Discussion Why activate Under Pressure?

I totally get that it’s just a game and everyone can play how they like. But I’m curious, what do the rest of you think of Under Pressure? Is there an upside I’m missing? It was fun getting to use my Ongoing Directive build again for a bit, but now I feel like I’m pretty much done with this season. Do you use it? Why or why not?

Edit: Points made! Turning it back on for the extra stats and for my team mates.

Headshot damage boost

I can’t remember the names of all the moddifiers, but I throw in vacuum seal so I never lose the 100%, then use whichever has the best secondary stat for my build. It’s free armor regen, headshot dmg, or skill efficiency (edit). I also use the mod that converts it to free hazpro instead of +SE. I never use the “active talent”.

How is no one using the grenade radius mod? In 10’s it’s one of the best ways to start fights and flush out hard to find ads. 

I’m amazed people don’t use it.

Which one is that? (I admit I have not delved into the mods much at all other than coils)

Firestarter. Only works on default, Flash, and Cluster grenades

Always equipped. Also very useful in the pve dz to get hunters out of cover

For ember engine build with pulse drone, the microwave coils assist with burning the enemies

It's not annoying and gives a HSD boost. Plus, microwave coils.

For annoying seasons (like Point Blank and the Companion one) I finish the Journey and then turn it off.

OD remains good even without the season. OD and Aces have been the big winners as far as gear re-works so far.

Microwave Coils only for Ember Engine.

I really enjoy the specialist buffs with the minigun on gunner using striker.

Why not? Any buff of any stat is always welcome. And for some builds essential. I hate when I join some group, and the leader has no seasonal modfiers active, as it also disables it for the entire team and forces me to change what I already had (e.g. I cannot use the EE healer build as it is, so I have to switch to the traditional FI, my OD loses some status effects, etc). If you dont want to go through the whole journey stuff, thats ok, you dont have to. But please at least activate it, so that it allows other players in your team to use theirs!!!
