Cheers man, will do.
Really like this game and love playing, however I know I'm 'missing' out on tons of stuff in order to make my dude perform better. Just realized if you scroll down it states what 'sets' you have (sentry. predator etc) and what their bonuses are.
I was too focused on DPS and that's it. Guess that doesn't really change the power of your gun.

Dps stat is a lie

search for "skillup" on YouTube he is a very good theorycrafter and his builds/explanations are second to none as he actually tests what he says.

I've only rerolled a couple of times, and honestly was confused at what to do (I'm ok to admit that )
Where do we get level 32 mods, I've only seen level 31 in DZ etc.

I've had a few drop in DZ6. Apparantly level 33 mods are also lootable, but very rare.

Increasing gear and weapon score levels only seems to serve as an other reason to grind for hours in order to attain a marginal difference, and to add false sense of longevity to the content.

That's pretty much the game I'm afraid.

Never seen a lvl 33 mod, I will believe they exist when I see one.

True, but it would be somewhat more forgivable if the content usually made to coincide with the inevitable raise in gear level, didn't demand such an agressive and mindless grind for minimal gain, but was perhaps something more purposeful, engrossing and if possible, story related in order to build upon what is at present a lifeless shell of a city.

DPS isn't a lie, people just misread it and don't look past the initial figure.

DPS consists of DMG/RPM/Mag Size/Crit Hit chance/crit hit damage etc

The firearms figure is the best to look at if we are talking of a target stat.

CM CS ftw! Looking forward to trying that.

whats your armour at?

i found that first off but improved my armour which helped loads. you still have to remember that you can't just run into a mob and you have to use cover well.

Confirmed, crit was always supposed to be a 60% hard cap.

also categorically denied stealth nerf drop rates.

They can say what they like after the event.

The fact is they never said that it was a bug before, when people could crit over 60%, then patched it without telling anyone.

neil_g · 9 Jun 2016 at 10:50

stash size increase confirmed for 1.3

sure they can. however like i say it sounds just as counter productive as making armour cap 100%. why would a 100% crit chance ever be a good idea to allow.

why it was not confirmed as a bug i dont know though.

e: interesting point though, what benefit would it give them to nerf it and then intentionally not say?
