So does that mean if I have more than one lvl30 I can run dailies multiple times?

Yeah you can run them twice if i aren't mistaken.

Yes, once per char then you can just run challenge mode over and over across chars till you hit the cap then you'll have to spend them to acquire more.

I'm now 46 in the DZ and have been looking at the AR blueprint from the church Vendor in the DZ. Even the base damage roll does more than the AK-74's maximum damage roll. I also like the fact it's a blueprint so I can roll it a few times to get a decent talent roll.

Don't waste your creds or materials. The SA-58 is a 3 shot burst rifle - it's god awful to use and your actual DPS will be significantly lower (even if that's not reflected on the ingame DPS count). I made that mistake, made 8 of them to get a good roll - then actually used the gun and ... ugh... What a waste of div tech =(

+1 the SA 58 is terrible, i made the same mistake thinking it would be the dogs, and although you hit bigger numbers when you hit headshots your DPS goes down so much. Don't do it!

As the late great Erik Bauersfeld said famously..... IT'S A TRAP!

Is the one the BoO vendor sells any good or do I just need to wait for a decent roll police m1a to drop off a boss?

I want to try a sniper with my smg rather than using the liberator.

I see no mention of the burst fire anywhere in the description? What a shame. Sticking with my AK74 then!

I use the police mk17, it's pretty decent - will do until I get a decent m1a.

I just switched from the AK47 to the Lightweight M4, the recoil is much more straight vertically making it easier to stay on target I find.

Nice upcomming updates mentioned in the State of the Game stream today.

- Level 75 and 90 DZ Blue prints
- Cheaters have one chance of redeeming themselves. If they offend for a second time they are account locked and perma banned.
- DZ will be based on Gear level also. Good to stop those low level trolls who still pack HE gear from creating alts.

So much more was also discussed.

Wow...nice.

The last point, do you mean the DZ player level will be based on gear level, or DZ drops etc will be based on gear level?

Only thing that concerns me is having level 90 DZ players with the new blueprints running about with players who are less than that.

Also - when is this being released again?

This angers me a little, level I'm at 53DZ and that was flogging a dead horse, this game lacks content to warrant carrying on to level 90. I'm done with this brain dead game now.

Dark Zone changes
Items can be bought with these Dark Zone Ranks (15 / 25 / 40 / 75 / 90) more granular DZ Ranks
New Dark Zone Brackets (below 160 / above 160)
160 = Full high end 31

So Full level 31 gear will push you into the upper bracket.

Josh · 5 Apr 2016 at 12:32

Jesus they are raising the DZ level, I've only just hit 29 for gods sake.

Griiiiiiiiiind.

Mario · 5 Apr 2016 at 12:34

any have link to that stream? wanna watch it

Born_2_Kill_83 · 5 Apr 2016 at 12:34

More DZ levels will mean less people going Rogue which means boring DZ, and they're not going to fix the ridiculous Div Tech looting

Quoting myself here...

What would stop people just removing one piece of 31 gear for a slightly lower piece and doing what they do now in the dz?

Good news on the cheats and blueprints

My concern is the opposite. What's the point of gearing up to kill noob rogues or be able to defend yourself against rogues if the game actively tries to keep everyone geared equally? I like being stronger than 90% of non-cheating rogues, I put in the time to gear up for that very reason...

But if you're stronger than 90% of non cheating Rogues that also makes you stronger than 90% of the player base if you go Rogue. The game needs balance otherwise the top 10% can act with impunity.
