[frail vortex]

Did you create character at WONY? Did you level or boost to 30 and then start the expansion? Do you have Brooklyn DLC?

[hollow hill]

get to the base of ops in WONY and then it will allow you to leave

mag size and crit mods

[full arrow]

Awesome ty

[hybrid stump]

No . I am at level 40+. I have WONY expansion. I started playing it , though I should do some projects in between killing rouges so wanted to travel back to dc

[hybrid stump]

Thanks it's worked .

[muted anvil]

Wait same problem! How do I get to the base of ops in WONY, the map won’t let me fast travel anywhere?? I feel like an idiot!🫣🥴

[frail vortex]

Follow Kelso and do the first mission, after which she will escort you to the base, check in with Paul Rhodes and then you can fast travel and leave WONY

[muted anvil]

Ahhh ok! Thx ill
Do that 🤙🏻

[hybrid ore]

Just so everyone knows: You get the Gold Skin for the Stack Broker if you played div1 or div2 before March 11, 2019.

[uneven stirrup]

I received bronze, silver and gold.

[lofty vector]

the gold one looks sick with the carbon fibre~

[hybrid ore]

I still prefer Zodiac overall, but all 3 colours will work on specific outfits, so I'm happy.

silver+green is a strong look

[wise basalt]

just notice that sweet dream is missing from expertise table for some reason

[floral ore]

probably because lullaby is there

[hybrid ore]

Never noticed it before, but it's the same gun as Lullaby, just a skin for it.

[floral ore]

seems kinda weird tho because you have to pay to expertise a sweet dream lol

[elfin hazel]

played the beta but I got silver max wack

meanwhile my partner who didnt buy until way after WoNY got gold sure why not

[keen kayak]

Stop playing Blue Core Striker in Legendary missions

[inner willow]

I will never have gold in any of these type of skin events. But that is ok it gives something to the players that were here since the beginning. 👍

[keen kayak]

Division 1 player?

[elfin hazel]

dont think so

[remote lynx]

I swear Central chat is wild lol

[keen kayak]

So I'm giving 39% DMG to enemies and Blue Core Strikers can't kill STILL!! Please for all that is right in the world play Striker as an aggressor

[spare cove]

I'm more of a fan of Tipping Scales in Legendary Missions

[frozen holly]

Is his ubisoft account older than 2019? :think:

[hybrid ore]

Yeah the wording on the Veteran Rewards page was "first logon before march 2019", and that definitely counts div1 as well, as I can confirm.

[dense anchor]

Feels weird Veteran = I logged in once vs any playtime metrics.

[floral ore]

yeah there definitely should have been a hours played requirement

[hybrid ore]

Not everyone has a lot of time to put into video-games, this is just a good way to not punish the busy folks.

[elfin hazel]

played div beta on march 4th which is before the march 11th deadline ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[dense anchor]

You're not a Veteran because you logged in one time 6 years ago. Early supporter? Sure, by all means. Not a Veteran, though.

[hybrid ore]

Gate-keeping getting a skin for a mediocre shotgun.
Yeah that tracks for this server.

[deep patio]

would you prefer them only giving you gold if you played for x amounts of hours instead?

i played D2 private beta back in ps4 and i would be mildly infuriated if i didnt get my golden skin on pc

[dense anchor]

You're putting words into my mouth now.

[floral ore]

it doesnt need to be like 2k hours

just like 40 or something over a span of 5 years is nothing even if you play 10 mins a day

[dense anchor]

None of that is even remotely what I said or would have suggested. Tracks for this server as well.

[hybrid ore]

Not everyone with very low play-times "only logged in once". Maybe they played a ton of div1, then only picked up div2 recently.

[remote lynx]

I have an idea how about Veteran skins for all weapons "Gold" "Sliver" and "Bronze"

why just the shotgun

[hybrid ore]

Why does any of this matter? It's a skin for a single shotgun, one you probably aren't going to use a whole lot.

[dense anchor]

Lol that's fine then. I'm just saying, only giving it to people that logged in 6 years ago or whatever is a really poor metric, and it's extremely poorly worded as a reward type.

[hybrid ore]

Not really.

it's just a skin, there's no point in gate-keeping it this hard.

If you just want people to agree with you, try saying something more universally accepted. Like "striker is good".

[dense anchor]

You're not even making sense. Now you're gate-keeeping it from people that might have played a LOT, but might not have been around years and years ago. It's the same thing. You can't have it both ways and argue.

[hybrid ore]

I'm not arguing, I'm discussing.

[dense anchor]

Same difference.

[hybrid ore]

It's clear we're not going to agree on this, so let's just call it even.

[dense anchor]

Do I actually care, no not at all. I couldn't care less about a skin for a gun in all honesty. That doesn't change the fact the way it's worded and the qualifications are really poor.

[lament pawn]

hey, just came up with a brilliant throught

can we have alternative specialty weapon? like a barret 50cal instead of a TAC50

[deep patio]

so a skin is what ur proposinf

[hybrid ore]

Is there a functional difference between those two guns?

[keen kayak]

Don't they already have skins for the sig weapons?

And the TAC 50 is a Barret I thought

[hybrid ore]

I googled it, the "tac 50" is a different brand.

It seems to be like Coke Vs Pepsi.

[keen kayak]

looks the same

Maybe the buttstock is a little different

[deep patio]

well the only key difference from my general observation is that the tac 50 is bolt action while the barret is semi auto

[hybrid ore]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McMillan_TAC-50
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrett_M82
They do look incredibly similar.

[thin oasis]

Yep, the M82 is semi auto though, while the Tac50 is bolt action,

[keen kayak]

Barret also makes a bolt action 50

[hybrid ore]

Well by the rule of video games, that would mean the barret is weaker.

remember: the slower a gun fires in a game: the stronger it is.

[thin oasis]

Indeed, both are AMRs though, so there should be no enemy in Div2 that survives being shot with one lol

[keen kayak]

I think in the military the 50 I saw was bolt action

[lament pawn]

oh i mean actually, M82 is semi, lower damage, but no need to think about missing a shot or two and have to take extra long time, also comes with a thermal scope(robocop cobra cannon)

[keen kayak]

And that was a Barret

[hybrid ore]

Well, a barret with stuff glued to it.

[keen kayak]

That was anti-materiel though

[hybrid ore]

I think I can safely say that we have enough similar looking weapons already in div2, and if we're going to add more, can they at least have a different function/appearance.

[thin oasis]

Both the Tac50 and M82 are Anti material Rifles

[keen kayak]

If you ever fired a .50 BMG though being semi-automatic is not going to speed up your shots lol

atleast shots that hit the target

[thin oasis]

M82 and Tac50 would both obliterate entirely any human target they hit.

The entire point is moot tbh.

[lament pawn]

and we can have XM25 to switch between MGL and it,
portable metal storm system to replace minigun,
actual chargeable compound bow that fires like minecraft,
and a smart gun, for replacing the rpg technitian have

[thin oasis]

They're designed for armoured military targets. A Hyena Rusher in a crop top isn't going to stand a chance. Head or not.

[keen kayak]

There is a reason Mama Deuce is a mounted weapon

a .50 BMG will burn you and tear skin just from the shockwave getting close to you

If it hits what ever it hits no longer exists

[lament pawn]

but flamethrower? idk, maybe a welding gun? idk, tbh

[keen kayak]

welders need a circuit to operate so a welding gun would need you to connect a ground

[lament pawn]

I think it would be a good idea to stuff that content into survival mode, u can collect parts of it through puzzle solving in survival mode, or smth

[lament pawn]

THE ENEMY IS THE GROUND

[keen kayak]

That is why Tasers throw out 2 darts, to complete the circuit

If both don't hit the taser doesn't work

[lament pawn]

i mean, function wise, this would constantly apply fire, and electric to a single enemy, so a concentrated damage instead of aoe

[keen kayak]

Tasers don't apply fire though they ram voltage into you, they would only spark to apply fire if the darts contacted each other an set your clothes on fire

I have seen tasers do that, spark and light things on fire

But only handheld

The gun variant unless they fall and force the darts together they will never touch

[lament pawn]

yeah, i do know that, but its welding gun, much MORE powerful, melts through much more things, ever seen a oxyacetylene torch?

[keen kayak]

Oxyacetylene is different that a welder and would have to be a melee weapon

[lament pawn]

emmmmm, im open to melee weapon

[keen kayak]

but flamethrower aready exists

[lament pawn]

yeah, thats why i cant think of a good replacement to flamethrower, a flamethrower is a flamethrower, the closest thing is a M79 GL firing napalm rounds i guess

[deep patio]

ok but spec weapons are generally useless and its just better to shoot your main gun

unless its the hollywood event

when u have your builds figured out, u never use specs because the weapons take 3 business days to swap to and another 10 business days to swap back whenever u wanna use a skill or other weapons

[keen kayak]

I use my minigun

[lament pawn]

ehhhhh.... not always, if ur using high-end material its also good, especially if combined with minigun and tipping scales

but still, its the ammo capacity that really made it useless

cant kill enough before have to pickup more ammo

[keen kayak]

Minigun with Advanced Materiel is god mode

[lament pawn]

"i am heavy weapons guy"

[deep patio]

they are useful if ur on low difficulty to help clear ads

otherwise ur main gun is better in every way

but yes high end material + minigun is how i imagined the minigun

otherwise i still have my handy lmg

[keen kayak]

My favorite class in TF2

[lament pawn]

yeah ur right

[keen kayak]

And you use healer drone at T6 with 6 red cores, crazy DMG lol

[lament pawn]

I mostly forget them unless i need it to do stuff like maneuvers, or just pissed cuz my headhunter damage is not enough, i would pull out TAC or stuff

[keen kayak]

The only thing that sucks about Advance Materiel and Minigun is you can't pop a t6 Smart Cover and then mount the minigun on cover

If you could do that OMG so game breaking

[deep patio]

blindfiring with a minigun

[keen kayak]

no like deploying it like a mounted gun

[lament pawn]

like rikers?

[keen kayak]

Advanced Materiel give 6 skill tiers

so you pop bonus, shoot Smart Cover then deploy Fixer Drone and mount Minigun

Literal godmod gunner, but can't mount minigun on cover

Sadface🙁

[deep patio]

fixer drone is shit tho twin

[keen kayak]

At tier 6 it's ok

[deep patio]

thats the problem, even at tier 6 its ok and not great 😔

[lament pawn]

at least its a "release and forget" skill

or its better to have decoy or mg turret

[deep patio]

but it does nothing tho and there are better skills to use if you wanted to "avoid" damage😔

[keen kayak]

The goal isn't to avoid DMG it's to get back in the fight sooner

But with the Minigun you kill things so fast lol

[deep patio]

if u want to get back in a fight sooner then consider uhhhh dealing high damage to delete your enemies

or get a healer 😎

[keen kayak]

So if something shoots you just shoot back and they are dead

[lament pawn]

bridie pack 4 life babyyyyyy

[keen kayak]

But yeah Tipping Scales or Striker with Gunner and Advanced Materiel is just so strong it's godmode

[lament pawn]

affirmative

[deep patio]

very niche exotic tho because if you have to be the safety net while your team kisses the floor every 0.1s, theres a problem with your team

and then the times u have it on, your team never goes down so its a dead exotic

[keen kayak]

You know how many times I seen 4-6 blue core Strikers dying all the time?

[deep patio]

hmm i wonder

[keen kayak]

Like I use 6 red core and I don't die that much

[deep patio]

because u kill stuff faster so its less likely for you to get overwhelmed

[keen kayak]

EXACTLY

[lament pawn]

4-6 blue core is mostly good only if u have memento or that exotic glove that tosses a smoke bomb after armor is broken

[keen kayak]

A good offense is the best defence: Chuck Norris

[lament pawn]

u know what? with 6 blue core, heartbreaker would be a better choice, with memento

[deep patio]

some people have 0 situational awareness tho

i still see people running tank on leg

i still see people running high blue core striker despite having a healer on the team

refractor is goated ngl i get bored of always having to play FI healer on every leg match

[keen kayak]

I was playing Future Initiative with Scorpio The Setup and Smart Cover max stacking the enemy right in front of us and the Blue Core Striker still couldn't kill before we got overran

If I check your build and you got blue on Strikers I out

[deep patio]

🙏

heartbreaker exists if u wanted some blue on ur armor yk

[lament pawn]

like, most extra armor is based off percentage, which means more armor=more extra armor, although i would like to call it "barrier", so 6 blue core, plus memento, can stack that barrier to the max

althought its only good for single that is, multiplayer? please go full red scale or striker

hell, negotiator isnt that popular anymore, sad

[keen kayak]

I play single Heroic 4 Directives everyday either 6 red or yellow

You don't need blues to survive

What you need is awarness

[lament pawn]

also, we need a buff on patriot gearset(

[keen kayak]

how is it with 6 reds?

[lament pawn]

Set bonus (2): +30% Ammo Capacity
Set bonus (3): +30% Magazine Size
Set bonus (4): Talent: Red, White, and Blue
Enemies you shoot receive stacking debuffs of Red/White/Blue. Changes every 2 seconds.
Red: Amplifies the enemy's damage taken by 8%. White: Hitting the enemy restores you and your allies' armor by 2% once every seconds. Blue: Decreases enemy damage dealt by 8%
Full Flag: Enemies that die while under the effect of all three debuffs create a 5m explosion, dealing damage equal to their total health and armor. Explosion strength is reduced on named enemy deaths
Backpack Talent: Patriotic Boost
Increases Red, White, and Blue debuff strength.
Red: From 8% to 12%. White: From 2% to 3%. Blue: From 8% to 12%
Chest Talent: Waving the Flag
Increases Red, White, and Blue rotation to 1.5 seconds.

[remote lynx]

How about a universal veteran skin that can be equipped to all weapon in the game.

[lament pawn]

yep, ur looking at the numbers, thats the exact number that goes on it, as it it can be stacked

[balmy coral]

friendly reminder agents: taking a small break once and a while will make sure your having fun taking back DC and NY

[lament pawn]

@keen kayak also, ever seen a player with umbra that plays really good?

uhhh

i took it right off wiki, its the buff of true patriot, but i think adding a zero in all the numbers are not overpowered

[kind veldt]

I mean thats what the div1 shields were

[keen kayak]

Oh man Mr. Chow is going to be mad

[kind veldt]

?

[remote lynx]

After I play Division 2 for a long time and go to bed, I close my eyes and still see the gameplay, especially killing mobs.

[balmy coral]

yeah lol

[remote lynx]

What's this? Division 2 PTSD?

[balmy coral]

sometimes i feel like we need a AI system like ISAC.. and im not fully sure

[rustic sleet]

do skill tiers effect status effect damage or just duration?

[remote lynx]

I downloaded a couple of ISAC sounds on my phone

[crimson osprey]

Any one look at the notes on trello? What do you think for next week?

[remote lynx]

I did set Div2's Pentagon soundtrack as wake up ringtone.

[thin oasis]

Bit weird that...

[kind veldt]

It varies from skill to skill

[rustic sleet]

Wdym

[small spear]

some skills don't change duration, other skills do but they change in different ways

same goes for damage

you gotta read the skill description to know if it does, the skill tier scaling would specify it

[kindred sigil]

I need some help. I'm a returning player. I am trying to extract Lucky Shot talent from a gun I have in my inventory but it won't let me. Any idea why?

Also what is extracting talents 1-30 and then 31-40? Why the difference?

[hybrid ore]

@kindred sigil Hey, what's your platform?

[kindred sigil]

PC

Many things are confusing for a returning player. I hear I shouldn't be deconstructing items/weapons but instead put them in the Library or Donate them. How do I Donate items/weapons?

I can't really play without some help.. stuck with full inventory and not sure what to do/how to manage it.

[rustic sleet]

But I said status effects tho

[small spear]

yes, i know

[keen kayak]

Lower than 40 bench doesn't matter you caqn do story mode with starting gear

[small spear]

just read something like banshee pulse for example

[keen kayak]

Once you are 40 though it's for crafting and recalibrating

[kindred sigil]

K so I am 40. I am at the tinkering station. I have a gun that has a Talent I want to extract, but it won't let me.

Also how do I donate things instead of deconstruct them?

[keen kayak]

You'll gain Blueprints which let you craft gear and then when you turn in an attribute to the station it let's you put it on other guns or armor

For trinkering you need to turn in an attribute higher than what your tinkerer station has

[deep patio]

hit the tinkering station, select library, select the weapon type that it is from, select talents, then select the talent name u wanna extract, then it will show u the weapon

[small spear]

what gun is it?

[keen kayak]

You'll have arrows directing you to higher values

[kindred sigil]

I have a Paratrooper SVD with Lucky Shot talent. It's a Marksmans Rifle. When I go to Talents, Marksman Rifles and go to Lucky Shot to extract it, it doesn't say I have any extractable items for Lucky Shot.

It's really confusing why this isn't working.

I get how to extract attributes, but why is this Talent not showing up for me to extract?

[keen kayak]

That not a Rifle?>

[steady solstice]

Evening gang, weird question; has anyone had issues with Craver’s (Hunter) canisters not showing up again after dying to him? I got him to spawn once and died, but now there’s no canisters to try again 🙁

[kindred sigil]

This chat won't let me post a screenshot, but the Paratrooper SVD = Marksman Rifle

[keen kayak]

ok and you don't already have it unlocked?

[lunar hare]

tagged you in another channel

[keen kayak]

sometimes the bench will freak out but if you close the game and open it again it will fix itself

[kindred sigil]

OMG I figured it out. I assumed greyed out meant I had it extracted and white means I need to extract, but it's the opposite. Not very intuitive. So I already have Lucky Shot extracted.

[keen kayak]

well then there you go

[kindred sigil]

Another question though. I have a MR called Relic that has a talent called Perfect Determined. However, in the Talents there is no Perfected Determined, just Determined.

So why isn't Perfect Determined showing up?

[lunar hare]

Perfect talents cannot be extracted

[tacit yoke]

Is making a gun 100% stability a bit to much

[kindred sigil]

So what do I do with this gun? Just keep it forever since it's some rare Talent?

[lunar hare]

it's trash, perfect determined isn't as OP as normal determined

[kindred sigil]

Is it generally better to pull Talents off items or pull Core Attributes/Attributes?

[dusk jackal]

How cool would it be if your have to fight a rogue agent that’s dressed exactly like your own agent and uses the same gear and weapon as you

A evil clone of you basically

[tacit yoke]

dont give the team ideas lol

[dusk jackal]

Hey Ubisoft add this to the game!!

I want chaos, someone recruit me to the hyenas

[spring blaze]

Uh did anyone else's Stack Broker RPM just change from 414 to 360???

[deep patio]

did u turn ur global event on instead of seasonal modifiers or did u unequip strikers

[spring blaze]

I've been running the event the whole week and it was 414 earlier... does strikers increase RPM?

[deep patio]

my brother in christ, strikers increases ur rpm

[spring blaze]

I never noticed lol, but still isn't it supposed to be the fastest one of all 4? Why did it drop all the way to 360

[deep patio]

idk but at least with strikers and seasonal modifier i get like 500 rpm on stack broket

[kind veldt]

striker and seasonal modifier affect rof

[cold narwhal]

How do we get another one

I remember getting a Lexington for every character or was that a bug

[lunar hare]

another what

[sacred spruce]

what does no allies available mean

cant capture control point?

[surreal mural]

fast travel away from CP, and run back there.

[grave timber]

on this day Gordon Amherst released the virus that wipe out the majority of the population and we were activated our world and our life has changed forever

[sacred spruce]

did he really do this

[grave timber]

What are you doing now

[sacred spruce]

idk chilling gaming wby

[grave timber]

What

[grave timber]

No I mean what are you trying to do now by having no allies available

[sacred spruce]

i was trying to do a control point no need to call me out it gets lonely out in the division world

[tacit yoke]

okay if the enemy wants to retaliate i aint fighting

[torn urchin]

why cant i post a suggestion

[cold narwhal]

Jesus im tired of wasting retaliations with randoms

[rustic sleet]

guys im confused, does overlord brand work with MMR

[sacred spruce]

2. 3. stats do rifle no

[rustic sleet]

well i just went against a guy who had it on and thenn had petrov and used only snipers to one shot us when i had 1.7mil armor

2 things that dont work with his build but yet i got one shotted

i just found out he was using also yaahl gear piece as well

[lunar hare]

??????/

then why share a video on how to do it...?

[unique summit]

why post this

[silent mural]

Played TD2 for a bit last night

[rustic sleet]

they not hating, they are saying if its bannable why even post it in chat lol

[unique summit]

@full zinc

[silent mural]

still laggy 😔

[unique summit]

@elfin hazel pls

[lunar hare]

rip...

[unique summit]

thanks

[elfin hazel]

because it's against rule 6 @azure lintel

[azure lintel]

Rule 6???

[eager talon]

Is there a proper way/ritual/trick and or blood sacrifice needed to enable and disable pistolero in open world?

[digital flower]

Sorry I dozed off for like 2 years

how's the Division these days

[sacred spruce]

playable

[digital flower]

Anything notable besides the seasonal story I can hardly stick around too long for

[sacred spruce]

chameleon is fun

[digital flower]

Think this game's going to survive Ubisoft's.. exodus?

It's STILL breathing, and it's still holding last I checked.

[sacred spruce]

idk i just wanna shoot things

[south topaz]

Chameleon and exodus is best combo

[vital cave]

I just had a good roll liquid engineer in the countdown shop did a countdown run and saw it turned into the emperor guards

[eager talon]

You can just matchmake random activity to be moved to another server cluster, usually you can get upto 6 different items per week.

[vital cave]

Oh that’s nice thanks

[eager talon]

There is also decent matador on the CD vendor if you need one

[vital cave]

Got a good matador while ago

[small thistle]

Stretch goals finally blessed me

[jagged prism]

time to accidentally dismantle it and ask how to get it back (> <)

[delicate wasp]

Gotta say the Shepherding has brought out some good team mission players, you know the ones I mean? the ones that wait by the door/entry to the next area so that their team-mates have a chance to collect their loot, cool-down their skills or change builds etc and then muster together for the assault, 💥 🔥 💥 not like those try-hards who run straight in and trigger the enemies to get the most cheap kills 😱 I'm probably starting about 20 missions day using the call for back-up, just to help the players out with their endorsements, I never do the answering, just the calling, so i'm just thanking those that are team orientated, and not those solo Rambo's that play in a team to "try" and impress 😉

[small thistle]

Lmao nearly did that after jumping out my chair

[small thistle]

The shepherding has gotten me crazy XP with the project going on with the 5 X

[jagged prism]

hopefully after your excitement you promptly favorited it

[small thistle]

Always so I don’t do an uh oh

[eager talon]

about 3hrs logged in and only 1 sheparding match making fml..

[small thistle]

All the groups I’ve gotten into have been chill

Which has been nice cause I’m mostly solo play but always fun to get into a good group and game

[remote lynx]

Noob question where is CD vendor?

[small thistle]

But to your last point the last group I joined we were doing Rosevelt on heroic had a guy try to Rambo

Died rage quit

[delicate wasp]

A lot of my buds were saying I'm the only one calling for back-up because they kept joining me by chance, but of course you cant endorse friends or clan

Most players are looking to be called-up, but not to do the calling, it wouldn't be to drastic if every player started the quickest and easiest mission on any difficulty (IMO Lincoln Memorial) now and again and call for back-up, that would give more chance for players in the community to get endorsed

[delicate wasp]

Yeah, its called "I rage quit through embarrassment" 🤣 I only want players to wait a by the door so we all go in together, then after that they can do whatever they want, I really don't care how they play or what level they are or what build they use, just play as a team and have fun killing, dying, laughing and crying 😉 just don't Rambo through the darn door until the whole team is with you 😱 🤣

[wide briar]

Unfriend each other temporarily .each of you sit outside Lincoln one player call for back up through his social menu. The other player hit random matchmake.

[delicate wasp]

Sounds like a plan 👍 although most of my buds are all high levels and have everything they need same as me, even a nice stash of exo components (all acquired legit) it was one or two who said they're not getting the calls.

[jagged prism]

noone's answered. do you know where the events vendor is in white house? go to the left of that along the wall there's a laptop

[delicate wasp]

Those fine fellows at Ubisoft 😠 nerfed the token amount for fully completing countdown on challenging, but kept the price for one exo cache at 224 tokens 😢

[jagged prism]

someone's asked where to find it, i just pointed them to it

[deep patio]

in late endgame ur better off spending those tokens for opti caches

for early endgame its still useful to buy these exotic caches to get some of ur desired exotics to start building, but itd be ridiculous if u could buy one exotic cache every cd round

[delicate wasp]

I knew someone that had over 2000 tokens and never realized there was a countdown shop to spend them in 🤣

[deep patio]

[hybrid ore]

I don't recall the game ever actually telling you about the laptop vendor, outside of a loading screen tooltip.

[fluid meadow]

They call it requisition
I don't even know that word!

[hybrid ore]

That one's on you.

the appropriation of goods for military or public use

[delicate wasp]

TBH I play countdown for the love of it, I use to always get an exo drop every game, sometimes 3, but that's dried up for some reason, I think the exo's/exo components are still the most important things to get (especially being the hardest to come by) the amount you need to expertise up past 12 to 30 is astronomical 😱

[hybrid ore]

Costs have been tweaked a lot since back in the day.

Current costs table:

[delicate wasp]

I'm sure I just used 9 exo components for expertise 30 on a skill 🤔

I just saw your chart is only up to 27%

So following on will be a second 8 and two 9's

[hybrid ore]

It's the most recently pinned chart AFAIK, could do with an update.

[lunar hare]

sending the updated chart in community

[rustic sleet]

Is there a difference in summit targeted loot vs targeted loot on the map?

[delicate wasp]

So if my calculator is working properly, its 90 exo components ( along with the standard ones) to expertise one item, if you level up a complete build, inc specialized weapon, 3 guns 9 clothing items and 2 skills, your looking at 1,080 exo components 😱

[lunar hare]

you can select TL on both Summit and Countdown & LZ TL is random
No loot difference*

[rustic sleet]

So no like percent is higher its still the same right?

[fluid meadow]

Imagine if we could expertise grenades....

[lunar hare]

nothing changes basically

[rustic sleet]

Thanks for your help

[hybrid ore]

The way to increase TL drops is adding Directives, or sheer volume of loot so you get more overall.
the former is Summit, the latter is Countdown.

the latter is better, basically.

[delicate wasp]

Talking of grenades, if you need more and you go to an ammo box and it wont open because your gun ammo is full, you cant collect a grenade from it, just fire of a few rounds so the box opens and you can get your bit of ammo back plus the grenade, some people knew that, but some didn't blah blah blah 🤪

[hybrid ore]

Grenade boxes are separate from ammo boxes, just so you know.

They look similar to the health ones.

Going to a safe zone (BoO, safehouse) resupplies everything you have.

[delicate wasp]

I always use the incendiary grenades, and I have to get them from the same box as the ammo, cant speak for other types, coz I don't use them

I'm talking about in missions, I use a status build, and the incendiaries work well with it, so always using them

[hybrid ore]

I've never had to actually check, but I'm 90% sure that the blue ammo boxes don't supply grenades.

grenade boxes give one of each type though, spec and concussion.

[delicate wasp]

Well, when I go to an ammo box and its locked, I fire off some ammo and then it opens to replenish the ammo, and I also get a grenade with it, I do it in every mission and countdown, might just be the incendiaries it works with, i'll try it later with a different type of grenade

[hybrid ore]

Potentially a bug, but hey seems to be working for you.

[delicate wasp]

At last, a bug that works in my favour 😁

[wide briar]

Did they fix the bug when you got your watch during the 5X event and it would max out the event for you?

[blazing citrus]

whats the opinions on the new named acs-12

[lime depot]

Any xboxers have a couple houndsman bounties they’d be willing to run to help me chance a quickstep?

[delicate wasp]

The Quickstep will drop on the first doggy wave before you even go into the building to fight the bad boy, just use a DPS build and a turret and its easy peezy

You should still find a few players that still have the bounties left

[lyric sigil]

No, there are no drops, only the Event Cache when you complete the bounty

[delicate wasp]

Are the doggys not there anymore, or if they are, you saying they wont drop Quickstep ?

[lyric sigil]

The doggys are there but the event is ended so no drops at all. The only way to get the quickstep is from the event cache you get when the bounty is completed

[delicate wasp]

Is it a guaranteed drop

[lyric sigil]

I am not sure if it’s always one of the items in the cache but at least a very high chance

[delicate wasp]

I've still got a few left, and luckily I unlocked them on normal, so they're on normal, good for low level noobs to quickly complete with me

[blazing citrus]

i have 4 challenging houndsman bounties still :3

[lyric sigil]

I had ~20 and helped others to get the QS if they missed the event, still have 5

[south topaz]

Start bounty and change character and re join > u'll not lose the bounty in main char > unlimited helping

[lyric sigil]

since I don't really need the QS, isn't the same if I just leave the group?
because I won't complete the bounty 🤔

[south topaz]

Maybe yes no idea

[delicate wasp]

So I went to a safe-house to restock, went outside and used up both sets of grenades (concussion and EMP) no bullets used, went to the ammo box just inside of the DUA canopy area, but it was locked because my bullets were full, fired a few bullets and the ammo box opened to replenish my bullets, it also gave me an EMP grenade ... so I repeated the process but instead of the EMP grenades being ticked, I ticked the concussion grenades (although both were empty as before) and when I opened the box I got the ammo and a concussion grenade, and worked the same again with a different build using incendiary grenades, so i'm going to see if it works with some buds, in case it is a bug 😉

[hollow hill]

It honestly sounds like a bug, albeit miniscule since you said you only get 1 grenade

[delicate wasp]

Its only one grenade per ammo box, until a certain amount of time passes, I get the normal amount from safe-houses and I can pick them up and stack them from enemy drops, if its just an lone ammo box and my gun is full I have to use bullets so it opens, then it gives me a grenade (unless I'm already full)

[pliant sentinel]

give me the alejandro

[hybrid stump]

Does anyone have a sure way to farm chatterbox components??

[rapid summit]

Aside from opening boxes in the respective zones there is retaliations if you’d prefer that

I’d just look up lock box locations and rotate those if that’s your preferred method

[hybrid stump]

Hmm

[tacit yoke]

is smg/shotgun best for using that crusader shield?

[unique bramble]

If you are using the firewall shield, yes, for the close range bonus.

[tacit yoke]

thought so, i found smg more effective for me than rifle, lmg no point having it and shotgun is a good close combat

also finally done the dlc...problem is i think i did second instead of first...

[small thistle]

What DLC did you do lol

[tacit yoke]

brooklyn...

[small thistle]

Brooklyn is the second one yes

[tacit yoke]

SON OF A

[small thistle]

Warlords of New York came first

Where you hunt Keener

Brooklyn was pretty short

[tacit yoke]

but awesome last fight

how many endorsements can you get in 10 minutes?

[mossy arch]

Tinkerer has reconfigure BP?

[hollow hill]

Not to my knowledge

[lofty vector]

Delta-3 in Countdown is still around

And somehow there have been 3 directives active even if i didn't activate any

[gaunt trout]

1 grenade will always be given when at 0 grenade, special or red

it wont give a second, but you can always get 1 from a blue box, as long as your at 0

[south topaz]

1 endorsement per backup call

[tropic sentinel]

2, one is auto, another manual by player.

[fluid meadow]

can't lie i think i got like 2-3

[tropic sentinel]

Oh maybe there is that event again. Last time you could get 10-15 points per call, it was somehow broken.

[hybrid ore]

Last time an Event for it was active, it gave you a bonus to the amount of Shepard XP you received.
If that's not the case this time, that would explain it.

[south topaz]

u get 3 points auto 1 point by player but overall only 1 endorsement per all no matter u stay 10 min or 1 hour

[quartz cliff]

Hi, when is the the fest starting?

[hybrid ore]

@quartz cliff More info next week.

[fluid meadow]

i can't wait for it im literally speedrunning all my projects and assignments so i could freely do it

[crimson raven]

I have one question comapnion can follow us in Summit or Maning Zoo for exemple ? Or Fairview?

Bcz u turn the Global Modifier with 50% damage reduce for ennemies and if we don't have the companion in this area how counter the buff ? 🤔

[hybrid ore]

@crimson raven They won't work in Countdown/Raids/Incursion/DZ/Conflict.
outside of that: anywhere is fine, although it's a max of 1 companion per group, however you still get your companion passives active as if yours was there too.

[crimson raven]

ok thx 👍

why do people say they cant get any backup requests ive been TRYING to get backed up for like a year now

[slow smelt]

Does anyone know the difference between the Lexington and Stack Broker skin rewards? Because I recieved the Gold for Lexington but not Stack Broker

[runic wren]

for the broker to get the gold skin you must have been playing since 2019

where for the lex it was 2024 or something like that

[slow smelt]

Ok so they did change it, got it

[quartz cliff]

opinions on Backfire for IH?

[slow smelt]

I started playing in 2019 but only after that 3$ sale

[deep patio]

no just use a standard AR for all ranges

[hybrid ore]

@slow smelt Before March 11, 2019, specifically.
That includes div1.

[acoustic hazel]

saem here i trie matchmakeing on harder difficults and i get no players i dont even see any players anymore 😄 i have never done raids cos i cant find ppl to play with

is division 2 dead or just so so low on players

[slow smelt]

Got it, thank you!

[magic atlas]

Did they fix Countdowns crashing yet?

[magic atlas]

It would have to include Division 1 because Division 2 was released on the 15th march while early access began on 12th March

[hybrid ore]

The Private Beta started in February, which would count as "logged on".
Which is why I mentioned div1 counting too.

And the Public Beta was earlier than March 11th as well, by about 10 days.

[quartz cliff]

can you still get nightmare mask

[grave timber]

Possibly or they might randomly appear have to wait and see

[grave timber]

Try to matchmake it and someone told me that boos stop it or something

[hybrid ore]

@grave timber That used to be the case, but it was a patched bug. Potentially is back, but I've gotten calls whilst in there, so YMMV.

[hybrid stump]

Question.
Striker gear set or heartbreaker gear set

[hybrid ore]

Striker is better for outright damage dealt, HB is good if you feel like you need a little more tank in your DPS.
both are great.

[delicate wasp]

I can have 5 grenades and still get another one from the same ammo box that gives me bullets, but it wont open if I have full bullets, so I cant get the grenade unless I fire off a few rounds, then it will open, give me bullets and the extra grenade, the other types of ammo boxes works as normal.

[kind veldt]

the grenade box is different from ammo box, so kinda surprised it's giving out nades

[shrewd wigeon]

Is classified assignment solo only? And only 1 time for the xp

1 time as in you can repeat it but when you actually leave it’s finished

[delicate wasp]

You can do it with a full team

I think they need to own the Classified DLC to join you though

and the good thing with those is once you've completed them they act as fast travel points

[magic atlas]

Yeah you can only play those with other people that have the Classified content

[delicate wasp]

If Its been opened by another player it shows the bullets on screen, and if I need them i'll get them automatically when I go near them, but it wont give me the grenade when I do that, I have to prompt it open to get the grenade, I'm waiting on a bud to pop, so I can see if its normal or a bug

[jolly kettle]

People dont ask for backup when we have trouble even we have shepards players

Frustrating

[magic atlas]

Hmm figured I'd login and despite not touching the betas and a first login date of 30/03/2019 the gold broker is in my delivery box so it has to count dates from Div 1 outside of the betas for div 2 or something is wrong on Ubis criteria for it

[gaunt trout]

It's been a thing for ages. If you have 0 grenades you can get 1 of the zero count from an ammo box

It works after the 1 is used as well

[delicate wasp]

Yeah but even if I have 6 on me I can still get one from the bullet box when I prompt it open (if I need bullets), I aint complaining coz it suits me fine that way 🤣 Boooom 💥

[torn cape]

I just gained a shepherd rank, but my weekly project is not completed, it still says "Gain a Shepherd rank 0/1", what am I missing ?

[gaunt trout]

Out of curiosity, can you have more than six?

Can you have seven eight or nine, and is the grenade that's granted, the other grenade

I don't use grenades as a general rule, but recent Tom foolery with mad bomber has resulted in paying attention to them.v The only reason I know about the blue chest refilling grenades, was my first clan, way back in like 2023, used to tell me to refill my incendiary grenade with the crate in the middle of a raid

[grave timber]

Gotcha

[keen lily]

What is the max number of blueprints you can get? 644 isn't achievable right?

[wise basalt]

if my bkpk is full and i complete a project, will the reward from the project drop on the ground or will it drop to the mailbox in the stash?

[gaunt trout]

Stash

Only crates drop in place
And mats/resources

[wise basalt]

@gaunt trout ok so I'm at the last stage for the shepard project to get the caretaker, I should load up my bkpk so when the project completes the gun will drop into the mailbox stash?

[full zinc]

just leave room in your bag so you dont come complaining later that your gun didnt drop where you thought

[gaunt trout]

Yes, it won't drop in place.

Local deck is right btw

[full zinc]

sounds counter productive to create a problem for ones self

[gaunt trout]

When in doubt don't depend on Ubi if you can avoid it. Their not known for consistency

[full zinc]

they're
saw that edit

[wise basalt]

i don't plan to use the gun, just collecting it so I don't want it take up a space

[gaunt trout]

Bruh

I WILL change it to Thur, say I wont

[full zinc]

fair enough. dont complain about it later if it fails and you lose the weapon

[gaunt trout]

I appreciate the honesty that it going to camp a slot in your stash. Tbh Iv never actually used caretaker. Its almost like .. a mark of acheivment

Currently being emotionaly assaulted by my steam deck which is prob going to result in return physical. It's not reading my emu deck SD and it better learn fast

Fixed. It's that rare bug, where low power disables the SD reader. I've only had it once before, but if you don't know how to fix it it can be rather unnerving

@hollow hill you have a steam deck, if you ever can't read your SD, keep this in mind

[crimson osprey]

They most likely will. Give someone a gift they like and they pretend it was never given to them. Happens all the time. Haha

[grave timber]

The max Blueprints is always 4 from the cap for some reason unless someone has it full

[thick tree]

I just want a god damn Lexington. Over 100 caches later and just straight garbage or nothing everytime. This is why I quit the game for so long last damn time..

[lunar hare]

womp womp

[slate spoke]

Over 500 stars collected so far and TONS of caches in stash! Gonna be a busy cashout-day 😄

[gentle hill]

can someone inv me and open caches for a lex

[remote lynx]

My unpopular opinion is that Ubisoft should:

• Have kept Expertise going
• Should remove the artificial limit on exotics in a build
• Should remove the artificial cap on CHC
• Should roll back the nerfs they did in early 2024
• Should give Eagle Bearer it's original talent back
• Should make the Merciless auto
• Should make the M16A3 a M16A4 \ [aka make it auto]

[delicate wasp]

I can carry 8 grenades with my normal build, with the Acosta's go bag its 11 grenades

[hushed folio]

Anyone tryna run incursion

[delicate wasp]

The expertise for sure, once you have everything in the game, there,s nothing left to achieve or aim for, and worse of all when they put something good in the game its normally temporary or it changes like the modifier, I'm gonna cry when I lose the "Say Cheese" modifier, as for the companion, if I wanted to run with an AI I'd play Wild-lands or Break-point

[lyric sigil]

did you try here?
https://discord.com/channels/477210626742288384/1160946458405654528

[unique bramble]

Btw you can unequip the Acosta backpack and still retain the grenade amount you got when they were refilled at the safe area.

[delicate wasp]

Yeah, I do that all the time for countdown 😁 but when I join it goes from 11 down to 10, but I can pick up another one from a box to take it back to 11

[quartz cliff]

eh the breakpoint team mates can be useful for revives. Its better when you do it solo

[unique bramble]

Do you know why this happens because I think the grenades works as 1 mag capability you know what I mean?
Because when you are switching between grenades the number change by one.
And if you have no grenades and open an ammo box (not grenade box) it gives you one grenade and doesn't let you keep below 1.

[gaunt trout]

Often mags lose their first clip. It's an old bug, most commonly affected rock and roll

[unique bramble]

That's not what I meant

[gaunt trout]

Specifically, you lost what was in the chamber. In some cases it's not a big deal, because it's just one to two bullets, in terms of rock and roll, it was its entire bonus amount. in the case of your scenario, one clip would be one grenade

[unique bramble]

I meant like, in the programming, the grenade itself is like an one mag weapon, that is why blue box gives you one when empty.

[gaunt trout]

I was more referring to why every time he goes into countdown, he loses a grenade despite the max "11" value

It's explained, as him losing the clip in the chamber, if it is how you say, and grenades are considered mags. I'm trying to believe this, because I believe that division like many MMOs, is much less technical than it appears graphically

Examples of this would be yellow cores affecting status grenades, and red grenades being affected by red cores, and special ammo affecting melee, without logical explanation

[delicate wasp]

I don't know how it works, but I do know that the extraction Hunters in countdown get a barrage of 11 incendiary grenades dropped on their doorstep at the same time, 💥 💥 🤣 and they scatter like sheep giving the team time to pick them off while they're distracted due to being on fire 🔥 😁

[delicate wasp]

The blue box gives me one even if I'm empty, half full or nearly full, try it out next time you play

[harsh marsh]

Are turmoil knee pads even available in stretch goals anymore

Have you played since before March 11 2019?

[sudden barn]

Yes

[thin oasis]

On the same account?

[runic wren]

if you don't have the gold skin you prolly bought the game after this date

[wraith locust]

Some how I got gold skin

[lofty vector]

Did you play Division 1?

[sudden barn]

Yes

[lofty vector]

hmm oki.. than you should've got it

would say file a report if you have the reciept from buying the game

[mossy arch]

Ubisoft, add MORE time at the retaliation end to collect all loot!

30 seconds is not enough

[wraith locust]

Wait you loot at the end?

[misty musk]

Server restart?

[lyric egret]

Leave one npc alive and collect your loot, why are you killing all the npc's with upwards of X AMOUNT of minutes left on the clock

[maiden dune]

No chat for resurgence

[wraith locust]

There is server

[mossy arch]

it's not an option in the coop mode, where all stupid randoms are killing every mob on sight and at farest places from each other
I see NO reason to NOT increase this timer
And I see NO reason why anyone would be against that except his toxicity

It is strange we have Perfect Frenzy on Ars, but didn't have regular Frenzy
Is it bug?

[kind veldt]

Its a named item so thats its the weapon gimmick

[mossy arch]

Damn, I wish Tinkerer woked for named items too
there is so few good talents

[lyric egret]

Type in chat leave 1 up so we can loot, of course non english speakers wont get it but english speakers will and hopefully the message will spread.

[distant otter]

can anyone help me get the elmo and run stuff to grind shd levels before event gone

[thin oasis]

Huh?

KIller, Strained, Frenzy, Measured, Sadist, Flatline, Fast Hands, Optimist, Preservation, Vindictive...all perfectly good talents (and that's not including the weapon specific ones)

[lyric egret]

FYI, Im not against an increase in a timer, it doesnt affect me though as I solo ret or play with friends, if you are picking rando's to do it consider solo'ing them so you always get your loot

[mossy arch]

Killer and Strained
Optimist is too dumb
Frenzy not on Ars
Status specific doesn't fit big dps builds well
everything else is even worse

[thin oasis]

Lmao Flatline doesnt fit big dps well?

Sadist isnt BiS for OD now?

[gaunt trout]

most named weapons have an unnamed slightly weaker variant

tinkerer will work fine as long as your weapon types match. can it be more optimal, sure, but then again, tinkerer isnt exaclty the best exo anyway

I view it as a meme, or as other refer "niche" its fun to troll with, but when it comes you or them, your prob not gonna usei t

it's based on XP

[rocky tinsel]

/rant I just wanna say how much I LOVE when I pick up an audio log the game puts in front of my face and then, halfway through listening to it, the game starts talking over it with some scripted dialog I couldn't possibly have known was coming at that exact minute! /End rant.

[unique summit]

10/10 rant

[gaunt trout]

keep in mind after 7 levels, the project is over. they might have finished and been real shepherds (I do the same, if their gonna vote, theyll do it. I always stay for mission, ask if anything else ,then poof, no request or waiting)

the real evil faction are the people in white house who rip you out of your inventory

thinking about getting the game since its on sale, as a new player is it good? i have about 30d played on div 1, probably one of my favorite games, love pve and pvp.

if you like looter shooters its a fun game, there's quite a bit of grinding to be done and lots to learn but I'd definitely recommend it (and have done) to most people I know

[rain flare]

i love grinding for builds and farming. just want something to drink coffee and play with some friends too

[unique summit]

if you loved div1 you'll love div2

[rain flare]

i was gonna buy it but i can't dont have the funds rn unfortunately i thought i did

yeh lol mb

[granite burrow]

Division 2 is pretty much the last Ubisoft co-op shooter and it's still played by a lot of people, it's great

Ghost Recon Breakpoint and Div 2 still have communities, div 2 to me is like a marriage game at this point, I will always play it

[rain flare]

ohh ok, gotcha, thats good

[deep patio]

just wait for the game to go on sale for like 3$ lmao

[granite burrow]

Christmas sale coming soon

[rain flare]

it goes on sale for that?

[granite burrow]

Of course, especially on steam

anyone i can add for future gameplay when i get the game?

Hey can anyone fill me in on how to get exotics?

[proud hazel]

Depends on what exotic u want to get

[kind veldt]

Most common ones are just farming

Couple are from certain quests/projects

[solid sluice]

Trying to get the tinkerer and pestilence

[kind veldt]

Or specific content like raids ans game modes

Tinkerer is from manager manhunt mission only

[proud hazel]

Another way is to get them from prestige caches

[solid sluice]

Oooo idk if I completed it

[kind veldt]

Pestilence from anywhere, easier to go somewhere where LMG is targetted loot or countdown where you can select loot type

[solid sluice]

Ok I’ll try it out ty

[hidden anvil]

yo does anyone know what to do I can't reconfigure the overdogs gloves even tho I got all the materials?

[south topaz]

Do it from another character

[alpine lantern]

Does a Stack Broker become part of the loot pool in named caches after being added to the inventory?

[iron adder]

No

[mossy arch]

LMAO not
LMAO if you don't play Mech and don't have an access to laser pointer with Pulse - it is crap
Sadist is the same crap - if you don't have an access to constant Bleed source (like at Rigeway pride, but it's too close range and can't wear at the same time with Tinkerer anyway)

[fluid meadow]

The humble Ongoing Directive:

[thin oasis]

Did OD suddenly stop existing?

Did HB suddenly leave the chat?

[mossy arch]

wehat's od?

[thin oasis]

Ongoing directive. Permanent, unlimited Hollowpoint rounds.

[mossy arch]

I thought I was clear when said big dps, no?
So it's Striker.

[thin oasis]

Lmao

Ongoing directive IS one of the big DPS.

Its also one of the besy damage support builds in the game, giving all allies free hollowpoint rounds that have near infinite uptime if you play it properly. Hollowpoint rounds give a 20% damage amp.

Ongoing directive boosts that amp to 50% for the user.

[mossy arch]

no wonder I don't know what crap is it, I weren't able to find even a single piece of this trash in the my stash lol

what about HB: not evrything in the game has HEAD.

[undone timber]

Ongoing directive is up there with the heavy hitters for DPS rn

As for heartbreaker: that's why you use the pulse laser lmao

[thin oasis]

They're not even worth talking to at this point.

[undone timber]

I don't personally use heartbreaker but saying it's not good DPS is disingenuous

[thin oasis]

Obviously never seen Chow play it

[mossy arch]

Already said about that - read carefully

[thin oasis]

Its not others who need to read carefully.

You not understanding the builds is your issue.

[mossy arch]

yes, they are

[undone timber]

All this if if if nonsense is the whole point of building lol you're supposed to put stuff together that has synergy

Yeah it's really annoying to use without tech but fortunately there's a simple solution to this issue

[thin oasis]

At this point, i'm convinced this person is a poor troll.

[mossy arch]

Yeah, I am troll, who said that +50% is better than +180%
omg, try better next time

[undone timber]

In any case the notion that striker is the only good DPS is highly false

[thin oasis]

Especially when its not even the best DPS. Nego beats it hands down

[undone timber]

Too much thinking required throw it in the bin

[unique summit]

There are different types of DPS. Burst, sustain, and multi-target.

[undone timber]

I want instant free god tier DPS and be invincible

[unique summit]

One thing I really don't like about HB is it doesn't stack on proxies.

Which includes... minitanks 😄

[undone timber]

The caveats are why I don't go for it myself

[thin oasis]

I'm not a HB fan, but its certainly up there with the big DPS.

Nego, Strikers, TS, HB, OD....alll VERY good DPS builds

[lunar hare]

damn it even HE enters with decent dps

[unique summit]

It really depends on the content you're doing and how much damage you need to clear it comfortably.

If it's enough, it's enough. But some sets have drawbacks that can get you killed.

[thin oasis]

We've all seen Chow and his HB zoo antics....makes me nervous just watching him lol

This whole thing started with you saying that weapon talents outside of killer arent useful....

You then went on a weird rant about how Strikers is the only big DPS build....

[mossy arch]

What is Chow?

[lunar hare]

who*

[mossy arch]

Killer is not that good too
any 'on kill' or "on status' effects are crap

[lunar hare]

OKAY YOU REALLY ARE A MF TROLL

[mossy arch]

You are facing a big boss with no adds around = your talent doesn't work

[thin oasis]

Bro forgot that secondaries exist.....

[undone timber]

Don't let this distract you from the fact that hector is gonna be

[thin oasis]

Unwavering SMG enters the chat.

[thin oasis]

Certainly one of the takes of all time

[mossy arch]

the thread started with the fact that not many good talents to use with Tinkerer
which secondary? Which unwavering? Jeez
read carefully, again

[mossy arch]

Exactly! It's one of them for doing damage and others - just for diversity and inclusivity

[sly tundra]

uh?

[sly tundra]

Why it's Meta for OD build.

[floral ore]

you do realise multi target can be better than sustain dps right?

If I'm dealing 700k to 2 enemys at once vs 1m per bullet to a single enemy the multi comes out on top

[thin oasis]

Already been through all this....

@mossy arch Nope, just the answerers.

[floral ore]

yes its been posted a few times

[mossy arch]

there is not many sending them and even if you instantly answer - the call is expired already
pretty strange event

[hybrid ore]

It depends heavily on your region, I've VPN hopped and found certain places are far better for it.
try matchmaking for a call instead of just waiting around, it sometimes trips so quickly for me that I don't have time to exit the menu properly.

[thin oasis]

Always have random call for backup matchmaking active. It will instantly answer it and send you in

[lyric sigil]

to add to what Dorky said it's worth to mention it might be instant right after you start the matchmake for Random Backup Calls, but it might take several minutes

[raw crystal]

Sorry, I didn't read the previous comments. Is there any way to fix this?

[floral ore]

no you're all good I meant like over the past couple days and from what I know not yet sadly

[hybrid ore]

"what dorky said". I mean really.

[raw crystal]

Thank you either way!

[floral ore]

I just realised the way I worded it I sound like a prick lmao, I shouldve been more specific

[thin oasis]

Sorry Rivens, people have learned to take AI search results with a pinch of salt 😅

[raw crystal]

Not at all! really appreciate your reply!

[hybrid ore]

lol you're all good, it's been happening a lot lately and I can't complain about them rejecting AI results.

[hollow hill]

Microsoft funded 80 billion to Rivens to eat up all our ram

[floral ore]

damn and they still need money for cosmetics? crazy

[hollow hill]

They gotta scalp them prices somehow 💯

And stay "rich"

[mossy arch]

I hope retaliation mode would stay: it's hard enough, it's intensive and it's loot heavy.
At the same time the Summit requires rework...

[eager talon]

afaik its a permanent game mode.

[runic wren]

I think it's permanent yep

"Retaliation is a permanent addition to the game. Persisting after the conclusion of The Pact. This is the agitation meter. It can be filled by doing activities such as defeating hostiles, capturing control points, and completing missions amongst others." : google

[south topaz]

Shepherd event should be permanent

[remote lynx]

My drone and turret arguing about who carried me harder.

Why do Black Tusk robots walk like they’re late for a job interview?

Why do Rikers scream so much?
Because therapy isn’t craftable.

[delicate wasp]

I cant wait til they add retaliation to Matchmaking

[south topaz]

Retaliation would be more popular than countdown with a matchmaking

[floral ore]

can you target loot in retal? idk actually but if not I'd think countdown will be superior

[kind veldt]

they added later that you can select the target loot of retaliation

[delicate wasp]

I wonder how many players can be in the White house etc, social area at the same time ?

[mossy arch]

yes, it's the same targeted pool as in Summit and Countdown

[delicate wasp]

Also I'd love to be able to communicate via the keyboard with all social area players to ask if they want to do a certain activity, I do invite randoms but a lot leave after joining because I'm guessing they don't like the activity I'm doing 🤔

[kind veldt]

Not sure about consoles, but there should be a region chat on the corner no?

[delicate wasp]

Not that I've seen or noticed 🤔

[thin oasis]

Have you turned it on?

Although fair warning, as with every game, General chat is a cess pool 99% of the time

[oak turtle]

hey everyone. is th Catalyst mask still can be farm from named bosses or brooklyn last missions?

[delicate wasp]

I don't do voice-chat except with buds and the keyboard is only available in the open world/missions etc not the social area etc, I play with a lot of rando's due to shift work and buds being asleep at night, and I wont be voice chatting with those, like you say, its normally toxic 😱 😁

[thin oasis]

Weird that console doesn't have area chat.

PC has it....

[delicate wasp]

So is it active in the social area 🤔

[thin oasis]

Only if you don't mute it

[hybrid ore]

Gen-chat in div2 is very much not worth using, it's mostly bots.

[thin oasis]

^ I won't repeat it, you can trust the AI this time 😛

[delicate wasp]

So to be clear, you can type text to all players in the social areas and everyone there can read it ?

[thin oasis]

Yes.

[tropic sentinel]

I've only ever seen chinese/korean spam there.

[floral ore]

Saw a couple russians duking it out once

[hybrid ore]

The bulk of it is bots trying to sell you scams.
these days it's mostly crypto or fake carry services.

It's just kinda a thing in these games to avoid the gen-chats ingame.

[loud storm]

Ok so somehow i deleted the tempest pistol.... no biggie i thought i just run master mission again...... i did but it wont drop anymore neither for my team mates....🤦‍♂️.

Know bug or what?

[kind veldt]

after the first guaranteed it's just luck

you can also try the summit lv100 for higher chances

[hybrid ore]

You can also just run it on Master on a character that hasn't done it before.
100% drop chance!

(same goes for all the Manhunt Master missions).

[south topaz]

Just play summit floor 100 couple times and u'll get it with zealot its so easy, but only 1 day left of zealot

[loud storm]

Yea but not the answer i was loking for tho 😉

So it says reward but its not 100% chance in master...... 😅

[kind veldt]

100% ONLY in the first time clear

since you broke your first time clear reward, it's RNG or using alternative characters to get another

[proud tartan]

I have gold Lexington but not gold stock broker?

[runic wren]

gold Lexington requirement was 2024

gold Broker is mars 2019

[grave timber]

First time playing master you get it after that chance to drop if you have multiple characters that hasn't done the mission yet then it will drop

[proud tartan]

I started playing when shadowkeep came out for destiny 2 im surprised i didnt get it

[grave timber]

Probably because you didn't play the beta

[proud tartan]

Yeah no didn’t play the beta didn’t start even looking at the game since I became disgruntled with the way destiny 2 was going

[grave timber]

Probably that's why then but you should gotten the sliver at least

[proud tartan]

I did

[grave timber]

Well at least you got that then

[proud tartan]

Yeah but the gold is so cool I wish I had it

[runic wren]

silver is the less nice looking of these 3 skins

[grave timber]

Yeah

[runic wren]

got bronze and silver, I use bronze coz imo it looks way better

[grave timber]

Hopefully the Next veteran reward will be lightweight m4 we might get that for the 10 year anniversary or something else

[proud tartan]

Sometimes silver skins can look cool but most of the time it just looks like the metal doors on a cybertruck

[grave timber]

Yup

[kind veldt]

it's a thin line between silver and stainless steel

[proud tartan]

Yep

[grave timber]

I thought it was a thin line between light and dark

Sorry Destiny 2 reference

[thin oasis]

It'sa a thin line between gold and gold plated green fingers

[upbeat umbra]

How do I farm ferocious calm?

wait for fenris in DZ? lol

[hybrid ore]

As it's DZ locked, you'll need to use the DZ/conflict, named item caches, or farm Retal' until it's Blueprint is rewarded via the Reconstruction Caches.

[upbeat umbra]

oh okay so retaliation. which faction gives it?

[solid aspen]

Stupid question if I unlock a weapon from the stretch goal boxes does it then get added to the normal world loot for example the eagle bearer, I managed to get it or do I have to pick it up via the raid for its to become a potential global item?

[runic wren]

nop

[hybrid ore]

@upbeat umbra None, you'll need to craft the Reconstructed Caches via Broken SHD watches.
buy the BP from Inaya, then go to the Exotic section. They cost 7/each.

The pool is massive, so it may take a long time.

[upbeat umbra]

where do you go to craft the caches?

[runic wren]

weap stays exclusive to their content once event ends

[hybrid ore]

The exotics section of your crafting table.

[analog nexus]

servers down_

[hybrid ore]

Server's are still online.

[deep patio]

quick drop a revive hive on the servers then

[analog nexus]

me work now

[thin oasis]

Neither game is anywhere close to a military simulator, in any way, shape or form.

Division 3 is at LEAST 2 years away, it's in very early production with zero available information

On what planet is at least 2 years close enough to "wait for a release?"

You didn't.....because the finals was announced less than a year before it was released.

Yes i've played Warframe for almost 7 years. No, that isn't true either.

You're quite prone to hyperbole, aren't you?

[blazing citrus]

all youd get from div 1 is lore

[iron adder]

You will appreciate Division 1 in some aspects even more than Div2

[blazing citrus]

according to the wf wiki the awakening (intro quest) was added in 2020 🤔

i thought it was much older than that

[thin oasis]

Warframe released in 2013

[blazing citrus]

ye ik wf is but the intro/tutorial quest was 2020 unless there was one prior to that

12?

[thin oasis]

There has always been tutorials for warframe.

There was never a tutorial that taught you about end game mechanics because, as they said themselves, those who need one won't be the players who are sticking around. So making a tutorial for them is pointless.

[blazing citrus]

true

:/ das a weird thing to say

not really

[fluid meadow]

talking about your power fantasy over people is more pathetic and weak to me

[sacred spruce]

are spec sidearms any good except firestarter

[thin oasis]

Side arms aren't great in general. Unless it's Quickstep or Regulus.

[blazing citrus]

quickstep, harvest, regulus are notable sidearms

[sacred spruce]

the specialization sidearms like the ones u get from gunner and such

[blazing citrus]

not really good afaik

[fluid meadow]

trash

don't you have a fantasy to jerk to

oh you like being told what to do?

[sacred spruce]

😩

[fluid meadow]

sorry you're not my type

[blazing citrus]

dw its not usually like this

[sacred spruce]

i like it this way

[hybrid ore]

Enough of this now.

[blazing citrus]

overall the specialization sidearms arent good.

out of any sidearms quickstep, regulus, harvest, tdi kard custon are good

[sacred spruce]

truly an enigma

i like orbit..

[blazing citrus]

ye das good too

i usually keep quickstep equipped for the speed boost

[sacred spruce]

mm i dont have qs

[blazing citrus]

😭

[sacred spruce]

rude.

[blazing citrus]

its a crying face

[sacred spruce]

so am i..

[small vigil]

😴

[harsh marsh]

Does anyone know when the julmust hunter mask will be available, ik it starts next month but does it have a day set to start and end?

[north fossil]

what brand is the Artist's Tool under?

[forest flicker]

Is there a div that’s active right now I know a full clan of glitch exporters

[kind veldt]

Its a rifle, you mean what sets buff rifles?

[north fossil]

I meant what brand works best, sorry

Iwas thinking two thinkgs at once

[kind veldt]

Overlord and zwei i think

Might have butchered that second one

[north fossil]

np, thanks for the assist

[forest flicker]

The clan is on PlayStation and have been exploiting the plus glitch and now the new pistol glitch going around @trim crag

[kind veldt]

you have to report them to ubi support, we dont have the tools to handle that here

[forest flicker]

Where can I find that

[sly tundra]

It's not new they know.

[quartz cliff]

Does anyone know what date do you need to do the floor 100 summit for the festival mask, i think its julmast

[kind veldt]

http://support.ubi.com/

[acoustic hazel]

can i get lexington anymore or is it just gone forever :/

[lyric sigil]

you have a chance to get Lexington from the Rank up event's caches while the event lasts (1d 8h left)

[harsh marsh]

Hey guys just need some help with my NYC hunter wall, there's a hook that hasn't got a mask it's right above the divide mask and it's driving me crazy

[lilac cairn]

The Santa hunter mask is available during the holidays, so it's probably best to reach floor 100 and then complete the 100th floor during the week of Christmas. At least thats what I did..

[harsh marsh]

So will it be available tomorrow or?

[dusk jackal]

I feel everyone and their mommas got the mayhem apparel set on atp

[mint niche]

im looking for a group to run some of the man hunts on mastery i need to get tempest and tinker. any help would be much appreciated.

[kind veldt]

check id:customize to see games and plataform so you can see the LFG channels to matchmake with people

[clever moss]

Not sure if I can ask here, anyone know if they’re doing drops or anything for survivors reveal tomorrow?

[shrewd wigeon]

is there a rough eta on like the next 5x in the new season?

[kind veldt]

they havent announced anything for tomorrow about drops

usually #division-tweets will have stuff like that

[slow smelt]

Spent my evening grinding because I thought I still had one more Rank Up cosmetic item to get... turns out I just forgot the gloves... 🤦‍♂️

[keen kayak]

Did it seem like it took a whole lot more EXP to go from 200-210?

[thin oasis]

Because theres no x2

[keen kayak]

Even then it was a slog today. Seemed like it was .5 EXP

210 levels and no Turmoil.

[south topaz]

Drop chances r so low that u can be 400 lvl and still not get single turmoil, the grind is not worth it

[sacred spruce]

idk what you guys are on about i have like 30 maxed out /14.9 turmoils

[floral ore]

rng

[sacred spruce]

i have a turmoil on the hardcore char i made today so idk also probably not the best kneepads in the game anyway

[harsh jewel]

Does anybody know where one can get the bulletproof light bulbs that they have in this game. Like I'd be looking all online for bulletproof light bulbs and I can't seem to find them but somehow in this game you can't shoot them out. So if anybody has any direction they want to point me in it would be awesome

[humble cairn]

can i do the pact climax mission in someone else game if ive not done any of the clue things and get the drops still

[bronze helm]

anyone trying to help with some main missions? if so dm me!

[south topaz]

u have to do 3 HVT scout first

[humble cairn]

i reckon then i should wait till the season ends and get them from the legacy

[south topaz]

yeah that works

[eager talon]

Can you still endorse someone who answered the call but that person is in your friend list, or you cant endorse them like clan mates?

[south topaz]

Frnds and clanmates = no endorsement

[tawdry cedar]

anyone knows how long the server's going to be down for?

[south topaz]

Theres no server down today

[solemn gorge]

Can I get exotics from the summit if it’s on normal?

[finite osprey]

when the new season come?

[iron adder]

Tomorrow

[forest quail]

I'm going to miss 5x EXP. I came back to the game after many years away and was like SHD 160 and after the 2x and 5x events now I'm SHD 520.

[dire ravine]

Twitch drops start Dec 2

And go thru the 9th

[eager talon]

Ez unfriend, lol!

[eager talon]

I am surprised that they are very stingy with the exp boosts.

[vital cave]

Tomorrow is the new season right?

Or its 3rd of December

[tender wave]

@vital cave ^

[vital cave]

Thanks

[forest quail]

yeah, it looks like they only happened like, three times this season, all toward the end?

[hybrid ore]

@forest quail x3 and x5 events happened throughout this Season.
but there's always more towards the end, as it helps retain players deeper into a Season and build up excitement for the next one.

[pliant sentinel]

wait i can get 10% rof tmr

[hybrid ore]

You can get 10% rate of fire tomorrow?

[pliant sentinel]

yes

i should probably clarify...

unit alloys named holster + the 2pcs brand set

[jagged prism]

if you no life the amount of season pass to do so

chances are it'll be something past level 20 season pass at least

[pliant sentinel]

nah i'll take my own sweet time

[sly tundra]

no. There's no news of anything yet.

[iron gust]

? There's a stream today
Twitch drops tomorrow
Season's coming tomorrow

[crimson raven]

750 and 20 turmoil sad 🥲

[south topaz]

29th reward i guess is new exotic chest , I'm ready with shd donation & legendary project in 4 character 😂 should give 15 lvl in a hour

[vital cave]

I hope the outfit would be nice in the new season pass

[real musk]

got mine on 223 keep trying!

[jagged prism]

has there been a formula or something that's been consistent in how they put in the new brandsets, gearsets, weapons, named items and exotics lately?

[clever moss]

Thanks!

[lilac shuttle]

Opened prestige cache and EB appear in my inventory stealthily

[remote pecan]

exotics were like 29 and 69 the last 3 BPs

4, 9, 12, 14, 19, 22 brand set
32, 54 named weapons
42, 62 named gear

[south topaz]

Similar position every season exotics r on 29th & 69th

[remote pecan]

gear sets were in the Journey mission iirc

[south topaz]

For named item I'll just open saved recon caches from shepherd event 😎

[vital cave]

I wonder if they’ll ever change the apparel caches cosmetics I have saved 93 of them keys

[tacit yoke]

for some reason i couldnt call for backup in retaliation?

[dire ravine]

Have to do it before starting retaliation

[tacit yoke]

ahh...damnit

[silk vigil]

What's so good about the Ouruboros, I heard alot saying its insane but when i look at the stats and talent from many sources its just meh

Im aware its very rare from raids but still

[deep patio]

its actually in the incursion

iirc ouro comes with 30% chc by default so u dont even need to spec into chc much even on strikers with ceska

and the absurd rpm is really good for bursting down bosses while maintaining high strikers stacks

the talent is utterly trash on purpose to offset it being a stat stick

[remote pecan]

a nerf happened

[silk vigil]

A badass looking smg with great attributes and attachments but the talent looks mid as heck

[south topaz]

This season ouro has 2000 rpm 😂

[silk vigil]

Well then do yall have any good smg recommendations for Striker and Heartbreaker that is not Exotic?

[south topaz]

Dark winter

[silk vigil]

Damn thats a good talent smg

[deep patio]

most would prefer other smgs tho coz vector 45acp is not that hard hitting

low mag capacity too

i only like dark winter coz it works well on my HF build

[south topaz]

Dark winter with heartbreaker works extremely well in heroics i used to use that

[deep patio]

the folded stock is a big turn off me tbh

same reason with tac vector having no stock, its disgusting to look at

ouro still offers peak dps if ur fights occur at close range

[silk vigil]

I invested quite a bit of grind on my lmg and I kinda regret it

[deep patio]

lmgs are absolutely fine to use on strikers tho

if u have tinkerers mask which allows u to have fast hands + frenzy

[silk vigil]

It just push enemies into cover too often

[deep patio]

wont be a huge problem if theres 2 people shooting at him and he shoots backs, exposing his head

[silk vigil]

It kinda is since it just Supress them into cover often

Im moving my playstyle a bit more aggressive hence I would need an smg for it

[thin oasis]

Smg9

[silk vigil]

I'll just look for both and settle whichever has a good attributes drops first :/

[dark flicker]

Hello agents, I was away since mid october. I saw there was a quickstep pistol added. Is it still obtainable?

I also missed huntsman character, is he only available during halloween event?

[jagged prism]

you've missed both. the houndsman was brand new, so we don't know until they either tell us it was just a Halloween event or if they'll bring him back periodically, quickstep i've heard people who still has the houndsman bounties can still drop, but i wouldn't count on it and just wait until they tell us if the quickstep gets added to Loot Goblin and they turn that event on in game

[hollow hill]

9 times out of 10 they'll do the fomo hype train and make it part of next stretch goals and not actually part of the loot goblin

Same thing for stack broker. It brings players back in

[remote pecan]

the bounty still drops an event cache that CAN drop the Quickstep, but like @jagged prism mentioned, you'll need someone that still has the bounty
we don't know for sure, but my guess is that the upcoming winter event will have an opportunity to get it through the loot goblin

[jagged prism]

only reason i suspect loot goblin is the minihounds spawned in place of loot goblin, but you do have a point on that. could be one of those things as well

[spare cove]

When's the livestream?

[hollow hill]

There's a Livestream?

[runic wren]

few hours

[remote pecan]

<t:1764597600:R>

[hollow hill]

Oh you're talking about the survival stuff 💀

[remote pecan]

Join us on Monday, December 1st as we discuss all things Mutiny!

🕑 3PM CET/9AM EST/6AM PST
🔗 https://www.twitch.tv/thedivisiongame

https://x.com/TheDivisionGame/status/1994466320016912785

[spare cove]

The livestream where they'll discuss next season.

Stop messing with me.

[hollow hill]

9 AM is pretty damn early for a Livestream on a Monday. Didn't know they were doing a live

[spare cove]

Ah, so the livestream started on 6 PM in my local time.

Perfect.

[remote pecan]

1 hour earlier than usual

[hollow hill]

Let's hope the fire alarm doesn't halt the stream yet again

When did they tweet that out? I've seen nothing of it in #division-tweets

[spare cove]

As long there's no incident, it should be fine.

[remote pecan]

I linked the tweet
X bot seems broken sometimes

[spare cove]

Is there ever a time where Twitter hasn't been broken?

[remote pecan]

dunno why they don't cross post either, seems like Discord is often abandoned

[kind veldt]

a bot handle the tweet so something must be broken i guess

[remote pecan]

I mean, you can hate that platform how much you want, but a lot of people still use it
and it's not that Reddit, Bluesky or any other platform is really better, just a bubble for certain type of ppl

[kind veldt]

think is more about not the first time bot has been broken

[remote pecan]

I think there were other posts that didn't show up

[dark flicker]

Thank you

[cold narwhal]

Not sure how I didn’t think of this before, but I love how Test Subject is literally just “we have the Capacitor at home” 😂

Wonder if they did that on purpose

[kind veldt]

think test subject might have been released first then capacitor

[floral ore]

both came out at TU12

[kind veldt]

thought mechanical animal was the one that came out later

[hollow hill]

Yeah my mobile data was ungodly slow this morning and half the time I click on twitter links it demands me to sign in. Hell no, no thank you 😂

But not surprised the bot is broken half the time

[keen osprey]

3pm for the devs, finishing up before the work day ends

[hybrid ore]

Does anyone have a link to the tweet?

[remote pecan]

yea, I feel you 😅
you can use something like nitter/xcancel to look at tweets and stuff without an account

[remote pecan]

-> #td2-general-chat message
also added a timestamp for you guys 2 message above

[hybrid ore]

Us mods can't add anything to the tweets channel, but we can at least post it here. Ta.

[keen osprey]

So is the tweets channel something that ubisoft posts manually or is it a scraper for the division @? Cuz it seems inconsistent at times

[hybrid ore]

Any channel above off-topic is for the Admins only, not us mods. Basically.

Any channel that y'all can see, I mean.

[remote pecan]

idk but there was a time which almost broke every X/Twitter integration
probably a custom bot or something like Tweetshift the tweets are broadcasted from the official Ubisoft Discord to here

[keen osprey]

I think the mods who actually play the game here would do a better job at keeping us up to date. Joker does a fine job with the reddit but IICRC he created it so they dont endorse it officially, which is likely why its a great source of info.

[hybrid ore]

Wait, who told you I've never played a div game before?

@full zinc I told you to keep that a secret!

[hollow hill]

I'd argue that going this route is no different than the YT content creators we have pushing out game info VS the actual developer team making updates to the in game patch notes. That hasn't been updated since like... Idk... 1.12 update?

[keen osprey]

😂 shh, I was trying to subtly point blame at people who get paid to do a half arsed job in comparison to the lowly moddies

[hollow hill]

Whenever there's bugs or some broken mechanic, we hardly if ever receive in game announcements too. I'd love to see more of those

[hybrid ore]

I'll be honest, paid mods for servers does not always go super well.

[keen osprey]

It makes me sigh when they do subtle adjustments to the games main menu for that sole reason

[keen osprey]

[You get a ban, you get a ban - everyone gets a ban]

[hollow hill]

It made me cringe when they added the hoodies with masks options. Some of the apparel I've bought slot well with specific clothes, keeping the neck covered. Now it's just naked ass neck and all that apparel I got I no longer like anymore

Good example is the Outcasts redeemed. The mask and top were AWESOME. Now it's just ugly

[keen osprey]

I agree, I would like a toggle. Maybe we just sound picky haha

[hollow hill]

I wouldn't say picky, I'd just say that we want our apparel to fit the way we originally saw it. That's why I got it

[hybrid ore]

#1380126780152614944 is the place to go to mention this stuff where the devs will actually read it.
If y'all want to potentially get it changed.

[hollow hill]

Think if enough people raise the suggestion, the devs would actually listen?

[hybrid ore]

It wouldn't be the first time.

[keen osprey]

Palle is head of character art so pretty much anything that he reads on twitter usually comes to fruition.

[hollow hill]

I'll collect some screenshots and see if I can make a post there. Lots of my tops and neckwear/masks look awful due to the changes

[hybrid ore]

The "vote on twitter to bring paid outfit back for free for a bit" was due to #1380126780152614944

[keen osprey]

If you have time please recommend crocs 😏

[hollow hill]

I'm hoping and praying the small footnote in next patch notes about PVP balancing helps a lot with the issues the mode faces

[hybrid ore]

We already have the murica shorts, might as well complete the outfit.

[hollow hill]

Balancing is desperately needed. Cheater issues should also be looked into 🙏

Might even make a PvP suggestion too for the channel

[hybrid ore]

They're in the process of hiring PvP devs.

[hollow hill]

Hopefully they get their lead and their underlings soon. I really miss the pvp this game offers for unique gameplay

[hybrid ore]

Div2 is a pretty old game, as things in this industry go. The work they do on it is quite impressive.
The last thing you want is rushed work in an always-online looter shooter.

otherwise you get..... well you know what game I mean.

[remote pecan]

we still can't post pics there and I think a Reddit post will have more engagement and is more likely to get seen by an employee

[keen osprey]

I played resurgence the other night and the dark zone there is literally no different to how they play it in TD2. Run around, strafe, pew pew. Idk how anyone finds it fun

[hollow hill]

Not to sound to negative here, but to be fair with how many current bugs we have it sorta feels the opposite 💀

[hybrid ore]

@tropic sentinel Shut up.

[tropic sentinel]

Well not much I can do about the truth.

[hybrid ore]

I've had absolutely enough of that stuff lately. IRL and on here. Just no.

[keen osprey]

I missed it

[hollow hill]

It's not just strafing and pew pew, there is some thought behind it. The builds do matter. Currently with the whole Regen thing, it's all you'll see

With conflict there is strategies in play. Dark Zone is usually just whoever flags on who

[keen osprey]

Meta has its way of taking a toll. I think in the grand scheme of things, to keep it fresh they should force creativity - idk how it will play out though. Perhaps give pvp perks to certain brands/gear sets and weapons to entice?

[hybrid ore]

You want to be careful you don't get into a des2 problem, re: pvp vs pve.

[keen osprey]

Never played it so not clued in but I imagine it didnt end well considering how dead it is now

[hollow hill]

Right now, umbra and bighorn are too strong. Nerf umbra to give only 20% ROF boost and bighorn obviously dump the damage a bit or make misses lose stacks

Tier 0 skills are really strong too and so are skill builds/status

Keep note these changes should ONLY be pvp, not pve

[tropic sentinel]

Have they ever changed individual item stats for PVP only?

See this is the issue I have with games.. because people go with the crutch builds and weapons - it becomes the focus.. dps and nothing but.

R6 siege had this issue where people moved away from the idea of playing with their gadgets/abilities and instead care more about firepower.

I notice in grouped missions how folk are consistently rushing thru them as quick as they can and paired with that new pistol (quick stop) its like a time trial 😅

[hollow hill]

Umbra received a buff fairly recently, but it never applied to PVP

There's probably a few others im forgetting but I know they did buff that set but not for pvp

Mutiny Season Preview steam is starting in 10 minutes, folks!

[hollow hill]

Wish me luck, my mom has tasked me with walking around my general neighborhood and putting up her Avon flyers. I have 20% battery left on my phone, and I'm hoping that my battery can survive the entire stream 😂

What are you looking forward to for this season?

[hybrid ore]

True Sons pokemon.

Okay, the live-stream has started!

full cinematic trailer for Mutiny

mutiny drops "tomorrow"

"as usual, the division ruined the party" re: Pact climax mission.

true sons are questioning the ideals of their group, not just out of necessity".

[spare cove]

Turns out that being repressive and totalitarian doesn't work

[hybrid ore]

Div x Andor crossover, I'm here for it. (just a joke, don't take that as real)

the idea of npc companions is to "try new things, test ideas out" "first itteration". "a lot of work to make this function"."will learn from it in the future, hopefully able to bring this back".

[stray bronze]

BRO THIS IS JUST POKEMON I LOVE IT

[hybrid ore]

" you can replace a companion you have with a different one, the main difference between them is archetype (3 total) and the traits they have"

[rigid wedge]

fallout and destiny 2 drop their major updates tomorrow too 💀

[spare cove]

People still play Destiny 2?

[hybrid ore]

20k in the last 24 hours.
on steam alone.

[rigid wedge]

Yes
I do

[spare cove]

Well, I don't care about it.

Only the Division 2 matters

[hybrid ore]

"in CoOp, the team can spawn 1 companion in total, but your modifiers are still active as if yours were there too"

[spare cove]

And as always, Twitch chat is a dumpster fire.

[hybrid ore]

it's twitch chat, who cares.

[valid sable]

Zealot and Ruperts Tear, you will be so missed

[rigid wedge]

then why did you ask

smh

[remote pecan]

yea 😄

[valid sable]

Never seen the actual game world chat eh?

[stray bronze]

I get to take my most hated enemy type with me.

GRENADERS.

[umbral dock]

i have to aim at chunguses again 😭

[spare cove]

There's a reason why I disabled it

[hybrid ore]

"lot of feedback from the pts"

[rigid wedge]

That's every major stream sadly

[hybrid ore]

PTS feedback was incredibly helpful

[rigid wedge]

This might be the best or worst thing. It's a make or break thing

[stray bronze]

nerf everything

[valid sable]

buff everything

[rigid wedge]

rework everything

[umbral dock]

guy looking inside of dumpster: what the heck there is rotting trash in here

[hybrid ore]

There's a reason I've never volunteered for the twitch chat .
all respect for the folks that can.

"significant improvements for the companions since the PTS"

heavy focus on being a squad leader this season

[stray bronze]

Oh boy..

[spare cove]

Very happy for the companion buffs

[hybrid ore]

"command link" name of the active modifier this season.

directing the companion is directing their special skill, e.g. assault where they fire the RPG, placement of turret for engineer, where support station for medic will go

[rigid wedge]

Oh so kinda like Brothers In Arms in a way

[hybrid ore]

you keep the progression for the archetype, even if you swap out the companion.

[stray bronze]

I can see Turret being good or butt cheeks.

[deep patio]

mobile revive hive

[hybrid ore]

passive modifiers are divided into "offense/defence/tactics"

"tactics is mostly about building up your command link"

learning hostile modifiers is important for this season

[stray bronze]

Actually TWO revive hives on Solo if you are not Weakened.

[hybrid ore]

changes to new gear since PTS
