Here's my situation. I'm SHD 570, and I am working on my library. Talents and Core attributes are fully collected from all weapons and gear.

Its the regular attributes that I'm having trouble with.

It seems that I have stagnated. I will do a couple countdowns with a nearly full bag. I go to the tinkering station, and maybe 1 or 2 things can be upgraded. It doesn't appear to matter what my targeted loot is.

Is there a trick to this? Do I need to craft the items I need with the attributes I need, and then sacrifice them?

I see folks getting this grind done, so I know there's a way.

Does anyone else get random notifications from ISAC that you've received a clan invite, then open your clan tab inbox and there's nothing there?

Could it be a glitch, or someone inviting the wrong person and canceling the invite?

Frustration: There's no calls for service pending. I see a vehicle leaving a road with two known dope houses. The vehicle just california rolled a stop sign and has no front plate (TX requires front and back). I turn around on him, and pick up the radio, and... boom, I get dispatched to something not in my patrol area because I'm "the closest unit" and it's not even something "fun." I understand they have no idea what we're actually up to out on the street, but dang thats annoying.

Don't get me started on the one or two that forget to take their finger off the PTT or gives the state of the union address on the radio rather than putting the remarks in the call comments.

Question: When does the annoyance stop and you just roll with it?

As the title states, can it be done, or do I need to do matchmaking?

I'm SHD 502, and tried striker, heartbreaker, and tipping scales. Keep getting by butt kicked by these two hunters.

I recently ventured into countdown and I'm having a blast. On one run, I had a teammate that had a gun that made music while he/she fired. It sounded kinda like a neighborhood ice-cream truck tune. What gun was it?

Newer player here...

I'm gonna try countdown for the first time this evening. I've seen GCROCK's and TuxedoBandido's videos on countdown but they're a bit old (2-3 years) and a 5 things video by NYL, but that seemed to be a bit of a short list.

What are the do's and don'ts of countdown a new player needs to know so they're not a drag on their team?

I'm not asking about builds, there's already tons and tons if that in the sub and on youtube. I'm asking about how to be a better teammate. I normally run solo on every other activity.
