Good to know.


The medical link can pick up anyone who drops during the push and heal the ones who haven't dropped. 24 sec of survivor link will at least get you to the turrets to deactivate them.

We did not finish because there were two of us over 175 GS and two around 165. I suggest nothing less than 170 unless your gear is super optimized with a lower GS. These lvl 32 veteran enemies take more damage to kill than lvl 30 elites in the DZ.

In all reality, you need damage, heals, a little CC and patience to complete the thing. I will give it another go tonight now that I know what I am doing and I expect to finish.

They say they did not want crafting to be the main way to gear up, then when the patch drops....crafting is still the main way to gear up. DZ farming is still just for rank and crafting mats.

So, we tried the incursion last night. It went terribly and I'm convinced max armour and health above 80k is a pre-req.

It was just too difficult because 2 guy were downed most the time that didn't have the things above and the 2 that did were having to revive them constantly and then we would get downed trying to revive them. Complete shite show.

Yeah. I don't get it.

We brought someone with a 140 gs through Russian consulate on challenging twice basically, due to a server crash, and it was easier than falcon lost.

Seeker mines


all things considered I still had a lot of fun. minor complaints really. the lack of gs204 weapons from dz 06 is lame. really my only gripe. But I have access to the 204 stuff due to grinding to 75 so im not even that dissapointed

It is useful but not required. Being able to clear the enemies quickly and proper communication is equally important. Same as the rest of the game. Some electronics goes a long way but raw damage output wins the day more often than not.

I think it has to do with the scope of the battle. Even though they are just mostly vet and not elite enemies, they are lvl 32. The pack much more of a punch than your typical purple enemy and there are a LOT of them. 6-8 snipers while drones, grenadiers and the APC / turrets shoot at you is a lot to deal with.

That size and scope of battle means teamwork and the right mix of skills is so much more important than a normal challenge mode mission IMO.

So far the only weapons worth getting are the new SMG named one (can't remember) and the AUG.

The new named AR is only dropped in incursion challenge mode and we all see how tough that is going to be.

ETA: they just made everything more grindy. Top weapons and armor crafting now takes roughly 3-4 times as many creds and as much of an increase in materials to get a roll.

They are trying to slow down progression so people don't quit their game. I am going to actively play with blind faith until the first DLC. If I pay for an update that is essentially the same or maybe a little better than what we just got, I'm out. It is a great game, but if me playing 10-12 hours a week can out pace most of the content, they have a serious problem.

I'm sure you meant the HE m1a and not the valkyria. It is bad.

Well I stand corrected. I heard a guy on twitch saying he liked it a lot.

I'll be grinding my life away in the DZ to get the rank and funds to get the aug first and the M1A second. I have a decent vector (destructive / swift) and AK (crit damage and both the range based damage increases) that will get me through until then.

Yeah the aug is nice. If your sole goal is dz xp then the best way to get it is plus xp gear and stick in dz03 or below and slaughter purples.

The route ppl used to hit 99 in week1 was refuell station to Bryant Park to subway to arch plaza. Call in an extraction at BP to force more shite to spawn.

Never actually extract or pick up gear for max efficiency. (But who does that)

Lately? Me!

Everything I pick up in the DZ is deconstructed anyway, and running without a pack on has minimized rogue encounters. When my group is ready to log off, we'll make a run through and pick up anything we actually want.

Previously, if a gold dropped, we would go extract it immediately with the entire team covering that agent. Now since gold drop all the time, we'll just check it and leave it unless it's an upgrade over current gear.

Thanks. This will help.

I will pick up any weapon or mod that drops for the mats. I'm all but out of all of them

I just finally hit 30. So where do I need to go to get good equipment?

Normal 30? Nothing.

DZ30? Some stuff from DZ vendors.

But you're too late. Anything good is behind a higher DZ ranking, and bosses will drop better equipment than you'll be able to buy at 30. Happy hunting. Welcome to the grind.

DZ 50, 75, & 90 gives you access to the best gold blueprints.

There will also be alot of blueprints for sale in the BOO for phoenix credits.

The best weapon drops will come from upper level DZ enemies, and the best gear and gear sets will come from incursions and some (i think) challenge missions.

At your rank, your options are run Hard Daily activities to accumulate phoenix credits for blueprints, or grind the darkzone for DZ rank and Gold drops.

If you just hit 30, you should run hard modes until you have all purple/yellow gear first. Then matchmake into Lincoln Tunnel challenge mode groups. When you have enough Phoenix Coins, buy either the Vector or MP5 blueprint and craft one (or a few depending on your materials supply and how lucky you get) unless you got a nice primary weapon drop in Lincoln Tunnel.

I would do this before hitting the DZ as a fresh 30.
