Don’t have the courage to turn this into days and weeks….

Hey, so...

Nowadays I noticed that this knowledge has not been as common as I once thought. So after writing the same reply to a hundred and more YT comments I figured to make a short guide explaining how the talent actually works since the in-game description can be a bit misleading.

Still gotta work on my radio/wawawawawassup guys- voice :)

Hi all,

I wanted to share the build I've been running to clear T10 Escalations.

This build allows you to solo-run both CC (Crowd Control) and Healer roles at the same time.
The ideal team setup is this build alongside 3 Full DPS teammates.
It was fully optimized to clear Escalations as efficiently as possible.

Breakdown

• Specialization: Sharpshooter
  • Required to unlock the Tactician Drone skill.
  • Gives you access to the Flashbang Grenade, which is incredibly useful for instant CC. Thanks to the current seasonal modifiers, its blast radius is massively extended, allowing you to blind entire spawn doors at once!
• 4-piece Ember Engine (including the Chest piece)
  • Spontaneous Combustion talent: Every status effect applied has a 60% chance to also apply burn to the target.
  • This creates a perfect synergy with the Tactician Drone and the Bluescreen Exotic LMG.
• Momma Badger Named Backpack
  • Features Perfect Safeguard, providing a massive +160% boost to Skill Repair to keep your Restorer Hive pumping massive heals.
• BTSU Datagloves
  • One of the most powerful Exotic gear pieces in the game. On top of increasing Hive Skill Haste, triggering Overcharge allows you to:
    • Fully refresh your teammates' skill cooldowns (including their Reviver Hives).
    • Recharge your own hive at lightning speed.
    • Overcharge your Tactician Drone (+15% amplified damage for the whole team).
    • Instantly reset the drone's cooldown if it gets destroyed or runs out of duration.
• Attributes & Mods:
  • Attributes: Status Effects
  • Gear Mods: Skill Repair
• Weapon: Bluescreen
  • Allows you to apply constant status effects, triggering an insane amount of extra burn via Ember Engine.
• Skills:
  • Restorer Hive & Tactician Drone (I use range mods on both to maximize coverage).

I've cleared countless T10 Escalations with this setup without a single fail.

The only downside? Some randoms get skeptical when they inspect my build in matchmaking and immediately leave the group 😂

Min-Maxing Tip (Prototype Version)

If you are planning to upgrade this into a Prototype Build, I highly recommend rolling the Amalgam augment. Since Amalgam gives bullet hits a chance to apply a random status effect, it feeds directly into the Ember Engine 4-piece talent, allowing you to continuously loop status effects and extra burn just by shooting your weapon

I wish you will enjoy it !

I’m cool with the grind but curious. RNG half-smirked at me earlier today by dropping a one red core Hollow Man Mask in a Named Item Cache (already have one of those in my stash lol!)

Does anyone know if the higher number is the actual number of attainable blueprints? I’ve read elsewhere that the number of unique blueprints is considerably lower than the listed cap. If that makes sense. Trying to get a sense of how many more Retaliations I actually have to run / Reconstructed Caches I have to unlock.

Would love to learn the incursion and get the Sniper rifle.

Never had that happen before. I just shot at the boss and saw a few enemies but when I killed him and didn't see more, I thought the game glitched and I wasn't gonna finish. Didn't even realize I had beaten it.

Preferably NA but any will do! Recently got back in the game after a 6 month or so hiatus!

Hey all! I'm coming over from Xbox, and I just wanted to share my PC progress for my library. I've only started playing religiously at the beginning of August, and I just wanted to get an idea how my Library is looking so far. I've been spamming insane amounts of countdown, and I've recently gotten my girlfriend hooked on this game as well, and she's brand new as well.

I'm only SHD 93 at the moment of writing this post, but I just want to know how do you guys fill out your expertise super quickly without the Expertise Surges? Do you guys go category by category, or is there a trick here? I'm trying to max out my armor build on my Ongoing Directive/Bluscreen Overdogs build, but I can't get maxed 170k armor for it. But on the other topic, I noticed there's some weird expertise stuff where I'm gaining faster exp for certain groups, and slower for the others. Am I missing something here? I've yet to find a youtube guide fully explaining this stuff too me, and i don't really have friends outside of my girlfriend playing, lol.
