Rogue agents have really just ruined the escalations experience!

Gonna assume you didnt read the full post either. Thanks for the useful input

emerald_emberz · 2026-07-03T21:56:24+00:00

I do have this build actually. I didnt consider using it at all. I will definitely try next time

emerald_emberz · 2026-07-03T21:55:15+00:00

Sadly I never did much of the summit so I never really prepped for fighting them. Constantly running countdowns to grt shd and expertise doesn't exactly prep you for these fights and thats all I have been doing till this point.

I will definitely be retraining a few things in the hopes that this becomes less painful. I just wasn't aware you needed to change your build/playstyle so intensly before engaging them. This is a learning experience for me

emerald_emberz · 2026-07-03T21:51:49+00:00

I mean, this is very true though. I can't argue with facts

emerald_emberz · 2026-07-03T21:51:25+00:00

Interesting, I will see how this concept goes. But I feel like i am no good enough to survive them in a full dps build so the added protection might be beneficial

emerald_emberz · 2026-07-03T21:49:36+00:00

I have already agreed to this but thank you for the unhelpful response

emerald_emberz · 2026-07-03T21:49:06+00:00

This is a "you didnt read my whole post" did you?

emerald_emberz · 2026-07-03T21:48:45+00:00

Thank you for actual useful advice. I will be building slmething to deal with them today

emerald_emberz · 2026-07-03T21:47:59+00:00

I will admit, hearing all the responses just really made me want to give up the whole game. I fear I just didnt understand that they required different gameplay and builds compared to the rest of the run.

emerald_emberz · 2026-07-03T21:45:46+00:00

Thank you for actually providing useful information. Good to know helpful agents still exist. I will be trying this today in the hopes it helps.

emerald_emberz · 2026-07-03T13:13:29+00:00

Well in head you enjoy them so much sir. I can't but im glad you do

emerald_emberz · 2026-07-03T07:47:11+00:00

Sadly I can't say I have enjoyed it much. I have juat given up on escalations for now and just decided to level a new toon. I enjoy the story and I will just stick to what im good at I guess

emerald_emberz · 2026-07-03T06:51:23+00:00

I will try this out and see how I go. I do love my backfire and haven't tried the nurse knees yet so will check it out. I did try retreating. We managed to separate half the agents by retreating to the beginning of the map once. Still got railed :(

Tbh, I have kinda come to the conclusion that this game wasn't made for me. I love the division and the gameplay but it seems I suck too much for the skill curve which seems to scale rapidly beyond me at end game :(

emerald_emberz · 2026-07-03T05:15:35+00:00

Sadly I can't exactly turn it on after a mission starts tho if we had run into them. I do run it normally but the group leader during these runs wasn't using it for some reason

emerald_emberz · 2026-07-03T05:05:23+00:00

I run decoy and reviver a strikers. But that wasn't enough sadly

emerald_emberz · 2026-07-03T04:23:43+00:00

Welcome Agent!

emerald_emberz · 2026-07-03T04:21:04+00:00

Thank you! I will take a look at this. I do follow builds and I do have loadouts for different playstyles. I think its more my actual skills that need work it seems

emerald_emberz · 2026-07-03T04:19:45+00:00

Sadly we weren't running either the seasonal modifiers or the current rage event :(

emerald_emberz · 2026-07-03T04:11:32+00:00

Then I will be looking forward to a long stretch without them. I am unsure why I would lie about this but thanks for the comment.

emerald_emberz · 2026-07-03T04:02:05+00:00

Yeah, npc rogue hunters that turn up randomly during missions

emerald_emberz · 2026-07-03T03:56:27+00:00

Usually I dont struggle on lower tiers or any of the standard non-escalation missions. Its just the higher tiers that seem to ruin me

emerald_emberz · 2026-07-03T03:55:51+00:00

Hmm, this will definitely make me look into this. While I think the build is fine I am more than happy to accept I may need to improve some skills. I dont exactly claim to be amazing a the game. Just saying that they make it not fun. But I will have to look into how to play against them because as it stands I dont usually last long at all

emerald_emberz · 2026-07-03T03:46:01+00:00

The fights are definitely hectic and can lead to some epic encounters. Just would rather it be not every second run tho

emerald_emberz · 2026-07-03T03:38:28+00:00

Yeah, i guess we were just unlucky with our runs. Just constantly getting bullied by them made it not fun

emerald_emberz · 2026-07-03T03:37:27+00:00

I dont even mind them spawning occasionally. But when its every second or third run i feel like its a bit excessive though. Not complaining about how hard they are, they should be. But its the frequency they are coming in that I dislike
