thank you so much for both the kind words and the kind contribution, i very much appreciate it

@@ikialove & appreciate the content get something new every time.

thing is that there already is a purple build build showcase, and they also feature in a more recent joke build build showcase. also i might actually be making a newer vid on purple builds aswell to try to entice more people to purple up.

you have to have 5 stacks at the end of the bossroom, and hope it gives a exotic pick. so you hvae to have those few extra's and usually also pummel to make that work. but it is not too hard, recently we have done a few deepruns, and most of the time the entire team is set up this way at around loop 12.

i generally prefer the 4 piece hotshot setup for myself, so i went with numbers of that. somewhere in the future i want to make a version of this but with 1 weapon and then several builds, but will be a while from now

@@Laranj89thanks man

back when this was made the elmo was the general go to, there is already a updated version here : kzbin.infoF_jrdgOk1TI , that one no longer uses elmo

thanks for your feedback. but most of what you want there is not going to improve much, all my vids are unscripted and not much edited and this is the downside of that. i could script and edit them and try to improve quality, but that would more likely lead to me just not making anything instead. the time and effort investment needed for those is beyond what i would or could do

@@ikia it does it in sections

the easy one to check for downtown west is to fast travel to bank, then go east till the little path on the right in the building, there is a little side room in there that is his spot. the easier one for west end is to fast travel to dz west, go east up the road and jump down on the right where you can, and head back on the lower path to a tunnel that is where the marker is. also at the bottom of the div2 vendor site there is a little map with a few other positions: rubenalamina.mx/the-division-weekly-vendor-reset/ there are many others in those zones, but for a few quick ones. also check the division 2 map site as they will have a few locations aswell.

in my case it is just playtime, i play a bit more than most, as if you take the shd lvl and divide it by hours played, i am in the 2-3 lvls per hour on that main account. while others are closer to an average of 5-10 lvl per hour with just xp farming more than i do. and those that used exploits like descent joining, faye or anderson when those were available will be way over 10 shd lvls per hour on average. overall nowadays, the faster lvling methods are just to openworld farm heroic 5 directives, and going for publics and hostage rescues. if you want a little more speed you can set up the bounty cheese method in downtown west as a additional way. and offcourse you can also go a little less savory way of using some of the exploity things like kenly. also this season alone there has been 4k shd available from 3x and 5x events, and likely future seasons will be the same.

@ikia Thank you for the extensive explanation. Here I have something. I will now follow your advice. Thank you for the information.

could be actually, i did not retest this claim, and might not have noticed it last time either that it was fixed already, as just out of habit we avoid skills that could get destroyed during this GE. just assumed that since the hostages still die, that skill were still also getting damaged. will give it a go later tonight on stream. thanks for letting me know.

what you stated there is not true at all, atleast not for a determined white death. outside of modifiers and GE's, leaving out vigi and 1 blue core will lose you the ability to start on a purple nonsniper/rusher already, let alone 3-4 blue cores. it is fine to go with more armour if you feel you need it, it is not fine to embellish what it can do. i am surpirised that you would even think you could slide that past without scrutiny.

@ikia oh, it is absolutely true, but i have to start with the Nemesis to Proc Headhunter, then I swap to my White Death and 1 tap everything from there. If I want to start with my White Death, then yes, I have to start on a Red Bar. I find this much better than just running an All Red Vigilance 1 shot Build. You prefer to hit as hard as possible with no Survivability....to each their own. 🤷‍♂️ PS: I worded it like that so that you would reply with scrutiny. Not to argue, but to start the conversation. 😉

yes it is true that if you use the nemesis, which was obviously that you were leaving that out, that is why i specified the white death, you can start on a purple with your setup, but you did not feel to need to include that at all did you in your original claim, making for a lie by omission. because there is a downside that you are also not talking about here, and that is that after that nemesis shot to start, you now have to get a white death headshot to start determined, on now aggressive and evasive enemies, tell me that that has never gotten you killed. instead a vigi full read can easily start on a purple and trigger determined on the white death with a easy shot on enemies standing still. survivability comes in many form, one of them is making sure there is nothing out there to survive from as quickly as possible.

@@ikia lie by omission? You posted the Nemesis IN the build you showcased.

for headhunter builds it is like you say there, it is the shots in their order, as headhunter stacks up, so you can know how hard it will hit if you get the same stats. then also on builds with hotshot there are 2 sets of damages per weapon as there we also have shots just normally, but also with hotshot prestacked to have the damage buff going for all the shots. and on the head hunter techtanks i am using the artificer hive, that is the technicians special hive that you unlock in the specialization tree. as that will heal the shield every ten seconds even if you just have it on your back without deploying it.

@@ikia ​ Build 1.11 HF HH HeadHunterFury Regulus/Shotty is this restorer hive?

on the non tecktanks, like 1.11, it is the reviver hive. it gets used on basically any red build that does not care much about it skills, as it will autodeploy revive you if you go down.

it does not seem like they are available to people that missed those seasons, atleast for now, hopefully they will fix that in the future. for now it is then best to just farm with targeted loot, the only piece that really is hard to get that it would need crafting is the chest, and then you can go with the sacrifice version instead with the lengmo knee pad instead of the fox in that slot

the written version is already done in the guides folder over here : drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ZjgPjFe5WL3zvkJje1Si2fgLxgVLij8I if you want a peek before it is turned into a video version.

this gets talked about at length in the video, this builds tick are much higher, and that opens up the ticks ability to kill and keep constantly going.
