So I just shoot Sheriff until it has 1 pellet swap weapons then swap back, sheriff insta fills to 12 shots no reload
bOM dIA
"I have 140 shells in this 12 shell magazine" - John Agent
If you empty the mag it refill the 12 shots but still queues the reload animation for the 13th shot
Oh god the realisation has hit that I need a bunch of Proto cores
it's like bluescreen with ongoing directive; what reload?
So you leave 1 in on purpose and it’s a great time
I yearn for double damage rounds in spades
Bypasses sheriffs biggest weakness which is the reload
Whoever decided to make a pinpoint KSG with double the RPM and no range fall off was a genius
Super 90
Whoever decided to give it an ornament of all time....concerns me
Oh I’m talking about how the base damage is almost as good as the KSG
Sniper 90
Which is wild to me
Is it even just +35 weapon damage or did they silly it and it’s a multiplier
You could get similar accuracy with send off
I wonder if they'll ever allow us to apply the Prototype perks to our Exotics
I also wonder how high the Prototype perks go, stat wise
You can but you’re not getting that same range, nailing an entire retail door from the CP was cathartic
That has 30 optimal range
Touché it won’t ever beat the primary ARs/LMGs but it’s a lot of fun
Sheriff is definetly my favourite shotgun at the moment
Sheriff is the only shotgun I choose to acknowledge tbh
i tried to make it a head hunter gun when it came out so it felt super awkward, was messing with the stash and finally saw the Centurion's i kept stashed for so long
that one GIF of Shaw from Open Season grinning
I will be honest, the Exotic from this seasons Climax has me feeling.... disinterested
still debating between TS and strikers to go with it but both do roughly the same and TS feels better on the reload of the automatic primary so
will use TS for my personal enjoymen even if the consistency is probably worse
Tipping Scales just has the comically large Crit damage. Which feeds the worms in my brain
.....that is what you're talking about right? I'm not being stupid, as per
TS Backfire 
CoCo Backfire 😮
Anyway. I'm gonna nap, then get absolutely zilch on the Prototype gear front
Crit damage and weapon handling yeah
The extra WH feels great when I eventually have to reload my GR9
I am a fan of using Smart Cover and just swap, swap
Oh would you look at that, a bunch of extra rounds to send down range
I should use Smart Cover more, been kinda sleeping on it. But with BT9s and BT retal farm for descent comms I’ve just been too lazy to swap out EMP sticky
I'm using it with Decoy, I do kinda wanna swap out the Decoy, though. But to what, I have no idea
Hmm, anyway. Toodles, be people and such
Eaglebearer prototype🤤🤤
What is this new glitch where you can't open containers?
precision smart cover gives a bunch of DTTOOC
good stuff
beep beep, expertise 22. 8 to go. feels good.
When will Eagle get a buff? Bring back his talent performance.
Who is this "Eagle", and why do you think he was nerfed?
It's that one thing in golf. The thingy, that things thingily
When you suck too much to get a hole in one, but you're slightly about average, still
I had an eagle show up at my house a while back.
That thing was definitely buff enough, autralian eagles are massive birds.
I stole an eagle once
(I jest)
This is going fantastically
I should try Ravenous
I started a BT Retal, the very first group had a grenadier that was untouchable, then immediately nuked me with grenades that passed through walls.
that's enough div2 for today.
gamers when a gun doesnt have a dps talent
(ignore the part where eagle bearer can make you practically invulnerable in a heated firefight, increasing your dps through survivability)
Big numbers make brain go "awooga"
just run scorpio and spread disease for ur team
I wish we had more war crimes in our arsenal
Just ignore Ouro in the corner.
scorpio, bluescreen, st. elmo, sticky napalm, any stat talent gun with a courier backpack
there's also the pestilence
I think we should invest more time in violating every convention under the sun
Located entirely within your stash?
The Scorpio violates all of it
.....Yes
....can I see it?
i love that shotgun
......no
Hi 
Low
I yearn for more Team 9 lore
Some of them are.... intriguing at best, weird at worst
big al with tipping scales is just funny as hell
Normandy simulator
Rogue agents in escalation should be guaranteed prototype drop
that would be something, for sure.
swap the named drop in escalation from rouges to proto, hey? worth suggesting.
almost two hours farming the gift backpack in the dark zone with providence drop and only two drops with shit rolls
im tired boss
Guys anyone can help me farm shroud / bitter sweet
Raid discovery fills with journey 7?
It's easier to get the blueprint and craft
idk how, new to the game
If you're new just use regular providence
The gift doesn't boost damage or anything just reduces the cooldown by 1 sec
im new, but not that new - I'm already in the endgame and just trying to optimize my build as much as possible. That's just my way of playing the game lmao
What should i farm from exp 21-30 only mods for printer filaments and play some parts to level them up while Playing?
pretty much; we can't target named easily.
the houndsman bounty can be semi-handy for that tho.
I played houndsman yesterday but im very unlucky tbh to get any named ones that i didnt have already
what's the highest mag size you can get with the modifiers?
If you drop out and can't connect back in, might have to give it a couple minutes before trying again for console. For PC we can log out/ in the launcher which tends to fix.
does lady death drop at all?
Yes
@rancid echo the best way to get lady death it find boss in New York in park and kill then log out and try kill again
is it now better to upgrade expertise donating instead of grinding for printer filament, since everything is bonus exp towards it? seems i can max a category in 2 runs of countdown
target loot, try and clear all the gear you can as you'll be able to max out a set every 1-2 runs.
save filament until you've run out of targetable gear, imo.
anyone else still got these bounties? just realized why ppl be zooming on countdown.
Lvling expertise confuses the heck out of me lol
its just grinding item xp
costs so much though
Essentially, you can donate materials (eg filament) or copies of the same thing. Countdown allows for targeting, so you can target 'Ongoing Directive' for example, then junk all the drops, and select the donate option within expertise. Do that for each gear set.
So same for target "masks" junk all then donate?
It'll take on average about 2 runs to completely max out any given gear set. Can also run some gear/ weapons not yet levelled to gain experience as well.
go for brand and gear sets, then work on weapons and maybe houndsman bounty if someone is willing for named items
Yeah hard to get those lol
im lowkey useless in all these runs other than just doing the objectives in countdown, since i have 6 pieces of the same set + random weapons with no good stats but this is the way apparently
I would recommend targeting each gear set first as that will give the most progress.
So all the yellow sets, then all the green.
I will start that
Target sets you don't have. Run spare stuff (couple gear items) you can gain expertise with. Target gear sets you don't have.
thats what im doing
Sweet.
wait big alejandro is one of the hardest hitting weapons in game??
Open world and the rest too, this shit only works in escalation
No, actually.
with global modifiers, unit alloy, and gunner mag i got up to 450. could definitely be higher if paired with unit alloy, patriot gear set, gunner mag and if the weapon attribute is rolled with increased mag size.
450? dafuc
i meant percentage wise
ive already done a 500 mag lmg lol
At this point, "King of Bullets" is just a regular gun.
used an lmg ofc. forgot to include that part
not by default, but when it ramps up it ramps up
big al is a bullet hose, for sure.
where do u get all the other modifiers ?
im trying to test them all but idk where u get them
You buy them at white house
laptop next to specializations station
will need btsu firmware per unlock from vendor next to specialisation station.
i had 4k firmware so im good i guess dont even know u get them lol
oh so thats what thoise firmware things are for lmao
hate it when i start up division 2 it always goes into window mode
this happens to me when i play in borderless
going fullscreen fixes it and its not like the game ever traps your cursor
what time is the daily reset?
already happened at 4am
Trust me but I don’t play borderlesss lol
oh the vendors dont change there stocks everyday?
imma be honest i usually don't go to the vendors like that i really don't know😅
hostages are great; they run half way across the map to agro entirely different groups.. I swear the NPC pathfinding in this game at times..
What does vendors have to offer
what's the non named weapon of the "trader"
Acr ss
ty
Every week at the weekly reset
oh wow got a bighorn from retaliation lol
Alt+enter is the keyboard shortcut to toggle it to fullscreen
thank you mr kettle or miss kettle
Can i still get the regulus by completing the Iron Horse Raid on Discovery Difficulty ?
afaik no, you have to do it on normal difficulty and do the project chain
wow, getting a whole group to run it on normal difficulty is rough though
what's the point of discovery mode then ?
You can use discovery for matchmaking, then swap to normal.
does companion work with shield?
it doesnt right? i forgot
where is the secret vendor bc i have 7k textiles
f
I can’t level up my expertise on anything no upgrade option….anyone else?
you can donate gear, or wear sets you've not levelled yet.
it takes about 90% of all gear we have to reach 30.
Is proficiency maxed on those items?
proficency is 1-10; after that you'll need to level more gear.
Pretty sure he is trying to ++ actual gear here.
You have to find the item in the expertise table, not from the tinkering menu
I’m level 30 and prof in everything pretty much I’m talking the option to bump something up from like 25 to 26
needs mats, including exotic.
The option to upgrade doesn’t show up at the bottom
are you checking via the tinker workbench? are you sure you have enough materials.
it won't block you upgrading if you're at exp 30 for anything you've previously upgraded.
does anyone know where the snitch is
Yes, in one of 42 locations.
@feral knoll dm you
He has a chance to spawn whenever you get close to one his spots, if he doesn't you can check a different spot or just log off and on and check the same spot again, usually only takes two or three tries
right
do i just spamm map
Check a kiosk south west from american museum mission teleport point.
Dz east Charlie cp walk out and go right. Should see green icon on second floor on building on left where there’s ladders
But he also has a 30m cooldown so if you're running around DC and accidentally spawn him somewhere without noticing, you won't get him to respawn for a bit
Instead of log off, you can mm for freeroam exploration/bounty and check other players maps. They also might have vendor unlocked already.
I still think the best spot is the parking lot across the Jefferson trade mission start.
my DMs aren't open.
Personally I like the spot near Space Admin, mainly because bounties in Southwest are generally pretty easy to reach and do, bounties in East mall are more annoying
Did they patch true sons bounties appearing in constitution hall 24/7?
Yeah but him giving a bounty is just a bonus now, because back in the day you were forced to kill the bounty to show the vendors.
Yes but now all daily and weekly bounties appear there instead
Nice.
But if you want to farm bounties, or just visit the snitch often, you'll end up with a big pile of them in whichever area you usually find him
wtf theyre a bonus now????
You don't need to do them yeah, it's just an easy way to farm them in a specific area
brooiooo
bruh why did they make essential pistol like quickstep a limited time...
its really not that hard to find a person with a bounty you just need to wait
and its not essential its a QOL item
checked 7 locations and cant find the snitch
Keep an eye on your lfg channels and you'll often see people offering Houndsman bounties to help you get it.
But yeah it's not great to have something so impactful locked in that way
its pretty much essential lol so useful in cd, dz, retal and etc
Likely he's on a cooldown from some accidental spawn, best go out of dc for a bit then come back and head straight to your preferred spot
ill guess i will wait bc it would notify me right
Is there a weapon called trader
It doesn't
i dont mind quickstep being locked behind something like a limited time bounty, yeah its bad for returning players but if its limited its limited
well thats annoying
Yes, you can claim one of the season pass free track
also can u buy the houndsman bounty ??
Nope
houndsman is a specific seasonal
I’ve seen a few suggestions for leveling up proficiency rn like classified assignments, retaliation on normal mode and the houndsman bounty farm. What would be the fastest way out of all?
dammmm i really want the bell ringer
i dont think there are any at this hour though
i did yesterday and today
Depends what you have already leveled up and what you haven't, and what resources you have to spare - donating items is fastest, so buying/crafting stuff then farming more
can the countdown drop the bellringer ?
mini warhounds lol that has to be some meme gimmick
depends, countdown if you target gear, same with retal.
Part of the Houndsman Halloween event last year and bloody Houndsman valentines event this year
i have a problem with hyenas snipers. can someone help?
Are your kills not tracking? Likely due to active retaliations, just clear or abandon those and it should work. If you're struggling to find snipers, district union arena always has some
It counted the first and second, but it doesn't want the third. I'm trying it on the Grand Washington Hotel mission
Yeah you probably triggered a retaliation from your kills at that point
You probably got a hyena retaliation after the 2nd one, as Kettle said, gotta abandon/finish it
I really hope they can fix that sooner rather than later, this has been so confusing for so many folks
Pretty sure that's a 100% reproducable problem, so it won't work as long as they're active
aaaaand that's the yearly laptop maintainance fee, spill 1 drop of coffee onto the esc button
30 bucks
If I had it from hyenas, I'd understand, but from black tusk? 😄
It's actually a bit weirder than that, I had various retaliations starting while doing the scout and weekly project, and sometimes they stopped the tracking and sometimes they didn't, I couldn't see a consistent pattern
@hidden raven please use #lfg-pc when looking for players to group with
are the servers down or something?
On right now
Ahh, just managed to reconnect, odd
got disconnected at the end of retals and then got mike-01 errors
coffee is supposed to be ingested by thee, rather than ye keeb.
Hello. I am new here and in this game got 200+h and im still learning. And i want to ask is there any possible way to farm Lexington or any upcoming event this year and when?
When the season ends, there is usually a "stretch goal" event, where you can earn caches once your season xp is at lvl100, which can then contain the Lexington
Anyone know of a map where enemies just spawn in forever? I’d like to see if can farm xp without going anywhere lol
You can do the old Summit boss floor farm, kill everything except one enemy, die to them, respawn, rince and repeat. Probably one of the most mind bogglingly boring things I've seen, but I think it's still doable 🤔
Nah I don’t want to die though just looking for infinite spawns like dark hour raid
Does the difficulty in the summit affect the drop rate of exotic items? If it does what difficulty do I need to farm memento
Except 2 enemies spawning in at a time is too little
summit farming the memento is so 5 years ago lmao
Summit is not great for farming gear generally, drop rates are rather low - countdown and retaliations are better, and you can also get some very quick priority objectives that guarantee a random exotic reward
Year 5 player so yea I just came back cause I found the ps disk again
i get a lot of mementos from countdown exotic caches you can try that
Can either of them be done solo? (F ps)
You should try retaliation, it's like normal open world farming but more rewarding and punishing
retaliations yes
Not countdown but retaliations and priority objectives
you cant do CD solo, but you can do retaliations solo if u got a good set lol
Retaliation yes, Countdown, maybe. Good luck dealing with the hunters.
Technically you can, but for farming it's not reliable if Solo.
I looked a little into countdown and its not recommended to use skill build (using my old rigger build so yea) seems retaliation its the best choice for now or priotity objective
Yeah but its not even worth dumping time into, hes better off if he js gets into retal
Theres still a lot of people who dont know that hunters can hack their skills apparently. I almost got killed by a hacked striker drone today bruh.
Correct, because Hunters can hack your deployed skills.
Mainly drones, turrets, and hives.
Luckly I searched about it before I tried to play CD
Yup, sometimes they hack my spotter drone from the sharpshooter specialization, what they gonna do? Expose me on internet? 
Pretty sure I saw a hacked stinger hive as well today. What is wrong with people bruh.
Maybe they think this is conflict
I run a full drone and cluster so yea id be screwed. I started to build a core strength build but I need memento for now cause I play solo
Do hunters outside countdown able to hack your skill?
Oh thanks
Aside from hacking your deployed skills, hunters will jam your skills most of the times anyway.
Priority projects are nice, you can get 2 exotic caches so ill do these for now.
Before you even deploy them.
So weapon builds are preferred anyway huh
You should at least have one meta DPS build.
Anyone still got the Quickstep Bounty ??
Ask in #lfg-pc
Alright 😄
I unfortunately as i just came back single thing thats "maxed" is a Lexington
I do but Im done playing for today.
Carter is hosting parties rn but his parties fill quick
If you have Lexington, you can just change its talent to a DPS talent. Preferably Measured.
Im running a very ragtag build with whatever I had at the moment I started to work on a real build recently
ah ok
got my first prototype gun from rank 0 escalation 😄
Probs been asked before but what’s best way to level skills on expertise? Using them constantly? So a skill build? Or just letting them sit and play normally?
Rn it has flatline, ill change it soon
Yup, and it's probably some AK with swap speed attribute, healing augment and some bad talent, dismantle it 😂
I'd just use materials then donate.
i got mdr with bullet refill
I tried to do a control point on alter 4 and got so screwed
alert 4 is default on heroic lol
Lvl 4 control points are Heroic, same as 3 is Challenging, etc.
luckily, both Lvl 3 and Lvl 4 give you 1 blueprint from the pool.
I find it pretty funny when you're running around in heroic and then a message comes up saying alert level raised to 4.
i lowkey wish 4 had a chance for a second bp and 5 guaranteed it
open world escalation when
I guess with Mutators+Master they could add a 5, but that feels a bit much, when people running it can already just walk through it with the right setup.
to be 100% honest, anyone that can do that, almost certainly has the blueprints maxed out already, years back most likely.
Game has died bravo over and over I keep dc’in a lot since last server maintainance
Was in the zone on conflict too ☹️
justdiv2things but ya, frustrating
I think its a ubisoft connect issue tbh its not loading my avatar or anything weird
everyone want legendary open world until they get locked onto by a drone operator from nyc while in dc
Anyone got the houndsman bounty so I can farm a quickstep would appreciate it
friend of mine needs it too but he's offline. was trying to se if there was another way but seems not
How can i get eagle bearer? its in the general loot pool now right?
Black tusk retaliations
3 runs of tidal basin = 3 black tusk retaliations
one more question, why everyone looking for houndsman bounties? (sorry returning player)
That pistol what makes you run fsst
i couldve sworn i got an increase to alert level 5 on heroic world diff before
ok i got that. ty
maybe i was a bit sleep deprived lol
there was never lv5
no not world tier, i remember doing an activity tied to a cp on heroic world diff and seeing it go up to 5 but like i said i was probably seeing shit
I've gotten that notification on heroic which does nothing when all points on the Map are set to 4🛌
I only recently noticed the Big Alejandro was added during the anniversary as I had been playing other things. Was it only for that time or is it now in the LMG pool?
It's in the general pool now
also has a retal bp
Every exotics that are available from season pass will enter the general lootpool as soon as the season changes?
that's usually how it works, although the devs have been known to forget to add some stuff to some pools for a few seasons
Bruh
you know how the named light machine gun Dare or similar unnamed variant have a bug that whenever you give it a different mag it's a clipping mismatch color mag that's VERY glaring to see?
you ever try the +20 extended mag on a cmmg banshee that is just slightly not tilted enough and sticks out like a sore thumb
while the +15 one is completely fine, they just reused the vector one for +20
how long have these visual issues been persisting? no one knows
Is the Krampus bounty useful to farm anything?
orrrrrr for Proficiency
guys, when is the stretch season goals
The season just started...
but im just wondering if its week 7, 8, 9
It'll be after the weeklies end at the very least
It’s that good he already wants it to be over
we don't know yet, they can delay or advance the end of the season depending how ready they are with the next season's content - the number of manhunt weeks generally gives a minimum length though
Btsu retaliation first time trying went well
Played for not even a minute and i died alr
just don't get sandwiched between control point and the kill squad at the same time
that didn't go well for me even though i killed most of the kill squad
Not even that, its the roamers that weirdly enough and coincidentally spawned JUST OUTSIDE of the control points
wanna hear something fun? kill squad surviving members running OFF the retaliation zone
Cant wait to farm retaliation meter on a not so common faction
they run OUTSIDE of the province you're defending from retal
FORCING you to EVADE the kill squad, making the encounter a waste of time and potentially costing the retaliation
even if you run after them, guess what, that's right, you're teleported BACK TO SAFEHOUSE
done mb
Hey I did the houndsman bounty but I didnt drop the Quickstep. Why?
RNG
@pulsar flame do you still have the bounty?
Nope. A Guy invited me so we did it together. And at the end, i just had a lot of named stuff but no quickstep
hii guys, why cassie mendoza is open but her shop is empty?
Sometimes it does that idk what just try to reset the game
Saw the punch drunk named mask and was thinking if pistol builds are really good? I heard this thing is like a BiS for Regulus, but idk what the Regulus does other than its an exotic pistol
If you land a headshot kill it blows that person up
It can be a beast if you learn how to use it
"Headshot Kills create a 5m explosion, dealing 400% weapon damage and applying bleed to all enemies hit."
its giga explosive rounds
Yo, can anyone please tell me, how do I increse stats on proto items ? The cap has increased, tho how do I reach it ?
You can't optimize it
Have they switched off escalation mode? Idk how to get it to appear at the start of a mission….
You get one stat with a new max value, the rest is gonna be old max. If you're very lucky you get two new max stats. If you hit the jackpot all three
Yes I noticed that, but still I cant reach it(
No, it's a weekly rotation for a random group of missions
Honeslty you prob won't unless you expertise 30 upgrade.
I have core and 1 attribute
Ohhhhhhh that’s why I couldn’t find it. Thanks!
Well my exp level is 30, I didnt find the item lol
Check the map or go next to the countdown vendor to see them
Did you get the prototype from upgrading a expertise 30 item or did you get it from a drop?
I upgraded it
Relog
It's showing false stats after upgrading
For now only a relog can fix it
i got a juicy lexi with 3 max rolls 🙂 and yes even after relogg
I upgraded it like 3 days ago
Can you show a screenshot of it in #ask-td2-community ?
lucky
Okay
not lucky just deserved after spending 40 cores
Only 40
its my 4th try on a lexi other 3 are straight crap
ITs there
I'm sorry so what are you questioning/concerned by?
I sent the screenshot in community chat
Anybody have Houndsman Bounty to farm items? I Need 6/7 runs
Greeting, someone still have the Houndsman for the Quickstep Pistol? (PC)
has anyone ever encounter a movement issue where you can't cover-to-cover and your agent seems to go hongaboogaloos?
Hey everyone
@tender wave
..........look i hook my vpn to somewhere out in the europe doesn't mean i speak dutch or german
?
Ask in that channel
thx but im on pc
Well you have the PlayStation role 🤷♂️
oh my bad
All good
#lfg-pc 😄
🫶
is the Rise Up Supply Drop go towards this season?
is cat bag back
Been in the store once and hasn't come back yet
They should've put it back in the store instead of that teddy bear backpack. Ppl asking for it all the time
It is in the store rn
The cat backpack?
yes
.......yes, car
Holy shit. Nice
CAT BAG CAT BAG CAT BAG
including the 2 dyes and weapon camo
I use to play the division 2 on console now im on pc since it was cheap I only wish i had cross save
Nice
.
Wait, there is a cat bag?
yup
Sheeeee, alrighty then.
little cat inside
Same cross save needs to be a thing asap
I had way too many hours on my ps4 again so grinding again on pc version its a bit
hard bc i done it before it just idk the feeling is different
how do u spawn houndsman if it was only halloween boss?
As do I for Xbox granted I probably could still with the Xbox game pass cloud play but I don’t see the need to pay 30 bucks just to do it
If you know someone that still has the bounty
Someone gotta have the bounty, start it and leave the session/close the game before completion or abandoning it
got catharsis mask is it good ?
its ok
Any clans on PC taking in returning players I'm just getting back into the game and would love ppl at with and such
Great for PvP
Hello
Hai
it took 2mins to finish the warhounds, but they chose to protect the engineer instead 🤦♂️
yeah trying to remember my old build i use to have before i made the switched to pc
got a bighorn from Roosevelt
Can Field Prof caches drop an exotic or is it limited to just named/gear/high-end?
whatever it says it can drop is the only thing it can drop
Alr alr, tho it can drop set gear items and it doesn't really explicitly say that so thought there was an offchance it had exotics as a rare asf drop, thanks for clarifying
np
Do you like the new "escalation" system ?
You remember what gear set you used? Or what type of build
HIGH crit high damage
it was like a high damage dealing high crit chance and high ar and smg damage build bac kthen
Stryker more then likely then or heartbreaker
yeah but i dont think i evered used that in division 2
Does it count when i play stronghold Retaliation with a priorty objective quest?
There's no stronghold Retaliations
Escalation i mean sorry
Don't think im gonna make it to expertise 30 with the event
Check the in-game clan list and read descriptions, lots of friendly active clans at the moment
I mean they have kinda forced the issue locking prototype gear behind that or obnoxiously low drop rates with even lower chances of getting anything you can actually use@edgy fable
Nobody "needs" prototype gear. It's really only valid for higher tier Escalations. Especially new players shouldn't run for it and burn themselves out in the process
Expertise is a system that people slowly grinded out over time. If you're pressuring it you'll really just burn yourself out most likely
Im not a new player I've even restarted on PC. Also saying dont go for the best tier gear in a looter shooter is kinda silly
Its the devs fault they dont think things through
Devs would say it's your fault for expecting instant gratification 🤷♂️
I have a problem, I can't go to New York City. It says I have to buy it. What's the problem? My experience is 400, and I completed New York before. Is there a problem with the season?
This may be a stupid question but I assume you can only tinker a weapon or item once, like you cant keep tinkering with an item after you've added an attribute or talent?
@edgy fable O its instantly gratification expecting to progress your build at all after running a mode 20 times......the nerve of me
There's no need to rush it since it's meant to keep us busy long term. If you wanna rush it, that's on you
@edgy fable Do you know a solution to the problem?
I have a problem, I can't go to New York City. It says I have to buy it. What's the problem? My experience is 400, and I completed New York before. Is there a problem with the season?
You can only change one attribute per Item
Say you change from arbor to weapon damage on a chest piece you are not able to also change a minor attribute on the same item, but you can change it back to armor or skill tier
Did you complete it during last anniversary season? It was made available for everyone free of cost for the duration of it
@edgy fable Dude they added a system into a 6+yr old game to make people refarm all their builds........but me expecting to make any progress is me rushing....could you be anymore of a shill for these devs
I didn't say I'm a fan of it. Give your feedback via official channels if you wanna be heard.
I feel like people more than gave their opinion on prototype gear
I still looking for any information that will be confirmed, do the prototype items continue to work in Invaded Dark Zone ,or its bug and will be fixed on update on 21 April
There's no mention of that. It should be normalized in all DZs. Report it via bug reporter. Obviously the devs won't know about unless it's reported in order to fix it
They have already increased drops and more changes are coming. We are free to not like the update, but it's demonstrably false to indicate they don't think things through
They don't tho, lol
Also calling anyone a shill for not agreeing with your specific take is not a strong argument
Or, didn't. In several aspects
I'm a straight forward/blunt person so I can take that from others 😄
Prototype Gear is HANDLED DIFFERENTLY in certain modes, including Raids, Incursion, and PvP (Dark Zone and Conflict).
In these cases, Prototype items are normalized, with stats set to lower end of the Prototype range, and Augments disabled.
There you go
I died on the aaron keener fight and now he wont come out of his shack
Soft lock bug. Gotta redo it AFAIK
I have to redo the whole mission?
Si. Unless there's a trick I don't know of
Man I love losing a Retaliation because some idiot keeps running off on his own and dying multiple times -_-
if im understand correctly its can work on any game mode completely different, only Augments dont work
As I think they Will continue to work Attribute not arguments in Invaded Dark Zone, And another two Dark zones they will make PVE only
The gear is normalised much like all the other gear is; stats are split between pve and PvP.
You basically get a max rolled item with regular max stats but no augments
Lower end proto is regular max roll
And prototype working in any DZ is an anomaly
@feral knoll currently no in Invaded Dark Zone gear working ,Armor ,weapon Damage etc ,tested already
It's normalised, not turned off.
Just got a proto LMG with Echo + 17.6 WD + 14 Damage out of cover. But the weapon talent itself ain't the best and the base weapon isn't too strong either 🫤. I feel like they should at least let us change the weapon talent.
There is an update on the way, give them time to actually make proper changes.
@edgy fable But to find gear which need for pvp in prototype its almost impossible, I made 1 gear set to pvp its cost me over 2000k shd watch, over 1k exotic components, lol and no many players will be running with max out prototype gear
I will forever remind people to stick together when running retal. If people are belligerent and run off anyway, they can learn consequences of abandoning the team (don't do this).
Again, prototype gear is normalised for PVP. Its not intended for that purpose.
@feral knoll do you day 1 player ?
I know that. Simply don't prototype unicorn gear at this time. Especially since it's not working in the DZ, or not intended to work there
If you believe it does work in any DZ, record video clips and report it via the official channels
I go into the DZ but that's irrelevant, the developer has specifically stated that prototype gear had it's stats normalised for PVP, that includes the DZ.
@feral knoll Bro you are delusional they released a new gear tier into the game that doesnt even effect skill builds, but you wanna argue they think things through
@edgy fable Its 100% working but only in Invaded Dark Zone
I smelled the conflict in this chat from my desk
Then go report it, it will def. get fixed once the devs know about it
I am not going to respond to this repeated argument at this point. You keep bringing this topic up again and again, so let's just accept that I don't see it from your perspective and move on. You are free to not like the update. That is your prerogative. Not mine.
Please report this; if there is currently a gap where stats are NOT normalised in the DZ then that's unintended. Capture video or screenshots if you can. Will help ensure fair play.
I mean yeah, people will get the consequences, but it sucks that the entire team has their experience ruined as a result. Just makes me want to play solo. Which is lame because this is a "cooperative" game, but the reward for cooperating just seems to be added liabilities.
If be happy to run retal with you, anytime.
@feral knoll The guy who tagged and responded to me first isn't going to respond.....sign me up
Can I get bitter sweet from target loot ? I don’t have it right now
It should be available now
Ok ty
I js got a basically maxed 3 roll bighorn first craft 😭
Alternatively get its crafting blueprint from Retaliations
@magic rock Yeah its in targeted loot and exotic crates
Same goes for shroud too
Can you make me one too? 😉
Sure give me your life savings
Bet.
watch his life savings be 5 pennies 😭
Have you seen this economy? Eesh.
any intel why bt named doesnt count on bounties for weekly? ty
I would post it but idek where I can post the screenshot in this discord where it'd be appropriate lol
There is a suspected bug with retaliation, make sure one isn't active.
active means the countdown clock is running right and i have to abort this one?
Infinity is the way to go
Been farming prototype gear between tier 3-6 and have had mixed results. Sometimes I’d play and get 2, 3 and at most 4 drops! Often times I’d get 0. But they are of poor quality.
Was wondering (for those who’ve completed up to 10 tiers) if it is even worth the extra effort from tier 7-10. Is there a high chance of getting more drops or better quality (god rolls)?
If we are still getting poor quality at higher tiers or about the same amount, guess I’ll stick to the lower tiers 😅
Yes'm active or red
All seriousness though I probably just used up all my luck for the year by crafting this damn thing.
ty
I'm scared.
Ive done it ive found a build with so much shield it looks like a solid line
It's rough imo. There is a title update coming later this month, I hope we see some drop rate changes and or daily targeted loot make it to escalations.
New exotic
We need a new exotic smg tbh
So higher tiers not worth grinding?
@feral knoll Before New York, was normalised DZ and No ,Invaded never was Normalised ,For example if you have 3% crit chance in your weapon in normal Dz if you rerol its anyway will be 6 %, but when you was going to Invaded its will still show 3% even if you roll 6%, its was mechanics done by Massive
And Massive all the time was have talent on each item ,only chest armour, and back pack have 2 ,
Now its looks like Massive working again on game
The higher tiers have higher chance, but it's still clearly quite low percentage.
MAJOR QUESTION: let's say if someone get a blueprint, specifically a raid weapon blueprint for one that you can only get from a raid, can such person craft that weapon and own it??
Yes.
So there is possibility of walking out empty handed, even though I’ve gone through the pain of a higher tier(s) 😭.
Might just stick to the mid tiers then 😅
Mm, I am hopeful for improvements, just might take an update or two. I think they will tune it more.
Iam half way to expertise lvl 30 now 15 damn damn it’s too Grindy
you think 15 and under is grindy? 😲
wait till you get to 19-20+ 😭
20+ is about where all the gear sets are done and it's down to skills, exotics and named gear. All things that one can't really target.
Unironically got the opposite issue
Got most of the named items done, just need to grind out armor sets, skills and exotics
Target sets in retal/ countdown. An entire set takes about two challenging runs in CD.
@crystal forge check in #lfg-playstation
Thanks
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.
Oh sry about that
Gotta wonder just how much printer filament has been collected by Agents this week..
uh. math
I'm so glad I'm already max expertise. Now I can equip whatever gear is strongest without having to worry about levelling proficiency.
Nice place to be. I'll get there eventually. Expertise 21 and counting.
I've gained 19 levels over the last 4 weeks or so. Only really got stuck in the last two-three weeks. Only started using countdown in like the last week, lol, so not even mad.
hey guys iam new to div 2 , and currently running a core strength with an AR and an LMG , i've been hoarding everything in my stash but i have no idea what to save and what to dismantle . . .
Honestly you'll learn as you play the game
Ik that sounds vague and unhelpful, but thats the truth lol.
thanks , but is there a general rule
Just recently I dismantled a hallowman mask even though I really needed it and now im depressed.
Gutted
It's so easy to do, I accidentally donated a dark winter oops
You don't really need it
like , should i focus on max stat gear ?
Let me rephrase, it woulda been really helpful for the build i wanted to get
Use Contractor's instead with 1pc Ceska for the Escalation build
It's also easy to absent-mindedly scrap a pile of junk from countdown and then remember that I'd not donated it yet.
Depends on what kinda builds you wanna go for in the game.
where do you donate gear ?
Godspeed!
Expertise menu
For me, I scrap 90% of things that are anything skill related because I'm not interested in skill builds at all
"Gotta deconstruct this duplicate exotic... oh oops it just deconstructed all my junk"
Only red or dead, huh.
hey I do keep some skill stuff just not alot lol
another followup question , i've been marking gear left and right but it says cannot donate . . .
is bittersweet farmable or will it still not drop
Means you've already maxed that weapon proficency wise then
no i haven't . .
I was just spamming shift wondering why my message wasn't sending. I'm beyond cooked.
Mark as junk, don't mark for donation
I probably should've asked, what are you donating it for.
can the gear in stash be donated ? or should it be in my inventory
From inventory only
ah ok . . . .
I mean it's only one expertise tier, Michael, how much could it cost? 10 filament?
I'm now sitting on a couple of cores but I won't have mats to push another item to 30 any time soon so maybe I should try some rerolling... 🤔. I really don't think Amalgam is working on my chest piece.
Happy farming for exotic components 😄
All the components. All of then
how do i add another attribute to my gear ? i see people running around with 3 attributes
any brandset item only has two attribute slots and one mod slot
any gearset has only one attribute slot and only one mod slot
in some cases they don't have mod slots
Some cases means kneepads, holsters and gloves.
Do you mean attributes or cores? Some exotic backpacks can have all 3, ie red, blue, yellow.
cores or mod slots I guess
get this man a cold one
World famous and much beloved Ninjabike Messenger Backpack perhaps
Or the Chillout mask, or improvised gear
I want one too, pls
bartender, two beers, please
Real beer tho, not American beer :>
Only one, I don't drink
I honestly don't think I can do that grind again. I will wait for exotics to come naturally or for an event before I try to upgrade another piece. 😟
I need chill out mask I have not had a single drop on me in countdown
I'm in the same boat as you. It's a farce
Because it doesn't drop on countdown
it's a named item limited to Christmas event
and Houndsman minihounds
Drops are shit, so you wanna upgrade your own gear. All you can get is bits and pieces of exo components here and there
Oh
So I have to wait for Christmas?
People are running the houndsman bounty, ask via #lfg-playstation to join a group.
The groundsman 
Special evens usually drop seasonal items as well; for now, go look for someone with Houndsman bounties
Alr
Let hope I don’t get shredded in houndsman bounty lol
Just kill the dogs, no need to kill the hunter. That would end the bounty anyway
The bounty is in the same place each time, there are tiny doggos out the front that can be farmed that have a chance to drop naked items. It can be reset and run repeatedly if needed
Basically kill the mini hounds in the first area, leave (run out of range), start bounty again, rinse and repeat
K
so if i make my weapon proficient , it gives me 1 percent damage increase , so that's it right, expertise just gives 1 percent increase damage to weapons
There are 30 expertise levels, which requires gaining expertise in about 90% of all skills, weapons and gear sets.
read the Expertise category in the Lvl40 Starters Guide
^^^
thanks a lot
Phew rerolled my Amalgam into Paradox 👍 . I'll take it.
Reason I need it is for build 🙂
Mine is doing the same thing.
Ye it's missing the skin slot. I had reported that last week but it's still "pending review"
https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/game/the-division/the-division-2/bug-reporter/issues/TCTD2-443
Hey inf wanna do houndsman bounty it say u got role on PlayStation:)
I'm on PC. Just have those roles so I can link channels to help others find the right channels
Oh
which rifles are the best to use in game ? iam using artist's tool with perfect rifleman and it feels nice to play , is there any better ?
I like using my Bakers dozen
As an LMG enthusiast I'll not weigh into the rifle question. 🙂
I prefer using grenades 
Mmmmmm LMGs
Any game I play I love me my MGs.
I heard the UIC15 MOD-something has the best feeling out of all
Baker's dozen has that nice talent when you shoot from cover your missed bullets go back to the mag
they're just too good
huge mags and big RPM and free DTTOOC
who needs shields anyways
i love artist's tool with a hsd handling build
kindly share your best LMGS , i would love to know more about them 🙂
nothing like being in the final fight of a legendary and my game decides its gonna blow itself up and boot me back to the start and get stuck at 100% when i try to fast travel back to the team
Oh that sucks.
Has any 1 else lost there proto gear out there inventory
and delta-3
my graphics were so bad the whole time i shouldve given up at the beginning ig
I still got my guns but my proto gear pieces have disappeared
try in #lfg-playstation
?
partial to Bluescreen and Big Al. Pestilence isn't bad either.
was your inventory full? they also stop being marked as the same gear if you use loudout
have you relogged?
Carnage with OD builds also are molto bene
Carnage is great; big fan of bullet hose LMGs + bleed + more status effects.
I am gonna really hope you didn't share login with someone..
Someone once asked when I was running OD if I had an EP build... sadge 
@feral knoll nope dont share with any 1
good stuff; checked your stash?
Ye
Is it true tier 0 escalation has zero chance to drop a prototype?
0.2% per enemy at t0
Yeah RNG 
ubisoft is telling u not to farm it basically
It's why I'm not bothering 
quite the opposite really xD they want you to spend so much time you get indoctrinated and never want to leave.
not bothering until I hit expertise 30, or at least until the current boost week is over.
Stockholm syndrome is nice this time of year
Tryna keep ppl playin til div 3
keep player counts to justify continued funding
The tokens also just make it tedious.
I heard survival is coming out for div2? is that true?
Yes. Eventually.
There is no ETA AFAIK right now.
I fully admit I may have missed a memo though.
Ac black flag 2 im waiting for
me too brotha me too
the only game i was almost 100% if i didnt get a bug 😭
what gear do people normally use with The Sheriff? im using it to proficient it but its really fun lol
I use a True Patriot and Centurion build with the Setup to make Hunters easy to melt
i had The setup with it to level that too it was so nice in countdown poking from far and watch the team destroy hunters
And then the big fireworks show for making them die under full flag 
what skills and secondary you got with that?
what a menace xD
Mind you it's only in Countdown I do that.
Does even better when someone in the group is running Ongoing Directive 
i might need a good countdown build here soon since im almost done with named items
i can almost taste experise 30
even better when a Foam CC is in
I might use that instead of the fire sticky
i was thinkin that\
Can anyone on ps5 help me get the quickstep please gt:dropmagiic
i think someone told you to try #lfg-playstation earlier
Just remember to use Survivalist instead of Technician, works wonders
Yeah. Here.
If I get a prototype piece of gear for a gun I have 0 expertise on, can I use that prototype gun to level up said expertise?
Always have survivalist in those builds. Cause I have a sledgehammer FAMAS I could use 
I mean... it comes to reason you could cause it's still a piece of equipment
the amount of amps you apply to those hunters is surreal
Opp, Scorpio, Survivalist AMP, Sledge...
Since they technically come level 30, I wasn't sure if it would still "count" so to speak.
ahh, the good old blinker vision let's just kill endless waves of dudes and let the CD timer elapse, lol.
Oh god the one limiting factor in CD and no one paid attention.
Standing on the objective watching the clock roll down and even the server gave up, lolol.
So question to get ravenous blueprint do i play black tusk retaliation or just regular territory i have done 20+ black tusk retaliation & nthn

Retaliations are how to get those blueprints. Your RNG has just been that bad
Lmaoo broo
I mean I'm not even mad, it's just hilarious how focused players get.
I dead ass got every blueprint but that😭😭
Everyone gets so eager to show off their DPS and how well they can merc and then forget This is an objective based mode
I am but a humble LMG enjoyer, so the ultimate Mouse+W user but come on, hahaha.
I mean I've had 2 days where I've lost CD's because they were to busy shooting and forgot to shoot the flare at extraction
Hehe LMG go brrrrrrrrr 
I think I've only had one in the past few weeks that were that focused. Outside of the group getting stopped by the Hunters prior to the exit.
which mission was it that gives a ton of white deaths
anyone know why my active modifier turns off when i join countdown?
probably dependant on host if they have it on or not
hmm yea that would make sense ig
bc Countdown doesn't admit any global events at all
Overdrive events, on the other hand, are admitted
afaik it just doesn't admit them 
ive been able to use my modifier in most of my matches tho? even turn it on sometimes if it is off
modifiers work fine, as long as the leader has it enabled/
i vaguely remember a long memory of using zealot in cd but patched out i think
like the offensive one that shocks i use a bit in there
ohhh, wtf that's new to me
I've always known they were not available
Wait... Replicas cannot be upgraded in prototypes ?
Roosevelt Island
Ah no nvm I forgot I had to unequip xD
the emp modifier is very good in CD, locks down hunters trying to heal.
How’s everyone proto gear grind going ?
Almost have 6 gear pieces
I could break one rifle i got earlier to max out via expertise
exactly what i use it for lol but one of them is immune to it for some reason
Aye good stuff ! You making a build out of them ?
4 pieces are just striker upgraded, one was fenrir glove i got as a drop
I didn’t even know you could do tha
When you upgrade an original gear does it keep the core stats it has or randomise them?
Keep core stat and talents
But one stat will be maxed out to over the cap, the rest is random or not if gets over the cap
I’m guessing the one that gets maxed out over is the one that’s purple
When working on my expertise should I far mods for printer fill? or go for whatever it is I need,or is there a way to farm it a certain way to maximize the leveling? anyone have any suggestions? it doesnt feel like 3x does much atm
How many proficiency levels out of 472 do you need for 30?
420 is the number i was seeing
crashing just as I leave countdown. *chefs kiss*
atleast you shouldve kept the stuff from the hunters? lol
You keep all the loot you got if you crash, yes.
yeah about that - the server wasn't happy I think; rash of disconnects shortly before we hit the last set of hunters.
I did make it out tho - one of two people - lol.
If you want to be the more proeficient (without having fun though)
Equip every slot of something not xp (don't care about what is it). Means also skills, specialization, weapon and armor. Doesn't have to be set. Make sure to have 1 exo armor and weapon as it is what you'll max last.
Go to countdown, target what you don't have for now. Do challenging, not heroic.
Swap everytime something is maxed.
And no, for me, targetting mods is not worth. Even if you're full expertise of what you loot, you'll get a bunch of resources (1600 to 2000 white + green + blue) you can donate.
save filament for stuff you cannot easily farm for; run spare sets, target loot, CD on challenging is pretty zen with a group, or run retals targeting anything you don't have, gear sets particularly.
Yeah kofeyh is right too, save all resources for stuff you don't have or exos. Named limited items and so.
im in the last 5 levels to go and its slowed alot once i hit 20 x.x
I know like half the youtube channels go on about filament every time there is a boost, but earlier on, target all the sets, both High-End and Gear Sets.
the only time filament makes sense is if there is a materials boost and or you've run out of sets and gear to expertise/ donate for.
Wait for the last 2 levels... It took me 5 hours each xd
Hey I am new to this community and I am level 20 but still grinding but I don't know how to get better yet
oh lord. any advice? i basically have just exos and a few loose named weapons to finish? should i target the weapon sets or keep doing mods?
Yeah I mean filament was a thing when there were the alts thing. Or if you can manage like 100 lvl an hour (which I highly doubt), I mean... Maybe it would be the same.
Also for the last two weeks, auto deconstruct mods hasn't worked, like at all - suddenly today? working like a charm, lol. Game do be like.
I’ve got 912 SHD level rewards and I want to prioritize expertise. Is it better to use it on printer filaments or cash (to then buy gear or gear mods to deconstruct) ?
Mods are good when there's uncrafting or when you can use watch 1000+ on them... And manage to lvl fast. Otherwise... It's a trap, for me. Equip those exos on you and run countdown. I'd say target something like armor or a weapon so you can drop exos you'll likely need later (for prototype). Btw you level faster a weapon if u have it in arm, not in secondary slot.
ive run out of non exotic gear to expertise and man
the core strength set is so goated for set and forget, just flat buffs for any weapon youre levelling in countdown
last 5 levels is gonna be wearing/ using stuff and filament yeah.
Don't forget skills too. It's slow, but hey, progression is progression.
that explains why my 2nd weapon seemed to slow waaay down lol
@signal dagger thought so , so your saying use all materials also
Yeah I think it's 2x or 2.5x faster but not sure of the numbers exactly 😅
i can confirm after 2 back to back heroic retaliations i got Ouroboros AND The Ravenous back to back. sadly peeps had to go so i couldn't 3 for 3 😢
im still targeting mods because theres a fair amount of exotics i simply just dont own
still running with exotics equipped to level tho
I mean, you'Ll need materials later but honestly, I'd say take this 3x xp and use everything on it. You can farm back materials later - but we don't know when will be the next event.
makes sense
i was holding 2k on each until today when im like... im gonna just throw all of it at this event
Was u the host or u joined or was u solo
only 10 levels left to go\
i was host
If you can farm those exotics on countdown, I'd say target farm them. You'll get a lot of mats for uncrafting and you'll also have a chance to drop it. Otherwise yeah I mean, it's similar beside exo drop. But if you wanna do prototype, those 5 or 10 exos you'll loot for the same proeficiency will be useful I swear 😅
ill have to switch to weapon type to try and pull more of the named ones and maybe a few exos
Soo i need to be host but i have to do regular black tusk missions to even start it right
I’ve finished all gear sets baring system corrupt the longest part for me is skills
Yeah gear sets were fast but damn, exos and skills... xd
no you don't have to be host, i joined someone who had heroic true sons and i got lady death blueprint and some others
at this point i have no kneepads holster or mask named to work on so i have some maxed gear on til i can swap in an exo
Yeah that's what I was doing.
nope, theyre all ones from specific sources
like raids, quests, etc and im not taking the time to go out of my way and do those first when the clock is ticking
i know they are now craftable via retaliations, which is why i make sure i have black tusk progress building up as i do countdowns then run 3x, but its a slow road and i know i wont be able to get all of them AND level them up at the same time
Red strikers different gun lol
But for ravenous u had to be on black tusk right & u got it at the end
Yeah I understand then. I didn't want to farm them either as I wanted to maximize the event to get 30. Feels bad I didn't farm before but well haha
Red striker with a sniper. 🤡 (Yes I did it xd)
yes, 50% chance on Heroic
Well my luck is shi becuz i have done it 20+ times lol but is there a wayy to que for only black tusk or i jus gotta join & leave until
you could just
get your own black tusk retaliation
then matchmake and not accept any invites so it makes you a group leader and you can queue your own
yea after i learned that i just repeated tidal basin on heroic till i filled the bar 3 times and start mm for retaliation, i have never locked in this much before
How long is retaliation staying for
@opal crown Retaliation is a permanent game-mode.
Team-9, the Elite Kill Squad, are just for this Season.
Regular Kill Squads are permanent.
Think I’ll rock HS at that point lol
I was lazy to swap.
fellas, overdogs reconfigure bp bug also got fixed
23, hnnn, 7 to go.
am sure its already been discussed or reported somewhere, but the new Classified Mission is bugged right? the library one
Also, don't forget to craft+donate improvised gear, like I have and am now crafting up a storm.. lol.
i need to grind those diamonds, i need to craft ravenous and vindicator
We got a channel for escalation lfg?
POG
Just general LFG #lfg-playstation
Do you know if there's guidance for the scout mission for y8 ?
Ah ok thank you
Thanks brother
Hello, anyone know when crossplay is supposed to be coming?
sometime this year but not season 1
Thank you, i thought I saw april but guess i was wrong
@kindred sail Ur my goat 🐐
if i fail the "snitch" bounty , is there a way to take it again ? or is it lost
the equalizer has a mat/blueprint drop?? how do i farm it??
id assume reconstructed caches? but it might be in some other pool
Unit alloy target loot
They asked for the blueprint tho
I assumed they just want the piece
the equalizer has a mat/blueprint drop?? how do i farm it??
Ok 😄
either is fine lol
thats what I thought
hey returning player here whats the best way to get exotic blueprints nowdays ?
retaliations
ive seen that mode but it doesnt let me play it and the one time i could it only lets me do it on normal
thats because retaliations are tied to your world diff, if your world diff is normal, youre only going to get them on normal
if your world diff is on hard, youre only going to get them on hard diff
And so on and so forth
^
and just play missions for the faction you want to rank it up quickly, it goes by super fast.
to get them started just kill the faction you intend to fight, specially long missions for them
activities, bounties, checkpoints and random patrols all count towards the agitation meter
(BT also gradually goes up by fighting any other faction, but is best to do the Invasion to rank it up quickly)
ohhh ok that makes alot more sense im guessing the count maxes out at 3?
game is genuinely becoming infuriating to play
like why is the sniper shooting me and not my teammate actively shooting the sniper
u have bigger dps output
that can’t be a real thing
it is
It's called threat
bruh
if youre using striker and youre at max stacks, youre out-dpsing everyone and as such, youre the one with a bigger threat level, been the case since Div 1
AI will tend to focus highest threat; striker is both a blessing and curse.
did have like 5 suicide bombers running at me at once so
Shoot them when they're grouped up, then you'll have none running at you.
yeah youre the biggest threat for the enemies, so theyll target you specifically until someone else out-dps's you or you die
nawww, poor hug buddies, they just want a nice warm cuddle..
They just want to give you salsa and then vanish.
i never get out dps’d
Threat consists of several factors. Not sure I fully know what's all part of it but it's for sure damage you deal to NPCs, firing time, distance/proximity towards the NPCs. Also visibility/LoS
well, now you know then that you'll always be the biggest threat all the time
these dudes really stop shooting while still aiming at me and eating bullets from every angle it’s embarrassing
they only want to hug you
tho the only other time you may not be focused is if someone is a little too close for them
actually does decoy works in this situation?
Ye. Decoy generates threat
even if someone is kicking high DPS build?
maybe i should start using those
Depends on its expertise level I might say
it's still threat based; if you are rolling huge DPS then drop a decoy, basically have to stop shooting for a bit to let it draw agro. Also it generally has to be line of sight for NPCs to care.
today i failed Lego and Recruiter because team didnt played for shit
suicide bomber running PAST my teammate to blow me up
Pretty common lol
i got so resigned that i turned out the game and went to watching frisky vids
you are a hot one why do you nag 😛
.... wat.
I think they mean they got frustrated and turned to.. other content. But I can't be sure.
even have a clip of a hyena rc car. driving in circles bc it couldn’t get to me and couldn’t be bothered to attack anyone else

OnlyHugs. They just want to hug.
they just wanna play
tired of them too
yes, it can work but if the DPS is the biggest threat, the decoy is useless, but they become useful once the biggest threat goes down
whats that sign?
cuz remember, at tier 0/1, its only 100% threat which will quite rapidly be put on a lower priority
time da hell out
thanks guys for the tips i will probably be back with some questions though lol
like gtfo?
what level of escalation matches legendary difficulty? 5?
supressors also decrease threat, but dont quote on me that since they did in Div 1 and they told you about it, Div 2 no clear indication
Nothing matches it really
actually this threat mechanic in Div2 is described rather poorly
level 5 means 500% of npc health and dmg
The bow guys are so sassy!
_Oooo supressed, how original! 😐 _
@edgy fable i was mulling over goin all red in a legendary hahah ok maybe il take a back seat
prototype gear drop challenge
imo escalation is lame
yeah you'll immediately get domed if youre full red, tho unless youre going to have something that keeps you alive like liquid engineer or you got a medic with you
You can. No need to be anxious about it. Practice makes perfect, everyone's been there I might say
in terms of getting proto raids shall work better
just bloodsucker talent, or memento
i just had it drummed into me early on off players to go atleast 3 blue on a legendary
Positioning is the key. Spawn knowledge helps a lot.
or high AOK
this too, but also survivability is key too
That is your survivability
about to close the app ngl
i used to use the crutch of striker but i switched to OD with Liquid Engineer, i used to get domed as quickly as a striker
like i literally cannot play the game
btu ever since i got that Liquid Engineer, with the Tinkerer for steady handed, ive just become a sentry
Liquid Engineer is pretty mid
Stoner+Tinkerer to have a second LMG with Steady Handed, thats it, all i need is someone under a status effect and ill just get the ball rolling
whats considered good dps for a legendary? if your doin 600k-700k is that deemed good?
obviously hindered by 3 blue cores
Try all red. Use tall cover. Corner peek to take out NPCs. Prioritize the ones that would harm you there
Usually drone ladies and grenadiers
uninstall the app
@edgy fable dude they aint no ladies they fight dutty
bruh i just died in heroic and got fully wiped back to start (90% of mission done) cuz my hive drone didnt work insane..
il maybe play some more escalation all red and try play better to get hit less while dealing good dps before i try all red legendary....i have done plenty legendaries but usually plenty survivability and missions lasted hours
WHY GAME WHY
anyone wana sanity check me
WHY DID THE DAMN HIVE DIDNT WORK, HELLO
yeah i’m uninstalling this game
@turbid kraken it happens alot that
pestilence reload speed seems to not be affected by weapon handling.
solid 20 min down the drain cuz of bug, wild
is that how it works or is it bugged
i have honestly no idea, my character dropped the hive, the hive disappeared and i died lol
your hive can get destroyed
have had it happen before
i dont think its a bug pretty sure an enemy or explosion or some such can destroy the hive before it revives you cause it does have HP
are priority objective daily? or can i spam them as much as i want
you can spam them
dope, will def help me get my SHD watch level up

Check out his vids. Watch and pay attention
+2mln exp for completing stronghold, gimme my exp. Nah but fr iam pissed off, that my hive straight up disappeared in the last boss fight
hive can be burst damaged by NPC standing over you, also there needs to be enough room for it to drop, if you are hard up against an L shaped wall when you croak, the hive can mis-deploy due to obstructions. Also if there is anything EMP related forget it.
it probably broke
the enemies can destroy it
Hive is not 100% reliable unfortunately, no skill really is. I've fired foam at dudes and they just walk straight out, random hunters ignore the new EMP seasonal ability, and so on.
can 100% relate to the frustration, all the same.
Thats one reason i could never do hardcore mode. I dont want to go days in game then get death by hive bug :/
It didnt break. I got sniped and went down behind cover
And afaik outcasts dont have EMP carrier unless i missed something
Hunters are elite enemies after all. They have high hazpro.
Also please dont use striker drone, and assault turret when fighting against hunters, I almost got killed by a hacked striker drone yesterday.
Pretty sure I saw a hacked stinger hive as well.
So what should i focus on i jave no odea
I just saw a message about proto and raid. Isn't it only a cache of 2 proto cores each week ? I mean, raids takes a bit of time and knowledge no ?
I did the incursion and got 2 proto core... It's only to upgrade the proto gear no ? 😭
Upgrade and reroll the talent you get. I also think you need them to level up the talent.
Well 2 proto for a full incursion seems not a lot actually xd
You can upgrade regular gear to proto gear with cores. You'll also need them if you want to change the augments on it
Costs one core to upgrade to proto. The costs to change augments increases exponentially ~
hnnn, you know it's time to change servers when you attempt to use cover and rubber-band between two points like 100 feet apart.
WTF new gear set core strength in pvp is over power
3pc core strength with chest
Picaro Holster
Unit alloy
Ninja back pack
And its have +6 skill level
2.3 mil armour
77k weapon damage in pvp
When regular all red build with 1 m armour around 54k weapon damage in pvp
Do they done pts or its joke
Yup that seems the general consensus about CS in PvP
yes they tested, hence the PTS. That does not automatically mean the set will be perfectly balanced right out of the gate.
real quick i’m coming back to division and like i can’t remember where my character went should i just completely restart
I mean... yeah, your char dissappeared so
just had a dude go afk on a 300% heroic black tusk retaliation and caused us to fail, actually fuming
this was legit my first time doing a retaliation ever.
You can vote players out btw
yes but you cant retroactively add players
How hard is it for players not to be childish in CD? lmao
removing the player does nothing when the problem is someone being afk
Vote out afk player - problem gone
how does kicking an afk gun fix the problem of being down a gun...
either way you are still down a gun my good sir
There is no problem
so much workkk tho
right so im blocking this clown
I don't see your "issue" here
