Gaming Tom Clancy's - The Division | Division 2 announced

Got the Striker Knee pads to replace the nomad. My vector DPS went from 131-163k. Downside my health went from 70k to 55k

With 38% CHC, 161% CHD and 116% HSD with pulse can do over 100k headshot damage :drool:
 
Did the Daliy challenge with 2 other guys. One of them took out the boss in 3 shots :lol:, needed to make up for the amount of times he died.
 
Interesting Special Gear developments in BOO. I'm not 50 yet in DZ but I'm thinking it's back to Lex speed runs to get the M1 and Aug for the greater good...
 
Cheers for the updates about the weapons.

I bought the M1A as I prefer those talents over the M1A I currently have.

The Aug does more damage than my current, but I prefer my current talents.

I will get the Aug - but need to get more Phoenix credits fast!!

I did think that going from a 163 weapon to a 204 weapon would make more of an impact on my gear score etc.
 
Balls why did I spunk most of my credits on armour, the Aug is my favourite gun and now I am miles off :lol:

What's the best way to farm credits? Spamming a mission on hard or just roaming the DZ looking for bosses?
 
Everyone is supposed to get 500 credits this weekend right?

They've given you 150 if you look in the reward vendor area, don't know if they are going to spread them out or give you more today too.
 
Damn, wish I was locked out. Really finding it hard to get going in this game.

A named boss drops 2-4 Pheonix coins in DZ, plus the odd Npc drops some too. a mission on challenging (without glitching it) with people who know what they are doing can take at least 40 minutes, in that time in the DZ you could get the same if not more Pheonix coins plus good loot. You would need a friend of course in DZ, and you need to take advantage of re-spawning named people once you cleared the area. Just do a loop of 3 named boss areas. Rinse and repeat really.

So I just to the daily hard missions, the daily challenge for 10 more Pheonix coins and then do all DZ.

How do you manage with health that low? I am at around 75ish and in dz6 you've got to be very careful of shotgunners and snipers! I suppose you just stay in cover and kill them quickly :lol:

Fixed.

For that high DPS set up is 3 striker (mask, pack and knee pad) 2 Sentry (harness and call holster) and nomad (gloves), i proberly only run that in hard missions and roaming.

Higher dz I might just put my Nomad knee pads back on for 70 k health so it be 2 striker 2 sentry & 2 nomad

Challenging missions I put my Senrty call backpack on as the skill set for 3 Senrty gives me 20% damage to elites (30% overall)
 
Will be up for farming Lincoln Tunnel this eve if anyone else is for Phoenix Credits? From 9:30 UK time?

I've been managing to complete Lexington on challenging in 15 minutes with randoms.
 
Haven't had much time on it tonight, but I did all the daily missions etc to get a feel for the AUG.

In the shooting range, it does around 20k more per hit over my vector which is nice, but I don't know, so far, haven't really had a feel for it.
I also think the talent self preserved may be something I've either relied on, or is just a great talent. Getting 3% health back from critical damages without noticing maybe vital to my style of play.

I'll give it a real good test tomorrow though
 
I was going to buy the AUG and the M1A but those are not the best talents for me.

I'll wait for the blueprints again.

Gloves can have health regen per kill. If you haven't recalibrated your gloves yet or once you loot a similar glove from DZ, get that talent in to offset the loss of self preserved. It's saved my ass a few times.
 
@Damien - You up for another Incursion run later? Definitely want to get it done with my alt (and maybe my third character, if you guys are up for another) before reset.

Had a run with some guys last night and we were breezing past the shotgunners but it went to pot when our two explosive runners were doing the last and second-to-last runs. It happened 4-5 times and I gave up, as it was around 4am. So frustrating.

Yeah I am. Will make sure to get Survival Link unlocked. Around 220 away from it.

Already have that up to 20% :lol:
It's probably more in my head but I feel like I am missing something using the AUG.
I never thought that 3% really did anything, but maybe it did.

I didn't even know you didn't have it last night. I didn't even realise you were on your alt until a couple of rounds in, when I was trying to figure out why your first aid wasn't lingering.

I'll be on around 16:45.
 
I said in the message thingy I was moving stuff to my alt before joining you :p got better gear than the last time we beat it but without survivor link and the master mod on the heal it isn't that good so I'll work on unlocking both over next few hours before you're on.
 
Just had a go on challenging mode for the incursion.

It went really well. :nervous:
 
Just bought the AUG and I'm rocking 240k damage with it now.
 
I'd find it hard to see most people ever being able to complete the challenging mode of the incursion, at least with the gear we are currently getting.
 
Packs of 200+GS in the DZ all day today. Managed to take a fair few out through tactically applying explosive rounds, Survivor Link, Sticky Flash Bombs etc. On the whole though I got a pasting.

Tempted to grind PCs for that AUG before it disappears..

We all just died on wave 15 of the Incursion, got hit by a sticky bomb and it dropped all 4 of us and we didn't have a Life a Support for the first time all game. There was a few rage quits ha
 
One Rogue today...Helped the guy when he was nearly dead, then turned on me when I was extracting. Frustratingly, I forgot his name, so I ran back as quick as I could...... Intentionally went rogue for the first time today. Whether it was the guy or not who killed me, I don't know. I hope it was. Feel bad other wise.

No notable loot. A tactician mask which I won't ever use, and a Scar-L which is worse than my purple one

EDIT: Getting used to the AUG now. It definitely kills quicker. I do miss getting that 3% health on crit hits, and once I get the Vector 204 blueprints, will probably roll until I get that again.

It does slightly improve my game somewhat though, having to be more defensive, use more cover etc.
The vector was a perfect run and gun with all the health benefits

Hope your friend didn't mind me joining. Went pretty much as I joined :lol:

And sorry about the rogue kills. The first one came out of nowhere. I killed him but it was a hell of a fight.
Second one. I am not sure what happened. Guy running up the stairs was rogue, killed him, but as I turned around 2 or 3 of his buddies where there.
I some how hid and they didn't really come after me. As I was running back to you at the safe house, the one I killed was running my way, luckily he just ran passed me :lol:
I didn't keep any of my loot, hope you got something for your troubles
 
So apparently having Protection From Elites actually INCREASES damage from Elites...

https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivisio...d_confirmed_protection_from_elites_increases/

So if you have 30% protection from elites stacked amongst your gear...you will be taking a feck load of damage!

They really seem to have screwed up a lot of the stats in this game - I wonder how many things like this are happening that people haven't found / been able to test.

Haha no my mate was having connection issues ever since I joined him, we connected to a new server, he was buggy as feck and then I couldn't hear him in the party. He tried leaving and reconnecting a few times but it was still shit so he logged off!

The rogues were sneaky cnuts. Both times they shot me in my back as I was behind you! First time was in the underground part, didn't realise I was taking fire from rogues as we were in a firefight of our own. Got like 3 shots off and I died, then I hear a Yankee child voice "ya I fecked you up", typical.

Second time were the feckers who killed the named guy before us, they ran to the back of the contaminated area and waited for me to go towards extraction point and gunned me down to rob my loot! I had a funny feeling they would do it and all!

Na didn't get much loot wise, attachments and mods. I did get a 182gs handgun that brings my own overall Gs up to 191. but got a nice bit of Xp and Pheonix coins also. Almost 550 I have now with the dailys and weekly missions to come, Might keep building up to get that Aug myself. will have a look in DZ 6 safe house first, don't know if it has reset or not yet.
 
I finally got my 4th Sentry's Call gear piece last night - so now should benefit from the special talent: Stalker: Headshots mark the enemy, increasing the damage inflicted on the target by 15% for duration of 10 seconds each. A target can receive up to three marks.

Sounds good, but have already read that apparently only about 1 in 10 headshots actually seems to result in marking the enemy.

I wonder if this is part of the reason why they haven't made API available. This game (since it is built on stats and numbers) should be able to give you all the info and measures you need. It would be cool after a mission to see your accuracy, your actual DPS for that mission etc.

But despite the game seeming to use all that info to calculate your effectiveness (and ultimately your success), it is all hidden.

I love how GTA managed to track every thing that happens - every shot, every jump, everything - and that game is not inherently built upon or dependent on it's stats. This game is. The goal of the game seems to be to get higher level gear and weapons. But the stats and therefore the effectiveness of these items seems so fecked its ridiculous.

Am curious to see how they respond to this and how soon it is fixed. When the named enemies incorrectly dropped 4 HE items following one patch, they fixed that issue within a couple of hours. Am expecting this one to take a while longer...
 
What skills every 18 year old should have segment on Fox News:



:lol:

Not sure I have ever agreed with Fox News before :)
 
@swooshboy About that elite test.
It could probably be correct, but there are many variables. Headshots, criticals, distance etc. Interesting though

@Mr Anderson I think DZ06 only sells Nomad stuff now..Could be wrong.
Also, I have a few keys, so I can finally start opening some chest in stead of it always being you :lol: We need to kill 10 LMB tonight also!

I have 7 keys somehow again. I'm jammy as feck with them! Ya we will do that in the blink of an eye, just like last night - killed 3 named guys within 7 minutes of the daily update :D
