can someone do a mag size build with Pakhan and tell me how many bullets you get at max

#

why is this even a discussion

#

A real RPK firing at that speed would explode dude

marble root
#

All I’m saying is what’s meta? Meta mi swevos en tu boca (I wrote it in Spanish so I can’t be banned kappa chungus)

violet juniper
#

Your barrel would literally melt or something

#

Meta monkeys can cry and watch me with my 480 round frenzy stoner

marble root
#

Imagine like a 360 round blueprint

#

All I want to do, is bring descent builds into main game

violet juniper
#

it would be like that one mag attachment from Ghost Recon that's a literal semi circle mag

subtle bluff
#

I like Frenzy Stoner now. But only for bosses.

violet juniper
#

the second half of the mag is ridiculously high damage

Stand back guys, I got this.

violet juniper

Oh no

onyx sage

Regicide + Liberty shotgun build lmao

I had one shotgun build where I one shotted the nemesis

onyx sage

yeah descent builds in the real game would be nuts

some guy running around with intimidate and headhunter on

onyx sage
#

man my dream is to find out if GC amped headhunter

#

that's my dying wish

violet juniper
#

I would think they just stack separately

onyx sage
#

headhunter is probably one of the talents i don't think even devs understood

violet juniper
#

otherwise that's like 30% amp 800% total WD

onyx sage
#

most amps genuinely don't work with it, but some do like brazen

bold leaf
#

I was trying to figure out headhunter the other week; nope no idea what's going on there. number go big is all that matters in the end

onyx sage
#

which, i'm like... okay why did it take you this long to design an amp that does work with it

onyx sage
violet juniper
#

I would like to see an event where you can use Descent builds in normal play

onyx sage
#

yeah i'd just like running around with leadership + ad rush + intimidate

violet juniper
#

just release some poor dude with one cube of armour into a raid and watch him solo it

bold leaf
#

But if you have a good explanation, I'm all ears

violet juniper
#

Clutch + Adrenaline +protected reload

solar berry

clutch+BK is fire in descent

onyx sage

clutch is honestly good in descent

you're not trading a good backpack talent for it

without 3/3 Brazos, i have 362 on my stoner (its a Dare so its bad)

tldr

define shot damage = your damage normally without HH

your damage with HH stacks = shot damage + HH bonus (in other words HH gives you a second number that adds to your main shot damage)

however shot damage and HH bonus do have some common factors. among other things, these are weapon damage, total weapon damage, dta, dth, etc. (dttooc and most amps are notably absent and only apply to shot damage)

bold leaf
#

Thank you. I think that's where I got lost - figuring out which ones are calculated into the shot damage

onyx sage
#

i just linked it too in the build spreadsheet under the technical guides if you want to find it later too

Great thanks!

you could use skill builds; there are many ways, is a matter of preference.
Either you out directly out damage the enemies or do other things to mitigate incoming damage and buff yours.

For example, you could run this build
Coyote mask
Fenris with Focus talent
rest striker
all red

your ar of choice using an 8x scope
scropio as secondary (is a good get out of jail free card)

You can look up "meta" builds and pick from those. The above is just an example of one way to out damage enemies

marble root
#

my drome laster literally 2 seconds

#

so in simple terms

#

find rat spot, abuse rat spot

subtle bluff
#

Fenris is not BiS for Striker. Ceska is better due to CHC more value stats after you have so much WD

subtle bluff
onyx sage
#

depends on how much damage you do, you can basically find closer and closer spots to the enemy

marble root
#

how good is pestilence for legendary

onyx sage
#

it's decent

onyx sage
subtle bluff
#

Yup

tired falcon
#

pestilence for legendary depends on the rest of the gear...its' base single shot damage is not great so you're relying on the ticks to do most of the work for you

onyx sage
#

yeah it's never my first recommendation imo, but it does work

subtle bluff
#

Pesti itself is good DPS weapon

marble root
#

i would say something about using like idk foundry bul but i would have no damage

#

would using deflector even be good in that scenario?

tired falcon
subtle bluff
#

You’ll get overran if you don’t unhealth quick enough.

onyx sage
#

it's basically 1.6x vs 1.5x

subtle bluff
#

Faster than I could type that.

marble root
#

im gonna try gimmicking with deflector

onyx sage
tired falcon
#

I've seen people run a max skill tier foundry with deflector in legendary

onyx sage
#

at least deflector does do damage

Quick question- Tech Support says it gives a 25% buff for 25 seconds.
And The Perfected Variant says it gives the buff for 27 seconds.

But the Wiki states that Normal Tech Support is actually 20 seconds.
Just wanna know if this is true.

I miss Pestilence stacks with hollow point transferring to other targets....that was an unnecessary nerf to ongoing directive

ivory needle
#

This is why I'm confused-

onyx sage
#

i'm blaming azurmen for this

ivory needle
#

Because if it's a 2 second difference-

#

It's not really worth usin-

onyx sage
#

let me update it to 25s. but yeah basically you don't want to go for perfect here because the brand is bad

ivory needle
onyx sage
#

yeah no worries. a lot of named items in this game have perfect talents but are intentionally placed on bad brands for "balancing", exceptions do exist ofc

ivory needle

Welp, I guess I'm hunting for my Wyvern Wear Tech Support-

subtle bluff
ivory needle

(I'm going to regret this...)

onyx sage

yeah, go for that, and empress tech support

#

those bags are gonna be used in more than a few builds

ivory needle

Empress IS nice.

Does anyone know if the catalyst exotic is still bugged?

just tried running a strikers elmos build, lasted maybe 30 seconds including the 15 seconds for them to spawn

also an important tip, use only tall cover, avoid short cover

Short cover is a trap is how I explain it.

marble root

i mean capitol building doesnt have much tall cover in the entrance

onyx sage
#

toasteyxgod has a few guides on all the legendaries in the game and it's probably my first recommendation for someone getting into legendary. even if you aren't soloing the strats work well in groups

tbh i thought i could only do legendary for that day's daily mission

@narrow grove Most builds that you need quickly can be obtained via Countdown, just set the TL (targeted loot) that you need and run it on Challenging until you have what ya need.

#

As for ones that you "should make", the obvious answer is stuff that's in the spreadsheet, all of those are good for content, but don't be afraid to ask if one you find is decent, we're happy to help.

mild mortar
#

Hey all,

I’m running a focused 1886 rifle build that leverages the Determined talent and Perfect Headhunter synergy for massive headshot burst damage.

Key points:

Weapon: 1886 Rifle with Determined (next shot guaranteed headshot after kill)

Gear:

3x Breaking Point (mask, gloves, holster) for +10% headshot damage set bonus

Chainkiller chest (Walker & Harris) with Perfect Headhunter talent — core to the build

Zwiadowka backpack with Vigilance for weapon handling and utility

Fox’s Prayer kneepads for damage to targets out of cover

Stats focus: Weapon Damage + Headshot Damage on all gear and mods, plus Weapon Handling for smoother aiming

Skills: Decoy + Pulse (Scanner)

Specialization: Sharpshooter for extra headshot damage and stability

This build is great for chaining headshot kills without needing perfect aim every time, thanks to Perfect Headhunter and Determined. It melts elites and clears tougher content efficiently.

Would love to hear thoughts or tips to optimize it further!

hazy steeple

My first thought: I have no idea how that wasn't flagged by the spam filter.

cerulean smelt
#

no kidding, that's a wall of text

not sure why 3 breaking point honestly
i'd drop those 3, go the contractor's gloves, and maybe 1 or 2 more of the Zwiadwka

obtuse gust
#

when i recalibrate a gearset-piece like umbra would it lock said piece so that i cant optimise it anymore?

solar berry
#

If you switch a stat to a different stat or optimize a stat, it will lock it.

obtuse gust
#

but other attributes as well?

#

so if i recalibrate stat a, am i unable to optimise stat b?

solar berry
#

Say that you have 2 stats,

They are out of 10% for example.

Stat 1 can be changed to a different 10% stat (non optimized),
but if stat is 9% and you optimize it to 10%, it will lock it out.

Stat 2 will be locked no matter what % it’s at, only thing it can be done is optimize to max stat.

@white mural You can modify a single attribute on a gun/gear, after that you cant edit any other slot on that particular item.
you can chance that one attribute as many times as you want.

Expected as much, thanks, I take it I'll have to find a close to god roll piece and then replace the weakest stat

It all depends what you want more later on. If needed. Or farm out another piece and do the same thing for a different attribute

chests and backpacks are always the hardest to get since your trying to get 3/4 rolls correct instead of just 2/3

Is this for a regulus HH build I assume? Imo your not really going to notice that on the regulus, but youd often pair a MMR/1886 on that build anyways, so sharpshooter makes sense. I typically either run technician for the +1 tier on the bulwark shield or firewall for the striker shield

strong cave
#

nah this is with PVP for conflict and DZ

#

i have a HSD reg build on one character. on my other one im doing crit regulus (dont knock it till you try it). my crits are immaculate but im trying to see how to best make the build perform. specialists is where its hanging me up

urban latch
#

For pvp the medkit becomes a big factor tbh

strong cave
#

popping an armor kit on demo boosts my weapon handling and so does sharpshooter. i was certain demo boosted explo damage but quickly learned its all pistol damage based. i wanna use firewall but at the same time, dont. the bonuses helps my weapons a bit better as this build is meant to play at distance

#

firewall i would take of course for the armor kit bonus. just trying to avoid that for differing bonuses

urban latch
#

this is a close range build though?

strong cave
#

it works at distance and can be close range

urban latch
#

the regulus only has an optimal range of 16, basically smg range

#

plus you need to be hitting headshots

strong cave
#

typically i hit once in the body, then once in the head and it usually drops enemies very quickly. headshot damage would be the most optimal ofc. i went with crit to see how reg would do and im loving the performance so far. the specialist is whats screwing me over. the crit headshots are nice and allows me to take any gun i want. i keep falling back to the specialists tho bc i am in a "choice crisis"

urban latch
#

whats your chc?

strong cave
#

60

urban latch
#

whats your chd?

strong cave
#

with pistol selected

#

at range, thats what my chd will be at. close range, way more. the hsd on reg is already high enough

#

I might just go with Demo/Sharpshooter/Firewall. the flashbang and weap handling bonuses on sharpshooter is nice. demo for dtoc bonuses and the armor kit weap handling bonuses. firewall for the consistent regen on medkit pop

#

sigh. going with firewall. that regen bonus is too hard to pass up

you can run things with armor on kill like hunters fury. Clutch exists but really isnt worth it

Gunner has 10% armor on kill as well as palisade(1 pc brand set bonus) so you can get an ez 10% from either or 20% if you run both.

yea, didnt get too many members to attempt

hearty owl
#

I mean if you plan on killing things with a skill build you should have glass cannon on but yeah that makes you one shot. But if your turret and drone are killing everything then you shouldn’t really be pulling aggro 🙂

#

depends on what legendary and if the global event is on, time of day I guess as wel

survival skill shield+drone best?

Drone and Turret unfortunately the easiest and likely best skill build for legendary

hexed steppe
# rustic pendant Memento?

exotic bag, has a ton of attributes associated once you stack the talent. here is a copy pasta :
I look at all it does. Cores and long buff only (at full stacks) represent:
-45% weapon damage
-2 shield tiers
-free armor and skill core
Skill efficiency (% in all Skill Buckets)
-30% skill damage
-30% status effects
-30% skill duration
-30% skill health
-30% skill haste
-30% skill repair
-# skill buckets™️
-3% armor regen

Short buff adds temporary core dependent boosts. so weapon damage, more skill efficiency, bonus armor.

did I just miss where you posted your build? because what your running doesnt make sense lol

the point of the after action wasnt to brag, was to show refactor not really hindering the team. 20min clear, not last place in damage, with refactor chest so not high damage, but better heals

does snapshotting work in this game? say my skill tier is at 5 but i pull out the kard custom to get it to 6, when i pull out the drone and turret will it stay at t6 until it gets destroyed?

Hey guys, I have question about frenzied mag size maxxing

#

Since frenzy gives weapon damage, would running full tank with memento work as a means of solo clearing work?

#

Also they should make a gear set with minecraft thorns enchantment as the ability

thorny solstice
# marble root Since frenzy gives weapon damage, would running full tank with memento work as a...

Solo heroic u can run with whatever really.
Memento is such a good item in general.
Imo, frenzy mag size stacking is not worth it, id rather use "normal" dmg sets/talents and have higher dmg ceiling.
Frenzy is fun to use, but with LMGs u need to understand how to maximize frenzy uptime and im sure its not worth it in most case.
What u could do with frenzy, is that use 2 LMGs with frenzy, leave few bulltets in magazine, swap, shoot those few bullets, reload, frenzy, dump to almost empty, swap....etc....
Lots of reloading tho, but its fun, especially with Umbra. With right LMG u can just dump all the mag in 9seconds.
SPRAY AND PRAY!

should I keep my Sokolov piece or run a walker piece instead? if we assume both are god rolled with crit rolls, what would do more damage?

subtle bluff
#

This is iirc right when I was doing math for incursion speed runs pre-nerf Ouro

violet juniper
#

it seems that the higher the weapon damage goes, it can go to silly levels of damage. I popped assault link while I was fighting and I jumped from around 850K damage to 1.2 million

#

But I'll grab a grupo chest and a walker chest, then test them both

subtle bluff
#

It if works it works.

violet juniper
#

it's best if all your pieces are working towards a specific goal. So if you're running a sniper build, you'd want all your attributes to be headshot damage and weapon handling

build synergy. dps are based off red coresweapon weapon damage , total weapon damage , crit chance and crit damage. also bonus attributes, like damage to target out of cover, are all multipliers. youll stack as much as you can without affecting your crit chance.
code blocks represent different "buckets", each bucket multiplies with all the other buckets.
the build guides will break down what you should focus

Blues drop

hazy steeple
#

@loud narwhal Yep!

#

Striker only drops with red, but you can change 1 "thing" about the piece, either an attribute or the core.

#

IIRC there's 1 Gear Brand that drops with a different core depending on the piece, but the rest are static.

loud narwhal
#

One person said blues drop, one said they don't

eager viper
#

Blue core striker pieces drop

hazy steeple
#

I'd like a screenshot of this happening, since it'd be a recent change if they did.

#

Gear/brand is designed like that because of the builds they're usually associated with.
It's why the majority of the attributes you get with Striker pieces are red, since it's weighted to be the same as the Core.

eager viper
#

At work but I’ll send u screen shots. I have blue core striker build that I rolled the attributes on.

Likely a glitch if you do have it, that'd be a heck of a change to miss.

you have to do enough damage to kill the enemy your shooting at. Otherwise you'll lose the chaining effect of headhunter and determined

named enemies have a lot of health on heroic, which is where options like the nemesis or M870 shotgun come into play to deal with them

# hushed gorge Where can i calculate the stack? The skull icon?

If you look at the headhunter icon on the chest, that symbol will show up when you have headhunter stacks, along with a bar for how close to max stacks you are. Keep in mind the max stacks is capped by the base damage of your currently active weapon. So say you build stacks with your MMR, swap to an AR for a second and without shooting swap back to your MMR. Simply swapping to the AR will re-cap your HH stacks to that low base damage level

the hh icon sometimes bugs out btw

#

Is the striker build still a viable build? Haven't been playing since y4

onyx sage
#

yeah it's still our top recommendation

fast flame
#

Any weapons that I should look out for to go with it?

onyx sage
#

this should have all you need

fast flame
#

I see thanks

#

Man I miss the days when eb was still good

hushed gorge
#

finally reached Expertise lvl 30

#

and the first thing i did after that

craggy forge
#

is it even possible to find a ceska chest with chd chc and weapon dam?

hushed gorge
#

Yes

craggy forge
#

All I see is one of the both and weapon handling, like 24/7 😄

hushed gorge
#

Well
If you are that unlocky,try tinkering

craggy forge
hushed gorge
#

Target for one Crit stat and preferred talent
Then tinker the other useless stat

craggy forge
#

i either have to find one with glas cannon on it, or with chc and chd

hushed gorge

Hm

#

2p Hana-U, 1p Wyvern/1p Sacrifice. what does wyvern/sacrifice mean? is that a stat combination?

onyx sage
#

either wyvern or sacrifice. wyvern is a brand set; sacrifice is a named item that has perfect glass cannon

queen jackal
#

if I understand that correctly, I will have mask/holder/pads and hands with refactor

#

chest and bag is either 2x hana-U or 1x wyvern and 1x sacrifice

onyx sage
#

oh, in this case you either use 2p hana-u or wyvern + sacrifice

#

context matters in this case

queen jackal
#

I was about to add right? but slowmode :/ anyway... sacrifice is still a named item for chest/bag?

glad heart

#

a couple bumps and recal to obliterate, and done.

craggy forge
#

I have to find one first 😄

queen jackal
#

thanks 🙂

onyx sage
queen jackal
#

uhm what does that mean? 😅 sorry

onyx sage
#

sacrifice is a named chest under the providence defense brand. you can farm it with providence as targeted loot

queen jackal
#

ohhh okay I wasn't aware. I thought I can select sacrifice (in summit for example). thanks!

#

but I would more likely go for hana-U

glad heart
#

I have had the Sacrifice drop in Summit, more often than the Ceska, or Grupo chest pieces (CHD/'CHC,) when targeting other pieces such as China Light and Wyvern... go figure

queen jackal
#

haha 😄

does priority objectives have a chance for Catharsis?

shy willow

should do

marble root
#

say i wanted to make a signiture weapon build, which signiture weapon would be best?

marble root
#

cause sure, you go tip of the spear (hopefully), but what else

#

im unironically about to go farm tip of the spear

#

what am i doing

mint axle
marble root
#

ok is it even worth farming tip for a journey mission?

What do you think for PVP?

All i see is hs dmg or weap handling😂

#

Rng be rng sometimes bro 😂 you could always switch one attribute out tbf but you’d need a decent one with atleast some one good stat and the talent you want I won’t lie took me along time to find one with the talent I wanted should’ve added that 😂😂😂😂got a few chc and chd ones with the talent I didn’t want but switched it out on the best one for overload

And doing countdowns 24/7 is giga boring😂

I actually find it crazy how ppl are 70k+ shd level

what would i want as a talent on a AR striker build?
im playing with this atm

solar sable
#

You can change that slot as long as it's not optimized (which isn't the case here)

full bane
solar sable
#

yup

past salmon
#

Hi all, just looking for advice to make this better?

#

The blue mods I have for PFE

#

I can switch for Crit dmg, was just getting more protection

solar sable
#
  1. Trash Ninjabike. Use Striker bag.
  2. Why so many blues?
  3. Swap Picaros for Striker holster.
  4. Using too many blue cores not only makes you deal less dmg but makes you struggle to kill on harder content.
#

If you want a build that works better for survivability, use Red HB instead.

past salmon
#

I should swap holster and bag for striker? Just bag and then a different holster. Whats HB?
Just trying to get a build where I can do legendary/master

solar sable
#

Tbh, adding blue cores in PvE makes you a higher quality bullet sponge.

HB aka Heartbreaker.

Using blue cores in legendary or master is (I may be wrong) unoptimal since you'll get easily overwhelmed by not killing them enemies fast

past salmon
#

Same for raids im guessing? More red cores replaced?
I was doing picaros because it gives 10% weapon damage, skill haste and skill tier.

#

Is the better option to do coyotes with 4 striker and the same chest piece I currently have

solar sable
#

Yup, if you want to use Memento instead of Coyote's keep in mind you'll have to play differently to get mem stacks

subtle bluff
#

NBB always takes from your Max potential of the build. It nerfs dmgs

thorny kernel
#

What's the best non-exotic MMR?

smoky latch
#

I like the White Death personally

#

Model 700 also good

tranquil wave
#

Of course you can just go with onetap rifle build but meh, personal preference.

what's Interference Blocker?

#

set bonus or smth?

tranquil wave
#

You can swap Strega AR aswell, kill one red ad with it close to named elites or whatever, put +15% more damage for them and then go to Lud, shreds even faster

Is it worth sacrificing 8k dmg for 300k armour? To be more specific, I'm swapping a legstus mask with 13.2 wd, 8.8 headshot, and 5.3 cc for a gila mask with max armour. Is it worth it?

hexed steppe
#

Armor basically never worth outside of pvp builds. Post build because there are probably much better options than the ones you're asking about

near elm
hexed steppe
#

Currently, are you using the build like dps (weapon damage) or more as tank

near elm
#

I'm trying to incorporate the both of them

#

A sort of run n gun high def build

tranquil wave
#

For PvE don't

#

It's easier to wipe enemies with full dps build than do a combo of 'somewhat hybrid build' and take 3x time to complete activities

hexed steppe
#

Ok. So focus on ceska, grupo for highend pieces, then farm out either heartbreaker, striker, or umbra

#

Consider coyote mask, memento bag as possible exotics

hexed steppe
#

Memento heartbreaker with a ceska piece probably offers the best damage/survivability . Striker is top damage. Umbra has a healing feature but is mostly dps

tranquil wave
#

Umbra is useful only in PvP honestly, perfectly made Strikers outdps anything tbh

#

In PvE

hexed steppe
#

The pinned spreadsheet in this channel has a lot of good guides and will give an idea of what you're looking for

near elm
#

Well I'm just looking for pve rn and I just don't have the memento bag

#

I have ninja bike kneepads

hexed steppe
#

Its not needed, but is a solid choice when one drops

tranquil wave
#

For PvE anything, Strikers + Lud weapon shred everything but keep some distance if you're going full red cores, you'll be dealing anyways 900-1.1m a shot to an enemy

hexed steppe
#

What's rof on lud?

tranquil wave
#

650, 748 with Strikers or around that

hexed steppe
#

So not a great stacker

#

The model is really stable tho

tranquil wave
#

Well i wipe anything at Heroic +3 faster with Lud than anything else, beside onetap rifle build

#

Sure playstyle and whatnot for others players, but..

#

Perhaps debatable against cleaners in new expansions since turrets are annoying asf, but as far the build goes, it goes brr brr to any enemy or rogue agents

hexed steppe
#

Nice. I'm still stuck on elmo most of the time so neither one of us stick with "top dps" weapon choices div2salute

hearty owl
#

My AUG also goes brr brr at max striker stacks

tranquil wave
#

As local said, debatable what is the best weapon with Strikers

near elm
#

I'm using a lud rn but it has optimal range as its max attribute

hearty owl
#

Literally anything goes brr brr on max stacks

tranquil wave
#

They all do good damage, Elmos is laser beam from all ranges with decent damage, Lud is now hitting mad stacks, AUG as for smg deals alot at close range too, so - preference

I'm new in division 2. Is the pinned spreadsheet up-to-date?
