How would you tell if you're at 75%?


Go to your gear screen, hit right bumper to go to stats screen. Scroll down, or hit right I the d pad 4 times, to get to the 'survivability' section. There will be a stat for armor that will say XX.XX% damage mitigation. You ideally want it to be 75%.

Someone on Reddit did the math awhile back, but the amount of stamina you'd need to compensate for each % below 75% armor is ridiculous. 75 is the max that you can get (before v1.2 it was 65%).

At full armor, enemies will only do 25% of their potential damage to you (which is still a freaking lot bc they made all the enemies way overpowered).

Wow. I had close to 500 extra armor than I needed to get to 75%. Time to recalibrate to add some points back to dps or skill.

If you had armor rolled to your backpack, switch that to skill power if possible. That will provide anywhere from 5000-7000 skill power. Armor on chest and holster are preferable as the other rolls aren't as necessary for those gear pieces.

I have it set up with armor on holster and chest.

If you are rank 50 in the DZ, buy the gear mod blueprints and try to roll armor or skill power based on whether you are near the armor cap or not.

Yeah, I played around with the pieces a bit and came to that same conclusion.

Also picked up a few more Firecrest pieces and am running a four piece combo with two final measure. I'm basically a cleaner with my incendiary seeker mine and the incendiary bullet perk. I may go back to less FC pieces later as I don't like how low it bumped my skill level (or I might replace some gear mods to get it back up), but it's a ton of fun causing that much mayhem.

i'm currently using 3 pc firecrest (mainly b/c i've only gotten one 268 sentry drop so far). i like the 100% reload speed. I don't see much utility in the 4 pc perk b/c the enemy HAS to be on fire, and YOU have to land the killing blow for it to proc.

I was watching some Twitch gameplay of the Deadeye set in PVP. It is very strong if you can at least hit the body. I have been wanting to build a set, but I have gotten nothing but 214 gear for it.

My Sentry/Final Measure set is just about done. I just need a 268 set of kneepads with a mod slot and I'm set.

Yeah, I ran through an UG mission with it on hard and it was pretty easy to keep the burnination rolling. When you entered a room, toss the seeker which lights several guys up, keep shooting to get the first kill and then you get the incendiary rounds which can light up your next target. Rinse, repeat. It works and is fun, but the drop to my skill power was pretty high (two of my pieces are 214 which doesn't help) so I'll most likely drop back down to the three piece set because the reload perk is very nice.

we had a group of 3 go rogue on us last night at an extraction. they bit off a little more than they could chew. I didn't see where the 3rd one went at the time, but after going back and watching, he managed to duck down the staircase and run his 19 sec timer out.

My FC/FM combo build is coming along better. Just need some better kneepads (these are 214) to bump it up a little more. The 268 blueprints aren't available until UG level 40 and I just hit 20 today.

Forgot about this little gem from several weeks back:

http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/Keester11/video/19429421

I'll figure out how to embed videos shortly.

Here's the GIF version anyway.

Whaaaa... I just cleared a supply drop containing multiple 268 gear and 229 weapons... Solo... On the main game map...

Edit - looks like bonus content for season pass holders twice a month on the 1st and 15th (paydays).

Yeah, I got it, but it's not a bug, it's apparently a surprise feature.

apparently this is for season pass holders. on the 1st and 15th of every month now, you'll get an in-world supply drop. I was unaware of this, i haven't played in a week, or even checked the division reddit

I got a sweet 229 AK that I'm trying out (but it'll be tough o top my G36 at this point) and two 268 Alphabridge pieces I'll probably never use.

Fyi - you get nothing for helping a group member clear their drops.

Heard they silent nerfed the G36. I'm probably going to quit playing. If they don't introduce the concepts of saved loadouts and PvP gear then I probably will just quit playing altogether. There's too many good games coming out and I need more incentive than what they have right now.

Don't quit dawg. I need your help to run the DZ.

Although, you're right - updates and new content has been pretty underwhelming so far.

I'll probably ride this one all the way until BF1 releases in October.

Did they get rid of the G36 all together or just scale it down?

Had this happen to me, too last night. I came out from underground and heard supply drop incoming and thought it was a glitch. I just decided to give it a try and got my gear.

So are we all done with this game? I play about once a week, but I started a new character and with the updates, playing the story is way better then when I started at games launch. However once I beat it again and get to Dark Zone it will most likely go back to being monotonous.

I haven't played in almost a month. It got dull after running through all the stuff over and over again. And starting a new character seems unenticing.

I'm still playing it somewhat regularly. Got a 2nd character to level 30 so I can take advantage of supply drops more. I still have fun running around and doing stuff on the game. Survival should come out next month which hopefully adds something more dynamic to the game. With all its flaws I still have fun with it and have hope that they will change some of the issues as they just got back from vacation.

We shall see what happens long term. Either way I have gotten more than my money's worth out of the game and enjoyment as well as a good introduction to these types of games and that I can enjoy them as I had never done this type of loot game before.

I'll tell myself I'll likely pick it back up when the DLC comes, but I don't think that will actually happen. With the Destiny expansion, Bioshock Collection, and Battlefield 1 + football season right around the corner I think I'm done. I had fun and got $70 worth of satisfaction out of it.

yeah, i just finished my moments of triumph for Destiny, and am now playing Iron Banner, trying to get my light level up before the expansion hits. I finally bought fallout 4 when it was on sale for $25 +$30 for all the DLC. So i'll start whittling away at that during lulls in between games. Also Titanfall 2 will be coming out this fall. I really have no idea when i'll jump back into the Division.
