    High Value target missions worthless?

    So, I was excited about the new high value target missions, but I think something is messed up with them. First, most of the daily high value target missions are worthless for anyone with gear above about 130.

    Second, I was trying to do one of the weekly ones (30 intel point one for a backpack). It's Gos..something or other squad. It's like 7 of the turret users. First time I tried it, 7 turrets and I died. No problem, build up 30 more intel points and try again. Oh wait, less than 3 minutes into my timer ( 9 minute timer) I get "The high value target is no longer here, mission failed".

    I think I'm really done with this game. I've put up with the dark zone cheating, etc etc. The High value targets were something to spice up the game, but their are either bugged or so difficult that they are pointless.

    If the answer is "group up" then I'm done with the game. I like playing while I work, and I enjoy solo play. If this is yet another "require a group" type thing then I think I'm out.

    Sadly they've not yet discovered the amazing "content scales with a group" functionality that makes other loot based games so good. So yeah, I'm sorry to say, but "group up" is going to be the answer to this...

    The search and destroy missions are used to get currency to play the high value target missions. Those drop 240 gear.

    Then I must be doing something wrong. All the high value target missing I see for the dailys say they drop crap in the 160 range. And the weekly ones seem broken/impossible. Has noone else had problems with the mission ending before the timer is up?

    I have got 214s off some of the easiest dailies.
    pretty sure nothing under a 182. which isn't saying much.
    any GS could get an upgrade from this if RNG god is smiling.

    if you are running out of time, you need to deal a bit more damage more quickly. a group may help. gear decisions also may be in order if solo.
    I can solo all the dailies, but the last 2 are pretty challenging. my GS is meaningless, but I have a lot of tweaking and recalling done over the last month.

    3 man group and you should be able to clear any weekly or daily.

    if you are being chased out of the mission area to avoid being killed, and you don't notice the "return to mission area" timer, this will cause the result of the later part of your second point

    So did I on PC until last Friday. Complete garbage after that with the best drop being a 163gs AR. Including today, 5 days nothing better than GS 163 and zero gear set (teal) drops. At least I am getting more crafting mats, all I need is some decent blueprints to restock at the BOO, LOL.

    they recommend doing some missions group, usually it is those that indicas of time and waves of special enemies, snipers, bombers and shotgunners. very difficult to overcome alone

    LOL if you are only getting 163 GS weapons that's because you are doing hard mode missions or the search and destroy intel mission to get intel to do or buy the weekly HVT missions for the gear reward.

    I get way more gear set items out of the HVTs than I ever did from Challenge missions. The 150 HRT last week dropped me two 240 items. I must disagree with the idea that these are worthless. You're certainly better off doing these than the daily missions, that's for sure.
