[still juniper]

That's quite unfortunate

You'd hate corn then

[frozen meadow]

I can't stop it

[unkempt sparrow]

that's the only reason I hate em

[still juniper]

I'm surprised nobody has come to stop this yet

[unkempt sparrow]

sure I eat nuts every now and then

[real locust]

same

[frozen meadow]

Corn 🤤

[swift ridge]

I dont hate the sound of crunching food....but i hate the sound of people eating with their mouth open

[still juniper]

Haven't we been talking about food for over an hour?

[unkempt sparrow]

lmao

[frozen meadow]

Only like ten min

[unkempt sparrow]

surprising how y'all weren't stopped

[still juniper]

I'm an ohioan, we are the corn capital of the civilized world

You ever have ohioan corn?

[frozen meadow]

I'm from PA, by god we have the best cheese steaks

[swift ridge]

I presume the mods are busy ... Or enjoying the random talk, one of both 😂

[still juniper]

I've heard Philadelphia ain't half bad

[frozen meadow]

The cheese steaks are 🤤

[real locust]

rivens sitting on discord mobile just watching us like 😶‍🌫️

[unkempt sparrow]

cheese steaks mmmmmmmmmmmmm

[unkempt sparrow]

lmao

[still juniper]

One thing I find sad is nobody knows the difference between ohio and fucking nebraska

[swift ridge]

Sneaky sneaky

[still juniper]

Both just say they're barren corn wastelands

[reef reef]

just a reminder that #off-topic-discussions exists

[swift ridge]

Uh oh

[still juniper]

Ohio is a corn wasteland, nebraska is just a wasteland

[unkempt sparrow]

WE HAVE BEEN FOUND

[real locust]

coles brand sachet coffee is a staple food of my life

[unkempt sparrow]

lmao

[real locust]

🏃‍♂️

[still juniper]

What is this, barely after a minute after I say something?

[unkempt sparrow]

💀

ruuuuuuun

[still juniper]

Genuine question, how long were you watching

[reef reef]

bout 5 minutes

[swift ridge]

I told uuuu

They watch for a while then they jumpscare ya

[reef reef]

anyways please use #off-topic-discussions for discussion not related to division

[real locust]

always watching you wazowki always watchinggg 🐌

[unkempt sparrow]

imagine new emote is just you eating a burrito

we have a soda one

[still juniper]

Well shit

[swift ridge]

Ohh that would be lovely

[unkempt sparrow]

or an energy bar

ugh grinding shd levels

pain

[swift ridge]

Honestly im abusing the golden bullet to grind shd lvls

[unkempt sparrow]

yeah

can't wait for heroic countdown

[swift ridge]

Run heroic strongholds... Headhunter with sharpshooter! I already 1 tap with my normal marksman! I get golden, i swap to my specialist

I put 4 directives for exp! I keep the fog of war tho, i wanna see enemies 😂

[unkempt sparrow]

oh yea

[swift ridge]

I get about 3 watch lvls every run

[unkempt sparrow]

fog of war gets annoying sometimes

[swift ridge]

And it takes like 10-15 minutes tops

[still juniper]

Hi riven

[swift ridge]

I died so many times cuz of it

[hybrid ore]

Fog' for me just means that I run some kind of pulse too.

[swift ridge]

I barely have a proper build and im legit squishy... 700k armor with 300k HP, i have to run foam and mostly like repair drone

Otherwise i die in like 2 hits tops 😂

[hybrid ore]

So all Reds, that's easily fixable.

Take a shield, slap on 2 or 3 blue cores and enjoy.

[still juniper]

Hi riv

I got regulus the other day

[unkempt sparrow]

surprising how this game didn't crash once after update

[stone wind]

I know the Six12 is technically better than the Super 90 because it's mag fed, but I just enjoy the Super 90 more.

[swift ridge]

I have that build on my SMG, not for my headhunter tho! I went all reds with memento backpack... Since if im mostly running headhunter then my friends are with me! So im practically the dps 😂

[swift ridge]

It crashes for my friend about 3-4 times a day

I think it has sth to do with your GPU now if its on PC

[unkempt sparrow]

I used to crash like that too

after the update no crash

[hybrid ore]

CQB build, no blues, using an Exotic that required close range.
RIP.

[stone wind]

Yeah crashes have indeed become less frequent. Like I can actually play CD now.

But there are some of the occasional crashes still, but not as bad.

[swift ridge]

Dont look at me... Been only playing for barely 2 weeks! I understand nothing about the game 😂

Still learning u know 😊😊

[unkempt sparrow]

oh I played for like 400 hours

[swift ridge]

If ur game doesnt crash in CD, it freezes u some other way... From my experience at the very least

[unkempt sparrow]

yeah it freezes sometimes

[stone wind]

Agreed, that does seem to be the case now, but it's very seldom.

[unkempt sparrow]

I always think it would crash there but it loads in

[errant blade]

I can't find a single soul in matchmaking on Playstation

[unkempt sparrow]

F

[swift ridge]

Rip

[errant blade]

Is it possible to change regions to US?

Server region

Don't say take a flight

[hybrid ore]

VPN could work.

[errant blade]

We're talking playstation here😂

[unkempt sparrow]

how long does it take for the open world lootboxes to reset?>

[hybrid ore]

Write the word "VPN" on your controller then.

[swift ridge]

I think i read somewhere that u can change ur PS whole store region if u know how to access the files for your PS using a PC

But i have no clue if its actually possible or not

[sturdy cape]

happens daily when the targetted loot changes

[swift ridge]

U could check the internet for answers tbh

[unkempt sparrow]

why is my acosta bag always green💀

[safe wraith]

Different color variations

[winter pulsar]

Lol I've gotten 2 and they were both red

[unkempt sparrow]

no I got like 6 and every single one of them were green

the only time I got a different color was when someone dropped if for me

[safe wraith]

RNG

[unkempt sparrow]

💀

[vale ledge]

only 3 colours

blue/grey red blue/gren

[stone wind]

The Benelli M4, AKA the Super 90. Nothing like a reliable, decisive combat shogun to unite the warring states and bring all samurai under one banner.

[unkempt sparrow]

[past zinc]

Sidearm specialist summit challenge is broken. Anything that causes u to put away your sidearm will reset it including simply going up a rapel rope

[fair lake]

I've checked their trello, but didn't find anything related to impossibility to return into CD after crashing. It's not important, I guess

[rustic glade]

I wish we could pet the stray dogs out in the world, they always run away though

[hybrid ore]

There's actually a line in div1 that explains why it's a bad idea.

[tropic lava]

game crashed as soon as i found a comfortable floor 10 farm

rip

[hybrid ore]

It's trying to tell you something.

[sand belfry]

game just freezes now instead of crashing lol cant even log in wtf

[hybrid ore]

Loading screen? Try hitting escape a few times.

[dapper crater]

why countdown so weird after update??

last update was because game crash, this update is after finish hunters, players gone... 8 players gone till 3 players ==

[sand belfry]

im stuck at 11%

is this a thing?

[kind pulsar]

As soon as I attacked a cleaner, my game froze, too. The screen frame was hilarious not gonna lie, on of them was screaming and the sound was like AAAAAAAAAAA

[polar chasm]

so yesterdays stream they didnt have any news on the game itself we didnt already knew? so what was the big announcement then?

[distant imp]

I have gotten all the items from the street event

[dapper atlas]

Where did they say that there will be a big announcement? 🤔

[polar chasm]

so why hold a special stream for something we all know already, only thing what was special was the ETF, and not sure if thats gonna help fix the games future

[ocean kraken]

Anyone know where the countdown vendor is

[modest lintel]

rally point omaha

[ocean kraken]

I have found it! Thank you as I grinded countdown alot

[modest lintel]

yw

[viscid cargo]

Arent dogs carriers of green poison, that don’t get symptoms?

[rustic glade]

It's cool, I've had my shot

[tropic compass]

With expertise if i make a 1 piece proficient will all 6 pieces become proficient thus giving me 60 expertise levels?

[sturdy cape]

pretty sure each gear or brand set counts as 1 item so only 10 levels available

named items are an exception and count as their own item

[tropic compass]

I only have ever equipped wyvern kneepads and its lvl 3 proficiency and so are is my wyvern holster and backpack so that's why I'm asking

And I haven't focused on expertise at all and I'm at lvl 3

[sturdy cape]

yeah they'll all level up together, they're essentially the same item in terms of proficiency

if you equip multiple wyvern items they'll level a lot faster

[serene marlin]

Morning Everybody. New here, just browsing for now 😀

[dapper crater]

Good Evening

[tropic compass]

So it that why people run full 6pc instead of 6 random ones?

[sturdy cape]

that'll max out that brand/gear set super fast, yeah

[dapper crater]

both method got their own advantage, full 6pc done faster but just one brand set, 6 random done slow but once done got 6 expertise done

[serene marlin]

Better to put targeted loot on Countdown and donate what you collect. Easy farming great fun. Be sure to have at least 50 spaces though lol

[dapper crater]

for my method, those gears and weapons can farm at countdown just farm it and donate it, some dz exclusive and exotic weapons and gears will grind it

[dapper atlas]

They used to have State of the Game. Agent Briefing is just a different format, to keep us informed about what they are working on etc.

[tropic compass]

And how about exotics? How long does it take to level them up? Cause after 2 kills xp is at like 1k then 10 missions later they've levelled up

[kind pulsar]

Morning

[serene marlin]

I destroy any I get for components because you need them to level up the Expertise once its Proficient. If I want to level them up I'll use them, have them on the loadout or donate crafting materials.

[sturdy cape]

As for how long it takes to level them up by using them, hard to answer as it varies a lot based on what you're doing

[serene marlin]

I failed to notice myself, but does World Difficulty/Directives affect quantity of proficiency increase?

[dapper crater]

you may use it grind other weapons and gears in countdown, get weapons and gears to donate and earn exotic expertise experience... one stone two birds

[dapper crater]

I guess should be affect

[granite zephyr]

Yo, normal sticky bomb or burner?

Vus I'm about to kill the Fire wahmen

[kind pulsar]

Burner for the irony. Sticky bomb for the classics.

[unkempt sparrow]

Yeah game has freezing issues now

Much less crashes tho

I think the crashes from before just turned to freezes

(for me at least)

[azure lintel]

After maintenance, I got a couple of crashes within minutes. Updated drivers, reinstalled EAC, lowered all settings to the lowest, and only 1 crash since.

[plush otter]

it doesnt, proficiency is only off of kill xp, and that is the same on all difficulties, the only thing that will matter is the veterancy of the enemies, as that goes up the xp reward goes up, so it evens out a little bit as at lower diff you kill faster but its mostly red and allot less enemies spawn, but at higher diff you have more veterans and elites, and it spawns more enemies for most things. and its also why countdown is very good for farming prof xp

also that kill xp is not affected by directives

[mystic zealot]

got a question, if say, i'm wearing the Hollow man, a named Yaal mask, do i just gain proficiency xp for the named item, or the brand as well?

[modest lintel]

just the named item

[mystic zealot]

ah i see, thanks

[modest lintel]

yw'

[granite zephyr]

Stickybomb helped me so much

Just glue the enemies when the door opens

And then sticky them

What's the max tier some gears can go?

[kind pulsar]

6, if you don't count overcharged

overcharged is possible if you have a 7th skill tier stack, which can be gained through various abilities and talents

basically, it drastically changes a skills stat, like the time it can be used for until breaking down, it's charges or even its damage output!

[granite zephyr]

So you are telling me

With my vile mask, I can literally kill almost everyone in a 30 meter radius emp pulse?

Great

Overcharge = more range

[oak prawn]

ngl this shield splintere kinda slaps

[kind pulsar]

[frozen meadow]

on normal mode maybe

[full oracle]

just completed WONY and it was really fun

2 of the rogue agents (conley and dragov) were surprisingly easy. All you need to do is equip the bulwark shield and get in their faces. What are they gonna do stick bomb your shield and end up killing both of you?

[granite zephyr]

My mind is flowing with ideas

[granite zephyr]

Laughs in Sticky bomb spam and snare spam

Riot foam spam, 6 foams

[full oracle]

haha

[full oracle]

damn ok bro

[granite zephyr]

Maximum skill haste

[full oracle]

i personally prefer the shield but hey

thats my opinion

[granite zephyr]

Unlimited POWEEEEERRRR

[full oracle]

fax doe

[granite zephyr]

And plus, foams have no immune after being freed

So unlimited spam

[full oracle]

i see

[full oracle]

what if you dual wield chem launchers like the russian badger

fire starter and riot foam

[granite zephyr]

I wish

[full oracle]

did they remove it?

[granite zephyr]

But that is why I got Conley's flame sticky

You can't use 2 variants

Me putting skill haste to every gearslot possible

And plus, I'm hunting for BTSU glovesto get them extra skill support

[full oracle]

nice

[full oracle]

cool

imma make a 16 health bulwark shield build so i can melee everything till its dead

16 mil*

[full oracle]

but this does seem to be a good skill based dps build

good thinking man

[granite zephyr]

Yeah, enemies can't do anything if they can't shoot or move

Pure Crowd Control build

Plus got the creeping death perk

Spread the effects

The Lord blessed me with creeping death, so I put it into the calibration thing

People may like shooting at enemies and watching them die

But I like the enemies helpless as they try to run, before I whip out the MGL

[kind pulsar]

Evening Hope you're all having a great day so far!

[vocal thorn]

Welp. That's weird.

Game crashes to desktop whenever I try to launch from ubisoft, but when I just use the div 2 launcher in my folder it works fine.

[dry trellis]

🤔

Try a reinstall

[vocal thorn]

I'll probably try that tomorrow, since I got it working for now.

[stiff pollen]

Is it just me or after this last patch PS4 version became extremely unstable most stages often are not loading textures invisible walls, invisible cover, player can't run. Very often happening in open world as well as missions specially dcd

[quasi monolith]

Guys i reached lvl30 and finished the campaign...what should i do now ? Continue here or jump at the dlc?? (Owned already)

[hybrid ore]

Keep playing, the World Tiers are quite short and can't be replayed if you skip them.

[fair lake]

Story-wise - go through World Tiers

[azure lintel]

can you get exotics from countdown from any targeted loot?

[tender wave]

yes, but your chances are higher if you pick a TL slot that can include exotics (eg not a brandset or gearset)

[bright basin]

If I just did a raid, didn't loot at the end since I didn't get all keys, can I just do it again and get it or is it locked for this week?

[vocal thorn]

Gunner with golden gun is great.

hehe minigun go BRRRRRRRRRR

[bright basin]

^ most fun rn

[serene marlin]

you can open the chest every time you finish the raid provided you have 5 keys to open it. You get 4 keys from the boxes once per week, but get a key from the RB loot piles every time you complete the raid.

[frozen meadow]

you can get the key you missed, and youll get 1 key from the 4th boss every completion

[granite zephyr]

My first oak mission, helicopter flew up from the lake

[stiff pollen]

Man what's happening this patch

[bright basin]

Cool thank you guys ❤️

[frozen meadow]

sounds normal to me

[stiff pollen]

Usually on ge me and clan buddies speedrun run some invaded for stars at heroic 5 but walls and textures getting me killed so often

[frozen meadow]

that sounds like a hardware bug if i had to be honest

[stiff pollen]

Hardware? Like ps4 or the game installation?

Should I try reinstalling?

[frozen meadow]

idk im used to textures glitching being a hardware issue

i could be wrong but thats what i personally think

[stiff pollen]

I mean what do u suspect my hdd itself or just the game installation? Cause other games are fine

[frozen meadow]

like i said i could be wrong

[elder cradle]

hello! how do I obtain the Darzone currency "R"? I want to buy "The Apartment".

I have 4 "R" credits and it costs 152 😮

Mind you I havent played DZ since 2019 (and jsut cameback to teh game a month ago

[wheat zinc]

Deconstruct contaminated weapons and gear in DZ then extract them. There are some cases in the DZ that give a resource and those don’t need to be extracted.

[elder cradle]

oh!

each deconstruct probably ddrops lik 1-2 "R"?

[wheat zinc]

Just 1. You can have 25 resources to a bundle, then you’ll start a new bundle after that. So you could extract say four bundles of 25 resources at once.

[cinder osprey]

Hey guys, anyone have a sec to maybe help me understand the general gameplay and features of multiplayer in this game? Im still currently working through the campaign, but Im really interested in maybe joining a clan and doing the coop and endgame stuff.

[plush otter]

endgame kinda depends on what your interests are, there is allot to do, most of it is in service in making and improving builds, mostly its max 4 person stuff, with a few options of 8mans in countdown and the 2 raids

if you are interested in joining clans, you can always a look in #td2-clan-recruitment , some clans have requirements for being in endgame but not all, you could see if they will have you while lvling, or even help level if that is something you want

also almost all of it is also doable solo, or trough ingame matchmaking, with the notable exception of the raids on normal, but even that you can PUG for trough this discord

[viscid cargo]

Endgame is called endgame because it takes place after all the story stuff is done, so you wont be able to partake in that yet. However you can matchmake and play missions with other players, as well as DZ and (i think) conflict

[cinder osprey]

Awesome - Thanks for responding, yall! Could I ask a few followups?

1. What are the benefits of endgame activities? Loot, mainly?
2. What are the most popular PvE endgame activities? Is PvE end game pretty good quality w this game?

I come from Destiny2 endgame world and Im just trying to branch out and decide if this game is worth my commitment, long term.

[plush otter]

its mostly in service of leveling your shd level, that will give you significant stat bonuses till you reach shd lvl 999 from the watch you unlock after wony, and getting loot, as builds are much more of a thing in div2 from my limited understanding of d2

[viscid cargo]

1. replayability, without it people would stop playing after the campaign. And loot, yes
2. most are evenly spread, but Countdown for loot, and summit for XP are probably the most populated. The legendary strongholds are also decently populated, especially if its the weekly one

[cinder osprey]

Ok, rock on, yall. That gives me a better understanding. I’ll probably wait til I finish the campaign to join a clan. That is prob the best move, yea?

[unkempt sparrow]

SHD level 1 joins countdown

💀

literally me and one other person are the only ones with 3 digits

[cinder osprey]

Oh, btw - I bought the all access thing that is supposed to give extra rewards. How do I get those?

[viscid cargo]

Could you be more specific?

There are loads of things to buy

[unkempt sparrow]

season pass?

[cinder osprey]

Hidden Alliance Season Pass

Yep, thats it

[tender wave]

assuming you mean the season pass, it becomes available once you've completed the WONY expansion in story mode

[viscid cargo]

Oof

[cinder osprey]

Ohhhh, ok. Cool. So I need to hurry and beat that then haha

[tender wave]

yeah, the season is only likely to last a few more weeks

[viscid cargo]

I think theres like 3 weeks left?

Maybe 2

[tender wave]

given they moved new season to mid - September, hopefully the current season will be extended until then

[cinder osprey]

Ok, cool. Ill get to grinding then

[azure lintel]

how rare are exotics in countdown

[viscid cargo]

Same as everywhere else. However because of the abundance of named enemies its a pretty good farm

[proper ember]

to the guy called uncle-2 who somehow got me in a mission and carried me through it: im sorry i didn't endorse you idk what happened nor how i got there idk how to endorse

i feel so bad does endorsing do anything

[hybrid ore]

Almost nothing, it goes towards a "Shepard Rank", which at Lvl 25 awards them an arm patch. The rank is reset each Season.

I believe there's an auto-endorse mechanic, but I'm sure someone can fill in that gap of my knowledge.

[fair lake]

Sometimes you finish the mission together (as a shepard), but the amount of xp is not enough for auto-endorse and for manual endorse

[unkempt sparrow]

woo first crash since update

[azure lintel]

Where to report someone trash talking in game chat using some r@p3 word ?

[tender wave]

check the pinned messages in #unofficial-troubleshooting, there's a link for reporting players

[regal dove]

gotham should be the next location if ones ever added

[balmy cedar]

Depending on the amount of kills, time played and missions completed they will get an auto endorsement, if you endorse them they get a 2nd one which helps them rank up faster cause the shepherd system is so long

[vapid breach]

Sooo do we find golden bullet makes legendary missions easier?

[mint sphinx]

is kelso glitched cant talk to her about cptn lewis

[solar hearth]

are regulus parts guaranteed to drop after you do the projects before it?

[plush otter]

they will start dropping once you have access to the final project for the 5 parts that drop from the bosses and chest, that project will give you back the 5 parts after completion and awards the blueprint, so once you have done that final project you can craft it right after

[plush blaze]

Is there a sheet that shows what differences for each item perk is in pvp? Like are snipers nerfed by 20% in conflict and darkzone pvp or only in conflict? (Idk if thats a thing I just made a random one up)

[hybrid ore]

Actually yes! #td2-build-advice > 📌 pinned-message > spreadsheet.
enjoy!

[earnest folio]

Does anyone know if the Captain Lewis manhunt (the current one) gives you access to all 4 decryption keys? I just finished it, but it seems that im missing key no. 4. Any help would be appreciated; thanks.

[viscid cargo]

Redo the mission, should drop the key

[earnest folio]

Redo the final mission or the entire manhunt?

[viscid cargo]

Final mission

If not that one of the subtargets bugged

[deep berry]

I have a question, I’m planning to buy Divison 2 for 30 bucks. I’m a getting War lords of New York included?

[plush otter]

dont ask in multiple channels, its pretty frowned upon

and it will state what the version you are buying will contain

if it doesnt state it outright its without wony

[deep berry]

wha?

[plush otter]

wich store are you buying it in and what is the version called?

[deep berry]

Ubisoft store, The Division 2 Standard Edition PC

[plush otter]

standard edition is without wony

i dont think there is a sale right now so i wouldnt recommend buying it right now as it goes on sale pretty often for i believe 20 for the warlord edition which is base game + wony

[deep berry]

The DLC costs $30 on console it’s costed $ 10 ain’t no way

[hybrid ore]

WONY has been out for over 2 years by this point.
For PC it drops by 75% off fairly regularly. Just wait for a sale.

[plush otter]

a quick sales search shows its on sale currently on fanatical as a official store for 17E for the warlords edition, you can probably find it cheaper on key resellers but i wouldnt recommend dealing with that

[hybrid ore]

Just a reminder that a great deal of key reseller sites are well known for stealing peoples credit card information to buy the keys and sell them on to you.
Just wait for a legit place to sell it for cheap, don't feed this horrible practice.

[deep berry]

Those sales don’t occur much.

[hybrid ore]

On Ubi-Connect it goes on sale every major (and most minor) holidays, so yeah they do. You just have to be patient and keep an eye out.

September is almost here right? That would be Spring/Autumn sale, depending on your location.

[plush otter]

fanatical is a legit site and is a normal store, its not a key reseller, you can just get it there

well legit on the store end atleast, theyre loot box of games thing is a bit/a lot questionable

[royal whale]

Ubisoft dont support people who buy from grey market sellers

[royal whale]

It is and is on the approved list https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/help/purchases-and-rewards/article/approved-digital-distributors-of-ubisoft-games/000079502

[plush blaze]

Was this a yes to me? And where in the spreadsheet does it answer my question? Sorry to ask!

[azure lintel]

pvp modifiers aren't in the spreadsheet afaik

[plush blaze]

Is there somewhere that has them listed by chance?

[hybrid ore]

"PvP Modifier" (if any) is listed at the end of each Talent.
@azure lintel

[plush otter]

the spreadsheet does list the pvp modifiers for the talents under the weapon/gear talent tabs

and it has the dmg modifiers per weapon type in rauceys pvp guide at the top of the builds section

[plush blaze]

Does it list anything for weapons like snipers being nerfed in pvp or any other guns for headshots/crits etc (not just talents)

[hybrid ore]

I'd suggest going through the Spreadsheet yourself fully, since you're going to be referring back to it on the regular from now on anyway.
You can consider it an ingame menu.

[azure lintel]

ok I wouldn't go that far--

[hybrid ore]

The fact that you didn't know about the PvP modifiers headers says that you should be doing the same thing.

now get to studying, Agent.

Okay I need to rechargesleep now, play nice all.

[azure lintel]

???????????????

oh wow next time I'll pull out my magnifying glass

jesus christ

[plush blaze]

Tyty!

[dense willow]

Hi everyone

How do I get better guns and how do I unlock weapon attachments???

Sorry I'm new to the game

[smoky stag]

better guns: target loot farming on higher difficulties
attachments: unlock craftable mod blueprints by clearing level 3 control points repeatedly until you get all of them

[dense willow]

@smoky stag
Thanks
What do you mean target loot farming on high difficulty??

[smoky stag]

farm for them in open world locations or missions on minimum heroic difficulty that have your desired weapon type as its targeted loot or play countdown/summit after selecting the type of gun you want as target loot

[dense willow]

@smoky stag
Ummm sorry still don't understand
I'm lvl 6
And I have ADHD and learning disabilities so I don't learn stuff that well or easily and I don't understand stuff easily sorry

Maybe I should look for a guild so I can get in game help and stuff

[smoky stag]

play summit or countdown mode
choose what you want to farm

[dense willow]

@smoky stag
So those are game modes and I can pick what I wanna get for a reward?
I don't know much about the guns and stuff in the game or waht weapons are good and such

[smoky stag]

yes

[dense willow]

@smoky stag
Oh that's cool thanks

-Soviet anthem intensifies-

[fossil tartan]

germans did that (too) in WWII.. 😢

[azure lintel]

So did the Japanese, although that was with soldiers and not dogs

[plush otter]

there is a line in the outcast controllers death screen text that implies the original idea for those outcast controllers wasnt that rc with chainsaw, but a dog taht would attack you for them

[lethal dome]

just for your information, you just unlock higher difficulties when you reach max level (level30 without WONY dlc, level40 with DLC) iirc, ofc

[plush otter]

also it was the germans, the russians and the japanese that had dogs trained to be explosives carriers, with very poor effects in the field the wiki article is a interesting read:

Dont be host
Join session while having ammo in mag and reserves. Safest is in white house shooting range due to massive bugs.
If host, get floor with alt, have someone hold it then log in nd join with farm character following same rules as previouslt stated

[sturdy cape]

anyone else encountered the occasional invulnerable enemy since the last update?

[azure lintel]

mmmm invulnerable?

maybe just lag?

[sturdy cape]

no other signs of lag have been present, just the odd enemy like just now I blasted them in the chest with a golden bullet buffed pestilence and their health/armour bar didn't budge

[peak vessel]

Hi! 👋
I have autism and ADD so I feel you. I'm also new to the game, currently at lvl 11, my best tips for you is to try and watch YouTube videos about the game (hopefully there's some that actually can explain it in a way that we can understand) 😊
Take care! 🫂

[sturdy cape]

had one of those explosive RC cars chase me down that did the same thing, took no damage

[bitter wraith]

OK. I STILL NEED THAT CHESTPIECE but should I just use weapon damage instead of armour because honestly I'm going to end up deleting the game if I keep farming for something I will never get

It's a fenris AR build - PVP

Could always switch chestpiece once the game actually gives me what I want not everything else lmao

[smoky stag]

Packet loss

[sturdy cape]

so i was just taking a control point, only 1 enemy wouldn't take damage. switch targets, can take down others no issue. switch back, bugged target still bugged. doesn't seem network related to me

[cedar ivy]

chests and backpacks are a bugger for sure

[sturdy cape]

oh? what have you noticed?

[elder badger]

yeeee, got shd 1000.

it took 422 hours, according to uplay.

[dense willow]

@lethal dome
Oh OK thanks for the help
Yeah I have the dlc too

[lethal dome]

But yeah, only way to get "good gear" before level30 is just use whatever is better, since any gear later on will be way more useful/powerful

[still juniper]

I just had some burger king

Also, I get home tomorrow, so I plan to grind for an mmr

What mmr do you guys recommend?

[unkempt sparrow]

why does fire disorient now

[sturdy cape]

the Mantis and i think it's called the White Death are my 2 favourites. mainly the mantis tho

[still juniper]

White death is the wooden stock m44 right?

[vapid breach]

I think I’m gonna have to take a week off after the event is over to grieve. This is like the most fun gaming I’ve had in yeeeaaarrrsss

[plush blaze]

Does Pulse count as a status effect to enemies for ongoing directive?

[unkempt sparrow]

nope

only emp does

[granite zephyr]

Is foam status affect? In general

[unkempt sparrow]

oh and banshee

[vapid breach]

Yes it is one

Basically anything you can eclipse is a status effect

[granite zephyr]

Hmmm yes, creeping death+ BTSU gloves and full skill build to stun lock enemies non stop

So it is possible

[vapid breach]

Why not just eclipse with riot foam and banshee?

[granite zephyr]

I was thinking bout that

But I'm short of Eclipse

Except for one mask I got from a friend

[vapid breach]

Gear sets are sooo much easier to farm than brand sets. Takes one game of countdown for a really decent set

[still juniper]

Also, what gear set should I run in a skill build

[vapid breach]

What kind of skill build lol

[still juniper]

I'm thinking the old one where one skill running out refreshes the other

[still juniper]

Damage

[vapid breach]

I use a brand set for explosives, it’s empress 3 piece, Cesar’s guard, Force multiplier and waveform exotic holster

Basically infinite seekers on challenging and below and very powerful on legendary. I use cluster seeker and artillery turret

[still juniper]

Waveform is the one with the fluctuating bonus right

[vapid breach]

Yes, and test subject is very important in that loadout

[still juniper]

Test what now

[vapid breach]

Gun with perfect in sync

[still juniper]

And that does what exactly

[vapid breach]

:P you have the Google doc link?

[still juniper]

The what

[vapid breach]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTJEX5DerCvOj3a_m36TRy1gPBAUvrduOIdmXI9j1Y0MpQk1wIXaZ9KOcPa7HzXzp_N5qGmjDj6yEfL/pubhtml#

[still juniper]

The hell is that

[vapid breach]

Great reference for all named items in the game

[still juniper]

Also, what kinds if skills should I run, maybe a sniper turret and a drone?,

[sturdy cape]

the capacitor exotic AR is worth a look for skill builds too. gets +weapon damage from yellow cores and boosts skill damage more than the test subject once you build stacks

[still juniper]

The 20% damage bonus one seems good

[still juniper]

Cap is an obvious choice

[vapid breach]

Ooo wasn’t there an argument in here recently about how the test subject is better?

[still juniper]

Idgaf which is better. The exotic is cooler

[sturdy cape]

test subject gets its max buff after 1 bullet so hits its max buff faster, peak damage buff comes from the capacitor tho

[vapid breach]

And I agree. In any situation where the seekers aren’t infinitely repeating, I just can’t see myself poking out of cover with such a squishy class. I can just fire 3 bullets of my test subject every second and wham - combined arms + perfect in sync

[still juniper]

I'm going to be honest

[vapid breach]

Blind fire at that

[still juniper]

Fuck that

Ooh, I could make a shield build

Doesn't bulwark give some major bonus to shields?

[vapid breach]

I’m gonna make a foundry bulwark after the event is over.

It’s next on the list for sure

[still juniper]

What's bulwarks 4 piece buff again?

[vapid breach]

Google doc

[still juniper]

Whats that do, buff skills far away from you?

Just naming the effect isn't helpful

[vapid breach]

lol

That was me telling you to use the google document

[still juniper]

The what

[sturdy cape]

bulwark's abilities focus on armour and shield regen iirc

[fiery cloud]

Hope everyone's having a good gaming session

[still juniper]

What's it's 4 piece bonus

[still juniper]

Same to you

[vapid breach]

In the build advice channel, there’s a pin for a spreadsheet, as well as the link I put in chat.

[still juniper]

A fucking what?

[vapid breach]

When I don’t want to open my game but decide on builds, that’s what I use for reference.

Alrighty, time for another main mission!

[still juniper]

Well that was no help

[quick wolf]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nrPBmOrtpkEW1j5fbcRT7L-AXgsGOqMqxXoVtopsiGM/edit#gid=1380412817
Look at the gear set tab, mate.

[craggy pond]

When doing a new character. Do you have to do all the control points or get all the SHD caches before doing the final mission?

[quick wolf]

Only if you don't boost. If you boost, you skip all of DC.

[craggy pond]

I did boost. But I can't do the final mission

[sturdy cape]

only need to be level 40 to do the final mission

those projects are optional

[craggy pond]

I'm level 40 and it just says "Required mission not completed"

[quick wolf]

Wait, which final mission are you referring too? WoNY or DC?

[sturdy cape]

the one on the left of the map, i forget its name. i think you have to do that one

[still juniper]

What is that

[craggy pond]

Liberty Island

[sturdy cape]

camp clinton? not sure

[craggy pond]

To get the watch

[quick wolf]

It's a spreadsheet with info? Use it if you need quick info on something you don't know.

[still juniper]

Theres just a link, no image of a spreadsheet

[quick wolf]

Buddy... click the link.

[sturdy cape]

lol

[still juniper]

Can't, on mobile

[azure lintel]

Whoever told me last night that the demolition isn’t worth it, I heeded your advice and chose the Tac-50

[quick wolf]

Well, then click it when you're on desktop, idk.

What was it you wanted? Info on the 4p Foundry?

Makeshift Repairs:
Whenever you or your shield take damage,
20% of that amount is repaired to both over 15s.

Demolitionist can be good if used correctly.

Like the people running mortar builds that just nuke AIs 24/7 and give their teammates motion sickness.

[sturdy cape]

man the screen-shake from that is truly obnoxious

[quick wolf]

It gets better when you're the only one not running mortar. And maybe trying to use a sniper build.

[sturdy cape]

oh come now, surely you can hit headshots while i violently slap your mouse around on your desk

[still juniper]

Thanks man

I need a good gear set for a shield build

Should I go for skill tiers or blue tiers, since both apply to shields

[quick wolf]

Blue for dedicated tanking. Yellow if you want to hybridize with your other skills. You can go full into one or the other, or a mixture of both.

[sturdy cape]

i prefer blue cores so that i'm tanky as well as my shield

[still juniper]

I want to rely mainly on my shield, with my other skill as a fallback

[quick wolf]

Problem with that. See most dedicated tanks will have their second skill slot solely for the technician's spec hive. Why? Because it periodically heals their shield.

For quite the amount too.

So if you want a fallback option, you're practically outa luck playing as a dedicated tank.

[still juniper]

Ok then, I'll go hybrid

Also, is there a full auto, smgesque pistol?

[quick wolf]

93R is as close to that as you can get.

[still juniper]

The what

Sharps pistol?

[azure lintel]

I’ve turned my Jugg build I had last night into a skillfully hasted tank, 100k armor 30k HP level 6 skill tier

[quick wolf]

My guy, it's the burst fire sidearm.

[sterile stirrup]

anyone else's game is crashing and dropping frames ?

[still juniper]

That one

[quick wolf]

Yes. That one. The 93R.

That's as close to full auto as it gets for side arms.

[sturdy cape]

the liberty exotic deagle has some shield regen ability iirc

[dapper crater]

crash and screen freeze are my common issues

[sterile stirrup]

mine started doing that last night for the first time smh

[azure lintel]

How do I get upgrade points for specializations

[quick wolf]

Liberty builds stacks with each hit landed. Hitting a headshots uses up all the stacks regen your shield's hp by 3% per stack.
It's a fine gun for tanks, but the stack building is slow so it requires at least decent judgement as for when to use the stacks up.

[sturdy cape]

yeah cheers, that. i liked that ability a lot, it's just been a while

[dapper crater]

im facing these issues every time i play == my heart so tired

[dapper crater]

some bountry mission will get it... cp, invaded mission and up lv will get it

[azure lintel]

Ok

[sturdy cape]

which bounties do/dont give spec points? i couldn't never work that out

[quick wolf]

You can see the reward list for each bounty and it should say right there if you get any spec points or not.

[sturdy cape]

good call, thanks that's useful. do you know why some do or dont tho?

[quick wolf]

Couldn't say. Could be by design, could be a bug. Though I'm guessing it's the former. Maybe they wanted to limit the amount of points players get so they don't just speed run the content.
Only other reason I can think of is it being tied to daily bounties only. And if that's not the case, then your guess is as good as mine.

[sturdy cape]

yeah i thought it might have been the bounties you loot from hostage rescue etc didn't count but i remember trying a hard difficulty one i definitely hadn't looted and no points. dunno, mysterious

[quick skiff]

Did they nerf floor 10?

[sterile badge]

hello all, quick question about countdown... if you do not already have a specific exotic, can it drop in CD as focused loot?

I'm trying to get the cayote mask but it never drops and the vile drops over and over

[azure lintel]

Oh my god I have 1886 and I’m in love

[vague swift]

Were did my message go?

Yup that's what I thought

[quick skiff]

Fun fact, golden bullet + minigun = unlimited ammo

[flint crater]

Just have mask as targeted loot and sacrifice a bottle of mountain dew to the RNG gods

[quick wolf]

Golden Bullet + Vector = Handheld M61 Vulcan

[sterile badge]

right on, that works for me, I just wanted to make sure it could drop if I was targeting it without actually having one in my inventory already

[flint crater]

I'd assume so. I went for memento a few days ago. Never had it before and just set loot to backpacks. Took like 6 runs but I finally got it

Just wish countdown gave more xp. Loot is amazing though

[sterile badge]

agreed

I'd seen conflicting info regarding what can and will drop

glad to hear there is a chance without it already in my stash

at this point I don't even remember why I want it lol

[viscid cargo]

Cant have everything

[viscid cargo]

Its undoubtebly one of if not the best solo backpack in the game

[sterile badge]

nah, we were talking cayote, not momento

and I'm still on the fence about a build for momento

sorry, I'm too noob for that

I was a very well experienced TD1 player and now just a returning TD2 player with about a month back in

only 310 hours and left when I had like 200

about a month or so after launch, maybe 2

but didn't stick around for long at all

[azure lintel]

is the game itill worth buying ?

[sterile badge]

not like TD1 where I had 2k hours right around the time they announced TD2

and yes, the game is amazing right now

specially if you can get a deal or discount

[azure lintel]

ezy to fine a greoup for a new player ?

[viscid cargo]

There is a short list of exos that don’t drop at all, being eagle bearer, ravenous and regulus, and a few that requires a craft first, being ridgeways Pride, nemesis, chatterbox, liberty as well as the bighorn, that drops exclusively on legendary

[sterile badge]

yes

[azure lintel]

kk ty

[sterile badge]

good info bean, much appreciate it

[viscid cargo]

I mean same still applies. Best mask by far for a critbuild

[sterile badge]

for now I've got most of what I want but that cayote elludes me

[viscid cargo]

Ive heard coyote herself has a higher droprate for coyotes mask, so if masks are targeted you could give jefferson a go

[blazing ocean]

is expertise useful for anything if not upgrading after leveling to rank 10 for bonuses?

[waxen herald]

Is the jacket thats disabled rn going to come out later on in the event?

[elfin hazel]

this tuesday

[unreal shuttle]

What is countdown? ran into some dude in the DZ and he told me to stop wasting my time there and go to Countdown. I played the game year 1 & 2 and just hopped back on today. Kinda lost.

[stone wind]

Newest game mode where you go do objectives with a raid-sized group at a nuclear powerplant.

It's the best game mode to farm gear.

[unreal shuttle]

I loaded into one and everyone left, is that usual?

[azure lintel]

Probably disconnect bug

[unreal shuttle]

Ahh, I see.

[buoyant spruce]

How hard is it to get DZ gear?

Im wanting to get named weapons but im not one for pvp

[elfin hazel]

farm countdown for its credits and buy named caches

[stone wind]

Pretty much most gear and weapons can be earned through CD

[keen hawk]

Can anyone explain how to get items with gear score on ps4, i'm lvl 40 with shd 237, I'm world teir 6 and theres no option to level up my crafting bench and shit. Whenever I want to do something with my weapons in the crafting bench it requires the item to be over 250+ GS, which somehow I have without seeing the GS on it.

[stone wind]

I think any weapon at level 40 is above 250 automatically

[keen hawk]

well, none of my items show gearscore on them AT ALL

[dreamy topaz]

I could be the booster if you used it. All i know is that there's no gear score if youre above lvl 30

[keen hawk]

ok, then that explains why there is no gear score showing up in my menu

[vapid breach]

You just don’t see one. I didn’t boost and I don’t have it anymore. You just don’t have great score after 40. It’s not relevant anymore.

[keen hawk]

ahhhh, why is this not a thing anymore???!?

[plush blaze]

Do the hunters in countdown just not drop your targetted loot as named items or something?

[azure lintel]

yeah dont think the targeted loot system works for their drops, just random named items

or if it does it just applies the same rng as getting the named item for any regular enemy

[keen hawk]

what are things I should do before opening the box requireing the 8 ivory keys?

[azure lintel]

is it worth getting back into the game

[sturdy cape]

🤨

[crisp ocean]

You have to complete the hunters in DC and NY/DC to unlock the boxes

[plush blaze]

can Nightwatcher roll with headshot damage off a drop

[waxen herald]

I dont see why it wouldnt

[sullen holly]

Yo got 1 question what is the best way to farm exotic atm?

[azure lintel]

can any one help me? I’m looking for a few different ways, I j started a couple days ago and I have a pretty solid dps build and I play solo preferably something simple bc I probably won’t understand it lol

[sturdy cape]

help with what exactly?

[azure lintel]

my bad I’m tired, I meant farming xp

[median dove]

hey guys how is the pvp in this game ? ireally enjoyed td1 doing the DZ was cool as .. just wondering if its worth picking up a copy of this purely for pvp ?

[sturdy cape]

i just do open world activities with as many directives on as workable

[azure lintel]

so far for my experience toxic

[modest lintel]

yes pvp is still enjoyable here. But for most players here, they would avoid pvp as they getting killed too often

[azure lintel]

if I show u my build can u tel me what I should do to it?

as of rn I have a full dps and it’s working for me pretty well

[median dove]

dying a lot is fine , im pretty stubborn so if i get the gear and work at it .. should bbe fine im just checking if the player base is there and if its still fun oonce you put the work in

[modest lintel]

but u need to farm to find different build that you want.

for the amount of players in dz, depending on time zone, regions and servers

[sturdy cape]

describe it in here i'm sure you'll get a bunch of suggestions

[azure lintel]

post it in #td2-build-advice

[modest lintel]

well, i have fun in dz, conflict n farming gears. But not f10, make u braindead

[azure lintel]

reason there's a channel

[bitter wraith]

Why do I have the world's worst RNG?

Been farming for more than 4 days and still no unbreakable piece with the stats I actually want

[peak crypt]

what stats you looking for?

[bitter wraith]

Fenris Chestpiece with umbreakble and BOTH crit chance AND crit damage

Literally the only stats and talent combination I HAVEN'T got since Tuesday

[peak crypt]

I have bad luck with fenris as well. everytime it has 2 reds one is weapon handling.

[bitter wraith]

But why is the RNG so bad compared to div 1 where it is actually semi balanced?

[viscid cargo]

Remember that you can skip 1 of those rolls since you can recal

Also make sure you’re on the highest difficulty you can handle, as it increases the rolls

[bitter wraith]

Literally why I only go into the dz to shred people now. Don't even bother with dz farming. Belongs in div 1 and div 1 only

[bitter wraith]

I am. Countdown.

I think?

[hybrid ore]

The fact that I ran Lex' over 50 actual times before I got a single Barret's Exotic, says that the system in div2 is somewhat better.

I believe the total count was somewhere close to high 70's.

Sure as hell didn't take me 70+ tries to get a Coyotes.

[bitter wraith]

I might honestly just use the other vest, optimise it then switch over IF I ever get one with both crits + unbreakable so I can lock armour over the current red core

-170k armour but I guess I have no choice

UNLESS I forget about this build and rebuild the all red shotty one which is far easier to make

Since this is a tank/drill combo whereas the other one is just to mess about + kill everyone

[bitter wraith]

In div 2 if you set your targeted to chest, it'll give you a fenris with braced instead of your desired tardigrade armour chest ☠️

Although it will drop after 40 to 400k boss kills on chest TL because the devs are so generous

[hybrid ore]

And that's why you add on Directives, or do a mode like Countdown with more frequent enemy spawns.
Here, I'll pass you one of the 500 Tardigrades that I had before Proficiency. I built my own White House with them.

it's got a pool table.

[bitter wraith]

I think there should be categories for targeted loot - being able to increase the chance of getting a certain brand with a certain talent

[hybrid ore]

At the end of the day, div2 is a game about farming. We have systems in place to reduce some of the RNG with TL, Directives, etc, but after all that, it's still about RNG farming.
So just don't worry about it, get back in the game and farm some more.

[vapid crypt]

I could jump in and help you out if you wanna increase the odds

[bitter wraith]

I've farmed countdown - done at least 2 runs (with about 55% of them being fails because I get put with trash 1k SHD players) since the day after it was released. I switched to summit for 2 hours one day, got bored after doing another 70 to 85 boss kills on floor 40 and went back to countdown

And in that entire time since the second day of countdown existing? Not one fenris chest with unbreakable and the 2 different crits on it

[hybrid ore]

Sounds like you've had some bad luck.
but that's all it is: luck.

[bitter wraith]

Exactly

But it's ridiculous luck

[vapid crypt]

The increase of trash 1k+ shd players due to summit farming is wild

[peak crypt]

Sounds like you need a good luck charm.

[bitter wraith]

Like certain items have a 0.1% chance of dropping with 2x crit vest and UBLE being one of them...at least for me

[vapid crypt]

Always need one of these

[peak crypt]

Lol I just hit 1k in summit today.

[bitter wraith]

Even that can't rebalance how rigged the loot drop is

Even if it isn't rigged

[vapid crypt]

I hit 1k a while back, haven't gone up too much since then though

[peak crypt]

Took me almost 2 months lol

[viscid cargo]

Ok?

[bitter wraith]

OK I'm switching builds and indirectly still focusing on fenris if the other build just needs some mats to recal

[peak crypt]

But I have lots of maxed out builds

[vapid crypt]

Yea, I was stuck with the base game for a while due to the price. But once I got Warlords and got to about 200shd it became pretty easy again

[bitter wraith]

Is it ironic that my most tanky build that destroys AI rogues in open world and summit (and occasionally hunters if I trap them with foam) is my best overall build but also the first build I ever made for level 40?

Yet even HB is nothing compared to it

[vapid crypt]

It's like that a lot

[dapper crater]

hell yeah, farm floor 10 drop sweet dream

[hybrid ore]

It's not irony, no.

[vapid crypt]

Most builds that aren't mainstream are pretty decent

Better than meta ones in some cases

[bitter wraith]

Since it was my first build that I robbed off YouTube and its the BEST PVE build I have it kinda Is (I'm trash at making builds)

[hybrid ore]

This actually hurts to read.

I need to go get a drink.

[vapid crypt]

lmao

[peak crypt]

I was using a pretty fun build for the event. tip of the spear with gunner and bloodsucker.

[vapid crypt]

My favourite overall has to be tanky dps with clutch

[bitter wraith]

Game: oh so you want fenris Chestpiece with certain talent and specific stats? Best I can do is 4 random exotics that you already have and will just give to your friend. Here's 2 SDs shotguns as compensation

Me: ://

[peak crypt]

I tried clutch with it but my build had to many reds. blood sucker stacked up nice though after getting the magic bullet.

[bitter wraith]

Literally imperial dynasty then bluescreen then tardigrade then imperial again then Bullet King then tardigrade then imperial again all within 20 minutes

And still no fenris

💀

[dapper crater]

true, my TL set assault rifle but drop sweet dream for me

TL bugged

[bitter wraith]

More like TL opposite items

[hybrid ore]

wait wait wait, @bitter wraith are you using Chest TL to find a Fenris chest?

[bitter wraith]

No I'm using fenris TL to find a fenris chest with specific stats

If it isn't a chest I scrap it without even looking at the stats

[hybrid ore]

oh good, lots of newer players make the mistake.
to be clear for anyone reading this:

If named/brand: brand.```

[bitter wraith]

Think I used to do that at level 25 then I realised the branded TL is less items so higher chance

[hybrid ore]

That is literally the reason, yeah. Smaller pool = better chance.
At the end of the day, finding a part with the exact stats you need it pretty unlikely, so run stuff in a team. Ask for someone to pass that over, and most will because, well, it's kinda an odd combo choice to begin with.

[bitter wraith]

impossible

Especially with randoms

[hybrid ore]

#lfg-xbox enjoy.

[bitter wraith]

True. But you need 7 for CD so even though you probably won't get 7 people to help its still easier to MM

[hybrid ore]

Throw together a quick HB+Coyotes+Ceska BP build in the meantime to run Countdown.
then farm out whatever you want out of it.

[viscid cargo]

HF scorpio also works wonders

[dense harbor]

Gm ✌️ sup guys?

[tropic compass]

Are most people playing golden bullet this week?

[azure lintel]

Are there any chc core attributes for ar's?

[oblique pine]

appreciate it!

[bitter wraith]

Not cores no

[fluid perch]

im very new only level 15, is it better to sell the junk i pickup or disassemble it?

[surreal charm]

Good day there. Just a question regard the expertise level. There are some items which cannot be farmed in TD2 anymore or which are not in the expertise. Do you have any plans to clean this or do you want us to put the materials into it?

[frozen meadow]

all items except the seasonals and ruthless/lullaby can be farmed

[tender wave]

Enforcer can't if you don't already have it, Stinger is tricky (requires friend referral), and the regular (not police or tactical) UMP only drops in the story and not in endgame.

I don't think they'll clean them though, they already removed the Hydden gloves a while back, I doubt they'll remove anything else. Just use materials.

[viscid cargo]

What items are you referring to?

[elfin hazel]

regular UMP not dropping in L40 should be fixed soon™

[plush otter]

personally i think selling is more worth it starting out, resources you will get plenty of from running around in the open world and looting everything, but at some point you will need some credits to craft mods and upgrade the bench and such, but also in the long term its not that important,
also sometimes its worth it to buy a good weapon if you havent had one drop in several lvls, as lvl matters most for how much dmg a weapon does

[fluid perch]

thanks!

[unkempt sparrow]

is bluescreen bugged rn?

[cosmic hare]

Has Ubi/Massive acknowledged the CPU Temp and GPU Power Draw issues since 15.2?

[uncut palm]

hows the game so far any major updates?

[kind pulsar]

Except for Countdown, no major update so far. I'm personally waiting for the next season to drop.

[hybrid ore]

@uncut palm new Season, Countdown is pretty great, new Manhunt and an addition to the story.
Pretty good, we're about to get more stuff around the start-mid of next Month.

[severe current]

Next Season includes new Countdown difficulties, Legendary Missions for Tidal Basin and Manning National Zoo, and more manhunt. Story is getting pretty good and the manhunts are no longer exponentially increasing in length with each addition throughout the season. Few crash fixes as well. It's in a solid place right now.

[silent nymph]

Yeah i gotta agree with you here but the apparel events we're really a bit disappointing here because they we're delayed for so long here but other than that it's a good season

[fierce quarry]

Is any1 on I just need to join you rq my game is being glitchy it fast on ps4

[stoic frost]

i always wondered why snipers don't have there own category

[dapper crater]

you mean weapon category?? is Marksman Rifle

[stoic frost]

yuppers

[blissful bridge]

why do we need new things?cant we just make things that arn't used as much like for instance a grupo piece on a dps build can we get more viability with this "content" maybe even tweak a few skills make some actually useful besides a shield and a revive hive please?

all i ask is that

dont seem too hard to do

and less stuff for y'all to prepare

/think of

hopefully the new gear isn't just a rip off of another set just made even better

[lament mirage]

HB be like

[blissful bridge]

ikr lol

especially when it first came out

i dont think there was anyone who didnt abuse it

[lament mirage]

I didn't

I did farm for it tho

[cerulean sparrow]

Question. WhT shd lvl should I be for countdown and what gear should I use. Every time I try I don't do any dmg

[blissful bridge]

i hope they instead fix / tweak with what gear and skills and just things we already have in the game not add a bunch more stuff to then find out its not even good or good enough rto compete with top dmg talents

[blissful bridge]

all that depends on is your stats on your gear

if you have red , blue or yellow

[cerulean sparrow]

What stats are used

I usually run the bulwark set with tardigrade

[blissful bridge]

do you have red, blue or yellow attributes / stats

speaking that you just said that im guessing your have at least 2-3 blues or yellows

with at the most 1 red with your build atm

more weapond dmg more dmg your going to do

[cerulean sparrow]

Wdym by those colors

[blissful bridge]

red

is for dmg

blue is for defense

[cerulean sparrow]

Then probably mostly blue

[blissful bridge]

yellow is for skills

[cerulean sparrow]

No yellow lol

[blissful bridge]

then thats exactly why you dont do dmg

[cerulean sparrow]

I was doing spear of the tip but was dying to fast

[blissful bridge]

well really what it comes down to is how are you and where are you shooting at enemies from

this game is no div 1

you gotta sit in cover

[cerulean sparrow]

Nvm played the 1st one

[blissful bridge]

or sit in faces w dmg

if you go for a crit build

try and get as close to 50% crit hit chance

and then go for as much crit hit dmg as ya can

[cerulean sparrow]

Is that from attributes or the gear mods

[blissful bridge]

thats the best thing you can do

both

[cerulean sparrow]

Ok

[sturdy cape]

a full squad isn't required to complete a countdown run, just contribute as best you can and dont die too much. also dont use offensive deployable skills like turret/drone around hunters as they'll hack them. otherwise just jump in, it'll be fine imo

[cerulean sparrow]

And what gear set do u recommend me do the.crit build with

[blissful bridge]

well

i have a m1a build i can show you \

[cerulean sparrow]

Ok

[blissful bridge]

actually i cant forgot i deleted the game lol

[cerulean sparrow]

Oh

[blissful bridge]

but run fox prayer

1 piece grupo

3 piece prov

gift if you have one

run glass cannon w vigilance

hence the gift being used

[cerulean sparrow]

What is gift

Never heard of it

[blissful bridge]

the best named backpack you can get

[cerulean sparrow]

And what weapons would be good with it

[blissful bridge]

any weapons with good rolls

i have a merciless m1a build i hit 2-4 mill per shot w m1a

[cerulean sparrow]

The best one I can think of I have is lady death all God roll

[blissful bridge]

about 1-2 w merciless

but when my merciless talent pops i shit on bosses

[desert crystal]

? does the top part of GWH only spawn during the mission

[cerulean sparrow]

And ik I sound like a noob when asking these but what is m1a

[blissful bridge]

one of the top rifles

[cerulean sparrow]

Is it called that

[blissful bridge]

you have a cqb ma1 and one other i forget the name

they say m1a

[zinc shadow]

classic?

[blissful bridge]

idk how you have gotten this far without knowing any of this

[cerulean sparrow]

I'll have to ask one of my clan members then lol

[blissful bridge]

ah yes ty

[wheat zinc]

Socom

[blissful bridge]

also whassup webkins

lol

[zinc shadow]

not much just listening to music thanks

[blissful bridge]

hows div 1 disc these days?

[cerulean sparrow]

@blissful bridge thanks for the tips I will try it out later

[zinc shadow]

pretty active, lot of lil noobs asking questions 😛

[blissful bridge]

yeah just make sure your dps pieces of gear have crit crit weapon dmg

[cerulean sparrow]

I will thanks

[blissful bridge]

if they dont have those dont use them and get anopther piece

[blissful bridge]

i bet i miss that server

not like im missing much being a pvp nerd

[cerulean sparrow]

U guys enjoy your sunday

[blissful bridge]

u too

aint no pvp on pc

got on and it was a ghost town

beside the normal speed hacks n walls

[zinc shadow]

are there hackers in PvP survival too?

[blissful bridge]

too bad ruben decided to ban me with no warning

and yes sometimes

nowhere is safe

besides in a cp or in the terminal

[zinc shadow]

very sad, i remember when i got muted without warning :/ (but we shouldn't talk about server drama i don't think 🙃)

[blissful bridge]

ye

just hope one day the guy will unban me

[blissful bridge]

let the ubi staff see this and pass it on

[zinc shadow]

played any other good games recently?

[blissful bridge]

besides wildlands from game pass nope nothing else really

well

carx

but thats it

[zinc shadow]

well wildlands is pretty good so I've heard

I've been playing Halo recently (not the multiplayer tho)

[blissful bridge]

yeah its good when the game wants to actually put me in the squad with my friends

had almost a whole week where i couldnt even connect to online on there

lmao

[zinc shadow]

goobisoft strikes again

[blissful bridge]

fr

with this new "content" in div 2 i cant wait to hear what shit they decide to add thats broken asf first week

then nerf immediately then it becomes just another striker

what a goobisoft thing to do.

[unkempt sparrow]

wish there was a defense gamemode

every mission makes you constantly move through areas

[blissful bridge]

yeah that would be cool and all

[unkempt sparrow]

div 1 had it with pier and stuff, resistance mode

[blissful bridge]

but ubi dont care what me n you got to say

[blissful bridge]

that in div 2

[unkempt sparrow]

nope

[blissful bridge]

if i had a self heal i could pop

holy i would actually think about loading the game up for once

[unkempt sparrow]

carrier pier 93 and powerhouse

reclaimer was fun

[blissful bridge]

popping a heal while aimed was fun

having a self heal was fun

having a build in div 2 is so dumb

they shouldnt even call it a build

[unkempt sparrow]

lol

[blissful bridge]

you can call div 1 without 6p classy, builds

especially when you can activate gun talents and they be popped

not oh i switched off of the weapon i popped said telent with now i dont get shit cus i switched weapons

legit makes 0 sense

[unkempt sparrow]

lol

[blissful bridge]

shit like that just makes the game less div imo

more just ah sit in cover and shoot

[azure lintel]

is dark zone target loot still bugged?

[azure lintel]

Where’s the best place to find scorchers? I need 10 of them

[plush otter]

its the outcast flame thrower ladies, outcast missions and CP's are your easiest choices, but any outcast content will have a few sprinkled in

[plush otter]

yeah, still broken, no eta on fix yet,

[azure lintel]

Thank you

[royal whale]

is that for one of the field specialization challenges?

iirc I did Roosevelt Island for that. Mid way through the mission there is an elite named outcast. You can do the mission on easy/normal. Kill the boss and wipe and she will spawn again. Easy to get 10 kills that way, unless you mean something else lol

[azure lintel]

Yes first stage of Firewall

Haven’t found a single scorcher yet

[royal whale]

do Roosevelt Island and you'll finish it in 5 mins tops

[smoky stag]

theres an outcast control point near lincoln iircx

shipwreck something its called

[azure lintel]

I can’t do Roosevelt Island, it’s got Black Tusk for me now

[royal whale]

you can toggle mission type and it will change to Outcast on PC it's G key, no idea what it's for console

[azure lintel]

That’ll be available after I beat it the first time

I just got all this last night

[feral idol]

man i can't get my event caches because all of these crashes

kills my will to play :/

[azure lintel]

8 more to go

[deep berry]

is g2a legit to buy divivon 2

[kind pulsar]

Idk, never really trusted G2A for my games. I'd consider looking up and see if it's safe first, and also legit as well.

[royal whale]

https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/help/purchases-and-rewards/article/approved-digital-distributors-of-ubisoft-games/000079502
TLDR No

[kind pulsar]

I'm doubting it's even a good idea to to say the least.

[feral idol]

don't listen to them, buying from a reputable reseller on g2a is as safe as anyother storefront, ubisoft just doesn't get your money

which could be considered a good thing lol

[royal whale]

Should you choose to purchase a Ubisoft game from a disreputable or questionable online retailer, you may receive an invalid or illegally-obtained key, which could end up being revoked.
Your choice at the end of the day. But you never know if you bought a game code from Sergey who used a stolen credit card

[kind pulsar]

🤦 is there any proof of your statement? It's a sketchy website

[feral idol]

never had an issue with buying from a highly rated reseller

[bright basin]

I've heared from multiple sources that some of those keys might be stolen, which I don't mind in case of some developers but devs I really want to support/want the game to keep on going I will buy from them whenever I can. I bought quite a few keys from MMOGA or G2A and none where ever sketchy but that's just my experience. Your choice in the end

[deep berry]

how can they bve stolen

if someone registyer the key

the other's cann't

[feral idol]

not the games chief, the credit cards used to buy them

[deep berry]

stolen credit cards?

[flint crater]

whats the best SMG weapon perk to have for a HF build?

[kind pulsar]

In the end, G2A is not the best bet at buying games.
I've always recommended buying from the official game/dev websites. Might be more expensive but at least you'll be safe.

[royal whale]

You heard of Phishing right? No different from those idiots who click random discord links and have their Steam account hi-jacked.

[bright basin]

^

[kind pulsar]

Exactly.

[deep berry]

Bru i've heard

[deep berry]

That's just them who is idiots

[kind pulsar]

It could happen to most.

[deep berry]

Press this link for free discord nitro

Just stupid ppl belive that

tbh thats their fault

[bright basin]

doesn't matter if they are stupid to click the link. Fact is those keys are stolen, someone got robbed and the scammer is supported by you buying those keys

[unkempt sparrow]

that's their fault for logging in

[deep berry]

well how do you know that they're scammers in the first place

[bright basin]

it's an ethical question in that case, also if the devs get that information they can just ban the account/remove your bought licence

[deep berry]

Have you faced any problems on that?

[bright basin]

@deep berry you don't that's the whole point. Idk if those keys where scammed or just cheaply bought, I didn't have any issue but there are more than enough people who had no such luck and wasted their money

[flint crater]

I've bought at least a dozen things from CDkeys and never had an issue. Even got a free game cause they didnt deliver the code fast enough

[bright basin]

tbh if I already buy from such a site it's probably for a game I just wanna test out or I don't like the dev so I couldn't care less about that bit of money

[royal whale]

Even trustpilot can be manipulated just like Yelp reviews 😄

[potent chasm]

Did they fix floor 10?

[bright basin]

@potent chasm nah still works

[royal whale]

It's like Keener said. who can you trust, do you Trust Faye Lau? I chose yes and then I got stabbed in the back

-_-

[potent chasm]

Gotcha, must've just been a crappy RNG run cause I didn't get anything for one go around

[kind pulsar]

I don't even know why we are arguing on that. These websites are sketchy, if you're lucky to never have gotten a ban by purchasing these or anything else, it's your luck. Not everyone would have that luxury though and I will not bet my bank info on that to back up my claim.

[bright basin]

@potent chasm if you clear the whole room and down yourself you don't get loot, that's the exp strat, if you return to lobby after killing the boss you'll always get another room and loot

[royal whale]

Maybe he did Floor 10 on Normal Difficulty 🤔

[bright basin]

[deep berry]

Yh just seen some sources that some of the keys is stolen

[plush otter]

also the whole thing is moot as its barely any cheaper to buy the game on g2a over buying it on sale from any actual normal online store,

[kind pulsar]

Same. Seen lots of people saying that.

[bright basin]

@plush otter idk bro sometimes I saved 25€ on a 60€ game 😆

[potent chasm]

I'm running it on heroic

[azure lintel]

7 left, getting there

[kind pulsar]

I mean... I know there could be a profit but still, it's iffy at best.

[bright basin]

Lets just say buying from those sites is UnEfical 😏

[royal whale]

When you say you didn't get anything, what were you expecting? Most people do it for XP on Heroic 9 Directives.

[plush otter]

its currently on sale for 17E on fanatical, a rebutable seller that isnt key reselling but is just a store, you got scammed as that is the normal sale price btw, around 20 E for the wony edition on sale

[hybrid ore]

Okay no one is saying that key seller sites don't sometimes steal keys with credit cards they also stole. At least I hope not.
Lets just head on back to div2 convo's.

[bright basin]

[kind pulsar]

[potent chasm]

I was expecting loot, like target stuff

I'm loving the XP, cause I'm running a few directives as well, thought it was also a way to get targeted stuff too

[bright basin]

DAMN YOU @royal whale ! Now I'm running around with an explosive build 🤣 and it feels gooooood 😏

[royal whale]

More Directives increases the chance of targeted loot. You should get some if you do it a few times.

[kind pulsar]

I wonder what kind of scenario we will have next season though. A new faction oriented season? New allies, enemies? New... Hunter lore? 😋

[potent chasm]

Gotcha, thanks

[unkempt sparrow]

imagine 16 player defense mode

[azure lintel]

I want a dog with machine gun on it

[kind pulsar]

Like what, White House defense with 16 players trying to survive against an almost endless amount of enemies rushing to it? I would love that.

[azure lintel]

Why does the BTSU get one and I don’t, I’m the division I have the backing of the US government

[royal whale]

Hopefully that is the new game mode 😉

[unkempt sparrow]

exactly

[kind pulsar]

Div2 deserves it's WSP game mode honestly

[full zinc]

If floor 10 you should get the target loot on level up reward if I'm not mistaken. Hit or miss what drops otherwise. Also proficiency loot but that's not targetted

[unkempt sparrow]

we need a gamemode where you don't need to move to another area

[royal whale]

Like Resistance from Division 1. Pier 93 etc or like a Falcon Lost which was a little bit like Horde mode with increasing difficulty the more waves you did

[kind pulsar]

They could like, unlock a new DC area like up north of the white house where enemies would assemble, you could be doing open world activities just like Resistance and if you'd want to protect the White House, there would be a mode for it, going to a certain contact there would matchmake you to a game mode like Sonya said.

Honestly that would slap.

[royal whale]

Doesnt the real life White House have a missile launcher and some kind of insane machine gun on the roof. You could collect tools/materials from the field to upgrade it's defences to protect against a marauder attack

[potent chasm]

One final question, is Fox's Prayer DZ exclusive or no?

[kind pulsar]

Or... The hunters would have disabled all countermeasures of it. Lights as well. A real, spooky fight until the last wave.

[unkempt sparrow]

it has missile launchers on one of the buildings close by

[kind pulsar]

Night time stuff to add even more scary immersion to it

[zinc shadow]

spoitlights and shit, MW2 vibes

[kind pulsar]

Yep

[royal whale]

Black tusk and Hunters working together to steal that thing we got from the Pentagon mission

[kind pulsar]

Yeah that big thing next to the clan room

That would be a great Halloween special event for Div2 one day

[royal whale]

yes, whatever that thing is 😄

Like Codename nightmare was meant to be you mean?

Kenley College with zombies

[kind pulsar]

Codename nightmare?

[royal whale]

a scrapped game mode that was meant to be a Halloween event

[unkempt sparrow]

should have been a thing with resident evil collab

[kind pulsar]

Ohhh nono, just White House resistance, no lights whatsoever except for natural ones at night, gunfire, LEDS on characters and some other stuff, surviving waves until the last where the same amount of hunters than the player count in the server as it launches it, would appear still in the dark and you'd have to end them

[unkempt sparrow]

16 hunters 💀

lmao

[kind pulsar]

Kind of like a spookier version of Resistance basically

I MEAN

[unkempt sparrow]

scrape without sc

[kind pulsar]

😭

[unkempt sparrow]

hmm

[kind pulsar]

Might be too much for the average but you get my point right!

[unkempt sparrow]

there's the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center

[kind pulsar]

Hm, what's that?

[unkempt sparrow]

it's a massive military hospital

[kind pulsar]

What's your idea with it?

[unkempt sparrow]

maybe another stronghold

[kind pulsar]

But for which faction though? And it's located in which city? How would it help in the lore?

[unkempt sparrow]

it's in Washington D.C.

[zinc shadow]

damn Washington is bigger than I thought

[kind pulsar]

All these questions might look stupid I know but it's important to place a bit of lore in it to make sure it's not odd in game

[unkempt sparrow]

lmao and the town near it is named Bethesda

[kind pulsar]

TODD I SEE YOU

😩

[unkempt sparrow]

north bethesda lmao

since it's a medical center maybe we can get castle back(idk how it will work but)

[azure lintel]

I’m 6/10 and I’m out of Outcast control points and side missions

[kind pulsar]

We spoke of this a while ago, castle will not be back to its glory due to that DC-62 poison

[unkempt sparrow]

F

Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport

[kind pulsar]

But the True Sons could be involved somehow

Isn't the airport used for the Dark Hours raid already?

[unkempt sparrow]

oh is it

[kind pulsar]

Yeah if it has only one airport, then yeah

[unkempt sparrow]

oh it is

lmao

[kind pulsar]

haha but yeah I would love to go back to that old prologue town, i know it's stupid but I've looked afar in there, it's nicely modeled already, a nice new england small town

[zinc shadow]

that's the one in Dark Hours but there's also Andrews air force base nearby

[unkempt sparrow]

it's kinda far

[kind pulsar]

BTSU probably but two BTSU raids Iin airports would be too much, except of it's a new type of mission

And sorry for the typos, my phone's keyboard is having an autocorrect stroke

[unkempt sparrow]

I wonder where the next city will be

[zinc shadow]

I wonderrrr

[spice hamlet]

So...killing hunters then leaving is the new meta for countdown eh?

[unkempt sparrow]

lol wut

[flint crater]

I think people just DC and or crash alot

I crash all the time in Countdown

[distant imp]

i crashed the last few times i tryed countdown since patch

[flint crater]

it's pretty rare that 8 people make it to the end on PC lol

[distant imp]

got almost to the end and lost all the cd points

[unkempt sparrow]

there's always 7 left

[distant imp]

xbox 8 is avrage from the matches i was in

[azure lintel]

Ah shit, stage 2 is hard

[unkempt sparrow]

what stage 2

[azure lintel]

Firewall

[unkempt sparrow]

oh yeah

those take some time

[azure lintel]

Guess I’ll go open the last DZ and start Warlords

[plush blaze]

Did they change CLOSER to be increased WD from amp?

[flint crater]

Is heroic alot harder than Challenging? I can do challenging atm with a half maxed HF build, think I can do heroic?

[limber orchid]

So why is it so hard to fix crashing on pc? It's has been a issue for very long time. Countdown is just unplayable atm, the half teammates always crash lol
