I am looking at this Villa and I'm confused as to why using the same dates in 2027 it's £8500 but in 2028 it's £4700.

If i book the £4700 will they cancel it?

Hi all,

Wondering if anyone else has had this problem....

My wife has a Samsung phone with the Natwest app on

I had a Samsung phone with the Natwest app on

Both the apps use the same account with the same passcode.

All was fine, i could log into mine and she could log into hers without any problems.

I recently bought a iPhone 17 and installed the Natwest app and all worked fine.

The problem was it stopped my wife's app working saying "Incorrect Passcode".

So i un-installed her app and re-installed it and logged in, all was fine but now i can't log into my one, it says the same thing "Incorrect Passcode"

I have tried same passcodes and different passcodes for each other but nothing works.

So right now only one of us can use the Natwest app.

Any ideas of what can cause this?

Cheers

Jay

Has Escalation dropped off?

Platform: XSX

• I have been matchmaking for tier 6 for ages now and nothing.
• I have been matchmaking for tier 8 for ages so i can get to tier 9 and then tier 10 and nothing.
• I have started a group for tier 6 and nothing.
• I have started a group for tier 8 and nothing.

It seems to have dropped of massively to try and get into Escalation.

P.S I ain't being specific on mission, I'm choosing anything.

As per title "Has anyone Prototyped an Equalizer chest with WD?"

I have prototyped three of them now and they all came out with max CHC.

I have got max WD on everything apart from that elusive chest piece:

Hell, it took ages to get Echo on everything

Stats

Pretty much happy with this as it does not require the Equalizer:

T7+

Stats

• Had 8 prototype cores in my resources
• Had 65 exotic components in my resources
• Done Jefferson Plaza (T6) and 4 prototype drops, dismantled then all and ended up with:
• Still 8 prototype cores, but my exotic components went up to 71
• I presume 4 from cores and 2 from completion.

Damm....

Has this happened to anyone else?

EDIT: Just bought 2 caches and they was fine, maybe Jefferson Plaza and Hana-U is bugged, well for me anyway (XSX)

Gear set loot is not so bad with rainbow loot as there is not that many attributes.

Yellow loot, really bad, chances of rainbow loot is 99% due to how many attributes.

NOTE: Time for re-rolling is due IMO, now rather than later.

p.s Don't get me wrong there is gonna be some very lucky player out there where the stars have aligned.

NOTE: This is based on T6 in Escalation, nothing to do with T7+....I have a different build for that.

My mind says to me surely Contractors is better considering the LMG damage, Damage to Armor, extra Echo.....but when i compare them too Overdogs when playing i feel that Overdogs beats them.

I have tested more times than i probably should of but my kill count with Overdogs is always better, and my TTK also feels better.

Your thoughts?

Who's said we can't get along

This will probably not apply as much too:

• Clan members who play with each other on a daily basis and maybe using a mic.
• Expertise level 30 players who have good gear and understand the game mechanics.

But for players like myself who is level 30 expertise and does not play with clan members and has decent gear (not boasting), matchmaking with low level SHD players who is not expertise level 30 and does have not that much understanding of the game mechanics.

Is a Nightmare......their lack of Dps and lack of understanding how each piece of gear works with each other and what mods to equip etc etc results in me getting pretty much ALL the aggro

I can barely pop my head up without enemies gunning for me, they pretty much ignore all others and go "Gun Ho" for me.

Massive, why did you create Escalation where any tom dick or harry can join?

p.s This is not a dig at low level players in the game, you did not cause this problem.

p.s Also i would like to state there is some real good low level SHD players out there who can really hold their own and do great, but they are quite rare.

Was doing a tier 6 escalation yesterday and all was going great, clearing an area and there was one sniper right at the back, he shot me once (what a shot) but that was not the end.

I got behind some really good cover to bandage up and thought whilst i do that the rest of the team can take him out.

I looked up and there was a gap so thin that you would struggle to get a piece of A4 paper through, sniper ignored the other three shooting at him and shot right through that gap.

Boom, back to bandaging....LMAO

Damm you sneaky little sniper!

Is there a threat mechanic in Escalation?

Sometimes it feels like every fire bullet and turret is just aiming for me, i notice this a lot more when i group up with low level SHD players.

I know there maybe some subtle threat mechanic but damm, they were gunning for me.....lmao

Thoughts?

A day for some reason you have potato aim and nothing goes right?

A day for some reason you are playing so good you feel unstoppable?

I think it's a mood thing.....yesterday i must of been in a bad mood....lmao

Right now I'm using a MK46 with Frenzy and 3rd attribute is CHC for Escalation.

Right now I'm sitting at 58.5% CHC and 148% CHD.

With 4 x Strikers, 1 x Equalizer, 1 x Contractors Gloves.

Looking to equip HollowMan Mask (when i get it)

What do you go for with a MK46:

• Damage to Armor
• Damage to Health
• Critical Hit Chance

Will lose quite a bit of CHC 14.5% if i go for DTA or DTH so will have to drop some CHD mods too CHC mods to compensate, around 24% CHD loss.

Thoughts?

The following is based on using a MK46 with Frenzy (Main) and Lexington (Both with Echo)

1 x Amalgam, rest Echo

Both combos will be using Striker Mask, Striker Backpack.

Tier 1 - 5: What do you think is the best combo using 4 piece Striker with the following?

• Holster: Salvo
• Kneepads: Fox’s Prayer
• Kneepads: Turmoil
• Gloves: Contractor’s Gloves
• Gloves: Overdogs
• Chest: Striker
• Chest: Equalizer
• Chest: Ceska with Obliterate

Tier 6-10: What do you think is the best combo using 4 piece Striker with the following?

• Holster: Salvo
• Kneepads: Fox’s Prayer
• Kneepads: Turmoil
• Gloves: Contractor’s Gloves
• Gloves: Overdogs
• Chest: Striker
• Chest: Equalizer
• Chest: Ceska with Obliterate

Right now for Tier 1-5 I'm using:

• MK46 with Frenzy (Main) and Lexington (Both with Echo)
• Mask: Striker (Amalgam)
• Chest: Equalizer (Echo)
• Holster: Striker (Echo)
• Backpack: Striker (Echo)
• Gloves: Overdogs
• Kneepads: Striker (Echo)

Thoughts?

p.s Apologies if i have missed some brands out of the above, it's what come from the top of my head.

Leveled up a clan to 30 Solo, I ain't got a clue why i done it though....LMAO

Reached 30 last night.

p.s The other 3 members are my sons who stopped playing the game 2 years ago, i needed them to join so i could create the clan.

A Very Lonely Clan

Now spent over 1k Prototype Cores trying to re-roll Echo on Knee Pads.

I'm all for RNG but this is very demoralizing.

p.s Yes i have crafted new ones to reset the re-roll costs.

Oh well, gotta keep trying i suppose.

Saw a level 7 player looking at the Escalation menu at BoO and thought i would check out their gear just out of curiosity.....

https://preview.redd.it/nqhi1sbuuj4h1.jpg?width=2064&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=64d89a178920319b0c9b19804cd95feb7fee1231

And thought, no way......lol

Then i started matchmaking for a Tier 5 and got a invite and this person ended up in the same group...shudder

I have never seen a player die so quick....lmao....gotta admit though it did make me chuckle.

Seriously, there should be some restrictions to Escalation.

Escalation for end game players.....yeah right....lmao

p.s We done it but if that was me and my tokens i would of left.....hats off too the leader.

I know massive said Prototype gear was based on end game players...BUT

Why is it easier to get Prototype Cores than Exotic Components considering Exotic Components are used mainly for end game players with the bench?

Maybe level 30 Expertise players should get a reward at the end of an Escalation mission which rewards them with Exotic Components?

Just a thought.

Just some tips i thought i would share.....

Helicopter area, use the mounted guns to take out the immune boxes, kill Helicopter.

Helicopter area, if the enemies become immune it means you need to take out an immune box, oh and the BTSU9 squad....Scorpio is your friend here.

Last area with boss, there is four pillars, two members at the start and two members at the far back so you all can have a clear view of the pillars, when you hear the EMP noise their will be a light on one of the pillars at the top, shoot it to stop the EMP blast.

There is other group ways of positioning but this works.

Oh for a easy breezy mission:

Survivalist Spec

• 3 x Protection from Elite mods
• 1 x Convert 1 (defense)
• 1 x Compress (defense)
• 1 x Nullify

This will give you around 70% PFE

I myself use:

• Striker: Mask (PFE Mod)/Gloves/Kneed Pads/Holster
• Memento Backpack (PFE Mod) - (optional, can use a different backpack but it has got me out of a scrap)
• Equalizer Chest (PFE Mod)
• 3 x Blue Cores including Memento

Hope this helps.

Maybe because i favorite them all....not sure but zero loss here.
