Been leveling up my Firewall specialization and feel like there's a lot of new interest in the game - last month, anytime I joined a heroic mission, I was just steamrolling them. This week, been in a lot of groups that are just getting destroyed by the sniper dogs, drones and heavies. I assume that means a lot of players coming back, or just leveled up to WT5 for the first time.
Looks like all I have left to do is get one more weekly reset of the raid for my blueprints and I'll have everything I need for TU8. Stoked!
I really love flamethrower and the dps over time. That chameleon still evades me and i need pyromaniac to settle the score in the dark zones. Agent out.
Just got my chameleon this morning!
...if you're wondering, the best way to farm is just joining random bounties. Otherwise, if Assault Rifle is targeted loot, do the mission if it's short on Challenging or Heroic for most loot possible, and if it's an area, focus on the activities that level up control points, then take them over at level 4. I think you can also level to 4, kill the boss, then die from a rano enemy and keep farming the Control Point over and over?
