I've a lot of fun using this build this past week:


4 pieces Negociator's Dilemma
2 pieces Providence Defense

Weapon : Capacitor

57% Critical Hit Chance
198,8% Critical Hit Damage

Talents : Spark + Vigilance

Rather than follow the normal meta builds, I kinda pieced this one together on my own, thinking about my particular play style.

All three green pieces are HF, rolled for max 170k armor and max 12% CHD for the attribute. All gear mods are CHD mods between 11-12% or the one CHC at 6% in the chest.

You can see the chest, backpack and holster stats below, and my build stats at bottom. With the Cold Relations I am running almost 54% CHC and 148% CHD, and with the Scorpio 43% and 138%, respectively.

All pieces (including weapons) are fully optimized with the sole exception of the backpack, which is a recent addition (and I ran out of optimization mats). Once it's done I'll have another 1.4% CHC on all weapons and 2M armor.

I am not certain about the Opportunistic talent. It works on shotgun-only kills but the 5 seconds is nearly half over by the time I swap to another weapon. Still, it slays for up-close kills.

I also have fully optimized Lady Death and The Mop to swap out on the two primary weapons. I go back and forth trying to decide which I like better.

Oh, skills are Defender drone and shield, of course. With 0 skill tier both are incredibly weak though...

I know all you regulars are probably playing on Heroic, but until lately, I’ve been playing on Hard. My only real reason was to keep the sponge level as low as possible. A red Glass Cannon build on Hard offers as close to a realistic shooter experience as possible.

But, In the interest of getting blueprints I’ve been doing all control points at level 3.

Recently, I’ve tried playing on world difficulty set to Challenging. Here’s what I’ve noticed…

I’m torn on whether to continue on Challenging and try to overlook the added sponge, but then I ask myself… why bother? Just go back to Hard and be happy! 🙂 But then that’s not really pushing me to get better, it’s actually creating tactical bad habits (operating out of cover more often).

Any suggestions? Anything I’m overlooking in changing difficulty?

I did a callout for a group that did this. It was fine until we went over the fence. We could have handled the Tusk but the 2 quadcopters were too much. Has anyone finished this in a group. I would like to know how you did it. I don't know how you could now the cheese has been patched out. Worst mission yet.

I am an avid user of the oxidizer chem launcher so this is a real problem for me. accidentally killing my self with my own skills is just the worst. And it's not even consistent, you can stand in front of your turret no problem and friendlies are completely unaffected. I shouldn't be able to melt myself faster than i can melt a normal red enemy on heroic. It does nothing but hurt the experience and makes the player not want to use certain skills in fear of accidentally killing them self.

I say only in PVE because spamming oxi in PVP would be kinda nuts.

 In Division 1 we had to ability to utilize this perk with the "Pulse", now I actually like that this is a perk from hq but it does need a buff, this is my suggestion.

Combine level one and two into a single level, this would be the first perk you open.
level 2 will then add another 20m to the detection range making it 40m and 20 more minutes to the duration for a 30 minute duration, this would make it much more useful for roaming in open.
 Add another change to both levels.
 donating to any of the supply officers will refresh the timer.
 Any time an instance (mission, bounty area's and such). the duration timer will pause making it active the entire mission, once out side the area it will resume.

When playing coop, we are currently all carrying a revive hive as we level up and my buds get use to the game.

Sometimes, someone will go down and get revived by their hive. Good times.

Sometimes they are killed and need to respawn. What’s the difference here? is there an injured state and a dead state? How do you get injured vs killed? Or more importantly how do you avoid getting killed and get injured instead?

Another odd situation… my friend went down, his revive give was out of charges I think, or failed to work… we’re not sure. So I threw my hive over to where he was. That didn’t revive him even though I don’t think I had used it. I had to go over to him and revive him. Does that make any sense? What happened there?

Thanks.

I’m currently collecting all the hunter masks which has got me wondering… how did the first players discover these hunters? And how to trigger them?

I mean, now, it’s all in a 10min YouTube video, but I imagine early players had nothing to go on… are there clues to the hunter locations and how to trigger them in the game?

I’m guessing that would have been a fascinating, tedious, but rewarding thing to focus on in the early days.

Killed this one several times, but never registers. Is this a Bug or am i missing something, i take his Armour of.

As old forums might be nuked might as well remake few of my old gear set suggestions that were a bit more serious. So here's my healer/debuff hybrid gear set suggestion.

Biohazard Control gear set: Yellow main core
2 piece bonus: +3 granades/ 25% hazard protection
3 piece bonus: 20% status effect/ 20% skill repair (or whatever is the one that increases the amount that your character heals others)

4 piece bonus: Your granades are now replaced with Biohazard granades that will refill in 30s and get a 10% cooldown reduction per Yellow core. Biohazard granades will release a mid duration gas (think incendiary granade range and duration) that will deal constant corrosive damage against enemies that scales with status effect (raw damage like oxidizer) and heal your allies (that will scale with skill repair).

Chestpiece: You can now cook the granade to increase the range by an small amount and activate on impact, fully cooked the granade will now have an initial blast that deal an small amount of damage but also cause confuse and poison status effect on enemies
Backpack: The effect of the granades are increased the longer the gas has been deployed.

Really simple idea that you have an granade that will serve as both damage source and healing method, so i think this gives players a bit more customization with their loudout since they could fully focus on damage and use the granade on top of other status effect skills or turret + granade combo to force enemy out of cover an be taking constant damage, go full healer and use granades mixed with different healing skills so they can have healing skills aimed at individual players and the revive hive since the granade would work as the AOE heal, they could even go hybrid and use healing skills with granade to be offensive or the reverse of offensive skills and granade as backup heals.

Hi, so lately I have dig up the forums and the game to see if there is upcoming new content but nothing came up. and I stumbled upon this video -

But, I cannot access this icon in any way whatsoever, to either see what it means or make it go away. I would like to answer calls for help, but it seems something has changed. Can anyone shed some light on this?

i was playing a game yesterday with 3 online friends and right at the end online services disconnected. i managed to get back in and it showed i completed the capitol mission on legendary and then today it says i haven't. all rewards lost as well. any help would be appreciated.

I have so much gear and weapon crafting materials that I'm nearly always maxed out to the point where all the crafting material crates I've gathered through season loot tracks are sitting in my inventory un-opened.

I don't craft anything. But then I don't really have any blueprints to craft things that would help me. I use a couple of exotics, several named items, and the Negotiator Dilemma gear set. I've done a bit of farming for better ND gear rolls and recalibrating what I have. The only weapon I'm using that I could craft, is the police M4, but I already have the talent I want and some decent rolls on it (weapon damage is max at +15).

What should I be crafting, if anything?

I notice I could buy blue-prints for the exotics that I have (Coyote mask, Scorpio Shotgun)... should I be crafting those to see if I can get better rolls? But my Scorpio is almost god-rolled already I think.

What I really need, are optimization resources. I'm constantly in short supply of Faction based optimization resources. What should I be doing to get more of that?

Did they nerf the 4-pc Hack Step Protocol set bonus for this gear set?

It's been a while since I used it so not sure if I am remembering correctly, but now the entire bonus buff lasts less than 5 seconds. Hardly even worth the effort considering a 15-sec cool-down.

I have know that the last Unknown Echo on the Camp White Oak place. on the Faye Lau killed President Andrew Ellis's house.
I don't know what happened, 2 seasons have passed . That bug still not fixed……

And how the season 2 replay it? It's skip to the Season 3 on the Season 6……We want to collect the voice.
