    urban MDR where farm and is it worth it?

    I've notice a lot of comments about the urban MDR and for some reason I just never have gotten one, even after 400+ hours/11 months play. Where do you get it and what's so great about it? Is it the base 330 damage? (ref http://divisionfieldguide.com/weapon-item/urban-mdr/ )

    I generally haven't found much luck low RPM assault rifles and find burst rifles too slow when facing a group of NPCs or team in LS

    is it irrelevant now with the new 1.8 exotic weapons?

    I got my first one from Larae Barrett and other two from Exotic caches.

    It's a Marksman Rifle is all it is, but it's classified as an Assault Rifle. One shot per click, works exactly like a DMR. Holds 45ish rounds with extended mags though. It pairs up well if you can apply status effects, as it gets a 18% damage boost to targets with one

    Also got mine from Barrett, same as most people. But they apparently drop from other bosses also

    It's NOT a Marksman Rifle. It's not working with DeadEye but it's a semi-auto and works with Sentry

    Is it worth it? Depends how you play and what builds you use.

    It hits hard. Maybe harder than any other weapon in the game aside from the marksman rifles like the M800 or M44. But as toxic said, it's a semi auto so it's one bullet per click. If you're quick on the trigger it is really effective. If you struggle with that repetitive action, then it's not going to work as well for you.

    Most people use it with their Sentry builds because it's a good primary weapon that allows marking of the target.

    Like most semi-automatic weapons, you will want to apply Rate of Fire and Reload mods to get the most out of it. If you're using Sentry, then you'll want to mod it with Headshot damage mods as a priority.

    Personally, it's not my favorite gun but it's the one I use most because Six-Piece Sentry is my favorite build in the game.

    I have 21 (yes) Urban MDR, but only use 1 (one) of them with my 6 piece classified sentry. That is where it is good for, fast marking of targets for sentry.

    I use one with my Nomad 6 piece skill build, with Talented, intense and distracted. Its great for long shops against enemies who are bleeding or on fire. Wrecks groups easily. It looses out to the M4 at closer range. I've been practising with it big time and the semi auto nature takes some getting used to if you've previously had full auto.

    It's my favourite gun in game so far, but its taken me a month to get used to it properly (I'm old ;-)

    thanks guys, now with 1.8 I'm focusing on getting the House. Getting my butt kicked by others with it. I also noticed in Skirmish the showstopper has been pretty lethal

    I use mostly assault rifles, but when I'm in a sniping mood have been using the M44. is so slow to reload though but deadly, one shot kills. too slow in LS or Skirmish
