    Please don't make daily missions "Challenge" difficulty - absurdly difficult

    Daily missions should be doable. Please don't make them Challenge difficulty if you are going to insist on having impossibly difficult scenarios with such silly strong enemies, while not allowing us anywhere near the same power or durability. It's really not much fun.

    They are a lot easier then they use to be. I use to get constantly hit by fast moving exploding drones that take out your armor and half your health each. Exploding RC cars every few mins. and lots of rushes. Add to that struggling to see anything because of over the top lighting effects and few places to cover and I usually just gave up during the first zone. Now there's still the over the top lighting and few places to cover in some areas plus mobs have had their DPS turned up. But no constant storm of drones and rc cars. Some challenge missions really take awhile for me to do solo but they are doable. I just noticed that right after an update things can be crazy for a few days.

    Action - Player as logged in
    Server- Boom here is all the loot in the game
    Player - Well now what


    There fixed it for you. Play the flipping game. There is a hard daily you can do. There are challenging dailies you can choose to not do. Frankly I'm surprised there isn't a Heroic one as well. You aren't entitled to **** in the game or the world. They aren't that hard, if you're joining with a group of friends maybe you need to look at yourselves and figure out how to git gud and finish it.

    There is one hard and one challenge. Just do the hard one if challenge is too tough.

    What Gear Score are you running in Challenging mode? Challenging mobs are definitely more spongy, but still manageable with a good group sporting 500+ GS.

    My main complaint is that the challenging rewards do not seem any better than hard mode results.

    It's not really that hard once you go for a build. It's easy af.

    only 2/3M. 4M is a huge jump up in sponginess.

    Gotta love all the great advice. No mention of what's a good build...No mention on where to meet this great group that will help you...no mention of even what gear brand, score or stats are sufficient enough to survive hard or challenging...you guys are true pro's. Keep up the good work.


    And no, I haven't got any advice to give because currently sitting at a gear score of 496 I can't survive a hard mission either.

    I have just done the daily Roosevelt on challenging with a random 4 man group. Highest GS was 503, then 497, 492 myself and a 467. We did the final part on the second attempt.

    My build is not that great I expect, but it has got me through all challenging stuff in 4 man groups including Tidal, not tried Heroic in a group and it has got me through Heroic bounties solo, challenging missions and challenging Roosevelt and the other two strongholds solo. Not managed a level 4 CP and not tried tidal solo on challenging.

    492 GS
    Survivalist
    AR G36C Crap talents, Stop drop and roll, Extra, one talent not unlocked. Black market M60 EG LMG Frenzy, Allegro, double duty

    9 red 4 blue 1 yellow

    18,851 WD
    11.5% CHC
    39% CHD
    68% HD

    15% all weapon damage
    34% AR damage
    61% DTE normally 89% but changed for Roosevelt with extra hazard protection

    Armour 202682 Health 49526 (which can take a full hammer blow from the heavies in challenging Roosevelt 4 man group.
    24763 health regen
    38% for all the hazards
    16% skill cooldown

    Chem reinforcer, hive revive

    1 Gila guard mask Insulated. (DTE non Roosevelt)
    2 Fenris. Vest, knee pads 2 x Damage to Elites, Vital.
    1Wyvern Holster Bloodlust talent
    5.11 Backpack DTE, Self adjusting
    Alps Gloves. Clutch

    That's about it I think. Pretty sure there a far better builds out there but this has got me through pretty much everything Ive tried apart from level 4 CP
