    So System Corruption is back?

    I've already had four pieces drop in about 20 minutes of standard PvE play.

    I guess it's part of the latest Seasons rewards?

    Seasonal track, well it also has the crafting blueprints on the reward tracks, so better farm those materials also

    I have been getting them too, what is the value in using them for a solo PVE player?

    I'm no expert, but this set looks to me like it has PvP in mind.

    Drop from an enemy? Or are they sent straight to your inventory?

    Directly to your inventory.

    As for its purpose, DZ. Three pieces will net you +15% Armor on kill and +40% disrupt and scanner pulse resistance. Then there is the Hack Step protocol 4-piece talent which replaces your armor kits with an indefinite-use armor kit with a 20 second cool down.

    Personally, I used it to fight Hunters in the Summit. 97% disrupt resistance means I can run a jammer and shock traps from the moment they spawn in. Only useful in a group thought. Sadly, this set will not protect agents from being jammed by Keaner at the end of Liberty Island.

    It is indeed a PvP set.

    But the 15% armor on kill aren't that bad. I'm currently running a 4/3/1 with Memento or basically the same build without Memento as a 3/3/0 setup with "armor on kill" from the Deathgrips, from Belstone and the Gunner specialization. And that's pretty neat. So with two pieces of System Corruption you could wither further boost such a build or create your own one (especially if you don't want to use two pieces of Belstone or don't own the Deathgrips, as they are DZ-exclusive).

    Interesting, i was mucking around with combinations last night and stumbled upon a build that works very well in/on Heroic, without using a single Brand set.

    2 piece System corruption (15% Armour on kill)
    3 piece Hunters fury (20% Armour on kill)
    1 Memento
    4 Red/3 Blue/1 Yellow.
    Gunner spec (10% Armour on kill)
    Striker drone
    Banshee or Jammer pulse
    CHD/CHC rolled on all plus CHD mods.

    Weapons
    The mop (10% Armour on kill)
    Emiline's Guard ( 12% armour repair on kill)

    With Emiline's guard i get a total of 630,000 + armour on kill, with the mop i get 700,000 + Armour on kill.
    Also 40,000 Armour regen. from the Memento.
    330,000 health on kill.
    1.2 million Armour
    The Mop does almost a million damage a shot (without the boost from Memento)
    Emiline's guard (P90) at 103K damage (without the memento boosts)

    I don't die (well tell a lie i rushed in like a fool in one engagement and did die) but 99% of the time i kill quick and don't die (unless i make a stupid mistake or get headstrong)

    Yeah. That's awesome. That's what I'm talking about! You could also swap the 3 pieces Hunter's Fury against 2 pieces of Belstone and the Deathgrips (although this would of course ruin your idea of not using Brand Sets... just to compare the stats) – and you'd also have 20% armor on kill plus 1% armor regen and 10% health. Plus you'd be able to utilize a chest talent.

    In other words:
    We already have some neat examples how System Corruption can do a good job in PvE!

    I hilariously used as proto hunters fury before it was a thing, since bull rush and intimidate talent + shield + shotgun + bonus armor damage bonus from the set and the medkit being on cooldown would let me a be a weird proto tank that would do more damage the closer i was to people.

    But then hunters fury got released an is just better at doing that
