Also make sure you are using the Technician specialization bump that skill tier from 5 to 6
Sounds like it would do a great job ticking off your teamates with constant shaking while simultaneously doing sub par damage 
Hopfully you add cap to that to make up some of the loss 💯
I mean when my skills are killing enemies before I even fire a shot can that really be called sub par dmg?
Its essentially a crowd control monster…..teammates can just sit back and enjoy the fireworks
Not on heroic they're not
Meh dont play on heroic

Restricting yourself to lower difficulties aint it you gotta evolve your builds to move up
Not when I just wanna have fun with the game with my friends and help them grind
Besides I keep better loadouts for higher difficulties like my tank and healer builds
Most of the time I make builds to mess around with
Besides a build is only as good as the person and their playstyle that suit it
Letting you know tanks aren't as good as you might think they are
In normal content CC is generally preferred over healer as well
This may be true but I like to think outside the normal box 😝 I make builds that others usually write off and sometimes I will admit they are right but thats why we tinker and tweek our builds right? To make them better
But again a person’s playstyle can also improve a build’s effectiveness. Take for example my Combustor Crowd Control build that I have here may not seem impressive to some cause of how they use it. If its used in the right way it can prove to be a nightmare for enemies because you can effectively trap them between flames or explosive proximity traps…either one gives them a status effect and Bluescreen adds additional status effects when someone dies that has been marked
As long as you have others marked too that is
I mean... The build your describing is just straight up bad, there's not really a way around that. You can run whatever you want, but when you start giving out bad advice, you can expect people to push back on the claims your making
I'm using this build in PVE on heroic with 3 dirrectives https://mxswat.github.io/mx-division-builds/#/EwDgtMYAwWCM1E2U1yBcAWAbKh+4BmNRSFc9OSSYyBTTE8p9cYmMpri4ATjHaxmw7uj4DS3KRmDZcjOFXgh+cXjDX5enFMChjCMRtgS5gNGNn7M9lEPIkjmcdPtULcIgKzpC-AOz+YCBewQjMXkA
in countdown I'm using it with 2 red cores (1.5 mil armor)
I also have SMG version with Ouroboros and Sokolov chest (AR is Shield Splinterer and I hate it, too unstable for me compared to Police M4 type of guns), but I'm using it in summit only because closed range shooting is not for me in the open world
is there something I can improve? thanks
Ditch dark winter and use an acs
I was usuing Rock n Roll in all red incursion build with Coyote's Mask, all I remember is I hate to proc striker, that's why I'm not using it's chect or backpack anymore
so shotgun would be better than dark winter?
if you're not using either chest or backpack for striker in incursion then you can swap to healer lol. striker and chest are key to its damage
the acs shotguns including rock and roll are how you stack striker the easiest
as I remember in incursion I was using Coyote's Mask, Ceska holster and others is striker, all crits + 12*3 protection from elites
but it's too much in open world PVE
that's fine, but you should be using backpack at the least
like if you run all red striker there's no reason to not run backpack
I'm using Memento because of 6 blue cores, that way I can pick up a lot of bonus armor
if I switch to striker then that 6 blue cores are nothing
who are you killing at lovebirds
also earlier you said all red
yeah no i'm talking about this
"all red incursion build"
well I've got ouroboros there and I'm not going to get back to that hell with random people, so for now I'm interested in improving something for PVE
but to your original question, yes acs is still better than dark winter for stacking AND damage
got it, thanks
the only problem is just like dark winter, acs chews through ammo real quick
i just wanted to comment on all red striker builds, pretty much all of them run the backpack
the backpack doesn't incur any penalty
yeah and Rock n' Roll bug with 20 rounds is not helping either
never tried that talent, thanks
Either fast hands acs or lefty helps
they just buffed it this update, now each pellet that crits will stack it, previously pellets from the same shot only count together as 1 stack
about lefty
Dealing damage with a grenade applies a mark on target
I don't like to use grenades, so acs-12 with fast hands for me
interesting
it's just preference
Like it or not it's a massive dps increase, very helpful on incursion
General use fast hands probs more practical
yeah I know, but I just don't want to concentrate on a fight in PVE as deep as it was in incursion
incursion is still weird to me, if you don't have friends then you should care of a lot of stuff
I was lucky enough to get ouroboros in the 3rd or 4th incursion chest, and I'm not planning to get back
would be nice to get Eagle Bearer too but it's not gonna happen, I can't find people for raids and I don't think I have any raid build and don't know what to use best
anyway, I'm gonna switch dark winter to acs-12 with fast hands, thanks again
I run randoms through it all the time
my runs were on launch and people wasn't aware what to do
Ah they'll just have you sitting at doors anyway it's fine if you don't know what you're doing
@shy willow tried gate start yesterday
quality is ass but idc. What should I modify? Idek what I was trying to do here 
…..
No way you’re not using 4 piece hunter fury…
As I said idek what I was trying to do
Then fix it!
Tell me how to, please!
So you see your mask just change that to a hf mask
I'm glad I kept it god rolled
And preferably a ceska chest instead of zero f's
Yeah
I'll just put the one I use for strikers
You have memento so you don’t really need unbreakable
Talent imo put intimidate. You'll like how it works with memento
Eww
can I, instead of ceska, use grupo and just modify it with Intimidate?
Yes but your crits won't as good as ceska
That's why i was recommending ceska since it is the optimal choice
alr, I'll just get to farming
Meh dont really much care what other people think anyways 🤷♀️
Their loss not mine
Wasnt trying to give out pro advice because I dont take the game that seriously
Just thought it was a fun build I made thats all
I called it subpar damage because of rigger use. Same could be said for the chest not being glass but I understand you're trying to capitalize on the explosive damage from explosive delivery.
You could make it stronger by using highend pieces. Highend backpack would allow you to add another source of total skill damage.
Personally I would use what you have with a mortar build, mortar has a really low cooldown of 10 seconds and you wouldn't need rigger to cancel cooldowns.
For cc itself you could be using a foam/fire eclipse build where the status keeps spreading as you or team keep killing.
I would also scorpio over blue screen for solid status effect and 7th shot that makes npc take 20% amp damage from any source.
Capacitor also would fit because of the 60% skill damage and the 12% damage to armor that would further increase your explosive skills damage
I definitely would agree with this, I have used it with the mortar turret setup before and actually preferred it over the flame turret so I probably should have just started with that. I do agree with Scorpio as being a good choice but definitely think that Capacitor would be better because of the skill dmg bonus based on skill tier level and with it being at tier 6 you would get the full benefits
Tbh Rigger was kinda optional to begin with because there are high end gear pieces better suited to go with Combustor and Waveform to increase dmg output as well as help with skill cooldown and dmg
I use this for mortar. I found btsu glove to be really useful.
Mortar is 10 second cooldown, but an overcharge instantly kills cooldown.
Stinger hive also has a super low cooldown which can be thrown out again after partial charge, but oc also refreshes hive for stupid fast cooldown.
Combining this build with your chest would give a lot of explosives damage. Can also shock and awe the bag since combined arms can leave you exposed if not careful.
Team also gets the oc so you can reset their revive hives cooldown or boost their skills
Hmmm thats a good combo idea for sure
Definitely worth a try when things get fixed on the game after this last update
Drop badger tuff, run ceska, run hf mask
can someone help me make a build via screensharing on ps
I dont really have much stuff tho
Just drop what you've got here and we'll take a look
hoe can I show my whole Inventory sprry im kinda new again
Don't have to show your inventory just drop your current build in here
Or just say what kind of build you wanna go for
You're on the right track
Work on getting a ceska chest with obliterate
And make sure everything is rolled to crit chance and damage
And replace the gloves with a piece of grupo or rearrange your gear to fit in coyote's or foxes prayer
how do I farm that?
Then work on getting a good ACS12 and a good FAMAS or Saint elmo
Countdown ceska target loot
Farm everything you need there
alright I will thank you
how do I roll my weapons for attributes?
and armour aswell
Extract them from another gear piece and put them onto your desired piece at the tinkering station
Ideally your gear drops with the correct attributes though as you can only recalibrate one slot per item
oh oke i see quite complicated
Can I switch contractor's tor fox's? I'm trying to assemble the mortar turret from the spreadsheet
I've got a fox's with skill damage
The reason contractors are used is because DTA applies to the mortar’s damage, DTOOC doesn’t. So you can’t replace it with Fox’s.
I guess I'll have to go for the budget setup then 🥲
But does dttoc aplies to the chem launcher?
IIRC dtooc applies to oxi and the demolisher firefly, no other skills
It's a bit dated cause it doesn't have newer skills but you get the idea.
Anyone have a more complete list for this?
there's the list in the spreadsheet, but what is this one missing?
its missing emp sticky and jammer pulse (vs bots) both both dont get dtooc any who. also missing demo and bomber fly
Spinny boi turret too right? For completionist sake ya know.
the one on the spreadsheet is more complete FYI
^^ only missing emp sticky and jammer pulse (vs bots)
Emp sticky with DTA🧠
Take those warhounds down at the same speed
Yoiked for my reference channel. Where even is this in the spreadsheet?
yeah @vestal ibex, aren't you supposed to know everything by now???
Breh I don't know a thing. See the people who claim to know everything are the ones you can't trust.
then who will i ever come to talk to for knawledge?
So Golan or contractors for ep fire?
Specifically against purples, named and elites..
golan cause gets you 2nd stat as well
Electrique is a much easier one to farm and has the same bonus.
I have found all the Golan pieces except chest and backpack funny enough
I got a Golan chest with tag team
Well for fire EP best in slot is the chest. The increase to distance and higher duration is really worth it.
Can anyone give me an around solid striker st elmos build I follow a few guys videos in YouTube and in still nowhere near their stats? Although I need to lose a piece of strikers somewhere Cos I have 5 on with coyotes mask. What piece should I drop? Chest ?
Check out the pinned Google doc, there's a strikers guide in there along with a bunch of others.
Generally it would be 1p ceska, coyotes, and 4p strikers with the backpack. Whether or not you use the chest is down to what your doing and preference
Any tips how to make it more better? I have full crit hit chance and almost 170 hit damage.
the obvious issue would be the lack of a decent backpack talent like vigilance - extra brand bonuses from ninjabag are just not as good in most situations
if you check the pinned spreadsheet there is a high-end DPS build in there which is the best you're likely to get without going in a different direction (like Striker)
could swap a providence piece out for a Fenris one, Capacitor would also likely be better for this build.
The biggest choice you could do is swap ninjabike out.
I like the ninja for giving me extra skill tier. I also like to try out different weapons, than exotics.
I was also thinking about putting chestpiece with a spark talent
memento does the same thing but better
If you're trying to go for a hybrid then as dien mentioned go memento
You could swap out reds for skill tiers but that would require you to use capacitor
Obliterate would be best, Spotter isn't working well here because you can't proc it on your primary.
you're also using the worst rifle in the game.
I actually like UIC, which yeah is the worst i am just trying different things. Now i am looking for rifle sync up talent around the map.
Spark would work perfectly with the sync up right?
Yeah
with memento i will loose one skill tier and some damage as well. also i use memento for lot of things and ninja backpack for nothing, i am just not enjoying memento anymore
you can try it out yeah. it's just we all have done so and just collectively came to the conclusion it's just not worth it compared to other backpacks
The reason memento would be a million times better than ninja in this case is 3 fold.
- 30% skill efficiency is 30% in every skill bucket. (% Skill damage,status effects,skill haste,skill repair, skill duration, skill health.)
-skill health can basically be considered shield health as that will get stronger with trophy collection.
-memento will benefit you a minimum of 45% raw weapon damage from long buff+red core.
If you use cap this would be 52.5% wd from a single item.
I mirror what others have said about using capacitor since it is a hybrid. But I would use glass over oblit/spotter.
I have made a similar hybrid but with more yellow cores and a different focus. Capacitor + harmony rifle are ideal for that type of setup.
#td2-build-advice message link to original build post
The residential market is crazy these days, can't even afford The House anymore. Time to settle for The Apartment lol
Tough times in today's economy 
Are there viable shield builds for endgame content?
Terrible gun
half sheild you can pretty much throw on any gun DPS build and itll be good
full shield is good for regulus builds
Tech tanks
some tanks too yea
I think theres some built around higher mobility mortar builds but that may be a PVP thing
I was more looking for full shield builds, but I appreciate the answer
You don’t really need a tank except for iron horse. You can run 4 pc foundry and something like point man and protector on heroic, but it’s not really optimal. Dps is meta because targets aggro to what’s doing the most damage to them, so tanks can’t hold aggro, and they can’t do damage.
Fair enough
Should I keep it?
Personally I don't find it all that great
Anything with health on it for me = there's better options lol
Nah but you should donate to proficiency
You can say you like it but that doesn't make it less terrible
The most placebo gun i ever witnessed imo
You lose damage then you gain it back.
You gain rpm then you lose it.
Other than faster stacking initially it literally makes little to no difference in damage
Worthless isn't the word
Suboptimal
You can use it you could just be using something better
I’d say initial stacking is negligible since it’s gonna stack just as fast as a conventional weapon at the end of the mag.
Then change your build and playstyle not your weaponry
So you recognize your choices are subpar
Weapons wise
if you're comparing weapons with different use cases maybe
If you stack up the apartment to a fast hands or strained mpx it's just worse at the same job
Wh-
Fact of the matter is, while you could use your hands to hammer in nails or open a multitude of padlocks - especially if you have calloused hands - you're better of using the intended tool for it (a hammer / the key).
The weapon itself is subpar to other choices from the same categories.
I have a question about regen DZ build
what is better as 3 pieces: Gila Guard or Golan Gear?
2% armor regen is still better than 1.5% even with +5% total armor, so W for Gila Guard
+60% Health is usually useless, +10% Status Effects is nice but I don't use any skills with status effects
yesterday I was farming DZ for Emperor's Guard and I was told that Golan is better for regen builds
no idea if it means I should use 2 Golan for 1.5% regen and something else
the real question is health: does it mean a lot in DZ or I should trade it to Golan for+5% more armor but less armor regen?
so 2 golan + something else?
I checked all brand sets and there's nothing for armor regen (I already use Belstone Armory and Emperor's Guard)
since Golan has +10% total armor, I can upgrade each part to 25 expertise and get a lot of armor compared to 5% total armor, but I'll miss the +60% health and 0.5% armor regen
I think the regen part is fine, but still not sure about the loss of +60% health
expertising your gear that high is not worth it.
I know, it only affects your base armor, but 25 lvl is almost one blue core
and more armor is better for regen builds only
if you have the resources whatever, but 99% of the time it's not worth the investment.
I get 5-7 exotics every day in open world for 1.5-2 hours on heroic with 3 directives, so I don't think it's a problem
anyway, I don't like regen builds so it's for DZ only, and I think I can afford 25 expertise there
but before I start spending a lot of resources I would like to get the best solo DZ regen build
for now I'm using Belstone Armory, Emperor's Guard, Memento and 3 Gila Guard
with 3 Golan I can get more armor and this idea looks interesting to me
I just not sure if 60% health is a big deal in DZ or 10% total armor with 25 expertise would be better
or even 2 Golan + something else
@rich lotus Wouldn't the total armor benefit him the most? Health has no real benefit as there's no HP regen, no specific stat to protect him once armor is gone.
And. Isn't it 25 expertise across the board for what is about an armor core?
base armor is 131+158+80+80+112+99=660k
25% is 165k, and one blue core is 170k
26% is 171600 and it's already more than one blue core, so in theory if we can get new gear then 26 expertise will give you one free blue core
But at what cost 
I just generally don't find health worth investing at all
Any armor type > health, any day
You get now Insane health bonus
Worth investiment tbh specially for regen builds
so I should switch from 3 Gila Guard to Golan
1 extra blue core is a LOT specially in pvp
The only "Difference" from golan to gila for me is the total armor + 0,5% less regen
But at the same time you can have an extra piece that would be game changing ig
0.5% less regen is fine, but I wasn't sure about that 60% health buff, it sounds big
Nah health is completely useless
And if they're using an AR your health will vanish in a blink
It's one of those stats that are there just to f your RNG up imo lol
what I can add to 2 Golan pieces? my main weapon is ouroboros
just for DZ
right now Belstone Armory, Emperor's Guard, Memento and 3 Gila Guard
everything up to 60 chc and over 100% chd
and with 5k regen on each gear except memento
guns: Ouroboros, Shield Splinterer
skills: decoy + defender drone
What backpack and chest talent?
Haven't seen a regen ouro in a while imma be honest it's mostly regen headshot lol
forgot about it, backpack is Memento, Belstone Armory with unbreakable
I'm completely fine with guns damage, ouro just works everywhere (20 expertise for now)
I'd personally run that build but slightly differently but they way it is it works
I would prob do something like Catharsis + Emperor's + Belstone + 2x Golan with something like matador/picaro's or you can even get 3x gila with AD rush
I have a gila backpack with vigilance that works good as well for when you're lazering from a far but it becoems futile when at close range
Memento could be a pain to use on that build but I'm not sure sure
I like Memento because of 60% bonus armor, and at 30 stacks it's really good
and it's easy to get 30 kills with ouro
I was farming DZ yesterday, got 3 Emperor’s Guard, killed about 7 or 8 rogues and died twice
and one guy told me to use Golan instead of Gila Guard so I ended up being here
I farmed for 1 for like 3h or so and didn't get any lmao
kneepads were targeted loot yesterday
Well the benefit of golan is you get the regen still but you lose a tiny portion of it along the total armor from gila at the cost of 1 additional slot
Ikik farmed a little yesterday too
so.. I think I'll just switch to 3 Golan, I really like that 10% total armor and I don't know what to use in a free slot because guns damage is already fine
thanks
That works too, my say on this specially when it comes to regen build is try until you think it works for you
Yea
Gonna be tickling people
I'd drop the regen minors tho
Descent
and I need exactly that with double regen
I started to play descent one week ago, it was a pain but now it's fine with permanent bonuses in NSA store
Wait what
Permament bonuses?
yes, it's in NSA store, it works for future runs
it's really bad mode if you do not have anything from that store
Oh I thought it worked like shd watch that gives your character bonuses
oh, it's for descent only
I miss chd here, and they should expand this store because this mode is not fun at all
I've been getting pretty bored from the game overall I might give descent another go
yes, but only in descent mode
Almost 70% of those are useless imo
i finally got the st elmos!
gz
they should expand this store, there should be more perm bonuses
Save your nsa tech for reconstructed caches
Extra talent choice is a must buy
Currency gain is too expensive, but can help you to reroll talents a few times more
overall, this mode is not fun at all compared to summit because you are weak and your gear is always bad thanks to rng
it would be better to get a lot more perma perks in the store, even at a higher price
any good builds ? whit ninjabike backpack i used the ridgewaypride whit 4 hunterfury whit one badger tuff . and picaro holser and ninja bike and 3 pices of hunter fury works really good what shold i use as my second one pice ? i use scorpion exotc shotgun and an mp7 whit strain or saidist whit those 2 crit caped for smg i think thye are solid dps builds whit shield and revhive . did some experiments whit bleed hive dont know the name but it was better whit just revive hive.
any good builds?
not using ninjabike
not using ridgeway
for PvE that is. those are very niche
well i play pve so its not hard to prock the bleed on ridgeway and ninja bike feels like an win as you get one free blue and skill tire. whit the picolo same ther so im not losing any red and i get an tire 4 shield ? as pestilens build whit Negotiator's Dilemma fells to broken atm. whit reviver hive and healing from drone and armor regen from gunner
nnb is bad because memento exist
nah it'd still be bad without memento. but it's also worse because Memento exists.
nope, NNB is bad because backpack talents exist and also memento.
ninjaback is mostly bad because 2 piece gear set boni suck pretty badly compared to backpack talents
also true ^^
eh it just run hf with memento ceska obliterate and you can easily clear solo heroic
Its super easy to build
I'm using this in PVE on heroic (don't look at the second gun lol), everything works fine but it could be because of expertise idk
what back pack talants will out perform 15% weapon dmg on NBP im running legendary solo btw
all of them
aint no way 💀
composure, and everything above that
^^ which is everything lol
if you get hit when your using composure you lose the dmg and what will buff the shield?
no that's vigilance, which is way better
sorry you need to be in cower
take companion, or unstoppable force
take two blue cores and still do more damage with vigilance
if you use striker (which is really the best solo legendary set rn), then striker backpack
30% vs 25? that is constant
vigilance is total weapon damage
if you still want those 2 skill tiers that Ninja bag gives you can freely run 1 blue and 1 yellow core on your other gear pieces and use a normal backpack talent and you will still be stronger then running ninja bag.
I dont think he understand the difference between damage multiplier
like wd and twd etc
not an amp
but basically vigilance very stronk
twd = multiplier
yeah thats what I mean
can't be replaced most of the time
the only multiplicativ dmg i know of are crit and crit hit dmg whit headshot dmg
nope
headshot and crit dmg are actually the same multiplier
well that's a little over simplified, but they are additive to each other. They still are different multipliers though.
fair enough
so my ridge way whit perfekt wicked will do more dmg then as its multiplicativ
yes
perfect wicked isn't really worth running tbh
normal wicked on a Grupo/ceska BP would work a lil better
TLDR; everything is multiplicative damage and additive to its self, except amps are never additive and HSD is additive with CHD.
tl;dr of the tl;dr when the math nerds start talking, just respond with things like "ooh i see" and "neat!"
not exactly. they are are same multiplier because they are additive with each other.
ie a crit on a headshot is NOT chd x HSD its (CHD + HSD)
"multiplicative damage" is kind of a misnomer. i suggest if you don't understand the formula right now, don't look at something as "multiplicative" and thinking it's good. usually it's not the case.
just listen to us when we say something is good
or check the pinned sheet for known good setups
the pin has a quick and easy dps calc too, that makes it easy, if you like.
still its faster to run and smother whit NBP and picaro and 3 hunter fury as this is no ramp and i have the survivability i need so faster times so far for legendary solo
i guesssssss but a headshot that's not a crit obviously won't take into account crit. maybe i'm making it more complicated tha it needs to be tho
ah i see what you mean. but not sure what to call that part (still not separate multiplier because they are both additive when it happens)
wdym no ramp up you need kills for hf
even faster using a normal high-end backpack with wicked while running 2 blue cores on gear to save the ninja bag cores.
have no ramp, same shield tier, and higher dps.
just if i take dmg i dont have to wait for the dmg agen
ie ceska wicked says hi
if you use a shield, damage to shield doesn't disable vigilance. but yeah wicked exists
i have 4 cores for shield and 2 for my reviver hive
Memento gives the same cores as nbb
^^
and also buffs skills aswell
Reviver doesn't matter solo?
but you will not get all 3 cores from picc
as in cores for reviver doesn't matter solo, yeah
you don't need them
using high end backpack and rerolling cores to gain 1 blue and 1 yellow = same cores for shield and skills as Ninja bag BUT higher dps because gain backpack talent.
memento buffs are stronger than brand buffs
But you get bonus armor, skill efficiency and weapon damage from memento
the 2p and 3p brand buffs are mostly trash
kinda hard to get all the drops in heroic all the time some times you lose stacks
You dont need get all of the drops
heroic isn't that hard for you to reposition. plus you only need to get 1 per 5 minutes
not hard on heroic (harder for leg yea)
but even then see here ^^
memento you only need 1 trophy every 5 mins to maintain long buff
Just use grey gear to do legendary, no need to think about your build at that point.
Reference for joke...
well im not at that skill levl yet and i dont have any gray gear sins i started playing when the game came out
🗿
BASE * (AWD+SWD) * TWD * (CHD+HSD) * DTA or DTH * DTTOOC * Other Multipliers (AMPS)
To simplify it, you could say:
WD from brands goes to the first part of the calculation and doesn't affect the total nearly as much. (forgot to calc it all out)
20.000 * 2.3 * 1.25 * (2.7 + 1.55) * 1.1 * 1.1 * AMPS (something ish) = 295.693,75
I'm mid CS2 game rn, so can be corrected
too much math
me monkey brain, me test 2 thing, 1 thing give less 1 thing give more, use thing 2
its kinda hard to run full red builds solo on legendary. and the tip i did get her was 2 blue cores. sadist is multiplicative as well. and that is upp almost every target on an ridgeway build. i prefer smg any day over an arm build as i get better ttk
it's hard, but you can. you make up the lack of survivability with skill and knowledge
AR is best for full red solo leg because you can't stay close, so SMGs fall off in viability
Me
Unless sniper build 
Even then you could just use striker + elmos and do good
sorry i prefer to get them done fast so sniper is not even some thing i do sorry. and they tend to take to mutch time. not for me. i fi have to do longrange combat i use pestilens whit negotiors dilemma
if you want to do them fast you go striker elmo lol
you can clear DUA sub 20 with striker elmo
Fast you say huh
That's the whole reason why I run sniper build
and sniper with determined headhunter is one of the fastest ways to clear
Makes legendary a joke
btw i play solo
Oh solo ok yeah then striker elmo is your way to go
DUA is perfekt for smg scorpion combo what i know
striker with elmo or any good AR can beat any legendary easily
the others have their niches
I don't think you can negotiate with enemy NPC's in this game, sorry.
Wdym I negotiated with Captain Lewis
I don't think it counts when he was so terminally stupid that he ran away from the only help he had.
it can be used, but not as strong as before unless you want to still use ND focus
but without focus, it doesn't have anything competitive unlike striker with striker chest
He never did specify what made him jump ship 
I guess for me it’s just to mark 2 targets and burn chunga / warhound
That’s the only benefit I’d say
Repeated blows to the head and a ton of hard drugs.
Turns out True Sons were just trying to put him into rehab.
yeah i mean it's still good if we just consider striker obliterate, and survivability wise it feels a lot better than striker
Ignoring the guns and skills is this how you run your striker build ?
Or do you run something else in place of coyotes
no, i always run coyote
Toasty run grupo on tidal
Some situations are different but 99% of the time what you have is fine
I think toasty never runs coyotes actually
different strokes for different folks
DCH is always an option too over coyotes. lower average dps but gain pocket nuke, well worth the trade since strikers already has high average dps
Back again with the dch orbit combo
Tidal has so much long range fighting so you aren't getting mid or close buff
I pretty much got decimated in my last run heroic tidal against wyvern
yeah but i do play close range on tidal in some areas and i don't want to gimp my crit just for those. in general i do agree though
That was his logic for not using coyotes, you can always just swap
Whats a better gun in genral
Scorpion
Or st elmo?
Scorpio
@half cosmos It depends on what you want to use it for, and in what build.
nothing in div2 exists in a vacuum.
I mainly have a pure damage focused striker or meme skill tier OD and ND
And their pure damage builds
The od one stays with Scorpio no brainer
Well for example; on Striker, Scorpio won't be helpful.
Insane as in a crazy person picks it, sure.
Ig Im crazy then.
That yea i have a dw and a strained guns but was thinking of swaping one for elmo
Uh well basically the idea of Strikers is to use a gun to build up the stacks, and your other gun to deal the damage when they are.
The most common choice for strikers is an acs-12 and a good high-end AR w/strained or other good talent.
(you can also use an Ouroboros instead and it fills both roles, but it's meant to be played at a somewhat closer distance and is tough to get compared to high-end stuff)
Oh so ar to stack up then marksmen to damage?
Uh no, the shotgun (acs-12) to stack (since the pellets count) and the AR to kill.
Oh right my bad
all good, this game uses way too many terms.
like how it uses cqb instead of cqc for close play.
So a dw and strained build is no go?
On striker
Sorry if i sound stupid still getting a bit of hang finally abouts to touch 200 lev
Nah you're all good, everyone started out where you are now.
The DW (vector) there could be used to build stacks, but it's going to be weaker than using a shotgun like the acs or similar.
You could get away with it, but you're not going to be seeing the same kinda crazy build that you might see people talk about.
I dont like shotguns exept scorpio honestly
Elmo if ur doing average striker dps stuff
Scorpio you can throw on any random build and it will still be ok
Like dont like the feel of shotguns (exept Scorpio)
Rn have it on a meme OD build with tech cores and yes it keeps fuling itself so much so that i will be swaping the chest peice to be something else than perfect truma
Ouroboros is a solid choice for your Striker instead as I mentioned, and it fills both roles so you can put on something longer range for emergency situations.
(I like to use an m1-a rifle with it, socom my beloved)
eh socom is just a worse version of cqb
Welp that goes on my list of red tiers to get next to momento
I was told to get it before i went to hitius
Oh it's 100% worse, but I've had the same godrolled one for almost 4 years now and you can pry it from my cold, dead hands.
lol
XD i understand that feeling i finally got a good? Roll od bag finally
You get really attached to certain items in this game and it can give you blinders.
like me and the Dark Winter.
just to keep this as build advice, you can always throw Scorpio and the DW into a Hunters Fury setup and enjoy it.
I still have an old godrolled baker's dozen from the days I thought lucky shot was god tier
if you play close range (which you do in incursion and killing bosses), scorpio is the best pick for dps if no one else runs it. but it's used as a main weapon and terrible for stacking compared to acs. just wanted to add that
Mostly joking around because so many people blindly suggest the Scorpio despite it having some serious drawbacks.
i wouldn't write it off outright as a terrible pick, but it definitely isn't a generalist weapon
if a dps on the incursion runs a Scorpio it's so nice
Bruh Scorpio is such amazing gun it just works
free amp in conjunction with other support buffs
20% debuff plus higher dps than Oreo if hitting every shot
So far i love how it can deal with both mechs and humans
pros: it's a shotgun and it's busted
cons: it's a shotgun
And yet, still doesn't have as much DPS as the sawn-off.
Truly nothing compares.
Anything acting too much? Empty a mag and its shocked snd takes 20% more damage from ALL sources and due to my build is blinded bleeding and FLUFING prisoned
pro - gives me another reason to use intimidate
Undetected division hack my beloved

Oh yea that sent exists as wll
That's burst and with double barrel sustained matters as well
Ouro defender trying to compare having half as much DPS says what.
See folks, this is why DPS itself is not everything. It can very easily be twisted.
ain't got nothing on my 200 striker backup boomstick build🛌
I don't like Oreo that much tbh
Elaborate please
I love SMGs
It's name means a snake getting way too hungry.
six12
that is both correct and infuriatingly simplified. You're welcome!
And ARs my only problem is running 2 ar or smg has landed me in hot waters as i eat up the ammo 2x fast on pistolario
What’s an smgs
super mega gun
6twelve?
Luckily with most builds, using 2 different types of weapons is more useful.
I like the super 90… the reload speed even with fast hands hurts tho
I'm going to be even more cryptic and just say 612
6twelve
VIXII
ahaha that seems like something a bad tattoo artist would put on your arm accidentally 6twelve
seisdoce
You had a little typo there.
DCXII
along with momento, rouge, decent
DC? 😂
Rouge?
I’m confused now
decent
true div2 player tattoos
direct current
I had "Rouge Agent" as a name on here for long enough to get told that either I change it or I'm getting thrown out.
lol
Rouge was how most people spelled rogue until people started hating 
“rouge is a color”
Rouge is a shade of red, most commonly used as a term for a type of make-up.
Oh I forget it was rivens 
I messed up recently went white oak with mechanical and elmo XD 2 reloads each and no ammo
honestly I'm going to name my alt RougeIsAColor
decentmeansGOOD
if a rogue wears rouge it makes then a rouge rogue
Ppl have stated to relate mid to bad and avg to bad for some reason
The temptation to change my ingame name to "itsroguenotrouge" is overwhelming.
I shall not be able to pronounce that
hey neither can I, but that's a different matter.
mid is avg and avg is suboptimal
both are bad words to use for that.
mid = bad my favorite
But avg means MEAN its not good OR bad
mid meaning bad is entirely from IGN rating every awful game a 7/10, mark my words.
truege
if everyone runs the best build, then it's run by an average person
mean and avg are two different things
🤯
Explain
Now u will say expectation is not mean
A mean is a numeric quantity representing the center of a collection of numbers and is intermediate to the extreme values of a set of numbers. There are several kinds of means in mathematics, especially in statistics
From Wikipedia.
and then they went and rated every call of duty 5 billion out of 10
I can legally say that I paid for that copy+paste.
donate to wikipedia folks, it's an important place.
wh-
👏
**median = **is just the number that is in the middle of the series. (no dividing at all)
Avg is the sum of all the listed numbers / the amount of numbers in the list.
Then whats median?
i didnt say that. your future-sight about whats about to happen now isnt working
isnt that the median
Welp time to equip mechanical animal to become perfect future perfetc
median is the most frequently occurring number in a discrete set
whelp hol up not im confused
or is that mode idk i don't do stats in 3 years now
isnt that the mode
median = is just the number that is in the middle of the series. (no dividing at all) <--- is correct
inb4 range
no that's the average difference between 2 numbers
Median: Middle value separating the greater and lesser halves of a data set
basically what Azur said.
lol thats very good
(i hope naval is catching on me giving consistently wrong definitions by now)
wtf I was taught it was the number that came up the most
oh
you got me dude😭
no that's the riemann sum
Why would someone lie on the internet
My AI Summariser 
Summarizer*
No division u r right it is division 2
the real tom Clancy's division 2?
i will never be able to feel certain when i'm trying to spell exercise or exercize
What’s the difference between Tom Clancy’s The Division & Tom Clancy’s The Division 2
also FYI MEAN and AVERAGE are nearly the same. exception being
you can use average to pick a frequent number of a set of numbers
IE: 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 5
the average number of this set is 3.
my names Alan wake and I have american nightmares
were as mean is strictly the math average of those numbers (ie sum them up and divide )
hmmm maybe explaing it wrong BUT in my defense i need more coffee lol
@blissful rampart drink tea
both are good, but tea is more chill.
I recommend herbal, good for you.
I can finally see the UI on ps 
no way the real umbra initiative?
Thats mode ie frequency
I thought you were a math teacher why are you using internet sources
Actually mode is specifically the most frequent data value, not frequency overall.
i aint no math teacher!!! just like math
Knowing math is good for you, helps keep your brain active.
Remember folks: every bit of math you do, is one less person trying to snipe with a Strikers.
oof hahaha
Bro i have done enough math to nearly fail it for 6 years and now i am not saying i don't need math but the math being asked if me in clg is not needed for what i wanna do
Wait till you see people running 3 pc hard wired
clg?
College*
OH
Collage?
If you don't wanna do math, you may be playing the wrong game, I'mma be honest.
agent keener has 5723 eclipse payloads, if agent kelso confiscates 641 of them, what colour is the empire state building
i thought it was something in the game hahaa
i shouldn't know any of this stuff. im supposedly american. how did i learn this. why did i know the difference between avg and mean? wtffff
Red after I launch keener headfirst into it.
I saw a person run 3 piece some armor set (did not trigger as was rinning 3 peice golan or something)
I don’t think the math is difficult it’s the fact that some of the talents are vague
Wait aint he ded? Like a door nail ded?
💀😭
If they taught you taxes you wouldn't remember that either, let's be honest.
To this day I’m surprised bloody knuckles is TWD
Is busy bee TWD?
I don't think either of those items was in The Walking Dead, but I could be wrong.
bee is an amp
probably a bloody knuckle or two in there
I remember Abraham having bloody knuckles
and yea knuckles is TWD, was just worded wrong on the talent lol
that response from Azur was just so "sigh"
okay I've officially crossed over into "been awake for too long", Enjoy your advice of builds, folks.
I remember someone giving his brain fresh air
they need to fix the talent wording on sledgehammer BUT i seriously dont know how you word that with how it functions lol
Amplifies damage to all stat bars 👁️
if you say DTA it's technically wrong but you can't say damage to plating either
DTA and armor plates ez fix
yup and yup, and doesnt help that sledge is an amp to other DTA you might have in your build
IE if you contractors its that 8% x sledge vs armor (not 8% + sledge, since its not additive lol)
Or, you know, you enjoy 1) whatever random thing you slap together with no knowledge and have fun in solo play and 2) pick a build from the build sheet that we refer to at minimum once a day. You don't need to know math to play with a certain build.
the toxicity
sledgehammer: we don't really know. just use a grenade. the damage buff seems to come from some nebulously defined multiplier that is probably unique to this talent so we don't really know what to call it.
free damage guys you like free damage right just use this talent and toss a nade
"99% of Chungs will hate you if you use this Damage to armor!"
they'll hate you even more when you shoot them in the cheeks
Wait so its good? And i should just keep it on my pistol?
yes sledge is an excellent talent
good option for your sidearm yes but lefty is also good if you're using striker or healer
^ survivalist incendiaries very helpful
Dont want to be joe schmoe tossing foam nades complaining sledge is a pos talent 
perpetuation better amirite
Enemies with debuff have their armor and armor plating receive 40% more amplified damage
easy wording fix
hmmmm change more to "amplified damage" and its correct. more is too vague imho.
agree
it's a subtle enough hint for some folks to know it applies to headhunter damage too 😉
well HH is its own can of worms lol
that's why the more hints the better
"receiving more/amplified damage" = works with headhunter, as seen on scorpio and opportunistic
Gummy worms 😏
What is it that causes the chain killing of determined?
Determined or HH?
Both.
You can get determined to work without HH on lower diffs as long as you have enough damage to one shot. HH just makes it viable at higher difficulties.
The body shot chain killing
hh sees the body shots as headshots if determined is procced. same with hotshot
Are you asking how it works or is there something you might need to word better in your question?
Localdeck explained it thanks
Basically I was wondering which talent overrides the other
They work together tho? There isn't any overriding.
It’s headhunter that keeps proccing determined once it’s procced so the talent affected is headhunter
Headhunters has two conditions to be maintained. Headshot? Does shot kill? Determined is just a buggy mess and has only one condition. While buff is active did I kill said target? While you might think this means sick chains for days, shots to enemies that don't have a proper head will fail HH checks and you'll drop it while you may keep determined after the target dies.
I want to ask for my friend he sorta made a on paper decent headshoting build with mantis but he says it does not proc even on hearshots
Without seeing the build it's hard to know what the issue could possibly be.
Right my bad sleepy brain no think will send tomorrow
Determined has one condition to be maintained:
Is the kill a headshot kill? If yes, the next shot - no matter where it hits - will be a headshot. This is why it triggers itself.
Headhunter retains headshot damage
Is this a rewording? I'm confused as to what's being said here.
Was just clarifying, because Determined is working as the talent describes. Aswell as how the TU17+18 patch notes describes
Which is also why I removed the @ from the reply (I think)
yeah you did remove the @
The only important part is that determined can reproc on any killshot after the first genuine headshot kill.
That's the part that makes it broken strong.
As I think it was stated, warhounds/minitanks drop headhunter, but if its a kill itll maintain determined and I think hotshot since it's just looking at headshot condition of the shot.
Helmets cause both procs to drop and you'll need another genuine headshot kill the restart the chain*.
I think we need a clear copy/pasta for explaining this consistently.
Another thing to note Ig is that hotshot 4pc still proc on any headshot
Hotshot procs on headshots on dead npcs too as long as you're in combat as well 😉
Now that's something I didn't know myself damn
that's a thing?!
Yeah boss 4 IH people take shots on the dead chunga to re up HH.
Wait, since when could aces and eights chest/backpacks drop from outside the raid?
Follow up question, whats a good sniper build for pve?
Think it’s been like that for a while. 4pc hotshot with chainkiller and airaldi vigilance is good
4 piece hotshot with 2 piece HG can be your white whale too
2 weeks and no HG at vendors makes me sad
hotshot?
hotshot gear set for sniping
hotshot outclassed aces on release for sniping
which one is hotshot? The phoenix?
no, look at the description of stuff when you hover over them unless you don't play in english
Ah, okay.
Mask gives me AOK.
I just got a striker mask that does 13.8 damage and 5.6 crit chance.
Should I switch the mask out with the striker one?
(Just for PVE btw)
Run gunner, remove that glove, and get a ceska chest piece with obliterate
Unrelated question. Is the coyote mask better than the gloves
1000% Yes
Tbh I’m not too surprised because everyone I see with this build wears that mask
Okay so I got this going on now.
Gloves; 15.0 Dmg, 5.1 headshot damage, and 8.6 crit chance. This better?
Any advices for my build about survivability
Over a year
Run gunner, get a ceska chest and better mods/rolls
Get a ceska chest with obliterate and run striker gloves
Is headshot damage or weapon damage more important for sniper builds?
both
Alright
Weapon damage realistically
Snipers are innately stacked with HSD and if it's rolled on gear too you'll have a bunch
@magic pilot To each his own and i know obliterate chests are favored by most, but im of the mind that if youre running content before legendary you really dont need the damage from either the striker chest or obliterate, and if you are running legendary or incursion youre shooting enough and you want the extra damage the striker chest provides. am i wrong?
The guy is currently running intim with no bonus armour source
Obliterate is free damage if you're running a crit based build
i meant in general not related to the OP
Even in general obliterate is a very good chest talent
Especially on striker
They both rely on stacking so they go hand in hand
Headshot until you hit hsd requirements for hh then go all in wd
Do you prefer it even on legendary missions over the striker chest?
Well it depends if you can maintain 150+ in leg
You need to consistently maintain 150 stacks for it to be better than obliterate
If you can run striker chest if you cant obliterate
@tulip charm that's a very sensible idea
I don't know the math, but since Obliterate is a different form on amplified damage than strikers isnt it actually worth more than 50 strikers stacks?
headhunter is 150% right?
Yeah
you probably want to ask that to the math guys later on ¯_(ツ)_/¯
effectively it's an amp because you don't have another thing that also adds total weapon damage
striker (with backpack) basically gives you an amp that starts at 1.01 and maxes out at 2 (at 100 stacks). striker chest makes it go to 3 (200 stacks)
however, your damage is a product of many things, including total weapon damage and striker amp obviously.
striker + obliterate means you're multiplying 2 (striker at 100 stacks) with 1.25 (obliterate at 25 stacks) to get 2.5, which is equivalent to running striker stacks and landing at 150 stacks (because it's 1 + 0.01 x 150 stacks = 2.5).
considering you're going from 2 without obliterate to 2.5 with obliterate, you can say that obliterate is a 1.25x equivalent multiplicative increase (what people refer to as "amp" but can be confusing)
striker with striker chest makes you go from 2 to 3 at max stacks, which is a 1.5x equivalent multiplicative increase.
so, if you can maintain max stacks or be consistently higher than 150 stacks, striker chest is a better "amp" than obliterate
In general use you want obliterate, for incursion, past turrets you want striker chest. As far as legendary it depends entirely. I never max striker chest in leg
i've found striker chest to be very consistent for me in both solo and groups but i play very aggressive
👿
4x Hotshot + 2x HG beats 3x Hotshot + 2x HG + chest with PHeadhunter? for snipers
Generally 4 hotshot and chain killer and airaldi is fine
Or providence instead of airaldi
Speaking of which, what's the best in terms of hs damage? +10% wd or 15%hd?
Also, for the mortar turret build I asked yesterday.... Which mods should I use? All skill dmg mods or any skill haste?? Bc I got a contractors with status effects and another one with skill haste... I'm still looking for the contractors w skill dmg
Dunno, I'm running HG blue + bloodsucker, capping at 19k...
3 hotshot, 2 hg and chainkiller isn't really needed
I wanna get it to 20m at least
The extra dmg doesn't really do much
On the bp? Just run providence lol it's the same bonus
And you get a red core
Ya, thing is I like running 2x blue cores on hotshot for solo, but I was suffering to kill the overheled guys and hyena rushers.... So I was wondering whats better, providence or airaldi for the bp
I'm using the m700 (the wooden one), also I run scopes. 
losing 2 red cores hurts a lot for headhunter tbh
Honeslty with 4 hotshot and bloodsucker you shouldn't need much more survivability
Maybe run gunner and swap the blues to red?
Gunner doesn't loose too much dmg, at least less than 30% wpn dmg
But that's the point, I only noticed that when running 5 directives
Wrong reply*
no worries
I'll do that, but only after I get contractors with skill dmg
Actually I only need the backpack, I have anything else for hotshot maxed with reds
This game is so cursed, ffs
I was like "Oh, ok, basically 2 hours without a delta-03"
then I'm doing the Arena on legendary
get disconnected almost in the final area.
There a specific order thats best to upgrade on the watch or is jus mostly preference? I heard do hazard protection before armor or something?
the most important one is critical hit chance (CHC).
Yea already got that, health, and skill damage to 50.
cool. yea im sure theres some optimal order that people have worked out but honestly it doesnt really matter because the incriments are so small that you will never notice each upgrade. and they're all going to be maxed eventually
Yea just playing casually trying to grind my way to 1k so I can start taking advantage of the extra materials on all characters for expertise.
Crit chance, crit damage,
Skill haste, skill duration, skill dmg (pick whichever floats your boat, haste works for all skills)
Total armor, hazard protection
Ammo capacity, reload speed
this is what im using at the moment, im wanting to have a high dps build but i have no clue on where to go from here any tips?
You want crit chance / crit damage on your rolls
Instead of Sokolova run ceska - I’m assuming that’s dark winter, it’s fine but the talent needs to procced on kill which means there’s a chance it won’t be active all the time
You want your crit chance to be 60%
See the list above this post as to what attributes you should prioritize your shd watch points
Talents you want obliterate on chest… backpack is up to you, could go with concussion, wicked, etc
is there a way to re roll my shd points?
Nah if you put them somewhere else just focus on putting the rest towards the ones listed
They’re listed in order of preference
For now I’d just do the weekly projects
Weekly shd requisition, summit if you feel up to it
Weekly project that gives 3x exotic components is a good way you can stock up until you’re ready
Otherwise countdown but you’ll be short on components unless you buy exotic caches from the vendor
also is there a different gun i should replace with dark winter for the moment?
Pinned comment and click spreadsheet. There’s an hf build guide in there.
Also, isn't sleep tight one of worse exotic shotties? IMO Scorpio is way better for utility and damage increase
I would use Scorpio if I had it
What language is that translated into where it's called "sleep tight"? I've never seen that one before.
Polish
The english name is "Sweet Dreams" or "Lullaby", depending on the version.
Yeahhh, I get those mixed. In Polish it's translated to meaning sleep tight lol
cheers!
and yeah it's not a great Exotic, it's only really good for joke builds and melee challenges on purple/red enemies.
I think it'd work for this event tho, given melee requirement as one option to farm
Oh sure that's what I use it for as it 1-taps, but after you've killed the 30 enemies with it, back to the cupboard.
Keep it in build at least till it is proficient. Save yourself 227-300 shd points if you level it with xp use 😎
I ought to get to grinding expertise but I reckon I'll get field research and any remaining SHD tech first
Expertise is really best done as a background thing, I just did it mainly whilst doing other stuff.
Apparel Events/GE's are best for sure. Since they basically require level ups.
are the pieces for my heart breaker lmg build good? i know i need to replace the blue attributes
relying on Nightwatcher to proc pulse is the biggest an issue here.
Well one you need a ceska piece somewhere
You got 6 items that you can only roll 1 attribute on
also hb backpack kinda sucks
This is detrimental for your crits immensely
Iron lung 3rd stat?
oh can rpk or l86 run tech laser?
how different are the stats between the ak-m and the military ak-m?
depends which one IIRC, but yes.
67,227 vs 65,676 base damage. everything else is the same besides mods ofc.
does that take into account having the muzzle slot that the normal ak-m doesn't?
nope just the base damage, the actual difference is build dependent.
okay, cool
i just realized i had a pretty decent military ak-m in my stash that i wanted to try out, only issue is having chc instead of dttoc
ak-m higher damage no muzzle so -5% chc
on Striker's Military is about a % better with strained on both
okay, cool, that's perfect for me
Ceska vigilance bag, coyote, and all crit stats/wd cores best damage iirc
But honestly should just run striker. Hb is limited and sub par in comparison...
Which talent is good for AR to pair with Striker?
imo, Strained
I normally use it, but I wanna be sure this is actually a good option or what else can I use.
Dark Zone is the only way to farm money?
strained and fast hands
Let's say I want to run System Corruption in DZ as a Solo, what would be a good Specialization to run with it?
Honestly this shit here is disgusting
Haven't tried it in Countdown yet, but in DZ it melts everything.
hey guys my div2 kinda slow and laggy this week that its unplayable. any fix u guys know i can work on?
im on pc btw
not the channel to ask that
Is health or armor damage better for sniper builds?
Follow their path, and seek some external sources to make your builds too
My sniper build have become extremely strong.
is legendary meant for 4 people? or is it soloable
Trust me, you really gonna struggle doing solo.
You can do it, I think, but it's so damn stressful.
I rather to chop off a ballsack and keep only 2 than doing strongholds on legendary (or any mission, actually).
Maybe because my builds are not meant to work solo doing those kind of missions, but yeah.
Legendary content ranked by how easy it is to learn/solo:
- Summit
- DUA
- Roosevelt
- Capitol
- Manning / Tidal
@onyx sage correct me if I'm wrong
@onyx sage There are some rule that after fully optimizing a gear part, you can no longer modify it?
For some reason, I can't remove the HSD from my fox thing.
What do you mean by that? And why did you tag him specifically?
You can fully optimize every stat on gear
Wait, hmm, that might be a thing, yeah.
Just get another pair of foxes, 1-2 runs of countdown and you'll have it 
Optimising locks the attribute/core
I have 2 or 3 of them for different builds.
That's so ass, Jesus Christ.
It makes no sense.
Dont optimise pieces that arent set in stone
It makes a lot of sense - but why would you reconfigure something you've optimized? lmao
Simple
Because builds and uses change.
Exactly, so you have several fox's
Well now you know what not to do when a piece needs to be flexible
(buy a carrot, bite the carrot, don't like it, complain to the grocery for a refund)
(some of the actual fruit focused stores will let you do that if it tastes bad 🤓 )
Oh, makes sense to keep alternating it's stat until you fully optimize it, then.
oh you mother... fine
again, you'll have several fox's knees on you when you get further in the game.
for now, you learned - instead of complaining, go get a new one in countdown
Like mentioned farm 3 more. Leave the hsd, then grab a chc ,chd, skill damage set and you're covered for foxs
I'm already doing this, but I can't talk about it? Damn you.
I know, doing it already.
Talk all you want, but I just said to quit complain about something you cannot change and is rather logical once you think about it - and instead get 2-3 more that you'll have anyways for different builds.
Take a deep breath, eat a snack and enjoy the game. You're only SHD 150 pats
She is doing quite fine now actually, atleast last I heard ❤️
So is your mom btw ;)
I like your sense of humour, rudy
You can sell the item you optimised then buy it back to remove the optimisation
That, I did not know 
Sell then buy back
Optimisation go poof
I realised i initially mentioned the person who didn't need the advise desperately lol
ah wait u alr did
It also removes recalibration to make you tweak the piece in a different way than you initially did
Are you sure it works?
Yeah i once used a fenris bag that i rolled armor and optimised but decided it wasn't good
Then i sold and bought back to keep the red core
I'd kiss you if I could.
probably a really handy trick for double rolling something like habsburg unicorns
But you ain't getting the materials you put on the item to optimise it back
No problem at all.
tidal < manning imo but otherwise i agree yeah
Say that to my matador i optimised the 2.7% chc and 8.9% chd to godroll
wony run fixes all the cost
I really need a better Ceska chestpiece, dammit.
Sell your soul and buy it back
tried that, the rolls were still terrible 
The thing is that the one I have isn't great, I only changed the talent.
soloable, enemy health and damage scale to solo so you definitely can. build, knowledge and skill are all you need, aside from summit all of legendary spawns are fixed
Basically everything in my striker build is fine but this thing.
If you're smg or elmo the dps isn't taking THAT much of a punch
Some don't go on it, and when they do, you only have 30 bullets.
you don't have all the blueprints then
some guns have 3 mods it is what it is
you should be farming blueprints if you don't have all
Also short and long rail prevents some mods from being attached
I think I'm doing fine for now, it still only placeholding.
yeah i know, i'm just saying ctar taking crit mods is nothing special, a better gun also takes the same mods
Honestly I like this one more.
The damage is pretty high and the fire rate is not as slow as an AK for example
ROF matters because quite a few things require stacking
I think this is my favorite AR so far, I've been using it for a long time.
I just wish the stats was a little bit stronger, but is working just fine.
Would it be better to farm heroic summit or legendary if Im trying to get a god roll model 700?
There's any LMG in this game that is actually good?
Bluescreen seems interesting, but Idk, it's really worth it?
Bullet King is pretty bad, Pestilence is... weird (I remember seeing it working in the past, I think).
if you clear legendary fast then go for legendary
how fast is fast? if you take the same time as in heroic, it's fast
not entirely weird, it will be OP once you have status effect build
iirc, pestilence had a talent that has a damage per tick or i always called it DoT (Damage Overtime)
Yes, and it's 100% scaled with weapon damage
What makes me a little bit annoyed with LMGs is to not be able to use with shields.
I can understand why, but the weapon somehow feels unsafe to use.
it has nothing to do with status effects
it scales off weapon damage and amps
Gunner for aok, Technician if you’re looking for the linked laser pointer
I kinda forgor 🤣 pestilence is not my kind of playstyle
me neither. some people enjoy it but it's too hands-off for me
There's a handful
I think Tabula Rasa is somewhat interesting, but Idk
Nah it's pretty useless cuz you can't proc in one mag
That's why it's interesting, because the idea is good
But it's poorly designed, not working properly.
I think this is the LMG that made me kinda happy because of how much stable it is, but at the same time it feels kinda sluggish
For an LMG to be good it needs a lot of burst DPS cuz you can't use the crusader with it so you're completely exposed when firing
This is what makes me annoyed with LMGs
also the curse of the suppressed
Ugh
iron lung is my only favorite lmg because it actively counteracts this drawback with burn
bluescreen works too but the low rpm sucks
Iron lung also has the dps
It's a pretty great gun but I don't see many use it
Its because of the lmg stigma
Im a returning player and want to start running raids. what builds am I to start farming?
It is currently the best exotic lmg in terms of dps and it can mitigate suppression
Striker
how many red and blue cores
Full red
Don't need blues
memento?
No
Healer will keep you alive
Striker bag
Memento is not good in groups especially in raids
For Dark Hours run 4 pieces striker /w chest and back, coyotes mask (even though tons of people run it), and a ceska piece.
No need run obliterate ceska
Iron Horse replace striker chest for ceska chest with obliterate
And don't listen to anyone telling you you can't run strikers it's perfectly fine even if in one or two encounters it's hard to build stacks
what skills
Crusader/striker shield and revive hive/decoy/assault turret
but last time i soloed legendary with 6 red striker i got called a cheater...
undetected division hack
no one plays this game for thousands of hours, so i must be cheating
Who tf
hi im kinda new in this game i just finishe the dlc and i want to get the striker gear where do i get that?
countdown on challenging, top right of DC map
select striker as targeted loot and play the mode
is it hard cuz i just reached level 40
no, challenging is easily carried by a few people in the lobby. there are 8 players in it
Is the ravonous mostly used for pvp or pve
Forget matchmaking the majority of the time, just go straight to "call for backup", and then re-call when someone joins.
in the case of Countdown though, it should be working within seconds. Make sure you're on the right difficulty (Chall) and your group isn't set to "closed".
Some things don’t have the option , earlier I tried for Anderson and game said no
What's the strongest smg in the game atm? Exotic or high end
Ouroboros most likely {{citation needed}}
Chatterbox?
Ouro
Bluescreen is specifically good for the BluescreenDilemma build from the sheets, but I don't see it having much use outside of that.
shield in raid - depends who you run with, because it takes heals
Blue screen for blue screen of death 
go back offline. don't you have a 5.11 joke to make
I have not made one since 2 days
Haven't seen you making a descent or fast hands joke either :kek
is there a known percentage% drop rate of the St Elmo's engine?
Same droprate as every other general loot pool exotic. RNG be RNG
AR exotics in the Target Loot pool:
- Chameleon
- St. Elmo's Engine
- Capacitor (if you have the blueprint)
There's about 30 +- (depends on how many blueprints you've unlocked) in the Exotic Cache lootpool.
Who had the most dmg here ?
Why is my -number higher
The star only mean you got more stars in the category right
Or is it just glitched
The level cap was 30 when the game came out, so the devs didn't expect to have us doing more than 2.1 billion damage, which is a common cap for coding reasons. So when we go over that it rolls over to negative 2.1 billion, and starts counting up from there
So the one with the star on dmg allways has higher dmg
Yeah it's correct in a round about way
Ok thx
Guys saw some player blasting something and blinded the enemies. Is that a skills or build?
Blinder Firefly?
Ahhh okay thanks! I’ll try it later
@onyx sage can you hit me up when yo come around?
i'm out of town until tuesday
Just have a few questions.
What kind of build do you recommend to use for two people duoing DUA. Shield peek isn't viable any more and all I know are skill builds to complete it.
Legendary of course.
you can still third person peek, just have to practice doing it. but for duo you can do 1 striker 1 nego. the striker can do the primary damage while the nego role can take some more cover and take less fire
Ok. I'll see about a video to see if I can learn how to do the third person. I think I still remember the spots where you peek from.
get some practice and use 2 utility skills like sticky emp and decoy, instead of using a shield
yeah, feel free to visit my channel
the basic rule is this: stand just far enough from cover and peek out from it
I'm watching this video right now where this guy solos it using headhunter build.
headhunter strats are a lot different and riskier so probably not very applicable to striker roles
Search his name in brackets
That just pulls up chat
it's linked in the profile
In his profile? I don't see a link in his profile. Either that or I don't know how to see his profile.
Only link I see is his banner source.
click on his image then click on it again if your on PC
