[full jay]

Wait, Catharsis isn't in the targeted loot pool?

[rough sleet]

it is if you have the blueprint, if you don't then no (according to some sources)

[full jay]

So my farming for one for weeks has been a waste of time

[rough sleet]

if you've don't have the blueprint then, yeah, possibly. that's only TL pool though, not in regards to exotic cache pool.

[full jay]

Wow...

[opal radish]

got a new error code foxtrot

[sterile ferry]

you can group up with someone who already has the blueprint, theycan farm it and give it to you

[ruby yoke]

And what is catharsis bp source?

[rough sleet]

was a season reward I think (honestly not sure)....let me check

the mask was a season 9 reward according to google, then assuming when you got mask you either got blueprint or could buy blueprint from inaya or w/e at crafting table

[tender wave]

likely now you have to get it from an exotic cache first, then you can buy blueprint

[rough sleet]

sounds about right honestly

[ruby yoke]

So a new player can get it only via exo cache? Even a random drop from open world isn’t possible?

[rough sleet]

not sure about that one, the dude didn't specify an open world drop, just said there was still a blueprint requirement attached to it in regards to target loot drops

[opal radish]

catharsis is a random drop no tl i got mine that way since i skipped the season

[finite hare]

Nice

[azure lintel]

Ay

[boreal pilot]

bro, i've been searching everywhere, but i can't find out how to get the future initiative gloves. (they DO exist.. right?)

[molten spire]

Target loot the set?

[kind veldt]

Yeah just look where they are droping today or use countdown/summit

[small spear]

just target loot FI

[real creek]

Could also craft them if you've done the project in IH to have them craftable.

[frozen meadow]

you need them to finish the project tho

[real creek]

Eh they could have had tons of them until wanting to finally make a build. Who knows. All I know is they don't have them right now and that's a way to get them.

[azure lintel]

Why do my challenges keep resetting back to challenge 1? I've completed like ten of them now but I am stuck on challenge 1 again. Such bs

[molten spire]

as in the counter never counts up to 2/5 challenges, that sort of thing?

[azure lintel]

I was just at 4/5 and now I am back to 1/5

I thought you just had to do any random 5 and you get the Capacitor

[tender wave]

did you complete floor 100? That will reset challenges

[azure lintel]

No I just keep going 1-5

[tender wave]

just floors 1-5? I guess resetting back to floor 1 will do the same thing then, best continue on a bit (it won't get significantly harder)

[azure lintel]

So you need to do the challenges while climbing floors?

Didn't know that. I thought you can reset back to floor 1 and keep your completion....

[tender wave]

the whole point of summit is to climb it floor by floor, so yes

[silent nymph]

Just finished the Lauren league

[rough sleet]

\o/

[tropic compass]

Why doesn't the weekly descent project say how much xp youll get?

[rough sleet]

cause they don't know how to make it do that

just like they don't know how to make it list the actual rewards you get from it....despite saying they would fix it this update.

[rose merlin]

does anyone know why division 2 wont use my nvidia gpu?

[opal radish]

select nvidia gpu from nvidia control pannel

are you sure you have driver installed?

[rose merlin]

i tried that; also tried changing it in window's controls. the driver is installed

[opal radish]

using a laptop?

[rose merlin]

it's a laptop hooked up to 2 external monitors

[opal radish]

than it is simple

the connection must be to igpu

put the monitor with with the port that is directly attached with nvidia gpu

[rose merlin]

not the issue. the laptop & the monitor i use to game are on my dedicated gpu, not my igpu. i checked

[opal radish]

does it works on laptop screen with nvidia gpu?

[rose merlin]

i havent checked, ill check now

[rose merlin]

seems like it might be working on my original monitor now. not sure what changed, didnt touch anything

[opal radish]

lol

[rose merlin]

this laptop is HELLA weird with games

[opal radish]

wrong port is the only bet

[fallen zenith]

Meow

[broken solstice]

runs fine on my nvidia gpu laptop

[indigo marten]

Why did they make the summit

Were they not thinking at all when they made floor 100

[kind veldt]

summit is weird because it was rushed then redesigned

so some clashing aspects

if anything floor 100 is the only interesting thing on it

[willow dagger]

Is it wise to go to DZ if im at lvl 30?

Or will i get ruined by lvk 40s

[tender wave]

it's a different dz, so it'll likely be a lot quieter

[magic maple]

I wonder where those black tusk osprey go?

[haughty siren]

This game yo.

[wind sparrow]

Hello! Where do I get the exotic m4 assault rifle? I forgot what it was called im sorry

[echo thorn]

have they added crossplay yet

[wind radish]

anyone know how i can make a stronghold be invaded for a challange?

[surreal orbit]

Nope, and probably never will

[surreal orbit]

This week it’s the zoo and tidal basin, so those are the only options

[wind radish]

alr forgot zoo was a stronghold

dont think tidal basin counts since i just did it and it didint complete and its always gonna be black tusk there

[surreal orbit]

Technically it’s a stronghold, be sure it was set to the right difficulty

[wind radish]

yes but its not invaded

[tender wave]

St Elmo's, it's given when you reach season level 90

[wind sparrow]

Thank you!!

[broken plume]

Huh.... jumped into Descent, and first enemy type were cleaners

Was that an update they didn't put in the patch notes? Every other Descent I've ran has always started True Sons in loop 1, Cleaners in loop 2

[wind sparrow]

Whats the other exotic m4 from that 1 raid? I think it was dark horse or something

Im bad, i will ask in the ask td2 community thank you all!!

[rough sleet]

Yeah, that was changed around a bit for solo players

[vernal hatch]

Can someone help me farm catharsis mask please 🙏🥺

[finite hare]

I wish I had that mask too lowkey

I’ll eventually get it

[vernal hatch]

Ye I been farming so much count down and still hadn't got it

[barren tiger]

you know what i currently love is that one of the league activities is burn hostiles and equip the firewall spec and doing missions that have cleaners

[frozen meadow]

dark hours; eagle bearer

[hexed sentinel]

Damn when are we gonna send memes in this server

Can i send it in #fanart-and-photomode or isnt it not allowed

[sterile ferry]

i thought eagle bearer was a p416?

for some reason

[hexed sentinel]

Different fire rate

[willow dagger]

Why is this game so amazing???

I thought i just beat main game

Then theres NG+ with new enemies

[frozen meadow]

what is ng+

[sterile ferry]

new game plus?

the game doesnt have ng+?

technically you can replay anything at anytime

[neon wyvern]

side missions:

[sterile ferry]

right

[valid compass]

cant connect to ubisoft services?

[halcyon radish]

Yup, disconnected from my game too

[valid compass]

yea, acting weird for sure

[fossil flax]

Is there anyone needing an extra body for a raid or DZ grind?

[thick zephyr]

So weird.
No issues for weeks and suddenly now disconnecting....

[vocal cloud]

is directive affect the XP received by the gear when leveling for expertise?

[plush forum]

How do I get exotics

[small spear]

no, it is based on kill XP, directives do not affect how much kill XP you get

[vocal cloud]

thx

[fleet adder]

Most drop randomly/targetted loot drop sources. Some are tied to projects/quests

[plush forum]

Do I need the New York dlc thing to do the dark hours stuff?

[iron token]

If you could get rid of one type of mob what would it be? I'd vote for controllers. They do too much dmg for a mob you can't see since they are hiding

[opal radish]

drone operator

[oak prawn]

Spamming SOBs

Tryna repair my armor next thing ik I got 3 drones coming at me

[sturdy pagoda]

Is level booster/boosting illegal in this server? Trying to save my sister from being taken by the state

[fleet adder]

I don't believe so

[plush forum]

So how do I do dark hours?

[opal radish]

with a group on normal difficulty

[plush forum]

What?

I play with my fiancé and brother and alone in general on normal difficulty

[small spear]

you definitely need 8 people coordinated to do it

it's not your typical mission

[plush forum]

So how do I get to said mission

[small spear]

again, it's a raid, not a mission, but you can talk to the pilot at the helipad at the white house, when you get there go to the right side and go up the helipad

[plush forum]

I’ve tried talking to the pilot, the one agent kelps is next to, right? And when I click okay, it brings me to the shop for the New York expansion

[opal radish]

you don't have the expansion?

[plush forum]

Of course not

Why would I buy an expansion for a game that I downloaded from ps plus not knowing if I’d like it or not

[small spear]

no, that's the pilot behind you, not to the right

[opal radish]

aren't raid locked behind expansion?

[small spear]

you can do lv30 raids

[iron token]

Character got glicthed out of map after fast traveling to pilot. Got me in an infinite reloading loop

[small spear]

raids are there before wony

[opal radish]

iron horse too?

[small spear]

even IH can be run at lv30

[opal radish]

nice

[plush forum]

I see no other pilot near the helipad at the White House

[small spear]

have you gotten to lv30 yet?

[iron token]

Even after exiting game and re entering my game still glitches out of map....

[plush forum]

Lvl 25 as we speak

[small spear]

then you can't do it yet

it's meant for endgame

[plush forum]

Ah, so once I hit lvl 30 then I get said pilot

Damn, I literally just got to the settlement to the west

I only have 17/33 main missions done

[iron token]

I still remember on release there was 6 talent slots. It was crazy putting them all together lol

[plush forum]

Sounds OP as hell

[quartz sedge]

Is there a better spot for finding squads for raids?

[hybrid ore]

@quartz sedge #lfg-raid-pc is it for this Server.
There's the unofficial Server too, I'm sure you can find that with a quick google.

[acoustic plume]

i always lol in that mission where ellis gets mad black tusks codename for him is chickenhawk

[shrewd dawn]

Are legendary Strongholds worth their time?

[oak prawn]

if you want some exleusive cosmetics and a exotic AR then yes

[shrewd dawn]

What is chances for this AR?

[shrewd dawn]

Are the*

[halcyon radish]

Yup, for the loot quality and more challenging

[upper oriole]

[oak prawn]

low

[opal radish]

it's not that low when compared to other

it's like 5-6% chance to drop in legendary but can drop randomly from npcs but only legendary

[small spear]

5% per legendary boss

[opaque lion]

No one's playing countdown rn?

[hybrid ore]

Reset hits in about 40 minutes, but I'm sure there's still teams running ingame.
Try auto-matchmaking for it on Challenging.

[opaque lion]

I had queues instantly matched minutes ago, it's been 30mins and nothing

[hybrid ore]

Double check your matchmaking settings in the social menu. Make sure it's set to open.

Otherwise no idea.

[full zinc]

Shouldnt affect. My group is always set to private and I matched all night no issues. It was active all night I was mm. Probably just falloff before reset

[unborn ravine]

The best of times. So many fun builds for all the damages.

[opaque lion]

I think i found the issue

I waited out the reset by playing a mission and it was delayed by like a sec

Turns out i have 150-200ms, restarting the game worked.

[timber bloom]

Anyone laggy after last update? 🤔

[opal radish]

yup they f*d the performance in 18.2 for low end pcs

[timber bloom]

I'm on my Steam Deck and never had lag before.

Its not too bad, but they need to fix that shit.

[opaque lion]

Network or game? Rn it's just network

[timber bloom]

What do you mean network

[opaque lion]

Latency

[timber bloom]

Oh gotcha

That seems like what I'm experiencing

[daring kayak]

Is there a crossplay for PC and PS4?

Wanted to play with a friend who plays on console

[molten spire]

No

[ruby yoke]

Ps players are enjoying div2 version without crashes, cheats and other sh1t though😃

[opal radish]

also have more stuff to buy with textiles

[fiery cloud]

Hey Rivens, local,gogamer

[opal radish]

Hi saph

[haughty siren]

Omg, finally beat the stupid hunter I been trying to kill.

[rough sleet]

\o/

did u kick him a few extra times after u killed him? just because

[rose kraken]

damn they dont crash, absolute luxury

[thorny talon]

Yall console people got your perks

If sony/xbox bought native mnk support for all games would have left for it long ago

[real moth]

We do crash occasionally, mainly in countdown. It happens especially often in turbine after opening the safe.

But overall, yea, fewer crashes for sure.

[opal radish]

i would count that a upgrade from us pc players plus i don't think there are cheaters on console ?

[rose kraken]

beats crashing at the fucking loading screen

or crashing at the same point in a mission 3 times in a row

[shrewd dawn]

Has someone advice how to get best rolled heart braker set?

[tender notch]

same as anything, farm its target loot, its still RNG. best place is countdown or summit

[shrewd dawn]

Which is faster in your opinion?

[opal radish]

countdown by miles

more pcs/time

[tender notch]

well boss farm on summit is faster but borning AF, also can do it on legendary and directives

if you dont do boss farm, then yea countdown.

[real creek]

I personally find open world heroic the best way to get max rolls for most of my gear. If it's a quality vs quantity thing that is.

[tender notch]

open world is slower

summit and countdown both have much higher loot per hour then open world and in turn have higher quality loot. since loot is RNG drops still

[real creek]

Quality of loot is higher in my experience. If you are going to a gear set that isn't skill I feel like you could get a perfect set quicker.

[tender notch]

1 to 1 quality is exactly the same with all 3.

[real creek]

Idk I feel like I do countdown and never get max rolls sometimes.

[tender notch]

loot in heroic open world or heroic summit or challenging countdown are exactly the same loot table (all roll at heroic quality table)

since those 3 are exactly the same loot table, then summit/ countdown are much better for loot because its same quality but much more loot per hour then open world.

[clever sparrow]

neat

just got coyote, finally can pair with nego haha

[shrewd dawn]

Thanks for advice

[clever sparrow]

do anyone got dc?

i think my countdown just got weird stuff happening

[frozen meadow]

so what were incursions like in d1

[fiery cloud]

Hey Vsvm, Souless, Eevee

[real creek]

What's up? Work soon or you off gaming for the day?

[rough sleet]

they were like waves of enemies with very few mechanics involved honestly. like, defend this area...ok press a button....defend this area....avoid this damage...press button again...rinse repeat til it was over. with a few small leadup rooms in process (like this was the cleaners dragon nest incursion practically)

[frozen meadow]

so... anderson lmfao

[rough sleet]

yeah I mean, there wasn't a lot to them honestly

some were fun though, unique environments and such ofcourse

[frozen meadow]

i remember hearing something about carrying a box across a turret lined field?

[sterile ferry]

clear sky

[rough sleet]

clear sky possibly, the batteries or we

[frozen meadow]

idk i never did any of them lol

[sterile ferry]

kinda hard solo

[rough sleet]

i forgot name of the riker one with the movie studio that the one descent stage always reminds me of....

[sterile ferry]

stolen signal

[rough sleet]

yes, that one

[frozen meadow]

i wanna get back into d1 at some point but the ui is so.... blehg

[rough sleet]

that one was interesting, shielding the hostages and shit

[sterile ferry]

thinknh you got it right but turns out theres one millimeter where the bullets can go through

[frozen meadow]

what do you think this new one could be

[opal radish]

best mission with final measure and a healer box

[rough sleet]

new one is us trying to recover the prototype bottle of Merets new cologne D51 before it gets burned up with the rest of the estate. 😂

[frozen meadow]

damn shields are really useless without shield health

[frozen meadow]

is it actually

[opal radish]

lol

[rough sleet]

oh god if it was I'd die laughing....hey, our agents gotta stay smelling good ya know. can't have no stinky heroes

[frozen meadow]

lmao

wait the new dlc is brooklyn right

[hybrid ore]

It appears to be, judging by the image of the Brooklyn bridge we have.

[frozen meadow]

i thought there was some official confirmation

anyways what the hell does "back to ny" mean in that case lol

[hybrid ore]

Well in the story, we haven't been to NYC since the last Manhunt there.

which is what, Coney Island AP?

[frozen meadow]

wdym "the last manhunt"

[opal radish]

going to be a dragon nest repeat

[frozen meadow]

ah

i mean if you8 wanna be real we didnt technically do fuck all in coney

[hybrid ore]

Oh sure, but even so it's closer to NYC than anything we've canonically done since.

[frozen meadow]

jupiter

hornet

[hybrid ore]

Coney Island AP was the 4th one, the previous 3 were, ya know, previous.

[frozen meadow]

im saying i wouldnt consider it "back to ny"

and the last since "back to ny" was ever relevant was hornet

[hybrid ore]

Sure Hornet then, any way you look at it, it's still returning after a long period away.
so "back to ny" makes sense.

[frozen meadow]

why would we be going back there though

[keen lily]

What about the missing blueprints? I'm still missing some weapon, backpack and chest blueprint and i don't get them rewarded with control points

[hybrid ore]

Because the next DLC is supposedly set there.
If you're asking about the exact plot of said DLC, I'm not psychic but I assume it's going to be related to BT and the Hunters in some way, likely the reactor too.

[hybrid ore]

Not everything ingame has a Blueprint. The Crafting Table lists pretty much all available ones and where you can farm them out.

[sterile ferry]

some blueprints are tied to seasonal reward tracks

im you missed them, theyre gone

[fiery cloud]

@real creek gonna be killin badguys as soon as i can get game to load

[keen lily]

Are Grupo backpack and Fenris backpack seasonal rewards?

[real creek]

Wai you break game?

[sterile ferry]

those just dont exist

[keen lily]

Makes sense

[sterile ferry]

you gotta farm for the actual item

[keen lily]

Is there a way to see which blueprints i'm missing?

[fiery cloud]

look at your bench

[sterile ferry]

not sure. keep doing lvl 3 CPs until you stop getting them

[hybrid ore]

^

[frozen meadow]

descent rewards them

[frozen meadow]

^

crafting table doesnt list descent blueprints

it just says youre missing them without telling you which

[keen lily]

Do any of you guys have all blueprints? 414?

[frozen meadow]

i dont think anyone does

if youre constantly doing descent, its a 12% chance every 30 minutes

[hybrid ore]

That's likely because Descent was just added.
but either way, they're not part of the CP farm so likely not what they had in mind when they started to farm.

[rough sleet]

my RNG sucks 😢 last 20+ runs no reconstruction cache....sad times....

brb, gonna sacrifice one of yall to lootcifer to raise my luck....

[frozen meadow]

take buddha

[hybrid ore]

Not counting Descent, I'm pretty sure I'd have them all.
Granted, I'd probably have the Descent ones too by now if my PC wasn't deader than disco.

[frozen meadow]

or azur he probably will raise the rng best

[rough sleet]

haha, truth

and oof, not bad Rivens. I'm too lazy I'm still missing all the raid blueprints

[hybrid ore]

Don't take Azur, they're the only math nerd I like.

well, one of the 5.

[rough sleet]

gotta keep the number crunchers around, they're useful

[fiery cloud]

got game to fire up

[frozen meadow]

id farm descent if i had someone else to farm with tbh tbh

[fiery cloud]

ive never completed decent

[rough sleet]

rly?

[fiery cloud]

yup

[frozen meadow]

wanna do that rn saph

[rough sleet]

nb4 Saph gets reconst cache on first try

[fiery cloud]

in a little bit

[frozen meadow]

lol

[keen lily]

I finished it once but i didn’t liked it

[frozen meadow]

how long is "a little bit"

[fiery cloud]

gotta get my drugs

[frozen meadow]

guess youll never get every blueprint and always be missing comms

[fiery cloud]

1pm est

[rough sleet]

i still find the comms funny af

[hybrid ore]

I'm tempted to promise to join, but you'll be waiting another few weeks at least.

[frozen meadow]

Lol

[rough sleet]

especially the one about the briefcase, lmfao

[frozen meadow]

It's a briefcase

[rough sleet]

THAT.....is a briefcase....

[sterile ferry]

me when i see a briefcase:

[opal radish]

from capitol?

[sterile ferry]

descent comms

[frozen meadow]

Tell me you don't play descent without telling me you don't play descent

[frozen meadow]

Yeah but what would be happening in ny to set up the dlc 🤔

[opal radish]

i defeated nemisis first time with you

[frozen meadow]

That's why I said "don't play" rather than "never played"

[opal radish]

delta and crashes

[frozen meadow]

/shrug I don't

Fuck

Stupid discord

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[opal radish]

lol

[sterile ferry]

lmfao

[hybrid ore]

Contrivances.

[rough sleet]

we return to NY to take back the original BOO from Div1 since it's now being overrun. We find our old agents body dead in the ruins of what once was. \o/

[sterile ferry]

i hope the safe house from div1 is included in the brooklyn dlc

[opal radish]

none were left

[frozen meadow]

Overrun by what or who

[rough sleet]

tune in next time to find out! don't forget to smash that subscribe button on the way out

[sterile ferry]

rikers raided it

[hybrid ore]

Overrun by a chemical bomb that killed everyone.

[frozen meadow]

Nah

Cuz the first eclipse strike was the city hall

[rough sleet]

black tusk got smart and took a train through the UG and raided the original BoO from the inside....

[hybrid ore]

Since apparently the gas isn't deadly anymore with Castle being retaken so any danger from the chems are gone, let's just walk right in and take it back.
All those people who died in the DZ were just faking it.

[frozen meadow]

Mortar strike (not chemical) from the few remaining LMB, who after destroying the BOO opted to join the BT

[molten spire]

Stolen Signal is in XDefiant and it's still pretty surreal to blast through there

[frozen meadow]

I think you ignored the "extensive decontamination efforts" part of the story lol

[sterile ferry]

many division maps are in XDefiant

[hybrid ore]

If they can decontaminate the poison and the DZ is notably full of constantly new supplies dropping and untouched loot, why hasn't anyone tried to retake a section of the city?

[frozen meadow]

Of mid manhattan?

[hybrid ore]

Yes, the poison affected dc-62 that is notably in the NYC DarkZones.

[molten spire]

DZ West: The powder is literally baked into everything in some areas
DZ South: area seems permanently flooded with sewage laced with the stuff
DZ East: lol idk, The Kitchen is probably beyond cleaning up

[frozen meadow]

Probably because it wouldn't be worth decontaminating

[hybrid ore]

The castle literally had mortars full of poison that impacted the earth. If you want to "decontaminate" that, you'd need to excavate every single square inch of dirt within a massive radius around it, making it entirely redundant to retake, and much easier to just take over a stronghold yourself.
Actually, why didn't we just take DUA? It's already empty and well defended.

[sterile ferry]

plus, the choke is full of true sons. they wouldnt just let people walk into the castle and do shit

[molten spire]

Lower Manhattan beyond the City Hall area is a former Dark Zone area that got "opened up", so it seems like the issue is the level of DC-62 deployment in the DC Dark Zones compared to everywhere else that isn't The Choke, which also has civilian militia types or faction types standing unprotected around massive amounts of DC-62 barrels and leaking powder

[frozen meadow]

Because canon

[hybrid ore]

I'm going to stop before I say something I can't take back about the current state of the div2 lore, but I don't care for it.

[molten spire]

DUA is also set up for an indoor drug farm instead of crops or plants of a more practical sort

[frozen meadow]

Also it's worthless to take over the dz. It's walled off lol and theyll just stop sending supplies

[molten spire]

and you know, the areas that are full of filled body bags that the Hyenas couldn't be bothered to toss out

[sterile ferry]

and why not take over the capitol, use the sam turrets to knock out black tusk choppers

[rough sleet]

you're thinking too logically....

logic DENIED!

[molten spire]

It is implied that BT rolled in and took over everywhere at once after Ridgeway bites it

[opal radish]

lmao

[sterile ferry]

also when we got the briefcase during the attack on capitol, why didnt we just walk back the way we came from? why did we have to call in a chopper?

[sterile ferry]

we went there again and kicked out the black tusk during the invasion though

[molten spire]

might get attacked on the way out, which happened anyway

[opal radish]

we should have been extracted along the chopper tbh

[sterile ferry]

our second objective was killing ridgeway

[opal radish]

just used missiles on him from heli

[frozen meadow]

Because it's normally not convenient to run in front of an auto cannon and mortars on the way out

[sterile ferry]

we took out the people operating those

[molten spire]

also the White House medbay fills up near immediately after the BT invasion arc starts, so it's unlikely that the settlements would have fared better in a direct fight

[frozen meadow]

So the building is empty?

[opal radish]

yes?

[sterile ferry]

no, but the way we came from is clear, plus we have civilians at the entrance who coverd us with our own mortars

[frozen meadow]

Those civilians had a temporary smokescreen lol

That's all. It was temporary. Its gone

[acoustic plume]

you kill like 9000 true sons

[sterile ferry]

we intracted with a laptop to use the cannon for ourselves, surely it wouldnt be a treat anymore

[acoustic plume]

And walk back out the front door

[opal radish]

well that us something i alwy wonder

we have tidal basin mortar when we go after wyvern

we just left them there

[sterile ferry]

also when we wanted to take out the sam launcher, why did we spent 10 minutes trying to hack the radars when we could just pull out a c4 out of our asses (we seem to have infinite) and blow up the launcher

[rough sleet]

we left the mortar at Coney for a long time....

[sterile ferry]

where did castle get one of those

[rough sleet]

isn't that the one from Coney? after Sparkles fight we finally took it back?

[sterile ferry]

and why cant we request for a mortar strike

[sterile ferry]

wasnt that mortar cntaminated? thats how stovepipe died?

[acoustic plume]

budget

[rough sleet]

so the hovercraft full of black tusk just decided to sail away after blowing up their special warhound and marauders instead of ending us instead....

[acoustic plume]

Used up all your mortar strikes for this fiscal quarter

[sterile ferry]

tom clancy is spinning in his grave right now...poor guy

speak of the devil

[acoustic plume]

hes still writing books

somehow

[rough sleet]

he sold those rights long ago....

[tender wave]

The whole contaminated thing was a misdirect, stovepipe had his throat slit by a hunter

[sterile ferry]

was it actually

[molten spire]

the ghostwriter he was relying on for the last few novels got hired to write continuation novels using the Tom Clancy**'s** name

[rough sleet]

what if this entire game is just a simulation in descent? 🤔 this was all a test to see how everything would fare out in this situation....

MIND...BLOWN....

poof

lol

[acoustic plume]

thats the plot of metal gear solid 2

[molten spire]

Maybe someday I'll actually touch the couple I got from the book clearance place, but I strongly dislike the "real world reboot" the Ryan books got after Clancy wrote himself into a corner by having Ryan fix literally everything, forever

Was it a tremendously silly situation caused by Clancy's editors allowing him to openly put his political beliefs in the books? Yes. Is it a good point to end it on? Also yes, precisely because it's a dead end for possible conflicts

[frozen meadow]

I just realized the manhunt mission next season has a stupid high likelihood of being either the incursion or liberty island

[sterile ferry]

we already know where the incursion takes place though

i think morten said it in the stream

[rough sleet]

yeah, the meret estate or something?

[sterile ferry]

yeah i think so

[frozen meadow]

If countdown can be a manhunt so can incursion

[azure lintel]

What’s a nice enemy dense area to rack up some burn #’s?

For the league

[rough sleet]

I would just do outcast activities (spawns are nice) and just pop grenade bags and suicider vests left and right to end it quick

[broken cloud]

any of the missins inside buildings

[wind swan]

Hey folks, is it better to sell or deconstruct while leveling? Im level 8 right now.

[broken cloud]

decons, you dont need cash

[wind swan]

Okay thanks

[timber hatch]

Level 8, not 40 shd 8 right?

[wind swan]

Level 8 yeah

[broken cloud]

Yeah Z, cash is ur last problem at the mo, get lootin and decons the loot to get crafting for weapon addons etc.

[timber hatch]

Your not really going to get any materials from deconstructing low level gear though. Look to donate junk gear to projects, but outside that you mind as well sell them since you at least get something vs nothing, but it doesn't make much difference either way

[wind swan]

Ah okay, thank you both. As far as missions go should I focus on the main missions or side missions, what about the “Warlords of New York (Expansion)” missions? I have one called Keener Manhunt

[timber hatch]

Missions give a fixed amount of exp scaled to the recommended level requirement of the mission, and side mission will always give you 1/3 of the exp needed to level at your current level. So ideally you run missions whenever your able, and use side missions to level the gaps between

Warlords is the dlc expansion that's after the DC main story. If you start it you'll auto skip the whole DC story campaign, be scaled to level 30 WT5, and you'll be locked out of returning to DC (on that character) until you complete the dlc story.

[wind swan]

Ahh okay, good to know, thanks again!

[broken cloud]

Yep DC first and then NY otherwise as Raucey said you will be locked out of DC until u kill Keaner

[ruby yoke]

Don’t you locked in NY between lvl 30 and 40 anyway? I mean whenever you start warlords dlc you can’t get back to dc until it’s first cleared?

[valid compass]

If I go to the DZ and die - do I lose everything I had on me?

[ruby yoke]

No - only that gear you got in your dz run

[valid compass]

k - thx!

[tender wave]

just running the 4 league speedruns with a firespreader build will get you to 10 in 5 of the 6 categories (even if you switch to dps for the wall street apc fight and the final dragov fight)

[acoustic plume]

you can be level 30 and stay in DC

[ruby yoke]

Also you don’t really “lose” it. If you killed by a rogue agent - he can take your bag with gear. But if you killed by npc - you can always get back to that spot and get your gear again (if noone steal it till that time lol)

[ruby yoke]

Original question was if you can get back to dc once you’ve started dlc story line. iirc whenever you start it - you can’t get back to dc until you finish Keaner manhunt on story mode….

[acoustic plume]

Yeah nope ypure locked in NYC

[wind swan]

So I have a main story mission I can’t seem to complete. It requires me to do matchmaking but there’s no one matchmaking for this mission. Is there no way to do it solo?

[rough sleet]

all main missions can be done solo

well, everything outside of stuff like raids, conflict, etc. can be done solo....

[wind swan]

Oh nevermind it seems I was trying to start the mission at the matchmaking point instead of going in

[rough sleet]

👍

[cunning fractal]

Do people still play this? I'm thinking about getting into it

[real creek]

Tons of us do. Idk exact number and I'm not sure if that's something they make public.

[cunning fractal]

Can you ask ubisoft personally

[real creek]

Hey ubisoft I'm personally asking what the player counts look like, if you could format it like steamcharts that would be amazing.

Well now we wait.

[rough sleet]

any tip to farm polycarbonate ?

[somber swift]

is there a channel or anything where poeple are looking for count down groups?

[hazy marsh]

What’s the best way to fight hunters in the open world for their masks and ivory keys? I get nuked instantly by them.

[oak prawn]

Normal open world with foam

And a dps build

[tender notch]

can do it easy with just a dps build and scorpio or say DCH 😛

[oak prawn]

Aaa yes the Scorpio or as I like to call it the destroy everything gun

When in doubt Scorpio it out

Need to kill a boss Scorpio
Need to kill robot dogs Scorpio
Need to kill hunters Scorpio

[tender notch]

Scorpio the scorpio?? you guessed it Scorpio

[oak prawn]

They should make an in game ad tryna sell the Scorpio

😂

[small spear]

manning national zoo bosses too tanky? scorpio

[oak prawn]

Are you tired of always dying , do you want a shotgun that can do it all? Well now you can with the Scorpio, this shotgun is your ticket to the easy life, with its perk that shocks and poisons the enemy pair it with riot foam you got an unstoppable shotgun. You can own yours for the low low price of 15.99 plus shipping and handling

[tender notch]

🤣

"did your scorpio run outta of bullets, well NO problem! just grab it like a bat n start swinging !"

[low flame]

16 bucks? These damn kids with their “inflation” and making everything expensive!

[oak prawn]

When you purchase a Scorpio we will also throw in a free godroll weapon of your choice

[oak prawn]

Strike 1

[magic atlas]

Vile sold seperately

[plain trail]

we doing things like bungie now

[acoustic plume]

the heavy rikers that put up the mounted gun shields going "you look like an ass hole hiding behind a shield" when you use yours is lol

[sterile phoenix]

The NPC that has me laughing so hard the season vendor at the white house. She says the most offhand stuff to the dude with glasses when you walk buy.

[acoustic plume]

have you trie doing emotes in front of him?

[sterile phoenix]

lol no

[acoustic plume]

he says some pretty funny stuff

[sterile phoenix]

Haha. I did a dance emote the the girl asked me if I was on something and then could she have some. Devs funny!

[acoustic plume]

i didnt even know npcs reacted to emotes until i did it accidentally in front of him

[inner elbow]

"wah wah wah wah
Sorry I needed to clear my throat"

[dapper wave]

Btw i just find how to make materials and other

Making a new charater and do the dlc

[hexed sentinel]

I wanna spend my textiles

i feel like i've bought everything

[lime anvil]

I've been doing a lot of side by side comparison with the Tsunami and the Enforcer. They are both awesome shotguns. One has one more round, more than 200k more dps but, waaay more bloom/spread. The Enforcer can be breach loaded one round at a time in a semiauto. that alone will save your life over and over. Enforcer wins all day long.

[unreal tartan]

Shout out the blk clan for reminding me how op the emp sticky is

[acoustic plume]

woo got my 2nd st elmos on my first countdown run

[sterile phoenix]

Now you got to play the reroll game with it 🙂

[acoustic plume]

yeah lol

[sterile phoenix]

one of my mates was like 28 to get that 3rd attr

[acoustic plume]

got it on 8th wooo

[surreal orbit]

Have 3, max was 6 rolls

[acoustic plume]

skinny puppy lyric in one of the item descriptions, wasnt expecting that

but i guess there's the gun named after a marilyn manson album and the backpack named after a gary numan lyric

who is the goth item designer

[sterile ferry]

Some CPs like navy plaza and construction site? (Forgot the exact name) are easier to defend since all the npcs spawn next to each other

I usually avoid washington monument cause theres not much room for cover and you can easily be flanked

[knotty quail]

Standard strat, keep at it

[tender wave]

For hotshot builds outcast cps are easiest because none of the standard enemies have helmets, sleeping giant is a good one (close to a safehouse and good layout for sniping)

[rich shadow]

you dont need to worry about helmets with Determined tho right

[glacial oar]

Can u guys tell me what the game means by, SHD Skill Kills ? For Lauren League...

[rich shadow]

Kill stuff with skills

[tender wave]

You do, hitting a helmeted enemy anywhere on their body will break their helmet and lose you both your determined and headhunter buffs. Obviously it's not too hard to get them back, but it can still slow you down.

[rich shadow]

ahhhhh. makes sense. Determined is kinda broken tbh

[silent nymph]

man i hope once mitchell drop's and we go and save mari i hope her mission won't be a letdown like anderson and stovepipe's one we're

[rich shadow]

Why do you think they were a let-down?

[silent nymph]

well i was hoping when i first played the anderson mission i was expecting to not only save lewis but to either kill anderson or to capture him as well and same can be said for stovepipe as well cause he looked like he can be challenging foe here

[rich shadow]

ahhh from a story perspective. I don't much care for the story tbh, but I found the missions quite fun to play through

[glacial oar]

Did they said something about a new expansion ?

[silent nymph]

well for season 4 in year 5 we will have one

and we will go to broklyn

[glacial oar]

Officialy confirmed ?

[silent nymph]

well yes it was confirmed that we will get an expansion kinda like wony did here

#division-tweets message

here it's what i think

[glacial oar]

When will that be, more precisely ?

[silent nymph]

well it might the on the other side of the mahattan bridge

[glacial oar]

So like, 3 seasson from now....?

[silent nymph]

well yes but after season 4 in year 5 they will do a season 2.0 here

as for season 3 we might be heading back to ny to uncover the past of keener and the other rogue's here

[gaunt bough]

IH raid need 1 anyone in?

[slow topaz]

Tried conflict today, it was quite fun. Except it was so horrible as a new level 30 lmao. Everyone melts you with st elmo’s engine, and has heaps of armour.

2 PVP activities, conflict & dark zone, Where division 1 had survival, dz, skirmish, last stand.

PVE is definitely the bomb in this game. Those stronghold captures at the end of the campaign were amazing

[timber hatch]

the way the scaling at 30 works, you'll just have no chance in conflict at 30

you really need to get to 40 and get a pvp build setup for conflict

[ruby yoke]

Don’t forget to play all historical manhunts. Probably the best pve activity this game has imo (from the storyline sight of view).

[opal radish]

also for the rewards some are amazing

[wispy heron]

Can't i unscope on snipers like in the previous game?

[tender wave]

Only by removing the scope from the gun altogether

[slow topaz]

They should make this game crossplatform with console.

Having those useless google stadia and whatever platforms crossplay with pc is pointless, make ps4 and xbox xplay with pc.

[slow topaz]

Thanks

[opal radish]

no that would be unfair for consoles and pc too console crossplay should be fine like xbox and ps same time

[acoustic plume]

it works fine in a lot of games

[real creek]

I don't get what would be unfair anyway. Console players can hook up keyboard and mouse and the only thing they have worse is load times.

[opal radish]

for pc players we have stability issue

[opal radish]

does m&k even work without proper support

consoles have hacker free pvp

[ruby yoke]

I play on ps + 75 inch tv. Can’t imagine playing with keyboard+mouse 🤣

[opal radish]

try on pc and you will see a good game becoming sh!t experience sometimes

[full zinc]

Depends on the pc, ymmv. Personally it's been better for me and countdown has been running smooth. I think they've been making improvements compared to a couple seasons ago

[tender wave]

The way the game is set up right now, it'd be a huge job to add crossplay - they've said it would require them to completely rebuild the server backend.

[real creek]

Personally I don't crash at all. I only take issue with leaderboards as a speed runner and I don't really pvp.

[opal radish]

i really don't want more problems than we get with seasons

[tender wave]

Yeah with the current team's track record in introducing bugs it'd be a risky thing to try

[timber hatch]

Load times really just depend on your hard drive. The next gen consoles will load as fast as any PC, and an old gen consoles will be as slow as a slow PC without an SSD

[real creek]

Eh idk if I find this to be true tho. Even sata 6 SSDs can load faster than pci 4 NVME drives.

I think it has to do with something else hardware/connection wise.

Could also be cache sizes of CPU or some dumb thing but really I'd have to get a bunch of different hardware and do TONS of testing to really come to a conclusion.

[opal radish]

sata 3 you nean ?

[real creek]

sata 3 is the version but some call it sata 6 because it's 6 gigs of transfer.

[opal radish]

yeah i use one my laptop doesn't have an m.2 slot

it was shown in the manual but it was not there🥲

for pcs we have tons of combo someone might be running raid 0

[timber hatch]

I havent done any extensive testing or anything, but just from doing open doors on PC and PSN the load times into it are both right in the same ballpark. In both cases people are all in roughly at 4-8 seconds

[opal radish]

ps4 or 5?

[real creek]

The only constant you have to go off would be your network connection then which could be a bottle neck. Like I say it's hard to know.

[timber hatch]

PS5 for myself. We have someone who has a PS4 with an SSD, although I have no idea what kind/quality. His loads are slightly worse than ours, but nothing drastic and can end up being the first in since its pretty random

[opal radish]

yeah it depends on rng sometimes i think tbh

[timber hatch]

his inconsistent load is really similar to my PC load tbh since my PC is aging quite a bit at this point

[opal radish]

i have a potato laptop

i am suprised the game even runs tbh

[timber hatch]

yeah, network connection definitely plays a part (aka ronin), but if you ever try to play with someone without an SSD its so noticeable. They will literally take nearly 30 seconds for a load

[real creek]

I feel like my load times are always super good when doing speeds. I do have my own modem and a router with custom firmware, I also have a really nice PC. When you were subbing you saw, I was almost always in first top three.

[opal radish]

i used to have hdd i waited for 1&2 minutes sometimes they were slow af

[fiery cloud]

Hey Raucey, Souless,Gogamer, Local

[opal radish]

Hi saph

[real creek]

It's almost the weekend for me!

[fiery cloud]

Nope I work on the weekend

[ocean plank]

Is anyone else having trouble accessing The Division 2?

[full zinc]

Morning Saph

[opal radish]

oh so meant local for you i thought he meant local residents of the server

[fiery cloud]

@ocean plank I had to reinstall the game to clear it

[cloud flume]

After hours of trying, im convinced that I cannot get the ghost hunter mask due to bugs. I've followed the walkthroughs down to a T, and for whatever reason it still doesn't register me doing the emote at the grave sites

[opal radish]

remove directives just in case

[cloud flume]

no directives on in the first place

[opal radish]

pray to the game 🙏

[real creek]

Do you get the little glitch thing when you salute?

[cloud flume]

no. nothing

[opal radish]

i think you have to shoot the lights afaik at night

[real creek]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTbSKnPHAaU

[opal radish]

before salute

[round token]

Question, is Jefferson Trade Center the only way to get Coyote's mask for the first time? Done like 16 runs and keep getting Sawyers Kneepads

[opal radish]

no farmable in countdown

[real creek]

No light just press button, salute sites, go back to button, spawn hunter.

That vid is a no frills guide on it. It's been years so I needed a memory refresh

[round token]

What would you say is the better way to try and Farm it, never done Countdown before

[full zinc]

Did you have st elmo exotic ar equipped? I remember a couple ppl mentioning that they had issues with it, and when they stashed st elmo and used a different ar that it worked. I dont remember if it was the same hunters you were working on. I havent ran into myself

[cloud flume]

No, the only exotic im running is Scorpio

[full zinc]

Yeah non issue then

[rough sleet]

do you have any directives active? mainly fragile armor? (not saying this is cause but now I'm curious)

[cloud flume]

they werent on to begin with

[rough sleet]

just curious, I know fragile armor breaks an emote interaction during a certain mission, wasn't sure if it also break some emote interaction in open world so had to ask.

[full zinc]

I remember doing this one as a group and we just had an agent at each grave. 1 agent hit the computer and same agent fast traveled to each site and did salutes.
Are you doing solo or group.

[glacial oar]

Guys

[cloud flume]

solo

[glacial oar]

I dont get. Have hardire set and fire turret

Can i direct the fire for one target only ? Cuz when i place it down, it just spins randomly

Must be something that i dont know

[full zinc]

It has a set arc I believe , overcharge may be a bit more

Is that what your using to trigger the feedback loop

[opal radish]

i did solo everything

[full zinc]

I just wonder if there is a time limit to getting to all the spots then back to the computer

[inner harness]

How long does a playstation/pc raid normally take (dh random people?

[rough sleet]

Towards local: i did it solo, and I'm a slow ass mfer so....time limit would be very generous....think it's just as long as you do it before the spawn window closes

[real creek]

Could be 20-40 minutes depending on how good everyone is.

[inner harness]

Solid players

Have you guys updated your common strats?

Or do you still do middle, 7-1 etc

[real creek]

Common strats are double down boomer with scorpio, 7-1 or 2-6 with the two doing a prep with regulus DCH OC Achilles pulse, either middle or one shotting BL if you've got someone do to busy little bee and reg shot with OC there too. Just depends on who is there and has the builds.

[inner harness]

Kk

We normally do double downs, 2 kiters and 1 person on each door and 4-4 (healers sub group on dizzy side)

[real creek]

Meh if it's just a random game with whoever I don't have much expectations for strats, I'll ask if anyone has builds to do certain strats and cool if we do or don't it's whatever.

[azure lintel]

Just completed Lauren League 🙌

[glacial oar]

If am very fine with Striker, Elmo and or Scorpio. It melts EVERYTHING

[high panther]

Do Harcore characters only play with other hardcore characters?

[opal radish]

yes

[real creek]

Pretty sure countdown is mixed right?

[hazy marsh]

the named Hunter “Death” decided to run away so I collected 3 out of the 4 Hunter masks. For whatever odd reason, I cannot restart the encounter. Anyone has some tips? Is he still out there roaming around?

[real creek]

Sometimes you can respawn them just might have to wait a couple in game days or you might be stuck waiting for the daily server reset. Other option is to hop into someones game who hasn't done it and they should spawn there.

[inner harness]

Seen them in countdown and stories of them in raids

[real creek]

I know raids are separate but I'm pretty sure countdown is shared because we see people ask what the icon next to their name is an it's always someone from a countdown game.

[inner harness]

Countdown definitely is but I've seen posts on lfg's for people asking for raids

[frozen meadow]

Countdown is mixed yes

I do hardcore countdown with softcore

[timber hatch]

theres a way to get HCs in a regular raid as well

[real creek]

Can they perma die in there?

[timber hatch]

After a solid amount of testing, yes

[real creek]

lol

[rose salmon]

hey what is the best way to get the faction specific materials for upgrading expertise levels for guns?

[frozen meadow]

crafting tbh

[rose salmon]

wait those can be crafted? lol news to me

thanks

[frozen meadow]

yes its just expensive

[rose salmon]

ah I see

[ruby yoke]

What material are you asking about? Can you name it?

[frozen meadow]

mate said faction specific

so like hyena, true sons, outcast, etc.

[opal radish]

bounties give them also

[frozen meadow]

but you can run out of those

[rose salmon]

so when upgrading experitse damage on a gun, one of the mats is the cleaner or hyena labeled ones

@ruby yoke

[ruby yoke]

Ah probably misread.

[frozen meadow]

so 10 cleaners material costs 175 ceramic, 125 titanium, and 50 filament

[rose salmon]

shit these are expensive wow

[ruby yoke]

Just do public executions of needed faction. That will allow you to have endless bounties of that faction and as a reward faction material

[frozen meadow]

just slow that way

[opal radish]

also gives xp so you get shd so you get materials a cycle

[ruby yoke]

Yep but you can’t craft it always anyway. Need to grind some too

[real creek]

Like 500 credits too right?

[open iris]

can anybody help me or guide me through nyc hunters bcs i REALLY wanna get the new masks👀

[frozen meadow]

who gives a shit about that part lmfao

[frozen meadow]

go to the playstation lfg channel

[real creek]

New players struggling to even get the mats are usually poor fyi.

[opal radish]

is all red Vanguard any good ?

i got one with chc/chd

[frozen meadow]

no

[opal radish]

than i will keep it

[final onyx]

its not good lol

[open iris]

there is none bruv

[frozen meadow]

there 100% is

[opal radish]

🤣 🤣

[frozen meadow]

it should say either lfg-playstation or lfg-console

[opal radish]

#lfg-playstation

[frozen meadow]

im gonna assume thats the right link

[real creek]

I'm not at home or gonna grab those roles but yeah they exist.

[open iris]

why df is it all the way at the BOTTOM? god dayumm

[opal radish]

you don't trust me a bit 💔

[frozen meadow]

i do thats why i said im gonna assume its right 💀

[opal radish]

😂 😂

[frozen meadow]

its below the general channels which makes sense lol

[real creek]

Eevee over here like "where it belongs"

[opal radish]

she went in too deeep

[frozen meadow]

I mean where else would it be

Put the least recognized channels at the top because they are more important, put the least recognized at the bottom

Lfg doesn't need to be recognized cuz everyone knows it already

[full zinc]

The lfg will probably just be next on the chopping block like the VC /s

[night palm]

I’m debating on getting back in this game. I took a break after the exotic that gave all gear sets +1 dropped. Is it worth trying?

[real creek]

I mean current season gives you the elmo which is pretty good and you're getting to rebuild more of the castle settlement which is cool to see. Otherwise most everything is the same.

Oh you could try descent as well. I'm not a fan but I haven't played since it's release and I bet it's way different.

[rough sleet]

descent decent

[night palm]

Fuck it, might as well. I finally got my Project Zomboid mods to play nice with eachother

[vague flicker]

how do i get the shocker exotic holster?

[hybrid ore]

Once you obtain it from the Season Pass, you can farm another copy out in Targeted Loot after you buy the Blueprint from the Crafting Vendor.

[vague flicker]

and if i didn't get it from the season?

[hybrid ore]

No.

Although, once the Season is over, it's added to the Loot Pool automatically.

[vague flicker]

nicee so countdown should drop it on targeted loot

[hybrid ore]

If you either have the blueprint, or the Season where it drops is over, yes.

It's part of the current Season though.

[acoustic plume]

I got one on my first countdown after the patch off a hunter

lil edgelord treasure chests

[shrewd oak]

Can I farm lady death and eagles from CD?

[hybrid ore]

Lady Death: yes, Eagle Bearer: no.
the latter is either from the Dark Hours Raid, or an incredibly low chance from the DZ.

[shrewd oak]

Only DZ? Efffff

I won't raid anytime soon. Ty for the answers

Want about ravenous and sacrum

Only missing these and Reg

[real moth]

Raiding really isn't that daunting once you find the right people

[knotty quail]

Sacrum is sniper TL, Regulus is a raid project, Ravenous is from the raid and DZ

[shrewd oak]

So if the spreadsheet says low chance per boss does that exclude named enemies in cd

[rough sleet]

for what item?

[shrewd oak]

Eagle

[rough sleet]

ONLY raid and DZ, everyplace else is excluded

[shrewd oak]

Copy

[timber hatch]

the "low chance per boss" comment is talking about raid bosses, by far the most likely place to get the EB is the crate at tht end of the raid

[hardy rover]

I found the solid black gear dye :)

@rough sleet

was doing the first hunt and one of the orange crates dropped it that was hanging

[rough sleet]

yup, that's the normal black gear dye IIRC. it covers a lot of the surface area of the gear (but not all). pretty sure the black dye from the hunters chest in NY covers more area of your gear if you want a more blacked out appearance.

[swift vector]

Anyone else randomly crashing when you put a waypoint on the map? It's happened twice back to back.

[rough sleet]

yeah, it's a current known bug atm

[swift vector]

See... now i feel dumb 😛 ❤️ tho

[hardy rover]

why is my character walking so slow

they either sprint or walk like their leg is broken

[azure lintel]

if i have 2 copies, one on xbox and one on pc, will the xbox save file be there on PC if i use the same ubisoft account?

[tulip plume]

I’m somewhat sure that it only happens if you place a wp on a the map itself and not an icon

[limpid pond]

BACKSPACE = Walk / Pace

[hardy rover]

thats the dumbest thing ive ever seen in a game

[frozen meadow]

Then don't play it

[fossil flax]

Does EB drop randomly if anybody already has it? Like, is it added to the loot pool?

[sterile phoenix]

Think it was dz and raid only. Might be another mode now that also has it but I've never seen one drop outside of the raid.

[shrewd oak]

Are harmony and everlasting gaze worth farming for?

[sterile phoenix]

They drop in countdown non stop so wouldn't take long to farm!

[shrewd oak]

They do?

[sterile phoenix]

Yup. Most of the named items drop in countdown from the hunters and then you might get it from the named item chests as well.

[shrewd oak]

I seeeee

Thx

[sterile phoenix]

Sure. Good luck farming!

[shrewd oak]

Have not found one yet. Rock and roll either. Nice

What about system corruption

[sterile phoenix]

dz or legacy caches

Not sure if vendor sells them from tiem to time

Not really worth farming unless you just collecting stuff

[shrewd oak]

It's bad?

[sterile phoenix]

Not that it's bad just some better options now.

[shrewd oak]

Copy!

[vernal hatch]

Why is it so hard to get the catharsis mask 😡

[plain musk]

spotter/flatline is not working? there is no damage increase

[timber hatch]

are you sure your pulsing your targets?

[plain musk]

yeah with drone

[timber hatch]

the spotter drone can be pretty inconsistent at pulsing. it really needs a direct line of sight to pulse things and often takes a little bit to end up pulsing things

the tech pulse attachment is way more consistent

[plain musk]

im sure its pulsing as targets are glowing. even pulsing with flatline(kill 3 enemies) its not doing increased damage to the 4th target

[plain musk]

huh.switched to gunner and switched backed to shrapshooter.working now

[broken plume]

Man I really wish the nemesis in Descent was actually as it was advertised... ya know, a clone of your loadout, not just a random rogue agent.

[hardy rover]

i just did one of the hunter puzzles and my game crashed like 30 seconds after i picked the mask up..

heres hoping it saved

[thick zephyr]

Did a cp with 4 directives and heroic.
2 rogues came.they got downed easily compared to other times
Both dropped purple gear 🤨

[opaque lion]

almost all rogue agents in heroic i get also drops mostly purple

[tender wave]

Open world rogue agents are currently scaled to Normal regardless of world difficulty, and their loot is scaled too. Rogue encounters in missions or summit still scale properly though.

[tame barn]

No, have to restart. There is no cross progression

[azure lintel]

well that sucks

looks like im not gonna buy the pc version then

[tame barn]

I was 3k SHD on console and switched to PC. You can go up a good amount of levels a day running Heroic CPs with all directives. I was 120SHD yesterday. Today I’m 270 and I’ll continue grinding tonight.

[tender wave]

Progression is a lot quicker when you're already familiar with the game (and they've added stuff like countdown to make farming far faster)

[tame barn]

Yeah I thought optimizing gear would be a nightmare at low SHD but I’ve got 2 almost fully optimized builds already. Heroic Countdowns have been good to me. Now if I can just get The Gift back for my Regulus build.

[real creek]

DZ or named caches only for the gift tho.

[tame barn]

Yeah I’ve been opening named caches and haven’t gotten any yet unfortunately

[real creek]

Yeah there is a ton of stuff in that pool. Gift does go on sale at vendors every so often, but the gift isn't a deal breaker for any build either.

[tender wave]

I can see expertise being a pain to re-level, I had over 4k shd when it was released so it only took a few WONY runs to max out the annoying stuff, would be much more difficult to do without that. Not really essential though.

I have 2 Gifts (one crit one hsd&handling) but neither see any use any more. Both farmed in the dz, out of hundreds of named caches I've opened the only time I got a Gift was on the PTS

[fallen copper]

So the league says SHD kills but none of my SHD skils are counting. Thoughts?

[sterile ferry]

what skills do you use?

i did turret and drone and it worked fine

[fallen copper]

I did turret and drone and neither are counting

[full jay]

So dumb question cause i never use it but does Demolisher firefly only target armor pieces on the heavy units?

[tame barn]

I just want it because everything else for my Reg build is named gear one piece being unnamed bothers me 😂

[sterile ferry]

no, armor doesnt count as a weakpoint

[full jay]

Bummer, trying to get all the armor of basilisk but he keeps dying too fast despite my best efforts to keep him alive

[sterile ferry]

use foam and shock traps and stuff

use a semi auto gun so you dont shoot his health bar

[full jay]

ive tried using just a pistol on a tank build

[sterile ferry]

use a dps build with an mmr maybe

[full jay]

i might

would the tac-50 kill him through the armor?

[sterile ferry]

no but spec weaponds deal less damage to named NPCs

use a high end mmr

[full jay]

G28 it is (its the only one i have thats high end)

[sterile ferry]

try m700 carbon

bolt actions deal much more damage

[frozen meadow]

White death >

[sterile ferry]

headshot damage on white death isnt gonna be useful on armor pieces

also the accuracy is shit

[full jay]

well its either i use the only sniper i have (g28) or i use a exotic sniper

[sterile ferry]

check out the crafting bench?

[full jay]

i can craft one yeah...

[sterile ferry]

do countdown with mmr targeted loot

[azure lintel]

What's the fastest way to make skills proficient w/o donating materials? I run a skill dmg build, but is there a certain skill/talent that will help?

[sterile ferry]

talents dont halp as far as i know. you can put the game on normal difficulty to make it a bit faster i guess

same expertise xp in all difficulties

[azure lintel]

But wouldn't > XP = faster proficiency?

[halcyon fog]

Make a build that only needs 1 skill, then equip the other skill you are trying to level in the other slot and never use it

[sterile ferry]

you dont actually have to use the skill to get proficiency. get a dps build with the 2 skills you need to level up, put the game on normal and use your guns to kill

doesnt matter how you kill

[azure lintel]

Is deploying the skills adequate, or is it faster to kill?

[sterile ferry]

you dont even have to deploy them

[azure lintel]

So using them is no faster than carrying them?

[sterile ferry]

pretty much

youre still better off donating mats

[azure lintel]

ok thank you both

[brave canopy]

I have a dumb question, so after playing with a friend and letting him kill the boss(he was doing a challenge) only he got an exotic and this made me look back and realize that the only time I've gotten exotics was when I was the one dealing the final shot on the boss, is that actually how the game works?

[opal radish]

which boss? exos are rng

[brave canopy]

What I mean is do I have to be the one doing the final hit or not in order to get one

[opal radish]

exotics are rng

[brave canopy]

Cuz I've only gotten them when I perform the final hit

[opal radish]

it is not guaranteed to get even when you kill the boss

[brave canopy]

Really bad coincidences ig?

[opal radish]

yeah

[brave canopy]

Good to know tho

And ty for ur time

[opal radish]

if that was the case every player would farm it that way

[sterile ferry]

doesnt matter who lands the final shot, RNG is different for people in the group

[brave canopy]

Kind sirs

I am once again confused

So I'm level 30 and I got a st elmos from the dark zone but the crafter lady won't sell me the reconfiguration bp

[dire ravine]

Did you complete season reward tracker have to get bp thru that

Then it will automatically be at your table don't need to buy from vendor

[brave canopy]

I'm lvl 30 and don't have the dlc I can't access that

[astral jacinth]

I need more exotics for expertise

[opal radish]

create alternate character do mission around 3-4 exos guaranteed

beating nemisis guaranteed exo cache

[astral jacinth]

Oh running nemesis with alts?

[surreal orbit]

Is it a level 40 Elmo? If so you can’t reconfigure to level 30 for that reason, no reconfiguration blueprint at level 30. Elmo is a level 40 exotic…

[brave canopy]

Lvl 30

[surreal orbit]

I saw, and…

[brave canopy]

Want a screenie?

[surreal orbit]

wait, it’s a level 30 Elmo?

[brave canopy]

Yes 😂

I got in from DZ

It*

[surreal orbit]

Didn’t think that was possible. Well, you’re stuck with the 3rd attribute then… nice find…

[brave canopy]

F

Atleast it's decent

[brave canopy]

Look in dms

[sterile ferry]

this game is just full of surprises

[shrewd oak]

Has anyone found all the hunter masks?

Every guide I see from googling it they all say "to be continued" after like 3 or 4

I got all the ones from DC when the game dropped

Nevermind I just remembered YouTube was a thing

[full zinc]

yeah nothingbutskillz has full guide for each iirc

[opal radish]

yeah i watched nbz

[opal radish]

his only video worth watching and few guides that's about it

[full zinc]

and ?

[shrewd oak]

So I heard the drama of his and kvd having click bait titles for builds but do they actually work?

Don't they show gameplay of them using it? How are they trash builds? Just out of curiosity

[opal radish]

because using same gearset better builds exist

[full zinc]

a lot of the build videos you find with anyone will usually be centered around some new gear. usually gicmick type stuff

[opal radish]

alao they promote ninjabike which is meh

[full zinc]

a lot of the tubers have drama with eachother at some point tho. controversy generates clicks

[opal radish]

yeah

[full zinc]

yes they do, sometimes that "gameplay" is taking place during a global event that can skew the performance... with golden bullet GE on the on the horizon youll see a whole slew of dps builds release with great numbers, but realistically not performing as well

[opal radish]

also countdown which is wrong because they get big boosts there

[full zinc]

the pinned spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice will have a bunch of solid builds that are updated with the seasons

[stable fox]

Ongoing directive not working ?

[stable fox]

Nvm ok

Lol

[shrewd dawn]

How to hit big expertise lvl fast?

[opal radish]

donate materials or gear

[hybrid ore]

The best "fast" way to obtain them is definitely Countdown.
Just set it to whatever you're low level on and keep doing runs until you're capped out.

Challenging difficulty is recommended, due to how scaling works. That's where the bulk of pub groups are.

[full zinc]

if you have a high shd level (1500<) you can make repeated new agent runs through wony to duplicate watch and use scavenging points for printer filament donations. drain, delete, repeat type of deal. (this is the fastest method)

if you are low shd, its gonna be countdown, donate junk, breakdown already proficient gear and use the mats for donations. be careful of the mat donations, its easy to accidently donate all mats (slow and steady method)

[scenic vale]

what triggers CPs to be attacked? I had 4 CPs that went untouched for days but now that I have taken a few more the game is trying to take certain ones back.

[opal radish]

they get attacked unless you keep resupplying them

[scenic vale]

odd, I took down the group going after the CP and when I went to the CP to restock it, no one was there

[opal radish]

other cps attack them and they are not able to defend themselves

[opal radish]

they need to be needs fulfilled otherwise they lose most of the times hover over a cp to see what they need

[warped knoll]

Will I be able to play with my buddy (fresh acc) if he doesn’t have nyc?

[lapis crypt]

Is it normal that I can't earn appareal event key anymore ?

with XP I mean

[opal radish]

yes but on his map

[opal radish]

event ended

[lapis crypt]

i guess.. but it says 2 more days left

[small spear]

the time to earn free keys is over

[lapis crypt]

guess it's bugged out

[small spear]

you're on the week after that which is the buy-only week, no it's not a bug

this is just the time you can spend the keys you own or bought

[crisp juniper]

I guess theyll just disappear if i dont use the keys?

[opal radish]

yup

[lapis crypt]

mm i see thanks

[shrewd oak]

Is doctor home trash

[frozen meadow]

for the most part

[ruby yoke]

Don’t listen to Eevee - she will say that for any weapon in game except 1 specific ar🤣

[opal radish]

give me proof 💀

[ruby yoke]

Nvm - was a bad famas-related joke from me😂
No doubts DocHome is a meh weapon.

[opal radish]

😂

[pine seal]

where is Base of Operations ? 😐

[real moth]

The white house

[pine seal]

i did skip to NYC

[real moth]

If you look at the entrance it says base of operations next to it

[opal radish]

or haven in ny

[pine seal]

i'm trying to switch specialization but cant find quartermaster

[opal radish]

rohdes must be somewhere there because haven is a mess tbh

[frozen meadow]

Rogue agents now have a 15% chance of spawning in-between boss rooms in Dark Hours and Iron Horse raids.

[real moth]

Lol what

That'd be stupid

[opal radish]

lol

[opal radish]

better give exos on kill

[opal radish]

where did you get this?troll board?

[small spear]

my basement

it also has chameleon buff ideas

[opal radish]

don't speak that name i got 5 chameleon in like 36hrs

[opal radish]

nice basement with rouge agent storage capability

[small spear]

solo tidal chameleon gogo

[opal radish]

coming tomorrow

as a viewer

[crude plume]

ninjabike backpack also drops in countdown, correct?

[frozen meadow]

Hello, thank you for the feedback! While the rogue encounters being added for Title Update 19 will not grant a guaranteed exotic drop, the drop rate of raid-exclusive exotics for these encounters will be changed to 35%. If the encounter is failed, then no exotics will be rewarded.

[opal radish]

nice

[thin leaf]

есть русские для совместной игры?

[full zinc]

In haven its through the hall opposite of clan /appearance stairwells. Go through next area and itll be at a long counter

[full zinc]

#lfg-pc for coop/groups, but it's an English language discord

[thin leaf]

I'm from Belarus, I would like to make friends, but I can't

[opal radish]

u know Russian?

[ruby yoke]

You know russian to realize it was russian?🤣

[full zinc]

I think the #td2-clan-recruitment channel allows for other languages if you wanted to try and get a clan/group together

[opal radish]

yeah from the characters

[feral flame]

I thought st Elmo’s only dropped after getting level 90

[opal radish]

yup

[feral flame]

No

I just got it randomly from an enemy I’m level 42

[opal radish]

really?

[feral flame]

Yea

[opal radish]

wellnit is a random drop so you got lucky

[real creek]

They added it to targeted loot last patch.

[feral flame]

Dopeee

[opal radish]

ok they buffed the drop rate for chameleon i got 5 in 36hrs👀

[full zinc]

It's supposed to need blueprint to actually drop targetted. Not surprising it drops early now. Nice find 👍

[full zinc]

Are you able to buy the reconfiguring blueprint from the crafting lady ?

[feral flame]

I’ll let you know after I complete this countdown

@full zinc yep just bought it

[full zinc]

That's pretty dope

[azure lintel]

What's the appropriate channel for discussing about heartland?

[full zinc]

#1001871292330414141

[azure lintel]

Thanks yo

[torpid apex]

Didn't the server used to have VC's for raids?

[opal radish]

ih doesn't queue wrong difficulty

[opal radish]

removed by ubi

[torpid apex]

That's extremely dumb

[uneven dawn]

No one wants to monitor them

[haughty cipher]

o=o i honestly hate countdown idk why but it always freezes my game up after the reactor, and its like oh you can rejoin have a lovely day....gg game gg

[tame barn]

So Ubisoft Connect now has a beta toggle. Since I’ve been using the beta version my game has not crashed a single time, anyone else had the chance to try it?

[pine seal]

conflict = dark zone?

[rough sleet]

two different things

[pine seal]

what do I do after beating nyc campaign im lvl 40

[rough sleet]

now you're at end game. make builds, optimize gear, do raids, participate in season activities, etc.

[maiden vortex]

so i got a question for yall

so im doing cp's trying to get crafting blueprints and i did about 2 or 4 and suddenly they stopped giving me blueprints

is that something to reduce people getting them all quickly?

[rough sleet]

firstly, are all the CPs you're doing lvl 3 and up? (challenging or above)

[maiden vortex]

yes

[rough sleet]

and you've not really done CPs in the past I take it? first time trying to run through them for BPs?

[toxic kayak]

How many blueprints do you have in total? There is just a special amount of blueprints given by cp's

[rough sleet]

the CPs do have a limited BP pool, so once it's exhausted, they'll stop dropping them ofcourse

[maiden vortex]

ive been playing since the game dropped just took a break

i got probably about like low 300ish

like i said i took a break for a while and just seriously getting back into it recently

[maiden vortex]

ahhh yea that makes sense

[rough sleet]

yeah, they haven't really changed what BPs you get from CPs for quite some time no. the only real change was adding some of the old season BPs to the pool, but most veteran players (as long as they participated in the seasons) already had them so they'll see no additional BPs dropping.

[maiden vortex]

yea that was my downfall of missing a bunch of seasonS and didnt get some BP'S

[toxic kayak]

There are some BP which just Drops in raids and they gave us I think 35 New Blueprints inside descent Mode

[drifting shale]

Hey. Does Ninjabike now drop from targeted backpack loot?

[rough sleet]

yes

[maiden vortex]

whats a good talent for a 45 vector?

i have close&personal now i just wantwed to seee if there were any others that were better

[arctic radish]

depends on your build.. talents should compliment your build

[maiden vortex]

im running 4 piece HB

and a coyo mask

[fickle rampart]

best heartbreaker option would be kingbreaker, no?

[maiden vortex]

i have it im talking about for close range to build stacks

[fickle rampart]

acs-12?

best option for close range stacking

[maiden vortex]

hmm okay ill try it

[finite hare]

Damn. It was a big ass D2 update. Over 87 GB

[candid stag]

Guys did anyone met a guy named itz ultimo and his friend jackdaniels ? They are cheaters in the darkzone. Whenever i enter the DZ i die immediately

[bitter wraith]

What if I enter the dz without ps plus?

[pine seal]

is potmac center not solo mission?

[drifting shale]

It should be soloable.

[pine seal]

all I get is matchmaking option and the switch cant be activated 😐

[drifting shale]

Glitch? I don't know. Hopefully someone else can answer that

[small spear]

can you just run in and trigger the mission?

[pine seal]

nope the gates are locked

[rough sleet]

Just change the settings via the map and then run in?

[small spear]

you probably need to replay the mission, choose the difficulty of the mission to reset it and you can replay

[pine seal]

i skipped to nyc warlord and trying to do washington weekly

do i need to beat previous difficulty first?

[small spear]

if you can select the difficulty, then no

[wheat mortar]

Can u get ever exotic from the countdown cash?

[small spear]

there are exclusive exotics from the projects, raids/dz or legendary that don't drop from them

[wheat mortar]

Is there somewhere I can look what exotics I can get from them

[small spear]

no, but there is a sheet that lists sources for each exotic (the other way around)

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTJEX5DerCvOj3a_m36TRy1gPBAUvrduOIdmXI9j1Y0MpQk1wIXaZ9KOcPa7HzXzp_N5qGmjDj6yEfL/pubhtml?gid=555326927#

[civic canyon]

Would it be possible to let us reroll our exotics to get damage to targets out of cover the sacrum imperium and the st Elmo’s already have it so just give it to the others

[small spear]

no, only those 2 have that property

[wild anvil]

Yo I just had this crazy idea imagine division 3 but the gameplay is more grounded and feels like the last of us 2, with stealth mechanics and mele and the weight of the guns from that game, might sound weird but too me that would be a fun game

[broken plume]

Hey, they switched up the Nemesis model finally.

I got Kajeka instead of Connely
