[hot ruin]

Yeah, there are brand sets and gear sets. They both enhance different things with more pieces equipped. The spreadsheet has info on all that stuff

[hollow star]

Pretty good

[fierce kraken]

When will they fix fragile armor? If not, disable it indefinately!

[full zinc]

i think tab lets you ads the acog (4x)

[small spear]

already been replied to

[full zinc]

👆

acog allows for full ads, not just a slight zoom

[fathom harbor]

why cant we have vehicle

[full zinc]

fast travel exists. vehicles are just extra coding for nothing

[hollow hill]

This is Division, not Assassin's Creed or Farcry

[hybrid ore]

AC has cars now?

Leonardo's been busy.

@meager marsh You can only trade gear when it was obtained within the same group, within a certain amount of time.

Asking in a separate channel won't change how this game works.
if you want to find people to play with, check out #lfg-xbox

[meager marsh]

thanks rivens,just fatigue trying to get it rng not my angel this time

[hybrid ore]

IIRC it's locked to the loot goblin at this time, until they bring back the shepard event it was part of.

there'll be another one next season, but don't worry too much, it's a powerfully average AR.
Make sure you get to 150 on the Season Pass before the 9th, that gets you a free Lexington AR.

[fathom harbor]

god, i hate the fact u cannot pick up SHD tech cache until area unlock or something
so stupid

[hybrid ore]

Finish the levelling process first, this is a slower-paced game, you aren't meant to speed through it.

[heavy dirge]

anyone hear of the obligatory pre-patch maintenance that i fully expect we should be getting tonight but as usual has not been announced? i wouldn't mind not wasting a trip down to my PC unless i can actually play...

[hybrid ore]

They don't do downtime every week, just when an update is due.

since the season ends next week, the patches might be more frequent.

[heavy dirge]

they usually do a maintenance the week before a new season to prepare for the rollout. but after last weeks surprise buttsecks...er...maintenance, i don't take an actual announcement for granted anymore.

[hybrid ore]

You can talk about game downtime with out being vulgar.

[heavy dirge]

triggered!

[hybrid ore]

Well that was fast.

[full zinc]

triggered about season end? tone it down

welp, that was fast

[quaint prairie]

bruh 😭

[fathom harbor]

do i get achievement from slaughtering animals

[quaint prairie]

yes

and a arm patch

[fathom harbor]

wats the name ?

imagine we can raise the level of item

[hybrid ore]

You get kicked from my group.

I can safely say tht I've not shot a single dog or deer in div2.

[true summit]

i just tried to do daily project of resuplying a friendly control pint in southwest and it didn't count any supplies i gave them anyone else having that issue?

i also did the jeferson plaza on hard and the project didn't count that either

trying it one more time before i say o well lol

[fathom harbor]

how do i defeat nemsis for weekly ?

[hybrid ore]

It's part of the Descent game-mode, which is a rogue-lite.
tl;dr you go through Descent, picking rooms until your Nemesis encounter is triggered.

It's a copy of your agent and gear, and it's quite a hard fight.

[fathom harbor]

dam, then i guess no

holy, there's no lv cap in this game? there's someone 44k lv

[red rapids]

quick question in the division 2 how paywalled are the good/cool cosmetics.

[fathom harbor]

very

[true summit]

i'd do a subscription if they had an opton for one do they?

[quaint prairie]

yes

[red rapids]

down right embarrasing if yall arent lying

im still finishing up the division 1 but i bought 2 due to the sale aswell so im hoping you're just messing with me or missing some good ones

[undone timber]

There's a lot of good fashion for textiles

It's just most of the nostalgia bait and collabs and such are paid

[red rapids]

gotta elaborate i only played the division 1 i havent done anything past the basic tutorial part for 2

ah

[undone timber]

They used to do apparel events but they've not done one in a while now

[red rapids]

still findable like #1?

[undone timber]

You can find basic stuff in the open world loot and such

All the more elaborate stuff is in the apparel store

[red rapids]

not even special outfits you can earn?

or just apparel? in general not just outfits?

[undone timber]

Nah you can but there aren't many

[undone timber]

There are outfits but the more recent ones are just one piece whereas a lot of the older ones have individual pieces you can swap on and off

[red rapids]

man i love cosmetics

[stiff pilot]

Best build to clear control points on heroic no one shot builds with regulus please I don't have it

[red rapids]

guess ill just play 2 and see if its ok

[undone timber]

You can do one shot builds without regulus

[stiff pilot]

Yea I know but wanted to make sure if anyone shows me a build its not regulus lols

[undone timber]

You can sub it for a harvest/magnum

Or use the 1886 or an MMR

[red rapids]

i swear 1 wasnt this complex

i swear builds were simple is division 2 complex?

[stable nest]

hey guys, me and my buddy are playing and im level 40 and hes level 15 but im on his game. Is there a way to see my own base of operations instead of his? kinda like div 1?

[undone timber]

Not really

More complex than just taking a 6 piece set and being done but not mind bogglingly complicated

[undone timber]

Get him into your session instead of the opposite

[red rapids]

ah alr im just guessing destiny level

[fathom harbor]

how do i do resource convoy for bp ?

[quaint prairie]

hopefully we get a new bundle tomorrow

[solemn acorn]

finally got to level 40 and finished warlords

now should i just start farming countdown like a madman to get some gear or is there some stuff i should do before hand?

[thick yarrow]

well managed to get the tinkerer helmet 🙂

[hybrid ore]

Resource Convoys don't drop blueprints.

[thick yarrow]

the final part of the manhunt is more annoying for me since i can't shoot the final boss using pestilence so i had to swap to lud, to make sure not to trigger the bug

[fathom harbor]

i mean battlepass

[runic wedge]

Yo is there a bug going around saying your stash is empty?

[thick yarrow]

happens sometimes, just go to NY or Brooklyn and return to DC that will fix it

[runic wedge]

Ah good to know

[vocal halo]

y7s2 release is sep 9th right?

[solemn acorn]

yep 1 week away

also i understand the glaze towards countdown

so much loot at once like damn

[acoustic crow]

i'm trying to level my expertise in the end game, newly level 40, and the bottom half of weapons and armor from each category seem to almost never drop even in heroic countdown lobbies...help@@

[still sonnet]

youre better off grinding SHD levels and donating printer filament towards the items youre having a hard time finding

best times to do it would be during the seasonal xp events, 1000 levels easy

[earnest nacelle]

Shameless ask…Any tinker carry out there? Solo build guy just trying to check the box.

[still sonnet]

youre trying to get your first tinkerer?

[earnest nacelle]

Yeah. Haven’t even tried to solo for it.

[hybrid ore]

@still sonnet @earnest nacelle Sorry folks, gotta stick to your LFG platform.

[earnest nacelle]

Sorry rivens.

[hybrid ore]

just a heads up though: there's no crossplay or crossave in div2 between different platforms.

[still sonnet]

some people assign themselves as pc even though theyre on console

[hybrid ore]

If you take multiple roles, the last one overrides the rest.
especially PC

[earnest nacelle]

Wish there was. My buddy on console probably would have carried me by now.

I’m PC unfortunately.

I’ll send it to LFG tho. Thank you Riv.

[acoustic crow]

@gato what's the best way to grind shd levels?

[still sonnet]

control points, MLK Memorial Library or Navy Plaza, with 3-4 directives on. on heroic

[acoustic crow]

thank you

[still sonnet]

yw

[lusty pumice]

Good Morning to all of you!

Is there a server maintenance today??

[alpine lantern]

I hope they will do something because the lag is terrible, I tried to get to the capitol building on heroic twice and each time I got disconnected halfway through the mission..

[lusty pumice]

Press esc and then look at the social "window" there should be icon that looks like signal or something like that! Is it blue? if it is yellow or red then you maybe need to find new server!

[hybrid ore]

@acoustic crow We occasionally have SHD XP bonus weekends, 3x or 5x. I'd suggest wating for one of those.

[feral mural]

I doubt it, but anything's possible

[vital cave]

Don’t focus on that rn play for fun make builds enjoy the game and you lvl up good time without noticing

[twilit rivet]

how much longer is the climax mission available

[still sonnet]

its available at any time, just like the other 2

[vital cave]

Well you can access it from the manhunt legacy even after the season ends

And you can do it rn

Without manhun legacy

[twilit rivet]

ive just come back and need the mask it drops so wanted to know how it works, appreciate it

[twilit rivet]

how?

[still sonnet]

yea you can do it even after the season ends

[vital cave]

Do scout 12 and 8 I think it’s those too then the manhunt mission unlocks

[lusty pumice]

Jepp its 8 and 12

[twilit rivet]

yeah, it says 12 requires 8 so ill get those done tomorrow, thanks

[vital cave]

Np also you can get tinkerer mask on heroic too but gotta farm it ofc or do master difficulty for a guaranteed drop on completion

[lusty pumice]

Its guaranteed drop only first time.

[vital cave]

For masters yes

[lusty pumice]

Yes

[twilit rivet]

is countdown the best way to get exotics, need ninja messenger bag for another build

[still sonnet]

priority objectives can be quicker if you target exotics in your rolls

[twilit rivet]

does this mean it will be an exotic chestpiece or is it a placeholder logo

[still sonnet]

placeholder

[twilit rivet]

oh, i cant attach image

ok thanks

[pliant sentinel]

love how i can hit 800k dmg now

i wish i can add turmoil to this build tho...

[lusty pumice]

I have one build 4 x Striker, Turmoil, Tinkerer, 2 x SMG(Talents Killer and Sadist). Then i have Minigun Signature. Skills: Reviver hive and Fixer Drone.

[pliant sentinel]

im using improvised gear

[lusty pumice]

My favo build is ( 4 striker, Turmoil, Coyote´s, Pestilence. Gunner and skills the same as in the other one) Slaps hard!

[pliant sentinel]

turmoil is so good

[lusty pumice]

yeah it is! Try it with Pestilence! You might fall in love with it! HAHAHA

[pliant sentinel]

i already tried, been farming stretch goals w it

but kinda getting overused with it, so im experimenting with tinkerer

[lusty pumice]

Oh yes Tinkerer and Turmoil! Me love it!!!

[gilded oar]

any german chat here in discord?

[jolly lintel]

Is it maintenance today

[vital cave]

No

I don’t think so

[shrewd oak]

Is this game constantly disconnecting me or is my internet poo

[thin oasis]

No

[thin oasis]

I would expect the next maintenance to be next week when the season ends

[pliant sentinel]

any new outfits this week

[hollow hill]

Not sure how you're maintaining 200 stacks considering the room will be fully dead before you even come close to 200

Even with turmoil...

[azure lintel]

No point In using sadist 🥸

I’d do streamline or optimist/strained

[thin oasis]

Streamline is a poor choice.

They're using fixer drone and revive hive it'll have almost no uptime

Strained is also a poor choice for SmGs as there is next to no full up time.

[azure lintel]

Yeah, fixer drones kinda useless. Just use gunner for 10% AoK. Shield and revive hive would work better

[azure lintel]

Agreed

[thin oasis]

I mean, this is a poor build in general.

As has been stated, using Striker chest is a huge waste outside of raids. You're never hitting the full stacks or even close to it.

Tinkerer is just a downgrade from Coyotes.

And Turmoil means you're splitting your DPS needlessly. Making sure enemies survive for longer to slam more rounds into your already squishy build. And theres no way a fixer drone is keeping a striker build alive

[heavy ginkgo]

QQ, we're going to get the lexington + turmoil after 150 right, but how about my HC agent will they receive a separate set themselves?

[spare cove]

You only get one piece of those two items, so get ready to stash, buddy

[wise basalt]

am i supposed to be getting smart cover mod drops if I don't have brooklyn dlc? Is smart cover even good? haven't seen anyone using it

[tropic sentinel]

Yes it's possible. Pro tip, don't favourite these mods, or else you will brick your inventory space without ability to delete them, unless you buy dlc.

[long breach]

Anyone trying out Destiny Rising?

[simple ridge]

This sounds like an #off-topic-discussions question

[pseudo jolt]

Man I could never get my pts to work

It would give me Alfa-03 even if servers were online

[feral raven]

What’s happening with the bug with the items missing from your stash and that and are we going to get more wasp time or not ?????

[blazing citrus]

empty stash: ongoing issue, travel to brooklyn or nyc and back or relog.

wasp time: ??? you mean stretch goals? if so then no. its filler until next season which is when the stretch goals ends

[feral raven]

Oki oki thank u so much for this

[blazing citrus]

🙏

[nocturne jackal]

if I have know how for defence lets say at 150/170 and I put that in a chest plate, does it upgrade itself if I gain more know how or am I cooked if I want to bring that core attribute to max 170?

[lament trout]

Do i get season pass ep in the dz ?

[tender wave]

I'm guessing you're talking about recalibration - once you recalibrate a particular stat slot, you can recalibrate it again as many times as you like. So if you extract a higher roll into your library you can simply use recalibration again to upgrade your item.
It doesn't happen automatically though.

[lusty pumice]

So i have a problem! Need to unlock Roosevelt Island to do that i need to run The Manager! I did The Manager and, still it says that i have to do The Manager! Why??

[valid sable]

in front of the mission (where you change difficulty, directives), there is an option to change it from Manhunt mission to regular mission

its Y button on xbox controller lol

[lusty pumice]

Okay so thats the problem! 😉

Weird it says "Requirements: Potomac Event Center; The Manager" So i assumed it is the manager i need to run! HAHAHAHA

[valid sable]

i think it's because you have not changed it to a regular mission yet? try it and check it again

[lusty pumice]

"SIGH" Why oh WHY they have to do it so
complicated?? HAHAHAHAHA

[lusty pumice]

Btw thx for the help

[valid sable]

so did it worked?

[lusty pumice]

Oh yes that was the problem! 😉

[muted rapids]

don't i have to do the invaded mission?

[solemn acorn]

why is there a black tusk thing where the helo should be in the whitehouse?

[bitter sand]

Hello all. I cannot acces PTS, I played it 2 days ago. But now it is greyed out in my ubisoft connect library. Any woek arounds?

[solemn acorn]

pts was closed i think yesterday

[hollow hill]

PTS closed yesterday. New season drops I think either the 8th or the 12th

[lusty pumice]

Next season drops 9;th this month!

[vital cave]

Next week my friend

[lusty pumice]

Yeah next week tuesday is 9:th!!

[vital cave]

Yep

[hybrid ore]

Part of the Reign of Fire Manhunt.

[solemn acorn]

gotcha, game wants me to talk to the girl right beside the heli but i cant get to her because of it

[hybrid ore]

I don't think there's any children there.

Do you mean Casey Bell?

[solemn acorn]

yeah her

[hybrid ore]

Casey is not anywhere near the Razorback, she's to the left of the front door.

[solemn acorn]

am i blind then?

[hybrid ore]

Fast Travel to the white house, immediately go left, she's on your right.

[vital cave]

Hey rivens if you don’t mind me asking for how long the recruiter outfit is staying in shop again?

[hybrid ore]

September 16th.

[vital cave]

Nice thanks my friend

[hybrid ore]

usually when something is very popular, it sticks around for a while.

[vital cave]

Ngl I wished some of the rouge bundles came back

[hybrid ore]

@solemn acorn the righthand side of the picture is the white house front door, the red circle is where Casey Bell is.

[solemn acorn]

found it

i dont even have bfb and the game still wanted me to talk to casey

[devout cove]

h need help, download from epic store but it takes login ubi connect so long? anyone know why?

[blazing citrus]

0/2. the 12th is for the free stuff

i think on the 8th we're getting another stream

idr what its about but we're getting one

[kind veldt]

Probably to talk over the plot and details of the season

[blazing citrus]

i have a feeling its for more info about mutiny but im not 100%

[spare cove]

Did they even mention there'll be a livestream on September 8th?

[blazing citrus]

ye

This was my yapping during the stream

[frank cloak]

if i have someone in my group and open an exotic cache from the countdown vendor is it possible to trade the item?

[solemn acorn]

how long is the day night cycle in this game?

[fathom maple]

Nope

[frank cloak]

to bad wanted to help a new agent

[alpine lantern]

one time when I was helping new players to pass tidal basin on heroic, at the end I opened the summer cache box and it dropped me an oxpecker with share option on.. I gave it to the player who was level 24 🙂

[tender wave]

If you claim (not buy) a cache while in the same group as someone, you can share the contents with them

[fathom haven]

Is the invaded mission for Roosevelt broken. I did all other invaded and Potomac Event center, and Its still locked

It still reads "Potamac Event Center" Requirement locked after I finished Potomac Event Center.

I switched Potomac to normal first too.

[alpine lantern]

a full day-night cycle takes roughly 24 minutes of real time, with night hours significantly shorter than daytime hours..

[solemn acorn]

aight bet

im just waitin for the in game clock to hit 21:00 to get this damn hunter to spawn

[hollow hill]

It's sometime next week that's all I can say. Most likely next week tuesday

[blazing citrus]

Why would you punish them like that?

[tender wave]

You need to complete Potomac on invaded, not normal or manhunt modes

[blazing citrus]

#lfg-pc

[wanton otter]

question, can you still get the VFX stuff for the hive? does anyone know?

[wanton otter]

dang, can't buy it at all?

i recently saw on in countdown and its sick!

yea, seems I missed it by a couple weeks.. I got back into the game end of july lol

[compact frost]

is the first division still worth playing?

[tender wave]

if you find it fun, yes absolutely. There's a small but dedicated long-term playerbase, new players joining (generally whenever it goes on sale) and they still have regular global events to keep things varied

[compact frost]

ahh ok

good to know

[tender wave]

if you have more specific questions, #td1-general is the place to ask

[compact frost]

gotcha ty

[hot ruin]

is brooklyn dlc done after army terminal? im confused

[kind veldt]

Yes

[fathom maple]

Yes, but u can farm the exotic mask

[coral charm]

is there a vendor with streamline perhaps somewhere?

[feral mural]

Just craft weapons until you get streamline on the weapon you want

say you want to put streamline on an AR, spam craft AR's until you get one with streamline, then break it to add it to your talent library

[coral charm]

true

[hot ruin]

but like... nothing happens. it ends with someone wanting the printer and thats it?

[hot ruin]

what mask

[fathom maple]

Catalyst, only obtainable vía Army Terminal

Is a drop from the final boss, not from the end of the mission

[hot ruin]

i see

[tender wave]

@carmine fjord #lfg-pc is the place to ask, you'll get more luck if you specify what you need help with too

[echo bone]

Best way to farm alot of steel?

[coral charm]

Shd lvld

Have they fixed tinkerer encounter boss disappearing?

[echo bone]

Other than that still usually it for printer filament

[coral charm]

Countdown, with targeted loot which when salvaged gives steel

(idk which class of loot is it)

[echo bone]

Thats really what my question should have been then because I'm running CD but not sure what gives best steel

[coral charm]

I think its weapons but im not sure

But im of the opinion that, u should focus on getting levels, then exchanging for material

Instead of trying to get material, and no levels

[echo bone]

Focused levels for so long I'm bored at 2795

[coral charm]

U need like 10 lvls

To exchange like 2500 steel or what was it

[echo bone]

I'm only expertise 28 53/90 so using my levels for printer filament unfortunately

[coral charm]

someone is trying to invite me but it says im not elgible or something on their end. wth is problem?

[shrewd cosmos]

Are there any good spots for components like the food and water spots in West potomac?

[dry gate]

usually this means that you don't have access to an activity they are in.. for example Year 1 Pass allows access to Classified Missions (which they might be in, thus won't let you join if you don't have it) or for example a DLC you might not have NY/Brooklyn i.e. If you have them all maybe logging in/logging out might resolve it. But from my experience the above is usually the case.

[oblique lance]

Hay what is a the best way to get tactical assements

[vestal kestrel]

main missions or bounties if I remember correctly

[solemn acorn]

ok so what do i need to do to get the tinkerer mask?

[grand swan]

Beat the new mission on master

[hybrid ore]

@solemn acorn Master difficulty for the Potomac Manhunt Mission (the manager) guaranteed drops it at the end, but every difficulty below it has a chance to drop it.

[grand swan]

Also that PFP is a bit... Peculiar

[solemn acorn]

whats the new mission / how do i unlock it

[hybrid ore]

Finish Week 8 and 12 of the Manhunt Scouts.

[solemn acorn]

wdym its just venom snake smoking a cigar

[grand swan]

[hybrid ore]

That looks nothing like Eddie Brock.

[twilit rivet]

i need to do invaded missions but non are on my map, how can i do some of them

[hybrid ore]

@twilit rivet fast travel to the mission that's invaded > "toggle mission mode" back to invadeded (it only works on ones that are invaded for everyone else, and everyone has the same set each week) > enjoy!

[twilit rivet]

which ones are invaded

i cant see any of them

[hybrid ore]

If you know the stronghold, you can select it and it'll make lines connecting to the ones that are.
I'll check ingame, but it's gonna take a sec to set it up.

[twilit rivet]

its the basin stronghold but there are no lines coming off it

ive just done it for the first time

[hybrid ore]

Basin is not invaded, although the game seems to say it is. It's just unlocked once you complete the actual invaded stronghold
what did you do before that?

[twilit rivet]

i did the mission just out the front of the whitehouse to unlock the basin

[hybrid ore]

Oh campaign stuff.

[twilit rivet]

ye

is there more i need to do to unlock it after doing basin for the first time, my research said invaded missions would just become available after

[hybrid ore]

AFAIK they should, but it's been a while since I've run a character from 0.

[twilit rivet]

which mission are invaded, ill try resetting them

[full zinc]

lincoln, fed bunker, potomac iirc

not sure stronghold tho

[twilit rivet]

do i have to wait till next tuesday for it to be possible

[full zinc]

is this for under 30-40

[twilit rivet]

or can i join someone elses mission to complete the manhunt

[twilit rivet]

wym, im lvl watch lvl 55

[full zinc]

im not psychic so i wouldnt know that.. why i asked

[twilit rivet]

ok

[full zinc]

you may have to go on site to toggle something back invaded.

mission options hold g , toggles mode

replay, invaded if available, manhunt if available

[twilit rivet]

the only mission settings are directives and difficulty on all 3 mission that should be invaded

[full zinc]

its not a setting. itll show a tooltip to toggle mode on the bottom of the mission options

which is g by default on pc

[stable nest]

Anyone else unable to play rn?

Nvm game is just silly

[solemn acorn]

thats just the division 2 being the division 2

[full zinc]

if it doesnt show like this or let you toggle mission youll have to goto the mission and interact with the mission banner there. it sometimes derps when swapping mission mode

[twilit rivet]

that option isnt there in person or on the map

do bounties count for the manhunt?

[full zinc]

you may need to restart sounds bugged if there is no option

[twilit rivet]

ill dm you what it looks like for me

[shrewd cosmos]

Just thought I would reply to myself and say there is a great component farm in West potomac also. Just north of Lincoln memorial. 10 boxes

[full zinc]

also food right next to that

and a big water plot just east of lincoln

[hybrid ore]

If you donate enough resources to a control point, you get a "radar" for material boxes, it's worth doing it.

[full zinc]

these used to be the goto spots when someone was farming new agents for shd project exotics

[shrewd cosmos]

Very nice!

[hushed trout]

Which is better st Elmo or pestilence??

[full zinc]

elmo

[shrewd cosmos]

Yeah it seems like these spots may make a comeback for me. Pretty easy to farm levels for seasons and shd and named and exotic components if you delete a character, make a new one, then boost to 40 for the weekly.

I guess the only issue is the other materials that you need 300-500 of each. But if you have them it seems like a nifty thing to do

[solemn acorn]

do i have to complete all weeks before week 8 of the manhunt to be able to complete the objectives for it or can i skip straight to 8

[full zinc]

yeah, thats what it was. i think farming prio might be faster now if you can get exo rewards on top of the caches. its been a minute since running a fresh agent, and i havent deleted any agent after the 40 boost came available

[hybrid ore]

@solemn acorn You should be able to just do Week 8 and 12.

[solemn acorn]

well the first step was to find this dude on an true sons outpost on west mall. did the only true sons outpost there and it didnt complete

[runic wedge]

Best way to farm for st Elmo engine

[kind veldt]

countdown target loot ARs also buy exotic caches with the countdown credits

[fickle ivy]

What's the best way to farm mods?

[fathom harbor]

man, is there a way to not stop sprinting after looting

[upbeat harness]

I think i need to play more im not in the game long enough

[hybrid ore]

@upbeat harness It doesn't matter if no one's responding to you yet, you can't just post in any populated channel.

You can try actually posting next time, #td1-general is the place.

[upbeat harness]

Last message was at 4 am and jts 2 pm, id be waiting 9 hrs?

[hybrid ore]

You posting can prompt someone to respond, if you need further details please re-read this message again.

A game from 2016 is going to naturally be less populated in its general chat than other games, but it does have a community around it.

[upbeat harness]

All I want to know is if it gets easier, im lvl 3 and I die all the time

[hybrid ore]

Then ask in that channel.

[upbeat harness]

Mate I just did, i assume you've all played 1

Is it really that a pain to answer real quick than make me wait 9 hrs?

[fathom harbor]

how do i make castle settlement alive ?

[azure lintel]

Incursion is tougher or easier in comparision to legendary

[hybrid ore]

@upbeat harness Plenty of people do, however just because you can't be bothered, doesn't mean you get to ignore the rules.
Just post in the right place from now on, you'll eventually get an answer.

@azure lintel It's Heroic tier, but a little harder overall.

@fathom harbor Keep playing the campaign.

[azure lintel]

Ou okay thanks

I wanna try doing incursion but kinda unsure about doing it solo

[hybrid ore]

@azure lintel You can't do it solo.
Look up a guide, then find a team down in #lfg-td2incursion-pc

[azure lintel]

Okie 😇 🙌🏻

[upbeat harness]

Is there a d1 active discord or do I just post on reddit? Not trying to ignore the rules mate

[hybrid ore]

This is the official server and covers both, there's no specific server for just div1, as previously mentioned, it's from 2016 and quite empty.

I've given you the channel where to post, if you want to find people for it, check out #td1-lfg

[upbeat harness]

I also did that an hour ago bro haha I know what you are saying, I just asked a question about something different, no need to reiterate its from 2016, just not going to play 2 before playing 1.

[hybrid ore]

You need to chill out.

Avoid pinging me again in the future unless there's an emergency, we typically don't recommend it as it keeps the notifications clear for when they're needed.

[upbeat harness]

I never pinged you? I am chilled out im not being abrasive or anything, I have no idea what you are on about. Jesus.

Oh i replied to you once, mate I didnt even know you were a mod. Ill go back to the other channel before I upset you somehow.

[hallow garden]

lol

[hybrid ore]

Some days it's just not worth logging on.

[fathom harbor]

when can i do descent

[hybrid ore]

@fathom harbor If you don't have it unlocked yet, just keep doing the campaign.

[elfin hazel]

level 20

[fathom harbor]

im lv20

next main mission is lv24

[elfin hazel]

you should be able to do descent from this icon/area on the map

[fathom harbor]

the one on my map is outside of the map upper right

[elfin hazel]

you should be able to do it through there as well

[runic wedge]

Fastest way to level up battle pass!

[full zinc]

priority objectives. weekly projects. invaded missions. any activity that awards season xp

stronghold priority missions have great return for time spent

[hybrid ore]

Special note for Manhunt Scouts/Journey for Season Pass XP.

[nocturne vessel]

yo will rogue agents spawn at bank HQ on challenging? i'm trying to farm

[still sonnet]

they only spawn on heroic

[nocturne vessel]

thanks

[nocturne vessel]

is it after the first wave(the main lobby when you enter)?

[still sonnet]

yea they usually spawn in the second room, if they dont then wipe and try again

[nocturne vessel]

so i clear BOTH rooms

[still sonnet]

nah, youll get the rogue agent warning as you get close to the doors

[nocturne vessel]

oh okay! thanks alot for the help!

[still sonnet]

yw

[hybrid ore]

That is not true.

[nocturne vessel]

just to be clear i don't need to open the doors, right?

[hybrid ore]

Rogues can spawn in any regular/stronghold mission (not 100% sure about Invaded), but they will a) always spawn in at group size +1, and b) they will replace an encounter.

however, they do not replace a boss.

[still sonnet]

never seen them spawn in anything but heroic but ill take your word for it

[hybrid ore]

I answer a lot of calls for backup, see them on Chall all the time.

[still sonnet]

you can but if you didnt get the warning before hand its unlikely you got them

[hybrid ore]

If you really want to focus farm them, run Summit.
they will spawn in every real 30 minutes.

[nocturne vessel]

alright. thanks!

[still sonnet]

bank hq is easier because the lobby is really easy to clear on solo and then you just have to go up the stairs to see if they spawn or not

[hybrid ore]

If you really want to hate div2 very quickly, dying to trigger a respawn is a great way to go about it.

[still sonnet]

you just have to walk back outside and reset the mission

[hybrid ore]

Same principle. It's incredibly boring and ruins the whole point.
Having to farm a few Rogues for a single project is not that big of a deal, you are meant to do it via playing the game, not cheesing.

CP's/summit/random missions/even just the open LZ map. They can spawn all over the place.

[nocturne vessel]

i just got Imperial Dynasty😭😭😭

RNGesus said "no rogues for you take this instead"

[opaque lion]

3rd Nemesis and another Provocator

[nocturne vessel]

can i get Nemesis from the summit tho

[hybrid ore]

@nocturne vessel Only if you have the blueprint from the Project.

(or have completed the entire project, but you only technically need the BP)

[opaque lion]

if you're looking to get it directly you might need to wait for 3 or more weeks

[nocturne vessel]

why though?

[opaque lion]

parts are from invaded strongholds and Grand Washington Hotel

[hybrid ore]

You need Grand Washington Hotel set to Invaded in order to get the blueprint, which you need any 2 random parts in order for the BP to drop.
IIRC you can actually set it up quite quickly nowadays, by breaking down the Adrestia > re-run invaded stronghold > IIRC that should now count as 2 parts.

[opaque lion]

you can start rn and get that Sniper Rifle in Tidal Basin and a part from Roosevelt and pray that next week, Grand Washington Hotel is invaded

[nocturne vessel]

i love the imperial dynasty holster

[upbeat harness]

Is there a lfg channel for xbox all I see is pc

I tried division 1 and it felt punishing only solo so hoping d2 is more active

[scenic tapir]

You need to add the Xbox role to yourself to see it

[upbeat harness]

Anyone know a good recap video for division 1 so I can jump into 2? I wish I played 1 when it came out

[nocturne vessel]

basically virus outbreak.

Shit happens

everyone gets divided.

you try to stop them

i think

[upbeat harness]

Haha so its the same plot as 1?

Downloading now, hope I can find matchmaking

[hybrid ore]

You asked for a plot about 1, if you want more of a story recap, I'd recommend asking the folks over in #division-universe, as that's their whole deal.
You can also look up "NGN division" on youtube, he's the official lore youtuber.

[upbeat harness]

Yeah, I was going to youtube a synopsis quickly on it, 1 was fun for the 3 hours i played but looking for a more online experience

Ans my friend said he'd play 2 when he gets on in a few days bc he finished 1

[hybrid ore]

2 is 100% more popular, especially now since a new Season is due to start in about 6 days.

There's a lot to 2's plot, you will 100% get overwhelmed, but play through the story and don't skip anything, you'll get it after a while.

[upbeat harness]

Ah sweet, very excited haha! Going to watch that synopsis now!

Man im so keen to give this a go, especially since its active, been looking for an active multilayer game that isn't an fps or diablo

[hybrid ore]

It's best to think of div2 as closer to a military sim, but more arcadey.
You die fast if you're standing up out of cover, you need to move smart, pick the right combo of stuff, stats matter, etc.

[upbeat harness]

I played a ton of breakpoint and wildlands, that's right up my alley

[hybrid ore]

It's actually not that dissimilar to Breakpoint in particular.

but no stealth function.

[thin oasis]

Its a "hard cover shooter" by which i mean, like Rivens said without hard cover you WILL die 🤣

Its a game about maths, luckily all the lovely nerds have already done the math for you in #td2-build-advice 😆

[hybrid ore]

well, unless you stand kinda to the side of a half-wall.

[undone timber]

Get sent I've got my 6 blue foundry bulwark god mode DPS tank

[hybrid ore]

Naval, they're not gonna understand that.

tl;dr you can't tank in div2.

[upbeat harness]

Should I look at the builds advice now? Or wait til I play a bit more

[thin oasis]

Nah, no point in a build until level 40

[hybrid ore]

If you are below lvl 40: don't worry about it.

[upbeat harness]

Ah sweet

[thin oasis]

Everything except exotic items you pick up while levelling become useless once you level up.

The most important thing is keeping your gear level matching with the enemies

[upbeat harness]

Okay caught up on d 1 story, I'll probs play 1 after 2s live service is finished

[thin oasis]

Also gives you time to experiment with different weapons and playstyles whilst levelling up so that when you get to level 40, you know what you want to do

[upbeat harness]

Yeah forsure. Im a big Assault rifle and dmr kind of person

But I'll try and branch out

[thin oasis]

ARs are the most used, and most versatile guns in Div 2, so you'll have alot of fun there

[hybrid ore]

In div2, the naming conventions for weapons is a little confusing.
So we have "assault rifle" "marksman rifle" and "rifle". All are unrelated to each other, and none share buffs.

[upbeat harness]

Ah excellent, the games micro transactions are just cosmetic like 1 right?

[thin oasis]

Yes

[upbeat harness]

That's very surprising for ubisoft haha

If this game had cross save id play on my pc and xbox

[hybrid ore]

div2's fanbase is made up of mostly people who are of the model train age, so expect a few differences from most other online-only games.

[thin oasis]

And some unlock certain functions in the game, like extensions, but most (apart from the classified mission) can be unlocked by simply playing

[upbeat harness]

Model train? Im 30 rn

[thin oasis]

35, but we're in the younger section

[hybrid ore]

Embrace it, a week playing this and you will start calling people "sonny".

[upbeat harness]

Ah really haha

That's rad

[thin oasis]

Its odd because Div2 is kind of fast paced but cover shooters do seem to suit an older audience more.

[hybrid ore]

you can also play div2 as slower-paced if you want, just don't expect people joining the game to go along with it.

[upbeat harness]

Ill probably try and do all side missions and mains quick to get to the main population

I love side content

[hybrid ore]

There's absolutely no reason to rush, just take your time and enjoy the world.
the map design is A++

[thin oasis]

Yeah anyone who joins to help you, if you send out a backup request, will not wait around for orders. They'll just tear through whatever you're doing get their shephard reward and leave

[upbeat harness]

Ah okay, I'll probably request for open world but not for main missions unless I get stuck

[vital cave]

No need to rush endgame aint going anywhere my friend enjoy the game and story

[hybrid ore]

After a while, you can also join a #td2-clan-recruitment, you can find one where people want to play at that pace.

[upbeat harness]

Ah sweet

[thin oasis]

As long as you keep your gear level up, the general story game isn't too hard once you understand the mechanics.

Cover is your friend, and cover to cover moves are infinitely better than trying to cover ground by sprinting

[upbeat harness]

I did find it hard going for cover to cover. I wouldn't say clunky maybe I just wasnt used to it

[thin oasis]

Not sure what the button is on Xbox, but you basically just aim at it and hold the cover button.

You will automatically move as long as you hold it until you're in cover again

[upbeat harness]

I honestly dont think I've played many cover shooters, not even gears of war

So its probably going to take some getting used to

[hybrid ore]

IIRC there can be a sort of delay with moving around in cover-to-cover that's a setting, try fiddling with those.

[upbeat harness]

Ah sweet I will do that! 17 more mins haha

[thin oasis]

Always try to use full cover if its available (cover you can stand in like a pillar)

If not look for cover thats higher up than the enemy if available

[upbeat harness]

Its alao downloading dlc i velieve

[hybrid ore]

It's all included in the game itself, you can't download DLC separate.

[upbeat harness]

First responder pack, battlement secret service, year 1 pass. Battle for Brooklyn, elite agent pack,

[hybrid ore]

It's all part of the same file, since the game is saved on ubi servers, you can't access bits you don't have access to.

[upbeat harness]

Ah fair, I have ubisoft like sub service so I didn't get to choose what to dl

[hybrid ore]

tl;dr Everyone has the files for everything, you just buy the DLC to unlock it.

[upbeat harness]

I dont want an answer but I hope for the female custom character I can choose long hair this time

If not all good but I hope I can

Im very keen on the outfits, won't spend money but I like that aspect since its third person, unlike in cyberpunk how its pre useless haah

[hybrid ore]

You are a soldier, not an anime model.
but you can have vaguely long-ish hair, mostly it's out, not down though.

[upbeat harness]

I just want a ponytail

[thin oasis]

You can have one

[hybrid ore]

You can have one of those!

[upbeat harness]

Sweet, didnt want like pink pigtails haha

[thin oasis]

I have one on mine lol

[upbeat harness]

I might have to make an evening coffee

Going to really crack into it

[hybrid ore]

I did post a picture a while back where you can see the ponytail, it's stubby, but again, military stuff. #td2-general-chat message

[upbeat harness]

That hairs fine with me

[fluid meadow]

talk about a stretched screen

[upbeat harness]

I want an ultra wide but I barely use my pc anymore

[hybrid ore]

That is actually a horizontal snip on a 1080p screen, so I didn't have to take up too much space.

[thin oasis]

Rivens playing on 8,000 x 1000 resolution :smirk

[hybrid ore]

16:9, baby.

windows snipping tool is like half of my job on here, i swear.

[upbeat harness]

I got a 25 inch 4k monitor on tbe side of my couch and a TV infront of me, bc well screens, should get a third one for subway surfers

[thin oasis]

Most of the outfits, like almost all games, look better on female characters imo

[hybrid ore]

the other half is equal parts character counting, and translating german.

[hybrid ore]

Ooh time out there.

[upbeat harness]

I agree, I used to play as a male but the last 5 years always go female

[hybrid ore]

hard disagree.

the female body type (what it's referred to in div2), can be a little wonky on certain outfit pieces.

[thin oasis]

I always play female if its a possibility. Like I tell my wife, if I'm staring at an ass for hours its going to be a woman's 🤣

[hybrid ore]

Okay don't be weird.

it's workable for fashion, but i avoid certain pieces.

[upbeat harness]

😆

[thin oasis]

Most games just tend to put more effort into outfits for female characters tbh.

[upbeat harness]

The only character im male on is runescape

[thin oasis]

Not even sure why entirely, but they do seem to just look better.

Wasn't long ago that people played female characters purely because of the smaller hit box 🤣

[dense saffron]

I always preferred male characters

[fluid meadow]

personally i feel the same about the male one too
they all just have the same body type but different faces which just makes most of them look off putting

[hybrid ore]

I mean, not all.

unrelated note, but I would love an option for 1 or 2 strap, I don't hate either on certain shirts, but it'd be great for the variation.
I know that would be so much work.

[fluid meadow]

if my male character doesn't look like sevagoth prime i am NOT playing him

[thin oasis]

I find it weird that we've saved multiple people, prevented the white house being blown up, saved NY from destruction, and all the other feats.

While being the most ignorant person in the entire game and never saying anything to anyone 🤣

[hybrid ore]

@fluid meadow I finally got a fashion for him that im happy with, and have been getting compliments ingame.
the highest honour!

[upbeat harness]

Im keen to see the options in t minus 3 nins!

[thin oasis]

Your options at the start are a variety of plaid shirts and some jeans or jorts🤣

[hybrid ore]

the Agent is my spirit animal. Just gets it over with, really hates anyone who dresses like an edge-lord, and doesn't say a word.

[upbeat harness]

Ur saying there's no peter griffin skin?

[fluid meadow]

i had someone compliment my drifter outfit even though its barebones
it's the thought that counts

[thin oasis]

We've had payday crossover....Marvel cant be far away now 🥰

[hybrid ore]

that free lotus outfit puts in so much work for drifter, can not wait for signas!
okay this is so off topic its not funny lol.

[upbeat harness]

Oh that's cool, im surprised no other ubisofr property crossovers

[hybrid ore]

Payday/Stalker/Resident Evil is about the limit for crossovers.

div2 has a very specific style, and that style is "post apocalyptic murder hobo".

[thin oasis]

^ I love that description

[vital cave]

Btw will the resident evil old bundles return on Halloween?

[upbeat harness]

Okay its downloaded woo!

[vital cave]

Or we get new ones

[fluid meadow]

looking very intently on babyface

[hybrid ore]

@vital cave We don't get told anything ahead of time as mods.

[thin oasis]

Was Ada Wong skin in there?

[hybrid ore]

I once saw a homeless man in a baby mask IRL, so i can vouch for that one.

not even a joke.

[void crow]

Just got back to the game, man my things suck xd

[vital cave]

Oh ye my bad forgot about that

[vital cave]

Farm countdown my friend

[hybrid ore]

If the devs want to tell us something, they will, but it's not common and we can't ask.
e.g. September 16th being the end of Recruiter.

think of us as janitors, we don't get to ask for company secrets.

[thin oasis]

You just solve math puzzles in the basement 🤣

Movie reference 😃

[upbeat harness]

Haha I can have pink hair XD

[hybrid ore]

The apocalypse did only just happen, there's loads of dye around.

[thin oasis]

Yes, many things are difficult to find. But nobody looted the hair dye

[hybrid ore]

It's not exactly food+water.

[vital cave]

Btw should I farm stretch goals? I’m lvl 141 I’ll get lex on 12th September but is turmoil worth farming for since on 150 I get that too

[void crow]

Yeah I am just too beginner, have to watch some YT that what I wanna/should build xd

[hybrid ore]

@vital cave It's only 9, you might as well get a freebie.

[upbeat harness]

The character is pre thick, like broad

[thin oasis]

I would imagine though, entirely in the context of the game, since its Peroxide it could be weaponized

[hybrid ore]

@upbeat harness Military trained badass.

[vital cave]

As everyone else says it make a striker build it will make the farm for other builds better

[upbeat harness]

Hell ye, I'll dm u my character

[hybrid ore]

@void crow I'd recommend avoiding youtube builds for div2, most of the channels are really click-baity.

[thin oasis]

Just use #td2-build-advice

[hybrid ore]

^There's a list of actually good builds 📌 pinned over in #td2-build-advice > spreadsheet 2.

[void crow]

I see..

[thin oasis]

As Rivens said, unless theyre one of the few that contributed to the extensive build theory done by the good guys in that channel, most youtubers builds are just trash or copied directly from there anyway

[upbeat harness]

Hmthe character customisation was quite good compared to the first one

[vital cave]

Can you buy backpacks with textiles?

[hybrid ore]

fun fact: they ported all the options from div1 to div2 after a while, so you can re-create your char exactly.

[vital cave]

Or it’s all credits

[void crow]

Yeah I tried some YT build that does like 1.4mil per hit and it failed on me fully xD

[upbeat harness]

Oh interesting, also not in new York anymore? Cool I don't know usa that well but this is DC?

[hybrid ore]

and by "ported", I mean they had to remake them all from scratch, due to different models being used.

[void crow]

Ill just use the spreadsheet

[upbeat harness]

Oh wow it looks so good graphics wise, very nice

[thin oasis]

Also avoid any build that uses the seasonal modifiers.

Its a bad practise in general because they change each season, but the modifiers are changing in 6 days so those builds will become useless

[thin oasis]

Its a beautiful game honestly

[fluid meadow]

b-b-but my 100% chc...

[hybrid ore]

snowdrop is an amazing engine, and I am so excited what gets done with it for 3.

[void crow]

Oh man my Striker is so bad GULP. Using Memento as well in mine

[thin oasis]

For saying its 7 years old graphically it still stands up

[fluid meadow]

if crits are bad using bag that loses 2 minors is not helping

[thin oasis]

Coyotes mask, ceska oblit chest and 4 pc strikers is the basic build

[hybrid ore]

snowdrop has actually been in (public) development since 2013, which is when it was shown off.
there arent many engines that still look this good after being in production for ~13 years.

[thin oasis]

Backpack is almost essential because it provides a 25% damage boost at full stacks

Can work with Memento when solo, but I personally don't use it

[upbeat harness]

Ill stop posting things u all know but damn the sniping is so fluid now, so satisfying

[hybrid ore]

hey thats okay lol, everyone started out as new, and seeing enthusiasm is always good.

[upbeat harness]

Mailbox time let's what goodies I get

[hybrid ore]

anyone tells you off for it, you tell them I said it was cool.

[thin oasis]

Its great to welcome other people into the game and see them excited to play

Ive only been playing since May myself, and I've put 500 hours in lmao

[upbeat harness]

I can see myself playing this for awhile, I need a light game, I've been playing too many j rpgs and rpgs

[thin oasis]

#ask-td2-community message

Here's my strikers

[thin oasis]

The great thing about Div2 is that theres no rush to get anywhere.

[upbeat harness]

I enjoy side content and 1 had a ton even at level 6, so I think I'll be happy

[void crow]

Thanks, but my SHD level is super low so I am missing lot from there already =w= have to figure out what is the best SHD level farm at the moment, I think it would be open world control points and some other public executions or stuff

[thin oasis]

Ive used the same build since Shd level 300

And yes CP4 is the fastest for sustained XP gain, while completing open world events as you pass them.

[upbeat harness]

2 lvl 30 guns and a pair of gloves

[void crow]

I see, I am using St Elmo's but im not sure if that is the best way to go anymore

[thin oasis]

It is, Elmos is the most used (thats my primary)

Other options are Lexington, any High end M4...

Strikers is so versatile it works with literally any high RPM gun

[upbeat harness]

Damn nothing from my apparel loot box

[thin oasis]

You'll get hundreds of apparel keys as you level up and play. Don't worry about it

[upbeat harness]

Omg I see another player!

Theres people!!

I bought a skill points drone and set it but I can't summon it,m

?*

[tropic sentinel]

Cooldown/safe zone?

[upbeat harness]

Nope, im on the map

Ill check again if I did it properly when im back at base

Ah i unlocked the drone but when I select it I guess I cant use it til I unlock a subclass for it

[tropic sentinel]

What drone was it?

[upbeat harness]

Oh no im an idiot

I havent even unlocked the option to use a skill yet

[thin oasis]

You're just new lol you'll get used to it.

Most of the UI in Div2 is VERY poorly done tbh

[upbeat harness]

Is there a skill later on that highligs loot while u walk

[void crow]

I guess countdown is best to farm Coyote mask or summit?

[thin oasis]

Sort of, when you resupply a control point after unlocking detection, it makes it more visible

[thin oasis]

Countdown, and buy exotic caches with req points

[upbeat harness]

Ah sweet

[thin oasis]

Or, Jefferson Trade Center when masks are the target loot os the optimal way since the boss drops Coyotes

[tropic sentinel]

Looting is rather waste of time. But I guess at low level you can still get some random cosmetics from those bags and what not.

[void crow]

🤗

[upbeat harness]

Im keen to see attachments, its so dark and stormy dn

Rn

[thin oasis]

Fun fact: when it's foggy enemies notice you less allowing you to get closer

[upbeat harness]

Ah cool, im about to mow down some hyenas

How many main missions generally to do before I can just do a lot of side missions and loot

[fluid meadow]

And it removes your red dot/aim assist
REMOVE IT

[thin oasis]

Take notice of weak spots on enemies.

Rushers carry a red satchel that explodes in gas when you shoot it confusing everyone around them.

Grenadier's carry a similar satchel full of grenades that explode when shot

[upbeat harness]

I just found 2 exotics in my mailbox

[thin oasis]

More fun to play as its meant to be played 😁

[upbeat harness]

Oh just obe

One. Something called ruthless

Wonder if any low lvl players for grand Washington hotel, going to wait 10 mins, u never know!

[hybrid ore]

If you go to the social tab of the menu and "call for backup" (and recall each time someone joins, up to a max of 4 ppl total) you will likely get people way faster.

it's how most of us find teammates.

[upbeat harness]

Ill try that!

Will it notify me when someone joins?

[hybrid ore]

ISAC will tell you several times in a row lol.

and the bottom right of your screen will have a name appear.

[upbeat harness]

Haha okay, I'll stand still for a few mins and if not luck im going in!

[thin oasis]

Be wary that the game will buffs enemies to the highest level player in the squad

[upbeat harness]

Shame its 8pm i wanted to play a lot today haha

[thin oasis]

You'll receive a buff too, but your weapons will be like pea shooters

[hybrid ore]

you can actually call whilst youre mobile, just not during boss encounters.

[upbeat harness]

Ah cool

Off i go!

[thin oasis]

Good luck Agent

[upbeat harness]

Im all gamed out. This game tho is playing a lot more refined than 1, every issue I had with 1 earlier is fine now

[hybrid ore]

A lot of good work was put into 2 for sure.

there's a reason we're still playing it after 7 years.

[upbeat harness]

Yeah forsure

[vital cave]

Fashion

That’s one of the main reasons

[hybrid ore]

World design for me, but sure the pretties.

[gilded oar]

server off?

[jovial scroll]

All the lfgs I can find are dead, feels bad man

[hybrid ore]

You're looking for #lfg-playstation, but also check out #td2-clan-recruitment and find some teammates.

[cloud jewel]

why cant i buy tha payday event pass from addons ingame?

says error

[hybrid ore]

Payday Event is over.

It's been over for a while, actually.

[cloud jewel]

bruh why they keep it in the shop then lel

[hybrid ore]

It's not? Post a shot of it over in #ask-td2-community

[cloud jewel]

me and my 2 buddys can see it under addons in the shop

posted it

oh lol it took my 1k credits ...

[upbeat harness]

I legit cant wait to play tomorrow

Hopefully someone replies to my lfg too

I like how u get a lil loot box crate after the mission

[cloud jewel]

does the game have crossplay. cuz i would fr

[autumn fossil]

servers down"?

[cloud jewel]

im in. but im on pc dont know about playstation

[upbeat harness]

I wish, if it had cross save id play on pc with it too

[autumn fossil]

I wish it did not. To many hackers on pc

[upbeat harness]

Cross save means i could play my save over both, not cross play

Like what cyberpunk has, I can play the same save on my pc, switch and xbox

[autumn fossil]

Again.. To many hackers on PC able to manipulate stuff and save game. Porting it to console after

[upbeat harness]

Yeah that's fair. Is there pvp I division 2? It its just pve I dont really think many people would be affected by that

[autumn fossil]

Sadly there is pvp. Like a small percent of ppl actually enjoy it.

[upbeat harness]

Ah then defs a reason not for having a cross save then

[autumn fossil]

They even adding a bit PVE VP map

[vital cave]

I can buy a backpack with textiles sledge backpack dam I wish I found that earlier

[upbeat harness]

Man I gotta play one more mission

Hmm are ubsioft servers down

Nvm!

[thin oasis]

They're not, just log out and back in

[upbeat harness]

I think I'll try and explore the lil area after now that I've done Washington hotel

Where do I go to do the searchkng for activity's thing like in the first game for side missions?

Im at the white house

[quaint prairie]

once i reach stretch goal rank 150 i get guaranteed turmoil in a future update ?

[thin oasis]

Just open the main map, click on something to set a marker and follow the orange line

[thin oasis]

You get it on the 12th

[quaint prairie]

okay thanks

[upbeat harness]

So there's nothing like the searching the map for activity in 2?

[thin oasis]

I mean you can just wander around and find them

[upbeat harness]

Yeah i will, also u guys were right someone joined my game and wss 1 shooting and rushing. I legit force quit my game. I was missing all the npc dialogue!

Im going to explore my level area. Won't be going to the level 40 one haha

[jagged prism]

your social is probably set to open or something of that nature, you'll have to go there and set it to another option, forget the 2 options but they're in there

[upbeat harness]

Do I lesrn about the hyenas and true sons? I feel like I'm missing something since im so early. Are they from the first game?

[jagged prism]

hyenas, true sons and outcasts are in DC. Cleaners and rykers are in NY and brooklyn

[tiny oar]

no, they are from div 2, organized after gov completely fell

[thin oasis]

You learn about everything slowly and through tid bits of lore you find

[tiny oar]

if you wanna learn more about lore you can ask anything in #division-universe , but i suggest you complete the story, the dlcs, and then the manhunts first

[thin oasis]

And yes, group scaling is really bad for new players

[upbeat harness]

Yeah forsure, I got 4 missions, 2 with true sons, im jus exploring and about to do a classified assignment, saving the main missions for tomorrow when im more energetic haha

[jagged prism]

after you do what Lyfe the Enthusiast told you and you want more look up NGN on youtube. still haven't made it through the 5 hour video lol

[tiny oar]

also there are some found footage in game after you complete some missions, which provide some context/lore

it will tell you who/what they are

[upbeat harness]

Hmm I cant scan this entrance

Maybe its a skill I need

[blazing citrus]

Turmoil and a lexington

[tiny oar]

classified assignments are a dlc, if you didnt bought it you cant do thoses

[jagged prism]

no skill needed, but you do need the Year 1 pass to access those

[upbeat harness]

I have that dlc, I have the ubisoft pass thing which gives me all ill double check

[tiny oar]

then idk, i dont have it x)

[upbeat harness]

Yeah I own it, maybe its bc im very early lvl 3

[jagged prism]

think if you bought gold or ultimate it'd give everything but brooklyn

[tiny oar]

oh yeah, just do normal missions first

reach lvl 30, do wony, then bfb at 40

[jagged prism]

nods normal missions will level you quickly

[tiny oar]

and side missions when you want

[upbeat harness]

Im doing some control points before bed, if I did main story itd go thru one ear and out the other haha

[tiny oar]

yeah go at your pace, enjoy the game

[jagged prism]

before the latest update where you can go 1-40 in DC the side missions were more of a leave until you've done all main missions and be like mid 20's to high 20's then start the side missions so you can hit 30 then goto NY (Warlords of New York)

[upbeat harness]

Ah okay, im more of a all side content before main type of person haha

[jagged prism]

you can do that now anyways, was just saying there was a time it was advised to save them for last, now it probably doesn't matter anymore

[upbeat harness]

Will i learn about resource nodes and what resources do vis main missions. Maybe I should do more main missions to learn mechanics

[jagged prism]

resource nodes? if you go into your inventory and goto resources you can see which factions drops which materials you'll need

[upbeat harness]

Yes but what are they dor

For

[jagged prism]

materials?
crafting armor/weapons/gear(skill) mods
optimizing your build(s)
weekly project (shd requisition)

[upbeat harness]

Ah interesting, and what about the food etc?

Ill have to have a big gaming session tomorrow haha

Im very happy to find a big game like this with semi looter shooters mechanics

[jagged prism]

i rarely use them honestly
think i just hand them out here and there when i need a bounty in an area and it's empty

[upbeat harness]

Ah okay cool, I somehow lost my rifle so I hope I find another scope and rifle tomorrow 😄

[jagged prism]

if you're not favoriting your stuff that you want to use a lot of, it's possible you dismantled it/sold it, but at your low level you just want to keep taking the higher level items as much as possible to make leveling a little less painful

[upbeat harness]

Yeah i think i may of dismantled, yeah im trying to change the weapon ea higher one regardless of the type of weapon it is

I wonder if I should of got this for pc instead of xbox

[fickle ivy]

I dont have luck with marksman rifles I wouldn't recommend however you want to follow the weaponry in which your gear will aid you in the most

[jagged prism]

depends if you're more of a controller person or you'd rather do things on a keyboard/mouse or controller. same game wether you use console or pc

[upbeat harness]

I was thinking moreso for playerbase, didn't realise no one uses xbox anymore haha

[jagged prism]

just know now, there is no cross play/save
so if you go PC now after being on xbox console you'll be starting all over again

[upbeat harness]

Yeah, my laptop is a 4070, id be using controller as well, just should decide before I get too far into it

[fickle ivy]

This game isn't cross-platform with pc players?

[jagged prism]

nope, 6 yearish old game when cross play was probably just starting maybe?

[fickle ivy]

Valid point

[thin oasis]

It will likely be in Div3 but they have stated it would be too much work to add it now to Div2

[jagged prism]

i have no clue about cross play, but some people seem to think "just add it" but it'd probably require a rebuild of the game and servers at this point or it might be more about "keeping the cheaters to one platform" or maybe the reports of cheaters without realizing some people are good at using softwares to make playing games like this a little bit easier

[upbeat harness]

I think i might get it for my laptop tomorrow, since I can run, it in 4k with my specs and I dont know what resolution xbox does, and id assume more people be active

[jagged prism]

i'd say depends on the console, pretty sure latest should have 4k by now?

[thin oasis]

Difference between console and PC is that the game itself needs to support 4k in order for it to be used.

Not sure if DIV2 does or not

[undone timber]

It's Series S/X optimised so id assume it does

[thin oasis]

It does, I just looked it up. Support 4k @ 60fps

[upbeat harness]

Ah really, I didnt see a graphics option in the settings

[undone timber]

Pretty much any game on console doesn't have advanced gfx settings

Just select ones have FPS boost and HDR and stuff

[upbeat harness]

Xbox usually does for performance and wuality mode for 4k games

[jagged prism]

my knowledge of 4k is the same as cross play/save
think last i remember getting a 4k tv was in the $1k's but now i looked recently since my dad expressed interest in it for tv shows coming in clearer and can buy them for hundreds now and our tv already has it. think we probably gotta ask our cable company for a 4k tv box or something

[upbeat harness]

Hmm judging from the lfg pc it seems active more than xbox but only for high level content
Im conflicted, my friend wants to play with me on xbox but we have totally opposite time zones

[blazing citrus]

Arent tvs generally not recommended for gaming or is it a "get with the times old man" situation 🥲

[upbeat harness]

I use a 4k high hz monitor for xbox and whenever I dust my pc i havea. 32 inch samsung oled 4k thingo

[kind veldt]

it's very product by product situation

[undone timber]

Xbox has it's own LFG dashboard on the console

[jagged prism]

probably, but just thinking some people not living on their own with their own money probably can't buy a console specific monitor/tv to play on

[undone timber]

You'll find more people on there than discord LFGs

[upbeat harness]

Oh true let me check that en

Rn

Oh wow that's actually extremely active

[thin oasis]

Generally you don't want to use TV's for gaming, because they don't have great refresh rates

[undone timber]

I've got a TV we bought back in like 2014 still going strong 4k 60hz

[thin oasis]

And also TVs generally do a ton of image processing, so you end up with significant input lag compared to a monitor that just displays what it's told

[upbeat harness]

Im staying with xbox, there's like 8 current lfgs

[thin oasis]

They have improved significantly, but they will never be close to Monitors in terms of gaming

[jagged prism]

they want to be though XD

[upbeat harness]

My Samsung tv has actually good hz surprisingly, can do 120hz 4k

[thin oasis]

They're trying for sure, but the difference is noticeable, especially in competitive gaming

[blazing citrus]

"4k" 🙂
"60hz" 🥲

[upbeat harness]

Yeah the ms input lag shit right

[undone timber]

I haven't had any noticeable issues with input lag tbh

Not that I play valorant or anything where it would actually matter

[upbeat harness]

Also for div 2, what is one thing you wish you knew or did in early game that you only learnt later on

[thin oasis]

Yeah it's not a massive thing unless you're a competitive gamer or anything

[jagged prism]

the way i look at consoles honestly
they're the stuff a person who upgraded their pcs the lastest and greatest after x years then passing that old pc to another person in some way

[thin oasis]

Don't optimise anything unless it's almost perfect.

It's faster to farm a new piece.

[thin oasis]

Pc is for graphical brilliance. Console is for convenience

[upbeat harness]

Honestly my pc is 3080ti and my laptop is 4060, aside from 30fps 4k the 1440 to 1800p 60gps console experience is very good

4070*

[jagged prism]

consoles could probably getting better since the demand for it is probably high now a days

[tropic sentinel]

What convenience console provides that PC can't? The only difference is price. But even then some competitive handhelds and what not are coming out.

[thin oasis]

Space, cost etc

[upbeat harness]

I cant really put my pc in the living room without my girlfriend wigging out

[thin oasis]

A good PC setup is quite an eyesore 😉

[tropic sentinel]

Find new girlfriend. Profit.

[jagged prism]

mine is an eyesore because of how old it is XD

[thin oasis]

Mine takes up half our bedroom and my wife isn't happy about it lmao

[upbeat harness]

I have mine in the office with 3x monitors and I haven't turned it on in months haha

[jagged prism]

streamer?

[thin oasis]

Used to a while ago, but haven't for a few years

[upbeat harness]

I am also ex streamer haha

[jagged prism]

ah, you said half the room so was just assuming a streamer set up of some sort
otherwise i'd ask if you got VR hooked to your PC too XD

[thin oasis]

I have lmao

and a huge desk, full steering wheel set up, 3 monitors, ring lights the lot

and even with all that. There's space for a console set up and extra chair next to me lol

[jagged prism]

hooked up to something like a bose sound system so the whole neighborhood is like "dorky's playing division 2 again"?

[tropic sentinel]

All those peripherals and monitors don't really count as PC, you could set same thing with console. Or get a mini tower, only use a tv and controller and it's same thing space wise. And you don't need to pay scam monthly subs and what not.

[thin oasis]

Sound proofing on the walls. We've had angry letters from neighbours before lmao

[spare ocean]

Anyone in DZ right now?

[jagged prism]

catches breath from laughing too much thanks dorky XD

[thin oasis]

Absolutely, it's a personal choice but if you're going PC it's for a reason.

Most buy a console because they can sit on their couch and just play

[jagged prism]

nods or go on vaction and take the chance of bringing it with them? would be expensive to lose during vacation though 🤔

[upbeat harness]

I wish the switch 2 was more powerful so people would port more games to to it, division 2 on switch 2 would be amazing

[blazing citrus]

It would get worse

[thin oasis]

Nintendo is just a garbage company at this point

[tropic sentinel]

Yeah better to get steam deck, or even wait for new one.

[jagged prism]

living on their mascots mostly 😹

[crimson sierra]

unmitigated truth nuke

division 2 on my deck has absolutely killed my productivity ❤️‍🩹

[blazing citrus]

Arent they the company that made it so they could remotely brick your console 🥲 🤔

[thin oasis]

Honestly, people should stop giving them money at all

[thin oasis]

All consoles can and have done that. It's in all of their ToS and has been for a long time

[blazing citrus]

;-;

[thin oasis]

That's not a reason to hate Nintendo specifically

But there are FAR more reasons to hate them lol

[blazing citrus]

Also whats up with pokemon. Theyve had little to no innovation across the games

[jagged prism]

think i saw videos on that

[tropic sentinel]

They had little to no innovation in their whole mentality.

[thin oasis]

Oops, we're off topic...

Sorry Bird 🤣

[kind veldt]

Well game freaks who make the pokemon games just codes badly, scarlet was an example of always processing an entire almost full sized ocean to tank performance

And yes its a bit off topic

[jagged prism]

our bad. i balme Carterino (> <) just for the fun of it

[upbeat harness]

Game freak can make good games, peep their newest game trailer, I think its Nintendo making them make shit pokemon

Haha im always blamed 🙁

[tiny oar]

game freak didnt make a single good game for like 15 years

[hazy ivy]

Someone didn't play the Sun and Moon, Sword and Shield games

[thin oasis]

Sword and Shield were universally panned.....

And Sun and Moon just made everything too easy with innate xp share

[jagged prism]

btw: this channel is for everyone not on the same platform to chat so asking here for anyone on your platform in dz you won't get much response as you can see

[hazy ivy]

Sword and Shield only got panned because of that dexit stuff and that dumb tree argument. Still got positive reception for gameplay, exploration and mechanics. Sun and Moon was too easy but still fun

[jagged prism]

so anyone but me excited for Retaliation?

[hot ruin]

I think everyone is excited for it

[jagged prism]

dunno about the veterans who have all exotics and probably 999 exotic components didn't seem excited for it in the feedback channels

[slate lion]

There are salty for whom nothing different or new seems to appease

[jagged prism]

i do have all exotics, just not the 999 exotic components. saw videos how to do it but never bothered since still not a fan of expertise which im maxed in anyways just because
think i mostly did the expertise thing to kind of get a feel of how tedious it'd be and relay that to others that's trying to obtain it quickly

[slate lion]

Ditto

[undone timber]

It needs some kind of exclusive as an incentive tbh

[slate lion]

That expertise mechanism was little more than a hamster to bide time

[tiny oar]

bro thoses arent good games

[undone timber]

Exotic blueprints are cute but most people will have copies already

[jagged prism]

looking at it, doesn't consume exotic components so it'd be a good exotic component farm i'd say even though there are probably other faster ways

[slate lion]

I dont mind collecting blueprints. Only issue is best in slot mindset will remove the need to change anything

Biggest issue will be other games i think. Servers seem busy atm chasing those crates

[jagged prism]

ubisoft's plan worked i'd say XD

[hazy ivy]

Yet they have many positive reviews with their gameplay and story getting praised.

[opal radish]

It's been 18 Months and Gate Strats Haven't been banned yet

[undone timber]

I am starting to lose hope

[compact frost]

how do you find said blueprints?

[tiny oar]

cod and fifa also have good review, i wouldnt place them anywhere near exp33 or baldurs gate 3
be real for a second, thoses arent awful games, but they def arent good

[feral mural]

plain bread and water isn't bad, but it's not great either

[hazy ivy]

I really don't care about fifa cause I'm not into their games and COD is dying

[kind veldt]

okay people not sure why looped back to off topic again

[feral mural]

The new open world event? Looks awesome

[red rapids]

if i just started is it hard to find ppl to play with like in the division 1?

i aint never played this so just being able to matchmake would be sick

[whole badge]

guys what we have in the next week ?? which event and why everyone looking for control points ???

[coral mango]

I'm definitely excited for the new content!

[whole badge]

which ones???

[coral mango]

Retaliation specifically.

I'm a PvE player mostly

Been playing since the first game and I still enjoy it.

[whole badge]

bro which event we will get ?? no news

whats the new things

[hybrid ore]

@whole badge A new season starts in 5 days.

[kind veldt]

just check the #news-and-announcements for whatever was the last announcement

[feral mural]

Much more active than D1

[red rapids]

mainly late game or is early game possible?

[feral mural]

any game, as far as I know

[red rapids]

welp i aint seen it so far but i might be unlucky

[hybrid ore]

Most of the player-base is at endgame, but "call for backup" will get you you someone, most of the time.
you can do it via the Social menu, and can re-call to get more, up to a max of 4.

[hidden locust]

Division 2 is more active and matchmaking is more effective plus you can join a clan in the 2nd one.

[red rapids]

Im hopin yall are right i loved the division 1 even solo but it was fun finding ppl in darkzone and even saving some ykno so i hope i can do some missions with others

[hidden locust]

Division 1 sucked for matchmaking. I was blown away with how effective matchmaking is in Division 2 most of the time.

[red rapids]

im just playin 1 for the love of the game i wanted to play 2 for a new experience since it'll be my first time on it and i hear community is more active so

i dont actually know how calling for backup works how u do that?

[tender wave]

Map menu, shd tab

[red rapids]

ohhhh

[tender wave]

Doesn't work in boss fights though

[red rapids]

nah just wanna play missions with others

[tender wave]

You will likely get some high level backup that just cuts through all the enemies before you can even take aim though, so it will reduce the challenge

[red rapids]

yep. found that out.

this dude is chill tho i do help a bit since im powerleveled by the game to keep it fair. i just wish it wasnt this big of a dfference

btw lvl cap aint 30 like division 1 is it?

[hybrid ore]

@red rapids 40 is the hard cap, but there's an infinite system after that.
but gear+guns will always be lvl 40.

[red rapids]

just wanted to know so i can estimate how far i am ykno

[hybrid ore]

@gleaming delta You can only share gear when someone else was there when you got the cache.
but regardless, you're looking for #lfg-xbox or #lfg-playstation, whichever one you have div2 on.

[gleaming delta]

@hybrid ore not really I did it for my friend the other day I had caches and joined after and I pulled the Lexington and gave it to him.....im on pc

[hybrid ore]

I guess whatever works for you, but it shouldn't function like that.
re-regardless: #lfg-pc

[solemn acorn]

i think my scout for week 8 might be bugged?

it read something along the lines of general andersong being in an outpost on east mall, ive cleared both the outposts in the area and the scout has not progressed

[tender wave]

There are 4 CPs in East mall, you have to clear 4 (you can clear the same CPs multiple times though, if you reset them to hostile)

If it's not counting any of them, try logging off and on again

[solemn acorn]

ive cleared the 4 of em lol

how do i reset em?

[tender wave]

Map - global difficulty settings - reset control points

[solemn acorn]

thx

just gonna keep running whatever outpost has true sons on it and hope i get it

[tender wave]

Generally all four of them are true sons, but you can check the count in the manhunt menu and make sure it's ticking up as you complete them

[solemn acorn]

well i got it first try

you love to see it

[runic wedge]

So I tried getting battle pass but it wouldn't let me buy it

[tender wave]

Yeah a few people have reported that this week. It's probably an intentional thing as the season ends in less than a week

[feral mural]

that... Doesn't make a lot of sense

[runic wedge]

That's stupid

[feral mural]

They'll likely have their reasons though

[feral mural]

You're not missing anything but cosmetics, so no biggie

[runic wedge]

That what I wanted lol

[feral mural]

ah. Unlucky lol

[runic wedge]

Right lol 8

[red rapids]

if u aint farming for good cosmetics are u really playing the division right

[tender wave]

I mean, it makes sense to stop people who have only just reached endgame and don't understand the season cycle from buying the pass at this point. But yeah it's weird for players who are already season lvl 100.
I'm just guessing the reason anyway, might be a bug.

[red rapids]

wow the division 2 really is like 1! i crash mid game here too! lmao love it

[dusk sequoia]

Looking for an active clan

Ps5

Us

[tender wave]

If you scroll up a bit in #td2-clan-recruitment you'll find a few PS clans. You can also check the Reddit and Facebook groups

[dusk sequoia]

Yeah I left a message there 2

[tender wave]

That's not really how the channel works, it's for people to advertise their clans and others like yourself to look through the offers

[past burrow]

Does anyone know why I can't purchase the current season pass? I got back to playing the division 2 last week and didn't want to buy the pass until I knew that I would rank pass level 100. I have now completed the pass and want to purchase it, to get all the rewards.

[thin oasis]

Have you tried buying it directly fron the ubi store?

[past burrow]

I believe that works because it pulls the store, but I want to use the premium credits that I have. I only want the pass and not the bundle.

This started after the weekly reset yesterday because the day before I could still purchase the pass.

If I click store in game and I click purchase crossroads pass, it pulls the payday event pass instead.

[runic wedge]

Did u get it?

[solemn acorn]

just tried it on my end, does the same thing

[runic wedge]

Same here can't get pass don't know if it's a bug or not

[dusk sequoia]

@tender wave I didn't see any ps clans

[tender wave]

Scroll up more

Look for the colour of the poster's name

[solemn acorn]

gang how long does it take to beat an invaded mission solo?

[runic wedge]

Not that long

[past burrow]

no I can't get it @runic wedge

[tender wave]

Depends on the mission, difficulty, build etc. Generally 7-15m or so if you're not taking it slowly

[solemn acorn]

im probably just gonna run em normal as im just trying to get em done for scout week 12

[dry gate]

usually invaded missions are more streamlined due to black tusk so you don't go through regular "narrative" version of the missions.. so probably a bit faster than normal version.

[past burrow]

can you reset invaded missions?

[runic wedge]

It's either buged or we just can't buy it

[solemn acorn]

also i only see 2 missions on my map and then the tidal basin stronghold. or will that count as a mission towards the scout goal

[past burrow]

same here @solemn acorn that is why I was asking if you can reset the missions. I'm on my second one right now and is the last one on my map. I need 3 for scout 12.

[hybrid ore]

Potomac Event Centre is also invaded, although the Manager Manhunt mission is visually overriding it.
Just fast travel there and "toggle mission mode".

[tender wave]

Yes if they're part of the current week's invasion - go to the floating difficulty options thing at the start of the mission and toggle mission mode

[solemn acorn]

i dont have the manager manhunt unlocked though

[hybrid ore]

It's still invaded, so go there anyway.

[solemn acorn]

and its not showing as invaded

aight will do

do we know whats gonna happen to the tinkerer mask after the season ends?

like is the mission still gonna be there to farm it or does it move lootpools

[hybrid ore]

You can still re-run the Manager Mission once the season ends, so nothing will happen.

[solemn acorn]

alright so i can chill out on the FOMO

[hybrid ore]

Same goes for the other Manhunt finales. They stay, and the mission even keeps that particular season's Modifiers active.
@loud furnace You're looking for #lfg-pc, GL Agent

[toxic cove]

it really seems like tinkerer mask dropping in anything other than master is completely broken for some people (me)

[hybrid ore]

It's a small chance below Master.

[solemn acorn]

oh thats gonna be fun then cus i dont think my build can take on master

[toxic cove]

it's like 7% i heard

[hybrid ore]

You can build up to it. Everyone started out at that level.

[toxic cove]

14 heroic completions and jack squat

[hybrid ore]

To put it into perspective, I used to be scared of Heroic, now I can run it with all game sound off.

[solemn acorn]

you know what, i come from god damn destiny, farming for hours for a single drop seems like its right up my alley

[toxic cove]

it's bs, this entire event grinding for hours and still got not a single decent item

[hybrid ore]

The big difference between des2 and Div2? Div2 has no RNG protection in place, each run is entirely fresh.

So that "7% chance", is a 93% chance to not get it each time.

[solemn acorn]

i mean i dont think des2 has rng protection

if it does it has never helped me

[hybrid ore]

Des2 has some form of RNG protection, at least it did when I used to play.

[dry gate]

as @hybrid ore says.. I thought that I would be never be able to do legendaries or heroic.. I was getting clapped all the time so for first weeks of playing I ran challenging as highest. Now I help people run through all legendaries pretty much like it's heroic (for the most part - unless it's Zoo 🙂 ). You just get better, you learn the builds, you learn the spawns, you learn upsides and downsides of talents and gearsets.

[solemn acorn]

i think the only rng protection is for raid exotics but after that if ur just farming for random drops its tough

[solemn acorn]

just need to keep working on my build then

[hybrid ore]

Strike end rewards 100% have it in some form, but that's off-topic so don't worry about it.

[toxic cove]

ok so looks like i should have had a 63.8% chance just going by heroics.. not to mention my 5 challenging runs.. after reading all about people who "got it first try"

yeah, this season is just grind forever for no drops.

[solemn acorn]

rn im just running i think its 5 piece striker and the coyote mask (i have no idea how to build)

[hybrid ore]

That explains a lot.

I'll leave this for someone else to dissect.

[solemn acorn]

basically only running red on everything

and for skills ive just got the crusader shield and a reviver hive

[toxic cove]

@solemn acorn Yeah you don't need more than 4 pieces of a gear set. Gear set items have only one attribute rather than normal gear having two.. so you lose a attribute by running 5 strikers instead of 4 strikers and something else

[solemn acorn]

gotcha gotcha

[toxic cove]

unless that 5th piece striker is your absilute only good piece for the slot

[solemn acorn]

also the chameleon is such a fun gun, i dont understand what zooming in with it does though

[dry gate]

just start with a good generalist Striker build.. until you get comfortable with everything else. It won't be slaying master but you will get comfortable on heroic difficulty.

Also, I know people will disagree, but don't feel pressured to play all red builds. Lots of people will tell you, oh just play red builds but I would advise don't. Find a good balance of blue cores (armor) and red cores (weapon damage) with striker builds and use memento if you play solo.

It will make it MUCH easier for you to get experience and just slay everything on heroic. It won't be top notch for master run of Manager, but it will get you to a point of more comfort. Then maybe run Manager a few times solo on Challenging, then Heroic to see the spawn points.

Master is kind of in between Heroic and Legendary so don't expect to be slaying it like it's nothing. Even good players who have played this game for a long time get wrecked on master until they learn it, find pathing, enemy spawns etc etc.. It is meant to be a challenge. You can always ask for help in LFG channel to roll on master with others so they can help you get the Tinkerer.

The point is, enjoy your time with the game, play with builds, read talents, see bonus sets, and just play open world. Open world is one of the best practices actually about situational awareness in the game because it can escalate VERY quickly so it's a good way to practice, especially CPs on Heroic.

Just 2 cents from someone who was there where you are.

[solemn acorn]

ok so i have to ask, whats a memento

[toxic cove]

its an exotic backpack that is pretty much the best PVE item in the game
