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.
nods pick up a striker build. then you use that to make up your builds you want to actually try and play
there's a #unofficial-troubleshooting where this seems to be more of a place for. this channel is for in game build help
thx mate ^^
Should i also put some invoming repairs?
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
And if i dont want to use big horn and switch to an smg?
Okay but if i stick to ARs it would work?
Bighorn is the star of the whole thing
if you stick to bighorn
bighorn gives the build all of its damage
So its bighorn or nothing?
basically yea
similar yes
Now i think im gonna do something for the railsplitter
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?
generally speaking, its best to going all in on trying to do a single thing very well. If you check the pins theres a google doc with a bunch of info and build guides in there to get started
I understand, but what is used most often? Damage?
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
What is the best AR if i do not own a lexington?
famas, police m4 are always good
F2000 as well
Best umbra pvp all around build ?
Now you just have to grind expertise until your hands bleed and your done
So another 5 years ?
And here is a little monster i created for my lexington
My current striker build. is there any way to squeeze any more juice out of this?
Idk about that holster, it requires a lot of swaps to extract worth but you are swapping vs shooting
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
how did he take that picture wtf
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.
I do make sure I swap as soon as I feel ljke rpm is back to normal. And I don't mind it π
It's a build template I was working on. But I feel like it's too much text on one page and it's too small. I gotta go back to drawing board on that idea
Just a screen shot works tho?
Like that's harder to see than a normal inventory screeny
On a monitor I can easily read it. But it's not optimal for looking on a phone screen
I'm on a monitor tho, icons are at a glance.
If you are new to the game and don't know what they are sure.
True.. I thought of adding names of weapon, chest and backpack talent and diched the idea coz its way too much text lol
Striker Chest in normal PvE isn't worth it. It's hard to build that much and keep up the stacks. So that'll open up a Chest Talent slot either for Obliterate or Glass Canon.
For the image I would make the brands/gearsets easy to see
you photoshop the text in?
Okay nerds. New AK, is it worth it?
How did u get your loudout section to look like that?
Probably a thumbnail they made themselves
nope
slower reload speed for more headshot damage
Bruh. May as well use a normal fkn ak-47 π nerf Lexington then give us this heap of shit. Shows how much we're appreciated
Happy valentine's day guys
I need to borrow him for something.. SHH see that.
Did they nerf Lexington already? Wouldn't surprise me in the least. They break good builds, then give us garbage, and think that is wonderful? Phtttttt....
Next season will be nerfed and that's right around the corner btw
a streamer i watched put the new damage it does into a spreadsheet and it comes out on top still
It's a 1.1% nerf, likely unnoticable by most
someone pointed out with the reload buff it'd make no difference
first sight is +30% HSD, what's the reload speed penalty?
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...)
what's the nerf to that?
lol
just looked it up. -20% reload speed. OUCH
in exchange for +30% HSD, on an AR with a ton of recoil
That's rough
yeah it's definitely one for the Expertise, and not for use
Nerfed the stats.... bonusesCHC, CHD etc;;
hmm
then again, my build is a little different. think i use grupo with weapon gloves and foxes
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 
Nego is π
i haven't touched nego in forever
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
Transfer with bag is now 110% π
not 112%?
Getting an amp on nego bag now is so sweet
Now I'm confused. I thought 110 but I'll check patch notes later
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
Better than I thought. Yeah patchnotes say 112. Mb π»
no worries, i was confused myself XD
like i didn't know striker got nerfed from 1% to .9%
Any good overall solo skill builds?
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
π«΅ π old man
Ceska lost 2% chc, grupo lost 2% chd afaik
Providence also lost 2% on each.
He red 3prov grupo fox contractors only sees 4%chd reduction and 2% chc reduction.
If running a gearset like strikers, nego, etc you are maybe seeing loss 2% of each max
It would help if I tagged properly
Respect your elders ya young whipper snapper π΄
π΄
Yes , mortar.
Also fire eclipse, but mortar works for a lot of content outside of raid/incursion/countdown.
Mortar Supremacy
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.
i'd be pretty tempted to change my 3pc empress to 2 pc monkey and slap an exotic on it π€
2 monkey, 3 empress might be the way to go
2 empress is not worth
Yeah I mistyped
3 empress 2 monkey and waveform is kinda the noob turret drone build now
Or could go palisade for AoK
that would probably be my turret drone build
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?
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
Makes sense
maybe to try and get us to get creative with some kind of combat medic build for it
18/35/52
Or to pair with the revive backpack
I'll be running refactor anyway, that was fun in the PTS
Tbh I think the backpack isn't that good
If I'm gonna use an exotic backpack for medkit I'd rather use ninja
what i saw of it, i'm pretty impressed with backpack
It'll be great for new players, especially those in a group that are playing together for the first time.
But for people who've played for a long time no it'll most likely be a free component
i doubt monkey is gonna be worth on skill in general.. can beat 2pc monkey with 1 wyvern for important stats
not sure if anyone tested reviving with hive and still see it work. i'd be curious about that aspect
ah ok
the play still gonna be 3 empress, 2 hanna, 1 wyvern for turret drone... and notmal setups for mortar
Speedrunners are gonna find a way to make it work
Especially as it appears to have no cooldown on the overcharge
yeah, streamer showed them constantly having full bullwark shield
didnt realize there was an oc on the bag π€¦ββοΈ
yeah, only thing i see a change of is taking the ninja bag code out of it
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
well, i think the OC is for the person doing the reviving
just run a strong striker so you can control where the damage is going
or hotshot if running a lot of directives
Hive doesn't work
Hotshot imo
Run it with more directives with hotshot
That's what I run solo
Also it will only drop from the boss
Ofc
Yes
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
Higher floors have more bosses so it's more efficient, but 10 works fine
I've gotten it first time for people quite often
how do you know?
I always say "idk how long it will take sometimes it takes hours" and then we get it first run
i feel Till mortar do us part is always there watching all of us and chuckling at us
You never knowπ€·ββοΈ
I never thought I would get a 13% pfe
I got one after 5800 shd
Haha I just got one recently too, at 5500+ SHD
i call hacks :p
Tbh I read this chat all the time
@onyx sage gave me a 13% mod
Nothing really
It's like a "hey I need help right now"
Matchmaking will fill your group up to 4, if people join; backup only calls one at a time I think
Man
still too scared to drop that stinger hive during countdown extraction? you may not believe in him, but he believes in you π―
π₯ π π₯
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 π
I want to see what happens with an overcharged stinger hive at the extraction π
Yea mortar tank is easy to do
If you are going to pvp definitely need a regen build
gonna test that with first sight?
Why 2pc Golan? Doesn't 2pc Gila give regen and total armour?
Its a pvp regen build
1 pc gila is armor, 2 pc is health
Oh
Ohh health ok
Nah it sucks
The reload speed is longer
Wtf thats the trade off?
I think it's in the guide
Yep
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
think them exodus will make a debut in pvp?
What do you think of my pvp build? Is it good or do you recommend something?
In some situations probably
Too many blue, run some yellow
And put fire sticky
Wicked is pretty good here actually
Raucey runs a jammer pulse to proc as well
Then something else got nerfed too then, or the stats lie: Four images follow, before and after....
ok
Yea definitely gotta work on that
A lot of people run grupo/gila too
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
Decently tanky
it's a shame they nerfed picaros
how many chc and chd rolls in total? i wanna copy this
thats fair. ig elmo lost 5% on chc/chd during the same patch. i though it was prior to this season* for some reason, mb. that would be a 9% drop from both stats in this setup.
Everything rolled CHC and CHD, except for the blue which is armor regen; all stats maxed, all mods CHD.
balancing would take more away from the chd as well
are you online rn?
yes , my alt hunter is on
may i join you for a moment when you are free to see the build?
if he has the build on rn you can just inspect him
HunterKD25 no problem
how i dont have him added
omg loool
type in your game chat
Ooh that's smart
that is smort
lots of commands you can use in game chat lol
in fact you probably know me from the other server
I need a command that will drop a double red habs piece
I HAVE inspected build thank you
WHO IS YOU?
Nanomachines, son.
jk, Tom from MySpace
Type in central chat
Tom was a bro
i got it now!
see guys, this is why i should retire.
No way the real Armstrong
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?
2% chc, 2% hsd, 2% chd everywhere
The loss is greater than that
I don't think I've ever seen anyone use a Mk 16
though i dont' think it underperformed from last i remember
it's a tiny nerf
yeah, old buddy of mine got me hooked on it. he also taught me this build
4%chd prov/grupo
would chest with obl still be good here or gc/unbreakble is more optimal?
probably why i was shocked to heard a nerf to it XD
i mean unbreakable doesn't give any dmg
and has so little value in a build with such low armor
no clue, but i imagine obliterate would probably push it into what PGC does without going down a lot XD
Unbreakable does not give damage, but it will save your butt in a rush
pgc?
its clearer listing actual is all. some may not know all the set bonus
Perfect Glass Cannon = 30% extra damage but take 60% damage
ah
basically someone farts you go down
also btw uno your hotshot build , does it get 1 shot hdshot kill before the buff is active on elites?
no
you need stacks
its not that serious. glass is pretty easy to deal with
what do u do? i use foam to trap then hdshot?
I don't notice the extra incoming damage from PGC most of the time, except from a perfectly thrown grenade I didn't see coming
you can yeah
or you can headshot again, the first headshot should have high enough damage to stun
i know, but when i was first learning to play with it, felt like that. oh let me cover shoot down i go XD
true
yeah, its more of a seasoned player piece of gear. π€
with oblit getting nerfed i been swapping all the alts to glass for dps. they already had skill/yellow sacrifices on them tho.
π² what they do to obliterate?
its only 20% twd now
interesting
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
Kill the boss, return to the lobby
kill boss, pick up loot, leave npcs alive, lobby, repeat
You get what you needed?
lobby refreshes the floor, if you selfdelete its the same floor
Does it change the faction on that floor after you reset? I need a couple more Riker boss floors for a commendation but don't fancy running through 10s of floor to find one
old floor 10 was about 60shd/hr before nerfed. you would use fire eclips and oxi to clear in like 30sec and repeat
Rip convoys
just find a ny riker control point, set world to heroic, kill whatever rikers you need, elites or named. youll get 2 named per clear, then can repeat as needed
oh boss floors in summit , yeah lobby refreshes faction
btw: if you save the load out with whatever specialization it'll be set in that load out
Yep it's specifically in Summit, thanks though I'll try that
Should get this pinned in #ask-td2-community
that works. if you get an airaldi vigilance bag youll squeeze a little more damage out of it... should be fine tho
Just don't bother trying to get 2x habs pieces. They don't exist with WH and HSD π
thats why everyone ninja's the habs hotshot build π€
Never thought of that
Legendary it's always white tusk
Oh you weren't serious lol you got my 3am brain believing anything
forgot about that
i would rather help farm a good set than see an agent fall π . ninja is a good component though π―
Haha yeah I deconstructed it a while ago tbh
That's ok the commendation is for any diff
i feel they could make the ninajabike come with random talents on it
or swap the talents to ninja knee and remove the bag all together
imagine, chest/bag talents and the unlocks
don't you bully my favorite exotic component
there's a hive?
i'd be tempted to run Countdown to be that troll XD
inspects agent, an agent has left the group
would need to hotswap mid / end of mission
yeah
did you fully clear it?
ok cool. if complete itll put you in 11 checkpoint and break your farm
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
Oxi is by far the most potent at spawn killing and is the only one that will completely bypass terrain
Stickies and chems are more for AOE status builds
what im concerned with is aoe and ability to fire over/around terrain
sticky bombs are not the same because they donβt go through walls
What's a good pistol for a tank build?
Liberty tends to come up a lot
Letβs see some bonk builds π
Tired of these shotgun noobs need me a build to compete with em
you'd think since we have a exotic weapon and a named holster wtih melee damage we'd be able to run around and bash some heads we'd be pretty good at it. yet i die trying XD
terrible now
oh rip
bro is mr old news
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.
Is this build good?
a little changes
if you can please help me on my build to see what i can fix
Hey, does anyone know if in a group the cayote mask stacks?
You can have all 3 active
you want to keep backpack nd capacitor?
Hey guys, how could i improve my drone/turret/AR build ? I'm shredding through challenging but want to start heroΓ―c. It's only for PvE
I have the Waveform holster but i prefer switching between Coyote and Catharasis mask
krieger told me to keep the backpack
is capacitor also ok?
all skill dmg nd regen or skill hast on all pieces. no coyote needed wyvern will be better or the exo holster wave form
not really if it's for pve
It's not a good idea to have raw damage with the capacitor ?
Raw dmg why? skills don't deal crit dmg
Yeah i know but since i'm also using the capacitor for shooting, i thought it was a good idea to deal damage with it
u will because the skill tier u have. but coyote here is not good
True... i will try that, thanks !
How i did mine. Just put glass canon on chest. All dmg skill nd protec regen
Nice, no waveform ?
no because i want full regen stats too. U can if u want more dmg. It will replace the wyvern piece
Hey guys, so after the advice i got and some little research im currently using this armor set, but everyone uses scorpio as a main weapon. Any pointers on how to farm for it?
Priority objectives , exotic caches from dz/countdown vendor , countdown targ loot
hi it's 4 pieces not 5 for the futur set bonus. TL shootguns in summit or CD
Alps backpack with Opportunistic would be better as you really don't need the gearset backpack bonus
As with farming most things, you'll want to farm activities with targeted loot, so for the Scorpio you'll target shotguns. Summit and countdown both have the option to select what targeted loot you want, challenging difficulty countdown being the most efficient.
Also keep an eye out for btsu gloves, a backpack with opportunistic (ideally the naned one, the setup), and a lefty shotgun.
hasnt dropped so im just using what i have but ill keep on the lookout
use glass cannon
more weapon and skill damage
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
why does everyone want scorpio shotgun?
\
Great gun for utility
It's gud
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.
Yeah i'm planning too but have not looted it yet
okay ty because i know i used to run it with dark winter and striker but that was a long time ago
Btw what is the best way to loot a Hana-u/Empress with glass cannon ?
Countdown
and what should i target ?
The brand
Thanks π
Hey guys, just coming back from a long break. Has the meta changed much as of lately? Still on Ouro/St.Elmo dps builds, been gone for around a year or so
it's changed a little, but ouro elmo are still great for DPS.
I run crit hit dmg over regen
Can you tell me a build for legendaries in solo?
ok
Skill build will do the trick but I prefer striker with hive for backup
Great cheers, any new Exotics that are usable/viable in dedicated builds around them?
Hotshot legendary is super easy but gotta practice with it first make sure you can hit your shots
?
Hit for 25 mil?
20
If not switch out knees for foxβs prayer with headshot dmg
Just run 3 pc hotshot, tweak it to hit for 25 mil
And run vigilance over bloodsucker
Most the time youβre popping up shooting real quick n going down, your vigi wonβt 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
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
The incursion setup works too
Just take it to the range and see what your hitting for
To use hotshot in endgame and heroic tho youβll need vigi or youβll be super inconsistent
You can go bloodsucker if you don't run determined
I just made a second character and built the striker incursion to just clear stuff for the weekly and Iβve been missing out lol
Double the components
Dmg talent in mmr is enough to one shot most enemies
Yea it's worth running incursion 4x a week
ok
Can get down to 10-15 min runs
Yeah ik, I gotta do 2 more only took me a day to farm entire build, mods is a dif story
Just catching up with content and such. In the PTS were there any weapon changes? I saw the new gearset but that's really it
Mods should be account based not character based
How does the Incursion DPS build look?
So mods are shared across all characters now?
Coyotes,4pc striker with backpack n chest, ceska/grupo pc
No Iβm saying they should be
Oh haha okay
Oh yeah standard 4pc striker then
But you have to run backpack n chest
And keep your stacks up youβll learn what keeps your stacks up as people run you through and teach you
Yeah yeah haha I am aware, just been gone for a long time so catching up on whats new and whatnot
For raids you can run striker but most teams prefer just all red builds, donβt 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
Yup, happy that they are still usable, i guess not too much has changed
No and for conflict/dz just run umbra, if you play dz a lot youβll make more builds as you go but umbra is an amazing start
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 donβt have Cronus itβs buns, just run vigi and their regen donβt matter
For wright and especially lovebirds I'd suggest bloody knuckles instead of coyotes.
Also for a weapon, backfire is top tier from tanker onward.
Love them backfire 3 mil crits
Ill give it a look, thanks! Anything else that has to be swapped? Or keep the rest the same?
Mostly just swapping skills as needed to coordinate with your group. It's also really nice to have a FI healer build as well to have that option available.
The YouTube bighorn special
No, you can use it but other options are so much more superior
If you can reliably hit headshots it does silly damage in PvE
Thatβs why I said standard YouTube build not βmy buildβ π
That triple blue emperors guard is beautiful tho
Matador
Chest talent is perfectly efficient
I prefer belstone with unbreakable solo , perf eff group
Have you messed with spotter mortar?
to clarify, i'm talking about the incendiary sticky bomb, not the firestarter chem. i just want a way to take out groups of enemies from behind cover.
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
Look up a guide for exotics
He knows what to do, the great one wills it 
The priority objectives and daily projects are solid exo component farms
firestarter's 2-step process is just sorta weird/clunky to me
You know about double clicking to ignite chem
explain it to me
coolio
If you hit a target that's firing theyll ignite it for you
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.
even if it can't go through cover, you couldn't fire a sticky over a piece of cover?
Iβm 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!
on both versions you want the shield anyway
heal drones just tell other people that they're going to get some carrying done
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.
Why repair drone on HB.... You're you're building armor already and a shield.
that's what he's saying
No it doesn arc like the chems.
You may be able to tack it to cover behind npc if it put them in the radius. You could also try and stick it to the floor next to the npc, but npc has to be in radius of blast
sticky bomb doesn't hit if there's no line of sight on the enemy, even if it's within the radius. that's imo the best way to put it
chem (oxi or fire) will hit anything within radius regardless of LOS
When aiming the skill you should see the circle go red when it'll hit an enemy.
Yeah. I did mention los before so I'm sure its understood
The issue is about NPCs in cover. And trying to burn with sticky. Instant use like you mention is best practice for usage, no doubt
Ah
what could replace the matador bp since i dont have it and need to go in dz or conflit to farm it?
a normal ad rush backpack like gila, golan, or whatever
ty
This is my current build. Donβt consider myself an expert by any means just enjoy playing it. Iβm only doing hard levels at the moment, but problem is I need to take the plunge to the next level as Iβm not getting any new stuff thatβs worthwhile
Why 5????
Open to suggestions I have no idea π
Needs Crusader shield, a gun with Flatline and Technicianβs Linked laser pointer mod, Ceska Vigilance backpack. Thatβd be a good tune up
This is not the first part with secret sets!!))
Blue modifiers, tell me that this is not protection from the elite!?))
Cheers mate!! My inventory and stash are full so improbably have some in there
Glad Iβve come here now as Iβm not sure whatβs the best modifies to have, just been winging it tbh
crit chance,crit damage
Guess what I have so far has done me okay on hard mode but probably wonβt suffice moving up then
if the build is sniper-head damage, if turrets-acceleration
I do love my turrets, tried others but just found the turrets were the best for me.
Yes, it will be harder on heroism + directives
No, there's just a build purely for damage from turrets and drones!
Where do I find all this stuff out?? Any recommended watches or reads?
Gun with flatline talent and linked laser pointer will proc Heartbreaker and give you damage and bonus armour. Vigilance backpack is damage buff and the shield lets you keep that up
Cheers pal! No what Iβm doing next time I switch on
Iβll post back if itβs okay when I sort it
NP I am no build wiz but that should help
There is a pin here linking to a very nice spreadsheet with lots of builds. Check that out
Any spotter dz builds ?
Do I switch back to strikers gear set or is there something else with better DPS, coming back to division after a pause need some advice
Cheers man!! Thatβs exactly what Iβm looking for
Updated striker build, they say is still top dog:https://lite.evernote.com/note/0ee25268-ad51-0dd8-be36-f12373c7630a
appreciate it π
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.
Cheers @urban latch I know Iβm a real hoarder
pestilence- exotic machine gun for this build
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
wait replace st elmo's with pestilence. can you provide more information why?
It's been improved!and he's good at this build!Just try it!
ill give it a go, appreciate it.π
For what it's worth I prefer the vigi/shield setup you've got over running the backpack and lmg
But it's ultimately down to preference between the two
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
Some build with capacitor
Walker over fenris here
Pesti is pretty good actually.
No doubt, I just like my HE AR's for OD too much
And I will not hear anything about the Carnage, hate that thing
For OD I'd rather go Rifle or AR.
Naw same boat. My issue running Carnage is if you're good at keep ammo in both guys then sure it's a good weapon to have has backup or swap around.
Yeah, Lexington just reloads so damn quick, super accurate, can't really be beat
I like it
I hear they're nerfing it but I don't think it'll matter a ton. I haven't kept up with whatever changes are happening
it wont
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 itβs 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.
Does the overload armaments gear talent apply to marksmen rifles or only rifle?
Is the aegis gear set good for a build?
rifle only
π‘
Not really. There's better tank builds so it just doesn't do anything spectacular
Ok, that's what I thought
What other guns do u rec as an alternative to white death?
model 700, mantis
I still use my SR1.
my clutch build. still needs to be polished. more chd and health on each gear piece
its ok in pve, its mainly meant for pvp. can add more blues if needed. but a decent 3/3 red and blue balance is ok to
you mainly stack into health since it will help you alot when arm gets depleted. but clutch def needs a buff. please devs, revive my man. atleast a bigger threshold. 20% perfect bp is low even in gunfights
Clutch isnβt good and even less in PvP.
Devβs arenβt reading these channels for this.
Ik they arenβt. But in general for anyone looking at clutch. Thatβs how you build it
Health and chd, on a smg build. Blues help survivability in general. But to much blue can harm your dmg.
Whatβs a good chc/chd to shoot for with this build ?
Something new Iβm trying out for dz
better off using 4p umbra w/ chest, contractors and then vigi bag with whatever u prefer
I run it like this so that the iron lung is a laser
wouldnt worry about chd when it comes to umbra since its gonna give like 200 chd at max stacks so invest in chc rather
Gotcha
vigi will hit hard esp
esp when running a decoy
that burst damage is gonna surprise ppl
yeah I have a vigi setup just seen some people running this so I wanted to try it
Iβm a huge fun of the ninja bike sheβs my baby
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
Yeah Iβm 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 canβt let it go but Iβm 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
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
just duck into cover for like 5 seconds then jump out
but its been bugged for a lil by needing to swap a piece off, then put that same piece back on
Can I theoretically use perpetuation on an OD build? Is it better dmg than sadist?
i havent had this happen
everytime ive put it on, ive needed to swap my chest off and put it back on for the set to work
sometimes it fixes itself no issue but
the game just works ig
you do need to be in combat to make your stacks
im aware
ye
Nothing can really beat sadist amp dmg % that can be proc as easily.
Honeslty sadist is one of the best talents period
itd be nice if perpetuation had a decent setup to use it on at all. only eclipse can really benefit, and only if its like foam/emp.. fire gets more damage out of capacitor.
We arenβt.. But isnβt not great against things that donβt have Heads.
Itβs just a normal AR without any talents against, Tanks, Dogs, and Chungs till the helmet breaks.
swap to mortar when doing invaded/legendary, problem solved
Mortar Supremacy 
it gets spent on the helmet
but applies afaik
Armor Plates donβt have a body type.
can check if you have damage numbers print to chat box, and check when you pop a helmet
finally fully unicorned out? π¦
youll get there. just think, at some point youll have 3 other alts to fill out π
last chance to get any easy yaahl mats from the clan vendor. reset is tonight
at some point exo components will be the only bottle neck. thats why im running 4 sets of daily/weekly projects
i was able to get 2 out of the 3 waveforms i needed for alts this week too. he smiled on me this week 
thatll be a @magic pilot question. i got nothing on pvp
If you have mastered pve step into the dz and get your toes wet
Initial damage might be higher but when striker stacks are up that'll do more
That's why most use a shotgun like Rock n Roll to get the striker stacks up very quickly
Fly through pve
No stacks needed, can take your time
I trade out the 3 pc prov for the 8 dmg TTOOC and DTA
Chest talent is all in what you prefer unbreakable saves you but isnβt needed when you have hive
Learn spawns kill before they can shoot
Still die anyway, in my case
Oh yeah I hate all red, just for raids at this point
Kill 2 ads every 30 second build
im over here rocking m1a on striker 
it is really nice when you already stacked from the ar
No longer getting trigger finger at least
no doubt
I miss my Six12...
3 prov, contractors, fox's, grupo is how i would run. glass and vig . im pretty selfish when its a choice of running coyote or more chd from grupo. a lot of times there are plenty of coyote
Iβm a glass hater but I agree switch out coyotes with grupo if in group if solo keep coyotes
I deleted Coyote a long time ago; I don't like any of those talents that have range requirements on
π€π»
crit pieces = picaro's?
You have 9 holsters xD
Why would you go Prov if you already have three pieces? Are you swapping another out?
that is curious indeed π€
You'd be better off with Grupo/Ceska based around your CHD/CHC needs
could be going for contractor's gloves so i could see a providence holster π€
but that has to be some terrible luck on providence holster not giving chc/chd
Yeah, red rolls are more common
I still think Grupo/Ceska might offer more in terms of flexibility. Petrov, unless you're using an LMG, is kinda going to waste
well, contractor's is petrov so
Or even Fenris if you're using primarily AR's
Oh for sure, you'll still have to grab that. If you can do countdown it's easiest to target Prov in there
It do be like that
And yet, there's only one Ongoing Directive. My baby
Sadist is all you need
Sadist, wicked on the backpack and OD chest
Riot foam to proc a status while locking down an enemy and it's gg
I said it earlier but I just hate LMG's lol
The extra 5% or whatever is so negligible
Same; it's that suppression thing that irks me
That and the bloom stuff. Can't be messed with doing that
I always forget if it's accuracy or stability so I just say bloom lol
This why I use iron lung
Bighorn. That's it.
I miss six12
So busted
Lol
Six12 with brazen and BLB stacks? Omg
When Brazen was bugged that was just silly dumb.. I got to 200mill per pellet.
Very weird..
Must have just been stacking on stacks. The math was mathing too hard
you could have multiple brazen instances active
A lot of dmg.
Adds stacks of amplified damage per shot based on pellet hits
Oh good old amp
Lost. Recap what the issues? BH has no CHC at all.
How much damage do you put out
Keep build run Elmoβs instead
Or any preferred ar that doesnβt need headshots
Well nvm youβre pc your guns have 0 recoil
Iβm glad someone likes it π
Us controller players that donβt use cronus let it collect dust
I use it because β¦. Laser
Been running capacitor more cause itβs the only assault rifle that can have DTTOOC and DTA
and itβs a laser too
So tiny yet so deadly
No diddy
If Iβm wanting to run a marksman rifle and assault rifle what armour would best suit
Imo no point run CHC with BH.
we have recoil. just master it. i do the same when i play on controller
once you master it. its a game changer for any shooter game in general
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?
You mentioned you already got your SHD watch, right?
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.
Thank you for the detailed guide! really appreciate your help mate!
Will try that right away! It seemed very overwhelming in the beginning. There is more buttons and menus to navigate than I have time to play π
go ahead and box up that Waveform and send it out. addressed to: Localdeck, Washington DC.. i dont know where ill be, but they can follow the mortar sounds when they get here
It's whole talent is based off hsd which is additive to chd
So generally you build one or the other
Does anyone know what combo hits harder for a max crit dps build? (with 3pc providence)
contractors gloves, fox prayer & 1pc grupo
or
Coyote mask, fox prayer & 1pc grupo?
Situation depends. In long distance, coyotes crit chance buff helps but not too much. It's the mid and short range buff it gives that makes coyotes shine (most fights are close range anyways)
25% extra chd I believe for close range
I wanna change from my skill-dependant build to a AR build with lot of dps, i have a Elmo's Engine and rh i'm farming for a striker set, what else should i look for ?
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)
Awesome thank you !
Striker will always be better for DPS, but this build gives you better variety and you can slot things in however you want without relying on ceska and coyote to carry you to 50 CHC lol
Yup will keep that in mind and looking for what suits me best, but your tips help me a lot !
Heartbreaker is another great gearset for tankiness AND damage. Basically Striker's fat cousin that refuses to go down
Pair it with exotic backpack memento and use flatline weapons with linked Laser Pointer and you'll basically never die so long as you keep killing π€
I'm loving how i have all exotics you say in my stash hehe, testing will be fun π
Basically the best exotics so far for damage or good utility is coyote, memento, centurions scabbard, BTSU gloves, waveform and Dodge city
Yeah i already used the Coyote and it's awesome
Some can argue catharsis but that's more a pvp thing
I'm waiting to see how master difficulty hits. Wondering about this "Oppressor" exotic or whatever they named the damn thing. It's basically knockoff Aegis talent but as a wasted chest plate slot instead
I got a tardigrade pvp build I wanna slap it on and convert it to an oppressor build. Would damage reduction be worth it? Or is Tardigrade still on top? We will soon find out π€·
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO π
but wait, is this a fixed drop or is it like acostas kneepads??? Bc if I can get Regen and crit, that would be godly
If not hazpro and Regen are still solid attributes for that
Pair that with Ad Rush π©
New pvp toy I cannot wait
Oh it's the provocator ππ
Oppressor sounds cooler
They never told us anything about it except listing the talent on the patch notes. Someone else can find out because I'm never doing master more than once. I have ptsd now π«£
It's that hard?
Sounds to me like my buddy's Ridgeway foundry build is gonna come in handy on this one ππ
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.
But I definitely recommend PFE tank with crit rolls. I tried it in a random group and everyone was dropping like flies.
It'll be good to see what builds people use for it.
I get the feeling tech tanks will be "meta" for this one, or damage foundry. Obviously striker might be viable but there's gonna have to be a healer and maybe striker with some blues
High rate drop
Give the speed runners about 30m and they'll be telling us how to get 11m clears... Or let MrChow school us on this one π€
Hi
Nah the chests attributes
Not there yet. Current speed is 17mins
It's fixed.
Watching it looks interesting. That's a lot of spawns.
I'll be on my tech tank for the first run.
Lol didn't I call it ππ
How would striker with 4 blues, ninja bike and tech work? Should at least bring you to Shield tier 6 and the extra skill tiers should boost the Artificer hive
I know I'm entertaining the idea of ninja bike asspack but I wonder how it would perform. Will have to find time this week and finish my last 2 manhunt scouts and give Master a try with it
This would be my build for attempting mastery. Sounds really stupid and looks stupid but isn't there modifiers on Master difficulty? Bc if so, you should be getting damage buffs from modifiers
nah you just get a bunch of stupid deaths from the enemy fire ammo modifier
I'm planning EB memento striker, with 3b it's a good mix of tanky and damage. Can't test it out on the new mission until I get off work though π’
Provocateur Mk II
I'd do it with Catharsis + PFE Strikers if I wasn't 5000 miles from home
Sounds like it's gonna be a striker hazpro build with backfire
It might work. I'm assuming it's gonna be Legendary but with modifiers so it likely won't be often I'll be running around picking up trophies
Modifiers are optional
has the lvoa-c been nerfed since it became one of the best ARΒ΄s or can i still use it
havent been on in a while
Nerf is for next update
good to know, hopefully they dont destroy it like they do with alot of nerfs
itd be nice if they kept it viable
Damn, didn't know a lot of nerf just destroys things
definitely not all the time, but basically since 2020 they just sorta roll the dice and nerf fun weapons each season
Its only a 1.1% nerf, not gonna change much
Unusable, broken game
It's by far the best AR still
Literally unplayable
oh nice
so true π
Gonna run the basic ass 3 then: All out active modifier with sub mods being: by the teeth, the one with weapon stability and the one with the 3 zone bonuses. Play long range lol and cheese the distance modifier
As someone who died while 11 hyenas were using fire ammo, I can confirm it.
I've refrained from using Striker's any time I've played just out of arbitrary rules. Even with awful guns and modifiers this kit is just nutty. Non proficient bluescreen hitting 2M crits lol
best assoult rifle ? high end (no lexington i donβt have it)
well that is personal i think, some are better than other but not that much
All are pretty close
the main distinguishing factor for most will be if they're doing Spotter/Heartbreaker with Flatline and whether it has a long rail for the pulse laser
Anyone have a spotter dark zone build I could take a peak at?
sir
don't patronize me
I'm sorry i have doubted your wisdom, sir
but what are the chances I'm not?
critical hit junkies
Aegis stacks with the new exo chest π
Why wouldn't it?
Does it preform?
I think it postforms personally
Itβs not bad. Ob momento is better overall. For more regen and awd on pickups. But not to bad. Ebβ¦ bro you are tanking shots when tenacity is proc
Chest is good cqb fights. HF smg build do good with it
No defender drone
2 Golan matador> 3 Gila
Donβt have matador
Just to note it's only 20% in PvP.
can someone post pic of new chestpiece stats pls
25% dmg protection from enemies within 20m
hm
Chill out mask worth anything? I've been collecting a ton of those.
Niche uses in the raids
idk if id use that tbh, i can see alot of ways it could be cool tho
It's mostly good if you want the brand bonus. Outside of that it's meh.
damn thats sad
Question and I think Ik the answer but ima check myself, wonβt 99% pulse resistance work?
Still says youβve been pulsed but you havenβt
Just keep a couple mods in that case.
But with 100% HB wonβt stack? Good to know
Just swap if you are fighting HB peeps.
Havenβt seen much HB lately NGL
Exactly, easier to just keep a mod around incase some youtube trend hits again.
Yeah I have the 10% mod but my buddy doesnβt and he was copying my build. And asked me if 99% works but I wasnβt sure
I feel like getting a 9.9% mod is a way of the devs getting off
I'm trying to compare two builds I have to find out why one does more damage than the other when it seemed like it wouldn't. Using the Division 2 build tool it shows the one with higher CHD to do more damage per shot, but in game it's the opposite. Is the shooting range not worth it for damage numbers?
well it can give a idea but better to test ur build in the battlefield
Pinned messages has a DPS calc. Put your numbers into that.
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
Great, thanks all!
Question im using hunter fury 1866 rifle one shot determined build and on challenging i clear everythjng no problem get up to 24m damage in chainkiller but when i switch to heroic i get downed instantly and barely do over 14m damage sometimes not even killing elites wats the reason for this huge diff/any tips?
Do i need more red cores? Is it survivability? Idk why heroic is so much harder/mildly impossible when challenging is so easy
I run this and have no problem on Heroic
All red cores with The Sacrifice so not the best survivability but just clear them before you dieππΌ
Old sniper build tho, maybe meta is different now but still works great for me
DPS means DMG per second, not per shot.
Yeah I know, I was trying to figure out why a crit shot was higher than I expected, not necessarily the Damage Per Second
if you have different talents on each build, the build tool is notorious for not accounting for talents so it's usually the issue
You need to hit for around 9.8m to one shot an elite on Heroic (solo)
Are you not getting to max stacks, or is the build different? We don't really have enough information to know what's going on based on what you've said
4 piece hunter fury palisade chest for armor on kill with chainkiller im past the 150% headshot damage with determined 1866 nemesis and sharpshooter tac 50
I kill with tac 50 or nemsis but i cap out at around 14m damage on heroic while challenging im easily passing 25m damage
Does heroic have diff armor values or i just need to adjust some damage numbers cuz heroic feels like im not getting my max values anymore
the damage you do at cap shouldnt change just because of a different difficulty setting, so something else is going on
difficulty effect the amount of health enemies have, not the amount of damage being done
Thats wat i assumed so i dont understand my problem then
a recording or screenshots might help
I thought it was the hunter fury buff and me not being close enough to activate but ive still never seen my cap go above 18m on heroic
Is anyone able to help me level up on Xbox
did your modifiers get activated or deactivated?
Need all headshot dmg not chc or chd
All the reds are hsd the chc/chd is leftover from other stats
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
Ah hell idk then should be one shotting
Yea ill figure it out ig stupid game
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
i was going to say, maybe memento stacks not being high enough?
every time you die you lose stacks
^
hunter's fury is stronger when you use shotgun and play close
24 mill might also be with HF stacks.
that sounds like 1886 with everything maxed yeah
non invaded ye
@low narwhal guess we playing Tarkov now
(is it any good)
Not really but fun to try I guess. I read that if you build has a bit of weapon handling, it can be a fun gun to use.
Maybe good gun to use in artillery build since it gets boosted by explosive damage attribute
OF COURSE IT GIVES ME A CESKA VEST AFTER I ALREADY GOT ONE
MOTHER F-
(doesn't even have the good perk...)
wow! this is worthless.gif
pretty much yeah
Ahh I was helping someone out together their striker build and luckily I dropped a Ceska chest w CHC/CHD for them also. Some people have it easyπ
It's a fun gun if that's you're thing. My old build for it was umbra and enough WH so there wouldn't much recoil and it was fun to run in CD and some stuff.
Thatβs a cool build to try tbh
As a healer for the scorpion would i roll for fire rate or magazine size ?
What is a good build for the new exotic chest piece?
Donβt really know yet lol, but it could work on PvP regen or PvE PFE builds
IMO itβs not better than intimdate or vanguard for their respective uses
It could be better than efficient+catharsis, but thatβs a big maybe
why the habs bag
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
Keep getting destroyed in anything above hard. Any ideas?
Play more
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
Try this Ouro set up π works wonders
4pc striker with Coyote and Grupo with Obliterate
If someone is stuck on Hard difficulty, it's unlikely that they have the Ouro.
Striker chest sucks in content where you can't stack to 200 stacks
He has it in the picture hehe
They do have the ouro in the screenshot before haha
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
Solo heroic is very hard for me, I get shot down too easily.
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
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
Yeah I gotta be more patient lol and lose the sniper maybe? Go for AR?
I run ACS/Rock N Roll to build stacks
clan vendor this week
dont really need second ar wiith Ouro
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.
I would lose the sniper for an AR imo so you can take safer distances
I do have a rock and roll
Yeah true tho Ouro has crazy RPM so
But then Iβm stuck at close range
Would a Famas maybe be a good secondary?
Lexington is ideal if you have it, famas is fine too though
A regular ACS is superior to a Rock&Roll, since you can get a proper Talent on it.
I already have 50+ % crit chance with Grupo, rather keep the Grupo then for the Damage no?
That extra mag size is not useful, since you can already nearly max out your stacks without the boost.
Rivens the AI lesbian is a hell of a name btw lmao
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.
I run Ceska on my Elmo DPS to since I lose out on the Crit Chance from swapping Ouro
It's still better to use Ceska, so you can have more CHD attribute rolls.
You can also do Lefty which can uniquely take an RPM mod unlike normal AA12s
CHD rolls are 12%, chc rolls are 6%, basically.
So go Ceska chest? What piece of strikers do I farm for replacement
Lefty is a great alternative, if you can make use of the Talent.
If any of your strikers pieces has CHC replace it with one with CHD
Ceska Chest, Coyotes Mask, the rest go Strikers.
That's a fairly standard build.
or just recalibrate it really
Kk thanks for the ideas everyone
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.
well the left one is with Ceska, right one is with Grupo, you think ceska would be better dps?
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.
Trading 7% more CHC for 15% CHD? I thought I would be better off with Grupo
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.
ceska lets you squeeze out more chd
Yeah thats what I had in mind, with Ceska I would be at 60% CHC
you can change one of your rolls to chd
Perfect!
yeah with that + CHD mod I get 60% CHC and 163% CHD
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
I usually never run SMG/AR, just switch from SMG DPS to AR DPS depending on the situation I am in
I can't quite recall if ouro caps chance with all chd attributes on gear
The SHD watch also gives you +10% CHC, and +20% CHD, so you can take that into effect if you are wihtout them yet.
My CHC and CHD on SHD watch are maxed
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
π€
Okay I will give it a shot, thought 60% chc just could have been a lil overkill
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
Yeah π 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? π
Yup taking medium buff with coyote would push that to cap at 60% with only 0.5% wasted too which is pretty great
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?
trash all armor on kill and incoming repair mods
keep god roll red and yellow mods
if you have surplus, give to mules
yeah
Also, is farming countdown with Gear System Mods a viable way to try and geat god roll mods?
never tried that actually
you can, i'd recommend summit legendary tho
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
you definitely can get them a lot easier now
Great, any of the 2 Exotics in this season pass that are usable?
Theyβre both good
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
If you're running striker you're normally only using it to stack anyway
I either use lefty or fast hands
Yeah just using it for stacks just wanna have the best one possible hehe
More so for the novelty than actual use
Flatline if youβre running pulse, brazen for damage, fast hands for reload
short answer brazen
acs never really needed to stack tho. if its really desired use lefty and give a team buff when opportunity arrives
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?
Shock trap
At tier 6 shock trap has impressive range and hold ability
Above heroic, blinder firefly has dramatically decreased effectiveness.
Sledge was nerfed and only buffs the user now
use foam and fire sticky. fire sticky offers a lot of damage . are you a traditional eclipse build with ep bag? or is it for pure cc and creeping death
reverted right after. it is less damage tho, but benefits team still
Oh hey, nice
pure cc with creeping death
I use eclipse bag on my burn build
wait really? I normally use left because I thought it buff team, if it buff only me no use in using it anymore, there are better weapon out there
literally two messages down is the clarification that they went back on it
Since this is a public server, you should get used to people re-asking questions that are answered on the same page.
It's just a fact of life on here.
lol yeah I miss, didn't concentrate on that XD
Brazen or close and personal imo
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.
I might convert my build to use an electrique backpack with opp on it and use BTSU for team overcharge. I'm usually running a stinger hive and firestarter chem, could easily swap it to foam
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?
Survivalist is cool for cc with the 10 percent free amp for your team
Tech doesn't really offer anything for eclipse tbh
Is obliterate good for dark winter? People keep telling me to use it (chest piece)
It's good for any crit based build
