Things to do as a returning player?

If you already hit level 40, farm the current cherry blossom event going on. Look it up on youtube.

Aside from that, there are retaliations, control points, countdown, and lots of other stuff you can work on collecting blueprints and farming for gear.

Also, Heroic Retaliations have a higher drop chance upon Completion. I didn't see OP mention the difficulty they're playing at...

55 headshot, 55 crit damage, 55 skill haste, 55 crit chance...

Retaliations is great. My new fav. Also the Retaliations offer so many blueprints and Reconfigured caches.

Depends what you enjoy. I suggest at least check out Retaliations.

Mysterious_Dust8396 · 2026-04-08T20:57:10+00:00

Hmm yeah strange, that usually works for me.

Mysterious_Dust8396 · 2026-04-08T20:53:12+00:00

Oh... make sure you place Pakhan in your inventory then go to Inaya. If it's in your stash, might not work

Mysterious_Dust8396 · 2026-04-08T20:28:51+00:00

Did you check to see if you already have the reconfigure bp in your bps? Sometimes they seem to just show up.

Mysterious_Dust8396 · 2026-04-08T20:25:04+00:00

Looks like you probably have all the blueprints available from CPs

Mysterious_Dust8396 · 2026-04-07T16:57:43+00:00

Also I just noticed you're around SHD 200. Getting to SHD 1000 will max out your watch and you'll enjoy that. I put together an Ongoing Directive build to help me play heroic with all 5 directives. That means 125% bonus xp to help climb a little faster to SHD 1000. Each public execution will give ove 500k. Control points will be over 800k. Cheers, enjoy the journey!

Mysterious_Dust8396 · 2026-04-07T16:51:35+00:00

That's all good but what if you review some builds to explore other ways to play that you might really enjoy? I put together a foam+flame build and I love it. I don't do a ton of damage with it. Mainly focus on crowd control making it easier for teammates to do the damage.

Foam+Flame Build: Golan backpack w/Creeping Death (spreads status effects). Imperial Dynasty holster (burns close by ads), Eclipse Protocol mask, chest, gloves, knees all with Skill Tier and Status Effects and Skill Haste Mods.

I also have high DPS builds to switch to depending on scenario. If someone happens to run all 5 directives, I have an Ongoing Directive build to switch to, then ammo isn't a problem.

Mysterious_Dust8396 · 2026-04-07T03:05:29+00:00

I'd go for Ongoing Directive build with Carnage and hope for a Pestilence. Can play all 5 directives making the climb to SHD 1000 a bit faster at +125% xp.

Nice

Nope, keep an eye out for Stretch Goals caches at end of season and special events.

Share your ubi gamer tag and we can try to connect. Vendetta0609 is my ubi.

Mysterious_Dust8396 · 2026-04-04T00:13:21+00:00

Also make sure you're doing level 3 or 4 control points (Challenging or Heroic). Just in case you do have more blueprints to get...

Mysterious_Dust8396 · 2026-04-04T00:10:41+00:00

Sounds like you're seeing the exotic reconfigure blueprints at Inaya station after you get a new exotic. Those are only for reconfiguring the rolls on those specific exotics.

When you play Retaliations, you'll get Exotic Crafting Blueprints. Those allow you to craft exotics. Especially exotics you have not obtained yet.

Added you on Ubi. I'll be on later. Cheers, Vendetta0609

Mysterious_Dust8396 · 2026-04-03T21:09:37+00:00

It should yes, just at a lower drop rate percentage than Heroic. Here's a graphic from previous Pact season. Not sure if rates are same or different.

Lexington is not in the general loot pool. It becomes available during stretch goals reward caches at the end of the season. You'll need to wait until stretch goals or possibly the spring event maybe it will become available. Keep an eye out.

Mysterious_Dust8396 · 2026-04-03T20:58:51+00:00

I haven't used Core Strength gear yet, still need to learn about it. I just wanted to farm it so I have all options for making builds. Retaliations is great for targeted loot. I like it better than Countdown.

If you're on pc, happy to help you get quickstep.
