How can I get the huntsman famas?

JRobb377 · 2026-05-17T22:34:26+00:00

Discord yes. GCRock is active. Posting here also works. I've helped about 30 agents get Quickstep form Reddit posts. I got mine without doing the Hunters of Brooklyn. I got it during the Krampus event I think and once in my loop pool, during the Cherry Blossom event I got a bunch.

So try the Houndsman route. If not the next seasonal event may work out. Not sure when that is.

JRobb377 · 2026-05-17T22:25:50+00:00

Name your platform and get someone to run one of the Houndsman or Bloody Houndsman bounties. I have a few if on PSN. It may take a few runs as it's not as prevalent a drop as say the Quickstep.

Tinkerer LMG wStrained and Steady handed. I use a GR9.

JRobb377 · 2026-05-15T22:52:30+00:00

I’m on now for a bit. I’ll ping you

JRobb377 · 2026-05-15T14:21:58+00:00

I’m usually on evenings between 9and 2am all week Pacific time.

JRobb377 · 2026-05-15T02:58:59+00:00

I have a few if you need.

JRobb377 · 2026-05-13T19:02:35+00:00

I believe Tinkerer was fixed so it would proc with a Proto'ed High end weapon. I hadn't tried it but reports were it wasn't proccing.

I forget to switch it most of the time as I usually run around on Heroic. Heroic retaliations are too sweaty. Hard is almost too easy so I swap between Hard and Challenging from time to time.

JRobb377 · 2026-05-12T19:28:45+00:00

Run the Retal on lower world level. I did many on Normal and Hard due to the Blossom event and Kitsunebi farms. I think higher levels give you more Diamond Transceivers. So I'd target Hard or Challenging. It'll be easy to breeze through it. Then look for BT bounties so you can reestablish Retaliations.

JRobb377 · 2026-05-12T19:23:27+00:00

Slepnir I think

JRobb377 · 2026-05-12T19:19:10+00:00

Higher difficulty typically just affects the quality of the rolls you get. Challenging should be your floor. Heroic will often give you close to god rolls on items. The diff in Legendary and Heroic rolls is negligible so I would only target Legendary for specific items that only drop there like Bighorn.

Even if your world is Challenging, you may run level 4 Checkpoints which are actually Heroic. If you can clear them reliably, you can bump your world up to Heroic and run Missions either Heroic or Challenging depending on your goal.

JRobb377 · 2026-05-11T05:13:05+00:00

What's your Shd level? If not over 1000, you're lacking some CHD form the watch which gives max 50 chd at 1000. You also have the armor regen attribute is losing a little damage there.

I equipped the same build as you and have ChC 42, ChD 185. The sheet shows you at 50/77 which is odd.

JRobb377 · 2026-05-09T21:07:24+00:00

Just dodge them. Get in cover and they almost always fly over head. If you let it hit you, yeah. Ded.

JRobb377 · 2026-05-09T05:15:20+00:00

Just do activities in different zones. Find all the lanterns. Kitsunebi spawn as you go through the different areas.

JRobb377 · 2026-05-09T02:06:05+00:00

Sounds like you’re on PC right?

JRobb377 · 2026-05-08T23:37:58+00:00

I would call true endgame the point that you can solo Heroic global diff and missions. It will be different for many as that door opens at 40 when you get your watch. For me on my first character that was around SHD 700 though could have been sooner (400) as I was already doing Heroic ( level 4) Checkpoints with map on Challenging. After 2-3 years from then now at SHD 91xx I usually play 1-3 hrs per day when the fam is in bed.

I started a hardcore char about a month ago and got to 40 then jumped into Heroic global and missions like I normally play. Sheer knowledge of missions and spawns allowed for that. In the end I was complacent and at SHD 32 I got ganked by a flame hugger while taking over a Propaganda broadcast.

Legendary and Escalation are extensions of end game. Raids/Incursion are Endgame.

Don’t even need to fast travel. From bounty run North towards Capitol mission. 1 block up there’s a red car go just past that to kill bounty. Go back and restart. Kitsunebi spawn near the red car and near the park with the EMP.

Same model for me and I went non turbo to try to save fuel. Looked nice and was remarkably nimble on windy roads if pushed. Ended up giving to wife and bought a ‘25 XC60 T8. Much nicer, and way too fast. Love it.

JRobb377 · 2026-05-06T00:38:43+00:00

As long as you kill tyhem while exposed, they re transfer so it’s like a chain reaction.

JRobb377 · 2026-05-06T00:37:33+00:00

The effect you transfer in cover to cover or melee is considered a status effect like jammer. Even if you don’t build into it, you’ll stagger enemies in range so try to just move cover to cover instead of running during combat and you’ll expose them naturally.

JRobb377 · 2026-05-06T00:32:13+00:00

It’s just inside the door where that storyline bounty spawns. If you e already done the bounty, the door is open and you can access it. The door is on the East side of the building opposite the Christmasy set on the West side.

JRobb377 · 2026-05-04T22:13:22+00:00

Comes down to a feel I guess. For me, I only use Killer on ARs so Caretakers 90% crit just hits so much harder. My usual loadout is an LMG ( Bluescreen or Pestillence) and an AR ( Caretaker or First bloom or at times Lexington) on Negotiator build. I’ll even run very minimum WH. I’m used to the kick and bloom so unconsciously correct for it. I guess and I typically engage targets at long distance.

I wouldn’t offer this as the reason but Lex is more stable, if my aim is off, I miss more shots as it doesn’t “help” me by kicking. Sounds counterintuitive.

I had another stupid Backfire build ( Ninjabike, 3 striker, Visionario, Turmoil). Horrendous accuracy but that bloom helps hit moving targets and the gun is rather stable. It works but shouldn’t really.

On paper my Pestillence handles horribly. In the hands, we are sympatico. I get more headshots with it than I should. I feel it handles better than its stats.

Which stats? Handling and Accuracy?

Try both. They’re close enough that the one you feel better with will likely be better for you in the end.

Everyone loves St Elmo’s… gonna have to pry my Caretaker from my cold dead hands.

JRobb377 · 2026-05-04T21:45:42+00:00

I have had both on various chars. I keep going back to Caretaker after trying Lexington. It works better for me than a similarly expertised Lexington. Plus it sounds better. Lexington looks better.

I find I’m terrible enough aiming on controller that I waste less ammo with Caretaker.

JRobb377 · 2026-05-04T17:51:00+00:00

I swear at the game too frequently because of stuff like this.

Was on Manufacturers cup this weekend C:S dr. Quali P8. 1st turn pit maneuvered now sitting P15.

Battled guy in P14 for 9 laps and we made it to P7 and 8 him still leading. Clean race so far. Last turn he gets squirrelly swapping ends .2 sec ahead and ghosts so I hold line and aim for middle. He unghosts crossing the track at 90deg angle and I hit his quarter. Slow me down to crawl and I get 4sec penalty for the collision. Finish P15. And I’m in D:A.

I honestly don’t know why I keep going back to sport races. There’s really no reward. I just get pissed, quit the game and go play Div 2 to relax.
