oh heal chem, nvm

[dire grotto]

but I REALLY hope we can be allowed to use two drones so I can use a Tactical drone and a healing drone

[hybrid ore]

Well the canonical reason why you can't use 2 drones at once is just "you only have 1 drone and you modify it for the purpose", but I can imagine that being pretty fun, broken but fun.

[loud bay]

When we gonna get a revival drone like the black tusk

[hybrid ore]

One day I'll get to walk into a mission with a drone over each shoulder and pretend to be Megamind. One day.

[next kiln]

Stinger hive is funny

[toxic flume]

imagine, defender drone and healer drone with alot of arm regen and incoming repairs

would be broken in PvP

[hybrid ore]

Just do what the heavies in Leg' missions do, strap a stinger hive to your back and slowly walk forward like the Candyman.

bees!

[toxic flume]

if only every hive act like an artificer hive to be passive

[hybrid ore]

I just want to put a sticky bomb on a teammate and have them Outcast rush into a spawn room.
is that too much to ask?

bonus points if someone plays the "headless scream" from Serious Sam during it.

[toxic flume]

if this was true, healer builds will be very viable asf

[dire grotto]

I love the head cannon that my tactical drone feeds info to Nemesis's little scope screen that it has

[quasi igloo]

Hello, i lost my eigle berrer with the new bug, Ubisoft will do something for get back ?

[frozen meadow]

I did that with a crossbow shot

[frozen meadow]

No

[toxic flume]

run DH again xD

[random quest]

There is mentions in the TU20.1 patch notes of them looking at it
"Details regarding the compensation will be provided at a later time."

[hybrid ore]

the details: hahahaha, read the note next time.

[frozen meadow]

I wonder if I'll get my blb back

[hybrid ore]

You need to be more careful when you eat soup.

wait i read that wrong.

[toxic flume]

everyone get a huge rss cache xD, lets be real here

[kind veldt]

everyone gets to pick an exotic to get for free

of course i'm joking but wouldnt mind a free regulus

[frozen meadow]

That one person who picks imperial dynasty:

[hybrid ore]

the pool is "imperial dynasty, chameleon, and dread edict".

[quasi igloo]

Where can I find patchnote 20.1?

[kind veldt]

it's not out yet

February 20th, 2024 - TU20.1 Patch Notes

** TU20.1 PATCH NOTES**

** NEW VENDOR - DANNY WEAVER**

• Added the new textile vendor, Danny Weaver, who sells a limited stock of caches which refreshes weekly and can only be purchased with textiles.
• To locate him, you need to find the Snitch, who will now reveal both Cassie Mendoza and Danny's locations on the map.

** MANHUNT**

• Fixe...

[quasi igloo]

Thanks you

[elfin hazel]

damn thats a big embed

[frozen meadow]

ubi.li/uwuli

[dire grotto]

eugh, the vendor can only be found by finding a Snitch?

I hate hunting Snitches

[toxic flume]

i have way to many textiles for danny vendor

[dire grotto]

I've got 8K

[toxic flume]

i have 22k and 99+ keys left

[hybrid ore]

There is a certain method for getting the snitch to spawn, but it's best not to bring it up on here.
Just google around a bit, you'll find it.

[full zinc]

apparel > store will tell you exact amount

[dire grotto]

why is it not good to talk about it here?

[hybrid ore]

This is an official server and it's technically an exploit.

[dire grotto]

ahh gocha

[toxic flume]

i have 480 keys sheesh

[full zinc]

snitch always has a few locations. its not hard or glitchy to find him

[elfin hazel]

thats like 1.5-2 hours

[toxic flume]

#ask-td2-community message

[full zinc]

how long would it take for 7k? 😅

[elfin hazel]

ummmmmmmmmmmmm

[full zinc]

😆 like 28 hrs or something

[elfin hazel]

at the low end I wanna say 3 or 4

its faster with a controller with what I've found

[full zinc]

oh nice. mkb is slow af

[toxic flume]

set up a macro for chache openings kek

EZ

[elfin hazel]

too risky given eac

[hybrid ore]

The vendor has a limited pool, right? So it's not like you need to open them all at once.

[elfin hazel]

its limited yea

[toxic flume]

oof...

[dire grotto]

are they new cosmetics or are they old?

[hybrid ore]

Caches, not cosmetics.

[full zinc]

every 100 keys is roughly 10k textiles

[dire grotto]

Ohhh, they're just gear caches?

that's less enticing lmao

[toxic flume]

dam i can get about 40-50k more

[full zinc]

better than nothing as is the current state

[elfin hazel]

1 exotic cache per reset IIRC

[full zinc]

im sure theyll find some other stuff to add down the road as well

[elfin hazel]

new cosmetic vendor surely

[hybrid ore]

I know it won't be a thing, but I'd love it if very occasionally they added a credits only apparel item.

[kind veldt]

It sells you expertise levels lol

[hybrid ore]

I mean, technically caches are paid expertise.

[full zinc]

yeah, like most of the shoes

[toxic flume]

thats would be amazing tbh

[full zinc]

rest of set was textile

[hybrid ore]

I've got like 12 things left in total that are credits and it bothers my hoarder brain.

and the worst part is I have enough credits to buy them.

[elfin hazel]

always tempting to go what if I did spend like 200+ dollars to get everything else

one day I'll be rid of this 1998 credits

[hybrid ore]

I got the "one time purchase pack" for 3k credits on a discount and I've been good and kept 1k at a time for season passes.

[azure lintel]

Anyone else’s medkits just not work with GE sometimes?

[hybrid ore]

There's a 5 second cooldown on the insta-use ones, are you sure it's not that?

[azure lintel]

Noo sometimes they just don’t work

[toxic flume]

does efficient chest talent count towards insta arm kit?

[random quest]

The broken armor directive bugs out sometimes and the armor kits just does nothing. They're spent tho

[hybrid ore]

Yeah I'm aware, I'm asking about their issue.

[azure lintel]

Ya that’s prob what it is

[random quest]

I figured that was their issue and they're attributing it to the GE cuz they haven't noticed it till now - as I have had the same experience.

[cerulean field]

restarted recently, max level already

[hybrid ore]

Try checking down in #lfg-pc, that's where the LFG folks hang out.

[cerulean field]

oki!

[dense saffron]

Nice

[azure lintel]

does headhunter keep the dodge city damage bonus or is it just to proc your initital kill

[dense saffron]

Think it’s for proccing

[cinder oasis]

Anyone have any good femalw character creation guides

[small spear]

just first and second kills will be increased

[azure lintel]

@small spear thanks for the info!

[hybrid ore]

There's a limited number of faces available, just pick the one you like I guess.
It really doesn't matter, no one's going to be looking at it.

[cinder oasis]

I want her to look good

Ive found 2 good ones so farz the rest are all ugly

Gonna go with this 1 since shes kinda cute

https://youtu.be/SK79LShP4Co

[random quest]

Good is subjective.
Odds are you will have gear covering most looks anyways.

[hybrid ore]

I genuinely don't know if that's a jokr or not, but please keep your weird stuff to yourself in the future.

[cinder oasis]

Clearly your soft

[neon wyvern]

tfw you create an attractive female character but wear a mask 99% of the time

[hybrid ore]

You've already been warned twice, don't make this a 3rd strike.

just go, no harm done.

[random quest]

Wait what, why's that weird? It's just a character creation.
The comment on the video is weird

[neon wyvern]

3 years ago comment

[hybrid ore]

People are creepy. It's not the weirdest thing I've read that the auto-mod caught.

[random quest]

I'm just confused, because the link is to the video. It's a random ass comment, but there's random ass comments on all videos.

[neon wyvern]

seems like riven got some ptsd

[hybrid ore]

You know that bit in Event Horizon where Sam Neil talks about showing you visions of hell? That, but with more nsfw links.

[toxic flume]

Did some testing and perfectly efficient works with insta kits, but the spec buff only works as intended when you hold to apply the arm kit.

It seems like I was getting 50% arm on insta kit set of 25%. Which is also nice.

Might be my new thing for chest talent for run and gunning. Or PvP.

My arm regen build is gonna be good with it also.

[proven gazelle]

I think they should add the ability to wear glasses with the menpo

[red lion]

Worth doing heroic over challenging on the countdown trying to get maxed out gear mods

[azure lintel]

IMO countdown is quantity over quality if you want big rolls you should be doing Legendary Summit

[cinder oasis]

Can i change markings like tatoos, face pain, blemishes, scars and so on later? Or once i create my character its done

[red lion]

Ok cheers

[azure lintel]

Donke, hair hair color, face paint and scars are changable at any time

[cinder oasis]

What about tatoos?

[random quest]

Can all be changed at white house/haven

[azure lintel]

the entire character is changeable minus gender actually

[cinder oasis]

Really?

[azure lintel]

yeah they added that feature about a year ago

[cinder oasis]

Since when and how do i do this

[azure lintel]

goto the mirror at white house or haven

[cinder oasis]

Ty

Oki just created my character ^^

I forgot u need to the wony campaign before hitting rank 40

Ugh, i was hoping to jump straight into countdown

[random quest]

I just love doing legendary DUA with 5D and the armor break bug happens

[kind veldt]

I can say that legendary witg directives is not for me

Already did it for the chestpiece

[random quest]

I didn't mind it (having fun with my Regulus) but good lord the armor break bug is annoying

[red lion]

What gear set are people rocking

[dense saffron]

Strikers and negotiators for dps, future initiative for a heal build

[azure lintel]

sometimes i think about the fragile armor bug and i make up this scenario in my head that the devs are actually seriously working on it but they need more data to really prove the cause. think asking someone to flip a coin forever to to definitely prove that theres a 50% chance on a flip

Strikers/High End Dps Turret and Drone and Artillery Turret are my personal gotos, on each of my 4 characters for the weekly legendary

I think Hotshot Determined Headhunter with Model 700 can probably do it too even without the event buff

[toxic flume]

my healer build here, if you wanna try it out #td2-build-advice message

[lapis junco]

yes

[toxic flume]

@lapis junco

i did some personal testing lol

[lapis junco]

yea insta kit isnt spec related

[lapis junco]

its gone on tuesday

[toxic flume]

i do like the 50% insta kits set of 25% alot more and refunds insta kits as well lol

[toxic flume]

wym?

[lapis junco]

they are patching it

its a "bug" that really should just be a feature

[toxic flume]

bug as in what?

[lapis junco]

effcient working with insta kit isnt intended. nor is syst suppose to be able to spam insta kits.

[wise basalt]

does the nemesis reset every wk after u kill or each time you jump into descent u still have to face it regardless?

[toxic flume]

all i see is this #ask-td2-community message

[lapis junco]

TLDr after tuesday (or whenever the patch is) using insta kit with efficient will only give 25% armour not 50%. "Fixed the issue where Survivalist and Firewall specializations received 50% flat armor after using Instant Armor kit instead of intended 25%". Syst cor wont be able to use insta kit then syst cor kit at the same time. " Fixed the issue that allowed using the Hackstep Protocol Talent in combination with Instant Armor kit instead of going on cooldown."

ig its only for surv and firewall

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

[toxic flume]

o the sys corrupt.

[lapis junco]

efficient wont work with insta kit in terms of boosting armour % is what i understand

it still returns armoury ofc

[toxic flume]

thats a minor fix but that dosent involve with efficient talent tho

efficent talent will allow insta kits to have a chance to refund

[toxic flume]

i saw this bug and didnt realize it

[lapis junco]

as it stands you dont get 50% armour from insta kit without efficient even if your using firewall or surv

that note is linked directly to efficient

it still returns armour but its not going to boost insta kit armour %

itll be 25 instead of 50

[toxic flume]

in notes says nothing about efficient talent tho

[lapis junco]

ik but test it. use firewall. self dmg use insta kit, itll be 25%. put on efficient, self dmg again. itll heal 50%

[toxic flume]

so its a stealth nerf

or stealth fix without saying its the efficient talent

[lapis junco]

ig maybe they dont want people to know thats how it works but

[toxic flume]

its basically a fix to efficient talent without saying it exactly. to keep it to 25% flat either way

which i wish they kept it the same as in double insta kit but add a longer cooldown duration in between insta kits tbh

[lapis junco]

it should just be a feature

efficient should double insta kit

[toxic flume]

it should tbh

[rain hedge]

how do i do the search for kelso mission startee

[lapis junco]

it actually makes fights last alot longer and helps with outplayability. PVP people have wanted a survivability meta for a long time

let us have syst and efficient builds

oh and i made the clip so im posting it anyways https://streamable.com/owulz6

[toxic flume]

devs just need to exact this for efficient talent to balance it

[viscid cargo]

haven

[lapis junco]

I dont even think we need a longer cooldown imo

[rain hedge]

thx!

[lapis junco]

I like crypto's video on it regarding PVP

everything is getting dmg buffs but no armour buffs are being given. power creep without balancing that power creep out

[toxic flume]

if more or not. should be a baseline feature from the get go to make efficient more viable to the people

[toxic flume]

devs be like (lowkey)

2.2m arm can do decent but dps over takes it either way

[lapis junco]

you can have good survivabilty with regen and max armour but you do fuckall dps

takes way too long to kill that its completely useless

[toxic flume]

basically

pvp balance is better now but still trash. dps is still king of all trades

[lapis junco]

as much as i think this is a missed PVP QOL opportunity in the recent months they have been making some pretty positive changes. definitely heading in the right direction just not there yet

[toxic flume]

vey true indeed

pvp can finally get some love since project resolve happened

i hope for more balancing to make pvp atleast more enjoyable

[lapis junco]

im just begging for a survivability meta. longer fights that promote outplaying rather then just pointing and clicking with high DPS builds would be a really nice breath of fresh air from the current insanely fast TTK

[toxic flume]

facts, the good ol Div1 days again

longer fights is more enjoyable and more skill is required

short fights make me wanna pull a summit1G move

sumSMASH~1

[undone timber]

Classified nomad moment

Absolutely ridiculous procs

[lapis junco]

even striker before the station nerf

insta med kits giving me insta station flashbacks

[toxic flume]

i hope we get classy sets back in Div3

[lapis junco]

I hope nothing like nomad ever exists in div 2

or ever exists in the div franchise ever again

[toxic flume]

why not. nomad works the best when solo anyways

[lapis junco]

because ive ran circles around a house or store with 6+ people chasing me for like 15 minutes without dying

its stupid and annoying as fuck

its a completely RNG based set too

you could get 3 nomad procs in a row

[toxic flume]

thats the server having skill issues of not getting you

[lapis junco]

which is insanely silly

[lapis junco]

its stupid i hate it

i will die on this hill

[toxic flume]

solo yes. if in group or duo, no. only one extra life on long cooldowns

[lapis junco]

duo its still stupid in a 4 stack its useless yea

[toxic flume]

striker pre nerf is more dumb compared to nomad ngl

[lapis junco]

atleast it took some skill

nomad was all RNG

striker you had to hit your shots (granted the stack decay was slow as balls lol)

[toxic flume]

post nerf striker was heavily on skill compared to pre nerf

[lapis junco]

I think striker was too strong but cheesy

pred was cheesy aswell but i didnt hate it that much

[toxic flume]

pred was very noobie compared to striker

[kind veldt]

predator and striker kinda broke the rules

[toxic flume]

i wish banshee was better in general

[kind veldt]

it let you be DPS/tank by investing in only one

so it just broken the scales

[lapis junco]

I think i overlooked D3 when i played div 1

i never used it or cared for it but looking back on it i think i missed out

i only ever played reclaimer and striker

[kind veldt]

banshee definetly made shields a big thing

[toxic flume]

i always never a shield player to began with but the d3 bug was nasty tho

[lapis junco]

idk anything about banshee

[toxic flume]

9k stam D3 shield and swap to 9k firearms build, sheesh

AB is always my love and only

i want AB to comeback again

[lapis junco]

AB was fun

[toxic flume]

its very good, but restricts you to solo to balance it out for ults

AB is wifey

ill die to have AB again in Div2 or Div3

[lapis junco]

AB in div 2 would go crazy

[toxic flume]

momento but better xD

AB as a exo pc, you get momento

[red lion]

What's the best way to farm true sons tactical assessments

[undone timber]

True sons bounties

[red lion]

Ok

[safe wyvern]

Can you get the eb from incursion too??

[toxic flume]

DH raid only exclusive

[dense saffron]

You used to be able too but that was patched

[lapis junco]

DH raid or DZ

[toxic flume]

i forgot its in dz now

[undone timber]

May as well not be given the odds

[rain hedge]

you guys experiencing bugs btw?

[lapis junco]

what are the odds again?

like .024 or something

[toxic flume]

idk, i know its lower than DH raid by alot

[undone timber]

Something like that

Better to bite the bullet and just run dark hours

[neon wyvern]

ye dark hours isn't even that complicated

[toxic flume]

all you gotta do is run DPS build in DH

EZ claps

[formal flame]

I’ve gotten 4 eagle bearers and a ravenous

Oddly never while it’s been targeted loot

In dz

[undone timber]

I don't think raid exotics are affected by target loot

[formal flame]

Scam

[undone timber]

Same with bighorn

[small spear]

correct

[lapis junco]

i want big horn

i still dont have it

[small spear]

just no life in legendary runs

[lapis junco]

i did that like 2 years ago

spent like a month playing summit 100

and doing the legendary every week

[small spear]

i meant actually no lifing

[lapis junco]

still never got it dispite being a 4 stack the entire time

[small spear]

do legendary over and over

not in summit

[lapis junco]

I do not like PVE enough

and im horrible at legendary i need someone to carry me

[formal flame]

Do a dua with hh determined

[undone timber]

Summit floor 10 kill the boss and wipe until you get it was how I got mine

Only to get it from legendary tidal like a day after

[formal flame]

While the event is goin

Can one shot the boss at the end

[lapis junco]

i cant

I do not like PVE enough to spend more then 1 hour farming

[undone timber]

It took me like 15 minutes

Flat 5 percent drop rate on the boss

[lapis junco]

ill do it at some point

i gotta make a floor 10 save

and a skill build

[undone timber]

I hear bighorn is pretty alright now too

[small spear]

it's okay i haven't played for almost a month now

I'm pretty much a new player at this point

[lapis junco]

its meta for regen and sys builds

any HSD build basically

[lapis junco]

you should help me

[red lion]

Game doesn't wanna give me max chd kneepads

[undone timber]

Back to new York with you

[small spear]

when i get back sure, i got a couple sessions lined up

[toxic flume]

again?

[lapis junco]

people line sessions up?

[lapis junco]

well it always has been

[kind veldt]

why is big horn meta for system corruption? is this a PVP thing?

[toxic flume]

i was metah then it disappeared to bleed builds with foam

[lapis junco]

PVP yes

[kind veldt]

i mean i could use an excuse to remke my system corruption and replace my tip of the spear

[toxic flume]

hsd stacks

[undone timber]

Tips wtf

[toxic flume]

sys did get a buff... imma try the sys buff with eb

[lapis junco]

its quitte good rn

after insta med kit change its gonna go back to useless

[lapis junco]

is it worth using directives

my guess is no

[undone timber]

Yeah directives don't affect it

Flat 5 percent chance

Same with TL

[shy musk]

was the lmb logo always on those tv screens in the grand washington hotel

[undone timber]

They could totally pull an infinity ward and revive bliss and just have the lore explanation be "I wasn't in that chopper"

[frosty wadi]

At this point, Im betting the dlc is gonna bring back lmb as a new faction

Would also explain why they also didn’t give us an lmb outfit but gave us lmb gear

Would also explain how black tusk is still around if they aren’t the main villains of the dlc

[undone timber]

Id be all for it

Pulled out of Manhattan and just took over brooklyn

[toxic flume]

i love 3v1s all day in DZ, very fair and balanced

solo life is the best

[lapis junco]

Eb supremacy

[undone timber]

Yes

[toxic flume]

it takes so much skill to kill one player when you need 3 people to focus one.

i love this

[undone timber]

If you can proc tenacity it's free

[toxic flume]

cant when you die in .2 secs with 3 mill total hp

yes, im using my 1.9 mil arm with 1.1 mil health build

As in the one that comes up when you're near a downed player?

[toxic flume]

striker elmo, the pesti with haz pro/arm regen, and full gold with acr with coyotes and foxes. they all have 6 blue cores

[azure lintel]

Do any of you fine folks know the math for rolling the unicorn Hapsburg Chest and Backpack or have a link to one of those spreadsheets with all attributes talents so I can figure it out. I wanna figure out if I have enough ingame money/materials to realistically do it in a few hours

[lapis junco]

maxx rolled with DTA

[shrewd cosmos]

So uh people can't get the hunter killer and shield splinter blueprints anymore huh?

[undone timber]

Completely rng

All I can say is it's incredibly rare

And you will likely run out of mats and money before you craft one

[undone timber]

It's being removed yes

[shrewd cosmos]

I still have them somehow 🤫

[azure lintel]

@undone timber SHD 13000K 4 characters, so it might be feasible at half a percent but maybe not a thousandth of a percent

[undone timber]

Not patched out yet

[azure lintel]

also i dont delete characters cause reasons, so id like to be able to figure out the actual percentile chance before i even attempt to roll all my money and mats

[undone timber]

It's straight up just completely random

You could get it first try or 1000th

[azure lintel]

awe, so is flipping a coin to a point.

[undone timber]

You could calculate all the permutations and combinations to get a theoretical chance but I CBA for allat

[undone timber]

Pretty much

[azure lintel]

lol

[toxic flume]

#td2-build-advice message what do you think about this build?

[shrewd cosmos]

Doh lol

I'm trying to roll a good hunter killer right now. Hopefully with crit rate and damage so I can roll the armor

Might try skill hast, stats effect one too

[undone timber]

Helf

[toxic flume]

a real hunter lol

[azure lintel]

@undone timber google was actually useful for once found a reddit post they did the math taking into account the weighting added in for cores (blue core favors blue 1st attribute) and it's 1/2304 🙂 thats not HORRIBLE, it's awful though lol

[solar spindle]

Why is everyone shooting the flare in countdown so early now? Almost every other run someone fires it off right away rather than waiting

[undone timber]

Unfortunate lobbies

[solar spindle]

I guess just bad luck. Just seems so often now I thought I missed something

[misty sleet]

Can someone care to explain me what is happening, why im making shoots of 1 million with a skill build when I'm killing npc in the green cloud

[undone timber]

Reanimated triples headshot damage

[misty sleet]

Sniper build must be giving an insane damage

Thank you friend

[undone timber]

It is, yes; the numbers are crazy

[undone timber]

[rare vapor]

132m per shot. pretty much overkill anything up to legendary named bosses

[opal radish]

My regulus Hits for 300+ million

[heady bramble]

Umm since when did the green mist hurt friendlies and kill hostages??? Almost makes doing hostage rescues impossible. Also destroys your reviver hive!!

[rare vapor]

that's too low, my does 1 billion

[opal radish]

Not kidding lol

[rare vapor]

🥳

[opal radish]

Every 30s

[misty sleet]

Yes, I hate the green cloud, always kills my dron

[rare vapor]

i just dont use anything proxy that follows me around which gets killed off. including stationaries like turrets and decoys

[ebon steeple]

woah was not expecting the devs to not rollback after the exotic reroll bug, especially when it had to have been mostly EBs being lost, wonder what the compensation is

[rare vapor]

probably no compensation

[ebon steeple]

no there will be, its in the upcoming patch notes

[rare vapor]

they did warn people

[opal radish]

Exotic materials

[ebon steeple]

i do need to get my scorpio to 20

[rare vapor]

lol like what? 10

[opal radish]

511

[rare vapor]

riiiiight. and i still have my compensation cache from 2023

which is 55 exotics

[odd veldt]

55!

might have to “lose” my EB real quick

[toxic flume]

when people see rogues they left, wtf is this bs

[rare vapor]

rogues

[toxic flume]

it was on tidal at heroic difficulty and they all left. scared or what. im so confused rn. when you die. it dont reset the mission anyways

[rare vapor]

probably group crash. happens a lot since the update. random crashing for multiple group members.

[toxic flume]

skill issues ig, i havent experienced that issue in almost 4 months. even if so, its rare asf

im just lucky or sum

[rare vapor]

2 of my legendary tidal just left just now, yes, its quite normal

crash fest

[ebon ermine]

Game stability (esp. in Countdown; crashes, disconnects, final crate multiple disconnects) is WORSE AFTER the "Resolve" update than prior to -- not including the plethora of other bugs that were introduced. Perhaps they were functioning under a different definition of 'resolve'. 🤦‍♂️

[still temple]

incompetence at its finest 😐

they are beaten by their own creation 🤦‍♂️

[ebon ermine]

LOL. Perhaps they should use someone else's AI to fix it. 😂

"When artificial bests natural."

[still temple]

man, I have over 7000 hours in this game, on two accounts, main has over 20,000 SHD, second is over 3,000 SHD, I think I know the game inside out way better than code monkeys who developed this trash, I know the place of every crate on the map, every spawn point in all missions, every route for elite patrols, I even know when and where the birds will fly over, yet I'm constantly under fire from behind due to instant enemy spawning from thin air 10 meters away in the same split second I'm engaging an activity, despite the fact I was there 3 seconds ago,
it's really annoying given this game could have been the best game ever, in terms of graphics, mechanics, physics, until someone decided that it's a good idea to mess up completely the combat and related scripts

[ebon steeple]

besides the day 1 stutters they fixed this games performed better for me than how the game was over 6 months ago

[shy musk]

that would be so cool unironically

[still temple]

Bardon Schaeffer is still in coma in hospital, right? 😉

it wouldn't be a surprise

[magic crow]

91mil on a headshot 121mil on a critical headshot with it haha

[pliant sentinel]

when u finished lab final objective and u hear "an agent has disconnected" 7 times

[winged saddle]

I just beat the game

It's so fun lol

[magic crow]

They got alex!

[scenic linden]

ive been getting this weird issue, the game is very whitescaled no matter what i try, tried the newest and even some older drivers. idfk what to do cause its near unplayable this way

[winged saddle]

Lol I'm starting my playthrough on D1 now Im scared to hear that

I really can't wait for the heartlands. I can't get enough of these games lol

[magic crow]

ive loved division ever since day of release

been playing it w my dad back then

[still temple]

deactivate HDR in game or in driver, or even in both

[winged saddle]

I first played it when it was on Xbox live gold, years ago and I didn't understand it. I recently re downloaded it and it's just so fun

[scenic linden]

damn, haw simple it can be if you only know

[magic crow]

Agreed

[winged saddle]

It feels weird beating 2 first but I'm playing 1 rn and the feelings difference between the two is really insane

[still temple]

bashed my head against the wall some time ago, so I don't use HDR in this game, it's messed up

[knotty zenith]

Tell me, are all these RPKs the same in terms of DPS, TTK, etc.?

Black Market RPK-74 E
Black Market RPK-74 E Replica
New Reliable - Black Market RPK-74 E
Classic RPK-74
Military RPK-74 M

[hybrid ore]

Replica's are just crafted versions, so there's no difference there.
Named variants are just the base gun but with a "perfect" stat, in this case extra weapon handling.
Normally the difference in items (between Military/Black Market/Classic types) is a slight change in mods or damage or something, but these all appear to be roughly the same, but I'd have to farm some out to know for certain.

[knotty zenith]

thanks...

[hybrid ore]

tl;dr nothing different about the classic/military/black market will make it worse enough to drop it from your build.

[knotty zenith]

need the best RPK 🥹

[hybrid ore]

1% difference in your build will not matter, in fact 10% will likely not even matter.

heck, I use the objectively worse m1-a as my main in the standard red DPS setup and it still hits like a truck.

[toxic flume]

thats a m1-a xD

[hybrid ore]

Stat-wise it's worse, like legitimately worse.
Maybe it was fixed with Resolve, but unlikely as it's incredibly niche.

The kinda "not spoken about" secret in div2 is that you can use a lot to complete your goal, some stuff will do it a lot better, but there's no reason to have an absolutely perfect 100% meta godrolled setup.

[still temple]

with this ”enhanced” Reanimated GE you only need a pistol 😄

that damn green cloud kills everything on the map, including wild life

[hybrid ore]

and also Execution hostages.

[undone timber]

^ as long as you're not doing something like an incursion there's a fair bit of flexibility in what you run

[hybrid ore]

Eh, I mean even then to a long extent.
Like, there's no reason you need to run the absolute top meta of an AR in an Incursion on your Striker build, as long as it is "good enough" to work with it.
E.g. currently it's what, the f2000? You can easily still run a police m4/famas/ak-m/any of the top ones.

Naval is right though, you need to be contributing to the group and not being carried. So it's not like you could run just anything.

[still temple]

Incursion is a DPS check mission, like raids used to be (still are), if you don't have the best gear in there you could ruin the team work

[kindred stream]

How many ironworks base materials does each boss drop in the raid?

[hybrid ore]

The old meta wasn't nerfed, you can still run it to the same effect. The new meta is just stronger.

[toxic flume]

as long its not ninja BP its good build

[hybrid ore]

I'm talking about running meta setups with less than 100% perfect guns, not running terrible builds.

[still temple]

new meta? it's anything there stronger than 4x Striker, Coyote and Grupo with Ouroboros? I'm asking because I didn't touch Incursion in a while 👍

[toxic flume]

does clutch work with incoming repairs?

[magic crow]

that is awesome same username lmao

[undone timber]

The gear hasn't changed but the weapons have been slightly shaken up

[shy prism]

So now that I have all the gear I want do I just optimize and keep merkin everything

[lime fulcrum]

when people obsessed with numbers 0.1% difference will matter to them 😅

[opal nebula]

where do i report hackers with solid video evidence

[hybrid ore]

Send in a support ticket to ubisoft via the link over in #unofficial-troubleshooting > 📌.

[hybrid ore]

What's funny about it?

[magic crow]

i think its nice never seen sm1 w it before

[serene elk]

I was doing hunter masks and I noticed that my 4 hunters at the same time are reviving after I kill them

is this supposed to happen?

I got all 4 of them once and they dropped the masks but I didn't get the key and I died to the first one I killed

and reanimated is off

[still temple]

rescued hostage died in front of me just after encounter ends, before talk to him to gain reward 🤣

not game breaking at all 😐

instead, in the rescue operation activity the hostage inside the room is still alive after encounter ends, even if there are a lot of green clouds in proximity

[coral citrus]

Well tbf those aren't exactly meant to damage friendlies I believe (working as intended)

[random quest]

It's because the hostages in public executions are coded to be able to take damage, rescue operation are not.
Whether the reanimated cloud is supposed to damage the hostages, I don't know. But it's more an annoyance than game breaking. Engage, let the hostages and npc's split up and kill them.

[still temple]

this never happened before, the green cloud DIDN'T damage the friendlies until now

they are masters of breaking working things

[random quest]

I'm pretty sure I've read people mention it did damage before, but they just never died from it - which is because the cloud is now triple in size and does 1.5x damage of before.

[midnight salmon]

we have 2 rivens now
nice
rivens gang 🎉🎉

[still temple]

could be, but level of damage was very low, almost unnoticeable

[random quest]

cry me a rivens

[magic crow]

rivens!

[random quest]

And not it isn't, because the clouds are way bigger and deal more damage. In any case, it can be played around.

[magic crow]

any tips to getting EB in dz?

[blissful jungle]

What item is grupo? Chest? And is it with obliterate? I’ve seen diff striker build videos but I haven’t seen this one yet that everyone keeps referencing.

[still temple]

I know, I'm doing it, but sometimes it happens to kill a hostile with headshot involuntarily

[random quest]

sacrifice a lamb to lootcifer

[magic crow]

it shall be done

[random quest]

Striker build in the spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice

[still temple]

4x Striker (backpack and chest included), Coyote, holster Grupo

[blissful jungle]

Thank you both

[random quest]

Only use Striker Chest if you can keep 150+ stacks otherwise use a Ceska chest with Obliterate

[blissful jungle]

Gotcha! Thanks for the tip!

[still temple]

with ACS-12 in the start and Ouroboros afterwards is quite easy to maintain stacks

it's a little bit tricky but manageable

instead, for beginners will come more in handy with Obliterate, indeed

[full zinc]

Plus oblit reaches peak before striker 100 stacks.
Striker chest is mid if you dont have tanky enough opponents.
Outside of raid/incursion/possibly cd hunters I would not reccomend

[azure hamlet]

Hey everyone, recently joined the game. Is there any advice you can give regarding the best way to lvl to 1000 SHD ? Many guides and YouTube content seems a bit outdated or patched. Thx in advance.

[random quest]

It's a boring advice but don't rush it. Division 2 is a marathon, not a sprint. Unless your goal is to PvP, you don't need 1000 SHD.

[azure hamlet]

Thought the stats were usefull. Tried daily legendary Roosevelt island and just can't advance. Probably using a bad set aswell, Rigger atm.

[random quest]

The stats are nice to have, not need to have.
It goes like this with regards to power:

1. The correct pieces for a build - with correct talent (look it up in the pinned sheets in #td2-build-advice )
2. The correct rolls - not perfect - on all pieces.
3. Perfect rolls
4. 1000 SHD
5. Expertise

Outside of that, experience and knowledge is what will keep you alive.
I'm no "god gamer" at division 2, but I cleared legendary DUA at around 500SHD - because I followed that power list.

[azure hamlet]

Thx a lot for your feedback

[random quest]

You're welcome! I'm still working my way to 1000SHD, just enjoying the game at a slow pace. It will be nice, don't get me wrong, you can change rolls around - but that's minmaxing and you don't need that to run heroic with a good build.
Rigger isn't the best afaik. The "go-to" build here in the start is a striker's build - there's one in the sheets aswell.

#ask-td2-community message
Here's the exp breakdown

If you want to sprint, you wanna focus on public executions on the highest difficulty and maximum directives you can handle - but enjoy, have fun. People didn't play this for thousands of hours by sprinting ^^

[azure lintel]

you've gotta be kidding me xD
after 3 days of no playing i just buy an exo cache from the global events vendor cuz i had some left and didnt want them to go to waste and what do i get?
memento xD

[gusty hull]

best exotic in game

[kind veldt]

Clear and empty mind is the secret to farming

[cinder oasis]

When did they change the recalibration library thing layout?

Swear it used to just be 4 sections now its 3

[hybrid ore]

Update 20.

so, recently.

[full details](#patch-notes message).

[cinder oasis]

Ty

[rain hedge]

So did they do project resolve yet or

[hybrid ore]

Read 2 messages up.

[rain hedge]

I’m so glad conflict was worked on

[hybrid ore]

Lotsa good stuff, Projects in particular are very nice now.

[rain hedge]

I will wait to play it though because there is still some issues i’ve been having, which is standard for new season launches

[undone timber]

Sweet exo components

[cinder oasis]

Whats best specialisation for skill build?

[rain hedge]

technician i guess

[warm raft]

Is the game randomly crashing on PC a thing ?

[rain hedge]

Yeah

[hybrid ore]

The reports are fairly scattered though, I've not had it happen even once.

[rain hedge]

for me, it happens usually when a new season launched, along with other issues, but after a week or so its fine

[hybrid ore]

tech is good yeah, but it depends on your build. Like, demo is required if you're going for an artillery turret.

[full zinc]

What skills

Personally since I'm usually at 6 skill tiers I dont use tech. For turret/drone I'll use gunner for the aok.

Something like eclipse status survivalist/firewall good.

[cinder oasis]

@full zinc turret and drone

[full zinc]

Ok yeah if already tier 6 , gunner is solid. I also run pfe mods since haste/skill duration not really needed

[cinder oasis]

Pfe?

@hybrid ore @hybrid ore what fo u think tech or gunner

[full zinc]

Protection from elites (yellow bar enemies)

[undone timber]

Specialization completely depends on your build and what you're planning to do with it

There's not really a "best" spec

[cinder oasis]

What do u put on ur pieces? Skill tier, skill dmg and haste? @full zinc

[full zinc]

Yeah exactly

[cinder oasis]

Skill build with turret/drone for

[undone timber]

You'll want technician then

And spec into the skill damage

[full zinc]

At skilltier 6?

Bearly any gain

[random quest]

Again, there's really no "best". The guides in the sheets are really well written and have several recommendations

[undone timber]

Just depends on what you want

[cinder oasis]

So gunner is best @full zinc

[random quest]

[still temple]

Gunner is best spec for solo, given doesn't offer anything for group, maybe paired with some gear which give AoK

[full zinc]

For me, yes. There not a lot the other specs do for turret/drone.
The aok is nice, and if someone is running pistolero you'll be generating ammo for yourself and the team

[undone timber]

You could argue best for any spec

[full zinc]

I also have cap and an insync mop (another 10% aok) on the version I use

[hybrid ore]

I'm a fan of Sharpshooter, for the 10% HSD buff to teammates since you can hide like a coward in the back.

[opal radish]

Well the armour and ammo regen is very good

[still temple]

depending on what build you're using at the time

[undone timber]

Well yeah

[opal radish]

Sharpshooter is for sniper mostly

Or if you want access to tac50

[full zinc]

Its about turret drone. If I dont need the skilltier then the 10sd doesnt do a lot when the build is stacked with sd

[undone timber]

I ran into peeps on the incursion the other day talking about how gunner is trash and nobody uses it and decided not to object to save my braincells

[opal radish]

511 IQ saying it is trash is just shows their iq

No spec is trash each spec has its strong point

[full zinc]

90% of the time if I'm using tech it's on a memento dps build where I take advantage of a skill core/artificer/shield

[still temple]

again, for group Gunner is useless, for solo is the best, especially on DPS builds

[hybrid ore]

Did you really just try to explain to me what the sharpshooter spec is for?

[opal radish]

That is wrong tbh it depends on the mission or priority

[opal radish]

No

For example souless and raucey were doing incursion duo and were using gunner for tanker

[undone timber]

I heard about some guy running heartbreaker as a facetank set

[still temple]

Gunner doesn't offer any synergy with the group

[hybrid ore]

okay?

[full zinc]

Offers ammo. And offers you rof boost which indirectly helps the group by bumping up your dps

[undone timber]

DPS best support role

[full zinc]

Yes

[undone timber]

Kill everything before it kills your team

[still temple]

too little ammo, especially when others are using high rpm weapons

[full zinc]

Hey if pistolero is active little is better than none

[opal radish]

Also pistelero people run gunner on HC character even In Group

[hybrid ore]

I'm honestly wondering how it's possible to actually run out of ammo without factoring in Directives, outside of trying to solo use the acs or something.

[still temple]

when Pistolero is active the whole group areusing pistols until they gain enough ammo for using high rpm weapons, no one waits for Gunner to gain ammo

[opal radish]

Solo legendary

[hybrid ore]

Div1 I get, that was actually semi-rare.
but div2, with the ammo box flood?

[full zinc]

🤣 you obv dont matchmake a lot

[undone timber]

I raise you the matchmaking experience

[still temple]

if you are waiting for Gunner to gain ammo in a mission... well, good luck with that 😄

[hybrid ore]

As deck' said, it's passive. it's a background bonus.
Let's face it, a lot of the side bonuses for Spec Tree's kinda suck.

[full zinc]

I love when simple conversations veer way off course from where they started.

[still temple]

honestly, I'm not, I preffer to play with my clan mates, not with randoms, for my mental sanity 😄

[undone timber]

As long as one person is killing shit with a pistol I'm pretty sure it drops ammo for the party

[coral citrus]

Couldn't be me, I matchmake purely because randoms make missions go by faster lol

[undone timber]

Gunner is an added bonus

[undone timber]

They can make them go faster or slower depending on how good they are

If you get Garbo teammates the scaling can get rough

[full zinc]

Personally I think survivalist is the most useful in general. Shared med kits. Damage to status. Free healer ball that goes to anyone without direction.

I do like gunner on my skill build for the reasons I kinda already stated

[coral citrus]

My build pretty much takes all aggro so even garbo teammates are bound to get something done on my end lol

[full zinc]

Must be nego

[coral citrus]

The only downside is the amounts of screen shaking from the back of my head getting shot by said teammates lmfao

[full zinc]

Please dont say it foundry build 😭

[undone timber]

To be fair I do see tank builds occasionally show up in MM and block everybody's shot without fail

[coral citrus]

It's actually a striker build, but I also sometimes switch to heartbreaker

[undone timber]

I see way too many these days

[full zinc]

Ok, yeah damage builds the only ones that grab aggro like that

[coral citrus]

I've never been drawn in by the pure tank build from foundry lol

[still temple]

sometimes, when I matchmake is just for having living decoys near me, so I can do my job 😄

[coral citrus]

I'd say it's pretty tanky since well, I switched out a lot of of the core atts from strikers to defense for the tank, but with the help of a shotgun and liberty, Im not just standing around like a doofus

[full zinc]

When I first started using nego it kinda surprised me. But it was from dealing 3x damage. All aggro all the time 🤣

[undone timber]

Aegis could never

[full zinc]

Aegis doesnt exist in my mind

[still temple]

my daily build is ND, Fenris (Glass Cannon) and Fox's, from the beginning of the game

[coral citrus]

I've never really done nego either, I've thought about it but my brain is so rotted that I want my numbers to keep going up so I stuck with striker and heartbreaker lol

[full zinc]

Nd is 😍

[undone timber]

Rightly so

[full zinc]

So striker elmo hitting somewhere around 1.2m

Nd elmo hitting somewhere around 700k. On 3 marks that 700kcrit is 2.1m damage

[opal radish]

Also it can kill target in Co er deal headshot dmg to dogs and wut not

[full zinc]

Nego out damages striker with 2-3 marks

[undone timber]

When you get that crit damage rolling too it does not mess about

[coral citrus]

Tru, but the thing is so many core atts are changed to defense, I don't use st elmos since someone else is bound to be using it, so I first get stacks with a lefty, then pull out the liberty lol

[opal radish]

You don't need blue core on nego

[undone timber]

Saint Elmo's doesn't get worse if you have more people running it

[coral citrus]

Im hitting over 3m with full stacks of strikers and full stacks of liberty

[full zinc]

Striker best with really tanks bosses tho 💯

[undone timber]

That sounds off

You sure you don't mean blb

[full zinc]

Liberty gets 60% wd at full stacks

[undone timber]

That shit stays after you swap off?

[full zinc]

Blb doesn't buff itself

[opal radish]

You can't hit headshot if you are keep max stack at liberty

[opal radish]

Nope

[coral citrus]

I know that lol

[undone timber]

OHHHH you're using liberty

I thought man was hitting 3mil on elmo

[coral citrus]

I only go for headshot when I see my shield about to drop

[full zinc]

Oh 😂

[sand herald]

God.... this game is so annoying you hit Z on the event and the menu is blank and won't let you get back to game.........

[undone timber]

I wonder how much you could hit for on a kingbreaker striker with chest and bag with tech on with close range countermeasure and full blb/striker stacks

[cinder oasis]

@full zinc @still temple so i should go with gunenr over technician

[undone timber]

That's so real

I had that nonsense happen to me today

[full zinc]

👍

[sand herald]

Really annoying to say the least ^^

[full zinc]

Back to work for me. GG

[still temple]

don't use the overlay command, use the classic menu: Esc - Season etc

[opal radish]

I wonder that with Model 700 max chainkiller

And achilles

[sand herald]

Yeah i know i was doing a challenge and i just hit Z to quickly find out ended up taking 20x longer lmao 😄

[undone timber]

511 million damage

[opal radish]

Let me try that in range

[still temple]

shooting range is bugged sometimes, showing some absurd numbers, better go outside and test

[undone timber]

What's an outside

[still temple]

open world

[coral citrus]

Never heard of that

[cinder oasis]

Can u explain the thought process behind it?

[undone timber]

^

[coral citrus]

One is a cool minigun and the other is a cool launcher, both you might hardly use

[undone timber]

I don't think anybody actually uses spec weapons bar the xbow and the tac50

Mostly for the bonuses and the grenades

[coral citrus]

Sounds about right

[kind veldt]

As someone who spent too much time with tips i can say no spec weapon is truly great

They work, just not great some few niches uses like exotics

[still temple]

some perks are misplaced in wrong specs, if you ask me 😄

[kind veldt]

Such as ?

[still temple]

Outgoing Healing should be in Technician spec, since there is a perk related to heal

Extra Armor from Sharpshooter should be in Gunner spec

10% skill haste from Suvrivalist should be in Technician spec

and so on, I'm currently not in BOO, quoted from memory

[sullen viper]

sab just shows how good td2 is

[silent ocean]

Can you no longer buy The Recruiters outfit in the apparel store?

[full zinc]

Skill kills proc the 10% armor on kill. Skill is pretty squishy especially if you maximize and use glass cannon.

I use mop named shotgun with insync. It also has 10% aok that is procced by skill kills.

You'll constantly gain armor as long as stuff is dying.

I use protection from elite to further mitigate incoming damage but mods or more preference. Some stack haste or even crit chance when they man capacitor.

[full zinc]

No

Not available

[random quest]

I love clearing 3 floors in a row with the regulus only - literally never equipped anything but it - and only getting 1 floor on the sidearm only

This game is just out to annoy me today

[still temple]

you know what's really annoying? we have literally tons of fuel everywhere but not a single working car 🤣

[random quest]

We have no use for driving in the division

[still temple]

actually we could use some kind of boogies, Mad Max style 🤣

[opal radish]

We could use a skateboard

[random quest]

Bicycles! 2 person ones even

[opal radish]

Need jet packs

[still temple]

equipped with wings, in case you're running out of fuel, just glide

[ionic stump]

on PC, I just either hold the ESC key or continuously press the ESC key, cant remember which helps, maybe both. Try it with the button for ESC on consoles.

[random quest]

iirc it's holding that helps

[random quest]

I could annoyingly see mountain bikes somewhat work for the environment we are in, but on the other hand I ain't jumping off a mountain bike while being engaged by a stupid warhound

[uncut scroll]

Are the servers available?

[wet mirage]

I like that we are forced to walk, vehicles always make a world feel smaller

[sullen viper]

do you guys think the division 3 will be good despite the recently released ubisoft games

[kind veldt]

more that map size is small enough to walk, too many small alleyways, junk on the road as cover and so on

different studios

we dont even know what studio/team will be handling div3

[sullen viper]

what i like about the Division 2 are the factions

and the cover based shooter plays really well enemies flank you and try to flush you out

[astral jacinth]

I like doing the same thing to npcs

I like to rush to the npc taking cover, then take cover right next to them, AI forces them to pop out of it and try to melee my 3 million bonus armor

[sullen viper]

i think as a lootershooter the division 2 is 100% better in some aspects than destiny 2, i think they just need to continue like they have been and add maybe better movement with jumping and a more free cover system

[distant quest]

there is 0 reason to jump especially since we can't mantle

[sullen viper]

right so for the next game m8

jumping could add a way for jumping puzzles, more interesting movement for pvp and more interesting level design

[kind veldt]

well heatlands will have more movement, we can see what works there and hopefully it becomes a base feature

many people for crouching nad lying down, when there is no reason to do it here since game just use cover shooting 101 very well and no stealth

[hazy wind]

question is match making so bad in division 2 for new players? Im lvl 21 and when i get into missions nobody joins

[kind veldt]

from 1-30 is pretty empty, better use call for backup since other players cna join

[toxic flume]

most people is on wony DLC. thats why pre wony story is dead

[kind veldt]

it's one of those games that everyone is endgame

[toxic flume]

^

[hazy wind]

how can i do thta?

call for backup?

[toxic flume]

beat the main story and unlock new york and beat new york also

wony is also a DLC

[hybrid ore]

Escape > Social > press up > "call for backup".
you need to re-call each time someone joins.

[hazy wind]

Thank You mate

[hybrid ore]

Actually the bulk of players are past the DLC (WONY), which is only a few hours long.

[random quest]

Alternatively, open map, don't have anything highlighted and press G to call for backup.

[hazy wind]

Thank you mate

[toxic flume]

as i mean lvl 40 xD

wony is endgame of Div2

[hybrid ore]

Nope, WONY is the intro to ghe endgame, After WONY is the "endgame", although that term doesn't actually mean anything and it's just a thing people like to say.

[shrewd oak]

How much time does the support have to write back to me after starting a case? I've lost my backup character and I want to restore it again and I've been waiting for a response for a week now 😄

[hazy wind]

keep tweeting them on twitter

its faster

[hybrid ore]

It is absolutely not, they confirmed this via the livestream.

use the support ticket, they said that's the best way to contact them.

[shrewd oak]

@hybrid ore I took advantage of the application and I've been waiting for 7 days now 😄

[hybrid ore]

You took advantage of an application?

tmi

[shrewd oak]

@hazy wind I can ask you for a link ?

[hazy wind]

just search ubisoft on twitter

[random quest]

I wanted to offer an explanation as to why this might get you players joining and matchmaking does not - this goes for missions in general at all levels.
Matchmaking is as it says - making a match. You're looking for people who at the time of search is looking for the same mission as you, on the same difficulty as you.
Backup goes out to a much wider subset of people. Asking for backup in Washington goes out to a large amount of people, doesn't matter what level, difficulty or mission.

[hybrid ore]

When you say "lost" what exactly do you mean?

If you mean accidentally deleted, they are able to restore it.
If you mean a HC character, it's almost certainly gone.

[shrewd oak]

@hybrid ore How do I tweet to them?

Regular character I don't play HC

[hybrid ore]

I've already told you to not bother with a tweet and to send in a support ticket. Check if it's still open and if it is, give it some more time before trying again.
if it's not, then that's a separate issue.

You can try with a tweet, but I very much doubt it'll solve anything.

[shrewd oak]

I sent the application a few days ago and it is still in progress, but they haven't written anything back so far

[random quest]

Few days or 7 days? also, how many work days? sounds like you need to equip yourself with a bit of patience for a week or two

[celest sage]

Thank god I found a group with console players

[sand herald]

Is it because a new patch or has the cheating scean got worse? always at least 3 of them in DZ's each day and don't get me started on match making 😕

How many armor kits does Keener have?

Honestly, seems like he has 6 from the Challenging run I tried

[sullen viper]

is there a yter that does good build guids I completely went into one direction and now i wanna switch it up

[zinc flint]

hy and hello

[hybrid ore]

hey.
@sullen viper Raucey, IKia are pretty much it for "good" div2 youtubers for build guides, the problem with a lot of them is that div2 is very math heavy so one small mistake can snowball.
The two I mentioned are also on here fairly regularly (the former more than the latter) so you can ask them in person if you see them.

There might be a few others but I'm sure if I don't mention them someone else will.

[sullen viper]

yes the math is what i wanna skip 😂

i wanna center my build around a certain exotic weapon cause its just so fun to use

[hybrid ore]

This might not be the right game for you lol.
In all seriousness, if you just want a picture of the build and a few listed choices, the spreadsheet that's 📌 pinned over in #td2-build-advice has a builds section and Raucey makes most of those too.

which Exotic is it, and is it the Elmo?

[sullen viper]

pestilence

i wanna spread the plague

[sullen viper]

no the issue is really that the division 2 doesent really tell the player how much better there build is before and after changing something, while its nice that...

Number go up

i acctually care more about playing than looking at spreadsheets

[hybrid ore]

It absolutely does if you know what you're looking at, and your stats page tells you the exact % of them too.

div2 is not a CoD, you can't just slap on whatever and succeed. It's just not that kind of game.

[sullen viper]

learning curve very tough im max level going for the paragon equivalent of the game rn but i dont understand all the mechanics

[hybrid ore]

What is your current level?

[sullen viper]

Shd is 63

im doing legendary missions

build is working ok but i feel like it could be better

[hybrid ore]

That just broke my brain a little.
Did you transfer from another platform?

[sullen viper]

no

[sand herald]

Ooof

[sullen viper]

what?

[hybrid ore]

SHD 63 means you basically just got out of NYC. The stats stop at SHD 1k, the bonuses for it stop at SHD 2k.

Your journey has only just begun.

[sullen viper]

i know

[hybrid ore]

You should not be doing Legendary missions at your level and trying to sprint to the finish, or paragon which I'm still not clear what that means.

[sullen viper]

well paragon is the diablo equivalent of shd levels

and i just didnt know the name

[hybrid ore]

Just take your time, take it slow. Div2 is a marathon game, not a sprint.

it'll still be here in a year.

[cinder oasis]

Anyone know if any of the vendors have a shotgun for sale?

[kind veldt]

and if you think it's confusing, believe there are some truly confusing games out there

[hybrid ore]

https://rubenalamina.mx/the-division-weekly-vendor-reset/
pin that, it gets updated just after reset, sometimes takes a day or so.

[sullen viper]

the biggest issue i have with division 2 rn is that not alot of people seem to be playing on xbox

[random quest]

Paragon is a name often used about "endgame" levelling power systems like SHD.
I'd say though, if you aren't struggling in legendary, have fun with that challenge. If you're getting your ass kicked, work on builds haha
But yeah, SHD 63, there's no wonder you don't know mechanics. iKia has 10-15K SHD levels and he got his understanding of the game along the way.

If you wanna take that in Diablo terms, especially D3, you either run a build someone else has suggested for the season or you think something fits together but they don't add up. Same for any game with stats. You either play long enough to make your own choices or you learn from those that have.

[cinder oasis]

Where is the theatre @hybrid ore

[hybrid ore]

It's a settlement in DC.

[cinder oasis]

Ty, theyre selling a shotgun n i need 1 for technician stage 1

[sullen viper]

Acctually for what im running rn i took something someone else suggested and just changed it a bit so it suits my playstyle more, but i have been killing myself now too many times with the...chem launcher, specially when its overcharged, no chance 😂

[kind veldt]

legendary was made to throw curveballs at veterans, so it's always harder the first time

[kind mural]

hey a question is there any possible way to play crossplay with pc and ps5

[hybrid ore]

Nope.

no crossplay or crossave.

[kind mural]

ohhh is it comming to the division

[elfin hazel]

nope

[kind mural]

ahhh okay

thats annoying

[sullen viper]

hey really quick so i just bought the div 2 on pc to try it out, but there is a sound bug

ok i got it so apparently dolby atmos makes this weird static sound

switched to dts

[red lion]

So what's this new vendor going to sell?

[kind veldt]

Mostly useful caches like exotics and other rare mats i believe

[covert frost]

Collector, ironlung, shocker punch cannot be obtained anymore right?
can i change attributes for exotic gear?

[elfin hazel]

they can be obtained and yes you can change the third attribute

[covert frost]

how?

[elfin hazel]

chest, LMG & holster targeted loot for the exotics and by reconstructing the exotics on the crafting bench

[covert frost]

says theyre only from the seasonal rewards tho

[elfin hazel]

season exotics go into the general loot pool onced that season is over

[elfin hazel]

however I wouldn't reconstruct them atm until this patch on tuesday as there is currently a bug that could delete the exotic from your inventory

[covert frost]

so ur telling me i can reroll my Tardigrade 3rd stat which is armor regen currently?

• Armor
• Explo
  - Armor regen

[elfin hazel]

yes

[covert frost]

what will it reroll into?

[elfin hazel]

random 3rd talent

[covert frost]

any in the game?
like crit chance, or just blue stats?

[elfin hazel]

I believe any

[toxic flume]

i thought exo weapons is the only ones to roll 3rd attribute

[elfin hazel]

I believe its any exotic

I can check rq

[covert frost]

exotic weapons 3rd attribute is random now

[sand herald]

There is a very unstable situation unfolding very quickly!

[elfin hazel]

ok no it is just weapons NVM NVM

[fast barn]

CC an you still get coyote mask from countdown on hard difficulty? We keep dying on challenging

Fuck man this is so hard to get

[elfin hazel]

you can get it on any difficulty

[fast barn]

But how much less common would it be on hard

Would I be better off grinding JTC on challenging, or CD on hard?

I've done JTC a good 30 times over the last 2 days

Does the exotic cache from CD points take targeted loot into account?

[kind veldt]

Caches are pure random

[fast barn]

Gotcha ok

Do u think JTC on challenging, or CD on hard to farm for coyote?

I can't even find a CD game on hard tbf

Blah

[sand herald]

Well well well

An eagle bearer in the DZ dropped

[kind veldt]

Good luck getting out alive

[sand herald]

Already did 😉 amd shouted it 5seconds before it was complete 😄

Not like i need it tho already got one

[kind veldt]

Gg then

[ivory perch]

is the textile vendor out?

[elfin hazel]

no

[toxic flume]

in the upcoming update, danny the textile vendor will be out along side with cassie when you find her in the map

[fast barn]

Brooooooooo I hate this sm 😭

Just doing JTC over and over and over and now I get DC'd 90% through

I just want this mask man 😭

[random quest]

You'd have a much better chance at getting the mask farming whatever has mask as targeted loot

[reef reef]

just do countdown, its bound give you the mask quicker either through the drops themselves or the exotic caches

[dense saffron]

Countdown on challenging should be better

[fast barn]

I couldn't beat it 😭

Tried twice and we all died at the end lol

[dense saffron]

Rip

[fast barn]

I feel like I should have way more armor and damage for where I'm at but I just don't know how

[dense saffron]

Go with strikers

[random quest]

Post in build-advice if you want tips on how to upgrade until you get the mask, outside of that, keep going, keep queing challenging countdown and you'll learn it. I queue heroic all the time (on pc mind you) and rarely don't extract.

[fast barn]

Yeah I have strikers and st Elmo's engine

Trying to get the coyote mask for the last few days

[dense saffron]

Ic

[random quest]

If you wanna go at your own pace, you could head to summit and set targeted loot to masks. Challenging/Heroic and as many directives as you can. Most important thing is to up difficulty first.

[fast barn]

Yeah I've been running JTC on challenging for like 40x. Switched to heroic now with another directive so hopefully get it soon lmao

[safe wyvern]

Hate clan kids like just let me grind for my eagle bearer in peace

[fast barn]

Tried countdown on challenging but died a few times. Switched to hard and couldn't find a match

[random quest]

Yeah but the thing is JTC only has a chance to drop coyote's on the final boss, anything with targeted loot has a chance to drop it on every targeted loot drop

[dense saffron]

Try summit, I got a coyotes from one with a couple of my clanmates while doing heroic summit

[fast barn]

Yeah ik. I would be doing countdown but we kept dying. Summit I feel like I've never gotten an exotic from

[dense saffron]

Weird

[fast barn]

I hate having to restart from floor 1 every time

[random quest]

wdym?

[fast barn]

In summit

I swore you could start at your highest floor, but last time I played I don't think u could do that

[random quest]

You start at the checkpoint, but I believe matchmaking can shake it up. You can also reset to floor 1 manually at any point.
It's just highly inefficient to farm for coyote's via JTC

[round oar]

Does anyone know how to get the Lost Ellis Memos collectibles?

[fast barn]

Did JCT on heroic with 3 directives and got 2 exotics on one try. Neither were the coyote, though 😅

[random quest]

#ask-td2-community message
Any targeted loot drop has a chance to be an exotic of the targeted loot (masks). JTC only has a chance to give you coyote's from last boss iirc.

[kind veldt]

In really older summit every 10 floors were a new difficulty so you could choose where to start

[minor goblet]

I feel stupid right now.

I accidently went to the new york dlc on my story character

Now I have to restart the entire campaign 🙃

[random quest]

OOF

[minor goblet]

I just got to the part were tusk invades.

[civic ridge]

same, friend does not have warlords yet (somehow) so made a char to keep at 30 with him

[minor goblet]

Well... not me anymore

[crystal copper]

Guys can i get ouroboros from countdown exotic cache?

Any chance or should be paradisse

[random quest]

if it's any consolation you don't miss much in those, what, 5 missions. And you could watch a playthrough of them if you don't want to rerun

[minor goblet]

Yeah but I wanted to see my Johnny silverhand character in those cutscenes lmao.

[kind veldt]

Only incursion

[dense saffron]

Paradise only

[kind veldt]

Stupid lazy question

Does mosquito even have good stats?

[neon charm]

Does targeted loot in summit increase exotics for that type also?

[toxic flume]

it increases the odds of dropping not the % of it

difficulty increases the % of dropping it

[fast barn]

I got the coyote mask

Ayyyeeee

[dense saffron]

Nice

[wet mirage]

welcome to the gang, enjoy having annoying green smoke come out of your side that you can't remove

[olive whale]

qustion on incursion, when do they reset? and I want to make sure you can only get 1 key per week per character?

[bitter wraith]

Status effects are so broken in descent

Honestly might not carry on with it

Like why can a rusher knife me and then a sniper one shot me in half a second with his aimbot

[neon wyvern]

How did you let a elite rusher knife you in the first place

[small spear]

sincerely, problems with hand-eye coordination

[bitter wraith]

Normal one

[undone timber]

I wonder if the descent suits give you a green watch like the sim

[sterile ferry]

nope its orange

[undone timber]

Goddamn it dude

[odd totem]

After 10 years I finally hit expertise 25! 💀

[dire grotto]

with Legacy Manhunt missions more readily available is there any chance for full previous manhunts to be selectable?
It would be nice for the dialogue stuff not to get lost until a replay happens

[undone timber]

Good news, you can now replay manhunt missions and get a comm from each named enemy

Previously it was capped to the final four

[dire grotto]

Yeah, but I missed a BUNCH of the dialogue and stuff because I took a lot of long breaks

I'd love to be able to buy the season passes too that I didn't get. I think I only got the first and second and didn't buy any of the others

[undone timber]

The season passes are long gone but the takeover bounties aren't really anything to write home about

You didn't miss much

[dire grotto]

I don't see why the season passes can't come back. There's a lot of missed cosmetics and exotics

[elfin hazel]

its how battle passes are sadly

I do want the s2 apparel event to come back

they'll eventually go on repeat though

[dire grotto]

lmao doing the Jupiter mission again makes me really hate the EMPs

they're so buggy

god how have they never fixed them since they were put in??
they just hit you randomly even when in cover

[undone timber]

They hit you if they have direct los

[dire grotto]

lmao I'm literally sitting behind cover that worked for like 7 other pulses

[fluid meadow]

Nuh uh

How can you "stay in cover" from an electromagnetic pulse

[elfin hazel]

sometimes I wonder if people in the common areas see my name and go hold awn

I know I've been like that for some people here

[sour void]

Miraculously got 8/10 from Liberty Island Challenge Time Trial with Reanimated on.

Made Keener eat shit from Scorpio

[olive whale]

does incursion resets every sunday?

[elfin hazel]

every monday

[wooden falcon]

It reset today so yes

[olive whale]

thank you

[dire grotto]

So uh... that Stovepipe mission

Did Massive really sit down and try to craft the worst mission they could think of?

[barren tiger]

hmm 60 Crit chance with 141 crit damge or 54 crit chance with 154 crit damage

[dire grotto]

There are no words for how bad this mission was

literally not a single word can be said
they genuinely just crafted every single one of the most hated aspects of this game and crammed them into one mission and threw an unskippable cutscene in just for good measure

[rigid wedge]

yes

[dire grotto]

This message was from before the warhound nonsense btw. I thought that the double-trouble drone fight was the peak of this mission's shenanigans

[slow smelt]

Update, 72-ish hours later: I got a decent talent pool!

[undone timber]

Were you using a skill build or hotshot

[dire grotto]

I was on Normal throwing every possible sticky EMP I could lmao

I didn't have any other gear on me for survivability or skills, so I had to slum it with 700k armor

if I even looked at a patch of fire I would die

[undone timber]

Likely an issue with your build

That and the jammers can be shot

[elfin hazel]

tbf I think for the final fight at least its just bad regardless of build

[undone timber]

The final one sure but everything before it is fine

Dual quadcopters+ striker drones maybe challenging

[neon wyvern]

I think you should get the message of what the mission contains by the first encounter

dealing with dual quadcopters without a dps build must suck

[dire grotto]

I mean I know that but it doesn't change the fact that it's annoying. I think there was only one jammer that couldn't be shot because there wasn't an angle on it, but I wasn't dying until the very end when I would spawn in and immediately eat 50 airburst grenades before I could even move. It's an issue with the build in the sense that I'm running a build designed for fighting people and not a mission that's just BTSU machines.

[neon wyvern]

sounds like a headhunter build

[dire grotto]

it is

[undone timber]

BREH

[neon wyvern]

why were you running that

[dire grotto]

because I didn't know that this mission would be literal AIDS lmao

I've never played it before

[neon wyvern]

you should've gotten the message by the first encounter

[undone timber]

It does state somewhere in the dialogue that its all robotics

[neon wyvern]

don't tell me you were just shooting 2 marauders with a pistol/mmr for 4 hours lmao

[dire grotto]

99.999999% of the game is all fleshy dudes which I can handle
Even when a robotic enemy shows up Headhunter kills it

[undone timber]

[undone timber]

Pretty much this

[dire grotto]

okay cool, that doesn't change the fact that I don't have any other builds lmao

because there isn't any other mission in this entire game that's only robotic enemies

[neon wyvern]

Well don't play the mission then

[undone timber]

Brother run strikers

[dire grotto]

cool, what a fuckin amazing piece of advice

[undone timber]

Literal master key

[neon wyvern]

Making a dps build today is as easy as ever

[dire grotto]

I would if I had one

[undone timber]

It is

[undone timber]

Go get one its super easy these days

[dire grotto]

Why would I? Sniping is more fun

[neon wyvern]

Just run 1 challenging countdown match 8/10 times you'll have a full 4pc striker set

[undone timber]

You just said the mission was aids with a headhunter build?

[dire grotto]

And I still beat it

[neon wyvern]

on normal

[undone timber]

You cant run headhunter just anywhere

[dire grotto]

I kinda can lmao

[undone timber]

Bruh

[dire grotto]

I run Headhunter solo Heroic for pretty much everything

[undone timber]

Try bringing it to an incursion

Or stovepipe

[dire grotto]

I would if I could matchmake into one lmao

[neon wyvern]

Or countdown

[undone timber]

That too

[dire grotto]

I've brought it to Countdown

[neon wyvern]

heroic countdown*

[undone timber]

Its just how the game is certain builds are gonna do things better

[dire grotto]

That's what I said

[neon wyvern]

forgot challenging countdown can be soloed

[undone timber]

The closest thing to that is strikers
