[green meteor]

thx, found it

[bitter wraith]

Huh this game is dead ngl

[green meteor]

was in a group and it didnt allow me to fast travel

[bitter wraith]

Not really anything to do that's actually fun now

[sturdy cape]

ok then, see ya

[bitter wraith]

I think it's finally time to let this game die out for another half year

[potent condor]

i mean

[bitter wraith]

If pvp was actually fun like it was in division 1 this game wouldn't be considered dead by a lot of people

[sturdy cape]

lots of people consider it alive, shrug

[bitter wraith]

All you see in pvp is 2 - 4 groups working together with near maxed expertise

[sturdy cape]

if you're not having fun, go find something that is fun

you seem to end up in here complaining an awful lot

[bitter wraith]

So it's literally impossible to do anything other than kill the occasional rogue which gets boring after a while

[bitter wraith]

I'll go do just that

[surreal orbit]

See ya! 👋

[potent condor]

raids, make friends?

[sturdy cape]

same goes for everyone ya know? if you're not having fun, it's probably time to move on

[surreal orbit]

Ever since he first joined really…

[potent condor]

sometimes fun is subjective

[bitter wraith]

When's this update?

[cloud sage]

I like doing unfun things, I think it builds character.

[potent condor]

you bought the game and if you're not enjoying it might as well shelve it until it becomes fun

[cloud sage]

Doing too much fun stuff all the time makes you soft.

[bitter wraith]

Probably because there are a lot of things broken

[bitter wraith]

Yh true

[sturdy cape]

everyone is playing the same game, complaining so much is not standard

[potent condor]

that's what i do with games i buy that get boring

i shove them aside till they become fun or i just don't play them anymore

[balmy cedar]

Drink warm milk for the rest of the day

[bitter wraith]

Half the problem is when something is fun to use it gets nerfed

To the point there literally isn't any good build other than something that has been used for 50+ hours

So it's really just group up kill a few people log off

I'll just shelve the game for a bit

[sturdy cape]

sounds wise

[bitter wraith]

👍

It's fun but gets repetitive after a while

[bitter wraith]

Raids are hell with inexperienced people

[plush otter]

yes, all of those huge nerfs, all 2 of them, nvm that several things were buffed and are now either good, or the best

[bitter wraith]

Heartbreaker for example seems obsolete for pvp

1v4 against expertise lvl 20s? Dead. 1v1 against expertise 20? Dead.

[potent condor]

how are people going to learn raids if no one teaches them then

[sturdy cape]

sigh...and it begins again

[plush otter]

yes, the set put in together with its counter from the first day of release, is indeed not suitable as it has a counter

[potent condor]

you're just creating a cycle of never ending nonsense

[bitter wraith]

Most do them once and never again

[surreal orbit]

I’m surprised you lasted this long. All you ever do is complain…

[potent condor]

don't teach newbies then shit on them

that's what destiny 2 does

🤣

[bitter wraith]

Because this game is good and bad at the same time. If there weren't so many (minor) bugs then it would be better overall

[sturdy cape]

@bitter wraith most people that view the game so negatively just move on though

[bitter wraith]

Don't even mention destiny...gave up on that trash after like 3 days solo lmao

[bitter wraith]

I know. I'll probably stop playing solo in the dz

Unless it's purely for fun

[potent condor]

i have 698 hours but yes solo on destiny is not fun

that's why i quit a lot and stop playing until i can find a decent group of people to game with

i play single player games alone not multiplayer

[sturdy cape]

pvp with matchmaking can be good imo. solo DZ ain't for me at all

[main delta]

Solo dz can be fun when you end up grouping with randoms trying to clear CPs

[balmy cedar]

Can’t trust em tho 🥲

[lunar nimbus]

For shotguns, the damage showed in the inventory is damage per pellet or the whole bullet?

[plush otter]

its the combined of 8 pellets

so each shot

as all shotties also only do 8 pellets

[broken solstice]

its not a very good indicator of how much damage it will actually do. i have a KSG that says 1.4 million. and when i proc pummel, it hits 1.1 million per crit pellet

[abstract dew]

which raid has the eagle AR

[sturdy cape]

dark hours

[abstract dew]

hard to learn?

[sturdy cape]

the raid?

[abstract dew]

yep

[broken solstice]

na

[sturdy cape]

i dont think so, no. that AR is coming to the DZ in the next season too btw

[abstract dew]

so will there be a new exotic(or multiple) that are raid exclusive?

[sturdy cape]

just another way to the the eagle bearer i believe

i think the raids are worth trying regardless, if that's your thing they can be a lot of fun

[broken solstice]

you'll be able to get ravenous too. the only exotics that wont have a chance to drop in the DZ are regulus and nemesis. those are still locked behind projects

[sturdy cape]

oh cool

[idle veldt]

can i get waveform exotic if i havent got it yet from season pass

[elfin hazel]

yes

[plush otter]

that list back there is a bit longer than those 2, and nemesis isnt a project

[broken solstice]

yea it is

nemesis you have to collect the pieces at least

unless its in the general loot pool now?

[plush otter]

project is already a ingame term,
and the list of project exos would then be regulus (not planned to be added to dz), ridgway and dodge city would drop after you do the projects,
and then that leaves the crafting exotics like liberty, chatterbox, nemesis that wont drop till you have acces to the blueprint,
and the season 9 exos also wont drop from TL unintendedly unless you got the blueprint last season

[broken solstice]

liberty is in general loot pool now isnt it?

[plush otter]

not till you have the blueprint, and that drops with the final part

Exotic Drop Locations and Chances in this reddit sheet lays it all out, yellow ones need something done, like getting the blueprint https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTJEX5DerCvOj3a_m36TRy1gPBAUvrduOIdmXI9j1Y0MpQk1wIXaZ9KOcPa7HzXzp_N5qGmjDj6yEfL/pubhtml#

before they are in your exotics pool

[broken solstice]

oh cool

[lone flax]

Where is the clan vendor?

[surreal orbit]

In the clan room at the base of operations

[lone flax]

Where’s that?

[surreal orbit]

Walk in the front door, turn right after the stash, follow the hall till you see the clan lady, turn left into clan room,

[lone flax]

Ok thanks

[sturdy cape]

you need to be in a clan to access this of course

[lone flax]

Yea im in a dead clan

[burnt plank]

I love how annoy hunter in countdown soo much

[balmy cedar]

You struggling with them?

[burnt plank]

Yep but I love it

[balmy cedar]

Foam / blind them - unload vector, mpx, banshee into their bloody heads

With fast hands

[neat sedge]

RNG is kicking my butt, trying to get a Armor core FI build with HazP (don't ask), 8 rounds of countdown just looking for a holster, I have 3 sets of Red FI now, but no HazP holster

[burnt plank]

I dont know how to use foam when Im near him

Like: Do I have to keep distant to shoot foam at him?

[balmy cedar]

He disrupts you before you get near, that’s where u use your specialization grenade

The largest radius is the flashbang, smallest is the foam grenades

[burnt plank]

I dont know where to get flash bang even I need that instead explosive grenade

[balmy cedar]

So if you’re gonna foam him, make sure he’s in cover or has been shocked or disoriented first

Oh go to the grenades in your inventory and click on it? You can select ur type of grenade

But those grenades are limited to your specialization

[brazen mountain]

Sharpshooter

[burnt plank]

Damn...Im engineer / medic..

[brazen mountain]

No

I mean the sharpshooter specialization

Also for skill builds hunters are your weakness

So your useless against them

[burnt plank]

True, if he interrupt me, Im screw

[brazen mountain]

They hack your skills and EMP

So you basically can't fight em

[burnt plank]

Mostly EMP in close range

[brazen mountain]

Lol theres just no point using skills against hunters

It's ineffective

You best bet is just heal or try to make a dps build

I'm sorry but there's no way to stop them from hacking and disrupting your skills

[burnt plank]

Maybe I will look for SMG combine with AR build

[brazen mountain]

Yea you can do that

[burnt plank]

Its funny when this is my first timr I encounter 2 rogues agents in Heroic and jeez...they smart

[brazen mountain]

Black tusk, hunters, and rouges are the only REALLY smart AI

[burnt plank]

#1 hunter
#2 rogues

[brazen mountain]

Black tusk is last

[burnt plank]

Yep....100% aimbot in capital building map

Love this game, ngl

I feel like hunters also have chance to drop dark winter as well I think

[brazen mountain]

No

Jeez where do you get these things from

[burnt plank]

Well, from countdown when hunter dropped some named weapon so...I guess that could be a chance

[brazen mountain]

It's a exclusive

A DZ exclusive

[burnt plank]

Awwwww ._.

[brazen mountain]

Yea and it's drop chance isn't very high

[burnt plank]

Well, time to go DZ and hope a random player not become rogue and murder me 🙂

[burnt plank]

Hmmm...farm exotic gears in countdown wil be a good idea..?

[brazen mountain]

I believe DZ is best exotic farm unless general anderson is still available

[remote forge]

People say it is

[brazen mountain]

If general anderson is still on then his mission is best exotic farm

[remote forge]

Only issue is if you don't have that exotic in your loot pool you can get it

But that's a price I'm willing to pay for guaranteed exotics

[burnt plank]

2 weeks remaining so plenty of time

[valid steppe]

I really dk what is messing this game up. Last two weeks doing countdown and sometimes we get a match with Zero npcs... or f crash

[balmy cedar]

I sometimes get zero hunters in the beginning

[burnt plank]

Chameleon 😄

[brazen mountain]

It''s a decent starter exotic

[burnt plank]

It's good gun tbh but eat ammo a lot

[brazen mountain]

Hella common

[astral roost]

I logged in and there is a queue First time it happened to me

[brazen mountain]

Literally the only exotic that you'll get 5 times in a row and just throw it away

[valid steppe]

Yes, sometimes you wont find hunters and other times there's no hunters and npcs

[burnt plank]

Imma keep it cuz the look so awesome

=w=

[brazen mountain]

Yea but your not gonna use it unless you want a starter dps build

Which I heavily doubt

[fervent jacinth]

Chameleon is nice

It's v nice
S tier gun
(Jst gotta get the right build that's the thing)

[brazen mountain]

Far from s tier

Very cool gun though

[fervent jacinth]

HEY NO BULLYING MY BOY CHAMELEON

[brazen mountain]

Good for starter dps builds

[brazen mountain]

Sorry but it's the sad truth

[fervent jacinth]

It may not pack a punch in PvP but it can clear heroic bases😞

[brazen mountain]

I also wush it was s tier

[woeful plover]

game deleted, crash won.

[fervent jacinth]

Damn you gave up that easily??

[brazen mountain]

You can't keep lying to yourself

[fervent jacinth]

Lost another soldier 😔😔

[brazen mountain]

You gotta let go

[fervent jacinth]

I can't
Chameleon is love

[brazen mountain]

Second time this week!

[brazen mountain]

Let go

[fervent jacinth]

Don't push me
I'll decon it otherwise

It needs a buff tho tbh

[brazen mountain]

Reject chameleon return to better exotic

[brazen mountain]

Agreed

[fervent jacinth]

I'll make a PvP chameleon build
And I'll show em all

[brazen mountain]

I bet exactly 2 and a half cents you can't

[fervent jacinth]

Yea??
Watch me
Umbra chameleon build

Umbra works v well in a blue core build with kingbreaker
I'll bet it can work with chameleon

[woeful plover]

my first exotic but yes sad life. I have patience when I die but not when it crashes in countdown 14 times exactly when extraction starts or crashes 10 times in a mission when am at boss. tried every fix. I guess my rtx 3060 is potato for this game 🙂

[brazen mountain]

Homie you gotta come back to reality

[burnt plank]

Fight! fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!

[brazen mountain]

shush

[fervent jacinth]

Ykw let's fight this guy

[burnt plank]

🤐

[fervent jacinth]

Jk

[brazen mountain]

I can take both of you with my EB

[fervent jacinth]

Pls don't tell me you haven't tried umbra in PvP

[brazen mountain]

Try me nerds (I don't mean any bad thing I say lol)

[fervent jacinth]

Watch me shred y'all with my
Umbra kingbreaker famas fox's

(vigilance is important)

[brazen mountain]

Thought you said chameleon

You know it won't stand a chance

[fiery cloud]

Hey Datz

[brazen mountain]

HOI SAPH

[burnt plank]

spy sapper my warhound

[brazen mountain]

Speak english please

[burnt plank]

.>

[gilded perch]

pls don't tell me you think chameleon and umbra are good

[storm thistle]

smh my ''meet with agent kelso'' mission cant be triggered

is it because i've finish the manhunt without doing it?

[balmy cedar]

Is it a side mission icon

Cos that’s a glitch

[storm thistle]

yes

[balmy cedar]

Yea don’t worry about it

U already met with her

[fervent jacinth]

I tried it like 10 mins back and got manhunt
What you on abt

[fervent jacinth]

Oh it will

[gilded perch]

Are you killing pro? Or you killing noob

[brazen mountain]

No the hell it won't

[brazen mountain]

Don't be like that

They like what they like it ain't wrong

Unless it's something else nobody should like

[gilded perch]

I am not gonna judge him, people use what they want, i won't say them wrong
Just to be clear, those things are not strong, any one can go manhunt by kill people who weaker
Killing noob doesn't mean it strong, just mean those people killed by trash build

[brazen mountain]

As long as your not judging anyone it's completely fine

[feral sail]

any1 know if its confirmed that catharsis drops from countdown? been tryna farm it and getting nothing but vile

[brazen mountain]

I just got the wrong Idea

[brazen mountain]

Yes

You should know that exotics in the loot pool drop anywhere

I don't know how you don't know this but there are a few rocks for sale so I guess I shouldn't be surprised

Though the vile is good

And catharsis is hella rare

So keep on keeping on

[feral sail]

wow nice to say when i havent even played this game that long

[brazen mountain]

It was not meant to be mean

Sorry

My apologies

[storm thistle]

exotic outfit....

whats the difference bout it lmao

[balmy cedar]

Wait what that’s a thing 😂

I saw it was a pre order for div 1

Reduces exotic effectiveness in dz

[storm thistle]

theres a exotic outfit at shop, can be bought with textiles

[brazen mountain]

Stinger hunter outfit

[balmy cedar]

Ooh

[pliant sentinel]

can i buy the dark apparel with textiles yet

[storm thistle]

dark path u mean?

[pliant sentinel]

ye

[storm thistle]

nope

[pliant sentinel]

you a kr fan?

[storm thistle]

kr fan?

[pliant sentinel]

kamen rider

[storm thistle]

not rlly

[pliant sentinel]

i see

[balmy cedar]

I’m not seeing it

[storm thistle]

scroll down

its seperated to the others

or just go to shirt section, ull find the shirt there

its just pretty dissapointing, exo outfit but no cool effects lmao

[brazen mountain]

The hell do you expect?

[storm thistle]

u know, since its ''exotic''

[brazen mountain]

It's a outfit that was rare because of friend referral

Thats why it's exotic

Because it was a hella rare fit

[storm thistle]

ahhhhh i seeee

[brazen mountain]

Ye

[storm thistle]

well not rare anymore, its buyable now XD

[brazen mountain]

But it'd be cool if it had some type of effect

Not a effect to help in combat but a different kind

[storm thistle]

meh, lets hope ubi make thing like that

[brazen mountain]

Yea

[storm thistle]

like the shoes and mask from the previous event

[pliant osprey]

only for them to put it behind a paywall like they always do

[brazen mountain]

Hopefully if they make that they don't

[balmy cedar]

Makes you shine like a rainbow

[brazen mountain]

That'd be awesome

Taste the rainbow

[balmy cedar]

They could have done something with it to pair with your exotics if multiple people are wearing the outfit and the same exotic gear

[brazen mountain]

Imagine yelling that in DZ when you kill someone

[balmy cedar]

boost tardigrade effectiveness by double if players wearing tardigrade are wearing stinger outfit for 5 seconds

For pve obv

Or boost coyote mask buffs so that they last for 10 seconds each if all players wearing the coyote mask also wear the stinger outfit

players who have equipped doctor home and each wearing the stinger outfit can collectively pick up trophies that activate the talent

[fervent jacinth]

You both stop fighting

[brazen mountain]

Your late

[fervent jacinth]

I was studying

[brazen mountain]

Because we aren't

[fervent jacinth]

Now you aren't

[brazen mountain]

But we weren't fighting anyway

[fervent jacinth]

Huh
Anyways

[brazen mountain]

Nah

[burnt plank]

Now I'm stuck in New york..

I can't teleport out...

[azure lintel]

Lol

[burnt plank]

Nvm

I escaped the new york by join random bounty

[ruby isle]

What’s the best way to find the memento backpack

[brazen mountain]

Like any other exotic

Literally just play on higher difficulty's like heroic and do CP's or summit ETC

[azure lintel]

Anyone know why I can’t change the core of my heartbreaker gear?

[wheat zinc]

Did you change the attribute first?

[brazen mountain]

You can't change 2 things on one piece

You can only change 1

[azure lintel]

Oh… so I have to farm a whole new set

[brazen mountain]

Yep

[wheat zinc]

You need the piece to have the right attribute then change the core

[azure lintel]

10/10 game

Is heartbreaker good for dps?

[brazen mountain]

You can ask 100 questions at #ask-td2-community sir or mam

[plush otter]

nemesis, liberty, chatterbox, ridgeway, dodge city holster, capacitor, or any of the season 9 exo are not in the TL pool until you get their blueprints , so that any has a pretty large asterix

[brazen mountain]

Yea I probably should've said that the memento indeed is in the loot pool

[idle veldt]

anyone know how do i get cleaner keys fast

[plush otter]

key cabinets in NY sewers, and bounties,
you could farm some bounties on normal world from public executions from cleaner faction, and do those, each is one key, and if you are only after the key normal is fastest

[idle veldt]

ok also where do i find 2 hunters to end the project

[brazen mountain]

Summon them

Or do countdown

[plush otter]

countdown wont count for the ridgeway project hunters

[brazen mountain]

Ouch

They they'll have to summon them

Or help another player and kill a hunter

[plush otter]

you can either do the puzzle hunters from year1 or wony, or the hunter in the schaeffer manhunt mission will also count, but you need acces to that from being high enough season lvl, and each run is only one hunter, but its pretty quick aswell

[viscid cargo]

Summit hunters also count

[plush otter]

that manhunt mission can be toggled from coney island amusement park

[viscid cargo]

CD are the only ones that dont

[brazen mountain]

Takes too much time

[plush otter]

and summit aswell yeah

[viscid cargo]

Not if you find someone whos already there

[brazen mountain]

Still to much time though

[viscid cargo]

Clearing 100 on normal takes like 5 minutes

[brazen mountain]

You can just do a simple mission

[viscid cargo]

Twice

[brazen mountain]

That's faster than summit

Waaaaay faster

More efficient

[viscid cargo]

F100 take lliterally 5 minutes

Theres a checkpoint on 100 too

[brazen mountain]

Sorry but theres better options than that

Better than finding someone on flr 100

[azure lintel]

What’s the best build in PvP?

[brazen mountain]

There is no best and you can ask for builds at #td2-build-advice

[azure lintel]

I was just trying to strike conversation not ask for a build

[viscid cargo]

If you find someone on f100, it is the fastest. Im not taking waiting into consideration cause obv youd do something else for them at the same time

[brazen mountain]

Theres many good options though

[viscid cargo]

Bro what youre literally just asking for PVP meta

[brazen mountain]

ok but theres faster ways

[azure lintel]

Nah

Lots to argue about lol

[brazen mountain]

You are

[idle veldt]

im doing countdown yet it doesnt count

[viscid cargo]

Mans 15 steps ahead

[azure lintel]

I feel like a bleed kit is meta

[viscid cargo]

cd hunters are the only ones that dont count

[brazen mountain]

I mean in free roam

[viscid cargo]

Build advice

[brazen mountain]

Too much elden ring huh?

[azure lintel]

😂 I wish man I can barely understand that game

[brazen mountain]

Also meta garbage

[azure lintel]

I miss the Div 1 days 😦

[brazen mountain]

We all do

[azure lintel]

😂

Think when they come out with the Div 3 it’ll be better?

If they come out with one.

[plush otter]

not all miss div1

[idle veldt]

how in free roam already got all hunter masks

[brazen mountain]

Most

[viscid cargo]

Join someone who doesnt

Or schaeffer mission, or summit 100

[brazen mountain]

You can try to look for someone at summit F100 or just find someone who doesn't

[viscid cargo]

But schaeffer will prob be the easiest

[brazen mountain]

This

Agreed

[idle veldt]

where is this schaeffer mission

[brazen mountain]

Top of the map

Coney island I think?

If you have it unlocked from season track you can toggle it on

[idle veldt]

i have it unlocked from season pass im lvl 100 how to i toggle it

[brazen mountain]

You should see on bottom left

[viscid cargo]

Toggle mission mode, hold g

[brazen mountain]

It gives the option

[viscid cargo]

Amusement park is the mission

[brazen mountain]

Isn't coney Island amusement park?

[idle veldt]

looks like i havent done coney island yet at all

[viscid cargo]

Yes, thats what i meant

Theres no other amusement park

But coney island has 2 missions

[low flame]

There’s coney island ballpark and coney island amusement park

[plush otter]

you will have to do both of the mission once on story, to gain access to the manhunt toggle at amusement park

[idle veldt]

ok doing it now

[wooden tapir]

hello
anyone got an idea why i keep crashing

is there any thing i can do to fix the crashes

[valid smelt]

NO

caps*

[lament mirage]

Lower ur graphic settings, change from borderless to windowed etc, try dx12 if crashing alot on dx11

If not then just cope like the rest as not much else u can do on ur part

[wooden tapir]

im playing on fullscreen and i tried on dx11 and 12 same still crashes

[burnt plank]

dx12 always crash than dx11

[lament mirage]

Some people get less tho

Honestly depends on ur rig

[slow girder]

Quick Question, is the Pestilence (Exotic LMG) a Dark Zone exclusive Item or could it be obtained somehow else?

[brazen mountain]

No

But it has a increased drop chance in DZ

[lament mirage]

Optioned anywhere just drops alot in the dz

[slow girder]

Thx a lot!

So I could farm Countdown 24/7

With targeted loot LMG

[brazen mountain]

Yea but DZ is your best bet

But it's whatever

My luck is horrible and I got 3 in a row in DZ

[azure lintel]

How do reach lvl 1000

Like damm

[brazen mountain]

Play the game

[azure lintel]

You no life

[brazen mountain]

Yea that's SHD 10000

Not 1000

[azure lintel]

What's shd

[brazen mountain]

Bruh

It's what your talking about

[burnt plank]

I saw someone with 30k shd and I was like: ?? :D???

[azure lintel]

I don't know man

[brazen mountain]

SHD is levels after you beat the DLC

[azure lintel]

I'm gonna play for 100 years

Just for 10000 shd

[brazen mountain]

Well SHD doesn't matter

[burnt plank]

I still scare when I go to dark zone

[brazen mountain]

It depends on your build and skill

[burnt plank]

Just like in D1 when player use nomad build so they can't die

Time to spam countdown

[winter leaf]

Hi

[brazen mountain]

Sup

[winter leaf]

I'm looking for a group to join. I've just bought the game and I don't know anything about the second Division

[brazen mountain]

You can find players at #lfg-pc

Good luck rookie!

[burnt plank]

Striker gear, here I come

[smoky stag]

you should see my friend/clan list lol

[old crane]

where should I farm for scorpio?

[brazen mountain]

Well since it's in the loot pool

Anywhere

[low flame]

As long as it has shotgun targeted loot

[brazen mountain]

But CP's, summit, And CD should be enough

[low flame]

So countdown or summit

[brazen mountain]

Make sure to play on high difficultys like heroic

[old crane]

but neither do, so I should wait for them to have it?

[low flame]

You have to manually select it

[brazen mountain]

No you can change it

[low flame]

For countdown/summit

[old crane]

holy fuck, I had no idea

[brazen mountain]

So your new?

[old crane]

I'm from steam sale

https://gyazo.com/f878cc7faf398aa1f1ce9ecede8a5fe4

[low flame]

You hover over cd/summit on the map and at the bottom of the screen there will be a button that says “select targeted loot” you press that and a menu will open where you can select the targeted loot

[brazen mountain]

Scorpio shines against hunters

So it's good if you want to hunt the hunters

And for anything else that it'll work for

[old crane]

I'm working on getting all bps right now so using pestilence a lot for outposts

[brazen mountain]

Pestilence is really good for status effect builds

[old crane]

should I swap for bulletking

[brazen mountain]

I'm guessing you like LMG's?

[old crane]

Yeah, was always using Ars in dv1 but the ammo is so annoying

[brazen mountain]

If so the bulletking is a infinite LMG if you can hit your shots

Not a exotic everyone would use but it's better than pestilence for general use

[ruby isle]

When you wanna get the exotic backpack do you put ur targeting look as backpacks

[old crane]

Yes

[burnt plank]

Ngl...countdown players kinda toxic...

Down first time by first hunter then left team

[jolly kettle]

Anyone know how much armor i stack playing with my heartbraker set while shooting at enemies. Its a way to figure it out. I mean blue bar, from White

Bonus i mean

[brazen mountain]

What?

English

[burnt plank]

A player with SHD 10k got killed by a hunter, he left the game immediately

And that was challenge

[brazen mountain]

That's not being toxic

That's being either a baby or just ashamed

I dunno how you classify that as toxic

[lament mirage]

Well if the group struggles dps wise against the first few hunters it’s gonna be a shit run

[surreal orbit]

Is it possible he saw that nobody was doing any damage and decided it was a waste of time? @burnt plank

[lament mirage]

That as well

[brazen mountain]

Possible

[burnt plank]

And the one just standing there

[keen lily]

what is better, hard wired skill build or hybrid skill build?

[gilded perch]

pve? why hybrid

[keen lily]

i mean like a Brand Set

[gilded perch]

it need to depend what you use, skill build have a lot of type

for example drone use brand set, mortar use brand set
fire use EP
if you asking for hard wired, i know some people use it at DH boss 4, but usually hard wired not good

[keen lily]

i like the cooldown reset

[formal mortar]

So was I the last idiot to realise holstered weapons gain proficiency even when not used? Had secondary and firearm at 10 proficiency when I should have holstered different ones without proficiency...

[thorny talon]

there are no mistakes only happy accidents

[verbal mica]

hoping the season pass end up being free due to the delay and many issue’s lately 😈

that would ease my mind a bit while grinding for expertise

[burnt plank]

Make that happen please

[surreal orbit]

Good luck with that…

[verbal mica]

we can dream 🥲

i read an article somewhere it said players would be compensated but im not sure how reliable that is. a nice apparel cache for some textiles !

[surreal orbit]

Still waiting for my free Dr Home they promised last month… Don’t hold your breath…

[verbal mica]

😓

[fiery cloud]

Hey Datz, RIRI, Buddha

[surreal orbit]

Hey Saph

[idle veldt]

i completed both coney island missions yet manhunt mission is not available how do i toggle it i got it from season pass

[molten spire]

The Coney Island Amusement Park should have a "toggle mission mode" option when selected from the map

[idle veldt]

but it doesnt thats why im asking here

[surreal orbit]

Your doing the amusement park right? Not the ball park. And you need to be in the difficulty selection screen.

[idle veldt]

i completed both on story and yes i went to amusement park but all i can do is change diffilculty or matchmake

[surreal orbit]

Not sure? Maybe you need to do it on normal+ first before it will show…

[idle veldt]

oh got it now i had to press G to change mission mode

[surreal orbit]

Operator error

[idle veldt]

ye but now noone is doing that mission so looks like i will have to do solo

[surreal orbit]

EzPz. Just watch out for the hunter…

[round grail]

Yeah the hunter will kick your shit in

[idle veldt]

with my luck gonna die on the end to restart whole mission

if i die does hunter spawn or its like in division 1

[surreal orbit]

If you die to the hunter you will need to restart I believe

[idle veldt]

no before hunter if you die

[surreal orbit]

Only on heroic

[idle veldt]

so i need to restart again

died already 2x haha

im weak

[surreal orbit]

If you die before the last boss on heroic, it will send you back to the start. If you die on any other difficulty it will put you at the last checkpoint. Just like every other mission

[idle veldt]

im doing it on heroic

was dying to much so just went to striker even tho its not completly finished build

[quick tendon]

How quiet will the game be, in the afternoon? Or will a lot of the US folks take a break to watch the game?

[fervent berry]

Oh today is the Super Bowl match, isn't it?

EU servers still gonna be busy

[lament mirage]

Meh

[fervent berry]

Yeah, me too. Just gonna stick to random matchmaking and play CD all day 😂

[lament mirage]

Same eating some kfc

[cloud sage]

You can just hang by your TV all evening, watching a ball being tossed around, or you can sit at your computer and do something that matters!

[balmy cedar]

What’s funny is there’s been little to no talk about the Super Bowl in these parts

[untold steppe]

you mean in the US? I figured there were bigger things than the super bowl being talked about.

Ironically, one of them is Ohio

[low flame]

More specifically, they’re talking about canton, ohio since you know that’s where the hof is located

[gloomy ledge]

The game is just part of it. Beer and women are the best part.

[untold steppe]

East Palestine to be precise

[quick tendon]

What's going on with OH? (sorry haven't watched media the past week or so)

[vocal hound]

massive train derailment that lead to the spilling of vinyl chloride. The company then control burned the chemical.

[cloud sage]

What is it that some players use that prevents your Scorpio status effects from affecting the hunters in Countdown? Some skill?

[full oracle]

anyone got some division playlists
like yk
playlists they listen to when playing div
dm them to me

[winter radish]

most likely the status debuff. makes foam and such useless as well against them until the respective console is disabled

[frozen meadow]

Honestly any USAO, camellia, or kobaryo song

[cloud sage]

Hmm, well it feels like most of the time you can count on Scorpio to cc the hunter after you land 3 shots on it. The hunter will kneel down and you can switch to a smg and burst it down to dead. Works like a charm and I can do them solo on Challenging within one mag of the smg.

But sometimes they seem immune to it. I haven't quite figured it out yet but seems to me it's some skill some players have active in the vicinity of hunters that prematurely activates that status debuff thing.

[quick tendon]

Oooooh. Chloride isn't good, if in the air and/or waters 😮 Potential Hazmat on a big scale. (looks for HazMat prot mods)

[winter radish]

The countermeasures are random, so you might go multiple runs without the Hazpro countermeasure active.

[small spear]

players don't do that, there isn't a skill that makes enemies immune. it's as clayman said

[vocal hound]

yea, it's a bad situation 😦

[winter radish]

Just pay attention to the countermeasure symbols. The one that gives enemies 100% hazpro looks like a biohazard symbol

[cloud sage]

Alright, it's weird though. If you run to a "fresh" and previously unengaged hunter and the Scorpio effect just doesn't work, like they do usually.

[small spear]

because the buff is already active, you need to disable it first

[cloud sage]

Alright, thanks guys.

[small spear]

keep in mind that this is different from another symbol that also has the biohazard symbol, that one is a debuff that reduces your own hazpro, you can hover over that in the map to see which effect it is

[eternal lion]

anyone kind enough to pull me to US server? I just wanna try out some Dark Zone

[balmy cedar]

To what do you refer 👀

[balmy cedar]

That’s interesting, I haven’t seen anything about it on my feed etc…

[vocal hound]

Yea, that's the crazy thing imo. It should have made national news but seemingly it's been barely a blip.

[balmy cedar]

The news that really catches my eye is either political, nothing ever about like crises or anything unless it’s global

Or if it’s trending

[quick tendon]

Sorry not at home yet. 😦 Still at work.

[paper glen]

Any fixes for the crashing yet? Not seeing anything as such in any announcements. Since the season ended I’ve quite literally been softlocked my game hard crashes after no more then 5 minutes and I have to restart my pc, sucks I’ve not even been able to catch up to my console progress yet

[bold steeple]

they extened the season so you should be fine to play

[paper glen]

See I thought the same when I saw they brought the extension out but the crashing hasn’t gone away, I know there’s fairly common crashing with pc but I had maybe 2 before the season issues, might have to just reinstall and see what that does for me

[dark eagle]

I found a hot fix on Reddit that helps but countdown is just a game issue while crashing

[paper glen]

ah ok ill have a gander see what i can find

[lone flax]

Is the crashing mostly on pc I only ask because I haven’t crashed once in my 45 hours

[paper glen]

think so yeah, heard of it being a common issue when i bought anyway but luckily before this last update i was fine but i havent been able to progress at all which sucks

[lone flax]

Yea that really sucks hopefully they fix most of the crashes soon

Does anyone know why I got 200 premium credits when I finished the game?

[quick tendon]

Part of the Ultimate bundle?

[lone flax]

I didn’t even buy the game since it’s on ps plus

The only thing I am going to buy is the dlc once I complete the main missions

[celest egret]

Nice

[open comet]

I just confirmed with a friend he is also getting the same DWM spikes but since he has way more performance overhead then he doesnt get the drops and instead sees his GPU percentage go up, for those of us without performance overhead this is an issue.

On the bright side i feel like my maximum FPS is quite a bit higher, i was even reaching +300 FPS when i never ever reached such numbers

deleting my comments?

[vocal hound]

Maybe take the thread to the official support forums, since general chat really isn't the place for a bug report. Also being less incendiary with the 'can you fix anything without breaking something else' felt completely unnecessary.

[timber hatch]

What are DWM spikes?

[clever shoal]

how i completequest take 3 hostile convoy ?

[open comet]

desktop window manager, my fps is legit like 10% higher, arguably more but now with the frame drops, i posted in here because i want to see if others are also experiencing it

[vocal hound]

find a convoy on the map and finish the encounter then do that two more times. The encounter looks like a chest moving across the map.

[clever shoal]

tnx

[tranquil finch]

summit still fastest way to get to 1000?

[low flame]

Resource convoys on heroic with 5 directives are the fastest

[vocal hound]

caveat - the convoys on the highest difficulty that you can complete fast with little chance of failure. Speed trumps all in that case. Yes, if you can do heroic 5 directives great, you'll go fast, but if you can't or it takes a long time then it's not worth it to force that if you can do it faster on challenging.

[hot perch]

Is there a faster way to level up I haven't played the game in a while so I only know about leveling through out the story

[molten spire]

If you're still in the 1-30 campaign or 31-40, doing... stuff is the fastest way

Once you're in the Level 40 endgame, farm resource convoys with as many directives on the highest difficulty you can clear quickly

[vocal hound]

Also for 1-30 make sure you got the xp accolades under perks from the whitehouse quartermaster

[hot perch]

Ok thx

[neat leaf]

Necesito ayuda para jugaaar, alguien habla español?

[mellow kestrel]

Going to do the liberty island mission(take down keener) anything I shld know before going in?

[rich shadow]

Anyone getting some microstuttering ingame recently?

[neat sedge]

ready to drill my eyes out, 20 rounds of countdown, no Haz pro FI holster

I have enough FI sets to make 6 Red FI builds but not enough RNG to get 1 set of Haz pro tank FI

[cloud sage]

I really think it's a bad idea with the flare thing at the end of Countdown. Shouldn't be up to players to decide when to do it since too many do it way too early.

[sudden root]

No there's a faster way

[frozen meadow]

whats your suggestion then

[balmy cedar]

Full red chameleon with chest buff slaps lol

[naive sand]

how long will it take to get to 10k shd level?

[cloud sage]

To simply have the extraction chopper arrive automatically at a set time after the 4 min timer starts.

[frozen meadow]

thats a bad idea

[cloud sage]

You think so, I don't.

[frozen meadow]

early extraction can be a good thing lol

if you have a group where people start dying early then it allows you to still extract

[cloud sage]

You miss out on a couple of enemy deployments and loot.

[frozen meadow]

better that than not die

[naive sand]

i mean i did early extraction cuz people keep dying

[cloud sage]

A what and a what now?

[balmy cedar]

If you see people going down fast or people not reviving I’d extract

[naive sand]

if u have good groups then extract at 10

[cloud sage]

Yeah, flaring with 5-10 secs left is what you should do.

[balmy cedar]

Sometimes you got good crews in the encounters but for the hunters they fail when their skills are down

[frozen meadow]

stefan did you completely ignore the point lol

[naive sand]

yea only if u have good groups

[cloud sage]

I often ignore your "points".

[naive sand]

if people keep dying i ain't risking that

[frozen meadow]

bruh

you literally just admitted to not being worth talking to ._.

[naive sand]

@balmy cedar also the challenge thing from summit isn't giving me BP

[cloud sage]

It's okay, we see things differently, sometimes very differently.

[balmy cedar]

If you still need info, when you fight the drone / maurader there will be ammo boxes with shock rounds, you’ll need them to murder keener.

Once you get past black tusk aka the maurader equip a jammer pulse, you should have it if you collected all the skill variants in base game.

Use the hammer pulse throughout and whatever other skill would help you survive, ie shield or reviver hive.

Try to get each weakpoint as fast as possible and also keep a semi auto rifle for the purpose of those shock rounds as well as your pistol

[cloud sage]

The frustration when you clear the extraction area quick with a generally good team and have 1+ min left of enemy deployments and additional loot and some newb flares immediately is just... 😩

[balmy cedar]

Yea I might have been wrong on that I’m not sure, I just remember finishing my bps with it

[naive sand]

im not getting any from it

[balmy cedar]

Um… depends do you get tired / have stuff to do during the day?

[naive sand]

i know CP lv 3/4 and invasion mission gave me BP

[balmy cedar]

Also what’s your attention span like

[naive sand]

i just wanna craft my optimization materials

🥹

instead of farming for it

[balmy cedar]

crafting it is a waste

The watch points are what you need for shd cali and field recon

There’s also summit floor farming for that

But stuff like tac assessment I think you should be able to craft with shd points I just find that the optimization uses too fucking much of it

[naive sand]

yea its the tac assessment BP im looking for

the optimization uses massive of those

and i can't farm them all the time

[balmy cedar]

Casually played summit for like a year and somehow got like 300 each of the tac assessment only for it to be gone in a few optimizations on different pieces?

[azure lintel]

Oof

[naive sand]

thats why i want to craft them

[azure lintel]

I need friends 😦

[naive sand]

just want to max out my exotic and some gear

[balmy cedar]

What’s funny is with the rolls I have on my gear I max out at 59% Chc with coyotes mid buff 😂

I wanna know where I get the extra 1% from lol

[naive sand]

optimization

[balmy cedar]

No I’m saying that’s with maxed out rolls lol

It will only hit 60% if I roll another Chc

59 to 60 🤤

[naive sand]

u don't need that 1%

[balmy cedar]

On guns where the Chc is very much necessary I feel like I do, ie 1886 but that was with a 5% difference

[naive sand]

when i hit like 55% chc i put then rest on crit damage instead

and i saw someone that have 19k shd lv

[potent condor]

Aces and eights is pretty good

[rich shadow]

I run 54% chc with coyotes mask, so I'm over the cap with the mid buff, but more importantly, I'm still critting more than non crits at short range too.

[formal horizon]

Why won't my last manhunt mission pop up 😭😭

[mellow kestrel]

Tks

[wet narwhal]

yo guys

where can i get hunters fury gear i dont see it on the map?

[nimble roost]

Farm on the summit. Set your target loot to hunters fury.

[wet narwhal]

thanks

but can i get it on the map still in dc?

i press trageted loot but i dont see it on the map

[nimble roost]

Random targeted loot changed frequently on the DC map. If you For Sure want to get HF gear. Go to the summit and farm.

[wet narwhal]

ah ok

if i set to heroic will the gear be better?

[surreal orbit]

Targeted loot changes daily.

[surreal orbit]

There is the possibility of better “rolls” at higher difficulties.

[balmy cedar]

That’s nice, I was saying that with the mid buff I hit 59% lol… where do I get the 1% 💀 I’ve got 2 weapon handling rolls and everything else are chd, but my build is made to work with any gun regardless of weapon mods

I like switching up so versatility to me is important

[lone flax]

How often does the dlc go on sale?

[low flame]

It’s common

[lone flax]

Alright ty

[balmy cedar]

Can keener hack your drone / turret? They should use him to teach people how to fight hunters…

There’s was way too many people using those in the last countdown caused the team to wipe…

[digital trench]

Anyone up to play Anderson mission

[potent condor]

i'm at 26%

where do i get good crit mods

my crit damage is 81%

[neat sedge]

any good place to send non-gamebreaking bugs for devs to see?

currently Umbra Initiative wires aren't account wide, even with the pocket sharing

[plush bluff]

PSA: It's important to note that, unlike hunters, he can hack any skill that has an offensive variant. Example: he can turn a restorer hive into a stinger hive, or a heal chem into an oxidizer. So only go in with skills that don't have an offensive variant (decoy, shield, pulse). Jammer pulse and shields work nicely on Keener.

Hunters will hack offensive skills in use, but not defensive. Example - they will not turn your heal hive into a stinger hive, or heal chem into oxidizer.

[neat sedge]

my method of melting Keener is Spotter Kingbreaker build, have a hive under my feet as he does his EMP to not get shocked and melt him before he even hits the ground

Faraday field OP

[balmy cedar]

That’s good to know, wish it could be a way of warning people before countdown, or at least giving them a hunter related mission to unlock it

I didn’t know he could do that I was wondering why yesterday all these skills were targetting me, turns out from this explanation it was my teammates skills

Could he turn a shock trap into a shrapnel trap?

And is that the same with riot foam chem launcher for keener, I’ve used that before … worked but he quickly broke out of it

That was running full eclipse

[plush bluff]

I would consider a shrapnel trap offensive, so I'd err on the side of caution and say yes?

[balmy cedar]

Interesting I’ve used that against him to disable him from the intitial jump, worked for like 1 shock

Emp sticky as well… didn’t work on him

[surreal orbit]

Hmmmm, I’ve always used a jammer, striker drone and shock ammo on a hard wired build. Usually have him down in 30 seconds or so. Jammer just after his wears off, target striker drone, hit him with shock ammo and rip him down. Keep shock ammo in side arm in case I need to shock him again.

[balmy cedar]

Is this solo?

That’s pretty impressive that timing

[surreal orbit]

Yes

[balmy cedar]

The razor back part I struggle with solo

[balmy cedar]

I personally find them like once every few countdowns but heroic content with gear mod TL or countdown challenging with TL

[potent condor]

might as well use scorpio

[balmy cedar]

It’s not as effective as one might think

[potent condor]

that's what i used on keener

he died

[balmy cedar]

You’d need multiple scorpios cause he deploys a defender drone that you need to take out and if you’re solo it can be a challenge

[smoky stag]

i always used oxi.hes dead as soon as he lands

[dense raft]

Is it me or armor kits sometimes not work

[lament mirage]

Kinda hate how no one runs summit much or open world 😔

Well at least today it’s been hella slow

[smoky stag]

because people are misinformed

[lament mirage]

Cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd cd

Composite disc

[acoustic kindle]

yea

totally bad day to do DZ lmao

got yeeted by a wallhacker

[gilded perch]

In dz some cover/wall or car are able to shoot through

[acoustic kindle]

no

i was like on DZ West Southern extraction, he shot me from below the bridge

from the fucken Checkpoint

with AUG Para Exotic

[gilded perch]

Are you confirm he is shoot but not oxid, if yes then it properly hack

[acoustic kindle]

He killed me three time

which should be impossible to kill

because one time i was in middle of alley he shot me through the building

totally not hacking

Me saving 10 named cache to hope that I can get dark winter

[brazen mountain]

I wish you luck

My friend stole it all...

And this game tossed me a markman and sniper rifle all the time...

[brazen mountain]

Unfortunate

I'm tellin ya

Just give in

[burnt plank]

he opened the crate and got dark winter in first crate
Me: opened more than 15 crates and only good about The Apartment and Lefty

The Apartment is decent?

[brazen mountain]

I don't use it so I dunno

But you can assume it's not because no one talks about it

[unborn ravine]

Apartment do be hitting.

[brazen mountain]

Anyway, I have a question: Exotic item is...random drop?
Like: I got a exotic item from bounty even thats not erm...daily or weekly..just normal bounty

[brazen mountain]

Yes

Some exotic you can only get from certain things

Most are random drops

[burnt plank]

Ooohhhhhhh

[unborn ravine]

Bounties drop a lot of exotics in my experience.

[burnt plank]

Note in my division notebook

[brazen mountain]

Some drop after you acquire the blueprint

To get some blueprints you have to do certain challenges or mission

[burnt plank]

Ooooooo

[unborn ravine]

Or find random pieces from boxes in open world.

[brazen mountain]

Loot pool exotics drop randomly

[brazen mountain]

This too for certain exotics that require parts to make

[burnt plank]

Good way to learn something from experiment players

[brazen mountain]

I was definitely in a experiment

That's how I got my KNOWLEGE

[burnt plank]

You got whole Division DC Library in your brain

[brazen mountain]

NY too

Mostly DC though

[burnt plank]

I thought I stuck in NY forever because I cant teleport back to DC, it crash my game

Sooo...I join a random bounty and it take me back to DC 😄

[brazen mountain]

That bug is really annoying but at least it can be fixed easily

[burnt plank]

Truee

Well, time to take a nap so I can get back to work in workplace, then after that....Division time!!

Have a good day!

[brazen mountain]

You too

[balmy cedar]

Bruv if only they counted previous xp for skills and weapons for expertise before it was released 🥲

I wouldn’t have to reuse the blinder firefly for 900 hours again 🫠

[unborn ravine]

Plot twist. Donate items to level it up.

[balmy cedar]

I’ve been doing that lol, I’m just saying I used the blinder firefly as one of my top 3 skills for like a month or 2

[celest egret]

Does anyone even do black tusk invaded missions?

[round grail]

yes

[celest egret]

On pc?

[brazen mountain]

Everyone does

I assume your new

[rich shadow]

I know what you're saying, I'm suggesting you swap one wh roll to chc. You'll get more damage on average and you'll not be able to tell you're missing the wh roll.

[devout island]

plenty this days with more player and old ones comeback to the game

[pine spear]

i just found a cheater on countdown 😭

[vague palm]

how so

[burnt plank]

I got division 2 for free xD

Dont remember when but...long time ago I think

Im happy about there is no gun better, only matter is how you use it well

[devout island]

damn you lucky D: but even buy it, still worth it these days

[brazen mountain]

Indeed

[burnt plank]

I forgot this game whole time till my friend buy it and invite me to play

So yea, im addicted this game again

[brazen mountain]

[brazen mountain]

Your friend bought it for you ???

I do nut understand

[verbal mica]

😭

[thorny talon]

we do nut care

[severe needle]

Has the new update come yet? With the Exotic backpack?

[brazen mountain]

Next season

And if the update came out you'd be updating your game

[severe needle]

well I havent played the game for like a year. Just wondering when to get back to it

[jolly kettle]

Morning folks

[brazen mountain]

Wrong chat

[vague pecan]

still lots to catch up on before the new season

[burnt plank]

I mean I got division 2 for free, Idk when

[jolly kettle]

Ok

[burnt plank]

More crash in future 😄

Just 1 and half an hour so I can go home and enjoy division 2!!!

[mossy leaf]

same with thr first game

so discussion:

if the division 3 were to be a thing what major city would you like to see next?

[dull bluff]

Do you still get xp if u dead.

[burnt plank]

From mobs, yes from mission, no unless you complete the mission

[dull bluff]

Okay one more: say Anderson manhunt mission farming xp from mob kills. Directive is more xp. But does higher difficulty affect the mob xp? Or just completion xp

[burnt plank]

Me change dialog voice to japanese
Division 2 Anime
Change dialog to russian
Escape from DC

[burnt plank]

More higher, more better

[dull bluff]

Does difficulty affect at all? Or only directive affect the mob kill xp

[burnt plank]

But you can add some bonus difficult like no regen armor or blind map something like that

Each give you boost 25% exp

[brazen mountain]

Both

[dull bluff]

K running all directive on normal rn

[brazen mountain]

Higher difficulty the better

More xp and better Items

I'd suggest challenging

[brazen mountain]

Also your learning da KNOWLEGE

Good and Job

[burnt plank]

Heroic*

I can promise you heroic is easy mode

[brazen mountain]

No

Since they play on normal

It's safe to assume they are weak or new

And heroic isn't easy until you get a better build

[brazen mountain]

Heroic is above everything and below legendary

[dull bluff]

I thought difficulty is just loot

And only directives affect bonus xp.

[brazen mountain]

It's both

Loot and xp

[dull bluff]

Anyway doing Anderson shd farm 1 shd every 1 minute or 2. Normal with all directives.

[brazen mountain]

Like in most games

[dull bluff]

Is higher difficulty gonna be more insane lol

[smoky stag]

kill exp does not scale with difficulty

[dull bluff]

Ok then sticking with normal then. Ty doom.

[smoky stag]

and you can only get close to 1 lvl per minute if you're in a 4 man group

[dull bluff]

3 manning it im only guy without ps5 so laggy so I just stand there lol.

2 to 3 min or something like that. Anyway its insane. Hope they don't patch it soonm

[earnest vale]

How much xp u getting per run?

[dull bluff]

1 lvl per 2 to 3 min.

I think I got like 15 in 20 just this one I'm doing rn.

Basically it's great. And I thought spamming cp reset sleeping giant and getting 10 lvl per day was great.

[nimble scroll]

Are you doing control points or mission

[dull bluff]

If anyone needs shd do it before they pwtch.

Anderson mission. Basically killing mobs in spawn with oxi

Oh ok

[dull bluff]

Instantly dead and instantly respawn.

[nimble scroll]

Does Anderson mission still drops one exotic on normal mode?

I haven't played after patch

[dull bluff]

Yea itt does

Lvl farm doesn't finish it tho. Just sit and shoot oxi at first area all 25 min long.

Mission fail then repeat.

[earnest vale]

What is oxi?

[burnt plank]

Cooling one

[dull bluff]

Oxidizer skill

[pine spear]

what build are yall using for it?

i just threw a random one together but idk if it'll do enough for the higher difficulties

[burnt plank]

Its depend on each of us sooo try to find one for yourself you like:
Could be split out like: Attacker, Defender, Engineer, Medic

But if you want ask to build, you can go to #td2-build-advice

FINALLY CAN GO HOME!!!

[brazen mountain]

Skill build for skill like that

[vague palm]

what is this shd farm

[dull bluff]

Do Anderson mission stay in first area abuse spawn mechabic.

1 shd lvl per 2 or 3 min.

Just got like 50 lvl in past hour and a half.

There's a video up on youtube.

[vague palm]

the redline one?

i meant the youtube video

[nimble scroll]

Ok i will delete my previous message silently 🤫.

[burnt plank]

I saw what you did xD

[nimble scroll]

No no we will keep that between us🤣🤣

No need to tell anybody

[brazen mountain]

I uhh

[nimble scroll]

😅😅

[smoky stag]

ideal build for it is 3 pc empress with caesars and battery pack
1 wyvern, 1 foxs with skill damage, 1 murakami
an LMG with insync

DTA multipliers not needed coz no armor on normal enemies
more DTTOOC from LMG
caesars and battery pack for cooldown resets for near infinite oxis

group comp almost same builds can be survivalist, demo,
with a technian FI oxi running overclock and artificer

[brazen mountain]

Saw it too

[nimble scroll]

Oh bhoy The group is getting bigger and bigger🤣🤣

[smoky stag]

it is overkill on normal difficulty but the faster you kill the faster you spawn enemies

also this farm method is meh compared to others 😉

[vague palm]

convoy still better?

[smoky stag]

yeah sure. convoys.
convoys still has a better rate but definitely needs more "attention"
anderson effective for more slightly hands free, no overthinking approach but is objectively ok

[vague palm]

I see thank you vm

[fair lake]

And if I got it correctly, Anderson is better for exotic farm, cuz the amount of enemies is just absurdly big)

[earnest vale]

Is there a chance of people who do this anderson xp exploit getting their shd reset?

[elfin hazel]

no

[earnest vale]

Nice

[dull bluff]

All I've been doing each day for the past 2 weeks is control point reset control point reset

Each day if I get 10 lvl I'm happy.

If it helps new players grind to 1000 faster to enjoy the game at their most optimal stat then I think there's nothing wrong with doing it.

I got like 50 lvl today already since learning about it earlier in the day. Its a godsend lol.

Just another 500 to 1k lmao.

[fair lake]

I still remember good old floor10 farm with +-50 lvls per hour....

[rich shadow]

You doing convoys?

[dull bluff]

Anderson mob spawn killing.

[smoky stag]

good times
F

[fair lake]

[brazen mountain]

We'll remember when it was a thing

A thing that was a good thing

[dull bluff]

I'm gonna do Anderson all day lol. They definitely gonna patch it.

[fair lake]

Of course, because it's fun)
I'm surprised convoys are still a thing after all these nerfs here and there

[elfin hazel]

I mean they've "patched" it once or twice before

[smoky stag]

would be hard to patch it without messing up kill xp rates for the entire game.
maybe they can time gate jammer area to be limited to 5 mins

[elfin hazel]

I remember there being one patch note mentioning it got fixed but it wasnt

[fair lake]

just to clarify about this method:

• talent chest is the one which has 30% chance to reset cooldown (caesar's something)
• backpack talent - ???
  everything else - is a combo between empress, wyvern, murakami?
  Would like to try it later today

[smoky stag]

yes

caesars and battery pack (perfectly calculated, reduce cooldowns with kills in cover)

[heavy prism]

What others

[smoky stag]

convoys.
manning zoodowntown west

[fair lake]

👍

[verbal mica]

are control points the most optimal for shd lvls ? 👀

[heavy prism]

What's the bottom two

[smoky stag]

i cant explain i dont speak mandarin

[fair lake]

xD

[verbal mica]

Is it worth doing ? Feel like I have every exotic I want

[fair lake]

For expertise upgrade - definitely

[verbal mica]

I been doing story missions on heroic with directives and reset each complete is close to one million xp

[verbal mica]

Guess I should get to it :/

[dull bluff]

Well I got over 50 shd lvl in an hour and a half.

[verbal mica]

I wish I was around during floor 10 farm

[dull bluff]

Its better than me doing cp over and over and getting just 10 shd lvl PER day.

[verbal mica]

Your method definitely yields more then

[dull bluff]

So I'm definitely gonna do nothing but it.

Started at 395 did all the manhunt to unlock Anderson at 405.

[verbal mica]

You talking about Anderson correct?

[dull bluff]

Almost 460 rn. Yeah Anderson mission.

Just stay in first area and spam oxi at where the enemy spawns.

There's a vid of it on yoytube.

[verbal mica]

Gonna try this I’m at like 647 shd rn

[dull bluff]

THIS XP FARM WILL MAKE YOY SMILE is the title or so of the vid

[verbal mica]

We need like shd 5000 to even be worth making a new character 🤡

[dull bluff]

Yup

[verbal mica]

Video hour and 23 mins long :/

A movie

[vague palm]

watch from 36min

[fair lake]

The preparation part is super simple, tbh

[smoky stag]

never watched the video but already figured out how to do it since we already knew how to force the spawn into only one door

[vague palm]

just curious, would you add a flame turret as a 2nd skill to speed up the process

[fair lake]

It must be placed manually, the distance is too long to throw it + it doesn't hit the "inside" of the door, only when they come out

[vague palm]

i see

[verbal mica]

Once you get this set up it seems nice but doing so is the challenge . Can u solo?

[smoky stag]

not necessary. a stinger hive would be better for any strays

[smoky stag]

is doable solo. the problem is the kill xp rate in solo

the farm relies on kill xp
you get more kill xp if you get more spawns but you can only get more spawns if you can kill faster
4 man scaling with minx maxed oxis was how we reach about 22 levels in 23 mins last night

[verbal mica]

60 levels in an hour is insane then

[smoky stag]

60 is exaggerated

[fair lake]

Does difficulty + directives affect the kill xp? Completely forgot

[smoky stag]

its closer to 40-50 (and 50 is being generous)

kill xp does not scale off of difficultiies or directives
this is the same as the tombs farm. its just that anderson has more continuous spawns you can spawn camp

[fair lake]

So there is no reason to go above normal except denser spawns, right?

[smoky stag]

no. going above normal only lowers you kill xp count since enemies are tankier taking more time to kill

[dull bluff]

I'm running normal with all directives. So no point and I can ditch directives?

[smoky stag]

yes. dont make it harder on yourselves

[dull bluff]

It cuz I thought directive gave Xtra xp lol

[smoky stag]

we did this with normal no directives last night

[fair lake]

That was the thing I was curious the most. Thanks for you time explaining everything to dummies like me 🙂

[dull bluff]

Only problem with solo i think is the mobs won't spawn from the door

[smoky stag]

what annoys me with this farm is the frame drop tbh

[dull bluff]

Cuz u gotta manually press button and run back.

[smoky stag]

yes harder to force spawn them into door below stairs

[dull bluff]

Yeah I rely on ps5 teammates to shoot. I can't do crap lol

[fair lake]

Have you tried lowering everything on min, or it still lags?

[smoky stag]

with duo you can camp 2nd genny while other presses laptop\

[smoky stag]

mine is on low
the volume of oxis we were throwing was so high that spawns werent even getting out
and my fps dropped to 3fps, with a 10 sec time frame where i thought i crashed

[fair lake]

Sad, that bodies don't despawn inside. I think they just pile up and thus overloading your system

[smoky stag]

the dogs also slow you down
this would be a whole lot better if first area enemies were true sons
dogs dying animations delay spawns

[fair lake]

yeah, I remember this from floor 10, when dogs were lagging and not dying and we had to wait for about like 1 min for it to despawn

[smoky stag]

its why dog rounds are skipped

[fair lake]

yeap, good old times 🥹

[heavy prism]

@smoky stag bbut my 75 lvls /h

[smoky stag]

LOLed

[fair lake]

One more question. IF I use oxi, does the "DTTOC" attribute from the gun in my hands applies to oxi?

[smoky stag]

yes. same with DTA. hence why oxi builds require an ACS 12 or lmg with insync
also from demolitionist

[burnt plank]

I can't do alone ;-;

[fair lake]

not sure about in-sync for this method, cuz you won't be able to shoot xD

[burnt plank]

I tried at solo

The enemy will spawn nearby after you pressed the computer, you have to run back to the way we go in, kill them and then that door will spawn enemy

So this method require 2 people

[dull bluff]

If any psn guy wanna go at it I'm up. Til then gonna solo

[smoky stag]

Not all the time. Just spam it occasionally after 3 oxis every now and then
