What do these color means on the build sheet?

livid sorrel
lone violet
#

Half the people don’t listen and still use every drone and people wanna go to VIP for whatever reason

sterile chasm
#

Guessing at some point I should have one of each?

livid sorrel
#

You don't really need blues(tanks) for like 99% of content

#

Any DPS build, honestly. Striker's is just an incredibly strong and easy build

sterile chasm
soft crane
#

Crowd control, healing, etc.

sterile chasm
#

ah not really solo made

livid sorrel
soft crane
#

Oh ok

sterile chasm
#

So in my mind that would be if I’m in a group of 4 and 2-3 of them are using DPS, maybe I’d consider using yellow build

livid sorrel
#

Yeah, but nothing wrong with all DPS teams

hexed steppe
#

why are all the core strength ninjas taking naps in MMing petter

sterile chasm
#

ah I see, anytime I’d use yellow on my own?

livid sorrel
#

Turret/drone builds are decent in solo, Fire EP too iirc

hexed steppe
livid sorrel
hexed steppe
#

i would take fire ep in group up to heroic tbh, the fire should spread even if team is doing minimal damage

sterile chasm

#

Ongoing Directive practically giving the entire team infinite +20% damage buff. As long as you can maintain the marks that is.

smoky latch
#

The kills are important

soft crane
#

I'm sure peeps over 1K SHD are aware of OD marker. And should prioritize it over something else.

mild dawn
soft crane
#

Good point. Good OD user is to spray and mark as many enemies as possible.

#

Good thing theres no limit to how many mark you can apply.

sterile chasm

its a good way to heal and do damage

sterile chasm
#

Ohhhh the bonus armor in this case would only be if I was at full anyways

livid sorrel
#

and you can't get any more bonus armor if you're at full hb stacks

hexed steppe
#

no, you can get bonus armor when not full armor

#

Is there a good build with the Investor and Sheriff?

#

Or do I need to use the OverDogs with it?

#

It's really fun to keep people up! Though it's taking a lot of time to learn good angles for the turret hah

#

And the drone sometimes likes to fly off and just disappear down an alleyway

#

Though nothing will be as janky as the artillery turret 😭

sterile chasm
#

how do I read this armor section when trying to do builds?

grim bluff
#

What's giving you an issue?

#

Is it the formatting? The first part in the list is the talent, the second part is the recommended brand. The items in italic are named items that have a fixed Perfect talent

sterile chasm
shy willow
#

The same way you get it on any other piece of gear?

#

Farm

grim bluff
#

Get lucky and have it drop with it, get a piece of gear that has skill damage + skill haste already and recalibrate the talent to tech support

sterile chasm
#

oh, so gold armor drops random talents like weapons and the attributes too?

grim bluff
#

target farm empress brand on countdown, though personally I use Force Multiplier the named Hana-U backpack

shy willow
#

The only items that have fixed talents are named (most of them) and exotics

woeful zodiac
#

Is there a good Sheriff build with the Investor?

sterile chasm
grim bluff
#

Yup, countdown and retaliation until your eyes bleed 🫡

magic pilot
#

Tbh retaliation is better for farming just lfg

shy willow
#

Investor is pretty mid for red builds especially with how annoying it is to farm an all red one

hexed steppe
lone violet
hexed steppe
#

Fr

woeful zodiac
#

Just a normal good Investor build?

#

Atp I might go for a Tinkerer build

shy willow
#

Investor is much more valuable on blue and yellow builds

#

Take that as you will, there's not really a specific setup that benefits from it

livid sorrel
#

An all red investor is just a coyote's that's stuck on the close range buff with slightly less chd and some weapon handling on the side

heyo, partner is running hotshot with Shroud, what stats should she be focusing on?

Went from Expertise 8 to nearly 22 so far from the event. Oh dear me

hexed steppe
#

probably a free skilltier not registering on your hud, but still active maybe

#

like brazos or pallisades

#

*bad habit, reading deleted msgs 😅 *

lone glacier
#

Named items are gonna be a pain

hexed steppe
#

did you get all this weeks from the vendors?

lone glacier
#

Got all the ones I could yeah. 3 more gearsets left to expertise then its just Skills, Named Items and Exotics

hexed steppe
#

skills are the worst

lone glacier
#

I miss my Reviver in Countdown sad

fickle sparrow
#

@lone glacier wear a strikers 4 piece and decent AR like police m4....then 2nd gun an exotic or named you need to proficent...then same with 1 gear part and a piostol if you can...same with 2 skills you dont normally play....that ll allow you to do decent damage while getting 5 pieces proficent at once...plus set targeted loot to gear system mods for printer filiment...oh and play countdown lol

lost wren
#

i just have no motivation to play after this update lol, the only things i’ve been wanting to do is farm for optimization materials and expertise

lone glacier
modern jewel
#

Hey everyone, I'm kinda new to the game, started like a week ago, reached level 40 and all and currently struggling to keep up with heroic retaliations and heroic countdown. Any build recommendations? ^^`

lone glacier
fickle sparrow
#

@modern jewel the new gear set core strength is new player friendly....3 pc of it either red core or yellow..your choice with ninja packpack...picaros holster blue core..and unit alloys....OR as just mentioned and prob easiest to farm is 4pc striker all red with equaliser chest piece and ceska or grupo pice....wear the striker backpack....maybe run 4 red cores/2 blue until you get better at game....any decent ar will with something like killer on it

lone glacier
#

Probably better off going 2 blue / 4 red striker than the new gearset

fickle sparrow
#

yeh the striker set up is prob 2-4 games of countdown to get at the most...or your really unlucky

modern jewel
#

Thanks a lot!! I'll be trying to get these then :>

lone glacier
#

But whatever you do, dont trust 99% of youtube build videos

modern jewel
#

I watched like 20 but they are all either 2 years old or say something different which is exactly why I came here

charred cargo
#

should I use this for shield build?

modern jewel
#

Dang never seen this rarity before

native egret
#

should i keep this for like a refactor build or anything that involves the technician specialization? i get a little extra armor and not lose a skill tier

smoky latch
#

Idk, I'd for yellow core personally

#

Then use it in a CC build

#

Refactor won't benefit much of it I'd say

somber lark
#

Or probably keep it with the armor but change the attributes to CHC and CHD

#

I'll go fk myself then /j

clever merlin
#

Just to confirm tinkerer doesn't work with versatile when you switch weapons?

Even if it's the same type of gun?

smoky latch
#

Idk, I just know it doesn't work with the new weapon talent apparently and also not with prototype gear

gentle lichen
#

tink doesnt even let your secondary use the talent

#

so it's an anti-synergy

#

also versatile simply doesn't accept using a weapon of the same type

smoky latch
glad mauve
#

streamline AUG assault rifle. change optimal range or streamline

smoky latch
#

Exception is Back and Forth on a weapon I might say, or the new exotic AR

#

hello guys is there an area where i can farm lexington?

smoky latch
#

Nope

#

Need to wait until it makes a return with a special event. Most likely another Stretch Goals event end of season.

Go farm a Police M4. Same weapon, just 4% base damage difference

clever merlin
smoky latch
#

Yeah the use of those builds is a little limited

clever merlin
#

I don't mind

Better than tipping scales/striker/heartbreak imo

CHC makes sense

The others aren't as significant, personally I'd go hazpro, reload speed and skill haste, but it's mostly personal taste

#

Hey kettle, apologies for asking but some guy needs help in #ask-td2-community idk if you know the answer to his issue

loud sleet
#

Is there anyways to improve this build?

#

just trying to doo some bleed build as i got other builds done gotta try something new

hexed steppe
#

yes, by replacing it with a mortar setup petter

#

otherwise it looks fine

loud sleet
smoky latch
strong cave
#

if you need more damage, use vigilance instead. just dont get shot. otherwise, wicked is perfect

patent fossil
hexed steppe
#

do i have a good example petter
ofc

#

btsu gloves, sacrifice chest, force multiplier bag. skill damage everywhere

#

capacitor and insync shotgun is a must

loud sleet
#

hmm gotta get some new builds done as i got few alr but gotta do something new with the mortar and the bleed one

Currently I got few damage builds one armor support build and refactor healer build so is there something else i should do I like trying new things so i dont get bored

strong cave
#

local here is going to kill me but look into headhunter builds w/determined

any advises for this core strength build ?

lament reef
uncut yarrow
lament reef
#

if you like, you can get a bunch of free hazpro from the seasonal thing so you don’t have to pay attention to the bleed thing as much

lament reef
#

also maybe farm it some more and get all red or all yellow so it’s less hybridy

uncut yarrow
#

itd be that and go for like, idek. Core gloves, core kneepads and salvo? or some other kneepads or something that work. some combination

woeful zodiac
#

Any good Sheriff Builds?

smoky latch
#

Sheriff is a good secondary, I would not build around it

trail oar
#

anyone know a good build for solo Leg content? thats hybrid tank regen and WP dmg?

onyx sage
#

full red works just fine

solar sable
onyx sage
#

clearing it is more knowing the content and having enough damage to kill them before getting overwhelmed, not about trading damage

trail oar
#

ok

solar sable
#

oh and don't go to YT, you'll find the classic "GOD MODE PFE INSANE DPS FOR LEGENDARY"
You'll make the "build", try it, fail and then ask why it failed

noble pelican
#

Or the example I had a few days ago; Someone showcasing "crazy damage solo".. in a clip where he's dumping 6 mags into a single elite, while a buddy sits in the corner, aggroing/debuffing with Mosquito.

solar sable
#

Using the range DPS meter is... not it lol

noble pelican
#

I've also seen people argue around dps numbers based on Buildstation.. a site that ignores any and all effects that aren't direct stat increases.

solar sable
#

those aren't recommended either
you gotta make the maths on a dedicated calculator

noble pelican
#

I'd highly recommend just looking at builds of people actually clearing in a decent amount of time, if you aren't interested in calcing it.

Just don't go to "build videos".

solar sable
#

Raucey's, Scooby's, iKia's... all of them are actually solid dedicated calculators

nimble moss
#

Build videos where people are playing in heroic missions as a 4 squad while people are debuffing... And claim it works in legendary solo. Then show me a complete legendary footage ? xD

solar sable
#

exactly, I don't want cutoff clips, I want the full and honest run

subtle bluff
nimble moss
#

I know a french youtuber who has a "best build for all content cheated" every damn day xd

noble pelican
solar sable
noble pelican
# solar sable what "effects" are you trying to sum to the calculation?

I'm pretty sure all effects outside of flat increases aren't included.

If you throw 4 pieces of striker into Buildstation and replace one of the pieces (breaking the effect) with any piece featuring the same subs, your dps is just the same.

You can't set a given amount of stacks (like you can set expected headshot/crit ratios in MX's tool) either; The entire effect just isn't implemented.

#

And it's not just Strikers; Buildstation fully ignores any other conditional/stacking/additional modifier based effect.

flint arch
#

it's not finished it seems petter

noble pelican
#

Which is fine.

It just makes it hilarious to see people arguing around builds based the numbers it presents.

solar sable
#

That's why some people took their time to figure out how to consider uptime and conditional stats via math
Division 2 is a math heavy game, you have to find the equations to get accurate numbers based on what you mentioned

solar sable
noble pelican
noble pelican
solar sable
noble pelican
#

Let me rephrase my reply; It isn't heavy compared to similar games.

Equipment-based shooters in general can be fairly complicated, however, that's true.

solar sable
noble pelican
solar sable
#

plus it is leaving behind some stuff for simplicity, unfinished in all sense of the word

subtle bluff
#

What is going on here.

noble pelican
#

The discussion is somehow running in a circle.

solar sable
#

I'm trying to... understand this conversation lol
It's hard for me to process the math part of the game

solar sable
noble pelican
#

Just to simplify it;

  • Some content creators argue their buildis good, based on buildstation links/screenshots showing a given burst/sustained dps
  • Buildstation isn't calculating these numbers correctly currently

It was just an example on "Just don't follow the average content creator", not me trying to throw shade at Buildstation.

#

I do believe a notice about these effects missing would resolve this whole issue, however. lol

solar sable
#

welp, I wouldn't recommend using Buildstation for maths until it's finished
I would rather use Scooby's or iKia's

noble pelican
#

I wish the dummy would actually be accurate, would simply checking stuff in-game while being able to swap around easily.

Sadly it isn't.. by a lot sometimes.

solar sable
#

I don't get how Range measures DPS

Hello there! I got question for an item choice!

  • Tipping Scales with BP and chest
  • Tinkerer Mask
  • two GR9 with frenzy and optimist
  • fox prayer

Would the contractor gloves be more damage than fox prayer?

flint arch
#

use equalizer chest instead

#

the TS chest technically has the highest damage potential of all chest pieces but it also takes an extremely long time to stack, you're better off just using a high-end chest with a high-end talent, the damage ceiling will be lower but your upfront damage will be higher

lunar imp
#

if the dummy in game doesn’t actually show the right damage numbers then do you have to manually calculate your dps?

subtle bluff
dull drum
#

best build for escalations?

lament reef
#

yeah
either burn damage or foam CC build

subtle bluff
#

EP burn isn’t good past heroic

lament reef
#

the burn damage has a super low ceiling and the foam CC requires you to know spawns pretty well

subtle bluff
full prairie
#

How could I push this further

subtle bluff
#

Not using CS or NBB

lament reef
#

it’s yellow CS at least

#

if you want to keep using CS, use memento over ninja

probably drop the wyvern mask

#

actually idk how good salvo is here

subtle bluff
#

not much.

#

then again it's a CS build 😐

sterile chasm
#

For the Level 40 starter build is this what it was asking for?

#

the core attribute is weapon damage

lament reef
#

Yes, that’s the right piece.

sterile chasm
faint thunder
#

what is the best modifier (global) for striker?

tacit hamlet
faint thunder
#

HS/mag size/handling? or mix of HS and mag size

tacit hamlet
#

Thanks for the feedback!

lament reef
grim bluff
#

Mag size lets you pump stacks easier, but handling lets you land hits easier to get those stacks

lament reef
#

once you start filling up your library, you can tinker and swap that hazard protection to crit damage

sterile chasm
lament reef
#

no you can’t do duplicate

#

A high end (yellow) armor has two unique attributes

sterile chasm
#

oh wait, I misread, but i'd had armor pieces with double stacking crit chance and dmg right?

grim bluff
#

No, you consume a stat off an item and that's your new max in your library. So you find a chest with +4% crit you can put +4% crit on another item in a slot, then if you find a +6% crit then consume that it becomes your new max to recalibrate to

#

That'd be mods

lament reef
#

yeah you can put any mod in that you want

sterile chasm
#

im lost, how would I be removing that hazard protection?

lament reef
#

so all the spare armor you get can be harvested and you put its stats in your library

for example you get some random blue core armor with 10% crit damage, you can put that in your library and then put 10% crit damage onto your equalizer

subtle bluff
#

The guide should have pic and explain how it works..

sterile chasm
#

seems a lot of mine are weapon damage though sadly

#

OH I SEE NOW, thank you

lament reef
#

there we go

sterile chasm

Now I didn't understand it fully, can I max those bars somehow? with better mods when I find them.

smoky latch
# faint thunder anyone ? 😄

It always depends on your build and gear in this game. Currently running HSD but I really like the WH for most my loadouts. Some benefit from mag size. Try stuff out

Best thing you can do for most DPS setups.

uncut yarrow
#

so when catharsis says it heals 5% of max armor for 10s, is that 5% over the 10s? 5% per second? just 5%?

uncut yarrow
#

that sounds horrible for healing lol especially if you run a dps build where if you take more than like 3 hits you get killed. but, up to 45% bonus damage doesnt sound too bad

solar sable
uncut yarrow
#

thats what its seeming like lol

#

just looking to make a fun Iron Lung build but its looking like fun is more towards the meta side rather than unique and interesting side

#

tipping scales, iron lung, overdogs, equalizer, and we'll whip out some Dark Winter for shits and giggles

#

exodus is a full heal if im in cover every 40 seconds but would i rather do that or 30% more dmg to certain enemies

shy willow
#

Just throw it on a DPS setup and it'll work

uncut yarrow
#

yea im gonna try this new setup i made and see how it feels

#

we got +40% weapon handling goin with the modifier right now too so it should feel pretty solid

#

all these damn retaliations are always Hyenas dude

ah, Heartbreaker build #3 in the selection

did he quit?

guessing cuz of the prototype crap

solar sable

bingo

sinful tinsel
#

yeah if i had something else to play id probably quit

uncut yarrow
#

this is the most and longest ive actually like played the game

#

been back for like 3 or 4 weeks now and ive been going at it pretty decent

solar sable
# sinful tinsel yeah if i had something else to play id probably quit

I'll be honest, I also doubted if I wanted to stay or leave but I sincerely just decided to move on and see Proto as an extra, an option, I care more about build diversity (actually useful) and funsies than staying on the same build. I did that when I was on xbox and I got burnt out in less than 4 months which I regret doing bc I only cared about meta, I still do but less now

Anyways, don't burn yourself that quickly, search for diversity and fun as I mentioned

languid zenith
#

So in my friend group we have 2 damage dealers 1 is striker the other is Negotiators dialemma, we have a healer, im trying to find a good build to fit in for escalation, would an ongoing Directive one be good to use to help them with extra damage?

Looking for advice on an OD LMG build .... Running thinkerer. Stoner LMG with max mag as primary. Talents being pressure point and sadist or strained and pressure or sadist???

noble umbra
#

Can swap exodus for overdogs or keep tinkerer. This build SHREDS tho. Highly recommend checking it out

languid zenith
#

Could also do Ridgeways pride no?

Just asking, seen a few people with it

languid zenith
#

Ah okay

noble umbra
#

20 to 50, which is insane

subtle bluff
#

Just free 95% uptime.

flint arch
#

with OD you need to be able to reliably kill human enemies within one mag. that's just not possible, or at least extremely difficult, at higher tiers

shy willow
#

On kill talents really suffer in high tier and/or group escalation

flint arch
#

and if you lose your hollow-point ammo, you deal way less damage, so your contribution becomes way worse

subtle bluff

im debating between striker chest or soklov chest with memento backpack

flint arch
#

confusingly, it is unrelated with base weapon damage, specific weapon damage, and all weapon damage

dusty sorrel
#

I was testing this in case anyone is interested; it's a total destroyer. And the backpack functions just like Memento (but you avoid having to pick up the trophies).

#

You can use whatever weapon you want; I use the FAMAS and the MPX for the aesthetics. xD

i prefer being more than just a "total destroyer" and use a vigilance backpack to kill enemies even faster petter

the survivability comes from your enemies being dead and unable to shoot you

nimble moss
#

Ah yeh I see. Doesn't you miss a lot of damage from striker backpack ? I mean, I can understand for solo content that aren't high bullet sponge though.

Of course, this is a build for playing on Heroic—not for a Legendary run.

That build is fine, just swap the 2nd LMG for say, a fast-firing SMG.

#

you need something that can quickly build stacks on a Strikers build.

soft crane

Thats Sleipnir, just trying to grind for its proficiency.

hazy steeple
#

IIRC smg-9 is the current meta option.

#

If it's a deliberately bad build, don't use it as an example to someone asking for help.

soft crane
#

You know the only thing wrong with that build is just the MG5 and even then its a decent LMG for Striker.

hazy steeple
#

It's a decent LMG, but that build has no stack-building weapons, which are critical on a Strikers.

#

no stack building = you might as well use something else.

soft crane
hazy steeple
#

it's got a solid fire-rate, but I still wouldn't suggest it for stacks.
It's good to get good habits early on for div2.

which smg 9 or does it matter? converted or a2?

solar sable

gotcha ty ill customize this one and give it a shot ill toss the a2 out then 1 less thing in my stash

If you throw Unwavering on it as your secondary striker weapon, you can pop out the SMG, get the stacks built up fast, then swap back very quickly.

lol ok idk if i'm tired or just trippin on the word play but unwavering i swap to secondary smg 9 get 300% weapon handling swap to primary lose buff if i kill someone then swap to primary would i keep the buff?

Im kinda missing the point of saying alejandro is bad for stacks and then recommending a slower firing smg to build stacks. Unless im missing something

plush thistle
#

your getting to use a talent on another gun which increases the damage in total

hazy steeple
#

The talent on the SMG is massively better for it, as you can swap to it, get some stacks built up, then swap back incredibly fast.
It's saved my life a few times.

#

And with this season and WH built up via the modifier, it's almost too fast.
300% was actually enough.

i did target loot for about 92ish shd levels and stopped i got 190 something parts of exotics so wasnt like i wasn't getting exotics but the majority was what i had already

#

my acitivities ranged from outposts to countdown i didnt repeat manhunts and i didn't participate in iron horse or get into dark zone much (part of the reason i went with hotshot as my first build)

Hotshot as a first build is quite interesting

slim bay
#

Am i crazy or do sniper builds really fall off as you go up in difficulty?

#

i feel like you are boxed into using headhunter and determined, and in higher difficulties it can feel impossible to get the ball rolling cause of all the armor

subtle bluff

slim bay

care to explain further?

#

cause ur kinda just saying "skill issue"

strong cave
#

Or if you're being outright attacked, break their helmet and kill em. Keep the ball rolling

slim bay
#

my point is more along the lines that on the highest difficulty they all have armor and you dont have the same chances to build stacks compared to usual

strong cave
#

I can use HH builds just fine without determined (Nemesis user here) on Legendary

subtle bluff
#

That. Thanks...

To be fair I have yet to see anyone try to take a headhunter build into escalation

#

Sadly on escalation, LMGs are the go to for just mag size/mag damage alone

onyx sage
#

to be honest it's such specific content with specific builds it's hard to know if you meant exactly it or legendary/raids/incursion/retaliations which all mostly use the same builds

slim bay
onyx sage
#

escalation is not remotely comparable to the rest of the game

strong cave
#

I basically look at it as missions but you make them exponentially harder since they still use heroic AI

onyx sage
#

the builds you use in escalation you wouldn't use in legendary for example, and the opposite is also false obviously

strong cave
#

I'm not afraid to say it, I've only done up to tier 3

onyx sage
#

i haven't tried tipping but the long windup is gonna kill it

#

i haven't done tier 10, but got to tier 8, frenzy lmg and backfire is the play for me

strong cave
onyx sage
#

eh it's not worth doing

strong cave
#

Yeah backfire should be stupid easy to max stack that

onyx sage
#

I'm working on getting more cores but i'm not super motivated to play the mode ngl

#

but i think my goto build for it is ceska vigi + contractor + 4p striker

strong cave
#

I've been avoiding it. Even tier 3 is difficult not because the content is hard, but because the DAMAGE they deal hurts

onyx sage
#

ideally all proto

strong cave
#

Even with nearly 1m armor I still get nearly 1 tapped depending on the enemy

onyx sage
#

yeah you have to peek with tall cover like in leg except they're a lot tankier

strong cave
#

They really are. Occasionally one bullet will slip and hit me, sometimes 2 or 3 how bad the angle actually is. It's not exactly easy to gauge

onyx sage
#

foam is goated tho, even if they're immune at low health they still try to dodge roll it

strong cave
#

I've been rolling with a decoy to try to force pull aggro off me. Then run Nimble

onyx sage
#

i swapped off decoy to foam, keeping sticky

#

my decoy just dies too fast now just due to their scaling

strong cave
#

For me it's just enough time to allow me to reposition with nimble and get myself healed and back into the fight. It's been my go-to exotic slot for a hot minute now. I'll happily trade up the dogs if using cover to cover rewards me with heals

#

Expertise carries damage enough anyways

#

Plus I've got Lung/Famas measured. Crowd control and good DPS when needed

#

Around what tier would you say striker chest is a must?

young flower
#

is rpm or dmg more important for a striker build which one should I use

strong cave
#

I personally feel like they need a slight buff to really make SMGs be something to consider. It's a heavily dominant AR/LMG meta right now

subtle bluff
young flower
#

yea this isn't a permanent choice I just hit lvl 40 and I'm grinding up a striker build the guide I'm reading rn said just take whatever has a high rpm

strong cave
#

I personally would go for Dark Winter if using striker, that's a me decision though

#

If you can manage to get an SMG-9 with killer (assuming you'll be maining an SMG), should be set to go

#

I would like to advise against taking an SMG with striker since you have to get pretty close to an enemy for them to be effective. The AR/LMG combo is hard to beat at the moment since it's good for all distances

young flower
#

I don't have an ar with above 800 rpm rn

strong cave
#

The Aug will do just fine, the AR variant

#

It's accurate, has decent RPM for what you get, has an already large mag size as well

young flower
#

I don't have the aug

strong cave
#

Since you did mention you're new and likely don't have the 20 round extended 5.56 mag, the Aug is a solid choice

subtle bluff
strong cave
#

Can always target farm assault rifles in countdown

#

I'm reading the guide right now

subtle bluff
#

Small steps.

young flower
strong cave
#

Ah, with what you got? Heard. What's the 3rd attribute on your .45 cal vector?

#

You'll want damage to targets out of cover as that. If you have it, slap killer on that vector

young flower
#

magazine size

strong cave
#

Okay, moving onto the other SMGs 😬 what's on those?

#

3rd attribute for the 9mm SBR

young flower
#

interchange and sbr 9mm

strong cave
#

Well, HSD is better than mag size. Use the 9mm SBR for now as a placeholder. Slap killer on it if you have that in your talent library

young flower
#

alright

That's great to hear!

Despite my comments, as someone who loves theorycrafting, I'm actually fairly happy Buildstation exists.

I just didn't agree with the common "Yea it shows wrong numbers, it's just not finished, just use a different tool" reply being thrown around here; If it's not finished, a disclaimer would've been nice. We all know how the internet works otherwise; Someone is absolutely going to pull it out of context.

As a dev myself; Are there currently still any aspects that require solutions and/or appear hard (or too complex) to implement?

I just checked the messages again and.. yea, I've mixed two things up here.

Not only wasn't it you (god damn /invite starting names lol), I've definitely seen the "Need to notify the devs" as more sarcastic than intended yesterday.

The few times I've mentioned that Buildstation is great but their "calculations" page is not something you can go by currently, the comments have just been "Use a different tool", "What isn't working?" from people thinking it's accurate or "It's still WIP, so not important".

And - especially in a build advise channel - I'm not agreeing on a commonly linked build page having incorrect numbers "Not being important".

Bighorn is strong if you can beam enemies in the head reliably, but the handling isn't great so that tends to be easier said than done, especially at longer ranges

# subtle bluff There's per bullet dmg and DPS.

yeah mostly speaking about dps at this point , like just being able to shred mob in heroic cp retal etc , i'm still missing lot of shd level for now so my overall dmg is lower and usually other build tend to not have the necessarry damage to take down enemy before they can shoot you , and since its " dps " you are always repairing because you take a shoot xd

patent fossil
#

Give it a try and see how it works for you, personally I just find it too awkward to reliably laser headshots beyond short range, whereas something like lex with the hsd from the modifiers is much easier

Bighorn does suffer from a smaller mag than most, too

i always heard about lexington , but cant have one to try anything with it because its a seasonal item nah ?

or is there a waay to get it

Not at the moment, police m4 is basically the same though, just fractionally lower damage

As a solo player, what skills would you recommend I use for a striker build? I usually use a shield and revive hive. However, I find my shield gets destroyed relatively quickly on higher levels. I don’t want to sacrifice the red cores on my build, and I imagine there are better options for skills?

just dont get hit tm

so is there a fix coming for when rerolling an augment bricks your item?

#

Oh so the original stat is still there you just cant see it? Because its definitely bricked 2 of my clan mates items

#

when they rerolled the augment it rolled off crit chance and relogging does not change it back

smoky latch
#

I have not heard of that - can't say

trim abyss
#

ya its not the bug youre referring to

smoky latch
#

I see that now, ya

#

I don't have enough proto cores to reroll my augments, haha

trim abyss
#

ya its probly best not to even try right now

trim abyss
#

its already known, one of the main content creators for this game quit over it

smoky latch
#

Who would that be?

trim abyss
#

the guy that makes the spreadsheets, cant remeber his name lol

#

kia or soemthing

smoky latch
#

If you mean iKia, he quit the game before this stuff went even live

trim abyss
#

yep but it was this bug he got in the PTS

ya and these bugs dont even make sense unless they used AI to write the code

#

the drop rates to, like cmon, you cant tell me they actually thought that was a good idea

smoky latch
#

But hey, they already increased it 😄

#

IDK much about the Snowdrop engine but it must be hell of a mess with how easy it is to brick it

Is there a better gun to run with strikers + overdogs + equalizer than st elmos? I’m shd 400 so I know I’m missing some damage but I’m getting obliterated by black tusk drones and nades in retaliation on challenging.

smoky latch
#

Any AR with +790 RPM and a damage talent

trim abyss
#

lexignton has a bit higher numbers but many prefer st elmos

smoky latch
#

Lexington is basically just a Police M4 with only 4% increased base damage. Very small difference

trim abyss
#

yep and the added crwond control of st elmos and mag size is why many just use it

yes i know but the bugs themselves dont make sense for something a human wrote

broken edge
#

all game that lasts long enough just becomes a jenga tower of things that multiple different people have stacked on top of eachother

#

because the guy who wrote source code might not be around anymore, so the guy who is charge now has to go around it, and then later the third guy has to do that song and dance twice

#

MMOs are one of the few games that are just built in such a way they know they will revisit that 7 years later to completely rework stuff

trim abyss
#

ya im just saying, something is off about these bug in particular, what they added is simple and straightforward. Simply updating a gear piece like protyping should not cause the wide range of bugs were currently experiencing

#

is this a good roll?what build would benefit from this?was planning to roll all yellow.

smoky latch
#

Useful in PvP for armor regen probably

trim abyss
#

like what they added is a tried and true feature across MANY games and theres only a few explanations for why it went this badly

hey agents - are there any reccomended builds for a solo fresh 40 player? found an epic spreadsheet here

Are these stats ok for my build? It's Nego

Lexington secondary, primary cricket fox prayer knees and contractor gloves, the rest is nego

# shut kindle

You definitely want 60% chc for nego or you're losing opportunities to transfer damage

shut kindle
#

shall i swap a mod out for chc?

patent fossil
#

Yup

#

Or run ceska obliterate chest, nego chest isn't the best in most circumstances

shut kindle

I havent found one thats better than my chest yet

#

I'll try and get equaliser tbh, but it's pretty hard to get decent rolls on it

versed summit
#

You already protoed this 👀

gentle lichen
#

Are you consistently marking 5 enemies?

versed summit
#

Honestly for escalation there's enough targets to probably do that, but you just don't have enough damage output

shut kindle
#

Shall I proto striker instead?

#

Skill tiers are broken rn

#

also this is my second nego build, my main one i havent touched yet

versed summit
#

Striker is more worthwhile for escalations, but it also depends how you have it set up

shut kindle
#

It's great on single targets, but if you need to swap targets at all, youre done.

versed summit

you need the focused single target damage with striker to kill enemies rushing you.

Best guns to run with striker build?

# tacit hamlet Fair enough and yah, internet context sucks! LOL Nothing difficult/complex, it...

I could hop in when it comes to testing stuff in-game, general feedback (gimme Shroud bonus toggle :P) and if there's anything you have in mind but no way to easily implement, I can definitely work out a solution.

Currently not enough time to pick up another side project to continuously "work on", however. Just got into one. :p

On the general topic of the chanel; I've finally managed to hit the 20m+ (and 25m+) on my striker setup, without external (other people) buffs. So the "20-30m" claims aren't actually all that wrong, despite the person back then claiming that range with no context lol

I like using it on my FI set

livid tundra
#

using 4pc striker and overdogs, which is better fox prayer or equalizer or ceska+obliterate?

smoky latch
#

Depends on the content you run

#

Generally Equalizer and Overdogs up to heroic difficulty is commonly used
