Nothing beats not having to grind for it and 260k dz credit for a blueprint that you can't roll like there's no tomorrow. I'm good with the drop.
By saturday morning you will know what the new blueprint gonna be so finger cross I'll get to hit DZ 75 by then....currently 64 but really caught up with incursion loot chase. Able to farm 50-60k xp from dz 01 to 04 on solo in an hour or so. I don't care much about the loot just hunting mobs and rarely do I extract unless for the gear I really want. DZ 05/06 only when I have a posse to run around with but you stood to lose more xp with dying here or there to rogues or mob especially now they bump up the Lvl32 enemies DMG output.

Tactical Aug 3 (the 204 version) with Striker gear's talent enabled it's insane. Warrengate's enemies shred like thin paper, a single magazine clip can finish off a big guy. Granted I have DMG buffs from double tactical scanner and booster heal. Pro tip do double pulse to get 100% crits on your smg. During the last boss, when I was rushing him my mate pop a tactical link...down goes the Riker boss with full armor and health in seconds.
The Aug DMG output per bullet still below Vector but the magazine size makes all the difference. With Vector usually 1 clip to destroy armor and another to finish the job when facing tough elites. Aug 3 does it in one clip. MP5 DMG per bullet still way too low. That's just me.
Now I hope the DZ vendor can put up MP7 blueprint to give players more variety to choose from.

The vigorous talent on chest piece is amazing if you are a fan of booster shot as mentioned in the video.

He got it from DZ named elite. With DZ resetting blueprints every week, was hoping they will put it in the inventory.

Double post.

It's every saturday 8am our time. Safe house DZ vendors and BoO PxC vendor will reset their stocks.
To those who wanted to keep tabs on what is coming next in Division from the horse's mouth....watch Division official stream during server down. They usually drop vital new info.

They change the teal green gear drop from challenging bosses-
Striker's knee & gloves - Lexington & Lincoln
Tactician's knee & gloves - Warrengate
Sentry's knee & gloves - Russian Consulate
Nomad still exclusive to DZ.

Was not aware the next incursion requires GS220. Guess that will be a serious detrimental design mechanic for casual players. Worst of all is that you can boost up to that score with crappy 240 gear and swap to lower score during in mission, so another exploit to milk and redundant to hit that benchmark cause GS240 gear from weekly incursion reward may not roll with the stats you want and not exactly the class you want or even worst a duplicate. Now I anticipate the pitchfork mob from reddit will cause shitstorm of kneejerk reaction.

They can either drop 191 or 214 but so far no luck on my end. Everyday I did 4 to 5 times Lexington for PxC and the chance of seeing the teal green light.

Found a neat trick to max out your ammo count. Bring along police backpack with you. Each time you restock your ammo, switch to the police backpack and after that revert back to your usual backpack. This is one of the little trick some players use when doing the incursion challenging. Gonna do this when I'm doing solo in DZ cause the vest I'm using has max increase xp but no increase ammo.

When it rains it pours....got 2 HE Socom M1A from DZ. 1 from named boss and another from DZ key chest. Luckily one comes with good talents.

The difference between First Wave and Socom is the latter takes small underbarrel mod. Other than that, not much!
Data miner found Anniversary M1A might be up in coming stock reset at BoO. How true is anyone's guess???

Again when it rains it pours....Hornet drop me another Socom M1A while doing the daily mission and as I'm about to hit DZ 72, the named elite dropped me Classic M1A. Game sent me to see Delta, when rebooted the game, rogues grieving players at safehouse!!!:D

Was trying out incursion solo on hard mode, the farthest I got to is wave 7. Once your medkit running low it's really hard to move on to the next wave. Guess need to roll some striker/sentry with heavier emphasis on electronic and for good measure will exploit the paramedic bag as well.

Quite pissed off now, BoO sells Level 204 HE Socom M1A for 860 PxC. The talents on the gun is garbage. If you want to sell for that price do give some useful talent. DZ03 on the other hand selling Tactical ACR for 300k DZ fund and some shotgun if that's your jam. Getting DZ funds can be a problem now with all this sky-high BPs price. Unless you are that super agent who does not die hunting rogues or outlasting rogue status. Let's don't start with the cowardly wall breach at safe houses or other DZ area.

Should consider the Aug3 more than M1A. It's an upgrade from Vector or Midas.

Even with the current "special" way, you still need to be good coz when you run out to retrieve the explosive...you have to either wall breach back to safety quickly or one person to revive you behind safety when you died going back to the safety point. Pray your mate out there able to kill the npcs fast enough to buy you time to run back and forth. Hard mode easier to pull off while challenging just forget about it.

Hiding behind the wall at the npc does not work coz the npc's nades and shotgun still can get you. Glitching into APC also does not work cause you won't know where the enemy coming at you. You can only avoid frontal dmg but not the rear or sides.

Someone able to use Tactician's talent effectively to boost 100k to 300k dps. Mobile cover with pulse mod and smart cover recharger or first aid booster shot. 2 out of the 3 combination. As long as you/team mate able to do minimum 60k dmg per second your skill's effectiveness just increase...kinda like striker set. M1A and SMG work best.

Right now if you see a rogue who has a mobile cover activated around him...avoid at all cost. Worse of all he can even put up the mobile cover far away from him. There's another glitch where it can stack perpetual dmg resistant and increase dmg.

Infinite ammo exploit just got out today.

Gonna stop playing right now cause the glitches are getting out of hand. Even they manage to fix the glitches...the game has serious balancing issues cause post dz 75, your option to earn dz funds quickly is by hunting rogues or becoming one. With so many exploits going around it's not even a fair fight. The biggest gripe of all, there's no freedom on how you want to gear up. Without an SMG or DMR you just in for a hard time in DZ. AR looks good but the muzzle climb just makes it unusable or still far behind what SMG can do. Wait and see will the next incursion improve on things. Their loot table just ridiculously pathetic with what even remotely usable.

Aim for 160k DPS,80k health,& 65% armor dmg mitigation. The goal is to finish off most enemies within a single smg clip. Able to take some hits when rushing enemies. The last time I played, manage to hit 193K DPS,82k Health,10k Skill,65% Armor.
Do a ratio of 4 pcs firearm and 2 pcs stamina. Usually reserve vest with reckless and gloves with savages for stamina on my end. Keep an eye on anything that let you crits better to bring up the dps value. Calibrate mod slot if possible to bring up armor mitigation.
Don't get caught up with weapon talent too much...if you don't have the stats for it, you don't have it! The talents won't do you any good if you can't kill fast enough or able to withstand any dmg at all.
Electronics is more useful in PvE....PvP in DZ or facing L32 enemies in 05 & 06, just not feasible IMO.

My Aug 3's 46 mag takes much lesser time than mp5 64 mag. GS182 MP5 problem is not enough DPS per bullet, it still takes longer time to take down an enemy. Speed is everything ....with plenty of stamina but bad armor your high health means nothing.
Your 130k dps only do mosquito bite at falcon lost challenging. My 193 dps with striker perk still underpower to do enough damage to the shotgunners unless someone marked him with sentry's perk.

He breaks down pretty well on how to gear up and what to look out for. Hope it helps.

Double post...
