[tropic sentinel]

Of course, you've missed those?

[hybrid ore]

@wet heath It's not every single reset day, just when it's needed.

[smoky lava]

lol

[kind veldt]

server maintnance has been moved to thursdays now no?

[mighty girder]

someday I will gather the courage to run PGC (+V) when responding to backup

[toxic musk]

You wouldn't download a handbag

[small spear]

some day...

[mighty girder]

some day™

I'm still not that great at corner peeking yet so I still get destroyed 50% of the time when using PGC, but I've used it long enough that I can feel a sense of disgust when I see the obliterate icon appear on my character

[small spear]

it'll be natural soon the more u learn the optimal positions in each mission/encounter

[mighty girder]

I play Lincoln Memorial regularly to pretend that I'm good at the game

and definitely didn't get killed every 2/3 attempts

True Sons tanks are among my most disliked enemies

[median crescent]

You're probably better than average if that makes you feel better

[dire grotto]

I just got my first Handbasket MMR and Ninja Bike bag from a couple of caches, and I thought I would try it out with Hotshot and Turmoil
has anyone else who has this combo felt like it's cheating to use it?

[mighty girder]

ew ninjabike bag

[median crescent]

It's a fun exotic, no hate.

Keep it out of my lobbies but it's a fun exotic.

[dire grotto]

Ninja was so I can have the Hotshot set while also getting the extra bonuses from WH, plus it's just fun

[mighty girder]

I've only ever used it in my brief PVP attempts and then I realized I didn't like Div 2 PVP

[median crescent]

TBF with Reanimated, I no longer care what anyone's builds look like.

[mighty girder]

Or maybe it's because I'm bad, but either way that's the last time I'm using the bag

[dire grotto]

it was my white whale in Div 1, I never got one to drop

I can steamroll solo Heroic, and I think it could even do solo Legendary if I put enough effort in

[mighty girder]

you'll have better results with airaldi BP w/ vigilance

[dire grotto]

but that then loses out on Turmoil

[mighty girder]

use 3p hotshot

[brave idol]

How does one corner peak?

[median crescent]

I can send you a video, I don't think I am allowed to in here

[edgy fable]

I thought that was fixed?

About two years ago or so

[mighty girder]

idk i remember seeing standing a distance away from tall and wide cover to shoot enemies while being out of sight

probably me mixing up terminology

[edgy fable]

Was a pain in the ass in the DZ

[small spear]

you can infinitely melee bait them

[small spear]

you can send them, it's just you can't send links to your own videos

[median crescent]

No, it's an MP4 of your peeking, I actually cannot post it in here

[brave idol]

Describe how you do it

[small spear]

but anyways on true sons chungas, if you're close enough to them they can't nade you, and will try to get closer to melee you, you can keep dodging and manage him while you kill the other adds

[rough tiger]

You know one thing I would like to see is a dog backpack

[small spear]

post it in #ask-td2-community

[mighty girder]

interesting

[small spear]

same goes with outcast flamethrowers

if you wanna practice melee baiting, those 2 are the best enemy types to practice on

[mighty girder]

my performance in heroic is kinda weird

sometimes I can murder everyone without taking a single bullet, and other times I constantly trade damage and die

[pastel dirge]

Moving over from console to pc has been fun re grinding everything again

[dire grotto]

is there a bug on Grand Washington Hotel where Kelso just doesn't want to open the door to Eleanor?

[edgy fable]

Reanimated can cause issues like this. But there is a well-known bug regardless of any events where one NPC gets stuck in a room and that door won't open. Needs fire or oxi to deal with that

[dire grotto]

incredible

[edgy fable]

I don't think I've had that door you mean bug out on me yet

[dire grotto]

yeah, my drone shows no enemies, game just broke

waste of my time lmfao

[edgy fable]

Happens. See it positive, more loot if you run it again 😉

[dire grotto]

oh NOW she wants to do it

yeah, I'd like to avoid having to fight the two Rogues again by myself

[lunar hare]

those happen to spawn in rare occasions and not always

[edgy fable]

If you started over they'd be gone tho

[dire grotto]

yeah, this Handbasket Chainkiller setup obliterates
I need to try some solo Legendary now

[dire grotto]

is there a dark zone bug where named enemies just spam random SHD tech all at once?

One spawned and it sent out two explosive drones, an explosive RC car, and started hucking grenades all in the span of a second
there was literally nothing I could do lmao

[edgy fable]

That's not a bug

Some bounty bosses have those abiliities too iirc

[dire grotto]

Oh I know they can use SHD tech
I'm just wondering if it's a bug that they basically vomited out like 10 different things at once

[edgy fable]

Sounds a bit exaggerated but they can have like two abilities active or so, not sure rn

[dire grotto]

in one animation they threw out a grenade, two exp drones, and an RC car

why does the global event keep deactivating itself??

[kind veldt]

did you join someone's else group or went into DZ?

[dire grotto]

I did go to the DZ, yeah

[edgy fable]

Gotta turn it on again

[dire grotto]

weird, but I'll keep it in mind

[toxic musk]

TIL, Walter and Autumn react to you emoting in front of them

[brave idol]

Bounties are actually giving decent seasonal xp

[toxic musk]

Man. Wolves was a fight and a half

[edgy fable]

Got the mask?

[toxic musk]

I did

Happy to put that fight behind me, though

Although. My ego is satisfied that I managed to kill 3 of them using Pestilence's DoT

[edgy fable]

Nice! Def a very special fight

[toxic musk]

Truthfully, I don't even like the mask. Lmao, I kinda just wanted to experience the fight. (Even though it was a 4v4 (where I was DEFINITELY the weak link))

[kind veldt]

the hard mode is someone using a skill build constantly throwing turrets and drones

[toxic musk]

I will say, the modifiers from that season made Decoy so funny to me

[toxic musk]

Oh yeah nah. The amount of drones and turrets was hilarious

I will confess, I do feel a smidge more confident about Legendary DUA, now

[torn urchin]

they should add native mnk for pve on console

[hybrid viper]

Meaning?

[olive niche]

I got the Dark Winter SMG 😸
Only to realise it doesn't come with that dope skin 😒

[undone timber]

Named weapons never come with one

I think lefty technically does and maybe (?) stage left

[edgy fable]

Just Lefty I think

Back then you also got some from the season passes/apparel events IIRC. Those can be found in the shop too

But I don't think every named weapon has a signature skin

[hybrid viper]

Whats your best way to build CoCo stack?

I use mortar to mark em up when yhey got hit and then shred them down

[lunar hare]

its actually not meant to be a solo gearset, either you prestack before doing content with lots of enemies or you join a group

[hybrid viper]

So solo is kinda wack for solo. Hmmmm i see.

[soft echo]

Does the bloody houndsman bounties carry over after the event ends?

[lunar hare]

it happened before with houndsman and with Krampus so yes

[soft echo]

Okay thank you 🫡

[hybrid viper]

So I guess I will stick with OD. Hmmmm

[hybrid viper]

Also what secondary talent you guys use with OD?

My main has Sadist on it. Since I have Tinkerer mask on

[edgy fable]

What weapon type? lol

[lunar hare]

genuine question since Rifles are a great option for OD Tink

[edgy fable]

If LMG Sadist and Pressure Point is nice

[lunar hare]

killer my beloved

[edgy fable]

Sure, Killer too

Measured not bad either

[hybrid viper]

I never get it but whats Stability gives exactly? Recoil control?

I assume accuracy is the Recticle spread

[edgy fable]

Determines vertical recoil

[zinc lichen]

gives stability

[edgy fable]

Accuracy controls spread and bloom IIRC

[hybrid viper]

Pressure point only gives 15% amp wp dmg though. Beneficial? Compare to killer?

[edgy fable]

Isn't timer bound

[hybrid viper]

Ohhh I see so beneficit a lot from no cooldown tjmer

[edgy fable]

You do 15% increased damage to enemies under status effects. Killer for instance has a 10s timer and you need to keep killing enemies to keep it up

Works most of the time but not always, for instance in group play here and there

[inner elbow]

Also doesnt work when the killing shot is not a crit

[kind veldt]

while it should be most of the time if you have the 60% cap

the others being binary yes or not conditional does come in handy a lot

specially for higher damage weapons

[toxic musk]

I should really get back into Countdown for a CHD and CHC Lengmo Holster, but am I REALLY willing to hunt for 2.5% more Crit Chance

[hybrid ore]

Swap to Retal instead, at least there's a second reward you get from it, over Countdown Fun Bucks.

[toxic musk]

While a good idea. I simply prefer Countdown's soundtrack. Although, I REALLY should set my default difficulty to Heroic from Challenging

[edgy fable]

I must be in the minority to have ingame music off at all times

[toxic musk]

I'm gonna waste the Pilot's fuel to change the difficulty. Heh

[toxic musk]

In every game or just Div 2?

[edgy fable]

Every game

I listen to my own music

Well, playlists, not that I made it

[toxic musk]

Hmm, I would say listen to the soundtrack at least once or twice, tbh. Although if you've already done that, more power to you

[edgy fable]

I heard some new menu music is suppsed to be dope, ppl on several platforms are asking about it

But ngl, I cba to check it out myself

[uneven scarab]

Anyone able to help will floor 100 of the summit, I have been solo all the way and can't beat last floor.

[edgy fable]

Try in #lfg-xbox and gl

[uneven scarab]

Ok ty

[edgy fable]

Oh, check the GCROCK discord if you don't find anyone here

[uneven scarab]

Do you happen to have a invite link

[edgy fable]

I'll dm

[uneven scarab]

Ok ty

[carmine rune]

What's up division agents so glad to be here. What are y'all up to?

[hybrid ore]

nah dw you're not alone, I like my music/podcast playlist whilst I'm farming in games longterm

[toxic musk]

I will add, while I OCCASIONALLY do it. It entirely depends on the game

Anyway, woo-hoo. 2.5 more Crit Chance has been obtained!

[edgy fable]

If you mean the Sheriff you get it end of mission, it doesn't drop

Yes

[dire grotto]

I just did the Master Manager mission, and my postgame report says I did -1 billion damage, is that normal?

lmaoo gocha

[edgy fable]

Yes, it's called integer overflow in the stats

[quasi laurel]

lol we just played

[dire grotto]

haha very nice

happy to finally get the Tinkerer

[edgy fable]

It's really not. Something seems off with the water at times but you can easily compensate for that.
The mission is pretty short and not hard

[quasi laurel]

Does your damage numbers reset once you change build in a mission?

[edgy fable]

Group up as long as you have the chance I would say, unless you wanna do everything solo

You can mute VC if that bothers you

TBH it's not a raid so nobody would insist on using VC

I MM for that mission a dozen times or so and nobody ever used VC lol

[dire grotto]

does Preservation not work with The Tinkerer?

hmm, it doesn't seem like this Exotic works at all

oh wait, they need to be the same type of weapon?

ahh gocha, I was reading that wrong

[lunar hare]

some talents have to be on your primary like Killer

[dire grotto]

it's an exotic, I feel like it should

wait what?

does it turn off my first perk?

ahh okay, for some reason it stopped proccing Determined

either way, this thing definitely should allow you to combine different weapon types, so long as that talent can roll on both

Determined and Preservation

so you're not pigeon-holed into running two of the same weapon type?

[lunar hare]

you are or else it would be op

[dire grotto]

I mean it's not as OP as just running Determined Handbasket and Turmoil

[undone timber]

turmoil is far from op😭

[dire grotto]

I mean I was one-tap double killing everything in that Master mission lmao

[undone timber]

with reanimated on yes

without it turmoil is extremely annoying to stack with

[lunar hare]

take off Reanimated and you'll struggle

[dire grotto]

dang, really?
why is that?

[undone timber]

because turmoil splits your shot damage in half lol

[dire grotto]

gawd, I just thought that it was a good combo

[lunar hare]

with Reanimated it is, without it's trash

[undone timber]

with reanimated on you can run all grey gear with a chainkiller and gold magnum and still one shot everything

its a really busted event

the only legit use i can think of for it is lovebirds in the incursion

[dire grotto]

and here I thought I finally got a good sniper build....

Handbasket still alright as an alternative?

[undone timber]

it works in group settings too but you just have to worry about dropping stacks

[undone timber]

if youre still hitting the breakpoints you need then yeah its good

[dire grotto]

I play solo 99.999% of the time lol

but I have both, so that's alright

it certainly beats my Nemesis build
I love Nemesis, but it needs some help

I was a monster in DZ with it

nailing mfs for 50 million in the head

I don't do PvP anymore though, no real reason to do it

yeah, that's what I've found too
I just love the aesthetics of Nemesis

I tried mixing things up with an Eclipse Protocol "sniper" build
99% of that build is just EP, the Vile, and a sticky bomb, so I just used Spike on an MMR to apply the buff

it made me feel like I was still a sniper lmao
even though my gun does almost no damage

I'm just glad that my EP build can pump out 500k damage burn tics
it's the only thing that makes me not feel useless with it lol

as long as I get a bomb off, everything dies

I'm considering swapping out my Electrique gloves for Snow Machine, just so I can make it a White Phosphorous style

lmaooo god it does kinda look like white phosphorous a bit

[dapper belfry]

Hi I went back to Washington DC and my stronghold saying restricted

Any clue why ?

[lunar hare]

does it say Invaded?

[dapper belfry]

No

Just restricted I think

[dapper belfry]

Do you want me dm you the photo of what it said

[lunar hare]

#ask-td2-community <- here

[dapper belfry]

Did it

Welp

[sterile ferry]

So did we figure out how to spawn the hunter the legit way in the new mastery mission?

[merry sphinx]

Nope.

I won't go into details, but literally everything points to a missing trigger or sequence.

[quick wolf]

Is there anything to defend on the Master Space Administration mission? Or can I actually have fun with the Global Event?

[iron adder]

No

[quick wolf]

Great.

[sterile ferry]

But a dev said its not a bug and to git gud 🫩

[merry sphinx]

And removed the tweet shortly after.

[sterile ferry]

Ahh lmao

[merry sphinx]

Palle never mentioned whether he did it recently or weeks ago, or if it was on a dev build or the live build we're currently playing. There are a lot of things no one asked him to clarify.

[sterile ferry]

Im just glad we finally got a mastery mission that doesnt have so many goddamn turrets at the beginning 😂

[merry sphinx]

That's exactly what I found strange. Not the turrets per se, but the generators. They reused the generators from IH, but this is the only Climax mission where we don't need to shoot them. What if they just forgot to replace the static props with destroyable ones, lol…

[sterile ferry]

It was starting to get repetitive, glad they changed it up

[toxic musk]

Despite this. I have on more than one occasion ran inadvertently into the bullets of the ONE....well, is that a turret at that point?

[merry sphinx]

At some point, I started to believe that it's now an essential feature of all Climax missions.

[toxic musk]

Five. Hundred. Turrets

[merry sphinx]

Or maybe yeah, why having small turrets when we now have THE AVENGER!

[toxic musk]

Why don't we steal it

Between the one at the Capitol and the one in that mission, all I'm saying...

Slap it on the Black Tusk thingy that we have as a trophy

Bing bang boom. Solid defences, that aren't us. For once

[sterile ferry]

Yeah white house could use the upgrade. You never know when black tusk is gonna drop yet another razorback

[hybrid ore]

"try it again, it's gotta work a 2nd time" - the same BT who organises the same Invaded Missions every week.

[toxic musk]

"They surely won't expect us to do the same thing we did last week" - John Tusk

[mighty girder]

I find it comedic that more people haven't started defecting considering how we constantly and consistently thwart the plans of every faction in the game and also massacre their units

[toxic musk]

Pride is a dangerous thing, although. Yeah, given how many times we lightly slap them and say "No. Stop doing thing" you would really just give up

[mighty girder]

Those people truly have some really unshakable beliefs to stick to a faction that consistently fails and loses hundreds of units to 1-4 Division agents

[toxic musk]

To be fair. The other Division Agents get laid out, so I can understand some of their ambitions, that being said. We're lore accurate Division Agents

Anywhom, I am going to nap. It would be so awesome, it would be so cool. If there was a new hoodie in the store later

[wispy dock]

We should be able to eat Mac N Cheese in this game.

[graceful dove]

what's more likely to succeed?
a carefully laid plan to [insert mission objective here]
a few mute psychopaths

[toxic musk]

I sensed something so beyond real and returned temporarily

[toxic musk]

We're not psychopaths, please. We're just really good at getting things done, and being creepy

[wispy dock]

I killed over 100 people for a shiny new gun.

[pliant sentinel]

yall doing it for the country im doing it for shiny loot we are not the same

[wispy dock]

I was gunned down by 2 elite true sons turrets.

[quick wolf]

That's rough buddy.

[wispy dock]

It hurt.

[quick wolf]

I would imagine it did.

[wispy dock]

It reminded me of the demon babies in dead space 2 shooting at me.

[pliant sentinel]

with turmoil one turret can take down two engineers

[wispy dock]

I don’t have turmoil yet.

[hybrid ore]

Sounds like you're in....turmoil.

[pliant sentinel]

hello rivens

[wispy dock]

I hear crickets outside my home.

[pliant sentinel]

i think thats the skinwalkers approaching ur abode

[wispy dock]

They will make a nice late night snack then.

I am hungry.

[pliant sentinel]

fried skinwalker meat and skin tag stew

[wispy dock]

Sounds edible.

My dog is meowing.

[pliant sentinel]

btw rivens i wanted to ask u something but i forgor

[wispy dock]

You should probably remember it then if you forgot.

[quick wolf]

Yeah, sounds important.

[alpine root]

guiz, why is jefferson plaza not counting for my objective of the hvt 1 on clearing ?

do i have to do it heroic

[edgy fable]

Hard or above

[lunar hare]

no, it says any

[alpine root]

apparently this was a lie

just did jefferson on challenging, still doesnt count

[lunar hare]

do u have the scout on? lol

[alpine root]

yea

[lunar hare]

double check just in case

[alpine root]

i have it as track on screen

and just finished the first obj and went straight to jefferson

[lunar hare]

restart or relog maybe idk

[alpine root]

bet

[coral nacelle]

How do you kill this stupid hound on coney island.

Its immune to decoys, lobs grenades like Kobe. This is straight dumb.

[mighty girder]

sticky emp

[alpine root]

shoot the ass

[coral nacelle]

Makes me want to uninstall the trash game for idiotic fights like this.

I cant get behind it. Its up my ass 24/7.

[lunar hare]

sticky emp then shoot its legs

[alpine root]

kiss it lol

but yea shoot the red spot on the leg should stun it for some time

[coral nacelle]

I dont even have that, so I guess Ill try damn emp trap i guess

[alpine root]

shoot leg, probably ur best solution

[lunar hare]

shoot its weakpoints then

[mighty girder]

i remember when i did it i emp'd the main hound, killed off the two(?) purple warhounds, and then ran for my life until my sticky emp left cooldown so i could emp the hound again

[coral nacelle]

This is the dumbest fight ever. Lv100 Summit makes more sense than this crap.

[hybrid ore]

@coral nacelle Take a chill, there's no need to get this angry.

[pliant sentinel]

no ruin hunter outfit, life is not worth living

[merry sphinx]

Who said there's gonna be any outfit? It's just a mask.

Even if they decide to do it one day, it'd take a ton of work to get the robotic arm working properly with all those animations and stuff.

[pliant sentinel]

screen time does look good tho

[edgy fable]

Some Ant Man helmet, c'mon

Is that really the only new entry in the store this week?

[coral nacelle]

I just dont see how this fight makes any sense. You cant turn long enough to shoot the thing. I spent 2 damn hours before I killed it on a technicality of it just deciding to stop moving. Tried Refactor, Striker, Hunters and ultimately got lucky I had striker on. Just completely ruins my mood.

[merry sphinx]

Probably we'll see something on Thursday as well.

[pliant sentinel]

yup

[edgy fable]

Would be nice. Otherwise another week where I save money

[merry sphinx]

At least, Valentine's bundles expire on Thursday.

[merry sphinx]

I'm just hibernating and casually waiting for April Fools, hoping they'll add the Dino outfit.

[edgy fable]

Ngl I might get that even... Waiting for Agent Yeong-Ja outfit to make a return. And last year's Easter outfit, forgot the name

Something with Rabbit I think it was

[pliant sentinel]

yeong-ja still my fav outfit in the whole game

rabbit fire

[edgy fable]

Yes, that one. Thx

[merry sphinx]

I'm seriously thinking about spending 15 on Abattoir... Not even sure I'll ever use the Sheriff since it's worse than the Brazen M870, but still. It looks badass, and I might end up using it just for the fun VFX.

[edgy fable]

Looks like straight out of Mad Max for me; not my thing

[pliant sentinel]

i thought it was a dead island weapon

[merry sphinx]

Yeah... imagine that paired with Beating Heart outfit, lol.

[edgy fable]

Nahhh thank you 😄

[merry sphinx]

But I agree with ChickenRice, it's Dead Island-ish to me as well.

[edgy fable]

Yeah somewhat improvised, Dead Island fits too

[merry sphinx]

Good thing that exo skins are not fomo, so you can get them any time basically.

So I have some time to think whether I really want it.

[edgy fable]

Yup

Shop rotations suck. They could think about implementing a voting system for the community - Present three sets or so and the community has a week to vote for one of them to appear in the shop. I don't get this rotation at all

[pliant sentinel]

eh, why isnt the prestige cache rewarding me anymore cosmetics, no way i completed all

[edgy fable]

There aren't that many

[pliant sentinel]

oh fr

then i'll try my luck w regulus or ravanous then

[edgy fable]

General Anderson Outfit – 2 pieces.
Green Tracksuit Outfit – 3 pieces.
Arm Patches – 4 pieces.
Weapon Skins – 2 pieces.

[pliant sentinel]

oh fr thank you, i'll just farm for mutinies

[edgy fable]

Np. Btw the General Anderson jacket comes from the climax mission I believe

Pants and shoes are part of the Mutiny pool

[median crescent]

I bought the Chinese New Year outfit because FOMO got me.

Gong xi fa cai

[vale mauve]

When does the vendors update?

[merry sphinx]

<t:1771920000:t>.

[onyx peak]

I'm kinda disappointed that you can only play with past seasonal modifiers at their climax missions

[toxic musk]

Given The Pact™ is gone. God, I hope Outcasts are soon to follow

Anyway, no new hoodie. Shame

[sterile ferry]

Yeah haven't we wiped out outcasts and hyenas at this point?

[opal marsh]

Just checking as it's been a week, but has anyone found any leads on the intended way to get the Ruin mask without Turmoil?

I'm curious to what the next season is gonna be like. We've barely heard anything in regards to it so far 🤔

[merry sphinx]

No.

#td2-general-chat message

[opal marsh]

Damn, they really hid it well then

[merry sphinx]

No, it's just broken.

[opal marsh]

oh
lol

Div 2 Moment

Welp, guess I'll wait for the patch then
I wanna get it the intended way

[merry sphinx]

Like, don't get me wrong but all of us who spent literally countless hours there over the week are 95% sure it's broken. It just can't be any other way.

[opal marsh]

I only spent a couple hours messing around with the first half on master while looking for anything too, but same

[merry sphinx]

I'd do it now if I were you, because once the GE ends, it's gonna be a hell of a task. Who even knows if the next update will change anything or not.

[opal marsh]

Fair point

[merry sphinx]

I won't lie if I say that we probably spent over 60+ hours there over the past week.

[opal marsh]

Putting in work, damn 😭

I kinda wish the devs would at least let us know if it's actually bugged or not
Would save a lot of people a lot of time searching

[merry sphinx]

Maybe on a dev stream this or next week.

[opal marsh]

True

The Mutiny season ends a week from now, so there will probably be a stream within the next few days I presume

Anyways, I am glad that the devs are adding fun little secrets to the climax missions like this

The Theo mission duck mask was a cute little thing to do

I always find stuff like this fun, even if it is a pain

[cyan grove]

Expertises Model 1886 to 30 thinking I was able to change talent. It has Determined already, but am I cooked lol?

[buoyant dove]

guys how rare are the turmoil kneepads, cos i just got them from my first stretch goals cache....

[ember gale]

just to ask, has anyone experienced severe lag/desync in the game these days?

[clever moss]

They’ve increased drop chances of those, I’ve gone roughly pairs the last three season goals now

[merry sphinx]

They have not this time. They had increased chances during previous stretch goals tho.

[clever moss]

I meant it more so of a feels like but most definitely. I still gotta stack out some more caches myself. double xp is gonna be fun

[merry sphinx]

You mean, you cannot change the talent?

[cyan grove]

😓 I honestly didn’t double check thinking I was able to change talent.

I’m a dummy 😭

[merry sphinx]

Well, I can relate... My only 30-grade DTOC 1886 has Determined on it as well. And I can't reroll the talent because I rolled DTOC a while ago. Have no idea what I was thinking back then…

[tender wave]

Expertising something shouldn't block you from changing talent, only thing that does that is recalibrating a different stat

[cyan grove]

Literally me 😓

[cyan grove]

I changed stat very very long ago to DTOC and thought I changed talent. When I finished getting it to 30, I checked and talent was locked lol.

[tender wave]

Yeah that'll do it

[merry sphinx]

Yeah, that sucks. Now I need another 1886. At least I've got almost unlimited materials, so I can exp-30 it again without any issues.

[cyan grove]

Nice! Any tips for material farming? I didn’t take advantage of muling.

[merry sphinx]

Uhhhhhhhhhh. I don't know tbh. 😂
Just do Control Points or whatever gives you materials. You can also just level up and use your watch points to get resources... However, crafting is still cheaper iirc.

Speaking of crafting... I forgot to buy Yaahl Gear from the clan vendor last week. rip 💀

[iron adder]

Same 💀

I wanted to craft a crit hollowman

[merry sphinx]

Yeah, same.

[iron adder]

🫂

[merry sphinx]

Welp, it seems we'll have to farm warhounds for it.

[iron adder]

Man I wish this manhunt was more difficult. The replay value doesn't seem to be on par with other master.

[merry sphinx]

Absolutely, the Pact one was much more difficult.

[iron adder]

Yeah that's @small spear 's favorite mission too

[cold narwhal]

Play solo? Idk if it’s difficult so much as stressful and annoying though 😂

[iron adder]

Already done

[vale mauve]

Is the bittersweet only accessible through the season stretch goals? Or can I just farm CD on rifles?

[kind veldt]

only season track i think, it's going to become a regular exotic drop when the season ends

[unique bramble]

An unpopular opinion of mine: exodus gloves are more useful than overdogs on striker build.

[kind veldt]

eh... it's like unbreakable chest, nobody going to say it's a bad talent, people jsut get obsessed with damage

[solar geyser]

Why RNGesus hates me 😭😭

[tender peak]

On Journey Mission 6 currently but grinding a hardcore character.

For "Level Up Quickfix" is it better to just go into a non-hardcore character, use grenades and let them just pick you back up? Any other quick ways to get it done?

[grave timber]

Whew one week of helping people thur master Anderson done

My last one was crazy

2 directives on fog and special ammo 3 man with a interesting bug or glitch

Two companions at the same time it was basically 5 man

And we passed it

[grave timber]

Yes

[lapis rock]

Wanna help me get the Hunter mask?

[grave timber]

I don't how to do it

Not everyone has a headshot build

[lapis rock]

Haha yea me neither

My game just crashed during a Stronghold but when I rebooted the game it started me right back where I had left off before I crashed
Is this a new fix? I swear I have always had to restart the mission after any crash

[kind veldt]

depends a lot

[lapis rock]

So this doesnt always happen

[lapis rock]

Its reanimation every build is a headshot build 😂

[grave timber]

Not all of them

[cinder nacelle]

Can anyone explain this Turmoil kneepad to me? I just don't get why this Bewildered talent would be worth having...

[kind veldt]

if you can do a really big amount of damage then instead of extra damage being wasted, you get to kill multiple enemies faster

[tender wave]

#lfg-pc would be the place to ask if you're on PC

[cinder nacelle]

Ooh... so if you're doing overkill... I see. But I guess you need to be one-shotting enemies for it have a purpose otherwise you're just slowing down killing the enemy you're firing at.

[kind veldt]

so two of the strongest builds like determined/hotshot and strikers can make the most out of it

[unique bramble]

That's why it's used on HHs

[lapis rock]

Just add Chainkiller to your build and boom, headshot build lol

[zinc lichen]

so we are all progging a hardcore character to lvl 1000 and killing people in the dz right

[lapis rock]

I was more making a joke because he had just been doing the mission all week haha

[unique bramble]

Wrong timeline

[grave timber]

Then you do it find a group or make one and get the mask

[kind veldt]

well dont like DZ and dont like hardcore characters

[zinc lichen]

wish the dz was just one big one like div1

[lapis rock]

It's all good man I was just joking about you helping me lol

[grave timber]

Sure you were

[zinc lichen]

worst decision ever made to make 3 but ubisoft is pretty good at bad decisions anyway

[tender wave]

Fair enough, hard to read tone in text!

[ebon parrot]

i cant' comprehend people dying in pve

[kind veldt]

they get hit

[unique bramble]

Elaborate please

[zinc lichen]

you only die if youre reckless most the time

[grave timber]

True

I can't tell you how many people I see going Rambo and boom dead

I once played with someone who died over 30 or 40 times in one mission

[zinc lichen]

like in countdown one guy always rushes the hunter and acts surprised he got 2 tapped on his full red striker build

[grave timber]

Legendary zoo like bruh

[unique bramble]

A good opportunity to show how good of a medic we are.

[grave timber]

Yup

Our tank spent more time reviveing him then anyone on the team

[ebon parrot]

i did heroic retal and the full team just dies, like how can you die in any difficult below legendary?

[mighty girder]

ive watched a non-zero number of foundry bulwark users in countdown run up to the hunter and get murdered instantly

[ebon parrot]

specially high level people not even beginners

[grave timber]

Yup

[unique bramble]

To be fair, retaliation usually gets you outnumbered.

[grave timber]

I seen a low lvl with a striker build and high lvl with a WTF build

[zinc lichen]

like that foundry heal isnt gonna make you immortal bud

[ebon parrot]

the amount of disability required, unless the person has some sort of down syndrome or something i literally can't comprehend

[tender wave]

High level isn't an indicator of game experience any more, seems a weirdly large number of players these days with 10k shd and no game sense

[grave timber]

Also who in the right mind puts fog of war in a Master mission

Not many people check everywhere in a mission

[tender wave]

People just leave it on by default all the time

[zinc lichen]

ive seen level 70s with better builds and more dps and kills then lvl 5ks

[undone timber]

Kenly college graduates iykyk

[grave timber]

Also if you one of those people who rages quits for dying a lot f u

[ebon parrot]

i dont mind rage quitters, i'll win alone anyways so they can leave lmao

[grave timber]

Yup

[mighty girder]

I find it kinda baffling how rare it is to see someone running full red striker in the wild

[grave timber]

As a veteran division player I seen it all

[mighty girder]

Or hell, literally any full red build in existence

[grave timber]

Yeah depending if in a group yes solo nope

Unless you like a challenge

[mighty girder]

This leads to funny scenarios where I have the lowest SHD level in a group but I deal the most damage

[zinc lichen]

everyone has a full red striker build though lets be honest

[grave timber]

Yup

It's the most easiest build to make and use

High DPS and rate of fire win win

[mighty girder]

I've seen too many blue core striker users

and then the accursed nbb

[zinc lichen]

i might make that shroud build i saw with turmoil that people use in that master mission

[unique bramble]

For me it's: striker only for Raid, Master and Legendary missions.

[grave timber]

Now if it was striker classified with the healing God tier

[grave timber]

Well that's because of backfire

[zinc lichen]

they need to add classifieds back

[grave timber]

Yup or incusion

[mighty girder]

I feel like backfire suffers the same problem as striker chest

[tender wave]

It'll be significantly less powerful once reanimated is over

[mighty girder]

It's not worth using unless the enemies are tanky enough

[grave timber]

Unfortunately

[zinc lichen]

i kinda just wanna use the turmoil kneepads ngl

[undone timber]

They're a lot worse than people give them credit for

[grave timber]

Turmoil is literally the best piece of gear we ever got

[unique bramble]

Exactly, why have a 200 stack talent meter if enemies die in less than 10 bullets.

[undone timber]

They just get hyped during reanimated because it's the one time it's actually good

[tender wave]

You can hotswap them in once you get your headhunter stacks up, but they make stack building from scratch a pain

[grave timber]

I use it in my sticker build to get my stacks fast

[mighty girder]

You also get to enjoy bleeding all over the place for no reason

[quick wolf]

God no. That would tank build diversity into the ground. Worst thing Division 1 did was add classifieds into the game. That's pretty much all people used.

[grave timber]

Everyone uses gear sets

[unique bramble]

I was referring to striker, not backfire

[tender wave]

I do run turmoil on a standard red striker build for solo heroic though, saves time aiming and enemies die fast enough even at half damage

[mighty girder]

Oh

[grave timber]

Hardly anyone use gold in d1

[undone timber]

It's very common in PvP

[mighty girder]

I haven't slept for like 20 hours so I blanked out and forgot backfire has 100 stacks not 200

[grave timber]

My man

[quick wolf]

Exactly the problem we want to avoid in D2.

[zinc lichen]

with the amount of stuff in div 2 i feel it wouldnt be that much of an issue ngl

[grave timber]

D2 at least every one use gold builds

I'm surprised their hasn't been a Livestream yet they usually have one when the master mission comes out

[quick wolf]

It would if everyone started running only gear sets because it would invalidate almost all brand sets at all when the 6p has to be stupidly strong to even compete with existing builds already.
It's just going to be a horrendous pain to balance and would harm the game rather than help, if you ask me. They're not worth adding to the game.

[kind veldt]

brands coexists more with gear sets than HE did in div1

[grave timber]

Yup

[inner elbow]

12/14 of my loadouts are gearsets lol

[kind veldt]

because div1 classified required 6 pieces and were just straight up upgrades in terms of stats

[mighty girder]

didn't classified sets let you recalibrate two attributes

[unique bramble]

Understandable, div was like: do you want this useless talent for this yellow gear? Or do you want this super powerful set with the same amount of attributes as a yellow whole build?

[mighty girder]

you get one classified piece and you're basically set for life

[grave timber]

Yup

It was fun abuse it to get high rolls if you knew the strat

[unique bramble]

Damn, I miss damage to elites and XP on kill.

[quick wolf]

That was because the rarity of classifieds necessitated it. Otherwise you'd never have the "perfect" classified build. But that was on release. Now classifieds are awarded like no tomorrow because Div 1 is on End of Life.

Devs don't really care much if you get 20 classified pieces a day if it's on a game they're no longer supporting.

[unique bramble]

It seems to be a standard of any game, the longer it exists, the easier it is to catch up with the veterans, Countdown, priority objectives and stretch goals are examples of that.

[quick wolf]

It's less so a standard and more of a strategic move from the devs, I'd say. They want your grind to be at the end game not the early or mid. They want you to move from that beginner space ASAP because they know the real fun is at endgame.
They don't have those catch-up features because the game's been out a while, I think. For Div 2 at least, there's so much content to do do at Lv. 40 that the devs want you there quick so you can play with that many more people.

Though you are right in a sense. Many older titles will definitely employ those catch up events so that people aren't left behind, but that's usually because even the vets continuously get stronger. Like and MMO that keeps raising it's level cap.

[undone timber]

As busted and fun as they were classy stuff was not healthy

[alpine tiger]

When the resurgence released ?

[quick wolf]

I think I made my stance on it clear. They're a pain in the ass to balance, will likely overshadow a variety of builds (especially those which already have a niche), and don't offer anything meaningfully different from builds that already exist.
Using resources to develop something that harms the game more than it helps? It just isn't worth the hassle.

[scenic garnet]

if i make overdog gloves will it increase the drop chance for them from my loot pool caches?

[undone timber]

Drop chances for items are all equal

[quick wolf]

What do you mean? Like... crafting Overdogs to increase the drop chance? That's not a thing that exists.

[undone timber]

Excluding things like bonus drops and whatnot

[scenic garnet]

wasnt sire if they were like other exotics once you get them they are added to your loot pool

[undone timber]

They're always in your pool

The only ones that aren't off the bat are current season pass exotics you don't have, project exotics you don't have and exclusives

[scenic garnet]

ok pretty new agent was curious thanks for the responses

[quick wolf]

Early in the game's cycle, yes, you need to have "earned" earned the Exotic first before it was added to the loot pool or exotic caches, but I don't think it works that way anymore.

But my memory on the specifics is hazy.

[scenic garnet]

lot of new stuff to soak in

[quick wolf]

I can't remember if like... I needed to buy the reconfigure BP or just picked it up once or whatever else. I don't remember how it worked.

For example, if you didn't do that whole project thing for the DCH or Chatterbox, I don't think you could have gotten if from Exotic Caches.

People would just bypass that by doing Summit when Countdown didn't exist and hope someone else in the group would get the drop and just share it.

[cinder nacelle]

So, Federal Triangle is invaded and there are no Hyena activities there. Anyone know how I can do this Manhunt objective?

God, this Manhunt is just the worst.

[unique bramble]

complete the invaded missions

[remote pecan]

didn't they change it to judiciary square?

[cinder nacelle]

Wait really? Okay I'll try that then.

[remote pecan]

I think I saw a comment, let me check it, before I say something wrong

yep, Judiciary Square for Scout 8 Objective 2 @cinder nacelle

[cinder nacelle]

Yeah that worked. Thanks. 👍

[tawdry bramble]

started battle for brooklyn 🫡 new map looks fun

always into new maps but I just wanna go to like LA or france or something

[queen lodge]

I spend more time logging in and out than playing

[tranquil pumice]

can someone open event chests with me? i cant get the fkng lexington 🥲

[mental snow]

Hi guys, can I still finish the Manhunt? When does it end?
I'm at week 5 / 12
Just came back to the game like a week ago

[glass flare]

What’s this weeks legendary project?

[glass flare]

Yes. You got plenty of time (assuming you can find supply drops in east mall lol)

[kind veldt]

think we have one more week or two max

[cyan kindle]

Anyone on PlayStation or other platforms unable to connect?

Oh nevermind it fixed itself

[toxic musk]

I think I am of 2 minds with the companions, half of me will genuinely miss their presence, the other half is yelling at them to go where I point them to

[steady mist]

Am I correct to assume that swap speed effects the speed you switch to that weapon?

Or is is both ways too and from that weapon?

[toxic musk]

I'd imagine it's to that weapon only, although I may be wrong

[steady mist]

From what Im reading elsewhere it only effects the portion of the swap animation that has that gun specifically. So if switch to it the second half faster and if switching from the first half.

Really not seeing any benifit to having swap speed on my quickstep. The swap speed seems the same for other pistols without that stat

[cinder nacelle]

I feel like, odds are they will be back. Otherwise it seems like a hell of a lot of dev effort for a one season mechanic.

[steady mist]

Is there a way to switch weapons in the stats menu? I can be holding my pistol or secondary but when im in that menu its only for my primary

[fading tide]

Ladys and gentleman my ah going back to divison 2 divison 1 has whoop me into submission

[chrome glen]

Hello, need a little help with the Mutiny stuff, looking at one of the Priority missions its telling me i need to complete "Tidal Basin" on any difficulty,
what is that? it tells me its a main mission but i can't find it on the map

[steady mist]

south of the map in the middlish

[toxic musk]

I believe in the stats menu you can press your swap weapon button to get the stats

Although. I don't recall if it goes to your pistol. Sorry

Oh. It does

[steady mist]

On PC the swap buttons are 1-4 or scroll wheel

I see it now. It was sitting on the weapon to the side

G on PC

[fading tide]

Fills good to be back in division 2 . Godsoeed divison

[chrome glen]

I'm not seeing it i have a few main missions but they're not the one im looking for, is it locked behind further progression into the main story?

[lunar hare]

What lvl are you?

[chrome glen]

32

[steady mist]

Thats why

[chrome glen]

am i way too low level to be doing Mutiny?

[steady mist]

No just Black tusk dont invade til 40

[chrome glen]

Black what?

[steady mist]

The last faction. Spoiler alert

[chrome glen]

damn shame im getting into the game so late, fomo hitting real bad right now aha

[steady mist]

Next season will have some great stuff i bet

[heady field]

Anyone need/want a healer? Down for anything

[chrome glen]

are there still low levels playing or are you all super high level by now?

[zinc lichen]

making a headshot build just to realise I never got headshot dmg attributes.

[fading tide]

We survived

[steady mist]

Im SHD 1060 right now but I was SHD 250 only a few weeks ago

[chrome glen]

still haven't figure out builds yet, just to dump damage XD

SHD being what i am at 32?

[steady mist]

Wont really need builds until that type of gear drops

SHD being your lvl after 40

[chrome glen]

ah okay, i feel like im overcomplicating this for myslef already aha

[steady mist]

Just focus on the story and get to 40. Then find some builds you think you'll like and use the targeted loot to find those pieces

[zinc lichen]

its really easy to level up i find now

[chrome glen]

targeted loot?

[zinc lichen]

it matters later dont worry now

[steady mist]

There will be a button on the map to press. It shows an overlay of what loot is going to drop in each district/mission/mode

[lunar hare]

you'll find out later

[chrome glen]

roger

[lunar hare]

stop, let them progress first

[steady mist]

His head is gonna spin from too much information

[pastel olive]

I started a few weeks ago and am having fun :3

[fading tide]

After playing div 1 one for the past week division 2 has the better gameplay hands down . And level design . But division 1 is dope to say then least like dark souls of division

[pastel olive]

Currently shd 200 o7

[chrome glen]

just hoping to find people around my level to progress with, if its easy to do so in this game, also is the dark zone hella sweaty now? i remember i was pretty good at it when i played on PS years ago but im so far behind everyone now i feel like im just gonna get dumpsterd every time

[fading tide]

Is is true that div 2 has a extraction shooter inside the game. I hurd myth about it

Can someone tell if the myth is real

[chrome glen]

is that not just DZ?

[steady mist]

You mean the DZ?

You do extract loot you find in the DZ from there but you dont lose anything else if you die.

[fading tide]

What level you recommend for dz

[steady mist]

I dont. Unless you like glitched automatic snipers

[lunar hare]

shd 1000+ is where all the spawn campers and cheaters are

[fading tide]

Lol

[steady mist]

They just kill you for the lols too. You could have nothing

[fading tide]

I never understood cheaters for 1 there the scum of the earth there the worst of the worst. For 2nd how the hell do you get a rush from cutting a connection and making a game last 30 sec and winning. For 3rd there lent lickers

[glass flare]

What’s this weeks legendary mission?

[heady field]

is everyone just bad at div2? everyone just plays like they are horrible at the game even with thousands of SHD lvl

[steady mist]

You can toss balls around for years and never be good at juggling. SHD doesnt equate to skill

[heady field]

im very aware lol just stating what im seeing. level in anygame doesnt correlate to "skill"

people play like such pussies in legendaries. without fail its like every random matchmake i do people are the same

[steady mist]

Those guys probably never had to work for their SHD lvls. Always run in groups and get carried

using exploits during events to get thousands of lvls

[heady field]

i only play healer for the most part cuz i got no reliable tank/dps char. and just sitting back and watching people kill npcs is hard to watch

[steady mist]

At least you play a role. Of lot of people just tag along with whatever.

[astral jacinth]

Anniversary season is going to start next week right? what is it going to entail?

[heady field]

just sucks the only thing div 2 has going for it is the pve.

[chrome glen]

I beg your pardon...

[steady mist]

People have glitched snipers that shoot full auto

[echo cloud]

does anyone happen to have a spreadsheet for expertise tracking to share? ;)

[steady mist]

I just mark stuff as junk and check the library and donate junk to expertise and scrap the rest. You get progress

[echo cloud]

okay, whats that got to do with what i asked?

[fading tide]

Thete some really cool design for the level mission in div 2

[tender wave]

what exactly are you trying to track with regards to expertise?

[echo cloud]

everything, how far i am in each thing. basically a similar version of the ingame library, but one that isnt designed by the UI guy at massive

i can make it myself, but i thought id ask in case someone already made a template

[true remnant]

whats the fastest way to rank up season pass?

[echo cloud]

press matchmake -> random heroic -> go

[true remnant]

i wanna farm lexington im 113 season pass currently

[steady mist]

Priority mission strongholds if you can run them fast enough

[true remnant]

alright thanks

[steady mist]

I got good progress when I was just grinding sinkhole. If you have your clears down to 2 minutes you can get 8 clears in 16 minutes. But thats only as much as a single stronghold not priority.

[dark sand]

Anotha day anotha grind

[rain lynx]

can spam mule char and doo weekly shd donation project you can make 2 season lvls now with xp boost in 5 mins

[chrome glen]

That's disgusting, also apologies for the late reply, playing the game so i didn't see the message

also is it possible to get primary suppressors, not able to craft one yet

[rain lynx]

full auto snipe thats not glich thats just hack with rapid fire

[kind veldt]

you either get from side missions or blueprint from control points

[pastel olive]

Haha i haven’t touched DZ, I imagine most of the people playing it have years of experience on me

[steady mist]

On top of the snipers people are using the tinkerer glitch to stack a bunch of talents

[kind veldt]

DZ is not a great place for new players even if it has brackets

[chrome glen]

and im assuming UBisoft has just given up with actually managing the game so these players aren't actually gonna recieve and reprecussions for this

[pastel olive]

To my understanding they’re consistently releasing updates and new seasonal stuff 🤷🏻‍♂️

[chrome glen]

i mean from a banning cheaters perspective

[steady mist]

But as far as the cheating stuff they are barely doing anything. They still ban people but you can buy accounts and get back on in minutes

[pastel olive]

Ohh gotcha gotcha

[kind veldt]

report people in game or through support, honestly dont know much more than that

[chrome glen]

rather than just patch the glitch and remove the snipers from the cheaters accounts XD

[pastel olive]

Well if most of their money and player engagement comes from pve stuff (which is less negatively impacted by cheating) I imagine they aren’t too interested in devoting resources to banning people/developing a more robust anticheat

[chrome glen]

fair point

[pastel olive]

But who knows, they could be cooking smth in secret 👀

[kind veldt]

my muscle memory with sheriff is screwing me up

used to reloading after each kill since it's a shotgun

now thats a magazine shotgun i just stand there reloading more than i should

[chrome glen]

where can i post screenshots in this discord?

[lunar hare]

depends, #ask-td2-community for help or #td2-build-advice for build help

[kind veldt]

what kind

[chrome glen]

just in game, foudn something and i wanna make fun of Ubisoft for it

[lunar hare]

if it's just for sharing it might get deleted

[hybrid viper]

How does some folk doing 50M (No modifier on) headshot dmg with SR. I can barely hit half what they hitting

[chrome glen]

in the misssion you have to turn on a water fountain early on, a room full of valves you have to turn, non of the valves would actually do anything due to their placement and they're not even connecting properly XD

[kind veldt]

probably headhunter and other talents

[hybrid viper]

I mean im using that

Chainkiller, 4 hotshot

[tender wave]

is your Reanimated event active?

[hybrid viper]

Nope. Im trying to figure how come some manage to hit 40M+ without reanimated on

[pastel olive]

Who

[lunar hare]

I can only think of HHF and Hotdogs

[lunar hare]

3pc + Overdogs hits hard when you hit an enemy within its hierarchy

[iron adder]

This would be easier if you tell us where you've seen it

[obtuse flicker]

Is anyone else running into issues with the stretch goals not rewarding caches as you level up the pass?

[pastel olive]

Are you sure you’re leveling up the season pass and not your shd level

[obtuse flicker]

Yeah

Every time check the reward track the progress is different and doesn’t match the pass level

[pastel olive]

Can you send a screenshot of what you’re looking at in #ask-td2-community

[obtuse flicker]

Yeah thanks

[merry sphinx]

I think White Death can do that with Hotdogs, but not sure about SR-1 tbh.

However it depends on how Overdogs proc… Sometimes even Shroud with Hotdogs does something like 110mil per shot out of nowhere.

[lunar hare]

yup, as Taro said it would be easier if we knew where that happened

[lunar hare]

I've seen 70mil once and never again

[merry sphinx]

Well, it's not even Overdogs, it's HH double dipping with both of them. I believe it still hasn't been fixed that's why sometimes absolutely crazy numbers show up.

[vital aspen]

Does The Sherrif only comes with Reload Speed as Attribute or can I remodel to DTTOC?

[merry sphinx]

It's RNG and you can reconfigure it.

Just make sure you have Mosquito pistol in your stash.

[small spear]

overdogs and shroud multiply hh damage completely so you can get very high numbers

[merry sphinx]

But they are very random, that's the thing. I managed to hit 122mil once in the Open World but never again.

[small spear]

it's got to do with the combat state of the enemy

[lunar hare]

no one understand- nevermind

[small spear]

even then, it feels more consistent with shroud than overdogs

[merry sphinx]

I'm talking about only "in-combat" enemies, sir.

[small spear]

yes, i know. i mean that they're still inconsistent even when they're all in combat

i know that if an enemy is in combat with something but not you, they don't take the amp. but even sometimes when they notice you and are in combat with you, they don't take the amp either. i still don't know why.

case in point are the chungas in zoo bamboo. i hate shooting helmets and only getting like 20mil and not cracking them in groups. i've been going back more to the nemesis for this

chungas should've been tier 1 for shroud. yet their helmet damage doesn't take the amp sometimes, and takes it other times. i can't explain it

[merry sphinx]

Ah, right. I noticed that inconsistency with the "in-combat" and "out of combat" states as well.

[patent merlin]

I got off the game to get some groceries. Empty London streets at night reminded me of Division 2. Division game set in London would be awesome

[hybrid viper]

Dont we have already AC syndicate for that?

[patent merlin]

And watchdogs legion. I meant like post apocalyptic setting

[hybrid viper]

Oh and WD legions

[cinder nacelle]

What's the reward for this season's climax mission? I've just about had it with this manhunt and thinking of throwing in the towel...

[lunar hare]

Sheriff exotic

not that great, just a shotgun with extra steps

[cinder nacelle]

Oh it's an exotic... hmmm... 🤔

[tender wave]

OK, this is a new one: had navy plaza green (trying to spawn a hostage rescue for one of the scouts): spotted an incoming capture party so went to head them off, downed them all. Went and ran invaded DUA to clear the invasion, when I came out Navy Plaza was red, so I set off to recapture it. Get there and there's no enemies at all. Fire a flare and the civs arrive but still no sign of any enemies, and they won't actually capture it, it's still red. Very odd.

[lunar hare]

I noticed that it's not mandatory to have a district under our control for a Rescue Operation to spawn

[chrome glen]

How do i do the contaminated zones? im stood on the biohazazrd symbol but its not doing anything

[tender wave]

no but it definitely increases chances. Travelling away and back fixed the issue anyway

oh ffs, got one to spawn in the right area, excitedly ran off to do it, forgot to activate the correct week of my manhunt 😩

[slate lion]

Ive had that before and also no friendly assets available. Meaning you clear the cp and no friendlies appear. Solution vacate the area and it resets

[sonic portal]

How do I unlock the SHD Watch again? I'm trying to talk to the Quartermaster and nothing is happening

[wild hawk]

How to retireve the comm in Anderson mission, which is in the room on mission start? I cannot find a way to that room...

[wild hawk]

You have defeated Keener, right?

[tender wave]

doesn't matter if you've defeated keener any more, you just need to reach lvl 40

[tranquil pumice]

why is my main character getting 10% bonus season xp and my second character not??

[mighty girder]

your second character didn't enable seasonal modifiers

seasonal modifiers boost season xp by 10%

[chrome glen]

SHD tech caches dont respawn right? trying to fully clear parts of the map before moving to the next area and it feels like there is no end to them

[wild hawk]

no, they don't

[brave idol]

nope

[tranquil pumice]

thanks mate 🫡

[chrome glen]

okay thanks

[wild hawk]

AFAIR it's 5 per each region

[sonic portal]

Not on this character

[lunar hare]

that doesn't matter anymore

[sonic portal]

Then why can't I?

[lunar hare]

go with the quartermaster in the BoO

[wild hawk]

true that, Washington DC

[tender wave]

I don't know. How have you progressed the story so far - used any boosts? Completed the base story missions up to tidal basin?

[sonic portal]

I have tried to 5 times

[lunar hare]

relog

[sonic portal]

Still have story missions

[sonic portal]

I did

[wild hawk]

Capitol?

[sonic portal]

Next on our list

[wild hawk]

Capitol ends the basic story

[sonic portal]

And it should be available?

[wild hawk]

depends on what you have done so far

[sonic portal]

Nothing else

[wild hawk]

wait, you did no story at all?

[sonic portal]

No other missions besides main story

[wild hawk]

so Capitol is the climax mission of the main story

[sonic portal]

Ye

[wild hawk]

(until they added new ones 😉 )

[dire grotto]

I really hope Div 3 gives us more survivability options
the armor system is really starting to overstay its welcome, for me

Hotshot is the closest to what feels good, but it definitely needs to be iterated on further

[chrome glen]

Hit my first Milestone!

[hybrid viper]

How good is Provocator chest piece?

[jolly kettle]

Im afraid to get a lot of stack broker from mutiny cage so i dont want to claim those. But rest is ok. People say it not taking space in inventory but it does, facebook players say so and complain cause of not possible to deconstruct which i agree. Hope its possible to do something about stack broker shotgun.

[hybrid viper]

And more different meta. And some weapon type less obsolete. COUGH COUGH shotgun

[dire grotto]

100%
it was cool to have stuff be laser focused on specific buildcrafting
but hybrid builds really took a nosedive in Heroic+ content

there's just no room to effectively play with anything except a full 6 core investment
either you're a tank with terrible skills and no damage, a skill nerd with no health and no damage, or a DPS god with no health and no terrible skills

in irrelevent levels you can be two, or all three, but as soon as you step past Challenging, all of that goes out the window and you're now awful in all three regards

[lunar hare]

since when are shotguns "obsolete"?

[brave idol]

actually skills builds can do good unless there is strong hate like emp jammers

[hybrid viper]

Group up, Higher difficulty

[lunar hare]

HHF disagrees

[dire grotto]

imo shotguns need a game-feel/visual identity upgrade
they don't feel great to use
I want some chunky recoil to go with them, maybe some pellet particle effects

[hybrid viper]

I tried.I can barely kill with shotgun

[lunar hare]

You're probably not using it right

[hybrid viper]

Highly doubt it. Blasting enemy close range to proc up Pummel, Unstoppable force is that highly viable in group

[dire grotto]

how does one use a shotgun properly?
I've also felt like they do 0 damage most of the time

[iron adder]

How about you get off facebook and do one simple test, take one stackbroker from inventory into stash and then reverse. Check the item count in inventor/stash before/after.

[jolly kettle]

Ok i try 😉

[lunar hare]

HHF has none of these and it does amazing

[lunar hare]

I was referring to the build itself, HHF.
If you don't know how to play it correctly then you're not gonna make use of its full potential at all

[hybrid viper]

I am using HFF, Tink mas ans Badger tuff with Unstoppable force. So I dont have to constantly use banshee

[lunar hare]

That's not HHF.

[hybrid viper]

Hff we talking hunter fury?

[lunar hare]

I can already tell you don't know what HeadHunter's Fury is

[hybrid viper]

PHH Hf?

[dire grotto]

I don't know how to use one, so can you tell me?

[lunar hare]

HHF is easier and way shorter than that

[hybrid viper]

Hmmm I will try. As much I never like Shotgun’s Pellet spread even in Close range

[lunar hare]

It's not about the shotgun itself but the build

[pastel olive]

HHF mainly uses the regulus right

[lunar hare]

You can basically abuse melee bait and hit a headshot with your shotgun easily in a second

[dire grotto]

people keep telling me Scorpio is good, but I just can't get it to feel right

[lunar hare]

mainly yes, but it can also help killing a chunga by taking off his helmet in one shot and another to finish him off plus CC

[hybrid viper]

The talent is what make scorpio good mainly

[brave idol]

good at a pfe build

[lunar hare]

Its good in Support builds and for killing Hunters, outside of that it'll most likely not shine appropriately

[pastel olive]

More generally is HF good? I want to make a set but I’m missing key parts of the the HHF build ;-;

[lunar hare]

It's good as a Run&Gun build (crit based) with Backfire or shotguns in general

[pastel olive]

And does equalizer replace the ceska obliterate piece

[hybrid viper]

Hf with Chatterbox is one of kind

[pastel olive]

Haha I guess 4% really makes all the difference

[lunar hare]

4% TWD is a difference indeed

[dire grotto]

awww directives don't add to the seasonal XP increase?

[lunar hare]

Try Backfire, Memento, 4pc HF and Ceska Oblit/Glass/Intimidate and see which one you like most
Intimidate requires you to have bonus armor active to get it going (in this case from Memento's trophies)

[lunar hare]

just regular xp sadly

@hybrid viper I apologize for being a jerk earlier 🫠

[pastel olive]

Erm what happened to equalizer 🥺

[lunar hare]

Try it too, Backfire already gives tons of CHC

[pastel olive]

Fair

[hybrid viper]

Ahhh dont worry about it

[sonic portal]

I did the Capitol and it still isn't showing up

[hybrid viper]

[pastel olive]

Ill see what’s up, I just got some new shotguns I wanna try out 🙏

[pastel olive]

They’re trying to get the shd watch and can’t find it

[lunar hare]

KSG and M870 are good choices

[hybrid viper]

Ohh you lvl 40?

[sonic portal]

Mhm

[hybrid viper]

Ksg and M870 are very good Shotgun choice. Unless you like insanity using the Double barrel shotgun

[pastel olive]

Yerp I got a dttooc m870s 😤😤 gonna make it pummel

[lunar hare]

have you tried fiftys fun build?

[pastel olive]

Uhhh the what now

[lunar hare]

#td2-build-advice

[hybrid viper]

Kinda bummer the Perfect Pummel is on a SASG-12

[sonic portal]

Idk why it isn't showing up on this character...

[kind veldt]

try taking a screenshot of the zoomed out map to see if anything is weird and post on either #unofficial-troubleshooting or #ask-td2-community

[sonic portal]

[olive niche]

I think it's Snowing in my Division game poggers

[pastel olive]

Did you bring your division-issued shovel

[olive niche]

Imma just shoot the snow until it parts 🙂‍↕️
Or Incendiary Grenade

[pastel olive]

But think of your carbon footprint…

[olive niche]

Ur right. 🫢

[tranquil pumice]

is lexington locked behind something?? for real, im 260 in season pass and just get the same items again and again

[olive niche]

Luck, brother.

[pastel olive]

Rngesus has not blessed you

[plush cloak]

bro i have a cheater in my game rn

[olive niche]

Leave game, join another
Can't be cheaters every single time

[pastel olive]

Steal their taxes

[plush cloak]

2nd cheater ive run into on a PL run

[pastel olive]

What does cheating in div2 even look like

Invulnerability or smth

Oh I guess we’re not supposed to talk about it

[plush cloak]

where can i post a clip i can show you

[pastel olive]

Dm me

[olive niche]

I found my new favorite Rifle.

The 1886. 8 Round Pump Shotgun looking Rifle.
So good. Put my Victorian Camo on it.

[kind veldt]

Lever action, not pump

Cowboy rifle pretty much

[hybrid viper]

Sad the 1886 doesnt have sight

[olive niche]

Ah yeah that

[grave plinth]

My inventory is filling up with stock brokers that can't be sold or dismantled.

[pastel olive]

I think they don’t take up space

From your capacity

[quiet edge]

Guys am new in the game

Level 9

[hybrid viper]

Welcome New Agent

[median crescent]

Hello

[quiet edge]

Do i need to listen to the Echos?

Or just skip them

Hello guys

[hybrid viper]

If you want lore. Listen

If not just activate and skip

[quiet edge]

am just don’t wanna get bored of the game if everytime i skip them the game will be just shooting

[median crescent]

The game is just shooting.

[hybrid viper]

Then all the more good reason to listen to echoes. Otherwise most of time just hold the most important button

[quiet edge]

yes they didn’t focused on the story mode alot

[hybrid viper]

They do more than you think

[pastel olive]

A lot of the story is characters talking during missions, there are a few cutscenes at key moments tho

[median crescent]

Of the opinion that they lost the plot several years ago

But I generally am not looking for story in my looter shooter, I just need a valid enough reason for doing something

[hybrid viper]

As for the current statw rn.

DC Dynamic got shifted

[undone timber]

The story went off the rails a long time ago but the world building is nice

[hybrid viper]

Borderlands 3 thats how I felt

[undone timber]

Plenty of collectibles that tell you more

[median crescent]

I am happier not thinking about the story but doesn't do me any harm to let you guys all do it, I just wanna hold F on dead people.

[shrewd cosmos]

Has the legit non turmoil way to kill the first boss in the new manhunt been discovered yet?

[undone timber]

No

We suspect either bugged or something is missing

[hybrid viper]

Nah. Ever since the art director of Div2 bablling about it. (Was it the art director?)

[quiet edge]

Thanks for the infos guys

[shrewd cosmos]

Yeah, art guy boasting he did it legit with no details

[undone timber]

It was promptly deleted so take it how you will

[shrewd cosmos]

I take it that he used pastels to paint the new mask directly onto his monitor over his character

[hybrid viper]

Any other alternative gun beside white death? I always find the gun after your shot always kick to the left or right

[wispy dock]

Today I accidentally killed a bird in the game.

Wasn’t aware you could actually shoot the animals.

[quiet edge]

@animals_organisation

Your last warning of killing animals

[small spear]

🗣️

[hybrid viper]

My friend was in disbelief when he witnessed I once shot a dog in the game.

I was still learning the game back then

[edgy fable]

I wonder how many dogs died in Retaliations by player drones accidentally

[hybrid viper]

👀

Wait what?!

[edgy fable]

Your drone and turret go after animals in Retaliations

Think you lose two seconds per kill or so

[small spear]

just 1

[wispy dock]

Isn’t that PETA?

Do they even do anything anymore.

Sides the protests from time to time.

[pastel olive]

I think they do a lot of animal rights lobbying and investigative reporting

[toxic musk]

And the companions do, too. I think

[wispy dock]

So that explains the red X in the sky that one time.

My companion killed a freedom chicken.

[edgy fable]

Idk, what's a companion?

[toxic musk]

John True Son

[edgy fable]

I faintly remember but I have them disabled after dealing with the seasonal journey

[toxic musk]

Mmmm. Flying chicken for dinner

[wispy dock]

Is it edgy to dress up as a hunter?

[pastel olive]

I like having my lil friend follow me around :3

[toxic musk]

Well. Yes, but if you look cool enough it balances out

That being said. I'm trying to make an agile Hunter look

(using the Ruin mask, because of course)

[quiet edge]

Yes i will send them your ip @

[wispy dock]

See you in a few hours.

[quiet edge]

ok come am waiting

[toxic musk]

I yearn for the ability to put Hunter neck braces on with hoodies

[quiet edge]

[wispy dock]

You’re as much as a monster as I am.

You’ve slaughtered many humans in the game and yet you draw the line because of an animal?

[quiet edge]

I was jk ofc

[pastel olive]

Animals are pure, they aren’t burdened by human consciousness

[wispy dock]

I know but I’m bored.

[quiet edge]

Thoses humans were attacking innocent people anyway

[toxic musk]

I wonder how many animals died due to the Reanimated fart clouds

[wispy dock]

We gonna get the far cry 3 treatment.

To think graduating highschool wasn’t my greatest accomplishment for now

[quiet edge]

To think graduating university wasn’t my greatest accomplishment for now

[wispy dock]

👴🏻

[toxic musk]

I wonder when we'll learn what the gimmick of next season is

[wispy dock]

Dead space related.

[toxic musk]

I'll take it

[wispy dock]

I like dead space.

Probably my proudest moment I’ve gotten at this age.

[quiet edge]

I didn’t like it much

[wispy dock]

Which one.

There’s like 3, technically 4 if you count the remake.

[quiet edge]

I played the remake i think

Not my type of games

[wispy dock]

Fair.

[quiet edge]

Gn bro

See u

[wispy dock]

Goodnight to you as well.

[dry latch]

Can you get the matador from any way outside of the dark zone?

My friends saying it drops in countdown now

[torpid plume]

No

[dry latch]

I figured, but I’ve been wrong before

They selling for $60 a pop

[primal scaffold]

anybody on pc?

[dry latch]

I was like no fckn way people paying that for something in the general loot pool

[edgy fable]

It doesn't. But, there's still the Bloody Valentine's event going on - the mini warhounds can drop it.
Alternatively farm Descent or Retaliations and buy Reconstructed Caches to receive its blueprint so can craft it. (I would personally recommend that)

[dry latch]

🙏🏻 thank you

[edgy fable]

#lfg-pc

[olive niche]

I wish some armors Outfits werent full sets.

Like the "Rain Forest Uniform"

I would like it to be it's own Torso Piece instead of a full Outfit

[edgy fable]

You're not the only one with that opinion

[toxic musk]

Low-key. I think I dislike Retaliation

It's basically "oops. You're playing well, here. Capture these points that you already got"

[jagged maple]

there fun and good loot if your not trying to get a specific blueprint

[toxic musk]

cough cough (I high-key hate the Cleaners and Outcasts but that's a whole different issue)

[toxic musk]

Eh. I just feel like an option to not have Retaliations would've been nice, but I'm probably just brooding over the inconvenience of them

[brave idol]

Retaliation is my favorite content in this game despite its flaws

Loot is bad imho but gameplay is fun plus the bps

[undone timber]

I like them tbh

Plenty of stuff to kill, nice completion/kill squad rewards but the loot itself is whatever

[toxic musk]

I used to enjoy it, but now it's just something I have to knock out or else lose control points I already had, sure I could ignore it or concede the points, But meh, that feels like a cop out to me

I think it's just a me issue more than the game and I'm yelling into the void. I will say, it's odd having 3 or so leaders pop up, which I think is a glitch

[undone timber]

Nah it's intended

Not sure about other difficulties but on heroic you get 3-4 one of the two

[toxic musk]

On Heroic I was getting 3 per. I have chickened back to Challenging for now. Which feels better

[undone nebula]

Is division 2 survivor will be dlc or stand alone

[dire grotto]

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say Heroic Countdown is a complete waste of time? lmao

[vernal osprey]

I need that wright mask

[kind veldt]

arrived at lv200 and no ravenous once again

[kind veldt]

you get a bit more countdown credits if you are planning on buying caches, but otherwise just sticking to challenging is fine

[dire grotto]

That's what I figured, but I haven't successfully finished a Heroic Countdown yet, so it's just time blown down the toilet

[toxic musk]

Question for the aficionados. Is Bluescreen worth giving a go?

[kind veldt]

it's alright, using with low cooldown skills can let you stun and proc the talent more often

[toxic musk]

Worth swapping off Pestilence or nah?

Might as well have a whack with it at some point. Negotiators is still the go to, right?

[kind veldt]

works well for LMGs

[zinc lichen]

am i the only person who lowk hates doing retals?

[kind veldt]

i just find them okay

i'm just tired of regular control points

[toxic musk]

I don't hate them. I am not a fan of them, though

[zinc lichen]

like i would be doing a mission and then i gotta go do a like 20 minute 4 control point marathon jist to get a bloody knuckles blueprint

[toxic musk]

Ahhh, Bloody Knuckles my reviled

[patent merlin]

What are Ivory keys?

[kind veldt]

hunter keys

[pastel olive]

i got tinkerers thanks @small spear @sly tundra <33

[vernal osprey]

How hard would a flawless paradise lost be, I think I’m bored now and I want that mask

[dire grotto]

Playing my Eclipse Protocol build in solo Heroic really solidifies my opinion on this
it's rough out there, and there's really no reason why it has to be

I don't know if enemy damage needs to come down globally, or if we need more ways of generating armor in combat
but things can't stay this same way without the game just being dead

I think Div 1 handled it best
having a tiered health system that recovers in combat, but doesn't go past a tier without regen intervention

[sterile cedar]

EP is a support build. I love it but wouldn’t recommend using it while playing solo (imo)

[dire grotto]

It can definitely output damage with burn effects

[sterile cedar]

Try it in Countdown. I don’t see many others using it but it crushes there

[dire grotto]

But I think that also speaks to a design issue with the game
Entire gearsets shouldn't be only for group play. Everything should have solo value

[sterile cedar]

I run Vile, The Setup, Scorpio (obv). Either Fire or Foam chem/sticky and EMP jammer which smokes everything

[dire grotto]

That's what I run too

I don't have The Setup though, I just run the set backpack

[pastel olive]

Nah I disagree, allowing certain gearsets to thrive in group settings builds more clearly defined roles and gameplay styles that wouldn’t exist if everything was homogenized

[dire grotto]

I'm not saying everything needs to be homogenized, I'm saying that making a new gearset completely useless for solo players really feels awful

definitely let stuff thrive in group play, but being a solo player and watching a new set after set come out that I just can't do anything with is pretty crushing

That aside, EP's effectiveness doesn't really change how brutally punishing this game can be
where I have to sit at sniper ranges and pray that a single stray bullet doesn't shred 40% of my armor

and having pretty much every mission engagement or CP end where I'm fighting for my life because I've used every amor kit I can carry

[pastel olive]

It’s rough out there, that’s why you gotta kill them before they kill you #makingmymommaproud #blessup

[dire grotto]

that's definitely what it comes down to
the opening of a fight is something EP can easily dominate
but it usually involves trying to sneak around and avoid things as my skills come off CD

and again, even just a couple stray bullets strips all of my armor
it's just not a great way for the game to play, forcing people to dump 5-6 cores into Armor and then suffer every enemy being a bullet sponge because none of your skills or guns do anything

[sterile cedar]

You are using the wrong tool for the job tbh. The better players will usually run all red dps builds

[pastel olive]

You’re using 5-6 armors cores?

[dire grotto]

multiplayer feels incredible, especially if you have one of every general playstyle
a tank to soak up damage, a DPS to kill everything, a healer to keep everyone alive through damage, AOE, and DOT, and a skills player to handle crowd control
but as soon as one of those wheels falls off, everything grinds to a halt

[dire grotto]

I don't, but I feel like I need to most of the time

[dire grotto]

I totally get that, but I've been running full red DPS for 6+ years now, and it just gets boring after a while
there's so many cool skills and abilities, and none of them do a damn thing on red builds unless I'm counting a healer drone or scan drone

here's a seeker mine that does next to no damage
here's a healing chem launcher that will restore 30% of my armor over the next 4-5 business days

it feels like there's no point to the skills when I'm using a DPS build

it's why I wanted to try out EP, I can use skills effectively and have somewhat okay damage with Capacitor
it works really well, but it's such a squishy way to play

doing Hotshot stuff with a sniper build definitely fixes this, and it makes me hope Massive expands on that with a non-gearset build option
sort of like an artifact that has a similar effect, like soaking up damage with your armor giving a massive boost to your skill tier for a duration

[full zinc]

fire ep?
