2.1 x 1.25 (vigilance) = 2.625 HB vs 2.8 striker so it's only 6.7% less

agile citrus
#

I should clarify, hb SET vs striker set

buoyant perch
#

that's my math is about

pastel crane
#

Uh-huh.

Anyone else wanna answer

stark flicker
#

Is the mop a good secondary in a high end build?

agile citrus
#

I should clarify. Imo it's becasue the weapon is a side arm that has an effect that has a niche use. basically to proc tempest, you need to purposely get your shield destroyed. which might have been viable in theory but you cant remove or reduce shield break concussion effect. which means you have to eat and then you get a 3 shot pistol with bonus dmg for a bit

using this with tinkerer is kinda ok cuz you cant have main or secondary exo. but just my opinion

stark flicker

#

sighs I'm not using it for the talent. I'm using it as itself. As part of a pistol build

If you want to do something different tempest is that. Good otherwise not really.

I mean its stronger than its not exo

Pistol wise One Shotting is better.

when work is over Im rolling some missions with this

stark flicker
# agile citrus I guess

If you want smth to swap to in a pinch tempest is alright but pistols are generally a utility slot unless you go full into pistol you'd be better off with a kard or quickstep

#

Wrong reply

subtle bluff
#

Orbit is better backup for the buff it does...

#

Tempest is again something if you want to do something different have at it with it. By no means it does good DPS.

P. Finisher

stark flicker
#

Ye the one that gives chc/d on swap

subtle bluff
#

yup

stark flicker
#

I meant finisher I just couldn't remember the name

hazy steeple
#

Easy way to remember: it's called "finisher", because now you're finished with it, and will only use Quickstep.

agile citrus
#

The reason why tempest is just a terrible weapon. Is because even with 100% has pro, you can't remove shield disorient. The only reason pistol builds are viable, because they lack a lot of stats and range, is because they work in tandem with the ballistic shield. This one cannot do this. In addition to that, because you have to eat the shield days before you can even use it, this means that a regular non-exotic 93R with optimist or something, is as strong as it but can use a shield with it

hazy steeple
#

I'm not saying Tempest is bad, I'm just saying that Quickstep's benefit outweighs any other pistol, outside of the Regulus.

agile citrus
#

But if you wanted to, you would just use a regulus build. It would give you a lot of bonus damage to pistol and headshot. Which is what pistols are good for

#

If I did make this set, I would run obliterate. Cuz that's better for 93r

agile citrus
#

I usually use it alongside a killer Lexington

hazy steeple
#

I hate to be "that agent", but is there a reason to use it over, say, a good high-end gun?

#

Does it actually increase the DPS, or is it a "for fun" thing, which is totally valid of course, but the question needs to be asked.

rich cosmos
#

Gear set descriptions are finally out for chest and bp

hazy steeple
#
agile citrus
# hazy steeple Does it actually increase the DPS, or is it a "for fun" thing, which is totally ...

The answer is yes and no. So the big issue, is it's a effect. The 93R, with say optimist or killer or measured, will do as much damage as the tempest in its base form. This means that it locks you out of using an EXO on your main or secondary for no DPS gain. However in the off chance, that you don't have a main or secondary exo, and you do happen to lose your shield... Technically it is one of the most powerful pistols in the game. The problem is that the daze That's inflicted by shield break is unique. You cannot get rid of it or nullify it or shorten it. This means that you're going to take a hit, and it would be better just to run Liberty regulus busy be anything else

#

This is why it runs well with tinker. Because you may as well have something in case you're shield breaks

hazy steeple
#

I ain't reading that, but I believe you.

magic pilot
#

TL:DR its the best pistol to have if your shield breaks, otherwise it just sucks

agile citrus
#

Good pistol for crusader shield. Bad for ballistic, which is for pistol builds

magic pilot
#

Pairs well with tinkerer since you can't use an exotic primary

hazy steeple
#

@agile citrus You should hire dien to do your tl;dr's

I'm going to be honest. It's probably a PVP thing

#

Before I join the game, there was some big Nerf to the way Shields worked in PvP. Making them really really weak, and it probably has something to do with that

stark flicker
#

So just have it active in pvp they can do pvp only stuff without affecting pve like with overcharge

# stark flicker Is the mop a good secondary in a high end build?

I noticed no one answered this. I actually did try, to integrate this into heartbreaker. What I found, was that it's fire rate without fire rate boosters doesn't play well with stacks. I also found that it's head tap, due to really short range isn't really good for headhunter, and it's usually good for a set that doesn't rely on its secondary for anything. That way you can pop it out get a bunch of armor back, and then put it away and forget it

#

The short version, has bad fire rate for stacks, low damage for starting headhunter and range, but is good for regening armor

agile citrus
#

Same answer. It could work on a nostack, but mostly just armor regen

#

If you're going to run a no stack, you get better mileage out of an ACS 12 with dtooc and pers

#

The only use I found for it, was on my chungus build. Because the chungus build suffers from pretty bad armor problems. The minigun sucks. And chungus true son throws down his missile launcher when his backpack explodes and takes up a shotgun

I’ve found my regular Kard pistol a lot more effective for a chd/chc pistol build. I made the wrong decision to get Tempest to lvl 30

#

3pc imminence, 1pc DH, and overdogs, vigilance and obliterate

#

Hitting up to 2.8 million on head crit this season with it. Demolishes everything at high accuracy, I had 4 blue cores at the time.

#

I’m gunna get the pistol to lvl 30 and trying to hit 3 million damage on it

#

In heroic solo, completely destroys named elites in half a clip or less

#

I’ve found the pistol to be very usable at AR range while having a bulwark shield protecting you. Main drawback of this pistol? You can’t use quickstep without having to switch to it

Thats the only explanation for the sheer downgrading of it in this game

I’ll have another go at Tempest this weekend, but I feel the Kriss Kard just outstrips it in almost every way. The one thing that made me drop it was the long reload time tbh. I felt every time I went to reload, one of my teammates usually finishes off an enemy I was focusing on.

if you look at the game code the stats from elmo and lexington are from the gun named police M4, not that they are AR plataforms in similarity in real life

merciless might be one of the few completely unique exotics

My problem is that the actual in game lvoa is being completely ignored

even during project resolve

I still hold the opinion that project resolve didn’t do nearly enough

# silent storm I mean so many things are M4s

Take into account that the game takes place in the United States, which the US Military has adopted 5.56x45mm NATO. Majority of the service rifles are on the M4 platform because it's what they've been using since the Vietnam era (M16s, early M4 Carbines, etc). Hasn't changed since

#

Plus, it's familiar. Ask any weapon-familiar American how to use an M4 style weapon, they could probably show you. Don't ask for Bloc weapons tho 😂

Other than the name, no

strong cave
# worn imp is there any meaningful difference between the MK46 and M249 LMGs?

For a gun nut, such as myself, I've found the difference between the two irl coming down to missing features. M249 is heavier because it has all the "features" it's meant to have. The MK46 is an M249 with some missing features made specifically for SOCOM. You get the same firepower for less the weight. Pretty cool

#

Figured I'd post that if anyone else was curious and who likes guns 👌

vestal atlas
#

to say there is no difference at all with the mk46/m249 para/m249 B is not completely true, the mk46 has a tiny bit better handling in a tiny bit less vertical recoil, not noticeable unless you A-B it but it is there, if you are going to grade one to 30, mught as well go for the mk46

BTSU is suuuuper strong for healers so IMO it's hard to swap it out for Birdie's but I suppose you can.

What I don't like about Birdie's is it only kicks in when things get bad. But you can build around not letting things get bad in the first place.

I guess the question to ask is: would the run need to be saved at all if you had a good build on? I don't know what you were running and what the situation was but it's always a question that needs to be asked.

I've seen a lot of people say they "carried" a whole group by running all blue, explo resist, pfe type builds. They think they carried because team members kept going down and they ran in to save them. But one of the reasons people go down is the team DPS isn't high enough.

So in other words they're "saving" the team from a problem that they sort of caused.

theres always a why? i get that why run this if you can keep them alive why run that when this is superior

#

im just trying to find something that works, i remember playing around with capacitor when it first came out and made some solid damage hybrids, umbra came out i mashed it together and now we have it in meta

astral kraken
# glossy rover theres always a why? i get that why run this if you can keep them alive why run ...

It's highly situational.

Here's an example: legendary DUA garage. For newer players that encounter is a nightmare because you have 3 drone operators that like to hide, 2 minitanks, and a wave of grenadiers at the end.

You can run DPS for that encounter but it might not be enough if your team is too weak. You might get really unlucky with how the drone operators position or something like that.

But if you ran a Measured Assembly healer you completely nullify the drone operators, minitanks, and make the grenadiers a much less threat. Not to mention healing the team. That'll keep people alive and shooting and comfortably clear the room.

#

(it's also an enclosed space so your MA build will shine)

subtle bluff
#

You can get away with a lot with seasonal modifiers and things.

MA does look enticing but the backpack looks like it would almost be a need with the amount of drone operators that spawn

@astral kraken I’m not as good as you but can you run this build in master?

astral kraken
# foggy imp Damn good to know. I’ll give your set up a chance and see how it runs in countdo...

I mean use your discretion and pay close attention to how much damage you're actually doing when it matters. The issue I have with Overdogs is the enemy hierarchy it creates doesn't match with how I prioritize targets. My priorities are usually the most threatening targets and those are high up the hierarchy chain - so Overdogs is doing nothing for me. There are enemies that I'm used to killing with a single mag that Overdogs can't do.

subtle bluff
#

Oh. Ehh... MA is niche for teams that need crutch becuse they can't shooot and DPS ads quick enough.

shy willow
#

I've heard good things about overdogs but nothing beats the comfort of exodus gloves for me

astral kraken
#

Also the first encounter has a lot of enemy RNG. Sometimes you'll get drone operators, sometimes minitanks.

# glossy rover speaking of Bonus armour, imo we need more ways to apply it to self/team

There are build for that, I don’t remembered the names but the chest if you pop your shield, your team would get armor bonus 50% of your armor and last for 10 sec or so idk. The backpack if you shock them, anyone within 30m or so will get the armor bonus of 50%. So in total you can give 100% bonus armor to your team but this means you have to be a tank of 2M armor. Or use refactor with backpack and keep you alive. Birdie is only a backup to revive when multiple team mate dead or if you know your team isn’t good at cover to cover (mostly don’t cover) then run birdie. Refactor is better for lazy players to heal the team than using FI or MA. Hence, I’m always using my refactor in leg mostly unless if I run with someone ik can do heavy dmg I’d use FI and follow that person.

The gift isn't all that great of a backpack to use anymore. Better builds/backpacks slot in

astral kraken

# astral kraken too inconsistent plus i need the decoy and emp sticky

it might not be worth in your opinion, but its not inconsistent. it follws a straight forward rule set.

  • it bugs out if you throw around cover. out of cover and over (not next to edge) always works
  • it attacks short range in a shotgun cone
  • it attcks long rnge in a straight path after 30 meters for first target. it will not spread out, it will continue forward.
#

it also has an instant cast that will wreck the first weak point or hazard it sees

#

trust me, after I began using it, I bsiaclly went sylar on it (heros refrence) determined to make it work functionally

Literally just run it for the extra countdown money to buy named cache or exotic

Still better to just run challenging. Clear speed is key for farming

you should probably do retaliation instead since you get named caches + exotic caches for completion too and you can craft reconstructed caches which might give you the gift blueprint

agile citrus
#

For the record. Most of the time if you are trying to use the gift alongside the other piece. Such as the old pistol build, the chess piece is usually Providence, with perfect glass cannon. The backpack is usually ceska, which has 10% crit chance. If you used Providence and the gift, you would get both of these, and the one second cooldown reduction

agile citrus
#

The obliterates backpack with vigilance is good. But if you're already using glass cannon or perfect glass cannon you may as well run the gift

onyx sage
#

most players do not play like this

The other thing is vigil respects shield and bonus armor. And one of the most common uses of vigil backpack, is heartbreaker.

Retals can also net you extra reconstructed caches so even if it’s low CP counts it ends up working out better doesn’t it.

If you’re really lucky you’ll net a blueprint that’s pretty much problem solved

# trim abyss thanks!

You might as well build refactor too, pretty fun to play in leggo with refactor. You can send your drone to atk drone operators or healer or bomber so they disrupt their skills and make things easier on your team. Especially in tidal or where drone operators units, send your drone in to atk them. The build would be using motherly love glove, you can craft this at the craft station. You can use waveform and motherly love together and if you need to use birdie, hotswap waveform for refactor, Both are my favor than MA.

@subtle bluff can we PLS have an honest moment? 30% amp is about +150k per bullet at 1.2m (without) Im not saying this isnt worth, Im saying utility is sometimes worth more. sustained dmg is worth more than suicide bomb

#

outside of speedrunning

#

Im also being generous... I think 30% amp at 1.2m is more like.. 90-100k

#

when you dont even notice the ttk, was it really worth it? is 900 fps better than 90 is you personaly cant tell? this isnt to "argue" its to genuily ask if you believe 30% makes a ton of difference. sometimes people get caught up in the math of... but I MAKE HIM BIGGER, STRONGER! the difference in ttk should be noticable if your going to forgo utility for dmg

#

what utility? whatever amps you have on your build also need to consider team buffs. not sure if your 30% is refering to glass or overdogs but it could be a good chunk more damage once you factor in team buffs

agile citrus
#

overdogs. I think most people look at glasscannon, as a trade for half health. but because overdogs seems to be the +1 suggestion I wanted to ask if the ttk is genuily noticable

#

over catharsis 23% consistent buff, coyote, momento, a lot of exos

#

most builds at end game outside of striker hit about 1.2m, +30% amp is usually about 1.3, to 1.35m

#

this looks like a ton, but do you notice the ttk? 900 fps helps you react a .1 millisec faster, but will you ever be able to personaly tell?

hexed steppe
#

on nego, i find it noticeable. catharsis isnt even really something to consider on dps. coyote if it isnt close buff you are likely doing very little for the team . memento has its own strengths so i put it higher than coyote if its being utilized proper

I think catharsis is noticable. its wd buff sits at 23% its blue core, (half of 45%)so we can rub off 15% of the buff. its like 8% consistent dps, + heal that blends with shield, also a slight regen. I dont personally use catharsis, but its a good alt to memento if your not top dmg

with nego, shit melts a lot faster

I luv bluescreen soooo much. its such a sustained def/off weapon.

Im still not maining lmg, but its the only lmg Ill tolerate

ironlung can suckle a milk bottle, dumb firerate bonus nerf

i main bs over everything dps at this point. nego is 😍 , bluescreen is 😍

also have a stoner with the bulletking talent. I forget, looks like a hand mic dropping

that kneelpad is interesting it does work

#

I haven't tested it in the range to check it.

havent even ran the manhunt yet, so will need to try them next week sometime

lmk!

test a mortar setup with em. just like a basic 3 empress/2wyv/china. is it all damage like glass?

subtle bluff
#

Idk you're the mortar guy I just thought you'd know the best.

subtle bluff
#

For this master I can think mortar can be pretty decent in some of it.

Give it a try, I would recommend not using Glass cannon if you struggle with survivability. But it's a good teacher.

You learn very quickly to keep your head down with GC on

Control points are the fastest xp on the highest difficulty you can handle with as many directives active as possible

Yeah

Ngl i haven't been in the game for so long that i genuinely forgot that control points exist lmfao

I saw this post on Twitter. What do you think? New meta?

elder kindle
#

I don't think that chest will be able to replace Ceska+Obliterate in the meta. People prioritize CHC over ROF

idk overdogs just make other stuff better

#

Youll get an RPM boost at the cost of 12 CHD or depending, 6 CHC. I'd argue rolling the new holster CHC just for ease of keeping track of crit chance

i wonder if the rof won't gel with measured

strong cave
subtle bluff
#

I just went and looked at my OD vs BF clear for Lin lol

astral kraken
#

so like if you run measured it won't be that much of a benefit

#
  • striker rof
#

just thinking out loud i haven't done the math

strong cave
# astral kraken just thinking out loud i haven't done the math

Just based off my understanding of measured, you lose 25% weapon damage for an increase of like 25% rof? Then the other half you'll lose 25% rof for 25% damage. Assuming there's no goofy ass mechanics going on, you'll gain what, 13% rof?

First half measured: 25 + 13 = 38% ROF with 25% less damage

Second half: -12% ROF (-25 + 13 = -12) with 25% more damage

It sounds like it's making Measured better. That's just me spitballing tho. I don't have access to the PTS otherwise I would actually test this stuff

(Bear in mind I left out striker for easier math)

#

I can try to math out striker real quick hold up (again this is just me spitballing)

I've been liking the feel of the AKM lately due to the modifiers

Oooooooof

Why not use a custom graphics config to dumb down basically everything without losing quality of the game?

hoary atlas

#

Go to 720 and you'll be fine.

#

also tank in incursion isn't the way

magic pilot

I have a custom video setting file if you want it

I just see you in incursion that's all I'm saying

support tanks can do more than just stand around.

subtle bluff
#

the problem of tanks in div is you can't hold agro

#

if you want a test go to DUA leggo

#

incursion first section isn't that bad.

#

Im actually cant do full damage role only i can is survivability

subtle bluff
#

which only help yourself

hoary atlas
#

Only these two im use for survivability

subtle bluff
#

ok?

#

The left side one is solo build. Do not use that in a group

hoary atlas
#

Gloves one ?

subtle bluff
#

Memento

hoary atlas
#

Gloves one is Group ?

strong cave
# hoary atlas Gloves one ?

I'd strip a blue core off your overdogs build. And with memento for solo, I'd argue just taking all striker pieces as blue

subtle bluff
#

Memento is only powerful if out can get it's stacks up and stay up

#

In solo works but in group is hard to do unless your hard carrying

hoary atlas
#

The memento one im use for Retaliation

#

Im waiting New Gear set have Perfect Obliterate

strong cave
#

I'd argue nimble holster will be more viable than Memento for retaliation

hoary atlas
#

I don't have Nimble Holster

strong cave
#

Enemies don't shoot you going cover to cover as is and the massive Regen you get for so little effort is perfect for the open world

hoary atlas
#

Are Nimble Holster Drop random ?

strong cave
#

You can target loot Holsters in countdown OR retaliation

#

Or, you can keep playing retal and get the blueprint and craft it

hoary atlas
#

I see, thanks for Tips. Im gonna get Nimble Holster Blueprints
