Why are you bringing real world poo poo into a video game though?

Like seriously, I see "angry dude with gun, angry biker dudes with guns, mental sanitation workers with guns and military gun dudes". I don't understand how people can look at everything they touch and go "you know, I wonder what political design this had". Its mindboggling.

i love this game a gently caress ton, but if you stop for one second and think, it's pretty brutal that we're straight up murdering people who are likely in need of help, supplies, food and whatnot--at least in the Rioters' case. The other factions seem like legit organizations, but the Rioters all seem like generic non-white dudes who deserve to die for...reasons...

Not sure what game you are playing but the rioters are kind of more hosed up breaking windows for Nikes.

Including the murder of law enforcement officers via ambushing them, the murder of other civilians in order to take their things, attacking supply convoys full of badly needed food, water, and medicine. You can totally just watch these generic "non-white dudes" attack and murder other civilians if you sit around and observe them, and its readily implied in many of their incidental dialogues uttered while picking through the pockets of a dead person that they are probably very responsible for killing said person.

Yeah, reasons.

'dps' is really dumb for it to be the primary weapon stat distributed because it has so little to do with how much damage the gun will actually do? is anyone else bothered by this?

You can't change a character aside from adding more clothing to them. Your only option seems to be deleting the character and starting over.

Can you give me a 101 on how to evaluate if shoot good? Just try and see or look at other stats like bullet damage or what?

I want to like then. They seem neat but the damage is less than the launched explosive, and the launched explosive us less "avoidable".

With the upgrade that splits them into lots of little ones it is a pretty awesome tool to kick off a fight and stun all the mooks

I just started so I'm trying to not read the whole thread til I get a little sense of where I'm at. Is there any decisions I can't take back that I should avoid making?

Also The Division is cool but now I want someone to make a Global Frequency game where you basically play scenarios like this but also others and have different character classes with different playstyles.

Is there an easier way to deconstruct equipment besides holding L3 on each item (PS4)? Sometimes I see "Deconstruct Junk" but it just deconstructs the item I'm selecting.

Mark it all as junk and then you can bulk deconstruct.

Just make sure you strip your weapons before dismantling them. It will destroy anything attached to the weapon as well.

Yes and after level ~11 or so you will get extra damage to certain weapon classes as a common trait on non-weapon equipment.

Yes, just depends on its rolls. Sometimes you'll get an awesome one like an m60 with a perk that makes it +20% accurate, then you have a 100round headshot machine.
