Started playing it again the last few days and starting to get a bit more into it now. But I am really a complete novice and just trying to get my head around everything. Anyone got any tips for a complete newbie at this game

Do the Benitez mission asap as you get an xp boost once you complete that. Can't remember exact details but give it a Google and you'll get them. Also, this game really punishes you for straying into levels and missions that are even slightly above your current level so don't stray too far ahead of yourself or it'll get very frustrating very quick. There's so much to learn about builds and that once your done the story missions and loads of advice on here. Enjoy the grind.

A single gold weapon that I dismantled straight away, absolute waste. Only gonna open superior in future. Do ge credits transfer from one event to another?

mossym wrote: » i have a responsive showstopper. there are better shotguns you could look for skerry. sasg hits much harder. plus, you need to consider if running a shot gun as secondary is your best bet. i don't. it's a 50/50 gun, if you hit you get loads of stacks up really quckly. but if you miss you can lose all your stacks very quickly too. shotgun means getting very close to the enemy too. i'm a more assault rifle kind of guy, even back when m1a/aug or vector was the meta i had an AR. all depends on how you like to roll,up close and personal or from a distance. personally i'm farming a house to run as my secondoary to my LVOA on my 6 piece striker
skerry wrote: » Pretty sure I have a coupe of SASG I'll chekc rolls. Not a big shotgun user generally (in any game) but showstopper was a must this weekend. Was running my LVOAC with an SMG as secondary all along so must see how that works with Striker as I ditched that once I got showstopper. Hoping to pick up a nice AR with predatory as it's supposed to compensate for not having more stamina on my striker build. Might hit you up during the week for house farming if your looking for teammate who's not as squishy as last session. Would like to see what the fuss is about and wouldn't mind picking up a couple of exotics before the weekend.

Zero-Cool wrote: » That's something I haven't given thought to yet but really have to, builds. I have loads of gear sets, not usre if I have a full set but never looked into the stats with each, just what had the highest score (and highest health mostly). Will need to go through them and find what suits my playstyle.melted the enemies, definitely the way to go over solo.
gimli2112 wrote: » There's definitely top tier builds and those that aren't so great. I'd put Nomad, Striker, D3FNC and Reclaimer in the top tier but some of this is personal preference. Sentry/Hunter's faith are very good if you're a sniper and capable of hitting headshots. Final Measure is a top tier set in a team. There's no bad set except maybe Alphabridge which is wrong on so many levels but can be fun and the 6th piece of Tactician and Firecrest are poor.
