[rancid island]

where is checkpoint in summit every 10 floors or?

[fair lake]

Every 3 floors + 10-th boss as well

[brazen mountain]

Have you tried #lfg-playstation? It's where you should go to find players

[vague pecan]

technically HH will still hit hardest if you can stack it on mobs first

but the idea of sniper PvP doesn't sit with me anymore. ARs can do so much damage at medium+ ranges already even if you weren't using PGC

by the time you're out aiming you're dead

[low lily]

Nahh i am going to one shot popshot, hh is useless then

[vague pecan]

what's your headshot damage number with pvp normalisation with it? it's been so long since using a sniper in PvP.. not even sure it would one shot especially with unbreakable

[low lily]

Will tell if i kill someone, just put a build together, also unbreakable doesn't proc majority of times when you like one shot, so usually like 2.3ml is enough to one shot them all

2.5ml is non crit headshot

[viscid cargo]

Mine its for 3.3 million

[low lily]

Pop shot build?

[viscid cargo]

Nah just high end with hsd attributes

Nemesis

[low lily]

That won't work for me

[viscid cargo]

Its fun in large scale fights, just sitting in the back instakilling

[viscid cargo]

Y not? You building for something specific?

[low lily]

Again, i am doing a pop shot build, that's really different

[sturdy cape]

is there any way to buff movement speed other than lady death?

[low lily]

Okey i was wrong it's about 2.76ml when 39m away

[viscid cargo]

No

[smoky stag]

would be interesting if they made a gearset for it

[sturdy cape]

yeah could do some cool stuff with it

[burnt plank]

No

[low lily]

Put your FOV more up, then it feels like you running faster

[sturdy cape]

🤨

[smoky stag]

what would be a good mechanic for such a gearset to activate the speed tho

kills? cover?getting damaged
?

[low lily]

Wasn't there planned for a gearset in div1 that had improved moving speed or something?

[sturdy cape]

i'd love to have a melee specialisation weapon, could just boost speed when it's equipped

[smoky stag]

maybe add a charge and swap mechanic ala dodge+bee to balance

[burnt plank]

I'm home from churchhhh

Actually my mom went to church, I'm just stay outside xD

[low lily]

Why you just don't stay at home?

[broken solstice]

ughh church

[fallow geyser]

Speedster's Situation

2 Pieces: +30% Reload Speed, +20% SMG Damage

3 Pieces: +15% CHD

4 Pieces: Speedy Succession
Killing an enemy adds 1 stack, up to 20, increasing movement speed by 1% (0.25 in PVP) and CHC + CHD by 1% (2% for CHD, if CHC is already at 60%), for up to 1 minute.

At 20 stacks, hitting an enemy with a melee disorientates all enemies within 20m of the hit (10m for PVP), for 10 seconds (5 seconds in PVP)

All bonuses are doubled, if agent is using 'Lady Death'

There we go

phew

[low lily]

Last gen consoles would die using that

[burnt plank]

My mom can't drive

So I helped her

[broken solstice]

im proud member of the roman catholic church. the pope is my boss. i dont go to church though. but i gave a shd level 8 what Im hoping was their first lady death yesterday so im pretty sure im going to heaven

[sturdy cape]

imo gaming should never intersect with stuff like religion and politics. just plz no

[broken solstice]

you're right. that was uncalled for

[sturdy cape]

all good, no big deal 🙂 just a slippery slope ya know

[frozen meadow]

hi

[broken solstice]

hello

[smoky stag]

if you're not fast you're last

[frozen meadow]

that sounds broken af ngl

[fallow geyser]

As if it matters

seen the state of the game?

[frozen meadow]

thats no justification

[fallow geyser]

call me dark winter cuz i'm the perfect killer 😎

[smoky stag]

chest talent:
I feel the need

backpack talent:
for speed

[fallow geyser]

Oh yeah how can i forget

[frozen meadow]

i wish we had that "grand finale" mission i mentioned a few days bacl

[smoky stag]

that finale has to be a raid

[frozen meadow]

nah mate more than that

just bullshit hard

like, a discovery mode version being as difficult as normal IH

[smoky stag]

make it as a difficult as you can but have it be an 8 man affair

[frozen meadow]

yeah

[fallow geyser]

I feel the need:
Increases stack limit to 40

For speed:
Increases bonus speed and CHD by 1.75x

[frozen meadow]

every enemy hunter, all skills permanently jammed/hacked

time limit

all cover can be destroyed

and bosses (named hunters) have specialization weapons and 10b+ health

[smoky stag]

scan pulse tower:
all players that get pulsed receive a damage debuff equivalent to spotter or flatline

[frozen meadow]

oh yeah forgot to mention constant countermeasures

[smoky stag]

forcing them to spec into pulse res

[fallow geyser]

and i thought my idea was bad

[frozen meadow]

the main goal is to kill McManus

[sturdy cape]

only way to access that mission is blind matchmaking

[frozen meadow]

this is a bad idea

[sturdy cape]

i thought that's what you were going for?

[frozen meadow]

no i want something actually fun lol

fun but bullshit hard

[smoky stag]

boss 1
anderson
boss 2
a battalion of hunters
boss 3
sokolova as a chungga
boss 4
mcmanus

[frozen meadow]

id swap 1 and 2

[sturdy cape]

fun is pretty subjective i guess, shrug

[frozen meadow]

i was thinking an open-world raid like countdown

so you can go in any order

[smoky stag]

well if its final-est boss
it should be memorably hard

[fallow geyser]

who tf is McManus

[frozen meadow]

are you okay with spoilers

well idk if its a spoiler at this point lol

[fallow geyser]

i clearly missed something

gwon

[frozen meadow]

it was mentioned a lot two manhunts ago(?)

[keen lily]

Is Pentagon/DARPA still lagging?

[frozen meadow]

McManus is the top chief of the hunters next to authority with Sokolova

[fallow geyser]

I see....

what is his first name

[frozen meadow]

Carl

or is it Karl idk

[fallow geyser]

OH YEAH BRO DYING FR 💀💀💀

[frozen meadow]

old secretary of defense(?)

[smoky stag]

have the hunters encounter be one where you need to kill a certain number of hunters so they drop watches or some shit that you need to plug into something so you can hack or progress or whatever

[fallow geyser]

I'mma rick grimes that bro

[frozen meadow]

now you see why a grand finale mission would fit perfectly in canon

[fallow geyser]

what if we have a fight with the first mf from the first wave to go rogue

[frozen meadow]

plot twist it was carl

[smoky stag]

mc manus will have 4 quadcopters
his adds are hunters

[frozen meadow]

see? its a good idea :D

[fallow geyser]

basically keener but not hellbent backwards on chemical warfare

[smoky stag]

he will of course also have a razorback and minitanks with spec ammo

[frozen meadow]

mcmanus might be a first wave

[frozen meadow]

yeah i was thinking incorporate literally every element into the game in one mission

so that would include destroying a razorback depot

[fallow geyser]

okay you guys are discussing some spicy stuff

however...

you have missed on one key factor

[smoky stag]

i mean would it be so farfetched in canon that the big chief has an entire BT arsenal at his disposal

[frozen meadow]

no

[fallow geyser]

The party limit

[frozen meadow]

8 people is fine

[fallow geyser]

🗿

[frozen meadow]

im sure 8 people could pull this stuff off

[fallow geyser]

-hunter ads
-razorback

[frozen meadow]

yeah?

[smoky stag]

it should be an 8 man activity. a raid
it satisfies both the community's need for new content, a new raid. a compelling finale, and a challenging activity

[fallow geyser]

yeah, they could

on story difficulty

[frozen meadow]

discovery is as difficult as IH normal

if you wanna kill the best of the best, youll need to have the best of the best

no skills

[smoky stag]

i believe it should be a balance

tho

at least have one encounter where guns are totally unusable

[frozen meadow]

idk how youd pull that off

[smoky stag]

so that its not just brrr dps all the time'

[frozen meadow]

iron horse rpg damage only?

[smoky stag]

DH 3 kings/boss 2 purple mist

[frozen meadow]

that too

[smoky stag]

but constant on all GUNS
but will not debuff skill proxies

like actually have an FTC build more than just one build for it

[frozen meadow]

yeah

[smoky stag]

than just full red meta dps

[frozen meadow]

a boss where youre constantly in poison so you need hazpro

and cant outheal

[smoky stag]

yeah
force players to spec into stuff thats not meta

just to successfully complete the raid

[frozen meadow]

its a great idea lol

[smoky stag]

otherwise it would just be IH part 2

[sturdy cape]

what % of players do you think this will appeal to?

[frozen meadow]

all the top ones

[smoky stag]

if its the final mission, im hoping it would appeal to all

[frozen meadow]

the elites of the game; the veterans mostly

and players who return wanting a challenge

you gotta make it difficult, but gives people enough determination to not give up at the start

[smoky stag]

plenty of players looking to conclude the game

[frozen meadow]

like platformers such as Celeste

you die thousands of times but never give up

you gotta make players determined enough to finish the mission but still make the mission difficult af

[burnt plank]

SPEED RUN STAGE 5 >:C

Now only the drill

Drill and 10 elite scorcher

[frozen meadow]

oh yeah stage 5 is get the hell out of the vicinity before it gets nuked

plot twist the extraction heli gets shot down too

[burnt plank]

I did normal so I can speed run this progress faster

[frozen meadow]

Gotta make people think on the fly

[smoky stag]

gtfoh while the remaining quads in mcmanus arsenal rains bombs on you with no cover, while outcast suicide bombers try to hug you from everywhere. force everyone to spec into explo resist lol

[burnt plank]

Me in Mafia with RPK

[frozen meadow]

Not outcast bombers but robot dog bombers

[burnt plank]

XB-31 is a helicopter isn't it?

Or a drill?

[frozen meadow]

There's multiple quads in the game

[smoky stag]

go all out and bring em all then
drones, dogs, minis

[frozen meadow]

Every last bit of the arsenal remaining

And a black tusk commander that takes control just to try and stop you

Chain of command type promotion

[smoky stag]

id play the shit out of that content on repeat tbh

[frozen meadow]

Same

[sturdy cape]

i'd rather see how many of my keyboard keys i could fit up my nose lol

[smoky stag]

lol

[frozen meadow]

probably 4 if they are choc switches

anyways

[smoky stag]

point is, we cant conclude the game on just the same manhunt final target formula that weve had the past years

[frozen meadow]

no i want a grand finale mega mission

[sturdy cape]

perhaps what could serve these needs better is a level editor

[frozen meadow]

what

[smoky stag]

if only you could mod this game no?

[lone valve]

You can mod reshades and other lighting stuff
But yea that's about it

[sturdy cape]

a story conclusion needs to be accessible to all

[frozen meadow]

nah just dont suck at the game

[sturdy cape]

that's a big ol yikes from me 🤦‍♂️

[lone valve]

It would be accessible to all
In discovery

[frozen meadow]

oh one more thing that needs to be added

hunter overcharge

if we can have an unfair advantage then so can they

[worthy peak]

season 10 and 11 brought on screen flickering

not sure why when im watching youtube with division 2 on it flickers my youtube, discord, anything else its realy annoying iv never seen any game do worse on crashing or anything else when im fireing a gun it crashes game with ringing sound in my ear and game completly sharts itself i see task manager a lot and have it on forced mode just to shut down the division and restart it this is bullshit from a payed game. and that is not an overstatement. i love this game but when ur crashing out of dark zone and content its annoying as a pc player id have more fun playing a free to play developed by 2 people or 3 then this game if it was released. please for the love of god get it together! i loved the division 1. the division 2 was amazing untill season 10 when i rejoined after not playing since game hit lvl 500. i loved this game so much i payed 120$ for day 1 play before launch to public i wont be doing that again unfortunatly. please fix the crash with fireing and il be happy everything else is whatever i dont mind closeing the game if im watching youtube. but when i crash out of content im finding fun its anoying!

and at times makes me wish i never bought this game in first place.

[sturdy cape]

i think someone needs a hug

[low lily]

Damn... long text

[cyan narwhal]

windows 10 or 11?

[worthy peak]

windows 11

[cyan narwhal]

is windows 11 stable yet?

[worthy peak]

yeah

[cyan narwhal]

ive had this screen shutter when i had win 11

[worthy peak]

only with division 2

[cyan narwhal]

switched back to 10

[cyan narwhal]

well there are many bugs in game but i dont mind them anymore as long as dc is playable its fine for me

[burnt plank]

Destroy heli 4 wings - check
Bleed named - check
Blind wyren twice - check

[cyan narwhal]

good luck unlocking technician

[burnt plank]

Already unlocked

[cyan narwhal]

noice

[burnt plank]

Only firewall left then I got everything

Ngl..tech pain in the ass than gunner and firewall...

[worthy peak]

i dont know why they hid that stuff behind paywall lol

[cyan narwhal]

i just need to max out survivalist

everything else unlocked

[cyan narwhal]

its better to play and unlock it yourself

its fun

[untold kiln]

Quick tip for the elite scorchers, freeroam difficulty at Heroic, then go around Outcast-held CP4s with a sniper build, headshot the scorcher and dip. Most CP4s will have one in the open from the start 😄

[cyan narwhal]

i love scorchers

[untold kiln]

And yeah, the specialization research sucks but at least you only have to do it once

[burnt plank]

She hot doe..ngl

[burnt plank]

I went to pentagon and I feel like I'm fast boy in there

[graceful wind]

You get elite cleaner scorchers on challenging open world in NYC

[burnt plank]

Everything delay 3-5 seconds

So I just shoot 30 bullets and then and find another target

Even the destroy heli 4 wings as well!! sooo slowwww

They can't shoot me, they have to look at me in 10 seconds before shoot...even I'm standing in front of them

[cyan narwhal]

they are mad looking sycopaths

[burnt plank]

Black tvsk: Holy sheet, this boy so fast

[burnt plank]

[cyan narwhal]

black tusk slow

white tusk fast

[burnt plank]

Idk what to say...sometimes delay kinda annoy but...it get the job done so fast

Just spray the hell out of them and watch them die

[cyan narwhal]

server side lag kinda benificial sometime

[cyan narwhal]

and u can kill them before they even shoot

[burnt plank]

A power of " I'm fast af, boieeeeee"

[cyan narwhal]

any idea when tu 17.2 will release?

i guess next apperal event

[burnt plank]

I ACCIDENT HEADSHOT A DEER!!!

WHY ARE YOU DO THIS TO ME!!!!

[graceful wind]

will likely be when next part of manhunt unlocks

[burnt plank]

Anddd all done!

Nowww I need to wait for invasion then my firewall will be unlock

[keen lily]

when are they fixing the HUGE lagg

[low lily]

When they know what's going 😸

"i'm not gonna come quietly." - Faye Lau

[urban shale]

So I’m in end game and completely lost

Don’t have a build or nothing

[sturdy cape]

when the main story is done you need to set your own goals

[burnt plank]

Wew, 1336m damage in heroic countdown

[river crypt]

Starting the game today, any advice?

[sturdy cape]

'call for backup' pings other players an invite to your session, useful if you get stuck with anything tough

[twin shuttle]

this guy actually got to SHD 8 as an HC... good on him https://prnt.sc/_FuhjcwzlkAa

[low lily]

I am 1k i think

When i level up to 40 😅

[burnt plank]

As hardcore?

[low lily]

Took 6 days to get from 200-1000

Faster to lvl up in hardcore

You get x2 xp on manhunts. Like whole week if you smart

So resources convoys give you 1.2ml or so

I know people who did 10k on hardcore

[low flame]

You only get double xp on the weeks that a manhunt target releases for the first 15 levels

[low lily]

Nope, you can get the whole time that target is on

[low flame]

Not true

Only first 15

Then it goes back to regular

[sturdy cape]

so 'if you smart' means 'if you exploit' ?

[low lily]

What level are you on hardcore? @low flame

[low flame]

Don’t know. Haven’t played hardcore in a year

Not sure if I even beat keener

[twin shuttle]

hardcore chars dont get "Special treatment"...

the XP gain is the same on both HC and softcore

diference is... Death is permanent on HC and u cant boost to 30 or NYC

everyone gets those first 15 lvls XP boost on a manhunt

[low lily]

Someone actually reported it to Ubisoft so many years later

[sturdy cape]

reported what?

[low lily]

https://www.ubisoft.com/forums/topic/189519/infinite-double-xp-bug-exploit?lang=en-US

Has been a thing from start of hardcore mode

[sturdy cape]

you think knowing an exploit makes you smart? lol

[low lily]

Who said it made me smart? I just said that you could get double xp on hardcore mode?

[sleek citrus]

When you havent played in 2-3 years and still top 600 in iron horse completions lol

[sturdy cape]

^

[low lily]

That's more a trick than exploit at this point 😸

[sturdy cape]

oh come on now... lol

[low lily]

Damn, how many runs you did

[sleek citrus]

not that many 15 i think. But we did them for the first few weeks only

[low lily]

I think yeah majority people just did it for exotics, so 1-8 runs or so. I just checked i am also 530 place or so and i only did it 2-4 months

[sleek citrus]

Ye, think i still need to do something for regulus

[low lily]

What the project says?

[sleek citrus]

ah right they can be tracked there, says i need to donate the parts

So i guess 1 run to get the parts, or do you only get 1 part per run

[low lily]

Regulus parts itself?

One from every boss

[sleek citrus]

says i need to donate the parts, and reward is the parts + blueprint

[low lily]

Ohh like gear sets

[frozen meadow]

Hi what are we talking about

[low lily]

Regulus project

[frozen meadow]

What about it

I've done it a few times

[twin shuttle]

sometimes im looking for some specific gear piece and the MF never drops... yesterday and today already droped 3 Scorpios for no reason lol

[frozen meadow]

Lol

[low lily]

He is checking what he needs to do for it

[frozen meadow]

First two projects are all FI/Foundry pieces

And some resources for them which you should get in the key boxes

And the second projects need some miscellaneous gear pieces

Then the third project requires a fresh run where you kill all bosses and then loot the chest at the end (Must be first run since previous reset or you won't get the parts.)

There's five projects total

And a minimum of 2 fresh runs need to be completed. One to start the project and get the materials to donate, another to collect the exotic components

@sleek citrus hope this helps

[twin shuttle]

yeah, was doing my daily Lincoln run and poof another Scorpio... checked map, its shoty targeted loot lol

[sleek citrus]

I got the rats gnaw our bones project @frozen meadow

[frozen meadow]

idk which one that is off the top of my head

[sleek citrus]

Its the project to donate weapon parts for regulus

[frozen meadow]

then you just need to complete a fresh IH run

if youve already done one this week, you need to wait until reset which is Tuesday

[sleek citrus]

last raid was in 2020 XD

[frozen meadow]

IH hasnt been out that long

._.

[sleek citrus]

fairly sure it was released in 2020

[frozen meadow]

DH was

iirc

[twin shuttle]

both raids have been out for ages at this point 😛

[frozen meadow]

either way

[sturdy cape]

July 7th 2020 for iron horse according to the wiki

[frozen meadow]

my mistake then

[twin shuttle]

i know time flys and we think 3 years is 3 weeks... but yeah 😄

[frozen meadow]

anyways did you just never do the projects

[twin shuttle]

not gona lie... since 2020 time has been kinda of a blurr

[sleek citrus]

I think my pc died

[twin shuttle]

only now its becoming "normal" again

[frozen meadow]

oof

[twin shuttle]

if u know wht i mean

[sleek citrus]

and when i got a new one a few months later my whole 15 player group and quit

[frozen meadow]

i do know what you mean lol

[sleek citrus]

so i never downloaded div2 before today

[frozen meadow]

so you never did the regulus project?

even though you had it unlocked for over two years?

[sleek citrus]

i mean i didnt play Division2 after my pc died

[plucky yacht]

Is there an AR that outperforms all the others on a red build? Or should I go for whatever AR I want

[frozen meadow]

famas or kingbreaker usually are the go-to's

[twin shuttle]

@frozen meadow tbh im kinda the same... I dont unlock random crap cuz i dont need to!
every time I try a diferent build then wht im used to, then wht I personaly created... I always go bck to it cuz all other builds are not good for my play style! So trying new things is kinda useless at this point...
I got the Regulus and nemesis for the sake of getting them... but never actually used them in an active situation lol

[drifting brook]

hello, bought the game recently and after 8-9 hours it now crash every 20ish min, any solution?

[sturdy cape]

nothing that works for everyone, crashing on pc has been a common issue for years unfortunately

[drifting brook]

yes but every 20 min, its unplayable tbh

[twin shuttle]

yesterday I played TD2 for 14 hours straight without crashing
I think the crashes are memory leaked related... so iv been testing lately cleaning my RAM every 20-30 mins... it has worked so far!
I noticed this cuz at some point TD2 was taking 24 GB of RAM for no reason... so i started cleaning my RAM with Advanced System Care to test how the game would react!

[sturdy cape]

for every suggestion i've seen there's people saying they tried it and it didn't help. devs need to fix it

[twin shuttle]

I agree... Devs need to 100% fix it, no doubt about it... just dont think a dead game with bad servers tht dont bring Ubi money is a priority
They prolly have the 2 coffee interns fixing bugs nowadays... while the actual devs are working on other things, like giving us a Division shity battleroyal game no one asked for!

[sturdy cape]

i had the game crash immediately on load-in today which doesn't fit the ram leak pattern

then some days play for hours without issues, tis weird

[elfin hazel]

we get it you don't like heartland existing

[sturdy cape]

seems like quite a few people recently bought the game on steam. game's dead? no money for ubi? not so sure about that

[elfin hazel]

yea again if the game/franchise is so dead why would ubi start development again after tu12 & list it as a major brand at the start of the year

[sturdy cape]

i wonder if they're using the same game engine as the division for any of their new projects

[twin shuttle]

yes, I dont like BR's...
The Division 2 has one of the best open world experiences iv ever played... and mind you, I love GTA5, Red Dead Redemption 2... and things like DayZ and Arma 3 DayZ MOD... Tarkov and HUNT showdown!
And still I say The Division 2 has one of the best open world hand crafted maps... This game has the perfect formula for a kick ass DayZ Type survival game, and wht do they do?? A BR no one asked for lol
When i saw The Day Before i was genuinely excited... finally a Division type game in a survival setting, turns out its just a scam and a disapointment!

[elfin hazel]

more than likely since snowdrop is made by massive

[sturdy cape]

i wonder if landing the new projects has given them more motivation to fix the division's engine stability issues then, wanting to avoid the same issue occurring again

[twin shuttle]

The Division, Wildlands, TD2, and the new Division heartlands are all the same engine
Not sure about breakpoint as i never played it!

[elfin hazel]

we know heartland is more survival focused and not just a br

[sturdy cape]

er, ok? @twin shuttle

[twin shuttle]

sure, but in the end its like "Survival DLC for first Division"... A survival but we can clearly see its BR or king of the Hill
thts why I didnt like Survival DLC... it was just a BR

[twin shuttle]

wht ???

[elfin hazel]

also wildlands isn't on snowdrop

[twin shuttle]

I stand corrected... looked the same to me

[sturdy cape]

@twin shuttle your comment doesn't answer my question so not sure what your point is

[burnt plank]

Soo...PvPvE is real?

[covert owl]

i was try to iron horse but i dont know if lags on raid will be i tryed at 2020 and didnt work because my polish friends send wedding and reception photos because pissed me off and i paused or aborted mission sorry no effense

but dont worry i catch with with iron horse if i can

[low lily]

Wut

[twin shuttle]

man... we need them to fix the summit so badly

the summit is such a nice place to farm targeted loot

[sturdy cape]

pity the setting is so bland tho

[sturdy cape]

i can't stop re-reading it trying to figure out what it means lol

ok enough...it'll remain a mystery

[covert owl]

nothing nevermind

[covert owl]

that mean i was killed many times by first annoying boss with alot armor if you meaning

[sturdy cape]

part of what you said above means that?

[covert owl]

yeah

hi

i am have qestiropn

is tzhe need in world rang kaptiol stonghold no inavion mission need

i a not need the invasion mision i a need normal misison for techincan

stepp 3

[sturdy cape]

you can switch an invaded mission back to the normal version by going to the floating panel at the start of the mission

should be a toggle mission or something shown at the bottom

[true lintel]

only if its that invaded this week. might be different if its first time on all invaded map

[azure lintel]

is the need foor followq mision for the kaptiol stonghold

[true lintel]

if its invaded probably have to clear it for the week first.. then hold (g?) to swap mission style.

[sturdy cape]

dont you need to be past all that stuff to be unlocking other specialisations?

[true lintel]

you can unlock all 3 at same time just 1 at a time.. if that make sense.

[azure lintel]

is techincal good

for solo playing

[true lintel]

I got y1 pass from forever ago so Im not fully sure, but when it comes to the "other" unlocks its like that.

[sturdy cape]

technician is great for skill builds

[true lintel]

tech is honestly the best for all builds

[azure lintel]

can your help me for rush to mision to techncal

the invasion mission rush

on normal

is antoher spezi better

[sturdy cape]

different specialisations go well with different builds

technician is definitely worth unlocking tho imo

[azure lintel]

is tical heary to unlock

im am on step 3

[sturdy cape]

hairy? could be, didn't look closely

[azure lintel]

difficult

to solo

[sturdy cape]

it was a while ago but i dont recall any of the specialisation tasks being difficult

[azure lintel]

can where help me for rush to invasions misions

[lethal pollen]

Can I give my friend an item I found a few days ago?

[sturdy cape]

can only drop stuff to people that were in the mission at the time you got it, and then there's a timer of an hour

[true lintel]

only if they were in the grp, and you still have that uno-style trade icon with their name on it

[azure lintel]

is the warlods of ny better to end of story

yeas and no

special after warlords yes and no

[sturdy cape]

warlords is definitely worth getting if you're enjoying the game imo

[azure lintel]

special after warlods of

[sturdy cape]

oh it's special, and hairy

[azure lintel]

the techncal better after warlods

yes and no

[sturdy cape]

same i guess. good before warlords, good after

[rustic zinc]

I'd honestly say Warlords is essential if you plan on playing the game long term.

[lethal pollen]

ty to those who answered

[true lintel]

you get "paragon"/watch levels with warlord.. so yah more "long term" stuff. and with the glitch exp farms nonstop.. getting to 1000SHD and having 0 builds is a common thing. 😐

[astral roost]

Is there a gearset that helps get more signature ammo?

[true lintel]

tip of the spear?

[astral roost]

Thanks

[keen hawk]

Can you still get "Dark Winter" SMG in DZ???

[grim marlin]

yep

And from named item caches.

[azure lintel]

i am runing the warods of new york

[valid quiver]

Hey is anyone good to do the iron horse rad

Raid*

[long pond]

ill dm you

[valid quiver]

I've been trying to do it for hours and can't

Awesome👍🏻

I have a similar issue it may help resetting the world difficulty

Sometimes it's funny if you have completed the strongholds

[clever blade]

Gotcha, appreciate it

Sucks because I thoroughly enjoyed coming back to this game, but she's a big-ol buggy mess. Even my pentagon is glitched lol

[midnight onyx]

That's because of the pathetic idiots that don't wanna work for anything and the even bigger morons farming thousands of SHD levels for no reason except the damn polarity event or apparel

[clever blade]

Don't exactly know how the game being buggy, and people putting time into the game correlates but go off I guess

[tropic arrow]

Can someone help me kill these 4 hunters

I’m tryna get their masks

[twin shuttle]

im so used to playing this on Heroic all the time, tht i had forgotten how easy it was when ur not on heroic

the diference in the dificulty between challenging and heroic is a massive jump!

[primal skiff]

I bought the DLC today yay

[twin shuttle]

warlords?? yeah... now u start playing the real game 😛

[primal skiff]

Yeah i am thinking
Of finishing the professions first

Aiming for tech one for perma tech overload

Does it work?

[devout knot]

don't, just don't

get to 40 first

[devout knot]

so that you get useful stuff while leveling your thingy

bc absolutely all the gear you have that's below 40, is trash now

[primal skiff]

Even my exotic guns? @devout knot

[low flame]

Keep the exotics

You can make them level 40 once you reach level 40

[modern plover]

do the hunters on floor 100 drop exotics?

[devout knot]

what ag said

[graceful wind]

Got my first chainkillier and claws out today. I've only been playing this game for a little under 2 years

in 4 hours of playing inside an SMG targeted loot area, landed zero CMMG Banshees and just 2 sig MPX's.

[plain trail]

how many bounties did you do

in 4 hours

[graceful wind]

none, just purely open world activities

in fact I entirely forgot about bounties

Also confined to the financial district of NYC

[plain trail]

well those 4 hours were done inefficiently then so no wonder your farming was ineffective

reminds me of how back in college these groups of college girls who'd all go to the library for like 8 hours to "study"

and then they'd just socialize for 8 hours and then complain about their bad grades despite them spending "all day on saturday in the library"

[torpid plume]

He got a claws out so definitely not ineffective, I'm still yet to find one.

[long pond]

so is the diamondback inaccessible?

[balmy cedar]

What do you mean

[frozen meadow]

At the moment if you don't have one, you can't get one

[balmy cedar]

Expedition is inaccessible but the diamondback is in the target loot pool

[frozen meadow]

It is?

[balmy cedar]

Yes

[frozen meadow]

I thought it's only in the loot pool for.people who have it

[balmy cedar]

No it’s not one of those

[frozen meadow]

Apologies then

[balmy cedar]

Those are season reward exotics and project exotics

[long pond]

expeditions arent accessible so i cant do steos to get it

[frozen meadow]

It's in the general loot pool

[balmy cedar]

You can farm Rifle targeted loot

[frozen meadow]

So just farm rifles and you'll get it eventually

[long pond]

really?

[balmy cedar]

Go in the summit or countdown

[long pond]

awesome

[balmy cedar]

Summit is better bc cdirectives and boss floor

[frozen meadow]

Not rn cuz summit is laggy af

[balmy cedar]

Countdown is where u go to die to useless team

Jk

[long pond]

is countdown pvp?

[balmy cedar]

Countdown rng bad for exotics imo lol

[frozen meadow]

I'm not useless :(

[frozen meadow]

It's the same rng tho

[balmy cedar]

Yes but summit has targeted loot and directives and you can farm the boss floor… countdown just has targeted loot and base drop rate

[frozen meadow]

But exotic crates

[balmy cedar]

Directives increase your chance to get more targeted loot therefore giving you more drops per kill

Exotic crate rng is worse cause it’s not targeted loot

[hybrid ore]

I've personally never found Summit to be a particularly efficient farm for Exotics. The kill rate is just too low.
Countdown caches aren't exactly amazing either.

I'm sure someone here knows how many Countdowns it would take to open a single one.

[balmy cedar]

Directives that are easy to run if you’re purely just farming

Hard to earn (this can be hit or miss if you don’t know how to CQC)
Pistolero with gunner spec
Ammo hoarders bc pistolero (ammo cap)
Ragers
Fog of war
Cool skills
Scavenged skills

[low lily]

For me countdown is amazing for exotics

Also for Relic's 😸 that will drop always, doesn't matter what targeted loot is

[balmy cedar]

I get like 1 exotic a week from countdown sadly

grinded it for a few days to get proficient ina ton of stuff

[low lily]

Got mine also to 22 yesterday was happy

[balmy cedar]

😭

I’m at 17

I have skills and gear named item + exotics left

I don’t have the patience for it

[low lily]

Of course i did it on fay, i was 12 before, i don't really farm as such much

[plain trail]

+1

[balmy cedar]

Oh I’ve been farming

[plain trail]

TL is not great for getting exotics in general

i recommend doing bounties

or opening exotic caches

if you're looking for an exotic

[hybrid ore]

I'm genuinely curious about whether MSV will do something about the Faye farm.
It's getting to the point where it's "standard", more-so than just "the current thing".

[balmy cedar]

Wish they left Anderson the way it was

Random exotic on completion it’s not like you’re breaking the game, you gotta play through 15 mins of boring content

[low lily]

They will do something about it for sure

[balmy cedar]

Heard they removed it

[low lily]

Nahh still there

[balmy cedar]

The exotic component drop chance for cps is 10%… ran cps for 3 hours not 1 component

[low lily]

Run ordinary dz and open caches twice

[hybrid ore]

I choose to believe you just took 3 hours to complete one CP.

[balmy cedar]

Multiple cps lol

[hybrid ore]

Just Venice map, but you couldn't work out the bridge part.

[balmy cedar]

I like downtown east and judiciary square (4 person group)

[low lily]

But yeah arrow, if you and your buddy open chest at the same time, you can get 2 exotic parts from dz chest

[balmy cedar]

It was with a skill build I don’t really have the patience to get shot at during cps when running with randoms

[hybrid ore]

I know this is blasphemy to farmers, but I've never been able to just farm a few CP's. I have to vary up or I want to alt+f4.
except for the west Navy one. I haven't done that in over 6 months and it will remain red.

[balmy cedar]

I personally just ignore anything not in downtown west or downtown east

They’re just awkwardly designed

The other cps

[low lily]

Demo site one is my favourite

[hybrid ore]

Let's be honest here, Gas Station is the absolute best for farming. With the way it's designed, you can clear the first wave in less than 10 seconds.

[balmy cedar]

Either too big so enemies are spread out or there’s no cover … or there’s too many buildings cough cough solar farm where enemies take forever to kill

I love gas station wish it rotated factions more

I love true sons

[hybrid ore]

one flamey Rusher getting shot status procs an entire wave of goons. It's magic.

[balmy cedar]

I love how many archetypes get some sort of fire buff towards the player 😂

Breaking weak points is so satisfying 👀

earlier I broke the weakpoint of a true sons heavy gunner and the bullets killed all his friends in a radius of 8 meters 😂

[hybrid ore]

When I crawl out of my solo cave and actually play with humans, it's amazing that a 5 year old game has this many players that don't seem to realise just how powerful breaking weakpoints is.

Even BT and their hip-grenades can stunlock a fairly decent range.

[balmy cedar]

I always try to break their weakpoints during extraction in countdown

But for some reason heroic countdown needs so much dmg to weakpoint

Only ever manage with the tank bc the other ones run off before I get a chance

[hybrid ore]

BT Heavies are a 2-step process for sure.

1. their left side red bit for BT, whatever for other factions.
2. shoot the belt to remove the chest plate, the head is too small a target for 99% of players and removing that exposes the health bar.

step 2 also works great if you're using the Crossbow. One chest shot exposes it on Heroic.

[balmy cedar]

I never knew the back of a bt tank was unarmored until recently

[hybrid ore]

My first DH and someone told me to "aim for the butt", I honestly thought it was a joke.

[graceful wind]

All the tanks have massive red panels

either on the side or on the back

[analog crown]

I just made my character into a first responder

[low lily]

The event clothing are good

[balmy cedar]

I honestly wonder what the function of the rikers tank weakpoint is for

The tanks on his back

Like how the true sons tank weakpoint is his grenade ammo

Black tusk backpack is his support station

The heck do those do on him tho 👁️

[hybrid ore]

The little tanks on his shoulder? Those are pressure thingy's for his nailgun.

A lot of the NPC's can't use abilities once you break their stuff. Cleaner heavy swaps to a melee if you destroy his tanks, etc.

[plucky pivot]

just reached level 40 lads

👍

[molten spire]

welcome to the endgame! And presumably #td2-build-advice (as always, check the pinned spreadsheet out, it's amazing, answers lots of questions and is a good basis for asking follow up questions

[balmy cedar]

Nice

[frozen meadow]

drop chance from dz crates is 25%. after two hours i got none

[balmy cedar]

Yea I don’t like how they did that if you’re gonna do it like that then might as well increase the drop rates

[frozen meadow]

people say "oh just do dz" then you go there and all boxes are taken

and the boxes you do open give you jack shit

what irritates me is poeople having the audacity to just say "tough luck"

i run countdown for exotics because i cant get it any other way consistently. dont call it shit because its not luck dependant

[verbal chasm]

is it smart to equip 6 different brand set gears to lvl up the expertise lvl? if yes where is the best place to do some killing for this

[analog crown]

I just cleared the prison. Had 1 person helping. That boss was annoying

[paper phoenix]

Parnell is super agitating

Also super annoying is having bugged Rogue Agent spawns again

[plain plume]

i feel stupid for not noticing but turns out Jammer procs Vile's dot

[sleek citrus]

Regulus blueprint bugged? cant craft it or doesnt seems to notice my pistol

[muted rapids]

I’m having server issues whenever I group up and I have no idea what is causing it, no other game on my PC is affected by this

[molten spire]

yeah, being grouped with a crowd control/jammer player takes a lot of the nuisance out of fighting Parnell

you also get to set him on fire

[low lily]

You kinda have to bully people out of server first.

[frozen meadow]

no matter how you approach it, expertise will be hell to level up

[frozen meadow]

thats a ton of work for farming lmao

[low lily]

We usually just kill people till server is empty and then farm. Majority people who take chests are farmers and they will leave after getting killed like once or twice.

[paper phoenix]

Yeah, been bugged since new season launch

[frozen meadow]

But what if someone bullies you

[low lily]

Then you leave the server. Sometimes you are a Wholf and sometimes you are a Sheep 😸

[frozen meadow]

very inefficient

[verbal chasm]

what is scorpio? what skill is that, someone suggested me to have that skill or idk what it is

[frozen meadow]

exotic shotgun

[verbal chasm]

oh..

well damn

[paper phoenix]

It's a very nice weapon

Stunlocks after a couple of shots

[verbal chasm]

i guess ill try to get it

btw there is so many defensive gear mod but which one do i need the most?

i want to do some purging in my inv

[lone valve]

Protection from elites comes in handy

[balmy cedar]

U on rn I can help u get the Scorpio

[small spear]

pfe, resistance mods

[balmy cedar]

Delete armor on kill

[small spear]

all the other ones are not worth it

[balmy cedar]

Also delete blind / deaf

[frozen meadow]

lol

[balmy cedar]

@verbal chasm

[lone valve]

BTW this is getting horrible with these off site activities
Summit legendary was unplayable after one room that everyone just quit
Literally took 2 seconds for my bullets to actually physically leave my gun after pressing the trigger

[balmy cedar]

.

[verbal chasm]

how exactly do one try to grind for scorpio?

[small spear]

shotgun targeted loot

[verbal chasm]

ah i see

[balmy cedar]

Friend me and i shall show you!

SpadedArrow

[verbal chasm]

ok

[balmy cedar]

Sending dm

[lone valve]

My god these servers
Did all the xp farmers get on at the same time or smth
This is unbearable

[frozen meadow]

why are you acting like this is something new lol

[lone valve]

I played summit legendary the past 2 days
Nothing wrong
But now it's kicked in

[muted rapids]

so it’s not just me

[frozen meadow]

honestly the fact you went 2 days with no issues is impressive

[muted rapids]

every time I connect to multiplayer it just gets an entire second delay for no reason

[lone valve]

I played earlier today and no server issues
But now it's horrible jesus

[frozen meadow]

thats surprising lol

[muted rapids]

when I play alone it’s literally fine

[frozen meadow]

thats just you

im doing cd with no issues

did multiple raids with no issues too

legendary TB this morning no problem

[muted rapids]

is this an average British network moment or is this an average Division 2 moment

[lone valve]

Tidal wouldn't be affected as its only off site activities
My problems have been mostly in summit now, manning and camp white oak

Or countdown when the hunters refuse to Spawn
Same with the objectives

[frozen meadow]

so just dont do summit, manning, and camp white oak

[lone valve]

Manning is the only leg mission I haven't completed
So I kinda want to do it

[frozen meadow]

patience

[dense raft]

Why so much lag on coney island??

[frozen meadow]

all off-site missions have latency rn kach

minus CD and raids

[dense raft]

Really? I didnt know that

[lone valve]

I hope massive is aware of this

[dense raft]

At least its not coming from me

[lone valve]

Cuz the patience is gonna run out eventually for people

[frozen meadow]

how about just be patient

[lone valve]

Like I said patience isn't infinite

[frozen meadow]

they know about the issue so just give them time

[lone valve]

Do they tho

[frozen meadow]

its on the trello board yes they do

[lone valve]

Haven't seen anything about them knowing about it

Oh is it?

[frozen meadow]

yes lol

[lone valve]

Yes I see that now

[paper phoenix]

It's not like there aren't other games to play in the meantime

[frozen meadow]

lol

[lone valve]

I mean yea
I play other games
Just when I got on to specifically do summit I got with unbearable lag and vented my frustrations

Summit map doesn't even load when I pull it up 😅

[frozen meadow]

theres more to this game than summit

[lone valve]

Never did I say the contrary

[paper phoenix]

This whole "SHD Skill Kills" league event is a fucking slog

[frozen meadow]

idk what that means

[paper phoenix]

For Chunks League

[frozen meadow]

what does "is a fucking slog" mean

[paper phoenix]

Means dragging ass

[frozen meadow]

lol its not necessary anyways

i just did this week and last weeks league missions

[paper phoenix]

I haven't really had a chance to do anything league related. Been too busy with work and other things

It would be nice if the game would let the Rogue Agents spawn in like they're supposed to, instead of despawning them right away.

[frozen meadow]

wdym

[sharp night]

Hey

[paper phoenix]

I've been running into this bug from time to time where I hear the warning tones and ISAC says "Rogue Agent Detected" and the music starts, but then a couple of seconds later I hear "Target Lost" and they despawn as if they've killed me.

[frozen meadow]

f

[sharp night]

Hey when is heartland coming out

[frozen meadow]

theres no date

[sharp night]

Okay thanks

[long pond]

Oxi chem launcher is a decent choice

[paper phoenix]

Huh, the Fragile Armor directive is broken. That's awesome

[smoky stag]

shooting range oxi lol

[long pond]

?

[smoky stag]

for shd skill kills for the league, skill kills in shooting range count
that was meant for @paper phoenix

[paper phoenix]

Ah, that would have been nice to know earlier 🙃

[long pond]

Np

[clear adder]

Wdym? It truly counts?

[smoky stag]

yeah

[paper phoenix]

I got it finally. Just slapped together my old 6 Tier skill build and tore up a few CPs

[rose salmon]

is this discord an official TD2 one? If I were to request something to improve the game, would it be more worth going directly to Ubi

[smoky stag]

the term "fallen on deaf ears" would apply

[crude jasper]

Just finished all 25 hunter masks

Very proud of myself that was a journey

[celest fable]

has there been any updates on increasing the loadout size (builds)

or still gotta resort to 2nd chars?

[rose salmon]

haha makes sense. I really want there to be a "open all apparel caches" button so I dont have to go through 99+ individually

[long pond]

Is the tech signature weapon any good indoors?

[smoky stag]

there will not be any added loadout slots. server costs thingy

[celest fable]

sadge

[smoky stag]

it can work. not effectively tho.
just dont hit a solid object near your head

[long pond]

It wouldnt be so bad if you didn't have to hold a button to open, then another button press to reveal pants or shoes

[smoky stag]

we all do
one guy even made a macro just to hands free open all those. about several thousand
eventually crashed lol

[crude jasper]

Now if only they would fix the regulus so I could complete my build

[rose salmon]

haha yeah like if there was no reveal and it did it itself

[crude jasper]

Devs please I crave the revolver

[long pond]

Like the anti climax could kill me sometimes

[rose salmon]

I will gladly keep an object on the key to just continue opening them so I can do something else

[keen osprey]

Congrats❤️

[crude jasper]

Thanks I’m glad it’s over and my hybrid build is mostly complete

Needed that chest piece from WONY hunters but it was a pain to get

[long pond]

For a mostly pve player, is gunner or survivalist the way to go

[crude jasper]

Gunner imo but also check out firewall

[keen osprey]

the worst 1 imo was shooting the targets in nyc, waiting a full day to do next task😪

[crude jasper]

That was the last one I just did

I messed it up last night and was so mad I just went to bed

[long pond]

I like the skill tree for firewall but the flamethrower feels so boring to use

[keen osprey]

demos good for the stagger by explosion perk

[crude jasper]

Might be the angriest a game ever made me I shot a target at 5:30 instead of 7 and it all reset

[long pond]

I do a lot of status effects and healing.

[crude jasper]

Technician then

[keen osprey]

i did that but avoided it for 14 months, more power to u i say

[crude jasper]

For hive and healing bonus,

[crude jasper]

Got so mad you waited a year 😂

Real

The hunter-killer + memento is ridiculous though highly recommend

[low flame]

The spec you choose will depend on your build. If you’re using spotter/flatline or using a skill build then technician will be good for you. If you’re playing up close then the striker shield from firewall can help. Gunner can give a little bit of survivability with its aok. Sharpshooter can be used for sniper builds. That’s just a few examples

If you’re playing I’d recommend survivalist

For the outgoing healing and armor kit

[keen osprey]

lol, we do them in our clan discord for new players now so they avoid making the same mistakes. They dont know the pain🫡🥵

[low flame]

Along with the extra damage to targets with status effects which can be helpful

[keen osprey]

Chance n damage rolled 😍

[crude jasper]

That’s insane I wish I have chance and handling

I’m still holding out for that roll I’ll be visiting Mendoza every time until I get it

[long pond]

That's what im leaning towards.

[crude jasper]

Just dropped an absolute bag of resources into the current piece though so I gotta farm optimization caches and dz

[keen osprey]

if u run 2nd 3rd or 4th char thru wony u can open both hunter boxes again for a chance at better roll or find casey

[crude jasper]

Oh nah I’m just gonna let Mendoza restock it I’m not going through that again

I’m a 1 character player I don’t have that kind of time or patience

[keen osprey]

yikes😫

[crude jasper]

That’s why you keep ‘em stockpiled though that’s about the only piece I needed to work on anyway

[keen osprey]

i said the same til i got to 16 builds i didnt want to lose

[crude jasper]

Oof I’ll stick to 4 or 5

[keen osprey]

you'll change, took me 2500 hrs to move my stubborn ass, spoiler... Its a grind getting the spec trees re kitted with points. Hope u can enjoy those builds for as long as u can haha👍

[tribal sparrow]

hey, level 12, looking for an insane xp grind to max 30, any suggestions?

[crude jasper]

FIX REGULUS I NEED IT SO BAD :((((

[paper phoenix]

Just do the missions with a few activities and you'll get there

[verbal chasm]

when u recalibrate a gears core, u cant recalibrate the other attributes?

[balmy cedar]

No

[paper phoenix]

No, you're allowed one re-roll

[rose salmon]

honestly doing the missions and then side missions only will get you to like 27/28 I think and then open world activities I think would be best way to get you rest of way

[tribal sparrow]

sweet man, i used to be playing back all to when the game realeased, i left off when the first 3 sets of excotics got realeased

[paper phoenix]

Honestly don't worry about a build or anything until you get to end-game, which is WONY. Once you beat WONY and get the watch then you can prioritize piecing together something.

[plucky flare]

Hi! I’m looking for EB exotic. I heard that EB spawns in DZ random drop, but I’ve never had that gun(I didn’t do normal level raids). Does it actually drop in DZ? I’m looking for it almost 1 week

[paper phoenix]

It does spawn in the DZ but it's got a lower drop rate than even the other exotics that might spawn.

[plucky flare]

Thanks!

[silk canyon]

Bahahaha

I just realised skill builds bypass most of the braincells needed for the polarity switch thing since gadgets don't have polarity

Goddammit :'D

[smoky stag]

figuring that out is the real use of braincells

you use your brain to make things easier, not harder 🙂

[long pond]

You ever get that scorpio?

[balmy cedar]

Nah

Game told us to dig a hole and cry inside

[lone valve]

It do be like that
I got a random capacitor in legendary summit earlier from completing a floor 😭

Just want my bighorn man

[smoky stag]

hows the lag in summit?

[balmy cedar]

I realize we could have done it on legendary but man were we struggling on heroic bc of lag

[balmy cedar]

My fast hands wouldn’t work

[lone valve]

Horrible
The bullets off my scorpio took 2 seconds to even come out

[long pond]

I have a second one that dropped for me last night if you want it

[balmy cedar]

Delayed damage and boss mostly took damage from headshots

[balmy cedar]

You can only share with people who are in ur group at the time of getting that exotic unfortunately

[smoky stag]

whats the TL on capitol or DUA?

[balmy cedar]

And only through reward or pick up no buying of caches

[lone valve]

Dua is aces iirc

[balmy cedar]

Golan at capitol

[smoky stag]

hmmmm
i was gonna suggest to do 15-20 minute capitol legendary speedruns to farm the BH if summit was bad

[lone valve]

Yea it's 1 am on a Sunday for me here
Not alot of people running legendary
Probably tmrw ill continue the grind

Going for the bighorn Atleast gives me smth to work towards
Instead of just farming resource convoys

[smoky stag]

i can assist. im bored

[lone valve]

Nah I gotta go to sleep

[smoky stag]

ayt coo

[manic grotto]

Does anyone Pc crash a lot play div 2 pc

[raw minnow]

a lot of Delta 3s for me.

[balmy cedar]

I don’t get why people like the bighorn 🥲

[modest lintel]

For certain pvp build, it’s good

[balmy cedar]

It’s handling sux and the fire rate on its semi mode is kinda slow - scoped mode is kind of difficult to use bc the zoom isn’t that far

If it was guaranteed crits it would be nice but it would take away the diamondbacks talent in a sense

[modest lintel]

Play to the strength of the weapon

[vague pecan]

pretty sure it's good in HSD builds

[modest lintel]

When u know, u know

[balmy cedar]

I used it for a while I think 2 of its main benefits are it’s ability to down certain enemies in 1 mag and it has smg reload speed

[vague pecan]

guaranteed crits when scoped?

[balmy cedar]

Yea

[vague pecan]

that sounds crazy broken

[balmy cedar]

That’s what I was experiencing in the shooting range that’s why I thought of it lol

Every scoped shot was a crit shot

[vague pecan]

it already has it's place in the HSD world tbf

[balmy cedar]

So it’s like rifleman in a sense?

[vague pecan]

pretty much

[balmy cedar]

I haven’t seen the appeal… is it meant for CQC?

[vague pecan]

strikers HSD comes to mind

get stacks, pop heads

[balmy cedar]

Sounds interesting I’ll have to give it a shot

Is it just a crit strikers build or strikers hsd?

[vague pecan]

HSD

[balmy cedar]

Interesting

I saw a video where someone used strikers with it but it was crit

Still slapped

But they used it as an smg and never used it’s scoped mode

[vague pecan]

I mean it can be used but you can stack HSD on gear sets more than you can crit

[balmy cedar]

What’s the base hsd - 80%?

[lone valve]

I mean even if I won't like the gun itself
Still want it for my collection

[vague pecan]

idk but it comes with +30% on scope

[balmy cedar]

I might use it for hunters in countdown then if that’s a build.. it sounds interesting I didn’t realize people rolled it with hsd

[balmy cedar]

Oh for sure I got mine in legendary summit boss floor 60 I think

[naive sand]

wow i didn't know people can have free shield on their back

[gilded perch]

Good in pvp because its talent and scope, you get 30 or 40 headshot without zoom, if your build are prefer tank and lacking of damage, then bighorn are better than eb

[steel charm]

is the big horn in the exotic cache pool

[lone valve]

Nope

[steel charm]

damn thanks for the info

[small spear]

depends on the gun type

AR 55%
LMG 65%
SMG 50%
Shotgun 45%
Rifle 60% (MDR: 95%)
MMR 0 (core attribute)
Pistol 100%

[paper phoenix]

Either drops during Legendaries or you can now farm for it in the DZs as of Season 11's release

But the DZ drop rate for EB, Ravenous and Bighorn is super low even compared to the regular Exotic drop rate

[balmy cedar]

Ooh nice Ty for this

[small spear]

it's in the Weapons sheet in the gear spreadsheet too

i just summarized them

[gritty onyx]

New to the discord but def not the game just looking for some folks to run the DZ WIT

[balmy cedar]

Which tab?

[small spear]

weapons

the one where you view the base dmg, dps, etc.

the last column is the hidden HSD stat

[balmy cedar]

Oooh

Okay Ty

What a shame why does sweet dreams have lower than other shotguns

[plush otter]

MDR isnt 95 for a long time, got changed a long time ago to match the other rifles, from memory at tu10 with that rebalance, the only 2 weaps of the top of my head that still have different hsd values are the spas12 based exos and mg5, all other outliers were changed to match

[small spear]

gotcha

[balmy cedar]

Why was it 95?

[plush otter]

double checked with ingame aswell to make sure on the mdr, the reddit sheet does have all matching values aswell for rifles, so ill just alter that one, as its likely a old value no-one took the time to update

[balmy cedar]

Could u link the Reddit sheet here I’d like to check it out

[plush otter]

the mg5 and mdr were weapons that were added in later all the way back in div1, and they had different values there aswell, and when they were ported over to div2, someone forgot to bring them in line is my guess, and the mdr did get changed at some point but the spas exo's and mg5 still have different values than their class

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

[balmy cedar]

Lol why is it double the exotic components to go from 20 to 21

Then what it’s double of that to go from 21 to 22?

[rancid island]

Stupid right

[balmy cedar]

Is someone at ubi high

Going to 20 isn’t that bad

What was it in the pts they had to nerf the material cost

[azure lintel]

I played the whole campaign on pc but switched my main platform to ps5. What do I miss if I skip the main campaign? Idc about the story as I already played

[balmy cedar]

Trophies

That’s it

[azure lintel]

I hear side missions too?

[rancid island]

Yeah my famas is on 20 atm and im questioning a is it even worth to go to 22

[balmy cedar]

Yea

[azure lintel]

Is there specific gear from those

[balmy cedar]

No just skip to wt5 do pentagon mission and darpa + dz recon missions

They’re bugged if you boost to ny for some people

[rancid island]

One side miss you get full skin outfit

[azure lintel]

I can always do that on a later character and transfer tho right

[rancid island]

Yee

[balmy cedar]

I’d also just do coney, manning and camp white oak bc I boosted one my one character and it was being buggy for camp white oak for me

Someone else played manning and they couldn’t change difficulty

[azure lintel]

Huh alright thanks

[balmy cedar]

Basically anything offsite just do

[balmy cedar]

remind me again where u get ur exotic components from I think I already asked but I forgot lol

The last named item I need is the gift 😭

[rancid island]

CD points exotic caches

[balmy cedar]

2 of them - 1 with weapon handling and hsd and 1 with crit dmg and Chc

How long u spend on a cp?

[noble widget]

Think he means countdown points maybe?

[rancid island]

Yea

Per match? 15min for heroic

[noble widget]

It’s an exotic every 30ish mins

[balmy cedar]

Heroic cd is unplayable on ps5 unfortunately

[noble widget]

Depending on group

[balmy cedar]

Isn’t it 1 match for exotic cache on heroic cd

If u extract and get all hunters

[rancid island]

Actually can you buy exotic cache after every heroic or needs to be two?

[balmy cedar]

208 credits, how much a cache cost

[noble widget]

224

[balmy cedar]

That’s an L

Need to lower that smh

[rancid island]

So every 2 matches exotic i mean not bad

[balmy cedar]

20 stars for 1 exotic cache is leeching

[noble widget]

I just run challenging for a nice middle ground if ur solo

[balmy cedar]

I think I got my vector to 14 and my Virginian to 14

Wanna take them both to 20

Doing both tho at the same time is costly

[rancid island]

Is Virginian just named version of 1886?

[small spear]

yes

[balmy cedar]

Talent is pretty good

You get back on average 3 bullets making the mag size 8

That’s with 60% Chc

Can down a legendary chunga in 1 mag essentially (group scaling of 4)

Same with warhounds

With regular boomerang it’s similar but you don’t get the consistency

For regular 1886 I opt for Ranger for hunters and boomerang

[lost coyote]

What’s the best build to just solo through stuff atm?

[sturdy cape]

unless you want to be more specific then the answer to that will be very subjective

my heartbreaker build is probably my favourite for general use, nice mix of dps and bonus armour

[lost coyote]

I’ve heard of it and it looks like it utilizes LMGs too which are my favorite

Im definitely looking for a strong general purpose build atm

[sturdy cape]

i use the auto-shotgun to build stacks fast and a good AR but it'd work well with LMGs too for sure

[lost coyote]

I’ve been using Pestilence bc I enjoy it but I imagine it’s probably not the best in slot LMG?

[sturdy cape]

yeah i doubt it's best in slot but i use it for general solo heroic + directives play, does well imo, i like it a lot

[lost coyote]

Okay! I’ll farm some Heartbreaker whenever it’s targeted loot comes back up lol

[sturdy cape]

pestilence damage ticks scale of stuff like +damage to armour/health/targets oo cover so needs a pretty specific build to make it shine

yeah heartbreaker is great, that's one answer to your question tho and there's many others. depends what suits you

[lost coyote]

I just wanna melt face with LMGs tbh

I’m a more defensive player usually

[neon epoch]

any tips for me? just got the game

[sturdy cape]

warlords dlc is great, if you want to keep playing past doing the main story it's kinda a must have

you can 'call for backup' if you get stuck anywhere, it pings other players an invite to your session

[neon epoch]

just bought it the sale came in clutch

[sturdy cape]

yeah sweet

also if you're playing on pc, be warned, crashes are common and is likely something you can't fix, devs need to sort it

[neon epoch]

how do i access the new gear the dlc gives me?

[sturdy cape]

hmm, not sure exactly when stuff becomes available but everything is once you finish both campaigns

[lost coyote]

I’m a returning player myself and best I can tell you is just loot everything you come across. Even if you don’t need it, you’ll probably dismantle gear for components later on

[sturdy cape]

and up until then i wouldn't really bother with trying to put together a polished build, running the best of the drops you get will generally get you through story mode just fine

also i'd suggest starting the dlc immediately after you finish the base campaign in DC. once you start the dlc all your previous gear basically becomes trash

[little bough]

Dlc? Is that the warlords of new york?

[sturdy cape]

yep

[little bough]

Thank you

[sturdy cape]

[low lily]

Yeah NY is a must if you wanna actually play division 2

Of course people who are trophy hunters and stuff, doesn't need it really

[little bough]

Okay, I just bought it. Leveling up then I'll start it

[sturdy cape]

without spoiling anything the full game essentially opens up once you finish the dlc so i'd make finishing both base+dlc campaigns a priority

[noble widget]

The games locked behind the dlc if anything lol

[low lily]

Makes sense actually, considering first year was fully free

[twin shuttle]

@little bough yup... focus on doing the missions in NYC to finish the story the fastest possible and hit lvl40!
Also remember, you can ask for back up... so a high lvl joins ur game and helps you with the mission!
Once you finish the last mission in NYC and fight keener, thts when the endgame open world gets unlocked!

[graceful valve]

to get players to grind grind grind

[balmy cedar]

Yea ik filler content

[little bough]

Thank you for the tips I appreciate it 😊

[twin shuttle]

just make alt toons... and claim the free mats with ur 10k SHD lvls
easy max mats every time!

[low lily]

You will find a lot people in Ny Expansion, people farming that proficiency levels there 😸

@balmy cedar you got the shotgun for him?

[balmy cedar]

nah

we did like 17 runs - maybe i wasnt doing it right

only had floor 40 so only 1 boss cuz ive been field recon farming from 10

heroic diff with a few directives
ammo hoarders
ragers
fog of war
hard to earn
No regen
special ammo

we killed first wave, killed boss, collected loot, went to lobby

@low lily

TL shotguns on both players

[low lily]

Wouldn't 90 be better, doesn't it have like 3 bosses? I farmed my raid builds there for hardcore

Ohh only had 40 yeah, that makes sense

[balmy cedar]

i'll see if i can get a boost to like 80 or something and work my way up to 90 during the week in case anyone needs anything

idk why but my summit checkpoint is shared across characters, is that normal

i was thinking i could have on at floor 10 and one at floor 90

[low lily]

Haven't done summit pretty long time, so i can't tell

[pliant sentinel]

is the server undergoing maint

[low lily]

Tomarrow should be

[pliant sentinel]

[twin shuttle]

Sux to Suck! https://i.imgur.com/4uSKOEu.png

I did play for 18 hours straight without crashing tho...

forgot to clean my RAM and this happened 😄

[lost coyote]

Oof

Question, is the General Anderson mission still available? Been reading threads and apparently it’s good for farming exotics?

[twin shuttle]

the mission is available... the bug exploit XP farming isnt

[rancid island]

But do you still get exotic after is the question

[smoky stag]

you dont

[smoky stag]

wrong btw
a farm is still there

[rancid island]

Wait what how?

[smoky stag]

not gonna say

[deep blaze]

didn't they specifically patch that to remove that one x​p f​arm there before the new season even begun 🤣

or is there yet another one, because of course why wouldn't there be

sounds like latter, not surprised

[smoky stag]

at least that one that remains is not quite easily setup
it also already existed almost the same times as faye before it became widely known while anderson was the main farm

[rancid island]

So not woth even if people knew how to do it because is time based and Faye isn’t

[deep blaze]

but people might jump onto it if Fa​ye is gone
I prefer to even put a zero width space (you can copy it from between the brackets: >​<) in words of x​p and f​arm at this point in case anyone looks up stuff about it in search so it doesn't show those messages, even one person less finding it is a win in terms of server performance to me

[rancid island]

Interesting point of view

[deep blaze]

probably a drop in the ocean but still

[smoky stag]

theres also a farm that will be gone tomorrow 😄

[verbal chasm]

entered dark zone, had cool stuff n got hunted by rogue agents n lost

[rancid island]

Classic

[balmy cedar]

just deconstruct cool stuff u find they will do it to yah

deconstruct ur dz resources for that matter dont give them leeches jack

[verbal chasm]

the sad part is my gun barely do anything to them XD

[low lily]

Shoot them harder

[verbal chasm]

this one dude just camping infront of the safe zone enterance n one just running around killing.. best teamwork ever

[low lily]

There is multiple safe room doors tho

Also what region you playing

[verbal chasm]

asia

[low lily]

Just do a pop shot build, they won't do much after getting 2.8ml into them

[clear adder]

Just your average dark zone experience bro

[verbal chasm]

lol i havent even finish building a standard dps build

[low lily]

That's understandable

[mossy hinge]

My screen brightness turns really really dark whenever I alt-tab out of the game(I run it fullscreen) to check a website/discord whatever, but it turns to normal whenever I alt-tab back into the game again.
Anyone had this and found a solution to it?

[spiral oracle]

Anyone know what the allocated loot for DZ is today?

Still at work 😅

[verbal chasm]

True Patriot, Striker, n Ongoing Directive

dats what ure asking right?

is it the same for different platform? i actually dunno XD

[flat wagon]

Yoo mate @crystal pollen already have EB yet ?

[worn current]

And you went to free for all zone. Don't stare into the well if you're not ready

Hey does anyone can point me to current roadmap for div 2 and when's the nearest apparel event?

[burnt plank]

Gosh....this game..

I almost die by a hunter...keep freezing when I try to solo kill hunter in CD
