using directX 11 or 12?
my settings currently dx12, which was working fine last week. Waiting for game file verification to finish, I'll try turning off dx12 if crashing persists
I'm gonna CRASH OUT AGHHGGGGGG
Crashing non stop bro I just got the btsu gloves I WENT TO GRAB THEM I CRASHED πͺπͺπͺπͺπͺ
turning off dx12 working so far
dx12 just appears to be kinda cursed in this game
DX11 cursed for me
I think it's random...last week game was running fine with dx12 enabled. I bet in a week or so it'll start crashing again and stop doing so when I enable dx12 again π
I haven't crashed for like few months
because you've uninstalled?
Yeas that as well half of times it was uninstalled 
Yeah, we know. You hate Div 2
It's not hate it's more like bored from div2 i have 2000+ hrs in this game
Breakpoint was ass the only cool thing were the cosmetics no one knew how to do the recon island
It is better to not create a game than to create blunders like Breakpoint I don't want SC/POP remake any time soon
I also got the 9% loading screen crash on repeat, then I switched to the Steam version and it's working fine now π€‘
is theirr a bug were every week i cant buy anything from descent vendor they always are blank now shows nothing was ok atleast 2 months ago
also call for backup waited 26mins and nobody jo-ined me lol is that broke also
can someone help me with hunt?
Which 1
n00b question - what does LZ mean in The Spreadsheet? I'm trying to find how to drop a Burn Out.
regular open world, aka not DZ
Light Zone π yeah, that tracks
are the servers still down?
Not for me
Also, is it worth it to run the global difficulty as challenging over normal? Just finished main story and hit level 40 and dont really have a build gong on yet
hi sry for question but what reward is from bounty? and its like cp? can i do it endless or not?
once you do have a build going and experience, yes, as removing purple gear from the loot pool is a big upgrade
im on challenging and im still getting purple gear lol
That shouldnt happen
is that with heroic or challenging
With challenging
not really. Besides a few of the challenges etc kill elites.
well you get a lot more xp
do i have to finish warlords of new york for challenging to only reward legendaries/more exp?
You finish warlord to get back to dc
im doing all the black tusk strongholds before I go to warlords
should i not be doing that lol
After black tusk run warlords
You play at your own pace. There is 0 reason to rush.
Just remember that any gear below Lvl 40 that's not Exotic is going in the trash when you are Lvl 40.
Or a solo leveling mule build
Ok got 2 pieces there Xmas pieces
i am 40 already lol, hit it before doing black tusk stuff
That's not a thing anymore, you can go to DC whenever.
Oh didn't know that
Yeah, leveling mules and all the stuff with end game is super funk right now.
Hey Rivens, Souless
Hey everyone. Just got back from a long ff16 session... Logged in to D2 and keeners back? How? Lol
Like how long?
A year long I'd imaginw
Thats a big session
Yeah I've been off td2 for... Well my last big boss was the electric company with Anderson
You're working for The Electric Company?
But seriously, if you need a summary for what happened over recent seasons, I'll be glad to help
Can someone help me with a raid or something.
I donβt have no friends who play this and no one answers the lfg
Anybody know what a rooftop garden is... Its one of these trials but I don't see it on map
Is it that bounty area? Where you have to turn on the water? No clue, honestly.
Your best bet is watching an LFG raid chat, gcrock is generally the most active, and watching for people filling out groups. As you start to raid you'll get into PSN raid chats, where people typically group up on PSN.

Sad you didn't get the d?
sir, focus on getting incursion WR again
Did someone beat it?
me, if i imagine meret to be zoo
breh
oh god the yellow jacket guy made an incursion vid and it's an hour and 17 minutes long...
hmmm
Gotta get that ad revenue 
Next up we're going to talk about useful strategies casually lifts up a brand placement item BUT FIRST, I need a drink....
XD
What is this Wayne's world?
Can't get my game on without Brawndo, the thirst annihilator, now available in a 128pack for only insane price here. Now where were we? Oh yes, incursions strategies.
Plants crave the incursion.
why is every control point on story difficulty even when my game difficulty is heroic
Because you need to do all the invaded missions and tidal before difficulty unlocks for them. Also I think you mean "normal" diff.
ohh i gotcha
Dudes i have a very specific question
Technically the World in TD2 has gone to shit
Technically this also means that the Hague isnt functional
Couldn't you ask this in #division-universe
Good point
does anyone know how to find the capture file when we took picture using photo mode? I am using PC.
documents/games/tom clancy's the division 2
in game is 25 hunter masks or more but hidden?
More or less. You need to do open world puzzles to summon the Hunters and defeat them to get masks. Some of them have 4 at a time, so you'll probably need a group to help you out
There is an empty Hunter mask spot in Haven
so 25 or 26 spots?
I dunno, I haven't checked yet
descent uniforms are just reskins of the Johnson one
Okay? And?
Shush
i'll reskin your johnson
me next?
I'm pretty sure this is a metaphor
its there any plans of division3?
yes
Woah calm down buddy, that's a serious threat
Devs forgot to put Catharsis in my game.
rip
the more you think about the harder it will to get it
Well it's not in TL until you obtain it from caches or someone drops it for you.
well at least its not same exotic 4 times in a row
How do I get access to vc
It's literally in countdown
I've gotten 2 in a single game b4 homie. I'll tell u what doesn't drop, the BTSU gloves
join a different discord... they were removed from this server by ubisoft.
the community discord still has VC , just lookup thedivision , itll be ~79k members
Never seen a game on conflict so bad as this one, no balance at all putting players who try to play it with vs 15.000 watch level π€¦ββοΈπ€¦ββοΈπ€¦ββοΈπ€¦ββοΈπ€¦ββοΈπ€¦ββοΈπ€¦ββοΈπ€¦ββοΈπ€¦ββοΈπ€¦ββοΈπ€¦ββοΈ
This is bad asf, cant even play or have fun on it, cause the game balances you lvl 200 vs 15.000+ thats how bad this game mode is broken
It's a lack of players tbh
Watch levels are disabled in Conflict afaik...
That too
Yeah watch levels are disabled and expertise
I've killed 10k+ agents with a sniper pvp build so I have plenty of fun
ig that backfired 
every pvp game in existence runs into the same issues. people always gonna claim others have an advantage, or more experience, or hacking..... basically use it as motivation to do better or just dont pvp .. its not for everyone, regardless of the game
Is there a spreadsheet of any king on where to find all names blueprints?
yeah, pins in #td2-build-advice has a link. idk if it has blueprints listed tho.
most attachment/optimization blueprints drop from level 3 controlpoints (challenging and up). some will be a specific location but you can select in crafting bench and itll tell you how to unlock them
mb, it does list them
#td2-descent has a pinned list of named blueprints that drop from reconstructed caches
Does dark winter dz exclusive?
Not it's not DZ exclusive
it's from dz and named, and from manhunt bounty targets as well
Rarely seen dark winter now days. But surely u can get one when smg is targeted loot in dz
After project dissolve there are better smgs too, well not counting ouros.
they drop i got 5 from legendary tidal in the same run
need 2 people for paradise lost
you want people ro read channel names ?
whats next, people reading youtube descriptions ?
I know. Bizzare, right? π
i just thought of something even worse
people reading rules before posting
what a wild thought
The horror π
QQ looking for some help on trying to respawning WONY hunters specifically the last 4 hunters where you ahve to shoot the targets. any suggestions? thx
Assuming you didn't kill them all the first time: you'll need to start all the steps all over again. To reduce the chance of failing again, do it all on Normal difficulty and once you're ready to hit the final button, call in some players to help: ideally you want someone with a foam build to pin them down and a couple of strong dps players (nego is ideal) to murder them quickly
Thx for the advise the issue is I cant get any of the steps to spawn the hunter to work, I shoot the christmas tree start and nothing happens. thx
i think night time starts at 21:00 which is laters some people expect it
the first part of shooting the star on the christmas tree could be done at anytime. I got the server key the first time from shooting all of the stars.
thx again for the help this hunter process is crazy buggy and frustrating
Hey Kettle π
Yeah right shd level is turned off but player still have on the millions of shield and health while having that all dps π€π€π€
hey Saph
Where would one put suggestions/ideas for The Division 3? Is there a dropbox here on Discord or would it go to a forum post elsewhere or maybe direct to support at Ubi...?
You donβt
They most likely wouldnβt listen and the game isnβt even in full production yet
It's never too early to have ideas on something.
Yeah, but they most likely wonβt use them
It's only ever too late that matters.
If they do, they do. If they don't, they don't. Once an idea is cast into the void, it's the void's discretion what happens to it.
And sometimes fate plays its hand
^^
no point giving them any suggestions...update 1.xx we made changes bla bla, and then crashed the game, scheduled maintenance to fix the changes we made....
rinse n repeat
there nothing about div3 ready, either community side or on their side
and there are no forums anymore, they nuked in favour of discord
Discord is supposed to be a chat app. Not a forum or a repository π
say that to ubi
and thats why every PTS you find one giant ass wallpost from me like it was still a forum
It's not just Ubi. There're a lot of Discord servers where they keep game mods or guides exclusive to download there.
It shouldn't work that way.
Should probably inform discord of this so they stop adding forum features.
discord depository?
For some reason, some servers only allow you to download game mods if you join them
I've grown quite fond of the double-barrel shotgun
build/skill issue
in spanish, not renegades, ¨denied¨ agents
lmao
oh well
no photros allowed
sended in #ask-td2-community
xd
no idea how translators or qa not noticed that
hey guys heres some completely useless div2 information
none of the npcs in the white house react when you wave at them
except coop dennison, the quartermaster, he says hi
so wave at coop the next time you see him
( dont ask why i know this, i was really bored so found out )
not really while waiting there is no much to do
i hope next td were in spain or france
xd
Hello fellow members , I currently purchased the division 2 ultra edition on sale for few bucks just got couple questions
One: how long is campaign
Two:should I skip to warlord level 30 or start fresh level one
Three and the last: what's the difference between specialisations and abilities that grants you shield for example !
actually any emote works, and he has different reactions to different emotes
forgot to mention that
Campaign for base game is 50 hours + 4 hours if you have WoNY
I think there is 2 ways to think of the campaign time. Are you just leveling or doing every mission/side mission/on map activities or are you just doing the needed stuff to progress?
Second question, only you can answer that yourself. Are you one that cares much about lore and immersion?
For the second question you can do both really.
I think campaign is closer to 25h
Wouldnt reccomend skipping since you are probably just going to play the campaign once and skips are causing some bugs
Specializations are kinda like a set of perks, semi unrelated with skills
i dont think skip is a good option
Alright thanks everyone for your time π
yeah my bro cant play raids, he instant left from lobby but still can see everybody playing and killing(no loot)
Ye I thought of the same thing I would like to experience everything down from scratch wouldn't like skipping to wony expansion
Bro asked us like he's doing a survey π
At least its easy to read and understand
also if you skip you dont ¨learn¨ how to play or survive at all, like in WoW you dont understand how work 30abilitys if you get almost max level boost
He most likely need to finish wony
#news-and-announcements message I noticed today that this is just incorrect...
Season menu
#ask-td2-community message Is GB active or is this guy getting screwed because he just hit SHD levels? Maybe needs a relog or something?
Sorry was talking about where to find golden bullet event not towards yoy
GB is active
Although I don't know why he's getting a different season schedule than the rest of us
Devs announced the wrong schedule on twitter
Ah yes let me join the official discord for them to sparingly give official news so I have to go to a website I loathe.
Β―_(γ)_/Β―
whats with division2 rn it feels like im on 3 fps
Whos free to do a Legendary capitol building run? I have never done any legendary missions hahaha
i really want to grind this game but become lost and unsure what and where to grind im looking for some division friends
check out the π Spreadsheet at #td2-build-advice to get that grind goin'
preciate it ill check it out
is incursion dead? been matchmaking for 40 minutes and nothing
You're better off looking for a group
genereally doesnt take much more than 2-5min to find one group for me in matchmaking
what do u mean a group? im already matchmaking for incursion?
thats what i mean, when matchmaking it usually doesnt take long to get an invite to group
Has anyone else been getting an issue since last patch with mobs taking zero damage for short periods of time. It's like some sort of desync issue?
could be connection their end most likely, we just had that amazon screw up earlier this week
Yeah maybe. It happens enough that I could easily record it in a 15 minute play session.
incase it isnt a known thing
good ping and no loss on my end according to the game network status thing
Hmm, what's this in relation to?
We're aware of the increased frequency of crashes affecting players
Game crashes?
yeah, prob the people crashing when loading into game
Making petco fairview anybody ?
maybe you donβt have the right audio output set on ur computer
π€¦ββοΈ Just made it to 40 level 5 SHD. They slam me with a challenging bounty for the season trial. I call for backup and no one is joining. I guess I'm gonna die a few times before I get it done π©
Just got 2 Coyote's Masks on one round of Countdown.
So, mask farming results to-date:
Coyote's Mask - 9
Vile - 6
Catharsis - 0
And then got another Vile from the Exotic Cache. Because of course I did...
Catharsis does not exist in my game.
the more you wish for it, the less likely you will get it
got to empty your mind, forget why you are grinding, then the you trick the game into giving you what you want
Our I could just pay somebody to give me one? Our are they account bound?
people can only share the drops with people who are in their team at the time the item dropped and for a limited time
Well, there goes that idea... Back to the grind!
definitely exists, i deconned one yesterday π
if you group up you multiply your chances
are you using all purple gear?
sorry just noticed your message is from 2 hours ago, my bad. If you still need help feel free to send me an invite; uplay name is same as in discord
was going to comment that overlord just looks really small for a shotgun, turns out the KSG always looked that small, the other ones are just kinda big
Added you. I got another challenging bounty π«
there's a chat command, /invite {players' uplay name here} you can use, not necessary to send uplay friend request each time. Anyways I need to swap to another character, give me 5 min
Oh didn't know that
@radiant prism thanks for the help π
Yo my game has been glitching lately when i play division, all of sudden my controller glitches during the game for a few seconds and comes back but when I stopped playing division for some reason works perfectly
Platform?
guys wtf is going on with this game i havent played in months
everything is weird with my character
did something change?
this character isn't in wony; all the gear is level 29 instead of 30
and world levels dont seem like they exist?
am I just stupid or
also I don't have a targeted loot button anymore, though it seems like it still exists
it feels like I got backtracked or somethin
okay now i get it
They removed world tiers
They also removed gear score
thye let everyone go to lv 40 even if they dont have DLC, world tiers got reworked into just being regular levels, as such the end game mechanics are now in lv40 including targeted loot
could swear i had pressed enter
Hey, does the division 2 has cross save?
Between Xbox and playstation
i believe no
nope, it does not
Sure? How can i confirm this
i mean you can probably try some weird vodoo magic to make it happen, but yeah devs didnt implement anything about that
harder than it looks and big chances of things fudging up in a bad way which makes it a bad risk
guess i cant swear here anymore
i mean you could personally find a dev's phone number and call them and ask and they'll tell you the same thing i told you- that Division 2 doesnt have cross save or cross progression, but i'd just take my word for it and leave it at that. (please do not find a dev's phone number, for the record)
It does not NuFoG. A lot of people have asked the same on Reddit and the answer's the same.
You can link your Steam and Ubisoft account and own two copies in both clients, but that's still the same platform.
Switching consoles or going to PC won't save any progress you've made on your original character. It'll be a clean slate.
My question was that, where can I look it up, didn't meant to get you upset
There's probably a sea of articles bringing it up
You can find it on just about any reddit post that asks that exact same question. Or yeah, you can google it and probably find an article.
But if the above isn't enough to convince you, then big dog, I don't know what else to say. You're gonna have to buy a PS4 or Buy the game on PC and confirm it yourself at that point. 
Also, Aspect is probably not upset, lmao. He was being sarcastic. I know text doesn't exactly translate tone very well, but I know the guy. He's just messing with you.
Also he's a mod. It'd be pretty immature for a mod to get upset over one question. And if that was the case he wouldn't even have that position.

I'm still voting for Aspect in the next election.
hello, I left the game around October 2019 (7 months after launch)
I am thinking about coming back, but I really suck at mechanics (raids) and aiming in general
my question: is a tank build viable in the highest difficulty of the game (Legendary?) if i all i want to do is turn my brain off and leeroy jenkins into the middle of things (again, non-raids)
i know that a proper tank in this game increases the damaage that an enemy takes, so i was wondering if i go with that role, would it still allow a can't-aim person like me to enjoy the highest difficulty with people in non-raids
edit: the build i was researching before deciding on coming back https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcNJNujP878
You're not going to last. A lot has changed since then and Tank builds are a hit or miss build, especially on Legendary where damage builds are much more valued by group members.
A proper tank in the traditional sense is supposed to draw threat, soak up damage, and buff his team. But tanks in Division two can only do maybe like one or two of those things at once. They just don't bring a lot of value to a team and often times get left in the dust by DPS builds or Skill Builds.
But you're more than welcome to look through the google doc in #td2-build-advice pins.
There's a whole host of builds there that work wonders. If bad aim is what you're worried about, then consider using a skill buiild. Healers are great in Legendary and almost always guarantee success. And skill builds are equally capable of doing some decent damage with the right set up. More than anything, just develop some good game sense and make good plays. Your success in Legendary essentially boils down to: A) How skillful are you? and B) How good is your build?
Oh, hey, i'm not upset. I just wanted to elaborate that the only real solid confimation from a reliable source barring people here would be Ubisoft themselves. Just making a joke, ya know?
ty, that's where i found the build at; the Universal FB Tank build by IamFox
it's also a "me dying" issue. destiny 2 I can go full tank too with a non-meta build, but even then though, depending on the content, if i don't react in like 1-2 secs, i'll drop dead
so going with the tank (in most games i play) is more of a safety net for me in hoping that i have longer than 2 secs to react to something and not to die
though i do love being a healer too
Objectively speaking, the role of a Tank is to be a support unit that can draw aggro and distract enemies long enough for the DPS players to do their job and clean up the ads.
But sadly, Division 2 has an awful tanking system where sometimes the NPCs just flat out don't look your way. So that's problem #1. Threat is useless.
Problem #2, tanks can give some ok buffs, and the like, but the buffs they offer are (at least in my humble opinion) kind of bad. Like sure, vanguard is great for some extra bonus armor, but I'd rather just have a healer at that point that can freely heal armor instead of waiting on a cooldown. Same thing with the Tardigrade Exotic. The last second armor buff is nice, but at that point I'd be better off getting heals.
True Patriot is a build that supports teammates as well, but the only good Buff on it is the Red buff which amps damage for the group. Which at that point, you're better off just replacing that person with someone running a DPS build. The white buff won't even repair a lot for anyone not running a tanky build because the repair is only 3% max. The blue buff is also kinda meh. Reducing 8% damage isn't as good as just having one less NPC on the field to deal with. Which is what DPS builds and certain skill builds are good at.
Like I said, you're more than welcome to run a Tank, but there's drawbacks. And generally you'll provide more value to the team if you run something else instead.
Also some tanks just don't know how to position themselves very well. NPCs, especially on Legendary, love to flank. And if you're not careful, then it's "rip bozo" for you. On top of that, even if it's unintentional, you might block some of your team member's shots, which they will definitely not appreciate. Especially if they're getting a good streak going.
Case and point, A lot of Division 2 was just simply built around doing more damage. Not actually playing tank or a support role most times. And it's why Solo builds often still incorporate some Red cores on hybrid builds for the most part.
Tanks can definitely work in legendary content, although things do get harder the more players you have in your team. The enemy armor and health scales based off of the amount of people in the team, so things are going to take more ammo and time to kill espeically if you have a tank at high player amounts that won't be outputing the required dps
Unless you're like... runing the Turret/Drone skill build. Which essentially requires nothing of you but to keep shooting your capacitor to keep up buffs.
I cannot emphasize this any more if I wanted to ^^^.
Tank builds unironically work the best if you are solo or at most duo
That being said, literally anything can do legendary, it's just a matter of experience and patience
So there you have it. Now you just have to decide what to do next.
ty both

i had a 12 sec drone jammer build for the 1st raid but they went and nerfed the CD back then after it caught on
but if skill builds are a thing now mebbe i'll jus hide behind cover and bring out the roly poly bombs then
You can go 4 pc blue striker with momento and obl, intimidate chest with eagle bearer and hold W at enemies and basically be invincible in some legendary stages, but you don't want to rely on that if you have team mates that can ruin your trophy chain
Also the best stage to be a tank is the last stage of tidal basin, you will literally be close to invincible to enemies if you have all pfe
I wouldn't use Memento in group settings unless you are 100% confident in your abilities to kill things before your teammates can.
You can make it work, but it requires a lot more effort on your part than with a build that doesn't use it.
Speaking from experience as someone who always ends up a sweaty gamer in his chair after Legendary runs with Memento.
I do well, but I get worked up because of it.
Meanwhile, I can just kinda chill and take pot shots and enemies with my Classic M1A sacrifice build.
Or throw out a Mortar and give both my team and the NPCs wild motion sickness.

Skill builds are generally the safer types of builds
You can just hide behind cover and chill and even go afk
EZ damage, EZ survivability.
Unless there's a Hunter involved. But that's only in like... Summit when it comes to Legendary.
In that case, a tank build works
you can melee bait with any build
PFE works against hunters and rogues, they will literally be tickling you (just don't let the hunter get close)
oh shit, they finally added Hunters as an enemy
100% Haz pro tank meta build. Eat shit Hunters, lmao.
They've been in the game since release. But you can only find them consistently in Summit and Countdown. They don't normally appear in the open world without completing a set of puzzles first.
And after you kill the open world Hunters in NYC and DC they don't respawn.
i also see that 100% haz pro is back now. i farmed so much tidal basin back during launch for a 100% build so Lucy's fire didnt affect me then devs said 100% wasnt intended and nerfed it +.+
Oh and there's also one in Bardon Schaeffer manhunt mission.
And I guess there's the Recruiter too.
kelso manhunt too
Kelso manhunt had one? I don't remember.
"this one's for Brian"
Rip bozo.
did you see my clips
Where can I see these clips
You need it so you can get immunity to disruption, the emp jam they have on skills. Fighting a Hunter as a tank without it is meaningless. You won't get anywhere.
They'll just keep jamming your shield.
IamFox's tank build says it can keep 100% uptime on a 35% dmg increase to one enemy at a time (the one you're shooting, 5 sec duration) as long as you have shotgun ammo for your Scorpio (15% if Scorpio runs out). would that provide value?...
It's also not all just Haz pro. You need to mix Haz pro with some disrupt resist mods and Keener's Watch.
You don't really need the shield per say, pfe will reduce damage to an extent to the point you can get the hunter cc'ed with scorpio
Fair. But at that point you might as well slap on six red cores and use Riot foam with Scorpio, lmao.
Insant win combo.
At least the shield makes it more interesting.
Scorpio on its own is an instant win button
It's not about killing the hunter fast, it's about looking them in the face and making them suffer
I mean it's about sending a message yes
Cryo grenade when
mfw the hunter outfit has an axe dangling from a carabiner and you can't even use it...
i knew Hunters were in the open world as a puzzle, but they werent enemies in missions yet during the 1st year. all i had were Black Tusk
I miss Anderson farm
Not gonna happen... ever. Devs want to see big play time numbers. And good exotic farming will ruin the Expertise grind. lmfao
can i link my ubi account if i buy the steam version so i dont lose my level 30 and the gear i had on her?
Yes. I own a copy on both clients. Just need to link them first before anything.
But this is for PC only. Your stuff will not transfer if you switch platforms and buy the game on consoles.
sad theres still no cross play between pc and console :/
Probably too much technical engineering going on in the backend to make it a worthwhile endeavor for a game that was supposed to be on life support ages ago.
The fact the we're still getting content is kind of a miracle.
Maybe we'll get crossplay in Division 3. But we don't know.
I just hope by then they do away with the whole cover-based shooter genre.
Cover is fine, but it just doesn't mesh well with the looter shooter genre.
And it shows. So many people hate using cover. And the only reason you'd use it is if you're playing Legendary, lol.
π
Let me dream. > : (
About cross play or Division 3?
Division 3 is already been announced.
Crossplay... not so much.
It was "mentioned" in an interview.
Doesn't count.
I'll believe in Divison 3 when I see a orange shd logo with a 3 from Ubisoft.
Hey, let's give MSV some credit, ok? They're not Valve. I'm hopeful they can count to three.
I thought Bungie could count to 3 but thats not happening either.
just so i can temper my expectations about what skill builds are viable nowadays: back in the first year of launch you could have 12 sec Revive Hive cooldowns and blanket your entire field of view in poison, that is until they nerfed both
am i correct in assuming that those two particular things are still nerfed? or were they "unnerfed" like with the 100% haz pro thing
All skill builds need to be nerfed and removed from the game.
Well... the revive hive is a looong cooldown. And if you use it on yourself, it chews through all of the stacks. I don't know what you mean by poison though. Are you talking about the oxidizer chem launcher?
Cause that one is strong, but it has a niche use.
Oxidizer is for dropping multiple clouds on a spawn point for ads and watching it shred through them as they spawn in.
Anyone who uses a Revive hive is most likely using it for themselves. Most skill builds don't use it.
Healers will use a restorer hive instead, and pair it with BTSU gloves to give it a large skill haste boost and overcharge to make other teammates skills more effective and knock them out of cooldown.
If you use BTSU gloves, and multiple people in your party have the revive hive on cooldown. You can throw your restorer hive, destroy it, and pop the overcharge buff.
And boom. Everyone has their revive hive back.
yes, the chem launcher back during 1st month of the game could be increased so that one launch covered basically 1/3 of your screen. then it was nerfed
Yeah. It's a small radius now. People use it mostly to spawn trap enemies by shooting multiple layers in one spot.
Deals a lot of damage very quickly. By the time the NPCs walk out, they have lost all their armor or nearly all their health.
But the caveat is that you need to anticipate where the NPCs are actually going to spawn from.
If you don't know that you can't stack the clouds fast enough to deal lethal damage.
how are queue times for Legendary content farms?
queue times for the "casual" endgame difficulty you can before Legendary farms?
Depends on what stronghold is selected for the weekly project. That's what most people will matchmake Legendary for. Outside of that, it can be iffy.
Targeted loot may also influence what stronghold people will farm for.
If it's a brand or gear set, maybe not a lot of traction. If it's a category like gloves, rifles, or holsters. It might be more populated. If nothing else, people would like to get an Exotic with good rolls. And Legendary is best to do that with.
But rates will vary and isn't really efficient.
It mostly hinges on the weekly project, but if the mission itself is fun, you could also see a lot players flock to it.
I think most players typically like Capitol and DUA. Roosevelt not a lot, if I'm not mistaken.
I can't speak for the other two. Haven't played them yet. I've kind of fallen off doing Legendary. Used to run it daily all the time. But Countdown eats up all of my effort farming exotic components.
what's the difficulty most people farm before their build is able to go to Legendary? assuming it isn't the one directly below Legendary
Heroic open world or challenging countdown
Pretty much. ^
so what's the whole like gameplay pattern for a character (without skipping story)
the campaign is the same. does it still take you to 30? how do you go to 40 now without WONY?
You can level by replaying missions, doing open world activities, farming the dz, etc
whats with xbox group posts for division 2
Any news on Div 3 or did it get cancelled too?
its not even being worked on yet, its still on pre prod, there is no news to get for a few years

What about them
anyone having constant crash ?
i played fine for 3h untill crash started to be constant non stop
Oh u can just level to 40 in DC?
You can now yeah
Oh thats.. interestinf
Does that mean there's no level 1 to 30 recal station
And what about all the level 40 wony gear sets n stuff
All is this all year 6 s1 or before that
Also*
Just since the start of this season. Think there's still a lvl 30 recalibration library, haven't checked. Afaik newer gear sets are available to everyone now, but wony skills still restricted
Seems like wony is slightly less important now
still exists.
Question what happens if a level 40 player plays together with someone who just started does the level scale to me or does it stay at level 40 for me and at the level of the person who just started?
The enemies are scaled up to 40, the low level player is scaled up to level 39
But will he still get gear for his current level
Yes
Okey thx
Just scales up armour and damage really
Reason I asked I really wanna level up my shd watch while playing with him donβt want to start over
If you're doing story difficulty stuff with him (as he will need to complete those to progress new skills and so on) then you won't get a whole lot of xp, but you'll get some
And another reason that I donβt want to replay with him is cuz Iβm kinda already doing that solo
Okey might reconsider just one question from which point can we play together after your in Washington or after you saved the base of operations
You can join him as soon as he's finished the tutorial and picked his first skill
If you haven't already, check the friend referral thing by the way, get you both some exclusive rewards
But if we both start from the beginning
Must he have access to the base cuz I can remember people roaming in the first bit when we try to reclaim the White House
Both of you need to get to the white house and a skill alone after that you can team up
Okey so are there no players in the bit before that cuz my head remembers seeing players walk around there
No,the social area in the white house is closed off until you do the cutscene and get the skill
How does it work if I may ask like what do I have to do
I meant the part you first get in to Washington that part I have seen players before
But maybe Iβm miss remembering
The coastal and the white house area has no co-op
Take a look in #td2-friend-referral and click one of the links to see, you'll then need to get your own link
I just googled it it says I can also sent it via my friends
Do I have to invite him and does he need to accept it in a certain time or do I just need to invite him
https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/game/the-division/the-division-2/friend-referral
If he's new to the game you can do the referral program
Im that site already
Itβs just does he need to accept the invite or does he have to do nothing?
Your friend has to be linked to your referral code
It says if friend has not opt into Ubisoft emails they will still be enrolled in the program but you may need to contact them directly
Anyone having issues on PC making division 2 launch. It's shows the division 2 easy anti easy cheat screen then nothing but it says it's running.
forcing it to close with task manager and try again, it happens once in a while it me
if that dont work, verify files
I had to force open ubisoft connect for it to do anything
Why could TD2 not have been that good when it came out?
Seriously, I thoroughly enjoy the game now.
Why even bring out a TD3 when they can simply upgrade TD2 as a live service
things I'll never understand
div2 was at least able to stand apart from div1 by having big system changes, and a lot of it didnt actually sit well with people that needed to get reworked
oh I'm with you on that
It's good but hard to grind on your own when on your own and can't survive anything harder than global level hard π€¦ββοΈ which is my issue at the moment. SHD level 9 and dying every time. I just wanted to level up and get gear for library so I can build my gear build.
i honestly wonder what they could even consider for div 3 since i think it's not really needed
but now that TD2 has established itself, it'd be best if they just kept working on the foundation they set with it.
Like, people want to keep playing the old content and there's ways to keep it relevant.
And they love to keep their stuff. A lot are burnt because of what Bungie did with Destiny 1 and 2
i mean i have my own set of pet peeves with div2 such as replayability of kenly and specializations not being open enough or drasticly different from eachother to make their choices more character defining
but changes on gear 2.0 were mostly great, targetted loot helps out people a lot and some of the new game modes are fun even if not for everyone
The game is 5 and a half years old, and they are still releasing 1 large update and other smaller updates. Div1 lasted like 3 years, thus has already outlasted its expectations. It'll end at some point because all things do, and when that happens it'll absolutely be fine
well they want to build live service games to have lifespans for MMOs
at most they get 2 years and then flop
Just matchmake for challenging countdown, easy to be carried and loads of good loot
Hey Raucey π
I honestly don't think the plan for division was ever it being a "forever game". I think that's really an unrealistic expectation by way too many players across gaming in general, where they just expect devs to support whatever their favorite game is for eternity
I did that and got kicked 5 times due to my SHD being low.
On challenging? Unlikely a shd issue, were you running a skill build maybe?
On Heroic people will definitely kick for low shd though
But you can always host your own
Yeah if you feel you are getting kicked from countdown just host your own.
@heavy hull gersith my boy π
Just one guy spamming the same thing
Bots
I can't stop falling into the trap of right clicking to deconstruct gear system mods after doing that to other inventory armor and weapons. The right click doesn't select the mod like it does for armor and weapons. I end up deconstructing the highest value mode that is automatically selected.
I need to train myselft to left click the mod I wan't to deconstruct.
just started playing and hit level 40, what should I do now
Add stuff to your library.
what do you mean?
Instead of deconstructing or selling inventory items go to your inventory and press M for library to remove core attributes, attributes & talents to tinker to recalibrate your stuff.
thanks. What do i do next in the game though? just finished dlc story
You'd wanna get a build started. Pinned in the #td2-build-advice is a spread sheet if you head to the Hub(builds) tab you'll find descriptions of builds and on the right a hyperlink to an evernote page that will explain the builds if you read them.
thanks, what should i do to get more gear at my current level?
Countdown is your best bet for loot but if you have nothing you'll be getting a full carry, it's the highest loot per min and it lets you select the loot you target. Summit also allows you to target loot but you can solo play and customize it's difficulty.
You can also run the maps targeted loot as an option too.
Countdown is scaled for 8 people and you sould matchmake on challenging.
alright thanks ill try that!
People only play challenging and heroic for that.
You should start with challenging and if you end up getting kicked because some hate low SHD people just host your own.
Depends on your play style. Wanna shoot stuff with your gun? Nego, HB, Strikers. I wanna sit in cover and let skills do stuff? Drone turret skill build. Wanna snipe the ever living sheet out of everything? Sniper setups.
There are loadouts so you can save and swap builds super easy so try things out and try to have fun before getting too meta/sweaty.
how do i get the strikers stuff?
You farm targeted loot via whichever thing you wanna do.
If you do countdown runs it will only take you 2-3 to get all slots of striker so you can choose and pick which 4 slots you want to fill.
If you are getting into build please do yourself a favor and read the talents of the items and if you follow a build guide read the entire thing. If you don't understand something feel free to ask, it might save you tons of trouble and headaches.
oh so its not just me who randomly crashes on startup
I mean they even know about it #server-status message
Hopefully it means a fix within this up comming week or the following week.
is countdown the best way to try and get coyote mask?
Yes
Just know coyotes is best in slot but a ceska/groupo will do just fine until you get one cause RNG can be pain sometimes.
^
Sometimes, the best way to beat RNG is to pretend to not care about the loot you want until you get it.
i got a problem, when i right click to aim with my weapon it gets auto cancelled so cant aim. Its a brand new install by the way.
Now I did it! I enabled DX12 rendering in the video settings and now the game will crash after I select Continue. Why not enable DX12 for better performance when running Win10? I found a fix posted by MrSaviorHD on reddit, "DX12 Potential Fix for crashing". Now my game continues without crashing.
Are you holding down right click or just tapping it?
holding down
Hmm dunno then
Have you reset all keybinds? If it's a new install(I'm assuming mouse) have you updated it's software/drivers/firmware?
yes i did, tomorrow i will try with different mouse if i can borrow one from friends
because when i changed the keybinding from RMB to any random key it works, so might be the mouse itself
Wouldn't be the first time someone got bad hardware.
How do DZ extractions work?
You go to a specific extraction area, hold f button to call an extract. Wait a minute and half till extract helo comes in, then put your DZ loot in the helo's range.
Keep in mind that players who are rogue can try to sabotage your extract, so its best to stay in the extract area until the helo leaves
Does that extracted loot then appear in my Stash?
Yes
Mailbox tab of stash if i remember correctly
It crashed with the "fix" on the next game launch. Turning off the DX12 rendering now.#td2-general-chat message
how u do that
Anyone wanna do smth ? Psn: playboi-_-Mario
Would be nice to get a new RAID
a new raid ? in this economy ?
Did anybody actually enjoy the raids? Cuz I remember people disliking Dark Hours.
No idea on Iron Horse
Anyone help me to make summit ?
Alr ty
Iron horse is more in depth in mechanics for the raid, still suffers from being mostly striker DPS checks/one shot speedrun strats and healers to keep people up
With one use of shield tanks to keep people alive at the end
i liked dark hour, not the buddy/lucy tho, but boomer was ok-ish; the plane encounter was pretty good, and razorback was awesome, my only problem is buddy and lucy that is really unfun imo if you do it legit
i guess iron horse was more about mechanics so people had more funs doing the encounters, tho i havent done it yet so i cant really tell, but from what people say, its less of a dps check than dark hours
tbh dps check can be ok, but they are mostly boring
but yeah, if 80% of your raid lobby has to run striker to be viable, thats really bad
other builds should be able to shine
and i mean regular builds not very niche build like aoe oneshot for speedruns
there is more DPS checks but it's not JUST dps checks
yeah, boomer and buddy/lucy are almost only dps check, its really not great
there's a lot more moving around, pressing buttons, coordinating whne to use special items and rocket launchers, people having to take care of adds and doors
the incursion is much better regarding that, especially the fire boss
i prefer incursion over the raids personally
think it's a bit more bite sized in a good way
They are the best parts of the game imo
but as i said there is a lot more to iron horse with buttons and etc, which also has the issue of no one needing to really be anything other DPS most of the time, since you dont need to be a healer/tank/dps to just press a button
also i have a huge problem on balance in div 2, you can take big damage and not die cause of the anti oneshot protection leaving you at 1 hp, you heal top full thank to an armor plate, but then a random npc does medium/little damage and get downed instantly cause your armor is tanking nothing in reality and your hp is what decide if you get the oneshot protection or not, its a pain to be at full armor and play as if you were naked cause that armor mean nothing
how do you make skills like turrets, drones, seekers relevant to the raid is the cristicism they get
most skills are pretty much useless
they are a gimmick at best
and the rare that COULD be ok-ish are never used cause another variant is mandatory
yeah it's an issue of making hard content that can adapt to it
eclipse is hella dope and strong, dont use it on raids tho
especially when half the lategame content has hack/emp
well stuff has found some use overtime such as achilles pulse and oxidizer in funny strats
idk how they went from awful balance pre 1.4 in div 1 to good balance until 1.6 and great after that
and then spit out div 2 like this
but more by community finding weird things nad less due being having ecnounters with them in mind
as if nothing was learned
div2 is trying to a different game from 1 in many design concepts lots of hits and misses because of that
i dont feel like dev try out builds before making content, they test only striker
My fave things to do, we run them around 4 times a week with the clan. Fun to do different runs with different strats and mess around lol
And also Div 2 was developed way before 1.4 and 1.6 was out.
yeah but still, you'd think they would share knowledge
Funny you guys mention Striker being a necessity in the raids. Cuz in my clan, we use a Crit High-End DPS build (which includes The Gift/Contractor/Fox) xD
i mean the whole pie/pizza power distribution was a mess but was trying to fix an issue
if you know the raid by heart its not the same
well raids were released before striker were good, i just use it as a simple example of what people look for
yeah that too
after all i didnt mention teh one shot regulus gimmicks people pull out and so on
Okay
i remember when dark hour went live the first night, everybody was grouping with random, and dying on bommer
nobody had enough dps to take him down
Let's be honest, random groups doing raids never ends well
people were using double barrel secondary and dodge city holster to reload LMGs
I did the incursion with a random group once. Never again
yeah but thats mostly caause of mechanics, not cause of dps, if you check countdown, there is no mecanics, and dps is high
Ok
i did incursion 12 times in the first week to get my ouroboros with randoms
Ok
Ok
ok
Ok
but yeah i liked first game incursions that rolled out a big gimmick through it
they did suffer a bit from just being repeat same pattern 3 times
idk, i just hope someday devs will rebalance everything but not randomly, its better than on release but it was godamn awful backthen
i remember some talent were straight up losing you dps
they are definetly struggling to make new interesting gimmicks to set
i would gladly accept a full season of low/no content if they work on reworking everything
to make it good
Yeah, last time, we got Project Resolve, which delayed the Brooklyn DLC.
And it wasn't 100% perfect, therefore it was garbage and a waste of time
i dont agree, any improvement is better
balance today is so much better than what it was before
talents are actually useful
well wouldnt mind another resolve for skills, and a later one for gear sets and exotics
Well, I sure don't miss SHD Points and Expertise playing a huge factor in Conflict
i think the main problem
div 2 had more issues to deal with at the start than div 1
creating more issues, each one like a domino effect
they have to rebuild foundations
that would take a lot of time and people
and if their team is already reduced, i think even a full year might not be enough
so, yeah, i think game is not going to change anymore, they found a model that somewhat works until it break, and i think they hope it holds until div 3 comes out
i just hope when this happen it will acutally be with the mistakes of div 2 in mind
and the success of the first too
Gotta hope that ubisoft actually gives them resources
And accepts the live service game model more
I'll literally break down in rage if i manage to get a fun build to use the rest of the game and then the next day div 3 for no reason launches without trailer
"oh no, another game exist, therefore my existence in this other game mean nothing"
Man even div 1 is still up today, what do you care if div 3 exist when you can still enjoy div 2?
Plus it will be sold at 70e or more prob for a while so not a great incentive
Just enjoy playing why would you care
The fact is: i think that whenever a sequel or prequel exists, there's even more fun than the other one, which therefore is quite odd for me everytime i put it in my head
It's like
An more enjoyable phone version than the other one, which get's me thirsty because there's no way you can recreate fun in an game that they'll never add that new fun into it
It's a constant seek for fun
That's the main objective of video games
div 3 also a couple years away at minimum π€ ... hopfully it doesnt take you that long to find a build
That's why i'm trying to get regulus
Which is taking ages
3 weeks max. lookup gcrock discord, im pretty sure they do raid lfg for all platforms
I've been trying for 3 straight years, and i'm not even joking
yeah, i dont doubt it... take the suggestion and youll probably have it within 3 weeks, or less if youve already started it... it wasnt too long ago that i got my own, so i know its not that hard.
Holy shit. The past hour in countdown has been insufferable. Is... is it amateur hour or something?
Are all the newbies getting on at once or?
well, it is the best loot farm.. heroic or challenging?
Challenging. Difficulty aside, I keep seeing groups split, everyone dying to hazards, people making the worst plays. Like holy Jesus. Not a single CD match has gone smoothly, LMFAO
yeah thats kinda crazy. usually its just 1 or 2 soso players
try and take control through vc... you'de be surprised how many will follow. i havent touched cd this whole season. running some sort of cc build might help, if npcs cant move they die easy π― .
My favorite is when people intentionally grief for no reason other than to be assholes.
I was pressuring a Hunter to death in one match. The reward for my efforts? A group clown shooting a propane tank I'm next to.
Like... (γ) ok.
Thanks.

I still don't understand why a farming simulator needs perma death mechanics and environment hazards for. Dogshit design imo.
youll have to hotswap right before end to a skill tier 6 stinger hive and arty... Lootcifer needs those souls anyways
π₯ π π₯
I sincerely do not wish these past 2 and a half hours on anyone. It's been utterly miserable. lol
At least 9/14 runs have been pain.
Mfw I die off spawn to someone blowing up a barrel in my face
Hi guys, just a small question, how to kill the fat one who is holding galting gun and an ammo backpack
I am feeling nut when facing him ππ
ohhh
i try to shoot the backpack
alright, cus literally 3 fat ones pushing the same time in district union legendary
Make me nuts
If you use Survivalist, you can shoot them with bolt and it will instantly destroy whatever piece of their armor you hit. Same thing with warhounds.
Ez win.
are you trying legendary solo?
yeah
something like that with heartbreaker memento
hmmmm
Shoot the ammo belt against a chunga, they are easy kills overall
okay Naval has told me that, should gud to go π
why i cant play Raid on Normal Mode?
So basically this mode is already dead right?
It's not dead
You just need to know where to look for a squad
You can LFG on the community server or GCrocks
That's an issue with you tho, if you cant be happy with what you have and always need more, you need help, not another game
There are tons of games that are better than div 2, why would that be any diffΓ©rent from a game that you dont know if it will be better ?
I still enjoy div1
It's familiar but also different enough I enjoy it
Broken gear helps too
I don't get mfs who sprint around like they're trying to speedrun the game
So what are you supposed to do then?
god damn ubisoft fix ur game. 6 startup crashes in a row
windowed in main menu and you're good to go
then switch to fullscreen once you're in game
windowed or windowed fullscreen?
i did windowed fullscreen
i'll try that thanks
once you are in game you can switch back to fullscreen
mhm doesnt work
DMing
Walk
You can walk
You don't need to hold down shift 24/7
Summit floor 100 legendary need backup ps5
I'm hunting down saint elmo exotic. I'm on floor 10 or 11. Pc if anyone wants to help. I'll amp it up to legendary if it helps.
try deleting *.cicerodata from "Documents\My Games\Tom Clancy's The Division 2" Before launch
You dont need to hold shift, you can just toggle and it will autorun even if you afk
I press x and shift and get a drink until my character goes where i want
i dont get mfs taking 10 years to pickup and sort loot mid mission 
i think it's just couple pieces armor that i'm missing most of the proficiency rest is already maxed out
yeah if you're maxed out ofc
but im prettu sure 99% of players arent and especially not for exotics
I'm happy with div 2 until div 3 launches, it's even more fun than before
how would you know tho
for all we know div 3 might be terrible or even unplayable
new game doesnt mean good
More New content, they wouldn't put the same content and say "this is new!" Like overwatch did
Eh , support tends to be cut and people always to move on the sequel in live service games
how would you know tho ?
Gameplays, trailers or even content reveal
That's how we know what's new
there is 0 gamplay trailer or content reveal
For now
then how would you know
i been getting those recently as well. i was thinking wtf?? is my hw failing.
Once it's revealed i'd watch and search trailers, Gameplays and etc
Hes saying such things will clear those kind of doubts of the game
yeah, once its revealed, but you're saying it now that it will be better
i didnt read it like that
Thats why i said that
Because i always thought that: sequels = new content and fun
yeah thats the thing, there is plenty of examples of it being false
I pickup most items with z and save myself the trouble π
Overwatch is a good example 
New "content"
Division developers doesn't let us down tho
thats a stretch, they sure dont abandon their games and try to do stuff, but they are far from being good at it
like they sure try, but as said before, its hit and miss
So they're decent
yeah you could say that
Yeah that works
but that doesnt garanty a good game
Well almost no developer is trying to develop a bad game on purpose to piss people off
Ubisoft was always known for buggy launches, so it'll be bad at the start but they'll fix
bird and birb im gonna die
Revive hive moment
Yeah yeah, one glass is half full, the other is half empty
yeah obviously tho you can say some are bad at doing good games
Anyhow gonna go make pancakes
Pancakes
idk thereβs a lot games that would make me doubt that
Is that what the kids call it nowadays 
Savoury ones for lunch we make over here
Can we deepfry seeker mines
As long as it doesn't explode like ice does
i'll seeker u dw
π₯
Looks like SHD has had an influx of scots
Would be scary if hunters would do parkour through roofs, like imagine walking and then you see one running throughout towers
Bro that actually worked!! Thanks man. No more crashes (:
The community found a fix before Ubisoft did, lol. Someone pin Molsen's comment
The day before says otherwise 
Almost no, doesnt mean all
Because i know someone would try to be smarty pants about it
Literally assassin's creed
i sheperding disabled somehow? i dont get calls like before. i have it set to all (not friends or clan)
I read that so so wrong
you have to go to matchmaking and do the call for help too
thanks for your reply. but i dont mean me asking for help.
but to go help others, after getting the: "agent in need of assistance" (or how ever its worded) call.
my team mates are on vacation trips. so was looking to play in group with strangers π
oh. so thats changed somehow.. the calls for help used to come to everybody not in group atm. ok. thanks for letting me know .

i just plugged my new creen to play the game
oh boy, did my gpu not like that
my fans went full boeing 747
i guess i'll lower the framerate and graphics details lol
.
Happy to help β€οΈ
As I suspected, by playing the game new cicerodata files are created causing new crashes. deleting those again prevents the crashes. at least we figured out the cause of the crashes.
They're probably trying to find a way to fix until now, we gotta be patient
what are thoses files even ?
How do I get Ouroboros?
Complete incursion and wish you drop it in the box
Spiders in the files crashing everything
Always Spiderman ruining everything 
By doing Paradise Lost: Incursion
The chances for it to drop are 10% Box and 1% Lovebirds
yea its only a workaround π
Man, screw that last WONY Hunter puzzle. It's freaking annoying
It's all or nothing
Hunters in this game were made to be infinitely hard than the first ones
I don't mind the difficulty. It's the puzzles for the last 4 WONY hunters that give me an ulcer.
I just started the division 2, idk what took me so long
Whatβs the best first skill to get
Depends on your playstyle and the build you want, all this for lvl40
If you just started then don't focus on anything I said before. Just play the story and enjoy your journey to lvl40.
I took turret
So once you finish main quest line should you just hop right into New York DLC?
I donβt have the dlc
WoNY is not needed to get the watch and get to lvl40 content, but it does give you access to Rogue Skills that everyone uses nowadays
It's good lol
I canβt find a single person to help me
If it makes you feel any better you won't really need any until well past you finish the campaign
The last manhunt target will be available which day? (Can't check cuz PS5 is on my brother's home, uninstalled on PC)
Are you looking to go into pvp, or maybe you just canβt find a clan well Iβm here to change that we are a conflict clan currently ranked 1300 in global if interested message T3nseMiLkMan on PlayStation
Boo hoo
They should buff the mpx to be 900 rpm and add 5% more dmg and buff the backfire exotic
Yeah idk why back fire need 200 stacks when you never reach that
how do i get to 40 to start the final WONY mission? i'm matchmaking for random main missions to get my final 2 levels but nothing ;;
I wonder why the Burts fire weapons are so bad compared to all the other weapons (M16, 93R, even the merciless is not so good at the end compared to a full red stacks from ravenous)
Hi, does anyone also face content loading issues while playing on PS4? This is so bad that while running through the map the game takes so long to load that I typically run into enemies π¦
Anyone doing ..anything? Playing alone is kinda boring, just need XP (LvL 37) and matchmake is not finding anything .. π¦
I can join later. 4 hours from now. Psn: kojata123
how come when i matchmake Random Main Mission it doesn't matchmake for all of them? it does it only one at a time :/
Based on my very limited experience I think it's best to either answer call for backups or request backup. Game seems to be kinda dead
Run side missions or open world stuff like control points for xp, if you're not lvl 40 matchmaking won't really work for you I think
Did they change the way you get access to keener's watch or something?
The backup call system is also a bit broken at the moment, only way to find calls is to have the 'answer the call' thing active in matchmaking
Yeah after you reach level 40 you get a side mission at the quartermaster in dc I think
There's just so many things to matchmake for, between every difficulty and every mission it's just far easier to matchmake for general "call for backup", leaving matchmaking open, or the handful of things people regularly matchmake for like countdown and legendaries.

what's the max amount of mods you can have on Gear?
-
is this comment from 8 months ago still relevant for a fresh 40?
have u beat WONY? that will unlock the true endgame with SHD levels
then, u find a build u like (we have a build conpendum here) and farm Countdown at least on Challenging diff. bring the Reviver Hive and Scanner/Banshee Pulse and dont rush. the team will carry your weight with no problem while u help and have survivability in case u go down
depends on what you are trying to do and what kind of gear you are planning to use, we have one gear piece that has extra mod slots, some others you can use improvised crafted that also has extra mod slots and so on. if you want an "you need ot always have 7 bleed, 2 shock, 9 protection to elite at all times" i dont think there is such answer
well theres a practical amount and theres the actual max. The actual max would be 7. Mods like CHD and HSD I use quite a lot of, so I have spares I keep on gear I switch to, so I actively use quite a few. PFE mods are the one you would potentially stack up to the max of. Majority of the others I wouldnt keep more than 3 of your best
was it always 3? i thought it was more
i'm reading about this "improvised" gear, and i don't remember needing improvised gear or it even existing, to have a gear mod slot on all 6 pieces of your armor
improvised has been around, but its mostly irrelevant outside some niche cases
Mask chest bag have always been there
Chill out has 2 mod slots and improvised allows some slots as well
Facts
i coulda sworn gloves, holster and knees had em as well
They all had talents
Then it was changed that's probably what you mean
its been a long time since the gear 2.0 update lol
there was a whole revamp like 4+ years ago
i'm almost level 40 and i'm still wearing my level 29 gear realizing this ;;
Yeah, took me a while to notice that π
But xp seems to be good. I was lvl 30 yesterday, 38 now
level 40!
congrats, go claim your watch in DC
thx. i was reading that any levels you gain while without the watch dont count for it
yeah that's likely
Aside from Strained, what's a good talent for the Tactical UMP-45?
fast hands is a popular choice for crit builds
How well does Fast Hands actually work with the lower RPM guns?
if you like short reload times, as well as any other. Depends how much you value sustained dps vs burst dps I guess
when i'm running Challenging Countdown as a fresh 40, you guys think i should keep my level 29 optimized T6 assault and drone build?
or follow this advice and spam Banshee/regular Pulse?
then, u find a build u like (we have a build conpendum here) and farm Countdown at least on Challenging diff. bring the Reviver Hive and Scanner/Banshee Pulse and dont rush. the team will carry your weight with no problem while u help and have survivability in case u go down
don't use turret & drone in countdown, they'll get hacked and turned against you

Hunters are brutal against skill builds.
If you're T6, your skills will melt everyone, including you. And everyone will defintiely not appreciate a wipe that could have been avoided if you ran anything else.
You can do it and make it work. But then you have micromanage your skills and that's not fun. And if they get hacked and you destroy them, it's the same as just not having another player.
Because you're not actually doing anything besides keeping an eye on your skills.
would 100% haz pro prevent hacking?
Case and point, it's not worth the extra effort.
No. Hacking and Disrupt are two very different things.
<
Haz pro also doesn't affect skill proxies. So even if you're Disrupt immune, your skills aren't.
At best you could destroy and redeploy them.
Basically, Hunters wreck skill builds and there's no point using one against them.
-
not a build i'm gonna take in right now, but can shields be hacked?
-
would hazard pro prevent shields from being disrupted? or do i need specifically disrupt for that?
-
Shields cannot be hacked. They're defensive deployable skills. Not Offensive or Supportive. Hacks turn skills against agents. A shield cannot be turned against agents.
-
Disrupt immunity will prevent any of your skill from being jammed, hence it doesn't matter what skill it is, you'll still be able to use it.
so just to make sure I understood that correctly, hazard pro affects me only. disrupt immunity is me and my skills
but neither protects against Hunters
Hazard Protection protects against all Hazards, including Disruption.
But Hazard Protection is only found as an attribute on gear.
Mods will allow you pick a specific status effect you want extra protection against.
And they stack on each other.
So let's assume you have 70% Hazard Pro from Gear + Watch. Then another 30% in your chosen status effect to get Immunity.
Is there any point in extracting attributes and such if they are not the max value?
you said though that:
Haz pro also doesn't affect skill proxies. So even if you're Disrupt immune, your skills aren't.
but you also said:
Disrupt immunity will prevent any of your skill from being jammed, hence it doesn't matter what skill it is, you'll still be able to use it.
You have a better roll that you can use at any time. There's no drawback aside from destroying the item you extracted the attribute from. So it helps if you find and item that's much better.
This is in relation to deployable skills. Skills that you actually have to deploy to use like a turret or drone. Those skills will get jammed, and you may have to destroy them to redeploy them.
Skills such as the chem launcher, shield, and firefly are single-use and aren't affected the same way.
And therefore jamming and hacking doesn't really work on them.
If you shoot an oxidizer chem launcher, and you have Disrupt immunity, the Hunters can't exactly stop you from shooting another oxidizer cloud.
As an example.
ah
but if i did not have disrupt immunity, i would not be able to use my chem launcher (if they disrupt me), right?
Correct.
and even if i have 100% disrupt immunity, and i deploy a healer hive, then a Black Tusk throws an EMP at my hive, it would be disrupted, because my immunity does not apply to a "deployable" or a separate entity, right?
Correct.
There is an exception to the rule though.
And that's if you use the technician specialization.
The technician specialization gives your deployable skills the "Faraday Shielding" talent.
It makes them immune to Disrupt.
But it does not make them immune to hacking.
someone can pls help get the cayote's mask im not that strong for solo runs
Platform pc
ubi: sight-.-
can Hunters hack Decoys? i assume due to their nature, no
okay ty
They can't. They'll destroy them or disrupt them.
Can still fool them with it though, buys you some time for a solid couple of seconds.
Does somebody Crash the Game every day at first launch?
I don't think I've ever seen a Hunter hack one at the very least. And if they can, then it's sort of pointless. Most players won't fall for it, and I guess the worst case would be that it no longer fools all the other NPCs.
i was gonna be Survivalist for the 5% extra dmg for team mates, but when i get my full build i'll go Technician so i can Shield/Decoy to mess with Hunters
But that's a guess on my part.
Survivalist has its perks. It really depends on your approach. I don't remember the mechanics hunters have against shields though.
I don't remember if their axe can one hit your shield regardless of your shield tier or not. So probably still best to keep your distance somewhat.
is Countdown the only place to have them as a guaranteed enemy?
when i played during 2019 they were only available as the "puzzle" pre-level 30, and once you did all 12 you couldn't fight them again (unless you joined a friend's world)
Countdown and Summit at floor 100.
Plus some other missions.
Schaeffer, Recruiter, and Kelso manhunts have a single encounter with a single Hunter.
For 100 its same thing as 90? Kill and reset
What do you mean exactly? Like... reset at floor 90?
i'm sorry did you jus say Kelso Manhunt?
<.<
Not killing last few enemys and reset floor
Oof... not that far in yet? My bad. I won't say anymore.
lol ><
Yeah, but like... what for?
I mean... if you want to just fight a bunch of Hunters over and over and over again... then I guess. But most people run Summit for loot and stuff.
Unless they changed the way loot drops worked and I'm not aware.
What Worth more?
You need to exit to lobby to reset the drops, you cant just reset the floor
So its extra time you loose
(If you just reset the floor there is no drops at all)
So... you fight the Hunters. Leave one alive. Pick up loot. Then go back to the lobby?
Am I understanding that right?
I guess that's fair.
Well, I guess in that case you can keep fighting Hunters in Floor 100 and call it a day whenever you want.
can i pick which main Category for my Watch to upgrade each time? or is pre-determined like most "prestige" levels like in Borderlands and Diablo 3
No. It's predetermined. It goes in a rotation from Red > Blue > Yellow > Green > Scavenging > Repeat.
At least I think that's the rotation order.
But yeah, that's the concept.
You can still pick whichever of the subcategories you want though. So it's not all bad. Most people will focus on Critical Hit Chance in Red and Total Armor in Blue, or Hazard Protection.
I don't know the go to for Yellow or Green though. I assume for Yellow people go for Skill Damage, and for Green it's Reload Speed or Stability.
So what do ppl usually play as end-game content?
There's Legendary difficulty strongholds, Dark Hours and Iron Horse Raids, the Paradise Lost Incursion, and just messing around with different builds. You also have Summit which is the hardest content in the game when you set it to Legendary with all Directives enabled. That's a real test of skill.
dmz any good loot or is that just for fun?
i think the Dark Zone has a piece of exclusive knee pads ppl want?
Dark Zone has exclusive gear that can only be found there, yes.
That's good
The System Chorruption Gear Set and Yaahl Brand Set can only be found in the DZ. There's also several named items like The Hollow Man mask, The Virginian rifle, etc.
Corruption set is good? I have 2 parts
Few years ago it was kind crap, just bullet sponge high level players, Is that still the case or is it more balanced?
It's ok. Nothing impressive.
I couldn't say. I don't do PvP and I rarely enter the DZ. You might want to ask someone that knows.
There's also Conflict, which is PvP but normalized. So everyone supposedly starts on a level playing field. The DZ also has split brackets, and I don't think anyone with 1K SHD can enter servers with people who don't have 1K SHD.
It's just split between 0-30 and 40 I believe
Could be. I'm not sure.
I saw someone mention it recently so I assumed that got changed.
And by recently, I mean like... a couple of days ago.
Is there a site anyone could recommend for end-game builds?
If you check the pins in #td2-build-advice there's a spreadsheet that you can check out.
Plenty of builds in there made by experienced veterans.
Thanks
damn, im trying so hard to get dz exclusive, but i always face rogues that destroy me so fast
i really cant get anything
Sounds familiar π
Try farming Named Caches through Countdown.
It's the best way to get DZ exclusives without doing PvP.
It's really your only option if you don't want to deal with rogues. There's ways to get into empty DZ servers, but it's annoying to set up. And I don't remember the method.
just so i understand the Targeted Loot system correctly....if i want Scorpio, a shotgun, then right now i would run Air & Space Mueseum or Capitol and pray to RNGesus?
You got three options to farm DZ named items while losing your sanity.
1: DZ: loss of sanity: high
2: countdown: loss of sanity: pretty high
3: descent: loss of sanity: not so high like DZ or CT, but you get the blueprints.
I got the sense no-one likes descent
Or play Countdown with Targeted Loot set to Shotguns, yes. As long as the Targeted Loot is Shotguns, you can farm any content.
Why shotgun?
i can change the Targeted Loot in Countdown?
Descent is hit or miss for people. I know a lot of people don't really like the amount of RNG in it. Especially the Talent Pool Rotation.
Yes. You can se it to whatever you want at any time. Even while you're currently in a match.
Because he wants to get Scorpio.
Yup, and you can even convince the other players to change their target loot to help you
