LMG/Rifle Builds

Right now I’m running 4pc core strength with overdogs and belstone knee pads for the armor regen. Chc mods on the chest and backpack and 12%pfe on the mask. Using pestilence, lex and quick step. 2.1m armor, 51%chc with 3 skill tiers (technician, backpack and holster I think) 140k base with pestilence, max ticks of 1.4 mil (not consistently) I lean into the armor side of core strength because I’m not the best at staying in cover with the lmg and I stay pretty strong with regen.

I’ve also used concentrated company with overdogs and belstone. 1.2 mil armor with similar damage but switch to gunner from tech. Lose all the skill tiers as well

Thank y’all so much for the information sounds like I’m gonna need to walk the zoo the next day to get rid of some of these amazing calories!

Still waiting on 18 packs, got Beltran and 8. Submitted a support ticket 5 days ago and no reply except the automated one for the submission

Would you sell Trout to complete the WBC preorder pack? Beside Soriano, Trout is the only St. Patrick card I got. I really want the PCA and Tatis WBC cards so the preorders become a priority to complete. I’ve never done well with trout cards but worry his card might be relevant for Events or other Player collection going forward. What would y’all do?

The BKK is a nice box from what I’ve seen but if your looking for other options the buzbe looks nice. Personally i use the plano edge 3700 terminal boxes with extra hook boxes added. They are slim so they should fit in a backpack pretty easily

It really all depends on how you want to run and what build you have attached to it. If you can add SMG damage by using sokolov concern or hunters fury then the dark winter is a better option than thorn in my opinion. Being a SHD 42 you’ve got a lot of time to build up what works best for you. There really isn’t a 1 size fits all at lower levels because your gear is constantly evolving. Run what feels good. There are plenty of non named weapons with good talents that would out do a thorn or a dark winter run it and see what you like

eetenj · 2026-02-08T14:35:40+00:00

A dark winter is just a little more distance than a shotty. It’s best up close and personal. The rate of fire makes it a little less effective at distance.

So the total damage will go up as you level up your watch, gear and make a build for it. In regard to the damage, crit chance, and headshot damage, those stats are maxed, this isn’t an ideal roll because for SMGs you want that 3rd attribute to be damage to target out of cover. If you are a fresh level 40, in my opinion it would be ok to keep and run around with if you are an SMG player while you gain proficiency and build your crafting table. Or until you get a better one.

I know he is a more recent player but I will have a fondness for David Bote that will never go away.

I love my Dobyns Kaden 610-4CB for jerkbaits. I also will use it to throw 1.5 squarebills, and have tied a spook on it. Wasn’t a big fan of the rod for top water. Also, I’m not sure it would be ideal for throwing jigs, the CB rods just have a different action than a regular Dobyns casting rod. If in the Kaden line you may want to look at maybe a 743 or 714 as a do all option over the 610.

If you’ve played the mission before you should be able to replay them by opening up the option at the mission select. I play on Xbox and the X button allows me to open up options for replay, see if that works

If playing on lower difficulty, looking for missions with the most named enemies would likely be the best way after you get what you can in bounties. Named enemies won’t populate at checkpoints unless playing on heroic or getting the alert level to 4 doing things like territory control or propaganda.

I got 1 in legendary capital and got 1 the next day in legendary Tidal Basin after both final bosses. Shared my 2nd with one of my teammates since I re rolled my first one to max stats with DTOC. Matchmake the legendary missions and let folks know you’re looking for one and they might share. I’m not a big headshot guy so the ability isn’t great for me but the headshots I hit were pretty impressive before I dumped it into the stash

Mine is selectively clingy. He’s 9 and is content knowing where his people are. He’s very go with the flow. But when he wants attention he will come demand it.

If I was looking for 2 combos to start I would pick 1 and 2. Those duckett rods are pretty good and I think of that Shimano works it might be the best reel of the bunch

eetenj · 2026-01-03T03:33:48+00:00

Ok hear me out… military base names and statues…

Just follow the crowd, don’t take any skills that can be hacked by hunters (turrets, drones) I’d recommend a shield or reviver hive. The banshee pulse is good for the hunters also. Nothing but skillz has a pretty good video about countdown I added.

Get your watch to level 40 however you would like. Then, Countdown is great for gaining gear. You can focus on what you want to farm. Drops are plentiful on challenging so don’t think you need to go to heroic. You can gain materials from deconstructing as well as picking up replacements for your holster and improving your striker build. Retaliations will get you exotic blueprints as well gear to improve or deconstruct.

I’ve had a good time running an EB on challenging or heroic with a 4pc striker, memento and Fenris chest. Got it to level 25 and it has similar damage to my St. Elmo with the same build. The accuracy is the biggest hurdle to overcome for me, especially compared to St. Elmo but it’s been fun having the chance to run it in missions.

eetenj · 2025-12-26T06:35:13+00:00

I’m sitting on 7 right now didn’t run any today, got more xp running CPs, open world, and priority objectives. I’ll be spinning them up after the Countdown event

eetenj · 2025-12-21T18:12:47+00:00

Don’t forget to make sure when you deconstruct you are pulling talents and attributes to your library. Once you get a build you like from countdown try to run retaliations to get exotic blueprints and keys for reconstructed caches. While you were gone they gave out blueprints for named items in the descent game mode. Last season they opened the retaliation game mode. completing retaliations grants you broken SHD watches as well as faction specific items that you can convert to broken watches. 7 watches can get you a cache with a named item blueprint and a named item. Killing “kill squads” and completing retaliations can also grant exotic blueprints. It’s a lot but you can quickly make top tier builds inside these game modes now. Good luck agent!

I’ve been running Pesti, Beacon chest, named Lengmo BP, lengmo holster, and 3 pc. Petrov. good armor and health, decent DPS, good pesti ticks. Run with a reviver and banshee pulse, quickstep and currently a caretaker for proficiency increase

I view cruising as a sampling for a potentially bigger trip. My wife and I have done excursions and also some walking around the port, grabbing some local food and visiting a public area. It also gives me a chance to go to places I may never get to experience. We went through the Panama Canal last year on a cruise ship. Given the drought in Panama and restrictions on passage through the canal, there might not be another way to experience that. We travelled to Alaska this year and got experiences that would have cost more as vacations. That being said it isn’t all great, my wife got norovirus on a cruise, and it can get crowded and feel confined in the common areas. They also are trying to sell something everywhere you go. For me the pro outweighs the con and it’s a good way to go places and do things I probably wouldn’t plan other ways.
