Has it been mentioned whether or not we will be getting higher level weapon and gear mods?
Higher weapons yes, 229gs I believe. Gear mods - I can only assume we will soon as l33 stams drop in the DZ already.

Not destroyed, changed (crit chance will become crit damage). All other weapons will be rebalanced, gaining baked-in abilities (such as LMGs doing more damage to enemies out of cover, etc etc) and perhaps damage buffs. Some existing weapons may not get both of these, depending on how they're applied, so you'll be reliant on getting new drops.yeah thats how i'm reading it, all the SMG's will get destroyed but other weapon types wont get touched.

...is what I think he's saying.
It's all aimed toward making all weapon types more feasible to stop everyone using the same bloody weapons.
We were discussing existing weapons we already had, the change from crit chance to crit damage is a big nerf. SMG's wont be anywhere near as good as they are currently.
Cant wait for the DLC, i have season pass on both Xbone and PC, im going to farm the cap on intel ready for Underground missions!
My gears trash right now but hardly any point doing anything with it just now as i expect a lot of better drops will be coming with Underground and also changes to weapons etc.
Getting excited now![]()
The new gear set BPs, GS 268, Rank 40. How do you get rank 40? Does it come with reaching the new GS?
3 gear sets.

Really looking to get the B.L.I.N.D set, along with the new SMG. Should get better results from the Flashbang, plus 100% weapon damage with 4 pieces. Loving it.![]()
Will be online tonight around 7pm, anyone about and want to do DZ farming? I think I will be doing this all week tbh with a FL CM and CS in between for the weeklys
Do the double S&D's. I got 72 intel in around 1 hour yesterday and will do the same today to get to the cap.
New rank 40 I believe is maybe underground rank?
******
In a few days I have already made 350k DZ funds/ 2 million credits(would have 3 million but rolled a few items
And have a lot of construction materials.
I think I might be able to triple that though before the patch if not more. I would like to have 150 of each crafting resource, but will probably come up short on electronics.

Sounds good![]()
Will be on tonight for some DZ farmage as well if theres room
Will also farm the double S&D's, i have 52 intel currently, caps 99 i believe?
The big question that will answer that is "can we get the old gearsets in the new higher gearscore"
so our old existing LMGs won't get the new buff.
FFS i've got a few with really good rolls I've been holding onto for exactly this reason.

Anyone not done the weekly HVTs yet?
Yes, we can. We all saw the new sets in 191, 214, 240, 268. Which means it works vice versa as well - I have mentioned this before which you might have overlooked?
I overlooked that, so thanks F34R - glad that is confirmed as I was worried the old sets would no longer be applicable for max GS
Nowhere does it say that; it's merely your interpretation and I don't see it. It might be that a third talent becomes fixed for each (new) weapon type (see: the new talents shown for their specific weapon types; that makes sense).
Unless they've renamed intel to Directive Intel it's going to be a different type of intel. However; the devs did say the intel used in Underground is the same as that for HVTs.
Either way, it is good for everyone to get max intel just in case. I reckon they are renaming it though
By playing Underground you get to rank 40. It's called Underground Rank
Me too! I'm fearful they might ~halve the 4 piece bonus though :/ The 100% weapon DMG is a talent on the rifle, not the set, bear that in mind. I'll be buying that weapon first thing though, 204, 229 I don't care. The 100% pulse DMG increase, does it stack on top of your regular pulse + Precision (talent)? That paired with the Blind rifle makes me teary eyed with joy; it's pure elation!
me too, it looks mental

Has anyone ever seen a solid black weapon skin? I know you can have no mod on, which makes some look a bit plastic. Google yielded nothing.
don't think it existsunfortunately
Gonna farm all week as well so will be around all week![]()
I need to do them, will be on about 2pm my uplay is Agr0vati0n if you want to add me
Can't believe they are going to go and nerf all of our existing SMGs.. hardly seems fair![]()

I'd put money on itAll existing weapons will not be altered a part from smg's which the Crit chance will change to crit damage.
We will find out on Thursday
My last night for farming tonight before the patch, don't mind doing FL CM if Gamble wants a Holster xD
