personal don't really recommand the people who lower than 50 level to the nightmare mode, simply just to weak to defeat the enemy on there, plus most player didn't fill enough the BAM(Body armor expert) skill on lower level.


personal experesive if you higher than 50 level the BAM skill batter higher than 15, if you higher than 70 level batter higher than 20, full the 25 before 100 level ASAP, not enough armor meaning instant one hit kill in nightmare.


there only one thing matter in nightmare mode, if you too low on DPS then nightmare horde would tear you apart easy.

there below gear I personal recommand, Aoe weapon with jupiter and shedder, sustian damage weapon with hotspot and BOM rifle, like the below weapon I get from the 8 lvl box really useful in nightmare.


stick together, dead man won't have DPS, so the best way to suvive is stay with teammate.


I knew a lot of guide or player suggest the newbie choice the adaptive aug which lower the enemy resistance, at frist I build it's that way since sound sweet in plan, but in reality to maximum out a weapon DPS, you need the Deadly aug and OC(overclocked) aug, which just take out two slot of augs.

if you gonna deep in, the last and the third aug most weapon would go to capacity if lower magazine, piercing if weapon to efficiency wipe out horde, or skeletonized or biosynthesis, so with that many of option, a small adaptive really top choice in aug selection, however if player wanna focus on nightmare mode only, than adaptive aug weapon maybe your choice.



some time while the BOSS have tricky buff such as extra fast, than you would gonna need cyro turret to slow it's horse down.
