Being even slightly underleveled for main missions can be painful. Yup.... and don't get me started on entering areas that are 17-19 and you're 13 lol FYI, you need to promote me to a higher rank in the clan to offer clan invites; I had 3 ready to go but then I couldn't invite them. That NATAS guy we played with a night or two ago (dude with the yapping dog and spanish fam in the background... when we all crashed at once doing the side mission) said he would join after getting the silver reward from his current clan

The position doesn't offer benefits or a higher wage, unfortunately.

Some QoL things I've found on reddit that I thought I would share.... Hello agents, Some of you might know, but for those who don’t I just noticed a cool helpful feature. We all know about those times you farm a hard control point and die and by the time you get back the friendlies have won and you get no rewards. Well I just noticed you can fast travel right back into the fight by using the green allies gun on the map! Anyways sorry if this has been said just figured I would help those who didn’t know as I didn’t know until today hahaHow to take out all 12 Hunters: https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/comments/b3u2ji/a_step_by_step_guide_on_how_to_obtain_all_12/ Map of all the dye crates: imgur.com/a/yXwwmIoKeychains for your backpack locations: https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/comments/b0xiyf/keychains_and_locations/ Finally: faction farmkeys imgur.com/a/66PtewO

"But Polo.... what gear do I use with what? I want some sort of synergy." I got you fam.... I got you shd.technology/brandset-builder/FYI: for right now, as a jack of all, master of none.... I very much recommend the synergy between D&H and Providence... can get 3 in both... 5% accuracy, 10% CD, 7% CC, 10% SP, 8% health, 5% weapon damage PRovidence chest, BP, gloves....

This will make those True Sons buggers easier:
If you shoot the red ammo box on the side (only takes a few shots), it'll blow out the turret's ammo supply and make it defunct. Now you can engage the enemy more freely. It also has the side effect of not letting the mechanics spawn more turrets
I never put 2 and 2 together on this one.... I remember shooting the box and it stopping... but I continued to destroy it. Now I'll leave them until the end to deal with

Hit 425 before the patch, Tidal Basin ready. HELP A BAGGER OUT FFS! Here I am grinding out on WT2 with nimrods who sit back and hardscope the whole time, getting their nuts flanked in like it's going out of style.... And you're already WT5 and all ready to go and $hit..... pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

The subreddit is a complete dumpster fire. I can't wait for the morons to drop the game.

The subreddit is a complete dumpster fire. I can't wait for the wacky guys to drop the game. Meh..... it's no worse than Destiny's ever was. The honeymoon period is over and the lube is starting to wear thin so friction and chafing is building. As for me, I kicked, screamed, and scratched my way to 422. Getting pretty good at manipulating the enemy AI to let them do the heavy lifting for me on control points on V1. I'll try to get up there to 45+ sooner than later. But some help on the CP's would be very much appreciated.

WT5 has been out for 4 days, why aren't I an omnipotent God yet, Massive? These enemies are SO hard, why don't they stand still? I don't have any 6 piece sets, but I just know they suck.

Cleared it at WT4, gotta run it at WT5 today or tonight. It's fun on Story, challenging on Hard, probably nuts on Challenging, God only knows on Heroic. Did Capitol on Challenging yesterday with randos, took about an hour.

Stupid question.... but if I'm running regular stuff and CP's and getting higher gear... what's the incentive to run things on challenging or heroic?
Or do you need to do higher level stuff to get 500 gear?
Exotics?

Or do you need to do higher level stuff to get 500 gear? Exotics? More XP, target intel,more drops, more geatset chances, etc. Not necessary, but what you want to be doing,long term. Ran Tidal Basin on Hard yesterday, almost 2 hours. Boss stage gets ridiculous.

You get gear drops very frequently, including High-End and Gear Set tier stuff. The grind for such stuff isn't grueling and you'll generally be getting something better to equip every hour or so. Each type of armor is organized in their own submenus. They are sorted by level/Gear Score, making it easy to sell off all of the weaker stuff in rapid succession. Management is easy and quick. Primary weapon drops are common, but getting the kind of weapon you want may take a while. Frustrating, sidearm drops are extremely uncommon and some types of sidearms are absurdly rare. Doing literally anything will dump a ton of items rivaling what you have equipped.
Unlike the first game where you'd be swimming in mods and attachments as their own items, the weapon attachments in this game are fixed modifiers that you unlock and can attach to everything, no clutter. Similarly, the gear and gadget mods are infrequently dropped, but armor overall has few mod slots so there won't be much hassle over sorting through them. You got a crafting bench to make virtually anything up to almost the highest rank. If you really need a better specific type of gear, you can roll one up there and hope to get something with good stats (resources have an annoyingly low material capacity, so you can only craft a couple things until you're completely out).

What Den said....
This is what I did...
Basically: for 80% of the game, level 1 to 30, then World tier 1 through 4, just equip gear with the highest gear score and get as close to the 480's as you can. Experiment with gearsets and which ones you like, experiment with what guns you like... experiment with what skills you like...
The remaining 20% is polish and all about getting in the 500/505ish range. Eventually, you're going to notice that you'll play for 3 hours, get showered in loot but none of it is "good" This is where the recalibration bench comes into play. So, you might have a vest that is great, but you don't like a perk (say, crit damage is 2) .. but another chest piece that is all garbage except it has crit damage 5... swap the crit damage amounts and you're good to go. It has to be similar items tho (can't take a perk from a LMG and put it on a AR) Now, it's not like TD1 where you can sit there for hours and reroll; you need to spend materials that are all RNG and have a low cap so people don't have hundreds of thousands and can sit there for days rerolling.
I'm having fun, and on PS4, you can play as solo or matchmake or whatever you want and you'll get the job done.

Sorry I haven't played with you much bradman... it seems that every time I try to, you're in a full group. Hope to hook up with you sooner or later. Do you play with anyone else from the clan? Haven't seen anyone on in quite a while? I've tried to recruit but it seems that more people are trying to recruit me than want to join lol... people must be loading up for the raid launch

Nope, randos only for me. Hard to do stuff late on "school nights", maybe on weekends.

Well, anytime I'm on, lemme know and I'll drop group to do it with you bud.
We should also consider that if we want to do the raid, that maybe the Baggers are drained? It's really me, you, and... gould20? on. No clue what happened to Smooth or Natas
