'Let's check out cheat engine again and see what to legally add into the game next!!!!!'
players: stop giving us wacky cosmetics, we want more milsim outfits!
also players: Quickstep is the best thing ever!
Quickstep still gonna flood lfg even after new season fr.
Plus, just use Acosta's Kneepads, ong---
any news? pls don't get hacked, sir
93r is the way tho. ๐๐๐
No list in that sense. No worries, I'm unhackable
hi all new player here is this a good time to get in the game
Bro just did a literal Titanic fr.
since drop day
are there any tips
makes no dang sense. it compels me, tho
About...? We need some context.
Hey guys, want to ask how do i get Quickstep?
what a new player should do
im just rushing main quest and picking up the highest level items rn
houndsman bounty
Find someone with a Houndsman bounty they can share with you. Ask here in your platform's LFG channel, join the GCROCK discord or the Division 2 Community discord to LFG there.
nice, thanks.. one more question, im new player i played division 1 before.
What is the best way to farm experience for SHD Levels?
Pinned at #ask-td2-community
Thanksss
Does optimization surge doubles exotic materials drop too or, just Control Point materials related stuff
Hey I cant access the PTS even tho i own the game on ubisoft connect, its not in "my games" in my library
does anyone know a fix?
Just got the shocker puncher lol
came back to the game recently and saw the lexington is a thing, is there really no way to get it as of rn or did i miss something?
Any advice on power leveling SHD levels?
Guys can i still get Agent Edwards mission?
Not now but it has come back intermittently from time to time
i assume next season then
did you buy the game through Steam?
if you did, then you're ineligible for the PTS
can anyone help me get the overdogs. I have been doing to many power plants and they wont drop
I have opened over 20-30 creates in hopes of them dropping and nothing
I am losing my mind XD
no secret, just keep farming, you can try retaliation also
Have you considered try Retaliation?
no, but the reason for that is becuse the kneepads I am using for the build is already maxed out
retaliation is a game mode that can drop blueprints to craft the exotics
ohh snap, where do I find that
ohhhh, I am checking it out and nothing is showing up
This game is such a grind I wanna ask how I can make the ride better but I feel like you just gotta put the work in
the retaliations are so much fun
Upgrading expertise is so hard lmao
Also trying to get through the anniversary stuff
i see a lot of people talking about retal, what is that?
you argo one faction hard enough and they basicaly hunt you down like in farcry
Open map. Look at the tab: Retaliation
ohh
so I have the outcast circle full But I see none of them on the map
Is it red?
If it's still white then it's not full
ohh
it might need just a nudge
thank you for the clarification
killing any enemy of that faction or activities fill that bar
Go kill a few NPCs of that faction and you will get a notification that XYZ is retaliating in ABC
like the circle of it is full and white
Then you can open your map, go to the Retaliations tab and start it from there
Good thing next season you can build up to 3 stack apparently so you dont hae to rebuild agitation
So far thats what it seem
I really like that
It is basically just a small thing but it is such a QoL addition for me
Yes. Same. Imagine wanna hit the same faction but you constantly need to rebuild agitation each time after completion
I don't care what faction I piss off, I just wanna do multiple in a row ๐
For new players, farming wise, I totally agree with your POV
I haw heard some small chance other Exotic BP Will be added with Bt Retal.
Is there no LFG for Division 2?
Thank you. <3
Are there some players who don't like someone else progressing the mission or something? Cause I often see backups/matchmaking joiners sat waiting at a door
what are the best skills?
Depends on the build, like many other things
level 11 new player
What's your build?
i think they are still doing the campaign
^
Yeah but I could give a recommendation on what to focus on afterwards
idk what a "build" means lol. i use a sniper/LMG for my primary
A build is a composition of gear items and weapons, including skills
With this info I'd also say focus on the campaign first. Currently it doesn't really matter what you use, probably drone and scanner pulse would work for your weapon choices
For now dont worry too much about build. Get to 40 and then look for a suited build
whats the best skills for running thru the campaign fastest?
Probaly turrert drone.
i really like the drone flying around shooting ppl. draws aggro and does dmg
Or better yet is having someone carrying you through
game seems dead idk at my lvl anyway
Yup, good distraction. Later on you'll be able to get the decoy skill, a little better to distract NPCs IMO
You can always find ppl.
are classified missions worth doing
Yup
How come my season pass goes past 50 but I canโt get anything else
Event pass currently is only 50. Season Pass is to be ignored for this month
They used the season pass model and forgot to cap it at 50 I guess
More so they using event pass and Skipped and Disregard Season oass isnt. A thing for this month ๐
can i play the whole game with the standard edition?
You will be missing NY and Brooklyn, including a couple (?) skills and a couple items IIRC.
Raids, incursion, game modes are unaffected by the DLCs however
With all the grinding I've been doing.. I completely forgot to do NY and Brooklyn...
whoops
Anyone had a massive lag spike?
any best xp farming method going on right now ?
Can we have the opportunity to play PTS
check #ask-td2-community pins
PTS is PC only
They must be afk
Okay
so control point is still the best method right
Been so long since Iโve played this game
without a Global Event, yes
what about double xp or something is there any ucoming double xp event ?

We sometimes get 3xXP and 5xXP events
this is the only way fr! else its really hard to level up
I hope 5x is soon so I can no life my way to 1000..
i am in 98 is it possible brother to level up to 500 in 1 week 5x xp event ?
100%
anyone know where the snitch is?
Apparently with 5x its possible in a weekend
calculations are in the Google document in the pin I mentioned
either full directive heroic national bond armory with 5x or control points with a headhunter build
oh lem me check and brother i am looking for damage build any idea
just damage !
Look at the pinned Spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice
then go to the Hub (Builds) where you can seek for Strikers
Take a look at this guide too, you seem pretty new still Lvl40 Starters Guide
@edgy fable should i just get the dlc then?
@slow vortex yoooo
Personally I do recommend both DLCs. They're well done and add nice content to play
@edgy fable does the ultimate edition come with the dlc?
Yes it does. And more goodies on top
appreciate it ty @edgy fable
If you don't care about those goodies the Gold Edition would be an alternative (it also includes both DLCs)
does anyone still got the houndsman bounty
i finally got overdogs, and it was from a 10 year cache. I love you massive
Thats where I got mine from too
any ideas about y8s1 PTS?
Hello. ๐
Its genuinely impossible too find a raid group bruh i swear
google the GCROCK discord server, a lot of people host raids there
Thank you bro
How is everyone doing today
Terrible i havent been able too get in a raid
That sucks is there anything that I can help with with
There's no one in GCRock server?
These Elite Patrols really do not want to spawn. 
hello!
How is the PTS
Should I join a clan?
Do you still get the tinker mask from the Potomac mission on master?
Note: first completion on that particular character only, after that it goes to a % chance on Master too.
Ive never done it
if you want a 2nd guaranteed drop: make a new char and run it on Master with them.
How do I get it to master difficulty?
You need to make sure you're playing a Manhunt that has it, and then complete the Manhunt mission on any random difficulty below it, it'll unlock Master.
Ohhhh okay. Thank you
Hello guys, whats the best way to farm expertise level ?
"spreadsheet 2" specifically.
don't ask what happened to spreadsheet 1. ๐
Taken out back and shot
@jade flume Proficiency: run CD and donate everything you can't add to your Recal' Library.
do it between other stuff because it gets real boring real fast.
Is any vendor selling crit chance mods? Need some for an alt
thank you so sorry im new to the server and game
Question. Does plague of the outcasts effect survivalist
Because I think I got a new gun to rival Alejandro
as in the tick damage? yes nothing can really decrease the amount of tick you suffer from it
but if you mean getting increased tick damage no specializations can affect it really. it's mostly from gear. hear Concentrated Company (CoCo) nets the most tick damage considering you get full CoCo stacks
bluescreen?
I canโt really use coco sense Iโm really a solo player
But I got pestilence and I remember this gun
I loved this gun
you still can, just tied to 1 or 2 Assault skills (drone or turret or both) to build stacks up on CoCo
Well I already have a build with refractor about assault drone and turret
Guess I could do some tinkering with coco
Off to the space administration HQ
otherwise the only other high tick damage i managed to try as a solo player, i wouldn't recommend as it's brain numbingly boring, is 3 lengmo
Just a quick reminder that Pestilence is weapon damage, not status. Despite the name.
Oh wait
I already had a full set of concentrated company in my stash
gives the enemies the covid-20 status effect
How the hell did I have a full set and not even know
maybe you had thoughts of it?
u asking us?
Iโm asking how Iโm so dumb
Hmm I donโt like cocos benifit, Lemmie mess with some other stuff to see what I like
This new loadout is ugly and horrendous Iโm gonna try it out
I should stop yapping, sorry
Don't worry about asking a lot of questions, we all started out at a base level of "i dont know what I'm doing", and you don't improve without learning!
That's a great thing about div2: it looks so very complicated, but once you get a handle on it, you feel like a machine.
It's rare that a game has backend and frontend gamepaly that ties in so well, whilst also feeling "slow paced".
just a lot of learning you gotta do
I hate the minigun but man that health on kill is so good
And yes I know, specialization weapons arenโt good
I like them anyway
The Spec Trees guns are all fairly bleh, but the bonuses you get from them are why you pick a specific tree.
although with notable exception: the Crossbow (when fired at a heavy enemy's chest) can remove the plate, allowing you to do a ton of damage very quickly.
Also that rpg is really good at crowed control. If it decides it actually wants to hit something
If it doesnโt well screw me I guess
minigun is fun when you play the pact and have Advanced Resources modifier running i think it was? was something we all wanted Tips of the Spear to be ๐น
Oh wait I just realize this is actually a terrible loadout
โSkillโ damage for cavilear
Damn
You've now entered what we like to call "unicorns". Where you want the perfect 3 stats and maybe a talent.
So you need to get the ideal attributes, and change the core.
the problem is: the game actively tries to give you attributes the same colour as the core.
nicknamed "rainbow protection". Which yes, I know.
yeah, with next months update this is going to be really harsh
Aren't you excited for the new mask, Rivens? 
This must mean I am cursed, because I keep getting a red core chest and it rolls yellows nonstop
Razer-RGB looking thing.
Sponsored by Massive.
I have absolutely no idea what that means but ok
If a thing starts with weapon damage as the "core attribute", it's more likely to roll red attributes below it.
Oh yeah
I havenโt been paying attention to those really tbh
Theyโre usually pretty high tho
Well now you know. If an item naturally drops with certain cores, the minor attributes are more likely to match that core's color.
For the most part this is great. Then you have certain builds that make this hell.
This is probobly stuff I donโt understand right now and might not end up getting far enough to understand
I mean... it's pretty straightforward. If x item drops with Red Core, minors are more likely to be red. Very simple. Apply the same concept to blue cores and skill tier.
dw, you're fine.
I should get some sleep, see ya agents
Good night, may you sleep with good RNG.
not lootcifer?
Lootcifer has failed me multiple times. I went back to RNGesus.
I think both will fail us once we delve into the hellscape of prototypes
Maybe, if you have the bounty
@tender yew The outfit was from the Event track itself, as the final reward.
like how the Cage Mask is the final event from this Global Event.
I see, got mine at least. Sry for the other guy, unfortunate
How do you unlock the decoy again? I made an alt character and skipped to lvl 40 but I dont have it unlocked
Theo parnellmission?
in WONY, to be specific.
Ya
same as Explosive Sticky for Dragov, Fire Sticky for Conley, and the shock trap for Kajika.
mfw we never got the infinite jammer from Keener. ๐
I love my decoy. Run it with a few different builds. Very clutch
It's pretty much the meta option for Red DPS, combo it with Banshee Pulse from Gunner, and you can control a lot of the spawns.
@tender yew I just use it for the turrets at the start of paradise lost
How come DZ servers in Asia are always empty? (Middle Eastern servers to be specific.)
are you shd 1k?
probably why you find little to noone in your DZ. they're now split into brackets. not sure what brackets could be non 1k and 1k+
guys hahaha. I just got jumpscared in the game. Anyone know about these nutcrackers in the new york expansion? I was visiting a sewer area to get an SHD cache then all these nutcrackers where in creepy unreachable areas
bomboclat ๐
I killed three cleaners in the sewers and that's it. I took the cache and near the exit there's this dead guy surrounded by a giant nutcracker and several normal sized ones, with a candle lit. Creepy AF
What really jumpscared me is, when I climbed the ladder to the exit, some guy appeared and started shooting me just beside the ladder! I swear I cleared the whole area
that's some FEAR level stuff haha, I got it recorded on OBS but I don't have a mic so sadly my scream didn't get recorded
for me it was the random screen going fuzzy and you finally found what was making your screen fuzzy and watching them disappear ๐น
Prototype gear you get it as a drop or you get materials to upgrade it to prototype ?
"ARE YOU ALRIGHT??" - real outcast reaction to an outcast rusher dying via bomb vest explosion
there's some not so obvious care that's put in the game, gotta give it that. Appreciate that sort of thing
be more appropriate in #1484207457889812550
a Riker just said "who's gonna laugh at my jokes now", when I shot his buddy.
Genuinely felt a little bad.
Honestly, I love the NPC dialogue, it and the snitch cards give this game so much personality.
i saw a video not long ago of a group of passive rikers sparring and one of them gets hit so hard they actually die, healthbar vanishes etc and they just go "well shit that wasnt supposed to happen... anyway"
the fact that they die means its a deliberately hard coded interaction
why fight rikers
just let them kill themselves, ez
To be fair to Rikers, there is a named Hyena whose whole deal is pushing people off roof-tops. And no one can figure out its her, despite her name being "pusher".
the card mentions the ground being red and they still go upstairs with her.
I do love the Hyenas.
@crimson raven You can check over in #1484200964712829028, GL Agent 
@hybrid ore you seem to have a good memory. do you recall when the last time the devs gave us 2 PTS?
2 seasons ago
They'll generally tell us beforehand if we are getting 2 or just 1, before the first one goes live.
so just assume there's 1 this time. Honestly there's not a lot of space between the PTS and Rise Up as it is.
seriously? i only remember 1 per season so far
I think The Pact had two PTS? Maybe I'm tripping
yeah, was discussing this in the pts-y8-s1 that there's probably only this pts as there's not much time between now and april 2nd. sure next weekend can push another PTS but yeah not really seeing a chance of a 2nd honestly
think they mention it on the page of how can be invited?
Oh I didn't know there was a page, I'm pretty new
I've only played the first game
the rewards changed considerably though
Good stuff now
Thank youuu ๐
#td2-friend-referral Before you ask
Finished the first game with my best friend and now moving to the second game ๐
The community has always been great to me
Ah, then kindly disregard my message above if you're bringing a friend already
I think I am too stupid to understand the new modifier rpg system. Overwhelming.
Check #1484200964712829028 , Maybe you'll find something to help you understand better
Modifier rpg system?
Hello, newb question.
Does bounties drops tactical assessments?
is there away to start a retaliation on a different difficulty than your world difficulty without having to change it (which resets the map) before and after
Unfortunately not
You can matchmake for them next Season.
since im still generally newer ive not actually payed much attention to next season stuff aside from what i come across ppl say (retal matchmaking, prototype/expertise stuff) but i missed when it generally should be coming out
April 2nd is the current date of the new Season, you've got some time.
Info will be available about how it all works in a simpler way once people get a handle of it.
so there is some time to do shadowgrapher before the new season ๐
what's a shadowgrapher
next warframe update
that feeling when you're part of a game's community that keeps getting updates and new content โค๏ธโ๐ฉน
I believe going to White Oak and changing difficulty there doesn't reset the map (take this with a grain of salt. I might be wrong)
ill check next time
i also finally soloed a heroic retaliation (only 2 cap tho ๐ญ)
changed from full red strikers with exodus for survivability to 3/3 red/b;ue strikers with memento and that made the difference
lost quite a lot of damage (almost 100% i think) from the backpack and red nodes but the armor/regen/shield went crazy
anyone grabbing the DLCs on sale?
how long it takes to make all 50 levels of pass? just started after weeks off ๐
depends on the grinded xp and time spent
I think u need to give us 3 godroll if we have upgrade high-end to prototype. Think of hasburg guard if u don't loot 3 Godroll on protype gear level up the pieces go trash ? Seriously ?? U know how time u need for just 1 headhunter, weapon handling, headshot. Give us all 3 by upgrade. We have invest 90 exotic. We don't want make 2000 exotic for just 1 Chest random guys
also no recal/ optimisation means no triple red hapsburg either, so GG for the build diversity there
need triple godroll or death of the game
imagine we have in this game armor impossible to loot
imagine how exotic u will cost
I also wonder how DZ named items fit in here, no way to get a prototype hollow man without E30
Wait, upgrading gear will give random rolls?
It picks one guaranteed attribute and ups it. If you're lucky it's two, if you're very lucky all three
that it's trash
so gearsets and static named items are best to upgrade
Damn, inb4 they add some paywalls to this.
can anyone party with me in the division 2
imagine u want a Grupo with WD. CHC. CHD. Vigilance
For a god roll prototype u need to find him exaclty like on the ground (it's equal to farm a Hasburg Guard backpack)
And if he don't have 22.5 WD / 9 CHC / 18 CHD = Trash destroy it
If u upgrade ur Hasburg Guard u have farm more and more and he have just 1 attribut god roll = Trash and destoy it
Ur best and rarest pieces of the game just in 1 seconde and u have 90 exotic bcz u can't farm a Hasburg in Escalation mode bcz it's armor in 1st attriubute and u want a red core
Everytime u want test a piece like that it's 90 exotic for no guaranteed of result. it's bad bad bad
anyone having issue abandoning objectives?
I rolled a descent and cannot abandon it and its not the time limit problem
Make a screenshot?
I'm very confused. Can someone explain why we're working with Theo Parnell? So I just finished warlords of new york, doing the brooklyn DLC, and he's somehow alive and on our side now?
is that New York DLC a whole waste of time, a dream, or what
They're writing plot with chatgpt since few updates back. Keener, parnell alive, faye coming back next.
So, it turns out theo faked his and keeners death by messing up our div lenses to show fake versions of them.
this is the most stupid thing I've ever read. God I hate these writers
Why did I even give a slight care to the story
Then, it turns out that keener was a good guy, because he bombed that settlement, that was full of hunters going undercover
oh my god
And THEN we are fighting somr shadow organization with keener, with sokolova being one of them
They call themselves the Cabal
And in case you've missed it, kelso had to go.
Wow, this plot is really made with ChatGPT!
Oh and Kelso joined keener, being rogue and technically EVERY agent is rogue due to the hunters coming after us, because mcmanus (leader of shd and apart of cabal) says so
Who the well wrote this crap!
Oh and the guy with the sniper on the box art? Agent johnson? He was a secret hunter that has a bs climax mission (this one was wrote well tho)
-# i hate the recruiter climax so damn much its so hard
I don't know if I should laugh with how incompetent the story has been or what
Hi, after I talked to the snith it says the location of the gun runner has unlocked. What is the icon on the map becasue somehow I'm unable to find him ๐
What do you mean gun runner?
The gunrunner? Cassie is in fed triangle
I feel like taking back all the glaze I gave this game hours ago when I was playing the new york dlc
Also, bardon is a good guy
A triple agent working with the division, and Faye was also a good guy, but we killed her because bardon was in a coma
Because the DOCTOR FROM THE BASE GAME THAT NO ONE CARES ABOUT (he unlocks the barber) WAS PUTTING HIM IN A COMA.
Faye is not dead tho.
so is she always in the ame place?
bro, why should I even play this game istg
Nope, she'll move after the weekly reset, you gotta find the snitch again
The gameplay is fire, wdym
ok, thanks ๐
I got spoiled by realism mode, i vastly prefer it now
also, I just bought this game a week ago. focused on grinding for the anniversary skins that I liked, then played realism
at this point i'd honestly just tell you to wait for ghost recon breakpoint to go on sale or something
Breakpoint is on sale on ps rn, only base
-# bp is only worth if you can get all episodes
oh I already have breakpoint. Thanks for the suggestion though. I had tremendous fun with that too
I'm not refunding this game or anything. Sort of holding out hope that they'll make realism mode permanent if not soon maybe one day
They said they have no plans to.
well, that's just great....
Prolly a test run for div3?
Im going insane checking the 3 same spots over and over again trying to find the damn hoarder
if he doesn't spawn within a few tries, you probably accidentally spawned him somewhere else in DC and now he's on a 30m cooldown.
I'd understand if they got to the door well before I did but they ran/run with me and then stopped to let me open door
doesn't relogging despawn him or something
if they answered your backup call, maybe they're trying to support you and not just charge on ahead, letting you progress at your own speed
They said it doesnt fit the style of their game so I dont think so.
...please mercy i dont want to find all the other spots man
then don't, just forget about it for 30m then try a couple of easy spots - if he's not there, log off and on and try the same ones again. Usually only takes a couple of tries.
best time to find snitch is when you've just logged on after being out of the game for a bit, that guarantees you haven't accidentally spawned him somewhere else
@covert rover please use #lfg-playstation when looking for people to group with
Oh i apologize
I am confused i cleared a Building thingy in realisic but i can loott the supoply room
You only get loot at the end of missions and side activities if I remember correctly
meaning i have t clear the enitre area? which i did?
Hmm, maybe a bug, or cps arent worth it in realistic
i mean i am new
Loot is relatively non existent in realism mode. They go straight to your inventory. That loot is meant for the normal mode.
Oh i should play normal instead?
Up to you. Realism mode will be gone on April 2.
Damn really ๐ญ
It doesn't have replayability anyway. You clear it once and that's it.
ahh i see
Don`t understand why the Devs talk about Quality of Life changes!? And i must open every Box one by one.. why is it so hard to change this. And when i want to push my Gear to Maximum Level 30, why its only one step possible. its cost so much time and this has nothing to do with Life of Quality changes. They dont hear the Community and bring new Gear new Exos. .etc.. but this little changes was so much usefull. And dont misunderstand me, i love this game and this is the point why im so dissapointed in this.
I agree on opening the cosmetic caches thing. It has been requested for LITERAL YEARS by the vast majority of the community and nothing has been done about it. Most of us veteran are sitting on literal THOUSANDS of these caches and only open some to get enough textiles for the occasional cosmetic in the shop or for Danny Weaver caches. Just let me open all of them and then average 50 textiles per cache and be done with it.
Each time you open it has to connect to server, same reason you have to open gear caches one by one, the content only exists after it pings the server with what it should have so there some tech stuff around it
I understand that much and even though I'm obviously not a game dev and I don't know how things work in the back-end of stuff for the game, I'd imagine there's away of making caches drop a set amount of Textiles per opening in a bundle. Say, the caches are on the server, right? Why not make it so if a player has already claimed all the free cosmetics from them, make all subsequent openings just drop pure textiles set at an amount of 50 for example? Then also add an option to be able to convert multiple caches directly into textiles so the player can choose to open multiple caches at the same time and the server only has to do some simple math of "50 textiles multipled by X-amount of caches selected". I don't know if I explained myself well here or not, since english is not my native language, but that's pretty much the idea.
In other words: If a player has maxed out their free cosmetics from these caches: Convert selected amount of caches by the player directly to textile, with a set amount of 50 per cache.
I'm not that familiar with the details, but I still think there's definitely a solution for thisโif you really want one.
For years, we were told that expanding the inventory box wasn't possible, and now we've already received several upgrades.
What is the best way to get the new legandary gloves?
target loot gloves, countdown or retaliations, or just farm random exotics through priority targets
well he said legendary gloves
probably just meant exotics
Hey all, replaying the game, having 0 luck getting any parts for the chatterbox, would anyone fancy opening some boxes for me?
anyone know if there's a way to create a hardcore character for realism, without deleting the existing character
they clearly meant superior gear
because legendary is purple color in destiny 2
doesn't look like there is. nevermind my question
My apologies, the exotic gloves wardogs
you mean overdogs
Yes lol Overdogs
target farm gloves
does playing realism mode give any rewards for the normal gamemode?
2 cosmetic
the m4 and the shotgun skins, right?
Are they even really cool looking?
I got mine from hyena retaliation literally the first exo drop i got from the boss wave
So this new gear is only for the new mode if I'm seeing what people are saying in pts chat so we get powerful gear just to farm more powerful gear this whole system needs more looking in two but I could be wrong
Iโm shade watch level 9 what should I do to get more levels?
People saying they don't want it in raids or conflict or open world this all just feels like it was a waste of time
Always keep in mind this game is a marathon, not a race.
there's an exp farming guide & a newly level 40 guide pinned in #ask-td2-community
Anyone able to help me open some hyena boxes?
Ouf farmed 22 Exotic Caches from Countdown and ran SMG loot trying to get Chatterbox and Clan didnโt tell me it was quest I forgot itโs been awhile lol ๐
I remember grinding for it years ago, decided to start playing again 6 years later but having no luck haha
whats the best thing to buy with stars? the recalibration chests?
Higher Escalation tiers increase both the drop chance and Attribute rolls of Prototype Gear.
Will the Lexington weapon drop be in escalation mode?
I won't put my Lexington weapons in proto mode without first getting another one as a backup.
Hello, Im new to the game and i was wondering which dlc should i buy and are they necessary for the game to be enjoyed fully or does it lock the endgame behind them?
Gang in build advice are those gloves worth optimising or waiting till I get a better base pair?
I personally wouyld reroll a few times
for this global event now, the optimisation chest as it is double loot from all sources on those
But that isnt terrible, but not great. Gonna spend a lot to optimize
Do recal on gloves give the same roll just different stats?
Overdogs?
Yea
No, same attribute
So all that'll change is the %?
Yup
Well I don't have many exotic components but i'l try a few times
I think its only weapons that change their 3rd attribute
I mean yeah it depends if you need the exotic components, like if you are leveling up expertise a lot. I dont do it often so I just use the components when I have to
Oh I cant reconfigure them
Other option is just grind the Optimization materials since you get 2x's materials during the GE
Go to inaya and buy the blueprint if she has it for you
She doesnt ;(
Oh weird, back to retaliation I guess lol
I came here to tell all Splinter Cell fans to listen to SC Chaos Theory OST when playing missions, and thank me later
Even if you arent a fan, try it out. SC CT has one of the best soundtracks in all of video games
I still can get lud and purist target loot countdown and named iteam caches from countdown vendor, event vendors?
yes
Whats the usual difficulty that people matchmake for Manning Zoo? Heroic or Legendary? I tried to MM for it yesterday for priority objectives but there was pretty much no queue pops. Also is there any way other than just running gloves targeted loot for Overdogs?
Maybe better do with assault event active
So, I'm trying to access the PTS, but it says that I'm banned? I literally did not touch the Steam version of Div 2.
Even though I have the launcher installed? Geez, this sucks
Hmmm i know, its ubisoft exclusive
Well, screw me I guess
Nah
...Not that way.
Well well no worries!
Blegh. Maybe I link my Steam to Ubisoft, it'll fix it.
If it wasn't available to Steam players, why is it available on the Steam store? It doesn't add up.
Maybe kettle can clearify it:)
the last few PTSes have not been available on Steam but I thought I heard that this one was. Earlier ones have been, I think it's just a case of the devs putting extra work in to make the Steam one function.
hey i saw in the pinned message that control point is the easiest xp farm, but said also it make 30lvl/h doing it under 3 min , how is that even possible ? it take much more time to do or i'm just bad xd
with a suitable build like determined headhunter, it really is that fast
one-shot kill every enemy, hardly any aiming for the heads actually needed
Wow
It does.
They have fixed it a while ago. Then broke again. But it's working now.
lockdown shotgun can roll with marksman rifle damage?
Seems like it broke again, because it's treating my fresh account like a war criminal
My friend played it yesterday via steam so it should still work. Did you install it from actual steam library?
Yes. Twice.
So what errors do you get?
that's a different problem, I would suggest opening a ticket with ubi support to investigate
Just one that said Banned.
Interesting.
Hoo boy. If it must be done...
honestly never heard of anyone getting banned on the PTS, but there was a wonky banwave on the main game quite recently so might be related
I never matchmake, always send out a call for help
i just joined a friend in open world. (west end) and helped him complete a control point. now all my daily projects for west end didnt go up? anyone know why? my friend is 23 im 40. anyone know why
Then probably due to low level of your friend's map?
so isnt the low lvl control point the same as my control point haha?
seems sad i cant help my friend out AND help myself...
Well it would make sense for it to count, but remember who are the devs.
the project and control point generated after black tusk invasion might be different that pre black tusk
but if i do it when he's lvl 40 and im lvl 40 it DOES count right
Normally yes.
did they increase the crit chance in the pts?
like the max amount you can have
like more than 60%?
Yeah I think it's modifiers. We already had similar occasion in the past.
but they didnt increase the max crit chance you can have in the newest pts?
Oh you just asked if? No idea.
Is there no retaliation in Brooklyn? People keep saying there is but I dont see it
how to switch from Normal to anyother mode
There should be an option for it on the map for global settings
you understood them? i was assuming they were talking about going to the realism mode to try it out or go from realism to normal game play
I cannot find The Snitch, I've never found him. I've logged on and off and tried 7 different known locatoins for the past hour, nothing
Keep checking the same location. Pick a spawn from a map that's close to a safe house. Then check, if not there relog and check again. Rinse and repeat until he is around
Travel to murican museum and check nearby kiosk. If it's not there, queue for bounty/freeroam exploration and check it in other players maps. Other players might also have vendors marked already.
There are retaliations in Brooklyn. You'll need to agitate the factions to trigger it.
Is floor 90 on the summit still the best exotic farm?
Havenโt played in like 2 years
if you're trying to get multiple chances i believe so
Hello guys, do you guys have any idea the release time of crossplay? Me n my boys waiting for it.
sometime this year
this year, all we know about it
Cool, We also getting Extraction shooter gamemode really or is it a cap?
The Rise up season is a lot of complicated but escalation, retaliation will be cool and other like manhunt, focus on modifiers, Journey season, season pass.... But some progression will be for players who exspertise 30 like prototype gear but maybe in the future it will be easier to get to exspertise 30 if its a must, but for now i do what i can on y8s1 to take part and complete it.
Survivors (survival 2.0) is later this year i believe?
Anyone want to help me with a 5 person mission on PC
New Dlc too
New incrusion
I heard something similar, like that was the plan, get crossplay going cause the bigger plan is Extraction shooter gamemode.
Crossplay yes, thats right
people were opportunistically hopeful april new season for cross play, when they announced it earlier this month, then also think cross progression/save is just a copy and paste thing that goes along with crossplay ๐น
So now that the pts is out do we know how they are making the expertise grind eaier?
PTS expertising was the same so doubtful any changes from PTS to live will be done for expertising
@jagged prism They devs said they were making ths grind easier in the dev stream
do you keep the stats from your primary gun on your seccondary? just wondering if i get the 20% crit chance from my smg if i use my big horn secondary
It probably doesnt matter though. Upgrading to prototype gear seems like its gonna be a massive waste of resources with little to no chance of getting a min/maxed piece
they say that, but like i said PTS it wasn't different. still a grind to upgrade your items materials wise
Havenโt played realism mode yet I wanna make a new character anyone wanna run through it
What date does next season start?
april 2nd maybe? thats about when this anniversary event ends
could go longer, could go shorter 
Which part of Ubisoft is working on the game again?
they could even put up the date april 2nd for new season. later go Psyche! "APRIL FOOL'S!"
Massive is the company that developes division 2 if that's what you're asking?
the tears players will shed if they pulled that off ๐น just like the tears they shed for last years april fool's exotic event ๐น "I got the Littlehorn finally!" "hey, i can't equip the littlehorn. what gives?" we tell them it's april fool's exotic so ti's just a fancy exotic component
where can i go to post for help with heroic missions?
Do directives matter when doing retaliation (as in increasing drop chances) ?
have you tried start the mission and use call for backup function ? normally people do answer the call for help
apologies its the camp white manhunt which im trying to matchmake but thought id post aswell since no one is joining
matchmake is really bad in this game , you have to be queued up for same specific mission and on the same difficulty as well
yeah thought people would be queing for heroic for season pass exp but apparently not
to be fair priority objective probably giving more than spam hard mission like white oak manhunt
you're doing the recruiter manhunt right ? it's known to be one of the hardest manhunt and reward isn't exactly worth it so people aren't really doing it
true but im a returning player so wanted to complete them aswell since i havent done them
yeah its the faye lau one
might be worth doing a different one first then
there's at least 2 Manhunt on White Oak , Faye Lau and The Recruiter , the recruiter is tough one
Will the Tinkerer mask drop even tho I havent completed the master mission for it?
I just cant get that mission done lol
should, can even create a new agent and complete it on that new agent for guaranteed drop
Yo
Nope , it's only on the manager manhunt mission , you can do easier difficulty with lower chance
Yea... lol I spent 3 hours dieing over and over in master difficulty
how long does it take to beat the campaign
which campain?
main one
Till your lvl 26 free version
im level 13 rn
depends really , if you're good at not dying you can just rush the main campaign mission
but being under-level is really bad experience though ngl
also depends if you're running to a main mission but something shiney catches your eye and you forget what you were doing ๐น
Did that when I was lvl 13 
or like how some streamers i watch for gameplay they stop and stare around and talk about how beautiful the graphics are and drone on
Got drone millions of time when I was lvl 13 
current plan in prep for next season: collect as many exotics as I can, wait for the expertise event a week to crush them all, profit
Finally got into the PTS. Now to find clothes for my test agent.
gasps you don't like the ones the devs prepared for you? how dare you?! j/k
Yeah, while I appreciate the devs giving me a set of truly invisible empress clothes, gossamer thin clothing does not pass for protection
And the new armor doesn't seem to protect my arms and legs ๐
Only high skill tier agents can see thr clothes
imagine if they implemented that? each skill tier you see an article of clothing your agent(s)edit:for those who matchmake wears ๐น
I finally got my quickstep
what exotics are mission bound like tinkerer and stuff ?
Tinkerer's, tempest and i draw a blank on the others
anyone wanna help me do liberty island mission. ive been matchmaking forever and died at 80% of the mission and have to start over lol
ohh wait thats for the lfg-pc channel
catalyst, overdogs, beacon, blacklisters, dodge city, scheriff, EB, bighorn, ouroboros, ravenous..
dodge city isn't tied to a mission. just a project
Anyone here live in DC know how accurate the map is
you have to do many activities one after another so it's like a mission.. : )
google maps doesn't help you in this?
Its not the same idk
alright, thank yo u
are servers down right now? im getting that "uniform" error
ok so i finished the event pass and it says i am getting rewards beyond it every so often....where are these rewards? lol
nope..
For Tinkerer mask, do they have to both be, say an M4 or just both a AR?
level 50 is the max. they migth've copied other seasons code and put it in the anniversary
ok so not really getting anything more after 50?
nada, 50 is all you get but it'll still go up to probably 100
just making sure i am not missing anything since there is about elevanty billion screens to go through for reward
same type.. ar with ar for example..
separately, is it worth getting brooklyn dlc? people seem to like WoNY but i dont know if brooklyn is just as good?
brooklyn gives you the catalyst mask, huntsman AR named famas weapon, smart cover skill and 8 new hunter masks. you gotta determine if you like those
i enjoyed it
Hello guys, me and my friend seeking for the QuickStep, if anyone can help us to get it, we don't have the Prime, thx all ๐
Give me a minute. I'll help you. Join me Mystic-Dude
This game has a gambling gear set
10/10 all the flaws I have with this game are gone
If you don't buy Brooklyn, you'll lose the opportunity to get some interesting named weapons, hunter masks and skills.. BTW, the main missions in Brooklyn are pretty good, except for the one where the boss is almost constantly indestructible - on Heroic difficulty, this mission is incredibly annoying..
Brooklyn was a tiny DLC with a few hours worth of new missions and lore. Its great to have new content, but don't expect Brooklyn DLC to be like WoNY, content wise.
ah makes sense. thanks guys. i feel silly now because i bought the base div2 and i should have bought the DLC versions :/
Do ppl prefer nyc or dc
now if i go back and buy the DLC pack it's just more money since it wouldn't discount me for already having div2. though Div2 was literally only $3 im now realizing lol
last question -- if i buy WoNY or brooklyn right now, will it automatically boost me in levels? i want to avoid that, so if i should just buy it later to avoid jumping levels, i'll do that
best guns to use with eclipse protocol?
no, you only get boosted if you talk to the pilot and don't read the warnings and goto wony without finishing what you want in DC
It's mandatory to be level 30 to initiate the WONY DLC so you have two options:
Not boost but also not go to NY.
Go to NY but you will boost no matter what you do.
ah okay i like that. i'm assuming those are both also true of brooklyn?
Yeah but Brooklyn goes straight to 40 (max lvl)
brooklyn is level 40 content so you boost regardless
gotcha. i'll go ahead and get both. just wanted to make sure i wasnt going to automatically get boosted up levels just for purchasing them.
nah youre good dude
bless, thanks guys!
can anyone even remember the last time grand washington was invaded lol
What contract?
bloody houndsman
Wrong chat buddy
you don't need to tag devs here, there's a specific PTS chat for that...
Assuming that he joined the server last week, I think he didn't read the rules honestly.
no one does that's for sure
Then they wonder why auto mod deleted my message!? 
Thanks baby boy ๐
Thatโs a lot of sweat over one message, champ. Save some energy for the actual PTS feedback
Realism was fun
I am, actually, new here.. lol Don't see a specific PTS chat listed. Is it hidden?
need the PTS role from id:customize
Thanks
Where can I put a console LFG div 2?
best way to grind levels?
check #ask-td2-community pins
I'm back after 3 years. I'm not sure what I missed and would love to have someone help to show me what I've missed, dm me. Thank you in advanced
You can read the patch notes. Too much to count up everything here
....
Just curious do people not matchmake for summit. I am having a hard time finding people
You will like this tho, shows gear and introduction date

Hey agents when is the Rise Up update hitting the live server?
Depends on the difficulty. Most people moved on to Countdown and Retaliations btw
Yea I'm looking to join a VC and share screen and see where I'm at where I need to go. But thank you for the patch notes
Ahh ok. I'm trying to hear up to try legendary so only doing it on heroic. I just got back to game a few weeks back so catching up lol.
Thanks
any idea?
early april
Yesterday*
Sorry yes
i hate that only some hunter can be done at night but the game doesnt have an option to speed up in game time to make it night
Man legendary difficulty is straight up some of the most unenjoyable content I've experienced in gaming, not even gonna sugarcoat it.
That's subjective. It has a learning curve and takes practice to master
Takes practice to... Not get shot behind cover? Cause 9 times outta 10 I go down I was shot by the enemy in front of me and no part of me is visible.
Or memorize enemy spawn points so you don't get shot in the back. Or specifically take EMP to avoid the bs homing drones, but then you get knocked outta cover by the homing grenade launcher anyway.
I'm aware I'm probably venting to experienced players that have an easier time than me, but it's still terrible. I'd rather do Grandmasters on Destiny.
Which stronghold did you run?
Manning. Doesn't really matter though I've done both now. Had about the same experience.

well zoo is the hardest one prob
I haven't been able to get more than the normal amount of optimization items. How does thing work, am I doing something wrong?
cant remember anything about the tidal one
Did you check your actual totals or just the 'popup'?
The only one I had trouble with was the end of Tidal Basin. The last part turns into horde mode from gears of war lol
any tips to find the snitch? I pulled up a map of all the possible locations and I've been to like 15 locations and havent found him
Any tips on Field Research Gunner Stage 5 And then the armor quest
Is any one able to give me some advice or join and help me. Been struggling to beat the United Ironworks: General Anderson main mission. For ages now
Optimization surge double what ressource again?
stuff you get from optimization crates for sure, but it doesn't show up as what you 'will' get, you just get double (shows up in the item ticker though)
Oh alloys,assessement, Field R. Data and SHD calib
Basilisk. You gonna have to chop all the armor piece
The turret can be done last stage in R. island
Lmg kill pretty simple.
(If you have a Lmg build make thing simpler).
Free range and lmg kill can be done together
I have an exotic lmg and striker gear
looking for a (healer preferably) to run master missions ... dm me!
I saw some guides for basilisk but I'm not sure if I care enough :/
2 seasons ago. The passive modifier make heavy armor like they dont exist when breaking one
It's easy if you oxy them
Oh the other way is. Lure Basilisk to a spot where he wont be agro on you if you stand on a Specific spot
how do i solve the red/yellow wire puzzles? i keep trying to follow one, but it goes into areas where i cant find access to, and it seems like i have to span across/around the entire block to find the electric box to shoot. by that point i lose track of where im supposed to be looking.
What red wire puzzle from what mission
lmao okay ill need to unlock the island again first and then i can try
Are you talking about the nightclub classified assignment?
?
#lfg-pc to find people, I think I saw guides on YT how to beat it
i just went into some random building when looking for SHD tech for the Final Epiphany safe house. i was in this area:
@hybrid viper my "build" is Pestilence with striker gear
oh i cant post photos, but yeah i was in the upper right area of the Theater settlement's zone
Post screenshots over in #ask-td2-community
Its just smth i threw together
So people hate the prototype gear system in reddit, interesting
Which ppl? Veteran or โNewโ
is it that bad? haven't tried it. Veterans apparently;
It's a new thing that's complicated, just wait until it's actually out and a few weeks in, before you make a judgement call on it.
Probably lot more grindy
That's fine personally. I just thought it's interesting the feedback seems to be more towards the negative. I wonder if they wil apply changes based on feedback
As with all new div systems, I'm sure it'll be tweaked via player-feedback.
Download the PTS and see yourself how it is in its current state
That's not what I asked but okay.
i havent played in quite some time, is the lexington obtainable right now?
no
oki doki
You also dont really need it tbh.
what else would you reccomend?
"Is it that bad" Well, make your own judgement instead of relying on feedback of others
famas, police m4, f2000, elmo, etc.
any perks in particual you reccommend?
Elmos, Police M4, P416, F2k , Famas are your best bet
Well, turns out I wanted to hear other's feedback, that's it. You can stop replying to me if you don't like that.
"is it that bad" is a very loaded way of asking, and comes across as if you're wanting it to be bad.
@civic ravine as it stands it's going to be rough to make endless prototype gears if you think about it. Got to obtain level 30 expertise. spend materials to upgrade your gears and weapons to 30. spend a new currency to turn gears and weapons to prototypes then you don't get the max stat(s) you start all over again
Srained, Measured or Killer if what I assume youre going for is Striker
That's independent of whether I wanted to hear someone elses opinion or not, hence I asked
Is there a way to farm the Lexington currently
no
How things are worded are important.
@buoyant trellis Not right now, gotta wait for a special event, the server will tell you when there is one.
I read that it can't be optimized nor recalibrated. I don't personally like that hm.
It'll come eventually, probably. Just like Prototype Exotics
I mean it's not like should be handed in a plate of silver if the idea is to be aimed at veterans. But rn sounds pretty brutal rng
Logged in after a few months and I'm no longer able to see the Clan or my friends list.
@buoyant trellis You're looking for #lfg-playstation, Gl Agent 
Is it a bug
Just remember how painful farming gear was at launch. Just another pain step, even if prototypes are in general an upgrade even if its a 0.X% upgrade
@median fulcrum You were probably removed due to inactivity from your clan.
You can find one ingame very easily, or down in #td2-clan-recruitment
friends list tab has basically always been broken as well
I was the owner/Commander. Is it the same
after long enough the clan system will give clan ownership to the next active player online
Yep doesn't matter, removed if gone for long enough.
and yeah what drib said, friends list is a little ๐ y
I can see the friends list in ubiconnect but not in game for some reason
Fair enough tbh. Hopefully it's not mandatory to keep relevant in endgame.
Just hit level 30
Time to take out the black tusk
You can do all content ingame without Prototypes already anyway. They're just the cherry on top for more damage
on that I know, I just recall they mentioned adjusting difficulty moving forward for the other game modes and high tier difficulties. Think I recall them say that in the pts stream.
That'd be incredibly stupid if they'll just make already doable content harder just for the sake of "gonna need prototypes now, lol"
We'll just have to see what they do with the feedback they've been receiving with this.
I'm personally not even at the stage of thinking about prototypes anyway. Still filling up my library and inching closer to 150 on my watch
That's cool. Another thing about this game is that there's literally no rush on all this anyway. Thanks for the actual conversation ๐
Best way to target farm loot ?
Always open for conversations and dicussions ๐ซก
I'll keep you in mind for that whenever I hop in here again.
Spent all day trying to get Overdogs to no avail. Get bored and start cleaning up all my storage and stashโฆ. Overdogs sat in my stash for f**k knows how longโฆ. ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
So is the designated hitter the only gold weapon that drops? I dont think i've seen any other gold gun except that
does running the chest and backpack of a set grant both talents or just 1?
from the latest PTS stream we need prototype gear to run escalated missions to obtain more prototype gears
I see I see
least the way i see it. the escalations is going to be the more cost efficient way of obtaining prototype gear. i'll go through all my materials trying to expertise everything i want to play and especially exotic components
Guys gold edition in steam or ultimate edition? Gold have same dlc
both
wasnโt there a PTS chat? Has it been removed?
#1484200964712829028 you mean this?
might have to visit id:customize and tick the PTS role
the game has started freezing a lot for me does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?
Anyone else kinda obsessed with making their agent look cool af
an entire channel dedicated to it #divashion
who isnt?
Me, I'm a minimalist player, the less gear looking the better 
didnโt know they turned it into a role based chat again thanks
Omg I needed this
hey thats fair too
Didn't know either, ty ty
Anyone having a problem getting on? I'm on PS5 and I'm stuck on a loading screen, sat at 98% for the past 5 ish minutes๐ฎโ๐จ
@cursive fractal Try holding down "circle" on your controller when you're stuck at a % of a loading screen. (b for xbox, escape for PC).
has a chance to fix it.
servers are messed up for all games you just need to get lucky
I'll try that later, thank you! I just turned it off and went on YouTube
real rng
@delicate rose Yep, next season we are getting Black Tusk Retaliations.
and matchmaking for Retals!
i PRAYed for this
oh and the "mexico from american TV" filter is getting toned right down.
do their kill squads give new blueprints and stuff ๐๏ธ
God I hate the "mexican filter"...
I was not familiar with D2's game. I just finished the initial campaign, and now Black Tusk have invaded. For kicks I decided to set the difficulty to Heroic on the stadium stronghold, and holy smokes.
@lunar hare Yannick was playing with neutral lighting off in the livestream, and it looked basically back to normal.
I'm not really familiar with "builds" so to speak, but I guess Ill have to look more into them now.
it's not that I hate it ingame, I hate it being a stereotype of my country ๐
@stuck anchor Don't worry about builds at all until you are at Lvl 40, everything below that is the tutorial.
i bet watching breaking bad for you was like pulling teeth.
Just wait for ||Legendary difficulty||
I just got to level 40 hahaha
the
and
being the lamest enemies
Once you learn how to spawn-kill enemies, you are going to love the Outcasts.
just a wall of salsa every time that door opens.
love those bomber dudes
especially when i decide to all of a sudden hit only headshots :)
hey grats!
if you want a cheat-sheet on some meta builds, you can check out the ๐ pinned-message over in #td2-build-advice > ๐ > "spreadsheet 2" > builds. They're good to start working towards.
those
,
, and
dudes make me wanna pull my hair out but theyโre at least cool
i hope they bring Brooklyn defenses to DC and NY and DC outcasts is human cannon ball with those guys shooting out of them ๐น
The true sons are literally lore-accurate JTF.
๐ญ
You can also take them out with leg shots, anywhere but the chest will be fine.
but that's just not as much fun as the salsa fountain.
i guess
i mean like i try to hit the bomb and i just hit everything but
Does anyone else wonder what you would do if you were a Division agent during the apocalypse
retaliation is a forever feature right? plus the exotic blueprints it drops?
yes and yes
Probably be one of the corpses in the DZ, that's what happened to most of the Agents.
can i get the eagle bearer tho
damn really? Rip. They died heroes
so the only limited time is the blacktusk next month? and the exclusive exotic it drops?
Seeing the dead agent in the division 2 reveal cinematic always hits hard for some reason
Black Tusk is permanent too, just the Elite Kill Squads are temporary.
probably go rogue bc i got a snack mid mission
Until when is the kill squad?
Id like to imagine I'd find other agents and we'd support a healthy community of decent humans
Kinda like Jackson hole in tlou2
Elite Kill Squads will last all of next Season.
when next season ends?
finding a fellow agent
then at the corner of my eye see a red watch
๐
Nah, it would be something like:
Petter: hey Mike, did you join the Black Tusk?
Mike: yeah, they pay well.
Petter: that's good!
ISAC: agent Petter now rogue for interacting with enemy
LOL
@tropic breach Seasons last for ages, dw.
no ones knows exactly, but it'll be over a month
basically ๐ซฉ
itโs over for me man
seasons is typically 3-4ish months going off of past history of events. some gets extended
Are Hunters rogue agents or just gigachads
thanks, just got to let my console fam know about it since theyre coming back
I have a feeling next Season is either going to be shorter than usual or longer, depending on Survivors, and the DLC.
but i imagine the elite kill squads aren't going away after the season, it'll just be like the normal kill squad a chance to spawn
I hope the Crossplay comes next month too.
Yannick did mention them only being around for next Season, but he may have misspoken
lemme see if i can find the quote
i remember watching a vid on them but i forgot
but thereโs like a hunter program and stuff
Interesting
i heard it as "this next season we introduce elite kill squads" and whatever they're name is BTSU something something
they're anti-SHD Agents, sort of like people who kill us if we get out of line
run by the calvin dude or whatever his name was
Interesting. So theyre not necessarily evil?
kill squads from BT retaliation, for this season only, can spawn "elite kil squads". Better rewards, and an outfit
apologies for the word salad, i was typing very fast.
btsu team 9 outfit here we go ๐๏ธ๐๏ธ
technically they're not, but they are working for the guy who is allied with BT and the Cabal so 
ah, maybe he said it that way but maybe the elite kill squads will stay past the season
we'll see later i guess?
taking watches as trophies too
not my watch tho
Im really excited to see them added to Fi
Dvision 2
I am fairly sure that if they can spawn after this Season, the raid exo blueprints won't.
I know they'll have an outfit that can drop in bits too.
both of which make me think they're Season specific.
speculation: I predict they'll be added permanently at some point, due to popularity.
i prayed for more btsu outfits
i only got the full fit and the white tusk one
my second character using the btsu data gloves with the btsu bag
negotiators dilemma i think
Hello where is the plan when i drop, i just got the conqueror's and i don't find it in "craft table"
Conquerors?
glove
What brand?
The glove's with bones on it
Overdogs ๐
And conqueror are where?
There are no such gloves to my knowledge. They are called "Overdogs"
Not working๐ฉ
Overdogs might be called something different in the non-English versions localisations of the game
You currently cannot get the reconfiguration blueprint for the Overdogs gloves. Maybe next season. You would need to optimize them
i kinda regret not getting kelsos outfit ngl
I have the game in french and thats good, it's called "conquรฉrant" in french and i have it
Look like my clan doesnโt want to do dark hour with me 
Fr
if you want to be sure you can post a screenshot of it in #ask-td2-community
paradise lost also frying me and whenever i do manage to beat it no exotic
Is dark hour raid in matchmake ?
not if you want the raid exotics
I don't look at the good place i look in glove, but it's in exotic
like all i ever wanted was an eagle bearer
Aye I can just start matchmake then good
yes if you want to waste several hours learning the hard way precisely why raids do not have matchmaking
That what Iโm trying to farm now 
๐ค
I guess I could wait for cross play to come out
Where that at
Im glad I managed to get an EB back in the gearscore days..
glad i got the ravenous, regulus and the ouroboros as well
Also do I need to do dark hour normal or heroic to get the eagle bearer
the black tusk retaliations in the next season i believe
i saw a sheriff blueprint so thatโs cool
Oh shi I canโt do retaliation yet 
why not
Donโt have the red thing to start it 
red thing?
gotta do activites, missions, strongholds 1 run 100% it to agitate them enough to be able to run it
Which stronghold
which ever one ur targeting
i just the do the stronghold to 100% them and go into retaliations.
District Union arena for hyenas, Capitol building for Tru Sons or Roosevelt for Outcasts
^
K
u also get a daily project for agitation
๐ค i didn't test the Black Tusk stronghold in PTS i should try it ๐น
Project kinda hard for me it doesnโt track on screen where way point is for some reason 
i mean i usually just get โdo a x faction bountyโ for agitation or a mission or control point
Oh
just play and youโll eventually get one dw
Improvements that should be made to the prototype equipment:
๐ก๏ธThe maximum armor attribute should be 170k, but with the prototype, it should increase to 200k.
๐ Equipment with a skill tier should grant an additional skill tier with the prototype, resulting in two skill tiers in one piece.
The base attributes should also have their stats increased due to the prototype nature of the equipment. Skill damage: 15%
Status effect: 13%-15%
Skill haste: 15%
i gotta be proficiency 30 to get prototype?
Yep
to upgrade an itme to prototype you need to have it leveled up it 30 expertise
sigh
if i knew id need to be proficient in everything i wouldโve done it years ago
Same, I wouldn't have deconstructed everything and kept everything on junk
might cry later tbh
I mean, proto gear isnt needed for some parts of content, and you can get proto gear from escalations
you can get it from the mode but the drop changes and rng is so bad that exp30 is the easiest route
๐ญ
Proto gear is for higher escalation and more easier casual content
so basically i can just play the game normally
yes
i can do that
for a while, but at some point everyone will catch up
only people that'll have protos day one are like the 1%
And just keep donating junk, get printer filaments and donate those to specific weapons or gear
noted
if youre SHD 1000+ you can just grab filaments that way
i am indeed
Lucky you. I just returned a week ago and Im closing in on 150..
love the 5x exp event
unfortunate u missed the one we just had went up like 200 lvls
Yeah.. I was like a day late
๐ซ
Ohwell.. time to wait for the next one and pull a 36+ hour EXP grind marathon then
hey agents, which channel is for pts feedback?
you might need to hit id:customize and click the PTS role
THX, Cheers to allยดya
๐ hey buddy
hi! nice to see you here ๐
Yea, itโs been awhile. I was taking a break but Iโm coming back for cross play and the other new stuff!
for sure, i 100% look forward to crossplay
Tried adding ya on here. But wouldnโt let me for some reason? ๐
i accepted
Oh, cool. Yea with cross play we can actually speedrun sometime if you wanted. Or just play.
You were on Xbox originally correct? But I see youโve been playing PC?
no, i've always been PC
Really, why did I think you were on Xbox weird lol
Wishful thinking, but I really hope they do a leaderboard set with the update
Reset***
haha, yeah i didn't really get access to console where i was at
I see. Do you guys on PC have visual bugs that make the game look like Minecraft too? ๐คฃ
Itโs been bad lately
okay stupid question but how do i increase expertise level?
Donate junk to expertise to get proficiency
oh we absolutely do, and some others
junk as in just marking items as junk?
Enhanced graphics update. N64 skin
Yea, mark them as junk and then go to a tinkering station and select expertise, should be something toward the bottom of your screen that says what to press to donate all junk, and whatever gets donated will help that gear get proficient which increases your expertise overall
got it and also just using different guns to level them up so just get different weapons and gear to profficient which also contributes?
Yep
ty
is there a voice chat here?
no, not sure the reason but i feel it's more of Moderator's can't exactly moderate it well enough to make judgements of "he said she said"
Would you guys say that the battle for brooklyn and warlords of new york dlcs are worth the money? I'm only level 19 rn but I'm having fun with the game
wony gives you 4 skills, named chest, 8 hunter masks, brooklyn gives you 1 exotic mask, 1 named ar, 1 skill and 8 hunter masks
should at least have a small voice chat for group party made
Gotcha. Does it add much to the story or no?
how would you moderate that if someone decides to use some hateful slang term?
wony kind of does i feel, but brooklyn was just off i feel
is a small group party chat, dont think need those kind of moderate ๐
brooklyn just tickled my div 1 nostolgia complete with the globla modifier
I mean you could just do a private group call at that point
guess you can make your own discord server invite people to it and see how often you end up bombarded with people accusing each other saying slangs that hurts feelings and figure out how to moderate it
private group call is probably 1 level deeper into a temporary group voice chat but i guess that is the best way if there are not a voice chat here due to the worry of moderating
Man sometimes I wish there was duplication protection in this game because oh boy am I sick of getting Sawyer's Kneepads from prio objs lmao
does anyone know where the snitch is it?
i'm just a normal player here so i don't know the reasons, but that's just my take on why it's not here
random spawn near you
The prototype drop rates are abysmal
PTS channel is the other way
what
๐
American history mission (not news museum) then turn around hes at the little hut
the classified mission north of the white house run north? i think
um Southwest were title basin is walk out the safe huse north side and he is at that little concreat pad before the CP
he is not "random"
when i found out i hve to buy the classified missions. ๐ญ
you don't have to, they're just nice little places to fast travel to for activities and what not
oh when i scanned it it brought up a menu to buy it tho?
Hi. New to the server
yeah, if you want to go in an do the mini mission in it
oh but theres stuff around i can do? cool
Anyone else having issues with the kill squads when doing the Potomac park relatiaion they keep running out of bounds and hiding there, when you go out to get them the out of bounds timer sends you back to the safe room when it ends
Running solo today it auto failed my relatiaion cause I was out of bounds when the timer ended..
Im more impressed and wonder why were you out of bounds ๐
i'm mpore impressed they stayed out of bounds ๐น
The line between the two areas Potomac and Constitution Hall is considered out of bounds when you're in relatiaion
Potomac Park.. what sector is this? Foggy bottom?
every retaliation has a out of bounds
the area just above Tidal Basin
Ohhhh west potomac
Its to the east of foggy bottom
can anyone inv me to the national bond classified assignment on heroic pls?
Yeah. Itโs better just to hide behind cover for awhile as it forces them to push towards you when they actually try to get around you. Itโs annoying but it works.
exploiting are we?
Every time I run that area in relatiaion the kill squad appears then the heavy charges me but the rest go and hide out of bounds
