[trim mesa]

@lean breach this is where my man @glad gulch will use it

man i dont got ps5 man only pc

[thin oasis]

If he struggles with Heroic he's going to have a horrible time in PvP

[trim mesa]

hes level 40, no shd, cmon now man

[lean breach]

mans said he cant handle heroic content what makes you think he can handle PVPing..?

[trim mesa]

when i was at 40 i couldnt handle that shi

[glad gulch]

i was about to say who said i wont use the gun, jeez my bad for asking if theres a way for my friend to give me a damn gun

[small spear]

if this is just build help can we go over to #td2-build-advice ... the cooldown here is terrible

[thin oasis]

It's a fact. The PvP in this game is punishing.

[trim mesa]

but with the winter event i think i can see where yall are getting at

[olive kelp]

I can drop it on the floor bro you know ? Many randoms gifted me exotics so i just wanna share the love you know

[trim mesa]

so...can you give me it?

[thin oasis]

That only works if you were with them when they got it

[lean breach]

if he gets it when yall are together yes

[trim mesa]

true. its a 1 hour share time too sadly

[thin oasis]

And only for 1 hour after it dropped.

[glad gulch]

so when this guy hands out exotics like candy its fine but when i ask if theres a method for MY friend to drop me a gun to aid me its an issue

[olive kelp]

Oh word? Damn

[trim mesa]

i wanted to pass ula a bighorn thats why he asked btw

sadly i cant do legendary cuz i cant tank that shit so... neither high enough for it

SHD 500 and i get melted with or without a team so its not really my fault there

[lean breach]

if you get it when yall are grouped up you can drop it, it has a 1hour share timer on it so once it hits the floor for you you have 1 hour and counting to finish the room and give it to your friend

[trim mesa]

i dont have key parts of exotics, cant do bs so you cant say things like "Yo you can do this bruh."

[thin oasis]

Exotics are not "key" to doing any content

[trim mesa]

true but mainly i use high ends + gear set

[lean breach]

90% are kinda trash LOL

[olive kelp]

I think reaching 1000 watch would help in legendary content i am staying away until then bro

[glad gulch]

not necessary but helps 🤷‍♂️

[lean breach]

and by kinda I mean are LOL

[thin oasis]

No they don't

[trim mesa]

i only got on it for the bighorn...bearer, etc

i almost got a ravenous but got brutally murdered in dz man

[thin oasis]

No build or weapon or piece of kit is going to help you do legendary content

[lean breach]

nope. not one bit. I solo leganderys with out exotics all the time

[trim mesa]

is sacrum impelirum or whatever good?

[small spear]

no lol

[lean breach]

nope its trash

[glad gulch]

as i said not necessary but it helps (or atleast makes your life easier)

[trim mesa]

okay, thanks

[small spear]

so based

[thin oasis]

Depends what you want to use it for.

It makes a good cricket bat

[trim mesa]

what hes saying is: sorry im not built diff like yall and im crazy at the game

[lean breach]

no it doesnt.

[glad gulch]

reasonable 👀

[trim mesa]

me and him are just casual players honestly.

[thin oasis]

Being casual has nothing to do with it. Exotics will not make your life easier or the game easier in any way lol

[glad gulch]

im here for the hunter fashion 🙋

[trim mesa]

did for me, so your probably just one of those people who do a 360 and dodge those bullets in slow motion or something

we arent end game bro 😭

[kind veldt]

probably overthinking the game

[olive kelp]

He mans learn the spawns and position bro

[trim mesa]

i have

[kind veldt]

having decent stats and good aim is all you need for PVE

[trim mesa]

i have great aim i'd say

[olive kelp]

Thats how you be good at the game builds are second

[thin oasis]

Explain how they made it easier. When 80% of them aren't very good anyway and the ones that are have high end equivalents that are stronger for weapons

[trim mesa]

i mean st elmo shocks i guess thats pretty much it

[small spear]

st elmo is good because its mag is big, the shock is not that helpful

[lean breach]

if a striker with GS and cess a po po m4 cant get you past heroic content then no exotic will help you you just gonna have to learn witch add to take out 1st where to hang out who to shoot 2nd ect

[south topaz]

to drop any gun in this game someone has to grind with u, if u have a friend who is ready to do it then do it, but still u have to grind in this game, winter event is exception where they r giving good rewards for very less efforts

[olive kelp]

Elmo talent is trash bro use killer or strained

[trim mesa]

i only used high ends and i did it so...

[south topaz]

and u dont need to aim

[lean breach]

well then that statment was not for you.........................................................

[trim mesa]

i guess thats a start?

[kind veldt]

you can try posting what you are using in #td2-build-advice with screenshots

odds are that might have something off

[trim mesa]

didnt notice its 3:50am

[lean breach]

are you in aus..?

[trim mesa]

yeah

[olive kelp]

Map awareness is no1 skill in all pvp games ,aim and reflexes are second you know? Like in cod you could have the best aim in the world but i would still kicking your butt if i come from your back you know?

[trim mesa]

true

[olive kelp]

Its the same for division and every game pve or pvp

[thin oasis]

Arguably self preservation is more important.

Sometimes people just don't know when to run away.

[trim mesa]

i mean if im backed in a corner do i do a indian movie move and block all the bullets with a shattered glass piece or what bro

[small spear]

don't be backed into a corner ¯_(ツ)_/¯

that's just knowing the content

[trim mesa]

not that simple, if its dz for e.g and your getting camped at door but your OUTSIDE and pincered wtf do you do

you cant do ANYTHING unless you have like a metal stick up your butt to block allat

[olive kelp]

Well the game have many sectors that you cant backtrack bro how are you supposed to run there? There is no hope if you are circled

[lean breach]

are we talking pve or pvp..?

[trim mesa]

i mentioned DZ, so PVP.

[small spear]

I'm just talking about pve. in pvp you just die and go to a different checkpoint and fight again

[olive kelp]

Like open world there is always escape i mean about some missions sectors

[lean breach]

then PICK A DIFF CP TO ENTER!!!! or..... get good

[trim mesa]

well i fight cheaters 24/7 so i cant just "get good"

[lean breach]

no you dont.

[trim mesa]

on pvp, pve im fine its easy yeah

[olive kelp]

There is no excuse for dyimg in open world you feel me boss?

[lean breach]

i 100% can tell you you dont fight cheaters 100% of the time.

[trim mesa]

yea, open worlds easy though

[trim mesa]

so your saying a guy teleporting around named Bigmanballsjames or something isnt hacking (shooting through walls) and i have a clip so

[olive kelp]

You see them mfers coming run back

[lean breach]

You might think they cheat, but how long you been playing this game. what creds you have to call cheats..?

[lean breach]

thats 1 person.......

[trim mesa]

yeah, ONE person

[lean breach]

thats not 100% of the people 24/7

[trim mesa]

welp, true

cant argue with that valid statement

[lean breach]

ive seen people get hit by creeping death set the whole ass fight on fire then get called a cheater becasue the opp had s no idea how creeping death works.

so again whats your creds to call everyone a cheater..?

[trim mesa]

not everyone i fights cheating but i meet alot from a basis so, id say 75% cheaters so its overall just...annoying i guess

[lean breach]

I think you are still too green behind the ears to know whos cheating or not ( unless they are straight wall banging)

[trim mesa]

oh, can you gift apparel by the way?

[kind veldt]

dont believe so because of how weird ubiconnect is

[lean breach]

no.

you can pay pal someone 10$ for it though

[trim mesa]

thats too expensive im poor i only got like 450%

450% is crazy i meant 450$

[lean breach]

tf is 450 in this game..? all the clothings..?

[trim mesa]

i dunno if you misunderstood me or...

[olive kelp]

👀

[trim mesa]

im striding towards misunderstanding so..

[lean breach]

Memories

— 12:01 PM
thats too expensive im poor i only got like 450%
450% is crazy i meant 450$

[trim mesa]

go ahead and...tell me how you saw it

[lean breach]

whats there to misunderstand..?

[trim mesa]

what does THIS EXACT STATEMENT mean.

[lean breach]

I said you can gift someone 10$ on paypal. you pulled some 450$ number out the sky so I said whats 450$ idk whats to misunderstand..?

[trim mesa]

okay so your confused, i understand i was just saying i got 450 bucks on reserve so

[lean breach]

you make my head hurt... Ima go smke some weeds

[trim mesa]

did that on purpose, bye mate

[olive kelp]

Lmfao

[lean breach]

LOL what the 450 is going on here..

[trim mesa]

im engaged to a woman btw, about to marry so im not LGTBQ!

[lean breach]

6/7

[trim mesa]

with a profile like this id probably kms instead of showing my dms bruh

[lean breach]

LOL then you missed the point lol

[glad gulch]

❓

[trim mesa]

I missed the point...hmm 🤔

[kind veldt]

okay let's stop this weirdness train

focus on game

[glad gulch]

ragebaiting at its finest

[trim mesa]

okay bird poop

intrusive thoughts told me im sorry king 🙏

[lean breach]

no one knows

[kind veldt]

this is why a meme channel will never happen

[trim mesa]

no it WILL happen

probably not but im just saying that just to say it

[shadow saffron]

Agreed

[olive kelp]

Bro you drunk

[glad gulch]

good thing it didnt happen otherwise you have someone like this guy @lean breach spamming 67 in there

[kind veldt]

oh right we are getting one of those power up events this weekend?

[trim mesa]

we have hollywood so...

[kind veldt]

what day does it start again? friday?

[lean breach]

i mean he pulled some arbitrary ass number like 450 out sooo why now

[kind veldt]

not global event

i think it was about buffing all headshot and base weapon damage

[trim mesa]

aight, so i was just messing with you and you were to stubborn and all serious and deranged to notice???????!!!

[lean breach]

no you cant have a meme channle here casue people will get butt hurt.

[shadow saffron]

Deadeye Overdrive starts Friday yea

[glad gulch]

[glad gulch]

[trim mesa]

Okay DORKY

[frozen meadow]

[trim mesa]

Though i respect your a dad you gotta do what you gotta do, stay strong man 🙏

[glad gulch]

[lean breach]

[frozen meadow]

[kind veldt]

#off-topic-discussions

[thin oasis]

About the game....literally says right next to it

[lean breach]

put that beach on speaker LOL

[frozen meadow]

what

[frozen meadow]

its the doctor ._.

[lean breach]

IDK whats worce the doc or the lawyer LOL god speed

[frozen meadow]

lawyers are definitely worse because they dont actually care about you

[lean breach]

true, but can be said about the Dr. they are more likely to care then not though

[frozen meadow]

why would a doctor not care, thats literally their job

[lean breach]

some care more about the wallets then helping.

[frozen meadow]

not usually

[lean breach]

now a days think god you are 100% right!!!!

[exotic halo]

greetings fellow earthlings

[lean breach]

but there are still some out there that will just push the drugs

[shadow saffron]

Greetings

[frozen meadow]

there are

i had one

[exotic halo]

I am bored af rn, idk why I am on Roblox, idk what to do on Division 2 aside from grinding SHD level. I am like a week into the game at lv70+ rn

[lean breach]

what doc in they right mind gives a 16 y/o a scrip and I mean a FULL scrip to perks for a fractured wrist LOL... Like HOW RAISED YOU DOC!?!?!? LOL

goood tiems good times that was a fun few week...... bad 15 years after LOL but a great 2 weeks LOL

[frozen meadow]

my doctor prescribed me some things that make me debate their qualification but im doing fine now

at least im doing better lol im never doing fine

i moved outta the house and im taking care of a lot of health issues rn

[lean breach]

better then nothing right!?

[frozen meadow]

definitely

[exotic halo]

Does anyone here got any recommendation on what a newbie should do

[thin oasis]

What kind of newbie are we talking here?

Just started? Completed story?

[kind veldt]

you can try doing the weekly scouts, old manhunt missions, since the first couple of them give skills

[lean breach]

Have fun play the game and chill dont stress about maxing out the build. Oo and throw away that ninja bike back pack

[exotic halo]

I bought the gold edition a week ago, had some help, built a 4strikercoyote + equalizer UA (new armor set), running St Elmo's, kinda wanna find a way to quickly level up my SHD level so I can get into some PvP action, on a boosted character.

[thin oasis]

WEll, for a start with that build. You'll get smashed in PvP. It's an entirely different ball game.

[lean breach]

" built a 4strikercoyote + equalizer UA (new armor set), running St Elmo's,"

damn chill bro!!!! you gonna make the other noobs look bad!! hahaha

[thin oasis]

But, to farm SHD levels Just play, they'll come on their own

[exotic halo]

I got EB from the winter cache but then again I am eyeing on the Bighorn, summit at floor 31 ish?

[thin oasis]

Keep it, you want it if you're PvPing

[thin oasis]

Bighorn only drops on Legendary difficulty, and only from the bosses

[olive kelp]

Game is definetely more fun.just doing whatever you like without caring about builds but sooner or later you gonna.need them for heroic and legendary bro,have fun and welcome agent

[lean breach]

true, there is about 4 builds for it haha

[thin oasis]

Best way to get Bighorn is to farm Floor 10 on Legendary

[exotic halo]

I used to play TD1 so I am a big fan of the striker setup lmao

[thin oasis]

In a 4 person group, soi you get 4 chances each time

[exotic halo]

gotcha

[thin oasis]

All you have to do is kill the boss. If he doesn't drop the Bighorn, open map and exit to lobby. DO not kill all the enemies

[lean breach]

Nice nice, I was a FM guy in div 1, every good striker player needed a good FM hahahahah if you know...

[lean breach]

it works, but man do you gotta turn off the brain

[thin oasis]

I was farming them for clan members. I got 4 in 50 minutes lol

[exotic halo]

DAYUM

[simple spoke]

guys, can someone tell me how many hunters in the game are?

or where they spawning

[exotic halo]

Idk what to do rn on TD2, I prolly wanna experiment other builds for PvE, but my main focus rn is grind the SHD levels seeing that I am squishy af. Though I am kinda interested on how to get some other stuff in the game as well like the masks, maybe those watches on the backpack like decos lol

[lean breach]

lucky duck!!!!! GG bro did you hook the brothers up..?

[olive kelp]

Bro why are assesments so hard to get man ? Any way other than bounties ?

[thin oasis]

33 in total iirc

[lean breach]

what we talking about dawg

[thin oasis]

They spawn through hunter puzzles and riddles.

[simple spoke]

ok need 13 more...

[thin oasis]

Get the blueprint by farming Control Points on Challenging or Heroic and craft them yourself

[olive kelp]

The assesments bro i need to optimize my gear i need tons of them you know?

[exotic halo]

And am I supposed to keep a lookout on seasonal events if I want more drip? I spent like a lot for cosmetics myself lol

[simple spoke]

the hunters are crazy on legendary lel

makes fun

[olive kelp]

Is it random drop?

[thin oasis]

Yes, and there is a big pool of blueprints. BUt you can't get the same one twice

[olive kelp]

I cant even kill hunters on normal.bro wdym lll

[thin oasis]

SO eventually you will get them all and they're guaranteed drops

[river tartan]

only takes 60 hours

[simple spoke]

nah I play with my bois heheh

solo no chance mate xD

[lean breach]

The faction matts..?

[olive kelp]

Yes

[lean breach]

witch ones you need...?

[olive kelp]

All lol

[lean breach]

if all pick your fav mission and put on repeat LOL

[simple spoke]

yesterday I tried the kingbreaker build, but didnt like it

[olive kelp]

Wdym

[thin oasis]

KJingbreaker is just a shite gun lol

[simple spoke]

yep didnt like it either

[lean breach]

like whats your fav true sons mossion whats your fav outcast..? then do that on repeat LOL

[olive kelp]

Oh they drop assesments then ? Nice

[lean breach]

But i think countdown give a butt ton too I use the blue prient though so work bence LOL

[thin oasis]

All named bosses drop faction specific materials

Hence why I said do CPs on Heroic 😉

[lean breach]

so if you want true sons you do Lincoln cause 4 boss mans

[thin oasis]

Only one of them droips materials

[lean breach]

I taught it was all in said mission.

[thin oasis]

No, just the final encounter. Which is the big chunga dude

[lean breach]

ahhhhh

[thin oasis]

General Stompy Feet

But quick missions are still a good way to farm faction materials. Lots of ways to farm to prevent getting bored

Use them all.

[olive kelp]

You the man

You a dev bro ? @thin oasis ? Dont lie 😂

[little kiln]

Playing division 2 in the Rog Xbox Ally X is dope 😊

[thin oasis]

Nope, just a Dad.

Dad, Gamer, avid slipper wearer

[olive kelp]

But yea as you said mixing missions can be more fun than doing the same stuff alk the time you knoq

[plucky bridge]

There are a lot of people with really bad manners in random matches for event bounties.
There are a lot of agents who are busy collecting dropped items while their allies are in battle.

Too bad most of them aren't low SHD level. People with low SHD level are more gentlemen.

[lean breach]

work smarter not harder...?

[olive kelp]

I see afk ppl on countdown all the time they be checking inventory,inspecting loot, observing the weather whatever man they have like zero damage

[thin oasis]

Seems like your awareness is lacking then...

[lean breach]

i mean if im farming... Im lit jsut running in and collecting loot LOL i wont even shoot

[olive kelp]

On the other hand many ppl gifted me exotics just to help because i am low level and thats why i have lots of respect for this comminity

Its generally the rule.of life you know ? There are 10 bad ppl but when you find one good your faith in humanity is restored lol

[lean breach]

my go to move, go in farm, get the peace i need and leave LOL

[olive kelp]

I mean not even the best loot in the game can be compared with when i am playing with friends and we having fun you know ?

[lean breach]

thats diff haha

[olive kelp]

Yea but you get the point boss

[lean breach]

duhhhh!!! LOL

[tender finch]

can i do specialization mission in group? does it count my teammates kill as well?

[kind veldt]

the ones to unlock specializations? i believe the project steps regarding kills only count yours

[tender finch]

ok im fxcked

[kind veldt]

if you are having trouble with one specific people can usually give some advice on a easier way to do it

[tender finch]

i mean i gatta kill 5 heavy weapon enemies in open world

does this mean dark zone?

[high wren]

have to say the Krampus extension was a huge boon for today's "kill 15 named enemies" GE challenge

[lean breach]

EZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

[lean breach]

I mean If you wanna yeah why not

[high wren]

I did one squad, the bounty dropped, and it was finished. Then I got chainsawed to death because my seeker mines missed and I was out of specialist ammo.

[lean breach]

hahaha

[lean breach]

I think EMP jammer works too cant miss with that

[kind veldt]

no, it means the heavy enemies that you need to break the armor pieces, like true sons granade launcher guy or sledgehammer outcast

[high wren]

it also did not help that for whatever reason I didn't actually leave combat between the 3 rooms so I didn't get free healing

[high wren]

yeah I'll probably swap to that in...27 more shield hits with explosive skills.

and I assume for the "blind 3 guys at once" one I'll have better luck swapping to Sharpshooter for flashbang than relying on the firefly

[lean breach]

na blinder flyer fly should work

[kind veldt]

as long as you tag people and dont double tap it

[high wren]

I think I'm still just used to the early days when the firefly would constantly yeet itself into the nearest obstacle lol

side note as I'm looking at main missions with cleaners to kill, I wish the two NYC maps would be combined for people who own both

[lean breach]

you gotta mark them so get into cover putt the fly in your hand and "look" at people it will tag them

[olive kelp]

I just got chameleon is it any good?

[lean breach]

maaaaaahhhhhhhhh\

[thin oasis]

It can be, but it's not easy to use.

It has a very high damage ceiling, one of the highest of any AR.

But it plays more like an SMG.

[olive kelp]

Shoot the heads i guess?

[thin oasis]

Bodies first, then heads

[kind veldt]

Poor range and accuracy, but high rof and strong but slow talent

[thin oasis]

If you can get all three buffs going, it's DPS is unmatched. But it takes practise to make it useful and in most situations it's not worth it.

Still a fun gun to us and one I play with regularly.

[olive kelp]

Aye thanks guys

[lean breach]

when in doubt lex it out

[reef mulch]

yo guys, wheres the hollywood vendor?

[thin oasis]

When you spawn at the BoO go right through the gate, and turn right. There

[queen patio]

Did my first degeuon and it was entense

[high wren]

is it me or are the Brooklyn Cleaners significantly harder than the ones on Manhattan? Just did the refinery alone on challenging for GE tasks and it got real rough in some spots

[queen patio]

That sounds tough

[shadow saffron]

Yeah I noticed that too! Could be because they have the purple fire and it’s stronger?

[grave plinth]

How do I report a hacker? With footage.

[kind veldt]

Purple flame and some ecounter rooms are planned around flanking and being more open

[lunar hare]

first link in #rules

[kind veldt]

#rules has a link to ubi support

[grave plinth]

Thanks

[high wren]

yeah the turret room was my first wipe. the dog got me once but then I found a nice cheesy angle to melt it before the add spawned, and the last boss ran me dry on armor kits that were finishing casting with me at like 2hp but still went down in one

[shadow saffron]

Purple flames are spicy mfers

[high wren]

it was overall still really good for the challenges though since I at least find those tanks some of the easiest weak points to pop

and when they do group up minigun goes brrrtttt

ooh finally an exotic from a winter cache that wasn't the damn gunslinger holster

[shadow saffron]

Congrats!

[lean breach]

YES AND YES, that purp fire is op

When I had to go there to do somthing I had my cav back fire build on and that purp fire didnt care that i was 100% haz pro it still hurts you

[high wren]

The collector in me is once again cursing the size of the stash

I just want one of everything and they keep adding more stuff with only occasional increases to stash size lol

[edgy fable]

450 slots isn't big enough for you?

Plus three mules that you can create

[high wren]

I haven't counted but it feels like the total of each exotic + each named + 6*each set may well be more than 450

[lean breach]

I hate to say this but... No not one bit... LOl witht hat seid I start to get anxity at 398 in my stash LOL

[hybrid ore]

@jaunty jackal You're looking for #lfg-pc, GL Agent

[jaunty jackal]

Thnx

[high wren]

I'm at 358 as I go through and pick ou the duplicates from this loot cycle

[edgy fable]

I have 400 slots, I don't own the Y1 stuff

[lean breach]

i have some 55 lex as of now LOL

[hybrid ore]

If you have 398 items in your stash, you are keeping some junk.

[edgy fable]

Wth

[lean breach]

about 1 -2 times a month I do a purg lol

[edgy fable]

There's your explanation I guess, haha

[hybrid ore]

Div2 is a game that does not like a hoarder, you need to be ruthless in what you keep.

[lean breach]

"Hi im Ilike your feet and ihave a addiction"

[high wren]

I think when I hit 400 I'll raise my standards on roll quality rather than just having the right stats

[lean breach]

I hate to say this but i agree with you on this and only this

[hybrid ore]

Pardon?

[elfin verge]

Yeah there's not much reason to hoard. It's not like Destiny where old things randomly became OP with an update

[thin oasis]

Rivens has 397 items in her stash

[high wren]

ok so if my math is right keeping just enough of each set to activate it need 96 items, and a full set of each would be 144

[lean breach]

yes taht happens here too.

[elfin verge]

Not really to the same extent

[hybrid ore]

The thing is: Countdown exists in div2. You can farm out new items very rapidly.

[hybrid ore]

Hey now, I only have 356. The world needs to keep its supply of Dark Winters somewhere.

[high wren]

after finishing the looking through I'm at 352 in the stash plus 75 mods in inventory and a spare Lexington with Measured for group content

[lean breach]

Ill ahve to take your word for it, casue you right we dont get thats op again just a new flavor of striker comes out and makes the old one not as good

[thin oasis]

I have 400, but I do have some spares and some junk

[lean breach]

as I was typing i was thinking lol

[high wren]

on the mod side some of this could be helped by consolidating mods that do the same thing but for different skill variants. like instead of having +4 stim charged & +4 repair charges on the hive just collapse them all into +4 charges

[lean breach]

But in div things liek this happen LOL - who in there right mind ever would have taught a converted SMG9 would have been meta but here we are LOL

[high wren]

and maybe combine all the specific status effect ones into a generic status effect duration

[hybrid ore]

I was a big hoarder myself back in the day, but becoming ruthless with it is important for your long term div life.
Look at it this way: can you make an item perfect via 1-2 optimisations and 1 recal? If not: seriously consider melting it down.

[elfin verge]

Is it though? lol

[thin oasis]

SMG9 is an extremely good gun, but not as a primary.

[elfin verge]

Maybe we have different definitions of meta, I don't know

[thin oasis]

Unwavering SMG9 is a fantastic secondary

[lean breach]

thats what they say.... LOL if you ask me it looks hot trash LOL but I do know it was meta for a LONG time

[hybrid ore]

I will say that the tiny fast smg's are amazing with a tink striker setup as your main gun.

[lean breach]

Im weird IDC how good the gun is if it looks like hot booty hole I wont use it lOL

[high wren]

I have similar opinions to the point where I'm tempted to nerf myself by using suppressors instead of the 5% CHC muzzle brake

[hybrid ore]

You've gotten that backwards.

[lean breach]

I like the brake on most guns not handguns lol

[lean breach]

how so..?

[hybrid ore]

SMG-9 for the first... I wanna say 5 or so years of div2 was an absolute car-fire of a gun.

As was most of our arsenal, actually.

There was a fairly massive weapon buffing update yonks back.

[shadow saffron]

I go through my inventory and stash every now and then to get rid of stuff I don’t need or because i had more than two agents and had dupes of items. Thanks for reminding me to go through and declutter tonight! Lol

[high wren]

I tend to think of it from the realism perspective where for most of the guns we use running a can is all upsides

like tbh unless we have completely invisible earpro every single one of our agents is deaf by now

[lean breach]

Sorry I missed a work it sould have read "LLOKS liek hot trash" hahahah my fault

[lean breach]

but with all you said youa re right its a great little gun now

[inland minnow]

When does this event with christmas caches ends? Please don't tell me it's tommorow

[small spear]

jan 13

[uneven stirrup]

4 DAYS, 11 HOURS

ooops caps

[inland minnow]

Yeee boyy, plenty of time to farm those exotics

[lean breach]

truee

[olive kelp]

So with my tipping scales bluescreen build i hit around 150k and crit for like 1.5m

Is this normal ? lol

[lunar hare]

yup, you should be somewhere around 300-400k without stacks but I assume your CHC is a bit low

[olive kelp]

Yes sir its a newly farmed build i just started optimizing i am around 51 chc

[lunar hare]

not as low as I thought it was, just needs some polishing

[lean breach]

just the tip is a great build hits so........ hard hahaha

[hybrid ore]

Okay let's tone down the NSFW talk.

[lean breach]

I can respect that after waht I seen at the other discord LOL

[inland minnow]

Well..i must say, i'm glad i've came back just at time within this event. Per one day got my ouroboros, eagle bearer & nemesis and plenty of decent rewards.
yippy

another headache to obtain will be the regulus but it'll drop for sure tommorow

[unreal wadi]

Yo anyone farming the winter I've found a street legal strat to farm. the kramplauf medic keep him alive as long as possible and let him keep reviving. You can get multiple keys and tickets if you let him work his magic

[wind pilot]

I always work night shifts, so I mostly play early in the morning when other people are asleep. Based on this, do you have any idea which platform has more players online at that time of day? Playstation or PC??

[inland minnow]

Pc always probably

[lean breach]

ARE YOU us OR eu

[wind pilot]

EU @lean breach

[lean breach]

you neeed to find some asian or aussie friends I cxant help you LOL

[unreal wadi]

Of dependent on your time zone I might be on at that time

also why doesnt the report have a cheater option? you can report them for looking at you funny but you cant report a obvious cheater?

[wind pilot]

@unreal wadi Germany EU

[unreal wadi]

I'm east coast your night is around my mid day or later evening it shouldnt be to late i might be on

[lean breach]

Yeash im east coast also, but I play in the am herein the US

[glad gulch]

question. if i have all the cosmetics earned from the winter cache. and i open another one. does it give me textiles?

[edgy fable]

No

We don't do that here

You have XP events for that

[hybrid ore]

@honest flint Rule 6, do not ask for that.

[edgy fable]

Did you mean to "insult" me by using the LGBTQ flag or what?

[hybrid ore]

I'd like you to answer that question as well.

[edgy fable]

Not that I think of it myself but I know how it is used very often

OK cya

Angry French kid here

[hybrid ore]

What an unpleasent person.

[edgy fable]

Thx

[hybrid ore]

In case I'm not active, feel free to tag a mod in green if someone like that shows up in the future.
We do not tolerate people like that here.

[edgy fable]

Nobody does really 😄

[edgy fable]

You will not be able to open any further apparel caches once you acquired all the items

[glad gulch]

now if i say something about that french kid i sound racist

[glad gulch]

😭 very very sad

[hybrid ore]

Let's not focus on their nationality, that very much was not the issue.

[glad gulch]

i am quite literally too lazy to farm for crate keys in hopes for a dupe to buy smth with textiles 😔

[edgy fable]

Instead keep opening the item caches

[hybrid ore]

^Once you open all Winter Apparel Caches, you can use the rest of your keys to open the Gear Caches instead.

[glad gulch]

i think i have everything from it so i dont think i need to open them anymore

[hybrid ore]

which contain a chance at the Regulus/Eagle Bearer/Ouroboros, normally unobtainable outside of the stretch goal event.

[glad gulch]

im guessing the best drops that you can get is regulus EB and ouro right?

[edgy fable]

You get a loooooooooot of exotic components, my friend

[glad gulch]

yeah i got them all lmao

[hybrid ore]

By deep endgame, you are going to need thousands of exo comps.
It's a great time to stock up.

[lean breach]

LEX AR in there too

[glad gulch]

i got that too and even quickstep if i remember

[lean breach]

And tons of exotic comps, everyone neeeds them

[hybrid ore]

This has a list of everything obtainable within: https://thedivision2.com/winter-event

[glad gulch]

for what again?

[edgy fable]

Expertise system

[hybrid ore]

The Expertise system requires exo comps after a few upgrades.

Less now than it used to, but still a lot.

[glad gulch]

uh oh

[lean breach]

Exotic comps to make things go... MORE DMG!!!!!!

[edgy fable]

Here is a cost breakdown, might help you understand it better:
#ask-td2-community message

[hybrid ore]

Well, not as much dmg as you'd think, but div is a math nerds game, every % counts.

[lean breach]

THINKS to this event my head hunterfury went from 25 to 30 all 6 peaces, my big sheild from 20 to 30 and my foam20-30

[glad gulch]

right..

[hybrid ore]

Oh you didn't spend Expertise on gear, did you?

[lean breach]

with that right.. I think he is not a expter for gear HAha

[hybrid ore]

Sorry, what?

[lean breach]

Idont think he makes his gear stronger

Sorry stupid caps locks LOL

[hybrid ore]

Are you talking about yourself in 3rd person?

[lean breach]

I can tell you this, with 6 peaces of lvl 30 gear im still less armor then if i had a expertice 0 with 1 blue core lol

[hybrid ore]

Expertise on gear is basically worthless, as it only works on base armour, not counting cores.

[glad gulch]

i never expertised 😭

[hazy elm]

Lol, scout 3 mission 3 can be done by simply finishing the weekly SHD project in West Potomac park instead of actually donating resources to control points

[glad gulch]

I DID IIIIIIIIIT I GOT 600 TEXTILEES RTAJQWEIHGWEUYWEGHEW

[iron adder]

198k armor so slightly more than 1 blue core (170k)

[lean breach]

I may have mathed that wrong lOL

Ill look at what I compaired

[lean breach]

20 is a good number makes you look like a vet LOL
30... eyah it was stupid LOL but hunter is my fave fave since it dropped now I jsut run it reggy not smg so it just a phound my chest thing LOL

[hybrid ore]

I promise you, no one who knows what they're doing is going to see Expertise on gear pieces and think "vet".

"drunk" is far more likely.

[iron adder]

I bricked my character with fire chem expertise lol

[shadow saffron]

I see "they have a lot of exotic components" if vast majority of their builds are 20+ lol

[lean breach]

I like to see the numbers if its my fav build its what get lvl'ed

New TD2 Dev interview

[olive kelp]

Devs from 1 came back for survivors nice

Also snow coming to washinghton

Very very nice

[pliant dust]

Get rid of the damn Krampus!!!

[edgy fable]

That's your job

[lunar hare]

^ plus the event ends on the 13th

[torpid pecan]

Random question once u go to new York u can't come back to dc right?

[lunar hare]

you can after you get to Haven

[torpid pecan]

Gotcha

[lunar hare]

at least I could

[pliant dust]

The event was supposed to on the 6th

[olive kelp]

they always pop while i am in the middle of something and ruin my life bro

even with decent build those guys need a lot of bullets too

[edgy fable]

They're pretty easy to defeat with the Hollywood event

[olive kelp]

didnt tried the event tbh bro

[edgy fable]

Whenever a global event is up you should farm it and collect those event stars. As a new player especially a great source for named items

[lost granite]

I dont know whether i should ask this here, but could someone drop me a highend deagle, so i can get the relevant trophy for constructing an exotic, im not having any luck getting one through the usual channels.

[edgy fable]

One cannot simply drop items for other players, that's not how it works

In order to share loot you need to be in a group at the time an item drops

[olive kelp]

do i have to activate it somwhow ?

[lost granite]

Ok, looks like im spending alot more time getting this godawful trophy

[edgy fable]

Yes, in the Events Timeline menu

[lunar hare]

Menu > Season Panel > Events Timeline > Hollywood > Details > Activate

[olive kelp]

thanks guys

[lean breach]

no thank you!!!

[lunar hare]

huh?

[waxen spindle]

hello, i needd help, I want to get the blacklisters, someone can help me ? im on pc

[olive kelp]

For what ? 👀

[lean breach]

IDK I taught youd know

[cursive remnant]

whats up ya'll

[rich heart]

I keep getting some kind of FPS lag spikes on Krampus location exclusively. Anybody else seen that?

[kind veldt]

you need to do the Tidal basin Pact mission on master difficulty to get it, if you are looking for others to play with then try #lfg-pc

[white shadow]

from the event gear cache, what do i gotta aim for? im planning to clear out apparel cache, but about gear i keep getting random ones and not sure what i should be aiming for or when i should stop

[jagged prism]

good 90% probably aim for the exotics in it

[hollow vessel]

so are keys dropping again?

[jagged prism]

supposedly since the krampuslauf are spawning again

[river tartan]

yes they fixed it last weekend

[hybrid ore]

Until the 13th, when the event ends.

[south topaz]

Lexi, turmoil, quickstep, eb, regulus, ouro, chatterbox, nemesis, dodge city

[jagged prism]

thanks Jarvis, i only remembered EB honestly 😹

[hybrid ore]

The #news-and-announcements post for it has a list of everything that's in the caches.

[brave idol]

Any idea where i can find snitch merchant?

[jagged prism]

you log in it'll be spawned randomly. look at a snitch map and pick a spot. log in not there, log out and log back in and keep looking

[brave idol]

Snitch map?

[lunar hare]

Spawns randomly but here's a way around.
#ask-td2-community message

[brave idol]

Thank you

[spare void]

Question im just starting the Div2 is there anything I should know?

[jagged prism]

personally. i'd say play a level 1-40 character taking in the sights. you won't need to worry about builds until you are level 40

also, know there's really no matchmaking for you and be careful of calling for help in game, if you don't want to be carried by a level 40 player when you're low level.

[brave idol]

Lol yes he was there

I got the bounty but there is supposed to be 2 merchants on the map, right?

[jagged prism]

yes, don't need the bounty

[lunar hare]

you don't need to do the bounty, but yes, they should be in the map just check that they're open before going to them

[jagged prism]

there was a link to a website to show if they're open or closed but i don't remember where that link is

[spare void]

Thank you

[jagged prism]

https://divisiontimers.com/

[rugged jewel]

Hi, is there anyone who would be willing to help me get the Eagle Bearer?

[jagged prism]

you'd need more than 1 person. like 7 people

[alpine canyon]

How many days deadeye event last?

[jagged prism]

friday to sunday or monday

[rugged jewel]

Ya I know, I just want to try and get my hands on it

[jagged prism]

otherwise try your luck farming what's left of the Krampus

[rugged jewel]

Oh can I get it from that?

[jagged prism]

the more you read and talk here, the more time you lose getting it that way

but yes, it's a 8% chance to get an exotic in the cache and 33.3% chance to get eagle bearer from it or something like that

[rugged jewel]

Alr thanks, I'll try my luck there

[jagged prism]

other place to try is end of season they do stretch goals and it's usually in that as well, but since exclusive exotics are growing the chance for one is even lower. they include the climax mission exotics in there as well. many of us aren't happy they added those

[alpine canyon]

Thank you

[brazen fossil]

how do i get the 60 round for ars

[undone timber]

There isn't one

Eagle bearer and Elmo have 60/70 round mags respectively but they're unique mods not obtainable on other guns

[tropic sentinel]

I think you can get it by stacking some set bonuses, but it's a waste of dps.

[brazen fossil]

45 is the max?

[real moth]

50 is standard for most ARs if you have the +20 mag attachment.

Most ARs have 30+1 as base, some select ones have more or less. If you really just want max mag size, you could run 3pc Unit Alloys

[olive kelp]

What if i use tipping scales with elmo?

Would i get +30% magazine size or that doesnt work?

And if not is there any othrr way to increase elmo magazine ??

[lunar hare]

it works but you'll be losing the LMG dmg from TS since you're using an AR instead

[lunar hare]

you can increase it but it's not worth it

[floral ore]

^^

[olive kelp]

Got you boss

[floral ore]

a mag with 50 bullets that deal 1 million per bullet is 50mil dmg but with a 70 round dealing 700k ends up dealing less overall (49mil) so bigger mag doesnt equal more dmg

[olive kelp]

Yea bro i just hate to spam square all the time honestly

[dry depot]

hitting a blinker every legendary fight

[lunar hare]

you get used to it honestly and takes a while

[ruby canopy]

can someone help please?....so im playing refractor and getting 250mill heals on a heroic mission....how i get improve? im running 4 pc ref and 2 pc hanu and technician although still unlocking stuff.......do i simply go to somewhere like summit and farm a full invent of refractor to try get perfect rolls?

[south topaz]

250m in heroic is good mostly people don't need any heal in heroic so u can't heal them when they have full armor most of the time

[floral ore]

if you max your build you're doing the most you can possibly do other than optimize your playstyle

[ruby canopy]

oh lol.....ty....how can i test my gear to see if im at a GOOD LEVEL OR NOT?

[floral ore]

but yes jarvis is right most heroic runs don't require alot of healing unless its bad players, i'd test in random matchmaking legendary to find out how high you can truly go

[brazen elm]

just take it to a heroic stronghold

[jaunty haven]

,man these krampus things are really annoying when farming hollywood 😐

[olive kelp]

They are always annoying hollywood or not lol

Like am in the middle of capturing a herouc cp and as i am in cover under fire boom krampus behind me you feel me bro lol

[pulsar orchid]

just the worst

[full jay]

Oooh logged in my pc account had 91 stars why? Global event starts but 0 expertise

[tender wave]

Maybe carried forward from a previous event (although that's not a consistently reliable thing, always best to spend all your stars before the event finishes)

[shadow saffron]

Last Hollywood event when it was x5 XP too,I got 740 stars lol

[full jay]

I haven't played in 2 years!

[exotic halo]

Quick question.

Will TD2 add an M7 or an M250 gun model?

[full jay]

Cool though im happy to donate for expertise mine is 0

[minor apex]

Sup

[river tartan]

is Vile just useless? I tested it on a grunt and it did like 1% of his hp per second

[jaunty haven]

they need the license for it unless its an exotic

[tropic sentinel]

If you used it on red dps build then yes.

[full zinc]

Its only really worth when stacking status effects, using an amp like glass and/or ep bag, and in conjunction with an already high damage status. As a stand along damage its meh at best, on something like ep fire its pretty goated

[river tartan]

glass is Glass Cannon? like on The Sacrifice?

wait

does the Flurry from Snow Machine trigger vile debuff?

[olive kelp]

Yes glass cannon is sacrifice

[jaunty haven]

the sacrifice of getting potentially 1 shot through protection 🤣

[olive kelp]

Yes but 30% more total damage bro

Nothing comes free in life you know?

Only mamas love

lol

[novel moat]

How do you get the gift boxes to give you the 40 presents plz ?

NVM got to shoot them do’h

[kind veldt]

snow machine kneepads are just cosmedic effect

[lean breach]

and if you run low setting they dont do jack LOL

[real condor]

Hey world !

[exotic halo]

Should definitely get the M7 as an exotic

[sudden glen]

Sup, can you tell me can I get Turmoil Knee Pads from Ceska for targeted mining? Or where can I get them?

[kind veldt]

turmoil only drops during special events

such as the christmas one

[river tartan]

farm krampus open winter caches

[sudden glen]

Only Gear Caches?

[river tartan]

yessir turmoil is in the winter gear caches
I have a spreadsheet listing them at 4.54% but I don't have official source

[wheat pulsar]

I had about 50 keys left and open them all yesterday, had about 6 Turmoil drop in that mix along with all the exclusive exotics.

Farm on normal you can get a lot of keys in a fairly short timeframe

[lean breach]

once you get eh 30..? 25...? peaces of clothes skins emots. dono the 30 keys for the patches (if you want them) then alll go to gear fo all them SPICY!!!!! reggys EB ora ora Lex ect the go go juiuce aka quickstep

[sudden glen]

I'm new to D2, can you tell me how to farm Krampus keys quickly? I know about the liquidation mode, but it takes a very long time to update (several days)

[lean breach]

how many agents do you have..?

[sudden glen]

Oh, I get it, obviously it's done with agent twinkies.

[lunar hare]

uhh, no?

[lean breach]

Ahh ok method 1- just farm open world dont go into missions jsut farm the open world they will spawn every 10 mins, I rec a scanner pulse so you dont lose them

[sly tundra]

Are you 40 already?

[wheat pulsar]

Set world to normal, run around the map and get a Krump bounty to drop. Once you get it you can cheese if you want and go do it but dont kill the Krump jsut die and start it over again.

[glad gulch]

does the houndsman come every halloween?

[sly tundra]

This was the first time

[lean breach]

this passed Hollow was the 1st time

[glad gulch]

what was b4 that

[lunar hare]

nah it was a one time event afaik

[glad gulch]

like was there a specific outfit or anything aside from guns?

[lean breach]

nothing...... LOL maybe a few goodies in the loot gobbo

[sly tundra]

Normal seasonal event.

[trim mesa]

Does one of you come ever halloween event WHAT!* Shuahjarlz

[glad gulch]

maybe i shouldve bought the damn game during halloween bro 😭

[sly tundra]

Why?

[glad gulch]

hunters look cool

[lean breach]

Why..?

[trim mesa]

Hunters look like people with conspiracy theatrics up their ass

[sly tundra]

For the cosmetics

[trim mesa]

well they kinda are cuz they just appear i guess in a ball of smoke like bat balls

[wheat pulsar]

I did a random bounty and it was the houndsman, I was like WTF. I guess people still have them saved

[trim mesa]

Bro lets do huntsman then do weed together but i raaah thingy

[sly tundra]

Yes a few of us do so others can do them.
We can't finish it with them that's it.

[glad gulch]

they lowk just look like mentally ill people wearing masks and going around butchering people (cuz thats what they are)

[trim mesa]

maybe we can go do that thing where we OH MY GOD RAAAH WEEED HTINGY POO FARTS

I pulled a arbitary weed bottle out of my ass but thingy that over there but i dont think now do it

Bro striker build so buns, like all the pros use it bro like bro...

I use the piss and balls build

When i was 15 they diagnosed me with scizophrenia and gave me a bottle of shit to deal wit it

[jovial sparrow]

Chameleon at level 40 has 44k damage something. But I saw on Reddit someone's Chameleon had 94k damage at level 40. How?

[south topaz]

build

[hybrid ore]

@trim mesa Okay that's enough of whatever this is. No more.

[trim mesa]

fine fine ill stop

i encountered a bug, idk why but in the bug i went to holsters crafting and it just gave me a blank screen, nothing there, and i couldnt get out

[lean breach]

that happens, hold "esc" (if on M&K) it should pull you out of it

[trim mesa]

didnt work, just saying 👍

[lean breach]

mmm alt f4

[trim mesa]

i just reset my game and it fixed

[thin oasis]

44k is the base damage.

[jovial sparrow]

What build would it be? Any suggestions? I absolutely love that weapon but don't use it because of the low damage.

[thin oasis]

It has a similar base damage to most other assault rifles....

[south topaz]

striker exodus perfect obli chest

[jovial sparrow]

Exactly my point. But that guy had 94k damage on Chameleon at level 40.

[thin oasis]

Yes....because the game shows the base damage with all weapon damage added on.....

[jovial sparrow]

You sure? I have better assault rifles with better ammo cap, damage, and fire rate.

[thin oasis]

I'm more than 100% sure....

[lean breach]

4 striker the salvo holster and the equalizer is the new flavor of striker for most OPness

[jovial sparrow]

Let me find the post. Hold on. Maybe you all can see and figure it out for me

[jagged prism]

beware of looking at your stats today upto sunday or monday. Deadeye Overdrive is active now

[south topaz]

yeah 30% more weapon damage another 30% if u don't have companion

[thin oasis]

My guiess is you're using Blue cores

[jovial sparrow]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Division2/s/uswmCS5hw3

[lean breach]

its not like the other one that boosted crit so stats are ok to look at

[olive kelp]

Hows exodus op tho bro its not a dps talent that means you are negative in dps as soon as you equip it right ?

[jovial sparrow]

What the heck is that now hahaha. I’m new to Division 2 so a lot of stuff I don’t know despite being Level 40.

[jagged prism]

well, it boosts Headshot damage, weapon damage and a few other weapon stats. so yeah your stats are going to be upped just for the weekend

[lean breach]

Its not its a "As seen on tv" gloves. they are a gmick a bamboozle lol and in PVP they are a dead ass give away where you is LOL

[jovial sparrow]

I posted the link. Can you take a look and figure it out for a brother?

[lean breach]

thats true, but not crit so if making a build and checking crit it has no barring to how much or little crit you have

[south topaz]

chameleon talent gives 90% weapon damage and that talent lasts for 45sec, exodus smoke happens every 40 sec and can extend the timer by another 45 sec, if used right u can enjoy the cham talent for long time 😉

[kind veldt]

exodus are popular due being a secondary panic button like unbreakable is but without taking chest slot

[thin oasis]

My Chameleon has 123.3k at expertise level 16.

[kind veldt]

good utility not on chest or backpack is where some exotics shines

[thin oasis]

We alreayd figure it out for you.

He's using red cores, you're probably using armour or skill tier.

[jovial sparrow]

Oh dang. So he has 94k damage due to his expertise level? If yes, then it would make sense. My proficiency is Rank 1 on it currently.

[south topaz]

he also has 0 expertise

[jagged prism]

no, dorky is saying you probably are using 1-3 blue cores in your gear

[jovial sparrow]

And yes, mine is armor on kill build. Hunter's Fury 4 sets. So I'm currently running Pestilence (I know doesn't pair with my build but just to make it to Rank 10), and a PP-19 SMG.

[jagged prism]

the picture post you posted. they literaly just got the gun so they wouldn't have any expertise in it at all

[olive kelp]

I am 220lvl and 13 expertise i was like 24/7 hardgrinding the 3x tho

[thin oasis]

Armour of kill doesn't affect your CORE attribute.

[jovial sparrow]

That I know. Core attribute is different and tied to the weapon itself. Not on your set.

[kind veldt]

is the big simbol on the gear is red or blue

thats what the yare asking for YOUR build

[thin oasis]

NO, the core attribute is the MAIN attribute of your gear pieces

[south topaz]

maybe post ur build picture like him https://discord.com/channels/477210626742288384/553520755103760385

[thin oasis]

Either weapon Damage, Armour or Skill Tier

[jovial sparrow]

Ohh now it makes sense lol. I can't access the game yet. At work currently taking a break

[lean breach]

the 1st gear box I popped I got mine with x2 crit maxed out I was happy LOL

[jovial sparrow]

Btw my wife and I were wondering if Hollywood event is worth doing?

[thin oasis]

Yes, for event stars you can spend on caches at the vendor

[jagged prism]

if you got a build for it, it's worth getting the stars to buy things from the vendor

[lean breach]

me no, someone else might say yet LOL

[jovial sparrow]

What build would you recommend? I've got lots of builds and armor sets sitting in my stash.

[south topaz]

its a event that makes legendary and master so easy u just blow npcs and half the work is done

[daring junco]

im over 140 keys in and still havent got the reclus whats the drop rate on this pistal

[south topaz]

2.66%

[jagged prism]

if you look into @full zinc profile he has a mortar build, but you need explosive or emp

[thin oasis]

Doesn't require a specific build, just a specialisation weapon like the minigun or grenade launcher

[daring junco]

god damn lol

[jovial sparrow]

Oh yeah I rock the grenade launcher. Fully maxed out.

[jagged prism]

does the minigun work?

[south topaz]

got 2 regulus at start of the event, gave 1 to some new guy, from that moment i maybe opened 300+ caches but no regulus drop

[lean breach]

you can do a tip of the spire for unlimited noob tubes, a mortar build, endless seakers IDK what ever you feel like I guess haha

[thin oasis]

All spec weapons work

[daring junco]

well i got 6 days left to get it from this event so ima have to grind it out then

[jovial sparrow]

I do have the seeker mines that become clusters and explode. And a mortar turret. Imma do that event tonight then lol

[jagged prism]

could you imagine if they messed up the timing and we had hollywood with next week weekend event where we generate specialized ammo? 😹

[south topaz]

hollywood itself gives so much special ammo like u can't even pickup all ammo from ground

[thin oasis]

And if you run the same missions over and over for stars, you'll never run low on spec ammo

[jovial sparrow]

Btw is Doctor Home a good rifle? Or should I stick to Designated Hitter? Been in love with DH since day 1 of Division 2 because of the accuracy.

[thin oasis]

Neither are good

[south topaz]

now i never thought hollywood and that deadeye gonna run together but anyway 🤔

[jagged prism]

i'ts meh at best

[jovial sparrow]

Bro no way. What about Mantis? I got White Death too.

[jagged prism]

think people running around with their HHReg builds?

[thin oasis]

Unless you're running a full one shot build, snipers aren't greeat.

White Death is the highest first shot MMR in the game, but none of them work without a proper build

[south topaz]

i did some random legendary and saw mostly mortar and seeker guys, they can't blow npcs faster than my grenade launcher so some even leaving mid mission

[lean breach]

if one of you run hardwire big sheild and seekers and the other run DPS yall will have a blast

[olive kelp]

I play nemesis sometimes for fun without proper build meta is sometimes boring bro imo

[jovial sparrow]

Its always my wife and I duo'ing every event and that's how we prefer it. She is big on shields and shotguns tho. Me? I'm more of a LMG and SMG runner with a drone and turret.

Guys, best shotgun in your opinion?

[thin oasis]

Not about being meta. But using a Sniper without a build for it is a waste of your time.

[jagged prism]

you could run with blue shield is it called? named LMG that at stacks can emp,disprupt and pulse targets?

[lean breach]

well she can still run the sheild and shotty on the hardwire If you want I can put together on the build tool for you/her.

[jagged prism]

@olive kelp loves looking for them ammo boxes in the middle of a run apparently 😹

[jovial sparrow]

I'd actually like that. Thanks, brother.

Btw is Oxpecker a good SMG? I just got it today from the winter gear cache. Currently running PP-19.

[south topaz]

oxpecker is not on winter caches 🤷🏻

[jagged prism]

it had a thing way back when it released, but it's pretty gimmicky so it gets stashed

[jovial sparrow]

How the heck did I get it then? Prolly from a loot and confused it from the gear cache 🤣

[thin oasis]

You didn't lol

[jagged prism]

did you do a priority objective?

[jovial sparrow]

I think so? We were just doing some random objectives to hunt down Krampus bounty.

[lean breach]

IDK if I can post links here so check DM bro bro!

[jovial sparrow]

Aight bruv

[lean breach]

qand no oxpecker is not that good, its fun to say the name though LOL

[buoyant pebble]

having server problems since 2 days, is there a problem with Asia/SEA servers?

[minor apex]

Idk :P

[jaunty haven]

im on east asia no issues here

[mossy shard]

Is there a dev suggestion box or is there a better server for that?

[hybrid ore]

#1380126780152614944 enjoy!

[glad gulch]

dread edict is the worst exotic in the game 👐

[jagged prism]

eh, i enjoyed it in a hotshot build when it first released. extra armor 😹

[kind veldt]

sacrum imperium is worse i say

SVD is at least a good gun

so it's just a decent MMR for good follow up shots

sacrum has no use

[lean breach]

yes

[lean breach]

you should check out teh named SVD

[jagged prism]

handbasket?i think it works well

[kind veldt]

i dont have issues with the SVD

considering i avoid using determined builds i do have a lot of experience with all MMR

[jagged prism]

infact my hotshot build is handbasket determined 😹

[glad gulch]

reasonable. but i still think the perk dread has is completly useless for a sniper. id say it would probably be really good for literally any other gun architype aside from shotguns

[lean breach]

very well

its not a bad unit at all

[jagged prism]

with deadeye running probably even better 😹

[lean breach]

Just gotta find one and slapped determined on it. Switch off your brain farm until you can’t farm no more lol

[jagged prism]

i at this point only have 2 pieces to farm but no motivation to farm it 😹

[lean breach]

what-cha looking for my friend..?

[jagged prism]

palisades mask with chance/damage so i can change the core to weapon, the real unicorn palisade chest with chance, damage, glass cannon on it 😹

[lean breach]

and dont say 13's LOL

[lean breach]

ezzzzzz!!!
not so ezzzz lol

[jagged prism]

nope, game gives me mask with everything but those 2 on it 😹 chest wise same thing lol. not in a hurry though so

[lean breach]

"not in a hurry though so " thats the best approch to it it will drop offf the random and youll be stupid happy

[jagged prism]

nods i've gotten a brazos piece with chance/damage in it was like YES, oh wait i'm hunting palisades

[lean breach]

best advice, if it hits the krampy bountie area farm it there best chance youll have for now (out side LM and countdown)

[jagged prism]

probably has, but i haven't had the motivation to play lately so i probably just missed it

did the krampus to get the apparel, and donate to the 330k then last one to get that outfit and did the gear with the extra keys i had on gear to get 2 exotics back to back and crunched them to components 😹

about all the motivation i've had oh and to get high enough in the pass to get the bittersweet 😹

[lean breach]

I have some 50 Lex in my stash becasue of this event LOL

[whole yacht]

@lunar hare I saw only 4 krampuslaufs, there were only tank, sniper, medic and rpg

[lunar hare]

only four spawn yeah
also depends on faction

[whole yacht]

Those were true sons it seemed

[shadow saffron]

I like the outcast krampuslaufs cause the rushers just die on their own lmao

[lunar hare]

the best location to look for them is in Downtown West/East/whatever, where Fallen Cranes control point is

and it's also the best location to cheese the bounty

[brave idol]

I see cassie mendoza's cart on the mal but there is nothing when i go there? Am i missing something

[lunar hare]

Check on your map if she's open.

[brave idol]

She is

Can she be underground?

[lunar hare]

I have no idea, might as well check on yt

[brave idol]

she must be inside a fender area but i can find entrance

[edgy fable]

Yes

[brave idol]

Got it she is there

She is selling the same staff as other vendors though. Fox's prayer with expl resistance just like countdown vendor

[slate radish]

Can quickstep drop from Krampus loot cache?

[jagged prism]

yes

[slate radish]

Legend thank you

[unique bramble]

I didn't find Faye lau eye patch cool until a friend of mine made his character look like solid snake from MGS5, now I regret it for not buying that eye patch.

[hybrid ore]

There's at least one other eye patch, keep an..... eye out for it.

[daring junco]

227 keys and I finally got the regulus pistol arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh should not have been that hard lol

[lean breach]

Na you have bad rng is what it is LOL

[daring junco]

Haha

[lean breach]

it took me a handfull of keys to get a ora ora then it was trash so I was like Ill see if I get outta cover on it, rolled it like 5x LOL then relized WTH!!! Ill get more in the event LOL oops

the very next key was a outta cover ora ora for my 2nd..? 3rd..? agent LOL

[daring junco]

Haha damn that's some luck

[green badge]

So undecided tonight. Farm more Keys, finish projects, Have some Whisky, do some Countdown, maybe another Whisky, do some retaliation to clear some blue prints off, have another Whisky, finish the Hollywood event.
I see you bottle of Red wine over there waiting for the Dark Zone.
🥳

[lunar hare]

And finish with another whisky

[green badge]

Moderation agent, moderation.😇

[shadow saffron]

Finish with more wine 🍷

[olive kelp]

farm keys and hollywood they have a time limit bro

rest can wait you know ?

so we just finished a cp heroic me and my brother and after we killed the last dude we were waiting like 20 minutes for enemies to come but nothing

is this a bug ?

[next sandal]

is the best thing for us to do as returning players right now smesh them winter keys before they are gone?

[olive kelp]

yes hurry up 4 days to go you know?

[next sandal]

we on it!

[lean breach]

did you hold "F" or square for you to call for back up LOL 😘

[olive kelp]

wym bruh

we killed them all then it said clear all enemies but there were no more enemies

and after like 30 minutes it suddenly said control poitn capture

[jagged prism]

they more likely just encountered something coming out of their spawn and got wiped or just despawned on ya

[lean breach]

I waas jsut amessing with you

I liek the ones they say call back up so you do and the game replys
"back up unavable" open map and you just see them walking around doing nothing LOL

[edgy fable]

Depends on what you mean by "finished". The JTF squad gets distracted by hostile NPCs sometimes and then apparently "forgets" to make their way to the CP afterwards. Reminds me of Dora from Finding Nemo :>

[olive kelp]

no bro

the jtf was there with us it was a long fight like 20 or 25 minutes? then there are no more enemies

so we wait for capture but nothing

anyways no big deal i was just wondering if its a common bug its all gucci

[edgy fable]

If that happens again equip a scanner pulse and scan the area for possibly stuck enemies, Idk

[lean breach]

Yeah I was jsut busting your chops bro bro but you knew that !!!!!!!

[olive kelp]

ofc bro you my boy 😂

[lean breach]

BLUE MY BOY!!!!!!

too bad no gif here LOL

[lean breach]

[sudden glen]

Hi, can you tell me how and where I can get the Overdogs gloves? thank you!

[slate radish]

Does anyone have the tinkerer mission?

[thin oasis]

Tar getted loot (Gloves) or Exotic caches

[thin oasis]

You have the tinkerer mission.

It's the Potomac Event Centre manhunt mission

It's available for everyone.

[slate radish]

AHH sweet do I have to do anything prior as I've returned after a while 😅

[unique summit]

do the manhunt mission on heroic then you can do it in master. also nice name.

[thin oasis]

Just hover over the Potomac mission and "change mission type" UNtil it says "Manhunt: Manager"

[slate radish]

Thank you for the info and thanks lol 😆

[unique summit]

i'd move there in a heartbeat

[old frost]

Just got a lexxyfrom the winter cache now . They do drop

[olive kelp]

Gz

[shy yoke]

I am very confused I haven't played the game in a few years and I come back today and the rate of fire has increased for all lmgs what happened and can you lower it again?

[kind veldt]

There has been some weapon rebalances and other changes

[lean breach]

Yeahh a few big updates ago they rebalanced all the gun to make them all equal and "fun" to use not just 3 guns

[shy yoke]

I just installed the game I'm not going to be forced to shoot the way they want me to I should be able to choose myself enjoyed I guess

[lean breach]

yes now you can play anygun you want vs jsut that one becasue it was top dawg, AR are a bit goofed up again casue the LEX is a thing rendering the higher rate of fire guns not good again but waht ever LOL

[shy yoke]

I am an LMG M60 guy so it doesn't work for me

[lean breach]

you sould get the bell ringer its a bag LMG that goes jingle bells LOL anso you might wanna check out tipping scales its LMG big boy dmg build

[lean breach]

Bro the chair!!!!!

[jaunty haven]

the named M60 is pretty good for crit builds but its kinda slowish

[torpid pecan]

What is the best ar rn

[edgy fable]

It depends as always

PvE, PvP, your build/s are deciding factors

[lavish wagon]

tips on getting reconstructed caches?

[cursive remnant]

[edgy fable]

Farming Retaliations and buying them at the crafting station once you have all materials / credits

[quasi trellis]

Is there any way to get equlaizer chest (other than season )

[edgy fable]

Targeted loot set to Unit Alloys

[quasi trellis]

Thx can i dm u?

[edgy fable]

If you have questions I'm happy to help you here

[quasi trellis]

I'm new to the game so i don't k much so i watched a yt video for stiker build

[edgy fable]

That's perfectly fine, everyone starts from the beginning. You're looking for a striker build?

[quasi trellis]

Hot i get overdogs gloves / Lexington

[quasi trellis]

Yeah i have the 4 set i'm working on the sup stats

I got the equalizer but i destroyed it 💔

[edgy fable]

Lexington is a special item, you can currently get it from the Winter Event 2025. Overdogs can be acquired from targeted loot set to gloves

[quasi trellis]

Winter evet u mean the gear box?

[edgy fable]

https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/game/the-division/the-division-2/news-updates/5vvrJVmcwiPIY8VyzMBsco/the-division-2-winter-event-2025
Here is the event description. Winter caches from the BoO, yes

If you have questions about builds check out #td2-build-advice There is a pinned message with a spreadsheet that will help you out in various ways, take a look

[trim mesa]

people are saying you can get elmos, etc from it, true or not

[quasi trellis]

Thx , last question is there any fast way farming winter keys ?

[edgy fable]

I haven't gotten an Elmo from the caches myself. I just saw two reddit posts about it. Doesn't look like it

[trim mesa]

krampus

[edgy fable]

Cheesing a Krampus bounty over and over

[trim mesa]

[brazen fossil]

[trim mesa]

for specilization

[trim mesa]

[brazen fossil]

I GOT EAGLEBEARER

[fervent cipher]

Welcome to the club brother

[brazen fossil]

cant believe i got regulus as well as eaglebearer from this event

and as soon as i pulled eaglebearer my friend also got it from the next cache too

[delicate wasp]

So I have a little tip for our fellow Count-downers that have a reviver hive equipped from the get-go, you can use a different skill until you get to the extraction stage, reason being is you you have 7 other players to pick you up when you go down, and I rarely see players go down in challenging countdown anyway (but don't use skills like turrets or drones, or you'll be as popular as a skunk🦨 at a tea party) 😱 🤣

[twin citrus]

Where the best place to find striker gear and exotic weapons

[delicate wasp]

Countdown for gear

Exo's all over the place 😁

[twin citrus]

I jus did one and had no luck

[delicate wasp]

Did you target striker gear in countdown ?

[fervent cipher]

So apparently, if you down while reviving someone you are stuck in the rez animation

[delicate wasp]

Exo's are rare in countdown lately

[twin citrus]

How do I do that

[delicate wasp]

Look on the map, hover over the green Pentco icon and push down on d-pad

[twin citrus]

Ok

[tawdry ore]

How thing would go if Big Arjendro return to Div2 as Exo weap?

[delicate wasp]

You'll pick other gear up as well as the gear you want

[twin citrus]

I appreciate that

[delicate wasp]

Also if you play enough, you get tokens from countdown that you can spend at the countdown shop, (next to the helipad) you need 224 tokens to buy a random exo cache, at the moment on challenging the token rate is about 80 to 140, depending how well you do

[fervent cipher]

Why are there marauder quadcopters in the skies of dc

[iron adder]

they are just... there

[fervent cipher]

I just switched to heroic, and my lord that thing caught me off guard

[twin citrus]

Ok thanks that’s good to know

[kind dagger]

Just returned to the game.
Decided to do the Legacy Manhunts since I’ve missed a lot.
(Haven’t been here since before Brooklyn DLC and True Sons allies)
-# i still don’t know how you activate those
Start up the Stovepipe manhunt

Sparkle

[quasi trellis]

Why everyone want it? I got like 7exotic weapons from event and destoryed it all 🤡

[unique summit]

@astral jacinth Moving here since we're way off topic at this point.

Not all digital games are the same. When you have a coop game with difficult content that's also build centric (like Division 2) then people will have expectations of each other when joining random groups.

Don't believe me?
https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/the-elitism-in-this-game-is-getting-to-be-too-much/1971539

[tropic sentinel]

Regulus is a good weapon for many broken strats.

Ofc if you play content that uses them, you'd get regulus anyhow.

[astral jacinth]

Yeah, but it’s not even a big game with higher stakes compared to wow. I’ve been playing mmos since the early 90’s and for some reason or another, my responses always gets rubbed the wrong way in this small community compared to games where I also participate in. I think it’s just the build channel in general since there are the select few users there who tend to be abnormally heavy handed in comments. I can see how this would happen if Division 2 had the playerbase and presence of wow, but it seems this community has a disproportionate amount of outspoken individuals imo, and I’ve been everywhere.

[quasi trellis]

I just started playing 3days ago so i don't k much

[unique summit]

I don't see why the size of the game matters. It's all proportional. If you read the thread I linked to you'll see very similar points made from both sides. It'll all seem very familiar 😛 In D2 if you matchmake leggo Tidal that's 30-60 minutes long. Wiping at 45 minutes is very disappointing for people so those are the stakes. If someone is running an ineffective build it can stress people out b/c they're worried about wiping and starting over.

Even spending 1.5 hours when it could have been 30 minutes is frustrating.

[sullen viper]

do you guys think the multiplication could have been a better sequel name?

[fervent cipher]

Just wait for the self healing warhound with keener lmao

[astral jacinth]

The thing is, I haven’t experienced this in the GRock server as you also seem to post in the same channels as me over there. They got some pretty laid back individuals and I’ve never had a problem with them, even in their own build channel. That’s why I tend to post my build pictures over there as well now. Never had bad communication with you over there either, weirdly enough.

[kind dagger]

🗿

[fervent cipher]

Oh, dont forget the swarm of rogue drones, and you having to protect keener while he puts down the warhounds invulnerable shield

[astral jacinth]

I think it’s the mentality here , it just affects users I guess

[unique summit]

People say the same thing about tanks there as they do here 🤷‍♂️

[fervent cipher]

Do that 3 times, and you get the lore reason of ANNA

[fervent cipher]

-# i mean the mechanics of protecting keener 3 times, not doing he manhunt 3 times lol

[astral jacinth]

I guess they say it in a more cordial way or something, since I never felt the same compared to here

[kind dagger]

Bro lemme beat Sparkle first please 🥀

[astral jacinth]

I get along with the regulars over there well enough, Prodigy, Riot foam, Average reflexes and the like. The mods there are also cooler as well

[fervent cipher]

If i had ps plus id help you, but ps decided that online pay is paid for

[elfin hazel]

my fault

I just wish GCRock didnt ping everyone for everything or at least actually used his roles meant for pinging about specific stuff

special shoutouts to them having lfg roles pingable for the longest time

that was a choice

[astral jacinth]

They mean well, but I still shut off all notifications as a standard in every server I’m in

[elfin hazel]

I feel like thats just how you gotta use discord

[unique summit]

right click mute indefinitely

[tacit yoke]

wait krampus is back?

[lunar hare]

since last week

[tacit yoke]

ahh i got so confused

[lunar hare]

and you only have 3 days left

[quasi trellis]

dose equalizer chest come from winter boxex?

[edgy fable]

No, targeted loot

[quasi trellis]

Thx

[quasi trellis]

I farmed like 2h and just drop another chest from same brand not equalizer

[edgy fable]

Kepp farming, just a matter of time

[quasi trellis]

Ok

[crude flare]

Im farming Overdogs gloves exotic in retalation hyena all the day, didnt get drop. Am i doing something wrong ? Or unlucky

[edgy fable]

Might be your difficulty, what did you set it to?

[tacit yoke]

whats the last part of manhunt?

is it patrols?

[quasi trellis]

How can i get Capacitior?

Winter box or what

[edgy fable]

No, neither that one

Best way is the Summit Project I guess

Open your map once inside the Summit, "Challenge" tab, pick "Ascend" and tactical challenge IIRC

[lunar hare]

Winter caches don't give anything that's not in its pool. It only includes Seasonal Weapond and Gear, Raid Exotics, Bittersweet, Chatterbox, Quickstep, Lexington, Turmoil, and many other items. It's also time limited.

[edgy fable]

Take a look at this:
#ask-td2-community message

[quasi trellis]

thx a lot

[crude flare]

Im in Heroic

[edgy fable]

There are several exotic blueprints you can get from Hyenas. Keep going I'd say

[quasi trellis]

What is IIRc

[edgy fable]

If I remember correctly

[whole yacht]

If I recall correctly, or what INF said

[quasi trellis]

AH 🤡

So, i just choose challenges?

[edgy fable]

Pick the one that rewards the Capacitor

[quasi trellis]

ok ok i got it now i need to complete 5 challenges to get it

[edgy fable]

Ah right

[sudden glen]

Hi, can you tell me if there is a difference in the difficulty level of farming krampus keys?

[south topaz]

No its always 8% chance for keys

[hollow hill]

Make sure you're playing on heroic

[silk vigil]

Heroic drops are higher, 95% on killsquad and 50% on completing while Challenging is 90% and 35%

Heroic Loots and general rewards are better also

[south topaz]

Heroic also give 1 exotic 1 named cache. Each time

[opal marsh]

Bruh, a blatant hacker just matchmade into my game 😐

[fluid meadow]

Gg

[opal marsh]

I left once I realized what the dude was doing

[thin oasis]

What exactly was he doing?

[opal marsh]

Started insta-killing legendary enemies through walls with St. Elmo's lol

[thin oasis]

Honestly, over 1,000 hours and i've yet to see a cheater in PvE so that's GG i guess

[opal marsh]

Same, up until now

[thin oasis]

And you don't have the Hollywood event active?

[opal marsh]

I join a friend on Asia servers one time and I get my first cheater experience lol

[opal marsh]

Nope, I HATE that event lol

I reported the player for "griefing" as there isn't an in-game report for cheating for some reason

[hollow hill]

I've seen multiple cheaters in pve and a plethora in pvp. While in pvp it's common, it is fairly rare to see it in PvE. But they do exist

[thin oasis]

Yeah I've no doubt they do. Very rare to see.

PvP they're everywhere lol

Had a guy the other day we both had exactly the same Bighorn Regen build on. Same optimised stats, same everything.

He killed me before I even managed to take one bar of his armour off....

[hollow hill]

Definitely bullet stacking

[kind dagger]

Saw a guy firing Nemesis and homing launcher rounds with the fire rate of an lmg like 2-3 days ago
