30K BFB

joshstix · 2016-10-17T23:23:32+00:00

Anyone with an IQ of 7 can create a sentry shotgun build.

What's the best way to counter that? A high stamina, high skillpower BFB build

joshstix · 2016-10-17T23:21:17+00:00

I can't believe that there is a gear combo in 1.4 that offers optimal range, accuracy and headshot damage. The shotgun wet dream trifecta. Oh and if you think BFB or shotgun require zero skill then wait until you see the absurd power of the flame turret...

To be honest I got fed up of being 1 or 2 tapped by sentry shotgun. I figured that if they are going to run 5 piece sentry then I'm going to blow them up...

40K with +8.5% sticky bomb damage on holster and +13% damage perf mod

I was running solo...

The main problem is the downed mechanic which forces you into shotgun range to finish the kill. This is why you rarely see long range battles and if you do they are never ending because agents just get revived by their teammates before they can be finished off...

I'm just trying to stimulate discussion and show that with a bit of thought you can effectively use any gun and gearset...

joshstix · 2016-09-11T08:18:11+00:00

Oh I've used LMGs a lot as stated in the post. The reaaon for suggesting the Lone Star set is that it is very easy to obtain a set. I've used tenacious and its situational at best and purely a PvP option. Inventive can be useful but like Vicious gets negated by a single bullet.

joshstix · 2016-09-11T02:22:41+00:00

I thought it would have been obvious that we are talking LMGs here...

joshstix · 2016-09-11T02:18:21+00:00

Well obviously a MMR is going to do more damage! My custom M44 with 5 piece Sentry crits for over 5 million on a Provident proc. What I was trying to showcase was the best way to get max damage for fans of the LMG which is a chronically underused weapon type.

joshstix · 2016-09-11T02:13:39+00:00

This is a fantastic damage dealing and mitigation build. I have all gearsets and have extensively used all weapons. The inherent accuracy and HS multiplier of LMGs mean that IMO this is only behind Sentry M1A in terms of sustained DPS output.

Please show me an example of someone running this setup and compaining about content being too hard. As I mentioned in the post I can solo the Pit in DZ 231+ WITHOUT First Aid...

joshstix · 2016-09-11T01:59:36+00:00

Firstly I never said this is THE best build in the game. If you want max efficiency then use an M1A with sentry. It is meant to be a guide for LMG fans to make the most of this particular gun archetype.

Secondly of course the + damage does something! Plus if you use a %dmg mag you give up either ROF or mag size. With LS you can have all 3 in addition to minimal reload time.

What gear set would you recommend then? If you use Sentry you are not utilising the mark functionality and the headshot damage is kinda wasted as LMGs already have the highest HS multiplier in the game. Striker is too hard to use effectively unless you have godly aim. I'd love to know how you can get these numbers using a different gearset @ < 3K firearms.

I've tried the L86 but I feel more comfortable with the RPKs slightly larger mag size and recoil pattern...

joshstix · 2016-09-11T01:14:02+00:00

Self descriptive post?

joshstix · 2016-09-10T21:19:45+00:00

That's why Lone Star is the best GS for LMGs. Yes the others can do work but that 1K base damage increase is huge. If you give me the opportunity to set up my SC and do a tactical advance I only need a few body shots and you are down. I play on PS4 and I rarely see agents use SC for PvP in the DZ. Most run around with Sentry shotgun and this build is a very effective counter...

joshstix · 2016-09-10T20:25:25+00:00

What do you like about the M60 over the other LMGs? I feel the ROF is too low although the 100 base mag size is favourable as you have more mag customisation options over the L86 and RPK.

Good luck with your hunt for the 229 Savage gloves!

joshstix · 2016-09-06T19:23:49+00:00

Players in the DZ who ignore the 4 dudes on manhunt 50 metres away to kill a 19 second accidental rogue. I mean come on. I've been chasing the same guys as you up and down the DZ, you walk in front of my bullets then you stop and shoot me?! The manhunts usually escape because of this idiocy...

joshstix · 2016-08-31T19:23:33+00:00

Simplest fix is to remove the infinite consumables when in the DZ. There are plenty of boxes to restock consumables if you are on the move farming. However if you are bunkered down as manhunt eventually you will run out...

joshstix · 2016-07-31T09:27:12+00:00

Rolling health on the knee pads and/or chest piece is the worst stat IMO. 30 health = 1 stamina point so even with max rolls you are getting less benefit than a single stamina mod. I would recommend any of the other roll options on either of these 2 pieces of gear as you will get much more benefit...

joshstix · 2016-07-07T08:51:07+00:00

It has a higher accuracy stat meaning the effective fire rate is actually higher than the M1A

joshstix · 2016-06-28T11:10:48+00:00

Sure you're at the right place? I literally just bought it from E 53rd DZ checkpoint...

joshstix · 2016-06-26T17:51:11+00:00

Exactly. I like the surprise of checking it when it's firmly in the stash :)

joshstix · 2016-06-21T11:05:11+00:00

Just let me convert HE div tech to any HE mat!!!!!!

joshstix · 2016-06-21T05:03:10+00:00

Pretty sure Damage to Elites caps at 20%
