What do you guys look for on gear? I can never decide if gear is good or not and then my stash just fills up with greens and weapons lol

More than 1200 in the main stat, armour roll (if available on the piece, not all support it) or a good set of stats that will support rolling the major attribute to armour. Armour as high as poss is sort of a must, sadly.

My stash is almost full, need to have a clear out as I'll have better and worse gear. Stock up until you know you can prune it down and keep enough gear for sets (and their bonuses) I suppose.

My problem is less so gear and more so mods - difficult to get rid of them because of the granular nature of the stats. "That might come in handy..." Difficult to weed out the crap stuff completely, given possibility of use in other builds/chars.

Lex farm gets boring quick but the chest would be useful

pretty sure i got mine from a cache so wouldnt get too hung up on lexi runs.

its a rare item so may as well do something else and hope the RNG gods are smiling.

I've been testing my 4pc AB build and I'm quite impressed if I'm honest - can't 100% remember my 2ndary talents but they're not far off. My only dislike is the spread the G36 has since removing my stability mods from the G36.

Primary (G36) - Prepared,Destructive(rolled),Focused
Secondary (Famas) - Responsive,Deadly(rolled),Uncomplicated

Tested the build on Lexington, she didn't have a chance

i like using AR and sniper too much to attempt an AB build.. i imagine it would get boring quickly

I was the other way round lol. I had the AR/sniper build and was getting bored so switched some gear out to try new combinations.

This


AB is a godly setup but not for me personally.

D3 setup is still the best by far for PVE imo, so tanky and you do so much damage (consistently) too.

Wanting to try out a fire crest build now as with the right mods + gear, it could be pretty damn deadly + a lot of fun.

 

[Ryan0r]

I don't use AB simply because everyone else is, yawn.

FireCrest is lots of fun. Current main build is a Sentry's glass cannon/medic. Thinking about trying a D3 build now that shield and threat works properly.

This. With the drop chance being so low, it seemed crazy to run it 100's times. I got lucky and it dropped from a survival cache, so very glad I didn't grind myself to death.

Might try the auto-shotty Striker build out. What is the best build for to get close to the "tanktician" of old?

can it drop from the "basic" caches you can buy from vendors for 400k?

Unfortunately not no. Field Proficiency caches, survival caches + Boss drop from lex are the only ways I believe

 

[TonyTurbo78]

for me, nothing touches 4pc Striker with 2pc Sentry Call, throw in a Tact link and OMG..I vaporise enemies, it's so much fun. The 30% accuracy buff from the SC pieces allows that striker % damage stack to fill up so quickly. You don't need 100% stack, anything from 50% onwards and enemies just melt in front of you.

LOVE IT!!

ah thats a shame as i have been opening a lot of those for phoenix creds
will do the odd lexi run in hopes for one but what i have now is working well so not in any rush for it

 

[Nexus18]

Yup strikers still probably my favourite overall, love switching to my m700 when I have got a stack and doing 900k+ damage for one headshot.

Also, after months of grinding, finally got a better striker holster so slight improvements across all 3:

EAD - 68%
CHC - 27%
CHD - 79%
HSD - 111%

Firecrest definitely my next build.

 

[GAM8LE]

and the special drops continue, got an urban MDR tonight in survival so put it with my alphabridge to test as I don't have a Famas yet on my second account. Its not bad tbh as but uncomplicated talent is better.

I only put AB together for the time being to PVP but will make a few other builds tomorrow as Ubi haven't gotten back to me about my account yet. Will give them till tomorrow afternoon or wed morning then ring.

Just had my first game of survival, was fun.. until i got to extraction and didnt know about the enemy that spawns.... caught me off guard

will attempt another one tomorrow maybe but the matches are pretty long so gotta make sure i have time for them

Congrats i love survival. Prefer doing it solo or duo over larger groups though.

Aaand again cheaters

Really - they need to sort this thing,yesterday we had some russian who got this game soo cheap,he didnt cared if he will be banned and just kept teleporting,rpmhacking etc without any fear,we managed to kill him twice,but so what..
Nearly every streamer uses silent aimbot.Its ok if you get in quite server where you can farm lil bit,if not - its a multigroup/aimbot fest.
They seriously need to how to fix this or we will return to 1.3

The hardest bit of survival is if it puts the sample in DZ6 on the top of the building. I had to kill 4 shotgunners, 4 soldier, 1 soldier with grenade gun and a named target all yellow lvl 30. I have died at that bit about 5 times now but I got them all last night, it just keeps putting it at that point!

Mine is quite often there as well, but if I am speedrunning for weapon caches or w/e I don't bother to go get it.

Only if I am after 6 survival caches will I bother. It is a tough one though. I have started to sit at the right hand side where the rope is and snipe them as they come towards me now. You can take cover in lots of places and due to the animation of them climbing over obstacles, it allows for clean headshots before they can shoot
