Have been waiting for this as I only need a pair of Hunters Faith classified gloves to complete that set, I love sniping, RNG is being a pain though, I have gotten so far this Global Event:

Backpacks x 5
Holsters x 3
Masks & Kneepads x 2
Vests x 1
Gloves x 0

Have a few days to go so fingers crossed I will get them, I look at it this way the longer I go without getting them the more chance I have to get them, forever the optimist.

I love experimenting with different builds, a PVE one I really enjoy is my Badger Tuff build, it's a tanky build with lots of armor regen but still does plenty of damage. No trouble doing Heroic missions solo, the Safety Distance SMG shoots with laser precision. I'm practically un-killable.

Technician Specialization

Chest : Badger Tuff with Perfectly Unbreakable
Mask : System Corruption
BackPack : Memento
Gloves : Badger Tuff
Holster : Badger Tuff
Kneepads : System Corruption

Weapons:
Safety Distance SMG - Perfect Outsider. After killing an enemy, gain 125% optimal range and 125% accuracy for 10 seconds.
The Mop Shotgun
Alernate weapons: Scorpio or Sweet Dreams Shotguns.

1.7m Armor with over 25% (higher when using The Mop) armor on kill, 60% CHC and 121% CHD, Turret and Striker Drone skills.

@noxious81 I have got exotic gear that I never had before, for example the Chatterbox, I got the pieces of the Chatterbox and crafted it, then opened some of the caches I got prior to doing this and got a Chatterbox. I thought you couldn't get the Chatterbox from a cache until you have crafted one already?

I also opened 4 caches in an area where backpacks were targetted loot, got a Memento, 2 x Acosta's and a Liberty pistol. Didn't have a Memento prior to this.

Not saying this works all the time or its not just luck/coincidence but it worked for me.

The players I despise the most are the ones who complain about other players all the time.

@ellac90 I used to find Heroic too hard, but now it's fairly easy for me to complete Heroic missions solo, just depends on your gear and play style. Now I find Legendary way too hard solo but a lot of people do, it's horses for courses, people complained that Heroic was far too easy so the devs created Legendary, some say that's too easy now. You just can't please everyone.

If I had to rate difficulty on a scale of 1 - 10:

Story = 1
Hard = 2
Challenging = 4
Heroic = 8
Legendary = 16

My son gave me a PS4 a while back and I started playing the Division, and now the Division 2, being a fairly average player, and nearly 70yo, I have experimented with different builds. I came up with this one and don't really know how it works so well but I can literally run through Heroic missions with directives so easily with it, it amazes me how well it works. So if you're an average player and can't even manage Heroic missions without dying and having to restart all the time read on. I have tried ND, HF, and many other builds but this one works the best for me.

Mask = Badger Tuff - Blue
Backpack = Memento
Chest = Badger Tuff with Perfectly Unbreakable and changed to Red.
Gloves = Petrov Defense Contractors Gloves with 8% damage to armor
Holster = Badger Tuff - Blue
Kneepads = Prov Defense

Weapon 1 = The Pestilence - 99k dmg, 38% CHC 103% CHD, 110% HS
Weapon 2 = Classic M1A Rifle with In Sync - 417k dmg, 45% CHC, 118% CHD, 105% HS or The Mop with In Sync

Skill 1 = Striker Drone
Skill 2 = Assault Turret

Technician Specialization, 1.3m Armor, 4 Red, 3 Blue, 2 Yellow

Badger Tuff gives 5% Armor and 10% Armor on Kill, Unbreakable restores all Armor once a minute if needed.

I wish it worked like that in PVE, maybe then I could do Legendary solo.

@moesuvious Either that or his "!" key is stuck down.

Since we have had restricted movements from Covid it's been a good way to pass the time IMO.

@neebanator That does seem to work for some reason, I was doing GWH with backpacks as targetted loot, couldn't get anything to drop until I started changing difficulty levels then got a Memento and an Acosta's on the next two tries.

What ever the Star Wars game is like it's being reported that it won't come out till 2025 at the earliest.

The funny thing about Kenly is that I had a few Diamondback's drop in the open world before I even went there. It's pretty easy to complete like you say, especially once you get up in SHD levels.

I made a build with 3 x Badger Tuff, 2 x Belstone Armory, Memento backpack. I made two of the pieces reds and use Technician. So I have 4 blues, 3 reds and 2 yellows. Not a true tank build but with 1.5M armor and 20% of armor on kill, with the Memento trophies healing as well I just roar through Heroic missions.

I just did this mission today for the first time and I destroyed the alarm and called rebels to help, once the firing stopped and everyone was just standing around I then collected the intel on the upper and top floor of the building, then went back to the central point and the mission was successful.

@dutchlmb4ever You forgot those awful mini tanks that get repaired by a controller in hiding if their health goes down, I can shoot the tracks of the elite mini tanks but as I do they rush and I mean rush, it's like they're jet propelled, back to the controller to be healed.

How about they make a new mode with a huge hole they could call it The Abyss, and you're going down levels, say 100, and you have to race to the bottom as fast as you can with teams of players, once you get to the bottom you fire a flare and a helicopter comes and takes you back to the top. It's Abysmal gameplay as we have come to expect.

Why, why, why? Do I have to login practically every time and get logged out often, sometimes a few times a day, even though that little box that says "Remember Me" is always ticked? It's a darn nuisance, it only happens on this site and none of the others I frequent.


Update:

Is no one watching this thread? It's just typical IMO.

@apexxxero I agree entirely with you, if someone in the game finds a way to kill that's different from the norm, there is an outcry to get that either removed of nerfed. How about they find away to negate that thing or style of play, it's all about being flexible IMO.

I've picked up a few that came with the Ranger talent.

Ranger = Amplifies weapon damage by 2% for every 5 meters you are away from your target.

I don't play shooters to sit back and watch other things kill stuff - I might as well be watching someone else play.

@latenitedelight That's why I like playing solo.
