    Can I survive? sure,
    Is it doable - yes,
    Most Important: Is it Fun - OH HELL NO.
    My current max GS(effective) is 174. I don't know if you've tried the sub-160 bracket. Less crowded than the upper. I can run 156GS with a crappy pistol and solo the level 31s in DZ03-04 perfectly fine. I am using a mediocre Brutal 182 Vector and the vendor 204 SOCOM M1A.

    How do you even get this? All gear I tried said 0 on this point in the character tab.
    The higher your armor the more damage mitigation you have. Every piece of gear has an armor number. You can find your armor stats and mitigation under the Survivability tab in your character menu.

    I used to agree with this but it changed after 1.1 patch. Now once you kill the first 5 LMB on the rooftop, purple elites will continue to spawn until you extract. I've had to kill as many as 15 NPCs before extracting at times.

    Bottom line is the DZ can be rough, but if you play smart you can survive. I hope this helps some people.
    Thats not a good stats dude... tell me where i can find a session where all ppl die for a guy with 180k dps and 65k health

    I go manhunt all nights and its like 2 / 1... its means winning 2 manhunts and loosing 1 and my stats is far far away better than yours, but... nice history, a bit usual like do a distraction or scan scramble etc etc etc

    There is only 1 thing for manhunt survive: KNOW THE MAP!

    Thats not true... the max is +-4600 or 65% mitigation more than it is waste of recalibration spot. Since 80% of players will have more than 30% of armor destruction, you will have 1.5 seconds to take an action (medkit with critical save + adrenaline) before die.

    I just had ****ty roles on the gear I was using at the time. My crit chance was at 58% and crit damage was at 164% with a 4 set of strikers so while my DPS and health wasn't all that high I was maintaining with critical hit chance/damage using pulse and health talents and skills. After I wiped the initial group I fled and only encountered players no more than 2v1 which can be handled using cover and just fleeing whenever down to low health. I think what it boiled down to was maintaining distance between the players attacking me, using cover, and just knowing when to run and when to shoot. I was able to pull players through narrow allies a few times and deal with them when they were out of cover. My signature skill cool down is pretty fast thanks to gear mods so I was able to use that right when I went rogue and one more time when my timer started getting low. I also wasn't getting chased by higher caliber players. The main group I was fighting were lvl 60-65. There was 1 group of 4 lvl 99s in the server that I know of but I chatted with them for a bit before I went rogue and they were nice to me and left me alone. Game chat has definitely saved my *** more than once.

    As far as knowing the map goes I try to stick to the subway while rogue. It's easy to funnel players into your line of fire and it's a maze down there so you can lose players in pursuit relatively easily if you know your way around.

    Immediately after this I went to the BoO and crafted/recalibrated and am now at 203K DPS, 85K health, 15K electronics, 61% mitigation, 175% crit damage, and 58% crit chance still with 4 set strikers. Still not perfect and I encountered several players last night alone that absolutely steam rolled me but I think it's a good base to atleast compete against higher geared players.

    I'm aware that it maxes out. I just didn't state it. What I said wasn't false. I just didn't list all of the finer details like you did.

    My total armor was over 4500 total, but 0 damage mitigation. What other number should I look at?

    There are endless stories of people getting ripped off in the DZ. From people getting killed at extractions to the same rogue killing people over and over again. I play solo a lot until I find a cool group of guys in the DZ to invite me to join. Playing solo is risky but there's an easy way to pull it off. Don't be an idiot. So many people spawn at the same safe house over and over despite knowing there's a rogue player standing right outside waiting to kill you for the 4th time in a row. Players try to extract in DZ 1 knowing there's a group of 4 waiting to rip them of their loot. Then they'll come to the forum and complain. Bottom line is, you're dumb. So I figured I'd tell one of my many tales.

    While in the DZ last night there was a group of 3 that continued to attack everyone trying to extract. I was completely aware of this and decided to play it smart. Anytime they went rogue I would hit landmarks that were on the other side of whatever DZ area they were in. I never got attacked once and was able to farm for PC and loot easily. Then came extractions. I switched over to pulse with concealment. If you're in the DZ solo and there are rogues your priority is no longer killing. It is surviving! A bunch of people don't seem to understand this. I went down to DZ 1 and called in an extraction. I quickly left that extraction as quickly as I could and made my way to a different one. False extractions are the easiest way to keep rogues away from you. I made it to the other extraction called it in and then hid. The group came and do to concealment they could not find me. Included below as a video. I'm not a huge gamer so I don't stream so excuse the xbox DVR link.

    Next came the supply drops. I made my way over to the first one and killed the boss. There was another player present so I ignored the box since my Survivor Link was not active. I played smart and let the other player take the box. I made my way to the second box along with the other player and realized he was part of the group of 3 that was trying to kill everyone. I killed the boss and, knowing I was outnumbered, let the 3 man group claim the box. AFTER they claimed the box they went rogue on me. I'd like to take a moment to address not only the a$$hole move this is but how much it harms the game. I'm all for going rogue, but it takes no skill whatsoever for 3 guys to kill 1 innocent player after he was NICE to you and helped you claim a supply drop. I also have video of this entire encounter. Definitely watch this one.

    I proceeded to go to extract and the same group came towards me. At this point I was tired of them and went rogue myself. I wiped all 3 again and killed another 2 man group and was on a solo manhunt. I ended up killing 6 more players and surviving the manhunt on my own. Unfortunately I have no proof of this but feel free to watch my other xbox clips and I think I can back up these claims. Attached is also my Division Tracker.

    Good post. There are lots of folks that don't understand these basic things and instead cry on the forums that the DZ is broken.
