artificer is also includedin that, so that may have been where the inaccuracy came from, since artificer affects skills. but its all healing that is delivered by a skill
i dont think in includes something like catharsis
Does the percentage line up with the healing percentages from skill tiers?
im not 100 on how its calculated. that would be one of our genius maths guys to clarify
yeah, but skill efficiency includes skill repair as well
incoming repair can also affect when a skill is healing you
Oh so efficiency is better or incoming repair?
skill efficiency is just repair skills, incoming is its own mods
Is efficiency only in mod form or is it on attributes too
Catharsis is specifically not buffable by anything
Brand bonuses and memento
with memento on a tier 3 artificer , ill see a 10-12% increase on actual repair for the 30% repair skills it delivers.
Ah, so, how should I go about my new and improved striker/healer setup, Im more so prioritizing damage over healing, I tried ninjabike, its fine but I just feel like its not doing enough to justify rn
Maybe try and sacrifice crit damage for skill repair, maybe throw on btsu gloves?
use memento, its the easiest to incorporate... its for self healing, right? youll get the native regen on top of the efficiency
wont lose all your damage trading off the bag
Yes and no, its for self healing but also I join match making a lot so Im co-op more than solo
I’ll play around with ideas tomorrow and see what I can come up with
Im thinking of trying btsu and skill repair attributes
other options may be tech class with the 10% repair selected which wont affect your build too much at all.
survivalist mender + shared medkit is also option
I’ll figure it out tomorrow
Is the chill out mask worth using for anything damage related? Im guessing not since I never see people talk about it
I think just pfe type builds
Only for PFE
Striker PFE
no
a grupo would do more
because you would have a ceska already
How about my 240% CHD build?
Whatcha gotta say to that buddy
diminishing returns is a myth 😎
freak...,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
thats true
if you have 200% chd another 12% mod would be a 12% increase in damage.
duh bro did you not study algebra
Calculus or smth idk I don't like calculating
i thought that's something in your teeth
Question about perfect clutch and perfect preservation
The on kill part does that mean you still have to be at 20% or lower
For clutch’s second part to trigger?
You mean the extra healing? Yes
Ok. So back to the original point about clutch then why does it suck? (Pcs stand point)
Pve *
Just use bloodsucker
It's like a really bad preservation
That only works when you are about to die, and requires fast rpm
There's an excelent one in the 📌 pinned-message > spreadsheet 2 > builds, of this channel.
Ok so... I'm holding 186 items (not counting spec sidearms), with 28 more inventory spaces to spare
I have no idea how I've done this, or if it's intentional in some way
ok, this is a bug with clan caches then
I opened the 3 SHD Requisition caches and got 5 items, which all counted, but none of the items from the clan caches did.
I dunno if this is a known bug (or intentional), but it's very real, considering I am now holding 212 items, and 124 mods, with 23 inventory spaces left, and 5 mod spaces left
yeah but it let me go wayyyyyy over the 150 inventory limit, while not adding anything to the count of items
because they give a lot of stuff
sure it didn't dump it on the floor in front of you
wut du fawk
The campus vendor still has a job 
the campus vendor's items are so bad, that they copied them to the castle, where nobody works the vendor station
Y'all really should work on getting your Inventory to a lot lower than the cap. You 100% do not need that much stuff across the characters+stash.
if you keep getting unicorn pcs you run out of space
I have 25 5.11 unicorn pcs in my inventory
I still haven't gotten HSD/RS brazos kneepads of my own
the only pair I have were dropped for me
so if I see something interesting, yoink
I'm not even going to comment on the fact that it's 5.11, and just say that: unless you have 25 characters, you don't need 25 copies of the same thing.
Be ruthless, delete your trash!
I deleted all my gear set items in my stash besides corruption, and have one of my characters holding 130 guns, and my stash is still at 290
could probably get it down to like 240 before I start deleting things I really don't want to go get again
then stuff like the lullaby which, what else can you really do with it
Can we stay on topic?
This is honestly very on-topic for builds, but it could be more on topic, I agree.
what tallent is better on AR? just got the 2 god rolled lexictons from mail and wanna check before tinkering
strained,optimist,fast hands from what i understand are good
their default ones are flatline and perservation for now
I've heard measured is also a good option now.
Sadist and flatline very good if the rest of the build supports them too.
Seems like it's mostly a matter of taste now, which is great
flatline may be good on a heatbreaker+yarl i guess
Flatline for heartbreaker definitely, don't think Yahl really factors into that. Sadist for Ongoing Directive, which is really strong this season
preservation isn't worth it.
i know will keep the flat roll other to optimist i guess
preservation is goated for solo content
but ya probably not on heartbreaker
dont sleep on the preservation backup boomstick tech 👀
ok now I really gotta make a pistol setup lol
Headhunters fury
Yes, that should do the job nicely (at least solo). Great for speedrunning content
Plus you can upgrade to regulus when you have it (if determined hasn't destroyed your aim)
nah I still aim for the head most of the time
If you find it a bit squishy you can add a blue core or two or swap to technician for a stronger shield at the cost of some damage
Speedrunning I run DCH. So when I have to switch to Shotgun I'll have something charged with the pistol.
Use HF backpack for wider CC.
aint gonna lie. I wish we had a slug shotgun.
it could be exotic or something. kinda like the double barrel in div 1
no need to swap if he doesn’t care about dch
How do you effectively use that hunters fury build is it more of gathering trophy's and you kill or cover to kill and move, because this build on heroic with all directives seems like would be extremely tough
Yeah, I'm a rifle man personally but looking at that build makes me tense up lol
it’s very very good
@half pasture boss 2 shotgun nego prep
if you dont have the habs bag just use like a walker harris or something idk
or a prov instead
That looks very well @fresh fox is the aim full 60 chc then fill the rest chd?
It's a headshot oneshot so it'll be 270% hsd and either 40% weapon handling or 35% chc
Oh wow @half pasture ok 👍
full headshot damage
since you are the prep guy
you just need to do big damage
I'm gunna try and build this, I have haps backpack but wanted it fir open world pve basically maybe couple missions
But it's really for sniper build
Ah what would you recommend for that using that Lexington, I have striker elmo combo, I would like some kind of rifle combo with Lexington @fresh fox
it doesn’t really matter
your whole job is to sledge, achilles, shoot the achilles and get ready to wipe
I mean for speeds... Do these guys know you are talking about full on speeds?
Cause you mention shotgun nego, you can't immune him too quick.
Just use lexington on any build using an ar
i’m just talking about shotgun nego here
Yeah it's just prep for shotgun nego isn't that time sensitive cause you are waiting for chunga to spawn.
Almost any red dps build+nego bro will do the damage ez.
but like that’s the go to
eh it only matters in speeds, otherwise it's kinda dumb to put a build requirement on people who don't know what they are doing to just ding the boss into immunity messing up shotgun nego anyway.
Ok @rich cosmos 👍
Back to play again…and with so many upgrades, I have no idea to build. I am a demo guy…any help with builds?
Thanks
actually... builds most of the time depend on the spec you're using, not what on you like.
Basic builds are Striker's, HB, Hotshot, oxi, mortar and Nego.
Then you have hybrids or PvP stuff. It's all in the spreadsheet.
searching was no help 😆
what is the cap on skill haste/CD please?
no cap
Hardcore huh....
No not the bees!
could charge faster
ya i was asking.. i am at 99% for both toys..
Cooldown reduction % works by increasing the speed of cooldown, not by reducing the total time by that %, so even at 100% cdr you won't get instant cooldowns
that's actually skill haste, cooldown reduction actually does work with the behavior you said (at 100% = 0 CD), but CDR isn't in div2
skill haste and cooldown reduction are 2 different stats, cdr used to be in div2 but no longer because it's deemed too powerful
skill haste works like this:
new cooldown = old cooldown / (1 + skill haste)
this means as skill haste increases, your new cooldown will decrease but will never be 0, and it has less effect the more you stack it
Does this actually work? How fast can it kill enemies?
Looks like it’ll work about as well as any turret drone build. You’re missing a damage chest talent, but other than that only a few places where there you’d be missing skill damage rolls from a “meta” skill build
I never tried a skill build, mostly because of disruption, especially against hunters
Yeah it just sucks there
Isn't there a talent that's % based cooldown?
Overclock
Perfect overclock is very op
An on kill one too
Calculated
best builds for st elmo engine and the strega?
striker's. there's a build guide in the pinned spreadsheet
Is there any chance of this knee brace falling off? (armor regen)
Not sure what this means
its always 1% ><
Lexington if you have it, otherwise FAMAS, P416, m4 are good.
Optimist works well for both.
Is it falling from the summit?
No only from dark zone and named caches
nah, its dz exlusive and u can get it from named caches or unlock crafting project from descent
sometimes can appear in coundown vendor
u can use to 2x gila, 1x belstone, x1 golan 4,5% armor regen if u dont have emperor guards kneepads and u will have one free spot with ninja
only - ninja is u have lower dmg, so vigilance on backpack or intimidate + adrenaline rush
a full armor regen setup with ninja would be less tanky than a regen build with ad rush
what would be a good rifle build? Want to use with ravenous or a usc something rifle its very accurate has strained on it
Strikers or aces
Also idk how i did not notice but man they reduced 2% chc from cheska?
I tried the new break point build and wow that set 4 peice is bad imo cause its 15sec and that resets PER reload? Woah
Yea breaking point really sends you to your breaking point
Anyways I think I have finally made a good striker/healer build I legitimately enjoy
Its 3 peice is decent for a wierd hybrid ninja thing i guess
im runnin like that
this is already the set , knee pad golan Should I add?
I meant breaking 2 peice 25% buff is cool
The main talent? Thats meh
you mean on chest?
Oh wait wrong person ping
ew... xd
Sorry man realised a sec late
Welp i guess thats my brain telling me to sleep again sorry cya
with ninjabike i have something around +120k regen but dmg is kinda meh, prefere this one
or u can use instead golans, murakami kneepads and catharsis mask
or if u use smgs u can sacrifice some crit chance attributes for armor regen ones
on this u have max 5,5% regen, u should have around 110k regen/s so its good
no that’s fine
now its the thing if u are satisfy with your mob kill speed, for me was a little to slow so i rolled one more red core
its a fun build and its nice in groups.. as a support for the healer..
and as a HC character.. i prefer to give myself a challenge (because it takes all of 5 hours to get to 40 now).. no Revive orb and no shields.. 😆
as for killing.. it works amazing in solo content.. i sit behind cover and shoot, keeping both toys boosted (and myself) and it moes down things fast.. its also nice to split them up on multiple bosses!

on secondary weapon u can use Emeline's Guard with Perfect Preservation or other weapon with preservation talent sometime helps restore armor
Yes! Sending them on different targets probably feels like that part in the movie polar where he uses lasers on his fingertips to guide each gun to a target.
Perfectly choreographed dance of death. Well if you need DPS BT unit lmk be cool to coordinate cosmetics with someone.
Is this for PvP?
Reposting my new build since it got lost in chat
Not sure if btsu gloves should replace alps
overcharge for me always better ><
maybe, i like the build tho
any have some build for Liberty pistol? Looking some inspiration, made one already 3 red, 3 blue 54/140
lmao
yes
Yes, I changed my 2nd weapon
Turret/ drone builds the cooldown is useless. They have really long uptime so you can stagger when you destroy one and always have a skill active
Chest talent also useless. Better ways to get armor back without killing your damage.
Glass or kinetic momentum (buffed this season).
Leaving a bunch of damage on the table.
If you rock 6 skilltier on the gear you wont be locked to tech spec.
This is utilizing gunner, palisades, mop named shotgun, 30%-40% armor on kill that the turret and drone can proc without you needing to headshot anything.
Utilizes perfect glass for 30% amp for all damage .
Tech support for 25% total skill damage.
There is 36% in pfe mods, but that's preference and can just as easily be 36% haste.
wtf take that damage then the table is mine
Oh hc agent, stick with kinetic momentum 
feels like I'm missing something with the headhunter HF build in the spreadsheet, is it just on my part or am I missing a key component, like determined on my pistol?
what do you feel is lackluster rn?
like not killing enemies fast enough, dying too fast, can't get to enemies fast enough, etc.
showing your current build also helps
not killing fast enough basically, strikers feels more consistent and faster atm
also hang on, i'll try and grab it
and also how you play too
there's a couple of variants of HHF you can roll with, like i know how i play HHF differs from how most play it
Armour recovery or armour on kill?
armor on kill is a better deal but you need damage
personal preference is on kill
What build?
still very rough around the edges atm like the backpack not having weapon handling yet and ouro being a placeholder secondary, but everything else is rolled for headshot damage and weapon handling. alternatively I use memento sometimes.
so looking at this, what you want to do optimally is get a kill with the harvest, then either:
- continue killing with harvest, or
- switch to m870 and continue killing until you get enough stacks to switch back to harvest
depending on the enemy you face, you have to use the correct weapon, like chungas, warhounds, or tanky enemies need m870
Striker 4 with fenris chest and momento
you also want to make sure your m870 has 150%+ hsd
any recommended mods for the m870? is the non-scope reflex preferred over the scoped ones?
backpack optimally you want either memento or d&h, providence is only used if you cannot meet hsd threshold on m870 due to low shd
i run accuracy mods nowadays but you can run hsd mods to meet 150%
armor on kill 100%
running armor regen means you're losing crit but running armor on kill doesn't make you swap crit attributes for it
i greatly appreciate your advice, are there any recommended secondary weapons like an SMG or just another shotgun?
And the regen mods flat out suck
sniper or shotgun, you can run smg if you really need to have crit to kill a warhound, but you only do that if you lost HH stacks to one-shot the warhound leg
Regen mods should give a fixed percentage. .25%, .5% something like that
aint that the dream
Gunner aok then, memento gonna have regen anyways. Might want ceska over fenris since striker is crit starved
Thanks guys
he’s on prov so i think it’s chill
Is Centurion Scabbard bugged?
Even if running retribution?
thats what i'd like to know
Im hearing there is a way to get both buffs at once by glitching it out
thats new
Where Azurmen did they quit
@blissful rampart your people need you
"who dares summon me from my slumber!" 😈
focus
just been super busy with RL man
Yeah, tbh if your crit buff doesnt have a 100% uptime then it's better just to have proper crit. That being said it's also a bit of preference if you're comfortable with the ebb and flow of chc. Itll still be worth running grupo for chd over fenris.
I'm a nego main for dps tho, so staying at 60chc cap is thoroughly ingrained in my thought process
gotta stop playing so much rocket league man that shit can kill you
if only, its been work for me. what little time i have to game has been warframe as of late but even then not much time 😭
we've all been there, take it easy bro, priorities!
I always disregard nego but I'm guessing I didn't read something right because it always seemed a meh set
interesting..
sadly i need those little tweaks for the HC set up.. with the headshot 20% armor regen and the enemy death is another +10%, add +10% if its a head shot kill.. so 40 total.. its a nice "oh @#$" umph!.. not to mention my signature offers 15% armor bonus when aiming the deployed skills (both skills, so 30% total).. the Faraday Field (from signature) makes me immune to shock and disrupt effects.. another nice thing for HC!
my base Haste is 86%.. then each skill adds their own, which is why im at 99% overall skill haste and would love to lower it and still keep the CD i have!
the Skill Efficiency from the 3-piece gear is at 24%.. thats +24% to EACH of > skill damage, haste, duration, health, repair and status effects.. 😆
so much math!
and now with HC able to access their stash.. the actual builds can begin lol..
Soo I was turret main when I low SHD level and after changing off and using a Hybrid build the biggest takeaway is that turrets and drones will always be out DPS by your weapon's DPS.
Nego one of the strongest multi target dps, and also recieved a buff this season.
The thing is its talent, its transfers(duplicates) your crits on a target to any marked NPCs.
You mark npcs by critting them so dont really have to think about it too much.
You just kinda gotta spray a spawn and focus the biggest threat.
With 3 Mark, critting a mark for say 700k , the other 2 Marks each take that 700k, so total damage that crit generates was 2.1mil. The damage that gets transfered is also conditioned on the target, so if target is out of cover and you have dttooc on weapon/build, the marks will have that full damage transfered regardless of them being in cover.
the smart folks never deemed it a meh set
Yeah I didnt even realize it was hc till I went back and looked again. Definitely different priorities
haven't had the chance to check out any changes since the start of y6 and just got in to mess around, having a lot of fun
you were gone??
💀

On paper, Nego has the highest potential damage output. In use it's a bit harder.
Actually, transfered damage with bag is 10% higher than the target takes now, right?
12% apparently
Oh damn
didnt even know lmao im running blind
Negotiator's Dilemma
Backpack Talent
Increases Crowd Control damage to additional marked enemies from 60% to 112%.
Before: Increases Crowd Control damage to additional marked enemies from 60% to 100% .
Yeah that's real good.
I'm so used to nego that when I do run striker, I'm still shifting targets to keep my imaginary marks full 😅
Never claimed to be a smart man, I move forward with trigger down and either the problem goes or I do 
Hmmm maybe it makes sense for me to switch since I'm always switching targets anyway
not saying you aren't smart either, you can only be smarter
we no-life in this game anyway so
Striker main, head empty XD
Yeah I know, just jokes with me lol
I wonder if I should make my healing build on nego instead of striker
Skill Buckets™️
Would this do good on nego? I don’t use nego enough to know
so with nego do you just sweep across the crowd to mark everyone and then go biggest to smallest?
This is why IMO it's really hard to play. It's only up to 3 targets you can mark and a Crit needs to happen. So you could do it this way but keep the uptime on +2 marks isn't easy.
Pretty much. When you get more used to the mechanic you'll start shifting target when their 50% or so to keep damage incoming an new marks being ground down
You pretty much always push for 60% chc cap. I'll do this even with coyote active, but I basically run exact as [Mjx](#td2-build-advice message) but with elmo or some ar and m1a cqb
I never really found it difficult to use tbh. If you chase/memorize spawns, everything marks itself. It gets a little more in depth when you target specific npcs to maximize the transfered damage. I moved from highend dps to nego , and it basically plays like highend to me.
It's a skill issue 100% for me. I'm not amazing at the game but pretty good it doesn't fit my playstyle it's just a Skill issue for me
target acquisition is pretty important with nego. to minimize dps loss due to target switching you gotta train to switch fast
How's nego with Strega?
Did testing in PvP with Strega and it rips when you use it on skills 😂
doesnt really work that well imo
I'm running Glass + vigilance
Yeah I found that insanely stupid
With the testing I did with Strega in PvP is to target skills. It worked on skills which applied the marks to other agents/rogues. Once one is knocked and others are near, you just keep killing and you get stronger. Tried it with DZ landmarks and when people go rogue and you kill Ads in landmarks, marks apply to the rogues as well. The damage is crazy on the right build
i think my ourabingus is bugged
modifiers on?
gonna assume mix of NB, striker and umbra
uh what is nb?
ninja bike backpack
was assuming you were stacking all of the rof buffs possible
striker has one at 3 pieces
umbra probably the second highest with 4 pieces
modifier "impatient", umbra, centerion holster thing new
I don't think that would be enough.
i think someone passed 2k rof a while ago
what should i change here? i think its the best striker build hands down
mid
get rid of the blue cores
centurions is good on paper but very annoying to keep up
no it's not, blues don't deal damage
it takes four and a half days to reload 😆
im not sure why you think skill efficiency has 3x its actual value for all the Skill Buckets™️ .
empress is only 8% skill efficiency now . so 8% in all the Skill Buckets™️ , not 24% unless something has drastically changed this patch. at most the set is giving you 18% skill health, 18% skill damage, and 8% in repair, duration, haste, status effects. skill efficiency also would register double the haste so youll need to remove 8% from whatever your total haste is to have a proper reading.
1wyvern/2hanna slightly outweighs the 3pc empress in relevant attributes, 18% skill damage/10% haste, the missing attributes obv not having a huge impact on turret or drone. ill need to change this on my own setup as well tho.
i also get your reasoning for the chest talent, but it kills damage at the same time as you put your self at risk to proc part of the armor return. the skill themselves could be the ones at risk to get you the armor. itll also only be effective when you are already low armor, as opposed to straight armor on kill topping you off regardless of how low you were. topping you off with work put in by your skills, constantly. a damage chest talent makes it even easier for your skills to kill. now im not sure if preservation is procced by skill kills, but lets be real, you wont be getting many or any kills with it on a no damage armor/skilltier setup. insync mop, the aok procced by skill kills afaik
faraday , and nominally the skilltier allowing for an armor core, are the only things worth on tech class. you wont be holding/aiming your skills long, you dont get that bonus armor for directing a skill to a new target... its just aiming to deploy (or aiming sticky/chem/firefly/etc). you wouldnt even see the bonus armor on the drone as you just deploy without aiming. i tested this to be sure i wasnt adding bad information.
i have barely put it in a nego build. i havent really had a chance to put it through its paces and need to kinda learn its talent .
Here, lemme pull a Dod Regnbue (love his content so much):
Right, okay, Strega. I'll keep it simple. Decent. Talent, easy. Hunters fury but on a gun. Talent spreads like Pestilence. Point, Click, demolish everything that stands in the way
i saw it might be dodo on nego tho, maybe ill just throw it in a striker setup
I think I nailed the impression tbh 😂
Striker or high end vigilance + glass builds it hits like a dump truck
Honestly any damage dealing builds it just hits. Pretty good gun. Just needs a crit chance mod tho
I haven’t touched this game in a year any good dps build advice?
striker is easiest to setup
pinned messages has a build spreadsheet, striker, heartbreaker, nego, hunters fury all solid dps
Alright ty
Im so confused by this
Like how do you hit almost 800 shd with this
Actually Ive seen worse nvm
Lose ninja
How do you run an all red strikers on legendary? Every time I expose even the slimmest part of myself my armour is gone
Learn how to peek
Look up dien.aka.kim on YouTube, he has some demonstration videos of how it's done (solo)
play it extra safe
Abusing third person peeking
by reading the Art of War by Sun Tzu
Make use of vertical covers, use C2C to move around
trying to make this legendary viable currently doing this mission on legy cant remember name
i mean you definitely can make it viable, but you probably can see a few problems with it
team oriented is just dps or support
it has decent DPS icl
dps is just as team oriented as self
nothing like striker or what not but it does 300k+ normal and with chatter rpm boost it kills chunga very fast
just wondering if there was a better way of doing this? thats all
300k is not a lot lol
using chatterbox here is kinda backwards cuz you need enough damage to proc the mag refund but you don't have enough damage from other places in your build
and drop ninjabike for a better piece, most likely a high end backpack with versatile or vigilance
you could
would that still b good?
has always been, but crit might fall off in groups if you can't kill fast enough
it really only shines if you can kill fast, most people run the headhunter variant
im trying to use belestone is my main goal to have survivalbility
well survivability can come in different forms, the 1% armor regen is negligible at best, and the 10% aok can come from elsewhere
yeah but im tryna use the talent perfect efficency
why do you need it
you can play aggressive without needing to heal
im bad at pve XD
just learn how to play aggressive in the first place
it's not something efficient will solve for you
get enough damage so you can kill shit faster and voila aggressive playstyle
in the meantime if you want to contribute in team damage just go striker and play mid-long range. you can always go short-range occasionally
yeah i have those builds too but im trying to do something different if that makes sense?
sure, but you still need enough damage
yeah thats my main issue
your goal is still to do enough damage but give a bit more breathing room, but this is going too much into utility side and sacrificing too much damage
so how would i go about changing that to be perfect in the middle?
if you really want to help the team in damage, there are a couple builds, i personally recommend blue striker or heartbreaker, but there are other ways to support the team
your mindset should be "if everyone is down can i survive?"
thats what im tryna do
also another thing is idk how "different" you want your playstyle to be
there's a lot of ways you can improve on the game sense front to play aggressive, so i'd focus on this first before trying to make a build because ideally the build should give you damage while you handle not taking too much damage
yeah i get that
any advice on a recent good Rifle Build like the old Bakers Dozen ones in the early days?
i have somethin like this
Btw this is all that's really needed
But it's so small it hard to see.
All the other stat pages don't really matter tbh
how to make it hit harder? i hit near 830K
1.1 mil headshot but how to make harder
Use a damage chest talent and backpack.
HF chest and backpack don't add any damage.
Ceska/vigi backpack and soko or grupo chest with obliterate or maybe PGC if you wanna really risk it.
Something something obliterate and unstoppable force
thank you guys
intimidate chest if you run memento backpack is not a bad combo either
if you can keep the bonus armor up anyway
for legendary if that changes anything
Solo or group? It's difficult to get close enough to deal damage with legendary unless you're running like HHF with regulus or something and speed-killing everything
suggestions for both using SMG or shotgun
Slap a chainkiller on there and become a CHAD
That's for shotgun/pistol/sniper tho
It's the most OP thing in the game if you can hit heads.
smg/shotgun is just crit
Turn them to the dark side
no
Shotgun on a HSD/chainkiller/HF setup will hit for like how much fully stacked up? Bro said they wanted bigger numbers.
well yes
no i mean my friends refer to determined HH as "dark side"
HHF regulus can never be dark to me
Isn't spas new top damage shotgun? Is it even much more?
spas theoretical max but i hate its accuracy
But not a worth while number difference right?
it's overkill for legendary, but i can imagine it being useful for shotgun nego
idk you probably have more background than me on this
open in browser
Breh that isn't gonna add pixels...
dude is openin narmal for me
Just know one pic of your overview is all that's needed.
All that other stuff is just junk.
If anyone who doesn't know what you have off the overview picture alone gives you build advice I'd probably ignore them
wdym i need to know precisely how much optimal range you have to give irrelevant advice!
Gotta make sure they have dtooc for multiplicative dmg
You didn't ignore if you commented
great. another shotgun i have to farm.
May I see a picture dms are open 👀
Backpack can be DH for pistol or the gift. If you don't wanna run vigi you can swap for memento but just know you'd need a perfect build to meet the HSD requirement for chainkiller on shotguns.
Snipers/shotguns/regulus or harvest(or magnum) work well in this build but you'll wanna use high damage weapons.
Gotta hit heads tho.
Saved TY (Headshots are ez since I use the hazpro hs bighorn build)
Just need to do raid for regulus
There are LFG discords that are very good for that. If you want I can DM you links.
The LFG here is not good?
There are no VC channels so it'll be hit or miss as to how you communicate or end up in a cesspool discord.
Most people just LFG in the discords that they will VC in and some discords have people who will specifically help you raid and teach you.
Yeah but iron horse is like an actual raid. You'll need to know where and what to do even if you don't control or help with mechanics.
Also you can't join raids without being on peoples friends list.
Yeah I get that
Steel pony
Plastic shoe horse
copper donkey 🔥🔥
CL new raid right there
adamantium equestrian
Wut
just talking nothing
I gotta look that up my brain to small
eh its stupid anyway dont look it up
That’s a big word to say horse
now that i think of it, that word means horse rider. not horse
Bruh I can’t even read 💀
you shud lurn
Naw Dps brain go brrrr
Bro that's perfect
wow i was expecting a man gtf outta here lol
lil comic book and technical horsey name
Did someone say iron hours?
Dark horse
last time I ran a raid Striker wasn't in the game, it'll perform fine in DH if I'm not trying to like WR Speedrun, right?
up to the raid leader, some still prefer High end but striker is fine for most LFG
Striker is completely fine for dh
Finally got a decent back back
I know, fenris is not as kind like this
thgere is usually a explosive resistance somewhere in there
that's being lucky haha back to CP4 prison I got. gota farm for optimaztion
yeah I just maxed it out just now
Need more field recon. Crafting it costs so much mats
which backpack has the perfect vigilance?
Increases total weapon dmg by 25% taking dmg disables this buff for 4s (3s)
What are you talking about
This is how it works right now
That's a 5 year old video from before they redid all the talents
It's the exact same except the perfect version reduces the cooldown by 1s instead of 5% more dmg
😂
Unless you are running headshot or the raid build there's no point
I got one god rolled in darkzone awhile back
Oh my god this video was a throwback. I couldn't imagine items being like this now lol
I was going to ask, is headshot damage still a useful stat for weapons other than Rifles/MRs?
It's been a few years since I've played and I'm cleaning out my inventory. Feels like there's lots of junk here
Trying to figure out what High-End sets to keep too
Chameleon was my DPS weapon for a while I think. That thing CANNOT hit head lol
there are a few builds that focus on HSD utilizing headhunter, other than that, CHC/CHD are your main DPS stats
you either spec into HSD or crit, not both
Oh, like the perk?
yep
Ah, okay
there are a bunch of builds that use headhunter (HH), in fact, i don't know of a HSD focused build that works too well without it
Do people normally use 1p of brands like Ceska, Grupo Sombra, and Providence to fill out Gear Set builds? I'm just wondering if I'm making my DPS build properly. I've been a healer all my life lol
I figured gear sets were always the way to go if you could, no?
pinned sheet has a list of more meta builds that you can get an idea of the slots and brand sets to use
generally speaking, there are some named items that are BIS for high end or gearsets, like contractors gloves and fox's knees. having a good ceska piece that can be used to beef up your CHC is always good too
Yeah, HE builds just seemed like good all-rounders
strikers/hb/nego/umbra are all great picks for almost any weapon DPS wise
and hunters fury is versatile
OD is now on par with HE tho.
^
Pls no
it's kind of great now
OD?
Ongoing directive
Oh, for status effect builds? That's on my list, those seem kinda fun
it works for a standard DPS build
you just get free amp damage for you and your team
oh, I was getting it confused with the other one that spreads the status effects on kill.
Gun gun builds
I'll be on the lookout for OD too then, sounds neat
honestly, just try them all
they're all pretty good now, see what sticks with you
eclipse protocol
Yeahhh, that's the one I was thinking of lol
well ty for the advice all :)
amp means "separate multiplier" so they multiply
they all work together
they just don't "add"
flatline * OD * opportunist
If you're using OD you should be using Sadist.
That works but Lex with it also is really good
lex is more carnage than carnage
yeeeee overwhelm gives you more damage to offset the damage you lose from a target not being out of cover (not really)
it's such a big brain talent that make you think walk and shoot backwards
in all my years of being an lmg enjoyer i don't think ive ever used overwhelm
not even for shits n giggles
the ones i really like are sleipnir, mg5 (with various talents), bluescreen and iron lung
try gr9 steady handed strikers then get ~ rounds of supressing fire
iron lung having reload speed buffed makes me happy
can you legally marry bluescreen
asking for a friend
you can be a common law partner, the difficulty is moving in
i'll change my facebook relationship status first
er, in the same way that sadist is the same as eyeless, sure
it has an aoe effect on the disrupted target
you can find all the stuff about items in the pinned sheet
no m249 is crazy
I mean can you use it? Yes.
Should you? No.
As in?
Nah
I mean Cava is a better tank
Yeah
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Ask the pvp mains in #td2-pvp-discussions
pvp nerd would have known the truth 🙄
morning
Question: is Gila Guard with Fenris Holster/ M4 Police version still current for solo players? or is it Lengmo now?
I somehow can't get my technician values
Explanation: haven't played for years, just got back into it a few days ago
on what build?
Ah yes, 5 piece gila, very strong
it's not about strength, it's about survival
According to the 2020 article I found, with 5 times Gila and Fenris as a holster you get 450,000 armor, 60,000 health and
3,000 skill power, enough to survive World 5
but now there is a level cap of 40, and I wanted to know if this is still up to date, or if there is a new set, because Google found nothing about it
That's from gear 1.0 and is completely irrelevant now
Checked the pinned spreadsheet it has builds in it
found it... uff, thats different
thx
Yes the gear was completely overhauled
brand bonues were always limited to 3 pieces, gear sets were orginally 6 but got changed to 4 later so no reason to use more than 4 gear set pieces also
What perk should i be running on Harvest? I'm usually using the Kard custom so it might only be on my hotshot build for memery
Literally anything
Just have dttoc on it
And don’t put determined on it cause it lowers your iq and stuff 👍
Finisher is never a bad idea on a Pistol, even if your main gun doesn't use crit.
i have a serious problem with my build. I feel like am doing something wrong but like i just don't know would anyone be willing to help me out?
Show the build
What's the issue
explain the issue
feel like am not hitting hard and i get knocked way to easily whenever i try to do something like countdown
I am trying to figure out a build for DZ that would give me DPS but slight tanky for going against Rogues and the Hostile NPCs
Switch to Lexington AR, keep all secondary attributes to chc/chd
You can also switch chest talent to obliterate
The second complaint is because you're running glass cannon
The first is because you're missing mods and crit attributes
Go for headshots, use cover
Shield won’t do anything
Can replace with a revive hive
Use the Gatling gun weapon specialization
Glass cannon, random blue attributes, missing mods
Shield can do something. But in CD it's not has useful.
got it thanks everyone for the help
With that build, there’s other skills I would suggest instead of shield, but it’s up to the player
i know correct attributes and obliterate was suggested above. for countdown the enemies are tanky enough that you can get away with using striker chest. instead of a fenris piece you should really use ceska as your highend. youll want chc (critical hit chance) to be hitting 50%, this will help get closer to max damage output. fill up the chc attribute on your watch first moving forward. with chc on watch maxed out, future dps builds will be easier to setup
tbh I've been running striker shield for like a year and all it's done for me is inflict disorient and give me one more second of survivability. might swap to gunner for AoK and Banshee Pulse or something else soon
Decoy, EMP Stick, Riot Foam, Hives, Pulses...
If you're running all reds your shield is gonna weak but it's dmg buffs are really strong.
That one second is super valuable
Besides the trick is to put it away if it's gonna break
They had glass cannon equipped so that shield is extra fragile
Yeahhh shields and blues on glass cannon are a bit goof
hey just wanna point out I'm not the one that asked for the build advice there I was just interjecting an anecdote
1 to 0.9% with backpack I think
yeah you're doing just shy of 190% damage at 100 stacks
Um what?
Strikers is 100 stacks. Chest is 200 stacks..
Yes....
90+100(your damage before strikers) is 190%
wtf.. No
Yes but no that's now how the math works for div
There's a lot more than that.
at what point in the equation is strikers' +90% damage added
Just getting video. I'm typing it out.
There short simple one
For just gear yes.
Like I said there's a quick video to explain it all.
so strikers goes on at the end, but before chd, if I'm reading this video correctly, because it's an amplify?
Yes
so at 0 stacks of strikers you're doing 100% of your damage before strikers, and at 100 stacks of backpack strikers, you're doing 190% of your damage before strikers
what I said may have sounded stupid, but it wasn't incorrect, it was just incomplete.
https://youtu.be/nzEqgWOGezQ?
More detailed of it.
Well there more than just 100%
If we're just counting Strikers and 6 WD cores yes you are right.
I'm including everything before strikers gets added to my "100%" number because they're not technically relevant to "How much more damage does strikers make you do"
it's "damage without" vs "damage with" in my logic
180
it amplifies by 0.9*100
we're not including chest, we can, but then the number goes to 280 (100[damage before strikers]+(200*0.9)
basically if you have a full build on and hit for 140,000 before you get any strikers buffs but have all the rest of your talents active and multipliers and whatnot, when you hit your 100th stack with the backpack you'll hit for 266,000, which is 190% of 140,000
There is spaghetti coding, but this isn't reallay an example of it tbh. It's just multiplication.
this is just a slightly confusing equation that we're all understanding differently but not necessarily incorrectly
Tom Clancy's The Multiplication
Multiplying by 1.9 is a 90% increase. Multiplying by 2.8 is a 180% increase. I don't really see what's spaghetti about that.
If you get the math you can do stuff like +300mill in one shot.
Dark Hours and Iron Horse one shots will never not be satisfying 😮💨🥵
Just something about taking a hand cannon and shooting a robot once and killing it tickles my happiness
Is there a build made for solo legendary stronghold?
You're gonna hate this answer, but striker rolled with a few blues is perfectly sufficient enough to handle legendary
We do it in incursion too.
I've never thought to attempt a 1 shot in Incursion
How many blue cores we reffing to here?
Not it really finding a playstyle you can use with a build imo. Some good players and use all reds.
Legendary is hard for a reason.
I can solo DUA but I can't use the same build for other lego.
And I know the blue modifier I need is protection from elites
It's entirely possible to solo with full reds, if you get the hang of peeking
I've played legendary DUA with my buddy and I ran 3 to 4 blues with 2 reds. I chose survivability so I went unbreakable as opposed to obliterate
Was my first attempt trying Leg with zero research and just figuring it out as I go. Took us an hour but we did it
It's not really one shot but finishing off. The bosses in incursion have dmg gates.
Yeah I heard you used to be able to actually 1 shot bosses there but they patched it
That and learning all the spawns and order of things.
Like the first few weeks. The devs didn't like and ya patched it.
Anything fun gets made into a punishment or chore lol
Speed running division is just new level skill and game knowledge
I believe can go lil faster but the leaderboards are bugged out.
Glitched sure but these are non glitched runs. Glitched WR is 6:42 atm.
My PB is 6:30
Well yeah, it's generally assumed you'll run them a few times in a group and get the feel of it that way, going blind into a legendary stronghold solo is a bit of a chad move
Aaaggreeeeeed
Anyways I'm try and see if I can solo the Roosevelt island so wish me luck
Did that with District Union Arena. We got all the way to the end without dying and had way too many close calls 😂
People who can run Legendary will always have my respect. It's difficult let alone doing it with only 2 people. Solo is just monstrously difficult. One day I will clear solo tho mark my words
It's a hard grind. I have issues with investing that much time into that agian.
Speedrunners that do the times they do is something else.
Me and my buddy took well over an hour to clear district union for the two of us. All he had were utility or full red builds and dude can't peek for shit 😂 I was the only one with proper builds
You really should try DUA and Capitol first since there the easiest of the them all. Roosevelt isn't hard but long with a lot of double Chunga's spawns if I think about it now.
hehe I just ran with 2 guys that never did lego yet on DUA modifier made it easier for them to do dmg but they were dying left and right.
I wonder if the modifier are breaking our leaderboard times atm. hmm...
Yeah, I was rethinking that after I went to get some resources
Get good at heroic so you know some general spawns and areas. Watch videos if you're seriously wanting to do it.
Dien.aka.kim has some videos on YouTube showing solo leg runs, useful if you want to learn positionings and tactics
That's the 'rotor blades' dude who often posts in here btw
I've been hating people putting out interesting build videos but playing with the modifiers on while showcasing the build
And also yeah, I expected that of first time Leg players lol. I was the same way for a hot minute until I got the idea of how Legendary works
What's bis pve dps build? Returning from over 2 year brake got Lexington
Running Perfekt glasscannon & Perfekt Vigilance atm
There's a few good ones at the moment, striker is still popular despite the slight nerf, heartbreaker, ongoing Directive and Negotiators all got buffs and are pretty competitive too
Striker with chest and backpack is max dps potential but only if you can reliably build and maintain max stacks, which is context dependent
Hmm Kay Kay ic ic ima check em out
Well I looked over his channel and it looks like he did a casual solo capitol with 4 piece blue core striker along with a full red ceska with matador, blue core palisade with intimidate and a six 12 with brazen and a fn 6k with strained
He also has vids of full red no shield runs too.
Making a basic heal build, running FI+Alps…using Tardigrade chest for the time being. Should I continue to build around Tardigrade or keep searching for BTSU?
btsu. also you should be using fi chest.
BTSU with an opportunistic backpack. There’s a guide in the pinned spreadsheet.
What are your guy’s thoughts on this build i threw together not too long ago? I wanted a nice little build for dark zone content which would give me a nice little balance of damage and survivability. In terms of the cores i have 3 damage cores, 4 armor cores, and 1 skill tier. In terms of damage i have 3 stacking damages going with striker’s, obliterate, and the chameleon/optimist. 15% short term weapon damage per trophy collection and 30% weapon damage at max stacks. In terms of survivability i have 20% armor on kill, 40% short term bonus armor per trophy collection, and 3% armor regen at max stacks. To round this build up i also have 1 skill tier because why not. This build isn’t fully optimized or expertised so it has the potential to be a little bit better but this is more of a test build so let me know how i can improve upon it for DZ content.
Are you fighting other players or just farming landmarks?
for lnadmarks this seems fine, but for player's you're going to have a bad time generally
Even for landmark farming I would run something tankier to avoid being jumped
Mostly for farming landmarks and maybe pvp, i havent tested it out against another player yet but i do also have a dedicated pvp build which isnt as tanky but hits very hard, this build is pretty experimental lol i wanted something that would help me out more on the pve side of things.
could definitely roll more blues if you're leaning on chameleon anyways
Dz landmarks are challenging difficultly, if you are mostly there for loot I would run full blue
You don't need any extra dmg for the npc
Yeah i’m pretty used to my 4 blue 2 red builds lol so i figured why not just throw another red on but i can switch some cores around
I would go for a full regen build
Chameleon is honestly not bad for what you are doing
Most landmarks have super fast clear speeds
Yeah i mean the chameleon has a really good fire rate and i already have 2 stacking damages going so i just figured why not? It’ll help me to get those striker’s and obliterate stacks going real quick
this probably sounds unintuitive to you but having more stacking damage (backloaded) isn't as valuable as having more damage upfront (frontloaded). that's why people run high end guns with frontloaded damage talents to get damage out faster
having more stacking sources is bad. striker is used because of how high the ceiling is, not because it's stacking
You need basically 0 dmg bonuses for landmarks as well, expertise on your gun is more than enough
I know, my go to build usually relies on amp damage, dttooc, and a bit of stacking damage (aka heartbreaker/spotter) but everybody in the dz runs pulse resistance and haz pro nowadays, i tried making a ridgeway’s pride/sadist build but even with the recent buff i just couldn’t get it to work too well and i dont really care much for run and gun type builds so i figured i best just stick to my damage cores and stacking damage but with this build idk if i wanna prioritize survivability or damage more, i’m kinda thinking about going more towards the survivability side
What sweaty lobby are you joining to always have pulse res and haz pro
Most people don't run hazpro and pulse resistance just running around dz
I get into lobbies with build switcher’s from time to time, they’ll check the nearby players list, switch to whatever build they want after seeing what you got, and then pop rogue, its happened to me about twice now within the past month and its a pretty good tactic lol
That's what any good player will do
Yeah probably, i sorta just thought everybody ran around and shot eachother if they felt like it, i didnt even consider that as a tactic until my first time running into a guy that was countering everything i threw at him but yeah if i’m in a somewhat empty DZ then’ll i’ll run my spotter build but if its a really populated one then i try to be more cautious with what i’m running
trying somehing out what do u think? am in process of getting a decent cheska with chc roll
can slot a chc on the mask to get like +12%
u can farm goblins if u wanna keep gila mask, they can drop Chillout mask which have one atribute and u can put 2 mods on it, or drop gila with both crits 😄
what kind of playstyles do the latter 3 provide
omg i did not know this existed imma hunt him then
pmed u
If you’re not going to run night watcher, you definitely need to run technician tbh
Mostly just mid range AR, keep mainly to cover and beam enemies down. Nego asks you to hit a few different enemies before focusing one, and Ongoing directive requires you hit the first target with a status effect before killing them, while striker and heartbreaker both stack up damage as you get more hits. Heartbreaker gives you more armor as a trade off for damage.
why use a chillout mask for to crit when grupo and ceska do it better?
chillout only good for stats you only find on gear mods (mostly pfe)
since you lose both useful brand bonus and a second stat in exchange for that extra mod slot
many people will disagree with you
Please, give us 1 example of a good use of chillout
I'd love to be wrong I have so many chill out
guess we have different ideas of what 'value' means
that one kamikaze hb build /s

what is he using in it's mod slot?
skill haste
In a HB build?
yeah
vector and acs w/flatline and the technician laser pointer
Welp looks like i may have butched my current hb set i tinkred the chc and chd on them so cannot roll them to red cores ahhh
