Man... It must be rough out there in the new DZ201+

[RogueGuy]

Went to go into the DZ06 201+ for the 1st time after the patch hit to check out the new loot and this happened as I was about to enter... It must be rough out there!! Needless to say I turned around and high tailed it! ;D. Have any of you guys braved 201+ DZ06 yet?

Enemies are tough, but manageable with the new sets/bonuses. At least on PS4, players seem to be pretty relaxed about all the new changes, working together more in uneasy alliances to down what they want to down without an over abundance of rogues.

 

[HHHope]

It's tough. But it should be , you actually feel rewarded 

 

[MichFan]

Running solo in DZ06 is pretty much not an option any more. However as @HHHopesaid the rewards are worth the fight now and that is exactly how it should be. 

No longer do you have to worry so much about the shot gun and snipers as much as you need to worry about the Cleaners now. They have now become my nightmare lol. 

 

[fewcm]

No doubt! Those flame thrower bosses are melting whole squads! I like the DZ challenge mode

 

[HHHope]

It's insane up there. The cleaners are a nightmare. Extractions need to be strategic. There is actually some thinking now. Huge fan 

 

[RogueGuy]

Awesome! I'll have to grab my squad and see what happens. Sounds like a lot of fun

 

[HHHope]

And those caches are wilddd

Glad to see a lot of positive feedback on this update. While a lot of us were complaining about it, the update certainly brought the game to a whole new level. 

 

[Oh. daesu]

I'm a babe in the woods again. gs193 in the gs201+. soloing, forget about it. though once I team up, remember to be less aggressive, due to the squishy factor. I get REAL gear.

 

[HHHope]

I refuse to complain about it. The Devs are doing nothing but giving us good content. The made the PVP world a war zone with the ropes and added extraction time. They gave all kinds of stuff to the PVE community. There's nothin to complain about! I love the direction it's headed.

Nothing negative from me, I'm also highlighting that this is ... another ... FREE content patch. Honestly the first free content patch was .... unsurprising ... we got a mission and some fixes but nothing else. This one though... we get a major mission, HEAPS of content and mission after mission after mission... you can't argue with that value can you?

What they need to ensure is that the PAID content updates are pretty much flawless or make sure they hot patch any errors immediately they become apparent.

Nothing beats the unity for everyone's benefit.

Everybody wins. Everybody go home happy.

Get the 2 piece final measure bonus +50% exotic damage resilience, sure that will help dealing with the flamethrowers from the cleaners?

I have got the 2 piece bonus (240 chest and 214 gloves) also have my toughness at like 358k with 74.8% damage mitigation  from Armor. Don't pack a big punch but I am fairly tanky. Your DPS is 0 when you're dead haha

 

[HHHope]

^ that's tanky af. I have the 2 peice on right now haven't been up to see the cleaners with it. I'm at about 70% middy and I think 297 toughness. But I hit somewhat hard haha.

I feel like this is going to be the new way to roll in the DZ even in PVP as most people will now be rolling with a squad so focus firing will still drop other agents quickly. The high DPS and lower Toughness builds just are not going to work with the NPCs hitting as hard as they do combined with other agents shooting as well. 

 

[HHHope]

Oh,So you think darkness is your ally?But you merely adopted the dark.I was born in it,molded by it.I didn't see the light until I was already a man,By then to me it was only blinding.The shadows betray you because they belong to me.

I think you are right.  Tilting your build to high damage over durability is going to get you killed in 201+.  I was there last night and my gear score is 182, but I am fairly balanced.  It was a FUN challenge, especially when we took down the boss in The Pit and I ended up with a 240 set item.

I tried to lone wolf it last night. I'm new to the 201+ gear score and didn't fair so well. I'm only running 177,00 DPS and my toughness is a paltry 156,000. I haven't gotten generous drops in the past and crafting and rerolling has only gone so far. Looks like I will have to try and work in the PvE areas first to try and get some gear to roll in this new bracket.

Played a few solo HVT's last night and before finishing up i decided on going to the DZ. I match made and linked up with 3 guys in DZ06. they were 204, 210 and 215 GS (or similar) I had been playing with my GS score and forgot I still had 204 gear in my inventory, but much lower equipped, I was not well set up, so here i am in the 201+ DZ with a GS of 170!

admittedly i haven't played a lot of DZ, but it was a bit late to try to re-equip so i just went with it. 

we played for about 45 mins and i had so many awesome drops! I even had to de construct some Golds to make room for better golds! didn't even bother with purples! very rare for me. 

The DZ was awesome, the guys worked well as a team ( after the extraction incident below i now realise they were on a private chat) and i just tried to avoid being killed and help out where I could. i took a couple of level ups and found the safe house. all great.

we finally decided to extract and went to the roof top on DZ 5 or 6? killed the mobs and called in the extraction. 

while crouching down in an extraction zone 5 seconds from coming in and no mobs around I wondered why one of the guys pulsed? just as I saw him raise his gun i hit my shield skill and started to run.

1 step later i was mown down with a grenade/shot gun combo.

1 then watched the 3 of them extract their gear and then pick mine up and extract it too.

Basically i had just spent 45 minutes being their mule or portable DZ gear slot which faithfully followed them around for extraction.

was i bitter. hell no. i had a great time and really was way under powered to even be in DZ06 in the 201+ . mobs and bosses were super tough but had a great time. I logged off after that and spent at LEAST an hour kicking myself for not realising the potential of what happened.

live and learn.
