Open map, look at the bottom of the screen for the button prompts, one of them says 'target loot'
Setting target loot in the summit will also set it the same in countdown
If you're in DC you need to highlight the mission on your map to see the option
like i press F on it ?
i found it
thanks for the answers !
so i can target sniper and my bro can target shotgun ?
I just recently returned to the game the other day, after 2 years. A lot has changed and I was wondering where I can get a lexington. I checked my inventory, my mailbox, and my alt character too. It's nowhere to be found. Is there another way to get it now, and what are the best game modes for grinding maxed out gear?
Yes, everyone has their own TL so there's no conflict between each person's go-to.
You can't get Lexi, for now at least.
It was a limited time reward
Maxed out gear is more rare than exotics. Countdown (Challenging difficulty) and Summit.
is countdown doable solo?
No, it's a 8 player mode
Everyone matchmakes for it so there's no issue
Not quite
I mean you can solo carry for sure
Its just a mission where you do 2/3 side obj and one main one
so solo or no solo?
I'd recommend not to go solo
thx
Plus, no one can steal each others loot/drops
ya fk dz
You can stay chill if that's a concern
are skill builds still viable for legendaries? I'm still rocking my seeker spam build with stinger hive.
They're alright but people perfer cc or fi for leg
i mean i guess but like your team won’t be too happy
would complete stuff faster with a support skill build or just a full red
why not? i usually get top two in damage
have people been running actually good builds?
it does decent cc as well. spamming seeker mines every 5 seconds
I'm not sure, i've been teaming up with randoms the last couple days since I came back to the game recently
ah I see. ty for your input
Any good builds for lady death?
HF seems to be the most common with Lady Death
Is this a decent crit build for rifles?
I ask because I could continue rolling my coyotes at crafting I just don’t know how lucky I’ll be.
Pretty damn good, especially for your SHD, nice job. You could run the Contractor’s Gloves for the DTA, or the Eagle’s Grasp Zwia gloves if you want more handling. Those are just alternatives though. You can definitely run it like this.
Thanks. Alright I’ll probably give it a whirl.
what's the backpack talent? Looks like Creeping Death but I'm probably wrong since I can't see any status effects on the build
why creeping bag?
You’re right, that is Creeping Death. I get that and bloodsucker mixed up sometimes. Yeah, that talent should be Vigilance or Bloodsucker for survivability. Or Unstoppable Force even.
It is Creeping, I am using it because my vest has a maxed status effect slot and I have Vindictive on my 1886
no status then status effects are useless
at least not worth speccing into
Also because I use firefly and popping weak spots has a tendency to trigger status effects so I get that value
I need to get a new bag, which I could just run some floors on summit to get. I’ll probably run with this to get that.
do you know about recalibration?
yup, makes sense. Sounds like you can just target z.o.o. on countdown and farm chest and bag at the same time
Also, I was gonna mention Fire. With Coyote Mask, you can keep your CHC just above or at 50% because the range you play at will give you the extra CHC you need to cap out. That’s why a lot of people use Contractor’s because you get the Damage to Armor roll instead of an extra slot for CHC, which you can typically account for with the rest of the build.
no they still use ceska
Doesn’t matter much in the grand scheme of things. Personal preference. And he has Ceska already.
is this strikers or high end
it may be worth farming a grupo vigilance for the bag, and eagles grasp named zoo glove. its just a brand flip/flop but eagles will give you some extra weapon handling
highend #td2-build-advice message
ok my bad
then yea contractors goat
i should start reading context
but i don’t want to do that.
you and me both 
i'm not da best at builds is dis good?
sometimes my gun total damage goes up to 109k
Honestly, it’s a bunch of random pieces thrown together, so no. Your holster is a MMR piece, but you’re using Rifle/AR. 1-pc Legatus is trash, honestly. If you run the rifle semi-regular, run the Fox’s Prayer Kneepads. Replace the chest and holster with Ceska/Grupo. I don’t know how you wanna play though. If you keep Catharsis/Palisade and Gunner, I’d run everything red, that’s plenty of survivability. No Adrenaline Rush on that build though. Try to find something with Vigilance. And find a better rifle, since I’m guessing that’s the Everlasting Gaze. That is not a good one for a DPS build.
Run a different chest talent too, Focus requires a zoomed scope, which limits your view and less crits. Go with Obliterate, hell with that much AOK and the Catharsis healing, I’d say you could handle Glass Cannon. YMMV.
But the build spreadsheet is a good suggestion.
i wouldnt glass a build that gets some of its damage from taking hits.
tbh tho, i would just suggest farming out a striker, nego, or hunters fury, and build using one of the spreadsheet guides. you can use the same chest and mask on either nego or striker, both strong setups. hunters fury could cover more of a defensive role since itll disorient and give armor on kill, pairs well with memento.
why coudlnt it be dmg out of cover
You're just unlucky, keep trying if you have enough exo components
Remember to favorite the gear once you finally reroll to it
Wouldn’t want an accidental dismantle after going through all that
my boyfriend got a god roll max stats .-.
as i struggle with being broke and no tbeing able to upgrade
I wasn’t talking about using it for damage, but for the survivability part. The glass part isn’t gonna hurt too much with 20% AOK. Or it shouldn’t. That much AOK should sustain him until the cloud. The extra damage would just be a bonus. I know Catharsis works better with more armor/tank builds since it’s 50% of a higher number. But, I’ve used it this way and thought it worked really well actually. But, I understand not everyone plays the same.
glass for survivability
, how do you figure?
the only reason to use glass is for the damage. using it in conjunction with catharsis really isnt synergizing well. something like oblit or spotter can boost damage without increasing incoming damage.
Running blues with glass cannon is kinda contradictory
Like the armour will be worth nothing
im not against glass tho, i think a lot more can run it with practice. but it doesnt synergize with the op current loadout
Imo best on builds that have the DPS to kill stuff on sight cuz you're gonna be made of paper running it on anything
Or on skill builds where you barely ever leave cover
this is where i would just swap out the build, it was correctly identified as somewhat of a mess. i personally would suggest hf memento for the op. it kinda gets that armor on kill mechanic while also being better at generating damage and kills.
Ok, I’m not gonna argue with you. If you read my last post and this one you’d see I was talking about using Glass with Catharsis. Your comment “i wouldnt glass a build that gets some of its damage from taking hits” seems to suggest that you understood what I was talking about it. Admittedly, that was an hour ago, so you may have forgot that you said that. But, the cloud from Catharsis is 100% survivability. If you wouldn’t run it, that’s fine. I have and likely will run it that way again as I like playing with Catharsis sometimes for the cloud. If you don’t think it synergizes, don’t run it. It was just a suggestion. I normally don’t recommend for new players to play with Glass, but I also do see some advantages to doing so, as it helps make you be more aware of your surroundings, making you a better player in the long run and felt like he could manage with as much survivability as he has.
0.o
⊙.☉
thats what i meant with the comment. with glass increasing damage taken but catharsis needing hits to generate damage. also the fact there is no other significant damage sources i just dont think its a good fit. if it was build different and had solid synergy i wouldnt be so hard on the glass idea, but the setup as it is just doesnt have that... it could easily have oblit or spotter to have a damage buff without causeing increased incoming damage... catharsis and aok wouldnt need to repair nearly as much in that case
low synergy and low shd also implies the op is new to builds and could use some better direction than leaning into a bad build with one of the harshest chest talents
drop vile, full crit
He’s right
vile is bad on that. you need amps like glass or ep bag to use it effectively
i would coyote 100
Don’t need coyote just more CHC and CHD
itll buff the team while you also give them the bleed ammo
Sirs what about the forbidden triple tick
I agree with the rest of the build, I usually like to suggest ways to improve the current build rather than pointing them in an entirely different way, to retain the spirit of the build. Again, I feel like it helps in the long run to point out ways it might not be the best way to run a certain piece to get them thinking about certain aspects of making g a build rather than pointing them to a build or the spreadsheet, that’s all.
Oh wait he's running blue screen not pesti
Only good DPS for leggo is Strikers. Support builds there’ a lot of different stuff
Ay where nego
thats fair.
Leggo requires DMG that’s reliable. OD is not reliable because it requires things to do die to keep up the HP rounds.
would strega be a good gun to use with ND?
local is the author, he doesn't update anything /j
It's alright. Nego kills won't proc Strega talent.
i would push my own guide, but its unicorn intensive and not as easy to run. i would try the standard setup and then if you like it, go for something a bit more exotic
It's pretty nice
its a fun setup, ngl. i do a lot of team stuff so the btsu really gets a lot of use
Ya motar isn't easy to run for sure.
Refactor mortar could be pretty funny
yellow contractors fits there as well
Fun build once you get it down.
Let me add some oil to that.
My thought of the new Exotic Weapon.. Use a BTSU instead. WIN.
💀
btsu gloves, perfect combined arms. about a mil or so damage
Wait the deflector shield counts as skill damage right
i havent even really looked into the stuff for next season yet
ymmv, i used it in leg dua with decent dps guys and it was good
no
Healing as a tank
holy shit
use hazpro eclipse
i got a build for that as well
i think this actually will be good
Like bro if you sit in front of a chunga
Can you even run deflector with the smg
hybrids or my profile
Pistols only rip
Dreams crushed 😭
If you haven't ran motar a lot it's not gonna good of the bat. You need to know the spawns for it to be really good in leggo.
right now it counts any hits that don't kill the enemy
Oh
I wonder if the repairs heal shields
so if you kill the enemy in one shot it doesn't do anything
this could also play into heroics as well. easy to get caught out if you arent used to the setup
Dien check if sniper turret can fully heal with the new gearset
if it doesn't kill with the hit
Oh 🤔
yeah idk if it works as intended, pts content is subject to change so keep that in mind
🤷
All they do is change some numbers most of the time
And leave everything the same
Does refactor heal just armour or shields too
just armor
i'll only recommend stuff if it works on legendary or raid or icnursion tho
looks interesting tbh. youll want to at least use a good bag talent since youll be trading chest off to the set. youll mostly be sd stacked with cap and the sd part of talent. btsu/hive and maybe oxi could be interesting depending on the use
Im definitely gonna mess around with refactor to see if anything works particularly well when I get my hands on it
are you just getting started in legendary?
then the unfortunate answer is mostly still striker, but that's due to the fundamental problem you need to solve in legendary: damage
striker is recommended due to its ease of use over other builds that have higher skill floors
if you are experienced then there are some builds that can speedrun it
it's good
minitanks are the biggest reason why i don't recommend using HB over striker
Yea.... The one thing I just throw EMP nade and hope the rest of the team kills it.
I'm HB for most of my LFG leggo. If it's with people that can do DPS well I will go Strikers.
I wanna retry that Zoo again
Minitanks are the bane of my existence
We left like 4 mins on the table with the ending. LOL
some people would be like "oh just ignore the minitanks and kill the controller". the minitanks are meant to be in your way. they hit hard, stagger with nades and are for all intents and purposes the "second chunga". it's in everyone's best interest to kill them. it's very telling talking to someone who gives that kind of advice and completes tidal in like 1 hour 30mins over... 30mins
It can be fiddly yes
There's other setups that will do less damage but are easier to farm
TRUST us it's not that bad.
At least you can shoot the ammo belts on chungas😔
Ask us how long it's take to grind this...
Can use the courier but it's not any easier to farm
you can use perfect creeping , habsburg named courier. regular creeping on eletriqu/hanna u
ive used golan and habsburg creeping bags. being a team based build , ive found team kills fast enough. creeping is kinda redundant since the kills spread the foam anyways. this is why i switched to setup. just makes the kills faster
for use in legs, creeping might be preferred. but thats gonna be personal preference
itll be usefull in a few other skill builds for sure. like oxi , turret/drone, explosive builds that done need a specific chest
and its really not to bad finding any of the unicorns. ive got duplicate mortar setups on all 4 alts
them habsburg pieces are way harder to farm 😎
localdeck is not a talent
If you don't have a yellow-cored Sacrifice, you can replace the wyvern with 2 PC Hana-U. Either way, Glass Cannon is one of the key ingredients
can also do the 3pc empress, 2pc grupo, 1pc china version
No, whatever reason, do not use Empress
Skill health is an empty stat as far as a mortar build is concerned.
skill damage and skill efficiency
its basically 6 in one hand, half a dozen in the other. 2 hanna wyvern is pretty much the same as 3 empress damage wise... personally if i didnt have a setup yet i would shoot for 2 grupo, 1 china, 2 hanna (one being force multiplier) , 1 wyvern glass
its just that the build is gonna change. once it does you would be farming to replace the empress
and be edged out of the best damage backpack talent
the unfortunate truth
What's skill efficiency again? Damage, haste, status effects, health, duration?
essentially weapon handling but for skills 
Skill Buckets™️
Recently logged back on and I'm seeing where a new "lexington" AR was released. I did not receive this in my mailbox and I only have one character. Stash isn't full either. Any ideas on how I can get this AR?
It's in the Special Deliveries part of the mailbox
If it's not there you didn't log in during the eligibility window and are Sierra Oscar Lima until they give it out again
What yall think of this for DZ? I’ve been told its too good for my level lol
When I joined another dudes lobby for DZ, it was lvl 1000+ DZ and I was crushing them with it but they said i need get to lvl 1000 myself for it to do good
If you was crushing them at SHD 419 they might not be DZ players
But yeah it’s a standard meta build 🤘🏻
Only way it worked is when I shocked them then pulled the vector out
Otherwise I got obliterated
Yeah most people in DZ are proficiency level 27 and have to wipe the sweat off their hands 24/7 just play it nonchalantly and you’ll have fun
Expertise ruined DZ abit 😞
not terrible
i would highly recommend checking this out
I mean its whatever terrible players with high expertise are still terrible players still beatable if you have no shd
Hi I'm working on building a FI healer build. I'm going 1 for 1 off the build FI Y6 S2 build on here, but was wondering how to check my repair speed peed in my stats, and could use some help
The only thing I'm missing Is a lefty, but I can get an ACS-12 and slap sledgehammer on it
3 Stats into Skill Haste the rest Skill repair to keep it simple.
Ok, so work for only 3 attributes to be haste, then spam everything I can, including mods, to repair?
ye
Ok, ty
why 3 and not 2 or 4?
main focus is on the other attributes being repair
3 is just the left over amount of attributes after you get your give to a point where it heals a full red player in 2 give charges
Best tank build? For any content
wellif I have no blue cores I'm like a full red player right. So I should aim to heal myself in 2 hive charges and stop there
I have no pieces right now and wanna farm just don’t know what’s good for it as this will be my 1st
a tank build should not be your first, and tank builds are not good in this game
We only use dedicated tanks in IH raid. Otherwise it's not very useful. Things needs to die faster or help support it things dying faster.
full red = all your cores are Weapon Damage
if you're just looking for a normal build for all content
generally it's recommended to do 6 red
though a 3R/3B or something works well too
if you're comfortable with it
something like this with an elmo maybe. although this is quite an old screenshot
Famas with fast hands is still a really good option
Shotgun I would change to brazen that's about it. Technician if you want another shield tier but I'd keep gunner imo
yall got any recs for pestil?
Best is HE
But the gun can work in any dps build
whats he, still learning all the armor in this game
i got an intersting one with ninja bag, true patriot and arca buz(bus)?
pretty fun using Pestilence with an 180 round magazine if you ask me XD
im just trying lot of shit rn, usign whatever i can to stop myself from abusing striker
headhunter
what kind of build do you guys run for the DZ to deal with Rogue agents
ohhh, might have to put a hunter's fury build for the new exotic smg 🤔
striker elmos
melt them before they can shoot back most times
i just die so fast lol
i run around with around 750k shield, i just play high ground and get chip dmg when theyre unaware
even when right in front of them, not an issue
what about skills? jammer pulse?
i just want to be friends in the DZ 🤣 but everyone just wants to kill me
no friends in dz, everyone dies .-.
I'd rather use something that kind of holds those rouges ||💅|| that run with tier 6 Defender Drone
i got lucky, never met any of those. especially cuz i run as a hunter duo. duo pops emp off rip once i active rogue
but i am just a solo please don't kill me 😂 😭
my one build i had. i did the kneepad exotics uh, forget the name, but it charges up when in cover?
https://youtu.be/1f3gLynh3Cc?si=fQX92QJQuiTsNyWd
sawyers, its end up being not very good
Sawyers knee pads, no explosive stagger but stay in cover without moving chargers up more weapon dmg for 10s
TWD
thanks, i just remember they were exotic knees and remember ninja knees too was like was there another exotic knees i'm forgetting in there? XD
TWD?
total weapon damage
O…
Mmm, Acosta?
is there an acosta knees too?
Yes
oh right those knees XD
assume ninja bike was the reload talent after vaulting or doing cover to cover?
whats the highest it can do on it? hero?
anything
I've ran legendary with it
Just use third empress tbh. Waveform fluctuates too much for mortar
Just use empress like @versed summit said
Don’t really want all your damage going to the drone when you’re really just trying to use mortar. Also tbh I’d use an explosive skill. Sticky or cluster seekers
Skill Efficiency is Skill Damage, Skill Haste, Skill duration and Skill health far as i can remember
Skill damage is the big one here, but haste, duration, status effects, skill health.
lol, wasn't sure about status efffects honestly but would make sense
its every yellow attribute essentially
i just kind of figured like Weapon Handling = Stability, Accuracy and reload speed. thought the skill efficiency followed the same mechanic XD
ohhh bot scam spam for a different game?
can i buy a legendary zoo wr pls
Use a 3rd empress there
Thatn skill repair, and status effects
Once you do get the btsu, swap the leftover empress pieces hanna u or yellow grupo if have
I won't accept the gift but would you like build advice instead? We could probably help you build better netiquette to keep you from getting hacked 
System Corruption, otherwise known as a "VPN", Hides your internet traffic from outside attackers trying to access your important data. Simply hold "V" to fix your computer and hide your identity for 5s. Cooldown for this ability is 20s
Oh, 15s with the plate. I hope this helps 🔥👌
Thx guys 🙌🏼
:( damn. Funs over
was like "you were having fun without us? how dare you" then saw deleted message and was like oh right that fun
Fun went by quick, like the drop of a decoy
🥷
Why is it so subjectively fitting rn this guy's display name literally has "Hide" in it and I'm talking about a decoy and post a ninja emoji
💀 enough internet for me today
you sure?
who is kuchan and why are you hiding them
They're trapped in a crate in DZ and there's rogues at every checkpoint
Mortar Supremacy 
1 agent at a time 😎
Don't let conflict players catch you with that build on
my mortar build i farmed the crap out of it and love it. just dont' play often anymore though XD
I let mine go too due to skill builds being ass tier this season
Frowned on heavily. You can sit and camp with a mortar and tier 6 hive. You can also spawn mortar too
Once you get used to the travel time you'll become a surgeon like me 🔥
Itll never happen
Enjoy it because most people dont run cav to counter it
Rn the current skill meta is glass cannon, creeping death and vile with pulse. All skill haste and status effects with skill damage. Hazpro is the only way to counter or cavalier teammate
I keep cav tucked, trust me. Has shocker punch with it too
People are starting to come up with tick builds in pvp due to pesti buff
Make a separate char for pvp
^^ I have 2, this is SOLID advice trust me
The inv expansion is for stash
You're gonna need a new char. Pvp slots differently than pve
Best to have a separate character for PvP so you're not clogging loadouts
Lots of dupe pieces
If you need that then you have other problems
Character
Right now you have 900 total inventory with 4 agents
same for div1, extra characters is just free storages xD
PvP builds tend to use unique pieces too so there's no recycling
I'm talking about your gear's Core attributes
Pvp is Armor reliant
With burst damage reliancy
If you plan your builds you'll save a lot of space . A lot of then use the same pieces
Yes. Plan them out, move pieces around. Division builds are puzzles. But never has 1 solution
If only farming a double crit ceska piece wasn’t aids
Especially when you need double crit ceska with unbreakable to roll for armor. Still that piece eludes me
Having that on an all blue crit striker using EB in dark zone would be god tier with Tenacity
Yeah
ACS-12 as the stack builder for your main one
lexington ouro
oof, just watched a streamer play striker, 1 palisade, the liquid engineer, pestilence, drone and revive hive with modifiers destroying legendary
isn't that the MO of most streamers? Put on some niche thing and then use superior skills to destroy content and claim it's amazeballs.
usually, his video was about what build to use in master difficulty coming in a week supposedly
least waht he'd use and i was impressed
Ya modifier. We do legendary without modifiers and none of those blue stuff.
It's all just understanding the game.
Modifiers can carry some very weird builds
For showcasing builds or testing I wouldn't use them though it gives the wrong impression
Speaking of, I wonder what kinds of builds content creators are going to recommend, when the next season launches.
All red striker 🤞
blue striker
That's the best case scenario tbh
I was thinking of running this Exuro set for firewall, since it increases burn damage and burn duration
plus it upgrades the fire turret into this ring of fire turret
thats what i (basically) use as Firewall (ignore that its survivalist atm lol, snagging some points for it atm) :-p
the green are the Hunters fury i mentioned.
to be honest I don't know what any of these things do just by looking at them
Set bonus (2): +15% Shotgun Damage. +15% SMG Damage
Set bonus (3): +20% Armor on Kill & +50% Health on Kill
Set bonus (4): Talent: Apex Predator
Enemies within 15m receive a debuff, amplifying your weapon damage against them by +20%.
Killing a debuffed enemy with your weapon disorients other enemies within 5m, and amplified weapon damage by 5% for 10s, stacking up to 5 times.
thats the Hunters Fury set
ah that's not bad at all
so running Scorpio/Emelines Guard im getting that +15% dmg buff (on top of the dmg buff from spec tree to slot in for both), armor on kill (and Emelines Guard gives additional armor over time) and Apex Predator causing nearby enemies to stumble about as I do even more damage
also, Apex Predator has a nice extra benefit (imho) in that it triggers an icon over enemies heads when they are in range, even through walls and such
for gadgets i use of course Strikers shield with the specialization specific items and a +dmg in the other slot (that one can be a bit trickier/grindier to get), and the other gadget i kinda bounce around a bit on, defender drone kinda being the one i sort of stick to the most as an emergency dmg reduction
key thing to keep in mind is the dmg buff from strikers shield buffs your own damage, not just other party members, hence going with more close range weapons (plus the one firewall talent that causes enemies close to you to take increased damage from team mates)
the Zero F's chest talent will instantly refill your armor upon it breaking once every 55 seconds so a really handy "oh shit" effect given you are likely to be up close and personal
Mementos is just a good backpack for most builds but for FIrewall the Skill Tier is doubly useful in that it counts towards your shield strength (so 2 blue cores from zero F and backpack and 1 skill core from backpack, I swapped out the red core from hunter mask for skill core to get 2 yellow cores)
oh and of course Mementos also gives a decent chunk of armor (same with Zero F's)
oh does the backpack have 3 core atributes?
yep
the easiest way (as far as im aware) is setting Targetted Loot for Countdown/Summit to Backpack and pray to RNGJesus :-p
i mean running any missions/areas where Backpack is targetted loot it can also have a slightly better chance to drop
oh it drops from summit? I have a project for that
it can technically drop from anywhere, but if the content is Backpack targetted it then has an increased chance
just be sure to set targetted to Backpack first 🙂
how often does the targeted loot refresh? I don't have any backpack targets anywhere
yeah, Countdown is faster BUT if you need to do Summit anyways....cant hurt to increase your odds hehe
also true hehe
with Summit/Countdown you actually set the targetted loot
all the other stuff resets every 24 hours (i think?)
oh ok that's cool
i agree...but can also get em via Summit weekly/Priority objective (one of those "if you line it up") as an alternative to mindless grinding Countdown hehe
I don't see countdown anywhere I'm not sure I have it unlocked
it SHOULD be in the open world map, over on the right side near Summit/Descent
its been ages so i dont really remember what the requirements or whatnot are to unlock Countdown lol
yeah no
oh
hover over it and there should be a mention of "hold [button] to open Countdown menu"
set it to Challenging and enter matchmaking (again..just be sure to set targetted loot to Backpack first hehe)
be sure to stick with the group and beware the Hunters
There is a decent named backpack that i use as like a "backup" if I need to swap out my exotic armor item to something else (like Ridgeways for bleed or whatever) but I would need to get back to my stash to get the name. I think its [something Go Bag]
does the difficulty need to be challenging to get exotics?
no but generally speaking most people run Countdown on Challenging or Heroic
ah
the higher difficulty increases chances at better loot (can get exotics at like hard) but also the likelyhood of actually getting a party at Hard or lower with Countdown is slim
yep, and set it for Backpack to "double dip" potentially 🙂 increase your chances overall
well caches don't care about your targeted loot, it's just an extra exotic source
do you get these keys the same way you get all the other keys or?
no, it's within the 3 floors you've been through, hidden somewhere
i mean true but while they are working to get that exotic cache they can also increase the chances at getting Mementos itself via targetted loot
i know, but that is not "double dipping"
shrug increasing backpack chance (for exotic backpack) while working to get exotic cache (for exotic backpack) imho is two chances at getting it hence "double dipping"
i suppose technicallity/phrasing choice
double dipping means something different
like one proper example of its usage is saying "dta double-dips your negotiator's dilemma spread damage"
because dta increases two things at the same time
here, targeted loot only affects the drop chance, not exotic chance to drop what you want from exotic caches*
yeah...getting into semantics here....not really seeing a reason to debate it further :-p
i clarify because i don't know if you also thought TL also affects the cache drops, beyond the semantics issue, but it's a relevant issue nonetheless
i know TL doesnt affect caches 🙂 but increasing chance of item category dropping (and thus exotic version of said item) while also working to get a cache that can potentially drop item (versus say doing the same project with targetted item as something else) is increasing the overall chance of one way or the other getting the item
we both agree on that, i just disagree on the use of the word "double-dipping" is all
it's widely used to mean something different, so i comment on that
shrug to each their own and whatnot...prolly safe to say gone well beyond the channel so 'nuff said 🙂
fixed my original message :-p
it's just fyi, but discussions like this happen often in this channel anyway
i don't really mean ill, just wanted to inform you on that alone
👀
I got the go-bag you were talking about
not what I was going for but damn this thing is nice too
acosta is worth having, it's strong on certain builds
well thanks for reminding me to check out the other backpack hehe
yeah seems rly good, it also came with already high skill atributes
and i was wrong on the name guess :-p
The Setup named backpack is what i was referring to (named Uzina Getica backpack)
cause enemies you hit take 15% more dmg and it has blue core and increases armor
oh right, and the dmg buff only comes from marksman rifles or shotguns and since shotguns are getting buffed via Hunters Fury
there could quite possibly be other named backpacks that could work/be better but the YT video I found the build from a while back suggested The Setup and since i got my Mementos I really only ever swap it off for the rare moment i need certain effects (best example again is Ridgeways for bleed effect for certain global events or whatever)
what do you guys think would be better for a firewall build though? more survivability or more damage
i mean to use the spec-specific gadget and talents, which generally are more close range related id say a mixture of the two
cause of course dead enemies means no damage against you lol
but also since you are generally looking at trying to be medium/close range, gotta be able to at least take some hits without going down
as someone who for a while was going for like a tank build and used most, if not all, of the foundry set....going for high survivability works but also means it takes FOREVER to get through fights....and at higher difficulties can actually lead to getting overwhelmed (if running solo)
relatively hard to kill....but hit like a wet newspaper
I've gotten two chameleons from the two exotic caches I got today 😭
i mean if one of them has damage to target out of cover would certainly say a decent weapon to use
it's actually a decent weapon.
otherwise can always scrap for exotic component (gunna need those for expertise) or use to get expertise xp
it's not a "best" weapon, but it kills things just fine
but yeah, it will certainly work
yeah I like it a lot but I don't want 3 of them 🙃 , sadly none of them have target out of cover damage
be sure to talk to the lady in the crafting area (Inora? brainfarting on the name) to get the schematic for the weapon
already did
good, then you can scrap 2 of the 3, and reconfigure the remaining one, aiming for taret out of cover for the 3rd stat
Chameleon is kinda what you'd use if you wanted an SMG that uses AR bonuses and ammo
lol yep
might be a good secondary for a hunter's fury close range build if you're using a non-exotic SMG as a primary. Run out of ammo for your SMG, pull out your other SMG that uses AR ammo
could certainly work n odoubt
though could also go with The Mop/Chameleon
wont get the SMG dmg bonus but will get shottie bonus and armor on kill
not super familiar with other named shotguns
Well there's Scorpio, then there's the rest in a big pile on the floor.
lol yeah, Scorpio is the best for HF set :-p
The thing about HF, is that you need to play within its very limited range in order to be effective. This does limit your options quite a lot.
IIRC Shotguns are best used along with it, when you have more of a focus on HSD (headshot damage) rather than crit stats. So a Shotgun in general with crit HF is less nice than something else. Scorpio being the exception, since it's so overtuned as to be basically a good MMR (sniper).
tl;dr Exotics probably aren't your best choice in most builds, unless they're filling a niche.
Your other option for HF (best used at Challenging, but can work on Heroic if you really need to) is an SMG for your main, and something with some range, for those times you absolutely can not get within the buff range. I've found a Rifle works best for those times, something that kills fast and is precise.
what does HF mean?
Hunters Fury
~~have friends, it's a great way to play. ~~
yep, i can agree on that for sure
hence why i swap between Emelines and Bakers Dozen depending on the area im heading into
Baker's is good if you are still learning div2's weird aiming system, but if you're going for crit on the SMG, there's non-named options which work better.
Boomerang being a good all-rounder, works on a lot of setups, etc.
what i have also used is a G36 AR with the armor regen buff and Lady Death or Chatterbox
i like Emelines mostly cause SMG for the dmg buff from HR and armor regen as i rush through enemies in close range. Totally works for Challenge, can certainly be handy in Heroic if armor is dropping, I dont really touch Legendary so nuff said there lol
Oh P.Preservation, yeah I guess if you need more healing than HF gives you.
I use Scorpio for enemies with heavy armor (chungos and named) to both punch through armor and get the stun/dot and then Emeline on "trash"
again...im sure for like pure dmg potential and such much better options
It was only buffed fairly recently, but Killer was crazy buffed a while back, especially the DZ locked Dark Winter.
It's to the point where it's sort of the new Ouro.
yeah, since Emelines is basically Armor over Time and HF is straight up armor they kinda wind up working together if im in the thick of it
How many yellow or blue cores do you have on your build?
2 and 2
Just to make sure you know, yellow and blue cores both give shield tiers, so if you don't need the yellows for something else, your overall armour gained from the talents will be higher with more blues.
Try working towards a 3+3 (blue and red), assuming you aren't just using Memento of course.
4 HF, Zero F's, Mementos
That is a lot of healing.
swapped HF mask to yellow core for shield and also to buff 2nd gadget (still kinda bouncing around on that one but defender drone for quick dmg reduction is my "main")
i stomp through Challenging, generally do alright with Heroic (havent really tried it without Season effects active lol)
Okay go with me on this one, but just for a while, I think you should give a more damage focused HF a go.
You've got the bones in place already, just swap the chest to a ceska w/obliterate, the gun to something with a damge talent (Killer is really nice right now), and either the Firewall or Crusader shield, Firewall being overall better, but Crusader being good if you want the Armour on Kill from Gunner, or something else.
hmm....whats ceska buff?
mostly ask cause Zero F's buffs shotgun dmg by 10%
and ceska requires crit hit to boost weapon dmg
Item specific weapon damage buffs aren't actually the full % that they claim, they work based off the gun damage before buffs are applied.
So on a full red build, 10% shotgun damage would only be about 2-3%.
ahh
Yeah div2 is really tricky with the math stuff.
After a while, div2 kinda becomes a case of; "challenging is Normal difficulty", and the way you get there is by basically being more efficient at doing things. It can be hard to break habits, but knowing enemy placements, how the AI will react, how to use cover effectively, things like that, will make you way quicker at completing everything, and you'll be able to sprint through Heroic with the right build+knowhow+practice.
yep can totes understand that lol
going from my Foundry build to my HF build, and actually running Challenging content and getting through it in decent times changed it all up
Heroic i mostly just avoid cause I hate the "make a whoopsie and start over at the beginning" :-p
for me...rather stick with Challenging and while getting a lil less reward, dont have to worry about getting distracted or whatever and losing it all 🙂
that said...in terms of SMG, is there a better/preferred option to go for in regards to using Killer talent?
I mean, the Talent depends on you, Killer is just really good right now for its damage, but something like Strained is nice and has been for a while.
even Fast Hands isn't terrible, since it increases your up-time, which does boost your overall DPS.
oh sorry, i meant in terms of SMG itself
Oh and if you're using Technician and an SMG that can have the tech spec laser, Flatline is really nice.
SMG as Firewall to be specific
cause i know there are like certain AR's that seem to be BiS so to speak
Div2 is a little more broad, but there are definitely "better" ones, so the SMG matters less than the Talent, but last I checked (and I'm sure someone will have something to say if I'm out of date), the CMMG Banshee, MPX are both quite good.
Basically, just take it slow and let yourself build up to the next Difficulty, Heroic is a jump-up, but it's doable with patience.
will have to check out those items, though at least for me Heroic is more a "stick with Challenging for lil less reward but guaranteed completion versus small improvement and make a goof and lose it" aspect 🙂
cause as someone over 1k SHD and Expertise 16 (for like comparison sake or whatever) i kinda struggle to see the reasoning to do Heroic over Challenging when it generally seems like the only difference is like an additional 100k xp. I mean looking at Roosevelt island, its 458k versus 366k xp and bosses drop the same amount of loot
while im also adding in increased dmg, armor and veterancy of enemies PLUS removing the aspect of respawning if i should goof shrug
If you could complete X activity on Heroic within the same amount of time as you do on Challenging, the extra XP is a win
oh yeah, in that aspect i totally agree
that should do some good work, make sure you fill those mod slots 
nice thing about this current setup, it can fill a couple different skill roles with some minor changes.
-current form for mortar,
-add waveform, replace china bag with empress tech support for turret/drone
-replace china w/ empress tech support bag, yellow skill damage contractor's, yellow skill damage fox's and you have a servicable oxi setup
got back on the game recently after years and copied the striker build from the spreadsheet, feel like I am doing less dmg than iI should, anything major I am missing or I am just missing stats from stuff like expertise and shd lvl
Expertise is a thing you'll get in the meantime.
Ceska chest should be all red, no blue atts.
Your SHD level is still low, so as you level up you're gonna deal more DMG. 10% on all Defense, Offense, Skill and Misc.
missing a good amount of crit damage, some of that can be attributed to your watch tho. chance looks decent for running coyote. you running any hsd or handling rolls? if so it needs to be shifted to crit
fill chc on watch first, makes all builds easier to balance chc/chd
get your team to shoot svd at your shield
Teammates bullets deflect?
yea
That's hilarious
probably
For general healing purposes like Countdown and stuff, what's a better weapon choice between Scorpio or Dr. Home? I know Scorpio used to be a good option pre-nerf
Thanks
bro that screen proportion 🤣
If I were to be a new player with basic gear. What would be the best build to clean up mobs with… ie clearing story missions
pick your fav weapon and just play using drone tourette
pick gear with skill tier and let the drone turrette doing the job
I recommend you use Kendra's Freedom Exotic Pistol.
So.. place turret and sit behind cover… ok
Story mode is just run and shoot stuff, you should never need to farm/plan builds for it.
Just keep putting on new gear and it should be fine.
Sounds like a great idea. Loved my little sniper turret buddy anyway
Better than cough my teammates. It actually hits its target 50% of the time
Some1 know how to Farm this Gloves?
Countdown + target loot Petrov. Generally if you want a named item that's not DZ restricted just target loot the brand.
I Farm it at Countdown after 5h No Drop lol
RNG hates you 😭
What is RNG?😅
I am from germany my english is not the Bast🥲😅
Random Number Generator
Ahhh thanks
Gloves as TL or petrov?
Named with 8% dmg to armor
Well you pick what you want as targeted loot while farming countdown, so what are you targeting?
His first language is German
Your first language is English.
Still not fluent
Patrov is my Target loot
Sounds like bad luck then. That glove isn't gonna make or break a build so maybe farm something else?
Is it a random drop?
Yeah, it's not locked to anything really.
Only Bad luck
True Story: items only drop when you don't need them any more
@magic pilot Can you edit the spread sheet? Iron lung source needs updated.
Sooo I got my hunters fury build together and now I wanna reroll the stats on it. The thing here that I actually don’t understand is if I rerolled one stat I can't reroll on the others anymore. Is it limited to one stat or am I stupid
You can only recalibrate one attribute/talent/core attribute.
The attributes or talents extracted in your Library have infinite uses.
Ahh ok so I have to be lucky to get like 2/3 max stat so I can change the third on it if needed
Rerolling is meant for exotics, as you need exo components and other materials.
Max rolls are a lot more rare than exotics themselves. Don't look for a perfect roll, they just pop when they want.
Alright so get your build and then just play the game and the min maxing happens in the process I guess
Just needs to be close to max, optimization is not too bad if it's just one or two steps. You also get pro-rated costs for partial steps so if it's almost max the optimization is very cheap.
Sure, what needs to be changed?
Shouldn't it say, "TL and exotic caches"
Iron lung is a more recent one and I don't think it's cache locked until the BP is obtained but I'm not 100% sure.
I asked in ikia discord as well so I'll double check the page once I get a response
TY bb
Updated
I could kiss you.
Okay i need some advice, I'm working on a mantis build it preforms really good and fits my play style. The set im running are 2 hotshot , 2 ace (both for headshot %), a sacrifice for perfect glass cannon, and a ninjabag to hit the 3 piece for the gear sets. I'm at 300% headshot and I'm 1 tapping pretty much everyone. The build isn't optimized and I'm only expertise 4. I want to improve the build any advice?
I am on pc so that is another thing to put in mind as well since the console and pc space are 2 different territories
Is that for PvP or PvE?
Pvp
use focus instead
the build i use on my mantis is
ninjabike
perfect focus
1pc habsburg
contractors
1pc breaking point
1pc hotshot
with like 2-3 armor cores including ninja
i don’t remember if it’s 2 or 3 so it’s one of those
does like 2.2m with very little focus charge
and without having to use glass
Yeah cause needing to stand still for a min to get the straight shot is really god damn annoying
It's gotten me killed a couple times
I'm pretty sure you can 1 tap most builds without focus or glass now
I'll have to do some mmr testing
Yea but ideally you wouldn't use it
I can make it work, it's a steep learning curve but from what I've been seeing it's very effective. Plus since I'm rocking the Lexington as my secondary to finish targets off if they are pushing me I'm still utilizing the perk
Doesn't sound like it works but I've gotten in a few encounters today to where that Lexington really did it's thing
I think you are missing my point
If you could run unbreakable over sacrifice and still one tap that would be significantly better, no 60% incoming dmg and no charging scope time
And you gain a fall back
Ill test it with the same brand set with unbreakable
are these good stats? i feel like im doing too low of dmg if im not aiming for head constantly?
I'm just very anal on that 1 tap, ill just grab that same chest piece with headshot and ill try that ill still be at my 300% anyhow
I'm gonna do some testing as well with different setups, are you expertise 27 on mantis?
Gotta work on my expertise I'm only 4 rn I'm fixing to make mules tonight
But with the setup I have no it works flawlessly. I'll snip a screenshot when I get home later
2 piece hotshot, 2 piece ace, ninjabag
And the sacrifice ofc but that same brand is what ill grab
I'll probably test it at 27, just because that's the highest chance it'll work without glass/focus
you CHC looks pretty low
@merry basalt I checked out your build and that headshot damage is absolutely wild. That build must shred.
Yeah I'm prob going to try it out with unbreakable instead of glass cannon
Same chest brand
For a drone build would use hardwire or rigger ?
Yall recommend sttandard red dps starting out
Red DPS is all i ever really run.
Striker/negotatiors is all red and i melt usually everything with it.
Just get high CHC / CHD and ur good
Any DPS weapon base damage build it’s always CHC to 50-60% (depending on coyote’s mainly) then the rest into CHD.
For PvP yes, pve no
ah ok thank you, new exotic I haven't seen
getting back into playing after like years
Yea it's good to counter shock that's about it
is possible to have a really tanky LMG build?
Yes but it won't do a lot of dmg
if you love the elmo so maybe? go around bashing people and watching them get shocked
based around the spreadsheet suggestions?
I would yea. I based mine off of it vaguely and tweaked to my likings.
it would be better starting with striker dps.
a lot easier to build, highend red is good, but its kinda outclassed by other options at this point.
seems I need a coyote mask and I can not find one to drop
Jefferson Trade Center
Just spam it till you get it. I did it like 3 times in a row and it dropped.
what difficulty
i do everything on Heroic
Heroic for the best drop rate 
I'm not strong enought for that 😦
It’s abit lower than heroic. Idk how much tho.
Jeffreson Plaza?
Trade Center is the one with Coyote iirc
Challenging is still good to drop exos. Can bang out a mission abit faster and do more runs overall
what is exos
makes sense. Want to run one with me? lol
Was gonna say Exotics but I didnt wanna mispeak and it be something different lol
Ill run
True. Aberrations is different for its meanings to anyone
@latent cometsent you a dm
Gimmie just a min. Cleaning my inv
For sure.
I got him that exotic first try and it was in the first part of the mission too lmao. I did good.
better off farming mask target loot. that way the drop rate is actually affected by difficulty and directives if avail.
jtc is one 5% chance from the end boss iirc. if it was mask target today it would work better...
countdown still ideal because selectable target loot and chance from exotic caches.
welp, scratch that
I actually got it legit first try.
Im like nah no way lmao
🍻 all good
and it was right there for him
you must be making them Lootcifer sacrifices like clockwork
🔥 😈 🔥
I also got another exotic in the same mission my luck was great lmao
i kinda get a lot in missions as well, usually sawyers knee or sweet dreams , all good components
I always get Sweet Dreams
Immediately deconstruct it lmao
glad it all worked out. im happy to be wrong when something positive happens
Sweet Dreams is great for melee kill challenges during events
Yea I have one in the stash so if I wanna do that its perfect for.
For sure glad it did too.
so it dropped before you even killed Coyote?
Yes
bloody hell
First part of the mission. Never had that happen. DIdnt even know it could tbh.
that's it, you used up your whole year's worth of luck for this guy
Honestly I'm pretty lucky in this game.
nothing but Sacrum Imperium in those caches for you forever
im still farming damn waveforms. ive had a ton and just kept one. now that there was some rebalancing i need 3 more for my alts.. imp dynasty my normal drop when targetting holsters XD
My bro always get pissed when I get exotics.
Those are awful omg
there is a talent giving armor when he open a shield
And another talent would be leadership
There's a few talents that do this.
Tardigrade can also give armor but it doesn't feel like it's that
Check out the spreadsheet from the Pinned Messages up on the top right 📌
🤢 TP.... Plz never made this. Use the Chest is fine but the rest is very underwhelming. Theer are ways to give more armor and buff the team.
Hello, just started playing div2 again after a couple of months of break. Is the new tip of the spear set bonuses a bit of a nerf? It feels a bit weaker now ://
way nerfed. not worth building atm
most of the mmr builds have moved to hotshot gearset
Anyone know if refactor will be worth building for?
and aces, right?
Aww man, I loved using it because I have the excuse of using the Tac-50 and its sweet ass sfx. I'll build a hotshot then. Thank you
Aces also got overpowered by Hot Shot
It's more reliable, got more sustain and allow free reload
I remember that aces got a buff but idk if it got reverted or sum
Using Determined (which is broken), you can body headshot
Aces got rifles, thats it
ig I was thinking of something else
yeah youll like hotshot for sure. m700 carbon, sr-1, whitedeath, model 700 all do great damage. its worth getting stability mods on the weapon and some handling rolls on the gear. if you can get to 100% stability your scope wont sway when you ads
i thought you lost headhunter , but determined would still reproc after the death animation
yeah
Im new to all tinkering. When i remove for ex armor and want to transfer to another gear, the same amount of armor is transferred ?
Ez ❤️
If you extract 170k Armor from a chestpiece (max attribute), you'll be able to recalibrate that max att to other chestpieces. These extracted attributes/talents/core attributes have infinite uses*.
you transfert the highest attribute extracted into the library
you can then transfert from library that attribute to which ever piece of gear allowed
there is max roll on each attribute
hence the need to extract all the highest amounts and building up your library after hitting 40
extracting the attributes and talents
think weapon damage = 15%? or something of that sort?
And can u change everything on 1 piece of gear? Attribute, core and talent ?
all attributes have different values i believe
best method is getting max core and 1 max attribute of choice so you can change that 1 that's not maxed to whatever you need on yrou gear
considering you can only recalibrate one thing on weapon/gear
you can only recalibrate one thing, but for endless amount. like, if u change the attribute for instance, the re calibration will be locked for the attribute on that item, so you can change the attribute endless times but only the attribute from now on, (with that item)
maximizing a lower attribute can get expensive with materials
and no you can't maximize a stat and then turn around and pull it off and putting it in your library. least i don't think it's a possibility
depend on the attribute, know that a max roll is displayed on a gear with a strip passing on the gears corresponding attribute
On the spreedsheet, you should find what's the max attribute roll
Look at the attribute Range
@cerulean smelt what do u mean can get expensive? once u get max attribute then u transfer it and ur done . What am I missing
@placid latch ill check it out thx
to make say a 10% weapon damage to reach 15% max attribute takes resources and ecredits
even tranfering takes resources and ecredits to pull out from your library on your gear and weapons
Ah right so every transfer cost somtin
yes
gear wise i think they even go as far as requiring specific materials from each faction
Damn theree a lot to know in this game
I may need to quit my job to focus on this
eh not really, but there are things to note for certain stuff. once you learn them you'll realized how easy it is
I suppose just takes time getting used to
just a little time (> <)
Thx to all who responded
nods just keep asking questions. someone out there knowledgable about your question will answer hopefully and hopefully make it a bit more understandable
hallelujah
I don't see this in the patch notes, am I blind?
Oh the reload speed?
Looks like they all had decreases
I couldn’t stand to use the Six12 anymore because of the reload speed now
Which I don't see in the patch notes.
if they did it's not in the patch notes
nothing about it’s in game performance
but I mean bravo if they actually did it
Best stealth buff if so.
I guess there’s always a few stealth changes that happen every season
Oh def, idk why they wouldn't shove this in peoples faces tho.
Someone lied.
This is the level 40 items dropping on level 1-39.
Helldivers does that a lot
Yeah I only got 2
Dunno if this belongs here, but:
ATTN: yaahl mask at clan vendor for those yaahl gear materials
Show them your 3 lexes to all the players who accidentally dismantled their one lexington
or the people who just ddidnt get it even tho they shouldve
flexing on people who didn't get one
It was a bug
so just curious, we were DZ farming last night and we got rolled up on by a group using all brandset pieces and bighorns and got absolutely shredded (including my friend who had probably around 3.4 mil armor with bonus armor)
What build did they use? i know its not much to go on but i figure the DZ pvp meta hasnt changed too much where theres a new meta build every week
Thanks in advance
Also i realize not a lot of info to go on but any help is appreciated
"bighorn is useful" is a wild statement, imagine reading that a few years ago.
It's up there with "backfire is good now, and people agree with me".
backfire getting redeemed I don't think was on anybody's bingo list
Oh it was always in my heart.
I swear the devs read my replies here, since they buffed the Dark Winter along with it. There's no way that's a coincidence.
maybe sacrum has some hope
My next vote is Dread Edict. I assume that's still awful.
It's listed in the pvp guide
Pinned google sheet
I must have missed it...is it under the basics section link?
Yep, I added it more recently so that could be why
dread actually has a really good amount of potential
gotcha, thankyou 🙂
in theory does crazy dps but entirely reliant on headshotspamming which isn't realistic
quick question and thanks in advance; whats the advantage of running 4 piece eclipse protocol for indirect transmission (10m status effect effect radius + 50% duration) when you can essentially get the same effect on courier with perfect creeping death (10m status effect radius)
Eclipse refreshes the duration
For non-dmg skills you run eclipse and creeping
Btw whilst you're here, the order of tabs is a little wonky.
Which part? Can you send me a pic
Roger 
eclipse spreads on death and the duration refreshes
and yeah like prod said you can run both
ah ok thanks guys, what would you run in the attribute slot: status effect dmg, skill dmg, haste, etc.?
status effects on everything
got it
haste mods and second attributes
and keep backpack slot free for creeping?
if youre running the crowd control variant then yes
courier + electrique + 4 ep including chest
on fire it's with chest and bag with vile and electrique
you can run glass cannon for better tick damage but I find the ep chest more useful
yeah ive got iron lung to proc fire status
ideally you wanna be proccing with a firestarter chem or fire sticky
the fire from iron lung isn't that strong
ah ok
would carnage with perfect sadist be better
but in that case i would need trauma to apply bleed
nah bleed is a garbo status effect most of the time
the main ones for eclipse are foam, jammer and fire
crowd control runs the first two and fire runs just that
my intent for an EP build was mainly to proc the grudge and boost others with that 21% crit chance + dmg, less so pure dps output
nah using ep for the grudge is a big waste
yeah right
its probs best on a dps build as a support accessory
mhm
There is 2 setups, checked the pinned guide it has them both. With images from in game
so with the change to lexington whats gonna be the BiS for ARs?
Lex
still lex even after the damage nerf?
It's such a tiny nerf.
sweet glad they upgraded everyones lex to level 40 then
It just makes the famas and f2000 very close
Yeah hitting your shots is more important at this point for real world DPS.
LOL definitely not concerning (me who sits at an average 37% accuracy with ARs)
👀
37 percent is diabolical
yea its bad, i have nerve damage in my right arm from a surgery a few years ago so my right hand jitters and shakes 24/7 😂
makes dueling in the DZ VERY hard
ah that makes more sense
anyways thanks for the advice gonna go replace my ARs with lex now
Updated to current pts notes (besides reload speed)
thankyou, just bookmarked it 🙂 Very surprising how close everything is now.....except bighorn lol
Mini gun :3
Yea ARs are balanced surprisingly well
this guy knows how to spreadsheet. very nice
Well we play the game via spreadsheet
Every now and then I get accurate data
Damnit.. I have to reupdated the not updated data sheet.... God Damnit...
It's all just work, sadge
Hey it's updated rn!
So I'm doing up a DPS build, amd I want to make sure I have it right. I have 3 pieces of providence, coyote's mask, fox's prayer, amd a fenris group backpack. I'm using a lexington, and a bullet king. My CHC is 60% amd my CHD is 108.8%
looks like you're missing a piece. i only count 5 there
Oops ill fix that
you got contractor's gloves or 1 piece grupo?
what i run with minus the coyotes. basically what you have. 3 pc providence, fox's, grupo and fenris
obviously with 1k+ watch maxed out the watch
Ya, I'm at 673 on my watch, and still need to max CHD on it
Could I see ur build
what more do you need to see?
3 pc providence, fox's, grupo and fenris
So I can build it the way u have it
still confused?
if you're meaning the talents which i see is not listed?
Yeah
those are Perfect Glass Cannon and Perfect Vigilence
think the non perfect variants works too
I’m not going to run glass cannon
obliterate or unbreakable then
barf build i'd like to make has a DZ exclusive in it ugh
which one?
it will be, but meh, just use a damage brand
anyone on?
?
Looking to put a rifle build together. Planning on running sig 716. Probably coyotes, ceska bp, zwia named gloves, fox prayers, zwia holster. Still undecided on the chest though? Any advice?
Sacrifice maybe
is diamondback any good
it's a funny weapon
I would consider negotiators dilemma, you'll have solid crit and some really beefy transfer damage on crits. Ceska glass chest, foxs knee/coyote/grupo off piece.
4pc nego including bag ( 110% transfer damage on crits), plays very much like he red
Just wanted to ask and see if anyone can help because making good builds has definitely been a struggle with some of the updates screwing up older builds, so I was wondering if anyone has a good build/s that are centred around using gunner, high armour and high armour regen with decent damage output while using the ninja bike backpack, any/all weapons and maybe a little bit of extra mag size(last one is optional unless you're a genius which I bet a lot of you are)
Ninja backpack is a bit of a waste tbh
You can try memento with 4 pieces hunters fury and an intimidate chest
With gunner that's 30% AOK and you get 3 percent regen from memento max stacks
I'm a returning person and I'm needing help on a build I was running a 4 piece bulwark with a momento backpack, repair drone and bullet king having a blast, but I dunno if it's any good anymore. I've wanted to try changing up my build since I can do challenging stuff pretty easily but I want to move up to legendary, anyone have an easy to put together build that is less dependent on keeping bonus armor up all the time and maybe a little more damaging? I'll take any suggestions!
The raid one?
Being honest I was looking at youtube vids and almost all of the builds have some revolver named the Regulus, is that a good pistol? I have the liberty and Mosquito rn
yeah, regulus is solid. you would be looking at hunters fury with headhunter chest for a pistol headshot build
I'm just looking for something to get to floor 100 to get my 2 hunters for Ridgeway's pride and farming it on something other than challenging
you don't need regulus for that
i know, but it looked fun for a bullwark build
just look for striker, and just avoid YouTube if you can help it
well if you want to do damage you're not using bulwark ever
looking at the images of the striker build can you tell me what this exotic is?
ouroboros, from paradise lost incursion
ah
you also don't need that either
everything you need for legendary is farmable outside of those exclusive activities
well looking at the recommended exotics, I don't have any of the exotics, best i have is the Chameleion
most highend options are equal to or better then solid exo options
might need imperial dynasty tho 
they are nice to have, but you don't need any of them
Apologies then, I'm not trying to be meta, I just want to get the most out of the game. I haven't been on in a year or so
you're good, i just want to drive home the point of no exotics being necessary to do any content in the game
and also avoid youtube 
check through the pinned spreadsheet in this channel. youll find a lot of different builds, and itll give you a good idea what to go for. then just pick brains to fine tune it if you need more direction
I've been mostly a solo player reliant on the safety of armor cores and the momento backpack >.<
striker/ heartbreaker both solid dps options
memento can slot into a lot of builds if its something youre pretty comfortable using
my friend has been using pestilence with the set that gives special ammo and reloads your gun on a status effected enemy kill and basically was solo clearing most content while i just sat there as he hogged the golden bullet kills haha, I wanted to try to find something to either support or out dps him. it's why I was trying to find the way to farm the nemesis sniper rifle since I know with red cores it'd be a glass cannon
Going into it, I was either gonna be a dmg core or skill build
okay, one question: are you serious about doing legendary?
I am, I hate missing out on the exotic Caches from the legendary missions that even my friend and i can't do together
Plus I want to be able to do incursions or raids
you can also farm exotics with the priority missions
follow the striker guide and make yourself one
farming the summit it is then
Sorry for being a bother, but thank you so much for the help!
no worries
oh neat, just got St elmo's engine from an exotic cache.
you can definitely use that one
Should I recalibrate this base roll on St Elmo?
Guide says CHC and CHD but idk if i can roll it on an exotic
Naw
Nah it's perfect
always dttoc on weapons
besides lmgs
they get crit chance
Looks like were gunna see some random builds for this expertise boost event
CHD and CHC are meant for body gear.
ah
Is OD good solo? I’m running all red 4pc OD w/ wicked ceska and coyotes but I’m kinda struggling with survivability
I’ve been thinking maybe using memento + ceska mask or something and roll couple of armor cores onto the build instead for solo play
Yes it's good solo, and the changes you suggest would work, although you could instead treat it as an opportunity to learn how to better mitigate incoming damage through positioning, cover use and battlefield awareness.
Yeah that’s a good point but it’s been a struggle lol
Can someone share their healer build for PvP?
Any Thoughts ?
Anyone know if incoming repairs buffs the refactor heal
for pvp or pve
Pvp
not bad, dont see system corruption run a lot but doesnt seem to bad
would run it more blue cores imo
Its mean Catharsis replace coyote ?
I think my chc is 36.5% and Chd is 124.8%
If use coyote
Im try get Chc and CHD Matador instead
Status effect and Skill haste
as a SC user, I will say: don't rely on 1% regen while using SC, it's just too low regardless of your armor amount. instead, use a gear brand related to your current weapon to compensate from the non damage bonuses from SC.
like fenris for ARs.
Matador, or any BP with Adrenaline Rush, or anything else to give you another source of Bonus armor would help you a lot.
Relying solely on the SC quickkit with the cooldown, reduces the effectiveness of the main damage perk on the set.
Absolutely matador or memento, Syscor bp is good too
Catharsis good, same as everyday carrier
It also depends on if crit or headshot
Ceska good for crit, contractors or fenris good for hsd
sys cor chest ☹️
I dont like it, reduced SC cooldown should be a buff given by the devs, because intimidate and unbreakable are kinda unreplaceable to have just a 5s reduction on cooldown.
Wack
