The difficulty jump from Challenging to Heroic is probably the most noticeable. An easy way to find out if you can deal with it is to just try it. If you don't, keep working on your build a bit more and come back to Heroic at a later point.
yea just did a control point on Heroic. shit is definitely alot harder than challenging
got roasted 2 times in my HF build trying to clear it
Since I’m already level 30, boosting my character to World Tier 5 will still disable my character from earning achievements right?
and as soon as I left the safe house at the start, 2 rogue agents were waiting outside.
Ah yes random rogues
Heroic is a decent challenge though. Really gotta fight for CP's
I think so.
Little late for that I’ve already gone to New York
Oh... With the boost?
Yeah
It’s whatever, not like I’m missing out on anything
Hope you'll enjoy the New York DLC if you haven't played it yet!
hard to find a group to do anything besides fl10 on this game lol
just tryna go around and do heroic control points but thats not meta
Try calling for backup
that is what i do as well. i find a spot with TL that i wouldnt mind having, then do heroic things. i turn the map green. still good xp and i get materials and field recons. also fun for trying out builds.
does anyone know if there are any hunters i can kill not including the masks or top of summit
i literally need one hunter kill for ridgeways
Top of summit sorry
too bad CD no count. id just find a summit checkpoint and do that. i think ive got 97 checkpoint atm, but im on wrong platform
pain and suffering fr
No that's when you lvl a hard-core character and get killed buy a falling item
Did you run a clean navidia update
What is the actual FOV of the game at +25 in 16:9 on the slider?
you can do the schaeffer manhunt mission, there is a hunter in there that counts, you can toggle it on coney amusement park once you unluck it in the season track.
also the open world puzzle hunters count if you havent done those yet, if you arent far into the season to have the mission unlocked
The game is 6 years old, to be fair.
Does trauma proc Ongoing directive if you one hit an enemy in the head
since OD procs on kill, what causes the bleed doesnt matter
Lmao a other guy said it the other way around hahah but thnxs 🙂
doesnt hurt to do both.
schaeffer manhunt or find some1 who hasnt done the open world hunters
I swear lol, these loot goblins make me feel like I gotta act like I’m conducting a drug deal trying to give a noob an item with one max attribute
Well what I mean is the target has no status affects until Trauma hits head or body. So if a headshot one hits did it calculate that it would have been trauma'd or not first then give you the hollow points?
if you headshot it applies bleed, if you kill during the bleed, OD procs
Post an LFG in both gen-chat and the correct place? Yeah don't suggest that.
i assumed it was cool since he didnt get told off when he posted in gen last time 🤷
Guaranteed it's because one of us just didn't see it.
if trauma is on cooldown, then it doesnt cause a status, and doesnt proc OD
alr
Trauma applys bleed to the head?
nvm bleeds chest and blinds head iirc
so long since i used trauma
me when i see the therapist
you could use other sources though. seeker and stinger hive both cause bleed, ridgeways cause bleed with every single shot at <15m, banshee pulse disorient, EMP pulse disrupts ETC
i miss predator's mark, ridgeway aint doing it enough
as sniping I dont want people 15m in my face in this pvp
Okay so if you one hit something that doesnt already have the status effect on them you don't get hollow point
nope, they need to have it active to proc it
but if youre sniping, get a seeker mine, and just tap whatever NPC it explodes on,
or use another status skill
Best way to farm Nightwatcher? Is it countdown and pray a hunter drops it?
gila targeted loot.
Which missions drop pistols? I want an effective way to farm the d50
Check the target loot and see if any missions have it
Or play countdown and select pistol target loot
Can't do countdown yet
Is there anyway to check which mission has a certain loot?
what level are you
30 and 435 gear
I'll give it a go thanks
Are you trying to get a d50?
Yes
For the liberty ic
Yes
This does nothing
have you finished all the strongholds? if not you wont have access to targeted loot
I have and am at world tier 4
you havent, then
finish tidal basin and you'll have targeted loot
Oh I haven't done pre wony stuff in so long that I forgot that you need to beat tidal basin to get access to target loot 😅
i just gave some dh new guy his first eagle bearer, just how i got my first eagle bearer
i bet he will never raid again
are raids too hard or can I do them with randos and no mike? I would try to get me an eagle bearer myself
No mic is really needed, just have a basic understanding of the mechanics, listen to the Raid leader, and have a decent crit DPS build.
and let them know you are new.
DH needs no comms but IH does depending on role
Can be done without mics too, just requires more planning.
You'll be much better off with a mic.
ok, I'll leave it for a day I'm in the right mood I guess
@delicate zenith You've already posted in the right area, just gotta wait now.
mb
It's fun to use, although it does require a specific build to negate the bleed.
There's some over in #td2-build-advice > 📌 pinned-message > spreadsheet.
the bleed is irrelevant useing ninjabike
Or, more usefully, a HazPro setup.
i know, i figured id mention ninjabike negates reload
ninjabikes mag refill doesnt count as reloading
True, although not all that useful with Backfire, since it's an SMG and you're likely going to be too close for it to activate consistently while your Shield is out.
Like me with the Dark Winter, there's always that one weirdo who uses the NinjaKnees.
right Azur?
i just had some chicken between encounters, i explicitly said im eating dinner, and these guys still started it
like, wtf guys i just said ive got a basket of chicken
lol
I mean, as long as it was a friend group, then everyone taking a bathroom break then isn't a half bad idea.
If it's with randoms, yeah I can see the host not wanting to wait.
I love how useless the extra health with SHD levels is
lmao
if a guys got dinner, you wair
its plain rude not to, like, i cant just let my chicken get cold man
then dont get into a raid what
i couldnt know my mom was making chicken at like 6
it was damn good chicken though
ok thats fair but raids take some time so people don't want to wait around
Sometimes I worry about this place.
why
then there's times like this when I go "oh wait nvm, they know".
but mater doesnt need out
the lesson is, to never expect others to wait on you and move their schedule just for 1 person
dont waste peoples time
Your the one being rude, not them
stuff happens, dont get on their case about it
im surprised summit heroic is taking so long to matchmake, it used to be almost instant matchmaking
He's calling 7 other people rude because he went awol on them all of a sudden and just expected them all to wait, then jumped in here to complain about it. If he wants to come in here and complain about them, he's opening himself up for people to respond to that.
i didnt
the vast majority of Summit players nowadays are in full Floor 10 farm parties
whats the biggest scope that doesnt require a zoom
like, you can press tab to unscope
4x, but most people use the 3.4x since it gives chc
damn
i was hoping i could maybe get a 6x
also, i just gave someone their first ravenous
how is "boom" profanity according to the ingame filter bruh
what are the chances of the hunters dropping exotics on countdown?
Attempted pistol specific mission on Challenging twice for d50, got every pistol except the d50
I just hit 40 and finished the mission in NY... where should i begin to solo grind?
sorry.wrong channel!
@errant blade countdown is your friend
Is anyone available to do the target part for the last 4 hunters in NY?
what mmr is the mantis based off of
I got the blinky shoes 🎵
Can you get Scorpio in countdown?
yes
i got mantis as a fucking random drop, from floor 9s floor reward, on normal
what am i, a fucking leprechaun?
yes
Ok thank you
yes
yes or get someone to drop it for you
mp5A2 or P90 for HF?
At least
of those 2 the first is better
Took me like 6 or 7
but both suck, go mpx or banshee
hey eve, youve gotten nemi right?
Multiple
want to floor 10 farm mmrs?
No
damn
F10 boring
SIG MPX is the best non exotic SMG?
CD I'm cool with
isnt f10 wayyy better for exotics?
best smg period, the exotic ones aren't even good
I'm finishing my ice cream
what flavor?
Why VC lol is just cd
interesting
Chocolate chip cookie dough
nice
cause i have nobody to talk to
yea CD pretty brainless
Fair
im farming it rn for SMG's
I'm boring so
you cant be more boring than silence and gunfire
im socially awkward lol
you know if you dont want to vc you can just say so and not go into a long line of questioning right
lol\
also, ive taken a liking to the 12-16x scope
good scope
i like its decent zoom, cause 12x isnt bad for staying back and 16x is nice for focusing
and the hsd
imagine using a scope on a mmr 🙄
so ill take it you dislike vc and were just gonna run countdown
The only set back for me is the 45% headshot dmg... Otherwise i would gladly take that scope off 😂
I'm not seeing how the MPX is so good. I feel the P90 does its job better
smgs suck lets move on
Quick question do you have to be a certain level to go in the summit
Now u done broke my heart
40 I'm pretty sure
I presume 40... Cuz it unlocks after u finish WONY i think
I'm trying to find a good one for my HF build. I can't just not use an SMG
scorpio
lol im pissing people off rn
use fast hands, no other talent is better
yea thats my secondary
Honestly... Run double shotguns if u r tanky
ill just need to say dark winter and then everyone is pissed off
sweet dreams exists
Or run banshee smg if u r squishy
Time to sh1t on backfire and dark winter again.
Because of all the smgs they suck the most
me kinda likey the emelines guard tbh
Backfire is actually so baaaad
Backfire sucks
B-BUIT MY BLEED RESISTANCE BUIDL>?!?!?!
Trash it
IM GONNA CRYY 😭
idk ima just use the P90, ill take a slight DPS hit for the fact that I like the gun more
plus fuck SIG, like the gucci of guns
.
is there an Assault Rifle build that is more effective than HF?
Honestly i've been more enjoying the headhunter MM build than any other build rn
i use HB and get 15m with 3 blues
yea i have a HB build
One message removed from a suspended account.
no
One message removed from a suspended account.
I dont like the technicians launcher though. and HB is reliant on technician
i dont use technician i use firewall
HB isnt reliant on technician per se.
Its reliant on pulse. Tech just makes it convenient. If you cn hit headshots consistently then firewall is a stronger option
thats what i do
is HB the best AR build then?
no
aint no such thing as a "best build"
Best build is dark winter backfire bleed resist build. It turns you into a mod
none of the real mods are on rn dw
the ones you see rn are just bots/placeholders to make it look like this server is moderated
i mean
okay hi aspect
😂
smh invisible lookin ass 😂
Summoned em
no
never say ||the mods are offline||
lame
Manimg zoo build is not for everyone
^^^
there are requirements to manning zoo farm that only 0.001% of this community meets
wtf is a manning zoo build
ill make my own build, with blackjack and hookers
also i'm fully aware Backfire and Dark Winter arent great, but i do like them so whatever
- speak mandarin
- explosive resistance rolled on gear
sounds impractical
whats even the point of farming manning zoo?
😏
i dont think there is one
is this just like primo autism we are experiencing here?
😏 haha yeah there's no manning farm move along
if there was one I'm sure some crap div2 youtuber would have made a vid on it
hahah yes
why
Im not gonna make the same mistake with manning as i did with 10F
ikr everyone and their mom does 10f now
they should just rename #lfg-pc to #lfg-f10
actual facts
maybe one day they'll name it to #lfg-manning
hope that day never comes
most people forget that place exists, you should be fine
lfg-kenley
Just shut up about MZ already.
Runningbutcher could be lurking
or even worse... kamikazevondoom 😭
@placid lantern this guy?
yeah that's the guy
who are they
clickbait content creators
well, that's most div2 content creators so nothing special
How long is this season here for? Just wondering
like 12 weeks?
About 3 weeks or so left i think
ohh mb i read that wrong
Ok thanks
As long as you dont use backfire its fine
wait I'm watching a running butcher HF build atm. is this guy a clown or actually decent?
he say big words and show big numbers. idk if he right
Hes a god amongst men
a really smart clown how about that
like these ppl easily were A+ students in high school english class
if you can b.s. for 10 mins on the same topic for that long
no doubt u were good at writing essays
I like whatever hes smoking
the comment sections are the best, seriously wonder how much they pay for comment bots
he explains the build pieces in like 3 seperate areas of the video so you can't even see it all at once. and then the rest is him just running around face tanking shit
ofc if he showed it all at once then ppl wouldn't watch all 10 mins
welcome to div2 content!!
its only 8 minutes
same idea
Dont do division and drugs, kids.
dudes tryna make content on a game nobody cares about lol
Watching a full running butcher video is like facetanking shit
LMFAO
it's honestly really hard
and no cheating, can't put it on 2x or some shit
in fact put it on 0.5x speed to get the full experience
someone make a butcher video playlist and ill watch it before bed
you'll age 50 years
Its the youtube equivalent of a backfire build
yea I have no idea what he said. I was just scrolling through to see the items
must be some good ass sleeping then
Can you sleep while laughing?
probably
if you laugh enough sure
if youre the joker, sure
Its the substance abuse
dm me the worst butcher video you can find and ill watch it all the way through
I smell a poll
LMAOOO
I want the one where he sounds drunk
i think he mainlines adderall before filiming his videos
Waiting for the dm
im debating betwene hunter's fury skill build and true patriot "hybrid" rn
ahh god tier creativity there using hunters fury while playing at sniper distance with overwatch
he also using an ar (test subject i think) in the first vid
wait holy sht he advertises a gear farming service in that video 💀
This probably should be taken outside the server
why
this is why i dont him to learn of MZ farm. those scum at dving might get wind of it
did he just say pestilence is like a wall hack
yes becuase the spread works on enemies that are behind walls too = wall hack 🤡
mind blown
thats some very scientific shit right there
literally 900000000 iq
nah nah not the same since running butcher didnt say so
Shit u rite
i feel bad for butcher's teammates in all his vids
I bet they're like "aw sht he's filming another video again isn't he?"
if you ever matchmake with him, what would you run?
i would go full tryhard dps so it makes his build look better ofc
the correct answer was sent to DMs
ooo i may have said too much
🤐 🤐 🤐 🤐
Just got 2 scorpios same countdown run lol
nice! good thing it wasnt backfire
season pass worth it at all or nah?
id have to say yes since i already paid for it lol 😦
Hard carry build
All blue hard wired with a mirror shield and booster hive
im assuming level 30...?
i just got pestilence from a hostage situation
on normal
what, and i cannot stress this enough, the genuine fuck
Prolly gon keep running CD so I can finish off my shotties
gl eve
Does the end chest for IH drop the ironworks base materials? I've cleared IH this week and need 10 more base materials to finish the projects, but i didnt get to loot the end chest
i dont believe so
I've killed the first boss twice, and then also a full clear and only got 30/40 of the ironworks base materials
I’ve not even done a raid yet 😅😅 still pretty new to the game I’ve got a few builds going for me rn
aight im getting two super 90s outta the way
Hey Rivens. Eevee
If I do IH on an alternate character, will it let me get the ironworks base materials and contribute them to my main's project?
only if you get the shared materials upgrade
on both characters
shared materials upgrade?
I see, its some little upgrade you purchase, anyone know how many ironworks base materials drop off each boss by chance?
would I be able to do another IH this week after being locked to the bosses and grab the keys i didnt get? I only have 1/5 which I assume is from the last boss
I’m so lost at this expertise shit
What are the prerequisites to unlock countdown?
you can do as many raids as you want, you get loot only once per week and per boss - order does not matter
level 40, dlc story completed (be able to be back at the white house)
thanks, still a bit to go to get that done
do directives actually effect drop chance
yes
Dang 11pm and I can’t auto match into anything
Fucking damnit, i accidentaly deconstructed my optimized scorpio
Is there any ps groups
I do. Idk why the scorpio wasnt
Listen, I’m so overzealous about it that I check my loadouts at least once a day to make sure everything is marked as favorite
Got stuff expertise level 14 and may just ragequit if I deconstructed by accident
I havent bothered with expertise. Don’t see the point
Oh, btw if it’s a part of a loadout, you can get the warning before desconstructing, so sometimes I’ll do that as I’m fixing stuff up.
Then you’re sleep lol. My heartbreaker (countdown) build us expertise level 14. Meaning both of my guns do 14% extra weapon damage, and each of my gear pieces have 14% extra armor.
So far my unleveled hf set is dealing 1b+ in full cd matches
Question is: can you solo a hunter with ease? Cause this set can :P
Also its being removed from PvP If i read the report page thing cporrectly. where minmaxing is more important
Yes. Have done the duo open world hunters on heroic
Along with cd ones
Numbers can easily be skewed due to the close range countermeasure being broken
Which still isn't an issue on their bug board 
thankfully
I think it’s a strange argument honestly. It’s like saying my poorly rolled build is doing just fine so I don’t see the need to optimize. It’s fine if you don’t want to put in the effort, but it is 100% not arguable that it is significantly more powerful.
Wait what? You think the Expertise buff is significant?
And for clarity, I’m saying this from the perspective of someone who’s had this conversation with clan mates multiple times, and I really don’t get why people are so dismissive of it
The people making the claim that the Expertise buff is irrelevant are the people who have done the math for it or understand it.
Will you help me understand then?
hawaiian breads real fuckin good
Weapon Damage is diminishing, meaning the more you have of it, the less benefit any additional WD will do for you. On a full red build, 20% WD (max Expertise weapon buff) yields you ~8% WD, not actually 20
The armor is even worse, you don't even get 1 armor core's worth of armor for maxing ALL gear you're wearing to 20
The skills? Most of them provide useless benefits
Ensnare Health? When the fuck do I care about that
Lol I was gonna correct that edit 😂
Yeah mb mb
I really wish it was duration 😭 would give me something else to do
Exactly, I don't think Achilles Pulse is even implemented
What do you get then
Someone else worked it out, @timber hatch are you there
Here’s the thing, I don’t really have to go check the math on it to know you’re probably right about it not being an a actual 20%, but even if it’s 8% that’s like adding an extra attribute to the weapon?
And you’re 100% kidding me if there was a raid exclusive gear item that granted an extra weapon core that every player wouldn’t try to walk on water for it.
With 15m dps, an extra 8% is over a million
The armor is also significant, any red build is gonna have that moment where they were just short of living. Now, I just live instead of getting smacked down.
Here's the picture I posted yesterday from someone who did test out the WD buff: #td2-build-advice message
I was playing arcadegeddon and there’s a similar situation there with diminishing returns on damage buffs eventually
Look, if you do think it's significant, more power to you. I don't think it is, and I still did the sweat grind to 20. In the end people who want to min max will do it
but I don't blame the casual player for not giving a shit about it
because in the end it is super grindy
Oh no grinding in a looter shooter
See, I don’t think of it as a sweat grind to me. Like I have played my expertise 100% playing the way I want to play the game. I really only play main missions or countdown
That's just unheard of
completely missing the point whatever

hey i played the game on ps4 im on pc now can someone carry me as far as they can?
No
No
Lol
oof okay
Comedic relief 😂
ice breaker
But listen I understand where you’re coming from, and I really do appreciate the explanation and information. This is an argument I can agree to disagree on, because I feel/hope like you’re not saying it’s pointless, rather the effort/benefit ratio is a bit fucked.
Yes, exactly my point. Thank you
I feel like there has to be a way we can cry enough to the devs to get golden bullet more often
A petition? A tearful YouTube video? I’ll do it man
If all gear pieces are upgraded to the same level, you can use this formula to check max armor:
[(660,014 * (1 + % Expertise Level)] * (1 + 10% + Total Armor from brands)
In your case at level 10, without any brand bonuses:
[660,014 * (1 + 10%)] * (1 + 10%) = 798,616.94
Max armor at level 40 is 660,014 * 1.1 = 726,015.4
Difference: 798,616.94 - 726,015.4 = 72,601.54
If you have any blue cores, they are applied after Expertise has increased your base armor:
[(660,014 * (1 + % Expertise Level)) + Sum of blue cores] * (1 + 10% + % Total Armor from brands)
from FROST @Vroom
see speedrunner's do all the math
Did they even do anything with the freezing? I feel like it got worse.
Nvm it's 72k @ level 10
just mass report some gamebreaking bug or something.
the last 2 times the devs did it themselves coz they effed up
What's considered the best overall shotgun talent? Or at least a list of them?
I think pummel?
Any more else? Pummel I feel only works best with shotties that do large amounts of damage.
I mean theres plenty of those
I've only really ever heard of people using pummel and in sync
Yeah pretty much
and insync is only recently because of f10
Feel like the only real use for shotguns nowadays is with Headhunter or for the DtA attribute lol
Guess when HB came out, ACS-12 became relevant again
that's about it
3 Hunters in New York have been killed, I must’ve ran out of time doing the Nuecrotic hunter events cause after I rung the bell he never spawned
Been using a Super 90 as it is my go to IRL. And well... I just really like the Super 90. But I use it as a secondary.
looks at scorpio longingly
I do have the Scorpio, but that thing is on a league of its own.
I love my scorpio
whenever I feel just absolutely useless with my build in legendary difficulty I just pull it out and be
"hehe me support now"
it's all fun and games until the hazard protection counter measure is on 😂
oh you dont get those lobbies where ppl just run past them?? thinking that they do SOO much DPS that they can solo the Hunter? XD
CD and everyone just Scorpios a hunter...
Is it better to use scorpio or ACS on PvE? As always, I sport a HB/pulse build
night fellas
Can I come back to DC only after finishing the story content of NY?
Yep. After WONY is done, you can travel back and forth between them.
Any1 know where the snitch is?
Snitch spawns in a random location, I use https://division2map.com/ and search until I find a spawn.
Man i hope one day in the next season we can get a hunter apparel event where we get different hunter outfit's to use and cosplay as
I'm assuming that any Hunter focused Apparel Event will be once this story wraps up, since it seems like that's the direction it's going.
ive seen 12k
ive seen 15k
highest shd: 225k
Recently I got bighorn, is worth to get EB?
sniper targeted loot
I would say it is if you've got a good dps build
does the summit automatically save checkpoints when you leave?
every time you enter the working elevators it saves
ok thanks
Does WONY have any exotic weapons that are easier to obtain than D50 ?
perhaps 🧐
Does Future Perfect, BTSU Gloves and Energize Backpack talent all share the same overcharge cooldown ?
they r all 90 seconds right?
Energize is 60s
the other 2 are 90s
I keep getting the notification on the bottom left of the screen saying I unlocked the Hunter pants. I can't find it from any of the apparel collections
do the weekly events still give us the caches if we forget to collect them
Nope
the ones from the reward track get automatically shifted to your stash inbox (if it's not full) but global event stars are just lost
no idea why they are lost though, the star system and purchase options are the same every event so I can't see any reason why they can't just keep the star count and shop active all the time (you just won't be able to earn any more stars when there's no global event on)
Yes, I've been wondering the same thing. It's the same stars with the same rewards every time.
to enforce the grind 😉
doesn't really enforce any grind though, it just forces you to remember to spend your stars before the weekly reset
the stars are kept, just the shop disappears, i didnt know the shop existed for awhile, and i had like 400 stars to spend
does anyone one have invaded district union arena?
everyone's weekly invasion missions are the same, the only people with invaded DUA would be those still going through the world tiers (and then only on Story difficulty, which probably won't get you whatever you're after)
wait is there something missing from the apparel event
i need the stock for nemesis rifle, i hoped that like world tier 3 player could have it?
I've seen this claimed myself but also lots of people saying the opposite, going to have to check this myself, as stars should reset today. I normally make a point of spending them all though, so wouldn't notice if they did carry forward
maybe they fixed it, this was maybe 2 season ago
I don't think you can get those pieces on Story difficulty, but I'm not certain
but i def bought 20 exotic caches xD, cuz it filled my inventory
Lol I still need to complete golden bullet challenges day 3 and 4
I use the Rock n Roll/ACS12 for HB builds, just to get a really quick stack on HB. But scorpio can definitely work, since that's what I used prior to getting one.
Morning y'all
the pain when your gun's hits don't register at all on an enemy
@azure lintel Since leaks aren't allowed on this Server: no.
OK I'm deleting this pointless build. RNG so rigged that you can't even make fun builds in this game
Guess it's time to become a dz tryhard :/
Ok how about “official news” about season 10 then?
#news-and-announcements Is where you'd find that, and likely talked about on the main Server too.
👍🏻
Hey Kettle, Rivens
Can someone help me figure why I haven't unlocked ridgeways? pls
from I checked in fandom, do you cleared summit 100 floors??
did you get all 5 (i think) pieces, then cleared floor 100?
Yes I did
did you complete the projects for it? the crafting/donations portions?
I can't the project for it
because after completing the summit with all the parts you should have some projects to complete for it. some including donating some items and others include killing specific enemies and such.
Yeah the project didn't come through
At the end of floor 100 it should come, yeah I have all 5
if you still have all the parts then you should just be able to redo it (floor 100) again (if you haven't already)
Yeah I have, wanna vc and I can screen share the game
currently at work myself so can't help too much other than chatting mainly, sorry mate.
No problems
Best pieces to farm for damage? Hardwired for skill if im right
depends on what build u want
figure out if you want to make a skill build around 1 or 2 specific skills, or if you just want a skill build you can swap to when you need and that can work with most skills
Skill over damage? I’m trying to put the global difficulty higher but cant seems to put in work
I just assumed you meant skill build, as you were asking about Hard Wired?
I really dont know what im talking about, al those youtube videos are confusing to me
Im trying to find pieces with damage
right, do you want a) a DPS/gun build, B) a tank/hard to kill build C) a skill build or D) a hybrid?
ok, then dont look at Hard Wired
go Fox's kneepads, Contractor gloves and 4 pieces of Heartbreaker
if you dont have the first 2 named pieces, just run Countdown a couple of times
look for Hearbreaker pieces rolled with crit chance or crit dmg as high as possible
I will! Thankyou for this
then roll the armor to weapon dmg
You ideally don't want foxes or contractors on a HB build
give me a good reason to not do it
If you're into CHC / CHD I'll recommend taking coyote (if solo)
CHC / CHD? Guys im new 😅
thats not a good reason
Mathematically less damage isn't a good reason?
hows multiplicative dmg from Fox's and Contractor less dmg?
Basically all amp little base damage to amplify
and this was also advice to a guy who is completey new the game and would be a simple and easy way to get dmg
in terms of the DPS 'special' armors to have, id prioritize coyotes mask (exotic), Fox Prayer Knees, Contractor gloves. in that order.
all 3 will be used on a high-end build, though high end is more difficult to farm. Check the spreadsheet pinned in #td2-build-advice (on spreadsheet, look at bottom for the 'Hub' tab)
easier to farm gun DPS sets are Negotiators Dilema and Hunters Fury. HF is typically for close in work, while Nego can do whatever range/guns (typically AR / Rifle / LMG as primary gun.
HB (Heart Breaker is still an easy farm, but you will be wanting to reroll cores so its slightly more difficult to find pieces. )
HF -> close range, smg/shotgun
ND -> mid-long to short general purpose
HB -> stack build dependent but very strong set when stacked. typically uses an ACS-12 shotgun to get in close and build stacks before switching to primary weapon.
for these gear set bonuses you can also check the same spreadsheet on gear set tab.
HF = Hunters Fury, ND = Negotiators Dilemma and HB = Heartbreaker
CHC and CHD -> critical hit chance and damage respectively are goto- for DPS builds. chance caps at 60% (with coyote mask you target 50%) the rest into crit damage.
also check out the #td2-build-advice @lusty meteor
sry fixed it
fox/contractors is only bis if you can already have CHD on every other piece while reaching crit cap, in most gearset you cant do that, while they are less diminished (not correct to call them multiplicative btw, just that they are close to full power still as you dont have many sources for it) they dont overcome missing chc/chd
17 skills left to make proficient
Marine Super 90
Military M870
SASG-12
Six12
Super 90
Tactical Super 90 SBS
those are the shotties i have left, honestly just putting it here to refer to xD
at least shotties are fun
so youc an manually level em without too much pain if you choose
shotties are easy to use in CD
thats why im goin for them first
what should i level after shotties do you reckon
debating between SMGs or MMRs honestly next
i guess that is more about your fun play stytle. personally MMRs are a pain for me to use so id just farm them / donate for them.
im asking cuz i dont care lol
then pick based on mood for the given play session
you havent gotten the hint, PICK SOMETHING FOR ME
spend your time more on dz nameds and exotics for grinding, you can farm and donate all the normal weapons pretty easily
ive taken care of 90% of them
MMRs
thank you
letting me take care of my adrestia
i just dont have a pinprick on me rn
no, do SMGs 🤯
😭😭😭 countdown we all failed extracting cause someone called the heli early and we didn’t notice
i do have a dark winter
no backsies!§
got em all yeet
just need to make em proficient now
did they ever fix the event times? how long do we really have left on the golden bullet event?
9 hours
Even tho i play HF as a sub build but i was never convinced in SGs
It feels so weird to use imo
Enforcer FTW
😮 thats blasfemi!
blasphemy*
Honestly sometimes i dont even understand the DMG formula in the game
My shotgun could do 2-3m to head or do barely do 700k to the head
the ACS has gotta be the wimpiest gun ive used yet
Vast majority of players don't
floor 10 time
dude walmart has been tracking my purchases through my associate discount now i feel ashamed by how much ice cream i bought the last month 😭
Sounds like your having a dreamy creamy summer
i bought way too much
Why would you be ashamed of that? Lol
Ice-cream is the best
As long as its not coffee ice cream tho 👀
6 pints of ice cream
That's just breakfast ice cream
The phrase "breakfast ice cream" is bothering me more than it should.
Ikr
I mean, is it any worse than dessert steak?
i bought a side of beef last month.
but only about 4 pints of ice cream.
There's something vaguely unsettling about it.
It's like "moist" but for food.
lol
Lol
i suppose if one were to sprinkle granola or somethign on the ice cream, it woudl be breakfast right?
I personally mix my ice cream with cereal. Very tasty :)
i guess thats pretty much what i mean, ya. i havent tried it. but now...
hmmm. sounds legit
new apparel is pretty drippy ngl
McFlurry 2 when
There's nothing like running turret/drone build, trying to intercept a supply convoy, and then having your drone and turret aggro mobs from other nearby events, turning it into a full scale street war from all sides.
That’s a major pain 😂
the Mast has to be the worst for that.
Resource Convoy + CP + roaming scavs + Convoy.
Aye
Multi-tasking 
20 minute fights.
Finally finished the Apparel event grind. Time to wait for the next season
My favorite was when I’d do a control point while on the blueprint grind, and I’d immediately have 4 resource convoys come back in and an elite patrol and then to top if off, rogue agents come after me.
If I'm in a 4-person group though, I will sometimes intentionally aggro an elite patrol or some such nearby while taking over a CP, just for the adrenaline rush.
(Usually only if running fire/shock build for control.)
That must have been a loot payday.
it has gotten to where as soon as i call for NPCs at a CP, i wait a few, only killing immediate rushers. cuz 7 times of 10 im going to get some aggro from behind or a flank. I like to clear that first.
Everyone says this. Having the rogue agent curse is a curse I tell you! I cannot leave my safe house without being ambushed lol. Poor noob me would be so paranoid walking around in free roam lol.
Aye im new to D2 any tips Ima main pvp coming from D1 was amazing have hope for 2 since I let it marinate for 3 years
Just yesterday I was telling my friend about my rogue problem - as usual they didn’t really believe me. We played for like two hours and fought rogues twice in main missions, once in summit and twice in free roam. (in the same spot!)
so like ive been trying to play with diffrent skills and gear peaces im not used to, and like i just cant do it
had to switch back to my normal stuff i usually use
What do you normally use?
I wish this game had the ninja bike from d1 adding that one exotic would changed the game BIG time
For context
mainly memento backpack and the chillout mask, switching off those two alone felt akward
What do you normally play? Like main missions?
This is probably the quickest I’ve beaten New York, started yesterday afternoon and before I left for work, I was ready to fight Keener
heroic + no radar
There’s your problem. :P how I’ve been expertise grinding is just playing missions on hard. There’s usually someone who’s recently discovered eclipse who’s having the time of their lives and I just collect exp
heroic + rager + hard to earn.
good times
also i switched the heal drone for the defender drone and the defender drone is so unreliable
it moves slower then i do so its not always covering me
Lol I just did the same yesterday. I’ve been just activating it and putting it on the teammates in the front while I hang back
and the damage reduction at skill-2 is like not really good
and it dosent last long at all, but it has a ok fast cool down
idk i play solo 95% of the time
omg
There's a pvp build guide in the pinned spreadsheet in the build advice channel. Without a proper level 40 build you'll stand no chance in pvp, so prepare to do some farming to prep for pvp
Try it sometime, especially during this event. Just random join a mission on hard. I’m currently using an improvised set I made with absolutely terrible rolls, and I’ve been doing fine in hard. 1/10 I have to switch to a real class because they are baby noobs but like 2/10 are capitol building spawn trapping and I just sit on objective and text and watch my expertise go up in real time.
Exactly!
Capitol Building spawn trapping?
@woven quest be there in a minute
The latest trend in these apparel events make agents look like hobos and gang members, where's the techwear
Finally
I don’t understand the expertise leveling at all. I’m level one how does it go to 2
Gotcha yeah good old mod farming exotics god rolls x D
Yeah during boss fight (especially), you can just spawn trap with status and rack up a ridiculous number of kills really fast.
I like this event, nice having some hoodies and stuff. Just wish we could get a way to toggle some of the more excessive graffit/neons
you increase expertise levels by increasing your total count of proficiency levels
Ohhh. Just standard eclipse stuff
war crime sim you mean
Nah, that’s the Scorpio
Pretty much, yeah. Though I would say capitol building is one of those status dream missions. So low effort and high reward
@rough sleet oh so I’m forced to wear new gear then so it levels up
every expertise level requires a certain number of total proficiency levels to rank up. you gain proficiency levels by equipping/using gear/weapons. every gear item can gain a total of 10 proficiency levels, making it proficient.
yes and no, you can donate drops of that item to it to increase it too. or donate mats as well
you don't HAVE to use it at all, and can solely donate instead if you don't want to equip it
For some items, you have to donate
I wonder when the clipping with the new items will be fixed
Looking at you UMP -45 and Lullaby/Ruthless 🙃
^ yeah, some items just don't drop in the open world or you just wont get many drops of
3 items can Be ignored and hit 20
hold on why ump-45
why would you want the lullaby or ruthless
proficiency
Regular UMP doesn’t drop at all
It’s literally not in the endgame loot table
Police variant drops, but not the regular UMP-45
I found out yesterday you could buy the Lulaby and ruthless still; thought it was preorder only
no its ultimate edition only
I just wish they got rid of the bloody gaps on the exotic wall for it
i think its fine
Hate seeing the gaps for the two exotics for two reskins.
then get the ultimate edition lul
I mean, you can still buy the enforcer (in the US) too
Zzz
How? Cause I don’t think I have one
granted it costs literally $0.01 from the Ubi store, lol
enforcer is open world drop now
So how's it going Agents?
is it? I've never seen one drop before....that's cool then
spreadsheet says so
no wonder it's only a penny from the store then, lol
Does SHD level matter much in PVP cause I know there was a glitch there’s people with like 9k and I’ll never reach that
9k is not a glitch lol
only up to 1k
It matters for the first 1k
where are you seeing it in the store, im not
LOL Glitch
Same never drooped enforcer in 10k shd. When was that changed?
Since you get like a passive crit damage/crit chance bonus from shd levels in the first 1k
let me find it again, one second....it's only for US tho
i dont want to have to spend 4 weeks getting nemisis
I heard there was a glitch a long time ago that people where boosting but I’m new so idk
is there an easier way
The highest I’ve seen on psn so far is 18,000
Godddamnnnn I thought max was 10k
nope
Get a mate with Nemesis unlocked already to farm sniper targeted loot and hope it drops
No max I dont believe
there is no max
do you have nemesis unlocked
And be in the same part for them to share
Oh man
jsut because it says its
Note: It is possible to get this shotgun by chance even without pre-ordering. (tested)
doesnt mean it is in the general loot pool
Yes, but no.
damn, now I gotta find it again. I bought it for the apparel it came with
you had it dropped for you'
No lmao
then what does yes but no mean
Had to wait a month for GWH to go into rotation for it
so you almost have it, or you do have it
Yes, but preemptively no I’m not helping you farm for it
im running cd still lul
eve, countdown has shit drop rates
What section of the store is enforcer under? I don’t see it
your loss
hey kirra, have you got nemesis unlocked?
I do
have you got some time to burn
because its a pre order bonus, lol
thats a literal placeholder
is there any exotics your missing?
Hmmm
sleepy begging people to help him get nemesis yet actively not letting me help him
beggars cant be choosers
Says drop rates in Countdown are too slow; but wants to farm targeted loot for the leech 🙃
im asking if they have time to burn, doing something boring is better than doing nothing
i got a mantis last night so
if there was some harder countdown with better drops, id be game, but theres just normal countdown
If you’re really desperate. Try hosting a floor 10 targeted summit farm
i did too
floor 9 on normal, floor reward
Fast turnover, + exp
i also got pestilence off a regular old hostage rescue, on normal
i have no idea why a dc resident just had a warcrime they could lend me, but im not arguing
im not comparing exotic drops with you lol
ya, must've missed a period where they didn't take the ability to purchase it down. at least it's not a big loss....just some apparel and a weapon. meh
Whadya mean countdown with better drops. Isn’t it one of the best loot caves currently
summit on herioc/legendary
with directives, cause apperantly those boost drop rates
Not apparently, they do.
then go do that instead of begging for a carry lol
i need people that already have nemi
I mean, they're planning on adding a new countdown difficulty
so im asking people i know
oh shit, they are?
in a month or so
nice
yeah
4 new countdown difficulties no?
it was in the announcement
what announcement
not new difficulties, but just difficulties
they announced things?
Easy, normal, heroic and hard
SOTG
i think those are out of order
and challenging
Does it matter
adding 3 difficulties, challenging is current difficulty (by name, not by actual difficulty level)
doesnt it go easy, normal, hard, then heroic
Semantics
normal hard challenging heroic
Legendary would be fun
hey luke, hows it going
easy easy easy normal
challenging can be hard solo
Lmao
lmao
CD yes, missions no
If challenging is hard solo, that’s a build issue
i said can be
skill issue
^
wall street is hard???
wall street???????
lmao
On release I remember it being hard haha
on a high difficulty by yourself yeah
But that was when nobody had heroic ready builds
wall street is a cake walk compared to some
good luck on darpa 😂
Nowadays, it’s just Hunters Fury for anything below Heroic
i mean, i would say the new york missions are shit to go through. mostly cause the enemies are more bullet spongey
but pretty much everything in washington is a breeze
Or eclipse if you’re feeling lazy
those shields are tanky as all hell
Tidal not too much.
i just suck at running tidal.
skill issue :(
Manning Invaded is a hell in itself
manning invaded is easier than regular manning
😂 have you ever done manning heroic invaded
bro
its not that bad
the fucking mortars
How is the train harder than Manning invaded heroic
this is the same person who claims the scorpio sucks btw
there are mortars? i never got struck by mortars
someone said scorpio sucks?
sleepy did
ohhh wait, red circles
Like that’s a skill issue if you find the Manning train hard
those things are inaccurate as hell
sleepy you have a busted copy of the game, how can i buy it off you /s
manning invaded is easier than manning normal
you cant, cause then youd have all my hard earned loot
and my welding mask
that was a joke lol
OOF, I was wrong btw....it was $0.10, my bad Eevee. 😥
LIAR!@
I'm a 9 penny liar. XD
scorpio is absolute ass, shit damage
In before Legendary Manning makes us fight a drone in the Alligator pit
it has a gimmicky mechanic that doesnt make sense
Flying drone~
legendary manning/TB will be hell
shame that the mechanic is wonderful CC
I reckon legendary tidal basin won’t be hard till the final boss area
is there a difference between tidal basin and invaded tidal basin
Since that final area has spawn doors littered everywhere around you
isnt it already a bt stronghold
there is no invaded
because its technically always invaded
the exception being hornet
who?
In before Buddy and Lucy make a reappearance at Tidal Basin legendary
hornet manhunt mission
whos that
Carter "Hornet" Leroux
razorback moment
oh that guy
2 and 6 yeah'
the dude who calls shaeffer a moron, lol
Hornets’ the dude you killed in Division 1
^
Who somehow came back and changed race.
apparently we sucked at killing
We also suck at taking people alive
Nothing will beat the ease of the game Pre-New york.
we took schaeffer alive
‘Alive’
and the outcast strategist
We put the man in a coma
but hes alive
but hes alive
Useless but alive
his reviver hive was on cooldown
if the extraction team gets a little too rough he wont be alive
I wonder how we actually managed to put a man in a coma by shooting him till he fell over
hes in the Haven infirmary tho
maybe a shot hit his helmet and knocked his head around
wait, did he wear a helmet?
No
he did wear a helmet
His mini squad of elites were wearing helmets though
im pretty sure he wore a helmet
fairly sure lol, the briefing even shown him wearing one
Still, I don’t think coma is an appropriate response to 6 mags from a Police M4
maybe him falling over made him bang is head on a rock or something?
We’re getting legendary tidal/Manning in Season 10 right?
i mean if agents never die
yeah
yeah he wore a helmet
thought so
yeah, so a shot probably bonked his head about some and gave him a coma through brain damage
ima run them at least once for the experience
Just run skill build
i have quite a doubt thatd work on TB
hey eve, want to run roosevelt legendary?
Or healer
I am running skill build
already did this week
it's the only build i can moderately survive with in legendary
We’ll have to see about TB legendary anyway
but then I switch my striker drone with a reviver hive
so I'm a lil more useful than dead weight
i run either A&E or FI
is there an efficient way to farm skill mods?
Why not just throw your turret a bit further away so you’re not sitting next to it
countdown. summit.
I still say we gonna see quite a few marauders i both those legendary missions....if not they missed out
Turret and drone should in theory always keep aggro off you in legendary
thanks
sorry that would be terrifying
i hope to god there arent mortars
marauders are the big angry drones right
In before Marauder drone is TB final boss
like the one from liberty island
none that I am currently worried about going after. I'm too lazy to get em all, this ain't pokemon.
they wouldnt do that since they did for RI already
What’s left for bosses then
razorback i can see
