    What is happening with the old gear sets?

    So I currently have the 4 piece sentry set. I use it with SMG and M1A. Now the sentry set is about to be nerfed to only work with semi-autos. I'm close to getting my Strikers 4 piece set bonus but I'm curious about whether or not the current Strikers set will continue to be the strikers set as it is today or will it change into the new gear set called Predator's mark. Which is also referred to as "Striker" according to the preview of update 1.2. Does anyone have any info on this?

    I'm pretty sure striker sets are not going to be changed. Just the sentry. And then of course the new sets. I'm guessing there will be 8 different sets in all. We will know more after tonight's SOTG.

    Since the GS cap is not going up, there will just be more options. Some of course will be better than others, but all should be more than adequate to tackle current content (and by current I include 1.2 content which obviously I haven't tested but they have, extensively we are led to believe)

    Depends on what the new gear sets are like, as Lepanto says "there will be more options", but until those options are out in the wilds and people are experimenting then the new meta for gear after sentry is fixed will be 3x striker, 2x sentry + savage gloves with chd and chc

    Lets hope they give us some more info about the new gear sets during the SOTG. I'm just trying to decide whether or not to drop 700ish PC's on the two striker craftables now or wait and see what comes out after 1.2. I just got all caught up in the fact that they referred to the Predator's Mark gear set as Striker in the trailer and I was wondering more along the lines of are they just going to turn the current strikers set into the Predator's mark set or leave it alone. It seems plausible given what they are doing with the sentry set. With each update they have been increasing the cost of gear items. I don't want the Strikers gear to go up in cost and hose me out of having them now and have to bother with more grinding before I get myself a set bonus. Either way, there is plenty more grinding ahead of us all.

    If you ain't close to capping PCs I'd wait. Those BPs haven't rotated since 1.1 and there's no indication of them doing so now.

    As for more grinding ... Nature of the beast And remember we'll be able to farm the new 200+ GS DZ which should hit RATHER hard and also drop us some cool LEWT!
