Finished all campaign and reached lv 140 power level, what to do solo now?

[きょすけ]

Main is Iron Man. As per tittle, I finished all the main campaign and trying to do the "post game" so to speak, I did missions until I reached power level 140 for gear, I'm now unting for good 140 minor artifacts to booster my level to what I believe should be 150?

I would like to know what to do in order to progress to GEAR POWER LEVEL 150+, so far I can only find 140 gear, I've did extensive research about this, but there are a bunch of either outdated info or misinformation. Despite not using much youtube, it doesn't helps, as most videos about power level 150+ solo is about getting superior minor artifact from a mission in particular, which seems to scale up to 175.

So, is there a way to find the main pieces of gear 150+ by playing solo outside of forced multiplayer raids?

PS: some help regarding builds would be appreciated as well, despite being 140 and trying to have high stats and perks, every enemy I face now seem to be a HP sponge and hits like a truck, either my damage/defense is too low, or I'm missing something here, even worse when I encounter enemies with a blue health bar.

Only SOLO way to progress past that is to do the timed mission chains tied to Fortnightly Events, i.e. Rooskaya Protocols, Red Room Takeover, Corrupted Vibranium, etc.
Some of these events require multiplayer i.e. Tachyon Rifts, so avoid those.

These events have 1 mission tied to each hero that rewards them 2 out of 4 slots gear pieces. They also have one "group" mission that requires you to complete X of these individual missions and they give the remaining 2/4 gear to ALL your characters (except Winter Soldier because they overlooked him)

These rewards only add +2 PL to each gear piece each time so it's a long grind. However you can speed it up by changing your Windows date to reset those objectives.

I suggest you google more about these Events because my info may be off since I stopped playing a while ago.

Hey there, thanks for replying!

So far what you replied to me is basically what I was able to piece together between old infos from here and reddit posts, hovewer, I'm very confused about how events work and how the events are rewarded:

Are we talking about end mission rewards, finishing challenge rewards? So that means that despite doing these mission, I'd be still finding PL 140 gear from chests and boxes in those events?

Can I still get PL gear 150+ with winter soldier if playing as him?

Yeah I've read about the ridiculous grind and the time involved behind it, and I'm not even sure if I will sty that long, even then I'd like to give purpose to gear hunting.

With that said, is there a difference between gear lv 140 and 150+ stat wise? I.e. if I have a 140 piece of gear and a 160 one, I believe that base stats (valor, resilience etc) would be higher than the former, but if I upgrade the PL 140 gear using the 160 one, will the raw stats upgrade as well? I'm asking this to understand if there is a purpose on farming 140 gear or not, because otherwise trying to get rewarded with two random piece of gears after finishing an event, and trying to hunt for both stats and perk.... well that would be a bit too much.

Yeah you only receive the 140+ gear at the end of the event Challenges. That's the term I was forgetting, those "Do X mission types, Perform X with Y hero Z times, loot X items, etc." objectives. The loot and rewards from related warzones you do will still be capped at 140PL. I think the exception was Corrupted Vibranium warzones giving 140+ minor artifacts at the end but couldn't be bothered to try it.

Yes but only the ones that are obtained individually. They forgot to add him into "all hero" reward pools.

Stats will increase like going from 1 to 140 gear but I'm not sure if matters since the game scales to your average PL.

I see, thanks. I will see how far I will enjoy the game and try to see if I can grind here and there.

Honestly for solo players I think we're done with the game. Once you beat all the campaigns, get PL140, the only thing left is raids... but you can never find enough players for raids.

I'm more pissed about the fact that the highest and unique gear is locked behind those raids, which cannot be completed alone, I'm a solo player anyway so they are a no for me even if the playerbase existed.

Kind of a shame since the gaemplay is nice and playing as iron man is awesome.

You'll have to join the Steam or Discord groups for the game, there are some of these out there. Here are two of them:
