anyone know of a decent website for collectibles, with maps and whatnot
Can anyone help me and my dad do the tinkerer mask mission on master this sh*t is aids
This game doesnt have cross play. Gotta ask the right questions in the right place
Look dm
is there a way to see in game time
Pause and top right, above season tab
oh nice, ty
birdie's backpack + refactor is the funniest shit I've ran in a while
I like that we're getting double triple quintuple xp events but i wish they did like double loot events. Master mod events etc etc
is there anyway to update your character's inventory on the pts? usually my builds are the same on the pts as they are the regular version, but this time they are not for some reason.
Nop. They take a save of your char x amount of time before the pts and thats what you gotta work with
PTS is a snapshot of your character froma few weeks ago
Well, that sucks. I really didn't want to have to coin flip on the climax mission to get a tinkerer mask on the pts
Hi
Hiya
Hello
I matchmaker into someones mission and they have specifically the directive w no mini map indicators which is so frustrating and stupid
Better than fragile armor imo
Just gotta know the spawns
I am nowhere near comfortable w this game to play w no mini map lol that is crazy

you'll play long enough and one day be comfortable with it tbh
So I just got an oxypecker from an exotic cache
New favourite gun unlocked
most people have written it off, but I'm a sicko who enjoys using it
My condolences
It satisfies my ADHD cause spinny lazers
I run 4x Striker, exotic Exodus gloves, Ceska Obliterate chest, one blue core, gunner, shield + decoy
I'm with you on the 4x striker plus exodus
Shield and hive
Made it to shd 550es next weekend I’ll get to 600
the blue core gives you just enough to outpace incoming damage (have to be a little careful at the start of an engagement when you don't have full stacks), and you mostly have to use it to just cover yourself while firing, rather than trying to full-on facetank enemies
For sh1ts and gigs I'm using festive delivery backpack too
stay near cover and get back in it when you need to reload
Just got a 2nd agent to level 40 so I'm just enjoying the endgame grind again. Got it from a cache after running CD for a st elmos
I'll take oxy instead
It's far from stupid....if you've run a mission more than twice it's the easiest of all the directives to have on.
Enemy spawn points never change
My most hated is cool skills, fragile armor, ammo hoarders and pistolero
Having to wait for nighttime for hunters is so boring
You...you realise this is an open world game...with dozens upon dozens of different things you can do to pass the time right?
Like...that's the literal purpose of the entire thing...
Except i have my world on normal with certain control points taken to make the tasks easier
Control points can be reset.....and taking them back is less than 3 minutes work.....probably a minute or so on normal...
Boring af tho
PRobably because you're on normal....
Thats not really how i learn games like this though. I need yo keep replaying all of the content over and over so i memorize shit like “optimal pathing” and spawn points and whatnot even tho theyre static
I'm not gonna go get one tapped by hunters in heroic
What and where exactly are these hunters you're waiting for to spawn?
This is because i have poor memory and only learn things through repetition
the ones for the masks and ivory keys
So you just....don't want to play the game and instead are standing around? Weird
I would rather just do the task i wanna do instead of having to wait, is that so crazy
Yep. Time travel doesn't exist so.....just do something else until time.....obviously that's less boring than standing waiting.
damn Division 2 is real life...
Why not let the game have cool easter eggs brother
Weird thing to say when real life wasn't mentioned?
Theres no time travel in the game.
Some things ”should” be handed out, other things should be earned lol
"earned" by waiting 30 minutes 😭
Those masks are sick and the work you put into getting those masks make them more gratifying imo
idm having to do stuff i just think the waiting part is lame
UNless you do them on easy mode 😉
But there is no waiting needed...literally just do ANYTHING else
what is the preferred minor attribute for lmgs? dta?
chc
Crit Chance
rof
Talents vary according to the build
why do i always see the mg5 recommended as the high end lmg when it seems like other high ends have higher dps?
the stoner looks like top of the pack with sustained dps
So i got the tinkerer now…..i have no idea what type of build to cook. Kinda thinking about a strained & steady handed combo rn
Who reccomends the MG5?
NEGEV is the best LMG
because nothing cares about sustained dps, it's all about burst dps
I always default to the stoner bc of frenzy icl
Its so dumb w frenzy especially on gunner
do all shotties fire the same amount of pellets? how many?
always 8 pellets
isn't the best frenzy gun the m249 now
is master technically a step above or below legendary?
When is gamescom?
below
new here. did all the required quests for the Manhunt event for the tinkerer mask. When does the time limit to get the mask actually end?
Get your act together devs and stabilise the servers already. Server crashed and Delta me, was in a queue of 88 so it's not just me.
There isn't one....
After the end of the season the seasons exotics are normally put into general loot pool
Why don't you go work at Ubi and show them how to fix everything 👍
how long will it take to go from season lv1 to 100? i dont know if i have played any of this season
few days lol
i can play 17hrs a day
Tbf the servers are buns for so many reasons
yeah so maybe 2 days
man what a pain been waiting for what seems to be years for lexington
You're not doing 1-100 in the season pass without an xp boost in a few days
true, but 17hrs a day?
balls i forgot div 2 has 2 dlc now and i dont have them due to playing on uplay+
Dlc aren't required for anything...so not sure why that matters?
my toon has done both and has gear from both
dont know what happens never tried playing my main toon when i dont have u+
If you're playing a game for 17 hours a day you need different kinds of help.
But still, at 17 hours a day you're looking at a week
how long is the gun going to be here?
Stretch goals start on 19th, and will be here until the end of the season
when will that be not been on in ages
so what does happen to my gear if i try to play her without dlc?
Nothing
but i cant use the gear right?
Playing the game and finding out would be the best course of action
U just missed the Season Pass event🕊️
i have had games brick saves or remove al content that belong to dlc before
well that sucks
Not many, if any, games have ever bricked a save or removed content for a dlc you don't own. It's normally just locked behind owning it....
i didnt miss it, guy who asked did. thats probably why i said it would take a couple days lol, i had 5x season xp when i did it lol
fallout new vagas xbox360 tes4 xbox360
if you are wondering why so long ago well its due to not wanting to ever brick my stuff again
I mean there are at least two weeks if you start now
might still need that bucket and cancellation of your other obligations but it's possible
dont have any and im already pissing in a bag
get cracking then
Is there a solid grey weapon skin?
im on 65
then youre set
Elcipse build with vile mask then go open world/Challenging/5Directives utilise chem launcher and farm Public exec activities 2lvls per run
never done any chem launcher stuff
Is the tinkerer mask a rng drop if it’s not on master
afaik yes
Run priority objectives. Strongholds give solid season xp return. If you have more than 1 agent you can also run prio on those to bypass the cooldowns after abandoning.
Run through any projects that have season xp as a reward
is there a way to get a cache with all the exotics in the PTS like in the past?
is anyone getting a glitch where you kill the final boss of the tinkerer mission and the mask doesnt drop?
(on masters)
You only get the Mask on first Master completion
we were doing the first mater completion, we killed the boss but nothing happend, the mask didnt drop and the doors wouldnt open to allow us outside
like tuhmater, but without the tuh
so i just got an exotic gun i want to drop but im only level 30 will i be able to upgrade it to level 40 when i get there?
y
IIRC when I got it for that first guaranteed master clear, it's not a drop from the boss but a mission reward. so if you didn't actually complete the mission, you won't get it
So is the pts only available to play in the US because im in Europe and haven't been able to play it for 2 days due to Mike 01 errors
Tinkerer mask is fun, very nice exotic
I’m grateful everyday Massive changed apparel caches from what they were before
That was the most dumb lootbox attempt i ever saw up until that point
does anyone know if leaving national bond armory mission early without completing it will put me on cooldown?
I'm surprised some players can still play the game. I can't play it because the ground textures are not there. I can literally see nothing. The cover animation doesn't work. And like the game freezes, they really have to get on top of that. I guess console players really are given the Short end of the stick
Like, i've already post a picture with a previous message
What console are you playing on
Xbox
Yea but one? One x? Series?
I'm firing ACR SS(rifle) fullauto...is this a bug or specified so?
most rifles are full auto now
Cuz ik xbone got issues running that game
omg they have been updated rifle like this?
maybe you guys can help me. i have been playign and the game starts to stutter really bad affter a few minutes of playing. like what even is that. I nnever had to change the resultion setting for this game. Anyt reason as to why this has happened or if its happening to others?
I've played on the same xbox one for 8 years and just had one maintenance recently, I never had any issues with Division itself, I think it's more on your end. Talking from experience btw
Bruh no duh yo shit cant run right that console is old as fk😭😭😭😭
Its an Xbox One S
that one is newer than mine, as I said before it may be on your end why your game is having issues now
Div2 is from 2019, any console from the time should be able to run it.
wonder if its overheating... ever cleaned it?
I mean, yeah, I did clean it.There was a little bit of dust on it
I'm not entirely sure about that. Because I wouldn't know how to take it apart and do that
there's youtube tutorials.
the S version of the xbox one is easier to take apart than mine so go for yt tuts
Thanks for the tips
is anyone else having problem connecting with PTS> keep getting mike01
it's about screws and not fkn strength or whatever it is for mine lol
I had similar issues with my ps3 back in the day, I really should open that up and give it a clean out.
Yea but if the ACTUAL console itsself is old, its not gonna run as well as a newer version of that console
xbox one s is from 2016, that means the console should be able to run div1, and certainly div2.
try the methods mentioned here so far, there's no reason it should stop working if the console isn't internally busted somehow.
Consoles are just lower-end PC parts, built-to run in a specific way.
So there's always that chance I guess.
if ur on steam steam players dont have access to the pts
Also what SHD level should i be before MMing for legendary content? Ik i can technically jump in at any point but idk if there was a better time to wait and start tackling high end content
I’m at 250 rn, so kinda experienced but not too experienced
why? Do I have to download a seperate client?!
idk tbh
you must own the game on Ubisoft or epic i believe to be able to play it
I own the game...
yes but did you buy it on ubisoft connect instead of steam
You can't access the PTS through steam.
Ubi-connect only (maybe Epic/pgGamepass, but not 100%)
@languid bay It's more about your build and knowing how to use it, rather than a SHD level.
All SHD does is give you some freebie bonus stats and the tiniest sliver of extra health.
ive heard smth abt epic working tbh but not sure cuz i dont have
The tl;dr about the PTS is that it used to only ever be via ubi-connect, but IIRC they're trying out other options.
just got done with a 1.5 hour leg manhunt and it broke twice so couldnt even finish it. so frustrating man. we killed keiko and her LOOT DROPPED but her death didnt trigger the win, then she wouldnt come back out for her 3rd phase
complete waste. so infuriating
But I was able to do the PTS previously with steam?!
this stuff doesnt even happen on any other difficulty but legendary lol
@vernal void It's clearly bugged out then.
@hot ruin An hour and a half?
90 minutes?
yes we would have beaten it in like 45 minutes, but the boss bugged out twice
literally never have boss bugs EXCEPT in legendary
5, 400 seconds of Legendary? Wait, legendary, not Master?
legendary
Manhunts can't be done in Legendary.
I think you were tricked into doing a Legendary farm.
well thats very interesting because the backup call was for legendary, and it felt like legendary
and it was definitely the manhunt
Then it was Master difficulty, which is close but not quite at Legendary.
the tl;dr is that Legendary is a specific difficulty that is only available for the strongholds/summit, because you always fight the same faction, known as "White Tusk".
i guess it must have been master, the backup request literally said legendary though lol
fun fact: In Legendary, you can't just run it anywhere, since it has unique spawns and such, which is why they can't just add it to all missions.
the issue i think i got is that it could not connect with ubisoft servers. Previously I was able to do so on previous PTS. MIKE-01
that is especially disheartening then lol, so much time just for a master that ive already done
You can always tell its Legendary, as you fight Black Tusk that fell into some white paint.
and the icon up the top of the screen looks like the heroic one but "more".
yeah i should have known, oh well
for whatever reason, felt harder than the master i literally just did, and bugged us out of the boss fight twice
Where was the location?
it was the current manhunt mission that everyone is doing
Yeah 100% Master then, as Potomac Event Centre can not be Legendary.
Legendary consists of DUA/Tidal/Manning Zoo/Capitol/Roosevelt/Summit.
yeah i understand, which again makes it especially frustrating because i genuinely thought it was legendary since thats what the backup request literally said and it felt harder than the msater i just completed of that mission lol
The words in a back-up request will often be wrong, or perhaps just not updated fast enough when they change things.
what a waste lol
e.g. if it says "open world normal", expect Heroic.
they reused the legendary difficulty for master. you can try matchmaking for legendary around now and half of the time you'll get pulled into the manager master
that doesn't mean master and legendary are the same; they just reused the difficulty cuz they couldn't create a separate one for master
six different difficulties are silly, you dont want ot reach 7 thats when things get extremely silly
Just know that in spirit, I'm posting the onion article about "going to 5".
but not in reality, because the title.
whats with the turmoil knee pads why are they saught after
Hopped into DUA Legendary MM expecting to get obliterated and i did good kinda at first but im still getting cooked crazy this shit is hard.😭😭😭😭
11k SHD level vet save me…..
@spark drift Talent for Turmoil Knees:
When dealing Weapon Damage to an enemy, 50% of the damage will be dealt to another enemy within 30m instead. When there are no enemies nearby, deal damage normally. Does not apply to Armor Plates
I thought this was considered bad?
i know what they do. i wanted to know why people like them trait seems bad
HH bonus applies to the split damage
Really annoying to stack up but once you do you get a 2 for 1 discount on all shots
My 1886 setup rn uses turmoil and dch it's pretty fun
It used to double dip DTA as well but I think they patched that
has anyone else found a solution to the PTS Mike01 lockout
high enough damage means that you kill two things fast, since it can hit things in cover, behind walls or multiple objectives
niche scenario, you can destroy both weakpoints in the tidal basin rocket launchers by just shooting one
focus fire in the tank enemy and see all others around also drop
It's essentially pocket negotiators with an added HH gimmick
not exotic so doesnt take any important slot and it's a talent on something outside of chest and backpack
Is tinkerer locked behind master difficulty? Some things I’ve read have said it can drop on lower just not guaranteed others say it’s master only
It is only guaranteed on master, it isn't locked behind it
Cool thank you. Was worried I was wasting my time on challenging
I wish they used all the awesome side content areas they made for this game for manhunts
Coney Island is gorgeous id kill for a real reason to go back there other than “farming”
Coney has 2 manhunts and 2 main missions already
its not master only ... i think heroic is like 5%? master is 100% first completion
Thanks. I’m not quite ready for master so imma stick with heroic and hope
Hey everyone, I am trying to complete the week 12 obj 1 mission in crossroads. It says to do 3 invaded black tusk, but I cleared all my invaded missions before I unlocked this, I tried resetting all my control points and the invaded areas didn't come back. is there any way I can do this or when / how do I get them to reinvade the map?
Head to the missions themselves (the same ones that were already invaded this week), open mission options and 'toggle mission mode' to change them back to invaded, then you can run them again. You can even just pick one and rerun it 3 times.
Brother you're the best thanks
Tbh it should have already counted for you though since manhunt scouts unlock as soon as the week starts and don't require you to have done the previous scouts first
is the bug of the scorpio skin fixed? where it crashes if you use it on a loadout
Yeah they fixed that a while back
omg i love you thank you for confirming it instantly ❤️ i appreciate it
Do the new cat backpacks come with additional PFE? 👀
I mean enemies would think 2x to shoot me in the back now, right? 😄
i think they have not done scout 8 before this week so scout 12 was locked when they were running invaded this week
comes woth meow meow sound effect for teammates 😹
Yeah I noticed, I'm so in love, can'T focus o nthe game 😄
I can't connect to the server
Yeah I just came back to the game this week after 4 years. Have almost 2000 hours into division 1 and had 500 hours in division 2, really enjoying it now.
I'm going to enjoy running with friends who have it...puts a big target on their back 🤣
whats the chances for tinkerer drop? 10%?
100% on master difficulty
Isnt that only for first master clear?
yeah
Exactly, many reacted like this 😄
That's why it should come with extra PFE 😂
without first clear drop rate is pretty bad i think cz completed master already 6-7 times and no extra tinkerer drop
one of my teammates has that backpack and other teammates were thinking theo master has cats becz of that sound effect 
i mean the 2nd one
Can't do master not a regular like that lol very casual ...so like would I have to repeat the mission on challenging for like 10-15times for it to drop ?
Challenging or heroic, or mm on master and hope you get a good group
10-15 if you're lucky.
and tips for getting another chill out mask
try this #news-and-announcements message
Farm stretch goals next week (get your season lvl to 100 before then) and hope for a drop
i got college two days after the event drops
Just realized, PVP could be weird with it.
Folks who didn't see the backpack before will be distracted for a bit, and well the meows should make for some funny confusions there as well 🤣
Damn
Wait fr?
Oh m hoppingon to try to get one when I get off work
@full zinc do you mods handle art bots and vice versa? caught one from this server
Hello I wanted to ask everyone i havent played in a couple years and wanted to start fresh and work my way up and through the game. But i wanna know is the game in a state where everything is a grog to get to? Will starting fresh set me back more than i would enjoy the grind back up? Would be happy with a little guidance please
We can't answer that question.
We can give our opinions, and my opinion is that if you haven't played for a long time. Going through the game again will help bring back some of those skills required for higher difficulties
which is the best place here to post a screenshot (Div 2 related)?
thanks
You can send a message to @trim crag to talk about this stuff
The new gear set in Y7S2 looks pretty good
Finally have something to pair my Quiet Roar and Centurion's Scabbard with
yes kind of cosmetic item that literally tells others hey look at me 😂
Does anyone know how to remove the dye from the backpack, which is broken and keeps reappearing after logging in again?
tdi kard is just a random drop right? nothing special? shd 555 now and i dont think ive ever had one drop
well that explains it
@hot ruin It is also available (like all the DZ named items) via the Named Item cache, whch you can farm right now from the Global Event vendor.
Almost 2 days left for stretch goals and for the xp you just do mission and activities etc or there’s a good way to farm those 10 extra lvls?
tdi custom drops from legacy caches as well, got 2 in around 20-30 caches in last 1 month or so
priority objective + stronghold
directive doesn't give extra season xp, modifier does give 10% extra
and yes heroic stronghold with matchmaking is fastest way to level up, last pay day event was also like that, got 20 season level in 1.5 hr
Nice thanks for the tip
Yikes my game really doesn't like me
Game crash the moment I enter the manhunt arena, I relog, and now I've got the worst ping known to man
ok so i just went to go down a ladder and my character swung around the top of it and immediately started sliding, it was awesome. now i cant figure out how i did it
sprint button
i always sprint
Server restarted, got rollback like 20 minutes. Entire progress/loot lost. My luck...
ctrl
what does that do by default? my controls arent standard
Servers are worsening, game becoming unplayable. Feel like the devs ignoring the situation.
@twin snow Just for a laugh, every now and then try not to be relsentlessly negative.
relentlessly maybe?
when u r in rope/ladder pressing ctrl instantly slides the char down
Server broke again. 3 days in a row. 😠
MAX CHD MOD LET'S GO
2 more to go
Hard crashing/extreme ping spikes?
oh yeah i know, im saying my character didnt mount the ladder normally, she swung around it and instantly slid down
Oxpecker by far the most ridiculous looking gun in this game
Hmm so no PTS channels this time?
Check #news-and-announcements for access
Twice today I had to forcibly close the Ubi launcher because Div2 wasn't loaded correctly and both times Easy Anti-Cheat was like 'violation detected'
theres a option to do that maybe u enabled it
happened during regular play, didnt change any settings. now i cant repeat it
I get rubber-banding sometimes on ladders when sliding down, and there's one in Manhattan in particular that it always happens on but I don't remember where exactly
Whats the best activity for leveling season pass? I’m at 45 trying to hit 100 so I can get the Lexington
scouts and journey if you havent finished them, for grinding on repeat do priority objectives, dont need to use directives on it but season modifier helps
how do u get the catharis for a friend who doesnt have it? I alredy have it.
I did get mine from exotic caches and randomly from an open world drop
Personally, I'd farm countdown and have them grab the exotic caches as their best bet at getting the mask is caches
is there a faster way if i farm it for him? I alredy got the mask
Run countdown with them and target mask
Do loot target on mask and hopefully you get Dupe and drop it for him in countdown ofc
IIRC Catharsis is bugged out in some way, re: drops.
wdym?
It isn't In the TL pool, you have to get it as a reward(priority obj) or from a cache
I think it's a waste of an Exotic so I've never bothered to look into it, but I think yeah, you have to get it via a special reward, like what shadow' said.
so exotic caches?
Priority Objectives are faster to earn, just make sure the reward is "exotic".
Exotic Caches via Countdown credits are nice too, and you might get something else you need from the TL in there.
Yes
These servers are unplayable get a grip
I don't have most the issues you guys are mentioning and I play on all 3 platforms
@echo bone Rule 11, tone down the negativity.
Yes, I do have an issue here and there, but it's not an everyday occurrence
I almost never have issues, and when I do its a server connection issue. Once I am in game it is 99% hassle free. I think I drop a mission like... 2-3x a month?
Been happening for hours now and other than CD random disconnects I get no issues
I have a feeling that the people who have "unplayable" issues have a client side problem they don't know about or want to admit.
Who kicked the servers? Just disconnected at manager boss fight 😭
Probably just your own client bro that's what the smart guys think anyway
Then I went to dark zone and disconnect again.
My biggest issue with servers is when I'm in countdown and randoms grab the main obj chest, for those who don't know if you grab the orange chest at main obj you run the risk of crashing your game and others games whether you opened it or not
Yup
I never claimed to be smart, I'm just saying that across 3 platforms I'm not constantly crashing like some of the people in here are talking about, it could very well be a server issue, all I'm saying is don't rule out you're own connection being the issue
Your ISP is another possible culprit
A friend of mine used to have frequent issues, which went away once they reinstalled windows, to remove the crypto miners that all their questionable downloads had put on their PC.
I keep both of my consoles hardwired with ethernet to help avoid crashing issues
You can run an internet speed test, then start up TCTD and run it again, see if there are wierd discrepencies, you might be getting throttled
Good old ookla.
All else fails, make sure it is powered on and connected to the internet.
is golden bullet cooked for the master mission? I see people running it when i matchmake and i worry everyone will just get one tapped on the boss
I had no issue with golden bullet for master boss is just gonna one tap anyways so it's easy enough to suppress her
I ran it with the seasonal modifiers and Golden Bullet on Master and both seemed fine.
The only difference is really for the people that run the backfire build that depends on the seasonal modifiers
Yea same here, only thing was some dude said dont shoot her nade, fire element and left one hound alive and we got it
The mask**
How does one get a second tinkered mask ? Luck from a heroic / master run ?
Idk I had no luck on heroic 3 runs nothing then with a group nothing well 6x and no drop
welp i have a dumb bug that hasn't been fixed.... it won't let me toggle any of the missions that were invaded back to invaded and it could be because i've done the weekly invasion
are you on site toggling it or in the map toggling?
in the map toggling it and i checked which missions were invaded too
go on site and try it there. ive seen map get bugged out like that before
because i wanted to do jefferson trade center again for a scout objective
yeah, just tested. map was bugged for me too, but was able to toggle at the menu thats at the start of mission
shoot me your ign if you cant get it and you can use my map
i got it on mine
nice got my tinkerer
btw is the acs-12 a good shotgun for striker?
the best
lmao the golden bullets trivializes legendary. just randomly queued for district union after i built a little 200 stack striker/tinkerer setup and these dudes were melting everything, did the mission faster than most heroic rounds
i didnt even get golden bullets once, teammates were hitting so hard they were spawncamping every encounter
gg team
i was on reddit and i found out that the chinese version of td2 has a 32 player pve DZ called “blocked dark zones”
something like that as a DLC would be crazy
kinda like last stand
Can you get chatterbox from hyena boxes or only exotic cache?
you have to build the chatterbox by getting the hyena box and following the breadcrumb trail from there
it’s a whole scavenger hunt, kinda like nemesis.
Ok that’s what I meant thank you. Player from launch and I’m getting heavy into it again so learning the game basically all over
yeah, there’s a lot to do now that the game has been out for 7 ish years.
it’s real fun once you know how everything works, but it takes time
just don’t rush things or else you could burn out.
I find it super easy to level compared to launch. With the directives and all that.
well it’s easy to level up past level 40, since most activities give a bunch of XP
it’s just getting to level 2,000+ that takes time
Chinese version also has a playerbase of 90%+ cheaters lol
sucks, but if we had that, as a heavy DZ player i’d be forever grateful lol
If it is more or less allowed, are they really cheaters?
i am starting to get pissed off with this manhunt
It is talked about a lot, but there is a reason that the Chinese Servers are different than ours, they are pay to win with no anti-cheat.
what manhunt igame?
Go on
I mean yes, but it's part of their culture and is widely accepted and encouraged. So it's whatever, doesn't affect me
the manager one
it just sucking for ya or haven't gotten the mask yet?
the concert hall is pissing me off a lot, i might have to wait till the end of the season before i can complete it since i am close to smashing something out of rage
If I wanted to farm for force multiplier in countdown, should I target loot backpacks or Hann U, which is more optimal?
hana u
In what way?
Always target the brand, not the type unless looking for exotics. Targeting type will give you e.g. backpacks from all general pool brands
you have nowhere to hide at all
What? There are plenty of places to hide...you literally don't have to move from the door way lol
as soon as you enter the doors shut
And you take cover behind the desk literally right in front of you
if you focus backpacks, you get 1 of 33 brands. if you focus brand, you get 1 of 6 pieces. therefore, math is better to focus brands if you want a particular brand backpack
most people i see use the desk. i use the wall that runs along the side of the hall on the right, works pretty well
I'm not sure what you're doing, but saying there is no cover in a room literally full of cover is weird...
If you sit behind that desk....nobody can hit you at all
except the bloody warhounds
The warhounds still can't hit you...and you shopuld focus them down first. They take seconds to kill
im done with this, im gonna matchmake for it even on hard difficulty otherwise i will end up rage quitting and getting rid of the game for good
You can hide behind the desk, or I prefer the hall on the left for a good shot at Kat
not knowing how to use cover in a shooter game should be a sin
i know how to use cover you moron
Are u doing it as a squad?

solo
I'm not trying to be rude. But perhaps you need help with your build. If you're struggling on hard dificulty
I'm being sarcastic 😆
Let me hop back on and I’ll help ya
Can anyone tell me the talent on the named Petrov Defense Group Backpack? I had someone recommend it for a build and can't find it.
If you need help for the tinkerer I can also help you if you are up for that 
The gift?
The talent is u get bonus armor when u r nearby enemies
@fathom maple gotcha, thanks for the info.
what?
The Gift comes with Perfect Vigilance, not that big of a difference between regular Vigi
Perfect bloodsucker
lol
im sorry, im taking about a half an hour break, im still pissed off with the last stage of the manhunt and i think i'll need to farm matador and maybe backfire
memento is not good during the manhunt
What build?
there will be an update? 😄
i was using my old build from PS4, striker with memento and chamelon
I would just striker bag then. Itll improve damage and doesnt need to build seperate stacks like memento. In this type of scenario you wont be able to gain enough memento stacks after you go down in end stage
and now i was thinking of farming for pestilence but i can't use that since i don't want that bug to occur
Yeah no doubt
yeah turns out that bug occurs because of the DoT damage causes overkill
Need a little help if someone can. I cannot get the "invaded" mission to show for week 12. What am I doing wrong? played this game forever and I feel like I am just missing something or have gone dumb.
Go onsite and toggle to invaded if they've already been completed
yeah the map bugs out if you try to toggle invaded missions
I don't have the option to toggle. On Heroic Difficulty and Golden bullet set.
Jtc, camp whiteoak, dua, and I forgot the other mission.
i think its just 3 missions and 2 strongholds
Are you at the mission
yeah
In mission settings hold g
No option
What mission
JTC
NVM, apparently you have to click through mission settings to bring up a "manhunt" mode
Yeah that one was buggy through the map. I was just onsite and got it to toggle a little bit ago
thank you for helping me. I knew I had to be missing something simple
Oh gotcha
On a different character
i know this might be a stupid idea but i might need to use the striker chest but mainly for countdown
At this point...I need to ask....can I see your build?
im not logged in, i needed a break
If you're using strikers and struggling on hard something is definitely wrong
im not struggling on hard difficulty, its just that manhunt is actually hard
It's probably the easiest one of the new 3 so far
I think so too
Isnt it scaled for 4 player regardless if solo or not
With strikers, you should be wiping through it
I went solo on Heroic, and then managed a Duo on Master.
just the last bit was annoying me so i needed a break and i may just matchmake for it but i need to swap out memento for strikers backpack and chamelon for backfire
I don't know, but even on heroic I had to actively stop attacking her so I didn't kill her too fast
once i get backfire
for solo master on full red, the easiest for me has been kelso, then this one (except the boss), then theo
but theo is like hard only in the first few stages, kelso is just easy overall, then manager is everywhere easy except boss cuz there's nothing but half cover everywhere. i had to change to sniper for the boss
yeah turns out if you kill her before she's supposed to smokescreen it crashes the game
theo is the one that constantly heals himself?
i made her damage herself with her own nade twice and surprisingly she didn't bug out
he's the one with healing armor plates but you can bypass the mechanic entirely
yeah but apparently pestilence is a bad idea to bring because if she dies to its DoT it can cause her to bug out
I did that my first run
yeah we stopped using OD and pesti etc. once we got that bug so many times
you're so lucky, wish i had one
Ikr
As if you needed a carry Enny 😄
anyone else have constant server disconnects today?
sir... i'm bad
Nope, games run for 10 hours solid so far
i had one this afternoon and 2 just back to back trying to do a bounty
*Average
well gonna farm countdown for a bit to target a few items
which manufacturer is matador under?
W&H
which you can't get in countdown btw, not directly
Think it's DZ exclusive
crap and it seems to be a dlc item
no, you can get it without any dlc
according to the google sheet its a dlc item
well now is a good time as any since no-one is in the dark zone
that was relevant when everyone was locked to level 30 without wony
was
You can just put adrenaline rush an a crit bag
now everyone can get to level 40 and therefore obtain it
because golden bullet event
It's a waste of time tbh unless WH is targeted
open named caches
Matador pops up pretty frequently in the cd vendor as well
not wasting the stars on named caches
welp i guess i will never get matador then
Anyone ever tell you that you are a real Debby Downer
only when i get fustrated, years of playing LoL has done that to me
You can buy named caches for countdown requisitions...
That and you can get the blueprint in descent
aren't countdown currency only gotten if you successfully extract from the raid?
no, but if you don't extract the amount you get is halved
i see but also people apparently don't like it if you call extraction as soon as you get there, i guess they wanna get more currency
not currency, but loot
the adds at the end drop a lot more loot if you let them spawn more
Depending on how early you get there and how good your team is calling in extraction early only gives you a minute to clear out 3 hunters and a bunch of ads
My god the vaulting system is irritating
Need to kill 2 hunters, easiest 2 to spawn?
Can vault up that big wall but nope...that tiny cardboard box is going to stun lock you... -.-
Jumpimg Jacks one?
Yo what what does the expertise system do? 😭💔
If you haven't already done them yeah
You can upgrade items up to your current expertise level with resources
takes all your resources and time for very meager returns
That ^
well got pestilence but dc'd because of connection issues
Can you not spawn them again? I thought they were all replayable
Is it really worth it though? I heard it doesn't matter for armor but guns it's ok at best
Not unless you're in someone else's instance who hasn't done it
Yes...once you've done everything else
Not really no, it's nice to have on weapons but still expensive
seriously tho, expertise can upgrade damage/armor/specific skill attribute but it really isnt huge.
And that's with halved costs from before resolve
in the old system, level 30 expertise would cost 255 exotic components 
well. fack. I need to kill 2 of them.
It's barely even worth optimising gear in most situations, let alone spending huge amounts on expertise.
backfire is an smg right?
yes
Quite often it's faster and less painful to just farm a new piece of gear lol
There's one at Coney Island manhunt would be easy to run thru twice on normal
Any chance anyone doesn't have all the masks, before I go run Coney twice?
whats considered the best base lmg in game?
Probably IWI NEGEV
but it has such low accuracy and stability
It's an LMG...it's not designed for ranged combat.
Anybody on PS5 want to run ????, just trying to hit 1000 idc what we do… Psn:Auradude2
its mainly for my ongoing directive build i need a good lmg for my hollow rounds
Anybody on PS5 want to run ????, just trying to hit 1000 idc what we do… Psn:Auradude2
Use Carnage
im using tinkerer so that wont work
2x IWI Sadist +Strained
i use sadist and killer
@thick yarrow I see your message in clan recruitments , send over a dm as can’t message you myself
same, i think privacy settings make it so i can't send a message to you because im not friends on discord with you despite being in the same server
I prefer strained since killer has a more RNG feel to it (40% chance to fail a proc can be irritating with bad RNG)
But it's your call
I can’t seem to send you a friend request
the chance is a bit higher than 60% to proc killer, it's a common misconception that killer proc chance is the same as crit chance
true its a 20% crit dmg diff so i prefer the higher one lol
I bow to your superior knowledge (I know the maths has been done), but also, it's even harder in group play to proc. Strained wins out for me in general.
But I'm not an expert by any means lol
yeah no i agree, i don't use killer myself for the same reasoning, but i'm being fair to it that its proc chance is actually a decent bit higher. if you're curious ikia has a video on it
i can explain it too but if a video does the job i'd just refer to him
idk who ikia is
Overall you'll deal more damage faster with strained
strained just requires you to empty your mag
But like I said, your call
killer is an on kill talent, and on kill talents naturally don't perform as well in group play unless it's very organized group play
i rarely do empty my mag hence why im not using it
Killer has a better feel with the current season due to higher crit chance when active.
But I hate RNG procs in general
You dont need to mag dump, it just procs with continued fire, even after reloading. As long as you're firing, it's ramping up damage.
I'm an advocate of play your way, so do as you will lol
Idk if anyone brought it up already but pressure point also is nice
I use Cold Relations even though most wouldnt recommend it due to slow RoF. I just find Perfect Strained to be alot of fun lol
PP is another good one for OD
Bizon lover spotted
Would there be any scenario when you'd want status effects over skill dmg on a double yellow grupo piece?
No
Not big on skill builds but I'd imagine Foam builds
Both is fine but no skill damage is a dead piece
so why would the negev be best in slot for base lmgs
It's listed on the spreadsheet as having the highest burst but I don't run it personally
M249 and MG5 are popular options
Would you used grupo for foam builds though? Second brand bonus is for explosive dmg
So trash the status ones and only keep skill dmg?
Only explosives
Burst Damage.
That's literally it.
Yeah, skill dmg/haste and dmg/status effects are the ones worth keeping
ok well those low stats arent screaming im a decent gun lol i need a good amount of stability for it to be useful for me
As I said, I advocate for play your way. So I'm not telling you what to do.
People enjoy using different things.
I'm just telling you that on facts alone, NEGEV is the top LMG for burst damage.
Recoil is pretty negligible on everything except rifles
As long as you don't have trouble keeping your hand steady, the NEGEV can reliably hit even outside its optimal range.
It's worth noting as well stats aren't everything
well im currently usuing a military m249
Stuff can look good or bad on paper and be the opposite in practicality
And if you're running an LMG you're not looking for sustained single target damage.
You're looking to spray into a spawn point and kill everything before it moves. That's your purpose
I am pretty sure that Carnage base weapon is the NEGEV and its practically a laser
It is
But Stoner is a super accurate/stable LMG as well, and easy to find
Stoner shoots peas tho 😔
I still reccomend NEGEV. But if it isnt good enough, gotta go with another option
Yeah probably better throwing potatoes at the enemies rather than shooting them with Stoner lol
I would honestly, give the NEGEV a go, and don't be NEGEVitive about it's stats before you try it dad smirk
wow i felt the pain from that
what would be good for the attribute at the bottom
CHC
im alrdy at 55.7 chc
no dta?
Don't quote me on this but you'll gain more from ROF than DTA.
ROF affects all enemies, all the time.
DTA only applies while they have armour and doesn't apply to robotics at all.
And for the majority of enemies destroying their weak spots is enough to take away most of their armour in the first place
so rof or chd
What's your CHD currently?
136% thats with the 10% from my current lmg
Yeah CHD then
Although CHC would allow you to take more CHC off your gear (LMGs have 9.5% CHC at max) So removing 2x 6% you'd still be above 50%
Today I stand proud I am visiting cousins in New York and had a day to myself to just wander the city and was able to wander around parts of Brooklynn and all of manhatten without a map see mom all that time playing video games didn’t go to waste
So the net gain from CHC on the LMG itself to me means higher damage over all
chc on lmgs max out at a weird 9.5% lol
Pretty sure it's 9.5%
Yeah weapons crit chance is 9.5% so much better than having it on a Gear piece
Takes up only 1 slot for 1.5x gear piece crit chance. Allowing more CHD
well i swapped it out and only gained like 1% chd bc i had 10% chd on the lmg
You should gain an extra 2 slots for CHD on your gear. Removing the CHC on the gun should give you an extra 14% CHD overall (at max)
i only had one chc mod left on my gear. everything else was chd
1% is 1% lol
Better than being kicked in the nuts
lol random
True though.
The allied people in this game really annoy me sometimes.
Just spent 4 minutes completely wiping out a CP like a freaking 1 man army......
Allied NPC "Thats what you get for messing with US!"
Screw you Janice, you were hiding in a bin.
If ANYTHING they make the process take longer
Especially when they get stuck around the corner, OR STAND IN MY GODDAM WAY
Choke is the worse one for me.
They always get into a conflict outside....refuse to enter the CP and just bug out sitting outside hiding behind cars.
I just leave and do something else. Then like 10 minutes later I get the completed message lol
Someone once told me Choke was one of the fastest control points to clear, and I was like hell naw
you just explained why lmao
Yeah no, the ALWAYS sit outside for me. I never do it for that reason alone.
New Venice is the fastest by far IMO. Can be done in under 3 minutes easily
All the reinforcements spawn within eye sight of one single place on the roof, and it spawns multiple Explody Enemies. Each reinforment wave is cleared within 3/4 rounds out the Elmos.
And the boss always spawns behind one of the explody enemies, and runs straight threough the flames. Sitting duck
Takes me like 4-5min to clear usually
that's crazy slow
If it wasn't for the enemies to engage other activities nearby I would definitely say it's one of the fastest since they come out from the sewers
I do navy plaza nowadays
I'm not using hotshot
The clear speed isn't the issue. Its that allied AI is dumb as hell and the game doesn't recognise that the area is clear for some reason
yeah I don't mind the build
shut 🤏🦆
I've had that happen to me quite a few times as well
My favourite run for farming CPs is Metro, Sinkhole, Solar Farm, Crashed Plane.
Once a day for massive resource pickups and it's 4 easy clears
did you say... SINKHOLE?
finally someone said it!
Every time I do the silly sinkhole either the allies or the enemies get stuck on the street above
Had a friend on Xbox who called those 4 plus the choke, the gauntlet xp farm
skill issue lololol
Normally one enemy tries to run out the gate and hide. But thats where I sit anyway lmao
Riot foam in your face. You're going nowhere son
Probably the fastest circuit. Although I normally skip Choke for the reason I gave above lol. Bugs out too much for me.
Listen here you
Just run from metro to crashed plane, reset CPs and go again. Mission fast travel directly above metro rinse repeat
I fast travel to capital building and go from right to left
For some reason if I go that way, I get enemies spawn directly behind me from near the Capitol building which forces me to use the plane wing as cover lol
I try to kill enough of them so I can spawn trap the fresh spawns and worry the rest when I shoot the flare
Question: For the Summer Stretch Goals event, do the drop rates only effect the ones from the rewards or all caches? In other words, if I save an exotic cache for nex week, will the cache include the items listed for that event?
No.
It's only for the summer caches
I believe, you get 6 of the cahces per 10 levels.
The stretch goals are unaffected by bonus season pass xp
Huh....
Ap[prently connecting to someone on the Australian server doesn't move you back to Europe when you leave the group lmao
Took me a while to figure out why I had 140+ ping lmao
Definitely not grazy slow, if we talking about the whole playerbase, the % who can actually complete them so fast is really really small tho.
I have a question about switching platforms. I have need to use Steam as my game launcher, but I bought the game through the Ubisoft Store (along with all the dlc, etc.). If I buy the game through steam, can I use my same account and have access to my characters and DLC etc.?
@stoic hare As long as you link the same account, yeah you can just buy the base game on Steam and it should work fine.
Think of ubi-connect as the "controlling version" of div2.
Oh yea, I'm familiar with the concept (used to work in gaming a few times). I just wanted to find out if they had cross platform before I spent money. Thanks for your help 🙂
Currently bugged and stuck in final boss faze of the manager…
Just wipe
will have probably to use a grenade or some other explosive skill to downyourself
Not really. Everyone is capable of completing CPs in minutes.
HH build is perfect for it in general. But even a basic Strikers doesn't take much longer than 3 minutes to do any of the CPs.
Capable or not, they just aren't running those in that speed. That goes to majority content, we see that in current master mission where people could just put full red striker or determined build and run the mission in like 20min easy but they aren't
People play differently and that's okay
gonna have another shot at the manhunt but gonna play it on normal
Im curious still to see what your build is. I honestly cant see how you're struggling with that climax boss.
Quite honestly, the hardest part of that entire mission is the bullet sponge RoboDog they slapped in for no reason.
If struggling, put a healer in imo. Gives good dmg buffs also for the team
My point is I'm not sure what there is to struggle with in the final room.
Everything spawns directly in front of you. Its basically a giant turkey shoot.
We have kill the manager final boss 3 times now and it keeps freezing after everytime.
Someone is probably using DOT....which you shouldn't be using at the moment
Yo why's my 11th page of the battlepass not showing up
Because the stretch goals aren't active yet?
Lol my bad I thought it said ends on the 19th why you say it like that like we all live on the game
It wasn't said like anything?
But you were so interested in the stretch goals that you didn't think to check in game (where it literally says that it starts on the 19th) or in the discord (where the announcements and tweets and patch notes ALL say it starts on the 19th?
Don't have to "live" on the game to read the information a available to you.
u could have said it like a normal person instead of like ????
You were IN the game....you could have just looked?
nah just answer a homie properly next time, dont gotta be all judgy dorky
@thin oasis If you don't want to answer a question, just don't answer it.
There is no call to be rude.
finally beat it and without the bug
nice
hi all, new to server and that but a decent player
i did use pestilence though, i had to shoot her before the pestilence killed her to not trigger the bug
and idk if i should do master yet
i can take you through master
dumb question, what is nemesis
two answers
Descent Boss and Exotic MMR
okay, another question, how do you start the descent i cant see it and im hoping im not dumb
its next to summit
there should be a green "d" logo on your map somewhere
ok thank you, legit i spent over 1 week trying to do it as black tusk....they hurt me
ok black tusk...they putting me in my spot hard lol
I know this isn’t the LFG channel, but I’m not having any luck there. Would anyone be nice enough to help me complete Space Administration HQ on Master difficulty? I’m trying to get the Provocator chest piece.
is it bad i rather use my pistol than my rifle at times
sadly we can't cross play.. so you definitely need to try the PS lfg channel just because us folks on PC can't see it and you will have people there you can pair up.. not sure how many PS folks actually look at general chat aside from a few.
im to scared to get that high anyway....
there is a bug in the game that tells you to talk to Wally and points you to White House but actually Wally is in Castle Settlement, it's a heavy set girl on the left side of the settlement as a vendor.. you can also go down the stairs next to her and you can see the talents for the descent for that week. You just have to talk to Wally, then go down the stairs to Descent door and listen to the conversation and that project will be done. You can launch Descent from there too.
okay so im stuck on luck atm lol
How does the manhunt bug affect people, do you have to die in order to leave ?
i feel dumb...forgot about stuff called projects lmao
welp looks like i've gotta turn the difficulty down to normal to beat battle for brooklyn
i may soon buy them dlc soon
If you do, do battle for brooklyn on normal or hard, challenging difficulty feels like legendary difficulty
yeah atm im just trying to get guns and armour that work best for me, instead of what does most damage etc
I'm unable to unlock District Union Arena legendary, locked by Camp White Oak The Recruiter, even though I completed The Recruiter on Normal difficulty earlier today. Does it have to be on Heroic in order to unlock the weekly legendary mission?
Nope black tusk invasion mission you need to do
is it bad i have troubles beating their robots
what do you mean die in order to leave?
is it just me or enemy damage between challenging vs heroic is insane
the damage is the same actually.. and they hit the same, they just have more armor and more elites.
for the climax mission?
Basically blow yourself up to reset the area if the final boss bugs out
not really sure.. I played once on challenging but I've been mostly running with folks on master.. never actually done heroic on it.. but shouldn't really feel different than challenging, there will just be more armor/enemies as elites
Also avoid using DoT damage during the final boss of the manhunt that can bug the boss out
probably shouldn't have 4 directives on lol
right.. i've had the bug happen to me helping some do master for tinkerer earlier this evening.. we had to wipe 4 times on the boss because even the small CC on her during the damage phase will bug her.
well yeah.. that will do it
and golden bullet lol
can someone help me keep the refinery in Brooklyn from blowing up please?
H5 refinery in brooklyn is meant to blow up 🙂
So if your playing hcore for example you lose you character if it bugs 🤯
so turning the 4 valves does nothing?
Do emperor's guard drop in legacy caches?
it will drop from named caches
my system is extremely laggy I could use some help
well you don't lose the character if you don't wipe thus killing your character.. you would have to start over I guess.. i haven't done it yet on my HC but yeah.. don't "wipe" on HC.
so no help, got it
it's not that "no help".. you should post it in the appropriate channel bud.. I am not in the game and probably very few people are in the general chat channel.. post it up here for help for game https://discord.com/channels/477210626742288384/556242679122624523
It was more of a question if it bugs if there anyway to get out without dying ?
But thank you.
i love when you get rid of a gun only to open it next time
what do you guys recommend for golden bullet star / level farming ?
ah easy
can also reset and do the same one back to back. sleeping giant is really good for that
love panicking and then joining a friend
my fav is choke, for the lazy since the settlement is literally next to it 😉
if you want more info on xp farming check out my pin in #ask-td2-community on that topic
You can reset the mission or simply fast travel away
You need to toggle mission mode on the White Oak mission a few times until it reaches invaded mode (red mission icon) then complete that.
ok i gotta bring my brain and not my brawn, hunting people and a few elites said hi'
Is the manhunt super buggy?
i always laugh when i can mod a lmg to be suppressed
Camp white oak will be one of the invaded missions, you will need toi do it on the invaded setting, not the manhunt target.
ok good news, im more confident hunting the black tusks....though their tech is hard
how many exotics are brooklyn exclusive
Tried twice to finish and it wouldn’t work. Prolly gonna run all the legacy manhunts then do manager
on master?
No this is the first manhunt I’ve ever done, so I was gonna do it on normal to learn spawns and mechanics then run heroic then master and it’s just not working period
oh that’s odd, i haven’t ran into the bug with the boss everytime I do it, maybe im lucky
I heard status effects may bug it out sometimes
The devs did say to focus on dishing out raw dmg
What is the crit chance cap?
60%
For PVE content, you want between 50% and 55%
I’ve been using pestilence, and the first time I killed her It was stuck saying to clear the area even though no one was there, the second time it said to nuetralize her even though I killed her alr
Pestilence deals DOT. Don't use DOT until they fix it
Its DOT thats bugging her out
Only other decent damage build I have is striker with Elmo
Dot meaning damage over time
That's fine
I knew that
Elmos works fine because the shock doesn't deal any damage
Negotiators works well in that boss fight, you can tag her and then focus down the adds that don't keep hiding
so umm how do you get more stuff for vendors i feel dumb
Which vendors? The standard ones or the activity ones?
activity one i think
They reset weekly on the server reset
i need to double check
Its at the same time that the weekly projects reset
can anybody tell me current descent loot pool?
the journey
What's the specific wording of the journey task you mean? Just selling stuff to vendors?
wait idk i swear it was talking about the vendor
i'm going insane in the game i guess lol
im trying to do the crossroads as fast as i can
i dont see any burn build in google docs, is it less popular?
anyone get good burn build for pev?
....awkward moment you run out of lmg ammo
okay i hate the outcast bombers
Why? Literally free kills on tons of enemies lol
well not when your reloading in a enclosed space
Switch weapon...
Doesn't need to be...two pops to the bright light on their chest and they're down...or use your pistol
true
Switch weapon > Reload during combat if necessary
Look for Eclipse protocol or status effects in the yellow section of the build list
remind to self...never tease the big guys with sledgehammers....they are decently fast
Chem foam says wut
listen i stick to my normal pulse and seekers
just roll, they aint that fast
i have a question... im waiting to get my lex next week, and i want to know if will work with tinkerer or nah? i asking this because since lex is buffed on dmg and do not have perfect talent.
My stash is suddenly empty 😢
@vital aspen Re-log or fast travel to a different open world map.
Better to ask in #td1-general
I have but that chat seens dead compared to this one
so i thought id just ask in here
Is it normal that I can’t put expertise on Harmony AR?
@small glacier Sorry, gotta stick to the right place.
@vital aspen An item needs to be Proficient in order to put Expertise on it, which means either use it until it is, donate copies, or donate resources.
It is, I have everything proficient (lv 5300)
Nevermind! It’s not a AR, it’s a Rifle. Sorry and thanks
Hope for a Lex, don't expect a Lex. It's about a 3% Chance lol
whats the best thing to farm right now? Countdown or summit?
What are you farming?
Looking for better Armor in general. I am already set of my firearms.
countdown gives way more stuff way faster. summit isn't as good anymore, though it's the only option for custom targeted legendary-quality loot
@civic night Don't focus on pieces with specific cores, try working out what you need for the build in total.
The spreadsheet is a great resource for builds that will eventually help you out in Heroic difficulty.
@civic night - Countdown and focus on filling up your Talent Pool - That way you can inject cores that you may need to your pieces, if their core attribs are 1 off for example, you have a piece that has 15% WD, 8.3 CHD, and 2.3 Skill haste. You want ALL red cores well you can extract the Skill attrib and replace it with a red core from your talent pool.
You can only xtract/inject one attribute per piece - this ALL has cost involved too
I want to optimize my tinkerer but I hate spending so much mats lol
this is the struggle
Golden Bullet is the way for this
get those stars and trade them for the top 3 items at the event store
repeat repeat repeat
I think the mats are pretty well tuned in this game. You really have to pick and choose what you want to max out. Then again, once you find some good optimization blueprints, all that goes out the window
Loving the Tinkerer mask but, man it has me obsessed with DPS now ... trying to fine tune the absolute best DPS possible lol
So far found that a UCS Mil. MK17 (primary, Boomerang ) with UIC 512 ( Second, streamline talent ) is my best in Rifle.... problem is Rate of Fire sucks but, getting 1.7 to 1.9m every 3 - 4 headshot
Going to see if Striker 3pc may help right now. ANybody have a dope AR Tinker Build?
Should try tinkerer, striker, and gloves that add 15% magazine size with gr9 with frenzy, 2nd lmg killer or measured or strained. Shiz serious
Yeah, I am running Luznik Gloves and Bizon (Zwiadowkza brand )
That's highest kdps I found so far minus rifle and MMR one shot builds
Yea 200 rounds, with gunner 250, with gloves 287
I like my shield though
Yea I did too but when frenzy kicks in with that mag size, it's melt time. Crazy
hrmmm will have to try
Should try Heartbreaker pieces with LMG
unless striker does better
you're not gonna believe this...
Ngl the new gear set for next season looks op
@zenith rose You're looking for #lfg-playstation, but make sure you stick to English in any channel that doesn't have "LFG" in the name.
GL Agent 
oooo okey sorry
what are the best talents to use with tinkeres mask
Depends on your build
strikers
There some good combos ask in build chat i don’t use tinkerer with striker
i also use it on lmg
does frenzy have a cap?
Is the heartbreak set valid?
I'm new so I'm not a pro at crazy builds but isn't this set better than striker since you're getting bonus armor and weapon damage just by holding down the trigger?
no striker is just better with chestplate and bp
chestplate is no good for anything other than legendary, you wont maintain 100+ stacks
im using frenzy/strained with mine, but people use all kinds of combos
It's good for other stuff too, such as raids.
Yup, valid if your target is survivability and dmg
ok sure, its no good for anything other than the most difficult pve content
No.
It's worse than Strikers because DPS is king in this game.
The bonus armour from Heartbreakers is neglibile at best and difficult to stack in harder content due to how much damage you'll take
that bonus armor goes poof in any hard content
im not saying chestplate is better than using another talent tho im saying heartbreaker is worse because of strikers talents
Even if you were by some miracle able to stack to max bonus Armour with heartbreakers. A single hit from any enemy on Heroic is enough to take it all away
but the dmg is awful
they're actually quite comparable if you compare striker obliterate with heartbreaker vigilance and HB chest. it's just down to being locked into technician, having less rof (which means less stacking speed, the pulse laser being finicky and just less damage overall) that make it not very desirable
HB damage isn't bad, it's just a waste of stacking for bonus armour that doesn't matter.
If you m,anage to stack it, it can compare damage wise to a Striker build. Just takes FAR too long to stack.
It's basically a noob trap
what does you use with tink?
OD is the best for tinkerer
Sadist+ Pressure point is a monster
interesting, why is sadist so often recommended?
Or Sadist + Strained, or lots of other combos that can work
So far only using it with OD build
anyone know what day the new season drops? i wanna get the shroud asap
OD gives Hollow point ammo to all allies, hollow point causes bleed, sadist boosts damage to bleeding enemies by 30%
And pair with wicked or unstoppable force for more damage
ah, yes, didnt put those pieces together
@torpid ore Not for a while yet, we haven't even started the Stretch Goals event yet.
Pressure point increases damage to enemies you apply status effects to by another 16% I believe, and Wicked talent boosts damage to targets under status effects by a further 18%
The damage is insane, and ramps up very fast.
mmmm damage 😋
If I remember correctly I was doing a million every time
But I’m pretty sure that it was over 900k
Not to mention OD boosts everyone elses damage too
I've really gotta try this Manhunt, this mask sounds fun.
So far, OD is the absolute best build for it. It makes it monsterous.
Add in a friendly using Coyotes and you're hitting 1.4m with LMGs it's nuts
I've been a fairly recent convert to the church of OD, been using the classic Carnage+foam combo so far.
I like FOam, although alot use Banshee. I just find the Foam spawn trap bleed and insta gib of enemies too fun
I don't like being tied down to Gunners, but Banshee has its moments.
Makes other team mates angry because most of the time enemies can't even leave their spawn.
A build is great when you can even stop Strikers from hogging the damage lol
does frenzy have a cap?
I think it's more of a stetson fan.
From what I can Find, no it doesn't
I am way too proud of that one.
It used to cap at 35%
Dad smirk
It's funny, I've never had a team complain about bringing an OD setup along, everyone loves their bleed bullets.
who would complain about free damage
My team mates are normally in a discord call with me and they're normally annoyed because they can't even use their bullets before everything is dead 🤣
Sorry for the ping, meant to turn it off
its all good, its mainly an issue when im not active and a spammer gets through the filter.
just lets me get to it faster that way.
I play with my 60 year old father, he complains because enemies spawn out the floor (it's clearly a manhole cover, and we've run this mission before) 🤣
Sometimes the manhole does fail to move, so the enemies phase through the floor.
or worse: they get trapped in there and can't complete the tunnel CP.
gotta love our old mans
Had that before, swithced to Oxi and it worked
Usually, but sometimes they're trapped too far down for even that.
Love him dearly, been gaming with him for 25 years lol
It's mostly when enemies spawn at that green park area.
My assumption is that they're trying to path through the ground to them, but there's no way up.
Yeah i've noticed that more frequently recently. The enemies in the Ivy tunnel spawn fine but the ones on the park even when they get out the ground tend to hide at the top and I have to chase them
Seems like someone completely borked their pathing
I've seen it happen since at least 2021, so I don't want to call it recent.
ah well, easy fix. Just leave and return, usually fixes it.
I've not been playing that long, but it seemed to work ok for me for a while and since I started grinding on Heroic etc it seems worse.
Mortemas either fell asleep typing...or this is going to be a hell of an essay 😛
Sometimes people use a "keep me awake" thingy, where it just looks like they're typing forever.
that or they're trying to remember how many M's are in accommmmmmmodation.
Time to go walk the dog, nice chat 
Ah I see. I was doing heroic bounties and it was the only reason why I stayed alive so I thought it was a good gear set. I guess in higher levels of gameplay it falls off
It's not a terrible gearset by any means, but the bonus armour is negligible and difficult to stack.
Damage wise, it can compare with strikers, but just takes too long to stack and most enemies are dead before you even reach potential
it's a huge gap in difficulty between heroic and master and legendary. it's where the set's downsides come to light
bounties also don't spawn that many enemies so you don't feel as overwhelmed
^ In Legendary, even at full stacks most enemies will completely strip even the tankiest of builds in 2 hits.
Pretty much yeah, it just run a pfe build and target reds and purples first
good observation! i agree - it may be related. btw, why does literally no one talk about clan caches and weapons received from them not counting against your inventory total? your message was the only hit on my search of this topic. this bug might also happen with granted items, but i can't be sure. i suspect it happens with my two lexingtons, but i don't remember exactly how i got them. is it really the same for gear? (i hadn't noticed that it happens with mask, chest, etc.) i'd like them to fix this "0 space" issue regardless of whether it is related to the 0/450 empty stash bug. it's a bit annoying when my inventory says i sometimes have 140/150 or 141/150 depending on which loadout i have changed to.
Stash bug is very annoying
lol, didn't realize at first this was referring to just a few minutes ago. thought i really did fall asleep while gaming last night - it actually happens 🤣
What’s the max amount of red stars for the golden bullet event that you can have?
999 or 9999?
I wanna see someone getting 9999 tho
Never know with these week long xp events.
anyone know how to get the overlord shotgun
Anywhere, Countdown with Shotguns targetted loot
Both of you in the wrong chat for that
Most of those are either PC or Xbox
If you scroll up there's a few psn clans
Discord has a search function
The first 2 messages are psn actually
Hello , anyone here who can answer some of my gameplay questions , I’m level 31 returning back , don’t know what I’m doing
You just gotta do what the rest of us are doing. Our Best.
Getting to level 40
Do you have your shd watch? If not then just continue grinding towards lvl40 so you can unlock your watch
Like others have said, work toward hitting LVL 40.
If there are any missions on your map that are not greyed out, I'd start by playing that one/those.
You'll likely start to remember how to do the things in game by actually playing it.
I've been there... another thing you could do is just start roaming around the map and doing simple stuff like control points and other random activities in the city just to re-acclimate yourself to how things work.
Question can we have 4 weapons at ones or 3
Primary, Secondary, Sidearm, Speciality
Is that a troll Q?
Minigun, Grenade Launcher, .50 Cal Sniper, Flamethrower, Crossbow
?
Thanks
Yeah, it's the weapons from the vendor at main HQ to the left when you walk in
Cornball
Shoot stuff don't die, that's my motto
I don’t , don’t know how to get it
Thanks
Just hit lvl40 and the game will give it to you
Thanks will do that
How exactly should we prepare for the Lexington arrival?
Take a day of work and grind😉
Also how to get the tinkerer
Manhunt
Grind what exactly which mode
On master
Oh that’s it? What rank?
