I like the eb
It looks like a HK416
It definitely looks good
Currently trying to do a strikers build with it
ooo nice nice
Anybody have the bloody houndsman or houndsman bounty they are willing to share? Would really appreciate it
Ty
i just got on divison 2 and now i dont know what to do
Please read the description.
me?
No
oh ok my bad
Does anyone know if, after unlocking the Investor Mask, you can get it again through targeted loot?
You can't, until the next season when it's added to the general loot pool
ty
can anybody help me to get the Quickstep pistol? dont play for a long time and missed the Event 🙁
there should be a pc lfg, you should ask there
ah sorry see it
all good, sorry if i came off as rude
its rare
useful for PVP and can only usually get in DZ
clan vendors cheats sometimes and has on it's store
so if you want to farm proficiency it's hard to get
100% haz protection used to be a thing in pvp
already isn't?
not sure, havent done DZ in a while
If i want help getting quickstep on pc wich chanel should i write in ?
I think people are using the Hollow Man mask for Escalation for the Health Damage
ive got that one
system corruption is only DZ as well right?
i want regen build for pvp
Thank you
is regen hazpro headshot possibile to pull off?
i had a very silly thought.
Hunters retaliation, with hunters as every single enemies, with doggo and mini tanks
Phew, wonder how many players I hosted today. Must be hundreds of them.
you hosting the houndsman bounty?
For everyone, yes.
doin lords work, good lad
Sorry, already turned off my PC.
I hate the rng of this game
where does quickstep drops from again? i got mine but i forgot where i got em from
houndsman
From the mini warhounds. Which is part of Houndsman bounty.
ahhhh, thanksies
not from the actual dude?
Pretty sure he can drop it as well.
The drop rate for Quickstep pistol is pretty high, you can get it in a single run.
anyone know why i have more cluster mines with Core Strength vs Hard Wired
Now this will be a rant and sorry about it but I have to say it, after farming 12 strongholds, 20 retaliation incidents and 8-9 missions for memento using the priority objectives. I did not get memento. I got the blueprint for it
same skill mods and all, Core Strength has 15 cluster mines while Hard Wired i have 10
Why the hell are you even farming in different places?
Might want to ask that question in #td2-build-advice
Priority objectives. I aimed just for exotic caches
Oh right, tough luck buddy.
i know regen is bighorn dont know about hazpro
I feel you.
I may be wrong as I just came back but maybe its related to the core exercise talent. Just a thought tho
i would like to ask kindly for devs to extend the double expertise, please please with a big cherry on top.
Could be worse at least now I can stop aimlessly farming priority objectives and just farm the materials needed for memento
if you got the blueprint, then you pretty much only have to farm the mats
retaliations made pretty much all exotics free of hassle
That I agree it became much easier than year 5-6 when I played back then when I lost the ps disc I had 1 or 2 exotics now im at 30
How can I check which blueprint I already owned?
seconded, got my eagle bearer from the retal bp drop
crafting table, go to it and check exotic tab. not reconfig, the exotic, exotic. the diamond thingy
Looks like I just need to find the list of which faction drops which blueprint.
Single complaint i have would be that i got mosquito 6 times from the caches
crafting table
sent you the link of the BP drop list.
crafting table at whitehouse
Oh and I wanna ask if someone can tell me what is useful from the stuff I got ill just rattle them all
wait, i just realized i didnt get my eagle bearer blueprint from the retailiation.. where did i get it then.
i legit have no idea
crafting is retal only, recal is from inaya
Are the agent garzia pieces still bugged?
Mantis. Sacrum imperium. Doctor home. Coyote mask. Btsu datagloves. Rugged gauntlets. Nimble hostler. Pakhan. Pestilence. ST Elmo engine. Busy little bee. Mosquito. Harrier pride.
Can't purcharse a single piece and i have like 2400 textiles
Yeah was there ever a reason why the regulus wasnt in the BP drop pool this season with BTSU 9 or BT retals?
aah i see, so i did get it from retal
Happens
any people that still have the houndsman bounty? i didnt play when this was going on and would love to get my hands on a quickstep pistol.
Ask around in #lfg-pc youll have a better chance there
cheers m8, ill try from what i see this event happend a while back but worth a try 😄
They run it quite often tbh
i got 2x true sons but man im sleepy
i see what you did there 😛
is the scout mission bugged? i have cleared hyena bounties and control points but its still not showing any progress i tried to abandon retaliation and redo everything but its still not progressing
Stupid question maybe, but what would be the benefit for me to to Battle of Brooklyn? Is there something I unlock by doing it besides the extra zones?
Catharsis exotic mask from Army Terminal mission. Small chance to drop btw.
Err... Somehow I forgot Retaliation exist.
well if you want more power, brooklyn isnt for that
Hmm I wouldn't use it anyway as I am running a build using Overdogs. But thanks. 🙂
Btw why is Printer Filament the best material to donate for expertise?
Bcz you can get so much of it really easily
best cost benefit
How do you farm Printer Filament?
Break down mods.
so TL, or buy and decon mods from a vendor.
(turn auto-decon for skill mods on, and buy one of those until you're broke)
Just check every now and then when you are doing it, to make sure you don't overcap.
Hello
Thats my secret cap, Im always broke.
Should I use my SHD point to get printer filament?
That what I do
Got around 140 points right now.
How many you got for each point?
It's cheaper to spend the shd points on cash and buy mods to deconstruct
Well every time when I gain a lvl I use that shd point for printer flamement or other materials
So get cash then buy mods to deconstruct?
It’s not anymore
They're more or less the same
Is it not?
You get just a couple more that way and costs you the time to buy and crush
Hmmm, have to update my mental list of useful info
Maybe thats the prefered way if theres a double material gain event.
auto-decon skill mods and you don't waste time breaking them down.
Sure. The math is there. It’s literally just a couple more in comparison
Not like before where 100% it was worth
So in general is it okay if I use my SHD point to get Printer Filament to donate for expertise?
It is da wey
Btw what the max lvl on shd
Ive went from exp 3 to 24 (prob 25-26 by the end of the event)
I hate my life.
There is no max level, but you stop gaining stat benefits at 1000, and any benefit at all outside of Scavenging Points at 2000.
Theres no cap. I've seen people with 100K+
Ok
Wow a lot of lvl
Any benefit at all outside scavenging point at 2000?
Is countdown the best way to grind for salvos ?
Dam I’m 2 countdowns in not had one yet
any benefit at all outside of Scavenging Points at 2000.
and 1-2k is only an incredibly minor health boost, the kind that you would lose if you jumped off a moderately high ledge.
Oh thought you're not getting anymore point after level 2000.
trying to imagine a mission with a speedrun pathing where being able to tank 1m more of fall damage is a time gain
Technically slightly more health can be useful, if you cut a rope on a rappel-down, and there's enemies too close.
you cannot die from fall damage so it's not like it matters much
I once died at the base of a rope-down from a teammate that lured an Outcast Rusher over.
I didn't even leave, I was impressed.
Servers down?
F
i wish we had more outcast rushers in the pact
Logged in fine, must not be across the board.
NA USEAST down
Mannnn, finally got matchmaking for Anderson countdown misson and ts happened.
Europe Middle East and Africa
There is no way that all that is a single server.
For middle east and africa we usually get lumped into europe
But who knows 😂
damnit i just got a perfect rolled strikers piece😔 its gone now
question: i have a daily where i need to do 3 Outcast activities. but i did 2 control points and resource convoy. but it wont count for some reason. anyone know why>?
make sure no retaliation is active
ohh
Look for another. Should take an hour tops.
Trust.
i have been grinding for the last 2 hours i still need a mask and kneepads the kneepads dropped and now theyre gone
that 💀🟡 dude making a 2 hour vid for a build help
What build was it
core strength or whatever
Oh
The yellow guy?
yeah
Favourite lurker emote
😭
I have question when I hit expertise 30 can I upgrade my build to prototype gear
u should be able to i think
If you have ze core
K
Prototype core
I’m only expertise 4 sadly lol
me @ 5
The game is trolling me, prototyped and see weapon damage at 22.5, relogged and its back to 15 smh
sue
Me @ 30, this was not worth it
(It absolutely was)
😭
Me who grinded 3 > 24 for this whole event.
It destroyed my sanity and was 100% worth it.
how did you do that?
Grinding lol
Joining in on houndsman bounties and got most of the named items done, and then running CD/retals constantly
Can you farm biohazardous canisters just from retaliation?
The actual material? No, but you can grind the stuff used to make em from the retaliations (iirc)
I see thanks ill have to look into it to get memento
My last 48 hour grind was hell (returnee from year 5 here)
Yeah I stopped playing I think after the faye lau manhunt, and I js came back 😭
My case its a little funnier. I lost the ps disc and I just found it in an old backpack of mine
Honestly I got bored of all my games, and remembered this existed
As for what I did In the last 48-72 hours. Did the story. Floor 50 in summit for core strength equipment and i ran 12 strongholds, 20 retaliation, 9 missions plus the activities trying to farm exotic caches from priority objectives
I came back and started grinding BP's from retals, esp the raid ones since those are only staying in the drop pool for this season
Hello new here just want to ask how to fast level SHD?
Thats fair, I am playing endfield and limbus company now which keep me busy but when ive seen this the nostalgia hit to close to home and I really liked this game even if im getting screwed rn by it
Conflict (not recommended since ur new), classified assignments, grinding retals, etc.
im losing it
im just on my phone and i see reddit post #1285749 of escalation prototype drop rate is bs
take a look and see they calculate how many drops they should have gotten given the percentage rate they ran at
get a glance of the top comment and i read the words "Law of Large Numbers" and instantly am hit with the akira leave me alone clip because im currently in a software engineering course for probability and i learned that exact law two weeks ago
Thanks.
Me getting screwed by ps cant play online so I have to run everything solo which is why im looking into a build for that. And most builds recommend thinkerer or memento so time to work
RIPP
imma pretend I know what u just said
Yep, I have a decent core strength already but that memento is screwing me over. I just found i got the blueprint finally so now I have to get biohazardous materials and something else I think
probably exotic components
if you play mostly alone memento is going to be like god coming down from the skies to personally hand you an exotic
its worth the effort
Yeah memento is great for solo play
Thought so. With core strength that buffs cores as well it makes a great combo. Im looking into trying heartbreaker(?) As well as my two main weapons i use 99% of the time are lmg pestilence and AR st engine
Thinkerer was another recommendation but from what I understood it can be dropped from a specific mission only and only on high difficulty which I cant do
Tinkerer is in the retal BP loot pool
Look at dms azero
I see, I should look how retaliation is ran solo then
Honestly a HB build with memento isnt bad
Thought so after talking here some time ago as I was running a skill build and from what I was told skills can and will be hijacked by hunters so its better to just go with a weapon build
The exotic that ruined exotics
(I use it all the time)
same with overdogs man 😭
Is there a way to improve the level of an exotic? Got a lvl 31 Merciless, and I'm really liking it, but I'm at 34 now. I wanna use it to help get me through WONY, but I worry it'll be useless by the time I get to 40.
I think anyone who runs solo has to use it if you wanna do anything harder than heroic
Go to inaya and purchase reconfigure blueprint then reconfigure at crafting bench
core strength is a very plug n play gear set, but lots of things end up being better than it if you want to really elevate your builds n stuff.
pestilence's dot scales on weapon damage, which core strength does give, but not nearly as much as other builds. concentrated company iirc was the largest bonus for that but that set is way more geared towards group play and longer missions/activities, and the other option is normal brand sets that are a little harder to grind out.
st elmos engine is ofc a powerhouse in any build, but the more damage you can put on it the better because while its base stats are great, it has no perk to boost its own damage so you gotta do that via other perks and armor. my most success on a solo build with very high survivability/room for error was a techtank build, which uses a specific amount of cores (2 red/3 blue/memento) to reach tier 5 on the crusader shield, then technician specialization for 1 more skill tier to bump that up to tier 6. easiest set to plug into this would be strikers cuz its just a free raw damage amp, but heartbreakers can work too but it trades a fair amount of damage for bonus armor (that you dont need a lot of the time cuz you have both a tough shield and tons of bonus armor per memento pickup).
It will be useless as lv 40 rifles go to 100-150k damage sometime
Thank you a lot. I probably knew this ages ago. Came back to play Hardcore, and it's like all knowledge of the game has left me. 😆
an example of why i recommend techtank over core strength is cuz when i tested it out, strikers techtank was dealing just over double the damage at the cost of a tiny amount of armor that was extremely negligable
difference of like 100-200k per shot vs 250-450k per shot
That is a massive difference in damage
Why is sokolov 3pc only 8% chc
As i dont have anything built at the moment and everything was just looted randomly i will try the set once I finish memento mats hunting
A while ago they nerfed some brandset values
thats cuz when stacked up, strikers even without the 2 gearset traits is still a 1.65x damage multiplier
then you have equilizer giving you a reliable 24% more damage (which you cant take on core strength cuz the chestpiece is important there)
https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1wZI1ZEwq3qQxGwmdPnVXcGHxf7D2-xOLRm0m7bfDTlE/edit
heres what im talkin about
Ye you need the 75% effect from the chest
I know but it being equal to a ceska 1pc is stupid
Man I love the Equalizer and Salvo combo.
One sec
Is it bad that my tech build is so op that I’m just chillin behind walls letting my turret and drone do the work?
Thats a lot of damage and I think to a level I can run this already but ill have to look into my stash and inventory. Plus the technician one as I don't think I have it and I may have to farm it
Engineer be like*
Till a hunter hits him
I have one mask left in my cough cough collection.
Ah, a hunter seeker huh
Close, the ghost. Can’t seem to one shot him
Hunt the hunter
yeah the main requirements are just the cores, the set, the exotic, and any high rpm AR which you already have elmos for
all of those can be set up pretty easily to get the core of it up and running and then improved over time
Anyone know how to get the ghost mask? He’s the last one I need in the collection
Now what funny is that i have Lexington as well, maxed out at that i have a lot of cores already prepared for the tinkering table so I just need the. The set is very easy to get, the exotic will be obtained this week and I need to look for equalizer which i think I may have burned already
maaan everyone has lexington but me
I got it randomly when it first appeared and I just stashed it cause I was collecting a lot of named weapons at that time
Me being a veteran and owning none of the veteran rewards
Started the game like 2019 Christmas or early 2020
guys why when i press v it marks everything as junk not the one item on pressing on?
dont hold it, just press it once
Imagine playing the first one only too watch it happen March of 2020
I got it I got it finally the tinkerer mask 😷🤯🤯🔥 wohoooooo
Crimson is my favorite. I know what it means in war time social language
i was playing div2 shortly after the time lockdowns started when i got it for 3 bucks 😭
never play much after the campaign after that then just bought it on steam during the last 3 bucks sale again and restarted but still
that was surreal
Wanna hear something worse? First time I started this game 2020 in the pandemic but it didnt really stick till 2024 so I missed most veteran stuff
Single reason I came back was cause I found the disk and the map for the Washington
Yeah this game for me has too frequent content droughts, so I play for a weeks then leave for a few months. Rinse and repeat.
True, there is just so much you can optimize so at some point the game just becomes boring or you hit a burnout. Happened to me in a few games. Even now I know ill play for like 1 month till I can clear all content solo and ill forget about the game for another year or big event
Btw, good Arknights endfield choice. You an OG player as well?
That’s awesome, very good spending patterns
I had OG arknights installed a long time ago but I hardly played it much tbh
Thought I’d compensate and dive into endfield and I love it
I am a 5-6 year consistent player. Started on ntrk banner. Got burnout recently tho
For me its not even that I just cant bring myself to start the game. I play limbus and other games just fine tho. Endfield included
i was there on day 1
Sounds like me with the division lol
I have a friend whos day one as well tho he hit burnout a lot earlier than me. I just really loved the game. I hit burnout cause 99% of the content became "i can finish almost every stage with 2 or 3 units"
The og division or div2?
Both lol
Division 1 is to be expected since it’s not necessarily getting support due to division 2. However, with division 2 I wanna play the game but there I ain’t shit to do so I just ignore it.
The game is good but theres no meaningful content. They tried to make a rouge like with descent but it has no unique effect that makes you come back to it
True
Sometimes its better to take a break from the game, then come back if and when something interests you
Or be like me, lose the disc.
Whats your next aim for endfield? I plan to pull Zhang once rossi banner ends cause she wasn't my style
Had my eye on zhang for a while
I claimed the lvl 100 reward in season pass and yet I can't see the skin for the Agitator?
I really want her lol
A friend whos f2p saved since the game started to get p6 rossi. You the same? And for me i pulled levaiathan and gilberta and my next aim is Zhang and maybe mi fu if I have leftover pulls
I got really lucky pulling laevatain and gilberta in a single 10 pull
Then I got Yvonne really early so I have lots saved up for zhuang
im too much of an oldhead to call the clones by anything except their original names
Dont worry I did the same till I played levaiathan story quest
thats not laevateinn bro thats potential lore woman
My Yvonne pulls went badly, 80 for 2 eyja
She was a mystery in ak, stayed a mystery till we got here and its still a mystery even in the sequel. Some people theories say that the original is still alive
ok so quick lore rundown
laevateinn is her sword, and it contained a feranmut? in it that had the potential (lol) to take her body over
theres a nonzero chance she isnt even a clone
The first part. I think this one is a clone and the sword is the original cause of the fake levaiathan/surtr clone likely being the sword in her story quest, thats why I think the og surtr kicked the bucket and the sword knew that one is not surtr and it tried to help it
Problem is that I love this game despite the fact that I shit on it all the time. I always wanna play this but then I say to myself “what will I do on it?” Then I get disappointed cause there’s nothing.
the sword is what kept surtr alive so if the sword knows laeva isnt surtr that means shes dead dead
Likely, there is also the possibility of originum crystal printing the sword again as well tho as surtr and the sword are considered one existence at the end of the day so its possible they both became data in the sea of knowledge
That would also explain why the sword and the clone are a lot closer as thier data got mixed together
Idk if it's just me but when I get bored I look for a propaganda broadcast and just....listen. they're pretty interesting when it isn't drowned out by gunfire
Also Grant is glazing the sh- out of Joe Ferro and I'm all for it
To be fair some of them are interesting
When I’m looking at armor that I am proficient in and it says no upgrades active, how do I put in an upgrade?
Expertise
Once it's proficient you can go to expertise and upgrade it. Cap is at 30 at which point you can turn it into prototype gear
At the main base right?
Used to yes but now you can open it up through your inventory
Hmmm, I checked and it’s just not there. Sorry.
day 14 and no prototype drops in 25 escalation runs
Go into your inventory then tab the touch pad
how to escalate my prototype drop rates
increase the escalation tier methinks
Become a TD2 content creator and stream daily while glazing the game enough to be a fanboy but while keeping up critic so the playerbase won't call you out on it
never gotten any in 4 or 5
only 2 and 3
✍️
What’s it mean when you check the tinker table and see you are 0/27 but go back to your inventory and see you are proficient when your body armor
Is it a named piece?
Or just a regular brand piece?
Or become a lore guy which will lower your upload ratio to 6 to 4 video's a year
Be nice to NGN.
Where to find cleaners ? I need to do retal
@magic rock They are all over the new York map
I was being nice. I idolize the guy. Same as byf when it came to destiny
Ty
byf mentioned neat
It’s a regular brand piece
That explains the 0/27. You're looking at the wrong thing. Scroll down and you can see all the brand and gear sets. Go to the one that chest piece is from. You'll find it there
As an old destiny nut; I never really clicked with Byf.
Appreciate what they did, but just not my cup of tea.
Yeah the guy is passionate but the flow didn't really spark joy
It was more fun piecing it together from missions and item descriptions, until they removed them all and made lore videos mandatory lmao
Thank you. I’m at the point where I feel like I sold my self to empress and murakami and Hana-u went on vacation then came back and forgot how to do my job. These damn brand deals
I hate Bungie so much it's unreal 😭
Fall from grace
I stopped des2 at the smallening and haven't really been back since, so 
I've heard enough to know that's a smart call.
Yeah I quit at the end of shadowkeep, I refused to pay money to remove 60% of what I paid for
I haven't touched it since right before the star wars themed dlc
Anyone know what level escalation is same difficulty as legendary mission?
I've watched how much of a mess the story has become, cool set piece raids can't save the game from the mess bungo inflicted. The true winnower is Bungie themselves
I'd say about tier 5
Tier 0 Escalation is base Heroic, it gradually increase from there, with Modifiers being the biggest factor overall.
It's best to not think of it as Legendary directly.
But if you do. About tier 5
what will happen if i make a prototype from item that not rolled maxed out?
im playing on ps5 already posted yhere thanks
No worries, just gotta stick to the right place.
Sometimes I wish there was a mission in TD2 where we can blow up a cleaner fuel tanker. Like imagine walking up to a mounted minigun and unloading into a cleaner truck till it blows up. Slowly fuel pours out. Then small fires shoot out of it. Then the fuel on the ground ignites and finally a big burst of fire shooting up out of the truck before it blows in a huge explosion
Hmmmm big boom, boom big
Skipping to brooklyn, doesn't compete warlords expansion?
Yeah but you don't blow up a truck like in napalm production site. Or at the start of warrengate powerstation
I'm being nostalgic ik but I just wish we had those kinda moments in TD2. Nowadays whenever we go up against the cleaners it's just kill em all or destroy this yellow box or that red box in a cleaner base
I think we've blown up more black tusk fuel tanks then cleaner fuel tanks
Nope, as WONY has skills that it awards you by finishing each of the 4 main build-up missions.
Yeah, was wondering why I don't have decoy. Guess I gotta do them
But playing brooklyn before wony would give major spoilers so not really reccomended
div2 has plenty of spectacle, especially in the DLCs.
different ones to div1, but that would be kinda boring.
I’m bored asf, what’s a cool weapon I should get expertise 30 on
Ik Ik. I just wanna blow up a fuel truck
Someone please explain how the fuh paradise lost is 2.5 years old already...
The loop of doing a run for 2 hours just for the whole team to give up at the end wasn't two and a half years ago surely...
finished like 4 gear sets today, barely went from 10 to 11 lol
Is the prototype thing having a requirement of expertise level 30 on ALL relevant items even worth it?
if you like to see your dmg numbers go up sure
did they increased prototype chance drop or something? they're dropping fairlyo ften to me, 2 runs and 4 protos
Lucky
I am only getting Prototype greens, not 1 purple after 2 weeks, doing 100+ tier3 runs
The manhunt are such a mess in term of writting, I understand nothing xD
One day a guy is a naughty boy, in the next mission we are all friend, after that a naughty girl become rogue, kill a friendly doctor, but hey hey, the rogue become friendly so we dont give a sh*i that she just killed a doc in front of us... WHAT DID THE DEV SMOKED !
I think it's clearly not worth it for the moment... the drop rate is ridicul, we are farming like zombie for nothing. They will probably revamp the way the proto are obtain
@neon merlinbasically like brooklyn event happening before nyc
its insane, its a nightmare to understand...
I even asked chatgpt in order to explain me the story through manhunt... it's even better than trying to understand in game x'(
Don't use AI to explain anything, it's always either wrong, almost right but still wrong, or right but in a weird context.
@lunar iris You're looking for #lfg-pc, GL Agent 
cant be worse than in game for real, I think chat did a good job.
Why keener work with us, who are really the Rogue, who is manipulating everyone, the theory around the hunter
theres 2 types of prototype gear?
@violet flume There are not. I think they're looking at the colour-blind settings and assuming it's a different type of gear.
colour-blind prototype is gatorade green.
ahhh k, thats what i was thinking, just wanted to make sure
im ahead of the curve for season levels, i think i can keep grinding proficiency even without the event
It's very clear that you relied on an AI post for an explanation if that's what you took away from the story.
i dont understand the reasoning behind asking chatgpt to explain a game to you, especially when lore content creators are right there
NGN literally made massive videos explaining all the current lore up to what makes sense to post, dude put in a lot of work.
How long was it again. Like 6 hours
5 hours for the one that came out 2 weeks ago, with a ton of lengthy ones before that too.
I started watching the 4 hour one from 2025, guess I can skip ahead in the latest one
Knowing NGN, he probably improved the bits he'd already done for the new one in some way. I'd watch it fresh.
dude is a workaholic.
The guy's accent and cadence isn't one I normally vibe with, but after an hour and a half I got used to it. It feels a bit overdramatic at points, but I guess that's what appeals to the audience so I can't hate on it
Is fast leather belt any good?
That's part of a quest to make the dodge city gunslinger holster, which is itself a niche item
Oh
His accent is specific to his country, it's not being overly put on from his normal talking voice, although a little deeper.
Maybe not what I was thinking it was
Yeah I know, I was trying to be charitable instead of saying "I hate australian and new zealand accents so much ong dawg" lmao
As an Australian myself: okaaaaay.
noo....
fakin VB longneck gif ain't loadin
I will kill the australian question intonation, or as people call it now the high rising terminal
NGN is a new zealander, but for the record: the stereotypical australian accent is basically our equivalent of hillbilly speech.
the raise at the end is normal though.
but all australians still do drink VBs, right?
It's not normal it should be crushed out of of existence, damn convict bread thieves learn to speak 😭
No one here drinks VB lol.
we need to teach aussies that "no" is not spelled naur
we sell it for the tourists.
my worldview has been shattered...
It's like Fosters in the UK, totally fake aussie nonsense
shh, selling fosters to brits is like half our economy
you cant be saying allat without disclosing your own accent
I don't have an accent, when I speak it's what words should sound like when they're pronounced correctly
so you speak the Queen's King's English ?
AKA proper native English
Rather
everyone has an accent.
well I literally don't, but everyone who can speak, has an accent.
(I know, it was a joke)
I think I can guess that you speak Simplified English then
American? God no
oh thats surprising
I'm english, I went to a grammar school, I learned to speak 'properly' and then I tailor it to whoever I'm speaking. I'm not gonna bother using received pronunciation around the average person and sound like a television news caster that's awful to listen to in regular conversation
a mimic creature then?
personally I enjoy hearing the funny Brit accents especially the hyper-proper ones or posh ones
you meet a person IRL and they sound like someone in a Monty Python sketch
There's hundreds, you can walk a mile from one town to another and they have completely different incomprehensible accents and dialects. Especially in the northern parts of the country
then you meet a Scottish person and it gets even worse and more incomprehensible
are you sure you are in the right server?
Bird is right, back to the div2.
or you can have your country speak 4 languages and have about 30 different dialects
(◉_◉)
Sure, it's not like the conversation was derailing Division discussion but you're right
sorry back to topic
so escal is a artifically inflated difficult, because it doesent use legendary as a base
All difficulty is artificial, it's a video game
i'm sure i can break down discussion to just be pressing button and nature of man
but thats boring
but why have ai with stupid behavior do oneshots when they could be john wicks and do oneshots?
i prefer fighting more than just white tusks
does the AI get any smarter with difficulty? I haven't noticed that
Thinking of it in terms of 'artificial' is kinda reductive, but yes the stats do seem extremely inflated rather than adding actual new mechanics
then I guess it must ramp up after Hard because I have not really noticed them any smarter yet
heroic they tend to like wait before shooting, and on legendary they will just blast you down instantly
and they are alot more agressive, compared to heroic
The enemies in Legendary are unique, and that's part of the reason why we can't just have Legendary Difficulty in the open world, for example.
but imagine if we did, like one of those Soulslike vids where every random mob is replaced with the final boss
they should do legendary open world for sure specially now with prototype
I dont think they are smarter i heroic to normal
(e.g that Sekiro vid where every enemy was just Sword Saint Isshin)
It comes down to faction
While certaintraits are universal of all rushers ignoring cover to just come to you
every enemy is a suicide bomb car
Devs have said that outcast and hyenas are aggressive faction and the rest are defensive
every enemy is a outcast suicide bomber that has massive armor and has the bomb car gadget
yes...
or what if you kill a suicide enemy and then they like spawn more suiciders like a hydra
yes a big suicide bomber that spawns several little ones after dying
they should have us working at massive ent
true, I'm also thinking of Hunter Suicide Bombers that cloak and EMP you
Snail Mode but instead of an invulnerable snail that kills you when it touches you it's an extremely slow moving Outcast suicide bomber
ohh and when it touches you, you die instantly
well yes because it blows up
reverse enginnering the game into PacMan essentially
that could be fun tho, like that thing from enter the gungeon
lord of the jammed, yes
I was thinking more the ghost from Spelunky but good enough
offtopic we stretched too far, the mods will stretch us further
anyone wanna help me get the quick step?
#lfg-pc no
lol thanks
it did start off as a division-related chat tho
Not that I expect them to add any gimmick modes, I didn't jive with realism mode much but it seemed reasonably popular amongst a niche crowd?
it seems cool but since I literally picked up the game on that anniversary sale I had no intention of playing it any time soon, since it disables so much stuff and progress lol
What is the chances of getting the Ravenous from the black tusk retaliation? Ive did like 15 and didnt get anything
The BPs i think are 50% on Heroic completion
Coin flip
But you'll need to do loads of them anyway for the diamond transceivers to craft them so you'll get the BPs eventually
and you cant get blueprints dupes so it shouldnt take long
what do yall think is the best 3rd substat for LMGs? I am torn between damage to health or Armor
armour, health, crit dmg or chance for me
chc 1st choice, rof 2nd, dta is situational mostly on pesti but isn't used in other cases
Wait yo what the heck, Tinkerer doesnt work with Proto weapons?? is this intended???
It's a bug AFAIK and has been reported
just had a damn heart attack haha
You can check here if bugs are reported. If so, upvote the existing one and create a new entry if the one you encounter isn't listed
https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/game/the-division/the-division-2/bug-reporter
People need to use this more, it could be really effective.
whats the best 3rd stat for nemsis and mantis?
probably DTTOC like on basically all non LMGs, but i could be wrong
LETS GOOOOOOOO
I just got the overdogs blueprint from retal
TMW you realize at some point you had ninjabike but dismantled it because you knew nothing about the game
Finally finished all 8 journeys!
yo
you clearly knew something because you dumped the noob trap lol
LOL maybe you arent wrong. HOWEVER, I am currently build a ninjabike set cause Im that guy
if i had to choose a main gun for a striker build would i rather use chameleon, backfire, or dark winter
I use both chameleon and dark winter
i use to use chameleon on ps
i switched to pc tho so had to restart 😥
I have like 6 chameleons LMAO. They drop like leaves off trees in fall for me
i switched not too long ago so im having to grind ts again
bro why do eddies taste like ass someone needs to make sum really nice ones
GGs if you ever want someone to grind with lmk. D2 is my second favorite game
whats your favourite?
Might sound cheesy or childish but Sonic Riders
nah nothing wrong with that
I know everything there is to know about that game. From how to get characters to the individual frames for tricks
dayum
Anyone up for proficiency farm event? Please DM me
im not bro sorry
which channel is mainly used as like a chat channel
Td3 in 2027?
no
hopefully
Is cross play a thing yet?
idk
no
I thought it was supposed to be implemented this update
why is ther 15 second slowmode in a dead channel
Because when the servers go down they don't like people spamming
Well, devs said later this year btw
is there a main channel people use for messaging like a general or is this it
what's the channel name?
Not sure mate I just use this server to come in once every 3 weeks to ask when td3 is coming
fair enough then pal
Can Habsburg guard items drop red core attribute? or do they only drop blue core attribute? Cause my luck has been horrible if it can drop red/yellow core.
nah bro they drop green core only
Habsburg is a Armor brand but it can drop with any type of attributes, just less than Red brands
Kk thanks
np 👍
I was excited to play division again cuz my console buddies wanted to try it out
Green core?
im chatting shit
New skill??? /s
I'm a returning player haven't played in years where do I donate things to settlements?
go to projects and select the project to donate to unless you mean rescources at control points
Thanks homie
np dawg
👋
Quickstep help anyone ? I don't have the bounty for it unfortunately.
has anything else been said about when crossplay is coming?
Its coming in february 31st 2027
so close. i'm going to reach my goal of expertise level 15 by the end of this event
if you do the sets armour sets and spam countdown its pretty quick i got from 7-20 in the past few days
I focused on some sets early and then switched to weapon types
I went from 1 to almost 15. I don't think I could have played any more countdown than I did, getting burned out
i feel you i only have weapons and named items left now
Okay, we've just hit a new f *ing low, my character froze and I was softlocked after climbing a wooden structure in front of MLK Memorial and It INSTANTLY made me lose the f **ing Retaliation I was already halfway through. BRAVO Massive.
When I go to dismantle and it says I reached a cap I go to the gear brands and donate some to one that's level 8 or 9
I have a lot of the brands done or close, but not the green sets
By end of day I'll try to spend all or most of my materials
Should i do the battle for brooklyn content or nah
if you want the skills yes
Its content, so i would say so
yo anyone looking for quickstep/named items go look in LFG channel
What skills?
Uhh
Imagine sticky launcher that enhances a small bit of cover or something, but better have a shield as mobile cover than something that just makes you better for being at x position.
bro i get a retal boss of 4 minigunners and 3 drone controllers who are just nonstop sending explosive drones from a minimum of atleast 200 meters away so i couldnt even kill them
I think I've got a bug for one for the outpost projects I need to aid in hostage rescue I have done two so far and made sure they are in the correct area but it's not counting them
@cedar mulch have you got a retaliation for that faction? abandon if you have itsa known bug
guys ive been having a ton of fun with the game recently! i got to make a heartbreaker build and its my favorite so far! im gonna work on an OD build and core strength build pretty soon! wish me luck!
What's retaliation ?
Basically make enemies mad enough by doing a certain factions.... anything really, they'll take control of an area up to three, you re-capture the taken control points while on a timer
Oh no I don't think so I just got to the campus settlement and it's the last project on the board but I've now done four and it's just not counting them
They'll also occasionally send Kill Squads after you during Retaliations, too. Or the Black Tusk will decide to invade with their own fancier Kill Squad
You think I've I reload the game it will sort it out?
The max. hit register distance is 100m tho.
What if you were able to optimize gear mods
What if you just farmed for max mods?
I am but still
No need to optimize mods IMO
Right, totally forgot max mods are known to be a 100% drop rate on even normal enemies. /sarcasm
Just play the game on heroic/legendary and they'll drop over time 🤷♂️
They drop from pretty much anywhere. Any NPC, any chest, any activity
I could use it. I only get firefly skill mods unless it’s like a raid or dz
i think i've seen 1 maxed mod in 570 or so hours of gameplay
granted a lot of times they drop close enough to max it doesn't rlly matter
Well, time to play the game after passing through a viral infection experience and people thinking you will die.
green poison larp
I wonder how strong the Green Poison really is.
I bet it would do just fine in Brazil, it only sucked in The Division because it happened in USA and people don't have healthcare.
free healthcare won't help against a pandemic no one's ready for
Looking for geared or skilled players for endgame activities
tell me why im seeing 100-300 shd players trying to farm escalation 5+ instead of farming levels and proficiency 👁️ 👄 👁️
is prototype upgrade still buggy?
just visual errors, just gotta logout and back in to make sure everythings right
not sure about the full inventory bug though, there was an issue with items disappearing with capped slots
did they mention that they were looking into proto gear optimization?
Sledgehammer debuff only applies to whoever proc it?
well they're new, don't know any better
just go for the shiniest thing/thing youtuber says is the best type of deal
it's a status applied to a target, those usually go for the whole team unless stated otherwise (like strega)
lvl doesnt always equal skill btw, 1500 hours in game and seen really bad high shd level players get owned by low shd lvl players
because prototypes are shiny
nope, Sledge's description wasn't changed after Resolve went live
I had a group of 3 yesterday that were 100 to 200, not even having good rolls on their items (things like half regen prot on striker, not even full stat)... Didn't want to be rude, but they clearly didn't know what they were doing lol especially that escalation sucks for dropping.
I agree on that, but most of the time when you are 100 or less than that, you don't have the stuff / watch / knowledge requires to do endgame content.
I also saw some people like 40k SHD just running and dying so yeah, doesn't mean anything past a certain point.
skill nor knowledge
knowledge is way more important than skill imho
granted theres times i get kicked, im only 1800 shd. but im 30 proficiency, full maxed out proto'd gear with alot of sweaty experience, im just low shd because i never farm xp events
I'm not risking my tokens for those ppl. Lower tiers is fine tho
i say that becuase i have 3 accounts, 2000 plus on xbox, 368 on PC so far at least goal is 375 today for a stopping point wanting to get 25 lvls a day but expertise and i hate countdown at the moment lol and my PS account about 100 at most but that platform is dead to me.
I mean you can have knowledge but the knowledge doesnt matter if your aim/movement sucks
Ima pvp player so
can agree knowledge is someone's most valuable asset in any situation gaming or not.
Yeah I understand that. I mean, there's also low level that are more concerned about knowledge, and higher lvl that doesnt care - and same as you, people who came from another plateform. Knowledge will always be more impactful anyways than having damage and being on ground xD
anyone got a houndsman bounty still 🙂
regrinding with the knowledge i have now is kinda fun tbh because now i know the best ways to go about stuff and not waste time if i dont want to at least
kinda wondering on how the devs will implement prototype upgrade for skill tiers
Is the Burn Out high end assault rifle worth to purchase from the Vendor this week?
How does it works for now ? Does it always upgrade another stat to max - or it's possible that max stat roll on skill tiers and you gain nothing ?
yes and no IMO, its not a dmg talent but fun to have and use.
Probably not taking it with me in endgame content but is it at least like good to use? Looking for a main FAMAS to play with for fun
nothing for skill tiers
2 out of the brands does provide skill tier if you have enough of them
its all how you play nothing in this game is one set way to do something except for maybe strikers at the moment you cant go wrong with it but i came from a time our meta was perfect GC builds and that seperated men from the boys lol
i must be the coughing baby with my core strength and memento build
i mean its still fun to try out new stuff, even tho strikers is meta
still cant figure that set out, seen 6 skill tiers out do 6 red cores with CS lol
i mean some friends and i were doing raid helps one of them ran it in raids so you can if you want to but better choices exist
trading geat set shenanigans for pure stats still feels pretty good to be honest
strapped in armor, 6 skill tier and with 2 red cores for bonus
What is the best talent for MPX?
I'm using Optimist for consistency (and there's no reason to use Killer when I already have the Dark Winter).
can anyone help i’m on pc and my game looks great except for the hive circle and enemy outlines and the glitch effect they look grainy is there a setting i need to change
Anyone know why the modifier optimize /overload takes waaaaay longer to level up compared to the other 2?
id recommend turning off all the post processing stuff like vignette, film grain, you can keep bloom if you want. and turn your AA up all the way if you prefer a sharper look. thats my best answer
ty i’ll try it
Playing legendary with my friend and at the train part there is a bugged enemy underground or something immune to everything. Tried everything, stinger hives, firestarter, just said immune. Naded ourselves to respawn of course it’s from the start. Why do you put a no respawn difficulty when your bugs can block progress is beyond me.
Morning
Got my first piece of proto gear and im only level 21 in proficiency. Lol
I assume its a bug that has me softlock if I have to reset the keener fight? So restart the mission again?
does rise up have strech goal?
Possibly. No way to tell yet
grinded the BP too fast
What’s the fastest way to get to level 100 in BP?
beside buying the rise up bundle for the extra 15% xp boost , I've been doing heroic and legendary missions
That's why I keep all seasonal XP from the seasonal journey and manhunt scouts
Just remembered what mission Army Terminal was, a-wah
i'm not even actively grinding it and i'm already over half way
in 101 hours i've had one max gear mod, and it was a yellow
seems like the rarest drop in the game
13 percent protection from elites is worse and rare to find lol
i want some critical hit chance and damage
i'm going to grind mods in countdown for a bit for the end of the expertise event
and spend the printer filament. hopefully i get some better reds in the process.
Are you playing heroic and legendary?
no, challenging
dont know if i can do heroic, i guess i can try in a mission or something
I just got the coyote mask
15% weapon damage, 5.5% crit chance, 9.2% crit damage
Hello please help me get quickstep 🙃
Question does the rewards from retaliation like diamond tranceivers and automated defense parts vary in difficulty?
Like in normal diff do i get less that heroic retal?
Is there anything I can do to target farm like weapon attachments?
Weapon attachments are gotten through doing control point on challenges or above
Hi how come I can’t expertise my equalizer
Thanks, I am doing this but I am randomly getting any other blueprints but weapon attachments 🙁
It's really rng but at the end of the day you will get all of them
Thanks
What's your expertise level?
4
Then you'll be able to get it to level 4 but not higher
But my equalizer is not there tho
I’ll send screen shot in ask community
Since it's a named item look under chest pieces, not under UA brand
Oh so it not in ua mb then hahaha
Perfect gunslinger should be 10s long and have no cd
Depending on where the NPC is, you can often reset them by running back towards the start of the mission, then return back through the mission (don't fast travel as it will reset the mission entirely for legendary). This can reset the cell allowing completion of the area. It's the same deal when doing bounties, run far enough away to get out of the cell (without going so far as to cancel the bounty) then return, or when a wave of NPCs don't appear when doing open world POIs. The game will either respawn/ move the stuck NPC, or just insta-kill when you return.
Yup my game froze in countdown right after looting the last chest
I let someone else do it, lol. I am probably a bad person for that but, you know, it is what it is.
Can you participate in endgame content if you don’t have WONY? Raids, countdown, summit, etc.
Yes
Based
i wont be looting that chest ever again
Can loot the gear once it's opened by someone else, and the game will be fine. It's just certain chests for the last (third) area (turbine is bad for it for some reason iirc). It's an intermittent bug which is likely why it's hard for the developer to reproduce and fix.
can you not prototype a named weapon?
unequip it
relog, they're not real
False lies to trick the gamer
Question when is the weekly update again?
@lunar hare oh for god sake haha
sheesh its same stats as before...iv basically grinded this out for an aygment lol
is one stat highlighted in purple?
@lunar hare yeh ar damage but its 22.5 and it was 22.5 before im sure
or was it 15 maybe as my othere lex is maxed at 15
ok so yeh i got a 5.5% boost
that's your proto upgrade i.e
do you have to equip it to level up or can havinbbg it as a secondary also level it up?
Anyone had to get a salvo holster with skill damage it seems hard to drop
level what up? it's already fixed unless you reroll
Augments
@lunar hare the augment...it says level progress under it
Yes or use it if it's a weapon
ahhh yeah
@mossy zenith its rng...your prob lokkinmg at getting the other rolls right then rolling skill damage onto it through recalibration
No can do sadly need to put skill tier on it
Do some refractor gear parts not drop with skill core as its core attribute?
yup, some do with Armor
Mask, Body Armor and Holster come with Skill Tier. Rest comes with Armor.
No wonder
It's a similar thing with System Corruption.
Skill effeciency affects everything in the skill right? Damage, Cd, Duration,etc?
Yep! Everything skill related.
In term of overall stats does core strength with max stack memento top against a refractor build with 2 hana U? In your opinion ofc
I love how the navi system in the game costed me a retal run, yeah bro navigate me to OUTSIDE KF THE REGION, makes sense
Lol
Is there any way to get the Lexington?
Mb i thought i was in the build discussion
Not currently no
@hoary glade I'll post my opinions at #td2-build-advice
Do you think towards the end of the season there will be a way?
Yes stretch goals caches will give you a chance to get one
Check in #lfg-pc
gotcha sorry im new
And you didn't notice the big warning and 30s countdown?
Thanks
is there any really active guilds on pc d2
@severe shore See the #td2-clan-recruitment message above yours.
It's called clans and you can look for one in #td2-clan-recruitment
ty
Expertise level 15 reached, my goal for this week.
Now the requirement dropped to 140 for level 16
anybody know how to fix the audio looping bug with the retaliations
It's so weird how I start playing a weapon only to notice some weird stuffs, like mags disappearing.
M16A2 and MPX are like that.
Mfr has the guts to activate directives and then call for backup.
Shoobady do GIF
Invoking my will for the Faye Lau bundle to pop up in the store
WI was curious to see how many prototype items I could collect in a whole day and I played for many hours and took on all the locations in turn. And I managed none of them. Lv 3,4 and 5
Welcome to Escalation!
A shame, because in concept it seems interesting. Rewards wise.....
Yeah
Escalation is being tweaked, and they're potentially adding targeted loot/recal in some form to it.
It's a brand new mode, there's teething issues. But the bones are good.
If it’s the one I got it too me swapping agents and back to my main pve agent
While I'm glad to see it. It does sting a smidge that they didn't add it from the rip, but yeah. Good structure, just needs some TLC
I am going to silently sit in the corner and hope they let us Optimise our Proto stuff, though
I'd burn 5-10 Proto cores to do that in a damn heartbeat
I am once again going to try and will the Faye Lau bundle into the store, please give me your vibes
anyone else having issues completing the sniper week 2 scout mission? i've alr cleared my retaliations (which were affecting projects) but still no progress
i see it pop up on the tracked mission thing but no progress is added
so how does someone farm the max rolled mods?
you pray
sacrifice a hyena, outcast, true son and black tusk, in that order to Manny, Kelso, ISAC and ANNA repspectively
all the while chanting "Extremis Malis Extrema Remedia"
Did the reduced exotic components to take gear to 30 expertise also affect skills?
probably yeah
@eager talon #ask-td2-community message this is the current chart.
Thank you for the link to the chart. It is indeed reduced.
proficiency event ending in 1 hr 😭
About to reach floor 99 in summit what should i expect
finished up hard wired, almost at exp 12
In so many words, don't bring a gadget that shoots, bullets or explosives. Oh, and stick in cover as much as you can while dodging pain
Is it doable solo
Absolutely, just make sure you don't overextend yourself
I'm assuming you're going all the way to the top
Yeah i started at first floor
pick skills that can't be hijacked, good luck.
did the last encounter get nerfed? did it w a friend a few days ago and it felt much easier
last encounter of...
summit
not really
Technically yes, but only if you count like 5+ years ago as "a few days".
😂
i said i did the encounter a few days ago :)
either way, remember struggling with them after they patched the cheese spot
Nothing has changed in Summit for quite a while. The last big change was that you were able to wait in the ante-chamber of the ||Hunter|| area.
i've yet to reach floor 100 i guess i'll have to get to work on that sooner or later
yeah i should probably work on that, AND dark zone
It does scale off difficulty, so it's likely that.
missing out on a really ugly mask (unless it's christmas)
it can't be THAT bad
just did it on heroic as i always do, guess i just got lucky one of them rushed into a stream of bullets
There have been no major changes to summit in some time (outside of targetable loot) so any apparent "nerfing" is more likely being much more familiar with what happens, when, which always makes things seem easier. The first time you stood up was hard, then it got much easier. Standing was not nerfed, just your perception of difficulty.
think of the edgiest mask a 9yo could draw
Are you talking about the Floor 100 Mask? What's wrong with it?
Ojay
Actually that’s a better description of the deceit mask
been curious bout it too
to each their own?
Summit hunter mask looks like a cheap Halloween mask
i think deceit is when you're 14 and discovered the punisher
someone help me get pestilence from dark zone ?
Get it any other way
pesti aint locked to DZ anymore
how now?
You can get blueprints from retaliation
target lmg anywhere/retaliation bp(i think there is one)
ok thanks ill try
pesti seems to be as rare as sand in a desert so i wouldn't bother wasting mats on it
what yall yapping about?
idek anymore
Things and stuff
I don't think it ever was? It's just people make fun of it how commonly it drops there.
Oh I love things and stuff!
Now x3 is gone, do you think its hard to get to 30 Expertise from 24?
It 100% used to be.
a loooooooooong time ago.
When it was removed?
incredibly time consuming, your brain will go numb before you're done
A lot of the Exotics had weirdly specific drop locations back in the day.
expertise more like #boring
i'd wait for another prof event or at least a shd level event so you can get mats quicker
More like poopspertise amirite
i am finished with the event, i went from expertise 1 to 16
@tropic sentinel At least January of 2021.
pesti does still have an increased drop chance in the dz tho
could also run things you're not proficient with whenever you're doing countdown (challenging) for farms
i don't think i'll be going out of my way to raise my expertise until there's another event
i'll just donate my junk as usual
That's the smart call.
Just donate trash and you'll get there.
now i can finally take a break from Countdown
Thanks everyone
hoard trash on mule characters until the next prof event 5 months from now :wesmart:
Wes Mart.
Man
So play for 2 days and stop?
How do you beat the hunters at floor 100
I dumped all my mats into expertise this week. I'm broke
Skillz
i did too, almost all
i also love being in the resource trenches #relatable
big gun
If you are solo use scorpio/elmo/foam for CC and shoot them. In a group you can easily cheese with oxi+spawn trap with foam.
What skills do i use
see if i was just really lucky last time
Finally got memento
Ah, to be young again
I am farming like a madman for 3 days now
Side note, the upcoming damage amp week would be good for legendary farming given bullet sponge enemies are now facing like 30% damage boost or something from players.
And we don't have to get all up in their grill to get it.
Escalation way worse than legendary, use it for that if you’re so inclined 💀
but the rewards are somehow worse
Sure. But it makes legendary summit with eleventy modifiers enabled a bit less stress factory.
idk about that
I did say less, not without. 🙂
Is there supposed to be a maintenance today?
There sure should be
Also the ubisoft connect time limited challenges are adorable; do a thing, get 100 whole credits, my god I shall be sure not to spend it all at once.
I usually wait until I have like 50 so it actually feels like something 😂
They... posted a video on how to change difficulty for Division 2 few days ago in YouTube.
Like, why?
Brilliant
How to Aim and Fire | The Division 2
if there was they would have started like an hour ago
And expertise surge event has ended ladies and gentlemen. I hope you made the most of it.
#server-status will have info if there's a maintenance coming up.
we don't have one each week.
The next one we know about, will be on the 21st of this Month.
Oh ok
xp event has ended, sadge, we have a short wait for overdrive.
able to get expertise 15
what a bummer
we should tho. atleast rn. I'm not one to call out this games issues often but plain and simple. This update, prototype gear, escelations, etc, was not ready and could have used a couple weeks more in the oven
here's the thing, there is no amount of time in the oven that would be sufficient that people did not complain. Folks will complain about quite literally anything. What matters is the developer improving the update and fixing issues; ie what matters more is the response to the feedback, not just never delivering new content for fear people will complain.
Nice thanks for carry
Went from lvl 5 expertise last week to lvl 26 before reset
Just got bullet king. How useful is it?
And I agree. this community loves to complain, which also makes it harder for actual feedback to make it through the crowd.
but escelation isn't harder content in the way it should be. it's just more bullet sponge and more damage taken. the new gear has no real value bc it is useless in the end game. making it a a grind simply to grind and nothing else
yes it's new content by the definition. but it's not well implemented and I think had they taken the time it could have been better
I thought Roosevelt was the invaded stronghold today ggs
if you like the idea of never reloading it can be a good time; pairs well with a couple gear sets I believe.
Ty for all your continued help
black death roll in store
They took an approach, it did not quite work out, the community has a very diverse take on what constitutes 'correct' on everything and the developers for all their experience are not clairvoyant. Hindsight is 20/20 vision, because it's based on knowing an outcome after the decisions are made, not before.
Im running striker rn so this will be very fun
In short, I don't really like the update as it stands, either, however, I am a pragmatist so I am happy to let the developer work on it, knowing that I cannot change the outcome, and getting worked up about it does not do me any good.
anyone figured out already the scout for this week?
i'm fine with bullet sponge but some of the modifiers... a bit unfun
You cant donate brand sets at the tinkering table?
Does picking up the memento trophy count as repair skills?
you can, you sure it's not alr maxxed?
are you asking if skill efficiency affects healing? if so, yes it does
Ah you cant donate maxed equipment. That makes more sense i was trying to raise my expertise level and I didnt know why it didnt let me donate them
Im asking if memento trophies are included in skill effeciency
they hadn't figured out how to do prototype on skill gear and actively encourage players not to prototype it. Not to sound like an A- but that is literally shipping it underbaked, and they were fully aware of it. even if it shipped the way it did now, that still shows a lot
I have yet to see any update for any game not be claimed as underbaked. Because people have expectations that are very dificult to meet, whilst also meeting timeline expectations.
battle for brooklyn launched pretty clean
The developer had a schedule and a timeline and they had to ship the update regardless, so given that is the case, I am less concerned about the update being rough, and more interested in improvements.
ggs i didn't make it to 30 expertise 😭
17 this side but I've been away for a while
anyone figured out the scouts?
I'm also on 17 lol
Was really hoping to reach 20 before the event ended since the requirement drops to 90 proficiency points per level
Man, just bought the $20 one time deal plus the bug mask but didn’t get the mask 
Hi what best Escalation to do right now?
Check your mailbox or something
Did but nothing was there. Gonna restart my game and check it again
T5 I feel has the best loot to time ratio. But YMMV
Tier 5 is the sweet spot
what mission is better and easy to do?
Viewpoint is in the rotation rn, but that last room might be a bit tough to get through due to the emps on higher tiers
if you dont want to deal with matchmaking and incompetent randoms, tier 2-3 is better for solo grinding
Amusement park is easiest, Roosevelt has more enemies and isn't an issue if you learn spawns and best spots to engage.
I think they might be talking about the new missions in the weekly rotation
Ah, just changed?
Viewpoint or Federal bunker are the easiest from the selection
Yea. Liberty island, capitol, federal, viewpoint, and manning
Bunker would be an easy T10.
Yea, bunker seems the easiest
i did viewpoint now federal to check which is the easiest
Only thing viewpoint would be tough to do is the last room on higher tiers. Other than that, it’s a breeze
Viewpoint on default has a more annoying layouts for higher tier. Every room in Bunker you can funnel.
Gotta be extra careful with that one rusher room
Decoy, free ez kills.
Stay far back, decoy, and ez laser
Hi all. Who else wishes to extend the Expertise Buff? I hope the admin hears us
I’ll try both missions out later to see which one is most efficient.
we'll get another expertise or material boost in future.
me too
final boss is probably extremely annoying at higher tiers
Tank + hammer, yea. Decoy is gonna be huge there
i got the eagle bearer last night i got so happy
Huge congrats man 
thank you thank you
Medic stagger while DPS melts him. Wouldn't take as long as you imagine.
yeah but if you slip up its a tanky af juggernaut chasing you with a sledgehammer
most annoying boss ive came across is krempus that mf runs at you and its scary
Medic with scorpio
Your acting like we didn’t bully the man earlier
Best to not spam shots and let the debuffs stagger the boss as long as possible
hahaaha we did he got melted in seconds lmao
heroic krampus is terrifying
we done that
I had more trouble with the random rushers that I wasn’t paying attention to 😭
when i done it the first time it was scary i wanted to alt f4
im not having something run at me that is scary
😂
lol so do some of the NPCs when tagged by a firefly, lolol.
Well well well new comm on manhunt scout definitely confirm my suspicions
ahahhahahahaaah
or more correctly, they have a high pitched scream.
bro im worse bro i have a deep voice and i scream like a girl
@agile gyro i do scream like a girl
doing the Lincoln memorial and the NPCs talk about being locked in, and all I can think is "I am not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with me."
kelsonueinely i think one of my teammates accidentally called the chopper during CD while trying to revive someone lmao
LMAO
cause u cant really see the prompt properly with all the hunter disrupts and everything that is going on
and holding F is both reviving and calling the chopper
dude, I mm for 3 runs and all three went to shit bc no one read chat when I was telling them to fk VIP 😭
I almost had a gasm when I finally found a group with an FI healer and 6 full red DPS players
happened once, to me today, but eh
extraction went clean asf, it lasted 30 seconds with foam CC and tons of amps 
You actually got to the end? My experience lately has been 3 bail at match start. Other 4 + you may or may not attempt it which either leads to 2/3 objectives done or they slowly bail as the run progresses
i get those but its like 40%
I left the first three runs bc they failed on VIP b2b
the Countdown situation has been deteriorating faster and faster everyday
I don't mind the newbies but, for God's sake, read chat when someone is typing 🤦♂️
I had 3 bails in a row after which I just went summit instead.
kinda ironic bailing on a team after complaining other bailed on the team. xD
OHHHH I've seen that so often lately
Anyone done 2nd manhunt today?
That it has. Unfortunately though, I had someone from my sub team one split off from us halfway through protecting the vip, went to go do another objective and we didn't get the main objective chest in countdown then 3 of them left on extract almost immediately.
but countdown is still good today, some bad ones but eh, loot is even worst tho
Gah, one day a Prototype will drop for me. NOT TODAY, THOUGH
they will buff the droprate, i will hold off on grinding cores till then
I've started to notice that. Been getting worse items by the run to be honest. I usually pull 40-60 items per run but now it's like 20 if I'm lucky and the rolls are horrible
heroic CD?
Yeah
I will torment myself and blame the Devs for I am a smoothbrain (I jest)
I just like how the Prototype rarity looks and desire more of it
yeah same here, farming skill mods (for printer filaments) and max smart cover mods, still no good drops
caveman mentality, ooh shiny must have (me too)
best escalation to run this week?
Would you say that running countdown for filament gives you a decent return for them
somewhat, i went from 0 to 5000+ in a couple of days
retal is also good as well
Alright, later I will try and fill out the remaining 3 armour pieces. Then, uhhh. Cry in a corner or something
always look forward to cosmetic reset night
some of you guys need to let me know what fortnite yall be playin with how anything n everything seems to be fortnite
Drip got a sec. Scam message in #divashion . Someone got hacked
BRUH
as I was gonna say big fan of this new outfit I think it fits a lot more than death roll
How so?
death roll is just too flatly white
that amount of white works on the black tusk security outfit because it's more broken up by grays & has some texture
hunters are typically in black gear already so adding some texture to it is just a nice little bonus ontop of black being less harsh when on something as flat as this outfit
Anyone know how to get outcast hostage rescue activities?
hey, for the priority target, someone knows how to do the second objective ?
