Legendary Difficulty > Escalation

[green badge]

Just upgraded my contractors gloves to Proto. Took me over 2 days to farm the mats. This needs to change, it's fecked and feels like a Blizzard game. Great feature, poorly balanced.

On a brighter note, it maxed my DtA to 12% 😋

[torpid ocean]

its the second time we did escalation and both rooftops are rogue agents

we're getting cooked 2v3

[stuck hamlet]

Feel like Blizzard caught a strey bullet here xd

[fervent sierra]

Did my first escalation yesterday I do agree

[mighty creek]

Its just devs pushing the bullet sponges to the max.

Saw a tier 10 escalation solo run video few days ago, even weakspots are tanky wtf.

[sullen viper]

its not like the entire game was balanced to be more or less not as bullet spongey as div1

here we are again

[agile gyro]

I still got ptsd from div 1 bullet sponges.

[south topaz]

I need to fire like 200 bullet to break changas chain on t10 hp scales like crazy on full squad so more bullet

[pallid cypress]

yeah but every proto item is an uber rare that can roll with horrible stats lmao

[sullen viper]

well he was able to upgrade his so no mor need for him to grind proto

gamedesign is my passion

[agile gyro]

I met jesus himself in the darkzone

[stuck hearth]

He had Ghost mode on

how have i only now learned that you can double-tap the re-armor button to get a quick partial refil?....

[neon merlin]

[quick plaza]

i wish

[neon merlin]

LIAR

[quick plaza]

go try it

[stuck hamlet]

I don't know who's gas lighting who her ein thie conversation but if that's a thing I also didn't know xd

[quick plaza]

i really wish i was gaslighting

[celest sluice]

Pretty sure the game tells you that in the beginning, but lol

[quick plaza]

ok nvm, theyre a 'recently' newish addition (2024)

https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/wiki/thedivision2/changelog/#wiki_title_update_20

Instant Armor Kits

Additionally, they are introducing a new feature that allows players to instantly use an Armor kit to replenish 25% armor with a 5-second cooldown. This is in addition to the existing functionality of holding the button to replenish 100% armor.

man im legit trying to consider if negotiator chestpiece is worht it for an lmg build, esp for alejandro

cuz marking 5 enemies and all mowing em down at once sounds great

[undone timber]

It isn't

[quick plaza]

3 is plenty? or like?

[undone timber]

Yes

[quick plaza]

fair fair, cant wait to have a full red investor to go with it thou

#lfg-pc

[obtuse pecan]

hi guys, is the bluescreen blueprint that drops from manhunt mission not a guaranteed drop?

[umbral dock]

doesn’t the game tell you this, like, at level 1

[undone timber]

It's the reconfigure blueprint only

[undone timber]

On new playthroughs probably but it was added post launch

[obtuse pecan]

yeah, but it didnʻt drop at completion. is it ok?

[meager portal]

.

how do i change my roles?

[remote spade]

At channels & roles at the top of the channel browser

[meager portal]

omg, im blind, thanks lmao

[obtuse pecan]

ok, it dropped but it didnt showed up on reward screen. found it in crafting bench menu

[obsidian storm]

This might be a dumb or crazy take 😅. But with RNG being what it is, I’d be willing to sacrifice a little dps for having better luck.

An exotic weapon or gear piece, or even a Back pack trophy that improves my RNG for targeted drop quality, exotics, and prototype items I think would be great. Of course they could always just improve the overall RNG lol

Yay or Nay to a luck mechanic?

[green badge]

Add more RGB around your system. RGB = increased luck and dps .

[stuck hamlet]

Can you literally type in game chat /join a player and it joins them?

[flat forge]

Only if their group is open, else you have to match their group setting (being their friend, clan member, etc)

[silver thorn]

Does anyone know what a “corrupted paper lantern” is?

[swift crag]

How many exotics do you guys own? Recently began the End game journey in full and would like to measure my progress.

[fluid meadow]

Everything

[swift crag]

I'm sure some players own everything, probably a 10k SHD player though

[kind veldt]

Everything only 3.7k

Retaliation makes if anything all exotics free

[fluid meadow]

Granted exotics are not really "exotic" anymore
You can probably find a pestilence by the side of the road

Only one that fits the description is regulus

[storm yoke]

I remember having to go into the dz to find one😭

[green badge]

Scrapped all mine for expertise recently. Kept a few special ones, and my builds in use ones.

[kind veldt]

Exotics are extremely common, just do countdown and buy exotic caches, for new players its a lot of free exotics

[swift crag]

3.7k, 10k-- tomatoes, tomatoes

Lol I'm SHD 200

[stuck hamlet]

That's hwere i got almost all of mine as new player 😄

i am 195 and opened maybe 100 caches from countdown 😄

[swift crag]

Blueprints are a godsend, but the mats require a lotof grinding

[serene hawk]

Anyone here having issues with the echo augment? I have 3 pieces on my striker build and they never proc

[swift crag]

Also, how many shop based hunter cosmetic outfits are there?

[frigid obsidian]

Where can I check a meter of a retaliation meter going up?

[fluid meadow]

Open your map and you'll find it in top left corner
Go to retal tab and you'll see it

[stuck hamlet]

Are Rogue Agents heroic only?

[swift crag]

Challenging as well

[fluid meadow]

Fairly sure they can appear at any difficulty but story

[stuck hamlet]

Guess just a coinsodence my first heroic CP had rogue agents ^^

[pallid cypress]

rogue agents love showing up when I concoct a horrible build to try it out

[stuck hamlet]

I'm pretty sure horrible build is my default ;]

[serene hawk]

Anyone here having issues with the echo augment? I have 3 pieces on my striker build and they never proc

[agile gyro]

I haven’t seen rogue agents in a hot minute, had them spawn once recently but never actually saw em

[frigid obsidian]

I don’t have a retaliation tab on my map. Do I not have it unlocked? Sorry for the ping

[fluid meadow]

That's weird

[meager portal]

anybody know any good raiding groups on pc willing to bring ppl in? im a low shd level but im an experienced raider from console

[cunning forum]

can somebody tell me why i don't get my lullaby and ruthless when creating a new character on my fresh account that has the year 1 bundle

[stuck hamlet]

Can't tell you how much i can't do legendary 😄 it feels so far away xd

[rancid orchid]

Fuuuuuu sooooo maaaaanyy countdowns still no ninja bike 😭

[rancid orchid]

Mmm you need to be lvl 40 to unluck it i believe

[regal galleon]

What's the pro and con of a Bluescreen build with Ongoing Directive vs Negotiator's Dilemma?

[rancid orchid]

Put that shit into Google ai haha

[meager portal]

use it with Tipping Scales, its really good

[jovial garden]

Is it just me or are headshot values in the negatives visually?

[mint aspen]

I get it with bighorn usually

[jovial garden]

Ye, had it with a bighorn but when i swapped to another weapon the visual bugged carried over

almost got scared i thought my headhunter setup was going to be the headtickler

[agile gyro]

new meta?

[graceful dove]

It's one of these little claw things you use to massage your scalp

[agile gyro]

I mean I'd die to that aswell, its relaxing

[regal galleon]

I have a full Tipping Scales and Nego setup, but was curious about OD. I'm still new to the game, but lucky enough to have all the cool exotic LMGs so I'm trying our various builds.

[jovial garden]

How do I start brooklyn dlc? It keeps telling me to go to the pilot but it isn't in the list, I own and purchased the dlc

[stuck hamlet]

when you talk to the NY Pilot he only has 2 options, Brooklyn and Newyork

Is the NY Pilot though not the other one

[edgy fable]

There are two pilots, FYI

One is at the helipad, the other one left of the WH main entrance from your fast travel location

[stuck hamlet]

^Yeah this

[jovial garden]

Oml yeah saw them, i thought there was just 1 pilot and he relocated after i started wony, cheers

weird this guy isnt marked on the map like the other pilot

[stuck hamlet]

Mine is marked 🤔 big yellow skull thing maybe because I haven't finished the stuff?

[jovial garden]

Mine weirdly isn't

[keen lily]

Anyone else having this bug that gear mods don't equip if you change loadout? And weapon mods + skin

[umbral dock]

Bluescreen OD is comfy, easy to proc, but you are losing out on a huge amount of damage from Sadist on a high-end gun. Even more damage loss when you think about losing Tinkerer’s. It’s more support oriented, which isn’t always as useful as pure damage.

Bluescreen ND is also comfy, but the double synergy marking feels so good you don’t really mind the absense of a highend damage perk like measured or frenzy.

[kind veldt]

#lfg-xbox

[regal galleon]

Thanks!

[pallid cypress]

had them spawn today when i tried to do a t5 escal solo

[swift badge]

Is it me or are the servers really bad on console rn

[graceful dove]

I just logged in fine on xbox no sweat

[lunar hare]

PS players have reported some issues with the servers for a few days IIRC

[swift badge]

I was fine this morning than all of a sudden

[polar thorn]

someone is getting jinxed

[swift badge]

I was in a countdown and fell thru the ground like wtf 😂

[candid mauve]

how do i liberate the hyena control point?

[edgy fable]

Raid them / take them over

[candid mauve]

i have done 3 and the quest wont complete

[edgy fable]

Is it a manhunt scout?

If so you need to finish or abandon your open Retaliations

[candid mauve]

ok i try again

[edgy fable]

Yeah it's a another bug this season

[delicate rose]

did that mission with andrew edwards mean anything or was that just an introduction to hunters

[glad jetty]

What just happened to the division 2 servers?

[delicate rose]

deadge

[glad jetty]

Deadge?

[delicate rose]

dead

[glad jetty]

What you mean?

it’s just the word dead bro

Ohhh lol

Im in a PS party of 10 people and everyone got DC

[dark leaf]

Sorry 😅

[spring pebble]

Any word on crossplay release?

[final anchor]

Sometime this year.

[spring pebble]

Ugh it needs to hurry up, just wanna game with my boys

[edgy fable]

They need to fix a bunch of bugs first...

[spring pebble]

Anti cheat and crossplay will do the trick

[edgy fable]

Yeah no

[spring pebble]

What you mean 😆

[edgy fable]

At what point can you justify pushing out new content without taking care of the existing flaws and bugs? It turns into an Ouroboros, literally

All the work, time, money will be for nothing much gained

[spring pebble]

Im not sure what kinda ground breaking bugs you got but the game sees alright to me 💁🏼 couple things here and there but nothing that other games dont have

[edgy fable]

There are dozens of things that are in the detail

[feral knoll]

The developer will do both. Patience.

[edgy fable]

Been around too long and know better

[spring trench]

where could i get harmony rifle to drop

[edgy fable]

While this team now does a great deal of effort with new content the bugs need to be addressed. Aside from the anti-cheat and not banning part on the PvP end

[spring trench]

is it just going to be from houndsman? cause i never got one dropped from countdown

[spring pebble]

I can deal with a few bugs here and there, like I said I just want to shred with homie. He hasn't tried it yet so itll be a new experience

[feral knoll]

I've also been around long enough to know that people have unrealistic expectations. Yes the game needs work, all games do.

[edgy fable]

What's unrealistic about fixing bugs?

[final anchor]

It drops in open world no restrictions

[feral knoll]

It's natural to want to see something one enjoys be better, however it take time to achieve.

[edgy fable]

The list of things that are not working as intended is long, my friend

[feral knoll]

They already have the next update scheduled.

[spring pebble]

Cause nothings ever going to be perfect, ive yet to see a bug free game

[spring trench]

so just bad luck then?

[final anchor]

Rng doesn't favor many my friend

[spring trench]

except the guy i was watching last night pulled 3 protos in one mission

[edgy fable]

Yeah let's see how that goes

[agile gyro]

And if it does favor you, its a one off

[spring trench]

and another in that group got 2 lol

[feral knoll]

It's the desire sensor. It knows you want a specific thing so that thing will not drop. The moment you decide on something else to farm, the previous thing will magically appear.

[spring pebble]

Check and see if you have the blueprint

[spring trench]

i dont 🙁 im missing alot of named item bps

[final anchor]

Lol

[spring pebble]

Sometimes dz vendors have stuff like that

[spring trench]

i like dz funds but i might have enough if it shows up

[edgy fable]

You get named item blueprints from Reconstructed Caches, FYI

[tender wave]

most named items come from reconstructed caches farmed in descent or crafted from retaliation materials

[spring pebble]

Keep opening prof packs and hit the dz vendors up, you might get lucky

[spring trench]

yea i might burn all my descent tech on reconstructed caches

[feral knoll]

Unable.

[tender wave]

@red maple rule 4, no advertising your channels/content

[red maple]

ohhh

sorry

but for what ? people need friends for play and see about this game

thats bad ??

[feral knoll]

Don't need to advertise for that.

Lots of lfg channels and the clan one.

[tender wave]

Make friends first, tell them about your content in private. There's enough ways for people to find content if they choose to go looking for it

[red maple]

okey my bad

[zenith urchin]

does DUA count as inside downtown east or judiciary square

[feral knoll]

Mission? Where entry is.

[final anchor]

Judiciary square

[zenith urchin]

what about GWH

ok hotel works

[tender wave]

When it comes to the sniper bit, dua works as well for some reason (might only be the first task that is limited to downtown east)

[regal galleon]

Are all kill squads temporary or just the BT kill squads?

[edgy fable]

Just Team 9

[zenith urchin]

trying out elmo
i understand why people run it now

[jovial garden]

Which legacy manhunt missions should i play before brooklyn for continuity?

[zenith urchin]

theo, keener and kelso

[tender wave]

Everything up to Kelso iirc, there's a guide pinned in #ask-td2-community

[zenith urchin]

pretty sure you want kelso 1 too, its about her joining keener

[ebon parrot]

where do i find the escalating game mode whatever that shit is

[edgy fable]

Why do you wanna play it if you call it "shit" ?

[umbral dock]

@ebon parrot

[edgy fable]

#lfg-raid-console

[ebon parrot]

i dont even know what it is, just wanna test it

[edgy fable]

You can either FT to each mission that has the Escalation symbol or as someone has shown above go to the hub in the WH compound

[umbral dock]

imagine normal missions but escalated

[zenith urchin]

TINKERER BLUEPRINT LETS GO

[ebon parrot]

and this give prototype gems right?

[edgy fable]

If you are lucky you get prototype gear drops (if you deconstruct them you get one core per dismantled proto item)

Cores can be farmed via both raids and incursion, a max. of six per week per account

[ebon parrot]

ooh ok

[zenith urchin]

is scout 2 obj 3 just two named hyenas

or maybe bounties?

[hybrid ore]

The one that mentions snipers?
Hyena sniper enemies. Just keep killing Hyenas, you'll get them to spawn before long.
I recommend a quick solo Retaliation.

[zenith urchin]

ringleaders

[jagged canyon]

2 hyena bounties

[zenith urchin]

thanks

[jagged canyon]

np

[hybrid ore]

Coulda sworn it was the other way around.
oh well.

[jagged canyon]

nope snipers are objective 2

from scout 2

[hybrid ore]

Yep, logged in to confirm.

[jagged canyon]

I'm exhausted from spending the last 3 hours behind a tablet drawing an art sheet. but hey, everything to become a game artist/dev one day. I should make some division fanart

but now, some retaliations. got some descent comms to collect

I love that they added those to retal

bc it's so much more fun

[edgy fable]

I won't be listening to them until I collected them all

[hybrid ore]

Hearing 105 comms in a row may take a while.

[edgy fable]

Yeah but at least I can listen to them in order (with breaks, pretty likely)

[cloud lark]

If I have the quickstep already, can I target pistols and have a chance of obtaining another one or is it tied to the bounty only?

[edgy fable]

No

Bounty only for now

[cloud lark]

Thx

[gentle knoll]

to get equilizer do i target unit alloy or hcest rn i have it set to unit alloy and it keeps dropping a UA chest piece

[zenith urchin]

unit alloys

[edgy fable]

Always the brand

[urban spear]

''server shutdown iminent'' got booted. could hop back in. and now... i wonder if the server is down yea or no lol

[lunar hare]

if you see "Servers closing for maintenance in XX:XX:XX" then there is a scheduled maintenance, if it just says "Servers restarting in XX:XX:XX" then there's nothing to worry about just have to wait a few minutes.

[last moth]

There’s no VCs in this server??..

[lunar hare]

no

[urban spear]

yea it said restarting now it still says ''shutdown imminent'' so idk anymore what they wanna do 🤣

[zenith urchin]

to add to this, seeing this popup doesnt always mean you will get booted to the menu, and if you do, you dont always have to wait

[agile gyro]

You mean that scheduled server restarts don't mean the servers are permanently going offline? /s

Div 2 gonna get the halo 3 treatment 😢

[wild hearth]

do gearset apparel were taken down from store?

[edgy fable]

A while ago

There is no real consistency to the store, lol

[hybrid ore]

"Do gearset apparel" is a new one.

[wild hearth]

you never made a mistake once?

[edgy fable]

You would love Reddit

[hybrid ore]

I was going to make a joke and type out the message with just the wrong words, but I genuinely would have to put thought into choosing that many wrong ones.

"would were gearset store choice" is the best I got.

[wild hearth]

are they taking back and returning apparels or how does it work

[agile gyro]

In all fairness, English is my first language and I can barely speak it

[wild hearth]

we both know that if user would make fun of you he most likely be banned so maybe cut

[agile gyro]

About 40% of it is because of my speech impediment and the other 60% is because of a skill issue.

[wild hearth]

english isnt my native , its 23.20 and im worn out

[hybrid ore]

@wild hearth You clearly haven't been around here for long if you think I'm somehow immune to being made fun of.

[wild hearth]

i just know your reputation from at least few pesons so...

[hybrid ore]

Lol

Yeah saw this one coming.
We both know why you're mad at me, so just drop the topic now and it'll be over.

[sharp vector]

is there anyway to report cheaters over here in discord?

[hybrid ore]

@sharp vector #rules has a link at the top to report them officially, but we can't do anything on the Server itself.

[edgy fable]

Record clips, create a support ticket via Ubisoft homepage

[wild hearth]

they will not do anything to them anyway

[wild hearth]

im not, and i dont need your suggestions 😉

you just have bad rep, that a fact

[edgy fable]

Kurwa, relax 😄

[wild hearth]

i am relaxed

[edgy fable]

Anyway, there is no way for us to know when what comes back. They just throw apparel in front of our feet and we either buy or not

Very poor system but that's how it's been for years

[fallen jacinth]

Like a cat bringing you a bird or a rabbit

[toxic musk]

RAAAAGH, I CURSE YOU VIEWPOINT MUSEUM. GIMME A DAMN PROTO DROP

[edgy fable]

You play solo?

[wild hearth]

i got situation with that once

[toxic musk]

Depends from run to run, or how I'm feeling

[wild hearth]

my cat brought me neighbour parrot that idk how got loose 😛

[edgy fable]

Don't run solo. Play in group on T2/T3 repeatedly if you can't go higher comfortably

[wild hearth]

isnt farming lower tier more often than pushing through higher ones?

[edgy fable]

So your "cat" is probably a bear in reality, right? Since you said you have bears over there :p

Pet bears 😮

[wild hearth]

we have bears in country, i never said that i do hold bear. But yeah, kinda good idea for pet

[edgy fable]

No ty, hahahahaha

[wild hearth]

one things for sure, no more jehovas would want to talk about Jesus

[edgy fable]

LOL

You have a point there 👍

[ebon parrot]

the escalating tokens can only be used to make mission harder right?? or do they have any other use?

[toxic musk]

Just more difficult

"Difficult". More sponge-y

Anyway, I am gonna yell at the void for stealing all my drops

[hybrid ore]

There was talk during the livestream about the Tokens having another use, I expect we'll potentially see that in the 21st of April Update.

[ebon parrot]

and can i play in a group?? i noticed i cant matchmake for a escalation, i need to start the mission myself

[toxic musk]

And a few more modifiers

[toxic musk]

You should be able to matchmake from the White House

[wild hearth]

arent escalation levels lowering down player damage/ putting dmg resistance over mobs aside making them overall more spongy?

[jagged canyon]

Oh

Oh you thought they line up in order

I mean some do but not all. Definitly not all

[wild hearth]

any info when 2nd from new assignments will be available?

[dry ivy]

Anyone want to help me

[wild hearth]

with?

[ebon parrot]

and then i can get purple loot on this escalation right

[hybrid ore]

Prototype Loot only drops in Escalation, yeah.

[dry ivy]

To farm good gear and exp

[hybrid ore]

You can see what each Tier of Escalation does when you hover over it, each tier adds more Enemy Damage/Armour/Health, and a new Modifier.

[stable sorrel]

You don't need to be doing any escalations until your Expertise cap is lv30, and you have some max-upgraded gears

[flat forge]

its always chill to start stacking up on resources. if you can handle it why not do it

[hybrid ore]

Tier 0 Escalation is just base Heroic, with no Modifiers.
So why not give it a go.

[ebon parrot]

i did that now because i had 0 token

[wild hearth]

is each tier +100% of mob dps?

[flat forge]

no

scaling can be seen in boo escal menu and missions

[olive nova]

2 exotic in less than 10 minutes, im getting shit luck for the next few weeks 🤣

i can feel it in the air

[sullen viper]

Escalation is so stupid, people who just wanna run heroic get put into escalation

[hybrid ore]

I mainly blame people who Matchmake for Tier 0, then crank it up to Tier 4 and auto-start.

[flat forge]

best way to prevent this is just be the host

[upbeat void]

Just got delta 3 during a solo escalation...

Can't even log back in now lol

[wild hearth]

i got to admit, today ive seen new kind of lag, my main menu got lagged up and didnt wanna show

thats pure Ubisoft ❤️

[upbeat void]

Now I got an error saying my game save is temp unavailale. Lovely ❤️

[wild hearth]

how to get The Railsplitter? Ive never seen it anywhere

[small spear]

named cache, dz or blueprint

[agile gyro]

Well I just met my first conflict cheaters lol

[edgy fable]

Won't be your last time either

[agile gyro]

Yeah unfort, they are blatantly shooting through walls and whatnot at points lol

[edgy fable]

Hope you recorded video clips and reported them, cuz, you know, they might get banned one day

[agile gyro]

Yeah long after support stops for div 2 💀

[edgy fable]

A new PvP team is being assembled for div2, we've been getting updates over time.

[worldly onyx]

Hello, is the weapon Harmony farmable in Countdown?

[elder leaf]

Any1 having trouble logging in to unbisoft connect/site?

[hybrid ore]

@worldly onyx Harmony is DZ locked, so nope!

[edgy fable]

No, it's a DZ item. Named item caches, Houndsman bounty or blueprint from Reconstructed Caches

[worldly onyx]

Sad. I've been farming it whole night, Hahaha. What's the closest weapon I can farm that has the same effect as Harmony then?

[edgy fable]

There's an assault rifle with Perfect In Sync

Named PDR, forgot the name

[worldly onyx]

Cool. Thank you very much.

[gray flame]

Test subject

[edgy fable]

Yes, ty

[worldly onyx]

I thought I was just unlucky

[hybrid ore]

If you ever want to check, the spreadsheet over in #td2-build-advice > 📌 > "spreadsheet 2", it has a list of where each item drops, either "DZ" or "LZ".

[worldly onyx]

That would be helpful. Thank you!

[prisma notch]

Is PS5 pro needed to optimize my division 2 experience or is PS5 normal just the same?

[gray flame]

PS5 pro is useless entirely for anything

[prisma notch]

Cause PS5 pro not in stores by me only special order but they have regular PS5

[lime mist]

a normal ps5 is fine, i play on an old ps4 and my experience is great

[gray flame]

PS5 pro is completely useless lol

[prisma notch]

On ps4 I run into invisible walls and my quickstep goes from sprint to walk sometimes when loading screens

[quick plaza]

question, can heartbreaker finally refresh its armor at max stacks yet or nah?

[lime mist]

ps4 vs ps5 performance is literally night and day

[kind veldt]

no

[elder leaf]

PC better

[hybrid ore]

Not everyone can have a PC.

[lime mist]

cool, but we aren't talking about a PC in this context, only you

[elder leaf]

Yall have no chill...

[polar thorn]

I think you're one of people who does VIP in heroic.

[jovial garden]

Can I not replay thru the entirety of a legacy manhunt? I wanted to do the stovepipe manhunt again because i saw videos of retaking the white house and found it cool but nothing happened after the accursed dog sparkles finally died, just straight back to BoO

[edgy fable]

It's always the climax mission

[jovial garden]

Kind of a bummer if thats the case, i wanted to follow along the lore

also the lewis manhunt said it should give me the bluescreen blueprint but it never did, did they change it so only retal gives it to me?

[elder leaf]

Im the one that never touches VIP in heroic xD Who tf goes vip in heroic xD

[jovial garden]

I'd rather be in a lobby of people doing that rather than a lobby with people ignoring hunters during extract

[kind veldt]

gives recal blueprint

[jovial garden]

Oh its recalibration, thought i could print out bluescreens afterwards

[kind veldt]

those kind of blueprint didnt exist back then

[elder leaf]

xDDDD

[jovial garden]

Oh well. Didnt read the fineprint

[errant ember]

server down?

oh nvm.

[agile gyro]

Please tell me how to avoid these lobbies with ppl ignoring hunters, I get them like 50% of the time 😭🙏

[gray flame]

anyone who ignores hunters in countdown is a red flag

[polar thorn]

Good.
Dev should let us go to rogue mode so I can beam my own teammates every time they're going for VIP mission.

[elder leaf]

Kinda extreme, but i feel you. Annoying af

Best place to drop overdog gloves?

[polar thorn]

retaliation hyena, set to gloves drop.

Or exotic cache but low chance.

[fierce cedar]

Does it have to be Hyena?

[hybrid ore]

@fierce cedar Each Faction in Retaliation has its own blueprint pool.
You can check the "exotics" section of your Crafting Table to see who has which one.

[magic atlas]

To be honest I just sat out of range and shot my teammates with the healing sticky launcher

[fierce cedar]

I see, thank you

[remote spade]

What's the best attribute to get on an LMG?

[hybrid ore]

@remote spade CHC (crit chance).

[remote spade]

Surprisingly I don't have a max roll for that, is DTA a good enough roll though?

[jovial garden]

Which of the rifles are the most consistent with stability and accuracy? I've just been running the sig 716 and wanted to know if there are better options magazine wise

[hybrid ore]

DtA is alright, but CHC is what you really want in the end.

[remote spade]

Actually lemme rephrase

I don't have a CHC replacement

[hybrid ore]

Sorry, what is a "chc replacement"?

[jovial garden]

U dont have the attrib in ur lib yet?

if u have any crafting recipes for lmgs just spam craft them til u get a high chc attrib u can eat up for lib, unless ur using an exotic lmg where in that case just try and reconfigure it if its the exotic u'll commit to

[remote spade]

Actually so true, I think I was so focused on max expertise 4 them that I just ignored if they had good rolls

[steady vault]

Can someone tell me how to get the Yellow Triangle skill point for Quartermaster?

[hybrid ore]

@gloomy kernel You're looking for #lfg-playstation, GL Agent

[timid summit]

Investor vs Dogs ? Please give an opinion, I had 3 red 1 blue investor and tried getting 4, still trying :/ and getting kinda annoying by now

[gloomy kernel]

Thanks

[boreal prism]

Anyone having crazy server issues on ps?

[wild hearth]

is reviver not allowed in Descent?

[hoary glade]

Is investor a good exotic

[fierce cedar]

Is there a way to Matchmake specific Retaliations? Or is it just random

[edgy fable]

Random

[agile gyro]

Pretty sure it is if you get the proper rolls on it

[wild hearth]

what is room difficulty changing in Descent? aside of room clearing difficulty most obviouslty

[polar thorn]

deconstruct it

[agile gyro]

Real, this is just saving your sanity in the long run since getting those proper rolls is genuinely painful.

[wild hearth]

blue Investor is giving u 3% armor regen

[lunar hare]

it's niche

[polar thorn]

eh, you can just reconfigure it until you get noice stats

[wild hearth]

100 exo elements later

[agile gyro]

Bros got the secret mat farming glitch

[polar thorn]

I did that to my overdogs, holy smokey it's looking nice

[agile gyro]

slide me the information chief, I need it. My crap is using 34-40 field data because of the crap im doing to it and since im changing talents.

I'm being gatekept. smh

[polar thorn]

I uh

idk I got that so much, I have like 500 of them

oh yeah, I never bother to change talents ( my bad, gang )

because I use tipping scales with Bluescreen and any random 2nd weapons

[agile gyro]

Doesnt help that this game refused to give me a high rolled FAL so I had to upgrade it like 20 times to get max stats.

[wild hearth]

are tinkerer builds worth it?

[wild hearth]

FAL is dope

[dusk rune]

Good evening, which method is best for getting Dark Winter, dark zone or retaliation?

[agile gyro]

Dope but selective

got like 40 of them, and all of them were crap or had bad attribute rolls.

[wild hearth]

wdym selective

[agile gyro]

Or just refusing to give me the right talent so I could recalib smth else

[wild hearth]

i got FAL para dropped godrolled for HS

[agile gyro]

Dark zone probably.

[wild hearth]

i would say retal or vendor

[polar thorn]

how do we get field search again? like from shd level or wut

[agile gyro]

I've never dropped a dark winter from retal, but I've gotten like 2 from dark zone in the past like 2 das.

[agile gyro]

You can get SHD levels and get 6 materials per scavenging point, or by completing control points/land marks

I'm doing landmarks since its relatively faster and I need to lvl up DZ stuff anyway.

[polar thorn]

oh..

I did like..50 CPs with my friend so that's why-

[agile gyro]

I can't say what I wanna say.

[dusk rune]

Dang, I’m not much of a PVP player, oh well, I’ll try it out. Thanks. 🙏🏽

[wild hearth]

sorry not Retal, Countdown it is

[agile gyro]

Honestly since your PS4/5, your not gonna run into anyone in the DZ 💀

[polar thorn]

Find me one perfect roll of tipping scale kneepads, you can take like half of my field research

[agile gyro]

PS servers are dead from my understanding

[agile gyro]

sh- deal

give me about 5 business days

[polar thorn]

also, I just realized that running Tipping Scale
You don't need chd mods, 60% chc and you can throw to headshot damage.

[polar thorn]

I might be gone for another 5 days then

[dusk rune]

It’s more active on Xbox and PC?

[agile gyro]

yes

[polar thorn]

From max stack, I will have 300% chd in total

[lunar hare]

1. PC
2. PS
3. Xbox
   there's more people on PS than xbox

[polar thorn]

but crossplay is coming soon, hopefully server won't get overloaded

[tardy marsh]

are the servers down? I cannot get into the game...

[vapid fable]

^^^ i cant even get into ubisoft

[tardy marsh]

sweet

[hoary glade]

Are all spawn points fixed in this game? Like lets say imma do mission and control point will they spawn the same way they do when i first cleared them

[edgy fable]

They recently started randomizing spawns; for most content

[kind veldt]

missions, kinda

open world there are a bunch

[edgy fable]

There was always RNG involved but I think they did it to missions and stronholds mostly

[hoary glade]

Control points?

[kind veldt]

it's the open world map

there are plenty of points

[edgy fable]

Ya

[polar thorn]

oh yeah, we're getting overdrive event.

does it count as global event-

where you can turn it on and off-

[undone timber]

so far no

overdrive events are always on for their duration

[lunar hare]

Overdrive events suck

[edgy fable]

I don't understand why they don't make them optional

Personally I play them but I see many players complain

[lunar hare]

Overdrive events just open doors for YTbers to make trash builds and say they "shred"

[strange peak]

How are bounties "saved"?

[edgy fable]

They're stored in your bounties tab

[kind veldt]

whne you collect them but dont do it

[lunar hare]

you abandon/abort them and that's how you keep them in your Bounties tab in the Map

[polar thorn]

imma go rogue.

[strange peak]

Ah, can you stack them?

[lunar hare]

yeah but there's a limit IIRC

[strange peak]

Thank you

[edgy fable]

64 or so

[lunar hare]

a minecraft stack

[edgy fable]

Also they can get overwritten apparently

The stored ones

[faint geyser]

anyone else cant login to ubi connect? its saying youre offline even tho y oure not?

[edgy fable]

I'm good, just logged in

[limpid hatch]

Are the servers down

[edgy fable]

What region are you guys logging in from?

[kind veldt]

what region are you on?

[limpid hatch]

NW

[wispy pike]

I just got UNIFORM-01 I’m Eastern

[ocean pier]

NA east can't connet to the app

[edgy fable]

I'm US West. no issue

[fervent pine]

NA east cant get servers

[kind veldt]

seems like a regional issue then

[valid sable]

Whew got scared for a second there, glad is a widespread problem

[faint geyser]

asia here, cant login

[lunar hare]

I was crazy once

[kind veldt]

oh god no

[valid sable]

So you guys like the division 2 video game?

[kind veldt]

i really hope it was not a refference to something i thought about

[lunar hare]

i like the meth people made for it

[weak edge]

Cant log in. MNT time

[edgy fable]

I'd like it better with bug fixes and prototype adjustments 😬

[kind veldt]

working fine in south america

[lunar hare]

who knows?

[valid sable]

We are BACK

[rotund folio]

Yo cult we are so back also ur ma on crack

[fervent pine]

we are so back

[rotund folio]

Bro we gotta tell the fent wizard

[valid sable]

Back to the prototype mines it is

[edgy fable]

No supervisor to force you, if you go it's voluntary 😛

[rotund folio]

Gamers we might not be back

[edgy fable]

Super laggy

1-2s delay for me

[polar thorn]

Welp, back to sleeping.

Hunter having new ability, teleportation I don't see any network error/slow notifications

[edgy fable]

60ms as per connection info but super laggy

[toxic musk]

Rats, rats, we're the rats, we prey at night, we stalk at night, we're the rats

Anyway, the real reason I'm here. The truly tough decision of sticking with Equalizer or switching to Tipping Scales chest. Both absolutely hit, but ehhh. I am on the fence for having to stack to 75

[lunar hare]

Equalizer is better, Obliterate lasts longer than TS stacks

[toxic musk]

Hmm, true. Plus my Equalizer is Proto'd with Echo

[late crescent]

Meanwhile waiting another day to get optimization on proto gear :c

[toxic musk]

Optimization for Proto gear would be so peak. But you know it'd cost Proto cores. WHICH DON'T DROP EVER

That or Exotic components. Which I wouldn't mind, actually

[late crescent]

They said they will add it when? Who knows

Also it's confirmed they will increase again proto drop rate

[toxic musk]

I hope during this season

Should I go to the Bunker™ again...

Or work on my fashion, hmmm. I think I'm going to work on my fashion

[late crescent]

Director tweet said on T10 will be 100% for example

Question is again...when? Cause im not sure it will be on 21th

[faint geyser]

so if the drop rate is 1%, its now 2%.. yay

[late crescent]

Dunno if it will be 2% or totally 100%

[idle ice]

Doubt that

[toxic musk]

I'd imagine a guarantee for completion, personally

[late crescent]

But im sure more for 2% seeing how it works xD

[idle ice]

Maybe months down the road when no one is touching that game mode, they do that to bring players back.

[toxic musk]

A crying shame

[umbral dock]

here’s what should happen

change prototype cores so they can be donated for 100% proficiency in something

lets you grind out expertise quickly until you can actually make good prototypes

[toxic musk]

Let me spend my Escalation coins for Proto cores

[late crescent]

Dunno the only thing i want is optimization

[toxic musk]

Optimizing not being at release was a decision

[polar thorn]

As tipping scale enjoyer, equalizer is much better option.

[late crescent]

Wasnt planned

[idle ice]

Since if a gear is not terminal, you would need optimization for it. Imagine again all the mats required for that since the attaributes are at their lowest.

[late crescent]

Yep but welp better that than pray for RNG

[lunar hare]

Sacrifices must be made.

||please catch it||

[idle ice]

True. Could be useful if they released that + targetted loot. Would have more players playing the mode

[polar thorn]

I'm too young, Riven might catch that-

sorry pal

[lunar hare]

NOOOOOOOO

I love The Sacrifice on my every build

[late crescent]

You're a sado guy

[lunar hare]

a what lol

[toxic musk]

I like Sacrifice on Pestilence, but here.....nah

[late crescent]

cof cof Nothing

[lunar hare]

I googled it, yes. I like being a glass cannon 🥴

[late crescent]

Welp as i said the question will be now...WHEN xD since now is confirmed cause im not sure it will be on 21th

[polar thorn]

my brain is still foggy after working nightshift for 3 days

disclaimer : I haven't worked nightshift for years

[toxic musk]

Unrelated. I chuckle that putting on Theo's or Countdown's mask pulls Amaru's bandana forward

[late crescent]

Also im waiting too for lex drops- i hope it will be on spring event-

[toxic musk]

It will absolutely be in the end of season event

[polar thorn]

Also, is it possible to get 60 chc/100 chd without weapon mods and gear?

[mighty creek]

Yeh

[late crescent]

Yeh kinda hard

[polar thorn]

so max shd for chc and chd

[mighty creek]

Alejandro and Sheriff doesnt have mods btw.

[polar thorn]

wait im dumb, I mean like with only gearset mods-

Not the 4pcs set

[late crescent]

Ah then no-

[polar thorn]

where tipping scales can give up to 200%

[toxic musk]

Al is so goated it doesn't need 'em

[mighty creek]

its an LMG so you can set the sub attribute to CHC

[polar thorn]

Man, I need to get back for Alenjandro Bluescreen been carrying me too much

[late crescent]

Alejandro is pure dmg just use striker and brrrrrr

[polar thorn]

rn, I'm sitting at 60/70 ( my SHD chd doesn't have any points yet )

[toxic musk]

I'm more of a Tipping Scales kinda guy, but I can understand why you'd use Striker

[polar thorn]

so I believe 60/90 would be perfect ratio then?

[toxic musk]

Currently I'm rocking a 58.4 and 105, crit chance and damage

[late crescent]

Critical chance on max SHD is 10% and critical dmg is 75%

Whit a normal striker build going 50-55% chance and 120% dmg all good

[toxic musk]

It's been so long I've genuinely forgotten what Striker does beyond more damage

[mighty creek]

I might be wrong but, between Strikers and Tipping Scales, I feel like you should balance them out in terms of their respective buffs. Strikers gives weapon damage, thats why I think your weapon talent should give crit damage like Strained or Killer. Tipping Scales gives crit damage, thats why I think your weapon talent should give weapon damage like Alejandro.

[toxic musk]

Ah, fire rate and handling

[mighty creek]

Not sure if its a good idea or not

[toxic musk]

My child will use 3 piece TS and 3 piece strikers and make everyone mad

[polar thorn]

wait, 75% chd from shd?

[late crescent]

Ye like headshot damage

[polar thorn]

or you mean like total chd

[late crescent]

No-

[polar thorn]

ok I really need to wash my face

[late crescent]

When you're level 1000 you're critical damage base is 75%

[polar thorn]

without gear mods, weapon?

[late crescent]

Yep

[polar thorn]

💀 ok..I might have something in my mind.

[late crescent]

And chance 10%

Most of shd gives you 10% bonus

Except headshot dmg and critical dmg

If i remember

[polar thorn]

currently sitting at SHD 225, so my main goal is getting SHD 1000 then

[late crescent]

Ye focus on expertise too

Sometimes is a bonus to armor and dmg

[polar thorn]

I mean, I would love to get expertise 30 but holy hell. The exp gain without event is TORTURE.

[late crescent]

Give it time im 28 xD and i'm 2608 xD

[toxic musk]

I sacrificed oh so much during the 3× event, so thankfully I'm 30

[polar thorn]

currently exp 16 and shd 225 could get exp 20 if I weren't out for nightshift

[toxic musk]

Hire a secondary person to play at your PC while you're gone. Payment is optional

Unrelated. Do you have siblings you could twist the arm of?

[polar thorn]

Their only payment option is freedom.

[late crescent]

Me i would do it for a good costume (? Im joking

[toxic musk]

Get this person one of those dinosaur costumes

That or the almighty Left Shark

[polar thorn]

I was about to offer Barney suit

[late crescent]

I get a dinasaour costume and i will do countdown every moment running whit him

Whit the cat backpack

[toxic musk]

Y'know. I'm sad that ANNA doesn't have a speaker setting

I'd unironically use Iron Lung FAR more if I could torment the locals by playing Fireball

[polar thorn]

Oh yeah, imma go buy that

as cat lover, not getting that backpack would be a disgrace.

[toxic musk]

I reiterate. You're taking someone else's pet into an ACTIVE WARZONE

[polar thorn]

I could use my neighbor as replacement.

[toxic musk]

Where chemical weapons are being used

[toxic musk]

This is an option

[late crescent]

i dont have it either

[feral mural]

Saying this like the cat isn't perfectly capable of throwing hands

[toxic musk]

Heh. I've had it since it's dropped

Yes. "It's dropped" Fantastic work me, I need a coffee

[toxic musk]

If it was our cat, I'd understand. But I believe it's The Manager's cat

[grave jetty]

can you get stack broker and lexington from reconstructed caches?

[late crescent]

No i think

[timid summit]

Stack yeah, lexi not sure

[undone timber]

as far as im aware, stack broker, turmoil, caretaker and lexington will only drop during special events

if people have proof otherwise theyre free to prove me wrong

[timid summit]

They are right, it was some other bp lol

Tho I think caretaker is given for getting 15 level of shepherding at the end of the season

[kind veldt]

Caretaker was shepard event

[late crescent]

Missed whit rock n' roll

But lexi blueprint exist but u can't get it

[hoary dagger]

Anybody know how get automated defense parts ? To craft the exotic weapons

[hybrid ore]

@hoary dagger They have to be Crafted.

[late crescent]

As far i know crafting

[hoary dagger]

Ok how you craft it

[late crescent]

On the workbrench exotic part

[hybrid ore]

Crafting Table > Exotic > Automated Défense Parts.
You'll need to run Retal a bunch first.

[late crescent]

kinda funny to craft a weapon you need ashes, medicines

XD

[frigid obsidian]

What I get confused of is that sometimes on the stat of the armor it shows it has less armor and dmg than what I have equipped yet the stats go up and is green

[hoary dagger]

I got eagle bearer crafted I got it !!

[hybrid ore]

Not enough tubes in div2, I agree.

[hoary dagger]

I had the blueprint

[hybrid ore]

@dull obsidian You can find a hand down in #lfg-xbox, GL Agent

[timid summit]

Also you get them from BT retals

[hoary dagger]

I crafted over dogs

As well

[jovial garden]

Y'all which of the regular old high end rifles (excluding the 1886) would be the police m4 equivalent of rifles in terms of performance?

[lunar hare]

UIC15 something something

[jovial garden]

Is it something i need to target loot farm or does it have a blueprint

[lunar hare]

I think it has a blueprint but it's a regular weapon

[jovial garden]

Ye, just excluding named/exotics. Wanted to try making a breaking point build

[toxic musk]

Punching every enemy I kill in Escalation because they didn't give me a Proto

At some point I'm just gonna start dragging bodies out for a summoning ritual

[jovial garden]

How good is the ravenous as an exotic rifle btw?

[toxic musk]

Anyway. Yeah, Equalizer is the play. And doing negative damage in the stat screen is hilarious

[lunar hare]

it's not used as a main weapon but something used against armor plates

[jovial garden]

So more like an offensive supportive weapon?

[toxic musk]

Doesn't it go boom when you swap shoulders?

[fluid meadow]

Thing is when your damage is high enough the boom comes too late or they die before you fully stack it

[jovial garden]

Is there an exotic rifle that can be used as a main weapon then? The merciless sucked ass when i tried using it

[lunar hare]

kaboom? yes Riko, kaboom.

[toxic musk]

Hmm. I'm genuinely trying to think if there's a genuinely good Exotic rifle

Bittersweet, maybe? But I believe you gotta be a healer build to get the most out of it. And shooting your teammates? I think, is part of its gimmick

[jovial garden]

Doctor Home felt like a healer's weapon that's way too lacking

[toxic musk]

Doctor Home is barely even a weapon tbh

[jovial garden]

House M.D.

[toxic musk]

It's legendary counterpart has more use cases

[toxic musk]

Doctor Home will NEVER be Him

[lunar hare]

except Dr. Home isn't always right

[undone timber]

It is very good situationally

[toxic musk]

It probably also doesn't need a cane

[jovial garden]

I wanted to try a BP build for rifles, seems most of the exotic rifles are more support weapons than dps

[toxic musk]

When in doubt. Determined 1886

Become that lore accurate Cowboy

[jovial garden]

Yeah but i dont see how it would be great with the 4 piece of BP, sounds fun running it with HHF tho

[kind veldt]

breaking point is very bad

it's trying to be striker for the wrong weapon type

the bonus duration is short

it gives basic weapon damage and not total

handling bonus feels very minor

and takes a while to build stacks that might just have the thing dead by the time you finish

[shrewd cosmos]

Is there anyway I can reach out to Ubisoft for help on a bug? I rerolled an augment for 2 prototypes cores and it didn't change it even when I relogged.

[kind veldt]

so technically you want a low damage high rof rifle that you need to dump an entire magazine to get a bonus that is very short lived and if you shot someone that muc hthey are pretty much dead already

anyhow if you need to contact for help there is a link for support on #rules ,if you wish to report a bug we now have a new tool for that on #news-and-announcements

[polar thorn]

I wanna rob someone's striker set

[edgy fable]

Go DZ if you wanna rob anything

[obsidian atlas]

first of all too much of a hassle, second of all, just do retaliations

a nice set of striker shouldn't take too long

[stable sorrel]

are we, the public/players, certain that the current augment is barred from the Random-reroll pool?

[toxic musk]

When it rains, it pours. Got 2 Proto drops in like 5 kills

Unrelated but minutes before, I caved and brought the new Hunter outfit

I am not attributing the double drop to that. But I totally am

[foggy patio]

Anyone on ps5 have bloody hound bounty for the quickstep pistol

[obtuse hornet]

Servers down for anyone?

Ok nvm lol

[drowsy pewter]

dAAAMnit dude mid-optimization i realied i ran out of not only optimization materials, i ran out of receiver components

i ran out of a very damn common material you get by dismantling weapons

[short axle]

Is there a complete list of exotics somewhere

Just came back to the game since tinkerer was the newest item and wanted to see what's new since then

[toxic musk]

From memory, Shroud, Overdogs, Tempest, Blacklisters, Bittersweet, Beacon, Sheriff.....I have forgotten a bunch of them. I also don't have a list, sorry

Seems like it

[flint glacier]

Down for me too

[worldly marsh]

i wouldnt suppose yall would know if i were to do the houndsman bounty i could still get the outfit?

[lunar hare]

no, the outfit is only obtainable in the store if it comes out

[worldly marsh]

dang, even tho that was how you were supposed to have gotten it before?

[edgy fable]

From the Bloody Houndsman you can get the mask, backpack and gloves

The suit came form an event pass

[worldly marsh]

ohhhhh

[edgy fable]

The OG Houndsman outfit was made a bundle and can be bought from the store whenever it may return or not

anyone else getting this error?

Getting error uniform. But yes. Servers seem to be down. In US at least.

[icy thunder]

Asia is slso down. Uniform-01

[cursive pecan]

Was about to ask as well 😭

[pallid vapor]

Europe down too

[burnt sonnet]

ok thanks... suppose ill have to do some work then ^^

[pallid vapor]

Uniform-01

[drowsy pewter]

I can play just fine
must be just a minor server issue

[stuck hamlet]

Thank you

[cursive pecan]

What platform you on?

It’s back up

[flint glacier]

Yep. Seems to be back. Thx!

[wet tree]

is there any way around the aaron keener not fighting you after dying bug in WONY or do i just have to do that fight without dying

[toxic musk]

I still wonder how The Houndsman saw ANYTHING. between the mask not having eyeholes and the hood, man just operated on vibes

[trim fog]

He won't always bug out but I think you want to wait for him to get well away from the room he spawns from. Otherwise it's a redo of the whole mission

[wet tree]

so try not to die near the shack/bait him away from it in general?

[trim fog]

Yeah I usually back up to the ridge where you walk in wait for him to walk out abit. Then just be wary of skills near you. It's annoying as running to his spawn and just deleting him was the better strat but no use if you die due to risking the bug

[toxic musk]

Can't believe Emeline Shaw is handing out useful advice after being killed by us at Manning. Good for her

[woeful solstice]

is the new event started yet ?

[toxic musk]

Not for another hour and 7 minutes

[woeful solstice]

btw brother is there any neg on that i mean we are getting extra damage and all not enemy right

[toxic musk]

I believe it's just us benefitting

[analog pebble]

diision 2

[polar thorn]

Hopefully no more maintenance-

[zenith urchin]

resurgence is also down so it might be a ubisoft issue

[polar thorn]

does the game itself have anything to reward for original game

like any outfit, weapons or idk

[zenith urchin]

yeah but they suck lol

[feral knoll]

the buff in damage probably makes legendary farming in summit a bit more pleasant.

[toxic musk]

Might get me to bash my head against Escalation some more tbh

But, I've peaked with the double drop. It's all downhill now

[feral knoll]

yeah, escals and retals will be a bit of fun with the damage amp.

[polar thorn]

damn

[gloomy kernel]

Man i love when the game picks the WORST ducking maps for retaliation, i love having to run 700 meters just to get to the last point.

Good ol red dragon shenanigans.

[feral knoll]

only 700? lol.

[gloomy kernel]

Downtown east retaliation

[worn token]

The main issue is remembering the waypoints don't work and nearly always bring you the wrong way

[feral knoll]

East mall is brutal; 4 CPs and they span the entire length.

[gloomy kernel]

At least i got the eagle bearer from the elite kill squad so...

[feral knoll]

nice, I also picked up the blueprint yesterday; very pleasant surprise for sure.

[gloomy kernel]

Solo heroic downtown east = cbt

[feral knoll]

ANNA has me doing elite patrols. again.

[drowsy pewter]

I kinda agree but when i want that extra loot i just end up toggling walk and just slowly make my way to the next checkpoint, and get attacked by kill squads

[zenith urchin]

and safehouse in the middle so you need to run back half the length regardless of which side you pick first

[gloomy kernel]

Yeah, at this point i don't even care about the exotic catches i just want the blueprints i'm missing

[feral knoll]

that's the one; basically have no choice but to leg it to the far end, then work back.

[gloomy kernel]

I really want to see the devs playing Retaliation, let them suffer too.

[feral knoll]

Nah, retals are great, I thoroughly enjoy. I have no problem with the game making me think a tiny bit about sequencing.

[gloomy kernel]

Still, black tusk is the one that really gets me angry.

The other factions are easy as hell.

[feral knoll]

I dragged 3 other people into heroic BTSU retal with 4 global directives active and it was an absolute blast.

[worn token]

Retals aren't that bad, escalations on another hand are a massive grind fest

I haven't had a single usable striker piece drop

I feel the only way to get usable gear is to prototype it manually, and that turns it into like a 2% chance of it being useful

[gloomy kernel]

Don't get me wrong, nothing beats speedrunning control points and beating the odds.

But some sections of the map DO need a rework, or to be rare on that mode because holy hell, i'll take 4 control points over downtown east.

[feral knoll]

Oh I'd be happy for improvements, but they are designed to be a bit of a challenge, so I am glad they are there. We get access to pretty good loot and rewards.

[gloomy kernel]

Ehhh i guess 3 exotic catches are worth the headache, as long as it isn't black tusk.

[worn token]

I'm maxed on exotic comps due to escalation so eh

[gloomy kernel]

Good thing i'm only missing the pestilence blueprint now, no more BT for me

[brazen nest]

Anyone having problems with the game rn?

[feral knoll]

nope

[pallid cypress]

gps taking me out of the map without me realizing then getting teleported to the safe house

[stuck hamlet]

The kill squad snipers running out of the retaliation zone is also an issue that should be fixed xd

[feral knoll]

you can agro then retreat and they will reposition to regain line of site. But yes, the NPCs having a bounding area that they can't navigate to near the perimeter would be good. Reckon there is a good chance for at least some fixes in the upcoming update.

[normal kraken]

Are there any mods in here that are aware whether the devs are working on Gear Sets not dropping as Prototype, and whether or not it will be fixed for 21st April? Not sure how much (if any) contact the mods in here have with the devs

[feral knoll]

me: can I have an elite patrol please?
game: absolutely not.

lol.

[woeful solstice]

event is here or not ?

[feral knoll]

event is active, yessir/ ma'am.

oh geez, yes it is very active.

[inland parcel]

how can i show dmg number like in a list of row at the right side instead of at the top of enemy

[tropic sentinel]

Check settings.

[lunar hare]

its in your settings in HUD IIRC

[silver eagle]

what do I need to do to get a reconfigure blueprint? I own Pakhan exotic but Inaya does not sell the reconfigure blueprint

[winged ivy]

Hey idk if anybody can help me i want the pistol from the event anybody here still have the "Houndsman Bounty" ?

[lunar hare]

it doesnt have one, its one of those bugged exotics that still havent been fixed

[silver eagle]

ah ok thanks

[inland parcel]

emm i still cant find it sorry

UI -> customize HUD right?

[fierce cedar]

It's under UI

"Scrolling Combat Text" Change it to "floating"

[fierce cedar]

^

[inland parcel]

oho thankthank

[fierce cedar]

[outer pecan]

What event?

Sorry I've not played for a little

[fierce cedar]

Deadeye Overdrive, Just a Damage modifier i believe

[outer pecan]

Ahhh okay

[feral knoll]

+60% headshot damage, +30% weapon damage, +40% accuracy,, +40% stability, +40% weakpoint damage; runs for 4 days.

[outer pecan]

Is it true there is gonna be some type of spring event too?

[feral knoll]

no sure; we probably won't know until the next update drops, as that'll list the next lot of events.

[tender wave]

We have no special contact with the devs or insight into what they're working on. The bug reporter would be your best bet to see if this has been mentioned already.
They did say something about adding target loot to proto drops so that may resolve the issue

[vagrant sigil]

Real talk: I have (probably) hundreds or thousands of unopened apparel caches. I have.. everything.. I think. I just stopped opening them.

However I want to get rid of the damn exclamations once and for all -- if I setup a keyboard macro for this, will I get flagged & banned?

[normal kraken]

I reported it via the bug reporter 9 days ago and it’s still pending review. However I did manage to speak with one of the devs directly via X last week, who said they’d take a look at it so I know they’re aware at least however nothing further with regards to a fix. Thanks

[tropic sentinel]

Unlikely. At least I've been doing it for years. Btw, make sure you use mouse click with coordinates instead of keys, or you will end up deleting your characters if game randomly kicks you out to main menu.

[vagrant sigil]

lol, damn you're right - that woudl suck so bad. It uses the same key for delete character (X), doesn't it?

[tropic sentinel]

It's space I think.

[vagrant sigil]

I'll have to look into it, mouse coordinate macro would be a bit of a nuisance -- but I probably have 1,000+ caches.

[tropic sentinel]

Well you only need to avoid those keys that delete. I think it might actually be x and then space for confirmation or so. Simply screenshot screen to paint and you can see coordinates easily.

[vagrant sigil]

I think its just, Press X then Hold X to confirm delete.

[hollow wolf]

iKia has a macro for this that you can download, I can send it in dm if you want

[vagrant sigil]

Sure

[hollow hill]

As of currently, list of bugged exotics seem to be:

• Pakhan
• Overdogs
• Shroud

I wouldn't be surprised if there's more

[tropic sentinel]

Vindicator also should count (despite them insisting that it's iNtEnDed).

[mighty creek]

Bugged as in?

[zenith urchin]

they fixed shroud and overdogs since y8s1 release

[zenith urchin]

cant buy reconfig bps

[mighty creek]

oh

[warm bronze]

Revivier hives not triggering on a down is a thing now?

[hollow hill]

Yeah, it can happen and bug out

[warm bronze]

happened twice in 5 mins now , grrr

[hollow hill]

Are you possibly using the skill cooldown modifier?

If I were to guess, might be something with that

[warm bronze]

Amp, Split and Convert 2

[hollow hill]

I'm not 100% sure then. I would say for safe measure do a full game restart

[warm bronze]

Its not the first time its happened which leads me to believe its a bug thats crept in somehow. c'est la vie, dont die is prolly best strategy LOL

[hollow hill]

Yeah I've had it happen loads of times myself. I can't say it's happened to me recently

There is also a chance the servers in your region might be struggling or you're having dropped packets or something. Could also be why that hive never dropped for you

There's too many bugs to keep track of that we just don't know anymore 😂

[tender wave]

It does just bug out sometimes, but there are other causes like forgetting you have the cool skills directive active then using your other skill, or getting shocked/emped from somewhere

[warm bronze]

When doing a tiered mission, it appears to hide the Directives?

[feral knoll]

the revive hive is not a guaranteed deployment because it has some requirements; BTSU emp fields can stop it (including their grenades) for example, and there needs to be some room for it to deploy (walls and obstructions can block the available deploy area). Whilst bugs exist, don't discount that the requirements just weren't meant for it to deploy.

[warm bronze]

Indeed, I am aware of conditions but none were met.
So either of two possibilities ...

1. bugged
2. Directives are being hidden by Escalation

[feral knoll]

the only directive that could block hive would be some sort of status affect that blocked deploy.

[warm bronze]

and skills cooldown

[feral knoll]

that's a requirement; it will not deploy if on cooldown, I mean I know you know that but still. The only directive that could affect cooldown would be 'Cool Skills' and that absolutely falls into a requirement ; do you mean modifiers?

[inland parcel]

what is overdog bug?

[mighty creek]

exotic gloves

the one with bone pattern

[sage thicket]

The so called Goth Gloves.

[real musk]

got 5 proto drops in a run 👌 t9

[inland parcel]

but what is the bug

[mighty creek]

blueprint not available at Inaya

so you cant reconfigure it

[jagged shell]

Trying to get an all red investor mask is going to cut a few years off my life

[hoary glade]

Does armor also affect drone HP

[hoary glade]

Already spent 50 components trying to get a full yellow

I don't even know if its worth it

[jagged shell]

The same way shields do? No. Its skill tiers

I think all red would be worth it as a replacement for my Coyotes when someone else runs it

[urban spear]

new event gives damage up on everything 💀

[feral knoll]

no. skills are only affected by specific gear traits (eg skill haste).

[feral knoll]

control points are a good time now.

[civic ridge]

I presume past manhunt master difficulty would be excluded?

[feral knoll]

from what?

[civic ridge]

The event giving damage to everything

[feral knoll]

The manhunt missions may change the global modifiers, depending, but the event does seem to be just a flat buff.

[sturdy hazel]

when are they gonna tell us what's coming with the title update on the 21st?

[feral knoll]

probably on the 21st?

[willow geode]

I'd figure a day or two before the update

[sleek bay]

Run escalation tier 6 , 0 proto
Run tier 1, drop 2 proto

Wtf

[polar thorn]

a

[civic ridge]

RNGesus

[feral knoll]

rng do be like.

[polar thorn]

The Damned RNG.

[wispy pewter]

yesterday i did 4 back to back tier 5 no drops , today one run 3 drops , this is messed up

[jagged shell]

I believe there should be a completion chance of getting a core (or drop), they can make it 5% for all I care

[tender wave]

@edgy zephyr please use #lfg-pc when looking for players to group with

[remote spade]

How much burst/sustained DPS is considered competitive?

[silver eagle]

I just got my first prototype on tier 1. But it's useless for me. Should I deconstruct or wait until bugs are fixed?

[tender wave]

@dry ivy see above message ^

[silver eagle]

Im level 17 expertise so I guess no point to touch it now

[tender wave]

You can always deconstruct it later so I guess leave for now if you're not tight on space

[feral knoll]

If in doubt, that's what the stash is for. ^.^

[mighty creek]

1M per shot with fast firing LMG like M249 is good.

[tender wave]

Mostly people just look directly at the build to judge, rather than dps numbers since this can change dramatically depending on talent procs (which have wildly varying uptime in actual gameplay), plus the dps meter in the shooting range is deeply unreliable

[remote spade]

Wb the DPS calculator on the spreadsheet

[feral knoll]

It's also not a single number given varying fire rates, whether it's crit or headshot or status or..

[tender wave]

Spreadsheets are likely accurate.
The actual content you're playing makes a huge difference too, you'd want quite a different build in t10 escalation than in a standard solo heroic retaliation, for instance

[vagrant bane]

Dawg when is the crossplay update. Everything says April but we're half way through with no date

[hardy prawn]

No reset, always something lol

[tender wave]

They said it was coming sometime in year 8, and year 8 started in April but it could be any time from now until next March

[vagrant bane]

Ubisoft you're pathetic

[tender wave]

For some reason people heard it as coming 'with the start of year 8' when that's not what they said at any point

[vagrant bane]

They said it was coming April 2026

[hybrid ore]

An AI answer has been making the rounds, and of course, made it's way into some official looking (but not Ubisoft hosted) articles.

G2A quite infamously have been spreading the false info around.

In case you needed another reason to hate AI.

[jagged canyon]

They never did. not on stream, not on socials, not in update information. Only that it was coming this year

[blazing moss]

Is hollowman in the houndsman bounty?

[vagrant bane]

Smh. Thanks guys

[tender wave]

It can be dropped by the mini warhounds, yes

[lethal moon]

I never really understood where the certainty was formed that the crossplay update was included with Y8S1. Nothing official ever mentioned a solid date, nor that it was coming at the start of Y8.

[hybrid ore]

It's literally the AI answer when you google it, or at least it would be if you didn't disable AI answers.

Which everyone should, and takes about 3 seconds.

(you can add a single line of text to ublock origin.)

[half blade]

40k+ countdown req so far rahhh

[blazing moss]

@tender wave Ty

[tender wave]

Try not to blow it all on hookers and drugs

[hoary glade]

Is there really no damage gear set better than striker's?

[mortal quest]

Do loadouts save outfits too?

[inner anchor]

hello

[feral knoll]

I love how you just are incredulous about everything, lol.

[inner anchor]

hey guys, need advice . anyone there ?

[tender wave]

Just ask your question, people will answer if they can

[feral knoll]

Nope. I believe you can save apparel though

[inner anchor]

i have, in the division 1 channel but no one has :/ ill be busy after a while so need it as soon as possible

[feral knoll]

Just ask your question, asking to ask doesn’t really achieve anything. People will answer when and as time allows.

You also didn’t ask the question there either far as I can see. Oh, in build advice.

[obsidian atlas]

shoot your shot and you will be shot, punctual, slightly accurate and usually on time, you have been warned

[mortal quest]

Like apparel loadouts?

[obsidian atlas]

correct, apparel presets are a thing, quickly swap between outfits, quick access to changing your drip on a notice

[silver eagle]

I can say 75% of my deaths in this game are caused by those exploding runners. I hate them so much. Come out of nowhere just to explode in my face. Second place take those RV's and drones

[tender wave]

Keep your ears open and you can usually hear them approach

[obsidian atlas]

mindful of your surrounding, enemy types, what they do, where they are, and their behavior, it pays to have a semi active COMBAT AWARENESS

and armor, in case your battle senses fails you

[silver eagle]

I'm trying. When I hear the footsteps I know I'm in trouble 🤣

[obsidian atlas]

now see that's half the battle, your other half are your tactics and one rule of thumb being: NOT overstepping the boundaries

quickest way to get yourself surrounded and thrown hazards at from all directions

respect your enemies, a walking suicidal bomb is still a bomb, treat them like one

[silver eagle]

Do you use any explosive resistance?

[obsidian atlas]

barely, but it's nice to have if you have antics of finding yourself near explosives or tactics that revolves grenades

my one stop shop solution is usually armor regen

you can never have enough armor in this game, your armor gone, your mortality rate is now out the window

holding a toothpick in my mouth really changes my speech

[hoary glade]

Yes, cuz tis the first time ive ever been active in a game community. And people are nice aside from the few others who tries to bait you into arguments

[obsidian atlas]

big fat easy to use massive damage glass cannon set, not gonna lie, you can't go wrong with mag dumping until they're dead builds

[serene fiber]

Any news concerning cross play? It is due to be released this month but is there a day?

[burnt hazel]

this month?

i heard sometime this year

[tender wave]

@serene fiber See above ^

[serene fiber]

😩

[obsidian atlas]

that means approximately 340 something more days

[serene fiber]

Not very encouraging tbh, looking forward to play it with a friend from pc, was under the idea it would release this month

[tender wave]

That seems to be a remarkably common misconception

[tawny trail]

I thought my build was too good for heroic, Didn’t realize there’s bonus from GE💀

[tender wave]

@hazy oak please use #lfg-pc when looking for players to group with

[hazy oak]

sure thanks

[hoary glade]

Weird question, do warhounds and mini tanks have a headshot hitbox?

[tender wave]

No, hence although determined will do headshot damage and proc hotshot, it won't reproc determined or headhunter

[hoary glade]

But the determined reproc or was that a bug

[tender wave]

Oh, I might be misremembering. Determined reprocs but headhunter doesn't

[brazen elm]

I swear i've gotten determined reprocs from drones and turrets

[lament elbow]

can somebody tell me why i don’t get Ruthless and Lullaby when i create a new character?

[lament elbow]

determined does reproc, any enemy skill does i believe

[kind veldt]

it doenst properly because dogs have armor

[tender wave]

Yeah it's literally only helmets that stop it from reproccing I think, just misremembered

It will reproc on dogs too but a few seconds later when they finish their death animation

[hoary glade]

Works the same as elite enemies with armor i think

[kind veldt]

armor plate type situation and helmets

you cant bypass them with headshot

so they just eat the headshot

[half blade]

Yall think its worth keeping railsplitter, like will i ever use it?

(Already have it proficient im just a hoarder)

[kind veldt]

i never use it, accuracy is kinda a non issue on most ARs, while it does let you hit headshots consistently at long range

i do keep one in stash but i have lot of free space

[half blade]

My stash is only like 80 something out of 500

[tender wave]

Dogs don't, even if you shoot them on the body not the legs, determined will bypass their armour. You just have to wait a few seconds to get the proc back

Unless they changed it very recently

[tender wave]

You're clearly not a hoarder

Or you have it very well controlled

[half blade]

Only have just under 300 hours ingame and only things that have dttooc on it

[tender wave]

Not one of every gearset part and named item 'just in case'?
Eh, I'm sounding like a gatekeeper here, just ignore me

[slate lion]

Worth keeping unicorn pieces just in case, but then you need to know what is unicorn

[half blade]

I dont need dmg reduc or skills or health sets im a dps all the way why heal when the threat is dead?

[kind veldt]

overdrive event working on escalations?

[drowsy pewter]

I just visited the premium credits store, and i apparently can buy again the bug-out mask bundle

[lean breach]

in all theory yes, casue they also work in conflict. but that was last season

[half blade]

It doesnt work do not recommend

[drowsy pewter]

Oh damn overdrive is active? hell yewah

[lean breach]

yeahhh!!!!! Im stoked to get in some T10's with it.

in all theory it works in essy misssions but im not 100%

come to LFG PC I got you fam!

[graceful dove]

I love getting determined procs off of objects. The other day i headshot killed a box of black tusk supplies in Patomac Event Center

[obsidian atlas]

i really really really need to stop thinking about how buckshots ejects before we even slide back
