How to handle Daily Ops

[Paulo2400]

I've tried to go in all alone. But at my lvl 130 it was just too hard going solo. So if I want to do a Daily Ops, what do I have to do? Join a public Daily Ops Team? But what happens then? How do I know if somebody on the team chooses a Daily Ops? And if so, do I have to follow?

You join or make a public daily ops team

You can do them all solo pretty easy

Their are two types

1 - A defend the zone one

This is the old one

You can do it solo in about 6-7 minutes generally
Every player with you in the area cuts 20 seconds off the time (x2) so having a team of 4 can drop it to 3-4 minutes to complete

Basically you

a - Fix the radio
b - Hit the comms and defend
c - Hit the other comms and defend
d - Go to the muster point
e - Kill 1-20 enemies
f - Kill the boss

and

2 - Hunt the enemy one

This is the new one

You can do it solo in about 4-7 minutes... enemy spawns can be unpredictable and some areas are large and unforgiving for this
Every player with you increases the odds of finding and killing enemies quicker... My best full team run was 2-2:30ish, they were a good team, one newbie, I barely carried them (I might have got 40% of the kills so just slightly more than a fair share) when usually I do 80%++ of the killing and work in this one

Basically you

a - Kill the first scattered enemies
b - Kill the boss group
c - disable an intercepter
d - repeat a-c
e - repeat a-c but this time B is a boss monster


Tips for this

1 -
This one isn't difficult you don't even really need to engage enemies just be a warm body at a location up until the last two parts of it where you need to kill things...
Having a good weapon is your friend

2 -
This one isn't difficult either, you should use berry mentats and run from red dot to red dot killing things quickly... stealth will not make you get elder.
When you are decrypting a thing after a boss group don't kill extra enemies just beeline the radio


Either way the melee kill only one is annoying and sucks
The poison enemy cloud on death one is also annoying and sucks, just not as much

Some ops are doable solo if you got powerful weapon, otherwise if you're not confident doing solo, join daily ops team. You'll know if someone in your team start or join ops as there short notice notifying you and then there's tag (daily ops) next to their name.

A complement of what was said earlier, Daily Ops reset at 6 pm GMT, so good chance there plenty of players who join a "Daily Ops Teams" and do it after the reset ... . Better chance with full team ... .

Join or make a DO team. You get a message when anyone on your team enters the op and you can join them. If you join an existing team you will see text by the team members names saying “In Daily Op”. So you can join them.

If you are the first person in the op, wait a few minutes for the rest of your team to join. After joined, give a thumbs up, and the rest of the team will do the same if they are ready to rock.

[Paulo2400]

Thanks for your answers. So best thing to do is joining a DO team and wait until a team member enters a DO. While wiating, can I in the meantime do a quest or event on my own?

[Phantom]

Correct, if you want the DO to start just start it and sit around at the start, others will trickle in

IF you make a daily ops team, they will probably be waiting on you to start it, anyone joining the team will probably want to go right away

IF you join a daily ops team it MIGHT have already concluded and people haven't changed the team or bothered leaving

Generally I

Join a server,

If a daily ops team is going I join it, if they are in I join, if they aren't I start it. If they don't join then :shrug: I hop servers

IF no daily ops team is going, I make one, I then do some shopping / dailys, when a player joins I tend to give the 3+ teammate join up emote to let them know its good just waiting on a third (every things easier with 3 and I only wanna carry so much, unless its one of those farm tastic ones that comes up I'll do those ones solo)

You can do anything you want while waiting for the DO to be started. You just don't want to get too tied up otherwise you will make them wait.

Try this guide. It's a bit outdated, but should still be useful

keep an eye on on screen pop ups, when someone starts a team, join it and get ready to jump in. use an emote to say hi when you koin, shows youre not just joining to join but ready to rock and roll, and get ready grab a lunch box if you ahve one, and ammo up stims and depending on location a gas mask or power armor. when the person who started the team goes into the ops do so as well.
THEN WAIT until people give thumbs up, thats the gernerally accepted :im ready to start the op: signal. this just before starting the op proper is time to pop lunch boxes eat a chem and drink/ eat to full. and enter your pa. when people start running follow.
ops objective as you know are marked on the radar. uplinks are easiest, decryption you gotta spread out and hunt the radar blips then a code carrier and then a transmitter.
till the boss code carrier and the last transmitter.

good luck. dont be THAT player that joins the op location and immediately runs off to start it while others havent even properly joined in or are getting into power armor etc...
when i start a team and then join an op and soemone does that ill just leave and change team focus to roleplay and goto a new server and try again lol. sure we could have finished that op, but thats not the point, there is a bit of etiquette when running an op. like its more important to kill the boss in time then run off to help someone who has been downed if youre on your knees respawn asap and get back in it. you stay in the timer circle in uplink.
sure wander out of it to kill an annoying mob that wont close in but get back in that circle.

thats all i can add about ops even repeating what others have added, all the tips you can get and all that...

If you want to solo daily ops I'd suggest having some sort of (redundant) auto-heal mechanic(s). That can be a vampire weapon with a high rate of fire, or an auto stim perk or piece of gear. Given the damage spikes with their AP mutation, it's crucial to stay on top of your health / healing. Also taking a bunch of food buffs / chems ahead of time can give a nice boost to help the solo player. Good luck!

[RMPyro]

Just start a daily ops team, wait for 1-2 ppl to join. Or join another daily ops team.
If no one joins, join another server. Best time to do it is when dailys ops reward resets.

You can solo them, but its not recommended. You need to have very good gear and good build for it. You can manage with high defense bloodied build, no healing needed.

Dops are meant to do in a team.
Here's what i do: i create a dops team
if i don't get any player after 5 min, i leave the team and make a new dops team

if again nobody joins and i really want to do dops i hop servers

oh and you will be notified someone started the thing
doesn't mean they jumped in
usually people wait for the others
UPLINK usually is easier

just look at the team names it will tell you for instance my IGN is kermit91 so if i was in your team it would show......

Daily OP Teams - Usually the leader hops in an OP, once they feel the team is at an appropriate size, often between 2-4. Maybe sometimes people wait for the bond to be there, rarely.

However one thing can happen: A team that just finished the OP, is staying without changing the team goal to something else like "casual". In this case most of the time they will not start again. However sometimes they /i might start again, just to fill in the weekly challenges conveniently, to practice with "can be killed with a melee attack only" enemies etc. So the second last time i had such a group, I reentered the OP after having it finished, just after a new player hopped in - one time i witnessed a new player in the team starting the OP after some wait and i hopped in, several times i started doing an OP for the challenge from within a casual team, and some of the team members just joined in as well. So you could try to enter a casual/other team (politely build the bond) and then hop in an op to practice and see if people follow, if you don't want to wait for a daily op team to arrive (or start your own one). If you start a team on your own, people might think you know what you're doing, which may or may not be the case - but that needn't be a reason not to do it either...

Doable within... depends on how you know the map, and sometimes luck. E.g. in the arena we had a mutant dog sitting behind walls and after thowing flamer grenades and doing this and that it would phase through the wall, eventually (sometimes grenades do it). Cloaking enemies are harder, especially with a connection with more latency. They never uncloack in time and you never really see them, meaning that VATS won't work either. "Can only be killed with a melee attack" is more diffciult on time, because it's just slower. And finally blood eagles tend to die quick, but they have flame thrower people and a PA person sometimes. The final enemy might throw grenades around, so i tend to equip the "fire proof 2" perk with the OPs. The burning mine is the most widespread area, then perhaps the vault (and now arena) then galleria.

And no wasting time killing random mobs. Unless it's the final boss in "uplink" or the obligatory to kill ones in "decryption". Unfortunately they can push you out of enabling/disabling some transmitter or what not, so if they are nearby melee ones, one might have to take them down, before switching the device.

After joining there is a start room, where the timer is not activating, until someone leaves it. Often people use that for lunchboxes, sometimes to wait for others (sometimes "bots" seem to wait there and hope for others to finish the OP). Usually once the counter has started, it's not wise to wait for the team leader to trigger a device. If you're faster, just do it, even if you might start the device on the opposite side of where the others ran - that needs some practice or luck too then.

And finally practice also with the map. In decryption you more often have to go through different parts of the map, and find a fast way somewhere. Not sure i finished one below 8 minutes solo so far, didn't do many times, though.

i really would like a certain rating system next to people's names
like this person is so much involved in nuking, so much in farming, so much dops etc
just to give a certain idea what the player is in to
