    Legendary Missions - Any other factions going to join the party?

    I'm repeatedly failing at the Summit. Just can't get it done.

    Are there any plans for Legendary missions to include any other factions?


    I'm running out of excuses but it seems to me that only having one Faction being available for Legendary missions says that the Developers of this game didn't know how to make the game 'hard' and Black Tusk was the closest thing. Drone spamming, warhounds, the heavies with stinger backpacks and the mobile turrets just kill the fun after being squad wiped after the 'nth' time on Summit.

    Legendary doesn't feel "hard" it just feels cheesy. It's way too difficult to not talk out of both sides of my mouth but while on the one hand being spammed by drones and mobile turrets does take skill to defeat, in my opinion this isn't my idea of fun and its dumb. ***DISCLAIMER*** i've hated the inception of Black Tusk since release. I preferred the no hope, miserable, everyday is a struggle story line from Division 1. Every other faction has been awesome to fight against except Black Tusk.

    Dying in a game is one thing, but feeling like the game is 'scripted' to make it impossible for a button presser to win just isn't fun.

    Well first game only had the special variations of the LMB (and hunters as extras), so i don't really think so. Most of those things just become about tactics and planning that people develop over time, such as where are good "safe spots" which waves should be better to switch to an jammer pulse or shock trap because of sudden spawns of drone operators or rushers from a close door. Of course you can do it extra "safe" even if underpowered just by being careful picking off enemies by afar even if it takes 99 bullets but you have the ammo and the time is doable.

    Lots of stuff is doable, my first completion of of Capitol hill in legendary took over 3 hours because i found in the middle of the mission some guy still had purple gear and was throwing off stinger hive to try to take down an heavy while only have skill tier 1, at the same time i learned that the best way to complete some rooms that was using sweet dreams to kill the medics and healers (support stations were unerfed).

    I mean lots of people ask about "smarter" enemies and that's kinda what the white tusks do, their drone operators now throw their drones very far from each other and themselves while also not exposing frequently, their heavies having stinger hives denies any silly tactics of buying time by going around a piece of cover, their rushers are throwback of Div 1 by having shock granades that are absurdly powerful, they roll out of the way A LOT and etc. They are not just buffed up stats, they are the perfect version of their archtypes made to be the ultimate challange.

    If it is a struggle, it is either you are not ready for Heroic / Legendary or other members of your team are not ready, as in the gear or/and ability is lacking.

    Just leave and join another group.

    Sometimes you are better off doing it with 3, as the enemy's health/armor scales up as more people join the group, than getting a 4th person who isn't ready, because one person with bad gear or who is lacking ability will bring down the group.
