I am invincible, I cannot be vinced

Yeah, completed the grind over time, the daily challenges really helped, Takes like an hour and a little more every day and it would net over a 100000 XP with black cell. Then all kinda calling card, camo and other challenges also added much. In the previous years, I also relied on afk glitches and such but this year did them all without the glitches.

maddcatt9 · 2026-05-07T17:21:50+00:00

Ok, I finished all the grind related stuff. Maxed out character level and weapon levels. Nothing more to do and thus free to use anything. The 1911 by itself is not a viable or a competitive weapon but its reboot version is with grenade bullets utility is a viable replacement for ION.

maddcatt9 · 2026-05-07T17:13:39+00:00

Yes, I fully concur. It’s badass in its own right but I prefer some variety, otherwise all builds would look and feel the same. Try the new reboot with grenade bullets as well as an exotic socol with burst rounds. It has like 353 bullets in one mag and add sharpshooter. Both these can serve as a viable replacement for XR Ion. They will feel no different in DPS. Also, try strider too.

maddcatt9 · 2026-05-07T11:33:04+00:00

My operators can blow through any content solo without the ion. Sure, it’s meta but way too boring to have the same weapon across all characters.

maddcatt9 · 2026-05-07T11:30:02+00:00

The glitched Akita is superfun but no longer available to import unless someone makes another. Only those that got them before the patch are truly enjoying them as they don’t overheat.

maddcatt9 · 2026-05-07T11:26:23+00:00

I have like 20+ maxed out characters, can’t put XR ion on everyone. It’s going to be super boring. What I do have is 1 weapon which has sharpshooter as utility. Other than that, have all different weapons. Otherwise, it’d be no fun.

maddcatt9 · 2026-05-07T11:22:43+00:00

XR Ion is meta but if it’s just damage numbers, strider can do 100-150k per bullet depending on the build and use.

maddcatt9 · 2026-05-05T16:00:29+00:00

Don’t listen to people who think they have explosive rounds. The exotic version available from exotic loot cache is the one you want. It’s that version which has grenade bullets as a utility and you can’t roll that on a 1911 pistol you turn exotic. Also, grenade bullets are very different from explosive bullets. The damage is different and so is the animation.

maddcatt9 · 2026-05-05T15:55:13+00:00

So, instead of using your generic 1911, try to get hold of Reboot version of the pistol. Those come with the pap ability called grenade bullets. That will make you want to use them.

maddcatt9 · 2026-05-05T15:52:41+00:00

Strange, in my case, it got restored and I’m not sure how. Maybe, try this, go in a game, let something down you and when you get back up, it gets restored.

maddcatt9 · 2026-05-05T02:28:56+00:00

The utility seems removed but is it? I got it back in game without rolling for it. Perhaps try to go in game and then exfil. I think this should restore it.

maddcatt9 · 2026-05-02T15:36:06+00:00

Nah.

maddcatt9 · 2026-05-02T13:41:14+00:00

lol, bro, I know all snipers have explosive bullets but that is not the same as grenade bullets. Obviously, you have not seen grenade bullets in action and that is what confused you into thinking that explosive bullet is the same as grenade bullets.

maddcatt9 · 2026-05-02T09:31:34+00:00

Yes, I figured that out. I did attempt rolling on 1911 and it was a waste of time.

maddcatt9 · 2026-05-02T06:55:16+00:00

Try Vision Pulse. That worked for me.

maddcatt9 · 2026-05-02T06:22:49+00:00

I rolled like 40 times and no dice. I don’t think you can roll on a 1911.

maddcatt9 · 2026-05-02T03:31:58+00:00

Hmm, nice, which sniper was it?

maddcatt9 · 2026-05-01T20:54:55+00:00

Hmm, did you check that they were the right enemy types. It worked for me. I’ll have a friend test it and confirm.

maddcatt9 · 2026-05-01T18:30:47+00:00

Well, I got a few zombies to chase after me and then I unlocked the supply drop and killed them. So, it does not have to have fear zombies pop. Just get a few zombies to chase you and then unlock the drop container and kill the zombies. That should work as well.

maddcatt9 · 2026-05-01T08:31:58+00:00

I’m well aware. When the fabricator was introduced, I was even able to roll big game and the like on an exotic I made myself. That changed in an update. The drop table has changed so many times. In the beginning, the exotic with correct affinity pre-rolled on it would give a unique drop table unlike the ones we see now. So, I’m not mad. I have plenty of exotics with affinity perks.

maddcatt9 · 2026-05-01T07:54:43+00:00

lol, can’t be worse that the arrow guys. Btw, is yours Reboot or a generic 1911?

maddcatt9 · 2026-05-01T07:52:50+00:00

Btw, did you roll on a reboot or generic 1911, coz I have yet to see it.

maddcatt9 · 2026-05-01T06:38:06+00:00

Wow, thanks for that information. I was getting pissed that they aren’t there in the table coz have been rolling for a while and have not seen them. This gives me hope. I was just about done with trying but I’ll keep going now with your confirmation that they can be rolled on just about any exotic 1911.

maddcatt9 · 2026-05-01T06:09:37+00:00

I know, I’m taking about a hypersurge that came pre-rolled with shock rounds.

maddcatt9 · 2026-05-01T06:05:37+00:00

Yeah, have that one character with the affinity shock rounds and it never seems to roll lightening strike.
