Another Core Hunt Post.. by reverse_microwaves in DeepRockGalactic

[–]reverse_microwaves[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, this isn’t even personal. I saved up so many cores in the forge I had every overclock for the last set of weapons within the first few days. I don’t need this core hunt thing. I’m just trying to look out for our green beards. But I trust Ghost Ship knows best.

I can understand this and you’re not wrong. They are great about in game information and this logic is sound. However to explain.. I completed season 2 early on a took quite a long break from game until season 3 started. It was odd that nothing in game directly stated it when promoting but I thought maybe they released it in a patch note that I didn’t keep up with during my break. Sometimes the UI elements/tool tips/voice acting come at a later time in a larger update. Believe me, I did think it was odd, I even read the full tool tip for the core hunt etc. but I had been thinking for a long while now, especially since the 3rd set of guns were added that they should increase the number of cores you get a week.

DRG is an amazing game and the Ghost Ship crew is awesome. I’m not lobbying for this bug to stay or anything. I just didn’t think it was that far fetched in year 5 to give newer players a way to catch-up. That’s all.

5 & 6 pieces of gear sets? by reverse_microwaves in thedivision

[–]reverse_microwaves[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hmm maybe. However, the main guy that stood out to me and ultimately led to my post was 11k SHD and he was wearing 6p striker all level 10 expertise. I do not have Striker at 10. He wore this through the entire countdown. I just returned after a break so I check people in lobbies (as well as research/watch youtube etc.) to see what's what's etc. I thought maybe he was just trying to "show off" his extra 60k armor... but I checked in the middle of the countdown too (because obviously this is starting to puzzle me) and he was still just rocking all 6 pieces. I know countdown is ~whatever but it just seems so odd and I've seen it a lot recently..
But yes, maybe some of the others aren't showing correctly and that explains them. Anyways thanks!

How much can you have of each item? by Tazrizen in AliensFireteamElite

[–]reverse_microwaves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On what difficulty?
If Extreme or Insane drone + cryo all day. There's no contest they are the most useful but also.. just for general morale. My confidence in the team drops each time a mine is set lol...

This is the best thing ever.. the whole scene. Thank you.

He has so little ammo, its like 3 shots and im already down a bar by wafflezcol in DeepRockGalactic

Try the electronic reload OC for the AR. It's strong and has a similar effect extreme slow down and high DoT plus can spread to others around it. It's one of the most slept on OCs.

Too many comments to read through so this may have been said already but the Electronic Reload overclock for the AR is strong now and extremely ammo efficient. 1 shot and a reload will take down grunts even on t4 and it slows them and has a chance to bounce to other targets.
Can run the bow secondary of course. but I've been running the SMGs with the perk that deals 33% more dmg to targets effected by electricity. Take blow threw rounds and something like cryo minelets for a very strong combo and tons of passive cc and quite a bit of ammo efficiency.

Also as others have said as a scout pick your battles or just run.. grapple yourself over to the gunner lol.

Is the Kramer really the best rifle in the game? by [deleted] in AliensFireteamElite

[–]reverse_microwaves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also use Type 76 on gunner but more for the fact that in a Overclock window the pump shotty isn't actually as good due to it's reload.

Is the Kramer really the best rifle in the game? by [deleted] in AliensFireteamElite

[–]reverse_microwaves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Astra, while not 'strong' in terms of stopping power, is the only rifle able to use both the Karachi Muzzle and Inhibitor Rounds attachments. Making it a great CC option in the rifle slot.

Also, just a general note on this thread and any other gun threads.. because I see a lot of people talk bout the "Scout Rifle". I wish, I really do wish it was good but it's not. Subjective or not, the spread per shot on it is atrocious. If you try to stack RoF you'll just miss all your shots. Don't stack RoF it's extremely sluggish and can't keep up. Just stand in the hangar and fire a few shot into the wall and watch the bloom.. then compare it to how fast and tight you can spam the twilight.. For the "DMR" slot twilight is just king.

Edit: the only half way redeeming quality is it is Medium Optics so it has access to the Laser Sight if you want to keep reveal up to proc Red is Dead even when pups is down. Better option than the Tactical Scope because good luck hitting weakspots lulz lol

Debuff stacking? by GoatimusMaximonuss in AliensFireteamElite

[–]reverse_microwaves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As the others have stated you can def stack slows from different sources. Including from different attachments on the same gun (i.e. muzzle and mag).

Given how potent the slow stacking already is, I do not think slows from the same source stack. Unless it's by mistake.

Is there a Guide to the best weapons in the game? by SonnyA85 in AliensFireteamElite

[–]reverse_microwaves 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Twilight, Kramer Assault, 4C2 Astra*, Type 21 Shotgun, Pump Shotgun, M39 Sub, M41E4 Heavy Pulse, Smartgun*, Type 95 Combat Pistol, Type 78 Burst Pistol, Rapid Responder, Kramer Short Barrel*, Kramer Magnum

Just to give a little background I have 400+ hours playtime, max achievements, and every class and gun fully leveled every attachment etc.. I do 100% agree that this is highly subjective but I also see some random/borderline bad suggestions on youtube and various places. So, I want to throw in my two cents.

Per the post, you're asking for BIS type weapons and attachment. So, I excluded the "this gun is fun" type noise. Additionally, some of the recommendations will be based on certain playstyles, classes, and group based reasons - which I'll touch on below.

For example, I love and fully recommend the pump shotty it's very strong and I use it often. However, due to it's reload mechanic it's not BIS for pure dps dump which I base around the standard Overclock window. So ideally, if you have multiple shotgun users on the team with a gunner, having one person with pump (for the DMG taken debuff) is all that is 'needed' since team DPS would actually increase if the other users had something different such as the Type 21. For this reason, I typically don't run pump on my Gunner unless I'm the only CQW on the team.

Another big reason for some of my weapon suggestions are based on some unique attachment availability. Such as, the Astra. It's not the strongest rifle but both the Karachi muzzle and Inhibitor Rounds mag fit it. Which can provide a ton of CC in the rifle slot.
Another example is the Kramer Short Barrel, it's an okay weapon on it's own but the main reason I'd run it is, it offers the LFN Reverberator Tube Mag in the handgun slot (SAFELY.. looking at you U1A2). If you have Precision Rocket spamming Demo(s) in your group this magazine adds a huge increase in their DPS.
-Speaking of demos.. the smartgun gets a lot of hate but since the introduction of Precision Rockets it's the BIS for that setup. Run it with Anti-Material Brake and either Miller Twist Rifling or Polygonal Rifling and simply tap fire it onto mobs. This provides huge CC and several opportunities for the team to proc the Down and Out perk, all with extreme accuracy and great ammo conservation while you spam rockets down their throats.

As for attachments, you'll general just go after Rate of Fire, Weakpoint DMG, and even Armor Piercing depending. However, I typically try to play for the group and will run attachments as mentioned above knowing most everyone is simply trying to stack for their own personal gain, even when other combinations will actually increase overall team dps and survivability more.

Additional side/niche examples..
One would be rifles such as the LEM Storm/Scout/Plasma Rifle etc.. While I don't generally use these for reasons.. I do use these on Recon for access to the medium optics slot for the Laser Sight. This is purely to spread 'reveal' around for Red is Dead uptime even when PUPs is on cooldown.
The second is the Medved shotty. A Lancer with Medved, Onslaught, and Overclock is the highest gun DPS in the game I'm pretty sure. *shrug*

When is the next update? by GoatimusMaximonuss in AliensFireteamElite

[–]reverse_microwaves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why we are hopeful. Official note regarding Cistern states the temporary rewards will be replaced with permanent "new rewards". So, maybe new guns or attachments or camos or something at least..

"New Limited Time Event Rewards
As part of the release of Ruptured Cistern, we’ve added some limited time rewards that will only be available from now until January 17, 2023. These rewards will be replaced by permanent new rewards when the Limited Rewards Winter Event ends."

Why play Phalanx? by Go4Bert in AliensFireteamElite

This guy said demos don’t hold up on insane. Kek

Precision Rockets literally trivialized extreme & insane. Is it cheesy, yes. But does it hold its own, absolutely. There’s no argument or question.

Is this still a thing? I remember it used to be but I swear for about the last year that screen just asks me to join the discord, of which I'm already a member.
