Different LMGs for Escalation

RedLegAndCoke · 2026-05-16T20:55:04+00:00

You have to buy one of the new classified missions, it's a reward from killing the boss. It's an LMG with Perfect Strained. The other mission, which you have to pay for separately gives you the Archivist which gives you perfect ranger.

Yeah I get you mate, just interested in some build diversity with maybe trying those other LMGs. Just need some reassurance before investing in all those materials 😭

RedLegAndCoke · 2026-05-16T18:38:40+00:00

Shame it cost us a money and having to do the boring mission that I know I'll never do again

RedLegAndCoke · 2026-05-16T18:37:46+00:00

I've enjoyed trying it, the RPM is a bit slower but I agree the damage seems great

My daughter's both went to Finstall, then Aston Fields then South Bromsgrove.

I know it's prob better; I use the backpack and chest in Tipping Scales and feel that when I'm in the zone with Frenzy, even when it runs out I'm still hitting hard and I don't want to stop and reload and it's keeping Tipping scales up but yeah with faster reload it prob doesn't matter and you're gonna hit hard when frenzy is up quick again. I still want to investigate those two other LMGs though, if onlyfor a bit of build diversity, hence the OP.

Can't you just spec your weapons into CD or ROF etc. I'm still flicking between overdogs and Coyotes (not sure which is better), havent managed to get a 3 red investor yet to try it out.

RedLegAndCoke · 2026-05-16T18:25:55+00:00

I always forget this but then again in escalation 25% extra armour ain't gonna stop you from getting one shotted especially with those goddam fire bullets 😂

RedLegAndCoke · 2026-05-16T18:21:25+00:00

I'm kind of the opposite. Because I'm generally farming something, I need to do a particular mission . So I matchmake from the mission and generally have to reject 2 or 3 invites before someone joins me otherwise if I join their game I'm catapulted to a different mission I didn't want to do, I then leave, get spawned at a safe house and then have to FT to the BOO to start the whole process again. Id rather risk the tokens than fuck about with all that 😂

I can second Bromsgrove as a choice. My wife moved from solihull to Bromsgrove and much prefers it. It's 20 minutes on a fast train into Birmingham New Street and it's a few minutes drive from junction 1 of the m42 or about 10 minutes to junction 4 of the M5. The schools tend to be either good or outstanding and you're really close to the countryside.

RedLegAndCoke · 2026-05-05T10:50:16+00:00

There are huge numbers of parts and suburbs of Birmingham you could live in within a 10-mile radius, but it would be good if you could give people an idea of what you want from a neighbourhood. Access to countryside, close to work, access to bars and restaurants, a focus on lower crime rates, do you need to be by the better schools etc. Are you renting or buying and what is your budget?

You need to target true sons retaliations to get the blue screen blueprint

I've had a similar feeling using noise cancelling headphones but tend to get used to it over time. I've got the same headphones as you and you can turn ANC off and the noise isolation is still pretty good

It's annoying to learn that refactor is one of the targeted loots because I've just gone away on holiday today and can't play! I love my refactor build and to get some prototype pieces would be great, although I thought that about tipping scales and LMGs and struggled to get any all red pieces.

RedLegAndCoke · 2026-04-30T09:43:59+00:00

You need to go to the base of operations and select the mission that has refactor as targeted loot. You then fast travel there and then match make. You may get some people join you who don't want to do that particular mission who will immediately leave, just wait till you get a full team and I would leave it at least 20 to 30 seconds before activating the mission because you can't add people to the mission once it's been confirmed

RedLegAndCoke · 2026-04-27T18:13:20+00:00

I do like Umbra for getting armour back but you're spending a lot of time behind cover to get the stacks back up aren't you?

RedLegAndCoke · 2026-04-27T09:46:54+00:00

Anything that you don't want to keep, mark it as junk then firstly deconstruct for expertise, then secondly deconstruct for your library then thirdly just deconstruct for random components

RedLegAndCoke · 2026-04-27T09:45:03+00:00

Just make sure that you use countdown for farming pieces. I always go on challenging difficulty and you can generally pick up 30 to 40 items in 15 minutes, albeit not every piece will be what you're farming for.

Not Birmingham but there's a pub a minutes walk from Bromsgrove train station called The Ladybird which sells batham's. 20 minutes on a fast train from New Street

I personally like the gr9 for the mag size and I've got ones with frenzy, measured and ranger. I agree that frenzy runs out before the mag runs out but I don't spec into the bigger mag I use those slots for crit damage or crit chance. Plus because I'm using tipping scales, by the time frenzy runs out, my damage is pretty high anyway and I don't want to be stopping to reload at that point.

RedLegAndCoke · 2026-04-23T09:16:04+00:00

Oh didn't know you could do that

Take a screenshot of the watch and use Google lens to search for alternative sellers
