Meatwagon is the bounty that kicked my ass. I'm sure it's easy but I didn't see the people that came up behind me so I was being pinched.

Me too, but that was when I was still using the turret / healing drone combo which meant I rarely had skills deployable because reasons. After not seeing how to restart the bounty, I went on, and then the next day I found that tab in the map and re-did it with the revive hive + chem healer and squeaked through it with great difficulty and tremendous enjoyment and pressure (actually, IIRC, I hit a revive, got up and dropped a heal charge and switched to my short range weapon and finished him off just before he had a chance to drop me again).
Is it better to run offensive skills or healing skills? I went offensive and at times I feel like I’m struggling to take bigger groups in tight areas.
I'm running both the hive and chem launcher for heals for now. You can double tap the chem launcher to immediately drop it at your feet. Otherwise, soloing is tough in this game at times. The enemies just have so many HP, every fight gets drawn out. I never have enough health packs.
If you are running solo, Chem Launcher & Hive Reviver is your best option. If you play with others then Chem Launcher and an offensive skill.
Locked 30 @4k on X.
Honestly, the only real Issue I have is the LOD pop in. They really need to incorporate a fade in effect. It does look really awesome a lot of the time aside from that. I also didn't see the low sampling issue on the Volumetrics or AO during my playtime last night talked about in that PC comparison vid.

Nice. I always keep a marksman with a scope as a third weapon if I am either looking to start an encounter from great range or pick off a final straggler. I've been rocking the Police Mk17 since level 11 primary - it was I think my first blue drop, and I finally had a replacement blue rifle drop at level 16 (another Police Mk17). The secondary has pretty much alternated between smg/lmg with occasional experimentation with shotguns (do.not.like) and assault rifles (nice, but short range I want even more bullet spray), but I got a purple LMG at level 16 that I am enjoying. Now that I have all the perk-based mods and made the mistake of crafting some of the blueprint ones, I actually spend some time modding up the ones I get.
Sidearm right now is a sawed-off because it's purple and that's cool, even though I use it for nothing but shooting locks off doors.
Yeah I am finding so far that a good marksman rifle is key. You have to be able to toss a grenade and pop off a few quick headshots to thin out groups, otherwise you just get overrun. I sneak in reasonably close, pick off a few of the enemies who give me the most trouble (snipers, grenade launchers, etc) and then fall back. I haven't stumbled across a good LMG yet but hopefully soon.
Solo play is tons of fun but frustrating. I'm still dying a lot.

I prefer the lower mag size LMG like the RPK &L8a5 or something, they just shred armour. I have been sticking with the L8A though as the light extended mag gives it 60 bullet mag.
I just hit a supply drop for the first time took them all out looted one crate then the 2nd wave came in and wiped me out in seconds. I found a badass blue PP-19 sub machine gun I switched it out with my M60 and went back and took everyone no prob. This new gun shreds people quick!
EDIT: I also just found a really good blue MK16 assault rifle that is deadly at range. Now I’m running PP-19 main and the MK16 for secondary.

I have a few of them. They are in the first area you you get to just past the White House. They might be masked as question marks if you didn't explore every where. I've got two supply drops that refresh quite often.
Yes I found them in the first area. Near the bottom before you go into 2nd area.
I have only done about four drops sho fat and getting killed hasn't been a problem but I also usually end up only getting two of the three crates.
Got a purple rifle last night so I am off and running.
The more I play this the more it is becoming one of the best games I’ve played in years. I wish I had more time to play it.
Same. I get about an hour or 2 a week night. Weekends are better.
I was just wandering around and came to a control point. Didn't realize i was in a zone for people ranked 20 and higher when I'm just at 6. I didn't last long. Lol
I did a mission this morning where you have to take control of a telecommunications building and then go to the roof and shoot some Emps. Did all that only to die by someone hiding. I had to turn it off and go to work so i assume i have to do it all over again.... I'm using an LMG and switching between a M-1 and an assault rifle.
