Forum Asshole
So you just hit level 30. You beat the final mission. Got yourself your first high end gun. You feel like a badass. 

You notice there are several things to do after you win and beat the final mission, you could go into the dark zone! However you decide against it due to some crybaby BS post. So you start looking at your map and you see it..

DAILY MISSIONS

Feeling like the badass you aren't, you go screaming into challenging mode. Where you suddenly realize the horrible mistake and shit your pants. You then go cry into the forums about how impossible it is to do, that it is too hard blah blah blah. Shut up. I'll tell you now it's not. Its very doable. I have been through over a dozen challange mode engagements, and I lived didn't I?

" So Mr Mr Mr odst, how do I do it"

First off turd its Matt. Don't freaking call me Mr. I'll pt you till you die. And I'll explain. Now please bear with me, I'm on my phone and tablet while doing this. Freaking tablet needing charging so it'll be a little bit till I can add photos. Computer is fried, so deal with it. So let's get down to the down and dirty.

First off, the number one thing to consider is your team. You need to know their playstyles, what they are running. What role will they be playing. Typically, this is how my squad and I set up.

2 High DPS - You need a couple of people who can do a lot of damage real fast and in a hurry. These guys have a high damage per second and have high stamina so they can stay in the fight. This is the role i play all the time. I'll post my load out talents, whatever in a different post and link it here later.

The Medic - this is the guy keeping you alive. He needs High stamina and High electronics.

The Tank - This is the guy who is drawing incoming direct and indirect fire. His job is to keep the enemies pissed the hell off at him. Because he is taking so much fire, he needs very high stamina.

Now after describing their jobs, I'll go into more detail on them. Up first..

The badasses (aka: DPS Muscle):     Now these guys can use any gun they want. I don't care, they just need to be able to do a lot of damage with them. A good weapon for them to use are either SMGs, LMGs or Marksman rifles. Yes I left out assualt rifles, I know. They are good weapons and some can DL a lot of damage, however they just aren't like the ones above. 

SMG- These bullet hosers have a built it critical chance into them. They can range from 20%-30%. If it is any higher than that, chip in and I'll change it and will give you credit. They are very stable and can be very accurate at close ranges. Which is very good for the rushers, I'll explain them later.

LMGs- These spray and prayers are a work horse. Not only do they come withbalotnof ammo they can cause a lot of damage real nice if modded right. They are perfect for extended suppressing fire of annoying dicks. Be careful though, if you go completely crazy with her she'll bounce all over the place. That's why stability mods are a must. Perfect for heavies and the final boss enemies. Did I say they were great suppressing tools?

Marksman Rifles- these babies, they can reach out and touch your girlfriend, mother and boyfriend all at once. These guys cause a lot of damage and hit freaking hard. Perfect for taking on the role of counter sniping. At least one person needs one of these, who? Don't care..but it should be used by a badass for best effect.

So why did I leave out the assualt rifle? While it is true I love the hell out of the M4, it just doesn't have the rounds and damage to punch. Yes there are a couple that can do a good bit of damage. However the most you can slam into your mag is around 60 if you have a 100%+ mag mod. Yes SMGs are lower, but the critical chance man..trust me..you don't want this guy getting close to you..


Now when it comes down to the badasses, they are set up in an usual way. Least I have mine set up like that.  So let's talk talents about these guys shall we, now in will tell you how I have set mine up. Not trying to tell you what to do..well..yeah..I kinda am. Why, this works for me and I love the set up.

So let's talk talents, you have none. Your singing blows and so does your mouth girl scout. In all seriousness and joking aside, I'll have pictures up with the talents that I recommend for the badasses. Once smart glass catches up that is...

Same as above for skills.

The Meat Shield, (The Tank)-

This guy is your solution to most of your rusher problems. He is the guy who can take the hits but fights like a girl.

TO BE CONTINUED, errands..damn
