[azure lintel]

The backpack is a named item called matador

It gives you perfect adrenaline rush

[cloud sage]

Okay, I got a question. If I upgrade global difficulty to say Challenging, does that mean all encounters, including for example Resource Convoys, are automatically lvl 3?

[gusty dove]

yes

[cloud sage]

Alright, thanks 🙂

[bitter wraith]

Damn rip my whole team again lol

[cloud sage]

Follow-up question on that Global Setting-thing though, it's just +25% if you go from normal to for example Challenging.

Is it really worth it? I mean (F U Slow mode)

[surreal orbit]

Worth it for the drops (better rolls) not the xp. Directives add xp and increases chances for targeted loot to drop

[fervent berry]

You would also improve your loot in most cases if you ramp up your difficulty

[fervent berry]

^

[cloud sage]

Fair point guys, worth considering for sure.

[azure lintel]

I agree slow mode is a trash feature. There are bots that can mute you and delete your message after you spam a few. Surely a nearly 100k member server would have that lol

[fervent berry]

If you become involved in any form of live chatting, you would understand that slow mode is a godsend 😂

[azure lintel]

It's really not a good feature

If its to prevent spam then there are much better ways

[fervent berry]

Counterpoint to that is you can still spam regardless

But we have mods to enforce rules here so all good

[coral igloo]

What exotics can i get in base game i have chatterbox and the vector ar cant remember name

Is true patriot good also?

[little sequoia]

I use the backfire regularly in Conflict on my Hazpro build. Get the stacks built and it’s an animal

[sweet star]

Just did legendary Ross felt for 2 hours and died at the end fml

[smoky stag]

still ongoing?

[sweet star]

Nah I left group

Duck that

Just gonna farm CD for those named pieces you suggested and the Scorpio n memento

Fml

[smoky stag]

do the manhunt

[sweet star]

Why

[smoky stag]

the prime target/anderson mission rewards each completion with a random exotic guaranteed on any difficulty

[sweet star]

Oh wtf

So eliminating each of the 4 before Anderson gives u exotic?

If I read that correctly

[little sequoia]

No just reply Anderson

Re play

[sweet star]

Dam why don’t people just replay farm him then? No one’s mentioned that ever

[little sequoia]

I do it regularly for exotic components. It’s easy and a guaranteed exotic each run.

[surreal orbit]

Been mentioned on here multiple times

[azure lintel]

They fixed that right?

[little sequoia]

No. They left it alone surprisingly

[surreal orbit]

You were also farming a build which makes countdown a better option. If you were just farming exotics we would have said something. @sweet star

[azure lintel]

Lol dz exotic farm is infinitely better anyway

[sweet star]

Oh

[surreal orbit]

Exotic components farm yes… I get on average 2 exotic components for a ten minute DZ run. Many runs I get 3.

[azure lintel]

Oh

What are exotics needed for other than components anymore

[sweet star]

Just to confirm beat all his agents and when you get to Anderson kill him any difficulty and then replay at any difficulty

[little sequoia]

Wall hangars or components.

[smoky stag]

thats right

[sweet star]

Dam ok ima do that. And my bad to ask again - those named items just farm in Cd?

[smoky stag]

CD, summit, any mission

[surreal orbit]

Some are actually farming exotics they don’t have yet

DZ is the most efficient exotic component farm there is atm. If you farm with multiple characters. The 30 wait for crates to respawn would make Anderson more efficient for a single character.

[little sequoia]

That’s true. But not everyone has PvP builds. Anderson is much more feasible for most

[smoky stag]

you dont really require a pvp build per se, esp if you are in a deserted one

[surreal orbit]

Solo DZ server for the win…

[smoky stag]

only advantage of Anderson is its guaranteed

[little sequoia]

Sure. But on Xbox at least the servers are rarely empty. (I’m a rope cutter) 👀

[smoky stag]

whilst DZ is still RNG but if with a good rng you'd get a good rate/effiency

[surreal orbit]

I always get at least one from a ten minute run. 3 has been the most I’ve gotten. In 40+ runs I’ve been killed once. And since they don’t need to be extracted, I didn’t really care…

[patent citrus]

Does anyone know the story behind that nun woman in The Ark contaminated zone?

[sweet star]

Some control points are heroic…any way to change that?

Change difficult nvm

[patent citrus]

You can either wait them out and they'll eventually dial down, or you can reset control points on the mega map

[midnight skiff]

i want to farm for the exotic catharsis should i do targeted loot in countdown or soemthing different?

[sweet star]

Apparently manhunt end mission with Anderson gets you exotic too

[lilac kestrel]

Most used exotics like top 5 does anybody know off the top of their head

Just curious

[tender notch]

You mean best exotics? Ummm regulus, memento, coyotes, capacitor and Scorpio

[lament mirage]

Nemmy

[modest lintel]

Pesti

[tender notch]

Pest no, nemmy isnt top 5, I'd say top 6 though

[modest lintel]

What u dunno, u dunno

🙂

[smoky stag]

Regulus, Scorpio, Memento, Coyotes, Dodge City Gunslinger

[patent citrus]

Eagle Bearer, Memento, Scorpio, Coyotes, Capacitor

[lament mirage]

Mine probably
Cartharsis, coyote, regulus, Eagler Bearer , momento

[smoky stag]

Oh most USED.
Not necessarily top for being good, then
Pestilence, chameleon, and waveform makes the top 5 simply because plenty dont know theyre terrible

Forgot bullet king. Same reasons

[patent citrus]

"Because plenty don't know they're terrible"

Sounds like you just called a ton of people stupid if they use those exotics.

[smoky stag]

Not knowing isnt stupid.
Refusing to accept facts despite evidence to contrary is.
One is forgivable and fixable. The other not.

[obsidian hatch]

Pestilence ain't terrible tbh. Not the best but it does have its niche purpose of dealing damage to enemies you may not be focusing on.

BK I could argue that it's one of the top go to for a full backpack + chest Striker build in legendary, countdown or maybe just group content in general

[smoky stag]

i remember someone said here that pesti isnt bad because its bad per se, pesti is bad because people think its good. mighta been raucey.
also LMG and legendary = Nope. unless you enjoy drone and nade spam from suppressed drone ladies and grenadiers

[obsidian hatch]

they can't use their skills when they are supressed

or dead beforehand

BK infinite ammo allows you to keep stacks 101 to 200 easier since you'd lose them much faster compared to 1 to 100

and that point you just kill stuff so fast that they could barely even use their skills before getting blasted

[smoky stag]

or i could just walk to them with a regulus and 1 tap

or m870

[obsidian hatch]

or that if you can do so in other legendaries that are not district union

Capitol has some spots also

[smoky stag]

do it fine in capitol (even easier in capitol)
done it in roose too

[obsidian hatch]

but others are a bit too wide open and I won't risk that with matchmaking folks

in a pre made group with my buds sure ez clap

but I won't try make that risk in Roosevelt, Tidal or Zoo

[gilded perch]

Pesti is acceptable in pvp with specific build
But pesti is shit in pve, full red is god

[obsidian hatch]

I prefer not using LMG when solo tbh. Enemies get suppressed way too fast especially when you combine that with 15% rof. It'd just make the flow slower

Countdown however is a different story. Most of the NPCs don't seem to give a damn about cover

not only that but getting 75 rounds of hollow from a random OD player is a huge boost

[midnight onyx]

What you mean full red? New player here

[timber hatch]

that sounds like me

[smoky stag]

every armor piece you equip has any of the following cores:
red = weapon damage
blue = armor
yellow = skill tier

full red simply means all weapon damage cores

[midnight onyx]

Got it ty

[tiny chasm]

кто пойдет в ТЗ пошариться?

[dapper atlas]

You can use your language in the lfg channels but please keep it english in all other channels.

[tiny chasm]

lfg?

[midnight skiff]

is it even worth doing countdown on heroic or is challenging fine

[molten spire]

Challenging and Heroic have the same rolls on drops, but Heroic is more difficulty for increased Countdown Requisition payouts

[river badger]

Looking for group

[midnight skiff]

does doing anderson with targeted loot increase the chance that the end reward will be an exotic of that kind?

or will it be random always

[smoky stag]

rando

[bronze harness]

any known bugs of disappearing items recently ? just recalibrated some kneepads and went to equip them and they have vanished 😅

[errant lark]

Yo

[tropic compass]

💀 game crashed 3 times within an hour on windows 11

[frigid edge]

anyone know why the game is crashing anytime i’m tryna do something? im also losing gear mods and pieces to it. i’m stuck in new york it won’t let me see dc and when i go to try it crashes.

[primal skiff]

Hey does ubi have option to migrate files from one drive to another?

[merry spoke]

have you completed the WOLNY DLC? if not, you will not see DC as an option

[gusty dove]

you can, if you uninstall you can just reinstall it on the other drive. you won't lose any progress

[primal skiff]

Bro i know game has cloud save but it will take me good 3+hrs to reinstall the game

[gusty dove]

I guess you can try to put it on the other drive and see if it finds the game on the drive you want it on

[ancient verge]

Hey i have a friend that recently bought the New York DLC, He logged out for abit and he cant log in and it says his character is llocked and that he needs to but it again. PLS help!!

[merry spoke]

his character is blocked? thats new

[ancient verge]

locked sorry, typo

[merry spoke]

did he have Ubi+ by chance?

cause that seems to be a common thing if your ubi+ sub drops

side note; anyone having issues doing answer the call? cause..i keep getting "group server unavailable" when i try to answer help calls

[ancient verge]

Yea he did

[merry spoke]

tell him he either needs to resub to it, or rebuy WoLNY

WLONY whatever the acronym is

those are the "Fixes" for that issue

at least per google and people with the same locked issues

[ancient verge]

Thanks heeps

[ancient verge]

I just bought the expansion with him so i get so depressed when he could play lmaoo

[coral igloo]

True patriot is so fun wth

[fervent berry]

Heck yeah, lots of explosions and all that jazz

[coral igloo]

FREEDOM

[quick oxide]

Explosions

I run a true patriot smg build and it’s really fun

[coral igloo]

I do true patriot chameleon and am trying to make a crit build but idk how

[shy dagger]

Why is it so hard to find a Chill Out mask with crit dmg

[reef reef]

#td2-build-advice has a spreadsheet in the pinned messages, standard red build is a good crit build

[coral igloo]

What does profecincy rank do

[shy dagger]

its a weapon/item/skill/specilization weapon "level". You need to level proficiency up to get your expertise up

[reef reef]

Increases weapon damage for weapons, armor for armor, and specific stats for each skill.

[coral igloo]

Right

[shy dagger]

There are right now 351 total which you need to times 10, so 3510 "levels" you need to do

Focus on donating crap you dont need and go to vendors/crafting bench and only buy/craft guns/named items since these require only 20 for full prof.

normal yellow gear and green set requires too much donation so its not worth to buy/craft it

[reef reef]

*work on your recal library before you start donating a bunch

[coral igloo]

And for gear sets (mine being true patriot) what armour pieces are the best to not have a gear piece on? Is it body armour and mask?

[reef reef]

Depends

[surreal orbit]

Best run yet! 6 exotic components in one ten minute run through the DZ, doubling my previous best!.. 🤣😆😂

[timber hatch]

What's the build your trying to setup with it?

[shy dagger]

full elite prot red build

[coral igloo]

Do gear sets drop from bounty targets when the loot allocation is in the area? Its true patriot in downtown east and i want more

[sweet star]

Anyone know where clan vendor is?

[surreal orbit]

In the clan room at the BOO

or downstairs at haven

[sweet star]

Can’t find it …

[coral igloo]

Also found a second chameleon from a bounty target where it wasn’t even targeted ar loot

[sweet star]

Nvm

[surreal orbit]

Bounties drop chameleons all the time, best place to farm them imo.

[coral igloo]

When an entire district has targeted loot where is the nest place to farm it?

[surreal orbit]

All over more than anywhere else. But probably heroic control points because of 2 bosses.

[coral igloo]

How-do you make them heroic

[quick yarrow]

Change your world difficulty. Map then global settings at bottom

[reef reef]

You cant yet, actually.

[surreal orbit]

Current level?

[sweet star]

Currently the mission air space and museum has the backpack as targeted loot. If I play this at hard lvl can I get memento?

[surreal orbit]

It has possibilities, but better chance if difficulty was higher

[sweet star]

Kk

[surreal orbit]

So I just figured out that all the little precursor manhunt activities give no xp….

[coral igloo]

512 gear score level 30

Anyone know anything about a key in the sanitarium contaminated area

Nvm

[lament mirage]

Damn budhad

[primal skiff]

Can anyone help me farm chatter box? I got 6 keys

[hollow thicket]

Ok so I finally got a PS5 and for some reason I thought it was a good idea to start new character from the very beginning, I forgot how big the game is + DLC 🤪

[low flame]

You can still boost your character to play wony instantly if you have the dlc and want to

[ruby swift]

is the a D2 for PC

[reef reef]

What?

[primal skiff]

I got lions eyes what is that?

[hollow thicket]

Yeah I know but wanted to start fresh 😂 just forgotten how much to do, been a while since I played it , now onto the DLC👍

[knotty quail]

Quest item to spawn an open world Hunter encounter

[valid dragon]

Bro why Jtf look like they just robbed a target goddamn wear some armor atleast

[ruby swift]

@reef reef I own D2 for PS and PC I'm pretty maxed out in Playstation but in my computer I suck no builds no equipment as new as I can get so I was looking for people I can match with on PC to help up grade it

[fiery cloud]

Hey Aspect, Buddha, RIRI,

[mystic fog]

at least in divi 1 they usually had some camo or tactical gear. now they just look like tactical hobo's / students or something 😂

[valid dragon]

True

[mystic fog]

if it wasn't for them doiung bad shit. i'd rather sign with BTSU than jtf. say what you want, but BTSU get all the fun toys. I WANT A DOGGO TOO :-<

[valid dragon]

I hope in divison 3 if they ever release it they will wear tactical armor like black tusk or true sons

[mystic fog]

i mean civvies gonna civvy. but come on PROTECTION better to have it and not need it than the opposite

😂

even john wick had tactical gear........even if it LOOKEd like a suit. i'll happily take that kev lar weave jacket

[valid dragon]

Instead of better safe then sorry better dead then sorry

[mystic fog]

righto time to bully some BTSU boys and girls. i want my museums back

[valid dragon]

But you know what i like

In the division 2

No other game have

Npc actually doing something

Instead of just going out side then telporting to the shadow world

[mystic fog]

bwhahaha

you mean like the average outcasts or hyena

they go outside and encounter anything from TS, BTSU or SHD......it's the forever box 😂

[valid dragon]

Yo can i switch factions

True sons better then the divison at this point

[mystic fog]

i wouldn't say better

differently organised tho, clearer hierarchy.

[valid dragon]

Division always losing in every game

[mystic fog]

i mean i can see the pointr in why some people went rogue

i'm still waiting for Kelso to go - technically - Rogue cause she gets tired of the limitations set by SHD/Division

[valid dragon]

No shit They are literally the only people doing shit while every one is having a damn party

[mystic fog]

they work within certain confines, their motto not withstanding

[valid dragon]

I hope next game we can go rouge

[mystic fog]

i mean you can just not as a faction haha

[stiff raft]

question returning player is there cross play between the platforms and is it worth getting back into

[surreal orbit]

No crossplay, pc seems to be pretty active

[stiff raft]

hmm prolly no chance i can use my character from the PS some how aye haha

[coarse summit]

You cant take attributes off into library from exotics can you?

[surreal orbit]

Nope

[coarse summit]

U need skill damage 10%

I

[surreal orbit]

???

[coarse summit]

Trying to get skill dmg 10%

[midnight skiff]

battle pass worth buying to do old manhunts?

[wet igloo]

You don’t need to purchase it to do the older manhunts

[surreal orbit]

If you get to season level 100 you’ll have all the final targets to replay. They are rewards for reaching certain season levels. No need to buy season pass unless you want all the stuff that shows on the bottom track.

[coral igloo]

Do named weapons have special talents

[vocal cliff]

you could always ask for backup ingame :)

[vocal cliff]

yes, all exotics have unique talents

[ruby swift]

True

[coral igloo]

Whats the easiest skill to use to kill a named enemy

[fervent berry]

Kind of an open question, also depends on how effective your skill build is. It could be anything from assault drone to oxidizer

[vocal cliff]

riot foam is nice if you aren't specced into skills
lets you shoot uninterupted and easily get the weakpoint

[coral igloo]

Well idk much about a skill build

[coral igloo]

Would it count for a challenge tho

[vocal cliff]

oh no it wouldn't

[coral igloo]

I used crusader shield and it didnt count

[fervent berry]

Assault turret and drone are good skills though, can't go wrong with them

[vocal cliff]

just get the enemy down to low health and deploy a sentry or seomthing

[fervent berry]

I think it has to be deployable skills

[vocal cliff]

make sure the named enemy is the only one alive

[coral igloo]

Sniper turret?

Or maybe stinger hive

Or maybe im just stupid

And forgot seeker mine exists

[fervent berry]

Seeker mines are inconsistent. Enemies roll away most of the time and the mines completely miss. Really annoying

You could use the drone and target the named enemy while popping shots off them

[stiff raft]

is there a downside to using the 30 boost

[reef reef]

You'd skip parts of the game you paid for, + some achievements are locked to boosted characters

[stiff raft]

but if i leveled 1-30 originally on another platform then guess not missing much

[low lily]

Unless you really care about story 1-30 is pointless

[surreal orbit]

Just saw an shd 2400 wearing 4 petrov…. 🤦‍♂️ he was running 2 lmg’s so I’m pretty sure he meant to do that…

[paper phoenix]

SHD 760. I can almost clear the opening area of Legendary DUA.

Almost Then the tanks show up

[vocal cliff]

What's needed to queue for legendary missions? I know to not to get too close in encounters and not to trigger encounters. Got the meta dps build
I just don't want to ruin other's legendary runs :(

[paper phoenix]

I dunno, I got bored and went into it solo

I'd be interested if someone was willing to shepard me through them, but I understand that's asking a lot

[vocal cliff]

I'd love to, but I can't

I guess youi can always queue for legendary missions and be upfront about not having done them

[paper phoenix]

Yeah. I'm just looking for that next accomplishment.

My clanmate is mid SHD 300s, so he's basically a one-tap target

[coral igloo]

Best place to find elite scorchers?

[paper phoenix]

Get Outcast CPs to level 4 or just farm the first boss at Roosevelt Island over and over

[smoky meteor]

I finally got my Sleigher... and I'm so disappointed with it. I wish it had a higher ROF to offset the drop in the snowballs.

[fervent berry]

I'd join you sometime. I've yet to clear my first legendary stronghold and I've only gone really close to doing it myself

[coral igloo]

What’s the best base game gear set for dps running true patriot rn

[plush otter]

assuming you mean at lvl30+WT5 then negotiator is the only real general red core gearset option, you also have acces to ongoing which can be setup as ok on dmg with good-ish group support version, and aces as a sniping red. the other sets arent available at that stage

[nocturne bone]

in EU game is dead

[fervent berry]

Xbox EU, game is alive and kickin'. Lots of matchmaking activity

[coral igloo]

How do you check ovr crit chance

[plush otter]

ok, we heard it all here folks, game is dead, calling time of death as 0.31 CET on jan 8th 2023, lets get the body bag in and get it to the morgue

[river wyvern]

are they making Division 3?

[fervent berry]

Div3? Not that I know of

[nocturne bone]

PC is dead. Been tring for 1 h to get a maychmake.

[gusty dove]

your best bet is if you want help on a mission call for backup

[river wyvern]

i just redownloaded the game, its been a full year since i last played. couldn't get any matchmaking going T.T

[surreal orbit]

Inventory, R1 to stats, scroll down

[gusty dove]

people seem to respond faster to backup calls than MM

[nocturne bone]

Done that as well, Game is PC dead in EU for 6 months of so.

[gusty dove]

last time i called for backup i got people to join me 🤷🏻

[river wyvern]

is The Division Heartland the pubg version of division ?

[smoky stag]

Try turnimg on GE.
Usually when theres a GE all mms are in GE actives sessions

[reef reef]

What level are you? This is a looter shooter and its been around for more than 2 years so most people are max level and doing challenging, heroic, or legendary. Plenty of people around if you are doing that, less if you arent.

[nocturne bone]

ok, nevermind, Division 2, most active game , even more than Fortnite.

[river wyvern]

whats GE?

[gusty dove]

global event

[river wyvern]

thanks! i'll try that

[reef reef]

Its not anywhere near fortnite, of course. But saying the game is dead is just not true, you are likely looking in the wrong places.

[fervent berry]

But yeah, I'd say most of the player base have WONY and are level 40. I can't say matchmaking for level 30 and below are active

[gusty dove]

what i'm wondering though, has this game always been so populair by chinese/japanese people? cuz like when i first bought the game the chat didnt seem so crazy as it is now lol

[plucky apex]

do more people do summit on heroic or legendary

[lyric totem]

me just casually strolling through the main grind just because

[smoky stag]

Still plenty of asians from.my side of the game playing.

[nocturne bone]

Im tring to play Gen Anderson for the last month, could never get someone to machmake, or even to anser for help calling.
So

[plush otter]

yep, thats the only two options that exist, with nothing in between, and you should totally not be acted hostile upon just because you came into the discord of the game you keep calling dead

[surreal orbit]

Since countdown came out, a lot less people are doing summit at all

[smoky stag]

Since the 10F nerf actually.
CD arrived at the height of 10F exp farming. Which saw more people playing summit than ever. Its not generic summit use like for loot ofc. But for technicalities sake, its the nerf that killed it.not the arrival of CD

[plush otter]

"playing"

[smoky stag]

Theres still a fair amount playing summit over at the asian servers though

[plucky apex]

okay, i just wanted to know since some guys been telling me to farm summit for vile mask rather then the target loot mission

[plush otter]

personally i was very happy with the nerf, it was only burning people out
also for someone like me that actually likes running summit it was impossible to get normal groups in matchmaking

[smoky stag]

Its still viable for target loot especially if you have issues with countdown. Can be solo too

[fervent berry]

Did any of you guys actually clear all 100 floors in one sitting? I could barely do 30 floors for the exo cache and I would already be burnt out

[smoky stag]

Not me. Didnt have the stamina to do 1 sitting

[coral igloo]

Who does it say vote to remove instead of kick

[plush otter]

did it once when they first changed it to be how it is now with selectable difficulties, took a little over 6.5 hours on hard, but was just a fun run with 4 of us mostly just running braindead, i do think there is a actual speedrun category even for it, remember seeing someone do sub 4 hours i believe
(edit: its sub 5 hours on speedrun.com but only one recorded runner) https://www.speedrun.com/the_division_2?h=The_Summit-1-100-Legendary&x=n2ygrz12-j84e19yn.jqze704q-yn2wp2en.0q5d9d2l

[low flame]

Same thing

Says that because devs said so

[coral igloo]

It wont kick the people

[low flame]

That is because everyone else isn’t voting to kick them then

[plush otter]

once there are 3 or more people in the group it swaps to vote, its so you can remove the group lead if the need exists

[coral igloo]

What if im the group lead and i need to kick 2 people because they are not doing anything and i need help with something

[fervent berry]

That sounds about right. It would take me less than 2 hrs to clear 30 floors on Normal, and then that's it. Burnt out for ages

[low flame]

You asking why it doesn’t kick someone instantly? Guess I didn’t understand your question

[low flame]

You can just leave at that point and join a new group

[coral igloo]

If i leave does it reset progress on control points

Like the level

[low flame]

If it is not your own session it does

[coral igloo]

It is

My session

[fervent berry]

Your game state shouldn't change as long as it's your session

At least from my observation, then the weekly reset happens and everything flips around 🤣

[coral igloo]

Lost the level 4 for sum reason

[thorn vigil]

Cus we left the game

[paper phoenix]

Did you wait on it?

[thorn vigil]

Been on division 2 for 10 hours so we have less brain cells so don’t mind our stupidity

[surreal orbit]

Are you level 40? Completed the warlords expansion?

[coral igloo]

No level 30 no dlc

[surreal orbit]

Ah, gotta get her back to 4 then

[paper phoenix]

So the CP alert level is on a timer. If you wait too long it'll automatically start dropping back to whatever the default for your world difficulty is.

[surreal orbit]

If you scroll up you’ll see what happened

[sterile scaffold]

Man why did this manhunt final mission have to be such a paaaaiiinnn

[paper phoenix]

'cause the devs hate us?

[sterile scaffold]

Yeah guess so, and honestly it feels the game as a whole has gotten a difficulty spike from the last time I played

Skill build isn't as useful in legendary as it seems

[bitter wraith]

What is the most efficient named item Farm?

[thick zephyr]

Was hating this polarity switch event till I changed my build.
Virginian with headhunter,gift and foxes
Headshot for days ...

[paper phoenix]

Never cared for any of the GEs aside from Reanimated and Golden Bullet.

[fervent berry]

I quite prefer Hollywood over Polarity Switch. Probably a hot take

[thick zephyr]

These 2 are the best imo

[paper phoenix]

Gone up almost 15 levels in four hours. Not bad I guess, but time for a snack break.

[bitter wraith]

Is countdown really the best named item Farm since the hunters were nerfed?

[thick zephyr]

I take whatever global events they dish out.
Better than nothing

[fervent berry]

If you're consistent every CD game, you can use your credits to get as many named caches you want @bitter wraith

I get so burnt out from CD as well. I could barely do twice in a row

[surreal orbit]

Can easily do that in an hour farming resource convoys

[surreal orbit]

Same

[paper phoenix]

Heroic and all directives?

[surreal orbit]

Challenging all directives, it’s faster for me, more xp per hour than heroic. But that’s me…

[paper phoenix]

I may be able to do that with the current build

[fervent berry]

What about going to the summit on Challenging with 6 or 8 or however many directives there are? Does it work as well if not better?

[surreal orbit]

500k xp per convoy and they take about 30 to 45 seconds. Fast traveling and running is the time consuming part.

[surreal orbit]

Not even close…

[fervent berry]

Oh, I keep forgetting f10 doesn't exist anymore

[surreal orbit]

With the current GE, might be a bit slower.

[paper phoenix]

I don't have the GE activated

Series S

[surreal orbit]

SSD?

[paper phoenix]

I don't have any of the new type of plug in drives, just the old green Seagate 2TB one for the XB1

[bitter wraith]

So just spam the caches again and again as long as I get at least 112 in each round?

[surreal orbit]

Ah, then maybe 12 levels an hour without solid state drive.

[bitter wraith]

I feel like as decent as that is, because of random RNG it seems inefficient

But then again there aren't many named items excluding dz items which will make it easier

[fervent berry]

On average I get enough creds to get 2 named caches after 1 CD session. That's with clearing the main objective, killing all the hunters, and farming until the last second of extraction. But lately for me, I've had terrible runs with matchmaking in which groups don't really know what to do. That's slowed me down and I don't necessarily see CD as an efficient way to farm caches if I'm not consistent every game

Nowadays, I take advantage of GEs and level up as quickly as possible to get those named caches from the season vendor

[bitter wraith]

2 in one game? That's about 224 credits I thought the cap is 160 or so?

[paper phoenix]

So I've been using Heroic Lincoln Memorial as kind of a build benchmark. Out of idle curiosity what's everyone's fastest Heroic time through there? I'm currently at 11:13.

[fervent berry]

Almost 2 then, I don't necessarily pay attention to how much requisition creds I get, but I make sure I get all the hunters at every run. And extracting, that's important

[bitter wraith]

If I took in unbra with shotgun and kingbreaker I could just demolish everything in their way if they couldn't kill the hunters but that would mean I wouldn't be proficiencing named dz exclusive weapons

[bitter wraith]

For extracting I usually kill the hunters then let the team finish the enemies off, pick up all the stuff then help them finish off and am always the last to extract because I'm not going to try to fight a group of enemies with all red

Could just ditch shotgun and use rifle along with the build

Then set loot to targeted weapon for hunters

[fervent berry]

If you're confident in the group to wipe everything else like the hordes of enemies and hunters, sure, just hang back and wait for the loot and extraction. But yeah, extracting successfully gets you closer to possibly getting your wanted named item from a named cache

I actually don't like using Umbra for CD myself. It's so fast paced that I barely or don't get stacks in cover but I'm mostly out of cover because everyone else is 🤣

[bitter wraith]

Despite some things being dz exclusive, should I use a strong build for CD and just use filament from the countdowns on dz only items or use items that aren't proficient and is overall weak for weapon damage?

[fervent berry]

I'd argue that you should use a strong build for CD anyway as long as you're confident enough. For DZ-exclusive items, either I would donate that ones I don't use or use printer filaments, yeah. Get those proficiency levels up. Lastly, use whichever items you want, but I use any weapon or gear on CD for proficiency levels even if they're suboptimal and what not.

[bitter wraith]

I might just use the build as it is (optimised) and use filament on dz items once all other items including skills are proficient because there's chances I might get a few before I reach that point (from conflict or named caches)

Easiest way IMO

[fervent berry]

Don't forget you can target loot gear and weapon mods for CD so you can farm all the filament you want 😂

[bitter wraith]

Isn't there theoretically a maximum of like 110 filament you can get from each run?

Which isn't exactly a lot considering the requirement is in the 10s or 100s of thousands ☠️

[frozen meadow]

112? I've never had a run with an extraction ever go that low

I normally get 183 or 208

[bitter wraith]

I meant the price for one is 112 not the accrued amount

[frozen meadow]

Price of one what

[bitter wraith]

I seem to only get 158 at capped amount

[frozen meadow]

?????

[bitter wraith]

Named cache

[frozen meadow]

158 capped? What

If you're only getting 158 something is wrong

Assuming heroic

[bitter wraith]

Wait maybe it's because I'm on challenging

[bitter wraith]

Challenging but this might be why

[frozen meadow]

Why Are you doing countdown on challenging

💀

Just do heroic

[bitter wraith]

Idk I couldn't get groups for heroic lmao

[frozen meadow]

Wtf lmao that's a surprise

[bitter wraith]

It's usually when America timezone is at like 3pm so midday for me (9 hours back)

A lot of player base is American so that could be why

[sterile scaffold]

My phone text alert is the rouge agent detected line lmao

[bitter wraith]

How has that not made you turn it off wtf

[frozen meadow]

That would piss me off

[bitter wraith]

In countdown should I switch targeted loot from printer filament to whichever named weapon or gear category I want for expertise once signal extraction phase starts?

[bitter wraith]

I feel like hearing 'rogue agent detected' every day would more lmfao

[bitter wraith]

Idk about this because rng can be crazy sometimes

[fervent berry]

I don't know if that's how the target loot mechanic works. I thought you'd have it set before the game starts (so before you begin CD, you should have your TL sorted). I'm unsure if you can change it dynamically like that during the session

[bitter wraith]

Idk if you can even change when you aren't in countdown

And I have changed it halfway through in the past

[coral igloo]

Is 4 ongoing directive 2 negotiators dilemma a good build?

[gusty dove]

no.. use 1 or the other

[merry zinc]

you can

[timber hatch]

Gearset pieces (green) aren't like a higher tier than high ends (yellow). Greens give up a minor attribute in order to get the 4p buff, so it's rarely worth running less than 4p. Gearset builds always include 2 high ends or a high end and an exotic

[fervent berry]

If that's the case, then I've certainly never known

[paper phoenix]

The no ammo thing is very different but I'm managing so far

[slim ore]

Anyone aware of the Pentagon glitch where it won't let you start the second mission because it says You must do the breach? Already did the breach completely locked out of the Pentagon mission.

[surreal orbit]

Use the gunner spec, gives ammo every 60 seconds and armor on kill.

[vocal cliff]

we are more with this problem

[surreal orbit]

Known issue

[fervent berry]

Sharpshooter spec also provides rifle and MR ammo while in cover. But hey, who uses em anyway pfff

[surreal orbit]

But isn’t it a very small amount?

[coral igloo]

I think i just started matchmaking and it fixed itself

[fervent berry]

It is, 15 rounds iirc, not very substantial at all, but it's something

[slim ore]

Don't think you can match make for it. Because it's locked? Can't replay beach mission n/a. If I sit at Pentagon and matchmake for zone maybe I could get in a breach mission? Could take forever. So Pentagon is just known unplayable?

[surreal orbit]

With gunner AOK and ammo, pistolero and no regen directives are nothing at all.

[smoky stag]

Just dont fast travel to safe houses and BOO or lose ammo

Can also recover armor.post combat by switching primary and secondary guns

[coral igloo]

Is there any armour sets that give crit chance and crit damage for putting on 2 pieces of said armour

[smoky stag]

Nego dilemma

But not both

[coral igloo]

Other than that have 2 of them on rn

For crit chance

[smoky stag]

None
Umbras is 3rd piece

What crit build are you.going for?

[surreal orbit]

1 grupo 1 ceska, but they’re high end not gear set.

[coral igloo]

Im using the gear set that gives a lot of hollow points rn can’t remember name

[coral igloo]

Exactly what im looking for ty

[thick zephyr]

Was in the dz east(I think)with no players around in some built up area with buildings.
Got blinded twice,both times after blinded,npcs came out from doors.is that normal?

[slim ore]

Providence and Sokolov 3 piece

[smoky stag]

Ah Ongoing directive.
Pair it with ceska and grupo.on chest and backpack

[coral igloo]

Honestly my fav gear set out of the 2 i have used

[surreal orbit]

He said 2 pieces?…

[brave hearth]

Hey um does anyone know how to fix The 100% CPU usage issue ive been scouring around but have not had any success. I dont have The best PC but i am right under The reccomended specs and I ran The game fine yesterday. I got a ticket out to ubi but i would be thank ful for other ideas. I couldnt find a trouble shoot channel but there is one in sorry for disturbing...

[slim ore]

I'm aware

[surreal orbit]

Excellent advice when he’s wearing 4 gear set pieces….

[slim ore]

Advice? I didn't give any advice

[surreal orbit]

Recommendation then… ffs

[coral igloo]

For the snitch card sets is there any set spawns for named npcs? I need to complete a set to get the achievement

[surreal orbit]

Every 30 minutes south of the White House

[slim ore]

I didn't recommend anything either

[surreal orbit]

#td2-general-chat message
Then what exactly would you call this?…

[coral igloo]

Is there one at a water source beneath capitol building? I always seem to find one there

[surreal orbit]

Google division 2 interactive map. It can show you all the spawn points. But south of the White House is consistent. Only get one every 30 minutes regardless

[idle wadi]

Anyone got some dark zone tips for a fellow Agent

[paper phoenix]

Also up in the circular area next to the start of the Federal Bunker mission. Usually there's a Supply Drop going on there too

[smoky orchid]

Wheres all the div 2 spreadsheet content makers 😦

[surreal orbit]

Oh yeah, I’ve killed em all multiple times

[paper phoenix]

Same

[surreal orbit]

Shd level? Or maybe commendation score?

[paper phoenix]

786

[surreal orbit]

The thing with south of the White House is he will be there every time. Anywhere else is hit or miss.

[surreal orbit]

10680, many many dead bosses

[gilded perch]

It is normal, you trigger wire, it apply you blind and summon mob

[thick zephyr]

Ah ok,been running around In dz and first time experienced it

[paper phoenix]

I'm pushing for 800 before I call it a night. 11 more levels to go.

[lean ingot]

What is the fastest way to level up

[surreal orbit]

Challenging or heroic resource convoys with as many directives as you can handle

[lean ingot]

How do you add more directives?

[surreal orbit]

Current level?

[paper phoenix]

On the same screen where you change the global difficulty is a menu for global directives as well

[lean ingot]

135

[surreal orbit]

Then what he said

[lean ingot]

Wanna grind till max because I wanna do pvp in dark zone but everyone one tapping me

[paper phoenix]

That's gonna be build dependant. I'm almost 800 and I still get one-shotted most times in the DZ

[cloud sage]

"Donate all junk" in Expertise window is broken or am I missing something?

[modest lintel]

Shd level isn’t proportional to player’s capability in dz

[lilac kestrel]

According to d2 excell spreadsheet guide the licoln memorial is the best place to farm for most stuff but why do i barely see any videos on it on youtube if it is true can some people tell me there experiences im trying to see what method there is for their to be a better chance at getting double max or god rolls or just higher end rolls is it legendarys, raids, and strongholds.

[paper phoenix]

It's all RNG, but you can run Heroic LM in sub 10 minutes over and over and over again and come away with a lot of loot.

[lilac kestrel]

More loot than a 3 or 4 stack summit run with 4 directives when i was doing that one day i got a lot of loot drops over the course of like 20+ floors

[paper phoenix]

Depends on what you define as "a lot of loot drops", but I generally come away with quite a bit and usually at least 1 Exotic every 3rd run or so.

[wheat turtle]

This mission is making me feel dumb x-x

[paper phoenix]

Which one?

[wheat turtle]

I posted the screenshot of where I'm having trouble. I have to Locate Parnell's remote server.

It's in the ask channel

sigh

[paper phoenix]

All the convoy activity just died off

[orchid roost]

Why is the expansion control points always green.

[paper phoenix]

you can reset them

[elfin hazel]

theres no stronghold/control points for enemy factions to come out of to takeover control points so you have to reset them to do them again

[paper phoenix]

I kinda fucked up. Found a near god-rolled Fenris chest piece that actually had better rolls than my current one and deconstructed my old one instead of pulling Obliterate off of it.

[lean ingot]

Is the heartbreaker armor still good for DZ or conflict?

[modest lintel]

since when it was good?

[lean ingot]

What?

[gilded perch]

Good, unless you meet build with pulse resistance

[thick zephyr]

Which is why I stop using kingbreaker build.
Most people I die to have pulse resistance

[gilded perch]

then try skill build
Most people don't have hazard pro build

[smoky stag]

question: does pulse resist also make you immune from banshee?

[gilded perch]

banshee apply pulse and status at same time, pulse resis won't immune status effect, resistance won't immune pulse also

[azure lintel]

wtf anyone know how to access ubisoft+ games ??

[midnight skiff]

If I wanted the special Hyena materials for optimizing could i do tier 4 contra points or how do i get them?

[vocal fulcrum]

how do i know what gear to keep and delete? I haven't played this game in so long

[vocal cliff]

Unless I'm searching for something specifically I tend to only keep set pieces with high armor/weapon damage rolls
Otherwise it becomes a nightmare when sifting through gear

[azure lintel]

How to get a capacitor weapon

[vocal cliff]

two sources on reddit say do five summit challenges shrugs google is your friend my friend

[oak prawn]

Do 5 summit challenges

That is how you get the capacitor

[paper phoenix]

Right now I'm only accepting gear with max or near max rolls. If it's not one optimization away from max then it's gone.

[azure lintel]

by playing the game

[primal skiff]

Heyo i am doing fire starter research and in that does bloodhound have to die while the bleed is applied or can I kill him any time after its applied once

[low flame]

Any time after

[crystal umbra]

Can I ask someone something that knows what they are doing?

[cloud sage]

Very few people know what they're doing. Many think they do though.

[crystal umbra]

I understand I’m sorry

[reef reef]

whats up

might not be able to help, might be able

who knows

[crystal umbra]

How do you get the division 2 donate a gear piece with the perfectly unbreakable talent

[reef reef]

Look for an item called the "Zero Fs". Its a named item under the Badger Tuff brandset.

[crystal umbra]

Thank you I’ll check very well appreciated

[reef reef]

Farm out Badger Tuff for a few missions, you are likely to get it there. Named items are the only ones with "perfect" talents, but some have nonstandard stats like Fox's Prayer, which has damage to target out of cover, a stat usually found on weapons. The spreadsheet pinned in build advice has a list of all named items.

[crystal umbra]

Awesome Ty

[coral igloo]

Is there many exotics in base game rn i have sawyers kneepads chameleon and chatterbox

[reef reef]

Theres a few, most are in the DLC though.

[quick tendon]

o7 Made L30 last night, but I still haven't finished the main missions nor even put a toe into the strongholds. And I'm still a rainbow (rarity colours that is, not the RYB) and varying levels at that too. But I finally got a L30/HE vector (yay!), although shotgun could've been better sigh

aaaanway it's been awhile, especially from the console, but do I change WT AFTER I finish the the strongholds (DCU, Roosevelt, Capitol) or ?

What's the quickest way to go from WT1 to WT5?

Does going into like WT5 wipe out the side missions, or will they still be there?

There's not much matchmaking for Story/sub-30s is there? 😄 And I haven't found Cassie yet. pout

[reef reef]

Every time you finish a stronghold, you advance a world level

[surreal orbit]

Sounds like your strongholds are still blue, is that the case? @quick tendon

[quick tendon]

Big ol' Red Skulls, last I checked last night before I went to bed (did Jefferson Plaza). I'm still going thru the story missions (can't tell which is primary MSQ and which are secondary fluffs-theater/campus/BoO)

Hopefully I'll get thru them this week. I should make check-list!

[surreal orbit]

If your level 30, there should not be any red skulls? Your max level. You need to complete all main missions and strongholds to reach world tier 1. You will not lose the side missions unless you use the level boost to world tier 5. If you play through they will still be there.

[shy dagger]

Anyone have a picture of all possible locations for loot goblin in open world? i know only a few

[quick tendon]

Okay, will check again, when I get home. (darn work!) and see about stabbing the three strongholds later this week, and work on the mains (hopefully I know which is what) meanwhile.

One thing I will say, compared to the PS5, the sounds and graphics seems to be much better on the PC (either that, or the 5.1 is different from the PS5's routed thru my HTS). It's been awhile so I could be wrong.

Rather cool to stand there, hearing the sound of the storm slowly brewing, sky changing... the downpour and lightning. Dust storms! Which reminds me, do NPCs get affected by the visuals as well, the low-vis that is?

[fading knoll]

Which raid do you unlock eagle bearer

[surreal orbit]

Dark hours

[fading knoll]

Thanks

[keen lily]

can you get endorsed more then once in 1 back up call?

[shy dagger]

no

[surreal orbit]

The larger hexagons are the main missions. The strongholds have like a barn and water tower icon. Its possible that you will need to complete certain missions before you have access to a particular stronghold. Hope that helps.

[surreal orbit]

I believe yes, they changed it a while back to were you get one automatically, and another if the player selects it. It was changed because so many players don’t know how to endorse, and thus weren’t doing it causing the shepherds to get upset.

[inner elbow]

In a way, yes. When you meet a certain xp threshold you are endorsed twice, once by the game and once by the group leader (depends if they want to, or know how to). Meeting subsequent xp thresholds will only give xp boosts

[azure lintel]

this chat is just like this game, dead

[gusty dove]

complaining about it def wont help 💀

[azure lintel]

so stating facts is complaining ?? aight

[fervent berry]

slow chat doesn't mean dead though, that is a fact

[azure lintel]

a chat that is always slow means its dead

[gusty dove]

what you are doing is complaining, clearly dont know the difference 🤣

[coral igloo]

How do you earn skill points for specialisations?

[gusty dove]

leveling up

[coral igloo]

Im already max gear score

[azure lintel]

you are dumb lol, you dont even know what complaining means 'the expression of dissatisfaction or annoyance about something.'
im neither dissatisfied nor annoyed

[gusty dove]

idk, clearly you are annoyed by this game being dead so 🤷🏻

[fervent berry]

dude, you just equivocated "slow" and "dead". Anyway, back to TF2 content

[azure lintel]

what makes you think that ??

[surreal orbit]

Time of day does make a difference you know….

[azure lintel]

that is a fact, not me complaining

[azure lintel]

so there is only one country in this world ?? aight

[surreal orbit]

You need to be wearing the specialization, then every field proficiency will give 3 points, and invaded missions and strongholds give 5 points your first run through.

[vocal fulcrum]

Anyone know how to fix the charlie-03 error code. My game was running just fine last night

[azure lintel]

just delete the game, if no game then no charile if there is no problem then you dont need to fix the problem

[vocal fulcrum]

real

[surreal orbit]

My comment was because at this time the chat is slow, later it will be much more active. But you seem to only want conflict, so I’m out.

[gusty dove]

even clowns have more iq than this dude

[surreal orbit]

Agreed

[azure lintel]

bruh why are you so stupid ?? not everyone is from where you live lmao, just cause at this time everyone is sleeping where you live doesnt mean its night everywhere lmao so dumb

Flanethrower isnt as good as i thought it would be 😕

[tender wave]

none of the spec weapons are really that great imo. Some of the skills are, though

[surreal orbit]

The grenade launcher can be fun

[gusty dove]

some of the spec weapons are great for DH though but thats all they are good for lol

[tender wave]

true, but only temporarily then you run out of ammo (unless Golden Bullet is active)

[azure lintel]

they need to buff skills

[timber hatch]

Tac50 is great

[tender wave]

despite running sniper 60% of the time I almost always forget I have the tac50 as an option

limited ammo & swap speed just make it an awkward pick

[woeful atlas]

How do I progress to general Anderson I've done all 4 people and his is still locked

[sweet star]

^

[tender wave]

have you actually killed all four people? Are their portraits crossed out?

[surreal orbit]

What is the percentage at?

[tender wave]

also you need to talk to Kelso again I think

[woeful atlas]

Yes all crossed out.. where do I find Kelso? Sorry I'm new to the game so I'm still getting used to it

[tender wave]

at the white house, just follow the quest markers

[woeful atlas]

I haven't got a quest marker

[woeful atlas]

50%

Oh shoot just realised they're not crossed out.. Maybe I have more bounties

[tender wave]

if it's at 50% then you haven't done the four targets, you've only unlocked them - you need to look for the yellow bounty icons

[woeful atlas]

Okay thanks 😊

[tender wave]

np, it's a common mistake

[woeful atlas]

There's a lot to this game can sometimes be quite confusing

[tender wave]

yeah there's lots of subtleties that aren't made very obvious

[quick tendon]

Another silly Q.

Anyone have the googledrive link for the spreadsheet/doc for the various weapons/armour?
(def wanting to know of the scorpion and coyote at least of where/how to get - trying to rebuild from my PS loadout)

[tender wave]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nrPBmOrtpkEW1j5fbcRT7L-AXgsGOqMqxXoVtopsiGM/edit#gid=1509999994

for future reference, the link is pinned in #td2-build-advice

both scorpio and coyote can be farmed pretty much anywhere, although coyote's also has a decent chance of dropping from Coyote herself (named boss of Jefferson Trade Centre)

[quick tendon]

Much appreciated! I figured Coyote from her, but sometimes missions gives them too, thus couldn't remember exactly. I need to do her (not literally) soon. but being at L30 currently, it's not gonna do much but it's something to do when I hit L40 later on.

I know that, but need help with that, is to hard for solo, i cant do that. So im here, if i will find someone go to help me.

[reef reef]

#lfg-pc

[surreal orbit]

Completely possible with heroic resource convoys and all directives

go find a floor 90 leggo group to help u in lfg

[reef reef]

what was the guy's SHD level 20 hours ago? what is it now?
also gimme IGN. i can check legitimacy if on PC

if I have the username i can use isacbot to check for anomalous headshot ratios at least

[nocturne mango]

20 hrs ago, i dont think i would have cared as he was just joining clan - so a newbie to the clan

[heavy prism]

cxp is not rlly a good indicator of true xp gain

[nocturne mango]

thats what i thought

[surreal orbit]

True, disregard previous statement

[smoky stag]

i dont recall cxp and shd leveling xp being equal tho iirc

so just an estimation

[heavy prism]

I've got 1.5B cxp in 10 hours before, only 400 to 500 lvl gain

I'm familiar with the Hunters on 100th Floor (loved it). Or sometimes some random instances in the the various missions.
Just not sure where they normally appear in the open world otherwise.

If anything, it'll be a nice space hog in the Stash. (Sleigh/Carol)
I don't recall christmas themed weapons before. 😮

[surreal orbit]

Randoms are rogue agents, not hunters

[covert frost]

be it possible to obtain the winter mask still?

[surreal orbit]

Check YouTube for how to spawn hunters in the open world

[frozen meadow]

cooki

[quick tendon]

Ahhh! Right... rogue agents. duh I've been gone way too long. darn MMOs and battlefield.

[coral igloo]

What does oh carols talent do

[frozen meadow]

spawn fireworks on hs kill

[tender wave]

looks pretty, doesn't actually do anything in terms of gameplay

[desert crystal]

i didnt not that

[surreal orbit]

Define winter mask?

[quick tendon]

Doesn't Eagle Bearer do something similar (another pistol?), only with like blood or exploding heads? 🤔

sigh I am not gonna go for that again. twitches

[merry zinc]

fr

[low flame]

That’s the regulus

[merry zinc]

regulus has an explosion

[covert frost]

umm... well it goes into the mask slot... has 3 gear slots...

[frozen meadow]

id say its more similar to TP

[low flame]

You mean the chill out mask with two gear mod slots? I think that can still be obtained not sure though

[merry zinc]

@frozen meadow when countdown again

[coral igloo]

Does 1 million dmg headshot

[frozen meadow]

im doing it rn wdym

[merry zinc]

wtf

[tender wave]

right, but that's a function of the base weapon - White Death will do the same base damage but you get to choose a useful talent as well.

tbf it is fun to use, explodey headshots are extra satisfying, it just isn't meta if you care about that

[surreal orbit]

1 million hs is tiny for marksman rifle…

[frozen meadow]

w/o HH it should be around 5-7

i wish we had a legendary countdown tbh

[low flame]

Leg countdown would need to be like 2 hours long or more to even complete it

[frozen meadow]

it wouldnt be for average players

but its defo doable in 15

[low flame]

Leg enemies are already tanks and deal tons of damage. Imagine that but scaled to eight

[tender wave]

no matchmaking like normal raids, might keep out the 'average' players

[merry zinc]

leg countdown with a full team of <100 shd

[frozen meadow]

id love to see matchmaking just to see how it turns out lmfao

texts i love you to gf
game crashes
;-;

[frozen meadow]

im booting back on then ill inv you

'cept youre offline

[merry zinc]

soon

[tender wave]

raise a ticket with ubisoft support.

[frozen meadow]

server just went down lmfao

[merry zinc]

crash is new feature 😄

[fervent berry]

If there's somehow a way for me to terraform my Xbox into a PC with my current toon, I'll play with you guys

[valid dragon]

Anyone down to play

[quick tendon]

Not home yet, and I'm still in my 30s.

[coral igloo]

Do you need year 1 pass to get the other manhunts

[deep rune]

any idea why my game freezes and crashes, happened 3 times within an hour

[tender wave]

no, just WONY

[coral igloo]

So i get them when i complete campaign

[tender wave]

yeah, not the whole manhunt but the final manhunt mission

which is where you get the skills/exotics/hunter mask

[nocturne beacon]

It says I have the manhunts but when I click l1 to view it doesn’t work

[tender wave]

have you completed the Warlords dlc?

[nocturne beacon]

No do I need it

[tender wave]

yes, for manhunts or indeed pretty much everything added to the game in the last two years

[nocturne beacon]

Yeah some guy dropped me a mask when I was like level 5 and I was wondering why it said level 38, but you can’t go above level 30 without the dlc right?

[tender wave]

correct

[midnight skiff]

once i unlock the manhunt missions for past seasons, i get to play the full manhunt correct and obtain all the intel?

[reef reef]

no

[azure lintel]

they add seasonal rewards to general loot pool after the season ends right ??

[reef reef]

they add the named items and base versions to either the DZ exclusive pool or the general loot pool when the season starts, exotics when the season ends (or when you get the exotic, whichever is first)

[azure lintel]

so we dont miss out on anyhting if we dont play yes ??

[reef reef]

you'll miss out on the cosmetics but not much else, might be hard to get later however

[azure lintel]

why do enemies do so much damage wtf

[reef reef]

To dissuade you from getting shot.

[cloud sage]

So you'll have to approach them tactically and take cover once in a while.

[reef reef]

Its not great for your continued well being.

[azure lintel]

this playstyle is not good, their 1 bullet does so much damage lol

[reef reef]

Then dont get shot. Use cover or a shield.

[azure lintel]

yeah im just gonna build a turrent build and never peek

[reef reef]

Have fun taking an hour extra per mission.

[azure lintel]

idk this flying and stationary turret doing pretty well

there is a status build too right ?? i heard its pretty good

[reef reef]

It is fundamentally slower than just shooting someone with a gun, especially if solo. However, it is safer.

Status is good, but more as a support build.

[azure lintel]

what about seeker and sticky ??

[reef reef]

bit different, also hard to use solo.

[bitter wraith]

Named item farming is tedious af

Especially when it's not a guaranteed named cache

[reef reef]

what are you going for

[azure lintel]

what build requires you to not use weapons then ??

[surreal orbit]

Man look at all this activity!… game must be dead…. lol

[reef reef]

turret and drone, but again- slow, and you are better off using weapons to increase your turret and drones damage, via Harmony, Capacitor, or Test Subject.

[azure lintel]

is buillet turret is the only good one ?? fire ?

[reef reef]

Never said drone turret was good. It is safe, but slow.

Just get good at realising what enemies can see you, and not popping out of cover to run at a group of enemies.

[bitter wraith]

Dz a good place to farm named items?

Countdown seems inefficient idk

[reef reef]

?

if its not a DZ named item, dont bother going into DZ for it.

If it is and you dont like DZ, run countdown. If you like DZ, good luck.

[azure lintel]

no i asked if bullet turret is the only good turret ??

[bitter wraith]

This to me?

[reef reef]

Yes

[reef reef]

Artillery turret sees some use, but requires you to be on Demo.

[bitter wraith]

Oh er well I defo like dz more than I used to and it just seems better than countdown because higher chance of success (except for of course if you get attacked during extraction)

And mostly snipers rn

So snipers targeted but also printer filament

[azure lintel]

artillery is poop solo tbh

[reef reef]

if it is not a DZ exclusive named item, dont go into DZ for it- theres no reason.

[reef reef]

so you ask for help, get help, then say the advice is wrong. Gotcha.

[bitter wraith]

What if there are ones I need that are exclusive?

Trying to max expertise

[reef reef]

Then get 1 copy of the sniper and use it.

[bitter wraith]

In what game mode?

[reef reef]

Named caches and getting lucky.

[midnight skiff]

you say no that i don’t unlock old manhunts, do i just unlock the final missions?

[azure lintel]

never said you are wrong, im just agreeing with what you have been saying skill builds might be bad solo

[reef reef]

Just the final missions.

[midnight skiff]

is there any way to obtain that missing intel?

[reef reef]

Each final mission has a few, but the rest you have to wait.

Also stop pinging me.

That goes for everyone.

[midnight skiff]

bummer but thanks for the help

[bitter wraith]

Takes a while but I guess this is the best option ngl

[reef reef]

dude, replying to a post pings the person

you have to turn it off for it not to

[bitter wraith]

Not even going to bother with that trash countdown team. They all died to the hunters. They won't survive extraction

How much expertise xp is one kill?

[reef reef]

check your #s, go kill 1 person outside the BoO, check again.

[fervent berry]

It appears to be a % of combat XP earned - on heroic a red, NPC kill awarded 220 PXP, while a chunga kill earned 330 PXP.
https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/comments/urjz2f/a_quick_guide_to_the_expertise_system_for_those/

[bitter wraith]

So on average 250

[azure lintel]

nerf npc damage and health

[bitter wraith]

So about 3500 enemies oof

[reef reef]

Get better, and get your build sorted.

[bitter wraith]

What difficulty you on?

[azure lintel]

heroic

[fervent berry]

Get a Spotter Flatline build going and you'll shred those NPCs on Heroic much easily with that amp damage

[bitter wraith]

Or use umbra and use cover mowing down everything in your path

[fervent berry]

i used to be a non-believer, but after slapping it on my HF build, I believe.

[bitter wraith]

Alongside a kingbreaker shreds

[azure lintel]

a single bullet shouldnt do this much damage

[reef reef]

use a shield or dont get shot.

[azure lintel]

one nade destroys my whole armor and health and im alive with barely enough ?? wtf

[reef reef]

This is a tactical shooter, not a call of duty game.

[bitter wraith]

It's heroic...I once got one shot by a red normal enemy when I had 2 mil armour

[reef reef]

Oneshot protection. happens from time to time.

[bitter wraith]

'Not COD game' ngl cod is the same plus I agree

[stiff raft]

once im lvl 40 am i on tier 5 or is tier not a thing anymore

[reef reef]

tier doesnt exist after you start the DLC

[azure lintel]

since when ??

[reef reef]

you are just level 40. No gearscore, no world tiers. You are looking at difficulties now.

[reef reef]

Since WONY at the latest, probably before.

[smoky meteor]

Some day my gear will be good enough to move past Normal.

[azure lintel]

this game was never a tatical shooter, they nerfed us in wony made us squishy asf

[bitter wraith]

Bruh the amount of people who got no idea they are the host makes me want to make countdown only available at a certain SHD level

[reef reef]

This game has always been a tactical cover shooter.

[tender wave]

Turn the difficulty down then, leave heroic for those that actually want a challenge

[reef reef]

You keep complaining that stuff does so much damage and all, while saying this game isnt a tactical shooter. What a joke.

[fervent berry]

Why don't you just create your CD lobby, wait for others, and start when filled?

[azure lintel]

we have been running and gunning since div1

we run and gun in div2 too before wony patch

[smoky meteor]

I wouldn't dare to run and gun in Div2 without lots of Armor on Kill... Things hurt.

[reef reef]

Now i know why you complain so much. Running and gunning is a thing few builds can manage.

[fervent berry]

I mean, you can still run n gun with WONY and after it, but it ain't much progress on Heroic+

[azure lintel]

yeah tell me which one are those

[tender wave]

You still can with regulus hf hh

[reef reef]

Hunters fury, Regulus HH, HF HH.

[tender wave]

Takes good aim though

[reef reef]

Umbra as well, and Heartbreaker too.

[reef reef]

Also dont ping me.

[azure lintel]

what is hh ??

[reef reef]

headhunter. Chest talent.

[bitter wraith]

I quite simply give up on countdown. Try to grind filament for the grindy af expertise? Game crash. Try to get named items from hunters? Game crash

This gamemode is almost a year old and a bug that's been in it since launch still isn't fixed...

[azure lintel]

think striker would make a good run and gun build if they give it its healing back

[fervent berry]

What console are you on? I've been running CD on mine and it's been running well so far

[bitter wraith]

Tbh at this point it's so ridiculous that I might have to just forget expertise

And then forget this game even exists

[bitter wraith]

Xbox series x. Constant crashing every 3 countdowns as always

[fervent berry]

That's very odd, I'm gaming on a Series X too but rarely do I crash on CD

Possibly a network related thing?

[bitter wraith]

The fact you even crashed at all is what I hate about ubisoft

[bitter wraith]

If it was network it would disconnect not crash and erase the last 15 minutes of me even doing the countdown

So fkin ridiculous

[fervent berry]

Net DCs could still sometimes make the game crash hard. Like when you DC and then your UI freezes and everything is shot to bits

[surreal orbit]

Scorpio, Capacitor, Kingbreaker, my TKB with strained, Lefty and Regulus, all now at expertise 20. That only took 330 exotic components…. lol

[bitter wraith]

330 exo...what

330 though? Why is expertise even a thing lmao

[reef reef]

Theres a reason they kept the healing out of striker.

[surreal orbit]

20% additional weapons damage is nice.

[azure lintel]

hopefully they will bring back classified cause right now there is no reason to use 6 pieces

[bitter wraith]

How you even get to 20 in the first place. I'm stuck at 13 or 14 because my team keeps dying in CD or crashes constantly

[frozen meadow]

Skill issue

[bitter wraith]

Reaching expertise 20 seems impossible at least with only doing countdown

[frozen meadow]

I'm at 21

:D

[bitter wraith]

From grinding what?

[frozen meadow]

Countdown

[reef reef]

Really hope they dont. Classifieds were never a great idea, and they provided more balancing problems than solutions.

[bitter wraith]

Lucky. You actually get decent teams unlike me

[frozen meadow]

Didn't we diagnose you did challenging

It was that someone else

[azure lintel]

balance is not a problem in pve, its a pvp problem and i dont think anyone takes this games pvp seriously

[bitter wraith]

Maybe I should just use my original umbra build, attempt to shred everything and use countdown solely for weekly vendor expertise donations and named caches

[frozen meadow]

People take this games pvp seriously. I'm not elaborating that you just have to trust me

[reef reef]

You complain about "the only attachments people use are CHC ones" and then go and say that, knowing full well it was pretty much exclusively 6pc classified sets with a heavy striker bias in D1?

[bitter wraith]

In d1 striker seemed useless for pvp

[frozen meadow]

I use an 8x on my famas

[bitter wraith]

Tried it got destroyed every time lol

[fervent berry]

Eevee in the zone with that tunnel vision

[bitter wraith]

Is 160k or more printer filament a lot to grind for?

[azure lintel]

they can always nerf classified and make them not the best in the game, right now theres a good balance between yellow and green, they can do the same with classified by giving something more by using 6 pieces

[frozen meadow]

Hey it's a great damage increase lol

[bitter wraith]

Ngl I give up on countdown

[frozen meadow]

D:

[bitter wraith]

What's the easiest solo game mode to spam for expertise xp kills?

[frozen meadow]

Uhhh

[fervent berry]

Just run Summit floors for a while and you might get significant progress with proficiency leveling

[frozen meadow]

Yeah that

[surreal orbit]

You get 500 printer filament for 50 watch points… just sayin

[frozen meadow]

Okay so a full item takes what, 30000?

I can't remember the exact numbers

[bitter wraith]

Despite that being boring probably worth it tbh countdown is impossible without a crash every hour so I'll just do this

[surreal orbit]

Don’t know, but I spent over 700,000 printer filaments…. 🤣😆😂

[bitter wraith]

I have many questions but how tf did you even get that much?

[frozen meadow]

I get like one or two CD crashes a week

Wony runs

[bitter wraith]

I only got SHD 1.15k

[bitter wraith]

On normal?

[surreal orbit]

Wony runs are story mode. 4-5 hours and done

[fervent berry]

Ideally as high of a diff as you can, but sure, Normal diff might work

[frozen meadow]

I have almost 4000

So that's what uh

[bitter wraith]

How long you been using that character for?

[frozen meadow]

300k a character

[frozen meadow]

Since release why

[bitter wraith]

About 8k filament

[bitter wraith]

Oh nvm then

[frozen meadow]

I never did F10 or convoys

[bitter wraith]

2500 enemies for one full item

On normal...

2500 enemies for one item to go from rank 0 to proficient

2500

[frozen meadow]

Cool

[bitter wraith]

OK wheres the best enemy farming spot. I need a lot of kills

[frozen meadow]

Summit or countdown

Or convoys forgot about that

[fervent berry]

Maybe try joining a group that is going for a legendary summit run. Lots of XP to get from there

[bitter wraith]

I'll just go do countdown again on challenging not heroic

[azure lintel]

why is optimization so expensive wtf

[frozen meadow]

Just don't optimize ezpz

[bitter wraith]

Why is expertise even more expensive

[frozen meadow]

They don't want everyone running around with godrolls

Or max expertised guns

Only the determined

[azure lintel]

if that isnt what they want then why put it in game >??

[frozen meadow]

wdym

its for players who actually are determined to be better

which is why i still wish legendary countdown existed

[azure lintel]

so you make a difficult game and put still only for those who no life the game ?? thats how you lose players not gain lmao

[frozen meadow]

i dont no life the game

hell i barely have time to play the game

[bitter wraith]

Tbh the ones in the tens or hundreds of thousands of shd level are the ones who no life the game

[frozen meadow]

hundreds is usually cheating

[bitter wraith]

Yh nevermind maybe countdown is the best grinding way

[bitter wraith]

Hundreds of thousands? Yeah unless they quote literally no life the game

[frozen meadow]

even then

[bitter wraith]

This is why I hate expertise

[frozen meadow]

then dont do it, you dont need to

[bitter wraith]

You do for the dz

[frozen meadow]

no you dont lol

[fervent berry]

This game is as difficult as you make it to be. Obv, it becomes more difficult if you ain't got the proper mindset and build to clear missions and what not

[frozen meadow]

to run your every day commonplace AR build to faceblast enemies you do

you can still totally win w/o it

[bitter wraith]

I just got no clue what the best way to reach expertise 21 is considering I don't want to no life the game

[frozen meadow]

dont expect to reach 21 without lots of effort

even once you do, reaching an item that high is another story

since it takes 75 exotic components

[fervent berry]

Eevee, how many key caps have you switched to get to level 21?

[frozen meadow]

xD

[bitter wraith]

I'll just carry on with what I was doing originally. Challenging countdown

[frozen meadow]

i switched my keycaps a day ago but swapped back cuz it was too tall

i did swap my aluminum plate to a carbon fibre one tho

need to adjust to the weird sound it produced, not what i expected lol

[azure lintel]

shd lvl farm is insane too lmao

[frozen meadow]

not really

[bitter wraith]

Heroic is pointless because no one else can put a dent in the enemies plus the crashes so heroic just seems like a very slow grind. Challenging seems tedious but just about bearable over a few months

[frozen meadow]

no one else can put a dent in the enemies

i dont need to say it you just know it

[bitter wraith]

Then they all end up dead instantly

[fervent berry]

I'd argue that Heroic CD is pointMORE because the loot is immaculate

[frozen meadow]

you get more requisition which i argue is more beneficial towards expertise

[azure lintel]

he is right heroic is insanely hard

[frozen meadow]

i dont think so

[fervent berry]

Btw, what region are you on? If I have time, I'll play with you and wipe some CD matches on the way

[azure lintel]

and legendary is impossible not even worth trying

[frozen meadow]

i dont consider heroic difficult by any means

[bitter wraith]

One cache after every countdown seems the way to do it tbh

Remainder used to donate mass amounts of stuff

[bitter wraith]

Europe

[frozen meadow]

i decon everything nowadays lol

[surreal orbit]

Legendary is fun, especially speed runs.

[frozen meadow]

legendary is too uh

linear? idk how to word it

theres no randomness to it, same thing every time

[fervent berry]

If Spongebob Squarepants had chad-like muscles, that's legendary difficulty for ye

[azure lintel]

you guys have god rolls that why yall dont struggle

[frozen meadow]

i really think a legendary cd would be absolutely fun

[fervent berry]

bruh, we're neighbours. where my invite at?
jk, i'm kinda unavailable atm tho lmao

[surreal orbit]

And most heroic content you can solo easily with a good build and by playing smart.

[frozen meadow]

mhm

i could also go for a raid hard mode

[quick tendon]

Another Q: Jeff Trade Center shows Replay. Jefferson Plaza/AHM/A&S shows completed.

Does this mean JTC didn’t count?

[frozen meadow]

what is ahm/a&s

[surreal orbit]

Heroic used to be much harder to solo, but we still did it. even without god rolls.

[frozen meadow]

oh nvm

[frozen meadow]

it doesnt mean that

[azure lintel]

which is why they need to make it easier

[frozen meadow]

wtf making heroic easier is idiotic

[surreal orbit]

Again? Screw that, too easy as it is.

[frozen meadow]

im still pissed off about the anderson mission nerf

i loved the mission til they nerfed it into oblivion

[azure lintel]

they made it harder not easy in wony

[fervent berry]

Base Heroic diff is already the easiest Heroic you can get now. If it's any more difficult, you add any or all directives on top of that

[azure lintel]

if it is too easy then dont use your op stuff

[frozen meadow]

i can go in with all crafted items and do it

[surreal orbit]

Whatever, get a better build, learn a better strategy…

[azure lintel]

no

[frozen meadow]

"make a better build"
"no"

[surreal orbit]

They never learn…

[fervent berry]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[frozen meadow]

still pissed off about the anderson nerf tho

[surreal orbit]

Just gripe and complain

[frozen meadow]

no point complaining i know the devs dont care lol

[quick tendon]

Sooo… I need to redo it?

[frozen meadow]

idk what youre doing so maybe

[reef reef]

All i've seen you do is complain. Lets try learning what to do and what not to before complaining again, ok?

[fervent berry]

I think if a mission says "Replay", it means that you've done and completed it already. But somehow, you managed to reset it or change mission modes to where you can replay the mission again

[frozen meadow]

i still want a legendary countdown lol, would be fun af

defo drag veteran players back into it

[bitter wraith]

My team just died to normal enemies...what

[frozen meadow]

what i want is a mission difficult enough to where you will actually have no idea going into it if you'll succeed
