td2-general-chat

[timber hatch]

We had a previous failed attempt and just restarted without leaving back to the boo.

[drowsy sinew]

Hi guys, got a question, how do i find the striker build ? In which mission ?

[real creek]

Typically you use targeted loot (TL) to farm builds. The map has rotating TL that changes daily. There are too many types to be present everyday. Most use countdown to farm because it has selectable TL because you get so much loot/hour but summit has selectable TL too

[bitter wraith]

Got two shot in half a second by nemesis kinda glad he killed me bro was insta healing lmao

[drowsy sinew]

Thanks a lot bro 🙂 Wish i had u in my team aha

[red lion]

This game doesn't wanna give me st elmos

[drowsy sinew]

I'm looking for it

[wise cobalt]

Got my st Elmo in the summit

[red lion]

I've been trying for 5 days now

So many exotics opened

[undone timber]

You'll get it at some point

[wise cobalt]

Got mine as a drop

[red lion]

😟

[drowsy sinew]

I'm gonna do my first summit now, hope i'll get it 🙂

Guys, should i de craft all my premium gear ? For the expertize thing

[wise cobalt]

You just need to target the AR loot

[real creek]

Make sure you do some challenges to get a free capacitor too.

[undone timber]

People seem to miss capacitor more often than I'd have thought

[real creek]

I mean you don't know until ya know ya know.

[drowsy sinew]

Can we call or something ?

[real creek]

Ghostbusters?

[drowsy sinew]

Uh ?

[real creek]

Idk man, farming is easy once you know where and what. Also having friends can increase the rate of farming by like 7 times. Do a countdown with the boys and they all dropping stuff.

[undone timber]

I present to you, Reanimated

[real creek]

Why tho?

[undone timber]

Heartbreaker

[real creek]

Why would you farm that?

[undone timber]

If you think farming for a core change gearset is bad wait until you see habs

Who told you that

[real creek]

That's why I asked lol

[gloomy hornet]

Anyone able to help out in the NY main missions? I am getting shafted

[real creek]

WHOA it's on you to prove YOUR claim.

[undone timber]

You gotta support the claim of it being the best set

Like I'm genuinely curious

[real creek]

🍿 🐱 🍿

[minor goblet]

🍿

[neon wyvern]

heartbreaker users when they meet blue striker

[undone timber]

Gemini man type shi

[random quest]

Hand 'em out or I'll find an even bigger fish

[gloomy hornet]

Anyone able to help out in the NY main missions? I am getting shafted

[distant quest]

lower difficulty if your having trouble

even on an unoptimized build they shouldn't be difficult on normal

[real creek]

You think I don't like having big fish hit me in the face is a blessing.

[undone timber]

Time for enlightenment

[random quest]

But... okay, let's trade then, you gib popcorn, I gib fish in face

[undone timber]

So what is the benefit here vs strikers 100 damage

Survivability?

Heartbreaker doesn't give you 100 without the chest lol

So what do you gain from HB

That makes it worth being limited to technician

[neon wyvern]

Strikers doesn't need to switch to technican, isn't locked away from guns that can't take laser pointer and at the baseline comes with more dps.

So much more dps in fact putting survivability aspects on striker is a better choice then using heartbreaker

[undone timber]

Striker can do this just by shoving blues on

Or memento

And you're running it 6 red?

That armour ain't shit

[neon wyvern]

idk what's going on in pvp nowadays

but pve I can say for sure heartbreaker is outdated

[undone timber]

Mate gain 100 stacks let the armour drop and see what happens when you keep shooting

[real creek]

You are making a 1 situation claim here tho?

[undone timber]

You don't gain it back until you drop stacks

You're getting carried by strikers dude😭

[neon wyvern]

how's solo legendary capitol building with heartbreaker

[real creek]

HB is good but it's not this godly thing you think it is.

[undone timber]

Certain not the best gearset in the game

By a long shot

[red lion]

Bro has been cooked for saying heartbreaker is better haha

[full zinc]

Yeah nego way better than hb and striker 😈

[undone timber]

You got hotshot, hf, strikers to contend with

[neon wyvern]

you should try strikers then

[undone timber]

Negotiators too

Nah ur trippin rn

You haven't run it with the regulus then

[real creek]

Bro lets do a run together and see who gets more kills/damage with my HF vs your HB?

[neon wyvern]

(He's gonna use the headhunter version ur gonna lose)

[real creek]

One of these days someones gonna take me up on it.

[neon wyvern]

[undone timber]

Post your HB setup in build advice

I wanna see this holy grail man

The master key to all activities

[signal terrace]

Did anyone else get forcibly dced from the game?

[distant quest]

🍿

[real creek]

They are just new to the game. Probs best to just leave them alone honestly.

[midnight salmon]

new patch notes
https://trello.com/c/THeCZJ1P/201-february-20th-2024-tu201-patch-notes

[undone timber]

I'm tryna give good advice here man I don't want people's backs hurting on legendary MM😭

By now you ought to have realized strikers outclasses heartbreaker

[real creek]

Well this person is new so they don't know better.

[undone timber]

Fairs

[real creek]

Strikers will out dps HB with ease. It's a mathimatical fact.

[neon wyvern]

ain't Naur way

[undone timber]

The only thing HB is doing for you is giving you that bonus armour

[neon wyvern]

Sounds like there's a huge confirmation bias going on

[real creek]

At this point you are just saying that you need bonus armor to live and with red strikers you end on on the floor. It's fine dude.

[undone timber]

All red 4 pieces striker, ceska obliterate chest, coyotes/grupo mask

[real creek]

Any of the easy ones to build honestly, you don't even need strikers chest to do it.

[neon wyvern]

15% rof >>>> 15% ar and lmg damage

[undone timber]

And it didn't do more damage than a 6 blue build?

[real creek]

Do you die a lot with strikers? Did you end up on the floor too much to be useful in MM?

[neon wyvern]

heartbreaker isn't saving you from hunters

[undone timber]

Hunters destroy you no matter what you run lol

[neon wyvern]

but ur doing no damage

[real creek]

This is why you think it's better, not cause of the damage.

[gloomy hornet]

No dice. Still getting fucking oneshot on Normal. I'm about to ragequit this piece ***********

[neon wyvern]

if you have the capability to face tank hunters chances are you aren't outputting any meaningful damage against them

[undone timber]

4 piece foundry bulwark with pointman and belstone protector bag

[distant quest]

there is no way on gods green earth you can get one shot on normal unless your game is bugging @gloomy hornet or your still running pre level 30 gear

[undone timber]

Boom meta build can facetank hunters

[neon wyvern]

They can jam your shield and now you can no longer face tank

been there done that

[gloomy hornet]

All my shit is lvl 40 from before NY came out. General Anderson mission shit just fucking oneshots me

[distant quest]

how many main missions you got left?

[undone timber]

You gotta be able to kill shit before it kills you

[gloomy hornet]

It IS a main mission. I returned to the game today and it recommended that one.

[undone timber]

Hunters will jam your shield

[distant quest]

give me 11 mins i'll clear it with you @gloomy hornet

[undone timber]

And they will shred your armour

[neon wyvern]

more like there's certain places in this game where stacking a bunch of damage is just >>>>>>> stacking a bunch of survivability

In countdown you can easily reach 200 stack striker

[red lion]

He's defo trolling

[undone timber]

Essentially everywhere except niche mechanical roles

[real creek]

How about we settle this with in game numbers. We'll run some heroic missions and whoever gets more damage/kills will be the winner?

[gloomy hornet]

I'd appreciate that.. Literally about to break something IRL

[neon wyvern]

In solo stacking a bunch of survivability isn't inherently a bad idea but if I see that 5 blue memento hb in countdown I'm kicking it

[undone timber]

Stand in front of a hunter in countdown with nobody killing them for you

See how fast you get clapped

[neon wyvern]

tfw extraction hunter jams ur shield

[undone timber]

Runs dead

[real creek]

You are gonna ignore me huh?

[undone timber]

Brother

Riddle hunters ain't shit

I dare you to solo the hunter on Coney island

[neon wyvern]

I can get more kills then you souless easily, I'm picking stovepipe manhunt

[undone timber]

On heroic with that build

Numbers don't lie lmao

Go do it

[real creek]

Naw I could vid record it if you'd like.

I'm not shady and gonna lie, you'd also have the ability to screeny the after action report.

[neon wyvern]

I literally couldn't kill the hunter before he ran away and armor kitted with 5 blue obliterate memento striker

got elmos shock and everything

[undone timber]

Who told you it was rated number one lmao

[real creek]

King breaker is an AR and seperate from HB?

You don't even use it?

[undone timber]

Bro had a dark winter on😭

Not even flatline

[real creek]

It is a very high damage weapon and has great synergy with HB tho.

BIS imo.

[undone timber]

Kingbreaker does hit like a truck to it's credit

[distant quest]

@gloomy hornet ign?

[gloomy hornet]

Moggeh2k

[undone timber]

If you ask around for the best DPS build they will give you a variant of strikers for a reason

[real creek]

Well I've got speed runs tonight after work but maybe you'll come show me this weekend how good HB is?

[distant quest]

sent request @gloomy hornet

[neon wyvern]

whiplash if you want to outkill pick stovepipe manhunt hhf has no chance

[gloomy hornet]

I can't see any 🤔

[undone timber]

Souless switches to striker

[distant quest]

sent again are you appearing offline?

[neon wyvern]

that's not what the contract says

[real creek]

Uhhh wat?

[gloomy hornet]

Actually had ye, lol.

[undone timber]

Souless doesn't go down with HHF I'm sure

[distant quest]

ok inv when ready

[real creek]

Heroic too? What's your point?

[undone timber]

Like if survivability= viability why not just run foundry bulwark

[real creek]

Actually I figure that would be good for you. If I die you'd get kills while I lay on the floor watching the glory of your HB build correct?

[neon wyvern]

Cuz that's overkill

[undone timber]

But muh facetank

[real creek]

I mean at this point you wont take the challenge so I might as well stop.

[undone timber]

Bros heart got broken by heartbreaker getting gapped by other dps builds

[real creek]

I just wanna share a friendly gaming moment where someone can learn ya know.

[random quest]

I'll battle you once you get me my reggie tomorrow 😏

[undone timber]

💀💀

[neon wyvern]

Sounds like hardcore mode lite

that should be someone's raid group

[real creek]

Not the point of the challenge.

[undone timber]

This is some bozak horde type shi

[real creek]

If you want me to full survive idk I can.

[undone timber]

Inb4 "oh then HB wins lol"

[real creek]

Just if you die you gotta come in here and apologize to everyone.

Mission runs.\

[undone timber]

You cant respawn in a legendary or heroic lol

[distant quest]

1v1 rust like men

[undone timber]

And if you do it's either to the very beginning or the beginning of the final encounter

[neon wyvern]

Bardon schaeffer manhunt doesn't follow that rule apparently

if you die at the final encounter you restarr

[undone timber]

Again, heroic has no respawn zones

[undone timber]

Oh lmao

[random quest]

@real creek Imma boom headshot your boom headshots

[undone timber]

Better brush up on your head poppin

[red lion]

Do you guys run striker build for everything pve related

[undone timber]

Not everything

[red lion]

What don't u use it on

[neon wyvern]

I do

[undone timber]

Different roles

Like you wouldnt use strikers as a healer

[timber hatch]

The only places I use it are the incursion and lfg buddy/Lucy. Everywhere else I prefer something else

[random quest]

Don't worry, I'll be a god in no time

[red lion]

So what's the best healer build

[undone timber]

Future initiative

[neon wyvern]

future initiative

[signal terrace]

Is the only way to get Ironworks Bulwark Alloy in the raid?

[undone timber]

Yes, on normal difficulty

[red lion]

Ok time to search these gear set on YouTube then

[signal terrace]

Cheers

[neon wyvern]

no I think you can get that by deconning fb parts

Ironworks base materials however are normal raid only

[undone timber]

Wait was the regulus base materials

Ohhhh oops

Because you play on heroic missions

You'll see future used all the time in incursions and raids

Even in countdown as a red variant

[timber hatch]

Future Initiative

[real creek]

You wanna? I have pretty much every relevent build.

[neon wyvern]

Alternate: mechanical animal

[undone timber]

I bet you haven't seen many eclipse users either

Or negotiators

[real creek]

Bro would loose his mind playing with a CC person.

[undone timber]

[neon wyvern]

I would too

[undone timber]

Keep your team topped up

[neon wyvern]

xbox mm is dead in terms of cc players

[undone timber]

And proc sledge/opportunistic for the team

[undone timber]

I'm tryna keep it alive with riot foam

[real creek]

I'm really not messing with you or trying to BS you, there is a whole part of this game people don't know exist and it's crazy fun.

[neon wyvern]

I'm not

I don't trust my team

[real creek]

I'll try to hit you up and we can mess around some.

[undone timber]

Ffs Thompson you gotta stop clutching that Elmo of yours

[red lion]

@undone timber I'm seeing build with armour gloves and kneepads compared to urs which is all red

[neon wyvern]

why play cc when elmos shock rounds is cc after all

[undone timber]

foams entire group of adds

team focuses another group

[neon wyvern]

tfw teammates die to foamed ads

[undone timber]

💀

[real creek]

Nothing worse than being on a CC build and no one shoots your foamed ad.

[undone timber]

I run courier specifically so that they can't ignore the fact I've just made every target in a 5 miles radius free asf

[real creek]

Then you sit there and full scorp stack and they still don't....

[neon wyvern]

how many debuff icons do you need for you to kill this one guy in particular

[undone timber]

Hurts the soul

[gloomy hornet]

Is it common that you complete a main mission and it doesn't fucking count as completed???

[undone timber]

Ah it's an extreme example

We have seen literally everything

It gets worse in raids lol

That one guy on half faraday that doesn't leave the water

Tfw you tell people not to call out if it's not their code but they do it anyway

[real creek]

OH....

[timber hatch]

I could hook you up with a couple idiots to run the incursion this weekend if your interested

[real creek]

We could 3 man it.

[undone timber]

I don't mean to be condescending but part of it might be your build

People go in there they expect strikers

At least all red

[timber hatch]

I don't care about your build

[real creek]

Wanna 3 man it in under 15 minutes easy?

[undone timber]

Just an unfortunate bunch

Had nothing to do with their builds being all red id wager

Cuz you cant respawn if you die at extract

Your only option is to leave

Your lobbies are exceedingly odd

At that point theyre just wasting their own time

[full zinc]

Doesnt happen in my lobbies... all hunters are stuck to the floor as they spawn. Ez mode activated >slaughter mode comes next

[undone timber]

Hazpro CC coming in clutch until you get status countermeasures

[neon wyvern]

must be nice running into countdown 4-8 players deep

[full zinc]

And in the rare case they dont stick, its perf sledge + perf opp +scorpio debuff.
The foam is really just icing

Turns even the weakest hb build into a melt machine

[neon wyvern]

not in heroic

[undone timber]

[full zinc]

Doesnt Matter where.

[undone timber]

Sledge and oppo make everything do ridiculous damage

Scorpio amp on top if they're not dead already somehow is even more pog

[full zinc]

Yeah and if status isnt turned off also survivalist 10%

But its only ever off for a minute or so.

[undone timber]

I've watched entire squads run past the countermeasures before it's truly a sight to behold

[neon wyvern]

someone else will do it mentality at its finest

[full zinc]

That's me 😂

[random quest]

Are you level 40 yet? Or did you return mid WONY campaign? Because if the second option I would just boost a new character to 30 and run through it - "reset"

[full zinc]

Cc needs to be first on site

[neon wyvern]

everyone will be gathered up by the time you disable the countermeasure

[undone timber]

[full zinc]

It's actually quite comical. I'm just foaming and running by shit constantly, with some sort of mop up crew following 🤣

[gloomy hornet]

I was 40 ye

[real creek]

So incursion tonight? 4 hours from now?

[random quest]

40 without having run through the campaign yet? Impressive. I dunno, bugs can happen for a multitude of reasons. If it keeps happening and you're still struggling completing the story, I would boost to 30 then run through New York anew

[flint cobalt]

What's this about an xp exploit on the Trello Board?

[random quest]

I mean, would be pretty stupid to try and do now they've taken note of it. (But it's also described in the trello)

[red lion]

Was thinking the same thing g

[full zinc]

Maybe I'm missing it. Are you talking about the descent thing under fix live ?

[real creek]

Yeah I don't think any XP exploits are shown on the trello.

Maybe old ones like local is talking about.

[random quest]

We can't really talk about it in here :))
Trello TU20.1 notes has mentions of an exploit with description, that's all I'll say

[azure lintel]

cant yall like...move a bit to the right on the map so our clocks are a bit more synced?

[real creek]

You can link Trello cards tho.

[azure lintel]

so i can play with yall during normal day times

[random quest]

It was linked earlier

https://trello.com/c/THeCZJ1P/201-february-20th-2024-tu201-patch-notes

[real creek]

Oh the actual 20.1 patch notes.

Didn't know they were even up lol

[elfin hazel]

rule 6 n all but its on the patch notes and can't really stop people talkin about those so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[full zinc]

Also listed as fixed in the notes

[exotic blaze]

Oh they're removing hunter killer and shield splinterer from the descent BPs

[real creek]

Breh it's 130,000 xp.

[random quest]

Y'all were busy discussing HB v others

[real creek]

Oh but I guess you can do that like once every 5ish seconds??

[elfin hazel]

exploits still be exploits

[random quest]

And automatable

[real creek]

Yeah, not saying it isn't but eh.

[full zinc]

2shd/minute. Kills f10 numbers 😂

[real creek]

meh there are other ways to get xp.

[full zinc]

Also patched out so kinda non issue

[full zinc]

Yeah I just grind cps now

[elfin hazel]

the true exp farm rn is just d50 determined vs anything 🚎

[real creek]

Welp I've said too much already. So how about that HB???

[full zinc]

Use an m700 and you can hit shit a mile away

[neon wyvern]

reanimated moment

[random quest]

Ofcourse there is, but it's repeatable, passive, automatable

[elfin hazel]

I like using my pistols as pocket snipers

[full zinc]

Yeah I was messing around with reg when I joined a 5d team. Found it wasnt the best because all the npc killed with the blast kept getting up 😂

[elfin hazel]

great for those kill reanimated npcs though

[real creek]

Depends on the rate right? If you can net 100+ SHD/hour without an exploits it's worth doing it actively right?

[full zinc]

But m700 hitting 90mil 1shots everything without a helmet including named. Reanimated is kind of at a comical level of damage boost

[inner elbow]

It is

[full zinc]

Wony still more efficient for shd tho.. at least once your scavenging returns exceed what you can grind in 2 hrs

[inner elbow]

I hit 87 mil with the regulus

[full zinc]

Countdown still more efficient for grinding exotics

Nice

[inner elbow]

128 mil with the M700 Carbon. It's nice numbers but who needs this amount of damage?

[real creek]

Yeah but you need a base SHD level worth doing WONY for.

[random quest]

I mean, I never condone exploiting in that way anyways. But that's why you would do it. All these days I've been with family, I could've theoretically have set my pc to farm the mission

[full zinc]

Your shd exceeds what you can gain in the same amount of time grinding

[gloomy hornet]

Sent you a PM btw 😅

[red lion]

Wait so what's the quickest way for lvl up shd

[real creek]

Maybe me but not everyone.

[elfin hazel]

number go up ‼️

[full zinc]

I have a mention in my post about once your shd returns exceed...

At 1000 shd returns exceed what can be ground out. Js

[random quest]

Will look at it in like 20, on the bus rn

[real creek]

Yeah but that SHD/hour also goes to 4 characters, regardless there's more use for certain things than just sav points.

[full zinc]

If they are created. Chances are someone on the low end has already been told 100 times it's not worth doing a wony run till 1500-2000

[full zinc]

Xp only really good for scavenging points tho

[half wasp]

man, I wish I could get some of the old season passes in the shop

already done with the current one since last night

I hope in the division 3 they add in a system like Halo infinite where you can go back to passes you missed or didn't finish. I misses a lot of content after a 4 year hiatus from the game

[cinder oasis]

Hey

Is there a new player chat? I wrote a new player guide for someone in another server that i think is pretty solid and helpful for new players

[real creek]

We are all new players tho.

[cinder oasis]

I remember u

Do u remember me?

[real creek]

Naw. Should I?

[cinder oasis]

No, i just used to ask alot of questions here

Havent played division in a while but i recently bought it again for xbox, yet to play it tho

[real creek]

Dang, about to miss a GE, easy XP.

[full zinc]

Souless too big a name to remember us plebs. World record incursion speedrun holder and all 🍻

[cinder oasis]

Anyway

[real creek]

Bro it's cause my brain is mush and I help 100s of people lol

[cinder oasis]

Would u guys like to see the new plauer guide i wrote?

[real creek]

It'll probably get lost in chat tho?

[full zinc]

Sure. PM just in case it falls under self promo

[cinder oasis]

True, thats why i was asking if theres a new player chat so someone can pin it

[real creek]

They don't really pin anything here tho.

Best you could do is send it to new people. Not sure what format or site it's stored on.

[cinder oasis]

😂

[full zinc]

You might reach out to @tender notch and see if it can be added to the spreadsheet. Obv it would have to pass some scrutiny

[real creek]

Youtube will get yeeted because of self promo local mentioned.

[cinder oasis]

Its just an essay i wrote

[timber hatch]

I'm curious, you can pm it to me

[icy cypress]

Guys I need help

I got the cayote mask now but don’t have blueprint

[kind veldt]

did you check the blueprint lady right next to the crafting table?

[icy cypress]

It came up now

[barren tiger]

Either i'm unlucky or there's soemthing I don't know about the reanimator event and the striker drone

the drone isn't lasting as long as it used to

[bitter wraith]

Has descent been nerfed (now getting different and random talents and exotic talents) or just bad rng?

Before I was getting the same ones pretty much over and over

[halcyon radish]

talent pool is fixed at 3 days rotation

so far most rotations are bad, yeah, it is nerfed

[bitter wraith]

Ohh forgot about that

POS trash Internet deleting my run again ffs

[random quest]

Let it out, bud. Let it out.

[bitter wraith]

Of course it would have to crash the Internet at the end of loop 1 though lmao

[random quest]

Oh. Loop 1

[bitter wraith]

Ye

[red lion]

Are raids worth doing in terms of loot?

[hybrid ore]

Not really, no. Raids are for fun, to get the Raid locked stuff (certain blueprints are locked to the raid boss drops) and a few Exotics which are Raid locked.

Eagle Bearer for Dark Hours (loot and chest), Ravenous from Iron Horse (same as EB) and Regulus also from Iron Horse, but requires a Project.

[red lion]

Ok i do need the eagle bearer so will do dark hours

[hybrid ore]

Just make sure you have a good red DPS setup, listen to the Raid Leader, and know the basics before you go in. You'll do fine.

[willow cliff]

idk why, but my server is set to US East and now I'm getting lag spikes and packet drops like crazy. Is there any way I can change my server?

[hybrid ore]

VPN is the best way, unsure about others but if you're close to there then it'll likely default.

[final vortex]

hi

[bitter sluice]

Still a problem?

[willow cliff]

Yep, even with VPN

Is there no US West server anymore? I tried to make a rule in firewall to try and force it but just wouldn't find anything

[bitter sluice]

If you press esc I think in or on the social tab wherever it says what server your on there’s a promt which say find a better server

[willow cliff]

I looked for that, found no prompt or button

[bitter sluice]

Let me boot up Div can’t remember exactly

[kind veldt]

usually there is an option to find a better server in the social screen

[boreal granite]

Is this game on Xbox

[thick zephyr]

Recently getting this
Playing the game and the whole screen goes black and everything else silhouetted.cant see anything.
The only way to go back to normal is to move around abit and it goes back to normal.
Happened in open world and conflict.

On PC

[bitter sluice]

did you get blinded?

[azure lintel]

Sounds like it

[thick zephyr]

Not too sure if blinded.
This just happened after the maintenancea few days ago.

Been blinded before but it's usually screen all white

[bitter sluice]

its black for me

[nocturne hare]

Mines been black since resolve. White prior though

[thick zephyr]

Always been white for me till recently after the update

[celest orchid]

Hey guys have they fixed the Mantis scope bug not marking heads?

[bitter sluice]

sounds like they changed it to black

[thick zephyr]

Was it changed on purpose?

[bitter sluice]

idk but doesnt really affect me

[nocturne hare]

That I'm unsure of. Things are usually pulsed so no bother for me.

[random granite]

It was changed on purpose to help prevent epilepsy

[bitter sluice]

atleast i dont get blinded irl

[nocturne hare]

Yeah that makes sense

[willow cliff]

^

[thick zephyr]

Ok that explains it

[bitter sluice]

@willow cliff i sent u a dm about changing servers

[copper shoal]

No

[covert frost]

what is better
Adrenaline rush or Protector?

[copper shoal]

Adrenaline rush

[covert frost]

it had a 5s cooldown per enemy or?

meaning if an enemy doesnt die within 5s i get another 20% armor?

[copper shoal]

it's up all the time if you're in range

[covert frost]

holy shit thats crazy...

[copper shoal]

Adrenaline rush is good if you have an aggressive close-up playing style

[kind veldt]

thats why adrenaline and intimidate became such famous combo

[copper shoal]

and combined with boomstick, you are almost immortal. I know that from experience.

[kindred saddle]

I need said help

Does anybody know if any other marksman rifles other than the Model 700 got buffed?

[copper shoal]

all changes are in the patch note

[grave fox]

does anybody else see 2 open side missions at the settlement? they want me to "use the computer to hear the first hunter drone recording"..aswell as "...the second..."
somebody else said its related to manhunt..can somebody specify? trying to get rid of those sidemission markers

#patch-notes message

[halcyon radish]

the lagging even worse than b4, don't know what server improvement they have done

[solar spindle]

I think I screwed up optimization. Aren’t you supposed to be able to optimize an attribute up to what you have in you librabry? I had a “skill damage” at 6% on my backpack but researched to max in my library. I optimized it and it didn’t increase. And now I cant even optimize it further?

[lunar hare]

you don't

[lunar hare]

Just ran out of game pass to play multiplayer... hate being on console dude

[toxic flume]

didnt know where to post pics but this man got so mad over bodyshots for the event #ask-td2-community message

[undone timber]

I still register it as live gold lol

[lunar hare]

now i can't go to countdown 😭

[undone timber]

It's aight man I started out on summit too for some months

[mighty shell]

Is it me or is the event being laggy? NPCs are teleporting.

[wooden falcon]

only issue i have is sending a corpse through a wall and they res in an unkillable location

[barren tiger]

which is better lower crit chance and higher dmg or higher chance and lower damage

[undone timber]

In-between

Rule of thumb is you want double your crit chance in crit damage

[barren tiger]

The difference is due to the coyote mask and the rigger guntlets

gauntlets: 57.8 chance with 116.9% crit damage, the mask is 52.5 chance with 122.1% damage

[undone timber]

Gauntlets are ass don't bother with them

Coyote's also gives you more crit as it's talent

[barren tiger]

and looking at it, coyote also gives me a high base damage by 100K

[halcyon radish]

server problem, my ping below 30ms and got heavy lagging on open world

[mighty shell]

Disabling the event didn't cause any lags.

[halcyon radish]

tested couple of missions which have no lagging problem

[barren tiger]

the only lag, i've been having is with some of the rewards not showing up right away. Like i'll log off for a bit come back and find that I have like 5 unopend appeal boxes

[hybrid bridge]

Yo! What brand is the “Guerra holster?”

Trying to figure this out.

[azure lintel]

So I just learned apparently your world tier automatically gets increased when doing a level 4 checkpoint?

[bitter sluice]

yea only for the cp though

[azure lintel]

I was so confused when I was doing it and noticed it said Heroic in the top left, I'm like hang on a moment I don't remember increasing the difficulty past challenging

[undone timber]

Brazos

[hybrid bridge]

Brand?

[undone timber]

Yes

[hybrid bridge]

Thanks yet once again

[halcyon radish]

CP alert 1-4 equal to normal, hard, challenging, heroic respectively, completed activity linked to CP would increase alert level

Goodmorning

[silver orbit]

There seem to be some issues with the new skill mod system:

1. there are several mods for the same place with the same stats just with different names (so duplicates)
2. skill mods from the specialisation occupy space and cannot be deleted
3. if you have 100/100 mods you cannot pick up any skill mod, even if it would get deconstructed by the system
4. with all the duplicates 100 slots are not enough to have every skill mod

[neon wyvern]

it won't deconstruct multiple max mods

[next kiln]

can you imagine Hunters in Dark Zones

[zinc prairie]

Nope, still bugged. They don't even acknowledge it.

[celest orchid]

Sigh, breaking something new all the time. Thanks for confirming.

[tropic compass]

😐 almost been 5 years since the game came out

[zinc prairie]

Been broken since PTS2 and people keep writing about the bug, but still no reaction, unfortunately.

[celest orchid]

Ah well, I enjoyed it a lot at night. Back to the usuals I guess, would've been nice for Reanimated, but other builds will do.

[tender wave]

Just cheese it with determined (unless you can't bring yourself to deal with that amount of cheese)

[hearty ferry]

Helloo, so when I buy the division 2 warlords of New York edition I get the full game and the dlc

[odd veldt]

it should tell you

if you scroll down and look at info it’ll tell you what it includes

[hearty ferry]

Ohh didn’t see that, but yes everything is involved thx

[next kiln]

an ACS with 12% dmg to armor with Sledgehammer talent is good right

[full zinc]

Farm a lefty if it isnt the named. You'll get an extra mod slot and 10% more of a damage buff from sledge

You'll want dttooc as 3rd attribute along with the dta

[next kiln]

well i got a bootleg lefty so that works still right

[timber hatch]

You'll really want the perfect version which isn't too hard to get, or another talent on a regular acs like fast hands

[next kiln]

so how do i get it

[neon wyvern]

regulus acs

[random quest]

Regulus talent but half the explosion damage, activated by each pellet on a shotgun with spread

What is this, Descent?

[next kiln]

ever just walk around then

"Rogue Agent Detected"

[main jungle]

aint no ****ing way! playing the Reanimated event the damn guys with helmets respawn with helmets fully ***ing equiped c'mon fix that crap

just lost two convoy's because trashy mechs... if they lost their helmet it doesn't come back! Period! :flipstable:

I have to re-pop it all over again

[muted rapids]

I'm just doing the keener mission speedrun and brought skill tier 6 jammer for the basement area then rogues show up out of nowhere and burn like 3 minutes of the timer and the run ended up being 18:05 seconds💀

[silver orbit]

Can the Kingbreaker be used with the Achilles Pulse, or is it only triggered by normal Pulse?

[neon wyvern]

what kind of build are you planning to make

[silver orbit]

i have a scanner build with overcharge and am now thinking if the achilles would workd as well

[main jungle]

Normal, but best build is use the rocket launch Spec and use the laser mod so everything you aim at is targeted

Actually @silver orbit I think Achilles may work but laser marker is much better

[neon wyvern]

Flatline does work with Achilles

[main jungle]

I couldn't remember thx

[silver orbit]

thx 🙂

[thorn bluff]

Ive just used my ninja bike backpack at a tinker bench and it's now dissappeared 😂 anyone know what's happened?

[main jungle]

@silver orbit I pinged you some cool setups

[neon wyvern]

Did you not see the warning when you started up the game

[random quest]

most likely skipped just like every other popup in existance, and then he came here to ask an FAQ

[neon wyvern]

how do people that constantly run around with 150/150 even play this game

[main jungle]

when you run around with all your builds on you.

[warm raft]

Do you actually play the same agent fro DIV 1 ?

[elfin hazel]

yes/no

[thorn bluff]

What warning?

[elfin hazel]

lore wise probably not but it's mostly left up to you to decide who your agent is since they are a blank slate n all

[elfin hazel]

theres a warning about re rolling exotics possibly deleting the item upon first launch a day or two after the update

[kind veldt]

since last big patch you can end up losing exotics, mostly appears due having a full inventory so devs put a warning when you open the game that might happen and ask you to avoid having a full inventory

[midnight salmon]

birdshot 👋

[kind veldt]

hello

[icy cypress]

Got st Elmo’s now

[thorn bluff]

I had less than 15 things in my inventory, happened to a few other things that weren't exotic but I had just assumed they'd gone to my stash, tinkered the ninja bag n was like thank fuck I'm done, so went to put my new gear on and it wasn't anywhere 😂

[kind veldt]

well people have been just reccomending not re rolling stuff

[stray cairn]

Having a bit of trouble getting the game to launch on PC… I’ve had a few different errors - unable to start correctly, security violation, untrusted file.

My laptop is updated, restarted, game files validated, I’ve deleted and reinstalled the anti cheat, repaired the anti cheat, restarted steam, scanned for viruses, and no luck. I’ve been searching online for a resolution but so far, nothings worked.

Has anyone else had this issue?

[lavish knot]

@stray cairn I haven't had this issue but have you tried running as administrator? if that works you could set it to always run that way as well

[modest lintel]

uninstall and reinstall easyanticheat

[lavish knot]

they said they already did

[modest lintel]

they it it they

[next kiln]

how to get lefty?

[lavish knot]

google

[stray cairn]

I can’t see an option for that

[elfin hazel]

shotgun targeted loot

[lavish knot]

go to where the game files are, find the game exec probably will say The Division 2, right click it and go to properties and then click on compatibility and there will be a box that say "Run this program as administrator" check it and try to run the game again. hopefully not too confusing

[elfin hazel]

you can also just right click run as admin first to see if that works

[warm raft]

What the hell is this champion enemy following me around and when I killed him he dropped a ton of gear ? This like Goblins from Diablo ?

[stray cairn]

I only have general, web document, security, details, and previous versions

[stray cairn]

When I right click there are no admin options ☹️

[lavish knot]

probably cause its a shortcut

what launcher did you download it from?

[stray cairn]

Steam

[elfin hazel]

Steam\steamapps\common\Tom Clancy's The Division 2\TheDivision2.exe

[lavish knot]

yeah and then follow what i said earlier

[elfin hazel]

or right click the game in steam and go to manage into browse local files and find this file

[stray cairn]

I’m promise I’m not stupid, I’ve just been trying to sort this for an hour already 😂

[lavish knot]

im pretty positive if you run it as admin that will fix the issue

[stray cairn]

Doing this now, fingers crossed

Unable to start correctly 😫

[lavish knot]

is your steam downloaded on your SSD?

[stray cairn]

When I try to troubleshoot comparability it just says an error occurred

[lavish knot]

so running admin didnt work oof

[stray cairn]

I have to be honest I don’t know what this means

[lavish knot]

is steam installed on yours C: drive?

just to be clear, you ran the game as admin? where the screen gives a littler yes or no prompt

[stray cairn]

It’s in programs

Yeah

[past ridge]

Apparel already live or nxt week guys?

[elfin hazel]

2 days 18 hours

[past ridge]

oh oki thank you much

[wet mirage]

painful wait, need that new stuffs

[lavish knot]

you could uninstall the game and install it on your C: drive if you have space, otherwise id open a ticket with ubisoft support so they could help guide you step by step

[elfin hazel]

praying for another heat wave or just casual clothes apparel event

I've had it with the tactical !

[stray cairn]

I’d really rather not re-download if I can avoid it, so I’ll keep trying but if it’s the only way I guess I’ll have to.

Thank you so much for trying to help though, I really appreciate it

[wet mirage]

we barely get tactical stuff, most of the recent stuff has been wacky nonsense

[distant quest]

i just want keeners outfit and i'll call it a day as far as outfits go

[elfin hazel]

I just find it so strange how in the trailer and talking about this season they're like oh agents are trained to blend in

and then give us clothes that are basically just huge red arrows saying THIS IS A DIVISION AGENT

NOBODY BUT THE AGENTS DRESS LIKE THIS SHOOT THIS GUY

I'll rock tactical and wacky sets but I always come back to the casual normal clothes cus it just feels right for div

[wet mirage]

they are specifically talking about BEFORE a disaster, it is irrelevant to the current situation because almost no civilians wander around

[elfin hazel]

still useful to blend in even in our current setting

[wet mirage]

There's no one to blend in with.

[next kiln]

it only says season 10 or something

[elfin hazel]

I'd argue that its more useful now considering the story is heading to who can you trust and whos a secret agent for the black tusk

[wet mirage]

there's nobody to blend in with lmao

There are no unarmed civilians wandering around in DC

If you wanted to blend in, you would wear outfits similar to the factions in the area and hope you go unnoticed (which doesn't actually work with the enemy ai lol)

[elfin hazel]

that doesn't stop blending in from being useful again because our whole predicament right now is that there COULD be people from big bads blending in

it doesn't matter that they're unarmed they're still big bads

[wet mirage]

What civilians are you going to blend in with in the open world?

[elfin hazel]

people at the castle people close to manny

[wet mirage]

Ok, but you're not fighting at the castle.

[elfin hazel]

that doesn't matter

its nice to have apparel events that tie into whatevers new to the game or whatever lore is taking place

[wet mirage]

You misunderstood the lore though, the blending in part was about before a crisis

[elfin hazel]

I understand that

[wet mirage]

i will say anything is better than the wacky nonsense

[elfin hazel]

I'm saying its still useful and currently part of the story just flipped onto us by the black tusk

[trail forge]

Any devs reading this i am tired of playing this game which is a constant grind to then have countdown crash in the last couple mins, have had enough

[wet mirage]

so then we need more black tusk outfits, based opinion

[elfin hazel]

I will take more black tusk outfits actually !

I have been rockin with the black tusk set with the johnson glasses for a while now

looks like the drone black tusk units

one day we'll get a sniper set surely

[next kiln]

id love ryans jacket to be back

[wet mirage]

i want the og BT outfit that has never returned ☹️

[wicked wing]

Anyone know best chance of getting coyote mask

[distant quest]

i miss the old strikers helm you know that actually had a helm attached to it

[elfin hazel]

mask targeted loot

[wicked wing]

In like summit or countdown?

[wet mirage]

it's ruined by the parcel earpro instead of full earpro, looks terrible on the left side

[wicked wing]

Or like general area

[elfin hazel]

countdown would be better since you also have the option to buy exotic caches

[elfin hazel]

as much as I hate to say it I would take more faction gear in general even if its caving to div1 stuff and putting LMB gear in (would not make sense in the same way white tusk doesn't make sense)

[distant quest]

i miss my div 1 character he looked so cool

wish we could import apparel

[wicked wing]

Ok thanks mate need it to complete my striker it was easier

Getting the house

On d1

[wet mirage]

i don't care if it's lazy, would be nice for some d1 stuff to return

[elfin hazel]

its just part of my forever hot take in the div community of div1 not bein as cool as everyone says it is

it having seperate shirts and jackets was cool though

[wet mirage]

Customization is decent in div2, but it's ruined by poor dev choices. We did not need a trashbag mask

[elfin hazel]

I'm a proud wearer of the trash suit

truly the best camo option in an urban setting with trash filled streets

would you expect a garbage bag to pop up and kill you I sure wouldn't !

[full zinc]

That's the least of my worries about devs mucking things up

[wet mirage]

imagine breathing in it, also it's missing an eyehole lol

[random quest]

I liked div1 as much as the next person, but I don't share the whole "Div1 was better because snow in tight spaces cuz new york". I love the storm, I love the weather, I love the summer vibe - it's only natural aswell.

[elfin hazel]

I've never understood the sheer love for the snow

[random quest]

It's a nice ambiance, but I also like a good thunder storm

[wet mirage]

we need seasons for div3, should have all 4 on a rotation

[elfin hazel]

I don't know if it's me just going yup thats the setting and tone or me living in canada and being used to snow

[random quest]

But. It wouldn't make sense.

[undone timber]

It does look quite pretty at times I guess

[next kiln]

this may sound controversial but what about division 1 backpack designs in division 2

[undone timber]

And survival is such an amazing experience with all the ambience and all

[undone timber]

I want the return of sling bags

[elfin hazel]

I'm a lover of lookin at snow be it in games or irl but I don't know if I'm a big enough lover to clamor over it

[wet mirage]

would make the game more visually interesting, so it'd be worth it

[undone timber]

It's not worth begging for more winter in the next game or anything but it does look cool

[next kiln]

i want those firefighter and first aid like customization

[undone timber]

Don't we have both those in div2

[elfin hazel]

kind of ?

[undone timber]

There's that first responder pack or whatever it is with a fireman outfit

[random quest]

I don't agree. I don't think it's worth sacrificing the lore aspect of the time of year for visuals.

[next kiln]

remember those tactical uplinks or something
the special skill or something

[elfin hazel]

theres the first responder set from base and I'm not sure if theres any medic sets

I would like more sets based around jobs or build types though

[elfin hazel]

the closest would be the rebecca chambers set but I'm not sure if I'd personally count that

[undone timber]

That new sniper outfit sheesh

[wet mirage]

i like how we have a cool backpack with an ammo crate now, but the left side skill floats off the back by miles 🥲

[elfin hazel]

remember when the eclipse bag would jsut not show if you had loot in the dz

[copper shoal]

Is it included extended maintenance hours ? 🤪

[elfin hazel]

I mean tuesday is 20.1

[opal nebula]

is it possible to have other items have exotic mods on it

like contracter gloves looking like BTSU gloves?

[elfin hazel]

no

[copper shoal]

ok

[opal nebula]

is it possible to favourite items to stop accidentally dismantling them

[elfin hazel]

yes

r on pc

That's the feeling when your shoulder gets stiff.

[wet mirage]

i wish, but I also wish it was the opposite as well. Most exotics look horrible

[small pasture]

So much so that your left arm disappears and smoke from the Coyote mask emits from your side.

[wet mirage]

I hate it so much, it's one of the most annoying exotics in the game and yet it's almost required for some dps builds

most of the exotic guns look like they were made in a garage out of unnecessary garbage lol

[undone timber]

Most exotic guns look really nice

The only one that doesn't is dread

Unless you're into that colour scheme

[next kiln]

chatterbox is nice

[wet mirage]

St Elmo is covered in garbage bought at Harbor Freight

[undone timber]

Saint Elmo looks really cool

[wet mirage]

It looks ridiculous. Those rails would be useless (and it already has perfectly good rails), and the ironsights wouldn't work at all lol

[random granite]

nvm the electricity guys...look at the ironsights

[wet mirage]

They are one of the most prominent things on the weapon lol

[undone timber]

Sure it's impractical but it still looks cool

Backfire is dangerously impractical but it still looks pretty cool

[main delta]

Reanimated might just be the best GE

[undone timber]

it very well maybe depending on who you ask

[elfin hazel]

its always been my favorite

backfire can drop from summit right

[elfin hazel]

yes

[main delta]

The xp gain is nice

[elfin hazel]

any smg targeted loot/exotic cache

[next kiln]

summit or jefferson trade center it is then

[undone timber]

I heavily suggest you play countdown instead

[next kiln]

and get yelled at for something because i didnt have a right build or some shit

(my countdown experience sucks)

[undone timber]

Trust me on challenging nobody cares about your build

[distant quest]

challenging no-one cares but heroic people kick for no good reason

[next kiln]

fair

nobody plays on hard or normal do they?

[undone timber]

The only time anyone will care is if you're running an offensive skill build because you're actively getting your team killed

[undone timber]

Correct

[next kiln]

Striker set:

[undone timber]

Strikers doesn't synergize with skills

[next kiln]

i mean

theres at least 1 skill thats good to pair up.

a fuckngin shi e ld

[undone timber]

By offensive skill build I mean full yellow with a turret/drone/stinger/seeker(?)

[next kiln]

stinger is funny

i got a bootleg Lefty

[wet mirage]

i think it'd look cooler without the rails, and with a nice sight. The oreo sight should be on more guns fr

[undone timber]

Nemesis is a standout for me idk why it just looks really clean

And it being a unique weapon helps

[distant quest]

it is really nice

[kind veldt]

think in game files mention it being a M700 modified

[undone timber]

It looks really similar to an AWM

[distant quest]

does tidal basin need to be invaded to start the nemesis quest?

[undone timber]

Tidal is always invaded

[kind veldt]

tidal basin is always invaded

[distant quest]

oh LUL

[kind veldt]

think only merciless and ravenous are truly unique gun models

as in they share no body with any other high end

well chameleon i guess also counts since it's an made up vector

[undone timber]

Ravenous is some kind of modified sig and merciless is a modified AK

Cham is supposed to be like a what is it .308 vector

[kind veldt]

more that if you go in files they are not using base weapon X then modified their stats like bullet king is a negev with numbers fiddled with

[undone timber]

Ah

[kind veldt]

thats what i meant not having an equivalent HE

i could be wrong about nemesis since it has been ages since i saw that

[undone timber]

I miss having truly unique exotics

I don't think nemesis has a counterpart tbh

[shell forge]

Whats the best skill set to farm for? Loving the drone

[undone timber]

Standard setup for turret/drone build is 3 empress 2 Hana 1 wyvern

[shell forge]

ty

wait empress? i dont see it

[undone timber]

It's a brandset

Empress international

Same with Hana U and wyvern

[still temple]

a bit better with 4x Exuro, Wyvern w/ Skilled (best in slot would be Caesar's Guard from Empress), Golan/Electrique, all rolled up with skill damage and status effect

[undone timber]

If you're wanting to use exuro sure

Although it's outclassed by eclipse

[still temple]

on Eclipse you don't have 360 turret

come in handy

[shell forge]

im brand new 40 basically

just got striker, what should i get next?

[still temple]

you should try Negotiator Dilemma

[shell forge]

green set?

[still temple]

yes

[undone timber]

You don't get a 360 degree fire turret but you do get fire that kills most targets remotely close to another

[still temple]

advantages and disadvantages 😄

[undone timber]

Exuro is a funny set I'll give it that

Trolling potential with getting that turret hacked

[next kiln]

what should i pair Pointman with

[gusty hull]

I’m gonna do that

[undone timber]

Belstone, FB, Lavoisier, whatever

[wet mirage]

is ravenous actually good for anything, or is it outclassed by normal rifles... which are outclassed by everything else

[undone timber]

Dealing with hounds, destroying razorback weakpoints, one shot strategies

And stagger tanking

[kind veldt]

it has it's weird gimmicks

[civic ridge]

It probably has been mentioned but Descent really needs some kind of post crash / DC reinvite / rejoin protection.

[foggy copper]

are there dev posts about dc union arena? when to expect fix?

[next kiln]

Vedmedytsya Vest makes Merciless bearable to use.

[wet mirage]

Never equipped that rifle, not even once despite owning it

[distant quest]

yeah the shoulder switch thing is questionable

[undone timber]

It has its niche

[worthy geode]

Yo Agents, my buddies said that the St. Elmo’s and Scorpio cause the bosses to bug out in Paradise Lost and then you have to restart the whole thing. Is that true or are they getting bad info?

[wet mirage]

the problem is a lot of the niche stuff is way too niche and has no practical value during normal scenarios

[next kiln]

well one thing for sure, the recoil on it is shit

[distant quest]

i used st elmo in paradise not the case but bugs aren't a constant thing

[next kiln]

i wish i could do that incursion but i cant find anyone

[small spear]

they fixed that a while ago

[distant quest]

did it with an MM group took a min on the fire guy but we managed it

[next kiln]

how do i claim weekly challenge reward

[distant quest]

that happens auto

[worthy geode]

Thanks guys

[dense saffron]

It isn’t, I’ve used both guns when I was running as a healer and a dps build respectively. I think it’s bugged in DH though

[worthy geode]

DH is what? Can’t think of what that is

[gusty hull]

Dark hours

[dense saffron]

Dark Hours aka the raid for getting the eagle bearer

[next kiln]

on normal right

[distant quest]

IH with the boxes on second boss

[undone timber]

Fair enough

Although I do enjoy having such niche items I like the variety

Yeah don't shoot the boxes on fieser with a Scorpio

[dense saffron]

Is that still bugged?

[next kiln]

theres always somewhat that one control point music that keeps playing everytime you try to takeover it

its not even in the OST

think so i just don't use them for it just incase

[dense saffron]

Alright

eagle bearer sounds worth it

[still temple]

not really, mine are collecting dust in stash

I don’t have one as I usually deconstruct it

[next kiln]

damn

[zealous monolith]

I use exuro with Combuster as my chestpiece and get the close up explosive damage while it's spraying works wonders for me

[dense saffron]

Ik

[zealous monolith]

If you use the banshee pulse, you can disorient first. it slows them down allowing more time for Burn damage and explosive damage.

I was running with another group of agents last night and two of us were running Exuro. Fire, fire, fire!

[rustic ocean]

All of them in dc

[dense saffron]

I’ve done those ones, still need to do ghost and I’m set for dc

[rustic ocean]

Do you know the key areas?

[dense saffron]

I think so, but someone on xbox should be able to help you. I’m on pc and there’s no crossplay

[rustic ocean]

Oh damn thanks bro

[dense saffron]

Yeah np

[fast barn]

How do people get so much armor while also having crazy damage?

[rustic ocean]

Stats

[fast barn]

I don't see how

Also what is the drop rate of coyote mask? I been farming that mission like 15x on challenging/heroic & haven't got one 😭

[rustic ocean]

Damn

[flint pendant]

Is Diminishing Returns in PvE going to be changed back or is it permanent?

[next kiln]

what returns?

[sullen viper]

ok guys

when d3?

[dense saffron]

No clue

[crude plume]

Where can i find the 20.1 patch notes? It's not in patch notes channel

[feral pewter]

TU20.1 Patch Notes - February 20th, 2024 you need to wait.

[crude plume]

I was just wondering cause there are already articles discussing the changes included in 20.1

[feral pewter]

I know only date, didn't look for path notes. Look on redit there

[fiery cloud]

Hope Everyone's Having A Great Weekend Gaming

[safe wyvern]

Another day with no catharsis how is it even possible it hasn’t dropped yet

[solar spindle]

Is there anything that affects the how good attributes you get on drops? I’m running countdown on challenging to get gear hoping for higher attributes. I keep getting 5-7% range (status effect, skill damage etc( with the occasional very rare higher one

[kind veldt]

higher difficulty increases the base values of rolls so it's more likely to get better stuff, thats it

[dire grotto]

I haven't played in months, and the last thing I heard about was that we were getting Specialization updates and that spec weapons would get buffed. Did that ever happen? The sniper still feels as weak and worthless as ever.

[wise basalt]

for the descent comms, how do u pick those up? Do u have to reach a certain loop?

[hybrid ore]

Spec update got delayed, but we did get Project Resolve instead, which buffed almost every underused gear+gun in the game and fixesd a bunch of other issues.

[toxic flume]

im still waiting patiently for that spec rework and more specs

[hybrid ore]

No concrete date yet, but I'd bet my Exotics that if it does hit, it'll hit before the DLC.

[toxic flume]

hopefully xD

[dire grotto]

Gocha, hopefully it turns out good. The sniper spec is really fun, but the sniper itself is dogwater
I hope we get a sniper themed exotic armor piece too. I've been running A&E with two Named armors for too long lmao

[hybrid ore]

With Hotshot being a thing now, there's not really a whole lot of space for an MMR exotic at this point.
Maybe something to replace fox or contractors, but that 3pc is just so nice.

[dire grotto]

which is Hotshot?

Ohh the new gear set. I got a set of it and I don't think it's worth using at all over A&E

it feels reminiscent of Hunter's Faith from TD1, but it lacks the jaw dropping damage to make it's drawback justifiable. I'd rather just keep A&E on for the background damage

[hybrid ore]

I'm sorry to turn you into one of those players, but combo'ing it with Determined, and it being the only Gearset that's really worth running as a 3pc, it's quite magical.

Okay here's a fun part about it; throw on 3 pieces, and some stability mods for your MMR, and you can reach 100% stability.
what that means is that you remove all weapon sway, but also make the gun 100% unmissable as long as you aim the target in the middle of the crosshairs.

so proc Determined, then shoot them in the foot and they just instantly die.

[dire grotto]

But then you have to hit another headshot again to get Determined back

[hybrid ore]

You would think, right?

[dire grotto]

But also using Chainkiller does that same thing
I use that with Nemesis and drill a boss in the head for 50 million damage and they just can't deal with it. Even bodyshots will do enough to kill with Perfect Headhunter

[hybrid ore]

You use both. Headhunter (chainkiller is the easy solution), vigilance for the BP, 3pc hotshot and 1 more piece of your pick, I like Fox's but contractors works too.

determined on an MMR of your choice (something that hits really hard, like m700/white death/sr1, etc

can clear an entire heroic cp before most of them leave the spawn room door.

[dire grotto]

That's true. My main speed issue is just charging Nemesis up

I wish it was just a little faster

I also wish they brought back the scope function from TD1 where you weren't forced into 1st person POV unless you zoomed in. I much prefer scopeless sniping

[hybrid ore]

Actually you basically can go scopeless with this build, as your sway is at 0 so you can flat-out blind fire from cover and still 1shot kill.

[toxic flume]

i iwsh for that as well, would be a nice feature again while ads set of blind fire

[vital aspen]

I have 2x10% armor on kills, which works great. However, it doesn't give me bonus armor, is that true? How to get bonus armor (the blue bars)?

[dire grotto]

It would take a little bit for me to get a new MMR with Determined so I can get it in my library

[hybrid ore]

As (almost) always with div2, if you want something fast, just run Countdown with TL and you'll have a copy in a few runs.

[dire grotto]

True true. I haven't run Countdown in a while since pub groups were so bad at it

[hybrid ore]

just be warned that it is hard to go back to regular sniping after you try this out, as it is pretty broken.

and this is coming from someone who mainlined Aces for like 3 years straight.

[dire grotto]

gocha, so it's 3pc Hotshot
any advice for named items? Exotics?

[toxic flume]

momento pickups, adrenaline rush when close to enemies or bloodsucker is 10% bonus arm on kill for 10 sec and stacks up to 10x. if your run and gun

[hybrid ore]

You don't really need Exotics, they're not always mandatory on builds in div2, thankfully. Think of them more like unique side-grades, in most cases.
tl;dr for the build is just Chainkiller, Vigilance bp (your choice of brand, but HSD or MMR damage will be most useful, and something like Foxes Knees as the last slot.
Just make sure that your MMR has stability mods on it to reach 100% when the build is done.

attributes overall are basically just HSD and some weapon handling if you can fit it.

[toxic flume]

momento is really good in general, free dmg and bonus arm on pick ups with small passive arm regen

[dire grotto]

Nice. I already have a Gift that I've been working on getting maxed out.

I did snag a Relic, so I have Determined already. I can run with this

[vital aspen]

Are those Exotic gear pieces?

[hybrid ore]

hey that works. You super don't need perfect pieces for the build btw.
relic is kinda low damage overall, you kinda want something that hits higher at base.

[dire grotto]

Oh yeah I just had my Gift because I liked having Perfect stuff from years ago

[toxic flume]

all BP talents but momento is a exo BP

[dire grotto]

oof, yeah it's not one-tapping named enemies

[hybrid ore]

You can also drop the fox's and go for 4 pieces of Hotshot, means you never theoretically need to reload.

[dire grotto]

it takes a lot of shots to down a named enemy lol

[hybrid ore]

try seeing if any of the vendors have an m700 or sr1 or something for sale. The base damage is the important part.

ah wait no Determined in your Library.

[dire grotto]

yee

all it takes with my old build is to get Headhunter up from one kill and I'm dealing enough to down a boss

[hybrid ore]

Honestly I say run a Countdown, then follow the "rule" for loot in it.
e.g. Keep > Library > Expertise > Decon > Sale.

[dire grotto]

51 million to the head, 39 million to the body with Nemesis

[hybrid ore]

Nemesis is great, but this is just a different kinda build. I have a feeling you'll like it if you "click".

[dire grotto]

I'll certainly give it a shot on a bolt-action MMR once I get Determined to drop

It would be nice if you could dismantle a named item to get the regular version of it's Perfect perk though

and yeah Nemesis is fun in the DZs too. I've been called a hacker a couple of times because I'll land 1 headshot and turn some Rogue into a cloud of red mist

[vital aspen]

I select my weapons based on DPS (DMG*RPM) but with many reds core attrbutes, shouldn't I better focus on high DMG and to a lesser extent to RPM? I use Elmo a lot but has low base DMG..

[dire grotto]

If you don't have a completely red circle then you're playing the game wrong :clueless:

[vital aspen]

well, some armor is nice right.. otherwise you get killed instantly

[dire grotto]

If I have any more than 731k armor on me I'm going to puke

[hybrid ore]

There is no single rule for what armour or guns to pick in div2, higher fire rate guns are great on some builds, terrible on others.

[dire grotto]

if you're determined enough you can run without armor like me
I stick out like a sore thumb, but keeping mobile helps reduce my chances of getting shot

[vital aspen]

OK, let's say for countdown/raids?

[hybrid ore]

Those 2 modes have no relation to each other. Countdown is just a big cluster of people all sprinting in the same direction.
Raids are coordinated.

[dire grotto]

I've done Dark Hours with this

[hybrid ore]

MMR builds in dark hours aren't....super great. Dark Hours is pretty much a DPS check, so what you want is something that kills without much build up, and kills fast.

like, the most recommended build for newbies in DH is just the standard red DPS, which is just high-end and maybe Coyotes.

[vital aspen]

yes, I think I have something similar but with 2 armor cores. feels like a good balance.

[hybrid ore]

Just stack all the damage via insta kill stuff, a nice solid AR, and shoot the baddies. Couldn't be a simpler build.

although the pieces can be a pain to get.

[dire grotto]

eugh, recon drone showed up

[vital aspen]

thanks once more all!

[dire grotto]

the recon drones need to be deleted from the game lmao

they're so unfair to fight against

[hybrid ore]

It helps if you shoot the red bits (on the "wings" and the red dome underneath) but yeah they're a real pain.
nw fcorne, anytime!

[dire grotto]

I mean yeah, but they still need to be completely deleted. They deal gargantuan damage, they entirely negate the effect of cover, and constantly bombard you with minigun fire or rockets with basically no breaks

they're just designed horribly as a "world boss"
and they don't even give good loot

[dense saffron]

Use an emp sticky then go to town on them should work

[hybrid ore]

You can actually negate the rockets fairly easily if you shoot the light as it goes from yellow to red, but it takes some practice.
oh and their AI sucks so you can fairly reliable get a bit of roof between you and it, and it'll hit that without ever repositioning to hit you.

[dense saffron]

I usually camp under a door then I take them out that way

[hybrid ore]

^
When I see one, I always just pull out a BK and use a few hundred rounds on it.

[dire grotto]

I try using doors, but they keep getting headglitches

[dense saffron]

St.elmos works as well especially with negotiators which is what I used yesterday when me and my clanmates were doing legendary Roosevelt.

[dire grotto]

we need ways of disrupting their machine guns

[dense saffron]

I think shooting their propellers works

[dire grotto]

Only until the red boxes are dead

which only takes out about half their health

[red lion]

There's no way to reroll st elmos without the blueprint I mean

No*

[dense saffron]

I think you can recalibrate it

[hybrid ore]

You can't "reroll" exotics exactly, what you do is Reconfigure them via the Craftibg Table, and it randomises the 3rd stat, and the % of the first 2 stats.

warning: do not do it if you have a full inventory.

[red lion]

I meant without the blueprint because I just picked the st elmos off the floor I can't change it can i

[dense saffron]

Think inaya the npc in the base of operations sells the reconfiguration blueprint

[hybrid ore]

some of the exotics don't require that anymore, so it's a bit confusing.

[red lion]

Ok will have a look

[hybrid ore]

remember the dome thingy. Keep stunning it. It should be dead before long.

[dense saffron]

Got it

[toxic flume]

this is true

[dense saffron]

👌🏻

[azure lintel]

Just deconstructed a max crit damage gear mod while farming cause i thougt it was gonna be bad 😵

[toxic flume]

also reconfig blueprints will show up if you have the exo. cant buy them if you dont have the exo yet

[hybrid ore]

Consider it a teaching moment.
div2 teaches brutally.

[dire grotto]

it sure does

[azure lintel]

Hahaha for sure I was just grinding levels and got it

I actually fell to my knees

[toxic flume]

ive done that so much, i now run around with 50/150 space left to pick everything up now xD and look later

[dense saffron]

Rip

[hybrid ore]

There's an incredibly high chance that a lot of people here are holding on to terrible gear/guns that they can never use.

[azure lintel]

Im so used to just deconstructing everything that’s not level 10

[hybrid ore]

I found a random purple smg in my backpack the other day. No earthly clue on how it got there.

[azure lintel]

Then marking whatever else as junk unless it’s god roll

[hybrid ore]

The rule I follow for loot is:
Keep if good > Library > Expertise > Decon > sell.
It's a good way to cut down on the junk.

[toxic flume]

i recommend donating everything to max expertise and deconstruct later that is already max expertise

[dire grotto]

that's what I do

[toxic flume]

^this

[azure lintel]

Ya that’s usually what I do. Was just so suprised it was max and by the time I seen my fingers were robotic like 😂 auto deconstruct

[dire grotto]

I basically only will put stuff in the library if it's a max roll

[hybrid ore]

I think you only can now.

my Library has been done for quite some time, so no way to check.

[dire grotto]

nah, I've had an old attribute that allows me to donate an incomplete stat

[signal terrace]

mind posting a photo of this, sadly am visual.

[red lion]

Yh I see it perfect

[dire grotto]

should Exotics not be capped at 1 per weapon/armor?

[hybrid ore]

I stole it shamelessly from Raucey

always forget how to put those links. "circle before square". Gotta remember that one.

[toxic flume]

balancing reasons

[dire grotto]

It wasn't like that in TD1 and it was fine

[signal terrace]

cheers

[hybrid ore]

Exotics in div1 were incredibly underpowered compared to some of them in div2, but more importantly: they were all just generic items.
Imagine how broken it'd be if you could have an Elmo and Ouro and Coyotes and whatever else on the same build.

[red lion]

Haha how lucky do you have to to get maxed out stats for re roll

[dire grotto]

tbf I don't know what any of those are 😆

[hybrid ore]

Lol yeah that tracks :p

[dire grotto]

only exotic I know and/or care about is Nemesis and sometimes Mantis, but not that much

[toxic flume]

that with momento. sheesh

[hybrid ore]

Hey there we go.

[toxic flume]

swayers or Ninja Kneepads can be good also with that as well

[red lion]

Is there a certain way to farm exotic components?

[dire grotto]

I would like Sawyer's more if the damage didn't go away the moment you moved at all

it should be while you're in cover

[hybrid ore]

Countdown(on challenging)+ buy an Exotic Cache every 2-3 runs, and also Projects give them now too.

[hybrid ore]

Ah the old days of trying to snipe with Sawyers.
and then realising that they sucked.

[frozen meadow]

They should be capped

[toxic flume]

i only run swayers for anti explo staggered

[red lion]

Do you mean deconstruct the item from the exotic cache?

[fiery cloud]

Hey Rivens and Eevee

[hybrid ore]

Sure, you'll get stuff you don't need.

hey Saph

[regal grove]

🤔 server restart incomming ?

[hybrid ore]

#server-status doesn't look like it.

[toxic flume]

ngl the new exo gloves is meh

[dire grotto]

I just want a good exotic armor that's focused on sniping 😿

[toxic flume]

its good for tommy so i can say "welcome to my lil friend"

[red lion]

Is it a guaranteed exotic component if I deconstruct a exotic weapon?

[toxic flume]

yes

any exo weapon or arm

[red lion]

That's weird I just deconstructed a backfire smg and I didn't get one

Ok just did it again and got one

[toxic flume]

thats weird

[worn orchid]

does countdonw matchmake have a bug ? I start on heroic but if i open the screen it say normal...

[dire grotto]

If I were to design an exotic for snipers I would probably make one where after getting an MMR headshot kill you project a temporary after-image of yourself where you last were allowing you to swiftly move to a different spot without drawing fire

[red lion]

Just wasted 30 exotic components and still didn't get damage out of cover on my st elmos 🤣🤣

[toxic flume]

does incoming repairs affect perfectly efficient for arm kits or only skills

[random quest]

I could see it working by creating a decoy of you that lasts 5-10 seconds.

[hybrid ore]

If only we already had a skill that could do exactly that, and an MMR that reset it's cooldown on kill.

[loud bay]

👀👀

[dire grotto]

Yeah, but one that doesn't need the Decoy to be equipped or thrown

[loud bay]

Back to hiding in man cave I go

[hybrid ore]

new idea for an Exotic: a charged sniper rifle called the "sworn enemy"

[random quest]

Exactly. The exotic would create the decoy - and it would create another one on every HS Kill

[dire grotto]

:V

[loud bay]

That would be an savage tbh not gonna lie

[toxic flume]

does incoming repairs affect arm kits?

or only skills

[dire grotto]

I would love if Massive allowed us to use two of the same skill type, but not the exact same skill
like being able to use two drones or two hives, but not two Revive hives

[loud bay]

And great to see you still around btw

[hybrid ore]

what other skills are you trying to use with an MMR build? You're not weird like me so you aren't using Tacti Drone.

[dire grotto]

I use the Tactical drone lmao

[hybrid ore]

cousin!

[dire grotto]

Tactidrone and healing chem
