Oh yeah I used a Showstopper I've had for ages and it's really good with classified Striker. Might be able to get the 10,000 shotgun kills patch sooner than previously expected. Got the Thompson earlier too.

The 'Stopper is a great way to build stacks...be sure to add stability, not accuracy, via mods.
I run it and a House (both rolled Responsive/Predatory) on my god-mode Nomad set.

RNG is a fickle mistress
5 packages, 5 exotics, 5 duplicate classys. Lots of bad, slow runs almost ...sigh... almost one wipe on Barrett.
It was 1:30/2 am and I was pissed. Wanted to give up, did one more run with 3 guys running. Nomad that slaughtered everything in sight. It was glorious... textbook runs bordering on perfect godmode. And when things did get troubling, a resgun saved the day.
Spent an hour with them and got 4 more packages: 2 showstoppers, 1 House, 1 Big Allie, and the 2 reclaimer classy pieces I needed.
Boo. Fucking. Yah Motherfuckers. A bit of rerolling later, it’s 3.8/3/9.
I might even have a full senty (dunno though)

Awesome
I need to up my skills a little on mine. I can do it easily but not sure what weapon talents I can make use of with lower tier unlocks. I need the 3.8 pretty much minimum on all three.
I need strikers holster for a full set.
Missing 2 sentry bits.

Ran a few hours, opened 4 caches, couldn't complete any sets, said f$$k it and ground up 10k for next week.
Anywho.... got a highlight of my PUGing career so far, partially my fault... partially his:
- running with the same pug for 3 go's
- One douchie tank guy with his mic on and we're hearing everything
- We start, but I'm the only one who goes as the other 3 are in menu
- I fail to notice this, throw my lunchbox and start the party
- I realize I'm the only one shooting and die 4 on 1
- another guy from the PUG takes off, another comes to help, he dies too because he runs right to me to res me instead of killing the enemies that are ignoring him... gah
- Finally douchebag shows up and kills them
- Guy starts trashing us on voice, doing the point and laugh emote... I'm still on mute.
- eventually, he resses us, claiming us "little bitch baby reclaimer bitches" suck
- we 3 man up until the basement.... and lo and behold, Douche dies
- My lunch box starts to res him.... I blow it up
- "WHAT THE FUCK MAN??!?!?!??!"
- I give him the ol' HawkNY 99% res
- Stop, and start doing jumping jacks
- Other pug guy joins me in doing jumping jacks
- Douche is screaming into his mic to res him... he dies out
- wave emote
- vote to kick, ciao bye bye
- two new guys show up, and they are very pleasant individuals whom I enjoyed doing 5 more runs with. One of them actually got his first House from Larae
- Well.... wasn't this some shit.......

I managed to get the classified Sentry harness so my set is complete. Yeah, finished mine, as well. The Deadeye stuff went into the stash. Police Mk17 and M700 Carbon @ 8K FA, I actually enjoy the sharpshooter role, now. |

No complete sets? Brutal. I'll double check, but afair, the only sentry or striker chest pieces I got last night weren't classy. Lots of dupe classy's tho.... for the whole event, I probably got at least 10 reclaimer gloves.... but only 1 holster and body So... many... dupes....... That's one thing the game should be able to do... allow you to take 3 dupe pieces and make them classy, with a wad of div tech and some PCredits.... |

Well, now you can try for Nomad this week. Remember to start farming Resistance waves for classy pieces.

If matchmaking is proving to be annoying there's always the Discord channel to use. I see a fair amount of people posting just to farm GE credits on the Xbox LFG channel, so it should be as active for the PSN side. I wonder if so many players think they can be a numb skill on the mics because they're host so they can't be kicked? Funny thing is, they can. It would explain why a fair amount of players decline the game's invite when matchamking is used for Lex, trying to be host.

I set my group to "open" and have zero issues getting people in during GEs...or really any other time, even Heroics and Legendaries.
Idiocy on mic, though, that's real common. Breath too loud, you're muted. I miss being able to boot people as leader, sometimes the one person you need for the vote to pass is oblivious to the AFKer.

Very roughly. Striker classified? 5k 6k 3k? House and Showstopper? Sounds good, the real health regen kicks in @ 6K Stam, put the rest in FA. I run 6.5/6.5/3. You are looking to build stacks, so really anything that you can reliably get consecutive hits with works. The 'Stopper is a good choice, House too if you can keep the recoil down. Tactical and Black Market Sausages work well, you can also take advantage of Strikers' stability and run Bullfrog. With minimal specced into Electronics, a blow and go support station and defib are good choices or pulse. Even flashbang sticky, but I'd stick with the others. |

What would go well with a striker 4 piece? Tactician to get some of skill power for heals but without sacrificing firearms or stamina)

Tactician to get some of skill power for heals but without sacrificing firearms or stamina) Your gains for heals would be minimal with such low Electronics, I would go Sentry if possible. Depending on which pieces you have, some high end stuff, like Vigorous chest or Savage gloves. Or even LS for the ammmo. Not sure what you have on hand though... |

I think I have a 4 or 5 of Striker and Sentry, so I could mix and match.
Basically, set up for 4 striker, 2 sentry and try to hit the 6.5,6.5 blend like you suggested?

You probably have spent those credits but I would weigh up the odds of a full Nomad set with what the other sets are on offer this week. This week has four sets rather than three so you have a more diluted pool, but Nomad appears to be beneficial more as Striker's benefits are more sitautional. I was frequently losing stacks running Lex with Striker. I thought keeping red on my radar would keep the stacks from diminishing but it doesn't. |

Both are great, Nomad is better; specced out, it is almost God-Mode. Great for soloing most anything, really shines in the DZ. If you are close on Striker, I might just go that way, bird in the hand and all that. |

Finally cleared Stolen Signal on Heroic, the last checkmark I needed for PVE. A real test for your group and gear, Shield builds, Final Measure, Reclaimer all needed at certain points.

Oh classy Striker on Assault for Stolen Signal should make that incursion far easier than when I tried it when it was first released, if only for that annoying blue room.

Actually, hold onto the nomad dupes till the event is over. Then roll/opti the ones that benefit your final build the best. |
