    Hard Wire set is completely broken - Unacceptable..

    The buff from the set is never applied, making the chest useless in the first place.

    Even when using backpack the cooldown is still 20 seconds so thats useless aswell. (If you don't believe me, take a stopwatch and time it.)

    The only thing semi-working is the cooldown reset, but some of the newer abilties don't proc that ether..

    Yes it is. Try using 4 hw and a different chest and bp until it's fixed. Cassie apparently is selling 4 hw pieces today. But yes, too many bugs and problems with this game to count. Make an all red build while you at it. Lmg is strong with steady hands.

    They didn’t do a public test server to work out the bugs like all past title updates so people would pay for WONY before any feedback on the new gear system. Bugs galore.

    Any success? Just for giggles I went on for 15 minutes last night and outside of the SP and SH attributes I couldn't get ANY of the HW buffs to work. No cooldown reset. Nothing.

    I use sticky with now 4.9 mil damage and seekers with explosive spec.

    I throw seekers, use sticky and seekers reset. It was improved yesterday.

    However, the real issue is my sticky has a 20 cd, the aim is challenging since NPCs move more fast this update. They also dodge the sticky so I may hit 50% of time and the aoe is nothing. If I miss I then have to wait and retreat due to NPCs now push. The seekers may hit 75% of the time and do work on normal and hard mode. Challenge and higher i dont bother using skills builds. The sustain on an all yellow build made for damage and haste is nothing.

    The damage to NPCs is a joke on the higher levels with this build. I'd just shelve this now and wait.

    Focus on an all red build, lmgs are decent, striker is decent. I am soloing challenging missions and content with red build.

    Although the bugs are extremely bad.

    Not unique to HW, many sets are broken, including Striker and others.
