Blueprints are fine the problem comes when you need division tech to create anything from those blueprints you buy in the DZ. Once you hit 50 all you do is run around looking for Div Tech and hope you get a yellow because the greens and blues might as well be garbage as they are all but useless. You can't even combine blues to make yellows like you can with weapons parts ect..

So you're running around looking for the boxes that have DT, they respawn every 2 hours. If you're lucky enough to find one that hasn't been looted then you're hoping that you luck out and get a yellow. Once you get three of those elusive fuckers you can craft one piece of armor or one weapon, you rolled bad? Oh shit better luck next time. I spent 3 hours running around and didn't get 1 yellow Div Tech, other days I might get 2 or 3 in an hour it's just so fucking random.

It ain't all sunshine and roses once you get leveled up, if anything it makes you think they put zero thought into what happens once you hit 50. Regular credits I have millions I'll never need another credit as long as I play. DZ credits, again hundreds of thousands with most blueprints already bought and even Phoenix Credits aren't that bad to get but Yellow Division Tech FML.

The only thing left to do in this game is run around and loot DT boxes in the DZ, was hoping for something a little more.

Have you guys gotten 8 people in the same mission?

I heard you can get up to 20. I got into my first 8 man mission on hard and it was epic.

not sure exactly how, but the way I did it was by kicking people who were joining my game for the mission and then other people joining. I presume they were still on the loading screen into my game when they got kicked thats why their still in the same server/mission

[k2_alpha]

Did the Consulate farm earlier and got a high end M1A drop. Doesn't have the accuracy talent though. Super fun and deadly to use.

[Kaolinite]

add me on uplay! Kaolin1te

[Ronin]

I was farming tunnel and got a HE 31 MP5 Navy. It's a BEAST...with a 100% mag and 30% ROF, it just tears shit up. ROF is as high as the Vector but with twice the mag size.

[Vansterdam]

man 75+ hours into this game and the only 2 high end weapon drops I gotten are from the bulletking. which is the same cadacedus weapon

I also have scavenging up to like 140% too this is bullshit lol

I got like 30 high end division tech pieces though. currently at level 43 DZ just need to hit 50 then Il get some decent gear


all i want is a high end sniper lol.

I haven't played a ton over the last few days but probably 5 hours running around in the DZ running crate to crate looking for DT and not 1 piece of yellow division tech.

On a plus we did kill a shit load of Rogues yesterday, never seen that many not even in Beta. There was a group of 4 we killed multiple times and 6 on top of the rooftop extraction. My buddy does most the work his gear is so much better then mine. They can be sitting on a rooftop waiting for us to come up a rope and fucks could be given, just pop that T at the top and watch them fall. I'm surprised how many people don't use the Armor ability in PVP, it's the difference between winning and losing.

[Ronin]

I got two different MP5s yesterday (kept the one with accurate and 3 HE sidearms along with a bunch of random junk HEs. Probably about 20% of the time the pile would have a HE.

Armor ability? You mean the ballistic shield? I used it in the DZ once and I got taken down in 3 seconds from frontal fire, I wasn't even flanked.

Past few days I've been having fun running the M60 machine gun. Not as effective as my other guns and I can't beat rogues with it, but I could use what's effective or use what's fun, I choose the latter.

[Vansterdam]

you also get Division tech from killing enemies btw i noticed you get alot more in DZ 05-06


also with the ballistic shield, you can get 1 guy to equipped it while the other 4 use smart cover and activate it on the shield its pretty OP

Signature skill: Survivor Link maybe armor upgrade was the wrong term but it decreases incoming damage and if you combine that with pulse for extra damage and it works pretty well for us. We time it so one of us will use it first once it runs out the other guy will use it, you don't take much damage when it's active. As far as weapons, the Vector is still pretty broken especially close range which most Rogue fights I've been in happen. Typically I won't even engage in PVP if my Survivor Link is down unless I have no choice. If you use it and the other guy does not I'd be shocked if you lost the fight regardless of gear on either side.

Last night I was bored and planning to log off, so I tried the wall glitch to wrap around DZ6.

Turns out there are 2 Division tech crates up there, and it appears not many people go up there. Got 3 HE division tech just for popping through the wall lol. (one crate dropped 2 yellows)

Ended up playing a bit with Faptron... not sure what is RS name is.

Problem for me right now is I think I'm only DZ rank 30. Taking me so long to level up.

As for regular HE drops, I have gotten quite a few so far. Mostly weapon and gear mods. A few weapons, but nothing very good. Most of the purples I use are better :<

[Vansterdam]

soo after spending 3 hours doing the Russian Consulate glitch I got about 7 new high end weapons with 5 or so being duplicates. a big WTF since it took me about 80 hours into this game before I got another high end weapon drop asides from the cadacedus, which I obtained from doing the bulletking glitch farm from before. this game loot system is so broken lol.

I heard the best weapon you can get from that farm is the socom/first wave M1 the sniper rifle.

with the Russian Consulate farm the best method I found is to shoot the wall beside the fence on the outside to the left, above the sandbags until it leaves a giant open hole. now if you all crouch where that green sandbags are when the boss respawns, he will stay in one spot. it takes about 5-10 mins to shoot a giant hole through the wall and you might need to shoot it from both sides to open it up.

also, whoever is the runner for the respawn. its alot quicker to run outside to activate the boss and then fast travel to one of your teammates rather then run outside and back to them and risk being killed.

I also found a method where you can crouch/jump through the fence instead of using the extended shield on both sides. what you do is from the outside, crouch where the green beanbag is you use for cover and as soon you kinda turn to move to the other side of the bag for cover hit the jump button and you should be able to jump through the fence. same method for when your inside, trying to leave. hit the wall thats on the left and as your turning to move into cover jump and you should be outside

the vector is pretty much the best PVP weapon if you can get all the critical/increase damage rolls on it. I tried crafting 10 of them and couldent get one with the same stats as my buddy so i gave up lol

[Ronin]

MP5 and AUG are better than the Vector if you can get one. The Vector has such a small ammo cap. I got 60 in my MP5 mag.

totally forgot the aug is the best if you can find/buy it. heard their gonna nerf it though

vector is good for a blueprint you can buy while your under DZ 50 with phoenix coins

[PuYang]

Just joined matchmaking into the Lincoln Tunnel Challenging mode, and it was one of those 20+ people games lol, it was quite fun, they reset the mission 3 times before I left.

I just ran around picking up items and shooting enemies with my sidearm (So I don't have to crowd with 20 people around the ammo boxes). The mission took like 10 minutes to beat with all those people lol

Got a few highend stuff, but scrapped most of it.

I then crafted an Blackmarket AK, got Crit rate and Crit damage talents! Unfortunately, didn't get stability as the third talent. Boosted my dps by 20k over Caduceus!

[quasi]

^

That's the thing with the Vector, you can keep crafting them over and over they cost you nothing but some material that's easy to get. All my gear is HE, I have 6 HE guns as well, none of the ones I have are as effective as the Vector but I wouldn't mind a HE MP5 like Ronin has because the clip size on the Vector can be annoying.

[Ronin]

I made probably 10-15 Vectors. Best roll was damage to armor and damage to elites.

I tried it out on the targeting dummy...45k headshot critical. I know it could be more but my rate of fire is 950 or so and with a mag of 60, it just eats everything in front of it. Would've been nice to get Fierce and Deadly or whatever but Accurate isn't too bad. I just hold down the trigger and all the bullets fly into people's faces.

I'm Faptron lol

[Vansterdam]

finally hit level 50 DZ after grinding it out for 11 hours from level 43-50 lol

what should I buy from the DZ vendors?

got the mp5+sawed off blueprints. was debating between buying the mp5 blueprint or just the gun from DZ06 since the weapon does more dmg, but has a smaller mag size compared to the blueprint one.

mp5 may have more rounds (65) but my vector still does more dmg (40 rounds) compared to both versions. was gonna grab the custom m44 blueprint too, but the one I found earlier today also does more dmg with just less rounds. I really want that first wave/socom M1 though heard its beast.

hard choices lol. trying to figure out what gear I wanna get too. hard to balance em out but I noticed the gear you find randomly is sometimes better then anything you can craft/buy


Midas was also pretty OP until they nerfed it. still trying to score one of those

[Vansterdam]

server maintenance tonight at 12am. new supply drops in DZ and more daily missions+weekly
also loot trading

thinking they prob patch the russian consulate tonight too

[Ronin]

Loot trading, etc isn't here until April 12.

The patch tonight corrects consulate and tunnel farming as well as >4 people in missions.
