Turned on division 2 today, running heroic, and decided to engage in combat on control points. I noticed I was downing yellow bar enemies with my rifle in about 3 shots. Same with the rest of enemies. Competed more than 1 control point with ease.
On another occasion. Turned on game again. Again on heroic, and back to control points, only this time the enemies were now more that sponges. Almost a full clip. I was getting hit a lil harder in return. I swear some servers are somehow easier that others, whatever sense that makes. I should note that this is all in the same day.
Have any of you guys experienced this very same thing. Sometimes some game play seems much easier than other occasions you signed in. Almost like you never know what server you may be placed in when the game takes its time to load.
This is interesting. I haven’t noticed this myself. Yet. But at times if I am taking longer shots from a distance I don’t do as much damage but from that distance I could only be hitting an arm I guess and not doing full damage. I can also do 3 shot kills on elites but sometimes it does take twice that but like I said I could be missing center mass or headshots since I do engage from farther distances than typical.
Yea might just be me. I understand you might have talents involved, including crits ect, but to hit random body shots in both scenarios, and one being spongy, while the other drops fairly quickly sometimes gets me curious to how this game works at times. (Again taking into account drip distance, at which point you don't hit as hard).
Another scenario is playing for hours or months and achieving basic loot, then a random day of playing you get 3 or 4 exotics and some great loot... you're hell of excited, but could just be luck lol.
Tell you what tho, whole different story. You sure do go down faster in this title update. Fire damage = might as well stand still and wait to die cause it hits harder than a grenade explosion to your face lmao. (My build is full red so I have no protection of any sort).
My go to guild is 4 red and 2 blue and you are 100% right about fire damage. What sucks is dying and almost being revived with a hive (when it works lol) and to almost revive yourself just for the hive to break due to fire damage being so high. So I totally feel your pain there.
And yeah exotics are hit and miss. Like you say can have a good day and get several and go days/weeks without anything. Though I do think they did tweak things a little after the suspensions. Had way better drops and a lot of god rolls but now it is back to “regular” again but that could be I was just connected to a better sever at the time I guess, not real sure.
Agreed talents do play a factor in almost every aspect of the game. I run focus and vigilance and perfect lucky shot and perfect near sight
Attributes play a big deal as well. That’s why I don’t like the gear sets. You give up several attributes and the gear set bonuses don’t off set that enough in my opinion
