Full patch notes below, quite excited actually. Will see how long that lasts for :D

NEW FEATURES

New Incursion: Clear Sky
Clear Sky is a new Incursion mission available in Columbus Circle.
You must be level 30.
The encounter is balanced for a team of 4 players outfitted with high level gear.

Hard Mode is available on May 24 when the update is released.
Challenge Mode will be made available the week after update 1.2 launches.

New Gear Sets

Four new gear sets have been added.

Final Measure

Stand your ground by defusing hostile grenades with this powerful defensive set.
2 pieces: +50% Exotic Damage Resilience
3 pieces: +15% Protection from Elites
4 pieces: When throwing a grenade, gain the defuse buff. When in range of a hostile grenade, the buff is consumed and defuses the grenade as well as gives you a grenade.

Hunter's Faith

Duel your enemies at range and come out on top with this survival focused marksman set.
2 pieces: +20% Marksman Rifle Critical Hit Damage
3 pieces: +20% Damage to elites
4 pieces: Hitting an enemy with a bullet grants you temporary armor. The further your shot, the more armor is awarded. The armor disappears after one bullet hits you.

Lone Star

Never reload your weapons again with this game changing utility set.
2 pieces: +100% Ammo capacity
3 pieces: +1000 LMG Damage, +1000 Shotgun Damage
4 pieces: When the weapon is holstered, it regains full ammo.

Predator's Mark

Make your enemies bleed with this powerful offensive set.
2 pieces: +20% Optimal Range
3 pieces: +800 Assault Rifle damage, +700 Pistol Damage
4 pieces: Hit 10 shots without switching target to make the target bleed for 100% of damage already done by those bullets.

High-Value Targets & Search and Destroy missions

  • At level 30, complete all Encounters and Side Missions in a named area to get access to the “Search and Destroy” missions in the Safe House.
  • Receive Target Intel as a reward for completing Search and Destroy missions.
  • Bring Target Intel to HVT officers at the Base of Operations to locate High Value Targets.
  • Complete daily and weekly High Value Target missions for end game rewards.

Hijack Extractions

  • When a player attaches a bag to the extraction rope, another player now has the ability to sever the rope.
  • Severing the rope will cause all extraction bags to fall to the ground, scattering their contents as a public loot drop.
  • Be careful, hijacking an extraction will instantly mark you as Rogue!

Sealed Cache

Named and Elite enemies in the Dark Zone can now drop Sealed Caches that contain mystery items.

Sealed Caches need to be extracted before they can be opened, just like regular loot drops.

There are four qualities of Sealed Cache:
Specialized
Superior
High End
Gear Set.

Player Stash in Dark Zone Checkpoints

Player stashes are now available in every Dark Zone checkpoint.
Checkpoints stashes eliminate the need for fast travel to your Base of Operations to collect your extracted loot!

ISAC Assignments

  • The ISAC Assignment is a new assignment type included in the map overview.
  • The ISAC Assignment will be available to players at level 30.
  • Every week a new ISAC Assignment will be available to the player.
  • The ISAC Assignment will reward players with exclusive vanity items.

General
The Historian high-end marksman rifle is now available.
Added a 201+ Gear Score bracket for highly leveled players.

Added new high-end named weapons in the game:
Hungry Hog: M60 Light Machinegun
Centurion: M1911 Pistol
Medved: SAIGA12 Shotgun
Historian: M1A Marksman Rifle
(Showstopper - AA12 Shotgun): Please note that while the Showstopper will be implemented in the game with this update, it will not be acquirable in-game until update 1.3

Game Changes
Gameplay
  • When a player is at max level, matchmaking for Hard and Challenge mode will now only seek players that are Level 30.
  • Armor damage mitigation cap has been increased to 75%.
  • Improved weapon blind fire and overall handling while in cover.
  • Reduced damages from level 34 NPCs using Shotguns and Sniper rifles.
  • Gear Score will now only take into account the equipped weapon with the highest Gear Score, and discard the other two. This will prevent players from equipping low quality weapons to voluntarily reduce their Gear Score.
  • Increased Gear Score requirement of Falcon Lost to better represent its difficulty (note that the difficulty of this Incursion hasn’t changed) Hard Mode: Gear Score 160 / Challenge Mode: Gear Score 180

UI
  • In the Overview of the Inventory, the Health stat above Stamina has been replaced with Toughness. This is a combination of Health and Armor. The player’s health pool will still be visible in the Character page and Stamina still increases Health.
  • The Phoenix credit cap has been increased from 1000 to 2000 credits.
  • Shooting a player while they are interacting with an object will cause the timer to push back. (such as opening a supply crate or hijacking an extraction)
  • Players now have a voice chat indicator in the game UI to see if their own VOIP works.
  • The Special Gear Vendor has been renamed Special Equipment Vendor.

Items
  • The Sentry’s Call 4 pieces talent will now only apply to semi-automatic weapons (pistols, shotguns, and marksman rifles).
  • The Second bonus on Performance Mods have been significantly improved.

Dark Zone
  • The extraction departure timer once the helicopter arrived has been increased to 60 seconds.

I had a quick go at lunch and decided to see what these "High-Value Targets & Search and Destroy missions" as I've cleared the map of every side mission/encounter anyway.

I did one of the search and destroy missions which comprised of going to three locations and destroying some yellow/purple dudes. This gave me a 163 yellow vest, multiple purples and 6 intel credits(Forgot their actual name) I then went back to the BOO and you can cash these in for high value targets that you'll then get more goodies from. I think that ranged from about 15 credits to 30+ (15 being phoenix credits and gun shader and 30 being a particular piece of green gear) I'm level 191 and found the search and destroys pretty straight forward albeit i died twice on the second part as i was trying to rush it due to lunch running out. :D Its a definite grind fest but it gives you something to do in the LZ i suppose?

The other thing i noticed is Stamina is now called Toughness and mine has gone from 60000 to 100000. (This made me feel better until i realised that its still bad, just higher than before..)

Is anyone up for running the incursions (falcon lost and the new one) and all the new stuff with me and cadmunkey tonight as we both haven't managed to do them yet. We just need two more. I was going to run FL last night with venom but didn't get time to go online.

We are going online at about 6pm so just let me know on here and I'll take a look later. Miles better in a group with mics.

Just me, or are those new gear sets complete garbage?

I like the sound of:

Final Measure

Stand your ground by defusing hostile grenades with this powerful defensive set.
2 pieces: +50% Exotic Damage Resilience

Could be useful in the DZ to try and mitigate the pummelling you generally receive from rogues.

I also like the idea of holstering a weapon to reload it leaving you to be able to dish out loads of damage and seemingly only break while you change weapon. However, I'm not sure its worth taking up 4 slots...

Clear sky is a lot faster to run and atleast gets you feeling like youre in a firefight and not just cheesing some pit, but having said that it feels TOO short for me.
Itll make gearing up super easy though, if thats of interest etc.

Ive not even bothered with the DZ today, I imagine theres a gents agreement in there to not shoot on sight, should last until tomorrow lol :D
