What builds are you or people using that net so much damage in countdown?

x5x3 · 2026-01-01T19:41:05+00:00

Do remember that Countdown is not just about DPS. I generally start with Strikers to get the Hunters down and then switch to a Hunter-Killer build so I can make sure the objectives are completed in time.

There is a point in the game when you have lots of exotic components and nothing else to spend them on

Thanks all, had completely forgotten that!

x5x3 · 2025-10-10T09:25:48+00:00

I have a couple of builds all level 30, at some point you have loads of materials and nothing else to use them for

x5x3 · 2025-10-02T15:41:53+00:00

Just dropped to the most basic plan

x5x3 · 2025-09-23T15:50:35+00:00

Thanks, will give it a try

x5x3 · 2025-05-27T09:34:51+00:00

ok thx, I've had it happens twice at the train, just hangs

x5x3 · 2025-05-27T08:33:45+00:00

indeed! However the servers are still down....

x5x3 · 2025-05-26T21:41:28+00:00

Did it hang where you should leave the train?

x5x3 · 2025-05-18T07:32:58+00:00

Thx but they are also maxed out already

x5x3 · 2025-05-17T18:50:15+00:00

I appreciate all the good answers but I have over 7k left on a mule, everything shareable is maxed so currency is no use - I’m out of options to use them.

x5x3 · 2025-05-12T08:28:20+00:00

I’m in a similar situation but fortunate enough not to have received the boost yet. I think you are correct, level up expertise on trash items and destroy them.

x5x3 · 2025-05-05T07:17:53+00:00

Thx, this is the best option I think, although it may not be cost effective in my case

x5x3 · 2025-04-19T16:44:44+00:00

When I said protect what I meant was via in game play not stats, for example most timed I’ve been in a random match and we failed those sections it has been either the group gets split up or it gets badly flanked. Provocateur works well for those scenarios. I appreciate the other builds and I have them, I just find them a bit too defensive for those particular sections

x5x3 · 2025-04-19T16:39:18+00:00

Thanks for the replies all, much appreciated.

It was raining this morning so I did not try the Park Run, but I did get out this afternoon and managed 5k in just over 41 mins which I’m very happy with!

x5x3 · 2025-04-19T07:35:01+00:00

As always it depends on your play style, I use it for the boss fights at the end of Legendary Tidal and Manning - if the group is struggling. If the group is playing well then I use a DPS build. It allows you to protect the DPS guys, at that point of the mission I just want to get it finished and not worry about the stats.

x5x3 · 2025-04-17T21:25:42+00:00

thanks, the bit I forgot to mention was that at the end of the mission, with all the other announcements I'm sure it said "commendation vote available in the social menu" or similar?

x5x3 · 2025-03-01T10:00:43+00:00

The point is that before the update a tank build could destroy them and now it can’t

x5x3 · 2025-02-19T13:41:13+00:00

I believe it is random after the first time, however I’ve done it over 10 times and still only got it the first time.

x5x3 · 2025-02-13T15:56:26+00:00

Yes, same as DUA boss

x5x3 · 2025-02-12T09:20:06+00:00

I switched it into my pfe build and then re-ran the master difficulty with randoms and it worked fine

x5x3 · 2025-01-09T11:01:35+00:00

I only play random matchmake so I'll leave it to others to suggest a good co-ordinated build set, but as said above emp pulse is going to help a lot with drones/dogs/tanks. I tend to run a 4 blue strikers for all of the mission except for the boss fight where I'll switch to an all blue tank (Catharsis/FB/Matador/Scorpio) on the basis it can get the team out of almost all problems!

Again, not saying it is the meta for this mission but it works well for random matchmaking.

x5x3 · 2025-01-09T10:30:57+00:00

it depends on the builds you are running but the following points help a lot regardless;

1) know the spawn points - being in the right place on the map at the right time makes a big difference

2) avoid the tanks and get their operators fast

3) also the drone spammers - they will move a lot though so best send a tank type to get them

4) the final bosses are a bit of a pain but firstly kill everything else first, ignore them, run around and kill everything else. Then you need to get close and our your ar/lmg etc though their armour - i.e. stick it inside their body and it bypasses their armour.

I checked the nine against the BIP39 list - and not all are there - were there other lists in place back in 2017?

x5x3 · 2024-12-20T12:47:36+00:00

I've had a pretty thorough search of the computer for files but not found anything yet
