Random 3 if youre not rogue. If you are rogue it depends on your rogue level.

Anyone still playing? I'd love to have some decent folks to run around the DZ with... I keep getting back stabbed or smoked playing solo. I had one great group the first time I played and have been killed by Rogues time and time again since.... that said, it's fun as hell and feels great to actually pull off an extraction.

I really need to get back to playing, but haven't really had the time since Uncharted 4 came out.

We're on the PS4 and haven't been back since that last update where they made it possible to "cut the cord' to one's supplies and steal them along with other upgrades in the DZ. My friend went in there solo and regretted it. She got attacked by groups and got killed at least 3-4 times. It's basically back to not knowing who you can trust if others are around the evacuation zone. And not only that "Groups" were basically staying close to the zones just waiting to take others out...which is what happened to her. She said they were all fighting off the bad guys but when she put her stuff on the rope...stabbed in the back and they stole her stuff.....neither she or me has played in almost three weeks. Grabbed Fallout 4 on sale and been playing that instead.

Not sure if it's on PS4 or Xbox One (I'm on PC, by the way), there's more to do in solo environment now such as Search & Destroy, HVT (high value target), and Incursion (two locations) which prove some challenge for us and advance equipment.

K&AJones

I think we just needed a break from the fear of getting into a 'Destiny Raiding Rut' scenario...where you felt like it was daily missions and that's it. We completed he campaign story and was left with the daily stuff. Just wanted to break it up and try the DZ which was a disaster. We needed a bit more in the weapon area but you need to go into the DZ for a better chance at higher level gear. We just started to get a felling of being....stuck.

McHawkson

Actually, you don't have to go in DZ to get better equipment. I have been getting higher level gears by playing HVT. I'm at 155 gear rating and I haven't even go in DZ. I think the 1.2 patch made it happened.

I think you can also get high level gears in Incursion. I haven't try it yet - no team.

Rob V

This is my experience as well... dude helped me fight off an army of bad guys, grab some decent loot and then backstabbed me at extraction. At one point I had enough Phoenix credits to buy a nice weapon but my level wasn't high enough... now almost all my credits are gone and I'm still Level 11.

On another note, I found a box that requires a key to open... where can I find the keys?

McHawkson

Usually in DZ, unfortunately. I got one key by using Ubisoft point and there's other way that has not happened to me but let me quote from Game Rant website:

So maybe I'm playing wrong, but is there a faster way to level up? I'm about 20 hours in and only a level 23. Right now I'm basically doing side missions until I'm at a high enough level to play the next campaign mission. Is that the best way to progress through the game?

Rival11

Seriously just go back a few pages for all the tips on leveling up.

mattysemo247

You mean hot tips like this?

Yeah, I'm not looking to level up by joining a high level rank game and hanging back. Just thought there might be something out there I was missing, like double XP events and whatnot.

Rival11

Ha wtf man, why does everyone get so easily bent out of shape on these boards?? I placed the "Seriously" in front of my comments to even ensure that I wasn't being an ass and still get attitude.

No, you don't have to read my 'hot tips' - others have mentioned tips as well. You can also check out the news (it might not be called news) section in the game itself - they give you daily objectives and stuff.

mattysemo247

No worries man, I'm just giving you shit. Unfortunately most of people from my friends list have moved on from this game. So at this point, I'm either running solo or getting placed with some randoms that are not much fun to run with. It sucks though because I think it's still a really good game and I have the season pass, so I'm on board for the long haul.

K&AJones

We haven't touched the game in probably 3+ weeks....not after my friend was jumped on thee times in the DZ getting stabbed in the back. We might get back eventually but we're having fun in Fallout 4 communicating on all the wild off the wall stuff we see and still have Dying Light which thankfully the Devs haven't messed with.

We loved The Division and had a good time but I was getting a feeling of, "oh gee wiz....will the Devs just leave their hands off or they going to mess it up like Destiny was messed up with too much meddling".

McHawkson

Level up quickly? Just do the secondary missions and when you feel comfortable and do the campaign mission.

I'm now on third character and I'm just breeze through missions like it's nothing. I think I'm at level 15 and I did that in 8 hours.

spainlinx0

I would recommend not speeding through to the end game. The most fun I had was doing the regular missions with friends. The Dark Zone is where we all fell off, and most of us ended up trading the game in. However, I did have a lot of fun with the game before that.

Rob V

It's a grind to level up. I hit 30 the other day... I think the best way to earn XP are the main missions and then of course the side missions. There is no short-cut unfortunately; and certainly no double XP weekends or the like.

McHawkson

Anyone have tried Underground? It's DLC that released yesterday.

mattysemo247

You can't access the DLC until you complete the main story campaign, correct?

Rob V

Maybe I'm missing something but I unlocked the High Value Target missions at level 30; however, I need to earn "points" to actually play those missions? WTF, I have to do some downright difficult missions to play some more equally frustrating, difficult missions?

McHawkson

I think when you reach level 30. I could be wrong.

To earn Intel point, you need to go to any safe house and play Search and Destroy missions. You click on the map board to start it and go to three location within district and kill all bad guys. That will earn you some Intel points.

mattysemo247

I finally finished up the story mode and then went around doing some side stuff until I hit level 30. I think I'm going to take a small break and then continue with the DLC.

Rob V

I finished the main story about two weeks back and couldn't care less to go back. It's just too much of a grind and accomplishing some of the missions for HVT or the DZ is just too frustrating.

mattysemo247

I haven't even touched the DZ yet, and based on some of the responses here, probably never will.
