What's a good build to run solo heroic + 5 directives for controls points etc

[kind veldt]

dunno i matchmaked with everyone at this point, some nights it does find a lot of people on asian servers despite me being on the other side of the pacific

[inner elbow]

Which is the lowest paying activity iirc

(nobody cares about target practice)

[full zinc]

4d heroic cp is a full level, and something like sleeping giant is only a couple minutes max

quite a few that are easy to repeat tho

[inner elbow]

And Navy Plaza

[azure lintel]

Yeah but you have to run to them. And resetting them takes easily 30+ seconds going into the menu then running to them again.

[full zinc]

just make sure you target something close to a safehouse

can get good xp just running an area from cp to cp and hit everything in between. the xp rebalance wasnt too bad

its faster to reset cp solo

[azure lintel]

Do strongholds get more xp? I think I can do dua in like 11 or 13 minutes

[inner elbow]

Very slightly more

I think it's 10%

[full zinc]

ill post an xp chart in #ask-td2-community

[inner elbow]

But it's still not worth it

[azure lintel]

Yeah I got to season 100 in like 12 hours. Doing league and golden bullet and such.

Farming lincoln.

[inner elbow]

Man, Global Events really spoiled the core gameplay

Nobody (that I know of, who used to play actively) wants to play outside of GEs now

[azure lintel]

So a mission is about the same as a control point on heroic. And I think I can do a cp in a little faster time using one shot body shot.

[full zinc]

yeah thats definitely the play if grinding xp. and solo youre one shotting anything without a helmet.

[quick plaza]

man why does lefty not take any camos 😭

[kind veldt]

are you sure? i remember it does come with a base camo but you can change it no?

[quick plaza]

for me it jut stays the bloody red even if i changei t

almost considering just taking the 10% less damage nad slow and putting sledgehammer on a spas-12

[hybrid ore]

Why not another ACS? Spas-12 fires a heck of a lot slower.

I assume this is for a Strikers build, because isn't it always.

[quick plaza]

oh nah, i run umbra (though considering a vile-directive to go with iron lung)

[dark sand]

Dang as a new player in division 2 its gonna take some time getting used to ... builds and finding where to get it

[quick plaza]

countdown is the answer

[dark sand]

Really ?? ... man thanks for the tip

😋

[quick plaza]

you can literally focus whatever drops you want (including gear sets) to get something together 🙂

[dark sand]

man I gotta learn about tinkering blueprints .. how to get this or that

Its a lot to take in ... but I can be able to manage .. I hope maybe .. or maybe not that so

[bronze sluice]

who is the USC 45 for?

[kind veldt]

what do you mean? it's a rifle

[bronze sluice]

its an ump 45 carbine with a 20 rounder

who wants that

it serves no purpose

[undone timber]

It's a firearm

You shoot shit with it

[torpid tendon]

It's a firearm

You can't kill s* with it

[knotty oyster]

Hey guys

The mission: Air and Space Museum

Does anyone know how to find players to do this mission?

[lunar hare]

Call for backup

[knotty oyster]

I've been organizing the match for a few minutes and don't think

[bronze sluice]

start the mission then call for backup

don't matchmake

[knotty oyster]

How do I start alone?

[wet igloo]

walk into the mission area

[bronze sluice]

walk in

really thought that one was clear

[knotty oyster]

only have the option to organize a match

[bronze sluice]

just try walking forward

towards the mission

[knotty oyster]

Oh, thanks

[bronze sluice]

how did you get this far without knowing?

[lunar hare]

don't be rude, I don't even know myself how I got where I am rn

[knotty oyster]

how can I tell you

[wet igloo]

lowk props to you for making that far without knowing

[knotty oyster]

I played a little in 2020 and never again

[lunar hare]

returning player

[bronze sluice]

you need maybe 20 minutes of gameplay to know this

[knotty oyster]

I came back yesterday and I'm really lost

[wet igloo]

very lost?

[knotty oyster]

but thanks for the help

[knotty oyster]

Yep Lol

[wet igloo]

dw it be like that

[bronze sluice]

heres a tip, try iron horse, its really easy and its a good way to get started :]

[knotty oyster]

thx, going to try

[bronze sluice]

nonono it was a joke

[torpid tendon]

ISAC: Warning, rogue agent nearby .

[bronze sluice]

I'm sorry

[bronze sluice]

*free loot

[knotty oyster]

Lol XD

[bronze sluice]

on a serious note do you have the dlc?

bcs if you do I reccomend countdown, that is non-ironically the best way to grind mass amounts of loot including named and exotics

[knotty oyster]

i only started playing again because I bought the dlc yesterday, it was really cheap

[wet igloo]

lucky you

[bronze sluice]

did you skip to level 30?

[knotty oyster]

but I want to do the story missions first

[knotty oyster]

nop

i'm level 7

[wet igloo]

oeuff

[bronze sluice]

alr when you get past the dlc countdown will unlock (top right of your map)

its right above dz east (purple toxic symbol)

[knotty oyster]

there's a hunt for Keener on the map

[wet igloo]

thats the dlc

[bronze sluice]

thats the dlc

lmao

[knotty oyster]

near the white house

[wet igloo]

thats the heli that can take you to ny (aka lvl 30 skip)

[knotty oyster]

Oh

Thx

[bronze sluice]

do you have any other questions?

[knotty oyster]

No, thanks for the help

[bronze sluice]

You're welcome, if you ever have anymore questions people will be here :]

[hybrid jay]

im a returning player whats the best content to do for some loot

ive been matchmaking decent forever

[kind veldt]

Countdown

[tired granite]

is there a button to open all my 99+ apparel boxes? 😆 the animations is annoying

[undone timber]

No

[swift temple]

I try to open them every 10 or so. Otherwise it is so boring sitting there just pressing that button and listening to that annoying sound

[dark sand]

Anyone know If I can save my cache

[civic ridge]

Anyone else getting BSODs after yesterday's update?

[unborn ravine]

I didn't realize the apparel event was a rerun. Sad times.

[magic hollow]

I am playing for the first ever, I am at the white house with 1st skill point, should I be worried about how to spend them or can I change them later?

[hybrid ore]

@magic hollow Nah no reason to worry, you'll have more than enough to get them all by the end of it.

[magic hollow]

[cobalt quarry]

Hey is this the cod server

[hybrid ore]

No, this is not the CoD server.

[undone timber]

[lunar hare]

welp, no luck with my fifth incursion run 😔

[opal radish]

[torpid tendon]

I got ouro+bullet king in my first incursion. I'm just waiting for something bad to happen today 🥲

It's the karma

[undone timber]

Gate strat run incoming

[noble tendon]

Removed all appareil, but can't see my new Catharsis mask, is there an option somewhere i ticked ?

[rain gate]

Hey all, just started playing the game as brother has convinced me to give it a go. Wondering if story progresses for both of us if we play together or if I'll have to repeat it again once I play solo.

Also first time playing a shooter on console as I'm 99.9% PC player generally and it's taking me a minute to adjust for sure. Respect to those who can aim with analogs.

[hearty siren]

Fastest way to get matador?

[opal radish]

We have the expert to give advice

[hybrid ore]

Yep! You can "show mask" if you go to your Mask then options.

[noble tendon]

Thanks !

[slow ocean]

Mask visuals are off by default, you should see an "options" button prompt in your inventory, select that and scroll down until you see the option to display your mask

[hybrid ore]

Since it's DZ locked you can get it from there, Named Item Caches, or sometimes the Countdown vendor if they have it, but NOT Countdown itself.

[hybrid ore]

Progression should be shared.

[noble tendon]

Got it, need to open inventory and hold "G"

[dusty iron]

why did they turbo buff the summit floor 100?

feels mostly impossible rn

[hybrid ore]

I've not done it since the change, I was under the impression that it was pretty much "can't hide in the hallway" anymore.

Did they bring back the 7 Hunters?

[primal steeple]

I wish we could put the hood down on Aaron's outfit

[dusty iron]

yeah no hallway, not sure about how many hunters but one stinger hive and u done for

[hybrid ore]

I assume it's still "group size+1" for the Hunters, which isn't too bad.
Just gotta tweak your tactics, can't funnel them as much.

try joining a farming group for them, they'll know what to do, mostly.

[dusty iron]

Aight ill put up a lfg

[hollow acorn]

Does everyone get the same weekly invaded stronghold reset?

[tender wave]

Yes

[full zinc]

Best way I found was using a status immune cc eclipse build (foam/shock traps) , scorpio w/ team buffs opportunistic, survivalist, sledgehammer.
It is team strat tho and requires dps agent(s) to work well. The foam really pulls the teeth out of the hunters

[dusty iron]

Yup, got it to work after some trys, foam and oxidizers and dps

But yeah that does sound good

[quick plaza]

man what is up with the amount of countdown hosts not starting today

[quick plaza]

do certain masks not put it down like with other hooded outfits?

[undone timber]

[primal steeple]

I can't even put on a mask

[undone timber]

Not this one

Apparel masks don't apply to kajikas and keeners outfits which is a shame

Gear masks do though but that messes up eyewear

[wispy burrow]

I use Eyewear to compliment certain masks, like heft grade A, I'll wear a pair that fakes darker lenses

[undone timber]

@quaint acorn @simple ridge
Deeply apologize for the pings

[sick thicket]

deeply

[hybrid ore]

It's honestly best overall to send a PM to ModMail, that way it alerts the whole team.

[undone timber]

Do you just message it and it relays the message you send

[hybrid ore]

Pretty much!

[undone timber]

Ahhh I see I'll keep it in mind

[spare lodge]

hi just want to ask if chameleon is worth rerolling or should i just optimize? im using striker build... (or is chameleon not that good of an exotic and i should look for others)

[undone timber]

Ideally in that exotic slot you want an Elmo or an ouro

Chameleon just doesn't compare tbh

[spare lodge]

oh okay thanks for the answer

[swift temple]

Chameleon drops are insane. I probably have gotten like 20 drops

[sudden aurora]

i bought division 2 from steam and rn the nyc dlc is on sale in the ubisoft store so if i buy is via the ubisoft store will it count for my steam version ?

[swift temple]

In like 2 weeks

[swift temple]

Not sure. But just found this, https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/comments/17ypjhn/dlc_on_steam_and_ubiconnect/

[spare lodge]

is ouroboros incursion drop only?

[swift temple]

yes

[hybrid ore]

Actually fun fact: Bounty Named Enemies have a high chance to drop Chameleon, even if there's a different Targeted Loot active.

They're a fairly high-rate farm for Exotic Components, although not as good as Countdown.

[swift temple]

I hate that I have 1 missing relic. Driving me crazy 🙂 Missed it in the side mission. Now I am just hoping for a bounty that brings me in there again

[copper quail]

Does HG gloves ever drop with weapon damage as their main perk? I got like 20 of them now, and they're all armor

[random quest]

Core attribute types are fixed (yes)

[gritty pagoda]

LOL - three Countdowns in a row as soon as the main objective is completed it crashes to desktop. "Thousands of bugs fixed" my ass.

I love that game mode, but Ubi really screwed the pooch on stability with it

[torpid tendon]

Dude, I can't even play countdown if I have the stinger hunter outfit on lol.... Took me some time to figure out

[gritty pagoda]

interesting, that's the outfit my main character has. are you saying there's a link between it and crashing?

[torpid tendon]

I'm not saying there is... but I can't even join the match

[gritty pagoda]

I never have an issue joining, or starting, but crashes are frequent, and 80% of the time are right as the main objective completes

[torpid tendon]

Yeah, I heard it's something related with trying to claim the final loot (locked safe).

[gritty pagoda]

I never would have thought it could be linked to a cosmetic, but I suppose it's worth an experiment to see if changing it out makes it any more stable

[undone timber]

its the final safe

certain ones crash people

[rancid token]

I have a question.

[small spear]

asking questions 101: don't ask if you can ask the question, just ask the question

[rancid token]

I can’t help my brain it’s a trauma response

But my question is, is it dumb to prioritize armor over weapon damage

[small spear]

in pve, if you're just getting your feet wet at hard content like legendary, it may be helpful to run armor on a few cores instead of damage. however, it gives you a false sense of security unless you make sure your build synergize with those cores. running armor cores without a shield loses a lot of potential synergy, and in legendary for example you get shredded no matter how much armor you have

so it's just so you become a little bit tankier. not really dumb, just less efficient until you get to know the game a bit better

in pvp it all changes though

[kind veldt]

in a scale of full red to full blue, it's better to run a mostly red with a bit of blues. Full blue can make your shield almost invincible but at harder contents your damage will be so low that you wont be able to outpace the amount of enemies specially in group content

there are a couple of things that let you mix both like memento backpack

[rancid token]

I mean my build still shreds in pvp I haven’t tested it on legendary yet but I run 6 blues with striker the memento backpack and ceska for my holster and I manage to only lose a bit of dps compared to a full red build

[small spear]

pvp and pve builds are completely different

[rancid token]

I ran heroic with my current build and I didn’t fail by myself

[small spear]

legendary and heroic are also completely different...

[undone timber]

legendary is an entirely different ballgame

[rancid token]

Trust me I know that I have completed every legendary mission more then once

[small spear]

if you care about legendary that is

[undone timber]

that and you might wanna drop some blues and consider PFE

[small spear]

that's not saying much, i'm talking about efficiency

[rancid token]

The only point for legendary at this point is leveling up and weekly projects

[small spear]

i carry and know the strats for each one

but it's not really a contest. i answered your original question. it's just down to efficiency

[undone timber]

people enjoy the challenge and the cosmetics are cool too

but yeah it's just a lot nicer to have it done fast and not slow

[small spear]

if people run full red, they know what they're doing unless they don't. then it's a matter of them not knowing how to keep themselves alive. people also die a lot running blues too on the other hand.

so it's not really dumb to run blues or not

[rancid token]

I have a tank build that I run in legendary and the enemies almost never break my armor or my shield

[undone timber]

the problem with tank builds is as above^

your damage just won't be able to compete

[rancid token]

While yes that’s understandable if my ally’s who are fleshy don’t have to worry about having agro they can work to their fully capacity

[undone timber]

a misconception about tanks is they draw fire but in practice they don't

npcs aggro whoever is dealing the most damage

so tanks are pretty much dead weight

[full zinc]

or undead weight in this case

[rancid token]

I guarantee when I stand in front of them with my shield and they can’t hit anyone but me I have their attention

[undone timber]

[full zinc]

best aggro tank in the game is a high level decoy

or an effective nego player

[undone timber]

[undone timber]

they won't be aiming for you

[real creek]

Ahhh the old I'm the tank thing...

[small spear]

need to see gameplay

[undone timber]

besides they dont all pour out from the front always

[small spear]

i'd love to see how fast you guys do birdhouse

[undone timber]

manning?

[real creek]

yus

[small spear]

it's the best stage that highlights a tank's weakness where they spawn troops at relatively unpredictable thresholds and it all happens so fast you'll quickly know if you can make it or you don't

[undone timber]

ahhh

[serene elk]

They added Mosquito for a reason guys that one enemy you pull every 3 and a half seconds really draws their fire

[tender wave]

If you're blocking them from shooting your teammates, then you're also blocking your teammates from shooting them...

[serene elk]

I mean tank isn’t entirely useless in legendary

If your team falls you are the one who can pick them up

[undone timber]

not entirely but I'd take eclipse over it all day

muh foam

[real creek]

Goopy daddy.

[serene elk]

I am the eclipse player 😎

I run shock trap because I love how they disperse

It’s just something that clicks in my brain when it deploys

[real creek]

I sticky emp/shock/blinder depending on room.

[serene elk]

I mean when it’s drones and dogs I have to switch but

[undone timber]

support players the unsung heroes

[serene elk]

Otherwise its shock make brain happy

[undone timber]

end screen stats doing them dirty

[serene elk]

Carried by the person doing the least damage fr

[undone timber]

FI, OD, EP my beloveds

[serene elk]

Can’t even apply Scorpio

Unless Determined

Even then it’s useless

[small spear]

support CC i always take

even then i find sometimes people miscategorize their builds as "tank builds" even though it's really just a dps hybrid with some pfe

and that is leagues better than an actual tank build

[serene elk]

Setting aside useless pvp the only dps hybrid build I can think of with use is the one where you stay in Feiser room

[tropic compass]

Whats the paradise lost soundtrack called that plays when outside of combat?

[undone timber]

red/blue hybrids are pretty common

speaking of soundtracks I always wanted the rogue agent and Coney hunter themes released

[real creek]

I haven't seen you CC ever before tho.

[undone timber]

busted

🚨headhunter🚨

[tender wave]

Dead counts as controlled

[serene elk]

The best form of cc

Mad cause you got cc’d for 10 second by a character in a video game? Just shoot them before that

Be better

[small spear]

you've played with me for less than a month...

but it's true i spend the majority of my time as damage dealer

[opal radish]

Neither I have seen you heal before

[dark sand]

dang homie

😲

[wind lynx]

WHY when i am playing some random mission that has some loot drop (now potomac) barely drops any striker pieces? Like i have basically zero pieces on second run and if i have some loot drop, it is something completely irrelevant.

[hybrid ore]

I assume you're talking about Targeted Loot.
the way it works is that it's an extra drop on top of what enemies are already going to drop, and to increase the chance you need to add on Directives and make sure that you're playing on Challenging or higher.

[small spear]

if it's not striker targeted, it's going to drop randomly from a pool that's so big hoping to get striker from it is unrealistic

which I'm assuming is the case since he said "some random mission"

[hybrid ore]

I took that as to mean non-selectable TL.
If that is the case and you want a build faster, Countdown is going to be a lot more efficient.

[wind lynx]

It is striker related and i play heroic four directives. I got only three pieces on the last section, thats it.

And i like to play solo, countdown is crashing for me lol.

[hybrid ore]

The issue with farming in regular missions is that there's a lower density of enemies, which is part of the reason why Countdown is so effective.

What is happening right now is that you're experiencing what farming was like before CD.

[wind lynx]

Or playing with more people the mission would i guess enhance the chance. I decided to put together tank striker build for gun/run and i need two more pieces, kneepads and holster both critical hit damage.

[small spear]

playing with more people increases spawn numbers in heroic

[wind lynx]

but also chances to get the right pieces cause more people have more drops.

[hybrid ore]

Do make sure to ask people to drop stuff for you, most tend to nuke out at the end of a mission/when their inventory is at 150.

now that we don't even need to go back to the BoO to library/expertise stuff, it's even more likely.

[wind lynx]

Yeah for sure.

Now if i don´t wanna go fully meta with striker, is vector/banshee with fast hands a good choice for striker/tank? Since i will reload really fast and stuff.

[hybrid ore]

The basic idea of Striker is to use one gun to build up stacks and the other to kill stuff, most people use something like an acs-12 (shotgun, since pellets count each as a stack) and the other gun is normally some kind of AR, since a little more range.

What guns you choose to use to do those 2 jobs are really up to you, just as long as your stacks are able to be maintained.
If you can't maintain the stacks, honestly a different build might work better. Maintain within the same fight I mean.

[wind lynx]

Well Banshee and vector are fast as fuck to be honest, but i was thinking if a talent with critical hands would be a good choice for that.

fast hands

lmao sorry.

[hybrid ore]

lol all good.
yeah Fast Hands isn't a bad Talent, although on SMG's I prefer a damage one since it already reloads fast enough for my playstyle.

Strained is never a bad idea on a fast firing gun.

[wind lynx]

what about outsider?

[hybrid ore]

It basically turns an SMG into an AR's range, which is nice and all but it also does remove the option for a different Talent.

[wind lynx]

I was thinking about putting fast hands cause vector goes by so fast and if i would turn the vector into smg-bullet king with that, the stacks would be always up no matter what

Now of course i need to be close to enemies, but since i am aiming for striker/memento tank that does not sound like a problem

[hybrid ore]

You could use the Vector as a kinda "both jobs" gun, where it builds stacks and deals damage.
what's your ideal build, re: gear pieces?

[wind lynx]

Well so far it goes like this:

Memento backpack - then on each piece of striker armor core. Grupo gloves. Since i am already up to 58% with hit chance, grupo and most of the pieces will have hit damage which keeps me around at 150

[small spear]

it's a good build

[wind lynx]

The question though is if i will have everywhere armor piece, the damage will be lower - now using striker chest on free roam heroic is not ideal, obliterate builds faster but since i will have lower damage and armor cores, the enemies will give me the striker stacks faster and i will make it up the damage.

I mean that is my idea of it.

[hybrid ore]

Yeah those armour cores are a bit much, honestly just like 1, plus the Memento means that you'll have a T3 shield.

[small spear]

yeah don't use striker chest. it's not worth in heroic.

you can roll off some armor tbh. find a balance through your own gameplay, maybe 2 armor 4 red is a good enough balance, can be a bit more tweaked but 6 armor is too much

and with a shield, 6 armor is definitely too much because you're effectively wasting a skill tier for the shield

[wind lynx]

Well my idea of this is basically run around with less cover and less shield. Shield or cover only in a critical moment, so i wanna have strong armor and build more with memento.

[hybrid ore]

the absolute meta build (without using Ouroboros, and not for an Incursion) is 4pc Striker, Coyotes, and a Ceska chest w/Obliterate.
if you want to use Memento instead, I'd swap out the knees for Foxs and get some extra dtooc in there.

ceska is still good for there even if you have a solid CHC without it, just means more CHD rolls.

[small spear]

if you don't use a shield, you want to use another skill that gives you even more value than the shield does

[hybrid ore]

If no shield, then I'd say something like a healy drone.
only problem is that with Striker, you are going to have to get up close anyway, so a shield is really nice.

[wind lynx]

i mean for sure i wanna go with shield. Like i will breach a control point with a strong shield (armor cores) and will kill people fast - then will grap memento stacks, will put down shield and just storm deeper.

[rocky sparrow]

@hybrid ore simple question,

why the game cant do anything to the cheaters in game?

[tender wave]

If you have Eagle Bearer it works well with striker memento, a couple of blue cores is enough given the eb 80% damage reduction

[kind veldt]

honestly think hunter's fury looks like would fit what you want more

but i just ogt here so doesnt know if that option was presented

[torpid tendon]

Hmmmm... Apparently the summit legendary + 10 directives is the best way to get good mods....

[low plank]

is the glasswork skin for the ''The white death'' weapon still available in game?

[timber hatch]

There's no reason to try and use less shield when you've already got it. Just use it, it costs nothing and has virtually no cooldown. By trying to use it less you'll only get yourself in those critical situations more often.

[fiery cloud]

Hey Rivens, Kettle, Raucey

[hybrid ore]

You'd have to ask the devs, we're just volunteers.

@swift temple You're looking for #lfg-playstation for the regular game. Good luck Agent

[full zinc]

You would need the ceska more than ever if running memento. Foxs would be a damage loss

[hybrid ore]

I honestly don't like Memento w/Strikers but that sounds about right.

[full zinc]

Even with ceska you would need 1-2 chc rolls depending on weapon.

One of the few drawbacks with memento

[hybrid ore]

I think in the case of Vector being added in that'd be fairly minimal.

[full zinc]

Yeah smg may be a bit different . I didnt note what weapon was being considered

[hybrid ore]

w/Fast Hands and Striker, that Vector is going to ruin someone's ammo economy.

that extra little bit from the SHD watch might actually be required. That's something no one has ever said before.

[lofty eagle]

tried to queue for conflict pvp and only 1 person queued

is this game dead?

[kind veldt]

if you mean conflict, it's hit and miss outside of peak hours, in general for DZ and everything else game is pretty populated

[low plank]

is the third stat on the Ouroboros random just like with the elmo's engine?

[lofty eagle]

so noone plays conflict? im new to the game, lvl 20 and wanted to try a chill pvp (not the extraction mode)

bummer that i couldnt find people. i thought this game was more popular 😦

[tender wave]

yes, this is now true of all exotic weapons

[random quest]

Yeah, your issue is trying to pvp while not max level. People play at lvl 40 my friend, you're still doing the story.

Conflict is 4v4, so you're matchmaking to try and find 7 other people who are not only leveling and queueing for Conflict - but also lvl 20.
Conflict is active at max, enjoy the story friend

[azure lintel]

@small spear any advice on builds for capital building legendary?

[small spear]

for consistent clears?

[azure lintel]

Yeah. We used to do seekers/turrets/drones skill builds.

[small spear]

you can do hunter's fury. this is where being aggressive rewards you greatly. you can use a hunter's fury build with a few blue cores and run scorpio

[azure lintel]

For two people? Or need a party?

[small spear]

two people work just fine

[azure lintel]

You have avideo for that on your channel?

Cause that seems like it's gonna be very hard.

[small spear]

i don't have one myself but i have one from another guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVgVp_QteVU

this is using blue striker but hunter's fury will work similarly

follow the strats in this video and rush doors, this will skip spawns and/or get dangerous enemies before they get a chance to spread

[azure lintel]

Oof. I don't think I'd be that talented lol

[small spear]

there are probably a few more runs but the gist is you play a slightly tankier build and use scorpio

[azure lintel]

And he loads a skill build with the purple stuff too

[small spear]

this isn't speedrunning per se, but just being aggressive and not let enemies use their skills

[azure lintel]

Yeah

[small spear]

for that one you don't need to do it, just open the door and rush normally

basically ignore that part and focus on everything else

[azure lintel]

We used skill builds and it took us over an hour before lol

[small spear]

yeah. try blue hunter's fury or blue striker

it's a lot comfier than full red striker

[azure lintel]

Is there a build for that on the spreadsheet?

[small spear]

yeah, i can also paste it here: hunter's fury

[azure lintel]

Yeah I seen that one. So just everything same except wd to armor?

[small spear]

yeah, how many cores you want as armor is up to you

i recommend a 3/3 split

[azure lintel]

And do I want hs or crit?

[small spear]

crit

headshot is speedrunning and you have to play a lot more carefully

[azure lintel]

Ok thanks. I'll see about making the build but I'm sure I'll be back. I suck at legendary and everything that can go wrong will.

[small spear]

hope this helps you a bit. capitol is slightly easier than DUA imo if you play aggressive

[azure lintel]

We did wind up doing dua the other day. But I was using strikers dps.

52 chc 173 chd. Don't think you can go higher than that.

[small spear]

yeah that's standard

you'll probably come to realize each legendary will favor different playstyles, as a whole or sometimes even within the same legendary

but capitol as a whole except the boss will favor aggression

[azure lintel]

Well you won't see me doing tidal again. or zoo lol

Unless it's with you lol

[dense saffron]

If it’s headhunters fury go with headshot damage

[small spear]

hmu anytime

i just recommend crit for him rn cuz it's a bit more forgiving

[dense saffron]

True, that works too

[azure lintel]

Yeah cause I am not the greatest lol

[small spear]

you can only get better 😉

it's only time

[azure lintel]

You'd think by over 2k shd I'd be by now. lol

[dense saffron]

It’s fine, I still remember the times when I died in this game 😆

[small spear]

i still have the DUA video from 2 years ago if you want to see my beginnings

that's my honest start

[azure lintel]

lol

[small spear]

correction: 3 years ago

[real creek]

You getting old bro

[heady bramble]

Anyone having issues connecting?

[restive crater]

Mine is taking forever to launch lol

[carmine sky]

Holy crap I actually won a game of conflict, it's a miracle.

[rain hedge]

today i learned that if a friendly takeover captain gets burned while reviving you, it will break his status as a captain making you essentially just ded

[honest wedge]

hey, can yall confirm if expertise works in countdown?

or is it disabled in countdown? saw someone in here the other day saying it didn't apply in CD

[kind veldt]

pretty sure it works on countdown

[honest wedge]

that's great! I'll wait to see if other contradict that but it would be great if it did

[real creek]

They probably meant conflict. Expertise levels and SHD don't work in there.

[azure lintel]

for real?

[honest wedge]

thanks for confirming yall, hope everyone is doing well!

[rain hedge]

yep, guessing the burning status does something to like the status of the friendlt captain

[carmine sky]

Seems like a pretty weird restriction considering build power is active in pvp.

[kind veldt]

the point is ot make PVP more even

[carmine sky]

Pvp isn't even whatsoever though lol. Any player without endgame stats stands 0 chance.

[kind veldt]

more even doesnt mean perfectly even

[sick thicket]

ouroborus striker it out my boy

thats ur only option lol. unless ur just the better 1v player. ik ppl with 14 expertise that can hang with the best players @ 25 expertise

[lapis junco]

not true

[carmine sky]

Yea I mean I get that, and I also understand if you take builds away it just becomes another tps shooter clone. At the same time though, someone who has put significantly more time into their build vs someone just starting out/still farming and optimizing is far too noticeable. When I unload a whole mag into someone and they turn around and double tap me, just doesn't make for a good time.

[sick thicket]

conflict is usually a matter of who has the better skill build users on their team lol

or if the other team has none its free

i prefer dz pvp over conflict sooo much more. lot of meh players in conflict just cheese

[carmine sky]

I just dislike any type of pvp skill is flushed out the window cause "Lol my build better" it's frustrating and makes me not wanna play. Least in Destiny no matter what build you're running 3 headshots from a handcannon you're dead.

[sick thicket]

ehh not true necessarily

[frosty wadi]

Hes still got a point

[sick thicket]

ur on console so its definitely more movement reliant

[frosty wadi]

Div pvp is too focused on builds

[sick thicket]

ifu can get really good at strafing you'll climb you way up the skillgap ridiculously

[sick thicket]

sure. i dont see why not, it's a looter shooter

everything is too focused on builds? go into an incursion with an eclipse protocol build

[frosty wadi]

Just because its a looter shooter doesn’t mean the pvp has to be dogwater

[sick thicket]

its not dogwater u just have to dedicate a little brainrot to hang

[frosty wadi]

Wild how you completely change the subject

Pvp is ass because its literally just rock paper scissors with the same few builds swapping to make sure you aren’t being countered

[sick thicket]

how much do you pvp?

[carmine sky]

That'ssss not entirely true. I may not understand pvp fully and how stats work in pvp but when I'm running majority of dps build and I dump a mag into your back while you don't see me coming with an HF set and smg and it doesn't even break their shield while they turn around and merc me, I feel that's incredibly inbalanced.

[sick thicket]

or are you just totally turned off by it that you ramble on discord about how bad it is

[frosty wadi]

None because its not worth my time whatsoever because its always the same shit new day

[sick thicket]

lmfao okay then

[frosty wadi]

Its not engaging to new players at all

[sick thicket]

? a new player can hop in an incurson, farm an ouroborus reroll it til they have dtooc, farm a 4 piece striker with obliterate sokolov coyotes and slam any player on the game

idk wtf ur talking about ngl

[frosty wadi]

Pvp actively discourages new players in fact, its not even a matter of “oh I need to improve and get some better stuff first”
It’s literally just unfair if you don’t spend hours creating the perfect build just to get hard countered by someone swapping mid game

[carmine sky]

You act like you can do all of that in 1 day lmao

[sick thicket]

you think you should be able to hop in the dz and compete in 1 day?

[carmine sky]

My guy, that's my whole point.

Pvp requires you farm a build AND make sure you're rolling the right stats.

[sick thicket]

so we should be fighting with gray builds

[carmine sky]

That's not good for a structured longevity.

[frosty wadi]

The entire reason heartland is being made is to create a division pvp experience thats actually playable for new players

[kind veldt]

the start of the discussion was about removing expertise was about, making sure the gaps were absurd

[carmine sky]

It turns away the casuals, and like it or not casuals are good for a pvp community.

[sick thicket]

lot of casual speak going on rn idk man

maybe u should just step it up u know

[carmine sky]

Because I am a casual? lol

[sick thicket]

tough

[carmine sky]

Cringe.

[sick thicket]

just kick it in gear u know

[carmine sky]

Nah I'll stick to this games pvp is trash.

[sick thicket]

i mean ur on playstation which is quite frankly only 2 mil 1v1 pvp lmfao

[frosty wadi]

The only reason we are getting a pvpve division game is because they want to make an actually friendly new player experience that isn’t held back by the gameplay loop of pve division

At least with something like destiny a new player can at least go into pvp and do decent with just gun skills alone

[sick thicket]

oddly enough, every single platform has a different pvp experience

[carmine sky]

The platform I play on should not determine the experience I have lol. I have no issue destroying pc players on Destiny, Gears, Halo, or Cod. The issue is pvp in this game is meta build or lose.

[sick thicket]

or meta movement and win

[frosty wadi]

Literally the worst behavior you could have imaginable

[sick thicket]

maybe ur strafe game is kinda mid might needa go back to the lab

[frosty wadi]

^

[carmine sky]

You claim movement this movement that but what's your argument for mag dumping on someone you snuck up on and they come out of it almost unscathed when you hit every shot?

[kind veldt]

while there is some stuff you cna say such as snipers being more popular on PC than console, everyone is playing the same base

i just dont like the PVP here

[sick thicket]

the community on ps and xbox are 2 totally different games

they do not server fight on ps

[frosty wadi]

Im waiting to see heartland pvp, it could potentially be good

[sick thicket]

pvp is definitely something you have to commit a portion of your life to do on this game. that is a problem i get it

but thats the way it is rn

or, you make a really cheese build

[carmine sky]

It's discouraging cause I love the game as a whole, I just can't enjoy pvp unfortunately much as I want to.

[frosty wadi]

Having to dedicate a part of your life for a secondary gamemode that has exclusive loot

[sick thicket]

this isnt the only game thats like that lol

[frosty wadi]

Lmao

[carmine sky]

Yea but that's not a good thing man lol

[sick thicket]

then dont play it

[carmine sky]

Whoa never heard that one.

[sick thicket]

or figure out a build that u can farm that ignores all the bullshit

like headshot crit chance bighorn which chops through unbreakable

or perfect spotter vigilance

[frosty wadi]

It contains a decently large amount of exclusive loot

[sick thicket]

hell get good with a regulus

[frosty wadi]

This game does a lot of good things, pvp is not one of them

[sick thicket]

or... use what every person in the game is using atm and get an ouroborus

organic pvp is absolute dog shit im not going to lie to u. its definintely something you have to want to get into lol

[carmine sky]

My current favorite build atm is lady death with hunter's. It's fun af in pve, doesn't seem to work at all in pvp though. If I have to play with something I don't enjoy I'm not playing it.

[sick thicket]

its fun at the same time idk its punishing as hell but it can be a terrible experience lol

there is no balancing when it comes to skill builds at all

if you're solo, good luck you're probably dead every single time

[carmine sky]

I am lol

[sick thicket]

unless the people you're fighting are just bad

[carmine sky]

I've got like 8 kills to my 20 deaths, and a few of those I probably stole.

I'm normally a person who averages 1.50-2.0kd in every game I play.

[sick thicket]

all jokes aside i get your point. i farmed rank 1k before i even started playing the game

it was just resource convoy simulator

[frosty wadi]

Pvp is way to reliant upon rock paper scissors gameplay

[small spear]

resource convoys my beloved

[carmine sky]

I have the most basic HF set, still using the first one I got unoptomized and my LD is close to all max but not quite. I can probably improve my experience by farming and optomizing my gear but I just don't want to lol

[sick thicket]

hunters fury is not for pvp

[small spear]

^

[carmine sky]

Can't run heroic comfortably yet.

And that's the problem, something in the game shouldn't be non viable if you're able to take it in.

[sick thicket]

i mean but why get hung up on that

just figure out whats viable and farm that

[frosty wadi]

While I agree with previous points, that isn’t correct

[small spear]

npcs act completely differently to humans

that's kinda unavoidable for HF

[carmine sky]

Something new I guess. I always run long range builds. Smgs have been fun and I enjoy the sprint burst LD provides.

[sick thicket]

as i said bro i was just giving u shit. if you want to hang at a low level you have like 3 options

[carmine sky]

Well yea you're not gonna get the 2nd damage amplification but HF still provides a solid damage boost by default to smg. No reason it should just be tickling people.

[small spear]

that's literally the same bonus that red core gives

and no, it's not as big as you think

[sick thicket]

1. ouroboros striker (4 blue cores on all striker pieces with striker backpack included. sokolov chest with obliterate. coyotes or catharsis mask. everything crit hit damage
2. spotter vigi (closer chest piece, 2-3 blue max, vigilance on a crit based or weapon damage backpack. all pieces crit related (grupo, ceska, with fox's and contractors)
3. regen headshot with bighorn. lots of different variations i can send screenshots. lots to type out

those are ur only 3 builds u should be using as a low level

unless you want to use meta which is just 1.8-2mill armor crit builds

it's called "meta" but it's not meta if you havent somewhat perfected movement

[sick thicket]

@carmine sky i uploaded screenshots of the builds ill post them in #td2-build-advice

[rare vapor]

omg, that is a huge let down. why the Keener outfit look so damn ugly? Looks like a level 5 agent outfit you find out in the wilds.
Man i'm glad I bought the Kajika outfit, now that is a piece of awesomeness.

[frosty wadi]

It looks fine idk what your talking about

Think people had their hopes up too far, its literally just an all black outfit

[rare vapor]

Maybe have the hood down? Well the detail doesnt match the posters

[frosty wadi]

The hood being up is very much a loss

All it does is drastically reduce the amount of actual customization the player gets

And if you put on your gear mask with it, it bugs out your glasses and doesn’t show them

And you can’t use full gas masks because they clip into the hood and hat

[rare vapor]

Not saying it's bad though, just not worth the purchase, at least for me and my friends whom been waiting for its reveal. all i'm saying. thanks for your inputs.

[frosty wadi]

Its like 15 dollars for the outfit

Its 100% not worth

[rare vapor]

well i already bought Kajika, i'm all set. but i looked at the cutscene for Liberty Island with Keener at the end, the outfit he had in the cutscene was what I wanted.

[frosty wadi]

Im shocked we got hood up only

If anything I expected hood down only

[rare vapor]

yeah i'd like a hood down option to be honest. the hair for some agents are suppose to come through but doesnt, and it seemed bald. bit ugly there.

[undone timber]

Same tbh

I prefer kajikas

[rare vapor]

yeah Kajika is amazing

[undone timber]

Keeners looks super clean but a tad basic how it is rn

[frosty wadi]

Kajikas is bad specifically due to the issues with masks and glasses otherwise yea its better

[rare vapor]

it's not that clean in the cutscene, it was much more detailed and accessorized

[undone timber]

Sincerely hope it’s fixed

[frosty wadi]

Im still gonna get keeners outfit specifically because I just like the actual uniform but heres hoping they “accidentally” forgot the hood down variant like they did with dragov helm

[rare vapor]

oh you mean when you put on glasses it takes them off automatically? i basically had to reply the facial accessories every mission start

[undone timber]

And then they fuck everyone who didn’t buy the whole bundle

[frosty wadi]

I got an email from ubi support saying my hair bug report was a duplicate and its being investigated, heres hoping that bug gets fixed next patch

[frosty wadi]

Yes

You can bug it on but it comes off if you go into your mask menu again

[rare vapor]

right right

[frosty wadi]

Its really stupid

[rare vapor]

yup

[frosty wadi]

The hoods essentially remove like 4 forms of customization

[fluid meadow]

The past 3 or so outfits didn't allow any sort of further customisation. Makes it look really flat

Dragov was decent ig

[frosty wadi]

Parnells outfit was reversed lol

[fluid meadow]

Wdym

[fleet anvil]

Do you guys pass the Incursion Stage 1 which The Fire boss without clear any mobs ?

[maiden pelican]

I wonder what if there is a piece of high end armor or gear set or a brand that has 2 or 3 core attributes

[hybrid ore]

Picaros Holster has a Red Weapon Damage core as its first Attribute, and a Blue Armour Core as its base.

[maiden pelican]

oh only named armor pieces

[hybrid ore]

Well technically Memento and NinjaBag both have all 3 cores as well, but Memento is only for close up builds and NinjaBag is only for bad builds.

[cloud sinew]

Darian said we are going to have sth else instead of Division day

what do you think that'd be ?

[azure lintel]

So I need to do that and do this shoot 12 target at different time period and then only ended up dying by these 4 hunters?

damn bro

[full zinc]

I wouldn't say memento is only cqb. You only need trophy pickups 1 every 5 mins to maintain full buff after charged

[knotty zenith]

How do I get the iron lung

[full zinc]

Target loot lmg. It's in general loot pool

[hybrid ore]

I mean, you do need to go and physically collect the trophies, so it's more cqb than it's not.

[knotty zenith]

Okay thank you and can I put it on any difficulty

[hybrid ore]

Challenging or higher is best whilst playing, as it only lets enemies drop Gold/Gearset/Exotic gear, no more purples.

[knotty zenith]

Okay thank you

[random quest]

You also have to loot every enemy after they're dead, that makes the entire game cqb with that analogy.

[hybrid ore]

I mean, you do have to. I sure don't anymore.

[hybrid ore]

Surprise finally getting that Resident Evil event at Kenly College.
is my 100% wrong prediction.

[undone timber]

If only

Make kenly college great again

[random quest]

When did you get a bleached toupé and orange skin?

[cloud sinew]

xD

[fluid meadow]

Clear entire room then loot

But the loot gremlins will always risk their lives for it

[random quest]

That was my point, same goes for memento - it's not cqb

[fluid meadow]

Difference is, memento offers a reward for getting the trophies

Rewards that affect the way you fight the enemies

[full zinc]

Can physically collect once area is clear 😉

1 every 5 minutes gives plenty of time to not feel rushed to get the next trophy

[hybrid ore]

I mean the long buff sure.

[tender wave]

Long buff alone is still decent, especially on hybrid builds

[full zinc]

Yeah ofc. Charged Long buff is full strength regardless of core count. Wd regen skill efficiency.
Short buff is nice when you get it, but it's not as strong, depends on core count, and cant really be counted on having a majority of the time.

[random quest]

The value of Memento, why it is viable and strong, is the long buff.
The short 10s buff realistically shouldn't change your playstyle, however if you're already playing cqb it's an added benefit, as in playing SMG/shotty? Nice you're already cqb

[hybrid ore]

Well that and giving you 2 shield cores on top of that.

[random quest]

That's what I said if memento makes you cqb, then looting any item does.

[hybrid ore]

That is a weird statement.

that's like saying using a shotgun makes you a sniper because you aimed for the head.

or even using a rifle as your only gun for striker works because of the red cores.

[random quest]

Not at all. Memento doesn't make you cqb any more than looting in general does, because the short buff isn't needed.
Playing SMG makes you cqb because of the short optimal range.

[hybrid ore]

You could easily just collect all the loot after you've finished an area, collecting none of it before-hand. The only thing stopping you from doing that is a persistent timer of some sort. Literal or metaphorical.
Memento requires you to actually get some of the buffs, 1 at a time after a while sure, but you need to start from somewhere, and most people using the Memento are using it on a DPS/tank hybrid type. E.g. you're going to be actively near enemies.

As this conversation did start from the Striker+Memento combo in the first place, that is the case here.

[dark kayak]

Hi guys

[hybrid ore]

Hey

[azure lintel]

Is photo mode broken? I can only take one picture for a commendation and then it bugs out. Any work around other than closing app?

[dark kayak]

Since when did you start playing TD2 ?
I started it on April 7th

[fluid meadow]

3 blues = 30% bonus armor for 10 seconds. As well as the fact that intimidate/memento works because of short term

You can even stretch it a bit further and say that the bonus armor can be armor on kill if you are cqb and pick up every dropped trophy

[full zinc]

I use/used mem with nego, striker, hotshot, highend , eclipse.
When using it you kinda know the score.. you wont have long buff immediately.
The similarity to looting after an area is clear is pretty much how you get your first stacks unless you're in an actual cqb build like Hf or hb. You wouldn't run into the middle of a gun fight to get some generic loot, you wouldn't for trophies either... 5 minutes is a long time so there is no rush to keep your buff up.

Also note, that if you kill something on an inaccessible area like a ledge or behind a spawn door, those trophies will drop into you're bag. This can be kinda common if you know the spawns and spawn trap npcs a lot.

As the president of the memento fan club I'm always gonna have something the say about the hardest working single item in the game 😆

[fluid meadow]

"I will tolerate your insolence no more!"

[lunar hare]

Started exactly one year ago, took a break till december and been playing since

This is essentially what I'm trying to convey, salute

• Petulant child!

[hexed sentinel]

Did we get to the final manhunt yet

I havent been on in a while

[tender wave]

Nope, couple more weeks yet

[kind veldt]

how many? 2?

[tardy mulch]

the numbers before the clan tag ,what are they for?

[cloud sinew]

it's sad we cant use masks on keener's outfit

[near path]

Coming back to the game after two long years, can anyone recommend a guide as to where on earth I begin with playing again please? much love

[opal radish]

I haven't even started manhunt oh no

[still temple]

SHD level

[maiden pelican]

Why can't we matchmake on normal difficulty raids? It's so inconvenient without it.

[kind veldt]

because devs decided they should be the ultimate group challenge that relies a lot on communication and roles

personally dont like it also

[undone timber]

Same reason matchmade incursions and legendaries are usually train crashes

[opal radish]

Who need to matchmake when you can carry

[kind veldt]

ahem

[undone timber]

Can handle 2 FTCs but I ain't got the skill and patience for 3 like lord😭

[opal radish]

Carrying incursion it a bit bothersome if you don't have 2 players

[dark kayak]

What's your main loadout type ?
Into LMG, shotgun and sniper when needed

[opal radish]

AR and shotgun

Ar for mid to long rand shotgun for close range

[undone timber]

Without another I'm guaranteed healing which is annoying when the damage ain't it😭

[opal radish]

Snipers are useless for 99% dps builds

[undone timber]

It's like put me in coachhh

[opal radish]

I use nemesis hot swap for pinch situation like that dude at the current in tidal legendary

[dark kayak]

LMG for mid to semi-long range and shotgun for close to semi-mid (hunting shotgun)

[undone timber]

Lmgs in general have issues

[opal radish]

The thing I dislike about lmg is long reload and suppressed

[undone timber]

Certain ones are very nice though

[opal radish]

Long reload : fast hands
Suppressed: pray to the NPC

[dark kayak]

I placed equipments to help the recoil, so that's covered

[undone timber]

Issues stem beyond weapon handling

[dark kayak]

However yeah, a 5 second window for reloading is long

[opal radish]

Recoil is not the issue with the top 3 lmg :
l86
RPK
MG5

[opal radish]

Can use fast hands ona crit builds very nice on lmgs

[dark kayak]

M249 B is what I currently have (lvl18)

[undone timber]

New reliable is fun

[undone timber]

Oh

At that point don't worry about your loadout at all

[dark kayak]

ik, just wanted to talk about it with you guys

lvl40 is when shit starts kicking

[undone timber]

In endgame like 90 percent of what you're gonna see when you group up is ARs and shotguns

[dark kayak]

I like LMG because you have a bigger mag and with acessories you can have higher accuracy and stability if placed well

but yeah, I understand the reload is a major pain in the ass

[undone timber]

The problem with lmgs is the suppression mechanic and the inability to use it with the crusader shield

[dark kayak]

suppression ?

[undone timber]

If you shoot an enemy behind cover they duck

[dark kayak]

and the crosshair is slightly less precise aswell

[undone timber]

Which is the worst because then you can't hit them

[dark kayak]

Sad the pistol crosshair looks like two slashes side-to-side

[kind veldt]

i dont like regulus crosshair having a big notch in the middle

[warm minnow]

If only pistol got regulus crosshair

[kind veldt]

i got so used to the regular pistols that the regulus one throws off my aim

[opal radish]

Opposite for me

[kind veldt]

well thats i get from using weird pistols builds since day 1

[undone timber]

Muh claws out

[opal radish]

[copper quail]

Is Cassie's inventory refresh every time she's open or is it weekly?

[cosmic rapids]

servers down?

[dark kayak]

nope

[civic ridge]

Weekly although every visit would make more sense to me.

[cosmic rapids]

its weired caz i had a servers are down error

[tropic compass]

Lol used to play game at 120+ fps now capped it to 85

[pastel escarp]

Question: A gun I wanna run on a build pulls hard to the right when firing....is that Accuracy or Stability mods that would better that?

[weak ravine]

wondering any could help me get true my first paradise losat ?

[timber hatch]

It would be stability, but for whatever reason weapon handling doesn't improve horizontal kick, only vertical. Generally your best bet is just use another weapon since the handling properties are just based on the weapon type

Or just getting used to it since it should be a consistent pattern

What gun is it?

[balmy cedar]

2 guns I know that do it are mp5 and g36

Handling does decrease the effect of the pull but only slightly so if it’s a g36 you can run on empty

[undone timber]

g36 don't even handle bad is just innacurate

[timber hatch]

G36 is on my short list of guns I never touch because I absolutely hate the accuracy on that thing

[kind veldt]

Well the rof buff didnt help g36 accuracy problem

[undone timber]

shame cuz it's a clean looking gun

got some clean skins too

[opal radish]

Even after the buff?

[undone timber]

buff was just rpm right

[timber hatch]

It's not strong enough to be worth missing half my shots at range

[undone timber]

didnt improve the garbo accuracy

[timber hatch]

And if I want a close range weapon with poor accuracy I'll just run an SMG

[copper quail]

What's the meta guns right now? Not exotics nor named guns

[undone timber]

famas

well depends on class

[timber hatch]

FAMAS, f2000, M870, determined on D50, sr-1, m700

[undone timber]

ACS a popular option with stack based stuff

[opal radish]

Scorpio

[copper quail]

So moar boolets per seconds = better?

[opal radish]

Six12

[timber hatch]

It's all about burst dps, the damage per bullet times the rpm (technically rps for DPS)

Generally speaking the higher rpm guns have higher burst, but not always

[opal radish]

Sustained matter as well

[undone timber]

muh bullet king

[hollow acorn]

Is there a effective way to kill uself when theres no enemy aggro

The armor repairs way too quickly when theres no enemy aggro

[delicate ginkgo]

Oxidizer works great

[full zinc]

double nade. throw glass cannon chest on if its not working

[kind veldt]

airburst seeker

[timber hatch]

It matters to a point and in some situations, but imo it's honestly largely overrated in the vast majority of situations as long as it's not a major outlier

[opal radish]

Well for some reason I really like fast hands

[real creek]

People should look at fast hands being good once you have enough damage to one mag. So after your kill you can just reload super fast getting back into DPS quicker mostly. Also anytime you do need sustain it's there.

[small spear]

strained ftw

how i carry my lobbies

[opal radish]

Fast hands is how I Carry mine

[crude plume]

any word on what we willl get instead of division day?

Good to know

whats a good sidearm to just smack on? tdi custom doenst do much for me.

was thinking maybe farming name caches for an orbit?

[dense saffron]

Regulus

[quick plaza]

non exotic :p

[dense saffron]

Oops, then orbit or backup boomstick but a standard sawed off double barrel could work with preservation

[quick plaza]

i would if it wasnt for alreayd running a lefty

but yeah orbit it is then

[dense saffron]

Orbit works

[quick plaza]

are the daily lockers still a thing in the dark zone?

[iron gust]

If you unlocked the perk yes

[quick plaza]

nice, was it just 1 of the 3 per day or was it from each dark zone?

[iron gust]

Don't remember tbh, loot was never good

[quick plaza]

ahh no nameds?

i just remember getting the perk when i was farming my kard ages ago

[iron gust]

I didn't bother with it much, I'm sure it can drop but never did for me

[dense saffron]

It was always mediocre

[civic ridge]

Got a decent Orbit there the other day, (locker loot I mean) which was a bonus for someone who only recently started venturing into DZ

[dense saffron]

What stats were on there?

[civic ridge]

pistol dmg was full so only needed to reroll secondary

[dense saffron]

That’s cool

[vital aspen]

Is there an overview of the amount of XP one gets for open world activities, per difficulty?

[torpid tendon]

Check #ask-td2-community someone has provided that already.

[vital aspen]

[river dock]

why it takes forever to find a game in countdown

[real creek]

What diff you searching on?

[river dock]

challenging

like yesterday was fine

[real creek]

I'd relog or restart.

[dark sand]

God as a beginner player I got a lot to learn about builds and adding a new thing called tinkering and crafting and where to find good loot or where it spawns

been watching alot of youtube videos

Been playing alot of countdown and I had to find out which guns I had to take out or can't keep for inventory management

[real creek]

Might have to unlearn some stuff depending on who you're watching tho.

[valid rune]

Anyone else’s textiles vendor - not restock yesterday?

[dense saffron]

Mine restocked yesterday

[rare vapor]

same, bought everything as quickly as he turned up

[dark sand]

Does anyone know if there is a tier list for division 2 site as I almost forgot to mention that before

[grand swan]

After a long time thinking, i'd say helldivers 2 and they division are the same, players here players there, enemies here and enemies there, chaos unfolding everywhere and both of them are really fun

Not to mention the absurd amount of things you can do

They're both fun

[dense saffron]

But in helldivers you can basically frag your own teammates

[grand swan]

The day this goes to the division they're definitely going to disable in 2 months 😭

[lunar hare]

nah, if you wanna frag others you become rogue at dz and that's it

[dense saffron]

True, but I have trust issues so that’s why I haven’t bought helldivers

[grand swan]

I mean yeah that's what happened to div 1, accidently hit a dude among 20 other players around? Congrats you're cooked

Div 1 dead zone was fun tho

Everyone was new and used random skills instead of meta ones

[dense saffron]

And probably used the ninjabike

[grand swan]

Fr

[dense saffron]

I know I was one of the few people who used the ninja. Kept it in my stash as there’s better exotics. Like the house or the bullfrog

[grand swan]

Fr = french revolution

[dense saffron]

Ouí

[valid rune]

Found the snitch. Went to the vendor and nothing.

[dense saffron]

Weird, try next week

[valid rune]

He had caches every other time. Just this time he was empty. Weird tho.

[dense saffron]

That does seem weird

[slate crystal]

No division day this year??

[dense saffron]

I think there isn’t

[slate crystal]

That’s sucks lol @dense saffron 😦

[dense saffron]

It does, was wanting the devs to bring up some news about whether or not they’re bringing back global events for the 1st game

[dark sand]

Hey guys is it a good idea to sell my division 2 loot to vendor as most I got from countdown that are not exotics
As a beginner still trying to get the ropes down

[dense saffron]

I think that’s an option but another one could be deconstructing it for the materials

[dark sand]

deconstructing for materials oh man ... alr .. have to search that up

[dense saffron]

👌🏻

[full zinc]

anything you dont need, follow this progression to maximize loot benefit.
mark as junk> check library for missing max rolls/talents > donate items to expertise/proficiency > deconstruct.
use mats for upgrades/crafting/proficiency donations
selling is basically a waste.

[dark sand]

oh man .. this is alot to take in but I will try to get used to it .. I may ask questions again or repeat them so I can try to understand fully

[kind veldt]

you want in general a good library full of maxed out stats

for the eventual "when i decide to make X build" you have most of thnigs ready

[dark sand]

🧠

[kind veldt]

thats they have priority, expertise/proficiency is a long grind that you dont need to rush so just donating trash you dont need is safe way to progress

[full zinc]

no worries, its actually pretty straight forward. library and expertise are in the same menu. library will show you anything that can be extracted/saved. expertise is just going into the menu and donating all junk with 1 key. after that its just mass deconstruction holding tab in the menu

[kind veldt]

and mats have multiple uses so breaking down whatever is left from both of above will just leave you mats

[dark sand]

whoa .. hold up .. I gotta write this down or take a pic holy

[full zinc]

there are a lot of yt videos as well. this might be a bit more informative as youll be able to see what is done the same time as its being explained

[dark sand]

they do help .. although I am trying to get relative new news or beginner guide as I learned alot changed in 2019 as I heard most said buffs and nerfs to changing stations and whatnot

although thanks for help .. I will do my best try to understand it .. in a way so I can get along in this server

[full zinc]

yeah, there is a lot of changes since way back. one step at a time

[dark sand]

Tho thing I am scared about it is .. division heartland coming out and I so far was able to catch up on the lore but not the gameplay as you seen before

Having to know the same thing as divison 2 mechanic but different in heartlands once it come out

🧠

for now ... divison 2 focus on this for now

[opal radish]

I am gonna run meta builds next time to fail the carry

[dire ravine]

If that happens again completely log out/close game right there in front of Danny. Log back in and it should show what he has to buy

[scarlet hollow]

Mine game might be bugged , but I can’t raise the expertise on my pointman

[real creek]

What's your overall expertise level? Are you already proficient with the pointman?

[candid parrot]

so can anyone confirm when looking at the headshot damage value, it shows -21%?

[latent bay]

@cobalt sun Your Clan is PST or EST

[dark sand]

Jesus christ I gotta max out my library in tinkering kinda almost done

[swift temple]

I am missing like 4 pieces to have it all done

Like missing 0.4 swap speed 🙂

Not like I need those things, but driving me crazy not having it fully maxed out

[scarlet hollow]

Expertise 25

[neon wyvern]

[swift temple]

Only 14 😦

[dense saffron]

Got another 13% pfe and a max pulse resist mod that someone gave to me after I did a heroic cd run

[dark sand]

As a beginner player ughhh .. gonna take time but

I will try to get used to this

🥴

[swift temple]

Do the expetise work in PvP?

Like 25% more damage is quite alot

[fluid meadow]

That's a red core and 2/3rds

Which is quite a buff especially on blue heavy builds

[sacred oar]

Guys what should i do now? I’m at SHD lvl 26. Should i focus on gear farming? Or leveling up my SHD level first?

[dark sand]

You know whats my biggest regret not playing since launch

🤣

[undone timber]

That you didn’t get the enforcer

So real

[dark sand]

🤓

[hybrid ore]

Farming back then was a LOT worse, be happy you started after TL was added.
and Countdown, and WONY.

[hybrid ore]

the tl;dr right now is just "pick a build and work towards it". There's no reason to rush, so do it at your own pace.
Although do make sure you get this Apparel Event finished before the 2nd week of it is over. That's when the caches stop being awarded for free.

[woven crane]

Yo I new to division 2 this my first time playing the game every and uhhh this game look like it would be better with people to play so uhh anyone down

[dapper atlas]

Welcome Agent Scroll down a bit and you'll find the lfg channels, where you can find posts from others or can post yourself.

[cobalt sun]

The majority of us are EST but there at least 8-10 guys PST, all of our raids and incursions are usually scheduled in a way that works for everyone as well.

[grim wasp]

Howdy! does anyone know if it possible complete the ‚Recruiter Insurance‘ comms now (Year5 Season3)??? I am stuck at 25 of 33 and the ‚blue light‘ does not trigger at castle settlement after 9PM/21:00.
also missing the final ‘Birdie’ comm - if that matters.
FYI: I am on PS5.

[fickle hemlock]

Is there a channel where people share videos?

[drowsy swan]

Welcome to division 2..agent now strap in and have fun

[sacred oar]

Noted, thanks!

[carmine dock]

I have two questions do you get the regolus mission from discovery or from normal iron horse raid and how are you supposed to get a raid together on normal when you can't access general chat on ps4 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

[timber hatch]

Only normal. Find people on discord, and once you know people on PSN they will mostly group up in various PSN raid chats you'll get invited to

[hearty siren]

For matador should I go target loot dz or countdown cashes, which one is faster?

[unique bramble]

I think it's better you try to go for the countdown caches, dz drop rate is pretty bad, and the players that dismantle your items for fun there

[kind veldt]

normal, discovery does nothing pretty much

[hearty siren]

I see wish me luck

[maiden pelican]

I just made my first legendary stronghold clear at Capitol Hill.

[jade wing]

@ocean ice Hey, saw your clan invite message on the GCROCK feed.

[lime fulcrum]

you can get it from named caches as well. if you are not pvp type.

[maiden pelican]

Now I cleared my second legendary clear at District Union Arena.

[neon wyvern]

pog

now do tidal basin and zoo

[tired granite]

kek 1st time game ever crashed

[fickle hemlock]

That’s racist

Are videos allowed?

[reef reef]

not self promo

[fickle hemlock]

It’s not self promo if it’s to entertain fellow div players

What channel accepts it? Any?

[reef reef]

you post a video of your own gameplay = self promo

[fickle hemlock]

Ok man my bad..

[maiden pelican]

I feel like giving up getting the Regulus because of lack of matchmaking on normal Iron Horse.

[timber hatch]

There's still plenty of people running IH, just find people in discord

[maiden pelican]

But the server I'm in sucked.

[undone timber]

as everyones said already even if you could it'd be a shit show

go to gcrock or the community server

plenty of raiders there

[maiden pelican]

Gcrock?

Oh thanks.

Does Gcrock have any Asian players doing raids often?

[tender wave]

You'd be better off asking them

[vapid rover]

Rando question: how are level 30 agents in a level 40 dark zone?

[hidden bramble]

anyone else having issues with danny weaver never having anything to sell?

[unique bramble]

Level 40 agents can join level 30 agent world, if he attempts to enter the level 30 DZ, the game will connect both level 30 and 40 players in the group to a level 40 DZ server.

[civic ridge]

makes sense

[vapid rover]

Copy.

[maiden pelican]

I wonder how would the XM8 works in game .

[lunar hare]

discord logs with those 3 message edits

[kind veldt]

i dont think we have the XM8 so far

makes sense for an exotic

[hybrid ore]

Anyone want to have a go at explaining what on Earth an xm8 is.
Because it sounds like a scam product from Wish.

oh its an AR. I think we have enough of those.

[lunar hare]

They'll never be enough.

[hybrid ore]

MSV flew too close to the sun when they named one after a muppet.
Never again will anything fly so high.

[shell spire]

Quick q, does rerolling an exotic get rid of its expertise level?

[unique bramble]

No

[hybrid ore]

To be specific: with Exotics what you do is "reconfigure" them via the Crafting Table, and what it does is randomise the % of the first 2 stats, and the 3rd stat entirely.
Yes it's possible to make all 3 a lot worse.

[random quest]

All that and you didn't include how it keeps your expertise level like he asked

[shell spire]

This

[carmine dock]

Is there any way to transfer over to American servers if you play on EU servers because Eu servers seems to be low populated

On playstation 4

[full zinc]

Join someone you know in a us east server

[hybrid ore]

I mean, that was already answered by the person above. No reason to repeat.

[kind veldt]

if you want the fun trivia version of it, prototype rifle that almost got adopted by the US so it became video game "future gun" for a while, ghost recon advanced warfigther series has it as it's main weapon

every couple of decades US tries to make a new super gun program that generates a bunch of really really weird (and fun) stuff, of all of them XM8 was just a gun, also nicknamed fish gun

oh and battlefied bad company also had it as the main "future" gun

if you ever want to see stuff thats crazier than some video games just google spiw program

[hybrid ore]

Not really a big gun fan in general, but that sounds fun enough that I might just google it. Cheers!

It actually reminds me a bit of that one weird Australian company and the (and I swear this is the real name): Metalstorm.

[kind veldt]

i know about 'em, there is one of the weird prototype weapons added in pd2

[hybrid ore]

Huh, wasn't aware it was in pd2. I must've missed it.

[kind veldt]

"hailstorm" the legally distinct version

[hybrid ore]

Lol, yeah that was added after my time but I do like how they're carrying on the tradition of the Deagle and Kross. :p

I also only just realised that the last one is a pun on Kriss Kross, which may be the greatest thing ever.

cmon MSV, step up the pun game.

[tropic compass]

😁 2 group members arguing this should be interesting

[full zinc]

let me guess, its about which is the best exotic in the game.. ninja knee or ID holster...

[tropic creek]

What’s the best way to get maxed gear mods?

[full zinc]

summit, legendary with directives

[fiery cloud]

Hey Rivens, Local

[azure lintel]

Any good way to farm game currency?

[real creek]

Credits can be quickly farmed via bounties or salvage points for the SHD watch.

[cursive mango]

Just got my SHD watch. What is the best way to level it?

[rich socket]

Resource convoy and other open world activities

[cursive mango]

[rich socket]

👍

I would also recommend control points for crafting blueprints

[dark sand]

Almost done finishing entire library in tinker station ...

farming countdown is the way to go

🤓

Heroic (mode)

[azure lintel]

is the memento backpack included in the summit loot pool or no?

[kind veldt]

Y

[azure lintel]

aight

[dusky plover]

Can I get all of the blue prints I am missing from CP 4s? I've missed a season and didn't finish the progression on another one.

[lunar hare]

some bps are raid exclusives

[dusky plover]

@lunar hare , I understand that. I have all of the raid bps and weapons. The broken wings season is the one I am looking for.

[undone timber]

No

[dark sand]

As a beginner player 1st week .. its really rough right here

So far grinding on finishing library in tinkering station .. on maxing it out and at the same time trying to find 1 of those items people say are memento (backpack can be able to get in countdown and other are I forgot) .. but 1 thing at a time for now

[olive thorn]

How is everyone doing

[dark kayak]

Any way to fix the game crashing on PC ?

I can't seem to play more than..... 20-30 minutes

After the update, have to specify it ^^

[remote cedar]

Try chacking that all your drivers are up to date

[dark kayak]

Had to update 4 drivers, mainly Nvidia.....
OBVIOUSLY 💀

How tough is Lincoln Memorial ?
I mean 4 bosses in one mission sounds violent

[civic ridge]

No serious mechanics or particularly troubling enemies. The only stumble block I sometimes get is the CQC room due to the amount of cover and flankers.

[dark kayak]

I mean as long as it's not 4 bosses at the same time is gud

[honest wedge]

hello all

question: why does it feel like elite npcs in shooting range die more easily than in the open world?

[hybrid ore]

It sounds rough, but honestly once you learn it, it's probably the fastest mission to complete.

One boss at the start, then 3 at the end but they spawn separately.

[hybrid ore]

Hi
2 things I can think of. 1) Check the difficulty of the Shooting Range, you can change it just outside of the room.
2) enemy types can vary wildly on kill time.

[honest wedge]

yeah, I was kinda thinking the range is 'elite' like a charger while the world is everything

thank you though, trying to nail down just enough dmg for a one shot

[hybrid ore]

If you are talking about Headhunter builds, this might be of some help.

[undone timber]

Is there an issue with the smile hoodie in particular in the apparel store

Getting an error every time I try to buy it with textiles

[hybrid ore]

Is it just the Smile hoodie? I can confirm that it equips fine if you already own it.

[undone timber]

It did a weird thing where I couldn't buy anything apparently then the entire store blanked out then it said it had fresh stock and went back to normal

Odd

[hybrid ore]

Very odd.

[dark kayak]

The accuracy of a sniper rifle still slightly goes over me : you've gotta be pinpoint on the body to make it count, and even at midrange I fail

[torpid tendon]

If you're running determined you can actually "blank scope" everything from cover.

[dark kayak]

At which level or milestone shall I swap my LMG for an AR ?
And which ARs would you advise ?

Currently at lvl24

[hybrid ore]

You don't really "swap" at certain stages. During the levelling process just use whatever feels fun and matches levels with you.

Think of everything below Lvl 40 as a Tutorial of sorts. A good chance to try out new stuff.

[dark kayak]

I mean if I stick with turret, drone, LMG-shotgun and sometimes sniper I ain't gonna move out of it unless strongly advised

[hybrid ore]

In a few levels you'll be woefully underpowered against enemies.

[dark kayak]

at level 30, it's about to go wild ?

[hybrid ore]

Well Lvl 30 is where the Gear Score stuff is about to start, and then once you finish that you reach Lvl 31 and then onto Lvl 40, where you'll never have to worry about items going redundant due to your level again.

[dark kayak]

So should I start swapping my guns for something else right now or should I wait lvl 30-31 ?

[hybrid ore]

tldr; 1-30 > World Tier 1-5 > 31-40 > End game.

[dark kayak]

From what I understood from your sentences, it seems I should start swapping at lvl30 but not quite sure

[hybrid ore]

Well you'll need to swap before then too, just basically whenever you feel your gun is getting underpowered.

[torpid tendon]

That's a good way of thinking id say. Brings me back some div 1 memories 🕊️

[dark kayak]

So not now XD
(it pretty much is the opposite, feels like I'm rolling on the enemies yet they're at my level)

[hybrid ore]

I did a 1-30 for the first time in a few years a while back, it's a real trip going back.

Highly recommended, not the least because Grey/White Tier gear has some fun appearance mods.

[dark kayak]

Stick on mostly premium stuff....
GOT LUCK

*LUCKY

[hybrid ore]

There's loads of great free cosmetics in div2, you can easily make some pretty great outfits from just the grey tier+some apparel events.

[dark kayak]

Which AR types are usually the best ?
Or the ones you'd advise ?

Think I'll switch to them once my ass is given to me at lvl31

[opal radish]

You should only worry about that at lvl40

[dark kayak]

;-;

[random quest]

The reason we keep telling you not to worry about it is - because like you said yourself - you're rolling on enemies on story mode if you have half a braincell.
It's not meant to be a difficult experience. If you swap out your gear along the way, you'll be fine. There's no real rules for what to swap out.
You feel your weapon is not as good as it was? Get a new one, doesn't matter which, try stuff out.
Gearwise, skill and armor cores gives you the most benefit while leveling - atleast so I've heard, but again it doesn't really matter on Story mode.

[hybrid ore]

Airburst Seeker really does shine during story mode.

Lincoln for the daily project. Woo!

[opal radish]

5 min run

[dark kayak]

Imma run it then...
Will be my first time tho lmao

[low plank]

where is danny weaver this week

[hybrid ore]

To find him, you have to find the Snitch first.
that reveals both his and Cassie's location.

[low plank]

Ah oke, Thank you.

Also, what's the best control point to farm on repeat for xp

[hybrid ore]

I'd recommend varying up which one you do, and it doesn't hurt to do some LZ (open world map) activities as well, Executions are the best xp but they're all not bad.
You don't want to burn out.

[low plank]

Don't think I burn out quick. I've been repeatedly farming falling cranes CP for the past 8 ish hours. 😎 But I'll go do some activities like executions and see the XP from it. Thank you

[hearty siren]

How many hour to get all blueprints in summit?

Or are they in descent

[low plank]

Who do I need to bribe to have the glasswork skin added into the next shop rotation 😅

[undone timber]

They are

Amount of time depends on you

[hearty siren]

Estimated?

[full zinc]

Sleeping giant, imo

[quick plaza]

are there any other weapons like the spas-12 where the stock folds/collapses on your back?

[kind veldt]

tac-50

[quick plaza]

oh nah i can hide those 😂

[kind veldt]

i think some other snipers might have

but cant remember from the top of my head honestly

[quick plaza]

fair, will just stick to an smg then, trying to find something small to go onto my medic build for reformation

mpx or mp7 prolly

[dark kayak]

Parias are tough sunovs

[quick plaza]

question, when crafting do i still needa raise global difficulty or?

[full zinc]

Are you past wony (warlords expansion)

[dark kayak]

Almost at West End at level 28....
Somehow feel like I shouldn't survive and conquer yet I still do X)

You know, these "how tf did I get this far" moments

[quick plaza]

yeah, my question was because i know back in the day the qualiaty of crafting depended on your difficulty

[serene elk]

Afaik, crafting is not dependent on global difficulty past level 40

World tiers affect gear score I think but that’s only level 30
