td2-general-chat

[mental harbor]

See I havent been with the game in forever

[tender wave]

That's a season, not really an expansion

You can play the season without buying the season pass or anything, it just gives you some extra loot and cosmetics

[kind veldt]

there is another one planned for later this year but it hasnt been on store yet

[mental harbor]

Where do I go to start the seasonal story then haha. Also Does it matter what gear level I am since im literally just back haha

[molten spire]

if you completed Warlords of New York you can start where you left off

[mental harbor]

Hmm I have

[tender wave]

Gear score doesn't really exist any more. Get to level 40 if you aren't already, you can find the manhunt tab on the map menu for seasonal story stuff

[rugged copper]

Does the territory control and propaganda broadcasts spawn randomly in maps?

[tender wave]

Also check the seasons tile from the main menu for season journey season pass, global events

[tender wave]

Yes, they'll mostly spawn in areas where you haven't captured all the control points

[mental harbor]

Class, I forgot I had the Leon RPD outfit

[rugged copper]

Ohh, and can my control points be captured by enemy again?

[tender wave]

Map menu, global difficulty settings, reset control points

[rugged copper]

Bro I just happen to see 2 of the control points I captured a while ago is taken by enemy again -_-

[tender wave]

They do get retaken over time as well, yes

But you can reset them all whenever you like

[rugged copper]

Reset?

[rugged copper]

Then there is no point in trying to capture all the control points

[mental harbor]

So Im in DC at the chopper whats the best one to run

[molten spire]

yes, you capture them all because you want to

[mental harbor]

Theres a mission called Meret Estate

[tender wave]

Yeah there's a backpack trophy for capturing them all once, but mostly I leave them red because you get more enemy activities and stuff to do

[rugged copper]

Yes I want to, but whats the point? They get recaptured by enemies and now I have to capture them all over again?

[molten spire]

at least at Level 40 Heroic the attack parties are limited to the weekly invaded neighborhoods. Clear the missions and first stronghold = no more attack parties

[rugged copper]

-_-

[fickle edge]

You don't have to capture them it's optional

[rugged copper]

What does attack party mean?

[rugged copper]

Ik its optional, but yeah I do want all of em green on my map :/

[tender wave]

You get experience and loot for capturing them, and blueprints on higher difficulties

[scarlet musk]

Good luck because they take them back

[molten spire]

the group of 4 enemies from the various factions that try to retake the control points

[tender wave]

Plus it's something fun to do

[scarlet musk]

Does everyone have the scout 3 answers ? every post i look up on reddit is only about the bug

[tender wave]

One of the best options for experience farming

[rugged copper]

How do I stop them?

[molten spire]

scroll up

[rugged copper]

Say it again pls 🙂

Im pissed watching 3 of my control points taken over by enemy i just took like an hour ago -_-

[tender wave]

Most of the endgame is repeating content - missions, activities, etc, that's just how it works

[mental harbor]

Yeah I have 0 idea where to go and what mission to do hahahahaha

[molten spire]

clear the invaded missions, then clear the "first" invaded stronghold (Capitol Building, District Union Arena, Roosevelt Island, Manning National Zoo if you're really unlucky)

this removes the invaded status from those areas

[rugged copper]

First stronghold? Can you name it?

[ivory tulip]

District Union is the first

[rugged copper]

What do you mean by invaded missions?

[mental harbor]

Me?

[ivory tulip]

After you take the capitol building for the first time immediately after you begin the invaded campaign, they’re just the same missions with twists and you fight the BT instead

You won’t see any main missions invaded until after you take out all 4 invaded strongholds for the first time

[tender wave]

They have red icons on the map instead of blue

[ivory tulip]

Yep

[rugged copper]

Alot of work to do perhaps

[ivory tulip]

Not really, just gotta do them weekly if you want to

[rugged copper]

I did the strongholds with normal difficulty earlier, wanting to do it in hard this time, should it be easy?

[real creek]

Yeah.

[ivory tulip]

Yeah it should be easy, if it’s hard you gotta rethink your build, I can’t stress this enough though if you haven’t hit level 40 yet don’t bother with a build, you’ll have to swap those gear pieces out every level anyway

[rugged copper]

Thanks guys! Anyone here would give review about breakpoint? Was wondering if I should go for it

[ivory tulip]

Like breaking point the gear set?

If so it’s really only good if you’re running Snipers or rifles

It was super good last season with the modifier equipped, pair that with Ekim’s Long Stick you could one tap everything at far range

[graceful cipher]

The servers is down?

[ivory tulip]

Not to my knowledge, everything looks fine on all platforms

[rugged copper]

Nooo, the game breakpoint

[real creek]

Well we have a gearset called breakpoint...

[mental harbor]

All I know is im SHD level 43 hahaha Im like a lost puppy other wise hahah. I have 0 idea where to go and what mission to do hahahah

[ivory tulip]

Ah, I mean it’s ok

[ivory tulip]

Had me confused too lol

It’s not necessarily a bad game, it just fails at everything it tries to be

[real creek]

If you are interested in another game you'll get opinions here but idk maybe better to ask in a breakpoint(the game) discord.

[ivory tulip]

Yeah Ghost Recon has a server, not sure if it’s active though

That too

[real creek]

I mean even among division servers this one isn't always the most busy, maybe most populated but other servers can be much more active.

Lack of VC will do that tho.

[ivory tulip]

I would think this server would be much more active, Ghost Recon hasn’t gotten as much as a new update to their newest game in 4 years now

[real creek]

I'm just talking about div tho.

[ivory tulip]

Ahhh, I thought you were just talking servers in general my bad

[scarlet musk]

so what's the general consensus for the manhunt 2 ?

[rugged copper]

Soo, can anyone name any similar open world games like TD2?

[ivory tulip]

Depends if you want looter shooter mechanics

[real creek]

3rd person looter shooters?

[rugged copper]

Yessir

[mental harbor]

Well theres this and thats it hahah

First person Id say Destiny hahah thats my main Looter shooter

[ivory tulip]

Yeah it’s really a one of it’s kind, Breakpoint has the mechanics but they’re dumbed down to the minimum as it’s not meant to be played with gear score

Yeah go Destiny if you want a looter shooter other than this, but if you do make sure to have some money ready, there’s a truckload of paid DLC’s

And remember none of your content you paid for is guaranteed to stay

[mental harbor]

As someone who has over 17k hours I can confirm hahaha

[queen flax]

wassap guys

[remote pecan]

did someone try if the white tusk from DUA count towards the scout
starting area should be still in Downtown East

[void iron]

@remote pecan I know Downtown East on mine has been full of hyena activities all morning it’s not invaded so no BTusk at all

[remote pecan]

White Tusk means Legendary DUA, which you can always start, but I already finished the objective, so I can't test if they work.

[tender wave]

You can also try farming hostage rescues, they're often (but not always) black tusk even when the area isn't invaded.
Plus they give a bounty so even more BT to kill

[real creek]

No one knows that clan....

[scarlet musk]

sounds like a you issue

hard to argue with that

[sullen lotus]

This must be a trait for these div 2 players

[real creek]

idk sounds like you average toxic players. Better to just move on and make friends.

[tender wave]

We don't allow witch-hunting in here so I've removed that post btw

[scarlet musk]

haa there goes my afternoon

[sullen lotus]

@real creek sure does mate very rare to meet some decent people on here

[scarlet musk]

Well...

You come here screaming about a random clan like a lunatic, maybe that's a wrong start to make friends

[lime lagoon]

this games making me wanna throw a brick

[mental harbor]

This game is so confusing since coming back. I have 0 idea what missions to do hahahah

[lime lagoon]

20 million dps and yet the Darpa labs is still way too hard

[real creek]

Range DPS is not a good indicator btw

[lime lagoon]

i have seen my own numbers tested on challenging cause screw heroic

[real creek]

Heroic is the easy standard in this game, you don't have to play it but it's very easy.

[lime lagoon]

today

i learnt that some people enjoy suffering

[scarlet musk]

just flexing

[latent patio]

I felt the same way, came back a couple weeks ago

[lime lagoon]

I ain't playing this to struggle it's to relax challenging lets me respawn and keep myself sane

[tender wave]

No harm in that

[scarlet musk]

challenging is the best tbh

you eventually get to your loot, just slower

[real creek]

Yeah there isn't anything wrong with playing challenging but to say heroic is a struggle is kinda crazy.

[scarlet musk]

I'm level 890 and i didn't finish a single heroic solo 😭

[tender wave]

Not everyone speedruns legendaries

[small spear]

I'm just an average player

[real creek]

Heroic isn't legendary?

[sullen lotus]

@scarlet musk 🤣 u waffling in here and can't even do heroic 4 directives woooww

[scarlet musk]

outch

[tender wave]

Takes time and focus to actually build gameplay skills to the point where heroic feels like nothing with whatever build

[lime lagoon]

Especially for a solo player heroic is insane

[real creek]

Heroic solo is not insane...

It doesn't require tons of time and focus and a crazy build at all.

[scarlet musk]

Legendary 4 directives without build and only one hand 👍

[undone timber]

I have a major skill issue can't solo a legendary but heroic is fairly chill with a competent build

[tender wave]

No, but if you've learned the necessary skills to cope with legendary then heroic feels like a walk in the park, but you've got a lot of positioning, awareness, enemy behaviour knowledge to help you out. To a less experienced player, it's very different

[real creek]

I meet people who are band new to this game and smash heroic with no issue.

[tender wave]

Even taking the time to think about what just went wrong and how to do better next time is something that some players can't be bothered with, they just want to charge around shooting whatever

Takes a certain kind of mind to look for potential for improvement and hone ones skills and reactions

[small spear]

i would just complain about how the game doesn't normalize my stats against the NPCs so that only my aim and skill matter

[undone timber]

sir

[lime lagoon]

I mean i have been ramming my head against this mission for an hour trying every combo

[real creek]

You might not be aware but outside of speed running I teach people incursions/raids and help them with builds as the other half of my game time. Most people aren't calling heroic insane or anything and it just sounds like they need help to understand the game which is an opportunity to me to help.

[small spear]

sometimes you just need to play a red build and sit in cover to kill them one at a time

if you're used to this, THEN you move onto faster strategies

[lime lagoon]

Issue is this part of the darpa mission is BS auto turrets a dozen medics and a mortar boss

[small spear]

oh yeah darpa is one of the harder ones

[lime lagoon]

So well I am in cover doing 20 million to one medic another is getting revived before I am blowing to shit

[small spear]

for that fight, there are a few fuse boxes you need to kill to disable turrets, but don't try to kill all the adds, you need to focus on the boss himself

[lime lagoon]

I am on the final boss and might give up

[small spear]

what matters is damage to the boss

[lime lagoon]

thats what I have been trying to do

20 mill is barley putting a dent

[tender wave]

Tbf that is one of the harder boss fights. Have you tried calling for backup?

[lime lagoon]

can't ain't got gamepass

[small spear]

well you need sustained damage so something like striker would do better until you get a better setup

the boss won't die the first time you deplete his health bar, he has 2 phases

[lime lagoon]

I am gonna give it another shot then quit

[umbral lava]

is this on herioc?

[small spear]

he also has a helmet if you're running a headshot build

[lime lagoon]

it's the only mission thats gave me pain

[eternal spire]

@small spear should I come back to the game? Haven’t played in a while

[tender wave]

Got to keep moving around but stay out of sight of the boss as he hits hard. The medics can't revive other medics so you can kill them all

[small spear]

up to you

[eternal spire]

Judging off our dms haven’t played since October 💀

[small spear]

there's not really much to do unless you're looking for challenges

[eternal spire]

Word

I still follow YouTubers for the game so I’m being spammed with this 5x event and golden bullet

[undone timber]

some of the legacy manhunts are pretty annoying

[small spear]

that might just help you with optimizing and expertising your stuff if you haven't already

[eternal spire]

Word

Hmm has anything changed since October?

[small spear]

they added modifiers

current season modifiers are really strong

[round oar]

Does the +4 repair charge hive skill mod work with reviver armor repair?

[real creek]

Repair charge=/=revive charge so no.

Most use the TDI kard custom to get an extra charge when needed tho.

[lime lagoon]

Rage quit I did

Jesus christ on a motorbike I got 75℅ of the 2 hour drop done in the time it took me to try and do that mission

I'll probally lower it to hard or normal and get it done that way but damm it annoys me its the only mission I can't do on challenging

[stark heron]

Survivalist is actually ideal

For some reason the crossbow can destroy his armour and backpack

Its possible with a single crossbow shot but thats just very precise

[real creek]

Might wanna consider a build check to see if your build is the real issue.

[stark heron]

And skips the phases

[stark heron]

That too

[vital cave]

Is there cross progression for d2?

[stark heron]

Nope

Its a 2019 game crossplay was not considered at all back then unfortunately

[lime lagoon]

droppedmit in builds

[vital cave]

Shit ultimate edition is on sale again I wanted to play this game again

[lime lagoon]

It's very basic sniper set up but get's the job done

[eternal spire]

Like against us? Example: enemies have crit chance

[spare cove]

No, like really strong for us. Skill builds are very powerful with the modifiers

[lime lagoon]

Cause I have 5 exotics to my name even after playing this since 2022

[stark heron]

Sniper build against a tank is, yikes...

[eternal spire]

Ahh I see

I haven’t played in so long I forgot what builds I have 💀 I gotta check

[stark heron]

Tbf sniper builds are more suited for open world

[spare cove]

Yessir

[lime lagoon]

Tanks I usally can drop in 3 hits hell i was getting to his second phase but found the addiontal heavys that spawn would just mow me down even tried my tank skill build but it wouldn't survive

[mental harbor]

Is there a way I can get an Assassins Creed patch for my character

[small spear]

no, we are strong

if you have a shield you're very strong because at the max buff level you get OC skills which means your shield is invulnerable

(still dies to explosions tho)

[eternal spire]

lol

Is that spreadsheet around? Had the best builds last time I checked

[small spear]

yes

updated on best effort basis

[eternal spire]

Can u send me the link to it of where to find it

[raw onyx]

PSA: getting to level 40 will cap out all XP from the event

[tender wave]

Oh yeah, if you are running a mule when the xp multiplier event starts, it thinks you are shd 0, then when you get your watch back it thinks you just gained that many shd levels, so you've maxed the event

[molten spire]

#td2-build-advice message

[tender wave]

Same issue if you start by playing a low shd hardcore character, then switch to high shd regular one

[raw onyx]

Seems like a bit of an oversight

[tender wave]

It's worked that way for years, but yeah

[raw onyx]

Oh so it's not a bug but a feature then!

[real creek]

wait wat, this is news to me lol but it makes sense.

No way, I could use this to not gain xp. Please stop the proficiency cache machine.

[fathom raft]

So is running max controll points the beat do farm this week?

[sterile ferry]

just did an outcast control points but it didnt count toward the daily project (3 Outcast activities) at all, whats up with that :/

[hybrid ore]

CP's are touch-and-go when it comes to actually counting for stuff.
I always just do territory controls.

[velvet widget]

how do I kill black tusk in downtown east if there are none to be found it makes no sense

[sterile ferry]

this might be the first time ever where a cp didnt count at all

usually it bugs out and only gives me one

[sterile ferry]

its on the trello for now

[velvet widget]

@sterile ferry the what?

[sterile ferry]

trello board, a website devs use to tell us some of the things theyre working on and stuff

[hybrid ore]

Bounties work if you have them.

[velvet widget]

@sterile ferry OK so how does that help me are you saying it's bugged and there's no way to complete this challenge

[sterile ferry]

there are work arounds but yeah you gotta wait until next tuesday maybe

as rivens said, bounties are helpful if you got one in that area

[velvet widget]

@sterile ferry don't have any bounties in that area and basically it's a waste of time then

[tender wave]

Hostage rescue events are frequently black tusk, you can encourage them to spawn by capturing control points in the area, they also give bounties as rewards

[velvet widget]

@tender wave wrong I looked at all the ones showing and there all hyenas so that's not a option

[tender wave]

Hostage rescues, not public executions. The green handcuffs icon

They're not always black tusk but are quite often

[velvet widget]

@tender wave if there not always black tusk then I'm not wasting my time trying if it's a low chance of being black tusk the devs need to start making an effort to assure these challenges are working instead of having people run around looking for something that may or may not be what's needed to complete a challenge

[tender wave]

They're intending to patch it next week, so I just guess just wait for that then, it's entirely up to you.

Personally I find running control points and activities an excellent way of farming shd for the event, so I don't consider it wasted time, but that's just me.

[lucid dune]

are the servers down?

[fickle edge]

on PC theyre up

[lucid dune]

i randomly got kicked out and can't get back on

[tender wave]

If they were down we'd be flooded with people asking about it

[raw minnow]

New video on Ubi

More info on DLC April 23rd, still gonna be awhile

[fickle edge]

link?

nvm found it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ayx6bHzYFUs

[raw minnow]

DLC gotta drop after this season then

[young basin]

back pack looks ok

[raw minnow]

People are really speculating it's an extraction dlc

Just slap Heartlands in Brooklyn

[fathom raft]

I am 100% ok with that. I still want survival brought back.

[kind veldt]

well it looks autumm themed

[true summit]

the new video looked great can't wait hear what on april 23rd

[muted vapor]

So no kenley college this 5xp event?

[bitter needle]

no kenly is insane

can't drop a 5x without kenly

[fathom raft]

So what’s everyones recommendation on xp

[wispy ember]

used to play on console new to the game if anyone wants to team up hmu im 19

[kind veldt]

better try the #lfg-pc

[fickle edge]

it got patched already anyways

[real creek]

idk if they did tho.

Kenlys issue is instant unlimited spawns not pummel.

[bitter needle]

didnt know kenly was an issue like that it just went well with 5x

[kind veldt]

it caused server issues

[real creek]

I still don't know what they consider "fixed" for kenly. If they put an ad spawn cooldown it's good. If they think pummel was the issue they are mistaken.

[kind veldt]

as far as i am aware they fixed the issue

[bitter needle]

i just started a fire mb

[real creek]

Naw you good lol

It's just we got no trello patch notes and they said it was "fixed" while saying pummel would be fixed and it is but idk if they think pummel was the issue or if they actually fixed spawns.

[rugged copper]

Why cannot I talk to the pilot in the white house?

[grand blade]

Aaaaaand done! No more weapons or gear to get proficient with 😢

Had hoped it would reach 30, but sadly not 🫤

[scarlet musk]

how can you not be max level with everything maxed out ? 😮

[real creek]

I think they are talking about expertise level, it's only 28 currently.

[scarlet musk]

ah that makes sense

[fiery temple]

any one else haveing an issue where step 1 of this weeks scout will not compleet?

[spare cove]

Did you do the bounty in Downtown East?

[fiery temple]

ya ... i had one
meatwagon so i burnned through it and still no good

[spare cove]

By the time we reach April 23rd, it'll be week 9 of this season, so no way they'll release Battle for Brooklyn there

[kind veldt]

public executions and hsotage rescues also give bounties

[fiery temple]

true ... geuss its respawn world till i farm a few more
geuss i know what im dong during meetings lator

[green pond]

wtf just got delta03 then now echo 01 - save not avaliable?

[grand blade]

Restart the game. And if that doesn't work, restart UBI Connect too. Often does the trick.

[green pond]

but rip progress gone

[lucid solar]

Is the 5xp for watch levels?

[green pond]

ye

[vale moth]

scout 4 completed, but i have only 3/14 comms. is this normal?!

[hybrid ore]

There's only 3 Scouts out right now.

Week 3 is the "role play" one.

[vale moth]

oh god. my eyes. got it🤣

nvm

[hybrid ore]

Honestly, dw about it. This week has been confusing.

[iron gust]

SHD backpack tomorrow as a grant

[vale moth]

the black tusk kill is kinda tricky. Just need to clear the downtown east cp and activity first. then hostage rescue gives black tusk bounty

[spare cove]

Tbh, I kinda expected that lol

[hybrid ore]

See this is where role-playing as an Agent works out for you.
Since we were forewarned there'd be a bug, I stacked up BT Bounties last week.

1x Hyena Bounty, 1x BT Bounty, Red Dragon CP.
Fastest Scout ever 🎆

[vale moth]

smart😄

[hybrid ore]

Just think of us as more murderous boy-scouts: always be prepared.

[vale moth]

im just running open world, try to get xp based prio mission, and chillin. 369/1000 atm🤷‍♂️

[fervent cobalt]

The 20 BT kills was pretty easy for me and my bf, we did the supply drops. 2 of them finished us both. Worth checking out if anyone is struggling out there

[scarlet musk]

lmao these summit floors with 2 factions are awesome, you can just look at them killing each other 😂

[fervent cobalt]

I love the room with the heavies fighting lol

[spare cove]

I just want April 23rd to hurry up

[zinc gust]

how does the global event work??

[hybrid ore]

Having a bunch of preppers being officially endorsed by MSV was not on my bingo card today.

@sturdy field Open your Menu > Seasons (top right), go into it, then "activate global event".
The details for the event itself are within the menu.

Oi Rivens I’m plotting to steal you for my fren you shall become one with her watch

I’m going full rouge

[lunar hare]

So. Golden Bullet.

When an enemy shines gold ISAC will tell you "Golden Bullet being assembled by enemy". If you kill that enemy that has GB active, you'll get the power up, but in order to maintain it you have to kill enemies so you don't run out of boosted RPM and all the other GB perks.

[zinc gust]

Does that mean we are fueled by deth for the perks?

[lunar hare]

in fewer words yeah

[hybrid ore]

Be careful not to oversaturate one colour, and remember: light taps with the brush speak volumes.

[real creek]

Their souls are payment.

[lunar hare]

Only humans afaik

[zinc gust]

Of course of course, but you shall help her since she’s brand new, adventure times ahead!

[zinc gust]

Does that mean we can say the quan chi line?

[hybrid ore]

As cool as voicing an AI in div2 would be, I'm not really "talky", so I'd be more text based.
Tell you what, I'll do the new Snitch Cards. I have loads of ways of calling ||LMB ||a bunch of jerks.

[zinc gust]

Don’t worry you’ll get along just fine cuz she’s the same way

You’ll be the dynamic duo

Also imma say the line Your soul is mine

And that is how the chat died

[small spear]

let sleeping dogs lie

[unique bramble]

Going rouge 💅

[zinc gust]

Yep the souls are mine

And so is that other AI whose lesbian

[trim elbow]

Is anyone here

[scarlet musk]

look under the rug

[trim elbow]

lol ok sorry was just looking for some help

[scarlet musk]

try in a lfg channel 👌

[zinc gust]

Look at those console peoples

[scarlet musk]

this pesky directive bug is really annoying

[soft barn]

Why does Ubisoft focus on fixing stuff like the Shooting Range for Journey ease yet doesn’t fix the constant Countdown Error that boots people out of the game before the extraction… Let alone the open world aggro disaster.

[tiny oar]

cause the pb isnt the same and doesnt require the same time and energy to fix

if a bug is still ingame, its mostly known by the devs but they cant fix it for now

[viral glacier]

With?

[fathom raft]

What’s the best current 5 directive builds?

[junior mortar]

Hey guys... might there be some kind of bug in the week 3 scouts?

[hybrid ore]

@fathom raft Probably a Hotshot build, there's a guide for it over in #td2-build-advice > 📌 > spreadsheet 2 > builds > sniper setups.

[junior mortar]

I should eliminate Black Tusks in Downtown East, but no kill registers for the mission?

[covert epoch]

Hi i am bloody new.... can someone Help how to Start the Hunt for Kelso?

[hybrid ore]

@junior mortar It can't be within missions, and has to be within that specific zone.
@covert epoch Each Week you do the "scout" (map > manhunt tab), and then once all are released, the final mission is unlocked.

[junior mortar]

Ty Rivens: I was in downtown east, did a black tusk bounty and no kill registered

[hybrid ore]

Very odd. Make sure you're on the correct step, and then re-log Ubi-connect, just in case.

[junior mortar]

Guess I'm doing that... thx

[covert epoch]

What are the Scout Missions? Bountyhunt?

[gloomy venture]

Did anyone else not get the Twtich drops in game after claiming them on Twitch?

[hybrid ore]

@covert epoch Each week there's a new Scout, it has 3 activities. Each week is a different configuration.
e.g. this week the first one is completing a Bounty within Downtown East.
@gloomy venture IIRC the cosmetic stuff goes straight to your menu, without having a "new!" icon there.

The caches can take a while to filter in.

[gloomy venture]

Oh yeah, I did actually get the patch and skin, but not the exotic and named caches. 🤔 Weird

[tender wave]

lots of people reporting the same, including myself

[wanton condor]

Guys, while the x5 xp event is running, don't put points from a second character into the watch. You will lose SHD levels because the points are counted towards the event. I lost 860 SHD levels today and am done with the 5x xp event. :(

[hybrid ore]

I had mine randomly show up in my Caches list about 46 minutes later.
So YMMV.

[gloomy venture]

Might just be a backlog of drops depending on how they handle the Twitch connection and drops. Hopefully they fix it.

[frosty mortar]

Am I a lover boy or a sigma

[wanton condor]

well, if you put 100 points into the clock for a second character, for example, the event counts up 100 levels! so you can no longer get the 100 levels with your main account!

[scarlet musk]

because there is a 1000 level cap

that's the important part here

and it's apparently shared and counted via the shd points too

[fathom geyser]

Hey what’s up agents new to discord just wanted to say hey

[low plank]

if only the xp event worked on infinite levels 🤔

[molten spire]

it already encourages enough bucket use as is

[azure lintel]

Why did they put literal mazes in some of these bounties like what the hell man

[scarlet musk]

right ? drives me crazy too

I start to know them but some are crazy stupid

[azure lintel]

I might just have to leave and forget about it tbh

[hybrid ore]

If you can't figure it out, try taking a step back and thinking about it in terms of locks/switches.

[cinder nacelle]

Yeah it can wind me up as well. But you do have to think about it like the people you shoot are normally guarding the way in so it should be near them.

[tender wave]

The place in west potomac park is a pain because there are so many different routes around it and the game seems to randomise it (opening some doors and closing others) for each different bounty. If you pay attention though you'll get to grips with it after a while.

[zinc bramble]

So this fix for scout mission 3 will be next week after mission 4 comes out well ain't that nice lol.

[scarlet musk]

yeah it's okay tbh, who cares if you make it today or in 6 days

[quick dagger]

I got supply drops to spawn Black Tusk enemies, so it is possible to get scout 3 done

[zinc bramble]

I wonder can you agro them into downtown east and get it to count haha

[lean zinc]

Hi how everyone doing today

[hybrid gust]

Puck, waste over 60 Exocomponent and still no sight of DtoC

[scarlet musk]

Wow that's... a lot

i never used more than 5 i think

[hybrid gust]

Finally after I type that lol, on my 61 XD

From 331 to 270

[tiny oar]

damn

i got a raid group for ih, now i want to do the project for regulus, but it requires to farm ih raid

im big sad

[full zinc]

Quit belly aching and get it done

[scarlet musk]

maybe a dumb question but for the twitch drops, do you have to watch the full 3 hours straight or can you pause ? ^^'

[full zinc]

I bet youll spend more time complaining than it would take to get the 3 ih runs complete

[viral grove]

can someone help me with the trophy "hijack an extraction in an occupied dark zone"? just need this for the platinum...

wont take long, five minutes tops

[tiny oar]

the more i learn about it the less i want to

[full zinc]

[tiny oar]

like who tf enjoy this

at least someone gifted me the ravenous

thats a win

[kind veldt]

Heres what happens

Someone explains everything in the group

Looks at you amd say "kill anything that comes out of this door, and when we say X, come to this spot"

Repeat it for each boss encounter

That was my raiding experience

Now im just missing ravenous but aint gonna lose sleep over it

[lean zinc]

I'm shd 52 now on the division 2

[hybrid gust]

Are there any scope for pistal that would allow like dot while ADS? IDK why, when I use pistal, 1 of few weapon I barely ever land headshot

[hot aspen]

Anyone on Xbox XP farming rn ?

[kind veldt]

Get the xbox role and try the #lfg-xbox

[kind veldt]

you mean like the sniper ones? i dont believe so

[small spear]

the only pistol with the center reticle is regulus

[hybrid gust]

Yeah I don't know what range I have to be I use big shield on close range trying to aim for headshot but somehow it didn't land so not sure if it lag or what wish there are ADS that would help making aim headshot easier, but guess not.

[hexed torrent]

Good evening, I have a question. Is it against the rules if I put a link to a YouTube video in the TD2 general chat?

[small spear]

if it's for self promo, yes

[hexed torrent]

I made the video myself, but I'm not making any money from it. I just wanted to share it with the world. Basically, it's more like a song that plays while a picture is shown.

[small spear]

they're pretty strict about it. i don't make the rules

[hexed torrent]

OK, it doesn't matter. Thank you anyway for answering me. Have a nice evening^^

[cloud badge]

Did the devs say why we aren't gonna get a new raid with this upcoming dlc? Is it just too many resources or were they not really that popular with the whole player base?

[tiny oar]

yeah its forbidden cause too many people used to self promote and it was a nightmare

[hybrid gust]

I wish this black tusk activity been delete from daily weekly project 😛 Hate this RNG and hope it pop

[undone timber]

Shame people never stick around to learn

Its way more fun learning all the roles

[kind veldt]

i prefer my incursions

[tiny oar]

i mean, they wanted to speedrun, not to teach me

[undone timber]

Iron horse is some of the most fun I've had on the game

PL too to be fair I have like 150 clears now

[tiny oar]

well that was my first

and i killed maybe 5npc total xd

i really did nothing

[fathom raft]

Are directives bugged?

[spare cove]

Fragile Armor is

[kind veldt]

scavanged skills and special ammo are also a bit jumbled up

[lucid solar]

What is a fast way to gain watch levels

[lunar hare]

one method pinned #ask-td2-community

[hearty steppe]

On average, how long does the Incursion typically take to complete?

[honest hull]

Did anyone else not get the week 2 exotic cache?

[zinc gust]

I return

[kind veldt]

new or random group would say something like 20-30m

[hearty steppe]

For learning

[zinc gust]

Wanna see some real speed bish?

Loads up the sub-machine gun glass cannon build

Dakka and nothing but the Dakka so help me Dakka

[tiny oar]

if you go blind, you'll have a rough time, and will spend more than an hour easily

[fathom raft]

What’s best control point loop

[lunar hare]

The ones that offer the minimum amount of Travel Time and Clear Time.

Some examples are Sleeping Giant and (as my name says) Sinkhole is my personal favorite.

[keen osprey]

Are you wanting to do them for xp gain or?

Navy Plaza is best for xp:time ratio as long as it remains occupied by the true sons. Use determined and once you get the last enemy killed you run south to the main road where there's two drains where the incoming enemies hail from. Determined build will make light work of them

[quiet mauve]

For PlayStation this works fine I’ve noticed btw. I always run 5 directives and I’ve not noticed any issues with it lately. Could be different for other consoles tho don’t get me wrong.

[kind veldt]

the issue is activating one and getting the other

[tiny oar]

outcast cp are easier cause no helmet

[lunar hare]

me and @full zinc have made the maths and Navy plaza takes a hell lot of Travel Time rather than the options I mentioned and are written in the pin, so, time wise, it's not as effective with it being ~30 secs more

[tiny oar]

but their placement isnt the best

[lunar hare]

tru
outcasts are the best

[fathom raft]

Where is navy plaza at

[tiny oar]

too far

[quiet mauve]

We had just ammo and fog on earlier cause I was helping a clan member level up and it didn’t do it.

[keen osprey]

Beside view point museum in federal triangle

[keen osprey]

I've never found any issues with it as I just spawn at the last stop safe house and run down, over in no time, less spread out aswel as they only spawn from left or right of the fountain and then left or right drain cover. I guess it's all preference

[fathom raft]

So what do you do sinkhole then reset?

[tiny oar]

do the other close ones and then reset

like the choke

[full zinc]

Sleeping giant is around 90m from the safehouse you spawn and all the enemies come to you while attacking and defending. That's kinda why it's really fast xp

Also attacking and defending natural chokepoints

No need to run to a sewer. They all right there

[astral jacinth]

Where’s the Blacktusk in downtown east

[kind veldt]

it's random

most people just cleaned their control points to see if they spawn in the random activities

[icy pollen]

just got to level 40, should I run with some global directives on?

[lunar hare]

if you want to, I'd recommend running Challenging difficulty with a Striker's build first, get to know the enemies and when you feel confident enough you can put Directives.

[round oar]

I've been checking a build adjacent to the DUA entrance to see if a named Black Tusk group will spawn in there

[fathom raft]

How often do the chest in control points reset

[marsh heath]

daily - at reset

same for most open world chests - be they in missions or otherwise

unrealted question - how do we check for the golden bullet missions/challenges? Heard a few folks mention them but its my first time with them

[kind veldt]

season menu

[marsh heath]

ty

[fathom raft]

Burden of truth season page. Tab over to event timeline. Then go to golden bullet

[harsh jewel]

If you guy can and this is for the developers fix the lighting and allow us to shot out the lights and they stay off in the division 3 please

[marsh heath]

literally the one palce I didn't check lol...

[kind veldt]

depends on the source of the light, i always shoot the lights in that conference room in capitol mission

hate those blinding lights

[harsh jewel]

In summit they are blinding as hell

[icy pollen]

and does changing the world difficulty change the "story" difficulty? I've been doing all the BT strongholds on hard and now that is no longer an option, just story

[azure lintel]

quick question guys

[full zinc]

no, only slow questions

[azure lintel]

started a new agent to play with my friends who are new to the game, trying to do the easy hunter puzzles to get them a mask. None of them are working?

[small spear]

did you complete the story or used the wony boost?

[azure lintel]

Ah is that what needs to happen

[spare cove]

No, you can play the story difficulty without any change regardless of world difficulty.

The higher mission difficulties only cuts some dialogue for pacing

[small spear]

yes

[azure lintel]

we're still pre lvl 30

[small spear]

yeah you need to finish the campaign or use the boost

[azure lintel]

Ah makes sense thank you

[keen osprey]

Has anyone else noticed the weird behaviour where the enemies still exhibit the frenzie modifer, it seems to still be active when the global event is on?

The enemies in my sessions are doing more damage than they should and they're also moving quicker. I've restarted and done the usual on and off again but they're still like that

[bitter bane]

Anyone have a clan I can join I’m trying to join one I play on Xbox

[full zinc]

#td2-clan-recruitment

[midnight dune]

I have bounty 14 minutes now

[lunar hare]

aaaand?

[tight elbow]

I know they are updating Easy Anti-Cheat and all and that some programs may be affected (Like MSI Afterburner and RTSS). Is there a plan to fix these in the future?
Since with RTSS, it takes ages to boot up the game.

[midnight dune]

I thought you guys want some bounty

[full zinc]

its just the wrong channel for lfg. #lfg-playstation for finding other agents

[midnight dune]

Ok thanks

[limpid pond]

is there a known issue with BT Kills in Downtown East not counting properly?

ive killed 8 and progress is still at 0

[polar lion]

is there a glitch at the Retrieve the Pentagon project list on the roof top

[hybrid gust]

R U FREAKING KIDDING ME lol just spent 61 exo to get God roll today then it freaking drop the same exo with god roll on that same day

[polar lion]

cant kill the drone at the end

[limpid pond]

nevermind, logged out, logged back in, i have 13 of 20. visual bug

[kind veldt]

disable modifier, the boss can get the buff and has so much HP that it becomes unkillable

[limpid pond]

^ ^ ^

that really needs to be fixed

[opaque ruin]

Is Provocator in the general loot pool now or is that Theo manhunt the only way to get it?

[kind veldt]

it's already on the list for the next patch

[limpid pond]

good

[dim glen]

Y6S3
I tried twice to do the:
“Neutralize the raven in manning national zoo by first destroying his ammo pack.”

I read that I need to it go to the map, hover over Manning (but don't travel there) i change the mission difficulty to Normal/Hard and at the bottom of the screen for mission mode
Which Yesterday I played the two mission type. Manhunt, invaded , so how I’m get to Raven?

[limpid pond]

Raven, isnt that the Minigun Guy?

[dim glen]

What do you mean?

[limpid pond]

well there are only 4 NPC's that have ammo packs, Chunga Minigun guys, big hukling dudes with miniguns, LMG chunga Guys with a belt fed to backpack M60, Grenadiers with ammo pack and your basic LMG Guy with a small ammo pack on his back, i forget specifically who "Raven" is, but thats a named enemy

"Ammo Pack" would mean its a LMG or Grenadier. LMG Guy is easy, just break his belt feed and then rush behind him when he kneels down to fix it aiming for the ammo backpack. Grenadier guy is a bit harder you need to status him to get him to freeze, and then get his grenade pack on his back

if you cant get behind him, the belt can be broken infinite number of times

leave him for the last NPC

[dim glen]

Two or three times I played Manhunt and invaded mode. (I can’t upload screenshots)
The mission name was “Black Tusk” other players says, that the mission name need to be “The Raven”.

[limpid pond]

the Raven is on Normal, Story Mode, with Emiline Shaw, thats why you cant find him. he is a LMG Guy with a RPK74.

i had to go to the D2 Wiki,

https://thedivision.fandom.com/wiki/The_Raven

get him to lay down and shoot prone, then kill the ammo backpack on his butt

then kill him

he is the first named enemy after the monorail scene

FINALLY, jeez, finding BT in a non-invaded area is a real PITA

[dim glen]

How to kill “The Raven” I see on YouTube.
Actually in PS when I click on button “Toggle mission mode” I see the story mode. But the Stage 4 says play on normal.

[limpid pond]

have you played through the entire story yet?

because if you only have "Story mode" you are not at End Game

click on Story and see if it lets you switch to Normal

[cold narwhal]

So glad the same stupid golden bullet bug is back from last time.

[limpid pond]

what bug is that?

[dim glen]

Yes, many missions, repeated with all sorts of small "renovations" in the game.

[cold narwhal]

After an enemy has a golden bullet, any icons of archetype or status or hp or anything disappears from them permanently

[limpid pond]

okay thats a first, i just killed a hunter, and in 5 seconds another one spawned down the street

[limpid pond]

never noticed, it, probably too quick killing them, even without, im doing almost 2mil dmg with elmos on strikers. lol

[limpid pond]

server restarting? Hotfix?

[cold narwhal]

Yes youre too good at the game for bugs, of course

No its just a bug and since they didn’t bother fixing it last golden bullet i doubt they will now

[rapid prawn]

That bug is on the trello, but yeah guess a fix isn't a top priority atm :/

[tardy sedge]

backpack maybe this week ? lol

[outer cipher]

is there maintenance today?

[young mantle]

Urban mdr and golden bullet are a menace to society when combined

[lunar hare]

no

[outer cipher]

i keep getting mike-01

[zinc bramble]

Thank god done with scout 3.

[sand tusk]

Is there any maintenance right now? Can’t login to the game

[fresh haven]

what ever happened to resurgence

[patent peak]

anyone knows how to get coyote's mask?

[hazy rain]

Summit, Count down, Have the Masks Selected

Fastest ways Ive gotten jt

[autumn fossil]

Anyone know what's the deal with Special ammo / scavanger skills?
I turn spacial ammo on i get scavanger skills.
And if i turn scavanger skill on... i get scavanger skills.

[scarlet musk]

Yep it's a bug, just do the opposite

[autumn fossil]

I just said that it happens on both sides.
If i put special ammo i get scavanger skills.
And if i put scavanger skills i get scavanger skills

[scarlet musk]

oh sorry i misread

that's... odd ?

[rugged copper]

I go to tinkering station, library, select my equipments and run 'Extract Internal', what really does happen by doing it?

Should I be doing it with all my equipments?

[fluid meadow]

It'll take that attribute and store it in the library where you can put that attribute on other pieces

Do it if the piece is a godroll piece of shit

[tender wave]

It destroys that piece of equipment in the process

[rugged copper]

I did it with all my equipments and all of my equipments from inventory are gone except the ones I had put on💀

Idk if I did the right thing or no cuz its hella confusing

[fluid meadow]

It's better for the long run

[rugged copper]

Ohh ok!

Some areas of my map (for eg -East mall) have red outlines whereas the federal triangle got white outlines, does it signify anything?

[tender wave]

Do it with items you don't want to keep but have a max roll on one of their stats

[tender wave]

The red outlines means it's invaded by the black tusk, so you'll get more BT activities. If you clear all the invaded missions it'll go back to normal

[rugged copper]

One more thing, I went to the crafting station and saw some cool ass guns there but it all seems to be locked and it says 'Acquire the specific exotic to be able to purchase ...... '

[rugged copper]

More BT activities? So this is neverending? And how about the white outlines?

[tender wave]

Activities respawn over time, so in that sense it's never ending.
White outline just means that area isn't invaded so you won't find many BT, just the usual factions

[elfin verge]

Ooh I logged in and received the Anniversary Backpack!!

[dull cypress]

agent backpack is live!!

[keen osprey]

The little level screen is animated too. Nice

[south topaz]

yes only a light shows to show they have the bullet its weird

[hollow hill]

Just log in and you get it?

[keen osprey]

Deliveries section

[elfin verge]

Yep it went into the mailbox

[hollow hill]

Got it 🔥

Thank you guys. I'll log in at the end of the day 😂 then log off

[keen osprey]

Weird how this was reported before and they never fixed it. I'd imagine the timeframe for a fix will be similar to that of the corrosive damage from reanimated hurting NPCS.

[keen osprey]

Golden bullet and x5 xp would like to have a word with you

[hollow hill]

Sounds like to me I'll be enabling golden bullet but still using the same lame ass 1 shot build to clear control points. Farm stars and levels 😂

[south topaz]

so is the backpack a skin to be equiped With anything?

[tidal lion]

Does anyone have a black tusk bounty or BT thing in down town east? i cant find any

[hollow hill]

Yay the same thing over and over! I'm shd 13.9k I honestly don't even need 5x XP nor golden bullet 😭

[keen osprey]

Yes it's apparel only with the ability to apply a dye

[south topaz]

that's me also 😂 i made a umbra bullet king to try with it though

[young escarp]

Hi all - I've returned to the game after a little while away with the intention of getting the platinum. One of the trophies I need is called 'big game hunter.' from the Reddit it looks like I need to complete the specific liberation bounties. Am I being incredibly dumb, or can I not see most of them on the map? I can see Lafayette's regulars in southwest for example but not meatwagon in downtown east.

Does that mean I've probably done meatwagon at some point in the past and only need to and finish the final couple of liberation bounties for the trophy?

[hollow hill]

It's definitely fun my buddy runs that for both pvp and pve depending how you set it up

[hollow hill]

Current bug right now

Sorry, bug feature I mean

[keen osprey]

There's a premium version of the backpack that's likely coming at some point. the style is similar to that of the ODEA Cowboy Backpack where the logo is replaced with the SHD Eagle and a larger LCD panel with your level.

[hollow hill]

I've heard dropping the difficulty down to challenging should work at getting them to spawn

[tidal lion]

iv dropped it and raised it and i still cant get any

[hollow hill]

Unless that's for something else? Ask different sources besides me. I took advantage of the seasonal journey exploit and maxed my pass out so I didn't have to go thru the bugged journey still

[tidal lion]

its for the scout thing

[hollow hill]

Also pretty sure it's a known issue right now

[tidal lion]

doesnt suprise me if it was a bug its what ubisoft is known for

[hollow hill]

Occasionally BT bosses and patrols will spawn. Just patrol the area. I've heard a few reports saying people did that and it worked

[elfin verge]

The best way I found was to clear all the control points and then do supply drops - they will be black tusk. Two of those was enough for the scout obj

[hollow hill]

That's how every update of this game goes tho 😂 new update > game breaking features that either hinder or boost progression > people exploit it or simply give up bc game is broken > new update drops > repeat cycle from beginning

[tender wave]

Green activities like hostage rescues and supply drops have a high chance of being BT, the hostage rescues also give bounties, so more BT to kill

[tidal lion]

ill see how well it goes cause iv reset the map 4 times and nothing

unless my luck is just that bad XD

[elfin verge]

Ok so this time don't reset, get the control points cleared and then see if a supply drop comes in

[hollow hill]

There's still a ton of time left before the end of the season. Honestly I recommend you play a more put together game at the moment

But definitely give their advice a try before that lol

[tidal lion]

i stopped playing this game for about 2 weeks just getting back into it

[hollow hill]

I occasionally hop on now, but I've been living over on Project Zomboid and playing with my older brother and my friend

Solid game, recommend it for anyone. Good mod support too and server support! Even has division mods 👀

[keen osprey]

Wit how this game is set up on a technical level it doesn't surprise me that this sill happens.

Most of the oldest code blocks and features were designed in a way to not require idents/explanations for any future programmers to come along and understand things - it's one of the main reasons why the spec weapon revamp was put on ice - employees that designed it never intended for any of it to be changed or adapted.

[hollow hill]

I remember devs said they were gonna give us a revamp then said "actually, you know what, we have a better idea:"

Idea being to completely throw the idea out the window and focus on other stuff

Specialists need a major revamp but let's be honest that's just not gonna happen at this point

[keen osprey]

They said "fk the skill trees, let's make a rogue lite mode and abandon it after it releases"

[hollow hill]

Still littered with features

[keen osprey]

All I wanted for spec weapon was some QOL. They never really made it clear what their intentions behind it was. Just some excuse of "it wasn't going the way we wanted" the day Yannick said that I was like SO MAKE IT GO IN THE DIRECTION YOU DO WANT IT.

[tidal lion]

thank you it worked i got some to spawn

[keen osprey]

Bump the damage numberss. Allow us to swap spec weapons without returning to base. Allow skill variants to be non restricted to spec weapons. Doesn't seem like a big ask really

I've only ever respecd for the weapon damage bonuses. I completely forgot that there's a limit on some of them

Indie developer

[fading cave]

yall shoulda made the anniversary backpack one shoulder like d1

[cyan narwhal]

i got one

[tiny oar]

You can swap spec weapon with loadouts

[mental stump]

Hello, did anyone else got banned for no reason at all?

[dapper atlas]

You mean the game is telling you that you are banned when you try to log in?

[tiny oar]

you dont get banned for no reason, did you receive an email ?

[mental stump]

Yes exactly

[mental stump]

Yes i did 3 of them but its empty

Im playing solo only, not playing pvp at all, i really didnt violate any of the game rules

[dapper atlas]

@mental stump Do you have Twitter?

[mental stump]

No

[tiny oar]

what are the emails ?

[mental stump]

Check dm

[sage sorrel]

What were The devs thinking about when they created the weekly missions. Omg, my booty hurts so bad

🥹

[hexed sentinel]

bro that backpack looks so swag

[scarlet musk]

anniversary ?

[hexed sentinel]

yes

[remote pecan]

someone watched to many hours of cs lootbox openings with StatTrack weapons

[scarlet musk]

how do you get it ?

[hexed sentinel]

either way it looks cool to me

[hexed sentinel]

check your stash

[remote pecan]

#news-and-announcements message

[scarlet musk]

thanks 👌

[unique bramble]

I hope the Lexington effect doesn't happen with a lot of people not having this backpack in the stash

[iron gust]

It won't, it's in special deliveries

[tender wave]

The grant is going to last until end of May, and they've promised to put reminders about it. No doubt some will still manage to miss out and be upset though.

[unique bramble]

I mean, anything is possible, the stash is not very friendly with full inventory on the programming for some reason.

[ivory tulip]

This backpack is there for everyone right? Regardless of if you did the Twitch drops?

[hexed sentinel]

yes

[ivory tulip]

Ok just making sure because Ubi isn’t amazing at explaining things

[scarlet musk]

I didn't get the exotic and named caches from the twitch drops 😦

[patent peak]

is jefferson trade center boss still drop coyote mask?

[iron gust]

It is but I don't think it'll be much of an issue since you have to claim it
None of that "first login gets it" or "full inventory so it didn't drop"
It's a cosmetic anyway so maybe that's why

[ivory tulip]

I would assume, either way you have a higher chance of pulling it out of the summit

That being if you target masks

[tender wave]

They do but it's one drop chance per run of the mission so it's generally faster to just run countdown, like most loot

[molten spire]

Countdown is better still than Summit due to sheer drop rate and the ability to buy exotic caches with the reward currency

[ivory tulip]

I always forget to mention countdown, still used to my old ways 🤦‍♂️

[tender wave]

Summit just has painfully low drop rates even with a ton of directives

[ivory tulip]

I guess I’ve just been absurdly lucky

[unique bramble]

People usually do the floor 10 farm method

[undone timber]

Its only really ever good on legendary for farming bighorn and mods

[azure lintel]

Textile vendor just spawned for me

[reef geyser]

Yea but honestly your better off doing Countdown because

• Hunter Kills
• Tons of Enemies and High Loot Drops
• Each Countdown picks a random faction, perfect if you need to kill the True Sons or Hyenas for a challenge

[ivory tulip]

Not to mention countdown is actually fun

[remote pecan]

this bothers me a while
I don't really get the decision behind that, you'll get more drops and you can share them vs. solo play
I think in a fair and balanced way, you should get the same amount of drops no matter of group or solo play

[reef geyser]

Sharing?
What are you a commie

Go Go ROLLY POLLY

[unique bramble]

Not to mention that the countdown soundtrack made by Sasha Dikiciyan is 🔥

[remote pecan]

sharing is caring

[ivory tulip]

I think I’ve yet to hear a bad soundtrack in the entirety of this franchise

[reef geyser]

Nu uh, not going rouge is caring

[woven pumice]

This game lol, my xp event bugged and now i cant farm my xp or ge! Ubislop

[autumn fossil]

Brooklyn better give us new skills. Or at least the option to equip skills from same category..
Idk about you guys but I for one am tired of getting similar exotics that no one wanted in the first place.

[ivory tulip]

Just gimme a new gun man

I’ll take anything at this point

[autumn fossil]

Cooler 2.0

[ivory tulip]

It’s blue this time 🗣🔥

[autumn fossil]

Shoots yellow water at people.

[ivory tulip]

You know what I’ll take it

[reef geyser]

Here is a AR-18 that shoots Hot Pockets

[unique bramble]

It shoots scalding acid and it will apply burn and poison on your enemies

[ivory tulip]

Peak weaponry

[reef geyser]

I think what we all need is a China Lake Launcher

[autumn fossil]

But for real now. Skills need some reworking / rebalacing.
When was the last time you saw some one use Heal Trap.. or Remote pulse... or even the bombadier drone.

[ivory tulip]

Lemme think, uhhh… never.

[autumn fossil]

They keep adding new stuff no one wanted thinking we will just forget about the stuff that is broken.

[ivory tulip]

They seem to be a little better at keeping up with the bugs since First Rouge’s launch back in June of last year

But then again that was only because that season was bugged for the first half of its duration

[autumn fossil]

And its not even skills, Some gear sets are just useless atm. True patriot / Rigger / Ortiz ..

[ivory tulip]

Worst part is that it’s not even the fact that most gear sets are bad, it’s that the good sets are just better in every way possible

[autumn fossil]

They nerfed true patriot a while back and added sets that just outperform it.. meanwhile they just forgot about True patriot

[ivory tulip]

True patriot had its time I guess, I’m calling it striker’s gonna get hit with another nerf

[autumn fossil]

They wont nerf striker. To many cultits will complain if they do.

[ivory tulip]

That’s a good point

[keen osprey]

Ortiz would have been good if they just applied the buffs to the turret directly. The cooldown is laughable.

[patent peak]

i'll try, thanks for the advice

[ivory tulip]

Sometimes I’m ashamed of running a striker build

[autumn fossil]

The turret itself is a bad redesign of the original D1 turret.
limiting it to a cone..
What's laughable is that Artificer dosen't refresh the skill duration.

[vivid wigeon]

Guys u can get the rogue BP trophies even without buying the whole bundle. I just bought the keener outfit without the weapon skin and I got the BP trophy. Now u know... XD

[ivory tulip]

I did the same thing, I’ll have to check my stash when I get home

[scarlet musk]

what's so special about this trophy ? 😮

[undone timber]

They're cute little chibis of all the legacy rogues

[iron gust]

A distraction tbh the best BP trophy is now limited to new players who get referred

[vivid wigeon]

Basically nothing, but a nice addition...

[scarlet musk]

oh okay thanks !

[snow cypress]

Mannnn I wish that anniversary backpack existed irl, I’d buy that in a heartbeat

[scarlet musk]

with your... age on it ?

[snow cypress]

?

The new division anniversary backpack

[scarlet musk]

take a closer look at it

[snow cypress]

Yeah it says you shd level

[scarlet musk]

maybe it was funnier in my head...

[remote pecan]

nah I laughed 🙂

[snow cypress]

I must be missing something cause I’m still lost

[tender wave]

What would it say on that screen if you had it irl?

[snow cypress]

Ooooooo I get it now

[tiny oar]

it should say how many hours i wasted on gaming

[remote pecan]

and you would walk around in public with it?

[snow cypress]

I don’t even wanna know how many I’ve put in 😭

[snow cypress]

Yes, and also use it for my cosplay

[scarlet musk]

?

[tiny oar]

i guess we were too much off topic

[scarlet musk]

ooh right yeah sorry

[crystal jewel]

What are the objectives this week for the scout?

[hybrid ore]

||Downtown East:
-Bounty.
-20x Black Tusk kills.
-Red Dragon CP.||

[scarlet musk]

the ||second one ||is a bit tricky tbh

[hybrid ore]

It can be, but there's ways to cheese it.

If absolutely everything else somehow doesn't work: ||the wandering heavies count. ||

[reef geyser]

Does it update if your SHD level go up?

[reef geyser]

Just ||do a BT Bounty, it might work||

[shrewd violet]

Hey agents, I´m trying to get three guila guard blueprints that are missing in my crafting table. Injust found out they aren´t there. I´ve tried CP on Lv. 3 and 4 but I only get Materials and Field Recon Data. I´ve been playing for 4 years now an thought I got the OG blueprints. Does anyone have a tip what i could do to obtain said blueprints?

[scarlet musk]

I don't have one, but i just wait a week, i think they are looking into it ?

[hybrid ore]

Yeah it's going to be patched on the 18th IIRC.

[reef geyser]

Ok ||then do a Invaded Mission then ||

[scarlet musk]

duh

[hybrid ore]

@reef geyser Missions are not counted in the same zone.

[reef geyser]

Damn

[hybrid ore]

@shrewd violet What's your platform?

[scarlet musk]

And there isn't one anyway

[unique bramble]

This region is not invaded this week bro

[shrewd violet]

PC

[hybrid ore]

@unique bramble You can still get bounties if you complete activities there, sometimes they can spawn in a BT one.

[vivid wigeon]

Hm, those should drop on level 3 and 4... in the yellow stash in the supply room

[unique bramble]

Only 4 iirc

[shrewd violet]

But It shoud say so when you hover over then on the map like under rewards saying "crafting blueprint?

[hybrid ore]

@shrewd violet If you check your Crafting Table, you can see if a BP exists, where it drops.

[kind veldt]

not all gear has all blueprints

[shrewd violet]

my clan mate has 3 Gutlla Guard prints, I don´t so ??

[vivid wigeon]

Yeah it should, but could be a bug...

[remote pecan]

you'll get a lot from doing CPs and most of the other stuff is from Descent

[shrewd violet]

hm, as far as I know Descent only has the named stuff

[reef geyser]

I logged in but how do you get the new bag, the one with the SHD Levels?

[remote pecan]

did you exhaust the CP blueprint pool?

[remote pecan]

pay 20$
jokes aside, should be in your mailbox or special delivery tab

[shrewd violet]

How come that my clan made has three Guilla Guard blueprints? For some reason My "Stage Left" and "Lefty" blueprints are grayed out too despite the fact that I completed Season 10. Honestly I have no clue what is goin on

[kind veldt]

the two weapons are from descent their blueprints

[shrewd violet]

Ohhh, thx for clearing that! Cheers

[kind veldt]

i dont have a perfect memory but i know some of the base game brands didnt have blueprints, i wasnt sure guilla guard was one of them

i'll open my game and check if i see anything

[shrewd violet]

Thanks mate, much appreciated!!

[reef geyser]

I mean ngl I would pay 20$ for it either in game….or triple that for a irl version

[kind veldt]

i do have guilla guard gear, and i havent done anything special in years

specially descent

make sure you did all sidemissions and lv4 control points, otherwise i dont remember guilla being a special case for blueprints

[shrewd violet]

Ok, Thank you for taking a look. All side missions are done said the Progression tab. So I´ll redo all CPs then to see what turns up. not fun though.

[remote pecan]

check the rewards hovering over a CP, it shows if you still get crafting BPs from it

[shrewd violet]

I did that, but it only said matreials an FRD. This leads to me wondering whats wrong

[remote pecan]

hm, ... difficulty? probably you already have all obtainable ones

[iron gust]

Does the season pass have the refactor blueprints?
Not sure if they're obtainable

[kind veldt]

i think so

i saw them on my blueprint list

dont have virtuosos blueprints

and didnt see them last season

[upbeat moss]

Is there a problem with the Twitch drops that started on Monday? They are not showing in the game!

[iron gust]

Hmm weird don't see a way to obtain them and nothing in the craft station
Refactor is kinda useful to craft
But probably not available just like virtuoso

Weird because the named monkey gear you can get from reconstructed caches but not the sets

[kind veldt]

well they were on my crafting station, just virtuoso is missing

[iron gust]

You had the blueprint or just listed?
Did you complete the season track?

[opaque ruin]

Two questions:

• Are there tactical assessment blueprints?
• If so are they gated at all or just extremely rare?

[kind veldt]

sigh let me open my game again to triple check all of that

[kind veldt]

havent completed the track yet

[iron gust]

Thanks
Weird
I'm going to guess it's a journey reward, nothing else makes sense
Do you have shiny monkey blueprints?

[kind veldt]

you mean these things?

[tiny oar]

bird flexing the ability to post screenshots while we, the populace cant

[kind veldt]

for the greater good

be happy i dont dump my touhou playlist

[opaque ruin]

The tactical assessments. Like True Sons, Hyenas, etc.

[kind veldt]

yeah

[opaque ruin]

Okay so they do exist.

[kind veldt]

they might be lv4 CP blueprints

[iron gust]

Thanks again guess I gotta grind the journey 💀

[kind veldt]

okay that would explain why i DONT have the virtuoso gear set blueprints then

fudge i thought i could escape from doing journeys

[tiny oar]

you cant, you're trapped, like the rest of us

[iron gust]

I don't have virtuoso either
The journey is my guess not sure tbh

[kind veldt]

i definetly didnt bother with last season journey

[iron gust]

Journey rewards say gearset item so I assume blueprint

There's nothing in the season track that suggests blueprints

[tiny oar]

i'd put the skiner gif saying "pathetic" here if i could

cause im a nice person like that

[kind veldt]

As tempting as it is to flex on you by doing exactly that

Nah

[tiny oar]

in your honor i'll be shooting birds ingame

[shrewd violet]

Tried Lv. 3 amd 4. I´ll do this again, maybe i missed one(?) not sure anymore.

[shrewd violet]

I only got the Patch and the WP Skin not the boxes. Maybe something is wrong

[hybrid ore]

It's just a delay, as mentioned before.
Give it time.

As for CP blueprints: you're guaranteed to get one if one exists, so if you are getting nothing: you're done.

Just make sure you check the Crafting Table, it lists where everything drops.

[dim glen]

For the agents who are roaming around downtown east for black tusk activity or bounty, devs are working on it ...

[ivory tulip]

What’s up with downtown East?

[shrewd violet]

No BT NPCs atm

[ivory tulip]

Huh that’s weird

[dim glen]

Black Tusk is missing in scout 3

[ivory tulip]

Ah so that’s why people were saying scout 3 is bugged

Makes sense now

[kind veldt]

they can appear but it's RNG

it isnt properly easyto do as the previous ones

[dim glen]

A fix planned on march 18

I want to upload a screenshot but I can’t, who is charging?

[ivory tulip]

You can’t send images in general if that’s what you’re talking about

[icy cypress]

Hey guys anyone tell me how to get the capacitor exotic ar

[ivory tulip]

Summit challenges

Gotta do 5 I believe? It’ll tell you in the menu

[dim glen]

Usually do the challenge difficult and look for in map the area where is LMG

[full zinc]

Idk what this is, but it has nothing to do with capacitor

[ivory tulip]

Wdym LMG? He’s going for Capacitor, the exotic PDR

[full zinc]

Just bad info. You nailed it Op

[icy cypress]

The capacitor doesn’t show for me

[ivory tulip]

In the challenge menu there should be a list of rewards, like summit caches, the capacitor is in that list

[icy cypress]

It doesn’t show me

[tiny oar]

you're in summit ?

[ivory tulip]

You sure you’re looking in the right place? You’re on PlayStation so the menu should show up when you hit the touchpad

That too, that menu only shows up once you’re in the summit

[icy cypress]

I’ll show you guys

[empty beacon]

@That1Operator does the capacitor get removed from the Summit Challenge rewards if you've already obtained it, then it just goes into the general Exotic loot pool?

[ivory tulip]

You’ll have to do it in a different channel

[ivory tulip]

Yes, the blueprint is also added to the crafting vendor

So he either already has it and doesn’t know, or might be looking in the wrong place

[empty beacon]

Maybe OP should check to see if he has the blueprint. Maybe obtained it and didn't realize it?

[tender wave]

You can post pictures in #ask-td2-community

[hybrid gust]

Does CP no longer count as 2 for activity, this past 2 day I done CP but only count as 1 for daily project

[tiny oar]

cp always counted as 1 ?

[ivory tulip]

Yep it’s only one now, or at least same thing happened to me last night

[ivory tulip]

I think they bugged it last season to be 2

[icy cypress]

I might have got it from the summit long time ago guys

[tender wave]

Often it's 2, sometimes it's 1

[ivory tulip]

Probably, if that’s the case just farm some targeted AR’s or craft one

[tender wave]

That would explain it, but means you can farm another from AR target loot or exotic caches

[full zinc]

See if you have the reconfigure blueprint for cap at the crafting bench. If you unlocked it before it will have a bp there

[icy cypress]

Should I Farm it on summit or countdown

[tiny oar]

anywhere with targeted loot

[icy cypress]

Yes it’s says that

[ivory tulip]

Ok then you have it, so if you want a good one just farm countdown on challenging or heroic depending on whatever you choose

[grand blade]

It is so nice that they finally fixed Umbra. Gives you hope that they might find time to fix more of this stuff 🤞😌

[tender wave]

IceTorrent with his daily dose of salt. Don't miss the sarcasm in his post.

[lucid patrol]

Can anyone help me with builds just started playing again I’m lost

[arctic juniper]

Good morning agents the Anniversary Backpack is available to claim in your mailbox under special deliveries

[ivory tulip]

Go to #td2-build-advice the guys there will help you with everything, once you’re there give a rundown of what exactly you want your build to do

[grand blade]

Actually, I was being genuine, lol 😅

Btw, did they fix the directives too? 🤔

It seems like it, at least on my end 🤨

[tender wave]

Ah sorry, I haven't heard any mention of umbra being fixed and we didn't get a patch this week. People been complaining about the directives today so they're almost certainly not fixed either.

[ivory tulip]

Oh god what’s wrong with directives

[grand blade]

I got a small update when I started the game today, so I figured it was that. Strange, both Umbra and the directives are working in my game 🤔

[tender wave]

Special ammo and scavenged skills are mixed up for some people

[kind veldt]

special ammo and scavanged skills sometimes do switcheroo

[grand blade]

Nothing really game breaking, once you know it.

[ivory tulip]

That’s interesting

[icy cypress]

Guys got the capacitor from the exotic caches

[ivory tulip]

Ok good, I would’ve mentioned those but you would’ve had a better chance targeting for it

[arctic juniper]

I got mine from the Summit

[grand blade]

I thought you could ONLY get it from Summit 👀

[tiny oar]

you have to get it from summit challenges the first time, then its everywhere

[grand blade]

Yeah, that's what I figured. Just the way he wrote it, it sounded like it was his first 😁

[rugged copper]

Guys, I cannot play my Tidal Basin Stronghold, any idea why? 🙂

[empty beacon]

My first thought would be you have requirements that haven't been met for Black Tusk events. Can you play it if you swap it to normal? Assuming you are already lvl 40

[rugged copper]

Yes mate, Im already 40, I completed District union, then The rosevelt island, then capitol building! And then when I went to tidal basin, firstly it showed locked and then there was an option in the screen named 'Toggle something' (dont remember clearly), when I clicked it, the tidal basin stronghold happen to disappear from my map and instead a grey symbol with the name 'Tidal Basin : Manhunt' came, which again I cannot play for ineligibility

Whereas my friend who is level 39 can start the mission and play it solo, but he is not able to start if I am with him in a party

[tiny oar]

did you clear all red missions ?

[rugged copper]

What red missions?

[tiny oar]

invaded missions

[rugged copper]

Gatehouse facilty?

[empty beacon]

On weekly reset your map becomes invaded by Black Tusk which converts some missions and strongholds to Black Tusk missions/strongholds. That toggle you mentioned before is a feature that allows you to turn off the Black Tusk incursion for that mission or strong hold so you can reply it normally.

[tiny oar]

no, the missions where black tusk replaced the normal mission

[rugged copper]

Theres nothing as such sort on my map 🙂

[tiny oar]

you're telling me you never met black tusk ?

[rugged copper]

So what should I do now to play tidal basin?

[empty beacon]

I think Emeline is onto something, do that Gatehouse mission.

[rugged copper]

Be specific please 😔 everything was normal until I completed capitol building

[tiny oar]

yes, thats because now your map is invaded by black tusk, you need to clear every mission vs black tusk to unlock the last one

[rugged copper]

I did, went into that facility thing, then started an echo and came back to white house

[storm cove]

I need 20 black tusk kills in downtown East but there are know black tusk there

[tiny oar]

capture the cp, then drop activities will come

[rugged copper]

YES IT WORKED

I can play the tidal basin now!

[empty beacon]

What is you SHD level? My current assumption is that you are newly 40 and just beat the Capital strong hold for the first time so you are just starting to get BT encounters.

[storm cove]

@tiny oar Thanks Appreciate you for this💯🫡😎

[rugged copper]

Thanks mate!n

But what difference does it make by doing that G thing? lol

[tiny oar]

its to change mission type, manhunt, invaded, normal, etc

[rugged copper]

26

Do you suggest playing The other versions?

[tiny oar]

not yet

check the manhunt legacy tab, then do them in order to get the story

[empty beacon]

I 100% agree with Lyfe.

[rugged copper]

A while back I saw a player with an Exotic (Machine Gun perhaps?) gun, how do I get it😟

[empty beacon]

I'm a new/returning player myself. I did all of the story and side missions first. I have a buddy who is also new/returning that just likes free roam.

I leveled much faster than him but he is still having fun playing his way.

[tiny oar]

there are several, you can check the spreadsheet to see how to get each one

[rugged copper]

What spreadsheet?

[tiny oar]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/e/2PACX-1vTJEX5DerCvOj3a_m36TRy1gPBAUvrduOIdmXI9j1Y0MpQk1wIXaZ9KOcPa7HzXzp_N5qGmjDj6yEfL/pubhtml?pli=1#

[empty beacon]

IMO the 2 best way to get exotics in general are by playing Countdown and using the currency to buy exotic chests from the vendor and Priority Missions.

That is what was recommended to me and it has been raining exotics ever since.

[rugged copper]

Using currency? Real money?

[rugged copper]

I did not understand a single thing from here lol

[tiny oar]

no, the countdown currency you get after completing countdown

[empty beacon]

Negative. Countdown also rewards its own currency that can only be used at their corresponding vendor.

[tiny oar]

i mean, its pretty clear, you got tabs with all the info you need, check the exotic tab to get info about exotics

[empty beacon]

Lol, same. There are a ton of resources available to help navigate D2, but a lot of them are written for Div2 players who have been playing for awhile and have a better understanding of what's going on.

It's kinda tough being new/returning because they made a bunch of changes to improve the overall state of the game but it can be kind of daunting.

[rugged copper]

The heck is countdown? ;-;

[scarlet musk]

You are trying to understand things you don't really have to yet, first play until you're level 40

[empty beacon]

I have to hop on a work call. I'll shoot you a message and see if we can hop in a voice call so I can share what I've learned as a new/returning player that helped me understand the game better.

[rugged copper]

Thank you for not making me sound like an illiterate 🙂

[rugged copper]

Im Already 40+

[tiny oar]

check your map for the mode

[scarlet musk]

Oh why did i understood you're 26 ? sorry

[rugged copper]

Looking forward to your help!

[tiny oar]

he is shd 26

[rugged copper]

I crossed 40, then it started from 0 and now at 26

Shade Tech level?

[tiny oar]

its unlocked after you get lvl 40, and you get new stats to upgrade

[scarlet musk]

Ah, Yeah but still, play a bit more before getting into countdown

[tiny oar]

try getting a complete build first, then do heroic missions, then countdown

[rugged copper]

Yessir!

[tender wave]

8 player game mode that is the best source of loot these days. Pick your target loot, matchmake on challenging difficulty, follow your group and have fun

[rugged copper]

Justing wanted to know, what happens after completing tidal basin and the manning zoo missions?

[tiny oar]

it reset every week

[tender wave]

But countdown is by far the quickest way to get a build together, and definitely doesn't need you to be heroic-ready. Can easily get carried on challenging countdown.

[tiny oar]

yeah i guess geet a build, then do countdown

[rugged copper]

So we keep doing the same thing again and again?

[tiny oar]

you dont need a perfect build, but still

[tiny oar]

there are other stuff to do, countdown, kenly college, descent, raids, incursion

but the map reset ever week

there is also the dz if you like suffering

and legendaries

[rugged copper]

Ahhh I see

[tender wave]

Endgame does involve a lot of repetition, but gradually increasing difficulty settings and improving your builds and gameplay skills

[scarlet musk]

and boom, you're shd 1000

and i just missed mine, when from 998 to 1002 😭

[stark heron]

Anniversary bp shows our shd level, nice

[stark heron]

To be fair you will go way beyond that this week

I've gained like 100 levels already

Sitting at shd 1583 rn

[scarlet musk]

Yeah but now my screen is ruined

[stark heron]

I feel ya lol

You get the patch but its not the same

Still haven't changed mine from the open beta

[scarlet musk]

The orange crate ? I have this equipped too !

[stark heron]

Huh

[scarlet musk]

oh no that's a bp trophy sorry

Yup don't have a patch, only the bp trophy

weirdly

[stark heron]

SHD Operative patch is for level 1000

I don't remember a bp trophy existing for shd 1000

[scarlet musk]

No i'm talking about the open beta rewards, i played it

nevermind

[wise basalt]

stupid there's a pre-cool down on overdrive b4 u can activate

[scarlet musk]

like all skills ?

That would be to easy otherwise

[grand blade]

Ah, okay, they didn't fix the directives. Just logged on my other cha, and it's still mixed up there 😋

[scarlet musk]

i just got a godrolled tommy gun 😭

[cloud badge]

Did the devs say why there's not gonna be a new raid with this upcoming dlc?

[kind veldt]

no

[tender wave]

@pearl vine #lfg-playstation is the best place to ask for help. If the quadcopter is not losing health though, you maybe need to turn off your modifiers (after dying and respawning)

[tropic compass]

i know its impossible but imagine we got a map editor

[fiery slate]

For what?

[small spear]

for adding tall cover sir

tall cover everywhere

especially in birdhouse

[fiery slate]

Bro obsessed with tall cover 💀

Go back to xcom

[small spear]

i like my cover tall

hate short kings

[tropic compass]

creating custom maps

[fiery slate]

Sir please stop the self deprecation

[fiery slate]

For like missions?

[quartz vigil]

i am kind of interested in a sniper build

[fiery slate]

There’s some sniper builds in the pinned spreadsheet in https://discord.com/channels/477210626742288384/489468635333656576

[quartz vigil]

ah thanks bud

[tropic compass]

yeah something like far cry arcade editor

[fiery slate]

Sadly it’d just be used for xp farming

[quartz vigil]

my issue with the endgame so far has been that it feels like staying in cover starts to feel worse than using a shield
might be a skill issue tho

[tropic compass]

I doubt it unless devs put something in place
