So I finally got The House to drop with brutal and unforgiving. I'm solo trying to extract with no luck and finally lose it to a group. So I find somebody extracting, kill them and hijack their extraction and get the Nomad mask I've been looking for. Tit for Tat!!! Now the grind continues for The House with a decent roll.
No winning versus a group of 4 but to take revenge on a lone player player because a group took you down. No cool either. Maybe the dude was also grinding many hours for that one piece.
I have seen recently so many new solo players trying to go rogue on other solo players but it’s funny because they are terrible at it.
I’m glad that I got all Classified sets and Exotics away from the DZ. Don’t sleep on Underground. I got most of my Exotics from there (House 3x, Heel 2x, Warlord and of course you’ll get some trash Exotics) I only go in the DZ to complete assignments, Farm Div tech or hunt Rogues. DZ is a waste of time if your farming.Originally Posted by SUB---MOA Go to original post
Farming in the Dark Zone can be very profitable and I have not lost many extractions using some common sense, don't extract in an area with a lot of rogue activity, travel to quieter zones where the chance of a rogue ambush is low, call the extraction, hide nearby and sneak back looking for agents hanging around, scan your map regularly for rogues nearby and be prepared to run if agents just rock up, but don't seem interested in extracting.But having completed a CS set of Nomad, opening the last cache of the GE just gone and the knee pads were not in the 2 pieces and I was bemoaning my luck when it gave a bonus item, yep, the much needed set of Nomad Knee pads, it has given me an added solution.
The defensive bonus offered by the Nomad set have prompted a change in Tactics, set up near an exit if possible, or just rush down with a few seconds left to extraction, if a rogue is hiding they can shoot but they won't stop the extraction hooking on and going out.
In 4 Rogue ambushes, died once but on the other 3 was able to run, recover with a med kit or booster shot and escape and survive with an intact extraction sitting in my stash box.
Can not fight them but I can extract, survive and escape, on 3 out of 4 occasions today.
Money fund statement: Past performance is no indication of future performance, maybe I was just lucky or more likely they were apprentice rogues and not really good just yet.
Prediction: if this continues and rogues fail regularly to bring Nomad wearing agents down so they can steal the extraction, they will complain and Ubisoft will nerf Nomad CS sets, so enjoy the bonus cause it probably won't last.
More information: On the ambush where I died it was still a successful extraction, started getting shot with 5 metres to go, was still able to survive, hook on and watch it go out. then tried to run but got nailed, but still with a successful extraction in my Stash box.
So successful extractions 4/4, survived 3/4. Good stats for Nomad.
I only go in the DZ to complete assignments (Damm LMB's)....and on the way i kill everything in site, leave a mass litter of greens/yellows, if a classy drops i will pick it up and extract, if i get jumped on and lose it i say to myself "Oh well, it was good whilst it lasted"
Funny thing is i have not since day one jumped on anyone, if anything i help other solo players if i see them struggling with NPC's.....D3 is so good for solo in DZ9, plus nice and quiet.
Try to farm it in Underground got four houses until now discarded one for d tech if u are trying to farm anything important don't do it in griefing zone even if you are in a team do it else where and try to farm only for spares or kill time. Underground is good for Farming especially exotics trust me man four houses, four big al, five devils, three heels which are rare compared to others and with the upcoming update loot pool being diluted you will get more chances of exotics in underground.Originally Posted by SUB---MOA Go to original post
Pretty much. I run it a little more, but only extract specific, better Classies than I have and Exotics I want (which, these days, is pretty much 'none of them'...I'm in search for Pred Gloves, and that's about it).Originally Posted by JayKay040792 Go to original post
Same deal here (well, not D3). Couple of days back, had a solo farmer extracting in 09. I snuck in and watched; solo Rogue showed, the extractor was almost managing (he was losing, but slowly), so when I jumped in we wrecked the Rogue in short order. Then went our separate ways. High point of my gaming day. ^_^Funny thing is i have not since day one jumped on anyone, if anything i help other solo players if i see them struggling with NPC's.....D3 is so good for solo in DZ9, plus nice and quiet.
That's most of what I do in the game now. Patrol the DZ in my police jacket and help solo players extract their loot. It's especially nice when they send me a message thanking me. Makes it all worth it.Originally Posted by Sharpandpointy Go to original post
And as Faye says: "That's who we do this for, Agent. Go get 'em".
