Black Tusk keeps recapturing everything!!!

[kage74]

I just finished clearing all the control points and other activities in Downtown East and as soon as I moved to a new area the control points have been recaptured and all the activities I completed are red again. What's the deal with that?!


**Also, is it possible to turn off the World Tier till I get some better gear? I got good gear, or it was good enough to beat the story and reach LV30, but as soon as the World Tier was activated I got my a** handed to me by the first enemy that crossed my path. 🤨

You can turn on so they dont recapture on map.
When you are 30 you should have good enough gear for world tier 1.
just get some better.

Control points are at risk of recapture partly because they're linked to the high-end armour and weapon/ skill attachment blueprint acquisition that's introduced when control points have alert levels (alert level 3 or higher granting one of said blueprints).

If you want to keep all control points under your control, then attempt to take all of them as quickly as possible, because enemy forces come from enemy control points (reduce the number of enemy control points and you reduce the amount of pushbacks)

If you're intent on getting all of the blueprints but want to have friendly areas (supply drops, more spawn points and resupply points), then take and defend all of the control points except for an area which you can easily retake at alert level 3 or higher.

Defending control points is much easier than taking them because the player only has to deal with one wave of like six or seven enemies and offensive skills (striker drone and seeker mine for example) can wipe them all out in seconds.

It's not possible to completely get rid of pushbacks so far as I know, because even if the player captures all control points, an enemy force can still come from the three strongholds. (Black Tusk don't attack control points so far as I know)

No you can set the map so they dont take over and all will be green

You can't tell the enemies not to attack.

[JB94]

I did some testing and it turns out that once the player captures all control points, enemies will come from the three strongholds every ten minutes following their previous defeat.

Kind of annoying really; there should be a point where they give up (like after 50 or 100 consecutive failed attempts or something) because having to deal with them every ten minutes gets in the way of doing anything else really.

The only way to stop control points from being retaken after World Tier 1 or higher is capture them and keep all resources topped off. If resources fall too low then when you exit the game and login again there's a good chance it will be lost.

Also, you aren't supposed to have an 'all green' board at WT1+ because taking over control points that are level 3+ award blueprints and you'll need every one you can get your hands on for up to WT5 and level 40 content.

Speaking of which, my level 4 CP are not giving me anymore blueprints and I still need to get more. Why?

While I can't speak to CPs specifically, the game does have some 'grindability limiting' in missions and the like where doing them too frequently stops some of the loot from respawning and seems to drop the level of loot you get from bosses and such. It's asinine, but that may be what is causing you to no longer get blueprints. Alternatively, the blueprints may be on a rotating pool and you can only get specific ones as part of specific pool on any given day.

Ah I see... that may be it. I have read in-game when i was trying to help with the new bounty that my "rewards were reduced" because I had already completed. I had lots of fun capturing level 4 CPs and getting those blueprints as rewards, but it stopped for a while now.

If it has stopped for a while, it sounds like you may have obtained all the blueprints you can from CPs. Did you double check the crafting station for the bps you still need to see how they are rewarded?

Yeah. Since a while they are as like that for me:

No blueprints

And I still don't have a lot of them:

If you go to the individual bps that you are still missing in the crafting station, do some say they are rewarded from CPs? You could just be missing bps from exotics, raids, seasonal rewards, etc.

As other have mentioned, not all blueprints are from CPs. You need to go to the crafting station and check each blueprint to see where they can be found.

Also, at the crafting station, you can filter out the blueprints that you already have so that it only shows the ones you don't.
