Hi Guys, Me and my buddy are approaching level 28 (1 upgrade remaining) and we wish to start doing VoG soon. We've been reading/watching some guides and checking out some of your gear. What would you lvl 30's say is required as a minimum to enter a VoG raid (on normal)? If possible, please don't specify it on gun name because they are hard to obtain. It would be easier if you could say the damage type and minimum damage/quality required. Thank you for the help! I will edit this post so it will become a shortlist of requirements. EDIT: A summary of the answers: [b]The key factor:[/b] [u]Communication, have a headset to call out when in trouble and listen[/u] [b]General advice:[/b] Play with a setup you are comfortable with and upgrade your weapons/armor as much as possible. [b]Primary weapon:[/b] preferably an AR, with 267+ damage (Shadow Price e.g.). A maxed other gun will do the same trick, but pulse and handcannon aren't the best options except if your skilled with them. Having multiple guns is usefull to adjust to the different engagements. [b]Special weapon:[/b] VOID damage is key for the start, a void Fusion rifle is preferred (77 Wizard). A sniper rifle is very usefull to have in various encounters. [b]Heavy weapon:[/b] VOID damage on at least one gun, a rocket launcher for the last boss is nice. [b]Misc:[/b] Ammo Synthesis for any weapon, buy plenty of each. [b]Pref. Subclass:[/b] Sunsinger, Defender and Gunslinger. [b]Nice to have:[/b] one or more experienced players to lead the team EDIT 2: Thank you for the great feedback everyone! I hope this post will remain on forum for some while so every starter can use it.
