[rancid echo]

good to know, i had 70 dz resource that went fown the drain for fast travelling

[kind veldt]

i mean you can do the mission once

and it's fun

[tropic portal]

jesus, didn't check the reward list in detail. thanks for the tip

[feral knoll]

the double ticks of hollow point and pesti are amusing.

[kind veldt]

can use vile also

it's very silly, works if solo

[feral knoll]

yeah for triple tick

[tawdry timber]

Add some fire to the mix and we cooking

[feral knoll]

pesti fire rate is nuts, lol. I mean it's not optimal with OD but it's still hilarious.

[hybrid ore]

Just a heads up, Pesti doesn't actually benefit OD, as the Pesti is weapon damage, not status damage.

I know, "pestilence" as a name is needlessly confusing.

[feral knoll]

am aware, yeah, it's more I find it hilarious. Heroic open world so a sharp pencil is effective to be fair.

[hybrid ore]

There is that, but "effective" and "optimal" are a pretty wide divide.
Plus, I like having my setup Proto ready for when I get Trapper on the last few bits, and it's always been my go-to for Master diff.

(Tink OD that is)

[feral knoll]

for sure, hence why I said effective vs optimal. Game should at times be fun, otherwise what even is the point.

[vivid coyote]

Where do i get started with the endgame?

I was slowly leveling up but i just made a level 40 character because its feels kinda lonley and dead in the campaign.

[hoary glade]

Build sets, grind for it, expertise to 30, get proto

Oh yeah also at least reach shd 2000 to get the maximum stat benefits from the watch

[hybrid ore]

(technically 1k is fine for stats, 2k is just that health bonus which is 🥀 )

[hoary glade]

Fair

Currently 1.2k shd, already have 6 set builds that i use in legendary difficulty. Thanks to bombing questions in this server lmao

[vivid coyote]

how overwhelming is this gonna be?

[kind veldt]

dont rush and it's fine

builds are easy to get, you will have plenty of exotics to chase that are easy to get by just playing

PVP and expertise are the things that take a long time to setup

[hoary glade]

Time consuming, took me a month and a half to reach this level but you dont have to rush for it. You can ask people here

[mint aspen]

Go in conflict and use a status build as well, you’ll receive plenty of heartwarming messages.

[vivid coyote]

Not really intrested in PvP

i just turn into a RAT when i do.

[hoary glade]

Even blessings that will run through generations in the family ❤️

[feral knoll]

Yes. That said, there's a lot to do and experience will come.

[hoary glade]

That's alright pvp is completely optional

Getting set builds is easy, just play some countdown or summit. And you'll have it. The hardest part for me right now is getting expertise to 30,

[mint aspen]

Get a striker build and explore content. Once your comfortable with things then try out new builds and more variety content imo

[hoary glade]

Sniper builds is a must have for heroic control points ngl

Especially with the modifiers for this season

[mint aspen]

Last time I used snipers was probably on hotshots release 😔

Or when 3/4 piece aces was the best way to go lol

[vivid coyote]

Soo where do i grind a "Striker" build?

[mint aspen]

Countdown/summit

[lofty surge]

99% of drops countdown is the undisputed best way to farm it

[hoary glade]

Map > Go countdown > select targeted loot to Strikers > Start

[vivid coyote]

Oh? So its pretty straightfoward?

[lofty surge]

if it can drop in countdown (most things do), you should get it from countdown

[vivid coyote]

IM NOT GONNA HAVE TO DO SOME BULLSHIT OSRS OR WARFRAME SHIT RIGHT?

[hoary glade]

Pretty much, the convenience of having targeted loot drops

[lofty surge]

no lol its not that bad, just follow your teammates and do what they do, queue Challenging difficulty

[mint aspen]

It’s group content but don’t worry. Follow the cluster of players do the objectives and do NOT call the extraction at the end.

[hoary glade]

coming from warframe what i can say is this is like

1 to 10 in terms of grinding
1 for Division
10 for Warframe

[lofty surge]

division does not have any insanity like eidolon hunts. cracking the enigma code in ww2 is simpler than figuring out how to hunt eidolons

[feral knoll]

Countdown is basically a group event; 3 areas to clear, work in two groups of four; so just follow where people are going. You can select the loot to target, which covers majority of gear and sets/ weapon types.

[vivid coyote]

IT WASNT THE GRINDING.
It was the stupid ass shit that made me do 150 things to do the content i wanted to run

[hoary glade]

And you'd have 7 other people carry you

[hoary glade]

I can assure you it will never be like that 100%

[vivid coyote]

If its just gridning i might be alright here,
I just can't take
Do this> Do this> Do this> Do this> Do this> Do this> Do this> Do this> Do this> Do this> Do this> Do this>Do this> Do this> Do this> Do this> Do this>Do this> Do this> Do this>Do this>Do this>Do this>Do this> GOAL

[hoary glade]

Unless you're doing incursion and raids

[lofty surge]

if you want absolutely min-maxed strikers equipment it will take a TON of countdown runs ngl, but if you just want some standard "it works" equipment you'll have it all in like 2 runs

[tough bluff]

Does anyone have the houndsman bounty? Help a fella get the quickstep pistol

[flat forge]

just fill out your recalibration library first

[hoary glade]

It gets easier too when you have the blue prints for mats

[mint aspen]

Tbh he can just run the striker build for incursion and probably be overqualified

[hoary glade]

@vivid coyote just make sure you deconstruct un needed item

[flat forge]

you should be donating to expertise first

[hoary glade]

Fair but thats only if someone else plays the healer and tank roles.

[flat forge]

in incursion and raids first timers wont play those roles anyway

[hoary glade]

Having 4 dps in incursion is asking for a death sentence

[lofty surge]

i love healer in this game. just sitting in the back shootin chem launchers at people. what a relaxed life lol

[hoary glade]

Hives <

[mint aspen]

I feel so useful but lazy

[feral knoll]

prioity objectives just being missions and stronghold 24/7 is starting to get annoying. I have had like 1 open world objective, and exhaust re-rolling with no cycling. There's an open world event on. But no, go run a mission again because that's what all 3 are.

[mint aspen]

Or when the priority objectives only reward materials

[hoary glade]

Apparels as rewards when

[mint aspen]

Dream on

[lofty surge]

it wouldve been really nice if they just made the kitsune and ronin spawn in all content. why only open world? why do i have to restrict myself out of really playing the game? it just seems silly

[feral knoll]

Prio has not been showing almost any open world stuff this entire 3 week event.

[hoary glade]

Still waiting for the discounted premium currency to drip my character again

[hoary glade]

Or replace the rogue agent events with ronin and fox

[mint aspen]

Honestly my problem is that they only spawn in DC. I spend most of my time in Brooklyn 💔

[hoary glade]

Why even

[mint aspen]

I’m trying to get commendations + I like the map a lot more

Recently I found myself completely unsure what to do in the game, so I decided to aim for Byzantine mask…

[hoary glade]

I want the perfect bloodsucker backpack so bad

[vivid coyote]

For Mats?

[lofty surge]

yes but donate to expertise first, its more worth unless u really need mats for something

[vivid coyote]

What is expertise?

[tough citrus]

I got an oh carol as well lol

And ur cooler is in ur stash check it

[vivid coyote]

Sorry for all the questions

[lofty surge]

np, its basically just mastery of a weapon, the higher your expertise is on a weapon the stronger it is and the more u can do with it

well not just weapons gear too

[hoary glade]

Max is expertise 30

[vivid coyote]

Oh so its spefically for weapons/gear
Not a skill sort of thing.

[hoary glade]

30% weapon damage and 30% armor

[mint aspen]

Skills are included

[vivid coyote]

[flat forge]

btw dont waste expertise on armour unless you get to 30

[hoary glade]

Skills included, you can have a drone and turret deal 250k+ per tick

[flat forge]

you can do this without exxpertise

[hoary glade]

Fair

[mint aspen]

30% more dmg reduction on defender drone is incredible

And the 30% more bonus armour with Smart Cover

[flat forge]

in general for early endgame players just dont worry about the expertise stuff yet. Get a basic striker builld, Gather max rolls and talents for recalibration library and donate junk in the expertise menu

[vivid coyote]

👍

[hoary glade]

Imagine if they give turrets and drones ROF stat

[brave idol]

Liquid engineer? What for?

[feral knoll]

excellent, so they'd be even better at killing players who drop in front of hunters.

[hoary glade]

Trynna do a high end build

2 pc Belstone
2 pc United Alloys
1 fenris
Overdogs

May not be as strong as strikes but it will probably good as a sustain build in solo content

[brave idol]

I have a build that uses liquid engineer

[edgy fable]

Bloodsucker solo is fine. For group play pick a damage talent however

[brave idol]

Not good though

Use adrenaline rush instead

[hoary glade]

My build focuses on using AR

[edgy fable]

You should drop the 1pc Fenris for 1pc GS

You'll have too much WD and not enough CHD

[brave idol]

Eagle bearer?

[hoary glade]

Probably gonna pray for a double red liquid engineer so I'd only need to change the core attribute

[hoary glade]

Noted I'll see how it goes

[hoary glade]

Either that or bighorn

[edgy fable]

I know how it goes, hence I'm giving you that advice

[hoary glade]

Okay, GS with what stats?

[edgy fable]

CHC CHD ofc

[hoary glade]

What's the first perk for GS again

[edgy fable]

13% CHD intrinsic

[hoary glade]

Ohhhh, alright I'll add that to my list

For now im grinding for the named Belstone backpack, 3 days no drop

[edgy fable]

You are better off farming its blueprint through Retaliations

[hoary glade]

Sadly no luck yet

[edgy fable]

a) getting one to drop regardless of the source is rare AF
b) if one drops I can guarantee you that it will not be CHC and CHD right away

[hoary glade]

Fair that's why im praying 100%

[edgy fable]

So to make the most of your time just farm its crafting blueprint

[brave idol]

I get a liquid engineer with chc and chd but i was not looking for one

[feral knoll]

Kitsunebi keep spawning inside closed off buildings; if that's not the most irritating part of the current event.

[edgy fable]

That and the insta despawns

[feral knoll]

They want keys, for event, then have the squads spawning outside of the usual spawn closets which causes pathing issues.

[brave idol]

Why are people worried about this event that much? The drops are nothing special

[feral knoll]

"why do people want to play a given event, it's not that special" is certainly a take.

[brave idol]

Well yeah it's been repeated multiple times in the last 6 months

[lofty surge]

the lexington bro. it pissed me off SO much when i first got the game and i just wasnt allowed to get it by any means

[brave idol]

I started in December 6 months ago and already have more than 10 and deconstructed more. This is not 2023 anymore they have been giving elxingtons like candy

[lofty surge]

i started long before 6 months ago and took a long break this is the first i heard of it being obtainable again

limited time FOMO items are lame game design. i dont care how bad you make the grind so long as the grind exists

[lean breach]

for me, I've played this game since it came out. the events are just something new. yeah i know its the same BS over and over but shhh its a new event dang it hahah jsut something to brake the grind yeah know..?

[clear sapphire]

just realized i had god rolled strikers gear in my backpack

well that was ez

im doing so much damage rn

lol so now i have a tipping scale + Blue screen, CoCO + Pestilence and Strikers.

Im gonna try Negotiator's dilemma next. maybe

im just going off the build spread sheet we have here. its really nice

[feral knoll]

trying to figure if (other than carnage, which is a bit of a rodeo to use) if there's a better LMG option over Bluescreen for OD.

I mean there's big al, I guess.

[clear sapphire]

bro strikers just melt these enemies on heroic. wtf?

[native pendant]

I wish there was a way to turn off killing animals. I hate that I accidently kill dogs.

[tough bluff]

Can anyone reccommend a good way to farm for Bluescreen? Been doing a fair bit of countdown and summit, its holding out on me lol

[clear sapphire]

try summit i guess. my last clan gave it to me max rolled

[undone timber]

Alternatively farm the blueprint from retals

[feral knoll]

check retaliation, one of the factions drops the blueprint for it.

[tough bluff]

I only just started div back up no idea how to do retaliations

[severe osprey]

Need help aquiring quick step pistal pleae

[brave idol]

Priority objectices that gives exotics and countdown comms for exotic chests

[brave idol]

Open sakura chests

[feral knoll]

eh, I'll chuck carnage back on again I feel.

[severe osprey]

where do i do that?

wait there outside of base

[dawn hawk]

did they remove loot gobin

[kind veldt]

still exists

[hybrid ore]

@storm arch You can find people to join your clan down in #td2-clan-recruitment, make sure you follow the 📌 pinned formatting rules in this channel.
GL Agent

[polar thorn]

Good morning, agents.

[edgy fable]

Sup

[zealous hollow]

anyone know for the event when u get the special outfit and emote for getting all 30 cosmetic items?

[undone timber]

The emote is when you get all 30

The bonus outfit is through the community challenge which we haven't done yet iirc but we're on target

[feral knoll]

3 evaded in a row, I think it's time to put the game aside and do something else for a few days.

Basically if Kitsunabi spawn in and you can't hear them shouting then it's a failed spawn as they are inside a space that is unnavigable and they instantly despawn.

they seem to have bad compression as I've seen an entire 6 man BTSU squad complete with two chungus pour out the back of a rental truck. But apparently wirey outcast dudes who use bows can't all fit in the same truck.

[edgy fable]

lol

[polar thorn]

"Try Not To Evade : Impossible Difficulty"

[feral knoll]

"what if we use non-standard spawn locations instead of closets?" sure why not. I mean I get that the terrain can sometimes be a bit challenging for AI, but they spawn these things inside dead zones on the map that nothing can get in or out of.

[astral hornet]

Hey if I opened some caches but my inventory was full and they dropped on the ground right as the server was restarting can I still get that stuff? Asking for a friend and definitely not myself

[edgy fable]

They might end up in your mailbox

[undone timber]

If they were on the ground I really doubt it

[edgy fable]

I sometimes get caches sent to mine during XP events when I get a level-up from finishing a mission and fast travel out, not sure

[hoary glade]

Will forever be thankful for the true sons and hyenas for protecting me from the kitsu kill squads ❤️

[gray flame]

what's the escalation targeted gear rn

[edgy fable]

Check pins again lol

[polar thorn]

"We will attack from the manhole an- wait, that guy has full prototype gears!? ABORT THE MISSION"

[opal marsh]

I love how the Kitsunebi shared health pool "buff" kinda backfires as you can just treat it like a pre-applied Negotiator's Dilemma mark. I just end up lasering the chunga and everyone else falls

kinda satisfying ngl

[edgy fable]

Frenzy on LMG and there you go

[polar thorn]

speaking of ND, anyone got good rolls from the escalation?

[feral knoll]

yep, love the chungus spawning; just hose the guy down and all their mates just keel over.

[opaque lion]

never got rolls that satisfied my builds, some God Rolls yes but they're on pieces that I can't use or just straight up the wrong stats

[undone timber]

Got plenty of crit pieces back when JTC was TL

[opal marsh]

I just don’t even bother farming targeted proto loot. Almost all of it is completely useless in practice, and since proto gear is so half baked, can’t be tweaked to actually be useful

Much more effective to upgrade an expertise 30 piece with the attributes you want

[feral knoll]

that is very true if at EXP 30, somewhat irrelevant if not.

[undone timber]

Wdym I farmed full sets of OD and ND the other day😭

TL alone makes it SO much easier to get good stuff

[opal marsh]

But at that point it's better to just spend your time grinding for expertise level 30 rather than farming targeted escalation

[edgy fable]

Got any good rolls?

[undone timber]

Only kept crit and still have plenty

Had to crunch some even for space if they had bad augments 😭

[feral knoll]

I would argue that that is possible in parallel; I already have a couple pieces of proto gear that are of benefit now, and I can replace once am at expertise 30; the last few levels are very slow, as is well known.

[polar thorn]

The game hates me getting good stuff I guess.

[hybrid ore]

Ran a DCD and got electrique, overlord, and a p416.
the odds to get 2 non TL are honestly impressive enough to ignore the fact that the one TL had explosive resistance and atomise 🥀

[edgy fable]

I got like 20 Electrique proto drops over several runs but not a single piece with status effects

[opal marsh]

I'm just less of an RNG enjoyer tbf
I'd rather spend more time for a higher chance of what I want than gamble immediately

[remote lynx]

Same here. No luck when it comes to proto items. Only a proto bloom

[polar thorn]

if raiding other players base is possible, you're going in my list

[feral knoll]

The benefit of already being at expertise 30 is that you don't have to think about expertise 30. So a bit of a blind spot.

[undone timber]

I've been doing JTC instead of DCD today

[hybrid ore]

You'll never find my secret safehouse out in DC!

[undone timber]

Rarely use breaking point but more useful to me

[feral knoll]

I managed 2 all red OD items which were a net gain, even if not remotely optimised.

[hybrid ore]

are you at your.....breaking point?

[opal marsh]

I went from expertise 1-30 in only a few months. It isn't that bad if you do it optimally

[lofty surge]

does division 2 on steam have family sharing does anyone know !?

[opaque lion]

the complication comes with Uplay

[remote lynx]

Pun intended?

[lofty surge]

oh ya thats right. dang. ive been trying to get my friend to pick it up but hes super reluctant

[feral knoll]

Yes because a sample size of one is relevant to all. You do you, it's all good. I'll do what works for me. 😉

[cloud badge]

I hope the division 3 gives us the option to choose if we want the hood down or up on hoodies and coats

[opaque lion]

like every game should be okay with Family Sharing unless it has it's own external launcher like this game

[opal marsh]

Agreed

[polar thorn]

That would be a good challenge, I'll accept the terms.

[undone timber]

Funnily enough yes

[hybrid ore]

I honestly don't think I've ever used Breaking Point in a build before.

[undone timber]

I have gotten enough HSD bags to feed 20,000 but for obvious reasons they're all useless anyway

[hybrid ore]

like, never.

[undone timber]

Specifically only as a stat stick for 1886 builds

[feral knoll]

Anyway, time for coffee.

[opaque lion]

Ravenous + Breaking Point might work idk

[opal marsh]

I kinda want to make a Breaking Point build almost solely because I NEVER see it in the wild

[opal marsh]

Same with Virtuoso

[undone timber]

Most using it are farming solo

[opaque lion]

Virtuoso was pretty neat when it was introduced

[hybrid ore]

I do have the parts to make one, mighe be fun.
kinda wanna finish my OD proto setup first.

[undone timber]

It was at dcd or something yesterday rip

[hybrid ore]

Got like 20 parts then, well, got 20 cores at least.

[polar thorn]

Anyone wanna bet today is gonna be striker or tipping scale for loot allocation?

[opal marsh]

lmao

[undone timber]

I was getting crit left and right😭

[zealous herald]

anyone make use of core strength? suggestion on builds?

[hybrid ore]

Nothing but blues.
its giving me them, and also making me feel them!

[undone timber]

It was harder for me to get crit ND weirdly enough and hsd breaking point

[dense fox]

Anyone able to help me farm some gear coming from Xbox to Pc

[hybrid ore]

PvP builds only, allegedly.
Try asking down in #td2-pvp-discussions for the people that'd know.

[grave skiff]

quick question new to the game and im wanting to get the walker and harris chest im not seeing it on the map im sure i need to wait for some sort of reset but just wanting to make sure its not somewhere im not seeing

[opal marsh]

What farming method?

[hybrid ore]

@dense fox You can find a hand down in #lfg-pc, GL Agent

[polar thorn]

#lfg-pc try here for Houndsman

[dawn hawk]

who drops the hearvet

[zealous herald]

@grave skiff just do retaliations and farm for it specifically or summit

[dense fox]

Anything really only got a few hours in so far

[polar thorn]

Way too early, brother.

[opal marsh]

Limited time events and named caches iirc
Farm the sakura gear caches

[opal marsh]

You level 40?

[dense fox]

Yes

[dawn hawk]

loot gobin

[polar thorn]

what the- oh, probably boosted.

Well, do Countdown or find someone with Houndsman

[opal marsh]

/invite Arachniteer
I can help for a bit if you want

[polar thorn]

Hell, imma grind lots of Houndsman if next loot allocation is garbo

[dense fox]

Will do

Sent

[opal marsh]

(btw you can just type "/invite [username]" in chat and it'll send a group invite)

[frozen nebula]

Good night a question someone will know the location of the 3 daily lanterns

[edgy fable]

It's random from what I know

[dawn hawk]

why in liberty all over the place when i shoot

[agile gyro]

wat.

[frozen nebula]

Imagine someone found them and would share them

[dawn hawk]

when i shoot it gos left tyo right

[hybrid ore]

@frozen nebula It's almost certainly person-specific.
You can ask over in #lfg-xbox

[dawn hawk]

like no control

[agile gyro]

I can't tell if I'm too tired or I'm too stupid to read this question

Probably a mixture of both.

[hybrid ore]

I think they're asking about the Liberty Exotic pistol and it's....idk low stability or something?

I'm at the firing-range, gimme a sec to check.

[dawn hawk]

full stability

[agile gyro]

I've never used liberty even though I got like 6 of them, but I can't check ingame since I'm not on.

First time I'm hearing of someone complain about it though lol

[hybrid ore]

huh that is weird, it does seem to be kicking to the side.

like, wildly.

[dawn hawk]

see

[agile gyro]

So either A. its bugged or B. thats the way the pistol is intended and it sucks. lol

[hybrid ore]

Okay so it's not every shot, it's a kinda weird pattern through the mag.

[undone timber]

I'm fairly sure this is a deagle thing in general

[agile gyro]

Liberty's a deagle?

[undone timber]

Has goofy recoil

[hybrid ore]

Yeah it's like the 3rd shot is fine, then kinda random after the next few, then kicks again.

[undone timber]

Yeah the base gun is a d50

[agile gyro]

All my years of division 2 and I'm just now realizing 💀

[hybrid ore]

I think this just shows how little people rely on the Liberty.

[dawn hawk]

Here are the specific reasons for this behavior:Intentional Balancing: Because the Liberty deals massive damage (up to 2 million+ body shots) and can be used with a shield, the developers implemented intense recoil and random side-to-side bounces to ensure it cannot be easily used as a laser-accurate hand cannon.Unique Recoil Pattern: While vertical recoil can be mitigated by stability stats, the Liberty's horizontal "hop" is fixed to jump randomly to either the left or right, regardless of your weapon handling stats.

[hybrid ore]

last time I actively used it, was vs Sparkle.

[agile gyro]

and I've never used it nor have I ever seen anyone use it 🤷

[undone timber]

A long time ago it seemed to be kind of popular with shield builds but now it's just dead

[polar thorn]

take your pills, gramps

[hybrid ore]

oh 100% back in the day it was a powerhouse.

[agile gyro]

I'll just cosplay a L4D character popping pills so its morally acceptable.

[hybrid ore]

The use of "in liberty" didn't help with understanding the initial question, it must be said.

[kind veldt]

D50 because its a semi auto pisto that hits harder than most revolvers has really funky recoil

[undone timber]

Harvest stole it's place as a headhunter weapon and tempest stole it's place as a car door weapon

[hybrid ore]

It also has terrible modding options, which really hurt its longevity.

the base d50 that is.

[neon crow]

Been wonderful for defib event

Used it for years

[polar thorn]

L4D&L4D2 collaboration when? I wanna go as Nick and curse on everything.

[jagged wadi]

[silent mural]

PC crashed in the middle of retal

[hybrid ore]

@raven pecan You're looking for #lfg-pc, GL Agent
Although right now it's also in the Event Gear Caches.

[raven pecan]

Oh nice thanks for the info. So its in the event caches right now ?

[hybrid ore]

Yep, specifically the "gear" one.

[agile pendant]

whats faster for exotic compo farm?? cd or retal?

[hybrid ore]

Honestly? Priority Objectives in between Countdown runs.
Do a Countdown when you run out of good options for it, and make sure you buy an Exotic Cache from the CD vendor.

Should be able to afford one every 2-3 CD runs. Stick to Challenging.

[grave skiff]

i wanna go for the handbasket someone in my lobby said trading ksunabe keys for crates thats the event thats up rn?

[polar thorn]

I really wish event Houndsman is back I don't mind grinding for gears but I need these named items.

[silent mural]

You...can't trade keys?? You can drop items sure but definitely not keys

[grave skiff]

@silent muraldrop items as in the enemies i kill drop em?

[flat forge]

he just means opening teh gear boxes with keys, which is true

[flat forge]

the gear crates you open with sakura keys can drop handbasket, yes. enemies wont drop it

[silent mural]

yeah but the wording got me confused 'cus there's definitely no trading system in the game lol

[grave skiff]

my b bro in my game said trading

how do i even start this event?

[polar thorn]

wat event

[obsidian atlas]

lvl40

[agile pendant]

just me or is stacking cham talent is a bit hard

[cosmic plover]

ubi need to let us make more loadouts and more apperal loadouts, so many builds and outfits i wanna save but have no space!😭

[lunar hare]

it is

[polar thorn]

Caped outfit when

[finite hedge]

what the hell is wrong with the servers... my internet's fine and i can't even finish one countdown

[feral knoll]

given there aren't like 300 people asking the same question, it may be more location/ you specific. Recommend not opening the last area chest in countdown tho, one or two locations seem to have a habit of punting people out.

[finite hedge]

i guess indonesia gets a bowl of piss instead of an actual functioning server

[feral knoll]

I'm in australia, and we share the same servers fella, I can usually play fine for hours.

[hybrid ore]

Ingame right now in Aus, no issues.

[finite hedge]

i'm not even at the end of countdown. i'm 2 hunters in and it gets disconnected.

i'll give it one more test run

[feral knoll]

"I should try a tipping scales + pestilence build" says I, checking the stash, to find I have like no TS gear at all.

[agile pendant]

aus is not a real place come plzz dont joke, psyop by the brits

[polar thorn]

Who knows, Tipping Scale might drop on DCD

[opal marsh]

why tf does this dogshit game not let me report a user or leave the group during an active escalation mission 😒

im not going through a whole escalation mission with a dude sexually harassing teammates over the mic

[feral knoll]

you can mute people.

[opal marsh]

nah, I'm not teaming up with scum like that

[vocal hamlet]

Anybody want to loot farm?

[opal marsh]

and the game wouldn't even let me report

[feral knoll]

nice, but no.

[toxic musk]

Shattered Hunter outfit:
And I suppose I have to acknowledge the Anubis outfit

[polar thorn]

Yeah, ubisoft doesn't introduce behavior score.

Like imagine having bad behavior will lead you into an NPCs team that will die before reaching the first objective

[polar thorn]

Saw someone did John Wick outfit and it's really good one.

[toxic musk]

That weirdly reminds me. I decided to snag the Theo outfit last night. So now the Faye outfit is GUARANTEED

[agile gyro]

Lf hazmat outfit

[feral knoll]

okaaaay, TS with Pestilence has promise.

[agile gyro]

so I can bring my OCD ingame.

[toxic musk]

I'm using it, it's alright tbh. I think I do prefer Big Al, though

[polar thorn]

Did you went for quick drink and accidentally opened up the store

[toxic musk]

There are no accidents. I have absolutely ZERO impulse control

[vestal sonnet]

my habitual reloader habits means i've been struggling with tipping scales, huge skill issue on my end

stacking also felt slow and by the time i got to the end of my lmg mag i'm stacked up and have to reload meaning i lose stacks (again probably skill issue)

[toxic musk]

Just force a guy to cower, boom. You get the reload habits AND keep damage

[agile pendant]

i just want the walker and ghost recon stuff back... i missed it

[vestal sonnet]

the ghost recon games were so fun

[agile gyro]

Me at 3 AM when I decide that I'm rich even though I'm really not.

[vestal sonnet]

i even played phantoms back when that was around

[toxic musk]

If I could I'd pass my Walker outfit along. Hate the Palpatine looking jacket

[toxic musk]

I look good, so I do good

[feral knoll]

jeez those pesti ticks.

[slim cave]

304
After the last maintenance when you enter the game you stay 2-3 minutes then you get kicked out with mike 01 or other errors. It happens every time. Another problem is that when you want to change the reroll augment the same augment appears and the peak three times in a row. It is nonsense or a joke. I also ask is it normal?

[polar thorn]

Don't chug too much Guinness.

[slim cave]

I asked the developers if there were any around here.

[opal marsh]

same here

[feral knoll]

ye, okay, this is not bad, ts+obliterate+pestilence

[vague mesa]

Ongoing directive + carnage + wicked ceska backpack and overdogs has been a fun LMG setup

hollow points go brrrr

[primal whale]

Lmg goes brrrrr

My favorite build lol

[feral knoll]

yep, has been what I have been running recently.

[vague mesa]

I didn’t think I would like using LMGs as much as I have been with this tbh

[primal whale]

My favorite lmg is the gr9

[vague mesa]

they’re easier to handle than I remember from some years ago

[primal whale]

I remember they used to have a lot more recoil

[feral knoll]

OD works nice with LMGs as they chew through ammo and the free hollow point is sweet.

[primal whale]

I can’t forget bullet king

[vague mesa]

I need an iron lung

[toxic musk]

My heart belongs to Big Al, I also adore those who use OD

[hybrid ore]

Sorry to hear about your Polio.

[toxic musk]

I audibly chuckled

[vague mesa]

I had one and was reconfiguring it but out of habit from crafting bad roll replicas I accidentally decon’d it

[primal whale]

Ah yes coughing badly when I’m playing the division 2

[dim coral]

Hi All, Anyone still got Houndsman Bounties, I'm looking for the Quickstep Pistol? Ty!

[vague mesa]

it’s a potential drop from the event gear cache

if you’re in no rush I’d try holding out until the event ends in case you get one from the caches, so that you don’t have to go through that annoying fight

[dim coral]

Ok, thx!

[primal whale]

Is the spring event good loot wise?

[vague mesa]

some of it is, seems first bloom is popular + there’s a chance at a Lexington

[primal whale]

I have a perfect Lexington already

[vague mesa]

I wish I could share the gear cache loot cause I actually got a second Lexington so I would’ve given it to a friend

[toxic musk]

You also get the almighty Prototype Oh Carol

[vague mesa]

ye they come god rolled apparently

[primal whale]

It’s all 15% each time

[vague mesa]

I got a prototype First Bloom from the caches but it was a not so useful augment

so it’s just sitting in my stash

[primal whale]

I got damage boost with damage from cover with armor damage boost

And vindictive

[vague mesa]

my first Lexington came with DTOC for the third which was perfect

[polar thorn]

wheezes

[primal whale]

I can’t wait to make a good build with it

[vague mesa]

ye I’ve looked at a few builds that use it, I just need the gear set pieces

[hybrid ore]

They actually all come pre-godrolled with dtooc.

[vague mesa]

ye I knew they came god rolled, I just didn’t know if the third was random

[hybrid ore]

The godroll is dtooc, so yep, all the same!

[vague mesa]

understandable

[primal whale]

Aren’t there special skins that come with it

I have the gold service skin I think

[opal marsh]

Only if you got a Lex when it first came out

[primal whale]

Ah so that explains why I have that

[vague mesa]

I also need to get ideally a Dark Winter but a regular vector .45 or 9mm with regular killer would be acceptable too

[hybrid ore]

"godroll" as a term in div2 means that an item has the ideal attribute+/talent already, with maxed out stats.
Worth keeping in mind if someone mentions it.

Dark Winter I love, but there's other options, and since it's Dark Zone locked, it may take a minute.

[primal whale]

Oooh dark winter I love that gun

[vague mesa]

oh it’s dark zone locked? I was not aware of that

like fully locked, not even named gear caches?

[hybrid ore]

You can get the blueprint from Reconstructed Caches via Retal, but the pool there is massive so.....good luck!

[primal whale]

I used to play dark zones during server downtimes

No one’s on during usual work hours because of people working

[hybrid ore]

Named Items in the Dark Zone can also drop in a Named Item cache, conflict, said reconstructed caches, and from the Countdown vendor. Unless I've forgotten one.

[primal whale]

Minimizes risk of people taking your stuff

[vague mesa]

I’ve been wanting to make a good dark zone build anyway so that’s fine by me tbh

Not sure what would be good for that though

[dusty tinsel]

does tier 6 escalation drop exotic component?

[hybrid ore]

There's some builds in the spreadsheet for PvP, I think they're still mostly fine.

@dusty tinsel Esclation doesn't specifically drop exotic components.

[vague mesa]

what spreadsheet

I’ve seen the gear spreadsheet but that’s just gear

[hybrid ore]

Check over in #td2-build-advice > 📌 > click the link for "spreadsheet 2" > builds. Those are the meta setups people will talk about on here.

[dusty tinsel]

I got one exotic component after escalation t6 but I'm not sure where it came from. I need all the exotic components I can get. I have plenty of cores but 45 exotic component per prototype upgrade is what gating me.

[vague mesa]

oh found it

[edgy fable]

Yeah it's mad annoying

[feral knoll]

hol-e-sheet, Kitsunabi squad, then elite patrol walked through the middle, then another squad with another patrol. I had forgotten what running out of ammo was (OD feeds ammo like candy).

[toxic musk]

Mmm. Spicy bullets

[agile gyro]

I think I just got into my first T4 escalation where no one can DPS besides one person 💀

[feral knoll]

TS with pestilence is certainly something, but I miss the hollow point.

[elfin hazel]

they should make it so targeted loot is all umbra

I thinks

[polar thorn]

what

[elfin hazel]

mask exuro legatus brazos assault rifles

[silent light]

The time has come

[signal marten]

AR at DCD. Not a drill i repeat not a drill

[silent light]

To arms!

[jagged shell]

Stranded Tanker can give me a longshot for a Hollow Mask.

I'm so cooked

[hidden quail]

AR at DCD huh?, idk if i wanna grind it, what ar other than lexi is good anyway

[hybrid ore]

Nope, that's still DZ locked.

[jagged shell]

I read that any piece of gear can drop in Escalation missions (as a proto)

[hybrid ore]

That would break some rules of how div2 functions pretty heavily, but if you have any kind of evidence, feel free to post it.

[jagged shell]

I'll look for it, someone posted about it earlier

[cobalt stirrup]

Anyone have a problem where they can't start a retaliation?

[hidden quail]

I still hate that a gear specifically for escalation mission is locked to DZ (hollowman)

[hybrid ore]

You can just farm Retal to get the blueprint, then craft it.
as for the yaahl mats: the clan vendor fairly regularly has them, just check at the start of each week.

[jagged shell]

Not a nailed on source but this has been observed before, I'll find a screenshot or something if I can

[hardy rover]

didnt the CD vendor literally just have dark winter like.. last week? lol

[agile gyro]

the CD vendor did lol

[hardy rover]

if you mean that other pieces of gear that arent the focus can drop as a proto, yes they can

[cobalt stirrup]

I have two factions filled at at least 100% but can't start any of them.

[jagged shell]

Yeah, I thought it was common knowledge for people running escalations regularly

[hybrid ore]

Yep, the CD vendor can randomly sell DZ named items, as it has the "named item cache" pool as part of its potential store loot.

but CD itself can not drop them.

[vestal sonnet]

do any open world activity for that faction and it should trigger the zones again (happened to me too)

[hardy rover]

i mean i did specifically say cd vendor, i also think it was a good one with all the stats you want on it so you can change the talent

[hybrid ore]

You can't change the talent, it's a named item with a perfect one.

and I always give the full info where possible, because a lot of people read this channel but don't say anything, so it's easier to get it out there in one.

[hardy rover]

its perfect killer iirc so its fine anyway

[jagged shell]

Just noticed its Brazos again, 2 days in a row

[hardy rover]

yeah BOOOOO, where is striker

[quick coyote]

Is there any danger of strikers being targeted loot somewhere/sometime? Any danger at all????

[jagged shell]

AR is a close 2nd

[hardy rover]

oh wait its ARs? maybe i should get on

[hardy rover]

yeah i hope not this coming weekend cuz im on vacation

[hybrid ore]

It was Strikers not that long ago, so RNG says it may be a while.

[hardy rover]

see id like to believe that but we had Umbra like 3 times this week

so who knows

[quick coyote]

better off grinding keys for a lexington. They seem to drop roughly once every 30 caches/keys

[hybrid ore]

To me that just says that it truly is random, which explains the gear mods being there, which can't have Proto drops.

[hardy rover]

i already have a few lexingtons anyway saved for when i get exp 30

[quick coyote]

yeah, but I missed it 😭

[hardy rover]

it would be more getting ARs for a tinkerer build or whatever

[hybrid ore]

Well it's AR today, so you're in luck.

[quick coyote]

exactly what I'm doing, saving lexingtons to prototype

[jagged shell]

Also AR is a big win for everyone who isn't EXP 30 yet

[hardy rover]

DCD getting all the juicy focuses wtf

[hybrid ore]

Just a general reminder to everyone: check the various vendors. They sell 1 Named Item per/week.
You can buy 20 copies of it, and have it Proficient.

[dawn hawk]

what gun make you skill drone and gain stats to hit harder

[hardy rover]

20?

[jagged shell]

I believe its 20

[hybrid ore]

20 named items to make said item proficient.

[hardy rover]

capacitor for the exotic slot, harmony is another good one

surge is another one

[jagged shell]

The exact thing you're describing is the In Sync weapon talent

[wooden yarrow]

supp. whats the target loot for escalation?

[jagged shell]

check pin

[wooden yarrow]

is it this?

• Stranded Tanker
  • Mask
• ViewPoint Museum
  • Exuro
• Jefferson Trade Center
  • Legatus S.p.A.
• Bank Headquarters
  • Brazos de Arcabuz
• DCD Headquarters
  • Assault Rifle

[hardy rover]

yeah

[hybrid ore]

Yep, drib pins it daily in this channel. Keep an eye out.

📌

[hardy rover]

oh my god that escalation image thats pinned is so good

[stable tapir]

WOW.A a delta and and an alpha at same time

[polar thorn]

AR, huh?

[zenith urchin]

i read this as "make said item political" and was extremely confused

[feral knoll]

the DCD is calling you.

[hybrid ore]

Sometimes I swear this place.

[feral knoll]

Only sometimes ?!

[agile gyro]

Think they meant all the time.

[neon crow]

Another day, another awful rotation

[silent light]

Someone arrest this man ^

[dawn hawk]

if i put a mod round on a wep wilkl it work for my pistol

[neon crow]

Only good thing is probs AR

[dawn hawk]

nope does work

[polar thorn]

Eh, idk if I wanna throw another 40 escalations for one Prototype Lexington with Stability as third attributes.

I'll wait for Striker or Tipping Scale.

Until then, grinding expertise o/

[quick coyote]

very useful, thankyou

[prisma notch]

Lexingtons don’t drop in escalation do they!?

[toxic musk]

They do not

[feral knoll]

hmm why are there no NPCs abou-
DELTA-03

[rich heart]

Hmmm, this escalation has started but why aren't my teamates movi- DELTA-03

[toxic musk]

DELT- DELTA-03

Really begs the question. Where's DELTA-01 and 02

[rich heart]

Those are the friends we made along the way.

[elfin hazel]

the game loves giving me entropy and anomaly

[feral knoll]

hahaha ~1 mil pestilence ticks, omg, hilarious.

[lyric pumice]

Also today brazos in escalation, we need the possibility to choose the target loot

[zenith urchin]

going off of DELTA-03 being a mid game disconnect, 01 is probably just not being able to connect to the server and 02 is after login but before loading in

[obsidian atlas]

and 04 is tea party time for the servers

[toxic musk]

Huh. Just had a Reviver Hive thrown at me that decided it didn't want to revive

Very rude on the Hive's part. If I do say so myself

[lucid tundra]

Not sure if this is the default settings on ps but for some reason my left analog stick’s deadzone was set to 3 out of 20 and i almost lost it over a new controller getting stick drift so fast 💀

[lucid tundra]

Sometimes its line of sight to you can be blocked or it lands on a spot it refuses to work from. Hate it.

[toxic musk]

I kinda wish it would play that one sound effect from SpongeBob

[lucid tundra]

I like how the ronin skin makes it look like stinger hives attacking you

The corrupted petals skin for the hive

[coral hedge]

Wick is the best proto ar that you can get ?

Wich

[analog coral]

probably the carbine

[coral hedge]

Then we hunting the carbine today 😂

[unique bramble]

Do you guys think the devs should add more of those endorsement projects and/or projects that gives prototype cores?

[undone timber]

Now that they buffed drop rates cores are crazy easy to get

[mighty creek]

Famas, CTAR-21 and Police M4 are the best ARs.

[barren drift]

does enemy AI behavior seem off to anyone else lately? they seem to run away really far and hide behind cover ALOT

[prisma notch]

What’s best scope for AR? Is Police M4 better than Carbine7?

[mighty creek]

Happens a lot to kill squad members in retaliation yes. Often times they just ran away out of bounds to the point we cant kill them or loot them.

[mighty creek]

Police M4 is the best AR.

[barren drift]

exactly how I noticed it in retaliations

[prisma notch]

Got them prototype and was wondering which was better

[unique bramble]

Well, Lexington can be prototyped doesn't it?

[wind falcon]

yes it can

[rugged glacier]

ASSAULT RIFLE DAYYYY

[void relic]

New to game need help add me

[mighty creek]

Need help with?

[void relic]

Just someone to okay w hard

[barren drift]

play the story naturally first and the dlcs if you have it, game starts after that

[void relic]

Ok

[mighty creek]

Just proceed with main/side missions until you reach level 40. Dont bother with higher difficulty than story.

[toxic musk]

Heh, I am rich in Proto cores

(at least in comparison to my Exotic components)

[prisma notch]

Can prototyped hollow man drop in masks/escalation?

[ruby flax]

hello, which guns can you get as prototypes from the event Gear Cache?

[solemn spruce]

Striker prototype gear, which missions it drop plz?

[rugged glacier]

None of them

[solemn spruce]

lol

[rugged glacier]

It's not Striker day

[prisma notch]

Anyone know if Hollowman mask is in loot pool for masks?

[agile gyro]

Afaik its DZ/DZ Vendor exclusive unless u drop it out of a named cache or smth.

[prisma notch]

Prototype?

[rugged glacier]

@solemn spruce

[quaint axle]

how do you guys recommend a pretty new to endgame player get exotic sniper rifles apart from targeted loot im really wanting to get shroud

[prisma notch]

I have the mask but want the prototype version

[rugged glacier]

Countdown with targeted snipers, I'd target a strker set first..

[prisma notch]

Guess need to get to level 30 expertise and upgrade with prototypes components

[quaint axle]

i have an ok ish striker build im kinda looking to get some exotics i think are cool now for fun but thank you

[rugged glacier]

this guy gets it, fun over meta

gets to endgame and wants snipers what a goat

[quaint axle]

ive played to many games that have suffered because of meta to fall for it here lol

[quaint axle]

shroud and nemesis look way to cool to ignore

[rugged glacier]

i have both they're awesome

[quaint axle]

hopefully luck is on my side for shroud

[slim coral]

I got prototype first bloom the day after the patch that was supposed to fix it. But opened some 40 caches after that with no prototypes.

[rugged glacier]

I just got one from a cache yesterday.

[polar thorn]

Event cache still drops prototype but the chances are dirt.

[rugged glacier]

it was almost perfect but i got rate of fire

[lethal moon]

I mean it's still gonna be an upgrade over a standard issue one... unless the AR damage stat rolled at bare minimum

[rugged glacier]

AR day anyway

[lethal moon]

I had that happen to my upgraded Setup. Gave me standard 170k armor roll

[feral knoll]

Expertise up to 27. Soooooon.

[silver eagle]

I'm only 19. Long way to go

Hoping for expertise event to use all I've got and get few levels up

[frigid merlin]

Why is my commendation score different across characters?

[feral knoll]

Another expertise event will pretty much get me there, really. Or XP event, either or.

[silver eagle]

As far as I remember last expertise event was at the end of season.

[slim coral]

I see people looking for groups to farm houndsman. Can you still get the skins from him?

[wind falcon]

retail for imprints then 🙂

[polar thorn]

nah, people needs the named items

[solemn spruce]

Only at expertise 5, so slow 😂😂

[surreal geyser]

Anyone got room in a clan I'm literally solo in mine 😔

I do take regular breaks from division so preferably would like not to be kicked

[wind falcon]

check clan-recruitment

[surreal geyser]

I'm blind thanks

Would anyone like to join legendary zoo ? Would need a refractor and dps.

Ha ha

[exotic needle]

https://youtu.be/jXSaWHyG0DM

[lethal moon]

[lethal moon]

The only "Great" thing about it is the core from dismantling it

[silver eagle]

You mean crafting gear and weapons to donate them? I wonder if that is cheaper than donating materials

[olive nova]

for escalations 10, does anyone that runs in team of 4 have a dedicated healer/refactor healer? or does everyone runs DPS all the time?
just curious on the team compositions

[opaque lion]

i feel like healers are still mandatory

[rugged glacier]

3 dps frenzy 1 healer is what we run and we ball

[silver eagle]

Probably when you have an organized group who play together all the time they have a healer. But with randoms it's impossible

[rugged glacier]

Don’t play high tier content with randoms.

Game has no ping or in game communication beyond text chat…

I don’t even say that to be mean I just learned my lesson from Destiny

[pliant karma]

does logging out and logging back in just not work for the kitsu anymore? like these spawn rates are so unbelievably bad its abysmal

[opaque lion]

I play with Koreans and Chinese players, i don't understand them but we understand what to do

[rugged glacier]

Don’t talk about that a mod will kill you

[rugged glacier]

10 minute spawn timer maximum btw just play the game they’ll spawn

[polar thorn]

Someone getting whipped soon, better talk this somewhere else other than this server

[rugged glacier]

It’s funny because it’s fixed 😊

[pliant karma]

the mods can eat my shoes idgaf its lgetimate feedback. the devs create an event with good spawn rates and then they immdeiatly kill the spawn rates and make the game so boring i dont even wanna play, i have to run around for 30 minutes for 2 or 3 keys if im lucky

spawn rates were far better its just ubisoft doesnt like their games to succeed for some odd reason

[silver eagle]

I got some invites from clans but never accepted. I feel it's a duty 😃

[pliant karma]

"people are playing our game and having fun? cut those spawn rates in hlaf"

[rugged glacier]

“were far better” yes because people were abusing a flaw in a yes bad system

servers were down and awful when people were doing it idc it’s a 2 sided issue on both ends

[pliant karma]

even apart from the logout glitch the spawn rates were like 100% better before they "fixed" it

[polar thorn]

Just..drop the topic. You can do old school ways with other peoples in open world.

[rugged glacier]

Ubi needs to get it together with bad drops chances in an event and players need to do anything but maximum tier bug abuse to get their way

And I mean I get squads pretty often man; just play in open world..it’s a open world game after all

[pliant karma]

we wouldnt have to bug the spawn rates tho if they just gave us decent spawn rates to begin with

[rugged glacier]

that’s what im sysing

it’s the damn fomo

[lethal moon]

A fellow Destiny outcast

[rugged glacier]

Destiny is like an abusive girlfriend you finally moved on from. Played it from d1 to d2, from being a pipsqeuak to an adult now and growing up on it and seeing it fall down so hard

I came back for final shape and never returned. Now division gets my loot game fix satiated; I also got to grow up playing division 1 with my dad too

both games fascinated younger me

[polar thorn]

holy dad gamer

[pliant karma]

i used to play dv1 with a squad of dads, god do i miss it and using the house

[polar thorn]

Ah, good old days.

[fading jasper]

Yes me and other friends are. I am west coast NA they are central

[olive nova]

FI and btsu or birdie's bag? Or interchangeable?

[rugged glacier]

Transmissions jammed. Proximity coverage only.

can we get the old dz intro back it’s so much better

also given all the new lore in division 2 it makes a lot more sense to notify us that it’s jammed and it has to run on a backup

[frigid merlin]

Why does the Lexington have so many Simpin for it

[rugged glacier]

Event item only (?)

[elfin hazel]

technical best AR for DPS and was originally an exclusive reward for logging in during 2024

now it's an event item

[rugged glacier]

I like how it looks

Ubi may want my money but i want their gun models and well we all make each other whole i guess

[elfin hazel]

we're talking maybe like 4000 damage over a police m4 which MAY be like half a bullet

[jagged shell]

Its a godroll, best weapon handling, 4 mod slot, open talent, higher base dmg AR

[rugged glacier]

Well you see i have to optimize everything for my “GOD TIER SOLO LEGENDARY | STRIKER PVE DIVISION 2 BUILD”

[elfin hazel]

nvm I overshot

😱 scary typo

[frigid merlin]

Idk I don't really like the shooting sound of it

[elfin hazel]

1782 extra damage 🤯

[jagged shell]

put the silencer on it

[frigid merlin]

It sounded better in Div 1

[unique bramble]

Bro, there is a maneuver on retaliation where you need to perform skill kills, the developers named the objective Skill Issue 😂

[rugged glacier]

I love when I don’t have an offensive skill. It gives me it first one.

[fierce cedar]

Any good targeted loot in Escalade today?

[viral pond]

Anybody else have all their houndsman bounties removed?

[rich heart]

That's a big F if true.

[viral pond]

mine are gone - just noticed today

[zenith urchin]

did they fix the nemesis charge gauge bug yet

[kind veldt]

#lfg-td2incursion-console

[olive nova]

nemesis had a charge bug?

[obsidian atlas]

right so i had the thought that even if there's maintenance it's usually done <t:1777811400:t> now what's code Bravo 01?

[urban spear]

they really gotta change this UI for escaltion is really annoying

[torpid ocean]

man hostages really should just run away or hide, mfs shot a nearby black tusk patrol that's not even going our way

[unkempt kettle]

Can i ask if anyone actually has heard anything about the crossplay feature which as far as i know is supposed to be coming to division 2 in year 8 (Current), But then when i asked Ubisoft/Division 2 about this such feature coming. They informed me that there is no such feature being produced or in production. So its either they hiding this information from us as i did try to ask them about when we could potentially see this be seen in-game as i play division 2 on pc and my bro plays on xbox, So would be nice to play together, and i am not getting anywhere with them over 1 to 1 case chat on Ubisoft website.

Does anyone have any update on the crossplay feature coming in year 8 ??

[hybrid ore]

DM me a screenshot of where they said it's not in production or being made at all.
The official information we have right now, is that Crossplay is coming to div2 "some time in 2026".

Just to confirm: we are not getting crosssave/progression, just Crossplay.

That's because you want them. Act like you don't care about them, then they'll flow like..... something that flows

[sudden meadow]

it knows when you want it. Gotta ct like you don't care.

getting lucky myself today 5 drops in a T3.

[toxic musk]

This is because Lyinoats is smart and pretending they don't care about Proto drops

How come that 1 clear of DCD T5 gives 900k exp and another clear gives 1.1mil exp?

just came back after a long break! is there cross play yet? on ps5 and trying play with someone on xbox

[astral echo]

No

[mighty creek]

3 big things that are coming to Div2.

• New DLC that takes place in Central Park.
• Division 1 Survival mode.
• Crossplay is planning to be released later this year.

[void sail]

Is there a way to reset the National Bond Armory mission without an Event active?

[flat forge]

Just exit mission when ur done and fast travel back

[toxic lily]

yeah not gonna lie this event sucks and boring. getting the keys even trying to get it spawn a Ronin not that much

least my stash wont be filled with Eagle bearers

[zenith urchin]

room temperature take

[dawn shadow]

Diamond transceivers are from black tusk retaliations?

[zenith urchin]

yes

[dawn shadow]

Thank you

[wild hearth]

yes it is on invasion list always

[covert vale]

Where does a guy go to keep up with all of the latest news on d2?

[sharp adder]

if i buy the game on steam then buy DLC on ubisoft since its both linked will it work?

[violet flume]

#division-tweets and #news-and-announcements

[stark heron]

After all this time I still lack Optimist in my AR Library

Rng does suck sometimes I swear

[grave timber]

If people want to know what division 1 players experience with bullet sponges play escalation cause those adds are as heck

[grave timber]

Play countdown

[stark heron]

Yeah I have been

Its just the classic desiring something causing me to never get it

[grave timber]

Gotta be lucky keep grinding

With this week coming up we are 3 weeks away from the manhunt mission

[toxic musk]

I take it you're a pessimist, then?

[stark heron]

When it comes to RNG, definitely

[toxic musk]

Turn that frown upside down!
And steal every damn thing you can

[cold narwhal]

Whoops all chatterboxes edition

[toxic musk]

I predict you will accidentally delete an AR with Optimist

[clear sapphire]

So the spread sheet in #td2-build-advice said Pestilence does not work with Strikers properly. its weaker. Lo and Behold today i was scrolling and this 1 video was recommended to me saying Pestilence is so strong with this 1 strikers build. OP BUILD!

I wonder how many newbies fall victim to the click baits. I dont remember the channels name but their character had a green jacket with a skull mask.

[toxic musk]

I'm a fan of just being lazy and swapping Big Al for Pesti on Tipping Scales, personally

[kind veldt]

avoid youtubers in general

[toxic musk]

But where else would I get my misinformation?

[kind veldt]

google already does that to you by default now

[faint gyro]

hi, how can get tactical assesments blueprints?

[fiery horizon]

Anybody know the fastest way to level up shd rn?

[edgy fable]

Control Points or NBA classified assignment

[oak anvil]

Can i play on pc with my friend which have xbox live account on pc?

[olive nova]

True sons buff dudes > black tusk buff dudes

[olive nova]

as long you both are on pc i think you can

[kind veldt]

crossplay is coming later this year, it isnt on the game at this moment

[clear sapphire]

Kamikazevondoom is his name

[olive nova]

is his rep that bad?

[high flint]

Anyone else getting disconnected today?

[clear sapphire]

idk him tbh

[olive nova]

just once after logging in for the first time, then after reconnecting, no problem afterwards.

[clear sapphire]

the youtube scene is like an online market for builds lol

i like Ikia

[high flint]

happened twice and the second time i was mid black tusk retaliation, logged back in and gave me 30 seconds to do a cp

[kind veldt]

extremely infamous for making stuff up

[olive nova]

ye. i'd stick with known ones like roguegold or just sticking to the #td2-build-advice

dispatch talked about it too recently

[ornate crystal]

Before the internet, information was heavily edited by a small number of gatekeepers (publishers, editors, media moguls) many books were biased heavily edited for control narratives literally no different than anything else today. They will only learn with experience.

[kind veldt]

it wasnt a comment that deep or MGS2 speech, it's just a jab that people having been googling when crossplay is coming and getting wrong answer because one site used AI to make up the release date

[high flint]

Also very good at making clickbait vids on tiktok

[ornate crystal]

if you think that was deep smh

[clear sapphire]

ok. Ikia is the only CC i have on my playlist tbh. he seems really nice

[edgy fable]

Sadly he's not active anymore

[clear sapphire]

sad

[kind veldt]

more that i dont want to go on random tagent about humanity trust and whatever

[vernal void]

is prototyping worth going for? Especially with how hard it is to get or getting a piece of gear to 30? Its already kind of hard to level to 30 as expertise is a long grind

[clear sapphire]

i just finished my 3 main builds so im wondering the same. or maybe just push to expertise 30 then convert?

[olive nova]

yes if you invest loads of time into the game(especially for when 2x/3x expertise rate
not really if you are not no-lifing it

[edgy fable]

You don't need prototype gear outside of higher tier escalations.

[ornate crystal]

then dont reply i wanted to bc i had a point i wanted to share im srry it was touchy its simply dont entertain something you dont care for i wasnt being dishonest about it

[clear sapphire]

thats good to know then tbh. I can return to hoarding materials

[amber bone]

I'm currently playing the division 2 on ps5 I have created my own clan need members as I'm the only only one lol my clan name is MAD CRAZY BUNCH Three letter tag is MAD

[kind veldt]

dont worry, no harm was done

[kind veldt]

#td2-clan-recruitment follow the instructions there to promote your clan

[rigid wedge]

unless you really wanna make heroic, master and legendary easier..

[ornate crystal]

good deal

[kind veldt]

at max you proto your favourite weapon that isnt an exotic to feel special

[tame jay]

does anyone know the best way to farm true sons tac assesments

[kind veldt]

crafting them

[ruby nimbus]

Yeah I keep getting disconnected with delta-03 message

[edgy fable]

Again, not needed

[rigid wedge]

yes

[edgy fable]

Yes?

[ruby nimbus]

these servers are ass right now

[edgy fable]

Whatever your issue is go report it or upvote existing issues on the Bug Reporter platform to get heard

[ornate crystal]

Increased traffic creates congestion, lowering speeds and increasing latency, which is exacerbated if your router, modem, or system is not up to date and cannot handle high-speed data demands.

[hybrid ravine]

is there a way to get quickstep anymore or not rn

[proven edge]

eh, the delta has been an issue for a lot of people since the event started

[proven edge]

Yes, the same bounties as before and from the current event

[hybrid ravine]

thank you

[ornate crystal]

bc ppl are still running the game on old system at some point stuff needs to be upgraded i had the same problem till i upgraded and i had no issue with disconnection, it is not always division 2 end

[proven edge]

That's not what's causing it

[ornate crystal]

if you say so all ik im not getting disconnected so if yours is not up to date im just saying its probably why

[proven edge]

Lots of people get a delta upon first login for the day and have to wait it out. Somedays it doesn't always happen. I know people on new rigs having it happen and old rigs where it doesn't happen. Just saying it's old hardware is misleading

[lunar tapir]

is the Ravenous bugged? while running i hold it like the White death. the stock clipping through the arm

[tribal igloo]

Try using a vpn. I started using a us-vpn yesterday and now Im no longer getting the “delta-03” error.

[proven edge]

I'm not having issues either, but I know people are so suppose I can suggest that to them.

[ornate crystal]

game isnt ever going to be perfect but if you want better connection it might be a good idea to consider upgrading is all i was trying to say so we can fairly agree to disagree honest i mean no harm in what i say

[keen ledge]

It's not to late to make this game crossplay!! It's tha only thing missing for me

[edgy fable]

Crossplay will come this year

[median field]

anybody getting an unrecoverable crash with ubisoft connect?

[frigid merlin]

How much tokens are lost if you die

[cedar sparrow]

How do I get Birdie’s Quick Fix Pack, Now?? I’m a returning player.

[edgy fable]

Depends on the tier

[edgy fable]

Roosevelt Island Kelso manhunt or crafting blueprint from Retaliations

[frigid merlin]

Is there a list somewhere

[cedar sparrow]

Tyvm INF

[edgy fable]

Just see how many tokens are required per tier. If you die you lose what you spent

So T10 fail is -90 tokens or something

Sorry only the group leader loses their tokens

Which is stupid

[lofty temple]

where can i farm exotics

[edgy fable]

Personally I don't host mm above T6 cuz ppl don't care

[edgy fable]

Priority objectives and activities that reward exotic caches repeatedly such as Countdown or Retaliations

[frigid merlin]

Yea they are some trollers in escalations I've encountered

[edgy fable]

People running in like it's heroic cuz it's not their tokens...

Matchmaking with randoms but having a token system that only punishes the group leader upon fail is such an anti synergy

[frigid merlin]

It should have been a split system, each person pays tokens to enter

[edgy fable]

Indeed

You'll recognize this from Diablo 4 I'm sure

[wooden yarrow]

My pc aint old at all and i get this lmao. straight after cherry blossom update ish i think. games a mess

[proven edge]

Yeah, same for my brother haha

[edgy fable]

If you check on Reddit or the Ubisoft discord, it affects many players

Guess three weeks for an event is not enough to justify investigating it

If the issues remain after the event I'm sure they will, however

[fallen jacinth]

Yeah this is exactly what I get, wander around the white house for a few minutes, get a DC and then it never happens again

[vapid grove]

Servers down?

[proven edge]

yeah, seems to just be for the first login

[keen ledge]

Say word!!!?

[edgy fable]

Yeah that was the last official info we have atm

#lfg-pc

[safe wedge]

I just got a "Server Restart Imminent" thing for some reason

[edgy fable]

Either the server instance you were playing on is getting restarted or it's a bug. Regardless, no downtime for you as you will be redirected to another server

[kind veldt]

dont worry about it

[urban spear]

yay delta 3 😄

[slim radish]

sucks we cant change the camos on exotics, i wanted to make my bullet king pink to finish the bonita fit

[ornate crystal]

would be cool if we could ik i want to change some myself

[marble cairn]

And again, the game crashed. Seriously ubi get your shit together

About to finish another retaliation with 10dmg bc it keeps resetting

0dmg, 0kills, phenomenal.

[toxic musk]

You are trapped in the Retaliation dimension

[clear sapphire]

good. My Blue Screen will be singing all night then

[random laurel]

Sounds like a creepypasta

[marble cairn]

Since I started playing again this damn game has been crashing 5+ times every day.

Bout to hit the chargeback route

[edgy fable]

I don't think that'll work

You just might get yourself into trouble

[marble cairn]

Doubt it

[edgy fable]

Since I started playing again

For how long do you own the licence for this game already?

[marble cairn]

Few years, but recently got the season pass And about 40usd in skins

[edgy fable]

Season pass counts as cosmetic item and is excluded by their terms of service automatically

[marble cairn]

RIght, not sure if AMEX agrees though

[edgy fable]

Then you'd need to prove that it's the game's fault as well

[thorny basin]

I’ve been cycling what gear I run to get the xp toward proficiency on each piece until it hits rank 10 then switching. Is it worth doing that or should I just focus on builds and donating the pieces to expertise for that?

[marble cairn]

I have proof that it's been crashing every single escal run

[edgy fable]

And since it's not a really common thing it might be hard

[marble cairn]

I paid for cosmetics that idk if I really got bc the game keeps crashing therefore not getting what I paid for

[edgy fable]

You can do whatever you want, I just urge you to re-think it. Your entire Ubisoft account might get banned

[marble cairn]

I'll do the support route first ig

[edgy fable]

In legal terms it's a really wide stretch in your thinking

[thorny basin]

Generally there’s no might. Every gaming company I’ve heard of bans full accounts for chargebacks.

[edgy fable]

Most likely, I just word it carefully

[marble cairn]

Well, it's not like I can play this darned game

[sleek fossil]

hey how

made the bounting of pistola

[edgy fable]

What??

[sleek fossil]

can somebody help me

[full zinc]

The disruptions have only started when people started trying to exploit the season event. Kinda hard to blame the developer when peoples activities basically ddos the servers

Js

[inland ivy]

so is tinkerer working with proto now or no? i keep hearing mixed things.

[sleek fossil]

whit the bounty of houndman to tqu

to get the quickstep please

[full zinc]

use id:customize to pick your platform, then use whichever lfg is associated with your platform to find a group for that.
#lfg-pc
#lfg-playstation
#lfg-xbox

[haughty shale]

Anyone in the UK who can't access group posts on Xbox tryna play?

[edgy fable]

Try in #lfg-xbox

[remote lynx]

Hello fellow Agents

[edgy fable]

Sup

[remote lynx]

Got back from work i ll play Div2 a lil bit. i really want a good proto weapon to drop :/

[marble cairn]

So striker + gr9 with frenzy + tinkerer + strained = wow -- 1.5m dmg at 1400rpm go brrr

[urban spear]

doing the other version. the OD version for it.
cuz.. why not? can easily to striker as well in that sense😋

[rustic field]

How long will the server restart take?

[wise terrace]

In the crafting station im missing Chameleon blueprint. It says - has a chance to drop by successfully defending territories from Hyenas. Does it mean it drops from retaliation with Hyenas?

[fallen jacinth]

From completing hyena retaliations, yes. You gotta finish all the control points

[wise terrace]

thanks

[marble cairn]

Friend runs OD for inf ammo 😛

[lethal moon]

Someone mentioned OD

[civic ridge]

Played resurgence most of the day. Just jumped into div2, delta 3 in under 5 minutes. oof

[valid lava]

Is the 1400rpm an accurate number?

(not trying to troll, I'm genuinely curious because that would be saucy)

[wise terrace]

in the crafting station i have 483/698 blueprints. I noticed for the past 3 days the blueprints are not being rewarded from completing any retaliatons. How to get more blueprints?

[valid lava]

Have you been doing different factions? Also there's quite a few blueprints that are tied to the reconstructed caches at the crafting bench

[wise terrace]

reconstructed caches?

[valid lava]

They're at the bottom of the exotic category in the crafting bench, they drop a random named item and a random named blueprint

[wise terrace]

Yeah have been doing random factions

[marble cairn]

You have my blessing

[marble cairn]

If my calculator is correct, yup 😄 -- Frenzy gives +63% fire rate on my GR9

[grave skiff]

seen something abt loot goblin spawns does he still drop handbasket?'

[civic ridge]

Not sure but I've received a few from the kitsu cache
(lel in fact 2nd cache of 4 I just opened again had one in)

[marble cairn]

Game crashed twice in 5 mins, and now I have to kill it via task manager bc it won't open at all 💀

[marble cairn]

Learning I forgot to use season modifiers so can go higher apparentl;y

AgEnT, wE nEeD yOu BaCk In NeW yOrK

This bug has been around for like a year now?

[mighty creek]

Oh no, thats actually the game telling you to play Division Resurgence.

Its free to play in mobile and PC.

[marble cairn]

is it any good tho

[civic ridge]

It's actually pretty decent. Certain things ofc need work and UI is a bit obtuse (and exclamation marks are badgering)

[marble cairn]

Is it more stable than div 2 💀

[civic ridge]

haha well as i mentioned earlier. I played it most of the day and 5 min into div 2 this evening it delta 3'd so...

[marble cairn]

Fair fair - Pay 2 win or no?

[civic ridge]

I'm not high enough level yet but definite gating. Can't farm any more of certain mats I need today for example.

[marble cairn]

Hm, I'd rather they focus on div 3 then

[civic ridge]

It's not going to blow you mind but, honesty if you have some time to spare, by all means give it a go

[mighty creek]

No, it sucks.

[mighty creek]

Also no. Still early access in PC which means a lot of bugs and instability.

[mighty creek]

Yes, they have something thats called OS Protocol which I'm sure was made purely for monetization purpose.

[toxic musk]

All I know about Resurgence is that the big bad had immaculate Drip

[oak anvil]

Can i get Prototype The Hollow Man mask in Escalation with Mask target loot?

[lunar hare]

you can try but yeah

[bitter wagon]

what is the current event key farming methods?

[lunar hare]

just play the event

[valid lava]

I've been using Lincoln Memorial and National Bond Entrances for semi-consistent kitsunebi spawns

[bitter wagon]

is there a time for the spawn?

[valid lava]

I believe there's a 10 minute cooldown between spawns unless you cleanse a lantern

[dark kayak]

How do you get INSIDE the judiciary square metro station after the side mission ?

[valid lava]

What are you trying to get?

[dark kayak]

the last relic

[tender wave]

In theory you can force a bounty spawn there but I'm not 100% certain it's possible, and you'd need a group of 4 to block all the other bounty locations. More guaranteed way is to find someone who hasn't done the side mission yet

Or even start a new character and don't boost them

[dark kayak]

Another great Ubisoft mess up aye

[lunar iris]

I just got the eagle bearer blueprint

[rotund burrow]

I'm sorry, I'm sure many has asked already. Has cossplay been enabled yet between xbox and pc?

[valid lava]

Negative

[mighty creek]

No one knows when its gonna be released but its confirmed in the last stream still in development.

[rotund burrow]

Ah well, many thanks guys!

[marble cairn]

N1 know how to get big Alejandro?

[lunar iris]

Combine 2 small alejandros

[edgy fable]

It's in the general loot pool

[marble cairn]

Istg 😭

[lunar iris]

I had to. I saw you asking in global and had to keep the joke alive

[marble cairn]

Cackling -- I know it was you in the damn game chat

[slim radish]

is the textile vendor location the same for everyone?

[edgy fable]

I think so but it changes after a few days

[valid lava]

textile vendor?

[mighty ivy]

Does the tinkerer work with prototypes?

[mighty ivy]

Danny Weaver

Sells chests for textiles

[mighty ivy]

Did you find the snitch first?

[slim radish]

no not yet

[mighty ivy]

Find him and he shall reveal all

[slim radish]

is there any locations that he apears in most often?

[mighty ivy]

Ugh no it does not work with prototypes. Gutted

[mighty ivy]

You’ll probably get a different answer from different people. Some try the 1040 safe house location, I try under the bridge other side of Roosevelt island mission entrance

[lunar iris]

anyone wanna run tidal basin back to back to farm full retals?

[valid lava]

I use American History Museum myself, but I've seen both of these used as well

Usually my advice is pick like 3 easy spots to check and logout if you don't get him

[mighty ivy]

Yeah whatever method works for the individual.

[slim radish]

like outside of the mission entrance?

[valid lava]

yeah, if you fast travel to it, turn 180 degrees, go through the fence doorway and check behind the little building on the right

[mighty ivy]

Did tier 8 escalation last night with randoms. I got 5 prototypes, another guy said he got 18

Some mega RNG

[rugged glacier]

Is it bad I like the proto system just not the way it’s implemented? I really like the buffed up stats and the perks that like really can give builds some creativity. I’m not a sweat for high end content constantly so having more options always interests me

[signal fractal]

Does anyone know what retaliation drops capacitor blueprint? I see it’s available now

[valid lava]

Black Tusk

I think it's a kill squad blueprint

[signal fractal]

Thank you

[pulsar path]

server restart?

[kind veldt]

#lfg-pc

[plucky burrow]

Hello

[trail robin]

servers down?

[mighty ivy]

Just got delta during a legendary mission. Into 0%, come on game!

[delicate mesa]

im trying to get the chest armor 'the equalizer' from unit alloys brand using the loot system on the 100ft tower. I have gotten like 100 of a different armor but not one of those. am i doing something wrong or do i have to have a DLC for it to drop?

[mighty ivy]

Echo to 0% hmm gutted.

[trail robin]

there's a glitch/cheese that people are using to get prototype gear by not doing the mission, if i had to guess maybe the devs are taking down the servers to patch it...maybe..?

[flat forge]

sometimes servers just shutdown and restart randomly. if its not a patch announced by the devs on twitter or something then its not a maintainence

[elfin phoenix]

how do u raise expertise level is it just by using it

[granite pond]

its random , just target loot the unit alloy brand and it will drop eventually

@delicate mesadont target loot " armor pieces " but target loot " unit alloy " brand its much more effective

[toxic musk]

I like it. But the ability to optimise your gear not being there was a baffling choice, imo

[trail ruin]

Anyone on Playstation that has a clan that has room?

[unique bramble]

Why sometimes enemies on missions become invincible and invisible and the only way to kill them is to look on the mini map and use the oxidizer?

[clear sapphire]

So i did a stronghold in a group with all directives now i can turn them off lol

[polar thorn]

Good morning, agents.

[toxic musk]

Just morning, actually. It'd be a good one if I was fishing

[dreamy sundial]

Hi, returning player here, how do i get the quickstep pistol?

[polar thorn]

Then close ya wifi and go fishing

I would do the same thing if it's not raining rn

[toxic musk]

What an idea! Why didn't I think of that

What was the XP requirement to level up Proto gear again?

[odd briar]

Is the general Anderson master mission bugged? LT ardent isn't taking any damage.. We're 4 restarts in.

[slim citrus]

anyone know where Division 1 chat is?

[kind veldt]

#td1-general

grab the division 1 role on id:customize

[kind veldt]

are you doing master? he has a fire mechanic that you have to hit him with the fire hoses, if you miss it he gets an absurd damage res

[slim citrus]

tysm

[odd briar]

We used the hose to cool the fire pits. The house hasn't respawned since

[kind veldt]

it appears after he takes half of armor or something

[odd briar]

There's no more adds spawning. It's just the boss. And we've been nonstop shooting him for the past 40 minutes

[kind veldt]

yes then you probably already missed the timing of it, it gets active for 30s when he sets himself on fire

[mild meteor]

the rainbow rolls on proto gear is pretty laughable.....even on T10

[slate tusk]

They have really got to fix the spawn mechanics of these event. They always spawn in such inconvenience areas. Move the wrong way and they get evaded.

[mild meteor]

Because the snipers take off running in the opposite direction like they're competing for a gold medal in the Red Rover Olympics

[odd briar]

Finally killed him with his bs mad damage resistant because the level is bugged...

[pulsar fox]

how does the normalization work in conflict? I die in like half a second and barely do damage to anyone else lol

[edgy fable]
