HVT questions

[Little Warfy]

Hi, I have a couple of questions around the HVTs.

1. Are the Gear set drops better from the Weekly or Daily HVTs (or is there no difference)

2. What Gear sets drop form the HVT's?

3. do the group mission suggested HVTs have better drops (specifically GS drops)

4. roughly what GS ( or primary DPS, toughness, skill) do you need to run the group suggested HVTs solo? Does anyone run them solo?

5. ( not a HVT question). Where can I get M1A drops? I have a couple but talents are rubbish and running Police academy nets me only 163 GS M1A.

thanks in advance.

1. Yes, there are

2. For some reason, most of the time it's Lone Star

3. Haven't been paying attention. I just loot junks and cool drops and take a look at it later on. That said, I totally unable to remember which and where they were came from.

4. I say above GS160 maybe? They come in waves. If you're not badass enough, then you should prepare a bottle of lube for your ass.

5. They are random, sir. If you want to grab many loots, then go to DZ. But do keep in mind for the pestilence in there as you'll waste more time compared to if you just join random missions.

Fully agree on 2 :12_slight_smile: .  I have a 4 piece of Lone Star now in my stash (214 & 191) unused  :8_laughing: .  I have got a 240 Predator holster as well though and some other set items but Lone Star seems to be more frequent.  Not finding any gear set armour or backpacks yet apart from the top two Weekly missions where they are the specific reward.  This is irritating as the BoO vendor does not sell any BPs for those two types of gear set items either.

The harder HVT give better loot.  The daily 5 intel ones usually give 182 / 191 items from what I have seen.  The 10 intel items give a better chance of 214 items.  The Weeklies tend to be quite a bit harder (hence higher phoenix reward or gear set pieces).  The volume of bad guys and the limited timer make having a group a requirement or you are likely to run out of ammo, time or life  :10_wink: .

I do the daily 5 & 10 intel HVTs on my own daily and they are like doing hard PvE missions (in enemy strength terms).  The higher ones can be a bit more of a challenge.  My DPS is around 180k, 220k toughness and GS of 199.  My week point is only using 182 weapons although they are fairly good rolls but not superb.  Teaming up with someone else will get us through all the dailies (2 person team) and lower tier weeklies but 3 -> 4 needed for the higher level weeklies at our level.

1) Off the top of my head, I feel daily's get you either a 182 HE or a 214 gear set with an additional chance to get a 191 gear set. The weekly gives you either a 204 HE or a 240 gear set with an additional chance at a 214 gear set. (my thought is that this is meant to level the playing field from all the people that abused the Falcon Lost.

2) 90% chance of whatever gearset drops, it is a Lone Star. I have gotten a Tactician backpack (twice), a hunters gloves and even some Striker gear as well.

3) You mean the weekly's? If so, go to 1)

4) Sorry... no idea. I don't bother with them solo. But the low and medium end daily's are pretty easy with a group of two.

5) I got mine from either DZ or HVT's. They are random. I use my First Wave M1A over my Classic M1A.

just to add to my questions on this.

I noticed last night that one of the safe houses had a critical S&D mission. I did it and it seemed to be a lot harder than the standard ones and dropped 6 intel points.

is this right (its harder) or was it just random it seemed harder?

Nothing I can confirm but the Critical S&D missions appear to be tier 2 missions (same as 2nd run on normal S&D's) and absolutely drop additional Intel credits. They may also be one-shot, meaning if you fail they either move to another safehouse or disappear similar to completed daily mission.
