So as someone new to the game and just hit 30 last weekend. Is the Kenly College stuff worth doing? Will the item you get from it level up if I purchase WONY? Also the protecting the server thing in the library is hard AF. Is the rest of the stuff that hard too? I did the IED investigation and that was much easier but haven't tried anything else.

Sixto Lezcano posted:Kenley solo is a bit of a slog. IMO it’s best done with one or two friends on voice chat so you can take it in at its pace. I haven't decided on if I want to buy WONY just yet. Also Kenley sounds like a once a year type deal? What about other exotics? Do they scale up?

Is Skill Power still in the game? As a new player that sure is an unfun mechanic. Just an entire inventory full of mods I can't use. How long does it take to get a specific gear set that can actually let you use the mods you want? And does that gimp you for everything else?

Mailer posted:I think a random chaingun mook, on Hard, had me emptying five Ranger-fueled FAMAS clips, two hives, and many seekers into him. Enemies in general felt like Div 2 at launch, before whatever anti-sponge measures were taken in the interrim, when I had no DTE and random gear. It feels like they removed DTE... and just stopped there without further adjustments. I don't even want to think what challenging is like. New to the game, don't have the expansion. I ran out of ammo trying to blow up a chemical tank for Kenley college. Is that how it was before or is this also a new change?

Cyrano4747 posted:Is it the one where you have to throw levers to bring the shield up before you can shoot it? Because if so that might be your problem. I made the lever one with literally < 1s left after I switched to a shotgun, couldn't even get to 50% with a marksman rifle. The other one with two tanks also in the metro ate all rifle ammo the first time. It was pretty doable but tight with the shotty. I'm sitting there pointblank shooting so it was definitely because the tanks had a million hp.

Blind Rasputin posted:Last night I was slightly drunk and up late and started using google maps to run around and see stuff. The NYC map is legit 1:1 when it comes to buildings on streets and what they look like. I only found a few cool places so far, there’s so many! The FBI headquarters up by the circuit courts was next but the servers shut down. As a new player and DC resident, I'm super impressed by the accuracy in this game. On one of the very first missions I was like hey, I was there for dinner last weekend. Yup I drove down this street when I went home. The "Viewpoint Museum" is indeed what the Newseum looks like on the inside, right down to the posters/signs emphasizing how important the news is to democracy. Game is great for just running around recognizing poo poo.

Is there a button that instantly unattaches you from cover? I always get stuck when I'm trying to run away from grenades. Also is gear score gone now? All level 40 items of the same rarity have the same armor/damage and just have differently rolled stats?

I breezed through some hard invasion missions and then hit the bank mission. Holy gently caress that last fight. Mortar flinging robot that takes 2 crossbow hits to kill and 2x tanks + a named sniper to fight at the same time. Tried about a dozen times and just gave up. Is there a good way to kill tanks? I couldn't kill them fast enough before they reached me and there's not anywhere to retreat to.

Are higher difficulty drops strictly better or do you just have a higher % chance to get better rolls? Like you could get a perfectly rolled item on normal and it would be the same stats as a perfectly rolled item on heroic just less likely to happen right?

I did a hard DZ and got two weapons with all 3 rolls either perfect or within 5% of perfect. That seems like the easiest way to get gear vs doing heroic stuff.

The only way I beat Keener was planting a grenade where he jumped down and then unloading my shotgun into his face from 3 feet away. Letting the fight last more than a minute meant I was going to lose.

Shoren posted:Combine Preservation on your gun with Bloodsucker on your backpack and that should be pretty good when solo. Preservation repairs a percentage of armor on kill while Bloodsucker gives bonus armor on kill. Does Bloodsucker count you killing your own stuff too? Whenever I seeker mine I end up with a full blue armor bar even if I don't kill any enemies. Figured maybe the mines blowing up count as kills.

So I found a Pestilence in a DZ, put it on the extraction line at a helicopter and died. Received nothing in the mail. That's cool. Didn't have any notification that I dropped loot or someone stole my loot. Items just disappeared.

I'm a new relatively new player. I have 3 piece Wyvern 3 piece 3 piece Hana U and some random gun with Spike. My turrets and drone murderizes everything on solo heroic. All other stuff I've tried doesn't work nearly as well and requires gear that's much harder to find. I do have a Pestilence and I tried that with the Striker set and it doesn't work nearly as well. Am I missing something or does that about sum up how builds are right now?

Kibayasu posted:It certainly sums up turret/drone builds. They got a huge increase in health against heroic/legendary enemies recently and can survive forever. Just seems like all other builds are not worth the effort for how difficult they are to put together. Like my build works fine with 0 exotics, set, or named pieces.

Is there a way to find builds besides trawling through these God awful YouTube videos? Ironically some of the better websites I've found are those item selling/boosting sites. Also is there a goon clan of anything?

Awesome, thanks! On another note, latest build I'm trying is Hunter's Fury shotgun with Chainkiller + Memento. Sure seems like a feast or famine build. Either I'm one shotting everyone including named elites or I'm spending an entire clip trying to kill a single elite and dying.

You lose out on xp if you disable them. The ones available right now are awful. Are you able to choose which ones to use? Summit has choice of like 9 or something, there's only 5 available for the global map and I hate almost all of them. The manhunt was like all elites with at least 2 healers, 2 rez guys, and 4 robots every fight. It was such a slog. Skill build couldn't kill them fast enough before they reached me. Managed to do it with a tank build but it was a slog.

I do a lot of open world stuff for experience since I'm relatively new to the game. The directives make a big difference. I also can't imagine playing with fog of war since the AI places itself in the stupidest positions. Playing hide and seek to find the last guy for an objective with no indication of where they are sounds like a nightmare. bamhand fucked around with this message at 13:13 on Sep 14, 2022 |

I can't imagine doing open world with fog of war. I just die a lot so the ammo thing doesn't affect me! Or go pistol/skill builds. I generally take Ammo Hoarders, Fragile Armor, Hard to Earn, No Regen, and Ragers as freebies. Then Special Ammo, Scavenged Skills, Pistolero depending on build. Also love how half the directives are bugged. Fragile Armor often doesn't let armor kits remove the debuff. No Regen will randomly turn off your regen from items. And Scavenged Skills will occasionally bug with the Rigger cooldown resets.

It seems like they broke existing chests, not just new drops. That's honestly kind of impressive. I recalibrated mine on the off chance when they fix it they bring back the stat that disappeared (which was previously recalibrated).

Is 15 minute Darpa labs even possible without killing each enemy wave as they spawn? It's 30 seconds just for the helicopter to arrive at the end and the timer doesn't stop. I got 21 minutes with 1 death, which wasted about 2-3 minutes. Was trying to kill the boss quickly but seems like he has a scripted heal and just hides behind cover a whole bunch.

Ugh I don't feel like tryharding that much. Seems like there's plenty of leeway to earn rank 10 without getting the minimum times right? Is the other pentagon mission any easier? Any tips for that one? The EMP room was awful on heroic. Also, what is the best way to disrupt a bunch of enemies?

Ah I didn't even know there were skills with disrupt. I was trying to do it with a Bluescreen. Most of the skills seem either bad or very niche. There's only a core 4 or 5 skills that I use regularly.

Oh, Pentagon on challenging was trivial. I think I finished with 4-5 minutes left. DARPA labs felt near impossible solo. What is this difficulty tuning? Is there a way to change the in game time?
