I dont feel bored yet but then Im not farming like mad for anything. I have done about 20 lexi runs overall, but not that many in quick succession and am just going through each of the activities and if something better drops, happy days, if it doesnt, ah welllol
My builds arent min maxxed but they are all 55% armour with good stats and I am able to replace 1 bit every day which is good.
For named pieces, I havent had many but im not bothered, they arent the be all and end all of gear.
Its no wonder people are getting bored though, farming the same **** over and over again, and also the same easy **** over and over without challenging themselves.
I would rather work on efficiently and quickly doing incursions, survival PVE, UG with directives and also...survival PVP which I havent completed yet!!
This is exactly why since 1.4 I've been getting into PVP a little more. Still no good at it but at least fighting other players gives you some variety. I bet there are huge swathes of the player base sick to death of the same dailies, UG or incursions but still won't try the DZ. It's practically like a whole new game to play. Yes it has many faults but it's a lot more satisfying dropping another player than an NPC.
I have extracted probably 200 items so played it a good amount and Im not bored yet. It always seems to be different each time I play.
I have been doing it solo mostly, getting to the DZ and clearing landmarks till I have 6 survival caches and then extracting but I would like to try and do different things like speedruns and so on.
4 man groups are tougher as the resources are more limited.
Even not many people doing incursions as before. But yeah, would like to do more PVP for sure.
Been enjoying survival, you learn a little bit every run and its generally straight forward once you learn the pacing and steps to take.
Got caught with my pants down last run though, got my choice loot of 3x Gear / 3x Survival caches and went to extract at DZ3 with my standard G36/M44 + balcony combo. Took my hunter out with plenty of time left and was chilling on the helipad crates minding my own business when all hell broke loose as 2 players + 2 hunters rolled in with 30 secs left. Killed one hunter but some how got insta downed by the other one even though he was in cover and not even looking at me. Luckily I managed to self-res and flanked him for the M44 MLG headshot. Extracted safe and sound in the end, so all good.
@Gamble I need to check the Div tech map you posted as I think I've found a few more to add

The random nature of drops is a pain in the backside. As I said in a previous post, I am still to loot any Ab pieces in 1.5. This is despite spending an inordinate amount of time farming both the LZ and the DZ. I have since decided to stick with the set I am using at the moment, rather than chase any better drops. If I happen upon any better gear during my activities, so be it. Not sure what I'll do if the GS is increased...
I'm going to stick with the following -
Crit damage - 45%
Crit Chance - 25%
Armor - 55.4%
EAD - 65.5%
HS - 123%
With LB's chest piece, my elec goes up to about 118k (cool-down permitting). I was using a four piece Striker set up until recently, but the bonus is negligible tbh and I've not missed it. I would have much rather used an AB build as I had been doing since it was first introduced, but it's not meant to be.

Yeah there is a lot of div tech missing from the map! I really need to get updating it and taking more screenshots as I find new locations.
That happened to me but luckily it was only one other hunter! But yeah, get too close and they get the hatchet out lol
Damn no AB pieces since patch drop?! That's not even RNG that's just mean. Best thing to do is farm in a group of people who aren't after AB gear, or at least willing to drop it for you. I had 4pc Alpha the first night of the patch and have improved every bit bit of at least once or twice since.

Last few days by any chance? There have been a lot of connection issues over the last 24-48 hours.

Nice stats. What are the other 2 HE pieces? (Other than the chest piece)?
The random nature of drops also took me in a certain direction...I was planning on an AB/Nomad build but I've received a grand total of 2 x AB and 1 x Nomad from the hundreds of items that have dropped. Plenty of Deadeye and Hunters Faith that I don't ever run, and quite a bit of Final Measure, DFNC with a reasonable amount of Pred, striker and sentry (although most of the armour rolls are well below average). I sell about 90% of what I pick up. If I can improve one stat on one item on one character per day, then I'm happy
Last night I improved my armour on a holster by 20 points...
Are you running the 2 AR in the hope of picking up the AB? You must burn through the ammo with a Famas and an LVOAC!
Cheers,

The gloves are spec-ops and have a talent (that I can't remember the name of) that ensures your first shot is a critical hit. It works well with sniper rifles, not so much with assault. The rolls are higher than any gloves I have found so far though. The backpack has the specialized talent which takes a percentage of FA and Toughness, and adds it to Elec. And, I didn't realise until I posted the screen shot, but that's not the LB chest I normally use, but a Vigorous chest.
Yeah, I used them initially when 1.5 hit and I still had my old AB gear, but in the absence of any other parts, I kept them. Tbh, ammo isn't so much of an issue. Ammo is rolled on both the LB chest and the one in the pic, which gives me about 1200 rounds.
Deadeye and Hunters Faith are the bane of my life. It's all I seem to loot
I sell most of the things I loot, but if an item even gives a slight increase in stats, I normally use it.
Good job i like running Lexi, because if not, I would be going insane now.... Still no bloody Barrets vest 
ohhh and some good news here for fans of DX12 (it worked really well for me in the PTS on a GTX 1080).

They are looking for people to help with the 1.6 PTS in North Carolina and you just need to fill in the form to be in with a chance of participation (I have done it).
