[inland kindle]

You got

I just want to be free, so little limits are useless

[full zinc]

it isnt a crazy jump tbh, you just cant facetank on heroic

[inner elbow]

I guess, when you're not properly equipped, you will notice the difference in difficulty, not so much when you are

[inland kindle]

I dont understand your opinion, it does change nothing for you

[full zinc]

i mean, if they fuck something up with changing inventory parameters, you could get all gear wiped... hell they cant even always add talents correctly without jacking up a whole category of weapons, that was a recent thing too... the less they change the better

at 6600 hrs im not worried about a ton of new shit or pleasing people with less than 500 hrs..

[inland kindle]

I think its just chaning a value

Im shd 2k+ and got around 1k hours wtf are u talking about

[kind veldt]

and then the whole system crashes down because it cant count pass 12 or something

[full zinc]

theyve already made the game super easy compared to the old days

[kind veldt]

codding can be stupidly finnicky a lot of times

[inland kindle]

or it couldnt

[inner elbow]

You think?

[full zinc]

thats not a lot 6years in tbf

[kind veldt]

today patch kinda proves it's not in a good spot

[inland kindle]

ahah bro's reflex is too go checkpeople account

[full zinc]

how? you can tell by the way people talk if they been around for a long time or not

[inland kindle]

their lovely patch so I can craft god rolled mods (:

its not an argument to use people experience

never has been one

[full zinc]

like saying shit is super easy to fix when the simplest things get effed up during most patches

[kind veldt]

i mean i'm using history of constant wonky updates

as localdeck mentioned earlier

they added more talents to the poll

that rerolled half of people's gear

[small spear]

something something saying about not knowing history and doomed to repeat something

[kind veldt]

that works too

[inland kindle]

Is adding a talent the same thing than changing a limit ? I dont think so
Is talking about their tech side relevant to the discussion ? I dont think neither

[kind veldt]

it's adding one more to a number like you mentioned earlier

[inner elbow]

The chamber of secrets has been opened again

[inland kindle]

Because I dont know more than you

[full zinc]

it represents a value in a database

one slip and boom, full wipe

[inland kindle]

They can test before? Doing backups ?
its not making any advance to think like the worlds is falling down

What do you know it will happen the same shit ?

How ?

[small spear]

trust me, if you had any good impressions about the development of this game, you'll be sorely disappointed

[kind veldt]

once again, today patch was meant to fix A, didnt fix A and added more issues?

[inland kindle]

ITS NOT THE SUBJECT OR TOPIC OHHHOHOHOH

[full zinc]

hows that been working the past year🤔

[inland kindle]

you keep talking about it

THERES SO MUCH FACTORS nah ?

[kind veldt]

yeah there are lot of factors that can go wrong

[inland kindle]

You are not working @ ubi i dont evenknow why you are talking about you know the ending

[kind veldt]

neither are you also

[inland kindle]

yeah but I dont pretend to say it will cause sh t in people's inventory and using it as an argument against a passive suggestion

[kind veldt]

we just talking about a bunch of "what ifs" at the end of the day

[inland kindle]

goodnight guys

[kind veldt]

i dont trust enough that they can do that without making things worst at this point

that's it

[full zinc]

we all entitled to an opinion.. you should realize you might get pushback when voicing those opinions.. just like any of us when we voice our own 💯

tc 🍻

[inland kindle]

You are comparing things that you cant compare

[full zinc]

looking at the update history for years, there doesnt need to be an equal comparison to know that anything can get totally jacked up... there have been plenty of issues with changes theyve made having totally unintended and unconnected consequences

[inland kindle]

OK their recents patches are maybe unstable but its not a reason to reject everything due to that

[full zinc]

it kindof is when its something that isnt going to bring any value to the game

[inland kindle]

And saying that im not considering peoples opinion is pure dishonesty

[full zinc]

you dont have to consider anyones opinion, but i dont believe i said that. giving pushback isnt being inconsiderate for either of us

[inland kindle]

Im criticizing your "pushbacks"

[full zinc]

criticize away 🍻 .. thats the nice thing here, a lot of us have very different opinions but still can get along at the end of the day... im just puting forward some old timer opinion on their great history of updates

[inner elbow]

I mean, given Massive/Ubisoft's track record of implementing new features/changes and ending up having to backfill the holes created in the process, it's better to err on the side of caution

@inland kindle In saying that, the game has come a long way in terms of QoL improvements, but with it came newly-introduced bugs, which some of them to this day are still not fixed. So make of it what you will

[full zinc]

@inner elbow how tf do i have 16 full loadouts on my main but only use mortar 90% of the time 🤣

i know you understand

[inner elbow]

Yeah

[inland kindle]

Now its personnal attacks

[full zinc]

you feel attacked?

[inland kindle]

You underestimate how many guys you can piss off with a mortar in dz

[full zinc]

well, no. i dont goto dz. but use mortar a lot

[inland kindle]

I thought you were talking about my builds

[inner elbow]

nope

[full zinc]

no, i was directing that to another mortar enjoyer

[inner elbow]

I am a mortar main.

well I was, until St. Elmo came around.

[inland kindle]

Sorry I called that a bot build

95% of dps are electric ar striker build now

[full zinc]

man, thats too bad .. i cant get off mortar unless the mm team doesnt have enough dps. then its old reliable nego

[inland kindle]

Im just the old (or weird?) guy with kingbrealer pulse

[inner elbow]

I still use a mortar build in certain situations, like DUA Legendary for when I want to muck around.

[inland kindle]

Its understable because green gear is easier to farm

[small spear]

i basically just run 2 builds nowadays

[inner elbow]

i mean, you do you lol, I use the Elmo to compensate for my skill issue in handling a gun..

[full zinc]

yeah all my alts have like 2 nego/striker (both with/without mahmento), hazpro eclipse, fire eclipse, highend unicorn mortar , highend dps, hotshot

i just farm exo components on all 4 alts so it helps having variety

i keep a few chest/bag variants for slightly different dps

i can do just about anything within those setups. my main has a few quirkier builds but they arent used a lot and always subject to change

[small spear]

for me it's just striker 200 or headhunter regulus

[full zinc]

well you dont join us plebs in heroic 😎

[small spear]

nahhhhh i already die when i join souless

i get carried when i'm with him

he carries me so that i only need 2 builds

[lunar hare]

Does Legendary, carries two builds, carries people thru leggie, also gets carried but can't get NBB

[inland kindle]

Where you can drop st elmos ar ?

[lunar hare]

Literally everywhere with AR TL

[full zinc]

countdown best option. target loot and exo cache purchases

[heavy prism]

The misinformation is high

[small spear]

weirdge

[heavy prism]

What weirdge

I'm just stopping misinformation

[full zinc]

so is apparel event broken? i though i saw mention earlier about keys not dropping...

[small spear]

the complaints were about the last key not dropping

i haven't gotten to that yet, keys before the last one are still dropping normally

[heavy prism]

How is sir behind

[small spear]

because work

[heavy prism]

Sir is XP farmer

[small spear]

excuse you 46k shd

[heavy prism]

Sir I have 0 apparel keys

[tired granite]

i love the sound of my lmg discharging the casings

[lunar hare]

M1 Garand pop sound 😩

[small spear]

idk how hyena rushers can melee a warhound but i can't

[tired granite]

all i hear are the sounds of the bullets hitting the enemies and the casings being discharged its amazing

[tired granite]

cause they are gods, they deal more melee dmg than all the agents combined

[small spear]

that's factually true

[lunar hare]

Sweet Dreams doesn't make this a thing also?

[small spear]

nah

your melee just doesn't hit electronics

[lunar hare]

then Cuddles is right. they're gods

[heavy prism]

They have St Elmo knife

[small spear]

lmfao

[heavy prism]

How do you feel when u fail melee bait and get one punched

[small spear]

i feel like a clown

[heavy prism]

Wrong answer

You are a god, you never failed melee bait

[small spear]

sir

[supple plover]

Umm are servers down?

im getting bravo 04

[dapper lark]

restart uplay

[supple plover]

Ay that did the trick. Thank you.

[unborn ravine]

LAWL No sound on all my guns. Great game. Great patch.

[tired granite]

even greater patch is the god rolls

[full zinc]

looks like inspect agent was fixed at least

[dim geyser]

does the servers work now?

I tried to play at 9 but the servers where unavailable

[full zinc]

yes, they are up. might need to restart ubi app

[lean grove]

Remove your silencers, silly.

[lunar hare]

It's a bug.

[lean grove]

Yea, I got that, lol.

[silent nymph]

Great just as I finished every single CP in here now they all rested here cause of this bug

[alpine gale]

hi all looking help wondering is their such a thing as aggro in this game its just been playing for couple of months and no matter what if im in room at back of map say miles away not shooting and 3 people on my team are face tanking npc they will ignore tham or run through them and shoot me even if im not shooting and the bullets also go through cover people i speak to say thats the game hot broke mess

[crystal jay]

whats the fast way to level up now to grind watch levels? is it still hotshot build and doing like control points?

[alpine gale]

thats what i was doing and open world stuff but ive noticed in the last couple of months im getting less xp for certain stuff even with all directives on

[crystal jay]

ohh damn

i wonder whats the current fast way now

[white mica]

Resource convoys and control points are still the way to go

[alpine gale]

thats the ones i was doing but the xp seems weird like i was getting more xp for them months ago compared to when i started doing them again 2 weeks ago

[white mica]

They've been trying to fix XP issues after they removed world tiers

So probably related to that change why you're seeing different XP than before

[alpine gale]

yeha getting so much less now but i always them on herioc all 5 directives on now the diff is o much less

[fading frigate]

Yo peeps

Is it possible to make a helldiverish outfit in The Division?

I feel extra patriotic today

[inner elbow]

Good gracious no

[fading frigate]

😦

[tired granite]

thanks game for killing the hunters for me... had to do the last 4 hunters in dc b4 going wony, the masks just droppped when i reached there.

[deep ibex]

anyone else getting bravo 04?

[tired granite]

nope

[deep ibex]

nvm im in

[hollow hill]

Sometimes a PC/Console restart fixes things. Bravo 4 errors have ramped up exponentially since the previous updates. Also random disconnects occur where your "internet speed isn't fast enough" when we all know that's BS because McDonald's wifi can load division 2 (don't ask me how I know)

[winged kiln]

anyone else having missing sounds on some guns?

[real creek]

Everyone is, big sound bug, so hot right now.

[tired granite]

imagine being able to hear lmg and rifle shooting sfx

[real creek]

I mean you can, just not your own.

[winged kiln]

ahh ok, i even tried to reinstall but it was still there

[deep ibex]

Anyone else who can't mod skills?

[steady tiger]

whats good for global diff setting?

[real creek]

Heroic all directives. Really it's personal preference and depends on you and your build/player skill.

[broken solstice]

if you'e comfortable wih challenging its a good time to start getting used to heroic

[kind veldt]

maybe guns arent bugged, but old people can no longer hear it like those mosquito noises

[tired granite]

are your skills on cooldown?

or your mods capacity are full

[scarlet citrus]

hi

[deep ibex]

no i get kicked out of the modding screen

Like I see my mods for a split second then it says I have no moids

[tired granite]

odd, never experienced it b4.

[ancient plover]

I think I could

You would need the power bank outfit or this apparel outfit

Which is like 50 % of the outfit

And a mask that covers the entire face

Or js be more creative then me 🤷‍♂️

I js realised I can make postal dude

[hollow heart]

so every time i Wisper a player my game Crashing !!!

dont Wisper in game

[timber hatch]

Yeah that's been an issue for the last couple updates...

I'm guessing not enough people use whisper for it to be a big priority but hopefully it gets fixed soon

The funny thing is even though it crashes your game it will still send the whisper. So the person gets it, likely responds and then also will crash

[hollow heart]

no offence but the new dev team responsible for updating Div 2 is very bad... they need to shake things up there. more them to something new, and bring the OG them who made the game and know what to do

every update they need to keep updating to fix the update then they need to update it again to fix the update that mean to fix the update and then.... so on ...

[tired granite]

welcome to ubisoft

[molten spire]

well they are trying to shake things up with Seasons 2.0

guess how well that's being received

[steady tiger]

it's hard for me to do ammo hoarder one, i cant remember where the restock boxes are

[molten spire]

yeah I only really started doing ammo hoarders after assembling a D50 Headhunter Determined build

or use Gunner spec for the ammo resupply passive

[ancient plover]

Can someone help me get nemesis

[trim herald]

I dont think ive ever come across another game or piece of software that is like this. Its insane.

and we're all the suckers paying for it lol

[ancient plover]

Quote of the day “ Fix 10 Bugs , Make 50 more “ - Div 2 Team

/hj

[trim herald]

Its like QA doesnt exist. they just code it and send it to production.

live servers is the QA i guess

When does season 2.0 start anyway? its not in the FAQ that i see or anywhere else i am lookinhg

[real creek]

iirc next season. What exactly seasons 2.0 will entail is still a bit tbd tho.

[trim herald]

Thanks. Just want to know how long i got to play before i get something else going

[timber hatch]

Tbh if your enjoying the current game, all that sounds like it will be there next season unchanged.

[trim herald]

but nothing new except for a 2wk period. So wait for the 2 weeks, play that then stop and wait for the next intermission. no thanks

[timber hatch]

You'll still be able to play your current character and do everything you can do now

[trim herald]

not really. im doing seasonal stuff now

i cant do that when 2.0 starts.

[timber hatch]

What seasonal stuff are you doing right now though?

[trim herald]

was working on the apparel and the echo event. plus the season pass for the cosmetics

[tired granite]

i cant wait for seasonal characters and get shat on by veterans

[trim herald]

Really wish they went the destiny 2 route instead of the diablo route.

[timber hatch]

This is from the q&a:

"Q: Will Seasonal characters have access to Global Events?

A: Global Events as they are right now will remain exclusive to non-seasonal characters due to their incompatibility with seasonal progression and modifiers in their current state. "

It's unclear at this point how things like the apparel events will work, but the current seasonal events are going to continue as regular character specific activities

[trim herald]

i see

[fading frigate]

Man
Jonathan Youngs line - My Bullets are Ballots , Im Casting my Vote goes so hard

[torpid tendon]

Server's down rn?

[full zinc]

I kinda think seasonal characters should be optional. I think they could incentivise its use by having regular agents progress at the same rate as now, but seasonal characters progress twice as fast. A lot of ppl would jump on the seasonal character to get fast progress while someone that just wants to run their normal routine isnt forced into a 2 week window for seasonal stuff.
Best of both worlds.

[torpid tendon]

I'm getting bravo-04

[full zinc]

Restart ubi. Common issue lately

[trim herald]

^

[torpid tendon]

Ty, that worked

[timber hatch]

They've put themselves in a corner by introducing a massive amount of power creep.... And I guess this is the best solution they've come up with...

[real creek]

No nerfs and no enemy balancing will do that to ya.

[hallow trench]

I'm sure these have been discussed to death but any word from the devs on the following bugs that I've noticed:

• No gun sound when shooting or missing ISIC lines.
• CP's not staying under friendly forces control after you log.
• Delta-03 or hardcrash after whispering to another agent.
• Crafting Table "issues"

[still temple]

they created a huge gap between veterans and new players, so this was their best solution to equalize everyone; not the smartest move tho

much better variant exposed by @full zinc above

[timber hatch]

Them removing experience from seasonal characters is very telling. That was a massive mistake by them, and opened the gap your talking about even further

[real creek]

expertise?

[timber hatch]

The experience system won't apply to season characters

[small spear]

you mean experience or expertise?

[real creek]

I think our boi is getting rekted by auto correct.

[small spear]

[still temple]

[timber hatch]

Expenguin

[full ether]

Heroic countdown is full of people who are playing division for the 1st time

[timber hatch]

And then wondering why they are getting kicked

[full ether]

0 map awareness and running around in circles. It’s like watching their 2 brain cells fighting for the 3rd place

[molten spire]

I'm surprised content creator build videos don't have more "I tried joining a Heroic Countdown group with this and got kicked immediately" comments

[broken solstice]

i stopped doing countdown bc i got tired of my whole team just following behind me while i take out the initial hunters and then they just take out ads while i complete objectives. someone else do it for once man

[full ether]

Peeps see exotic chest and run for it

hummm interesting the rifle determined build is better than SVD hotshot

[fathom carbon]

Hello. Anyone can help me ? I am level 30 and now every mob suddently started to kill me very easily. Oneshot or Twoshot at best. I am ready to give up . This is not enjoyable at all. Any tips ? I am doing all side quests and activities and then main quests.

[kind veldt]

what difficulty are you playing?

[agile pendant]

bud chargeback is insta ban from most companies and publishers... never go full dummy and do charge back. its a last option and considered a nuclear option in terms of electronic transactions. thats on you, you should talk to xsolla

[fair flax]

didn't know lobby holders of countdown of all things were stingy about shd level

thats really new

[agile pendant]

heroic it makes sense even challenging it can be issue cuz countdown is glitchy

1-2 players almost always crash after the final objective is done and before the extract

[solid chasm]

If anybody needs levels, i will be running a control point script you are more then welcome to join and stay just be aware that the map will reset itself every time the script is finish, if you want more levels you can personally dm me

[plush birch]

So there is no known fix to get gunfire sound back?

Like nothing to do?!

[real creek]

Not one that I've heard....

[plush birch]

To summon sound, you should stand in front of a mirror as large as possible, turn off the light and hold only a lit candle in your hands. Then say Plumbus three times. Or something absurd like we know form "special individual cases"

[broken solstice]

i just put my mic on and say brrrrr or powpowpowpowpow or p'choo p'choo

[plush birch]

try to enjoy a game after work in the evening

You can't treat yourself to anything these days

[full zinc]

Probably shouldnt be advertising this. Sounds like an easy way to get banned 🔨

[tiny oar]

lmaooooooooooo

i got a bug right now, did a warhound convoy to clear the daily on normal difficulty fast

and there was and endless spawn of enemies in a truck, i unloaded maybe 30 mags of elmo they just spawned endlessly it was so funny

normally you get 1 or 2 waves of npc, i got maybe 40 waves in total

then it stopped randomly x)

[still temple]

if you don't finish the mini tank inside there will be several waves of NPCs, until you kill mini tank's operator

[tiny oar]

i might have it recorded hopefully

nah i killed the mini tank, but another one spawned again, and again, and again

let me see if my gpu recorded this

[still temple]

mini tanks have a time frame when they can operate without their operators before self destruct

and every wave has their own mini tanks

it's a known bug that was there for years

[tiny oar]

whats a good soft to edit videos quickly ? so i can show it to you

[still temple]

I don't need the video, I know exactly what's happening, I did it myself some time ago before they nerfed warhound convoy's XP

[tiny oar]

yeah but i wanna send it to friends

[still temple]

upload to Google Drive and you can edit it in there

[tiny oar]

ok lets try that

[grand swan]

@plush birch Your pic would be enough to trigger half of twitter lol

[fathom carbon]

Dont know what that is..Just doing the story

[kind veldt]

well then it's hard to tell why you are having so muc htrouble

until you reach lv40 just keep rotating loot for stuff that you find

[tiny oar]

its uploaded, how do i edit it ? i dont see any tool

[tiny oar]

did you update your build ? if you up in lvl so does enemy damage, so you need to keep up

[random dragon]

Do higher difficulties drop better rolled weapons/gear?

[molten vortex]

Is the game working for anyone?
It gives me an error message, Ubisoft Services are unavailable, or something like that. Error Code: Bravo-04

[random dragon]

Just started doing everything on heroic and the drips seem somewhat better but wasn’t sure

[random dragon]

Yeah I’m in game rn

Maybe restart the client?

[molten vortex]

I will try that

Maybe even restart my router for good measure

[kind veldt]

closing ubi connect and trying again usually fixes bravo 4 that people are getting this week

[tiny oar]

yes

legendaries drop the best gear, but heroic is fine

i heard directive will also help drop rates but not sure about it

[random dragon]

Gotcha cause I started finally thinking out builds I wanna run but most of my gear don’t have great rolls

[still temple]

in theory, practically I've got better (or even best) items from Challenging many times, including one of my 13% PfE mod

legendary loot is mediocre, at best

[tiny oar]

its def not mediocre

the difference is the time spent to drop gear

challenging and heroic are the best compromise

[random dragon]

Wouldn’t it be more efficient to just run challenging instead then

[tiny oar]

thats what i just said

challenging and heroic is the best compromise between time spent and getting good loot

the one you pick depends on your preference/your build/etc

[kind veldt]

difficulty increases the base values it can roll

so higher base values means the gap between getting something good and perfect is quite small

[still temple]

again, in theory

on the field, sort of speak, things are quite different

[tiny oar]

i mean its pretty simple

if on challenging you find 50 items but only 5 are good rolls, and on legendary you find 10 items and 5 are good rolls but both take the same time, its the same

yeah legendary gave you better rolls, but you also took 3 hours to clear it, meanwhile they got as much good loot in challenging and it was not hard, just repetitive cause they cleared it 5 times

normal and hard will give you so little good loot or no good loot at all so better skip them

[kind veldt]

i mean you can get no god roll in legendary and 5 in a row in normal, it's pure RNG at the end of the day, just saying what difficulty affects it

[still temple]

I even got god rolled exotics in Story mode when boosted a new character, so... 🙃

but, generally speaking, legendary loot is far from best

[tiny oar]

yeah but dont pretend one will give as much as the other

legendary will give you ton more god rolls than normal

thats how statistics work

[kind veldt]

yeah i know

advice just pushes you in the right direction can magically make all loot dropped good that some people expect

[rain hedge]

just saw black tusk and true sons fight together for once

[wheat musk]

yo where to farm e-credits i need 70k

[lunar hare]

Sell junk, gear from FP caches...

[wheat musk]

okay ty

[ebon steeple]

I've gotten 4 exotic talents in 5 loops, should I buy a lottery ticket?

[full zinc]

Use scavenging points

[tender tangle]

hey guys been like 3 years last time i played tdv2 any tips out there ?

[full zinc]

Wouldn't it just be better to farm countdown for loot... the amount of drops blows every other method out of the water and would probably have plenty of max rolls. Plus, you get currency to buy exo caches. 🤔

[ebon steeple]

Get a st Elmo's engine and use that to get a ouroburos

[random dragon]

Both of those exotics are random drops right?

[tender tangle]

thats pc or xbox caus ei play on xbox xD

or is some sort of weapon

[random dragon]

They’re both weapons

[tender tangle]

ok thanks

[random dragon]

St Elmo’s is an assault rifle and ouroboros smg

[tender tangle]

thanks bro

[full zinc]

Oreo also locked to incursion

[lunar hare]

Chill, he's a returning player still. Give them some time to understand the updates and gear in general. Do not push that far.

[tender tangle]

yeah im at lvl 20 at this moment i went dz to try get a better stuff but damn ppl there hit harder 😛

[random dragon]

I went to dz east just to do the daily and got my ass beat lmao

[lunar hare]

Mhm, stay away from now - until you get a PvP build - and just do some basic builds to climb up again

[full zinc]

Best tip will be to check out the spreadsheet pinned in #td2-build-advice
It has a builds section and you can get info on all types of gear.

[tender tangle]

ok guys thanks for this help ill try look around it and even inform my 2 friends

[lunar hare]

Mind if I give you a hand after I complete this cod game?

[tender tangle]

if you can yes but i play xbox

[lunar hare]

look at my name.

I'm also a Xbox user.

[tender tangle]

alright cool

my xbox id : Odoyall

[tiny oar]

countdown gives a lot of loot, but not necesserally good loot, difficulty matter

[tiny oar]

why would you need credits ???

credits are so useless in this game tbh

[wheat musk]

to craft set im fresh lvl 40

[tiny oar]

ah

[wheat musk]

and craft better workbench

[tiny oar]

yeah make more sense

[rugged apex]

Guys is there any way I can get st Elmo rifle when I started playing recently? I mean it is possible to drop it from summit or countdown with targeted loot even when I didn’t own this rifle before?

[proper tundra]

targetted loot will get you the st elmos on countdown, i got mine through countodwn when i never had it before.

[full zinc]

tbf, countdown heroic quality loot is usually pretty good. that coupled with a major increase in the amount, and the short time to get that loot (15 mins) kinda leans towards that being the best option. plus the caches on top

[tiny oar]

yeah i agree

heroic is enough to get good loot

[rugged apex]

Thank you, that’s what I wanted to hear 😅

[agile pendant]

target loot deez

[umbral hearth]

have control points been fixed? ive been waiting for a fix before i hop back into the game

[lunar hare]

Not yet afaik

[umbral hearth]

the trello board says its been fixed

[lunar hare]

People still complain about that bug

[umbral hearth]

but i remember someone in here saying it wasnt fixed after the update dropped sooo

gotcha

ughhhh please tell me this isnt a few “feature”

[lunar hare]

Nope

[broken solstice]

god dang it took me forever to clear out all the uneccessary gear and duplicates so i could make a new mule. between that and finishing the intro and doing one mission im still only lvl 31 and im already burnt out. i need at least an hour to decompress. clearing out so much god rolled stuff was hard and made it take forever

i had like 6 pairs of fenris gloves for some reason which i would probably never have used

8 punch drunks. 3 firm handshakes, 5 or 6 emperors guards

got rid of ALL heartbreaker stuff. that helped

[agile pendant]

it sucks that you need someone whos lv40 to help you boost quickly from 30 to 40

[broken solstice]

yeah im gonna get help thats not a problem. but the prep to get ready for that point was a pain

[tiny oar]

holy fuck the burning hostile melee is a drag

[plush birch]

So you like it?

[broken solstice]

lol

[deep flare]

There's BP missing that we can't have in the crafting bench right ?

[kind veldt]

do you have the curretn season extoics?

it might be that exotic rifle we get from descent that i forgot the name

[ruby fractal]

Diamondback?

[kind veldt]

the green urband MDR

[ruby fractal]

Oh I don’t have that

[broken solstice]

vindicator or something

[kind veldt]

you just buy it from the shop using descent coins or whatever they are called

[ruby fractal]

Yeah it’s vindicator

I want to try that out , looks pretty sick.

[agile pendant]

what did u post??

[tiny oar]

fuck descent

[ruby fractal]

Bro descent sucks lol

[agile pendant]

true a dogshit game mode sadly needed for mats

[tiny oar]

they could have made descent so good

[ruby fractal]

I agree, it feels like a chore

[tiny oar]

but its so garbage its sad

[agile pendant]

its entire purpose is to give you blueprints nothing else

[kind veldt]

vindicator is bad

[agile pendant]

incursion is so much better and enjoyable

[inland kindle]

You can open the chest of incursion only one time a day ?

[ruby fractal]

I’ve seen a good build from Tuxedo Bandit with Vindicator but there’s better AR builds

[tiny oar]

i dont trust them with season 2.0 when they made descent that much bad

armor is useless in this shit

and so many dumb mecanics kills you but its not intended

[ruby fractal]

Is repair drone the best healer skill currently?

[tiny oar]

not really

best is hive or chem

[ruby fractal]

I’ll switch over coz drone can barely keep up at hard, I’ll never do anything challenging at this point

[tiny oar]

mod on skills and skill tier is very important for heals

if you dont have that, no skill will heal you correctly

[ruby fractal]

Jeez , sacrifice core for skill tier or do you use that talent that adds tiers?

[tiny oar]

depends on the build

[full zinc]

can use tech class and have it set to repair instead of damage. free core that way

[ruby fractal]

I run mostly red one blue

[tiny oar]

but basically you gotta specialize, you cant have dps AND heals, its either one or the other, or an hybrid that deals not much damage and doesnt heal much

[full zinc]

memento gives a lot to healing skills as well

[ruby fractal]

Ooh I didn’t know that

[tiny oar]

yeah but remember no matter what you do, you cant have both dps and heals and tanking

it would be too op

[ruby fractal]

I think that’s why I’m mid coz I’m trying do it all

I need to specialize

[tiny oar]

yeah, thats no good, check #td2-build-advice to see most commonly used builds

[full zinc]

you can memento dps and it achieves the surviability. add tech and shield and there is quite a bit of healing/tanking

[ruby fractal]

Thanks , it’s been a frustrating week trying to play on the next tier

[tiny oar]

playing in a group is great for that, one can be dps, other healer, other tank, etc

[ruby fractal]

I’ll have to trade one of my gear slots then I’m running 3 break point I’ll have to give up the backpack

I do see a lot of agents running memento

[full zinc]

i would check the suggested spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice . something like striker is really strong dps. you can add memento or just some blue cores and still be dealing a ton of damage

negotiators as well

[ruby fractal]

I was actually thinking about switching to striker, it looks fun

I mostly run solo so I can’t build around expectations of group play

[full zinc]

memento strength is the 3 cores and skill efficiency (% in all skill buckets)
so memento and tech class has a tier 3 shield, and tier 2 secondary skill before you even figure in the rest of the gear

[tiny oar]

striker is the best dps build overall

[full zinc]

thats on a 6 red core build as well

[tiny oar]

if you know how to aim that is

but you'll be squichy, so a team with tank and healer is great

[ruby fractal]

Sweet! Hehe yeah I stick to headshots

[tiny oar]

yeahdshot aint really important for striker

your output dps is huge

[azure lintel]

Okay hear me out guys. What if... what if we added headhunter and determined to Descent 🙂

[ruby fractal]

I currently run those 2 talents love em

[small spear]

just headhunter and i'd be stoked

[ruby fractal]

Thanks for the advice guys, gonna look into to striker with the memento backpack

[tiny oar]

not fan of striker + memento tbh

id rather replace the chest talent

[ruby fractal]

I’m thinking of running an AR build with it

[tiny oar]

yeah, i do the same

[ruby fractal]

Currently on rifle , MMR

[tiny oar]

my build is with elmo, i run perfect spotter on the chest, i really love it

and coyote mask

can use gila named for scan talent tho

[ruby fractal]

I have an St Elmo in my stash I have to reroll it coz it’s dps is underwhelming

Jaja I spent 2 hours trying to get coyote to drop her mask yesterday no luck

Is it true it can drop from any activity on mask target loot area

[tiny oar]

then use gila guard mask, the named version

and use spotter on chest

[ruby fractal]

I don’t want to go through that mission soon again

[lunar hare]

yes

[tiny oar]

trust me, gila mask, spotter talent on chest, and rest striker gear set, you'll do amazing damage with pulse

[ruby fractal]

Sweet I’ll just grind lvl3 CPs then

[tiny oar]

gl

tho lvl 4 are better imo but whatever you prefer

[ruby fractal]

Yeah I’ve had my eye on spotter for a while , seems sick for CQC gameplay

[tiny oar]

its good for everything really

[ruby fractal]

Jaja I’ll get demolished on lvl4 no heals

Thanks tho

[tiny oar]

gl

[full zinc]

when looking into striker, look into negotiators as well. nego plays well with ar/rifle combo and wouldnt be a huge difference if already running rifle a lot

[ruby fractal]

Thanks , i want to run AR but would love to keep my rifle

[full zinc]

if doing spotter just do tech with laser that pulses... the nightwatcher mask/pulse skill is a wasted bonus/skill

[lunar hare]

I was like... why put gila on a DPS set??

[tiny oar]

nah, the laser is not great, and scan only 1 at a time, the pulse is so versatile and strong

[tiny oar]

well coyote is my go to, but gila if you dont have it

[lunar hare]

AFAIK with Flatline.

[full zinc]

you only shoot 1 at a time. but it pulses everything that falls in its los

[lunar hare]

Just use Ceska if you don't have Coyote's yet.

[tiny oar]

ueah i know, but pulse is so good when solo pve to collect info on enemy

[full zinc]

its really not needed at all

[tiny oar]

i didnt say needed, i said good, like very confortable

id rather have a little bit less damage but be more confortable

[full zinc]

something like jammer would do the same, but also stagger some enemies and shut down electronics

[wheat musk]

how to incresse alert lvl i have to do lvl 3 to craft gear

[full zinc]

you can do activities that have a small line attached to a control point. those activities will increase alert level of the attached cp

[tiny oar]

change world settings

[lunar hare]

You can just change the Global difficulty

[tiny oar]

not the same cd/charge time/range/etc

[wheat musk]

and which one i have to choose?

[lunar hare]

Challenging for lvl3

[wheat musk]

okay ty

[full zinc]

it actually does something other than highlighting targets. now if you were overcharging the pulse i could see it... but as a tier 0 skill its a complete waste... banshee also better with quite useful effects

[wheat musk]

and if i can ask best way to farm solo?

gear mostly

[tiny oar]

like i said, its for confort, not dps/overcharge/etc

[lunar hare]

If Lincoln Memorial has your TL of preference, do it

[wheat musk]

okay

where i can get sets btw?

[full zinc]

i would matchmake into countdown challenging with a dps set. its quick and tons of loot drops.

selectable target loot

[lunar hare]

But it's better to do Countdown, it's a 8 player mode that doesn't require much experience at first but you'll eventually need it

[tiny oar]

do countdown on challenging

[full zinc]

thats why i think its a waste

[tiny oar]

man, whatever is confortable is never a waste

[lunar hare]

That doesn't apply to real life my guy.

[azure lintel]

Rowan outfit, metalhead gloves, black beret, black sunglasses. I dunno what this vibe is

[tiny oar]

it does apply to game

[lunar hare]

then try to do DPS on a Skill build lol

[lunar hare]

Not always.

[tiny oar]

i didnt say always

i said it apply here, i dont understand your point

[full zinc]

its all good, its just an* agree to disagree type of convo

[tiny oar]

yeah, if you aint a pulse fan, good for you, dont use pulse, i like it, its confortable for me, thats it

[wheat musk]

okay okay

[azure lintel]

Who besides me has never even equipped the remote pulse, ever.

[lunar hare]

I guess only you lmao

[azure lintel]

Wait... repair trap too

[full zinc]

ive never used

[lunar hare]

Yeah, traps are that, traps

[tiny oar]

i used remote pulse for a while, but its not good when basic pulse already exist

[broken solstice]

i completely forgot remote pulse was even a thing

[azure lintel]

Exactly! I click button. Things get pulsed. What's not to love?

[full zinc]

shock traps can be kinda clutch sometimes for ow hunters/f100

[lunar hare]

I don't see any other uses for it

[full zinc]

i wonder if repair traps have use in pvp, they do give some hazpro iirc

[azure lintel]

Floor 100 Hunters... it doesn't impact me at all, and honestly I've never heard of "Rush outer balcony" even being a strategy - does anyone know why exactly the main exit/entrance was collapsed in the latest patch?

just seems such a random ass thing to change

[tiny oar]

no idea

[full zinc]

i think it was a planned change. the basic strat was hide till they bottleneck themselves

[tiny oar]

oh yeah maybe thats why

[azure lintel]

Well I feel bad for the other singular person who actually runs Summit if that was his/her strat

Massive really got it out for them

[tiny oar]

well, they dont like cheesing bosses

[full zinc]

the mechanic can still be manipulated to a degree. Raucey has a video about oxi strat where they manipulated spawn to occur after all the oxi was in place

solo you cant manipulate the spawn tho

[azure lintel]

i dont have friends, so i cant do oxidizer anyways

[tiny oar]

yeah, solo its much harder than in a group

[full zinc]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Six6HkkI8jI&t=118s for reference. there is a solo clear as well

[tiny oar]

yeah i know you can clear it solo, its just so much harder

[full zinc]

i agree. i was just posting the link since i mentioned it

[azure lintel]

Raucey is very efficient and smart, I just smack head into things until I win. I usually just decoy and lots of flashbangs to solo floor 100 with a regular hotshot build

[tiny oar]

unlike us we stupid af lmao

[kind veldt]

i unga then bunga with shotgun

[lunar hare]

how in the fck did I just get Yaahl gloves from CD?!

[placid zephyr]

anyone else getting BRAVO 04 code for cant connect to server?

[ruby fractal]

Guys how do I stop people from joining me in a group randomly , I don’t mind playing with others but I’m here standing in the white house for 45 min trying to make builds and people are joining up on me

[tiny oar]

did you call for backup ?

[ruby fractal]

Yesterday lol

Does that stay active ?

Ok ok, I had my social setting on Open Group didn’t realize lol

Had to switch it to private

[wet tartan]

is anyone gaming right now will like a partner

[broken solstice]

when i have it open or clan members i ONLY got people joining up with me while I was in the middle of sorting gear, optimizing, donating to expertise. had to shut that down

[ruby fractal]

Riiight

[wheat musk]

where i can mm that?

[ruby fractal]

Literally happening to me. No one jumps in while I’m elbows deep in missions

[tiny oar]

you have to do the mission first i believe

[full zinc]

map > matchmaking > countdown > select difficulty

[wheat musk]

ty ty

first i will do 3 alert to unlock craft then i will go for it

[full zinc]

you can also access at the chopper outside the whitehouse if you want to be party lead. but mm is the fastest

[wheat musk]

okay i will do that with my friend ty for help

[wheat musk]

if i want to unlock all crafts i have to do alerts tier 3 ye?

[bitter wraith]

Why is the decoy absolutely worthless on legendary?

Even when shooting with the decoy on the other side of the enemies they still aimbot me in 3 shots as usual despite the decoy

[lunar hare]

Not every blueprint drops from CP's. Some are exclusives of Descent, Seasons and IIRC raids.

[wheat musk]

i want to do 3 provides etc

so run this should be good ye for extract etc

[lunar hare]

It's not worthless, you just don't know yet where to place it correctly. You need your decoy to not be exposed but covered by something

[kind veldt]

decoy is very good

[bitter wraith]

They'll shoot it while it's hidden?

[lunar hare]

Just make sure the decoy bottom part is covered, that's where the health is located

[grand swan]

Yes because it's funny to troll on twitter as long as it doesn't get way too far

[small spear]

you don't have to throw the decoy somewhere they can see

just dropping it will turn their attention away already

[wheat musk]

is dark hour raid hard btw i want set from here

[azure lintel]

you can get all sets outside raid, only weapons are exclusive

[lapis junco]

its the easiest of the 2 raids but thats not really saying much. It really depends on how many people in your group know the raid and how many dont

if your the only one who doesnt know the raid itll be very easy

if its like 3 guys who know and the rest are first time clears itll be a little harder

also depends on how stupid the other FTCs are

[kind veldt]

yeah it kinda is really easy, it's just about mechanics

second one is drasticly harder in mechanics and somewhat in enemies difficulty

incursion might be the hardest in terms of pure combat i guess? but easier mechanics and shorter

[full zinc]

yes for most of your attachments and optimization blueprints. some will be tied to other activities but these will be listed if you highlight them in the crafting bench

[wheat musk]

idk bro i cant do this mm ppl quit for no reason

we are 10 sec away when we are 4 players only

4 leave idk this community

[full zinc]

i havent been in cd since this season started, but it was usually pretty active. when you get into a mm group, esc> social to check if you are party lead. if the lead doesnt start the match when full people leave pretty quick. i hope there isnt some bug causing issues tho. ill probably run a couple rounds to double check myself

[wheat musk]

oh okay

anyway farming this even if i fail still better than run lvl 3 alerts ig am i sure?

[full zinc]

if you do end up as lead you just gotta hold f in that social screen to start

[azure lintel]

Countdown has one nice feature, it does cross server matchmaking. If you wanna play countdown at 3:30AM eastern time youll still get a group, granted it will be all chinese people or something but its all gravy, they know how to play 🙂

[wheat musk]

yea same time for me

but its hard when ppl quit ngl

[azure lintel]

its not their fault most of the time, countdown gives people connection errors which is probably one of the caveats of the cross server MMing

also keep in mind during the extraction phase if you die youre dead, theres no reason to stay and watch the game if you arent playing

[full zinc]

summit is also a loot farming option where you can select your target loot. you can get a lot just running around as well. countdown is just top dog since its a metric ton of loot, and the currency gained can buy named/exo caches. cd vender also has dz exclusives from time to time

[wheat musk]

now i get lucky group ig

[azure lintel]

Legendary summit gives higher quality loot, albeit less of it. So if you're strapped for resources or dont have a ton of SHD levels or you're an idiot OCD like me and dont optimize gear set pieces its cool

[tiny oar]

he barely clear challenging, dont tell him to go legendary xd

[wheat musk]

i mean if ppl dont go afk its kinda easy

also i extract nice gear today

[cobalt ice]

okay, I'm confused

how does Shield Deflector work? does it like take a certain percentage of damage and then send it back?

[rancid light]

Very small damage it won’t last a few hit if you put more deflector mods the down side is the health shield is very low and survivable rate is very small and slim

[azure lintel]

its a set amount depending on difficulty and the weapon the mob has and is increased by skill damage

[cobalt ice]

I got Tier 6 skill

all my gear has Core Attribute being Skill

[rancid light]

Ahh no you need 2 type blue cores and yellow cores

You need to build a hybrid to increase efficiency and survival rate if want to tank and deflect the shots back from the enemy

[cobalt ice]

So what's the good balance of Blue and Yellow cores?

3/3? 4/2?

[rancid light]

4/2

If you have revive hive with you

[cobalt ice]

4 Blue and 2 Yellow? And no, but I do have a Repair Drone

[rancid light]

Ah yes there a build is good foundry set bulwak kind

This will help your shield repair if goes down fast

[cobalt ice]

Do share

because I am still noob when it comes to gear specs and optimizing builds

My aim at the moment

is getting myself ready to survive a hunter

[rancid light]

Do you have a a shotgun? Exotic name Scorpio?

Or st.Elmo engine assault rifle

[cobalt ice]

No, unfortunately, but I do have a SPAS-12 with 730k damage

[rancid light]

That won’t do

[cobalt ice]

I haven't done Warlords yet, and I'm waiting for friends this week end

[rancid light]

The hunter puzzle ones hit really hard

They jam your skills

[cobalt ice]

all skills? Even Shields?

[rancid light]

Except shield and revive hives

[cobalt ice]

HAH, Knew it, thank god

[rancid light]

Have you face them in countdown they hit hard advice don’t get near a hunter in personal they will one shot your armor

[cobalt ice]

I encountered them several times in my 4 games of Countdown (I'm still new to Countdown)

Me and a Rando only able to defeat 1 (We both downed once during the fight)

because I keep driving the hunter away with grenades, stopping them from patching their armor

[rancid light]

Word advice stay as team hunt down the hunter never go solo against them sometimes the open world hunters in dc or nyc area

[cobalt ice]

I learned that the hard way

NOt sure if they're as brutal or more compare to those tough guys from Div1 Survival, where you're ready for extraction

[rancid light]

Just careful your armor hit zero completely and don’t get hit 2nd time you be done for

[cobalt ice]

That's why I always have a Repair Drone on hand....just uhh

It's useless against Hunter that can jamm it

[rancid light]

They can hack your drone’s and sentry turrets and bleed hives

[cobalt ice]

dear god

[cobalt ice]

where do you even get those exotics?

[rancid light]

Exotic caches

RNG is random

[cobalt ice]

Can you show me this build?

[rancid light]

You can look up in YouTube for builds in division

[lunar hare]

Some exotics are locked to raids or DZ
but most of them are from farming TL for that one weapon/gear you want, especially exotic caches are the ones that are useful. Buy those with 224 Countdown requisition per cache

[cobalt ice]

TL short for??

[lunar hare]

To be honest, Division YT is at least 90% click bait vids that aren't as good as the ones we have/give at #td2-build-advice Check 📌 Spreadsheet for more info.

[lunar hare]

Targeted Loot

[cobalt ice]

hmmmm

I think I'll mix Hard Wired and Foundry Bulwak

a good mix of Skill and Armour, but I'll made a loadout for damage only

[main moth]

servers down???

[main moth]

nvm

[tired granite]

ahhhh CPs' are bugged

[rancid light]

And clan xp too lmg audio is bugged and god roll crafting bench is back and some weapon has gone missing and some many more bugs need to be fixed. This is not acceptable

[tired granite]

its fine hopium the devs know abt it and not carry the bugs over to the seasonals

[faint wing]

is the up?

[tired granite]

thank goodness brazen is not a talent that can be recalibrated

[still temple]

wdym? it can be extracted in LIbrary and use later on another weapon

[tired granite]

wait

my bad

[small spear]

what about your bad?

[tired granite]

its bad

[small spear]

ah

[still temple]

a bad is bad but not as bad as a bad bad

[full zinc]

there are a couple things you can do to support the shield and give option for some dps. running tech class, memento, and artificer would allow you to have a tier 3 shield , tier 2 artificer (or other skill), 40% skill repair, 30% skill damage, 30% shield health(skill health), before even figuring in the other 5 gear/brand pieces. artificer also passively repairs the shield every 10 seconds without having to drop it. just some thoughts tho, not entirely sure how you plan to build

[cobalt ice]

Okay, I'm very very new. Tech class? Memento? And artificer?

[still temple]

Tech class = Technician specialization, Memento = an exotic backpack with three core attributes, artificer = dedicated hive unlocked by Technician specialization used to repair your shield and skills

[cobalt ice]

Ah, thanks, I'll figure out how to get them

[still temple]

first, activate Technician spec, then you have to gain points in order to unlock perks in skill tree (1 point per level up, 3 points per CP captured on Heroic difficulty, some missions gives another 3-5 points), start with adding damage on your main weapon then continue with other bonuses as you wish or need them

Memento can be obtained from areas with backpack as targeted loot, or Countdown/Summit where you can select targeted loot you need

it's RNG based so expect to wait quite a while for it to drop, depending on your luck

whats the fastest way from 30 - 40?

[tired granite]

doing wony

[main moth]

Wony?

[dapper atlas]

Warlords of New York

[unborn ravine]

So total armor randomly drops to under 1mil. Control points reset themselves in the middle of completing them. Gonna have to have "Project Resolve 2.0" before the bad idea of seasons 2.0 comes out 😂

[main moth]

Thanks

[steady tiger]

help what should i do with these extra gears that i dont need(?) beside for the stat?

[still temple]

donate to Expertise system

[inner elbow]

Not anymore. WONY takes at least 1.5 hours. With someone to carry you in DC it would take up to an hour, but with a proper group of friends it can be done in less than 15 minutes

[still temple]

that's Fragile Armor directive bugged; CPs reset is a known bug introduced after they removed world tiers at lvl 30, which seems to affect a lot of the base game

[steady tiger]

so its a bug that CP is being reset everytime i load the game/ reconnect?

[still temple]

yes

[steady tiger]

aside from that i just sell or?

[still temple]

and invaded missions too

first you extract stats to Library, then donate to Expertise, then sell if you need credits or deconstruct if you need mats

[steady tiger]

ahh okay, thank you!

[shadow depot]

Hopeful they will fix those bugs soon. I was very exciting to come back after a 2 months break... but my mk17 sounds like a paintballgun now...

[idle tinsel]

server shutdown?

[lunar hare]

No? Did you get Delta/Bravo?

[tired granite]

server is up.

[idle tinsel]

wdym

it said server shutdown imminent

[tired granite]

oh... didnt get the memo

[rigid wedge]

ngl bullet king is pretty fun

[idle tinsel]

nvm its up

[tired granite]

bullet king with sound, yes

[lunar hare]

ffs, we get it

[tiny oar]

They are way harder than survival, because in survival you have no gear they are tuned down

[azure lintel]

Why is it dead

[wheat musk]

where to get raid key idk is this outdated or no? https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/comments/bqxw9n/division_2_dark_hours_raid_key_locations/

i want to get dark hour gear

[tiny oar]

locations didnt change, its good

but there is no dark hour gear, you cant drop everything except eagle bearer in the rest of the game

eagle bearer is the only exotic tied to dark hour

[wheat musk]

so where to drop Negotiator's Dilemma?

[tiny oar]

targeted loot

like almost everything

non exotic gear drop everywhere + targeted loot, EXCEPT for dark zone exclusive

[wheat musk]

even game says schema drop from dark hour

[tiny oar]

oh right

i forgot blueprints

yeah you need blueprints from dark hours but they drop automatically iirc

just do the raid and its ok, then you drop everything from everywhere

[tired granite]

is div 1 worth playing or nah, considering the shenanigans everything thats happening with div2

[tiny oar]

for the lore its nice, but you can just watch a lore video otherwise

game is still good tho

[fading frigate]

Depends
I love both

[tiny oar]

i prefer div 1 regarding to enemy damage numbers tbh

i cannot stand npcs doing bullshit oneshot on a full tank build with a shield in div 2

[iron storm]

hey, so a question to my Feloow PC players, and i know its a question thats likely not going be able to be answered,
but i was curious if anyone knows if Division 2 Works on Linux OS by chance? a friend is interested in getting the game since its on sale but is iffy since he doesnt know if the game would work on Linux.

[wheat musk]

i can only recalibration 1 thing in gear?

if yes crafting a perfect gear will goes crazy

if i want crit chance and crit dmg in gear

[kind veldt]

you can only recal 1 aspect of a gear piece, either one of the rolls or a talent

special gear such as named cant recall their special rolls

[frank iris]

HAPPY CAPS LOCK DAY!

[tender wave]

Yes, when they released it on Steam it worked on that steam console thing which runs some form of linux. You'll need to research the right emulator for the anticheat, but I've heard it does work.

[iron storm]

ahhh the Steam Deck, and alright Thank you very much, ill relay the information to him so he can consider his options.

[plush jay]

anyone else getting a bunch of delta 03s today?

[molten spire]

been on and off since season launch, only real "fix" is to restart Ubi Connect and hope

[plush jay]

yeah its just been like extra much today compared to the other days lol

[tropic compass]

As long as i can stay in the back hidden away from everyone in pvp i can kill 😀

[compact wadi]

Anyne know how to solve the Season Pass purchase blank screen bug?

Or can you buy season pass outwith the game?

[lament lotus]

how do i rank up expertise on pointman? its not under the list for named and exotic gear list

[unique bramble]

Maybe you can buy on the "spotlight" section of the store instead of the battle pass screen

[plush jay]

Its under ''Armadillo'' vest in the named and exotic gear list.

[lament lotus]

Oo i see it now lol tyty

[steady tiger]

so to get good gear stat need grind for good stat roll from drop?

[small spear]

yes

[wet tartan]

hello is anybody gaming right now

[astral jacinth]

farming public executions for xp still feels slowwww

[peak nova]

😳

I hope you're not the one executing..

[sterile scaffold]

Yes and no, you'll need to find an emulator that doesn't trigger EAC and get you banned

Even though EAC is literally just useless and is basically malware with ring zero access

[opaque hedge]

Hi just check the trello board for div2 didnt see they sound bug (LMGs, Rifles 1st of all) its really not fun to play Div2 with those sound bugs

[rocky gust]

So I made a new character,for those rolls and end up skipping right to NY and tryna unlock the summit, has this happened to anyone? and also can't for odd reasons I can't matchmaking

Or does it have to be lvl 40 to unlock them ?

[obtuse kernel]

I farmed 22/26 apparel keys. Unable to get anymore without buying them. Is that by design?

[astral jacinth]

You should be able to get all

Frickin bugs

[scarlet plume]

probably not but about half the things in this game currently aren't by design

[finite ibex]

Any plans on fixing the lmg sounds bug anytime soon ?

[scarlet plume]

nothing has been said yet from the team, hasnt been recognized as a bug on the trello either, so who knows how long it will take

[elfin hazel]

trellos always been a bit behind

theres no way they don't know about it at this point

[scarlet plume]

i just want my artist tool to make noise again 😔

[tiny oar]

damn i wish the spreadsheet for build was up to date

i have no idea what new gear do or if they strong

[small spear]

if they're not strong, they won't be up there

[tiny oar]

thats not true lol

[small spear]

it's a good rule to have

[tiny oar]

its def not

[small spear]

you are talking about new gear so

it's not unreasonable to expect new gear to underperform

[tiny oar]

and ? why would i care about bad old gear but not about new ?

i want info thats it

[small spear]

again... if it's tested, verified to be strong, it will be up there 100%. if it's not up there, just ask and you'll know why it's not

it's either not tested enough, or not strong

if you want info just ask lmao

[tiny oar]

no, that only mean a gear is not popular, not that its not good

[small spear]

it can be either or

[tiny oar]

some stuff are strong but people sleep on it

[small spear]

not denying that

if you can show it's strong you can make a guide for it

people aren't lazy around here lol

[tiny oar]

but i dont want to make a guide on it

i just want info on it

[small spear]

then just ask...

[tiny oar]

like what it does, is it dz exclusive, etc

[small spear]

"is breaking point strong?" no

"is mosquito strong?" no

[tiny oar]

again

[small spear]

you don't need everything to be on the sheet

[tiny oar]

i didnt ask if they were strong, i dont care about that

i want to know what it does

[small spear]

clarify what this means

"or if they strong"

[tiny oar]

to define meta

you cant just tell me "yeah striker is strong" but i have no idea what it does and run striker on a skill build

i can assure you that i wont be strong

i need to know what that shit does

[small spear]

you have only 5 questions left to ask before you die or what?

just ask lol

[tiny oar]

but i dont want to ask

i want to have a wiki or spread sheet i can come back to later

[small spear]

the new info on gear sets, brand sets 2p, 3p, etc. aren't there yet because someone needs to input it. but for something to have written guides for, it needs to be worth writing guides for

we're not gonna make a guide for breaking point and just put "don't use it"

[tiny oar]

again, i dont want a guide, i want info

[small spear]

what kind of info

[tiny oar]

literally any, i only know the name of the gear, i dont know anything about it, the stats it can give, where it drops, what type of gear it is, etc

[small spear]

that stuff will come when the maintainers are free again

[tiny oar]

yeah i figured

thats why i said "i wish it was up to date" xd

[small spear]

understandable

[tender wave]

stats are in the patch notes, all the new loot can drop anywhere but you won't find the exotics until you've earned them on the season pass

[finite ibex]

Seems i get the never ending invaded missions too, wich is ok i guess

[kind veldt]

breaking point gear set if thats the question is not good

too long to build stacks, it's just regular weapon damage and not amplified damage meaning that despite it appearing more than usual per stack the total is not great

lots of time in downtime and not much in uptime

doesnt really work well with the semi auto nsipers to be worth it, so no secret sacrum imperium builds in horizon

when handling bonus is the best thing you cna offer then it's not great

[tiny oar]

i dont see stats on patchnotes

can you link ?

also doesnt say rolls possibles

[kind veldt]

https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/game/the-division/the-division-2/news-updates/9XK0DbaxzntoNxXqC5ftY

you mean this doesnt show you the stats?

[frosty wadi]

Wild how these were the concerns day 1 and they still exist

[kind veldt]

i know

i wrote a wall of text day 1 on the PTS channel

[frosty wadi]

I haven’t even played because I know its just going to be a massive letdown

They really screwed over people who wanted a rifle gearset

[tiny oar]

ah i got the wrong one

yeah this is much better for info thanks

[kind veldt]

i think you probably clicked the 21.1

[tiny oar]

yeah i think so too

[fiery cloud]

Hey Kettle

[tender wave]

hey Saph

[full zinc]

Makes me question if the invaded missions drop spec point on repeat clears, since they are not registering as complete.
Might be a good way to grind spec if they do.

Too bad I'm all maxed out and cant test it 🤔

[clever mirage]

Hi guys, how Is seasonal character going to affect my current character? I'm level 200

[tender wave]

https://thedivision2.com/season2faq

[clever mirage]

Ok thx

[tender wave]

that's all we know so far

[rain hedge]

idk still sounds eh

[frank iris]

I haven't read back. The game freezes all the time since the patch.

Is it widespread?

[rancid light]

The game get random delta 3 and 5 and bravo 4 at times and the game bugged beyond repaired it on worst state we need the dev’s or mods fix the issue asap and the god roll crafting bench is back again cause it wasn’t patched at all plus CP area was captured after logging out and resetting and include invaded mission those players who cleared it wouldn’t encounter those black tusks units again it will get annoying, the invaded mission should be completed once they cleared it they won’t have to rerun it again. I hate to encounter those black tusk robo dogs snipers mini guns robo dogs and ugv mini tank roaming in the streets on DC

[white mica]

Am I just going crazy or is it real that my chat log says I received some specific gear piece but I can't find it anywhere in my inventory - like is this normal, why does this happen?

[rancid light]

Which gear you looking for?

[white mica]

It was ceska chest

[rancid light]

Oh that you can’t craft it you have farm it countdown for TL

[white mica]

Yeah it's just that my chat log said I received one when I was playing the Coney Island Ballpark targeted loot

But then I can't find it in my inventory anywhere

Maybe it's bugged?

[rancid light]

Set your item to new when when you loot item out the open!

Favorite when you optimize it

[lunar hare]

Why do you include "mods"? They just MODerate the channels and give a little support. They don't participate in developing nor fixing issues.

[lunar hare]

Maybe you deconstructed it instead of picking it up and gave you "Ceska Chest Weave" or something similar...

[frail mauve]

any clan looking for a returning player but with a new agent? currently grinding

[keen lily]

We need more places to get reconstructed caches!!

[deep ibex]

How does giving/trading gear work in Div 2? Is it similar to the 1st one or not? Got a mate who will buy it tmrw and I want to give him some of my stashed gear when he's lvl 40

[tiny oar]

holy fuck

audio is broken rn

i went to dz a bit and i kept hearing lmgs and other guns firing forever when everyone was dead

[azure lintel]

Isnt the game in general broken after they decided to remove world tiers

[tiny oar]

yeah, kinda, i dont see how both are related in code to create thoses bugs tho lmao

[spare cove]

1000 bugs in the wall. Take one down, pass it around. 1001 bugs in the wall.

[kind veldt]

Similar to first game, you can only share what you got when they were there with you for couple hours at least

[deep ibex]

good to know

[steady tiger]

how to find friend to play stuff like countdown, summit, and other stuff?

[kind veldt]

Lfg channels or servers, otherwise you can try matchmaking option in game

[tiny oar]

or try stopping people in the street and asking them to play with you

[austere void]

Go back a few years and then you might be on track.

[full zinc]

Join a clan maybe, #td2-clan-recruitment will have people looking to recruit.

You mostly just mm for countdown...

you can also put out backup calls to get help as well.
map > shd > call for backup

[ruby fractal]

Didn’t think it would happen but I’m fully used to my rifle being truly silenced 😂

[austere void]

Supressed.

[ruby fractal]

It’s silenced 🔕 lol . There’s no suppression

I can’t hear anything

[full zinc]

Tbh I been kinda liking it.
Movie level suppression.

[ruby fractal]

Riight

Except the bad guys can still hear it

Been pairing Head Hunter with Determined. What a sick combo

[austere void]

No such thing as "silence" outside of a vacuum, and even then it is considered "rare"
Sorry, Veteran Sniper, UK, calling a suppressed weapon "silenced" is one of those things . . . .

[ruby fractal]

Wish exotic gear dropped an appearance slot item

[ruby fractal]

I’m not sure what that means . But I’m refereeing to the bug in the game that makes rifles not have sound when fired

[austere void]

I am aware fo the bug. I am just drawing issue to the fact that game and movies that claim weapons get "silenced" is 100% incorrect. They are called suppressed or suppressors. They dampen the sound (suppress) not remove it (silence).
So saying a weapon is Silenced is completely incorrect as that quite simply is not how a weapon, or even physics works.

[ruby fractal]

Ah, yes I see what you mean now. I get you 👍🏻

[austere void]

And being a former sniper in the UK Army. the difference between "Silenced" and "Suppressed" becomes annoying.

[ruby fractal]

So just to clarify,“silenced” is not a term used in the UK army?

[austere void]

I would argue it is not a term used in any military.

[ruby fractal]

Ah so it’s more like a Hollywood term

[austere void]

I worked and trained with the US a lot, no one used it there.,

[inner elbow]

But h0llyw00d is lyfe

[full zinc]

Depending on how good you were, your target might never hear your shot regardless of suppression

[ruby fractal]

I get it, jaja makes sense since guns still sound even with a suppressor

[ruby fractal]

🔥🔥🔥 the real silencer

If they never knew they got killed then it was a silencer 😂😂

There’s a MMR named after The White Death

Thought that was cool

[austere void]

Even is your were able to completely disperse the heat/kinetic energy from the primmer, the bolt hit would still make a serious noise.
Like a metal hitting metal.
When it comes to death vs sound, this is completely dependent on weapon/mussle velocity against the speed of sound.
If mussle Velocity is greater than the speed of sound, you would be dead before you hear the shot. If the shot is slower, well, at least you get a warning sound . . . . . .

[fading frigate]

Silencing firing sounds is near impossible - even with guns made for covert ops like the MP5SD - youd still hear the gunshot

[ruby fractal]

Physics is a pretty cool thing

[fading frigate]

Even the Welrod is silent for most comparisons but still hearable

[inner elbow]

Do rubber bullets make the same sound as normal bullets?

[full zinc]

I would imagine anything you were using for distance sniping wouldn't be subsonic.

[ruby fractal]

The only correct answer is Rubber Duckie

[austere void]

The sound does not come from the bullet, but the casing. To make it simple, the bullet is held in a case that has gunpowder in it. When the firing pin hits, it causes an explosion that forces the two object, case and bullet, to go in two different directions.
The issue is, the case is blocked, so all of th force is directed to pushing the bullet out of the case, and down the mussle.

So, blank, rubber, dubby, and SIM rounds all works the same, just different levels of Owie and death

[fading frigate]

The thing that makes the bang is the shell itself not the bullet

[inner elbow]

Ooh

[fading frigate]

by attaching a suppressor you make the hot exiting gas hit internal walls in the suppressor such mildening the bang

[full zinc]

Suppression aims to lessen the sound of the explosion. If ammo isnt subsonic it's still gonna generate a crack regardless of supression

[fading frigate]

Dod might be the specialist here , i have rarely used suppressors in service time , mostly in roofed training rooms to not go deaf

[inner elbow]

TIL how guns work

[fading frigate]

But believe us , its way better for ears xD

AFAIK there are even suppressors for 50. Cal guns

[ruby fractal]

Oh gawd, not even hearing pro can save your ears

[fading frigate]

Hollywoods myth that a suppressor completely turns the sound of the shot down to a whistle can be busted easily xd

[austere void]

Yeah, the way in which a suppressor work is kind of similar to Geometric Cooling. As this hot gas from the explosion in the gun powder travels down the barrel, it forces the bullet out. It will eventually reach a pocket which is attached to a piston, this piston is driven back forces the weapon to cycle and reload (this is hwo you get automatic weapons). The rest of the gas is forced out of the mussle, causing a mussle flash. With a Suppressor, the gas is funneled into a series of chambers drastically reducing the amount of gas expleded witht he bullet.

[fading frigate]

Funfact Suppressors are in germany allowed for hunters in urban areas

[ruby fractal]

I’ve never shot anything heavy caliber like that. But I can only imagine

[fading frigate]

Since you were a Marksman , i trust you on this - i did service as a Tankgrenadier in german Army , as such i know to fight in urban areas or assault spots , but nothing that is "as pristine silent" as a sniper

For what i know is that you folks do a lot of math and even craft yer own rounds

[austere void]

Here is the next issue, Sub sonic vs Super onic rounds. You can actually find, on youtube, some crazy Russian dude with a Honey Badger visually and audibly showing the difference between these two type. There is a clear difference.
Unless you knew what you were listening for, you would not even register the sub sonic. But the super sonic, just sound like a normal gun shot, just from really far away.

[fading frigate]

The latter is IIRC from the bullet cracking the speed of sound

[full zinc]

Yeah no doubt. We can get them(supressor) in most states here in the us. But it's just kinda meh. As an edc it would just add weight and print more 💯

[austere void]

During my service, I was trained with a AW50, one of the best .50 Cal Anti Material Rifles in the World. I had a suppressor for it. It was about 2 and a half feet long, about 30 inches. It dropped the bullets Velocity just below the sound barrier, so that I sound get shots off at targets around a Mile away and have 3.7 seconds to pack up and leave before impact.

[ruby fractal]

What the farthest you shot with that monster?

[fading frigate]

Mother of God

[austere void]

2.21 KM.

[fading frigate]

thats a fat Suppie
You can baseline use it to bludgeon people

[ruby fractal]

Jeez

[full zinc]

Your rounds must a had to be a pretty specific charge/bullet weights

[fading frigate]

For what i know , I have great respect for marksmen and snipers
You cant possibly imagine the maths they have to do to align their shots.

Since i have a beer in hand - To the Snipers that save the Grunts butts and dispatch the Threats ahead

[austere void]

Depends on specifics. For "standard" use, NATO issue .50 Cal Rounds.
if there was a Specific Use. The Armour would Talour the Grams for the mission which was always above my paygrade to know. I just looked down the sight.

[fading frigate]

These MFers do extensive bullet science

[fading frigate]

UK Forces dont do this on their own?

[austere void]

It is so less glamorous than you will ever know

[austere void]

No forces do.

[fading frigate]

Been in deployment , i have had some buddies from the snipers

But their math was too high for me

[fading frigate]

Thats sadly the truth , yet i can appreciate fellow soldiers in their respective units

[fading frigate]

German "Scharfschützen" do at special occasions their own rounds , they get a full course on hot loads and how much bang they can pack.

Buddies tried to explain this for me , but it was pretty insane

But this is special forces

I just had my G36 ^^

[austere void]

No they do not. This is actually considered illegal and against those wierdos in Geneva, who made a convention. The only time a "sniper" can "make" their own ammo, with their "own" grammage" is if they are not "supposed" to be their in the first place.
We are talking Black Ops Shit. You know, where, if you got caught, the leasty of your issues is the fact you may or may not have used illegal rounds.

[ruby fractal]

@austere void hey so what’s your fav MMR in the game , I’d like to know what someone with actual sniper experience would choose

[austere void]

I coulc recommendations into the Armourer when making my ammo for the grammage I needed, 90% of the time he would listen, but 100% of the time, it is up to him.

[fading frigate]

Like i said Special forces - and i also said that the maths behind this isnt graspable for me
thats some real next level shit

[austere void]

None. MMR is this game are systematical trash. 60 meter max range . . . . . Uh huh?
On shot Immediate target acquisition . . . . . Uh huh?
Only Aplicable Damage is Head shot? . . . . . Uh Huh?

You find me a Real Life Sniper that only hit Head shots and I will find you a Liar.

[ruby fractal]

😂 . Ubisoft loses points for realism

[fading frigate]

Were talking about - The Division

Thats not an accurate depiction of firefights

(Cough - Hammering 5 Magazines into one body)

[austere void]

Special Forces and Black Ops are 2 VERY different things.
Special Forces have a billion and one other things to worry about, 99% of the time, they are using NATO standard.

[fading frigate]

German KSK is special forces ?!

[austere void]

They are not allowed to use anything other than NATO Standard.

[fading frigate]

for the sake of the server i agree on this

But ive seen otherwise and been told otherwise - Thats a different story to tell tho

[ruby fractal]

Seriously no one is a bullet sponge in real life

[austere void]

The KSK is a British trained German Commando Unit, formed in 1996. I personally trained their Recon unit in 2017. They do not use anything outside of NATO issue.

[wind pilot]

I'm thinking about playing The Division 2 again so I can play PVP. Which platform has the most active players for PVP, PC or Playstation?

[austere void]

I think it is PS. Xbox is dying. PvP is not that prominant on PC.

[ruby fractal]

No way , I’m on pc and the second I walk into any DZ I’m getting killed . There’s a lot of rogue campers

Also, I didn’t know this game wasn’t cross play

[austere void]

PvP is just not as big on PC as a lot of people think. It is much larger on Console and the most prominant console platform, as far as I am aware, is Playstation.
Could be wrong, I am a PC player myself, but I am 100% PvE

[austere void]

You do not want it to be.

[wind pilot]

Ok, thanks for the message. What about the Division 1 survival mode? More players on PlayStation or PC?

[main moth]

So I finally reached level 40 and I’m overwhelmed by all the stuff popping up on my screen. What should I start focusing on?

[wind pilot]

Which platform has more active players for a PVE match?@austere void @austere void

[ruby fractal]

Start working on your build to grind content

Without a build you are gonna struggle with content so that’s pretty high t on the priority list

[austere void]

Firstly stop being a hot guy, the rest of us need some bewbs.
Gets yourself 4 pieces strikers, with Backpack and a chest with Obliterate. (No it does not amtter which).
4 Striker, chest with Obliterate and typically some mask you like, preferable something with Crit rolls.
This will prettey mucha llow to jump straight to Heroic. Farms rolls and max out your library as much as you can.

[austere void]

I would argue PC

[main moth]

And I can just look up where to farm specific gear? Or is it all RNG?

[austere void]

On the map, there is a tool tip in the bottom left for Targetted Loot. Press this button. It will show the most likely loot in that area.

[main moth]

Thanks homie

[austere void]

What is a homie?

[main moth]

A "homie" is a slang term that refers to a close friend or companion, often someone from the same neighborhood or community. It implies a sense of loyalty, trust, and camaraderie. The term is widely used in various subcultures, especially in hip-hop and urban communities, to denote a strong bond of friendship.

Read that in the ISAC voice adds some more spice

[austere void]

I feel like this is copy and pasted from Wikipedia . . . . . .

[main moth]

Chat Gpt

[main moth]

Is this a dps build or what’s the primary focus of it

[ruby fractal]

Is a lvl4 CP challenging or heroic?

[umbral hearth]

the control point bug still isnt fixed???

[austere void]

There are many applications of it. 4 piece strikers is mostly DPS, from here, as long as you experiment intelligently, there is no end to hat it could do.

[austere void]

Level 4 is Heroic

[main moth]

Rgr

[ruby fractal]

Thank God , I thought I was too squishy but it seems legit for the damage I’m taking

[umbral hearth]

trello board says its been fixed, but all my control points in NYC from my last play session (literally an hour ago) are wiped

[ruby fractal]

Kinda feels like SHD needs to be at 1k to do heroic comfortably

[umbral hearth]

what build are you running and how optimized are you

[ruby fractal]

I’m running Marksman build with 3 Breaking point 2 Summit and 1 Overlord

Determined with Headhunter

1tier repair

Drone for assist and hive for heals

[austere void]

You know what, just for you sexy people. I will do a video on "Easy But Worthwhile New Player Builds For PvE".

[ruby fractal]

I can easy do CP3 but 4 becomes too hard

[austere void]

yeah, Breaking point is just bad.,

[ruby fractal]

Really???

[umbral hearth]

yea i think its just a problem with your build man

[ruby fractal]

Why is breaking point bad?

[umbral hearth]

have you checked the spreadsheet under the pins in #td2-build-advice

should be able to find some solid stuff there
