I should clarify, hb SET vs striker set
that's my math is about
Uh-huh.
Anyone else wanna answer
Is the mop a good secondary in a high end build?
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
Tempest is extremely strong even without a talent
sighs I'm not using it for the talent. I'm using it as itself. As part of a pistol build
sorry what....? It's not strong by any means.
For a pistol it sure is
I guess
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
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
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.
Orbit is p killer right?
P. Finisher
Ye the one that gives chc/d on swap
yup
I meant finisher I just couldn't remember the name
Easy way to remember: it's called "finisher", because now you're finished with it, and will only use Quickstep.
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
I'm not saying Tempest is bad, I'm just saying that Quickstep's benefit outweighs any other pistol, outside of the Regulus.
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
I think finisher has a use. That use being, making a build for high crit chance alongside crit damage. Examples of this would be any normal rifle AR or really anything besides an SMG
I usually use it alongside a killer Lexington
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.
Gear set descriptions are finally out for chest and bp

Organize anything, together. Trello is a collaboration tool that organizes your projects into boards. In one glance, know what's being worked on, who's working on what, and where something is in a process.
Just updated my sheet, set is not DOA as far as dmg goes
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
I ain't reading that, but I believe you.
TL:DR its the best pistol to have if your shield breaks, otherwise it just sucks
Good pistol for crusader shield. Bad for ballistic, which is for pistol builds
Pairs well with tinkerer since you can't use an exotic primary
@agile citrus You should hire dien to do your tl;dr's
I heard he's very reasonable for rates.
I don't understand why you can't resist the shield daze bc that in of itself isn't strong enough for the average build to stack haz pro and just further punishes the already really weak tank builds
i get paid in exposure
Bonjour. S'il vous plaît est-ce que c'est possible m'indiquer où je peux trouver où chercher le shotgun nommé stock broker
Quickstep is extremely strong, nothing is stronger than quickstep
I don’t think the damage is the issue, I just think the set has potentially bad synergy with teammates
"Hello. Could you please tell me where I can find or search for the shotgun called Stock Broker?"
It's not out yet
Ce serveur est uniquement en anglais.
I too get the urge to use shotguns on stock brokers.
Oh definitely
Damage before backpack was known wasn't good enough to use over striker, now it just depends on uptime
The only problem with quickstep, is that I keep hearing "Hotstepper" in my head whenever someone says the name.
Il n'est pas encore sorti et vous l'obtenez via le programme de parrainage
I thought it was gonna be a veteran reward?
Merci beaucoup Emma c'est encore une chose comme des freinage de LMG
Is it I thought it was the new referral gun
@spiral mango Sorry, english only on the server, thanks
Il faut changer serveur c'est pas pour c'est pas pour des en anglais
Et moi j'ai pas besoin de savoir parler anglais
Thank you very much
It's either that or speak english on here, it's a hard rule we have to follow.
I can send you the french server
That sounds like a threat.
Lol
Me and the French don't get along after playing Dayz for so long
The daze from the shield isn't the same daze in the rest of the game. Think of it as a global cooldown, how nothing can change or affect a global cooldown. Nothing can change your effect the shield explosion debuff. It only looks the same, and has the same icon
Ik I just don't understand the design choice for the aforementioned reasons
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
So just have it active in pvp they can do pvp only stuff without affecting pve like with overcharge
Every time they try it breaks something so
They tried to do that with diminishing statuses, but we got that in PvE too
Was only supposed to be pvp
All hail the spaghetti code
https://mxswat.github.io/mx-division-builds/#/IwdgtATGDMbJYAMSXLajiBc0AcDZ4pgBOTc9NLAFmSkIWuopaoDZx64VRZLXUWCJy7x+41lnyiBEykNyxmwZMCgR40NmBDbxWObIOyKOY4aoXUQA improvements on the build the 2pc improv and forge are actually the 2 named items from the new set plus an unstoppable force backpack of the new set
Ty I actually alr have a fox
backfire memento is good right?
It's workable
Even without memento backfire is still workable or it’s depend on the user
it's best for long fights
where you're fighting constantly
Even Forge, your shield still took too much damage, the only pistols that repair your shield is libety. Any build with tempest are fun to play with but not up for leggo.
Forge is the new holster, builder isn't updated
2pc improv plus forge are placeholders it's actually 3pc new set including the new named holster (8% rof) and named chest (p obliterate)
That is the holster that give 50% to shield health?
The build tool doesn't have the new set
.
That 8% ROF surely sound nice…
But isn’t centurions better tho?
I saw Forge mention. It's bad.
What are these knee pads everyone keeps talking about
Forge is being used as a placeholder for the new named holster
oh.. We'll have it updated by today hopefully.
Ehhh yes and no
@subtle bluff
I don't wanna click on urls atm.
why can't you make them on Buildstation.app and share SS send the pic D=
You can also save your builds on buildstation
yeah just a sec while I remake it
what else do i use it with, ik 4 strikers but what chest or whatever
Why no and yes? Emma said to used 2 pcs for 13% rof right? Centurion last 12 sec and with dmg boost as well
Striker chest usually when I run it
OH HE build with all the stuff.
Overdogs exists
1 pc is 5% rof, 2pc is 20% AR dmg. The named holster has 8% rof
yeah but I wanna use overdogs
Sleep option is looking better now..
I’m overdog exist but what build using 2 pcs for 13% rof since mostly 4 pcs of striker and 2 other mix
here's the build with the placeholder stuff
the stats got cut off
You can go to share tab. easier SS
Ohh HE build.. my bad I’ll stop then since HE are trash to me
OH right placeholders
High end
Belstone chest with CHC CHD and obliterate
the bp will be u force bc I don't play careful enough for vigi to have significant uptime
I'll test tomorrow but with Vigilance and a shield
honestly glad they finally made an offensive set with fitting perfect talents
if i see lexington one more time i might explode
Skill issue
lex has the highest base damage of any ar
I'm gonna use a M4 becauseee I'm avg
afaik it's bis unless you're running tink
im gonna use an m4 because its all i have
we are not the same
I have one with swap speed
hope you get lucky during stretch goals
Your kindness is appreciated
I killed a lexington for fun
I'm gonna save a bunch of caches this time around.
It will forever have preservation
im gonna go make a hazpro backfire memento build now for no reason
ngl I'm hoping for oreo from this stretch goal bc I don't wanna run the incursion
Chow is right here
Lol dien knows the numbers, I know what it looks like in game. But prob would be better @hazy steeple 🤣
Now she's gonna get pissed great
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
"high end build"
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
Here we go, moving up in the world. What other optimizations would there be?
why are you running glass cannon with refactor
30% Amp
it entirely negates all the bulk refactor gives tho
I'd swap bp for Wyvern
Nah it's worth
yeeeehaaaaa.. now I need a Wyvern Wear with Combined Arms lol
worth optimizing?
hell nah
is the chd really that low bc I have max chc in my library
optimise wise that'll eat up your resources REAL quick
does ceska have blueprints?
not the bag
I'm trying for a mask
this is what I'm building (with placeholders)
forge? i'd rather a brand that does something and an attribute
placeholder
it'll actually be 3pc unit
i just noticed the improv too nvm
chow is working on updating the tool to have unit stuff
the only reason I didn't do improv holster is bc the improv holster has a mod slot
is surge used in any builds?
I got this wicked nice roll
Not really
For many skill builds, the go to is often the Capacitor, Test Subject or something with in-sync
Surge is good but try Harmony
I'm not actively farming for a skill build I just figured I'd see if surge gets use bc of the crazy roll I got
The problem with Surge is it's HS centric and only 25% DMG where Harmony is just hit something and it's 40% DMG
I thought it requires both skill and weapons dmg together for the buff to activate?
Whats the talents of the two? Is it literally just hit enemy get damage?
I don’t remember harmonys talent
@rich cosmos Surge has Spike, Harmony has insync.
I just went and checked the wiki
Tbf, surge has like, the minor benefit of not needing to hit the enemy with the skill which means you can use different skills than drones and stuff, the problem is that the damage isn’t really good enough for that justification
In Sync activates on skill deploy as well
capacitor, in term of skill dmg is still better than other
That's why I run Capacitor and Harmony. So when I run out of ammo on AR I swap to Rifle and have a decent back up
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
Guess the devs HATE the lvoa then
Thats the only explanation for the sheer downgrading of it in this game
Only good lvoas being police m4 reskins
Also, you really don’t want to have your 5-6 tier bulwark shield break at all in the first place, just to proc Tempest ability. I feel better that I didn’t grind Summit for it that’s for sure, but I did regret dumping exo components into it now.
I use it for very agressive shield builds
Tempest does have a really high raw damage
Why's that?
The fact that it just seems like they are intentionally ignoring it
I like the LVOA-C. Put Rifleman on it and blast away
Horrible handling, out performed by tons of rifles, all top performing lvoas are not the actual lvoa, and the fact that Im pretty sure it got nerfed
is classic m1a still my goat
Also pretty sure it doesn’t even have a single unique skin yet
And no exotic, and its only named variant is a skill talent
Like it just screams the hated child of guns
Isn't St. Elmo an LVOA?
M4 using a lvoac skin
Well i would say that the idea of a 30 round rifle is bad
Its category meant to be hard hitting, low damage very hogh rof but not enough to be a regular full auto AR backfires
An LVOA is just an M4 varient though
Im just using in game categorization
Not real life shenanigans
With that i mean the stats of elmo is of the police M4
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.
Use a 7.62 or greater Rifle then
Actually I guess the game breaks the Rifles up into Marksman and AR lowers
We have 7.62 ARs, Rifles and MMRs
1886 being the exception with a tubular mag
For the Rifles though the high DMG ones use the Marksman mags
Ravenous my beloved
Both elmo and lexington are police m4s
All i want is the actual lvoa to get more love from the devs
Even just an exotic, doesn’t even have to be good
I mean so many things are M4s
But it's based off of a real gun
Merciless
So fun to use though
Where as stuff like lexington and elmo are LITERALLY reskinned police m4s
It's an AK with a switch and explosive ammo lol
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
well the ACR-SS is also horrible
That too
I still hold the opinion that project resolve didn’t do nearly enough
well half of the changes got reverted in the next patch when season formats got announced
Meanwhile m1a gets two separate support exotics because I guess the devs forgor about doctor home
Like wtf is this bs?
Like this is the best example of the devs just flat out forgetting about something, how do you just casually forget about doctor home, and proceed to make doctor home 2
Maybe we r getting a dr home rework
I don't get the second part
What does the bonus armor amount scale off of
Oh shit i forgot to preload the pts actually
No clue and I think the patch notes changed the number as well
He doesn’t know
doctor home is just a rifle that heals on kills, second one is pseudo DMR that build heal stacks and also headshot stacks
Remember, someone actually designed and greenlit gear like Rugged Gauntlets and Vindicator
vindicator is mostly fine
Sooooo a dev played too much overwatch?
I mean, new rifle is just ana
Makes rifle built on scoped aiming
Mdr
Weapons like Pakhan, Strega, Vindicator are virtually non existent out on the pug wilds imo
Good good meh
i mena people have allergy to anything that isnt striker elmo at the same time
Elmo deserved more of a nerf I hate elmo I hate elmo
I think it’s the fault is more on Dev design not the player. Player will always go down the path of least resistance
But elmo doesn't hate you ❤️🩹
Long ago the devs made a try about nerfing elmos...... The communitty cried so hard that they canceled part of the nerf
I still wish bluescreens talent was elmos and elmos to bluescreen, bluescreen is my goat but I don’t like lmgs 💔
…. But St Elmo’s is just a gun 💀
Id hope so
They need revive the idea of the mag nerf😔
Why striker users cried so hard, is just 10 bullets
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 😂
To be fair, the time before st Elmo’s, majority’s second gun was Scorpio… the moment you bake any CC into just shooting it’ll fit almost anywhere…
But at least they had the balls to make a Big Nerf to scorpio's😭
Original Scorpio my beloved 😭
And look how often it's used now... Only use I see is for slight crowd control or for healing builds with Opportunistic
Im confused here, my proficiency has literally gone up by 1 after using it to clear 2x invaded missions plus an stronghold. any idea whats up? this doest seem normal
You donate junk and dupe items to increase expertise
cant seem to be able to, when i click on donate, nothing happens
Named items, gear brands, gear sets, guns, etc
Ngl in part they killed the gun, but compared to elmos nerf.... The communitty cried so hard about elmos and not about scorpio which is crazy
Proficiency xp is based on kill xp which doesn't scale that much with difficulty/directives
You have to hold items marked as junk to donate
kill xp does scale with veterancy btw, and it does change with difficulty
Nah the community wasn't happy with Scorpio. I bet you they do a survey about it, a good number would say they wish the change never happened
Only huge difference regarding difficulty was when <lvl40
It was just at the time, people were more worried about Striker than a Niche shotgun not many used
It would be like 315xp for a red lmfao
still dont let me donate, hold down x to donate for nothing to happen, i have marked items as junk
I think you underestimate how many gun nuts love those "Bloc" weapons you speak of.
Needs to be something you don't already have maxed out to donate
Yea but is CRAZY they cried about 10 bullets on elmos and not about the nerf to scorpio, striker made a lot of ppl braindead
i still lament my six12
I hope one day they Buff scorpio to make It viable in more builds
Scorpio only got 1 Buff, Crash games with a skin🕊️🕊️
I love them too. But expecting Russian style weapons in a country that's part of NATO (which 5.56x45mm is standard for most NATO countries) is just weird
They shoot usually 7.62 of some sort
The reload speed being absolutely murdered was a choice 
Striker has been around since the very beginning tbh. There's no getting around it. What I was pissed about was the nerf to EB's damage. Elmo has 10 whole more bullets. It SHOULD do slightly less damage than EB. EB is a raid exclusive weapon with a totally different talent and less mag size and way more recoil
EB has next to zero use besides just running memento striker and turning brain off or surviving against cheaters in pvp
The nerf to EB was personal, im 101% sure a dev had beef with it
If I had my choice, I'd buff the base damage of EB. Just by a touch. Keep Elmo's as it is, I like where it sits. The damage was high before nerf. EB needs to be brought back to the damage it was before, if not nearly before
EB is a PvP gun, and in PvP is full of bighorns so idk why they cant Buff EB
Also oro needs a little bit of love
Ouro needs to be brought back to the damage it used to do. Everything else is fine by me
The keener season was wild with nerfs (i think was Keener's)
Head Hunter + Determined? Not a problem. Tips of the Spear? Entire rework
They did tip of the spear dirty.
Tots needs a major rework, true Patriot needs a buff, system corruption as well. List goes on
This is more funny when uk perfect determined work as intended and the normal talent is bugged😭
Ngl i would Accept a season with reworks instead of new gear set, also, im still waiting a change to the stats of 511
Like.. TOTS was actually completely fine the way it was before it was changed to the thing it is now.. why was it even adjusted to begin with?
Striker backpack should be looped in with this question
The power creep has been absolutely awful last few seasons
Oh it’s still awful.
I just read there’s a holster with Rate of fire AND a 1pc with rate of fire?
Make it lose stacks on miss and you'll see its usage plummet
Yup. They basically remade the accuracy holster but for rate of fire
Yep, new Set gives 5% ROF with 1 piece and the named piece gives 8% ROF, 13% ROF in one piece
HAHAH! to what it was before where you needed at least 80% accuracy to even compete with a normal brandset!
Funny enough I jokingly tried the accuracy holster one with Caretaker and it made the G36 a complete monster
Yooo 13% ROF on top of the 15% striker gives (I think)
Finally 1k rpm Lexington
At least they put 2 braincells together and made the ROF piece a holster to not combine It with centurion's
Power creep city 
So it fits the whole "gamble" part of striker's
In its current state it is a brainless to play just a tad bit lower compared to hh determined
PvP would die. Especially with umbra
Everyone would move back to heartbreaker all red
HB and striker are basically near the same. Just one requires more work lol
It should get same treatment since they literally function the same just one required pulsed
Add to that gunner perk and golden bullet when is active😭😭
And add the talent of +25% ROF on the first half of the mag
Pretty much. But if it's only tied to striker then technically heartbreaker is just pulse striker which makes it function no different
I know measured buffs overall burst DPS but I'm not a fan of it tbh
I want try all that with a vector, speedrun to 0 ammo
I used it often as a close quarters set and actually had some wild damage output with The Apartment…. Back when it killed stacks at least
Bc if they did I'd use that with tinkerer for my lex and then use killer or strained or optimist
I mean 2 stack gain with 1 stack loss on miss like classified striker is still better than the bs we got rn
I'd make that apply to pvp
Stack decay is also a joke
Buff striker, too weak
💀
I'd vouch for 2 stack decay from 1-50 and 3 from 50-100
I remember it did use to be like that
I love how striker is 1 stack decay per second and any other Set is like "u lose 10 stacks after 1 sec"😭
Oh
They’re afraid to piss off everyone at this point when it comes to nerfing strikers.
“Strikers guarantee”
At this rate it's a main staple. Personally I want them to buff other sets to compete with strikers
Thats difficult since the only buffs we get is +2k dmg to the most random gun ever
Fair deal. One can wish tho
Atp of the game we need div3
Or a biiiiggg sunset but not like the one from Destiny back then, more like the one we have rn, a soft sunset
Make some things "featured", better stats than the other things
Gear 3.0 
As a utility skill at only 2 skill tiers, is shock trap worth using?
Nah
What is a decent CC skill besides foam to use with an all red heartbreaker build using memento (2 skill tiers, +1 because of technician)
how about burn?
Nah
If u like It and u feel comfortable with it u can run it yes
Banshee
Tech isn't quite necessary for heartbreaker. Banshee pulse still pulses enemies. Abuse it for ACS stacks and just use EB and chain heads. If you're fighting Black Tusk tho, yeah, run tech
Tech gives you an easier time. Running HB with EB is just pure chaos
EB is not very good lol
It's been said multiple times here today, by me included, about EB being mid. You are right tho
hey if you like using it more power to you!
It's still a nice weapon. Just doesn't have much use case in PvE
is there any meaningful difference between the MK46 and M249 LMGs?
Other than the name, no
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 👌
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
Hey @hexed steppe idea for you to try... I dunno of it's worth but trying blacklister with your mortar build. I know you'll lose a Skill Teir and Skill Dmg but I don't have the build and it's your thing.
Sir yes sir got it ✊
He could maybe hold Kard?
If he really needs that T6
whats blacklister?
New kneepads that drop from climax mission w/ tempest
ah
rip dta
That's thought but the DTA lost
???? i mean losing 12% dta for the 20% amp
@onyx sage ah okay, didn't know he used Cont gloves. I know he loves mortar but tbh I have no idea how his build is lol
I've tried doing skill builds. Just can't do em outside of CC and healing
EB would be OP only if the talent be passive and not active on kill
looking at building a combat medic
im looking at all the gear and i cant piece something together, for a start yes im using birdies
OD lol
i mean you still lose quite some damage cause no wicked/red core and attributes but it's one of the few sets that you use in a team and it does play into the "support" role more
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.
ive saved a few runs with birdies so it can be a strong pick, but like why pick berdies when btsu keeps heal uptimes high, im torn but at the same time i think i find more value in berdies when it comes to revive speed and weakness debuff aswell as damage reduction
With the new exo rifle I’ll have to play with it.
What to run purely depends on how good your group members are at not dying.
Birdies can be really helpful but it’s less of healing and more just getting people up
Combat medic isn’t really thing imo.
i almost want to be playing a front line bruiser, but medic
You caan’t have all 3
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
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)
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
i think the word youre looking for is zealot lmao
You’re not wrong.
I haven’t used any active modifiers. Just passive make me do more than needed
Yea you kinda need the backpack. Another reason I don't like Birdies. Backpacks are so strong 🙂
you're nerfing yourself cause the game gets too easy. based grindset man
I hotswap to birdies a lot
Give all exotic backpacks all 3 core attributes
I think that’s what cool about it.
Exo chest need something
Also following this
Why isn’t beacon a 3 core exotic, its talent literally involves all 3 attributes
In fact that would again make it work with measured even more
or something to make worth using
This is the perfect exotic to do all 3 core attributes for
None of the exo chest are good enough
Absolutely the stats are far too low for it to be good
Actually I'm dumb I was thinking of having gear with all core would be dumb
Give all chest and bp exotics all 3 core attributes it really can’t break them that badly
You're wrong imo
overloading on cores is sooooo huge
Am I forgetting one?
Give them more it wouldn't be bad. Just add another core to them.
Not really.
If anything take there minor stats away and give cores would be a ok balance.
Or in the some case just another core like birds jsut give blue on top
between capacitor ninjabikes picaros and PS, there is so much to gain
PvP sure PvE bad.
Anyways point is beacon should have all 3 cores its extremely weird to make it an exotic that gives all three attribute types but not all 3 attributes
fair point i mean look at momento
i think i found it
i found combat medic but its going to be a pain, syscor
i have decent armour/survivability 200% repair skills, the only thing sub optimal would be haste but when i overcharge it should help
probably should be using a capacitor if im running 6 skill tiers huh
Abso-completelutely
Either go Repair or go Bonus Armor.
Here. This isn't exactly the build it changes but like it says if you can't figure out don't ask.
I can run this in leggo, master and do almost everything Repair everyone, hotswap to birdies if I need to uppies, do some DMG, CC and some buffs.
lol you should call that Swiss Army Knife
Ya that's not a bad name for it.
speaking of Bonus armour, imo we need more ways to apply it to self/team
cc, seeker spam, debuff x 3, reviver, overcharge, pfe
Uh? we have plenty atm.
We are about to get more as well
Loads of ways
to team i can think of three ways
And a skill
I mean there's more
Leadership, Perfect Protected Reload
But anyways it's enough..
If only there was a gearset that utilized smart cover that could use a buff
idk people sticking together isn't the great thing either tho
there are a lot of advantages to shooting outside of cover as well. really hurts smart cover.
The issue is there isn’t an incentive to stay together with that gearset other than the grenade thing
Ya I'm rarely in cover..
I know it defeats the purpose but like, smart cover should work out of cover too
I was thinking about getting away from striker and trying a 4 piece providence defense with perfect glass cannon chest, perfect vigilance backpack, ceska knee pads and overdog gloves. Thoughts ?
I use cover but rarely take it
There are plenty of different builds to use
4pcs of providence..... why not go 5 pcs strikers?
it's good. you will do a lot of damage right away and not have to worry about stacks. BUT you will run into problems against tanky enemies that need to die fast. you will feel the difference in peak dps (that you would have at full striker stacks).
IIRC even half stacks striker already wins, but don't quote me on that - it's been a long time since i checked
PGC and Vig with strikers is actually reallly good.
yea that's my main build, love it
haven't found anything better yet
I have the backpack I just need to optimize it. Maybe I’ll give that a shot
Is future initiative amp or standard weapon damage
Overdogs is the only things that next to it.
whats PGC stand for?
TWD
Just been loving the overdog gloves paired with the PGC chest
P. Glass Cannon
i ran it for a few weeks and dropped it. it was significantly worse for me.
Would a good buff to MA be giving it 10% damage for each player up to 30%?
Damn good to know. I’ll give your set up a chance and see how it runs in countdown. Maybe I’ll do way more damage and drop the gloves as well
I feel like thats too much
Measured assembly is in a decent spot as is imo it's just niche cuz generally you don't all hunker down in one spot
I mean, the problem is other players don’t have a reason to stay near you
Yeah smart cover and hive but like, players are genuinely blind
Even if you gave them something else they still wouldn't 😭
hmm?
If they're gonna buff anything about MA let it eat grenades too
You know 10% for each player within skill radius
@astral kraken I’m not as good as you but can you run this build in master?
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.
Oh. Ehh... MA is niche for teams that need crutch becuse they can't shooot and DPS ads quick enough.
I've heard good things about overdogs but nothing beats the comfort of exodus gloves for me
Yea but it's hard.
Exogoats
I've gotten up to room 6 so far and haven't tried again, but will eventually. It's trial and error because you need to find good spots and memorize enemies/spawns.
Also the first encounter has a lot of enemy RNG. Sometimes you'll get drone operators, sometimes minitanks.
I am curious have you tried Iron Lung out yet?
Watching the health bar just disappear was satisfying lol
I tried the positioning in that video with drone operators and it didn't work at all. This took way longer; still searching for a better way. Also turned off mods for this one.
lol yea! Inspired by a certain average player. I still like the vector for most things but Iron Lung has been great in places like boss room of legendary Zoo. It kicks the drone operators out of cover and stuff.
Just making sure to share the love for Iron Lung.
did i tell you guys i got an iron lung body pillow
By far my favourite lmg
You meant to type bluescreen right?
the bluescreen watches from the corner
Lore accurate
Also can that backpack drop in countdown or can you only get it from the bots
If it's the gift, it's a DZ exclusive item
Can’t those little houndsman bots drop it still?
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.
I have no idea. I don't think the event is still going on I don't think
The gift isn't all that great of a backpack to use anymore. Better builds/backpacks slot in
P. Vigliance and Normal is 1 second...
but that 1 second makes the difference....trust me I have played since launch....so U cant tell me what I am doing wrong....I cant keep arguing with people like U....
still need to get those, but will try when i do
So what backpack do you like to use
You can't get it as a drop in countdown but you can get it from named item caches that you can buy with countdown credits. The vendors sometimes sell it as well so check this every week: https://rubenalamina.mx/the-division-weekly-vendor-reset/
You can use a normal vigilance backpack for now. Or just use the striker backpack with a setup like that.
So my comment is merely sarcastic, don't take that as valid or an insult, okay?
Follow that template Purple Minitank posted 
no but its being sold at dz south this week
@astral kraken try demo drone. demo drone kills drone backpacks. it also downs dog weak spots and kills grendier bakcpacks
demo drone has 2 rules. it goes in a straight line, if firsdt target is more than 30 meters, and never throw it round the edge of cover, only over
But you probably need dz money to buy it ?
yes like 151 or so
hello val update ❤️
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
by inconsistent i just mean that i can't apply it when i need from any position, like emp sticky
Anyone got a build for the EB? I feel like mine isn’t doing as much as it should
EB isn't that great.
Here
Aw. So what exotic AR is the best now? Saint Elmo’s?
Depends on build. You can start with the AR Striker tables for a very general comparison since it's a popular build:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1whUO7xqWgskFS5hFn-zSZNiPyllbNN6NcHAFbTOPWVY/edit?usp=sharing
Burst/sustain tables are very useful as well:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12vzrBI53INNVcKx25ILuvwIgJDg2xUvOO_IA0uctlwE/edit?usp=sharing
I like the chameleon recently. Piqued my interest.
To note Exotics/Named Weapons/Gear aren't always the best nor is needed for every build.
the human companion?
Pokemon
At least isn’t palmon
Companion build? Body shield
regulus, not good enough for enthing higher then solo. would be harder to start on heroic, but tac 50 maxs hh so its not a big deal outside of heynas. It starts at like 1.7 to 2m
Uhhh cause it's striker lol
Anyone ever notice how sharks suck at climbing trees? A new insight I've just made btw
What does that have to do with builds
it's a joke for when builds try to fit square pegs in round holes
Yeah you kids are cringe
Erm actually I am not a kid
Cringe that you think that and that you feel the need to say it...
Does anyone have a backfire memento build I can look at, I found a Hazpro one but I want to see if there’s any others, I don’t care if it’s optimal or not I’d just like to use the two together
Let me guess you found it on YouTube..
No
That’s cool or whatever, I still would like to try it out
I was either making that or a full blue core with crit chance/damage
IDK, I saw this documentary with Tara Reid once.
😠 there are NO STRIKER STACKS
the next person who claims my striker headhunter uses striker stack to work IMA SCREAM
NO IT DOESNT (nvm I already did)
So you're using striker without building stacks?
no, Im using hh or striker. they dont coexist alongside
they compliment each other but they dont use each other
So your build has both HH and striker, but you are leaving one totally unused as you're using the other?
I think I can see the reason why you're having trouble with using this build: it sucks.
I despise hot swapping, so I designed a mutli functional build
What you designed is the Ford Pinto of div2 builds.
I have 0 problems using this build? I never said I have problems with it
out of curiosity, because this was not based on me, why do you think builds in a game were multi use is possible, single role is the only "not suck"
its a weird assessment. but you can use single role builds if you want. I will keep my 1.2m lexington spray with 13 m regulus and 20m sniper. its fun
This is the pact master, my 1st run for the kneepad
What chest is that ? I have a momento build with st Elmo but I feel like I’m hardly doing any damage
Bel Stone
Belstone with CHC CHD and obliterate, for Elmo, you need ceska chest
Badstone
Yeah i have ceska with intimidate; all blue cores and momento. I’m only hitting for 600k but I see videos of people hitting for over a million. Maybe my build sucks lol
Elmo is way lower dmg per shot than backfire
You need all red that’s how I ran my Elmo with memento. BF it’s different
Okay I’ll try throwing momento with all red cores until I get a backfire
Would obliterate still be best or intimidate for the weapon damage with picking up trophies
With BF, I can sit at 2M armor with 81K AR+ memento (30 tokens) I can still hit 1M+
I never like intimate, ppl can argue with me but not for my build so obliterate always been my favor. With intimate, you have to use ad rush and memento isn’t worthy.
@magic pilot the ar recording broke. but anyway, no striekr stacks
this was my first run btw, I dun wanna hear about "bros so lost" T.T
Why am I getting pinged
👆
Yea I don't need to see any more videos, we've been having the same conversation for over a year
eh. fair enough
Damn hopefully I can get a backfire to drop in countdown or getting it in a cache
Just run whatever you want, it works for you sick. I'm just not gonna pretend I like it
I pinged cuz youv said for ages, "striker" is why it works. thats all
Or I can went all red just adjust blue core to red and have 2.5M+ and BF need time to play to understand how bleed work and playstyle.
striker doesnt affect the hh side. it might, in some tiny way, due to fast headshots, but barely. just clafirying if this was hbr, or anything else it would work the same (Iv tested it.. on hbr)
I need to make a new video for this backfire thing..
So backfire would be good in heroic countdown for the higher hp
Yeah can be. Still don't believe it's worth.
So would it be better to just move away from momento and stick with the overdog gloves
Memento is really only for solo or hard carrying.
Outside of that it's difficult to keep the trophies going
I more so was trying to build into it for heroic countdown since the enemies hit so hard
There are 7 other allies to spread the aggro with, the enemies hit hard but I would not recommend Memento for countdown
Any reasonable DPS is good for Heroic Countdown, 8 full reds will clear it fast if you coordinate properly
Why Heroic countdown, can I ask?
The loot is only marginally better on average than challenging and not worth the difficulty hike
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
Yeah I’m trying to get the gift backpack as purple said that’s his favorite thing to run with perfect glass cannon chest over the exotic gloves but I will switch to challenging
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
You do understand what different between Normal Vigliance vs P. Vigilance is right?
Extra 5% damage?
Sure I’ll see it. I’m sure people would argue that the 1 second makes a big difference for getting that damage back
I guess.. Never seen the issue. I have 2 Gifts I forget I have them.
that's the reason people say forget the gift and just use a regular providence or brand with vigilience
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
8%*
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
i'm probably the only person who would notice it because i play vigi with no shield
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.
You can run retal and it give you 3 rewards: 1. Your target loot 2. Exotic 3. Named at the end of retal. Countdown isn’t worthy anymore tbh.
i agree tbh
I run it in heroic countdown
in your opinion maybe, but countdown just gives sheer amounts of loot compartively and those hunter currency can help for things like exotics
you get exotics too with retal every run, with heroic countdown you need 2 runs per 1 cache
I run my striker BH for heroic.
Ceska is 8% chc
Not really, if you target loot, it dropped and sometime you get more because retal randomly give you 2-4 CP. personally retal is the best way to farm exotic and named than CD.
Yyyy I know, it was a half typo. I don't build around it, I mostly just ignore the two percent nerf, but yeah it was still incorrect and I should be concise
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
roguegold did a video of retal vs countdown down. he said countdown is still a bit better but not by much
What’s bh lol
Big Horn
Does vigilance stay active with zealot
3 every 4. Challenging is 1 for 2
For regulus, what is the second attribute you want to have for the headhunter build?
dttooc
sweet ty
also, for FI healer build that uses birdie back pack. would BA or alps summit holster be better? I would think the extra repair would be better than skill haste
not sure tbh @onyx sage any thoughts?
but then again, maybe since I cant use BTSU the extra haste is needed?
Setup backpack
I have the version that runs the setup already, this version is for quick revives, so the setup isnt an option
Improvised then for haste
Try to find aps glove so you can hotswap BTSU with birdie must easier because they’re under glove. FI used helm, chest holster and kneepad.
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.
is there a link for that build or is it in the spreadsheet?
Idk, these are my personal experiences with and playstyle. I’ve never followed any of the build here since they’re not suitable for my playstyle
Here’s my momento build till I get the backfire
highly suggesting not to waste materials on body gear expertise
Thank you, I like those. Im curious on the difference between hanna chest and refactor chest though
Solo, this is already failure from the look of it. Solo better use memento with AR and all red clear things 10x faster than refactor dps. put together and build and did any test to see which is faster and more convenient? Another reason I don’t follow any of these build sheet. 😉
ya this build im makin isnt for DPS, its for situational support
I wouldn't use refactor at all solo
I didn't make the guide, nor have I used refactor
Can you elaborate?
it's not worth it, that's it
But why? I don't understand why you wouldn't want extra armor if you can get it.
Because armor doesn't really do anything in this game
So then that logic applies to mask, backpack, etc as well?
Absolutely
I run legendary with a full red build, glass cannon chest
you're only buffing the white number base armor which doesn't give you much in general
Yea expertise doesn't scale off armor cores either. With all pieces at 30, it's only about 190k armor
70 exos per, 6 gear pieces
total base armor at lvl40 was ~700k, wasn't it?
THAT i never knew. Wow.
Base without watch is 660,014. With watch it's 726,015
Every armor piece comes with armor on it, the value is dependent on level and what slot it's on
If you look on the far right it says 80.3k armor, that's what expertise is scaling off.
That I understood, I never knew that the 170K blue core wasn't effected by expertise... that's interesting.
Obviously my own ignorance, and I appreciate you all not jumping down my throat. Truly. That's refreshing out in the ether.
It does in armor regen build, at +20 maybe 500 AR or so
It's something that not everyone gets at first without someone else explaining it, I also tend to forget stuff like this, you're not the only one that's learning from the 🐐 s
that 70 exos per 6 pieces if you reuse the very same pieces in every buld otherwise, consider how much more you'll lose upgrading it for other builds. gearsets/brandsets/exotics. gets quite expensive if you ask me
this game is very confusing to newcomers
measured IMO
Is this a good build to use with st.Elmo?
4 stricker's + what?
It's pretty good for solo play mainly.
4pc Strikers, Memento, Česká Výroba chest with Obliterate
Yeah I’m using it for harder difficulty. Not as squishy.
Backfire smg I want to try with momento
i have backfire did they change the inflicted damage from it?
No. Just the stacks went from 200 to 100 stacks. The amounts were adjusted to fit the stacks.
If you want a really strong striker build I’m running the Ceska chest with obliterate and overdog gloves. That’s my favorite right now
Noob Q can i reroll the third att to damage to target out of cover
you are "rerolling" every attribute, they didnt allow changing individuals on exotics for a reason
your best bet is to get another gun and reroll that until you get dttooc and then optimize later down the line
for getting the maximum amount of DMG out of your weapons HSD isn’t great.
either use that or switch to a striker backpack and run overdogs?
If you don’t want to prioritize lower enemies first you can do what @astral kraken suggested and run the providence chest with PGC and backpack with vigilance for the 25% damage
PGC stands for Perfect Glass Cannon btw
thank you
the piece is named (The sacrifice)
Yep and then use the backpack with vigilance or if you have the gift backpack
although the difference between a normal providence backpack with vigilence vs the gift, is only a single second on the talent, Gift is 3s normal is 4s
and if you dont have blueprints or a gift already its not worth trying to get one for that little increase just get a reg
Keeping easier. For DPS builds the main thing you want to watch for is your CHC being correct. Everything will follow suit pretty well.
Looks like this. Couldn’t tell ya which one hits harder only benefit to this one is you don’t have to worry about which enemy you’re shooting
gonna cost a decent chunk of optimization mats if your not loaded but thats a decent piece
just change the status effect to CHD and you're good
run that and you're good.
do you have the BP? cause if you do it'll be better to craft more until you get a better roll
nah just run it keep playing
Yeah but if he has BP he can get a better one to save mats, if not that one works fine but tryna think about his time spent on it
Just put it CHD and running he'll be fine at least he'll get to test the build like that
If it likes the build then ya! farm for another one!
Should i upgrade past level 5?
you can go to 12 without using exo comps but I wouldn't bother unless its a piece you are definitely gonna use
dont upgrade at all
Booooo hiss
Tbf I'm only expertising my main 2 sets and that's only cuz I have nothing else to do
TBH like avg said. Don't upgrade at all. The only ones you should be doing is your weapons and some skills.
But follow what they all said.
thank you all for the advices
It take about 90 exos to max a piece. It only grants 1 blue core worth of armor. Only do it if your just floating.
1 blue core... With all 6 piece at 30expertise. Not 1 piece
So like... About 540 ish exos
Like this 😉
Oioooooo... I'm on 17 lol
Whats this exotic Marksman rifle?
Actually garbage.
I think we would all like to know
I'm 90% sure none of us have it
Yesh, Sacrum Imperium is genuinely not worth using
Hell, a base G28 with Determined would be better than that
As funny of a meme it is, short answer is a trash version of mantis (mantis removes CD on decoy on hs kill) this one, you looks at say 5 people, hs kill one and they all slow down. And get blinded I think.
To answer your question though, this is its talent
Oh right, the worse one, "burn" nothing says hs me if you can, turning them into a headbanger at a rock concert
Bro that better not be your turmoil
What are good lmgs for tinkerer
What's the rest of the build?
Tipping scales and ceska chest
Stoner or GR9 with Frenzy and Measured maybe?
whatchu mean? cant exp turmoils
With Tipping you want a lot of uninterrupted firing time, which you can only really get with GR9 and Stoner if using Tinkerers
red eyes,scruffy hair, kinda depressed
It's the one with the forced supressor
Ohhh the overwhelm gun
Of course
the Quiet Roar is the named with Overwhelmed
I got blueprints for neither
Yep
dukon is using Tinkerers though, so named stuff is off the table
I call it that cause i could sworn that was the only talent that gun could come with kinda like the carbine
I know
Everytime i got the non named version it always had overwhelm
That's just bad RNG
I think i personally havent seen a non-named with overwhelm yet lol
The carbine 7 was the same with that reloading talent
I thought some guns just came with unique talents
it used to drop always with overwhelm like carbine 7 with overflowing back in the day
the days 🥹
I think it's been changed though, i think i got a C7 with Strained not too long ago
Yea
lol it is
we need a turmoil emote that just graphics makes ??? across a skull forehead
stupid chat says all gifs are "not allowed"
worth using ridgeway chest + the courier with OD build? i'm using the set chest rn but I imagine with a SMG up close the ridgeway will shine
OD Chest buff your 20% amp to 50% dmg.
Ridgeway isn’t that good too it looks interesting but really it’s not useful.
im interested in the healing aspects of it. it seems good at first look but at lot of the damage im taking is burst
30% amp is a lot of dmg lost. The healing is kind of trap because you need to shoot a lot of things for it to work and need to close everyone.
HF will work better for you’re looking to do.
This is what OD should be able to do
Missing a wicked BP
ye i am using the courier till i get a good one. just bleeds everyone
Bleeding everyone doesn’t do much
keeps my stacks lol
What stack?
of hollowpoints, it's better than nothing atm.
Do you see in my video having any issues?
od doesn't work with stacks but kills, kills refill your hp ammo
im aware, i just never run out now
OD applies bleed with your shots.
If nothing Creep Death can hurt you since it can help ads become immune to bleeds if you’re proc it too much
When you say some skills which ones ? Cause I would hate to waste mats upgrading stuff that isn’t worth it … thanks in advance
You also what gunner for the AoK and Banshee PUlse
You should be able to see them and if you use skill a lot.
For me decoy since I use it a lot and it’s exp for is more threat
Exp skill cost a lot since it uses I can’t remember the name of the mat but that mat is better to save for exp everything
Ah ok so just what you use I mostly use crusader shield and drone or hive
Most hive aren’t worth if you look at it gives
Most hive iirc is range which isn’t worth and shield is regen which only is kind ok if you have it at a higher exp
well that was easy.
had to reroll backpack but way she goes
will look for a ceska or something soon, but lengmo will do for now.
Throw on gunner either use Riot Foam or Banshee Pulse for your CC and you’re set.
Survivalist is only a bit helpful in group play
i had survivalist on when i was trying ridgeway out, i run gunner 90% of the time lol
Why?
why did i have it on? heroic matchmaking and wanted to see if the 10% dmg increase to people with status effects was worth it
Ah. It can be.
i think im gonna switch back to coyote's mask instead of overdogs. brainless perks without having to worry about targeting for the bonus and it also helps the group
You don't need to focus on using overdogs for it to be good.
It makes up quickly when it works
Use overdog and just aim and shoot, I’m also brainless lol

hawt
@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
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?
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
with something like nego you are applying that higher amp to 3 targets if prioritized proper. i can see striker or tipping not seeing as big of an impact with overdogs tho
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
yeh this is my thoughts too
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?
Idk you're the mortar guy I just thought you'd know the best.
It is all damage
For this master I can think mortar can be pretty decent in some of it.
Same build but on my alt
@lament birch Proper strikers set up
Agree with local. Noticeable TTK on Nego but single target burst DPS builds it's really inconsistent. It's actually noticeably worse enough that I stopped using them for that type of build.
Same result with blacklisters but for slightly different reasons.
Looks like what I’m running— but the guns and chest/pack are different
There
Holy moly—
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
Glass Cannon traumatized me early on, I’m more at ease with Obliterate
Especially against sneaky snipers
What's that chest piece? Named?
Dude is melting them like butter lol
most likely not, as the Belstone chest comes with a different talent and AFAIK you can't change that on a named item 🤔
What is the best way to lvl up, I'm trying to get to 40
Invite me to that server lol i want that emote
Steady Handed?
I'd say open world activities
Just play the game, getting to 40 is pretty easy.
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?
I don't think that chest will be able to replace Ceska+Obliterate in the meta. People prioritize CHC over ROF
might use it in coyote's striker. For equalizer.
The diversity of Ceska is hard to beat.
In an AR build it may be able to do better to a degree. It'll do good in TS.
people really tend to do the opposite, as RoF is just a more attractive stat.
What really matters is if it's more damage, and it should be in most scenarios.
Belstone with CHC CHD and obliterate
Me running around with my striker backfire build with 90 hazpro, all red cores, and glass cannon 
Backfire has some wicked damage range
Ceska chest piece with the new holster should be perfectly adequate
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
Overdogs is very hard to pass up. I agree. I fell in love with those damn gloves. Plus I like how they make me feel like ghost from COD 😂
i wonder if the rof won't gel with measured
Gel as in, improve it?
I just went and looked at my OD vs BF clear for Lin lol
the more rof sources you have the less useful it is
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
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)
well it'll def making it better because it's a bonus. question is if it's worth it vs something else.
Me, personally, I'd probably just use Ceska + holster and take Bloc weapons with measured
I've been liking the feel of the AKM lately due to the modifiers
Great I'll need to add how DPS works in my infographic..
When you Refuse to Die
Why not use a custom graphics config to dumb down basically everything without losing quality of the game?
Im already use Optimized setting
I have a custom video setting file if you want it
Damn so even with a custom graphics config you're only hitting that? That's super rough
There's more stuff you can change not in game
Nah use for Support with 4 player on Legendary and Master
I just see you in incursion that's all I'm saying
☝️ this. There's a graphics config inside your documents folder that you can change settings in there that aren't available in the game menu
Nah i did test on incursion makesure work to support 4 player on Legendary and Master
Also i did Overclock Graphic
that'build isn't a support tank. That's a shield that won't go downw.
support tanks can do more than just stand around.
I see
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
which only help yourself
Only these two im use for survivability
Gloves one ?
Memento
Gloves one is Group ?
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
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
The memento one im use for Retaliation
Im waiting New Gear set have Perfect Obliterate
I'd argue nimble holster will be more viable than Memento for retaliation
I don't have Nimble Holster
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
Are Nimble Holster Drop random ?
You can target loot Holsters in countdown OR retaliation
Or, you can keep playing retal and get the blueprint and craft it
I see, thanks for Tips. Im gonna get Nimble Holster Blueprints
Good luck, you got this 👌 it's a great exotic, I recommend it bigtime for all content

And i got no luck To get Blueprints nimble holster after retaliation against Outcast
It’s depends on the players and how well they used it, I’ve used memento like almost all the time without the healer in leg.
I tried making my own sniper build.
having only 1 pc Striker doesn't really give you any benefit 🤔
i just dont have any mask to change it to
so i just used the only one i had
hit countdown/retal/summit for hotshot set, it'll work better than... that.
