Any tips would be greatly appreciated.I know heroic is a gear check and its meant to be difficult. I dont need to make stage 10 but at least to get it done and shooting for somewhere like stage 5-6.
Usually running this in a 2 man group. Both of us are really solid players, but the time trial is kicking us in the butt. We did the hyena league without issues (besides starting it 3 days before it ended...)
Is there a spec that people are using to clear this?Are there things I need to do besides the basics of using cover, not getting hit with fire, etc ?
Ive been running an smg/lmg build with trauma and wicked smg hits for 104.9k sheet damage, max crit 1230% crit dam. 80 something all weapon dam or more... and lmg is a lil higher)
I also have an m1a build with bakers dozen hitting for about 550k sheet damage.
And what the hell is up with leader boards... last time i looked it said 2 people cleared the mission in 2 mins?!?!
My advice? Just don't do it. There's even a bug right now where if you die against the final boss, the checkpoint doesn't activate. I've experienced this personally.
Just level up your other categories for the event, and finish it off next week.
Heroic isn't worth it. The gear doesn't match the effort, and the bugs rub you of your time.
Its a tough one for sure. Ive just ran it solo and managed 23.01 so pretty happy with that. It was a full red build M1A and Eagle Bearer.with Focus and Vigilance, maybe should have gone with Unbreakable.
Had fire grenades which were good for a few spawn points, just used blinder and revive hive as skills.
4 group I ran it it with was 25.52 minutes.
I reckon a 3 group may be the best way to go.
Matchmake to a random 4-man group.Originally Posted by meetmylingus Go to original post
I literally just started the PC and matchmade into the first group I received an invite for:
Job done.
Easy as Pie.
if you want ot actually finish it in under 20min, which is not easy but repetedly doable, you should go with 2 or 3 man, to kill the apc faster, but not 4 man as that will just tip the group scaling over the top and make it harder again
2nd important part would be that all 2/3 agents should run a dps build, skill or gun, as you need to killl everything as fast a possible no matter the means
3rd would be coordination, talk to each other, via igame voic chat or discord or whatever, as that will make it easier to not die from flanking enemys and focus the proper targtets (usually leaders)
and lastly would be player synergy, as rather opposed palystyles can actually prevent any kind of coordination, eg. one agent runs in facehugging the enemy while the other is sniping from 3 rooms back is gonne end up bad in many cases, as the sniper cant easyly prevent the rusher from opverextending and being surrounded, while the rusher cant secure the flanks of the sniper
pugs may not always fullfil all 3 points acceptably (they very rarely do), so be prepared to try multiple times in pugs
also this heroic run is much easier then last leagues darpa labs in 18min, this one is doable without insane gear/build/coordination and additional luck of the spawns
but again is not easy in general, although very much doable without supirior luck required (average luck is all you need)
