[azure lintel]

Why does not a single soul have a floor 60+ checkpoint in summit dawg

[proud locust]

It’s supposed to but for some reason in division1 we were seeing fourth echelon presence among the division agents

[viscid cargo]

lets go Descent!!!!

[proud locust]

And now they are embedded with the SHD and somehow created this state of the art simulator that’s not only meant to hybrid the division with echelon tactics but to push our limits to the highest it can be

[thorny jetty]

I think it's very funny because with everything that's happening in the "CCU" the world is a mess comparable to the world of Resident Evil

[proud locust]

In reality the echelons have existed and have been there during the outbreak and in the Aurora archipelagos which means they are universal cannons

[thorny jetty]

Ghost Recon Breakpoint happens 10 years after the green death outbreak though

[round grail]

[azure lintel]

Who knows what the future holds

[thorny jetty]

But that means that Wildlands is also canon to The Division
Which would mean that not even a cataclysmic event like that stops the "United States foreign policy" in this fictional world

I love it

[proud locust]

I took a look at this faction apparently they have I think four echelons seperate

[azure lintel]

I need a god damn floor 70 or 80 or 90 checkpoint dawg

[proud locust]

From the first echelon to the fourth

Which means this echelon in the division might be from fist to third

[thorny jetty]

Echelon is a thing in the real world but it's just a surveillance system

Third Echelon and "Echelon 4" are in-person variants of the real world Echelon system of the NSA

[reef reef]

#lfg-pc

if not there, do it yourself

[proud locust]

Originally created by the NSA I remember the black tusk have been trying to hunt the echelon for years

[azure lintel]

Dawg I need named bosses for this god damn revenous and then I need to do a iron horse raid

[reef reef]

And?

[proud locust]

Which would explain why they raided a high classified bunker next to the capital

[azure lintel]

Its a pain in the ass to get to that floor

[reef reef]

Put on a playlist or a few videos, doesnt take too long.

[rustic glade]

Took a break and missed getting a doctor home, first exotic cache I open has one inside 😂

[thorny jetty]

you could almost believe that these games have some sort of political commentary in them. but Ubisoft would never do that

[coral musk]

undigitized isac is so cursed 🤣

[cinder nacelle]

Where can I read the details?

[viscid cargo]

you can watch gameplay of it

im playing it right now lmao

[rustic glade]

I wonder if the new roguelite mode will be hardcore friendly or not

[cinder nacelle]

Oh nice. Is it cool?

[coral musk]

I joined it and my agent looks nothing like my agent, so I'm guessing it just doesn't work

[low lily]

You can do it on hardcore

[willow hollow]

How do I find the PTS on Ubisoft commect, I downloaded the game thru steam and I’ve searched for it and can’t find it

[azure grail]

idk for me its on my ubi games as a extra download\

[rustic glade]

I mean like safe to die in it since roguelites generally like to kill you a lot until you get better upgrades

[sturdy cape]

the new mode is apparently a simulation, so sounds like it wouldn't kill you

[silent wadi]

how do you download pts on steam?

[azure grail]

did anyone get an anti cheat error when starting the pts, it showed up for me but the game opened up fine.

[low lily]

I don't think dying more will give you better upgrades, nothing carries over

It doesn't kill hardcore character i did it on hardcore character

[viscid cargo]

yes i like it

[viscid cargo]

mine looks the same, but with other clothing

[silent wadi]

how do i get pts i have divsion steam?

[cinder nacelle]

Nice

[azure lintel]

bro tf

this is the 21th fox prayers that dropped for me and all i got on ps4/5 was like 4 in 9000 gear score ranks

and im not even 200 almost

[wicked rock]

Foxes do drop a lot for me on console, ...got like 4 or 5 god rolls in 400shd, and like 10 more bad ones

[azure lintel]

How can I get to lvl 40 I only have 2 side missions kek

controll points

or activitys

[viscid cargo]

should still have ubi connect

[golden otter]

I'm relatively new to the game. Level 120 or something... Best way for me to get my SHD level quickly, so i can unlock extra armour, crit chance etc ....??

[azure lintel]

Rawr man's hyped for killing kergan

[azure lintel]

focus on weapon damage first

if ur going for a dps build

then dmg then critchance

[golden otter]

regardless of what i pick, whats best and quickest way to get the points...

[azure lintel]

thats what ive done for the past 3x i restarted playing

summit farming or open world activitys

prefer open world

heroic

[golden otter]

ty

[willow hollow]

It doesn’t show up on ur Ubisoft connect…so u can’t access it unless u repurchase the game thru Ubisoft connect or create a new account.

[silent wadi]

it says i cant download it i have to get the ubisoft plus

[celest marten]

Did they give an update on the Metalhead twitch drop that didn't work?

[desert crystal]

I dont think steam automatically gets it do they

[livid plank]

did you have to do anything special or did it automatically download the 71gb? i tried downloading mine today but it was only 51 gb. as such im probably msising some files. I have done a log out and log back in as well as verify files. Nothing allowing me to actually load it up without getting services unavailable. Also on ubisoft connect

[cinder nacelle]

Just caught up on the presentation. Pretty stoked about a whole new expac coming. Hopefully it's somewhere cool like Vegas or something.

[round grail]

lol

[broken plume]

Is Descent up on the PTS yet? There's a surprising lack of videos of it on Youtube

[sturdy cape]

yep went live a few hours ago

[livid plank]

so im still a bit confused on my pts download, if anyone has any assistance on this/guidance would be appreciated.

[coral musk]

rip, just got softlocked in a room

random boss encounters sometimes don't spawn any enemies, so you can't progress, and have to restart

[vestal jungle]

how do you go into descent ?

i'm in front of the door but can't enter or matchmake

[red tapir]

anyone had issues with the washington monument hunter?

I saluted all the graves and its not giving me a prompt

[viscid cargo]

for anyone wondering, you cannot go back to DC and return to descent and keep your progress

[silent nymph]

i wonder if they will fix the appearance bug here where when i load into anything here my backpack or my chest piece shows something else here like the technician back pack appearance or the care less vest

[azure lintel]

Hold up how do I get the dmg number's next to my gun like I'm I stupid or sumthing

Always thought I had it enabled guessing I didn't 🤣

[viscid cargo]

UI, scrolling combat text to floating

[tropic compass]

Sniper turret auto attacks??

[sturdy cape]

nope

[tropic compass]

Well it's under the auto attack category on the trello skills image

[sturdy cape]

🤷‍♂️

definitely doesn't

[fast swan]

and it's the same for me .... I can't enter or find a group

[fast swan]

What ?😅😅You're joking right ?

[vestal jungle]

i was able to go into descent from the map instead maybe you can give that a try too. Icon is on the top right next to summit

[fast swan]

OK thanks a lot

[viscid cargo]

nah, i went back to DC then back to descent and i got reset

[sturdy cape]

to be expected given the game mode tho

[fast swan]

ohhh....that's really interesting stuff

[viscid cargo]

not really, no reason to not be able to save progress and continue later

[sturdy cape]

div 1 survival and underground you couldn't save mid-run or resume later. i assumed it'd be similar. fair enough that others would think differently tho i guess 🤷‍♂️

[fast swan]

I gave it fast travel on the map and it's been about 5 minutes since it tells me that it's fully charged and it's still charging

is it possible to log out and try again?

[vestal jungle]

i don't know chief

[sour sparrow]

The whole thing has to be done at night between 21:00 to 05:00 (9pm to 5am) so best plan is to clear the monument during the day, wait until 21:00, go down into the supply room, use the computer at the back of the room, run and salute emote at the graves while facing the monument (your HUD will buzz out after each one if done correctly), then go back and interact with the computer again then when you leave the CP you'll see a huge orange circle on the ground outside, walk in that to spawn the Hunter

[red tapir]

thanks ill try it again

@sour sparrow btw can u fast travel while doing it?

[sour sparrow]

I don't know, I did mine solo so had to run to each gravesite, why do you ask?

[red tapir]

I fast travelled in my first few ones thinking it might be the issue

[viscid cargo]

guys dont do the random boss encounters in descent

nobody spawns and u get softlocked

[sour sparrow]

Are the random boss encounters optional? I'm still installing the PTS so haven't touched it yet

[viscid cargo]

you get to pick 1 of 2 or 3 rooms every time

[azure lintel]

Whoop Whoop lvl 40!!

[viscid cargo]

boss encounters are 1 of them occassionaly

[lament mirage]

So what’s decent like

[viscid cargo]

its fun

[azure lintel]

@lament mirage finally got to lvl 40

[lament mirage]

Congrats now go kill kenner

[azure lintel]

Time to kill kennwr

Gonna dps the crap out of him

[sour sparrow]

Are the rooms labelled too?

[lament mirage]

Whatever u do don’t use drones / turrent

[sour sparrow]

Ah yeah that might bork the Hunter spawn

[viscid cargo]

yes

[sour sparrow]

Thank god

I don't play roguelites often because shit ain't laballed like lemme see whats next xD

[lament mirage]

Actually try it you’ll have fun

[lament mirage]

For a few minutes or

I would try the pts but eh

[viscid cargo]

so far its still fun

[lament mirage]

Too much space

[viscid cargo]

because its actually different each time

[lament mirage]

I got a lot tho just don’t feel like downloading it

[lament mirage]

That’s good at least

[viscid cargo]

and it isnt super easy nor super hard

[lament mirage]

Something fresh unlike 90% of the game

[viscid cargo]

i still havent got to the "final boss"

[lament mirage]

Heard it’s like resistance from td1

[viscid cargo]

not at all

[lament mirage]

Ah

[red tapir]

I saluted and my HUD never glitches out

are there any prerequisites to this thing

[sour sparrow]

Hmm, try looking directly at the grave crosses on the ground

[lament mirage]

Interesting they don’t have a pts chat

[sour sparrow]

Have you done the Agent Edwards side mission?

[red tapir]

I saluted 4 times, twice at monument and twice at the grave 😭

[earnest pelican]

would love to try out the pts but it's not in the app

[red tapir]

yeah

[sour sparrow]

Hmm, I'm unsure then, you're going to the correct gravesites yeah? I presume you're also following a guide on the web?

[red tapir]

a yt vid yah, this is like my 5th time restarted the game and all

[azure lintel]

Prolly just completed like 8 of my challenges for my sharpshooter 🤣

[thorny jetty]

where is the DARPA mission on the world map? I can't find it

[sturdy cape]

@red tapir do you have any directives on at the mo?

[red tapir]

yeah

[sturdy cape]

i read a reddit thread recently where someone said directives bork the hunter spawns

[red tapir]

would be stupid if thats the reason, pissing on their graves rn

[sturdy cape]

can't confirm personally but others commented it helped, might be something to try

[red tapir]

it bugged it out even more 😭 , it let me interact suddenly but nothing happens

[sturdy cape]

💀

[red tapir]

🫡 whoever these agents are, rest in piss

[pliant sentinel]

matchmaking in the summit yields no one
mm in the base, u get instant matched w someone

[low lily]

Well that nemesis doesn't duck around

[sturdy cape]

yeah it's pretty quacked

[rose glade]

Anyone got the bug on Descent where enemies do not come out the doors?

Any potential work arounds?

[low lily]

Yeah, have happened couple of times

[rose glade]

Any work arounds?

[low lily]

I don't think

[rose glade]

Only killing yourself right?

[tender notch]

Please use the #1098656025055342612 for PTS stuff.

[viscid cargo]

i dont have access to that

nvm i found it

[tender notch]

have to pick the role in #557396261662097409

[sour sparrow]

Hey Fam, how's it going? Big fan of your channel

[desert crystal]

cloneing the main game contents took the PTS download time down to half an hour

[vivid wigeon]

ytd we got a lots of info about the future of division, but i miss one specific thing. what about the specialization rework in div2? that project totally canceled or we gonna get that one too in year 5? any idea guys?

[violet spear]

Don't think it got brought up, but I think it was mentioned last month offhand that it was still in the works but the initial plans got scrapped.

[vivid wigeon]

yeah, well that's soo sad....

[tulip halo]

As a returning agent what are some helpful hints an tips

[broken plume]

Shoot the bad guys more than they shoot you

[sinful rose]

How do I download the pts ?

[tulip halo]

@broken plume lol that's good to know

Are crit builds still deadly

[broken plume]

Always

[vivid wigeon]

i think u have to forget about all the grind in the game, just enjoy the new stuff, loot, run and gun... 😄

[late finch]

How do you start the decent mode on PTS solo?

[plush blaze]

Is resident evil in like 4 days

[azure lintel]

Bro this fight is unfair af

Bro can spam the skills and u cant

[hearty dagger]

Is st.elmos engine out already?

[reef reef]

the PTS is up, it is not out in the live game yet

[hearty dagger]

When it's coming out?

[tender notch]

next season so about 6 weeks out

[pliant sentinel]

azur do u have the article about the twitch drops?

[rich plaza]

hey we are stock on NEMESIS how to trigger them ?

[azure lintel]

Man's raging at this mission

[rich plaza]

PTS ? any solution or just bugt out ?

[low lily]

It bugs out sometimes

[tender notch]

not off hand but its in #division-tweets @pliant sentinel

[azure lintel]

Bro how the god damm do u beat keegan

[low lily]

Be agressive

[azure lintel]

Tried that

He just SPAMS skills

[pale gulch]

Nvm lol

[azure lintel]

Finally did it

Just sat back and sniped the hell out of him 🤣

[pale gulch]

Good job!

[azure lintel]

So he locked his watch??

[sturdy cape]

finish the quest

[azure lintel]

I'm watching the cut scene

EYE PATCH IS ROUGE SINCE WHEN?!?!?

[tropic compass]

Rip lol i finally found the use of EAC

[azure grail]

new game mode is fun, it giving me underground from division 1 vives

to bad my game crashed after getting 60% of the nemesis bar filled

[low lily]

It definitely is good

[azure grail]

ill have to start all over 👁️ 👄 👁️

new exotic AR is nice too definitely will run it as my main if it doesnt get changed

[low lily]

The shock ammo one?

[azure grail]

yeah\

[azure lintel]

Okay now how so I get SHD levels

[sturdy cape]

just by earning xp

[azure grail]

my character appearance keep changing every time i load into a different zone on the pts

[low lily]

😸

[fiery cloud]

Hey Azurmen32,Aspect,7nvd

[potent condor]

Me

[lament mirage]

Well used too be resource convoys but they got nerfed/ fixed

So dz landmarks are nice or open world control points on heroic with some directives

Both require a decent build

[azure lintel]

Oof

[low lily]

Sadly yeah, you started after main xp farms

[azure lintel]

Oof

[lament mirage]

Lincoln memorial a good place too

Especially if it has the loot u looking for

Has 3 bosses at the end

[lethal shuttle]

Full auto exotic LVOA-C

[magic cypress]

I need help making a better build than the ones I currently have, I'm a returning player

is there a damge to elites stat in this game like d1 or no??

[lament mirage]

In the new season?

[lament mirage]

Nah

Only protection from em

[magic cypress]

oh

[lament mirage]

Post ur current build u running in #td2-build-advice

[azure lintel]

Man needs a build

[hidden topaz]

Pts how do I get it

[fiery cloud]

Hey S3raph1te

[ivory umbra]

should be in your games library and will have to download it

Hi yall I am a returning player and would love some advice on getting better gear. I am currently SHD 26 and i did my first countdown today and a matchmaking raid. I want to be able to survive more but also do more damage. I would love any advice anyone can give

[fiery cloud]

Do you run the basic red dps build

[ivory umbra]

um no i believe i was using Negotiaters for quite some time

[fiery cloud]

There you go

Once you get back in swing of things switch chest to glass cannon and backpack to the gift

[flat spade]

MEEEDIIIIC

[deep flare]

Did anyone get the twich drops except for the shirt ?

[azure lintel]

Triggered cause pc players get to play the PTS

[low lily]

I just have pc account to play pts and take part of tests 😸😸

[azure lintel]

But there progress saves though

[low lily]

Pts is just for testing, there is no progression for the actual account

[azure lintel]

I need a build so I can SHD fast xD

[low lily]

Check couple of videos and you good

Just don't check butcher ones because those are more clickbait videos, they don't actually work

[azure lintel]

The videos don't show where to get the gear though

[plain trail]

progress does not save fyi.

your account gets copied to PTS, but it doesnt copy back after

[flat spade]

Rip

Good to know though

[low lily]

Targeted loot in countdown or summit

[flat spade]

Summit is your best bet if you’re doing it solo

[azure lintel]

Never played summit 🤣

[low lily]

You can get carried in countdown tho

😸

[azure lintel]

Is summit like mortal kombat u fight npcs until boss

[flat spade]

Hidden loot rooms in summit tho :>

[violet spear]

Just don't go into Heroic if you're not geared and looking to get carried please.

[azure lintel]

@violet spear why?

Getting carried is fun lol

[violet spear]

Get carried in Challenging, Heroic Hunters will wipe you and your presence will scale the enemies up while you don't contribute if you're not geared.

[low lily]

Heroic is pretty risky even when you have a build, because if you have a lot weak people, you will die on a extraction and that's where majority of loot is

[azure lintel]

🤷🏻‍♂️

Might look for a clan who will take me under there wing 🤣

[violet spear]

Like I said, you can get carried in the other difficulties since a team of geared players can easily carry some weaker players in Challenging or below as long as the weaker players aren't messing up the run like by signaling the helicopter early.

[naive sand]

the new DLC is going to increase the lv cap? so all our lv 40 gears are useless?

💀

[violet spear]

Don't think there's any details on the new DLC that's a year away besides new zone and missions.

[azure lintel]

Anyone getting into Decent? Would love to hear about it

[violet spear]

People were streaming it earlier, probably still are.

[tough nacelle]

Wow descent is such a disappointment, might as just have called it the Summit hosted by Aperture science.

Just played it for 10 min, it's boring.

[tender wave]

it felt kind of slow and empty to me

[tough nacelle]

It's just mindless indoor maps, with boring content and same ads.

[azure lintel]

Yeah? The character build elements aren't any good?

[tough nacelle]

Basically the summit

It's very very slow and not really.

[azure lintel]

Bummer

[tough nacelle]

Seriously with all the cool ideas this community has come up with, and this is what they chose to do?

[low lily]

Problem with the game mode is that it's too easy and after like an hour or so it gets interesting. Same was with resistance beginning is just too easy

[azure lintel]

Wait theres more LTs I need to kill???

[tough nacelle]

Why not introduce a new skill? Like being able to control the robot dogs or tanks.

[low lily]

Sad is that it was meant more survival kind of experience at start

[tough nacelle]

I mean all this effort for nothing

[dire carbon]

Guys, anyone tried "Random encounter" in the new game mode (pts)? It doest seem to work

[thorn yacht]

Hello i have a problem with Division 2 and hopefully someone can help me with that. When i start the game it is always "grey" (no saturation, sorry for bad english) and if i move the window to my secons screen it has normal saturation. What can I do?

[thorny jetty]

is the calibration library shared across characters?

[errant cobalt]

Surivial is what we want. Lol But it seems that we'll get something similar to it with Heartland.

For some reason, I just get State of Decay Vibes when I hear Heartland...

[rough sleet]

the recal library is shared, yes

[low lily]

Heartlands looks pretty promising

[spare vale]

i just saw this but ubi doesnt really have any main games coming out besides ac

[errant cobalt]

We will see, don't think playtests are for console players unfortunately.

[spare vale]

i think u can register for them actually

for console

[errant cobalt]

You can, maybe I'm just super unlucky. Never got selected.

[low lily]

I don't remember, i have signed up but not sure if that was pc only

[graceful valve]

all those AC games coming out and avatar

[spare vale]

those ac games not coming for another few years

[steep musk]

heya need some help about PTS cant find it.. what section can I ask?

[spare vale]

division is a mainline franchise either way so keeping it alive is fine by me + idk abt avatar

[thorny jetty]

what does the sentence "Signature Weapons scale with tier" mean?

does it just mean that they behave like a level 40 weapon while my character is level 40?

[small siren]

world tier

[thorny jetty]

ah

[azure lintel]

What are these Hard tech wire stuff I keep getting them

[naive sand]

its for crafting hardwire gearset

[azure lintel]

Man has loads 🤣

[broken plume]

So how's Descent? I won't get home for another hour or two to try it myself

[left field]

it's alright so far, feels a bit soulless with a complete lack of music but that's my only complaint after 2 runs

[vivid wigeon]

and there is any rewards on completion? exo comp, gear or something?

[reef reef]

i'm fairly certain the lack of music will be changed in the full release, summit and countdown were also like that

[short mason]

Why cant i find matchmaking for countdown but my friends can

[vestal jungle]

where do we submit bug reports for pts, is it this server or the ubisoft one ?

[fair lake]

Just a reminder: twitch drops are live, don't forget 🙂

[tender valley]

people said no loot reward on descent, whats the benefit of playing it does it give xp?

[low lily]

It should

[tender wave]

currently it gives a bit of xp but nowhere near what you'll get anywhere else

rumour has it there will be more rewards implemented later

new exotic AR lags a bit on damage but the handling and crit stats are pretty damn good, might be worth running

[desert plume]

Guys when the stream is today?

[tender wave]

...no official stream today that I'm aware of, if you're looking for the cosmetic drops then any authorised streamer (one with twitch drops enabled) should do the job

[desert plume]

Yeah, I realised that man. Thanks for the answer

I am watching some guy right now

[lament mirage]

@tender notch why no pts chat

[tender wave]

you mean https://discord.com/channels/477210626742288384/1098546183753973820 ?

gotta have the role

[lament mirage]

Ah

[tender notch]

LAAAZZZY!

@lament mirage 😛

just didnt want to read the PTS post hu 😛

[lament mirage]

Si

[azure lintel]

has anyone done technician stage 5 recently at all?

[steep musk]

how do we find the PTS its not showing in connect

[tender wave]

Steam?

[steep musk]

nope

[sturdy cape]

should just be in your 'my games' section...unless ^^

[steep musk]

nope thats why Im here. game shows on connect zero pts shows. Ive never tried to before now

[sturdy cape]

not sure, for me it was just amongst the games i owned but didn't have installed

[mystic hare]

Just tried the PTS and almost the entire environment is black, I’m guessing this is a bug?

[tender wave]

I got a message on startup about the brightness setting needing adjustment, so it might be that

[torpid plume]

How do I get the new outfit what stream do I watch

[mystic hare]

I clicked on Depart in the Descent phase and the screen just glitched

Is it working for anyone else?

[sturdy cape]

it's working for most people it seems, myself included

[astral jacinth]

Who’s a Division 2 streamer that has drops enabled?

[sturdy cape]

just look at their stream titles

[astral jacinth]

Who do you recommend

[sturdy cape]

i'm not familiar with any of them, looks like most of the top 20 in the category have drops enabled tho

[astral jacinth]

Ok

[mystic hare]

Turns out I spawned there in a glitched state

Had to travel to DC and then go back

[timber fiber]

Anyone got any recommendations for best exotic farming methods

[torpid plume]

Countdown

[fallow idol]

LOL I was given “firewall gloves” which I already had instead of the correct Metalhead Twitch glove drop

[timber fiber]

Which difficulty I ain’t never done this shi before

[fallow idol]

Challenging

[thorn niche]

same

[fallow idol]

[thick moth]

If you reroll an exotic that has optimized attributes, do they remain or do they disappear? Assuming they disappear.

[inland mason]

Nope , all attributes get re rolled

[lament mirage]

I wisp u could speed up the cut the rope thingy

[cinder cloud]

looks like it's busted on level 7 if you're in a team

game seems to think a teammate is outside of the nemesis room 0.7km away >_>

happened to other people also

[azure lintel]

Is anyone having problems with countdown, like not starting or problems loading into it?

[south lintel]

can i get the dark winter by clearing landmarks in the DZ?

[azure lintel]

@modest sable

[celest fable]

i swear since 17.2 my game be dying nonstop, coming from someone who had 0-1 crashes a day

[shy quiver]

Is the "What happened in St Louis" a reference to The Division: Recruited??? Great way to get us to get the book

[sturdy cape]

you should ask to speak to their manager, go full karen

[azure lintel]

Won't do no good...

[sturdy cape]

well you're most of the way there, might as well go all in

[azure lintel]

Nah I ain't even scratched the surface lol, the important places you could share feedback is closed out.. wonder why lol

Can go to Twitter but yeah ain't worth it, I guess when I think about it, my Lil chest release wasn't either

But oh well, stick with a broken hotness until I get tired of it

Like everything else in this crazy world

[sturdy cape]

logic tends to go out the window when emotion takes over. games aren't worth getting angry over mate

[azure lintel]

Being Angry and Having or voicing opinion is two different things where I come from

[bitter wraith]

Was status effects ever a thing in division 1 when gettinv shot in pvp?

[sturdy cape]

they're 2 different things everywhere

[clear adder]

Hmm is there any way for steam users to access PTS division 2? I swear I already tried some ways and it didn't work

[sturdy cape]

from what i've heard, there isn't

[clear adder]

Ah so there's no way for steam users to get access to PTS? Aw...

[clever blade]

Get ran I guess?

[clear adder]

Get ran?

[thorny jetty]

can I use the mirror to change my character's appearance as often as I want to or is there a hard limit outside of the credit cost?

[clever blade]

Oh right, it's mostly PvP lingo from other games

I think the term I see here mostly is: "Skill Issue" ??

[sturdy cape]

there's no limit, just the cost each time

[celest marten]

Did anyone actually get their metal head gloves drop? All I got was a variant of the firewall gloves mod?

[sturdy cape]

steam users being unable to access the PTS is a skill issue? 🤔

[clever blade]

Indeed

[sturdy cape]

on the devs part?

[thorny jetty]

thank you

[sturdy cape]

since they're the ones that seemingly haven't enabled it?

[clever blade]

For choosing to play on steam instead of the ubi launcher

[sturdy cape]

🤦‍♂️

oh you're trolling, gotcha

[clever blade]

🥲

Tbh, its like playing an EA game on steam

[clear adder]

Truly skill issue fr

[clever blade]

It's pretty straight forward knowledge that the publishers launcher will either have more features or rewards for the people playing on their launcher

IE, no PTS for steam

[sturdy cape]

and yet i bought the game on epic and have access to the pts

[clever blade]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sturdy cape]

because i'm so skillful right?

[clear adder]

Mostly steam issue I guess

[clever blade]

I'm not an archaeologist man

I'm just a guy that lights things on fire for a living

[sturdy cape]

a troll, i noticed

[clever blade]

No, that part is actually very real

Had to drive from Michigan to Kentucky overnight to flare down a propane tank

[clear adder]

So in order to get PTS access then, I just have to go to the Kentucky overnight and flare a propane tank? Noted

[clever blade]

Shoot, maybe

Definitely worth a try man

[clear adder]

Such an effort just to get PTS access.

[clever blade]

I mean, do you want the access or not bro?

[clear adder]

Yeah

[clever blade]

Get to driving

[hallow rose]

is it normal for the game to freeze out of no where are require a task manger kill ?

[sturdy cape]

unfortunately, yeah. those crashes are kinda common on pc

[hallow rose]

they get frustrating sometimes

[clever blade]

Idk how common anymore tbh, I had issues with it and I capped my framerate and brought the graphics down very slightly

havent crashed since

[sturdy cape]

there's a lot of suggestions you'll come across for this. some of them will help some people, none of them solve it for everyone. devs need to fix it

[bitter wraith]

Sometomes i go in the dz to kill the idiot npcs that ruin fights

[clear adder]

It doesn't fully prevent the crashes, but it just decrease the chance of getting crashed constantly

[sturdy cape]

i've tried most of them, nothing changed 🤷‍♂️

[prisma grail]

Well..fired up the game for the first time in a month after reformatting my pc...game crashed within 5 minutes of playing-_-

[sturdy cape]

💀

[clear adder]

Some people said that this game got bipolar issues 🤣

[bitter wraith]

Why does my team think every team is cheating?

[prisma grail]

I really hope the next 2 division games run better than division 2

[bitter wraith]

Like yh its likely but dont be a skill issue

ironically is a skill issue

[limpid pond]

YIKES, it just took me 2.5 hours of PTS Caches and Weapons Caches to go from EXP 5 to EXP 23 LMAO

[wicked rock]

Anyone on ps with a summit checkpoint close to floor 40 ?

[frosty wadi]

Do we know or have a picture of what the new exotic ar officially looks like yet?

[fickle edge]

So how's descent for those in the PTS?

[sturdy cape]

what have firewalk made in the past? never heard of them

[viscid cargo]

very fun, quite broken

lots of softlocks, and if you fast travel to DC or log out theres no option to go back and continue, you get reset so u gotta run the entire run in 1 sitting

also bunch of broken talents, for example busy little bee never procs

[viscid cargo]

nothing, its a new studio

and thats a competitor because..?

[modern halo]

Yo how can I get my Expertise level up quicker? This thing takes waaayyy to long

[azure lintel]

Should I try raids and farm for eagle bearer or just kindly ask somebody to share it💀

[hybrid ore]

Raids will be faster overall, and the DZ has an incredibly low drop rate, from what we understand.

[azure lintel]

Are raids hard

Or are they destiny 2 style?

[hybrid ore]

They're shorter than d2, think about the length of SotP.

[azure lintel]

Oh ok

Puzzles?

[hybrid ore]

the Raids are more about teamwork and listening to the Leader, the DZ will be a lot simpler since it just takes time. Yes to puzzles, harder ones in Iron Horse.

@dim terrace What exactly does that have to do with div2?

[sturdy cape]

that's quite the wall of text lol

[azure lintel]

I oddly don’t trust that knowing “some” division players

Teamwork with some ppl is just a pain

[hybrid ore]

Put it this way, I've done them without a mic.
It's all about people knowing their job and doing it.

[azure lintel]

No mic?

Alr I’ll think abt it

[hybrid ore]

Can't use one.
If you want more detailed advice about it, I'd suggest asking down in #td2-raid-discussions, they're very happy to get more people into the Raiding circle.

[azure lintel]

[sturdy cape]

people that raid often tend to be team players, worth a try imo

[drowsy pewter]

Hi, what's the best way to level up expertise? Second character?

[daring bobcat]

anyway i kinda farm people to farm with im returning player buthard to group up

[neon falcon]

Just play and pick up everything as junk and do wony for scav points then donate printer filaments

Wony only if over 1500 or so

[drowsy pewter]

I'm exprtise 14 lvl 2400 is it worth leveling a character now?

[neon falcon]

Wdym leveling a character?

[clever blade]

^ ?

[mint roost]

I got a problem, i cant join to anyone and cant invite, it says local player cant join, does anyone know why?

[neon falcon]

If your 2.4k then make another character and run Wony

Skip straight to it

Then after you kill keener buy the thing at the crafting lady in the Whitehouse and spend your scav points

[sturdy cape]

tried re-logging?

[mint roost]

Alr tried everything, close the game, sign out, etc 😔

[broken plume]

I hope the new exotic AR gets a buff to the damage, cause man is it neato

Virtually no recoil, it's a laser beam, plus the effects when you hold down the trigger look nice... damage is just a little on the low side for me. Probably balancing for PvP but still

[sturdy cape]

what's it called? is there an easy way to get it?

[broken plume]

No idea how to get it, it randomly showed up in my inventory in the PTS

It's the St. Elmos something or another, had to scroll all the way down to the bottom of my weapons to find it

Mine also did not come with any talents

[sturdy cape]

🤔

interesting, i'm keen to check it out

[broken plume]

Also Descent is fun, no idea what or where to spend the NSA currency on but the 1st boss I killed got me the Bullet King talent so I just ran around with a shotgun blasting non-stop

[sturdy cape]

did you find the descent terminal/shop thingo east of the BOO?

[broken plume]

nope, just fast traveled there

[grave geyser]

Descent is pretty damn fun not gonna lie

[mystic notch]

Just started playin again after a year or 2

[daring zinc]

Same

[grave geyser]

Has anyone in the PTS gotten their hands on the saint elmos engine exotic, and if so is it based or cringe?

[hybrid ore]

That took a year off my life.

[midnight ravine]

https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/comments/12ujjil/new_capacitor_model_it_even_lights_up_when_firing/

thoughts on new capacitor? i preffer the old one... the lights are cool i guess

kinda heartbroken the old one can't be a skin...

[midnight ravine]

it's top tier dps near famas... but the sustain on it... gg famas lol

really good for striker id say.

[mystic notch]

Wow lol. Can tell my gear is way out dated

[midnight ravine]

if you care about sustain.

plus it's litteraly 100% accuracy or stability, no bullets failed.

[dim terrace]

@viscid cargo I deleted my original message as it may be viewed as trolling. The implications for div 2 is that competition is healthy in the industry and I would like to see Div 2 grow from strength to strength..Unfortunately there has been a pattern of hype with poor follow-up. Competition will hopefully make Div 2 "great again" !

[mystic notch]

Id love new friends to play div 2 with. I got a loooot of catching up to do

[torpid plume]

The new gear looks awesome so i'm sure it will be nerfed into the ground and made useless by the time it releases.

[midnight ravine]

whats the competition devision has?

no srsly, what is it?

A cover shooter, online game being updated, Closest i see is destiny 2... if you get insta killed on destiny 2, like you get on div 1 one, than they really are competing, for the most infuriating experience.

[mystic notch]

Destiny 2 servers completely crash every other day as of late loo

[queen patio]

so how divison 2 guys?

[mystic notch]

Be more fun if i had friends to play it with

[queen patio]

i would but i have a ps4 and a xbox series X

and i really really want to play on seires X

[mystic notch]

Is the division 2 not cross platform? Im on ps5

[queen patio]

i am not sure tel you the truth

[mystic notch]

Been so long idk either anymore lol. I stopped playin the game when my clan/friends all ghosted me because i couldnt play 24/7 every single day

[verbal mica]

no

[mystic notch]

That sucks

[queen patio]

damn

and i dont have a ps5 TT^TT

[mystic notch]

Ive had a ps5 for almost 2 years now i think? Still only got 3 games installed on it lol

[queen patio]

lol

[mystic notch]

Destiny 2, Horizon Zero Dawn Forbidden West and the division 2

[queen patio]

yeah i got black list and future soilder and adanced war fare 1 and 2

[umbral fern]

Dead Island 2, Miles Morales, Ragnarok, Days Gone, Uncharted, and Division 2

[queen patio]

nice

[mystic notch]

Im waitin for Diablo 4 and Jedi Survivor

[umbral fern]

I decided to play Division because I liked the first one and I needed a multiplayer game.

[queen patio]

yeah

[mystic notch]

The division 2 was super fun until all my friends gave me the spartan kick out of the group lol

[umbral fern]

That sucks, I usually just play with randoms but I keep my group open in case someone wants to join, usually they just leave immediately

[queen patio]

that sucks

[umbral fern]

Not sure what they are looking for

[queen patio]

i need to buy it for xbox XD

[mystic notch]

Im so far behind lol. I last played in season 4 according to the division

[umbral fern]

I just started the game less than 2 weeks ago

[queen patio]

[pastel stump]

That's all you cane do I your new is play the game

[azure lintel]

[azure lintel]

only way i enjoy games is to min max

[foggy cape]

ok then heroic control points with directives

[pastel stump]

Oh control points with directives on

Alrighty ill add you right now via xbox app

[queen patio]

i need to buy the game first tho lol

[pastel stump]

Lol

[neon falcon]

Make sure to get an edition with warlords

[queen patio]

but add me any way

[neon falcon]

That's where the bulk of the game is

[pastel stump]

What your tag bro and what the profile picture

[queen patio]

prepchimunk786 and its a guy with a mustache

[pastel stump]

Maybe when I get home cause the app for some reason saying you don't exist

Lol

[queen patio]

wired

[pastel stump]

Wait I think I got it wrong spelling

[hollow bay]

Me and a few buddies are trying to return to the game after leaving in Year 1. We are VERY lost and confused lol. Could someone give us a direction to kind of get a feel for the game again? Thanks in advance

[pastel stump]

What you lost on

[hollow bay]

Pretty much everything lol, We are just in a social hub and I pulled up the seasonal manhunts, but I guess we missed those for now. So we're not sure how to find content honestly

[pastel stump]

Well if you want to catch up go to Manny in the base of operations and he will give you the run down on the bounty targets

Then go to the castel settlement to start the manhunt

[hollow bay]

Alrgiht so the main base?

[pastel stump]

Main base yep

[hollow bay]

Thats in washington?

[pastel stump]

Yes

[hollow bay]

Okay that was our first confusion, we were in New York

[pastel stump]

You know room were we meet him In the begging of the game

[hollow bay]

There we go, proced to see him

[pastel stump]

Yep

[queen patio]

nice

[pastel stump]

Then your gonna fast travel to the castel settlement to start the manhunt

[hollow bay]

Where is teh castle?

That one doesnt sound familier

[naive sand]

theres only 1 castle on the map

[limpid pond]

SSE of the Whitehouse

[hollow bay]

Found It

[pastel stump]

You be looking for a lady standing next to a computer and that's the start

[hollow bay]

It crashed so now Im rebooting lol

[naive sand]

can we do something about the CD bug

[limpid pond]

Castle is messed up in PTS though, it looks WEIRD

[hollow bay]

Well the castle settlement is empty and theres dead bodies everywhere and no one to talk to lol

[limpid pond]

sure about that?

[pastel stump]

Really cause for everyone else it's being rebuilt

[hollow bay]

After my DC my friend got lead and the Castle had dead bodies and what looked like a bomb in the fields lol

so we're loading back onto my game to see if something got screwed up

[limpid pond]

Castle is a global thing now, no one should be seeing it dead and in its original state.

[hollow bay]

Okay mines being rebuilt

Apparently his was destroyed lol

[pastel stump]

Then play on your server then

[surreal orbit]

Has he completed the warlords expansion? If not his will be destroyed. If he has then he just needs to start the manhunt on his map…

[queen patio]

yep

[pastel stump]

If not then he gotta finish that

[hollow bay]

Where can we see Story missions and such? So he can see what hes on

[pastel stump]

If he has not finished the new york story line it would be his current manhunt then

[surreal orbit]

Not that difficult, did he kill keener and get his shd watch?

[surreal orbit]

If he hasn’t finished, he’s still in NYC…. Can’t go back to DC till you kill keener…

[calm elm]

yo if we have the Ultimate edition do we also get the new story Dlc when it comes out?
or do we need to also buy it as well?? just asking

[hollow bay]

He has the seasons open and the main story is just Manning National Zoo and Camp White Oak

Hes going back to manning in his game solo to see if it proc's it properly

[surreal orbit]

He needs to talk to someone at the White House. Maybe Manny upstairs or Kelso downstairs. Then go to the castle settlement

[queen patio]

i need to get this game lol

[pastel stump]

Bro

Lol

He has to talk to Manny

[hollow bay]

Thats what it was, it didnt give him progress in my game

[surreal orbit]

Yeah, have him go upstairs at the White House and talk to Manny

[hollow bay]

So hes doing it alone now, I cant find the lady in the Castle though

[naive sand]

after u talk to manny then the side mission in castle should show up

[pastel stump]

A way point should lead you to her

[dim terrace]

@mystic notch I would be happy to play with you. On Oceanea server. Usually play weekends for 1 to 2 hours ( unless I have other commitments). Weekday evenings from 6pm to about 7pm). I don't do Dark Zones or Raids (been there done that)and don't use a mike. Cheers

[hollow bay]

Alright so fun development. It reset my progress so Im back at Manny lol

[pastel stump]

Wow

[dim terrace]

Am in game right now if any agent is desperate for support (Don't do Dark Zones, Countdown or Raids. Mikeless.

[hollow bay]

Not really sure what to do. I got the manny cutscene, no Side Mission. But I ran to the woman that my friend went to start the proper thing you recommended @pastel stump but she wont talk to me. Guess I'll try a reboot or something

I cant even fast travel to Castle, just doesnt work, need to go next to it

[pastel stump]

That's where I don't know then bro

[hollow bay]

Ya I figured its some kind of a bug on my end

[pastel stump]

If I was on pc I would be happy to try to help out

But you got the cut scene right if you need to just manually go to the settlement

Try that

[hollow bay]

Ya Im standing in front of the woman

Its the larger black woman right? With a laptop in front of her?

[pastel stump]

Yeah did she say anything and did you I tract with the computer

*interact

[hollow bay]

Nothing to interact with, and she didnt say anything

[pastel stump]

But you got the cut scene of the targets

[hollow bay]

Ya at manny's door

[pastel stump]

Weird

Go to your manhunt tab in your map

[queen patio]

huh

[hollow bay]

Oh it has a reset, I'll try that

[pastel stump]

Ok

[hollow bay]

that worked

Manny gave the missiona dn now I have the side mission

[queen patio]

cool

[pastel stump]

Nice

[flat ivy]

Hey how do i farm steel

[pastel stump]

Now do what I said previously and you should be good to go

[flat ivy]

That 1 material is so hard to come by

[pastel stump]

Level up and use the level up points in your watch to get steel

[hollow bay]

Got it!

[flat ivy]

Ok thanks alot

[pastel stump]

@hollow bay nice bro enjoy your manhunt

[flat ivy]

Once i get to 1 k and work on other characters it shout get better

[pastel stump]

What level are you on your watch

[flat ivy]

488

[hollow bay]

So the only question I have no is, THeres a lot of matchmade options. What would progress us? I remembe hearing about the summit, thats a 100 floor climb? I assume raid queueing is a no go at our levels (60 Watch Level) and Countdown is "Toxic PVE"? According to youtube?

Just trying to understand the Division play game loop I guess at this point

[pastel stump]

@flat ivy that would explain it but yeah go through what it tells you and when it get to materials just use the point for steel

[flat ivy]

Ok

[surreal orbit]

Go to inventory, then resources, and highlight the material your after. It will tell you which faction hordes that material, then farm activities with that faction.

[flat ivy]

Sweet ty

Ooooo ok buddha

[pastel stump]

Or just open every bag you find laying in the open world

[queen patio]

cool

[flat ivy]

Ok

[pastel stump]

Bag, create whatever

[surreal orbit]

Don’t use your watch point for basic materials, there are more important things to use those for like shd calibrations, etc., and the basic materials are easy to farm….

[flat ivy]

So dont waste points on steel?

[surreal orbit]

Correct

[flat ivy]

Ok

[surreal orbit]

At your level watch points are valuable and need to be used for things that aren’t easy to farm….

[pastel stump]

Is the weekly exotic cache project worth it anymore to do beside the xp my box is so full of exotic weapon and I'm full of exotic materials

[surreal orbit]

Then your not working on expertise…. Takes a lot of exotic components to buff items to expertise 22

[limber sinew]

Hoppin back on the game, anyone trying to play?

[flat ivy]

Yup

[pastel stump]

Bro I'm expertise level 3 I've just been farming for materials

[surreal orbit]

And your watch level?

[pastel stump]

3521

[flat ivy]

488

[toxic flume]

If you have a extra character slot. Make a agent, speed run wony redeem watch levels. And farm countdown and donate the gear/weapons

[surreal orbit]

Damn, run an alt through wony and use the watch points to push up your expertise… I got to expertise 22 in like a week and a half….

[flat ivy]

Expertise raises my shd fast ?

[surreal orbit]

Buy mods and deconstruct to donate printer filament to up the proficiency on everything

[surreal orbit]

No

[pastel stump]

Bro I'm bout out of e credits lol

[toxic flume]

You use your SHD points to raise proficiency for expertise

[flat ivy]

Im a returning player so i dont understand most stuff like that

[surreal orbit]

50 watch points = 1 million credits…..

[flat ivy]

Oooo to get credits

[limber sinew]

Same here. Trying to get back in

[surreal orbit]

NOT YOU

[toxic flume]

Credits don’t transfer over to other characters. Only rss

[surreal orbit]

You level is too low

[pastel stump]

Well if I had the points

[surreal orbit]

But expertise level does

[elfin hazel]

if you do WONY again you'll get 2721 scav points that you can use on credits

[toxic flume]

That too… but about credits lol…

[surreal orbit]

Dude? Run an alt through wony 🤦‍♂️

[surreal orbit]

Use credits on one character to increase expertise on all characters

[pastel stump]

Hmm

[toxic flume]

Huh? credits do that? Like as in money credits? E credits?

[elfin hazel]

you get credits to buy mods which you deconstruct to donate to expertise

[surreal orbit]

PS I’m talking to a guy with shd level of 3500+

[pastel stump]

If wony wasn't a pain to do I would do it but I'm not about that life just sayin

[toxic flume]

Who’s that?

[toxic flume]

Then just farm Countdowns, I made it to expertise 18 in 5 days

[surreal orbit]

Takes 1 to 4 hours, depends on if you get help from level 40 players

[elfin hazel]

if you have a friend or someone from #lfg-xbox you could do it in like 3 hours

[surreal orbit]

Just do it on the side

[surreal orbit]

What like 8 hours a day…. lol

[pastel stump]

Probably something to do if I'm not doing anything

[toxic flume]

Grind is a grind, Atleast I’m not relying on wony solo the whole time over and over again.

[surreal orbit]

To each his own

[toxic flume]

Yes I’m a solo player, I have friends but not to carry me or farm wony over and over again. Unlike some people

[pastel stump]

That's what I'm saying

[elfin hazel]

you always have the LFG channels

[pastel stump]

None of my friends want to do that again and again

[toxic flume]

Just farm countdowns and donate, if that is fully proficient. Just dismantle it.

[surreal orbit]

Just call for backup

[elfin hazel]

that too

[pastel stump]

Heck even my main character doesn't have all the exotics missing one

[toxic flume]

I don’t have the attention span for wony grind anyways. Seems boring than farming countdowns

[pastel stump]

Neither do i

[toxic flume]

Oof 😥, I have every single one of them

[pastel stump]

Missing the reggulus

[toxic flume]

I’m sorry the wony farm isn’t for everyone ok 👌

[surreal orbit]

One mission over and over and you think running the whole expansion would be boring…. Lmao! You do you bro…. Peace

[toxic flume]

Love you 😘

[frosty wadi]

I just absolutely need this new lvoa exotic, its most likely gonna get nerfed but hopefully not towards its handling or range

[pastel stump]

The only thing I grind these days is control points

[toxic flume]

I do random missions or countdowns. I currently have 10k countdown credits at the vendor

[pastel stump]

Damn yeah no

[flat ivy]

Ok steel coming in nicely from the yellow chest in control points that have truesons

Thanks alot guys

[pastel stump]

@flat ivy no problem

[toxic flume]

I can spend them. Just no need rn. Waiting for Y5 to drop to spend those credits. Open world is boring unless it’s DZ, or manhunts.

[pastel stump]

I don't dz either after my build got nerfed it now for pve

[toxic flume]

DZ is the fastest level grind in the game currently. Just high Risk of dying due to rouges

[pastel stump]

I run smg with matador and hunter killer

[hybrid ore]

Those darn reds, you gotta watch out for them.

[toxic flume]

Grants a level or very close to a level when they die lol

I was in a sever few weeks ago and the whole sever was taking turns going rouges. Groups of 4 for shd level grind

[red tapir]

How much cred do u get per countdown

[toxic flume]

I gained 100 very quickly in that sever

[toxic flume]

I don’t remember, prob abt 500-700ish with extraction bonus

[red tapir]

Damn i should try it out

[hollow bay]

@pastel stump Just wanted to thank you, we're having a blast running these missions now

[toxic flume]

About 2-3 runs with extractions is enough for a exotic chest. Might be 4. Correct me if I’m wrong

[pastel stump]

@hollow bay no problem bro

[toxic flume]

I’m just saving countdown credits because I have all the gear that I want in the game for builds. And no need to use them. Y5 is new stuff like gearsets and brand sets. I can spend them away for rolls for builds.

[pastel stump]

For me it just came to a point to I just play to play

[azure lintel]

So I have question.. @keen sundial

[toxic flume]

Same tbh. Just wanna do something to keep me more occupied doing different things more than one thing for hours.

[azure lintel]

Are your Countdown runs actually payable?

[toxic flume]

Yesterday, it was fine for me… idk about other agents.

[azure lintel]

Cause most the time, I spend my time Hitting log out, and logging back in to maybe get 2 runs

[obtuse sequoia]

damn I crashed 2 times in a row

[pastel stump]

Wow

[obtuse sequoia]

I was doing so good in conflict until I crashed the second time

[toxic flume]

Life of div2 on PC

[obtuse sequoia]

is it only happening in PC and not console?

[pastel stump]

I heard pc was having problems with some things

[toxic flume]

It’s prob rare on consoles than pc

[azure lintel]

I have crashed once of ps, but mine mostly just hardly ever connects

And when it does, people are usually just quiting out

[toxic flume]

Yea… crashes happened more when they added the optimization bench in div2.

[obtuse sequoia]

I felt like quitting after the second time but imma give it a 3rd chance

[pastel stump]

That's nutty

[obtuse sequoia]

it’s just annoying to lose a good server every hour

[toxic flume]

One time in a raid, I crashed at the first boss. Raid team completed it. And all other people crashed. They joined up on me. They were laughing at me because I crashed. Karma strikes back at them.

[obsidian hatch]

yo you guys saw the new capacitor model on PTS

[pastel stump]

I feel that though

[obsidian hatch]

it looks pretty sick

[obtuse sequoia]

I’m not a fan of PVE but every once in a while I go into the DZ and fight off players until I randomly crash every minute

[toxic flume]

Model? I’m getting on tmw. I’m at work kekw

[azure lintel]

I legit really like the whole aspect of the division, I hate I came so late to the game, I'm level 267 currently, and today I just started doing expertise.

I hit that level from coming back at 67 in about 2 in a half weeks

[obsidian hatch]

https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/comments/12ujjil/new_capacitor_model_it_even_lights_up_when_firing/

[obtuse sequoia]

where did you see it?

[azure lintel]

Met some cool people to join in a few raids, but the server is what's killing it

[obsidian hatch]

it's on PTS but someone on reddit already posted it. Link above

I hope they do the same to Dread Edict, Blue Screen

[obtuse sequoia]

oh wow they basically remodeled it

[obsidian hatch]

this looks really slick

[obtuse sequoia]

looks dope

on skill builds?

[obsidian hatch]

the new exotic sniper rifle also looks really good. It seems like they got a new guy on designing guns or sth

its talent is lackluster but its look is phenomenal

[toxic flume]

The funny part. When div2 was fixing and rebuilding the system. When the game was at its worst state. I almost never crashed. Surprisingly I barely crashed in general. It’s just crashes at the worst of all timings. Even tho it’s rare asf for me.

[obtuse sequoia]

well they hired someone better

[obsidian hatch]

fr

pay him to remodel the TKB and the GR9 also

[obtuse sequoia]

they should remodel the eagle bearer into something better haha

[toxic flume]

Buff EB first lol

[obsidian hatch]

I think those exotics look find. It's the Capacitor and later ones that looks like shite

[obtuse sequoia]

get rid of tenacity

[azure lintel]

Ravenous as well

[obsidian hatch]

nah Ravenous is strong af

[toxic flume]

Tenacity is the best. That will be a huge nerf for EB. It won’t be EB anymore at that point.

[obsidian hatch]

Tenacity is what make it unique so

[obtuse sequoia]

the downside about EB is that I die instantly when I don’t hit those 3 targets

[obsidian hatch]

ye you gotta bum rush people with it

[azure lintel]

Better than M1 CQB?

[obtuse sequoia]

I ditched EB and using regulus instead 😂

[obsidian hatch]

can an M1 CQB kill a doggo in 6 shots?

[toxic flume]

Run a all red dps build and be aware of your surroundings

[obsidian hatch]

or can it destroy a heavy within 10?

[azure lintel]

Hmn ima have to try this lol

[obsidian hatch]

M1 CQB is strong but the Rav can do some crazy stuff that other Rifles can't

[obtuse sequoia]

I never even crashed when I first got it and now this year I’m getting weird crashes and it’s not only me whose getting them

[obsidian hatch]

A lot of this weird reception the Rav got is mostly from those who never use it

I use it a lot and it's one of the best exotics out there

Hard to use but that's the risk vs reward

[toxic flume]

Crashes is very known to us PC players. Just play, or play later basically

[azure lintel]

I like them both, but to me the m1 hit pretty hard, on elites and 🐕

[obtuse sequoia]

I don’t run DPS mostly like 5 blues and 2 reds for PVP mostly and yeah I can do pretty well with EB despite me making poor choices sometimes accidentally swapping EB and instantly dying lol

[toxic flume]

Fav is the best lowkey for dps and dog/heavy clearing

[obsidian hatch]

M1 takes way too long to fight Doggos, heavies, hunters and rogues

M1 CQB is better against the rift rafts

while Rav is better for the big guys

they both have their places so why not have both on you

[obtuse sequoia]

Majority of you guys are PVE focused?

[obsidian hatch]

ye

If I want pvp I go for BF lol

[toxic flume]

I have a full build just for rav with 40% explosive dmg, max rav offensive stacks I do about 1.7-2 mil dmg on explosive procs

[gilded perch]

5 blue? 2 red? memento and ninja backpack is not good in pvp

[azure lintel]

Ima give it another go bro, I mean you probably right, most my time has been spent with m1, so it could be my lack of use, credit where credit due, ima definitely find out

[obtuse sequoia]

well I have respect with PVE players because they help me with raids for exotics lol

[dry shard]

are exotics the meta weapons in the game? Just got the ultimate edition div 2 and looking to dive into the game again

[obsidian hatch]

GCRock helped me get the Eagle Bearer so props to him

[toxic flume]

Try using strikers with momento.

[hybrid ore]

Exotics/Gearsets/Brandsets are all about the same, depends on your setup.

[obsidian hatch]

Striker back is too good for sth else imo

[obtuse sequoia]

I don’t run momento just all headshot with the providence backpack with concussion and unbreakable

[obsidian hatch]

the chest however is overkill for solo or 2 man group

so I run with Forcus or Obli

[toxic flume]

That too, but solo pve momento is crazy with strikers

[obtuse sequoia]

yeah he also helped me with the EB and for the regulus I played with randoms lol

[toxic flume]

Decent in group play

[obsidian hatch]

Hard to not take the free 3% Armor Regen

also you get 60% weapon damage back so ya

[dry shard]

ok, so weapons = exotic, armor = gear/brand sets. Got it. Thanks a bunch

[obsidian hatch]

Memento is pretty much BIS for most builds in solo

[obtuse sequoia]

what’s so special about the ninja bike backpack?

[toxic flume]

Exotics can be gear or weapon. Not always needed.

[hybrid ore]

Same rule for guns and gear both. They're all even as long as it's the top tier.
gold/exotic for guns, brand/gear/exotic for gear.

[obtuse sequoia]

it’s like an old pack back in division 1 and they put it in division 2

[obsidian hatch]

it gives you a free brand or gear bonus

[obtuse sequoia]

never used it but sounds cool

[obsidian hatch]

so for example, if you use 1 piece Prov which normally give you only 10% HSD

but if you have Ninja on you, it will also give you 15% Crit Damage without using the 2nd piece

same thing apply to Gear Sets

[hybrid ore]

Kinda.
what Ninjabike does in div2, is give you the next bonus in all equipped gear.
e.g. 1 piece of prov, 1 piece of sokolov, 1 piece of belstone. They'd all be counted as 2pc's.

[toxic flume]

NinjaBP is nasty with 4 pc umbra and 2 pc strikers in PvP with Famas or EB.

[dry shard]

thanks for the tip!

[obtuse sequoia]

Interesting

[obsidian hatch]

I use Ninja with Hotshot piece for all of my rifle build rn

that 30% Weapon Handling is way too good to pass up

[dry shard]

Thanks for the detailed info dude. This is going to set me up for the entire game

[hybrid ore]

It's a worthless exotic most of the time, as you can just make stronger builds without it.

[obtuse sequoia]

pretty good but I don’t they it’ll even work for PVP lol it’s probably meant for PVE

[obsidian hatch]

combine that with 20% Handling you get from the free 2nd piece of rifle brand, it turns every rifle into a laser

I can actually use weird guns like the ACR SS, LWM4 and smash contents

[obtuse sequoia]

that’s cool

[potent condor]

Just use ravenous

[obsidian hatch]

Or have fun trying different stuff

instead of sticking to one thing over and over

[toxic flume]

Exotics, Think of destiny 2. You can only have one exotic weapon and one arm piece at a time. Set of div1 where you can run full build of exotics at once.

[obtuse sequoia]

regulus on top no cap 🔥 💯

[obsidian hatch]

Regulus is just disgusting to use lol

but rn I have the bee on me on most builds

[obtuse sequoia]

it’s disgusting when you have 22% extra damage on it

[obsidian hatch]

free damage so why not

[obtuse sequoia]

expertise

[obsidian hatch]

every guns is disgusting when you get to max expertise

[obtuse sequoia]

yeah

[obsidian hatch]

except for the MK20 and the G28

[azure lintel]

Is there something I'm doing wrong to find the regulus, my cp are at lvl 4 on heroic and I've been through several outcast

[obsidian hatch]

those things will forever be trash tier unless the devs fix its handling

[azure lintel]

I have everything but that darn 686 replica

Can't even craft it

[potent condor]

You craft it

[obtuse sequoia]

do you have the replica on the crafting table?

[potent condor]

From the table

[azure lintel]

I tryed, it's locked

[potent condor]

Then you have to unlock the blueprint

[toxic flume]

You need the parts and blueprint.

[potent condor]

Rng time it is

[obtuse sequoia]

RNG sucks

u should try doing countdown and farm for pistol only

[toxic flume]

RNG exist in looter shooter games

[potent condor]

You can’t get a replica police magnum from countdown or open world

🤣

[toxic flume]

Isn’t regulus Iron Horse raid only?

[obtuse sequoia]

nahhhh

[azure lintel]

In the description it says all Summit or control points lol 3, or buy from vendor... my points are level 4, I have required pieces but the 686 replica

[potent condor]

You get the projects for regulus from iron horse

And the components

[open prawn]

this my favorite build so far https://gyazo.com/548d15bfbddfd88c52ce724e49c651e0

[obtuse sequoia]

I got the magnum on open worlds tho

[potent condor]

Regular magnum

[obtuse sequoia]

yeah u can also craft that

[potent condor]

Not magnum replica

[obtuse sequoia]

oh

[toxic flume]

That’s what I thought.

[potent condor]

That’s like police m4 replica

[toxic flume]

Sorry I have every exotic in the game. Been ages to remember how to get them for years now.

[potent condor]

Can only be crafted

[toxic flume]

Every replica is only craftable.

[obtuse sequoia]

I don’t remember how I got the regulus lol

[azure lintel]

Then they messed up there description

[potent condor]

It used to require a regular magnum

Then they made it replica

[azure lintel]

I have all the requirements but that replica

[potent condor]

No one could craft regulus for w while now it’s fixed

[azure lintel]

Smh

[potent condor]

Just farm control points you’ll eventually get the blueprint

[obtuse sequoia]

oh yeah

[obsidian hatch]

ok the new exotic AR is pretty disgusting

it looks quack but the stats and the talents are sth else

[lusty sand]

hey is there any website to look for builds or something

[open prawn]

https://imgur.com/a/JdNapZC

[neon falcon]

Pinned in build advice

[lusty sand]

thanks

[toxic flume]

It’s gonna be nasty in PvP/DZ for sure. Just saw a vid on it

[open prawn]

gonna get crazy rebalance fs

[neon falcon]

EB should get a rebalance too, just in the other direction

[frosty wadi]

I hope the mew exotic will at least be good for pve after tweaks and balancing

[neon falcon]

Yeah

Don't want a repeat of EB

Strong in pve, op in pvp, then made bad in pve and ok in pvp

And the p416 went down with it

[frosty wadi]

I need it to remain at least good in pve

I love the Lvoa-c in general and can finally use it in game without being forced into having to use a rifle

[neon falcon]

The EB nerf should've just been in pvp

Crazy how the can't have separate balance despite already having seperate balance

I feel like the spammy rifles fire too slow, ravenous especially

[faint arrow]

The sacrum u mean? Yeah its hella ass

[neon falcon]

He's talking about the one in the pts

It's a LVOA-C but it's full auto

[frosty wadi]

Yea

I love the Lvoa-c

I just hope it remains semi useable
