Good advice in here, everyone. Thanks for the tips.

I appreciate the mixed feedback here. How long did it take you each to complete the Gunner quest?

Thank you for sharing this feedback with us. While I understand there can be A LOT of information to go through, I do (personally) believe the game can be enjoyed without having to keep it pressed under the microscope. That said, I feel where you're coming from for sure.

Actually adore this. Well done, and thank you for the share.

For the first point, keep in mind that Heroic difficulty got a tweak a while ago to more drastically chang... Read more

The relationship with Gear Sets and their placement in the power curve has always been complicated - and it can sort of depend on how you see the purpose/place of Gear Sets.

Looking at it like a side-by-side of The division, yea, they're definitely not as potent since they replace the various talents/attributes with the unlocked Set Bonuses (which arguably only pass the barrier for usage at 4 or 5 out of 6).

Keep in mind that Gear Sets quickly became the standard in The Division - almost no one in the endgame ran with high-end gear, they either did portions of different Gear Sets, one Gear Set, or something with Exotics (at least that of what I saw). Gear Sets in the Division 2, whether or not they are strong, useful, or unique, occupy a different role. They seem to accentuate and facilitate out-of-left-field playstyles rather than boosting already present ones.

For example, Striker (Div) made the solo-forward-pusher playstyle stronger, givin... Read more

So the Gunner, as a Specialization, is necessarily going to lock out usage of the other Specializations. You can only have one equipped at a time.
That means the Minigun will become your active special weapon and the Gunner Spec tree will become your active skill tree.

If you're running into issues with the grenades, make sure you swap onto the proper grenade - or swag onto the standard grenade before changing Specs.

Let me know if there's still any questions or confusion.

The trees were reset but I don't think actual progress was reduced to none... is that the issue you're experiencing or is it a matter of auto-reset trees?

So, this is a complicated question - but to address the title: No. The developers do not create exploits on purpose.

These types of systems and RNG vendors and clan levels and categories can be complicated, but the development team is not actively trying to ruin the game. They want, just like myself and I presume everybody else on these forums, to make the game as enjoyable and as fun as it can be.

There are several other assault rifles with higher damage, but with an rpm of 600-625.

Weapons are just badly balanced.
What is the most important base stat of a weapon? Magazine, RPM, Damage, etc?

Edit: I guess I'm just confused that considering there will likely always be a best in class for the various w... Read more

We can't go too into detail on how we combat spammers because then it would be seen, but know that it is just as frustrating for us as it probably is for you. There are measures taken to prevent it but sometimes, obviously, it can get through. Please feel free to report spam posts you see and/or PM myself, a forum mod, or another Community staff member and we will take care of it as soon as we can.

I'll be closing this thread now since these conversations typically go incredibly off topic and there isn't really much more to say.

Thank you!

I assumed that meant that it's optional to do it. But apparently i have to do it in order to be able to spec into the skill tree. Makes no sense at all. Why am i able to unlock it if i can't even spec into the skill tree? I'm so confused.

Thank you for the feedback! I took the liberty of briefly cleaning up the formatting to hopefully increase the readability and get more thoughts on these topics in here.

It's RNG being RNG my friend. It can be cruel, especially when there's a one particular thing in your sights.

I wish you only the best of luck in your rolls to come.

I'm pretty sure that's what the OP is referring to... but yes screenshots would be extremely helpful with this instance.

Here's the link for Support as well.

I've already seen some wild videos of Pistol-focused builds using the Holster... Buffing the (currently) only and best Exotic combo might be something approached with caution. What kind of live-fire situations are you finding yourselves in where the recoil is so detrimental?

Side note... @Deltium, it makes the Liberty sub-optimal in relation to which alternative?

Cool. I'll be closing this thread for flaming, trolling, and toxicity now. Thank you.

Some good science being done here. Thanks for the info iSayBoourns & co.

I think "Clans" was adopted primarily for its familiarity. While it might not have the best mesh with the overall world, there's no doubt that most probably know exactly what its function and scope might be just from the name and previous game literacy. You make a good point, though.
