[willow void]

Yea using Carnage as primary once vindictive is procd, though i love that its for the whole team also.

[subtle bluff]

You don't need carnage sadist in general is good on all weapons. 35% amp can't be beat really.

[hoary atlas]

Bulwark For Legendary be like

[subtle bluff]

I've said it before and say it again. There's are Selfish Tanks and Support Tanks.

[hoary atlas]

Ok

[subtle bluff]

It's a Tank build that doesn't die. You have one revivie hive.

[hoary atlas]

Hive use for Teammate rather than me

[subtle bluff]

Right only once every few mins

[marble maple]

Which ar/smg do you run for a full red strikers build?

[hoary atlas]

I think shotgun was bad idea for sidearm when use Bulwark

[subtle bluff]

VS other support builds that buff either by giving armor or enabling more dmg, a reviver hive that never down, healing, taking off armor plates etc etc

[subtle bluff]

Depends? W/e you have is the best DPS burst. Really it doesn't matter to a degree.

[hoary atlas]

Use Grenade launcher for Bulwark was bad idea ?

Demolition specialist

[subtle bluff]

Does it help your team?

[hoary atlas]

Use against enemies

[subtle bluff]

I mean yes give 5% DTTooC

[hoary atlas]

I see

[marble maple]

What would be the highest burst dps tho?

[subtle bluff]

ouro

[marble maple]

ty

[hoary atlas]

Have You tried Strega ?

[subtle bluff]

In leggo if you're not doing dmg to help kill things you need to support the team by other means. Just not dying isn't that helpful.

[subtle bluff]

Yes. It good if you have it's talent up a lot.

[hoary atlas]

Use for Striker ?

[subtle bluff]

He asked for highest burst. You have to build up for Strega to work well

Idk where else I'd use it. I wouldn't be able to kill the first target fastest enough to make it worth it.

[hoary atlas]

I see

[subtle bluff]

Nego is kind of backwards since you don't proc the Strega off of Nego

[hoary atlas]

Negotiations dilemma?

[subtle bluff]

Yes

[hoary atlas]

It's 4 gear Nego ?

[subtle bluff]

Being blunt. What else would be?

[hoary atlas]

Sorry mb

[subtle bluff]

There is not many good reason to not active a gearset talent with it's 4pc if you're doing your losing on other stats.

[hoary atlas]

Aah alright

Well im gonna grinding gear

Sometimes I did Deconstructed

[subtle bluff]

If you're looking for builds and some guides look in the pin messages on right-ish side of this channel.

[hoary atlas]

Ok

I'm gonna use division 2 build tool

[subtle bluff]

To note not much is update to date on that

None of the builds are atm.

[wicked valley]

Has anyone tried a bullet king DPS build

[tulip charm]

You can just run any dps build with bk

[wicked valley]

Just returned to game haven't played since summit first came out

[tulip charm]

Well get to farming those dps build in countdown

[wicked valley]

What sets would you recommend

[solar sable]

Striker's is the basic pick

[tulip charm]

Yeah

[wicked valley]

Ok

[hazy steeple]

@wicked valley If you want other good options, check out the 📌 pinned-message in this channel > spreadsheet 2 > builds. All of those are setup for endgame (Heroic+) content.

[warm rose]

Does anyone know if https://division-builds.com/ is still running?

[subtle bluff]

No. If it is it's not updated. The message above you will help you.

[warm rose]

Thanks

[torn wigeon]

is this the better vector

[potent carbon]

Did anyone have ravenous build for PVP?

[shy willow]

Ravenous is already situational in pve I don't think I've ever seen one in pvp

[shy willow]

It's a budget ouroboros

[subtle bluff]

Better yes and no. It's hard to beat Dark Winter if you have Killer actived.

[gentle lichen]

Very good if you stack the red side fully

Can do high burst damage

[steady copper]

if you dont have st elmos you can use lexington. if you dont have lefty, an ACS-12 with the fast hands talent is good. sidearm can be whatever you prefer, same with skills.

[faint ocean]

I have this. But I usually LMG over the Lefty. The rest, I do tho.

[steady copper]

I prefer shotgun because iirc each pellet increases the stack, not just one shot from the shotgun

but a high rpm LMG is also valid if it fits a preferred playstyle

[steady copper]

Also if you want more survivability, you can replace some main attributes with armor instead of weapon damage

[thin crag]

hi guys does anyone have any advice for a new starter? ive been lvl 40 for a little bit but have purple lvl 38 gear and keep dying alot

[bright raptor]

Hub -> Builds https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nrPBmOrtpkEW1j5fbcRT7L-AXgsGOqMqxXoVtopsiGM/edit?usp=sharing

[gloomy relic]

is there a short-guide that explains gearing for lvling and once you reach 40, BEFORE you get optimized builds at 40+?

[patent fossil]

Not really, just run whatever drops at your level. Story difficulty is designed to be easily completable without a proper build.

If you're doing a bunch of mule runs then you could save some of the better low level gear, recalibrate some lvl 40 stats on them, if you really want

[gloomy relic]

i agree with you, but i did find a HUGE difference in going skill tier build +6. my striker drone does as much dmg as me with an AR. literally like having a 2nd weapon at all times

whereas red attributes only gave small things like 12-% weap dmg, set bonuses stuff like that. there was a clear difference in build strength

[winged egret]

you can get 15% weapon damage on gear

that combined with the 12% crit damage roll is huge

[gloomy relic]

not at that lvl. just from set bonuses

i mean lvl 1-20

[winged egret]

oooh yup

[gloomy relic]

probably lvl 40, gun stuff becomes better. but skill tier seems unbeatable lvl 1-20

drone duration is permanent, dmg bum pfrom 40 to like, 400 per bullet

its way bigger than any other attr gear can give you, including set bonuses

[magic pilot]

Everything dies pretty quick before lvl 40

[patent fossil]

Yeah I tend to go blue or yellow cores on gear while leveling, they scale better. There's a weapon talent that gives good WD and SD boost too

[gloomy relic]

agreed, but can still make the lvling process faster with omega dps :D

[magic pilot]

Generally most people would run yellow cores with crit minors and dps brands for wony runs before

Red cores really don't do a lot early game

If your goal is to power lvl just have a lvl 40 player join your game

[winged egret]

In sync i do believe?

[patent fossil]

That's the one, my brain was refusing to comply.
If you have lvl 30 library you can put some big armour bonuses on your sub-30 gear too

[gloomy relic]

i kinda wanna do it solo tbh, not power lvl. just have an efficient solo run :D

all things dies fast, but there are times you dont find a new weapon, and you need 1 full mag per red enemy

and other times 1 mag kills 2 enemies

[winged egret]

i wish the campaign was more difficult

[patent fossil]

If you haven't already, try the Division 1 campaign.

[winged egret]

i played a little bit up to maybe level 7 or 8

wanted to play with a friend but that never happened

[patent fossil]

Well, it's definitely tougher than Div 2's campaign, people are regularly looking for help down in #td1-lfg

[timid lodge]

best website to find builds

[gloomy relic]

ye, norm-hard-chal-heroic should be available from lvl 1, but starting at Story diff

think about how fun the game would be if you could make a group, and literally have to play well throughout the story with bad gear / unoptimized builds

position well and such instead of going rambo in story missions

[patent fossil]

Spreadsheet pinned in this channel

[glass nymph]

A tank build?

[trim wedge]

I’ve seen a few striker tank builds using tardigrade for team play, looks interesting

[patent fossil]

Tanks are generally not very useful in most of this game, since the AI generally just focus on whoever is doing the most damage

[broken edge]

I mean of anything tardigrade is useful for teams

[mellow oxide]

What is dps build exactly

[steady copper]

a build that maximizes damage per second

[mellow oxide]

I have a striker build but I’m lookin for another secondary build for pve

[steady copper]

look at the spreadsheet in pins and find a build that peaks your interest, there’s a lot of builds for a lot of playstyles

the wiki has info on the gear sets and weapons if you’re unfamiliar with them

[mellow oxide]

Wiki🤔

[steady copper]

division 2 wiki

[hazy steeple]

The spreadsheet has all that info too.

[trim wedge]

If you arent a spreadsheet guy like me, YouTube is very useful aswell

[subtle bluff]

even tho 95% are bad videos.

[trim wedge]

All the builds I see I take and tweak to the meta works just fine for me

[subtle bluff]

If it works then go for it.

[trim wedge]

Exactly, to each their own 🤘🏻

[subtle bluff]

But good that you tweak it

[trim wedge]

Most of them are all builds that have been around just gotta use it to your playstyle or come here and ask what you’re doing wrong most people will tell ya right away

[subtle bluff]

You're one of the rare people that understand that.

[trim wedge]

I ain’t against not acting like I know everything, if ya need help ask. You just gotta provide something to go off of so people can help. Keep calm. Division on!

[bleak sequoia]

youtube is great for niche builds though. I bet if there was some way to make Sacrum Imperium not feel like you're poking your eye out with a rusty spoon, there's some YT content that explains how

[fair dragon]

Penguin friend?!

[trim wedge]

Before gta6?

[fair dragon]

Yooooo

[gloomy relic]

man why are there no activities in southwest?

been 2 days

[magic pilot]

reset map

[gloomy relic]

we can do that before 40?

[magic pilot]

hmm not sure maybe go to #ask-td2-community

[hexed steppe]

Is it a prio mission? If so just abandon and get another

[uneven forge]

Is there any lmg build that doesnt use striker? Something that uses iron lung

[trim wedge]

Farming Legmo gonna be fun

I need use my pesti tho so ima try it out

[gloomy relic]

is there a way to get movement speed %? to farm all shd caches all at once

[hazy steeple]

@gloomy relic It might help if you explain exactly what you're looking to do.

[gloomy relic]

speed run all shd tech around the map. im just wondering if theres a set or exo that increases movement speed

to run to places faster.

[trim wedge]

You can fast travel

If ya wanna join someone im sure they could help you get all the safe houses or just use missions

[gloomy relic]

but still thats a lot of running. so the answer is no? no item allows for faster movement of character?

sweet!

is it ez to get?

[tulip charm]

Lady Death which is on kill and Acostas Kneepad which just gives burst of speed. Just fast travel around.

[next arrow]

need help on finding a good lmg build any thoughts?

[rich lotus]

Only reliable thing rn is Acosta Kneepads

I remember the good old days when the booster hive gave movement speed…

You can thank the PvP community for that change!!

[onyx sage]

thanks, PvP community

[willow void]

Any changes or recommendations to this build, I feel like i got this one right for the most part, I imagine its hard to mess up a pure red build lol. I switch out Vigilance for Unstoppable Force when solo.

[subtle bluff]

An OD build over this would do a lot more. Like 85% more

[willow void]

Could you elaborate on that?

[shy willow]

Ongoing directive is the go to for rifles

[subtle bluff]

Go the Pin Messages and in the Build Hub you can find the build guide for Ongoing Dicrective.

[cunning ledge]

😆

[trim wedge]

Now go to the dz agent

[shy willow]

They embraced the super soaker memes and gave us lore accurate doctor home

[torn wigeon]

for a striker drone and assault turret skill build, what gear set is recommended

[hexed steppe]

all highend. possibly with waveform. 3 empress, 2 hanna, 1wyvern. glass or kinetic momentum on chest, and tech support talent on bag

this is what ive been using. geared towards damage and armor on kill. as long as you have 6 skilltiers , you can use any spec you prefer

[subtle bluff]

But please understand it's dmg isn't anything amazing. Any WD build will always do more DPS than Skill builds. But this isn't me saying don't play it just don't be stuck to the idea that's anything special.

[hexed steppe]

eclipse and hardwire gearsets a good for some skills, like status or seeker spam. otherwise just roll highend

[torn wigeon]

bruh why are emojis limited here

anyways thx

[hazy steeple]

It's a div2 server, you don't really need 500 copies of pepe the frog.

[worthy vine]

Looking for a good sustain dps build if anyone has advice.

[tulip charm]

“sustain” as in survivability or just good consistent dps

[worthy vine]

Survivability yes

while also outputting a bunch of damage

[willow void]

I feel like the Heartbreaker set fills that role as a easy one to put together, but I'm sure some better ones out here.

[shy willow]

if were talking sustained you could probably just use bullet king

[worthy vine]

bullet king with heartbreaker?

[tulip charm]

Imo nah

You have striker, heartbreaker, hunters that fill that role

You can go full red and add memento for solo or run a bit of blue cores if needed

[shy willow]

heartbreaker is best used with something thatll take a laser pointer and flatline

[worthy vine]

thank you everyone ill try to make a strikers build

[serene geode]

iron lung will not drop

[strong cave]

Target loot LMGs in either Summit or Countdown. You could also farm activities or missions where LMGs are targeted. You can also do priority objectives for the chance of getting the Iron Lung as well (Priority Objective reward must say "Exotic Item"). Additionally, you can farm DZ landmarks with LMGs targeted loot. It has a tendency to drop there as well, I've gotten 3 in 1 day before all with DTOC/DTA

Lastly, purchase exotic caches wherever you can purchase them too. It also has a chance to drop

[hexed steppe]

👆 exotics farming has never been easier 💯

[iron junco]

Anyone can advice me cool healer?

[hexed steppe]

Future initiative setup

Check the pinned spreadsheet in this channel

[sullen sun]

Can someone post their best tank set up for legendary content?

[subtle bluff]

“Best” Unkillable/selfish tank is PFE Foundry Bulwark.

[fair dragon]

Best tank build is the no tank build

I don't wanna be that bird, but tank builds really just bring nothing to the table

[shy willow]

I wonder if Ru feels a disturbance in the force when tank builds get roasted

[vestal ibex]

FI healer doing almost nothing contributes more in a team scenario, this goes for tanks and turret drone builds.

[trim wedge]

Hey man this is about tanks leave the skill build outta it 😡

[broken edge]

due enemy scalling in groups, loss of one person DPS in exchange for one person suvivability is considered an overall negative

there has been more changes to improve their role by giving team wide buffs and etc similar to what FI healer does

but still not the best option

[tulip charm]

The only skill build I respect is mortar

That shit clears

[junior surge]

Oxi

[tulip charm]

Not enough places to abuse oxi yet

[warm knot]

EP fire is also good. I can wipe the 2 first DUA areas by myself.

In legendary*

[hexed steppe]

Mortar supremacy

[tulip charm]

How can you kill the chungus and minitanks 🤔

[warm knot]

Yup, anything but armored units, I leave those for my team lol. ||not sure if I used the right word for that should've i said "I could"?||

[tulip charm]

Solo you probably can

But not the tanks and chungus

[void steppe]

Is this build any good?
https://mxswat.github.io/mx-division-builds/#/MwNgtAjATG4AxgCyThMCPq5nAuRaOkwKMR526+JREJEcNlFe0khznL2uwAHOy5DucXFARRkAViEyRPKAHZMECOAgBOdRsWQNAzRq5jEuhBpmqwUEsBl8WuNfDAaywnovwcRY9yKA

[kindred marten]

It’s a good build, but I wouldn’t run it with Oreo, Emperor’s Guard or the shield, but that’s just me. I’d replace the Oreo with Scorpio, and the kneepads with Electrique. All main attributes rolled status effects. Skills would be fire starter or riot foam and fire sticky or maybe jammer if fighting BT.

[void steppe]

👍

[void steppe]

Would Pestilence instead of Scorpio work?

[onyx sage]

pestilence would not do anything in a status build

[kindred marten]

Pestilence is a debuff, not a status effect. So, you would still get the ticks obviously, but it would be small ticks and it wouldn’t really benefit from your build. Better to just stick with status effects. Pestilence gets buffed from weapon damage.

[void steppe]

kk

letme tweak tjhe buildrq

Ok, editted the build a bit according to your recommendations, how's this?

[merry basalt]

still being worked on but i think i got this build finished just need to optimize it

[magic pilot]

Solid

[magic pilot]

Great setup

[merry basalt]

anything you would change? i was running pacaros holster but i just got those kneepads so i decided to swap to gila holster and put that providence kneepad on

[hoary sail]

i think fox will be better than provi

[magic pilot]

Fox, prov, fenris, habs

All about the same tbh

Just get a blue core on the knees

Ideally you go emperors

[tulip charm]

You should get electriq gloves and a yellow the setup when you run support ep.

[onyx sage]

no courier...

[void steppe]

I'm primary going for burn dmg and burn spread hence why iwent 4pc ep

[onyx sage]

he means there is another EP build where you only go support and no damage

this is only used in legendary

[tulip charm]

Shut up nerd

[void steppe]

Ah gotcha

[tulip charm]

Actually what does courier naturally rolls

Blue?

[versed summit]

Blue

[tulip charm]

Yeah not farming a yellow one

[versed summit]

Bruh just craft it

Somehow I’ve managed to get one for every character, but still haven’t gotten a yellow setup

[tulip charm]

Im too lazy

I just clock in just to dps for ru :<

[onyx sage]

wow

my lobbies have 0 dps

and this man refuses to help me

[tulip charm]

what the heck

why arent you dpsing sir

[onyx sage]

i am on the floor

[tulip charm]

same

[oak shard]

So I'm looking for a super glass cannon up close melting people crit based smg build, but I really don't want to use striker

But I'm kinda struggling to figure out what I should use besides sokolov. In advance, I'm not expecting this to be any good but I'm just gonna have some fun with it

In the first place how do people even choose a main weapon

[urban latch]

give a backfire hunters fury build a try

[hexed steppe]

Try nego, od, or unbra

[subtle bluff]

Don't use sokolov. Hunter Fury with most SMG will do fine. The right Chest Talent and BP will help. In the Pinned Messages on the top rightish will have some builds.

[shy willow]

I have multiple yellow setups and couriers and yet no normal habs unicorns 😐

[hexed steppe]

good week for me at the clan vendor. got some double yellow palisades gloves ive been missing for my not so afk aok builds. its terrible trying to craft those .
now i need 3 more waveforms 🤔

also emperors guard at cd vendor if any needs

[shy willow]

What have they got on them

[hexed steppe]

i think exp resist

not the double regen 👴

[shy willow]

Rip😔

[strong cave]

I stole a pair off this poor kid in the dz. Also ganked somebody's Ravenous just after Christmas. Had my bro hop on and let him extract it 😂

[cunning ledge]

does it trigger Ongoing Directive?

[shy willow]

The bleed ammo triggers it but plague doesnt

[hexed steppe]

roast it
not so afk, turret/drone
tbf, it works really well.
still waiting to get waveform to drop, but
in the mean time, 48% pfe , 20-30% aok.😎

[restive dome]

why lol? Aren't you in cover anyway while deploying skills?

[hexed steppe]

called not so afk for a reason 😎 , im always pushing spawns

[restive dome]

good luck 🙂 Someone's bored 😉

[fair dragon]

I am always pushing spawns even without PFE mods. it's redundant.

[shy willow]

Sir how do you not have a waveform

[rancid wren]

Do yall have any advice for me to make my build better

[sullen sun]

Does anyone have a build they wanna share that uses Vindictive?

Also I’m trying to include memento in a build, whats an optimal way to do that?

[shy willow]

What's your aim for the build

Rn it's all over the place

[strong cave]

Don't feel bad, I only have 2 Waveform holsters in total. I got mine from a cache when I was like shd 300 and then the other one I had drop in DZ and I extracted it. I rarely if ever see this holster drop 😬

[strong cave]

Try OD or give hunters fury a try

https://mxswat.github.io/mx-division-builds/#/OwWgTCDMIIziAGRympehAuALANnXITNGmhKSpmPifBMBYxopqLec041RLXF5ww8oyfoIGoe0bCAAcSAKzgk2aAE4OpTBPHbxu3JkhqQwULIiyxWsEuwRsSrkA

[hexed steppe]

I have one on the main, but decon all the rest for them sweet components.

[strong cave]

Honestly tho just run sadist or killer. Way better than vindictive. Plus just run coyotes for team buffs

[gentle lichen]

is reanimated actually coming with the 5x?

[strong cave]

If it is, I see hotshot build being whipped back out again

[gentle lichen]

im gonna whip this out again

because literally who cares when you do 48m with this

[strong cave]

I'd just run armor hunters fury with chain killer and Memento lol

[indigo fjord]

Anyone got advice on any non exotic improvements? ive been trying to get the Coyote mask and ran jefferson like 30 times on heroic with not a single exotic drop

[shy willow]

Wtf

I'm intrigued whats the idea here

[gentle lichen]

that was a pvp setup

i literally just changed from intimidate to HH

[shy willow]

How tf it landing 48m😭

[strong cave]

Modifiers and reanimated makes headshot damage amplified by a ton. Stacks with HH

[shy willow]

Oh is reanimated out

[strong cave]

I used to farm CPs during reanimated with 4 PC hotshot and SVD

Unsure. I barely been playing this game as dz pvp is either dead or toxic

And seasonal journey id rather just give up with

[hexed steppe]

Run ceska over fenris. If this change has chance over cap, then balance crit for a bit more chd .
I would run cd for coyote. You'll get drop chance as well as cache purchases.

[tulip charm]

Cancer

[tulip charm]

Please dont join the dark side

[shy willow]

I'm insanely confused why blues but also HH and headshot and regen

[tulip charm]

actually

I think its supposed to be hunterkiller

[shy willow]

Ye they mentioned it was a PvP setup and just swapped intim for hh

That makes more sense but like why hh

[tulip charm]

trolling xd

Imagine not getting a good hunterkiller

[magic pilot]

It's a pvp setup he uses for reanimated

That's why he swaps to HH

You don't need any extra dmg in the event so you can run 5 blue and armor regen/hazpro and breeze through everything

[shy willow]

Ye it's great for expertise farming

Thoughts on tank/debuff build I decided to make up for shits and giggles?

[fresh fox]

lowkey sucks

your only form of team support is mosquito

and thats not enough

[magic pilot]

Also 2 exotic weapons

System terrible in pve

[tulip charm]

Guy is playing the division 3

[gentle lichen]

What's harvest's rpm compared to d50?

[hazy steeple]

FYI: The Harvest is a revolver, it's base gun is the "magnum". The d50 is a different gun type.
To compare them directly; the former is 149, the latter is 200.

[gentle lichen]

Yeah ik i was going to compare them in clearing value if reanimated and both are determined

Since damage doesn't matter i think i'll main d50

[hazy steeple]

Modding the gun is where the main difference will come into play, especially since the Harvest has a fire-rate of 11 points higher. (149: 160) than the other Magnums'.

[gentle lichen]

Isn't regulus 160 as well though it's an exotic

It's inherent iirc no mods required

[hazy steeple]

Orbit/Prophet/Regulus/base all have 160, Harvest is the only one with 149.

[gentle lichen]

Kinda weird

[hazy steeple]

It is kind of odd how many Named Magnums we have.

x45, px4 both got totaly forgotten.

[gentle lichen]

I remember a tactical pistol being named

The gunner one

[thin crag]

hi guys does catharsis mask & eagle bearer drop in herioc countdown?

[gentle lichen]

Catharsis yes

The latter no

[hazy steeple]

^Eagle Bearer is locked to the Dark Hours Raid, and the DZ.

[thin crag]

ah got it, what about persistance is that in countdown
?

[hazy steeple]

although you can pretty much forget about getting it in the DZ, the chance is roughly 0.002%.

[thin crag]

is there a loot table anywhere?

[gentle lichen]

Pestilence? Also yes

[patent fossil]

I believe I've seen a number of reports that you gave to get catharsis out of a cache before it will start dropping from target loot

[thin crag]

ive done like 100 runs and no mask is that normal?

[hazy steeple]

Very normal, yes.

[thin crag]

are chances really low?

ah oke that makes me feel better

[tulip charm]

100 runs of what? Countdown?

[gentle lichen]

That's weird. Something to do with not playing the season it dropped in?

[tulip charm]

Also catharsis is kinda locked to exotic caches until you drop one

[patent fossil]

Not sure, just reporting what I've seen others say. No other exotic behaves that way afaik.

[hazy steeple]

Since Countdown has no Directives, you have to rely on base TL (targeted loot) drop-rates. Which kind of all suck.
To clarify: having to reportedly get Catharsis from a Cache first, before it's added to your drop-pool, is likely a long-term bug, as pretty much all other "season pass exotics" just drop normally. E.g. Coyotes+Memento were from a Season Pass once.

[thin crag]

so what should i do to farm things like that mask / gun? should i just keep running countdown on heroic?

[gentle lichen]

You can still do countdown and buy exotic caches then

[thin crag]

would that be best way?
is countdown generally best way to get grear?

sry for all questions i am new to all this

[gentle lichen]

It pretty much is if you look in the grand scheme of things

Only stuff you won't get there is dz exclusives and raid exclusives

[thin crag]

got it, and should i drop trying to get the mask and change the targert looot in that case and just try get the mask from caches?

[hazy steeple]

Running Mask TL, alongside buying the Exotic caches every 2-3 runs will give you the best chance.

Just make sure you are playing it on Challenging, it gives you the best speed for your time:value.

Heroic will technically give you a higher chance, but unless you have a dedicated group, it will be quite a lot slower long-term.

[thin crag]

oh challenging not heroic?

[tulip charm]

Well countdown credits gives you access to dz named

[thin crag]

i got advised to run geroic

[tulip charm]

Never run heroic

[hazy steeple]

Countdown is all about that speed:amount of loot gained.

[thin crag]

ah damn feel like ive wasted alot of time now

[tulip charm]

Always a 50/50 coinflip if they succeed

[hazy steeple]

You can average about ~40 pieces of loot per Countdown run, the bulk will be TL.
So think of it as spending time to get that many.

[thin crag]

is there no higher drop chance in heroic?

[hazy steeple]

^

[thin crag]

ah sry muissed that got it

[hazy steeple]

No worries Agent , this is all far too complex.

You get used to it!

[thin crag]

ty for all the advice 😄 feel like ill make a little more progress now

[void steppe]

Fixed it a bit, how's this for a bulwark?

[fair dragon]

Hmm

A shield-less FB

[fresh fox]

could use more team support

like protector/oppo/galvanize

[tulip charm]

Just run scorpio or mosquito instead of doc home

with shield

[obtuse shoal]

I'm having a lot of fun with this pvp backfire build recently. Would you change anything? I got foxes, ninjabike bp, walker mask, ceska chest with unbreakable, sokolov holster and yaahl gloves 90%hazpro (+10 bleed resistance for immunity), other attributes are ch and chd.

[magic pilot]

Could go cav knees and switch a few hazpro to Chd

[obtuse shoal]

wouldn't my dmg suffer if I took off prayers?

[magic pilot]

Or swap mask and knees to electrique, that's honestly probably the best option

[magic pilot]

No, you would gain 36% chd

Swapping to electrique the move for sure

[onyx sage]

but sir, it's the m-word

[obtuse shoal]

I've just checked and you are right, with my build I get on avg 282208 dmg per bullet without stacks on backfire and 470557.2 with max stacks on backfire and if I changed to your suggestion I get 294679 without stacks and 470258.6 with max stacks xd

[magic pilot]

Sick

I know stuff sometimes

[magic pilot]

Don't you say it

[obtuse shoal]

Hey do you know why do I still bleed with 100%bleed resistance?

[fresh fox]

you lose 10% haz pro in conflict

[obtuse shoal]

that would explain it

[sudden fog]

hey guys

is striker still the best with oreo

[winged egret]

Strikers is just the best but still fun to use other stuff

[fresh fox]

ouro lowkey sucks but yea striker still best

[sudden fog]

so st elmo’s

[obtuse shoal]

okay I made mistake here because i just swapped foxes and added additional chd mods to get 36% more. I've just tested the build with cavlier and electrique and without stacks on avg: 289326dmg and with max stacks 468660 dmg so I guess point where these 2 builds are the same is around 70-80 stacks on backfire. Probably nobody cares anyway but I wouldnt be able to sleep at night if I didnt check it lol

[vestal ibex]

Expertise on the weapon will change these numbers too.

Higher expertise will favor foxes.

[winged egret]

Dark winter is doing work too

[rancid wren]

I'm trying to make a hard hitting build to really punch through armor

[onyx sage]

you just need high damage

[sudden warren]

you can get catharsis from doing priority objectives they're super easy that's how i got mine

[strong cave]

Yo 😂

love the build too 😎 ditch your sadist LMG for iron lung 👀 trust me its hella fun to make people bleed and be lit on fire

sure, damage loss, but gaining more fun is more important

[tulip charm]

Iron lungs is for noobs

Bluescreen is where its at

[strong cave]

least im not using pestilence with status effects build 😂

about as useful as ninjabike with 5 pc improvised

[magic pilot]

i was wondering why you were chasing me LMAO

i usually have pesti on but im testing stuff for spreadsheet

[strong cave]

Lemme know if that LMG is worth it. I tried it but didn't like how it performed

this is my current build. Ninjabike, yes, but this is mostly for solo play. does just enough damage to 1 shot named enemies. just enough. works flawlessly for modifiers

used to run Picaro's for being able to take it into PVP but they made it redundant

[hexed steppe]

🤫 dont tell the rookies how to unlock godmode

[strong cave]

Running Butcher would do that. If I'm gonna recommend a ninja bike build it'll be at least the one I posted lol

And actually halfway decent?.. ish

[steady copper]

are the blue armor pieces part of a gearset?

[strong cave]

No

[steady copper]

what are they then

ive never seen blue armor

[strong cave]

Default drops with red weapon core

[hexed steppe]

Colorblind mode

Its green normally

[strong cave]

Oh I thought they meant the core 💀💀

[strong cave]

SHD 12k. Def not a serious build

I'm sitting at 13566 shd

[onyx sage]

i'm 14222 now 💀

i made it when i was bored

it deals highest psychological damage in every team

[strong cave]

How bored are you?

[onyx sage]

i'm retired

[steady copper]

ooh okay

[strong cave]

yall dont see that dot...

[bright raptor]

judging by how the user of this build kept shooting at me, they weren't happy that I was outdoing them with Hunter's Fury and a Banshee

[strong cave]

Their first problem is what the hell they have built

[strong cave]

Also, DZ?

[onyx sage]

i mean it makes sense but like

if you can't outkill someone with this build in heroic and below that's skill issue

[bright raptor]

no, guy kept shooting at me between mission room encounters and after clearing the mission

[steady copper]

as a sub shd 300 I don’t know what’s going on here

[strong cave]

Damn was hoping to bring out my 1.6m armor healer troll build

With unbreakable

[hexed steppe]

Slackin 😉

[onyx sage]

it's a headhunter determined 1886 build, basically a one tap build using one of the buffed rifles this season

they giga buffed it but the fact that the user got mad at krieger made me chuckle

[steady copper]

im pretty sure i got that rifle in the dz once

[strong cave]

fixing to slack off with my seasonal progression with this build 🥱

[steady copper]

if i knew i couldve uses it, i wouldnt of scrapped it for dz resources

[hexed steppe]

Go glass

[strong cave]

if they ran hotshot they wouldnt have that issue lmao

watched dod's video, glass and non glass is negligible. hes right tho dont be a moron and open peek corners. its not hard

prolly gonna do that

all set 👍

[hexed steppe]

Now just switch it over to nego and you'll really be cooking

[steady copper]

Is there a reason for using the ceska chestplate instead of using ceska gloves and striker chestplate?

[onyx sage]

striker chest is rarely needed outside of hard content

[strong cave]

Slots in best everywhere. And before update it would charge up quickest. Required less stacks than striker chest. I'm also doing my seasonal journey and the modifiers allow me to crit for 2.7 million

[strong cave]

How much armor can I get away with??

Ravenous Nego 👀

I wanna sit behind a shield and just shoot yk

[kindred mango]

It’s because you don’t generally get the chance to build that many stacks during gameplay

[hexed steppe]

You wont need armor. Survivabity through superior damage output 😎 .
If it's for pvp disregard

[strong cave]

Definitely wouldn't take it into pvp unless I'm close range fighting with Ouro

I'll slap the build back together and give it a shot with Strega

[shy willow]

😔

Nd strega has been a fun combo for me lately

[tulip charm]

Damn

[robust trout]

Hi! im a new player, any recommendations on what exotic to try and get for a Stryker gunner build or other sets to run with them?

[solar sable]

Elmos is the basic pick. Bluescreen is also a good option (if I'm not mistaken)

[shy willow]

Both handle really well and have crowd control talents

[robust trout]

ive been using elmos and i do have bluescreen i havent tried it yet ill give it a go. any armor recs?

[solar sable]

armor recs?
Basic Striker's set:
ceska chest w/oblit
Coyote's mask
4pc striker's

[hazy steeple]

The trick with div2 is: Exotics are not the "best possible gun" that you can use. It's all about the specific build.
Like in the case of Striker: Elmo is a good mid-high tier choice.

[bleak sequoia]

someone posted this on Reddit today: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/12vzrBI53INNVcKx25ILuvwIgJDg2xUvOO_IA0uctlwE/htmlview#gid=0
I can't speak to the accuracy of the methodology but the ranking feels right

this isn't taking into account the talents I believe, and most of the non-exotic DPS talents should provide better DPS boosts than your typical exotic talent

basically if you're looking mostly for burst DPS (which seems like the case if you're running strikers) - a good roll of a non-exotic and a good talent should beat an exotic usually

[abstract mauve]

could you break this build down? i'm interested in trying to replicate and run it

[shy willow]

It's a one shot 1886 build

[outer dawn]

So I'm SHD 341. Gone a couple years. I got an Elmos, Capacitor, Scorpio, Ninja, and Coyotoes Mask. What's a good solo build to rock? Sadly missed out on Lexington

[shy willow]

Chain headshots and you'll one shot I think everything without a helm or plating

[abstract mauve]

so for the attributes would I just roll headshot damage + weapon handling?

[sly ferry]

Anyone have a build that doesn't require an obscene amount of stacks to be effective and can use any weapon. I'm looking for a versatile all rounder blue/red build. Tired of heartbreaker and striker and crusader shields.

[outer dawn]

Is 4 pc striker with elmos and memento still good?

[winged egret]

it kind of is the same that needs stacks but they last much longer and generate quicker, Umbra initiative

you go into cover gain your stacks of rpm then just run through everything with your like 50% increeased rpm

[shy willow]

Yes

[shy willow]

Everything good needs stacks unless you go all high end glass and vigi

Or HF

Actually even HF and nego have stacks

[subtle bluff]

HB without chest is only 50 stacks...

[sly ferry]

What would you swap the chest for? I also dislike having to be shackled to ACS-12's for Strikers HB, all other weapons feel very sub optimal for building stacks.

I just need like a build where all I gotta do is shoot something :>

[shy willow]

High end glass cannon and vigi

[tulip charm]

Hunters Fury

[shy willow]

Nego

[tulip charm]

Yeah but requires too much brain activity to use

Also I don’t enjoy being a human decoy 😭

[shy willow]

Generating more threat than a whole overcharged decoy

[tulip charm]

Tell me about it

[sly ferry]

Might give this a look, looks fun and has baked in CC

[tulip charm]

Yeah running HH with it is fun

[sly ferry]

oh shit. Just got both in countdown.

[winged egret]

nice!, i liked the strega it was a fun gun

[onyx sage]

you don't need acs-12 for striker

[subtle bluff]

All you have to do is shoot. You don't neeed use acs12 to build stacks.

[onyx sage]

trust me, just land shots with your main gun and you'll be fine. most people don't speedrun things where they actually want to stack fast

[hexed steppe]

facts. m1a benefits a lot from the handling, and as long as you are stacked, it hits like a truck 👴

[void steppe]

why is your thing blue???

[shy willow]

Colour blind setting

Makes some hud elements way easier to see

[void steppe]

ic

[rugged monolith]

What is the best meta build in the division 2

[fair dragon]

drone turret

it's the best NPC build

[hazy steeple]

There's a list of "meta" builds, 📌 pinned in the "spreadsheet 2" of this channel.

[rugged monolith]

Ooo thank you

[rugged monolith]

Question where do i find that

Wait nvm I found it sorry of the ping

[restive dome]

Is this a better blue buildcompared to the previous one I cooked up? If not, thinksomeone could link me to a sustain-type blue build?

The previopus one if needed
https://mxswat.github.io/mx-division-builds/#/KzC0YBlAmUBZRSYly2IFwDYyRvUARjgHZVz00NDQAOcfBYWSiijAZgE4iewW2rShmBYGUAUMGoRsPJOlSIGaMDJRCEDkSw9CJGvo0kFSFcB4aIZQv205FKkto2FLKaBAkQawrJ3olTHpiHUUgA

[strong cave]

The question I mostly have is, what are you aiming to do with this build?

[void steppe]

Ah autodelete hownice, pretty much sundowner mgrr

[strong cave]

If all you're looking to do is draw aggro and play as a shield, then you're looking for the wrong builds. In the world of division 2, Tank type builds are redundant entirely. Plus, "tanking" doesn't really exist. All content of this game is focused around overall damage output. There are a few places where builds like these are necessary (Raids, Legendary, and even PVP Builds). If you're looking to play a tanky roll but still do damage, heartbreaker but crit based would do you better. The armor cores of heartbreaker increase shield health, which most heartbreaker builds use in between 3-5 blue cores. Use memento and you'll be borderline unkillable

[void steppe]

Ah, ic. In that case, foir damage output, what would you recommend a person who's returning from a 3 year hiatus (according to xbawx) to utlize aftr transferring to PC? [Also nice Rangiku pfp]

[bright raptor]

Heartbreaker but with all core attributes rerolled to red

[strong cave]

I just took my buddy's Foundry Ridgeway Regen build and made it crit based for damage. Also swapped it from utilizing survivalist and instead chose tech for artificer hive to help team skills and refresh the shield health. Also, foundry repairs your shield too. Builds like this (similarity) are best used in Legendary difficulty content

https://mxswat.github.io/mx-division-builds/#/IwJgtAzGAMbsNG2U1yBcwAslHzAOwFokoZYAccuCtopDGUUs4Zjp6AnNVGx+zKZwLaoIFJMVWgDYwVECLkE5g9CACsPHMGjENcWDNWcQBKDuA8UIaK2gI1G9FlgEDFHBXHRMxCAgQzFSCQA

[void steppe]

Wouldn't using the tinker station also work?

[strong cave]

You're better off running memento backpack with just normal heartbreaker

[modest path]

What is the most optimal build for DPS on Countdown? (other then striker)

[strong cave]

Heartbreaker is meant to give you armor and damage. The purpose is to have damage without trading too much survivability. Just dipping into red with heartbreaker you may as well just run striker and use bloodsucker

[strong cave]

Ongoing directive, very slept on gear set. Helps you and your team do damage. Doesn't rely on stacks either

[void steppe]

Something like this?
https://mxswat.github.io/mx-division-builds/#/CwNgtATGAMYIxmDZtUvagXKdC9wGYNko0zMBWI0+SeCGs484JGhJz5mTAgdjpEO3Li2rJhokTyKwCATngL4wPMFhxgjFJggE0ISdOi6QFCXCmdKmABzGZ9vgNtRbR1EA

[strong cave]

You can also run negotiators dilemma, that also got a pretty sweet buff

[bright raptor]

Memento in group content

[strong cave]

Run this instead

https://mxswat.github.io/mx-division-builds/#/OwWgTCDMIIyyAGRympehAuALANnXITNGmhKSpgKzQnjwxjkYuk7ZTLMU+s5Wck3ViNQ5aXUVLFgqHDjAQRG4fNiQAOAT0yyAnCAUJQAsElz5eWRmpBUTyXByvVMkA8FAaIGuDpXEsNqsQA

[strong cave]

If you can't DPS quick enough in a group setting to get memento stacks, that's a definite skill issue

[void steppe]

That lookspretty neat,will do thanks!

Altho i gotta ask, wouldnt a bulwark do a bit better for shielding instead of a crusader?

[strong cave]

If all you'll be doing is hiding behind a shield, run the same setup but use strikers instead. Roll a few armor cores, switch the mask for a striker one and find a Ceska brand chest piece with crits on it. Find it with obliterate or put obliterate on it with CHC and CHD attributes

[bright raptor]

Bulwark locks you into pistols and the double barreled sawn off only

[strong cave]

You're limited to your pistol and most pistols in this game are ass. Regulus, Harvest, Orbit and the Magnum are the best damage pistols

[void steppe]

tbf i primarily use a shield when ive no cover

[bright raptor]

And you were complaining about suggesting a red rerolled Heartbreaker

[strong cave]

The ballistics shield should be enough

[void steppe]

alrighty

[strong cave]

Because it's redundant. You need to pulse for stacks. You'll have no armor to get the damage you need for the stacks. Just run striker at that point. You can take any specialization on striker. Heartbreaker, for best ease of use, damn near requires technician for the linked Laser Pointer mod

[bright raptor]

Judging by the amount of reply pings I sense mad

[strong cave]

God forbid you get EMPd lol then your pulse no longer works

[bright raptor]

EMP does not disable the Technician pulse laser

[strong cave]

No, I just know what I'm talking about lol, there's math involved and you have to really know game mechanics

[strong cave]

Exactly! So you can still pulse

[shy willow]

Memento in group settings isn't as good

[strong cave]

I find no issues running it when I play in groups but I'm usually up close and personal anyways

[shy willow]

The better your team is the worse it gets

[winged egret]

i gotta make a memento build, still 0 expertise on that one for me

[strong cave]

Be honest tho how many of us be regularly playing in groups besides countdown matchmaking 😂😂😂 majority of us solo players

[bright raptor]

also for posterity's sake there was one pistol that actually had decent theoretical damage at the quite literal risk of giving yourself a repetitive strain injury

naturally Busy Little Bee got nerfed to be a bit less insane and more focused on its intended use

[shy willow]

Me😭

[strong cave]

The mag size change really wasn't needed 😮‍💨😮‍💨 they didn't need to do that to the gun at all

[shy willow]

Playing solo ain't fun anymore for me

[bright raptor]

Ping this vegetable

[winged egret]

i don't unless playing with friends which is also rare

[onyx sage]

play on pc naval

[shy willow]

Sir if I had a pc I'd probably be on it

Bee is a pretty underused sidearm cuz it's gimmick is effort

And people will run Elmo or something anyway

[strong cave]

Ouro didn't either lol

At least not the damage. Rate of fire for sure

[strong cave]

Memento is probably the best exotic in the game

[shy willow]

Ouro is still insanely good

[bright raptor]

Use the crit setup here, use Memento in the backpack slot and Ceska in the chest slot https://lite.evernote.com/note/dac488ca-a827-b49b-7b65-917751756b2c

[strong cave]

I love it but going back to my sys corr build with it on, the damage isn't there anymore. Feels like I'm shooting staples

Even on striker it doesn't hit as hard as it used to feel. ROF nerf i was cool with but damn the damage is just gone

[winged egret]

i'll probably sub out the HF for negotiators since i gotta level that up, appreciate it though

[bright raptor]

I wound up not actually drawing it because of not wanting to get an RSI

Also if you're grouped and have a KARD Custom that is almost always more useful to get someone off the floor

[strong cave]

PvE it still rips but idk pvp it's just... Ehh? Now

[shy willow]

If they made pistols full auto like rifles I could see it getting more use

[bright raptor]

just watch them fiddle with the recoil stuff in the inverse of the auto rifles situation

[shy willow]

[strong cave]

Nah just watch them nerf a bunch of shit instead and then feed us recycled 6 year old content but in the form of non optional seasonal modifiers

Then call it "new"

[subtle bluff]

bwwahahaha still works

[tulip charm]

Double red when

👀

[strong cave]

Hold up... Healer sniper??????

Slide me the mf build if so

[onyx sage]

harmacist build

hh with healing chem

make it happen

[winged egret]

I wish the division had more wacky stuff like that

[strong cave]

I'll build it rn 🧠

Might go high end on this one tbh. Break away from the utter cheese hotshot is

[tulip charm]

sadly game doesnt reward wacky builds the higher the diff goes

[onyx sage]

the best i can think of is HHF as a potential "wacky build" that turns out to be meta

but that only happened once

[tulip charm]

fair

[strong cave]

Sadly, no. My healer striker build i made out of pure boredom worked for legendary content... But it was not efficient for what a normal healer could do instead

Definitely gonna keep it for fun bc why not lol

[tulip charm]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[thin crag]

hey guys in the shd watch, what should i upgrade in handling / scavenging & utility? like what should i priorotize out of the 4? im only lvl 30 currently been doing only weapon dmg and armour

[strong cave]

It'll work in CD just fine as well as summit and missions so it's not totally useless

[strong cave]

Focus crit chance in red, focus armor in blue, focus skill haste in yellow and green focus weapon handling

[bright raptor]

crit chance then crit damage, utility is choose whatever, maybe hazard protection

doesn't really matter that much as you will fill them all out by 1000

[subtle bluff]

No. It’s a my weird ass healer striker build because I heal too much incursion runs and need to do something different.

[void steppe]

Slide?

[strong cave]

Slide it. I wanna check it out lol

[subtle bluff]

No one else should do it is not good. I just do it well enough for it to work.

[tulip charm]

i mean to be fair chow is also trying to solo carry 2/3 newer players in incursion

[strong cave]

Been there done that. Shit ain't fun 😭😮‍💨

[tulip charm]

masochist behavior

[subtle bluff]

💀

[subtle bluff]

Bro.. He’s right it’s an issue with me

[bright raptor]

"why do you have a Nightwatcher on instead of a fourth striker piece"

[void steppe]

I might as well be a new player seeing as how I haven't played in years and recently transferred to pc

[strong cave]

Or they come in with ninjabike hunters fury 🙅💀

[subtle bluff]

How many 1 to 2 hours runs I’ve done to clear FTC’s is not healthy

[onyx sage]

have you seen hunter's fury with sawyer's

[strong cave]

NAH I'd tell them GCRock discord server at that point. Go find other hard carries there

[void steppe]

Which reminds me to ask:
Is a build I made for status effects any good (and should I reroll to red core instead of yellow)?
https://mxswat.github.io/mx-division-builds/#/MwNgtAjATG4AxgCyThMCPq5nAuRa02kwKMOxFG+pRmEtcpVlluRdrL36uArIRjkuIqrmAB2SMJ6zsuKMAAcWAJxSIAyH1p8Ym5GKiIpCVX0hpFYYBaXd2IeGFUzRvCfjRy4Ct9yA

Where do you think I’ve most of them in….. Few 100’s of them…

[tulip charm]

yeah

basic fire ep

also get everlasting gaze

shits cool again

[onyx sage]

psst tsunami.....

[tulip charm]

b-b-but my fire ticks 😭

[bright raptor]

Change the Electrique crit chance to skill damage

[onyx sage]

bro is minmaxing fire damage on hard difficulty

[tulip charm]

75% goes hard

[bright raptor]

would have been great if not for them removing league time trials

[void steppe]

Everlasting Gaze is the sick ass SCAR right?

[tulip charm]

named police mk17

[void steppe]

Okey

[tulip charm]

yeah

[void steppe]

I know I presently use it

All I need to finish the build on mypc account is vile and electrique holster

[onyx sage]

i hope they continue the winter project-esque time trials

[tulip charm]

can you bully them enough to make it hard?

[onyx sage]

i can make it legendary 🗣️

[tulip charm]

legenedary speedrun

[onyx sage]

[void steppe]

At what poin should I go run incursions btw

[tulip charm]

gotta finish dua under 17m for 1 component

[void steppe]

I've been avoiding them and COuntdown likethe plague

[onyx sage]

countdown is super ez

[strong cave]

And that's why I don't raid carry anymore

[onyx sage]

incursion if you have a decent striker

[void steppe]

I primarily run the fire build you saw me post a second ago, would that suffice?

[onyx sage]

it's good in countdown, useless in incursion

[void steppe]

Think ya can send me an incursion-friendly build?

[onyx sage]

pinned spreadsheet, striker guide

[void steppe]

ty

[onyx sage]

basically you worry about having enough damage to clear ads so the pros can carry the mechanics and the one-shots

[void steppe]

p

[onyx sage]

having good damage makes their job as easy as possible

[tulip charm]

"pros"

lets be honest index is gonna do the carrying

[onyx sage]

i am not one such sadly

[tulip charm]

trust

[subtle bluff]

I don’t run raids… I was invited into one then forced to run it..

[onyx sage]

just lfg in community discord ez

if you believe hard enough it becomes true!

[void steppe]

True! I once believed I could fly for 10 seconds!

hey guys was also just wondering quickly are there eu / na servers? why am i constantly on 140 ping only on this game?

[tulip charm]

there is na/eu

[winged egret]

i've not done a healer build yet but just did for countdown, does btsu gloves have a cooldown for me or can i just spam it to stay overcharged for myself
?

[tulip charm]

its a cooldown

for everyone

[onyx sage]

it has a cooldown yes (technically 2 but i won't get into that)

[tulip charm]

dont

[onyx sage]

ignorance is bliss

🗣️

[tulip charm]

exactly

[thin crag]

what do you mean by green focus weapon handling do you mean accuracy sry?

[shy willow]

Different sections of the shd watch

Damage stuff is red skill stuff is yellow weapon stuff is green and blue is armour

[winged egret]

is he colour blind?

there is no green unless you have some sort of colour blind thing

[shy willow]

?

[strong cave]

Focus weapon handling. Weapon handling improves everything across the board (stability, reload speed, swap speed, etc)

[winged egret]

OH maybe hes talking about gear sets?

[shy willow]

Bottom right

[winged egret]

oh

[thin crag]

i was meaning which one shouldi focus first in weapon handling like accuracy or stability

or does it not matter too much?

[strong cave]

SHD 8... Hardcore character?

[shy willow]

Nah I pulled it off google

[strong cave]

Weapon handling, as stated

[shy willow]

There's no stat for handling on the watch

Just the separate stuff

[strong cave]

Wait what ?? I swear there was

[winged egret]

Damage, armor, whatever for skill and ammo capaciy was my first round of 50

[strong cave]

OH STABILITY

Is there the ammo one still????

[shy willow]

😭

Yeah 10 percent ammo capacity

[strong cave]

Do that @thin crag 👍

[thin crag]

i went with stability 😄

[strong cave]

That works too

[thin crag]

ty guys

[strong cave]

I say focus ammo or stability 💥

[thin crag]

should i choose the rare mats for scavenging?

i dont really understand what scavenging is just higher chance of obtaining?

[winged egret]

i'd personally save it

[strong cave]

I say save those for when you need them

[thin crag]

aaah got it, i see its just areward

[winged egret]

basically it will give you 1 of the set material it says. If 50 steel 1 point will give you 50 steel

[thin crag]

think i understnad it all now 😄

[strong cave]

Yup! If you're gonna invest, I recommend waiting until you get a lot of watch points to make it worth it. I'm SHD 13k+, so I'll have about 12k worth of points to dump on every newly synced character I make and obtain the keener watch on. Don't invest in Recon Data or SHD Calibration. Run Countdown for that, or clear Control Points. DZ Landmarks with the proper PvP builds are also a viable and fast option

[outer dawn]

So if I'm going 4 piece Strikers with Coyotes and St. Elmos, what's a good either kneepad, holster, or glove to use? I'm assuming there's a good named I should farm

[strong cave]

For just normal content or for raids?

[winged egret]

i'd just worry about getting the strikers first

[outer dawn]

I have strikers. And generally solo atm

[winged egret]

ideally as close to 15% weapon damage as you can

[strong cave]

Solo play, go 4p strikers rolled to crits. Ceska brand chest piece with weapon damage, chc and chd rolled with obliterate or glass cannon talent. Coyote mask. Lexington as AR primary. Can use St Elmo's or Eagle Bearer. Chameleon works good too

Aim for 50 CHC and stack CHD everywhere you can

[bright raptor]

Ceska with critical hit chance + critical hit damage as you need the crit chance

[outer dawn]

Sadly just came back after year 1/2 off or so so I missed Lexington. Don't use Strikers chest? Good to know

[strong cave]

Strikers chest only viable in high hostile environments and tanky af enemies like Raids/Incursion

[bright raptor]

outside of the Incursion there are very few enemies that let you build that many stacks

[outer dawn]

Makes sense. thanks

[bright raptor]

high hostile
they all die too quickly anyway

[winged egret]

even if you aa12 them and get max stacks

they're gone so quick anyways

[strong cave]

Boss fights would be where the striker chest is appropriate. Anything other than that and it isn't worth it

[bright raptor]

well if you're using red like an intelligent person instead of M U H B L U E S T R I K E R

[winged egret]

2x striker 3x umbra and ninja bike

[shy willow]

Legendary and Incursions are the main ones for striker chest

[winged egret]

rpm go brrrr

[strong cave]

Blue striker is just so fun tho. It's literally monkey class. Run, shoot shit, yeehaw guns blazing

Memento on it 🤠🤠🤠

[marble maple]

In your opinion what's the easiest dps set to run for a run and gun kinda playstyle? Was thinking hunters but heartbreaker also seems pretty good in terms of survivability

[bright raptor]

try both and see what you like more

the pinned spreadsheet has guides for both

[tulip charm]

Ive been run pgc vigi in leg

Its great until your in the floor the next second

[thin crag]

hey gus does the efficient trait mean i recover 40% armour instead of 20% with firewall spec?

[tulip charm]

yeah

[thin crag]

got it ty

[uneven igloo]

https://mxswat.github.io/mx-division-builds/#/EwdgtMYMwWCMYAMSXLajiBcVI2ZJABwLpmao4As0KhYRk5zmWRGTFLzW3X-ZLMACctAgIloscYXjBVRw8HETJh7YaJ7AArKOWJwOiMgBs4btOCn5YHeBpnHXLCFfxSA6mFPGQCUy1MIA
Is this build good for conflict? (There's a missing exotic holster which is centurion scabbard)

[fresh fox]

no

striker chest is really bad in pvp

[uneven igloo]

Well, i thought it was a good idea to bring it, since RPM allowed me to keep stacks during the fight.

[shy willow]

even in pve striker chest is situational

200 stacks is super unrealistic in pvp

[uneven igloo]

Wdym by that

[uneven igloo]

If you're not running heroic or legendary stuff, that is true

[shy willow]

like you're never gonna be consistently sat at like 150+ stacks

even in heroic chest is overkill they die too fast

[steady copper]

so it would be better to switch out striker’s chest for ceska?

[uneven igloo]

I have 58% crit chance, dunno. Unless you don't have maxed out mods, ceska probably could work

[uneven igloo]

Then i shall switch to perfect efficient chest?

Or go with unbreakable?

[shy willow]

good options

[uneven igloo]

Alr.

[tulip charm]

Chatter is so bad for pvp. Replace chest for ceska unbreakable. Conflict is doesnt use watch level so its -10% chc.

Vector or Oreo is better

Also cath for abit of survivability or coyetes for damage

[trim wedge]

You only run striker chest and backpack combo for incursions, for free world and heroic content ide run 4 pc striker including backpack, coyotes, and a ceska chest with obliterate. Just keep you chc at 50% and put all the rest into chd, can also make a striker set for raids using same ceska chespiece with obliterate or go perfect glass cannon with either providence perfect vigilance or a groupo bag with regular vigilance, for raids tho I prefer the all gold build doesn’t rely on stacks or anything just outright damage

[fresh fox]

centurions buffs are halved in pvp as well

[tulip charm]

imagine running cent in pvp

[fresh fox]

it would be good if it wasn’t halved

[tulip charm]

sounds like the perfect piece for versatile builds if that was the case

[fresh fox]

versatile in pvp 😟😟

stick with ad rush intimidate!!

[rich lotus]

I am new with all things division 2. Do you have any advice in a language I can understand with making my own personalized build?

[hexed steppe]

Check the pinned spreadsheet in this channel 📌. Lots of text/image build guides. Should be easy enough to copy pasta into google translate if you need non-english explanations.

Start with the guides, and fine tune to personal preference. Listed setups are generally the optimal setup.

[sly ferry]

Is spark a good talent to choose for this build? I run a striker drone a lot.

[hexed steppe]

No

You're focusing weapon damage and removing the possibility of a bag talent. Use obliterate /spotter/glass

[grave shard]

hi guys im a returning player im liking the game im 259 shd level i know i need to level it up im trying to get all blueprints too and last time i played was when ST.elmos engine came out I'm still trying to understand what's new and i need a build to do multiple things and i need recommendations im not going to do raids for now i think i need to learn them i just need a build to not suck at everything any suggestions/tips

[sly ferry]

got it, ill keep farming!

[hexed steppe]

Glass and spotter can boost both weapon and skill damage. Glass is strongest and doesnt require pulse

[sly ferry]

I worry about my health, those rogues slap pretty hard in countdown when they look at me ;-;

[hexed steppe]

Yeah it is a challenge to use, but if you force it you'll start dominating. Increase survivability through superior damage.
But dont use the drone in cd, they get hacked

[hexed steppe]

You'll also significantly increase damage by dropping ninja and the umbra piece, and replace with striker bag and ceska piece

[sly ferry]

Im having a hard time hitting crit caps, havent had much luck on mod farms yet. It's why I slotted in ninja and Umbra.

[hexed steppe]

Ninja just lowers damage output. It has some very niche pvp use, but it's way different build theory for pvp

You could also try nego, comes with crit on the set.

But a regular striker/ceska/coyote/elmo setup should have you in the 50/150ish range. Depending on watch and specific attributes/mods

Pre nerf is was 52/173 with that setup

[sly ferry]

I do have a decent coyote in my stash. How would you set that up?

[hexed steppe]

Push to 50chc range, dump rest of mods attributes to chd. As.you get better better items and fill chc on watch just gradually shift rolls/mods to chd

[sly ferry]

got it, ill give that a spin

[hexed steppe]

Nego can use the same setup as well. Coyote mask/ceska chest glass or oblit/ rest nego.
Both nego and striker are quite strong

[hexed steppe]

Striker is gonna be one of the easiest builds to setup and use. You can use any prefered ar, like elmo, lexington, famas, etc.

Something like the attached image. If no coyote , can use grupo mask. Crit chance to 50%, all else into crit damage.
Acs12 shotgun/smg slot in well as secondary. Spec is personal preference, but gunner fits well

Also for both of ya, take a look at the pinned spreadsheet. There are a lot of good builds you can work towards.

[tawdry flare]

i would use the new named AR if you have it

[hexed steppe]

I do, sometimes. But I have it on only 2 agents, but use all 4. I skill more than dps lately tho, so its normally cap or mop for me

[obtuse shoal]

Hey does anyone have any good ravenous pve or pvp build? or is it still garbage?

[vestal ibex]

Rav just ain't it.

[mint axle]

the only thing I can think of ravenous PvP build is SC with critcs

because the talent of destroying armor plates doesn't need a build for it (PvE) , and the damage talent is kinda less viable than just holding the trigger with an assault rifle for a high Damage per second.

[onyx sage]

ravenous in pvp is just a bonus armor giver, the explosion damage doesn't really do much

armor plate damage buffing is useless in pvp

[mint axle]

well, with SC dmg bonus from blue armor and intimidate, it can hit kill players at full red stacks.

it's not a good build but I had fun with that.

[trim wedge]

What’s yall’s pestilence builds ? Tried building the one ikia dropped in his vid but farming lengmo for 3 days in a row has me turned off the build, looking for something else now as I hate using glass cannon, as a backup for the lengmo build

[sly ferry]

how do you not die when an enemy decides to sneeze on you.

[hexed steppe]

Cover. I'll utilize gunner pulse a fair amount on dps to disorient spawn groups

[tulip charm]

A normal high end build works

Lengmo is the minmax version of it

[indigo fjord]

https://mxswat.github.io/mx-division-builds/#/IwWgTCDMKhAsA2EAGFbUfegXMAnOFDIWKJuVubhBNLCHHJcxctnKME3S769mACshHqz6UBTYNFHixGAQiSpgwCMAAcBfCryc8Efvjkts8uWeyRlFrieRA
This is what Chat GPT said was a build to solo legendary difficulty

[hexed steppe]

Glass does take getting used too. Oblit works as an alternative if your spending too much time napping on the floor

[tulip charm]

Good old reliable

[vestal ibex]

Plenty of people run solo legendries with full red no shield. It takes knowing the ins and outs of the legendary mission you are doing as well as strats.

[tulip charm]

yeah

[indigo fjord]

👌

[tulip charm]

Another one is striker

[pearl turtle]

what’s the highest crit chance i could really get running a 6 core skill tier build? im currently sat at around 37%

doing a skill/crit hybrid build but still focusing more on skills

[tulip charm]

60

[pearl turtle]

i know that’s the cap but i mean gear wise? i can’t really seem to get it much higher without sacrificing skill damage

[vestal ibex]

60

[pearl turtle]

damn so i just gotta keep gettin good i guess hahaha

[bleak sequoia]

10% on the watch really helps

[pearl turtle]

yeah i’m still levelling that up!

my skill damage on the watch is very close to 10

[tulip charm]

https://mxswat.github.io/mx-division-builds/#/MwTgtATG4AyWdEOU1CBcAWAbCsBGAg-YPJKNRdcKcQqTAVjJcvWAHZ5ZXe2cwmOD0p8y7ABzcxothFCDoU-I2YquK3CqltZM9HsNYDMjIZRA

[junior surge]

I mean cores don't give crit chance, so running all skill tiers won't affect your ability to accumulate crit chance or damage

[tulip charm]

easily 60 with cap

[pearl turtle]

my turret does 125ish and my drone around 80ish

i’ll send me build over in a sec

[vestal ibex]

Watch-10%
Weapon-15% or 36% for HE SMG
Mods-18%

So if you take an SMG ez overcap if you take an AR you'd need an extra 17% to get to cap.

[pearl turtle]

i’m running capacitor and an AUG, the AUG has 60% crit chance but the capacitor is around 37

cap still ends up doing more damage anyway though

[bleak sequoia]

just recal your secondaries to CHC

[tulip charm]

Well yeah cap has dta and dttoc

pretty broken

[pearl turtle]

my cap doesn’t have the dttoc roll on it yet 😦 i’ve yet to find another one before i recal

[tulip charm]

Just reroll it lol

[bleak sequoia]

naw getting 2 is a good policy

[pearl turtle]

i don’t wanna incase it makes worse then i run out of mats lol

so i’m waiting for a second one

[tulip charm]

skill issue just get lucky /s

[bleak sequoia]

yeah it's not that hard to grind exotics

[tulip charm]

but for real

[pearl turtle]

i’ve gotten so many exotics since, but the cap is just refusing to drop

[tulip charm]

Screenshot your build and post it here with stat page

[pearl turtle]

i will do shortly

[bleak sequoia]

Capacitor has 10% CHC. Watch has 10%. You have 9 spots available on gear to add 6% CHC each. That's way more than enough to hit 60

[pearl turtle]

all my gear is rolled with skill damage, CHC/CHD but i’m probably still doing something wrong

[bleak sequoia]

well that's your problem right there

[tulip charm]

you still have space for chc

[bleak sequoia]

if you want a guns and skills build, you gotta save those recals for your CHC/CHD rolls

[tulip charm]

even if you roll skill dmg in every piece

[bleak sequoia]

don't waste them on skill damage. A yellow core equipment will roll with skill damage naturally

[empty rune]

How are people getting 30m+ on their one shot builds?

Im running 307 HSD , Perfect headhunter and vigi with hotshot and only peaking about 27

[tulip charm]

expertise

and some run the mythical red hasburg

[empty rune]

How much exp ?

[tulip charm]

27m is more than enough for everything

uh idk expertise 27?

[empty rune]

Ah

Idk how to properly rank up expertise ive been using the same 3 build for a month n a half now and only at 4 on all of them

[tulip charm]

lots of mules and countdown runs

dw it takes a long time

Also you need lots of materials

[onyx sage]

what's the build

[empty rune]

1sec at a Con Point

[pearl turtle]

sorry for the phone camera pics it was just quicker lol

[tulip charm]

Well for starts you want a ceska pieces

That alone is 14% chc and 10% skill damage

[pearl turtle]

oh? man i am uneducated lol

i’ll go farm that rn

[tulip charm]

also you want 3 piece empress

[pearl turtle]

so i did have that originally but i swapped it out for 3 hana u cos it gave 15% wep damage

i still have the gear piece to switch back

so it’s good

[tulip charm]

meh

also go technician

free +1 skill tier

[pearl turtle]

yet to unlock it

taking me ages

[tulip charm]

Still go unlock when you have time

[pearl turtle]

yeye

how many ceska peices?

[tulip charm]

1

[tulip charm]

You want a white death or Model 700

[vestal ibex]

For ease of finding his build in all those screen shots.

[empty rune]

Idky it sent it like that

[vestal ibex]

To see upwards of 30+ mil you typically need max expertise on a Model 700 or whitedeath.

[empty rune]

Ahhhhh

[vestal ibex]

You'd also need your spec points into MMR damage, a full watch, and a perfect build.

I know you are over 1k but I've seen people forget to distribute watch points before.

[empty rune]

Yeaaa that was the first thing I did during the last x5 xp

[onyx sage]

yeah virtually everything is perfect except the mmr which you've read above

[empty rune]

Ahh word then ill just work on it. Hitting 28s now with the okay death i have

[hexed steppe]

3 empress or no empress. Not much in between.
Dont use force multiplier, it's a very strong talent but not for turret/drone. It's better in a quick proc situation like mortar/seeker something with a burst of damage. Get a tech support piece.

So skill/weapon hybrid? This was how I tackled it.
Drew all my skill attributes from the skill efficiency in empress and memento, so 38% in all skill buckets when stacked +the brand bonuses

[pearl turtle]

i have the memento pack

[hexed steppe]

If running global modifiers you can get away with not a lot of chc. Retribution can stack up to 50% chc. I would try to hit 40% with modifiers on. 1 cap mag at mid range will have you at 60% chc in that case, then itll be 120 more shots before you dip below max again

Personally I think regular turret/drone is a bit better. Since itll be glass and tech support. Skill damage/haste everywhere.

In either case as long as you have the 6 skilltiers you can make use of any spec.

[rich lotus]

Should i run my ouro with

• striker, coyote + 1 pc of sokolov
• 4 hunter fury + memento + sokolov chest piece with obliterate

or any alternatives

[vestal ibex]

Anything will work really and the biggest difference you'll see is dependent on content/expertise on ouro. There are quite a few striker variations in the striker build guide.

[rich lotus]

ill settle for striker + coyote + 1 pc of sokolov then!

[trim wedge]

Why 3 pc hotshot instead of 4?

[tulip charm]

More damage

[onyx sage]

sometimes you don't need the 4p like when trying to minmax damage

[tulip charm]

4 is qol

[onyx sage]

it's one of the rare gear sets where going 2p or 3p can give stronger results than 4p

[trim wedge]

Ahh I gotcha I’ll fix mine once I’m home then, I had no clue

[tulip charm]

I mean if you're already hitting for 25m its up to you

[trim wedge]

I hit at exactly 25, but I’m always up for some more dmg

I made an all gold build 2 weeks or so ago and put striker down it’s fun having the upfront damage and only having to proc obliterate, it’s similar to the “solo legendary build” that was sent ^

Now I just gotta venture out from Elmo’s and Lexington, might start trying flatline

[subtle bluff]

So the idea for a well optimized dps build is get your CHC between 50-54 then the stats into CHD. Using the right brandset can make this optimize better.
Also since we played together quickly hopefully you know don't use Striker Chest pc normally pretty only on incursion or anywhere where your shooting long enough or able to build without needing dps for a few seconds.

[trim wedge]

Anyone else feel as if the Ouro was nerfed to shit ?

Or maybe sledgehammer just wasn’t being proced correctly in the incursion

[tulip charm]

Probably just you

Oreo is still a strong smg

Just that smg with a damage talent can now beat it.

[winged egret]

Dark winter is a beast now

90% Crit damage is insane

[trim wedge]

Yeah ide take the 90% over a useless talent

[subtle bluff]

Only when the talent is active it's great otherwise it's OK.

[subtle bluff]

Both were nerf. Sledge is only 20% vs 40% dta.
Ouro nerf was nerd was hard but it was overwhelming powerful vs anything else in the game.
Don't forget striker nerd too.

[trim wedge]

Yeah nerf after nerf and it’s still top tier 😅

[winged egret]

Yea true, but it's active a lot of the time with 50+ cc

[onyx sage]

okay nerd

[trim wedge]

I got lucky and got mine from a named crate never had to touch the DZ

Rolled with DTTOOC and everything, it was a beautiful moment

[winged egret]

I haven't gotten ouro yet, wanted it but getting incursion going is a pain in the ass

[trim wedge]

I thought so aswell but once you find a team it’s easier than running a mission

[subtle bluff]

It's really isn't if you got the right build and squad to do.

[rich lotus]

Yeah I’m gonna go for striker backpack, gloves, kneepads and holster. Coyote’s mask and the Sokolov chest piece with obliterate.

[thin crag]

hey guys what geberally works better in pvp is it memento or catharsis mask?

for most situations*

[tulip charm]

Cath

Memento is for when you want to farm and being able to fight back if you get ganked

[subtle bluff]

Get Ceska chest (it fits more weapons) then this the only other time where I would be good for fox's

[solar sable]

Depends on what you want to use as a skill build, there are a few in the spreadsheet

[junior surge]

Just about any build with damaging skill are nice to combine with cap

[tulip charm]

And hybrid skill builds works really well with cap

[keen plover]

Tips for build please. Tag if u have any ❤️

100 bleed resis 70 hazpro umbra backfire build. 57 CHC can get up to 450% CHD. Give it a shot why not 🤷

[thin crag]

hey guys if i want a good backpack from countdown should i filter loot for backpack or brand?

[fresh fox]

brand

[hazy steeple]

What they said. ^
Try to think of it like this: if you filter by Brand, you are only pulling from a 1:6 chance.
If you go by backpack: it's every single backpack in the game in your pool.

Same goes with farming out Named Items. Brand is a smaller pool.

[thin crag]

aaah i see ill do that in that case tyvm 🙂

[hexed steppe]

Mortar. Turret drone. Hardwire cluster seeker spam. Eclipse fire

None need ninja. It's always a downgrade. The only exo you'll use on skill is btsu, possibly waveform, and vile for ep fire builds.

A couple examples included

[shy willow]

I was thinking there's gotta be another one then realised imperial dynasty is still trash

[magic pilot]

Pushing the mortar propaganda still

[shy willow]

It's good stuff

[hoary sail]

i play with this one for mortar

[hexed steppe]

Mortar Supremacy ™️

[shy willow]

Consider using glass instead

Skilled isn't that useful tbh

[magic pilot]

What do we think

[shy willow]

Beautiful

[hexed steppe]

The one I posted.
Full cap/pca stacks, 10mil mortar strikes.

Full cap stacks/pca and oc- 13mil mortar strikes

Get rid of chest talent for glass. Mortar is around a 10sec cooldown, so not needed

[hoary sail]

it's for mines

[hexed steppe]

Or just go full hardwire and embrace the spam

[shy willow]

At that point yeah just go hard wired

[hoary sail]

🤢

[hexed steppe]

Same difference

Hardwire got a big buff this season

[hoary sail]

i try it nd dont like it

oh really?

[shy willow]

Cut the cooldown even further iirc

[hexed steppe]

Yeah, you'll have to check the patch notes. You'll get damage from the hw chest and a he bag talent.

[magic pilot]

Backwards I think

Glass chest, Hw bp

[hoary sail]

love ur name 🤣

[magic pilot]

I think backpack decreases cooldown by half

[hexed steppe]

He'll be a convert eventually

[magic pilot]

Just changed it lol

[hoary sail]

yeah that's why i said that

[hexed steppe]

Probably right. It been years since I used hardwire

[magic pilot]

Had me doubting myself

But yea hardwired basically is 2x as strong as before, cooldown is only 5s

[hexed steppe]

Consider btsu+stinger over the seeker.
With glass. Unlike the seekers you can throw hive out with only a few charges. The oc is pretty dope, and a big asset in teams

I'm not a huge fam of cluster seekers. Even if you have more clusters than npcs on the screen, itll only target 1per npc.
Hive will dump everything on whatever is in range.
I can usually throw out a hive while still oc, and it just rapid fires into whatever.

[shy willow]

the initial hits scale with explosive damage too right

[tulip charm]

No

[hexed steppe]

Not on hive

Its not a huge impact or a reason to not use hive tho. Most of your damage is coming from sd,tsd,amps,dta

[magic pilot]

He's right actually

[shy willow]

ah so it gets affected by dta

[hoary sail]

don't like much hives. I prefere seeker

[shy willow]

I guess the charges are considered explosions or smth

[magic pilot]

The intial hit is for whatever reason
