[@TuxedoBandido]

do you have all 6 of the must have exotics?

[@bmw575]

nope

[@jbidd135]

I'm only SHD 225, I have a pretty decent amount but I cannot for the life of me get the memento or the ninja bike backpack to drop, and solo many builds require them

[@devils7495]

just missing the Ouroboros

[@thebeardedwarden514]

Yes, missing the nemesis though

[@sdotphoenix]

​@@jbidd135farm countdown with backpacks as loot

[@Dynasty1818]

As a returning player, seems like a great way to get exotics is to do Countdown and ensure you kill the hunters there (just follow the pack around, most of the time people run between hunters). Don't worry, they die easily as there's 8 of you vs 1, sometimes 2. By killing them and collecting the tags they drop (3 each) you get more Countdown points at the end of the 15 min run. You spend those points at a Countdown vendor, and it costs 220I think it is for an Exotic Cache. Random exotic inside. At the same time, you should be loot targetting on whatever specific exotic you want (so for me, I want the Memento backpack, so I targetted backpacks on Countdown to get a chance of a backpack exotic dropping).

[@Greenbstr]

Great breakdown

[@Newfh]

Ouroboros eludes me. Great video, always learning new things. Surprised regulus isn’t on there. Thanks again!

[@theslimeylimey]

Gotta say Tux, your video production is top tier and always a pleasure to watch. If this game was more popular you would have a lot more well deserved subscribers reflecting the work you are putting in.

[@Ananonymousguy-nk9oj]

The St. Elmo's and the Eagle Bearer are an absolute must, you don't need both though, just one of the two. They're more useful than any other exotic shown in the video, that's why you'll see half of the playerbase using the St. Elmo's

[@timmigrant6597]

They each have different strengths. St Elmo's is for slowing down powerhouses targeting the body, eagle bearer is for accurate headshot/target players. There is a reason eagle dropped on Dark Hours.

[@easy6427]

Got my St Elmos earlier today, still looking for the big horn

[@Ananonymousguy-nk9oj]

@@easy6427You can only get the bighorn on legendary missions and legendary Summit in case you don't know, but i don't recommend you to go after it unless you like to go for headshots since that's what makes it good

[@airborne1868]

@@Ananonymousguy-nk9oj Bighorn also drops in the DZ

[@ghostpimp]

It’s funny how st elmo is better but it’s easier to get lmao

[@lamontbell7336]

The catharsis mask because of the heels and the removal of status effect

[@raygotz1069]

Love your videos! Have you ever heard of the damage stacker build? We use it in our raids and one player buffs the entire team. Survivalist (status effects), opportunistic, overwatch, true patriot 4 piece, you run SVD with lucky shot due to ammo economy, then Scorpio. All reds and you run the healer ball because again applying heals amplifies damage and it runs around the map for you.

[@GG-uy5wo]

Do you have a link for the build ?

[@corbinmusic7161]

I need to know what cosmetics you were wearing in the beginning

[@sixeightwhiskey0627]

the mantis and the sweet dreams they do exactly what you want from them.

[@hamishblair7504]

Sweet Dreams is always good for the ‘melee attack …….’ For global events.

[@ddrew1973]

I like the SD on legendary for the non elites

[@beyondheartmindsoul3443]

Sweet dreams is pretty nerfed now. It only works on enemies who are Purple and red but not on elites. Just leave it in your stash box as trophy. Use the scorpio its just simply powerful but beware of its use on bosses in Raids and incursions, it backfires on you

[@yen9145]

@@beyondheartmindsoul3443explain how

[@sixeightwhiskey0627]

@@beyondheartmindsoul3443 sweet dreams is a build specific type. like the capacitor, which shines on skill builds. the sweet dream is suited for tank builds, where you are in close range.. The tank role in general manages the elites, Drone operator can be forced to kill them selves. Bomber and medics can be forced out of cover... plus tanks should be running some PFE resistance. Red and purples are a danger soo the sweet dreams does exactly what you need for a tank. thats why you need it, because every agent should have a tank build available.

[@timothybennettjr.9387]

You can aquire the nemesis if someone has it already and it ddrops for em but outher then that the only outher way is how you said it

[@lukethepotatoking]

I got a striker build with coyote mask and st elmo. Its so satisfying

[@pinealpennsy4219]

Your cover art is insane!!!

[@Dynasty1818]

It's clearly AI generated.

[@ruler8008]

for me it’s bighorn the headshot dmg it provides n the along w the body shot dmg on marksmen w providence is crazy

[@TheRedStateBlue]

Waveform is a must for dps skill builds.

[@MrPawsPause]

Even though the backpack are amazing, it just sucks that you miss out on talents like combined arms. Idk if it’s worth losing that

[@striker5501]

LOL at 19:25 "I like to run this build with a lot of armor... well because I can due to strikers" (accurate); but then shows a pic of the build with nothing but red cores.

[@chanmax2]

I'm pretty confident to get the eagle bearer in less than 450 dark hours raid, there is a lot of players who still can't get it after dozens of raids, I'm starting wondering if this 10% chance of drop isn't just an urban legend.

[@Goldy_44]

For me it's St.Elmo, Memento, Scorpio, Ouroboros, and Coyote Mask. Used to use status all the time but eclipse feels weaker to me so vile wouldn't be on my list.

[@igorshchiglik1331]

5 out of 6. 😊 need the vile mask

[@joshblahnamehere2308]

Same man

[@Grin-TLT]

@TuxedoBandido Sorry, I don't understand how to get the Nemesis sniper rifle. In the video you say that you need to stronghold Hyenas. But everywhere it is written that you need to make 3-4 different Strongholds in the invasion mode. Help me figure it out.

[@TuxedoBandido]

It is invaded missions. If I said something different I didn’t mean to. Tidal basin is important. You must get the adrestia named exotic from the locked room at the end just before boss fight. You get the key in the third checkpoint.

[@Jegern]

I wish the devs would show the Backfire some love and buff its chc and chd mods, as its now easier to make different immune builds and give it Dtoc.

[@baconation2637]

I'm piecing together the 2 other builds from your "what to do after 40" video. I've been lucky and gotten the st elmo, memento, ninja backpack, coyote mask, and capacitor. How would you build out the skill build with an exotic gear piece? Remove the picaros holster or don't bother?

[@TuxedoBandido]

Oh wow. You got really lucky. The memento backpack on the skill build is amazing

[@baconation2637]

@@TuxedoBandido Would you drop the 1 piece Brazos or the 1 piece Pallisades to get momento in there?

[@graphosencrenoir4006]

for solo players that do not have a clan/team, Memento is holy grail...skill build, dps or hybrid build it can be use on all these and help keeping you alive.

[@flizz420]

yh but u also have to have a decent enough build to kill quick for the memento to really work

[@graphosencrenoir4006]

@@flizz420 even just passive, having armor, skills, and dmg in the same slot is useful...

[@DrGameChanger716]

I can’t for the life of me get the ninja bag it leaves me sad I got st Elmo love it but I would like the EB as well……question I’m so bad at pvp… I’m too lvl 40 shd lvl 250 with an all red striker/a have an all blue bullet leech. I have most minor cores high lvl but I can never down another player 1 on 1 what am I missing?

[@user-vr3fk8bb5b]

And for the nemesis, you have to grid out how many places to find the pieces to build it?

[@beyondheartmindsoul3443]

No only on the map section on the days of the week where it shows Sniper or just choose sniper and play count down on challenging or heroic, it will drop after couple of runs there, if not use the cash from count down to buy exotic caches at the count down station in the white house on the left next to the seasons station. Also, do the weekly projection, there's one where you donate items and you get exotic cache. Thats how you grind for it. But it will drop on countdown if you do couple of runs eventually if you target loot is sniper

[@airborne1868]

Just look up " How to get the Nemesis " tons of videos out there .

[@downsincebirth]

Is ninja bike only in targeted loot or can be in exotic caches too? My buddy got one from a cache but not sure if he had it already, trying to figure out if I’m wasting time on countdown with backpack targeted loot

[@lukeanderson9659]

Yes you can get it in the caches

[@rrrrr5118]

I’ve been trying to do the same thing as you in countdown. I ended up getting one in a exotic cache

[@airborne1868]

Caches , countdown , random drops in the open world or missions . It's in the general loot pool .

[@odinga77]

I got all most of my exotics from conflict

[@molimits2]

No Pestilence? Really? Would replace Vile with it, you get the ticks but can do so many builds with it as the weapon it really is almost build-agnostic work with almost anything Can't complain by other choices but respect the Pesti man 😁

[@OutlawTorn33]

He highlighted the fact that Vile works great with status effects. Pestilence does not help out that build.

[@molimits2]

@@OutlawTorn33 I think rating is overall must have exotics not just related to status effect and IMO Pestilence deserves to be on the list

[@beyondheartmindsoul3443]

Yeah on Rosovelt Island, mostly the mission. You just do it on challenging, it falls for you there, if not do several runs till you get coyote or just do the Map on day of the week where the masks are marked as target loot on section of the map either in washington if not then check NYC, change world settings to challenging or heroic and play as skill build with drone and turret and take down those control point(i got mine falling from one of the enemies on heroic). or set target loot in count down on challenging or heroic hopefully it falls for you.

No way. This isn’t ranking list. Memento is god tier. This is what new players need to get to be able to play all content (eg incursions) and take a roll (eg healer).
