    Looking for advice on how to get gear, build help.

    Hello,

    I have been playing the division for a few weeks. I am currently 30/ 277 and prefer PvE activities.

    I was looking for what I can run solo when I do not have a lot of time or have distractions like my kids and what is best saved for doing with a group. I prefer PvE. For group activities I have run the Warrengate on Legendary a few times, and am now trying the resistance locations as well. Is there any other legendary missions I can run with a group or what other activities will possible get me better/ classified/ exotic gear?

    As for solo, is there any solo PvE activities I can do that has a chance at some better gear?

    I would appreciate any advice on what to work on. Is all gear just random? I see the ninjabike messenger back or the house weapon talked about often. Are these just random or something you can earn? Also the lightweight M4, can this be earned or do I need to keep looking for the BP?

    As far as gear sets go, I have 5 normal pieces of striker right now and a bunch of other stuff.

    Daily and Weekly HVT’s.
    Named Bosses.
    Daily and Weekly assignments.
    Survival.
    Underground.

    All activity in the games gives a chance at gear. Killing more enemies gives a proficiency cache. Again, chance at gear.
    Solo isn’t limited in many ways it’s just means completing Heroic and Legendary takes an age to begin with. Never completed a solo Legendary personally. Don’t feel the urge to do so ATM. Might change though. Never know.

    Forgot to add WSP. You don’t necessarily need to do resistance just follow the yellow diamond to mini quests. Complete and get a WPS cache. Those contain D-Tech used to maximise your gear and guns. So a 241.

    Good luck.

    Resistance mode farming is fast and rewards quite well if still v. random when trying to find that last piece of classy gear. If you can find a group via chat or the sub-forum on this board that will swap pieces they dont need with others then you increase the chance of getting those pieces to 4x per drop.

    Carrier map is probably the fastest/easiest one to do on repeat.

    Underground is okay for classy drops. Not that frequent.

    LZ bosses drops are very rare. At least for me.

    HVTs even more so.

    Still get the odd exotic drop from incursions but they are pretty rare apart from the medved on clear sky. Though I suspect thats because there are too many spares as no one uses it! )

    DZ is the place for frequent and varied drops Im afraid. Its possible to play it even though the risk for someone to steal your gear is real. There are times and servers though when there is little rogue activity and you stand a good chance of getting your loot out, moreso if you band together in a group.

    WSP is west side piers right? Do I just go to the yellow icon on the map and run around that area?

    I've run a few resistance maps with a group and some legendary. Are there more then 1 legendary to run? I also try to hit the named open world bosses if I see any. So far I have only gotten 2 pieces of classified gear and neither of a set I want to use. No great exotics either so far. I did finally get the lightweight M4.

    I just wanted to know what I should be focused on daily when I can play. Thank you

    There are 3 legendary missions - Napalm, Warrengate & Times Square. Check out youtube for the LZ boss locations, some people have exactly where you need to go and after a few runs you have it pretty much memorised.

    And yes it's West Side Piers - if you have done the intro missions once you goto the safehouse there yes you should have a marker showing you where to go for each 'alert' and just complete the mish for divtech/caches and possible classified off bosses etc.
