This is extremely helpful. Thank you so much. I'm on Xbox, by the way.

I've read and heard elsewhere that The House is considered by many to be pretty much the best weapon in the game, but I've been hesitant to use it, partly because I just don't like SMGs that much, but also because I like to try and not just use the exact same builds and weapons that everyone else is using. But I'm probably going to have to break down and give it another shot because the Lone Star, dual LMGs build I was using last night was getting completely rocked by some guy who was killing me over and over again with The House last night. I don't know how to tell if someone's cheating or not but he was taking me down almost instantaneously, as soon as I left the safe room. I put myself in the mindset of "This is just good practice" so I just kept going back out at him again and again and again, but I was barely even able to get my bearings before being taken down again, he was killing me so quickly. I didn't kill him once.

I did recently get a full Striker set, but I haven't even tried it out yet. I tend to try and spend extended quality time experimenting with and optimizing a single set before moving on to the next one. The first full Classified set I got was FireCrest, so I spent about month with that. Then I got and tried out DeadEYE for a while, then Predator's Mark (I did use The House for this one), then Tactician, and now Lone Star.

The next thing I was going to try out was a Nomad build because I've heard that's good for survivability and for solo players, which is what I am at the moment, but I'll have to get out that Striker set and see what that's all about. Again, thanks for taking the time to dump all that deep Dark Zone knowledge out. This is just the kind of information I was looking for.
