[unreal depot]

Is there any info on the attachment stats in realism mode

[agile kettle]

seems like something wrong happened after update. skill damage and status damage dont show up on the screen. Things like a realism mode.

[jagged prism]

i can imagine a lot of realism mode bled into the actual gameplay aside the graphics update too

[unreal depot]

realism is weird

shields are ruining it for me atm lmao

[south dune]

Will there be another graphics upgrade or, at least, the PS5 version?

[jagged prism]

this update was to showcase the Realism Mode, so could be more in the future depending now the feedback they get for this one

[inner elbow]

The next update is to get a PC

[jagged prism]

would a steamdeck or rog ally count as a PC? 🤔

[south dune]

Why, if this is the only graphics update they're going to do, for me it's just not good enough at all… Many textures don't even load, or they load with a huge delay… The depth of field is the worst I've ever seen… To see an object sharp, if you're not 2 centimeters away, it looks really bad.

Im playing on ps5 pro

[jagged prism]

some pepole out there asked for this mode and it just affects the whole game

[jade dome]

Doesn’t really matter what you are playing on since this is still a ps4 game but I agree yesterday I was in open world and lot of the enemies were not fully loaded so they had like a box figure to them more then I seen before the update

[unique bramble]

do you guys know when a holywood movie takes place in mexico or south america, then they put that yellow filter to tell you how warm it is. 😂

[pliant sentinel]

does beeg alejandro have no chc mods

[jagged prism]

think people mentioned something about the mods. still haven't gotten one so can't say

[small vigil]

they had to balance the rpm somehow

[tender wave]

It has no listed mods of any kind

[pliant sentinel]

no sights no underbarrel (obviously)

[small vigil]

the base gun is literally busted and handles better than Elmo’s

[unreal depot]

it's so fun with striker

[jagged prism]

in another server someone mentioned it pairs well with Turmoil

[unreal depot]

i don't see how ngl

[small vigil]

I only use turmoil on a headhunter build so idk

[pliant sentinel]

"why is there TWO HOOPS WHEN I AIM THE GUN" me realizing its my prosthetic arm

[unreal depot]

turmoil works with anything high damage

also hard to judge guns atm cause ambush is so ridiculously busted

[jagged prism]

it's just what i read, so i have no clue 😹

[small vigil]

even without ambush we’re using it in iron horse speeds

the gun obliterates the pipes on aqueducts and williams’ turrets

[unreal depot]

what build?

[jagged prism]

probaly striker or tipping scales i'd imagine

[small vigil]

it’s like 3pc strikers with a petrov bag that has vigi, that’s all you rlly need

oh and centurion

[unreal depot]

man i'm too lazy to use centurion

[jagged prism]

i tend to lean forward when i play div 2 to gain extra concentration and focus the open my eyes wide as possible to see better

[shy yoke]

Did they ever give a reason why we can't level up our season pass in realism mode also there is an M60 at the food bank on realism mode if anyone's looking for lmg

[kind veldt]

Realism mode i think is separeted as much as possible to avoid issues

[jagged prism]

don't blame you. part of me wanted to make a full on weapon swapping talent build. centurion holster, gunsliger chest and whatever backpack talent that has the mechanic just to see how the damage fares 😹

[shy yoke]

I guess I'll never get another season pass mode done cuz I'm in love with realism mode about to make a hardcore character

[jagged prism]

probably should've but we got a realism mode settings in the setting for it that we can turn things off and on, but it somehow affects normal gameplay in some spectacular fashion

[unreal depot]

i'm so tempted to buy the bundle for the stash space

[tropic sentinel]

If you give in, they'll paywall even more slots.

[jagged prism]

slaps @unreal depot with a bundle of cash

[unreal depot]

owo

[small vigil]

I bought it for the tier skips to play the game less 🙂

[tropic sentinel]

You could uninstall for free.

[unreal depot]

gonna get that ugly mask on steam

for the points

[jagged prism]

the one for where people got it free in last seasons climax mission?

[unreal depot]

no, 20€ bundle

[jagged prism]

oh that. think i looked at it wondering and was like yeah not worth 20 and some 2k premium was it?

[unreal depot]

it's better than buying points directly yeah

if you need 20€ worth of them ofc

[jagged prism]

i'd be happy with the 2k premium to get 50 stash space for the lol

my hoarder blood is freezing up. need to hoard more 😹

[unreal depot]

the Alejandro skin that comes with it is kinda mid tho

[small vigil]

idk what ppl even keeping in their stash to need more space

[unreal depot]

everything

[small vigil]

mine’s been at like 40 items for a couple of years now

[unreal depot]

it's a disease

[jagged prism]

me it's usually junk of "i'll make a build of that some day" but some day never comes 😹

[unreal depot]

like yes i need every trash weapon with DTOOC

how is sh*tty censored bro 😭

[jagged prism]

you might be lucky with all them dtooc weapons. tweet said april we're getting revamped gears and weapons

just use the 💩 😹

[tropic sentinel]

If you don't use strikers 24/7. Play different content. Play raids with more elaborate strats etc. Inventory space get really tight. Add PVP, potential hardcore agents to that. RIP space.

[unreal depot]

and then i just end up playing striker lexi and lengmo pesti anyway

[jagged prism]

my mood depends what i play. lengmo pesti was up there today as i'm told the ambush GE makes it OP. had to test it myself. rarely got full pesti stacks 😹

[trim grotto]

serve off?

[mighty girder]

Hardcore mode has a separate stash and SHD watch

But I've seen people keep several copies of their loadouts to bounce back quickly from a death

[tropic sentinel]

It does, but HC agents take normal character slots, so less mules for normal.

[mighty girder]

Right

[unreal depot]

i never thought about using mules

[brazen nexus]

Whats the best vile mask build? best with pestilence?

[mighty girder]

no, pestilence effect is not considered a status effect

[tropic sentinel]

Vile mask is only good for burn builds, i.e. eclipse.

[brazen nexus]

any weps that do burn dmg now? Or is it purely through using the chem launcher thing

[mighty girder]

technically, iron lung can ignite enemies, but you're not dealing any damage by purely relying on that
there is also burn sticky

use what's in this link
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yTpZconNI79H0165-nwpLMIDZaS-f5Gd-WHQGAoQY2M/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.rtvptn4wfy

[brazen nexus]

ah kk thats my standard setup then, thx

[unreal depot]

where tf is the snitch

[pliant sentinel]

Washington dc

[tender wave]

Has a high chance to spawn whenever you get near one of his spots, once spawned goes on 30m cooldown before he'll respawn somewhere else. If you check a spot and he's not there you can just log off and on and check the same spot again.

[unreal depot]

is it fixed weekly or do i gotta check every location

[kind veldt]

it's random

like kettle said when you spawn game chekcs the nearest spot for him and usually spawn him there

[unreal depot]

i'm spamming the one near dz east

[tropic sentinel]

Check a spot just southwest from murican museum mission waypoint, if he's not there, mathcmake for bounty/freeroam exploration and check in other player's map. If not there, leave and check your map again. Etc.

Also other player might already have vendors marked.

[unreal depot]

idk why the devs love their RNG objectives so much

[tropic sentinel]

It's not like they sell anything useful anyway.

[unreal depot]

it's a journey objective

[tropic sentinel]

Oh rip.

[sharp imp]

Do anyone know why whenever I stream the game on Discord, the game just completely lags when I go through my interface/inventory in Division 2

[tender wave]

Honestly if he's not there after 3 or 4 tries, you probably accidentally spawned him somewhere else without noticing and now he's on cooldown

[haughty wharf]

There's also one right outside dz south 🤷

[unreal depot]

I went on another char and found him
But Cassie is closed now lmao

[unreal depot]

what's the cooldown

[tender wave]

^

[haughty wharf]

Space HQ and American history museum are where I get him most often

[haughty wharf]

Meant the hoarder(loot goblin)

[stable sand]

Realism mode at keener so broken to much delays 🤬

[stable sand]

And now he is stuck inside that building 🤮😵

[unreal depot]

The kestrel set is really cool damn

[subtle karma]

Is there a possibility of receiving a Lexington from the boxes we have right now?

[tender wave]

Nope

[subtle karma]

When will she come again, I wonder?

[unreal depot]

every end of the season stretch goals

[subtle karma]

ty

I apologize for asking, but are there any other ways to obtain it?

[undone timber]

No

[merry sphinx]

Nope. Stretch Goals and special events like the Winter one we had.

[jaunty haven]

man i cant go back to main game after realism mode 😢

[hard ridge]

You'd think that an "anniversary event" would warrant a pss that gives you EVERYTHING for free, but I guess at the end of the day it's ubigreed

[hard ridge]

a ghost recon wildlands type game but in new york / washington would be cool 🤯

[mossy arch]

is realism mode bugged af and have pooor stability?
got DCed 5 times during 1st mission and now it seems just broke

[jaunty haven]

as long as they bring along the HTI explosive rounds im good there...

[tropic sentinel]

It's anniversary for 10 years of mtx so.

[hard ridge]

🤣

[hybrid viper]

Hti had Explosihebround? I dont remember it had thay

Even though I gor to T1 using most of time with HTI, Crossbow or the 416

[sturdy parrot]

Is there a way to still get a quick step?

[kind veldt]

wasnt there a 10% bonus for season exp going around or i was crazy this entire time, not event pass bought

[kind veldt]

ask people in #lfg-pc for the bounty

[tender wave]

That was for having the seasonal modifiers active, now there are none

[hybrid viper]

Only 10% so you arent crazy

Wait…..

[kind veldt]

i could swear i had it yesterday

[tender wave]

Didn't play yesterday, but pretty sure I didn't have it on Tuesday, going by the stronghold priority objective rewards

[flat tundra]

what rewards do you actually recieve for completing realism?

[kind veldt]

2 weapon skins

one for police M4 and another for KSG shotgun

i'm sure someone has the screenshots saved

[flat tundra]

and if i were to complete it on harder dificulty same rewards?

[flat tundra]

thanks

[oblique arrow]

That it?

[flat tundra]

ok cool cos GCROCK said something about hardcore realism mode has its own rewards but didnt know what

[pastel olive]

Oh fr I thought the 10% bonus was from the valentines events

[hybrid viper]

2 cosmetic from what I seen somewhere

In progression in Realism Mode

[jaunty haven]

the HTI that instantly kills vehicles

[hybrid viper]

Yeah I know that.

I always used thay when I need to blow up a reinforcement Chopper or car

[jaunty haven]

EMP convoy, HTI chopper and lead vehicle 😼

[hybrid ore]

Ahem.

[stable sand]

Anyone knows where snitch location is ?👀

[merry sphinx]

It's random for everyone. There's a map of snitch locations out there.

[hybrid ore]

@stable sand If you go to the Space Admin mission, turn around directly the other way, then walk forward, you'll see a green triangle, then the ??? from a snitch appear.
If they're not there, relog and try again. It won't take long.

[stable sand]

Ty 👍

[hybrid ore]

I think at this point, it's fairly safe to talk about that one, it's not like it's an exploit, just farming a common spawn.

If I get told off for it, I'l shut up.

[merry sphinx]

For me NBA is a common spawn.

He's literally always there.

[hybrid ore]

A certain one near the DZ East used to be a 100% spawnrate for me, buuuuuut not so much anymore.

[fair citrus]

The charlie door? Thats still a 100% spawnrate for me lol

[merry sphinx]

Maybe worth putting a map here?

[fair citrus]

Been that forever

[hybrid ore]

I had terrible luck for it this week, 12 relogs and nada.

[unreal depot]

ok i was wrong the alejandro skin is very cool

[hybrid ore]

division2map.com is still the best resource for it

just go farm a cluster and voila!

[fair citrus]

if i relog in the white house and fast travel to the charlie door he's always there

[hybrid ore]

Getting too technical with how to get them to spawn feels less legit, let's keep it breezy.

[fair citrus]

Got it

[hybrid viper]

Usually i always check Snitch in Judiciary square by DZ charlie door i think

[midnight epoch]

Supposedly they spawn at the closest point to wherever you log in? So just check the closest spawn wherever you log?

[hybrid ore]

If you check the website I linked, you will see exactly how many spawn locations there are.

@silk thorn You're looking for #lfg-raid-pc, GL Agent

[outer meteor]

Hey all, does anyone know where to farm Hot shot set?

[midnight epoch]

Retaliation or Countdown Targeted Loot will be the fastest. You can probably get a whole set in 1 run of Retalation

[outer meteor]

oke thanks!

[atomic isle]

i started building this character builder for myself, but figured others could find it useful, id love any feedback or bug reports. It's a lot of data and specifics! https://shdintel.com/

[unreal depot]

Just found the only group that couldn't do heroic tidal holy shit

i wish you could leave a group but keep the mission progression

[wispy dock]

You should have used more gun.

[unreal depot]

i went pesti but they were all dead all the time

uncarryable

[wispy dock]

Damn.

Use more gun next time.

[unreal depot]

didn't ask for your opinion actually

[dire grotto]

lmao does anyone else have damage numbers turned on in their chat when playing realism mode?
it spoils how they got the time to kill down so fast

[kind veldt]

I mean if you open the inventory and check headshot damage

[unreal depot]

headshot damage: yes

[dire grotto]

hm?
I tried that, but my screen only shows the mag and RPM

[toxic musk]

Ahoy-hoy

[small spear]

if you turned it on in the normal mode, it stays on in realism

[dire grotto]

yeah lol

it's saying the urban MDR does 20+ million headshot damage
that's enough to kill just about anything in a single hit lmao

[mighty girder]

mod abuse

[hybrid ore]

Anyone else see that ghost? Weird.

[toxic musk]

AAAA, a ghost

[dire grotto]

I forgot how cryptic the Manhattan SHD tech puzzles were lmao

[toxic musk]

I'm gonna slap it

[dire grotto]

Ah now I understand why this puzzle made no sense, it's STILL bugged lmaooo

[edgy fable]

#td2-pvp-discussions

[dire grotto]

I would have hoped that Massive bugfixed Warlords a bit since it launched, but I guess that's asking for too much

[hybrid ore]

Which puzzle?

[dire grotto]

One of the Civic Center SHD tech underground
super simple, you just shoot an electrical panel to open a door, open a second one to spawna Cleaner heavy, and it drops the key to get to the SHD tech

boss just doesn't drop the key lmao

[spice jacinth]

Is there any way to get the quickstep pistol in the game at the moment?

[dire grotto]

LFG for people that have the Bloody Houndsman bounties still available

[kind veldt]

Ask for the bounty on #lfg-pc

[hybrid ore]

I seem to recall there being a work-around for that at one point.

[pastel olive]

I can help in a few hours if you can’t find anyone rn and you dm me for later

[dire grotto]

I tried relogging twice and it still won't drop the key

[tender wave]

The workaround was they moved the key to a keybox on the wall, but in realism mode you can't open the box

[dire grotto]

lmfaoo incredible

I love realism, but as I said before, one month isn't nearly enough time to enjoy this

[pseudo gale]

I've been playing the realism mode , but I only played the first division way back . I got the second one since it was cheap and got the ultimate pack but , is the main story better than realism mode?

[dire grotto]

I see no reason for it to just get scooped up out of the game in April

[hybrid ore]

@pseudo gale Realism Mode is a run-through of the Warlords of New York DLC, it's much shorter.

[pseudo gale]

I hope they add it full time not as 1 month as well

Ok I saw that I can jump to level 40 but is that worth it?

The game is fun though , I'm waiting for the next ghost recon 🙂

[dire grotto]

buying a LV 40 boost typically isn't, but if you have one, go for it

[pastel olive]

Probably a server stress thing or they’re still playing with the idea and are using this to collect feedback

[dire grotto]

if that means there's a realism mode coming to TD3 I'll lose my shit
I would love to play this for everything over the base game

[unreal depot]

no just play the game normally for your first time

[pseudo gale]

Did they graphics update go to the main part of the game or is that only in the realism part ? For PC

[dire grotto]

graphics update are in the main game too, you need to have Neutral Lighting turned off to see them, unfortunately

[pastel olive]

Everything

[pseudo gale]

Cool

Are there PVP Modes that I haven't seen in menu , or is it at a person in game in a safe room

[dire grotto]

you can access Conflict from the map
it's one of the tabs on the left

[remote pecan]

why do you want to open that box in realism in the first place?

[dire grotto]

because it's an objective

you need them to upgrade your skills

[unreal depot]

love checking mission stats and i did -1400M damage

[lavish tulip]

Is it intentional for turmoil kneepads to not be available in the expertise screen?

[brave idol]

apparently

[glass flare]

Is there any way to get blueprints that were season rewards?

[edgy fable]

What blueprints?

Reconfig, crafting?

[glass flare]

Crafting

[edgy fable]

Crafting always Retaliations

[glass flare]

One of them says season 11 reward

[edgy fable]

My bad, I thought you meant exotic

[glass flare]

All good! I actually think I got all the blueprints from reconstructed caches so now I’m trying to figure out how to get the old ones

[edgy fable]

Certain blueprints aren't obtainable because they were never added into the blueprint drop pool

Gotta find a link rq

[glass flare]

So for the one that says season 11 reward, is there a way to get that?

[south topaz]

No

[edgy fable]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vQZF6R-PYMsz9UeqCRCktZ3GW05T60Tru_BCU0J4VGSDrsB_ipKCPBNDmeSwOuQ-vigsh8h73d8Kcso/pubhtml

[south topaz]

U'll never complete it never

[glass flare]

Awesome lol

[edgy fable]

That's a list with all blueprints, it mentions the ones that are unobtainable

[south topaz]

I hoped devs will give old blueprints in this anniversary

[edgy fable]

I'm missing a few too

[brave idol]

why need bps, just get one from countdown and optimize/reconfigure

crafting is a trap

[edgy fable]

Tell that the PS chest with double crits and glass cannon...

5x XP events are ideal to craft tho

[brave idol]

you will never craft it, better chance to get it as a random drop from heroic etc.. no?

[edgy fable]

🦄 No, I also try crafting unicorns

[latent pelican]

Hi, I’m going to be a returning player from 2007, so I’m extremely behind.
Are there any clans active? I’m on Steam.
Like to find a clan and get back into the game and get caught up

[edgy fable]

Hi, check #td2-clan-recruitment

[brave idol]

i thought creafting has always worse stats at least that is what i am getting

[latent pelican]

Ty my apologies for wrong chat.

[edgy fable]

Crafting quality ranges from normal - heroic quality

I gladly take my chances there alongside farming

[brave idol]

i tried to craft a striker piece and did not get a single weapon damage over 10 percent in 30 tries

[edgy fable]

RNG

[brave idol]

yeah but modified rng. just like you can get an overdog from exotic cache and also a ninja kneepad

[edgy fable]

Again, I gladly take my chances from all sources

[brave idol]

my mats are valuable. i use them to increase proficiency of stuff i dont always use but comes handy time to time like incinerator turret or defender drone

[edgy fable]

Yeah you can't really compare a player situation below 1k SHD with someone well over

[shadow hemlock]

HOPE THAT NEW DLC IS THE LONG-AWAITED ZOMBIE MODE THAT THIS GAME SO DAMN.

[brave idol]

i saw in a video that conidential missions give huge seasonal xp is that possible?

[unique bramble]

It's already confirmed it's gonna be ||The division Battle Royal||

[edgy fable]

no zombies

[brave idol]

not so long. i wil be over 1000 soon and i dont want that

[edgy fable]

I don't get why tho

Still about the empty DZs?

[civic dew]

Someone knows where cassie ???

[edgy fable]

Find the snitch and talk to him, he will reveal her and Danny's locations

[brave idol]

mainly yes. also i can claim i am bad but still can approve by the time i am 1000

[civic dew]

And where snitch??? Kkk

[drowsy kraken]

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but can you get the tinkerer mask from target loot on countdown or do you need to run the manhunt mission?

[brave idol]

you cant get it from countdown

[merry sphinx]

They said no on dev stream.

[merry sphinx]

Manager master again. Though if you have another character, it's better to do it on that one since FTC has a 100% chance.

[drowsy kraken]

Does it matter if I didn't do the manhunt originally? Can I still get the 100% drop rate?

[brave idol]

what is ftc?

[kind veldt]

first time clear

[drowsy kraken]

How hard is mastery mode compared to legendary

[kind veldt]

bit easier

[merry sphinx]

Yes, master ftc is always 100% chance.

[kind veldt]

in between heroic and legendary

[drowsy kraken]

Great ty

[kind veldt]

master difficulty does change a bit of the mission compared to the regular one to get you by surprise

[brave idol]

i can do all missions on heroic but master nope

[kind veldt]

mostly by changing some encounters or mechanics

[brave idol]

or legendary solo i mean

[south topaz]

so can u use both modifier and new event now in old climax missions?

[unique bramble]

Yes

[wheat ingot]

In the game and I purchased some currency but then the bundle offer wasn’t showing at the time I purchased it. I only saw it pop up after the purchase I had already made.

[edgy fable]

Playstation has a store menu, no overlay AFAIK. That's a PC thing

[tropic breach]

🔴 exodus or 🟠 overdogs gloves whos king?

[edgy fable]

BTSU :p

[primal elm]

When will crossplay be available or is there not a date

I’m new here

[edgy fable]

No set date

Watch the dev stream from a couple days ago for details

[primal elm]

Ah ok what’s best tips for beginners me and my friend starting new I only previously had like 30-50 hours but this was years ago

[edgy fable]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Tc2UDqrX0vBw-f18opih3idHlueXN7ca2HSEP_yAZDM/edit?tab=t.0
This guide is very useful

[primal elm]

With the summit is that the thing with loads of floors

[tropic breach]

can we racalibrate exotic weapons? or just optimize?

[edgy fable]

You can recalibrate

[edgy fable]

Example:
#unofficial-troubleshooting message

[pastel olive]

You need to buy the specific recalibration blueprint for the exotic from the crafting vendor

And you can’t choose which attributes you want, it randomizes them

[tropic breach]

neat! thank you!

[tropic breach]

but only randomly right? we cant recalibrate 1 attrib to MAX? like all the other weapons

[edgy fable]

Nope, it's random

However if you get the rolls you want you can optimize the rest

[tropic breach]

nice recab on the video but 1 is at half lol.

[edgy fable]

Yeah not an ideal video, was just to show that you can recalibrate :p

[exotic halo]

FAAAAHH

[tropic breach]

I bought the blueprints but I dont see the alejandra on the reconfigure list

[edgy fable]

You can't buy them, they get granted straight into your inventory after you unlock them via the event pass (Harrier backpack too)

[tropic breach]

yeah I have the weapon alejandro too. but I wanted to reconfigure but cant see on the list.

[edgy fable]

From a cache or unlocked via event pass? Only the pass grants the blueprints

[tropic breach]

yeah I claimed all. I have the weapon but cant reconfigure cus its not on the list

[edgy fable]

Are you in the right menu? A lot of ppl end up in the crafting menu...

[still marsh]

yo is there a reason i cant see any vcs?

[edgy fable]

No more VCs in this discord

[still marsh]

ah ok

[dusty walrus]

Random call for back up not working or what

[sudden ruin]

you wanna help or do you need help? cause it was working fine for me, getting help

[severe estuary]

anyone having issues buying premium credits with paypal?

[gentle basin]

Hey so im a new player and I accidentally got on the helicopter that took me to new York and now im level 31 and everything in D.C has what looks like is finished should I just restart

[edgy fable]

You boosted your character I guess. Depends what you want to do now

[dusty walrus]

Whenever I call for backup someone joins ... But when I need to help someone... Back up not working

[dire grotto]

does the Expertise weapon damage and armor buffs scale off of the original values, or the current values of the gear when it's leveled up?

[full zinc]

You can start a second character if you want to play through the story. It'll be from the beginning, tho.

[edgy fable]

Base values

[dire grotto]

gocha, ty

[frosty wadi]

Got both new exotics from back to back anniversary caches we ball

[dire grotto]

I guess it would be a little nuts if it kept scaling off of the current values lmao

[pastel olive]

I made the same mistake but luckily I had finished most of the dc stuff. How far into the game were you?

[wise basalt]

the apt can now drop in the open world?

[sudden ruin]

i got a backup call going out if you need to join for endorsment

[unique bramble]

You both aren't in the same platform

[sudden ruin]

oh damn didnt see that sorry

[brave idol]

same, never got the thing right

i get the call but can never join

[edgy fable]

Capitol sometimes, yes

[wintry pasture]

So question i want the payday 2 stuff but I gotta pay for all skins to get the bonus stuff there ?

[edgy fable]

Yes

Bonus items get granted if you get the full set of something

It even says "Complete the collection to earn the rewards"

[grand grove]

are servers down?

[wintry pasture]

So to get these items I gotta spend mad money

[edgy fable]

No

[wintry pasture]

Thats insane 6720 credits is insane

50 bucks 😭

[unique bramble]

Capitalism is insane

[wise basalt]

is there a list of the weapon skins from the other seasons that u can get from the anni caches?

[edgy fable]

2 outfits were free and two were paid on the event pass a while back

Plus twitch drops for that event

[wintry pasture]

Yeah I was gone at that time

[edgy fable]

Those bonus items are really only backpack trophies for the most part...

[wintry pasture]

True but the gloves I do want

Works too well with dallas

[edgy fable]

Well...

[brazen nexus]

you can get bighorn from exotic cache also?

[small spear]

no

stretch goal caches when they come back, or legendary named enemy drop

[wintry pasture]

Im just gonna get my goalt dallas forget everything else

[edgy fable]

Sure, whatever you like

[wintry pasture]

I just need to find a backpack that works with it

[simple spoke]

guys can I ask you something? 🙂

is the realismus mode permanently or only for the annivarsary season?

[kind veldt]

temporary, only this month during the anniversary event

[simple spoke]

thank you a lot mate 🤜🏻🤛🏻

[edgy fable]

#lfg-playstation try there 👍

[fossil elk]

There was a backpack in the store with deer antlers a while ago, any chance of getting that added again? I was hoping they'd bring back past cosmetics and put them on sale or something.

[edgy fable]

Try #1380194318786232360 and put your request in there

[warped magnet]

Hello, can you tell me how to get Quickstep now?

[edgy fable]

Find someone with a Houndsman bounty, try in #lfg-pc or join the GCROCK discord

[warped magnet]

Do you mean the player?

[edgy fable]

Yes, you need to find a player who has at least one Houndsman bounty they can share with you

[timber acorn]

the backpacks that i have in the apparel section, like the houndsman backpack and anniversary backpack, when i dye them i cant remove the dye. the dye comes back whenever i load into a new area and i have to strip it again. how do i fix this?

[warped magnet]

thx

[edgy fable]

You can't it's a bug

[timber acorn]

are they aware of this?

[edgy fable]

Yes https://trello.com/b/F2RU9ia9/the-division-2-known-issues

[kind veldt]

old bug

[timber acorn]

bruh so itll never be fixed lol

[edgy fable]

Idk if it is old, it happened recently to me

[potent maple]

Anyone able to help a returning player build a striker build.

[kind veldt]

there are guides on #td2-build-advice , countdown is the best way to gear since you can select the type you want

people at #td2-build-advice ,ignore youtube

try to get the consensus instead of just one voice

[candid ember]

Hi, I'm trying to finish the Daily Project DZ West Cleanup.
For that I have to finish:

• Extract contaminated supplies from Dark Zone West (DONE)
• Clear landmarks in Dark Zone WEst (DONE)
• Recover DZ drops from Dark Zone West (OPEN) -> What do I have to do here exactly? I picked up the contaminted items through my stash, but it looks like it isn't it...

[timber acorn]

is there a full black dye for gear rather than solid?

[kind veldt]

the only black dye that comes to my mind at the moment is the hunter one

[timber acorn]

how do you get that?

[kind veldt]

defeating all WONY hunters and opening the chest

[timber acorn]

okay ill have to do hunters then. do they spawn on normal mode?

[pseudo chasm]

how do you get the big alejandro blueprint

[glass pollen]

anyone recommend if this game is worth coming back too

[languid bay]

From what im watching absolutely

Not really sure why Survivors news is so scarce rn considering how massive of an addition it is to the game but

And how close the release is

[glass pollen]

I havent seen much might make a return kinda miss it '

[unique bramble]

They don't want to spoil the surprise

[kind veldt]

did they even give an estimate?

[languid bay]

Spring i believe

[icy solar]

Anybody wants to help me farm for the Catalyst mask

[wise basalt]

i think i've open more field caches in the last 3 days than the last few years whenever field caches were added.

[languid bay]

Getting tutorial popups on my account with 200+ hours is hilarious

[unique bramble]

you can use the R3 analog to look around

[brave idol]

no there is a specific dark zone drop activity. it happens every 30 minutes or so (depends on population). you will see an alert on your screen., just like the supply mission in light world. you gotta open one of those crates

you dont need to extract it just open the crate ( you can throw a decoy and hope that you survive until you open it which i do time to time)

[unreal depot]

why is my lockdown doing 1000 damage per hit

[brave idol]

bugged

[unreal depot]

is it a known thing lol

[ebon bluff]

What specialization should I level after gunner? Whats the second most popular?

[unreal depot]

tech or demo

[mint aspen]

Bro how is the fragile armour bug STILL in this game! Surely it has to be a known issue

[midnight epoch]

Played when the game dropped.

It plays and looks better than half the games in the past 2 years. Perfect time to come back, games on sale on Steam and the boost/catchup mechanic is a godsend

[faint cairn]

does matchmaking usually take so long? ive been matchmaking for tidal basin on hard for like 15 minutes now

[ebon bluff]

would demo be better for someone who doesent like to rely on skills

[unreal depot]

Tech has tech tank builds

[mint aspen]

It’s because you’re matchmaking for hard. Everyone only does heroic or legendary

[faint cairn]

oh that makes sense

the highest option i have is hard though?

[languid bay]

Are you at 40 or have you ran it once by yourself

[glass pollen]

i last played like maybe 3-4 months ago but its one of those games i always come back too

[languid bay]

Heroic & Legendary are only available if you ran that stronghold before and are 40 i think

[faint cairn]

im 33 and never

[pastel olive]

What are its attributes 👀

[cyan grove]

So, it seems they finally patched xp amount given in national bond bank classified mission, forgot the name.

[unreal depot]

it's a normal lockdown bro 😭

[brave idol]

try reaching out lvl 40 first

[brave idol]

it is a known bug as i said

[pastel olive]

So it’s not… one of the funny lockdowns…

[brave idol]

tech

[faint cairn]

is specialzied gear any good?

[brave idol]

what is specialized gear? you mean outfits?

[faint cairn]

blue gear's rarity is labeled "specialized"

[stable sand]

Are there rouge agents in realism mode ? I just heard rouge agents detected 👀

[brave idol]

you wont use blue once you rach 40, until then use whatever you want

[pastel olive]

Oh that’s just stuff you use while leveling

[unreal depot]

there might be carmine agents

[faint cairn]

so not good

[stable sand]

Oh ok thanks

[brave idol]

anything you have before lvl 40 is not good

just deconstruct and save the mats

[pastel olive]

@unreal depot hold on I’m gonna @ you in #ask-td2-community in a minute, I’ll show you what I mean :)

[languid bay]

Dont matchmake just run into the basin

[faint cairn]

but i dont want to play alone

[languid bay]

Its not that bad tbh lol especially under 40 on hard

[faint cairn]

not because its hard, just because its less fun

[uneven dome]

how come none of my missions are triggering

trying to do bank hq and it wont start

[edgy fable]

Did you actually start the mission or just fast travelled there?

[uneven dome]

fast travel and walk in and nothing happens

[edgy fable]

😄

You need to start it. When you fast travel to a mission you'll see a mission board with settings

Alternatively start it from your map and fast travel there

[uneven dome]

oh ok

ty

[edgy fable]

Yw

[faint cairn]

enemies retake control points?

[lunar hare]

yes

[dire flower]

Been farming NBA

[stable sand]

Anyone got the Civic Center - SHD Tech Cache under tunnel in Realism mode I can’t pick up lock box key to open that hidden door its for projects !!

[limber ruin]

question is it to late to get the role for ubisoft connect since i did buyt both games on steam recently and i dont see a channel to get the role to say im on ubisoft connect like i did when i first joined the server and i rather not leave and then rejoin so maybe im blind but is their a channel to get additional roles?

wait nvm im blind as a bat

[edgy fable]

id:customize

[limber ruin]

yea just noticed that lmao

[hybrid viper]

Yes if they successfully attacked the CP yes. I lost 4 of em already

LOOKING AT YOU METRO STATION

[edgy fable]

Lol I reset them as soon as I conquered a district :p

[hybrid viper]

I only reset if I conquer whole map

[faint cairn]

20 minutes trying to matchmake for random main mission and i cant find anything? idk whats going on with matchmaking today

[edgy fable]

Lower difficulties have barely any players, just guessing here

[faint cairn]

Do main missions have higher than hard? I already finished them all and hard is the highest I can matchmake for

[edgy fable]

Heroic is the highest for missions

Legendary for strongholds and Summit

Most ppl play heroic, in my experience

Legendary not far behind

[mighty girder]

challenging difficulty feels so unfufilling now

[midnight epoch]

Does difficulty change roll quality in stats?

[lunar hare]

yes

[pastel olive]

yeah

[midnight epoch]

Can you even get max rolls on normal/Chall?

[pastel olive]

Probably

Much Lower chance I imagine

[lunar hare]

on normal, no, on Challenging rarely

[timber acorn]

can i get overdogs with glove targeted loot at the powerplant?

[lunar hare]

anywhere with Gloves TL

[vocal owl]

Hi everyone.
Where can I ask for help farming the bighorn ?
I tried to farm lv 10 summit solo but it took for ever .

[edgy fable]

If you don't find anyone try the GCRock discord

[vocal owl]

U have a link ?

[edgy fable]

Can't post here. Google and you'll find

[vocal owl]

Ok thank you

[green badge]

I DM it to you.

[timber acorn]

when did all the people playing countdown via matchmaking get lobotomized?

[jagged prism]

fairly newish mechanic Retaliations. you do enough activitives, missions or 1 stronghold for a faction they "retaliate" take over a random area regardless if you controlled that control point or not. then you got 6 hours to respond to push them back out or leave it alone they take it back permanently until you take it back at some point

gone are the days where you could spend a few days in DC to turn your map all green 😹

[candid ember]

Thanks 🙂

[spare anchor]

Can i farm the liquid engineer in countdown?

[jagged prism]

probably via buying named caches. it is a dz exclusive item

oh or Legacy caches as well, forgot those exists now

[spare anchor]

Oh damn nice ty

[jagged prism]

but legacy caches you're contending for a lot of seasonal items so chances are a lot slimmer getting a liquid engineer

[full jasper]

Is getting the DLC important?

[jagged prism]

which one?

Warlords of new york gives you 4 skills, 1 named item, battle for brooklyn gives you a named AR, exotic mask and 1 skill. obviously both also give your more hunter masks which you complete to get those named items

[full jasper]

So......yes technically, if I want the good stuff. I do want a good AR and Marksman rifle. Only obtained via DLC I assume?

[timber acorn]

do heroic and challenging coutndown have same loot chances? nobody that im matchmaking with heroic can actually complete it

[jagged prism]

that's the risk of running heroic countdown 😹

[timber acorn]

man back when i was playing this game matchmaking people have brains

[mighty girder]

challenging countdown is generally recommended. heroic countdown technically has better loot, but it's not good enough to outweigh the difficulty increase

[jagged prism]

depends. you want a named Famas with Perfect Frenzy (lmg talent)? bfb it is, but people rarely use it. wony or bfb has no exotics or specific MMR tied to it

[mighty girder]

also, countdown loot quality is better than loot from other sources at the same difficulty

[timber acorn]

will i still get overdogs

[mighty girder]

yes

[jagged prism]

awhile back they revamped Countdown. Normal soloable, hard 4 people can run it, challenging 8 pepole, heroic for those 8 people with maxed out gear or something along those lines

but doesn't stop people suggesting to run heroic when one just started out

[wooden pewter]

Sooo

I bought the game on Ubisoft bc it wouldn’t work with my steam? Even though I got every dlc on steam and game

[jagged prism]

again, no one here can help you. we're all regular people. best we can do is listen and point you to the forums in the #rules and wish you the best of luck

[wooden pewter]

Yea I got it fiugred out atleast

[jagged prism]

as much as i can tell you. xbox game pass and steam uses Ubisoft Connect as kind of a gate i'm guessing. they check Ubisoft connect for your account that owns the game and DLC and starts it up for you from their platforms

[full jasper]

@jagged prism An exotic AR. Ill take any right now. The guns have now are weaker than some earlier weapons!

[wooden pewter]

How do Ik if I’m on the brooklynn dlc in realism

[jagged prism]

exotics are nice but i usually prefer High Ends over exotics. think 99.9999% go with St Elmo. not a fan of it for reasons i won't go into because it could just be me and my timing so only a small amount of exotics is used from me even new ones like the Harrier which i still want to find some use for 🤔

[mighty girder]

most exotic ARs are either kinda meh, the best AR right now is actually high-end

[jagged prism]

i'm not playing it so no clue, but people been saying we start out in New York and that's free for the duration of this anniversary event so people can play realism mode

[mighty girder]

the only exotic AR that's considered "good" is st. elmo's, but it still performs slightly worse than a high-end police m4 since it lacks a talent
the rest are situational, highly inconsistent, or are just not capable of being a laser like the police m4

[full jasper]

@jagged prism I use high end stuff. Yellow/gold items is all i get.

[jagged prism]

the high ends that gets mentioned are Police M4, Lexington, Famas, F2k. Truck mentioned CTAR but i always forget it because i was thinking can't use 1 mod on it or it was missing 1 mod slot or something but they assure it's probably the LLP for heartbreaker build that can't be used on it

[cloud badge]

Is it just me or is this game really yellow

Everything feels like it has an overlay of yellow on it

[jagged prism]

remember Puff Puff pass and you won't see things as yellow
tuesday they did an update. the yellow is from Realism Mode bleeding into normal gameplay. if you go to your settings menu you'll noticed a "realism mode" option at the very bottom with things you can turn on and off

[cloud badge]

Thanks

[jagged prism]

Rivens mentioned some lighting setting change kind of brings the game back to what we're used to but dark becomes well, darker. bring your flash light mod on your pistol 😹

[cloud badge]

I play with max brightness and have settings changed on my monitor so I think I'll be fine

[brave idol]

so my incinerator turret kills me as well? what a useless device

[jagged prism]

have you tried Xuro?

[brave idol]

what?

[timber acorn]

can i get overdogs from exotic crates if i dont have it yet

[mighty girder]

yes

it's in the general exotic loot pool

[cold narwhal]

It’s a gearset made basically just for flame turret

[jagged prism]

ole Firecrest 2.0 a gearset from Division 1 but remade differently and it flopped hard 😹

[brave idol]

ok i tretead it like assault turret, it should be treated like a grenade, that was my mistake

it is not a strong turrent. random forward cone, no targeting mechanism and hurts me as well

[jagged prism]

but your assault turret don't kill you when it shoots you?

[brave idol]

it never shoots me

[cold narwhal]

I mean anything that is solely useful for one variant of one skill is gonna flop

[jagged prism]

i read it when it released and was excited for it, but yeah it wasn't as great as the div 1 firecrest set 😢

[cold narwhal]

Guess you haven’t mistakenly put one out when fighting hunters

[mighty girder]

exuro turret in countdown against hunters, watch as everyone gets 360 noscoped

[jagged prism]

i feel we need to run them through houndsman bounty?

[cold narwhal]

Yes

[jagged prism]

or would roosevelt manhunt be better?

[cold narwhal]

Thats too harsh for first time

That was almost too harsh for me solo

[brave idol]

yay, got a god rolled....... like glue

[cold narwhal]

Realism mode was great from the get-go, Kelso walked directly into a fire, caught on fire, and started screaming 🤣

[jagged prism]

should've recorded it 😹

[cold narwhal]

I did. Nowhere to really post clips here though

[jagged prism]

youtube? pick a random person to post the link?

dunno though. don't think your video will be as great as Chows when someone spawns in a legendary run all 3players kissing the floor. he gets them up they rambo styled the next room and one guy exclaims his armor shouldn't have gotten shredded as if he were wearing paper 😹

[cold narwhal]

Id still have to dm the link to anyone

[brave idol]

eliminate hostiles with granade while stationary>? what is the trick here

[cold narwhal]

Nothing

[jagged prism]

or if a mod is active. send them a dm and ask them if you posted it, would it be ok? 😹

[cold narwhal]

Just dont move after throwing it

[jagged prism]

best bet? drop to normal. take cover wait for the full blue bar. lob nade

[kind veldt]

thorw grenade before gunfight starts

[jagged prism]

🤔 true sons mission where you take back the radio or tv station. right at the beginning you get 4ish people nicely packed

[cold narwhal]

Just use flame grenade, it will still count even if they miss the initial hit and walk back into the fire which they almost always do

[jagged prism]

question is, Collector or Acosta go bag? 🤔

[brave idol]

does the technicians scpecial weapon count as grenade?

[jagged prism]

nope, gotta be the ones you pull a mecahnism and throw

doubt the demo spec weaon grenade launcher would count either

[cold narwhal]

Acosta + that one lengmo chest with perfect mad bomber. I use that for hollywopd ge. Only thing in the game that lets you cook grenades which ensures a hit if you know what you’re doing

[jagged prism]

collector increases your grenade damage the more people getting hit by said nade too though 😹

[cold narwhal]

Mad bomber increases radius as well

[jagged prism]

is it the mad bomber talent that lets you cook? nm, yeah. was thinking acosta let you cook it just lets you throw your first nade for free then nets you 1 skill tier doesn't it?

[kind veldt]

if you just go to normal difficulty then mad bomber works fine

[cold narwhal]

I use mad bomber on heroic and works fine

[brave idol]

incinerator turret is so useless

[cold narwhal]

Not if it spins around like crazy

[jagged prism]

i forget how much we have to kill with nades while stationary so just madbomber on normal might not be possible without of course is it fast travel to a safe house and then replinish our nades?

[brave idol]

its damage is cclose to 0

[jagged prism]

question. why are you using it?

[cold narwhal]

Well, are you using it with a skill and status effect build?

Otherwise yeah

[jagged prism]

probably strikers or something 😹

[brave idol]

skill build. replaced my assault turret with it

[willow turtle]

I've run an Exuro (All Blue Cores) and been able to pull off Heroics solo with it, it's really not that bad, especially if you toggle it on and off for room control.

[brave idol]

didnt kill a single persoon yet

[jagged prism]

then no status effect but expects it to do a better job 😹

[cold narwhal]

Yeah cause without exuro it’s stuck on one position

[jagged prism]

well, you keep calling it useless so it's probably working as useless as you think 😹

[brave idol]

i have drone turret build. it is not called a drone striker turret build

[willow turtle]

Use it more defensively than offensively if you find yourself having issues positioning it

[brave idol]

defensively it kill sme

[jagged prism]

yeah, that's why it's weak in your eyes

[cold narwhal]

Need status effect damage. Regular skill damage build not really going to help it

[willow turtle]

Honestly I love placing it down on spawn points with an Eclipse build, guaranteed crowd control

[jagged prism]

i like using the chem launcher and sticky bomb personally

[cold narwhal]

Foam chem launcher is funniest cause it’s like…how does the foam spread

[brave idol]

i apolozie for having this stupid idea of using an inceinerator turret for brunung enemies actiity

[willow turtle]

Foam and Airburst seeker with NinjaBike Eclipse/Exuro build, 32s burn time (then you add Perfect Perpetuation)

[jagged prism]

it's white sticky stuff, probably don't want to know 😹

[cold narwhal]

It’s like any specialty in this game, if you’re not using it to its strengths then it’s always going to be useless

[jagged prism]

ninja nerfs you by a lot though, but you do you

[willow turtle]

I can stand to lose the +30% damage to enemies on an all skill build lol, I'll take the extra burn time and fire damage

[jagged prism]

i'll stick to my eclipse, vile + snow machine

[cold narwhal]

It’s like complaining about sniper rifles being useless when you have no hsd. Yeah no duh

[willow turtle]

Why snow machine exactly though?

[jagged prism]

what would you use? electrique is the only thing that comes to my mind with 1 pc status effects

[cold narwhal]

I thought snow machine was only cosmetic

[willow turtle]

400-500k damage per tick is pretty nice, especially for 32s+

That's typically why I run NinjaBike with Exuro/Eclipse

[mighty girder]

it is, it's just that you don't lose anything if you use it, so why not enjoy some snow

[cold narwhal]

I suppose so

[jagged prism]

again ninja nerfing ya build as it doesn't provide any benefit aside piecing together +1 to gear set and brand set

[ashen moat]

Why is DToc sought after?

[cold narwhal]

Because it does the most damage

[kind veldt]

multiplicative and works on both health and armor

[jagged prism]

think Multiplicitive damage or something?

a realm i never treaded down 😹

[kind veldt]

health and armor also are, but more situational

[willow turtle]

Yeah, I just use it specifically for the burn build.

Eclipse 3pc = 4pc
Exuro 2pc = 3pc

Good fire damage and fire duration bonuses specifically, then the specialization added for more.

[brave idol]

that is not accurate. it is a skill and i have a full skill build

[ashen moat]

Well when you get into an enemies health they fall over, isn't DTA 6% and dtoc is 8 right? Just wondering, unless dta is additive?

[cold narwhal]

dttooc is the one thing as a new player i wish I had known sooner. The name sounds like such a nothingburger that I ignored it. Coming from other games you’d think damage to armor or something would be better

[jagged prism]

skill haste and skill damage doesn't make it strong it's nerfed

[cold narwhal]

Not all skills work the same. Apparently you ignored all our replies though.

[jagged prism]

long before a nerf. the trifecta was Fox's Prayer, Contrator's gloves and Hollowman Mask. things melted when you donned those 3 pieces in your build

[mighty girder]

misread question sorry

[jagged prism]

remember division 2 players can't read 😹

[ashen moat]

As a new player I'm just trying to understand the why. DTA is appealing, but if dtoc is the same thing as DTA and dth into one perk why do the other 2 exist.

[cold narwhal]

Still a pretty decent trifecta

[jagged prism]

#td2-general-chat message
read this

[cold narwhal]

dttooc just just more total damage. Thats all you really need to know

[kind veldt]

well quick commentary while i'm dead in siege, damage to health has high values but usually health is the smallest part of an enemy total health, exception being things like heavies and robo dogs

[ashen moat]

He deleted it lol

[cold narwhal]

Heavies have armor plates which function differently than the armor stat

[kind veldt]

damage to armor only works on the white bars above the enemy health and the values are smaller and rarer

[jagged prism]

think you forgot to put your eyes in

[kind veldt]

while i's useful its hard to build efficiently

[brave idol]

at least it kills outcast rushers qucikly

[kind veldt]

out of cover only has the cover check and works in almost anything

[ashen moat]

You're right my fault

[cold narwhal]

Everything kills outcast rushers quickly, including themselves 🤣

[mighty girder]

actually speaking of out of cover, what constitutes as being out of cover, does shooting from cover count or does the enemy need to be completely standing away from cover

[jagged prism]

love the elite rushes and the elite grenadiers 😹

[cold narwhal]

This because ads are all idiots who stand out in the open to shoot you because they are self aware of their tankiness lol

[cold narwhal]

Elite rushers are great cause they usually kill the entire group they are with 🤣

[ashen moat]

Basically dtooc is better because it has a wider range of usage than the other two and 9 times out of 10 when you're killing something they're typically not in cover. ?

[cold narwhal]

Yeah more or less

[jagged prism]

nods i cheer in my head if i kill one as they exit their spawn and watch the rest burn and die 😹

[kind veldt]

i believe if they are in cover still shooting at you it counts as being in cover, consider out of cover as walking around

[mighty girder]

noted

[kind veldt]

and things such as heavies, drones and other annoying stuff are usually out of cover

and you can just chuck a nade or a skill to make enemy leave cover

[cold narwhal]

Imagine if war dogs took cover. Sniper dog would be unstoppable 🤣

[mighty girder]

if you're shooting at an enemy, they either hide in cover (so you can't hit them anyway), or they decide to continue getting nailed in the face by rolling away and standing away from cover, in which case dttoc kicks in

[cold narwhal]

Me: “yes, yes, please continue to do your dance of backflips and cartwheels”

[mighty girder]

or they're running out of a doorway and you're spawn camping them

[jagged prism]

imagine next season they give a mortar warhound 😹

[mighty girder]

"hey, why does this door lead to a pile of my dead comrades? ah, must be the wind"

[kind veldt]

of course having all three would be great but it's hard like people mentioned in the old meta

[shut inlet]

Server shutdown imminent? 🤔

[mighty girder]

server resets happen periodically, though if you're seeing it you're probably already on another server that isn't shutting down anytime soon

[brave idol]

[primal elm]

Any tips for my friend to get level 40 fast he’s 33

I’m 40 and it’s hard trying to help him cause eveything goes to 40

[jagged prism]

that's how the game is build. low levels can join 40 but they do low damage to level 40 npcs and have a miserable time

[primal elm]

Yeah I’m not sure on how to help him or just let him do it himself with other level 30s

[jagged prism]

a friend and i before resolve became a thing.
we'd run each other through WONY campaign in something like 1 hour or less

[primal elm]

By chance would u anyone be able to tell me if my build is good like my items n stuff or if what i built years ago is crap

[mighty girder]

#td2-build-advice

[jagged prism]

they'd log in, boost to 30 we'd wait patiently for them to finish that WONY tutorial and get to haven. group up and fast travel to all safe houses so they can grab the projects. then start the missions. of course there was the little time consuming part at 39 waiting on activities to show up so we can get level 40 then we'd go tackle last mission and swap 😹

[jagged prism]

nods post a picture in the channel corruptphoton linked

[primal elm]

Sounds easy

[faint cairn]

whenever i try to do automatch making for a random mission it always puts me to find a mission for Federal Emergency Bunker. then i never find a mission. how can i search for ANY people doing ANY mission?

[jagged prism]

if you're not matchmaking for heroic chances will be slim

[faint cairn]

the hardest i can do is hard. and ive completed all main missions

[shut inlet]

I apparently got the Hush skin but cannot find it 🤔

[kind veldt]

are you already at lv 40?

[jagged prism]

then matchmaking hard won't net you people running it. a good 99.999999% are on heroics. i solo mostly but this season journey/objective had me matchmake for a 2nd person for x minutes or x kills 🤮

[faint cairn]

No. But there’s no chance that with 20k players, and the game on sale for 2 dollars, there’s no one doing any man mission in story, medium or hard. Not ONE person???

[pastel olive]

Cool

#lfg-pc

[kind veldt]

there's almost no one playing below 40, so matchmaking wont find you people

call for backup will let higher level players join you

[neat sedge]

woops mb

[sullen viper]

does it make more sense to donate your scrap to the expertise bench first before scraping the rest?

[jagged prism]

just know if a level 40 join you the mobs become level 40, your gear will be come useless and you'll essentially get carried by that 40 level person if they're good

[kind veldt]

define scrap

[sullen viper]

scrap as in gear i dont need

[kind veldt]

well yeah

thats what people do

[jagged prism]

order Recalibration Library -> expertise -> materials

[kind veldt]

pickup as trash, donate trash to expertise, whats left is either mats or money

[sullen viper]

i have been dismantling my gear without going to the bench to spend it on expertise 💀

[jagged prism]

considering your trashing 31+ gear. 1-30 just trash or sell

[kind veldt]

dont need to go to bench just press M in your inventory

[sullen viper]

ahh nice

[jagged prism]

we got 2 recalibration libraries. 1-30 and 31-40

1-30 not worth filling in unless you have something like OCD and just have to max all that stuff 😹

[sullen viper]

and another question if a weapon shows a full bar for lets say stability does that mean mods on that weapon give no return or only deminishing returns on that stat?

[jagged prism]

like the 3rd ability? nah it's just extra. that stat people usually have Damage to Targets out of Cover aside LMG as that stat is the 2nd that can't be changed then it's either Chance, Damage, Fire speed i think?

[sullen viper]

no....

[kind veldt]

you cant get 150% accuracy for a secret bonus

[jagged prism]

but there are limits to the stats you can get on your gear and weapons. chd is about the only one i can think of with diminishing returns in this case

[sullen viper]

on any weapon it says stability and on that weapon it has like a bar next to stability apparently showing how stable the gun is, my question is do mods for stability even do anything when put on a weapon with a full stability bar shown in the ui

[pastel olive]

He’s asking if you can extend the stability bar beyond the visible limits in the inventory screen

Bird shot says no

I trust the bird

[sullen viper]

the bird tells the truth

[jagged prism]

because if you don the Umbra gearset then use Backfire for 400% crit damage at some point you get returns 😹

[sullen viper]

he still doesent understand

[jagged prism]

you asked about getting diminishing returns. the only one i know we can get that in is critical damage

[sullen viper]

bro

you need to read fr what the context is

[pastel olive]

Well. I believe all damage sources get diminishing returns.

[jagged prism]

i did, just giving you an example of the only thing i know we can get diminishing returns

[pastel olive]

BUT they were asking a specific questing about accuracy and stability

[kind veldt]

the specifics were about the stats bar on acc and stb

accuracy is a bit funky

[jagged prism]

i mean i guess. if you got stability, accuracy on your weapon in the 3rd attribute, then you stack on weaopn handling on your gear you can hit that diminishing returns bit but it'd be a waste honestly 😹

[kind veldt]

because accuracy wasnt being calculated correctly on hsotguns before like you had with sheriff acc on cover being worse than out of cover

[kind veldt]

it was never about the those rolls

[jagged prism]

taht was really odd 😹

like i was expecting cover shooting with sherrif that reticle would be smaller. nope it's a lot bigger than being out of cover and shooting 😹

[kind veldt]

well sheriff is fixed

but that was an oddly ultra specific shotgun scenario

[jagged prism]

new exotic and all 😹

[kind veldt]

anyhow the conversation was about going past this bar

if adding 50% more stability would still have benefits for example

[jagged prism]

i know, but they wanted to know about diminishing returns for mods. so the only example i can think of diminishing returns was crit damage

[tough gazelle]

New player here do I need all the dlc’s or is just the standard game okay until the new dlc comes out?

[jagged prism]

dlcs not need. currently this month you get wony for free. 27th rolls around you lose wony
wony and bfb just adds a level 30 boost in wony, level 40 in bfb
wony has 4 skills, named chest, bfb named ar, exotic mask both offer more hunter puzzles for those named items in each

oh bfb also offers 1 skill

[hidden quail]

Location of snitch?

[lunar hare]

random

[jagged prism]

spawns randomly for everyone. i usually check 2 places. one by the white house classifed assigment. then west potomac near the most northwest enterance to dz south

[pastel olive]

Didn’t they nerf that today

Or am I tripping

[jagged prism]

think only people below 1k shd does that 😹

[dire flower]

Resources, and us under 1000 shd play other games too

[jagged prism]

btw: waht you're explaining is an exploit. nice knowing you

[dire flower]

Figured you was the police cause I brought up a good point 🤣

[jagged prism]

you see them orange names on the right hand side? how am i the police?

[undone timber]

It's not worth it😭

[dire flower]

Its like flashing your arms when the police arent noticing

You want them aware

[jagged prism]

them orange names are always aware. especialy ais

[pastel olive]

No her name is Rivens, shes an AI Lesbian

[dire flower]

I seen that person type

[mighty girder]

what is that? we only share... ahem, perfectly legitmate xp farming methods

[undone timber]

Oh that

[hybrid ore]

It's true, I am.

[toxic musk]

Guys. I reckon Rivens is looking away, do illicit things, like milk before cereal

[mighty girder]

wait putting milk before cereal is illicit?

[toxic musk]

Anyway, learning that Smart Cover auto loads your weapons after swapping is oddly funny

[toxic musk]

.....yes?

[undone timber]

Capital offence

[grand gyro]

Is anyone down to help me complete master general Anderson?? Looking for players for hours now

[mighty girder]

well then

[jagged prism]

old lonestar gearset in skill form

[mighty girder]

screw you all because i will keep putting milk before my cereal and nobody can stop m- are those sirens

[jagged prism]

message will get deleted by mod and you'll be mentioned to hit the LFG-PC considering your icon

[grand gyro]

Okokk

[shut inlet]

Jeez, just clear a supply drop and the rogue agents show up... not that they care about the damn crates

[dire flower]

You get less cereal, that is a felony

[jagged prism]

they want the candy you just stole from them

[toxic musk]

Rogue Agents are simply seeing what you left behind

[jagged prism]

or they want to talk to you about your life insurance or your cars extended warranty

[shut inlet]

jokes on them, I stayed at a holiday inn express last night

[toxic musk]

Strictly speaking. Wouldn't getting Ruin to spawn be easy again, given the current event

[dire flower]

Why does rogue agents have more health than us and we are the same tier

[lunar hare]

we are not the same as them

[dire flower]

Aren't they just rogue versions of our agents

[toxic musk]

"Hello, Agent. Have you got a structured settlement and are in need of cash now?" - John Rogue Agent

[toxic musk]

Nah. They're worse than us. We have fashion sense

[pastel olive]

[lunar hare]

with way different versions of an AI of our bricks

[toxic musk]

ANNA is so cool. I wish ISAC had witticism

[jaunty haven]

Well yes. But they supposedly lived thru the first wave which provided them with a +10000% hp, damage and skill instant use buff

[toxic musk]

Crazy they lived for that long, then they ran into us

Huzzah. I'm only missing one more Tarot card

[faint cairn]

im playing through the new york dlc for the first time and it only lets me do missions on story difficulty? cant i increase the difficulty?

[toxic musk]

Yeah. But you have to complete them, first. I believe, then you can go back and do them on any difficulty

[jagged prism]

after you do story then you can change the difficulty

question is. while leveling why would you run it again on a harder difficulty? 🤔

[toxic musk]

For a challenge

To better themselves, and potentially get loot

[faint cairn]

i remember running all of D1 on hard difficulty

story is soooo easy. there's 0 challenge

[hollow bloom]

has anyone on pc got the houndsman bounty that wouldnt mind helping me get the quickstep

[jagged prism]

best i got is krampus and bloody houndsman

[shut inlet]

Just kill the robot puppies

and then teleport away and "lose" the bounty

[hollow bloom]

i dont have the bounty thats the issue

[shut inlet]

oh.

[hollow bloom]

i spent 30 minutes going to the hot spots just to find out they dont spawn anymore lol

[jagged prism]

houndsman halloween was just october. bloody houndsman was just valentines event

[hollow bloom]

damn so i just missed it

[jagged prism]

halloween hound was the original that offered the quickstep

<-idiot cleared all bounties and never saved any 😹

[hollow bloom]

got me jealous seeing people run about with it

[fluid hollow]

Lol same here

[jagged prism]

was under the assumption. event ends bount will cease to exist as well so no point in keeping them 😹

[fluid hollow]

hence why im asking if anyone has any

[hollow bloom]

will only have to wait 8 months for them to bring it out for non event people lol

[jagged prism]

i'd guess 4 months

they added it to the stretch goals which usually run a week or 2 before season ends

[hybrid ore]

@fluid hollow You're welcome to ask down in #lfg-pc, GL Agent

[hollow bloom]

need my super speed

[jagged prism]

think lady death gives you that speed? 🤔 just not the funky run 😹

[hollow bloom]

you get the speed boost on kill

[jagged prism]

i'd say works until you get your quickstep 😹

[hollow bloom]

lll never unequip my ouroboros

[hybrid ore]

It's not ideal, since it takes up a potential exotic slot, and is only on-kill for 10 seconds.

[edgy fable]

You will

[jagged prism]

🤔 wait a minute. didn't we have an overdrive that gave us running speed?

[toxic musk]

Raaa, I just need Temperance

[hollow bloom]

you will have to rip it out of my hands to get it away from me

[edgy fable]

Give it some time

[fluid hollow]

until you realize a full red striker with the new MG42 does so much damage the invincible targets dont even register the damage.

[hollow bloom]

i gave it a hour break earlier using my negotiators build thats enough for the year

[toxic musk]

Tipping Scales with Big Al is too fun to use Strikers tbh

Weird Al 🤝 Big Al

Iconic Al's

[hollow bloom]

only if you could have 2 exotics big al and ouroboros my life would be complete

[toxic musk]

Actually. Have we seen both of them in the same room?

[jaunty haven]

Patiently waiting for an aoe exotic explosive round sniper.

[jaunty haven]

I'll settle for them letting us use big al with the shield 🐱

[toxic musk]

Mmmm. Yes

[jagged prism]

good luck with both of those 😹

[edgy fable]

Is the Tac .50 not good enough for you? 😮

[hollow bloom]

its thin enough to fit in the crusader shield just have to wait for them to allow it

[jagged prism]

merciless is a rifle and it explodes. regulus explodes heads

if you're patient enough. Reanimated will be back and any sniper you use explodes heads visually

does aoe damage too including hostages 😹

[wise basalt]

anyone know how much event xp u get for 1 run of retal?

[jagged prism]

probably not much. or probably not fast enough to not run priority objectives

you going to run it and let us know? then compare it to a priority objective and let us know the details? 👀

[hybrid viper]

Pretty sure Prio Obj with XP rewards is Far far quicker than Run of Retal

[cloud badge]

Is the battle pass worth spending money on?

[undone timber]

Completely subjective

[cloud badge]

Will I be losing anything except for cosmetics that'll take me a while to get?

[potent maple]

Anyone down to help me farm for a striker build.?

[lusty shale]

i think the battle pass is bugged or something... i dont' have it, but i'm up to 500 stash space all of a sudden

[tropic breach]

I dont see the alejandro in the exotic reconfigure list

[lusty shale]

yeah its a bug, cant actually put anything in

[undone timber]

No

[undone timber]

You get the blueprint with the gun in the pass

[timber acorn]

how rare is overdogs? i cant find it in challenging powerplant

[kind veldt]

same as any other exotic glove

there is nothing to overthink about it

[mighty girder]

just noticed gloves tl is at krampus bounty

[timber acorn]

is this guaranteed exotic

[mighty girder]

no

[timber acorn]

repeatable tho?

[mighty girder]

yes, if you leave or die without killing krampus

[timber acorn]

would that be better than powerplant challenging farm?

[mighty girder]

well, countdown is notable because it has a very high abundance of loot

[lunar hare]

I mean yeah, every enemy drops loot

[mighty girder]

krampus bounty is notable because every single enemy in it is named, and named enemies are guaranteed to drop loot

[timber acorn]

ive never done krampus bounty how do i startt it

[mighty girder]

so theoretically that means if you repeatedly kill the first wave of krampus minions you have more opportunities to get what you want

[mighty girder]

do you have krampus bounty anyway

[timber acorn]

prolly not how do i check

[lunar hare]

oh lol you can't if you don't have the bounty

[timber acorn]

how do i check

[mighty girder]

bounty menu in map

[timber acorn]

how do i get it if i dont have it

[mighty girder]

you can't

[lunar hare]

you don't

[timber acorn]

bruh

[kind veldt]

did you play during the christmas?

[mighty girder]

the only way is to time travel to christmas 2025 and kill a krampus minion in the open world

[timber acorn]

permenant time locked content like that is lame

[lunar hare]

it was a limited time event

[edgy fable]

Find someone who has a bounty so they can share with you

[kind veldt]

it was christmas

you dont have christmas in march

[timber acorn]

do i get it permanently

[edgy fable]

No

[timber acorn]

i mean make it limited for everyone. take it away from those who have it after the event ends

[edgy fable]

Wait, IDK. No info on that

[kind veldt]

it's a bounty it gets consumed

[shy yoke]

So I just killed Keener on realistic mode is there anything else to do after that?

[tropic breach]

I did claim them both and I wanted to recalibrate the alejandro and I cant see it on the station list

[kind veldt]

not really, isnt made for farming loot so there is nothing to progress or farm

[shy yoke]

I was just wondering if you can progress the difficulty feel like control points and find all the mods and guns

[kind veldt]

control points are one and done and doesnt have most mods or weapons

[shy yoke]

Sucks fun little mode maybe we'll get more in the future

[ashen moat]

does the pulse from the heartbreaker set count as a status effect? noob question i know, i was doing some testing and it didnt seem like the pressure point talent was doing more damage with it on

[edgy fable]

Pulse is not categorized as status effect

[ashen moat]

😮

[kind veldt]

think of it as a debuff instead

[ashen moat]

its kinda its own thing huh? so then the flatline talent is what i would want? Since it specifies pulsed enemies

[lunar hare]

Basically yeah

[edgy fable]

Yeah, the usual combo

[brave idol]

And if you put a laser pointer to your weapon ( technican spec) you can pulse enemies just by targeting

[icy cobalt]

Is there a list of new stuff returning players may have missed someone said you can turn guns into talents some how or train them? Also I looked up weapon builds but I'm not great at always headshotting so what about a burst down guy LMG or AR?

[kind veldt]

you might wanna start from when you last played

[icy cobalt]

I was doing the 'raids' when i last played

[kind veldt]

was the second one already out?

[icy cobalt]

basically end game

2nd DLC? no

[kind veldt]

second raid

[icy cobalt]

Yes

[kind veldt]

okay, the gun thing is probably just the library you might remember

[icy cobalt]

Library does come to mind now you said that

[kind veldt]

you take something from an item and add to library that you can then put it on other stuff

[icy cobalt]

Found it

[kind veldt]

once it's on the library you cna use it as many times as you want it

for builds in specific there is the #td2-build-advice just for that

[sand pier]

it is worth it to buy new york and brooklyn ?

[jagged prism]

do you want 2 named items and 5 skills?

[kind veldt]

i say NY is kinda fun, the skills are good i think

brooklyn is kinda basic

both depends a lot on how much you like replaying semi long missions

[jagged prism]

how much you like them 5 skills in your builds

[tired nymph]

For some reason Ubisoft connect is very laggy and crashes itself in-game, there were two really great teammates that ran the Anderson mission on Heroic with me but I still can't add them.

It's been this way since the new update, I'm not sure if it's a common bug or something that's rare.

[jagged prism]

least you're playing the game properly and adding friends looks at empty friends list 😹

keep it that way as i don't when i'll get fed up with div 2 and disappear 😹

[ashen moat]

are there any other spreadsheets that are more up to date on attachments , blueprints , etc for acquisition and so on? some of these ive been finding seem a bit outdated

[edgy fable]

This one is up to date

iKia's exotic sourcing info guide

Idk what you want for attachments tho

[ashen moat]

thank you

[edgy fable]

Like the basic weapon attachments?

[ashen moat]

yeah like the "mods" on weapons , barrel grip mag etc

[edgy fable]

IDK if there is one. You get them from control point farming in no particular order, they drop with RNG.

IIRC challenging and heroic only? Someone correct me if I'm wrong

[ashen moat]

right right, but ive noticed that there are side missions that drop specific ones

[edgy fable]

I think they can drop from side missions too. Same as blueprints. Also daily/weekly projects

What I don't know if that refers to certain blueprints or if it can be any as well. I really don't remember after such a long time

[mighty girder]

I find it annoying how the heartbreaker effect doesn't have the gear set color

[kind veldt]

weapon mods havent been added to the game since release

at most you have just the pistol flashlight

and the spec ones that are well in the spec trees

so it's all control points and side missions

[ashen moat]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VToOgkMNmpS24qtmltJXtkX3jBpCjwpe51v6CGGGIJ4/edit?gid=0#gid=0 so this is still accurate and relevant?

[kind veldt]

yeah

[ashen moat]

cool tyvm

[dark wolf]

quick question... is the sheriff shotgun not obtainable anymore?\

[mighty girder]

no, you can get it by doing general anderson manhunt

guaranteed drop on finishing master difficulty, a small chance to drop it otherwise, but either way you can only get it in the mission

[dark wolf]

is that manhunt available to do?

[mighty girder]

yes

[dark wolf]

ok bet, thank you

[mighty girder]

it's at united ironworks

[dark wolf]

it tells me its unavailable... im startin fresh due to switchin to pc

[zealous hawk]

Hey so I'm just now returning. I played the game at launch and I got as far as the first raid wherever you get the liberator from.... What should I be working on now? I did all the black tusk company stuff on the main map also

I can pretty much go right into warlords right?

[dark wolf]

nvm i see it

[wispy dock]

I am currently looking at a freedom chicken.

[mighty girder]

liberator? that's a div 1 exotic, did you mean eagle bearer

[zealous hawk]

Yea lol

I just remember as soon as I got it from that first raid back at launch I pretty much stopped playing the game cuz there was no content

I want to get that lmg gear set

[wintry pasture]

I haven't did a raid in a very long time I wanted to know are raids complex like destiny be sometimes or nah not really

[mighty girder]

dark hours is relatively simple, iron horse is notably more complex

[wintry pasture]

Is it 8 people in the raid ?

[mighty girder]

yes

[wintry pasture]

Gotta try one this weekend

[mighty girder]

don't do discovery mode btw

discovery cuts out important mechanics and you learn nothing by doing it

[wise basalt]

if u paid for the event pass to get the other 3 outfits, do u still have to grind up to those lvls to claim them?

[mighty girder]

there's a lot of people running raids in the gcrock discord server, you can find it by googling

[wise basalt]

so buying the pass, u're paying for the privilege to grind, smh. And what if life happens during these 4 wks and u can't grind to those lvls to claim the outfit? Do u just waste the money or will the game still give them to you?

[edgy fable]

Wrong perspective. You buy it to get the premium outfits. If you get the 2k credits version you get a 20 level skip. Either way, the event goes four weeks so you have plenty time. Oh you CAN buy levels with premium credits if you really want to (don't, it's silly) but IDK the limit on that

[wise basalt]

right, but anything can happen in those 4 wks. so if something serious does come up in life (like a sudden death in the family) and u can't play, then it seems like u just wasted $20.

[edgy fable]

Why do the devs have to account for "what might happen" in your life? They're game devs, not an insurance company

It is also nowhere advertised that you instantly get the premium items, or all items for that matter

[proud ledge]

how do i get acess to the vcs here

[mighty girder]

they were removed

[edgy fable]

The VCs are gone, sadly

[wise basalt]

at first, I figure if u weren't able to complete it by the end of the timeframe, the game will still give u those items because u did pay for them in advance, but if it doesn't then as I said above, ur paying for the privilege to grind .

[edgy fable]

You have to grind the pass anyway. The anniversary premium bundle clearly advertises a 20 tier skip, nothing else. If you have different expectations and didn't read the relevant info, I'd say that is on you

You can look for ppl over in #lfg-pc 👍

[azure lintel]

I just want to verify something it could be my internet but it hasn't been a problem before but is anyone else lagging a little bit it not severe it just very minimal?

[edgy fable]

No lag here

Sometimes when you matchmake you end up in a different region. You can try to relog and see if that helps. Next step would be to restart your PC/modem/router and see if that makes a difference

[azure lintel]

Okay ill try that like it not like it a problem but some of my hits isn't hitting but I'm mean I'm on hard mode so no biggy lol

[midnight epoch]

If I were looking for someone with Houndsman Bounty for Quickstep which channel should I ask?

[ivory kayak]

Lfg pc. Idk if there's one. I see one for Xbox

But probably because I only play xb1. So ill only see xbox. Maybe you see a PC channel?
