"you shouldn't trust ISAC, it's not that hard to confuse, you really should be more careful"

[zinc birch]

Do it on a lower difficultly to start. It has some difficult areas.

Best to learn the layout then try some harder difficulties after.

[bronze sluice]

We need to get ISAC an upgrade

[azure lintel]

i realize all the story beats now are retcons technically since they never planned on having the game carry on this long, but theo surviving actually makes sense

[bronze sluice]

Get him on something better than chatgpt

[maiden pelican]

That is a van.

[stuck sapphire]

Oh i'll be fine. I like struggling and coming out on top. I'll be doing it solo on heroic. If it does end up being too much, i'll tone it down

[azure lintel]

Anna is the better Isac

[fickle edge]

keener I can see living but I didn't expcet parnell

[azure lintel]

she's even got a nice voice

[fickle edge]

same thing where's ours

[zinc birch]

Well, he did hack ISAC to make us think he was dead during the mission.

[bronze sluice]

Who tf is anna?

[azure lintel]

Anna is the rogue network AI

[zinc birch]

The Rouge AI.

[bronze sluice]

Ohh yeah, her voice is the best

[zinc birch]

The original one before ISAC was created.

[azure lintel]

"Welcome back Vanguard, I missed you"

[zinc birch]

Cal found her to be too sentient and genocidal.

So he requested the ISAC unit be used for Division agents.

[bronze sluice]

😠

[maiden pelican]

Where will TD3 take place? NYC or somewhere else in the USA?

[zinc birch]

It's only entering pre-production after the Star Wars game launches so it could be anywhere in America.

[azure lintel]

Only Massive knows

it doesnt really make sense to not be in the US

[maiden pelican]

I never see what Hawaii and Alaska look like in post-Green Poison.

[bronze sluice]

Massachusetts

[frosty wadi]

Why would d3 take place in nyc

[bronze sluice]

It takes plave entirely in the empire state building

*place

[zinc birch]

The Summit 2.

[azure lintel]

Watchdogs, Chicago - Division, NYC, Watchdogs 2, Los Angeles, Division 2 DC, I'm guessing they go back to Chicago for D3

[fickle edge]

the last season of the year is back to NYC according to the roadmap

[zinc birch]

Only Brooklyn.

[fickle edge]

and are we getting year 7?

[zinc birch]

Probably not, but we'll see.

[azure lintel]

year 7 is the brooklyn dlc, no?

[zinc birch]

Year 6 is the Brooklyn DLC.

[bronze sluice]

Gimme some shit like dallas

[fickle edge]

watch dogs 2 was SF no

[bronze sluice]

Maybe Miami

[azure lintel]

years six starts this year, tho?

oh MY bad youre right SF!

[fickle edge]

no next year

[azure lintel]

the next season that is this year is "year six"

i know it makes no sense just roll with it

[zinc birch]

Year 6 season 3 is when Brooklyn will officially drop with seasons 2.0.

2025. Ugh that's so long though.

[azure lintel]

they should probably just redo their naming conventions

[zinc birch]

I need to know what happened sooner.

[fickle edge]

were getting a new item slot too according to the devs

[azure lintel]

cause theres no way brooklyn is gonna drop before may of next year

[zinc birch]

It might, the next seasons can be made smaller in scope to accommodate for the expansion in 2025.

[fickle edge]

next season were not expecting anything new so maybe there's that

and the season after that is seasons 2.0 and the new item type?

[zinc birch]

Season 3 is.

It looks like the new seasons format will release with Brooklyn, probably due to that "safe haven" thing Keener was talking about and being in a "brand new" area.

[fickle edge]

imagine its like the kanai cube from d3 where you can store an item but still benefit from it

kinda boring but safe

[azure lintel]

kanais cube was awesome and i wont hear anything disparaging it

[royal pelican]

A watch slot ?

We can either have the rogue, the BC or the agent watch which will give us a specific buff for one or more of our skill

[celest marten]

Do we actually have to replay the ENTIRE manhunt just for a comm and BP trophy?

[kind veldt]

i mean my theory was a watch slot

ever since they announced a new item type back when they restarted developtment

[azure lintel]

theres a backpack trophy?

[dense saffron]

I’m fine with the mask that the hunter dropped

[undone timber]

There's a trophy?

[celest marten]

According to Reddit, yes. Screenshot and everything

[undone timber]

Send it in #ask-td2-community

[tawny garden]

Man i feel its so unfair that when i put on my sniper stuff i have to put so much more effort into when compared to some Heartbreaker build i can just put out my shield and mow everything down effortlessly

The Kelso Manhunt i could barely handle the passage with the many dogs and drone

[undone timber]

Snipers are more effortless than heartbreaker lol

[tawny garden]

Then i pop out Heartbreaker and easy mode

[undone timber]

At least with determined

[tawny garden]

But when nothings got a head than theres no head to pop

Sniper builds with all red trash mobs is fun and easy going

but put some heroic with all elites and machines

whole different story

[undone timber]

Well yeah when you fight stuff like tusk of course it's difficult to play snipers especially in this latest mission

[tawny garden]

Yea and i think that sucks

While braindead spam builds you hold down a button are mowing everything down

[undone timber]

It's not like you can play any build anywhere

Or should I mean

[tawny garden]

Sniper is not a build tho

[undone timber]

If you're using a sniper without a dedicated build for it then idk what to tell you dude 😭

[tawny garden]

never said that

What i meant is - when there would be one sniper build that didnt work for that mission that would be okay
But its like sniper - the whole weapon class - across all builds suffers from this dyssynergy with elites/robots

Its always much harder

Helmets, Armor, Robots - cant even get Headshot damage progged on half the enemies

And it pisses me a bit off that all the upper difficulty content which i enjoy is like a natural counter to the sniper play i enjoy aswell

I would love to have some set that would constantly enable headshot damage on weakparts or something - i would happily give away those oneshots if i could do reliable damage on most enemy types

[undone timber]

That's why we have multiple weapon classes

Gotta dress for the occasion

[tawny garden]

I think thats somewhat stupid - i cant see in the future
Suddently a Hunter appears and im just doomed because "wrong set" badum-ts

then let me change sets mid fight

[undone timber]

Helmets aren't so bad if you leave weaker adds alive to regain stacks but certain missions like stovepipe you just can't bring sniper builds

[undone timber]

You can hot swap

[tawny garden]

how?

[small spear]

just change pieces in inventory

[tawny garden]

lol yea sure

[small spear]

granted you can't change spec

[tawny garden]

its a solution granted - but very inelegant one tbh

[atomic dirge]

Manhunt ending was a bit crazy

[tawny garden]

Div1 was so much more fun for the Sniper gameplay :S

[undone timber]

Understatement of the year

[atomic dirge]

Ok?

[tawny garden]

it was Plot equivalent to a fart under the sheets

[atomic dirge]

Crazy mid then

[tawny garden]

completely unexpected mood killer

telenovela level of "drama"

Oh! Hey Keener

[median fulcrum]

How do you get the last comm for Vanguard?

[atomic dirge]

Rugged gauntlets are as useful as a shield made out of aluminum foil

But I did found it's true purpose

Exotic component

[halcyon radish]

this kind of plot usually indicates showrunner run out of idea

[brazen oasis]

I am pissed at the ending of kelsos mission

Actually just bankrupt ideas

This game isn't about saving shit this is a fucking movie plot

Can we just kill nat and get this shit over with

[small spear]

so true

[kind veldt]

People are claiming a full restart and completion of the manhunt to get it

others are saying they got it by replaying the final mission 2 times on console

[median fulcrum]

Did the mission like 3 more times but no comm or trophy

[wind atlas]

i think in div1 brooklyn map will definitely use in Brooklyn dlc but extended

[kind veldt]

well havent paid much attention to it to know if anything else works, and am i crazy or you also used that old ubi forum that got nuked?

[median fulcrum]

Yes I sure did. Still miss those good ol days..

[azure lintel]

Hello how’s everyone doing

[maiden pelican]

If the real Kelso is captured or kidnapped, then the other Kelso might be Viper or Cassandra using her face as disguise.

[tawny garden]

Maybe Keener ist Kelso and Kelso is Viper
Maybe Manny is Spongebob
And maybe we are not real at all but a dream

Think of all those possibilities!

[maiden pelican]

I wonder what if there is an alternate time line for The Division universe where Green Poison never happened.

[tawny garden]

i sometimes wish there was a alternate timeline for reality where div2 never happened and we would have div1 still developed just like other games as a service/mmo's

oh uh i like the Diamondback changes that are coming

more damage, one more bullet and more control over the markings

It looks like rifle in general are getting finally a bit more love ❤️

Breaking Point gear looks tasty af

[halcyon radish]

the ending either means we're so dumb, or our comm, intel, even live vision is totally f up, we no longer tell what is reality, idk which is the worst

[small plume]

WHAT?

I can't digest what I fucking witnessed in this manhunt.

[wind atlas]

i feel ya 😂

[frosty wadi]

Its certainly the writing of all time

[small plume]

And please, don't tell me we will only know what happens next only in TD3

[frosty wadi]

Its gonna get cliffhangered again next season until the dlc because of the dlc delay

[hearty patio]

the ending had me stepping away to smoke a cigar and contemplate wtf i just witnessed

[small plume]

Seriously, I don't get it.
Maybe Keener being alive can be plausible, depending of what they are planning, but Theo?

Keener literally gave his back on him.

[frosty wadi]

Actually thats probably what the writers were doing when they wrote this seasons story

[hearty patio]

did anyone else get the hunter during the mission?

[small plume]

Yes, I got killed.

[hearty patio]

same

[small plume]

It sucks to me because I couldn't take the collectible from the boss.

I think I can run the mission again, but I'm kinda stressed.

[frosty wadi]

Keener being alive quite literally doesn’t make any logical sense at all, even if you chalk it up to being a game it still doesn’t make sense

[small plume]

"Kinda", I'm actually pretty stressed because of that ending.

It went to "OMG KEENER IS ALIVE? YEAAH! Wait, Theo? WAIT, WHY IS KELSO THERE? FUCK NO!"

Ngl, I'm unhappy.

[hearty patio]

i was kinda hoping a prompt would pop up and give us a chance to go rogue

[small plume]

Yeah, maybe after that communication in Haven, if there was a continuation there, maybe it would be better.

Because for Kelso to be with Keener, something really fucked up must have been shown.

[frosty wadi]

This seasonal story feels very rushed and completely unexplained

[hearty patio]

lol everyone would go rogue

[small plume]

I'm kinda deceptioned with the Division and whatever the hell the hq is called.

[hearty patio]

would love to know what

[hearty patio]

yep i just want to go rogue kill off the black tusk leadership and their hunters

[maiden pelican]

Calvin McManus is the head of both the Hunters and the Division?

[small plume]

Each radio and portables I find, I get pretty sad with it.
The most recent one was finding Kajika's portable calling for help.

[hearty patio]

seems that way

[small plume]

I already like Kajika a lot.

Finding that made me sad.

[hearty patio]

where was that

[small plume]

It was in the streets of NY, I don't remember where.

It was close to a bank, I think.

Is Kajika alive?

[maiden pelican]

I thought the Division and Hunters were supposed to be working together to fight against rouge agents but why did they turn against each other?

[small plume]

That would be cool, somehow.

[frosty wadi]

Hopefully not

[hearty patio]

i found the protable of the two rogues talking bout keener and theo then getting the pop up kajika went rogue

[small plume]

Why? Kajika is cool.

My fav boss.

[frosty wadi]

2 of the 5 rogues that were the entire center of a dlc are alive completely out of nowhere despite us killing them in gameplay and in cutscene

If any more come back it literally just makes the story of the dlc pointless

[small plume]

But why Theo?

Such a uncool character.

[frosty wadi]

Because they wanted to keep the annoying one alive

[hearty patio]

he's like a lost puppy he'll follow keener everywhere

[small plume]

Still makes no sense, Keener literally said "F*ck you, die alone!" to Theo.

[tawny garden]

Hunters are more like a KillSwitch to the whole division programm

[hybrid ore]

Theo's a nerd, Keener needs him to do nerd stuff.
It's really not that complex.

[small plume]

It wouldn't be that complex

If that dialogue never happened in first place

[hearty patio]

maybe an act?

[small plume]

I still confused.

[wind atlas]

you should play the vanguard comms

[hearty patio]

😄

[small plume]

Who's vanguard comms?

[tawny garden]

Nothing to be confused about. Its just shit writing and undoing established lore.

[hybrid ore]

More likely it wasn't an act and this is just another facet. Keener uses people, that's been his thing since back in div1.

[blazing sleet]

somehow palpatine returned ~ many such cases 🤣

[small plume]

This is what I'm thinking, ngl.

[hearty patio]

there's that

[hybrid ore]

Having had more time to take it in, it's less bad than my snap-judgement thought.

[wind atlas]

the collectable comms

[small plume]

If only Keener was alive and he was forcing Kelso to do whatever she's doing, that would be plausible to me.

[tawny garden]

Nah they explain in the coms it was to "deceive" us blah blah

[small plume]

This is just... "what?"

[tawny garden]

stupid af

[hybrid ore]

I've listened to them all, there's always more to writing than face value in these games.

[hearty patio]

what if this is just a prelude to the next div

[hybrid ore]

This stuff is a setup for the DLC.

[tawny garden]

We are the best agent in the world cant tell who someone is and if its a corpse or alive...

[hearty patio]

what's the next dlc gonna be

[tawny garden]

The story turn really ticks me off

[blazing sleet]

In next season all hunters will alive from dead and we have to boss fight all of them at once

[hybrid ore]

All we know about the DLC for sure is that it's going to be at least partially set in Brooklyn.

[small plume]

I can't believe I reinstalled this game after so much time to grind and do this manhunt, just to get stabbed in the back like this.

[wind atlas]

i hope the dlc is free I'm broke asfk 😂

[tawny garden]

Probably some Ninja Turtle DLC eating pizza in brooklyn

[hybrid ore]

It's looking to be an Expansion, so expect a similar price to WONY.

[small plume]

I'm not buying any DLC any soon, I'm about to buy Tekken 8 and I have 2 more runs in Elden Ring to complete.

[hearty patio]

i'll settle for a batman knock off lol

[tawny garden]

Faye Lau probably comes back aswell. And then we all have a party. And then everyone claps

[small plume]

And there's also ER's DLC.

[hearty patio]

no they cremated her

[small plume]

Well, no, she's ashes now.

[hearty patio]

according to what's his name

[tawny garden]

That was probably holographic ash!

[small plume]

Nah, they wouldn't be THAAAAAAAAT stupid.

[hearty patio]

kek

[small plume]

Not THAAAAAAAT stupid.

[hearty patio]

idk they kept theo alive

[small plume]

It's kinda stupid enough Shaeffer being alive.

[hearty patio]

he still in a coma?

[small plume]

Yes.

[hearty patio]

oof

[hybrid ore]

I mean, it's not really stupid. It was confirmed at the end of his Manhunt that he didn't die.

[undone timber]

Hey we got a sweet ass mask out of it

And another one of those cube trophies

[tawny garden]

He pretends to be in coma cause he doesnt wanna be part of this mess

[hearty patio]

what mask

[blazing sleet]

What's in the box and what will he get by cloning my watch

[small plume]

Yeah, but why shoot him like that in first place?
His bossfight is kinda meh

[undone timber]

|| freedom hunter mask||

[hybrid ore]

What he got is his own watch back, since that was his in the first place.

[hearty patio]

from this manhunt?

[undone timber]

Yes

[hearty patio]

i need help getting that

fucker killed me

[blazing sleet]

my watch >:((

[small plume]

Shaeffer was cooler when we could just listen to him, instead of fucking fighting him.

[tawny garden]

Wasnt it a copy of his watch he copied back with anna on it and so on?

[undone timber]

Bring a Scorpio for the encounter with all the chem vapor on the ground and you'll be aight

[tawny garden]

I mean we took his watch off of him didnt we?

[hearty patio]

don't have that boss

[undone timber]

We have his actual watch

[tawny garden]

Atleast its on my memento in my lore

[hybrid ore]

You do, just re-run the mission.

if you die to them they vanish for that run.

[small plume]

Maybe I'll run every manhunt someday, I didn't completed any.

[undone timber]

Oh so it isss like deceit

[undone timber]

You're missing 4 skill variants and two exotics

[small plume]

I don't think I do.

I have 3 of those variant skills.

[hearty patio]

st elmos engine is pretty neat

[small plume]

I have it.

[undone timber]

Then you've run the manhunts lol

[frosty wadi]

I can’t wait for the cutscene next season where we go back to keener laying down where we killed him as he pulls a comically large piece of damaged armor from his jacket

[small plume]

No, I just did the mission.

[wind atlas]

i wonder how ||keener|| got his watch back

[blazing sleet]

Netherite armor

[undone timber]

So you're still missing 4 variants

Emp sticky, shrapnel/repair trap, and there was some other one

[small plume]

I remember that electric trap variant, Achilles and the other one I don't remember.

[tawny garden]

Then a hologram disappears and we actually shot ourselfe...

[undone timber]

Achilles that was the one

[small plume]

So, I got 2 or 3 of them already.

[blazing sleet]

🤣☠️

[hybrid ore]

Replay the Manhunt and watch the ending cutscene.

[small plume]

You can play just the last mission by changing it.

You don't need to do the entire manhunt.

[undone timber]

That's what I meant by doing previous manhunts, you can't replay the entire thing lol

[small plume]

Now you can.

[undone timber]

Just the climax

?

[small plume]

Yes, you can.

[hybrid ore]

Naval is right, you can only replay the final mission once a Manhunt is over.

[undone timber]

???

[small plume]

What is that thing of Legacy Manhunt?

[hybrid ore]

Final Mission, as we've said.

Camp White Oak for Lau/Recruiter, etc.

the term "legacy" in div2 just means that Season is over.

[small plume]

That's weird, I never clicked in any of those things, I went directly to a mission, swapped to the hunt and played it.

You wasn't able to fight Faye in a few months ago, for example?

[hybrid ore]

Nope, not correct.
Although there was a bug for some people where it wasn't selectable.

[small plume]

I think I heard of that.

[hybrid ore]

Lau's manhunt came out back in what was it, 2021?The original season 4 before they started calling them by the new system.

and before the re-run of the first 4.

[small plume]

Dammit, I still can't believe wtf I just saw...

I'm disturbed, I don't even wanna play this game anymore today.

[undone timber]

It does make the initial WONY campaign awkward

[small plume]

Who's WONY?

[hybrid ore]

Wasn't it Kelso who checked Keener's pulse during that?

[undone timber]

Like it or not the plot definitely has me intrigued

[undone timber]

It does add up really

[hybrid ore]

Warlords of New York. WONY is short-hand we use for that.

[undone timber]

Feels cheap now tbh but it does connect however loosely

[small plume]

It would made me as well, if there was a continuation, like... right now.

[hybrid ore]

There will be in June.

[small plume]

June I'll be playing Elden Ring.

[undone timber]

Me and my clan mates were going wild over the last cut scene

[misty oyster]

anyone got a clue where to find the remaining comms?kelso not in vanguard manhunt? i only got 25/26

[undone timber]

Also when do we get keeners new drip lorrddd

[hybrid ore]

I guess if you want to punish yourself that's on you.

@misty oyster you need to replay the entire Manhunt from scratch to get the last one and a BP trophy, may be a bug.

[small plume]

Well, it's already gone.

[tawny garden]

Welp thats the bane of live service games

[small plume]

Keener's outfit was avaliable some weeks ago.

[undone timber]

His new drip not his warlords outfit

[small plume]

Oh.

[misty oyster]

tried it already just finish

[hybrid ore]

not the final mission, the Manhunt from "reset".

[small plume]

It's just Ubisoft being Ubisoft.

[tawny garden]

Im glad i got the comms right away.

[misty oyster]

from 24/25 only

[hybrid ore]

There is 26.

[tawny garden]

Not really. You have seasons and lore coming with it. Division 2 is not different than other games in thag regard. Its service for fans sticking to the game steadily

[hybrid ore]

I actually made someone cry from happiness yesterday.
I joined a game in progress where they were stuck on the Quadcopter and we did it in one go. Genuine tears over the mic.

dude had tried about "15 times".

[misty oyster]

yes the whole manhunt i did it

[undone timber]

Poor guy😭

[small plume]

Well, Ubisoft got my attention with this manhunt, I played it with loyalty, just to be backstabbed like this.

My mood is on my feet.

[hybrid ore]

Okay dramatic much.

[misty oyster]

that is what i'm missing

[undone timber]

Retcons aside this has me way more interested in the story than like any other season I've had the chance to experience

[misty oyster]

idk if it's a note or a comms

[undone timber]

The final one is a note

[tawny garden]

The Hunters always get to me
So hard tho.
Once again i could only finish crouch walking in circles around some cover and hipfire my trusty op scorpio

Without scorpio i literally couldnt kill some stuff with my sniper build

I hate those drones - nearly unkillable with MMRs

[undone timber]

Like I said earlier some builds work for some stuff and others for other stuff

Bring the right tools for the job innit

[tawny garden]

Sure. I cant think of a job Heartbreaker or Striker cant do on the other hand

A bit unfair

[undone timber]

Crowd control, healing lol

[tawny garden]

hardly needed in solo content

[hybrid ore]

Hitting something from a distance of more than 30m.

my taxes.

[undone timber]

You could use strikers everywhere but it's not always the best for the job

[misty oyster]

btw is this confirmed to work already or just rumours?

[undone timber]

Oh and heartbreaker doesn't work on targets you can't pulse

[hybrid ore]

Someone posted a screenshot of them getting the backpack trophy over in #ask-td2-community yesterday, so it seems to work.

[undone timber]

Or you just can't stack on some stuff regardless

[misty oyster]

this is tiresome

[hybrid ore]

It's been one day, don't worry so much.

actually not even one day.

[tawny garden]

they probably patch it

[undone timber]

Been a little less than 18 hours

They'll get round to it

[hybrid ore]

It does say "replay Manhunt to earn additional rewards". I have a feeling it's intentional.

[misty oyster]

-_-

[undone timber]

Initially I thought it'd be hidden like last season but apparently not

[hybrid ore]

I was expecting a reason to have to go through the rest of the mission area.

ya know, have the final step of the puzzle be the flame tower.

[tawny garden]

I mean "replay manhunt" couls also mean just playing the last mission. If you replay the classic manhunts thats just the final missions aswell...sooo...

[undone timber]

Same we scoured the whole thing but the rest of the tanker got blocked off

[undone timber]

I replayed it 4 times and no dice

Some have said they got it in the final mission, others when completing the manhunt, others by replaying it

[misty oyster]

the whole 8 CP's along the bounties?

[hybrid ore]

The fact that the secret door was left open when the enemies spawned into the final fight area made me so suspicious of a potential puzzle.

[misty oyster]

it took me 2hrs or so doing solo

[undone timber]

Final mission

[misty oyster]

ohh

[hybrid ore]

Yeah ya need to replay the entire thing from "reset".

[tawny garden]

If thats the case i cant be bothered. I hate those headhunt missions. Always running around with shitt pathing never finding the way doors not opening and whatever

[misty oyster]

that's the thing

[undone timber]

I thought maybe that launcher across the way from the final area you could still shoot but nah

[hybrid ore]

If you don't want to replay the Manhunt now but still want the comm/note later on, just wait until the Season is over.
the only thing you'll miss out on is likely just the BP trophy.

[misty oyster]

BP throphy?

[hybrid ore]

#ask-td2-community message

[tawny garden]

Huh

I have that

And i played only the final mission twice

Good for me i guess

[hybrid ore]

Count your luck.

[tawny garden]

A green butterfly

[misty oyster]

...

[tawny garden]

Green Watch of new division lead by me and manny confirmed

[hybrid ore]

It's just a regrettable tattoo that Keener got in Thailand.

[tawny garden]

If they pull that off im gonna forgive them the keener revive

I want that green watch

[misty oyster]

okay idk if it is allowed to ask here but

did i miss something why did natalya said that the rogue network was deactivated and they needed that briefcase we saw in cutscene to reactivate it again?

[tawny garden]

Keener is one of those coomers making holidays in thailand... things make more sense now

[hybrid ore]

That word is just so gross sounding, which I know is the point but still.

[undone timber]

Wonder if next season is expanding upon diamond and BT

[hybrid ore]

My guess is that next Season is going to be all build up for whatever the DLC is about.
the mention of BT being somewhat "cult like" does have me wondering about the future plot there.

[undone timber]

Can't wait to see what Manny, Rhodes and benitez have to say after this last mission

[tawny garden]

Wouldnt wonder if Rhodes kicks us out at this point

He hates division but always starts to trust one a bit

And then they go rogue again

Hell at this point i wouldnt wonder if Rhodes is Endboss of next dlc

[sacred oar]

Guys what is hunter masks? Is it just a cosmetics?

[lavish spire]

yes

[sacred oar]

Okay! Thank you

[sick thicket]

anyone have a good HDR compatible monitor for console they recommend?

didn't really matter on pc, but apparently it does on console

[stuck sapphire]

Yoo. I just finished the manhunt. That was badass. I am hype as all hell for whats to come.

[elfin hazel]

I think this is the most engaging manhunt ending yet?

in terms of people talking about it

[stuck sapphire]

I love it.

[cobalt adder]

For anyone interested: can confirm that after re-doing the entire manhunt, I got the 26th comm right at the very end.

[hybrid ore]

There are scattered reports of people getting it from just replaying the final mission, but nothing confirmed yet.
honestly I think you're right drib, with the big exception being Lau and speculation about her still being alive before it was confirmed the following Season.

[cobalt adder]

Did last mission three times. Once solo on Heroic, another 4-man on Heroic, then again solo on Normal, nothing. Ran entire Manhunt on normal, final mission on Hard and it worked.

[dark sand]

doing diviison 2 manhunt rn .. hope to know more lore

[dark sand]

Anyone know how to get the 26 com in division 2 vangaurd new manhunt

[elfin hazel]

redo the whole manhunt

[dark sand]

appreciate it .. just didn't know how to do it .. thank you

I started 3 weeks ago .. and had to catch up

[elfin hazel]

hold g on the manhunt menu

[dark sand]

alr hold up .. lemme turn on division 2 on geforce now

Another grind on division 2 .. lets goo.. for the last comm

Will probably do the last manhunt for the last comm tommorrow need sleep for sure

[hybrid ore]

There's no reason to rush it, it'll be active until the Season is over.

[thorny talon]

👆

[hybrid ore]

I'm going to wait to see if it's patched out to just be the last one, because replaying an entire Manhunt for 1 thing is a new feature IIRC.

[fair lake]

It's a lame way to force people to replay the whole manhunt (even if it's unintended). Couple of seasons we had normal way of getting comms - complete the manhunt, listen to new comms at BoO, decrypt some puzzles (that was awesome, by the way)

[hybrid ore]

Considering that the final mission is shorter than most bounties in NYC, I'm not too bothered.

[fair lake]

That's true

[hearty patio]

i kept thinking the scorpio was a smg but i managed to get it in dz south kinda nice for a shotgun

[halcyon radish]

not nice, it's nooiceee

[vale moth]

still 25/26.. maybe thats a bug, or idk

[cyan narwhal]

im about to do 1 to 100 floor summit heroic solo flawless in 1 go. wish me luck

[copper quail]

Best semi-auto MR?

[marble hill]

Hey so anything on comms number 26 of manhunt vanguard

[kind veldt]

Dragunov or dread edict

[round token]

Schaefer's gonna wake up next Season isn't he

[maiden pelican]

Is it possible to obtain the Dread Edict at The Summit?

[marble hill]

Maybe

[elfin hazel]

yes

[maiden pelican]

I was trying to obtain it but I got a near-perfect rolled Merciless and a Sacrum Imperium some days ago.

[lunar hare]

those two are just meme weapons imo

Maybe using them for fun

[maiden pelican]

Yes these weapons are for fun, proficiency, exotic collection, and exotic components. Best to avoid upgrading them.

[lunar hare]

We love Chamaleon... 's drop when deconstructed.

[fiery cloud]

Hey Serj, .drib

[quick hazel]

With amnesia. Lol.

[wispy burrow]

I ran a legendary DUA and got bighorn, never saw that one before lol

[azure lintel]

:SeelePeek:

[kind veldt]

Fun gun

hits quite hard actually, think people underappreciate it

[undone timber]

If you're hitting headshots it hits like a truck

But hitting headshots with it is annoying at distance

[frosty wadi]

That or they draw it out another season or two

[kind veldt]

depends if the plan was to wake him up with the DLC drop

then he's stuck in there for another year

besides i find kinda hard for him to just instantly join our sides

[undone timber]

He seemed more reasonable than most

[royal pelican]

about the missing intel of the manhunt, we found out that each boss should drop one, but sometimes, they don't

just do the last missing and you should get the missing

[golden sandal]

hey guys, quick question. Is there a general consensus on which are the better solo player classes/ builds right now?

just bought the DLC and Iam undecided... I didnt play for some years haha 😄

[kind veldt]

there are some pretty overall great builds

they mostly vary from strong to OP depending on the quality of the rolls you get

#td2-build-advice should have a list saved

[vocal halo]

keener fr did a graves "i wasnt on that dock"

[hollow acorn]

Game crashed so bad it almost bricked my laptop

The monitor shut off completely

[undone timber]

is this a hardware issue or is your game just wilding

[opal radish]

Bruh

Driver issue

[hollow acorn]

There was an error message before, something along the lines of "ntkeepvirtualmemory.. error error-"

[hollow acorn]

Is this a known issue

[opal radish]

Wait are you running a k series Intel processor? It's a laptop

[hollow acorn]

I do

12th gen i5

I dont know about k series

[opal radish]

It's a laptop so it won't be an issue

[hollow acorn]

I5-12450H

[opal radish]

Bsods happens with drivers

Or some hardware is faulty

[hollow acorn]

What the hell, its that bad?

[opal radish]

Sometimes yes. Sometimes a driver update fixes it

I would recommend to try DDU and install drivers for GPU again

[blazing sleet]

When's the next update

[undone timber]

not for a while

next season is in 6 weeks

[kind veldt]

there might be few minor patches to fix stuff, no big content patches until next season

[silent nymph]

and for the next 4 weeks we will get the final league as well as 3 events

[undone timber]

reanimated is gonna go so hard

primetime farming

[real creek]

20.4 is on the books but who knows when it'll happen.

[dark kayak]

heya

[stuck sapphire]

Hiya

[tawny garden]

Reanimated is goat

[azure lintel]

spoiler for the manhunt:

did anyone notice that the
||freedom hunter's clothes is kinda similar of a true son?||

[undone timber]

reanimated is perfect for proficiency and general farming

as long as you have determined and headhunter it's free asf

[small spear]

regulus headhunt the world

[undone timber]

uhh he's dressed in very patriotic attire idk what to tell you

true sons are ex army

[azure lintel]

well whats the only other faction to dress like that tho

[kind veldt]

i doubt they picked him from there, seeing how menancing they try to sell them as

while true sons are being sold as schoolyard bullies way over their heads

[undone timber]

survival was the peak hunter experience

[azure lintel]

they had a hunter recruited from the cleaners, so there's a chance

[kind veldt]

?

if you talking about wright is the other way arround, he was borrowed to cleaners

[azure lintel]

ah

[kind veldt]

via nat that borrowed him from cal

[azure lintel]

idk, but the dress blue pants which are worn by some of the true son units which is seen on the hunter kinda sells it

[kind veldt]

well cant deny that hunters are a very cosplayer centric group

[undone timber]

hunters and rogues have infinite drip

[kind veldt]

perks of not being playable

[small spear]

hunters and rogues vs agent with third person peek

who will win?

[undone timber]

agent

cant shoot what you can't see

mainly

[kind veldt]

thats like asking any boxer vs little mac

[azure lintel]

no HUD and first person would go crazy (I'm cooked)

[undone timber]

sir this is a third person cover shooter

[azure lintel]

imagine if it wasn't tho

[undone timber]

heavily reliant on hud

[azure lintel]

that's why I'm saying I'd be cooked if the hud was removed

and if every single enemy didn't have a flashlight strapped to their chest too

[small plume]

I still disturbed with what I saw yesterday.

[undone timber]

try not to think too hard about it

[small plume]

I'm trying, but it's so absurd.
MAYBE they're thinking about something cool for the next season, but for now I'm just sad.

[opal radish]

Hunters oxi

[stuck sapphire]

Give us a game mode where 1 players controls a hunter. Have 4 pre-set agent loadouts. Would be pogs.

1 hunter vs a 4 man squad would be nice.

[undone timber]

4 man would wipe the floor with the hunter

[stuck sapphire]

Not if they balance it properly.

That's why there is pre-set loadouts for the agents.

[undone timber]

even without CC 1 guy can't fight off 4 at the same time

[stuck sapphire]

The rouges in the dark zone would disagree.

[undone timber]

thats why I added at the same time

gotta take em 1 by 1 in the dz

[azure lintel]

hunters and rogues have all 6 red blue and yellow cores I swear

[shy musk]

memento in every slot

[inner elbow]

Memento classified gear set:
6pc bonus: +6 skill tier +6 blue core +90% weapon damage

[full zinc]

Not to mention the 180% skill efficiency, 18% armor regen

[small plume]

I honestly think Kelso really isn't happy with what's happening, her face doesn't match Keener's and Theo's.

Although I dislike the HQ of the Division, something is wrong.

I think we'll save her, probably.

Yeah, I replayed that mission to look to that cutscene again (and get my revenge on that trash hunter).

There's a last collectible from the Vanguard I couldn't find, do anyone know what it may be?

[inner elbow]

Manny is a loser not a leader

[dark kayak]

Need someone to help with the last Civic Center bounty : Challenging BT duo bosses

[inner elbow]

Someone said you gotta redo the entire manhunt

[small plume]

I did, and here I am.

Wait, you mean the entire thing? Restart it?

[opal radish]

Yup

[small plume]

Ok, this is insane.

[kind veldt]

Well i sure as hell dont want to do the paper work

[small plume]

I think it's interesting that we play a character who's legit mute, but this is kinda stressing because we can't tell Manny or Roy wtf is going on.

[real creek]

Me reading your text, ah no way to communicate that.

[small plume]

I found a kitty in Haven.

[real creek]

Animal shelter has tons of.... Animals.

[small plume]

Well, I think I saw only 2.

[real creek]

Bro there are cats, dogs, a deer, and a rabbit chilling with the deer too I think.

[small plume]

Have never seen any, not like I really pay attention to this place tho.

[fluid meadow]

Don't let that guy who wants venison to hear about this

[real creek]

Breh I love me some venison.

[wind atlas]

for a love of god please replace kelso's voice in countdown

[dark kayak]

Finding the last bounty on Civic Center was so stupidly hard

[real creek]

All NY bounties are dumb. It's 90% running with how they changed them.

[dark kayak]

And even if I already knew they were hiding in the sub-permarket, god awful cannot scratch how hard it was to find the entrance

[inner elbow]

Facts

[tawny garden]

For Div3 or the DLC i just wish there was more grind to setting up the equipment
the watch and expertise is cool to level but i miss a bit of continuous progression in the equipment part
We can go and do stuff like summit or countdown and farm some nearly godrolled set in an evening
Then you have your build done and than what?

Look at it in awe

the char progression out of the end is a bit flat

[stuck sapphire]

The sense of progression and grind is really good now in div 2 imo. Some QoL for div 3 and it'll be perfect

[kind veldt]

Well new item type to grind is coming

[dark kayak]

I got 2 teal-tier objects (dfk the name, after Prem) and a Brutus sniper.
Sent the objects to my stash and faved the sniper.....
THE WORKSHOP HAD ME SACRIFICE THEM FOR BETTER STATS

[golden sandal]

quick question: is it possible to have the headshot bonus without having to use a for example 12x scope?! Would like to have the bonus but dont like the extreme zoom o_o´

[kind veldt]

Nope

If a scope has auto zoom, then its always on

[golden sandal]

ah damn, because I always tend to aim with right klick and almost never hip-fire... Dont like the stats of the short range scopes though ahhh... ^^

[real creek]

Just no scope it then.

That HSD on a proper MMR build is almost nothing.

[small spear]

^

you already one shot everything without that hsd bonus

[kind veldt]

Moar headshot damage

[real creek]

noh

[spice zinc]

manhunt bounty castle clinton is not registering for me the rope wont come down is the bounty bugged?

[real creek]

Put a scanner pulse on and kill all things in the area.

They spawn outside of castle clinton and do faction warfare most the time.

[fossil pelican]

If theres other enemies in the area the rope wont drop

[umbral tiger]

finished vanguard (so spoilers for those who havent finished)... ||all i have to say is when is the inevitable "player character is also keener's little rogue plaything" because its getting to the point that we have literally no good agents left in this game anymore... its also getting tiring seeing everyone turn constantly, over and over and over, also keener having plot armor as per usual never stays dead. Maybe we just need to start canonically grabbing a MG in cutscenes and unloading hundreds of bullets into them.||

[fossil pelican]

Like souless suggested use a pulse. There was a supply drop near by for me I had to clear before the rope would drop down

[fiery cloud]

Hey Souless

[vernal berry]

||we have manny and odessa 🙃 ||

[wispy burrow]

|| keener was never declared dead by Isaac so it somewhat makes sense ||

[sand herald]

Hey massive wanna get your game under control soon?... I mean counted 14 cheaters in DZ today getting worse by the days....

now they don't even care and blasting you through walls with a rapid firing nemesis 😄

[stuck sapphire]

I think it was explained rather properly. I feel like the only people being mad over it are just upset it's such a simple and to the point explanation. Some people expect way too much from story writers imo.

[fair lake]

I want to have a logical explanation, why not a single agent in the cutscene bothers to deliver the "final shot" into the head

[civic ridge]

So that things can be retconned later for dramatic effect

[stuck sapphire]

Good grief. Some of y'all are simply debbie downers.

[real creek]

Ah yes people who share their dislike and those that share their dislike of those disliking. Are they truely different or maybe the same?

[dusty iron]

|| im 90% sure the dlc will have a choice between being rogue and not ||

[stuck sapphire]

Let's ask the magic 8 ball, then we roll a D20.

[real creek]

Balls do be ballin.

[mystic zenith]

hello! suche nach deutschen spieler bei intresse einfach per dm anschreiben

[stuck sapphire]

I do think that a true Aaron Keener boss fight should be in raid format. Have some named hunters and potentially an option to join him or not. Have the raid squad turn on each other and fight during the final boss fight. Just an idea.

[dark kayak]

|| I mean he did not look very alive after having his ass given in LI ||

[wispy burrow]

Lol true

[civic ridge]

|| I usually double tap him after finishing the (non story) mission ||

[dark kayak]

|| I mean I only finished the Civic Center part this afternoon, tanks so someone else's help ||

[rigid wedge]

||reminded me Army of Two man||

[astral cliff]

@unborn vigilthe mask you get for killing the hunter is pretty cool

[rigid wedge]

Also my opinion on the season (Spoilers included! Do not reveal if you do not wanna get spoiled!)

||well. It was gonna happen and it did happen. Kelso going Rogue was inevitable. However Keener surviving Liberty Island and Theo surviving The Tombs was something I did not expect. Seems like the writers really wanted to do more with those two and said fuck it. Don't get me wrong. The mission and set up was solid. But holy shit the bounties did not have to be long fetch quests across the districts. And that's the worst part about Vanguard. The bounties are too long and an slog to do. I had no problem taking down control points but the bounties sucked. Overall. This season was good but some parts was held down.||

[azure lintel]

Any word on the final comm piece

i just want muh trophy

[real creek]

Full reset the manhunt. Re run the entire thing.

[compact wadi]

Just finished vanguard, is eberyone else comms collectables for vanguard t 25/26 ?

or have I missed one?

sorry kelso manhunt

[deep flare]

@compact wadi Did you do the last manhunt mission again ? For some it worked. For other people like me, i had to restart the whole manhunt and complete it again

[compact wadi]

boooo, ok thanks for help, I'll have to do it later 🙂

[still marsh]

Please no spoilers guys but how tf do I get into castle Clinton?

I literally cannot get in to do the bounty

[stuck sapphire]

Go in Through the ropes in front. Take a right. Or go through the back and interact with the closed off area

[undone timber]

Use a pulse and check the area for adds

[still marsh]

Already have and reset it twice and everytime I clear the enemies and then nothing

[undone timber]

Are you sure your adds aren't getting caught in open world activities or anything

[green night]

more enemies spawn outside on left from a vent - if there are randoms out there they do dumb stuff

[still marsh]

Okay will try thanks

[frozen meadow]

ok so i uh cant finish the manhunt

"nearby side mission must be completed before starting the bounty"

[green night]

yeah if you haven't done Federal Reserve or Doyle street you'll need to do them first.

[frozen meadow]

i did lol

all side missions done

[kind veldt]

r u sure?

[hybrid ore]

You physically have to do those in order to complete WONY.
It's a requirement before you fight Keener.

[frozen meadow]

oh restarting fixed it

[kind veldt]

well guess that's that

[frozen meadow]

lol

btw finals over 🥳

so far grades look amazing

[kind veldt]

tahts good, enjoy a break

[frozen meadow]

you know it

[small spear]

congrats

From what i understood from the final note, ||she is not actually rogue, she is a double agent.||

[lunar hare]

yay! Game crashed mid manhunt bounty 😃

[rigid wedge]

Ah

It seems like my post in #divashion was removed. Someone did not like it. Oh well. I'm not gonna complain. In fact I will take a picture again that isn't in a spoiler moment. My apologies.

[opal radish]

Hey eevee are you launching new raid

[lunar hare]

Put THIS text -and the one below - between two ||

[frozen meadow]

WAHT THE FUCK HAPPENED IN THE MNISSION

@clever blade i think youre right

[frank rover]

It's a fucking spoiler

[broken solstice]

||brain still processing ||

[void fiber]

I seem to always have too much materials when I try to disassemble gear. What am I not spending on? I’m spending a lot on the tinkering station to tweak gear and I’m doing the weekly SHD cache project.

[hybrid ore]

A lot of the more common materials will build up quite fast and aren't really used in all that much, so it's very easy to max out on them.

also the Brandset/Gearset mats are basically never used after a certain point.

[void fiber]

Ahhh ok. Thanks

[limpid kindle]

no, its not a spoiler, its a assumption that I said about Kelso, that's is different

[hybrid ore]

The reveal of a character becoming Rogue is a spoiler however, and it's appreciated that for the first week people tag it as such when outside of #division-universe

[frank rover]

^^^^^

[frank rover]

😅

[kind veldt]

'ill just say something random so people dont read the random spoilers that folks are leaving

[muted narwhal]

No spoilers :
End of season playout stunned me.I was left asking Why... Couldn't sleep for 2 hrs past my bedtime time searching the answer ... It was a shocking end. Few good guys left on the Agent's side to protect civilians and freedom and now this. Either a dictator or anarchy to choose from ? I m extremely disappointed...

[wind atlas]

||we just turning rogue and also our AI isac will be replace into anna (theo will reprogram anna so cal he no longer access on anna) because cal have access on isac. keener is turning into a good guy now if you repeat the last comms he says "he misjudged us and faye lau" so in the end of day rogue agents vs all of them. cal and nat are the biggest threat||

[stuck sapphire]

I think a lot of people are misjudging what happens at the end tbh. Oh well. Can't wait for the DLC. I need more.

[odd totem]

Just wondering if the crashing problem on countdown is ever going to be fixed. Shit is annoying, I keep losing out on so much gear because I crash all the damn time. Project resolve nothing more like it.

[lunar hare]

Mmmm, Chamaleon on my knees, what should I do to it?

[halcyon radish]

sold it

[lunar hare]

nah, that's worthless

I have 214k creds, why would I need more?

[halcyon radish]

it still below average tbh

[small spear]

exotic component

[lunar hare]

Last bounty before I get to know what these people are complaining about

[full zinc]

You can use some of the excess materials like reciever components or protective fabrics on expertise donations . Donatioms to bad skills and exotics/named items you dont have would make the biggest impact.

[dark kayak]

Finished Civic Center's Kelso hunt, which district should I do next ?
3 left to do

[lunar hare]

They're all almost the same, don't really matter

[dark kayak]

Rbh I feel like NY is just too long for its own good.
The map itself, as well as the hunt

I had more fun playing in Washington even if it was 3 times longer and bigger imo

[hybrid ore]

The Bounties in NYC are much more travel heavy than in DC, so they feel a lot longer.

A good comparison to make is if every DC bounty was like the Medical Camp.

[lunar hare]

Spoiler alert for the Manhunt!

||ok, now I get it. But why did Keener clone our watch when we became Rogue? ikik, none of us have a clue.||

[undone timber]

|| we have keeners watch||

[lunar hare]

||I have a goldfish memory, wdym?||

[azure lintel]

|| booom!! ||

[undone timber]

We stole it on liberty island

[lunar hare]

Oh right, I forgot about that

[azure lintel]

should i finish d1 or leave it and start d2

i played for 30hrs

[hexed sentinel]

Woh woah woh what the hell is happening in here

Did i miss that much of a story in game?

[lunar hare]

Your choice

[undone timber]

Manhunt finale dropped

Big revelation

[azure lintel]

you recommend underground dlc ?

[undone timber]

Underground is good yes

[hexed sentinel]

I need to catch up

[lunar hare]

Haven't played div1 yet, idk

[undone timber]

If you ever get round to it I'll carry

[azure lintel]

that dark snow new york is way better than washington

[lunar hare]

sounds like I missed 90% of the juicy story

[undone timber]

Div 1 story was pretty inconsequential in the grand scheme of thing other than taking the LMB out of commission

Love the missions though

Also survival alone is totally worth

[azure lintel]

you guys really care about story in division ? Xd
it's fun play with friends

solo is fun too

[undone timber]

Of course

[azure lintel]

and hard

[undone timber]

More interesting having a reason why you're shooting everyone

[azure lintel]

some missions i coundnt finish solo

[azure lintel]

lol

[undone timber]

Huh which one

[azure lintel]

chopper

[undone timber]

Ohhh general assembly

[azure lintel]

and dark zone

[undone timber]

I know a skip for that one that makes it like 2x faster

[azure lintel]

i finished someone helped

[undone timber]

Ayy

[fossil tartan]

manhunt bugged. AGAIN!

cant do the debrief.. cant access the computer

had a group member who had done it, so i suppose that bugged it.

this isn't the first time this has happened.

how to fix this?

play the tanker again by my self?

[undone timber]

Yes

It won't let you debrief if you haven't personally finished it as well

[inner elbow]

Just go back into your own session

[fossil tartan]

he jumped out of the group. i closed the game. and loaded back in. still wasn't there (the access to the computer).
so i have to play it again i suppose.

[inner elbow]

Interesting

[fossil tartan]

yeah. this is not the first time.

usually. if the buddy (who has done it) jumps out before i go to the debrief it works. but he didnt tell me he had done it. so i went in to haven him still in the group.

we were in my session.

[civic ridge]

Manhunt completion does not seem to like co-op play

[dark kayak]

Finally gave Sword&Anvil the lead dose they needed....
Sadly their underlings gunned me down because of a lack of ammo ;-;

so I couldn't loot their ass

[primal skiff]

Fellow agents its a not huge milestone but i finally hit 250

[nimble mauve]

g'morning all

[young tiger]

@primal skiff Congrats man!

[civic ridge]

One has to start somewhere. GG.

[primal skiff]

Thanks sorry for late reply was finishing the hunt

Also is the hunt still considered spoiler or no?

[civic ridge]

To some maybe, but if anyone pays any attention here, they're likely to have completed it.

[primal skiff]

Ok so they are essentially setting up 3 i was ligit shocked when i saw kelso "betray" us

My jaw DROPPED

[stuck sapphire]

I got her jacket. That's all i needed.

[primal skiff]

What?

How

@stuck sapphire do u mean the patch or kelso's actual jacket?

[stuck sapphire]

Her actual jacket

[primal skiff]

How? Is it given on finishjng the hunt? I was soo distracted i did not notice

[stuck sapphire]

Nah. I bought it. It's in the shop.

[primal skiff]

Oh ok ok textile buy possible?

[stuck sapphire]

Nope.

[delicate rose]

is there a chance that vivian conley outfit will come back

[rain lynx]

hi im 23 from 26 colectibles on vanguard how to get to 26 so i can unlock trophy?

[undone timber]

if theres enough demand

conleys is my least favourite though it's quite basic

[devout girder]

What is the best and quickest way to farm specialisation points to upgrade specialisations?

[kind veldt]

invaded missions, level ups, and some bounties also give extra spec points

[devout girder]

Thanks

[full zinc]

Projects also give some iirc. So like weekly shd/daily/weekly stuff

[dark kayak]

Should I stay in Normal diff skill directive, or do I go Hard skill directive ?

[real creek]

You should try to get WAY up on diff. Heroic is default for most with some doing challenging so they can no brain/afk/maybe get a similar time/xp gain.

I don't think the diff increases are too noticable until you go from challenging to heroic anyway.

[dark kayak]

Honestly yeah I didn't see too much of a diff (expect for a FUCKING war between BT and Rikers) between normal and hard

Just, how tough is Heroic ?
Any major step-up ?

As in one rule that truly makes it harder ?

[real creek]

Personally I think anyone should just go to challenging make a scuff build and go to heroic but I get not everyone is good at games and just wanna chill and have fun. So bump it till it's easy and try out a new diff if you are worried. Can always go back.

[dark kayak]

(cuz the skill directive is the only one that REALLY is fair even if sometimes annoying)

[real creek]

I mean tons of us run 4-5 directives on heroic all the time.

[dark kayak]

;-;
fok

I'll crank up to Challenging then

The "hardest" directives ?
The ones you just wonder "wtf"

[kind veldt]

Stay in challenging until you get used to it and feels like a cakewalk

Then jump to heroic later

[tropic compass]

Enemy medics can resurrect people from the dead is any one surprised that ||the same wouldn't happen to Keener/such||

[stuck sapphire]

They're just salty because it was a simple and to the point explanation.

[pliant ledge]

Nah, I just feel that the ||return of Keener|| could have absolutely been done a whole lot better.

That and somehow folks seem to forget that the gameplay and the way the story plays out are unfortunately separate. Sure you might've absolutely ||Force fed Keener, Theo, & Schaeffer tens of hundreds of rounds to the face|| But in the story that didn't happen. Very out of the dumpster writing, however its the one we got.

[void parrot]

is the manhunt still bugged on pc

[hybrid ore]

Bugged in what way?

[void parrot]

i can not get the final comms

[hybrid ore]

As per #news-and-announcements, you need to replay the entire Manhunt, not just the final mission.
"reset" from the Manhunt menu.

[void parrot]

ok thanks for your help its a bit shit doing it all again

[hybrid ore]

The final mission is shorter than most NYC bounties, so at least it's fairly quick.
plus there's no reason to rush it, you have until the end of this Season.

[void parrot]

ok no wurrys the devs really need sort there shit out this is not the first time this has happend

[civic ridge]

I just speedran the mahunt on an alt and even though I ended up at 24/26 I did get the last one.

[void parrot]

well whoopy doo

[civic ridge]

?

[hybrid ore]

@void parrot It's okay to be annoyed at having to re-do something, but drop the attitude against other players.

[stuck sapphire]

Running it on normal is very quick.

[hybrid ore]

I'd estimate an hour or so on Normal, last mission included.
and again: you don't need to rush, you have until the end of the Season to complete it if you want the backpack trophy too, and you have forever if you don't care and just want the comm.

[stuck sapphire]

Yeah. It's really not imperative. You don't have to complete the whole thing in a day

[hybrid ore]

Once a Season is over, you can re-run the final mission and each boss will drop 1 "comm" every re-run.
The only exception to this is maybe the Recruiter puzzle, but that's like 20 minutes total.

[kind veldt]

Bold of you to assume it wont be bugged, jk

[void parrot]

ok no wurrys i will just re do it

[hybrid ore]

I mean, all the rest work fine post-release. I ran all of them on a new alt and got comms from all previous Manhunts.

[kind veldt]

It was just a joke

[hybrid ore]

"this is broken, jk"

[kind veldt]

Yeah something in the future, thats why its a joke

[stuck sapphire]

Wack, jk, lol, uwu.

Tis a funny. Put one of those at the end. It eases tension

[hybrid ore]

Reminds me of that early XKCD.

"wait there's no turtle"
"hah, fooled you!"```

[lunar hare]

I did

[stuck sapphire]

Pogs.

[void fiber]

If I need to defeat ‘named black tusks’, what does that mean? I thought it was a bounty I get from a public execution but apparently not. It’s for the NYC weekly ‘NYC Housekeeping’ project.

[small spear]

black tusk bosses

they are elites with names

[void fiber]

Ahh so just look for elite patrols?

[hybrid ore]

Bounties are the easiest way to find them.
That or run the Invaded Missions, assuming it counts if you do them in DC.

[azure lintel]

:Seele_Peek:

rip externals i keep forgetting

[hybrid ore]

They'd be nice to have, but I've also seen enough horrible ones where I 100% understand why we don't.

[azure lintel]

indeed

[dark sand]

afraid so

[azure lintel]

Am I mistaken or didn't the Legendary strongholds used to count for "Invaded Strongholds" objectives in projects?

[sudden wagon]

So I just played thru the first story level 1 - 30

should I go through all 5 world teirs

or go to warlords of new york?

[hybrid ore]

It's recommended for your first character that you take it "slow" and do the World Tiers first.

tl;dr you can't replay the story parts later if you use the skip.

[sudden wagon]

alright sweet thats what ill do

I mean I didnt use the level skip to get the story and the 5 world teirs cant be to bad!

[sudden wagon]

should I jjust go through the main missions and strongholds?

or should I bother to take the control points again

[molten spire]

just do the main missions and strongholds, you can take the control points if the gear obsolescence doesn't bother you

[keen osprey]

What are the chances of us getting that final com to drop from the manhunt replay next season?

I can't conjure up the motivation to run thru all those bounties again to get it. 😭

[stuck sapphire]

Just blaze through it on normal.

[undone timber]

Now that they've made it so legacy manhunts drop all Comms after repeated runs you'll probably be able to get it after

[kind veldt]

they said something on twitter about, on paper it should work later but you just never know

[azure lintel]

pfft

just spent ages farming for flawless on the thingy

incursion

and i can say the build feels good

[stuck sapphire]

I still need to do the incursion.

[void fiber]

Is there a cap to critical hit chance? Can’t seem to get it over 60%

[stuck sapphire]

Yes

[void fiber]

So I should back off some critical hit chance mods then? It’s basically a waste?

[stuck sapphire]

Yeah. I'd say focus on damage

Crit damage

[void fiber]

Thanks

[stuck sapphire]

No probs

[lapis junco]

just do CHC * CHD

or is it CHD/CHC

or whatever way around

[lapis junco]

this is right

[lunar hare]

I'd say optimal is 52%

[lapis junco]

do that. take highest number with CHC being atleast over 52

that can vary depending on your group but for now just do 52

assuming your low SHD 50 is fine too

as you level itll slowly go up

[lunar hare]

I saw a skill build at CD with cluster mines and stinger hive at the extraction phase, and I was like "we're gonna get cooked here". All 4 Hunters were killed within 15 seconds

[wispy niche]

How far do most people get on their first attempt at a Hardcore Agent? I managed to get to level 14 in 9 hours before dying. So close to L15

[tame merlin]

Got mine till 40 and did the DH raid for the commendation or armpatch whatever it was.
Than I deleted it

Just play your Hardcore character as if you are playing a Legendary mission, play it safe
Don't rush, take your time, etc

[wispy niche]

Dang nice job

I can't even imagine fighting black tusk robots with permadeath liability

[tame merlin]

Did get REALLY lucky tho, I just came back from getting a drink after completing Tidal Basin.
But if you completed that you go to the next world tier, but you get respawned somewhere infront of Tidal Basin where those turrets are.
They started shooting me the moment I sat down and took a sip of my drink.
My heart rate at that moment tho😬

So keep that in mind if you get there...

Fast travel after it says complete🤣

[wispy niche]

I got stuck inside a glitched door during one of my missions and thought I was a goner lol. But I wiggled free before they started shooting at me

[tame merlin]

Nice

How did you die at the end?

[wispy niche]

I got ambushed in bad cover

armor kit wasn't fast enough

[still juniper]

man, using regulus with DCG is so fun

[tame merlin]

That's too bad, especially when you survived the stuck on the door thing.

These kind of things happen to me in Descent a lot.
I survive the most difficult boss situations, only to get killed in the next loop by something simple as a red enemy with 3HP left🤣

[wispy niche]

I only got back into the game a couple weeks ago. Haven't even tried Descent yet

But yeah I knew going into that Space Administration HQ mission that I've got a history of dying on solo without a good build, and that's what happened

Those bad guys enter the map from like every direction and visibility into that happening is not great

Wish I had Unbreakable haha

I know there's some skill that does like an auto revive, does that work on Hardcore Agent?

looks like reddit says reviver hive will pick you up if you're down but dead is dead

[tame merlin]

Yeah revive hive picks you up in Hardcore, but it has a longer cooldown than the rest of the skills.
So if you get downed again within that time you're done

[wispy niche]

yeah, seems like a useless skill assignment. would be better off with a healer skill

is there a better skill set for hardcore than shield and something for attack like striker drone? I love striker drone for how well it distracts the enemies

[tame merlin]

Idk if it's still like that
But it doesn't help if you have more skill tiers, as you then have the cooldowns of multiple Revive Hives before you can use it again.
Tier 6 let's you pick up others 6x, but if you get downed it picks you up and you lose the other 5 as well (than you get the cooldown of 6 revives before you can use it again😑

[tame merlin]

I did drone and turret, because if you don't shoot the enemies, the enemies turn to the turret as well

[wispy niche]

I was reticent to call for backup at all on account of it doesn't seem like it would be obvious that I absolutely must not die

I wonder what would happen to other people in the group session if the session owner was hardcore but died

Oh, turns out coop in hardcore matches only hardcore agents. Probably should have tried to get some help

[tame merlin]

Now you know that for next time if it happens😂

[dark kayak]

I like the gun shield more than the static turret cuz I appreciate rushing on enemies sometimes

And when you are cornered and need to swipe up the place it is useful with or without a striker drone

[wispy niche]

I always thought the turret was kind of a pain in the butt. Managing line of sight is a hassle

Striker drone is nice because it's largely autonomous and will try to acquire line of sight if possible

My other characters all run Hard Wired/China Light/crusader shield/cluster mine because that build is just so op af

nothing quite like 30% bonus damage cluster mines with 12 second cooldown

[still juniper]

hold on, since when could you hold the grenade button to swap between concussion and your specialist nade

[cinder cloud]

should've did descent before the changes

e.e

[fallow geyser]

uhhhh, i can't quite remember but i believe it was before the current season

[fallow geyser]

and what's happened? did they nerf something into the ground? or are you referring to the talent pool refresh

[civic ridge]

This reminds me: Was the old Descent project reward an Exotic Cache, or was that only for your very first kill?
I only finished 1 before the changes and now you get it from the nemesis, with the project rewarding a comm.

[azure lintel]

oh yeah i got a question

how come in all the time the new york expansion has been out

we still havent had dz added to the map ;-;

[cinder cloud]

it was just easier clearing the rooms before, now i can't even get to the nemesis

[cinder cloud]

i honestly don't remember

[obsidian rapids]

guys where i can farm chill out named mask

[tender wave]

It only drops during Xmas holiday season

[tender wave]

Yup, but equally you probably won't find many hc agents answering random backup calls as you're essentially going in blind, it's quite a risk

Although I guess if you're still on story difficulty it's safer

[gaunt mica]

I think u get the exotic cache still but after the u finish that descent run

instead of it being a project it jus goes into ur inv

[cyan narwhal]

imagine a pulse skill that ignite enemy in range..

[coral ferry]

Is there anybody else got cringe feeling during Kelso twist? Maybe I’ve missed something, but was really disappointed. Anyone can explain the meaning of this twist?

[kind veldt]

||kelso while investigating stuff stumbled into keeners leftover messages he did for faye about getting ready to fight cal and nat. They are partially rewritting him as being aware that both of them let green poison happen so they could get rid of president and other people in charge to put themselves in charge of the US.

Meanwhile the division would be used to clean up any straggler factions such as cleaners and rikers, then later use hunters to get rid of whoever got too aware of the situation by calling them rogue. Kelso found about this and decided that cal and nat are the true enemy and need to be stopped.||

I just woke up so definetly a bunch of typos in there, but i think this is the current overall plot

[dark kayak]

The three dogs bounty is just too fucking hard to finish cuz I'm constantly swarmed once I arrive at the pier zone

I've killed the two first, however Hound is the biggest bish I've fought so far

[kind veldt]

Jammer pulse

[real creek]

Nego?

[cinder cloud]

pistol whip the 3rd dog

[azure lintel]

15 attempts at trying to flawless paradise lost and still havent ;-;

[stuck sapphire]

Rip. I wish you luck. I should try that. I haven't done it at all yet.

[azure lintel]

its pain and suffering

anything other than wright is easy to flawless

[stuck sapphire]

That's the fun part. I love struggling for a victory.

[azure lintel]

wright isnt ;-;

its fun until youve spent hours trying it

[stuck sapphire]

I am just a crazy gal doe. As long as no toxic agent is yelling at me, i'll be fine.

[wispy burrow]

Is flawless the only way to get the mask??

[timber hatch]

Yes

[wispy burrow]

Shit

[azure lintel]

yep ;-;

ive been trying for ages

since uhhh 11pm

[timber hatch]

One thing that can help on flawless wright is one dps player running tardigrade. Helps with weights stupid hit boxes, and you should still have plenty of DPS in your group

[azure lintel]

and it is now 3pm

[wispy burrow]

I'll try to get it with my clan

[timber hatch]

Also ask @real creek to run with you.

[azure lintel]

i was running it with another group then got another group again

but both are now of to either eep or do life stuff

and now i want to eep

but the maskkk

[wispy burrow]

Then go sleep, you have plenty of time lol

[dark kayak]

What's jammer pulse already ?

[azure lintel]

true but i also wanna get the mask ;-;

suffering from my need for fashion

[dark kayak]

suffering from style

[real creek]

I'll be on this weekend to teach/help people run.

[azure lintel]

ngl ive been playing so much the last 2-3 days

i went from 0 to 66 on the pass

[fluid meadow]

You can hotswap that if you don't have coyote and any player with no armor can get the bonus armor as soon as you equip it

[azure lintel]

and i havent even done raids (which tbf ive never done before) or countdown or anything like that

im just running the no brain cyote build

[undone timber]

Countdown is easy asf it's the go to for farming

As for raids also easy asf for you cuz they'll just get you to sit on some doors

[dark kayak]

is it timed ?

[undone timber]

Yes

[azure lintel]

i nomrally do summit since i can run it solo with a tank build and just not care

[undone timber]

Very difficult to run out of time though

[dark kayak]

I'll try to do summit as high as possible (if I recall you guys have said it's a 100 room dungeon which saves the current room, ight ?)

[undone timber]

Saves every boss floor

[dark kayak]

every 5 floor ?

[undone timber]

There's an unusual fire team every like 3 floors

[dark kayak]

unusual ?

[undone timber]

True boss floors are every 10

[azure lintel]

i think imma grab food chill on phone then eep

[dark kayak]

5pm in HONHON country atm

[undone timber]

I don't remember if named enemies were every 3 floors or 10 but you get a checkpoint every 3

[real creek]

A wise man once told me to just not fuck it up.

[timber hatch]

Did the wise man listen to his own advice?

Spoiler: No

[real creek]

Quite the opposite. He'd forget the plan we just made.

idk why but duo incursions are so fun.

[undone timber]

My last run the leader wouldn't let me oxi the turrets because apparently it doesn't work

People make the craziest statements on the incursion

[real creek]

You should have just done it.

Someone wanted a line up vid of it and so I did the turrets with oxy solo. Destroyed both of them ez with running up.

[undone timber]

I did after we wiped
