The cosmetic items in China version is so crazy 🙂 Not really for it but after this many years in Division, some crazy apparel things would be kind of fun
We have gotten a few, we got a trench-coat with neon lights a while back, and a bunch of overly techy bits to go with it.
Clown Costume in 2024
actually no, its specific, lot of blades are one edged
We have milspec onesies
Yeah. but nothing like the dino suit. Or now the burger suit
its mostly for straight blades
Lyfe, your timing is impeccable as always.
always here for you
jiggy
As a RONIN user and a N7, I agree 
@upper drift Did you need something?
no
keep jigging then
Maybe don't
exactly what imma do ❤️
@tiny oar It might not specifically mean that in this case, but I'd avoid using that word as it can be....unpleasent.
that and replacing the J with a W.
i have no idea what it mean, but sure
I'll tell you when the kids go to bed.
im def not up to date with kids slang theses days
Google says it's a fishing technique that humans use
i have a question mod person
Sure, fire away.
are we allowed to talk about the chechen here or no
The who now?
Only if you stop playing for long enough maybe, or they switch the rewards back around periodically.
its not td2 related so not really
blades arent td2 related
Oof
yeah i think channel went a bit side track
We have a legend in the making
its best if we dont do that
It was a joke about someone using a metaphor slightly wrong.
We have an #off-topic-discussions channel, but we tend to avoid anything political as those discussions can get a bit heated
Thank god jokes are allowed 🙂
only good jokes, thats why i make them all day long
The red heming
the chechen are apart of al quiada
thats why i am asking before directly sspeaking about it
Would definitely qualify as 'political'
try your chance in a discord that is related to that imo
Would also qualify as spelling mistakes
im not going in a server related to the chechen
Sorry for making this guy spawning
im trying
Makes me want to post a sign that says "please pay parking fee before existing"
trying is all one can do
Kinda reminds me of the "your free trial of life has expired" lol
i just saw something similar
i wanna joke about that but all my jokes i have in head are way too dark for this chan xd
whats the best game in the world
Fortnite
there is no best game, it depends on your tastes
and this is also going off topic when we have specific off topic channel
we should make an emote about going offtopic
its not off topic if my favorite game is division 2
well, then you gonna have a good time playing
We already have: Rogue agent detected
Life
What bug are you referring to?
there is no bug visible on your screeshot
these dark squares in the corners
wow, you def need to put the brightness at max to see that
I thought he meant the shd level ;-D
Or a bigger screenshot... There's not much to go from there
If you ignore it, there is no problem 
Just dusted off the chatterbox. Actually having some fun running around with it. Sometimes it feels like I never have to reload it. And when I do, the RPM is kind of crazy depending on how many mobs around.
these new named knee pads are awesome, when you shoot a boss you kill all the adds around him one by one..
They are fun
my habit of pressing reload don't go well with that gun 🥹
try bk, that habit will go away
Even with the habit of reloading, still quite fun. And you kind of need to reload sometimes to get the RPM buff
Think it was one of my first exotics I got. Been in the stash a long time. And having a blast with it
Tic tac toe
this could happen in brooklyn dlc..
possibly but i doubt it . they might've found something they'll hand out again like the first time, but afterwards. i'd tell them make people pay for it lol
i liked santa costume of 2023 so much but was sad couldn't get it, there is no way, i started in 2024, but then devs got a good heart and gave it away as gift in 2024 christmas also
Oh yeah that outfit, was nice for that time but it collects dust for me now. The mask was horrible though
depend on the public demand they could do the same with lexington, they actually gave it away twice already as people faced issues on 1st one, and already said they r thinking about lexington but not sure when so maybe it'll be another surprise gift in some day
so tell me more about lexington.. I've seen it mentioned a few times... was it that good that people want it so bad?
Pretty much just an AR with really good base stats
it has a 1.1% difference in damage to what everyone can get now
Oh, nice! They fixed the Kenly College Expedition event!
Yeah, they no longer show as already have been completed 😊
also it's a LVOA-C but as an full auto AR
so people are obsessed with it due the first game
and thanks to the streamers XD
And just in time, only two days till the next one 😅
its good for sure but i like it for the look
and its also customizable so its a bonus
unlike exotics
i tried it once, left it in the stash for so long. felt underwhelming when i first tried it. was like i had a carbine 7. "hey this shoots like a laser!" but the damage is lacking :/ deconstructs carbine 7
but i gave it a shot again. maybe i had some wierd bug for when i first attempted it and it did little damage
im salty that i didnt get it but not as salty as some people who got it under lvl 40
i would really like to get it
i don't know which server it is. someone posted a video of them in the range with a striker's build on and using a st elmo and was in the 6 digit damage range you know like 10,000. pretty much what the lexington felt like when i first tried it
maybe its a visual bug or an actual bug
im having fun currently with the backfire smg cuz iv been getting into the paradise lost incursion, also the ouroboros is fun to use, but smth about the lexington is magnetic
yeah no clue the asked what was going wrong. someone mentioned something about a purple smoke debuff from Dark Hours
i noticed they were using sharpshooter and simply asked if they happened to shift their points for ARs
someone else was like yeah that 15% could be it
wonder if anybody else experienced that
no clue, the player got back and said they have that 15% in ar so
but i don't recall seeing anything else being mentioned about it since then
the parnell fight is bugged...
im sad that i got into this game at such a late time but at least iv got 1 more dlc ahead of me and still got tons of stuff i havent done and looking to complete
also got this game like a month ago and already have 100 hours(considering i only play at friday and saturday thats huge)
which one?
the one he goes beteen the gates, he never comes down
ah the one in New York
In a similar boat to you, however I got the game in 2021. Stopped when I reached LVL 30 since I was unsure if spending money on NYC is worth it…man I missed out.
Then picked it up again after a while, bought the DLC and got to SHD like 500-600, and left it for another year and a half.
Back now and wish I never did all that, missed out on probably so many cool cosmetics, limited time weapons and other fun things
a few things comes to mind about that,
swap a skill to like seeker mine or maybe oxi chem launcher and see if you can get the seeker to chase after him on the other side or the chem launcher to do damage to him forcing him to move
86/100 eggs in HC mode, and server restarts
or if you got a skill build hot swap to it and do the same thing but with the oxi as id you weren't full skill tiers probably not that big will now be a bit bigger and can probably hit him
ouch
how long do you think it would take me to get all exotics? I'm assuming you guys all got them basically
depends on your luck honestly
so a lot of them are behind harder difficulty activities right? and raids?
say you see a different exotic each week maybe not too long, the hardest would be the raids
the higher difficulties increase the chances of most exotics dropping
so let's say DZ stuff and Raids are going to be somewhat of a problem to go through since it's pretty dry.. is there any other way?
though, to expedite the raids. get all 4 to level 40 and have them all equipped with a build to run it each week
which raid would be better to start with? iron horse or dark hours?
DH
from what I see the only really problematic encounter in Dark Hours is boomer
don't go into dz for exotics ever
he's the first boss. the last one is harder
thanks
let me ask you a question.. do you think, after all the experience playing the game, the raids would have benefited more if there were less people .. like 6 for example.. from watching videos 8 feels so chaotic.. ?
maybe easier to find teammates and just go into the play
8 was a good stepping point from 4 which is what incursions needed, and incursions were mini-raids
6 would be too incremental, and 8 allows you to split into 2 subteams of 4 for mechanics
ok.. i can see that
dark hours was locked to a level 30 raid, but after wony came out it made it easy
Iron horse though definitely need the 8 people and a good amout knowing what to do and when
so unlike dark hours, no carries in IH? everyone needs to be on point and know it?
you can take 2 FTCs in IH
raids aren't that hard that everyone has to be geared and kwtd
if you really want to learn the raids. i've read people mentioned GCROck look them up
yeah I saw.. I'm just asking in general really.. I used to help carry people in Destiny raids and stuff to get them good gear.. so I was wondering how Div 2 raids are
from that standpoint
but Average player answered that
so 6 solid players can do 2 carries in a raid basically
yeah i assumed you knew a little bit with those questions
Dark hours you can have 2 to 3 people who knows the raid and what to do and have the others all striker dps i feel
the 2 FTCs would bring either high end dps or striker and others would take care of the bulk damage + mechanics
got it
the entry requirement even for new players seems to be not that high.. Striker is fairly easy to get and you can get some named weapons
also for dark hours if you got someone playing the Hardwired EMP Pulse will make that last boss a breeze
funny is the sets/weapons that are usually best against the raids are locked behind the raids themselves
probably why it gets recommended so much. "you may want to raid in the future have a striker build for it" kind of thing but doesn't get said XD
hard wired and nego originally were locked behind DH
ravenous is locked behind IH which is super good against moro for mechanic
regulus behind IH is fun for a 1 shot headshot build XD
I'm stil in the "awe" phase with the game so it will be a bit until I finish all my exploration before I get into raids myself.. but it's good to know these things in general.. I usually watch all breakdowns of the raids before i go in.. so I don't look like a headless blueberry
regulus is the best raid exotic
so hardwired is now available outside of the raid and attainable?
yes
cool
i got hardwired already some tho
but i believe those gear set blueprints is still only obtainable in those raids
"originally"
future initiative is also the best healer+buffer set in the game and the chest + backpack were originally locked behind IH
now everyone can get the chest, it's super accessible now, the blueprints are still locked behind IH tho
yeah it's fine.. as long as people can get them by farming blueprints will come I guess..
I saw a lot of builds in some videos for DH.. use the exotic mask
I think it's for healing too
did they fix the egg bug
had it reset on me 3 times
hm.. when I see the machine gun dude and shoot the chain for eggs.. haven't had it reset for me
God bless Black Tusk UGV and its breakable trrads
goes quick yah
i'm liking the Pathway park egg farm
I'm doing the BT chunga farm, with stagger you can skip the chain-reattaching animation so it's pretty quick
my issue is with Pesti and Striker if I hit him to the body while he's staggered or I miss the chain on "hard" it melts him without additional bullets 😦
so I farm until I mess up.. I should probably use a different gun though 🙂
yeah i'd use a different gun
my issue is I can't sit there shooting the chain for like more than a few minutes
but it's a good way to get those eggs
I go with heroic and find a frenzied chunga so they regenerate (backpack helps too) so you've got a bit of leeway when you miss or they don't stagger at first
the amount of eggs that drop depending on difficulty is always the same right?
Use a steady handed gr9, no ammo consumption
If Im going after hunter mask does the does playing on Normal vs Heroic change difficulty of the hunter?
Doesn't depend on difficulty at all, it's just one egg per weakpoint
I figured
Yes, even on Normal they'll still hit hard but die a lot easier than heroic
You have to set your world difficulty before starting the summon steps though, if you change it later it resets all the steps
@tender wave ok thanks dude
I keep getting this notification about the Wally program at the White House.. I talked to Wally at the Castle.. and even played a run of Decent.. why is this thingy still flashing at the white house?
bug?
Probably a bug
about the only bug i have a hard time ignoring is the "rogue agent detected" and i run around in open world looking for them an the music stops then i'm pissed XD
i like it, only reason i'm a skill builder at heart so hitting that and haveing Overcharged skill just sends a shiver down my back
like "let me shoot this overcharged oxidizer chem launcher at you" but because of reasons i hit an invisible barrier behind my cover and i die tragically
my skills I'm using now are mostly defensive.. Reviver/Drone Fixer for 20% DR
Try turning off the music, and listen for gunfire. 9 times out of 10, that's how I find them 🙂
nope even then i don't hear gun fire
a lot of the times i could be running say north in a very open area then i'm like oh i need ammo, turn south as i remember seeing an ammo box down that way and i'll get that notification. knowing i was heading north i go back no gun fire, head south a little bit further, still no gunfire. go east no gunfire and music stops
Best way to get perfect glass cannon? Target farm providence?
are servers down???
not for US/Southwest.. I'm in the game now
same here, i'm fine in game
might just be your area
try using a vpn and try using a different region.. see if that works
i'm west US and i'm in game
@upper drift if not.. there's probably an issue with your local network
i'm currently doing my daily egghunt on 2nd account as i'm behind XD
so someone mentioned, maybe it was you @jagged prism .. I should actually create additional agents right? for farming exotics?
get them to 40 so I can run stuff that's daily/weekly for all 4?
least the raid exotics. gives you 4 chances each week
the resources, gear are sharable via Indya and stash right?
yeah
imma crash out
is there a point in reporting cheater?
well, the resources and blueprints via inaya. stash stuff is nothing else needed
yeah totally .. that's what I meant
i needa start on my descent grind so i can get all my damn upgrades before i do my leaderboard run tmrw
Afternoon
o/
so I got perfectly rolled attributes for Headshot damage and Health Damage on Hollowman mask.. keep it?
I saw some youtube videos using this mask for some major damage.. but it's like 5 years old
how does Auto Deconstruct Skill Mods feature work? Does it deconstruct all lower valued mods from the highest one you have?
backthen, having that with the contractor's and fox's your damage went through the roof
yeah that's the type of video I saw
For Regulus----how much of the Ironworks materials drop per run?
One of my goal projects has 34/40. The other has 0/40.
been so long i forget honestly, was a pain XD
quick question.. my Pestilence has 13.8% LMG Damage, 9% dmg out of cover and optimal range 22%.. if I recalibrate it, the core attributes still say the same right? they just get updated values (lower or higher depending on rng) but the attribute will also be changed as well and it will change it on my current Pesti right?
I know it drops from the bosses once a week and from the chests.
I just don't know how much---if it's simple enough for me to do one run and knock it out or if I'm going to need multiple runs for this part alone.
is it a weekly thing? i thought it was just something you could spam it back to back and get materials
the chests makes sense, but i thought it was rng for the bosses?
i thought i remember running the raid back to back after i got the project and the chest stuff i was able to get the materials from the bosses
Ideally I only need to run it twice more (one for the mats and one for the exotic components)
yes, the lmg damage and dttooc remain the same
same type, not same value
I just rolled it.. thank god .. got better core attrs and I got reload speed which is what I wanted actually
I just went with it so I can see what it does
Is the ctar a highly recommended AR or is it meh?
i forget, is that like a F2000?
i know it has a high fire rate as well doesn't it?
i think the downside to it is only allows 3 mods (no under barrel?) hopefully someone who knows it well can confirm that
it's just okay
according to the sheet in build advice it has a 900 rpm so i kind of figured it should be decent on that alone. is it the base damage on it?
might be, icatn remember fully stats or mods per weapon
there's nothing wrong with it, just not the top 5 people usually reccomed
i just feel it was one of those OMG it fires fast! but only 3 mods so it was a hard pass for me
like i needed that underbarrel mod for my chc or chd to do damage with it
i need a named rifle, and i cleared all of the cpoints on heroic in the area where the rifle is targeted loot and i didnt get what i needed, what do i do now?
I figured the ctar was decent...I'm just testing which AR is good and which ones are dumpster fires
just keep doing activities in there or try countdown with Rifle as targetted loot
AR is probably the category with less bad weapons
with that i mean that even the worst AR is not a bad weapon overall
i dont like countdown( will stick to activities
also what about those boss activities, idk how they are called in english
where u have to kill a named boss
Bounties
You can just reset the control points to hostile and do them again. You won't get the main CP loot again though
Hmm, I do have a famas 2010/Burnt out. But with armor damage...which is better out of cover dmg or armor dmg?
#td2-build-advice message
Check if this list has the rifle you're after
Almost always dtooc
much obliged, thanks.
nah it doesnt
Which one is it? Might be dz-locked drop or other exclusive
yeah, best bet is named caches or DZ/Conflict farming
if you like descent you can farm that for the blueprint too
or just keep an eye on the vendor reset and hope it turns up at the countdown vendor, they sometimes have DZ stuff
idk what countdown vendor is
and how can i get the blueprint in descent, isnt it like insanely rare?
think one method has you killing the nemesis inside it? the other requires you living in descent. run it die, run it again you can buy them off a vendor before you enter descent
oh i understand now
Hi peeps what's the dz like compared to d1
there's about 100 blueprints in the pool, you get one blueprint per reconstructed cache, there's a 50% chance of one of those from a nemesis kill, which takes maybe half an hour once you're moderately experienced. So yeah, rather a lot of farming, like 100h+.
well, 100h+ is to get all the blueprints I guess
cancer
I have 2 quick questions.. how do I start WoNY missions? and how do I raise control point threat levels so I can do the hunt that requires components?
posted what my map looks like for NY.. i'm a bit confused what to start
Make sure you are the right level and have completed dc. Control points go up in difficult based on world difficult or you do activities near them such as territory controls, propaganda, etc
oh dang forgot to do the last few projects
do you guys also have full bags usually? or just a lot of guns that are hard to sort?
I find guns hard to sort
fair, iv'e only got like 2 loadouts atm
always rotating weapons and gear pieces for expertise
i've got like 72 guns in my bags but i legit only use like 1
so running both named weapons with an OD to get them maxed out
If you have anywhere near that without dedicated loadouts, you probably are keeping a lot of fluff
yeah i have a lot of guns where I'm not sure if they're good or they're just old ones from old loadouts.
a lot of junk i think though
With div2 you really do have to be ruthless with your loot.
Is the item 80% perfect when you picked it up? If so, is it able to be made perfect with 1 recal and a few optimisations?
i'm still trying to get my head around when an item is 80% perfect, I think I've kept a lot that aren't as good as I'm hoping they are
The easiest way is to just look at the stats for what you need. and you can always post your build down in #td2-build-advice, we're happy to give you pointers. Everyone here started out as a newbie at one point.
ty ty, i did post a build q earlier and someone helped which was sick and the build is much stronger with just a few changes, now just trying to figure out how to perfect it which I think will just involve Summit or Countdown
@gusty mountain for me this would be acceptable if i wanted to keep the talent on it for some build of sorts
https://imgur.com/a/kYlWE4S
No dtooc?
honestly i'd never use that specific gun, but to me the stats are acceptable to me
dtooc is a very worthwhile buff to your guns, and since that gun isn't locked away behind a content wall, you can easily farm out a better copy.
Countdown really has changed farming in this game forever.
i know, i was just giving an example of something i'd find ok in keeping to recal on it and use
See, I would say that gun is worth junking.
It can't be made into a godroll with a single recal, unless you want Sledgehammer on an SMG?
i just think it's neat
yeah, i like that "always packing" on it
huh, is the TM 10/15/16 have a meaning you think?
not really
wlel they probably have a meaning, but not something relevant or hidden easter egg i assume
My Endgame RNG is never failing. The Ouroboros is now the next peg on the 'endgame loot I got first run' YAHOO
no deconstruct it and ask us how to get it back (> <) then you've become one of us XD
What's the rewards for today's project?
vest i believe it was, just finished it and no handbasket
Is there components as a reward too?
the usual we've been doing these past few days
I haven't done any since the pants
Sat on a plane so wanted to be nosey, no ones posted on reddit or twttr
exotic components, named item cache, recal cache? then the rabbit apparel and a rabbit universal skin for weapons i belive?
Oh that's right, day 6 is the weapon skin iicrc
before logging off after completing it was like 4ish hours until reset
Today's should be day 6 with with the chest and weapon skin
The patch notes did say 7 projects so the 7th day could be the weapon you were talking about
yeah usually, which i think should end on monday but with the wonky timing of the projects we're ahead i'd say
i still need to get all the skins lol
"rabbit fire"
i feel we should be on day 5, sunday tomorrow should be day 6, monday day 7 where we get the weapon, tuesday the usual server reset and we get to start at day 1 again
No idea what TM means but numbering your magazines is a thing. Mag numbers 10, 15, 16
ahhhh
TM i'm thinking is that copy right thing from the past i think? where the TM is in a circle?
they wear out or can have compatibility problems so if a certain mag has issues you can ID which it is
oh i was wrong, i thought i always saw it in a circle 🤔 but trademark?
Maybe initials of the owner? No idea hehe
Maybe there is a dev with those initials
but it's nice to learn new things
i wouldn't have thought the round number. couldn't make it into the military (had extremely flat feet)
I thought we can get a hand basket when Easter egg event done. Will it come on division day?
I really need to scroll down before I reply here 
I need more eggs. I will be bullying a Black Tusk Heavy for the next half hour
I got the 100 eggs in 15 minutes at Capitol
everytime i get the 100 eggs it resets and no rewards... why
hmm... WoNY is fun.. the action is more intense which I like and the whole rogue division agents is pretty dope.. just beat vivian she was a bit annoying but it was a cool fight
@tender wave 's method is the best.. machine gunner's chain, hit the backpack to skip the animation of chain with stagger and he just pops eggs like crazy
I just pulled god rolled lady death
Nice
@smoky solstice You're looking for #lfg-playstation, GL Agent 
How do I turn off the voice when you go into settings and other menus? It’s annoying as hell.
might be in accessibility options. text-to-speech
Press Space to Start
That’s not it I have it off and the voice is still playing
from social menu u can mute individual players
It’s not a player it’s the stupid ai voice that plays when you go through options and menus.
thats menu narration in accessibility
Thank you
what are the 4 weak points for the recruiter end part coz i have absolutely no clue
weak points are on the right side, left side and the last 2 at the middle. First is below the crosswalk facing the lodge and the last one will appear behind you..
Does anyone else have error code echo-01?
I got an error today and lots of lagging. So I stopped playing. It happens a lot on Sundays
Steam says there is like 2500 people playing at the moment. Not a lot to cause problems
Unless it only counts steam players. Not sure if Div2 is cross play
yeah it only counts for steam players
no cross play between PC and Consoles
but there's ubisoft connect to which steam probably can't display for obvious reasons
another day without handbasket
@hazy wedge yesterday said he played with some xbox player somehow even though he is in pc
maybe it's a PC gamepass player?
loot gobblers
would be an interesting trick, as i've said there's not cross play between PC and Consoles
maybe modded XBOX? you know you unlock it so you can put linux or windows on it kind of thing? 🤔
I was playing and then I got a timer with the server saying it would shutdown in 59 minutes.
Followed by error code echo-01 when I tried logging back in.
Hello pro gamers, anyone got their Handbasket weapon? I was told there's a new weapon in the event, but couldn't find info about it.
Likely tomorrow's project reward
Could someone help me with a few questions regarding the game
-
Donating what to expertise makes the level go up faster? IS there any specific kind of guns/equipments which makes the level go up faster?
-
Where do I check how many exotics (Be it any guns or equipments) are left for me to get in the game
- I happen to have like 6-7 of exotics of the same guns and equipments which makes it a total of 84 (kept in stash), any idea how to utilize all of these in the best way?
- My stats in game changes when I change any gun, for example, if I equip St Elmo, my cric hit chance is 50% but if I equip bullet king, it gets to less, should not my stats be constant no matter what gun I equip?
- For expertise there is nothing faster, than donate junks or composant
- Google or here #td2-build-advice message
- Destruct them for exo component.
- depends the gun accessories. Like St Elm have one with CHC
- Exotics weapons have mods, they are differents for each exotics
Well someone here told me earlier that donating guns/equipments of a particular set/brand makes it go up faster but I forgot what
- Nothing, it's always the same amout of XP but for example u need less filament than any others
For named weapon and equipments, yes
Might sound dumb at this point, but how do I know which is a named item?
Have they fixed the egg bug yet
It worked for me today, so YMMV
hey, what builds are meta now for a dps in PVE and solo?
i keep seeing this chameleon weapon that looks pretty nice in PVE
It's not like, great or anything, but the Cham' can work if you really want it to.
There's a big list of updated meta stuff over in #td2-build-advice > 📌 > spreadsheet 2 > builds. Enjoy!
i have never been more confused
Go to #td2-build-advice, then go to the 📌 pinned-message.
on PC it's at the top of the screen, not sure about mobile.
4pc Striker, Ceska Chest with Obliterate, Coyote Exotic Mask with St.Elmos, or other good AR's Substitutes like Famas for example
#td2-build-advice will tell you all you need tho
Tap the channel name and there is a Pin specific tab
I genuinely don't think I'd have bothered my arse doing these egg projects if it wasn't for pathway. It's such a tedious repetitive process. I really don't know why they couldn't have shook it up a bit and gave us different tasks.
It feels like they're trying to inflate playtime to make the numbers look good for their execs
Its weird, usually the event projects have some variation, they were lazy on this one
my money is on it being a last minute addition
some thing somewhat "easy" but tedious enough for people to spend the time pulling their hair out completing it while the work on other stuff
I'm not convinced they put a lot of effort into thinking about it.
Between the new season and dlc release it was a low priority thing
But it annoys and to a certain extent alienates people because they still haven't found the right balance with these projects. They're either too simple or too repetitive and grindy
But then again you look at the journey and think maybe it's all intended
anyone know what missions do you have to do tidal basin
all the story missions up to Capitol building, then the three invaded strongholds (Capitol, DUA, Roosevelt), then a side mission will appear next to the White House, then Tidal Basin
ty
23rd iirc
If it isn't changed again who knows
Hmmm, chat should I start a new HC agent or boost a 2nd normal agent for mule/ectra gear
you can do both, up to 4 agents
HC agents are a bit more of a commitment than regular characters so it depends where you are in the game
Never really understood the purpose of HC characters, def not for me
i know but im talking about rn
Different way of playing the game
Not for everyone
i have an HC agent but i was thinking of starting a new non-boosted one
If you enjoy HC go for it
trust me when I tell you.. once you get into HC stuff in general it makes the game feel completely different.. everything in softcore you don't even think about becomes danger in HC.. you really play different and it's far more visceral experience.. it's hard to explain until you play it
I'm not talking just Div 2.. I'm doing Diablo 4 in HC.. same thing
normal me and HC me are two completely different people
Div 2 it's a lot more lax
i play like how old people do it, slow and steady
You can take risks but know your skill and builds limits
what's the penalty in Div 2 for HC characters? do you lose everything or they still let you keep the resources and stuff in stash?
Know when to get out of difficult situations
HC has a seperate stash and its per character
Lose everything on you, stash is intact
you keep HC stash, HC shd
ok.. similar to Diablo then.. you lose everything on you but other stuff stays when you make a new agent right?
Before they added stash you lost everything
yup
also you can't boost HC characters so you have to make that 1-40 journey the long way every time
yup.. that makes sense
Diablo does have skip the campaign option though
so it's easier to not do campaign stuff again and just get into leveling up
I'll definitely get to do some HC eventually in Div 2
once i learn everything in SC 🙂
You have to redo everything, campaign, SHD tech, spec points
Nothing iirc is boosted or auto completed in HC
Expertise and recalibration library, unlocked blueprints
yeah usually HC is like that yeah.. it's one life 🙂 I'm glad that you still keep stuff in stash for it.. Diablo 4 initially lost everything.. getting points and all that is not surprising.. HC is a grind.. that's what makes it dangerous and exciting 🙂
otherwise it wouldn't be called hard-core 🙂
I wonder how difficult is to find people to raid with on HC.. that must be a pain now
it would be nice if Div 3 whenever it comes would have a feature like Path of Exile where if you die on your HC character it turns into a softcore one
There certainly is a group for it
the issue with hardcore modes in general in these games, it seems that most devs neglect it after a while because majority of their playerbase is on softcore.. so improvements fall off significantly
Dying in raids is really hard especially in Dark Hours
you mean because there are other players with you so there's always someone to help you up right?
from my own experience the biggest fear in hardcore are not enemies but connection and servers going down 🙂
If you follow what you're told to do, everything will go smoothly
i lost my first HC agent to being afk
they made the timeout on connection loss 2s in most areas of the game (30s in DZ though) so unless you're out of cover being shot at when you disconnect, you're not too likely to lose them
that's good to know.. Blizzard had a lot of issues with this .. but they seem to have fixed it quite a bit.. if you get DC-ed the servers save your character, as long as you say, you are not literally being attacked by a mob at the moment of DC..
When’s the next apparels event
unknown
Ok
wee quick one for u all smart people in the know is it not against tos to let people boost ur account and get u ingame stuff as even today still the so called content creators who get perks etc from the game devs still promoting them on their channels for fee..i was just told by one streamer no names that im wrong anybody can use ur account and play it hmmmm,,,ive got all my stuff legit ingame not worth the risk these peopls steal your details and accounts
well, think in the tos there's probably something about sharing your account details to others
most companies dislike account sharing in general so safe to say this one does too
i jsy checked their is but they say its ok use my code for 10 percent lol
i got a thumbs down lol
however the boosting part i don't think is bad if say you and a buddy decide "hey if you get one or 3 of my characters to 40 will you do that for me as well?" wouldn't be a bad thing really
no they say we will use your account but must be ok they still promoting daily and still on the ubisoft creators list but no biggie just didnt know it the perosn who said ur wrong its ok
Hello, where to find easy egg ?
Pathway park intro farming
nyc
use demo firefly
some people utilize Black Tusk Either Chunga (guy with a LMG fed by a belt from back to gun) or the engineer's tank (has 2 treads to break) but i've liked the pathway park first room with the demo firefly method
whatare the wings around the person's SHD number?
shepherd rank
Shepherd rank, different from SHD
what's shephard rank?
a method in game where you answer to agent's calling for help randomly
basically when you assist someone who makes a backup request, you get XP for a rank that shows how often you accept backup requests
bassicaly is a level systems that you level up by answering backup requests from other players and no, it doesn't give you anything relevant.
ooh I like that.. the good samaritan recognition basically
sure it gives you something a sense of doing something good (> <) lol
yes!
so not to go on about this but I'm making a game.. and I love learning so much about some things that are cool in division 2 as features.. this is one of them
an in game pat on the back ? XD
sure.. but that's cool.. everyone knows you were helping other people.. that's a nice recognition
if you put it in your game, i'd say give an actual reward
yeah, after answering 10 players lvl 3 that died on the middle of the road and they don't even know what backup is.
yes.. it will be special armor and stuff
but I was not sure how to do it.. the random call for help stuff is cool
1/2 my requests are lvl 8 - 20 who are dead
I'm playing now with 3 more folks.. I answered the call and we got a team
now you just say: this player is being sponsored by Unreal engine with C++ bluprints... 
i felt bad answering one call and they were running a BT mission with 4-5 directives on and i kept dying XD
bwahahahahah
Yooo
forgot "brought to you by Raid Shadow legends!"
time to play dress up w the rabbit season outfit
the guys i was with now were about to start Heroic stronghold.. I left cause I would get wrecked..
the time will come where I will earn my shepard wings 🙂 but not now 🙂
did you also buy the rabbit fire?
Could anyone explain how DZ works? Havent tried it at all as of now
far as i know. you walk into the zone and it's a Player versus Player versus Environment
as a noob who tried it.. you go in, you do challenges, you get containminated gear, you extract it and that's it.. the other players will wait for you to extract and kill you. 🙂
and then loot your named items and leave hahaha.. best farm in the game 🙂
o/ hello
it's a mix of pve and pvp really.. agents who cut your rope during extraction or kill you turn rogue.. the challenges are marked on the map in DZ, you fight pve enemies there, they can drop the contaminated gear that has a special glow, when you extract the items with the chopper (you call it in) you will "clean" those items and you can use them. DZ drops named items but honestly I have gotten a lot more named items just playing everything else. But i"m guessing you can farm specific ones with challenges in the DZ
yeah there are a few named items that's supposed to only drop in the dark zones, but the way around it is legacy manhunt caches or named caches
How did they die? Have I died sure but I’m level 9 and I’ve managed to solo missions. I just started the game a day or two ago. Honestly I’m surprised at how easy the missions I have run are compared to the division 1.
well, maybe they were exploring the city
was fighting a group and just attracted the attention of another group or 2 while dealing with the first group 
don't know, 2-4 npc red level and the backup caller was dead on the ground, I think we can already guess.
Unless you have a gold bar you should be able to kill the enemies pretty quickly. The only time you will die is if you are severely underpowered and the enemies overpower you.
or when you just installed a game you never played also
honestly i could see it's their first time playing and nothing was around and they were admiring the area and got jumped XD
True I played the first game and I have played many shooters so I use everything to my advantage especially ducking for cover and med kits when I need them.
I remember one of my friends playing for the first time, and the first time he saw the true sons, he was like: Can I talk to them? when he saw the red exclamation he freaked out and died lol.
shame you didn't record that whole thing (> <)
I use Dark Winter all the time. Such a great SMG. And I think it is Dark Zone only.
just got 3 exotic drops on normal difficulty doing capitol building
yes it is, but you can obtain it in named item caches or legacy manhunt caches. sometimes it gets sold i think in dz vendors and maybe countdown?
Ok. could be. Still one of the best SMG in my opinion
yeah, vector's are fun with 3 umbra, 2 strikers and ninja bag honestly. take cover get stacks leave cover and pull that trigger and listen to it ROAR!
I know that the PlayStation 4 always record on cache, but it took me a few years to know this was possible so of course I couldn't record it back in the day.
I started to try out a wacky build the other day. Ninja bike, striker and what ever set it is that gives you +50% ammo. Quite insane to have around over 100 bullets in like St. Elmos
i would've loved to see that
of course i'd be an instagator
if you talk to them they'll give you an amazing quest! and watch them run up and die and i'd die laughing XD
true patriot? get a red/blue/white on things you shoot?
No. I have the full Striker set. And then some set that gives +50% ammo in weapon. Cant remember name
You can also save gameplay on the ps5 go to options then hit save gameplay and you will have a clip of the gameplay.
I didn’t know until someone told me it makes recording gameplay so much easier
For me it is just fun as hell. Run it with St. Elmos and getting around 104 rounds of electric bullets is great fun
yup
which of the 2 do you like best?
Funny how sony never revealed this feature, it could have saved a lot of those "nobody would believe it if it wasn't recorded" videos on YouTube, reddit and discord.
obv fire cause the rabbit ears on season looks silly
but i can do more dress up options with season cause we have alot of multicam options
and probably would be a great selling point
considering if xbox doesn't say anything about if they got it as well and made it public to their owners
True Sony is notorious for not telling players about hidden features.
You’d be surprised at the amount of people that don’t know it exists I for one had no idea about it for the longest time.
last playstation i bough was a 3 and i didn't really delve into all that it has in it. was like ok i can play some games that'll never reach the PC kind of thing
where can i get the vigil backpack?
honestly no clue, if you have a picture of it. compare the icon for it and run summit/countdown with that particular brand icon or if those 2 isn't your cup of tea look for an open area or mission you don't mind running in back to back until you get it
i did 3 countdown runs but it didnt drop is it a black zone exclusive?
no clue honestly, i've gotten once at least and i feel a few other times randomly
according to the spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice it's a light zone (non-dark zone) drop and the brand it's called is Legatus S.p.A.
nods not guaranteed just a higher chance with that method but becuase of the sheer amount of loot just much better than open world, missions or even summit
am i able to switch my preferred device to pc? i played D2 on my xbox but now I have it on my PC
oh wiat
found it
like taking your console save to pc? probably not
no, like on here, i had the xbox channels but I am playing on pc bc i recently moved
moved over*
ohhh XD
but i got it to change so im all good 👍
yeah the way i read it was like " i played on xbox and i want to transfer what i did on xbox to pc" XD
yea no, wish i could but I know i can't do that 😭
is that Borg on your PFP discord?
what's the good set to use for quick build for higher damage skills so I can get these damn double kills and seeker mine kills?
ice bear from we bare bears
its a character from a show I used to watch so I set it to my pfp
ah, there's a show i tried to watch much earlier but couldn't get into it, but a friend is you gotta. so i gave it a shot and was introduced to a Sheep dog kind of they named it borg. was an experimental animal with some telepathy i think? was great and just at a quick glance looked like it could've been that character XD
ahh mk
i was wondering, the dz gameplay is no known as "tarkov like", but wasnt div 1 out before tarkov ?
i guess there are differences between the 2 but still
from google it says they were released about 5 months from each other, i believe
but yea division 1 released before
well tarkov isn't finished so I wouldn't say "released" but opened up to the public
i guess in div you dont lose your gear, only anything not extracted
but i would still consider it the same type of gameplay
in some ways more than others
depends on what you want
i just need to juice my turret so I can get these double kills for journey
eclipse for status effect for example, future for healing
i'm just doing normal I need double kills really.. not trying to make an end game build with it
Why do NPC's have 110% accuacy with no falloff of bullet damage? They can hit you from a pin hole in the wall from 200 yards.
You can run brand sets for skill dmg without needing to worry about a gear set
hana-u for example is pretty good
I just noticed for example.. refactor set is not available on the map with the logo.. does that happen? sometimes the brand you need is not available?
Yeah some sets wont be targeted its a rotation of a select few
Yeah, targeted loot rotates daily
got it
as for skill dmg builds without a gear set, you can literally just go 3 empress, 3 hana-u
empress gives you skill health, dmg, and efficiency, and hana-u can give you skill haste, damage, and weapon damage
ok.. got it.. need to check if I can get them.. I wasn't really paying attention to keep any of those
if you have enough mats for crafting, in theory, you can make both sets with the random brand set craft
Waveform is basically free skill damage on any skill build
with waveform, easy 2 hana-u 3 empress
good call.. need to see if i have those blueprints
unfortunately, doesnt look like hana u or empress are up today for targeted
yeah I just saw.. sucks
you can always run Countdown match made to get them. 2 runs and you would have more than enough pieces of both to put something together
countdown still kicks my ass with emps
if you run matchmade with challenging, you will more than likely queue up with quite strong striker runners, and they will giga carry lol
i do most of my countdown running on my refractor, and dont even worry about fighting for kills, just let the skills provide the healing
can I just farm open world for like masks and get it that way?
no.. no masks.. i also checked that.. my luck
Still not too bad, can just try and craft
it should be fine.. i just need up the damage to 3-4 million so I can clap a few of them on normal at once
I still havent done the double kills with explosives myself lol
i did the restore armor, frenzied, prevent decay, blacklisted, tier 2, and headshots to clear that stage
Also, cluster mine the best for achieving double kills with explosives
since it will target a bunch of enemies
I still have on Tier IV of Journey these options Restore armor via critical recovery, elimitate 200 seeker mine, double kills with explosives, and maintain momentum tier 2 for 120 seconds.. I don't know how I didn't get maintain momentum done
i found running a crit lmg build to be the best with momentum management for myself.
Was constantly hitting tier 4 without even realizing it just fighting elites on challenging
so critical momentum only counts if you get a crit shot right? so my crit chance should be high
Yep.
big mag, high rate of fire, high crit. best ways to keep momentum in my experience
or very high rof SMGs to build up fast
Good vector would do the trick
easy to build for too, just need ceska, and sokolov, not much else needed lol
what's the talent that might be increasing crit chance?
I remember seeing one I just can't remember their names yet
Is it a good idea to just random match make encounters?
Vindictive for guns gives you crit and crit dmg, but only after killing someone with a status on them
If I bought warlords of NY, roughly how long does it take to get the decoy and the sticky bomb?
On the fence rn and want to know how much I'll need to play
you get sticky bomb very close to the start of it
Like < 1 hour, it’s 2/4 main missions
Decoy was quick for me
That’s the fire sticky
ah my bad
All depends on who you go after first
yeah those skills are tied to the agent right?
Should definitely just run the entire thing though, but depending on your build and how much you just focus the investigations, it doesnt take too long to get through any of the agents
Some pretty good story telling, and the final boss is alot of fun
what color is crit ? red or orange?
omg.. is the critical recovery not counting if bloodsucker keeps my armor full?
You should be able to regen the white armor
why is this thing not counting :(.. I'm hitting crits non stop now with insane crit chance.. and it's still not counting.. i'm still at 15/50
It just takes alot for it to actually count
I never pay attention to colors and numbers while fighting. It is too much
Just let it run and it will fill naturally. its not one you can rush
But I did see numbers like 1.9M with my Baker's dozen. It was like wow
The reason critical recovery goes so slow, is that its only on crits, and its only .5% of your armor per crit. Takes a good bit for it to register notcieable progress
Use an ACS 12
i get it.. but I've been on 15/50 for a looooong time.. like a day or so
It should fill quickly
Took me less than a day with scorpio
I played something like 2 h
Don't forget to activate modifier
Sometime it can desactivate
I just didnt even pay attention to it. Havent really paid much attention to any of the journey stuff and just let ride til it was done
Especially if you want to do other event
i just make sure to run atleast 2 of my characters actively a day to spread out how the journey goes
Later today, will be doing lmg stuff for the reaper scan for awhile
ok i figured it out.. it is blood sucker.. i heal armor quickly so it was never doing it.. but if I let them shoot me to take my armor down a bit it starts counting
My friend are I just hit level 40 on fresh agents, we have completed the main story enough that we are on Invasion difficulty. Which I believe is World Tier 2? Whats the best way for us to get better gear and start taking on more difficult content? Any recommendations? Keep in mind these are fresh agents, not agents we just went from 30-40 on. So we may not have a lot of prerequisites done for some recommendations.
You should have countdown available right? All the gear there has really high stats plus you can choose the targeted loot
4 piece striker set is great for almost anything
Yes, we unlocked it not long ago. We have not tried it yet. Awesome, I will keep that in mind.
do what I did.. Striker Set.. put bloodsucker on your backpack, and glass cannon on the other piece
Make sure to matchmake on challenging, the only hard part is the hunters but after that you'll be swimming in loot
strikers and hunters fury are both pretty solid ways to start. Strikers cuz its just tons of dmg for free, and hunters fury is good for run and gun smg builds if you want tons of armor back after getting a kill. Hunters Fury was what i used to basically start getting into late game
Both are simple, easy to use and learn sets, that still allow for a large amount of variety
Heartbreaker is also a pretty strong starting point
I have Heartbreaker on now, I run Assault Rifle/Rifle build. I like it but I do really want Strikers.
funnily enough
heartbreaker is Div 1 Striker except you have to pulse your targets to get the same stacks XD
Div1 Striker works the same way as div2 striker
just in div1 you lost stacks way easier
nah div1 striker gave us bonus armor
least i feel it did? 🤔
It was hp regen
and that was only the classified version. Base strikers still just did stacking damage on dealing dmg
It did, gives you health based on how much your base stamina is
oh right, was thinking it was tanky in some way. so for me heartbreaker is similar as you got damage then you got some tankiness built in
.01% hp regen per stack, increased by .05% per 3k stamina you had
one thing also similar between div1 striker and HB is you don't stack when hitting skill proxies too
they reworked striker at some point in div2. missed shots used to make lose 2 stacks
in this regard div2 striker is an upgrade
Yeah, div2 striker is honestly way better
it's just that div2 lowered ttk for everything waaaay down
so you're less incentivized to be tanky and more incentivized to kill shit faster
Then again, i run MDR Predators mostly in div1 lol
nods only thing i hated div 1
hey, let me empty 10 mags just to kill this 1 yellow enemy
then if you don't socializse and have a healer with you that turned their lunch box to all 3 lunch box variants you're looking for them ammo restock boxes constantly XD
or ran the ammo lunch box
Eh, state of div1 currently, people be speed farming legendaries without healers around
not sure about the state of incursions, cuz i dont run them
least they fixed the glitches for most things now
i remember watching videos of people using the large mobile cover to place it right so you can glitch through a wall
reminds me, i need to reinstall div1 for the ge tomorrow. gotta finish off my classified strikers
is there a stoner LMG named version?
Yes, The Quiet Roar. Comes with Perfect Overwhelm
Stoner is pretty fun. Im a fan of the m60's. Need to get back to farming for pestilence
I really like Stoner for some reason.. the fact that it has 200 mag and just feels great and I can put the 18% increased damage to weapon by losing stability/accuracy is a huge plus too
I finally finished the mission with emps (Pentco Power Plant) .. is that a countdown?
I think I got an exotic out of it
no, that's the manhunt
It uses the countdown map
so Main Mission is just a manhunt?
yes
the countdown is totally different yah?
ye
Countdown is couple of random objectives with a random faction
do manhunts drop exotics ? I got Doctor Home but i don't know where from
it showed up by completing that manhunt
yeah doctor home drops from that
ok.. cool
I think lewis drops bluescreen
you probably remember that i said something about some exotics being exclusive or having higher drop rate
can you redo it for more exotics?
to some activities
The rest stopped with exotics as rewards
Lewis drops bluescreen bp iirc. I recently got it out of a cache and never did the manhunt
Well while i say that, the last manhunt has one as reward on master difficulty
parnell manhunt has provocator as exclusive yeah
Or random drop on lower difficulty
I just did that Pentco Main Mission on normal to learn the emps
and it still dropped that exotic.. so I'm guessing it's a guaranteed drop for the first time yah?
The regular mission, yeah
yes
If you do the matchmade version, you just get tons of loot period
Even with a still not very high chance to drop exotics, the sheer number of enemies, elites, and named enemies, combined with hunters means you will still get exotics pretty easily
I might try it now on hard to see if I get something? If i replay it, it still drops loot with a chance for exotic or no?
I guess I'll try it now and see.. the emps were kicking my ass initially but now I see how they work.. just stay out of sight and wait for the hack
so this mission.. it's gold.. does that mean these gold missions are rotated?
Only thing id change with countdown drops, is lower the named item spams. was going for hadsburg earlier and was only getting the named backpack and chest, and hardly anything else lol
Hello everyone
Got the turmoil knee pads on my normal character. How can I get it on my hardcore character on the same playstation account. Simply logging in with my hardcore character did not work. Tried everything. Is it in the general loot pool yet?
🤮
can crafting from rregular high end blueprint rng the named item instead?
or you need a specific named item blueprint
Specific blueprint
Guys i am the only one who saw this picture with Hyenas in some alley with other faction trading weapons? It was a new type of activity and i saw it months ago on reddit or what. Or is that some Mandella Effect?
I swear that i saw something like that but cannot find anything about it.
Any good gear for raids? I got back into the game after a year and I’m looking to see if anyone here has a good raid gear list for me to get. I got some of the best weapons in the game but I’m looking to get that eagle bearer just to have it
#td2-build-advice has a list of builds pinned in a link, i think it might have raid specific builds listed
i dont play raids much so cant give much more advice than that
was it a seasonal event ?
No idea
What should I do? I’m level 33 and a bit lost atm
One of these days. I need to do both raids and the incursion just for completion
reddit, might've been someone wanting to have something of that effect in game but it's not really in game far as i'm aware of
Keep doing the missions so you unlock the watch, then the game really starts 😄
Bet!
once you hit 40 you'll be asking us other kinds of questions (> <)
Does anyone know what it means when you shot an enemy and their highest armor bar indicator just kinda' flickers?
It's almost like they have an active constant heal going which is keeping me from downing them.
has anyone figured out how you get the handbasket?
yes, do all 7 days of the easter event probably
if they're glowing red it's the current seasons modifiers
I'm assuming the last project is in 2h so guess we'll find out
yeah, probably if it's on the right counter
just asking around bc I saw someone claiming you get it from the loot goblin in the comments of a yt short. didnt believe it since its a youtube comment but thought it wouldnt hurt to ask
no clue as i've killed him a few times and nothing came of it for new svd
think i'll just farm him for a couple hours
about all i saw was 2 videos from the same streamer "handbasket stats leaked!" the stats looks abysmal to me though
Can someone explain to me what's going on?: I changed the directives and global difficulty and ported to the castle, and suddenly the castle is expanded without me doing anything. Is this a bug, or when should the castle be expanded?
is ubi gonna pay attention to the cheaeting problem? i have faced 5 cheaters today along
you report all 5 or just come here to complain about the cheaters?
what level are you?
yay! just finished the 15 floor weekly on my 4th 40 and i got pestilence
hell yeah.. just ran pentco power plant and got the quiet roar..
i ran that like 20 times the last 3 edays on challentging didnt get it
It's everyone within a Control Point for instance.
It doesn't seem to be effecting random patrols as much, but when I go into a Control Point lately every enemy is almost impossible to down.
I know my SHD level is only 161, but still my world difficulty setting is only on Hard.
Kingsbreaker is got 93.6k, Iron Lung is at 80.7k and I've got 1.3M armor.
Last Control Point I just attempted I ran out of ammo on the Iron Lung and hadn't even got past the first phase. 😿
I just turned level 40 and my SHD is 345 because my last character was SHD 345, and I'll take over that SHD level right after level 40. And then I had a mission that told me to talk to Wally about the program. Then she wasn't anywhere in the White House, and on Reddit they said she was in the castle. Then I ported in, and suddenly the castle was fully developed.
nah i came here to cheer up the devs for making a strong anticheat
Wait... am I just dealing with "Frenzied" enemies?
If so, how the heck do I get enough DMG to overpower that Hostile Modifier? 😕
that's why i was asking if they glowed red
when youreach lv 40 the castle is renewed to the current point in the plot
which has been fixed and serving as a secondary base for some people
oh right, because the manhunt is now legacy which they can't do anymore
Is that supposed to be how you tell?
I'll take another look since I didn't think they ALL were red. 😧
that's what i mean. they can't do what we did in those manhunts slowly constructing castle settlement
might be some healers in there too
should I bump the LMG damage to max attr value or change attribute to something else? #ask-td2-community message
did the new project roll out yet?
yikes.. I chose by accident Heroic difficulty and took on 3 bounties at once LOL
died almost immediately and a good samaritan joined on me.. picked me up and we slapped those targets
🤣
heroic ain't no normal that's for sure 🙂
Once you will get some ok gear, it will become new normal.
What are journey missions? I was looking at modifiers and it says I need to do those missions to unlock modifiers.
I got Glory Daze.. is this AR good?
Journey is on your main screen under Battlepass.. there's a tab there.. you need to do the journey missions to unlock tiers
tedious long term project
@jagged prism is Glory Daze good AR?
no clue, the one's i've gotten i turned into materials
it's good but not in the way you think
you're not using it to shoot bullets
I see.. to proc something yah?
yeah... hint ||the stability affects chem launcher||
ahhh
found journey. later missions look pretty tedious yeah xD
there's a LOT of niche interactions like that
you only need to complete 6/8 of them each
I noticed on a lot talents that's the design behind them.. swap a weapon, get the stability or something else to amplify the other stuff that does damage etc etc..
yeah some of them is explicitly mentioned
sometimes, for unintentional or for unknown reasons, they work
shame they fixed the pummel talent XD
well we do know why they work, we just don't know if even the devs intended them to work
there's a lot of wrong tooltips they put in the game too
kind of giving evidence to that latter proposition
If any of you are interested in farming eggs. I discovered this last night. Made a quick video. Shooting a named foam enemy and he endlessly drops eggs.
https://youtu.be/j5rtr0Pvjqk
i imagine pummel working as it did for chem launcher was just a very unintended thing to happen? but probably didn't realize or did but couldn't really fix it compared to other things?
it's just due to how they coded chem launcher tbh. like my guess is they coded it to count every kill rather than specifically weapon kill
so now they fixed it
er, rather how they coded pummel
for me it's too much RNG to find that set up
A strikers build? Its just what i was using. You can use anything
Has there been DZ targeted AR's in the past two weeks? I haven't been on during that time.
for?
i've read either from here or from the other server. AR targeted loot doesn't increase your chances at Eagle or Bighorn it'll still be .02% chance to get it
Potentially to get eagle bearer. Just wondering if it was recently in the rotation. I know it was during 5x leveling xp
quick question about talents.. are certain talents tied only to a specific gear type.. i.e. backpack vs vest?
yes, usually just a backpack or chest
Yes. Also certain weapon types have talents that are unique to that category.
I mean some talents are not even visible in tinkering for vest if I'm tinkering with backpack right?
so that's why people make certain decisions when choosing which set they want to wear and which pieces.. depending on the talents they also need on the vest or backpack right?
is bloodsucker for example only available on the backpack?
Yes
Bloodsucker is only available on backpacks
got it.. I wasn't checking but now it makes sense
well shiiii.. now I have to memorize them which go where 🙂
yes, like striker
would you rather have a striker chest to get 200 stacks which in most things you do outside raid/incursion you'll never really fill up much
well the striker set I'm using I'm using on everything but backpack and vest.. so I can have glass cannon and bloodsucker
but I get your point
it appears to me that vest mostly has offensive mods no?
cause backpack I've seen only 2-3 talents that are worth it
for the longest time everyone would run with a striker or crusader shield with vigilence backpack talent as you'll have a permanent weapon damage boost
though it hink they altered it so that your shield takes a hit you lost vigilence buff, got a huge backlash about it and probably put it back
I noticed people mention vigiliance but I don't know them all by heart yet
a really long time ago, people were enjoying in sync weapon buff with those shields + vigilence for an extreme amount of damage
not sure how the shield interacted with insync, but reading the weapon talent
when your skill hits a target you get a weapon damage bonus, if you get a weapon damage hit you get double the bonus of weapon damage
so if it was 20% you get a skill damage and weapon damage you jumped to 40% damage or something?
yeah I saw that talent
I was wondering what could be the skill that works well with this
i tried it in pve and i felt it was like i'm shooting them with pellets which pissed them off XD
doesn't that talent also count towards like a drone that heals you and lasts like 20 seconds or something? would that count as skill or it has to do damage to the enemy?
like skill damage buff + weapon damage buff = double the damage on both?
yes, it should count just the shield aspect wont' count anymore they patched that
no think it's just doubling the weapon damage buff
oh so the drone healing you for 20 seconds and then you shooting at enemies would give that double buff yah?
nor nah?
oh never mind, it is skill damage increase
yah it would make sense it's only skill damage
but yeah, it'll give you 30% skill damage and 30% weapon damage i think?
and if you have both than 60%?
the 20% is if you use Harmony rifle or the PDR named
that skill/weapon synergy does have potential..
I was looking into it today if something can be done to be useful
from my mind, best scenario is if you find a way to make a completely hybrid build with equal weapon and skill tier with skill damage
i was thinking about that but the issue I have is that so far I'm not super impressed with any of the skills if I'm honest.. they feel clunky usually and don't flow with the combat as well.. the weapon gameplay is great and all but skills I feel are a lot to be desired
I haven't tried them all yet but so far.. it felt so clunky
drone is ok.. but the bombardier is just meh.. by the time you aim and then click the other point the whole squad will pass by
there's too much interaction on some of them to be useful in high paced combat
out of all of them I found drone with 20% DR to be the most useful when running Glass Cannon to shave off that 50% taken damage
you need to try Sacrifice then (> <)
just an extra 10% from 50 XD
named chest let's you do 30% more damage but you take 60% more damage XD
yikes
it's good fun XD
it's basically perfect glass cannon yah?
you run into an NPC's fart and drop to your knees throwing your hive last minute XD
yes
I mean those stats are kind of weak.. perfect would be 30% more damage for 50% taken damage.. lol
now that would make it dope and worth it.. 60% is A LOT
but if I juice up drone to last forever and have 20% DR it would be something
i went to range to test out how a backfire would do with my build. 500k crits. took off turmoil and put on foxes. think i saw some 1 million crits 👀
this is what GC is in descent btw
seriously? 30% more damage but we only take 50% more damage?
i got turmoil with the ultimate purchase I think.. I got 2 sets for whatever reason.. and I gotta say turmoil knees are the beesneez.
I actually like using them a lot
nah, it's impossible to buy them
I mean with the packages I got as a "reward" when I started the game
I got 2 of them .. it wasn't like specificaly turmoil with the order. I just got lucky.. and my buddy saw it since he plays a lot of Div 2 or used to.. and he says, favorite those turmoils 🙂
too bad I am not a fan of descent..
tried it.. not for me
they were just something they gave out like the lexington
so let me ask you guys this.. how do I see momentum stacks and the insane number of bullets as I shoot. I saw that stuff on the hud someone who was streaming DH
i only see them ocassionally
the momentum stacks is the meter on your gun
🤔 ohhhh, hmmm. 3 umbra, 2 striker, Ninjabike backpack tier 5 momentum + Oreo wonder how fast that thing would eat your bullets
you test that recently @small spear ? rpm increased on oreo to insane amount?
i never tested it because it doesn't sheet to have any competitive damage
i feel with that get up, might not even register some bullets hitting your target kind of moment?
yeah i think your rpm would be too high
lol, the build i mentioned i feel that was to high rpm anyways too XD
so what are we thinkin about the handbasket
is it out yet?
no talent just perfect weapon dmg
you got abuild specifically for it?
I just have my high end dps build on rn
my Model 700 is 885.3k is that good?
how much is a difference between 55 and 60rpm?
nevermind my headshot damage on it is butts
140%
need a headshot build
you end up getting that with DTOOC?
thats what it dropped with for me
yo! small question, i haven't played division in a while but last time i played (last year) i noticed that covert hunter was taken out of the apparel caches pool, does that mean caches have a rotation cycle? and if so, can we tell when or if its gonna change?
no clue about the covert hunter bit. i've gotten it but dont' remember how or where
it used to be in the apparel caches, at least it was some years ago.
now its just a pay for it only type thing i think
was it one of those "you finish collecting this set of cosmetics it'd reward teh covert hunter" kind of thing?
😢 mine sucks!
uhhh idrk what u mean by that, i just know it was apart of the drop pool
did you put determined on it? try it out?
best i got with mine is 3,393,386 T_T
ah, need to fix my hotshot build i think
11,882,096 full HH stack
I haven't tried it at all
you'd probably exceed that damage? XD
It'll do 22 million with Hotshot, Chainkiller, Gift
with handbasket?
Yeah
think i mucked up my hotshot build somehow. need to adjust it again :/
besides my handbasket dropped stupidly. magazine size and pressure point 😢
I mean I got DTA and put Determined on, it still slaps without DTOC
handbasket doesnt even have a perfect talent 😢
it's the weapon damage
might be higher than normal i'd imagine?
Much higher than a regular SVD, lower than the usual bolt actions
well another weapon to the stash
nods 60 rpm makes it hard to even want to use XD
Fair enough. You get all the benefits of an SVD but with the damage of an M700, so it offers something different at least
m700 is single shot right?
so svd being auto might be something to consider?
Yep. If you use a scope you don't have to un-scope like you do with a bolt
So you can fire 15 shots and be scoped the whole time if you want to
for me i can fire 16 shots XD
because of my magazine size attribute on it lol
shame pulse isn't considered a status effect 🤔
Jammer pulse is
you cant even hit anything very well past 50 meters due to the sway
That's why you run a build with weapon handling
what if we used Visionario?
55 meters?
No no you don't need that. 3x hotshot, chainkiller, gift, foxes. 20+ million damage to the head with full HH stacks, no sway
One shot most things, two shot if they have a helmet
huh. an svd worth a flip.
Same base damage as 1886 with lower fire rate in an MMR package
just use a .308 at that point
higher base and higher rpm than handbasket
with slightly lower mag size
and both have a magazine reload iirc
Its been my go to since most bolts had their rof nuked
im guessing they actually thought about balancing their new weapon so it didnt fully power creep anything
do you have to have done the theo manhunt on master to get the provocator or can you just do the manhunt on any difficulty
ik its a guaranteed drop on master but I cant tell if you have to do master before it'll drop on the lower difficulties
Master guarantees it, it can drop on any difficulty though.
thats good to know, even heroic was beating my ass lmao
It's brutal, but a lot of fun.
