Unless I just haven't rolled enough vectors to get a decent one, but my Black Market Ak-74 still outdoes it significantly.

I don't think the vector is as great as people think. Drives me mad having to reload so frequently mid gun battle.

The MP5 with extended mag with high fire rate bonus is where its at.

I have a 56mag vector and it definitely has better burst dps than my 60 mag mp5, granted it has better talents.

mossym

how many phoenix credits do the blueprints for the high end guns tend to be?

Canis Lupus

I believe the Vector has best burst DPS, the Aug has best sustained DPS and whilst I don't really understand it I believe the MP5 catches up at high firearms levels. Reloading doesn't annoy me that much.

@mossy I THINK they're around the 150-190 mark. So a few dailies and some DZ farming will get you there eventually (and you'll likely get some reasonable purple drops in the DZ in the meantime that'll bang up your DPS)

200+ generally

Jayop

I've several high end weapons and the vector has the best stopping power so I'll use it on challenging and dz. I use other stuff for hard missions with a bigger clip because I'm lazy.

mossym

bit of work to do so, won't be shopping for any of those for a while!! might see if any of the vendors have something purple with reasonable DPS that will help me mow down some higher end baddies so i can get the phoenix credits

You'll amass the Phoenix credits really quick by doing all the daily missions. The return for killing named bosses is going up too.

56? Is that the yellow mag BP from the vendor in the base? Best I got was 40 but I'll roll more of them if I can get as high as that.

dreamers75

A gold vector with Fierce and Deadly talents is one of the best weapons in the game.

Calvin

My purple AUG and ACR with 130k dps still stomp on my gold Vector which only has about 90-100k dps :pac: is it worth re-rolling to get a better roll?

Decided against taking a day of work for it, and of course the lads start messaging me and instantly regret it haha. On the plus side will probably get carried through it later haha.

Although talk about high drop rates, the lads went through the incursion on hard five times, got all the gear sets complete, and are now going through it on Challenge.

Well that sounds like a load of $hite. It took them a couple of hours to get almost fully geared? Patch done. Next content please?

Calvin

According to Reddit, you can get 4 HE drops from challenging bosses each time...nice.

Some only give you two, I think it depends on what type of items that boss drops.

I did two Hard missions at lunch, got a HE drop on each.

Just downloaded the update my gear score is 154? Don't know if that's good or bad. I suppose post yours as ur get them

Well DZ6 is ranked at 161 so you are a little off. I am at 175 myself.

ZiabR

Does anyone know the locations of the Gear sets? I logged on briefly and saw that the safehouse in DZ6 sells parts of the Nomad set that I can buy right now but it is not the set I want. DZ5 vendor sells none of them so who is selling the other set pieces?

I know the vendor at the home base has alot of pieces but again not them all.

Jayop

Did the download. Just over 3gb.

All set for me tonight. Think I'll be trying the incursion on hard for now

The rest are random drops from Incursions I think. There is none in any of the other DZ vendors anyway.

Edit: Some drop in supply drops too.

Edit: Sorry should have said what it is. Basically a list of where to get all the gear sets from. Which vendor/boss/mission etc.

Nice. How you finding the game post patch? You buy those greens from dz vendor? Dz lvl 40 requirement do you know?

Raging I'm not able to play it at the minute. Watching a stream of Falcon Lost to tide me over.

dreamers75

I like the new cleaner screen for Firearms etc on gear.

You dont have 2 talents unlocked on your weapons? Is that by choice?

Why are you using greens? Surely the perks on HE Armour would be something to improve your character?

Jayop

I just can't wait to get on tonight. Really hoping to knock out a solid three hour session and get big improvements to my stats. I'd say you'll quickly see everyone up to 200k dps and then much more gradual improvements after that. The challenging missions will be a piece of piss with those kind of stats although I'd prefer a little more health.

Dcully

@dreamer no not buy choice,in the second image i have them unlocked for the aug.

@Andrew well considering i got only high end drop of any use in the DZ in the last week and maybe 3-4 useless high end items they had to do something about the drop rates.
I haven't tried any pve content yet so cant comment but overall the game is all the better knowing that farming in the DZ has meaning now.

@emmettkenny those greens are set items, they are not your low quality greens.

Wnet collecting loot last night and then forgot to break it all down and convert to gold before the patch :mad:
