Measured got a buff so it's competitive currently.

#

Challenge accepted, lol. I'm pretty happy with my SB, I need mats and mods to finish maxing out the roles.

I just started match making for Heroics and held my own. But then died like 4/5 times on a CP4 div2thumbsdown

What's a good tertiary for capacitor? DToC? Accuracy for more shots landed?

I've asked but I wouldn't hold my breath.

civic turret
#

Things get out of hand or something?

cunning arrow
#

Any recommendation for a Scanner build ?

vestal ibex
onyx sage
civic turret
hexed steppe
red island
cunning arrow
#

Like scaned enemies take more dmg or something

patent fossil
#

only if you're overcharged when you pulse

cunning arrow
#

Ooh

patent fossil
#

or running spotter/flatline, in which case just use tech laser like localdeck said

red island
#

pulse isnt like in div 1

onyx sage
#

you could also look into heartbreaker which is based around dealing damage to pulsed enemies, but that's the set giving that bonus rather than the pulse, and optimally you don't even use the scanner pulse

cunning arrow
#

the only reason i use scanner is because all the drone ones slow af or the enemy dodge them, turret one bad postion and its useless,chem launcher no dmg, firefly sometimes it just doesnt wanna blow up the enemys

red island
#

especially oxy or foam

cunning arrow
#

guess i'll go with foam

cunning arrow
red island
#

ran out of what ?

#

im talking about a build making it strong

cunning arrow
#

but im all ears

red island
#

check the oxy build in spreadsheet

#

or the foam build with eclipse protocol

cunning arrow

# cunning arrow im lost

hub tab, the builds are ordered by type (red/yellow/blue/hybrids), to the right of the build name is a link that takes you to the build guide - mostly Evernote

#

'Oxy chem build' is the one you want

cunning arrow
#

ooh okay found it ty

Hey is anyone running a striker build?

onyx sage
#

no

solar sable
#

atp who doesn't

grand crypt
#

I'm trying to build mine that's why I asked. I'm trying to get a baseline

Brazen or Optimist for Shotguns for PvP?

Yea I dont have coyote so im running memento

#

and I wanna get elmo too

fresh fox
subtle bluff
glad pilot
# grand crypt Thanks

The coyote is meh, use a fenris/sokolov (ar/smg) chest piece, and ceska mask (if ar) and grupo mask (if smg). In group play coyote means even less.

versed summit
#

L take

#

Coyote is very strong

glad pilot
#

Nah u

versed summit
#

As long as you’re playing in the correct range it’s the highest damage option, and if you use your weapons to take advantage of the different range buffs, it’s even better.

glad pilot
#

Or just be consistent and dont care anout that stuff and use a high end

grand crypt
glad pilot
#

Nothings wrong

grand crypt
glad pilot
#

I just prefer consistency

versed summit
#

Nothing wrong with that

#

It’s definitely not meh tho lol

Other than that idk

Trying to figure out why they’re playing on normal. That’s the first time during the XP event I haven’t gained any levels from taking a CP. And unlike the previous guy these ones all have decent builds

trying to figure out why you stuck with them petter

Oh I left as soon as we finished lol

#

Hello, anyone know a good website or source for builds?
I reached 40 and I'm keeping most of my loot and will start tinkering and extracting attributes so I can make builds.
Thanks!

peak moss
#

Just completed my first build today, the best advice I can give you is

#

Plan it out, figure out what sorts style your gameplay is, what weapon types you wanna use, then think about gear pieces and gear sets that can compliment playstyle/weapons

#

And then Write it down

strong veldt
peak moss
#

Apart from the chest piece the rest is complete and that’s from 3/4 days farming gear and extracting attributes and talents

strong veldt
#

You're losing out on very good backpack talents

solar sable
versed summit
#

ok it's not that bad

peak moss
# strong veldt Why ninja backpack?

Well it completes my stiker 4 piece bonus, gives me a 2 piece bonus in the fenris and I needa swap out the gloves for a pair of palisade one

#

Mainly a solo player so need the extra armour and health cl

#

Plus I’ve Litro jus finished it so I’m not rushing to swap it up already ygm

#

What would you recommend for back pack talents

onyx sage
#

striker backpack

solar sable
#

I have never seen such aberration

onyx sage
#

that also finishes the 4p

peak moss
#

Yeah I had the backpack with lower attributes

strong veldt
peak moss
#

Well yeah ig it gives me the damage increase per stack too

onyx sage
#

it's a big increase

peak moss
#

So ninja bike not a good backpack 😭😭

solar sable
#

it has never been good

onyx sage
#

well no

#

it's just very misunderstood

peak moss
#

Oh swear

#

Started playing again after a 2 year break got no clue what’s good n what’s not

onyx sage
#

most of the brands you get with it aren't very useful for most of what you do

solar sable
#

we've got a spreadsheet pinned here

peak moss
#

Ah I see I’ll take a look

onyx sage
#

but it does have uses

peak moss
#

Snm I’ll swap it out and farm for higher rolls on the striker bop

onyx sage
#

heck, there's even worse options

peak moss
#

Bp

#

What about assault rifles

#

I’m tryna get the st Elmo’s or eagle barer to replace the chameleon

#

Does the st Elmo’s drop from exotic caches?

solar sable
#

yes, EB doesn't

versed summit
peak moss
#

True say true say

peak moss
#

So I’ll stick to doing the raid

strong veldt
peak moss
#

Sounds good bro

#

I’ll try see if I can find a group to do it with

#

What’s the eagle gear set

#

Tbf I did pull a decently rolled Scorpio ealrier

#

Now wen I used to play had everyone telling me the bullet king was shocking to use in a build

#

Is it still the same or is there a viable lmg build?

onyx sage
#

it's a decent option

onyx sage
peak moss
#

Ooooo perfect

onyx sage
#

you could use the build you had earlier, just replacing ninjabike with striker backpack and it will work just fine

peak moss
#

Snm

#

Need to find the shd calibration blueprint now 😭😭

onyx sage
#

well striker is just the most efficient one to use with low complexity

#

you can use it with others like OD, nego

#

or high end only

peak moss
#

I just like the damage output especially wen I do most stuff in the game solo

onyx sage
#

all are viable, depends on what kind of performance you want

peak moss
#

Makes it a lot easier ygm

onyx sage
#

nothing wrong with going striker

strong veldt
#

High end builds put out alot of dmg. It's what alot of the old raiders use in raids cause there's no need for stacks, your always gonna shoot your best

onyx sage
#

we still do, especially in IH

strong veldt
# onyx sage we still do, especially in IH

That's what i was saying. Striker should only be used by new raiders cause they can farm it easily, after a few clears they should use high end and striker only in specific situations. Just my opinion tho

onyx sage
#

yeah i get you

remote gale
#

for my Strega Crit build, is Coyote's mask a better choice or should I go for Memento?

hexed steppe
#

coyote is always the stronger option. memento is great but it is weaker by comparison. its preference at end of the day

languid apex
#

best guns for this regen build?

hexed steppe
#

go with preference. there isnt gonna be any damage anyways. you cant really take advantage of the chest talent since you wont be generating bonus armor.

bleak mica
remote gale
#

ok, how can I increase the Crit Damage without reducing my Crit Chance?
currently heavily relying on equipment Attrivutes + Mods to reach the 50% chance mark, but the damage is lacking

proven merlin
remote gale
#

yes

proven merlin
#

Do you not mind the weird washed out colours?

remote gale
#

that's what screenshots look like from f12
if I use print screen, it becomes much more oversaturated.
but that's not what it looks like on my screen

silent solar
#

new meta?

remote gale
languid apex
#

take advantage of 5x xp

remote gale
#

oh, so keep leveling. understood.
Summit it is for a while then

proven merlin
silent solar
#

wanna try the refractor set, just dunno what works well with it

proven merlin
languid apex
#

what secondary do yall think would be good in this?

dreamy valve
#

That’s mainly a rifle build right?

hybrid hatch
#

Seems like almost a raid dps build

languid apex
#

just using the fox prayer knee pads for dmg out of cover

compact atlas
#

Whucha thinking on this. Mainly used for legendary runs

hybrid hatch
#

Good healer build if you change specialization and bp talent

compact atlas
#

That's a old photo. I have since changed the talent to safeguard and the specialty to the one with the cross bow can't think of the name

subtle bluff
compact atlas
#

Survivalist thank you

subtle bluff
#

Survivalist or Tech works

hybrid hatch
#

Id change to technician but thats more personal preference

subtle bluff
#

EMP nada are clutch when used at the right time with sledge

hybrid hatch
#

Esp if you’re using ut for legendary

subtle bluff
#

The best backpack would be getting the "The Setup" for the Perfectly Opportunistic buff

hybrid hatch
#

Since it’ll always be tusk

subtle bluff
#

Idk why I'm typing this all. If you search this channel for my name and FI healer there a full guide for it all here.

slender mirage
#

Do I need to have concussion grenade equipped to get the 50% damage dealt while using the Vile mask?

hybrid hatch
#

No

#

Thats just the measurement they use for damage

solar token
#

quick question fellas, i'm following one of the simpler pvp builds from the spreadsheet

#

what is meant by 15% weapon dmg/chd?

glad heart
solar token
#

can the minor attribute be weapon damage?

#

oh wait is that a named one

glad heart
#

they are probably crit hit chance and crit hit damage actually

solar token
#

that's what i thought, seems like that's what everything else is supposed to be

glad heart
#

1 piece grupo gives 8% crit chance (nerfed) this build uses an Armor core so NO weapon damage, minor are chc and chd

hexed steppe
hexed steppe
remote gale
hexed steppe
#

only when in hand, or if it says it boosts something when you swap away, like busy little bee pistol talent

slender mirage
#

Are there classified sets in division 2?

hazy steeple
#

@slender mirage Nope!

pure estuary
#

okay thanks

#

btw do u guys know how much hot shot sniper should be doing on the first shot? before stacking up

#

I only do like 5 mill per headshot without buffs. so I find it hard to stack initially cus of how overwhelmed I get without stacks

#

when I stack up also im only doing like 3X mil damage

red island
pure estuary
#

idk if thats good or not

pure estuary
#

except in open world

red island
#

there are many even in missions

#

just focus a rusher otherwise, its the same

#

they squichy af

#

or a sniper even

#

the only thing is to get the momentum started

pure estuary
#

well I think 5 mil damage is not enuf

#

for those rushers or red barsusually I need 2 shots

#

I usually use my 1886 to stack the firs ttime

red island
#

i dont do 5m and i kill a red bar easily

pure estuary
#

then I use the sniper to continue

red island
#

but if you need a hard shot to start : spec weapon

#

you dont start with a rifle

#

you always start with a sniper

pure estuary
#

im using a good M700 tactical

winter rune
#

guys is there any use for the purple chemistry gun?

pure estuary
#

with a 1886 on the other slot

#

but like usually I lose stacks when fighting a juggernaut

red island
pure estuary
#

or a robot

#

he's talking about chem shot.

red island
winter rune
pure estuary
red island
winter rune
#

yes

pure estuary
#

liek I shoot once the stacks are gone since it didnt kill him

red island
#

then your build is wrong, max stack should pop any chunga helmet

red island
winter rune
#

what is it for?

red island
#

wym ?

winter rune
#

i mean whats the use of it

red island
#

killing enemies ?

#

usually on spawn

winter rune
#

ok thanks

pure estuary
#

Do u guys know of a good 1886 hotshot setup?

#

or is that not possible? if I want to get the 1886 sniper setup I need to farm a whole new set of gear 😭

hoary sail
pure estuary
#

yeah I know

#

I saw that. I already got this setup but then I saw the 1886 setup was like complete different and I am reluctant to farm again for another build

hoary sail
pure estuary
#

idk why but the 1886 setup in the page looks like this

#

maybe because hotshot doesn't increase rifle damage

#

only mmr damagebut my 1886 is already doing decent damage with my hotshot setup

red island
#

just use a sr1 not 1886

#

rifles arent great with hotshot

pure estuary
#

I see. I was using 1886 cus the fire rate was faster

#

and I needed something for short- medium range

#

I was hoping I could go with a shield and play my build like a striker but 1 shotting them lol instead of sustained dps

subtle bluff
#

Drunk punch isn't worth for that slot.

#

Unless your using Regg more

#

Rifle can do 1headshots

#

but you need to know how to build your HH stacks

dreamy valve
#

Dodge City with Regulus, Boom! Headshot

subtle bluff
#

IDK I just run HF

pure estuary
subtle bluff
#

but I like getting in closer.

pure estuary
#

I was doing well with my 1886 already with my hotshot setup I just felt like maybe I could make it better

subtle bluff
#

Go HF

pure estuary
#

I wasn't having issues with head hunter stacks

subtle bluff
#

I mean for 4heroic or leggo

pure estuary
#

cus it would oneshot anyway after stacking up. and the dps is higher than my rifle cus it fire sos much faster

#

I still do like 5 mill per head without stacks

#

idk what is HF

subtle bluff
#

Solo again I do HF it's just safer.

#

Hunter Fury.

pure estuary
#

I already have a hunter fury build bro. I just enjoy one shotting

willow hinge
#

Does the Gaffer Tape - Damage Reduction mod on the Feed slot (small cannon) on the striker drone mean the drone takes X.X% less damage, even though it's on the Feed slot?

subtle bluff
#

All I run it HSD on my HF

pure estuary
#

the clear speed is so much faster. I need to optimise my hunter's fury build alot

#

and that needs me to farm the black tusk and hyena tactical assesments

#

I was tired of hunter fury because I can't even reach 1 mill per bullet

#

while my friend can

subtle bluff
#

My speedruns are with HH HF...

#

some of the fastest runs are with that build.

pure estuary
#

okay. I mean thats good for you but my HF build isn't that strong yet

#

it was easier for me to put together that sniper build ngl

#

I need to optimise my coyote mask and my gun

subtle bluff
#

Hotshot is easy to build.

pure estuary
#

my damage isn't alot for some reason. I get like 800k damage per bullet at max stacks

subtle bluff
#

But you have the parts to do HH HF just fine.

pure estuary
#

my friend got 1.2 mil somehow

#

I already have a HF build bro. I just like the sniper build more

subtle bluff
#

You have DTooC??

pure estuary
#

no. I dont' have DTOOC. its all crit chance or crit damage

subtle bluff
#

That's why then

pure estuary
#

im following this.

#

why do people recommend the spreadsheet if it is not optimised?

subtle bluff
#

Ya Raucey guide

pure estuary
#

wdym?

subtle bluff
#

all of your weapons should have DTooC

subtle bluff
#

Or DTooC? Damage to Target out of Cover.

pure estuary
#

it says the damage to target out of cover should be the third attribute

subtle bluff
pure estuary
#

bro im so confused. it doesnt say anywhere to go DTOOC

#

I read the whole thing already

subtle bluff
#

...................

#

It's only on your weapon stats..

red island
#

you cant have dttooc on gear except fox prayer

pure estuary
#

I see. Okay thanks.

#

if I change all my gear to DTOOC I can't get 50% crit chance lol

subtle bluff
#

What are you trying to build a Striker or a 1 HS build?

red island
#

you CANT change your gear to dttooc

pure estuary
#

idk how you get 50% chc and 100% CHD if everyone is on DTOOC

#

oops mb

red island
#

my dude plz listen

#

there only guns you can get dttooc

#

not gear

pure estuary
#

okay thanks.

subtle bluff
#

I was asking if you had it on the weapon or not.

#

IDK how we go to CHC and CHD when were taling about HS builds.

pure estuary
#

should I go intimidate or obliterate?

subtle bluff
#

STOP.. What are you building.

pure estuary
#

Hunters fury

subtle bluff
#

and asking advice for.

red island
subtle bluff
#

Ok.. What kind of HF are you trying to do?

pure estuary
#

striker build. ur the one that said HH sucks bro. and that I should go HF

red island
#

you're asking question that have no purpose

pure estuary
red island
#

no he asked the right question you just confused gear and weapon

pure estuary
subtle bluff
#

......

pure estuary
#

I didn't ask for striker. u said I should go Hunters fury build

#

after I asked about HH originally

red island
#

thats it

pure estuary
#

I got dtooc on my weapon on hh

pure estuary
red island
#

then you're fine

#

nothing to change

subtle bluff
#

Your confusing me what your asking in the end.

pure estuary
#

I wasn't asking you anything bro.

#

ur the one that told me to go HF because I was asking about my HH build

red island
#

just drop it

#

both of you

subtle bluff
#

Yeah. Go HF with HSD since you're using 1886.

red island
#

man

subtle bluff
#

IDK I thought I gave a simple answer.

red island
#

just stop

subtle bluff
#

Naw. Last one. Keep it easier.

shy willow
#

Sir get those blues off immediately

subtle bluff
#

murrr lazy

hazy steeple
#

I keep seeing that backpack brandset lately on the most random builds.
Is it bugged or something?

red island
#

idk but its scary

hazy steeple
#

15% mag size doesn't really seem all that crazy worth it.
I guess if you don't need the crit, what else are you going to use.

red island
#

i'd use a brand to get weapon damage

#

or crit damage

#

cause why wouldnt you need crit

#

or headshot damage idk, just not mag size

hazy steeple
#

The thing is, I see it a lot on Strikers setups. Wat.
Since when is more innate CHC not useful?

#

If it's just a boredom thing, sure why not.

red island
#

i guess people like the extra ammo really much

#

at least they dont use it on bk

shy willow
#

Normally if people run Zwia it's either the 2 piece or the named gloves

frozen hull
#

@hazy steeple so I got rid of that ninja backpack on my refractor build we discussed a few weeks ago .. lol yeah it’s much better with out the ninja

#

I put the Hana force multiplier on there which I already had and then I’m using the waveform holster … 4 piece refractor including the chest all skill dmg and skill haste (mostly cause I couldn’t think of a to better) and it’s really good

gloomy spruce
#

I have a variant that uses Hollow man instead of punch drunk

#

All headshot and weapon handling.

#

Total meme build

#

The 1886 Reload speed is below 2 seconds with a 9 round mag

hoary sail
urban latch
# pure estuary

There's two main ways to run HF. The crit setup mainly with smgs, and the headhunter setup with the regulus/determined magnum, shotguns, and also the 1886 is a very good option on there. That's what chow was suggesting.

subtle bluff
#

I just threw up a picture. It's not the right stuff on it too for everyone.

nimble pilot
#

Good capacitor build

gloomy spruce
leaden swift
#

should i change the chest and mask?

red island
leaden swift
#

well im not sure if pvp is worth it for me atm im lvl 75

#

im working on getting an exotic AR but i have legit no luck

red island
#

then get a grupo chest with obliterate instead, also change your glove to something with crit

#

you should aim to get 50% crit chance and everything else to crit damage

leaden swift
#

ok thank you

mellow elm
#

Is the MR set good with Dread Edict?

red island
#

not really

mellow elm
#

Ah okay, thank you.

bleak mica
#

@leaden swift Im also trying to get exotic AR you wanna farm together?

jade bane
#

how many stats(damage, armor, health) I need to solo Tidal Basin (Legendary) ?

red island
#

you'll get oneshot with that build

#

i dont think you can solo tidal bassin

#

especially not with bk striker

jade bane
#

I only get to shred Elite's armor and then I died. hahaha

red island
#

called it

jade bane
#

I build my gears around my Bullet King since that the only good exotic I have. I'm grinding for exotic but I keep getting duplicates

red island
#

oh yeah ceska

#

i always mix up the 2

red island
#

just farm better gear on countdown challenging

magic pilot
#

I did legendary solo with this

#

No expertise, not fully optimized and shd watch not max

red island
magic pilot
#

DUA

red island
#

yeah, thats def not the same

#

the 3 turret at the end of tidal bassin are way harder than dua

#

dua is a walk in a park compared to this

magic pilot
#

You would just run pfe in the last room

#

Same build throughout the whole mission till the last area

red island
#

pfe wont save you from 3 turret that obliterate you on the spot

magic pilot
#

It does actually

#

That's the main build used for it lol

#

Striker/pfe

red island
#

3 pfe is like 36% damage resistance, and our tank was almost obliterated with 4 times the armor and pfe on his build

#

and there isnt just turret, there are all the grenadiers, drone operators, chungas, etc

#

which spawn endlessly until all turrets are dead

magic pilot
#

Skill issue

#

It's not endless either btw

red island
#

you cant say skill issue when numbers dont match

onyx sage
#

the turrets don't count as elite

red island
#

a tank with pfe being destroyed mean a not tank with pfe will get obliterated

onyx sage
#

but every enemy is elite

red island
#

lol even worse

quiet arrow
#

rate plss

onyx sage
#

if you know how to rush to the right generator and kill it, you can hold out in that corner

magic pilot
#

The Turrets are extremely easy to destroy if you know what you are doing

red island
quiet arrow
red island
jade bane
#

Does MODS only available to Helmet,Bag, and Chest?

onyx sage
#

i soloed master with no exotics no expertise

magic pilot
#

Most exotics are not best for dmg

red island
#

except ouro

magic pilot
#

Not the best for dmg

#

The misinformation is strong today

red island
#

it has the highest base damage ?

jade bane
#

When I started playing I only look at the Core Attri. Weapon Damage. hahaha

onyx sage
#

smg-9 with measured go brrr

magic pilot
#

And it doesn't have the highest base dmg it has the highest base dps

quiet arrow
red island
#

thats what i mean when i say base damage

#

otherwise it would be nemesis every single time

magic pilot
#

That's not the same though

onyx sage
onyx sage
magic pilot
#

Not interchange terminology

red island
quiet arrow
red island
onyx sage
quiet arrow
#

alr

onyx sage
#

and you do not need acs-12 for this build

#

might as well use a smg for close range

red island
#

im saying base damage, not damage per bullet

magic pilot
#

That's also not the same

red island
#

base damage = damage per bullet x rpm

onyx sage
#

nope

#

at least, not in english

#

damage per minute = damage per bullet × rpm

red island
#

no

#

cause you forgot reload

onyx sage
#

base damage is the literal constant the game has

red island
#

you know reload is a thing right ?

onyx sage
red island
#

look who's wrong now

onyx sage
#

if you want to talk burst vs sustained we can but i'm making it simple

red island
#

saying "you know what i mean"

onyx sage
#

????

#

there is literally the thing called base damage

#

it's the one constant that every gun has

#

don't redefine it to suit your narrative

red island
#

you litterally just did

#

to suit your narrative

magic pilot
#

No lol

red island
onyx sage
#

okay if you want to be pedantic, damage per minute (ignoring reload) = damage per bullet × rpm

red island
#

you cant ignore reload

onyx sage
#

yes you can

red island
#

unless bk, no

onyx sage
#

because some situations you do not reload

#

you can just do it in one mag, as you just said

#

different metrics for different use cases

red island
#

yeah, thats why i said base damage

#

"in some situation you dont reload" isnt a metric

onyx sage
#

go and ask any other theorycrafter and see if they agree with your definition of "base damage"

red island
#

do you think they agree you dont reload ingame ?

onyx sage
#

do you think they understand the context?

#

not everything is measured in sustained dps

red island
onyx sage
#

okay you can be pedantic all you want

red island
#

im not

#

im applying to you the same rethoric you did to me

#

dont like it ? dont do it

onyx sage
#

how do you define the number that a weapon does in one bullet?

red island
#

said it before : damage per bullet

onyx sage
#

okay what if it crits?

red island
#

damage per bullet on crit

onyx sage
#

okay what if it hits a head?

red island
#

damage per bullet on headshot

onyx sage
#

okay what if it's on diamondback?

red island
#

do you see a pattern now ?

onyx sage
#

no, do you see the pattern?

red island
#

yes

onyx sage
#

it's context

red island
#

not really

onyx sage
#

"damage per bullet" without any context is open to interpretation

red island
#

there is no context here

onyx sage
#

what's the user's weapon damage? what's their crit?

red island
#

thats why i said base damage, not 6 red core damage

onyx sage
#

if you ask anyone's "damage per bullet" for the same gun you'll get different numbers because they don't understand what the context is

red island
#

im talking weapon

#

not gear

onyx sage
#

see, i'm not

magic pilot
#

It's entirely build dependent

onyx sage
#

i'm not even saying it's on gear or weapon

#

and you just interpreted it on your own

#

see the problem?

magic pilot
#

No one is using a build with no additional stats

#

Also burst dps is measured with no reload speed taken into account

red island
onyx sage
#

which is... context

red island
#

which is the same

magic pilot
#

What happens when you are comparing builds

#

With different weapons and gear

blazing notch
#

hey folks, is the optimization cache worth?

red island
versed summit
blazing notch
#

I seem to be struggling with those mats

red island
#

you dont compare different weapons with different builds

onyx sage
#

we can compare different builds

magic pilot
blazing notch
#

How do I farm them?

magic pilot
red island
#

no comparison

magic pilot
#

You are the one stuck on base dmg lol

red island
#

im following your logic

onyx sage
#

redefining terms, ignoring context, isn't that what we do as rigorous theorycrafters?

red island
#

i told that at the beginning, you refused, now you explain more your logic, and it still apply

magic pilot
#

No one measures base dmg, its burst dps and sustain, one shot dmg is really only for HHing

#

Your original argument is Ouro is the highest dps smg, because it has the highest base dps. Which is incorrect. It has the highest base but is not the highest dps smg

red island
magic pilot
#

I did.

red island
#

instead of being pedantic all the way

onyx sage
#

you redefining what "base damage" is doesn't help

red island
#

i didnt

versed summit
# blazing notch How do I farm them?

Depends on which mats you need. Control points are good for the flags/field recons.

Bounties are good for the tactical assessments just make sure you’re farming the correct faction.

Shd calibration/clipboard are kinda hard to get, so getting it from your watch /countdown/projects

The rest are from deconstructing gear

magic pilot
#

You said Ouro has highest base dmg, which is not correct

onyx sage
#

I'm sure someone else can say whether you did or not

red island
#

you redifined base dps

#

then said "you know what i mean"

magic pilot
#

Then You said you meant dps

#

But continued to say base dmg

onyx sage
magic pilot
#

Which are different things

red island
#

so either you know what i mean, or you dont play that card

#

you cant have it both ways

onyx sage
#

no, i don't know what you mean

magic pilot
#

You are using the wrong terminology lol

red island
onyx sage
#

because i leave it up to interpretation

magic pilot
#

No one knows what you mean

onyx sage
#

there are correct interpretations

red island
#

not your interpretation of base dps

onyx sage
#

if everyone attaches all the qualifiers in their language when talking about something, we would still be monkeys

red island
#

didnt you said something about being rigorous just before ?

onyx sage
#

or you could grow a pair and begin to take into account context

#

yes, not everything has to be spelled out

red island
#

or is that just me that need to be rigorous and you can do whatever you want its fine when you do, but not when i do ?

onyx sage
#

because i assume you're a grown adult who can read context

red island
#

i also read double standards

magic pilot
#

It's not a double standard

onyx sage
#

i think i'm done, the point is all over the floor

red island
#

it is

magic pilot
#

That's how burst is calculated lol

red island
#

thats not what he said

magic pilot
#

You are talking about sustain when you talk about reload

red island
#

he said dpm

magic pilot
#

Dps- means burst dps usually unless you specify

red island
#

i didnt say dps

onyx sage
magic pilot
#

Dpm/60s is burst dps lol

mint axle
#

can you guys stop arguing and move along already?

red island
solar sable
#

can we hug?

red island
#

see, double standard, you use the wrong words

magic pilot
#

Because everyone understands how to find dps from dpm lmao

red island
#

nobody talk about dps

onyx sage
#

yap yap yap

magic pilot
#

Dpm and dps are essentially the same thing

#

You understand that right

red island
#

nope, thats why reloads are a thing

magic pilot
#

That's sustain dps

red island
#

thats my whole point

red island
magic pilot
#

Sure if that's how you understand it

red island
#

no, thats how maths work

shy willow
#

the damage formulae are already established

magic pilot
#

I'll end the conversation here, next time you spread misinformation I'll be here to correct you like always

red island
#

im the one correcting averageplayer

#

next time dont talk about sustain dps without reload

onyx sage
#

no one appreciates it anyways

red island
#

glad we can sort this out

torn raven
#

could someone give me advice on a good pvp build

urban latch
red island
#

lmao

urban latch
#

Please I beg you... Look into what these terms mean...

red island
#

not the point i made

urban latch
#

What you were looking for there was sustain DPS. It's been explained to you over and over, but what your calling base damage is burst damage. Terms mean things so we can communicate

urban latch
red island
#

then you didnt understand what i said

#

litterally the opposite of the point i made

urban latch
#

Can you get me the base damage of literally any gun?

#

Ouro for example

red island
#

man you're still not on the point i made

#

do you really want to start this over ?

urban latch
#

Yes

red island
#

aight

#

whats dpm ?

urban latch
#

Can you get me the base damage of literally any gun?

red island
#

not my point

#

not even close

urban latch
#

We're starting at the most basic point here and working up

red island
#

no, i need to you start even lower

#

before even talking about division

urban latch
#

There is no lower...

red island
#

yes there is : maths

urban latch
#

There is no math for this answer

red island
#

there is

#

they gave it

urban latch
#

There is not for base damage. It's a number directly from the game, and a term used by the game

red island
#

no, its a term used for any game, not just the division, doesnt require numbers yet

rich lotus
#

Raucey don’t bother bruh 😭

red island
#

you're so far from the point i made, its gonna take days

urban latch
red island
#

stop dodging

urban latch
#

Can you get in the game right now?

red island
#

no i cant get in the game right now, and it doesnt matter, stop dodging my point

urban latch
#

Exactly what point are you trying to make

red island
#

double standards

rich lotus
#

The point in question:

#

Reminds me of Fog of War

#

When he made that hilarious DPS math video and said EB has best burst DPS cause of its reload speed 😭

red island
#

critical hands best dps trust me

urban latch
#

So you've got no point your trying to make here...

red island
#

already made it

urban latch
#

Cool. Can you get me the base damage of literally any gun?

red island
#

not right now, why ?

#

cant open the game or access the spreadsheet

urban latch
#

DM me when you can

red island
#

no, im good

#

i dont do double standards

#

as i said before

urban latch
#

What double standard lol

red island
#

the one i talked about the entire time

rich lotus
#

That’s not the POINT Raucey

red island
#

it is

rich lotus
red island
#

i tried, you intantly jump to ask me base dps of a weapon

rich lotus
#

If its that obvious please tell us because gaslighting is just sad

urban latch
#

I might be confused, are you using the typical definition of a double standard or one you made up?

urban latch
red island
#

not like we were starting from the sane base

urban latch
#

I'm trying to teach you something here

rich lotus
#

You are impossible to have a conversation with

red island
rich lotus
#

Safe to just say you’re dodging cause you know you’re wrong

red island
#

stop talking like im stupid and listen to what i say

rich lotus
#

Nah you’re dodging

#

That’s not the point

red island
#

i made my point, you completely dodged it

#

then started to ask me about base damage

#

then you expect me to act as if everything is normal

rich lotus
#

So you felt insulted that Raucey wanted to take it from the basics to understand something?

red island
#

no

rich lotus
#

Yes obviously

red island
#

ok bud

rich lotus
#

Right here pal

#

Well looks like that’s the end of that!

echo fox
#

Anyone got a good starter build for countdown?
I have a build but I was told strike drone and turret skill build was a no no

rich lotus
#

Striker

versed summit
#

there's a good guide in the pinned spreadsheet

rich lotus
#

Yellow striker with turrent drone!!

echo fox
#

What's the best way to farm that? Only shd lvl 100ish so my DPS for challenging is a bit lacking. And hard is slow to farm 😭

onyx sage
rich lotus
#

Best way to farm is to do Countdown lol. Just do it on challenging and let others carry

versed summit
solar token
#

i thought skill builds were a no-no

#

bc hunters be on that bullshit

rich lotus
#

Oh they’re a no no for a lot of reasons but yeah that’s one of them

solar token
#

but yeah you don't really need a super optimized build for countdown. 8 players plus pretty significant buffs make it pretty manageable

echo fox
#

I love my capacitor refractor build though 😦
But gotta adapt for different stuff. I knew I'd have to build something different eventually

versed summit
#

that's part of the fun of the game, getting to make different builds for different content

rich lotus
#

Learning the right way 🥹

echo fox
#

Is there a website I can find a list of what I need for a striker build? I have a st Elmo assault rifle

rich lotus
#

Hit the search icon and go to pins in this channel

Assuming you’re on mobile

#

I wonder how much input lag on cloud TD2

echo fox
#

I get lag every now and then but over all it's amazing

solar token
#

got another question about the way this is laid out

#

for all of the gear pieces, is it required for each piece to be specifically the brand mentioned?

#

for example, does the chestpiece specifically need to be grupo? or could it be any of the other 4 brands used here?

#

bc the brand set bonuses will be the same right? so the important thing is the right attributes and talents

dense echo
versed summit
solar token
#

right

vivid timber
#

was just gonna say that ;p

solar token
#

ok, that makes this slightly less painful of a process

vivid timber
#

that groupo chest is so painful to find still looking for mine ...

solar token
#

same lol

#

i found one that's otherwise perfect except it has vanguard instead of unbreakable

vivid timber
#

the bag u can get away with by just slappin on talent

dense echo
solar token
#

tempted to say that's close enough, but unbreakable seems like one of the more important pieces of that build

vivid timber
#

yh ubreak is needed ;[

Trying to find a good ouroboros build but can’t find one

What’s it better in??

#

I have a decent big horn regen build for pvp so maybe pve

vivid timber
#

from my experience its decent in both but i dont use it often lol ill share the pve one anyway

#

Is the ouroboros bad?

vivid timber
#

this what i use

carmine spindle
#

Damn

versed summit

#

Good or should I use something else that’s better?

#

Cuz I just got it yesterday so I was thinking to make a build but if it’s that too great then scratch it

its pretty fun in pve tbh u can just slap it in with hb or striker easy

cinder creek

lvl 1 guy here, i got a question...are sniper builds viable for endgame content ? i jkust came over from div 1 and i dont want to play another striker build

red island
carmine spindle
#

The only thing that sucks is I’m hitting 1.3 mil full striker stack with st Elmo but same build but with ouroboros I’m only hitting 400k

cinder creek
red island
#

until then, you gonna change gear and weapon every few lvl

vivid timber
urban latch
#

Until you get a chest with the headhunter talent, don't worry about snipers

red island
#

yeah everything rely on headhunter talent

cinder creek
red island
#

i mean skill builds are a thing too

#

but yeah striker is still the best thing overall cause it adapts to almost everything

Hunter Fury or Heartbreaker

grand nimbus
#

Got it, thank you!
Any particular reason why?

red island

cause they give sustain/shield

subtle bluff

Look in the Pinned Messages

#

Also just having survivability isn't great in this game. Things need to died.

Question
Does the Pulse effect proc Vindictive?

magic pilot
grand nimbus
magic pilot
jade bane
#

I don't understand the Pulse. specially the attachment of technician, is just like Ping or Marking your enemy?

magic pilot
#

The reason it's useful is because an overcharged pulse gives you a huge dmg amplification, and can be used to proc flatline/spotter

#

also see enemies through walls

jade bane
bright raptor
#

use Technician + Spotter on a regular weapon DPS build with a weapon that accepts the Technician laser and has Flatline rolled

#

it does restrict weapon choices but it's very competitive in terms of damage

was doing manning for project, just heroic, and been kinda running it a bit different for a little quicker clear. 3 runners for mop up and bomb setting, and i sit up top with eclipse presetting spawns to burn... had some dude try staying up top with oxpecker... was kinda comical seeing that ring laser hitting nothing

werent the raid details prereleased

they got insider info yes

hexed steppe

to a few

magic pilot
#

They were streamers with very detailed google doc with how to beat it

#

Incursion, as far as I'm aware didn't have any mechanics leaked

onyx sage

tbh i doubt devs had such a doc in the first olace

magic pilot
#

Although I have no idea how they actually intended the lovers fight because it seems like it would've been insanely hard

the speedruns for either are a lot more impressive for me , as opposed to first clears

i remember raucey trying to ask devs or something

unless reddit is wrong

ouro is new exotic smg right?

Look in the Pinned Messages

oh hmm

I'm fairly new vs you

wasnt aware they ever reseted

uh yeah the WR back then was like 19 mins and i had a 20 min time i think

#

my time was like top 20

#

i see they managed to cut it down to 14:52 now lol

#

um where do i go to farm the striker stuff

#

or what do i do

karmic osprey
#

summit is a good place to farm the gear cause you can change the targeted loot

blissful orbit
#

is it still floor 100 farming

karmic osprey
#

no clue i reset at floor 99

subtle bluff
subtle bluff
#

You can target loot

blissful orbit
#

which is better

#

also what/where is countdown

karmic osprey
#

either one is better its personal preference

blissful orbit
#

i dont think that was a thing back then

karmic osprey
blissful orbit
#

i guess i needa do the main mission first?

karmic osprey
#

i never did the mission

blissful orbit
#

so i just hit g and mm heroic i take it?

#

or is solo running better

karmic osprey
#

theres hunters in the countdown

#

not like how it is in summit at floor 100 being hunters

subtle bluff
blissful orbit
#

yeah i think we used to just refarm floor 100 on repeat with nem and a&e build
