[ebon ermine]

PS servers are back up? How long were they down for?

[cold narwhal]

They’ve been back up since Saturday

Down for about a day maybe?

[dreamy plaza]

As for the shd watch pts, what's the best toption to get? SHD calibrations or field recon data?

[cold narwhal]

Depends what you need

[stark heron]

A single crossbow shot on the final boss skips the whole immune damage phase

[cold narwhal]

Is that a bug or

[remote pecan]

hoarder can drop it too afaik

[stark heron]

No clue

[turbid cloak]

the dude with the christmas hat?

[stark heron]

I'd like to think there's some intention behind it

[ebon ermine]

bug or oversight... definitely unintentional

[lime moss]

meanwhile i did 12 runs with randoms and i cant pass the first phase of the mission, i guess this is will be the first time i wont complete something new 🤣

[remote pecan]

usually he doesn't have a christmas hat, but yes this guy

[stark heron]

Randoms not realising theres infinitely spawning enemies

[lime moss]

yep, even trying to support them as a healer, they dont care and run around as chickens

[cold narwhal]

Maybe do it with not random

[stark heron]

Also good luck with either of the tv code sections

Apparently getting the code wrong there fails the objective

[lime moss]

kinda hard when entire clan and friends quited the game ages ago ;S

[ebon steeple]

Did the devs mention if we can get the exotic chest outside the mastery mission I don't wanna do it

[stark heron]

Its exclusive to mastery I'd assume

[cold narwhal]

Probably in a season or two they’ll add it to a loot pool

[ebon ermine]

Yeah... like countdown... focus on objectives, because infinite spawning NPCs... lol the more DOOM players you have in your group, the more likely you're all going to die

[cold narwhal]

So you can wait ig

[spare cove]

You can farm it on other difficulties, but it's a guaranteed reward for first Mastery completion

[remote pecan]

didn't have that happen and I ran twice today in matchmaking

[stark heron]

What doesn't help is the content creators pushing the 6 red core dps meta

People need to cave and make a proper foundry tank build man

[cold narwhal]

I just have a pfe build and I’m basically invincible. Although I ain’t doing a ton of damage

[stark heron]

Suppose theres always gonna be an imbalance with games in this genre, more dps people than healers or tanks

[turbid cloak]

what do you think the best talent is for it. ive seen alot of people putting flatline, the one that pulses enemies

[stark heron]

I kept my tank build on entirely for my challenging run of the climax mission, boss didn't want to die

[cold narwhal]

People like the lazy spray and pray. I’m sure like 90% of striker builds out there don’t even build stacks

[stark heron]

Opportunistic and scorpio struggling xd

[remote pecan]

it's an AK so I don't know why people even bother to play it xD

[ebon ermine]

Yeah, this one benefits from both... the guy who has to sit on the charging zones gets skewered from all directions

[stark heron]

Its a skewerfest regardless of difficulty

The enemy density is insane

[cold narwhal]

Mmm kebab

[kind veldt]

Tgey are not infinite

Found out the hard way

[stark heron]

Well its not gonna be truly infinite

They don't want an anderson manhunt scenario again

[kind veldt]

Yeah

[remote pecan]

just use a 80% pfe build with perfectly efficient, stand in the middle and take armor kits all the time 🤣

[stark heron]

80% pfe???

[kind veldt]

Took the long way on the mission

[stark heron]

Oh right I forgot improvised gear with 2 mod slots

Or well, mod slots on gloves holsters etc

[remote pecan]

yea also survivalist give you pfe

[stark heron]

Thats true

[cold narwhal]

I’m at 80% with perfect overwhelm & perfect adrenaline for damage

[stark heron]

Honestly this mission made me remember how much I hate hyena shield units

[stark heron]

Overwhelm??

[cold narwhal]

Uhh

The tiger one

[stark heron]

Intimidate?

[cold narwhal]

Yeah that

[stark heron]

Honestly I was using the bog standard foundry tank build in the build spreadsheet

Actually gave a use for my tardigrade chest ig

[cold narwhal]

I’ve never used tardigrade

[stark heron]

I've used it in countdown

[cold narwhal]

I wanted to make something using it for the expertise Xp event but I didn’t get around to it

[stark heron]

Cause pointman people aren't guarenteed

[kind veldt]

Its one of those very useful pieces that doesnt get used for not being selfish enough

[stark heron]

Can't go wrong with a team wide unbreakable

Gives time for an armor kit or just more sustain fire

[cold narwhal]

I want to say some people I play with use it on iron horse but not sure

[stark heron]

Maybe I'll have to consider a variant of this tank build with intimidate and adrenaline rush

Better for solo play for sure

[cold narwhal]

Is good. I have fast armor regen too

[stark heron]

I mean thats just foundry doing wonders

[kind veldt]

iron horse is the only place you hear people discuss good support/tank builds

[stark heron]

Man I hate myself, shd 1490 and I still don't have a ceska chestplate

[cold narwhal]

Can do any mission solo. Just have to keep an eye out for some sneaky red sniping you or coming up behind you

[elfin hazel]

6588 no ceska chest 🫡

[stark heron]

I'd question why its not done in incursions but then again its always the FI healers carrying the dps units

[stark heron]

Fair

[cold narwhal]

But pfe is perfect for this mission because it’s almost 100% elites

[stark heron]

Its just one of those pieces I've never seen drop

[stark heron]

Isnt master difficulty 100% elite units

[torn juniper]

need help with mission pentco fairview power plant general anderson pls

[cold narwhal]

I had a purple or two

[kind veldt]

less people and less mechanics to split up

[stark heron]

Use the pc lfg channel

[cold narwhal]

What ceska chest is so hard to get?

[stark heron]

Ceska chestplate in general

[cold narwhal]

Huh

I have some I’m pretty sure

[stark heron]

Ive maybe seen only one or 2 of em drop in a TL scenario, with awful rolls

[torn juniper]

no ones there and no answwer thats why im asking here

[kind veldt]

just have to wait then, not polite to do go around in other channels

[stark heron]

Well mods will say the same thing, and nobodys gonna respond here lol

[dreamy plaza]

Dude same here... 🥲 I've been trying to find a ceska/sombra/sokolov or even providence chest w/ obliterate for soo freaking long

[remote pecan]

how? at most 3 countdown runs
if you have a party probably 1

[dreamy plaza]

Another question that I have that's really confusing me is Supplies availability at CPs; when the control pt is still occupied it always says 4 supplies available but as soon as I clear it it suddebnly goes dowbn to only 11 supply available. Why is that?

[primal skiff]

heyi i finished the hunt but i am still 1 recording short?

[dreamy plaza]

Unfortunately I don't have a team🥲

[primal skiff]

also was that it? no extra lore? nothing?

[kind veldt]

just matchmake, countdown is pretty much made to play with randoms

[molten spire]

the game considers all friendly control points to be alert level 1, it doesn't affect the quality of loot dropped as it was already spawned when it was captured

[remote pecan]

you can ask in chat, some people help and will drop it for you

[molten spire]

unless you log out

[dreamy plaza]

Yeah, true

[wise basalt]

which missions now have master? Is it just theo rn?

[unreal perch]

yes

[dreamy plaza]

That's a good idea, will def ask nicely if someone would drop it if happens that they don't need it:)

As for CD is a Striker build okay for the game mode? i feel it might be a little too squishy... I might try to get some more striker pieces where I can modify the core attribute to a blue one

[pseudo lark]

damn that mission was kinda ezpz as 4man

[dreamy plaza]

man smth that I also dont understand, is what happened to blueprints dropping in checkpoint crates. Not oo long ago there always used to be another blueprint in the crates but not anymore and I have no clue why

[molten spire]

all red, you need all the damage especially at the end

[dreamy plaza]

Oh and concerning trinkets, is it worht it keeping them or should I just sell tem?

[molten spire]

you simply exhausted the pool of crafting blueprints that can drop from them

[molten spire]

sell

[dreamy plaza]

Ahhh okay!

[primal skiff]

hello anyone know where can i get manhunt last audio?

[molten spire]

play the climax mission again

[dreamy plaza]

But I do still get Bps for clearing checkpoints but I'm assuming that that's something different then, is that right?

[primal skiff]

ok so unlike keener mission there is no extra cutseen or anything?

[proud shell]

Yoo hey people, how do I fix a visual chest piece glitch overplaced? I can't remove a white chest piece from my outfits its stuck on all my outfits

[stark heron]

This game with rng drops lmao

Was after a good belstone chest, end up getting palisade

AOK for a tank build is definitely nice

[stark heron]

Apparel

[unborn vigil]

How can i get more Batlle pass exp? Or how much do i need to hit 100 from 69

[stark heron]

Apparel cache custom backpack, kneepad, glove and chestplate pieces are in apparel now

[molten spire]

31 levels * 1000 Season XP or so per level = 31000 season XP needed

[stark heron]

Prio objectives always give seasonal xp

[molten spire]

if you left a bunch of scouts undone now is the best time to do so due to the 2x multiplier

[stark heron]

Journeys also give a lot if you are willing

[molten spire]

the 2x multiplier also makes the stronghold/mission priority objectives much better for time spent

[stark heron]

This season xp event I can't even do xd

I hit level 100 on the launch of this season cause of the level bug

Least its just a seasonal cache

[molten spire]

I "finished" it with two Manhunt scouts and the SHD requisition project

[stark heron]

Prio objective with a season xp reward boosted me like 50 levels per

Then again I saw cases of the scout 1 objectives boosting

[molten spire]

it caps at 99999 season XP or so so going 0-100 in the space of a week is the only way to "complete it"

i would generally not recommend things that involve breaking out the potty

[elfin hazel]

I really hope this mission gets the anderson treatment where it gets nerfed but with 2 weeks left I really doubt it

[stark heron]

Didn't play anderson on launch, they nerfed the difficulty?

(Or if you're on about enemy spawning, its not actually infinite)

[molten spire]

sort of

[elfin hazel]

they toned down the spawns IIRC

I know the spawns arent infinite but they sure feel like it and I really don't think having most of the enemies be elites is a great idea

and quite honestly I think brushing away complaints with how overtuned this mission feels by saying build issue and stuff like that is really dumb!

I really don't imagine the average player having a PFE build

[toxic flume]

3 pfe mods is good enough tbh. With some blues

Also. I match made up with a clan. Joined their discord VC. We died couple time by the first hacking terminals in the beginning. After that we never wiped all the way through. Gotten close once or twice. But we clutched up and got it done.

[unborn vigil]

Hey how to complete one of the scout task in judicary square where i need to destroy 15 enemy tech? Is there any way to do it faster than praying i will get the rc enemy?

[toxic flume]

Destroy NPCs skills

Like turrets, drones and ect… that are deployable

[kind veldt]

did with randoms

was a couple of tries until found a good group and groove

a lot of doing new missions is learning positioning regarding spawns

[fathom willow]

i dont think this climax is very fun solo

[kind veldt]

oddly enough the hardest part at the start

[kind veldt]

regular or master?

[elfin hazel]

my non moderator as a player take is that it just feels bad and unhelpful being told that and my moderator take is that the feeling of being unhelpful really doesnt help newer/more casual players and doesn't make them inclined to talk as much here

[dreamy plaza]

Hey gusy, what are the best dark zone perks?

*guys

[fathom willow]

im doing it on heroic rn with with a duo and i think these spawns are not okay

especially on the terminals

[lone lake]

How do I get the last Theo Collectible, I did all scouts and the Mission but only have 19/20

[elfin hazel]

redo the manhunt mission again

[lone lake]

Ah ok, thanks

[elfin hazel]

dingo drops it

[elfin hazel]

respectfully love u turbonerds in here who are super active td2-build-advice would be dead without you but the casual/average players are not gonna be anywhere near the skill level or understanding of the game as you I really doubt most people still have yet to even considered touching legendary/raid/incursion so this is mission is gonna be rough for a lot of people

[kind veldt]

casually it's not worse than recruiter one

but that was mostly about the last encounter being awful

[elfin hazel]

I think it is because at least with all the other manhunts that are rough like recruiter it didn't feel as rough the whole way through

[scarlet musk]

Is there no blueprint for the ACS12 ?

[elfin hazel]

like recruiter & keener gimmicks are annoying as hell but quick enough to learn with keeners annoying point coming down more to drones being overtuned everywhere in the game here its just rough the whole way through due to annoying spawn points & basically all elites only to be met with a bullet sponge that can regen

[kind veldt]

would say it's just harder at first because notebooks are in awkward positions close to door spawns

[low lily]

Nope

[kind veldt]

it gets easier when you reach the rooftop i think

[low lily]

If you have one determined sniper in, the ads just go down so fast

[elfin hazel]

100% the roof is the easiest part of the mission imo but I think having several terminals with basically no cover some with spawns right next to them has to be one of the worst design choices I've seen in this game so far if not the worst

mainly the second last terminal because thats the most atrocious of the bunch but the 3rd last is also pretty bad since they can spawn behind you

[halcyon dome]

hello, i think I encountered a bug where no matter what activity or mission I do, I don't earn in game money. Any thoughts?

[stark heron]

RC enemy is ideal, on something like the burnt down control point, just waiting for the endless supply of rc bombs

[halcyon dome]

I play on pc by the way.

[stark heron]

Terminal being literally 2 feet from a door is evil

[elfin hazel]

genuinely the worst thing I've seen in this game

[stark heron]

Yep

[umbral lava]

dua on hard/chall. keep the rc/engineer alive in the first part n farm the tech takes a few mins

[stark heron]

DUA just barely in the zone, might work

[umbral lava]

worked fine for me but what u said also is solid

[elfin verge]

That's just the normal game. Bounties give you credits but otherwise you need to sell to vendors or use SHD scav points

[ebon steeple]

Did they just randomly drop a week of 5x XP?

[halcyon dome]

@elfin verge can you tell me what is an shd scav point please?

[elfin verge]

When you reach level 40 you get Keener's watch which gives you points to add your stats; you can also invest points in resources, such as credits, ceramics, electronics etc.

You gain 1 point each time you level up

[halcyon dome]

@elfin verge aahh I know these points lol. sorry. I used to play the game a lot on xbox and I never remember having money problems but now that I started playing again on pc I am constantly out of money.

@elfin verge thank you btw

[elfin verge]

No probs. I've been out of credits for basically the life of the game xD

[ebon ermine]

Just acquired the Provocator... going to strip down nekked, throw it on, dance around the helipad, and make everyone jealous, for the vest, too. 🤣

[stark heron]

Its obtainable on every difficulty

Just that its guarenteed from the first master completion

[ebon ermine]

Do you know if that's per character or per account?

[stark heron]

No idea

Better hope its per character

[kind veldt]

#division-tweets message

Well more XP

[ebon ermine]

Exactly

[primal skiff]

Yesss finally got striga and dang its good

Especially with ND

[spare cove]

It's a fun weapon, I'll say that much

[earnest folio]

BTW, it's worth looking at the pinned messages in this channel, it seems there is already irrelevant information there.

[vivid wigeon]

guys, anyone knows that the vindicator is in the general loot pool, so farmable anywhere?

[plucky snow]

New player here im trynna make a clan but only have 2 ppl

Anybody want to join

Or have an active clan i can join?

[lunar orbit]

Dm

[kind veldt]

Descent shop only

[elfin verge]

I finally got Vindicator yesterday to see if it's as bad as people say and well yeah they were right

[vivid wigeon]

can't find in the shop...

[low lily]

🤣

[stark heron]

Its 100% just in wallys nsa descent shop

[kind veldt]

Check on wally in castle settlement

Should have been more specific as theres a shop to buy descent bonus

[torpid tendon]

I have a question, is the backpack part of the descent jumpsuit?

[kind veldt]

Thats just a crate

[vivid wigeon]

I found it, ty

[vivid wigeon]

Yep, thx

[umbral topaz]

I want to share my thoughts, but I understand that some may take offence, and that is not my intention. I have been with this game since day one, playing both Division 1 and Division 2, accumulating a total of 10,000 hours of gameplay.

After waiting for sixteen weeks for the final mission, I was disappointed to find that it was simply a rehash of an existing mission that we all know well. To say I am disappointed is an understatement; I expected something much better than the final mission.

Some players find it too hard for two people to complete the mission with Heroic difficulty. I disagree. A fellow player and I managed to finish the entire mission just the two of us. Although we did not receive the Exotic item, we found the Heroic manageable. Additionally, people have complained that the cables and computers part of the mission is hard to complete, but we encountered no issues and breezed through that segment, even though I went down just twice throughout the mission. Several players have reported that completing the mission on Heroic difficulty is excessively challenging; for two players, it is not.

Overall, the mission was a. I do not usually voice such harsh criticism about a game, but it feels like this could have been better. The developers seem to have taken the easy route by giving us a familiar mission. While I understand their intention to keep it recognisable, it feels like they could have put in more effort to make it truly memorable. I will give you a tip. when you get to the boss leave one ad alive as long as it isn't a healer.

[low lily]

Did you do master difficulty tho?

[unreal perch]

well the other manhunt mission are the same u know. Just some rework of existing with a few change

[kind veldt]

I would say that the recruiter mission was more similar visually

[spare cove]

Let's be fair, every Manhunt finale mission was reused from previous missions while adding some different props in the environment

[sterile cedar]

Note that you can’t reroll Vindicator so make sure to buy a DTTOOC one

[kind veldt]

Well yeah, but i cant remember anything about invaded faye compared to capitain lewis or hornet

[umbral topaz]

Not yet we wanted to see what Heroic was like first.

[real creek]

Pretty sure you can't do master until you've finished it once.

[stark heron]

Expecting them to make a brand new mission each season is insane

Ofc they are just gonna alter missions that exist

[umbral topaz]

I wouldn't have through so.

[stark heron]

(MSV team focusing on TD2 is very small still iirc)

[umbral topaz]

Agreed but the impression that we got from the reveal was it was going to be in a new area that is what was put across on the reveal and that is what was speculated on the video they showed. Agreed speculative isn't set in stone.

[kind veldt]

i wouldnt expect any new area or zones until DLC releases

[runic rose]

Master just adding little difficulty to the mechanics (but I was able to finnish master with matchmaking team first try so nothing extra difficult). I would say that I enjoyed some of the previous manhunt missions more than this.

[azure turret]

Is the mission bugged or something

I overload his armor and he’s still self healing

[real creek]

Backpack needs breaking.

[azure turret]

It’s weirdly invincible

[slate fractal]

Status effects in the master difficulty manhunt mission came in clutch!

Vondooms first sight in cover build also came in clutch nice dps while in cover

[stark heron]

Master requires 2 overcharges, regardless the backpack needs breaking

Hes just, VERY tanky

Even on challenging it took me a solid while

[azure turret]

Likewise

Had to call in backup for it too

[azure lintel]

I'm at the last bit of the manning national zoo on legendary and it saved, if i log off can i come back to it later?

like will it put me back at the savepoint when i log back in

[remote pecan]

probably bugged that can happen

you can skip the immune phase with a crossbow shot tho

[real creek]

No, that is just a checkpoint in the mission.

It's not a save point.

[azure turret]

No, there’s no save points in missions, only checkpoints

[azure lintel]

oh ok word, ty both

i've legit been playing this mission all day

my teammates have been awful

[small spear]

it's the hardest leg so yeah

[viral schooner]

so my lexington is gone even tho i had it favorited and in a saved build, is there a way to get a new one?

[elfin verge]

Nope

[viral schooner]

wow R.I.P

[ivory tulip]

Just a quick question, for scout 7 activity 1 I have to apply status effects to enemies, I’ve tried this with both the Pestilence and Scorpio but both stopped working at some point. Any way to fix this?

[elfin verge]

Use a skill such as fire chem launcher. Pesti doesn't count as a status

[stark heron]

Tidal Basin would like a word

[ivory tulip]

Ah ok, I must’ve hit a gas canister or something then, appreciate the help

[stark heron]

Log out quick enough and it doesn't count as a death

[azure turret]

It was a while, it took me and my friends like three whole hours to do first time around

[stark heron]

Got an ongoing directive build? Or the Exotic LMG that can apply burn after shooting for long enough?

[ivory tulip]

Nope, apparently it’s just due to the fact that they both don’t actually count

[stark heron]

Ongoing directive is the whole, kill an enemy with a status effect on them for a mag of bleed

[ivory tulip]

I’ve already equipped the chem launcher I’m just gonna run around and shoot that at people lol

[stark heron]

Suppose the specialised stuff here is pseudo incursion mechanics, and survivalist cheese on the final boss

Right thats true

Its zone based

[iron gust]

Did anyone get all the season comms? I'm at 19/20 and the mission on non master difficulty is not dropping any more comms

[elfin verge]

I ran twice and got all the comms. It might be a random drop I guess

[twilit sage]

any1 see what the plushi duck do?

plushy*

[proud shell]

So whats the provocator talent?

[twilit sage]

“receive +25% damage resistance from enemies within 20m”

[stark heron]

resistence

[small spear]

no, resistance is correct

not that the game is correct, but like the word should be resistance

[stark heron]

Ik lol was just pointing out the ingame typo

[small spear]

yeah no i know

[lyric crescent]

I completed the manhunt mission. And bro, I’m not going to lie, I felt like punching a hole in my TV after dying multiple times.

[brittle folio]

In a four stack and we can't seem to kill Bichon

[vivid wigeon]

Really? Man, so the shop gonna reroll the stuff right? But how often?

[brittle folio]

Is there something we're missing?

[sterile cedar]

I think it changes every day but don’t quote me on that. If you have multiple characters they each will have a different roll in the store

[vivid wigeon]

Right, ok ty. I hope not just once a week... would be sucks... XD

[brittle folio]

Hello? Anyone?

[kind veldt]

do the mission overload objective then break his backpack

lots of people saying that crossbow make it stupid easy

[brittle folio]

Mission overload objective?

[cinder nacelle]

So, is the new mission just hard-hard or is it mechanics and stuff like incursion?

[lyric crescent]

If I may add, to everyone else that hasn’t done the manhunt mission yet, unless you have a good powerful build, don’t do it solo.

Trust me, you won’t have a good time.

[azure lintel]

any moderators online?

[proud shell]

For PVP is the same?

[kind veldt]

regular mission is just do objectives, master difficulty adds extra mechanics that can wipe and fail

[kind veldt]

overload his armor by using the things around the arena

just follow the giant yellow cables to the monitors

[twilit sage]

i’m not sure didn’t try it out yet

[kind veldt]

for PVP it has less range and resistance

[flat mulch]

Hey yall! I finally tried to matchmake into Countdown yesterday, but couldn't get a group? Is that because I'm a filthy little casual trying to MM in Normal while everyone else is in higher difficulties?

[azure lintel]

moderators check my ticket

[kind veldt]

90% of people play on challenging, normal will just give you bad gear

challenging is not hard because you have a large group that just ends up melting any NPC that gets close, so just stick to biggest group

[flat mulch]

OK, I'll give that whirl. Thanks!

Really appreciate the help!

[azure lintel]

birdshot got my text?

[kind veldt]

yes i saw

[sour void]

What are the chances of getting the exotic on Normal?

[kind veldt]

nobody knows at the moment i think

[azure lintel]

waiting reply

[azure lintel]

can you come to dm?

for few secs

[kind veldt]

i will reply in the modmail

[sour void]

Welp, couldn't be worse than my time trying to get Bullet King...

[azure lintel]

ok

[sour void]

Time to put my Ongoing Directive and Strega to the test

[kind veldt]

mastery mode so far has been similar to a legendary run i would say

[cinder nacelle]

Oh the valves again.

[kind veldt]

with the misison being harder on the first half than second half

[azure lintel]

ok i sended to modmail

[cinder nacelle]

Okay cool. 👍

[azure lintel]

so birdshot just wait answers from you only? or others admins?

[kind veldt]

chill for a moment, i've read the message

[azure lintel]

okay i try calm

[exotic goblet]

What's the combo sequence in the water room on master after doing the initial 3 valves? We just failed

[eager void]

How does one obtain the high end Lexington, I’ve seen it’s exclusive through the veteran rewards thing but I asked a guy in session and he said he got through clearing control points, am I being trolled?

[kind veldt]

it was a log in reward that expired

currently cant get it

[eager void]

Yeah I had a feeling that was the case, much obliged

[unborn vigil]

Is there a exotic that drops in the manhunt?

[kind veldt]

Yeah, new chestpiece

Random from completing manhunt, guarantee the first time you complete it on master

[brittle folio]

Alright got Mastery unlocked. Anyone wanna try it with me?

That Bichon guy was... oof

[tender quartz]

is the only reward for completing manhunt this exotic chest?

[blissful sable]

There is also the satisfaction of completion and all the memories you made along the way

[brittle folio]

Afaik

[cinder nacelle]

An exotic for a manhunt reward is pretty great compared to what we have been getting lately.

[brittle folio]

Took four of us 45 minutes to beat that last guy. On Challenging.

Brutal just brutal

I was on full DPS and it was just barely eating away at him.

[blissful sable]

You feel satisfied, right? You also had the comradery and happy memories, correct?

Think of the friends you made along the way.

[brittle folio]

No, because now I have to do it on Mastery just to get the exotic chest piece

[brittle folio]

You should get a job at Hallmark making cards

[blissful sable]

They won't hire me because I am "overqualified" 😦

[brittle folio]

I'm not surprised

[blissful sable]

What build were you using and what part of the mission did you find most engaging?

[brittle folio]

At first was running a max expertise 6 tier skill build, but it was ineffective. So I switched to a full DPS build. That did the trick

The part of the mission I found most engaging was fast traveling out of there after completion

[blissful sable]

Did you run Striker, Negotiators, Hexotic, Ongoing Directive, Crit/Head Hunter's Fury, Hotshot, Heartbreaker, or some other type of DPS build.

[blissful sable]

You clearly enjoyed the thrill and satisfaction of completion.

[lament cedar]

Does everything you have for each one of your loadout have to stay in your inventory all the time?

[blissful sable]

Only if you want it to be available to you outside of a safehouse or white house

[brittle folio]

You clearly mistake my disillusionment for thrill.

[tranquil flower]

Did they add a new exotic today?

[brittle folio]

For everyone except PlayStation

I'm joking. Yes, they did

[tranquil flower]

I know lol

[blissful sable]

Yes, the guaranteed prize for completing the Manhunt Mission on the new Mastery Difficulty is the Provacator Chest piece

Not unless they released another set of patch notes

I don't recall a new nerf to striker in the recent PTS patch notes.

The Lexington is supposed to take a tiny nerf, but nothing too devestating.

Unless there is another set of patch notes or pts patch notes. We know nothing at the moment.

It did take a slight nerf at the beginning of this season. I think it was unwarranted. People here were jumping for joy.

If anything has well deserved a nerf, it would be the most popular backpack talent since March 2020 that no one wants to mention because it would wreck most of their builds if it ever took a nerf...

[twilit trench]

Is there any new interaction with Theo once you complete the climax mission? I just... kind of got back to the open world without much consequences

[kind veldt]

nope

people assume it's because it was meant to hook into the DLC

[twilit trench]

Thanks for confirming!

[trim garnet]

is the lexington still unattainable for the people who didn't get to sign in during the free giveaway window?

[unborn vigil]

So when i completed the Climax mission on normal the first time, will i still get the Provocator exotic if i do it again on Heroic?

[tender wave]

it's only guaranteed on Master difficulty

but you've got greater chance on Heroic than Normal of it dropping (prob still quite small though)

[inner elbow]

3/5/7/9 like the other exotics

Don't know the drop chance for Master though

[twilit trench]

Just finished the manhunt and wanted to share my overall feedback about this season:

• the new riddle-solving mechanics are a nice touch, but I don't see myself completing all 48 of them each season.
• I got very confused about the new modifiers and Journey systems at first, once I figured them out I found they weren't for me. Priority objectives seem like a nice addition though!
• for once, I found the climax mission too easy (solo, SHD 800, play on Challenging), like a Hard-level Bounty, and not rewarding the time invested in the season lore-wise. Having experienced how punishing raids/incursions/legendaries are for solo players, I won't try Master difficulty.
  Overall... I might skip next season just like I skipped re-runs on Year 3, and I'm really hoping the upcoming DLC will change things up.

[urban cloak]

Hello all - returning player after numerous years.

Where’s the best place to find the newest build guides other than YT?

[inner elbow]

YouTube is not a good place to find builds

Check out the pinned posts in #td2-build-advice

[hybrid gust]

ofc a freaking tsunami god roll up when I just upgrade my tsunami yesterday

[urban cloak]

Thanks I’ll give it a look

[wild moat]

How do you unlock bounty’s

I’m on scout page 2 …

[frank cloak]

same stuck on 19/20 have ran 7 more times and still no comm

[tender wave]

completing a public execution (saving BOTH hostages) or hostage rescue open world activity will reward you a bounty in the same area, except for heroic difficulty true sons ones

assuming you've progressed the base game story mode far enough to recruit the bounty person, anyway

[wild moat]

Oh thanks Kettle

But where do I recruit a bounty person

[torpid plume]

What is a good build for the new exotic chest piece?

[cold narwhal]

I was kinda annoyed there’s nothing to do with him or keener afterwards. Keener just stands around saying nothing as usual and Theo is nowhere to be seen

[frank cloak]

theo's still on the helicopter 😆

[cold narwhal]

Perhaps the uh builds channel could help

[flat mulch]

I’m coming back to the game after a two or three year break, is it weird that I’m nervous to play the new game mode that came out?

[cold narwhal]

What mode

[frank cloak]

its absolutely fine, just inbetween heroic and legendary

[flat mulch]

Countdown and Descent.

[cold narwhal]

Oh

They both have their appeal. After you learn them, CD mostly for loot farming, and descent mostly for blueprints and unique comms

[brisk stump]

master mission isn't fun.

[tender wave]

just follow the story, do missions as they unlock, and talk to anyone around the settlements (theatre, campus) that it points you at

[dreamy plaza]

Do some vendors sell more for trinkets than others? I've finally figured that there is absolutely no reason in keeping them...

Also additionally, how can I craft exotic item when it days that this item has already been crafted?

Oh and thirdly, what would be a solid PvP/DZ build to use?

[grand dove]

Delta 3 as I was finally having a good master run. Game literally won't let me back in. At this point I'm wondering if there is a more incompetent dev team

[proud locust]

These Cabal bastards are messing around with us

[unique bramble]

Nah, some Black tusk janitor probably stepped on a server cable.

[tender quartz]

there is kinda a weird reason to keep them, you can trade them for some garbage tier components if you find civilians scavenging out in the wild. Bit of a throw back to the Div 1 mechanic except worse.

[proud locust]

Too bad, I put a bullet on the janitor before he can make a move of restoring the council

The guy went an F bomb before dead

[rare whale]

im lowk new can someone help me out

[kind veldt]

well if you are looking for people to play with there's there's the #lfg-pc for other questions or general talk either here or #ask-td2-community are useful

[crude root]

Does anybody has an active crew on divison 2 ? Im still learning the ropes

[kind veldt]

#lfg-playstation and possibly #td2-clan-recruitment

[tiny viper]

Anyone know if servers down? getting mike 01 error

[grand blade]

EU servers are up and running

[tiny viper]

Any possible fix for this error? I already restarted router, install game fresh, verifying files rn

Im kinda so lost what to do more

[grand blade]

Not sure. These errors seem to happen now and again. No idea why it only happens to some. Is your Ubisoft Connect up to date?

[tiny viper]

Yea i think so, anyway to update it beside downloadin again?

[grand blade]

Also not sure

Have you by chance tried to completely restart Ubi Connect?

[tiny viper]

alr restarted computer 2 @grand blade

[grand blade]

I'm afraid I am not very familiar with this type of troubleshooting. Hopefully somebody else will be able to give you a solution.

[hybrid gust]

is there a way to tell the length between you and target or toward pt, some buff and spread have limit range and I'm not sue how much is 3, 5, 10, 15 m in this game

[grand blade]

Some scopes and weapon talents do. But don't believe there is any other way, sadly.

[ebon steeple]

Do u have to have seasonal modifiers on to play the climax mission

[kind veldt]

dont think so

at least i dont remember seeing any of the modifiers when i played it

[quick coyote]

I was getting something similar a little earlier (connecting to server stuck at 0). Restarting the pc seems to have fixed it.

[quick coyote]

no, but they'll probably help for dps

[ebon steeple]

Not when boss gets clam modifier

[elfin verge]

If you have a weapon with the Ranger talent, the small floating box next to the weapon's barrel will show the distance in metres from your target

[thorny lantern]

Dose anyone have a duplicate of the at Elmo or compactor

Shoot dang

I just need it for a build

[azure lintel]

I legit have been trying to beat the manning zoo on legendary for like 8+ hours today. This is so miserable

Enemies are lagging out the wazoo which doesn't help

real

[thorny lantern]

Can anyone help me get the st Elmo or compactor

Yea sorry

[sterile cedar]

Capacitor is easy. 5 Summit challenges

[thorny lantern]

I just need those exotic weapons and I will be set with my builds

How about the St Elmo

[kind veldt]

just grind AR targeted loot drops

summit, countdown or whatever is on the open world

rest is RNG

[thorny lantern]

You all are kool and chill we should all squad up some time

[steep breach]

New exotic chest is a waste of time

[thorny lantern]

Huh

[undone timber]

It's a neat piece

Exotics are way cooler when they're unique compared to use or lose stat stick type shit like ouro

[sterile cedar]

shadow pushes random switch. oops

[rain hedge]

whats the new exotic?

[spare crest]

Did 5x xp start today already?

[tiny viper]

Done it multiple times and doesnt work

[celest fossil]

hello does anyone know how I can get in contact with someone concerning missing content sent in my case today and no one has helped me once?

[grand blade]

Hmm... I have to admit, I am rather underwhelmed by the final mission of the manhunt. It was okay fun, but the reward doesn't really reflect the effort 🤷🏽‍♂️

[grand blade]

Yes. Season XP

[kind veldt]

#rules has links to support pages at the top, i dont know how long support usually takes to answer cases to give a guess

[drifting mulch]

i kinda feel the same way. like all that grinding and then the last mission was a breeze in the park

[grand blade]

Not sure if would call it a breeze, lol. Boss only took damage when my Elmo was charged with shock rounds hahaha

But the reward was basically nothing...

[half fjord]

when they announced about the provocator chest the talent mention 35% damage reduction within 15m but the chest we got has 25% dmg reduction within 20m. They did a surprise 10% nerf on it without any info on it

[kind veldt]

it got changed

well also increased the range

i'll just assume someone in QA was able to do something like 90% DR which made some things trivial

[arctic forge]

Before I wanna suggested removing the exotic restrictions, what exotics combos could be way too overpowered?

[undone timber]

Provocator+ defender drone+ chill out+ aegis= stonks

[arctic forge]

say they put the exotic restrictions to be 2 gear or 2 weapons but no more then 3 on a build, what would be an op set up

[kind veldt]

memento + everything

also would make ninja bike possibly more valuable

you could get some dumb DPS builds using stuff like centurion holster and coyote

i'm sure people would go crazy for it

[arctic forge]

but you lose out a set bounes, and thats ninja bikes whole gimmick

[arctic forge]

but no more saint elmos ect

im only bringing this up cause man, i wouldnt mind trying to run an fi build with btsu gloves and the new exotic backpack, but you cant

and im stuck theory crafting rn, what would break if they allowed two exotics

before hand it was because exotic weapons had holster talents and there wasnt that many exotic gear, i dont think year 1 even had an exotic holster

but since wony, holster talents got gutted and removed, so why keep the restrictions?

[blissful sable]

I thought dodge city came out year 1

Or are you talking about weapon holster talents?

[arctic forge]

right

that one

[blissful sable]

I remember the Chatterbox having a ROF related holster talent in year one

The Merciless had an exploding bullet holster talent

That one was fun

Any weapon could get exploding bullets

[arctic forge]

yeah a small chance for 100% more damage

[blissful sable]

It worked great with demo if you killed an npc with it. It helped get you bonus specialization ammo

Some exotics are underpowered, no doubt about it. Still they can be quite powerful when built around.

Div 1 exotics were severely underpowered.

Hence why it it was okay then to have more than one.

[arctic forge]

i just want some more exotic gear

like btsu and the new reviver backpack doesnt sound too broken and thats why i wanna know if there would be some game breaking builds

[slate fractal]

Wanna play in heroic difficulty, legendary difficulty, master difficulty and have relevant dps? Status effects.

[jagged prism]

even without the valentine quest?

[blissful sable]

I think the reviver backpack only works on personal revives instead of reviver hive.

The btsu's work of course for the reviver hive. So there may not be much synergy.

[hearty patio]

the 5xp thing is just to help folks finish the season pass right?

[jagged prism]

think it was confirmed about the revive hive doesn't get the benefit of the backpack

[blissful sable]

I thought so

[sterile cedar]

You can repeat day 6 of the project each day until it expires so lots of First Sights available

[jagged prism]

oh nice

[slate fractal]

What rolls did you get?

[jagged prism]

yeah i remember you saying that on sunday or monday? i tried and got nothing

[sterile cedar]

Yes got a bunch from looty mcgoblin

[blissful sable]

The play with the reviver backpack might be a FI healer or other type of healer with the backpack using a healing seeker and healing chem or a tank healer with a healer set up differently. It means if you play healer or support, you aren't stuck running a hive all the time.

@arctic forge I have seen people run tanks to revive people. The backpack could be better suited for that.

Throw enough PFE and survivability, you could have a person who is just in fights to pick people up and never die.

Add a doctor home on them to tag npc's and you get an alchemist type character. RPG's where you heal with items and created items without using magic are interesting. This is a similar concept.

[thorny lantern]

Can anyone help me get the st Elmo pls

[arctic forge]

i mean it is a skill tier backpack

[blissful sable]

Yeah, and one of the best tank designs that I have seen runs a blue yellow hybrid. Blue/yellow shields are just as tough as full blue and allow other utility as well.

A 5 blue and 1 yellow tank can be quite helpful.

The one that I have seen runs survivalist with shield and reviver. With this backpack that can be used and the quick revives by hand can be helpful when the revive charges run out.

With HHF one shot builds so common, the extra teammates can feel useless. The dps are often running around so much that heals are pointless. So the second best option is to run around as the human reviver bot.

[kind veldt]

#lfg-playstation is that way

sometimes i wonder if the defender drone should scale out of blues as well

but i feel that would tilt scales a bit badly in PVP

[arctic forge]

also looking into it, it might be too op to use two exotics after looking into my stash, sucks my dreams of using birdies quick fix and btsu gloves are over

[blissful sable]

Lets not kid ourselves, PvP in this game is already a dumpster fire. Not much can fix it or break it anymore.

[arctic forge]

year 1 defender drone would like a word with you

year 1 defender drone was stupid op, 100% immunity in pve and 80% damage reduction in pvp

[kind veldt]

yeah but we are not in year 1

[arctic forge]

rose tinted glasses i still miss year 1

[kind veldt]

blue and yellow can work together

[sterile cedar]

3/11/7 builds 😎

Or whatever it was

[arctic forge]

hey i havent heard anything out of the ETF, is that still a thing?

[kind veldt]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[oblique finch]

Hello everyone, how do you unlock the hyena faction materials in the crafting bench?

[undone timber]

Expertised defender drone is still very powerful

[arctic forge]

i hope its still a thing, and not dead in the water

[oblique finch]

Hello everyone, could somebody tell mehow do you unlock the hyena faction materials in the crafting bench?

[blissful sable]

Farm blueprints from Challenging+ Control points or do projects that offer blueprints in your weekly projects screen

[kind veldt]

it's just a regular blueprint from control points, keep doing them and you will get them

[oblique finch]

Ok, thank you so much guys

[reef hound]

Hi everyone, How are you doing?can i ask a few infos? I am a new player

[inner elbow]

Yes

[gloomy wyvern]

Legendary or Master, which is harder?

[kind veldt]

Would say legendary, but it has been a while

[south topaz]

legendary zoo

[kind veldt]

Master hyenas are super buffed, but dont have new gimmicks

[gloomy wyvern]

Same. As soon as I got the Bighorn I stopped doing legendary

[sour void]

Legendary definitely towers over Master.

[gloomy wyvern]

That is what I figured, need a second opinion to be sure

[sour void]

The Hyenas I fought during a botched run weren't that much tougher than ones in a Heroic mission.

[gloomy wyvern]

the damage they deal is a lot higher though, and they are more agressive so that helps

[sour void]

Will probably shred Armor Core builds easily though - spec for damage and hope for the best.

[sour void]

In Strikers we trust

[gloomy wyvern]

I already did. Striker with 62% protection from elite

[sour void]

I see

Still running the finale on Challenging myself - don't have the right stuff for Master

I miss my pre nerf Scorpio

[gloomy wyvern]

at least the scorpio's reload speed is getting buffed in the next update

pre nerf scorpio was sweet though

[sour void]

That thing defined Eclipse Protocol and Vile. Burn someone with Incendiary Grenades, then perforate them with venom, and watch it propagate.

Speaking of updates, I wonder if we're ever gonna get more loadout slots.

Still have a few exotics and Gear Sets laying in my stash that I'd like to assemble for fun.

[limpid linden]

this new exotic chest goes hard af, no over the top design just bulky armor plates

love it

[low lily]

It looks great ye

[gloomy wyvern]

Did you get it from Master dif?

[low lily]

Master has a guaranteed drop first time ye

[gloomy wyvern]

Highly recommend Master Difficulty.

[woeful locust]

can i force somehow bounties into a specific zone ???

[tardy sedge]

Is it worth farming for the bighorn in legendary Summit ? Like will you eventually get it or is it a waste and rather doing legendary missions?

[hybrid ore]

@sweet topaz English only on the main server, thanks. You can use other languages to LFG in those channels.

@tardy sedge Since Bighorn can only drop from Named Enemies in Legendary Difficulty, you will eventually get it from either mode, but it can take quite a while.

[tardy sedge]

Okay cool

[sweet topaz]

@hybrid ore 🥲 ok

the raid turned out to be extremely unsuccessful. even the zoo is not so boring on legendary difficulty

[craggy ridge]

rpg hyena

[tardy sedge]

Okay thank you and what about Nemesis Rifle ? I know it’s the whole stronghold thing but I have to wait weeks for that . Can I farm it on countdown marksman targeted loot ?

Or do I need it first to get it added to my loot pool

[weak rock]

if you get the blueprint you can farm it in countdown

[tardy sedge]

That’s grand Washington on invades though too right?

[limpid linden]

ye

[hollow hill]

I would've did floor 90. There's 3 bosses and you'll get 3 chances

It's a more efficient farm that I've found on my experience due to the fact you don't get just 1 chance every time you kill the boss

[sage nest]

Will we get a blueprint for the provocator ?

[hollow hill]

Honestly unsure. Did division have an update yesterday? One you download i mean

[sage nest]

Don’t think so I’m on now

[hollow hill]

Sweet hell yeah. Gonna load up the steam deck, toss my hot spot on and get these last 2w of manhunts to finish. Apparently provocator drops on difficulties OTHER than Master so I'm gonna do some runs see if I get it to drop on normal 😂😂

Gonna test to see if that's true. Numerous reports are saying it is 🤷 if anybody can confirm please @ me or reply

[sage nest]

I did it on heroic got it first try good luck tho even that is nuts lol

[hollow hill]

Throw modifiers on and play long range with by the teeth modifier. Use striker with armor and you'll be set

[hollow hill]

Thank you for confirming it dropped on a different difficulty ✌️

Since it dropped on heroic and reports are saying it dropped on normal, looks like I'm playing normal 😂😂😂

[unborn ravine]

So now I have to farm the same mission over and over again until I get the new chest piece....? Why is not just the main reward..16 weeks and thats what we get..more farming..

[undone timber]

It's guaranteed from master difficulty

No farming needed

[unborn ravine]

Didn't get it lul.

[feral mural]

if you can do it on master, you only have to do it once

[undone timber]

Must've done it on heroic and not master or something

[unborn ravine]

DId it on master, didn't get it. Another chest piece that wont drop. Adding that with Ridgeways pride.

[feral mural]

then it must've glitched. That sucks

Ridgeways Pride is just tedious to get lmao

[undone timber]

Huh ridgeways is also guaranteed wdym

[unborn ravine]

I don't have it. Last piece won't drop.

I've already put in a ticket. Got no help.

[feral mural]

you have to get all 5 pieces for the drop to be guaranteed. The drop is guaranteed, the pieces sometimes aren't, which is weird

[undone timber]

Afaik they are you just need to get them from certain floors

[feral mural]

unfortunately the last piece I need drops at around floor 80 to 90 and I reset my summit when I was hunting bighorn

I am not slogging through 70 summit floors

[feral mural]

they are not, unfortunately

it's like a 60% chance for them to drop from the locked caches?

Plus you have to do another two or so projects to actually get the thing

[undone timber]

Still faster then getting regulus

[hybrid ore]

The crate spawns on a floor ending with 3, 6, or 9, as a quick rule.
The key can spawn anywhere within each floor range.

[feral mural]

true that 😆

[feral mural]

The key usually drops about 2 or 3 floors before the locked room, from my experience

Then there's a chance that it drops an exotic component

[hybrid ore]

It's entirely random where it spawns, as long as it's within those 3 floors.
A noise plays when you enter the same area that a key has spawned in.

It should be noted: keys don't stack.

[feral mural]

The worst part of the project is that you have to kill 2 hunters, but you can't do it in countdown, basically forcing you to do the 1v1 with the manhunt hunters

[hybrid ore]

Summit Floor 100 has guaranteed Hunters spawned in, you can fairly regularly find a farming group, if you check the LFG chanels on the 3 big servers.

[undone timber]

Fortunately you can just set it to normal and there you go

[feral mural]

I'm... An idiot

[hybrid ore]

fun fact (that I'm 99% sure hasn't been fixed yet), the "Hunters" in Countdown count as Black Tusk Elite, so enjoy that one for Global Events.

[feral mural]

I completely forgot about floor 100 lmao

[hybrid ore]

My head-canon is that they're trainees.

[unborn ravine]

Thats an exploit, bannable offense.

[feral mural]

Hm?

[hybrid ore]

They're making a joke.

[feral mural]

my bad, humour doesn't translate well to discord

[hybrid ore]

div2 has plenty of things that other games can consider exploits, but are sort of encouraged in a way.
e.g. SHD Watch mules.

[feral mural]

I forgot it only counts if you have a melee battle with the hunter

[feral mural]

I have never done this

[hybrid ore]

The (general, there are exceptions) rule of thumb is that as long as you aren't obtaining things unreasonably fast, it's probably fine. probably.

If in doubt: ask on here.

e.g. SHD watch farm? Fine. Deliberately failing an area over and over to the point where it causes mass server disruptions? Not fine.

[cold narwhal]

I’m guessing everyone is having the same vendors bug?

[wooden sentinel]

Where is Theo at in the White House

[cold narwhal]

He’s not

They didn’t update keener, etc, there after the manhunt

[lusty sluice]

I havent done hardcore yet but seen a video of new Duck Mask

https://youtu.be/zBNB63-tpuc?si=KaKFg6Wxfc1MxBiL

[inner elbow]

Dok

flaps wings

[ebon ermine]

Just picked up my second Provocator.. Armor value 169944/170000.... that's 0.03% off max... 🙄 Really? Why does that delta even exist? lol

[inner elbow]

/shrug just optimise it

[low lily]

Nahh you have to loot godroll or it doesn't count...smh

[ebon ermine]

Well, I don't want some counterfeit-grade manufactured one... lol

[limpid linden]

am i being blind or does the technician spec not have an outfit?

[scarlet musk]

Does the waveform's talents only work when 2 talents are active ?

[molten spire]

no, only the launch day specializations have uniforms. The Technician spec did receive some themed clothing items during a past apparel event, but I can't tell you which of them are available for textiles instead of premium credits as I unlocked them all during the event

[limpid linden]

the flamethrower one has an outfit and so does gunner

aswell as the original 3

[tardy sedge]

If I open exotic caches in a group can I share it with who I’m with ?

[desert briar]

where do I go to recruit people for longterm countdown farming?

[molten spire]

if you got the cache when grouped, but you may not be able to share exotics from purchased caches

[alpine gale]

any reason that everytime i load in i dont get the new valentines advent it keeps giving me day 6 over and over just reloged 4 times and boom day 6 pops up everytime

[undone timber]

Day 6 is the last one

[alpine gale]

ah i see lol tks for that i need to read more patch notes

[undone timber]

It's just so people can farm first sight I suppose

[feral mural]

yes, and It works with exotic caches purchased with countdown points

I've tested this when I dropped 5 exotic items to my boyfriend

[jade dome]

Anyone know the drop chance for new chest price on each difficulty ?

[hollow hill]

First sight I had with first sight is immediately deconstructing it and just dumping printer filaments into the gun for proficiency

[unreal perch]

well maybe like other exo lock in too specifiques missions like 7% in heroïc, 5 in challenging, 2 in hard nd 1 in normal. Just note that it's 100% for the 1st clear at Master

[hollow hill]

That's assuming it's even worth the hassle getting a gimmicky ass exotic

Tardi > Provocator

[jade dome]

That depends on what you are using it for tardi is a team buff so being solo it doesn’t make sense to use tardi due to cooldown

[hollow hill]

Provocator gives 25% damage reduction. For solo just use any other chest piece talent and it's already better 😂 unbreakable would be better

[undone timber]

If you're purely just trying to not die it could allow for a very funny amount of DR

[hollow hill]

Aegis and Mosquito tech tank ftw

[jade dome]

Another talent with a cooldown 🤣 this is flat damage reduction no matter what

[kind veldt]

Well range limitation

But 20m is generous

[hollow hill]

Yay 25% damage reduction! Hope you know the damage reduction only comes from the lowest damage number. Not crits. Crits are still normal. Tested in PvP btw, Dod Regnbue and DJTickle have crunched the numbers. Remember this is a SURVIVABILITY chest piece. 25% damage reduction sounds nice but not when it only applies to base damage, not crits. Unbreakable is a SURVIVABILITY talent. It gives you armor on top of your armor. PvE basically 95% armor return. Pvp 50%. So imagine having 2m armor. 95% you basically get your entire armor back. Does 25% damage reduction sound good now? Didn't think so

[undone timber]

Provocator is definitely something I'll be fiddling with for fun

[hollow hill]

You take 25% less damage. Do the math. 2m armor × 25% reduced damage (basically 25% more armor), you'll get like 2.2m armor total. Unbreakable gives more. No matter how you math it, Unbreakable is better

[hybrid ore]

2 Million armour seems like a lot, but it's still only a few shots in the long term.

[kind veldt]

0.5 armor

Not just 0.2

[hollow hill]

Correct. I'm applying this to both PvE and pvp. Sadly we can't test the survivability in PvE bc there's no damage numbers to us

[hollow hill]

Off by a small bit but ye you get it

[kind veldt]

1/10 to 1/4

[keen osprey]

Soooo did everyone find the ducks yet 👀

[hollow hill]

Regardless, no matter what, Provocator is just a gimmick 😂 if it applied to teammates as well then it might be worth it. Since it doesn't, solo players are better off just utilizing other chest talents and honestly better exotics

[unreal perch]

Im not doing Master for the chest. It's allready proficient. Just for the fun doing it

[hollow hill]

There's a video online showing all locations

[unreal perch]

yes

[kind veldt]

What ducks

[hybrid ore]

That is a rabbit hole of a question.

[hollow hill]

Climax mission has ducky Easter eggs. There's a secret mask

Just yt duck locations for Theo Parnell. One user solved it already. Mask looks sick I'll be doing the EE later

[keen osprey]

Right! I spent 4 hours last night finding them all and then got a mask only to realise someone else found them and made a video.. could have saved myself the hassle

[kind veldt]

As long you dont have to do it on master ill try it after breakfast

[hollow hill]

😂😂😂 I noticed the ducks immediately. I just chose to wait for the solution lol

[keen osprey]

Yeah it can be done on normal

[hollow hill]

I saw it on normal

[unreal perch]

did it on normal y

[keen osprey]

It was fun but also a bit of a pain in the arse.. I seen that one of the devs replied to the video about it

[hollow hill]

They sure did lol. Was pretty cool. I did the same thing for this manhunt, just waited for solutions. I like to play my games, not guess my games 😂

[keen osprey]

You would probably not have enjoyed being in the division 2 secrets discord when they were deciphering the Hunter masks years ago -- those guys spoke in tongues 🤭

I was like "what do you mean Boolean and hieroglyphs!!!!!"

[kind veldt]

I feel like the community ia going to love the next manhunt puzzles

[keen osprey]

The community, excluding @hollow hill obviously 😏

[nocturne hare]

plenty don't like the manhunt revamp

[tribal oracle]

Hi guys, good day!
I have a quick question to all of you
And sorry to not use, probably not the best chat for this.
My question is, I'm playing Division2 since day 1 on my XSX, but now I will buy a PS5 Pro and I just want to play Division 2 on it - the progress will be the same on my PS account? Or this is not possible to carry the progress that I'm doing on XSX and then jump to PS5?

[undone timber]

No cross save

[tribal oracle]

ohhh 😦

[keen osprey]

It won't get any better going forward. Whilst the PTS didn't give away much when you looked at the manhunt tab, the puzzle aspect still exists - with all clues now in 1's ans 0's.. with the outcomes still being the same stuff we've done thus far.

[nocturne hare]

That's a pity, played the entire season and barely touched it. Might finish but probably won't.

[keen osprey]

To add to what naval said, they've claimed numerous times in the past that it'd be technically impossible for them to put the work into cross save and cross play. With how they store data it lead to numerous technical questions on how it would work for players with characters existing on other platforms aswel as shd level and data sync etc.

You'll have to start again fresh from level 1 or keep your xbox for TD2 if you enjoy it enough.

[keen osprey]

The exotic components as weekly scout rewards was incentive enough for me BUT THE DUCKS, now you can't forget about those.

[nocturne hare]

yes if the mask is good enough I'll have to 🤣

haven't looked into it

[tribal oracle]

Ok clarified! I will keep with my save on XSX 😂
2 or 3 trophies missing for the 100% completion!
Thanks for the info

[lucid galleon]

Can you farm the new chest without doing the hunting mission? at the summit for example?

[kind veldt]

mission only at the moment

we dont know how it's going to work next season

[remote pecan]

technically impossible
where there is a will ... BUT it's just not feasible for them

[keen osprey]

If we weren't getting a Division 3 and they wanted to keep adding to the game like Siege then I'd say they'd have looked into it but it doesn't make sense financially. If it takes this long to get 100 stash slots imagine the headaches of cross save integration

[low lily]

Well it's definitely possible to play playstation save in PC tho, not sure I can say why I know that tho 😂

[spare crest]

Specail kind of muppets calling the helo straight away on countdown, go back to hard if you can't handle farming the end

[torpid plume]

Does anyone have a picture of the secret mask from theo mission want to see if it's worth doing puzzle or not

[low lily]

@torpid plume I have a bad image but can dm

[remote pecan]

yea that's a different story than "technically impossible"

[torpid plume]

Thanks

[remote pecan]

idk the 20m makes it not so good tbh, you want something that works on all ranges
and at higher difficulties the damage output of enemies far away is still way too high

[undone timber]

Usable imo

I haven't done anything extensive but it could be quite funny with the defender drone and pfe

[remote pecan]

if you're at 80% pfe and you'll use the chest,
it just equal to 85% damage resist to elite enemies in close quarter and you're missing out on a talent

[limpid linden]

any idea why premium credits ive paid for about 2 hours ago wouldnt be showing up in game yet?

[limpid linden]

are there others from the previous final missions from other seasons?

i did

ill try again

[kind veldt]

as far as i am aware they say that credits might take up to 24h to appear

if it doesnt appear after that, make a support ticket

[limpid linden]

my ubisoft connect had run out while i was playing the game so im hoping it doesnt just dissapear into the void

[kind veldt]

check if the money was taken

[limpid linden]

because when i resubbed the price was £4 cheaper xD

yeah 41.99

[undone timber]

Schaeffer and Kelso

[limpid linden]

still obtainable?

[undone timber]

Ye

[limpid linden]

niceee

[undone timber]

They're not secret but it's free apparel so

They look sweet too

[kind veldt]

the condition is simply to not die until you get it

[limpid linden]

ooo would i already have those then if i done those missions?

[kind veldt]

didyou get the hunter masks from those?

[limpid linden]

errr lemme check

i got the weird split skull mask thing

[rancid sphinx]

Why are they saying 5x xp is running on a tweet msg yesterday? no timeline event for 5x xp listed and what is listed makes no sense and one that was listed started yesterday and ended as soons as it started. i assume another screw up by ubisoft maybe.

[limpid linden]

is it deceit and the american flag masks?

[cold narwhal]

Wait really? From shooting the ducks? Weird that it’s not in every one

[limpid linden]

wait theres one from shooting ducks

[cold narwhal]

I assume that’s why it’s called “duck mask”

Unless you’re talking about the hunter masks

[limpid linden]

yeah i got confused

[cold narwhal]

There’s no hunter in this tho

[limpid linden]

because theres loads of ducks to shoot in the schaeffer mission

[kind veldt]

pretty sure those dont have duck mask

just the hunter ones

[cold narwhal]

That would be a nightmare

[limpid linden]

i think i got the schaeffer mask, like a gold/silver split skull mask thing

[cold narwhal]

It’s the mask from the hunter there

[kind veldt]

#division-tweets message

[limpid linden]

ill do the kelso mission again for the 'murica mask

[torpid plume]

Looks like a cleaners mask, very nice

[kind veldt]

do note it's season XP, which means stuff for season pass

[cold narwhal]

The hunter drops it directly you don’t have to do anything special

Idk what that other person was talking about

[limpid linden]

yeah i died to the hunter on the kelso mission when i done it

[kind veldt]

well those hunters masks are extra

[limpid linden]

i went straight in on heroic as a freshish level 40

[kind veldt]

if you die they dont spawn anymore and have to re do the mission

[limpid linden]

got bodied

[kind veldt]

but they are extras

[molten spire]

it was 5x? I only got 2x for the manhunt scouts and priority objectives, not like it mattered when I only had 8 season levels left

[teal carbon]

Yeah, fresh 40 here, still comfy on Normal difficulty, everything else feels a little too rowdy since I still don't have a real build

[limpid linden]

are there any other extra masks? outside of the ones weve spoken about and the ones on the walls in dc/ny?

[teal carbon]

Completing up my main missions now, and then going to work on completing NYC hunt

[undone timber]

wrights mask

for flawless incursion

[limpid linden]

my brother in christ i still die to open world patrols

[molten spire]

Incursion with nobody going down at any point

[limpid linden]

wrights mask is a myth for me

[molten spire]

but then again based on what gets posted in the photo mode channels Hunter garb is basically the domain of the internet tough guy

[undone timber]

youll get there man

id help myself but xbox

[cold narwhal]

Anyway I just did master for the first time and that was much easier than a legendary. I could solo that easy, it would just take a while from damage output not being high. I cannot do any legendaries solo

[molten spire]

so it's definitely one of the things you have but don't use because everyone else who does is, as the saying these days goes, cringe

[limpid linden]

i just pray that in div 3 they give us more customisation for body shape and such, i wanna BE wright, not wear just his mask

[undone timber]

hey some of the masks are pretty sweet

[cold narwhal]

I feel like stranded tanker Kelso climax was harder than this

[limpid linden]

there is no reason to not let me play as a chungus

[undone timber]

i use the blood red one pretty often

[molten spire]

I put mine away just as quickly before someone else in the safe house sees it and thinks I'm one of them

[limpid linden]

also the fact that theres not a melee only hunter with a jason mask

[undone timber]

usually i just run kajikas and keeners fits

[limpid linden]

missed opportunity, just sayin

[undone timber]

they look so good

[cold narwhal]

Yes. That’s why wright mask is still wearable 🤣

[keen osprey]

Has anyone actually played any of the NY missions since they removed the daily/weekly projects?

I was just looking at my season journey and I've only done 1/8 missions in NY this season. It feels odd not having the incentive to go there

Probably May

[molten spire]

did a duo with a random backup call for a WONY run last week

[undone timber]

we got it during her season

[cold narwhal]

I never go there unless I have to farm rikers or cleaners for some reason

[undone timber]

just for mules

[unborn night]

What that mask look like ? Tryna see if I have it

[teal carbon]

Define no incentive to go there? As a new player/fresh 40 who still hasn't completed the discovering all of NYC with the Keener hunt, should I not bother?

[limpid linden]

i avoid NY as much as i can now, that control point with the christmas music is a trigger in my head

[cold narwhal]

You’d know lol

[limpid linden]

THE NUMBERS MASON

[azure lintel]

the nightmare is finally over, I beat manning zoo on legendary

[undone timber]

you unlock 4 new skills

[torpid plume]

Can the secret mask in theo mission be done on any difficulty

[limpid linden]

American flag

[cold narwhal]

Nice.wear your giraffe with pride

[undone timber]

if you already have those and youre not interested in lore and the scenery then yeah no real reason to go

it was back recently

[unborn night]

Copy thanks

[undone timber]

yes

i have his outfit but i dont like the shoes

skipped conley and dragov

[limpid linden]

someones getting a sternly worded letter if the recruiter outfit doesnt make an appearance anytime

with his obnoxiously large boots

[undone timber]

its been back twice now

very highly sought after it seems

[limpid linden]

yeah but i missed those

and im salty about it

[undone timber]

its like 25 dollars or something stupid

[molten spire]

not stupid - the photomode channel people

[undone timber]

the outfit is cool but not 25 dollars cool

we dont know

[hollow hill]

Yup I'm gonna let the no-lifes figure it out for me because that's basically how this game is lol

[hollow hill]

I had to get it. I wear it on my PvE character and the outfit will never change

[azure lintel]

whats a good build to run for climax

[hollow hill]

Armor strikers works fine. Assuming you're attempting heroic or master

[azure lintel]

thanks man

[hollow hill]

Even on normal difficulty it's a tedious ass mission 💀

[low moss]

Is there a bug page to report to on this discord just doing some uni work and it would come great in hand

[jagged prism]

sadly the mission can be cheesed kind of

[torpid plume]

It looks like the hunter is wearing a diaper

[azure lintel]

dude I lowkey wanted it and now i've seen the outfit has a tactical diaper I don't think I'll buy

It looks so stupid

[undone timber]

i like it tbh

looks significantly worse without it imo

[torpid plume]

It would have been good if they made it so it didn't look that way but still had the armor on it

[azure lintel]

yeah

[tropic compass]

I dont see how the final mission is hard

[jagged prism]

i'm trying to solo it

probably make 2nd area reliably, 3rd every once in a blue moon

[valid hornet]

Aaron Keener bundle and I can rest peacefully

[remote pecan]

its pretty easy once you know the drill

you can even "cheese" the power cut off area and do it before all the spawns happen
there are just 2 guys, most of the time standing nearby the code, if you don't aggro them you can just do the power cut off, or kite them around, same for the terminal hacking after

[turbid current]

how can i get the duck mask

[kind veldt]

shoot the ducks

[turbid current]

how

[jagged prism]

youtuber shows all the ducks

[torpid plume]

https://youtu.be/zBNB63-tpuc?si=66AlxcZRLwDTb_tA

[turbid current]

thx

and the provocator can drop anywhere?

[fluid island]

still no extra cutscene after doing Theo mission?

[molten spire]

possible from manhunt finale only, guaranteed for Master difficulty

[unique bramble]

Maybe the 3D animators were on vacation this season

[azure lintel]

Why is water room bugging out and wiping? We turned the right valves the numbers on the tv said 1, 3, 2 and it said incorrect sequence. Is this a bug?

[kind veldt]

Second longer sequency

[azure lintel]

No first because second step the tv is in the back and it’s 6 different numbers. First step of water room is only 3 numbers. It’s fool proof because valves have numbers beside them.

As soon as we walked in, tv to the left, I’ve done master already and have the chest piece. But I’m doing it for my friend.

[real creek]

Got a clip?

[azure lintel]

Typical, figures…

[real creek]

I mean it sounds like you found a bug and your looking to confirm it, so the next steps would be to report it. A clip will help with that.

[valid hornet]

Are u turning them at the same time?

[tawdry spindle]

Still no news about the lexinton?

[young moth]

I just started division 2 and can’t find people to matchmake missions with is there a way I can solo play the main missions?

[small spear]

yes, just walk in

[young moth]

Thanks

[grand blade]

The logic of the Devs sometimes... 🙄 The weapons mod that is identical to the iron sights of the Lexington, is not available as an option for the Lexington 🤯

In fact, none of the iron sight mods are 😂

[kind veldt]

well lexington borrowing skin of something else

[rigid wedge]

So why is the Lover's mask and the items are in the store but I can't buy the bundle..

[keen osprey]

The items are ported from the Division 2 China version - in that game the bundle was called Hearts Bundle which includes the mask and 2 weapon skins. They never released them as part of a bundle but the tag still applies. Sort of lazy on their part

[rigid wedge]

yeah.. I don't know if it will get taken off anytime soon

[tropic compass]

Lol getting carried through mastery by a hacker

[grand blade]

And that skin actually CAN use all 3 iron sight mods 🙄

[azure lintel]

Fellas, I have come to say: hotshot Dread Edict is very poggers

[grand blade]

But there are so many messed up things about what mods can go in what weapons. Like the CTAR-21 not being able to use neither the ACOG nor the C79, even though the real rifle can, and yet some of the SMGs can use scopes, LOL

[grand dove]

The voice that says 'division incoming bichon' is far too sweet to be on the enemy side

[terse scroll]

Yo, I remember the game had a collaboration with resident evil and there was skins did they remove it? Cuz I can’t find it anymore

[spare cove]

Yeah, cuz the licensing expired

[terse scroll]

Damn

Thanks for the info

[tender wave]

You got that new pink backpack skin? That causes issues apparently

eh, no sensible reason to feel judged

[wooden sentinel]

Where is Theo

[low quartz]

Idk I have the same problem

[feral mural]

wdym?

if you mean the mission, it will not appear until you complete every single scout mission

[spare cove]

You need to be specific

[feral mural]

Ever since they released backpack skins, the masks have been broken

[low quartz]

I’m trying to get the new exotic chest

[feral mural]

@low quartz

You cannot do the mission until you complete the scout missions. There is no way around this, no exploit, no cheats.

[low quartz]

I tried it on hard and challenging

[low quartz]

I have completed it

[kind veldt]

then you can either go there and the mission, it's on the space center, you can also use the manhunt menu to travel there

[feral mural]

if you just mean the chest itself, it's only guaranteed at master difficulty

[kind veldt]

after beating it once you can do master mode for the chestpiece

it's also a random drop if you play in any other difficulty

[feral mural]

or have a 10% chance at lower difficulty

[low quartz]

I don’t have anyone to do master with

[real creek]

You can always suffer rely on match making.

[kind veldt]

i did with randoms

it might be test of patience tho

[real creek]

Could have won the rando lottery too. Like when you MM for tidal legendary and finish first try in 30-40 minutes.

[remote pecan]

solo it

[dark sand]

Another day another grind

[austere thunder]

Ola had no business going this hard for the Manhunt final,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdDbgamwOTA

[unborn vigil]

Is buying the Season pass worth it?

[hybrid ore]

Only buy the 1000 Credits Season Pass if you like the Cosmetics, any actual gameplay content is free.
It's 100% not worth getting the "level skips" one, unless you really like its cosmetics.

[stable tapir]

div 2 offline?

[keen osprey]

Never. Not even at the end of the games life cycle, same goes for the first one. Both titles require servers for the AI and LOD as the game size would be much much larger to compensate for it, beyond that there's systems like targeted loot, projects and crate/cache content generation that require server sided processes to work.

Tl;Dr not going to happen.

[full zinc]

Even then it isnt worth the level skips

[keen osprey]

The same offer in the previous season was actually more value for money in the long run. The current season offering is terrible in comparison.

Y6 S1 Season Pass bundle granted you 1500 credits and 27 skips

Y6 S2 (Current) offering was slashed to 500 credits and 20 skips.

The price remained the same

[full zinc]

I did the offer a while back, maybe last y5 season. Was like 3k no skips, that art deco mask iirc

[sage crow]

So I’m just stepping back into TD2 after a year hiatus, please forgive me if this isn’t the place to post this but is it true they scrapped Heartland?

[low lily]

Ye

[sage crow]

Damn

[dark sand]

Yup along time ago .. truly heartbreaking news

[south cliff]

Does anyone even play in the DZ anymore

[dark sand]

Here

[sage crow]

They haven’t come out with a way to link PlayStation and PC accounts have they?

[grand dove]

No they haven't

[sage crow]

I crye

I miss my rouge charm.

[small spear]

so you miss a charm with a particular shade of red?

[sage crow]

No, it was a coin I got from the dark zone, no clue how I got it.

[wild moat]

How long it takes for lockbox to reset ?

[toxic flume]

division 1 and 2 wont see the light of cross save. It doesn’t even support crossplay

[cerulean dove]

@sage crow do landmarks and you’ll get the DZ East trophy

[toxic flume]

Heartland would’ve been the first cross save and cross play in the division franchise. But that got shut down ages ago

[cerulean dove]

@sage crow DZ West trophy you get by extracting a full inventory of contaminated loot

[cerulean dove]

Either that or going in and out of the safe room there multiple times

[sage crow]

Is a pestilence build still viable?

[cerulean dove]

Not sure the only build I have with pestilence involves four gear items from True Patriot, Tardigrade Chest armor system, and a uzina getica holster

And I forgot what it’s supposed to do lol my Xbox one x gave up the ghost a few months ago ops I wasn’t able to play

I’ll give it a quick spin to let you know

[real creek]

Pest ticks only gain damage via amps/weapon damage. imo not worth building around just put it on a high damage build and enjoy an extra tick.

[grand blade]

Actually, if you keep building up the stacks, the damage is pretty significant. Just keep shooting the same target till it is dead, then continue on the target the pest jumps to, and then the next, and the next. The tick becomes pretty damaging. The focused fire on a single target is also great for building up stacks with Striker.

Also, don't be fooled by the debuff icon on the enemy, it often shows the wrong amount of stacks and time left on it.

[real creek]

See the real problem is that your gun will end up netting you more damage so if you make sacrifices to your build to make the tick do the most you typically loose damage over all.

[grand blade]

You don't have to make any sacrifices to your build though. It is a straight-up damage build focused on LMG

[cerulean dove]

Alright I know this is going to be a tall order but the semi auto rifle auto fire mode should be a function that can be turned off

Because I just used my SVD and I spent most of the gun fight trying to keep it on target

Whoever decided this choice definitely did not play this game

[grand blade]

That's odd. When I used it, it was actually incredibly stable. Are you sure you have enough stability?

[warm ermine]

Just made a new Hardcore entire main story PB, 14hrs 59mins

Shaved 12 mins off my previous time 🤷‍♂️🤣

[cerulean dove]

Well no because the build it’s part of is meant to be in the back of the line taking pot shots

Basically shoot and scoot with rapid fire in case there is something needs to be taken care of asap

I stand by the idea the auto fire should be an option that can turned off in the menu though

[warm ermine]

Seems I’m not trusted enough yet to add a pic 🤷‍♂️

[grand blade]

Only mods can post pics in general chat.

[warm ermine]

Oh ok thanks 🙏

[cerulean dove]

Though I’m gonna be blunt giving the SCARs ten rounds while keeping the 20 round magazines is very dumb

Like seriously look up SCAR H ten round magazine the difference is very noticeable

[grand blade]

Not sure the SVD was ever meant to be used in that way 🤔

[cerulean dove]

It’s primarily my mentality I go with classic sniper class gameplay methodology

Sniper rifle for range
SMG/Pistol for anything that gets too close

If that makes sense

[grand blade]

For my sniper cha, I use the SR-1. It is fast firing. But it is however that annoying shoot-and-regain-target-to-shoot-again

I hate that they have made scopes this way in TD2

TD1 got that part right

[cerulean dove]

Where you scope out every rechamber?

I would’ve been okay with this if the scope in was toggled

[grand blade]

Yeah

Honestly, if my instructor had seen me taking my eye off the scope between each shot, he would have slapped me in the back of the head, and rightly so 😂

[cerulean dove]

Also do we need to liberate No Hope Hotel twice or something?

Because Day 6 of the Valentines Day event wants me to liberate it again

[real creek]

It repeats daily, you can do it on normal for another first sight if you want.

[molten spire]

it's the final objective of the project chain so it endlessly repeats

[cerulean dove]

Oh that’s it?

Huh

[molten spire]

does it require fighting the attack party after it arrives at the control point? I was surprised a while back when intercepting one well away from the control point counted as taking over a NY control point

[vapid vine]

Just noticed my lexingtons have been leveled up from lvl 30 to lvl 40

[cerulean dove]

Unpopular opinion we should be able to purchase outfits from old events with textiles

I’m starting to run out of apparel to purchase with them

[hybrid ore]

They do change-up the Apparel Caches every now and then to have a different stock, and a while back they had a sort of "catch up" Event, where you could get random parts from previous Apparel Events.

aaaaand they are planning in the future to re-run more old Apparel Events in full.

[cerulean dove]

Good because I really want to now get these full costume unlocks now that the apparel bug is gone

The bug was if you applied like the Gunner backpack to any backpack in a loadout literally all the loadouts would have it

[grand blade]

Nice. Hopefully, it is the same for everyone else who accidentally got it at the wrong level 👍🏽

[vapid vine]

I can also mark them as junk now strangely enough

[grand blade]

LOL, so they finally make them lvl 40, but then put themselves at risk of people accidentally deconstructing them, and contacting support to try to get them back 😋

[vapid vine]

I don't know why people would get rid of them because they don't take any room up in your stash

[grand blade]

I didn't say they would. But you can be sure that people would write to support anyway haha 😅

[cerulean dove]

So before I try master difficulty what should I expect in this?

[grand blade]

True 😂

[hybrid ore]

Even if you really should have it and don't, you still can't ask for it later.
Take me, for example.

[grand blade]

You never got it?

[shadow plank]

For high end gear is it random chance to get 2 attributes or 1 attribute and gear mod slot?

[hybrid ore]

Pre-ordered the game, it showed up remarkably close to launch-date, code didn't work.

[grand blade]

Damn! 🥴

[hybrid ore]

The delayed delivery was understandable, as Amazon was still fairly fresh to here at the time.

[grand blade]

High end gear always has 2 atts and 1 core. Only mask, chest, and back have mod slots

[hybrid ore]

Well, apart from Chill Out and Improvised Gear, that is.
