What does it matter, man's gonna sit in the dz for like ten years and wonder why it won't drop

novel laurel
#

but guys!

#

if it doesnt ever drop how can we prove it doesnt drop!

#

that means it must be possible!

kind veldt
#

man i remember when someone tried to prove bighorn dropped on heroic just to try to make people waste their time

for one week it was implemented the box at the end was able to give out ravenous and EB

#

it got patched out

the first week incursion was out iirc

now remember yall. there are known knowns and that there are known unknowns. But there are also unknown unknowns; things we don't know that we don't know.

I'll have you know that you were not mortally wounded in vain.

weak rock
#

idk how long it lasted but it was a incursion launch bug

inner elbow
#

I mean, what's stopping you from LFG-ing for Raids? If you're not just there to be carried, I'm sure they would be glad to drop an exotic for you. There are groups running raids as many as 30 times a day, the opportunity is just right there.

dry gate
#

on that note.. can someone just give me in a sentence or so what incursions are.. I want to try to group up with someone on challenging or something since i have no idea what to do.. cause I can kill anything on heroic but just to learn the ropes

warm blaze
dry gate
#

how elaborate are mechanics.. similar to countdown or more involving?

#

is there only map for incursion like with countdown?

#

so I can watch a youtube video

kind veldt
#

only one map

warm blaze
#

not very. destroy hidden yellow panels, shoot sprinklers, i forget the rest of them. Ya just watch a youtube video on the raids/incursions to get a general idea of whats going on

kind veldt
#

mechanics are more about coordination and DPS bursts

#

such as baiting a boss into a trap that someone else has to push a lever

#

that kind of thing

dry gate
#

ah.. ok.. I guess i'll watch the video

kind veldt
#

rest is how to handle adds while something like that is going on

warm blaze
#

very similar to incursions in div 1 if you ever did them

dry gate
#

nope totally new to div series

weak rock
#

think of it as a harder mission with harder mechanics and you aren’t told exactly what to do

dry gate
#

yeah ..then it's just easier for me to watch someone else do it to at least have some idea what to do

#

so one mission/map like countdown or it has rotation?

warm blaze
#

ya watch a few videos on them to get a general idea of what's going on. some groups just mow through things.

weak rock
#

only 1 incursion so far

#

(save us brooklyn)

warm blaze
dry gate
#

such a shame they don't have at least 2-3 maps for these modes like countdown or incursion and rotate them on weekly or something

#

I mean they have so much assets from the whole city and missions they could just repurpose it

warm blaze
#

very true. the incursion is in a mansion, the first raid is in an airport and the irorhorse raid is in a trainyard

dry gate
#

yeah they could probably take parts of those encounters and just make these mode maps.. but it is what it is.. I mean even if they sold them as a pack or something and make money to justify the time and effort involved..

#

I mean I remember some missions that were basically happening in the power plant for countdown

warm blaze
#

thats where underground shines so brightly in the division series. it was never the same place. each mission was a whole new layout from the last mission. it was so cash.

#

survival was excellent as well but in a different way

kind veldt
#

incursion and raids have very specific set mechanics

#

dont work randomized

warm blaze
#

very true

weak rock
#

the raids/incursion are completely fine

dry gate
#

I mean I'm not really complaining much.. the game has such variety of content as it is.. differernet environment.. epic moments like capitol building and others.. but just thinking for countdown and incursion they could have probably added a few more maps.. I mean it's not like countdown is seriously mechanic heavy.. go do this objective, then this objective and extract

weak rock
#

the main issue is the lack of them

warm blaze
#

if you see div 1 on sale with the expansions i HIGHLY suggest you grab them and play them.

kind veldt
#

it's because incursions and raid are actually ver ymanpower intensive

#

team had help from other studios for the raids and even them they got delayed multiple times

dry gate
#

that's why I said.. $9.99 for a map pack.. I'm not a young lad, but I remember they used to do this in games quite a bit.

#

anyways.. not to harp on it.. was just saying.. it's a shame there aren't more.. it's very fun game and these things are great

#

I like even Summit.. and Descent is growing on me

warm blaze
#

you would like the underground in div 1 very much then

dry gate
#

what I also like is the intensity of the open world too.. like it's never boring.. always intense on heroic.. rogue agents popping up makes it spicy in unpredictable moments.. overall they did a great job with the design

kind veldt
#

randomized replayable content them summit and countdown are the main thing

#

descent is a different flavour of it

dry gate
#

yeah descent makes me think what to pick and it's a bit of luck and stuff.. which is growing on me

kind veldt
#

well game uses expansions systems

#

new content and part of the future content as part of an expansion

#

at least it doenst force you to buy 17 bad expansions like the other game

warm blaze
#

decent is fun. makes it fresh again casue you arnt a badass with top shelf weapons deleting things at record speed

dry gate
#

yeah .. my only beef with it.. it's a bit too long and they dont' give enough money really to grow your power.. as it gets progressively more problematic.. but then again I picked Glass Cannon as the exotic talent so I probably should have not made that decision 🙂

warm blaze
#

ya glass cannon is a double edge sword

dry gate
#

overall I'm just ranting here to myself really.. I like the game a lot.. more content is always going to be a request

fresh heron
#

[ Puppeteers ] is complete. Now for the

dry gate
#

that's the thing with games who become popular.. it sucks if it's bad but if it's great, it also draws criticism for not enough content 🙂 I've been in entertainment and this business and it's a no win scenario 🙂

14 runs of suffering on [ First Rogue ]

Yeah nah I'm putting this tomorrow, this is rotting my brain

#

what are you doing?

fresh heron
#

Collecting the legacy manhunt comms

warm blaze
#

ooof

sour void
#

My condolences

fresh heron
#

[ Reign of Fire ] is bad, but [ First Rogue ] is even worse

dry gate
#

what is that? comms?

#

I started doing legacy hunts myself

which season is the flame thrower doggo again?

are these collectables you guys are talking about?

from manhunts?

warm blaze

ya the coms that you can get during the seasons

sour void
#

Yeah - probably the ones you get from completing the manhunt/rescue targets.

warm blaze
fresh heron
#

As I've stated before, I thought that Recruiter would be hard, but honestly on normal, you can complete him the first time, and then just run the first two bosses to get the rest of the comms

warm blaze
#

" O its just a doggo this will be easy . . . . . . O DEAR LORD THE PAIN!!!!"

fresh heron
#

But man... [ Reign of Fire ] and [ First Rogue ] got them evil dogs, the only bosses at the end of the damn level!

sour void
fresh heron
#

Like... give me at least 2 comms just for the boss, so its cumulatively 3 comms per run

sour void
fresh heron
#

Oh I already know

warm blaze
#

and the countdown final manhunt mission on heroic is nasty

fresh heron
#

And its got an additional 8 comms

Question. Would [ Jammer Pulse ] knock out Theo's health nuke traps?

sour void
fresh heron
#

😭

sour void
#

Actually, ALL traps need to be shot - they can't be jammed, IIRC

fresh heron
#

Welp. I guess exploding is my best bet

sour void
#

That's why Hunters can't interact with them, especially in Countdown.

fresh heron
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

sour void

But hey, after I finish with FR and then the current manhunt, I'm gonna need to pray to get a matchmake on [ Paradise Lost ] before another round of suffering for Descent comms

You see, you either make people suffer so much they never play the gamemode

You force people to actually team-up to have the hope of completing it

next you gonna give the guy a exoframe made from sparkles and cerebus and the 2 doggos from the first raid

And the boss has an air-to-surface railgun.

i would quit on the spot as a division agent if i saw THAT flying

Maybe you could use a repurposed GAU-8 to whittle it down to size.

walks over to the BTU "Ya'll recruting?"

I think we might be forgetting the most crucial part of suffering

At this point in time i would not be surprised if Wyvern was still alive and the giant hovercraft we never took over is a gundam

what we REALLY need but have never gotten . . . . the rioters heavy

the trash bin warriors need one but ive never been to sure if they are with the silent chain guys or not

sour void
warm blaze
sour void
warm blaze
#

then they need a heavy. someone who uses the side of a garbage dumpster as a shield instead of the trash can lid

#

and with the introduction of the shadow council they need and independent fighting force cause we all know Natalia gonna try and stab them all in the back

fresh heron
#

I'd imagine any survivors from West Side Pier would get together and be forced to share their equipment

sour void
# warm blaze oooooooo nice

The Support class could use an old version of the Supply Station that gives bonus armor.
The Rusher has a Crusader like shield forged from an APC door and a broken riot shield.
Snipers could use explosive mannequins as decoys.
Tanks could use chemical weapons.

warm blaze
sour void
fresh heron
#

Which could also mean that LMB equipment could appear in the drop table for those looking to get 'em

warm blaze
#

we definitely left a few thousand pounds of gear/weapons from the people that got in our way when we took out the LMB

sour void
#

And this is why we need to clean up after ourselves. Lest we want another uprising in someone's name worse than Bliss.

sour void
fresh heron
#

Rioter & Riker equipment is essentially police and personal protection gear, so I'd imagine they'd be reintegrated just fine into JTF or mp equipment stockpiles.

Cleaner gear.... yeah idk you can take their guns but not their clothes.

LMB gear would also be fine with integration into JTF equipment stockpiles

I guess the gas masks would work, but I'm not expecting anyone to be needing a garbage man's vest

I don't think weapon quality control is in the Cleaners' wheel house.

warm blaze
warm blaze
fresh heron
#

CERA or just someone in plain clothes could probably do the job for now

warm blaze
fresh heron
#

Oh no, but clothes are association so until cleaners are actually gone, people will still remember

warm blaze
#

plus the pockets would be handy for snacks and garbage bags . . . . assuming the plastic hasnt deteriorated over time since the pandemice started in game

fresh heron
#

At best, I think the standard cleaner vest would be okay, but it needs to be over plain clothes and nothing more

#

Not under a jacket and not over a jacket, because then it'll be comparable to the other cleaner classes

warm blaze
#

ya i was figuring it would be over plain clothes or jtf uniform. any of the enemy factions would be shot on sight considering everything they have done over the course of the game'

#

and thats the other thing. teach EVERY man, woman and child how to use, operate and field strip/repair the weapons they have. be a lot more useful being able to have guns sticking out evey window if enemy decide to try something on the settlements. JTF have proven over the course of the 2 games they cant handle it by themselves

fresh heron
#

Though I have been wondering

#

The JTF must at least have some very strong bases, to where they have the capacity to airdrop crates from DC to NYC

warm blaze
#

west coast and middle of the usa are a lot more stable if i remember correctly so it probally has something to do with that. it was just the east coast that got rocked.

#

think its still marshal law over there but more stable by far then ny and dc

fresh heron
#

I see

#

Which also makes me wonder where the Black Tusk have their hq, because they for sure have a shit ton of hovercraft and they need some place big to store 'em all

warm blaze
#

Russia: similar to America, government went into hiding, and the country tore itself apart

Asia: mass casualties due to large population, but Japan did ok due to being an island and closed off to all migration

Europe: did well too, had quarantine measures in effect after they saw what it initially did to America.

Africa: badly hit, led to collapse of many countries and governments there with warlords rising to take their place

India: similar to Africa, government fell, warlords rose up, but managed to size several nuclear weapons, so a place of severe concern.

South America: same as America, countries and governments fell apart, with cartels becoming warlords, but I think it’s mentioned that food shipments are still coming from there.

Middle East: badly hit but most governments and countries managed to survive, and now hold a monopoly on oil trade.

some of the info i could find on how other place in the world are doing through coms

Do any of you k is how to open the black tuck lock box in the first part of the tidal basin when you find the black tuck key card

the panel is towards the right back of the balcony when you are looking at it

wish you could get that exotic again and not just the one time to scrap it for the nemesis

Get what exotic me and my tm8 didn’t get an exotic

#

You mean the named sniper

#

That you scrap for the nemesis

warm blaze
#

its named now? booo

#

i could have also been baked out of my gourd and thought it was an exotic

versed tendon

Yea ig now it’s jus a named although what do I use the black tusk key card that’s at that building

warm blaze

it just opens that same door in the hovercraft

the box has a name?

No, adrestia is the original sniper you get there for nemesis

#

Could have gotten the name slighty wrong tho

warm blaze
#

aaaaaa. i though that box had a special name. this box is special there are many like it but none like this one

dry gate
#

are supply drops not happening anymore.. I can't find a single one.. and also learned that supply drops in DZ don't count 😦 Hey at least I got another Pesti out of that DZ

#

when I was leveling up supply drops were non stop dropping.. now not a single one.. do they show on the map at all or you have to stumble upon them in open world

wide briar
#

You won’t get the key on your first run of tidal basin,

#

yah.. I'm gonna pass then.. I got primary objective for exotic to get any supply drop.. but now I have to go do control points first

#

once you deconstruct the adresita sniper rifle you get one part of the nemesis sniper, old quest to get that exotic.

dry gate
#

the irony of noob rng.. so I was still going for supply drop.. you were dead on the money @undone timber and I remember earlier today someone was grinding for Catharsis.. and from the supply drop mission I got it as priority objective..

dry gate
#

some of these exotics are hilarious.. just got shocker punch lol.. are there actually people playing melee builds?

formal epoch
#

its best with st. Elmos for a better effect

dry gate
#

yeah I read.. but just seems strange to use this unless you are going shield melee build or something but the way I've experienced the game so far, I'm not sure if there are actually people doing that type of build 🙂

formal epoch
#

there are its just not seen as much

dry gate
#

I am however interested in the all fire build.. that exotic that does fire spin in 360 and all that.. I saw a lot of fire relevant sets and talents and similar.. that could actually be fun to try

formal epoch
#

thats the firewall special weapon

dry gate
#

i am pretty sure it is using the spinning turret skill and makes it spin 360 no?

#

I'm gonna look up that exotic I got it today

formal epoch
#

i could be wrong i am half asleep from grinding all day

dry gate
#

oh no.. it's the set that does that my bad.. not an exotic

#

Ortiz Exuro

#

makes incinerator turret spin 360 and burn everything

#

in the future I will definitely try this.. sounds fun

undone timber
#

Funny but unfortunately not great

#

If only the turret had a shorter cooldown and longer duration

dry gate
#

interesting.. I read a bunch of talents and gear description and it peaked my interest. Not sure how long the turrent cooldown is

#

oh wow.. 51 seconds

#

yeah.. if it was 20 seconds like the other turrets.. it would be usable for sure..

#

I've seen an exotic or something that cuts the skill cooldown by 100%

#

or was that only for pulse?

#

so I have a question about Catharsis.. basically says 45% weapon damage if you are taking damage on 30 stack. How viable is this in actual gameplay.. Just got the helm an hour ago.

#

memento still beats it with utility and the 300 second daamge buff right?

incursion is brutal. they clap you so fast.. it's not even that I can't kill them.. i can.. but the big guns are shooting, the mortars are landing so you have to keep moving and snipers hit like a truck.. is legendary even worse than this (I mean missions/strongholds?)

legendary is harder still

incursion is a mix of combat and mechanics, legendary is pure combat

and I'm only at the start of the courtyard.. I saw you have to shoot the big guns through the little holes

Legendary is most definitely harder

Do you guys call nearby allies when taking the control points? Is there any difference in loot or xp if I take it on my own?

You have to call allies or you'll never be able to turn the CP green (captured), only white (cleared)

Ah right

If you don't, you can't access the loot room, use it as a fast travel point, and you won't get to deal with the attacking waves of enemies

@small spear if you get a chance.. can you look at this guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wV1BjdPw3kE .. I like this build with LMG he is running.. he's clearly runing striker with 200 stacks and Bullet King.. I'm just curious in the video he shoots out something ahead of him when he finishes the area.. what might be he launching ahead?

small spear
dry gate
#

ah

small spear
#

it's just to fidget with

#

if you shoot it at the sky it does nothing

dry gate
#

so he's not doing it for any specific reason? I thought he was launching it ahead of him in the next area to disrupt them.. but in some areas it makes no sense

small spear
#

well if you launch it at the enemy then it does that

#

but if you see people shoot it into the sky... it's just to do something while you run to next objective

hybrid ore
#

Obligatory: use it on the BT hounds.
You can launch it at them, then trigger the boom to get a second go of it and extend the down-time they get.

dry gate
#

#

so on these legendary difficulties.. EMP sticky and decoy are a godsend right? especially dealing with a lot of dogs

In legendary difficulties you need dedicated builds

dry gate
#

so @small spear on the last night's run.. you were talking about the dog operator.. so if you kill him does the dog stop attacking?

kind veldt
#

EMP sticky also gets a lot more use in legendary because those enemies will spam skills on you

#

so shutting down drone controllers and grenadiers is very important

clever shard
#

no one answers

ah ok

#

@clever shard Sorry, only place to LFG for Raids on this server is that link.
You can also try using discover 🧭 to find the GCrock server. They teach Raids regularly.

dry gate
kind veldt
#

and legendary has more static spawns, so some reason do feel like they have a gimmick or theme

dry gate
#

yeah I noticed that too.. if you play them enough you learn every spawn and the flow

#

I've watched a few legendary solo runs.. it definitely takes practice to get the hang of them

hybrid ore
#

Fun fact: that is also the reason why Legendary can't just be anywhere, and has to be crafted locations for it.

Whoever i was in a group with doing bullshit my power just went out apologies

dry gate
#

I see.. so you know basically what kind of build and how to play each one of them after a while because you know what's prevelent in the encounters.. Tidal Basin seems to be infested with dogs 🙂

#

I am guessing that's also based on the factions in a way too?

zoo basically has at least a medic in every stage after the first 2

oh god that must be a nightmare

legendary is always the white tusks, which are just black tusks with custom modifiers

dry gate
#

ah so it's always the same faction?

small spear
#

always white tusk

kind veldt
#

always white tusks, even on summit

dry gate
#

so @small spear last night.. the fact that we didn't have overdrive/seasonal modifiers is because it was set that way.. it's not necessarily mandatory to play legendary without them?

small spear
#

you never needed modifiers for legendary

#

legendary came out before modifiers

those i think are the exotic firing squads

some random custom rooms that can get some weird and silly encounters

solar marlin
dry gate

#

like shield only units

small spear
kind veldt
#

specially this current season one

dry gate
#

so let me ask this.. are seasonal modifiers always usually OP like this season or they are sometimes not damage based but more utility based?

#

this is my first season so I only experienced overdrive

small spear
#

we don't know, it changes every season, last season's modifiers were a slog imo

unique bramble
kind veldt
#

last season was different damage bonus depending on your range

tender wave
#

This is only the second season to have season modifiers, not much to draw expectations from

rapid prawn
#

This is only the 2nd season with modifiers, last seasons were ok I guess, but some of hte enemy modifers they got were a pain and too specific on how to deal with them. But players got like 1.5x damage at long ranger last season which was kinda OP I thought

kind veldt
#

and the enemy also got some boosts that acted differently depending on their range

dry gate
#

ok I get it.. so in previous seasons it wasn't specifically tailored to give boost to damage per se.. it was sometimes more boosting some other way of playing or skills or similar? or does it will always give some damage boost but not necessarily like this season

kind veldt
#

they tried with gameplay style change with the first one (range) people didnt like it much, they just went for damage and rush this season

rapid prawn
#

I think last season was more about damage from what I remember, I've already forgotten most of the passive modifiers though lol

kind veldt
#

considering what feels like 80% of the game population just running striker, they felt at home

unique bramble
kind veldt
#

case in point last season some enemies reflected damage back if you shot them at the wrong range

small spear
#

last season was about manipulating your range to give yourself more advantage to or less drawbacks from the enemy

kind veldt
#

it caused some silly scenarios, and sometimes annoying ones

dry gate
small spear
#

which gets tedious if you're quite rooted in the position you're in already

dry gate
#

I guess I'm happy I started the game this season 🙂

kind veldt
#

at the same time you had stacking headshot damage everytime you hit enemy at long ranges, extra armor when enemy entered close range and so on

#

it was a mixed bag

#

no clue how they plan to follow up next season

dry gate
#

it would be wise for them to do something similar to overdrive honestly.. I think these type of seasonal modifiers attrack more of newer people to play.. I know I really like it

#

I like the speed, the overdrive sound, the damage boost in a pinch.. feels very nice to play with

ionic sonnet
#

is the 2x xp active in the dz? my lvls aren't counting towards the 100 lvls ?

dry gate
#

so aside from legendary weekly reward.. is there really a point of playing legendary difficulty aside from making it a challenge ftype of thing?

small spear
#

not really

kind veldt
#

it does give really high rolls

dry gate
kind veldt
#

but then you need to be really good to efficiently grind it

#

i dont remember if DZ is having an xp event this week

dry gate
#

you can still get good rolls on heroic though right?

#

it's just they drop maybe more often on legendary? is that it?

ionic sonnet
kind veldt
#

pretty much

tender wave
dry gate
#

that would explain why I'm yet to get like a close to max roll on critical damage for example..

#

I think highest I got is like 11%

tender wave
#

You can get max rolls on any difficulty, it's just the minimum (and therefore average) rolls that are increased in higher difficulties

dry gate
#

still legendary does feel like a choir a bit.. with so much stuff... I can see myself doing it once a week for the experience of the game but doing it often not so much

dry gate
#

I remember someone telling me when i was starting out that I'll be flying through heroic content with no problems in no time.. I thought man, that seemed like pretty hard thing to do.. but now heroic is easy peasy

small spear
#

which, both apply to me

dry gate
#

I'm actually excited to see what's up with the DLC tomorrow..

lunar hare
#

it's already tomorrow? damn

dry gate
#

we know content will be sparse for sure.. but do you expect them at least bringing new exotics and skills?

#

have they done "exotic" gating with any DLCs? Like this exotic only drops from this DLC?

tender wave
#

the only previous DLC, Warlords, had a LOT of gear locked behind it as well as lvl 40, the shd watch, the NY map, skills, and all seasonal content

#

which was only made available to non-WONY players when they did the 'one endgame' update relatively recently

#

we know this dlc will be smaller but it wouldn't be suprising if at least some stuff was locked

dry gate
#

I see.. so they did gate that new content/gear behind it and then eventually opened it up to general pool?

#

I mean listen, I may be biased.. but it's ok to sell something new so you can recoup the costs and then later open it up to others for free..

#

I was just curious how they did it with WoNY

tender wave
#

basically almost everything they introduced with or after WONY required the dlc to access - all new gear added in seasons, etc

dry gate
#

so Countdown was a part of that?

tender wave
#

iirc it was possible for a lvl 30 to get into countdown but it wasn't really intended and they couldn't do much damage. I'm not 100% sure on that though. Almost everyone owned the dlc because it just added too much content to ignore

dry gate
#

I can see that.. the reason I asked is I think you don't see countdown until you finish Keener fight in WoNY

#

but I can see WoNY being like defacto thing that everyone bought.. it just seems to have rounded the game a lot more.. the feeling I have after WoNY story missions as someone who just jumped into this game, is that there isn't really a lot to do in New York.. it almost feels like New York setting was really just made for hunting the rogue agents with a few control points maybe.

#

maybe Brooklyn DLC expands on NY more?

north pendant
#

Just hit 40, what should I do?

#

Just raids and stuff?

molten spire

It should be noted that they have confirmed that Brooklyn will be its own Map, not ingame walkable from one to the other.

so similar approach how we load NY separately?

#

Yep! This was all said in a previous live-stream.
They mentioned this along with Priority Objectives adding in Brooklyn as a spawn-location for the objectives.

tender wave

#

All of the lights (all of the lights)

dry gate
# north pendant Just hit 40, what should I do?

as @tender wave said, as a new player myself.. do yourself a huge favor.

  1. Finish all missions and classified missions (you will have fast travel points there)
  2. Find all safe houses (more fast travel points) - the more you have them faster you move around the map
  3. Farm for Striker set to get you off the ground as it is the strongest set. Look for Striker logo on the map and just farm open world until you have a set to use. This will make it easier for you to switch to hard or higher difficulty and get more XP to level up your watch and your specializations
  4. Finish the Tidal Basin chain of objectives. Complete the strongholds and do it.
  5. Make sure you leveled up your crafting bench to high end so you can recalibrate exotics
  6. Having blueprints for weapon attachments is huge because it allows you to tailor guns with more crit chance or stability and similar.
  7. Every piece of gear you get start filling up your library of talents and attributes. This is HUGE too. Without them you won't be able to easily juice up your builds. Once you extract it will destroy the item however don't worry too much. You will keep getting them. Just fill the library of highest rolls you can get and talents.

Then keep rocking countdown, strongholds, priority objectives for exotics, and keep increasing difficulty as you get stronger and stronger. The higher the difficulty the more engaging the content becomes.

That's 2 cents from someone who started playing like 2 weeks ago or so.

#

P.S. and as a bonus.. if you can't find a good gun or you don't get St. Elmos from farming Countdown or Priority Objectives, do the Hunter Masks secret missions. It will take you a couple of hours. Finish it and you will get 8 ivory keys.. It will give you a juiced up AR at the white house Ivory key weapon box you can use until you get something better and the masks are super cool.

#

oh and also, make sure you focus on Journey steps completion. See the 6 tasks that are easiest for you to do and progress through the journey.. it gives you exotic chests but more importantly it will unlock seasonal passive modifiers that are very handy for builds this season.

also look at the map.. hit R and it will show you logos of the gear that drops in regions of the city. That's how I got mine.

they change the farm spots daily so just check tomorrow if not.. or you can try countdown or summit and do loot drop.. countdown is probably better though.. you have 8 people with you.. just follow the crowd and you also get credits for extraction and later you can buy for 224 credits an exotic chest.. so you are killing 2 birds with one stone

Perfect week to start the Nemesis project, or get that blueprint you been waiting for.

After you get the Tidal Basin piece , change mode for invaded stronghold back to invaded. Complete again for another nemesis piece (stronghold dependent). With any 2 pieces in hand set GWH back to invaded and the blueprint will drop. Nemesis can be farmed from Marksman Rifle Target Loot after that, regardless of project completion.

Look up active clans that you find have more casual friendly and teamwork monikers. Sometimes it's better to go for older folks in their 30s and 40s clans as they are actually busy with life usually but are far more down to earth and helpful. Might not be as active as clans with younger members but you will find people to play with.

This approach is kind of same in every community. Find people who play, be a friendly normal person and you'll have folks to play with. I actually met so many people playing Destiny and Outriders being a part of a clan or just part of the community for the game.

And now I'm still in contact with most of them even though we don't play those games anymore.

@keen pagoda it's still gonna be like Destiny for the first time I guess.. it's not like you can avoid that going through it the first time.. though you should not struggle with damage or anything like that.. I believe Average Player told me they are really more like challenging level difficulty enemies in it so if you can slap those you should be fine.. you just need someone to guide you and explain.

keen pagoda
#

Ah, thanks

hybrid ore
#

Div2 Raids (Iron Horse especially) are closer to something like Last Wish, than one of the Raid lairs.

keen pagoda
#

I left destiny for a more personal reason, I had terrible friends on that game expected me to know everything and had me do these “raid” preps where they made me watch raid guides a week in advance to doing them

hybrid ore
#

Dark Hours is more like Scourge'

inner elbow
#

Maybe I should give Destiny a go, I have a lot of brain cells to expend

dry gate
#

Destiny is fun even you never played it.. it has tons of content but for me personally it's been dead for a while now.. They just went into a poor direction with the game and Destiny 3 is nowhere to be seen. The game is actually not in a good state. But if you just want to have some fun try it.. you'll have a blast as a new player as there's sooo many things in the game even after they removed a ton of it

hybrid ore
#

Reading up on how to run the Raids in both games is useful, otherwise you just make them take ages and your team will hate having to chain-rez you and keep failing encounters.

dry gate
#

I'm curious. I saw Ravenous talent and it reads very wild.. I wonder how the gameplay with it is... considering you are changing sides you shoot from.. I don't have it yet so can't try it.

hybrid ore
#

Mics in them are very useful, but you can run without them. Just make sure your team knows before-hand if you are sans-mic.

keen pagoda
#

It’s not like I was even that bad in raids. I just didn’t know mechanics, I have ADHD and “reading” ahead of time is difficult for me so I just like someone explaining it to me, I absorb it much better then me just reading it

dry gate
#

oh you can watch GCRock's youtube.. or even streams.. he constasntly runs people through

keen pagoda
#

But. I appreciate the advice.

dry gate
#

I watched some of it as I have never done it

inner elbow
#

For a first time clear, just follow the instructions given to you.

kind veldt
#

you can try the incursion first

dry gate
#

so I'm also learning

keen pagoda
#

Sorry I bothered y’all

kind veldt
#

it's on a smaller scale and the mechanics are bit more instinctive

inner elbow
#

Naaah

kind veldt
#

explanations are also shorter

jagged prism
#

Dark Hours is probably a raid that i feel 2-3 people can be carried through
Iron Horse everyone has a role and gotta be kind of on point

hybrid ore
#

Dark Hours is a dps-check, Iron Horse is a raid-raid.

kind veldt
#

dark hours i would say that you only need 4 people to really do it

lunar hare
# keen pagoda Sorry I bothered y’all

Never ever apologize after asking and receiving advice as a newbie/learner. We were all in that situation, no one should be bullied for discovering other games.

hybrid ore
#

It's an over-simplification, but it's important to remember that neither are pick-up-and-play.

kind veldt
#

power creep is real

inner elbow
kind veldt
#

thats why i suggest trying the incursion first, smaller scale

#

well the mechanics

jagged prism
#

which makes me wonder, how would those chainkiller + turmoil fair in Dark Hours especially with them chungas popping out XD

dry gate
#

watching GCRock playing DH, I have to say, I think he carries 2 people every run and teaches them

kind veldt
#

rest of the other 4 players just being generic DPS builds should work

dry gate
#

he also shoots all the easter egg things or whatever it is.. on every run

inner elbow
#

I'm sure if you've done raids in other games, the basic mechanics of every encounter are pretty self explanatory

#

For dark hours at least

jagged prism
inner elbow
#

The moment I saw Buddy and Lucy, I immediately knew what's up

What's up, dogs?

Most people ran FMJ at the time.

i kept mine, but altered it with turmoil and it's made it fun to play it again

dry gate
#

how potent are hollow point rounds?

kind veldt
#

20%damage amp, 45 with chestpiece

dry gate
#

wow that's actually significant

kind veldt
#

Okay solo, great on teams

hybrid ore

#

I hope that when I finally get the chance to get to try the raids and especially Paradise Lost: The Largest Struggle, I'm not gonna be railed for not having the "best meta build"

hybrid ore
#

You probably know it as the Standard Red DPS build now.

fresh heron
#

Because honestly, build building really isn't my thing

jagged prism
hybrid ore
#

@fresh heron Luckily, you don't need to do any work for the builds outside farming them, our resident nerds have collected all the meta nonsense and put it in big guides for you to read easily.

#

#td2-build-advice > 📌 > spreadsheet 2 > builds. Just make Strikers for now, that works in most things.

fresh heron
#

Well not that, actually making those builds would be time consuming for me

#

Because of my preference of not wanting to ever touch DZ

kind veldt
#

I still remember how the second raid was just a full firing squad running M1A

hybrid ore
#

This is a looter-shooter, if you don't want to loot, you don't get to shoot.

#

You don't need anything from the DZ.

jagged prism
dry gate
#

DZ is just fun to switch it up a bit honestly.. and Descent is really growing on me.. though I can't do it more than two tries as it's so long

fresh heron
#

Forgot about that

dry gate
#

plus countdown gives you credits for the vendor so basically exotic gear too

jagged prism
#

DZ stuff you can practically buy named caches

hybrid ore
#

Make sure you run Countdown on Challenging, it's about equal to Heroic quality loot (since weird scaling), and you can find a group < a minute.

jagged prism
#

only dz items you can' really obtain is Yahl and System Corruption aside buying legacy caches or i heard they come in the dz caches or conflict caches as well

dry gate
#

though I did get bunch of credits so I bought like 4 exotic chests

hybrid ore
#

Oh boy.

#

Countdown's Exotic drop rate is bad even if you could run it on Legendary.

dry gate
#

what's the difference in credits you get from extraction on challenging vs heroic.. significant or not that much?

hybrid ore
#

Bugger all.

jagged prism
#

uh oh, riven's losing it XD

dry gate
#

cause I would probably run challenging if not cause challenging is super super fast

hybrid ore
#

You will occasionally get an Exotic from within CD, but the bulk of them will come from the Exotic caches.
These days, Priority Objectives are just as good for farming Exo's, if not slightly better, but that's debatable.

kind veldt
#

I think might be something close to 20 points?

hybrid ore
#

@jagged prism my australianness came out in force today.

dry gate
#

Priority Objectives are NUTS.. I got like 10+ exotics last night

kind veldt
#

Or whatever you call countdown money

dry gate
#

literally 2 min missions for an exotic

hybrid ore
#

Countdown Fun bucks.

#

Think of the Hunters as pinata.

countdown biscuits

dry gate
#

I like countdown biscuits

jagged prism
#

countdown bribe

hybrid ore
#

Every time I'm in Countdown, I do think of getting to the chopper as winning that tea-kettle.

dry gate
#

I always "get to tha choppah" for extra biscuits

jagged prism
#

i have to be bribed or desperate to run countdown (> <)

dry gate
#

I can see myself becoming a bit noxious if I ran it like million times.. but that's why I spice things up

#

a bit of that, a bit of this.. a bit of open world..

#

I was getting clapped solo in Incursion last night for trying it out for like 30 mins.. boy that was not fun

formal epoch
#

incursion is not ment for solo

dry gate
#

well how will I be a bad ass if I don't do it solo? 🙂

fresh heron
#

Paradise Lost: The Illusion of Difficulty Levels

hybrid ore
#

PL always scales to Heroic+

dry gate
#

yeah I learned that first hand 🙂

hybrid ore
#

It's like how in Raids, they're more like Challlenging++

#

If you pick the shorter options for Prio's, you end up getting through them a lot faster.
shout-out to the DZ ones, which are always like "open a crate" or something else quick.

formal epoch
#

open a crate or capture a dz drop

dry gate
#

are juicy crates in DZ always at the same spot or randomized?

lunar hare
#

same

#

wait drops or actual crates?

dry gate
#

anyone made a map for them so I can learn them lol

hybrid ore
dry gate
#

the crates .. bigger ones

hybrid ore
#

They're the ones that need a key.

dry gate
#

I saw a guy running DZ just for them

#

he runs through everything and opens them up.

lunar hare
jagged prism
lunar hare
#

I have images with the paths if you want them

hybrid ore
#

Every now and then, I get super focused on just doing random Prio's, it's a great way to test out builds in varying content.

#

So far, OD+Memento has been the best for the widest range of them.

dry gate
jagged prism
dry gate
#

that's what I don't get.. when I try to do that.. the game starts spazzing out and is like nah you can't do that

#

or sometimes won't even change my skills or other shenanigans

jagged prism
#

the swapping gears in combat is more of. click on mask, change it to this, and you do that for all 6 gears, then you pick your weapons same way

fresh heron
#

Alrighty.... 10 more hellish runs of [ First Rogue ]

jagged prism
#

skills can't be on cooldown or deployed to swap them

dry gate
#

cooldown prevention is lame honestly.. it should just cancel out your deployed skill and use the different skill and put that new skill on cooldown.. on longer cooldown skills it's just annoying

#

but I'm just bitching for no reason I guess.. it is what it is

jagged prism
#

if i'm understanding what you're talking about with skills, it'd be broken and people would abuse it in DZ/Conflict
let me throw out my seeker mine. oh seeker mine on cool down, swap to stick bomb next and so on

dry gate
#

probably I haven't experienced all the scenarios.. but if the new skill is selected it's still on cooldown

#

so they can't just use it right away.. if that makes sense.. that's how Bungie actually handles their skills

#

if you change it.. it will take away your currently active skill, then the new one you put on won't be immediately available but it will have to go through the cooldown.. if that makes sense

jagged prism
#

oh ok, yeah no clue why the want us to wait for the current cool down, then swap

dry gate
#

probably complexity in making it work differently

jagged prism
#

i don't recall if our new skills we selected has a cool down on it as well or if we can use it right away. i feel there's a cool down but it's a quick 1-3 second

dry gate
#

because their code underneath is probably doing so many other things, like triggering and checking for mods to calculate how some things work and what gets triggered etc etc.. there's a TON of stuff underneath that happens with calculations so I'm guessing to revamp it would be a lot of work

jagged prism
dry gate
#

yeah .. I can't even imagine really in Snowdrop.. in Unreal Engine we have something called Gameplay Ability System (ironically GAS) 🙂 .. the engine itself has it done for you so you just work with that

jagged prism
#

huh, in another discord server someone was mentioning how hard UE5 is to mod on. considering a new game came out remastered in UE5. i commented give it a few weeks to month i'm sure some people will have mods on it by then. looked up UE5 Release oh 3 years and people can't mod on it yet?

dry gate
#

well not sure about modding.. but UE 5 and 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5 have had MAJOR additions to the engine.. so maybe that affects it.. each version of it brought some huge additions to the engine.

#

also they added some more security to the engine when compiling it to make it harder as well as bigger publishers are now all switching to it so they are really ramping up security and encryption on compiled builds

jagged prism
#

they just commented people haven't figured out how to mod with it yet

wide briar
#

@dry gate you can swap a build with skill on cool down if the load out has that skill on it. The hot swapping just takes practice lots of painful practice. If memory serves correct you could switch load outs if your skill replenished x amount.

Why is it that after doing the mission to get the bluescreen blueprint I still can’t buy it from the vendor at the White House?

I remember it being the reward for captain Lewis manhunt mission at JTF.

How do people get CHD in the 150-170 range? I max out at 100. Is it simply optimization?

tender wave
#

Depends on the build (gearset pieces have fewer stat slots than brandsets), but with watch levels, weapon mods, all crit stats on gear and mods, and crit brands.

lunar hare
hybrid ore
#

The SHD level boost of +20 can help a heck of a lot, especially on a Striker setup, which is what we mostly assume people are asking about.

#

Honestly, even if you have it at just north of 100, you are pretty much fine. That extra % will help of course, but it's not going to make or break a build.
