As someone who prefers to solo, it makes me happy to see that it is at least possible to do challenge mode. Also, thanks for showing your gear. I'm a fresh 30, so I'm very far behind in terms of equipment, and it will probably take a very long time to get to your level if I stick to solo.
+e1m7 Yeah, I'm the same. My gear is easily obtainable by doing some daily hard missions solo and crafting. But yeah it doesn't scale down so you would get phoenix credits faster by grouping for sure.
+ArkoIceland I've caught up to you in terms of gear now, but I have neither the bugged Reckless (+12.5% damage done, -10% damage taken) nor the bugged Rehabilitated (constant healing) gear talents that you have, which makes a huge difference. Everyone I've found that solos challenge mode relies on those, and I assume they will be fixed soon.
+e1m7 Yeah, I have done it multiple times now without that bug. Didn't even know about it when I made that video. But my gear is pretty much best in slot now. But yeah I like the challenge :) I find the most fun today to solo DZ05-06 and hunt some rogues. I have 90k health and 65% armor red. now and it makes you really tanky. I still have decent dps and I use bolt action sniper m44 for most pve. Kill most enemies in DZ05-06 in 2 headshots with it. But challenge mode enemies are actually harder then dz enemies for some reason. Have more hps and do more damage it seems.
+e1m7 Btw forgot to mention I found out why LMG seems to do more damage then the numbers say. What isn't said is that LMG's have 100% headshot damage base. For comparison SMG's have 50% headshot damage base. So if you stack headshot damage and have the headshot % talent on a LMG you actually do pretty good dps if you can hit the head. After further testing I found that SMG 50%, Rifles 75%, Shotguns 80% and LMG 100% and Marksmen Rifles are random up to about 165% I think on bolt actions. So if you want to test other weapons try to build around this fact.
+ArkoIceland Unfortunately I'm on PS4, so a strategy based on headshots will not work since you can't reliably aim with a controller. On the other hand, I do love my M1A, but in challenge mode I run out of ammo before I get to the first refill. I'm only up to 55% armor, and I've had to sacrifice a lot of crit to get even that far. Room to improve.
You really good ^^. I need some advise, I want to do challenge mode with my husband. We try lincoln but when we were on the tunnel we've got 5 rushers, we kills 2 but the others kills us. So my question is : is there another instance more easy for newbies ?
The first flash grenade they throw hits you. I stopped watching after that, obviously if anyone was safe (and bored) enough to do challenge mode solo, they could... it would just take ages... Match make another 3, you didnt "Show off" anything in this video, just wasted MORE time than you COULD have if you match made. I could have run 2 challenge modes in the time it took you to do one badly.
+JustWalkingMan This video wasn't about showing some epic plays. It was to show how LMG works compared to the other guns. I figured solo was the best way to demonstrate that. Obviously it will never be efficient to solo the same mobs that a group of 4 get. Challenge missions don't scale down for solo. p.s. I very often don't dodge flash grenades on purpose.
