I think I'm stuck in WT 3.

Did GWH and JTC to do DUA stronghold for WT2. Then did A&S and SA HQ to do Capitol Building for WT3. Now it tells me I need to do PEC (finished) and Federal Emergency Bunker to access Roosevelt Island. The problem is FEB is grayed out and never had an invaded red symbol on it and won't let me access it as invaded and still has it as a locked out requirement for Roosevelt Island. So I guess I'm stuck in WT3 until they fix that.

I thought they fixed those issues with people getting stuck in WT3?

Ubi support forum might be of more help than me. I never experienced those issues, so I am not well versed on them. Reddit, Discord can help as well.

Completed WT4 and basically done with the game right now. With WT5 delays there isn't much room for growth. Ran a few challenge strongholds, but as the gear is capped at mostly 450 drops havent been any better. None of the orange patterns or items either, which arent huge upgrades ATM

Was helping one of my buddies go through the WTs last night. I was able to join his session in which it wasn't grayed out and get credit for it luckily.

I hit gear score 440 last night. Now time to perfect my build as I prepare for the first run through Tidal Basin whenever it is released. I purposely did not upgrade my craft bench from WT1 so I can make skill mods in the 2-3k SP range, allowing me to have a decent skill build with above average gun damage. My GS449 M60 does 19.9K damage with a 100 round mag, GS448 AR does 17K damage with increased fire rate.

My build is going to be centered around lighting MFs on fire.

-Igniter Chem Launcher with 100% radius and 5 shots = Fire in a huge radius on demand. Too big for enemies to avoid in time
-Air Burst Seeker = Fire (switch to heal seeker when needed)
-Fire Nades = Fire errywhere


Notable stats for this build so far:
-3k SP - Enough to use the WT1 Skill mods I craft
-180k Armor
-25% AR damage
-15% LMG Damage
-12% All Weapon Damage
-45% Damage to elites
-10% damage to enemies on with status effects (Surv Skill) and everything always on fire
-My M60 has "Ignited" where it does 20% extra to enemies on fire
- 5 Shots on Igniter Chem Launcher with +100% radius
- Seeker cooldown is 60 sec

I have found I can effectively lock down whole spawns using this build as well as stop the crazy rushing we see in WT4. Fire stops everyone in their tracks long enough for me to drop at least half a LMG mag into them and I can paint the whole landscape with a fire cloud. I also drop a cloud on my blind side when fighting so I can light up any enemy that hits my flank then melt them while they burn. Loving it so far and I do not feel like I do inadequate damage in hard mode. Have not tried challenge mode. I might need to beef up defenses a little, but I have a feeling it wont matter and I'll lose too much gun damage to get there

I've gotten a few mid-450s but yeah I think we're maxed right now. Was a fun run up to this point. Now it's just waiting for more content.

Plead with your team to play smart. I won't spoil anything on the strongholds but the first one can be rough in spots. Hyenas are the worst when it comes to rushing like assholes.

Hyenas: Like fighting a bunch of meth heads that found a stockpile of weapons and armor. A lot of the time, their tactics are basically "get him", and yellow bars just run at you with no regard for their own safety. Completely blows any strategy you might have had.

Keep your team from spreading out too much. Don’t stay in the middle. They will flank both sides and you will die. We almost kicked one guy for Ramboing and causing us to lose contain. They are very fun though and I liked the challenge.

Also, I did a terrible thing. Stupid even. I cleared all the invaded missions and unlocked all strongholds. Now, I have to do control points to gear up. I got to 300 and cleared a stronghold to unlock the WT2 right away. I’m having trouble getting to 325 to unlock them for WT2. Stupid mistake.

Make sure that even if you don't want that 335 Shotty that dropped, you keep it at least in your stash. The game bases an "improvement" drop on what your top GS could possibly be with items you have in inventory or stash up to a few points over the cap for that WT.

WT4 = 450
WT3 = 400
WT2 = 350
WT1 = 300

You can generally get a few points above the cap in a given WT if you want to.

As far as gearing up goes: clearing CPs was the fastest way for me to gear up personally. Get a marksman or semi auto rifle with great range, a turret to watch your flank and either a heal or another offensive skill. Initiate the takeover, then back off picking off enemies. You get 2 great rolls of a weapon and a piece of gear in any CP you take over, plus whatever boxes have reset in the last 24 hours since you opened them.

I’ve run the 26 one.

It wasn’t that bad if you haven’t struggled with the game and mechanics thus far. It was really fun and I ran it with three randoms.

Do strongholds not bring AI levels up to yours?

What is the point in grinding to level up, just to have your enemies level up as a result? To unlock additional territories?

I don’t mind the grind if it results in my ability to own lower level enemies.

Because it would make the open world essentially pointless if you could one-shot every enemy.

It also would make power grinding people incredibly easy. Three lvl 26 players shouldn’t be able to have a lvl 28 or a lvl 30 player come in and escort them through a mission/stronghold.

Take your time, been here over a week and with the lack of any other real progression there isn't a lot. I don't pick up most drops anymore as it's all minimal gains if any, plus WT 5 dropping on the 5th will make it all pointless.

I'm soloing and having a hard time on the control points because of it. Anybody got any solo builds they want to let me in on that will help with that?

Regardless, with everyone focusing you, soloing will be hard no matter your build.

Even if you random que another teammate, having the mobs split between two targets is worth. Very different game solo and leads to a lot of deaths
