gear score more or less determines how powerful an item can be in the sense that it ties to the min/max thresholds of a given item. If it's like in Div 1, the stat itself dictates what the score is like.
80,000 - 100,000 damage per shot = 449
90,000 - 110,000 damage per shot = 450 gear score, etc.
with the other stats contributing to the ultimate score.. but yeah, it's possible for a purple at a lower score to outperform an HE if the HE hits the lower end of the ranges for its gear score... or for a piece of gear to falsely seem better because it hits max thresholds but on stats that aren't helpful to you.
The one I had was pretty egregious. It was a marksman rifle, epic, that did 97k. TwoHigh end version at the time I had of comparable GS was like 70k and 80k something.

How does the weekly Clan cache work? It looks like we got one (on the PS4) but when I go to the clan area it shows as empty? Is there something I need to do to get the award? Am I misinterpreting the game and there actually isn't a reward (yet)?
It should be in the big Clan stash box.
Correct! But when I open the big Clan Stash Box it is completely empty. I guess my actual questrion is "when do items appear in the big Clan Stash Box in the Clan area of the White House?" Because even though the clan menu seems to show that the PSN clan has been awarded a stash, I don't see any items.
In short: how does the Clan Stash work?

When you can pick one up you will get a loot message in the same area as the "new projects are available" cash pickup etc messages on the main game hud. The Clan Menu just shows your progress towards earning the stash when the reset ticks over which I think is tied to the Thursday maintenance. Once you get the notification that you have one, you can just go pick it up.

Ah! It should show up once the Clan weekly timer resets. So...I think it's tonight (or sometime today, anyways)

Up to the kill 4 hunters at once part of the Ivory Key riddles. I barely took out the two on my own so I'll probably need a bit of help for this part.
A piece of armor finally dropped with the Turtle Shell ability that regens armor when under cover, Holy Cow does that make the game A LOT easier.
It's so gooood, especially with the 2 piece badger brand set for 15% armour on kill.
I found a helmet earlier so now my gal looks like a proper tank (albiet a tank with bare arms to show off the guns)
I'm running this combination now and can confirm, rad as hell. Corrichan is my loot fairy. He shows up and loot happens!

I get so confused some times. I've had two encounters just this afternoon where a regular dude with an assault rifle hit me for 100,000+ damage with a single shot. That's like more than a boss sniper hits me for.

I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
Found a totally new way to get griefed today! Playing the Challenging Daily, and two of our players have been very passive, hanging back and sniping from the respawn area. We get to the boss area (no respawn), and unbeknownst to me they both go AFK outside of the area. So me and the other guy go in and start fighting Challenging four man content with two people, and eventually we wipe. In a no-respawn area. Because we're dead, we can't vote-kick, leave the group, respawn, anything.
So I wasted an hour with these two piece of shit players only to get trolled out of being able to finish the mission.

All my apparel drops dried out, havent seen anything in a couple days.
They overdid how rare those fragment keys are, from one Apparel Cache per level in Division 1 to one per 5-6 levels and this is even a worse “tier” type.
No, this isnt making me more likely to pay real money, it just annoys me.
decided to clear the first stronghold and man, that was kind of... weird. like less enemies than some of the actual missions vs the arena size. But I guess it's actually modeled after the invaded version, not the story one? IDK.
“I used to draw, hard to admit that I used to draw...”
Oof...tonight's been about the most frustrating night yet. All I wanted to do was run around and raid all the control point loot rooms, maybe kill the named that spawns next to the Crash Site control point. Fast travel up to The Vault and, while even in the loot room, a rescue operation spawns right on top of me and triggers the activity. I figure it'll be a quick thing, so I pop over shoot the 2 hostiles and complete the activity...which spawns an Outcast bounty. Okay, sure, why not. Short version, it's the bounty for the named fireaxe wielding tank that's down in a subway bore hole section that you have to rappel to get to.
Take 1: an invisible suicide bomber hits me right when named swings his axe (so I'm staggered and armor is stripped)
Take 2: the warmup wave (which includes 2 purple heavy gunners) lights me up while I'm still on the rappel line...thank you spawn system
Take 3: After spending way too long putting half a mag (so, 36 rounds) into a single level 28 red mook at point blank range with my 28 HE AUG (I swear there's something fucked up going on with the damage model with some of the unarmored enemies...that's the assault rifle AUG btw), I spend 5-7 minutes running in a circle trying to get a little distance between me and tank dude so I can put 10 bullets into him before I have to run away again (which is complicated because the sprint system is clunky as shit).
Eventually he goes down and explodes in loot. All level 28 purples (granted, I'm not even in WT1 yet). And I'm capped on crafting materials from salvaged goods...I guess 1000 E-credits was worth it?
Okay, so I'm pretty steamed up about that. But, at least the control point loot rooms was fruitful...managed to get an upgrade to my level 28 HE chest armor...but the +armor roll on the new piece is a bit lackluster (only about +1600), so I figure I'll just recalibrate it. Pick out an armor suit that has a pair of +firepower stats and a +2900 armor stat and sacrifice that to the recalibration gods. Who then decide that the +2900 armor should be +1300 health instead. Just...I don't even with this game.
Guess I won't be getting that Distinguished Service Distinction for a whiles, as I'm going to be needing to take several days off to get over this bullshit tonight.

Is there any particularly good source out there for figuring out builds or armor to pursue? most of the in-game equipment UI is so awful that it really discourages me from trying to wrap my head around that, and just pick items with bigger numbers all the time.
Examining piles and piles of loot is more fun when you understand what to do with them, eh?

Kind of underwhelmed by the Crossbow and find myself using it less and less.
I’d much rather have the Grenade Launcher but having to give up +15% AR damage and incendiary grenades isnt great.
Wish they didnt tie specific weapon damage perks to specializations.

love the game-
biggest frustration is that- on the challenging missions the arena design is a large part of the difficulty. the theater fight against outcasts is so bad as there's no where to go. The end fight at Roosevelt is also bad because there is so little good places to fight from.....
Speaking of handguns, I invested in the specialization perk to get the handgun. I open my inventory after and find a weak high end pistol with no damage and a null gear score?. I thought it would perhaps give me a bp to craft my own usable version, but no dice. Talk about a letdown
Frag grenades also seem a bust. You get one extra, but they each do less than half the damage of the default grenade and I don't feel the bleed damage is making up for it. Unless I build for damage against status, and even then it's a lot of work.
So far, aside from the signature weapon and maybe one ammo passive, the specialization are a letdown. Don't have any impetus to even fill the skill trees out
I sniper specialization is almost filled out, which is great, but to start working on the grenade launcher one requires me to sacrifice stuff in my build. Boo .
And with WT5 not here, yet, some of my work would be wasted.

Yeah if you want an underwhelming specialization weapon the marksmans 50 cal just seems to hit like a wet noodle. At least when you daryl you have an aoe explosion.

Hearing that sucks. I'm just a bit away from 20 and will probably hit that tonight after work and won't sniff 30 and WT1 till Sunday or Monday, but having felt the rush of using an M107 IRL, I was hoping to make some long distance calls in Div2.

I am not posting to disagree. You and too many other people have said this, so I assume it to be true (I haven't touched the other specs yet).
However, it can one-shot elites and I like the other perks in the trees. The attachment that it gives is nice, too!

It could be a pc versus console thing. But like the .50 doesn't feel that much stronger than like one of the bolt action marksman rifles with way less ammo. And like the extra single target damage doesn't seem to make up for the other two have an aoe.

@TTODewback Who is the marksman of our group, Seems to be rocking with it. Often removing the armor on a heavy elites head super fast and allowing the rest of use to gun it down. He's also pulled off some sick penetration multi kills.

Sometimes the sight doesn't sync up with the recoil after a shot which sucks for a precision weapon. Other than that it's pretty sweet. I'm slowly closing in on that 1,000,000 crit sweet spot.
And yeah I'm a whore for those multiple penetrations

Right now the Black Market Vendor has a Unique Marksman Rifle that auto-headshots with the top round out of any mag. so you can reload after every shot and get guaranteed maximum damage. It also gives you a free weapon skin (thatcanonlybeusedwiththatweapon)

When helping a buddy out who just started the game this week, I was walking through his missions, nigh invincible, when a marksman rifle dropped with that ability.
Eyebrows perked and stashed that one for calibration at a later time.
It's still not better than Ranger, imo, but it definitely allows for mistakes.
