Got very similar assault rifles to you tupro, can't make my mind up which one to use either, both have brutal, destructive, one has the vicious (critical hit chance by 10% when more than 2 bars of health) and the other has unforgiving (more damage with less health bars). EAD and base damage is pretty much the same.
Got a decent enough ferro mask from a field cache yesterday:
Can't make my mind up which HE mask to use, ten. VS rejuv. VS the other one where healing is improved by 30% in the last bar of health (leaning towards this type)
This game loves to give me the cad. guns, I have got 5 in 2 days
Completely agree, it was fun and chaotic for a few hours but meh after that, it's just TDM mode, which doesn't suit this game imo, despite the DZ PVP being frustrating with the multi-groups and "griefing", it is the best for PVP due to the tension and not knowing if someone/group will go rogue or not + the manhunts etc. All the DLCs have been lack lustre imo, survival is epic but I hate how it isn't part of the main game.
It's a shame that year 2 "content" isn't actually "content" either. Such a disappointment as going by all the leaks of central park etc., it could have been a very good year for DLC. I'm guessing that they had planned to incorporate a lot more for year 2 but since massive/ubi are taking on the avatar game, they probably realised that they couldn't do both.
Overall, I have thoroughly enjoyed the division but imo it really has been lacking big time for content, which is disappointing for a game of this genre and the world of which it is set in. There was so much that they could have done with it. Positive side of it is that at least they will have all the basics etc. ready and done for the inevitable division 2

I am on fire tonight, 3 Survivals completed back to back solo. Just killed 97 enemies in one game, including 3 Hunters lmao. OMG though, took my own hunter down, but as I was doing that someone ran into the extraction bringing another one in, then whilst we were fighting that one another player came in bringing the last hunter, which i ended up killing both of 
. Never downed, 1st extraction, perfect score so much loot to open.
I adore survival.really gets my heart pumping at the extraction. Where were you Nexus, was messaging you.

I didn't get any messages back unless you sent them when I went offline.Only had time for a quick boss run tonight anyway.
i dont mind survival but i cannot do them back to back.. usually takes me around an hour so i need a good few hours break in between lol
just lately though ive been messing up a lot.. keep forgetting how weak you are in survival and end up being overwhelmed

If you're grouped you can't accidently go rogue shooting your team mate. You have to disband first.
The LZ Boss run is quite rewarding, if you run the entire circuit and take out any trash mobs you come across along the way, you should end up with about 50 items. A lot of this will be purple or blue gear - still good to pickup and sell. On average, I end up with 5 x 256 weapons, 2 x 256 pistols, 12 x 256 High End armour pieces and 8 x 256 Set pieces, the rest being blue or purple to sell.
The daily High Value Targets are also quick and easy to get loot, and even chasing the Intel to be able to run a HVT mission gives reasonable rewards.
AB is still viable for PvE, note it has had a bit of a nerf in that you can only use the third talent on your second weapon (so 4 talents in total) but the tradeoff is that the stat requirements are waived (so for example if you need 3832 electronics for the Ferocious talent, with an AB build you don't). Most sets are viable for PvE, I personally run an AB, a Striker and a Lone-Star in terms of sets. The all High End build is also viable, particularly if you can pick up some Exotic Skulls MC gloves (and you will get some Skulls gloves from the LZ bosses at some point). An all electronics build, especially with a Tacticians set is also viable now, although you have to drop a lot into electronics.
I roll as much Health, Enemy Armour Damage (EAD) and Damage to Elites (DtoE) as I can. If you want to go more glass-cannon, don't worry about the extra health and roll EAD. DtoE is now a minor stat.
ARs are still good and I use them on all my builds, I like the extra EAD since I roll health where I can instead of EAD. Most of them are good, the Lightweight M4's and LVOACs tend to be popular but I have a some good G36s and my main build runs a Custom P416 G3. The AK-47/74s and SCAR-L, while having higher per-bullet damage suffer from lower RPM compared to the others. Note that SMGs have received their crit chance back and may also be viable, depends on what you like and how you want to play. You obviously have to be a lot closer with the SMGs or shotguns. On the long range side, the once "king" of sniper rifles, the M1a has been nerfed out of usefulness, so there are a few options. The SVD fires fast and is accurate but low bullet damage, the SRS and M44s are bolt action but hit harder while the SCAR-H is a good option. However, I think the M700s are the best option, especially if you can pick up a carbon or a tactical.
Cheers,
One thing to remember, their blogpost that came out around year 2 clearly states what we know so far, is "some" of the major updates coming in y2 and its for release 1 only.
What these other major updates are, and what release 2 is we dont know. I also said on discord they need to be so very careful on their wording as people will pick up on any slight discrepency.
For example - one guy said no new story content would be made, where as the creative director said they wanted to focus on an expansion and continuation on narrative aspects part of the game in y2 - which one is it as you cant have both lol
Secondly, the same guy said there would be no map expansion - that is fine as we dont need one - we need a playable area expansion as our map is huge as it is (including out of boundary areas)
The original article also stated PVP expansions and expansions on previous DLC was also on the table but there was no mention on the anniversary stream
Truth be told, im not jumping to any conclusions, but at the same time, not keeping my hopes up as we simply do not know what they actually have planned as they released very little, and some of that released information contradicts itself.
****************
Im going to spend a bit of time tonight sorting out my stash and min maxxing all my current builds and then just cruise along having fun in the game, weeklies and so on and survival PVP. Much fun

True gamble. Would be nice if someone cleared up what will be happening. It really would be a shame if they didn't add more story content + different types of missions/incursions as well as adding central park, be it an addition to the main map or as a separate extension like the underground.
Personally I think they had originally planned to do a lot for year 2 but since they are working on the next avatar game, which will be a huge title for them I imagine so they'll need all the resources they can spare. However, saying that, the avatar 2 film (which is likely when the game will be released to tie in with the hype and sales etc.) has been delayed for the second time, no longer will it be coming in xmas 2018 so who knows, maybe this will give massive some breathing room and allow them to put some of the team back to the division and do what they had originally planned.

I thought it was the same team from massive/division?
Either way, if avatar the film was coming out at xmas 2018 and the game was being released around then too, that is an awfully short time to produce a game, at least a "good" game anyway
Did a PVP survival run tonight and got 23,358 score Was epic, a group tried to gank us and got tanked lol!
However, I did a PVE run after and it was still super fun, but I think I prefer PVP :O Just that level of "who will be round this next corner etc"
Going to do another run tomorrow and then work on the other weekly in the DZ

It's my favourite mode Gamble, give us a shout mate, I'll go in with you.
Anyone I can add to do some Incursions? I'm getting bored of doing it with randoms who don't type in chat / use voice comms / have no idea what to do.. and the occasional one that does leaves after the first wipe.
Pretty frustrating when you want the cosmetic items

23k score! and pvp too
i cant even get 10k score on pve..
We ended up clearing almost the whole DZ, 13 survival caches in total lol
The PVE score after was 19k i think but I went down once.
The main bulk of the score comes from the types of enemies killed - it has a large value based on their type - ie veteran/elite/named etc so a fair balance needs struck between LZ and DZ.

Just jump on the OCUK discord and do an LFG although it is been quite quiet the last few days tbh. The other alternative is to do an LFG on the reddit discord. There are some potatoes on there but others are quite good tbh.
