*** The Division Thread 2.0 ***

Or a larger mag size, thats something to watch out for when picking a sniper, those with larger mag sizes (10-20)will show higher dps but hit like a wet sponge, when picking a sniper always look at the base damage, I think the best choices atm are custom m44 or m700 carbon for pve, for deadeye builds I think its the svd.

There is definitely something im missing here. I went down the road of getting my toughnes up really high but now want to try getting my DPS up instead What stats on gun enhancments increase my primary DPS? I've been making mods for ages but cant seem to get my dps up. Are there no blueprints to buy other than the ones in the main base? They used to be in the DZ. I have not found a new blueprint as a drop/reward since I started playing again, not even in the cases you get for competing certain goals. The blueprints for sale at vendors seem to be odd. They higher the power i.e. 34 cost less than the lower power versions, which to me is just strange.

My second try at survival was thrilling stuff. Got into the DZ with not a great deal, managed to pick up someone elses loot which was full of gold items and about 8 or more loot crates. Ended up getting very lucky with 4 other people coming on the scene to deal with the hunters. Died and got rezed about 4 times. Then could not get the heli, the door closes on one side, so i stood there and shot it a bit out of frustration. I ran around to the other and just managed to get in with a second to spare. Nearly had a heart attack.

Great game really having a lot of fun again.

regarding DPS i wouldnt worry about that too much.. as too many things affect it, like rpm, mag size, reload speed etc
also damage ofcourse..
for example my bolt action sniper has around 250k dps.. but it will bring down an elite in only a few shots to the head
whereas my marksman rifle has 400-500k dps but would take a lot more headshot to bring an elite down

theres also things like the talents to consider and enemy armour damage..
basically an assault rifle will be your go-to weapon for PVE... if you can get one with responsive, brutal, destructive, ferocious or any good damage based talent then that would be good

as for the helicopter in survival, it can only hold 4 people.. 2 on each side, so if 2 people get in one side the doors will shut and not open again
 
What id like to know is whether or not im pulling my weight when doing missions with other people, especially when trying to do heroics. The parameters for the primary DPS counter are obviously set do a default by the devs. What would be nice is to be able change those parameters to suit my own play style, then i could tell what damage im doing without having to go to the range for 2 hours testing everything. Maybe im just lazy?
I can do all of the daily HVT on my own so i must be doing ok - not tried the ultra hard weekly ones. Its just that I see some people take down bosses like I take down yellow elites.

So I could have a sniper rifile that shows as having 500000 primary dps and one that shows 400000 primary dps. The one that shows 400000 could be doing more damage per shot than the high dps version?

Correct, there is an MMR, that with enough firearms and bad talents can make your DPS over a million - but in reality - you are doing very little damage. Its because they factor in accuracy and reload speed massively.

What to look for are the talents - flat damage dealing talents are good like responsive(for short range fights)/destructive(for PVE), competent (third slot mainly for extra damage) unforgiving(lower health moments), deadly (increase on crit damage), brutal(increase on headshot damage) etc etc

Then the mods should complement your choices. Like if you go mmr and brutal - you will want mods that increase Headshot damage such as the VX1 scope, and Omega rifle suppressor. However if you are going SMG and want crit damage increases, you would go pro red dot sight/C79 scope, small red grip and a loud vent break.

Then going on from that you would be looking at rolls on gear like Crit Damage on knees, enemy armour damage(for pve) on chest etc.

TLDR: Forget the DPS number, focus on firearms, talents and matching stats on mods and gear :)

Yes, I have 999 on all materials and all colours...might see how many I burn through trying to get one with Predatory, Destructive and Ferocious.

Update on the Lightweight M4 blueprint...on the 23rd roll I got one with Predatory and Ferocious...base damage and EAD on the lower end of the scale though. Recalibrated the other talent, Destructive came up first go, so now I have an M4 with the three talents I wanted on it.

The extra 100 rpm increase from my P416 G3 is noticeable, seems to shred the elites faster, however of course at the expense of more reloading. It also handles a little more wildly, I've had to re-mod with a bit more stability.

Note that I have recalibrated my P416 G3 at least 20 times to try and get Destructive with no luck, and I got it first go with the M4. The RNG in this game does my head in sometimes...

Cheers,
 
I love last stand so much! Played it for 4 hours straight tonight using a mix of HE, Deadeye, strikers and alphabridge and had an absolute blast!

Last two matches were insane, m700 deadeye - two taps ftw lol I need to get that tac advance one tap though to increase the hackusations even more :D

Servers have been great, haven't had this much fun on this mode since the first week :D

Streaming the mayhem every night as well, come say hello :)
 
Nearly everyone has stopped playing since they discovered Player Unknown's Battlegrounds it seems. At least there's on one on The Division when I've looked the past few nights.

Im still playing every evening :) Just doing a few runs of PUBG then hopping onto division to do LS mostly but im not going to play pubg much until it gets optimised, got bored today.

Did legendary just now with people from MM and it went super well and enjoying LS a lot so will be on more again
 
I'm just concentrating on my main character now, log in every few days to see what missions are there for the daily, if it's one I like I'll do it otherwise I'll just log out again. Might do an underground run or HVT if I feel like it.

I've moved on to the Witcher 3 GOTY (with all DLC), now spending most of my gaming time on that masterpiece.

Cheers,

Not really true
After trying that PUB i can only appreciate even more what Div is,for me that PUB game is just no no - this game will get boring way quicker than Div - always same map,always same tactics more or less,graphics are poo - yes,graphics matters,its 2017 and we have 1080ti's and Titans
Also few other new games around,im in Div daily,even if its short im still playing it,trying to use seekers as much as possible till they get nerf :D
Cant see any game on horizon who can keep me playing for 2k hours

Seeker Noob :P haha!!!

PVP survival forever!
 
Went into the Dark Zone earlier, for the first time in ages. IMHO it's gone downhill, the minute you leave the DZ entrance and go into the DZ, there are groups of rogue agents just waiting to kill you. It's not really any fun when it's 5 v 1, but at least you don't lose DZ experience etc any more. The Dark Zone could benefit from a PVE only mode IMHO.

Isn't that what the rest of the game is?

Agreed, but there needs to be more Farmable content in the open world similar to the DZ. Missions and incursions are fine if you are a group but if you want high level gear you either solo in the DZ or match make and that's awhile different world of hurt.
