THEY BROKE LMGS, Part 2 / Ouro-Heartbreaker-Drone & Devil's Due-LMG /#Gameplay #Division2 #TomClancy

Build is here, but it doesn't work until LMGs are fixed: https://youtu.be/0M8TYd2LspI

The video was SUPPOSED to be a test of a revised Ouro-Heartbreaker-Drone build using an LMG and Devil's Due backpack... but the latest patch has broken LMGs, in terms of their sound and some weapon talents.

The previous Ouro-Heartbreaker-Drone build variant suffered two problems, and IMHO these are "make or break" issues.

1) Bonus Armor was either too much or too little... feast or famine. 200% Bonus Armor from Heartbreaker set is clearly on some kind of cooldown, which means the gain is not unlimited and the armor set's mechanic could simply not work at a crucial moment in combat. It is hoped that replacing the Heartbreaker backpack with Devil's Due will smooth out the Armor gains in combat.

2) The build's mid-range damage is horrible with the Police M4. The goal of this build is to do solo Legendary missions. However, Heartbreaker and its available pulse weapons have trouble against the Black Tusk's Warhounds and Minitanks, and these enemies are common in Legendary missions. Being able to kill them quickly at a distance is unfortunately a deal breaker for any build that hopes to do solo Legendary. This is why St. Elmo's Engine is so widely used with Striker gear set.

Otherwise, the build is stellar in Heroic difficulty. But many builds work in Heroic difficulty, and the Ouro-Heartbreaker-Drone level of survivability isn't needed.

Until Ubisoft/Massive fixes LMGs, I'll have trouble testing these build variants because they depend on replacing the Police M4 with a Frenzy LMG (to address issue #2 above).
