    Alpha builds

    I need some help. I thought i had a good build but it seems to be falling short somewhere, those of you who use alpha and find they do really good dps, tell me what your using and what your values are, because as of right now im struggling to down most players.

    DPS is 366,551
    Toughness is 346,607
    Skill power is 112,380

    ACR is middle of the pack AR.

    I can run with a reckless chestpeiece and still have toughness above 430k. My sugestion is to ease up on firearms. But ignore DPS....its a stupid stat.

    I just got into this whole Alpha build.
    Running ACR as primary with P416 on the back. Unforgiving, Deadly, Brutal, Ferocious, Destructive and Responsive I believe my talents are.
    AB on mask, knees, back and holster. Barrets chest. And I still need to get some proper Savage-gloves.

    However, I'm also at around 350k dps and 340k toughness. 48% armor and I believe around 43-45% enemy armor.

    Two questions.
    1. Some proper savage gloves will help I guess. What kind of mods am I supposed to look for?

    2. Why is the Famas mandatory? I know I have the recommended talents on my current weapons.

    Famas is mandatory becuase it gives 15% damage boost for free.

    Mods.....

    Primary: anything with armor...nothing else matters at the moment.

    Performance: First Aid Self heal or damage of you most used skill.

    Uncomplicated is far and away the best weapon talent in the game. I would replace deadly with Uncomplicated

    After getting upwards of 450+ k dps with an AB build, I can tell you going over 4800-5000k firearms isn't worth it, the difference is very little higher up and stam scales better. Spec more into stam and toughness, find a good LVOA-C or military g36 and pair it with the famas.

    I dropped my dps from 440-450k down to 385k and put the rest into stam, its worth it and you will need it if you go DZ.

    See, this is the problem "use this armor, use that weapon. No choice in playstyle if you want to keep up in DZ."

    ... What's the point of all that loot again?
