For me that 1st Wave M1A showed ~30k dmg on level 30.

Oh 30K dps or DMG? Sounds like your firearms is super high if it's 30K dmg as opposed to DPS. I was able to find this image and it seems like the dmg will be relative to your firearms value. For Instance, my lvl 29 one with 1400 firearms is 21.9K dmg stripped where as this image is a lvl 30 one with 21.5K dmg with only 980 Firearms.

 

[noomi]

There is no reason for the number to be so high. I am not claiming it doesnt work, I am just saying that it will end up not being convenient enough at later expansions.

The enemy that has 1,000,000 HP now could have 100,000 HP and my DPS could be 10,000 instead of 100,000 that it is now. (all numbers are just random)

It will be kinda weird to see an SMG in a future expansion spraying numbers in the million figures...

I guess their reasoning is, make the players feel powerful at the start to hook them into the game. I do agree with you however, eventually these damage values and numbers will get pretty ridiculous and I can totally see them adjusting them in the future.

You don't get better stuff at DZ05+. DZ01 to 06 have exactly same rewards and loot drop chances.

Aww man, for realz? What's the benefit of ever going into the higher DZ brackets then?

Just saw the reddit post today, will go and pick this up after work. It should be there until tonight's reset, right?

I'm level 11 now. So far I've managed to spend all my playtime in a group of four. The co-op is good, and that's what I was looking for.

I know it's early but I'm a little surprised at the absolute lack of enemy variety. Yes, I understand that the Division is restricted by the real-world setting but they could have added something like technicals, motorcycles, gun emplacements, attack dogs, or drones.

All that stuff is probably going to be in Wildlands

Seeing some chat about scavenging points. Are these character based, that are upgraded by gear, or are the scavenging points exclusively attributable to gear itself?

Where would I check my characters current scavenging rating/score?

Under Character (go inventor and select the second tab), scroll down a bit.

 

[Leyasu]

The drop rates have been nerfed into oblivon. I'm running with about 130 scavenging and don't get much.

Completely random, 6 more hours last night no Legendaries. so about 15-20 hours no legenadary drop

It's ridiculous. I've put so many hours into the DZ with no Legendary's yet my friend who has 10% scavenging got 3 Legendary drops in one loot run so that Scavenger stat makes no sense to me whatsoever.

One of the reasons that I dropped destiny was the horrible RNG. I love this game, but it will go the same way if it turns out like destiny. Top loot should not be given out like candy, but it shouldn't be like a lottery win either.

 

[k1t4j]

Finally found an LMG that I like. The M60 seems super stable from the go with decent mag size and rof.

Definitely looking out for this one when I reach 30.

So far I also really liked the burst fire MP4 and the M1A from the weapons I tried out.

Hopefully they all have nice blueprint I can craft or a chance to drop with decent perks.

Go to Inventory then 1 tab right to Character and scroll right to the bottom. It has Exploration and has Scavenging % shown.

Anyone have issues switching weapons while in a firefight?

This seems to happen to me pretty often....

As soon as I empty the clip in my primary weapon I hit triangle to switch to my secondary immediately, and it seems like 90% of the time it doesn't work. Instead my guy just reloads his primary weapon and I am unable to switch to secondary quickly enough :/

 

[VE3TRO]

How are you guys making credits? I seem to always have around 20-40k. I see some have hundreds of thousands.

they sell items and they all run missions over and over which give good credits

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Do you guys keep any gear or weapons in storage in case you need it to fulfil a certain role?

My stash is empty, but should probably start filling it for switching to high damage/stamina/electronics

Also could do with a shotgun for interior mission replays, and an LMG for covering fire.

Going to highest DZ brackets is none worth, just for ePenis inches as you can say you managed to kill level 32 pack of NPC's. With friend we farmed 01-02, then 03-04 and last 05-06. Our results were that rewards and loot quality is same in all sections so we just speed farm 01-02.

Yeah, that M1A will be there until tonight's reset.

I sold all dz items instead of deconstructing for a day to buy pachan, you can get cred fast if you dont reconstruct. level 30 purples and blues sell for 4-6k

Holy shit dude, them stats are insane. Also thanks for the replies, still learning new things every day haha.

 

[LProtag]

Alright, beat the last mission. 29 now.

 

[T.O.P]

Crafted the God Mag on second try.

Still nothing after 6 tries, motherfuckin reload speed

And now i'm low on materials

 

[robertsan21]

What does the i in ilvl31 mean? I dont understand what some are saying that they are getting 31 gear

Actually I'm not even that far away from that :|

Insane luck to get mod slots on nearly every item. I currently have 2... T_T

I saw people answered you already, but Kneepads have the biggest scavenger attribute. Then you can make it bigger with mods on any gear.

Some people claim this number means nothing, while others claim it helps. Hard to tell but I'm sure it doesn't hurt.

 

[deoee]

If you inspect an item in the inventory it shows a gear level and a level needed to equip.
We are talking about the gear one

Is just chain running CM maps more useful than farming DZ? I ran some CM maps last night and it actually went pretty well.

If you want high ends then yes, if you want FUN then no (i like farming with friends)

Depends on what you want or need. CM farm is best way to get Phoenix Credits atm and specific high-end items, but DZ farm has better possibility of random high-end loots.

it's my fav weapon that i've used so far

hoping for a high end blueprint once the vendors refresh

I've yet to see any HE loot from the DZ, despite a good number of hours murdering people. Just RNG I suppose.

Mine too, it's just super good.

 

[MicSte79]

Just finished the final story mission, have completed a lot of the side missions, unlocked all of the safe houses and up to Level 20 in the Dark Zone.

That last few hours was nothing more than a reptitive slog. Can't see me going back for much more now.

 

[Badgerst3]

Sometimes a citizen or enemy will drop a greyed out item. Usually scopes or mags, sometimes a weapon.

It goes into my inventory but I can't equip it or deconstruct it. Only sell it.

I tried putting it in my stash bin and taking it back out but it stays grey. I can't use it.

Not DZ items btw. Anyone?

Ok didnt know that. And whats the benifit of having ilv31 over lvl30?

Possibly better rolls on the stats.

Higher roll value

 

[Reckless Onion]

imo CM today is by far the easiest with 1/2 person running crowd control.

Only 7,000 posts too late. But great minds think alike, so I forgive ya.

Waaaay ahead of ya.

 

[robertsan21]

These ilvl31 drop in DZ 5-6 only?

 

[noomi]

I think the specialized gear vendor in the BoO also sells ilvl 31 gear if I'm not mistaken.

My current progress. Tonight we're going to work towards hitting DZ level 30 so we can open the cases in there.

You have to explain to me why you take a picture with your phone.

 

[LProtag]

Alright, grind in the DZ at 29 or just get to 30? What's the best course of action here?

DZ05 and DZ06 has a chance of dropping iLvl31 gear so no, they do drop different stuff

 

[Xion_Stellar]

It doesn't matter really because to equip the High End Gear from the DZ you need to grind to DZ Lv.50 anyways so do it now or later it's up to you.

 

[commish]

Had no idea, good to know.

 

[arts&crafts]

Anyone who has 150k+ dps. are you using anything from the DZ or is it strictly challenge mode / crafting?

 

[Shane]

Because I originally sent it in a text to someone.

It has gone the long way around.

I don't usually do the luddite option.

[Karanlos]

Had pretty bad perf with a R9 390 MSI (low 30s) so I opened afterburner and saw that the GPU usage was all over... Scrolled down to CPU temp and saw 100 degrees....... One cornor of the cooler had jumped loose and after a reapplication of thermal paste it's at ~60 degrees celcius under load.

One thing I've noticed is when I start the game my Logitech keyboard backlight turns off or down. Never had this issues with other games. Anyone else noticed this?

 

[T.O.P]

Is there a way to check if my mic is actually working in game?

I had no problem talking to people until yesterday when the game didn't seem to pick up my headset mic anymore

Gonna go DZ tonight and scream at people just to check :/

Just make sure your VOIP setting is on yes, maybe send a voice message to someone via ps messages to make sure there is no issue with your microphone.
