Help any one

[Zedstar0]

Can any one help out what and how,  should you gear up when going solo dz loads od dps or health or armor???  And does the gear score make a difference in dz when rogue player has a higher gear score???

If you choose to treat the DZ as a PvE area and run around solo, no amount of gearing will truly save you. Either build you describe can and will get destroyed eventually.

For best results, group up...even if it's with randoms at a safehouse terminal.

Where do you go to use the matchmaking in the dz instead of pve area?  Been trying to use matchmaking but always seem to get attached on missions and stuff?

Safehouses. When you use the matchmaking terminal, you have the option to matchmake for pve runs, or the DZ.

I've heard this before, however, it tells me i can't, once i hit matchmake. Checkpoints work a treat for me though.

Does it tell you WHY you can't?

Because I'm in the dz.

Oh I see...I meant the ones out in the PvE world lol.

 

[Oh. daesu]

Lol i guess i misunderstood

back then, i was purposely entering the dz to make a dash to the safe house, so i could match faster. Only to then be forced to dash back to a checkpoint to try there.

I was easy meat for roaming ai, back then. So it was a nervous dash. :3_grin:

I typically matchmake for the DZ at the checkpoints.  When you pick the matchmaking option there, one of the 3 or 4 options is DZ.  Pick that and you should be fine.  

A note about that, when you matchmake, you'll join the world instance of the party leader and be teleported to the DZ safehouse that is nearest to your group.

To answer the original question I'd say go with the Armor and Stamina build. As you are hitting landmarks just try and get a shot on the boss right when you get there to ensure that even if other agents do show up you will still get the drop from the boss. Having the Armor and Stamina high allows you to duck and run if Agents do decide it is time to shoot at you. Learn the DZ map and know where the shortcuts, subway entrances, and ally ways are and use those to your advantage as you are running. Also use the pulse with scrambler mod to keep you off there pulse scans. 

The DZ is designed for group play, but I run almost every evening solo for a while and never seem to run into much of a problem. 

 

[Zedstar0]

That's my setup my armor is at 65

I would say that should be a fine setup to run SOLO in the DZ. I am currently at 210/95/13 with 65% mitigation. I run a 3 piece striker and then 3 HE pieces as I haven't found good enough items for the Sentry build to run them yet. Again since you run with a Marksman rifle, before engaging any other NPCs at landmarks try and find line of sight on the Names Enemy and hit him once, then you are golden. 

If you have to go solo vs. running in a group and see a large group of agents you can always just take off if you get that vibe that they are up to no good lol.

Melted 

 

[MichFan]

Or not ... anything 85k - 100k with 65% mitigation and you should have plenty of life with just one other person shooting at you to dive and maneuver around to stay alive. If you've got 4 players shooting at you and you're standing still then yes you will get melted. When being shot keep moving, not in a straight line, and use your dive often and staying alive is much easier then some around here seem.
