walker harris named chest with perfect headhunter
the setup i listed hits around 29-30mil on the top end with an m700 tac
reg headhunter work just as well tho
i think mantis is higher base damage or very close
Yeah, but I'm still shd 75 so, Im afraid I can't yet
Have you guys been opening up overworld chests now?
suggestions for summit 100 legendary now? its a bit overtuned. everytime a single hunter deploys a a turret skill it deploys 2x of said item, and the damage of all their skills seemed tuned up quite a bit
most of the videos ive seen solo are just people getting lucky with bad hunter skills or the ai breaking and them just standing there
ive done it on heroic 2nd try
with @random quest
legendary fren š
Foam is good against them so the other guy can dps
sorry should have specified solo as well
oof alrighty
yeah not sure what to do, tried a tank and throwing my artificer and that doesnt really matter because they will break a tier 6 bulwark in 1 melee
tried status effect, and you just cant do enough damage with they are CC'd/or the second one will just immediately flank you while 1 is ccd and youre dpsing, tried my normal legendary striker build, and the aforementioned skills are just too powerful to not die (they had a striker that essentially seemed like it 1 shot me, full armor and health to dead in 1 second)
maybe ill try 1 shot sniper but i dont think its possible to keep the headhunter buff from the trash mobs by the time you move into the hunter room and they spawn
anywho, any suggestions welcome, PM me if you read this later
Use achilles for the first kill, HH to kill the second
Or in a group just oxy them
Do you know their HP off hand? Im pretty sure they have more than 40 million hp solo dont they?
ill give it a go tho, let you know if it works š
I think its in the 30s, but definietly less than 40m when your solo
This is when you bring out the PFE strikers or Blue Strikers
whats blue strikers ?
Strikers but with blue cores/attributes. can be a mix of red and blue but mine's all blue
what is PFE striker?
i only use it in one room in the entirety of the game XD
Striker with Protection from Elite mods
for my build I use Catharsis + 4pc Strikers + 1 pc Improvised Kneepads
i did full red striker but replaced the 3 crit mods with 3 13% pfe hehe
beat tidal legendary with full red thanks to it
PFE strikers is the underrated dark horse everyone should give a go with
it makes some of the harder stuff more comfy without sacrificing too much damage
Sniper got them
thanks guys!
In case anyone has issues, i used regular old 4 piece hotshot, chainkiller and gift (i cant get those HG god rolls to drop) used determined white death to clear the trash then switched to nemesis for the hunters, i dont think any of my achilles landed, but i got lucky and kill the first in 3 shots, killed the second in 1
Honestly the Iron Lung is kinda meh imo
Artillery what could you switch up to go higher than 65% PFE on that build im having a brain fart atm
cause a PFE red strikers seems like something i should give a try
are there any known issues NOT gettin blueprint out of the reconstructed caches by defeat the nemesis ??????
It's 50% chance
you can do survivalist for 10% more
to get a cache i know
Do you have them all? Total is 488
but every other cahes i get there was allways a blueprint in
you probably got all possible blueprints
494 are all i got 476
Then yea you probably have them all for now
hm but couldnt be cah 476/494 are not all
Other blueprints are from past seasons and raids
yes, if you missed past seasons there's no way to get the blueprints for those
hmm ok i will check that tomorrow now i got to raid with my bed hahahaha
It's bugged that's why it shows 494
like striker, HF blueprints
anybody know how I can see what materials I need to optimise?
it's not enough for me to know I can't I want to know what I need
when optimizing, it lists all of the requisite materials and amounts per stage at the bottom. Insufficient per stage are in red, and sufficient, green.
all it says is insufficent materials
cost to optimize "you don't have enough materials"
you haven't actually selected the item for optimizing. What you're seeing is because you only highlighted the item.
screenshot it
will send in #ask-td2-community
so its a bug š
Don't you just love it when your potato Internet erases your descent run right near the end?
Don't use sky its trash
So, THIRD snowdrop crash IN A ROW in Countdown at extraction. I'm beginning to think it's intentional. š
I bet on whether I crash or not whenever I play countdown and I usually win by saying 1 in 4 that I will
I must be luckier than you... so far it's 3 in 3. LOL.
My PC would explode if I tried to play div 2 on it
Let alone crash game
I wish Lady Death wasn't so... kinda bad
Used to be so good
Then everyone wanted it nerfed
Got lucky.with a matador blueprint from a cache earlier now for emperors guards
I dont remember it being nerfed
I wanted the gun, not the nerf :(
What was the nerf? I really cant remember it
Yeah but Iām not level 1k on the watch I wish ubi would make it faster to level from 40 shd watch lvl 1 - 1000 ( so youād have it maxxed ) then every level after would be how it is now I feel that would encourage more people to play the game and try it out possibly currently shd lvl 157 with no way of getting materials besides spending my watch scavenge point on what I need I have roughly 800+ control points to clear ( with directives n heroic ) to finally be able to have a ābuildā and truly feel like Iām playing the game itās just hard to bring myself to play when I want to when itās ridiculously hard to get anything worth my time hope thereās more improvements to help us ALL that arenāt level 1000+ so we can ALL enjoy using and doing what we love the most and thatās being an Agent.
Damage reduction I think
Really dont remember that, was it a pvp modifier thing?
Can you get the bighorn from count down and if not whatās the easiest way to get it??
Legendary content
Best way to get it is legendary summit I think
If you ask me, if you already got a bighorn, great, but if you don't, you probably don't need one, in PvE, there's better guns, and in PvP, it's bit meh rn
Ok cool thanks for the advice man but I come from destiny 2 so I have a need everything ever just in case it becomes meta mind set lmao but Iāll give it a shot thanks
FOURTH snowdrop crash IN A ROW (4/4) in Countdown at extraction. š¤¬
Is it just me or is the only actual effective way to get materials is be above level 1000?
No. You can starting hoarding them from character level 1. Just loot every duffel bag, toolbox and chest you find. They quickly pile up. Pretty much every activity as well awards resources of some type.
So if I wanted ceramics what activity should I farm ?
Cus being level 157 there feels very few possibilityās
SHD level doesn't have anything do with it really. Each faction drops a resource type. So if you want ceramics, do Outcast activities. They drop the most. Bounty bosses award keys where you can unlock the faction lock boxes which have a chance to drop 100.
few control points have lots of boxes and deconstructing materials also
Go do all the hostage/execution activities related to outcasts to get outcast bounties and complete those. Take all the outcast control points. Along the way, open all the green toolboxes, orange duffle bags and black chests you see.
fastest way to earn materials for optimizations? or should I just farm perfect rolls?
Go to Inventory > Resources > [Resource Name]. It will display the means. So, in your 'ceramics' example, it states, "Dropped by Outcasts".
I did my first legendary mission today, and I got the Bighorn:)
Legendary seems fun actually, huge change of pace from the usual Heroic missions
Nice. When it first came out, it took me 40 Leg completions. Not to defecate on your pancakes, but after the novelty wears off, you'll find the BH to be more of a wall decoration; it shines neither as an AR, nor as a BR. That's why you never see it being used, other than by the aforementioned recent recipients.
You could, there are a couple (afaik) that can help you. CP's, deconstructing stuff (farm in countdown for example), buy Optimisation Cache's...
That's what I usually do, Im a newbie still so, it may help
Yeah I probably won't use it much, it's just a cool moment and that's it lol
legendary works as a serie of small challanges rooms
yeah, they have fixed spawns, so you're meant to strategize
I can confidently say rogue teams in division are the biggest crybabies jesus. Went into DZ and had a 2 man group talking trash cuz they lost a gunfight they initiated then proceeded to spawnkill the server in response lmao
what
They both lost a "gunfight" and then spawn-killed an entire server, so I guess at first they weren't really trying?
it sounds like they are farming the server and screaming random gibberish
which makes perfect sense for the DZ
I mean, that is almost a lore-perfect depiction of the DZ, it's true.
Madness and you are going to die, perfectly DZ.
True. Def obnoxious tho since they can shoot you going out the door and you cant do much for roughly 3 seconds till the animTions done
Have you thought about moving to a different door?
I have. Atp i only went through the door to kill them repeatedly lol
lost interest in DZ loot. Had my fun killin em now imma go back to incursions
Iron lungs surprisingly helpful against overhealth build rushers.
whats the price of reconstructed caches
I started playing the game and I'm really lost can anyone help me
what do you need to know
I actively use it
Thing shreds heads
297
ty
Yeah I know that š
God I need so much SHD recal mats
What's your current SHD level?
ahahaha ratio
Like 500 something
Optimization is expensive is all
Been having a real time trying to get the chest I need to complete my build
157 š
@sterile scaffold Okay so, Optiming gear is only really for the "end end game", you're kinda too new to bother with it yet.
The idea behind it is to farm out the best piece possible, nearly perfect, and then optimise the last few bits, or not at all if you get a godroll.
To help with that farm, the best thing to do is make sure you play on Challenging or higher, and have a clear goal in mind for your build.
I'm not new, I had to start over with a new account
I've already got God rolls on everything else, it's just the last one that has refused to give me what I need so I've been having to slowly optimize it
Okay I know I'm going to regret this, but "had to start over", meaning console to PC or you got banned?
My old Ubisoft account got deleted
Banned, gotcha.
No like my account was stolen and deleted years ago
Someone stole your account just to delete it, or the characters on it?
Idk, lost my entire account with all my other games
Tried going through support but only got a brick wall so just kinda gave up and moved on
Ubi' are capable of returning deleted characters from your account, even if the account was hijacked by a hacker or something.
Happened to me back in 2017/2018
Should try again
No no my Ubisoft account was deleted, not my Div 2 character
Like my entire account
I lost Div 2, Div 1, Ghost Recon, and several other games I had
Afaik you have 30 days to claimed it back
There was this data breach around that time so I think someone yoinked my creds and had my account deleted
Do you have 2FA now ?
Like I can't even access my decade old Roblox account anymore either, their support stone walled me same as Ubi did
This was years ago back when Div 2 first launched and yes I do
Any chances that theyāll return recruiter bundle in shop?For slowpokes,or returned players
Possibly later, no official word yet.
@sterile scaffold What's the 1 piece you're missing?
Need a better Sokolov chest
What's the build?
Is the black out bundle already out the store?
I thought they didnāt rotate I thought it stays. Just bought v day hoodie and wanted that mask :/
Guess Iām going with the baby face mask
Bundles are time-limited items, it's like if a store has a "30% off today only" kinda thing.
Crit damage via Vector
Like, high-end or gearset?
actually nevermind, just send a screenshot of the main page, and the page with stats on it over in #td2-build-advice
I don't need build advice, I have already cleared all the legendary missions solo, just need to keep grinding to finally get that dang Sokolov chest up to snuff
I have the one I'm using which is almost maxed out, but I'm slowly improving the other one I picked up which is closer to being maxed out
It's up to you if you don't want to take advice.
Don't need any, already got my general DPS, infinite health, death by skills and legendary load outs
Just polishing off the general DPS since the game doesn't want to give me the Sokolov chest I need
Despite targeting it in the Summit the game seems to think I really want Badger stuff
is anyone else unable to get reconfig blueprints for the new exotics
When donating a weapon to lvl up expertise does it have to be the same tier?
Like Iām trynna donate my purple m700 into my high end one but it dosent show up
i dont think you can donate purple anything
Gotcha so high end only
Honestly I'm not a fan of third attribute rerolling for exotics, I wasted 10 exotic components and more just to get damage to target out of cover for my big horn and it wasn't even godrolled, so stupid
better than not having it at all
Make sure that you raise your difficulty to Challenging at base pretty soon, it stops you from getting purples from enemies.
so do yall have the same issue with reconfig bps
Welp, my bighorn went from 15% weapon damage to now 12.3% weapon damage but with 6% damage to target out of cover instead of 10% CHD, I wonder if it even was net gain
optimize it
I just started world tier 1 bout to do storg gold and go to world tier 2
And optimising is still super expensive and honestly, everything is a grind, I get sucke back into that era of grind that is just waste of time
Iām doing 2 missions and a stronghold
WD is the least useful stat on a gun, you really should know that if you are at the point of spam reconfiguring exotics.
But if thatās the case wonāt I be outta strongholds by tier 4?
i mean its a looter shooter, yeah everything is a grind
get good
does directives increase the chances for a item to drop?
Haven't even gotten the reconfig BPs yet, think it's bugged atm
it increases the chance of a targeted loot drop
ok just making sure lol
Wait, World Tier 4?
don't bother doing Expertise stuff yet. It won't count for later on.
I used to have fun grinding but now it's no longer fun, countdown feels like a chore
ah got it. thanks
play a different game.
^
Expertise? Itāll carry over
Thatās the only thing Iāve rrrsd online you can prep early
Is leveling up expertise
Lvl 0-30 is different to Lvl 31-40, they don't carry over.
So Iāve been donating all my extra high ends to level em up. Thereās no 31-40 selection in expertise
Only library has the 1-30 31-40
I do miss being able to take multiple exotic weapons/equipment
That and that support station, god that thing was the best
I'm almost certain that it doesn't carry over, unless its just the Library.
god div2 needs streamlining.
Yeahh
It's like in Descent, to start it you walk in, slow walk over, then press a button and then slow-walk for another 3 seconds then you can move normally.
it would be broken in this game
BLB/Ouro is not something i wanna see
Yea proficiency carryās over no matter the level. Itās the library and extraction thatās level based. Proficiency carryās over cause itās based on any level weapon. Itās not going on the level just the profiency level
And? I'm already broken with my DPS
no i mean
I can melt named bosses on Heroic
A purple can melt bosses on Heroic.
It's PvE, being a god is part of the fun
BLB stands for...?
blb/ouro would be significantly unbalanced
busy little bee
Knew it
Balance in PvE is irrelevant
lol no its not
Just let us have fun, limit that stuff in the DZ and PvP stuff
you just want power creep
Balance in PvE is incredibly important, this is not Just Cause 3 where you can tie 2 people together then explode an oil tanker.
I just want to have wacky builds with the various exotics
or 1 shotting bosses
you wouldnt have that if you allowed more than one exotic weapon at a time
youd have everyone running the exact same build even worse than now
One wish for div2: delete Striker.
just exaggerated numbers
revert to old strikers
It has absolutely killed build diversity ever since the old buffs. It's just so irritating that entire classes of weapons are now called "useless" because they can't be taped to Striker.
Should I wait to fight the hunters till after New York? Get better gear
well the enemies will also be harder so
@primal girder You can change the world Difficulty for Hunters later on if they're too hard, don't worry.
If I do hostage rescues in world tier 1 for bountyās. Will they save when I go into world 2 if I donāt do them??
It would be elmo Scorpio regulus for me than 
it would be so broken
Meta chasers will always do that, I'm talking about wacky things like combing some of the crazy exotic talents with each other
That's not power creep tho
Once you do WONY, World Tiers vanish entirely so don't worry about anything before that.
"i want everything to be effective and whats currently effective to be even more so" yes thats power creep
All that would result in is everything being nerfed.
Ouro would be just another vector, Coyotes would be a ceska mask with a fancy skin.
div 1 got away with it cuz exotics were pretty junk
So just do 2 missions and stronghold ?
I wanna go thru zoo and coney before ny Iām not in a rush
Even tho Iām resdy to stat the end game grind
Yeah exotics in div1 were pretty much just regular guns with 1 weird thing, exotics in div2 are like, they're not "better" than gold/gearset loot, but they're a side-grade in an upper way, if that makes sense.
each stronghold has 2 missions once you do those then you can do tidal basin to get to WT5
So what do you do in world tier 4? If your outta strongholds at 3
Yeah
Yes but if thereās two missions and a stronghold. So world tier 4 is tidal basin?
tidal basin
yes
And then 5 is the zoo and coney ?
once youre at wt5 thats "endgame"
Yes but what about the zoo and coney and shit I wanna do everything story wise before ny
The outside DC missions (zoo/coney/darpa, etc) are all done at WT5 if you're following the story.
thats endgame
Bet so tidal basin is 4 and then 5 is zoo coney then I go to ny?
I shafted an expedition mission at some library but shit was so boring I left anything there important?
any missions once youre at world tier 5 are considered endgame
Baby end game
Without the dlc it would be endgame
With diapers
Unlocking the three specializations is what seems like itās gonna be a pain. Working firewall now
gunner is the worst of them
And once you beat capitol building it says replay mission on legendary difficulty to earn daily. So after I finish world tiers. I can do captain once a day on legendary?
get ready for pain
once you get to level 40 there is a weekly project to complete a legendary mission
the mission rotates weekly between capitol, dua, and roosevelt
Yes I unlocked a shit ton of projects when I unlocked world tier 1 but Iāve done all of the ones for side quest so Iām not worried about those. Also finished collecting all the shd crates and side missions here for now. Finally got the drone lady to give me here two
I run technician for the free skill tier
k
tech gets a free skill point of the rip??
it gives a free skill tier
but you end up missing out on armour on kill that you can get from gunner
which is more useful for most people with dps builds
Every spec has its uses. It's mostly preference and depending on your skill/play style it could have more or less use depending on the situation.
Yeah I like tech cause of the skill tier which is handy with my shield and repair drone
Unlocking them is just a pain in the assss
It's all just stuff to do. Just pick a thing and work at it a little here and there.
Is there a brand set that gives 15 hsd that isnāt prov?
Yes doing firewall now all I got left for first tier is 6 more scorchers
Habsburg
š
Just know Habsburg rolls with blue core.
hesdships?
Same lol
what..?
What
I'm questioning what that means
Yāall speaking foreign
Head shots sorrry playing didnāt know your werent capable of understanding
headshots dont drop special ammo wdym
Yeah it's hard to connect dots when they don't add up lol
especially when the dots are still in division 1
Ya I was lost for a minute
Yea they do For my special weapon
We all were lol all good
no exotic drops special ammo on headshots
no weapons do
OD gear set?
Thx again tho
Yeah and it just goes into your gun
Litterly everything I look up says opposite. Even the upsoft websites says how to get ammo for special
For one you have to kill enemies status effected
Idk but I look up how to get ammo for my specialization class and it says for the sniper headshots drop ammo
Special ammo and specialization ammo are two different things.
ohh
Iām not talking about ammo in boxes dude
specialization ammo isnt in boxes?
Iām talking about the specialization class
There is a bar next to your ammo HUD that's horizontal orange lines that filles up.
thats not special ammo lol
No look in up I promise everything is gonna say how to get ammo with each class
Yes I know that
kill enemies
Special ammo is entirely different from specialization ammo lol
you get it when you kill enough enemies
Special ammo is a thing and that's what you said
and you can speed it up by killing enemies in specific ways
You either kill or kill in certain ways
its what, ten kills?
I forget. Just know people are going to get confused when you say special ammo when talking about spec ammo
read how to acquire class ammo under the specialization tree
Look at pic I sent @frozen meadow
you never sent a pic?
I just sent one from Ubisoft website in your messages
thats specialization ammo
What happens if you do all 6 missions in world tier 1
nothing lol
And yes thatās what Iāve been asking
you said special ammo which is something completely different
If you did all 6 then whatās the point of tier 2 and 4
you still have to do the strongholds lol
? How
??
you said special
You have to do the strongholds lol
whatever
10 kills to get a set of special rounds
you can speed it up by getting kills in certain ways
which is what you sent me
Idk why you'd even wanna go out your way to use the spec weapons either tbh
Tac is nice...
The sniper wrecks and Iām a sharp shooter born and raised
Are shotguns good in PvP? Cause itās wrecking pve
not really
It says nothing about shock damage and I donāt have any special ammo in it but itās shocking enemies for some reason
?
scorpio?
no specialization weapons can apply shock
Bro I said shotgun
we should have one
Scorpio
shotgun builds are fairly strong, mostly paired with headshot reg shield builds
scorpio is a shotgun there jack
scorpio applies shock only in pve
Dude just read your talents
^ š
then it was special ammo lol
mate youre making barely any sense
Or a wall electrical box
That too
what gun are you using?
Or you killed a special ammo guy and picked up rounds
or youre the idiot who pressed the button too early after dh 1st boss 
Zappy button
ā”
Spicy water on morazova
Whenever we do Faraday there's always that one guy that fails to evacuate the water
Should I save my faction chest keys till Iām level 40?
PGC users lol
Doesn't matter
I genuinely don't understand why certain teams insist on pgc
And high end
Like stacking is braindead easy
Well boss 2-3 you don't really kill ads and you'd kill them while getting stacks and you'd lose your stacks before more ads... So I get it. We mostly nego boss 2 and 1 shot boss three. I'll usually end up on special roles in morazova too.
Depends on the team and strats used really.
I know at least on 1/4 you can easily get full stacks but like they just kick you if you have strikersš
I know finding groups is different for console but I just lfg in discord. Most of us know the people raiding and 6 stack IH but DH is much easier.
You see a lot of the same people on console but it's not a good thing in this case
skill issue tbh
So it says my expertise level is 9
But when I add up all my profiencys itās higher than 9
Do skill proficiency levels count towards it?
yes
Cause just the gear I have equipped all my proficiency is higher than 9 when I add it up
not sure what youre trying to say
it takes multiple items getting proficient to level up expertise
why doesnt count down show score anymore
Finally your classic line 
bug
ok
I agree with your name even more it was horrible
Anyone who has to use gate strat has a massive skill issue
Give lovebirds the floor 100 treatment 
Definitely like it takes ages
Like I CBA to sit in the back when we could all just run up and kill them faster and both at once
gate strat funny when everyone gets exploded
It's funny when they forget mortars exist lol
does the armour stat on the setup backpack matter]
depends which version of it you're looking for
using it for FI
you want it to be a skill tier. unless you want to run tech spec to make up for the missing skill tier
can it drop wilth skill tier or do i have to swap it
this is gonna be long
you can use one with repair skills and an irrelevant second attribute and turn it yellow. you miss out on a little bit of skill haste. until you can get the unicorn version
wtf bro i just seen a SHD 41k
it happens
thats so many hours
early in the games life there were a series of exploits that allowed players to gain insane amounts of xp really quickly.
Wish they wiped all SHD levels tbh
whats highest legit
We just dont know
It's impossible to distinguish
this game is very mixed for me imo
its like an RPG but unlike Fallout or Skyrim all you do is just fart around and kill these people with flamethrowers until you accidentally freak up and die
How.
i take it you're not at endgame yet
That is exactly what you do in Fallout and Skyrim lol.
In fact thatās probably more accurate in those games compared to div 2
???
If only.
because when you run into the doors of the cars they close
very fun, kept me busy for hours
I'm like 60% sure that I'm one of the reasons they made that an achievment in div2.
that and shooting tyres
i can see everything but the point behind that remark
Arkham subreddit levels of schizophrenia
@low fulcrum If you saw online a general tone of "hate" for this game and thought that you'd get some discord karma equivalent or whatever, that's not really a thing on here. People actually like this game.
i dont hate this game though im just making fun of it because i got nothing better to do with my time lol ill stop now
If you want to hate on games actually have reasons that have factual reasons that arenāt just āgame isnāt like this other gameā
i apologize
okay fr though there are a lot more things to make fun of this game with
but they gotta be relatable
Despite my rage with the developers of this game, this still isnāt the worst ubi game
im gonna start a new game in washington in div2 probably tomorrow
Why
cuz i want to see what washington is like
i hardly played on pc so i dont know what washington is like
Opportunistic 10 but no shotgun
vanguard 10 but no shield
You havenāt been there?š
Gluttony but no Regicide
ok but this game really needs crossplay i want some people to play with but all of my friends and my brother have the pc edition
Mf did you even finish the new york story yet
rise up comrades!
wait, wrong thing.
nope because all im doing rn is farting around and seeing what there is to do ingame
I'm lost
hi lost
You arenāt even in the endgame
look i started in new york because i thought itd look cool and it sort of does but not really
mf is still in the WoNY tutorial
@low fulcrum You can find people to play with very easily once you finish the WONY dlc, it's best to look at it as if it's a way to get from base to the endgame.
no i beat the tutorial im in the base of operations when i start the game and get in
Yeah legit just always do call for backup
Call for backup is the superior way to get players
the point of the game is to complete the story, make builds and conquer content with those builds
thanks binoculars
Div2 is very much a game of slow progress, tiny bits of increases over time, and 100% not a "go straight to the top build meta speed speed right now zoom".
you can do very wacky things with the game but only after you complete the story
"slow progress" man I miss farming convoys before they were nerfed
it's like a sandbox
This game is an rpg by classification, but its a looter shooter, and its endgame reflects that, why still having enough stuff to keep it from being boring
like what
nothing, go to bed.
like sleeping
LMAO
awww but i want to know
like crashing on loop 39
And sleeping
I KNOW WHAT SLEEPING IS
apparently you don't, because you aren't sleeping
I refer back to my previous statement
I do love seeing older subreddits go slowly mad once the thing that they're based around is cancelled/finished.
see also: breaking bad.
I might replay arkham knight
For your sins?
Yea
Don't worry, I understand.
I replayed Rage 2 last week.
My sins being me being lazy and still not having finished alan wake 2
i haven't even finished control
It will never not be funny that they made a game about sleep and the character's name is a pun title on "awake"
it's like making a halo game and the main character's name being Sean Partan.
Minor spoilers below
I went through a very serious hour long chapter that left on a cliffhanger, decided to swap character to play the other story and the first chapter I do is We Sing
Okay now I'm actually more interested in trying it.
Comedic timing is peak in alan woke up
They need a prequel that's called "Terence Ired".
Would you like a clip of it or stay completely blind to what Im referring to
I'll stay blind, I don't really like watching previews of stuff I'm going to play at some point.
Going in blind is what made me try div1 back in 2017ish.
Gameplay wise alan wake 2 is like resident evil lite, with very interesting investigation mechanics and gameplay
Plus well written story
If you donāt like listening to lore or dialogue I wouldnāt recommend it
Actually lore stuff is the main reason that I'd try it, I get fairly into that stuff.
Example being one of the main collectables youāll fine quite regularly is a full paragraph of narrated dialogue by Alan Wake
Its one of the few times I listen to in game lore, even if its not necessary
I'll keep an eye out, cheers.
still have a backlog though.
hell yeah, ninjabike bag
oof. sorry to hear that
got a 2nd mosquito thru the countdown exotic cache so im not mad
might actually get to 100 in the first 2 weeks of play wow don't think i've been through a season pass so fast
we got through season pass 100 in just 7 hours. this game season pass is very fast given all the ways to speed level
This game has one of the most consumer friendly BPs in the industry.
i mean it's not really a BP
doesn't even feel like i've been speed levelling though
you'll get an apparel event some time later and you'll need to learn how to level fast if you wanna get all the outfits for free
that's where speed levelling is really needed
only outfit i really want is keeners
it's rng which one you get from the cache
25 bucks for Keener outfit š„³
you pay around 10 dollars for a pass filled with 100 levels of ingame items. It's a BP lol
that confirmed?
we will get rogue outfits this season
i think he knows hes just asking if its really $25
this
dunno
well last Recruiter outfit was about that price
so if there is 4 outfits this season including Keener, 25 bucks each nets Ubi a hefty hundred. it's pretty sweet deal
however the premium cred required is probably just above the 20 bucks purchase, so you need to buy the next tier up. Same thing has been done for years by Blizzard
they need to change the way the sephard lvl is gained !!!!!!!
3 dozen heroic countdowns no memento š¦
i wouldnt mind joining you later
in my experience, farming for a specific piece is just a recipe for frustration. try not to think about it and play for fun not just to grind a gear piece
I hate the outfits that you can't take apart. I get why they do it, but it annoys me
yup what im doing
yeaah i wish i could use just the pants or shirt from the new outfit in the season rewards
I don't need a CHC and CHD "Closer" chestpiece, I don't need a CHC and CHD "Closer" chestpiece
yeah true
just playing for fun, yeah:(
The gearing system in this game terrible tbh.. the rolls make no sence even if its a dps brandset it has status effect / skill haste if its a skill piece it has headshot damage xD
total mind f
I dunno how anyone gets to SHD 20k tbh playing that long with this gear system must drive them mad
people mix and match parts
I think they are trying to encourage hybrid builds, but most of them don't work at all.
Yeah it totally get that but still a better loot system better be in Div 3 with more build varation
Honestly don't think it's possible with how this genre of games works. Mixed style builds will always be worse no matter what
People with legit high shd levels aren't having any problems w gear. They probably have everything they want and all maxed out and expertised
all red : sniper/shotgun/AR/smg+shield build
all blue: tank build
all yellow : healer/disruptor build
Crit skill builds are actually rly effective in pve
sniper build is a beast in pve
Yeppp
i was SHD 50-100 level when i saw a dude one shot everything with his sniper rifle on legendary
"thats hack"
Lol
A lot of ppl see determined as a kind of a cheat or low level exploit
meh
yeah determined makes it a lot more accessible
i think its fine lol
Sure does
Determined makes mmrs a lot less bs
I find HH Determined highly enjoyable - a little less vs hyenas. I mentioned it before, but I totally respect not wanting to use it. However determined just has a nice feeling to it since I come from being a main awp'er in CS
i think in division 2 theres a role called disruptor (i name it this way)
we have dps / healer / tank right? but theres also a playstyle where a dude just apply tons of status effect like shock/ignite/foam to all adds
it helps a lot in heroic/legendary?
the adds and bosses just cant shoot us lol
Some ppl use blue screen to do that
that's called crowd controller
or CC support, which is served by eclipse/creeping death in this game
scorpio is a godsend against hunters and other high level enemies
we're playing the division while the hunters are playing ghost recon
and those hunters are on easy mode apparently
is expendition still a thing?
like will ppl even do it or match it?
Kenly College is available on a timed rotation last I saw.
Most people play it once, some play it enough times to cap it all out, but after that point there's not a lot of reason to actually run it.
I did play it enough myself to get the Diamondback, but it's not even locked to there anymore so 
lol ok
It was originally (likely) going to be the location of a Resident Evil game mode, but that collab was reduced just down to cosmetics and what could've been.
praying for Lady D skin kekw
bit late on this but the first roll is more likely to be the same color as the core of the brand, so you are more likely to get something that fits that brand than not getting it
This was actually before RE:8, actually I think 7 had just come out at that point.
Yeah there we go, 2021.
but certainly before the bait game that was 8.
yeah RE8 was just announced, at least we got HUNK which is the best skin in the game
internet goes mad for big vampire ladies it seems
I do love that she was in about 10 minutes of that. It reminded me of when they put a famous actor in a lot of a movie's trailer and they're in it for like 30 seconds.
cough Godzilla 2014 cough
I'm actually curious now, what would an actual good tie-in for div2 be.
Like, non-canon or whatever, but something that suits a similar tone.
aka: slightly depressing apocalypse
something something gfl
tho i say it more as a joke
well most of them go full zombies or machine
Something tells me anime doesn't really suit the div2 aesthetic.
You know what, Metro might work, although it doesn't really have a unique enough style to it.
their division themed stuff was great but RE was a good pick i think, last of us could also work
metro also rely a lot on being in russia
Just pretend that they're spec-ops being brought in by Sokolova or something.
Stalker is the obvious answer but again, no specific recognisable stuff.
that reminded me that breakpoint did collab with terminator
mad max i think be too much
I do love the non-canon stuff in Breakpoint.
Wildlands did it great too.
Fallout could work, give us a vault-suit, maybe the armoured one, a dogmeat backpack charm and a pip-boy skin for our skills!
bonus points if they include a Harold the Tree patch.
I'm mostly thinking for the show that's dropping in April.
all i can think has way too much zombies in it
That does tend to infest a lot of apocalypse settings.
crysis is a bit too super suit to fit in the narrow style I've got in mind for div2, but I wouldn't hate the idea of Fear stuff.
incredibly niche though for sure. I think I've got a copy of fear 2 laying around somewhere for the ps3
well 3 goes the route whole situation is screwed beyond where you are
oh how i wish we had duplicate exo protection
DELTA-4 Nice
Like, protection from getting a repeat Exotic?
I can see that causing headaches for people trying to farm out a better roll of a gun.
at least until we've gotten the ones from xyz pool like ar's etc
IDK, the current system where I don't have to get a Chameleon and Capacitor first seems better.
IKR? Free exos!
the Project rework where I get showered in exotics bits is just beautiful.
Got a brand new mp5 to Expertise 15 this week and barely spent any of my new ones.
how long does it take to get to max expertise?
Long enough to numb your mind
1 Countdown run can get you to about rank 4-6 for Proficiency on an item with TL, plus the side bits you get too.
That answer cost me an entire season of Podcats btw.
first crash in countdown
What's a podcat
nerdcubed podcast that he's been running on and off for close to a decade now.
current episode is talking about how the Switch is going to be worse than the wii-u, so it's aged great! :p
psp was ahead of its time
Having actually owned a psp back in the day, it was really pretty.
but like, the games on it were condensed to hell and back for content.
Some of them were quite impressive for the tech but generally yeah just watered down
I've got a bunch of emulators on the phone for older stuff and it's great
Siphon Filter and untold legends I put way too much time into.
3 elmos, one run
wont happen again for another 2000 hours of game time lol
its ok, i was gonna scrap em anyway, so i gave 2 to my team
How are people getting double xp? I get 422k per execution with 5 directives, seeing people get 844k
Haven't watched him in forever tbh
Hello procrastinatiors and welcome to...
Yeah he basically almost retired about 12 times since then, but he's kinda back now and I'm enjoying him more as a background voice.
First 15 levels on release of a new Manhunt target gives you double xp.
Ends after 15 SHD levels obtained.
Oh? Wasn't aware of that, just end up drifting off to other stuff but saw him pop back up in my recommended recently
I mainly just watch the Ashens collabs and podcats from him, but he's fine overall.
never watched him.
Ah, fair enough
And I'd imagine you know, what's this like Incursion thing with the Cleaners? Tried MMing for it since it feels like a raid but seems no one is playing it
Whoever voices Wally, I bet they are a wonderful person irl, but jesus, actually the most annoying character Ive been forced to listen to in this game
wat world tier can the merchant from the snitch start spawning. Iāve found the snitch 4 times before entering world tier 1 and never had the shop show up. Now that Iām in world tier 1 I didnāt know if she can sho up now if I find the snitch again
Iām still a newbie in division 2, how do libraries recalibration work?
Nope the manhunt is over i found kelso shes in the whitehouse telling me to go to new york! badaboom!
So the library is where you take out talents and stats from weapons and gear to store away. You can use these talents and stats on any other gun or gear you wish to change up so long as you have the stat/talent you want
Only itmes you canāt take things off is exotics, but you can optimize them
You sacrifice items when you put talents/stats in the library as well. Stats in the library can be rolled as many times as you want as well.
Thereās also a small triangle in the stat or a library symbol in the talent which tells you if you have the talent, or if your stat in the library is higher, equal to, or lower than the itemās roll
Does anyone know if the Washington monument hunter is bugged because it wonāt spawn for me even if I do everything right
I'm totally a "no stupid questions" kinda guy, I respect reaching out, but the simple questions about how the Tinkering Station works somewhat baffles me, because even with 2-3-400 hours in Division 2, when Project Resolve landed I had a well-described informative popup the first time I opened the Tinkering Station about how every aspect worked. Just makes me wonder if people skip those - and if there should be a button to make them pop back up
The hunters can be buggy for spawning in general
It took me ten tries to get the flag one to even appear
You know there is an in game guide that's HUGE.
Many seem to forget this
It's kinda funny cause a bunch of things are outdated too.
average official game guide 
That's what I was referring to. I understand not knowing how the system works, I didn't either, but the popup when you first enter the tinkering station in project resolve perfectly explains the system.
But ofcourse, it's much easier to ask in the public discord?
People skip stuff all the time. Most vids are crap or outdated too.
it weird because when I salute the grave it wonāt do the static to indicate that the specific grave is done
I do notice the tutorial button is missing in Library/Tinkering - it's there in expertise tho
Fr need a bingo sheet of FAQs
Then we host a monthly game!
how to get st elmos
Make a starter guide for Div in 2024.
Best DPS build
any builds for easy solo 5 directiveegebdary?
How to fix delta03
I'll have "FAQ's that are actually explained in-game"
Why can't I recalibrate my exotics?
Did anyone have trouble with the hunter on Washington monument
Where did my regulus and eagle bearer go I just reconfigured them
and finally
I do not miss being a dev, let me tell you that
why am I being kicked from countdown

Bro no one knows that answer.
Oh and X complaint about maintenance delays
nearly 4 dozen runs finally memento
so this game just trash?

these pve sweats always optimizing the fun out of the game I swears
"I can't play this game like it's fucking gears of war L game"
I dropped it to hard on my first try to save myself the headache
Bro you'll get kicked even if you have a meta build tho.
SHD elitists strike again
ikr why are these guys kicking my 2pc striker 2pc hb 1pc walker nbb build
I got kicked a couple weeks ago with a meta strikers tho.
Oh yeah "how do I get ninjabike backpack" and you instantly know they got KVDed
you must've done something horrible to them in ur past life
Wh-
KVDed eh?
Yeah it makes no sense. Only thing I can figure is they were wanting lower SHD people to feel like the hero to help them.
whats that ?
probably inviting friends
u got in the way
Div2 YouTuber
It was a half lobby and they were MM already tho.
lol
Oh right say say no more š
some things shouldn't be questioned then 
Anyone can't be as a bad as that runningbutcher guy tho
tuxedo, butcher, rogue gold, kvd name a better quartet for build recommendations
Add fog
Rogue gold just speaks and never shuts the hell up about how much hes licking ubisofts butt
he doesn't do build videos
Oh man, your missing out on his ninjabike builds
fr fr ong?mmmm
Oh god not ninja
Ninja builds are the best!
raucy has access to the private fog videos
I was experimenting with aegis and ninja
That's like the only time I've ever considered it
It was his most recent video when you brought him up a few days ago
that was more like a guide wdym
A glance at his page and second vid is ninja BB vid lol
2nd oldest vid or 2nd newest
Newest.
He said himself it's definitely not the best build
yikes, imagine making a build vid and not even supporting the build.
Likely a severe understatement
You'd rather him advertise it as best in slot meta so you have more points against him huh
feels bad tbh
"were not saying you should do this, were just saying you can do this"
If I remember correctly the reason he didn't think it was good was because he had ouro on, not because he had ninja on lol
Just like the people who skip tutorials they probably don't listen to every line these people say.
He doesn't think ouro is bad lol
what clip are you taking out of context
"Don't listen to rvery line these people say" hmmm
I'm not going back and rewatching lol
I'll simp for factual math and that's my limit.
What in the hell
naval
in what universe does ouro cripple a buildš
He doesn't like the damage per mag in the ouro, so he's using ninja 2p Brazos to boost the mag size with strikers
Wh-
doesn't mean he's gonna be recommending the build to people who want a good build
Didn't you say it was a guideš
no I said his newest was a guide
The video before the newest is the one we are on rn
Ah
in that video with nbb fire rate mag size ouro build he explicitly states "do I think this is the best build in the game? Absolutely not"
Why are you on pc

The real question
hello PC players. I was thinking on coming back to division 2 with this new patch but i was wondering have crashes stopped on PC with this new update?
Is the sky blue?
crashing can still happen but they've been heavily reduced
Sorry, that question is just so system dependant. In the last month of playing on my new system, I've crashed maybe once or twice.
also just luck from what I've experienced
That aswell. Obviously project resolve with the amount of bugs fixed should've made the game more stable, but a few years ago on my much weaker system, the game crashed bi-daily. Luck, system, updates.
too bad that's not how coding big things work apparently
Pretty sure better than my š„ pc
you change a chunk of the game you make new bugs
the game worked fine on my laptop in 2020 then started crashing year later on same laptop and still crashes on my high end pc, i stopped playing thinking game isnt going to get fixed but ill try once more when project resolve kicks in
It did kick in
from what I remember 2021 was pretty bad for crashing
haha, what happend in cursed 2021
some evil patch came XD
no updates for the entire year IIRC
Team got changed
evil patch was 2022 with season 9 where it was just crash city
whoa!
it was really bad once we got updates again but its gotten way better to the point its a night and day difference imo
kk thx for info
itās good now though, not one crash yet
Okay thank
why is descent so dead
Hardly dead just less popular
I think most people probably play it solo
Duo and trio mostly and most do it with friends.
Or yeah solo
Only nemesis solo loop 4-5 run
4p scaling is poo
trueism
for the firewall specialization can you only use the cosmetic mask if you have it equipped or no ?
legendary capitol / incursion , which one is harder?
i can run capitol with most kill counts
so im not waiting for carry lol
Yeah I'd say your average incursion clear time is much less than lego capitol.
does anybody know if you get a meret estate key every run? or just once a week chance like the ravenous and eb?
returned from the game so i'm not really sure
would you rather matchmake incursion or matchmake legendary capitol tho
(both drive me insan)
I bet if you did random MM for one and took those people to do both incursion would take less time.
I'll take my chances in an incursion tbh
Guess you never played wow with LFR lmao
I just oxy turrets and let the three kill the few ads. Turrets isn't too bad.
lol
You get a key weekly(10% ouro chance at the box) it's reset is Monday for who knows why. There is also a 1% chance on 3 bosses, wright, and the two lovebirds.
still no ouro on moss? Must be unlucky
/s
Moss is a bitc.... I mean what?
How many runs have you done in the incursion?
I dunno but i do it every week š
Incursion nights are cheese
I blame that first time run in DH eagle drop luck
I hate that incursion man
Most people just run it a ton with farming groups in the LFG discords.
I love the incursion. I'm still having tons of fun with it.
I done a few this week
Didnāt get anything then did 1 on my other account and got ouro
Next goal is duos one phase wright with ad skip.
bleh hanging out with the bois is fun. I'm not gonna be able to watch our duo run without cracking up.
been having fun with the l86 as a secondary at tanker
Tomorrow evening I hope to join some sweaty IH nerds again, have them carry me through the bosses and then it's reggie time š
Awww yis, bought to blow some heads up.
I need dat BOOM HEADSHOT, and I'm gonna be listening to 100 remixes of that OG sound cue
Have it listen to the games audio for explosions and play it accordingly.
lmao, hook into the SDK and just track whenever I have Regulus equipped and get a HS
debating on dedicating a week or so of playing to only NY runs
NY runs? Like WONY or what?
yea
@ 3k shd atm so its roughly 1 wony run gets me half an expertise level lol
so should take me about 6 days if i do a couple a night
Well I need 1-2 so maybe we can trade some.
I can probably get more people to come help and speed them up to around just over an hour too.
im referring to console unfortunately. think im 800 or so on pc
i just cant cut the rope
guys and gals people tettling me their is a reroll bug atm for stats anybody know what it is
Project Resolve: "We fixed the scaling of loot-crates in the LZ so they now scale to difficulty"
Also after project resolve: Random enemies on Heroic drops purple loot
A lot of the things they said were coming didnāt come
No, don't get me wrong, like the LZ crates scale now - but I've begun to very rarely get purple loot from the enemies.
I've only gotten a purple on heroic from a rogue so far, and it's been like a 1/500 chance about based on my experience
For the entire month up to resolve, I don't remember a single time I got a purple on heroic, but after I've gotten a few, which I think is funny
Imo I'd much rather have this miniscule chance for the tradeoff of actually opening crates
very ironic that its called project resolve
Could someone take a look at my build and teach me a bit about how it works?
when you get dmg to close enemies after long time in countdown suddenly game crashes
I'm not complaining, just pointing out the irony in the situation ^^
same, i really like the fact that they buffed different weapons
nice to be able to run other things
Iron Lung in exotic caches now or farmable via targeted loot?
Got one from cache yesterday
Thanks. Guess I'm unlucky then!
Once a "season pass" exotic has been collected from that pass or the season is over, it gets added to the general loot pool, which ever ones comes first for you.
I've seen a few people say they got the mosquito before season track rewards. Forget if it's a exo cache drop or what.
GUUUUUUUUUYSSSSSSSSSSSS
And Rivens
okay story time yall, listen up
me, someone from my clan and a random dude started incursion. We got to the boss encounter where we failed with a 4th random.
Then i invited someone else from my clan. We kept failing cuz both the ones from my clan do not know how to do incursions......(i didnt know that either lol).
So we tried for like 1+ hour easily with my friend being the healer.
Then one clan member left and my besto friendo invited someone who was able to run healer instead. Instant first try.
The new person who joined also got ouroboros
and.......dropped it for me
a little bit uhh....complicated how i described it but im pretty happy right now lmao
though all the other encounters we went through flawlessly but the boss encounter was so difficult cuz they both did now know wtf to do
I just started playing a few weeks ago, so that info is useful - thanks!

After I get my Regulus tomorrow/this coming week, I might look towards the Ouro myself. Gratz!
I'm slowly but surely chipping away at that 1000SHD. Only 220 to go!
need to get ouro still have everything but
instant blueprint buy
im at 89 right now :p
but thanks!
Get to farming!
if i had optimized stats.....gear mods annoy me that i barely ever get optimized gear mod stats....
You get the build basics first - then you care about the stats.
I'm still missing a total of 1.6% HS damage from gear mods, but you know. With time
I've got the boom headshot song stuck on my head ahaha
You're welcome, and welcome Agent! 
i think my build is really juiced up
Builds and being super picky is a blessing and a curse for new players. Some wanna perfect it instantly but the reality is that those last few percentages don't change too much and you are better off getting 90% the way there and farming another build and learning all the things and getting the last 5-10% perfect which is gonna take you 90% of the time anyway.
I love clearing a public execution, enemies still spawn and ISAC just suddenly says "access key detected". To what ISAC, TO WHAT?
thats very true yeah. the next build i wanna try out is a skill based build (like that mortar thing or drones n turrets). At the moment i enjoy dps too much so yeah :p
So where can I get the dark winter? Iām convinced you cannot get it in countdown with SMGs targeted.
Hey did anyone else just get random levels and caches
Damn!! Someone told me countdown
rip
Can just check the spreadsheet. If it says DZ only you know then.
What do those red symbols around enemyās head mean when scoping with mantis, and why has this never happened to me?
This game is still alive? Interesting, I really do enjoy it, but I don't want to buy into the new york stuff
Tough luck, thatās where almost all endgame content is
game is Alive and most people have bought warlords
Yep, but NYC is kinda needed
warlords gives a ton of endgame stuff
U can buy a key for it real cheap tho
at this point WONY is pretty much 70% of the content
when are they gonna sell wony and division 2 together I wonder
it means they are targetting you, yellow circles means they are not targetting you, that way you know when your shot has the mantis bonus damage or not
Note: do not buy from key-seller sites. The game regularly goes on sale for 70%+ off on the actual official places.
It seems like it is yeah, guess I'm just sad, I don't know anyone that's actively playing, I'd have to socially weave my way into some group, and I'd be weak link for a while
isnt that what ultimate dition or something like that
lol did you do what i did and it went on sale right afterwards lol
It does but I ownt he main game on Uplay and all the sales i see are steam based
Oh damn, am I that good with the decoy tricking? š
The game is locked to uplay, so no matter where you buy you are still having to open it anyway.
decoy is just that good of a skill even in full red builds
And even outside of div2, a lot of those sites are known for stealing credit card information and selling it on, so you are actually selling to credit card thieves a decent chunk of the time.
Yes, but if I buy just a WONY key on steam it won't activate on uplay will it?
you'd have to buy div2+wony on steam for it to work AFAIK
U can use one time payment methods
š¤¦āāļø
you'd still have all your stuff however
It doesn't matter what method you use, they are stealing innocient people's money and you buying from them help funds that.
g2a is a big offender of it.
i got my ENTIRE ARMA 3 package from G2A, WONY and many more DLC's from G2A and have not had a single issue with my CC
If anything, obtaining keys is sketchy, eneba is really trustworthy imo
But as long itās not an indie game idrc
g2a are known for buying keys with stolen credit card info and selling them on to other people.
so enjoy that on your conscience.
no issues with g2a here either. cept that one time i didnt read and bought an account lol
They also charge you if your account goes inactive for a long period of time.
Fair enough, but I aināt earning dollars so I canāt afford spending them
not my fault people cant secure their information properly.
so, consience that somewhere else
On god
Well that one's going in my log.
"i dont care about people having their hard earned money stolen as long as i get cheap games"
lol
if it was THAT big of an issue, IC3 and god knows how many other international Police and Cyber Crime units would be all over that
Just buy it from uplay when its 70% off, its like $5 USD
it goes on sale every major international holiday, pretty much
people having their money stolen is bad regardless of how small it may be actually
Okay well WoNY is one thing, but if a game rarely goes on sale I aināt buying it regularly
TD2 was selling for $3 for over 2 years in the ubisoft store
and yet no one can seem to prove that G2A is doing this
hell, i cant even find references of it on the dark web
and it WOULD be there
g2a are based in eastern european countries, among other places.
There's a reason they are based there.
Okay now I know you're joking.
No one under 60 calls it the "dark web"
