td2-general-chat

[surreal mural]

no, less. 13-15 mins.

[low quartz]

What yall think about the next season

[unique summit]

ok let's say 15 mins + 3 mins for matchmaking and loading stuff

[delicate wasp]

I'm on it constantly, I'd play it even if there was no drops/loot or even tokens

[surreal mural]

dk, next season isnt here yet.

[unique summit]

Ok here's the real test: which song is your favorite?

[slate spoke]

Saw the pts about the companion stuff.... looks very interesting! Can't wait to try that out 😛

[delicate wasp]

Its so quick to get a match on challenging, lately when i start a mission I almost get to the end before one or 2 players join

[unique summit]

Official soundtrack:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4gkAda61Nk

[south topaz]

I bet that companion will die faster than anything

[stark heron]

Only backup requests I've been seeing are hard difficulty or openworld

I guess it's just prioritising lower end missions?

[slate spoke]

didn't even know Division had a soundtrack lol.... always listening to my own music

[delicate wasp]

Any song that makes me tap my feet 😁

[unique summit]

Agent Extraction is 😙 👌

[delicate wasp]

I turn music off on all my games

[unique summit]

Monster.

[hardy rover]

if its a pvp game, understandable

[hybrid ore]

Sort of off-topic, but there was a mod for Payday 2 years back, that added the Raid tracks of div2, as ingame ones.
In case you're not familiar, pd2 works by splitting up the tracks into sections that play at certain times, and Dark Hours/Iron Horse work weirdly well for those.

[hardy rover]

any song with sections can work in payday2

[delicate wasp]

When I match make heroic missions I get one real fast

[hybrid ore]

Not really, they need to fit the tone of what's happening. "stealth", "build up" "levelling out", etc.

[stark heron]

Fair

At some point I should probably matchmake this master manhunt

[hardy rover]

Im referring to the modding side of it, I have heavily made myself and friends mods for that game

[stark heron]

This one actually seems fun to play

[hardy rover]

I have like 3000 hours in pd2 anyway

[west lantern]

until you come across some gimmick bugs like the gates not opening forever

[delicate wasp]

The intro music/tune on Wildlands was beautiful and mesmerizing 😇

[stark heron]

Schaeffers codes got live suspended

[hybrid ore]

I don't really need to know your hours, I was just trying to bring up a fun connection and praise the div2 soundtrack in the process.

[west lantern]

*watch out if you're using turmoil, it possibly fuks up the generators

[stark heron]

Oh

Go figure that the turmoil talent bug is actually causing issues

Least its easily avoidable

[hybrid ore]

The div2 soundtrack does have the downside of making you suspect that a rusher is creeping somewhere nearby.

[hardy rover]

it happens

[delicate wasp]

I wonder if a revive hive works on him ? 🤔

[stark heron]

Yeah

[west lantern]

yeah until you get to the point where you have to stop a turret on top of the gate it seems to be safe

[hybrid ore]

Sascha is good, but it's hard to beat Ola. https://youtu.be/QqU8bsgq4gI?si=Cy8r8y1QDQ-BNyBb

[delicate wasp]

I'm not much of a music fan, but if I do listen to it, its gotta be something I like and choose, for me its off putting in a game

[west lantern]

I prefer Ola's tracks, needless to say Sascha's are great too

[hybrid ore]

Lady of the Harbour is probs my fave overall, but I wouldn't say any are "bad".

[hardy rover]

You dont sound like someone who plays many singleplayer games

[thin oasis]

Weird observation lol

[hybrid ore]

I play both, and most of the time if I'm grinding out something in a game, I'll turn the sound off and put on my own thing.

[west lantern]

let him play as he wants

[hardy rover]

Singleplayer games tend to have a lot more persistent music, im not dissing it or anything

[thin oasis]

I play alot of Single player games and turn the music off most of the time. Personal preference

[hardy rover]

To each their own

[thin oasis]

The only time I feel music is essential to the experience is horror games.

[delicate wasp]

I play a mix of solo and team play

[hardy rover]

Wow its usually the opposite

[hybrid ore]

Just to be clear: if it's a shorter or linear game, I do think that you should keep the ingame sound on.
But if you're like, clearing up a map in a big open world game, go for it.

[delicate wasp]

I love this Wildlands tune though, but its not in-game, its the intro https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v93zbrwmdPc ☹️

[thin oasis]

Horror games in particular curate a specific atmosphere using the music and in game sounds. I like to experience that as intended to get the full experience.

But in general, ill play some Lo-fi music and chill while I game lol

[hybrid ore]

There is a lot of joy to be found in totally ruining a horror game's ambience by playing k-pop or something.

[west lantern]

play hampster dance song

it shits any atmosphere

[thin oasis]

Many nights of phasmophobia with open mics tells me you're spot on lol

[hybrid ore]

I honestly wish I could get into that game, it looks like so much fun.
but alas: mics.

[thin oasis]

Had one guy once we spent 7 hours ghost hunting with who was pretending to be Sir Ian Mckellen the whole night, and his imitation was spot on

Hearing Gandalf shout "You shall not pass" at a ghost that was going to kill him while I hid in a closet is peak gaming

[west lantern]

I didn't know the song was that old until I get 🧓 emoji

[surreal mural]

also a reason why horror games usually dont allow any type of movement mechanics like bunny hop. Mute music, BHop, and the game becomes scooby doo.

[unique summit]

have you tried lethal company?

[shell laurel]

is there another maintenance being done?

[thin oasis]

Yes, although not as much. I enjoy all those types of game.

Content warning was fun too

[west lantern]

it's ongoing

[surreal mural]

yeah, they are putting everyone's blacklister to stash.

unequipping it? who knows maybe there's niche use for it.

[unique summit]

when i play with buddies we turn off discord so it's only in-game voice. the hilarity of talking to someone one second and they are abruptly cut off is so good. or when they fall down a trap and you hear their voice lower in volume as they fall. oh and that monster that copies people's voices after killing them - terrifying lol

[thin oasis]

Thats how we play Arc Raiders. Open mics only. Its hilarious and we've met loads of great people

[unique summit]

yea that game got a lot of things right

[silk cedar]

How do u get new knee pads ?

[hybrid ore]

@silk cedar Completing the current Seasons' Climax Mission on Master Mode will award you a 100% drop-rate for the kneepads+tempest for your first run, per Agent.
Outside of that: it's a chance drop.

[loud fox]

i usually only have in game sound on for new missions or if i need to hear Manny for some direction. I've been playing since release so there's not much I'm missing. I do occassionally get the crap scared out of me when a rusher sneaks up on me though.

[unique summit]

the squish squish of death

[loud fox]

that nameless faction in the underground. the ones they used for outcast retal kill squads and at the beginning of fed bunker? terrifying even with sound on lol

[tender wave]

Pretty sure 'Underground' is their official faction name

[hardy rover]

Is that the ones who use bows

[loud fox]

idk if those guys are considered underground. underground has bolt action rifles lol

[hardy rover]

so who are the bow guys dressed in black

[loud fox]

Ambushers

like Rioters from D1

[hardy rover]

Never played d1

i think the only two other tc games ive played are breakpoint and vegas

[hybrid ore]

Basically think of the Ambushers as a non-faction faction, that also includes the Loot Goblin.

Underground are the chainsaw folk, mostly in the sewers, hence the name.

[loud fox]

D1 was fun. I didn't put nearly as much time into it as I have D2.

Maybe they'll retcon some stuff and make Black Tusk and ||Last Man Battalion|| team up in the future.

[hybrid ore]

Technically they already are teaming up, as LMB sort of got dissolved into BT.
Which expains BT's massive supply size.

[old ravine]

I thought LMB was done done

[loud fox]

Would just be neat to have seen them in one of the new york/brooklyn DLCs as their own thing. I quite liked LMB over BT.

[hybrid ore]

incredibly short tl;dr
the remnants of the once-powerful PMC were forcibly recruited into the Black Tusk, finally dissolving the Last Man Battalion.

IIRC we got some of their style a little while back, so I wouldn't be surprised if they made an appearance again, maybe in a future DLC.

[loud fox]

I think they'd be considered the White Tusk now?

[hybrid ore]

That's I think, more of an informal name for the legendary version of BT.
No relation to LMB afaik.

LMB didn't really just all keep going as one, they splintered pretty heavily into bits, some even joined the JTF.

[loud fox]

Googling says they are former LMB but I dont see any official sources saying that

[hybrid ore]

I'm curious about the source for that one, if it's AI overview, you can ignore that as a rule.

[old ravine]

does this mean some LMB could've joined the true sons?

[loud fox]

nah like fandom wiki and so on, but its not sourced

[hybrid ore]

AI overview very confidently told me that queensland used daylight savings, so it's info is as best, questionable.

I'm curious about that being in the wiki, as I was under the impression that "White Tusk" was something of an informal name, and also not really canon exactly.

Let's head over to #division-universe anyway, we're nerding out over the gen-chat.

[hardy rover]

Guess main. is done since im in the game

[loud fox]

I'm also able to log in. Love it when it's shorter than they say.

[gaunt trout]

I asked ai, is hormel chili healthy? it said "no" I then asked for a moderate priced healthly chili, it said "hormel"

[west lantern]

well now, blacklisters...

[rapid summit]

One of my favorites remain when AI oversights told me caffeine in doses of 200mg+ daily was healthy and encouraged

[wintry hollow]

blacklister still broken or fixed?

[iron adder]

should be fixed by now

[south topaz]

Fixed

[wintry hollow]

thx

[thin depot]

Am I tripping or does the damage stack is opposite now? I mean instead of giving more damage(before patch) it's now doing less and less damage?

[formal epoch]

i think that was the point of them

[loud fox]

in their bugged state they were fun, but now... eh, fox's prayer it is

[thin depot]

Fox's prayer is a bit less damage but then again won't have worry about marks and stuff. So yeah back to Fox's Prayer it is indeed!

[south topaz]

Back to overdog

[loud fox]

i get a lot of flak for my build from my clan but it's gotten me through legendaries easily. 3 piece TS, ninja bike backpack, picaro's, fox's prayer. Pesti+LMG w/ preservation

[thin depot]

At least Overdogs can be used for One shot builds

[clever moss]

If it ain’t broken don’t fix it right lol. So if it works for you who cares what they think

[loud fox]

oh im not changing it any time soon lol. it's a great build

[clever moss]

Also, have you tried an smg with preservation? Or ammo isn’t a concern?

[loud fox]

not typically a concern, but i have a Police t821 with preservation and also an emeline's guard. I prefer the t821 because it's got higher damage and more mod slots for CHD but it's the slowest smg

[clever moss]

Ah I gotcha, I’ll be giving your build a shot too, been looking to change up a little bit here and there. I’m 730’s so if it works I’m so down

[sly tundra]

If you're look for good build and how to play there's a lot of good info in #td2-build-advice channel.

Here's a reference of what the standard striker can do
#td2-build-advice message

Not saying any other build like the one shared above cannot clear this but cannot do it in this fashion.

[toxic lily]

Kneepads being sucks as ever after being batched? Aight Fox Prayer

[loud fox]

i do fine. and i've been playing since release so i'm basically just having fun at this point lol

[sly tundra]

Never said you didn't...

A lot players do fine but that's all you want to do
If you want to do more or learn how to carry others in the hard content there's more to do.

I just dislike when people out misinformation. Not saying you did but I just want to let players know there's a better way to do things.

[formal epoch]

so if it isnt done the way you want it its wrong got it

[loud fox]

conversation started as me saying i get crap for using the backpack lol. i was just saying it's not as bad as people say it is, is all lol.

anyway

i'm running out of room to decon stuff because most of my resources are full/close to full

[silent nymph]

What's the percentage to get the exotic kneepads in the clo.ax mission on heroic difficulty

[sly tundra]

My way? I just say a better way.

[harsh marsh]

Can we say things bout the manhunt or is there a certain channel for it

[sly tundra]

5% I think.. I have to look.

[silent nymph]

Go to #division-universe

In case of spoilers

[fading grotto]

hey, what does the status effect stat actually do?

[silent nymph]

What do you mean exactly

[hardy rover]

Are they all 5%??

[fading grotto]

the minor attribute that is +x% status effect, i cant find anything saying what it actually does

[sly tundra]

Normal 1%, Hard 3%, Challenging 5%, Heroic 7%

[loud fox]

increases the damage/length of debuffs like fire, blind, disrupt, iirc

[hardy rover]

I got Birdie on my second run of Kelso Heroic lol feels good

[sly tundra]

I don't remember it. I just do it Master and get it.

[fading grotto]

thanks

[sly tundra]

Normal 1%, Hard 3%, Challenging 5%, Heroic 7%

[hardy rover]

I think my builds are strong and consistent enough to do master now I just need to get peeps to do it

[sly tundra]

If you go into #td2-build-advice and the Pinned Messages there's a Sheet that shows it all. nvm we have mine it out yet.

[glass aurora]

servers ar up on not yet?

[sly tundra]

Status Effect stats is all in one for: Skill Damage and Skill Duration. There some other hidden stats from us but ya.

[formal epoch]

yeah

[glass aurora]

@formal epochty

[slate spoke]

Does Pyromaniac have a blueprint? I've been trying to farm it but no luck so far

[unborn plover]

do i need to complete District Union mission for week 4 first objective?

[keen kayak]

Are the knees fixed now?

[formal epoch]

mlk memorial control point

[formal epoch]

should be

[unborn plover]

already completed

[formal epoch]

then its dua for the 2nd objective

[soft echo]

So I contacted Ubi support regarding the friend referral progression bug

"The progress (e.g., completing 3 missions or accumulating hours) only counts if the referrer (you, the veteran) and the recruit are playing in the same group, and the missions or hours have the referral logo next to them on the in-game UI.
Ensure the recruit's progress is visible on the official Friend Referral website on their end. Sometimes their side shows 100% completion even if the referrer's side doesn't update correctly."

I don't get the referral logo thingy.

[formal epoch]

that hasnt worked in a long time from what i remember

[sly tundra]

Scout 4 — HVT 1
||- Retake MLK Memorial Library Control Point in Downtown East.

• Complete District Union Arena on any difficulty.
• Bounty: Zipper.||
  Scout 7 — HVT 2
  ||- Retake Taxi Graveyard Control Point in Foggy Bottom.
• Complete Roosevelt Island on any difficulty.
• Bounty: Connor Coldwater.||
  Scout 11 — HVT 3
  ||- Retake Crash Site Control Point in East Mall.
• Complete Capitol Building on any difficulty.
• Bounty: Lance Corporal Martin Boil.||
  forgot can't post these without

[soft echo]

Yeah they addressed it on this:

"I understand the issue you are experiencing with The Division 2 referral program is a known, widespread problem, where progression can become stuck or rewards are not delivered despite meeting the requirements. The system has been reported as "hit and miss" for a while."

[keen kayak]

Has anyone else been crashing out of Countdowns since the maint on Tuesday?

[tender wave]

Iirc when they did a bit of a revamp on the referral system a few seasons ago they actually removed the requirement to play in the same session with the other person at all. You'd likely have to go digging a bit to find the announcement though

[tropic sentinel]

Support legit using chatgpt to solve tickets.

And yeah, you don't need to play together any more. The only requirement is playtime of a recuited person.

[soft echo]

I still did the old requirements just for assurance and my buddies progress is at 100% but the rewards are still locked. However on my part, the progress is stuck to what it was before the invitation.

[thin oasis]

No

[clever moss]

I’ve got some standard meta builds but looking to expand my horizons. I mainly play solo outside of matchmaking and stuff so if it’s sufficient to do solo in a decent manner then I don’t care about dps and clear times. Otherwise I’d run striker

[clever moss]

Doesn’t it drop with the firewall project completion?

[soft echo]

I don't know if we're still be able to get the rewards once the referral rewards get refreshed. That would really suck if the issue goes into limbo.

[tardy cairn]

I swear why do people go afk right when I start the retal then waste my time and then everyone dies

[proud locust]

I’ve noticed the black tusk has stopped doing propaganda tactics. Cuss they were hijacking speakers to spread nats authoritarian agenda

[tender wave]

Yes but it's only in reconstructed caches amongst over a hundred other blueprints, so a very slow farm

[tropic sentinel]

Did at least your friend get the stuff? Or neither of you.

[soft echo]

Neither. Like I mentioned, my friend maxed out the requirements and the reward is still locked.

[tropic sentinel]

Did your friend buy the game after accepting the link?

[soft echo]

Yeah, because on his side there is "Your friend [username] will earn a reward when you reach 2 hours of playtime."

[tropic sentinel]

Well your only hope is support at any rate. Explain them how it works, maybe they will figure it out.

[silent nymph]

so not only the kneepads but the tempest pistol as well?

cuse i aint gonna do a floor 100 summit on legendary

[tropic sentinel]

With at least 1 more player you can cheese it in ~5 seconds.

[sly tundra]

I'm pretty sure it is.

[cyan musk]

Is the mop a dz item?

[spare cove]

Yes

[tropic sentinel]

Did they keep tempest drop for summit though? I would've guessed they would remove it after actual release.

[sly tundra]

I already had one so it didn't give it to me idk about others when we did it got it when on master

[cyan musk]

It's a % thing

[sly tundra]

Pretty sure they left it up there

[tropic sentinel]

Yeah, but is it still a thing, maybe they disabled it since you can get from proper source now.

[cyan musk]

I don't have a floor 100 checkpoint to verify but due to there being nothing abt it in the patch notes I doubt it

[tropic sentinel]

Hmm I suppose they just forgot for now.

[cyan musk]

How many items are in the named item cache pool also can you get the bp for the mop from reconstructed caches

[silent nymph]

well i dont have xbox live gold so im just doing this solo

[tropic sentinel]

They let you play game solo, but want you to pay for multiplayer? Lmao.

[cyan musk]

There should be a deal to get 2 weeks for a dollar

[cyan musk]

Yeah you can play multiplayer for free games for free but have to pay to play multiplayer on paid games

[tropic sentinel]

Well this game is paid in either case, so it's an unusual choice.

[iron adder]

it's not the game devs that charge that, it's the platform's fee (xbox & PS)

[tropic sentinel]

Pretty sure ubisoft themselves had to go out of the way and enable "free" solo play. But then they chose not to make it available for group play. You are using their servers after all. I highly doubt it's some offline mode.

[iron adder]

no it's not just ubisoft, all game companies must obey platform rules

[tropic sentinel]

And yet you can play it solo, which I doubt is offline mode.

[silent nymph]

i mean i do remebr back when you had to had xbox live gold to play fortnite

[spare cove]

Ignore him, Taro. He has a personal vendetta with Ubisoft for years.

[tropic sentinel]

Are you able to buy store bundles/cosmetics in this "solo mode"?

[cyan musk]

The platform charges for online play

[cyan musk]

The solo mode is exactly the same as group mode

Xbox just charges you money if you try to party up

[tropic sentinel]

So solo you play in offline mode, not connected to ubisoft servers?

[cyan musk]

Can you read?

[tropic sentinel]

Well you've said it only charges for online play.

[cyan musk]

Xbox is the one that charges ubisoft has no say in this

Why do you think we get free group play on pc

Xbox disables group play features for paid games unless you buy xbox live

Without live you can't even run raids

Gm riv

[hybrid ore]

Think of microsoft as the mafia, saying how it's a shame that your nice and shiny console can't play online.

[tropic sentinel]

But you still play online even solo. This is unusual choice. I don't think I've seen live service game where you get to play alone, but locked from group play. Altough I don't really play on consoles.

[cyan musk]

This is standard on all consoles xbox has xbox live playstation has psn plus nintendo has nintendo switch online

It's a way to force people to pay more money or not be able to play all of their game

[tropic sentinel]

Can you name other paid online live service games where you can play solo?

Without subs.

[cyan musk]

Every single paid game that allows group play

[tropic sentinel]

So for example if you don't sub you can play something like gta online alone?

[cyan musk]

You play gta online normal you just can't do any group jobs

[west lantern]

Came back from solo-challenging Master, I gave up on twin marauder at the very end

[cyan musk]

How the sub works is if you can do smth without being in a group then you can play it solo but if it requires a group you have to buy the sub

[west lantern]

I thought I posted on wrong channel lmao

[cyan musk]

The division is my best example of this bc when I played on xbox I mostly played free games to get around needing a live sub

[cyan musk]

Yeah master is brutal I've got a healer build if you wanna take another crack at it

[west lantern]

thanks but I already have blacklisters, it was simply solo-challenging

[cyan musk]

Ah do you also have tempest?

[west lantern]

yes I do

[cyan musk]

Noice

[cyan musk]

Nah someone was confused and thought ubi was pay walling console players and unaware if the growing difficulty of being a console player

Y'all think d2 will be able to run on that new console steam revealed

[west lantern]

ah I see

[hybrid ore]

@cyan musk It's from 2019, if it can't then the Steam Machine needs to go into the bin.

[cyan musk]

Tbf d2 is pretty poorly optimized

[keen kayak]

Plays fine on the Steam Deck so Machine should be able

[violet canyon]

ya the steam machine is laughable, just build a PC if thats the route you wana go

[tropic sentinel]

It's not a console, it's a prebuilt PC.

[cyan musk]

I play pc anyway I was just making convo

[violet canyon]

yep and everyone should know how we feel about pre-builts....

[hybrid ore]

Imagine you buy a steam machine (gabecube was a better name), and then you can't play a game from 7 years ago, that even your portable console can.

[cyan musk]

They were advertising the sm as being 6x the power of the steam deck

[hybrid ore]

Just buzz words. Wait for actual specs.

[tropic sentinel]

They aren't all bad, volvo might actually make some quality product by getting good piecec for cheaper since they will buy in huge bulks.

[hybrid ore]

This is "our console has 32 bits" all over again.

[hybrid ore]

I like their seatbelts.

[cyan musk]

I wonder what the price point is gonna be

I alr play div through steam and my laptop isn't long for this world

[violet canyon]

thats the real question, because im betting youre better off building your own PC

[jagged canyon]

Hmmm random thought but do yall think "the recruiter" was infact the only recruiter for the hunter program. I mean there has to be more then 1 right

[cyan musk]

Oh definitely no way nat would give up that easy

[jagged canyon]

You mean Cal

[tropic sentinel]

I guess you will be able to customize a bit. Starting point could be like 500-600 and going way beyond.

[cyan musk]

Yeah or whoever it was I did the mission once just to say I cleared it then haven't touched it since

[keen kayak]

I'm betting $899

[jagged canyon]

Oh okay

Yeah it would just seem like a major issue if Calvin only had 1 recruiter for his entire hunter program

Yes it's small but still country wide

[hybrid ore]

not right now though. RIP builders in late 2025.

[cyan musk]

I went to look to build my own pc the other day and my wallet took itself out back

[toxic lily]

nah The Recruiter been doing his recruitment job, he even advertise it in Youtube

[keen kayak]

I bought a prebuilt from Sam's Club and then upgraded the CPU and my PC is nice

[toxic lily]

In the official trailer

[violet canyon]

ya I built one a couple of years ago. Played exclusively on PC for over a year after building it and now im back to console because almost nothing EVER works on day one on PC. Plus I work on one all day.

[cyan musk]

Kinda off topic but where do y'all recommend if I'm getting a prebuild

[hybrid ore]

eBay, live a little.

[cyan musk]

Lmfao

[tropic sentinel]

If you are on a budget, might as well get some used parts at that point.

[hybrid ore]

exactly!
could be full of working parts, could be full of human fingers. Ya never know!

[jagged canyon]

And what about other hunters maybe there is a hunter Training Specialist who's job it is to train the new recruits

[cyan musk]

Difference between pts and pts preload?

[cobalt eagle]

If you do get a prebuilt, I’d love to see what components you get… been looking for one for a while now. Just don’t want to buy wrong component and destroy the whole pc when I plug it in lol

[hybrid ore]

@cyan musk pts preload is where you can load up the PTS before its out, but not launch it yet.

[cyan musk]

Ty riv

[viscid ravine]

Building yourself would probably be cheaper. HOWEVER. Amazon sells some pretty decent PCs if the specs are to be believed.

[violet canyon]

I've used skytech gaming for my custom PCs, but they have great pre-builts and warranties as well

[hybrid ore]

Okay Agents, PTS patch notes are up!
head on over to #news-and-announcements, or look right here: https://ubi.li/y7s3-pts-patchnotes

[cobalt eagle]

yay just when we were just talking about it

[cyan musk]

Honestly I don't even want anything crazy for my pc I just need smth that isn't the 30 series bc of a bug with gta

[tropic sentinel]

Get some modest 5090 quad sli build.

[violet canyon]

and pay the build fee, so when it inevitably has problems, its not on you

[hybrid ore]

And then go back home in your 3 bentleys and tell your butler to make you a solid gold cup of tea.

[violet canyon]

you guys arent already doing that?

[hybrid ore]

too maleable, all my tea cups are lead.

[violet canyon]

ya big pharma doesnt want you to know lead is good for you

[hybrid ore]

"all the water pipes in rome can't be wrong!".

[violet canyon]

absolutely nothing was wrong with rome and theres definitely nothing to be learned from all of its mistakes

[hybrid ore]

"what, your leader doesn't catapult snakes? lame".
Okay enough quoting things that no one will get the reference to, back to the div talk lol.

[violet canyon]

but I was enjoying our off the wall convo lol

[cobalt eagle]

uh… what just happened. I just left for like 2 minutes

[keen kayak]

"There are those who build nothing. Create nothing"

[violet canyon]

fun happened and you missed it

[cobalt eagle]

“If that light goes out, who can save us then?”

[violet canyon]

AND IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN

[cobalt eagle]

always find it funny the cough former president says that

[cyan musk]

Which one there's been 40 smth

[violet canyon]

Im quoting Dave Attell lol

probly too old of a reference for here

[cyan musk]

I don't even know who that is lol

[violet canyon]

thats my point lol hes considered one of the greatest comedians ever, had his own show on comedy central back in the day

but anyways, back to running tipping scales and almost doing as much damage as the blacklisters used to

[cobalt eagle]

In game…. Ellis

[cyan musk]

Oh I may be stupid

[violet canyon]

no, youve just been propagandized by the TV. Leave that world and enjoy div2 😃

[cyan musk]

Facts real world politics are dumb

[cobalt eagle]

I hear a Steam VR is a thing now?

[cyan musk]

That's been a thing

[cobalt eagle]

facepalm

[cyan musk]

I'm not paying 1100 dollars for a vr tho

[cobalt eagle]

same… not really a fan of feeling virtigo standing in a room with my 1100 pc rig in front of me

[violet canyon]

ya im not a fan of the eye damage that comes with it

[cyan musk]

The new meta quest is like 300$ and runs p much all the same games I'll just stick with that

[cobalt eagle]

I’ve tried out so many VR headsets, none are glasses compatable no matter what the rep says lol

my glasses come out bent and warped

anyway…. Division 2….

[violet canyon]

will the regulus drop from the stretch goals if you dont have it yet?

[kind veldt]

Yes, but very small chance

[violet canyon]

Not sure I wana go through the pain of finding another IH group since I never finished the project back in the day

[kind veldt]

Oh regulus is easy one to get

Do 3 runs and thats it pretty much

[violet canyon]

ya I know, its just the getting a group to run it part

[cyan musk]

2.5% chance if you get smth from the special exotic pool boosted odds every 10 levels

[kind veldt]

Regulus - 12.5%

Eagle Bearer - 12.5%

Ravenous - 12.5%

Bighorn - 12.5%

Ouroboros - 12.5%

Provocator - 12.5%

Birdie’s Quick Fix - 12.5%

Tinkerer – 12.5%

These are the exclusive exotic drops

[cobalt eagle]

you guys rerun missions for these percentages?

[kind veldt]

Ignore the 12%

[cobalt eagle]

[cyan musk]

I wish crossplay was a thing bc ong I need a group to run ih with I'm literally so close to being done the project

[kind veldt]

Exclusive Exotics – 0.5% drop chance with each cache.

[violet canyon]

ya im on the very last part where I just need the pieces to build it

[cobalt eagle]

Look…. Halo is on PS and Helldivers is on Xbox now so anything is possible now

[cyan musk]

I have everything donated I'm just 4 base mats short

[kind veldt]

Devs said they cant promisse crossplay since rebuilding the game to work on that has a high chance of losing everyones save

[cobalt eagle]

ok well… let’s let them be safe yeah lol don’t need to lose anyone’s save

[kind veldt]

Better not risk it pretty much

[keen kayak]

They can't make a backup first and then push the update?

[cobalt eagle]

Div 2 is a pretty old game all things considered

[kind veldt]

There is the part of rebuilding the entire game

[violet canyon]

and they have an almost non-existent team at this point as well

[cyan musk]

I really hope d3 has crossplay tho

[cobalt eagle]

Div 3 cross play hype lol.

[keen kayak]

They can just do that in UE5 right because that is what everyone is doing now

[cyan musk]

Get out of my head lol

[cobalt eagle]

no please no more UE5

[violet canyon]

and UE5 is trash, people need to stop using it

[kind veldt]

...game is not on UE5 its o snowdrop

[violet canyon]

yep, snowdrop is thier own engine that is MUCH better than UE5

[jagged canyon]

I wonder if the devs are aware the legacy manhunt catalogue is in complete shambles

[keen kayak]

Pfft Div2 doesn't even have snow

[cobalt eagle]

wipes brow oh man…. If only the game looked as good as the Div 1 e3 gameplay lol

[keen kayak]

I think Div2 looks pretty good

[violet canyon]

ya div2 looks great. If it doesnt for you, you either need glasses, a new TV/monitor, better console or a better PC

[kind veldt]

I think the more important part is that it runs well

[cobalt eagle]

looks at gen 1 Xbox One well… yeah…. That’s why I’m looking for a current PC lol

probably need new glasses too lol

[keen kayak]

I think a lot of people turn off neutral lighting as well and that lowers the visual fidelity quite a bit

[small plume]

Omg that exotic Super 90 O_O

Shotgun Shotfun

No damage dropoff

Suddenly I feel like I should reinstall this game.

[violet canyon]

whens the last time you played?

[stuck hearth]

A month ago or so. TD2 comes in waves. Sometimes I want to feel the dystopian feeling of the society completely gone, and soon after I relive that feeling I quit after remembering that bullet sponges isn't my thing. 😄

[coral mural]

What about mobile any news guys please update me

[fathom maple]

I have bad news for u

Is the clímax exotic

[small plume]

?

So?

[violet canyon]

Run 4 piece Tipping scales with Ceska/obliterate chest and overdogs gloves. Bluescreen for weapon. Bullet sponges no longer exist

[fathom maple]

Clímax exotic means u can get It when the clímax come out, short words, in 2-3 months

[small plume]

Idk, I stopped after the first big update of those new watch things.

[stuck hearth]

I always have neutral lighting on. I used to have screen spaced raytracing effetcs too but that is now blocked by Easy Anti Cheat. Yeah, TD2 can look great sometimes especially for a MMO game with pretty huge environments.

[violet canyon]

ya, its def worth reinstalling

[jagged canyon]

.......when WoNY came out?

[hybrid ore]

Arguably, the first major update was a month post-launch.

[stuck hearth]

I just lower the difficulty to Normal and that fixes it lol

[small plume]

I thought those modifiers were pain and I didn't like those riddles with coordinates, then I uninstalled.

[hybrid ore]

The introduction of World Tier 5, and Tidal Basin was what one might call "sizeable".

[stuck hearth]

The riddles were awesome! Modifiers, not so much. Kills in different ways. shrug

[fathom maple]

U mean directives?

[small plume]

I hate riddles like that.

[small plume]

I don't know how it's called, so I think it is.

[fathom maple]

Must be directives bc modifiers r new things

[stuck hearth]

Weekly scout missions probably. It had riddles from time to time

[small plume]

Question, DTOOC still top 1 priority or builds actually exist now?

[fathom maple]

I say reinstall, too many things to play

[kind veldt]

It was like 3-4 seasons ago

[fathom maple]

Yep

[small plume]

Yep can answer both.

So...?

[jagged canyon]

I really hope that this seasons ending cutscene is a tease for ||next season's climax mission taking place in United Ironworks, aka the place where the Ironhorse raid takes place.||

[fathom maple]

Any gun is better with DTTOOC in any build, yes build exist, but guns r not Game changer in builds, u can run almost anything u like

[small plume]

So there's no build diversity if DTOOC still the only viable option.

Ok, there's damage to protection, which is just 2% weaker, but still.

[fathom maple]

In guns yes, but u can run silly builds with swap speed and allat

[small plume]

I play sniper or rushdown with SMGs.

[fathom maple]

Build diversity exist but mostly in gear

[fathom maple]

Hunter's fury or hotshot can fit ur playstyle then

(this ones r gear sets, the green/blue ones)

[small plume]

I already do t... wait, no.

I hate Hunter's Fury.
I don't remember what is it, but I didn't like it.

Imo High-End is the only way to play SMG + Shield.

[fathom maple]

Enemies within 15m receive a debuff, amplifying your weapon damage against them by +20%.
Killing a debuffed enemy with your weapon disorients other enemies within 5m, and amplified weapon damage by 5% for 10s, stacking up to 5 times.

[small plume]

Hotshot is also the only true sniper way.
I have a High-End build sniper for a scopeless, but it's not as optimal.

My favorite build is High-End 1886 though.

Best weapon ever for headshot build.

[fathom maple]

Actually no if u like casinos

[torpid tendon]

Do we tell them about HFHH?

[small plume]

NO WAIT

Hotshot was my first build, it's the other one that is the best and only way to trully play sniper.

[kind veldt]

but are you actually aiming for the head or just using determined?

[torpid tendon]

HF is one of my favorite sets. Having 1.6m armor+ bonus while at tier 5 shield while mowing down everything with dark winter.

[fathom maple]

For snipers hotshot with determined is the best way, Ace and eights is just puré rng

[small plume]

Nah, nvm.

Aces is the first I made, Hotshot is the best.

[fathom maple]

And for rifles we got a good Set not looooong ago named breaking point

[small plume]

Borderline broken

[cyan musk]

does bk have a chance to drop from any riker boss or specific riker bosses?

[kind veldt]

any riker

but it can drop anywhere really

it just kinda has extra chance because rikkers were the original source

[torpid tendon]

What's bk again? BurgerKing?

[fathom maple]

Yea, here (except for few exotics) can drop anywhere

[kind veldt]

well theo and the other rogue agent that i forgot the name originally

[fathom maple]

Whopper whopper

[small plume]

Anyway, my "Cowboy Set" with High-End 1886, Boomstick, Regulus and Dodge City is goated.

Headshot and panic buttons for days.

[torpid tendon]

You can also craft it if you have the materials and the blueprint from retaliation.

Way easier than just farming targeted loot.

[small plume]

Maybe I'll reinstall this game someday, but not now.

[torn cape]

Black Tusk are using the Hyenas as cover to seize more territory. Drive them out - I did both Hyenas and Black Tusk activities, they does not count. What do I need to do ?

that's Scout 3 thing

[kind veldt]

Think it was invaded missions

Just replay them

You can probably also search in the chat for the anwer directly if you look for that week

[torn cape]

I'll give it a try, thanks

[cyan musk]

is fox the only named overlord piece?

[kind veldt]

from the top of my head, think so

[sterile cedar]

Two invaded missions

[wise basalt]

can u bank season xp to use later if u don't claim journey rewards?

[random thistle]

idk if that works since the journey do change itself too? or if not that would been nice o:

[whole badge]

guys anyone here using ubisoft store i need some help

[wise basalt]

@random thistle another player in gcrock discord claimed he's banked enough season xp to claim stretch goals caches next week and that's a 1st time hearing u can bank xp. if that is the case, didn't realize season xp is treated like credits.

[random thistle]

do you know which member it is? we could always ask him / her for more details if there is any.

[wise basalt]

@random thistle yeah in gcrock discord channel, I was chatting with the player briefly asking about it. goes by firewalkermulln

[hybrid stump]

I just bought the crafting blueprint for diamond back exotic from inaya but I am not seeing it in my inventory/when I trying to craft it .
I am currently level 15 and it was for lvl 15 exotic as well.

[random thistle]

ain't that a dlc weapon or sum from the campus side mission / lore thing?

[kind veldt]

what inaya sells are recalibration blueprints, lets you reroll the weapon

the ones to craft it from scratch you get from doing retaliations

[cyan musk]

if you complete the journey mission but don't claim the final reward you can wait until stretch goals and get a bunch of xp

[wise basalt]

@cyan musk hmm. I just figured if this was a thing that made a difference all the utubers that cover this game would have made videos about it. So it's my 1st time hearing about it.

[vivid sierra]

Is it just me or does anyone else wish we could use the exotic appearances on our non exotic apparel?

[dusk jackal]

#division-tweets message

I’m guessing outcasts?

[frosty wadi]

Would remove the point of it being exotic

[hybrid ore]

just for the appearance is an often requested feature, I expect to see it at some point.

[frosty wadi]

Its never gonna happen, the thing is that exotics are intended to be visible yes for you but also other players, its shocking we have apparel to cover exotics at all

[hybrid ore]

In the DZ/conflict they can disable it, I'm chill with that.
but outside? I want my barbie agent.

[frosty wadi]

We already can be that, we don’t need to devalue exotics further especially because we all know exactly what two exotics people want to slap on and we don’t need more fashion for them

[hybrid ore]

I actually don't know which you're referring to.

which tells me that it's probably different for different folks.

[keen kayak]

That's when I have been crashing too. Or when we engage the Hunters after the win

I'm already at BP level 100 so how does the event get activated?

[hybrid ore]

Basically, every time you rank up, you get a thingy, then at the 10th, you rank up and it goes back to 1, but it resets and you can do it again.
at 10, you get a "prestige cache", which has a higher chance for the exotics people actually want.

[keen kayak]

So how do I turn that on?

[kind veldt]

starts next week

[keen kayak]

Says it's going right now 4d 13h left

[kind veldt]

thats the extra XP event

what rivens mentioned is stretch goal event for next week that you need to be at lv 100

so they do an season XP event first to let people reach 100 faster

to then do the stretch goal next week

[keen kayak]

So how do I get the exotic chest from this one?

[kind veldt]

dont think you can if you are lv 100

might need to check the grants tab at your stash

[keen kayak]

nothing there ><

[kind veldt]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[unique bramble]

Bro, companion thing will be kinda funny like
True son: what are the orders agent?
Sheriff: ...
True son: yes sir!

[hoary bloom]

Hey, why is some stuff not sharable?

[kind veldt]

you can only share what you just got with the people who were with you

after the time passes you cant share it anymore

i think the time might be one or two hours

[clever moss]

Only open world loot is Shareable with whoever was in your squad at the time. Cache rewards and crafted cannot be shared

[hoary bloom]

Thanks both, makes total sense now

[umbral dock]

holy shit they actually did it

perfect obliterate

new gearset sounds pretty good too

[lament canyon]

Wrong, cache rewards for lvl ups and other cache rewards received while being in group are sharable if you open them and you'll be able to drop received items from those caches to your current teammates, also season rewards track, if you claim any caches or items being in group you will be able to share

[cyan musk]

are enemies running away from anyone else?

I'm running white oak and I shot a tank and instead of shooting back they ran to the other side of the spawn area

[keen kayak]

Why in the midst of a retaliation would you just sit out in the open when you are downed instead of crawling to teammate in cover for rez?

[umbral dock]

pretty sure crawling decreases your bleedout timer faster

[cyan musk]

it does

[keen kayak]

expecting someone to run out of cover into a hail of bullets ends the retaliation

[umbral dock]

well, they might be waiting for you to wipe the current wave and then rez

or throw a rez hive at them

[keen kayak]

or they could just crawl the 20 feet to cover for a rez

[torn beacon]

What builds have you tried that is an improvement with blacklisters exotic kneepads?

[umbral dock]

yeah they are throwing a little bit

maybe they rage quit and walked away from their pc

[keen kayak]

It's why I prefer to do them solo but I got notice it was ending in 10 mins so I just started it with the guys that joined me in open world. 2 people left right away and then the 3rd guy just kept dying. It was ok when he was in cover but if you die in the open crawl to cover atleast so someone can get to you. Don't just sit out in the open like a dunce

[cold narwhal]

None, they stink 🤣 they were only worthwhile when completely busted

[short pine]

What is the completion reward you get for week 10 manhunt? Everything went by so fast I couldn't catch it in time lol

[glass belfry]

Anybody hosting the master mission? I still want those kneepads

[ornate reef]

Anyone keep track of how long an item or outfit is in the store before it rotates again?

[rain fog]

Whats with the position in queue thing lately 🧐

[fathom maple]

The rotation is the most random thing, u never know when that item is coming back

Some ppl r still waiting for one of the first kelso outfits to come back

[cyan musk]

is the rank up event this seasons stretch goals?

I can't expand it so I can't see what it says

[tender wave]

Yes. Starts next week

[hollow hill]

And it's not as long as it was before. Theyve fully changed the system... Sort of

[astral jacinth]

Who’s ready to abuse their companions for science

[fluid meadow]

This can be taken HORRIBLY out of context

[hollow hill]

If this server didn't have rules, I'd already have made a joke

Who wants to take a ban for the memes?

[bright owl]

💀 I think im good

[bright owl]

crazy statement

[fluid meadow]

HYPOTHETICALLY

[hollow girder]

hell yeah bro

[fathom cloak]

I'm guessing you can probably revive them.

[astral jacinth]

I don’t have any pearls to clutch

But it’s time to stress test the companion AI to its limits 🤖

[fathom cloak]

Did they say whether or not the appearance of the companion you get is random?

[astral jacinth]

Yeah it’s random

[bright owl]

I hope my companion doesn't look borked as hell

[astral jacinth]

You would have fainted if you ever watched me play the Sims back when I was 10 😂

[bright owl]

👀

[fathom cloak]

I get the feeling we'll be dismissing companions over and over. lol

[astral jacinth]

Yeah they are entirely expendable

[bright owl]

first experiment; what happens when you spray them with the cooler whilst they stand in fire

[fluid meadow]

My first experiment is actually to throw a grenade on them to see if they run from it like the civvies

[astral jacinth]

A true sons foamer would be very useful

[fluid meadow]

A hyena rusher you mean
Make her run up to them and pop her canister

Or better yet an elite outcast rusher
The burn damage on them is ridiculous

[tender wave]

you'd have to keep hiring new ones though

[thin oasis]

That's not correct. Cache rewards can be shared with people who were in your group when you claimed the cache, not when you open it.

[fathom cloak]

Friendly firing your companions seems like accurate Division agent behaviour...

[atomic valley]

Server down EU region ?

[harsh marsh]

Hello guys I'm looking for the last found footage but I've done all the missions, all I know is they are called ECHOs and Haven

[harsh marsh]

Mine is working perfectly fine

[hollow hill]

I feel like you created a Smurf village

[tender wave]

@thin oasis put a space between your dots and the next word

[thin oasis]

That's a weird automod lol

this game sometimes.... Run Lego Tidal basin for weekly, get lag spikes in the final room, manage to complete it go to White house to inventory dump, get Delta 03....log back in and have to do weekly again because the game forgot -.-

[tender wave]

the blocked term is .ru - probably related to some scam link thing from years ago or something

[thin oasis]

I was wracking my brain trying to think what word or phrase was blocking it lmaop

[thin oasis]

That makes more sense

[bright owl]

a looot of scam-links include that, but it's also a russian domain which says a lot;

I assume it also goes for most links being disallowed in general but that might be wrong

No offense to russians of course-- just a lot of scam/phishing links use ru as a domain

[clever moss]

Huh, every time I’ve tried it hasn’t been Shareable, I’ll have to check on that

[hollow hill]

Not just scam links but 🏴‍☠️ sites also are sourced in Russia bc well... It's like the true wild wild West there

[hollow hill]

This is due to other countries having little to no power to go after them. Or it would be a serious waste of money to, especially towards a country like Russia with how the country is ran

[bright owl]

For sure'

[lament pawn]

tbh i saw the sheriff shotgunr

is it some sort of slug shotgun?

if it is, then headhunting shotguns can do a lot more with that

[kind veldt]

from what we know, it doesnt fire slugs, it just has better accuracy and no range penalty

[undone timber]

Given that it's a super 90 and not a pump action I don't see it beating out the m870

Looks fun though

[kind veldt]

if it has a thight spread, mid range headshots should be nasty

[undone timber]

I'm not sure if it only affects the reticle or the actual pellet spread but iirc accuracy caps out on shotguns

[kind veldt]

acc affects all shotguns but very little

your initial position appear to affect their spread more than acc

aka moving, cover, moving in cover

[visual granite]

rough day on countdown today. 4 hours, no exotic drops, 4 backfires in a row from exotic chests

[hollow hill]

What are you going for exactly?

[visual granite]

lmgs

[hollow hill]

Any specific LMG?

[visual granite]

pesti and iron lung, but really just any of them. I don't have any exotic lmgs

[hollow hill]

Retaliation for 4 hours would've probably guaranteed you one if not both. Retaliation you can target loot and work towards mats to craft an exo LMG

[visual granite]

I see. Haven't done that yet

[flint bridge]

Tinkerer is back🤣 https://imgur.com/a/ccPIWMx

[jagged prism]

@spare cove uh, you got your clown outfit ready? (> <) or was that if they actually fixed it?

[fluid meadow]

this just further proves my namesake

[golden lake]

Is the turmoil kneepads in the general loot pool? Or did i miss out?

[iron adder]

no but it will return next week as RNG drop from stretch goal caches

[stable sand]

Whats going with this patch I don’t have the new knee pads equipped but i am getting one shotted make no sense 🤔

[languid bay]

Did anyone see Ubisoft halted trading its shares today? Is that something we should be concerned about at all lol

[crimson osprey]

What are you sharing with them?

[languid bay]

Nothing lmao im just curious if it affects their games

[keen kayak]

? gonna have to check with the wall street bets people about this. Concerning

[cobalt eagle]

OGs remember the slug exotic from Div 1

[undone timber]

Medved

[cobalt eagle]

There we go lol don’t remember these names

[cobalt eagle]

stock market was pretty shaky…

[visual granite]

finally got 3 exotic lmgs to drop...

All bullet kings...

and 4 more backfires in a row from caches

rng is truly laughing at me

[cobalt eagle]

that’s at least more exotics than I ever had when I was running missions back in the day lol

[visual granite]

well that's 3 exotics in 8 hours of countdown grinding so...

[cobalt eagle]

Back in my day, I had to run from Rogue swarms in the Dark Zone to get a few exotics rip those times

[soft echo]

Can support credit items from referral as long as there is valid proof?

[vivid sierra]

Not gonna lie, i wouldn't mind using a compound bow as a weapon.

[hybrid ore]

I was kinda expecting one to be added back with WONY, it was kinda the era of the bow in games.

[vivid sierra]

Where do I find my journey rewards? I want to get that notification off my screen.

[rough valley]

I’m a returning lvl 30 what gear etc is a must have

Anyone got idear on how to get comendation from brooklyn play all missions, dumbo, medic...its not counting even i played all missions, do i have to play solo i mean i did to play all diffuculties, first story then group....there are other comendations like play 10 times art museum , im going to do that...:)

[spare cove]

That was when they actually fixed it for real.

Which they did not

[lunar hare]

I forgot that thing existed

[unique summit]

Still pinned!

Anyone got idear on how to get comendation from brooklyn play all missions, dumbo, medic...its not counting even i played all missions, do i have to play solo i mean i did to play all diffuculties, first story then group....there are other comendations like play 10 times art museum , im going to do that...:)

[split terrace]

Just have to do them on hard or higher difficulty, if I remember correctly. However, if you can, do them on challenging because there is also the Brooklyn Challenger commendation which requires doing 9 missions on challenging or higher.

[tropic sentinel]

Knowing how useless they are, you need to get very lucky. And keep pestering them for a long time.

[jolly kettle]

@split terrace so it does not count group , i have to play solo. The others are geoup counting those - play 10 times. Waird it says group too - play all missions once i think i have to pin image when i get home it has counted 2 of 4 so.....

[split terrace]

That would make sense. I did all of Brooklyn solo.

[jolly kettle]

Ok 🙂

[shell laurel]

has anyone noticed lately sometimes a player will automically join you even if you didnt request help?

[fluid meadow]

Hold my hand when i tell you this
Is your group open

[gaunt trout]

regulus with determined on tinkerer lol

[blazing citrus]

Legit telesto in another d2 game

[shell laurel]

It would be nice if we got new skins but not just skin but almost like a wrap similar to Sniper Veil/Scrim Netting. Best example is from Ghost Recon like the G28 Wilderness. It would be way better than the Elmo skin just got releaed

[dense mantle]

Is there anybody who’s gotten Tinkerer on any difficulty other than master? If so, how many tries? Because I’m starting to think it just simply doesn’t exist.

[sly tundra]

It's 7% chance on heroic lower the difficulty the worse

I've only done it on heroic once then the rest has been master so I can't say much.

[dense mantle]

Yeah, I’m aware of the 3-5-7% chance per difficulty. Which imo is a tad too low. I’d argue the rates could be doubled without making it less exclusive

[west lantern]

hey, is pts coming soon in like an hour or so?

I remember it's going to be today but forgot the time

[sly tundra]

I mean RNG is RNG. That's not that's not that bad.

I've gotten 3 of them from master even after my first clear. I've maybe cleared it 20 times by now.

[west lantern]

oh wait is it tomorrow?

[sly tundra]

Now. It should open

[tired fern]

Hey guys, I unfortunately missed Halloween event. Can I still get quickstep pistol elsewhere? I'm wondering if it's added to general loot pool

Stretch goals at the end of season I think?

[sly tundra]

No it's just like every other Seasonal Event thing.

[west lantern]

not gonna be added in general loot pool

[sly tundra]

They posted the RNG for it somewhere

Guess I gotta check stretch goals then, thanks! I wanna run like hell likenu guys..damn

realism? tactical lootershooter?

[shell laurel]

eh i think the grenadiers are the worst

[gaunt trout]

hahahhaha grenade with skill block

I still think the stealth elemnt in div is hilarious. when drone girl makes her drones, you screw off to the left corner and the drones go an investigate the last known position

[shell laurel]

yeah tho the air burst one is highly irritating, i won't mind a stealth option, gives you time to ambush them like in breakpoint

[tropic sentinel]

How would that make a game mmorpg?

[gaunt trout]

best way to explain is mmorpgs are very pretty but their mechanical level is very flat. for example is an enemy has "no skill" dmg icon, but its refered to as "special ammo" in a tact fps, this means the "bullets" will inflict no skill. ex: kayo vibroknife in valorant, brimstone dmg stim doesnt boost melee striker speed. but in mmorpgs, its just a flat buff

a non combat way to see this is most movement in mmorpgs is very linear. for example in div, you can only go up or down at specified interactions. in theory, it can "look" like a rope, but you cant use it. but in an fps the dev try to make sure this never happens. if you "can" visually, you can

[kind veldt]

well special ammo effect changes per faction

thats it's not EMP bullets directive

[gaunt trout]

it does. but the interaction in question is a melee strike inflicting emp, due to emp bullet status

even it it wasnt blacktusk, outcast would burn you on melee, or riker would do bleed? I think

[kind veldt]

it means enemy hits have chance to cuase a status effect

[spare cove]

PTS not open yet?

[kind veldt]

not on my pc at least

[spare cove]

Ah, there it is

[thick yarrow]

I might have to leave the clan im in on division 2 since its inactive

Also don't use the exotic kneepads from the climax mission they're bugged and they have a very broken glitch

[hardy rover]

You’re late to the party

[hybrid ore]

@thick yarrow There's no downside to leaving a clan and joining a new one, feel free to jump around as much as you want.

[thick yarrow]

i know my dad told me about it but i've not even got the climax mission unlocked yet but i'd rather not abuse a glitch

[hybrid ore]

Yesterday's maintenance was about patching that exact glitch.

[thick yarrow]

but the talent was bugged since it didn't work half the time

[hybrid ore]

No better time to check if it was fixed.

[thick yarrow]

i haven't done the climax mission yet

since i need to unlock it

[hybrid ore]

You only need to do the HVT sections of the Manhunt to unlock the climax mission, in case you weren't aware.
So it won't take as long as it normally would.

[thick yarrow]

i know i did the same thing in season 1

[hybrid ore]

I keep forgetting MSV keep renaming what season's are which number.

I was gonna say "we didn't have manhunts and HVT's back in 2020".

[thick yarrow]

Y7S1

i think in 2 weeks we should have a livestream for Y7S3

[hybrid ore]

Originally, MSV just called them by their number and that's how we ended up with the same season having multiple numbers, due to re-runs.

@thick yarrow We had the livestream a few days ago,.

[thick yarrow]

that was PTS stuff they normally do another one after step up to introduce the trailer + whats being added

[hybrid ore]

It was also upcoming seasonal stuff.

including info about gear, companions, etc.

The PTS is just a preview of what's coming, so they usually tie them in together.

There's a write up on reddit about it, IIRC. And I did one myself whilst it was live.

[stable sand]

Why is the aiming from enemies so terrible they are not even looking at you but the bullet comming from their a.. 😵‍💫😵‍💫

[thick yarrow]

i have to wait till Y7S3 is out before i can see what the weapons do because of imgur not working for me

[hybrid ore]

Open the pts patch notes, there's details there.

https://ubi.li/y7s3-pts-patchnotes

click "show more" to see the rest.

[thick yarrow]

well so the new exotic rifle seems to be more of a support weapon

[remote lynx]

I selected items from stash for donation is there a way to access them from the tinkering station?

i have to move them to my inventory?

[cold narwhal]

The what now

[hybrid ore]

@cold narwhal Read the patch notes I linked to.

[cold narwhal]

I hope that's a typo and the named holster is Salvo which makes way more sense

I don't understand why they would make an exotic tied to a seasonal mechanic. Seems like a waste

Anyway, can't wait to see the unmitigated chaos that this NPC helper brings 😂

[spare cove]

Which exotic?

[thick yarrow]

the new exotic rifle thats in PTS

[cold narwhal]

The chest piece

Unless the companion is a permanent feature

[spare cove]

Yeah, I don't see how Bittersweet is tied to the Seasonal Modifier, since its whole thing is getting stacks by doing headshots, then shooting your allies and skills to heal them based on the stacks.

[thick yarrow]

its not a permanent one, it goes away after this season

[cold narwhal]

Chest piece chest piece chest piece

[spare cove]

Yeah, the companion system is tied to the seasonal modifier.

That being said, its likely they'll be added permanently depending how good the reception is.

[spare cove]

I was talking to igame.

[cold narwhal]

No you were responding to a point I made

[thick yarrow]

i have a feeling that it might not be good for solo players since most people do content solo except for legendary strongholds

[spare cove]

Why wouldn't they? I've played the PTS, and the companions I've got were pretty helpful thus far.

[cold narwhal]

I was thinking the opposite

[grave jetty]

anyone knows or expects when Y7S3 will release to the live servers?

[spare cove]

Assuming they don't delay it, we should expect Y7S3 to be released on December 2nd

[cold narwhal]

The method they have it working for a group seems ripe for lots of bugs

[spare cove]

Besides, some solo players would appreciate having a back up from time to time in various activities, so companion system ain't a disaster as some insists it to be.

[cold narwhal]

Anyway, the only really important question is: will I get to make their outfit?

I can't have someone dressed like a total jtf dork following me around

[remote lynx]

when i press "X" to donate all the Junk from stash nothing happens on the tinkering station why?

[jagged prism]

no in the stream they said it's for 1 season and it'll go away after the season

[unique bramble]

Yup, that sucks.

[spare cove]

Grrr! I know!

Stop treating me like a child!

[jagged prism]

so why would you state "depending on reception" could be added permanently?

[spare cove]

Because that's what they freaking said in the livestream

[hybrid ore]

Okay all, time to tone it down.

[unique bramble]

It's not impossible since we live in a democracy, you saw what happened with the seasonal characters.

[jagged prism]

all i recall from the stream because they asked if it was permanent. they said no just this season

[hybrid ore]

The exact sentiment during the livestream was "companions are locked to this season, but likely will return at a later date"

Nothing concrete, but Yannick kept the idea open.

[tropic sentinel]

Why would they even bother adding companions at all then if it's for 1 season.

[jagged prism]

ah, then i forsee another season of companion actives/passives

[hybrid ore]

Because they're trying out new stuff right now, that's what you do after a game has been out for 7 years.

remember that div2 is old, by game standards.

[spare cove]

In that case, I'd like it to reach Year 10 😛

[jagged prism]

yeah, i know which is why i never hold my breath for new exotics/gearsets and brandsets. you can only go so far with them and not have some over lapping talents in some fashion
sheriff is interesting though, but i can see it getting nerfed

[spare cove]

No way Division 3 is gonna release next year. 2027? If they're lucky and the development process ain't rough.

2028/2029, that's more likely.

[hybrid ore]

With how well bfb did, I predict another dlc before 3 drops.

(I kinda wouldn't mind if they just stuck with 2, but that's another matter)

[spare cove]

Bunker Raiders!

We raid Black Tusk bunkers.

[hybrid ore]

I swear I watched that of a saturday morning in the 90's.

[unique bramble]

Underground for d2 confirmed lol

[hybrid ore]

it was on between street sharks, and jet cats.

[spare cove]

Ooh, street sharks. Now that's a core memory unlocked.

[jagged prism]

i'd kind of welcome that or Pier 2.0. just add another area to one of the 3 maps and we fight against all the factions including Resistence 2.0

[tropic sentinel]

They've shared sale numbers?

[hybrid ore]

Of course not, but Yannick mentioned during a livestream that bfb's launch had very similar player numbers to WONY.

[unique bramble]

Words are nothing without data so...

[kind veldt]

And well servers were having issues from too many people playing, thats closer to good than bad

[jagged prism]

WONY had a pretty go reception didn't it?

[spare cove]

Some people would not believe them if they shared the data.

They'll say its bad, for grifting purposes.

[tropic sentinel]

Hmm I somehow doubt that. Maybe he meant that similar % of players still playing bought it.

[hybrid ore]

Also, I can attest just how many people joined the server around launch of bfb.
my god, the numbers.

[jagged prism]

with BFB and the div 1 throw back season do remember an uptick in questions here about builds and what not

of course mods being busy directing people to their LFG channels because a lot came here looking to get hunter stuff or farming gear

[hybrid ore]

Let's just say that it was a significant boost.
and yeah WONY was a massive point for div2,

[jagged prism]

how many years before wony release?
wasn't that the time they were silent with us and we got the first 4 seasons on repeat, kind of like "this is all we're doing with div 2" then out of the blue here's a DLC WONY!

[hybrid ore]

div2 was 2019, march.
wony was 2020, march.

[jagged prism]

so the first 8 seasons we got, was basically season 1-4 then we got wony

[hybrid ore]

it's a bit confusing, as they re-ran them in a different order.
but this is all ancient history at this point.

[jagged prism]

pretty much i know, just the time i remember getting into div 2 and seeing the seasons repeated and was ready to quit playing

[thick yarrow]

oh btw with the companions is only 1 allowed with you when playing solo or is it up to 3?

[tender wave]

Only one companion, whether you're solo or in a group

[tropic sentinel]

Will you be able to have 4 players + 4 companions, or it will be up to group limit anyway.

[tender wave]

One for the whole group

[tropic sentinel]

Well that's meh then. Imagine 8 player countdown or raid with 8 companions.

[tender wave]

Pretty sure they're not available in raids or countdown at all (or DZ, or incursion)

[tropic sentinel]

Didn't modifiers work in countdown?

[jagged prism]

wouldn't work. they stated only 1 companion out. it'd just be 7 players fighting to keep their companion out over everyone elses companion

[tropic sentinel]

Well at least it would be something fun.

[hybrid ore]

You do get to keep 3 companions in total, but can only use one of them at a time.

and you can trade one for one with a better attribute.
levelling up 1, levels up any companion of that "archetype", so the 1 you have/get of that, is increased already.

they did tell us that if you're in a group and someone else gets their companion out, everyone still gets the bonuses as if they had one out too.

[west lantern]

Moving along with a companion is fun but they aren't capable of handling legendaries lmao

[jagged prism]

i expect the companions being like the friendly captain attacking a control point. going down a lot or going to revive you but move away if an enemy is too close and never reviving you 😹

[tropic sentinel]

Don't forget getting stuck 3 areas behind like a drone.

[thin oasis]

I would expect them to spend more time in the way than being helpful

[west lantern]

I think they are a bit more aggressive, and they talk to you a lot

[small spear]

so... like matchmaking

[jagged prism]

i haven't gotten a companion yet, but i don't think they'd help me aside using the medic as a revive hive 😹

[west lantern]

I see emp explosions when companion kills enemy sometimes but I couldn't find any notes for that. Does anyone know what's going on?

[kind veldt]

Is it from an enemy modifiers?

[west lantern]

Ah enemy mods, I forgot about that

[tender wave]

yup

worth reading the enemy modifier descriptions ingame, they include some notes on how to remove that annoying damage reduction

[dire swift]

Hello everyone can someone help me get permission can I help time tom cleansey's is resistance mobile please who do I have to talk to ?

[west lantern]

permission?

[dire swift]

Sorry I have bad spelling trouble

[tender wave]

there's a separate discord for the mobile game

[dire swift]

Where do I find that ?

[tender wave]

just google 'division resurgence discord' and it'll give you the link

[dire swift]

Ok thank you very much I appreciate it

Could not find it

?

Can someone send me a link please

Have the Blacklisters been fixed yet? I feel dirty using them, like devs will think I'm cheating.

[jagged prism]

who knows
#division-tweets message

[spare cove]

Then don't use them in legendaries

Cuz if they don't get added again, but pemnantly, due to the community "feedback", I will never forgive them.

[lyric sigil]

that supposed to be fixed, that's why there was a maintenance yesterday

[jagged prism]

so was the tinkerer glitch but i saw a video that the glitch lives

[zinc shadow]

that's exactly what I'd want tbh

[tawdry bramble]

it's been FOREVER since I've actually ran a full session in div2 y'all; what's this new update like

is it any good orrrrrrrr?

[loud fox]

it's good

[remote lynx]

i have two exotics but they dont have the same attributes why? did i miss something?

two Strega ARs with different att

[west lantern]

well that has been a thing for a while, rng attribute

[remote lynx]

can i reroll the third attribute on my St. Elmo? i want DTOoC

i have headshot damage

[west lantern]

sure you can

[plain oyster]

does anyone know how to get the two strap hound backpack?

[tender wave]

Whether a bag appears one-strap or two-strap depends on the apparel they're worn with. You don't get two different backpack versions you can choose between.

[lilac elbow]

Any of you guys here own the seeker mine vfx pumpkin? Does it work with cluster mines?

Like little pumpkins, or not. Only single seeker mines?

[signal grail]

I heard of the companion system, can we give them the gear we have to equip?

[west lantern]

no

[signal grail]

Oh they're just self-existing npcs?

[kind veldt]

it's some true sons who rebelled against their current leader

[west lantern]

they're basically better friendly npc in terms of flexibility

we can make them focus fire on specific target, move to cover, etc

[signal grail]

Ah cool, so theres lore. I was thinking if it was possible to swap their weapon types and stuff

[vital quiver]

trying to complete grand washington hotel today and kelso is just following me around at the end, she won't open the door to rescue eleanor

[clever moss]

I can dm you the patch notes if you want a quick read

Basically red, blue, yellow companions

[kind veldt]

they have some basic archtypes but should follow that NPC type loudout

assault with AR, engineer with shotgun and medic with SMG

[plain oyster]

they are surface level companions, they have the same damage as a skill tier 0 assault turret and they have less hp than an assault turret and they die all the time, a walking hologram aka deadweight

[plain oyster]

any of them female?

i only got the assault for now,

[signal grail]

Oh all that information is giving enough faith to trust in the system, thanks for the offer Dj.

[west lantern]

all male

*as far as I've encountered

[clever moss]

No problem. The coolest tidbit is you’ll get them as a 5th member if you’re full squad and everyone can summon theirs since they’re on a timer

[plain oyster]

wow, nothing better than middle aged man groaning and moaning into my ears from the top of their lungs as they run into enemy fire and die

[clever moss]

One active at a time, but each member can summon theirs when the timer runs out from the previous agent

[west lantern]

they seem to be enjoying yelling random things, so I'm okay with it

[plain oyster]

you gotta be joking with me

[clever moss]

Knowing massive, doubt

[west lantern]

Concentrated Co. seems to be a good support gear imo

[clever moss]

Is that’s the set thats the current seasonal mod?

[west lantern]

yes the latest one in the pts

the stack buffs your allies, including agents but not only your companion

[clever moss]

Nice I thought it was cool theyre essentially keeping it, ninja gonna be in rotation with that and tipping

[west lantern]

the downside is that 2-3 pieces bonuses are crap so you gotta heavily rely on stacking buffs to start with

[clever moss]

Not surprising though, cant make it too easy

[shadow hemlock]

Greetings everyone, yesterday I completed the climax mission in Masters and received the pistol and kneepads, so far so good, but I noticed that I'm missing a communication dialogue since it says I have 14 out of 15 and I've done the mission several times and checked everything and haven't received anything, is it a bug or am I actually missing something?

[west lantern]

it's a bug, you aren't missing anything

forget about it for now

[cyan musk]

will the desktop goose app set off the anticheat?

[cyan musk]

scout 7 is linked to the scout 6 comm incorrectly

[lyric sigil]

if you refer to the comms under the manhunt pact, then yes, it's a bug, it shows 15, but there are only 14 actually
https://trello.com/c/Bxi1UZS2

[cyan musk]

can you copy paste the stuff I can't log on for the pts

[kind veldt]

you can see the new stuff on #patch-notes

[cyan musk]

is the new set an amplifier or does it stack with red cores?

[remote lynx]

How do i get food to donate?

[cyan musk]

go to food resource nodes

the icon is a tin can

[kind veldt]

Havent tested the set yet

[thin oasis]

Open stuff in the world, you'll find food alot.

Random question but does anyone know what voie synth is used for the text to speech chat transcription

[stable sand]

How accurate is the aim of enemies 👀 from far distance with smg they melting you armor so fast Ubisoft logic fr

[viscid roost]

So if ubisoft goes under completely and liquidates, who would you want TD to be sold to

[hushed bridge]

Fix. Nemesis. Glitch. Pleeeeasssseeeee.

[lament pawn]

well. i was right, the sheriff IS a slug gun

[sly tundra]

it has pellets.

[lament pawn]

wut?

[sly tundra]

#1438522680486793266 if you guys wants to talk about PTS stuff more in a specfic channel

[lament pawn]

ok ill check it

[sly tundra]

There no dev's here.. What glitch are you talking about?

[hushed bridge]

The one where they shoot nemesis as a 1k rpm machine gun

[sly tundra]

Soo Decent Nemesis?

Not the weapon Nemesis?

I am lost.

Your context is confusing to me..

[dense anchor]

Think he means the one cheater you might see in probably Countdown once in 1000 missions.

[jagged prism]

@sly tundra think waht they mean is the hackers who does things like that

[sly tundra]

Ah a cheater using Nemesis...

[jagged prism]

@hushed bridge did you record it and reported the cheater doing this?

[kind veldt]

i'll just go ahead and say it to contact support to report players

[hushed bridge]

Record what? I cant specate him. I report 10 cheaters a day, its no use. Just fix the glitch instead

*spectate

[hushed bridge]

Countdown, lol. No, the weapon nemesis. In conflict. In dz. Its a sniper and they glitch it to have smg rmp

Why would i care if someone cheats in countdown, its pve 😄

[lament pawn]

oh yeah...then thats a problem

[hushed bridge]

Report where exactly?

[jagged prism]

ubisoft forums, why do you think it's a glitch?

[sly tundra]

ubi discord

[hushed bridge]

Because its the tinkerer mask glitch and it started around that time. They glitch it to have the 2nd talent (which usually is increased fire rate) to nemesis even tho it shouldnt happen. Then switch to armor regen build and melt ppl with nemesis that shoots 1k rounds per minute with 1.5mil dmg per round. It melts everyone, lol

Been up for weeks, its surprising you've never seen it

[sly tundra]

Um not with nemises

have you seen it this week?

[hushed bridge]

Yes. Thats the "glitchy" part

I've seen it in PREVIOUS conflict match 10min ago

[jagged prism]

kind of hard to see when you solo 99.99999% of the time

[hushed bridge]

Perhaps its better with ps5 servers 👍

[hushed bridge]

Sad to hear you have to solo a multiplayer game. Come to xbox. We can be friends

[remote crypt]

I havent come across a cheater on PS5 but I always solo

[jagged prism]

yeah, hackers would say that too you know?

[hushed bridge]

No, they dont have enough brain cells to communicate

[remote crypt]

If anyone is on PS5 and wants to play let me know

[sly tundra]

Look into the id:browse LFG channel for that

[hushed bridge]

Soooo.. where are the ubisoft forums/discord? Can anyone dm? Since this discord is actually advertised ingame, i didnt know there would be a need of another one, lol

[sly tundra]

Ok we can chill off Poly. If you have video you can go to the offical discord and start a new ticket there

[hushed bridge]

Can u dm me link?

[sly tundra]

They need video for the post to see it make it go up

dunno if i can here one sec

[hushed bridge]

[sly tundra]

no

[hushed bridge]

Dont post it here

If anyone is playing the PTS would you mind DM'ing me a screenshot of your companions traits please?

[jagged prism]

any particular companion?

[sly tundra]

#1438519985843470520 is a group of them

[fallow sentinel]

Any please 🙂

[fallow sentinel]

I looked there but I need to see the Trait information

I think there is a certain way the system is working that gives the chances of what rolls you can get, just need picutres to confirm 🙂

[jagged prism]

sent ya the 3 i have unlocked so far AKA oen of each archetype

[sly tundra]

I meant for players that are on PTS

[shadow hemlock]

@lyric sigil thansk for info. Bro

[vivid sierra]

Can someone tell me where my journey rewards are under?

[jagged prism]

on pc hit Esc key, click on The Pact on the far right of the screen then you'll see tabs uptop one will be journey

[vivid sierra]

Oh my god thank you.

[shell laurel]

Weird question but if you got a gold weapon with a higher dps than your exotic, do you switch to it? I have an ACR with about 125k dps than my Elmo being at 109k, think i should stick with the elmo or switch over but losing to the talent?the acr's talent is armor regen on kill

[clever moss]

Short answer. Do what synergizes with your build

Are they both optimized?

[sly tundra]

Exotics/Named Weapons/Gear aren't always the best nor is needed for every build.

But like spoonie said..

[clever moss]

There’s never a right or wrong answer, again depends on playstyle

[sly tundra]

btw those number are kind of confusing DPS should be +9mill

[shell laurel]

still low level, about 405-409.

[sly tundra]

Doesn't change it that much.

[shell laurel]

the elmo yes, i havent optimized the acr yet

[sly tundra]

.....

the base of the build still do a lot

[shell laurel]

striker 4, coyote & a unbreakable chest piece

[sly tundra]

Stop using unbreakable

use exo glove if you have it or memento

A talent is only as good as it's uptime

[haughty egret]

Use a ceska chest with Obliterate

[vital valve]

Has anyone had any issues receiving their Halloween twitch drops still?

[haughty egret]

As Chow already said you can use the Exodus gloves for a fake unbreakable, and a Striker's mask to replace Coyote's

[strong mauve]

Unbreakable, Exodus, Rev Hive = 4 lives (3 extra)

If you do banjai charge alot, its worth trying

[signal ruin]

Idk what I should be doing now I'm level 40, can someone play with me

[reef tartan]

Find a build you want to go for and grind for the gear

[signal ruin]

A build I want

Alr

[strong mauve]

Tbh this is all for lvl 40 lmao

Raids and incursions are fun, but countdown and summit is pure pain and agony for target loot

But worth every penny IMO

[reef tartan]

Ive been having fun with the incursions

[signal ruin]

What's incursions

And how do I do summit

[haughty egret]

The incursion is on the top left of the DC map, also called Paradise Lost. It's one of the most difficult missions in the game.

Summit is pretty much clearing floor after floor, 100 in total. Every 10th has a boss and every 5th is a checkpoint

[cyan musk]

how many exotic components do I need to rank 30 a gun?

also is countdown the best way to farm opti mats

[lunar hare]

just sent it

[crisp geyser]

Any way to get the quickstep? Im just coming back

[strong mauve]

Summit is available via NY & D.C. map, top of far-right side (D.C.). It has a big ass building as background image, and icon looks like fedora.

Summit has rogue-lite playstyle, so if you don't really like repeated objectives and boss fights, it might be little boring.

As Momo explained, it has checkpoint at every 5 floors (floor 6, floor 11, floor 16…)
And boss fights at every 10 floors (floor 11, floor 21, floor 31…)

The Summit has total 100 floors, the last boss fight (100th floor) is Hunters. They always spawn +1 from your fireteam. (i.e. 2 man fireteam = 3 hunters)

It might be boring, but for loots, its worth a shot.

[signal ruin]

So I need the warlords dlc

[strong mauve]

Yep.

[vivid sierra]

I'm not sure abourt plsaydstation, but I don't own any dlc and I have access tpo summit.

[strong mauve]

I kinda dont remember the DLC is needed or not

[lyric sigil]

go on your map and check if you have the summit in the top right in DC

[strong mauve]

Already have all so

[signal ruin]

I see it but I can't click on it to ro anything

I can start a match making for it tho

[lyric sigil]

when you select it doesn't give you the fast travel option? 🤔

[signal ruin]

Nvm I can now

[strong mauve]

Good yard

[signal ruin]

I'm soloing

[gaunt trout]

dmg isnt dps. rof fire plays in, consistency too. as well as mods. exos often outperform elite or gold quality, cus of strong mods, higher bullet dmg or higher rof (rate of fire)

elmos "power" is consistently good mods, high stability, horrifing (for the enemy) clip and ammo stores (free 75 shock every 100 bullets landed) and so stable can shoot across the map and hit target and cc them over and over

also has like 1k rate of fire with stiker

I love my bighorn to death, he can put out crazy dmg per bullet, but hes inconsistent and lacks rof and good mods. so despite high bullet dmg, loses consistently to elmo or cham ect

Im just a masochist

[reef tartan]

St elmos definitely spoiled the community a bit for a good overall gun

[vivid sierra]

SMG weapons are more on critical hits, right?

[gaunt trout]

elmo is if striker was a gun

if striker is ez mode, elmo is its baby sister

[kind veldt]

yeah, they naturally have crit chance with makes it easier to focus on crit damage

Iron Lung is probably my favorite, was using Elmo’s for awhile but then I messed around with Burn Out and Iron Lung and haven’t swapped off since

[gaunt trout]

smg is +21% crit chance. which with watch is 31% and you can add up to 15% to a legend quality, hitting, 46%? then just go all crit dmg and 1 6% chance

[rapid summit]

Should actually go grab Huntsman to replace Burn Out

[gaunt trout]

technically you can also go for 100% optimal range and use unwavering, which I genuily like, and you get a basically high power ar

also ceska is usually amazing for not exo slot

Does doing missions on heroic and legendary give better rewards than challenging? I'm trying to up my gear.

[vivid sierra]

Ah. Ty.

@vivid sierra The way difficulty works in div2, is that the higher difficulty a thing is, the better the worst possible rolls are, so on average you'll get better stuff in higher difficulties.
but as long as you're playing on Challenging or higher, you're fine, since that means you're only getting gold/gearset/exotic drops.

Note: for Countdown: just do Challenging. It scales weirdly, so it's best with that.

[vivid sierra]

So are people doing the higher levels because they have higher SHD and proficiencies in their gear?

[lunar hare]

their ego is bigger than their knowledge

[full zinc]

people tackle higher difficulties when they have a higher skill level... all the proficiency in the world wont save anyone

[lunar hare]

but, heroic outside of countdown, doesn't require high knowledge or a maxed build, just good awareness and positioning

[jaunty haven]

heroic countdown is only a problem if your squad is a bunch of monkes

if you have 3 guys out of 8 who knows what they are doing you clean that out easily
