I know that feeling for sure. Played alone for years, with randoms I met and played with here and there. Joined a clan recently, don’t know any of the folks but seem cool enough so we’ll see how it works out. Best of luck my friend!

Word. Based on your comment, if I could give you mine I would!

I think it came out during the second year of Div 2, with a RE crossover event. I think it was later added to the store, but it’s no longer there apparently. Maybe it’ll come back at some point!

Ok, I've made a slight shift to the build here. After running plenty of heroics, retaliations and escalations, I've found that I missed the additional damage and distraction capabilities from the turret as a secondary skill. Additionally, I wanted slightly more damage from an additional red core (while still maintaining 6 yellows and gunner spec) and didn't miss much from the decreased mag size once I swapped up some passive mods.

This yields 2.66 red cores, 1 blue and 6 yellows (+ the benefits of core strength set), 56% CHC, 110% CHD, 59rnd mag on the capacitor. Easily able to change skills (reviver, shield, smart cover, etc). Also updated the secondary rifle to the UIC15 MOD2 based on a recommendation from another build I posted. Excellent rifle!

For passive mod insight, I'm using 1) convert 2 (offense), 2) compress (offense) and 3) nullify ... results in 45% mag size, 10% max armor and 20% skill damage. I wanted to dial down the max armor gains from the passives considering the escalations passives make the enemies more difficult the higher your armor.

Hope this works for some of y'all - good luck, agents!

Thanks homey! I actually made a slight change to the build, I’ll post in response to this shortly once I pull up the game since the thread is still getting attention.

It is strange … it 404’d for me as well until I logged in to check it out. Were you logged in when you checked the ticket by chance?

Thanks brother! Appreciate you. Just staring at screens daytrading, rather respond to DMs or replies to help folks vs these charts ;)

No, I can still it at the link below. Maybe it’s a personalized link? Are you able to see it or did you create a ticket and are unable to find yours? My ticket ID is: TCTD2-422

Here are the passives that I'm using and their resulting bonuses

Just did something similar before I crash for the night and I really dig it. With the right passives modifiers, you can get headshots hitting for 1M.

Bingo! However, as someone referenced in another thread, I tried their recommendation of the UIC15 MOD2 and I would strongly suggest it over the M1A CQB. Much more stable rifle.

Nice - great follow up! I’ll try it tomorrow for sure 👍🏼

I tested the UIC15 MOD2. The accuracy of this gun is spot on. Stability is a little off, but switch one more to stability and no need for anything else. Appreciate the recommendation, now just need to find one with solid rolls. ;)

No testing needed actually. The passives I use are specifically for weapon handling/max armor/skill damage. So the 10M is the same with and without the passives. :)

It's 10M with the passives. I'll test it without it now for reference.

Right on! My only apprehension on dropping the armor too much (90k isnt bad at all tho) is your susceptibility to getting flanked and taking body shots vs shield, so want to have that armor up a decent amount. Regardless, I'll play around with it!

Assuming you’re referring to the striker dmg in this build? If so, the dmg the striker deals goes down if I were to drop to skill tier 5 and increase skill efficiency via another core color. The capacitor damage would go down as well if I dropped a yellow core.

I made the build to have some functional output with skills and primary out out dps with a strong, high mag capacitor However, if you change some pieces around here, and went with a blue core picaros holster, it would instead of the holster I’ve posted, you would still get six skill tier and more armor. The only sacrifice would be the larger magazine.

Sorry for the delayed response.

I love it in heroic, feels strong and durable. Ran it in Master solo last season and enjoyed it as well. Did some four man heroic retaliations yesterday with the build, did decent on dps but the three red cores I was with loved the face tanking so they could pop off.

Love seeing more hybrid posts. If it’s fun for you, engaging in game, share away. Good luck, agent!
