Somehow shooting them in the butthole did more damage then shooting them in the chest 💀

[polar thorn]

random bullsh#t go?

[final anchor]

https://youtu.be/3c7rsH7NZic?si=USwA_mWbPtUpcjUN here a video talking about pure damage numbers

[agile gyro]

Is there like some type of black magic I can do to up my damage?

[vague mesa]

also idk if the augment I got on it is good, it came with entropy

[agile gyro]

i still got 5 more levels to go with the turmoils 😭

[vague mesa]

yea it’s called farming magic

[final anchor]

Pray to Manny that you do damage

[sudden meadow]

entropy is pretty crap

[median basin]

Where can I get the birdie exotic bag ?

[vague mesa]

4 pieces of hotshot (mask, gloves, knee pads, holster), chainkiller named chest, Habsburg backpack, headshot damage on everything including gear mods

at least that’s what I’m running and I’m hitting 56 million headshots once the buffs are active

[sudden meadow]

master roosevelt iirc

the climax mission

[vague mesa]

oh I forgot the talents
determined on your backup marksman rifle, vigilance on backpack

[final anchor]

No that kelso

[final anchor]

Climax mission on camp white oak hunter Recruiter

[median basin]

Why he say Rosevelt

How do I get climax I haven’t played in a year

[final anchor]

Idk miss remembering how am I supposed to know

[agile gyro]

Well hey there is a bright side to this whole fiesto with my dmg

my fixer drone became proficient 💀

[median basin]

How do I get this ?

[final anchor]

Open map go to manhunt tab then go to legacy manhunt look for Hunter recruiter

[agile gyro]

@polar thorn I should run this in conflict

[polar thorn]

I about to commit genocide if your fixer drone deals damage instead.

[final anchor]

You will get cooked

[agile gyro]

thats the point

I will rely on people to carry me to victory and be a bullet sponge

[polar thorn]

Just throw the damn decoy

[agile gyro]

actually im not even spongey with this, I take that back I only got 780k armor 💀

anyway.........

[final anchor]

Just healthgate

[agile gyro]

yall

my pvp damage is 44,019 😭

[polar thorn]

I don't have pvp build, so

[agile gyro]

my one build does 49,871 for PVP and the other does 18k....

[polar thorn]

well I do have core strength with Bighorn just in case

[agile gyro]

my bighorn build does 57,890 though :D

[sudden meadow]

He asked where to get birdie's quick fix bag. I coulda sworn that's from the kelso climax mission. Am I wrong on that?

[final anchor]

Want to fight in the DZ with me I promise I won't go rogue on you

[agile gyro]

I should get a commendation atp for being a grade A certified dumbass.

[clear sapphire]

Idk know who needs to hear this but STOP BRINGING DRONES INTO COUNT DOWN

[polar thorn]

Pixel is getting robbed at this point.

[agile gyro]

Nah I'm the one robbing, I will gladly drop a nuke on the entirety of DC if it means I get to win a fight

[polar thorn]

I mean, I would get robbed too but I don't have proper pvp build yet

[agile gyro]

Manny? obliterated. JTF? Gone. Hyenas? erased

[clear sapphire]

the weekend is the worse time to do count downs man.

[agile gyro]

I should post in #td2-build-advice and ask people to rate my build as a joke 💀

[feral knoll]

lol, Kitsenubi squad spawned without in-game notification, ran around corner and there were 4 of them; just as they were foamed. b-e-a-utiful.

[polar thorn]

ImMrChow might personally hunt you down.

[feral knoll]

No key though, as is tradition.

[agile gyro]

wait till he hears that it was actually worse at one point in time-

anyway ive said too much 🤐

[marsh swan]

server maintenance?

i have bravo message

[gloomy rain]

is there any way to disable to kitsunebi? im trying farm control points and it getting annoying having them show up at the end of each fight just to drag things out.

[agile gyro]

I genuinely wonder if my striker drone will do more damage then my guns atp

[final anchor]

Server hiccups

[marsh swan]

aha oki i'm trying again

[final anchor]

Nope

[agile gyro]

Honestly I'd make a great career being a division 2 youtuber by making clickbait titles and whatnot for good builds when in reality they are absolute crap.

[marsh swan]

ohhh yeah im in yes

[feral knoll]

*waddles* I am absolutely not hording Optimization Caches. How very dare you.

[agile gyro]

How many u got

[feral knoll]

Too many. xD

[final anchor]

At least count them

[agile gyro]

I mean I got 36 waiting for the surge

[tough yoke]

Why cant I find the capacitor exotic bp to buy even though I received it at lvl 35? Im also at floor 21 on summit

[polar thorn]

I got like 24

[final anchor]

So 360 field data and 216 shd calibration

[agile gyro]

• 100 SHD points

[final anchor]

Eh not much

[agile gyro]

I woulda had 300 if I wasnt spending them on filaments

[final anchor]

Suck to be you I'm done with all that

[feral knoll]

2 squads, no keys, off to a cracking good start there.

[agile gyro]

I cant say what I wanna say.

[final anchor]

Need a level 40 capacitor iirc

[tough yoke]

🙁

[agile gyro]

Sad thing is ive never struggled with SHD calibration data, its just the field data thats a pain.

[final anchor]

Sorry I was praying for your downfall

[final anchor]

Lol

Gimme all your exotic components

[agile gyro]

I got so many exotics im js waiting to deconstruct during the one event so I can get more.

[final anchor]

Give them here

[agile gyro]

pay me.

[final anchor]

You get 1 iou

[agile gyro]

bros actually a scammer

[final anchor]

Na trust

[agile gyro]

Would you trust me enough to let me give you build advice?

[final anchor]

I wouldn't mind a new perspective is nice

[agile gyro]

bros way too trusting 💀

[final anchor]

Don't mean I'm gonna follow the advice XD

[feral knoll]

3rd squad, no keys, relog time I guess.

[polar thorn]

Snow wakes up to choose violence over peace

[feral knoll]

I'll search in chat, but there was a spreadsheet with all the seasonal modifer effects I seem to recall?

[final anchor]

Somewhere

[hybrid ore]

There's a calculator for the current Seasonal stuff.

and a table with the best combo's, I've put it over in #ask-td2-community

[feral knoll]

perfect.

[viral osprey]

dk if i did something wrong but how do i have -710 headshot dmg %

[final anchor]

need more info but sound like a visual bug

[feral knoll]

ronan despawning when you move six inches in any direction definately doens't get old, at all.

[fresh flame]

Just wanted to ask, is the server lagging? The game has been stuttering since the Cherry Blossom Event started. 😅

[vital bolt]

Hello.

[prime plank]

just took the first 10 summit floors on challenging for the first time and phew

i know it's not impressive or anything but damn it's stressful (but more importantly fun)

[viral osprey]

one sec in a control point ill take a picture

[dreamy crescent]

2am gets kicked and echo-1 is that just a sign from div2 too jump in my bed 👁️ 👄 👁️

[final anchor]

its normal stuff

[final anchor]

ello there

[vital bolt]

Is there a category or channel for Division Resurgence?

[foggy mauve]

is d2 fun on pc thinking bout getting buying it

[final anchor]

#social-media

[vital bolt]

Thx

[foggy mauve]

justt wouldnt have no one to play with

[final anchor]

I think its a great game to buy on sale quite enjoyable

[viral osprey]

cant post pictures here

[final anchor]

there are plenty of people in the LFG that will be happy to help you out along the way

[final anchor]

#ask-td2-community

[umbral oak]

Is reddit the only place acting like the key patches destroyed the game or is that sentiment everywhere

[feral knoll]

reddit complains about everything, so.

[stuck ridge]

I could care less as long as they don't rollback my items

[final anchor]

reddit is reddit touch it with a 10ft pole

[umbral oak]

Just wanted to see if it was just reddit

[final anchor]

normal day on reddit

we pretty chill about it some rants here and there

[umbral oak]

Nah, games clearly dead now

[final anchor]

lol

[stuck ridge]

keys are a pain in the ass to get and the 39/40 bug on lanterns had me tearing my hair out running all over dc for hours.. typical ubi quality assurance

[wraith coyote]

how to get the harvest pistol

[final anchor]

event cache drops them atm

[wraith coyote]

same with quickpistol and lexington?

[final anchor]

yup

[feral knoll]

trying to decide between weapon handling and mag size; the former makes LMGs a bit more accurate..

[wraith coyote]

what are the chances for it?

[feral knoll]

bro pls. lol. also not kosher to post stuff obtained from game via.. other means. so.

[stuck ridge]

breh ik this person

[feral knoll]

okay yep that answer my question, defo weapon handling for LMGs. Probs mag size for ARs at a guess.

[umbral oak]

I thought the lanterns refreshed so you could just get the ones you already got

[stuck ridge]

no

[feral knoll]

3 per day I believe?

[stuck ridge]

what??

perma slowmode this server is designed terribly

[feral knoll]

some of the lanterns reset perioidcally, so they can be interacted with again; also if there is a kill squad nearby it'll interrupt interaction.

[umbral oak]

I could've sworn they said they would reset

[stuck ridge]

ik abt interaction bug was killing me when I was trying to go for 40

[umbral oak]

I did like 10 lanterns back to back with no issue, the kill squad usually spawned after I touched it

[viscid mulch]

How do I donate Sakura keys? Sure it's been answered 1000 times, not understanding how.

[feral knoll]

go to event desk at base of op; there are 3 caches, gear, apparel and donation.

[lime silo]

How get that red ronin outfit from event

[umbral oak]

The community chest

At least that's where I got mine from

[severe needle]

How often does escalation mission rewards change?

[feral knoll]

daily; same as their base mission source.

[edgy fable]

Daily

[severe needle]

Can you see the active rewards online somewhere?

[edgy fable]

Yeah but not in this discord

[umbral oak]

Can also just zoom out on the map and hit whatever button is for showing targeted loot

[edgy fable]

R

[severe needle]

Ty

[umbral oak]

Up on the dpad is more pleasing to hit than R imo

[edgy fable]

Well you guys have the PC role here so I presume it's KB/M

[severe needle]

How long until the loot swaps then? Cause atm its the same as last night

[feral knoll]

turning 'Carnage' into a laser is a good time.

[flat forge]

1 hr 20

[hybrid ore]

@final anchor We appreciate the enthusiasm, but you gotta be careful with posts like that. The bot may decide to outright ban you next time.

[feral knoll]

*notices long delay for spawn closets*
nek minute "Server restarting in: "

[umbral oak]

Don't know exactly on the map screen but there's a timer somewhere

[feral knoll]

well that was chaotic; two Kitsunagi groups and a ronin in the middle of a rescue hostage.

[umbral oak]

I love when they spawn during control points. Makes me wish the spawns for enemies were higher sometimes

[limber estuary]

If you kill the hostage there is no need to rescue btw

[lethal moon]

There is a timer on the targetted loot allocation screen. Alternatively, it is at daily reset for the projects.

[umbral oak]

Something tells me that's not the welcome outcome for the situation

[lethal moon]

Why did the hostage die?
"I was busy killing the funny fox bois"

[feral knoll]

I don't usually summarily execute hostages, to be fair I was more interested in the two kill squads and ronin.

[umbral oak]

I just skip the pleasantries and call them furries

[lethal moon]

I mean if it looks and sounds like a duck...

[umbral oak]

It's probably a cat

[feral knoll]

To be fair I wanted their bodies for keys..

[lethal moon]

"Reason for the kill: their body held a shiny."

[agile gyro]

Imma be real I accidentally stumble onto them then leave them to die because I don’t wanna spend time on a hostage rescue activity 💀

[hybrid ore]

Free Bounties are never a bad reward.

[feral knoll]

"I want your boots, your clothes, and your keys." - John/ Jane Agent.

[agile gyro]

Fair enough

[lethal moon]

Nah screw their drip, just yoink their keys.

[feral knoll]

BTSU firmware for the seasonal modifier are only retal, yes? Oh wait, also Scouts. Hmm.

[wraith coyote]

How to get the basic components that's maximum of 500? I only have 230

[silent light]

Delta 3? Still? wtf is going on man

[mossy imp]

i just had my highest key drop rate since the patch

[silent light]

Sort ya shi out

[mossy imp]

11 keys in around 3 hours

but the dang ronin are always despawning as soon as they spawn

[silent light]

I can't tell if you're serious or nah, but that sounds more like unpaid slavery rather than a farm.

[mossy imp]

sometimes the squads too

[agile pendant]

shotguns also like dmg out of cov right

[umbral oak]

Until it's a hostage in the container

[mossy imp]

i am serious. last time i played for 4 hours and got 4 keys

[silent light]

bruh

[mossy imp]

i dont think its a good drop rate but its a lot better than ive had lately

[silent light]

I dont think this game thing is for your man

That sounds like a hatecrime

[mossy imp]

sounds more like its not for you

[silent light]

Stop normalizing degenerate farming for little to no reward. Cheers

[mossy imp]

😐

[umbral oak]

I did the Christmas farm without any key glitches just fine personally

[wooden trout]

thats kinda the whole end game loop, its a looter shooter...

[torpid ocean]

t3 drop rates is pretty good, got 1 each on 2 runs and 3rd run got 5

[silent light]

So just because you're used to something, its good/ok? Wierd logic

[edgy fable]

There are differences

[mossy imp]

there was one squad that gave me 3 keys

[silent light]

Anyone who tryna justify 1 key/hour got problems I don't even wanna begin to untangle lmao

[umbral oak]

Getting a single key in an hour just sounds like the world's worst rng

[hybrid ore]

It's a video-game, play it how you find it fun.

[mossy imp]

its a combo of low drop rate and bad luck i guess

and bugs

[hybrid ore]

Using the Lanterns to boost spawn rates will help a lot with Kitsa' farming.

[mossy imp]

i got them all

[silent light]

"But its a looter shooter so its expected" yikes lmao

[hybrid ore]

3 reset daily.

[mossy imp]

i dont know where the daily 3 are

[umbral oak]

I don't really pay attention to the key drops and how long it takes, I just run control points all day for them

[mossy imp]

3 a day doesn't make much impact i dont think

[edgy fable]

What a joke. Does anyone really expect players to run around looking for those random three lanterns?

[mossy imp]

yeah i was focusing on control points. on challenging. solo

[edgy fable]

Useless time sink that is, IMO

[umbral oak]

Ubisoft is only permitted one W per update

[mossy imp]

trying to do it in matchmaking was really inefficient, i wont try that any more

[silent light]

Ubi haven't caught a W since AC2

[edgy fable]

Accidental W with the bugged event

[umbral oak]

That was the one W

You'll have to wait next season for the next one

[hybrid ore]

"bugged event". Sure.
anyway, enough negativity for one day.

[edgy fable]

We are here to exchange opinions, is that not allowed?

[silent light]

"how dare you give MY game fair criticism!"

[feral knoll]

less exchange more just wall of.

if it was an exchange, you'd be open to other viewpoints; if you're not, which is fine, then it's a one-way conversation.

[silent light]

Who says they're not

[feral knoll]

are you tho? be honest.

[silent light]

Of course. Im not a liberal.

[edgy fable]

I mean the complaints about this event are plentiful, even Rogue Gold covered that in a video

[umbral oak]

This isn't really opinions, just people saying low key drops are bad

[tropic sentinel]

It's not negativity if it is how it is.

[hybrid ore]

Lol
okay cmon, this is getting silly now.

[edgy fable]

What is silly? I don't see it

[umbral oak]

Me, iam silly

[edgy fable]

Might need some sleep

[umbral oak]

Yeah probably

[edgy fable]

I'll wait and see what the new targeted loot allocation will be

[umbral oak]

Just hit me that one day the targeted loot will be the same as it was last year for one of the days this year

[midnight horizon]

Anyone know if Striker is on escalation today?

[edgy fable]

We just had it a few days ago, I doubt

[inner elbow]

Yes. When there is a will there is a way. Complaining and doing nothing about it achieves nothing.

[agile pendant]

damn 25 exotic compo to reroll the scorpion.... cringe rng

[inner elbow]

Hah, only 25

[lethal moon]

With so many targeted loot possibilities I'd be surprised if any "meta" sets are targeted, least in Escalation.

[umbral oak]

Wish granted strikers is targeted loot for art museum

[lethal moon]

[inner elbow]

Inb4 Escalation arrives in Countdown

[umbral oak]

Freak

[lethal moon]

Surprise, if all 8 of you aren't running DPS builds the Hunters in the beginning of the Countdown run will not die.

[solid timber]

[lethal moon]

Whose gonna tell him

[inner elbow]

Not surprised. Its what a DPS check game mode requires

[edgy fable]

Not much we can do other than voicing our opinions on various platforms 👍

[inner elbow]

3100 hrs, SHD 5100 what have you been doing? Afk?

[tropic sentinel]

Maybe he's not kenly graduate and does not care about xp events?

[hybrid ore]

Daily Rotation for Escalation Targeted Loot:

Manning Zoo: Tip Of The Spear
Camp White Oak: Ceska
Pentagon: Gloves
DARPA: True Patriot. ```

[lethal moon]

I hate that DARPA has TP

[inner elbow]

Everyone needs toilet paper

[edgy fable]

Rip, thx Rivens

[lethal moon]

I now need to hop into DARPA cause I need my TP proto build. Cause that'd be funny for Countdown.

[edgy fable]

I guess White Oak it is then

[inner elbow]

Don't forget about the feedback hub

[edgy fable]

As if that's looked at

Twitter seems more effective alongside support tickets or the Ubisoft discord

[hybrid ore]

#1380126780152614944 is indeed looked at, they've spoken about it on livestreams that it, and the new bug reporter, were incredibly helpful in adding fixes for stuff.

[inner elbow]

Hey, never hurts to try

[gilded torrent]

AAA, hello, new to the server but I was hoping to ask if the Tactial Integral Helmet is ever going to make a return? Its like the coolest looking helmet imo and I unfortunately missed it 🙁

[edgy fable]

It was a twitch drop and I've not seen it in the store ever since

Try your luck in https://discord.com/channels/477210626742288384/1380194318786232360

[gilded torrent]

I didn’t figure it would, thats why I was hoping I could find someone in the know (like a staff member) who might know, or even when/if the maneuver bundle will return

[solid timber]

Mostly dz and raid after 1000shd. Never farm shd on purpose . Lead lot of first time raider. That take most time . Unexperienced first time raider x7 will keep wiping. Next time ask like normal person before open ur mouth and mocking .

[edgy fable]

I've seen it in the store twice since last summer

[inner elbow]

Ngl i thought you were a bot. Strangest LFG ad ive seen

[silent light]

Is it actually worth buying the expansion so i get access to Art museum.. I feel like its gonna be pain to find escalation matchmaking

[gilded torrent]

The bundle?? :0 so it might still be coming around? 😄

[edgy fable]

Probably at some point

[gilded torrent]

I’ll keep my hopes up! and always checking on tuesdays from now on lol, idk about the twitch drop helmet though 😬 that one might be a stretch to hope for lol

[edgy fable]

There are several almost look-alikes that you'll see in the store

[gilded torrent]

I’ll keep an eye out! I did nab the See No Evil mask, I love it, but I love the goggles with ear pros and ballistic mask 🥰

[wet heath]

do you always get a prototype first bloom with your first event cache?

[feral knoll]

no, very nice luck!

[wet heath]

nice haha

[hybrid ore]

For anyone looking for the content creator backpacks: today's Projects are rewarding them.

[gilded torrent]

OMG FINALLY, I just need to hurry up and get off work lol

[agile pendant]

man bitsweet is underwhelming for fi builds

[cold narwhal]

Are redeemable codes for cc arm patches allowed to be shared here

[fresh flame]

Question, how do you get the Community Cache rewards after donating a key? Or will it be rewarded after the event?

[drowsy pewter]

if i want to protottype a gear: do i have to fully optmize them? or just fully expertise them to 30

[cold narwhal]

The latter i think

[drowsy pewter]

just expertise?

[slim cave]

herald of spring distinction division 2 I have activated all 40 lanterns but only 39 appear. I checked each one twice and they are all activated. Does anyone know what the problem is?

[gilded torrent]

Huh, I’m confused, I thought I had to hit level 30 expertise to be able to turn stuff into prototypes? Cuz I have a maxed Lexington but no way to make it a prototype 🙁 and no luck on rolling one from caches, I did get 3 proto first blooms tho

[cold narwhal]

You can pretty easily confirm, if it doesn’t meet the requirements it wont show up on the prototype tab

[late crescent]

unequip it

[gilded torrent]

I have had it un-equipped, its still favorited tho, is that an issue?

[late crescent]

maybe

[gilded torrent]

When I open the prototype tab it only shows the 3 actual prototype guns I have :/

[late crescent]

remove the favorite

and your gun is level 30 expertise?

[mystic notch]

Wheres the best place to find Hyena snipers?

[slim cave]

not equipped

[late crescent]

bounties

[mystic notch]

Ty

[late crescent]

also en jefferson trade center coyote is a sniper

[gilded torrent]

No thats my issue is I can only make guns/armor expertise level 3 😭 how can I get that level quicker, it costs so much in resources just to get 1 thing to level 10

[mystic notch]

Good to know thank you

[late crescent]

donate the same gun or use it

[gilded torrent]

You can donate guns towards proficiency progress? 😳😳 AAAAAA I feel dumb

[late crescent]

ye but for example if u want to level up lex u need donate another lex

so the best thing on lex is use it

it eventually level up

[zenith urchin]

never go full healer

[gilded torrent]

Yea I got my lex maxed, I just need to make progress on like, everything else, so I can upgrade my equipment beyond level 3, its gonna be such a long grind to 30 😭

[mystic notch]

I want new exotics lol im tired of usin the same 3-4 🤣

Last exoic I got was Pestilance

[gilded torrent]

:0 I wish I could pull a Pestilence, I keep getting doo doo so I’m just using my older better exotics lol, I did get my first Shroud though, I quite like that!

[polar thorn]

Pestilence is nice.

[mystic notch]

I had to bite my tongue and solo dark zone to make it drop

[gilded torrent]

Yea idk if I’m that good lol, I suck at PvP 😬 I might try sometime but I usually lose all my loot lol

[mystic notch]

Luckily I got it on my first named boss drop, and nobody was on at the time to bother me at extraction

[wheat trail]

Anyone have Houndsman Bounty for Quickstep?

[winged rose]

Wuts the loot allocation today where do i find it

[polar thorn]

Try hunt Sakura keys for quickstep

[azure galleon]

Unless someone posts it here manually, it's only visible in-game.

[mystic notch]

Server update in 18 minutes it says. Idk how long itll be down for

[gilded torrent]

Whaaaaat? Nooooo 😭😭 I get off work in like 30 mins, this always happens 😭

[polar thorn]

nothing for asia server, mostly just restart the server

[mystic notch]

Just had my 1st Heroic solo mission with 0 deaths 😄

Also as a side question. Is cross play finally added yet?

[polar thorn]

Not now but estimated in this year.

[mystic notch]

Ah. Google lied then lol. It says “April 2026”

Also just hit 400 on the watch lvl

[small spear]

google AI overview has never gaslit anyone

[lethal moon]

That is the singular reason the people who know it isn't are having to repeat themselves. Not your fault but just mentioning it.

[mystic notch]

Wouldnt of know . I dont actively check this server. Only when im actually playin the game

[lethal moon]

I'm sure in game they'd be like "hey guys, crossplay is active. Have fun."

[mystic notch]

I expect the bare minimum. That sounds like to much effort for most devs these days lol

[mighty creek]

Imagine crossplay went online and the game is free to claim for a period of time in Ubisoft connect, I'm sure the game's server will blow up.

[mystic notch]

Goin to try the Core armor set when the servers restart. Seems like it would be useful to me

[clear robin]

who got the quick step bounties

[mighty creek]

I do but you better off keep opening event gear cache.

[umbral oak]

You can get quickstep in the caches

[mighty creek]

You can get Quickstep pistol from there among other unique named items.

[clear robin]

it dont drop for me

[umbral oak]

Something something rng, just gotta keep pulling for it

[clear robin]

add can?
\

[mighty creek]

Just keep opening it.

[clear robin]

ok

[mighty creek]

Sorry sir but I'm done playing for today.

[clear robin]

ok

[umbral oak]

Back in my day movement speed took up an exotic slot

[mighty creek]

Lady Death?

[umbral oak]

Yeah

Which makes me wonder if lady death and quickstep stack

[mighty creek]

Cant. Lady Death speed boost will deactivate if you switch weapon.

[umbral oak]

Actually allergic to fun

[lost sage]

Good Morning Agents 🕵
I wish a good Sundaygrind 🍀

[umbral oak]

Back to the key mines

[mighty creek]

I just felt, deja vu.

[gilded torrent]

I got a couple Quicksteps from the event caches! I can finally run fast! Not a flex! Just encouragement to keep pulling, I’m sure you’ll get one!

I’m hoping to get a Proto Lexi but I’m starting to believe it aint real lmao

[lethal moon]

Quickstep's fine print:

This bonus does not stack with other Movement Speed bonuses.

[feral knoll]

it's not, at least not from event cache; it's not in the loot pool, only the non-proto version.

[umbral oak]

Literally unplayable game

[fervent cipher]

I still cant get my community drip even tho i sent 2 keys 😭

[gilded torrent]

Did the google lie to me as well? I was told there was a 0.5% chance of getting a proto lexi, and a 1% chance for the proto first bloom’s, but I managed to get 3 of those :/

[umbral oak]

It did in fact lie

[gilded torrent]

🙁

[umbral oak]

Lexington isn't available prototype

[gilded torrent]

I’ve seen it in game?? Plenty of players have it

[feral knoll]

ah yes, the every reliable AI. Sure thing.

[umbral oak]

From the event anyway

[gilded torrent]

Ahh

[feral knoll]

You cannot get it from event cache. So, the only other source is season dependant.

[gilded torrent]

Oh well, at least I have a lexi now 🙁 well a bunch lmao but ye

[umbral oak]

Just get to expertise 30 and prototype one, surely it won't take forever

[flint palm]

You can also get a lexi prototype by crafting it. Get expertise level 30

[umbral oak]

Looking forward to the day I get a set of prototype rigger

[gilded torrent]

I’m expertise 3 😭 thats gonna take foreverrrr, I only recently learned u can donate weapons towards progress, I thought you had to use/donate materials for levels only

[umbral oak]

Only 27 more levels to go

[lost sage]

Use the Furios Hunter set with the Lady Death, Quickstep, Memento and Grupo Sombra vest – plus the Vigilance talent, the Banshee skill and the shield. Trust me, you’ll wipe the floor with everything, even on Heroic, even with 32 bullets.
That's the real RnG set

[polar thorn]

alright, sitting at 1105 SHD.
My back is cracking, time to stop

[gilded torrent]

laughs in eternal grind

[umbral oak]

Exactly

[rugged glacier]

Guy dies to a smg to the face in dead zone and calls me a hacker

[umbral oak]

Clearly aimbot

[rugged glacier]

Guy vaults up to a thing at the south dz center extraction after popping rogue

Guy had an open mic on too

[polar thorn]

crashing out in PvP is crazy

[lost sage]

Congratulation
I'm on the hunt for the SHD 8000

[rugged glacier]

Nah bro he had a contaminated SPAS 12 on him he clearly needed

[lethal moon]

PvP in this game is certainly... there.

[feral knoll]

nice work Agent.

[umbral oak]

Pvp is infact something that exists ingame

[umbral oak]

But what did you have

[polar thorn]

Now..I need to do expertise..

[rugged glacier]

Just a bunch of random loot because I just hit end game and im 127 SHD

[foggy mauve]

Can you get eagle bearer from the event caches B

[rugged glacier]

I don’t know still what im supposed to be picking up or looking for

[umbral oak]

Bro is in the fun bracket of dz

[polar thorn]

nope.

[fluid meadow]

Can't wait to welcome dude in shd 1k+ bracket

[umbral oak]

Fill up your library is one thing, so grab anything with maxed out rolls

[rigid wedge]

Nope
Either you can do Dark Hours and hope you get lucky or do Black Tusk Retaliations and hope to god they give you the blueprint

[umbral oak]

Black tusk retaliation is honestly far more reliable

[polar thorn]

I miss doing retaliations

[versed girder]

Is the xp event still active and if so for how long?

[rugged glacier]

Yeah for like 2 days still

[foggy mauve]

Thats how i feel cuz i cant find no one for the raid

[rugged glacier]

I literally have managed to go from 0-127 shd just because of the event and I didn’t even mean to im just returning after being disappointed with other games I’ve played

in like a day

[lost sage]

Turn up Michael Jackson and grind leeeeeeets goooooo

[umbral oak]

Getting the blueprint from retaliations isn't too bad, it's mainly grinding for the materials to make it

[rigid wedge]

You can find groups within discord but you are better off doing BT Retaliations

[foggy mauve]

Ngl them retaliations is annoying

[umbral oak]

Meanwhile the only issue I have is getting use to the black tusk logo on control points

[foggy mauve]

The stuff they want done be getting in the way since im new

[feral knoll]

man, that's the second time in a row that Kitsunebi have spawned in a random spot nowhere near my position and then insta-vanished.

[rugged glacier]

They evaded me as soon as they spawned

[umbral oak]

I learned from the krampus squad to stop moving when they spawn because of that

[frigid merlin]

There should be a opt out option for proficiency caches

[feral knoll]

I wasn't moving, lol. They just spawned in then within about 3 seconds noped out. I was in the middle of a control point take over so massive amounts of threat level.

Game likes to spawn them in areas where there is zero pathing to the player and it just removes them again.

[umbral oak]

What were the vac bans for btw

[hoary glade]

Holy sht, rikers and true sons assesment blueprints in 1 retaliation

[vague mesa]

what is an assessment

[rugged glacier]

Not even my division account don’t know why you’re stalking me

[umbral oak]

I was bored

[hoary glade]

The 3rd thing you need to optimize weapons and gears

[rugged glacier]

Truth

[umbral oak]

Very much so

[rugged glacier]

Younger me (like 11) saw a download that said infinite damage in cs go and actually thought it would help me win comp games

It was sadly a root kit and account swiper; and I used the exact same password for just about all my accounts so…that went well

Im still lucky to even have my Steam atp

[plush whale]

hello i got a question i always get delta 3 even tho my internet is good

[zealous hawk]

I just got that bleed chest, first bloom, Lexington and turmoil all within 10 caches

Lexington came with all attributes maxed as well

[plush whale]

it will always drop like that

[umbral oak]

If it makes you feel better I got banned from GTA

[gray flame]

It always drops like that. The talent is what changes

[zealous hawk]

Ah. I'm going for a second one.. flatline and killer

[umbral oak]

That's just like...a thing, and the servers have been a mess since all the key farming

[dark kayak]

Anybody else got a gameplay bug where the shots don't hit the targets ?

[plush whale]

so its not only me ?

[dark kayak]

It seems like it was a mess before the event

[plush whale]

swear it was since the event and i thought my internet is cooked

[umbral oak]

The servers specifically just hate you

I had issues logging in the other day

Seems like this happens every event

[feral knoll]

grand total of a massive huge 8 keys today.

and a ronin, no key.

[gleaming gate]

Hello, I need 3 people to do The Pact mission on Master difficulty please 🙂

[hoary glade]

The way the key donations drastically slowed down is funny af

[uncut salmon]

Not even worth trying to login even now, logged in, Ronin spawned, 20 seconds into the fight he stops moving and taking damage

thats like number one delta-03 error in another 20 seconds

[cold narwhal]

Love tooo get nothing from deconstructing prototype

[umbral oak]

He just hit you with the shadow clonejtsu

You just gotta lock in more

[thorn hound]

does printer filament counts as optimization material ?

[wet heath]

is proficiency also x3 in this event?

[gray flame]

No

[wet heath]

only shd watch level?

[gray flame]

Yes

[lucid tundra]

Cant believe my first prototype from cache was a bloom instead of a cooler. Headshot damage and paradox, could have been worse

[cold narwhal]

Why would you want a cooler

[lucid tundra]

I was memeing with my friend cause my luck is bad saying if i even get a prototype that’s what it will be

[feral knoll]

and because I joined via matchmaking, have to relog otherwise it will block ronan.

[lucid tundra]

So that’s how the glitch was fixed i am guessing? Incredible

[mystic notch]

I wish the ronan would stop spawning

[feral knoll]

hurrah, 2 more keys, care of a ronan and his buddies

[mystic notch]

Oh shit. I got an exotic holster from package. Dodge City Gunslinger

[feral knoll]

oh hey, expertise 26, nice.

[mystic notch]

Need hyena bounties but none on my map. Rip

[twilit cipher]

how event works stay in open world doing open world missions like control points?

[rugged glacier]

explode

[lucid tundra]

Look for public executions featuring hyenas they should give hyena bounty

[hoary glade]

How does one find those full lobby DZ servers

[stray lantern]

#unofficial-troubleshooting I bricked it

peak humor- all I did was tab through the store options too fast

[tropic sentinel]

Find some discord servers/clans that still do it.

[unique bramble]

Nobody is playing DZ on the next few weeks. Everybody just uses core strength set, and there is the event going on, and some people are waiting for the rebalancing update with the crossplay one.

[mystic notch]

Is there a way to turn the ronan off?

[unique bramble]

They are disabled in Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn

[mystic notch]

Rip

Tired of getting absolutely merked by them every 3 minutes

[feral knoll]

you can convert their lifeless bodies into keys tho, be a shame to waste.

[flint palm]

Can always just run away. They despawn after a few meters

[mystic notch]

Idc about event they always spawn right where I need go go and absolutely destroy me

[flint palm]

Also shouldn’t be that difficult (unless you run a skill build)

[feral knoll]

lol second proto First Bloom

[flint palm]

Blind fire from cover to slowly drain their health. They use health kits around 50% armor.

And unlike hunters they don’t actually push. They are more passive like rogue agents

[mystic notch]

Ive never seen/fought a hunter

[stray lantern]

Holy crap, apparently whatever broke in #unofficial-troubleshooting unverified everything

Normally it takes me like 3 minutes to reverify everything, now its taking 20+

[glad gulch]

thats crazy bro

[stray lantern]

I don't know what broke

but now its crashing on startup

[glad gulch]

uhh id say reinstall

its like the classic equivalent of using a nuke against a musquito

[feral knoll]

select the option to uninstall, then reinstall. If it's broken it's broken.

and #unofficial-troubleshooting probably best topic for that rather than spreading across more than one channel.

[polar thorn]

I'm back from power nap, time for expertise grind BEGINS

[tropic sentinel]

Did you at least restart PC after that crash?

[stray lantern]

Nah

it can tank it

Do what

[rugged glacier]

why can i just not do general anderson

[unique bramble]

Which

[rugged glacier]

united ironworks, got to the molten section and it told me to use the water cannons and they just ceased to function

[tropic sentinel]

Probably they still haven't fixed old bug. Find some player to host it for you and it should unlock afterwards.

Or not.

[mighty creek]

You're lucky Captain Fieser didnt appear.

[toxic kayak]

Servers acting up again?

[remote lynx]

Game playable or nah?

[toxic kayak]

Got Delta-03 and extreme lag during Rat Queen fight. Hahaha.

[turbid pine]

im doing 10K damage on the kill squad at the moment, with normal gameplay i do A LOT more

[coral hedge]

The whole game just frooze in countdown the servers are still fckt

[feral knoll]

The snipers legging it half way across the map and despawning doesn't get old at all.

[toxic kayak]

Got Foxtrot-01 error

[glad gulch]

what diff u at?

[feral knoll]

they have a shared health pool.

[turbid pine]

im at heroic, but normally i do 1,2M crit with my LMG build on heroic, but when the event kill squad spawns, im only doing max 50K

last night it was doable, now it is impossible to kill a squad

[feral knoll]

because they have a shared health pool; you are hitting them all the same time, so it's dividing damage. Generally best to mag dump into the chunkiest one as that'll chip away at the others.

[grave timber]

They are so good for turmoil

I love Chunky enemies easy to kill multiple people with turmoil

[unique bramble]

Something I just learned today: control points have two separate activities, clearing it, and capturing it. But only capturing it counts as Control Point activity, towards the priority objectives, meanwhile, clearing it and leaving it neutral only counts as a normal activity.

[coral hedge]

So its because of the game because i was wondering why my guns dont do same damage yesterday

[feral knoll]

again, shared health, and that hasn't changed since the event started; presumably you're only just noticing?

[turbid pine]

Im for sure, i did more damage yesterday, i farmed around 10 keys

now i cant even kill a single squad

[zenith urchin]

theyre on an invisible timer rotation and if you miss a dps phase you just have to sit and wait

[gleaming gate]

Is it viable to build with the big shield and tempest in the end game?

[zealous hawk]

so im 1k shd. is it gonna be better to keep arming nba for printer filament or should i run countdown now to lvl the things i have for profiency

[zenith urchin]

on the low end of viable if you try blue core striker

[turbid pine]

anyone tips for lvling fast?

[gaunt flax]

after lvl 40 or before?

[mighty creek]

If its after level 40, the best one is National Bond Armory classified assignment behind the White House. If you dont have it, retaliation. The more active directives, the better.

[mighty girder]

control point farming

[mighty creek]

If its before level 40, just keep doing main/side missions. And bunch of random activities.

[slender fox]

National Bond Armory on Heroic with all directives gives 3.1m per run or 5 SHD levels

[boreal willow]

Is smart cover needed for dps build?

[full zinc]

I think control points are better for early game shd farming. You unlock blueprints at the same time, jmho

[dreamy imp]

Can you redo the national bond armory?

[jagged shell]

Good morning everyone, time to farm HB and TP

[mighty girder]

TP is basically worthless tho

[jagged shell]

Everything is worthless except Striker, I understand

[mighty girder]

No, there are other sets that compete with Striker or fulfill a different niche that Striker can't
TP isn't one of them

[jagged shell]

Yes, nothing else in the game exists except dmg, I'm aware of the servers viewpoint

[kind veldt]

talking about escalation rotation?

[boreal willow]

What sets can compete with striker?

[jagged shell]

Tipping Scales I'd imagine

[silent crystal]

I do enjoy tipping scales over striker honestly

[kind veldt]

tipping scales, CoCo are the main ones for single target

[mighty girder]

tipping scales and concentrated company directly compete with striker
negotiator is better for multi-target damage, ongoing directive is able to boost the damage of your team while doing good damage on its own

[kind veldt]

there are others that are sidegrade

negotiatior to handle mobs, OD to buff everyone

and depending who you talk to for regular content hotshot is stronger

[jagged shell]

My personal goal is to have a build of every gearset prototyped, so I get excited on these rotations, even if something as unviable as TP comes around

[mighty girder]

headhunter's fury

[kind veldt]

what else is in rotation?

i'm still missing a good sniper, rifle and AR

well upgraded a lex but i do want alternative for it

[mighty girder]

The Art Mueseum: Heartbreaker
Manning National Zoo: Tip Of The Spear
Camp White Oak: Česká Výroba S.R.O.
The Pentagon: Gloves
DARPA Research Labs: True Patriot

[hardy flicker]

Be careful if you play on both console and PC like me, looks like you can only claim the community cache reward on 1 of them not both (if it’s tied to the same ubisoft account). If only I knew, I would’ve claimed it in my PC account instead

[jagged shell]

I really want to farm HB but Art Museum is such an annoying mission

I'm not sure if its even worth as all the cores will be blue

[oak anvil]

Which weapon's base have Lexington? Police M4?

[frigid merlin]

Art museum is ze one with immune girl boss?

[jagged shell]

Just part of the M4 family

[mighty girder]

lexington is a reskinned police m4

[red prawn]

chat, will freemen make a appearance or atleast a camo for division 2

[unique bramble]

M4 programming and LVOA-C 3D model.

[formal lion]

guys, i donated a key, how do i claim community rewards ?

[mighty girder]

there is a separate prompt to claim the rewards

[formal lion]

its grayed out

[mighty creek]

Whats CoCo?

[jagged shell]

Concentrated Company

[mighty creek]

Thats good?

[mighty girder]

competitive damage-wise but is annoying to stack when solo

[frigid merlin]

It cannot be used solo

[mighty girder]

you can, you just need to pre-stack it in the firing range

[frigid merlin]

Pre stacking doesn't even work

[formal lion]

i donated a key but i dont have a prompt to open the cache

[frigid merlin]

Even did the gear piece switch it's still bugged, but in a team just 1 wave of enemies and full stacks

[mighty girder]

the coco UI indicator is bugged, but it works normally, you just can't see your stacks

they haven't fixed it after 3209480325800000 years but it still functions

[frigid merlin]

Doubt they will bother fixing it

[mighty girder]

also the other problem CoCo has is that it's another on-kill thing, so it will fall off hard in escalation

[tropic marsh]

does the hollow man mask drop from the bloody houndsman bounty or the normal houndsmen? been running the bloody houndsmen and had non

[mighty girder]

both houndsmen will drop it

its just that it's still rare to get a dz exclusive from the hounds

[tropic marsh]

must be just getting hella unlucky haaha

[mighty girder]

i grinded bloody houndsman for like 23958250982 hours during proficiency surge and i can count the number of hollow man masks i got on one hand

[tropic marsh]

ohhhhhh ok so its like that

hahaha

[polar thorn]

I need to grind Houndsman for 284738273 times in order to get level 30 expertise.

[mighty girder]

even worse, yaahl gear does not exist in the TL at all, so you can't count on a non-existent yaahl gear TL in southwest to get what you want

unlike, say, The Gift, which is a DZ exclusive but is just a providence defense bag, so you can just wait until the TL is providence defense to get better odds

[flint palm]

Yeah. Gotta go in there when not a brand but gear slots are targeted (gloves holster etc)

[oblique olive]

I am doing NYC Hunters, and I was gonna fight Drip and Psycho hunters, but only Drip one spawned?

[tropic marsh]

yea i get ya ive already got one but its got armor as core as i rolled secondary stat to crit chance sadge

[flint palm]

Do you actually want a yaahl build? Or just for the expertise?

[mighty girder]

full red hollow man mask is good in escalation

[pearl sigil]

Do you have any friends who play in Turkish?

[flint palm]

Or against black tusk. Since armor for dogs and tanks counts as health

[tropic marsh]

nah i actually want the mask ive already done my expertise grind want it for escalation

[mighty girder]

well the health pools outside of escalation are not as absurd so using something like overdogs instead would be more beneficial

also you can just shoot the legs of the dogs to bypass their armor

[flint palm]

True. For legendary manning zoo however I will 100% use hollow man.

[tropic marsh]

is there a server restart timer for anyone else or it a bug

[mighty girder]

server restarts happen ocassionally. just restart the game and it will go away

[tough citrus]

Thank you!!!

[mighty girder]

if it's server maintenance it will be very obvious

[fair citrus]

Hey, does first bloom "scales" with turmoil?

Or the 2 enemy counts as attacking 2 separate one?

[polar thorn]

How do we..buy tiers in Escalation?

[jagged shell]

You go up to the mission and escalate it

[wheat pulsar]

You need tokens. Zero its free and you will be rewarded tokens to buy higher levels. If you wipe you will loose them. If you finish you get more. Like a slot machine.

[jagged shell]

Speaking of tokens, Art Museum has taken a few of them from me this week, My teams are wiping in the exhibition and fighting the rat queen

My last run this dude switches to a turret assault drone high end build and we got swarmed 😭

[fair citrus]

why the hell is art museum always in escalation anyway

nothing can make me play that

[jagged shell]

I should just farm Ceska

[polar thorn]

alright, thanks for the tip.

[mighty girder]

just shoot the rat queen stupid
/j

god forbid striker becomes TL in escalated art museum

[jagged shell]

Would be very painful, I'm tired of running it

[unique bramble]

Tell that to the delta errors or rogue agents

[mighty girder]

[jagged shell]

Innocent joke took me over the edge, running System Corruption in Esc

[mighty girder]

[violet canyon]

art museum is easy, just leave 1 add alive during the boss fight

[jagged shell]

My team kept killing the last enemy, and also wouldn't use the elevator to heal

[violet canyon]

oof

[jagged shell]

I didn't play perfect, I shouldn't have downed, but thats all it takes

[violet canyon]

The amount of people ive seen running ninja bag and blue cores in escalation is sickening

running ninja bag with 2 strikers pieces, some with 2 tipping scales pieces..... like what are we doin people

[red prawn]

sound cursed ngl

[violet canyon]

It is

most of them have been SHD 6000+ to, which is just...sad

[cobalt dove]

wdym tank armor is affected by dth and not dta

cant post a gif to show my reaction

[unique bramble]

Any armor that doesn't have a white bar, is not actually armor.

[mighty ivy]

Just tried the tidal basin manhunt. Absolutely insane boss fight. And by insane I mean cheap overkill

Also sucks no-one is matchmaking for it

[polar thorn]

That was easy than I thought.

I mean, tier 2 is like newbie entrance but I've enjoyed it.

Got myself prototype ceska gloves and btsu gloves

[violet canyon]

manning zoo seems to be the hotspots for drops, at least for me. I got 15 in one run yesterday

[polar thorn]

T5?

[violet canyon]

Yes

I normally average half that per run though

[glad gulch]

"brand new prototypes!" hm.. ok
"u need proto cores to upgrade other proto's or transform gear into proto" hmm fair enough.
"proto gear stats will be randomized if you get them from drops" thats reasonable
"you need expertise 30 to upgrade gear to proto"

[kind veldt]

turns out that earning gear is better than upgrading gear

[violet canyon]

yep, prototypes are absolute endgame. its for players that have been around for awhile. Newer players are going to have a tough time with it because none of them are going to be expertise 30

[kind veldt]

tho i do agree with people that unnatural/unicorns are a sore point they havent addressed properly

[glad gulch]

the stats are pretty doo doo most of the times and its better imo to js grind exp 30 and have ur gear max stat

[mighty ivy]

I can get gear to proficiency 23, taking ages tho

[violet canyon]

I disagree, making my own protypes has been a MUCH better experience

But I also was sitting at max exo components before prototypes existed, so I have plenty to play with

[glad gulch]

most drops i encountered in prototype (excluding guns. they are always maxxed atleast from the guns i had dropped) are pretty doo doo stat wise and theres no way to upgrade the stats so its better to just upgrade ur gear first and then proto it

[violet canyon]

Of the hundreds of prototypes ive found, literally only ONE of them has been usable lol

[uncut salmon]

im only expertise 7 bruuuhhh

[glad gulch]

guys... inn theory.. if i do legen summit with striker selected loot.. will my proto drops be striker gear???

[kind veldt]

no

[violet canyon]

you dont get protos from summit

[polar thorn]

rn, I'm looking for.. I forgot the damn LMG

M429 or something like that

[mighty ivy]

I crush almost everything I find. And some session I just put on a slop build and run missions over and over until they’re proficient

[glad gulch]

god dammit

[polar thorn]

I saw the prototype version with frenzy talent, it shreds fast.

[sweet sinew]

Guys retaliation working? I can’t start / there’s no button

[kind veldt]

gave someone with max rolled proto out of cover M249 yesterday

[uncut salmon]

actually what im doing alongside mod loot for the printer filament, least that doesnt feel like im wasting time

[willow nimbus]

guys i have %99 packet lost but my ping 44ms how to fix this issiue

[polar thorn]

What missions are you doing

[kind veldt]

yesterday was in art museum completely random drop since it was umbra targetted loot

already got an excellent LMG, SMG and shotgun. Want a sniper, rifle and AR

[polar thorn]

ack, I don't have dlc for that

[glad gulch]

the shit i'd do to see striker battlegear in the escalation menu 💔

[kind veldt]

it wasnt a targetted loot, just pure chance again

[violet canyon]

I have all echo augments on my tipping scales and strikers build variants and thats enough for me lol just leveling the augments up on all of them now

[kind veldt]

it was on the first day

[trim palm]

You know what I love about the new update.

CONSTANT EFFING DELTA 3'S!!!!

[glad gulch]

but not today.. 💔

[trim palm]

At least you can play. Delta-3 every time I log in.

[glad gulch]

just use eu servers 🤷‍♂️

[trim palm]

That's where the issues are for me 🤣

[polar thorn]

oh

[mighty ivy]

Any tried the new exotic knee pads? Blacklisters I believe it’s called

[kind veldt]

my SMGs and LMGs were pure chance

[trim palm]

I just want the Lexington.

[violet canyon]

those are old at this point and they suck

[plucky galleon]

dafuq is going on with the servers?

[uncut salmon]

ronins are hacking the servers /s

[kind veldt]

going with karma retribution of exploit abuse

[mighty ivy]

I just noticed them in the proficiency kneepad menu. For the tidal basin manhunt

[violet canyon]

ya they are from a few seasons ago and not worth even looking at honestly

[glad gulch]

🤷‍♂️ i dont expirience that

use a vpn to romania unless vpns are bannable in here idk

[uncut salmon]

ula got the premium servers

[mighty ivy]

Given how disgusting the manhunt end boss fight is, I won’t waste my time trying to get them then

[violet canyon]

ya theres literally no use for them

[mighty ivy]

Actually haven’t even looked at the perks. Was bouncing between that and tinkerer

[median basin]

Swear this game is so dead on ps5

[plucky galleon]

anyone having massive lags and disconnects?

[mighty ivy]

Wow. That is a terrible perk. Mark an enemy, he does 600% damage to you, but you can do 30% more damage to the other enemies.

[kind veldt]

connection to servers have been iffy since hte big ubisoft issue this tuesday

[violet canyon]

meh, lots of people tried to convince themselves and everyone else that tinkerers was meta but that didnt last lol

[kind veldt]

it has its use

[willow nimbus]

yes i have %99 packet loss

[violet canyon]

ya it has its uses, in the stash LOL

[edgy fable]

20%

[mighty ivy]

I’m just a collector of exotic items. Spend ages going for the vindicator exotic then didn’t much use it

[violet canyon]

ya, gives you something to do

[mighty ivy]

Right right. Even worse!

[edgy fable]

They were "fun" right after they came out

And the other season they had the Overdogs talent by accident 😄

[mighty ivy]

Oops. I was looking at the prototype weapon perks. Some look fun, bullets coming back to the mag, speeding up skill cool down, chance to give random elemental damage, but the chance is so fractional it’s laughable. Devs always seem so reluctant to give us the god feeling

[violet canyon]

if your doin DPS, echo is what you want

[mighty ivy]

Which is that one again?

[violet canyon]

double damage

[mighty ivy]

Earlier I was using turmoil with striker, and the Alejandro LMG while in solo. Echo does sound good then

I have quite a few prototypes so I’ll see if I missed it.

[twilit cipher]

anything but normal and im dead so fast it unreal how fast lol

[kind veldt]

you can stack them with multiple gear

[mighty ivy]

That is true.

Still tho it’s like 0.2% chance

[violet canyon]

you have to level the augments to increase the chance

[mighty ivy]

Yeah I usually just keep one of the prototype weapons in my second slot to level up

[stray lantern]

Wair, does NBA give 5 SHD levels per? Also, prototype aside, what's the new DPS meta to strive for (SMG/AR pls)

[violet canyon]

it costs cores after you fill up the xp bar

[mighty ivy]

Yeah. I didn’t have any until I logged in for this Sakura season thing, and the game randomly gave me 2

[edgy fable]

#td2-build-advice for your build questions

It'll be Striker's btw

[solar notch]

Are there any easy key farm methods that are not patched?

[glad gulch]

i swear to god people doing countdowns are so stupid cause i die everyone refuses to revive me and i try to spam RESPAWN but they complete the objective like theres no tomorrow forcing me to leave the mission i swear bro

[slender fox]

With all directives you get 3.18 m xp (4.5 SHD levels)

[glad gulch]

this typa shit happened to me every single countdown im on a 5 fail streak at this point

[unique bramble]

Have you tried staying alive

[glad gulch]

i only die once per mission and it always happens when the exfil objective appears

i swear im just unlucky bro

[slender fox]

reviver hive go brrr

[unique bramble]

Or you just not staying near the teammates

[glad gulch]

rubberbanding after getting blown up by a outcast forcing it to kill you to the flames go brrr

im js gonna block this playstation kid

[unique bramble]

Go ahead, it won't make you die less on countdown, we are just giving you tips.

[slender fox]

what build are you rockin

[glad gulch]

did you read anything i said when i said everyone who does countdowns is oblivious to people who die and they are just too focused on killing the enemies

[sullen swift]

anyone disconnect?

[glad gulch]

bluescreen 🤤 its a good build

[shrewd hound]

anyone else just get kicked Delta-3

[kind veldt]

#lfg-pc

[slender fox]

I mean dying in every countdown run is not normal

[unique bramble]

And I said that if you were close to your teammates and coordinate better, this make you die less so you won't have this issue of dying and the having players too focused to revive me problem.

[glad gulch]

its usually just unlucky timing when i get ran by a outcast bomber and i die to the flames

i wasnt saying i die in every countdown as in my build sucks its just that whenever i do die its somehow at the exact moment the no respawn gets activated which pisses me off everytime

[slender fox]

Im not saying anyhting but once or twice is unlucky...5 times is a pattern

[kind veldt]

then let someone run in front of you

[loud storm]

I swear the messed up proto drops gain since y'day.

I did the colab projects and finished all 3 then went to do escalation and i got put in qeueu as number +3800, wich sure can happen but then i ended up in australian server ( im europe) and after from the 3 colab project only the first one was was still completed other one 2/3 and other 0/3 and also took away the exo components. So sort of a roll back of 20/30min... and now where i got 7/8 protos now its 1 maybe 2 if i got lucky out of a crate

[real mortar]

38/40 lanterns cleansed..now to retrace my steps to figure out which 2 I missed

[latent folio]

Servers down?

[edgy fable]

Need to check manually

[burnt pasture]

finally got quickstep from the caches, this was a nice week

[edgy fable]

I heard that three lanterns reset daily, randomly to increase your chances

[rapid vortex]

Why is it so difficult to match make for escalation for the mission i want? Should not be this hard

[edgy fable]

It goes by tier and is not missions specific

What you can do tho is to ft to the mission directly, escalate it, get out of the menu and turn on mm. In most cases it works

[undone timber]

You used to be able to match for heroic to get placed in any escalation but I think they removed it

[toxic kayak]

What's happening with the servers? I always have high packet loss. oof.

[unique bramble]

People should start activating them by region because you can check if you activated correctly on tha region before the next area.

[glad gulch]

oh my god manny keeps saying "RETALIATION IN WEST POTOMAC PARK" i dont give a damn brooo

[old pawn]

Mine went down

[fallow grail]

same here on PC

[edgy fable]

I followed a YT guide and within three sessions I was done. Ez

[crimson imp]

WEN SERVER

[old pawn]

I’m on Xbox and it went down, was in the middle of an escalation run too 🙁

[latent folio]

Mines loading back up now

[fallow grail]

back online

[latent folio]

Same lol

[real mortar]

Yeah lol. Thought I was staying on top of it all lol.

[real mortar]

Congrats, game changer!

[remote spade]

What's the bare minimum expertise level that I should be for solo Legendary?

[burnt pasture]

yup, time to zoom in retaliations... and get killed for it in the meanwhile

[old pawn]

Thanks

[median basin]

Does no one run master or sum

[edgy fable]

#lfg-playstation

[celest maple]

you need a good build to even do a solo legendary imo

[median basin]

Ppl ain’t responding in there

[edgy fable]

Join the Division 2 community discord and the GCROCK discord to find more ppl to LFG with

[median basin]

Can u send me inv link to the community one

[edgy fable]

No, Google will help you

[spring flax]

im looking for someone who has the huntman bounty

[sullen viper]

i think all in if they wouldnt have added prototype the game would be better rn, it doesent add a meaningful grind for veteran players, and its almost pointless to do for new players

[edgy fable]

#lfg-pc

[spring flax]

i missed the quickstep event and i want the pistol badly

[sullen viper]

just kill ronin

[mighty creek]

Just keep opening the event gear cache.

Event still on going for more than 2 weeks. You'll get it.

[devout elbow]

ronin doesn't drop named items

[spring flax]

where is ronin

[sullen viper]

i mean the caches obv

[edgy fable]

Caches...

[sullen viper]

anywhere in the open world

[mighty creek]

Everywhere. Stick around and find out.

[spring flax]

is there a better way of finding em or is it rng

[sullen viper]

no?

[devout elbow]

rng

[sullen viper]

you go into the open world, you kill them, you get keys, you open the caches, you hope for the loot, repeat

[mighty creek]

Rng, they patched the glitch or bug in regard to Ronin spawnrate. Though they increased the key droprate.

[spring flax]

thank you guys im just getting back into the game and had no idea about all the new stuff

[wet heath]

my second gear cache also had another first bloom prototype lol

[sullen viper]

theres an event tab ingame that tells you everything you need to know thats going on rn

[devout elbow]

wasn't talking to u...

[modest mango]

Hey a quick question, how many games of countdown needs to be full proficient a gearset

[spring flax]

oh you mean the news tab? i see it but never know what and where to get the caches or whatever

[sullen viper]

also if you are returning rn, if you do retaliations you can get some raid exotics and past season exotic blueprints

[mighty creek]

During the expertise surge event, which gives triple multiplier, i only need 2 runs from level 0 to fully proficient.

[sullen viper]

expertise really is the worst thing they added to the game imo

[mighty creek]

Yep

[spring flax]

where do you do the retaliations i cant see them on my map?

[modest mango]

So now probably 4/5?

[brave idol]

At least 10 i would say

[mighty creek]

Maybe. If its level 9, just use materials to donate.

[remote spade]

I mean I have a maxed out Strikers build already

[modest mango]

Yikes

[remote spade]

And I can just throw Lexington/First Bloom on there

[sullen viper]

on the map at the top there are tabs for matchmaking and stuff like that, there should be one for retaliation, you can also matchmake with other people on the matchmaking tab for retaliations to make them a bit easier

[spring flax]

interesting i can matchmake for it but that's it i think

[regal galleon]

To get the blueprints for hollow man mask you have to farm retal for watch pieces then buy the caches for $50K and hope you get lucky? And have yahl gear parts to craft?

[sullen viper]

no when you open your map, at the top you see legend, conflict, projects, there is a tab for retaliation

[whole knoll]

Does anyone have an ideia of how many prototype cores are required to fully level up a prototype augment?

[mighty creek]

Take it easy for now. If you're wondering, there are 2 events that are good when it comes to expertise grinding. First the expertise surge as i mentioned earlier, the second one is double material gain when you deconstruct an item. At this time, you should grind for printer filaments which is from gearmods. Then use it to donate stuff in expertise.

[spring flax]

yea i dont have that tab i have everything else though

[broken hinge]

stuck at 34 lanterns but i think i clicked all of them. i did join a call for backup that was clicking lanterns, is that why?

[spring flax]

what other ways is there to get named caches? i had 2 in my inv but idk how i got em

[mystic galleon]

Hey can anyone run me through raid one day

[mighty creek]

#lfg-raid-pc

[edgy fable]

Countdown and Retaliations work well

[mystic galleon]

@mighty creek tyy

[humble pond]

Who do I have to please to get the ezio outfit

[edgy fable]

#1380194318786232360 beg there

[humble pond]

🥺🥺😭

[humble pond]

😏

[mighty creek]

Now that I think about it, how many event boosts are there in one season? We got:

• Descent surge
• Expertise surge
• SHD Level surge (Ongoing)
• Optimization surge (Upcoming)
• Conflict surge (Upcoming)
• Material surge (Unconfirmed)
• Countdown surge (Uncofirmed)

[mystic galleon]

ANY good clans that axtually help play with eachother .... The 2 i was in they just dwleted it after 6 months

[modest mango]

So the best way for now is to donate my junk and farm for mods to make them filaments and donate them too?

[cinder nacelle]

Is there a way to report people if you're no longer in the instance with them?

[mystic galleon]

Wow yea i work 4 on 4 off i play alot w randoms that made new toons or just started n wipe alot

I dont care about wipes i wiped on groups 2

[edgy fable]

Is there no "recently played with" option in the Xbox social menu?

[mighty creek]

If you want to dedicate yourself to grinding expertise, focus on Gearsets and Brandsets first. Once they're all done except Yaahl and System Corruption since those two sets are rarely found, look for someone who can host Houndsman bounty farm for named items. Once thats also done, farm gearmods and deconstruct every single one of them to get Printer Filaments, use it to donate stuffs that are difficult to be proficient in. Like skills or useless exotics for example.

[crystal ferry]

is anyone else having CTDs for no reason?

[cinder nacelle]

That doesn't work unfortunately. I have their usernames since I recorded the incident but I can't see a way to make a report to Ubisoft without them being in the instance with me...

[mighty creek]

You can report players from their customer service i think.

[mystic galleon]

But just hate wgen really trying n ppl w nane callin n say tgats so easy i. Not on 9 hrs a day i still trying unlock the specs lool i only expertise 7 i just came back before winter

But ty!

[mighty creek]

Just create a support ticket.

[edgy fable]

If you have a clip go via Ubisoft support ticket on their homepage

[modest mango]

I don't feel i have a choice for something else now, so this is my goal to grind expertise. Okay so i will make a loadout of every gearset and i will go to countdown and set my target loot for mods.

[frosty tartan]

Just got my first prototype piece. Its a bad roll from a green set I've never seen used ? Do I break it down ?

[mighty creek]

Uh... I dont think thats effective.

[edgy fable]

I wanted to farm Česká after last night's reset but ended up everywhere else. Got me a decent 32 proto cores

[cinder nacelle]

Ah right I found it. Thanks, @edgy fable and @mighty creek !

[mighty creek]

Np

[signal dagger]

I'd suggest waiting next week if you don't need any core rn. There's gonna be an optimization event - and it's possible, though nothing confirmed it, that proto core could maybe be 2 instead of 1.

[mighty creek]

What do you get from deconstructing an exotic item?

[signal dagger]

2 exo comp ?

[mighty creek]

Ah so its included.

[signal dagger]

Exo is included for sure, but as proto is new, we can't be 100% sure for now.

[mighty creek]

@modest mango Remember what I said earlier.

[signal dagger]

In theory, proto core is an optimization material but it's gonna be insane if they double drop lol.

[brave idol]

Exo was not in optimization suge

[mighty creek]

Focus on stuffs that are difficult to be proficient in. Farm gearmods and deconstruct every time you found then donate all the materials.

[brave idol]

It is not used for optimization. Shd and frd mainly

[brave idol]

No it is not

[mighty creek]

Dont mind me, I was talking to someone else about expertise grind.

[signal dagger]

Last time it was ? I've got 2 exos comp each 🤔 Or maybe I'm actually thinking of the wrong event ? Don't think there's another similar.

[brave idol]

Thet was not optimization

[signal dagger]

What is it then ? 🤔

[brave idol]

Expertiseci think?

[ruby lynx]

Is anyone seeing lag or connection issues?

[pearl flint]

What should I b focusing on as a lvl 70 watch returning player? I don’t even have a build yet

[modest mango]

Okay i wll focus on mods then only to stack up fillaments and use them on hard found things and skills maybe

[brave idol]

optimzation event focuses on materials that comes out optimization caches

[median field]

genuinely how did massive fumble the character models and cosmetics this fugging badly

[mighty creek]

Good luck to us all. Im still grinding expertise. Currently level 24.

[signal dagger]

No, I farmed this last one and didn't got any double exo comp on it. I remember it was before my break, and I'm absolutely sure an event gave me that. I could say I may be wrong with the event exactly though, but I'm 100% sure we had something like that - so I though it was optimization one.

[brave idol]

it was called expertise event

you use exos for increasing expertise of gear

[modest mango]

Im almost 6 and i start 2 days ago and i feel like is a decade haha, thanks a lot for the help.

[mighty creek]

Np

[signal dagger]

Nah, I mean I get 2 exo comp from decraft, not anything related from expertise of gear. Just comps.

[brave idol]

bro you dont listen

you were getting 2 exos for deconstructing an exotic gear.

doubling any material used for expertise

now you will get double any material used for optimixation

[signal dagger]

I listen lol but I don't get the link between exo comp and expertise 😅 Maybe I miss something cause english isn't my first langage lol

[brave idol]

you use exotic materials to increase ezperrtise of the wepans/gear

you increae proficienct of weapons/gear to increase your overall expertise level

[turbid wedge]

Is there anywhere to view which Safe House Project Bounties for the achievement I've done?

[fallen jacinth]

You need 45 exo comps to upgrade an item to 30 expertise, it starts costing exos after rank 12

[signal dagger]

Ahhhhh yeah ok I didn't understand it like that. I was tunneled vision on leveling overall expertise level and didn't get it, but you were talking of individual lvl up. I'm just dumb xd

[brave idol]

No worries. There was an event for that as well. Proficiency event. It can be confusing

[signal dagger]

I see. Yeah english terms are sometimes when they are specific lol. I get what you're saying. Sorry 😅

[fallen jacinth]

The terminology isn't immediately clear and it's layered systems on systems on systems, don't worry

[median field]

is the strat to level items using mats and componants rather than using the gear pieces?

[signal dagger]

Yup and then I missmatched proficiency and expertise event lol. Kinda weird terminology tbh xD

[unique bramble]

Wrong channel

lfg-playstation, I'm not gonna #it, you can find it.

[acoustic flare]

is the community cache bugged? I cant claim it its greyed out

I donated 5 keys or do i have to donate 20?

[dreamy crescent]

1 for the community rewards, the rest are for Patches if you want them. try relogging

[acoustic flare]

I tried its still greyed out

gonna restart the game to see

[dreamy crescent]

double check your inventory to see if you already have the samurai outfit and gloves, the next milestone its the mask

[rapid cradle]

Seriously what is wrong with people who join an Escalation, start it and then leave

[brave idol]

So far they gave.2 items. If you took them already it will be greyed out

[median field]

genuinely so happy massive didn't get a single penny for those atrocious cosmetics, because of the original farming bug

[dreamy crescent]

👁️ 👄 👁️

[median field]

dude in what world would anyone buy a sakura key

even with the bug gone getting 30 keys is light work, and not even worth it imo

[dreamy crescent]

that's why it's optional.

if you don't like the cosmetics, don't buy or waste keys on them. just go for Exotics and seasonal gear.

[median field]

if they included it, it's because they anticipated people would open their wallets

idk i'm kind of having a cosmetics crisis with this game at the moment my bad

[dreamy crescent]

alot of people with extra chump change always do 👀 they even buy the whole battle pass because why not

[kind veldt]

its usually people who dnt have time or get in late

[median field]

battlepass is different tho, exclusive rewards you don't have access to without spending the money

[dreamy crescent]

same scenario though? exclusive event rewards that you have an option to buy 👁️ 🫦 👁️

[median field]

not really? everything in the current event you can earn without spending a dime, no exclusive rewards

[dreamy crescent]

i see your frustrations though, i only like what 2 or 3 of the cosmetics from that lot of 30 pieces

[median field]

Yeah they're not great

[cursive sphinx]

Rogue agents being in escalation is dumb

[median field]

overall the cosmetics in this game are pretty dogwater

[brave idol]

Well yeah some of us want to support the company that does the game we love

[dreamy crescent]

when the event ends they are gone, so its kinda exclusive in ways.

[unique bramble]

The game is from 2019, it's not so bad on cosmetic aspect.

[dreamy crescent]

theres event items i missed from years of playing on and off that i missed out on and would love to spend money to buy them lmao.

[median field]

i respect that, but at some point i draw the line when the majority of what you put out is half assed

*with cosmetics, not mechanics

[brave idol]

I also like to think I support de velopment of division 3

[dreamy crescent]

i think they did pretty good with the Theme of the event cosmetic wise, just not my cup of tea. alot of people just love the tactical swat look or casual with a gun.

[median field]

disagree, D1 has customization miles ahead of D2, GR wildlands and breakpoint also have much better options available, alongside actually good looking character models

[median field]

Again i respect that.

really my gripe is that almost everything available is pretty lackluster, and the entire mechanics revolving around cosmetics with apparel caches and textiles is braindead

sorry i just needed to vent that out lmao

[midnight dust]

what is nba

[undone timber]

In seriousness, National Bond Armory, it's a classified assignment

[wintry wraith]

[remote creek]

How the heck kitsu whatever their name Know my exact location better than I do and always seem to hunt me down when I least expected it's like I'm evading IRS or something?

[shut widget]

Is there a recommended escalation tier for a solo player to farm for prototype drops? So far Ive completed tier 0 and 1, but not prototype drops so far.

Ran each about 6 times yesterday but no drops

[midnight dust]

thanks

[unique bramble]

They are programed to always have player aggro on spawn.

[remote creek]

Sadness

[urban spear]

t3 to t5 is sweet spot. for many it seems. idk bout solo.
plus.. rng is a ass a lot of times

[mighty ivy]

Just did camp white oak escalation tier 2 and got 4 protos. 1 from a chest

Madness. All before the boss

[lost sage]
