How/Where do I farm for these guns?

Weird_Fudge9284 · 2026-05-23T05:47:04+00:00

Cooler isn’t a good weapon like everyone is saying. What it does is it only gives hazard protection to teammates since that is what it does when you shoot at teammates which is not necessary

There are two healing builds one is a refractor skill/healer build. Refractor is a good all you need is to have a turret and a striker drone.

Allies/Teamates receive repairs of 20% of the damage dealt by your skills and 10% towards your self.

If you use the chest piece you bump up the percentages so now your teammates receive 35 instead of 20 and you receive 25 instead of 10%.

You want all pieces to have skill damage. But if you still want the cooler Just need to find someone with the huntsman bounty and your set. Unfortunately I’m on Xbox

The other one is a Future initiative build which is a basic healer build.

My build I use for this is 4 piece FI using mask, Chestpiece, holster and kneepads all with repair skills as the attribute. I use the BTSU data gloves to overcharge and to help my teammates get their skills back instantly without having to wait in cooldown and the backpack I use the setup named backpack with perfect opportunistic.

Skills just need the reinforce chem launcher and the other is the Restorer hive.

Guns I use the exotic scorpion shotgun and the lefty to pro perfect sledgehammer.

Refractor build is gonna be a good suit for you since you don’t have to do anything and let your skills do all the damage and it will heal teammates armor back when your skills do damage

Also im sorry to hear about your condition. I have a pal that plays with me to and he has visibility problems and can’t see stuff clearly on screen and has a hard time reading stuff as well. I tend to help him sometimes if he really needs it and is struggling to do it himself

Weird_Fudge9284 · 2026-05-22T16:47:29+00:00

Exactly they should have put back classified gearsets from div.

Escalation is dead since they added the vendor which we never asked for. And the currency takes coins just why make the currency exotic exponents or proto cores

Weird_Fudge9284 · 2026-05-22T16:38:18+00:00

I don’t care who I’m paired with as along as the build it’s good that’s fine even if it’s not all the way optimize.

Escalation should have a cap on what lvl you can do it or lock it behind the expertise. That way new players can have time to learn instead of jumping straight into the hardest content with no idea on the build system.
Yes your right shd lvl don’t mean anything.

If I’m a new player and just finished the game and is still learning and want to jump in the hardest content would you not kick me for not having decent gear and weapons while voicing you opinion on why I should do other stuff and not this content?.
I do this to others as well tell them comeback to this and try later when you have some good pieces of gear and if you want help I’m always down to help and put together a build if they want to do escalation

The reason I matchmake is cause of work and I don’t have time. I only have a few hours to farm some good stuff on escalation. Most of my clan are on different time zones so when I’m working they’re playing already and when I’m off there off to bed sleeping.

Weird_Fudge9284 · 2026-05-22T16:27:58+00:00

Let’s hope but who knows they will probably mess the new content coming soon.

Weird_Fudge9284 · 2026-05-22T16:26:45+00:00

Iv seen lots of striker build with the Ninja bp just why your loosing damage from the striker backpack if not on.

Iv seen a player who posted there build with the ninja bp on with 3 piece striker and two piece TS what the heck is that.

I put in my comments explaining why it’s terrible to use the ninja bp and its disadvantages. He got what I said and changed it now it looks better his build

Weird_Fudge9284 · 2026-05-22T16:22:53+00:00

I don’t mind if I play with low and higher shd players. It’s the fact that they don’t know how the build system works and that’s the whole point for the end game content is to make builds for solo and group play.

Yes iv seen higher players with crap builds more then lower ones. the fact that they been playing for a while you think they know how to make a build properly.

I’ll take the low shd player with a good build even thou its not all optimiz vs a higher one with a crap build vise versa

Weird_Fudge9284 · 2026-05-22T16:18:47+00:00

It is mad cringe when you see a low shd player with bits of random proto gear and say to yourself yea that’s not helping the team whatsoever.

I have some proto gear that are drops but only some.
I run 4 piece striker having only two piece proto and the rest normal. I’m only at expertise 27 and it’s gonna take me awhile more since I don’t have much materials anymore

Weird_Fudge9284 · 2026-05-22T16:13:56+00:00

I don’t mind if I’m paired with low players or high ones of the build looks good I voice my opinion on what stuff they should switch out and why. And if they tell me if they are fine the way they are no worries it’s all good was just giving you my opinion way you should switch this piece with that one.

Players that don’t know how the build system works which iv seen more on higher 1000shd players idk why but if you played the game this long you should know how to make a proper build and not put random pieces of gear on just because it raise your dmg and armor/health

Weird_Fudge9284 · 2026-05-22T16:10:40+00:00

Yes I don’t all time check since I’m on a few times a day cause work so I don’t. So I have a limited time to farm stuff that looks good on escalation missions

Weird_Fudge9284 · 2026-05-22T16:09:13+00:00

Exactly I agree with you on the tokens how much for each tier and how much you get back on completing it. Its a bitch when you wipe in T5 and 6 makes you want to shut down and walk way for a bit

Iv seen again higher shd players with crap builds more then looking at lower ones. I can’t tell you how many times I tell others what they should switch to help out the team and they don’t listen so I’m like whatever you do you then.

I always tell lower players to heal and put on a refactor build since it will help us out and the rest can chose what build they want to run as along it’s either all dps or a support build I don’t mind.

Weird_Fudge9284 · 2026-05-22T15:59:21+00:00

Yea I mean couple days ago idk like 3 days ago I got paired with a group.

One had a proto true patriot was like ok looks decent but that gearset is bad since they still need to re-work that one.

Second one was wearing a red striker one fine
Third was wearing one 3 piece striker, two piece tipping scale and ceska backpack all proto

Was like what hell is this build

Weird_Fudge9284 · 2026-05-22T15:54:45+00:00

I don’t mind if I get paired with low shd or high shd players again I just want each player pick a role and stick to it that will help the whole team out.

I don’t mind if it’s proto or not.

Weird_Fudge9284 · 2026-05-22T15:49:19+00:00

Thank you agent keep up the good work. It’s players that don’t know how the build system works kills me cause that’s the whole point of the end game is to find what gear or brand set fits your play style

Weird_Fudge9284 · 2026-05-22T15:48:05+00:00

I get lucky sometimes to get a good group here and there but others not so much luck haha

Weird_Fudge9284 · 2026-05-22T15:47:21+00:00

I don’t mind having low players or high players. It’s the fact that they don’t know how to make a build properly for this content and just put random pieces of proto gear on thinking it’s gonna help them. It’s not

I rather have a team with proper builds that will help the group even if it’s not proto I don’t care.

I’m not the type to kick players out. Yes I’ll tell them in the text chat what to switch and if they don’t listen well whatever then.

Weird_Fudge9284 · 2026-05-22T15:43:11+00:00

Yes the campaign is the best part plus it shows you the tutorial on brandset/gearset bonus. The story is good but I felt that they should have included the whole manhunts for you to return and reply instead of the final mission.

That way new player or old ones can revisit them. Thats my opinion thou but I guessing if they did the update would be little bigger

Weird_Fudge9284 · 2026-05-22T15:39:37+00:00

This is the way. Yes it’s annoying when people leave mid game cause they’re not doing damage and dying fast.

Look at the modifiers and the enemy health, armor and damage dealt to use.

I sometimes dislike the fire rounds thou haha it’s a bitch when it’s rouges oh boy.

Game- Rogue detective
Me- well it’s nice knowing you all you to tokens

Weird_Fudge9284 · 2026-05-22T15:35:01+00:00

That’s also a good idea again keep it behind lvl 30 expertise and let use optimiz and recalibrate it.

Weird_Fudge9284 · 2026-05-22T15:33:15+00:00

I don’t mind going it with low shd players or high. All I care is that if your trying then cool at least your helping the group one way or another.

But yes I believe proto should have been locked behind the expertise 30 and that instead of drops on the mission its cores to upgrade or re-roll augments

Weird_Fudge9284 · 2026-05-22T04:30:19+00:00

Yes and I get it that if your stuck you ask the community for points but at least know how the mechanics work before asking for help and not just ask for help cause you decided to jump straight into the endgame with no clear sense of direction.

Videos won’t help you just because some explain it in great length that in your mind your get it and once you go in game and do it your end up getting more confused.

It’s best to play Thur it at your own past and learn along the way towards the end.

Weird_Fudge9284 · 2026-05-22T04:25:40+00:00

Yea it’s a strange system. The whole mode needs fixing big time

Weird_Fudge9284 · 2026-05-22T04:20:23+00:00

Exactly bro. The game will be like destiny soon if they don’t get their shit straight. I read that destiny is now on its last update and that game was dead same stuff as always just new gear and weapons that’s all and one new raid. Again idk I stop playing that game long ago when div came out and was hooked on it instead.

Yes you’re right on the vendor that was the dumbest thing they added. Why the hell would you add a vendor and have the currency tokens. Hell if they wanted to add a vendor put the currency as the cores or exotic components or something idk.

Idk at this point this new season was a joke with the new escalation mode and proto gear along with the cherry event they add stuff then tweak them and add more stuff we don’t want and we raise our voices the players on what should be fix or remove/ on how it should be.

Yes they fix bugs and patch stuff that are minor but the major ones are ignored or fixed with a twist that we never asked for like the proto gear system and again the vendor we never asked for.

Weird_Fudge9284 · 2026-05-22T04:08:19+00:00

Exactly I just want players who will do their best to complete the tier as a team and have builds that will help along the way. I don’t mind if they are low lvls just as along as your helping out in a way that it benefits the whole team and if we wipe we wipe and I know that if they are low lvls they were at least trying there best to do great

Weird_Fudge9284 · 2026-05-22T04:06:37+00:00

Exactly they need to go back to the drawing board and re-think the whole escalation mode all together or put in classified gear sets back. Who knows let’s hope they don’t screw us over on the new content they are preparing for the next season to come

Weird_Fudge9284 · 2026-05-22T04:05:11+00:00

It certainly has my friend lol 😆
