I run all story missions through matchmaking and hang back and let them come to me if I do side missions solo right now.

That plus I use the turret and drone to force guys to funnel towards me pretty much.

That’s an onslaught if you’re using your LMG with turret and drone

Yup, I can force elite enemies behind cover and keep them suppressed for other guys to smack with grenades and shit.

It’s a solid strategy.

I like high city’s from a far and picking off the stragglers .
So I usually load a rifle, LMG/Shotgun depending on how many missions I’m trying by myself .
That and I have shotgun for my pistol slot cause it does 51k damage lol.
I usually lag behind and try and snipe my spots if I’m in a party
I’m just dying a lot when I solo, so now I’m just trying to level up my gear and weapons .
I’m only like 234 for leveling after 30. So I know I’m still pretty low, the Black Tusks just kick my ass

I wanted to mention that even if you join someone else's match if you clear the mission it clears it for you also. I was playing with a level 26 the other day and he did not know that since he always played solo.

I have more fun with a plus 1 (or 3). I can play more reckless with a team who can revive vs hitting the last check point.

I’m bullet fodder as it is lol. I expect I’m gonna get worked hard before I pick up the gist of it. I’ve only done the story DZ. so not too familiar with it.
What guns do you use?
Right now I stick with my rifle, and either LMG or shotgun.

I was using an Assault rifle at first, but I was burning through ammo and getting waxed. I have found much better success with the marksman rifle/LMG combo as of late. When I want to go hard in the paint, I'll switch out the LMG with a shotgun. My sidearm is a sawed off double barrel or a .357.

 

[squirrelynuts]

I’m getting worked in DZ, I helped two players clear out a land mark and they turned around and killed me lol.
I haven’t found anything yet. I think I’m going to try a different zone for the DZ

Yeah, make sure you go into zones that aren't occupied.

There were only four of us in the one I got ganked in. I lol’d and went about my day . I didn’t even have anything for them to take

I don't even go to the DZ. You're better off doing bounties.

I rarely even do those lol. I usually get killed under two. I gotta up my game style and maneuvering around.

like many PVP modes in PVE dominant grinding games, Dark Zone is for attention deficit Kid Gamers who bore themselves to death

World Tier 2

Acquired last night all 5-6 components for the primary M249 exotic – in one drop. HVT was leader of the c-shaped encampment landmark in DZ South. I'll provide name and nearest CP if anyone is interested. As a rifleman with a bonus AR build I enjoy at times, I would honestly share-drop this for Greg if I could so he could enjoy it. It's straightforwardly awesome but LMGs and I are like orange juice and toothpaste.

If you nab it, this is what's in store for you:

Plague of the Outcasts​

*After hitting the same enemy 20 times, that enemy is inflicted with Plague of the Outcasts.
*Whenever an enemy with Plague of the Outcasts is killed, they leave a toxic cloud for 10 seconds that deals 200% weapon damage per second to anyone inside and inflicts them with Pestilence.

Pestilence​

*This debuff reduces healing received by 50% for 10s.
*Whenever an enemy with Pestilence would be downed, they are instead instantly killed.

Outcast Resilience​

*While holstered, gain 20% bonus armor for 5s whenever you are affected by blind, bleed, or burning.

The armour-on-burning buff alone is Christmassy; guys use incendiaries as much for DMG as they do for forcing reposition. With this mother holstered, nah, ride it out and when thrower gets froggy while ADS, light him up.

Palis, how goes Operation Chatterbox?

It's a parallel warzone where rule-making is more individualistic or then clannish and with that, has a number of levels at play. Your characterisation of player here is shortsighted.

I was able to get to 503 and I don't have much health but hazard protection and damage to elites is pretty high. Got about 226k armor and 1.6k skill power. 48k health lol

Those weapons you gave me the other day during our raid have just been MELTING the tier-1 WT!

It's like cheating.
