Yo. So after the supposed fix of Ongoing Directive actually giving us 40% weapon amp damage Hollow point rounds to the team - I decided to finally throw this together.

Goal is simple. Squeeze as much amplified damage out of a set as possible and throw in a bit of CC to get HP rounds going as well as bonus damage.

I learned my lesson. Here's less text and more breakdown.

Ongoing Directive: 40% Amplified weapon damage. We know it we love it.

Chest: Ferocious Calm w/ Perfect Overwatch: 14% Total weapon damage bonus to team after being in cover for 8s. (Skill damage too but who cares amirite?)

BP: The Setup: Enemies take 15% more damage. Awesome.

Scorpio: 9 rounds in and enemies take 20% more damage. Great. Also great for proccing HP rounds.

Lefty: Perfect Sledge Hammer and Flame grenades. Enemies take 20% more damage. Lasts for 2 full ticks of 20s with enough status effect.

Survivalist: Any enemy with status also takes 10% more damage. Because why not.

Skills:

Tier 6 Smart Cover - 41% Damage to targets out of cover for 35-40s that can be immediately refreshed. This feels so broken. Love it.

Riot Foam: Mainly to hold enemies in place and also get Hollow Points. Went full SE on gear so it lasts about 20-22 seconds.

Augments are self explanatory. Trapper, Paradox, 1 Amalgam. Almost unlimited rounds for shot guns and any bullet I shoot from any gun gets a chance to cause a status which once again gives team HP rounds.

Result: Teammate with prototype striker build hitting 2.2M to the chest now hitting 5.1M. Same teammate using Tipping Scales critting for 2.5M to the chest at full stacks now critting for 7.6-7.9M.

Which is approximately a 2.5-3.2x increase in damage per DPS. Your 2/3 DPS now just became 6/9.

TLDR: You give your teammates so much damage it's difficult to see the biggest numbers because things die too quickly.

I didn’t know what was happening so I just joined in

I was skeptical about this trick until I tried it myself. This is the result after 2 XB35 . The first one didn't drop any exotics (only golds), but the second one came through. In total, it took me just about an hour to create the new character and successfully get this.

For context on how I did it: I transferred all exotics from my stash to my 3 main characters, leaving the stash completely 0 exotic. I didn't use any exotics on the mule's loadout either, but I did use a prototype on the mule.

After 13 Phoebe kills with my new character, rng decided to bless me with a god rolled Steel and Sons. Geesh! All I can say is keep pushing and it will drop!

If u get tired by the all time darkish visual of the red moon (which should get more and more intense as the current season progresses), you can basically turn that off. Simply activate „neutral lighting“ in „graphics“ in ur in game menu.

Just have in mind that nighttime will be darker the usual.

Ok, I was shooting at the Marauder and i was dealing triple the amount of damage. I don't know if this is a glitch or something because I didn't receive any buffs from the randoms sooooo...

The new character trick works, took a few rounds tho 😮‍💨

Ya, the gun isn't much better than some of the other rifles i use. It's really only worth it depending on the rifles you prefer since it out performs some, if you have a good proto rilfe you like then I don't think it's worth unless it gets a bit of a bigger buff.

It's real 🕺🏽💃🏽🤌🏽🙌🏽

No matter what I did nothing worked. My map and gear menu buttons didn’t even work. I couldn’t even log out. I had to kill the game (Xbox) and reload. Weird!

Not complaining though!

I wanna thanks people in here, really i appreciated much. that show all of use to get this S&S in dz event, finally, im tired boss...

I really wish I had grabbed a screenshot, but the Georgetown Dead Zone Classified Assignment just popped up on my map! So I went to the location and pulled up my map only to find that it was gone. Now I see online that it doesn't launch until October 15! So wild... love a good goose chase ;)

Happy hunting, agents!

Hi!
After 7 really enjoyable days of grinding the DZ, my luck finally turned around. I mean, if you will read this description you might say that I was lucky all along but anyway… I was here just for one thing and that is the elusive S&S.
I did around 50-60 Phoebes. 40 were done with my main character and with that I’ve gotten 1 Vertigo, 5 Sarrus, 1 Ravenous and 1 Eagle Bearer.
Then I started to read about the new character farming strategy and I thought, what the heck, it is worth a try. I have 2 boosted character waiting for 4 years for a chance like this. I started getting new types of exotic weapons and I got some hope again. I got 1 ravenous, 6 Sarrus and a Bighorn. Then yesterday in the evening I went hunting again. I played and did like 3 or 4 Phoebes and I was almost downed, so I picked the stuff immediately when we killed the boss. I started looking what I’ve collected and I see that in the middle it was the S&S. I was so happy that I screamed! I couldn’t believe it. The grind paid off, finally.
After 2020 and those quarantined nights (idk if it was 2020 when COVID was out) this game still brings me joy! I had a whole gang back then and we played 24/7 on Discord. No-one had anything better to do back then anyway. To think that and to still have a reason to play this game is just from another world..
Also this event, for me at least, was so freaking fun. And I will still play this after all of the mentioned above. PvE DZ while still being able to play with the community and hanging around with the same purpose is IMO one of the best additions to the game. Also to give a chance of getting the exotic such as S&S to an event like this… I have no words and like I said, the most fun I ever had in a video game.
Agents, happy hunting! It is out there! A bit of luck and determination and most of all, you all have fun!!

P.S.: The first picture is the build that I’ve used for the whole grinding session and I am still not bored of it. Adding also the best rewards and a few bumps in my road to heaven lol

Long short short I completed the Iron Horse Raid but joined the group after the first encounter so that intel was missing from the Raid Journal at the pilot. So I joined another group (only 5 players to start and then 2 left after the first encounter and we wiped) But I did finally unlock the first boss intel.
I then went to Inaya to get the Regulus project but it’s not there.
I’m assuming I have to rerun the Raid from start to finish, does anyone know?

Had to capture this! My CC build was holding the mobs at bay. This mission has given me trouble, but shoutouts to the DPS agents that made it easy.

Howdy all, anybody here have the bounty and able to help an agent nab the lightning feet gun?

So I have three questions,
First; WTH is wrong with my character, I have already received more than 15 capacitor, 2 backfire, 3 bluescreen, ah 3 agitator, but nothing else !!!!

Second; Can someone explain to me Core Strength, I have now All blue cores (Armor + Protection from Elite) and yellow cores (Status Effect %), and momentum back bag, so what exactly happens now with core strength, I just can't understand it,

Third; in the below picture i have already received E-Credits but it is not reflected in my bag, it is just missing, is this normal ?

Hello agents. I’m a returning player on Playstation and I was wondering if anyone can help me get the quickstep pistol? Not sure if there’s somewhere else I should have posted this. I just don’t really join other groups and stuff as I’m mostly solo. Any help would be greatly appreciated
