[jagged prism]

don't quite understand your statement. all i'm saying they might run 20 retaliations and still no equalizer and will be disappointed with that game mode as well

[mighty girder]

how the hell is steamdb showing 27.4k players max on div 2

[jagged canyon]

I was just adding to your comment

[jagged prism]

bounties, think control points as well?

[hybrid viper]

I dont play on heroic unfortunately

[jagged prism]

they do have non heroic bounties and can just do control points on whatever world difficulty you play on

[granite oyster]

guys is oxpecker bugged or am i missing something?

talent says shield drain rate is 10% per second but mine takes abt 6 seconds to be destroyed

[night kelp]

wheres the snitch this week

[lunar hare]

random locations

[mental willow]

I have no idea I'm stuck on that one also

[lunar hare]

ox itself is bad

[hybrid viper]

What does weapon modifier does exactly? I obtained multiple of those from anni caches

[trim bough]

came back to the game can you still get the sheriff?

[hybrid viper]

Complete Master United Ironworks

[mighty girder]

actually any difficulty will work, but master will guarantee a drop on mission completion

[trim bough]

where is that located

[kind veldt]

iron horse raid

outside of DC

[trim bough]

ahhh

[kind veldt]

there going to be a manhunt icon next to it

[trim bough]

can it be done solo

[kind veldt]

sure, it's just going to be harder

[trim bough]

alright

[scenic barn]

very hard solo, i've been trying

i just bullshit failed pentco because of the game bugging after i finally did it, sigh

[summer folio]

Quick question, havent played since year 1, is skill build still the meta for darkzones?

[pastel olive]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1X87BwJv-I_58WAQh_bSDXRKNLBHTOi9Wtt4Bs6Pv7bY/edit?usp=drivesdk think it’s in here

[brave idol]

Looks like it combos with the new backpack

[hybrid viper]

Harrier pride look promising in a way

[fleet lark]

how to level up expertise im stuck on level 4

[kind veldt]

proficiency with multiple items/skills

[jagged prism]

probably still works, but the majority do headshot armor regen builds or some form of haz pro build

[pastel olive]

I just donate gear to expertise (in tinkering menu) if it doesn’t add to my library

[weak edge]

Hello, can someone point me to the best way to get Coyote mask? I am stuck at challenging right now.

[jagged prism]

think Jefferson Trade Center has a boss named Coyote is one way, otherwise it's countdown/retaliations with masks as targeted loot

[weak edge]

Ty. Yeah I can't do countdowns yet and I never find groups

[pastel olive]

This shouldn’t be an issue if you’re matchmaking on challenging

[weak edge]

I did and waited for about 20 mins and gave up

[jagged prism]

you gotta queue challenging minimum to find a group

[pastel olive]

Are you holding Z to accept the invite

[weak edge]

I will see what I can do. I am a returning player trying to find my way again

Invites do not come lol

[pastel olive]

Then you are doing something wrong idk man

[jagged prism]

odd, challenging countdown is usually full of players and invites should be coming left and right

[weak edge]

I will see about it again

[pastel olive]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Tc2UDqrX0vBw-f18opih3idHlueXN7ca2HSEP_yAZDM/edit?usp=drivesdk have you checked out the lvl 40 starter guide

[weak edge]

Oh I have tons of 40 gear, just old as hell

[jagged prism]

nods maybe the last time you played a guide like this didn't exist so it kind of helps now a days 😹

[weak edge]

Stash is almost full since I started again

[hybrid viper]

Stash got 500 I barely. Use the half 😂

[weak edge]

I think mine is 400 still

[lunar hare]

I bet 20 bucks that your stash is full of trash 😆

[jagged prism]

i filled mine up 😊

[jagged prism]

that's definitely me

[weak edge]

I have lots of old fenir and such, just for those older builds. I quit around Summit

[hybrid viper]

I know my friend has inventory like this:

140/150. 500/500

me: why do you have so much stuff

[young pewter]

What’s good everyone

[weak edge]

Good amount of exotics and building around chameleon

[jagged prism]

bored of division 2 count @young pewter ?

[young pewter]

@jagged prism im sorry?

[hybrid viper]

I used to rock Chamelon until St-Elmo Came around

[weak edge]

I am not sure i have st elmo yet

Lots of new gear I am trying to get but RNG hates me

[jagged prism]

ar gun that when you h it enough targets you get a magazine of shock ammo

beleive me you'd know if you've gotten it 😹

[hybrid viper]

Kinda sad they took off the Scope

[weak edge]

Neat. I do have eagle bearer but that doesn't seem to be used a lot now?

[jagged prism]

probably stictly a pvp build of some sort

[weak edge]

Sorry I hate pvp lol

[jagged prism]

way back before wony and gear 1.0 eagle bearer was the gun for every build

[weak edge]

That's how old my account is then lol

[jagged prism]

so you remember every agent was a sharpshooter then? 😹

[hybrid viper]

Imagine telling therr was a event you could get EB without partake in Raid

same for Regulus

[weak edge]

Yes

[jagged prism]

yes and people still complain i open xxx caches no eb no regulus no ravenous! wtf massive?! and rage on

[weak edge]

I like my M1A and head shots.

[mighty girder]

No way they would do something so crazy

[hybrid viper]

Krampus event was one of that event

[jagged prism]

then we tell them. you know you probably would've gotten if faster you know doing the raids? but i can't find 7 people to run it! uh there are discords who run it still. where's the invite link to this discord? uh google it? that takes too much work and effort

[summer folio]

All i know is i remember y1 entering the dz, seeing rogue agents enter my area, then 2 seconds later a rollermine would turn me into a fine mist, wild times

[jagged prism]

me i see a solo agent. i go rogue then i'm on the ground becaus they had the negotiator's clutch gloves combo

[summer folio]

I didnt know that was a thing and im trying to do a status skill build

[jagged prism]

yeah, that was a long time ago wehn you had to be demolitionist to equip negotiator's dilemma and when your armor broke your armor lobbed explosive at who broke your armor

[tulip aurora]

does anyone know why i cant connect to the online services ?

any known issues ?

[jagged prism]

your computer is connected to the interweb? you've had your division 2 updated? you got room on your drive for updates?

[tulip aurora]

i was just playing and was disconnected but my internet is fine as im on discord with the same pc lol

[jagged prism]

ok just making sure. not sure if people use their phones for discord or maybe wifi? maybe your region is having some issues?

[tulip aurora]

idk seems like it. now i get this message ( Ubisoft services are not available at this time. please try again alter BRAVO-04 )

[jagged prism]

there are people who understand those errors so hopefully someone can come and tell you

[tulip aurora]

apparently this is a known issue when you have to restart the ubisoft connect. and it worked. lol

[edgy fable]

Next time that happens just wait a minute and reconnect. Usually works, no need to restart UbiConnect

[jagged prism]

but why sit idle when you can restart wasting more minutes to make something work? 😹 j/k but good to know honestly

[edgy fable]

Idk, grab your phone and browse some Facebook like it's 2010 while waiting

[jagged prism]

🤔 imagine if we asked someone if they tried to turn something off and on. they go through the process of turning the device off and if it's plugged in they also goto their powerbox and turn their whole home off and on

but i do tend to do that . along with jumping on youtube

[edgy fable]

Thing is, if you find something interesting it will take longer than a minute

[mighty girder]

Sometimes I ask questions here for the sake of asking questions

Even if I already know the answer

Idk why honestly

[edgy fable]

Good to know, saves me some time no longer responding to your questions

[mighty girder]

Dammit

[ruby cove]

Is there a way to fix the audio issue where it disables my guns noise/some ambient noise?

[edgy fable]

You just asked that in #ask-td2-community . That won't you get any quicker responses. Maybe try #unofficial-troubleshooting and have some patience

[jagged prism]

no that i know of, heard people wondering if there's a fix planned in the future for it
only issue i have is the radio audio doesn't come through, which was a good thing since companion chatter i heard was extremely annoying. all i hear is the radio crackle a lot and was like oh boy am i glad i can't hear that chatter 😹

[night chasm]

depends... for me if I get stuck on loading or get bravo'd after a delta I have to restart ubi connect. Even restarting game only doesn't work lol.

[ruby cove]

Unfortunate, it's very annoying having audio cut in and out.

[ashen moat]

what does Massive typically release when a new season starts?

[jagged prism]

my audio issue i assumed my new stereo is the culprit. so i chalked it up to that and didn't bother to try to fixinig it

[flat crypt]

did you figure it out, because I've crossed the bridge but nothing is happening

[jagged prism]

new gear set, brandset, exotic(s), named items, costmetics, audio logs 1 new mission for the climax

sicne theo parnell in DC mission (space HQ) new modifiers as well

[ruby cove]

My specific issue is when shooting it will either have audio or be completely muted except for impacts. And I've been running countdown a lot and the EI reinforcements heli doesnt have audio either lol

[ashen moat]

hmmmm do you think the update in april will be bigger since they also included the "revamped" verbage into their announcement as far as gear

[jagged prism]

i always ask people, is it on the trello board? did you report it in the proper places?

[jagged prism]

we may find out this week or next week. they typically usually have a Public Test Server (PTS) before releasing the new season where we get to play with the new goodies. it'll still lack the climax mission i believe? but you'll get a glimpse of all 8 journeys if you progress through them that weekend

[flat crypt]

Is there a bug with the makeshift bridge?

[jagged prism]

if it's concerning realism mode, couldn't tell ya as i haven't played it, probably won't either really

[flat crypt]

yeah, its realism mode

[edgy fable]

^ This. People need to report issues more via official channels

[jagged prism]

is it one of the get the shd tech cache but can't find a way to it? think someone mentioned you need only 4 for that or something, but that could also be another place

[zealous hawk]

What key binds do y'all recommend for mb 4 and 5? I have auto run on 4 and scope zoom on 5, but I actually mostly use tab for that

Maybe cover on mouse button 5 would be good

[ashen moat]

i do take cover dodge on mb5 dodge roll on MWU and swap shoulder on mb4

[jagged prism]

i just use autorun on 4

[zealous hawk]

I always forget about 3 cuz I hate pushing the scroll wheel lol

[jagged prism]

but i turned off auto vaulting too so it's almost pointless to autorun for me 😹

[edgy fable]

Melee / zoom for me

[zealous hawk]

Yea zoom on 5 is pretty nice and auto on 4. Trying cover on 3 scroll wheel

[jagged prism]

you melee? my character lets me have an earful after she breaks a nail meleeing 😱

[zealous hawk]

Yeah as a returning player I noticed melee is pretty useless huh? Lol all about the scope zoom with that button

[jagged prism]

we'll see next months revamp though 😹 maybe meleeing might be a thing we can do

[edgy fable]

Same keybind lol

[zealous hawk]

I switched vault to alt and that's nice, being right next to space bar

[jagged prism]

i cover to cover. sometimes my character will vault for that

[zealous hawk]

And armor to c is good too I've found

I don't hit C and v with my thumb like most lol

[ashen moat]

R for repair 😄

[zealous hawk]

O nice

[jagged prism]

would've been better if you had cookie monster emote 😹

[ashen moat]

okay question tho, do headshots and crits stack, and whats the math look like? if its 50% HS dmg and 100% Crit dmg is it 150% and what color would the damage be, orange or red?

[ivory kayak]

So finally after Weeks of trying for overdogs, finally get them, use them..and realize all roads really did lead to overdogs. And they look so dope too aside from being good

[meager pollen]

i just downloaded this game on PC why does everything look greyish even in the main menu

[jagged prism]

realism mode settings i'd guess

[native arrow]

HDR?

[meager pollen]

omg thank uu

[civic ravine]

It's kinda funny the total damage spreadsheet after a mission goes negative because of the int 32 bits limitations

[small spear]

if you deal 1 dmg as base

1.5 damage if you headshot no crit
2 damage if you crit no headshot
2.5 damage if you crit and headshot

basically hsd and crit dmg add to same multiplier, so it's 2.5x if you get both

[ashen moat]

Thank you for the formula

[earnest python]

did they buff the amount of currency drop on countdown ?

getting a lot more than i use too

[jagged prism]

not sure, they may have increased it a smidge?

wait until you run the Countdown (edit: overdrive) Event

[earnest python]

i remember when i had to run multiple amounts of countdown even on heroic and only got like most mediocore amount imaginable

if its permanent uhh keep it please lol

[jagged prism]

your mind will be blown when that happens

[earnest python]

word

that will be fun im guessing crossplay in april right ?

[jagged prism]

cross play probably not for a long time

about i think we got sometime in 2026 so soon™

[edgy fable]

New season in April but no official info on a date for xplay

[jagged prism]

but we do know, no cross save or progression. yannick said "no" when it was asked in stream

just throwing that tidbit in there as people think Crossplay coming so their next question would be what about cross save/progression? or they just assume all 3 will be added because it's part of cross play

oh, there was also a tweet. Cross play will be toggable along wtih a message they got a PVP director who's going to improve their tools vs cheaters

[edgy fable]

The toggle makes sense

[pearl wedge]

Ninjabike backpack is a myth at this point lmao

[earnest python]

is xplay crossplay for short ?

[jagged prism]

would it have been better ✝️ play?

[earnest python]

idk lol never seen it be said like that before haha

[pastel olive]

Are you referring to our lord and savior, mr @small spear

[final elbow]

dark zone level 30 is dead as hell

[edgy fable]

Good opportunity to farm Yaahl gear :p

[final elbow]

i guess but theres no resistance

[marsh jacinth]

ive been stuck so long 🙁

[kind veldt]

#lfg-pc

[marsh jacinth]

more exposure here plz

[pastel olive]

?

[marsh jacinth]

I need help with a heroic quest im on final boss

[pastel olive]

Your last message was 29 days ago, wdym exposure

[marsh jacinth]

Im on about

exposure for my LFG message - more people check general then the LFG

[jagged prism]

probably got redirected to LFG by mod but they're like "shrug more activity here though"

just like people who has other issues with the game they post in multiple channels the same question 😹

[marsh jacinth]

usually works most of the time but its late

[pastel olive]

Am I going crazy, they don’t have any messages in #lfg-pc either

[jagged prism]

probably ignoring the channel

[pastel olive]

Where are you posting

[marsh jacinth]

are you special

[jagged prism]

you know the saying "it takes one to know one"?

[pastel olive]

Searching your name in #lfg-pc has 0 results

[marsh jacinth]

well we can both be special together

[jagged prism]

no thanks. i do enjoy being on this server

[kind veldt]

this channel isnt for LFG, you can also use call for backup

let's do that before saying something stupid

[marsh jacinth]

no one answering call for backup 🙁

i apologise but some people ask silly questions

[kind veldt]

dont

[marsh jacinth]

its the art musuem its so flipping annoying

[pastel olive]

Have you tried #lfg-pc

[jagged prism]

was on and i saw no call for help in game but then again i wasn't paying attention as i was only on to take pics of smart cover mods that i managed to get

[marsh jacinth]

I put it in the wrong chat i apologise

[edgy fable]

Join the GCROCK discord for LFG, best LFG community imo

[marsh jacinth]

i put it in raid...

[pastel olive]

Ah that might explain it haha

[jagged prism]

also art museum, maybe not a lot of people own BFB so it might be not enough on with BFB that can help ya

[edgy fable]

Plenty ppl own it, nobody likes that mission tho

[jagged prism]

remind me of it? i only remember army terminal 🤮

[edgy fable]

Rat Queen shield boss fight

[jagged prism]

OOOOOOHHHHHHHH!!!!! yeah.....

[pastel olive]

Oh that one SUCKS

[orchid trench]

was there a server restart?

[shy yoke]

Check out Destiny fashion if you want to see my new Trooper

Rate me!

[edgy fable]

It's not hard tho with a PfE build and knowing how the fight works. Just leave one regular NPC besides the Rat Queen and the NPC waves stop spawning. Makes it easier to fight her

[jagged prism]

<-not logged in so i can't say
could be just your region

[pastel olive]

Wat

[pastel olive]

Did you get hacked

[shy yoke]

https://discord.com/channels/477210626742288384/940174563965276170

[jagged prism]

i'm too dumb. i'll kill all adds and just make due 😹

[shy yoke]

No why?

[edgy fable]

Just making it harder on yourself :p

[pastel olive]

did divashion autocorrect to destiny fashion haha

[jagged prism]

i do that a lot. ask dien how our legendary zoo went 😹

[pastel olive]

That’s something someone who got hacked would say… 👀👀

Jk it’s just the way you said it reminded me of someone who lost their account a while back

[edgy fable]

I ain't downloading random images, no vote from me. Sry

[pastel olive]

Also that haha

[jagged prism]

yeah, downloading image and putting exposure to it. pretty sus 🤔

[pastel olive]

Chat he went silent maybe I was right

Which might be unfortunate because I opened the image

[edgy fable]

Did your screen flicker for a split second and you saw a CMD prompt? 😂

[jagged prism]

what if it opened and hypnotized Donky?

[pastel olive]

Don’t click on anything I may or may not post in #divashion in the near future

[earnest python]

whats the modiefier in my inventory ?

[pastel olive]

Can you be more specific or post a picture in #ask-td2-community

[edgy fable]

No modifier atm

[blazing terrace]

Does the Realism mode support clans? not seeing the option for clans

[edgy fable]

Coming season again

[jagged prism]

currently disabled, but april we'll get new ones

[earnest python]

bet

[jagged prism]

doubtful as march 27th rolls around it'll cease to exist

[blazing terrace]

Ah that sucks, much more fun to play realism than normal

[jagged prism]

in the stream it was asked if it was permanent. think Yannick said something along the lines that it may come back, kind of a "if it's a hit to the player we'll bring it back" or maybe they'll do another area like BFB or even DC or all 3

[stone wind]

TIL that the voice actress for Faye Lau plays Lucy Chen in the Rookie...

[pastel olive]

THATS why I recognize her

[blazing terrace]

Oh, so do you know if the Realism characters get migrated to normal or just gets deleted at the end of event?

[stone wind]

My mind is blow

[jagged prism]

probably just goes poof as it doesn't take a character slot to begin with

just like Warlords of New York if you don't own will also disappear. it's free for the duration of the realism mode so people can play and give feedback on the realism mode

🤔 come to think of it. what's the chances when realism mode ends people who own WONY loses access to it?

[fleet lark]

what’s the best smg rn?

[jagged prism]

there's no best anything, think for a season people loved the Purist (SMG-9 i think?)

[ashen moat]

might i ask for a consensus on the honey badger? i like that it has a high RPM and high base damage , im assuming the tradeoff is no barrel mod but it still feels strong with its base stats regardless of that

[edgy fable]

Depends. What you looking for?

[jagged prism]

i liked it but yeah no barrel mod made me dismantle it

[edgy fable]

Also, better to ask that in #td2-build-advice

[ashen moat]

noted

[ashen moat]

synchronized responses teehee? so youre saying the barrel mod alone is > the base damage and stats of HB

[edgy fable]

I didn't read your post, I meant the other one above. They're probably gonna get asked about their build

[ashen moat]

ah my bad

[edgy fable]

You're all good 😄

[ashen moat]

might i ask your opinion on the honey badger?

[edgy fable]

Uh

[ashen moat]

i just really like the high base stats in terms of RoF stab, acc, and dmg

[hybrid viper]

Honey badger? Not bad as gun

[edgy fable]

I think it's alright up to medium range

I dislike it only has three mod slots

[jagged prism]

me too. missing that extra chance or damage mod just kind of hurts builds if you ask me

[ashen moat]

well, i primarily use it in mid - close because it has a high rpm and dmg i just use a mmr in other scenarios so i dont mind the range, but yes the 1 less mod slot can play a part in decision making which i know ultimately comes down to build style

[jagged prism]

@ashen moat revamp in april might change that depending what they have in store for us

[ashen moat]

trueeee , we dont know what theyre cooking up over there

[edgy fable]

IIRC the accuracy isn't that great, hence the range limitation. But I haven't used it in a long time

[jagged prism]

tweet only indicated revamped gears and weapons. some people think we might have revamped specializations since it was on their table a few years ago

[edgy fable]

The named one comes with Perfect Close & Personal, pretty fitting for that AR that's more like an SMG 😄

[ashen moat]

65% base accuracy with 80% stab, i just throw the weapon handling sight on it and call it good

[ashen moat]

right but 7m feels so close and i dont like that , because it feels like i might as well run an SMG at that range

[jagged prism]

why not a shotgun at that range so all pellets hits and does a 💩 ton of damage?

[ashen moat]

because im an AR enthusiast 👿

[edgy fable]

Me neither

[ashen moat]

also when i compared it to other top tier AR's like the carbine it actually beats it out in base dmage and Rof, but the drawback was one less mod slot

thats why i think it can contend if you can compensate for that fact

[jagged prism]

carbine isn't in the top i dont' think
it's Police M4, Lexington, Famas and F2K

[ashen moat]

i cant copy pasta the windows screenshot for some reason but the base damage on HB is higher (https://thedivision.fandom.com/wiki/Honey_Badger) https://thedivision.fandom.com/wiki/M4/Tom_Clancy's_The_Division_2

and the RPm is 50 lower whereas the stab and accuracy trade values on the respective AR's

[jagged prism]

yeah, this channel has no picture perms, so you'd ahve to throw it in like the community or advice, this would probalby be community

[edgy fable]

Police M4 and Carbine 7 work well for mid-long range, HB can't keep up with that

[ashen moat]

because of the base damage drop off range? err optimal range?

[amber kayak]

so i just hit lvl 40 last night and got loosely acquainted with all of the stuff that just opens up at 40, and im wondering what my first goal should be, should i try and get a solid build set up first to start tackling things with (not min maxed ofc but like the main pieces of a coherent build), should i just go "what i have is good enough rn" and start new york, or something else im not thinking of
also is there an in game menu or something where i can actually see the listed sets/set effects? the targeted loot is really cool but its hard to plan anything out when i cant see what anything does and just have a symbol to go off of

[jagged prism]

oh?
i know i make some honorable mentions of carbine as it's a laser when it shoots too, just the damage is low

fresh 40 link
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Tc2UDqrX0vBw-f18opih3idHlueXN7ca2HSEP_yAZDM/edit?tab=t.0

[edgy fable]

I don't have the base damage in my head, I just know they both work better than the HB

[ashen moat]

my counterargument to this is that carbine = to HB range , and M4 is +3M

i got you , HB is 51,261 m4 46,908 carbine 49,790

[rose sable]

best bet is to look up the sets on google.

[jagged prism]

facepalms i read HB as heartbreaker then it donned on me 💡 he meant honey badger i'll go hide now

[edgy fable]

My bad ig

[ashen moat]

im just arguing that honey badger is a slept on AR because it has high base values in terms of dmg rpm and range, but youre trading away an extra barrel mod

[hybrid viper]

Between all of 3 which is most accurate base

[amber kayak]

thats definitely not gonna get annoying after a while with how many sets there are lol

[jagged prism]

no no, my brain just read it as Heartbreaker 😹 too many shorthands 😹

[ashen moat]

Honey badger

[hybrid viper]

I pick gun if it has high accuracy and low recoil

[ashen moat]

ditto, hence why i think honey badger is good, on top of the other base values

[hybrid viper]

I will try it out tomorrow

[edgy fable]

If I hadn't upgraded my Lexington to 30 expertise I'd still use my Police M4 as favorite AR for 90% of situations

[ashen moat]

lexington is an oddity tho imo , its a named m4 that is just S tier in everything , if it was available iwould get it and immediately start testing vs HB

[hybrid viper]

Idk what Savage Wolverine has perfecf talent as (since jm pretty sure it was Hb named variant)

[ashen moat]

Close and Personal

[edgy fable]

Police M4 is also S tier

[jagged prism]

@edgy fable mentioned it up above Close and Personal, @ashen moat mentions the 7m range it has

[ashen moat]

right, it is but WHY ?

[hybrid viper]

Ahhhh an that ar might come handy for Assault Event

[jagged prism]

easily obtained and shoots like a laser. lexington only does 1% more damage than police M4

[rose sable]

i mean welcome to a 7 year old game, we dont have the QOL of games made today

[edgy fable]

Goated AR overall

[rose sable]

high dmg, accurate, low recoil, good stats, decent reload

[ashen moat]

all of these are true, and similarly true and or greater for the honeybadger just one less mod slot

[rose sable]

you just answered your own question, one less mod slot

[amber kayak]

honestly the main important thing that i needed from this is now i know where i can get the strikers set, i knew it was basically one of if not the best in the game but not where to get it/if it was on the map
pretty caught up on tinkering/library, main thing past that is knowing what pieces w/ what stats are important finds for xyz builds which this has a link to

[ashen moat]

right but my question is why isnt HB considered a top tier AR , if you can just roll Crit chance on the attribute slot and it perform just as well if not better than the aftermentioned AR's

[jagged prism]

like i said i skip it because i have less crit chance/damage on it. i thougth CTAR was like that too but realize it was probably because of Link Laser Pointer for hearbreaker pulse

[ashen moat]

im just trying to make constructive coversation as i learn the game is all 🙂 ❤️

[amber kayak]

i mean theres a lot of QoL that i can see vs the first time i played when i got to 30 then stopped way back when warlords was brand new
its just this specific thing is one youd think would be added at some point during those years considering how important it would be for planning your farming

[ashen moat]

and idc for the short term answers from the meta slaves

[jagged prism]

just know every midnight PST that i know of, the target loot gets swapped out in all the maps. Countdown/Summit/Retaliations are the only places you can set it yourself so they're the gotos for builds. summit not as much as countdown/retlaitaions though but the target loot setting is there

[rose sable]

Honey Badger is lower dmg per bullet, one less mod is less total stats.

[ashen moat]

than what? the m4?

[rose sable]

yes less dmg than m4

[ashen moat]

it deals 5k more base damage with 50 less rpm than the m4

[magic root]

Hi, sooooooo i am having some problems in the final fight against Keener... like he DOESN'T LEAVE the tiny room of his... even when i K.o myself... ( i am on realist mode)

[jagged prism]

imagine all the console peasants, coughs i meant console players screaming for joy when Cross play coming soon™

[real field]

anyone have the houndman bounty for quick step

[amber kayak]

yeah im familiar with it already considering ive been playing every time the server reset the last few days lmfao

[rose sable]

okay if let me just put it this way, mathmatically it is worse. if you are going to just argue every FACT about it, theirs no helping you I dont know what to tell you dude.

[amber kayak]

daily server refreshes are new to me tho, not played a game that does that

[ashen moat]

im not arguing a fact i just want to understand how the math equates to it doing less damage in this instance

[jagged prism]

that missing barrel mod which most people put chance or damage on

[hybrid viper]

Barrel or Muzzle?

[jagged prism]

i don't know guns so to me barrel mod, could be muzzle, but it's missign 1 mod period which drops your damage a bit

[hybrid viper]

Yeah thats a fair point to. Each to their preference.

[ashen moat]

right which is why im trying to understand if the base damage and high rpm of it is = or > than losing the 1 mod slot on the muzzle

[hybrid viper]

I usually i only pick gun ig their accuracy spread are low and Low Recoil and good dmg output

[ashen moat]

@rose sable again im not trying to argue, im a new player trying to minmax builds with weapons i prefer and i just want to understand why the meta weapons are, the way they are

and in comparison if im losing lets say 10% damage or 1-3%

[hybrid viper]

At the end of day. Pick what you want to use

[jagged prism]

it's the math part
a gun that has 4 mods that last mod adding extra chance or damage as a player needs for their build
the honey badger missing that = needing a gear with a mod slot (chill out for 2 mods, improvised in the gloves/knees/holster) to compensate that missing chance damage but meaning losing 1 extra damage from brandset to add 1 extra mod for more damage math wise

[rose sable]

basically look at it like this, if you lose 5% crit rate, and you have say 70% crit dmg, that means 5% of the time you are losing 70% extra dmg.

[hybrid viper]

Like me when I first started I stick with p416 and then Swtiched to M4 and then st-elmo bc how reliable and viable for me to use em

[rose sable]

also if you really like honeybadger, run it, you dont need to be 100% top tier meta to compete with those builds.

[jagged prism]

i was on the p416 for the longest time then i was introduced to MK16 and just recently went to m4/lexington

[rose sable]

ive been farming for a decent m4 or elmos all day with no luck haha

[jagged prism]

all we can tell you is that 1 missing mod slot makes people not look at it as an option

[hybrid viper]

Like my OD build. I use mk46 instead of mg5, or stoner veteran. Sure i lose in some aspect but I stick with a gun that I can really control better

[ashen moat]

thank you, this i can understand, my thought process then is to roll a HB with crit chance to counteract this, or is that also a wasted stat and i would want dtoc or dta instead?

[jagged prism]

i do like stoner and GR9 but frenzied 😹

[hybrid viper]

Oh I run that. Sadist and Frenzie.

[rose sable]

ill be honest, i could sit down and write out the math behind the stats like crit and show you exactly how much dmg per shot it ends up being. but honestly that sounds horrible to do right now lol.

[jagged prism]

you go chance to counter act that you lose out on the DTOC multiplicative damage

[rose sable]

dmg out of cover is probably best stat to get

[jagged prism]

now if it came with that intead of dh then it'd probably be one that people would use especially with coyote's mask

[rose sable]

like sure you could put crit on it but then you lose 10% dmg from something like DTOOC

[ashen moat]

i do run coyotes mask for pve with heartbreaker, this is a consideration

[jagged prism]

then you can take up Fox's prayer and smart cover to counteract not having dtooc on it

[rose sable]

exactly, it ends up being a trickle down loss of dmg

[ashen moat]

right you have to make up for the no access to a barrel mod somewhere else, but i was under the impresion that that lied within the high base damage, accuracy , stab, and rpm, / the rest of the high base stats on the weapon

[ashen moat]

true

[rose sable]

you also want to remember, this game is 7 years old, if something becomes meta, its pretty safe to just believe that its better haha. after this amount of time the min max is figured out

[ashen moat]

also true, just trying to be innovative and non conformist : P

but it would be hard to be innovative at this point in the game

[rose sable]

no one on the planet at this point is gonna innovate our loot pool, without new items being added.

[jagged prism]

<-i don't understand the math of the game. i just go by feel by putting build together. make adjustments until i find that balance i like for the build

[ashen moat]

so heres to hoping the update in april shakes things up

[shrewd cosmos]

What's the fastest way to farm event xp? New character weekly shd project or priority missions?

[small trout]

anybody playing?

[rose sable]

and againt, dont ever feel like you have to use the meta, just figure out what works for you.

[jagged prism]

priority objectives strongholds no strongholds missions

[wheat sluice]

Anyone doing New York hunters?

[rose sable]

technically the fasts xp is NBA farm by miles

[hybrid viper]

All that you just mentioned

[jagged prism]

probalby plenty of people playing, can check or post something in LFG-PC

[jagged prism]

this message will get deleted as it's an "exploit" mods enforce mentions of this

[shrewd cosmos]

Faster than 1k per new character weekly project?

[hybrid viper]

Nba?

[jagged prism]

year 1 pass classified mission

[rose sable]

its 500xp every 2 to 3 mins with an okay group.

[shrewd cosmos]

NBA is for exp right? Not event xp?

[rose sable]

event xp as well

[shrewd cosmos]

You can clear strongholds on 2-3 mins?

[jagged prism]

word of advice stop the convo and go DM before mods wake up and delete messages

[calm dust]

Can someone help me get the quickstep?

[rose sable]

fair haha

[jagged prism]

messages getting deleted 😹

[hybrid viper]

I feel like this is a Deja vu. Asking abojt Xp farm thing

[toxic musk]

Basketball

Crazy that Space Jam invented basketball, tbh

[undone timber]

National Basketball Association or smth

[hybrid viper]

Man I wonder what will the Next season will be about

[rose sable]

honestly i have no idea how i havent gotten a killer or a dmg out of cover m4 at this point, or an elmos.

[jagged prism]

Rising up to the Challenge

[undone timber]

well we know the climax will be at DARPA

[hybrid viper]

As in Modifier theme I mean

[undone timber]

so im assuming heavily focused on BT

[toxic musk]

Manny gets domed by a Warhound, Schaeffer eats a crumpet and Autumn finally starts her Rugby team

[hybrid viper]

It is BT. Next season.

[toxic musk]

It would be so cool if there was Black Tusk themed armour in the season pass, eh?

[hybrid viper]

Outcast is too much on a Dying ash. Hyena is on the dirth with no council
TS is fractured.

So Back to BT trail next season

[toxic musk]

No, no. Outcasts should be destroyed, Hyena's still have that Zodiac fella and the True Sons have joined the WINNING team

Y'know. Unless they're the stupid section of the True Sons

[hybrid viper]

Well true son are pretty much still fighting each other

[toxic musk]

True Siblings

[hybrid viper]

Who’s zodiac again?

[toxic musk]

CEO of the Hyena's

The only Council member we haven't turned into a statistic

[jagged prism]

i take it that was the companions we've obtained? 😹

[toxic musk]

I will say though. Playing Div 1 makes me mildly annoyed that we can't swap between all the grenades in Div 2 without swapping specialisation

[hybrid viper]

Refresh my memo but when were learned or heard of Zodiac? Throuhh. Whay comm or mission?

[toxic musk]

I think Zodiac has been mentioned since the start, I can't think of any specific point where they're outright mentioned at current though, sorry

God I can't wait for Zodiac to just end up being The Manager or something

[small trout]

is there a voice chat we all can chill and talk in?

[hybrid viper]

Bank Headquarter was mostly Ellis, Mayhem.

Washington hotel was abojt Saint and Odessa daughter

Dua on Dime, diesel

JTC Is Coyote and espienoza

So idr if any of these hyena mission has the tab on Zodiac

[undone timber]

Not in this server

[hybrid viper]

Am I forgetting a Hyena mission here?

[jagged prism]

i felt we had htem at one time, but mods assured me this server never had them. probably because tehy can't exactly moderate them it turns into he/she said with nothing to back it up

[undone timber]

Ig you could count manhunt space admin?

[hybrid viper]

which is Bichon

[jagged prism]

hated fighting that guy at first 😹

[undone timber]

🏹

[hybrid viper]

what? Bichon?

[toxic musk]

Like the dog?

[jagged prism]

yes, had the modifires on so i was shooting myself in the foot mostly 😹

[wispy dock]

I am hungry again.

[toxic musk]

Hello Hungry Again

[wispy dock]

Damn you.

[toxic musk]

I am Manny, as usual

[wispy dock]

May you be hunted down by 10 Harrison’s.

[snow wharf]

how long is the restart?

[toxic musk]

Mmm, free loot

[hybrid viper]

I havent completed

Shade of Red yet

[jagged prism]

probably your region mostly

[snow wharf]

daaaamn

[undone timber]

was that kelso

[hybrid viper]

No thays Theo Parnell

[undone timber]

ah

[hybrid viper]

Vanguard and Burden of truth those are Kelso

[jagged prism]

explains why you didn't know about the modifiers for bischon 😹

[undone timber]

fun mission

[toxic musk]

Burger of Truth?

[undone timber]

even more fun on master

[jagged prism]

which one?

[hybrid viper]

Bc I haent played since Broken Wing until Returned to Crossroad

[undone timber]

modifiers for that season were kinda terrible but i liked the concept better

[toxic musk]

That's the one with the Hunters (plural), right?

[hybrid viper]

Burden of Truth season yes.

[undone timber]

more akin to the old UG directives as opposed to straight up buffs

[toxic musk]

As opposed to Hunter (singular)

[jagged prism]

the one from 2 seasons ago sucked 😹

[undone timber]

space admin

[hybrid viper]

Crossroad?

Witnt he blue red yellow bar thing?

[undone timber]

yeah master kelso always spawns 4 regardless of group size

[wispy dock]

Master?

[jagged prism]

believe so if that was the range indicators

[jagged prism]

difficulty between Heroic and Legendary

[hybrid viper]

Ahhh Thats the Season i got introduced Backfire build

[jagged prism]

Space Admin HQ Theo Parnell was the first one for this

[undone timber]

ah that was the first set

[jagged prism]

yes, i hated that as it took me too long to understand where that extra damage was coming from

[undone timber]

lowkey terrible but i preferred it when they were something you had to play around

[hybrid viper]

I forgot what even ws The Crossroad Season modifier theme was even about

[toxic musk]

I remember you could get full armour or ammo

[hybrid viper]

All I remember is Pick enemy with O triangle or blue squre to fill your bar. And freeze thing for x seconds

[toxic musk]

third thing
Probably refreshing abilities

All I remember from that is being blessed by non glitchy Keiko fight

[jagged prism]

all i remember was anyting close to you, you refelcted your own damage back to you 😹 died to that so many times

pestilience kind of took care of that for me

[hybrid viper]

Force to restart twice bc boss just dont spawn 🗿

Of boss Stop spawnjng on second phase

[jagged prism]

like what people experience in realism with keener?

[hybrid viper]

😂

[toxic musk]

Evil Keiko Nakama be like: works

[jagged prism]

how many build are going to be out where people are at 6 skill tiers with little effort? edit: tomorrow

[toxic musk]

I'm happy with my tier 3

[hybrid viper]

Oh right trch overdrive is coming soon.

[toxic musk]

I'm more excited for the Crit boost event

[hybrid viper]

+25% chc cap. Right?

[toxic musk]

Yes

[fickle moat]

Server restarting in 34 min 😭

[jagged prism]

something like that i believe

[jagged prism]

just your region

[toxic musk]

I got that 80% Crit Chance. Hoo-rah

[hybrid viper]

85

[toxic musk]

Plus the other weapon boosts

Oh god. I think I might be able to hit 500% Crit Damage

[edgy fable]

You'll be able to join another one

No maintenance

[hybrid viper]

Abd then proceed to deal 4M per shot

[fickle moat]

🙏 good

[toxic musk]

I believe Ambush will also be active

[jagged prism]

for redline? no it'll be assault close range damage

[hybrid viper]

While the Chc cap event is on?

[undone timber]

Assault is even more busted than ambush

Well, was

[jagged prism]

does it show the percentage increase in game?

[toxic musk]

I blame Kelso (she had to go)

[quick smelt]

best way to get eagle bearer?

[hybrid viper]

Assault and Redline. Getting really “close and Personal” in literal sense

[toxic musk]

The Raid, at current

[undone timber]

Nah, in div1 it was 200% percent amp tho or close

[jagged prism]

Dark Hours raid, extremely slim chance in dz regardless of target loot but you still have to extract it safely

[quick smelt]

on normal yeah?

[jagged prism]

otherwise wait 4+ months for next stretch goals and complain about not getting it in those caches

[quick smelt]

cheers, just started playing again, havent played since launch

[jagged prism]

but yeah normal dark hours, tip you can play it on 4 agents each week or more if you're going to do the delete agents and run it again on them as many times until you get it

think people opened 100's of those stretch goal caches for particular drops and not getting it

[hybrid viper]

Krampus cache no?

[jagged prism]

that was christmas event different from stretch goals

[real field]

can someone help me get quickstep

i am on pc

[hybrid viper]

Did the First Rogue season has Master diff? [Keener in Fed Bunker]

[jagged prism]

if you're patient @lunar hare will be able to hook you up later, otherwise lfg-pc or streamer discord like GCRock

[jagged prism]

nah, Theo Parnell Space Admin was the first master difficulty then the rest upto the last one were the only ones they made

[real field]

alr thanks

[hybrid viper]

I heard Provocator chest piece is from there how is it as an exotic?

[jagged prism]

not useful really. you get damge resistence to how many people are targeting you think upto 4? which also affects your decoy skill. i couldn't find a good use for it honestly

[hybrid viper]

Sound pretty a bummer exotic for a master difficulty

[jagged prism]

same as the harrier backpack exotic but slower stacks to the damage resistence

[hybrid viper]

Eww…….

[wispy dock]

I am currently eating pizza.

[hybrid viper]

Hi Curreently eating pizza. I am Doktah.

[sacred schooner]

This equalizer won’t drop after many runs of countdown

[hybrid viper]

Oof Cursed RNG

[edgy fable]

Run some more

[sacred schooner]

Bet

[grave timber]

Or play master Theo

[sacred schooner]

It helped as well to max the proficiency for the brand

Been slacking on expertise

[grave timber]

With the global event active and someone on the team with crossbow you can easily beat it

[hybrid viper]

Proficiency surge is coming soon as well

[amber kayak]

with the event ending soon what exactly should i dump whatever stars i have into as a new player

[hybrid viper]

Exotic cache, Named, Recab, Rest

In that order

[amber kayak]

thought so

[hybrid viper]

I have 450 star to spend thats gonna be lot of X and Lot of Hold Square……

[jagged prism]

shame, on pc we can double click cache and it opens and we can spam space bar to go through them quickly

[rotund cairn]

Made a new character. Looking for people to create streaming content with.

[hybrid viper]

Man if only they had done a QoL for the caches

[jagged prism]

LFG in your platform flavor

[sacred schooner]

This game teasing fr

Gave me a Unit chestpiece with obliterate

[jagged prism]

imagine unicorn pieces. 2 color attributes. you get excited you can finally have that long yearning to complete your build with a piece that drops armor or skill tier an change it to weapon damage but it's some odd headshot damage or weapon handling or with crit chance or crit damage or both hsd/wh and you just want to punch your monitor 😹

or you do get chance and damage but a skill talent on chest/backpack

[last crag]

anyone know of a way to unsoft lock Aaron keener fight where hes stuck in the box?

[jagged prism]

or realism mode? no clue

[last crag]

normal mode

[rose sable]

i guess ima get back to the AR grind lol

[lunar hare]

my time has come 🥴

[atomic dome]

Is the game good solo?

[rose sable]

yeh its a good time

[lunar hare]

ofc

[atomic dome]

Oh ok, I have had a few people say its bad solo

[lunar hare]

it's not

[edgy fable]

To me it's a multiplayer game firstly. But you can very well play solo

[rose sable]

its like $10 for everything right now, give it a try.

[atomic dome]

It's $3

I played it a little, its good so far

[fluid meadow]

well

[rose sable]

its 3 for base game

[fluid meadow]

there is quite the amount of content that is simply inaccessable if solo

[hybrid ore]

$10 for the gold edition, $15 for the "Everything and 1k in premium currency" one.

[fluid meadow]

or better to say not doable like raids incursions countdown and such

[rose sable]

you can just queue into random teams though

[atomic dome]

Prob what I'll do

[fluid meadow]

i was under the assumption solo as in literally solo

[hybrid ore]

You just matchmake for Countdown to find a team, Challenging is the most popular difficulty for sure.
Raids/Incursions are the only things that you really need a proper team made for.
the bulk of players in div2 just go for the rest of the stuff though, like Retaliations/Missions, etc.

[atomic dome]

Nah, I mean't like story and stuff

[cosmic pelican]

Can you still get the quickstep pistol?

[rose sable]

if someone has the bounty still, yes

try the lfg channel, people will start it for ya

[cosmic pelican]

Gotcha thank you. Just started playing again and I see everyone dusting me in a race 😂😂😂

[hybrid ore]

That's what happens when you put your~~ crocs~~ pistol into Sportsmode.

[sullen viper]

where is the secret vendor?

[rose sable]

random spawns

[edgy fable]

It's random. Google for a map with his spawns, pick a spot close to a safe house, relog, check if he is there. If not relog and check again

[eager talon]

Queston- Why are we gaining a seaosn XP when there is only an event or did I miss what season it is now?

[drowsy pewter]

Do you imagine if they make agent ryan (iconic division agent jacket dude) come back on a season where aaron keener starts working again..like they did with Johnson (who was the "iconic" agent from division 2?)

[pastel olive]

Short anniversary season

[eager talon]

But isnt that under the event XP?

[pastel olive]

Yeah idk truthfully all I know is things that give season xp progress the anni season pass thing

[limber estuary]

The one thing imma hate is having to redo the campaign this is going to be stinky guess I'll restart tomorrow

[pastel olive]

But I also have no clue why I’m gaining season AND event xp

[eager talon]

Yeah coz I wanted to know if I should work on event or season XP, they are different numbers and sometimes I dont trust the UI lol

[pastel olive]

Just do stuff you would normally do for season xp

[plush agate]

man love when a agent dies at the extraction heli blocking my ability to extract as it forces me to revive them first and im getting pounded by 3 hunters

count down is fun they said

[amber kayak]

i literally just started the endgame today and went to the summit to get the striker set and literally got an equalizer with perfect obliterate before i even got a full striker set

[sullen viper]

the secret vendor wants textiles...why its so stupid, you need to play alot to accumilate duplicate drops from the textile caches...

[edgy fable]

Because textiles have accumulated over the years to crazy amounts because players had no use for it. Now it does, finally

[sullen viper]

yeah, i mean would be nice if there were more textile caches to spend keys on, and then some other currency for the vendor imo

[edgy fable]

Idk, just happy I can spend textiles now on sth decent

[eager talon]

Is there a spawn cooldown for the hoarder?

[haughty wharf]

Log out n log back in, it can force a respawn

[lunar hare]

yes

IIRC it's 1 minute

[south topaz]

finally we can spend 15k textile every season for stretch goal its huge, also makes sure people who has everything don't have to grind levels for cosmetics

[rose sable]

god grinding for elmos is gonna make my brain melt out of my ears

[iron adder]

Overdog farming is way worse

[rose sable]

i was lucky and got those early

[south topaz]

getting overdog but not elmos is crazy

[amber kayak]

i love clearing a blockade only for the next time i check the map, another one has taken its place

[olive niche]

This was me and Dark Winter.

[rose sable]

im now being punished and cant get an emlos or an m4 with either killer or dmg out of cover

[mighty girder]

did you just copy paste from an AI

what's even the point

[rose sable]

bad bot

[fresh fjord]

Well I not speak English perfect..

[olive niche]

o.o

[rose sable]

pretty sure you should probably try #td2-clan-recruitment

[fresh fjord]

But point it make more room for the clan

Do not limit to only 4 players per clan

[mighty girder]

?
nobody says that

[rose sable]

its not?

[hybrid ore]

@fresh fjord No AI content on this server.

[whole yacht]

What-

[fresh fjord]

That's okay. Anything else?

[olive niche]

I get that Cyberstan wiped rhe floor with us...
But I didn't think they'd invade Division 2, as well.
I am sorry. It was a hard fight 😿

[hybrid ore]

Feel free to ping an active mod when you see an AI post on this server, fashion/fanart/wall of text doesn't matter, it's still not allowed here.

[mighty girder]

(ironic that it's the self-proclaimed AI saying this)

[fresh fjord]

Yeap

[hybrid ore]

My name's that because of an old joke on this server, I appreciate it doesn't translate well to newer folks.

For the record: clans are not limited to 4 people, in fact you don't even get your Clan Vendor until you have 4 or more in the Clan.

[fresh fjord]

Well, I don't see a guide or information where it says so.

[olive niche]

I was questioning this for a bit
Figured it was something like that. A joke before my time

[whole yacht]

Also is it possible to make a group that's bigger than 4 in a clan?

[hybrid ore]

@drowsy oracle Someone over in #td2-clan-recruitment would love to have you!

[hybrid ore]

Only if you're in a Raid/Countdown.

[whole yacht]

[hybrid ore]

Having a guide for everything that's not possible in div2 might take a while.

"Guide 3, 562: you can not drive a car"

[fresh fjord]

I'd like to make my clan bigger than 4

[olive niche]

Guide 5, 666: you can't jump

[brazen elm]

Surely it'd be easier to list everything you can do

[hybrid ore]

@fresh fjord Then get more people to join, the one I'm in has 47.

Just go down to #td2-clan-recruitment and find one that suits you, and enjoy!

[fresh fjord]

Ok

[hybrid ore]

If you feel awkward in making a post/DM'ing someone, you can also just join one directly ingame.

In div2, we use emotes!

[iron adder]

[hybrid ore]

and now a bunch of places banned text chat, the Salute Emote at the end of a mission is our new GGWP.

[olive niche]

Wait till you hear about Guide 1, 3: You can't duck either

[hybrid ore]

we actually do have a jumping jacks one :p

[mighty girder]

and then jumping jacks while waiting for capitol building SAMs to go offline

[whole yacht]

Guide 1,6: You can't pick up a duck

[hybrid ore]

pesonal recent favourite: "greet the sun", for all those Dark Souls fans.

[olive niche]

Nooooo
😭

[hybrid ore]

Although you can indeed get a Duck Mask.

[olive niche]

I saw the Duck Mask. Isn't Isn't it a Raid thing

[hybrid ore]

Manhunt special reward.

[olive niche]

Yeah that.

[hybrid ore]

you need to go shoot all the ducks in the Theo latter Manhunt, then fight the Hunter at the end.

It's not like, a giant rubber duck as a hat mind you, div2 goes for somewhat more realism.
but it is a "$2 cosplay duck mask" thing.

[oblique arrow]

How are you guys liking the Big Alelejandro? Its in my top my 5 exotics now such a Beast of a weapon

[olive niche]

I'm still on my way to unlocking it.
But based on what I've heard, it's gonna probably take my SMG spot

While being an LMG

So it'll open a spot for a completely different weapon I normally wouldn't use

[mighty girder]

benefits from places where you don't need to move (e.g control points), falls off when you need to move constantly (countdown), also falls off if the enemies have a lot of cover themselves and scurry around all over the place

[brazen elm]

You are above even the Alejandro; I hereby award you the title of Big Alejandro

[mighty girder]

it's a fun exotic that can be quite powerful but it's definitely more situational than bringing a high-end mg5

on that note, ikia finally released a video on big al

[simple spoke]

guys someone knows a good website for builds? would be very happy 🤗

[whole yacht]

https://discord.com/channels/477210626742288384/489468635333656576 pinned messages

[simple spoke]

I tried some new builds and want to know if the striker build is still good

[mighty girder]

striker is the standard dps build

[whole yacht]

This

[mighty girder]

everything else is either more situational, niche and/or (slightly) weaker

[olive niche]

Is it possible to hide the weapon on the backpack?
Not Specialized. Just, hide the basic weapon

[simple spoke]

so an overall build we can say?

[mighty girder]

no @olive niche
you used to be able to if you opened the seasonal modifiers menu and then changed to the apparel menu without leaving the modifiers menu, but since we don't have seasonal modifiers rn, you can't do it anymore

[olive niche]

Ah, shame. Thank you.
I miss my Companion 😭
Having to ask for help and wait sucks.
When I could just rush in with Homie and lay waste to a strong hold

I even named him. Like a Pet

[hollow escarp]

hope we get more true sons gear, rlly sad i missed out on the colonel sgt clothes

[mighty girder]

dehumanizing your true sons companion

[hollow escarp]

the anderson shirt is nice tho, pairs will with the honourguard pants

[graceful condor]

LF help with hero main mission

[mighty girder]

(based, i mildly disliked him anyway)

[alpine zephyr]

its an AI, its already not human

[hollow escarp]

we can get true sons companions?

you dont want one, their useless

Oops wrong channel

[olive niche]

Homie helped me more than I could have ever imagined.
Picking him up when he got downed as well. Like helping your Wounded Dog.
It felt so good..the Synergy between Homie and I was OP

[gleaming bramble]

Will they ever improve the clan system?

[whole yacht]

Wanted to copy and paste the lfg pc channel and not raids one

[whole yacht]

I mean, I liked medic the most

Others are just fully useless

[mighty girder]

i just disabled companions and enjoyed the free buffs

[olive niche]

I used the Assault.
When bro missed his shots. It was like me fr 😭 🙏

[mighty girder]

30% weapon damage and 40% hazpro, golly gee

[limpid crater]

are the server down?

[whole yacht]

❌

[olive niche]

Yes
-# no

[whole yacht]

Just don't miss bro

[alpine zephyr]

yes......maybe

[olive niche]

Hip fire every target 100% accuracy

[mighty girder]

no, if you see server resets, that happens periodically, just log out, wait a bit and log back in
server maintenance is the real deal, and it will be announced here

[olive niche]

"I don't use crosshairs. I view that as cheating"

[limpid crater]

been trying to get in and it say MIKE-01

[whole yacht]

Lmao

[mighty girder]

probably your game still trying to connect to the server undergoing reset

restart your game and it should fix it

[limpid crater]

i did twice

still MIKE-01

[mighty girder]

then i dunno

[whole yacht]

Have you tried verifying game files?

[mighty girder]

try asking in #unofficial-troubleshooting i suppose

[whole yacht]

Iirc I had that error before I verified the game files

[limpid crater]

verifying right now

[magic rock]

Division 2 is coming back big

[tranquil shard]

Ok guys named item cache, legacy season cache or exotic cache .. I get should I be throwing my stars at if I don’t need the material caches

What should *

[alpine zephyr]

yup and as much as people dont like to look at youtubers for popularity, i thank Astecross for that, dude brought all the eyes of the destiny playerbase onto the division 2

[heady field]

No its not lmfao

[alpine zephyr]

bro, go look at the steam charts

[heady field]

its only like that bc it was 3 dollars lol

[undone timber]

It's been on heavy sales frequently throughout it's life span

Games just popular idk what to tell you

Especially after the multiple atomic bombs that were dropped on us during the anniversary stream the game has never been better

[alpine zephyr]

nice cope, but the games more popular than ever right now, it literally broke its own launch peak NOW. 27k all time in the last 24 hours

[olive niche]

I got this really dope drip atm.
A Red Hoodie with Black Pants. Houndsman mask, Red Gloves and some Red Shoes.

[undone timber]

You can share in #divashion !

[heady field]

lol

[mighty girder]

not going to comment on whether division 2 is actually having a comeback, but i will say i find it slightly funny that destiny 2, a game that many compare this to, has 4k players on steam right now while div 2 is at 10k

[heady field]

weird how its compared.... one game is P2W and the other is not.... maybe its compared bc they both have unbalanced game mechanics lmfao

[alpine zephyr]

destiny 2 is free to play dude and you can only purchase skins. can tell you are bored and just ragebaiting

[mighty girder]

to be fair, div 2 only needs you to pay for 2 (soon 3) dlcs to get the full experience, meanwhile destiny 2 is uh... something else

[heady field]

to be serious about it. d2 is only f2p cuz the game went dead and they were desperate. content is locked behind 80+ dollar dlcs lol

[mighty girder]

destiny 2 is free************************

[alpine zephyr]

you could say the same thing about division 2 lol, games free to play with ps plus but all the contents locked behind £65 if not a little more for division 2

[undone timber]

They're both looter shooters that's all there is to be compared really

Speaking of which I miss BL3 time to reinstall

[heady field]

🤮

[alpine zephyr]

should get bl4 lol

[heady field]

oh ya even better 😂

[undone timber]

Too expensive rn for my blood

Waiting for when it inevitably plummets

[heady field]

laughs in pc

[alpine zephyr]

i enjoy them for the fps shooters they are, just turn your brain off to the story and act like it doesnt exist

[inner elbow]

BL4 is one of those games where I get lost about what to do after the story. it's just so boring.

[heady field]

bl1 bl2, pre, are the only good ones.

[toxic musk]

How do

[alpine zephyr]

ok ragebaiter

[inner elbow]

complete 80 contracts? cash me ousside how bow dah

[heady field]

its the truth tho

[alpine zephyr]

if you say so

[toxic musk]

Welp, glad that I have arrived to some proper tea

Enjoy what makes you happy, and all that jazz

[inner elbow]

pre-sequel more like BL2's 5th DLC

[heady field]

as a borderlands game. if the story is shite. then u might as well go play minecraft. shut off ur brain and just mine. on the other hand. a borderlands game is meant for the story. but apparently not to Randy Pitchford lol

[heady field]

aye that game was actually good. only wish they could have went deeper with content tho

[alpine zephyr]

real borderlands fans know the game is all about the guns and the gameplay, the story is secondary

[heady field]

it was a nice change of pace

[toxic musk]

I feel this is an Off Topic discussion, I will 🤓☝️

[mighty girder]

#off-topic-discussions

[heady field]

oh no 🙁

[toxic musk]

Anyway, time to nap. If you kill each other, dibs on your gear

[heady field]

i rarely play div2

but on div1. id love u too try kill me lol

[mighty girder]

im going to crawl back into the hole that i've been stuck in for 6 hours after being pretty sure i accidentally pissed off an active member of the server here and beating myself up over it

[alpine zephyr]

"going rogue"

[undone timber]

It's really difficult to make a lot of the more active members mad

[heady field]

cringe

[undone timber]

Generally speaking of course

[toxic musk]

I'd imagine you'd know if you made someone angry™

[hybrid ore]

If you feel genuinely bad about something, a "sorry, my bad" goes a long way.

[heady field]

hows the lag switchers in div1 on xbox?

[undone timber]

Can't discuss here cuz rules

[toxic musk]

Now, I am going to scroll up because instead of napping I am now curious

[heady field]

a rule talking about cheats really. well its not a cheat butya

[olive niche]

WHAT

[undone timber]

Yeah, often spirals into degeneracy really fast

[hybrid ore]

It's easier for everyone if we just say "the community server doesn't have that rule and they allow anyone in".

[heady field]

Imagine banning people about them talking about the state of the game

[undone timber]

Admin decision not mods

[inner elbow]

Rant time:

State of the game: 100% damage, 0% strat
everyone's just pre-firing and spraying every encounter now, because damage
everyone's just running random builds now, because damage
challenging and fun gameplay is a thing of the past.
remember how team composition is absolutely crucial in a co-op game? NOT ANYMORE

[heady field]

if ur talking about div2. thats so damn true lmfao

[inner elbow]

i am

[undone timber]

Id argue team composition has never been important outside of raids and incursions tbh

[heady field]

thank god div1 actually has a brain with builds.

[undone timber]

Everyone just runs DPS and it's GGs

[undone timber]

Id also argue that build diversity is worse in div1 because you're funneled into 6 piece sets

[heady field]

which takes skill to run.

Dont go on about how striker is so unbalanced XD

[hybrid ore]

Oh 100% it's wider in div2, and if you think that most div1 players didn't just go all-in for damage, you are wearing those rose-tinted specs.

[inner elbow]

sponsored by Specsavers

[undone timber]

It is lol it's the most busted set by far

[heady field]

well no shit lol

[hybrid ore]

Off topic rant: avoid specsavers, they're terrible.

[inner elbow]

their ads tho 😭

[undone timber]

Should not have gone to Specsavers

[dreamy imp]

Get ICL

[toxic musk]

Me starting to play it and wondering whether to go all in on one stat or all three

[undone timber]

Generally a mix of stam and FA

[heady field]

8k fa. 5k stam. is a good start. squishy but can still strafe away when u get low. for a hybrid that is. or even 5p banshee

[mighty girder]

thanks for giving me the push to say sorry, it's funny how difficult it is to say something so simple

[toxic musk]

They've been after me for years because I just stopped wearing my glasses and decided that nah, I don't want to do their tests

[hybrid ore]

@toxic musk Go to an actual optometrist and not their discount bin stores.
Your future eyes will thank you.

[hybrid ore]

It's never too late to help improve yourself

[toxic musk]

Being the bigger person in the big '26
This reminds me, I need to be worse

[heady field]

accurate

[toxic musk]

Nah, I'm gonna simply pray I don't go blind one day, lmao (I probably should go to the opticians, though)

Anyway, I at least have some goal to get stat wise later

[hybrid ore]

Btw I sorted your roles out, feel free to check out #td1-build-advice for some actual good advice on div1 builds.

[toxic musk]

Thank you, probably should've remembered to do that myself, but appreciated

[mighty girder]

the OG spreadsheet

[toxic musk]

Gods most gormless idiot, raa

[hybrid ore]

You'd be surprised at just how many folks don't know how to.

[dreamy imp]

I just did 🤣

I saw "#No access"

[hybrid ore]

General PSA: final day of Ambush, Agents. Go Turn in your stars, they will vanish in 24 hours, they are not saved between Global Events.

[toxic musk]

Anyway, nap time. I shall haunt the Div 1 Wisdom Havers later

[hybrid ore]

id:customize should be fine to access, if it doesn't work, let me know the roles you want and I'll hook you up.

[toxic musk]

I will miss Ambush. Ah well, more fashion accessories tomorrow

[mighty girder]

Ambush returns at some point during the anniversary event iirc

[hybrid ore]

Ambush is going to be back on the 17th of March.

[toxic musk]

Oh god. That pig mask is tomorrow, isn't it

[dreamy imp]

Thx, it's been a hot minute since I was last here, just returned to check out the anniversy event 😄

[mighty girder]

Devs didn't implement Strategic Ambush smh

[toxic musk]

Strategic? What strategy do we have?

[mighty girder]

you move too much, you die

[toxic musk]

(I jest)
Anyway, for real. Nap time, toodles

[hybrid ore]

The GE's from div1 had to be totally remade for div2, so make sure you praise them as much as you can if you want them or more like them in the future.

[undone timber]

In div 1 there were bonus stipulations you could turn on that increased rewards but ramped up difficulty

[undone timber]

I'd love to get div2 onslaught personally

[hybrid ore]

That's a good Directi(ve)on for a game to have.

[undone timber]

I think the other ones we more or less have a version of

[mighty girder]

they should add Strike back too

[undone timber]

It's basically just hollywood

Same with outbreak and reanimated

[mighty girder]

i forgot Hollywood existed lol

[hybrid ore]

The "strike" event being turned into "Hollywood". There's a joke somewhere in there.

[mighty girder]

i will miss turning on tactical strike in lexington event center and dying instantly after spawncamping larae

[hybrid ore]

"another body on the pi-AGENT DOWN"

[undone timber]

Getting hit in the face with your own explosions is quite funny

[hybrid ore]

I can do that just fine in div2 with a poorly aimed explosive sticky, thank you very much.

[dreamy imp]

Standing up from cover and get a rocket in the face is also quite fun

[mighty girder]

Lincoln memorial about to become 200% easier during assault

[hybrid ore]

1.5 minute speedruns here we go!

(for context: Lincoln Heroic was the OG farming spot for gear, before we got Targeted Loot and a whole bunch of changes, since 4 Named Enemies in a dense spot)

So a lot of vet players can basically run it blindfolded.

[mighty girder]

About to seal off the tunnel so early that the True Sons haven't even entered the tunnel to secure the ammo

[rose sable]

I dont wanna farm for elmos anymore grandpa!

[dreamy imp]

Same

[hybrid ore]

It took me quite a long time to realise that you can actually kill those 2 True Sons that are in the tunnel, by aiming over an earlier railing.

[undone timber]

Rest in pieces, died to help with the ammo count

[hybrid ore]

(im pretty sure they still show up on the camera, but that's just ghosts)

[undone timber]

Nah that's normal

[hybrid ore]

Div2 at the endgame is all about getting the content done fast, so they can get the reward and do something else.

[undone timber]

If you call for backup expect players to want to go as efficiently as possible

[mighty girder]

[...], I'm not dying to help with the ammo count.
He did, indeed, die to help with the ammo count

[undone timber]

If you wanna go at your own pace I recommend getting a premade group

[hybrid ore]

(oh and because the game doesn't explain this AFAIK: when you call for backup, make sure you recall if 3 Agents don't immediately join)

[undone timber]

For backup or premade

[hybrid ore]

That's because calling for backup is 1 person by design, don't ask me why.

so if you re-call, more will join.

[undone timber]

^ you have to start looking again after someone joins

[hybrid ore]

I actually asked in a support ticket a number of years ago, and yes it is intentional.

[mighty girder]

I think we should advise people who are trying to experience the story between level 1-40 to not call for backup

[undone timber]

I mean realistically we just did in different words

[dusty walrus]

Any update in getting 13 % protection from elite mods

[hybrid ore]

Time and patience.

[mighty girder]

People dislike reading

[undone timber]

Ehhh then it's beyond me

Can lead a horse to water or something

[hybrid ore]

We like to try and foster a good feeling overall on this server in particular, we all know what it was like to start out very confused and terrible at the game.

[mighty girder]

You know I actually wonder, how many new players join this server and never ask a single question

[hybrid ore]

I know the actual answer to that.

[mighty girder]

And just go straight to the pins to stare at the spreadsheet

I was one of those people

I hate sending my first message in any new community

So I always obsessively check pins first to get my info instead of asking directly

And learned 99.9% of what I needed just from the spreadsheet alone

[ebon blade]

Yo, can someone help me get the Houndsman gear?

Please?

[inner elbow]

you know they're new players how?

[cerulean nacelle]

I only have to start worrying abt builds and stuff after lvl 40 right?

[hybrid ore]

The power of AI hacks (and being able to see a record of the server members as they join)

[rose sable]

pretty much yeh

[hybrid ore]

@crimson star You can find someone to give you a hand down in #lfg-pc, and as soon as you can, I recommend joining a Clan, which you can find over in #td2-clan-recruitment
Welcome to div2, Agent

[cerulean nacelle]

Sweet, thanks twin🫵🔥

[inner elbow]

yeah but that's new members, how can you tell they're new to the game?

[hybrid ore]

New to the server is good enough for me.

And we got a nice influx of new faces whenever a new thing is added to the game, so you can mostly count them too

[mighty girder]

reminded me of a time when a game i played had a localization update and that singlehandedly caused the playercount to double

even though... it was a localization update

[hybrid ore]

Never underestimate the side-updates for a game and how important they are to the overall health.
Even just a little dlc like BfB added a shed-ton of new players to here.

[mighty girder]

the devs should just update the game every week but the update consists of alternating between adding/removing 1 damage point from the Lexington

ez game longevity exploit

[crimson raven]

it's 4 all time And u have infinite overcharge ?? U just need extremely aggressive and he just die. No tank, no heal just dps and rush them and kill them or use achilles and oneshot them 🙂

[ivory kayak]

Does floor 20 summit farm work just as well as 10?

[hybrid ore]

Any boss floor works fine, except for 100, which works better, but takes longer to reach the boss itself.

[ivory kayak]

Kinda just tac assessment farming. Ik its slower but these cps havent given me the bp i need lol wanted to try something else

[rose sable]

isnt countdown better to farm?

[ivory kayak]

For tac assessment? Is it?

[rose sable]

ah not for tac assessments

[jagged prism]

no think you're on the right track @ivory kayak

@hybrid ore thanks for the reminder to spend our stars. had 8 but you know that would've been a loss 😹

[rose sable]

I did like 25 countdown runs today and got exactly 0 exotics and no m4 worth keeping. what a delight. lol

[hybrid ore]

You've still got a bit to spend them all, it's not closing until just before tomorrow's reset.

Just noticed I had 180 laying around and went "right, PSA time".

[jagged prism]

i got my 50 levels, got the journeys done for ambush, can't be bothered to gather more so it helped me not lose those 8 😹

[crimson raven]

Bruh. People is just stupid

[hybrid ore]

"people is just stupid".

That one's gonna stick with me.

[rose sable]

haha glad it wasnt just me

[dreamy imp]

Old news, people been stupid since the first one 🙂

[alpine zephyr]

same, i took advantage of the 5 times xp, got to level 800 shade, got bored, now playing granblue fantasy relink. will probably play again during the next 5 times XP and push to 1k. divs fun in short doses for me

[mighty girder]

honestly even with 5x xp, using all 1000 levels up is a major time commitment

[alpine zephyr]

yup, i was playing 12 hours a day and pushed from 300 to 800 over 3 days

[hybrid ore]

You aren't necessarily meant to get all 1k levels, it's just there for folks who manage it as an upper limit.

[alpine zephyr]

burned myself out lol

[rose sable]

took about 10 or so hours for me from 200 to 1k

i did no life it real hard though

[jagged prism]

i'm just waiting for assault to finish the journey of that 😹 and wait for next week to see how it fares for a 2nd time

[unreal depot]

Relink enjoyer

[alpine zephyr]

its getting an expansion in july to

[unreal depot]

Ikia Big Al video out let's gooo

[unreal depot]

yes i will be there

[jagged prism]

i don't recall them mentioning the release date of the dlc

oh nm, the other game

[alpine zephyr]

im in the discord, their already sending out beta invites for the expansion

i just started playing it as well, on chapter 8

[jagged prism]

yeah, you're gusy are talking about that relink game not division 2 so i was just confused

[unreal depot]

they should collab

[alpine zephyr]

ANIME DIVISION 2

[unreal depot]

wouldn't fit at all lmao

[alpine zephyr]

decided imma main siegfried to, love his design and combos

[unreal depot]

One collab i want is Arknights, it would fit so well

[dreamy imp]

Metro 🙂

[alpine zephyr]

the new 007 game would fit with division 2

[unreal depot]

they can make anything work tbh

[sonic portal]

Bruh, I can't call for backup and I'm stuck. Wtf is this? Why can't I call for backup?

[unreal depot]

as long as it's not like medieval fantasy

[alpine zephyr]

isnt watch dogs a dead franchise?

[jagged prism]

in the end though. it's all about how much money massive can fork out for those

[unreal depot]

I'm not sure it costs them money it's free advertisement for the other games

[uncut harness]

You should have enough currency to buy exo cashes though

[alpine zephyr]

i said it

[unreal depot]

they could do a new Girls Frontline collab too

[jagged prism]

you think free advertisement but companies wants money for their game to be put in something that's not theirs

[uncut harness]

Which game? Or just whishing for one?

[dreamy imp]

Full Metac Panic would suit

[alpine zephyr]

we were talking about a granblue fantasy relink/division 2 crossover

[jagged prism]

otherwise Massive would've reran Resident Evil collab so every agent can don the Nemesis mask, but i imagine capcom wants money for massive to run it again

[uncut harness]

Ah sadge had my hopes up 😄 great game as well though!

[unreal depot]

That's different, they gotta negotiate the rights again to rerun stuff

i'm not saying money isn't involved cause i don't know but they can't just rerun whenever

[jagged prism]

aka capcom wants money to allow that right

[hybrid ore]

MSV have spoken before about how, generally speaking, they like a collab to fit with the theme of the game, how the designs have to mesh with what we have. as much as possible.

[unreal depot]

Arknights collabed with Siege before, wink wink

[hybrid ore]

They are made by different dev teams.

[jagged prism]

well, your point it's free advertisement for other games to collab but money has to be involved for the most part

[unreal depot]

yeah but same company and the aesthetics fit lmao

[hybrid ore]

@unreal depot Same publisher, different dev studio.
Don't get mistaken and think that it's all "made by ubisoft".

A collaboration with another liscence owned by the same Publsher (e.g. Siege/Splinter Cell/ AC, etc) are much easier to organise than one with an entirely different Publisher (e.g. Payday/Stalker/RE, etc).

[unreal depot]

Yeah that part is obvious

[dreamy imp]

Anyone know if there is an xp cap for descent?

[small vigil]

No don’t believe there is

[jagged prism]

think the only change they made is you have to be level 20 to enter it? because hardcore players were abusing at level 1

[dreamy imp]

Ah I meant what you get from it 🙂

[small vigil]

Nah no cap

And unless they patched it, you can get 5x XP via the event from Descent even if you go past the cap in levels. So if you’re 999/1000 levels and do Descent, the 5x will be still applied on all the XP you get from it

[simple spoke]

the realismus event is temporary right?

[unreal depot]

yes 1 month

[elfin hazel]

yes

[simple spoke]

ah ok

[dreamy imp]

I'm holding my thumb for it getting core

[simple spoke]

thanks mates 🤍

[unreal depot]

hopefully with improvements

[dreamy imp]

Yeah, if they decide to release it will probably have improvements.

[jagged prism]

you're being really optimistic about it 😹 but one prays they'll revamp it if they do it again

[unreal depot]

the pistols xd

[small vigil]

Yeah they should buff the AI

[dreamy imp]

Well, I for one have never been really disappointed in anything on Div2 but i'm also not a persistant player

[unreal depot]

bodyshots should be stronger

[dreamy imp]

Yeh, the pistols suck so much

[jagged prism]

that's what i've been reading 😹

[unreal depot]

I'd rather they limit pistol ammo and make them not melee weapons

[small vigil]

The AI should be able to 2 tap me if I can one tap it

[dreamy imp]

I mean, I'm not saying i'm a super good shot IRL but I can at least hit things like 20-30m away in the A/B-zone

[small vigil]

But right now you can take 3 melees and 5 headshots and be ok

[jagged prism]

what about giving them white tusk training so they always beam heads?

[small vigil]

I support this

[unreal depot]

the pistols rn don't even shoot straight it's ridiculous lmao

[jagged prism]

blind fire cover? or you literally adsing and it's all over?

[unreal depot]

where can one upload clips here

[jagged prism]

community channel might be ok, but i'm not a mod so i can't say if the clip would be deleted

[dreamy imp]

Yeh I know, the agent misses from like 2 ms

[unique bramble]

-# well, it would be better if the reticle was a dot • instead of whatever this is --\ /--
