if you full blue your pesti ticks wont do much

my basic pvp setup has more passive regen than you could deal with that, so u gonna need ur team to dps

[inner mason]

Most players die to it. A while back I was able to kill two players, one had a typical unbreakable and adrenaline rush Famas build and the other had a bighorn regen build. That sets the build apart from other builds because of the sustained damage. My pesti is at 30 expertise btw. Also, I should mention that this build's pieces are at 28 expertise and I usually swap the mask to a red and still be at 1.9 and do enough damage to chew through bighorn builds

[tiny oar]

a full blue regen bighorn build that die to full blue pesti build ? neer seen that happen lol i cant even die to that build even if i tried

and im not that tanky to begin with

[low lily]

He plays on playstation that's why 😁 on console's people don't hit so much headshots so the bighorn meta isn't that big there. Easier to just bodyshot pestie

[tiny oar]

oh, yeah that makes sense

[hollow hill]

Controller player on PC here,

I'd walk all over you console kiddies. Your movement is a snail's pace compared to PC. It's harder to hit headshots on Adderall PC players vs middle aged dads in DZ on console (or retired veterans)

[low lily]

Damn so edgy, guys it's just a game...like chill 🤣🤣🤣

[hollow hill]

Going from console, to PC, was a night and day difference. I could easily go back and do just fine lol

I'm not really being edgy, just saying from experience that's how it is lmao

PC is exponentially harder than console

[tender wave]

Did you just call console players both 'kiddies' and middle aged dads/retired veterans in the same sentence? 😂

[hollow hill]

Yes, yes I did 😂

In the pvp scene they'd basically be bait on PC 😂

An overhaul to the movement system for pvp would be fairly nice tbh. Keeps the players on mnk from spamming inputs and camera jiggle strafing and being able to abuse it to dodge bullets or be harder to track

[hybrid ore]

Careful, your fedora fell out of the closet.

[bold pier]

is there a guide to finding cloth in the game?

[kind veldt]

Low rarity clothing just drops from opening a couple of stuff in open world until you get all of them

Some can be rewards from specific activities

Many from events

And they also rotate the apparel cache ones you get from levelling up

[limpid pond]

i went to sleep, not long after that statement, but yes, i verified files, launching now

[limpid pond]

TF?!?!? LMAO

[hollow hill]

its a damn shame I shaved off my neck beard

[pliant sentinel]

God i am ur strongest soldier spawn a hunter kill squad

[harsh marsh]

Soo random question but opinions on the new starter screen before you select your character

[limpid pond]

what changed ?

[harsh marsh]

Like before the warning bit

[limpid pond]

the new Div 2 logo? not much of a change

those splash screens have been pretty staple for years now

[noble hound]

Is no one playing cd??? Cant find a group for the love of sanity

[kind veldt]

Did you put it on challenging?

[noble hound]

ofc

FINALLY A GROUP GEE

[compact portal]

server restart?

[hybrid ore]

@compact portal Visual bug, at worst you'll get thrown into a new one.

[tawdry jolt]

is anyone know if it is still possible to get the Harvest from the lootguy now?

[hybrid ore]

Only during holiday events, such as Xmas time, are they added to his loot pool.
It's best to refer to them as the "loot goblin" in the future, that's what the community has taken to calling them.

[fervent cobalt]

I call him jingles sometimes. Great ever since they buffed his loot

[limpid pond]

so what exactly do the broken watches and other things get you from retaliation

[remote pecan]

you can use them to craft other things, like exotics/reconstructed caches
check inaya for the crafting blueprints, the blueprints for the exotics drop while playing the mode

[limpid pond]

Surge, is........ LVOA?

[kind veldt]

y

[tiny oar]

finally completed retal from rikers cleaners and true sons, fk thoses drop rate, now outcast and hyenas

[languid mist]

Did anyone send a bug report about typo in the last season manhunt? It should be 2 of November not 2 of September

[toxic lily]

why 2... again. Could've bring back the OG jacket instead lol

[tiny oar]

I think they already know that by now

[limpid pond]

so is it true that all the people with names over their heads, like at the BOO, Safe Houses and other places, are members of Ubisoft or otherwise partners with the developement of Div2? I thought i read this somewhere

[spare cove]

Not all of them

[hybrid ore]

@spiral trellis You're looking for #td2-clan-recruitment
or you can use #lfg-pc to find non-clan friends.
Welcome Agent, and gl

[spiral trellis]

ty

[misty kayak]

does turmoil affect our turret/striker drone?

[tender wave]

No

[misty kayak]

pity

[tiny oar]

only direct weapon damage as written on the item

[hybrid ore]

It's a good idea to double-check, a lot of item descriptions are....less than truthful.

[alpine ocean]

Hi im new to division 2 only lvl10

Whats the fastest way to lvl up?

[valid sable]

just play through the story

[alpine ocean]

Ok

[thin isle]

Anyone else’s journey missions just not allowing to complete mission 8

[valid sable]

yes, it says to me that complete Journey 2 🥺

[hybrid ore]

Related to Journey: but I completed the "shock enemies with cleaner drone" in a single shot today.
The entire challenge from 0 to max. It did it so fast I actually lagged out for a second.

[noble hound]

Man this sucks, i opened all hyena lockboxes in jud. square, no component... sigh

[mild tangle]

Is there any ongoing issues with the Ubi launcher? I keep getting blocked from starting Division 2 because ... "Game already running"
I can assure that it isnt. There is no game-process. Restarting the launcher does nothing, verifying the files does nothing...

[kind veldt]

task manager found anything?

[mild tangle]

There is nothing.

[tiny oar]

in the worst case restart ur pc

[mild tangle]

Its not a bad remedy, just shouldnt be neccesary.

[hybrid ore]

The #1 rule of IT is, was, and always will be "have you tried turning it off and on again?".

[mild tangle]

I hold a senior IT-position... I know.. sigh

[tiny oar]

well u know the drill then

[remote pecan]

probably Easy Anti Cheat, it will also say Division 2 is running, while EAC is actively blocking the launch of the game

[alpine tiger]

when tinkering available ?

[hybrid ore]

I had that problem regularly for about 3+ years.
there's usually some hidden div2 process down the list somewhere.

@alpine tiger It's only useful at Lvl 40, so if it's available before then: don't worry about it.

[alpine tiger]

I mean tinkering mask not available now how to get it

[hybrid ore]

Ooh, 23rd of September.
mission is currently bugged out, it's being re-enabled then.

[mild tangle]

Hm.
Success without relog or reboot. Hard-killed all Ubi core related processes, steam, epic... other lauchers..

Not a div2*.exe, but probably a locked handle in the Ubi/launcher-procceses.

oh and now I get a Launch Error (30005) "Createfile failed" .. what the shit.

[remote pecan]

easy anti cheat issue 😄

there is an installer in the games folder, may reinstall the thing

[hybrid ore]

All this to avoid restarting your PC.

[mild tangle]

Im a tech - I'd like to know the source of the issue and how to solve it.
"Just reboot" is just as lazy.

[hybrid ore]

We're going to come back here in 3 days and you've somehow replaced the SSD without turning it off.

[kind veldt]

are you playing with controller or something else plugged in?

[mild tangle]

oh I can already to that. Hotswap.

[hybrid ore]

Restarting your PC is not lazy, that is a weird thing to say.

[mild tangle]

No. Basic win11 24h2..

[kind veldt]

EAC would not close some game process if i had my controller on

[hybrid ore]

Be honest: what's your uptime?

[mild tangle]

Fair point, but it is a lazy solution. Especially for a curious tech

[hybrid ore]

That is the same thing, still weird to say.

[kind veldt]

guy is more interested on the why of things

[hybrid ore]

That's fine, but calling it lazy is weird.

Regardless, you should probably take this over to #unofficial-troubleshooting

[mild tangle]

sure. Oh and its 9 days or so uptime. Not at it matters.

[tropic compass]

what do manoeuvres in retaliation do?

[hybrid ore]

Give you a tiny bit of extra time.

[limpid pond]

tiny?

err well, that's subjective, since ive wound up with 13, 15..... 18 minutes is my record thus far, just from kills and rapid paced running

[hybrid ore]

Each Manoeuvre itself is a tiny amount, stacking things up and being quick is what gives you loads of time.

Especially completing each CP, and the Kill Squads.

[dark flicker]

does revive hive bug out in retaliation or maybe its my bad connection? i got down and get picked up by my hive and it fails the retaliation 🙁

[pine matrix]

Afternoon peeps

[winged cedar]

I'm a bit late to the party, but I have the samme issue only when it comes to using the store, doesn't open the store page for me when trying to access it in game. Maybe linked?? 😅

[mild tangle]

@winged cedar Maybe. Both jobs are done by the launcher framework and the UbiCore components, but impossible to isolate without process-tracing. And honestly I dont care enough to dive that deep.

[near prairie]

Is it a timer for a faction to retaliate or do you just have to piss them off enough by doing activities around DC and NY?

[tender wave]

just need to do enough activities/bounties/missions/get faction kills

[near prairie]

Ah gotcha, thanks

[golden bone]

Hi

[lament zinc]

hey guys whats the best way to farm exotics? got back into the game after years wanna farm the new/meta exotics (tinkerer. chatterbox, etc)

[alpine tiger]

When tinkrer will be avaialble in manger mission?

[kind veldt]

23rd

[noble hound]

Uhhh.. i just bought the premium credits for the season pass and didnt get themmmm

Nvm took a while but got them

[tiny oar]

depends on the exotic, tinkerer is not aviable atm, chatterbox is done via quest, most other exotics can be farm with countdown

[graceful plover]

Hi. I've a question bout expertize, guys. I've a mastery rank of 10 for the heartbreaker set but looks like I can't upgrade it through expertize. Like, not at all. Tells me my expertize lvl is too low. Do you guys know why?

[tiny oar]

every item you get to rank 10 give you 1 point of expertise, there are few hundred of them to get, a bunch of point will give you an expertise lvl, up to 30, that expertise lvl is the lvl you can upgrade ur gear

[graceful plover]

Oooooh, okay. Jeez that will be pretty darn long to get it to 30 then

[tiny oar]

so, it's a long run work, def not the get rich quick kind of work

[graceful plover]

Ok ok, thank your for the answer!

Have a nice day

[tiny oar]

u2 bud

[dusk hull]

Servers down?

[simple ridge]

Just logged in with no issues here on PC, so I don't think so

[royal moon]

i'm running around in it fine

though i'm late

[dusk hull]

Thanks

[frigid ferry]

Uhh question why is the floor just gone

[tiny oar]

you can buy in next dlc dont worry

[frigid ferry]

Is there something wrong with the servers?

[tiny oar]

if there was, u can bet there would be 5 message/second in this channel lol

[frigid ferry]

Everything is slow as hell and the floor texture is just gone.

Are we gonna have to wait next season for them to add it back lol?

[tiny oar]

thats def your pc struggling, visual bugs are usually pc side not servers

[kind veldt]

that usually more your PC than server

i mean bad connection can mean funky stuff happening for sure

but unusual to be like that

[tiny oar]

and from what u say, its def ur pc, not even your internet, your graphics dont seem to load

and its stored on your drive, not downloaded every frame

[frigid ferry]

Im on console

[tiny oar]

then you pick the wrong role cause you are marked on pc, but doesnt matter, your console is struggling

try restarting it, clearing up some storage, letting it cool a bit, etc

[frigid ferry]

Gotcha

[tiny oar]

time to sleep for me, more build testing tomorrow, gonna be fun

[royal moon]

nini

[graceful plover]

Hi guys, I've another noob question. What are the consequences of not doing a retaliation?

[loud fox]

nothing, it expires after a time

[graceful plover]

Oh okay. Nice. Thanks for the answer and enjoy your day, agent!

[loud fox]

you too!

I want to do a cleaners retaliation but damn I really don't want to deal with the turrets at the CPs

[graceful plover]

Pariah retaliation are a bunch of fun, just waiting for the kamikaze ones to be in the middle of others and make them go boom

Well, in english this faction would be outcasts

[frozen relic]

I did one or two in Brooklyn I remember the turrets being on

[pure zealot]

heyy quick q , what do I do with gear mods?

[valid sable]

Favorite and use the best, deconstruct the rest?

[pure zealot]

ahh thank you I thought there were used for something, I finished WONY and I m trying to understand how to best progress

[stark cosmos]

Actually ps server experienced lags around the time he mentioned it. Now it crashed fully. Whole group just dc'd and screen shows 0% loading for 2 mins now

[spare cove]

Pariah? You mean Outcasts?

[spring spear]

hi

[radiant prism]

I see that the manager manhunt is enabled....this intentional or it's supposed to still be disabled?

[graceful plover]

Yeah, outcasts

[feral shadow]

How does keener still have his watch on,isn’t that the shd watch I got?,also how is he in a cell here at the White House yet running a muck in new York ,also is there a way to disable the ny missions so they don’t trigger every time I run by,I’m too messed up health wise to be able to buy it…it’s annoying

[kind veldt]

should be disabled until the 23rd

you can select the mission but it wont start

[royal moon]

have to say, amused and sad there's no exotic stoner :D

[small spear]

bluescreen crying in a corner

[royal moon]

i've got bluescreen. haven't looked at it.. but thought it was like a modified m60.. not stoner. (checks again) aw oops

[radiant prism]

Yes the Bluescreen is based on the Stoner but it's far better as it has an rpm buff as one of its mods, plus the status effects. It's a great all around lmg

[royal moon]

yeah. I can't decide which one I like more. bluescreen is great for its 'disorienting' effect and how.. laser like it can be, very accurate for a lmg. Pestilence isn't quite as long range but has a 'your going to die.. and take your friends with you' effect.. :D

[radiant prism]

Pestilence with the new Tipping Scales gearset is crazy fun

[warm egret]

Does this week’s double XP event apply to proficiency as well?

[royal moon]

yeah. I've been using the two LMG's with.. most of the tipping scale set (I think I'm using 5 pieces right now since I don't really have anything better).. I've got the vile face mask, but that does status effects and (from what i've heard doesn't effect pestilence)

was going to post my build in the build advice chat later, once done this mission

[warm egret]

Awesome. Thank you!

[royal moon]

oh sorry wasn't answering you. I honestly don't know about the xp

[warm egret]

Oh damn 😭

[small spear]

no it doesn't, and it's triple xp btw

[warm egret]

Got it, thank you!

[hybrid ore]

I never noticed before, but these seasonal journey caches have some wild combos.

I'm tempted to try them out as actual builds.

[limpid pond]

server restart, legit or fluke?

[hybrid ore]

Visual bug, at worst you'll get sent to a new one.

consistent issue.

23rd is the actual weekly reset, which is also when we're getting the Manager Climax mission back.

[cold narwhal]

Why do all the twitch channels say drops, but there aren’t any currently running according to twitch

[limpid pond]

whoever thought up of "Ruperts Tears" I need to give that person a beer, a shot, SOMETHING........ its soo much fun stripping them down damn near naked and almost insta killing them on Retaliations as Kill Squads.

my only real complaint right now:

When you complete a Retaliation - that countdown timer needs to be a full minute or, even better - manual trigger after a player(s) is done collecting loot, especially on multi-play coop sessions. it ends before you can collect the loot, depending on how powerful you are and if you kill NPC's 50-100m away.

i see the Summit got a redesign as well 🙂

[hybrid ore]

I can picture trolling happening if the timer was host triggered.
A "fire flare to leave" feature would be good though.

[lavish flame]

does anyone know where I can find the div2 google sheet which has the list of the named items and other stuff.

[hybrid ore]

@lavish flame #td2-build-advice > 📌 > spreadsheet 2.

[lavish flame]

thank you kindly, oh great Lesbian A.I.

[hybrid ore]

Rivens is fine.

[lavish flame]

ik but i wanted to be funny, my apologies

[jagged prism]

my thought would be a "whatever we don't loot just gets sent to our mailbox in the stash"

[glossy finch]

Heck laboratory final loot in countdown still crashing?

[hybrid ore]

@jagged prism The post master bot from destiny started a franchise.

[jagged prism]

what did they change in there?

[limpid pond]

lots of new room designs, placement is better, and padlocked loot rooms have more stuff

[jagged prism]

well, i should run it since i'll want that tempest exotic next week

[limpid pond]

whats the new automatic pistol

[hybrid ore]

When was this change made to Summit?

[limpid pond]

IDEK, i just know there's things that are new, especially the room layouts

[hybrid ore]

@limpid pond Tempest, it's supposed to just be from the Climax Mission of this Season, but it was.....well let's just say you have a chance to get it from Fl00.

I duck back into summit fairly regularly, I haven't noticed changes.

[jagged prism]

they did a boo boo this season. the exotic pistol Tempest was supposed to be in this seasons climax mission but people were running the manager mission and getting it dropped instead of the tinkerer mask

[limpid pond]

new loot packages in the little padlocked closet rooms, seems to be a bunch of silent fixes on errors also

[hybrid ore]

We got a F100 Hunter room change years back, but that's about it.

[jagged prism]

that was basically forcing you though those doors to start the enctounter right?

[hybrid ore]

Bingo.

to stop people cheesing it.

I am still a little sad that we lost the "7 hunters final room" change from launch of Summit.

Mandatory Legendary 7 Hunters was a wild time.

[jagged prism]

7 assuming full group spawn?

[limpid pond]

7?!?!?!?

[hybrid ore]

On launch, Summit had a feature where it would increase in difficulty as you ascended.

if you wondered why Ridgeways Pride parts were divided like they are.

So floor 80-100 was mandatory Legendary, with 100 having 7 hunters in the final room.

[jagged prism]

don't think i really remember that, but maybe i only ran it in PTS and wasn't interested in it. ran it after they changed it

[hybrid ore]

It was only like that for about a week, I just recall getting my Bighorn from that.

I was minorly obsessed with Summit on launch, I really like a good dungeon crawler game.

[jagged prism]

think i was like. neat idea but gets extremely boring very quickly mindset so i didn't do the run much aside getting ridgeway's pride and capacitor and occasionally when i don't feel like doing countdown i run summit with TL stuff

i'm surprised we can't get True Patriot blueprints

[limpid pond]

i wanna know why we cant get Ceska Vest prints

[jagged prism]

that too, pretty annoying really XD

[hybrid ore]

IIRC TP was part of the Iron Horse Raid? Dark Hours used to/still does have their BP's locked too.

whatever Raid each is from, that's why.

[plush agate]

kinda wished raid had matchmaking bc i wana try get regulus

[pliant sentinel]

wait, true patriots?

[hybrid ore]

@plush agate #lfg-raid-pc and the GCrock server (especially the latter, hint-hint) are your best bet to find a group for it.

[pliant sentinel]

i think true patriots was the OG 3 gear sets to come out

[hybrid ore]

Can't remember, but I know 2 gearsets were locked to DH exclusively, and 2 were locked to IH.
then they changed it after a while, so you could farm them anywhere, but the BP's remain locked.

[pliant sentinel]

raid gear sets is FB and FI

[hybrid ore]

DH had aces and....I wanna say TP?

gimme like 2 minutes and I'll check.

@pliant sentinel Negotiator's Dilemma, and Tip of the Spear were DH locked.

[pliant sentinel]

oh damn i was thinking IH for some reason

my bad

[hybrid ore]

Yeah IH had FI and FB.

[pliant sentinel]

idk ih is stuck in my mind

i still have no clue how 2nd area mechanics work

[hybrid ore]

@ripe hearth You're looking for #lfg-pc, GL Agent

[silent nymph]

what active modifier should i have on the BK tipping spears

[hybrid ore]

Honestly this Season, they're all just kinda great.
special shout-out to "Say Cheese" for being able to blind a group, then almost instantly reset the timer by just killing enough of them pronto.

I'm not sure if the Minigun can stack the gearset, but if it can, Advan' Mats would be pretty nice too.

[silent nymph]

isn't advanced mats just buffs the skills and signature weapons only?

[hybrid ore]

Yes, which is why I metioned the Minigun.

Sig weapons this season are very nice, and that's without even using the gearset for them.

[pine matrix]

Good morning

Wyd @hybrid ore

[hybrid ore]

Just saying "hi" whilst I wait for my tea to brew.

[pine matrix]

Teaaaaaa

[novel holly]

is the shepherd / endorsement system currently broken?
or am i just so unlucky that no one endorses me?
after hours helping many players i am still 0/15 lol

[shut moat]

Turned off with the other thing that was dropping exotics incorrectly

[novel holly]

well.. thats explains it.. ty xD

[jagged prism]

are you calling for help or are you answering calls for help?

[novel holly]

answering calls for help

[dreamy totem]

??? Anyone have issue with connection? second time drush Rosevelt island in the middle of the mission, just STOP reacting the game... My connection is verified and working...

what the h...

[jagged prism]

i believe it's time based. say i call for help you join at the beginning of a mission and then we run it might be where you'll get endorsements kind of thing. say 10ish or 15ish minutes?

[jagged prism]

what they turned off was The Manager climax mission from last season

[tender wave]

Shepherding ranks are definitely broken at the moment, it's not possible to give or receive endorsements

[novel holly]

always over 30 min up to over 1 hour^^

[soft echo]

Will the agent inventory increase to 200 if I bought the Brooklyn dlc?

[jagged prism]

no, only the stash space increases for owning WONY, BFB and year 1 pass

[jagged prism]

yeah, wasn't sure the time frame on it. just remember it seemed least what i stated considering we had a project that gave us caretaker and just about everyone was flooding the system with calls for help XD

[soft echo]

I see, I guess I have to make my fourth agent to carry stuff.

[jagged prism]

if you got all three of those you'd have 450 stash space

[soft echo]

Mine's only at 350

Is it worth losing the ability to make a hardcore character for an inventory mule? 😆

[blazing citrus]

Depends what you value more.

We cant decide for yiu since everyone had their own priorities. Personally i have neither but id rather have a mule over hc char since i dont play hc

[soft echo]

It's not really hoarding when you just want every piece of equipment at your disposal.

[tiny oar]

thats the litteral definition of hoarding

[soft echo]

So a collector is hoarder?

[tiny oar]

whats the difference ?

[winged cedar]

Hey guys, so silly question. In The Pact season pass, how do I unlock the premium items? Do I purchase the activation bundle to get them, or do I have to buy the season bundle?

[tiny oar]

you gotta buy the pass

its 10 bucks

the other option is the pass +25lvl to speed up

[winged cedar]

Okay, so I bought the activation bundle. Guessing I have to buy the pass also? Or is the activation bundle part of the season pass?

[tiny oar]

no its separate

if you wanna make sure you buy the right one, just go to the pass and thn unlock it there

[winged cedar]

Yeah okay, I see my mistake, so the activation bundle gives me a few premium credits and the clothing items, but I still have to buy the season pass also. At least got the city rat uniform out of my fudgeup XD

[nimble mauve]

good morning agents and rogues

[noble isle]

For assault rifles. Which would be better to have. Damage out of cover or damage to armor? I normally pick the armor one.

[torpid ore]

why havent i used pestilence all these years

strikers w centurions scabbard and pesti melts so fast

[torpid ore]

dttoc is always better

[noble isle]

I've been using it lately. Feels like I've been hitting harder too. Thanks. 🫡 also, I need to use the pestie also. Haven't in a while.

[frozen relic]

dttoc is always best unless on a lmg which always has dttoc as a core attribute then chc (crit chance) is best as third attribute

[noble isle]

⚡ thanks! 🫡

[frozen relic]

no problem

[fluid meadow]

what's this game's issue with not giving me the goddamn magnum 686 replica bp

[idle ether]

yo guys ive been life farming and spamming the terminal mission on heroic for Catharsis mask and 0 drops and also cant find single named enemy on , so called foud location since there was no named enemy anywhere , like what are drop rates for that mask ? it must first drop in that mission ? cant i farm it on countdown or something ? thanks

[hollow hill]

Catharsis doesn't drop from army terminal

[frozen relic]

yep youre probably getting it confused with the catalyst mask

[hollow hill]

Catalyst mask is ass as well so

[idle ether]

ah yes im confused sorry

[hollow hill]

It's 10% per clear on heroic

[frozen relic]

Should be able to

[torpid ore]

you should get the blueprint to recraft it if youre after different stats

[fathom cloak]

so I just lost a retaliation with 3:30 on the clock while defending a control point? Is there some kind of hidden timer?

[jagged prism]

when you're in the process of retaking a control point it becomes a no respawn zone

[fathom cloak]

I didn't die, it just ended

I guess will try to record it if it happens again. hopefully it won't happen again though. It was @ Foggy Bottom, Navy Hill

[torpid ore]

yh dttoc essentially does all the damage that other damage stats give just more often

[tired crag]

is there a vc here ?

Voice chat i mean

[frozen relic]

No

[tiny oar]

wouldn't dta be best than chc?

[sterile ferry]

Nope, they were removed a while ago

[frozen relic]

no its slightly less than chc the third one shows lmgs third stat most likely because not everything has armor https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18N6f-0WX75jGCbyOr8UQTak25p8q3q_4GuyDZdIFEUI/edit?gid=0#gid=0

also could send the video from ikia as well if youd like where i got the spreadsheet from

[tiny oar]

not everything has armor but almost everything has armor tho, and dta is multiplicative, you also can get easily near 60% chc already on gear

[small spear]

chc on lmg is better than ceska

so it's the best place you can get it. if you want dta you'd take contractor

you probably have some place that you can swap to chc to chd most likely

if so then your "real" crit chance is less than 55%

[wild pilot]

server is back on now 🙂

[tiny oar]

yeah but if i take contractor andfox prayer im locked out of chest talent on striker ?

[small spear]

you can just drop fox

[tiny oar]

you'd leave out the dttoc ?

[vast lotus]

can i still get tinkerer mask from manhunt timeline and go to the previous event

[tiny oar]

not aviable until 23rd

[small spear]

yeah? it's not that impactful

[tiny oar]

idk isnt it bis tho ? that sound weird

[small spear]

you already don't take fox on AR striker, lmg is even worse cuz you have 12% instead of 10% dttooc without fox already

[tiny oar]

aight

[small spear]

fox is bis if you have too much crit like with smg, or tipping scales, or nego, or high end for example

[vast lotus]

23rd ? why

[small spear]

on striker, taking more crit is usually the better choice unless you get crit buffs from elsewhere

[tiny oar]

its bugged for now

[vast lotus]

is there manhunt timeline for exodus glove ?

[small spear]

exodus gloves drops anywhere

[tiny oar]

no they drop anywhere

[frozen relic]

bug giving people the tempest which is y7s2 climax exotic instead of tinkerer

[tiny oar]

yeah so solo you'd ditch it but if someone has coyote in team you'd keep it ?

[small spear]

probably

the difference is very minor either way. but solo the crit choice wins out by a little

[tiny oar]

aight so not a bad choice anyway

[zealous knot]

I bought division 2 with warlords of new york. my character is level 40, however when I want to go to new york the game asks me whether I want to boost? Why? Isnt level 40 the max level?

[kind veldt]

lv40 is the max, bit odd that is asking if you want to boost

[zealous knot]

And what are the 2 numbers next to the bars on the top right?

is there a story mission I did not complete?

[tender wave]

Likely you haven't finished the original story & invasion yet, so going to NY will auto-complete some content

[zealous knot]

I played the capitol then the black tusk faction appeared.

[tender wave]

Need to do the base story up to Capitol, then the three strongholds again but invaded, then there's a new stronghold that will appear

[zealous knot]

if I boost, do I lose access to some missions?

[tender wave]

Any side missions you haven't already done will be auto completed, including the hidden ones you may not have found yet

Projects too

[zealous knot]

thanks then I will do the tusk missions and see what I can find

[tender wave]

Once you've completed tidal basin the first time, you can safely go to NY without it auto-completing anything

[zealous knot]

is that a black tusk mission?

[tender wave]

Yeah that's the final black tusk stronghold

[zealous knot]

what are the 2 numbers in the top right?

[tender wave]

Probably season level and shd level

[tiny oar]

shd lvl and season lvl

[bold pier]

after playign online for a bit I kidna like the idea of building a healer build

[tiny oar]

there are multiple healer build possible, head to #td2-build-advice and check pinned comment for the community build list

[zealous knot]

Also what do the different skills do in relation to a sentry gun flamer?

[hot ruin]

just starting up the season, whats the verdict on tipping scales vs striker for lmgs?

[late finch]

Tipping scales

[hot ruin]

so i suppose you run it with the backpack and obliterate/glass chest

[late finch]

Skills do no good against the sentry flamer. You have to destroy to power. Follow the yellow cable to the power box and shot it

[zealous knot]

I mean for my flamer

[late finch]

I use obliterate.

[zealous knot]

for example if I have a skill for repair, what does it do for my flamer sentry?

[lunar hare]

nothing

[lunar hare]

I certainly can't understand what you mean

[lunar hare]

I think there's a new doc for Tipping Scales in the spreadsheet, as mentioned, it's quite new so it will be changed sometime soon

[zealous knot]

I use a deployable flamer sentry. Do the skills like "skill repair" apply to it?

[lunar hare]

Repair Skills acts on Skills like Reinforcer Chem and Restorer Hive (both have a green glint) which help restore you & your allies armor

[elder copper]

Has anyone ever actually got The Ravenous from the Dark Zone? Curious to know roughly how long it took or if it's generally considered a waste of time.

[lunar hare]

I'll answer briefly: Exotics in DZ have a 0.024% chance of dropping.

Those who say DZ is better for hunting raid exotics were lucky bastards.

[kind veldt]

most people who run raids do to help others

[late finch]

Agree. got mine doing a raid

[kind veldt]

so saying you are learning or looking for the exotic drop when looking for a group helps

[late finch]

Raids can be fun.

[elder copper]

Alright thanks guys, played for years but back after a break. Never tried the raids though so a bit clueless there.

[kind veldt]

if you want to do them just for fun, try DH and then incursion, lastly IH

thats how i would rate their difficulty also

[hollow hill]

Or trolling

[wide locust]

I need some raiders for a raid now looking for 4 dark hour s

[kind veldt]

go to #lfg-raid-console

[wide locust]

@kind veldt my bad

[elder copper]

Is that rate for just the raid exotics or exotics in general? I've been trying for a while and got numerous Pestilience.

[dim talon]

Hi guys

[tiny oar]

pestilence is common, eb and ravenous are extremely rare, people played years in dz wihtout dropping them

[hollow hill]

I've played for a while and only seen 1 ravvy and 1 bighorn so far. It's just a matter of playing to play

[tiny oar]

im a day 1 player still havent seen any lol

[dim talon]

Hey
I was playing the legacy manhunts
And i was doing the missions and i was going to made one of the Coney Island missions
But they are locked by a mission that i already have done

And i already have repeat this mission to unlock the other but doesn't work after all

[tropic sentinel]

Change other mission to normal story type and other willl work for manhunt.

If you have both set to manhunt, they block each other due to spaghetti code.

[dim talon]

Ah thanks

🫡

[tropic sentinel]

Crazy how they still haven't fixed this few seasons later.

[tiny oar]

damn, if you lose retal, cp doesnt get owner and stays white until next retal, u cant retake it normally

[tender wave]

You can, I've done it

Just turn up and summon reinforcements

[tiny oar]

well, i was on cp, no option given to launch flare

it was empty, white flag, no prompt aviable

[tender wave]

Hmm, odd. Definitely worked ok for me, pretty sure I've done it a few times this season

[kind veldt]

just walk out and back

[tiny oar]

I did travel the entire map, nothing changed

[kind veldt]

well i did have that issue but i was able to call for backup for a takeover normally

[hybrid ore]

Have you changed the map to NYC/Brooklyn? That usually fixes it for me.

[unborn plover]

I have a lot of saved builds, but I do not really know if they are usefull or not

I have one with bluescreen and protection from elites

[kind veldt]

can get some more advice on #td2-build-advice , can post screenshot also

[unborn plover]

cool will try tomorrow, thanks bird.

[tiny oar]

yeah it's white since yesterday

[hybrid ore]

Ah well, you win some you lose some.

[ebon falcon]

Does anyone know if the mosquito pistol buff applies to allies as well

[kind veldt]

if you mean other people deal the extra damage? then yes

[ebon falcon]

Yeah

Ok thank you!

If I proc it, then start shooting that same enemy again, the meter starts over. Does it stop the buff until I proc it again?

[kind veldt]

no hte buff actually stacks

the aggro part it goes by really fast

[crude brook]

I like pestilence

[bold pier]

is something going on with the servers?

[dawn grotto]

Just asking for a friend but How long is a first time temporary ban

[hybrid ore]

Most online games have them for a week or so, maybe 2.

Make sure you tell your "friend", that a permanent ban isn't just for this game, it's your entire ubisoft-connect account, so to make sure they're careful in the future.

[noble isle]

😬

[bold pier]

man I saw a cute sad dog in this game and now im thinking.. wouldn't it be great to have a companion in this game? Like warframe or farcry? I'd play the shit out of this game

[hybrid ore]

Actually, we are getting a human companion next Season.

100% no dogs, that's been confirmed.

[noble isle]

1 robot companion for me plz 🙂😃 🤖

[tender dock]

are we gonna be able to name our human companion? Got Kevin on standby

[hybrid ore]

I doubt the filters would let us give them a name.

[tender dock]

what a load of malarkey!

[kind veldt]

i expect one of each for a faction

[hybrid ore]

If the Outcast one is a rusher, that will be the quickest companion turn-over in any games history.

think flappy bird but with a bomb vest.

[royal moon]

Flamer companion.. no one can see a thing cus FIRE:D

[hybrid ore]

@broken harbor You're looking for #lfg-pc, GL Agent

[wind turret]

Maybe it be Kelso in a Chunga outfit lol

[hybrid ore]

Considering the Season will be called "Mutiny", I think we can safely assume it's going to be one of the 3 DC factions.

[wind turret]

Maybe it will be a Kelvin in a Chunga outfit 🤣

[fathom harbor]

npc needs to fk off, ass just pushed me out of cover

[wind turret]

Maybe they will give us the NPC at the whitehouse who always gets in your way near the stash

[royal moon]

out of curiosity. does anyone else sit on their 'watch scavenging' points, till they need something like ceramics or that?

[hybrid ore]

Yeah most Agents do exactly that.

Doing that, you will end up with a few thousand laying around though, be warned.

[valid steppe]

I have the same bug. There was a similar bug in the last season.
Not a perma fix but helps for a while.
Delete the folder [Tom Clancy's The Division 2] in your documents. It will allow you to deactivate pistolero in the open world letting use ammo. Do this while the game is not running

[royal moon]

yeah. i'm already up to 17 ranks. I'm just used to my watch shouting 'pay attention to me dang nab it' :D

speaking of bugs.. has anyone had an issue activating their 'global' powers? I've been running missions with a friend, and I can activate my global 'super power' (spiced up, advanced materiel) fine, since I'm usually the host, but my friend can activate their ability once or twice.. then it just 'stops working'. IF they drop group they can activate it again but if they rejoin its like 'yeah, I don't feel like working'

[valid sable]

That invaded Zoo mission with the mortars and tons of robo dogs is pretty spicy on Heroic 🥵

[summer sparrow]

So, I picked up TD2 again after being off a few years… having a great time. However, I made a colossal mistake years ago… I accidentally trashed my Dodge City Gunslinger Holster… anyone know of a way to reacquire it?

[dense saffron]

Farm countdown

[sour trail]

Hello, should the retaliations guarantee an exotic blueprint each time? A couple haven’t dropped any for me so just wandering if it’s random.

[narrow tapir]

Ok why would the word wrist be restricted or be profanity trying to use it on the clan profile.. wtf devs.. fix that crap

[fluid meadow]

if you got all exotic blueprints of a faction it will no longer drop from retal done on that faction
there is also a 95% chance for it to drop from a kill squad in heroic and 50% in challenging and even lower on hard and normal so difficulty matters too

[sour trail]

Many thanks.

[marsh cobalt]

Kill squad blueprints is 100%, clearing retaliation blueprints are not

[hybrid ore]

@marsh cobalt It's not 100% to get a Kill Squad BP.

[marsh cobalt]

You sure, every time I killed I got it. Must have good luck so 😂

[hybrid ore]

It's an incredibly high chance, but I've definitely done Kill Squads where I got nada.

[craggy pier]

Guys, I wonder why they always talk about Elma when it comes to fighter builds? And that Elma is suitable?
Because of 100 electric shells?

Why not Chameleon, which increases the chance of critical hits/damage from critical hits?

[left veldt]

What's the fastest way to get to level 30 or 40? I think it's dumb you can just boost there. I don't want to do that. Also my enemies are level 40 and I'm 13. Can you change world tier like dv1?

[jagged prism]

well, chameleon you have to build up stacks on lags, body and head while it's an AR it shoots like an SMG

[jagged prism]

if enemies are 40 and you're only 13 you'd have to return to your own session. long before warlords of new york release there was world tiers. you'd go through them when you were 30 via a project i believe? if not was just a series of missions. first you'd take on DUA while it was invaded to go up 1 world tier, then you'd hit capital building and finally roosevelt which i think put you at world tier 4, then you take on the black tusk invasion at tidal basin which would push you to world tier 5 in which you'd see the invasion everyone had to handle

[left veldt]

Strange it must have glitched as I was in my session and they were still 40

[jagged prism]

so to clarify you're not actually 40 and the 13 you see is your shd level correct?

the game scales to the highest player. so if you started to play it because a friend asked you to and they were grouped up with you, you'll be tranported to aother session where everything will be at your friends level if they were 40 and once they leave you should've seen a message pop up "return to your session?" which you'd press whatever key/button and hold it and it'd put you back in your own session with everything at your level

[jagged prism]

does the daily agitation project give us anything?

[left veldt]

Yes I was 13 and it said ^27

All back to normal now, that's a lot easier 🫡

[iron adder]

agitation

[feral shadow]

Why so many server restarts,it’s about to do it again in 50 mins as it did yesterday too..?

[signal grail]

Bro, I used to have that ancient profile pic of yours as a wallpaper back in the early 2006s damn that's a trip down memory lane.

[tiny oar]

the ^27 is a lvl boost for the session cause you're matched with lvl 40 players (13+27=40 izi maths)

[molten spire]

they changed how servers work a while back so individual servers reboot while the larger farm doesn't shut down as it does for a maintenence and patch

log out and log in again, or join someone else's session assuming they too aren't on the server being shut down

[molten spire]

Chameleon also has very poor accuracy outside of point blank range, while St. Elmo's does not have that problem

[simple skiff]

Any updates on weather or not the damage exploits will be fixed?

[kind veldt]

can you DM the @trim crag exactly what you are talking about

[eager talon]

Asking for a friend- He accidentally deleted his agent, because he fell asleep infrom on his pc (i dont know the details) but does Ubisoft offer any character recovery process?

[hybrid ore]

@eager talon Yes you can get your character returned, but it will require a ticket to Ubisoft Support.

[eager talon]

I will let him know, I think he is a member here

[thin oasis]

I do this all the time but I dont think I've ever deleted a character being asleep, thats wild 🤣🤣

[eager talon]

It does take about 4-5 seconds to hold X, then press space. Idk how thats possible

I also cant imagine how its possible for someone to just smack fall asleep on the keyboard mid game

[thin oasis]

I once fell asleep playing Dying Light 1 and survived like 3 in game days without dying which i thought was impressive 🤣🤣

[hybrid ore]

See, I told you it was a bad game 😉

[simple skiff]

Yea my buddy did the same once got it back

[thin oasis]

In my defence, I was in a group and they were teleporting me around the map when they got to objectives 🤣🤣

[hybrid ore]

Be honest, it was after the game exploded you off that massive tower just because it was funny.

[eager talon]

Im amazed that Ubisoft has a fast first reply, they are asking him for this info: To assist our development team with their investigation, please provide the following details:
Characters Missing:
Are any characters hardcore?:
Last time accessed/deletion date:
Estimated playtime:
Character level:
Estimate of XP:
Dark Zone level:
Male / Female:

[hybrid ore]

As someone who had their account stolen back in div1 times, and their character returned, I can attest that the more info you give, the faster it'll be.

[eager talon]

I cant even tell my own estimated playtime since I play between a split of 3 characters

on another topic. I wish they would just sell us more storage or agent slots or whatever, instead of just costumes

[hybrid ore]

You can get more Stash storage, by buying the various editions.
up to 450 if you own everything.

The rest is a matter of server space, according to Yannick.

[eager talon]

Yes, I do have 450.

Wait, I thought 450 was the default even for standard editions.

[hybrid ore]

Just flat-out selling character slots is honestly a bad image for a dev to do, it looks weird and greedy.
It almost never comes across as good press.

[hybrid ore]

Nope, it's what, 300, then 50 for y1, 50, for wony, and 50 for bfb.

[eager talon]

Other games like Path of Exile for example sell storage space, I cant remember if they sold additional chracter slots.

Ah so BFB gave the 50 additional slots

[hybrid ore]

My relationship with PoE is complex, but they're not exactly the most beloved dev team.

even if it is one of the few online games where I can get a ping of under 40.

[tiny oar]

i was about to say factorio dev team is great but i remember the lead dev lmao

[fervent cobalt]

If div2 functions anything like destiny 2 then the storage would also impact servers since it is all data that has to be stored and kept.

[eager talon]

I've played POE1 for maybe 40hrs and about 890hrs of POE2. I dont really like the devs vision of the game, they advertized it as slow and methodical, meaningful combat. But its still run as fast as you can and blast

I still wonder until this day how POE can offer to sell seemingly infinitestorage space, its not cheap but its storage.

[hybrid ore]

fun fact: each time you open a cache, the contents are freshly generated.
which is why it's taking so long to allow us to mass open them.

[eager talon]

I think this is true for most live service games.

[hybrid ore]

you can see this in action, if you have a bad (read: mine) connection, a slight (read: heavy) delay happens.

same goes for Targeted Loot drops. I often wait a full second.

[fervent cobalt]

Would like an auto deconstruct option or something since mass opening seems unrealistic

[eager talon]

Might be too hard to pull this off, especially if you need specific parameters

[fervent cobalt]

Would just be a time saver than finding the new stuff in my inv, i don't even check the stuff anyway

Or a mark as trash, i guess

[hybrid ore]

I will say, the stuff you get is Heroic-tier so it is nice for a newer player.

and I've gotten some fun random bits over the years.

[fervent cobalt]

This is true, just a lot of people who don't need anything. But i do like to share good rolls to lower shd levels

[eager talon]

Unless I am actively looking for something, I just hit deconstruct all instead of looting

I typically only check the mods, but I was told that 13% PFE's dont exist so I just hit Z every time.

[fervent cobalt]

Unless it is skill mods and i see an arrow it is junk/decon'd. Lost a few gear mods this way but i don't need 30 skill duration mods lol

13% does i have 1. Only max mod i have never seen are some skills and aok.

12% or 11% is fine anyway

[eager talon]

no they dont exist

[hybrid ore]

I have 2, but I also have too many hours.
It's just RNG.

[eager talon]

I do have 2 of them but they dont exist. full stop.

[fervent cobalt]

Oh right mb it was a 12.5% rounded up ...

[eager talon]

Imagine if they started to give like 12.1%, 12.2% lol

[eager talon]

I have a lowly 2455hrs, 11mins as per the launcher.

[fervent cobalt]

At one point i had skill repair 19%-20%, each number lol

I got uh 88days 8 hours 13mins, according to xbox

[eager talon]

back when summit came out, I remember there was someone using a bot/macro to host/give floor 100's to anyone that joined the party. I wonder if that bot is still around. Its like one of those destiny 2 bots that give check points.

[fervent cobalt]

Honestly hope summit gets some tlc next year. I used to love that mode back before countdown ect.

Was a big underground fan too. Just felt really unique

[eager talon]

I used to love summit when it came out, but you are correct, with CD out, there is minimal reason to grind summit. Yeah UG in DIV1 was lit.

[soft echo]

This might be a noob question but is accuracy stat corresponds only to hipfire?

[tender dock]

No, when you aim and shoot, you see that little dot on your crosshair that shows the track of every bullet? If you put an attachment on that increases accuracy, that little dot wont be jumping all over the place as much.

[soft echo]

Ohh I didn't know that

Which gun types are best modded with accuracy or stability?

[dense lichen]

They should make DZ in div2 like div1

[faint hedge]

servers down or something?

[tiny oar]

no

[spare cove]

You'll have better luck with Division 3

Cuz unless they do transit between the three DZs, that ain't happening.

IIRC, only reason people liked Division 1 Dark Zone is because it was huge.

[tiny oar]

the pb of one big dz is you can just run out people chasing you, we all remember thoses fkers 10k stamina classified gear with perma revive

they grief people hard, they aint doing meaningful damage, but you cant leave dz or disconnect cause they are around

[hollow hill]

You'll never use accuracy or stability mods with guns. It'll always be Crit mods

[hybrid ore]

Except for stability on MMR's, w/ Hotshot.

[pliant sentinel]

i need a HB build

[hollow hill]

Thanks for reminding me that exists 😂🙏

[hybrid ore]

Perfectly blind-firing headshots is always good for a laugh.

[hollow hill]

Genuinely forgot about hotshot. It's been nothing but strikers for me with retal 💀

[hollow hill]

Memento backpack, 4 PC heartbreaker (chest required), ceska piece of some sort. Use Lexington with LLP and take a shield with the artificer hive. You're locked to technician due to LLP. If you feel fruity, run Gunner and banshee pulse nearly everything. EB is fun to run with it too

[lunar hare]

brotha ughhh
try something else that doesn't eat all your ammo lol

[kind veldt]

OD

the solution to all ammo problems

too bad it doesnt mix up well with shotguns

[hollow hill]

Really? I use it frequently with Scorpio + Shield + Memento all the time and it works well

[hollow hill]

I always ensure to pick up ammo at the capture of every point lol

[kind veldt]

more that it ride a thin line with guns with small magazines

in the ye ol' times that gave flat 30 rounds it was very strong for shotguns

similar to bolt actions

if you one shot someone

dont get ammo

[wild rain]

So have y’all had 2 kill squads spawn during a checkpoint clear?

[hybrid ore]

Yes, but the 2nd one wandered off. I guess they thought it was unfair.

[wild rain]

Mine all spread out and i couldn’t kill them i ran out of time because i was wondering around looking for them earlier.

[kind veldt]

i usually only get one IF i get one

blueprints have not been kind to me

[wild rain]

So probably not doing the wondering around looking for kill squads bs again

[round laurel]

anybody here got a "hard to earn" directive stuck in your DC map?

I wonder what the devs did this time that caused this bug

[full zinc]

swap global difficulty with no directives, then swap back to your desired difficulty.

[round laurel]

only problem with that is I lost all the liberated CP

[full zinc]

goto wony first maybe

[frozen relic]

i had pistolero the intended one in wony and was able to turn it off there

[full zinc]

when last season went active, there were some directives that got stuck as well. weird bug but easy fix, and it doesnt come back

[jagged prism]

nods was great, the STD of division 2. you don't play with certain directives on, you matchmake with someone with all or most on then you finish the mission and go back to your own session. the directives that player had is now in your session

even better, when you go back to your own session you had a directive on that's not even in the seasons active directive lol

[round laurel]

yes; what a joke!

can confirm going to NY didn't remove hard-to-earn

[bold stone]

Guys I’m not seeing a claim button on the on the journey menu on my screen it’s saying Claim rewards claim them in the menu.. I’m confused

[silent mural]

God this game is absolutely amazing, wished I started much earlier though

But ay better late than never

[marsh cobalt]

Does difficulty change mats for retaliation ?

Is it faster to farm normal for caches

[frozen relic]

you get more on higher difficulty's

[tiny oar]

he's too many!

[exotic whale]

try looking at each indivindual task to see if there's a claim

[jagged prism]

this kind of thing has happened since they introduced the journeys. you may finish the journey with 6 out of 8 but you still work on the other 2 and you may have finished one of those 2

[pine matrix]

Heyyyyyyy

[slender edge]

hey whats the best way to farm st elmos engine i keep seeing retaliations or descent?

[kind veldt]

Not descent

Countdown because amount of loot and lets you buy exotic caches after a couple of rounda

The new retaliations does drop the exotic blueprint to just craft the weapon, not sure how fast is it, but every faction has a limited poll so should be fast if you focus on them

[slender edge]

thanks ill try it out cuz ive been farming retaliations for a week now and nothing

[jagged prism]

Not to mention you'll have to do enough retaliations to get the materials

[slender edge]

what difficulty is best for it

[full zinc]

on top of what was already mentioned, priority objectives with exotic reward can drop st elmo and are easy to farm

[hybrid ore]

Most people will run Retal' on Heroic, but as long as you don't go below Challenging, you'll be fine.

[slender edge]

i got it thanks everyone

[jagged prism]

People on pc can, but most will be 40 and make it effectively boring for you

[craggy pier]

Am, what?

I asked which would be better for a DPS build, the Chameleon or the Elma?

[jagged prism]

Lol, I didn't reply to you. Not sure why you're pinging me from answering blues question......

[minor dove]

Really was expecting to enjoy the game as much as i am though I'm still very early

[minor dove]

Feeling exactly the same

[jagged prism]

here i was hoping like the valentine's day, the shepard event we'd get something new

[lofty breach]

is the mastery manager mission coming back tomorrow?

[lunar hare]

on the 23rd

[jagged prism]

is tomorrow the 23rd?

[lofty breach]

gotcha. I thought it was coming the 22nd

idk why I thought that

[jagged prism]

maybe you're hopeful to run it and get tinkerer mask?

[lofty breach]

yeah i wasn't able to run it before it was disabled

well the mastery one. tired a few times on heroic but no luck.

[jagged prism]

soloing it is tough, especially considering the bug at the end

[lofty breach]

so the tempest will potentially drop from level 100 of summit on Tuesday too?

[lofty breach]

my first run was solo but ran it with a team after that.

[jagged prism]

probably part of their plan, but who knows honestly

[lofty breach]

the tweet they post made it seem like it that

[jagged prism]

considering tempest was supposed to be this seasons climax mission yet it dropped in last seasons climax. you never know what's going to happen honestly

[lofty breach]

yeah. I would assume they would wait for the summit thing but who knows since some players have got it already.

[jagged prism]

like i'd find it humorous if we run retaliation get a blueprint for it and then just have the materials to craft it

i wouldn't have the materials because i haven't been playing it much lately, and what i had i put into broken shd watches to make reconstructed caches

[lofty breach]

oh yes. def using all the broken shd watches for reconstructed caches. I like getting the blueprints but I have all those exotics already anyways. would prob never craft one anyways.

[jagged prism]

nodsshame they cost 3 exotic components to craft them. was thinking it was nice not having to use them to make the exotics, but when it came live they changed it to add the 3 exotic components being used

[eager talon]

I saw an old TD2 gameplay video where they could scope in with St. Elmo, was this recently removed?

[small spear]

yes

it was unintended

[bold pier]

im not gonna lie. it's sad that our agent has no facial expression for anything

[kind veldt]

Mine has a mask sirurgically attached to his face that i forgot what his face was

[bold pier]

man I was thinking of adding something to cover the mouth at this point

but I like my beard

[jagged prism]

same here, i'm attached to that wasp one XD

if the duck one wasn't so awkward looking i'd probably be wearing that one

[eager talon]

What is the meaning of the white/red borders when I mouse over the named sections of the map?

[unreal jolt]

did the serve restart?

[lunar nimbus]

Is there any explanation in lore on how the Banshee Pulse works technically?

Or it's mostly just hand-wave science?

[small spear]

if there is one for it there should be one for the hundreds of other things in this game that literally are magic

[noble isle]

🪄

[kind veldt]

Sonic weapons have been a weird study case from time to time

[sour void]

No lore, AFAIK, but the Banshee Sonic Pulse borrows technology from anti-riot sonic weapons used by the police, so they likely reverse engineered one of these devices to make it small enough to fit on an ISAC brick.

Sonic disruptor weapons in real life can potentially disorient targets, so that's probably where the Banshee got its story and gameplay function.

[cyan musk]

Tom clancy games tend to be as close to realistic as possible

Barring like exotic talents

[small spear]

that doesn't mean what i said is false

[cyan musk]

Yeah I'm moreso asking for examples

Aside from exo talents which are explicitly bs

[small spear]

how does having a headhunter stack let you one-shot warhounds with a shotgun

[cyan musk]

Wait what

[small spear]

yeah explain that with realism

[cyan musk]

I didn't even know that's smth that could happen clip?

It's probably a bug or maybe warhounds are secretly made of hundreds of heads /j

[small spear]

not a bug, just how the game works

[hybrid ore]

They aren't made of heads, but they do collect them.

[small spear]

this game is a rpg where the choices you make on your character affect how damage scales, so things like that happening is normal

[cyan musk]

Speaking of am I thinking abt a different game or didn't elite sniper hounds used to shoot a 5 round burst instead of 3?

[small spear]

that tends to conflict with realism, logically

[cyan musk]

Honestly I think the most unrealistic non exotic talents are clutch (the whole crit mechanic entirely tbh) and determined

[small spear]

they've always shot 3. and here's an example of one-shotting warhounds if you have hh stack before that: https://youtu.be/waWn5nhrAso?si=ssA5QOj9jIp0GqRx&t=93

[cyan musk]

I think it'd be funny if for april fools td2 team made a short event where everything is as realistic as possible (like siege level realism)

[small spear]

lol they'd have to remove most talents from the game

[kind veldt]

They originally shot one explosive round...buuuuut that caused balance issues because it would hit extra hard and bleed

So one shot protection would proc, but bleed dot would just hit you the very next milisecond

So it was instant death

[cyan musk]

They should add that for select legendary missions

[kind veldt]

I think they nerfed overall explosive bullets from the enemies

[cyan musk]

Like as a modifier for people that think legendary is too easy

[kind veldt]

Similar stuff happened with special ammo directives on true sons

[cyan musk]

I think it'd be cool if we fought a real division agent as a boss

Like with pvp modifiers and an actual build

[kind veldt]

Well keener and recruiter are the closest one

[cyan musk]

Yeah I meant like same limits we have

6 armor slots 3 guns picking and choosing cores

[kind veldt]

Div 1 hunters were more like that

They really like rolling and healing

[blazing citrus]

Darksouls hunters?

[alpine tiger]

when tinkrer be available again ?

[alpine tiger]

so why 8 cant beat 1 hunter in countdown ?

[hybrid ore]

23rd.
1 can beat a Hunter in CD, your team might just be bad and/or new.

[blazing citrus]

Depends on multiple factors

Builds
Skill
Difficulty
Etc etc

[wide briar]

@alpine tiger go on YouTube , raucey has a video on it for floor 100 hunters .Works great 5-6 seconds done deal.

[blazing citrus]

If youre referring to their 8v1 hunter theyre talking about countdown. Not summit

[tropic compass]

fast traveling from capitol to rooseevelt island is faster than white house to federal bunker lol

[velvet talon]

Oh the new seasons already dropped ? damn
what's the new exotic weapon ? is it a sniper I think ?

[tiny oar]

most stuff in div 2 dont make sense on the science side, but it "looks" futuristic so its fine

for example your bullets dont do more damage if you get another chest in real life

or maybe they do and the army is hiding everything from us lol

[zinc shadow]

considering the name i'd agree with the sonic explanation

the banshee pulse model even has what looks like a speaker on it so

[hybrid ore]

I just assumed it was a wave of sound at the exact right pitch to cause disorientation, since its name is "Banshee", those are known as wailing spirits.

Since you can narrow the cone to increase the range, it makes sense.

Like how the EMP stunning us makes sense when you remember that we are wearing high-tech contact lenses, so electricity to the eyeballs would stun anyone.

[tropic sentinel]

Nah, it's a concentrated SHD fart.

[hybrid ore]

Classy as always.

[tiny oar]

yeah but emp works on npc wearing basically no clothes with no tech and stun them

[hybrid ore]

Hitting their air-pods.

[tiny oar]

or maybe its a cyberpunk futur and everyone has implants

[quaint prairie]

is the best way to get max gear mods just running countdown?

[tropic sentinel]

For most mods you can just do what you do and it will drop.

[tardy ether]

is there a way to get thinkerer's now that the manhunt is over?

i reinstalled a couple weeks too late, lmao

[tropic sentinel]

For something like 13% pfe, legendary summit or missions when they have them targeted is better.

[tropic sentinel]

It will get re-enabled tomorrow afaik.

[quaint prairie]

gotcha tryna hunt down max bleed resistance mods

[tardy ether]

oh, nice

[agile kettle]

So everyone doing retaliation then open a cp crate, but not getting a single exotic component by that. When they removed it?

[jagged prism]

you open those during retaliations? brave person you are. i usually just loot what the NPCS drops, restock ammo then run to the next CP. rinse and repeat if more than 2 cp

[hybrid ore]

The fact that you never got the Exo Comp by opening the crate is making this way more confusing to read than it already is.

"it don't be like that but it do" kinda vibes.

[small spear]

there's a 10% chance, not 100%, that one drops

[tender wave]

You can always go around looting the cp crates after the retaliation is finished, anyway

[agile kettle]

I opened dozens of crate during retaliation or after that. Never got it, 10%? Doubt it

[small spear]

you don't see it in the bottom left list? it's not going to show in the loot list

if you don't pay attention you'll miss it

[jagged prism]

i tend to collect my components via duplicated exotics

[agile kettle]

Maybe you’re right. I can't afford to watch it

[agile kettle]

So you got it at least once?

[small spear]

yes, many times, if you get it it'll show up in that list

but as everyone said, just open them after retaliation

that list doesn't show until the messages at the top of the screen all go away

so you're not going to look at it in the middle of doing something quick

[agile kettle]

If group members are well known how to do it, we don’t need to rush, enough time to open crates, yeah but I know basically open them after event

[hybrid ore]

The idea is to do Retal' quickly, so you can do more.
the real rewards come from finishing it, not a few Heroic quality loot bits.

You already get loads of that from the gold-tier enemies as-is.

[keen osprey]

https://trello.com/c/nrReok4r/332-september-23-2025-y7s21-patch-notes

Patch notes for tomorrow are up

[agile kettle]

Just got exo component. sry my bad:p

[kind veldt]

huh siege event

[jagged prism]

yeah, was thinking R6S was Rainbow six siege, but see they fixed the tinkerer mask glitch/exploit though. wonder how many youtubers are 'OMG they fixed it!" videos XD

[keen osprey]

Little bit disappointed to see no mention of the shd level xp and season pass xp rewards not granting for retaliation completion. Its under investigation on the trello but no confirm for this patch.

[fluid meadow]

you'll get an influx of people complaining their bighorn determined streamline build isn't good anymore

[keen osprey]

I was in a group that finished a legendary in 6 minutes because of that glitch. It is not fun being carried like that

[spare cove]

Oh, thank god they fixed the incorrect descriptions for True Sons/Outcasts agitation projects.

It was annoying.

[elfin hazel]

damn the good outfits are behind the paid track

[jagged prism]

you've seen the outfits?

[elfin hazel]

I play siege sometimes

solis may be the best recentish design in ages I M O

[spare cove]

I'm more of a fan of Ram, tbh.

[fluid meadow]

i mean personally i wouldn't judge you if you used it in solo play trying to get the 1k levels from the event asap
people got more to their lives than spamming control points

[spare cove]

Also, stats and resources multiplier events sounds pretty cool

[keen osprey]

Until they nerfed her 🙁

[elfin hazel]

I'm really curious as to what the drop chances will be for f100 tempest

[jagged prism]

yeah i read that part and was like what?!

[fluid meadow]

10% for leggie is all i need

[thick lantern]

"To ensure fairness across the community, starting September 23rd, we’re also introducing an additional way to earn the pistol: a drop rate upon reaching Level 100 in the Summit game mode." Just give us the drop chance 🙏

[keen osprey]

If its only 10 percent then anyone that isnt checkpointing it to farm will have to just wait

[jagged prism]

you'll be surprised how many people aren't going to do that but still determined to get it through that method

[fluid meadow]

you just don't signal flar and go back to lobby

[thick lantern]

But like what 10% on legendary? Or heroic?

Currently it's like "you will see" lol

[jagged prism]

think inviten-b wants 10% at legendary difficulty

[kind veldt]

They usually dont give the odds

[thick lantern]

but they could :D

[fluid meadow]

can't wait to get the tempest twice on each platfrom

[jagged prism]

you're a crazy person (> <)

i'm guessing you're going to do that X4 per platform too? XD

[fluid meadow]

let alone finding a F100 checkpoint on both platforms too because i am NOT doing them

[noble isle]

Contractor gloves still drop, right?

[fluid meadow]

yes

[spare cove]

Man, days go by fast.

Week 10 is where we're supposed to play this season's Climax mission, right?

[azure lintel]

Why is five hours of maintenance the new standard?

[spare cove]

It's an estimate, just in case things don't go smoothly.

Although last few maintenances finished earlier, so who knows.

[gusty trail]

Coincidence my ubisoft account gets hacked and Ubisofts Account recovery services are currently down lol they had a data breach.

[tiny wave]

Hey folks, I'm wondering if anyone else experiences like momentary freezes while playing. All the audio still comes through, but video just stops for some seconds then starts again. Or is this because I'm Linux gaming?

[remote pecan]

yep, we'll see, maybe they'll change it with tomorrows update again
first PTS was like 11 weeks

[remote pecan]

their usual rates are 1% 3% 5% 7% 10% from lowest to highest diff

[bold elk]

anyone know how many decades does the supports reply of your escalated case regarding accidental deleted agent?

[spare cove]

During the last Event Pass, did we buy the premium track with cash or premium credits?

[tiny oar]

iirc it was premium credits for all pass

[tiny oar]

it will happen, give it a few days

[bold elk]

thnks. i was getting bored, my stuffs an full prof gears is there and shroud too. it really brokes me.

[vital cave]

Made it to shd 750( I missed few days of the xp event lol)

[fluid meadow]

750/1000
so close

[vital cave]

Ye I’ll get to 800 tonight

[alpine tiger]

When tinkerer be available again ?

[crystal crane]

tomorrow

[alpine tiger]

who say ?

[jagged prism]

face palms

[crystal crane]

check past announcements or twitter

[jagged prism]

funnily there's an annoucement in #server-status #server-status message

oh and in #division-tweets as well

[elfin hazel]

who?

[spare cove]

Yeah, who is the content creator you're referring to?

[jagged prism]

i'm going to guess it'd start with K and ends in D

[mellow linden]

surely not the banana zombie

[spare cove]

Yeah, the in-game collab is just RogueGold, NothingButSkillz, and DJTickle.

[signal lagoon]

Hi! Anyone else experience an issue where jouney mission 2 was completed but did not "count" for journey mission 8, still showing there as if mission 2 wasn't finished?

[jagged prism]

that completely cracked me up thanks

[small spear]

yes, it is fixed with tomorrow's update (hopefully)

[tiny oar]

i seen worse youtubers tbh

i remember one that was spreading hateful stuf

[dense anchor]

The YouTube people notwithstanding, I was actually expecting 3 different backpack designs entirely. Shame that it's just the colors and a logo.

[spare cove]

That born 2 guy? Yeah, sometiems the Youtube algorithm forces me to show it on my feed.

Not interested in a Youtuber who spends every week talking about how much he hates Division 2.

[alpine tiger]

Can I get lenxiton by target loot ?

[elfin hazel]

no

[alpine tiger]

how

[elfin hazel]

end of season stretch goals

[jagged prism]

probably next stretch goal

[lunar hare]

idk lenxiton but I do know Lexington

[spare cove]

Oh yeah, Born 2 Game

[jagged prism]

lenxiton is the april fools weapon don't you remember? (> <)

[tiny oar]

whats the % drop to get a blueprint on heroic on retal ? for completion

i cant find the recap im dumb

[thin oasis]

50% for heroic completion.

[jagged prism]

we were talking abou tit in #ask-td2-community #ask-td2-community message

[thin oasis]

95% drop chance from a heroic Kill squad

[jagged prism]

oh? thought it was still a flat 50% who knew?

[tender wave]

Btw, finally got that Brooklyn 'control point conqueror' commendation, you definitely can't do it within a retaliation because for some reason it doesn't count if you don't fire the flare before fully clearing the defence waves, and that's not possible in retaliation.

[jagged prism]

i feel they need to work on that watch touching animation though. done it a couple times i see the agent touch the watch and stop holding the key and hey i get to wait for it again

[tender wave]

But thankfully it is pretty easy to proc a retaliation in the desired area then abandon it

[elfin hazel]

wack I'll go try it

[jagged prism]

especially when i'm stressed about my time because of mistakes 😢

[tender wave]

Yeah it's annoyingly slow, I keep thinking I've done it then realising it didn't work for some reason

[jagged prism]

i think it's something like a lag spike that makes it look like you completed it but then catches up after we stop holding the key kind of thing

[azure lintel]

do retalliations now give xp? or is it still bugged..

[tiny oar]

retal ending reward and kill squad arent the same

i need my last blueprint its a hyena reward for completing retal but after 4 retal it still doesnt drop

[jagged prism]

yes, as Dorky pointed out to me in #ask-td2-community picture

[thin oasis]

What he means is that the two have separate pools.

The blueprints that drop from KIll Squads aren't the same as completion ones

[jagged prism]

here i just assumed it was all 1 big pool between the completions and kill squads in general. didn't think they'd seperate them that way honestly

my mind thinks the devs would've made it a very long grueling process to own all the blueprints so 50% chance regardless and all in 1 pool

now if they were to add legendary world difficulty (i know they probably can't as there's no other factions at legendary difficulty) what kind of drop chances you think they should put for the completion?

[fair citrus]

is the birdie's quick fix bp locked behind the master kelso mission?

[tender wave]

Yes

Or at least it should be, I did see someone report recently getting from federal bunker, so it might have somehow ended up in other loot pools

[fair citrus]

i just got it from a brooklyn bounty target and i never completed the master kelso lol

also the game had a gloves icon on it

[noble owl]

I wouldn't say it is. I remember getting it in one of the runs while hunting for audio logs on hard difficulty, Stranded Tanker Kelso's Manhunt was one of them. The bit where hunter spawns. I don't remember if it was there or other Manhunt mission.

[noble owl]

Don't think it's locked. Could have been thrown to general poor afaik

[fair citrus]

master diff just makes it guaranteed on the first clear afaik, you can get it on lower diffs but not guaranteed

[noble owl]

I did run it like 4 times on hard. Found a couple of ducks on the way. Didn't find a thing about it online for some reason

[tender wave]

It's supposed to be locked though, like tinkerer and provocator, so there's obviously something a bit wrong with the loot pools at the moment

[noble owl]

We need a subchannel for Manhunt-Duckhunt for different missions

[jagged prism]

the ducks or the exotic?
i forget the percentages but just vaguely remember heroic had something in the low double digits while master first clear was 100% guaranteed

[tender wave]

There are plenty of walkthroughs on Reddit and YouTube for the ducks, we don't need it here as well

[fair citrus]

its weird for sure, since the game indicated that i got an exotic gloves on the ground, and it was birdie's bp

[noble owl]

Found couple of ducks on the way on Stranded Tanker with some mask on it. But I did get Birdies backpack, just don't remember where from

[jagged prism]

thought the ducks was part of the master climax mission for theo to get a funny mask to wear?

[kind veldt]

ducks are long running easter/gag from the devs

[noble owl]

There's not a single info on Stranded Tanker kelso Manhunt for ducks. Google doesn't even recognize it. Showing me videos of Theo's duck hunt (already did).

[noble owl]

Finishing Theo's ducks rewards you a mask. Finishing Roosevelt for ducks rewards you a backpack trophy inside a yellow container with many ducks on the table. There's Oak Island Recruiter ducks all over the place, inside the trucks also, but so far fewer information on a lot of them

[noble owl]

I did it on Hard difficulty and got the hunter and the mask. Stranded Tanker doesn't have a single topic created on reddit

[jagged prism]

i just remember the only duck thing was on theo manhunt, never really seen videos or anything regarding other places. like one of the coney island parks i think it was? has a rat easter egg in it

[noble owl]

The rats with glowing eyes. You shoot the ones with red eyes and it summons Named cleaner with "Rat" in the name. Don't remember actual name, Ratto, Ratguy, Ratino... something.

Doesn't drop anything special tho

[jagged prism]

i don't recall if we get anything special from killing them though

[noble owl]

There IS one bit no one seems to have noticed, there's a stump in there with a rat, and in that stump there's a Hunter mask with a knife plunged through an eye

[jagged prism]

you see i never look for things like that so that's interesting

[noble owl]

I like to observe the details, and if there's a secret involved, I like to look carefully. Also, appreciate the design and prop placement

[noble owl]

On Kelso's stranded Tanker there's this switch near the stadium area, it's inactive, and it leads to this light source with some object on a small bit of island in the middle of oil pond, unreachable, can't remember if it did anything on normal difficulty or if duck hunting supposed to do something

[jagged prism]

you know i wouldn't put it past the devs to put those ducks in stranded but there's other things that needs to be sought out for a secret there XD

[noble owl]

You know, on White Oak for Recruiter manhunt, he occasionally spawns and you can shoot him. There's one place he spawns and there's a table with a duck stabbed with a knife. Ducks placed in some hard to notice areas. If they're there just for mocking purpose, I would presume they'd put them more visible and not behind paper boxes and stashed inside lockers

Gotta be something to it. For sure. [Insert poster phrase from X-Files here] "I wanna believe"

[languid bay]

Yall saw them patch notes? I don’t think I’ve seen better from a game in this genre

[noble owl]

Have not

[languid bay]

They just listened and surprise announced more events and more content. Yes. That is beautiful.

[noble owl]

That is very good. I will have a read on it tomorrow. Gotta take advantage of booster exp now 🤣

[languid bay]

Bungie woulda said “we hear you” and then nerfed St Elmo’s dmg by 30%

[jagged prism]

i wonder when that "vampire" thing will come to play

[languid bay]

The Halloween stuff?

Im assuming they’ll tell us about that next week, latest 2

[thin oasis]

Nah.

Bungie would have removed Strikers, Nerfed all weapon damage by 20%, killed The Managers Cat and forced you to pay £30 for the DLC.

[jagged prism]

you're forgetting dropping the 150 stash space then charge us for the extra stash space

[thin oasis]

You would have gotten that back with the DLC. But all items over the stash space would have been lost

[jagged prism]

i laugh, because i know you're serious about it

[noble owl]

EA games, charging you for every exotic 5$

"You do not have enough ammunition to shoot this weapon, additional 500 ammunition can be purchased for 1$"

🤣 I had to say it

[sterile ferry]

"But in the heat of the battle, you're more likely to"

[thin oasis]

You joke....one guy actually pitched that as an idea. "Charging per reload"

[noble owl]

Please do. For his account only

[thin oasis]

John Riccitiello. Look him up.

[noble owl]

I bet if devs would bring up skins for your SHD watch, people would pay fosho. 5$ to change the skin of your SHD watch and the device on your shoulder. Imagine, hello Kitty versions and such 🤣

[thin oasis]

He said in an EA stockholder meeting that they should charge $1 per reload in Battlefield.

[sterile ferry]

Lol i thought you were referencing the battlefield clip

[noble owl]

I guess he wants to bring realism to a whole new level. Ammunition cost. But might as well add a price on your equipment and weapons. Otherwise you're gonna go to Battle with a kitchen knife with your daddy's clothes and strip your enemies naked if you manage to kill someone. Imagine that, another player who spent real life money on equipment gets robbed after getting killed and has to buy his stuff again just to lose it 🤣

[thin oasis]

That's just Tarkov

[sterile ferry]

What if i want to undress my enemies 🤔

[noble owl]

Or day z or any other PUBG bs

[noble owl]

That is straight out sPortHub

[sterile ferry]

Freaky

[thin oasis]

Tarkov developers: "Let's make a game where nobody has fun, ever. Anyone who has fun gets nerfed and has their fun removed. Also lets make a complicated plethora of game mechanics and give them no tutorial and explain none of them anywhere"

[noble owl]

Who needs tutorials? "Well, you're an experienced player in fps, we presume you know what you're doing. If not, you will figure it out eventually." Like 7 Days to die. You're not meant to live forever. There's an achievement to die over 100 times or something

[jagged prism]

now just to be a troll i'd make a game where the keys to move are all over the keyboard not the standard asdw or up,down, left, right keys and find a way to make them always change every load up XD

[noble owl]

I remember this one game that had no tutorials. An MMO, but with a twist. You can earn money if you're lucky, and tons of people spend their earnings there for a chance to win over 100k. Your tutorials are real life people in game, they are your buyers also for the stuff you would spend HOURS to grind just to be able to buy a gun and 100 bullets for 10 in game $. And if you're still lost, tough luck. 🤣

[noble owl]

I suggested in suggestion list. Weapons jamming (with a low % of happening)

How come everyone's weapons are in pristine condition and never jams? Hyenas are literally swimming in paint

[languid mist]

about apparel event. can i get the items of all youtubers? or only one

[jagged prism]

i imagine all

[thin oasis]

All of them....it even states that in the post....

[languid bay]

And vault all of battle for brooklyn without telling anyone

[noble owl]

Ah yes. Glad I quit that game.

Like 5 years ago

[jagged prism]

my old crush's son plays it so i picked it up to try it out and i just got lost with how many times i start it up and end up in a different area each time i run the game and just gave up all together

[noble owl]

Would rather play Borderlands 2, for the 4th time... Much more interesting and funny

But hey, let's go back to Division topic now haha

[jagged prism]

it would be like if massive took bungie's approach we'd start normally, if you died during that tutorial and quit part way either rage quitting or had something else to do and quit. you'd log back in at the DC BOO then you leave and get teleported to some other mission. you leave that and come back now you're in the WONY tutorial

[hybrid ore]

Okay that's enough dog-piling on des2 for one day.

[noble owl]

Shoulda said Division 2 is your favorite game 🤣

[languid bay]

But, moving forward. Im excited for that skill boost weekend

[jagged prism]

so no dog-piling borderlands either?

[hybrid ore]

#off-topic-discussions exists.

I know y'all can't stay on the div2 topic for 5 minutes, but just give it a try.

[jagged prism]

i'm curious how that'll work out honestly

[languid bay]

Watch out bruh lol not to that game

[languid bay]

Im just slapping on refractor and capacitor and enjoying the vibes

[hybrid ore]

Banshee Pulse on the all-red setups is going to be wild.

[jagged prism]

that reminds me, i still gotta farm up 2 palisades with chc/chd on 1 piece so i can go weapon core, but chest i'm not sure if it'd even be possible to obtain a chc/chd with desired talent(s) and change the core or just keep it at armor and freely change the talent

[sterile ferry]

Attention spans are all fried

[jagged prism]

with say cheese?

[hybrid ore]

Honestly, just even by themselves. T3 pulse on literally any setup with no downsides for your guns.

[noble owl]

So I just tested my explosive build on heroic and gotta say, not disappointed. Paper armor, but clusters deal pretty juicy dmg when they're all in a group. Can't seem to find a suitable replacement for my hive tho. We need explosive hive

[hybrid ore]

If you hold down the skill button, your hive explodes.
Hope that helps!

[jagged prism]

the bleeding hive is basically explosive hive i'd say
nice one rivens XD

extra points if you're wearing BTSU and make your hive explode XD

[noble owl]

Not that. There are talents that makes hive explode now and then, I'm talking explosive small drones. Instead of stinging till you die, create explosions when they touch you

[hybrid ore]

swing and a miss.

[noble owl]

Yeah, I do have that hive but something tells me it's not good enough for "explosive damage" attributes

[languid bay]

I did not even think about that at all

Ongoing Directive might go CRAZYY

[jagged prism]

thanks a lot rivens. i might have to farm up a red eclipse build.....

[noble owl]

I would have to stuff in Status effect for hive to be more efficient at killing

[hybrid ore]

I've got a minor obsession with using Tink' on every build right now, so I'm thinking about the combos with those setups.
in particular: OD tink w/t3 pulse.

[jagged prism]

flatline and sadist?

[hybrid ore]

Sadist and Killer, I'm classy.

and also don't play with others :p

[noble owl]

Playing with others is fun

[hybrid ore]

||also, my banshee pulse is at exp 25, but don't tell anyone||

[jagged prism]

halloween outfit they get permission to put in michael jackson's all white suit outfit into the game and rivens will be wearing that to be classy (> <)

[languid bay]

Boyyyyy that setup goes crazy

[hybrid ore]

I don't think the words "michael jackson" and "classy" can go in the same sentence anymore.

[languid bay]

I use LMGs with a sadist/frenzy combo its absolutely gross

[noble owl]

I just did 2x floor 100 today on Summit. People don't listen... I soloed 3 hunters while half the group was dead 🤣

[jagged prism]

lol, i can't think of that video where he's wearing an all white suit, my mind is thinking of a different song though

[jagged prism]

did you teabag your teammates? 😹

[hybrid ore]

I'm just picturing "my favourite things", but if anyone remembers that particular version, do NOT tell anyone else. It needs to be consigned to memory.

[languid bay]

Hollow Point Frenzy rounds like 5-600k - a shot at like 1200 RPM you really just walk through content after a certain point with that build. Tinkerer probably the most creative way ive seen to encourage experimentation and give even more build diversity to the player

[noble owl]

Luckily there's no such emote in game. Thanks devs for not adding that, I never in my life did that in any game. Feels.... Unnecessary

[languid bay]

In a game that has builds so diverse and unique people run the most weird but effective setups ever

[jagged prism]

just don't look at my hybrid build and you'll be safe (> <)

[hybrid ore]

It's the biggest secret of div2 that hybrid builds are actually great, but we can't tell newbies because they'll run them with NBB.

the sacrifices we make.

[languid bay]

If you can clear content w that build effectively thats all that matters

[jagged prism]

that was my first build idea. NBB, 1 Arcabuz, 2 palisades then whatever 2 pieces but was like yeah, this isn't work right

[hybrid ore]

I can take an hour to clear Heroic w/ an all-white build.
S tier.

[jagged prism]

it did help me clear the say cheese objective quickly XD

[noble owl]

Speaking of builds. I have this melee build in mind. Saw a bunch of items to grant you melee % dmg and with Lady Death I'd be punching through elites. But that's just a theory for now, I haven't got started yet, missing claws out holster to be able to do anything about it. Haven't even figured if I'd be running a hybrid or full tank for that

[hybrid ore]

It only takes an hour because I need to keep melee'ing, since I'm running out of ammo.

[jagged prism]

i might have too high of standards. i did try this one and it felt lacking quite a bit for having just about everything to boost your melee damage

[languid bay]

Sweet Dreams

[hybrid ore]

There is one NBB setup that I genuinely love.
d50, whatever that new pistol gearset is, chainkiller.

[jagged prism]

immenence?

[hybrid ore]

yep! you'd be surprised at how little you die whilst using it.

[noble owl]

I can clear content with my tank build. Pure armor, Scorpio. BUT takes years to destroy a marauder drone

[noble owl]

I've got the pieces in stash. Just missing that one Claws Out, don't have the BP.

[jagged prism]

my harvest build is basically 3 immenence right side, claws out, chain killer and punch drunk. still tinkering the backpack talent i think. for now i think i got concussive for fun

[hybrid ore]

Yeah if you swap out that punch drunk (because: cmon, we all know), and I forget the rest.

I'm sure its around the server somewhere.

[languid bay]

I hate when i have a status effect focused build and im fighting black tusk lol

Always forget to switch

[jagged prism]

i hate that when i'm running my hh builds and chungas or warhounds come stomping out

[hybrid ore]

Take an EMP sticky, keep the fire chem.
you'd be surprised at how well it works.

remember to cheese with the EMP.

[fallow sentinel]

Good evening all

[jagged prism]

hidesi didn't bad mouth you today i swear 😹

[noble owl]

Ah yes. Forgetting to switch builds, not the first time. I have this healer build I was running legendaries, also paper armor. Finished the run, went to Brooklyn for named NPC and I thought I was in tank build. I think you can figure out what happened

[fallow sentinel]

You bad mouthed me? 😑

[tiny oar]

how is it any different than a normal headshot build ?

[hybrid ore]

NBB.

Ya know personal opinions on logos aside, tickle', your set of gear is by far the best looking.
clean design, logo less intrusive than the other 2.

[fallow sentinel]

@hybrid ore Thats what I was going for, thanks. I like a less is more look

[hybrid ore]

It's solid, and we've been needing a good solid red hat for a while.

im a mix+matcher for outfits.

[south topaz]

why devs gave limited codes for creator patch, do they think only 500 players play the game 🤷🏻

[jagged prism]

ohhhh! i was going to say i would like to see those on those anniversery backpacks and they are nice!

shame they didn't let you guys put in a design for hunter masks too

[hybrid ore]

There's already enough lore mess with Hunters without adding in IRL youtubers to the mix lol.

[fallow sentinel]

Yeah thats what i hoped for people will use if the logo isnt to intrusive also even if im not the content they like

[fallow sentinel]

Thats going to change soon I hope 🙂

[hybrid ore]

I'm not really a "watch youtubers" kinda person, but a red hat is a red hat!

[frozen relic]

i wont change what i wear but its pretty nice tbh

[hybrid ore]

We're 1 cross over away from a "ethan+hila in pd2" situation, I hope they're kept at a reasonable pace.

[jagged prism]

here i was like why bother giving a hat with a sweathoodie and different hat?

[sterile ferry]

I hope so. Making them earnable through limited codes kinda sucks. Been trying to get my hands on them for a while.. wink wink..

[sterile ferry]

Ah hell naw

[jagged prism]

true i know, but i'd find it fun wearing a red mask with tickles sunglassed face painted on the mask like that christmas mask with santa beard thing XD

[rough phoenix]

That's what I run. NBB, HF Knee/Gloves/Holster 2 pieces of Imminence Armaments Mask and Chest(headhunter) Replacing Punchdrunk and Chainkiller. More damage with the 2 IA pieces as you have the 3 Piece bonus.

[hybrid ore]

It would just look like that meme with the king of queens guy.

[hybrid ore]

it was my first thought in hearing about all this stuff.

[jagged prism]

not sure what that'd look like sorry, but it made me laugh anyways

[sterile ferry]

We have it much better here than those guys over at payday community lol

[hybrid ore]

as someone who was part of the 2016 farming team: don't I know it.

[dense anchor]

Everyone wanting this new stuff and I can't even get support to give me the New Wave Shoe backpack trophy I earned (and everyone also got) a while back. Acting like I'm trying to scam them or something lmao.

[hybrid ore]

but divdivdiv

[jagged prism]

omg, found a youtube video where he presented a couple memes of what i think what you're talking about
