Division 2: Iron Lung, Third Attribute

[@DodRegnbue]

Thanks to AdmiralOrange for finding an error in the Math, I need to go back over it, as I am not sure where the error is, and it does not change the conclusion of the BIS being ROF. Though the gap does become circumstantial. This also means that CHC could potentially become very powerful with the right set up.

Gonna re-roll 4 rate of fire try get that laser effect with umbra

[@Raucey]

The aquaducts pipes are an enigma in the game. They don't take crit, health damage, damage from striker stacks, or basically any other mutliplier. Its really just weapon damage x rpm, so rpm is actually bis for that setup.

[@DodRegnbue]

I sit corrected.

[@1oace768]

I actually like that a lot of the new exotics have more interesting talents that aren't just "do a lotta damage." While also still doin a lotta damage cause of their attachments and stats.

[@nuggytube]

I went with Crit Chance since the IL comes with nice crit damage mods and the third attribute gives 9.5% crit chance, which is a decent chunk.

[@mikerzisu9508]

Somewhat related... try this build. Named petrov chest with perfect braced, contractors gloves and 4 piece striker with gunner. The reload speed while in cover is very quick, and the damage is pretty good. I am getting close to a million per crit at full striker stacks and my iron lung isn't fully optimized or proficient yet. My chc is about 53% and chd I believe is over 100%. Don't recall exactly.

[@wyattmaniscalco3090]

I see you’re using the Unwavering trick in this video too lol. It took a few minutes of practice but I ended up getting the hang of it

[@stevo6ix]

Got mine already rolled with rate of fire. I like using perfect brace and coyotes with it then insert gear set, i know i give up damage but the reload is much better. Been having fun with strikers, ongoing, and eclipse.

[@MrChillywilly7]

Argreed on the mods being weird, but the talent is pretty good, why because that anoying suppress mechanic gets less anoying because enemies on 🔥 they get up, and away they go! Biggest anoying thing is the magazine size! More reloading or stacking weapon handeling, sacrifices the damage...

[@youhou21]

Not sure if you saw this video by Dod, but using the Unwavering talent helps with reload speed : kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWXFpICZqNWShpIsi=RwHcttxhH1O_Ivjt

[@Swampdonkey796]

I usually put health since I’ll be using contractors Well that’s the first thing you mentioned lol

[@saintanubis6177]

Appreciate your math DOD.

[@elfmz]

I totally agree with RoF and CHC but I believe once again you are substantially underestimating Health damage in game. The only stats I have ever seen on this showed close to 60% health damage on average in Heroic solo missions and Control Points. I would love to see proper stats on legendaries (which I assume are still high due to enemy skills, robotics and chungas), Health is definititely not important on the new Incursion and Countdown

[@Knurrfaucher]

The biggest flaw of this LMG is the magazine capacity. I'm a bit angry that it comes with a freaking standard 35 round magazine, because there are very few reasons to play a LMG without gunner specialisation, which would give you another 15 rounds due the skilled magazine attachment (50 rounds). So I went "magazine capacity" on the third bar (for my build) I'm playing this babe with 4x ongoing directive (status roll) , constructors gloves (status), the anarchist's cookbook backpack (red core, status, critchance) and 3x crit chance mods. It's a nice support build with "decent" damage... and the talent of the Iron Lunge helps to keep status if blood bullets are went out. Only problem... you have to reload half of the fight, of every fight, in every situation, versus every enemy. If you get all things right, all buffs are up and it's time to dish out some damage... RELOAD! So frustrating. So please, at least give us the gunner magazine attachment or reduce the reloading time... or both. Edit: I know the St. Elmo didn't justified status on your gear... the same for Iron Lunge, but in combination with ongoing directive, status is a nice quality of life bost to keep the set (on)going, and the damage lost is not too bad.

[@ghenghisprawn6034]

They hosed us on the crit chance for this weapon.

[@wilbertb1929]

I cant think of a time I would ever use Iron Lung.

[@Romanus-]

Well…it’s an LMG so it’s always going to fall short just due to the reload, accuracy, etc As far as LMG’s go, it’s pretty good IMO

[@mikerzisu9508]

You would be surprised. It actually is pretty fun to use

[@bazookas.]

By far the highest base dps of any LMG

[@mikerzisu9508]

@@bazookas. you mean of any lmg

[@bazookas.]

@@mikerzisu9508 oh yeah bruh

[@ZomBSnatcher4671]

What about 15 or 20 percent reload speed? It takes forever to reload most LMGs

[@davidhache1267]

How would you fix lmgs to make them more competitive?

[@Swampdonkey796]

Completely remove the suppress mechanic. That alone would probably be enough

[@mikerzisu9508]

​@Swampdonkey8732 this right here. The suppress is the worst to deal with

[@Raucey]

Remove the suppression mechanic and also allow it to be used with crusader/striker shields. There's just no balance reason why this should be a thing.

[@numeroVLAD]

Did you forget to put crit damage inserts as you gained crit chance?

[@daansw3r935]

Wouldn't it depend on how exactly you're using Iron Lung? I don't run it in my DPS builds, but instead with a Exuro/Vile build (almost like a EP type setup) So wouldn't DTA be the best option here?

[@rRobertSmith]

Iron lung takes way to long reload even with the residual burn, I will be melting mine down.

[@robertkvasnika5852]

Use it with the ninjabike messenger kneepads so that you reload instantly when vaulting, plus you get 25 % extra armor for 5 seconds.

[@jbjb6955]

Weapon handling 👍

[@Doofestier]

If you play PVP you Roll DTA instead of Health. For PVE Health dmg is Fine

[@Hulk_smash-xg8wv]

All of my lmg’s have health damage!!

[@salimrandall]

The magazine is too small. 85 rounds is not enough. I just made this comment for the algorithm.
