[quartz lion]

Ik the quickstep is basically just to run with it out, what would u want as the attribute?

[fallen jacinth]

They're a green activity, so requires allied control points in the area

[wispy pewter]

Is there a patch or maintenance today ?

[elfin hazel]

no

[storm yoke]

Gotcha thanks

[hoary glade]

God i love core strength

[woeful hill]

Any clans or whatever out there that wanna take a new player? Recently got to level 40 so still new

[mighty girder]

#td2-clan-recruitment

[gritty mango]

Is anyone able to help me get a tinkerer mask . I can do the mission on challenging but not on master solo

[south topaz]

play retal with matchmake u'll get tinkerer blueprint eventually

[gritty mango]

What's retal

[zenith urchin]

yellow core cs with capacitor goes insane

[south topaz]

Retaliation, map>matchmake >retaliation

[cold narwhal]

Whoa BT control points in invaded areas. Neat

[gritty mango]

Sorry I haven't played in a while .

Currently it's saying true sons for 1 hour do I have to wait for the rotation it looks like black tusk is up next

[thick yarrow]

and i have one of the most unusual bugs that have happened to me and its related to retaliations

[silent nymph]

so the first scout mission is basically just do a control point?

[merry egret]

Is that new?

[prisma notch]

How long is division 2 down for anyone know? Can’t log in

[fervent cipher]

Its not down, could be a server issue for ya

[celest sluice]

Until they release the division 3

[feral knoll]

since season 8 (current season).

[thick yarrow]

does anyone else's agitation meter not go past 99% when a retaliation is active?

specificially black tusk

[fallen jacinth]

If you have another retal active then they can't go over 99%

[thick yarrow]

its just black tusk

i only have a black tusk retal active

[civic ridge]

🥇 or 💀 🟨 made a vid regarding the 99% retaliation thing but I only saw it in passing.

[thick yarrow]

i sent a bug report about it to ubisoft

[zenith urchin]

y8s1* i think its like season 22 or something

[feral knoll]

yeah, that'd be it.

[lucid tundra]

Thank you. I googled it before bed and found out two more things. One was blaming pestilence and status effects (my friend was coincidentally using it with ongoing directive).

A reddit post showed a video of the same thing happening to them on capitol stronghold and one of them leaving fixed the “desync”.

Will definitely try running back if this happens again and having my friend leave if playing coop.

It sucked so much since that would have been our second legendary mission done duo as new players without optimized stuff. We would have rather being killed than that. We had to play fights super well to get past each one. Even thought of dropping the game cause of the bug being around.

Thanks again for the reply, was hoping someone had a fix in mind

[lucid tundra]

Only happens if you cancel/lose retaliations against them. They don’t normally go for them like other factions. It is new yeah

[thick yarrow]

also i think when getting a factions agitation meter up to 300% you can't check the retal menu at all

[hoary glade]

Dare i say the best hybrid build rn

[torn wagon]

anyone figured out the second step of the scout this week? The hostage rescue?

[hoary glade]

Question about the scout what will you get at the end

[torn wagon]

you are supposed to progress it like a story and then end it with climax mission with some rewards and maybe exotic

[hoary glade]

Ahhh

[thick yarrow]

also this season is shorter than the previous ones

not counting the anni season

[stable grotto]

How do I get stronger (besides sdu grinding I’m only like level 20). Got a full striker with around 1 million armor, st Elmo’s and p90 max proficiency with some attribute upgrades to them. I have agitator as well. I seem to do okay but not great damage but also still seem to die super fast

[hoary glade]

Personally as someone who spent a month getting to shd 500, i focused on getting the stats from SHD and explored builds recommended by people here.

[thick yarrow]

try using core strength

[bleak blade]

Servers are down?

[hoary glade]

Core strength with memento makes the ultimate tank build 1.9 mil armor is crazy work

[thick yarrow]

2.5mil if you have full blue

[stable grotto]

I have a core strength set I’ll be honest I didn’t quite understand it being brand new that was the first set I got from caches. When using core strength is there a certain cores or attributes you want?

[hoary glade]

Check #td2-build-advice

[stable grotto]

So I’m basically going do that rn I’m focusing on just raising my shd by playing and donating my random junk to the proficiency bench. So just keep playing and look up builds more or less. Also get stronger the higher shd you are so

[thick yarrow]

im currently using core strength blue core, memento with salvo (trying to get a blue core one with crit chance)

[civic ridge]

I swapped my Headhunter Skill Hybrid set from Hotshot to Core Strength and more than doubled my armour while increasing my weapon damage and possibly skill damage too.

[stable grotto]

Man I appreciate the advice but I still get confused on what some of this means lol

[hoary glade]

With the new directives i need to do 4 pc hotshot

I dont like running out of ammo

[lucid tundra]

Hunter’s fury with memento is also fun solo/duo

[hoary glade]

An m700 dropped with maxed out headshot and damage with DTA and determined, is this what they call god roll?

[brazen elm]

if it was dtooc it'd be a god roll

[hoary glade]

Damn

[stable grotto]

I’ll look into that. At least since I’m new I still need to farm all this stuff anyway gives me something to do

[lucid tundra]

I’m also new and tried a lot of builds last week due to the triple proficiency event.

You can target loot at retaliations, summit or countdown to make grinding easier.

[torn adder]

Yo just tried arron keener mission thing and I died I respawned and now he won’t leave his building this is the 2nd time it’s happened what should I do ?

[stable grotto]

Yeah I do know about targeted loot. Ran some retaliations on normal to farm some stuff

[hoary glade]

Restart

[torn adder]

Thanks man really appreciate that 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[hoary glade]

Sorry that's the only way to fix it for me ToT

[torn adder]

So it’s a common bug ?

[hoary glade]

I experienced it a month ago yeah, he cant get out of the building or rather the explosion didnt happen yes?

[merry egret]

Reset is soon right?

[torn adder]

Indeed

[merry egret]

Wait don’t answer that silly question lol

[torn adder]

I restarted and then it happened again so I cannot be asked to do this mission again iwl

[vivid swift]

is there prox chat in dz i swear there is

[hoary glade]

There is

[feral knoll]

Just did the new classified assignment, pretty cool.

[thick yarrow]

most annoying thing decided to happen, a delta during a legendary run

[cold narwhal]

Yes. Only other time they held control points was back when they still had world tiers for the original invasion map. Or in the new BT retaliations

[dreamy plaza]

Does upgrading a striker backback w/ blue core & CHC to proto change those values?

[civic ridge]

I was surprised to see a new assignment. Also disappointed it wasn't retroactively included with the original 8. Will wait till 2nd one comes out to see if there's a bundle

[thick yarrow]

are clans down? i can't search for a clan since it keeps saying name search failed

[wheat pulsar]

It will change one of them. Could be the Armor that bumps.

Or if your lucky both

[dreamy crescent]

when you proto an item, get all maxed attributes. then relog and only 1 is maxed out now. it just hits different ya know

[mental stump]

Guys anyone else getting Mike-01?

[ancient phoenix]

is manhunt week 3 out yet which is the HVT1? Ive completed Scout 1 and 2, and the HVT isnt open for me :/

[hollow star]

Where's newbie chat?

Is there a chat for helping new people to the game?

[dreamy crescent]

that would probably be build advice if anything, most people with any questions about division go there

[next sun]

i want to farm the blueprints for crafting matts and it says control points, doees retaliation work for this or no?

[hollow star]

Trying to find someone to show me the ropes of the game and show me what I should farm

[halcyon ermine]

Hey I’m sure you guys get this bs question a lot but cross play when?

[loud ether]

Don’t know

[edgy fable]

#lfg-pc

[undone timber]

It's very much geared towards veterans

[slim cave]

I've been playing here for 11 years. And why should we discriminate against anyone?

[undone timber]

Nobody mentioned anything about discriminating😭

[cinder nacelle]

Prototype gear and escalations were explicitly added as an end game activity.

[undone timber]

It's the fact of the matter that the season was tailor made for people who wanted something more

And already had grinded everything there was to grind

[slim cave]

To clearly specify the algorithm is 1 to 3 days

[cinder nacelle]

Do you mean escalation level 6? You must have bad luck because they have been dropping fairly regularly for me at around level 5. Also you can do the incursion for 2 cores a weak which is two pieces of gear assuming you can get them to expertise 30.

[fervent cobalt]

It is just pure rng, i do my runs between tier 2 or tier 4. There has been gaps of nothing and times where i get 2 or even 3 in a run.

[slim cave]

And if it is final, nothing should fall. The object of work disappears.

Yes to level 6 Escalade

I played more 4 5 and 6 because at 7 I don't have the equipment to hold me back

[zenith urchin]

wait pay money for someone to play a game with you???

[slim cave]

Never once did it drop more than 1

[misty path]

Do you get a watch at level 40 if you don’t have WONY

[fervent cobalt]

I do wonder if the drop rates are higher in coop since solo i would get 0-1 if lucky but in coop with a duo i have had multiple 1-2 runs and a single 3.

[noble pulsar]

I would also like to know what the chance is to get a prototype item at lv 6
0.6% chance per kill

[fervent cobalt]

I haven't farmed escal like crazy either.

[undone timber]

If it's stressing you out, I would take a break from it, or stop playing it altogether

The builds we had before prototypes were already insanely powerful, and they will continue to be insanely powerful

[hybrid ore]

Just to make this absolutely clear: any discussion on money being exchanged between players for div1/2 on this server will be met with bans for all parties involved. And likely an account ban if it was reported to Ubi directly.
We've had to ban over this before and will again.

[edgy fable]

If you play solo you're not gonna have a good time with drops. Especially if you force yourself

[fervent cobalt]

Playing on a lower tier is fine also. You can go quicker and worry less. Drop rates are bad right now regardless.

[slim cave]

So far I've been playing for fun.

[undone timber]

Also this, go at your own pace

[blissful mountain]

Is there an event on the east mall rn? Cause every single retaliation i had since I started them is there

[slim cave]

I don't play solo and I see that others take something. I have devils on me but nothing falls.

[undone timber]

Afaik retaliation locations are purely rng

[blissful mountain]

Yea but out of close to 20 relations 19 to be there is just f-ed

[hybrid ore]

Although if you're me, it's a healthy combination of 40% West Potomac, 40% East Mall, and the rest are the remaining 20%.

[cinder nacelle]

Yeah I don't think the drop rates improve that much in higher tier. Better to stick to what you can do quickly rather than something that takes ages and is super sweaty.

[blissful mountain]

For me its just east mall so the safe house just screws me over

[slate lion]

Yes you dont need wony for anything end game except more missions, maps to play

[tulip crystal]

when does the weekly reset happen?

[undone timber]

Rip, absolute worst region

[slim cave]

There's no logic to the whole thing because you want to do something but you can't. It makes no sense.

[hybrid ore]

About 6 hours and 20 minutes ago.

[blissful mountain]

So it wasn't just me that thought that

[undone timber]

It's objectively miserable

It's so spaced out it takes forever to navigate there's barely any cover going between CPs etc etc

[hybrid ore]

It's a bad region, but it's decent if you want an extra Kill Squad spawn.

I always get 1 extra for East Mall compared to most areas.

Sink Hole > Metro is the worst for sheer open space, the rest are fine-ish for cover though.

[blissful mountain]

That is true they always spawn more in that place

[green badge]

weapon Augments passive when not active weapon? EG: pistol?

[blissful mountain]

I want to abandon it but I need more chestplates

[hybrid ore]

If you want a bit of secret for East Mall: go right, then go all the way back left.
If a team-9 spawns, they'll be more likely to within the larger area travelling, and there's more cover when you go towards Crash Site.

You can also nade yourself once you've cleared the furthest right one, and then jog back over to Metro. It'sa 2 minute loss, and you'll have plenty of time.

[blissful mountain]

Ah no, I can kill everything relatively easy I dislike how things are spaced out it makes it a lot more annoying to traverse. At the moment my record is like 7 minutes for a full clear

[toxic musk]

Are we talking about how East Mall should be wiped off the map?

[hybrid ore]

Just how the safe house should be further to the right.

[toxic musk]

Replace the whole thing with a fishing shop

[hybrid ore]

Manny is giving a vote for more open space for East Mall.
Okay I don't see much support for that, but let's see what the crowd thinks.

[undone timber]

Nuke it, Rico

[devout river]

1st scout obj is it a mission?

[hybrid ore]

For week 3?

[devout river]

y

[hybrid ore]

Haunted House CP.

[devout river]

ty

[toxic musk]

Haunted House is scary

[devout river]

spoopy scary skeletons

[toxic musk]

Aaaah, I am very scared

What area has the Red Dragon control point, again?

[blissful mountain]

Yep

[hybrid ore]

Red Dragon is in Downtown East.

[toxic musk]

That one is also a slog imo

"Time is of the essence, Agent" - John Manny as he prepares to send us on the longest run ever

[hybrid ore]

Is that Manny Ortega's evil twin?

[toxic musk]

Oddly enough. He's the NICER of the two

[barren parrot]

Priority objective is available

[devout river]

my priority just gave me a chatterbox XD.

whats the obj for 2 and 3 manhunt

[north trench]

hostage rescue and then a bounty

[lean breach]

i remember a few months ago someone I think they was named "Emily" was wanting the kitty back pack in the store well its back If you are seeing this

[high river]

I installed evil division 2 on accident

[turbid yew]

Всем привет!

[peak flame]

hi does anyone here want to play some escalation

[brazen elm]

#lfg-pc

[peak flame]

ty

[blissful mountain]

Yea i can really see why people like relatiation now

[final anchor]

Hmm

[blissful mountain]

You can prototype just gear sets right no gold ones

[warm bronze]

You can proto golds

its only Exos you cant

[jovial garden]

for prototyping the thing i want to proto should be proficiency lvl 30 first right?

[warm bronze]

correct

[jovial garden]

does prototyping do something to the talent if i do it to a named item?

[final anchor]

nope

only attributes

[jovial garden]

so it keeps the talent and adds something unique from protyping the weapon + the further boosted attribs? i saw protos had like another ability that acted like a 2nd talent

[final anchor]

a prototype gear will gain 1 augment and its maximum attribute is increased to 1.5x.

[jovial garden]

so the augment is the additional effect, gotcha

[final anchor]

yes

[jovial garden]

so it increases main attrib and doesn't reroll it? so if u proto a god roll'd weapon it will translate to a godroll proto?

in terms of main attribs atleast

not sure how the rng with augments work

[warm bronze]

Latest info on Crossplay?

[remote spade]

Went from expertise lvl 6 to high expertise lvl 14 during the expertise event, chat is this a W

[warm bronze]

not guaranteed to max all no

[fallen jacinth]

How burnt out are you?

[civic crystal]

fix your GOD DAM game sick of all the GOD DAM bugs can not do the shit half the time because you Programers will not pull your heads out of your GOD DAM ass to fix !!! Fix the GOD DAM SHIT !!!!

[warm bronze]

You alright there sparky?

[zenith urchin]

ok bro

[final anchor]

no so when you prototype a gear one stat (core or attributes) rng will be maxed out at 1.5x. any other attribute that didn't get a chance to inceases will stay the same

[remote spade]

I grinded retals for the majority bc I was 2 stubborn to do countdown, I literally never want to do another retal again

[blissful mountain]

Whats a good talent to have on the side arm. A passive talent to be specifc if there are any

[remote spade]

I prolly have 2 though bc I need the Chameleon blueprint

[blissful mountain]

Ah you did like me, close to 30 retals in 3 days

[obsidian atlas]

i was never close to it but it did put in me in the cozy 14

[remote spade]

The majority of my time was just a neverending cycle of West Potomac Park bounties straight into BT retals

[blissful mountain]

Mine was a cycle of CP terror get 3-4 retals do them rinse and repeat

[remote spade]

And then occasionally Outcast escalation into Outcast retals

[final anchor]

determined, finisher, preservation are all nice pistol talents to have

[blissful mountain]

Plus a lot like too many priority objectives in between to get the memento backpack

Crafted it in the end cause the retals gave me the bp yesterday finally

[remote spade]

I originally was thinking that but I figured that since BT execution events are so common in West Potomac Park I can just easy grind them and then the bounties are guaranteed 2-3 TL items which will help

I think I got Memento fairly early, iirc Eagle Bearer was a tough one though

[cosmic zodiac]

anyone got crafting material farm ideas. just need fabrics and stuff for recrafts

[remote spade]

And surprisingly Ouroboros was quick as well, I was fully prepared to grind that out to the end

[blissful mountain]

I have a revolver with finisher, would it be better to put it on a sawed shotgun?

[final anchor]

East mall resource farming or do count down and deconstruct afterwards

[fallen jacinth]

Damn that sounds pretty burnt out lmao, so it's like half a W?

[final anchor]

preservation might be better for a shotgun

[brisk harness]

Whats better for farming maxed out skill mods countdown or summit

[blissful mountain]

Yea but im a returnee from year 5 so a lot of my stuff was outdated other than my Lexington. Plus I cant play online (cause f ps) so I need memento cause it makes one big difference

[final anchor]

countdown

[valid sable]

Legendary missions

[blissful mountain]

How hard are countdowns solo?

[valid sable]

why solo?

[final anchor]

you shouldnt be doing countdown solo at all...

[blissful mountain]

Ill look to see if i have it in the library

[remote spade]

That's fair

[blissful mountain]

Ps player and I dont have ps+ couldn't justify when 99% of my games are story or open world

[valid sable]

yeah you can't do countdown solo

[remote spade]

I'm playing on a new character since I migrated from PS5 to PC, so retals were much needed

[remote spade]

Also countdown solo is a mess

[blissful mountain]

Ah yea this game didn't have cross save

[blissful mountain]

Ill watch a video to see how f they are but first ill craft side arms till I get a preservation one

[pliant sentinel]

u farming maxed skill mods?

[remote spade]

Yeah thankfully I'm not gonna be grinding the game as much but I think if I just put on my big boy britches and ran countdown I could of at least gotten to level 20ish

[blissful mountain]

Nah, just for the talent I plan to use a sawed off shotgun as my side arm cause of my build

[final anchor]

I wouldn't recommend even considering countdown solo but if you going to, play it on hard

[remote spade]

Or at least to a point where I maxed out all gear sets + most of the normal weapons

[fallen jacinth]

Yeah I went from 3 to 20 😭

[remote spade]

Yeesh

[fallen jacinth]

Mostly just exotics left

[remote spade]

Ur gonna take a break I assume?

[fallen jacinth]

😬

[pliant sentinel]

i took 3 days to level my expertise to 30

[blissful mountain]

What I really hope its a free ps+ weekend and ill just grind everything in those 48 hours

[blissful mountain]

How the...

[remote spade]

Is that a good 😬 or bad 😬 , if bad PLEASE take a break u deserve it

[fallen jacinth]

lmao I'm definitely not doing much countdown for a while at least

[pliant sentinel]

eat your watchpoints. i ate 10,000 watch points. greed from the bible is nothing compared to what i did.

[final anchor]

hmm

[blissful mountain]

Barely lv 60 watch here

[pliant sentinel]

just letting you know 10,000 watchpoints plus the prof xp event gets me from lvl 16 to 28 only btw xd

[blissful mountain]

So it will be a pain to get it simply said

[pliant sentinel]

all the best!

[blissful mountain]

Well time to test my new build now

[zealous herald]

are any of the devs actuall on here or do they even listen to suggestions?

[final anchor]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[jolly kettle]

Why do we not have nest in div2, its an idear? Could it not work. Division resurgence has it? So

[zenith urchin]

its just an open world activity, which we have plenty of

[jolly kettle]

You play division resurgence?

[dense burrow]

bro has anyone done the kill 4 hunters at once? to get the 4 masks and the key, can someone explain to me why tf do they despawn, I have tried this like 7 times no joke

[final anchor]

they will despawn if they get too far from you

[dense burrow]

how do i stop getting them to go too far when theres 4 of them and they keep emp'ng you

[willow geode]

CC

[dense burrow]

this is so annoying fr its me and my friend trying to do it as a duo

[final anchor]

lots of fire or foam

tbh think of it as a damage check with a timer

[willow geode]

Even something like Iron Lung could work

[tender wave]

Put the difficulty on Normal, be ready to foam them the second they appear then burst them down quickly

Ask for more help in your lfg channel if you need

[dense burrow]

okay thanks

[blissful mountain]

Welp did some testing and its quite decent. 150k body shots and 250k headshots. There are a lot of stuff I need to optimize so the damage should grow a lot later on. So I wanna ask whats the best watch exp method?

[final anchor]

playing on heroic difficulty with 4 directives 🙂

#ask-td2-community message

[loud mural]

Just run 5 directives then 🤣
One CP gives 814k xp

[carmine sky]

Just watched a video of someone doing a whole tier 10 run and getting 0 prototype drops and now my desire to farm is just gone. Ima wait for a change lol.

[final anchor]

escalation is just not the hype it is atm

[carmine sky]

Also not appealing to run the same missions we've been running for 8 yrs 100+ more times just to upgrade a piece of gear to 30 and then scrap it cause we didn't get what we wanted. Prototype is cool, but it needs to become more accessible.

[cosmic zodiac]

not a lot of people playing, missions are quite difficult and takes a good bit of time to get drops

[carmine sky]

This topic has probably been kicked to death at this point but boy did Massive massively miss the mark on this. Nobody wants to constantly upgrade gear to exp 30, especially when we're not even getting drops.

[golden raptor]

Expertise was the first mistake, proto is the cherry on top

[kind veldt]

problem with expertise is people rushing it

because proto now exists as an endpoint everyone is trying to rush the worst grind to rush in the game

[carmine sky]

I like the idea, pushing gear further to make endgame more manageable. Obtaining it is the problem.

[golden raptor]

Problem with expertise is it reinforces metas, if you’re low level and only have 1 level 30 gun why would you try other things?

[rigid wedge]

I mean the event last week made the problem better

I think i saw a 450+ shd player get to expertise level 30 on reddit

[carmine sky]

Can confirm that event launched me from 22-30 in like 2 days.

[golden raptor]

In a darkzone scenario you use your highest level gun only. Want to try that random lmg you found? Better level that shit to 30.

Stupid

[carmine sky]

Wanna level it to 30? Better go do 200 control points and landmarks!

[kind veldt]

well DZ has it's own set of problems

[golden raptor]

Yes one of them is expertise

[rigid wedge]

cheaters, not a good place to grind in general,

[kind veldt]

fact escalation is not being main source as proto as advertised because people only see expertise is an aissue

[carmine sky]

Also the differences in proto stats, like my equalizer got 9% chc, when you can get weapon damage all the way up to 22.5%. How is that equal roll balance? I feel like anything aside from core attribute upgrades is a bricked piece of equipment.

[rigid wedge]

Expertise just needs tuning or way more proficiency xp event frequency.
Escalation is a whole can of worms that needs to be changed

[golden raptor]

I’ve been level 30 for a while I’ve got like 3 guns 30. 45 exos now but still a grind for a singular item.

Not to mention the field recon data and what not

[kind veldt]

oh god i hate the term brick

it didnt become useless

it didnt become worse

it got a better stat

[blissful mountain]

Missions with 600k tho

[kind veldt]

what game you play a brick is stronger

[carmine sky]

9% chc compared to 22.5% weapon damage.

What are you taking 9 times outta 10?

[final anchor]

up to you to do whatever im just giving you the most xp stuff....

[kind veldt]

okay was it 22.5% before and it got nerfed or it was 6% crit tha t got turned into 9%?

[carmine sky]

That doesn't matter. The point being is that there's an optimal choice, and now I have to re-farm a perfectly rolled equalizer, re-level it to 30, and re-prototype it in hopes of a roll. It's idiotic.

[dreamy crescent]

only frustrations i have is the "fake stats" you get when you proto an item, i have all maxed attributes. i logout and come back and only 1 is maxed. lil slap in the face but i'll still use the item. just kinda goofy its a thing and hasnt been fixed

[golden raptor]

Bait and switch

[kind veldt]

it is the point

[golden raptor]

Update next week 21st they will probs fix

[blissful mountain]

Well ill just take the shortest mission or CP and just raise the difficulty one at a time to see whats the limit

[kind veldt]

because you are saying that item that become strong somehow turned int oa useless paperweight that is weaker

i understand it's not the optimal upgrade

but i honestly think that it's disohonest calling an upgrade a brick

[carmine sky]

An additional 3% crit chance is stronger? That's a joke tbh cause you can hit the 60% cap without it, but more weapon damage is just more weapon damage. The 2 are not the same, this item did not become stronger by any means.

[kind veldt]

is 9 smaller than 6?

yes or no

because now you can replace another crit chance slot to crit damage and get more damage

[carmine sky]

Brother. I see what you're trying to say, but it's not the correct perspective.

[golden raptor]

Tbh with the higher crit chance you can remove ceska from builds with it an stuff so it does make it stronger. Not that you all use anything but striker

[kind veldt]

and i dont think calling that brick is correct prespective

thats why i'm not arguying that upgrade path being rerolling one stat in a gamble is not great and has lot of issues

but saying an upgrade is not an upgrade is also very dishonest to me

[carmine sky]

That's only a 3% upgrade though, replacing a slot I lose 3% lol idk man. Yall got your opinions i got mine. I'm also not even using ceska so.

[willow geode]

So it is an upgrade?

[kind veldt]

apparentely higher numbers are worse than lower?

[carmine sky]

Ho-lee-fk I'm out 🤣

[final anchor]

yes but a good one debateable

[willow geode]

Reverse Upgrade

[kind veldt]

well if it was damage taken than sure

[dreamy crescent]

tbh the way they have the Gamble system is horrific, doubles in price everytime and randomizes the stats. you can get screwed over and spend 20 cores for the same result. i'd rather farm out 50 cores and just max out my stats in 1 swoop. (still making a long grind towards perfection thats intended)

[willow geode]

Or, well.. Schroedinger's Upgrade

[kind veldt]

re-rolling should be kept cheap and they do plan ot add some form of recall

i imagine they are just going to add a full item reroll when upgrading

[willow geode]

Can't wait for prototype exotics and the eventual meltdown

[dreamy crescent]

my lexington now requires 14 for a reroll, in hopes of getting echo lmao i dont even care is the minor attributes get upgraded

[kind veldt]

im a paradox main and god have blessed me with like 3 paradoxes gear

[dreamy crescent]

Proto isnt a need, its a want. and i wants it all

[willow geode]

I can do all the content just fine with my Strikers. And until thats not the case I'll be a happy DPS player

[kind veldt]

well devs dont appear to want to change that

[willow geode]

Even finished Tier 8/9 with non prototype

[kind veldt]

think some crazy people did 10 with no proto on PTS

[dreamy crescent]

oh yeah you can easily do it, ive soloed 10 a few times last week

[kind veldt]

so if anything it has proven that people dont actually need proto

[willow geode]

Then again Im not even Expertise 30 yet

[worldly crescent]

yo I just upgraded my equalizer to prototype and it changed my attribute

[dreamy crescent]

im only 1800 and hit expertise 30, its not a bad grind

[mighty girder]

visual bug, relog to see your real stats

[dreamy crescent]

^^

[willow geode]

I'm not even 500.. lmao

[mighty girder]

that's how i learned i didn't in fact hit the jackpot and get all 3 rolls on my lexington maxed

[worldly crescent]

thx, I didnt think the visual bug extended to changing reds to blues

[mighty girder]

yeah the system is kinda jank

[dreamy crescent]

yeah, ive seen 100-400 shd stressing about wanting proto for some reason.. its not that deep. it looks cool to wear, but new players need to level first

[final anchor]

devs version of April fools

[mighty girder]

i was going to quit the game, go to vegas and bet my net worth on black after seeing that lex at first

thankfully i knew to relog first

and also my net worth is like $0.99 anyway

[unique bramble]

At this point Vegas casino and prototype gear are the same thing so...

[mighty girder]

actual worse odds than a gacha game btw

[dreamy crescent]

and no pity system

[mighty girder]

45 exos and 1 proto core on the striker's battlegear banner, no pity

crazy work

[final anchor]

lol

[mighty girder]

i think the odds of getting 3 max rolls are actually worse than the listed odds of getting a 5 star character in a particular chinese gacha game

[fallen jacinth]

It's what, 0.2% or something? That's about on par with gacha yeah

[dreamy crescent]

3 max rolls with a good augment thats useful

[final anchor]

correct gacha odds are about .1% God roll protoype is about .01%

[fallen jacinth]

"Prototype Gear
Prototype gear works in a way that when you upgrade an item, you have a guaranteed 100% chance to have one random stat fully maxed. The chance of getting two or all three stats maxed is significantly lower. It is worth mentioning that there are no intermediate values when upgrading. A stat is either maxed out or remains at its previous value (the normal non-Prototype cap). According to the PTS, named attributes are always max-rolled regardless of probability (for example, HSD on White Death or DTOC on Fox's Prayer):

Chance to get one random roll maxed: 100%

Chance to get two random rolls maxed: 5%

Chance to get all three rolls maxed: 1.0%

Chance to get all four rolls maxed: 0.1%"

[final anchor]

L

[fallen jacinth]

The augment you get adds another factor into the odds though, yes

[mighty girder]

wait what item has 4 attributes other than investor

[dreamy crescent]

all four maxed and you get a grenade augment 👁️ 👄 👁️

[mighty girder]

i guess claws out but 2 of those attributes are named

[fallen jacinth]

Just copy pasting it from the reddit post

It's ultimately a kind of irrelevant number, it'll basically never happen

[remote spade]

With the sole exception of me, of course

[fallen jacinth]

The bug where it shows you with all stats maxxed until you log out is extremely funny though

[plucky bridge]

delta3 and then not online in Asia now

endless 0%

[edgy fable]

Ammo Dump too, edge cases

[fallen jacinth]

Tried out claws out with bloody knuckles while levelling expertise and wow there's truly something that sounds great on paper but sucks ass in reality

Turns out 600% of sweet fanny adams is still basically nothing

Depends on what you're running

eb is still good

[edgy fable]

It's alright, not really good anymore

[lunar hare]

it's pinned in #td2-build-advice

[remote spade]

Foam is immobilizer

[silver eagle]

Any idea why the federal bunker mission does not show as invaded? In the weekly invasion it says it is invaded

[remote spade]

Try toggling the mission mode or maybe logging back out and in and then toggling mission mode

[earnest shuttle]

eb?

eagle bearer?

nah its mid tbh

Sweet dream is something

[small plume]

Guys, is just an impression or Demolitionist is the most useless specialization in the game?
Like, it only buffs explosives, so 2 or 3 skills, ONE weapon and your grenade launcher.

It's more of a skill buff specialization, but even then, Technician does it a lot better.

I can't think about 1 positive side on it.

[mighty girder]

small dttooc buff and the ability to ignore explosions once per minute, the latter is pretty useful in some cases

i used it when i was clearing ads in DH at razorback

[reef compass]

quick question what escalation is best to do right now

[small plume]

This seems pretty pointless.

Also what's the benefit of a little bit more DTOOC and ignore explosion if you get no useful weapon damage or utility?

Or regen, anything.

I thought Survivalist was the worst specialization, but more I think about it, it might be pretty strong in a Heartbreaker build, plus pretty insane regen with Mender Seeker Mine.

[zenith urchin]

raid dps builds typically use demo because the +5% dtoc applies to the entire team

[small plume]

They die too fast anyway.

[mighty girder]

isn't it sub-group only

[zenith urchin]

im not sure about that part actually, but both sub groups are gonna have basic dps regardless

[mighty girder]

not really. raid enemies are scaled to 8 players, but often times there's just one player clearing ads from one or two doors, they can get overwhelmed if they're not careful

[final anchor]

There usually always a designated raid healer that keeps everyone up and running

[small plume]

They still die too fast.

[lean breach]

darn!

[small plume]

And like... "your weapons get worse compared to other specs, but you get a measly 5% DTOOC".

[mighty girder]

what other weapon damage spec do other specializations have that demo doesn't

[kind veldt]

like what other buffs the others have that is much better?

[mighty girder]

also dttooc is inherently more valuable than an additive increase to SWD because it appears further down the damage calculation

[small plume]

Weapon handling overall is better, headshot damage, RPM, reload speed, or even things that makes your character better, like Armor on kill.

Plus better skills, if you wanna use them.

[kind veldt]

headshot from sharpshooter is limited to rifles and snipers

mortar is busted if you invest in it

i cant say the same for healing mine, spotter drone

banshee is okay but you are not running tech if you are using gunner

[mighty girder]

also heartbreaker you want tech spec for linked laser pointer, and mender seeker mine sucks

[kind veldt]

specs overall are just failures of the own word, specialization

i wouldnt be surprised if half of the people running determined hotshot builds are actually using some random spec they forgot to change

[small plume]

I doubt, Tac-50 still pretty useful sometimes.

[kind veldt]

their impact is minimal and tech free skill tier is the most distinguishable feature of all of them

[small plume]

I think Gunner, Technician and Firewall are the best specializations.

[kind veldt]

because they have one decent feature out of 10

while the rest are just half baked also

no spec is truly good because all of them are amalgamation of poor bonus

[small plume]

Sharpshooter is not bad at all, but there's only 1 playstyle to it.

And like... as expected.
Just read it's name.

[lean forge]

Any news on the cross play?

[mighty girder]

Coming Soon™ this year

[small plume]

Galvanized Soon.

[kind veldt]

i understand what sharpshooter does, i'm saying that an entire end game system that treated specializations as a large overhaul of player progression is most of the time picking one that has a decent mod or 10% bonus for something that might be relevant to your build

pfe from survivalist might be relevant, 5% rof and armor on kill might be relevant, explosive damage might be relevant

they do give free buffs but none are interesting for the entire system to exist

[edgy fable]

That's just the Sandman talent, not the regular melee ability

[hollow stag]

Is there any possibility of obtaining the lexington without endlessly farming escalation or waiting for stretch goals rn?

[edgy fable]

No

[mighty girder]

you can also wait until christmas

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.

[hollow stag]

With no loot targeting on escalation, it'll take me till then to get it

[lean breach]

just use the po po M4. you will never see the diff in DMG

[edgy fable]

I'm not sure anymore a Lexington can actually drop from Escalations. Even if, it'd take you forever to get one

[lean breach]

who need a hunstnam

Check the LFG channels if you offer to run it

Lol

[small plume]

Piece of trash of a weapon locked behind DZ.

[hollow stag]

Im just debating what to use for striker build. Right now it's st elmos cause of magazine size

[edgy fable]

Police M4 overall best choice

[small plume]

Saint Emo is the cringiest weapon imo.
That weapon should not have 70 bullets in a mag.

[edgy fable]

Can still run Elmo where suitable

[zenith urchin]

not much for pve, but its a beast in pvp

[dusky linden]

someone told me big alejandro. I use it and i like it

[small plume]

Tipping Scales is stronger.

[slender lantern]

Maybe a newbie question: I do see quite some people having a full set of Prototype Striker gear. Can you target loot farm in escalation or are these guys just investing extreme amounts of time to get this set together as prototype?

[edgy fable]

They upgrade their existing items

Farming for good items in Escalations is pointless

[dusky linden]

you mean stronger than strikers ?

[small plume]

Yes.

[final anchor]

The latter

[slender lantern]

Oh ok I did not know that you can do this. What do I need to do this with my Striker set?

[edgy fable]

Your items need to be expertise 30 and you need a proto core per item

[hollow stag]

This is if youre using lmg though

[slender lantern]

Ah, alright, thank you. I am miles away from that.

[edgy fable]

No need to rush it. It's ultimate endgame stuff

[slender lantern]

Yep, I will ignore escalation for now. Thanks. 🙂

[small plume]

Yeah, and Big Alejandro is a LMG, as far as I'm aware.

[limber quarry]

Anyone heard when cross plays coming

[edgy fable]

You don't have to, I meant chasing this gear is endgame stuff

[edgy fable]

2026 at some point

[hollow stag]

Probably around July tbh but no updates at this moment

[limber quarry]

Why they gotta do that so vague man 😂😭

[small plume]

Probably before December 2026.

[dusty walrus]

Is it prototype gears are dropping now or what ?

[slender lantern]

Well, I am currently farming control points for the blueprint of the +15 CHC scope but I am extremely unlucky with that drop 🙁

[warm bronze]

130 if you tweak it right

[hollow stag]

Well its alot of changes, ps5/xbox also gets different surges so they need to realign everything

[small plume]

Whoever designed that weapon should get kicked in the nuts.

[edgy fable]

Jsut keep at it. Use a DPS build which allows you to clear them fast, then give it a week or two and you should have all of them

[dusty walrus]

Game running or not ... Not able to login

[slender lantern]

Yeah, I am using Striker, Overdogs, Equilizer and Big Al. It is "OK" on Heroic.

[edgy fable]

Servers are up and running

[warm bronze]

You can get the Lexy up to 84 now

[edgy fable]

Good DPS build but try farming a one-shot build with 1886 and Determined. Allows you to speed things up, especially solo

[hollow stag]

I like the investor more on heroic rn. Its like a 45% crit hit damage if you roll all reds

[mighty girder]

42%

[small plume]

Yeah, if you invest in ammo capacity.
Saint Emo has natural 70, which is absurd.

I hate this weapon.

[hollow stag]

The electricity is so unreliable on it tbh

[small plume]

It's not.
Also doesn't matter.
Ouroboros' talent is also trash.

[fallen jacinth]

It's the opposite of unreliable, you know after exactly 100 hits you'll get the shock ammo. But you use it for the base gun stats first and talent second

[lean breach]

elmo

[fallen jacinth]

remember the gun also has +15% crit and +15% crit damage

[small plume]

BALANCE.

Plus 70 ammo, because it needs it.

[fallen jacinth]

Yeah it's balanced by being an exotic and having a very delayed trigger talent

You're spending the design budget on stats instead of the talent

[small plume]

If it was only better crit stats ok, but having that much high handling and 70 ammo capacity is too much imo.

[hollow stag]

Also you're reloading 2-4 times before reaching 100 hits on escalation if youre full dps . At least imo

[tropic sentinel]

It already got nerfed so there are better guns now. Cc from talent is nice tho.

[small plume]

That slap on the wrist can barely be called of "nerf".

It's laughable.

[tropic sentinel]

Well better than making it useless.

[small plume]

Just make the ammo capacity 50.

[hollow stag]

I mean it is designed for a dps build and escalation 5 = 2/4 tap death

Assuming you're full red with no armor regen

[tropic sentinel]

Use something else if you don't like it.

[devout river]

bruh is ubi connect dropping anyone elses frames whenever it pops up

[small plume]

I hate this weapon, what makes you think I use it?

[agile pendant]

release the keener files!! now

[tropic sentinel]

So you want it nerfed for other players?

[hollow stag]

Jeffrey Keener

[quick plaza]

does turmoil transfer crits?

or would i wnna lower my crit chance/damage while trying this

There's a surprise. Don't like a thing, therefore it should not be usable by anyone else. Classic.

[full garden]

How do I view my remaining main missions?

Yes.

[tropic sentinel]

Hmm, he even has "liberty island".

[small plume]

I think Dragov would be in the files.

[kind veldt]

Just going to say thats a bit poor taste for a bit

[hollow stag]

St elmos or st James? 🤔

[agile pendant]

before elmo you barely had any good exotic ar. eb was decent but locked in raid/dz, chamleon was a joke until it was buffed recentish, cap/big horn were also niche picks

[kind veldt]

I mean AR is the weapon category to least struggle

[feral knoll]

As an LMG enjoyer I find this AR discussion fascinating.

[small plume]

I just hate this weapon because of how long it was dominant and people refused to play with you if you're not using it.

[unique bramble]

If LMG was at least a class with this reticle • not [ ]

[kind veldt]

I like the square

[small plume]

Square is fine.

[full garden]

What else is there to play after you completed the game?

[hollow stag]

Just use an overlay if you don't like the square? Nvidia has it in settings i believe

[unique bramble]

doesn't use Nvidia.

[agile pendant]

its still good no?

[kind veldt]

Still a general use weapon

Large mag + shock still useful for striker that wants lots of shots and static targets

[hollow stag]

I won't get into a GPU debate but my game runs perfectly fine at 4k ultra lol

[agile pendant]

lmgs are way better now but yeh lol, honestly supression should have debuffed opponents like battlefield games do

[unique bramble]

I wasn't talking about the screen resolution but ok

[kind veldt]

Supression becomes very useful on escalation

[hollow stag]

Yeah but then you always have that one teammate that gets too close 🤣

I never used them years ago. Now you would have to pry Carnage from my cold dead hands.

Guys???

#lfg-playstation

[tropic sentinel]

If you've completed, play other games.

[kind veldt]

Depends on what you mean completed

Just did basic campaign, have all exotics, have all builds you want, have expertise 30, collected blueprints from retaliations and season pass

[hollow stag]

You have escalation, raids, retaliation, descent, the summit. End game content is great

[kind veldt]

Otherwise, take a break until next week for a new scout

[unique bramble]

If you completed it in less than 3 hours-ish, ask for a refund on steam

[feral knoll]

And countdown.

[small plume]

It you can't find anything to do after finishing the story, I'm not even sure if you should be playing this game to start with.
Story is just a small part of the game, the endgame is the true start.

[hollow stag]

They even sell/include (depending on the game version you bought) a lvl 40 character boost that skips the story

[small plume]

Grinding, farming, creating your character, trying to make your own build, etc.

[feral knoll]

The fashion is the true end game, change my mind.

[small plume]

That too.
Warframe does it bettet though.

[hollow stag]

Warframe cosmetics runs deep into your wallet though

If you want to spend money*
You can buy most stuffs by making platinum.

I am not familiar with the game modes. How do I get to know more about them?

[unique bramble]

Playing them?

[hollow stag]

Open up your map. They'll be at the top

Raids in the bottom left corner, you can do discovery to get a feel for them

[kind veldt]

Escalation and raids are thougher stuff

[tropic sentinel]

Skins for plat are pretty mid though. Unless they've made tennogen skins available for plat as well, like on consoles?

[kind veldt]

Have a descent build ready?

[feral knoll]

To be fair, Div 2 is not so good at encouraging people post level 30 into all the game offers, or at level 40

[small plume]

Heirloom Valkyr is right there, dude.

All Heirloom skins actually.
Not to mention Protoframes.
Many other skins too.

[feral knoll]

#warfrane-general-chat lol

[hollow stag]

Descent is a barbones solo run ( can be found at the castle settlement) , countdown is 15 minutes timed (just follow everyone and you'll get a feel for it) . Id start with those

descent can be co-oped btw

[feral knoll]

There's also the DZ if you like being upset about what everyone is doing 24/7.

[full garden]

Where is the castle settlement?

[hollow stag]

For countdown you can also open up your map and hold H i believe to target specific loot

[feral knoll]

Bottle middle of Washington map, looks like a janky castle.

[hollow stag]

Middle right on the map. If you completed the story you should have it highlighted in green

[feral knoll]

Chat to Wally and they will introduce descent.

[little goblet]

what is quickstep and why is everyone looking for it?

[hollow stag]

Pistol +20% movement speed

[feral knoll]

Or just head to the descent (D) icon.

[full garden]

I don't see it

[sterile cedar]

How far have you gone solo/multiplayer?

[little goblet]

+20% movement speed? you mean you run faster with it?

[feral knoll]

Yes

[hollow stag]

Yes you can get it by houndsman bounty

[little goblet]

damn now i want one too, i dont use my sidearms for nothing

[feral knoll]

It is the Usain Bolt gun

[little goblet]

who?

[full garden]

I am at Haven settlement. How do I fast travel back to the White House?

[little goblet]

where can i find that bounty?

[hollow stag]

Middle of the map there's an orange icon for white house, just hold X over it

[feral knoll]

@little goblet it was a limited event so you'd have to ask in the relevant lfg channel.

[hollow stag]

Yeah i got lucky and some dude i agreed to help ran like 5 houndsman bounties b2b

[little goblet]

so only the people that did it when the event was on, can re do the mission?

[full garden]

Holding X doesn't fast travel me. Remember, I am using a PS5 controller

[feral knoll]

It's a specific bounty, the houndsman, or the bloody houndsman, which people run and reset before completing. Again, ask in LFG.

[unique bramble]

Hold []

[little goblet]

Will do, thanks

[wild hearth]

yo ppl can you help me?

[feral knoll]

With?

[hollow stag]

Gotta be more specific

[wild hearth]

my journey dont count drone kills even if i have enough utility stacks

[hollow stag]

Does it say you need to have more than offense stacks or something?

[hollow stag]

I was having that same problem with the same mission. I just ran around on story difficulty to complete that

[small spear]

i just stop at 40 for the armpatch

[obsidian atlas]

[obsidian atlas]

i was sure i am grammatically correct

[devout river]

is the catalyst transmog bugged? i cant change its look

[quick plaza]

you cant transmog exotics besides the visual gear options

[obsidian atlas]

only way to transmog them is using gear visual override in apparel

[devout river]

how do i do that. this mask is interfering with my look

[unique bramble]

I mean, the ruin hunter to ruin the day.

[obsidian atlas]

i keep forgetting how these hunters have edgy ahh names

where are the four horseman then

Just hide mask completely.

[frigid merlin]

What is the use of agitator

[obsidian atlas]

agitates people, make them real agitated

[frigid merlin]

It lowers your threat level by default?

[kind veldt]

have burst of DPS when switching weapons and less aggro

[frigid merlin]

So if you keep it as secondary weapon, you agitated teamates?

[obsidian atlas]

i don't know, i'm not feeling agitated

[hollow stag]

Ironic that it's called the agitator and it removes threat level.

[obsidian atlas]

someone didn't think it through with the naming

[frigid merlin]

I mean it does agitate enemies when you whip it out

[obsidian atlas]

whoa sir, have some combat zone decency

[hollow stag]

You agitate your teammates cause now they're getting gunned down

[kind veldt]

on paper lets you cooldown and use another weapon then switch back on to get burst of DPS and become the main target

[obsidian atlas]

public enemy number one, pair it with the gun shield and you should be a rather useful tactical asset of the team

[kind veldt]

treath is just badly explained so no one knows can say if it's really great or not

[hollow stag]

Threat is how badly enemies want to hurt you lol

[frigid merlin]

Isn't it good to just have it holstered

[odd schooner]

Sounds like a task for umbra, hide in cover and heal up after catching some attention

[frigid merlin]

In a team you get hit less or smth

[obsidian atlas]

all these geatsets sounds more and more like branching doctrines that has been passed down through generations of division agents

[hollow stag]

Its great if youre focused on dps that way someone can tank the damage for you

Or if youre a healer

[odd schooner]

At least its a F 2000

[hollow stag]

What is a good set that won't be downed in 2 seconds but also has good damage in escalation?

[obsidian atlas]

sets that reminds you to take cover?

[frigid merlin]

Heartbreaker

I mean even in cover striker gets 2 tapped while shooting

The new core set may also be useful.

greetings, a friend and i started a new character some weeks ago. we hit level 40, solved all main quests (camp white oak was the last one) visited NY but we still dont get acess to our watch / clock .. can someone help us? what did we missed?

[tropic sentinel]

Talk to quartermaster.

[feral knoll]

Need to talk to the dude at the specialisations.

[vast shuttle]

we tried this of course but nothing 🙁

[zenith urchin]

considering 99% of the tech in the franchise is made by ortiz, who officially worked for both bt and shd, and agents are explicitly stated to work together in trainer trainee(s) pairs (before activation)
thats probably literally what gear set talents are

[feral knoll]

At the Whitehouse?

[odd schooner]

Head to the whitehouse, at where you buy skills (striker drones, turrets), at the right hand side next to it, interact with that.

[umbral dock]

If this ortiz guy was such a genius inventor why didn’t he make his incinerator turret good

[vast shuttle]

yes . we can level it but cant "click" it or skill them (like i remember years ago

[zenith urchin]

worse, it was multiple genius inventors
and they still couldnt make flame turret good

[hollow stag]

You do that in inventory. Top

[umbral dock]

[feral knoll]

The watch is not an active skill. You level via the inventory.

[vast shuttle]

i know but you can skill them or spent some points .. right? cause we cant do this 🙁

[hollow stag]

Its a passive modifier. No skills. You can add more modifiers but they don't work in events like escalation or countdown. Youre talking about shd level. Its in top right of inventory

[feral knoll]

You need to select an available option in the watch (one of the 4) then extend the points invested. Read the screen, it should tell you which keys or buttons to use.

[kind veldt]

you can post screenshots on #ask-td2-community if you are having trouble explaining

[vast shuttle]

ah ok i will post it in this chan .. thanks 🙂

[feral knoll]

Note that that you need 1k points (SHD levels) to increase the 4 watch options to maximum.

[devout river]

bruh i hate getting into escalations when i just wanna run basic heroic

[hollow stag]

Yeah . Im salty that I didn't play that much on XP boost. Im only at 200 rn

[feral knoll]

Change the mission type then.

[glass ember]

Hi,
i wanted to ask if i could get some help obtaining the quickstep? 🙂

[north trench]

East mall retaliation sucks it takes forever

[devout river]

matchmaking onto heroic matchmakes any heroic mission.

[tacit solstice]

Is there even a reason to do all 100 floors of summit

[hollow stag]

Honestly no

Takes forever imo and you can farm exotics in countdown much faster

[wild hearth]

Snitch fought with me for Haunted House CP and disappered after scrap was over

where he can be if CP aggrivated him?

[frigid merlin]

Yea they seemed to lump them altogether. I only get escalations when I q heroic

[hollow stag]

I barely run heroic. There should be loot only tied to heroic tbh

[devout river]

im grinding proficiency still.

[wild hearth]

heroic loot is not that much better than challenging one

tbh heroic and legendary shall generate better drops

[feral knoll]

Either the snitch will be at one of their usual spawn locations, or they will vanish for about an hour, then be back at the usual locations.

[odd schooner]

for heroic, for example, chc gear mods should be less than 5% mostly, and rarely goes above 5%. Protection from Elites gear mods is usually 11%. You will find yourself playing legendary summit farming those stuff later on. This game just goes on.

[devout river]

whats the obj for manhunt 2 and 3

[cosmic spindle]

Hi I need help hiring for NY hunters the 4 in 1 masks. Anyone available? I'm on PSN Mj-The-Wize.

[feral knoll]

Check in #lfg-playstation

[wild hearth]

hostage rescue and bounty

[ocean ibex]

got from lvl 1 to 25 expertise during this event, I need a shower

[fallow idol]

The devs gotta quit with this hostage rescue shit, been an hour and one still hasn’t spawned anywhere

[golden raptor]

Back in my day was no proficiency events, you guys are lucky

The slog to level 1k shd without a single double xp event whilst farming loot from solely Summit,, you guys just dont understand the pain

Blessed, blessed you are

[rich tide]

that sounds like a nightmare

[tropic sentinel]

It wasn't that bad. People nowadays just want everything done in one day.

[golden raptor]

I needed therapy after.

[kind veldt]

which control point for the scout this week?

honestly forgot the reset was today

[summer wyvern]

Is anyone able to help me with this game to get more better stuff I'm not fully Brand new but still confused dm me

[iron adder]

Haunted house 🏚️

[kind veldt]

in general people in #ask-td2-community can answer most question, otherwise you can use #lfg-playstation to find people

[wintry wraith]

Can someone help me out? Lol

[willow geode]

Its not like people used to mule pre Brooklyn..

[lunar hare]

ah yes, just let me read your mind real quick and I will answer the question

[wintry wraith]

Its possible to invite someone at a boss checkpoint right?

[jagged canyon]

I miss purple flame

[lunar hare]

of what?

[wintry wraith]

The manager mission on masters lol

[quaint crescent]

Is it worth getting this game since its pretty old ?

[lunar hare]

yes

[agile pendant]

sheriff is amazing wow

[kind veldt]

it really is

[summer wyvern]

Could anyone help me get st. Elmos ar please and thank you

[edgy fable]

#lfg-playstation

[summer wyvern]

Thank u I'm new to this

[edgy fable]

Or simply play Countdown on challenging, buy exotic caches

[summer wyvern]

Also thank u that helps a lot I have no clue what to do 😭

[atomic lily]

I maybe crazy but since I bought the recruiter outfit, I encounter way more rogue agents npc

Every single mission, even open world

[mossy imp]

I'm glad there's no event this week. Relief.

I have time to get through the NY dlc and unlock those skills

[oak anvil]

How can i get a Pristine Example Named Chest? I'm starting to think he doesn't exist.

[mossy imp]

I got some recently. Probably in countdown

[oak anvil]

Uhh, I'm so unlucky...

[mossy imp]

I don't think I've had a lot of them

Probably less common

[fallow idol]

Neutralize true sons activities not tracking I see

[limber estuary]

where the black task retal

[edgy fable]

Get rid of or do your Retaliations

[young cargo]

I enjoy the ravenous but with that and the sheriff i feel like i didnt earn them since ive never done master

[small plume]

Crap...
No Kard Custom again in the DZ vendors.

Well, at least there's Rock n' Roll in it.

[cinder nacelle]

The pain of getting proto guns which are amazing in every way except the weapon talent 😩 . I've got a couple now which were so close to greatness.

[small plume]

Guys, who the hell is Draugr and why I can't find him?

[paper canyon]

Does anyone else also have the problem that activities for the projects do not count?
Yesterday I had the problem with the Outcasts and today it´s the same for the True Sons.
I made the Capitol before and this did count, but not control points, public executions, etc. for the activities and the named True Sons... 🙁

[noble jackal]

Did I just give the “Hyenas” hell with the “True Sons”?

Okay, that was really cool

[sage thicket]

Do you have retaliations readied? That seems to be a problem that's been persisting for some time. You need to forgo them.

[grim charm]

Yea gotta abandon or finish any retaliations you have ready to go, has been here since day 1 of the season, annoying 😩

[edgy fable]

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.

[past spruce]

thanks

[kind veldt]

#lfg-pc

[paper canyon]

You were right, I had one active retaliation from the True Sons. I canceled it and now it counts.
Didn´t know that, thx for the info! 🙂

[lean breach]

Im running quick step bounties!! for a little bit so come find me in LFG PC

[gloomy kernel]

Are kill squads triggered by time?

[brave breach]

Decided to make a new person to do the brooklyn dlc and normal feels impossible ahaha

[gloomy kernel]

Or by how many control points there is in a single retaliation?

[tough citrus]

no and no jsut rng

[gloomy kernel]

Weird, i swear i've been getting a kill squad every 3-4 minutes.

[ruby canopy]

@gloomy kernel iv had kill squads literally as we walk out the start door...or right in the middle of a control point take over....i even got 1 right as retaliation finished....must have triggered with right on the last CP kill ....so they dont just come inbetween runs between control points...they ambush you anytime!

[gloomy kernel]

I see, i see.

[tender yew]

Yo, why do i keep getting dropped from d2. Foxtrot 01 error and delta 03

[brave breach]

Can you call for back up in the middle of a mission vaise i cant beat this one in brooklyn

[tender yew]

Non stop

Yes i believe you can call for backup. Or just matchmake

[brave breach]

Im at the final part on normal i legit cant beat it ahah

[odd schooner]

Wow. I just realized. LMGs when in cover, and enter aim to shoot, is slower than Assault Rifles. Making it instant death in Solo Legendary gameplay.

[kind veldt]

you can call for backup

[ruby canopy]

@brave breach should be able to just open map and either hover over the mission your on location and click to matchmake...or call for back up....cant be during combat obviously

[brave breach]

Will people help on story. Edit i cant beat it on story diffculty

[ruby canopy]

@brave breach my own rule of thumb is to try matchmake for 2-3mins 1st then try call for help....it usually works

try call for aid as hardly anyone will matchmake story mode

[brave breach]

Idk ive never had any luck with the back up request

[small plume]

Ok, WHO the hell is Draugr and how do I find him to kill?

It says he is in Constitution Hall, but he is not there.

[stable sorrel]

final step?
|| a bounty called Unquiet ||

[feral knoll]

Depends on the LMG. Fire rate varies across the entire LMG family. They do not shoot faster or slower from cover natively; any speed ramps would be due to talents or gear sets.

[edgy fable]

LMGs aren't firing slower when in cover - unless you use Umbra (in cover normal RoF while ooc it depends on how much the buff is stacked)

[kind veldt]

think it's about ADS timing not rate of fire

#lfg-pc

[feral knoll]

ADS is slower on larger zoom scopes, faster on iron-sight and iron-sight adjacent.

There is limited value putting a 4x scope or above on an LMG as they don't have the range of a sniper rifle to benefit and they generally don't have high head-shot multiplier either. They are way more versatile with the various non-zoom scopes for crit, stability, or what have you.

[edgy fable]

C-79 is ideal usually

[feral knoll]

Yep, just ADS, no need to use the zoom.

[sterile cedar]

C79* 😎

If you haven’t tried it yet, the HSD holo is nice on a sniper. Kinda feels like the 1886

[slate tusk]

Aw geez what's going on. I lost 50 stash space slot. I'm suppose to have 500 but it went down to 450

[pastel ravine]

is there a fix for the dye issues on cosmetic gear pieces yet

[edgy fable]

No, sadly not

[pastel ravine]

i get that it's a small thing but wtf it's been months

[edgy fable]

You played with someone who did not buy the last DLC with stash space addtition. Relog and it'll go back to 500 for you. Another annoying bug that was not recognized yet AFAIK

[slate tusk]

thanks

[odd schooner]

Im saying while in cover, the speed to enter combat. Assault rifle is a lot faster than LMGs.

SMGs also seem to walk a bit faster while zoomed in.

In solo, enemies tend to have lower armor (white) to health ratio, making assault rifle the superior choice. But in multiplayer, enemies tend to have higher armor to health ratio, making LMGs the superior choice. Also in multiplayer, sustained damage output is more achievable, making LMGs slightly better. But in general, due to the faster to enter combat animation for assault rifles compared to lmgs, you would want to pull out an Assault Rifle when 3 enemies are shooting at your cover at the same time.

[tender yew]

Getting foxtrot 01, delta 03 and delta 04 when i attempt login, if it DOES login i get dropped immediately and these codes pop up again when tryi g to login. This has been for an hr and a half now. Whats the issue here

Again, logged in with a different saved character, and 2mins and dropped. Delta 04.

[feral knoll]

Oh, so stow speed. Righto.

[tender yew]

Never had this issue before. Ever. Really p-ing me off consideri g the $ ive spent on season passes with this game

[feral knoll]

Given there aren't hundreds of PS players currently experiencing the same thing it might be internet connection or local to you.

[tender yew]

Ya idk. Ive unplugged router and all the trouble shooting garbage and nothing helps

My test speed is currently 81 mbps download and 24 mbps upload

Pretty standard.

[agile pendant]

speeds dont matter its ping, jitter and nat that matters for games

[tender yew]

I love how i try to email ubisoft support a ces and it directs me here. Awesome

[agile pendant]

menu in game should have network tab, check it out

[kind veldt]

they shouldnt be redirecting you to this server

they have their own support server

#rules has a link to their discord support server

[tender yew]

Om maybe it is different then, i just know it says discord

[kind veldt]

because no one here works on that side of things, we dont have even an official tech support channel

[tender yew]

Would love to check the in game network menu your speaking about, accept i have to be able to get in game.

Trying again

[kind veldt]

is this one i think they were talking about

[tender yew]

Thats thenonly in game network option i know of

Looks pretty normal

Im in game now,

And kickes again. Delta 3 this time

So frustrated.

[feral knoll]

Understandable, but those error codes relate to connection issues; if the servers are up, then it's more likely to be latency/ packet loss, something router related or ISP shenanigans.

[agile pendant]

do you have mobile data?? try connection for the playstation to a mobile hotspot using your phones data. if its stable then the issue is on the home isp side

[lean breach]

I had to game on a hot spot for a few weeks. Some providers have godly hotspots hahaha

[agile pendant]

yes depends though come carriers heavy throttle videos streaming and others. mine does, f*** u loser telus mobile 😒

[lean breach]

I’m on visible the hot spot was just wow hahah

[lean breach]

Dang is that America or eu comp..?

[agile pendant]

canada lol, us carriers are better and dont have as many restrictions

[lean breach]

Ahh yeah that’s right I know that comp now. Yeahh you get governed harder then a 1984 corvette

[agile pendant]

games are light though, division uses around 1-3mbps thats nothing

hardest part is downloading them

[hybrid ore]

@atomic stratus You're looking for #lfg-pc, GL Agent

[analog axle]

So why is fed bunker not counting for my weekly invasion? It says get to keener before BT an I have it set for manhunt but not getting cred

[hollow dust]

hi

[undone timber]

if you have an active retaliation, abandon it or complete it

[hybrid ore]

The Manhunt versions of Missions are not part of the weekly "Invasion", they're their own thing.
You need to do the regular Invaded version.

[undone timber]

i didnt even register it said invasion oops

[hybrid ore]

Yeah took me a second to remember Keener had a Manhunt there :p

Basically, hover over the Invaded Stronghold (or however it works on xbox) and you'll see 3 lines leave it, those are the Invaded Weekly Missions.

If one goes to a friendly stronghold, it's an offsite mission, like Coney/DARPA, etc.

GL Agent

[undone timber]

it should list them directly on the invaded stronghold for the week

[agile pendant]

noob

[analog axle]

Yeah it says federal emergency bunker: Aaron Keener on weekly

[hybrid ore]

Okay gimme a sec to login.
It's deffo a visual glitch, as Manhunts 1000000% do not count for the Invasion.

[analog axle]

Yeah I thought it was visual tried re logging an everything it may be the retaliation messing me up thts only thing I haven't tried

[hybrid ore]

Okay so it's not saying that on mine, I would guess that maybe it's just listing whichever version of the Mission you have active.

But regardless: it will not work for your Invasion process.

[analog axle]

Kk

Gonna swap it over and cancel retaliation just to be safe lol

Yeah swapped to invaded an weekly says invaded version now sneaky game lol thanks for the info folks

[white saddle]

what mission do i need to run for the tinker mask?

[tired nymph]

Hosted a tier 5 escalation only for the game to crash mid-mission and now I don't got any tokens

[white saddle]

i was just doing a black tusk heroic retal and i crashed...

[edgy fable]

Potomac Event Center, The Manager climax mission

[white saddle]

how do i get access to that?

[edgy fable]

Change mission mode either via map or on the spot

[lean breach]

We did just have a Huge update so it prob is super bugged out. I haven’t seen many bugs other than a bug in conflict so I’m betting it’s bugged atm.

[small plume]

DUDE!

Did I just witnessed a bastard Hyena shooting a dog???

[fluid meadow]

He had to proc his determined

[lean breach]

Yeah I hate that for real.

I had a guy I was helping get named items kill a deer no reason prob won’t be inviting him again 🤣 but for real na I’m not. And as of tomorrow I’m adding a new stipulation to me helping farm the bloody huntsmen.
No killing wildlife 🤣🤣

[drowsy pewter]

wait that works?

[lean breach]

Yes well it used to. Idk no more

[fluid meadow]

Find out 👀

[opaque lion]

i don't know if it works for Determined but it does work on stuff like obliterate

[fluid meadow]

You can also proc armor on kill

[opaque lion]

do creatures even have a headshot hitscan?

[fluid meadow]

Yes you can hear the headshot crunch sound

[shut cipher]

How do I get automated defense parts ? I can’t work it out

[lean breach]

And keep headhunter rolling

But just remember if you do and you do not drag the body back to the White House to harvest the meat you are a turd lol

[lean breach]

What’s the icon of it

[feral knoll]

side note if you shoot fauna whilst in retaliation, it subtracts time so wanton distruction of wildlife will actively impact the team, just FYI.

[spring trench]

iirc you have to exchange broken watches for them?

[lean breach]

Yes, wildlife kills take away from retail timer

[opaque lion]

i've only exchanged them from broken watches so far to get a copy of Ravenous

[feral knoll]

workbench, under exotics actually it might be materials come to think, bottom of list, trade watches for them to craft.

[lean breach]

Yes and you can convert the hyena shards, true sons, dog tags, etc., but not black Tusk materials tokens tickets whatever they’re called

[small plume]

Guys

Who

the hell

[fluid meadow]

And dying is the equivalent of killing 75 wildlife so consider that before being killed

[small plume]

IS DRAUGR?

[odd briar]

How are we meant to complete mason 7 of the journey event? I don't understand how these stacks work

[lean breach]

Me either but if you get the 3 mods that look like beer mugs you will do it I did that it works

[odd briar]

Got it... lol

Also, where is this stack counter at? How are we supposed to keep track of the stacks?

[deep patio]

the modifiers menu is on the left side of ur shd watch menu while ur in the inventory menu

[lean breach]

Hell if I know bro hahahaha. Track the journey for that and just watch it tick up you know it’s working g hahaha

[odd briar]

I understand that. But one of these missions is to kill enemies with having less than 10 offense, defense or utility stacks.. How do I keep track of these stacks?

[deep patio]

you specifically build to have less than 10 offense

[lean breach]

Ooooo. Idk. I’m sorry. I think what dude said inbetween us BSing said how to check p

[deep patio]

then do whatever task that requires less 10 offense

use the passive modifiers to change your stacks value

[daring spruce]

anyone mind helping me out? just got the game i played then division one a lil bit

[deep patio]

uh just experience the story solo

until ur lvl 40 after wony dlc then matchmaking opens up alot

[graceful dove]

you don't even need the wony dlc anymore, just once you're level 40

[deep patio]

oh right

[prisma notch]

Anyone know How I can find 35 automated defense parts for ravenous? Now that I have blueprints

[deep patio]

i dont think any faction drops it (i might be wrong) but you can craft it using broken shd watch that can be converted from materials from other factions

[velvet urchin]

ive recently gotten an OD build and this build feels so good to play with! i dont even have it completely set up and its been really strong.

[odd briar]

I have a picture, I would really appreciate if I can DM this to someone and have them help me figure out these last two mission for journey 7. Pretty please.

[odd briar]

Chat just suddenly died... :/

[hybrid ore]

@odd briar #ask-td2-community has image permissions, just post it there and someone can give you a hand.
It's best not to ask for random DM's, these days people will mostly assume it's a scam of some sort.

[odd briar]

Oh.. That's unfortunate and disheartening... 🙁

[obsidian atlas]

funny how most direct method of messenging are associated with treachery and schemes

[flat forge]

asking in community chat can be helpful since many people might have the same question and also has more people to answer

[toxic musk]

Hello. I am a good and honest person. You can trust me with your private information. HAND IT OVER

(I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH DO NOT DO THAT)

[odd briar]

You seem like a very trustworthy user.. 🙂 lol

[toxic musk]

I am very trustworthy. Definitely

[hybrid ore]

Mostly they'll pretend to be someone official, or offering something for nothing.
The scams have existed for longer than most countries, they've just evolved over time.

[toxic musk]

Can't believe some poor sap in the Battle of the Somme fell for a Mr Least Discord bot

[odd briar]

Just noticed and completely unrelated... Nice SWTOR tag.. 😛

[toxic musk]

Now. Equalizer or Tipping Scales chest with Salvo...

Hmm. Sod it, I'm going to try Salvo for a bit

[hybrid ore]

Thanks! Been a while since I've ran SWTOR, but will always love it.

[toxic musk]

What the hell is a SWTOR

Oh wait. I got it, Star Wars?

[obsidian atlas]

online mmo starwars, correct

[toxic musk]

Gods greatest guesser

[hybrid ore]

aka: the best star wars.

I said it.

[toxic musk]

I liked Battlefront 2 purely because Phasma has Drip

[obsidian atlas]

that came out since 2008, aside from the battlefront ones, EA have done nothing but trying to replicate god of war ever since

[toxic musk]

(I genuinely cannot state how much Star Wars is uninteresting to me. Except the funny stuff)

[hybrid ore]

It's a sequel of sorts to KOTOR, if you needed a reason to love it even more.

[toxic musk]

Which one is the one where you just kill all the big characters?

[hybrid ore]

Oh uh the one with the silly name.

star murdered?

starkiller, that's it!

[toxic musk]

Star Wars: Swag Messiah

Starkiller is a banger name, though

[hybrid ore]

Okay okay to get back on topic, I would commit several warcrimes for a crossover with swtor and div2.

[obsidian atlas]

what do we get? a melee weapon?

[toxic musk]

"I'm Rey Skywalker, hello"

"Silence wench, I am STARkiller"

[hybrid ore]

fun fact: original intended surname for Luke.

George Lucas is a bit odd.

[toxic musk]

Force Powers. So we can be even more horrifying to the local mouth breathers

[hybrid ore]

I just want the Bounty Hunter tech from swtor.
an outcast with that flamethrower sweep

[toxic musk]

Rebb Ford jumpscare

[undone timber]

Beskar chestplate

[small plume]

Ok, I guess I have a full PvP set.
Not sure how functional it is, I hope it's good.

[odd briar]

I'd have to agree.

[toxic musk]

Come to think of it. Why the hell don't we have the Hyena Shock sticks yet

[hybrid ore]

I've gotta justify my..... more hours than i care to admit in WF somehow.

[toxic musk]

Same.....same

[small plume]

Space mom mentioned?

[toxic musk]

Oh god what have I done

[gloomy kernel]

Is there any website similar to games lantern where i can check up builds for this game? I don't want to hear youtubers yap for half an hour whenever i want to make a new build.

[toxic musk]

Could always take a gander in Build Advice

[gloomy kernel]

Will do

[hybrid ore]

Specifically:
Check out the 📌 pinned-message over in #td2-build-advice, there's a "spreadsheet 2" in there, with a bunch of meta builds made by our resident build nerds.

[pliant sentinel]

hi rivens

[gloomy kernel]

Nice, thank you.

[toxic musk]

I am once again low on Exotic components for making things Expertise 30

[feral knoll]

Ah yes, we can add telekineses and homicide via energy baton to an already extensive list of war crime sources..

[toxic musk]

At what point do we just stop calling whatever we're doing war

[hybrid ore]

We actually can't be legally charged within the US for warcrimes, so burn away!

[toxic musk]

We have so much fancy stuff us HITTING people would put them in a higher tax bracket

[feral knoll]

is it really war or just a collection of unrelated instances of sudden death syndrome. Who's to say.

[hybrid ore]

I'm picturing using the Bullet King as a melee weapon now.

it fires literal gold bullets.

[toxic musk]

IT WHAT

[hybrid ore]

There's a side-mission in WONY that explains it.
The Rikers started to use Gold for ammo.
