Yeah, agreed on all counts. I just went with the Bulwark shield and tried a Liberty, which hits for 342k with my build.
With no other changes I did two bounties, one of which was Challenging, and what a totally different play style from my Status build! For the latter I had two named Elites, two heavies, and a bunch of reds and purples and I just waded right in, shooting non-stop. It was a Cleaners bounty so there were some flamers, but my fixer drone healed me fast enough that I didn't even have a close call.
For the Elites it's kind of funny literally backing them into a corner, pumping shot after shot into them until they crack and die - which comes sooner than I expected using a side arm. Plus, I guess with the bonus of infinite ammo I didn't even have to be careful aiming.
Thanks for the tips all! I'll definitely try some of the other suggestions too, but this might be the one I was looking for to finish Summit with my clan.
I run a few versions.
4 foundry, ridgeway, eclipse protocol pack
4 foundry, momento, D&H
3 foundry, ridgeway, eclipse protocol pack, D&H
Lately ive been messing around with a deflector shield build using 4 foundry or 3 foundry/1D&H, ridgeway, eclipse protocol pack all slots skill damage, mods protection from elites. Works well until a elite sniper takes me out. The deflector shield procs ridgeway bleed and adds liberty stacks.
I have a forge, zero fs, momento, and 3 bulwark 3-3-2 with technician and mop 870k with future perfection for 3 skill tier after 3 kills, the shield has 6m health the artificer at skill tier 6 refresh 84 percent shield health every 15 seconds though u could use the healing droneOriginally Posted by Sock_Monkey Go to original post
Yeah, I am considering it. I normally pooh-pooh sidearms, but I have to say going with the full Bulwark shield and blasting away with my Liberty exotic pistol does a surprising amount of damage. The game lists it as 342k DPS, but I can face-tank named Elites and just hammer away at them with the Liberty until they fold. It goes quicker than you'd expect, but I am considering a few more reds to see how it goes since I am almost (almost, but not quite) invincible at this point.Originally Posted by Finalplay342019 Go to original post
I have the liberty with the build above, it doesn't 396k, the the ballistic shield has 16m health, the artificer hive refresh 40 percent every 9 seconds, with 1.4m armor and perfectly unbreakable it makes dying pretty much impossible as long as u don't let them swam behind u, plus for each enemy u kill u get a bouns, most time I have 2.5m armor, not sure what damage percentage it gives but the mop goes from 869k to 955k, not sure about the skill bonus, I think each trophy u pick up buffs ur highest core first, I like using the deflector shield, especially with drones it's funny watching them murder theirself.Originally Posted by Sock_Monkey Go to original post
What's ur build, I would build it just to try, probably wouldn't be able to use very good because I can't hit headshots for nothing, except at the target range lol.Originally Posted by N3mB0t Go to original post
foundry 4 piece , 2 blues and 2 reds , shield is tier 4 with technician and memento , the 5th piece , its enough to do legendary playing smart , 6th piece is a Dh chest with headhunter , liberty pistol heals my shield and does enough damage to one shot reds and purples with headhunter , some golds also go down if i crit but if i dont i killl them in 2 , 3 shots max , last shot procs HH and here we go again.
second skill is artificer for shield healing so in heroic you can just stand there and on legendary just have to play smart.
the most important bit is that you have to put headshot damage everywhere, mods included to reach the 150% on the pistol.
you can also use the named kard and get you hive and shield even stronger or roll another red and keep the same resistance, i prefer the liberty , less clicks and enough damage to reach the 10M on HH to be able to one shot npcs fast.
its soo boring invincible i only use it when on a group of 4 we get rogues, and then i just stand there shooting their heads untill they fall.
just a side note on something i dont see many people doing with liberty which is long range shooting , this thing is a laser gun , you can hit npcs preeeety far away and for great damage , after you get used to the , ahhheeahhhem.... badly designed pistol crosshair, you can be hitting heads with headhunter proced and putting them down way before they get to you.
Yea I just did bank headquarters invaded on heroic with the liberty u can stand there for about 10 minutes before the shield goes down be it it super boring, because u can't get close or 3 or 4 will get behind u, I got to the section right before the end were u got to keep the away from the computer. I like challengeing with the deflector shield I like see them kill theirself lol. Except missions with jammers I hate them.Originally Posted by N3mB0t Go to original post
