Would be interested in this also. I currently have a specialized First Wave M1A with Brutal (headshot damage increased by 20%) and Destructive (armor destruction is increased by 20%) talents. Am very happy with those talents - also that it is a First Wave, rather than Classic or Socom. But now that I know that this is my preferred weapon (along with the AUG), then I am curious as to what a HE version would be like stat wise.
I have a level 31 SOCOM. Not able to post the stats now, as I'm at work. I'll be home around 21:30 though.
The loot trading will only allow players a short window to drop a squadmate's public loot that you may have mistakenly picked up, as far as I am aware.
I think it's more than that, as they talked about acknowledging that it was a much requested component of the game. I would be very surprised if it is just to correct a mistake - that's nor exactly adding a new gameplay mechanic.
Aside from being able to trade within your squad, it's a stupid idea, imo. It's also one that is ultimately detrimental to the game.
this seems like once you're high level you're getting very high end drop pretty much straight away. Shame reallyThat's it. MMOs type games are naturally grind-fests. If you don't give players something to keep them interested in grinding, they get tired of it pretty fast. Unfortunately, the modern-day need for instant gratification often wins through. Hence why people look for glitches and cheeses, instead of enjoying the challenge of the game.
Base damage on my HE 31 SOCOM is 34.2k with +167% headshot damage. DPS, for what it's worth, is 74,344. That's with a firearms stat of 2034. I'm also currently using assault rifle gloves and still have room for improvement on the rifle's mods, however.
Piece of piss
You were in it for ages.
It's an absolute bitch. The shotgunners are a nightmare and are what really hold the progress up. I did it with some randomers earlier and got 6 gold drops, which were all useless to me.
We didn't finish Russian Consulate...and took til 2am. This was a piece of piss.
RC isn't that bad. Just involves a shitload of retreating due to the shotgunners
I find it can depend on the group too. One group I was with spent ages just to get through the gates while another breezed through the gates in a couple of mins
as long as you have a good group the RC is easy enough. but the power plant is a bollocks, also its easier to find the big groups with the RC.
Yeah first time I did it it took us ages getting through the gates. I find the last two rooms are the biggest pain. Crowd controlling the shotgunners can be a nightmare as even if you get it a fair bit in front of them they will either be too fast or outright ignore grenades and flame turret. Plus the distance they have on their shotguns is ridiculous.
Gas seeker mines are the way forward and very underrated and underused, imo. They buzz round a number of targets, make some enemies run away and are a guaranteed stun, unlike the explosive one. They are great for dropping at the beginning of a new spawn, as they scatter the enemies, allowing you to focus fire on single targets.
Does that not lead to the enemies flanking you when they recover? I'd been using the flame turret along with the wildfire talent. Throw it down on a new spawn and it can keep them all in one place while everyone pours on the specials and grenades. The shotgunners are the only ones it doesn't really work on.
