Truthfully 3 players is more than enough to do a retal... assuming you guys are trying to do content you physically can't do by brute forcing it with people. (Not tryna be rude about it just saying.)

NPC scaling also goes down

so it was me and one other person doing it by ourselves when the other went afk

#

Oof. This is why you dont matchmake retals lol, never ends well

gloomy rain
#

yeah ive thuroughly learned my lesson

#

i just didnt want to deal with adding ppl on here though ubisoft connect

agile gyro
#

Most matchmaking is either you getting low lvl people, people who dont help, or just people who confuse you

#

Better to use the #lfg-pc system since most people there are doing their own retals

#

Don't wanna mess up their own retals 💀

gloomy rain

#

Yeah I dont like using the ingame matchmaking system unless I have to (CD)

and even then games like my last game make me wonder what the hell is wrong with ppl lol

Last CD match I had a guy asked to farm the last obj because we had 8 mins left still, other guy didnt listen and blitzed through it which idrc abt, then they started bickering in the chat about it and the guy that blitzed through it sent the flare a minute and a half early because he was butthurt or smth that the guy kept saying crap to him lol.

As I said, childish. Both sides lol

ruby canopy
#

@odd briar pretty sure...but not certain its in the general loot pool now so target loot to lmgs and do countdown or retali

hybrid ore
#

Just an FYI, the targeted loot pool is the same as the general loot pool, it's just an additional drop on top of what an enemy would give.

how to recreate jupiters outfit 🤔

@feral knoll i found the last 2 levels a drag....mostly cause the 1 set of meterials i had a ton of was the branded gear but id literally proficented everything possible from by that point so it was stick exotic/named/skills i nver use and try play countdown without looking like a terrible player haha

@feral knoll yup hahaha..i found that if you have 4 pieces on getting proficent at same time and target loot to gear system mds by the time you reach about 8 proficency you have the materials to finish them off to 10 at the tinker station

Is there a spreadsheet or something similar that has the breakdown of enemy stats are? (Total armor/health) I’m curious because I gotta be hitting theses elites with easily 50 million plus damage before they finally die.

kind veldt
#

i rmeember seeing that long ago

#

it had difficulty and scalling with player group

fallow idol
#

And yet if I get shot more than 5 times I’m dead lol

kind veldt
#

their damage also gets scalled i think

#

but yeah 4 man groups has more than double health and something like 4x armor

umbral dock

I'm the only one who thinks that there should be more exotic pistols in the game?
Besides Regulus and Liberty, every other exotic is so lame and there are only 3.

#

Tempest is okay-ish with a Bulwark shield, but the other 2 are niche at best.

frigid obsidian

Can regular guns be better or useful than exotics?

Tempest and BLB are really good too

In fact liberty isn't very good

Any pistol with Finisher will do a better job.

The fact that Quickstep's talent is "sports mode", is honestly one of the best jokes in div2.

Agitator isn't crap though? It's very good

And yes, I know that this build might be strong with Centurion's Scabbard and shit, but damn, what a boring playstyle.

honestly i switch guns alot, especially sniper shotgun and pistol loadout

small plume

I don't.

undone timber
#

Never mind man

mighty girder
#

simply a difference in playstyle

obsidian atlas
#

i always wondered how talents on guns work?

umbral dock

what about them

obsidian atlas
#

does guns just have this aura that tells you what to do?

#

Deep down we all want a women as loyal as a seeker mine

small plume
#

Regulus and Liberty are so straight to the point in their use.
Tempest is weird, but being an automatic pistol is a big of a deal.
BLB and Mosquito are... ugh (especially Mosquito).

obsidian atlas
#

not very loyal then, the cluster one

small plume
#

And now this one Agitator 2 pistol edition.

undone timber
small plume
#

I'm not saying it is, but can't be used as a main weapon.

hybrid ore
#

Did one Retal today, got the Sheriff and Vindicator in a single run.
Keep up the farm Agents, it's all just RNG.

obsidian atlas
#

goood for you, happy for you, nice

hybrid ore
#

Conversely, I've also done about 12 in a row without a single team-9 spawn. so swings and roundabouts.

small plume
#

Vindicator seems weird, and wasn't the Sheriff bugged, or they fixed?

undone timber
#

Basically all of them are just swap, do thing, swap back

small plume
undone timber

Never mind 😭

#

Exotics in div2 are not always better than other guns of their type, it's all build-specific.

small plume
obsidian atlas
#

shroud's been a good edge lord to me

#

maybe i should wear the gloves too

small plume
#

There are 6 exotics now, 2 or 3 can be fit as the main weapon, 1 is useless, 1 is usable to buff other guns and another one is Agitator 2.

#

Which seems strong, but again, not main weapon.

#

I think I'll just boot my Harvest with Optimist...

hybrid ore
#

Without tagging me, which pistol is which IYO?

obsidian atlas
#

IYO? oh

gilded hound
#

do black tusk only drop diamond receivers?

small plume
#

Regulus, Liberty and Tempest main weapon (Liberty and Tempest for a Bulwark Shield build), BLB usable (but weird af), Mosquito useless and Whiplash is Agitator 2.

im thinking about making my 1st proto weapon lexington with streamline....42% damage seems too good to turn down...granted i will be trying to use skills as least as possible...good idea or bad? im trying to avoid the obvious choices like st elmos or big al

gilded hound
#

ugh thats gonna take a while regret my decisions

kind veldt
#

mozambique drill looks good on paper but 9/10 times if you are high difficulty or 4 man scalling it just falls flat

mighty girder
lethal moon
#

Which is the most important thing really.

mighty girder
#

a lot of people see 42% weapon damage and think it's really good, but it appears like near the start of the damage calculation formula so the effect of 42% WD is significantly less pronounced

ruby canopy
#

@mighty girderoh really...is like the fenris 10% weapon damage...but you only get like 2-3% thing? why the game lying to me lol

edgy fable
#

Especially on higher difficulty you will need your skills. Steamline does not fit in there

kind veldt
#

streamline works better on paper for shotguns

edgy fable
#

1886 is fine too if you run a rifle build

ruby canopy
#

ah ok glad i asked ty guys ...>and yeh i got the 1886 build but i run determined on it

kind veldt
#

i'm sure it is, but i just assume people default ignore it in favour of the annoying thing

obsidian atlas
#

airght let's go build horror, i maxed out armor regen and spam it on every single gear possible

mighty girder
#

i would generally just be suspicious of any buff that seems too good to be true, if streamline buffed total weapon damage it would be insane

fickle edge
#

Honestly they should boost everyone's movement speed and remove quickstep

kind veldt
#

it could be interesting if it increased your skills cooldown

#

they should never have created quickstep

it's mentally draining to see the constant spam in wrong channels begging for one

@fading tulip put it this way....its riddled with bugs and dodgy servers and matchmaking and deltas etc etc etc BUT for all the bad the gameplay and story and builds,farming,variety all make it worth it imo

same as Nemesis, etc.

Go retal honestly and get the bp

lunar hare

it comes from black tusk retals, iirc completion reward

Most consistent way to get exotic is probly blueprints if u can get them. + it will get you a ton of "normal" blueprint doing that.

I think it all comes to is if your RNG is great, you can possibly get the bighorn from doing jus 1 retaliation completion and for the summit you can get lucky and get it within 1-3 runs

Retal will become overwhelming if you try to kill all enemies, it'll also slow you down. Focus on kill squads and points; random small groups will give a few seconds a time, but will burn more.

You can go into the individual item in the Expertise menu and donate one-by-one, try that.
or don't, because Exotics should not be donated to Expertise. The components are too useful.

You don't need to be Expertise 30 to get prototype gear to drop, btw.

just if you want to upgrade something you have.

#

Ik that but I wanna upgrade my own gear to it and get to expertise 30 as well

amber kayak
#

-# which is infinitely better to the point of being the only option if you want to get usable proto gear

So I did all gear sets and done with almost half of brand sets with almost the named gear too and done with rifle proficiency apart from 2 named and exotics

Fixes are in progress and planned for the next Title Update on April 21.```

I wouldn't assume that it is going to add recalibration to them then, but maybe drop-rates.

feral knoll
#

There is an update due April 21, what that contains for prototype gear and escalations is unknown.

signal dagger
#

Yeah that's what I thought.

feral knoll
#

I'd think possibly drop rates, and maybe the daily mission gear rotation to match existing missions. That said, could just be fixes and none of the above - so worth remembering.

vital cave
#

Hopefully you could optimize your proto gear if they don’t do recalibration

#

At least one of them recalibrate or optimize

signal dagger
#

To be fair, I don't see the point of optimizing (unless you need to switch a talent sometimes, which I could understand). Gear drop is so rare and so unlikely to have even 2 of 3 attributes - not talking even about talent, and the stats low level provide.

#

Oh wait you talking about pushing stats that weren't maxed to max, not rerolling them right

small plume
#

I think I have underestimated the White Death for long enough.
It's probably the best MMR for a scopeless build and it's only worse than the Model 700 in a Hotshot build.

It's just a shame that there's no benefit on not using mods, because I wanted to literally put no scope in honor to the White Death.

Wear a full stuff of what you need to level (including skills, specialization, all weapons, all armor. Doesn't have to be relevant. Make sure u equip at least one exotic weapon and one exotic armor). Launch countdown (challenge, not heroic). Target loot what you miss, start with green gear set, then brand set, then everything you miss. Donate everything except exo. Deconstruct what you can't donate, and donate those materials to lvl expertise. Rince and repeat. Boring and not fun, I'll admit, but you asked for quickest way.
Also, houndsman bounty can help for named item.

Will a skill build with haste be faster than just casual using? Or is the expertise level gained just by having the skill on?

Yeah I mean retals is nice when you have a set on you. I usually recommend countdown challenge not for looking a specific item, but for trashes, and also for named it can drop + the fact that everyone can wear a trash set. Not sure you wanna do retaliation with a full random set xD

what weapon talent are good when you prototype and escalation? i prototype my lexington with killer.

hybrid ore
#

I left Measured on mine, since Caretaker has Perfect Killer already.

i mean that depends on the weapon and build

Don't use a name, but did some youtuber suggest Striker+Hollowman? You're like the 7th person today to mention that combo.

health damage is completely useless

undone timber
#

Not at all

tender wave
#

Apparently the upper tiers have crazy tanky chungas, so it's for those

doesn't armor plate count as health?

hollowman is good for very high escal

I have prototyped copies of both to swap between for this reason

Lower roll number on foxes, especially after the proto increase

#

im not hotswapping armor in a firefight

#

but tbf im not using anything other than equalizer overdogs on striker in the first place

hybrid ore
#

Just make the meta setup to start with and tweak from there.

prototyping the entire tipping scales build bc my big al deserves the world

agile night
#

i seen a lot of people running lmg with striker/tipping + hollow

fast bough
#

Isn't overdog very situational, let's say someone puts a health pack in back of the room and now you have to take that out first instead of everything in front of you

I don't recall doing so

Okay looking back it was about dth and sledge, for some reason.

i can safely say it's not groundhog day because i have to go buy groceries

#

Sledge affects plating and white bar armour, health affects plating but not white bar armour

hybrid ore
#

it seems that dth does help with plating, but isn't worth it unless you're making a super specific build and probably doesn't have a lot of use for someone who is still learning the basics....

#

does dta affect plates then? do they double dip?

crimson prism
#

is it possible too still get the lexington?

Is the servers down? Can't log on

pallid cypress
#

just bc you're using the overdogs doesn't mean you need to shoot the lowest tier enemy at all times

kind veldt

and it always work against the last enemy standing if they are a big boss or something

Chungas get SUPER tanky

my lexington rolled with double damage augment

Lucky

I would be happy that I got dth as the maxed roll on my Lexington, but for the fact I'm not that bothered about trying the hardest tiers, I'm quite happy just comfortably farming tier 3 for now

Lexington + Killer + Double Damage.

Meanwhile my Equa chest rolling with echo and chc pre-maxed out.

agile night
#

i would like to see augment damage number to see when it proc

#

i cant even tell when it procs

sullen viper
#

would a blind fire build make sense for higher tiers of escal with maybe the rugged gauntlets?

undone timber
#

You'll see an extra damage number but obviously most of the time it's very hard to notice

During the livestream they mentioned another use for the Escalation Tokens beyond just ranking up the mode, I'm guessing that's still on the table. #td2-general-chat message

/contractors and other high end gloves

#

the sandbox is so boring

#

needs a rework asap...all the same stuff

hybrid ore
#

The map of DC that's modelled after the real DC needs a rework?
People who live there might be unhappy if they have to change their whole city for a video game.

undone timber
#

Ignoring escalation the meta is in a pretty decent shape

#

You can run a lottt of different setups for general content or even more difficult stuff and do pretty well

sullen viper

#

There will always be something that's a meta, even if only slightly, and people will always gravitate towards the strongest possible option on average

sullen viper

#

overlord will be meta mid 2026 trust

#

I'm back fellas.

sullen viper
#

but maybe after 7 years or 8 it would be cool if there was something else that would get a buff and somethings that gets nerfs so everyone isnt running the same thing 24/7

this is called having a intressting sandbox
