How

[stuck musk]

u know how when some one puts on cologne or perfume, they usually apply just a small amount so it aint too strong?

the person near me didnt get the memo

[pastel stump]

Oh god

Let me pour the whole damn bottle on myself

[stuck musk]

my mask did not help

[pastel stump]

Let they world smell my presence

[stuck musk]

i managed to escape the bus, but now since we on the same platform, the wind is carrying it over

literally need research lab grade masks

[pastel stump]

Lol

But anyways when I'm in a group with my now former clan mates I get scolded at for being behind the enemy

[stuck musk]

lmao

but the best place to be is behind enemies

cos they aint looking at u

[pastel stump]

I find my way behind them I like to try to sneak past them in control points

And better cover

They be like why you in there face all the time I say cause it's how this build works

[stuck musk]

if ur team is going thru shit smoothly i dont see why they should complain

[pastel stump]

Oh and they hate it when I don't call in reinforcements right away

[stuck musk]

a dude i play with uses FI and he is very aggressive, but i trust him so we cool

[stuck musk]

why? calling in reinforcements immediately will spawn enemies after clearing CP so no time for any preparations

[pastel stump]

Right

We get that break in between to collect medkits, ammo, loot

[stuck musk]

yea

[pastel stump]

They hate it to me it's more fun that way

[stuck musk]

lol

[pastel stump]

I like to take my time with control points but not missions I run through those

[stuck musk]

yea i do the same

[pastel stump]

Speed running oh the fun

[stuck musk]

https://tenor.com/view/predator-handshake-arnold-schwarzenegger-carl-weathers-gif-17765053

sad we on diff platforms lol

[pastel stump]

But it's funny when you look at the leader board for the time trial you can see who's hacking

Right

Like there's no way you just did this mission in just over a minute

[stuck musk]

i like how ubi doesnt ban those people when its so clear they hacking

[stuck musk]

bruh it takes u at least 3 just to run around

[pastel stump]

It's hilarious be like yep you just exposed yourself dummy how do you feel about that

I can do district union in over 9 minutes solo

[stuck musk]

mfs took speed running to a whole new level

their agents on crack frfr

[pastel stump]

The second time was over 10 only because the enemy set me on fire while low health so I died then my reviver hive glitched

Their agents do lines of crack on the daily

[stuck musk]

f

[pastel stump]

Holy cow it's 5:06 in the morning here oh well

[stuck musk]

bruh

sleep = negligible

u should go to sleep tho

that aint healthy

[pastel stump]

True but it's not compared to what I did last time me and another xbox friend stayed up for 48hrs straight one time

I couldn't sleep I had covid so I was not comfortable at the slightest

[stuck musk]

ur inhuman, i cant even do 24hrs

[pastel stump]

Bro coughing up a lung isn't fun

[stuck musk]

im lucky i didnt get that type of covid

[pastel stump]

Pneumonia isn't fun at all

I don't know how I fell asleep the third day it was more discomfort

It was probably from all the coughing

[stuck musk]

thats tough

[pastel stump]

Yeah anyways I'm head off nice talking to ya

[stuck musk]

👍

[tropic compass]

What dark zone is occupied?

[stuck musk]

east

[fallow idol]

Again?

Or it hasn’t reset

[stuck musk]

again

[azure lintel]

DID THE LOWERED THE DMG IN PISTOLS ?

[fallow idol]

Yes

And they lowered xp

[rich shadow]

What's happened to pistol damage?

[fast marten]

This is trash

I was scammed, please raise pistol damage

[azure lintel]

they lowered it a lot

[fast marten]

WHYYY

[azure lintel]

i am not sure i just find it out while i was playing

[fast marten]

Pistols will never be used now

Thanks Ubisoft

[azure lintel]

yea

Is it still possible to get "The Sleigher" smg?

[heavy prism]

Source

[azure lintel]

nah i just find it out bc i was doing 1.2m and now i am doing 600k with same build

[heavy prism]

....

Source

[sand field]

Hol up

Let me find my 93r

Nope same damage

[heavy prism]

Imagine 3 people at once spreading misinfo

[onyx furnace]

to get the regulus can i do the raid on one toon transfer mats than get the exotic parts on a second in the same week?

[smoky stag]

you all probably just forgot ge was on

[tender wave]

Hollywood event always leads to people claiming damage has been nerfed.

[golden otter]

Where do I purchase exotic caches

[rich shadow]

The whole game got pistol. Damage lowered?

[azure lintel]

There is several ways. There is the countdown vendor at BOO, the seasons vendor

[lone valve]

After 2 years
The Claire jacket is finally mine 😌 😌 😌

[rough sleet]

\o/

[frozen meadow]

regulus lol

people are using sidearms as replacements for primaries

i do wish they nerf sidearms

[winter oar]

Hello, does anyone have any advice on how to acquire the Waveform Holster quickly? I recently returned to playing TD2. Thank you.

[lament mirage]

Target loot farm holster

Probably summit on legendary/ heroic with a good amount of directives

Goes for most stuff

Excluding dz and raid ( regulus) exclusives

[winter oar]

kk ty

[lament mirage]

Countdown also good

But imo it’s more for farming non exotics stuff

[winter oar]

kk, i'll try summit in hero then

[lament mirage]

Yep just do 3-5+ , set the target loot to holsters n she’ll drop

[azure lintel]

I disagree. I've received plenty of exotics in summit. Depends on targeted loot

[lone valve]

I got a capacitor from 3 floors on normal summit like 1 day ago
Was just doing it for the daily resident evil project

[azure lintel]

Just target loot on countdown holster if you can, and ask others if they can share one with you if they get one at the start. Especially good if with friends/clan or group organised from here

[fallow idol]

Sooo daily STARS projects still not giving rewards once completed I see…

[lament mirage]

Was referring to countdown

[lament mirage]

Well no patch / fix has been out addressing it so

[fallow idol]

Not surprised because… massive.

Is it called massive because there’s massive amounts of bugs and broken aspects of their games?

[azure lintel]

Did anyone mention the credits you can put towards Exotic countdown caches? I farm many of my reds that way

[tranquil rose]

totally new here so maybe i missed something but why does the game keep making me play the eleanor sawyer mission, it even says replay on it. it's the only active mission i've done it 3 times now

[azure lintel]

Is this the very first mission at the hotel, or do you mean the invaded version?

When you pick targeted loot at summit does this work the same as countdown in that the targeted loot or exotics can drop on any floor from hostile or just on boss floors?

I was playing countdown earlier with shotguns as targeted loot and got the booody pestilence lmg like wtf

[fallow idol]

Is it me or did they stealth increase the amount of time for extraction choppers in the Dz?

[verbal mica]

if u do cd and earn credits in group can u drop whats in the cache or no?

( exotic cache )

[frozen meadow]

no

[verbal mica]

ok thank you

[lament mirage]

This

3-5 directives is kinda good for summit farming as it’s the same as open world tho people do do 8-10 directives but the difference ain’t that much and the clearing time gets longer the more directives u add

Especially if ur inexperienced

[tranquil rose]

very beginning

[lament mirage]

N the faster u can clear the floors or any content the better when it comes to farming as enemies are dying faster and dropping loot quicker

[azure lintel]

If the map says replay, you should be covered, I know on my map all the time mission icons will appear blue/filled as in they are uncompleted but they are. Try going to Sawyer to trigger the next cutscene, hopefully she will unlock the next four story missions like usual

[tranquil rose]

thanks so much

oh and descent mode the rogue-like mode how do you access that?

[azure lintel]

If the test period is over, you can't right now

[tranquil rose]

that sucks was really looking forward to that mode

guess ill just keep plugging along, thanks @azure lintel

[azure lintel]

Yeah I didn't get to try it either, but at least when year 5 hits we will have 100% access 🙂 no problem at all

[lament mirage]

Both

[tranquil rose]

year 5? sorry i just downloaded yesterday total newb

[lament mirage]

Along with difficulty

[azure lintel]

The upcoming 5th year of the game (as a live service shooter)

[lament mirage]

Also if struggle solo? Try match matching

People do heroic summit

Also if solo try something like HF / HB

Nego is also good for higher kpm

But sucks for single target

[bitter wraith]

Unbreakable is useless in pvp

[frozen meadow]

It'd be better if the delay of it proccing was lower

[verbal mica]

literally. try obliterate if u run crits . unbreakable is to give you one last chance for the 4-5 shots u missed . u end up always getn toasted

[bitter wraith]

For that I'd have to also change my cores to blue (at least 2 of them)

[verbal mica]

for dz if u not exp 21 or with atleast 1-2 ppl u can forget about being less than 1.9 armor so all blue then all red then MAYBE youl make it out. 1.5 no less fr it sucks

between that and when you doing landmarks. see a player ignore them and they join the landmark wait till u turn ur back or an npc weakens u even tho u showed no interest in them they will kill u soon as u turn u back again

[celest fable]

at this point illd kill any player on sight lol

[verbal mica]

💯

because eb and rav. and i already have both :/ i just legit enjoy doing landmarks always have. nice exp and field data and switch it up from countdown or old missions

basically if u around players deconstruct EVERYTHING. and pretend u sweating lol waste their time like u have something of value

carry 1 dz resource around

farm for the eb just to end up using the famas or kingbreaker lol

[bitter wraith]

This is why I usually have a shotgun

Someone actually tried killing me thinking I was afk...it didn't end well for them

[reef reef]

@celest fable Use the LFG chats. I'm not gonna tell you again.

[celest fable]

it wasnt a lfg tho, im not in the game

i was asking a question

[reef reef]

It was a question that should be asked in the LFG chats.

[verbal mica]

yep i did the same today i was doing a landmark. last boss few npcs ( heartbreak full stacked all blues ) lol im ending a boss he goes rogue while behind me and im taking damage but losing no armor and he gets cooked

[celest fable]

debatable

[reef reef]

You were looking for a checkpoint. Which means you'd need to join a group- therefore, Looking for group.

[celest fable]

true that

[bitter wraith]

What's your build? Mine full red and terrible all HSD

[fiery cloud]

Hey Aspect

[leaden spade]

Can you still get kingbreaker

[viscid cargo]

Yeah

[lament mirage]

Yep just target loot ar’s

[leaden spade]

Do you know drop chance because this is day 4 of farming and I can't seem to get it been doing countdown and summit

[viscid cargo]

Same as any other named item

[lament mirage]

Shit rng

4 days be nothing tho just keep farming

[viscid cargo]

For a named items its alot

[azure lintel]

I have farmed countdown for 2 days and got 3 exotic guns and about 5 king breakers

It’s not really that good of a gun though ngl

There are lots better

[plain trail]

it's a pretty good weapon

it just has very clear weaknesses lmao

[brittle copper]

What the hell's going on with all these black screen crashes? My game minimizes to a black screen and crashes within 10 minutes of starting the game and playing. Lowered graphics, disabled overlays, why is this game so damn unstable?

[celest fable]

cause

[frozen meadow]

Beep boop

Chicken noodle soup

[proud shell]

What's up with Xbox servers I can't find players on heroic missions in the night

[potent condor]

beep beep
you're now a sheep

[next trail]

Hey can someone help me with info pls

[sour sparrow]

Are you on DX11 or DX12? Also, are you overclocking your system?

[sour sparrow]

I can do my best, whats up?

[next trail]

I need exotics I have none where can I get em

[sour sparrow]

Totally random honestly. Use the targeted loot map (up on controller d-pad I think) and find what you want then go there and do the activity(s). Directives help increase targeted loot drops also

What exotic are you after specifically? The target loot map for today is kind ass atm

[next trail]

A good ar

[sour sparrow]

Oh, not many exotic ones. The Chameleon is good but it acts like an SMG in terms of accuracy and range. The Eagle Bearer is good but its exclusive to Dark Hours raid or the Dark Zone

[inner kettle]

Alright boys, imagine i'm terrible at the game, and just boosted to 40

What gearsets should i be farming to catch up with my boys that are already level 40 and shd 500+ lol

[tender wave]

Negotiators and Strikers are the top DPS gearsets, for full builds check the pinned spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice. Playing with Glass Cannon chest talent can provide good training in intelligent positioning/cover use, as well.

[inner kettle]

Perfect, thanks

[celest fable]

does changing world diff reset control points or nah?

[azure lintel]

it didnt for me when i changed mine yesterday

[lavish rampart]

sometimes it does sometimes it doesnt (for me atleast)

[celest fable]

ouch

[lament mirage]

Yep

[crude cave]

changing world difficulty resets everything on your map, but only for your current map. so if you don't want to wipe your captured cps you can just head to coney island or the pentagon and change your difficulty there and then go back

[celest fable]

daaym thanks

[crude cave]

np

[open prawn]

any specific way to get the kingbreaker?

[torpid plume]

Named item cache

[plain trail]

very common drop from countdown with TL.

[open prawn]

TL?

[small spear]

targeted loot

[fair lake]

Targeted Loot

[open prawn]

ohh my fault

is the eagle bearer any good anymore

https://gyazo.com/93798bc789f7f1bd1eff3a24d97deac8 https://gyazo.com/548d15bfbddfd88c52ce724e49c651e0

are my two builds rn

[mint plaza]

is there a flashlight attachment for the pistols?

[fair lake]

Yes

[pastel stump]

Does anyone use the flashlight more than what they thought they would

[sour sparrow]

Lmao no, only when I go into the sewers for immersion's sake xD

[pastel stump]

I do for some reason

[vital zenith]

anyone wanna help me hunt down two hunters

[pastel stump]

I would but I don't play on pc

[vital zenith]

pain

[crude cave]

it's okay. not great, not terrible

[crude cave]

walking around with a hive is a lot better for illumination than the ridiculously hyperfocused flashlight beam. like, take the hive out like you're about to throw it but don't, it'll highlight everything in it's potential deployment radius

[pastel stump]

You be right though

[vital zenith]

how long for 9pm in game to roll around from 8am...just wondering how long i gotta wiat to die to hunters

[sour sparrow]

It should deffo give +10% stability during the day and +20% accuracy at night

[pastel stump]

I'd you died to the hunters you have to wait 24hrs irl time to try again

[crude cave]

i'd be happy if they just made the beam less focused tbh

[vital zenith]

wait really? waht if its a diffrent hunter

hunters

[crude cave]

it's like, great, there's a spot 2cm across that's now illuminated brighter than the sun, too bad the rest of my fov is still darker than satan's anus

[vital zenith]

theres two of them : D

[sour sparrow]

Not all of them, some of them can retried right away IF its still night time.

The Xmas Tree Quattro
The one by the contaminated area where you shoot the broken windows

Those are only two I know right now that can be retried on death

[pastel stump]

If he's by himself when I did it it would let me try again until the next day

[sour sparrow]

Yeah its pretty bust right now

[crude cave]

i suspect you might not have to wait a full day IRL if you just zone into a different map and back or relog

[pastel stump]

He can do it again in someone else's session

[sour sparrow]

Not even then, you can keep running back as long as its after 9pm and before 5am

[pastel stump]

Like I said when I did it the game would let me

[sour sparrow]

And even then its not a whole real 24hour day, its just in game time

[vital zenith]

great onto that note...how hard are two hunters agie? i remmber beating summit solo and the two hunters being...kinda hard....

[crude cave]

lower your world difficulty to normal before doing the hunters

[sour sparrow]

I don't call 'em Spicey Bois for no reason xD

[crude cave]

you don't get anything extra from doing them on a higher difficulty

[pastel stump]

They hit hard but pending on you world difficulty

[sour sparrow]

If just after masks and keys yeah, lower world diffy

[pastel stump]

Don't use skills thoughs

[crude cave]

they don't have a unique loot table for gear so the only reason you'd do them on say heroic or whatever is if you were a masochist

[vital zenith]

im just trying to finish a project

[sour sparrow]

They drop loot too, higher chance of named items (from personal experience) but they're usually trash rolls

[sour sparrow]

Ridgway's Pride?

[vital zenith]

yep

i want my chests piece back

[pastel stump]

Oh

[sour sparrow]

Lower world diffy then up it when you turn in the project

[crude cave]

it would be waaaay easier to just ask around for a summit floor 100 checkpoint than trying to do the puzzle hunters lmao

[vital zenith]

prob butttt i try this one first

already got all the steps

[pastel stump]

If I knew it was summit hunters it's a totally different story those guys don't despawn

[vital zenith]

yeaa no...but i ask around for summit after i most likely die

[pastel stump]

In the summit no matter what difficulty you get guaranteed hunters

[crude cave]

there's also a hunter in the schaeffer manhunt mission but he disappears if you die to him

[vital zenith]

9 in game hours left wooo

[crude cave]

and there's only one afaik so nvm not the best choice for ridgeway's

[pastel stump]

That one took me 2 times

[vital zenith]

....anyone near floor 100?

[pastel stump]

9 in game hours for what

Summit hunters

[sour sparrow]

So glad I had a Scorpio by the time I did that mission lmao made it so much easier

[crude cave]

i wound up cheesing him with riot foam

[vital zenith]

no for 9pm to roll around to do the hunters

[pastel stump]

Oh

The scorpio is op for rouges and hunters it's hilarious

[vital zenith]

oo how do u get it? or just rando exotic drop?

[pastel stump]

Now it is

[crude cave]

by now it's in the general loot pool

if you don't have one you can just abuse riot foam though

[vital zenith]

dam, im trying to get the hunter looking backpack that i forgot the name off

[sour sparrow]

I have a build I only use for rogue agents in Summit (not great in open world or missions cuz usually already in combat) and it SLAPS, can facetank rogues on Heroic

[sour sparrow]

Momento, I so wish we can use its appearance for other bags

[vital zenith]

i just want it seems like a great exotic too

[celest fable]

anyone here with 2pc and an alt account (for science glitch) cough cough

[crude cave]

meanwhile i'm here wishing you could transmog over exotic gear pieces lmao

[pastel stump]

I use when ever there rouges anyways

[celest fable]

and i wish the opposite (as in to use exotic look over normal gear)

[sour sparrow]

2pc what?

[celest fable]

2 personal computers

[sour sparrow]

Oh, 2 PCs, lol

[celest fable]

ye

[vital zenith]

ohh hmmmm i have two pcs hmmmmmm HMMMM

[crude cave]

lmao i also read that as 2pc of a set

[celest fable]

if u wanna cook come me dms

[vital zenith]

let him cook

[celest fable]

its a 2.1 man operation

[sour sparrow]

Sounds like something that shouldn't be done.

I wouldn't risk it honestly.

[celest fable]

i mean, technically

[pastel stump]

Then why ask

[celest fable]

cuz why not

[pastel stump]

Lol

[sour sparrow]

If you say "technically", no, it shouldn't be done.

[celest fable]

i mean, theres no stopping it so

[pastel stump]

I wouldn't risk it either way but then again I don't have a pc

[celest fable]

😢

[pastel stump]

I'm ok with my xbox

[crude cave]

yeah that kinda sounds pretty sketch

[sour sparrow]

DM me the thing, I want to at least know what it is, I'm for technical buggery and finding things. Hell, I know a way to get under the map in both DC and one of the off-site servers

[vital zenith]

that seems cool af

[sour sparrow]

Doesn't effect anyone else mind you so it's not a problem

[celest fable]

its not a bug

nor a glitch, i just called it that way

[sour sparrow]

It really is cool. Start in Coney Island, can run through (under) Manning Zoo, all the way to Summit, takes about 45 minutes of just running but its great to see things from a different point of view

[pastel stump]

I just want more buildings to be opened up

[sour sparrow]

omg why is my message being auto deleted, it has no swear wtf

FECK

[vital zenith]

omg how could you, truly evil XD

[sour sparrow]

wow...

[pastel stump]

Lol

[vital zenith]

this is great im haveing a laugh

[pastel stump]

Having fun messing around with words

[sour sparrow]

I will break this puzzle

I want to explore a sky scraper that is not instanced levels like Summit

FECKIN WOW....

It was "sky scraper" but without the space between sky and scaper...

[pastel stump]

Lmao

[sour sparrow]

"sky s" is the word, I don't know of any bad word that's "sky s"

Ohhhhh, "k y s"

Yup, thats the one

"This can’t be posted because it contains content blocked by this server. This may also be viewed by server owners."

[pastel stump]

That make no sense what so ever

[vital zenith]

hahahah XD HAD TO TRY IT

[crude cave]

lmfao wow sky scraper as a single word really is censored

[sour sparrow]

Right? You'd think with the AI these days Discord would have better censorship bots lol

[vital zenith]

XD cant edit it in

[glossy obsidian]

Hi, at which point should i get into raiding?

[pastel stump]

That hilarious

[crude cave]

literally whenever you feel like

[sour sparrow]

Whenver you'd got a solid DPS build and a solid team, try the LFG channels if you want to raid. Dark Hours is the easier one

[crude cave]

obviously depends on whether or not the raid group in question approves

[glossy obsidian]

perfect, thank you!

[sour sparrow]

SKISCRAPER!

Feck yeah >:D

[vital zenith]

skISCRAPER

XD

[sour sparrow]

A building we ski in

[vital zenith]

SkYcraper

[pastel stump]

Oml

[crude cave]

which is weird, right? because fuck isn't censored here

[vital zenith]

ahh but B is

the mystery of why sky scraper is banned lol

[sour sparrow]

I wanna test something (mods please dont ban me for this)...here goes...

[vital zenith]

XD

[crude cave]

LOL

[sour sparrow]

WOW!!!!

[crude cave]

LOOOOL

[vital zenith]

XD THIS IS INCREDIBLE

[pastel stump]

Oh lmao

[sour sparrow]

Gonna sound dumb and patronising (I dont mean it that way) but are you targeting specifically holsters?

[vital zenith]

oh man its 9pm in game wish me gl to kill these hunters...and hopefully not die

[sour sparrow]

Good luck man!

[crude cave]

you don't want a waveform anyway, a regular skill build is better

[sour sparrow]

3pc Empress International + 2pc Hana-U + whatever you want to fill the gap

[pastel stump]

There a loophole in in-game chat where you can use swear words you cant spell out front you got space each letter

[sour sparrow]

All rolled with skill tiers on core, with skill dmg and skill haste as the attributes

[lofty bone]

its 2023, we NEED a faster way to open all the damn caches we get, both apparel and proficiency

[sour sparrow]

Or...just turn off the chat filter? O.o xD

[crude cave]

wyvern

[pastel stump]

Me and some of my friends use it to talk crap to each other

[sour sparrow]

Hold up, lemme slap a GOOD skill build together for you

[crude cave]

just do the regular old 3pc empress 2pc hana 1pc wyvern and don't fuss around with the waveform

test subject is nice, if you don't have that a regular weapon will with normal in-sync will do. sometimes i like to use a shotgun with preservation as a stat stick as well, since the innate dta from shotguns applies to some skills and preservation procs on skill kills (don't try to actually use the shotgun to kill things)

[sour sparrow]

https://mxswat.github.io/mx-division-builds/#/MwTgtOCMlgDGlh2fVL2oFwBYCsEEZ5EFYB2DStLbbA6ZE7AJira2YDZ6j2+tIADh79RsTMCRRe1MSkzNsMfCG6z1cTBu3ydezLiA

Look at this, the go-to skill dmg build

[crude cave]

i suggested that because you mentioned you were going after the waveform and you'll be better off with that instead; the waveform is ... not great

[sour sparrow]

You can use the named Empress International chest piece "Caesar's Guard" for extra skill cooldown too

[vital zenith]

died in 3 min lol

[crude cave]

only applies to one skill at a time. as far as whether stacks are maintained when it swaps over, idk

i mean, if you really want to use it, you can; we're just trying to save you the headache of farming for a middling (at best) exotic since you were complaining about it earlier

people have done the math on it, i just don't have the post on hand right now

[reef reef]

by the way, please dont intentionally trip the language filter

[crude cave]

i went ahead and googled around and found these two, might be worth a read:

https://old.reddit.com/r/thedivision/comments/ri5xwt/why_is_rigger_unpopular/hovktv0/
https://old.reddit.com/r/thedivision/comments/r0pfg9/why_the_people_prefer_this_combination/hlvdq8v/

[sour sparrow]

I understand, was just trying to figure out why it censored one word containing "The 3 Forbidden Letters™️ " but not it's whole saying

[crude cave]

second link concludes waveform is a 3% increase, up to you to determine whether you think the methodology is valid or not. personally, i'd just use wyvern for the constant 10% @azure lintel

[reef reef]

yeah, mostly talking to the other people who "had to try it"

[hybrid ore]

The 3 letters by themselves are enough to trip it.
"summit" should be fine.

[crude cave]

so what exactly is your build then? what brandsets are you running?

you could always just throw on a secondary or sidearm with preservation and swap to it whenever you need it, preservation procs on skill kills

you could also run the emperor's guard kneepads

named item, has 1% armor regen as one of it's attributes

honestly though what you have atm is fine if you want the regen, i wouldn't consider it to be improved by the addition of a waveform

assuming you're running tech spec and can therefore sacrifice a skill tier from gear and still maintain st6

[pastel stump]

Wow that's dumb

[hybrid ore]

@next trail You're looking for #lfg-playstation

[crude cave]

yeah don't worry about the waveform then, it won't improve your build as it is

[next trail]

Can you kill him?

[crude cave]

yes but on second thought don't worry about those either because they're harder to farm for than a waveform and also not a significant improvement

[sour sparrow]

Oof, over time you'll get better at them, they don't act like normal enemies, even compared to legendary difficulty enemies, if you push forward just enough they'll run out and strike you down, if you fall back, they'll push towards you. If you sit still they'll spam skills at you. To kill a Hunter, you first have to become the Hunter 😛

[crude cave]

your current setup is fine

that'll be it

[pastel stump]

I'm not on Playstation I'm in xbox and I don't go in the darkzone

[crude cave]

set your targeted loot to ARs and look for both a test subject and a capacitor (if you've never gotten a capacitor before you can get one in like 15 minutes by doing 5 summit challenges on any difficulty)

[open prawn]

how to get the purple star things?

[pastel stump]

Purple star things?

[open prawn]

the season thing

[pastel stump]

The global event

[open prawn]

yeah

the emp thing

[hybrid ore]

@open prawn Do you mean the Global Event? Those are more of a red/pink, but colourblind I guess.
You need to have the GE Active and you earn them from Challenges and levelling up.

[pastel stump]

Level up and do the challenges make sure the event is activated though

[sour sparrow]

Capacitor is the exotic version of Test Subject (PDR)

[open prawn]

how to activate

[hybrid ore]

Capacitor requires you to complete challenges within Summit, once you have the BP you can farm additional copies from Targeted Loot.

[crude cave]

np, should thank @sour sparrow too 😉

[sour sparrow]

What did I do? O.o

Pretty much those lol

[next trail]

Can someone op pls kill these guys

[sour sparrow]

There is also Petrov Defense group

[hybrid ore]

@azure lintel You can change the appearance of Gear as long as it's not Exotic.
So whatever you have picked up before.

Covert/Stinger Hunter shirt is pretty up there for size, going to be bigger/bulkier than 99% of vests.

[crude cave]

yaahl isn't particularly big or heavy but doesn't look too bad if you haven't taken a look yet, also 5.11 is also not heavy but isn't good for anything other than it's appearances lol. otherwise, in terms of heavy armour it's basically just things like gila or petrov or whatever

there are a few cosmetic pieces that override your chest armour, though i don't remember them all off the top of my head

[short prawn]

ive got the biggest inventory in dc

[crude cave]

both white and black BTSU pieces but they're just plate carriers and not the heavy armour look you're going for

[sour sparrow]

BTSU heavy armour would make SICK transmogs

In fact, all of them would

[open prawn]

awe man i cant open the game

stuck at 0 for connecting to online services

[crude cave]

there's a brown scarf that's looted from the open world that's pretty big and covers the entire neck, and a red recolour of that you can buy with textiles, but i don't recall either of their names

neither of them have keffiyeh in the name, i think i know what you're referring to

it's gray, isn't it? the keffiyeh?

the two i'm talking about have neither shemagh or keffiyeh as part of their names

i'll see if i can find a screenshot of my character (i'm not in game right now) with the scarf equipped and send it to you

@azure lintel this is the scarf i'm talking about, should be an open-world drop. also has a red recolour i'm almost certain you can get with textiles

[sour sparrow]

Wait until you keep getting the same item in a row 😛

[crude cave]

okay apparently i can't attach pictures in this channel

[hybrid ore]

No image permissions in here, the madness that would allow.

Although sporadic in #ask-td2-community is fine, as long as it's game related.

[crude cave]

https://i.imgur.com/cwCzzJZ.jpg

best angle i could find from my old screenshots unfortunately, not in-game so i can't grab a fresh one on-demand

i think so

there are some from an older apparel event that cover both the neck and lower half of the face

security-something? maybe possibly has hawk somewhere in the name?

[hybrid ore]

Shame the BTSU outfit isn't still a thing that's obtainable.

[crude cave]

the one i linked is; the original from year 1 isn't

but you're right because the year 1 version is better in a lot of respects

[hybrid ore]

Yep that's what I meant.

[sour sparrow]

Which one? We have the black standard version and the white one

[crude cave]

there was a year 1 version that was basically a better version of the black one we have now, since it was a full body uniform it included a lot of accessories that the 3 individual pieces don't include

holster and scarf, for instance, likely others as well. pants were also better

the current pants are ridiculously bulky

[hybrid ore]

"Invasion" apparel event. Was the same one that the red+black face "commander" mask came from.

[sour sparrow]

Ohhh gotcha

I just want a version of the current one (black and white) but without the chest piece

[hybrid ore]

I was almost kicked from a DH once for wearing it.

Good times.

[crude cave]

the year 1 exclusive?

lmao they were jelly

[sour sparrow]

That's stupid, imagine beefing someone because of some clothes

[hybrid ore]

The reasoning was "you look like an NPC and I wasted an entire mag on you"
so fair's fair.

[crude cave]

LOL

[sour sparrow]

But...nameplates? >_>

[hybrid ore]

pfft, who plays with the UI on.

[crude cave]

i've been meaning to equip a ksg and then walk menancingly at groupmates in pugs while shooting, happy to know it'll actually be psychologically effective when i try it

[sour sparrow]

Bet you play on HC with your eyes closed and one handed too!

[hybrid ore]

I don't even have the game installed right now.

to that though; after a while you know div2 well enough to play without most of the elements active.

[crude cave]

shirley you can't be serious

but really though it doesn't get in your way not being able to see buff icons?

[pastel stump]

I was playing last night with fog of war and fragile armour on and the game didn't register both directives being on

[hybrid ore]

I've had the ingame sound off since about 2020, so not really.

[crude cave]

dang

[hybrid ore]

After a while, Heroic becomes the "default" difficulty. It'll happen to you too eventually.
At that stage the game stops being hard and kinda settles. It's nice to be able to run a podcast during it.

[pastel stump]

I did notice that heroic became the normal difficulty

[crude cave]

heroic's been the default for me for a while (it's certainly a lot easier now than it was in year 1 of wony), i just can't imagine playing without sound or at least some ui elements lol

[pastel stump]

I have to play with the sounds it don't seem right not to

[crude cave]

yep, losing sound cues is not something i'm willing to do in any game lol. plus ola strandh's soundtrack work has been fire ever since the first game

[pastel stump]

Right

I like that little song they had playing in div 1 on this street block

I forget where it was

[crude cave]

his div 1 work had more character to it imo

[proud locust]

Heroic has been default for me but struggle to make more perfect DPS loadout

And I tend to torture myself with certain mods that are less annoying but sometimes more annoying

[hybrid ore]

You really don't need a perfect loadout, just something that works with your playstyle.
Nothing wrong with switching it up if what you're told to run doesn't work.

aka: me and my weird Backfire build.

[proud locust]

It sometimes work with jack of all trades loadout most of time but when I switch to a crowd control loadout your vulnerable to heavies

The crowd control is basically eclipse with high status effect but useless against warhounds and heavies

[hybrid ore]

@open prawn You're looking for #lfg-pc, best of luck

[toxic flume]

PTS in the future or naw. If not imma delete the PTS file from my pc

[crude cave]

pts is over m8

uninstall it

[hybrid ore]

There's sometimes multiple sessions of it "each" PTS, but this time we haven't heard news about it.

[toxic flume]

Ok, it’s deleted now until further notice

Just wanna make sure lol

[hybrid ore]

You can always "fast" install it later, assuming that method works for you.

[toxic flume]

It’s fine my internet is fast anyways

100 down… pfff it be about a 30 min download

[crude cave]

30 minutes for the entire pts at only 100mbps? surely you mean 1000?

[toxic flume]

100 GBs down

[crude cave]

bruh nobody has 100 gb on a residential line

[toxic flume]

My bad, most people say # down is normally GBs

[crude cave]

okay, but you absolutely do not have a 100 gb/sec (or even "merely" 100 gbps) internet connection

[toxic flume]

My b. It’s 1000 MB down

[crude cave]

lmao there we go

[toxic flume]

Oops… I’m slow rn… I just woke up after a long day of work

[crude cave]

lol no worries

[toxic flume]

Stayed up for 16 hours is rough man… 10 hours sleep feels amazing even though I’m tired asf still

[crude cave]

same, had to stay up for a while before the last time i went to bed, got to wake up naturally instead of by an alarm but still sore af everywhere and with a headache

[toxic flume]

It be like that.

You know you have good nap/sleep if you wake up before your alarm.

[crude cave]

only if you don't set an alarm at all though, if i set one i wind up with a bit of anxiety over it that wakes me up like 2 minutes before the alarm goes off

or is that just me

[toxic flume]

I have the same feeling till I check the time.

I feel more relieved that I wake up about up to 30 mins early before alarm compare to 2-4 hours before alarm

Going back to bed for couple hours is exhausting when I wake up after I just woke up for no reason

[crude cave]

yeah that's true, i wind up feeling even worse if that happens vs if i hadn't gone back to sleep at all

[toxic flume]

True

[sour sparrow]

Look into what sleep cycles are, you've woken up in the middle of one, that's why you feel groggy as opposed to waking up 30 minutes before your alarm where you felt refreshed

[toxic flume]

Might be the caffeine… welp I’m in the military. It’s an addiction to have

[sour sparrow]

Fellow caffiene addict here too ☕👌

[toxic flume]

Caffeine is life when we’re young

[cinder flare]

Is it possible to create a new Charakter, get it from lvl 30 to 40 and spend alle the shd points, then delete the Character and do the method again so u kinds have infinite shd points?

[crude cave]

yes, people have been doing that since like forever

[cinder flare]

Okay nice didnt knew that

[crude cave]

just make sure you buy the shared materials bp before you delete the character

otherwise all the resources from your watch points will obviously be deleted along with the character

[vapid cave]

can i ask what is fastes way to level up the battle pass?

[toxic flume]

Yes, just make a alt and use the wony booster. And run through the campaign. Once you reach DC after wony completion . Buy the account shared stuff from the blueprint vendor person. And cash in shd points

Money doesn’t transfer over but only rss do

[verbal mica]

just play the game itl go up in no time .

[pastel stump]

Foundry bulwark ivory set

[frozen meadow]

ivory?

[pastel stump]

Ivory, teal, blue whatever

[toxic flume]

Bulwark is a iron hours raid set. I think it’s all in global loot pool as well

[frozen meadow]

Are you trying to say the colour of it..?

[pastel stump]

Does it really matter but always it drops in open world all pieces

[frozen meadow]

The BP/chest used to be ih exclusive

[toxic flume]

Ye^

[remote marsh]

Heartbreaker with Memento backpack & Kingbreaker AR with Scorpio.

[frozen meadow]

That's not a tank what

[toxic flume]

The og origin is IH

Now it’s in general loot pool sometime after IH dropped

[frozen meadow]

That's not tanky lol

[frozen meadow]

It's funny that the gearsets actually dropped a week prior to ih

[remote marsh]

Run crusader shield with the technician hive.

[toxic flume]

When it dropped, ye

[frozen meadow]

That isn't a tank

Harland what are you suggesting lmao

[remote marsh]

That's cool, I didn't ask for your opinion.

[frozen meadow]

What

[toxic flume]

Tank is like a regen full armor build…

[frozen meadow]

spouts bad advice
"I didn't ask you"

[toxic flume]

Not heartbreaking mentos

[hybrid ore]

If you post something in a public forum, people are allowed to give their opinion on it.
If you have a problem with that, this Server may not be for you.

[frozen meadow]

I personally run belstone bp with ad rush, and pointman

Then 4 piece improv cuz I'm like that

[remote marsh]

Thanks Lesbian ISAC, I'll try to remember that.

[frozen meadow]

Lmao I have no clue if that's an insult

[toxic flume]

Not bad

[toxic flume]

Just try to keep it casual and much professional as you can in this sever. I suggest

[frozen meadow]

Fucken 70% pfe

Take no shit from anyone

[near geyser]

Well it's official. I'm a Scorpio person now.

[frozen meadow]

Except purbles

[toxic flume]

PFE is crazy on a tank build

[toxic flume]

And reds

[frozen meadow]

That's why I run 4 improv

[remote marsh]

Scorpio is a nice shotty.

[frozen meadow]

Nah reds r fine

It's the purble doggos

[near geyser]

Yeah I immediately bumped up from hard to heroic once I got it

[frozen meadow]

Lol

[toxic flume]

Scorpio is crazy but depends on what you go up against

[frozen meadow]

Scorpio is decent imo

Highly overrated

[toxic flume]

Big facts

[near geyser]

I was trying smg builds but nothing's been clicking so far

[frozen meadow]

It's not shit but it's not godsend

[remote marsh]

Have you tried Hunters Fury with Dark Winter?

[frozen meadow]

Dark winter isn't all that tbh

[near geyser]

Haven't gotten my hands on dark winter

[toxic flume]

Dark winter is decent . I prefer my MPX with measured.

[frozen meadow]

Too CQC for me

[near geyser]

Perfect killer, that's a decent talent

[toxic flume]

If you can proc a kill.

[hybrid ore]

I assumed it was an insult, but I actually quite like it.

[frozen meadow]

Lol

[remote marsh]

It wasn't..? But okay

[frozen meadow]

I don't like smgs and shotties all that much

[hybrid ore]

Just trying to work out who the female equivalent to garrus is so I can imagine the voice.

[frozen meadow]

ANNA?

[hybrid ore]

Dark Winter is a fun as hell SMG that is very much not the best.

[frozen meadow]

Like what keener has

ROOT DIRECTORY COMPROMISED

[hybrid ore]

Well ISAC is voiced by Brandon Keener (the irony, I know), so I guess that would either be Vetra or Femshep.

I'll go with Hale.

[toxic flume]

That’s the female issac essentially

[frozen meadow]

I know

[hybrid ore]

Actually can not find who ANNA's VA is. I assume either TTS or a dev.

[toxic flume]

The Rogue Network, also known as ANNA is a network created by rogue agent Theo Parnell. It connects rogue agents across the United States, acting as a rogue version of ISAC and the SHD Network. This network was designed as a way to organize the, until that point, a loose band of rogue agents, and to unify them against certain goals.

Following Aaron Keener's death, he activated the Rogue Network as part of his plan to ensure his legacy: continuing his cause of spreading chaos, and entrusting other rogue agents with his mission.

[hybrid ore]

......how would I not know that?

[toxic flume]

That’s on the div wiki

[hybrid ore]

@plain trail This is what I meant yesterday with the "um actually" comment.

It's an epidemic I swear.

[toxic flume]

I can link you the page for you from the div wiki

It just says that tho lol

[hybrid ore]

Are you trying to make a joke?

[toxic flume]

No

[hybrid ore]

Unbelievable.

[toxic flume]

Smh 🤦‍♂️

[plain trail]

um actually

Its a pandemic 💀

[hybrid ore]

Not according to dumb leaders, it's all safe now.

[plain trail]

mask off boiz

[hybrid ore]

Ouija. I commented that I didn't know who ANNA's VA is, not that I didn't know who she was.
How on earth would I not know who ANNA is? I've been playing since literally before day 1, and played WONY day 1 too.

[frozen meadow]

Omg I wish you could change isac to anna

Like a game setting

[potent condor]

eevee

[frozen meadow]

Seraph

[toxic flume]

I knew keener had an AI. Then @frozen meadow said the name of the AI and it popped back into my head.

[potent condor]

what kinda stuff are you doing today

[toxic flume]

Frfr. Would be the best QOL change

[hybrid ore]

I keep seeing that request, but like, why?

[toxic flume]

We have his watch. I don’t understand why we can’t use his AI.

[frozen meadow]

idk it would be nice lol

[toxic flume]

Isaac do get boring overtime.

Anna does have a cute 🥰 voice for an AI.

[frozen meadow]

@potent condor hugging a minecraft fox plushie rn

[pastel stump]

The only time I pay attention to when Isaac speaks is when he warns us of Rouge agents

[frozen meadow]

super cute ngl

[potent condor]

ooh

[fast barn]

What does field recon data do?

[frozen meadow]

its for optimization and expertise materials

[toxic flume]

Isaac: rouge agent detected
Me: where tf is that rouge at huh? Come at me B***H.

[frozen meadow]

its rogue not rouge

[fast barn]

Ah ok

What about shd calibration? Is that just an extra point to use?

[toxic flume]

Sorry my spelling is always off… meh 😒

[frozen meadow]

same thing lol

[fast barn]

Oh ok

Which is more useful?

[frozen meadow]

both are useful

since they are used in the exact same things lol

[fast barn]

I see

[azure lintel]

will division remove expertise in pvp in the future?

[frozen meadow]

they plan on doing it for unoccupied dz and conflict

[potent condor]

so eevee

when can you evolve into a leafeon

[frozen meadow]

:(

[potent condor]

what

leafeon is beautiful

and strong

[frozen meadow]

sylveon >>>>>>

[toxic flume]

Idk if I want to grind out div1 again from Xbox on PC…

[fast barn]

What do you do with the "reconfigure" blueprints?

[azure lintel]

Finally got all white tusk pieces

Now ig I just have raids left

[hybrid ore]

99% of the time the answer is "dtooc" (damage to target out of cover).

the other 1% is a margin of error, sometimes hsd.

Basically unless an enemy is velcro'd to cover, it'll give you a boost.

[potent condor]

lmgs come with dttoc

so on an lmg maybe crit chance chd or even damage to armour

depending on what your preference is

but on an AR it's dttoc 100% of the time

[hybrid ore]

I believe rate of fire is up there for LMG's, been a while since I've tinkered with those though.

[potent condor]

i have a gr9 with frenzy and reload speed xD

wish i had something else

[hybrid ore]

DtA (damage to armour) only actually works on enemies that have a white bar over their health one.
So generally speaking, eh.

[potent condor]

dare?

[still bolt]

if u like supressing, Quiet roar can be useful

[potent condor]

there isn't an lmg for skill builds

i'd rather use test subject and mechanical animal/capacitator

[still bolt]

personally i run turret/drone and then use the roar to supress em. then again this is more of a situational use whereas u cant go wrong with the capacitor/test subject combo

yea

ngl it is satisfying when u keep em supressed with ur roar, building free dmg stacks while ur drone zips around and terrorizes the NPC's behind cover

[past ridge]

Incursion Div2 when 😁

[still bolt]

u can role dtoc onto rifles, but their other main stat is crit dmg

[gentle hatch]

new to the game , what to do ?

[gray turret]

Can somebody please help me I don't wanna be a bother but I just spent 10 hours in a row doing the dlc and skipping the main campaign to get the Leon log in bonus but still haven't received it can I not get it anymore or am i missing something

[still bolt]

chd has no cap, it can be as high as u can make it

[stiff vector]

you’ll think that chest exotic is worth it?

[still bolt]

In that case yes

[frozen meadow]

im too tired to think but

are there any gunsd with perfect flatline

[potent condor]

dare

[naive sand]

are we going to get any soundboard for this server?

[hybrid ore]

@frozen meadow Kingbreaker and Dare. The former is rather nice on crit dps tech spec builds.

[verbal mica]

must be a good day no exaggeration just dropped to scorpios within 10 mins inside heroic white oak

[fervent jacinth]

It's also great on umbra builds

[hybrid ore]

Umbra builds, which notably use crit dps.

[shadow saffron]

So true! I FINALLY got the Big Horn exotic yesterday!

[hybrid ore]

@whole holly You're looking for #lfg-pc

[verbal mica]

from where?!

[shadow saffron]

By doing Summit floor 10 on legendary,took a bit to clear the bosses on the first few floors tho 😅

[crude cave]

stomp all over the first 9 floors on normal difficulty and only change to legendary on the tenth, ezpz

[shadow saffron]

Yeah that lol should’ve done that 🤣

[balmy cedar]

Why not bullet king?

Or gr9?

Just curious

[verbal mica]

im goood 😅 . you got that one

[still bolt]

this is just personal preference but bk has too low base dmg and no real upsides, at least with the roar, when u supress, u get 10% extra weapon dmg (which can stack up to 5 times). So at least when those NPC's do pop their heads out for a cover to cover move or are just forced out due to the drone dmg, u can actually hurt them with ur primary

[balmy cedar]

Do u run GC

[still bolt]

GC?

[balmy cedar]

Glass cannon

[still bolt]

for my skill builds, yes

depends on circumstance too. I switch bw GC and KM depending on the situation

[tawdry quail]

[pure sorrel]

Anyone experience The Division not opening in ubisoft? Ive tried everything... Reinstall, Restart pc/ubisoft, verified files. Im lost on what else I can try. Just got the game

[crude cave]

like just nothing happens when you try to launch it?

[pure sorrel]

It opens as if its going to launch and then nothing happens

[crude cave]

cause occasionally the game has a bug where it takes a ridiculously long time to start up

[lilac hull]

hello wonderful peeps, just wanted to ask;
with regards tot he current manhunt - 'Stovepipe'
Is the reward an exotic chest? or just a skin? >_<

[crude cave]

try deleting or renaming your entire config folder and see if that helps

[pure sorrel]

wdym

[crude cave]

if it were a new gear piece it probably would've been called out in the patch notes for tu17, it's probably just a skin

[crude cave]

delete or rename the %UserProfile%\Documents\My Games\Tom Clancy's The Division 2 folder

[torpid plume]

Just had 10 waves of enemies spawn on a resource convoy instead of the usual amount 🤣

[pure sorrel]

the code execution cannot proceed because msvcr110.dll the division

thats what I get

even after reinstall

[crude cave]

msvcr sounds like a visual studio error, reinstall all your vc redists with the latest versions. i'll give you a link, one sec

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170

you'll want the 2012, 2013, and 2022 versions, both 32-bit and 64-bit for each

just to confirm this is for div 2 right? cause in your original message you just said "the division", if it's division 1 you might also want the 2010 redistributable

[pure sorrel]

And I just look for those files within the folder, delete them and reinstall with updated ones

[crude cave]

no

[pure sorrel]

div1 actually, but I think this still applies

[crude cave]

the vcredist installation is entirely separate from the config folder deletion i mentioned earlier

let me recap for you:

[verbal mica]

seeing alot more new or returning players so many 20shds or even 100s in cd now and more and more ppl tryna solo obj or face tank the hunters alone

[crude cave]

1. delete this folder in case you have a bad or corrupt existing config file:
   %UserProfile%\Documents\My Games\Tom Clancy's The Division

2. from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170, download and install the 32 and 64 bit executables for the 2010. 2012, 2013, and 2022 vc redistributables. it's not necessary to uninstall previous versions, but you can if you want by going into control panel>programs and features and uninstalling all of the "visual c++ redistributable" entries. if you want to uninstall the older ones, then do so first, reboot, then install the newer versions and reboot again.

@pure sorrel

[hybrid ore]

HB should use 4 pieces, including the Chest.
1 other part needs to be Ceska to get the CHC up to a solid level.
after that you can either use a Coyotes or Grupo piece.
Memento for the backpack also works, but that does mean you'll need a ceska other piece.

[torpid plume]

Atleast they have an excuse, All these people who did Faye Lau have 100k SHD level and still not good at the game 🤣

[crude cave]

i personally run mine with catharsis and a ceska piece with both the chest and backpack, but only because i'm weird like that. the backpack does absolutely nothing for your damage output, so it's more advisable to use that as your high-end slot and run something like vigilance (incoming damage to your bonus armour won't deactivate vigilance)

[hybrid ore]

Catharsis is an odd choice.

why not Coyotes over it?

[crude cave]

yeah, it definitely is

that's my "frustrated-from-dying-so-much" option so i just go overboard into survivability on that lol, i don't tend to use it ordinarily

coyote's or a sombra piece would be more advisable

[hybrid ore]

I'd probably suggest a few armour cores (2-3) over a Catharsis mask, but I guess it's not the worst option.

[crude cave]

i think i'm already running 4 blues on that getup, like i said it's definitely not optimal and i'm only doing it the way i am because i'm an oddball lol. it only ever sees use if for whatever reason i've already died a few times trying to do something with a more typical build, so it's basically just reserved as an anti-frustration build

for someone who wants to use it in a more general purpose role then i absolutely agree that coyote's/sombra and ceska with vigilance as a talent would be more ideal

[next trail]

What the best ar exotic?

[crude cave]

if you're running a skill build, capacitor, if you're not running a skill build, admire them sitting on your display wall. if you absolutely have to see something with a red background then eagle bearer, i guess - it's not great but it's not terrible either

[verbal mica]

you aint lying lol was on a heroic white oak and they didnt learn to stay in the heals just kept running out dying but shd 10k+

[crude cave]

"heals are for the WEAK"
-someone currently facetanking the floor

[pastel stump]

I do camp white oak on heroic all the time I don't need heals

[crude cave]

you probably aren't dying all the time either

i'll go out on a limb and say if someone's constantly dying the least they can do is get healed lol

[pastel stump]

Right but my build is made for rushing in getting that bonus armor which then turns into weapon damage

[pliant sentinel]

reverse osmosis

[pastel stump]

I love it but it works best when solo

[pliant sentinel]

i like my build where i

afk and the skills do all the work

[pastel stump]

Sit there and don't do nothing I like that

And kinda dumb

It's like everyone I joins just dies within months

[hybrid ore]

#td2-clan-recruitment has just so many to choose from.
A lot of them try to go for long-term so might be useful.

[pastel stump]

I didn't see much for xbox though

I was in IO Toes Down or TTD literally months after I joined it went from 30 player active to about 1 or 2

[hybrid ore]

There's apparently some kinda ingame thing for xbox, but you do see some pop up every now and then in the channel.

oh my god im a blockhead, I've been running gear with +SMG damage and im using the chameleon

[tender wave]

easy mistake to make, it does look and play like an enlarged vector

[fervent moth]

anyone know what the best way to get the exotic sniper parts for the nemesis

[naive sand]

u have to get them by doing specific mission and kill specific enemy
its a guarantee drop

[fervent moth]

yeah i have 2 parts but i did akl the invaded levels and it didnt drop the last part is there a blueprint i could look for?

[naive sand]

blueprint is drop from killing a boss in grand washington i think
it has to be invaded too for that boss to spawn

[fervent moth]

R yep thx for that i been trying to get the parts and only got 2 and wasn't sure if there was a blueprint for it

[copper surge]

When do the targetted loot allocations change over, on the daily timer?

[naive sand]

theres a guide online
look it up

[fervent moth]

yeah to easy @naive sand

[naive sand]

yea on the daily timer
if it Countdown or Summit then u can select specific target loot

[copper surge]

cheers boss

[glossy obsidian]

any tips on leveling up the watch fast and "easy"?

[naive sand]

well it was farming convoy but they nerfed the convoy exp

now u can only farm CP

CP is the fastest and give good exp compare to running mission

[glossy obsidian]

control points?

[naive sand]

yea

[verbal mica]

kinda messed up they did that fr. legit want u to be a slave to the game

[glossy obsidian]

okay thank you 🙂

[verbal mica]

cheaters are fine but no no dont you dare grind xp

[glossy obsidian]

i guess on heroic with all directives?

[naive sand]

they want u to hardcore farming 🥹

[naive sand]

yea

[verbal mica]

basically wake up goto school or work. touch grass before u go inside ur house. and get back to ur second job. i mean farming. 🔂

[naive sand]

they want people to spend full time farming

but wat i heard from riven is that they will change it back in the next patch

[verbal mica]

W

[viscid cargo]

They didnt nerf it, its being reversed soon

[naive sand]

yea gotta wait for the next patch

also they gotta fix my daily project
it keep bug out

telling me to do summit floor then go to summit and it changed to bounty

[viscid cargo]

It resets whenever you change server, aka fast travel from nyc, dc, summit etc

[naive sand]

💀

i guess it because i was sherpa

[potent lava]

why does my stats say my headshot is -38% on an all headshot build

[deep blaze]

You know they could reduce convoy XP a couple more times and it’d still be better than basically everything else right

[whole holly]

Gotta love that kingbreaker reload animation……

[thorny talon]

What all items u get from stars project ?

[whole holly]

Backpack trophies and arm patches.

[unreal crystal]

I wonder if Countdown could be any more ruined? It's simply a waste of time. More often than not, about 6 out of 10 times, it starts off with bugs, and even when it does run properly, 3 out of the remaining 4 times, the game gets disrupted because players are crashing before the hunters. This situation is beyond pathetic.

Not to mention that loots has been nerfed

[whole holly]

Yup.

[naive sand]

i think the loots nerfed is ok

so people will farm the open world more

[whole holly]

Well considering it’s 8 man scaled you should be getting a lot a loot. So the nerf isn’t good. It’s a looter shooter…

[smoky stag]

convoy xp FIX was a good move
they shouldnt have reverted. lame

[thorny talon]

How many 👦

[tawdry pelican]

Does anyone else have a problem with not being able to listen to the hunter drone recordings after a manhunt I’ve tried everything I can think of

[whole holly]

6 each I think.

[frozen holly]

7 keychains and 4 armpatches.

[thorny talon]

Me when its available for textiles 😁

[rose mauve]

Is it fairly common for Countdown to bug out and not pop with mobs? 3 games in a row now.

[verbal mica]

yep happen to me alot 2-3 just gotta keep going

nah even better nobody does the objectives lol

il see ppl right next to it and just go thru multiple times

[rose mauve]

Thanks... I've been back a little while now but noticed this seems to keep happening. I assume so many folks are back now that it's just having trouble keeping up with all the CD requests.

[rose mauve]

Yeah, I've seen that too; as well as people just standing around doing nothing at all.

[verbal mica]

yea good luck. thats half the battle :/ yeah this been happening alot@more lately used to never fail countdowns or u can get em done like 15 mins now its like a. whole project. just get the objs by urself to try speed it up but still. its 8 of us i literally did 6 of 8 heating valves :/

i dint get it cus the notification is on ur screen . then buddy calls the helo in wit 2+ mins left and all the hunters and npc still alive ( yes he died ) lmao he ran and dove to do that :/

soon as he dud that i just immediately left

oh and by get the obj by urself i dont mean solo an encounter. i mean the objs within one etc .

[rose mauve]

Yeah, valves, switches, etc. Yeah, I get it.

[lilac frost]

Anyone else having crashing issues?

[rose mauve]

From time to time. Not excessive though.

[lilac frost]

keep loading into jefferson trade plaza tryna get a coyote, then freezes and white noise, and then crashes, not sure why

[rose mauve]

Mine are just random. If you haven't tried to update all drivers and validate/repair your game files... I'd start there.

[lilac frost]

thank you sir

[frozen meadow]

hiiiiiiiiiiiii'

hows everyone doing todayyyyyyyyyy

[thorny talon]

Summit is also so empty these days in matchmaking

[rose mauve]

Failing that... there is a support channel for td2 in the Ubisoft discord as well. They've done away with their website support forums.

[frozen meadow]

beep boop

[vital zenith]

great thanks for asking hows yours : D

[frozen meadow]

i just woke up and am eating animal cookies for breakfast

i just realized i have a cinnamon roll in the fridge

[vital zenith]

solid breakfast

[frozen meadow]

yummy

omnomnomnom

[low cloak]

Hi, new player here.
Is it worth creating multiple characters?

[frozen meadow]

for what reason

i wouldnt create a new character w/o reason

[wicked rock]

I mean not much to get from there... most people already have Capacitor and Ridgeway, ... so Bighorn is the only thing left farming there, any other loot will be faster to get in countdown

[lilac frost]

think hes asking for the 'reason'

[frozen meadow]

he was asking a yes/no question

[low cloak]

Yes, trying to understand if there is any point on creating another one

[frozen meadow]

there is, i have four

one for PVE, one for PVP, one for WONY runs for resources, and the last is HC

[sour sparrow]

Yes it is. Most people will have a main that they play and once at a certain SHD level (1000+) they make a new character, boost it to Warlords expansion, complete that and then spend the SHD points on crafting materials

Before SHD 1000 that particular reason isn't worth it

[frozen meadow]

a shd 1000 making a new character aint worth the time tbh

i wouldnt do it under 2k

[sour sparrow]

Those 200 scavenging points can go a long way

[frozen meadow]

not really lol

i just blew through like 400 in a few minutes just now

xD

[low cloak]

I think this is getting a bit advance for me so I'll stick with one for the moment, thanks

[frozen meadow]

gonna blow through a few more hundred in a few

[sour sparrow]

Could also use another character as a pack mule of sorts (very common in these types of games) but it's rare that you'll fill your stash to the brim

[frozen meadow]

there goes another 200

[sour sparrow]

Okay cool, I don't care Eevee.

[frozen meadow]

you clearly cared enough to reply to that message lmao

[sour sparrow]

Some people have multiple characters for specific roles, like in Eevee's case they have one for PvE and for PvP, this let's people keep their items seperate for a specific purpose. Other people have one for DPS build, another for skill builds and another for raid builds but if you're new, just stick with the one for now

[frozen meadow]

what sidearm should i throw on my hc char

[lilac frost]

if you are fairly casual i wouldnt worry

[sour sparrow]

Any you like? That's not even question worth asking, look at your current build and use one that fits it? 🤔

[frozen meadow]

there is no sidearm that fits it xD

[sour sparrow]

Then choose any, it doesn't matter then. Think for yourself damn

[frozen meadow]

rude

[sour sparrow]

No Eevee, you clearly know enough about the game to know what is a good sidearm and what isn't, don't even try to refute that.

[frozen meadow]

i was trying to start a conversation -.-

[viscid cargo]

Was next tu july or june?

[frozen meadow]

june sounds more accurate with the season end time

i juist blew througfh like 1200 shd points xD

[fallen cipher]

Why do so many have no plan how to play the Pentco Raid? 9 out of 10 public raids don't work... The worst thing about it is that there are so many high-level players around here who are so bad and sometimes don't use their expertise or don't level their items. And then start sorting your loot in the raid and just stand there stupidly for minutes even though the raid is time-limited.. What's wrong with you?

[nimble glen]

Watching a video he is literally taking ZERO damage from elites lolll

[sour sparrow]

Firstly, expertise is absolutely not required to complete the mission. Secondly, people are sometimes overwhelmed by it (I was at first) and Thirdly, people are just dumb sometimes 🤔

[sour sparrow]

It's impossible to take zero damage from elites, it has a cap so that guy is no doubt cheating in some regard. No two ways about it, ask experienced/veteran player and they'll tell you the same.

[hard fog]

is some one that dint get somthing frome the outfits that (metal outfit ) that division promo in twich ???????? i dint get the glove i was 5-6 hour in twich and now i spent 3 days try to get them frome the ubisoft support ... and i thing i speak only to bots ..

is some dev in support to help or not ?

[sour sparrow]

Ahh, the gloves are bugged, they are called "Firewall Gloves 1/2" (or 2/2 I can't remember)

They're the wrong 3D model also

[hard fog]

omfg and why they dont tell it to me pffff

[frozen meadow]

expertise is expensive as hell and not worth upgrading for armour, only guns and specific skills

[vital zenith]

kill me...i just do a weekly exotic chache and got bloody knuckles, i got arando drop of bloody knuckles and i just finnished an extoic project and got bloody knuckles...

[frozen meadow]

f

[lost tundra]

The memento keeps evading me... 🙃

[sour sparrow]

The game is telling you to try a melee build (don't, it sucks ass)

[frozen meadow]

melee builds can be nice in pvp

[sour sparrow]

They didn't tell anyone lol they never do, Massive (the devs) leave it to us to figure these things out

[frozen meadow]

had a mate that was an absolute beast with one

[sour sparrow]

WE are the quality assurance apparently

[vital zenith]

i dont do pvp tho, dont got a build to do one, i die quick and hardly ever hurt them so i dont try it much

[frozen meadow]

f

[hard fog]

pfffff I stop hoping for this game ....

[frozen meadow]

i love this game

[vital zenith]

at least i got extoc compents to make extics blueprints that i dont own...

[sour sparrow]

Because of a visual bug? I get it, the metal head gloves look cool because spikes but don't let it sour your taste for the game

[sour sparrow]

The silver lining 👌

[frozen meadow]

gonna farm countdown in hopes for a regulus /j

[hard fog]

noooo not only for that ..... for all the bags problems things that dint work in this game

[frozen meadow]

every game has bugs

[sour sparrow]

Yeah there are some bugs that are annoying but we push on and try not to let it bother us

[obsidian surge]

I just reached SHD lv 1 what should I do now?

[frozen meadow]

get a dps build

[sour sparrow]

Keep going and farm better gear 👍

[obsidian surge]

Oohh I was hoping to get one like that. Lolz.

[frozen meadow]

im currently doing countdown on hardcore with a shd 20 character

[sour sparrow]

If you go to #td2-build-advice in the pinned section is a spreadsheet full of builds you can grind for

[obsidian surge]

But I was looking for how to farm negotiator's set but I can't find where to farm the gear tho.

[frozen meadow]

countdown or summit you can pick the loot to farm

i wish i had the same sidearm as my sc character

godrolled kard custom with sledgehammer

[sour sparrow]

That's okay at best

[frozen meadow]

me or him

[sour sparrow]

Your sidearm

It's good for CC but that's about it

[frozen meadow]

its a good sidearm for not using it

[sour sparrow]

Preservation would be superior 👌

[frozen meadow]

nah

sledge for dmg

either way its a rolled talent

max pistol max DTTOOC and a recalibrated talent

two exotic cache time lets see what i get

tardigrade oo im keepin that

and diamondback im not keepin that

two max rolls on the tardi

[sour sparrow]

Diamondback is dirty strong if you know how to use it

[frozen meadow]

not in hardcore xD

[sour sparrow]

Definitely a skill issue.

[frozen meadow]

nah just a common sense thing

[fallow idol]

Daily STARS challenges are bugged tf out 😭

[frozen meadow]

how

[rough sleet]

some people report not receiving awards after completing the projects, but haven't seen it yet myself.

[thorny talon]

Which should make msv realise to stop wasting resources to make modes like such which descent is gonna be

[thorny talon]

The good part where it locks on to enemies behind cover 😔

[sour sparrow]

A quick weapon swap fixes that! 😄

[thorny talon]

And then get rushed by other adds in mean time 😕

[haughty aspen]

So what builds are good to run I've only really ever ran skill builds but I want to be able to help in heroic and legendary content but I not sure if I have anything for gun builds

[wicked rock]

Id say skill builds are pretty useful for heroic/legendary ... the basic drone/turret setup

[sacred pelican]

eagle bearer can drop from any DZ at any time, right?

[sour sparrow]

0.00072% chance but yeah it can

[open prawn]

Is diamond back good

[cinder nacelle]

Strikers, Negotiators or a mixed brand set are all good for red weapon DPS builds I reckon. There's also status/CC builds which are super fun.

[azure lintel]

i have a question is leon kennedy's rpd outfit coming back for the second resident evil event?

[sour sparrow]

If you can get headshots its VERY good

[open prawn]

What's it talent

[sour sparrow]

https://mxswat.github.io/mx-division-builds/#/AwWl7SOreAuGS4uo1Hlq53CcGbqElTwCMAzAEwiUgAsArCOdQ69QGyctsDsqYnjjDS4REA

this tool is GREAT for looking at what weapons do

That link has the DB preselected, just highlight the talent option on the DB

[sacred pelican]

wow yeah so thats not the way to do it... thanks for the info

[azure lintel]

My goal is to make a build that's strong enough to take on the manhunt in season 5 if it's on challenging again

[sour sparrow]

Which mission is that?

[azure lintel]

This season we had challenging difficult manhunts

Which have been a pain for me since I'm a normal difficulty player since 2019 I've made a character that's powerful to hard and kinda easy on challenging but ill die if I do heroic difficulty since tried it for a bounty in New York

[sour sparrow]

I asked which mission but okay lol

[azure lintel]

Wdym mission

Pretty much all the 3 manhunt bosses have been scaled to challenging mode

The last one was at the black tusk tidal basin

The only reason the boss there was killed is I ran back to were the bunks are and hid behind the wall with my striker drone and my lullaby shotgun going over kill

[deep blaze]

Hasn't that always been a thing? I just know it was same previous season, those last missions are always challenging minimum, so if your difficulty is lower it'll still be challenging, but you can also just do it on heroic

[vague pecan]

not really, DB is much better with maximum CHD in a negos build

[deep blaze]

I thought at first you meant with how this season's heroic manhunts are basically challenging scaled, since it feels like they're substantially easier (heroic manhunts now feel like challenging in previous season, we're kind of lacking the more difficult fun heroic ones from last season)

[frozen meadow]

Probably because people won't stop whining about difficulty

[sour sparrow]

It slaps on a red core headhunter build with CHD and HSD as every shot will be a promised crit (with talent active), a crit HSD is dirt strong if you can click heads effectively

[deep blaze]

Yea ND DB is pretty fun with CHD+HSD and/or weapon handling as other stats
landing headshots with it (with or without HSD) is nice but not 100% needed especially on ND

[azure lintel]

Yeah I would not have been able to do the season cause I would get slammed dead

I finished the entire game yet I still do normal mode idk

[deep blaze]

hmm fair they could've and should've just added hard and normal scaling to those

otherwise you get this where neither side can have fun, far too easy on one side on heroic and far too hard on challenging for others without being able to lower it

[vague pecan]

I mean, that's just because it has a 3rd stat as HSD, but it's talent is ultimately a match made in heaven for negos. then you don't need to worry about landing heads. hit your mark then hit other things for guaranteed crits. 1886 base is high damage so of course the weapon would be good for headshots, but DB itself is literally centered around crits

[pulsar remnant]

Erm, may not be the p;lace to ask, BUT - Does anyone have an inkling on why Division 2 would cause crash to BIOS on launch?

I just want to play the game ;----;

[deep blaze]

Yeah with ND I'd argue sometimes you might not even want headshots potentially to make sure to kill certain other marked enemies depending on health and all of what you're shooting vs what's in cover marked etc, and regardless since HSD and CHD are on same diminishing returns it already does well with just the crit bodyshots too

[lean shadow]

Thats not a division caused issue...sounds like a hardware problem

[sour sparrow]

Obviously there is a meta, but its still very good on a headhunter red core build, there is no refuting that

[north cloak]

Without a good build hard+ are less fun

[pulsar remnant]

I can't figure out what hardware issue; it doesn't happen with anything but Division 2

[north cloak]

#unofficial-troubleshooting

[pulsar remnant]

schwoop

[vague pecan]

I refute that wholeheartedly lol. especially in a group, the scaling makes HH fairly redundant.

[deep blaze]

it could potentially be a hardware issue still (since that sounds extreme) but doesn't get replicated in other games, Div2 does push both GPU but also especially CPU super hard
I'd suggest trying like a Power test in OCCT (that pushes both CPU and GPU to absolute limits) to see how it behaves and whether it passes that in terms of both power and thermal headroom, quick indicator for that

[vague pecan]

and DB isn't meta at all.. it's just that the synergy is far greater with negos, and if you hit heads at the same time then that's just a bonus
