[sinful jasper]

How do I trade broken watches?

[hybrid ore]

eBay seems like a good place.

[unique bramble]

They are used to make exotic crafting materials

[hybrid ore]

For real, go to Inaya (crafting vendor lady) > buy all the BP's she has > check your crafting table and go down to "exotics", > then they're at the lower part of the list.

[alpine tiger]

is there targeted exotic in retaliation ?

[kind veldt]

kinda

each faction has a poll or exotics related ot them

[sinful jasper]

You were suppose to be able to trade them for other material

[hybrid ore]

You still can, just scroll through the menu.

[sinful jasper]

Ah thanks!

[frozen relic]

its the one 2nd from the bottom of that menu and the bottom is caches ny kill squad and reconstructed

[sinful jasper]

Not black Tusk material like I need it seems 🙁
My last item to upgrade is chest and I have like 100-500 of each material except black tusk

Did some settlement lockdowns, didnt get a single drop

[frozen relic]

black tusk isnt apart of retaliations

[vital aspen]

I have done all CPs in a zone, but it is still ‘invaded’. What to do to make it ‘friendly’v

[sterile ferry]

Did you finish the invaded missions/stronghold in that area?

[vital aspen]

Yes

[tiny oar]

they might become later, there is 1 currency that no other faction drop

[frozen relic]

which

[tiny oar]

automated turret

there is 5 factions excluding bt but 6 currency

so bt has to drop something i guess

[frozen relic]

would make more sense to why the "mercenary's" arent black tusk

[tiny oar]

which mercenary ?

[frozen relic]

the kill squads that have a chance to be mercenarys instead of the faction that retaliated

which are the underground so not a threat at all

[spare cove]

I do recall back in Y5S1 and Y5S2, Black Tusk took over control points as part of objectives to rescue the civvies

[tiny oar]

weird name for their currency then, but i faced a few of them, i dropped no currency

[frozen relic]

nah they dont drop anything other than blueprints

[tiny oar]

so, still no clue who drops that currency

[frozen relic]

i was saying bt being apart of retaliations would make more sense for them not being those mercenarys that the factions can call to kill us

sorry for making it confusing

[shrewd cosmos]

What do you guys do for quick grinding to initiate retaliations?

[tiny oar]

yeah i was thinking the same but they arent part of retaliation

[tiny oar]

missions/bounties/cp

[thin oasis]

Literally just play the game.,...

[tiny oar]

btw guys, u can xp your modifiers in shooting range x)

they forgot to disable it it seem

a classic, we love it

[sinful jasper]

Any map event seems to be about equal. Controls points take longer and gives more. I was att 99% and just killed a few random enemies and got to 100% (no objective)

[tiny oar]

how is that relevant to my message ?

[sinful jasper]

Is that working right now? Like granade kill.and everything?

[sinful jasper]

It absolutely is not, I relied to the wrong person 🤣

[tiny oar]

yes it works, +3xp per elite kill

[spare cove]

I'm not taking any chances, so I'll do it the Retaliation way.

[ebon ermine]

[fathom cloak]

For retaliation, when the event ends do the control points captured in the instance remain yours, or do they reset to whatever status they had prior to the initiation

[frozen relic]

They stay yours

[shrewd cosmos]

Which modifiers do you guys think are the best?

[rare vapor]

Sanitation

[shrewd cosmos]

How come?

[delicate walrus]

Retaliation on heroic is such a pain and is only an unfair fight against time and not against hard enemies. The control points in some areas are too far away that most of the time is using only for reaching the control points.

[unique bramble]

I don't even use them

[shrewd cosmos]

Lmao

[toxic lily]

Tmmr, our termoil and Lexington drop

[dry gate]

a few thoughts here, retaliation is really similar to how countdown is.. honestly you don't really need to play it on heroic.. you basically only get 16 more mats..

Challenging is 164 and Heroic is 180. You get pretty much same amount of kill squads, blueprint drops, rewards. The only minor difference is that heroic gives you a different material on completion Biohazard Canisters (for backpacks/gloves crafting/some weapons i.e. sweet dreams) vs Crystalized Spice (for masks/some weapons etc).. I've actually played both Heroic and Challenging since launch, I personally didn't notice much difference aside from ease of running challenging. So much quicker. I got about 2-3 blueprints usually per run on challenging just like on heroic.

There is a conversion as well and I only really play Heroic when I play with 3 more folks as a team. At 2 players or solo challenging is the fastest farm.

[hollow hill]

They drop on the 12th

Depending on your time zone, might be tomorrow for you. For me in US East, still 2 days out

[dry gate]

Sanitation for active, Ruper's Tear (s-tier passive), keep out, stepping stone.. Unfriendly Fire, Quicksand, Mismanagement are good but really only if you play that faction otherwise pretty niche.

though i haven't tried Zealot and Say Cheese actives.. they might be actually solid if you build into them..

[shrewd oak]

Damn these modifier tasks are brutal lol

I don't really want to go to an easier difficulty to get these signature named kills done. What spec did you guys use

[misty kayak]

i've completed journey 2 but still can't use the modifiers

[feral mural]

Have you gone into the menu and claimed rewards?

[delicate walrus]

Thx, I have already played with the idea. Make sense 🙂 Is there an option to play retaliation on a separate difficulty to the global difficulty as it works for countdown? As far I can see, that retaliation depends on the global always.

[dry drum]

can i get tinkerer rn ? or its gone ?

[devout elbow]

you can not get tinkerer right now

[spare cove]

Rupert's Tear

[valid sable]

In a week and a half you can do the mission again

[dry gate]

go to your journey screen and make sure you actually claimed the rewards on the bottom. It's X on PC not sure what it is on PS.

[dry gate]

Yes, it's tied to your current global difficulty setting. The best way to change it if you need to without resetting your control points is to go to Coney Island, and change difficulty there, then go back to DC

[wraith locust]

Unfair? Pain? Huh, I’m able to finish the entire mode in 8 minutes

[echo tapir]

can i get the bullet king from the countdown without having to new York dlc

[hollow hill]

I'm getting sub 7 minute clears

[hollow hill]

Pretty sure yes

[wraith locust]

Shush I’m trying not to gloat

[dry gate]

🙄

[hollow hill]

It's not really gloating tbh 😂

[wraith locust]

Let me rephrase, I’m not trying to start a fight lmfao

[hollow hill]

You mean start a retaliation?

[wraith locust]

If u say so lol

[hollow hill]

Honestly you could easily do retaliation with a memento striker build with mostly blue cores. Or a normal striker build with 2 blue cores and nimble holster

Cover will be your best friend in that mode and using nimble reinforces that

[dark flicker]

🤨

[brave apex]

tempest is no longer available for those of you who didn't get it HAHAHA

[gusty lotus]

is tipping scales only ment for pve? are there any pvp builds or is legmo better for pvp?

[dry gate]

judging by talent itself it's strongest counter to losing stacks is supressed enemies.. since you can't really "suppress" pvp players, I would say yeah, mostly tailored to PvE especially because of seasonal modifier that increases fire rate making it easier to use it (again which you don't have in pvp)..Also, I'm not a pvp player in Div 2 but I would also find it probably hard to ramp up the crit damage in close combat fights.

[hollow hill]

Until the 23rd

Say weren't you here last week saying you uninstalled? also when will we get insight into your build?

[brave apex]

yeah still uninstalled and successfully turned away 5 of my friends wanting to buy it

i'm making progress slowly but surely

[hollow hill]

Damn what a cause 🙏

So what's the point of being here if so? Genuinely curious

[tiny oar]

its def pve, there is no suppress status in pvp

[jagged prism]

lurking stalking status

[hollow hill]

"I'm basically only here so I can talk shit once every week or so"

[brave apex]

im a rogue agent

[hollow hill]

You don't even play lol

[brave apex]

irl

[dry gate]

judging by the discords he is a part of this is most likely accurate..

[wraith locust]

Mystic show us the build

[hollow hill]

Yes show us the build!

[hollow hill]

Thank God you remember 🙏 wonder if dorky remembers

[wraith locust]

Show us how dog water u are

[brave apex]

ill show you my johnson

[hollow hill]

Do it

[wraith locust]

If u can find it

[brave apex]

i cant

[hollow hill]

Just search up his recent message history here it'll tell you everything you need to know

[dry gate]

too much work.. not interested why 12 year old kids with issues do what they do 🙂

[hollow hill]

Who let Michael use the adult computer today 😧

[wraith locust]

[fathom cloak]

This proficiency event is nice

[dry gate]

I haven't really taken advantage of it.. is it really just benefiting the profiency buff if you play with the items on you?

[hollow hill]

My expertise 30 kicking back having a grand old time:

[wraith locust]

[fathom cloak]

As far as I know, yes. But I haven't paid too much attention to the gains when feeding junk items in.

And... idk, even if I had expertise 30 I'd still take advantage of it, because having expertise 30 and having max proficiency with every item in the game are two separate goals.

[hollow hill]

I'll be honest, without the old watch mules, the grind isn't worth it unless you play PvP

[fathom cloak]

The watch mule thing wouldn't have been it for me even if I was playing when you could. But I'm sure that's a dead horse and half since you can't do it anymore so I shall leave it at that. lol

[wraith locust]

@brave apex take notes

[hollow hill]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[wraith locust]

Insert big grin here

[hollow hill]

We still have yet to get the build btw. I've been waiting for over a month

[full zinc]

Just ignore. Problems always work themselves out 😎

[full zinc]

And its not appropriate to be reading about someone's little johnson. Save that shit for pm

[hollow hill]

That's crazy 😂

I needed that laugh thank you local 😂🙏

"little" 😂😂😂

[full zinc]

We all gonna have a nice gaming day, stay classy agents

[hollow hill]

You'll love retaliation, trust 🤞

[full zinc]

I'm sure i will. I'm all go anyways so it's gonna be a good fit. I need to make 3 more pesti builds this weekend

[dry gate]

I'm really enjoying retaliation.. I think the game needed something in the open world.. and this is really nice addition

[spare cove]

I only played it like 5 times, and I wanna play more simply for the gameplay

[dry gate]

and it always makes sense to play it for mats and stuff.. not to mention the HC crafting exotics benefit too

[hollow hill]

The reconstruction caches were a genius addition 🤌

[brazen copper]

I need help. Recently started playing and I’m trying to do the legacy manhunt for the Manager. Do I have to complete all of the scout missions before doing it?

[dry gate]

that too.. my god that was the most exciting part for me

[hollow hill]

Unable to be played rn

[full zinc]

Nice . I just been hearing positives so looking forward to hopping on

[brazen copper]

Ah. What happened?

[hollow hill]

Tempest pistol is being rewarded instead of Tinkerer

[jagged prism]

just blinded closed the window that explained it was down until the 23rd did we?

[brazen copper]

Well shoot. Thanks for the update

[cold dawn]

Seems td2 more active than td1

[hollow hill]

It's the new pistol this season . Unintended bug. It'll re-open on the 23rd this month

[dry gate]

oh shit..i'm digging the red eye helmet!!!

[jagged prism]

and we get a new exotic

now we need good armor to put it on and make us look like robocop!

[dry gate]

I'm digging it!

[jagged prism]

but thanks for that reminder. forgot i bought it. was on thorn hunter mask

[dry gate]

I just finished playing everything in Ghost Recon Breakpoint.. got the right vibes

[cold dawn]

Breakpoint was a great time

[dry gate]

fantastic game.. I just finished conquest fully.. story and conquest was a blast

[jagged prism]

i can't wait until the geniuses here break the Tipping Scale build

[cold dawn]

My buddy and I did it all milsim like. Turned off the hud etc it was so good

[dry gate]

I think I'll replay it again at some point with immersion mode on

I haven't really tried Operation Ember Sky.. not sure what that is

[cold dawn]

The spartan mod is also a blast if you want nitty gritty. Been enjoying td1 just wish I could find people to run with td2 seems more active lol

[dry gate]

anyways.. probably more of a discussion for off-topic channel

but the red eye helmet gives me the breakpoint vibes for sure 🙂 looks dope

[cold dawn]

Solid solid expansion worth. And fair it is off topic lol

[gusty swallow]

is anyone gaining season pass xp for completing retaliations?

[digital hatch]

Did they disable the manager mission ?

[gusty swallow]

Yes

[digital hatch]

Oh god now we gotta wait 3 years again anyways .Thanks

[shrewd cosmos]

It seems harder to keep my control points. What the heck?

I do a mission and all of a sudden my buff is down because a control point was recaptured.

[jagged prism]

so dramatic for 1 and half week wait to run manager for the tinkerer mask

[quick dagger]

Anyone know how to gain 50 stacks of Spiced Up?

[fathom harbor]

why my server down ?

[brave apex]

because it's ubisoft, what'd you expect

[fathom harbor]

but other people are still in

[dark flicker]

Nobody know how it work

We just relog lol

[lunar hare]

your nickname says what you should do instead.

[calm bluff]

What do they mean by "a drop rate upon reaching Level 100 in the Summit" - that it goes into the pool if you cleared level 100, or there's a chance you'll get it on level 100, or you will get it on clearing level 100, or something else?

[lunar hare]

we know the same

[alpine tiger]

What pvp face tank meta build for iron lung now ?

[kind veldt]

probably better ask that in #td2-pvp-discussions

[shrewd cosmos]

Ive been trying to search the retaliation area for all three kill squads but ran out of time twice now. I think I'll stick to two squads and then just complete it.

It doesn't make sense to me, I searched the whole area and only found 2. So I'm still not sure if it is a location based spawn or just a random spawn chance as you move around.

[rare vapor]

Rofl. Tempest pisto has broken damage haha.

[shrewd cosmos]

Dang, really? Talent looked bad

[rare vapor]

Day one Ouroboros dejavu

Ouroboros also has garbage talent, but its all about raw damage dps

[shrewd cosmos]

What build are you using with it?

[rare vapor]

typical brand pisto build

2 second kill a heroic warhoud i was like what the f

[calm bluff]

When you got it, were you able to get the recalibration BP as well?

[rare vapor]

no, no one did

you gota stick to whatever minor you got

[fathom harbor]

why i cant play the game, why ubisoft hates me

[willow solstice]

has the game been unstable since the update for anyone else? constant crashes is annoying

[shrewd cosmos]

Yes. Sometimes graphics don't fully load either so I get polygon faces on PS5. I also got booted to start of master mission when I tried it yesterday because of delta

[willow solstice]

sadge. I had 5 crashes alone yesterday. hopefully it gets better

[spare cove]

Did you update your GPU driver?

[tired canyon]

Hello guys , is it a bug that all my outfits are away

[fathom haven]

these zealot journey missions are arse...how the eff are you supposed to keep it active for 35 seconds

There aren't enough f'n hostile

[jagged prism]

try capital building?

[fathom harbor]

anyone else having DELTA-1 issue ?

[stuck hedge]

I dont get why they would change the way you get the tempest this way. as far as I see it, the summit already has an exclusive exotic item (ridgeways pride). why not make it a part of retaliation? there are no special items for that, and it'd be cool to get a chance fori t to drop as a blueprint from there. it would also push people to actively do them more than just for the novelty of it being new

[willow solstice]

oh my gpu drivers are a year old. Lets see if that helps lmao. For some reason I thought they were at most 6 months old

[jagged prism]

well, it was supposed to be in a this seasons climax season. putting it in summit was probably just a last minute quick decision, rather than making the people who hasn't gotten it in manger to wait 3 months to finally get it

[stuck hedge]

well yeah, but people already have a reason to play summit. all you're doing then is pushing more people away from doing retaliation where the smart thing would be to push more people to do retaliation

[hybrid ore]

soul' is right, it's a way to help mitigate the people complaining about the folks who got it via the unintentional drop.
It's a good middle-ground.

Summit has no purpose once you've completed the Ridgeways Pride project.
Countdown has better loot farming, Bighorn is obtainable via Legendary missions/DZ, and Ridgeways only really needs what, 2 completions in total.

[jagged prism]

capacitor is what 2 summit challenges or something?

[hybrid ore]

5, which is basically none yeah.

[stuck hedge]

yes, but ridgeways pride is an exotic that is exclusive to playing summit, whereas retaliation just doesnt have anything at all. i figured that if you were gonna release a part of the game where you can explicitly farm exotic and named blueprints that you'd at least give it some special ones that you cant do either by playing descent (for the reconstructed caches) or by playing countdown/summit (for just getting an exotic rather than the blueprint for it)

[hybrid ore]

Actually Ridgeways is even faster, since you can get a taxi to 100 that first time.

Retal' has loads of exotic blueprints that are exclusive to it, plus you can farm out Reconstructed Caches via the mode.

[jagged prism]

who knows whatelse they have in mind for retaliation. maybe they'll be giving us something in it

[stuck hedge]

there is not a single exotic in retaliation that you cant get either by playing countdown or by playing specific missions

[hybrid ore]

You do know how the Retal' Exo BP's work, right?

They don't require exo comps to craft.the base Exotic. They are not the same as the regular game.

[jagged prism]

would you rather countdown until your eyes bleed looking for a specific exotic or maybe 10ish retaliations to get a blueprint for that exact item then craft it?

[hybrid ore]

and even if you don't need any, Retal' is still worth farming for the Reconstructed Caches, as your other choice for those is Descent, and a LOT of Descent.

[undone timber]

Retaliation gives reconstructed caches?

[stuck hedge]

either of them are just rolling the dice, but i dont want to argue about my point, i just figured that it made more sense to put it into retaliation. just throwing my opinion in the ring, so to speak

[hybrid ore]

You can craft them via materials gained in there, "7 broken SHD watches". It's insanely quick to get 1, and it stacks, since you craft 5 Watches at once.

[undone timber]

Now we're talking hehe

[shrewd cosmos]

Is it really that quick?

Wouldn't nemesis farm be faster?

[undone timber]

Getting to nemesis is like around 20 mins

[small spear]

for 50% chance at one

[hybrid ore]

Nemesis requires you to play Descent, which according to plenty of people on here I see, is the same as pulling teeth whilst watching paint dry.
the sheer amount of salt involved in the Descent mode means that any other method to get them is worth it.

[jagged prism]

mostly i think because the random perks every 3 days

[spare cove]

That too.

[hybrid ore]

It's been a while since I've run Nemesis for these, but do the Decsent Reconstructed Caches give 2 blueprints?

[small spear]

each one gives 1

[eager talon]

Nemesis, the sniper rifle?

[jagged prism]

no the boss in Descent game mode

[hybrid ore]

I got 2 from the Retal one.
new reliable and boomstick.

[jagged prism]

trust me i was thinking the same thing "when did they move the nemesis sniper into descent" and was like wait nemesis the boss duh hangs head in shame

[small spear]

a cache has a named item and a blueprint. they're not necessarily the same

think of them as a named item cache that also contains a blueprint for a named item

[shrewd cosmos]

It's just that seven broken watches is seven retaliation runs right? Do you get enough mats to actually craft them?

[undone timber]

The only decent thing I've gotten out of them so far is backbone

[hybrid ore]

It's not 7 runs.

The fastest farm I've found for them so far is to well.....the more things change the more they stay the same in div2.
Lincoln runs.

The queen of speed running missions is back, baby!

[spare cove]

Farming Lincoln feels like it'd already crack whatever sanity I have left

[shrewd cosmos]

When you craft a broken watch does it only give 1?

[hybrid ore]

Lincoln Heroic farms used to be our Countdown.
which goes to show you how insane the older playerbase really was.

[fathom haven]

Who has completed Keep Zealot active for 35 seconds 5x ?

[jagged prism]

hides the 00/05 status on screen

[hybrid ore]

I'm sure it's 5, but gimme a sec to check.

[spare cove]

Definitely not me

[hybrid ore]

im going to abuse my image permissions for a good cause.

[jagged prism]

resist the urge

[fathom haven]

It seems so impossible. These Journey missions are way more insasne than the prior seaons

[quiet mauve]

Ik a lot of people aren’t a fan of DV2 Pahkan but it’s been going hard asf with Tipping point for me. Anyone else tried it by chance?

Tipping Scales*** idk why I said that

[hybrid ore]

If dv2 means div2 there, I don't think you need to add that part lol.

"i enjoy the dv2 div2 game" kinda feel.

[quiet mauve]

Wut?

[hybrid ore]

Exactly.

okay figured it out, I'm sure it's 5, but I don't have enough faction mats right now to craft a new one, buuuuut the reverse craft requires 5 SHD watches, so it would make sense for it to be an even trade.

[quiet mauve]

I asked a question. Any thoughts?

[jagged prism]

Thoughts on "wut?" #td2-general-chat message

[undone timber]

Not really, tipping scales is just a good set

[quiet mauve]

Like I said I know it’s been unpopular compared to DV1 but still. It’s been shredding like no other for me man

I do agree. Set is good asf tbf. Everything runs really good with it

[hybrid ore]

You really don't need to clarify, div1 and div2 are unrelated games as far as gear goes.

[quiet mauve]

In dv1 it was pretty desireable, in 2, not as much as far as I’ve seen.

[undone timber]

Everything gear wise they took inspiration from div1 performs completely different in div 2

Makes not much sense to compare

[quiet mauve]

I’m not talking about stats. Talking about usage

Popularity

Yall are like pointing way away from the basis of what I’m saying. Like speaking gibberish when im just asking a basic question that’s pretty easy to comprehend the meaning of. But, aight.

[undone timber]

You answered your question in your first statement lol, it's not popular

[quiet mauve]

Asked if anyone’s been using it with tipping point. Didn’t ask if it was popular. Was an observation for the idea of popularity. So

Yall keep doing you though.

[undone timber]

👍

[full zinc]

already caught myself doing the same thing 😂

[spare cove]

I have a better idea. Why not call it Scales Tip?

[wispy willow]

anybody wanna stack summit

[jagged prism]

getting distracted. anyway to see our agitation meter without being in retaliations?

[exotic crane]

legendary?

[wispy willow]

yes

only floor10 tryna get bighorn

[crimson sierra]

ive done all my theater settlement missions but im still only 3/4 and I can’t recruit the firing range guy, how do I fix this?

[zinc bison]

i just opened 4 summer swarm caches and got the same weapon skin, but a diffrent name 4 times now, wtf is going on. It's just the warrior wasp skin, but now i have it named as solis, amaru, lion and deimos. I got all the cosmetics a long time ago,

[crimson sierra]

i’ll join up

[wispy willow]

whats your lvl ?

[crimson sierra]

103
i don’t have a very good build for legendary though i just want to get my bighorn

kinda just struggling doing it solo but 2 is better than 1

[wispy willow]

wd@exotic cranewhats your lvl

[exotic crane]

3033

[fathom harbor]

LET ME IN

[lunar hare]

ayo

[bleak copper]

Hey everyone. Been debating on getting Battle for Brooklyn but have heard a lot of mixed reviews. What are your thoughts?

[dry pike]

For the money you spend on the dlc I'd say is worth it but that's just my opinion

[cyan musk]

just got rav and omg this gun is insane

is there a way to give an enemy infinite hp?

found it

[hybrid ore]

@wispy willow That tag doesn't work, and if it did, you would've just tagged 135, 000 people.

If you want to LFG for Summit, head on down to #lfg-pc GL Agent

[shrewd cosmos]

No one is matchmaking Theo master so I called for backup. Dude left after he saw it was Theo master lol.

[cyan musk]

servers can get that big? I thought there was a 20k member cap

[hybrid ore]

Yeah servers can get pretty large.
the size may have something to do with boosts, but this is an official server so

[thin oasis]

Max is 100k, then you ask to have it raised.

Max they allow is 500,000

For verifies official and partnered servers you can have a 10m cap

[cyan musk]

genuinely curious has any server reached either of those caps?

500k and 10m

[thin oasis]

Midjourney has over 10m afaik

Yep just looked, over 20m

[cyan musk]

jesus

[blazing citrus]

My condolences to the mods

[cyan musk]

what even is midjourney?

I've literally never heard of it

[thin oasis]

Its an AI program for text to image

[cyan musk]

sounds stupid

[fluid meadow]

gah is grinding retaliation your best bet in making your time worthwhile?

[hybrid ore]

It is!

[pliant sentinel]

retaliation fun af

[eager talon]

Does anyone know how much xp does completing a CP4 or Retaliation give to the active modifiers?

[pliant sentinel]

pande lemme give u a chart

[eager talon]

Thanks you, Agent!

[pliant sentinel]

dont thank me i found it on twitter

[eager talon]

Are you sending it via DM?

[pliant sentinel]

yeah

[blazing citrus]

Send it on #ask-td2-community so you can refer back to it

[shrewd oak]

Tbf that mission is not for the faint of heart lol

I'd rather mm legendaries ngl

[hybrid ore]

Fun fact: if you answer a call-for-backup for it, it insists that it is Legendary.

Same goes for the other Master difficulty missions.

[plush agate]

What’s the drop chance for tempest on summit floor 100?

Wasn’t a big fan people could get tempest from the bug but can’t complain now I suppose

[dry gate]

I kind of wondered.. what makes that Theo mission so hard? i've heard this for a few people?

i think it's the only hunt I haven't done

[elfin hazel]

it was the first one and the spawns are really badly placed in some spots

[elfin hazel]

no clue until the 23rd

[dry gate]

from what I gathered that's when they introduced modifiers too so they are not great either?

[cold narwhal]

Is there a reason like 75% of the weapon drops I get have reformation as a talent? 🤣

[plush agate]

this season's climax mission still gonna give us the tempest right?

[shrewd cosmos]

I agree, it is crazy hard. Next three backup calls stuck around and we knocked it out. Time to figure out how to have fun with his armor lol

[opaque lion]

Foggy Bottom got invaded 6 times in a row by every faction in Washington now lol

[jagged prism]

they all like them foggy bottoms

[shrewd cosmos]

I don't like that one. Annoying to navigate.

[small spear]

cancer modifiers, cancer fights, has mechanics, the last stage with mechanics can wipe if failed too many times

[jagged prism]

if you're talking about theo climax for the first modifiers. you'd be correct

[stuck hedge]

where can i report a pretty serious glitch?

[jagged prism]

i want to say division 2 forum?

[stuck hedge]

its the sort of thing i dont want to give out, as cheaters in dz would have a field day with it

and that place is bad enough already 😭

[dapper atlas]

Ubisoft Support

[hybrid ore]

The ubisoft support discord might be a good place too, you can find a link over at the top of #rules

[stuck hedge]

false alarm! turns out i am a man of unremarkable intellect 😎

[sterile ferry]

What even happened lol

[sour trail]

Did I read a new gear set in the patch notes? Can’t seem to find the notes now. Any ideas how to get said gear set? Thanks.

[sterile ferry]

New gearset is Tipping Scales. You can farm it using targeted loot

[stuck hedge]

tipping scales - based around lmgs what i can see. increased weapon handling and chd for weapon hits, +30% magazine size and 30% lmg damage. id assume you can countdown/ summit it

[sour trail]

Thanks both 👍. Shall start my search for it!

[stuck hedge]

rolled out of bed, checked vendors, bought the amount of items id need to max out proficiency. found that id used ~7 where id usually need 20. put some printer filament into other stuff, found that itd give me 3x what i would normally recieve. brain went “holy moly thats a bug bug” and then was kindly told by @dapper atlas that theres a proficiency xp event going on. tldr i cant read

[sterile ferry]

Oh shit there is?

Could have used that 3 years ago :/

[thick yarrow]

well at least the devs were actually fair this time by disabling the climax mission but letting anyone with the the tempest keep it

[stuck hedge]

you can now attain it from the summit and there will be a new climax weapon drop

[thick yarrow]

on the 23rd

we'll be able to get it from summit level 100 on the 23rd

[stuck hedge]

i thought you could already attain the weapon from the summit? or am i having another “cant read” issue again

[thick yarrow]

check the known issues

[hybrid ore]

Where does it say that there will be a brand new Exotic dropping during the Climax Mission?

[thick yarrow]

it just says additional reward

[hybrid ore]

It says "extra reward". It doesn't say "new exotic".

It could be a backpack trophy.

Hell, it could even be the Lexington Veteran Skins.

[stuck hedge]

it could be 5 reciever parts but i choose to believe that they would be kind enough to unvault some new ideas for the game

[hybrid ore]

Unvault new ideas is the wrongest sentence I've ever read.

[thick yarrow]

at least tomorrow i will get the lexington but not turmoil which im fine with

[drifting shale]

I noticed somie issues with Zealot. The explosion CAN actually kill you rather than leave you at 1 hp. What's that all about?

[hybrid ore]

@stuck hedge What you choose to believe is not information you should be spreading around as fact.
Let's keep it literal in the future.

[thin oasis]

I hope its a joke Version of the tempest 🤣

[thick yarrow]

the new lmg in the game? the gr9

also i hope on the 23rd they fix the tipping scales bug

[thin oasis]

Thats not new, been in the game 3 years

[hybrid ore]

*The gr9 is not a recent addition to div2.

[thick yarrow]

wait it is?

[hybrid ore]

2022, yep.
May IIRC.

[drifting shale]

The Explosion from the Zealot active modifier keeps killing me for some reason.

[thick yarrow]

i hope the tipping scales gear set also gets fixed with its current bug

[thin oasis]

Title update 15, May 2022...that AI brain is good 👍

[jagged prism]

that's what it does. you're the epicenter of that emp blast

[grim pumice]

Why they ain’t fix the tinkerer glitch ??
Can somebody please explain me this

[drifting shale]

It's suppose to reduce you to 1hp, not outright mulch you

[eager talon]

What bug is this?

[jagged prism]

facepalm

[thick yarrow]

stacks reset on reload

[drifting shale]

Am I honestly missing something? It does read that it leaves you at 1hp

Meaning you shouldn't be killed outright by it

[jagged prism]

yes, and you're the epicenter of the EMP blast. if you're dying it's because you're getting hit by something. i've ran it a bunch of times and not die by it

[hybrid ore]

I think this is the first canonical case of "skill issue" being relevant.

[spare cove]

Also, IIRC, you regain some armor if the explosion hits the enemy.

[drifting shale]

So I guess you want to be somewhere safe when the explosion goes off so you don't get killed by the extra chip damage

[eager talon]

Thanks, I didnt notice this coz I only ever used bullet king ( for the memes)

[jagged prism]

yes, yes it does

[drifting shale]

Funny story. I was doing a bounty, popped Zealot, killed a bunch of enemies and died with the explosion

I both died and completed the bounty. The explosion finished off the bounty target and I was confused as hell

[jagged prism]

if you were bleeding or set on fire after that explosion you'll definitely die. especially if you don't hit anyone with that blast

[drifting shale]

That's the thing. I wasn't under any status effects and the explosion actually wiped out like 5 enemies along with myself

[feral mural]

Puts you in 1 hp

[hybrid ore]

You weren't next to an explosive barrel, by any chance?

[drifting shale]

I was in a safe location when i died

[hybrid ore]

I mean, you had enemies nearby. Not super safe.

It's likely one of them got a shot off. It doesn't take much.

[drifting shale]

I guess I just need to be more careful using Zealot then 🤷

[hybrid ore]

Since it's an Outcast perk, I'm going to assume that you got green poison and died.

[drifting shale]

Ironically it's the one that emphasizes somewhat cautious play the most

[tender wave]

You're not the only one reporting this. Were you running memento or another source of temporary bonus armour?

[drifting shale]

No.

No sources of bonus armour. The explosion killed me and the last remaining enemies in a bounty, completeting it despite me being dead.

[tender wave]

Someone reported it over on the support discord, you could get a vid of it happening to you and add to that thread, give them more info to work on

[drifting shale]

So... uhhh skill issue but i don't have any means of recording it...

[hybrid ore]

Do you have an AMD or nVidia graphics card?

they come with capture software.

[drifting shale]

I have an RTX 2070 super

[jagged prism]

pretty sure windows has that snipping software that can record videos too doesn't it?

if you got the AMD Adrenaline software running "ALT + R" opens the menu for it and there'll be a button to "start recording"

[hybrid ore]

oh my old card, good little piece of tech that one.
yeah "geforce experience" (that name makes me physically uncomfortable) should have it.
not sure about snipping tool, that's a new feature I'm guessing.

[jagged prism]

oh not amd. disregard me. i read RTX and though a form of AMD card

[hybrid ore]

yep i can confirm, snpping tool has recording now.

[jagged prism]

probably a little more than pressing a key to initiate it?

oh not bad. "Windows Key + Shift + R"

[hybrid ore]

i like using the old icon pinned, feels way more me.

The best part about Retal' so far for me, was the 3 random outcasts standing around during a Hyena Retal', who did not aggro until I physically walked up to them, and seemed very confused to be there.

It felt like when you walk backstage during a play, and the actors are just standing around in costume.

[drifting shale]

I gotta say retal is pretty fun

[fluid meadow]

i like that retal enemies can spawn outside of retal's area and i have to kill them on a timer to not have to tp...
-# i wanna die

[thick yarrow]

tipping scales is actually a good gear set

and i am doing this on challenging since im not strong enough for heroic

[spare cove]

The stacks loss feel a bit overkill.

Unless the intention is to keep firing at enemies non-stop

[blazing citrus]

Bullet king was built for this

[thick yarrow]

im still waiting ok ikia's tipping scales build

[alpine tiger]

Is modifiers apply to pvp ?

[spare cove]

No

[jagged prism]

could you imagine the chaos if it did?
you'd either get set on fire by sanitation or you die by zealot emp

btw: any know if sanitation can be spead by creeping death or ep?

[opaque lion]

since it's a status effect it should just work

[dull cypress]

if i logout and login during a retaliation do i lose the progress

[jagged prism]

probably

[dull cypress]

game is in a lag like state where i can move but nothing else is lol

[opaque lion]

got server lagged yesterday, logged out and automatically failed the run

[dull cypress]

ah unfortunate

[loud fox]

i dc'd at the final CP of a retaliation last night and the only reason i didn't fail it is because i had a friend with me. he was getting picked up by his hive as i managed to log back in lol

[remote pecan]

I hope we get the Tempest reconfigure blueprint on 23rd, too.
It's been reported on the PTS, they keep forgetting adding stuff like that.

[covert horizon]

I forgot how they do old season-exotics. I never got around to finishing last seasons Master mission (ran out of ammo with my build and then got busy etc) ... is there a way to get that alpha-bridge mask exotic now? I'm guessing no, since it's not likely to hit the general pool is it? And with the old climax mission now disabled, I guess not for now? 🙂

[spare cove]

Just wait till September 23rd

[covert horizon]

Oh right, that's not far, nevermind then. Once it's back I should be able to just work on that Master-difficulty for the sureshot right?

[thin oasis]

Its disabled because its bugged

[covert horizon]

Yes, read it dropped the Tempest (oops). I'm just not sure you can still get the mask doing the old climax mission after the season ended.

[humble viper]

is the capacitor a random drop in like summit or countdown?

[covert horizon]

Originally through the Summit challenges. But you can get it randomly in caches too if I'm not mistaken.

[thin oasis]

The mask will always be available specifically from that mission

[covert horizon]

Sweet, thanks. I can work on it when they fix the bug then. Thank you.

[thin oasis]

You need to first get the Capacitor from summit by completing 5 challenges.

After that it enters the gen pool

[humble viper]

so its a sure way to get if completing summit challenges?

[covert horizon]

You should be. Go to the summit and look at the challenges and there should be reward there for it if you never got it before.

[covert horizon]

I'm used to the old method of it hitting the general pool after. Will you be able to get multiple masks, or is it just until you get it once (through Master sureshot or lucky low-tier difficulties)?

[thin oasis]

You can get it as many times as you want, but its only available from that mission. And its only guaranteed from the first master completion on that character

Normally the exotics in the season pass are the ones that enter gen pool after the season ends (Iron Lung etc) mission rewards will normally stay that way.

[cinder nacelle]

Is there another reasonable expertise farm after you have maxed proficiency on all gear sets and brands?

[tender wave]

Farm and donate regular weapons, buy and donate named items

[cinder nacelle]

Okay cool. Hmmm... there don't seem to be many weapons I haven't max out yet. I guess worst case I break them down for materials and do it that way. I think my biggest gap is the random named items.

Also does anyone know why Yaarl gear is not available for targeted loot or am I just going crazy and not seeing it?

[remote pecan]

Yaahl = DZ exclusive, that's why

[fair lake]

does difficulty affect Retaliation Blueprints drop rate? I did about 6-7 successful overtakes on Challenging and got only 1 blueprint (I check which faction has which, so it's not the case when I'm out of them)

[tender wave]

It's never targeted in the dz though either

[remote pecan]

yes -> #ask-td2-community message
also each faction has it's own set of blueprints

[toxic lily]

You can get the Yaahl in pvp. Lose or win, you'll still get the cache

[cinder nacelle]

Ah boo. That explains why I have 0 proficiency for it then. Thanks.

[remote pecan]

sometimes you can buy it at the clan vendor

[toxic lily]

If they sell it

[fair lake]

thanks a lot 👍

[lime fulcrum]

do we get our named items by 12sept?! the kneepad one.

[obsidian sapphire]

The active modifiers leveling being per character dependant seems an oversight, as the Journey is not.

It should be account wide

[remote pecan]

Journey wasn't account wide at the beginning 😄

[obsidian sapphire]

It is now, for the same reasons modifier levels should be too!

[remote pecan]

Sure. Not against that, just wanted to explain why it might be.

[obsidian sapphire]

Indeed, seems an odd choice, maybe an oversight. I dont really want to level Say Cheese 4 times, seems a bit pointless.

[remote pecan]

Nah, tbh Massive has this history of oversights, it's a common thing.

[fluid meadow]

and that's why 1 main and 3 mules is the way to go

[obsidian sapphire]

I dont like to be limited to 16 loadouts, so I like to play various chars with various themed loadouts etc.

keep its interesting to me at least.

[wise basalt]

do u need to equip the modifier for it to count in retaliation? so if i do a hyena retaliation, i can still lvl up spiced up modifier without needing to have it equipped?

[obsidian sapphire]

Retal is pretty okay, needs to be targeted loot for the vets to have a reason to do it though

[fluid meadow]

i say make the area you procced the retaliation in to be the area that will be contested
makes the targeted loot more controlled instead of random

[remote pecan]

Yep, same and there are still a lot of issues with it, no shared skills blueprint for example, you need to unlock them on each character.
Specialization is another thing, they could probably do account wide in combination with expertise make the specialization weapons level account wide like skills.
I probably can write a whole list.

[brazen copper]

What is the best way to obtain the Coyote mask? Is there a dedicated drop or just do countdown with masks on?

[fluid meadow]

-# and it kinda makes sense cause they're contesting a spot you took

[obsidian sapphire]

yeh this is more interesting than just clicking a loot icon like in summit, at least you can plan for the retal proc by fighting in the zone with the loot you want, then it procs for that zone

[fluid meadow]

if you want a surefire way without having to rely on rng do heynas retaliation

[brazen copper]

Thank you

[fluid meadow]

get blueprint and the material and craft it

[remote pecan]

Jefferson Trade Center is the mission you're looking for, if you want to do it the old way.

[brazen copper]

Is there a certain difficulty?

[fluid meadow]

which i am currently doing now
i love guaranteed exotics :D

[remote pecan]

the higher the better the chances are

[obsidian sapphire]

thinking about it now though, a summit-like targeted loot system (choosing on the retal load screen) would be better than the zone proc idea. As otherwise you would need to farm one zone only for that day, assuming you could get the proc to happen again and again in that zone with bounties (limited) and events (low when its green) so you would have to keep resetting the map.

[remote pecan]

yea TL would be a nice addition to retaliation

[brazen copper]

Another question. Since the manager mission is down, is there any other way to get Tinkerer?

[quick dagger]

Nope, it's only available in the mission

[brazen copper]

Darn

Thanks for the info. I haven’t played since 2021 so a lot of this stuff is new lol

[blazing citrus]

So the climax mission specific exotics are only available through their relevant mission

Normal clears have an rng chance.
Master clears give the exotic guaranteed for the first clear and then its back to rng.
Iirc the climax missions use the seasonal modifiers for their own season.

[brazen copper]

Other than the tinkerer are there other mission specific exotics?

[blazing citrus]

Tinkerers, provocoter, birdies quick fix pack.

Those are the ones that come to mind that are already out

[ancient verge]

I just unlocked a bag pack trophy called arm patch and dog tags ?

[blazing citrus]

There is also the full auto pistol but it was bugged with the manager climax mission (the one for tinkerers) to where it could drop. Thus the manager has been disabled and iirc on the 23rd theyre adding the ability to get the full auto pistol through rng on floor 100 of summit which is a new but necessary change (people will complain)

[ancient verge]

Idk how I got it which is confusing me

[blazing citrus]

But i have heard people say that the devs said that they will change the climax mission for this season to give some more loot so people still have a reason to play it besides story

[echo tapir]

is it possible to get the bullet king from summit without the the new York dlc

[blazing citrus]

"Arm Patch & Dog Tags - Upon defeating Antwon Ridgeway via the True Sons version of the Capitol Building stronghold, there is a chance for this trophy to drop from his corpse: Arm Patch & Dog Tags."

[ancient verge]

Ah ok thank you I was very confused as it’s not the first time I’ve ran the mission lol

[umbral dock]

yeah i have bullet king and i don’t have wony

think i got it from a cache

[cold narwhal]

Oh man, the joke that division fans are dads or moms who like spreadsheets has become literal with these modifiers 🤣

[valid sable]

Joke?

[cold narwhal]

😭

[fluid meadow]

Sanitation is the best if you just want benefits without really having to read anything

Activate and wow i am a lot better

[echo tapir]

thx for clarifying that

[cold narwhal]

Advanced materiel is basically tip of the spear, trying it now

[tawdry token]

Having issues replaying legacy mission the manager, mission won't start

[hybrid ore]

@tawdry token It's been disabled for now, due to a bug.

[tawdry token]

Ah ok ty

[cinder nacelle]

Just threw something together with Tipping Scales + Obliterate + Tinkerer + Strained and it seems pretty great. 👍 Thinking maybe a talent to speed up the reload for the secondary.

[fluid meadow]

strained doesn't sound great because you already get ludicrous amounts of chd

[cinder nacelle]

It's not capped though, is it?

[fluid meadow]

it isn't but to keep building into it only results in diminishing returns

[cinder nacelle]

How so? I'm not stuck on it or anything. Could do Unhinged as well for a flat damage boost. Just wondering.

[fluid meadow]

flat weapon damage is also unimpressive if you run full red so use stuff like measured/frenzy even ranger

[unique bramble]

Fun fact, they changed the starting screen when you boot up the game.

[cinder nacelle]

Ranger? I stopped using that ages ago. By the time you get to decent damage increase it's cancelled out by the fall off over distance isn't it? Better to use the weapon in the correct range.

Unhinged is 18%. To get similar damage buff from Ranger you would need to be at >34m by which time you would already be getting damage fall-off due to distance on an LMG. Not to mention Unhinged is giving you the full 18% all the way over that initial range. Unless my maths is wrong (which is highly possible) or I am missing something. 😟

Frenzy buff is 9 seconds and you could easily lose half or even all of that on target acquisition in some cases. Then the rest of your magazine is unbuffed.

[fluid meadow]

ranger is amp while unhinged is added to WD. ranger will not need that much range to surpass unhinged's effectiveness
frenzy is great while using mg5 or negev cause the time to deplete mag is under the frenzy duration so you can reliably upkeep it

[quick dagger]

One of the first things I noticed booting up the game yesterday. Small but cool change imo

[spare cove]

BTW, for anyone interested, Hooded Rogue Kelso bundle is available for 5 days

[cinder nacelle]

So, Ranger is "amplified weapon damage", Unhinged is "+ weapon damage" and Frenzy is "gain +weapon damage". Are you saying these are calculated differently? 😟

I don't think Frenzy would be good for an LMG in any case because they tend to have big magazines.

[tired field]

I feel attacked..

[fluid meadow]

pretty sure unhinged and frenzy are both only WD
and frenzy is actually very great with big mags because it scales off of that

but not too big (gr9) cause frenzy will end before the mag is depleted

[tender wave]

#td2-build-advice message
Guide to how the damage calculations work

Main thing to note is that you get diminishing returns from stacking one damage type really high, it's generally best to have a mix of different ones

[small spear]

it's worth learning how the different damage multipliers work in this game

[cinder nacelle]

Ah thanks for this 🙏. First I'm seeing of this in all thse years ha ha.

I knew about things like DTOC and stuff being calculated separately but I didn't know weapon damage bonuses from talents also came in different flavours.

[valid sable]

Good morning! On that note, what is your veredict of the most convenient piece for Tipping Scales? Contractor's (LMG+damage to armor) or Fox's Kneepads (DTTOOC)? My gut feeling says it's Contractors because 2 is bigger than 1 lol

[dark flicker]

I just copy paste builds and see if i like it xD

[small spear]

i tried both experimentally. contractor feels a lot better for me

[dark flicker]

Unless theres another good reason to learn them other than making your own builds

[fluid meadow]

math geeks say x is good i say x is good

[small spear]

numbers wise contractor also beats fox

[small spear]

precisely because you want to make your own builds as the primary reason, but also to fact check advice from other people

[dark flicker]

True

[undone timber]

Throw on ninja dude you get so much more weapon damage

[valid sable]

imagine playing division 2 without learning from people that knows better... without the internet... I would think Ninjabike is the best exotic for sure

[fluid meadow]

only thing i was confident as to not ask anyone how good it is was the pistol build with imminence

[small spear]

we can only give so much general advice before the topic becomes esoteric and needs deeper investigation

[onyx rivet]

Made a bighorn pvp build with 200% headshot damage and 85k armor regen it ks amazing hahaha

[dark flicker]

Yeah lol. I definitely thought so too

[onyx rivet]

Well maybe it is the best exotic haha

[small spear]

not really aside from a few situations

[fluid meadow]

barely
for like 2 dz builds

[small spear]

the situations where a backpack talent really does not make a difference

[fervent cobalt]

Ninja + 5 piece 5.11 is the most underrated build. It is what all the speedrunners use, source trust me bro

[onyx rivet]

Source we al trust

[small spear]

i mean ninja + 5p improvised is better, you unlock literally every brand in the game

[fervent cobalt]

That is illegal sir lmao

[fluid meadow]

i think we're all forgetting about ninja with 3 umbra and 2 striker
truly the most build of all time

[hybrid ore]

You know what, I won't even argue that NBB makes 5 pieces of a brandset better.

then again, a brick to the face has the same effect.

[dark flicker]

Wat

[fervent cobalt]

Just need a way to equip 7 pieces of a brand/gearset and you become god

[fluid meadow]

[hybrid ore]

PvP is genuinely the only place where NBB even has a vaguely justified use.

[unique bramble]

Not a better way to use the third echelon outfit.

[hybrid ore]

If you aren't creeping up on someone in full green-tier outfits, then what are you even doing.

[cinder nacelle]

Yeah I'm not disputing those people may not know what they are doing ha ha.

[verbal gale]

I know this might be a dumb question but which tasks are the easiest for journey 2? I’m trying to get those modifiers so I can actually play the game lol

[tender wave]

They're all pretty easy tbh. The start of viewpoint on normal difficulty will let you get grenade kills quickly, the opening area of air and space on Story difficulty has 3 snipers you can farm, etc etc

If you run a determined headhunter build you'll get the assault headshot kills very easily, any tank can have the armour shot off them

[grave timber]

Yup

[grave timber]

Black tusk that's what I did shoot legs, gun belt, arms repeat, arms again, head, belt for backpack and chest and boom

[dark flicker]

Good advice thx. I hate these objectives but this should help a lot

[grave timber]

Yeah some of them are a pain but shouldn't be too hard

Now the season before last that was hard

[dark flicker]

Just not a fan of "having" to play on a lower difficulty. I like the last season ones where i got em done just by playing and not even paying attention to them

[grave timber]

It was like that

[dark flicker]

Ah, i started on crossroads

[radiant prism]

the most annoying journey task so far is the sniper headshot kills; farming black tusk activities seems the most efficient way so far as almost always there's one sniper in the group. The other factions rarely have snipers

[grave timber]

Oh your lucky it was a pain to do it you had a meter that kept going down each time you were not killing enemies fast to keeping the meter high with crits and you have to keep it there while it decreases sometimes for 3 minutes which was very hard and annoying

And they had 4 tiers of the meter and you have to keep it a specific tier for the journey

[dark flicker]

Damn, no time to chill

[dense anchor]

You can get a lot of these passively in Descent as well.

[grave timber]

That season journey was the most annoying objectives

[grave timber]

Yeah but you get it pretty fast if your lucky

[radiant prism]

I thought the modifiers are disabled in descent

[grave timber]

They are

[dense anchor]

The modifiers are, but I think you get credit for the tasks anywhere, including raids lol.

[grave timber]

But I think the journey still counts in descent

[radiant prism]

oh right, yeah was thinking of the spiced up journey tasks

[grave timber]

😮🤔 hmmmmmmm

[grave timber]

Oh that well just play on normal should be fast and use a lmg

[void pewter]

anyone encountered not being able to claim journey VIII even tho all previous are completed?

it says im missing journey II even tho i have it finished, tried relogging, nothing

[tiny oar]

anyone knows what the last new ressource ? the automated defense part ?

[radiant prism]

thought they fixed that, but no haven't encountered this issue. Are you on the current season modifiers or past season?

[void pewter]

yeah this season

[misty kayak]

does soft spot work with the destroyer firefly (the onwe that goes for waeakpoints)?

[fluid meadow]

I would believe you need to do it with the weapon but try it out some weapon talents work with skills

[vital cave]

So tomorrow both lex and turmoil will be in everyone stash if they made 150 or 130 lvl in the stretch goals

[tender wave]

Yes, several people have reported that on the support discord, it's being investigated

[void pewter]

i see thanks

[winter yoke]

what are people using for seasonal event thing, they all suck and have caused me multiple failures because of the armor eating one just killing you

[void pewter]

Sanitation is pretty dope for both armor regen and damage/burn. the zealot one is also good but you need to hit something with the ending explosion or it nukes you yeah 🤣

Ive been mostly running sanitation bcs its low maintenance as in i dont need to watch every second of the timer to not die

[spare cove]

Zealot is pretty funny for me

[loud basalt]

Ok, seriously. These journey quests are buggy. Specially in Journey IV. Some just don't count

[tired field]

Does anyone have a schedule for invasion rotations. Needing capital building

[brazen copper]

Getting grenade multikills has been the hardest challenge I’ve ever had to do lol. Any tips?

[loud basalt]

Set your map to Normal difficulty, find a roaming group and throw a grenade

or do any missions in normal and throw grenades

[brazen copper]

I am ashamed to admit I’ve tried this but my grenades do almost no damage

[loud basalt]

what grenade are you using?

[brazen copper]

The one you start with. Is there more?

[loud basalt]

Yeah, go to your inventory click your grenade then choose concussion grenade

[brazen copper]

Holy cow. Thanks for that

[loud basalt]

be sure to shout "FRAG OUT!" for more damage

[brazen copper]

I have two days on this character and didn’t know there were different grenades

[radiant prism]

how are you supposed to use the spiced up active modifier? is it meant for hipfire, since you can't ads while it's active?
I don't see how it's supposed to work since you lose all armor...if I can only hipire then I'd have to be close range but that's pretty much suicide without armor

[winter yoke]

its killed me twice now from behind cover in solo retaliation from full health and not running revive like risky boi, not fun for me lol

[loud basalt]

Use shield, or get close and stay in cover

[winter yoke]

yeah to me seems all the modifiers suck compared to last season

very nieche scenarios with little gain

but you lose things to use it or after its over

[tender wave]

get up close with a fast firing weapon - hits heal you so you can survive just fine as long as you're landing shots

[kind veldt]

congrats you relieving the first PVP meta when the game was released

[spare cove]

If anyone have issues with this season's modifiers, that's their skill issue.

[upper ginkgo]

Foaming them first makes it a bit easier.

[spare cove]

I dunno about you guys, but I do like the Drifter vanity set. Always nice to see clothes that have been through wear and tear, and some blood and mud in it.

[thin totem]

its possible to get the tinkerer actually ?

[lunar hare]

#news-and-announcements

[valid sable]

@spare cove I like it in like the latest Ghost Recon games, makes sense because you're in the middle of nowhere, so your clothing is muddy, dirty, teared up and bloody. But here? I know there is an apocalypse going on but have some pride in yourself agent don't be disgusting

[lunar hare]

I always thought that our agents were smelly

[opaque lion]

Almost done with the season in like 3 days, haven't even made my own build yet

[valid sable]

they of course are, but i'm not walking around in no destroyed clothing, i'm not an Outcast hobo. I will just keep looting clothing items if there is no running water or a river nearby to wash it

[dark flicker]

I open the discord and immediately see this. Wat

[dark flicker]

Hobos are cool man

[valid sable]

yeah, and the Agent is friends with many (Division 1), happy to help out the community in need. That does not mean I want to look like one. Look at everyone on the cutscenes, they look ok. Not groomed, no makeup, certainly tired, but not on the level of the Drifter vanity set

[winter yoke]

5th time crashing on third CP lmao, much fun

[torn beacon]

How many control points or zones do we need to clear to get the maximum divide and conquer buffs? And does resetting our control points in DC for other activities reset the agitation meter for retaliation?

[dark flicker]

Does it end the session or does it put you back into the middle of everything?

I haven't crashed yet so was wondering

[torn beacon]

We crashed today and we lost the whole thing!

[dark flicker]

Damn.. thats annoying.

[torn beacon]

We were in the first control point in Foggy Bottom and we got disconnected. When we logged back in, we saw retaliation results saying failed.

[winter yoke]

this time it put me back in bless up

[dark flicker]

Crazy, i wonder what the difference was

[torn beacon]

Good that it might bring you back in.

[winter yoke]

i didnt know it did at first then it said initiate takeover after clearing

[torn beacon]

Were you solo or in a group @winter yoke ?

[cunning forum]

can you even capture the whole map? enemies are taking over my control points so fast, holy

[torn beacon]

I wanted to know how many control points you have to make green to get the maximum rate of fire and damage buff 30%.

[spare cove]

You can, but you'll get a backpack trophy from it

[winter yoke]

solo

[torn beacon]

Where do the cleaners retaliation show up? All the DLC locations?

[small spear]

yes, you just do cleaner activities

which you can't do outside of NY or brooklyn

[glad briar]

Can someone explain to me how Overdogs works?

[tender wave]

For the rate of fire buff you need to capture at least one CP in every named zone of your current map. For both ROF and damage buffs you need to capture all CPs in the current map. Resetting control points will lose you those bonuses, but you'll keep any retaliation progress.

[edgy coral]

Is it just me or the Heroic enemies in Retaliation do hit harder than usual?

[cunning forum]

they capture them faster than icould ever do

[edgy coral]

Feels like playing on Mastery difficulty

[spare cove]

Probably the modifiers

[tender wave]

more damage against the lowest tier enemies currently in combat with you

[torn beacon]

Thank you Kettle! So for DC, you need to capture every control point on the map? All 11 zones?!

[tender wave]

yeah, it's big challenge. Much easier in one of the NY maps

[pliant sentinel]

why doesnt the signature wpn kills count sometimes

[dark flicker]

Do you recall what it is? Sounds cool

[jagged prism]

maybe you're so overpowed you delete them out of existence and doesn't count for that?

[glad briar]

details, please

[pliant sentinel]

maybe

i killed like 15 bosses now, and its still 9/10

[torn beacon]

I think that should be reduced for DC, the controls change from green to red all the time.

And getting all the DC control points to green sound like a lot of hours lol.

[tender wave]

which enemies are in which tiers are listed in the item description

[spare cove]

I'm getting closer to getting Shroud, I can almost smell it.

[jagged prism]

not feel it?

[torn beacon]

Aren't the new exotic gloves the opposite of the shroud marksman exotic on who you can do the most damage to?

[spare cove]

Both is good.

[jagged prism]

could be, but i feel they're about equal

[tender wave]

pretty much, and if any remaining enemies are all in the same tier you get both bonuses

[pliant sentinel]

finally, 10/10, journey completed

[torn beacon]

That last part sounds nice.

How long does it take for a new kill squad to appear? Is there a cooldown between kill squads appearing?

[tender wave]

seems to be RNG

[torn beacon]

We did get 2 kill squads on one session. The last one we had over 10 minutes to do one last control point and roamed around for 5 minutes until one showed up again. That was still a long time to roam around for RNG lol.

[thick yarrow]

any reason why the server is restarting?

[torn beacon]

global rewards gift to everyone!

[tender wave]

That'll just be your local server, not the whole game - log off and on and it should put you on a different server

[hoary siren]

someone can help me to find the thinkerer mask in countdown?

[thick yarrow]

pretty sure we don't get that till tomorrow

[wise basalt]

if 30 is max proficient lvl, does that mean it's pointless to make whatever is left proficient?

[jagged prism]

only place to get it is the manager mission

[hybrid ore]

@wise basalt If you want to add Expertise to any future item, you need to make it Proficient first.
that's the only reason now.

@hoary siren The mission is currently disabled until the 23rd of September, but when it's re-active, head on over to #lfg-playstation to find a team.

[loud basalt]

Ok, scorched earth is horrifying to watch lol. I'm just standing there waiting for them to die.

[jagged prism]

lucky, don't think i've unlocked it yet

oh nm, i did unlock it. huh

scorchers, those the NPCs with the red tank at their lower back?

[trim lily]

@hybrid ore For the new sniper how do you determine who's on the top of the hierarchy if there's two elite enemies for example. Does it tell you in game specifically? 👀

[fluid meadow]

Wait whuh? Isn't it just like
this type is rogue so do 125% amp

-# or could you maybe rephrase that?

[trim lily]

I don't think so I thought it does amp dmg to the highest ranking enemy in a group. I'm not too sure tho don't ask me questions 😹

[fluid meadow]

Yeah exactly so think of it as an amplifier to specific types even if you face duplicate ones in a fight

[trim lily]

I get what you're saying but that's not what I'm asking. I mean if there's an elite tank and an elite sniper (this is a bad example ik) who takes the amp dmg?

[fluid meadow]

They both should take it i'm not understanding why it has to only be one of them?

If they're different tiers i'm not sure if it's just a lower amp or no amp at all

[thick yarrow]

i have to admit the backup system needs a revamp, its complete crap

[tropic badge]

Can someone help me understand how to use Zealot to complete the journey? Are you supposed to kill enemies after triggering it or wait till it is almost ready to go and run up to a bunch of them?

[echo arrow]

any PC based NA guilds out there, newbie friendly? (One active around this time of day)

[fluid meadow]

Try https://discord.com/channels/477210626742288384/535048747705696284

[jagged prism]

the emp? pretty sure you gotta find 5 sheep to run up on and let it explode within your radius

[rough phoenix]

For that one, where you have to hit 5. I was just going to public executions and sneaking close, activate zealot, wait until it is just about over, run and detanate. Just like the suicide bombers.

[jagged prism]

complete with the stomping and laughing? 🤔

[echo arrow]

I did that, msgd a few peeps from it between yesterday and today, and nada has come of it so I kinda came looking here since more eyes see it 🙂 but thank you!

[rough phoenix]

Internally, yes. lol

[fluid meadow]

They sound so ... wet..

[dark flicker]

Question, I just made chatterbox for the first time. How do I reconfigure? Is the bp lady bugged? She has a bunch of stuff ive never seen before and no reconfig bp for chatter

[wise basalt]

modifier cooldown is ridiculous, everytime u switch to another mod cd, everytime u join a grp, cd, switch maps, cd. wtf?!!!!. News flash to the devs - if ur afraid these mods r too op, guess again. very gimmicky. assuming u meet all the right conditions to trigger it and gain the buffs, most of the time it doesn't even work right .

[lunar hare]

relog

[dark flicker]

Gotcha, was just about to try that

[cyan musk]

Yep only outcast

[spare cove]

Honestly, Zealot+Scorched Earth against Outcasts makes it funnier than ever.

Journey 6 is very easy

[astral jacinth]

Ah good tip I found, If you travel to the Coney Island safehouse (among other locations), you can change the world difficulty there without resetting your control points.

[jagged prism]

nods think was mentioned on tuesday but i was like "why would i want to change my difficulty?" but yeah sounds like anyplace with a safe house really?

[astral jacinth]

I’m planning to change it to complete some of these journeys a bit faster

[winter yoke]

anyone else crashing contantly in retaliation, losing time on rejoin or no ability to rejoin

[jagged prism]

yeah i mentioned that to someone looking to do the grenade kills. "i got no time to drop difficulty just for that!"

[plucky bridge]

hi
plz tell me how to on 5 directi ves.
i cant on pistolero directive.
why?

[timber hatch]

so turn it off?

[plucky bridge]

No matter how many times I try
pistolero doesnt work

I'm fed up

[jagged prism]

least Raucey undestood you. i wasn't sure what exactly you were asking there

[plucky bridge]

yep

There are too many bugs related to directives and they are left unattended.

It's not a feature that everyone uses, so they're reluctant to fix it.

[hybrid ore]

Drop the tin-foil hat, it's just a bug that's getting worked on.

[plucky bridge]

So what if they leave it alone for years?
These bugs have been there since the beginning

[hybrid ore]

Directives didn't exist "in the beginning".

If you're just going to try for people to agree with you that everything is awful, you came to the wrong server.
I hear the community one is better for that, try there.

[jagged prism]

the directives bug cropped up around the new seasonal modifiers bit. it was like an STD. you MM with someone who had them on but you had them all off. you finish and guess what your directives are on
then we got directives that turns on but doesn't exist during the season, so workaround head over to summit to disable it and pray you don't see it again

[fathom maple]

Sometimes they dont fix x bc It can lead to more errors

[lime fulcrum]

hello riven
sry for tag
they announced 12 sept for summer caches named items
do we get it automatically?! 🤔

[fathom maple]

In mail box tmrrow

[lime fulcrum]

ty ❤️

[jagged prism]

you'll log in and have a notification "pick up items in mailbox"

[plucky bridge]

yep i know
i play this game March 2019
i said the beginning is directive beginning

[shrewd cosmos]

You have to regrind exp on each modifier PER character?

[plucky bridge]

i just wanna know how to work it!

[smoky moth]

I'm having a hard time for collectibles. Specifically Division Comms: Priority Target: Keener. I'm using the online map, and still can't find it. It's supposed to be on a table in the White House, as you pass Clan Quartes

[lime fulcrum]

ty ❤️

[rough phoenix]

I'm not sure that map is correct, collectibles were moved around at some point. Try looking at the stranded boat in West Potomac Park. The boat is on the southside of the rectangle body of water, about half to Lincoln Memorial.

[smoky moth]

Body of water. You talking about The Ellipse? The giant circle pool, in front of The White House?

oh lil bit N

[dry gate]

why is zealot killing me? full health and armor

[astral jacinth]

Still having inventory disappearing?

[rough phoenix]

No. Between the washington monument and lincoln memorial

[plucky bridge]

yep
yesterday it happened.

[astral jacinth]

Buy more apparel, might help them fix the bug faster

[plucky bridge]

haha
but the bug can be fixed by logging out and logging back in.

[jagged prism]

i haven't had it kill me once so far, but you're not the only one who came in here with that

[dry gate]

the issue is that I was even out of fight.. and it still downed me on emp explosion.

[low spire]

It looks like Brooklyn is on sale now, but standard edition only on Epic.

[jagged prism]

it's contagious apperently. i'm level 5 on it and used it with nothing near me but i did just die because of it. i'd have to try it again and see

[slate lion]

Did it burn you also?

[cold narwhal]

Were goalie and rusty the only perfect pressure point weapons? I forgor

[jagged prism]

believe so. one AR the other LMG

[dry gate]

not that i remember.. it was on rosie the first try.. cleared the second room, everything was clear, zealot was still active, we were supposed to move forward and I waited deliberately to see how much damage it would do to me since i was full on everything and it downed me when it exploded. I was downed, but as far as I remember didn't see myself burning.

[polar halo]

How long will be the servers down? i just saw that few minutes ago the announcement ingame

[kind veldt]

FAL and RPK in specific

[small spear]

can you try it and note if you have passed 30s since you started the mission? i'm suspecting they're probably actually killing you but you get protected by OSP

easy test is just run into a newly replayed mission and pop it, your OSP should be disabled, if you die in this case it's probably because OSP wasn't protecting you

(which is poor design on their part, not ours)

[dry gate]

I mean on second room of the run the 30 seconds definitely already lapsed.. and even if I take in account the second room, from th moment we entered the room and by the time we cleared the room, definitely 30 seconds elapsed by the time zealot exploded.. so I'm 99.9% sure I wasn't under OSP. During the first 2 rooms as well I wasn't even damaged enough to break my armor (so that 100% didn't trigger OSP). Btw, we were on challenging too. Which makes it all more bizzare. I'll try again when I farm viewpoint start to see if it downs me again.

[mellow sun]

Friends, in the game, there is something like an exotic component on the right side at the bottom in the specialisation section, I think this was not there before, I wonder what we need to do to accumulate it after the last update? So we will constantly break exotic parts, I don't understand this?

[dry gate]

you get exotic components by breaking exotic items.. is that what you are asking?

[mellow sun]

No, I don't know if this came with the new update, I haven't been entering the expertise section for a while, but today I realised that even in non-exotic parts, for example, 1/999 is written, there is an exotic icon next to it, I couldn't understand it.

[dry gate]

can you take a screenshot and post it in ask the community channel.. in general once you reach I think expertise 10 upgrade on any item, you need exotic compoennts to ugrade it further.. not sure if it's 10 or 14 can't remember.. that's for expertise..

[mellow sun]

I think it's probably the regelation feature, but I think so. This seems to have happened after the last update. But do we play this alone, can't our friend be included in this mode?

[dry gate]

nah.. that's normal, nothing to do with retaliation.. your expertise on that item is 16.. every upgrade after expertise on an item beyond 14 i believe will require exotic components to upgrade and it gets more expensive as you go higher.

I saw your screenshot.. that's why it's VERY expensive to upgrade an item to expertise 30.. it will require you A LOT of exotic components. So choose wisely when you go over upgrade 15 as it costs a lot and upgrade first the items you play the most with in your builds.

[mellow sun]

Now I understand, there was no such feature before, but I think I'm wrong? I think it must have come after the last update, because I don't remember such an option.

[rough phoenix]

That has always been part of Expertise

[dry gate]

it was always there from when expertise was introduced I believe. Actually people who played this game a lot longer can probably tell you, it was actually worse.. I think they lowered the upgrade requirement. Or maybe it was easier. I know it's one or the other 🙂

[rough phoenix]

Yeah the costs are lower now

[dry gate]

I think before it was easier to get the proficiency up right @rough phoenix ? But upgrade costs were worse?

[mellow sun]

It was as if it could be upgraded more easily in the past, I remember so, now it's like they have imposed a limitation.

[rough phoenix]

Yes, they slowed that down

[rough phoenix]

Expertise costs were higher for every material, they lower the costs of everything. And added a chance for Exo Comps to drop from Heroic CPs

[mellow sun]

It's bad, frankly, it's like something like a limit has come, so it's a bit difficult, it's like they made it a bit difficult, I just remember that it used to progress by leveling up faster.

[kind veldt]

Epxertise was added close to countdown

[rough phoenix]

Oh, you are talking about the Expertise Rank itself. Well of course it's harder to level as you become Proficient in more and more items. There are less items to gain Ranks in. That's always been the case. That's when donation of materials kicks in. Printer filiments to Exoctics and Named items are the priority as needed

[full zinc]

Same update as cd added

[jagged prism]

pretty sure there's a spreadsheet somewhere here that shows how much total exotic components one needs to go from 12-30

think it was in the 100's?

[full zinc]

Its somewhere in the 80 range

[rough phoenix]

https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/comments/1h7cnkb/expertise_costs_updated_for_tu22/

[full zinc]

Community has a pin with a chart for it. Stops before 30 but repeating pattern so...

[jagged prism]

thanks, thought we had a spreadsheet showing how much materials each took from 1-30 someplace on this server?

[full zinc]

#ask-td2-community message

[rough phoenix]

Probably, im not in here often. lol

[jagged prism]

mind you, upgrading your armor only increase the base (white number) of it. not the armor cores

[rough phoenix]

Yeah, i dont bother with armor. Well I did do Ninjabag and Memento

[full zinc]

Our pin was same as the image @rough phoenix posted

[jagged prism]

i can imagine. was just thinking those few would just rather see a picture instead of clicking link and waiting for it to open sort of deal XD

was expertise in teh 100s for exotic component at one time or just does it feel like 100's?

[full zinc]

Where you at where links take time to load?!

Nvm, I'm dumb

To 30

[jagged prism]

so never 100? i swore at the beginning we were in the 100's then they dropped it and probably dropped it again?

[full zinc]

If its was old costs it would be close to 200 I think

255 in old system

[jagged prism]

probably just me thinking it feels like 100's of components when we had to rely on getting duplicates to crunch to get our parts needed

[full zinc]

55comp to exp 20, 20 comp per level after that in the old system

A number of my weapons had 135 components into them when they reduced the cost

[jagged prism]

maybe that was i was thinking of

now we get them components like they're handing out the good candy (> <)

you know, those guys that lures people in with good candy that'll make you feel good? but want 50+USD? 😹

it's nice they give them out now though. those exotic caches i've gotten would've been crunched to components anyways so they save me a step finally

[sour void]

I managed to get 600 grenade rounds for my M32.

1. Get specialization ammo by any means.
2. Activate Advanced Materiel.
3. Take out your Specialization Weapon. Your magazine should be filled to the max.
4. Fire off one shot of your Specialization Weapon, then stow it.
5. (Optional) Eliminate enemies with Specialization Weapon to extend active duration.
6. Repeat Step 3, 4 and 5 as needed.

[cunning forum]

how do i get the sanitation active for duration + 10 seconds mission?

[eager talon]

How do I identify a "leader" type enemy in this game are those the ones with overheal?

[frozen relic]

they are rikers that give overheal to every other riker

[sour void]

Riker enemy. Look for a large chevron above a thinner one.

[eager talon]

Thanks, time for bounties and I only have 2 LOL

[sour void]

10700+ minigun rounds
This is not okay

[cyan musk]

fastest way to grind zealot to max?

[eager talon]

Lazy way? Firing range AOE the group elite dummy. Normal way, do a lot of outcast retaliation.

[nimble fox]

Yeah man, to get your gear and guns proficient was a job. And 20 was the max exotic components for the longest time

[wise basalt]

where do I find outcast scorchers near the beginning of the mission?

[sharp pebble]

server down for anyone else?

[civic zephyr]

is the population way smaller on pc compared to console? I feel like I never run into anyone in the DZ anymore

[sharp pebble]

I believe pvp is dead in the game because of cheaters/glitch abusers

at least that's what I heard in-game. Most players just pve/countdown etc

[gloomy wyvern]

I was having weird Delta-04 disconnects every time I got close to a thousand. I'm surprised you got it that high

Has anyone run into random rogues in Brooklyn?

[sour void]

What I escaped from Delta-04 was made up for by severe loading lag.

Enemy kill squads would drop right on top of me.

[eager talon]

Ivy tunnel

[fathom haven]

Anyone having a problem completing the Daily Project Black Tusk Hunt (Complete an Invaded Stronghold Mission on Hard or higher difficulty). I've completed 2 invaded stronghold missions on Heroic and it's not registering

[wise basalt]

very stupid that other player kills don't count towards lvling up modifier, how does that make sense?

[grim rain]

What does more damage… 4pc striker w/striker chest and memento backpack, or 4pc striker, memento backpack, and yellow chest piece with obliterate?

[timid wind]

I got an exotic on story mode difficulty

the sacrum imperium

[dark flicker]

If you can keep the striker chest talent maxed, that. Its easier this season with ROF buffs but imo the second one will be more consistent

[golden sapphire]

Retaliation feels too easy. It can't just be me right? Hope it gets finetuned more

[dark flicker]

A lot of ppl find it hard but thats uhh, a them thing

[golden sapphire]

I guess I'm used to tanky enemies in the countdown I was farming that activity last season

[dark flicker]

For me id like the timer to be a little less and the kill squads more deadly but i got criticized for the first one heavily 💀

[golden sapphire]

Yes!

[hoary siren]

when the potomac legacy mission will be playable again?

[golden sapphire]

Kill squads are so squishy.

[dark flicker]

Yeah, i ran around a corner directly into them on my first run and didn't die and killed them quickly and was like... uh okay

If that was 5 elites id prob have died lol

[fair citrus]

new brand set with pakhan and the whole kill squad is gone under half a magazine

[golden sapphire]

And the timer is a lot. I could complete areas for 4 control points in 8-9 min max

[dark flicker]

The 23rd of this month

[hoary siren]

how do you know that

[fair citrus]

do we have a time when we get the lexington? sorry im just too desperate to get it

[dark flicker]

It said so when I logged into the game 💀

[dark flicker]

Nope 🙁

[fair citrus]

ima cry

[golden sapphire]

Lexington & turnoil will drop Friday

[dark flicker]

Still the 11th here in the us of A

[hoary siren]

why do you want lexington?

[fair citrus]

its 12th where i live, wheres my lexi

[dark flicker]

Because he wants to shoot it

[hoary siren]

i have two of them

[golden sapphire]

Honestly, Lexington is overhyped. Good thing is it comes with stats maxed out so no need to optimize

[fair citrus]

i stopped farming the event at lvl 200, all i got was eagle bearer...

[hoary siren]

im farming catalyst still 0 drop

[fair citrus]

dont even mention that, catalyst is just a myth

[hoary siren]

this game had to add some pity sistem

[hoary siren]

the mission is sooo long bro

[dark flicker]

It was overhyped to the point of grinding 10 hrs a day for the chance to get it. A player being excited to get it in the mail is totally normal lol

[fair citrus]

the army terminal is so long

[hoary siren]

i need that mask so much

[golden sapphire]

I got catalyst farming open world bosses. Every 30 min I go to bridge pier park mission turn around and kill the named enemy. I did it in heroic

[fair citrus]

i stopped running army terminal, i just do the daily bounties and pray

[fair citrus]

that dude dropped the coyote mask for me....

[hoary siren]

if you want tomorrow we can farm it

[fair citrus]

u mean army terminal?

[hoary siren]

yeah

[fair citrus]

hell nah 💀

[hoary siren]

i still have to do the regulus raid

[eager talon]

Why do some people say tipping scales is bugged when reloading, the buff does stay, at leaast for me.

[golden sapphire]

Yeah they do drop random exotics but can also drop catalyst. Im not sure if you need to have completed the army terminal mission first

[dark flicker]

Well you guys arent even on same platform so cant even farm together xD

[hoary siren]

we are 3 of us all lvl 5000 with meta builds

[hoary siren]

i have another account on pc

[fair citrus]

its not that, i can run it down fast solo, i just got sick of that mission

[dark flicker]

Dang, you love division! Respect lol

[hoary siren]

favorite game

[golden sapphire]

I have an account of pc and playstation. I hope massive makes it cross play next game 😭

[dark flicker]

I was addicted to div 1 and unhealthy amount. Like genuinely unhealthy had to quit

[fair citrus]

i made a custom rifle build that slaps 25 mil, ain't nothing a challenge

[hoary siren]

one shot headshot build?

[fair citrus]

ye

[dark flicker]

They most likely will. The main reason this one wasnt was back then playstation was VERY anti cross play

[hoary siren]

i have it too

[golden sapphire]

I have all cool cosmetics on playstation account. Atleast enable crossplay for cosmetic 🥹

[hoary siren]

just enable cross platform

and cross save

[dark flicker]

They cant enable it, theyd have to rework the entire game for it and its too late for that

[fair citrus]

i run the 1887 with 3 piece of the zwarowsky or tf is the name, with the eagle's grasp and stuff

[hoary siren]

yeah bro same build

[fair citrus]

dang why u copying me

[golden sapphire]

If forza horizon 5 could enable it this late into it's lifecycle I'm sure ubisoft can do too

[dark flicker]

This is a live service game, its very different 😭

[hoary siren]

i created a build with st.elmo 4 striker pieces and memento with sombra obliterate its broken

[golden sapphire]

I dunno it feels like a convenient excuse so they can get more money from us

[hoary siren]

sorry for bad english im italian

[fair citrus]

i decline striker

[dark flicker]

They want more player, if they could they definitely would because it would bring in more player and more money

[hoary siren]

you have to try it trust me you have a lot of surv ability with this build you can play solo legendary missions

[dark flicker]

Some players are very anti striker xD

[fair citrus]

[dark flicker]

I mean, that build would most likely out dmg you in group. Strikers just does that

[fathom harbor]

what do u guys put into pt for watch ?

[hoary siren]

what lmg i can use for ongoing directive build?

[dark flicker]

With tinkerer?

[hoary siren]

yes

[fair citrus]

use assault rifle, its better trust me, i tried it with lmg and AR and AR is better

[dark flicker]

I see ppl use gr9 or negev often

[fair citrus]

GR9 for lmg and black market akm for AR

[hoary siren]

and what perk of the two weapon i have to use

[dark flicker]

Sadist

[hoary siren]

the second one?

[dark flicker]

And measured iirc and have wicked talent bp

[fair citrus]

sadist + vindictive if you play with group

[dark flicker]

Im not 100% on the second wep talent sry 🙁 i mostly look at ppls builds in my matchmaking

[hoary siren]

i need tinkerer mask but i can’t get it

[dark flicker]

Rip

[fair citrus]

also im running tempest with ongoing for shits and giggles and its actually good

[dark flicker]

I used to use bluescreen with od and while it wasnt the best it was fun

[hoary siren]

my friend have the mask if we play countdown can he find the mask?

[fair citrus]

no

or maybe

[hoary siren]

like they removed a method to get that mask

[dark flicker]

You cant get it until the 23rd

[hoary siren]

how the master mission work

[fair citrus]

his friend already have the mask, idk if it gets put into the loot pool tho

[dark flicker]

It just the same mission but with more enemies that are tankier and once you complete it you would get the mask. But they had to take it down to fix something

[unique bramble]

Today is 9/11 and I noticed that the new Urban Lookout brand logo is a bit suspicious, no?

[fair citrus]

u buggin

[dark flicker]

The master mission exotics only drop from there or the stretch caches when we had them and tink wasnt in there

[dark flicker]

Bratha go sleep 💀

[fair citrus]

i don't remember well, but i think i got tinkerer from a normal exotic cache after i "unlocked" it from the master

[unique bramble]

Tell that to the game designers, not me

[jagged prism]

23rd as the in game UI message stated. last i remember of it as indicated here #ask-td2-community message

[jagged prism]

first you gotta unlock the climax mission with 2 HVT target objectives. then once unlocked you gotta run the climax mission once on normal-heroic which unlocks master difficulty. you get an extreme slim chance getting the exotic with the normal to heroic. think highest is something like 10% but first clear of master 100% guaranteed

[jagged prism]

you talking the U icon?

[jagged prism]

that would be another bug if true. climax exotics are strictly climax missions

[unique bramble]

It's a pretty strange U if you ask me

[jagged prism]

i'd realy have to have a look at it, but it just looked like a strange way of making a U with multiple lines of pixels like we're back in the 80's or something?

[unique bramble]

Yeah but when you look at the top of the U, it has a skybar and an antenna.

Or maybe I just drank too much

[jagged prism]

and you're not sharing the drinks with the rest of us?

[jagged prism]

you know AI don't sleep right?

[unique bramble]

You want sharing, you play countdown and select alcohol

[hoary siren]

if i do the new york dlc i still get the points?

[jagged prism]

which points?

[hoary siren]

scavenging

[jagged prism]

you get them anytime you level your shd. could pvp all you want and get them Edit: you also get 1 scavenging points every 5th level until you reach 999, then it's all nothing but scavenging points
