[frosty wadi]

Pretty sure the exotic isn’t for certain a god roll

The other caches are for certain

[broken beacon]

uhm is there a guide for control point? need to farm stuff from lv 3 alert

[undone timber]

Do that then

Set global difficulty to challenging

[hybrid ore]

enjoy! https://rubenalamina.mx/the-division-weekly-vendor-reset/

[frosty wadi]

I just went through old div 2 pictures of hunters and have been playing the campaign once again from the beginning
They deadass just reused assets to make the visual appearance of the recent brand set and didn’t even give it unique colors

At least the gloves and chest are 100% reused

[quick jasper]

recycling is good for hte planet

[hybrid ore]

Honestly, and I say this as nice as possible, who cares?

[frosty wadi]

I have no issue with it on the fact that they are good looking, but its not good when the new content is already lazy

[quick jasper]

I noticed on the GR9 LMG, when you reload you dont take out the ammo box on the gun, you just insert a magazine where the ammo box is

[frosty wadi]

A lot of weapon skins still have that full glossy texture still

Including Dread

[quick jasper]

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/firearmcentral/images/d/d6/HK_GR9S.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20190625082556 oh the GR9 is a real gun

they even got hte 3 holes on the stock

[frosty wadi]

I don’t believe a single gun in division 2 is made up

[quick jasper]

thats very cool i dont know a lot about guns

[real creek]

Yeah almost everything is based in reality. Exotics might be pushing it tho.

[frosty wadi]

Exotics push it yea

[cobalt forge]

most of the guns in the game should be based off the real model while the exotics are like imaginery weapons

[quick jasper]

is the in real life GR9 meant ot be used for super long range engagements? its weird that it has a scope built in

[frosty wadi]

Half the exotics are fine honestly

[frosty wadi]

Whats the gun class again?

[quick jasper]

GR9 LMG?

[urban shuttle]

appreciate that man

[frosty wadi]

No idea why it has a scope automatically on it probably just ubi being lazy or something

[quick jasper]

the real life one has one too!

i thought the recoil would make the scope useless but maybe not?

[frosty wadi]

Nobody in real life uses a gun willingly without a scope

Only sidearms are that exception

[quick jasper]

and it doesnt even zoom in in the game, its just.. there

what a strange weapon! very stable and accurate though

[frosty wadi]

^

There was 1 or 2 seasons where a lot of new weapons and weapon skins were just blatantly lazily designed

[hybrid ore]

ya know, not everything is the "devs being lazy".

[frosty wadi]

Considering that a lot of skins and an exotic still haven’t gotten updated textures since they released over 6 months ago

Its a valid criticism

[hybrid ore]

They only redesign the exotics that they think need it, clearly.
which are you talking about?

[frosty wadi]

Dread edict, and multiple weapon skins have full glossy appearances, which is clearly not intended considering they removed it from bluescreen when its model was updated, also literally nothing about dread is unique visually, it’s literally just a placeholder skin

[hybrid ore]

Dread Edict looks fine.

[neon wyvern]

dread edict only looked bad after they added the scope

solution: remove scope

[frosty wadi]

Look at it in game because you are capping so unbelievable hard

[hybrid ore]

Oh just stop.

[magic atlas]

I also think it looks fine

[neon wyvern]

ful stop

[hybrid ore]

I literally am looking at it ingame right now and whilst it's not super "exotic", it doesnt look bad.

[frosty wadi]

All you do is defend so when there is an actual reason to be upset you pretend like its fine

Its textures are quite literally messed up and the devs have previously fixed this exact problem

Not to mention this last patch also broke the cabine 7 skin and made it entirely mat black

[neon wyvern]

hopefully white and pastel yellow mmrs that you rarely use isn't in the "actual reason to be upset" category

[hybrid ore]

"all you do is defend".
Jeez.

[neon wyvern]

I want shield splinters gold back tho

now that's an ugly gun

[frosty wadi]

The devs are lazy, all the new content is lazy, the only reason this season is remotely good is because of the rebalancing

[hybrid ore]

If all you have are problems with the game and all you do is complain, why not leave? You're clearly not having fun.

[frosty wadi]

If project resolve wasn’t released this season how do you think people would actually react

[hybrid ore]

And don't say "because i believe in this game" or I win $5.

[neon wyvern]

if devs add difficulty selector back to classified I forever forgive them

[cobalt forge]

lol elmo

[frosty wadi]

How dense are you? I play the game because I enjoy the gameplay, I make criticisms because of multiple mistakes that the devs blatantly make on a regular basis then wait months to fix

[hybrid ore]

Drop the attitude. Critical discussions are 100% fine, but you are moving towards insults.

[frosty wadi]

How about make actual critical discussions then

[hybrid ore]

there is no point when you are talking to someone who has done nothing but insult the game, insult people's choices and insult people's opinions.
go take a lap, you're getting over heated.

[frosty wadi]

One of these days people are going to realize how lazy the devs have been, its already started for a while because of the new content

[neon wyvern]

[frosty wadi]

Ive said it before and I said it again, the devs are too focused on making new content

[hybrid ore]

Rule 11, blinder. Quit complaing for 5 minutes and drink some water.

[frosty wadi]

They don’t stop to think if that content is actually good

[cobalt forge]

my guy calm tf down

[quick jasper]

are there any good b uilds with merciless?

[hybrid ore]

It's actually a lot of fun with Striker.

[quick jasper]

ooh neat is hould try it out

i remember back before the expansion, merciless was jsut amazing

[neon wyvern]

and it doesn't do 2 billion damage anymore

[hybrid ore]

It's not like, good-good, but it's fun.

[neon wyvern]

[hybrid ore]

Note: i also enjoy BK Striker, so ymmv.

[cobalt forge]

capacitor with with all skill builds goes hard

i just did one thats exuro and that hits

[balmy cedar]

I don’t disagree but it’s not universal to all rifles since some don’t have the underbarrel. Behind you is an alternative but it needs more of a buff since it’s literally just flatline without amp damage

The cool thing with behind you is much like Ranger it’s active all the time. It should show you which enemy is not targetting you tho with a highlight.

[small spear]

it is still amp

both are amp

[balmy cedar]

are they the same kind of amp!

[small spear]

yes

the exact same

[balmy cedar]

Poor wording then on the talents part. My bad

I still don’t think 15% is enough tho. I feel like 25% would be great

[small spear]

25% would make it top tier

unbalanced even

[balmy cedar]

Is there a reason they nerfed the stacks to status damage talents

[small spear]

it'd be as strong as perfect sadist and ignited lol

[balmy cedar]

Yea but I was specifically talking about rifles and the inconsistency of talents etc. because rifles and enemy types vary do does time to kill. I don’t think you’re able to get the same type of use out of sadist on an M1A that you can out of a famas but that’s just me talking shit I suppose

[kind veldt]

closest one is chameleon prob

huh guess chat refreshed after i sent this

[magic atlas]

I never liked chameleon

[balmy cedar]

It’s pretty cool in countdown with the buffs

[kind veldt]

yeah no it's out of context

[small spear]

you definitely can with an OD user

but my point is 25% for a normal talent is too strong because that's what perfect talents have

[balmy cedar]

True but I rarely see that outside of countdown

[kind veldt]

become the OD user

become the bleeding menace

[balmy cedar]

I had figured so but my fault was focusing on the number itself

15 compared to 25 lol

[small spear]

15% is already top tier

[kind veldt]

well enemy targetting you is harder to quantify

[small spear]

for a talent that's easy to proc like behind you and flatline, 15% can be argued to be too strong

[neon wyvern]

flatline comes at the cost of spec and a gun mod

[small spear]

when strained and the gang amount to around 10%

[balmy cedar]

I get that lol I’m just saying lol I was paying more attention to the number at face value

[kind veldt]

flatline is close to free with technician

[neon wyvern]

definitely ain't too strong

[balmy cedar]

Like 15 is closer to 10 than it is to 25 type of thing lol

[neon wyvern]

free at the cost of a spec

that spec being gunner

[balmy cedar]

Anyways I just wanted it to have more significance than flatline is all

[cobalt forge]

i saw the talent for the exotic pistol mosquito and its a weird one to me

[balmy cedar]

You like gunner?

[neon wyvern]

most people do

most people should*

[small spear]

i like gunner

[balmy cedar]

It’s nice to force hunters onto the dude using the drone 😂

[cobalt forge]

lmao

i like technician

[balmy cedar]

I like it too but I see most people running technician

It’s my most used spec

[neon wyvern]

they just look at "free skill tier omg" and nothing else

[small spear]

but i can see gunner use dropping a bit due to palisade

[balmy cedar]

Only complaint is foam nades don’t trigger sledgehammer

[small spear]

i'm just gonna do firewall + palisade and all is well with the world

[kind veldt]

Well technician gets free skill tier that lots of people like

[limpid kindle]

so, when the dragov's outfit is out, what rogue agent's outfit will be?
Kajika, Pharnell, Conley or Keener?

[balmy cedar]

The one benefit of technician for me really when running rifle builds is extra damage to skills and mechs

[cobalt forge]

i tend to use a heartbreaker build in open world so i have technician for the linked laser pointer

[neon wyvern]

but my brand set bonuses👴

[small spear]

10% chc for 11% amp

[neon wyvern]

I needge them

[small spear]

ez choice

[neon wyvern]

15% chc cuz gun mod

[small spear]

no you trade ceska

oh you mean going from tech

[neon wyvern]

ye if we still on flatline tech thing

gotta give up ur 5% crit pointer for pulse pointer

[balmy cedar]

But yea is there a reason they nerfed the stacking kills to get status effects on eyeless, sadist etc?

[hybrid ore]

It's likely a rotation, so the old one should be gone at that point.

[small spear]

oh nah i meant going from gunner to firewall + palisade

[balmy cedar]

Cause that seems overkill

[neon wyvern]

bruh

[small spear]

i don't even know

[neon wyvern]

I wish we could have banshee pulse and striker shield in the same build

[small spear]

no one in the world is only using the kill stacking to proc the statuses

they're using something else to keep it consistent like OD or eclipse fire so idk what they're cooking

[balmy cedar]

I get that but say for example you’re running blinder firefly, it was easier to get blind back IF you stacked the kills faster

[balmy cedar]

Yea but from a dps perspective without a CC

[neon wyvern]

is this descent talk

[cobalt forge]

its everything talk atp

[balmy cedar]

Like the only way I can think of it being manageable is red eclipse

[small spear]

then you don't run them because you don't want a dead talent for 2/3 of your kills

[kind veldt]

you use them when you have a plan

[balmy cedar]

But what about st Elmo’s 🤣

[neon wyvern]

lol

[small spear]

i mean i never said elmo

[hybrid ore]

This is pure speculation backed with just a little bit of intuition, but nerfing status stuff after adding some stuff does seem to imply to me that we're going to continue to get a focus on status effects in future items.

[kind veldt]

i mean couple of season the yadded the eletric talent equivalent

[neon wyvern]

20% amp is not good enough to justify not having it for 3 kills

[small spear]

but elmo even without the talent is strong

[neon wyvern]

and that 20% is one enemy only

[balmy cedar]

I know how to use it I’m just making the point that the stacking nerf negates the talent being useful alone

[neon wyvern]

I could shock the whole room with elmo

[kind veldt]

well things are pieces that you stack together and look for places they can fit

[balmy cedar]

I use eyeless during my WONY run with creeping death and blinder firefly

[kind veldt]

there are definetly some talents that are just good standalone

[balmy cedar]

Why do I have to wait 4 kills to get back blind 🥲

[cobalt forge]

cause why not

[balmy cedar]

Considering perfect eyeless belongs on something that’s not the mk 20 😂

[small spear]

strained ftw

cuz it helps me inflict a permanent status effect faster

death

[cobalt forge]

"death"

i am almost done with the season track im at like lvl 86 for the thing

[balmy cedar]

This

Is iron lung in loot pool

[small spear]

yeah

[cobalt forge]

it is

[balmy cedar]

😏

[full zinc]

the only rifles realistically worth using for dps are m1a classic and m1a cqb. both take the linked laser

[cobalt forge]

most of the exotics except for a few of them should be in the general loot pool

[balmy cedar]

Likewise but I hate having to spam and when in groups rip your wrist

I like the damage of the 1886. Personally other rifles feel weak in comparison

I don’t mind the reload either

[full zinc]

kinda the nature of any rifle

[small spear]

it has the highest base damage but lowest mag damage iirc

[balmy cedar]

What having to spam?

[full zinc]

yeah spamming them

personally i only use rifle for stuff way out thats hiding

[balmy cedar]

Not to me, rifles to me are hard hitting and shouldn’t take more than 3-4 shots to down most enemies … like you should be able to at least take out 3 elites with 1 mag but the consistency falls on the need for crit

[hybrid ore]

Rifles exist in a weird middle-ground between AR's and MMR's and it's kinda hard to say what should be changed to make them more unique.

[balmy cedar]

Which is why I say the base damage is too low

[hybrid ore]

higher base damage would just turn them into MMR's, faster fire rate would be an AR.
it's like how LMG's are slower AR's.

[neon wyvern]

rifle gearset

[balmy cedar]

ACES

[full zinc]

just need more rifle gear. a8 would be perfect to convert

[balmy cedar]

A8?

[full zinc]

aces

[neon wyvern]

real

[hybrid ore]

I want a new gearset not to change an old one, but fair fair.

[neon wyvern]

Nobody cares about aces anymore ever since hotshot

[hybrid ore]

Call it "deadeye" and have it be vaguely similar to div1's version.

[balmy cedar]

We need something to buff the damage output of rifles. Negotiators works but u lose ur stacks and in group play it doesn’t really make sense if other people are shooting at the same thing u are

Cause the trade off for rifles is either use glass cannon or focus…

[full zinc]

can spotter flatline

[neon wyvern]

does obliterate and it's 10 second duration work

[balmy cedar]

I do this with M1A but to do it with the 1886 is so bad 😭

Having a gearset that works in conjunction with pulse and spotter would be cool

And the decoy

That isn’t heartbreaker 👁️

[hybrid ore]

A talent that pulses on headshot but is locked to rifles would make me add one to my rotation quite fast.
and I don't even mean pulse for flatline, I mean flat-out a seeing pulse.

[balmy cedar]

I want the scoped view from div 1

[kind veldt]

bring BLIND back

[full zinc]

linked laser. dont need to waste a talent 🤔

[balmy cedar]

Add paint it black from rdr2 😂

Mark a bunch of enemies and fire away loool

[kind veldt]

i extremely hated deadeye in div1

[balmy cedar]

I think the main thing they need to stop doing with rifles is focusing on headshots for diminishing returns or otherwise do so much work for stacks and inconsistent damage

IE rifleman is amazing but upkeep is just wild and determined doesn’t belong on rifles

[kind veldt]

i dont think they focus on headshot enough

rifles are more focused on being spammy due weird stats than being high damage per shot as they should

[balmy cedar]

But in recent updates what have you seen they do with rifles

They just give whatever they give marksman rifles to rifles and do nothing to make them different or better

[kind veldt]

yes they buffed the hell out of damage

[balmy cedar]

Not really… only in solo play

[kind veldt]

you did read resolve patchnotes where most rifles got 20% damage increase right?

[balmy cedar]

I still think base damage is too low just cause they added certain buffs doesn’t mean that fits with what is needed

[kind veldt]

rifles are semi auto so by default they are more precise than full auto

problem is, game scales damage to magazine size for a lot of weapons, makes sense

but at some point making certain weapons have magazine and rof too big doesnt fit their role

[balmy cedar]

Not really… it’s why the m16 kind of sucks … has a large mag but at the cost of stability

[kind veldt]

LWM4 LVOA-C ACR SS are bad rifles because of that

[balmy cedar]

LVOA kind of does okay in raids

M4 just sucks

[kind veldt]

it's bad because you are meant to spam at high rof goes against the weapon category

[balmy cedar]

ACR in base game felt strong now it’s just a relic

[kind veldt]

there shouldnt be rifles with more than 20 rounds other than M16 due burst

[balmy cedar]

Jeez… what you’re meant to do and what is practical is what you’re missing… who’s gonna spam at 400 rpm with the trigger when they could just use an AR

[kind veldt]

thats my point

LVOA-C is not pratical because it's meant to be spammed in the weapon category that shouldnt be about that

[balmy cedar]

Spamming shouldn’t take half a mag to accurately kill an elite

Without weakpoints

It’s just stupid, base damage is too low

[kind veldt]

because it has too much magazine size that doesnt fit the weapon category

[balmy cedar]

The higher fire rate and higher mag size I don’t think has anything to do with it. If that were the case everything should have M1A damage and M1A should have 1886 damage with 1886 being a 2-3 shot kill max. I personally think this is how it should be but this is not an issue of fire rate or mag size

[kind veldt]

AR they scale damage with rof, and that works mostly fine

rifles they scale with magazine size

but the cutoff point is too high

[balmy cedar]

Are you talking about the way the game is coded or the way the guns work because I don’t think mag size scales anything

[kind veldt]

the way devs decided to give weapon damage

look at the snipers

slow bolt action = high damage
fast semi auto = low damage
perfect sense

but then you look at SVD vs MK20
SVD has lower mag and rof so it has more damage and better handling
MK20 has more mag and rof so it has less damage and handling

but the handling on MK20 to compensate the big magazine and rof is so poor that makes it a bad weapon to use

[balmy cedar]

Yea well they did it wrong . They went overkill with higher rpm weapons having shit handling low damage

It’s why I’m not impressed with project resolve they just ignored some guns that needed buffs more than others. All that changed was the meta. People run f2000 over famas now for mag size but lose a mod slot

You can’t even make use of higher rpm snipers consistently because it takes more than 3 headshots

[kind veldt]

the gap between F2000 and Famas isnt big enough to be a deal breaker

[balmy cedar]

And you are not compensated with more ammo for “bigger mag size”

[kind veldt]

the gap between performance between LVOA-C and M1A is big enough to be for me

[quick jasper]

bring back the division1 lvoac and lightweight m4!

[dense saffron]

Exactly

[balmy cedar]

There is when you consider the handling and dps loss of f2000 over range … I used to use it before the buff but the thing has a huge damage drop off

Idk if that’s changed but the only 2 ways I found to compensate for it was strained or ranger

[kind veldt]

i'm saying after the buff

[kind veldt]

that would solve nothing

[balmy cedar]

It would. It would remove them from rifle class and put them in AR class because that’s where they belong with such low damage and semi auto “spam”

[quick jasper]

oh we are tryign to solve something?

also bring back old merciless!

[round oar]

Does anyone have a list of all the blueprints in the game atm? I'm missing a chunk as I didn't start playing until late last year and the crafting table doesn't want to show me the ones I don't have.

[elfin hazel]

like the broken one from launch ??????

[quick jasper]

yes!

[dire grotto]

I love seeing an enemy attack a CP I captured and then like 10 minutes later an enemy resource convoy comes along behind it as if they expected their buddies to win

[stable fox]

Lengmo mask crafting: can you roll one with double crit or you gotta get it as a drop?

[kind veldt]

now that is a good bot at work

you can get it from crafting

there is a heavier bias for the first roll to match the main core in gear

[stable fox]

What do you mean

[gusty drift]

gays, where do i farm rogue agents for ridgeway chest

[light raptor]

Man these 2 rouge agents I need take the piss. Would find them all the time in the open world but now I just get none

[cobalt forge]

they kinda just appear everywhere i find them at cp sometimes also in countdown

[undone timber]

Lengmo drops blue, first attribute has higher chance to be blue

[hybrid ore]

Rogues have a chance to spawn at a CP after you've defended it, but before it's "claimed".
they can also spawn in the Summit every 30 minutes in a room with a closed end-door and no boss.
they do not appear in Countdown.

[cobalt forge]

i meant summit

my brain short-circuited

[hybrid ore]

(you can also get them randomly replacing an encounter in a Mission, and in the LZ, also on a timer)

[cobalt forge]

check ur files maybe

[kind veldt]

if you are farming brand that always comes with armor as the main core slot, the odds of the secondary roll being blue is higher

[gusty drift]

do u need alert lv 4 or can u do lower and doesnt matter

[hybrid ore]

Lvl 3 or 4, both spawn them fine.

at that level, they also drop 1 blueprint from their pool each completion, so might as well double-up.

[azure lintel]

Man I cannot seem to get an exotic drop from countdown

[undone timber]

Bad luck

[azure lintel]

Extremely

[brisk copper]

Is there a Maint tonight

[toxic reef]

whats the best way to find the snitch? Ive visited a bunch of spots i remember finding him at and gone to new york and back to reset, but no luck after 40 mins.

[flint shuttle]

could sum1 help me wit my game?

[light raptor]

I walked outside of a safe house in new york and got jumped by 2 of them. I have completed it now

[red depot]

do we have any news on any new Divison games? I really want to scratch the itch but i've played too much Div2.

[kind veldt]

More stuff will come when its ready

So pretty much nothing

[humble cargo]

Division 3 dev team is probably still being built so be a while before any new main title.

[elfin hazel]

its not even being built yet

really wish they waited to announce it even if its still going to months away from when I would like them to annouce it

[warm minnow]

People saw Division 3 and ran with it

They dont even have a team yet to start working on it xd

[spice stump]

Hey how do I get the exotic smg that I see everyone using it isn’t the lady death or the one that puts you on bleed

And can I get it from summit?

[exotic blaze]

Ouroboros. You can only get it from the incursion

[lyric pebble]

So the Hunters in The Tower have like

6 fucking medkits?

[ivory pebble]

The random rogue spawns in areas I'm not familiar with really burns my butt. This only happens at a couple of DC locations to me but nearly the majority of NY spawns. I'd pay cash for a hud that shows the general direction when they spawn. However, I'm not so fussed now that they are bugged and a fix may or may not be incoming in the next few months?

[quick jasper]

i would play division 3

[spice stump]

Damn

How hard is it?

[warm minnow]

It’s hard if you don’t have people that know what to do.

[spice stump]

Oh

What the least amount of people that could complete it?

[undone timber]

Realistically you want 4

People have done it with less but it takes skill

[brisk copper]

.drib is there Maint tonight

[elfin hazel]

no

[eternal zenith]

What’s currently invaded

[azure lintel]

Pretty sure if there was it would be in #news-and-announcements

[brisk copper]

Thankyou .drib

[hasty crater]

Just played ghost recon breakpoint and it has missions related to splinter cell & rainbow 6
Is the division in the same universe?
All i got in that game is just MP5 SHD edition lol

[warm minnow]

Whats the current weekly legendary?

[azure lintel]

Manning National Zoo

[warm minnow]

Alright staying away from mm.

[rough rover]

I hate when it's manning

[warm minnow]

Its the first time zoo got weekly leg rotation

[rough rover]

Ah

[wise cobalt]

Hi everyone

[dapper atlas]

[rough rover]

Ello

[wise cobalt]

It was my birthday on the 22nd so I'm one more year older 😆

[jolly talon]

I was wondering if there is a way to have your xp bar and hud up permanently ?

[dapper atlas]

@jade gulch No advertising in this server pls.

[dapper atlas]

Happy belated birthday 🎂

[midnight salmon]

Happy Birthday 🎉🎉🎉

[wise cobalt]

Thanks

[random quest]

not as far as I know, but pressing f brings up the hud on demand

[eternal zenith]

if i have nemesis bp can i farm nem in countdown targeted

nvm

just got it

[carmine sky]

How do you transfer expose through melee? I melee everytime my bar is full or I'm pulsing red but I feel like I'm only getting 1 progress per like 10 melees.

[rose glade]

Any idea why i cant recalibrate sniper rifles?

As soon as i choose the tinker tab or whatever it's called now, nothing shows up. UI is gone.

[serene elk]

I have this issue too, try switching between tabs and opening other tabs and going back

Otherwise press M on the weapon you want to tinker

It will specifically bring up the tinkering station for that one

[random quest]

Pipes have the same issue, the workaround is directly tinkering the item you want to

[rose glade]

Didn't knew they added the option to tinker items from your inventory, thanks !

[hybrid ore]

Expertise, Tinker (Recal and Optimise), Library, all from anywhere now.

[novel moat]

Good morning, what’s in the box ?
The Fan Kit Plz

[hybrid ore]

Fan Kits are basically for non-commercial use and fanart/cosplay references.

e.g.profile pics, backgrounds, etc.

[novel moat]

Oh awesome thank you

[unborn ravine]

2000+ fixes for project resolve and they can't fix the foam bug in pvp ffs.

[rough rover]

There's a foam bug in pvp?

[unborn ravine]

Has been since they introduced the skill

[rough rover]

I've never used it so I wouldn't know

[glossy musk]

what all content can you do with the GE active?

[warm minnow]

Every but raid incursion pvp and descent iirc

[glossy musk]

so no countdown?

[warm minnow]

No countdown aswell

[glossy musk]

sadge

[hybrid ore]

The bulk of farming during a Global Event is done in just the usual "CP+acitivites" run around.

You'll find backup real fast with one active.

[glossy musk]

also are the caches from the ge event buyable more than once? also are there any ways to obtain ge stars other than challenges? also also srry for al the questions 🥹

[warm minnow]

Buy as much as you can

And you earn them from leveling up aswell.

[glossy musk]

ty for the help

[hybrid ore]

If someone refers to "stars" on here, that's what they mean.

[glossy musk]

😮 every level or is it like every 5?

[hybrid ore]

One per SHD Level.

and however many per challenge, but those are 1 time each.

[glossy musk]

ok ty

[meager pewter]

is Cassie shared between characters? or do i have to search for the snitch when i craete a new char?

[daring scroll]

What is the best way to level up fast

[warm minnow]

open world with directives

[crystal smelt]

another option is 4 stack conflict spamming team elimination, similar XP to doing open world.
Up to 6mil XP from a single match (if you can win)

[wet mesa]

does the shd exposed event work in countdown ?

mine deactivated but dont know if I did it by accident somehow or if it just doesnt work

[full zinc]

Not active in cd. It auto shuts off if you goto cd

[fickle edge]

man i wish frenzy was active throughout the whole mag instead of just 5 seconds

[frank bobcat]

man… i hate Zoo on legendary..

[rough rover]

Right there with you

[wet mesa]

ok cheers thought I de activated it obviously not then

is there anything else the SHd event de activates in ?

[kind veldt]

#td2-general-chat message

[full zinc]

If you answer a backup call and they dont have it active it will shut off for you as well

[wet mesa]

does summit count as any of those where it deactivates ?

[full zinc]

Summit it stays active

As long as session owner has it active *

[quaint prairie]

what’s a good chest piece talent for pve?

[lofty shell]

transfer full exposure to a hostile using a melee attack is bugged or i am doing it wrong?

[warm minnow]

Depends on the build

[quaint prairie]

memento

[wet mesa]

im wondering the same thing mine is still 0/25

[warm minnow]

Gotta give me more info man

[kind veldt]

Skill build, snipers, ARs, shotguns or what? That hasnt really told us much

[wooden tapir]

any new D2 players ?

[wet mesa]

so how does the SHD event objective work (exactly) for transfering full exposure to a hostile using a melee attack ?

I am building up the charges & doing melee attacks but not getting the credit what am I doing wrong ?

[real creek]

I think you have to be full stack to transfer.

[short wagon]

is big horn worth grinding?

[brazen abyss]

@wooden tapir check dm

[kind veldt]

Its not the uber best, people say its meta on pvp right now

[cobalt lily]

Manic blueprint still not fixed... 😄

[dire grotto]

I think SHD Exposed might be my favorite global event. I love the fat headshot snipes I can get with them

biggest one I've seen so far is around 121 million

[hybrid ore]

the buffs to the majority of the GE's this season onwards are wonderful for sure.

[undone timber]

tell this man about reanimated

[hybrid ore]

Here's what changed for Exposed:

    10x melee damage for the first melee hit after reaching 100% exposed.
    Stacks are acquired 50% faster.
    Doubled pulse radius.
    Players take 65% damage instead of 115% from pulsed enemies. Non-pulsed enemies still deal full damage.```

[dire grotto]

I would love it if we could just have any GE active that we want, but without rewards. The gameplay is just chef's kiss

[hybrid ore]

The problem with that is that it would split the player-base, as you can only matchmake for people with the GE active as-is.

[undone timber]

ah itd make the game so so easy

[dire grotto]

Then crank the difficulty up when they're turned on lol

I play solo Heroic and the game's already crazy easy

[hybrid ore]

Using OP builds makes div2 quite easy, it's true.

power-creep has been a thing for quite a while now anyway, the game has gotten much easier over time.

[dire grotto]

Nemesis headshots is quite slow, but so satisfying. I could use Determined, but it's just too easy for my taste

[neon wyvern]

if they follow the trend of the recent manhunt missions I think heroic isn't gonna be so easy soon

[hybrid ore]

the most exciting GE change I'm interested in seeing in action? Hollywood:

    Tripled explosion range.
    Tripled explosion damage.
    Fixed explosion VFX.
    Explosions generate signature ammo and grenades at the player's location.```

[neon wyvern]

Fixed explosion vfx 🙏

[void gust]

Hey there. I recently started TD2 again with a fresh character. I hit lvl 30 before starting the endgame. I thought specializations unlocked on lvl30? Or do they unlock on beating the main story?

[dire grotto]

lmao I kinda forgot Signature weapons were a thing. I never use mine as it's just flat weaker than my Nemesis

[undone timber]

grenade launcher about to go wild

[real creek]

You mastered 1/4 and 1/2 charges yet? Basically partial charges that will still one shot.

[hybrid ore]

the Sig weapons are very much a "way too niche" thing.
except for the Crossbow, I can't think of a real use for them outside of maybe niche strats that I can't think of.

[dire grotto]

We need either some nutty spec weapon reworks, or new spec weapons

[neon wyvern]

insta breaking armor plates

[hybrid ore]

Yes that was the one use.

I'm talking about the rest.

[dire grotto]

I'd love for newer spec weapons to really just bend the game around. Give us a compound bow that shoots silently and doesn't alert enemies if you kill out of the line-of-sight
or maybe a set of Juggernaut armor that lets you face tank

[neon wyvern]

grenade launcher is when you run out of mortar turret ammo

[undone timber]

tac 50 and bow are the only ones I see actually put to use

[dire grotto]

I have. Most of the time when I charge up it's to get HH active. After that I'm just holding for a bit

[neon wyvern]

flamethrower and minigun useless

[west lantern]

has descent bug that you can't get weekly comm after killing nemesis fixed yet?

[hybrid ore]

Once an enemy is alerted, they all are. It's not a matter of them seeing them be killed.
It's just part of the engine itself it seems.

[real creek]

This is the way.

[dire grotto]

I honestly would love a rudamentary stealth system for the game. Be able to jam comms and screw with AI pathing to take advantage of different fights. Pick off an enemy or two with a suppressed weapon or one with a flash hider so they can't just immediately know where you are

[hybrid ore]

That would be an entirely different game by itself, not just a side thing.

[void gust]

?

[dire grotto]

For a game that's 5 years old and has hardly changed I wouldn't mind something like that. I doubt we're ever going to get a Division 3 at this point lol

[hybrid ore]

IIRC the two times you can kill enemies without having to actually fight them is if you draw a rival faction nearby, or go to DCD base mission and turn on the fire room without alerting them.

[void gust]

They are developing TD3.

[neon wyvern]

Definitely gonna abuse this stealth feature as an ar main

[hybrid ore]

Div3 has been confirmed, it's coming (we assume) some time after Outlaws/Heartland/Resugence/the div2 dlc.

[west lantern]

and ditched the Heartland maybe

[dire grotto]

I'm not sure what form "TD3" would take, but I think a lot of people would be really unhappy with having all of their progression just wiped away again to fully restart

[hybrid ore]

A lot of people whined about that when WONY dropped too.

they got over it.

[void gust]

Wut? It will be a new game....

[dire grotto]

Yeah and then wen got like 5 different updates with massive amounts of vertical progression that was well above the complexity of the vanilla game lmao

[hybrid ore]

What's that thing the pokemon devs say? "If we took every idea that fans had we would make the worst game in the world" or something like that.

[dire grotto]

And yet they still manage to make some of the worst games in the world :lul:

[void gust]

People complain too much.

[hybrid ore]

stuff always sounds great in a vacuum, but something like a stealth system, or melee, or vehicle crafting or survival elements in the LZ, all would change how div2 works at a base level.

[dire grotto]

People definitely complain, but jesus the last like 10 years of Pokemon games have been awful

[neon wyvern]

lol vehicles in division

[undone timber]

I like what we have at the minute

[dire grotto]

At most I can see bicycles being the "vehicles" we get lmao

[undone timber]

I miss survival but that doesn't really work cuz no blizzard and shit

[real creek]

Quad copter flight Sim

[hybrid ore]

the amount of times we've had suggestions of having cars in DC whilst the roads are clearly clogged up with wrecks is just...they don't play the game enough and want to play it even less by driving to the mission start instead of walking from a spawn point.

[neon wyvern]

who walks to the mission start

[dire grotto]

The most I'd want for world updates would be for Massive to just clean up the dead bodies

[neon wyvern]

just fast travel lolmao

[undone timber]

better yet just spawn on the mission itself

[hybrid ore]

I more meant things like bounties and such, but sure.

[dire grotto]

we've had a dead mf sitting outside of the White house entrance for the past 5 years now. Clean it up please

[hybrid ore]

Actually that's recent.

from the Stovepipe Manhunt IIRC

[real creek]

Yeah that's newer

[dire grotto]

Ah, still, clean it up lmao

that's like a 1 day thing

[undone timber]

I find it curious there's a black tusk branded bulwark

[hybrid ore]

in canon it's still just slightly afterwards at the White House.
it's like how the Castle remained dead for 4 years before it got cleaned up.

[real creek]

We must be reminded of when they attacked the Whitehouse

[dire grotto]

I think the Legacy Manhunt menu added a direct date timeline

[hybrid ore]

Didn't they canonically steal them from the DARPA labs?

[undone timber]

I wouldn't know tbh

[real creek]

Really I wish the Whitehouse lighting would go back to pre invaded tho.

[hybrid ore]

you can see them inside the lab if you wander around, and giant turrets that i want so badly.

[dire grotto]

Jupiter's team came on the 20th of August, and our current day is like sometime in mid-late October

WOW the last three seasons took place over the span of 3 days

[hybrid ore]

Roosevelt manhunt was a lot earlier than stovepipe, im not really sure what you're referring to here.

that was back pre-Lau hunt.

[dire grotto]

I'd still like the full seasons to be evergreen at some point
it sucks missing out on full missions and recordings

not having context for stuff really puts a hamper on the storytelling

[undone timber]

comms are available now

[dire grotto]

I've not seen any so far

[undone timber]

named enemies drop them from the manhunts

[hybrid ore]

Each Named Enemy gives you 1 comm within the Manhunt itself ^

[dire grotto]

Oh, well I'd rather not just grind out the same Manhunt like 30 times to get the dialogue. Plus there's still the post-manhunt missions like with Stovepipe that you just have no context for if you missed it

[undone timber]

if you need the context it's there for you in the comms

[dire grotto]

it's not though

[hybrid ore]

What's missing?

[undone timber]

if youre interested in more lore stuff I think NGN does that sort of thing

[dire grotto]

I had no idea there was an entire mission at the White House that lead from the Stovepipe season to the Mari Singh season

And then "Agent Johnson" just shows up out of nowhere and I have no clue who he is either. It's so fragmented, and the easiest solution would be just to make the seasons evergreen so you could toggle them and do the manhunts one at a time to get the dialogue and do any supplementary missions

[undone timber]

all you missed was a cutscene or 2 and razorback lite

[dire grotto]

yeah and those cutscenes contained most of the context for what's happening this year lmao

I come back and apparently Kelso left and I have no clue why or what lead to it

[undone timber]

thats the whole point lol

the manhunt is a search for her

[dire grotto]

I really can't imagine that she'd just be here one day and poof gone the next without anything in-game hinting at it or revealing it like Faye being a Rogue agent at the end of Warlords

[hybrid ore]

yeah Vanguard is best described as a "following the breadcrumbs" mystery. We have no idea why she left, or where she's going. We likely aren't going to even fight her and are just finding hidden messages.

[dire grotto]

I mean yeah that's fine. I'm cool with discovering that as we go

but was there any cutscene or message saying that she left?

[undone timber]

yes, at the beginning

[hybrid ore]

That is the full context that you can get from the Recruiter comms and then what we've seen so far in this season.

[dire grotto]

The Recruiter comms that can only be gotten if you play the mission like 30 times to get them to drop

👍

[undone timber]

much less than 30

[hybrid ore]

You like complaining.

[undone timber]

if youre that interested get the comms or get the lore externally

[hybrid ore]

And a chunk of them can't even be obtained from there, you have to go for a hunt for extra ones outside of the mission around DC.

I'm pretty sure those are still there.

[dire grotto]

I just don't understand why that was the final decision though. Replay the same mission over and over again and slowly piece things together instead of just letting us toggle the Manhunt again and replay it. I'm pretty sure you could already do that with previous ones

[hybrid ore]

Nope, you could never replay an entire Manhunt unless they re-ran the Season.

[dire grotto]

I vaguely remember there was a way to reset it so all of the relevant CPs would be occupied again

but maybe not, IDK

[undone timber]

while it was running, yes

not after

youd have had to complete it anyway

[dire grotto]

Yeah, so why can't we just be able to do it after? It's not like the data gets deleted from the game lmao

[elfin hazel]

easier since manhunts are more complicated than just being able to reselect them

we've seen what happens when even a short revert during a season goes wrong and it breaks the game big time

[dire grotto]

How so? We have a Legacy Manhunt menu. Just have it work where you select what Manhunt you want to work on from that menu, or revert to the current live Manhunt

[hybrid ore]

what drib said. Clearly there's a reason we can't just replay the entire Manhunt whenever we want, I assume it's to do with game stability.

How many comms are you missing from whatever Manhunt you want to do?

[undone timber]

thats only the prime target

bringing back the other stuff would probably break the game again

[elfin hazel]

older manhunts had different/way more objectives along with it changing a ton of the map makes it not so easy to just bring back

[elfin hazel]

example being when there was an extended no season after a season because something broke regarding seasons opening the map made you crash

[eternal zenith]

im going insane i keep trying to roll either crit damage/headshot damage on my bag but keep getting fuuucked and i cant tinker it since i need the tinker for the talent

[hybrid ore]

Which bag is it?

[eternal zenith]

ceska guerilla backpack

got crit chance and crit damage roll on it before but needed headshot

[humble cargo]

so you got the talent in your tinker you want or not?

[eternal zenith]

yeah already have the talent

[undone timber]

is this some kind of pvp thing

[eternal zenith]

yes

its for my nemesis build

im near 300% headshot damage

[humble cargo]

show us the attribute panel

[eternal zenith]

lemme end this countdown

[real creek]

Deploys T6 drone and stinger hive on extract to quickly wipe the team.

[humble cargo]

had someone do that.

they didn't know any better but yea.

[undone timber]

exuro turret for ultimate liability

[humble cargo]

I love exuro for many places.

[eternal zenith]

also what page even is the attributes page ?

on the item?

[humble cargo]

when you bring up the item and selct in inventory

show us what the stats are right now.

[eternal zenith]

tagged

[dire grotto]

I've only ever done Jupiter and Faye Lau. The rest I've missed, so I have a ton of those comms to get

[hybrid ore]

Well if you want to experience the full story, NGN does a pretty good series if you take a look at their channel.
would avoid you having to do the hundreds of comms that are not there.

[dire grotto]

That's what I was afraid of. We shouldn't have to consult a YouTube channel to get access to all of the comms

or the only alternative being bashing your head against a wall with the same mission for possibly days to collect the comms

[hybrid ore]

It wouldn't be days, and you are being incredibly dramatic.

I'm picturing your Agent laying on a fainting couch complaining of the vapours.

[dire grotto]

How is that being dramatic? That's such an "f-u, I got mine" mentality

"should have been playing when they were live"

[hybrid ore]

Oh please don't do this today.

I've already had one, I don't need 2.

[full zinc]

Invaded Grand Washington Hotel this week.
if you need to start the Nemesis sniper project or need the blueprint, this is the best week to do that.
even without all the parts, once blueprint is in hand nemesis can drop from MMR target loot.

[dire grotto]

There are at least 20 comms for each season. Last season had 33. I'd have to complete each of those missions that many times to collect the comms that could be picked up in like 3 hours of clearing CPs and doing Bounties

[undone timber]

they are gone, there are other ways to learn of the lore

[dire grotto]

literally the worst possible response lmao

"lmao FOMO"

[undone timber]

thing is you didn't miss out

[real creek]

Reality isn't always good.

[undone timber]

its all obtainable

[hybrid ore]

You've been given multiple answers on what to do, nothing anyone here says will change how things work so you can either take one of those responses or stop complaining because no one can help.

[full zinc]

i would just look up NGN on yt. all that stuff should be in nice little packages to consume

[real creek]

I do think this game does some less than ideal things. Making content that time gated or just not available a majority of the time is dumb, people worked hard to make the content and story line we should be able to enjoy it.

[dire grotto]

That still doesn't solve the problem of post-manhunt missions like the Stovepipe one. I literally only found out that there was a raid on the White House when I looked at the opening cutscene for the next Manhunt mission

[undone timber]

could be worse

could be des2

[dire grotto]

I mean yeah, but it's still like one step above Destiny 2's storyline system lol

[hybrid ore]

This is all one big loop isn't it.
In a moment someone is going to bring up ceska pvp bags and its going to start again.

[full zinc]

yes history always repeats 😆

[undone timber]

idk why that reminded me of the historian flavour text

[hybrid ore]

The talent yeah? For sure.

[undone timber]

an exotic m1a imagine

[hybrid ore]

I bet it would require some kind of DOCTOR at HOME.

[undone timber]

ah that ones so ugh though

it does look cool though

[hybrid ore]

I do like its design.

I'm appreciating the exotic redesigns, I hope we get more.

[undone timber]

dread edict next I hope

[hybrid ore]

one for blb and mosquito would be fun too, both are kinda simple.

[molten spire]

"Will the Dread Edict finally get a scope? Find out on the next season of The Division 2!"

[hybrid ore]

I'm getting flashbacks to watching Lost when it was new and I don't like it.

[random quest]

fr, explosions gonna be so realistic my pc finna blow up

[wise cobalt]

Don't you mean "SSG" scope hint dragonball super

[random quest]

Interestingly enough this was a feature in the E3 trailer - so was helping your agent from mobile by sending in mortar strikes and what not. All scrapped ideas.

[undone timber]

true that

[dire grotto]

I think it's a good thing we didn't get any of that. Having external stuff linked never works well.

[undone timber]

💥

[small geode]

Best place to farm max mods?

[undone timber]

watch dogs used to have quite a cool companion app

[thorn cape]

I really want a gun like the historian to return it would just be good fun lol

[solar spindle]

Do you get anything worth it for completing all 100 floors of summit?

[carmine onyx]

just got the nemesis
damn it hits hard

[carmine onyx]

mask

[solar spindle]

Ok good enough for me!

[carmine onyx]

also if you get the parts you can start an exotic quest

floor 100 is a pain on legendary though

[solar spindle]

I keep doing the 15 floors for the weekly but then I was like; should I just be resetting to get it down quicker

I’m up to the 60’s now. Running on challenging

[carmine onyx]

nice

summit is a good way to get loot [especially if you dont wanna do countdown]

also you can get the bighorn if ya do it on legendary [and get a good drop]

[solar spindle]

Yeah been going back and forth between them. I like doing summit with the gear from countdown to see how well I do. Since countdown is a cakewalk

[carmine onyx]

true

[undone nebula]

How can get ravenous exotic weapon?

[warm minnow]

Iron Horse

[sterile hemlock]

does anyone know how to get regulus using alt?

Iv done the project, and Im at the last step requiring to grab the pieces from the bosses. And I thought I could use my alt to run thru the raid again

[warm minnow]

No alts need to do the project first

[real creek]

You mean alt character right?

Not alt account?

[sterile hemlock]

yea alt

All im missing is parts from bosses

[real creek]

So just share the BP stuff and you just need to run thru with the regulus on a different character, if you have it on you or in your stash parts wont drop. You also can only do this ONCE per fresh week.

And only on your very first run of the week

[sterile hemlock]

Hmm i dont have the regulus just yet

[real creek]

Did you have the BP from Inaya and had not run it at all during the reset?

[sterile hemlock]

no blueprint just yet, the project end part, says to collect parts

was wondering if i can collect parts on an alt

[real creek]

Another week yo. The only part that you can get right now is the gold bar from the box.

Bosses will not drop parts if you've run on this reset regardless of character.

[fervent shuttle]

Tidal basin mission just stuck. Stand at doors that won't open… anyone got a fix?

[tender wave]

did you just kill the second antiviral warhound? If so, you need to fire a flare before you can move on

[fervent shuttle]

First

No flare to fire… nothing. Seems like a glitch

Tried to kill my self but just regenerated health immediately because there's no one around

[mint tartan]

hello guys i just discorved dark zone and i playing with a random for 10 minutes. but he left and it seems more fun duo so anyone want to explore the dark zone with me?

[full zinc]

if you dont kill the first one before it starts moving towards that gate then there is a chance it disappears and no flare to fire. also seen it glitch there with rogues and not having a way to pass it

best bet it to get it killed before it makes its way back to the emp stand

[tender wave]

yeah that's quite an old bug, particularly annoying on heroic because you have to reset the whole mission

if you aren't on heroic you can reset the stage with a bit of thought, eg removing any armor cores you're wearing, combining a grenade with a sticky bomb at your feet, etc

[pure saffron]

throw 2 regular 'nades, or Explosive sticky next time you wanna die

[real creek]

Fire sticky best wipe skill

[full zinc]

as an old f10 guy, oxi works really well too. if self delete isnt working put a glass piece on

[gaunt nacelle]

It's just me, or we can't reroll snipers ?!

Section is bugged and i can't select it

[full zinc]

which sniper

[gaunt nacelle]

From tinker

[real creek]

Bug when running two of the same weapons and trying to tinker

[tender wave]

only equip one sniper, not two, then try

[gaunt nacelle]

Ok ....

ty

[real creek]

You can also enter the weapons and select what you want to tinker.

[pure saffron]

wrong "table"

wait, i was thinkin exotic

[real creek]

Just a bug. You can't open tinker from the inventory overview if you have two of the same weapon types equipped.

[gaunt nacelle]

From the weapon it self ? Ty

[pure saffron]

the menu of your inventory

[real creek]

Yeah I personally always tinker by going into the thing and selecting what I want to tinker. Like if you wanna tinker a gun or chest go into the thing and click what you wanna tinker then press m and it'll go straight to that item.

[pure saffron]

@real creek I know what you are talking about, but you should post a picture of the menu buttons you use on PC, on my controller it's a menu button

[fervent shuttle]

Ya tried that next to a tank and I regenerated immediately lol. I just reset the Xbox. Getting a white screen too

[real creek]

Welp I'm working so no such thing shall happen. Regardless just read the bottom text and press the corresponding button.

[pure saffron]

reading is hard. :Kappa:

[cobalt forge]

It’s always hard

[quick jasper]

is there a way to minimize or hide teammates names when aiming or in combat?

it gets in the way a lot

[meager pewter]

any good guide on how to max expertise? I mean i know i can use everything till 10, but idk how worth it is to donate stuff to speed up other item levels

[restive flower]

So best Way to farm materials?

[full zinc]

High shd- run wony to duplicate watch

Low shd- hit up solar farm cp daily, do all projects/daily bounties, hit up every case you find, run cd and decon a bunch of stuff.

Running challenging + controlpoints will give blueprints for optimization mats randomly

[restive flower]

[dusty galleon]

Hello

[shrewd cosmos]

Is the 12% pfe mod at clan only visible to level 40? I'm wondering if a level 30 can see it also

[full zinc]

30 and 40 vendors will be different stock

[shrewd cosmos]

Ok ty

Has 13% pfe ever showed up in vendors?

[full zinc]

Not that I've seen but its rng so you never know

[neon wyvern]

can max mods even show up in vendors my guess is no

[random quest]

I'm not sure they can either

[full zinc]

I'm sure it's possible

12% pfe pretty good for a vendor tho. Good time to buy up some if needed

[random quest]

I remember something about it not being possible which is why the 12% pfe is so good and everyone and their mom makes a video about it every time it happens

Defo need to grab it myself after Tidal

[silent nymph]

Another day, another time where the weekly descent rewards is not fixed

[random quest]

It's slated for TU20.2

It has been for quite a while, which strongly leads me to believe they either f'ed up horribly - or it's for lore reasons

[silent nymph]

My guess is that they are gonna release it next week then

[real creek]

20.1 just happened week ago....

The soonest you'll know is like 4 days before a patch is coming and they usually add the trello patch notes first.

[lime fulcrum]

anyone know how turn off uplay beta?!
it is turned on automatically
i don't know how to turn it off 😂

[regal grove]

Ho Hi guys, I'm in trouble... after years of Xbox with Td2 I switched to PC

Can I pass data from Xbox to PC?

[hybrid ore]

Nope. No cross-play, no cross-save.
Sorry.

[regal grove]

Oh...

[hybrid ore]

Game from 2019, you really feel it sometimes.

[regal grove]

too bad, I'll have to uninstall then... I had more than 600 hours on xbox

[hybrid ore]

luckily with farming methods these days, you can catch up quite quickly.

one Countdown run on Challenging will get you about 50-ish pieces of loot.
takes about 15 minutes.

[regal grove]

how could I do?

[hybrid ore]

Your best bet is to find long-term friends down in #td2-clan-recruitment, most players are happy to help someone transferring over from another platform because they know what they're doing.

[regal grove]

thanks for the suggestion

[stark heron]

Jesus shd exposed is good

Allowing me to do 700k-1m on crit with lady death

Given Im using BK exotic but yeah

[hybrid ore]

The buffs to it are super nice, can't wait for the rest of the GE's to see how good they are now.

[stark heron]

Never actually knew what shd exposed did

Really is just a damage buff event

[hybrid ore]

That's actually way more impressive as BK is...okay it's not good.

[barren tiger]

i hit lvl 901 an hour ago ^_^

[stark heron]

Yeah its very situational I know

The fact lady death has the 500% melee damage, and its stacking with max exposed melee damage

Therefore bk is getting triggered, and so forth

I just wish I had adrenaline rush instead of bloodsucker

[tight orchid]

Can someone pls tell me how to stop crashing

[stark heron]

PC moment

Unlucky

[languid pond]

I wasn’t sure to play div2 or apex last night
Booted up the game to try and get my spotter build in countdown and I crashed 5 mins in. Went to apex lmao

[oak steeple]

guys...

how can i report a bug to ubi...?

cuz ghost mask on washington monument is definetly bugged

[real creek]

Been bugged for a really long time. Shoot out the lights and try a bunch of different positions and directions for saluting.

Oh wait you are talking about a different one

[oak steeple]

what lights...?
i'm talking bout the hunter which you have to salute 3 graves

[neon wyvern]

[oak steeple]

i think that was wraith or sth

[real creek]

Idk if that one's actually bugged or if people are messing it up tho

[oak steeple]

it IS bugged....

when you face the grave and the monument...
after the salute there's a glitch in UI shows you've done it right

me and my lads tested it in these few days....

didn't work

i personally done it a while back so i know how this works....

plus it's not that hard

[random quest]

that's what she... uhhhhh

[oak steeple]

wut...?

[random quest]

read what you wrote

[oak steeple]

sorry mate - my english is not that good...🥲

[neon wyvern]

middle school joke failed

return to hq

[random quest]

[limpid kindle]

In descent mode, is still not get the intel

[random quest]

I can't explain the joke because that's against the rules

[random quest]

Slated for TU20.2 fix

[oak steeple]

ah dang it....

why do i feel you wanted to mention kelso with this....?

i dunno - i don't know much bout division lore

[humble cargo]

remeber: when you run into the open field in the incursion and get waxed wearing your 'all game mode' all red Striker, then ask where were the heals, look way behind you.

[random quest]

nothing to do with lore, you wrote "it's not that hard" and I made the joke "that's what she said".

[real creek]

Healing turrets is a noob move at this point tho.

[humble cargo]

my favorite so far is on the opening 'what is a decoy'

[real creek]

Don't need decoy or EMP.

[humble cargo]

ok then what do you do?

[real creek]

https://youtu.be/VMCY7Y5L_Gs?si=IJqX3XmB7xehAsXG

[humble cargo]

I really do wish people would view this.

then again its you and Raucey so I sort of expect something like this to work.

[real creek]

lol bro it's been done duo in 9:51 now tho.

[humble cargo]

nice. still, the point.

so many just run in and expect heroic DUA or something

[real creek]

It's funny tho cause we do duo turrets in almost 1 min flat every time and our fastest is 56 seconds.

[brazen abyss]

Any new players wanting to grind the game with someone new?

[amber vault]

why does this game continue to put me in Europe servers when im in the mdidle of the us like what.

[timber hatch]

It was 50 or 52 wasn't it?

You just don't think that's going to happen again

[long ice]

Does anyone know how you access the season pass im hella confused

[humble cargo]

buy it on the store.

[spice stump]

guys im scared i know i was level 1000+ on pc but on ubi connect its only saying my highest level is 31

the math aint mathing correct

[molten spire]

Ubi Connect is showing you the "raw" backend data

a Level 40 with near-maxed everything is Level 30 Gearscore 925 according to it

[light raptor]

Could also be showing another characters level being as it is showing 31

[spice stump]

yeah logged on got a bunch of annoying tutorials and im 1415 😄 so much better than being only 235 🤢

[light raptor]

I made a new character the other day and ubisoft decided to show me a level 7 being my highest level lol

[spice stump]

god i missed my merciless build holy fuh

[hidden prawn]

shit was so broken at the start, then they nerfed it in to the ground

[quick jasper]

bring back merciless!

[spice stump]

well i take down bosses w only 2 trigger pulls so did it really get nerfed?

[timber hatch]

Is anyone else struggling with Ubi connect opening?

[azure lintel]

I've been playing for a while. Still in game actually but I see there is a message on my connect saying "we will continue trying to restore a connection that was interupted"

[fickle edge]

am I the only one still who doesn't get daily mission rewards since TU 20?

[azure lintel]

lol I've rolled about 20-25 HSD/WH Habsburg pieces and I think about 18-19 have had Trauma as the talent and thats kind of bugging me

cause that doesnt really seem like RNG

[dire grotto]

is the game down right now? I can't log in at all

[hollow sequoia]

Looks like it. I played earlier today and was fine, now I can't log in to ubisoft connect.

[dire grotto]

lmao can't play your games because Ubi's servers are awful

I really hope that they realize their launcher is awful and that nobody would willingly use it if they could have an alternative

[opal radish]

New features beta ?

[hollow sequoia]

@azure lintel I swear some sets are heavily weighted for certain rolls. I have 4 or 5 unicorn pieces I've been trying to get for over a month. I spent a week trying to get Aegis peices with ST, SD and they just don't drop either. I'm still hunting a Providence vest with yellows and Glass, some builds are damn near impossible to min/max.

[low ermine]

just loaded on in idk how long what should i be doing rn?

[hollow sequoia]

invasion, daily projects, then whatever you like to do.

[low ermine]

thank you

[azure lintel]

@hollow sequoia The Sacrifice is not bad because it's a guaranteed talent and named items are weighted for chest/backpack slots in targeted loot, so hopefully thats good news for you (i have a Skill Core Skill Haste Skill Damage Sacrifice on 2 characters and a All yellow gift as well, wasnt bad at all)

Skill Damage Status Effect Groupo pieces took me about 450 summit levels tho, and im fairly certain I will never get both my Habsburg unicorns because i wont delete a character to cheese my SHD points, but its something to hope for

[hollow sequoia]

What are you building? Hotshot sniper build?

[azure lintel]

Well I already have the build, just want those unicorns for the extra 5% WD and 15% HSD because why not

[glossy musk]

are expertise levels on gear still additive?

[real creek]

Talking about gate press tho.

Fastest ad clear was 50 tho.

[full zinc]

definitely not worth the resources unless you're* maxed out mats and nothing to use them on. i think everything at exp 20 is somewhere around 1 armor core gain.

[glossy musk]

are weapons worth tho?

[full zinc]

yes

but it will be additive with the red cores.

[hollow sequoia]

expertise on gear only affects base armor, it doesn't include any attributes or bonus armor for % calculation. Weapons and skills get way more benefit for your resources.

[cobalt forge]

i just got a mantis from a exotic cache how viable is mantis

[real creek]

It's good for sniper builds.

[full zinc]

good sniper

[hollow sequoia]

Mantis is great with decoy, Nemesis is better for single target damage, White Death is great also. All the other MR's are just okay IMO. I haven't tried them since the update though.

[full zinc]

with resolve m700 nets more damage than white death. all variants

[shrewd cosmos]

anyone else getting bravo-04 errors?

[hollow sequoia]

@full zincI'll have to try that.

@shrewd cosmos yep, they broke something in the last few hours. I was on fine earlier today and ran the invaded missions. I can't log in now.

[shrewd cosmos]

Copy, thanks. I thought it might be my connection but other games are fine

[warm shadow]

im getting it to

Can't log into Ubisoft in general

[quick jasper]

me either!

rogue agents got to the servers

[lunar hare]

calm down dude, no one's perfect in this life, neither a server.

[shrewd cosmos]

Ubisoft discord general chat is on a 2 hour slow mode. Is that always present or do they activate it when people inform them the servers are down?

[quick jasper]

thats jsut how long the ubisoft servers are taking to process the chat messages probably

[quaint prairie]

can memento drop from the end of the incursion chest?

[real creek]

Yes

[frosty wadi]

That pronoun comment is pushing too far

I hate these devs too but I have standards

[lapis junco]

I swear some of yall have gaming addictions

theres no way people get this mad over ubisoft being down without being addicted

[frosty wadi]

Literally just play something else

Server issues suck but there isn’t anything you can do about it

Its not like its been down for a day or anything

[fickle edge]

man its so stupid that a t6 shield can just be disabled by some rando black tusk with emp ammo

[toxic flume]

It’s called mechanics

[still temple]

it's a stupid mechanics, an EMP pulse should only deactivate mods installed on the shield, not the shield itself which is a chunk of metal

[toxic flume]

The shield is a skill, just saying

[still temple]

well, not quite, many skill talents, even Bluescreen LMG, starts with: ”when agent deploys a non-shield skill...”

[lapis junco]

thats for balancing

[hybrid ore]

Shields are skills, there's no actual debate around that.

[still temple]

balancing it's a term which these devs knows nothing about it

[hybrid ore]

Oh so it's an armchair dev kinda day?

[still temple]

they messed up the first game, now they messed up the second one, I'm absolutely sure they'll messing up the third one

[lapis junco]

the non-shield skill thing is quite a fairly good balancing choice

[hybrid ore]

Well I've got stuff to do so can only be here sporadically, ping someone with an orange name if people go too far, y'all have fun.

[lapis junco]

insync was stupid easy to proc post nerf

pre*

[still temple]

only for us, for NPCs does not applies; using a pulse, any of it, on NPCs wouldn't deactivate their shields, just disorientate and slow down a bit for a few seconds, depending on players' skill tier

[opal radish]

Yeah best talent pre nerf rip strained optimist

Now rip insync

[kind veldt]

the only NPCs with deployable shields are rikers that cant deploy them if they are EMP'd

[still temple]

and cleaners shields what are then?

[kind veldt]

not skills? same as hyenas and riker heavy that heavy shield as part of their base loudout

[lapis junco]

theres alot of things NPC can do that players cant

its kinda the point

give me the nail gun shield loadout plz

[hybrid ore]

You can actually shatter the cleaner/etc shields and they can't bring them back out.
so clearly those are not the same.

[delicate sigil]

Should I just go after missions and bounties or should I be a support player?

[kind veldt]

do think nailgun would make a good exotic

[hybrid ore]

No reason you can't do both.
answer calls for backup and also have a shooty shooty kill build.

[delicate sigil]

👍

[still temple]

true, but most of the time they are killed without shredding the shield first, because those shields are extremely resistant, even the riot shield from cleaners, made of plastic

[lapis junco]

and give it aimbot, like the nailguns the NPCs have

[hybrid ore]

I do want some more weird Exotics, but it wouldn't super fit the tone.

[delicate sigil]

Also, is having really high armor compared to my health useful?

[frosty wadi]

Im just gonna say

[toxic flume]

I really wanna see alpha bridge come back to Div2

[frosty wadi]

A glass shield is quite obviously not a skill

Just saying

[hybrid ore]

Blinder out here with the hot takes.
next up: cleaners use fire.

[frosty wadi]

Holy moly

[kind veldt]

honestly there's plenty of room in there for that, making a crossbow MMR, big game revolver as rifle and other stuff to break the mold

[hybrid ore]

Okay smoke bomb time.
Best div1 gearset (either already or converted) as a rifle focus build for div2?

[still temple]

I want my D3-FNC build 🙃

[lapis junco]

striker

[toxic flume]

They have bulwark for that

[hybrid ore]

No I mean something that doesn't make me want to jump off a bridge.

[lapis junco]

in all seriousness probably pred

[still temple]

not even close

[toxic flume]

It’s close enough

[hybrid ore]

Haven't we kinda already got a Predators Mark in div2?

[toxic flume]

OD

Kinda

[lapis junco]

give me any set of requirements and i could probably make striker fit it

[kind veldt]

predator is a fake gun set that is actually about bleed
OD is a fake bleed set that is actually about the gun

[lapis junco]

a extremely watered down one yea

[still temple]

weak, tried that, not usable above Challenging

[hybrid ore]

Skill build in CD :p

[hybrid ore]

If you can't make a build work above challenging, that is on you.
a full white setup works on Heroic with enough practice.

[toxic flume]

I really wanna see a healer build exotic AR in the game like how capacitor is for skill dmg

[lapis junco]

I made a random pieces purple build do Lincoln with all directives. OD defo works above chall

[kind veldt]

OD is fine

[hybrid ore]

Ah Lincoln runs. I miss when those were the "testing stuff out IRL" times.

[lapis junco]

yea this was like 3 years ago maybe even 4

[kind veldt]

the small issues it has is mostly the status effect roll and backpack

[still temple]

TTK too long, damage per tick too low, not for me

[kind veldt]

change those, and it's fine

[delicate sigil]

Any tips on how to make my blueprints stronger, even my high end ones are really weak at the moment

[lapis junco]

healer striker existed for a bit. it was okay ish

[kind veldt]

OD is NOT a gear set about bleed, it's about ammo bonus

[hybrid ore]

also OD is incredibly annoying if you're trying to keep an eye on your ammo counter.

I appreciate the free ammo, but gosh I wish there was a separate counter when it's active.

[kind veldt]

just kill everything and you dont have to worry about that

[toxic flume]

I mean 😪 it does have a bleed ammo icon and it’s highlighted orange when you have some

[kind veldt]

but on more serious note, chanign backpack to give more ammo for your and your team and 2 piece bonus to mag size would make set more interesting

[still temple]

Lincoln is the easiest mission in the game, mostly liniar, 2-3 spawns, could be done only with pistol

[lapis junco]

kinda hard when you have 0 dmg lol

[hybrid ore]

You really need to let this go that you aren't very good with OD.

sometimes a build just doesn't click with people, that's 100% fine.

[lapis junco]

lincoln only purpose was to test shit or farm it when targetted loot was right

countdown just replaced it

[kind veldt]

well it has multiple bosses

it has 5 bosses?

[lapis junco]

4 or 5 yea

[kind veldt]

so definetly good for loot

[still temple]

oh, of course, I'm not using that trash build anymore, there are many other builds that can do the job more effectively 👍

[still temple]

4 bosses, one in the inner yard, and three at the end

[kind veldt]

arent 4 at the end?

[hybrid ore]

Lincoln's main purpose now is to trivialise the "kill named enemies" weekly project.
there are 100% 4 in total.

1 heavy at the start, 2 lighter from the back at the end, one heavy from the left also at the end.

(I ran it 4 times in the last 2 weeks :p)

[kind veldt]

i lost count how many times i ran last 2 weeks

[still temple]

I ran it 4 times in a day for project (four chars tho) 🙃

[hybrid ore]

It's like poetry, it rhymes.

[kind veldt]

call me weirdo but i kinda miss OD giving explosive ammo and at flat 30 total

it actually made running certain weapons with low mags better

[still temple]

OD could be paired with Pestilence to maximize combined damage from bleed and plague

[winged shale]

Did they make it so you can't hide in the room anymore on floor 100 if summit

[still temple]

yes, you have to enter in the room with hunters

[winged shale]

why did they do that I can't use that strategy now

[still temple]

brilliant devs, some would say 🙃

[winged shale]

Some days I question why I till play div 2

[still temple]

that makes two of us 🤣

[winged shale]

Atp I'm just waiting for the Conley outfit

[kind veldt]

Already made a build using OD, pestilence and vile

[frosty wadi]

Its because the actual game itself is good, they just simply have a thing for not improving mid to trash gear so a lot of people have no reason to make more unique builds

More unique builds tend to just be worse

[kind veldt]

Its okay, gimmick is decent, not a big fan of LMGs but works

[winged shale]

All i see in this game now are strikers, OD, all red, and tank builds

[still temple]

me too, but feels too weak, honestly, not even close to Predator's Mark fron Div1

[kind veldt]

Because its not about bleed

[frosty wadi]

A lot of skill builds are either boring, not used much, or are just worse than other skill builds

[kind veldt]

Bleed is not good here because of predators

Man i rarely see anyone running OD outside of myself

[frosty wadi]

Whats od again

[kind veldt]

Ongoing directive, the hollow point ammo one

[still temple]

it's about status effect, and bleed is a status effect

[winged shale]

I mainly see it in countdown

Outside of that na

[kind veldt]

It has status effect as part of the gimmick for sure, the power of the set doesnt come from that

[frosty wadi]

Imo the only actual fun lmg for anyone not into lmgs is bluescreen

[winged shale]

What about iron lung

[kind veldt]

In general division LMGs didnt catch me

Prefer my shotguns and rifle

[frosty wadi]

I mean I guess its fine but bluescreen: looks great, feels really easy to use with a fast reload, and has a unique talent that when you learn how to use it makes it very easy to use

[winged shale]

If anything the builds in this game mainly run EB after buff, Ouro, or elmos

[frosty wadi]

Oreo 💤

[still temple]

tried EB already, barely usable, goes back to stash

[winged shale]

Almost forgot every sniperbuild just uses white death

[frosty wadi]

???

[winged shale]

Even with dtoc

[frosty wadi]

Its better than elmos after the buff

Slapping dtoc on it alone improved it massively

[winged shale]

Elmos does a bit more dps but EB has higher base dps

[still temple]

not enough, you miss a lot of shots until the talent proc

[frosty wadi]

That sounds like a skill issue

[winged shale]

Fr

[frosty wadi]

You also don’t need the talent 24/7

[winged shale]

The talent is good but EB is usable with out it

[still temple]

nope, i can shot a fly between eyes from 50 yards 😄

[frosty wadi]

I was using it fine without any handling mods or buffs

[winged shale]

Also anybody not able to optimize health dmg for guns?

[fluid meadow]

Imagine recoil control in the easiest game to have recoil

[fluid meadow]

Can't optimise past your library %

[still temple]

EB talent consist of two parts: first, stabilizing the weapon while you are firing it, second, headshots that delay damage taken; I'm talking about first part 👍

[winged shale]

Thx

[fluid meadow]

It improves accuracy not stability

[toxic flume]

I don’t have issues proc EB’s tenacity

^

[winged shale]

Your on pc how can you not aim with EB

[fluid meadow]

Console is easy as well

[winged shale]

True but I still do have trouble sometimes

[still temple]

I'm not saying I can't aim with EB, I'm saying there are weapons more accurate than this

[frosty wadi]

Its certainly not the easiest but its definitely not a problem for the gun

Its the trade off of the gun

[toxic flume]

Controlling weapons in shooters is easy to deal with. Especially on division.

[fluid meadow]

If you're used to elmo recoil ig

All the same to me

[frosty wadi]

Elmo and its zero recoil moment

[toxic flume]

True

[fluid meadow]

Even bighorn is easy as well despite people bashing it for its recoil
