[covert sphinx]

RIGHT?

i've switched back to elmo which isn't much less boring but at least it's not ouro lol

if i ever do the incursion again i'm sure i'll put it back on but ar's just feels so much better to me

[hybrid ore]

I've gone back to my Burnout Famas, a very underrated little Named item that I'm very glad no one really notices.

[undone timber]

Cuz muh dps

[covert sphinx]

i've gotten a bunch of those recently and just instadismantled

[hybrid ore]

Once you break your habit of reloading before emptying a mag out, the gun turns into a laser-accurate blender.

+40% WH is no joke.

[covert sphinx]

what's the talent?

[undone timber]

Perfect on empty

+40 percent weapon handling on empty reload iirc

For 10 seconds?

[hybrid ore]

Aye.
and WH being Stability/Accuracy/Reload/Swap speed, 1% for 1% in each, means it's rather nice.

[half wasp]

Aren't you hitting the cap for each of those then?

You can pretty reliably hit high amounts of accuracy and stability on most AR's just with mods

40% in all feels like a waste if you hit a soft cap in most stats

[hybrid ore]

You shouldn't be using those kind of mods on a gun that focuses around crit.
crit Weapon modding is fairly simple in div2: it's always:
biggest mag size, followed by crit chance on everything else.

And you can go over 100% on stats, most easy to see in a 3pc Hotshot build for Stability.

I actually messed around with one of those recently and got it so that I only had to use one stability mod on it, since it now reads 110% with 2.

[half wasp]

I usually slot on the scope that offers weapon handling on most guns that need a little help staying on target and that's all you ever really need

Except on marksmen rifles maybe

[hybrid ore]

MMR's don't use crit, so they're fairly redundant.

I am 100% not saying that "on empty" is a secret best Talent or anything, but yeah crit modding is static for a reason. You want as few crit chance rolls as possible on your gear, since the SHD Watch gives +10% on its own, and gun mods give about 15%. You only need another 25% to hit 50/35 for 60.

[half wasp]

Hey I normally play tech builds so I'm all in on mellow yellow

I already don't roll crit chance most of the time lol

[hybrid ore]

Fair fair. Tech builds are a weird situation for modding guns.

[half wasp]

It's just kind of silly that after coming back to the game years down the road that weapon modding really hasn't changed much at all

[hybrid ore]

I still throw on crit chance, mostly because my main gun with those is a kard so I can get a few Red rolls in there anyway.

[half wasp]

I'm surprised they never did an overhaul and add in any mods for ammunition or barrel length

[hybrid ore]

Well Project Resolve is working on a lot, it's feasible that they'll buff some of the worst gun mods.

Looking at you, -optimal range.

[half wasp]

Eh it's not just that

But I guess the game did go into maintenance mode for a while after failing to retain players

If we had gotten more expansions I wonder how much would have changed

Or how much was planned if WoNY had sold more initially

[hybrid ore]

The div team was basically remade, we do know that.

but there is a DLC coming next year.

[half wasp]

Aye I know

Just gotta imagine if it had come 2 years after launch instead of almost 6

[covert sphinx]

i went and did a public execution and control point on heroic with that fal para and it was not disappointing ngl

almost managed to take on two rogue agents that showed up, too

they showed up before i could get prepared tho so they escaped. but still

[half wasp]

Wait, do rogue agents run away?

I've never seen that happen

[covert sphinx]

they escape if you die

[half wasp]

Okay yeah

Saying they escaped made it seem like they just dipped and not despawned after failing

[covert sphinx]

it literally says "rogue agents escaped"

[half wasp]

Man that's the main reason I stick to tech builds honestly. Throw down the turret and drone and just focus on staying alive and breaking their toys

[covert sphinx]

meh. not my playstyle

[half wasp]

Man that's an exotic we need, let me slot two drones or two turrets of different types

Or a brand set maybe

[wooden shoal]

I was watching a video couple days ago of a guy with a build that he would regain ammo in the camber of his guns anyone know the talent or gear he was using?

[half wasp]

Was it a sniper build or was he on the gunner spec? There's also the lucky talent that refunds missed shots fired while in cover

[wooden shoal]

No he was usin an AR I believe only talent I could find that mentions ammo is booerang but that talent is for rifles only and his gun was full auto

he was out of cover as well

[molten spire]

Steady Handed refills your magazine upon landing 100 hits, but that doesn't seem to match the description either

[tender wave]

Bullet king and Chatterbox too, plus any weapon during Golden Bullet

[cedar flicker]

I use skill build for solo cp. Like drone n turret clear all ads

[half wasp]

Just link the video and someone will point out exactly what's happening

[half wasp]

The drone turret combo is very nice once you have the Hana U named backpack and capacitor, my turret does 350K per shot once it's stacked

It's not even fully optimized either, still need waveform to drop

Was farming targeted loot and got 3 dodge city holsters in a row

Actually made me angry

[noble ember]

What time end of maintenance

[hybrid ore]

#server-status message

[copper shoal]

It was fun doing the whole manhunt with Backup boomstick.

[topaz sorrel]

Eagle bearer is ONLY from raid right, no farming? No caches?

[copper shoal]

and minimal chance from DZ

[paper crystal]

can drop from enemies in DZ, even red ones, it is however very rare, joiniing a Raid discord like GCROCKs is the fastest way to get one.

[desert crystal]

any one no why theres no client patch yet

[azure lintel]

when servers going to be availible

[placid citrus]

prolly 1 more hour

[stable sand]

I have 74.79GB free space but can't update the game ? Help!!

[tidal badger]

i dont think its back on yet

[stable sand]

Ohh ok so we wait then

[tidal badger]

downloading a 4.61gb patch on PC right now

[stable sand]

Still same won't let me

What i just deleted a game it started to download fr-_-

[stiff bear]

anybody's game is opening rn coz it's not opening after update

[dull cypress]

if you're on console you might need to delete a bit more

[tidal badger]

downloaded patch, opened game but wont connect

[dull cypress]

servers are still down lol

[tidal badger]

😭

that moment when you're addicted to a specific game and it's offline

[stable sand]

Yeah

I had even alot space left lol

[dull cypress]

how much space do you have and how big is the game ?

[stable sand]

I had 74 GB left

Update was 4gb i think

[dull cypress]

game is roughly 80gb for me so you might have to delete a bit more lol

[stable sand]

Oh thats way yeah then it will ask me to delete lol

[rocky sparrow]

how much updata?

[stiff bear]

4 gb

[rocky sparrow]

servers still down?

[dull cypress]

yep

[stiff bear]

yeah i tried opening game

[rocky sparrow]

what's news in updata?

[dull cypress]

just bug fixes and the removal of the christmas stuff

[tidal badger]

are yall excited for project resolve?

[loud kiln]

decide to check out division for first time in years, servers down - my luck :)

[rancid sphinx]

should be up in about 15 minutes

[tidal badger]

its good you should come back

[cunning forum]

got extended

[tidal badger]

by how much?

[dull cypress]

1 hr

[tidal badger]

RIP

[random quest]

Dammit, I was so ready to grind more gear #addicted

[tidal badger]

Same lmao

[azure lintel]

same

[alpine tiger]

Any thing about heartland release ?

[random quest]

I've been having way too much fun scrapping together a headhunter build, slowly getting the parts I need. I'm getting by without farming for the regulus, for now. I need to get a nice DPS build for the raid first.

[tidal badger]

i'm still doing the NY campaign after i did everything i could in Washington

[undone timber]

You'll quickly come to despise the loot grind or just get broken by it

[tidal badger]

just let people have fun man

[random quest]

I used to despise it, but getting into the right build really helped. What really grinds my gears is running wanting to run a seeker mine build, but the enemies just run away from it, so you just stare at them behind cover till it's off cooldown again. Or running a shield build, but the enemies got an emp for you. Or even the headhunter build versus hyenas, because of the runners.
The worst feeling is running a CQB type of build, but the enemy keeps running away 😂

[tidal badger]

after i'm done with the NY campaign ill have to look up an actual build to get into endgame

[neon wyvern]

I feel that with the cqc

[undone timber]

Div 1 seekers hunted enemies down I miss them

[undone timber]

Check out the spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice

[neon wyvern]

running hunters fury in open world is either spawn camping city or trash

[tidal badger]

appreciate that

[random quest]

RIGHT?! Like, I'm just sprinting at them with a shotgun or pistol for CQC, and they either decide to stand on top of you, making aiming the weirdest thing in the universe, or run away. I was clearing a CP the other day, and was chasing a guy that just kept running away, almost running into a nearby activity

[random quest]

I love a good skill build for PvE, it can be its own kind of fun, but seeing it being ignored by enemies like that sucks.
Just like doing a mission with CQC and there's a fight that requires you to whip out a sniper lmao

People about to start losing their shit 😂 🍿

[azure lintel]

[novel plaza]

[random quest]

That's what she.... 😭

[novel plaza]

[heavy dirge]

over/under 3 more hours....;)

[wanton plume]

Xbox ist on

[thorny raft]

pc just came on

[novel plaza]

really? need to check PS then

[gritty lichen]

I'm waiting on update 😞

[thorny raft]

bro the ubisoft launcher downloads slow af

[fair lake]

hmm, they re-ran the apparel event

[novel plaza]

PS is on i can enter char select

[lone valve]

Wtf why are they randomly rerunning phoenix down lol

Is this a bug lol

[wanton plume]

For me it's a good thing. I was able to get the Outfit.

[full zinc]

Bugs are now features

[azure lintel]

Wanna grind?

[cyan narwhal]

benovelence

[pliant sentinel]

thank u diablo

[copper shoal]

I was looking forward to more legendary content. Now it seems to mostly be buffing up weapons/gears

[lone valve]

I'm apparently missing 2 weapon skins from it so I definitely won't mind them rerunning it

[azure lintel]

The season didn't reset did it? I forgot to look at the timer before logging off last night.

[pliant sentinel]

3 hour for an update?

[green cedar]

Genuine question, anyone ever had an exotic from a rogue agent? I don’t think I’ve ever had in my 1500 hour play time

[cyan narwhal]

never had one other than named items

[green cedar]

Same here, interesting

Maybe they don’t drop?

[pliant sentinel]

oh u meant npc rogues

yes they do drop, i got a memento from em in summit yesterday

[lyric hamlet]

Is ISAC a real person or discord bot?

[azure lintel]

Both

[broken solstice]

no one knows

[opal radish]

An AI

Running 6pcs 5.11

so does the blackout cosmetic bundle contain outfits? or just a mask and weapon camos

[placid citrus]

chatGPT

[thick zephyr]

Lol
Maintenance just completed when I am about to turn in.typical.

[lyric hamlet]

@opal radish What is 5.11?

[azure lintel]

👍

[full zinc]

Brand set that unlocks godmode when wearing 6pc and equipped sacrum imperium mmr

[broken solstice]

It'll be even better next season when the update drops and adds even more to the Health brand bonus

[tacit sequoia]

Question agents, is there a reward for completing all the scavenger Christmas projects? I received a message when i logged in but can't find anything.

[broken solstice]

Yeah a named backpack with a decent talent

[dawn relic]

5.11 definitely paid ubisoft a lot lol

[tacit sequoia]

where shouls i look for it?

[full zinc]

Christmas projects done now, correct?

[tacit sequoia]

I did all of them yeah

[broken solstice]

Gotta find the loot goblin

[tacit sequoia]

I got a message at login

[full zinc]

Maybe check the stash

[tacit sequoia]

It isn't there...

[broken solstice]

Mailbox?

[tacit sequoia]

No...

[full zinc]

If it's not already obtained somewhere you're sol

[broken solstice]

I rly can't remember if you get one for completing the projects. All I remember is farming the loot goblin at dz south entrance 20 times in a row

[full zinc]

Winter projects disbled

[broken solstice]

Oh yeah

Crud

[tacit sequoia]

Festive Delivery
Named Backpack

This is supposed to be the reward for completing the scavenger projects?

[full zinc]

I believe so, yeah

[broken solstice]

That's the one

[glass pasture]

I recently switched from xbox to pc and this time i wanna get a bit into darkzone. Problem is i have no clue what builds i should make for dz. Anyone wanna teach me a bit and farm some loot while we're at it

[full zinc]

#td2-build-advice
Check the pinned spreadsheet

[broken solstice]

Just be ready to get downed over and over by ppl who play nothing but pvp

[glass pasture]

noted

[celest marten]

If the apparel event rerun means people are getting the old completion reward..... please bring back the urban jungle event!

[dawn relic]

it seems that there are lots of newbies in my region now

or new players, you can sense that if u call backup

somehow for 10 backup i called, only 1-2 is SHD500+ now

almost all of them are 200-400 SHD

not only backup, but raids/countdowns/activities

[full zinc]

arent you a new agent too 🤔

[ashen urchin]

Some people still have lives

[kind veldt]

feels like i have seen at least 2-5 people per day in this chat going "i'm coming back to this game what do i need to know"

[dawn relic]

but u gotta know, like 1-2 weeks ago, every backup , or most ppl u met in multiplayer mode, they are all SHD 3000+

in my region,

[full zinc]

maybe there was a sale running, happens a lot. new agents are a good thing

but im logged in now for backup calls so its not all low level agents 😉

[dawn relic]

only if they save down a 10 roll gacha money lmao

[lone valve]

A very good thing for the future

[dawn relic]

dont even need sales man lol

[lone valve]

The incursion definitely brought back alot of people
New or old

Hell even marco style played the incursion lol

Never thought I'd see him in div 2 again

[dawn relic]

do u guys know theres a decline on destiny 2?

[lone valve]

Yea

[ebon steeple]

Is ubi down i can't login

[dawn relic]

like everyone is upset about it

maybe thats the reason

[full zinc]

its up, maybe restart

[lone valve]

It started
With bungie firing a ton of people
And then them delaying their next expansion

[broken solstice]

When I answer backup calls to low level players I swap to a red FI build to try to help them out a bit. But even then I end up handling too much of the action and they quit the group

[ebon steeple]

Not div servers ubi connect

[full zinc]

cant connect to the servers without ubi connect

its also up

[dawn relic]

bungie said they wont give up destiny 2 and will start a new story after final shape, thats just 💩 now

they gonna throw after final shape came out

[ebon steeple]

Had to restart my PC love ya ubi🙃

[dawn relic]

and gonna rip everyone before their great escape lmao

second half of 2023 is horror

like every game i loved and played went to hell

[frozen meadow]

you should stop playing AAA games

[dawn relic]

the day before is a joke

[full zinc]

i rarely see that

[dawn relic]

destiny 2 falling

[frozen meadow]

play games that arent expected to have updates and then youll be good

[neon wyvern]

play dead games👴

[lone valve]

Okay everyone stop playing div 2

[dawn relic]

[frozen meadow]

just lower your expectations

why do you think i almost never complain about this game lol

[dawn relic]

but

this game is good

[lone valve]

My expectations for div 2 updates are full of bugs and day long maintenances

[ebon steeple]

I need project resolve

[frozen meadow]

then lower your expectations

dont expect it to be a holy grail of video games

its extremely complex as it is now so its bound to have more bugs than most games

[dawn relic]

this game is far better than every type of roguelike survival / battle royale and extraction shooter like 100x times

AKA 90% of the games

[frozen meadow]

"full of bugs" lol people really overexaggerate that

[neon wyvern]

I can't wait to roll magsize on my bullet king

[dawn relic]

but when u take a look at it, it includes all of them

[frozen meadow]

rerolling mag size will increase the amount of ammo you get per 100 shots landed

[ebon steeple]

Madman

[lone valve]

But I'm not exaggerating on the day long maintenances on new season updates

[frozen meadow]

the game is also 100x larger

[dawn relic]

descent is just roguelike
DZ is just extraction shooter , which is a branch from battle royale

[frozen meadow]

its one day, like im fine with that

doesnt kill to not play for one single day

[dawn relic]

i hate random perks , so i hate roguelike

[lone valve]

I mean on season release I'm not
No shit I have other games to play
Doesn't mean it doesn't suck

And shouldn't be happening

[frozen meadow]

none of us have control over it so its not worth even thinking about

[dawn relic]

if by every stage or level up , the thing u get is random, then u never got to have the meta build

[frozen meadow]

its just pessimistic to think that way

why do you think i always have a good mood about this game lol

[broken solstice]

Hell I don't play for at least a week after playing every day for a week. One day sucks when you rly want to play but whatddya gonna do

[dawn relic]

which gonna sux dik

[lone valve]

The obvious is being stated it's just that it's been happening more frequently

[frozen meadow]

thats just how game development works, its unrealistic to expect it to run 24/7/365

[ebon steeple]

So that's why the update was 5gb they added more store exclusive clothes

[fair lake]

did they?

[frozen meadow]

if you want a game to run 24/7/365 then dont play any game with servers

[ebon steeple]

Wtf apparel event

[frozen meadow]

they probably did a lot of backend maintenance too which is why its larger

[lone valve]

What I don't get is
They randomly rerun phoenix down with no announcement before or even after the fact???

Their communication needs to improve

[frozen meadow]

id blame corporate on that tbh

[ebon steeple]

Bruh the apparel events just stuff that was already in the apparel caches

[frozen meadow]

probably said "give the game an event i dont care you have one week"

[fair lake]

I want the clothes rotation in caches again 💀

[frozen meadow]

yall seriously have too high of expectations

i recommend taking some business classes and get a gauge of what these devs are being put under

[ebon steeple]

I wanted resident evil back

[hasty viper]

damn this new guardian challenge change my st elmo into oreo at home

[lone valve]

If only textiles were useful

[neon wyvern]

with its kenly college update

[lone valve]

Codename nightmare

Pepperidge farm remembers

[frozen meadow]

okay so hear me out

[neon wyvern]

More like corporate nightmare

[frozen meadow]

you know how they mentioned an underground facility that only a few BT members can get in

[lone valve]

Yea pretty sure it's still the white oak one

[neon wyvern]

double down time

[frozen meadow]

so hear me out

what if there was like a raid

[lone valve]

They are also building an underground city apparently

[frozen meadow]

thats what i meant

[lone valve]

Schaefer would have to wake up as he is the key

[frozen meadow]

yes

[neon wyvern]

Underground raid to make pistol flashlight useful

[frozen meadow]

so what if they made a massive raid

inside the underground city

[dawn relic]

is descent still a thing now?

[lone valve]

I think they should blast alarms in the white house so schaefer wakes up tbh

[neon wyvern]

Schaefer having the longest dream of his life rn

[tender wave]

Yeah, only way to get certain blueprints and comms

[dawn relic]

like nemesis?

[pliant sentinel]

whats the new apparel about

[frozen meadow]

i have the best ideas

they should make me a dev tbh

[neon wyvern]

👴

[real moth]

Would be cool if flashlights weren't glitched in raids

[frozen meadow]

?

[real moth]

All they do is flicker for some reason

[tender wave]

No, named items including ones you can only normally get from the dz. Nemesis blueprint is from the usual project, been there for years.

[dawn relic]

oh ok

[tender wave]

The nemesis in descent is basically just a hunter enemy you have to kill, nothing to do with the exotic sniper

[hybrid ore]

This is why it needed a different name.
Doppleganger, there we go.

[pliant sentinel]

still cant buy dark path apparel with textiles

[dawn relic]

what good weapons that is DZ exclusive?

[ebon steeple]

Dark winter

[frozen meadow]

i think thats literally it

[ebon steeple]

I like the apartment

[tender wave]

Harmony, Kard Custom

[frozen meadow]

harmony is exclusive?

[ebon steeple]

Yeah

[frozen meadow]

thats the one with in sync right

[hybrid ore]

Rock+Roll, Harmony, Orbit, Kard.

[tender wave]

Yeah, it's not a great weapon but useful backup for capacitor

[frozen meadow]

test subject?

[neon wyvern]

Mop is better then Harmony as secondary skill weapon

[small spear]

mop my beloved

[hybrid ore]

LZ

[frozen meadow]

i know im referring to an alternative to harmony

[tender wave]

For long ranges or when out of AR ammo

[hybrid ore]

You asked about DZ locked guns.

[frozen meadow]

since its literally the same talent + easier to proc since AR

[real moth]

But it shares the same ammo pool

[frozen meadow]

if you run out of ammo on a skill build im seriously asking questions

[hybrid ore]

Arguably Harmony is better, since it's more accurate you only have to fire once at longer ranges.

[broken solstice]

Harmony is a solid piece

[neon wyvern]

pistolero be like

[frozen meadow]

if youre using pistolero then who cares if the ammo pool is shared youll run out regardless

[kind veldt]

god i wish we had full auto pistols

[hybrid ore]

div1 vets never take ammo for granted. Rare as hens teeth back in the day.

[frozen meadow]

but im not old like that

[kind veldt]

well ammo hoarders on old underground was quite punishing if you played dumb

[frozen meadow]

just dont play dumb then lol

[small spear]

just have skillz

[hybrid ore]

Yeah bird hasn't played div1.

Ammo boxes weren't every 5ft in div1, like they are in div2.

[kind veldt]

What do you mean

[hybrid ore]

carrying a weapon of a different category was a legitimate necessity because your AR would run out of ammo in longer engagements.

I do miss it a little.

[pliant sentinel]

i only do this in resistance

[kind veldt]

Im talking about im specifically talking about how ammo hoarders was added in div1 underground

[hybrid ore]

Okay?

[kind veldt]

Just confused why you said i havent played div1

[broken solstice]

Got you confused with me maybe

[hybrid ore]

It's not worth it. This place rarely is.

[kind veldt]

Anyhow, video game bad habits of reloading after each enemy kill get people off guard in some games

[broken solstice]

I used to do that. Not a good thing when you're running optimist on the weapon

[pliant sentinel]

i still do that

[neon wyvern]

Especially bad if you're running frenzy on ur lmg

[broken solstice]

I end up accidentally reloading a rifle while it has boomerang proc'd

[lone valve]

but we also could carry more ammo

[serene elk]

I was thinking about this recently

I chalked it up to me being way younger and being careless with ammo

But no it’s actually a real issue in div 1

You’d get to the boss and you’d run out

[prisma beacon]

is this a fire rate bonus during the event? i hear my strikers calling...

[lone valve]

Oh wtf they added another apparel bundle in the store

[broken solstice]

The mask looks pretty good

[prisma beacon]

yeah, its a mask and some weak weapon skins

[lone valve]

I see what their financing for future content strategy is
Better than nothing I guess

The model 700 skin is pretty clean

Lol the carbon skin is available for textiles

[prisma beacon]

yo, if you kill the babysitter during the event you get a firerate bonus and the baby gets shocked

[magic atlas]

most are items that were available elsewhere

[prisma beacon]

but dont stand near the baby sitter

[lone valve]

the babysitter lol you mean the guardian

[prisma beacon]

yeah, that one

[tender wave]

Yeah most people know how guardians event works, it's been around for years

[serene elk]

Is guardians active?

[prisma beacon]

im new to this entirely, i played d1 for about a year then welp, life, then came back two months ago to all of this new

[lone valve]

yea

[serene elk]

I should get online sometime soon

Been on vacation 🫠

[neon wyvern]

I need yaahl gloves in the vendor

[tender wave]

Guardians is either really annoying or really fun, depending on whether the guardian runs off to hide or not. Can be particularly brutal with outcast rushers if you're unlucky

[serene elk]

I’ve resorted to using materials to level Yaahl and SC

[neon wyvern]

having a build that can take a lot of damage sounds good on guardian

[serene elk]

I do not have the patience for DZ grinding

[real creek]

Guardians
• When killing an angel, in addition to restoring armor to full, 50% of total armor is added as bonus armor.
• Increased damage buff from 30% to 50%.
• Minions now receive 15% of incoming damage instead of being invincible.
• Damage buff duration increased from 10 to 15 seconds.

[serene elk]

Blue strikers time 😭

[real creek]

New changes might make it a bit better tho.

[neon wyvern]

yes

[prisma beacon]

there's a fire rate buff

[lone valve]

its hb tech tank time

[neon wyvern]

gotta bumrush the guardian controller before he runs to the nearby territory control

[magic atlas]

I'd rather just shock trap and then chill

[lone valve]

before he hops on a heli to nyc to hide

[neon wyvern]

lmao

[serene elk]

I’m glad this is on and Hollywood is out

I didn’t bother with Hollywood in the slightest

[neon wyvern]

Hollywood is a bad global event hopefully the buffs make it better

[magic atlas]

I should probably start the season pass tbh

[neon wyvern]

it felt like all downsides even with mortar build

[tender wave]

Yes, that 15% damage is a big relief for hc players. The other ge upgrades next season sound pretty good too

[full zinc]

hollywood one the best events 🤣

[tender wave]

Apart from the reanimated one anyway

[full zinc]

guardians is terrible, shd exposed is meh, the rest are good

[neon wyvern]

shd exposed Is good

[tender wave]

Hollywood my least favourite by far atm

[full zinc]

i use explosives anyways so its just a free buff

[neon wyvern]

makes me play different

[small spear]

be me, turn on global event, play descent, get stars

[serene elk]

😭

[neon wyvern]

I did that for a bit of hollywood

ravenous wasn't working well

[small spear]

i do that for any GE i don't feel like farming

[tender wave]

Guardians used to be really terrible but they buffed it a while back and now it's only occasionally frustrating

[full zinc]

grinding countdown after your reward track is done is still more efficient for exo* than grinding stars

[small spear]

i'm only going to play golden bullet, shd exposed or reanimated seriously

constitution hall bounties here i come

[real creek]

Reanimated is about to become the proficiency grind event. It'll be chainkiller and determined pistol just smacking out kills.

[tender wave]

One million true sons bounties, all in a row

[small spear]

you know it. i got all of them lined up

[neon wyvern]

and one hyena bounty

[serene elk]

True sons is my favourite faction
My favourite checkpoint is The Choke 😎

[tender wave]

Nah, they're making the acid cloud bigger and more damaging, which means more enemies will die to that before you can headshot them and you'll have to wait for them to reanimate

Or headshot them on the ground, still a time waster though

[prisma beacon]

im just happy to have my chameleon turn into an ouroboros for two weeks

[rocky sparrow]

eagle bearer back with 800 rpm?

[lone valve]

okay once you get on the flow of guardians its fun

the fire rate buff especially

[cyan narwhal]

game started to throw random delta's again

[tender wave]

It's usually fine, they seem to prioritize rushers when assigning guardians which makes it a lot less annoying than it used to be. CPs are still a pain if you don't manage to spawn camp them though

[neon wyvern]

Chameleon is an ouroburos split into 3 buffs

[small spear]

oreo bonus

[tender wave]

And the opening to Air and Space museum when they give guardian to one of those snipers in the towers

[serene elk]

the ones that you can never kill because they’re always in cover

Shoot them once wait five years

[neon wyvern]

what if you do the recruiter mission and the recruiter gets the guardian

[small spear]

big brain

[serene elk]

You’re fighting Keener and a rouge drone gets it 😭

[maiden pelican]

I got the Chameleon like 4 or 5 times.

[neon wyvern]

can skills even get it?

[serene elk]

Idts

But it would be funny if they could

[neon wyvern]

me thinks no

[lone valve]

what if .... YOU become the guardian
does ur team attempt to lure you into red barrels to kill you

[maiden pelican]

I also obtained the Scorpio shotgun from an exotic cache.

[serene elk]

“Bad guys”

Yeah good luck finding the bad guys in this story

[thorny talon]

I wish to play as sudoku bomber from outcast. We need backstory for him

[serene elk]

We get a backstory

It’s in a video tape we get

It shows us a first hand perspective of two outcasts, one of them is a striker/rusher type

[real creek]

I think it's better not to go into these peoples back stories too much. To strap a bomb to yourself and go blow yourself up in order to cause other people harm takes a very mentally broken/programed person. Do you really want to indulge in such a thing?

when do i get the signature weapon?

[leaden forge]

Hey guys...
So what is the fastest/easiest way to get St. elmo?

Recently got back into the game, and the big mag size is something i like 🙂

[real creek]

Level 30.

[jade light]

just hit level 30 and i am assulting the capitol building

[real creek]

Uhhh well it's been years but maybe it's after you get to world tiers then?

[wary tundra]

Yup. On Ubi's site it says lvl 30 and WT 1

[kind veldt]

it's when you complete the "regular" campaign

aka capitol that needs you at lv 30

complete that and you will get it

plot wise things get hairy due BT that they just let you pick heavier weaponry

[sick thicket]

anyone have an idea why matchmaking for incursions is grayed out at the white house?

[kind veldt]

eh.. it's buggy sometimes

you can travel and mathcmake there also

[sick thicket]

exactly yeah. used to be able to matchmake at whitehouse, havent been able to for a good while now

was curious if there was a reason behind it or just who knows

[full zinc]

new patch new bugs...

[lone valve]

Can't matchmake through the matchmake menú

[real creek]

I know there is a bug where you just can't matchmake at all and you have to create a raid go into it then leave it and it should fix that. Not sure if it's the same issue tho.

[fiery cloud]

Hey Vsvm, Souless, Rivens, Kettle, Local

[lone valve]

Never had that
Only thing I know is that the incursion matchmake logo in the matchmake menu has been always greyed out since release

[jade light]

WT 1 woohoo

[broken solstice]

i can gift keys to people apparently. anyone want 4 apparel event keys? i cant use them

[daring turtle]

I have a dumb question. I replayed a mission to get a collectable I miss the first time around, and now Everytime I log on the mission pops up on my minimap as blue and it upsets my OCD is their anyway to turn it back to gray complete saying it was completed. I've beaten it four times now

[jade light]

well i beat the game idk what to do now

[white hazel]

I just installed D2 again yesterday and now there's 4,29GB patch? TL;DR what it's about?

Not expansions is it

[real creek]

Do it again lol

[kind veldt]

You've still gotta do the world tier climbing tho.

Alright, thank you @kind veldt

[gaunt harbor]

man so much changed in the past few months

i am the dumbest person on earth. gifting keys doesnt give other people your keys. it spends your own credits to buy ppl keys omg

[broken solstice]

i just bought my buddy 3 keys for no reason lol

[real creek]

YEET

[broken solstice]

i hope someone slaps me tomorrow so i can remember to try to be better

[sick thicket]

[broken solstice]

well at least i used some of the credits i accidentally bought two packs of bc of a friggin laggy ubi store

[white hazel]

Okay, what was the thing I needed to do to fix the grey colors? I can't use full screen windowed. FPS goes to like 10 and the colors are grey. HDR is already disabled in Windows.

Managed to disable grey colors, fps still 10 :D

Now I fixed the FPS but grey colors are back

[cinder nacelle]

Am I going crazy or did they sneak in an apparel event that wasn't there before?

Seems like a recycled event. Weird.

[broken solstice]

it is

[cinder nacelle]

Well, I won't complain since I didn't do this on this account even though I seem to have most of the stuff.

[tulip moon]

lets not complain about extra stuff they added.

[lone valve]

Them rerunning apparel events is a good thing tbh

[cinder nacelle]

It's all good but would definitely prefer more of a heads up otherwise you can miss it if you're taking a break or whatever.

[white hazel]

Oh my god D2 feels to good to play after D1

the gunplay, controls and the graphics are so much better than I remembered lmao

[tidal badger]

its really good

[ivory pebble]

anyone else have issues currently or in the past with not getting credit for the friend referral program? I sent the link to my friend from the referral page, he received it, used the link to buy the game, we played 3 main missions or maybe even 4 and I have yet to get level 2 (the first one was received years ago, so not sure how that all went down). I didn't miss anything, right?

[uneven herald]

Just saw the troubleshooting channel, my bad

[sour void]

Noticed that killing enemy Guardians grants increased fire rate, but I can't seem to determine the bonus percentage. Is it 25%?

ah yes i love td1 standard being sold for 20$ while td1 gold is being sold for 5$

[prisma beacon]

whats the schedule for the secret vendor lady?

[frosty wadi]

Well, yea, they are making it clear what version they want you to buy

Why would you buy the game without the dlcs when the game isn’t getting anymore content

[shy musk]

kinda goofy that gold is still more expensive on steam tho 😭

[undone timber]

Well yeah sales come and go

Thats just because different economies

how to reprt a person for not doing anything ?

just sits and hides in the corner and does nothing

[plush otter]

she is available for 24 hours and then relocates over 32, starting on wensdays daily reset, so you can say she is available wensday, friday and sunday, but for different 24 hours as the 32 hours makes it shift 8 hours for friday and sunday

also if you want to know more, or have a table that has her times:

kek two can play that game

lmao he kicked me.... HAHAHAHHAHAHA

[fleet brook]

Getting my bullet king proficient while using 4pc striker with both bag and chest pieces is fun, with the buff active after killing the guardian, using gunner specialization is good also

[ashen urchin]

how much damage do you do?

[undone timber]

Not a huge amount probably

[junior sorrel]

hows the game doing?

[tired granite]

other than people being trollers and toxic its been great

[ivory pebble]

Why after YEARS of Countdown videos, how-to's, etc do BOTTOM FEEDERS still use striker drones, etc to extract? Stop hiding behind your skills and make a DPS build. Hunters 101, they hack ALL of your skills that you can deploy. Striker Drones, Seekers, Assault Turrets and so on. This is not a matter of Getting Good but a matter of Get Smart

[ivory pebble]

Name me a shooter that isn't full of those kind of players. While I don't agree with it, now I know why companies disable voice chat, etc in pvp

[sick thicket]

anyone wanna run incursions on pc? trying to get oreo on my pc account

[fluid meadow]

Carry a jammer whenever you see a player with a hackable skill

Ezpz

[ivory pebble]

Sounds easy. When hunters jam you up with their disruption, you can't change anything. I am not giving up my revive hive for myself or others and my shield for offensive skill players

[sick thicket]

cant find a souuuul matchmaking incursions on pc

😦

[full zinc]

nice way is to let them know to keep turret/drone stored until hunters are dead. you could also just inspect and leave the match before it starts... its usually not an issue tbh. if you know someone is running hackable things just listen for rogue <enter skill here> and shoot it

[ivory pebble]

again, every situation is a different scenario

[full zinc]

well, each scenario you have a weapon, correct?

[ivory pebble]

listen. when I am in the middle of blzck tusks and hunters who have hacked a drone, etc, do you expect me to target a drone? lmao. you are hysterical

[full zinc]

i run a lot of countdown, its not that big a deal... if you start your own matches you can build check/kick and that solves the issue as well. ig you dont run a lot of invaded missions where enemy skills are common

[halcyon radish]

there's lot of options, like what local suggested, find a known group, or don't touch countdown at all

[fluid meadow]

The latter being what most go for

Legendary farm ftw

[tired granite]

irl war

[subtle quest]

It’s actually sad how wrong you are

[sick thicket]

must be EU servers

or NA

[lone valve]

I doubt people bringing skill builds into countdown a regional thing let's be honest

[full zinc]

its anywhere. its not that frequent tho, tbh. im surprised op posted stuff here instead of in the match where it would have maybe made a difference 🤔

[halcyon radish]

return player or new player after every sale of the game, can't expect everyone did prior research b4 join game

[sick thicket]

then you get into asian servers in countdown

[lone valve]

Yea

[sick thicket]

western culture = more likely to see skill builds in countdown

[random quest]

If I'm farming targeted loot in a mission/general at this current point I've got two options that takes around the same time with my skill and build:

• Challenging with all 5 directives (12-15 minute Coney Island)
• Heroic with 1-2 directives, could do 3 but would rather not do more. (15-20 minute Coney Island)
  What is "best"?

[full zinc]

what is the xp difference?

challenging is more xp in that config but gonna have slightly worse rolls

just go heroic for farming gear

[fluid meadow]

Challenging is like crafting improvised gear

You might get shitrolls or the best godroll you could ever want

With the right rolls too

[full zinc]

if 3d on heroic itll only be 20k less xp than 5d challenging , i would fog/no regen/spec ammo since just using skills anyways.

all that being said, the better gear farming is in countdown

[silent nymph]

So, weird question but did the lullaby shotgun have a different talent before? Cause I was wondering if it did before getting the talent that the sweet dreams shotgun has

[serene elk]

Me bringing my mortar builds into countdown

[random quest]

My thoughts were on the targeted loot specifically, since each directive increases the chance for targeted loot alongside the normal loot, but heroic drops more loot in general, so I was just curious ^^

[full zinc]

heroic also raises what the minimum rolls can be so will be better in general when it comes to optimizing

[full zinc]

Lootcifer needs those type of sacrifices 😈

[random quest]

What I was asking wasn't about rolls, I know the benefit there heroic wise, but targeted loot.
Would I, in general, get more of the targeted loot - amount of items - on challenging 5 directives or heroic 1-3 directives, considering the time increase.

[real creek]

This isn't a general question tho, this is a how good are you question. You are going to have different results vs me vs some noob vs RNG. You'd have to spreadsheet your drops and compare if you wanna know.

[full zinc]

if you want quantity, the most will come from countdown, not missions.
when youre asking about the difference in heroic over challenging its gonna boil down to the rolls.

youll run more challenging than heroic in the same timeframe

countdown is a 15 minute mission thatll give in the range of 40 items within that 15 mins

and the target loot is selectable

[random quest]

It's a bit of both. I was merely wondering if anyone had some numbers on what "Each active Directive Slightly increases the chance for a targeted loot item to drop alongside a normal loot drop." actually amounts to. I apologize, I phrased my first question wrong, I wanted to know the numbers to draw my own conclusion.

Then once I had that I would factor in how heroic overall rolls better than challenging vs. the time spent. Since I'm looking for specific items - and don't want to care about the rolls - I was wondering if 5D Challenging had a better drop rate of targeted loot over 3D or lower Heroic.

[real creek]

Idk but shouldn't you be looking at just loot/min?

[glad sapphire]

can anyone explain why/how bots end up in countdown and leaving?

[real creek]

No bots in game.

Lots of people do have issues with crashing in countdown tho.

[glad sapphire]

its always the guys with low to no SHDranking

[real creek]

Are these people dying?

[fluid meadow]

Enthusiastic/probably kicked by countdown leader they didn't leave on their own ig

[real creek]

Oh yeah I forget kicking is a big thing too.

[glad sapphire]

they not moving or afking 200m behind the groups....been like that for 3days now..

[fluid meadow]

Especially heroic

[glad sapphire]

ppl play other difficulties???

[fluid meadow]

Oh i thought you meant when matchmaking.

[hybrid ore]

Challenging in Countdown is actually almost Heroic, due to the weird way it scales because of the 8 potential people.

So Chall/Heroic are both heavily populated.

[rich arch]

Are there any Russian speakers here?

[real creek]

Not sure if there are new bugs with countdown but I haven't seen many people post about them. I would say countdown is always spotty as it's a mix mash of noobs who know nothing and over confident vets who don't care to help the new players.

[sick thicket]

load times are a bit inconsistent for all players. so some will all be loaded in and at a hunter while people still haven't

[glad sapphire]

so WAITING FOR OTHER PLAYERS doesnt work either..

[sick thicket]

lol noticed it on both console and pc, while running ssds on both. seems to be random

[hybrid ore]

@rich arch If you want to ask in other languages for other players, feel free to do so via any channel with "LFG" in the name.
Can also look for a clan in them too.

[eager nacelle]

I have found that sometimes these low level people that do that in countdown are staying far enough behind where they can still collect all the team xp for each countdown mission without being close enough to take damage.

[thorny raft]

does the coyote mask drop in invaded jefferson trade center?

[broken solstice]

It can

[hybrid ore]

@thorny raft If you're asking if it specifically drops from the Named Enemy in there; not without Targeted Loot (TL), no.
but you shouldn't be doing JTC for Coyotes Mask anyway, just go straight to TL: [Mask] and either Countdown or Directives, chall or higher.

[glass pasture]

looking for an active clan that does pve content and darkzone

[glass pasture]

recently switched to pc and sold my xbox

[glad sapphire]

its nearly impossible to get the mask if TargetLoot isnt set to MASK and i recommend at least 2 Directives - TODAY try ViewPoint Heroic 2+directives

[thorny raft]

ok thanks guys

[glass pasture]

Anyone wanna do all the hunter in both dc and ny

[full zinc]

only non invaded if farming the boss. boss alone has a chance outside of tl allocation

[placid citrus]

steam sale, got it for 15 bucks

[queen kestrel]

If I have a mask with a chd of 11%, can I bring that up to 12% somehow without recalibration, or rerolling

[untold junco]

When does the dz not become aids?!1!1!1?1?1?1!1?1?1!1!????!!1111

[kind veldt]

optmization

[queen kestrel]

Can you optimise multiple slots, just not recalibrated ones

[undone timber]

You can optimise every slot just be careful optimising rerolled slots as it completely locks the item in

[topaz sorrel]

Are there any red builds that are quite close to like striker without playing around stacks?

[undone timber]

?

Wdym by playing around stats

[topaz sorrel]

stacks* my bad

[undone timber]

Well negotiators dilemma is a nice one to have

[sterile ferry]

why are there 3 vendors selling nightwatcher

[undone timber]

God knows

[sterile ferry]

i dont think even god knows either

[kind veldt]

just basic crit build with obliterate is the most simply straitfoward in terms of tha

still has stacks but thye are smaller and come from crits

made to work in mostly use with full auto guns like basic striker

[lone valve]

Surplus of nighwatchers

[topaz sorrel]

Im currently using obliterate on my striker build as well

So switching from striker obliterate to non striker crit obliterate, how do i determine the diff more or less?

[small spear]

what's the non-striker set

[kind veldt]

instead of juggling a bigger stack for bigger damage you only manage one stack

[small spear]

yeah just play nego tbh

it's basically close to high end in terms of damage and gets better than high end when you get the chd stacks from kills

[cosmic zodiac]

hey chatroom, my manhunts refusing to progress. doing these sidemissions is not giving % at all

[undone timber]

Best multi target dps in the game

[undone timber]

Afaik it's broken and you need to reset

[cosmic zodiac]

reset what, the control point/world stuff?

oh

the manhunt, got it

will try

[sterile ferry]

non-yellow open world stuff dont give any progression toward manhunt

[cosmic zodiac]

well yeah duh

but i there arent yellow versions of the side missions either

[placid citrus]

should i optimise umbra or striker

[sterile ferry]

the only yellow side missions are for keener's manhunt

[undone timber]

Striker

[cosmic zodiac]

this current manhunt asks for sidemissions^^

that were not yellow before, just regular

[sterile ferry]

but not yellow

because manhunt bounties take place in the same area

[cosmic zodiac]

i do not know what you are saying. what im talking about is that when i complete
Taxi Graveyard for Mel Arnold - missing target
the next mission it points out is Greenhouse Community sidemission which does not exist on the map, i cant progress this manhunt

[undone timber]

How many side missions have you done in all

Also if there's some kinda side mission I'd imagine it's at castle

[cosmic zodiac]

100% main missions 100% side missions

[sterile ferry]

even the 5 hidden ones?

[cosmic zodiac]

idk what that means, i just cant find the side mission which is Greenhouse Community that this manhunt wants me to complete
this link contains what my manhunt board looks like under Mel Arnold after completing the Taxi Graveyard
https://imgur.com/a/apxum7G

[undone timber]

There's side missions that you have to find a mission giver for, they were referring to those I'd imagine

OH ITS A BOUNTY LOL

[cosmic zodiac]

guh

why is it named the same as a mission

[real creek]

lol yeah look for a yellow bounty

[sterile ferry]

...

[small spear]

brug

[cosmic zodiac]

so i have to go into the bounty window to find this

thats cool, not at all convoluted

[small spear]

that's just a new thing to learn, that's consistent with every single bounty

[undone timber]

In fairness to the game it is marked with a bounty icon

[sterile ferry]

is this your first season?

[real creek]

In farness I hardly know what a bounty icon is.

[cosmic zodiac]

see if i look up Greenhouse Community for the division 2 its gona bring up the side quest

[sterile ferry]

green house community IS a side mission

[cosmic zodiac]

yeah but its also a bounty

if you look at the image i posted

[sterile ferry]

manhunt bounties are always refered too as WORD one and WORD tow

[undone timber]

It's a common mistake with people new to manhunts

It's always either a CP or a bounty

[sterile ferry]

for example the first bounty in a target is called "echo one" and the second bounty for a target is always something like "delta two"

[cosmic zodiac]

been just too long since ive played this game tbh

[sterile ferry]

ONE and TWO

[neon wyvern]

delta 3

[real creek]

Lets be honest, the season menu is garbage and how the manhunt progression goes is pretty garbage too.

[cosmic zodiac]

not in the manhunt

look at the picture, jebus

[kind veldt]

where is the picture?

[cosmic zodiac]

i did the sidemission, its not on the map anymore, no such side mission exists.

[sterile ferry]

i fricking did

[kind veldt]

you can post stuff in the #ask-td2-community

[cosmic zodiac]

here

[cosmic zodiac]

so you see the bounty icon

[sterile ferry]

https://imgur.com/a/apxum7G

yeah

shouldnt be the case

[cosmic zodiac]

but it is

[kind veldt]

that is the bounty icon

just like flag is teh CP simbol

[sterile ferry]

its a bug im guessing

cause the name of the side mission is written next to the bounty logo

[cosmic zodiac]

it is indeed

[sterile ferry]

the bounty takes place in the same location as the side mission, which is shit design imo

[cosmic zodiac]

there is a lot of buggy stuff in this game

[sterile ferry]

press Esc > Progression > scroll down to side missions,
how many does it say you completed? (NOT the percentage)

[kind veldt]

i mean it's the name of hte location, most of the time people skip and end up having progression blockers like that

thats why i dont tell people to boost unless it's their second character

[sterile ferry]

boosting auto completes side mission which would solve this issue?

[cosmic zodiac]

40/40

[sterile ferry]

same for me

so whats stopping you from progressing rn?

[cosmic zodiac]

the game lying to my face

should be all good now that i know its not actually Greenhouse Community that i need to do

[undone timber]

There was confusion with the mission type

[cosmic zodiac]

but some bounty

im not gona look at the icon, im gona follow the text

and the text was plain wrong

[kind veldt]

eh... not really if it's the location

[sterile ferry]

yeah its bullshit

[cosmic zodiac]

bird shot if you google Greenhouse Community Division 2, what comes up

[sterile ferry]

its always control point > bounty > CP > bounty > Main Bounty though

[sterile ferry]

youre right, its the game's fault

[kind veldt]

i'm just saying the name is correct and there is bounty icon in there, yes it doesnt show up in hte main map so it could trick people but at least i learned that this game uses different legends for different things

[cosmic zodiac]

bad user interface design should be a crime

[kind veldt]

it has the bounty icon tho

[real creek]

How would you know that's a bounty icon?

[sterile ferry]

but the name is wrong

open the map? theres a bounty tab with the icon??

[cosmic zodiac]

it should be pretty fool proof

[kind veldt]

https://oyster.ignimgs.com/mediawiki/apis.ign.com/the-division-2/6/63/Bounty.JPG

[cosmic zodiac]

also i cant still see the bounty in the bounty board

[kind veldt]

game has tutorial, you get bounties when you do hostage rescuie missions, some projects, and others stuff

talking to the informant guy he also gives you a bounty and they all show up as that simbol

https://oyster.ignimgs.com/mediawiki/apis.ign.com/the-division-2/8/84/Bounty1.JPG

also it's right up there in the map

[cosmic zodiac]

#ask-td2-community message just to point out how problematic this current design is

[kind veldt]

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/cPVB0Buz6Hc/maxresdefault.jpg

i mean currently it says bounty on the top also so you can always see that the simbol means bounty

[cosmic zodiac]

🤷‍♂️

[kind veldt]

talking about the upper part with projects, conflicts, and etc

[cosmic zodiac]

yet people are making that mistake

[kind veldt]

saying game isnt maliciously hiding information

[cosmic zodiac]

does that mean that this is a good design cause its indicated in other places? but the mistake still happens?

[lone valve]

I have been doing every single manhunt once a new target becomes available since s9(when they implemented this new system)
And I never had a problem with the design or knowing where the game wanted me to go

[cosmic zodiac]

see you said the crucial thing right at the start

[lone valve]

Do CP bounty
Do cp bounty
Rinse repeat

[cosmic zodiac]

"every single manhunt"

its easy when you do every single manhunt

[lone valve]

Yea and it's not that hard to understand
It tells you where you need to go and what 6o do

[kind veldt]

i'm just saying, map has the info #ask-td2-community message

[cosmic zodiac]

this is not about you

[lone valve]

But the system is fairly easy to understand

[cosmic zodiac]

its about people who are either new/havent logged the game in a long time

[cosmic zodiac]

and still the mistake happens, what gives?

[lone valve]

Idk maybe player comprehension is at fault?

[cosmic zodiac]

can you explain to me why people make the mistake if its easy to understand

im not sure why people have a hard-on for defending a mistake gets repeated

[lone valve]

The mistake of not knowing that the system goes cp>bounty>cp>bounty

[cosmic zodiac]

by many different people, you didnt make this game you dont have any skin in the game

yeah, that is indeed something you cant know if youre new/havent logged in a long time and dont remember

you are thinking of this like everyone knows that system which is just not the case

[lone valve]

If you hover over the manhunt target after you clear a cp it'll tell you it's a bounty

[undone timber]

Map has a bounty section marked with the same icon the manhunt bounty is labelled with tho

[lone valve]

There is no way this is that hard to understand

[cosmic zodiac]

you can say that as many times as you like yet the mistake still happens

if it didnt happen i wouldnt be here

[lone valve]

If you know ur doing a manhunt, go to the manhunt section and it'll tell you the name of the bounty and you can go to the bounty menu and select it

[cosmic zodiac]

how do you guys not realize that

if the game was as easy to read as you say it is i wouldnt be here

[cosmic zodiac]

this is also not true

#ask-td2-community message

heres the bounty on the map once you have it

thats not the name of the side mission

idk why the name of the side mission is listed in the manhunt

[mint ember]

hey quick question guys. are there any cosmetics, backpack trophies, or titles for pushing descent? or is it just better loot caches?

[undone timber]

Just loot probably

You get comms but that's just for beating nemesis

[mint ember]

ty

[small spear]

you do get armpatches for reaching high loops, and reconstructed caches that contain named item bps, including dz and named exclusives

[undone timber]

There's more that ain't for nemesis?

[thorny raft]

is countdown the best way to grind for recources?

[sterile ferry]

each season has 5 arm patches you can get, for loops 10, 20, 30 and 40
theres also a patch for nemesis

[mint ember]

Thank you guys

[dawn relic]

the mortar at manning zoo is dog💩

[real creek]

There is a mortar in that mission?

[dawn relic]

the invaded mission

i can tell u , it is horrific

[halcyon radish]

wait until the pulse thing on the later of the zoo

[dawn relic]

the mortar has 100% accuracy and speed

when u see the red circle its too late already

[real creek]

I cannot remember a mortar anywhere in this mission lol

[dawn relic]

it has no delay

[sterile ferry]

invaded version

[halcyon radish]

keep running or find a roof

[dawn relic]

im so sure u didnt even play the invaded manning this week

if u played it u wont say that

the mortar is goddamn cancer, i played it on hard and it makes everything like heroic

[dawn relic]

u know how open manning is, i wont shoot enemies from 200m away

with st elmo

so i rushed out

[real creek]

I get it's invaded but I cannot recall it regardless. It probably wasn't an issue or something to remember tho.

[tender wave]

Lazy approach is to stay inside the tunnel and just throw skills out, for the second area it's much easier to avoid

[dawn relic]

lmao

[dawn relic]

then the target is not on u all the time

if u played solo u will know why

[tender wave]

The notable thing about that particular mortar is the super short time between the red circle appearing and the mortar landing - unless you're already running, it's impossible to dodge (unlike everywhere else in the game, including the final arena of the same mission)

[dawn relic]

if u soloed it or the mortar target is on u, u will definitely remember it

[tender wave]

Also an annoying lack of cover in that first area

[dawn relic]

@tender wave im on full red build, my skill is pulse + shock trap

you expect me to use skill to kill enemies lol

[tender wave]

Just switch builds as soon as you clear the aquarium, you know it's coming

[dawn relic]

welp gonna do it next time, if i have chances to come here again lol

[tender wave]

Hide in the tunnel and hotswap if you have to

[dawn relic]

doing healer or bulwark shield

[dawn relic]

the first area is actually easy

you can hide inside the tunnel, yes, and the range is short

so u can use assault rifles to kill

but second area, damn

thats 200 meters

[tender wave]

Hah, I find the opposite: second area you just run over to the half-destroyed hut thing on the left and camp there, you can shoot out the first mortar and the adds in safety

[white hazel]

Is there a way to make the minimap bigger?

[tender wave]

When everything's dead you just charge up to the second mortar and kill it point blank

[white hazel]

I can't find any settings but I feel like I used to be able to adjust it when I first played this

[tender wave]

You can resize hud elements in one of the options menus on pc

[white hazel]

oh goddamnit the button was right there and I missed it, thank you :D

[real creek]

idk I guess I'll have to run it today to get a refresher. If it isn't that hard I'm coming after @dawn relic

[dawn relic]

try solo

normal / hard is okay,

and see the hell

[real creek]

Straight to heroic 5 directives yo.

[dawn relic]

you will regret it

[tender wave]

It's dealable once you understand it and know what cover works, etc. It's hell if you're expecting to just sniper your way through everything though

[real creek]

I did recruiter solo heroic 5 directive, how hard can that be?

[small spear]

did you find it easy?

[dawn relic]

the whole map is not hard

it is the mortar part abnormally hard

[real creek]

I would now that I understand the last encounter.

[thorny bloom]

Well damn. These Delta 3 errors are getting out of hand.

[small spear]

yeah been thinking of running it solo some day just because they aren't coming out with new legendary stuff

[real creek]

Hutchler did a solo run and said something about maybe sub 16 possible.

[small spear]

yeah i'm not aiming to speedrun, just going to see if 6 red is possible kek

[stark heron]

About fucking time

Coyotes Mask, almost a god roll aswell

Actually can make a proper HBR or lady death build now

[simple spoke]

guys, does the coyote mask still drops on JTC?

[glass pasture]

i have all the hunter masks except 1 and i'm missing 2 ivory keys

[kind veldt]

still drops from coyote boss

[glass pasture]

yes

[real creek]

memento?

[stark heron]

Yeah, I just got it from jtc lol

[simple spoke]

it's my 2nd week, stll didnt drop this shittt

[stark heron]

I aint tried to get it for a while

Cause I spent so long grinding it

[stark heron]

What builds are you unable to make cause of it

[small spear]

nah

[stark heron]

Im just gonna go back to summit

Praying I get a targeted loot ninjabike backpack

[real creek]

I mean a regulus HH up until the boss then just strikers/pfe mods and it should be pretty easy imo.

[small spear]

that's what i have in mind yeah

just need more practice at the boss stage then going for a no wipe run

[stark heron]

Regulus reflector shield builds are wild

[simple spoke]

tried everything, only coyotes mask ismt dropping

[stark heron]

Well it dropped for me on challenging

[simple spoke]

is the mask by coyote boss?

[stark heron]

Yeah

Has to be the regular mission

Rng really aint liking you

[real creek]

You get a one time chance on boss kill and it's not a great % drop chance iirc.

[stark heron]

Honestly, Im only SHD 214, i wasnt expecting to get coyotes mask this early

[simple spoke]

i know

[stark heron]

Ig thats one step closer to a countdown build aswell

[simple spoke]

o challengng it have 4% drop chance

thats not much

[stark heron]

Yeah

Goes up to 7% for heroic

Oh god I just realised lmao

My ttk is gonna be so low cause of guardians also

[simple spoke]

so op this mask man

its the only missing mask in my inventory

[stark heron]

Damn

Yeah it is op as fuck

It makes up for the fact my builds arent optimised

And also a not maxed out shd watch

Oh fucking hell

Lefty from a proficiency cache

[prisma beacon]

the screen shake from the guardian explosions is nuclear

but the sound is not

[ebon parrot]

weapon handling doesnt seem to change liberty or d50 horizontal recoil

[versed lily]

yay first lvl30! ;d

[prisma beacon]

proud of you

[versed lily]

i did it mom!

[real creek]

How much weapon handling? I've got a 100% stability build and it's got a bunch of weapon handling to get there. It does help but 10-15% isn't much.

[white hazel]

What does 100% stability look like? No recoil?

[full zinc]

now just imagine if guardians was on as well 😆

[neon wyvern]

imagine golden bullet buff but without the rof

[real creek]

Stability is weapon sway.

So while sniping there is no weapon movement unless you move it.

I guess aim punch and screen shake too tho.

[timber hatch]

For whatever reason handling will effect vertical recoil but not horizontal recoil

[white hazel]

Oh right, things are little different from D1, which I just came from :D

[sage parrot]

yo hii everyone who is good in making builds? i might need some help 🙂

[pliant sentinel]

what u tryna make, also #td2-build-advice

[sage parrot]

i really dont have any clue how to work on the certain stuf you know with rolling things on and whatever

[broken solstice]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaeXWXPVu1A heres a beginner guide to recalibration and stuff

he does a good job of explaining clearly and not assuming you already know a bunch of stuff

[full zinc]

check out the pinned spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice many proven builds for any playstyle

[somber hedge]

I just finished the dlc and unlocked all the endgame stuff. Can i already do "Challenging" mission difficulty or should i farm on lower difficulties for gear? Using a skill build with random gear right now

[real creek]

Just try it. I'd say if it takes too long just restart at a lower diff. Could also check out the builds localdeck mentioned in the message above yours.

[full zinc]

You'll be fine. Skill builds, with minimal effort, can push through higher difficulty content that isnt raid/incursion/countdown

Once you have some sort of dps set like striker I would suggest challenging countdown for farming. Lots of loot drops compared to missions/openworld

[somber hedge]

@full zinc i will try that, it just dumps all of the endgame activities on you at once. So i'm figuring out what to do first and if i can still complete the season pass stuff

[full zinc]

Yeah no rush for sure

You have 5-6 weeks left in the season

[somber hedge]

I should just keep guardians on as well right?

[wise basalt]

for my white death, the stability bar above the drop off graph shows that its max. Does that mean I have 100% stability? In the stats tab tho, stability sits at 63%, so is the bar bugged? I still notice sway when aiming down scope (i changed the 'hold to aim' to no in settings to make sure the sway wasn't from my hand micro-moving the mouse)

[real creek]

Stats page tells you what you need.

[kind veldt]

stability is how much gun shake you get from firing
