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.

Man I loooooove BiS seasonal items!!!!1!!

#

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

Are there actually any decent rifle PvP builds now?

Now that they’ve been “buffed”

am I fine not running any hazpro on a backfire build? thinking about just using a memento + HF setup

onyx sage
#

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

There's no way that's a good build

#

the striker or the pvp 1 I stole?

shy willow
#

The blue/yellow ninja one

#

On bighorn the norm is blues/hsd/hazpro/regen

hasty sluice
#

i mean yeah thats the norm but ive used it and it works well for attrition fights.

hazy steeple
#

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.

magic pilot
#

I'm not being weird, running a shit pvp build is probably due to not playing pvp enough

#

I mean that objectively

hazy steeple
#

Looking up someone's profile to prove them wrong is weird, and also breaks #rules #12, if you want a specific reason.

rich cosmos
#

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

magic pilot
#

Yea I don't think that falls under rule 12. I respectfully disagree but respect your authority

#

Will not do in the future

hazy steeple
#

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.

magic pilot
#

There's quite a few things wrong with that build

#
  1. Technician
  2. Minor attributes
  3. Yellow cores
  4. NBB
  5. Unbreakable
hasty sluice
magic pilot
#

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

hasty sluice
#

its not a foam its a heal chem

magic pilot
#

That's even worse somehow

hasty sluice
#

its not for rushing somebody its to hold your ground. pop hive, throw down 2 chem zones

#

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

Including Ad Rush for a backpack talent. It's a must

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

just about 500 hours

so "new"

strong cave
#

I promise you mouse and keyboard players would stomp you in DZ if they caught you with that build on

#

Well yes but this is a build based game

strong cave
hasty sluice
#

If im near 4 people at once that are rouge is a awareness issue not a build issue

strong cave
#

But what if you're rogue though is also what I mean

hasty sluice
#

im never rogue

#

ive never noticed ive been spelling rogue, rouge. a color

strong cave
#

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

hasty sluice
#

I never stated it was a great pvp build. its a quick build I made that can kill somebody if needed & do landmarks fast.

strong cave
#

That is true, but it can be so much better/improved

hasty sluice
#

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

hasty sluice

Oh I dont need credits I have about 400

Haz prot up to 60% and use bleed resis mods

#

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

g4 pvp?

strong cave
# jolly sapphire

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

havent prof'd my iron lung yet

#

is it recommended to fight medium with this?

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

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 build website should I use?

jolly sapphire
hasty sluice
#

the yellow are haste/dmg correct?

hexed steppe
#

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 skinsdiv2hunters , and could you also add a weapon accessory customization feature? Some accessories feel awkward when equipped.

hazy steeple

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.

526% CHD, MAX CRIT CHANCE, & 1.6M Armor! Backfire Umbra Build

strong cave
# regal wharf 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

indigo cipher
#

i cant remeber the exact % to be immune to bleed

strong cave
strong cave
#

Still, why stop at 60 and only be immune to bleed? You might as well go full send for 100

#

striker hazpro gaming c:

strong cave
#

Can be done, I could probably make a build template for it

indigo cipher
#

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

strong cave
#

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

strong cave
indigo cipher
#

yeah idk its just a fun idea tbf

subtle bluff
#

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.

placid cargo
#

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

broken edge
#

personal prefference honestly, if you like skills go for it, any specific skill in mind?

placid cargo
#

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

subtle bluff
#

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.

subtle bluff
placid cargo
#

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?

subtle bluff
#

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

placid cargo
#

lol i do

#

i just got it in fact

subtle bluff
#

Lex is KING

placid cargo
#

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.

placid cargo
#

so then probably run ballistic shield and reviver ?

#

awesome ty!

subtle bluff
#

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

if you just want damage then striker, if you want some more comfort then HB

fervent lake
#

What is the best build for armor regeneration?

lyric wing
#

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)

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.

Repair skills only affect how they repair other skills correct?

hexed steppe
#

no

hexed steppe
# rich cosmos Repair skills only affect how they repair other skills correct?

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?

hazy steeple
#

To save some time, I opened that YT link and it's suggesting a LD PvE build, so you can skip it.

rich cosmos
hexed steppe
#

i agree, its corrected now 😎

rich cosmos
#

So to clarify, repair skills also applies to player healing?

hexed steppe
#

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

rich cosmos
#

Does the percentage line up with the healing percentages from skill tiers?

hexed steppe
#

im not 100 on how its calculated. that would be one of our genius maths guys to clarify

rich cosmos
#

Okay

#

There are skill repair mods right? Don’t they cap at 20%?

hexed steppe
#

yeah, but skill efficiency includes skill repair as well

#

incoming repair can also affect when a skill is healing you

rich cosmos
#

Oh so efficiency is better or incoming repair?

hexed steppe
#

skill efficiency is just repair skills, incoming is its own mods

rich cosmos
#

Is efficiency only in mod form or is it on attributes too

magic pilot
magic pilot
hexed steppe
#

with memento on a tier 3 artificer , ill see a 10-12% increase on actual repair for the 30% repair skills it delivers.

rich cosmos
# magic pilot Brand bonuses and memento

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?

hexed steppe
#

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

rich cosmos
#

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

hexed steppe
#

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

rich cosmos
#

I’ll figure it out tomorrow

rich cosmos
#

Is the chill out mask worth using for anything damage related? Im guessing not since I never see people talk about it

Question about perfect clutch and perfect preservation

magic pilot
#

Clutch sucks

#

Hope that helped!

radiant reef
#

The on kill part does that mean you still have to be at 20% or lower

#

For clutch’s second part to trigger?

magic pilot
#

You mean the extra healing? Yes

radiant reef
#

Ok. So back to the original point about clutch then why does it suck? (Pcs stand point)

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

fresh fox
#

clan caches give a lot of stuff

that’s probably why

cyan drift

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.

cyan drift

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

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

patent fossil
#

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

half cosmos
#

flatline may be good on a heatbreaker+yarl i guess

patent fossil
#

Flatline for heartbreaker definitely, don't think Yahl really factors into that. Sadist for Ongoing Directive, which is really strong this season

subtle bluff

preservation isn't worth it.

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

patent fossil
#

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

subtle bluff

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.

it could be exotic or something. kinda like the double barrel in div 1

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

if you don’t kill you don’t survive

#

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

onyx sage
#

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

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!

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.

Oh hc agent, stick with kinetic momentum petter

stone lark
#

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?

onyx sage
#

like not killing enemies fast enough, dying too fast, can't get to enemies fast enough, etc.

#

showing your current build also helps

stone lark
#

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?

onyx sage

armor on kill is a better deal but you need damage

broken edge

personal preference is on kill

hexed steppe
stone lark
# onyx sage showing your current build also helps

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.

onyx sage

onyx sage
#

you also want to make sure your m870 has 150%+ hsd

stone lark
#

any recommended mods for the m870? is the non-scope reflex preferred over the scoped ones?

onyx sage
#

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

onyx sage
onyx sage
#

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?

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.

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.

hexed steppe
# devout sonnet I always disregard nego but I'm guessing I didn't read something right because i...

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.

#

would be cool if marked targets dying would spread the buff

strong cave
#

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

# cunning ledge interesting.. sadly i need those little tweaks for the HC set up.. with the head...

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.

dps is just as team oriented as self

indigo cipher
#

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

onyx sage
#

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

indigo cipher
#

ah

#

i could do hunters fury tho?

onyx sage
#

you could

indigo cipher
#

would that still b good?

onyx sage

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

indigo cipher
#

im trying to use belestone is my main goal to have survivalbility

onyx sage
#

well survivability can come in different forms, the 1% armor regen is negligible at best, and the 10% aok can come from elsewhere

indigo cipher
#

yeah but im tryna use the talent perfect efficency

onyx sage
#

why do you need it

indigo cipher
#

because im very aggreissive

#

in pve

onyx sage
#

you can play aggressive without needing to heal

indigo cipher
#

im bad at pve XD

onyx sage
#

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

indigo cipher
#

yeah i have those builds too but im trying to do something different if that makes sense?

onyx sage
#

sure, but you still need enough damage

indigo cipher
#

yeah thats my main issue

onyx sage
#

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

indigo cipher
#

so how would i go about changing that to be perfect in the middle?

onyx sage
#

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?"

indigo cipher
#

thats what im tryna do

onyx sage
#

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

indigo cipher
#

yeah i get that

Use a damage chest talent and backpack.

Ceska/vigi backpack and soko or grupo chest with obliterate or maybe PGC if you wanna really risk it.

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

fresh fox
#

on what build?

rich lotus
#

Technician

#

Complete Gila with Fenris Holster... thats the Build

rich cosmos
#

Ah yes, 5 piece gila, very strong

rich lotus
# rich cosmos 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

magic pilot
#

Checked the pinned spreadsheet it has builds in it

rich lotus
#

found it... uff, thats different

thx

magic pilot
#

Yes the gear was completely overhauled

broken edge
#

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?

What's the issue

slender sentinel
buoyant stratus
#

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

dreamy valve
#

You can also switch chest talent to obliterate

shy willow
#

The first is because you're missing mods and crit attributes

dreamy valve
#

Go for headshots, use cover

#

Shield won’t do anything

#

Can replace with a revive hive

#

Use the Gatling gun weapon specialization

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

Besides the trick is to put it away if it's gonna break

They had glass cannon equipped so that shield is extra fragile

shy willow
#

Yeahhh shields and blues on glass cannon are a bit goof

molten thorn
#

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

subtle bluff
#

Strikers is 100 stacks. Chest is 200 stacks..

molten thorn
#

chest is 200

#

100 times 0.9 is 90

subtle bluff
#

Yes....

molten thorn
#

90+100(your damage before strikers) is 190%

subtle bluff
#

wtf.. No

#

Yes but no that's now how the math works for div

#

There's a lot more than that.

molten thorn
#

at what point in the equation is strikers' +90% damage added

subtle bluff
#

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.

molten thorn
#

so strikers goes on at the end, but before chd, if I'm reading this video correctly, because it's an amplify?

subtle bluff
#

Yes

molten thorn
#

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.

subtle bluff
#

Well there more than just 100%

#

If we're just counting Strikers and 6 WD cores yes you are right.

molten thorn
#

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

junior surge
#

180

molten thorn
#

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

junior surge
#

There is spaghetti coding, but this isn't reallay an example of it tbh. It's just multiplication.

molten thorn
#

this is just a slightly confusing equation that we're all understanding differently but not necessarily incorrectly

#

Tom Clancy's The Multiplication

junior surge
#

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.

subtle bluff
#

If you get the math you can do stuff like +300mill in one shot.

Running Perfekt glasscannon & Perfekt Vigilance atm

patent fossil

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

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?

versed summit

Even for landmark farming I would run something tankier to avoid being jumped

rich lotus
# magic pilot Are you fighting other players or just farming landmarks?

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.

versed summit
magic pilot
#

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

rich lotus
#

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

magic pilot
#

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

rich lotus
#

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

onyx sage
#

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

magic pilot
#

You need basically 0 dmg bonuses for landmarks as well, expertise on your gun is more than enough

rich lotus
#

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

tulip charm
#

What sweaty lobby are you joining to always have pulse res and haz pro

magic pilot
#

Most people don't run hazpro and pulse resistance just running around dz

rich lotus
magic pilot
#

That's what any good player will do

rich lotus
#

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

# stone lark what kind of playstyles do the latter 3 provide

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.

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

No not really

Make any build with a chillout I can make it better
