    Woke up and did tidal basin this morning before I even got out of the bed. Super easy compared to the rest of the game IMO.

    They changed chem launcher to a double tap button to drop the heal. Very nearly got me killed, I didn't know what was going on :pac:

    I did notice that no special ammo was dropping for me alright......

    It was always double tap E for me to self heal?

    Yup. Looks like the non-drop fire style has changed in that first tap draws the launcher and 2nd fires, which I actually like, the amount of damage I've taken previously from delaying a split second between taps leading to my guy standing out of cover and wasting the shot at a distance....
    Cover movement is more Div1 style too I think, less gluey and more as intended.

    Been away for the week and just finished TD and am working up my GS again, sorry to see a nicely tuned marksman build go out the window but if nothing else it's Talent-banking for the next GS limit.

    2 special ammo in several games today.

    Most of the time I forget to chane specials at the white house for full ammo.

    I'm on 360 pad so it used to be just one tap of LB.

    I have it on Xbox as well and nearly sure it still double tap to self heal ":confused:

    it was one tap heal last week, the guy I'm playing with doesn't believe me either.
    my head is melted trying to work patience into my new build


  • Registered Users Posts: 29,601 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    For me, one tap and double tap did the same self heal. Now one tap takes out the chem launcher like equipping a gun that you have to aim and shoot.

    Has anyone fight the secret hunters yet for the their mask? Mad to get one but I'm guessing I need to be level 30 before even trying.

    Only had time to play one hour since new update and already gearscore 498 just from buying a few pieces from vendors then recalibrating a few of them which boosts their gearscore.
    Some lads in our clan playing all weekend and still only gearscore 475 or so, i log in for an hour an they are like WTF lol.
    Really should be patched out to be fair.

    I still mostly have wt4 best in slot because it's way better than most of the wt5 gear. A lot of the people with gs500 have horrible synergy and only equipping gear that is higher than what they have.
    It's well documented regarding the wt5 loot but basically gear only has a set amount of attributes to play around with and the gear in wt5 is being taken up by higher armour on pieces.. I'm selling kneepads that are gs500 and still wearing 450 because it's better. Only items unaffected by all this is weapons.
    Saying all that if you are able to buy a 490gs item off the bat from a vender it means every item that drops will potentially be higher than that item for that particular slot, pretty much giving you a leg up


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,407 ✭✭✭✭gimli2112


    ^ this is very true. I was initially obsessed with increasing the GS trying to ensure 500 drops, until I found out end game stuff (apparently) drops at 490-500. It was a real struggle.


    happy enough where I have the build now and now just tinkering, could be improved but it's a good base.

    I made a glass cannon, not really sure how it happened but I get downed a lot in WT5 :/

    everything seems to be a glass cannon at present. Cover is a lot more important in this one. I get killed attempting a basic supply drop out in the world. It was a massacre.
    Was doing a level 3 control point and triggered two other nearby events, it was absolute mayhem for about ten minutes. I lost count of the number of times we almost wiped.

    Yeah I love the AI will fight each other then see me and become best ****ing buddies and attack me.

    Noticed a lot of lag over the weekend and AI teleporting which doesn't help.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,407 ✭✭✭✭gimli2112


    yeah there was ton of connection issues over the weekend.

    there used to be graffiti on a wall outside a pub in Mary street I used drink in many years ago that said "Everything you know is wrong" Today I saw a video that pointed out there's a perk on the exotic shottie and pistol that reloads 25% of your magazine every time you roll.

    All I could think of was my LMG build and the graffiti.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,486 ✭✭✭ECO_Mental


    I'm only starting to now look at building a load out but still only GS476, Ive only managed to buy gear items above GS480 off the vendor, gear is only dropping for me at max 475. Anyway I don't think there is much of a difference. Decided to only re calibrate stuff 490 and above as the cost to re calibrate seems high and you cant re calibrate everything you will soon run short of mats.

    What I'm am building at the moment is around a backpack I have, that I moved a talent to that increases weapon damage by 25% when all your skills are on cool down....What I planning it to do is have the longest cool down skills as possible (Drone and turret) throw out at the same time and run them down. I have then about 200secs of 25% weapon damage increase ;). Planning to recal out all the cool down reduction perks also to maybe maximse this. Run this with an LMG and it takes down the big heavies easy as they are always out of cover...I have the Demo specialist so it makes sense to run the LMG but IM very unsure of the SMG as everybody here knows it is more a long range behind cover game now and it doesn't suit SMGs! IMO

    Well thats the plan anyway

    that's a fantastic talent. Is it not dependent on skill? I haven't really looked at it myself as I'm too dependent on the chem launcher heal. Now that I have patience back on the knee pads that talent could really work well with something like the heal drone/hive heal instead, if I can get it to work.

    The only thing you need it to work is you need to have 7 skill talents (the battery icon) so that might need a bit of working around.

    Im fully aware of this, im still running my GS450 berserk / crit AR build i highlighted with a short gameplay vid of one of the hardest solo challenge missions in the game a few pages back.
    I also still have my GS 450 Unstoppable force DMR build.

    The point of getting close to 500GS asap is from now on ill be getting GS500 items so i can now work on a proper GS500 build.
    There is no real point on working on a build until you are GS490+ because you will be replacing everything very quickly.
    WT5 is our endgame now for the forseeable future.
    Remember you dont have to wear your highest GS items, just equip them once and the game will them drop loot for your GS level so you can still go back to your GS450 build if you wish.


  • Registered Users Posts: 22,929 ✭✭✭✭ShadowHearth


    Guys, I did the Basin mission and unlocked wt5, but I can't get any gear over 450. My GS is 450 right now. Can't you get 450+ gear from control points and activities anymore?


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,407 ✭✭✭✭gimli2112


    Once your in WT5, WT5 loot should drop. You're only limited by your own GS, so if you are at 450, stuff should be dropping a little above that level.
    Go to a Vendor buy and equip some stuff which will raise you GS
    You don't need to do anything to unlock this once you're in WT5 that's it.

    The only thing I can think of is they randomized drops at the last patch. I'm at 500+ now and it drops in a range of 490-500

    You don't need to equip any new gear to improve your gs level drops, it's automatically scanning your inventory and stash, I literally didn't equip anything new till I got a gs475 weapon and I'm receiving gs500 items with a total gs477, still haven't equipped anything over gs490


  • Registered Users Posts: 940 ✭✭✭GHOST MGG


    Something im finding strange is im GS500 and out of about 60 drops i havent had one 500 piece of gear drop..its always 489-499..bloody frustrating

    Unlike wt4 were everything was 450, in wt5 it's made when you are at gs500 the range in which drops are valued at is 490 to 500.
    Community are pretty annoyed about it so maybe change in future


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 14,698 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dcully


    While im really enjoying the game right now its plain to see it has major issues.
    Most notably the loot system,its something they never really got right in division 1 either compared to other loot games.

    The new gear sets are totally useless and actually in practice nowhere near as good as your typical bog standard high end build because the inherent bonuses are absolutely terrible compared to high end gear talents like unstoppable force,berserk,clutch to name a few.
    They are pointless right now plus most of them appear to be broken.
    Add to that in its current state you simply cannot build a decent tank or skill based build, the net result is everyone running around with similar builds.
    Hopefully in time this will change but for now its very concerning as its almost identical to the way division 1 started out.

    Thinking about picking this up, wheres the cheapest to get it digitally on PS4?

    If you have a US account setup on your PS4, it is 60 dollars on the us psn store. You can buy 60 dollars psn credit for 53.40 euro below. Beats 70 quid on Irish psn. It's currently on sale physically in Ireland for 45 but might not be any use to ya :)

    You are better off getting on Irish store as dlc is tied to the purchasing account. So if you were to buy the year 1 pass, you would not get any of the dlc or early access tied to it on your Irish account. Something similar happened to me with the Crew 2. Bought the gold Edition on my Canadian account and all the preorder dlc and gold edition content were only available on the Canadian account. Alot of Ubisoft multiplayer games do the exact same thing.

    playing at relatively infrequent intervals due to busy at life, the last time I played before yesterday was about 2 weeks ago when I unlocked world tier 1 and the demolitions specialization. fired up last night and now theres no more special ammo dropping. I think I got to fire the launcher maybe 3 times total since I got it. feelsbadman.jpg

    the change to the chem launcher is infuriating, half the time it doesnt work, no matter how many times you tap the button. had a weird issue where my turret wouldn't deploy either, he just stood there with it in his hand, and no throwing arc appeared.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,407 ✭✭✭✭gimli2112


    yeah everytime you spawn in you'll do so with no special ammo and it drops extremely rarely. You have to go to the White Hose and equip another specialisation and requip the one you want to fill the ammo.


    The chem launcher heal works much better on PC now..... apparently. Screwed up on PS at least.

    Tried to complete a heroic bounty last night with Gs500s, its a BT squad on top of the building with the 3 masts.

    Actually insane, took us many goes due to them rushing us regardless of class.

    Gonna leave it for a bit, heavy chain guns lads rushing at you is a but mental. Location didnt help either.
