Gave up on trying to get the Predator holster; too many Foxtrottards who like to huddle up and wiping the runs Did roll a 9k classy d3 build tho.... only cost 25mill too Any striker build advice? Striker should go at 6/6/whatevers left. The heal back from stacks gains effectiveness in blocks of 3K stamina. Some folks run 9K, but then you're limited to GS204 weapons. I think mines at 6.5/6.5/2.9, run weapons that you can reliably land consecutive shots with, roll damage for those on yer gloves. The stability bonus of the set makes Bullfrog viable, if ya got one, I've taken to a twin shotty approach, myself. |

Ok. So I’m at the point when I need division tech above all else. Breaking Down shit gets about 50 every two hours at best, more like 3 hours, just running lex over and over. That’s not enough. I can’t go solo into the dark zone as I assume divtech can be looted? Ideas? Wait for 1.8.1 that will come on April 12th and Div Tech is being made less scarce. Also, if you have the season pass don't bother doing the supply drops yet. |

Not bothered about grinding Ambush since I am missing only a Firecrest holster from the loot on offer so I maxed out on Phoenix Credits and Global Event credits ready for another time. I'm missing two pieces for Lone Star and Final Measure so I'll probably use the Global Event credits on cahces to get those, preferably Final Measure.

Of course, the last cache of all the GEs has another (better) FC bag. The build is crazy fun.

State of The Game Recap - Apr 5 2018 This week's State of The Game focused on new vanity items and community highlights. New vanity items will be available from the new Mark 3 Encrypted Cache  MISC The new patch 1.8.1 is still on track for release on April 12th Over the past 3 months, agents have spent an average of 3 hours per day in NYC Blackout will release shortly after 1.8.1 but no specific date yet The complaints pertaining to Cronus Max were mentioned but no solution has been found yet as it is more of a platform issue than an issue with the game specifically. The faster mover bug is still being investigated |

Built a nice 5k spread alphabridge set with tons of skill haste that lets me pulse like a madman and slap by bouncing balls on several shins at the same time. Still debating my striker setup... I don't wanna screw it up. division-builds.com/build/54-striker-6k-sta is the most popular build on the site... any feedback? The comment section says the #'s are off but no one says it's been fixed or anything like that? |

The comment section says the #'s are off but no one says it's been fixed or anything like that? Why so much skill power on that build I wonder. It’s really all about the stacks I find. Is mine weighted wrongly with 7k+ firearms? Showstopper showstopper showstopper switch house house house. Everything dies. |

The only reason to get to 3832 Ele or above on that build would be to unlock Ferocious. Heals scale in blocks of 3K, so the debate there is 6K or 9K, 9K would force you to use 204 weapons, which I think is Garbology.
Tooros has it right, mine is 6.5/6.5/3, all shotguns, but anything works as long as you can get hits. No need to overthink this one. it's called Striker for a reason.

Slowly edging to 291 on a couple of classes. The daily's are easy to knock out and get a bump/day.
Looking forward to finishing the Striker, Reclaimer and Sentry before trying a new one.
I have to say - sentry is really proving a favourite. Dem Marks.....

Some of the daily assignments are stupid easy and give div tech. Good thing to check every day.
Been running pulse with reclaimer for the chc, really enhances the caduceus.
Rejiggered my nomad to 8/5/3, adding some more lethality.

It's too bad you can't switch loadouts mid game.
Because when I'm a reclaimer PUGGing, so is everyone...
When I'm not, no one else is.

I tried a bunch of times, never allowed me too.
Unless my whole team had to be out of combat? I would stay behind trying to do it and I might have had a teammate lone wolfing it

Blackout+Reclaimer=Easy Mode.
It's really unfair for the NPCs, even on Legendary/Heroic.
They're shocked, you're not, let 'er rip with full auto anything.
The chef recommends seasoning with pulse, if your Reclaimer is right, you'll have 100% uptime.
Blew through Times and Falcon with the quickness, gonna get down with Clear Sky today.
Just noticed the 3000 GE credit caches also give 30 div tech, the stuff is literally falling from the skies.
