[kind veldt]

Houndmaster

[tender quartz]

hmm nothing

must just be unlucky, will kill another 10 but after that I'm giving up

[frosty wadi]

Surprise black tusk boss!!!

[old spoke]

so f@ckin drop session.I don't mind if the session ends, but let me go back to the session

Can't these idiots develop this much?

[languid bay]

Its a looter shooter.

I’m playing for the LOOT.

[frosty wadi]

There are better ways to get loot

I play missions for fun

[tender quartz]

finally got the bounty and died to him on Normal. I'm never going to be any good at this game, time to quit

[frosty wadi]

Just matchmake for bounties

[languid bay]

I would personally like to be able to play whatever i truly want and have at least a minor choice in the rewards

[jagged prism]

Southwest

[cold narwhal]

This the first time I've ever seen them make big visual changes to stuff the entire years I been playing. I'm shook

[frosty wadi]

You already can?

[cold narwhal]

What does this mean

[undone timber]

As far as events go this one has been great

[languid bay]

I wish i could at least select more broad types of TL for other missions if i dont want the set its targeted to currently

Like just ars or just shotguns for example idk

I feel like CD kinda smoked how i view loot drops in this game

[undone timber]

missions make for terrible loot farms anyway compared to countdown even if you could choose TL

Personally I only find myself going back for projects or fun

[cold narwhal]

Yeah missions are garbage for TL

[languid bay]

Maybe I’m too used to Destinys old sprawling choices for loot farming. But i do wish i had better reward incentives for some missions

Coney Island is fantastic genuinely, shit looks stunning

And i really enjoyed the pentagon missions

[cold narwhal]

They should really scrap the mandatory story difficulty for those already

[edgy dome]

is the huntsman bount buged or am i just realy unlucky with the drop?

[fervent cobalt]

Think i saw someone say the drop chance for the bounty is 15%, no idea if it is true. They have no cooldown though so fast travelling around the lootgoblin spawns helps a lot.

To get 6 bounties me and my bf killed probably 2 or 3 of each dog

[fluid meadow]

WAHH I DONT WANNA FARM THE DOGS I JUST WANT THE BOUNTYYY

[rose juniper]

only need 4

[fervent cobalt]

He also got his bounty from the bounty. Since it has the same dogs

4 for the cosmetics but there are 2 bonus items not guaranteed

"Bat" drone skill vfx and i forgot the other thing.

[fluid meadow]

they made the vfx free? inconceivable

[tired nymph]

mask, outfit, backpack, trinket, gloves, patch, drone vfx, and a spray paint

I might be wrong though

[rose juniper]

ohh its random? i got thise 2 from my final cache

[lunar slate]

Anyone willing to do the refer a friend thing with me ?

[fluid meadow]

it doesn't matter what diffculty you do the bounty in or is it fixed to heroic?

[fervent cobalt]

No idea, just did heroic for mine

[rose juniper]

can do on normal. any diff

[fluid meadow]

i couldn't care less for the loot i just want the apparel

[fervent cobalt]

No that sounds right but i heard the patches were world drops maybe. Probably wrong on my end.

[rose juniper]

patches n ghost trophy is world drop, specifically green box

[undone timber]

The loot seems to scale to heroic anyway I think

Been getting very high rolls

[tender quartz]

if you die during the bounty without killing the houndsman do you keep the bounty listing and so can repeat it endlessly?

[edgy dome]

WTF then i finally have a bounty and see the target -> disconnect...

[unique delta]

Yes you can do it again if you die.

[rare wyvern]

I swear to god ubisoft support team has worse logic than a peanut, I told them that my kelso rogue outfit is missing ingame, their response isdrumroll please...... can you give us a screenshot trying to equip it. Like BRO ITS MISSING you cannot equip something thats not there

I told them I PAID for that bundle their response same

[edgy dome]

did the just removed the tankiness of the hounds?

[unique delta]

If you constantly shoot at them legs its an easy kill

[edgy dome]

they are dying way faster than 10 minutes before

[pastel forge]

Dear The Division 2 Team,
If drops are only available on partner channels, then please tell Ubisoft's Hungarian partners not to play games from other publishers at this time, and not to be partners only on the first day of game/DLC releases.
Thank you!
" 14 Days of Rewards — from October 21st to November 4th
What’s inside:
• 2 New Backpack Trophies
• 3 New Halloween Themed Weapon Skins
• Exotic & Named Caches to boost your arsenal
Don’t miss out — log in, watch Division 2 partner streams and claim the spookiest loot of the year. "

[cursive karma]

if only they had some kind of spooky shield skin too

[tiny oar]

just open another stream on mute

[hybrid ore]

Yeah just go back and hit f5 to see an updated list, and open a new one.

[tropic sentinel]

They already got your money, so no problems on their end.

[tiny oar]

support is for all of ubi games, they dont know much about particular games, which is a pain, u gotta keep going

[thin oasis]

Being a ubisoft partner does not mean they have to only stream their games 🤣🤣

Ubisoft cant force a streamer to do anything outside of contractual obligations (normally X hours per month)

[remote pecan]

the main issue with this is, they don't forward your problem, if you don't give them the info they want, even if you tell them
everything needs to be a video or some sort of screenshot, especially on the official support discord, not even talking about the account linking stuff

[rigid wedge]

I killed like 4 mini warhounds on co op and got no bounties

[tropic sentinel]

Just queue for random bounties, let others farm that crap hard way.

[tiny oar]

that's cause 90+% messages they get are people that dont understand they missed something or they just need to reboot their pc, at some point u just dont allow ressources to find something that's in front of their eyes

so basically u gotta keep going until they escalate cause pb is obviously real if u still couldnt fix

[pastel forge]

That's why those content creators should be slowly removed from the program and replaced with people who actually play Ubisoft games on a regular basis.

[thin oasis]

That's not at all how that works....

[tiny oar]

bro people play for fun, for most of them it's not their job, they arent paid to stream ubi games

ubi partner doesnt bring money

[tropic sentinel]

I don't think people even get listed in that twitch active campaign list if they play different game at the moment? And if they somehow do, that's problem on twitch end.

[simple spoke]

tbh the event makes a lot of fun

[tiny oar]

no they said they want only hungarian channel lol

[tropic sentinel]

If the dude found some random streamer on 3rd party list, then idk.

[pastel forge]

@tiny oar Of course, I know I'm involved in quite a few content creation programs, and even more people are asking me to join their campaigns. But Ubisoft's Partner Program is funny, that's all I can say...

[tiny oar]

funny how ? its a basic partner program like every other partner program

i follow a ton of partner in tons of games, they dont only stream said game 24/7

[tropic sentinel]

Are those quite a few programs from different devs/games?

[tiny oar]

they also partner of several games, they cant stream all games at the same time

[hybrid ore]

This all feels like an overreaction to having to hit back, then f5.

who cares what stream you watch, just pick one that's going to be active for how long you need it for, and enjoy the freebies.

[light steeple]

What’s the best way of xp as of rn?just trying to finish pass

[tropic sentinel]

Waiting for season bonus xp events.

[tender wave]

Priority objectives, especially strongholds. Manhunt scouts and season journey.

[light steeple]

I’m guessing convoys aren’t a thing anymore.

[tiny oar]

they exist, but not great for exp, cp4 or just doing normal stuff is way better

[pastel forge]

There are people in this partner program who do not meet the conditions they have set. I have been meeting the conditions for almost a year now, and they still won't accept me.
@tropic sentinel - I am included in several publishers' programs, and there are also developer campaigns. And I am still invited to quite a few paid campaigns, even though they are small.

[molten spire]

haven't been since season XP was split from SHD level XP

[tropic sentinel]

So this is what I've though is the actual issue.

[tiny oar]

so..... u jealous ?

like, why do u care so much they are in partner program if you dont watch them

[pastel forge]

No, I just find it funny. Compared to my other partnerships, this program 😂

[tiny oar]

u dont find it funny, you openly called for them to be excluded

[thin oasis]

Seems like something you should take up with ubisoft...rather than derailing conversation in here with off topic nonsense

[tiny oar]

just watch anything else man, its not hard

this discord isnt an open channel with ubi

[edgy dome]

why do i always get disconnected when i try the bounty?

now a queue

[iron gust]

These crowdfunded deltas are getting annoying
Lost a retaliation because of it 😠

[jagged canyon]

K so who of yall wanna bet that for that companion npc we're supposed to get it's gonne be like the mini warhound

[undone nebula]

How I put on hoodie?

[cursive karma]

but how would it go up ladders and ropes

[remote pecan]

you've never seen a big one go up a rope or stand at a laptop? 😄

[sharp tinsel]

The animation of 20% speed run from the pistol look like a ducky. Couldn’t be any better lol

[pliant sentinel]

thats how i run when i feel a diarrhea coming up after spicy food

[fathom maple]

As long as we get a mini Leopard 2 im good

[gaunt trout]

So.

30 expertise is MAX, you cannot go beyond?

is this a sign that the next update will either be div 3 or level 50

[coarse ibex]

Correct

[thin oasis]

No, its neither of those things.

[gaunt trout]

I think we can say accurately from whats at hand. No added sets or pieces or weapons will advance expertise. This means moving forward likely either a new gear tier or upgrade will be brought in, as this is the first gear release that has not played into expertise

I don't see this as goodf or bad, but I think its good info to not spend into prof of various items, if your 30 expertise and wont actively be boosting said item

It's also, purely imo, a good time to start upgrading options we've neglected, such as signature weapons, skills or armor pieces. Since we have a max number now, as long as we have excess materials, and we wont be spending them on more important expertise levels [over 30 going forward] , such as weapons

[jagged canyon]

Damn no mini warhound for me

[coarse ibex]

So no mini toaster running next to me? What a shame

[jagged canyon]

They are so cute. I was already thinking we could pet it like the puppy in haven or Lewis's dog in the castle

[thin oasis]

No.

[sour void]

So you're saying there's 5 more of these mini purple flame farting warhounds?

Just curb stomped one named Harrison yesterday.

Nicked the Quickstep off of him too, which was nice

[gaunt trout]

You'll fight all of them at once in the bounty. 2 in fact. I found ravenous left shoulder more effective at breaknig their armor, but this may be my own perspcetive. I believe rav lefts mechanic is it does more armor dmg

[coarse ibex]

Harrison ate at Taco Bell.. somehow he is the only dangerous one

[sour void]

I found Heartbreaker does the job just fine too

[gaunt trout]

also the huntsbozo is immune to status, think of it as ff ribbon, no foam, no shock, nothing

[jagged canyon]

There are multiple variations

Harrison
Harrison constantly burns Purple Flame, leaving a trail behind, which can be a real threat to agents if they're not careful.

Heidi
Heidi deploys an energy shield every once in a while, making itself immune from all damage for a few seconds.

Heather
Heather use Hunter smoke bombs on itself to disappear for few seconds, requiring agents to keep a lookout in order to take it down.

Hugo
Hugo doesn't have much in terms of abilities, but it does have green eyes and is able to move faster.

Harvey
Like Hugo, Harvey doesn't have an ability, but it is tougher as it has damage reduction in its kit, requiring extra firepower to take it down.

[gaunt trout]

also, invisiible gal turns your crosshair red when you looking at her while invisible

[sour void]

Is he immune to getting his face cratered in by my Eagle Bearer? If not, it's all good.

[jagged canyon]

I think I got Hugo and Harvey mixed up

Hugo is the tanky one and Harvey is just a basic bi-

[thin oasis]

Robotics do not have armour

[gaunt trout]

wut?

they literally take no dmg till they carapase breaks. do you means they dont have "stat" called armor, which relates to rav dmg?

[thin oasis]

What was confusing about what I said?

Robotics in Divison 2 do not have armour, their armour plates are classed as HP.

Boosting damage to armour does nothing to robotics or chungas.

[gaunt trout]

A minitank takes direct dmg from your weapon. its hp begins to dwindle after the first bullet. a dog, has a secondary value, the player cant see

this is often refered by gamers as "armor"

[thin oasis]

They're armour plates, they're not classed as armour. They're affected by health damage.

This is well known.

[gaunt trout]

^ the answer was yes, it isnt the stat "armor" thanks

going back to lurking.

[gaunt trout]

I wanted to specify something, as I took some time to login, I think it's important and relatable.

Rav specifically states in orange on the fourth section "grants +4% bonus armor and 10% amplified damage to armor plates for 5 seconds" If the miniwardogs qualify, Rav does indeed work on the hounds.

hopefully this is helpful to others going forward

[thin oasis]

Correct, Ravenous does work on their armour plates, specifically.

"lefts mechanic is it does more armor dmg"

^ That, was what I was correcting.

Armour and armour plates aren't the same thing, different mechanics and that should be specified

[gaunt trout]

I may have misspoke? the left shoulder option? I apologize if I mistyped. I see, this is a "wrong" terminology. I remember this is a thing for some.

[gaunt trout]

I have a question, which you may have already answered, but indirectly. Does Rav do more dmg to armor, not armor plates?

[thin oasis]

Ravenous deals more damage to armour plates, with the left shoulder mechanic.

It does not boost damage to armour.

[gaunt trout]

Appreciate it

That means more effective to right shoulder and just go boom on them, imo

[umbral dock]

shame we only get a houndsman outfit, would love the coat by itself

[gaunt trout]

We get the coat. Use a hat, or a mask that covers hair

it reacts to hunter masks specificaly with some variables

Agent Yeong-Ja headgear and gunner mask, is my personal fav with it.

[umbral dock]

i’d like different pants and boots though

[gaunt trout]

-_- I just want a hood toggle for hunter masks. I worked my butt off for my glowing red eye hunter mask, and its just like, nah fam

[umbral dock]

i need to get on that grind

i like my red sunglasses though

[gaunt trout]

Unfortunately, the red eye hunter mask is passed. I haven't seen a journey reward that has resonated with me since, so these seasons have been a pass for me
but there is a white mask with glowing blue eyes sometimes in store. Maybe they will bring back past season, after all the MM's retain the past season mechanics, without the modifiers option

[gaunt trout]

Hey one more question, you seem to have some inside on this. 10% amplified dmg to armor plates. Does this mean, the left shoulder effect doesn't actually do dmg to the armor plate, but rather places a debuff on the affected plate? similar to scorpio 20% dmg amp to inc sources (IE team or you)

[thin oasis]

An Armour plate is classed as an additional piece of health.

The wording states that it increases the damage dealt to armour plates, meaning each additional shot will deal more damage to the health bar of that plate

[gaunt trout]

Thanks, so it's usefull to shoulder swap inside of flipping back, when it comes to dmg

[thin oasis]

It would be more effective, to simply shoot it with an AR, which has 21% Damage to Health innately

[gaunt trout]

meaning, outside of the bonus armor grant, rav left option is almost a support, to buff teammates?

[thin oasis]

Basically

[gaunt trout]

If this is true, and AR outplays it, then I understand why rav is often spoke as niche option

thanks

I mostly use it tbh because imo, I know it's silly but the rav is the only hunter like gun design, being visually a bigger, more aggressively looking gun.

[soft cairn]

Is there a trick to get more mini war hounds to spawn? Ive been looking around in open world for 20 minutes still not found one

[kind veldt]

their spawns are consistent with loot goblins, people have made maps online for it

[pliant sentinel]

spork mode might be the best talent

[kind veldt]

running in the 90s

[fervent cobalt]

We need uncapped movement speed buffs just for one season... i wanna cross dc in 30s

[gaunt trout]

dz south, teleport, go to the parking lot to the left side facing dz, right side facing out. a parking lot with 2 sewers, front and back. log out if no dog

[iron gust]

It's kinda needed for retaliation because the running with no fast travel gets very boring

But now it's become BiS for anywhere you need to run lol
You already see it a lot in countdown

[shy flax]

I've done the bounty multiple times and have gotten so much Harvest pistols and haven't gotten a DTOOC or Determined. Am I just unlucky or they do not drop with that attribute?

[fervent cobalt]

Unlucky, it drops with both. I got a few dtooc harvests yesterday.

[obsidian dawn]

What's up with the servers?

[cold narwhal]

Delta as usual

Does anyone else feel kinda bad shooting these little buggers? 😅

They don't even do anything. I want one as a pet

[fervent cobalt]

Yes lol, the first one i seen i was like awwww! He doesn't have a weapon then he escaped as my bf was trying to kill him lmao

[obsidian dawn]

Can ubisoft please send a hot patch out? Can't achieve the bounties... Rather annoying

[undone timber]

They're not guaranteed drops just gotta keep farming

If not you can matchmake bounties and chances are you'll drop into it

[gaunt trout]

Tbh its not game breaking as far as I know. outside of running away from rng encounter, the weapon locks you into a specific pistol, not even a meta one, such as kard or harvest, it only boosts movment speed in a game where most rooms are instnced and barely 30 feet wide

its broken for pvp, maybe

If someone can define a portion of the game where timing makes or breaks it, and the timing window is so small a 20% movement trivializes it, defo consideration

A "mount" has been a long requested addition to div, and this uniquely addresses this

[dusk hull]

How did the developers know The White House was being demolished?

🤔

[spare cove]

Hey, they're kinda prescient at times. Look at 2020 back when WONY released

Lots of people talked how the Division hit harded when COVID hit the world.

[cold narwhal]

Okay good it's not just me. When you get to the bounty and all of them are there it just looks like they are having fun playing with eachother 🥹

[dusk hull]

Facts

[grave timber]

Check west Potomac Park near the black tusk mission search around and near the wall some will spawn there

[cold narwhal]

I made a joke tweet about this yesterday 😂

[grave timber]

Both probably

[undone timber]

Until they start setting everything on fire and disappearing into thin air and god knows what else

[cold narwhal]

They just little guys. Causing mischief! Innocent!

[grave timber]

Yeah division pretty much predicted COVID

[grave timber]

And they are very annoying especially the fire one

[cold narwhal]

They spawn at all the same spots the loot goblin spawns, if that helps

[grave timber]

I noticed that too

DZ loot being drop as well

[cold narwhal]

It's weird sometimes I load in and they are nowhere. Right now I loaded in and they are spawning on every damn block lol

[dusk hull]

War pups. 😂

[grave timber]

Also missed opportunity for a 0.5 chance of Lexington dropping for this event trick or treat

[cold narwhal]

The lesser known Ozzy b-side

[spare cove]

God dammit, they messed up the Legacy Manhunt Timeline menu

[cold narwhal]

How so

[spare cove]

The thumbnail images and the chronological order are incorrect

[dusk hull]

😂

[tiny oar]

it also proc in safe houses, u run faster in them if you equip it before entering lol

[coarse ibex]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ELzoMEp9xZk&pp=0gcJCQYKAYcqIYzv might be interesting for some

[harsh marsh]

Soooo the houndsman thing can we farm it or is it a one and done system

[undone timber]

You need 4 clears for all the rewards

[lyric sigil]

you can repeat as many times as you want, but for the rewards you need to complete a few times to get everything

though the mini hounds are dropping named items like candy, so it worth to farm them and use it for expertise IMHO

[harsh marsh]

What about the houndsman caches that drop the apparel

[umbral dock]

first 4 houndsman caches have guaranteed apparel drops and then the bat drone is chance

[lyric sigil]

2 caches per bounty, 1 even cache and 1 houndsman cache

[harsh marsh]

Cause from what I've seen on rogue golds channel there can only be one houndsman bounty

[lyric sigil]

nope

[jolly kettle]

Can i get bounty after complete outfit?

[umbral dock]

one active at a time, always in the same place? yeah

then you kill dogs to get another

[harsh marsh]

Oh

[lyric sigil]

yes, you can, that's what I am doing since yesterday 😄

[spare cove]

Yes, you still can.

[umbral dock]

or you just random matchmake bounties, i got the whole set in like 30 minutes

[grave timber]

You just noticed that now I been noticing that since day 1 of this season

[grave timber]

Farm

[umbral dock]

an extremely good farm too, it is raining named items in here

[spare cove]

Wait, it was an issue since day 1?

[cold narwhal]

Yep, finally getting the expertise up on all those guns I never use 😂

[grave timber]

Actually false you can have as many I had 2 and a third one drop for me during the bounty

[wicked crown]

silly Q. what is the vertical orange bar to the left of the ammo count?

[grave timber]

Yup

[umbral dock]

signature ammo generation bar

[grave timber]

Yeah saw the timeline it said Sept 1 twice I was uhhhhhh wrong date but we are basically in November

[grave timber]

Sniff sniff I smell new agent

[umbral dock]

when it’s full your next kill makes signature weapon ammo

you can fill it faster by killing in special ways, like killing status affected enemies on Survivalist

[spare cove]

Oh, you were referring to the Manager Manhunt. That was the error.

My issue is that the entire menu is messed up.

[gaunt trout]

Im not 100%, but I think even if you forget, if you actively swap the pistol, to it, while in a safe zone, it refs to your manually equipted weapon as your default

[grave timber]

It was a pain to use them especially the black tusk sniper everyone dismantle for the Nemesis blueprint

[gaunt trout]

Im not super sure, but I think so

[grave timber]

You sure I think it's in order

[spare cove]

I'm 100% sure, I'll shar you the images in DM

[thin oasis]

You could have answered their question

[grave timber]

Yeah but someone did already before I responded

[grave timber]

K

[gaunt trout]

sigh. getting a delta AS the last elite named dies in Retal, logging back in to "captured, captured "OCCUPIED, ha ha."

[pliant sentinel]

God just give me a unicorn ceska bag

[feral shadow]

Anyone else getting kicked out of game repeatedly ?

Pc

[primal nexus]

Earlier, yes. A lot of people logging on. There was always a que when I relogged. no ques now and no deltas.

[wicked crown]

very new! haha. so many new things to learn, just hit lv 40.

[feral shadow]

I was dc’d twice super close together one said check my internet the other was delta

[grave timber]

The journey starts there, building builds, grinding guns, projects, pvp, pve, and so much more

[feral shadow]

Just happened about 5 mins ago…

[wicked crown]

trying to go for a basic striker build and farming for an exotic AR. baby steps

[grave timber]

Countdown is the way to go for high quality gear best to matchmake and followed the people and set the target loot to strikers crit Chance and DMG is the way to go

[grave timber]

AR best one is st Elmo if you don't want to grind too much do retaliation best to see which faction has the blue print and see what you need

[cold narwhal]

One of the lil guys just killed a bounty for me 🤣

[wicked crown]

oh thats interesting. didnt know about retaliation

[azure lintel]

Just swapped from xbox to pc, whats the best way to rebuild my mod collection since i lost everything

[grave timber]

Yes I swear d2 players will never know the pain and effort we veterans put into grinding gear

[grave timber]

Countdown on challenging set target loot to mods and go nuts

[azure lintel]

love you man thanks

[grave timber]

Make sure you matchmake

[umbral dock]

well it’s just blueprints

you have to grind out all the crafting garbage too

[grave timber]

Yup

[azure lintel]

wait dude

i gotta redo all the hunters, istg 😭

[grave timber]

Yes but before that had to relay on luck

[grave timber]

YouTube or Google

[azure lintel]

Is the Lexington still obtainable?

[grave timber]

No

But veterans rewards are bringing a gun from d1 on black Friday theories are is the ameli can't spell it right or fully automatic lightweight m4

[vital cave]

Reached shd 900 only 100 more shds left

[grave timber]

Double xp should be coming soon but I'm pretty sure you can reach it before it comes out depending on how much you play

[vital cave]

By the event timeline it’s on 27th of November the 5x xp

[grave timber]

Oh yeah well I'm sure you reach before it comes out

[vital cave]

Probably be at 1300ish by then

[grave timber]

Or more you never know

[fierce badger]

Has there been any more secret Halloween spots found?

[grave timber]

All over DC

[cold narwhal]

Secret?

[vital cave]

I probably could get the last 100 shds tomorrow or at least 50

[gaunt trout]

I have a dumb question. this is something Iv noticed is weirdly consistent experience. Does weak armor directive have a bug where you armor just randomly explodes even from full?

For context over the span of playing division, this directive, Iv experienced a very consistent intake of dmg, that seems spcific when this directive is active. When it's not, dmg is pretty normal, but it seems to be almost clockwork

[kind veldt]

fragile armor is buggy but not in that way, what has been bugged about it is the inconsistent behaviour of sometimes the penalty applies and sometimes it doesnt when you lose all your armor, and the reverse of using an armor kit doesnt remove the penalty

[gaunt trout]

Ok, then it's perspective I suppose.

I prob just am not paying attention, and or the penalty doesnt show as a red indicator, and I just get hit quickly with no recovery helping

[umbral dock]

are you just using it for a little bonus xp?

[gaunt trout]

Im using it in foggy bottom to increase drops. I know it only increases drop rate for non loot table, but every bit helps. Trying to get Eagles Grasp with crit chance to drop

[small spear]

it increases drop rate for targeted loot, Foggy Bottom has Zwiadowka as the targeted brand right?

[gaunt trout]

I want a blue EG for 4 piece striker, EG, memento, 3 pfe, 5 crit chance and rav with dooc

[stoic sable]

hi. i am trying to do the Houndsman bounties as i have a few . but are unable to progress as i need to complete the rayburn house mission. but i am unable to find the mission again. is it possible to reply the rayburn house mission. thankyou any idea.s

[gaunt trout]

yes and no. The brand is correct. Directives do a weird thing to drops. They dont affect the targeted loot, instead, on a "natural" loot drop, they boost the drop by effectively 1 random item. not targeted. This indirectly inc the exo drop, due to a random % for every drop possibility

[small spear]

nah directives do affect targeted loot but only targeted loot. this has been datamined to be the case

[lyric sigil]

that's a side mission, those are not replayable AFAIK

[umbral dock]

this just sounds worlds worse than countdown

[thin oasis]

That is entirely incorrect.

[small spear]

i'm just asking if you confirmed that it is that brand being targeted there, if it is you're on the right track

[gaunt trout]

This was tested by a buddy of mine in summit. He was looking for pfe 13%, first he went in on no directives, then he went in on like.. 5. it was floor 90 and every boss dropped exactly 5 more items on the directive run than the former

[umbral dock]

Sample size of two runs?

[small spear]

because bosses drop 5 items always including targeted loot

[gaunt trout]

He did this for hours.

I didn't believe him till I came with him

[small spear]

the targeted loot drop chance is set on named enemies on actual boss floors

[thin oasis]

That's called RNG.

Each active directive increases the chance of a targetted loot item dropping by 3%, this is a fact.

Targetted loot drops ALONGSIDE other items, not instead of them

[gaunt trout]

Sorry for not being 100% accurate. Yes, you can get targeted. however this is only because targeted is generaly part of the loot pool.

[thin oasis]

If you target mods, and activate 5 directives, each enemy has an increased 15% chance of dropping a mod alongside their normal drops.

[small spear]

please read this: https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/comments/jg8b1y/datamined_targeted_loot_drop_chances_and_an/

bosses ALWAYS drops 5 items no matter how many directives you put on, because targeted loot drop chance is 100% regardless

[gaunt trout]

I will correct my statment, he got 5 more than the first time. per drop

[small spear]

for normal enemies the chance of course is below 100%

[thin oasis]

I'm pretty sure that link will get nuked under rule 6

[small spear]

it's being linked to by every source and even the gear sheet, i don't really care tbh, it pertains to this convo

[gaunt trout]

I have no idea how the loot table is directly affected. However I know directive inc drops, and that its not based on targeted. I have no interest in teaching others the exact science. I was merely commenting on why Im using weak armor directive if not for SHD experience. That is all.

If others want to make a discussion about exact terminology, that is their perogative, Im going to go back to farming EG

[thin oasis]

I feel like English isn't your first language, because this is word salad. The facts are already in place, you are free to google them.

[small spear]

well we do have interests in this, and we know directives only affects targeted loot, and you should have an interest in knowing this because otherwise you wouldn't claim things like this

[thin oasis]

Fact: Directives directly affect targeted loot drop chance

[gaunt trout]

I feel like you actively try to over exact every piece of info in an attempt to either make others look bad, or think that overly exact terminology is a solution. I'm going to block you, as I don't believe your argumentative direction is helpful and I find myself over communicating which I dislike.

[thin oasis]

Seems legit like you're just in here spouting nonsense and don't like being corrected. But hey.

[umbral dock]

adding a new rule

Rule 13 - Never ask someone why they are using a directive

[tiny oar]

so we can ask what you did last summer

[thin oasis]

I mean, why would you? People use directives for all sorts of reasons lol.

I use them in general because the game is too easy without them at this point 🤣

[gaunt trout]

I took some time cuz I was curious and this felt deliberate. This person hasn't recently personally targeted people in the past in an attempt to pull apart statements like "armor" and "armor plate" which leads me to believe this is someone I knew at some point.

[sharp tinsel]

Wow really? In which patch did they said it? I’ve never noticed

[thin oasis]

WHen a game has different mechanics for Armour and Armour plates, a distinction between the two is important to avoid giving incorrect information...

[gaunt trout]

I bet when you go to starbucks, and someone says "I want a large" you lose your crap

[thin oasis]

I would have to go to starbukcs first, but i'm not going to go on an off topic tangent with you.

[unique bramble]

Those warhounds remind me of he doesn't bite quotes.

[thin oasis]

They're cute and squishy

[unique bramble]

5s later: agent deceased

[thin oasis]

Since always

[umbral dock]

Aww these tiny warhounds are so cute instakilled by chem launcher or purple fire

[slow island]

hey is anyone else's game giving them a uniform error? its been 2 days now, nothin works

[umbral dock]

houndsman bounty is lowkey a usecase for strikers chest

those little stinkers are tanky

[unique bramble]

Just be careful to not become a rouge 💅 agent.

[sharp tinsel]

So what is this then? Man I’m lost I’m too old for this

[tender wave]

@gaunt trout no need for personal attacks, if you intend to ignore them then just do that

[small spear]

tldr it's just drop rate being adjusted for specific enemies

[thin oasis]

All you need to know is that targeted loot is increased with directives active

[sharp tinsel]

So farming in summit with all directives active is better than leg mission?

[small spear]

no, because of individual random drop chances being different. i'm pretty sure random drop chance is lower in summit compared to missions

[thin oasis]

^

Summit isn't great for drops in the first place either

[sharp tinsel]

Then good to know, ima try farming in summit with all directives active then, not hard with 1 shot build anyway ty

[umbral dock]

every enemy can drop a loot
every loot can have a bonus targeted drop, increased chance by directives

bosses get guaranteed drops and target drops

[gaunt trout]

Legendary affects exo drop rate, directive don't necessarily

[small spear]

but that's not what we were discussing anyways. we were just saying bosses dropping 5 items is due to bosses having preset drop rates which isn't affected by directives

[gaunt trout]

They can just not directly

[sharp tinsel]

What…. I’m confused…..

[unique bramble]

Except those faction-related exotics like tardigrade iirc.

[sharp tinsel]

I just need those dang PFE %13

[umbral dock]

the white whale

[thin oasis]

Good luck, but you don't NEED them, 12% is just fine

[umbral dock]

well i guess that’s a blue whale

[thin oasis]

So is 11% tbh, so is zero PfE

[sharp tinsel]

I wanna look like PRO players since I’ve played 3yrs and only 1 PFE 13%, I don’t wanna tank IH with my noob 12%…. Sigh

[gaunt trout]

If division follow basic mmo rules of "rng" loot table, which isn't random but we can use this term, each diffculty accumlatively affects exo rate. Directives inc the dropped loot amount. Since exos are a seperate Loot table, it should in theory introduce a new loot roll, for each possible drop the directive roll adds

[sharp tinsel]

3yrs at 13k Shd lvl yet a PRO players with 4-5k Shd lvl have 6 13% PFE….

[gaunt trout]

assuming div doesn't have a unique rng system to the general game market

[thin oasis]

5% PFE isn't going to make a difference

[unique bramble]

5yrs at 4k SHD, I don't care about about PFE so I have none 13%

[kind veldt]

i dont even remember what my breakfast was

[unique bramble]

Bird food ofc

[gaunt trout]

what 13% grants and some people do want this, is with 6 pfe 13% you reach 80% the hard cap on pfe. This means when using the pfe tank build, you dont have to use survivalist

You do, if you want 80% but only have 12%s

[sharp tinsel]

It does…. Tbh ppl always ask those with PFE 13% for advice or other thing like such PRO man and am i jealous? No just being sarcastic……

[gaunt trout]

whether 5% makes a big diff isnt important. I will say common stat values are worth less at the beginning of a stat climb, as well as in the middle. however once you get to about 75-99% percents start making a huge diff. same as at 40-50% and 20-30%

an example of this is in pve 80-90% hazpro will usually work fine, but in pvp, even at 95% hazpro your gonna die to the 1 tap fire sticky build. Iv seen this happen.

[sharp tinsel]

Only in IH outside raid, hazpro isn’t useful. Even as a backfire main spec, I don’t use hazpro ever but I’m sure 80% of players will disagreed with me

[gaunt trout]

my pvp build has 100% hazpro, but tbh I don't do dz anymore because it doesn't work against cheat. Iv been stunned by inifinite elmo cheat, Iv had people find me, kill me then literally come out the door at my spawn immediatly.. while using 100% pulse resist

but in general I dont use hazpro either outside of decent or a specific need or HC. most pve isnt life threatening and the stat is very resource draining when you could use others.

[sharp tinsel]

Yeah I’ve never PvP, even in d1. Only PvP I’d play are either LoL or WoW and since these are out of div2 discussions lol

[azure lintel]

Anyone understand the statement from massive today? They laying people off but also shifting focus to division franchise?

Anyone know why I can’t get all attachments on my pistol and my lefty ?

[zealous hollow]

hey

returning player can anyone help me get a understanding of what ive missed the past year

[kind veldt]

what exactly you mean, a slot is somehow blocked?

[azure lintel]

Yeah on my lefty the magazine is empty and can’t choose anything

[stable sand]

Anyone got same problem no more getting bounty from killing mini dogs for houndsman ?

[vital cave]

It’s not guaranteed on a kill you gotta keep killing them till it says a bounty have been added

[stable sand]

I am killing them like for hours after i got 4 bounty did all of them after that don’t get anymore i still need bat and the mask

[vital cave]

Try matchmaking bounty

[stable sand]

Yeah i will do that 👍

[azure lintel]

Maybe I’m missing a bunch of attachment blue prints?

[kind veldt]

while i havent checked mine in a while my lefty did have attachements there, and what pistol is having the issue?

[azure lintel]

Can’t pick anything for the iron site

[dapper goblet]

Where can I get the Confusion because I didn't get it

[kind veldt]

the what now?

[kind veldt]

are you using a translator for an item name?

[dapper goblet]

Well, now I need to get the Confusion drop and I can't find it anywhere.

[azure lintel]

I’ll send you a picture via dm since I can’t in here

[kind veldt]

use #ask-td2-community

[gaunt trout]

turmoil?

the one with the confusion icons

[dapper goblet]

Yes

[gaunt trout]

Its an event, while you can't get it normaly, its been known to drop during post season crate grind. a grind that has a large number of exos, unavialable event items and named items

after journey concludes the last 3? seasons we've gotten a crate grind for a few weeks. turmoil drops or is rewarded during this

[dapper goblet]

Can I get it in the current event?

[gaunt trout]

I dont believe so. Ity purely an event item, I havent seen any lexingtons, turmoils etc

It was mailed to people who logged in during the april fools update. it was limited, but has dropped during post season crate grind.

[dapper goblet]

Can I also drop it in seasonal power plant boxes?

[gaunt trout]

Im sorry, I dont know. I believe the crates granted during post season grind were unique. as it was the first time in my knowledge people talked aobut lexington drops

[kind veldt]

last time people were able to get was during last season stretch goal event

[gaunt trout]

Lexington has the same status as turmoil currently, meaning its event only, unobtainable outside of said time

[kind veldt]

this season might have another one, but we dont know if lex and turmoil kneepads will appear again on the event

[jagged prism]

no, only time you can get turmoils is probably be stretch goals, basically goign 101-110 in teh season experience

[gaunt trout]

also if this is returned, which bird shot hinted isnt necessarily true, this will be during an event time after the season weeks conclude. you can't getto 100 and then start

[jagged prism]

well, duh? but just throwing it in there that stretch goals is 101-110

just saying stretch goals they might not understand what that means, but throwing in the 101-110 part will make a bit more sense to them on what we mean when we say stretch goals

they've done that for what 3 seasons so far? i honestly don't see them stopping it really as it's probably fairly popular to players, especially the new bros to get things most players already have

but if they do that this season that pool will be fairly diluted adding quickstep to the pool so the lexington/turmoil will be pushed down further

just thought of this, will be really diluted if they add the drone Bat VFX to it too 🤔

[gaunt trout]

is quick step an event item? or is it like cooler?

as in loot golbin will drop it

I could be wrong, but the bounty is a drop from mission reward, but quick step is loot?

[iron gust]

Both are event items
Which will not drop after the event is over
And only be back once another event starts

[gaunt trout]

Cooler consistently dropped on holiday loot goblin. we had one back in uh... july?

but I think the important detail is that turmoil and lexington never drop, but quick step does. this doesnt mean anything, just current game state

[remote pecan]

I really hope they make it available after, I just can't get over another Lexington/Turmoil situation.

[valid sable]

i keep imagining people that somehow miss this event, and are in result always left behind by everyone 🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♂️

[remote pecan]

they just need to hold sprint 😄

[jagged prism]

pretty much right?! then just after the event ends they come in droves "can we still get quick step?"

[iron gust]

Both were initially grants
Just dropped into the stash

[jagged prism]

nods until they decided "hey let's throw them into the stretch goal caches!" lol

[languid bay]

Is survivors standalone? Idk if im thinking too hard but them seperating Survivors and the division 2 game means something right

[jagged prism]

only info i heard so far is that there'll be a PVE and PVP mode, but doubt it'll be a stand alone. will probably be just another game mode and speaking to the pilot to take us there for Survivors

[frosty wadi]

For me the best thing to come out of survivors is the potential loads of new cosmetics

Fashion gaming is gonna go wild with tons of big jackets

[gaunt trout]

Ima need my neo outfit brutha

with dye able options

[languid bay]

Idk man this shit sounds bigger than any of the previous 2 expansions we got

Whole maps redesigned inside out, PvE PvP modes whole 9

[gaunt trout]

reads past reddit notes on brooklyn dlc fortelling

[frosty wadi]

Even better now that we have the ability to take hoods down too

[frosty wadi]

I mean, its still technically the same map

[jagged prism]

just like roguegold stated, i pretty much wanted to shout with the pve and pvp modes. i was mostly afraid it'd be a pvevp like survival

[cyan musk]

Should I farm prio's or challenging cd for pestilence?

[frosty wadi]

Like yes I don’t doubt a lot of new stuff is added but it ain’t like Brooklyn where they had to build an entire map from the ground up

They have the layout, they just have to change parts of it

[tiny oar]

prio are faster but also random

[jagged prism]

both work, which ever you 'd feel more comfortable with

[tiny oar]

so cd is best for specific loot

[jagged prism]

remember the underground stuff is getting expanded as well

[cyan musk]

I suppose the question is which is smaller the pool of exotics or the pool of lmg's

[languid bay]

A lot of parts of it. Brand new weather effects, and they’re redesigning a lot of interiors/adding different playable spaces. Thats a lot of work.

[jagged prism]

oh don't forget Retaliations, think a pestilence bp is in there

[languid bay]

It was already difficult for them to get snow in the game

[cyan musk]

If I craft it do I still get the recal bp?

[vital aspen]

What’s the best place to run into those Halloween hounds?

[jagged prism]

i've had good luck with dz south enterance (big door icon), jefferson trade center, roguegold mentioned dcd headquarters as another popular spot

[vital aspen]

So within the missions themselves?

[cyan musk]

Dz south jtc dua and tb

[cyan musk]

Nah near the entrance

[jagged prism]

no clue, i've had all/ most exotics before these optioned turned up so i already had the recal bps too

[vital aspen]

Thanks!!

[jagged prism]

the missions is more of just a "Fast travel point" really

[cyan musk]

Also does pesti ignore armor for the event dogs?

[jagged prism]

so you fast travel to jtc. do a 180 and go into the street. if your radar turns red then either go south or north until it shows an indicator if nothing fast travel to another place and repeat

[cyan musk]

I wanted to get it as a way to speed up farming the beginning part of the hounsman bounty now that I have everything I want from the bounty

[jagged prism]

honestly it doesn't ignore the armor from what i've done, but just makes it less shooting if you can make it keep going on those ticks

[gaunt trout]

prio are random. cd can be set with target lmg which will hlep\

[umbral dock]

since they’re immune to every other debuff, pestilence is pretty good against them

[gaunt trout]

also pesti is the fastest dropping dz exo, if you want to try that route

[umbral dock]

not that pestilence is a debuff, it’s wacky

[jagged prism]

tried zealot on them? (> <)

[gaunt trout]

it is possible use vile on them?

I know their immune but like... hm

[spare cove]

? Survival always had a PvE or PvP option, so I don't know where you got that from

[jagged prism]

how would you put a status on t hem if they're immune to statuses?

[cyan musk]

If you reflect damage to an enemy using nego would pesti's talent apply stacks to them?

[jagged prism]

i played it plenty. survival in div 1 is a pve and pvp so pvevp never an either or option

[jagged prism]

sadly no, it'll only go on the one you're shooting, after that dies it'll bounce to random targets and tick down until completely gone or bounce again

[gaunt trout]

gonna test oxi

[jagged prism]

trick is keeping them inside the oxi

heidi is still immune to it too

[twin nacelle]

Keep getting delta during bounties.. incredibly fristrating..

[cyan musk]

Not enough servers

[jagged prism]

it's the newest feature they added this halloween event (> <)

[gaunt trout]

so. its convoluted? I have "show dmg numbers on" but oxi didnt make dmg come out, but he lost hp

[cyan musk]

Also tip for the dogs the flamethrower completely ignores their armor so running that with advanced materials quickly kills them

[gaunt trout]

vile+ flamethrower

[jagged prism]

i just use the minigun and before it goes off all mini hounds are gone XD

[cyan musk]

Can't burn

[twin nacelle]

Well.. It is what it is I guess..

[jagged prism]

again how do you get statuses on things that are immune to statuses?

[cyan musk]

The flamethrower won't burn them + robot enemies are immune to burn anyway it just has really high raw damage without a need to aim well

[gaunt trout]

I was basing that on emma comment, but they specified, it wasnt burn, I guess flame thrower has innate dmg?

[cyan musk]

Yes very high damage that ignores the dog's plates

[jagged prism]

if you go the technician route and use the assault turret it was pretty effective for me. the drone goes poof though a lot

[cyan musk]

At level 5 am and max damage upgrades it deals around 1.4mil per 3 ammo

Using an ar and shooting the legs is a lot faster but the flamethrower removes the need to aim

[gaunt trout]

rav takes about 2 swaps to break the armor

[jagged prism]

well, you got your head on vile for the mini warhounds #td2-general-chat message
which i did answer your question by replying to you about applying statuses on them #td2-general-chat message
so not sure which part where "they're status immune" you don't understand and then you're like "vile+flamethrower" still dismissing the status immune i've been telling you about

[gaunt trout]

if you start with a blue charge, empty 2 reds, 1 more blue and 2 reds

[cyan musk]

Okay but we're not talking abt breaking the armor

[gaunt trout]

stop. I already said "emmas comment, I guess it has innate power"

[jagged prism]

btw also that's good to know

[cyan musk]

Rav is probably like the only gun that can realistically break their armor bar a hh determined build

[vital aspen]

So I keep shooting those hounds until I get the bounty?

[cyan musk]

It works on all robot enemies

[kind veldt]

huh i thought dogs had immunity to fire damage, including flamethrower fire damage (not talking about burn status)

[kind veldt]

yeap

[cyan musk]

Nope it ignores their armor entirely and quickly melts them same behavior is also had on the fire turret

[jagged prism]

yes, you're looking at top center for a "bounty added"

[gaunt trout]

I didnt even know fire dmg exists -_- I thought burn had... burn dmg type

[jagged prism]

tried tac50 on them just to see?

[kind veldt]

you know how elite outcast rushers explode and leave a big fire pool that just melts everything?

[cyan musk]

I have never actually used the sniper spec

[kind veldt]

thats fire damage

[jagged prism]

@kind veldt i might have to try merciless on them hounds to see if they accidently put the explosion to health damage again (> <)

[gaunt trout]

ok... so. their immune to all elements... but can take fire dmg? but fire dmg doesnt affect you if your hazpro 100%?

so confused

[cyan musk]

I usually use gunner for the aok but for the event use am flamethrower for the armor ignore bc it hits in an aoe meaning at the beginning if the bounty you can kill the group of 4 at the same time

[kind veldt]

Fire damage causes burn status effect, they are immune to the status effect

[gaunt trout]

OH

[jagged prism]

pretty much, you can be 100 hazpro but still just take the fire damage but just don't just have that damage of burning over time effect applied

[cyan musk]

Also not useful for the solo dogs but nego reflect ignores armor in the bounty

[gaunt trout]

so.... weird followup, is this like how in MH series, the status element is based on a meter, the meter goes from X to X (1-10) after it reaches "10" burn iniates?

[kind veldt]

I think here is guaranteed on just being hit by fire damage

[cyan musk]

Sort of in my testing it takes 5 rounds from the flamethrower to ignite an enemy

[kind veldt]

No buildup

[cyan musk]

That isn't true at least for the flamethrower it takes 5 ammo to burn

[jagged prism]

no, eclipse protocol is what's usually used for burning enemies you just hit them wtih say a fire sticky or the fire chem luancher and they get ignited then if they die the last of the burning effect will pass on until it finishes it's entire burning time

[gaunt trout]

cool, ok so this explains why back in the day when I didnt run memento into cd, sometimes the hunters would ignore my riot foam, without a roll or the directive box active

[cyan musk]

Hunters naturally have really high haz pro if your skill tier is low enough the duration probably got zero'd out

[jagged prism]

they probably had that haz pro uh modifier where you interact whatever they're "protecting"

[gaunt trout]

this happens in pvp so yyy ty!

[cyan musk]

Iirc on heroic hunters have a natural haz pro of like 65%

[gaunt trout]

Iv found tier 2 foam with 30 expertise is almost 100% takeing in rolls and directive box

tho whether cd hunters have some stats as story or encounter hunters is questionable

[jagged prism]

don't think expertise 30 on riot foam increases the chances you can foam enemies just probably increases the duration a smidge

[gaunt trout]

I think your right, but I needed to add it in case since I havent been hyper aware of the success till after I expertised it.

[kind veldt]

I think it increases foam health

[gaunt trout]

most of what I know about div 2 is first hand, either seeing or doing. stat tables, loot table, gun math arent my forte. just mental dps and visual awareness. not so good at stuff like, "that value doesnt affect"

[kind veldt]

So it takes longer to break

[jagged prism]

so kind of a extremely short duration? (> <)

[thin oasis]

Neither, you should stop grinding for Pestilence. It's not good enough to dedicate a grind for iut

[cyan musk]

That isn't very helpful nor what my question was in the slightest

[thin oasis]

It's helpful

[cyan musk]

I have basically everything so I'm kinda at the fafo stage of the game

[jagged prism]

in other words. dorky is saying it's an exotic component (> <)

[thin oasis]

^ That

[gaunt trout]

this was explained a long time ago that they both translate to the same thing. a hunter uses fowm health to determine how long they struggle. I cant remember, there was a whole discussion of what was stronger duration or foam hp. it was proven one was better

we have 2 diff mods for it, which sparked the whole debate

[cyan musk]

Counterpoint it's fun /nh

[vital aspen]

Oké, just died on the Huntsman. Any tips for gear? Just (blue) Striker?

[gaunt trout]

I actually would perfer to have pesti on HC, it tells you where people are without pulse, and its super good chall and lower

[thin oasis]

Doing less damage is fun now?

[kind veldt]

Avoid skill builds, and status effect builds

[cyan musk]

I find using nego and playing scared in cover is efficient

[cyan musk]

It's a goofy gun with an even goofier talent what's not fun abt messing around

[kind veldt]

Also due the nature of the dogs, stuff like determined cant be used to cheese him

[gaunt trout]

use a weapon that poisens everyone with their own medicine and watch their dieing screams... or hold down left click on elmo+striker

[thin oasis]

Stop using Blue cores, they're making it harder for you

[gaunt trout]

I need a pesti now

[spare cove]

Gods, I don't like the St.Elmo

[radiant prism]

anyone else getting delta-3'd every 15 minutes? game was stable for me yesterday

[jagged prism]

you'd be surprised how effective it can be if you want a sort of not doing damage with the gun but the talent route it provides XD

[kind veldt]

I saw that

[cyan musk]

Elmo is such a lame gun

[next meteor]

how do i get the seasonal bounty? i've hunted five of the little dogs but haven't gotten one

[thin oasis]

I mean....no?

[spare cove]

Try random bounty matchmaking

[cyan musk]

I get it's insanely powerful bc of the mods and mag size but it's just unfun

[kind veldt]

Just keep trying, the bounty doesnt drop on the ground but ot gets added to you automatically in the menu

[gaunt trout]

its soooooooooooo boring. insane mods, even now, shock effect, even more broken than riot foam, lmg ammo clip, MOAR AMMO, the stablity of an lmg with shield compability. so trong it trivilizes the game

[hoary juniper]

Is the server down? or is anyone having issues connecting?

[kind veldt]

Guess server might be having issues

[hoary juniper]

You too bird?

[cyan musk]

Too many people are trying to play

[gaunt trout]

to each their own, div is play your own way. but if Im going to enjoy a game, that gives me ez, hard mode and middle... questionable diffculty. Ill take mid, just for replay value

[spare cove]

I wish we were in November 11th already

[gaunt trout]

servers are kicking people. was in a hunts, all 4 of us got booted

[kind veldt]

No, because you are the third in a short time asking about it

[thin oasis]

why do you continue to make things up and spread things that aren't true?

[jagged prism]

new feature to the game

[gaunt trout]

game said touch grass bro

[cyan musk]

I'm not making stuff up too many people are playing bc of the event causing server instability causing crashes

[thin oasis]

Again. No.

[cyan musk]

If less people were playing there wouldn't be so many people having issues

[jagged prism]

no it's probably things they'd added that's causing the crashes, especially the houndsman

[gaunt trout]

this is a consistent effect of most mmos. games I have played where the dev team straight admitted this. ff14, swtor, wow, aoen online. no idea here, just this is a common issue with mmos

[spare cove]

I'm just so focused on November 11th

[thin oasis]

Again. No.

[cyan musk]

Since you're so all knowing what is it then?

People are trying to offer potential reasons for an issue effecting a lot of people

[kind veldt]

Im just going to intervene and say to both drop it

[cyan musk]

You aren't being helpful saying no without offering any alternative reasoning

[cyan musk]

Alr

[next meteor]

is it AWS?
also always been a big pesto fan @ set i only use other Fun weapons when i'm running ammo limit modifier and run out
baker's dozen with increased mag makes me happy

[kind veldt]

This is becoming a daily occurance at tgis point

[cyan musk]

What is?

[kind veldt]

Im having to intervene at minor bickering

[cyan musk]

You wouldn't have to if people could let other people have fun in a game

[kind veldt]

And my memory is bad, so if i having to remember that, it aint good for no onr

[cyan musk]

Idk why so many people treat this game so seriously tbh

[next meteor]

shrimply shrimpossible

[royal moon]

haha. ok I hate the houndsmaster

[kind veldt]

Well amazon did have that issue couple of days ago, hard to say if anything now is still on them or just the game

[cyan musk]

Does div use aws?

[tiny oar]

almsot everything use aws

they are that huge

[next meteor]

afaik it is still going on
idrk much about aws i just remember last time this happened it was in tandem with a couple other things and the internet chugged for like 4 days

[thin oasis]

If it was to do with server numbers, it certainly wouldn't affect Div2 🤣

[spare cove]

19 days till November 11th.

[jagged prism]

i'd say a bit of both. think what amazon went through wouldn't just go away in a day so we're probably still experiencing it just not as badly where we weren't able to connect

[twin nacelle]

Killed over 20 dogs and still no bounty. It has to be bugged...

[lyric sigil]

did you check in map - bounties?

[jagged prism]

you went to southwest for bounties? no Houndsman there?

[twin nacelle]

Yeah I checked.

Only got to see it once when I joined a call for help

Maybe rngeesus just hates me? Lol! Got a christmasbackpack, a watergun and like 10quicksteps as wall as a sniper that makes heads explode with fireworks lol

[jagged prism]

nods that's some serious bad luck, maybe buy a lottery ticket? (> <)

[astral jacinth]

I’ve put Quickstep in almost all of my builds already. I like the run animation, reminds me of me

[jagged prism]

you ever notice you have it equipped then go in safe house you keep that animation going?

someone had to mention that for me to understand it works in those. i truly hope they don't take that out

[proud shell]

It's just a "Chill players the game will continue, the content on TD2 will continue and you eventually see The Division 3 in the future (1 year, 2 or 5 years more)"

The problem its the amount and quality of that content

[jagged prism]

is that how you read that message? all i see is they're moving people about in their company. who knows what other games they have going on, but just more of a reassurance that division is still in the top priority. don't see anything about laying people off in their message

[royal moon]

haha. I just got a quickstep with 1% pistol damage.. 2% damage to out of cover. I'm kinda tempted to keep it for how low it is :D

[jagged prism]

i should've kept a few to joke "this is god pistol drop" just to troll people with the gun but i dismantled them all

i'm just hoping the decorations bit isn't stopping at halloween and of course the visual effect skills. november we get turkey drone complete with gobbling or maybe seeker mine? 🤔

seeker mine might be funnier. npcs running and dodging gobbling sounds?

oh even better. nonutnovember when we reload out guns we get moaning sounds 😹

[hoary juniper]

What were the orange and turquoise bounties for?

[vocal halo]

quest and project ones i think

an clan shared ones

[ornate reef]

What does a fresh character give you after you max out a previous character?

Like Benefiting

[azure lintel]

Maxed out police m4 with damage out of cover and optimist, god drop?

[kind veldt]

Pretty much

[fathom cloak]

Can you get a lower difficulty version of the houndsman bounty if you already have it?

[azure lintel]

Howdy

Had to set up a new Discord because my other one got hacked by my ex, so now I'm here.

[calm token]

For those of us using PlayStation we will keep waiting. Network has been down for 3 days now. 😩

[azure lintel]

I had issues connecting too recently, first time I've seen a Uniform-01 error

[tender wave]

More storage, more loadouts, can repeat daily/weekly projects and raid/incursion loot

[calm token]

Was able to download the update but then not able to connect and play. Seems unrelated to TD2.

[azure lintel]

Oh, that gives me a bit of fear as I'm currently downloading that update

[calm token]

I wouldn’t worry. Downdetector has been reporting a lot of PSN issues

[azure lintel]

Ah, so maybe it is just PSN currently, that's unfortunate to hear 🙁 I hope you can connect soon.

Man these crit chance gear mods are not looking bright for me

[tough grail]

Has anyone else been put in a queue?

To enter the game at all i mean

[jagged prism]

yesterday i think? when i got booted from houndsman, logged back in and was in 40ish queue joy

[cobalt moss]

Hello it’s me again: Has anyone failed at getting the bounties? I still kill those things and no houndsman bounties show up in my map. I even started doing the normal bounties to see if it’d make a difference. I’ve killed over 15 of the little war hounds! 🙁

[jagged prism]

so you goto southwest bounties and no houndsman? that's some serious bad luck there

[cobalt moss]

No man it’s insane to me. I’m gonna play with a friend tonight. See if I join his game and makes a difference

Like I have 0 bounties in that area and in the other areas no “houndsman” like you guys told me

[jagged prism]

like i said seriously bad luck
houndsman is static to southwest
you can probably mm random bounty and it'll be the houndsman right now

[cobalt moss]

If I play with a friend, and we do it together I’d still get the reward yeah?

[jagged prism]

why wouldn't you?

[cobalt moss]

Yeah man, Ubisoft is targeting me hahaha

[cobalt moss]

Don’t know man, bloody bad luck, I expect the worse hahahahaha

[jagged prism]

mm=Match Make

[cobalt moss]

I’ll try it later tonight

Thanks dude

[jagged prism]

after my first solo kill of him, i matchmade the rest of the outfit

[cobalt moss]

……

Then I got some real bad luck

[fluid meadow]

The lion matchmakes and lets the team do all the work

[jagged prism]

think it took me 3 tries?

[cobalt moss]

That’s crazy man, I’ve killed like 10-15 of them

[jagged prism]

3 tries was me fighitng the houndsman

[cobalt moss]

Literally after every kill I’ll look at my bounties after I pickup the loot, and nothing shows up.

[jagged prism]

i probably killed 10-15 expecting a "bounty drop" and not seeing a thing, then out of pure luck i noticed "bounty added" at top of screen was like ohhhhhhhh, went to Southwest had like 4 bounties stacked up lol

[cobalt moss]

But I should see a logo of a bounty there right?

[jagged prism]

yes, if you goto bounties in your map and down to southwest you should see a Houndsman bounty listed

if you gotten any that is
otherwise you have to watch the top middle screen for a "Bounty Added" after all your other stuff

like if you got a season level, a shd level kind of deal

[bronze ice]

Has anyone else been getting delta alpha and bravo errors this evening in UK 🇬🇧

[warm bronze]

yes

[kind veldt]

people were having issues earlier today on PSN i think and some in PC

[bronze ice]

I had an hour of no errors then boom 1 after the other so I give up lol

[steady igloo]

is the serveur of division is down ?

[jagged prism]

can't say as i haven't tried playing today. logged in to get a screen shot of the end of the season for someone and logged off

[kind veldt]

not sure, but lots more people having issues this couple of hours

[unique bramble]

What is a serveur? 🤨

[steady igloo]

game server

[jagged prism]

english might not be their native tongue as well or like i like to do is fat finger keys i dont' mean to press.....

[unique bramble]

Maybe that is what happens with the 'rouges'

[jagged prism]

what?! i typed it earlier and bot is like "you can't post this" uh ok?

[fluid meadow]

The bot doesn't like the color

[jagged prism]

no clue maybe the wording i'm using? literally adding an ing after fat finger triggers it apparently

[kind veldt]

dont do that

too many auto mods and we are not responsable what happens

[jagged prism]

yeah, so was just like uh ok? but like i said maybe the shorter message with that word probably sends it as mod please stop this person

[bronze ice]

Im done for the night off to sleep as I'll get woken up early by my daughter lol

Hopefully i can play in the morning

[dire patrol]

Curious, why during retaliation does the striker drone auto attack animals? Deer, birds, rats, etc

[kind veldt]

rabies

not the animals, our drones have it

[jagged prism]

the robots don't like living things? maybe if there wasn't a block it'd shoot us too?

[kind veldt]

jokes apart, dont know

[dire patrol]

It only happens during retaliation. I guess everything is an enemy 🤷

[jagged prism]

imagine pestilence ticks (> <)

[dire patrol]

Ahhhh, ticks

Has anyone seen seven rogue agents during a mission? Happened today during Pentagon mission. Four in group against seven. Not decoys either. We were like "whaaaaaa"

[jagged prism]

yeah, they happen randomly. missions, control points, even just wandering DC/NY/Brooklyn but i think they're usually +1 to how ever many in a group usually. 4 person group so 5 rogues least that's what i remember encountering

[dire patrol]

Yeah, I've never seen more than five

I thought it was a Halloween surprise or sumtin, lol

[kind veldt]

their number is your group +1

so max you can have is 5

[jagged prism]

i'd imaigne you had 2 that ran a decoy

[dire patrol]

Unless decoys can move now. Also DARPA mission had a HVT stuck in ceiling where the striker drones come from. He kept deploying a Defender Drone. I thought it was a glitch so I ran it again. He was there again

[jagged prism]

ah ok, no clue then, ilke i said it's usually +1 to however many in your party. so you might've ran into a new feature in game (> <)

[shrewd oak]

What the hell is going on with this game right now

[jagged prism]

new features

[frozen relic]

Lots of new features

[rough sleet]

pumpkin carving at table 4, don't miss out

[shrewd oak]

Is there connectivity issues or just me

[keen kayak]

Anyone just have Heidi never leave spawn and then just disappear?

Sucks when you find her a few times in a row

[wicked crown]

How am I supposed to damage those hound things? I'm a fresh lv 40 and they always escape with 70% hp left

[jagged prism]

shoot faster? head to #td2-build-advice go into the pins and choose a weapon damage build, i'd suggest Strikers to start off with

[compact ridge]

js looking for ppls to stream game to if anyone down

why im not in lfg cuz unless u want im not tryna team up

[ripe hearth]

The drop rates in the game are trash. They need to up the drop rate from bosses and the loot from creates at the end of the raids and incursions

[lunar hare]

No they don't, if they did what you suggested then what's the purpose of RNG?

[unique bramble]

We don't have a MASSIVE idea about that.

[novel kestrel]

just came back to the game after sometime away last i played wony was new, now my question is iv seen people using the artificer hive and its exploding every few seconds, how do I get this?

[azure lintel]

Never had so many game crashes in my life for this game 😤

[wise basalt]

@novel kestrel artificer is part of the technician specialization, u just gotta equip it

[burnt dragon]

Is anyone else having issues connecting to online services im in ps5

[nova kestrel]

seems fine on pc

[novel kestrel]

yeah read more of what i wrote im looking to make it explode not just use the thing i know the stinger one shoots out little homing needles but im witnessing explosions

[burnt dragon]

I did just Download a new update 🥲 ill try restarting

[nova kestrel]

is it not the new vanity item

[novel kestrel]

are you talking about the ghost skin on the store now? cuz its not what im talking about

[nova kestrel]

yeah thats what im talking about ive not seen anyone use it yet thought it might have been that

only other thing i can think is that its a exotic thing or a gear thing but its nothing ive ever heard of or seen

[novel kestrel]

ah its a named chest with perfect explosive delivery

[wise basalt]

@novel kestrel 'yeah read more of what I wrote' - that's a great response to me just trying to help out. considered my lessoned learned not to respond to your question next time.

[burnt dragon]

Restarted and still nothing 🥲 I'll try again later then

[cyan musk]

Aim for the legs if you're struggling use advanced materials plus flamethrower

[novel kestrel]

sorry if my response seemed snappy.

[nova kestrel]

hahah

[nova kestrel]

its just perspective on how someone reads your message dw about it

[wise basalt]

he could have just asked how do I make it explode without the smarmy foreword

[nova kestrel]

well i mean if you read it the way he thought about it would have understood that like i said perspective

[kind veldt]

look it was just a small misunderstanding

let's not delve deep on small stuff

[wise basalt]

well if he had equip it like I said in my response, test it around. isn't that the whole point of playing video games, to figure stuff out and have fun with it

[kind veldt]

they were asking about the explosion part which they saw when someone was using artificer

[wise basalt]

not to mentioned there's also a shtton of utube videos that talk about the artificer hive

[novel kestrel]

im aware of the skill and what it can do what threw me off was it exploding like a grenade and googling that dues not get you much but basic info on the skill it self

[kind veldt]

you are clearly missing the point

better just move on from this

[nova kestrel]

appreciate you @kind veldt

i saw that

[nova kestrel]

so what is the named piece called then just out of curiosity

[novel kestrel]

Combustor

palisade steelworks named chest

[nova kestrel]

cant say ive ever come across it tbh i probably have just dont remember it

[novel kestrel]

so many new things. its kinda exciting and the hub changes for the season is somthing div has needed for a long time imo

[nova kestrel]

im not too interested in skill builds tbh other than the btsu medic skill build

[novel kestrel]

iv had that build in my loadouts forever using 4p futer initiative with btsu gloves

[jagged prism]

that's a shame. you'll struggle with hollywood then maybe?

[halcyon hemlock]

Any PS players getting the UNIFORM-01 error?

[nova kestrel]

if im ever doing any weekly legendarys i typically use my foundry bulwark build and try to take agro from everyone else so they can just focus on doing dmg

[nova kestrel]

there was another guy on ps struggling to get on earlier

[nova kestrel]

this one

[novel kestrel]

oh with that new quickstep pistol love that thing already

[halcyon hemlock]

@nova kestrel Thank you for reply.

[nova kestrel]

nah with the mosquito pistol and the new high end gear set that gives 100% increased threat

[jagged prism]

so you're basically NBB your tank build?

[nova kestrel]

basically forces every single ad to shoot me and ill use the artificer hive to keep my shield up and then depending on how my teams managing ill use the catharsis mask if they doing ok and if not ill use the tardigrade chest

[nova kestrel]

NBB?

[jagged prism]

well, you mention legendary foundry bulwark then you're saying immenence for threat so only way to manage both is NBB (Ninjabike backpack)

oh nm, i get the 2 and 3 mixed up on it. 3 is for pistol damage my bad

[nova kestrel]

oh sorry yeah ill use that to start with n keep artificer on cos it usually keeps my shield up if not ill drop NBB and the immanence and use catharsis with 4 piece foundry and then picarios for a bit of dmg on my pistol

i used to play on xbox mainly but i switched over to pc so im tryna make all my builds again

but yeah for legendarys i always use foundry i just switch about with what i use depending on how my team is doing weather i need more shield or if they are dying etc

most of the people i play with (randoms) usually end up being alright with the 4 piece foundry 2 piece immanence cos they aint getting shot like at all n if htey do end u pgetting shot its cos theyre in some wack ass place

only one i have issues with is manning national zoo because of that one section where its a massive open area so everything is too far away for me to shoot with my pistol

[drowsy pewter]

I just learned that the talent "sport mode" from the new pistol "quickstep" can be extracted and added onto your library

[cyan musk]

Bug doesn't actually do anything

If there was an exotic pistol with the effect of allowing you to run 2 exotic armor pieces do you think it'd see play?

[drowsy pewter]

Memento with max stacks + Nimble 🤤

[cyan musk]

#theonlythingtheyfearisyou

Tbh realistically in that scenario I see coyote plus dogs being slapped into every build under the sun

Or ninja bike being actually viable

I could see the meta being overdogs/coyote plus ninjabike plus 3pc gearset plus prov piece

[drowsy pewter]

Does the provocator work on PvP? i like to think of nimble and provocator... (i really love the nimble holster)
i even run it on a red striker build!

[cyan musk]

Or with the fact od uses the chest over the bp it could be really strong

[cyan musk]

It does work in pvp but with the massive damage multipliers in pvp it isn't worth it

You'd be better off using tardigrade for bulk

[drowsy pewter]

Was wondering if it'd be a good idea but i remembered i use catharsis...and losing a good amount of dmg for a decent DMG resistance would be a bad idea, plus yeah- damage multipliers-

[cyan musk]

Catharsis bighorn umbra is standard for pvp afaik

[full mist]

@trim crag

Anyone else getting kicked with delta-03 when doing the houndsman bounty

[kind veldt]

First you have to DM the modmail for it to work, second the last couple of 4 hours or so some people have been reporting general connection issues

[jagged prism]

@full mist someone's been naughty

[kind veldt]

Not related to bounty just in general

[jagged prism]

but yeah, it's been common since amazon had some issues, so probably still feeling the effects. maybe weekend we'll get some stability 🤞

[mellow girder]

is countdown dead now due to the retal targetted loot?

[jagged prism]

no countdown still better

[mellow girder]

i was searching challenging for 10 minutes, maybe halloween?

[jagged prism]

perhaps or still having the after effects of amazon downtime. couldn't say honestly

[languid bay]

LOL

[jagged prism]

but yeah, i think houndsman getting all the action because it's different

[languid bay]

Does that end on the 28th or when the entire event ends?

I saw the text box but i wanna like MAKE SURE

[undone timber]

After the 28th houndsman caches won't drop anymore

[jagged prism]

it'll be some kind of event cache that drops just the houndsman mask, vfx drone and something else

[tender quartz]

if I have a houndsman bounty how do I start a matchmake for others to join me?

oh ok there's an "activate and matchmake" option

[fickle edge]

Is the new exotic pistol worth building around?

[dire ravine]

Have gotten so many deltas since the update

[fluid meadow]

if you wanna have fun with a car door

[tiny oar]

servers are at.ax capacity for a while so bugs are expected + aws shortage

[formal mortar]

Ahh I just came in to search for that one, not just me then? Fortunately I have Bulletking which meant I could finish them all off but that was very annoying, and confusing! 🙂

[burnt dragon]

Anyone know how long the servers will be down for consoles? I just checked again and it still not connecting

[keen kelp]

Ngl feels nice dropping the bat mod for the drone in the first 4 bounties

[pliant sentinel]

thats nice jennie, whens the new single

[late token]

Anyine else not getting loot from weapon cache?

[twin nacelle]

this is getting old! Be it in the middle of a bounty or fighting a huge clash with several elite and named mobs.... delta03!!

[crimson osprey]

I don’t blame you delta 03 and I get along really well. We chat more often than not about life and the existence of existence stems from curse words to how I hate this game and how I love it best convos ever.

[high heart]

can you only get the tinkerer from the manager mission? or can you get it from general mask pool?

[cursive karma]

when there's a lot of delta-03s, I limit my time spent grouping since that seems to make it worse

[tropic sentinel]

Only manhunt.

[shrewd violet]

Hey Agents, does anyone has a list of the big yellow caches that can be opend with the SHD Tech points? I´ve been runnig around but I´ve still 5 points left and cant find the one missing. Someone help, pls.

[jolly stag]

playing bf6 in brooklyn and im like, wasnt i just here?

[gaunt trout]

"building around" is a funny way of making a pistol with swap speed then making sure your build doesnt use the pistol whatso ever. oooo Im dumb, this was about an exo? oops

at least that how I built... "around" it

Im assuming your speaking of tempest... I doubt it. the reason why, temoest needs the shield to break, which means if your not "currently using it" you have to swap, if you are your gonna eat a disorient. Im not sure if you can disable shield disorient with HZP. also, its not a one shot pistol and the buff is limited. If I had to take a gander at dev mindset, it designed to be used with tinker

[remote pecan]

no you can't get around disorient with hazpro and the pistol isn't meant to be build around shield break and I highly recommend not doing so

[gaunt trout]

Im not sure how it could benefit outside of that. "tempest: Restrianed - Deal 25% Amplified Damage for 20s after your shield get broken." its a 93r variant making it the hand smg. it also has weirldy high stability

It doesn't look like the amp stays if you weapon swap, but worth checking?

[remote pecan]

the devs stated, that it is just a nice bonus if your shield breaks
and it's not intented to build around that, there was a lot of discussion on the pts because of that

[gaunt trout]

right. So, I thinks its ment for tinkerer. Not a suggestion, just imo

tinkerer requires you to use 2 mainhands that arent exo or named, and that leaves pistol as the unused exo slot, additionaly I think it was released with tinkerer, but Im not that much in the know

[remote pecan]

yea usually you don't waste an exo slot for a sidearm, but with tinkerer you're kind of free to choose
but then why use the sidearm, when you don't really profit from it

[gaunt trout]

it might build around the holster exo, the swap one, and it might build around that one set. the weapon swap one

if you were determined to have some fun with it

[gaunt trout]

I have several builds that actively alternate between various options. my favorite one is my 4 piece striker, ceska chest with hh, 5 cc and Ces 1 hs stat, 3 pfe, memento, sharpshooter specialist, sr-1 sniper, bighorn and either a back up broomstick with brazen, or a kard custom with perpetual. foam and crusader shield skills. all red core

[remote pecan]

you can do a pistol build with it, but it is really mediocre imo
you lack survivability to make it really work, you'll have a tanky shield to work with, but currently especially solo, you get surrounded pretty easy on higher difficulties, because you have to get close (12m optimal range) to really profit from it

[gaunt trout]

it lets me determined 1 tap, big foam drop, spam with crit bighorn, one tap with brazen shotty. lots of fun. also sets up determined with 1 tac 50 bullet

but now it has a car to help it get around so no more super foam or brazen -_-

Im a huge advocate of play your way not meta. Meta is essentialy to me, ez mode. its so strong it trizializes gameplay. an example is oxiing the turrets in incursion. I use to use decoy, distract enemies, use emp on turrets.. now someone sits in spawn and ends the first objective before a first runner even knows what it is

[tender wave]

There's one in each safehouse in Brooklyn and Manhattan, but that's all. Pretty sure there's more shd tech in the game than you need to unlock everything though.

[gaunt trout]

so was in a group, huntsman

heroic. I noticed the enemys were beginning to melt... I was like.. wat? turns out one of the team mates was running a no stack, contractors/foxs ect all red pesti build. the dmg to dogs was noticable

[rare wyvern]

Soo after mesisng around for 4 DAYS with ubisoft support over rogue kelso bundle thats missing ,they sad they aint gonna return it because i bought it with premium currency

Thats straight up stealing

I gave them proof of purchase of my premium curreny and even a pic of outfit missing

I dont know is there anyone in this discord associated to ubisoft to help me with this sht

[undone timber]

Nobody that can do anything about it

[rare wyvern]

@undone timber wait so they can take my bundle THAT I PAID FOR and do nothing?

[undone timber]

I'm not in charge man I just hang out here😭

If support won't help you then you're SOL, can maybe try opening another ticket?

[rare wyvern]

@undone timber I had a ticket open for 4 DAYS just to get an AI response

[tender wave]

Just got to keep pestering them, they're the only ones who can do anything

[tropic sentinel]

Tell them that you want to buy more bundles, but are afraid that it will happen again.

They should fix it in 5 minutes max.

[minor kiln]

been getting a few delta 3's today

[gaunt trout]

unironicaly quiality

make sure to not burn bridges with support btw. Iv always approached from understanding and not blame and I donmt have weird interactions like some online

[violet canyon]

So whats everyone farming hounds on? Challenging? Ive killed 10 with no cosmetics or bounty drops so far

[lyric sigil]

If you mean the mini warhounds, they don’t drop those. Those are from the caches after completing the houndsman bounty

Did you check map - bounties in Southwest?

[violet canyon]

Ya I just noticed it was adding them for me, I was expecting to have to pick them up (the bounties)

[lyric sigil]

I assumed, most people thinks the same 😁

[violet canyon]

ya because thats normally how bounties work lol

[lyric sigil]

But it’s only a message on the top of the screen “Bounty added”

[violet canyon]

yep and if you have a big TV, you dont notice it lol

[lyric sigil]

This one works differently, no bounty drops to pick up and no auto-activate bounty, compared to normal bounties 🤷🏻‍♂️

[violet canyon]

are people mostly doing the bountoi on heroic or challenging?

[lyric sigil]

It depends on what you get, you can’t change that.

In my experience it’s most of the time challenging, I had 13 yesterday and only 1 was heroic, the rest was challenging. Though it’s a hunter at the end anyway 🤷🏻‍♂️

[pliant sentinel]

can u do something bruh 🤙🤙🤙

[formal mortar]

I run the world on Heroic.

[tender wave]

It depends what difficulty you get the bounty on, I think. Should scale with your world difficulty.
Apparel rewards are the same on any difficulty so just go with whatever you like

[pliant sentinel]

the ghost hive sfx looks good

[umbral dock]

does the number of named weapon drops scale with world difficulty?

from the hounds and the man

[gilded pine]

What is with this stupid Huntsman hitting for 2 million on normal???

[umbral dock]

yeah he does a little damage

[gaunt trout]

lol hes immune to diffculty

bro said, nah fam we balling

[gaunt trout]

the drops are specific weapons so no

they are elite quality. BUT it will drop pruple if its loot pool

meaning, the loot drops based on enemy type, like various named, will be elite, but likely youll get 1 or more targeted loot for the area. that one adjusts to world diffculty

Im having a mental moment.

What happens when you use "Vile" then 4 piece EP, with red core and status effect subattributes, with pesti and.... lets say emp pulse?

it is understood pesti doesnt combine with vile, specificaly

[tender wave]

Yeah pesti doesn't count as a status effect.
Emp will apply vile damage (prob not to huntsman/mini hounds as they're immune though)

[gaunt trout]

so in theory. pesti will dot enemys.. then on use of emp, itll spread after the death due to EP? emp vile effect

Iv never used skills, but I recently decided to use pesti, as someone has... made me notice it. am testing potential uses

[umbral dock]

no
pesti is not a status effect and does not interact with status spreading or duration or damage in any way

it will jump to 1 different enemy in range on death, but that is part of the exotic perk

[tender wave]

If they're emped at the time of death then the disrupt will spread from EP and proc vile on the new targets.
But disrupt doesn't last long so you've got a very small window to kill them

[gaunt trout]

I specifilly said, pesti is not the vile dot

[gaunt trout]

thanks. this answers it

[tender wave]

Pesti is irrelevant to the situation generally, it has no interaction with vile or EP

[gaunt trout]

so prob better with a group, since Ill lack crit potential.

[tender wave]

Overall your damage will be really low though

[iron adder]

It's not good with anything

[gaunt trout]

the reason I mentioned pesti is this build will specificaly employ red cores, for pesti. which will affect vile, but not as much as yellow core, as it will nerf the emp

[umbral dock]

unless you are building for it, the pesti ticks suck

so you’d have bad vile damage and bad pesti damage and bad emp duration

[tender wave]

Vile is just generally low damage even if you go full in on status and explosive damage. It's ok for speedrunning Story difficulty but that's about it.

[gaunt trout]

the purpose here is pesti dot/red cores, and vile dot emp, with red cores and status effect boosting grenade and skill dmg. which fuses with vile+emp (not pesti, this is an additional meachanic)

[gaunt trout]

outside of striker, since pesti draws specifically from weapon damage, how does one build for pesti. Im guinely asking

[umbral dock]

pesti scales off uhh

where’s the image

[gaunt trout]

weapon dmg

[tender wave]

Weapon damage and total weapon damage: eg 3pc lengmo

[umbral dock]

more than that

[gaunt trout]

30% lmg dmg hm.

[tropic sentinel]

Sounds like a waste of time. If you want to spread statuses then use proper EP build.

[umbral dock]

30% LMG is weapon damage, red cores are total, and i believe glass cannon and overdogs are damage amps

which all affect pesti ticks

[gaunt trout]

alright. Ill prob build it anyway, for fun. or farming low diffculty events. thanks for the info on pesti builds. I have maxed all my builds, so just am goofing on potential pesti uses

[kind veldt]

pesti is okay to soften large grops if you are solo, not so much to get kills

i sued it a bit when speedrunning, using pestilence and turmoil kneepads to hit enemies that were behind walls or still in weird spawn points

[gaunt trout]

one more question. I tested in shooting range. as striker climbed in stacks, the pesti dmg did too. is striker stronger than leg x3 build?

[umbral dock]

pesti ticks:

BASE x (AWD+SWD) x TWD x DTA or DTH x DTTooC x AMP

[gaunt trout]

ooooooooo TURMOIL

[umbral dock]

striker amp does not affect pesti ticks

[kind veldt]

it's not something to pull out in a group

it worked solo because of the scalling not bieng a problem despite turmoil

[gaunt trout]

Im going to test it again, and get a chat stamp. I could be mistaken.

[umbral dock]

your bullets are certainly increasing from strikers, but not your ticks

[gaunt trout]

so. not sure where to put the ss, but the tick went to 100k, to 350k

this is purely ticks, Im not firing at all

[umbral dock]

the ticks themselves spool up, yes, that’s how the perk works

[gaunt trout]

am I confused?

[kind veldt]

you can post screenshots in #ask-td2-community and #td2-build-advice , honestly it should probably move to build channels at this point

[umbral dock]

shooting applies a stack, max of 50 stacks, damage of a tick is your base times all the stuff times your stack count

[gaunt trout]

yyy, the result was striker doesnt help, and the inconsistent missing 10k, is likely just the last tick being questionable

which is a known issue in div, some speedrunners have stated this apply to striekr stack and I personaly have seen it a LOT with hbr stack

actually the wierdest thing. is striker doesnt count, but it is recorded as WD dmg. also... when I was testing the potential of tip of the spear and vile, striekr did boost grenade dmg and signature weapon dmg (I forget this last part)

[formal mortar]

Hmm at a control point, says to give signal but I can't. Another known bug? Is there a maximum number of CPs I can control at once in DC?

[gaunt trout]

I wanted to make a chungus build, but I needed to learn how grenade dmg worked cuz I needed to fabricate the white tusk hive dmg

[tropic sentinel]

Make sure you are not standing under some object.

It can be couple extra bugs as well.

[formal mortar]

No I'm out in the open at the Washington Monument, don't think I've ever had this bug before... I do need to reset them to retake Foggy Bottom for the manhunt so I guess now's the time to do it!

[gaunt trout]

theres a super old bug "mechanic" where it says "no friendlys avaivble to help" I forget how it fixs but I think you have to go help a few skirmishs.

[tropic sentinel]

Is CP marked red?

[tender wave]

There's no max, you can control all the CPs in the game, it's likely an obscure bug.

You can always try to spawn a retaliation in a specific area to avoid losing your season buff, but that takes quite a lot of luck. Easiest to join someone else's game who doesn't have everything green.

[umbral dock]

i’ve had this happen with Ivy Tunnel

the CP flips to white, but i can’t summon help or they get stuck and never come

[rose juniper]

any chance theres gonna be a hotfix anytime soon since we seeing lot of issue with apparel mask and hoodie clipping and also broken single strap?

[tough grail]

Are you able to get memento from Countdowns?

[gaunt trout]

OMG pesti can replace blue screen for white tusk hive affect OMG

ahem. not screaming with excitment.. thas cool.

[tropic sentinel]

I highly doubt they will go through each individual apparel piece and readjust it.

[unreal jolt]

is there a way to open those apparel caches faster or in bulk?

[tropic sentinel]

Use animation skip and optionally make a macro so you can open while afk.

[gaunt trout]

you can press x to open them, then fast swap menu with q then back to e. this doesnt work great on controller, but on m&k you can hover the crate. this works on apperal crates too

[formal mortar]

I went to the next red CP and that let me call friendlies to take it.

[formal mortar]

No it's white, I took it myself when it didn't give me the option to call for reinforcements.

[tropic sentinel]

Yeah then it broke. Sometimes if you travel away and back it can fix itself.

But keyword sometimes.

[gaunt trout]

ok. so if I use pesti for chungus white tusk hive, and I have reflect shield and 93r for Zoo chungus, gunner+ToS for chungus weapon, and mop+gunner for the weird event a true son chungus throws his bazooka away, for a vile replace... catharsis? with death grip gloves? for regen hive? then I can use gunner banshee for dua chungus pusle.

dua chungus inflicts dmg with that pusle... I might have to forgo that, for build limits 🙁 cuz the loss of blue screen, means I dont use chem launch reinforcer for effect pop, which with vile, is just the dua boss pulse

brain hurts

[tender wave]

Memento maybe for default bt chungus heal hive

[gaunt trout]

I thought, but tip of the spear backpack is like super needed. tip isnt that good in general, but this is for rp

um.

does perpetuation, boost vile dmg? yeh it does

[jagged canyon]

Not to hate on the Houndsman. I love his mask having no holes and the paint to indicate he's actually blind

But man what I wouldn't give for a hunter mask with a jack o' lantern paint job

[twilit moth]

Did they fix the bug where you could have the technician’s linked laser pointer without having to be invested in the rifle weapon damage?

[cyan musk]

for the potomac hunter do I just have to shoot the light or is there more to the puzzle?

also tips for the group of four in the coffee shop

[kind veldt]

anything that can stun them should be used

[frigid heron]

Was the best way to farm rogue agents?

I really just need two haha.

[tender wave]

Summit, get to a floor that's a checkpoint, not a boss floor and has a closed door blocking the exit, then jump from lobby to floor repeatedly until you get the 'Rogue agents detected' notification.
Or just run CPs.

[cobalt moss]

A BOUNTY FINALLY SHOWED UP ONLY TOOK 24

[cyan musk]

what does explosive resistance even do?

does it like reduce damage? does it reduce flinch? does it do nothing and is just sort of a bs stat

[kind veldt]

Reduces damage taken

[jolly kettle]

Tomorrow its a new events what its all about play missions, more damage and so on or ? like its been written short info

[tender wave]

You just get more crit all the time, do with it what you will

[gaunt trout]

I use it in hard core. a lengmo chest with 1 explosive resist subattribute, and watch is 40% ex resist. its highly effective. reduces dmg noticabley and even boosts sheild survive

[cyan musk]

oh neat I'm just asking bc it's the last defensive stat on my watch and I realized I have 0 clue what it does bc the only other piece I've used with explosive resist is sawyer's

unrelated but sawyer's is honestly really underrated on sniper pvp builds

[kind veldt]

Its a half decent piece

I think first person to solo legendary used it on a shotgun build

[cyan musk]

for redline overdrive does that chc overcap giving 85% max chc or will it hit the same hard cap as usual

wait nvm I'm stupid

[undone timber]

Sawyer's is an okay piece but sitting still generally gets you killed

[cyan musk]

sawyer's is best in conflict from my testing it can be okay in dz and is generally garbage outside of one shot builds that don't need another piece

[cyan musk]

for week 6 do strongholds count for the invaded missions?

[jagged prism]

i don't recall, but should as it's an invaded mission

[sullen blaze]

The reason why the recording of "Operation Hunt at the Crossroads" is not playing at the Potomac Activity Center is unknown.

[gaunt trout]

tidal basin is always treated as invaded

[cyan musk]

I was asking specifically abt capitol

[gaunt trout]

the others need to be activated and the week has to be that one. such as zoo or dua.

[cyan musk]

but if invaded it counts for the scout?

I gotta get my invasion done anyway and I figure might as well kill 2 birds with 1 stone

omg

I was mid boss fight at capitol and I got a delta

[gaunt trout]

is this year 7? because in week 6 of year 7, invaded isnt a requirment

[cyan musk]

the pact week 6 mission 3

clear 2 invaded missions

this is year 7 season 2

[gaunt trout]

in theory yes, an invaded stronghold counts as a mission.

[kind veldt]

if it's against black tusk then it's considered invaded

for the strongholds

[gaunt trout]

its just named different for the playerbase not game requirments
