    Stolen Signal help!

    I'm hoping to beat Stolen Signal to finish off a bunch of these GE commendations, but crikey, it's too tough.

    Can anyone give me some general tips for beating it, and has anyone done it with everyone using security skills. I'm hoping I'm just missing something fundamental here because right now in terms of difficulty there's the whole rest of the game then this.

    I completed the commendation yesterday with a squad. We did it with all security skills on challenging. Everyone needs to have all security skills including defensive alt. It took us a couple of hours lul.
    We used mobile cover and smart cover. You would need an optimized sentry and optimized striker build for dps. they need to work together to clear adds and to put damage on bosses for the first three encounters. A shield build and nomad works too. In the final eno****er, you need spam defensive alts and try to spread out. Focus on shotgunners and have shield builds ready to protect the hostages. You cant switch skills or it wont count. So its best to have loadouts ready.

    Yeah, none of my friends still play so I'm having a hard time even finding people that are trying for it, let alone equipped to actually complete it.

    Congrats though!

    I doubt you can do it with randoms but, you can try. Try using lfg on the division discord channel. You might find a group to play with. It does require coordination. It's all trial and error though.

    It kind of sucks it is a requirement of the commendation as I literally can't complete it - every time I'm on a team damage just goes straight through shields in the last room and kills the hostage - even if like 3 of us try and block it - when I drop from the team they complete it no problem

    Sucks generally as I really enjoy the challenge of the other bits of that incursion except the last room and I've so far never not had the last room bug out like some kind of weird desync.

    It annoys me that UBI have included Stolen Signal in the commendations. They must know just how difficult this is, especially with only security skills
    The only people likely to complete it are those who play regularly in a well formed group. If you play with randoms or solo - forget it

    I gave it a couple of shots with randoms and even just trying to field a group was a waste of time.

    First group stood around the start for 10 minutes doing nothing, causing a couple people to drop/add.

    Then when we did play, one clown is out running around the map doing other crap, so I quit after a couple fails with only 3 people and nobody voting to kick the fool running around the map.

    Next group as soon as I join they are talking about going to do clear sky, having only gotten as far as the lobby. And with that wasted 45 minutes, I was done trying to play Stolen Signal.

    First, congrats. Second, are you saying that if you switch one skill, say Mobile Cover, to another, say Shield, it won't count, but if you switch loadouts, it's okay? Also, I presume you're allowed to wipe and restart a room, correct?
