Since you gotta start i would suggest at least for the time being a dmg/skill build so you can clear missions etc and during that collect pieces and then as you play more you understand the game better and get to know what/how you like to play and then build towards that goal ( wich by then gladly come back for advice from us)

how can i fix oscar-01 problem? it's been driving me nuts. my friend gifted me this game and he paid 1200 bucks (in my countries currency) and i cant even play with him. i wolud be really apreciated by your help. god belss.

cerulean smelt
#

nods pick up a striker build. then you use that to make up your builds you want to actually try and play

cerulean smelt

#

thx mate ^^

vocal flax
#

Should i also put some invoming repairs?

fresh fox
#

regen builds use regen brand bonuses over regen attributes and use tanky talents like adrenaline rush

#

bighorn regen uses 2pc golan, everyday carrier, emperors guard and catharsis

vocal flax
fresh fox
#

use a different build imo

#

crit regen builds struggle a lot

vocal flax
#

Okay but if i stick to ARs it would work?

shy willow
#

Bighorn is the star of the whole thing

fresh fox
#

bighorn gives the build all of its damage

vocal flax
#

So its bighorn or nothing?

fresh fox
#

basically yea

vocal flax
#

Something like that?

shy willow
#

similar yes

vocal flax
#

Now i think im gonna do something for the railsplitter

maiden jasper
#

Can someone explain how building works in this game? I'm not sure what the Red, Yellow, and Blue labels mean, pure DD, something like support, and extrication, respectively? So, is it better to invest in one thing, rather than in 2 parameters?

urban latch
maiden jasper
urban latch
#

generally yes

#

tank builds are pretty niche, skill builds can be useful in certain situations, but you pretty much always need some dps builds

#

strikers is the most popular right now, so thats a good one to start with, but other builds have their uses

ruby escarp
#

What is the best AR if i do not own a lexington?

bleak sequoia
#

I like St Elmo's Fire

#

onyx sage
#

famas, police m4 are always good

F2000 as well

Now you just have to grind expertise until your hands bleed and your done

vocal flax
#

And here is a little monster i created for my lexington

hexed anvil
#

My current striker build. is there any way to squeeze any more juice out of this?

vestal ibex
#

Idk about that holster, it requires a lot of swaps to extract worth but you are swapping vs shooting

hexed anvil
#

Yea I don't mind the swaps, but what else would you recommend instead?

#

I feel like the holster gives instant gratification due to rpm and DMG boost

fresh fox
#

how did he take that picture wtf

vestal ibex
#

If you make good use of it sure I just feel like swapping vs shooting makes it less than worth because I'd rather be shooting than swapping. It's situational/player dependant.

vestal ibex
#

Or something

It's a 1.1% nerf, likely unnoticable by most

cerulean smelt
#

someone pointed out with the reload buff it'd make no difference

bleak sequoia
#

first sight is +30% HSD, what's the reload speed penalty?

glad heart
#

Well there is still no point in nerfing things far as I can tell. But, I don't run Lex anyway... too much work to rework the build I run ( which they nerfed the crap out of last time.... (Providence, Grupo, Ceska...)

bleak sequoia
#

just looked it up. -20% reload speed. OUCH

#

in exchange for +30% HSD, on an AR with a ton of recoil

bold leaf
#

That's rough

bleak sequoia
#

yeah it's definitely one for the Expertise, and not for use

glad heart
cerulean smelt
#

hmm

#

then again, my build is a little different. think i use grupo with weapon gloves and foxes

hexed steppe
#

Ceska nerf just means you run 1 extra chc mod, and let chd settle where it will

#

Ceska glass/foxs/nego with lex/elmo and m1a cqb on either setup. Still hits hard af and transfer buff is nice div2love

#

Nego is 😍

cerulean smelt
#

i haven't touched nego in forever

glad heart
#

I lost 10% CHD, and my CHC tanked.... CHD went from 203.5 to 193.5, and CHC went down below 50, was at like 58 or 59 don't remember, my CHC is now at 57 and CHD is still 193.5

hexed steppe

shy willow
#

Getting an amp on nego bag now is so sweet

hexed steppe
cerulean smelt
#

when i looked at the sheet since someone was asking about nego build. i consulted it and saw 112% and thought someone who updates the sheet just fatfingered it XD

hexed steppe
cerulean smelt
#

no worries, i was confused myself XD

#

like i didn't know striker got nerfed from 1% to .9%

hollow urchin
#

Any good overall solo skill builds?

cerulean smelt
#

about only one that comes to mind is 3pc empress, 2 hana-u and either wyvern holster or waveform holster

#

and if you got some serious determination. i go 3pc empress, 2 grupo and 1 china light mortar/seeker build

onyx sage
hexed steppe
hexed steppe
hexed steppe
#

Pretty hard to mess up a mortar build. Can use a typical afk build and slap mortar on it. You can get more exotic versions depending on your resolve for farming unicorns.
2 guides in the sheet. Normal setup and btsu oc setup. I would encourage you to try a normal variant first, and if you like it, dip into the unicorn setups.

cerulean smelt
#

i'd be pretty tempted to change my 3pc empress to 2 pc monkey and slap an exotic on it πŸ€”

bold leaf
#

2 monkey, 3 empress might be the way to go

magic pilot
#

2 empress is not worth

bold leaf
#

Yeah I mistyped

magic pilot
#

3 empress 2 monkey and waveform is kinda the noob turret drone build now

#

Or could go palisade for AoK

cerulean smelt
#

that would probably be my turret drone build

magic pilot
#

The efficiency really doesn't do a lot for turret drone tho

#

They have fast recharge speeds and long duration already

#

What's the 1pc monkey? Duration?

bold leaf
#

Think so

#

Not sure why the 3pc is 52% repair

magic pilot
#

Is the first brand with repair as 3 pc

#

So it's scaled up at a consistent rate

#

1 pc repair 2pc repair 3 pc repair increases the same amount

bold leaf
#

Makes sense

cerulean smelt
magic pilot
#

18/35/52

bold leaf
#

Or to pair with the revive backpack

#

I'll be running refactor anyway, that was fun in the PTS

magic pilot
#

Tbh I think the backpack isn't that good

#

If I'm gonna use an exotic backpack for medkit I'd rather use ninja

cerulean smelt
bold leaf
#

But for people who've played for a long time no it'll most likely be a free component

hexed steppe
#

i doubt monkey is gonna be worth on skill in general.. can beat 2pc monkey with 1 wyvern for important stats

cerulean smelt
#

not sure if anyone tested reviving with hive and still see it work. i'd be curious about that aspect

bold leaf
#

I think I saw it tested and it didn't work

#

It has to be a manual revive

cerulean smelt
#

ah ok

hexed steppe
#

the play still gonna be 3 empress, 2 hanna, 1 wyvern for turret drone... and notmal setups for mortar

cerulean smelt
#

although OC revive might be great at some point?

#

i got waveform for mine XD

bold leaf
#

Speedrunners are gonna find a way to make it work

#

Especially as it appears to have no cooldown on the overcharge

cerulean smelt
hexed steppe
#

didnt realize there was an oc on the bag πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

cerulean smelt
hexed steppe
#

still not worth i dont think. not for a skill damage build. maybe on healer or some hybrid. can already oc with btsu and still have chest/bag talents free

cerulean smelt
#

well, i think the OC is for the person doing the reviving

hexed steppe
#

just run a strong striker so you can control where the damage is going

#

or hotshot if running a lot of directives

magic pilot
#

Hotshot imo

#

Run it with more directives with hotshot

#

That's what I run solo

#

Also it will only drop from the boss

#

Ofc

bold leaf
#

Yes

magic pilot
#

Ideally you would farm 90

#

For bighorn yes, no one else will drop it

#

I think I have a high summit floor

#

I can check when I get home and pass it to you

bold leaf
#

Higher floors have more bosses so it's more efficient, but 10 works fine

magic pilot
#

I've gotten it first time for people quite often

cerulean smelt
#

how do you know?

magic pilot
#

I always say "idk how long it will take sometimes it takes hours" and then we get it first run

cerulean smelt

i feel Till mortar do us part is always there watching all of us and chuckling at us

Matchmaking will fill your group up to 4, if people join; backup only calls one at a time I think

alot of times when matchmaking is slow , backup calls really shine. ther is always a couple people looking to improve their shepherd ranks

i knew i liked you 😎

bold leaf

I want to see what happens with an overcharged stinger hive at the extraction πŸ‘€

magic pilot
#

Yea mortar tank is easy to do

#

If you are going to pvp definitely need a regen build

I think it's in the guide

magic pilot
#

3 lengmo, contractors grupo coyotes?

#

How many blues?

#

I'd go at least one more blue if you are running catharsis

#

What backpack

#

For 3/3 coyotes definitely gets more value

cerulean smelt

think them exodus will make a debut in pvp?

lime swallow

What do you think of my pvp build? Is it good or do you recommend something?

And put fire sticky

With 4 yellow, 1 from tech, 1 from ninja, 2 rolls, you can still have 3 blues and a red

Has a ton of skill dmg and good crit

it's a shame they nerfed picaros

glad i learned about the nerfs recently

#

not sure what those stats were before the ner, but probably lost what someone said 2% chc maybe?

onyx sage
#

2% chc, 2% hsd, 2% chd everywhere

glad heart
#

The loss is greater than that

bold leaf
#

I don't think I've ever seen anyone use a Mk 16

cerulean smelt
#

though i dont' think it underperformed from last i remember

onyx sage
#

it's a tiny nerf

cerulean smelt
#

yeah, old buddy of mine got me hooked on it. he also taught me this build

hexed steppe
onyx sage
#

yeah i know

#

anywhere that has chd has 2% reduced, has hsd has 2% reduced, etc.

vivid timber
cerulean smelt
#

probably why i was shocked to heard a nerf to it XD

onyx sage
#

i mean unbreakable doesn't give any dmg

#

and has so little value in a build with such low armor

cerulean smelt
glad heart
#

Unbreakable does not give damage, but it will save your butt in a rush

hexed steppe

Perfect Glass Cannon = 30% extra damage but take 60% damage

or you can headshot again, the first headshot should have high enough damage to stun

cerulean smelt
vivid timber
#

true

hexed steppe
#

with oblit getting nerfed i been swapping all the alts to glass for dps. they already had skill/yellow sacrifices on them tho.

cerulean smelt
hexed steppe
#

its only 20% twd now

cerulean smelt
#

interesting

hexed steppe
#

kinda better tho. vigilance is acting like an amp because only source of twd, then glass is amp anyways so its better damage overall. just need to be aware of surroundings

bold leaf
#

Kill the boss, return to the lobby

hexed steppe
#

kill boss, pick up loot, leave npcs alive, lobby, repeat

glad heart
hexed steppe
#

lobby refreshes the floor, if you selfdelete its the same floor

bold leaf
hexed steppe
#

old floor 10 was about 60shd/hr before nerfed. you would use fire eclips and oxi to clear in like 30sec and repeat

lavish grail

so question
according to the wiki, The Oxidizer can be used to reliably damage enemies that are behind cover, as well as push them out of it, and can be devastating when fired at enemy spawn points. Could the same be said for sticky bombs, particularly the incendiary ones? All varieties of chem launcher and sticky bomb seem to be area-effect indirect fire weapons (except reinforcer), so they would have roughly the same tactical niche, correct? @ me to reply

shy willow
#

Stickies and chems are more for AOE status builds

sticky bombs are not the same because they don’t go through walls

shy willow
#

oh rip

fresh fox
#

bro is mr old news

hexed steppe
# lavish grail so question according to the wiki, *The Oxidizer can be used to reliably damage ...

oxi and fire chem not that similar. oxi benefits from duration and can definitely damage through walls, floors, ceilings, and objects but it is static. if you know the spawns firestarter chem can directly burn stuff behind walls, as long as the vapor cloud reaches npcs. it also indirectly burns stuff through the eclipse status spread on death. fire in my opinion is better in general. nice thing about fire is its ability to double dip 2 main damage types . primarily skill damage and status effects, but also affected by damage to armor. pair with eclipse and youll stack a bunch of status effects, use capacitor for skill damage and dta. ep bag talent amps all damage as well.
oxi on the other hand benefits from skill damage, amps like glass, dta, dttooc. its definitely strong but not very useful in a lot of situations. it shines when you have waves of npcs coming from the same spot or static targets like the generators and sams on tidal. its ability to stack multiple clouds and having damage ticks for each make it really good in those situations.

# solemn otter Is this build good?

I couldn't see any recommendations for changing, so I'll offer this: swap out the chest for a Grupo Sombra piece and the Capacitor for pretty much anything else. You'll benefit more from the grupo crit damage than the d&h pistol damage. Capacitor is intended for skill builds so doesn't really do much here

lyric jungle

why does everyone want scorpio shotgun?
\

fair dragon
#

Great gun for utility

vestal ibex

Great gun in general tho, the six 12 nerf brought it down a bit but really you can use the thing as a main weapon on DPS builds still.

Hotshot legendary is super easy but gotta practice with it first make sure you can hit your shots

Hit for 25 mil?

lime swallow
trim wedge
#

If not switch out knees for fox’s prayer with headshot dmg

#

Just run 3 pc hotshot, tweak it to hit for 25 mil

#

And run vigilance over bloodsucker

#

Most the time you’re popping up shooting real quick n going down, your vigi won’t ever be unprocd

#

Do all that just so you can 1 shot bosses and 2 shot chungus

#

Always switch off hotshot for last room tho it will be useless against main boss

magic pilot

I'm assuming you mean DUA

That and Roosevelt

I just need vigilance

You can easily one shot DUA boss with Achilles and dodge city

@trim wedge

magic pilot

The incursion setup works too

trim wedge

Just take it to the range and see what your hitting for

To use hotshot in endgame and heroic tho you’ll need vigi or you’ll be super inconsistent

For raids you can run striker but most teams prefer just all red builds, don’t have to stack anything just outright dmg

Yeah I run all red Elmo/Ouro builds Coyote all that basic stuff

#

Yeah, yeah all super basic builds anyone who plays pve content should have

tame crane
#

Yup, happy that they are still usable, i guess not too much has changed

trim wedge

No and for conflict/dz just run umbra, if you play dz a lot you’ll make more builds as you go but umbra is an amazing start

tame crane

Yeah havent really gotten into DZ yet but for sure gotta give it a shot

All the Cronus boys run headshot regen and if you don’t have Cronus it’s buns, just run vigi and their regen don’t matter

lavish grail
hexed steppe
# lavish grail to clarify, i'm talking about the incendiary sticky bomb, not the firestarter ch...

Chem is the way you can do that. It was already clarified by others at time sticky didnt work like that. With sticky you need line of sight and in blast radius to be affected. On the other side of cover or wall will be no effect. Firestarter will have a vapor thatll show up on both sides of cover, but it's a smaller radius than oxi.

So firestarter is your way to achieve that. Plus you'll have a bunch or available shots unlike sticky 1 and done till cooldown is finished

Its really good once you get the hang of it. You may also be able to use survivalist incendiary grenade if you really just dont like the fire chem. It wont be as strong but I think it also able to bypass some cover.

I’m currently running an all red strikers build but want to try some variations with more survivability. Does a quick and dirty build with 2 pc belstone, 4 pc striker, and a gun with preservation make sense? I mostly play solo and have beat some heroic content, but get shredded sometimes on the all red build.

Anything is possible!But this will reduce the damage several times, but it won't make a tank!

No the kingbreaker. It is has too low of rpm now to work with HB. M4 types ARs, Vector 45/Dark Winter, basically anything with rpm of 800 or up other else you won't build stacks fast enough to make it worth it.

Check out the pinned Google doc, bunch of info and guides in there including heartbreaker's guide.

If your stash and inventory are full at shd200 then that just means your hoarding a whole bunch of stuff you'll never need. Basic check if something is useful, it should be 1 recalibration away from having all correct rolls for a build. If it doesn't, no matter how high the rolls are, it's junk. Junk with high/max rolls are good for adding to your recalibration library, but outside that aren't worth hanging onto just because something has a high roll.

I get it, right now you don't really understand what is worth keeping, so you just hang onto everything. Going through the build guides in the spreadsheet will give you a better understanding of what's useful, which will also let you know what you can get rid of

Once you get a singular build and optimize it, it's easier to be selective and expand your build repertoire out while looking for specific gear. If you take too broad of an approach it's way too hard to know what you're looking for. Build the popular/easy stuff to get you going and then work from there

Yeah I'm not a fan of the LMG gameplay. Long reloads plus the bloom accuracy nonsense. Just decreases mobility and while you have a big mag, the reload will just take so long in a lot of cases. A quick reload big mag AR will nearly outperform when you're talking burst dps

What do you guys think about this PvPvE backfire build i threw together? I could have gone with umbra but i dont really like builds or gameplay elements that cause me to switch up my play style as i am a run and gun/face tank kinda player. This build isnt perfect but i think it’s pretty decent in all aspects. 1.6M armor, unbreakable, 35,400 armor regen, 30% armor on kill, 40% Hazard protection, 60% CHC (atleast with backfire) and 156-356% CHD (again with backfire) and of course i have some extra stats thrown in like smg damage from sokolov, weapon damage from yaahl, health damage, and damage to targets out of cover.

Clutch isn’t good and even less in PvP.

Health and chd, on a smg build. Blues help survivability in general. But to much blue can harm your dmg.

yeah, im sure console is a diff ball game when it comes to builds wise but typically the playstyle with iron is range. but if it works with ninja for u then thats good. but id atleast not worry too much about chd since the umbra already gives so much at max stacks

trim wedge
#

Yeah I’m new to umbra but on console you try to throw in some weapon handling and accuracy unless your face tanking folks

#

I do have a question tho so I have this build

#

I had it all rolled armour regen then changed the regen to chd

#

And I love the build so I can’t let it go but I’m not getting its full potential I feel

#

I switch out chest piece to perf efficient in groups

#

But should I switch ninja bike with Gila adren rush?

#

Basically use cover to your advantage you build stacks while in cover

hoary seal
#

umbra works by 2 sides of it. One being in cover and out of cover. while out of cover and IN combat u gain stacks that when u go in cover u regain armor. while in cover, u gain stacks that give rpm and chd

azure sandal
#

at what point should i start looking at making a build? once i finish the base game and dlc and reach max level? or is that too soon for that?

solar sable
#

You mentioned you already got your SHD watch, right?

azure sandal
solar sable
# azure sandal yes exactly! just got that a bit ago.

Okay. First, SHD levels don't actually improve the gear you get but the perks given by the watch. DMG, Defense, Skill and Miscellaneous. These perks go all the way to 10% each and they are unlocked on your way to SHD 1000. Don't worry about SHD farming before getting the right build and enough game knowledge just to get into XP farming.

The first build you want to look after is a Striker's build.
This build is focused on dealing DPS and the full set is easier to get than you might think. Challenging Countdown, as I mentioned before, is your best ally for build farming. Just matchmake a few runs and you'll get the build in no time.
To start with the build you'll need:
Coyote's Mask (Exotic Mask; obtainable through Mask Targeted Loot [TL] in Challenging Countdown).
Ceska Chestpiece with Obliterate talent (Ceska Vyroba TL); Main attributes = Crit DMG and Crit Chance (CHD/CHC).
4pc Striker's (Striker's Battlegear TL). Same attributes as above.

Your weapons come to personal preference but in the easy to get POV: St. Elmo's Engine, exotic AR (AR TL); third attribute on it should always be DTTOOC (AKA DTOC and stands for DMG to Target out of Cover).

Please note that you can reroll exotics once you have their blueprint, rerolling costs materials and Exotic Components which are obtained by deconstructing exotics ||-cough- Chamaleons -cough-||

Exotics are rare but you'll eventually get them if you try hard enough.

# tender pulsar I wanna change from my skill-dependant build to a AR build with lot of dps, i ha...

You could go high end:

Coyote mask
Fenris chest with crits + obliterate
Grupo holster with crits
Ceska backpack with crits + vigi or unstoppable force
Contractors gloves with CHD
Fox's kneepads with CHD

Skill 1 - shield
Skill 2 - trusty ol reviver hive
Specialization: any. Gunner works best

Guns, any AR/LMG/Rifle will work. Even shotguns. However, stick to those 3 categories bc fenris/contractors/Fox's knees buff those 3 weapon categories.

I personally use Strega on this setup and it HITS stupid hard. St Elmo's will work on this setup, capacitor, basically any exotic

#

(if you want stackless, instant damage, go with Glass Cannon + Vigilance)

It's not "hard" but it's tedious. I ran through with a PFE build, a revive hive and shield, went down once. The biggest issue is the mechanic of non stop enemy spawns until you complete objectives.

The build tools dps calc doesn't take everything into account and isn't all that reliable. If you have both builds put together you can go to the range and get the basic inputs you need to check for yourself, a crit hit, non crit, and the rpm. With those you can calc burst, with reload as well you can calc sustain DPS. There's a DPS calc in the pinned spreadsheet (the one with my name) that takes those inputs and does the math for you.

If you don't have the pieces together and are just at the theory crafting stage it takes a little more work to gather all the inputs. If you want to do it that way check out iKias DPS calc spreadsheets, which are also linked in the pinned Google doc

trim wedge

#

Im just so confused cuz i steamroll challenging hitting 24m but heroic i get steamrolled doing like 3/4 of the damage idk where im losing out on 6m damage

trim wedge
#

Ah hell idk then should be one shotting

warm vault
#

Yea ill figure it out ig stupid game

trim wedge
#

Try changing bag out for vigilance

#

And chest out with named headhunter chest

#

Keep trying different stuff I had the Hunter fury build and I deleted it, hotshot is too good

onyx sage
#

i was going to say, maybe memento stacks not being high enough?

#

every time you die you lose stacks

vestal ibex
#

onyx sage
#

hunter's fury is stronger when you use shotgun and play close

vestal ibex
#

24 mill might also be with HF stacks.

onyx sage
#

that sounds like 1886 with everything maxed yeah

#

@low narwhal guess we playing Tarkov now
(is it any good)

low narwhal
#

Maybe good gun to use in artillery build since it gets boosted by explosive damage attribute

graceful coral

(doesn't even have the good perk...)

#

What is a good build for the new exotic chest piece?

versed summit
#

IMO it’s not better than intimdate or vanguard for their respective uses

#

It could be better than efficient+catharsis, but that’s a big maybe

lusty nexus
fresh fox
#

why the habs bag

shy willow
#

Rn you're losing so much damage from the dead chest talent and dead brand bonuses

#

Ninja is not that great for builds either due to it essentially losing a talent

#

Memento also has 3 cores but a very powerful talent maybe try that out

#

And then if you're going for crit there's 4 piece sets like HF that are very good

#

You can slot Lexington into basically any DPS type build

#

Negotiators, striker, umbra etc

#

Looks good

#

I run a similar setup with intimidate instead of unbreakable

stray dune
#

Keep getting destroyed in anything above hard. Any ideas?

verbal helm
#

Play more

shy willow
#

The high end prov setup is generally 3 prov (w/ perfect glass cannon and vigi), 1 grupo, foxes prayer and contractors gloves

#

Can replace grupo with coyote mask

tame crane
#

4pc striker with Coyote and Grupo with Obliterate

stray dune

#

If someone is stuck on Hard difficulty, it's unlikely that they have the Ouro.

ancient dune
#

Striker chest sucks in content where you can't stack to 200 stacks

tame crane
#

He has it in the picture hehe

ancient dune
#

They do have the ouro in the screenshot before haha

hazy steeple
#

So you can run a Heroic incursion but a Hard mission is too tough?

#

Fair enough.

ancient dune
#

Also your backpack talent isn't great and that's one of the highest impact parts of your build so you're losing a lot of damage there

stray dune
#

Solo heroic is very hard for me, I get shot down too easily.

tame crane
#

You dont have too much surviablity with this build, but it does so much dmg that you shouldnt have any issues, you kill them before they kill you

ancient dune
#

That's sorta a playstyle issue in the end you have to play around cover more carefully

#

but being able to dish out damage faster will help you

stray dune
#

Yeah I gotta be more patient lol and lose the sniper maybe? Go for AR?

tame crane
#

I run ACS/Rock N Roll to build stacks

cyan drift
#

clan vendor this week

tame crane
#

dont really need second ar wiith Ouro

hazy steeple
#

You will increase your overall DPS if you swap to a Ceska chest, instead of a Grupo.
Ouro can build stacks on its own, it's kind of silly.

ancient dune
#

I would lose the sniper for an AR imo so you can take safer distances

stray dune
#

I do have a rock and roll

tame crane
#

Yeah true tho Ouro has crazy RPM so

stray dune
#

But then I’m stuck at close range

tame crane
#

Would a Famas maybe be a good secondary?

stray dune
#

I saw a build guide that recommended Dana’s

#

Famas

ancient dune
#

Lexington is ideal if you have it, famas is fine too though

hazy steeple
#

A regular ACS is superior to a Rock&Roll, since you can get a proper Talent on it.

tame crane
hazy steeple
#

That extra mag size is not useful, since you can already nearly max out your stacks without the boost.

stray dune
#

Rivens the AI lesbian is a hell of a name btw lmao

hazy steeple
#

I'm gay, and I once got accused of being a bot due to my copy+pasted responses.
I change the "ai" part fairly regularly.

tame crane
#

I run Ceska on my Elmo DPS to since I lose out on the Crit Chance from swapping Ouro

hazy steeple
#

It's still better to use Ceska, so you can have more CHD attribute rolls.

ancient dune
#

You can also do Lefty which can uniquely take an RPM mod unlike normal AA12s

hazy steeple
#

CHD rolls are 12%, chc rolls are 6%, basically.

stray dune
#

So go Ceska chest? What piece of strikers do I farm for replacement

hazy steeple
#

Lefty is a great alternative, if you can make use of the Talent.

ancient dune
#

If any of your strikers pieces has CHC replace it with one with CHD

hazy steeple
ancient dune
#

or just recalibrate it really

stray dune
#

Kk thanks for the ideas everyone

hazy steeple
#

If you're farming out a Ceska chest, make sure you take the time to get one with 2 crit stats natively, and Obliterate if possible.
That way you can use it for a lot of different builds.

tame crane
#

well the left one is with Ceska, right one is with Grupo, you think ceska would be better dps?

hazy steeple
#

Without even looking at the stats: yes.

#

Attribute rolls across your build are important, you can squeeze a lot of extra DPS out of it if you have more space for CHD rolls.

tame crane
#

Trading 7% more CHC for 15% CHD? I thought I would be better off with Grupo

hazy steeple
#

A Coyotes setup ideally wants between 50 and 55% CHC, just in case you wander outside of the ideal range.

#

Especially if you take the AR+acs route.

onyx sage
#

ceska lets you squeeze out more chd

tame crane
#

Yeah thats what I had in mind, with Ceska I would be at 60% CHC

onyx sage
#

you can change one of your rolls to chd

tame crane
hazy steeple
#

Perfect!

tame crane
#

yeah with that + CHD mod I get 60% CHC and 163% CHD

ancient dune
#

that being said if you run a SMG/AR mixup you might even want to leave it as is since the AR would have lower chance

tame crane
#

I usually never run SMG/AR, just switch from SMG DPS to AR DPS depending on the situation I am in

ancient dune
#

I can't quite recall if ouro caps chance with all chd attributes on gear

hazy steeple
#

The SHD watch also gives you +10% CHC, and +20% CHD, so you can take that into effect if you are wihtout them yet.

tame crane
#

My CHC and CHD on SHD watch are maxed

ancient dune
#

Okay so purely for comparison purposes we can do CHC * CHD on 2 builds with the exact same stats in other areas to see which one deals more damage

#

60 * 162.7 > 53 * 175.7, you can see for yourself

onyx sage
#

πŸ€“

tame crane
#

Okay I will give it a shot, thought 60% chc just could have been a lil overkill

ancient dune
#

It's a simplification from a bigger formula so it doesn't tell you how much better one is than the other, I would assume it's like 1~2% tops

#

But it is a little better haha

ancient dune
#

leave me outside zoo one more time see how sad that makes me

tame crane
#

Yeah πŸ˜„ On my Elmo build however, with Ceska and CHD mods I have 45% / 167,7%, if I switch the CHD mod to CHC, I get 50,5% / 155,9%. With the math it would be wiser once again to go with the higher CHC, which also lands me at the 50% mark with the Coyote? πŸ˜„

ancient dune
#

Yup taking medium buff with coyote would push that to cap at 60% with only 0.5% wasted too which is pretty great

tame crane
#

Great alright cheers, will switch out the Grupo on the Ouro and CHD mod to CHC on the Elmo Ceska

#

Also, any tips on how you guys manage/sort your mods? Do you keep at least one mod or two for each category? Like keep blue mods on me even if I dont even have a build with blue mods?

onyx sage
#

trash all armor on kill and incoming repair mods

#

keep god roll red and yellow mods

#

if you have surplus, give to mules

tame crane
#

Mules?

#

Oh as in second character(s)?

onyx sage
#

yeah

tame crane
#

Also, is farming countdown with Gear System Mods a viable way to try and geat god roll mods?

#

never tried that actually

onyx sage
#

you can, i'd recommend summit legendary tho

tame crane
#

Alright cheers I appreciate that, getting back from a long break. Also curious about if they have done something/changed the Exotic components? How many you get as from previous? I dont remember taking a break with that many in my inventory

onyx sage
#

you definitely can get them a lot easier now

tame crane
#

Great, any of the 2 Exotics in this season pass that are usable?

tulip charm
tame crane
#

Good to hear, gotta cop the Pass then

#

Even though they are free, makes it more worth grinding it

#

What is the desired Talent on an ACS12?

#

Flatline? Or was it something else

shy willow
#

If you're running striker you're normally only using it to stack anyway

#

I either use lefty or fast hands

tame crane
#

Yeah just using it for stacks just wanna have the best one possible hehe

#

More so for the novelty than actual use

tulip charm
onyx sage
#

short answer brazen

hexed steppe
#

acs never really needed to stack tho. if its really desired use lefty and give a team buff when opportunity arrives

boreal ingot
#

What is the best skill for CC build, I know foam for 1 what othre skill should I give my toon so it can cc as much as possible? if firefly the blind one good?

gloomy spruce
#

At tier 6 shock trap has impressive range and hold ability

#

Above heroic, blinder firefly has dramatically decreased effectiveness.

Since this is a public server, you should get used to people re-asking questions that are answered on the same page.

# boreal ingot pure cc with creeping death

ok, jammer pulse is good depending on content, same with emp sticky.
-couple variations for cc you may like- using acostas go bag or btsu/stinger hive combo for an overcharge setup.
-use scorpio/stage left or lefty and run a setup uzina named bag with perfect opportunistic.

hear me out for a sec. if youre using cc eclipse, its a given that you are using in a team and not solo. creeping is a great talent so wont knock it too much, but i dont think its really strong in eclipse. the spread is definitely nice, but if your team is melting things anyways you wont really need the extra aoe from creeping. just need to have one statused npc and your team will chase that foam around the area. the extra amp damage from opportunistic is really good and kinda allows you to reclaim some of your damage while also boosting the team. scorpio/opp/survivalist/sledge gives 4 different team damage buffs.

strong cave
#

Specialization I usually just run firewall bc of the burn damage. Never thought to give survivalist a try. Would tech be worth it at all?

shy willow
#

Survivalist is cool for cc with the 10 percent free amp for your team

#

Tech doesn't really offer anything for eclipse tbh

solemn otter
#

Is obliterate good for dark winter? People keep telling me to use it (chest piece)

shy willow

It's good for any crit based build
