Good games last night running around with @Grex, @Lala_Calamari, and @koldfront_kraig. Found out tier 5 named elites on challenge mode missions are no joke. Even with @Lala_Calamari sheparding us around and leading from the rear we couldn’t get past the last boss because we were to low. That being said the devs made the game worth playing again.
Seriously. In the five mins we spent just running around doing the elite bounties, I got more drops to increase my gear score than in the hour we spent dicking around in that daily mission.
Most of the Daily and Weekly HVTs are doable with two Shepard’s and two lower tier guys. I’ve found that running the Hard and Challenging Story missions (Napalm, Refugee Camp, Lincoln Tunnel and Police Academy) with lower tier guys, they get more drops from the NPCs than the rewards and the shepard just donates the shareable gear.
We started doing the HVTs at a higher leverl. Got one done didn’t get the 2nd. The 2nd was full of grenaders and you just couldn’t get set up at all. Grenades going off constantly. And I was the only one close to being geared to handled 34s.
