The Division. Are we interested?

MissChief · 3 Jun 2016 at 15:23

Still want some decent Strikers stuff and some more Predators mark stuff. Ideally I'd like three Strikers and three Predators, but not Predators gloves as I have a set of Srrikers gloves with +AR damage. If I could stack that with the AR bonus from Predators, alongside the +20% Armor damage and +50% Crit Damage from strikers, I'd be a bit of a beast with my ACR. Wishful thinking I guess. At the moment I can only get my toughness over 300k with four pieces of Lone Star.

my drops have been gash recently.

Bit too slow for PVP (you might get loads of damage but good luck headshotting the rogue first time with your explosive bullet - you slow down to aim and shoot and he's gone by the time you've got your second bullet ready) and I get more damage on an AR - again because it's so slow to reload.

accuracy mods ftw. mines maxed and the crosshairs spring back uber quick.

DZ is no fun for me anymore.Being under 201 and being lumped in with 201+, and being a solo playing getting ruining by dz99s running around in groups of 4. I can't even progress, cant be bothered with it!

get your armour % up by using hvt, it becomes a lot easier

What are the best weapon mods to boost Dps? I only have about 550K DZ credit and am level 67 so cannot get all the stuff yet.

That's the wrong way to go about it, I found out the hard way myself! Pick mods for your weapon type; better have lower dps and be able to hit shots than high dps, miss your target but have killed all the birds instead

you should want 4 preds and 2 sentrys or 2 strikes

predators without 4 set bonus bleeding are not really worth
predators are pretty epic - yesterday i got down by rogue,but got enough damage on him so he died from bleeding and some random revived me,told rogue that karma is a b***

Finally got a 204 weapon drop......shotgun

Does anyone have a link to where the current weapons are OR what weapons work with what mods that you can buy or craft?
Currently looking for a marksman rifle, got one last night that had a standard DPS of 104k (so assuming it could be pretty useful?) Forgot the name of it all though.

You still need to reload the bolt action though, this is the issue!

if they're close enough to worry about that then maybe a MR is not the weapon to have selected

Copied that from my phone, not sure if it'll work?

Neil - Fear was talking about shooting rogues that are running away but by the time you've had a couple of pops they will be gone. Hence I don't think it's worth crafting one for the massive explosive bullet hs damage

neil_g · 3 Jun 2016 at 15:53

yeah you have to be a little lucky maybe, but if they're that far away to be able to disappear then you're not really going to be able to do much with any weapon.

Clipsey · 3 Jun 2016 at 15:54

Wow, thanks chanjy! works all ok, I'll take a look later.

Where do we get all these mods and drops?
Better to grind DZ (did that last night for about 3hrs with barely anything of worth

) OR Falcon Lost and the new weekly/daily missions etc?

Dont go just by DPS, especially for a sniper rifle. You should pay more attention to the DMG value as thats the per bullet damage.

No use having 200Kdps with 20K DMG/bullet if most of your bullets miss... Better to have 100KDPS with 40K DMG and most hit

Clipsey · 3 Jun 2016 at 16:32

True, something I didn't really think about with rifles.

GAM8LE · 3 Jun 2016 at 16:56

bear in mind though that higher DPS generally links to DMG as well.

If I run my electronics/tank build I get 140k DPS which equates to 8300dmg on my Aug.

If I run my DPS build with 243k DPS, dmg on the Aug is 12.1k.

EDIT: Thought of something else lol When I run full strikers, I can buff up to 500K dps as the strikers doubles the DMG at full buff.

But I do agree, DPS isn't the only figure to look at, but it is pretty important.

Hi, I am thinking of getting the division. would you recommend it or not?

its a 'good' game, I would rate it around a 7/10. It feels a bit like what Crysis 3 should have been. Its the best Ubisoft game in ages.

I got around 35% through the main game and realised the baddies were tirelessly generic and I got a bit bored.

Collecting gear is nice but to what end, they have constructed a stunning re-model of New York but it feels strangely empty.

Without the intentions of being rude i feel if you have only completed 35% of the main story you really haven't experienced the game properly. Similarly to diablo 3 you need to complete the game... and THEN the real game begins.

I agree the map does feel empty however i doubt in a epidemic NYC would be beaming with activity though maybe not as dead.

Richie · 3 Jun 2016 at 17:31

Anyone up for a "**** it Friday" in the DZ? - Shoot everyone and not caring about losing rank/XP/Creds/Keys etc....

Pratts - I know you'd be up for this up for this so anyone else?

I shall be on in around an hour - 1845-ish

GAM8LE · 3 Jun 2016 at 17:49

That sounds like a good plan Richie lol if there is space when I get on, I will group up.

TheF34RChannel · 3 Jun 2016 at 17:51

Flash, you asked about a build guide today. Because all items are random (except their set bonuses) there isn't one. However, I have found a video that may provide some guidelines for you:

Noy any more mate, I bought the M44 blueprint too which blew a little hole in my DZ finances.

Easily solved with a few rogue sessions though

On the M44 - meh. Not impressed. Bit too slow for PVP (you might get loads of damage but good luck headshotting the rogue first time with your explosive bullet - you slow down to aim and shoot and he's gone by the time you've got your second bullet ready) and I get more damage on an AR - again because it's so slow to reload.

Ah yes it is quite expensive! Well you'd need to have unsuspecting rogues (on the run, at an extraction, non-rogues) and properly mod the rifle to counter it's only downside; it being a bolt action rifle, by increasing the rate of fire which makes quite the difference. And be a decent sniper

Before I had the FW M1A I ran with a lower GS Custom M44 (PvE, which is easier of course) and loved it!

That file is very handy Chanjy, cheers! How can I download this (n00b)?

You really need to start recalibrating buddy, it'll make all your problems go away
