correct
but you can freely leave and join through invites
This isnt me arguing.. but isnt there an argument for clearing easier escas faster, rather than waiting to fill up a group that you may or may not finish successfully.
T5 always
IF the group even fills up
i will become the paradox king
but when you men lose some difficulty must be going down because we finished stranded tanker 2 person at t5 including arogue encounter
This with negotiator's is SO FUN
has anyone here tried nego in t10 yet
+paradox with iron lung is super duper mega omega good
2 or 3-player often easier than 4 because enemy health scaling takes a big jump up
god forbid yall get rogues at T10 its 9 times out of 10 a wipe lol
Because you'll stack up your fire rounds and paradox will keep those fire rounds up for way longer
bank headquar ters bug ?
Is t10 with 2 people feasible?
Some did it solo
yes
yes toasty has videos of all 2 man clears
it will probably not be fun but it’s feasible
core gear set appears to be bugged and not dropping if thats what you are talking about
That might be the way to do it then.. increased loot drop.. less enemies.. reliable pre-made.
there is a big gap between each scalling in group sizes
it's hilarious how fast things die with 3 people compared to 4
2 man is actually quite easy for some reason
I just can't accept playing with less than 4 cause that means less ads and less ads = less proto
exactly
they’re using monster hunter math
that is a very good point
UNLESS you can clear 3 player way faster than 4 player i'm just sticking with a 4 stack
But less adds + less hp on the adds= faster clears
what i was trying to say was if people leave in game difficulty adjusts at the next encounter
so no need to matchmake
Is it true you can't kick people in escalations
Basically yeah so on the long run if your ad kills per min are faster on 3 than 4 then yeah go for it
simple math of valuing more drops more run or more drops per hour
i think they adjust mid fight for the next spawn wave at least
possible
Currently yes the social menu doesn't work
Damn man too many trollers with seeker mines and turrets in escalations
Faster runs also means more tokens
Imo tokens are eh
If you have enough to start a T10 that should be good enough
Been hard stuck at 999 a while
90 for t10 right?
If only there was a sink for esc tokens
I'd be inclined to agree but the livestream mentioned adding another use for tokens later (I think later this season but not 100% sure on that)
Aren't the tokens resetting by the end of season?
yes because they will reset
maybe they let us donate for expertise
that would be really nice catchup
They did say that too, so maybe it'll be some kind of stretch goals thing for everyone to dump their excess tokens before the season ends
I really hope that
That textile sink for danny needs to expand a little too imo i think a lot of people have enough for his stock for years to come
tokens to either buy mats or bypass some proto grind i assume
And what about max Expertise players?
ah nevermind yeah it is 100% going to be a token cache that drops 1 high end and maybe a named
well it might let you upgrade stuff using tokens instead of mats
decon for exotic components 🙏
Proto caches might be a huge idea I don't know why they haven't added that yet
But it could be a really good token sink
no way. exotic caches for 100 toekns
well protos on event caches already was a surprise to me
That could work if they payout was fair
yea
True but honestly from 2000 caches i think i got like 10-15 so chances were not at all high
i must have opened 30 and got two full blooms so i'm happy
exactly. it was s huge strategic fail by the devs there. they should have kept it
really like this funky AR
Dtoc?
hell even 1 component per proto id take it
people were opeining chests again
2000 cashes.. wth
Out of like 6 protos i got 5 were fist bloom like…
bugged keys were crazy
I got a proto aegis chest piece
Might've been the singlemost useless item in the entire game
that was a glorious bug
I loved the chaos and endless hordes in the open world
But people just HAD to optimize it....
500/h was genuinely crazy
I didn't care so much for the keys, I just liked fighting them endlessly
Best part was: it was in the open world!
"DO THIS NOW BEFORE FIX" youtube videos... Biggest party poopers ever.
Not some mission I ran 2384972398 times already, open world! Should be used much more lol
100% agree
How to run Manning National Zoo in Legendary difficulty? I only have until heroic 🙁
that is a totally different mission
are you selecting the regular version?
Might need to toggle mission mode to get the right version
I only have 2 mission options. 1 is the story mission which only has story difficutly, then the other one is I think the regular one having normal, hard, challenging, and heroic difficulty.
Need to complete the story one on story difficulty to unlock the higher difficulties
legendary should appear under heroic as an option
I have completed the story difficulty yesterday, and when I went back to the entrance of the Manning National Zoo, nothing happened
when in doubt post a screenshot at #ask-td2-community
ok will do - thank you!
The one with normal-heroic difficulty is likely the Mari manhunt version
How noticable is this?
A lot actually
All the off-site missions like zoo, pentagon, Coney Island etc have to be run on story difficulty once to unlock the other difficulties
Proto drop rate on the Bank seems to be very stingy today compared to yesterday 🤔
It's a bug with core strength target loot
I wasn't aware of that 😒
Everyone's been finding out about it today
Typical as my escalation build is Core Strength 😤
your teammates must love you
it tis I KEENER DO BAD I'm here to take all of your targeted gears, muahahahahaha
Escalation is such a cursed game mode the glitches feel reminiscent of div 1 lol
proto gear drop on bank HQ is dog 💩 . If this is how theyre going to run escalation on gearsets people may actually want to farm they can poke it
it's bugged for some reason
it appears this gear set is not dropping as proto, rest of the missions are fine
It does drop as proto just not from that mission
How hard is it to get Lexington to drop from the caches
Easy
RNG-dependednt
Just to clarify, you need an item to be max proficient before you can convert it to prototype? Meaning you need to get it to proficiency 30?
Correct
Thanks. My expertise level is 26. Chasing that 30
WOOO I HIT LEVEL 40
Core str escalation still buged ?
it started today
Core Strength is bugged, planned fix with the patch on the 12th
When will the stage bug be fixed? Bank Headquarters no drop Core strength
Core strength bugged not bank
bruh
surely we will break the record and someone will ask if it's bugged in less than 5 comments from the other person asking it
its in high demand
with how versatile and convenient it is i'm surprised people aren't gushing about it sooner
btw ubisoft team quote "We are aware that "Core Strength"-Gear Set items are currently not dropping in Prototype quality when running the "Bank Headquarters"-mission in Escalation Mode and are planning to fix this with the Title Update Y8S1.2."
why convenient?
Hello fellow agents!
I am here cause I need a bit of a help from anyone who knows the issue. So I downloaded the game again after long break, around 1 month ago. Since then I can not use chat in game. I already tried all kind of solution known to google. Turned on and off options in the game, verifying files, reinstallation of the game. Nothing works. I see in game it says that apparently I can chat but nobody is replying and i cant see anyone typing. I can see global chat but nothing in a group 🙁 Any ideas?
Likely it's the 'protect the children!' privacy laws that are being introduced in some countries - you have to verify your age with Ubisoft. Log into your account online, look for privacy/group chat options
Where is this info from ?
twitter looks like it's not updating properly on the channel
We’re aware of an issue where Core Strength Gear Set is not dropping in Prototype Quality as Targeted Loot during today’s Bank HQ Escalation mission.
A fix is ready and planned for the next Title Update on May 12.
You can track the status here: https://t.co/kB3BWetfyw
double check your settings mine did that and i didnt realize i changed something i believe it was like under privacy but mine was under xbox privacy for example
do you guys think they will add Prototype gear drops to retaliation?
why should they?
they should do whatever they think is right ofc, just wishful thinking from my side because i prefere grinding gear in retaliation over missions
is it fixed yet?
We already have newbies farming Prototype when they're already supposed to not, I wouldn't like to matchmake and they're looking for something they don't need
that would escal make obsolete also retail u alrdy have exotics + exo mats(watches) to get bluprints for every named gear part
LFG- Playstation my GT is Radmason66 I am new and I have all the dlcs I have been playing for awhile and need help finding good gear whenever you guys get the time add me with a message “Division2” thank you!!!
plus retal is already full of people who have noc clue what to do, no need to increae the populatio
- u alrdy have enough ppl these days running with unoptimized protogear 🙂
they think that just because it's Prototype you don't have to care about the building basics 🤦♂️
I'm pissed at these content creators and selfish people telling them newbies to farm Prototype
this!
that was inevitable. accept it or not that is the new endgame and people will want it.
make prototype usable only in escalations if you want to prevent it
no one needs it outisde of escalations you say. then use in only there
its more about ppl themselfs then, acting like bosses because having protogear and complaining about the rest when always dying on legendary 😄
so Bank does not give any protos today, right?
it does give you protos, just not any that would be the targeted loot ones. I got like 2 protos for one hole run which were both weapons.
so not really worth it to run rn
ah right
If they add escalation to retaliations then you'll get protos there
I can't post a screenshot, but in the Staff roster I unlocked Joshua Summers. I am guessing Roosevelt Island is/was an event. Do I get to experience him as a double agent or would I have to look online now?
He should just be wandering around upstairs in the medical area of the white house until you finish the base game storyline. Don't think you could ever interact with him directly though.
nope, he got taken cared of offscreen, Kelso saw to it herself
the cutscene with him doesnt play anymore i think, similar to white house attack and other small moments like that
the transition from base game to ny was very confusing for me as a new player. story broke down, didnt know what to do. bacl tusk was not explained properly
I saw it recently the first time i did that roosevelt kelso manhunt
I hope everyone is stocked up on exotic components before the creator event is gone.
did it the first week, was a great event
Hey so heard Escalation drop rate is bugged now?
only this "We’re aware of an issue where Core Strength Gear Set is not dropping in Prototype Quality as Targeted Loot during today’s Bank HQ Escalation mission."
On your alts too? Thats like 80 exos per.
alas i dont have alts
specifically just core strenght
Just got home. Whats the bug?
like gear mods, core strenght isnt dropping as proto, so targetted loot for bank today isnt dropping more gear than usual
ok thanks
How many days are in for the kitsunubi event
are these classified assignments worth anything? theyre all over my map and asking for premium currency...
and not the usually shooting stuff cause there r some nice riddles in
seems alright besides the fact that it crowds my map
outside of the one released this season which i dont own either they are all included with the year 1 pass
does archivist drop perfect rolled
RNG just like any other item
does getting it from the classified make it a regular drop at least
Yeah. Took me eight runs or so to get a good one
Why the game says that I have 8 modifications in my inventory, but when I open my modification inventory I have 0???
Probably for skills you don't have (yet) go to a vendor's sell tab and you'll see
library of congress is sick, i wonder if the devs got to explore the actual library to model it
probably to some degree, i remember some old interview a dev saying he knew more about every tree in washington DC then his own street
I already checked settings like milion times
I did not know about it!! I have checked the site an yeah i had to confirm my identity! Will see if this works 🙂 Thanks!
how do i access the backpack charm room in the library btw
then thats prob not your issue was for me so i hope u get it figured out ik its a pain
is that the Classified Assignment one
Ar! Thanks!
ok so i solved the puzzle leading to the backpack trophy
and got a comm apart from the echo
i guess we are getting a new, crazier replacement for keener
i think at their core, ubisoft really likes making 1 to 1 digital models of real world places
consider all the super accurate models in assassin’s creed, like the notre dame
i havent played that one in long time what is the backpack trophy of ?
oh mant his core strength drop issue is a bummer
I feel like since I started running escalations there hasn't been any gear sets for rewards that I was looking for. Everything has always been skill focused
who the hell is max
ohhh its one the new ones ah ok cool
yesterday was negotiator’s, last week we had ongoing directive
What happens if I crash during escalation
You just get kicked out of the mission probably, some cases you just rejoin the group session if it was more of disconnection
Yeah it happens sometimes
You rejoin. I learned this the hard way as I was trying to leave my group
Hey does turning a weapon into a proto change the talent
One thing I love about this game, is that the bad guys, while indisputably bad, aren't entirely wrong. Emeline Shaw had the right to be angry and the Outcasts were entirely screwed over. Likewise, Theo Parnell wasn't wrong about corruption.
Yeah, I like the moral ambiguity
Like how the SHD as an organization is corrupt as hell and nearly as bad as the BTSU
My tokens ? I was host
The only one who I don't think really had a good point was Ridgeway, and he was just a corrupt SOB who put his gang of thugs above everyone else.
Yeah, the True Sons are just the Hyenas but with better gear and discipline.
The Castle settlement conflict is a good example
I need to read Broken Dawn again lol
i gotta catch up with the books, only read the first one and haven’t since
shaw directed their anger at entirely the wrong targets
Same, I’ve only read the NY Survival Guide and Broken Dawn
As Kelso said: “Think of all the good she could’ve done”
yea if she didnt choose to be crazy and evil
really amazing books, was sad when i saw brian johnson pretty much the recruiter 💔
It’s unfortunate, but I don’t fully blame her. The pain and trauma broke her
And the Extremis Malis comics, forgot about those
how many books are there ?
thank you so much
Idk if that is up to date but that’s all if not most of them
Which book was Hoskins from again?
hearts on fire
Nvm im stupid and cant read
Wild that Hoskin’s VA in the audiobook is the same as Bo-Katan from Star Wars lol
I am proud of this, I have to be honest. Although I do want to be worse
i see why peopel do countown on challenging, keep on running out of time on heroic due to nonstop spawning enemies :/
do people do or queue for countdown anymore?
we did obj, clearing the area failed 3 times
then sounds like the team didnt have enough dps to clear fast enough
going back to challenging, the gap between them is insanity
im not sure why i matchmake for challanging countdown for like 15min still no parties
so they say, but 2-3 times in a row is just really terrible...
stop finding agents and find agents again, works
Hello Agents, Im having a hard time playing the game, during the missions i have a constant spam message and audio about retaliation progress, is there a way to stop this?
click on ur map, go to the retaliation tab and press whatever button to abandon it
ive literally duo'd countdown you just gotta know when to not stick with the current team you're with
you also need all red cores to be efficient, theres room for one support or tank and if theyre not running pointman chest theres no point
also dont do the vip lol
its actually very easy when people arent all level 30 in heroic for some reason
u mean matchmake > cancel and matchmake again?
guys do i craft the eagle bearer or capacitor?
solved, thank you so much it was getting so bad...
both🙂↔️
whichever one you like
yep!
i can only craft one.. ive been farming retals all day
dont really seems to work ahahaha . sad
i like the eagle bearer more but the capacitor a really good weapon. whatever you like better tbh
i still gotta farm retaliation for the eagle bearer blueprint
i got the bp from a raid but didnt get the weapon
that’s insane, lucky asf tbh
i didnt bother looking at people's stats n builds, i just assumed most of these SHD 1000+ players knew what they were doing
im an all red core basic striker equalizer overdogs user, sometimes i switch to tardigrade
i know dont do vip, everyone knows that
just kinda spouting things i already knew / basic , but thank you though
sometimes it might be worth taking a peek while waiting for players to join the countdown room
good dps like you can carry, but not if theres too many players with random builds
what is the capacitor good for? ive never used it or gotten it to drop
there needs to be at least like 4 of you with full red striker builds that are also doing obj over killing if its an obj mission
and half the raiders dced mid match, fml, bad countdown matches back to back 🚬
the notorious countdown dc
It's a very good match with a skill damage build, turret and drone.
3 people, cause the last 1-2 other people are doing vip
theres gotta be a better way to level skills to proficent ive done like 7 countdowns shit is level 2 am i doing something wrong here
it really is just slow without the event up
i heard the bank escalation is bugged, how though?
The set it drops is bugged and doesn't drop prototyped
core strength isnt dropping as proto
it is desgined to be very slow because no one cared back then
ah okay i was confused because the guy in my party while we were doing it was saying it doesnt drop protos but i got 2 of them so
i expect the SHD 1200+ to NOT go into VIP and do it solo :|
just core strength as targetted loot
ubisoft should lowkey bug core strength so that it drops strikers as proto instead wink wink
Honestly I've learned no point arguing. If the entire group go to it, I just do it cause it's easier then attempting to fight the group.
true, but they went in there solo, i expect better
Capacitor should be a guaranteed reward from summit once you complete any 5 challenges for the first time. Got it that way then more started dropping. I still don’t have eagle bearer lol
definitely craft the eagle bearer. it isnt even particularly good but it is a flex and thats what matters.
im only SHD 120+, i'd appreciate if they're as competent as their experience
i did 15 rooms and got no cap lol
Unrelated, you could do 5 and get it. Check challenge rewards
Those are +1 exotic components. Do not craft that garbage
wait what?
Is there any reason to play in global event mode if you're caught up on the stars?
not 5 floors. 5 challenges
Yeah it took me a minute to find they existed too.
why does tenacity only proc on headshot kill 🥀 an AR that delays/cleanses damage taken would be great as a survivability option but it SUCKS
you earn stars as you level up
Two types, doesn’t matter which one you do. One involves clearing floors in certain ways, the other on the left is specific kills iirc
Got it ty
where do i find it?
In the summit open the map and look for whichever key is for challenges. Cant remember by heart sorry
Finally got the catalyst mask 😷
That’s super rare. Was it from the last brooklyn mission?
Is matchmaking usually slow for t6 and above?
it is slow for below t6 as well
Ok so in the summit when you open the map you can see “Challenges” directly left of “All”
iirc capacitor should be a reward for “Challenge Reward 5” which needs you to do any 5 Tactical and/or Ascent challenges. Pretty easy
I done 13 run on tier 5 6 7 and got 1 prototype drop but yesterday had 8 drops from tiers 4 5 runs
My game crashed after I activated a new lantern lmfaoooo
Im gna finish my lanterns run tomorrow im on 26 i think upto now but event with the map still can't find some of them
I gotta work on that hunt for the rest of the event days, gonna use my tickets on the last day
how does prototyping the core strength backpack work
is it like a regular high end where one core is guaranteed to get maxed and the others are rng
Who the Hell is the houndsman. That was crazy
well ppl keep dying in pve... smh
So if I lvl up a prototype item, weapon with core it also level levels up the core attributes and attribute?
Just the augment right?
So how do you lvl up the attributes on the weapon?
As far as I’m aware it’s just farming better drops at this point
Any word on when strikers or tipping scales will be targeted prototype
So we can’t lvl up prototypes at all besides the special ability
For now. But they’re usually always better than regular gear
I’m done 💀
Anyone having any luck with Core Set Prototypes dropping? Feels like I've been smacking my PP up against a wall and can't get a proto of it at all
It's randomized daily
What if the division was real? It would be pretty cool ngl.
i have a question
Would average people even know about it if something similar to the division was real?
my game keeps crashing on ubisoft connect how can i fix it from crashing
anyone got problem to get the cleaners and rikers to retaliate?
It appears to be bugged
Find someone with a Houndsman bounty they can share with you. Ask here in your platform's LFG channel, join the GCROCK discord or the Division 2 Community discord to LFG there.
You can also get it from the current event
Is this where I insert the comment about working and trying to grind on my time off? 🤣 . Welp that sucks. Maybe itll be back in the rotation and not bugged next time
fix should be coming next week according to #division-tweets
not anymore
Real
Does tenacity works against other agents like lets say i proc it in dark zone against npc and a rogue comes around
Is it a known issue that even though I queue for Retaliation matchmaking, it sometimes automatically switches to Random Call for Backup?
At first I thought it was my mistake, but when hardly anyone joins and I check the Matchmake tab, it’s almost always switched to Random Call for Backup. If I cancel once and start matchmaking for Retaliation again, people join almost immediately.
I’m not completely sure, but it seems like this issue happens when I become the team leader.
You can matchmake retaliations?
yes?
Didn't know that. Neat
You could?!
added this season
Huh
Yes, I was able to reproduce the issue.
- Start a Retaliation match.
- Become a Team Leader.
- The matchmaking automatically switches to Random Call for Backup
If you just sit around waiting for matchmaking, hardly anyone will join, and even if they do, they’re likely inexperienced players who aren’t here to play Retaliation.
The only workaround is to check the matchmaking tab and switch it yourself once you become the team leader.
Thank you, Massive
wth?
Report this via the bug reporter platform
i hate when the server restarts, i just wana play the game xD
What is the best assault rifle talent for the police m4
killer
How do you upgrade the police m4 to have 110 damage
If your gun only has 109 damage in total, you have some serious issues.
expertise
Okay thank you for the information
i asked in build advice but im hoping for a more definative answer. does prototyping a skill tier armor piece (because it is guaranteed 1.5 skill tier) put the 100% maxed stat on the other attribute or does it still count it on the skill tier?
afaik, when i prototyped a skilltier piece, it maxed out a minor attribute
I'm about to do a Proto run, if I get lucky with drops, I'll tell you exactly. Been meaning to Proto Exclipse for a minute.
thats what i was thinking was going to happen but im trying to get a good answer lol
ive only done a few pieces tho so my sample size is small
im looking to possibly proto my existing hardwired if it screws me on drops today and if it maxes the minors anyway might be worth doing
hoe much does it cost to max expertise a single weapon
do it, i proto eclipse last night 🔥
alot xD but i know its now 45 exotic comps
@rapid ledge There's a sheet 📌 pinned over in #ask-td2-community
I saw your build local', and I just knew it was going to be my new obsession, now that OD is on its way.
how does it perform? i have an old eclipse build but its way outdated
it does good. i only proto it so i could squeeze in overdogs and not be stuck on tech class. so 2 proto eclipse pieces it was
thats another thing about my HW build is i love BTSU gloves with it but i dont want to waste a core by having a 7th in the build so i have to drop it
you just did the 2? i suppose that swaps out the core enough to squeeze it in
overdogs is basically a 30% amp for explosives/oxi/fire on top of weapon damage
how does it app damage? i havent read Overdogs gloves in a bit
overdogs is stuck with a red core, otherwise i wouldnt have prototyped the 2 pieces for the extra skilltier
like glass, you just do your thing and all the low tiers take the amp, as they burn off quick the higher tiers start taking the amp
anyone has issues getting cleaners and rikers to retaliate
i didnt realise overdogs applied extra of all damage i thought it was just weapon damamge
its most damage. it wont aply to things like assault turret, striker drone, or sniper turret tho
perhaps i have slept on them too hard then lol i thought it was jsut weapon damage
many do
the 2 places i use them a lot now are fire eclipse and mortar
they would fit in the hw build if you were using cluster seekers
my eclipse could fit them in cause its only at 5 and has golan gloves
oh? i do use cluster seekers O.O
i could do chinalight and overdogs as my 2 off gearset then o.o
yeah
id have to reroll the core of china
----Mao, 1966.
server down?
Does nemesis damage go down when you fire immediately without charging
yes.
one of my friends tested, it excludes anything that uses bullets, confirming your findings too
Is it to the point where you just deal 300k per shot
yeah
Why's it popular in DZ even with the tanky builds ToT
u mean 50k, thanks to @agile gyro
because you can still hold it
Make sure no other retaliation is ready elsewhere
My clan leader's build is tardigarde with nemesis
So overdogs would work with mortar sentry?
yes
Oh that’s interesting
Isnt overdogs amplified damage
Sounds good for hardwired too
Tho i wonder why it wont work with turret and drone
its confusing cause it says it applified weapon damage but you guys are saying its more than that?
in game tooltips are never to be trusted
Oh yeah that goes for the eagle bearer too i think
Incredible
true Dien. i have seen the chart of all the wrong or misleading things xD
Wasn't it increased accuracy for every sec you shoot, it feels like it increases weapon handling instead
Yes ik accuracy is part of WH
weapon handling is an umbrella stat that includes reload, so i'm not so sure about that
glad yall finally finding mortardogs, oxidogs, firedogs builds 😎
Lemme try it to the test
Imagine universal overdogs stat roll
Im thinking stingerhivedogs tbh
Is btsu gloves mostly for healing?
nah, for OC mostly
Ive used them with stinger hives before, works both ways or mixed too
i use it for team overcharge and getting my hive back quicker whether its restore or stinger hive
its useful for recharging your teammates revive hives
Yeah
really good for all those dps guys that go down a bunch and burn their hive lol
With they didn’t sleep on overdrive haha
overdrive wont bring it all the way back it just cuts down the time, atleast if you have all your mods moved to offensive for seasonal
it can bring it back in 15 sec if used proper
how cause i used it and it only cut it in half
Still a considerable cut and sometimes when i time it right after the down it can even be 15 seconds only for the next one. Plus it’s really great for reviving them for free basically
pop overdrive it as soon as you revived , before hive* breaks
ill have to try that
Yeah that’s what i try to do
I Run it with consume utility and invert offense, first is for headshot damage. If you dont utilize skill damage it’s better than running it with compress and the wildcard
15 less seconds of cd that way
i have mine flip flopped between if im on HW or strikers between 67.5% skill damage or 135% headshot damamge
Literally soon as you get picked up by hive instantly hit it
For the headshot damage if you dont want the skill damage you can use what i mentioned for a lower cd
saving a screenshot of the convo so i can come back to it later thank you
Has anyone figured out how to fix the broken Thinkerer bug this season? Like I have my Thinkerer on, GR9 with Frenzy, and another regular LMG with messured, but my icon is red
Hold up, i think it was Saturate utility, let me double check
Convert 1 offense
Saturate utility
Invert offense
i noticed it only applies the mask to your slot 1 weapon
if you are on secondary is doesnt work? also if they arent both proto/highend idk if it works
my GR9 is proto
Heard it doesnt work on protos
they supposedly fixed it in Y8S1.1?
Doesn't work with proto weapons
Is that by design? Or a bug right now?
from the Y8S1.1 patchnotes: Fixed an issue where the “Abridge” Talent did not function with Prototype weapons. [TCTD2-1405]
so did they not fix it?
They tried fixing it apparently but it still does not work
ah okay i was wondering if that was the case since everyone keeps saying it doesnt work still
Is bank headquarters bugged? Ran 2 tier 5 an no core protocol!
tbh it was kinda a relief cause i wanted to farm HW and core and now i only have to do 1 lol
Is there a good build for an all red investor mask or just a waste rerolling for one right now?
maybe an SMG? since you can get easy crit chance off of smgs and could benefit from the crit damage from investors? idk im spitballin
idk pieces but id imagine something like hunters fury could work but those are mostly with memento
What is wrong with Escalation matchmaking, sheesh
ive noticed lately its been booty sometimes
Starting to piss me off, every single time it's like nobody plays it
alot of it is probably so many sessions made because people matchmake and then dont join others because they dont want to be thrown into a mission they dont want
is bank hq escalation still bugged?
Yes
no fix til the 12th
It doesn't matter which tier, what time, always the same
The way it is now it's dead on arrival
do you also notice that once you get 1 person in then it fills quick?
No. 15 mins waiting again, one player joined but left cuz nobody else joined. Now another player joined and we keep waiting
Tried from T10 downwards to T6 now
hmm i notice that once one joins then it invites a bunch and fills quick but im also on PS
I've had that only a few times. The norm is just waiting to get lucky - Escalation also not really sought after in the LFGs
i only ever matchmake up to 4 so maybe not as many people playing the tiers you want?
The other day I tried lower tiers, same thing
im out of ideas besides maybe a connection issue
Something not working right I would say - can't imagine it's really that dead already
you dont think the ge has something to do with it?
Been like that before the GE, I tried both ways
escalation needs its own matchmaking tbh. annoying af being matched and not being able to drop ... or at least classed like master is
Okay nice, 5 protos from a tombs.
Now, about that eclipse.
i wonder if most are playing solo?
one thing i wont be doing any time soon, having 4 duplicate proto mortar/fire ep builds
Getting locked into the random Escalation you matchmake for, especially when it has a pretty high chance to be a different tier, is pretty rough.
I really don't know but I will report this. It's mad annoying
Sucks all the motivation out of me

hopefully it will improve with crossplay assuming that doesnt break the game x.x
@lucid tundra ive tried that trick with revive hive it works real nice
When will college be back up
Summit is the best place to go after reaching elvel 40?
Is there like an eta on it
Countdown, farm pieces for your builds then do whatever you want
just do the weekly Summit 15 floors for the free stuff
is danny weaver here
Countdown drops so much gear, it even has it's own shop from the currency you get when finishing one
how fast will i replace the old 4 piece high end and waveform skill builds from years ago
maybe in a few sessions you can get all desireable rolls
In terms of gear / hour: Retaliation > Countdown > Summit
cuz i’m still contemplating restarting on pc or continuing on console
cuz i don’t wanna farm the good exotics again
capacitor, scorpio, regulus etc
all of those exotics' blueprints can be obtained in Retaliation
Crossplay is coming "some time" this year, it won't be crosssave/progression though.
i was told that only lets you reconfigure and u still need the weapon
no like you can now craft Exotics since this season
or can u just craft it straight up
How do I access the DARPA Research Labs? Ive read it was bugged but the post I read was from 4 years ago haha
are they expensive and easy to farm or no
a bit
would u say it’s worth starting again fresh or no?
it won't take you very long but atleast it's a guaranteed exotic that you want
Make sure you access the Safe House first, the mission should take you there. You have to go down a hatch.
the ones of definitely want is scorpio, capacitor, regulus, eb,
eb took me multiple runs years ago
is danny weaver open today
Awesome ty!! I just finished the main mission there and I could not find it so I went to Base then back to Pentagon and it came up. 🙏
that and Coney Island has always confused me when im not paying attention 
Wait actually its not there lol
how good/important are expertise levels? I've been donating my junk items towards it instead of dismantling or selling them, but they don´t usually are same type as the items that I'm using, so I'm not benefiting from expertise if I understand it correctly...
i’m guessing people would still drop me exotics if they see i’m on a new account right or no?
If you ask very nicely, people are pretty happy to pepper the ground with reds.
but don't think of exotics in div2 as particularly important, they're all very build specific.
It's weirdly complicated to start the mission, and I bet 90% of people have no idea who the NPC that's with you is at this point.
weird times.
Heard that! Ill figure it out!! lol
not that important tbh
the Lvl40 Starters Guide explains why (WIP)
i've just started playing solo on heroic and doing pretty good on missions and such. how much of a step up is legendary? need to do those for the season and not sure if it's somethign worth even trying
Ubisoft servers don’t be abysmal dogshit challenge (impossible)
eagle bearer- dmg to targets out of cover OR damage to armour?
DTOC always
@pulsar path dtooc (damage to target out of cover) on every gun that's not an LMG.
on an LMG: CHC (crit chance)
easy rule to remember!
awsome, thankyou
will the kitsunebi show up in those expansions
What?
kitsunebi are an enemy active for the current cherry event
if im started new should i go straight into countdown and make a few builds
yeh
Read this Level 40 Starter Guide
hopefully the matchmaking is better for pc
cuz console i waited 20 mintues for 1 countdown
new york and brooklyn expansions
They're part of the current event. Once it's over they're gone. And they only appear in DC
What shd lvl are you
which builds should i prioritise getting in count down as a returning player starting new
Apparently you didnt read the guide I gave you.
using my armor kits isnt taking away the broken stacks from losing armo does anyone know hy
i did it doesnt specify which pieces exactly sorry
It’s actually pretty good info
#ask-td2-community message No you dont.
Yeah it's a years old bug. Down yourself and get revived to fix it on the fly
lol ty
Literally just scroll down a bit and you'll see it.
Walker, Harris & Co. can suck my ass dude, holy shit
Farmed roughly 40 floors of heroic summit, did a run of The Tombs on heroic, tried crafting many pairs, STILL no gloves with CHD/CHC attributes 
that brand hates me
Nice. For me, Airaldi.
walker for a crit build?
it’s for a pvp build from the google doc
That guy hates me.
ahhh Bighorn Regen?
Umbra capacitor with ninjabike
almost
I do need a bighorn though
F
tempting me to want to find another PvP build though that doesn’t use those gloves because of how much it’s annoying me
what build are you trying to make
anyone have an opinion on the chest piece Beacon?
can anyone tell me what charges the global event debuff? I know I have to do a cover-to-cover or melee to trigger/transfer it once it is full but I haven't figured out yet what makes that little small red bar move to the right 😅
moving around out of cover
I.... yeah...
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1X87BwJv-I_58WAQh_bSDXRKNLBHTOi9Wtt4Bs6Pv7bY/edit?usp=drivesdk the umbra capacitor build from this
just use unit alloy gloves
it does more damage for gun but less dmg for sticky. i tested it
so another option
Can someone explain to me the stats after a mission like I’m 5? I did tidal basin on legendary and it said my damage was only 30mil but I had 130 kills which was the most. When I looked at the stats it said my damage to named enemies was 33mil but team damage was 30mil. Huh?
might try that, but also still look for other stuff too
I wanted to reply because this came up in a chat with a clanmate yesterday. It used to be that if you were already geared up, running something like Summit with randoms, and saw someone was new/undergeared, you would drop them whatever good stuff dropped for you - exotics, well rolled gear, maxed mods etc.... Sadly, an unintended consequence of the new prototype upgrade system is that that is unlikely to happen anymore at least in the short term. Why? Exotic components are the new 'bottleneck' to upgrade your gear - to upgrade (prototype) a weapon/gear piece you need 45 exotics per piece, meaning people break exotics down for components instead of sharing them. I doubt the devs will change that by allowing people to choose targeted loot in escalations because it would remove the grind.
What I'd suggest, if you want a good chance of getting the exotic you're after, is to go farm countdown on heroic difficulty. Not for the exotic drops inside of countdown, they're rare. I farmed for 45 exotic components in countdown yesterday and got maybe 3 actual exotic drops. Countdown runs give you credits which you can spend on exotic caches (a random guraranteed exotic) at the countdown vendor. An exotic cache costs 224 countdown credits. A 'good' heroic run gets you around 208. So that's just about 1 exotic cache/guranteed exotic every run/every 15 minutes.
When the number gets too big (I think 2,1 billion) it swaps to minus 2,1 billion and goes back up, that's why it looks like you did way less damage than you actual did
the stat screen dmg is limited byt he 32 bit integer limit, once it hits the max (2147483647), it goes negative (-2147483647) and starts increasing towards 0
So i guess i did a lot more than I thought i did?
yes for sure
Which manhunt drops Blacklisters?
how much you did exactly its hard to tell
Hmm. But I didn’t have the little star above my number as having the most like I did with kills
And then the whole team damage thing sort of throws me off.
well did someone get above 30 mil on the stat screen
actualy idek if the stat screen tracks how many times the damage loops around
Yeah they had a lot. Which is what confused me like how did I have the most kills but did the least damage lol
chances are if you had the most kilLs by a huge margin and you felt like you did the most, you probably did the most
it just wont be reflected well on stats screen
it does seem to track it, I just had the star with -2075M while the other 2 hat positive 1510M and 2134M
Ahh ok. I mean two of the dudes were in the 10kshd level and were running all over the place while I mostly stayed back and played it safe.
The person with a star on their stat has the "most" of that stat.
Damage being negative just loops around, the higher you go with Tiers, the more you'll see it happen.
which is a fancy way of saying Ubisoft did not plan for the damage output players would achieve
I guess. Like I said it’s confusing because it only said 30 mil so maybe we all looped around then. I just had a pretty big gap in number of kills so I was like did I even do anything? I’m not even 1000 but I do have a fully optimized striker build and my crit is at 54.5% and my chd is 128
which is interesting though because it would let us believe that internally it is actually tracking the damage number with an i64 and just displays it via i32. But that bug is probably so low on the prio list it will never get fixed 😅
I need to look up that yee yee striker build since I got a few pieces today while exploring, some with pretty good rolls
Which manhunt drops Blacklisters?
Chances are, you will have looped damage around a few times.
It's pretty low, and yeah, designed for when we weren't so incredibly OP.
according to Google, The Pact at tidal basin
I just run the bread and butter with equalizer and Overdogs. Memento when solo. And need to figure out what to start running with escalation as I get there. I have Overdogs, contractors, and Fox prayer and a salvo
Escalation up to about Tier 5 is the same build you're running now.
After that it gets a bit wonky.
there’s also an Exuro build I saw on the Google doc, need to find that again so I can try it out
flame go brrrr
its the same bread and butter after, if you dont have a hollowman run ceska and overdogs w striker chest n bag
I regularly run the striker+equa+overdogs in pub T5 escals and almost always get the most damage and if not the most, 2nd most kills.
Funnily enough I absolutely wiped the floor with a kill total today, due to an overcharged Jammer Pulse and theo's holograms.
Yeah. I don’t have the LMG they mention but I do have a decent bullet king. And then those other pieces. My CHC isn’t the best but meh
Particular Ceska piece?
You can actually craft that mk46, assuming you have the blueprint. There's a replica version in there.
but what matters most is that you can keep Frenzy going quickly after you reload.
would recommend holster
Named or just the brand?
brand
gr9 is popular too, mg5, whatever as long as you have one of those big chunky LMG's, chc as the stat, and frenzy as the talent. Just gotta get the rhythm right.
ahhh too bad last week campus vendor sold frenzy mk46 platform, you just needed to roll chc on third stat
Yeah no hollowman. I read about it being crafted after expertise 30. I don’t know anything about that.
not crafted but prototyped, if its not proto its not really worth using
Ahh
quick mod abuse to confirm that yep, you can craft an mk46
So I just need to be on the lookout for a ceska holster. The only thing about if I use an LMG even with CHC on gear it’s butt
@ed you in build advice channel for a visual look
imma prototype my Mk46 one day
Its a really good prototype. Got a killer w/trapper for my OD tink. When it works of course.
No where near prototyping anything. Maybe get lucky and get a third proto first bloom with decent third stat and augment
my luck is junk nowdays, imma get it via brute force.
Got like my 4th Lexington lol. And a high end first bloom. Game doesn’t want to give me my god roll proto one
why is no one matchmaking for escalations
I swear something ain't working right with it
Does Sakura Caches drop Rock'n'Roll?
No
Does proto core not drop?
Anyone else just get dropped from the game?
6️⃣ 7️⃣
finally found that Ortiz Exuro build I saw among a few others that I want to test
do mmrs have back and forth
run 5 of countdown no equaliser chest
The constant crashes of this game is making me give up and it takes at least 2mins to get back in the game. Is anyone elses game crashing? How is a 8 year old game having this much crashes?
You can check your library for those things
Dont ever talk to me or my son ever again
Is anyone else disconnecting with delta 3’s.
Had them happened back to back during escalation runs.
idk about Delta 3's but mine just sends me straight to my desktop
Nice. Placed right back into a queue due to servers instabilities.
i cant im driving to class
3 kitsunebi squads in a row and not a single key D:
Hey guys, to raise my expertise to 30, do I need to equip the specific items listed in the loot box, or can I just collect the items that drop and donate them like trash?
Thinking about how my loadout costs 405 Exotic components
I mean is there any benefit if i equip the loot that i receive from the farm?
I'd say put the items on for better results. Although I can't imagine how long it'd take to make them Proficient. Unfortunately
If i equip the items that i loot just go to receice more items from this target loot or what
95
Does anyone know why the second day of SHD Exposed is not counted? Or is it just me?
You'll passively be leveling them up. But if you do get more of that item then donate the duplicates
Have you made sure the event is on? If you joined someone who had it turned off it will be turned off for you once you leave
There's an icon at the top of your screen that show the event is active.
Well but ill do 0 damage hahah so need to me carried
I dont like to be rushed
Could always yell scathing insults towards the enemy
@zealous osprey Run challenging countdown, and play the objectives that people are at.
You'll be the MvP.
While I am.... indifferent to this event, I have to admit. I'll be a smidge happier when I don't have the Kitsune squad spawning in the backrooms, somewhere
154
It is active because the first day counts correctly. For example, I completed the Eliminate elite Black task more than 25 times and it didn't count, plus others.
Well ill do that
Bring supportive skills, too. Just, not a Drone or Turret
There's actually a really fun build in the spreadsheet called "red FI" that I highly recommend for CD.
you heal others to heal yourself, and do solid damage too.
"With General Anderson's steady and intelligent leadership"
Are you sure about that, Nat?
"enemy of my enemy" gets you strange bedfellows that you unfortunately need to glaze
I'm just picturing it cutting to the alley where Anderson's body still is, flies buzzing.
At some point she's gonna have to accept that being on our good side is gonna be better for her in the long term. Unfortunately, she hasn't paid me. Yet
I mean, where he was I think a cremation is more likely
if y'all havent played library of congress you should
it goes to show how insane the true sons got after we grinded ridgeway for drops
Hey you be nice to those racoons, they haven't had a good meal in weeks.
"I can't read. So that's YOUR problem" - John Guy With Cool Jacket
"Anderson Burgers, 2 for 1"
mfer called to kill a mockingbird a book about a random farmhand
Oh boy! 2 nothing burgers! My favourite
I mean. It's not COMPLETELY inaccurate. I fear
we are turning him into a sand casting pattern actually
Using him as a trophy
His jacket is still cool, despite the bullet holes.
Will refractor build works more than T5
Ehhhh. Too much "Admiral, look. The British" for me.
He should've committed to the bit with a horrible hat to boot
im pretty sure he just yoinked it from the american history museum i doubt he had an actual uniform
Since the True Sons are not an actual military, that tracks.
Pretty crappy museum if they only had the jacket
He does have a full uniform you could get at that point.
I should've been Anderson's fashion advisor smh
general ridgeway was an actual commander before he declared himself the true sons general i bet he had a ceremonial uniform and saber
Would've had him wearing that "By any means necessary" jacket
anderson is just Some Guy that stepped into the power vacuum
I wonder if he was voted in or if Ridgeway thought he'd actually do something
What does the True Sons leader selection process look like
Ah well. We're probably gonna kill whoever is next, so it goes
"whoever has the most cousins, gets to be the leader".
"Whoever has the biggest truck"
Well, now what? Any speculation on what we're about to do this season? True Sons, Outcasts, and Hyenas are practically non-functioning at this point.
"Whoever can perform that major modern general song the best gets to lead"
i dont think there is a process, ridgeway doesnt seem the type to plan past his rule and we killed pretty much anyone who had an actual claim to his seat before we got to him
anderson probably just started a cult of personality then enforced his rule with the f'in secret police and defector witch hunts
(the remaining True Sons are very into theatre)
according to manhunt comms black tusk is just kicking our ass and the director is personally commanding operations like a conductor
"kicking our ass" and we have ruined every single plan they had for like....multiple (in game) months
this season is the make or break before we screw off to central park
Bruh. We're winning every major battles and somehow BT still kicking our asses.
they are cracking down on washington, in one comm they take out Every defector patrol at once and in another manny mentions he hasnt slept for days dispatching agents and putting out fires
Shout out Wyvern and Danvers for being able to get closer to achieving your plans than your mates. Shame you still failed, though
God the story is so forced.
i mean, black tusk is a global pmc
we got them cornered so theyre mustering all their strength to take us out
it all seems pretty reasonable to me
Mutiny could've been avoided if we apprehended Anderson at the end of The Pact climax mission.
Story progression of Div2 is just so slow.
Let's move this over to #division-universe
its why the season is called rise up and the icon is a fist breaking the black tusk logo
theyre at the end of their rope
I just hope the climax boss has a cool helmet/hat/sunglasses
it would be interesting if the director is another hunter from the recruiter's unit
He's definitely more talkative than most
the way team 9 operates is very much like hunters
Dying unceremoniously?
playing dirty and trying to take out division agents with overwhelming force before they can react
when your enemy is trained to adapt to anything, you want to try to prevent them from being able to adapt to your strategy in the first place
Nothing feels special anymore.
For years we've been fighting against supposed Elite units filled with psychopaths and all that and yet we took care of them just fine.
Shout-out Delores. My favourite twisted cycle path
Still a shame we can't get their sniper unit outfits. They go so hard
Though the only thing that we havent canonically kill is a Hunter. Brian got mortar'ed. His plot armor is too thick apparently.
We've killed countless Rogues and BTSUs at this point.
my brother in christ, WE are the elite unit filled with psychopaths, the rest are copycats
countdown outfit was given out at the start of the season
I mean moreso the generic rank and file, although Countdown's outfit still hits
Still funny how loyalist NPC agents are way too incompetent. The moment they turn rogue, they got better sense of drip and locked tf in.
Just look at Kelso.
Me: finally gets Faye's outfit
Also me: "I want the Black Tusk sniper outfit"
Glad I am as ever, indecisive and a glutton for outfits
this is subtle commentary on the intelligence of the average government official
And their fashion choices
fully ghillie/frogman fit would be great i think
We have a few.
Gah, does anyone else's game get really....pale? Looking randomly
Man- I need HELP with clearing out my inventory and especially my stash
I should put on my White Tusk outfit sometimes and plays Legendary.
is the tinkerer mask in general loot pool?
You can get one right now in one of the cheaper whole credit bundles, I think it contains 750 credits.
Should be.
Nah, although you can get it from Black Tusk Retal. I believe
The textures are wonky and the ghosts are back
conflicting answers 
@fallen marten Easy solution: can you make an item perfect in a few optimisations, and 1 recal, and is not an exotic?
if not: trash.
i think the sakura ghillie suit is sick but i wish we got a matching skin for mantis
after some more testing I feel like getting aggro is what charges it. Being out of cover of course increases the likelyhood of being targeted by the mobs
Keep your exotics and a copy of each named item.
You really don't need to keep copies of Named Items.
the LZ ones you can refarm via CD/retal, the DZ ones are rarely vital for anything.
Just cover yourself in like....20 Mantis', and a Strega. For good measure
the only named item im going out of my way to optimize is archivist because i dont like grinding story missions
Better to be safe than sorry I guess. Though I'd definitely trash any related items that are exclusively needed for tank builds.
according to Google one can get a tinkerer from the climax mission at Potomac Event Center
I prob should’ve clarified and that’s my bad - she exposed charges with being within los of enemies and that usually comes with moving outside of cover
Or any items in general related to tank builds.
That is a great way to have a nearly maxed out stash, take it from someone who did it for years.
Just focus on Retal grinding for those Reconstructed Caches, and you'll save more and more space over time.
yes, potomac master is where you normally get it
but black tusk kill squads give the bp and are much easier to grind
understandable
You get materials to craft an exotic from any faction right? Or do i have to do certain faction for certain parts?
I never paid attention but when I was looking at the table, turns out I can craft 7 new exotics.
Now I got 68 unique exotics in total.
ubisoft ubisoft i have a new idea, make a mechanic where enemies can be downed like agents do, 10% for red, 50% for purple and 100% for elites, they can be revived or taken down, with custom take down animation you can monetise upon and then make gear set that specifically works around taking out downed enemies
WE'LL BE RICH
no lol
And then we can add snoop dogg voice lines instead of ISAC.
oh and a mountain dew tie-in
Yo dawg. I think my system down son, bzzzt, oh we back, but I think it’s a backup homie!
why is riven of a thousand voices a mod I just realized that
I actually had the name before she did, but I did play des2 as well!
Is the Impetus DZ only?
No
Is tinkerer not working
You can check the spreadsheet if it's locked, but very few newer items are DZ-only.
For some reason its not on the spreadsheet
Trying to use streamline with determined not working or am i doing something wrong
It doesn't work with proto items
I didn't think it was new, I thought it was in the game for a while, thus my confusion when I couldn't find it on the spreadsheet
Not using proto
What are you using then?
Lemme send in build advice
kk
@jagged shell Yeah it's probably just a time thing, the spreadsheet is community run so the folks that organise it haven't put it in yet.
what would you do if we spammed grenade launchers in your mouth
Hold off on my real last wish.
Y'all ain't getting it, no matter how many Titan Charges you throw at the numbers wall.
Waiting to see the daily mission rotation and the fallout as obviously it's the wrong gear sets haha.
Literally any choice is going to have someone complaining, so eh.
"omg its not DCD with striker". Count it.
Yaaaas, the tears fuel me. Or something. I don't know. You know the game is still alive if people actually care. So that's a thing.
As long as people don't rage and trip the auto-mod, it's easier on us mods, so I'm cool with it.
Someone wished it, O Agent mine
Glad I got out. But MAN, Riven (the wish dragon) was so cool
Match making in escalation right now .. weird... People inviting T10.. escalation when team full just leave the escalation..this process continues again and again
Sometimes it's better to cut the rope before you all drown.
This conversation means nothing because THIS reset is gonna be strikers in Escalations. just you all wait.
Hey riven can you grant me a god roll proto mpx at the cost of half my armor permanently
Alright. So it's gonna be anything BUT Strikers
"Granted, your agent now can only use an MPX."
Unit Alloys, Breaking Point, Striker, Rifle, Holster
Rivens. Can you spawn in uhhh rocky road ice cream?
If I could make a deal to gain a Perfect Proto Lexington but could never use any gun ever again I'd genuinely take that.
"granted, it's sultanas"
can I have a salmon ice cream\
What if Riven has been teasing us on the destiny collab in coming all this time with their user
Negotiator's Dilemma, Weapon mod, Petrov, True Patriot and Douglas and Harding
So are you guys going to all go farm proto strikers this reset? Because it WILL be strikers
No it’s going to be holster
hey now, no spoilers.
anyone can dream
It will be ice cream
it will be side arm but be bugged again
500 True Patriot drops
gear mods!
What if it's mods again; I am definitely 100% certain no-one will comment on that again.
i mean, d&h means proto punch drunk
has ubi ever commented on diversifying the meta. the fact that Strikers is just the correct gear set to take into like all the content is lame
what
Actually they have talked about it quite a lot, including fixing the "dtooc problem"
You can run tipping scales and not miss out on an insane amount of dmg
tunnel vision moment
fixing the dtoc problem is simple
unironically just remove it
i mean i know theres a ton of builds that CAN work but strikers is the best option like. all the time no matter what. it probably should not be like that
you can run a mortar build and outperform the average striker user
Its probably more of a dmg problem, you are not incentivized to value anything else other than dmg.
keep it restricted to demolitionist, fox's prayer and smart cover
Tipping Scales goes brrr
this does not solve the problem, it attempts to address a symptom. Which is why it's never as easy as it sounds.
To be fair to the devs it is not an easy problem to fix
To add as well, don’t forget strikers need a healer
Refactor 🙏
no taunt for tanks, no resetting health gate or overheal/damage reduction for healers that sort of thing
hah, could use? yes. need? debateable
the simple answer, is that it's not a simple answer. And do you replace one problem, with a distinctly different but none-the-less still existing problem.
Refactor is like a ragebait simulator. heals me when I need it least, doesn't do anything when I need it most.
buff the eagle bearer 🗣️ i think its talent is really cool 🗣️ why isnt it good 🗣️
it forces more diversity in damage attributes by getting rid of the BiS
and honestly, non damage attributes on guns shouldnt be a thing in the first place
Idk man maybe a bad refactor user
Idk how good a Refactor user has to be, since 100% of the heals come from the skills, and the skills are dum dum XD
you can manually target both turret and drone
In their view maybe a change is not needed at all, Division 2 has grown substantially this year and is in Ubisofts top 3 games atm. Maybe in development of Div 3 they will try to address this issue but I'm not sure they will start changing dmg formulas or giving huge changes in value to certain blue attributes and/or giving healers even more in their kit. They might feel Striker being the best is just fine for the game as the game has grown despite its "gear issues"
I am not sure if you are aware, but typically when a bullet passes through a thing that is alive, the alive thing leaks the fluid that sustains it, which is otherwise known as bleeding. There are also status affects caused by a shotgun, for example, in the form of potential for infection.
Whilst the game has some contrivances, they aren't actually make-believe and stem from real world things. This was a response to the "just remove the not bullet specific damage" thing.
What?
that was a really funny way to phrase all that but like what are you talking about
its really strong what are you on about
its my main striker AR
BASED
I used it on a heartbreaker build and hit like 12 million dps barelt trying
you are a fake eagle bearer enjoyer
I love eagle
Heartbreaker Eagle Bearer? Are you John Division
eb is cash with umbra as well, the fire rate increase well offsets the lack of a damage talent
i meant brandy
i can love the eagle bearer but also want it to be stronger.... the eagle bearer must rain supreme
reign*
I use a proto DMR with the status effect augment as my other weapon and it kinda slaps for some reason
I agree with you that ammo specific status effects is not the issue at all
the biggest upside of EB is that you can use it at range because it has the silly LMG accuracy ramping mechanic
i promise im not illiterate just tired
if you dont know what im talking about, read the talent tooltip + try scoping in with an lmg
ayoo another title update on May 12, nice; I am not used to the pace of fixes for the game, the developer kinda went more or less an entire year at one point without doing a whole lot in that department.
if its invaded this week just host your own
Wooh lag switchers in console pvp
can't wait to be disappointed again in 30 mins
why would you be disappointed? this time is strikers, for sure
Bom Dia👊
Does anyone notice, how prototype augment percent are counting? I have everywhere double damage, and together have to be 18℅, but in stats it shows 16.2℅. And its always change by him self, even im not switching items. Thats somekinda visual thing?
And if im looking on stats, where is that double damage(Echo) its found on 7 pcs, but i have on all 9. There is limit?
Your non equipped weapons don't count towards augment stacking
Okey, i think i get it. So he is only counting one gun, that who you are using + 6 gear items
So max echo dmg chance what you can get, is 21%
Correct
Thank you!
It’s nearly time
Equip your Battlegear, Strikers. Soon we grind
can't wait to grind Riggers again
I will not Pray 4 Striker. Because I'm aware it will come no matter what
Heretic
Striker doesn't need more buffs, pray for TP.
Is there a TP shortage again
Striker is the true calling..
How do i get this crafting material Diamon Transceiver
Retal's
@topaz cliff Black Tusk Retaliations finished, or Team 9 Kill Squads from any faction.
to agitate BT, do their missions/activities/anger another faction enough and BT move slowly up.
Everyone will have a full agitation meter after seeing these loot allocations in 10 mins
Being ahead in time zones makes everyone else not knowing yet so much better.
It's annoying AF in Escalations. Always check their builds beforehand and call them out lol
Man Conflict is such easy levels, I'm getting thousands of mats in like a 30 min span
maybe today guys, maybe striker today
I'll take Refactor/FI, or another UA day, Ceska or Providence. Theres a lot of wins
hope strikers on a weekend ngl
Refactor not so much as its a blue core but if you have 3/4 proto refactors you can run some blue cores
4 mins till hopes get dashed 😄
Providence is a W
nope
Who doesn't want a perfect gift, and the mission is mildly annoying
DZ item
I am very sure it drops
WHAT IS JT
You are wrong - unless maybe now as proto
PRAY FOR BREAKING POINT
You know thats what I mean
It is a DZ item, sir
DZ items drop in Escalation as proto
What
Well I need this confirmed to me, so it drops as a non LA item, or as a LA
mayne....
LA?
Loot allocation
What did we get
The Tombs: Petrov
Manning National Zoo: Urban Lookout
Bank Headquarters: True Patriot
American History Museum: Breaking Point
Space Admin HQ: Providence Defence
Petrov contractor gloves farm...? Bleh.. barely worth the effort
LOL
It is a DZ item and doesn't drop in the LZ. You can get it from certain caches tho or the crafting blueprint via Reconstructed Caches
There ya go, I am sure drib will update pinned thing soon
.
Welp
at least one persons happy
Another day, another escalation skip
Doesnt count.. he Prayed after 10..
Breaking Point is alright. Can upgrade my 1-shot build
Not 100%, and maybe it takes some work to find out if this is related to the loot allocation or not
I got a prototype SysCor mask from Escalation. So it's possible but so rare
Was it the loot allocation or random
Masks
Then sir, theres more evidence for what I'm saying
Is there any named Petrov kneepads? Or is there only contractor gloves
It doesn't matter if you can't farm it lol. Perhaps it's not even intended, who knows
The only other named petrov is a crafted vest
And Contractor's Gloves
INF hates me
Who is cooking the targeted loot😂
It's randomized daily
Im sure striker will be there on tuesday after the 5h maintenance
Good tho, haven't open game in 3 days and enjoying some free time after work
Could use some better Contractor's too
you're welcome by the way.
Well BP isn't that bad either
they should make a mode called Escalation where you can like, play harder versions of missions to farm for prototype gear
No. I reject that
... what, with no new AI? What are they gonna do just make them bullet sponges with more dmg?
i know we're all joking but god i HATE the ai in this game. they are genuinely frustrating to play against and not in a good way. STOP RUNNING
if they were like outplaying me and flanking me sure but i take one shot in the same cardinal direction as grenade man and he sprints 5 kilometers away from me
Why are you running. Why are you running?!
guess whos internal alarm didnt go off
Bro I'm having so much trouble finding players for escalation, @feral knoll what is the build you use for solo escalation?
something happened to them because they loved running like this in Y1 for quite a while until they patched it
I'm straight up blueballed at this point. Striker better come around soon
hah, called it.
Rigged
Called it lmao.
Called 1 out of my 5 guesses
That was yesterday
.....and we wait again for tomorrow
Oh wait. That was Hard Wired. I'm dense
Manning: Urban Lookout
Bank HQ: True Patriot
AmericanHM: Breaking Point
Space Admin: Prov'```
drib feel free to wipe that whenever you're free 
oh nvm that was fast.
Can't wait for Liberty Island Strikers
Lincoln Memorial Strikers
The fact we can't even get Unit Alloys to compensate for no strikers.....
move quick around here lolol.
an annoying mission with strikers is better than no missions with strikers
Hm. I havent changed anything in my gear setup, and somehow my drone went from skill tier 3 to skill tier 2
Any of those that gives dps?
did you enable the current (SHD exposed) event? It turns off the seasonal modifiers.
Can someone help me get the quickstep pistol?
I did. I didnt think my skill tier was from a seasonal modifier tho. Interesting
So mid armor again for prototype
I really want prototype core. But apparently its bugged
Just Core Strength yesterday, as #division-tweets says.
Ah
Next time its in escalation ill have to try again. I was getting absolutely nothing on tier 1-2
best way to farm for overdogs rn?
meh nothing worth while to grind proto, i guess im back to retal
hyena retaliation
thank you
hi hi guys
TP detected 
OF COURSE IT IS.
you will make off meta builds and you will like it
Ive gotten 4 of them from caches the last 2 days
god i hate having to farm retaliation heroic. i swear this game is beyond inconsistent. first group i melt with no buffs active, the next i do next to no damage and the game spits on my face
Wow, prototype breaking point
No dipsh*t, I want the damn tipping scale
yeah no, screw this even. im starting to get tired of having the furry squad spawning on my arse at the absolute worse time possible. and to rub salt, im sure this damn game knows exactly what its doing. im kitting the big hammer dude and for some reason i have an over agressive sniper pepering me with small arms fire
Is why ive been staying in New York until that event is over. Those enemies do not spawn in new york/brooklyn
True Patriot on TOP
I think it's really funny that it spawns kitsune's whenever you finish your retaliation, so you just have like 30 seconds to bum rush them and try to get some keys before the game rips you away
It does that everytime doesnt it. I was farming those watch exos yesterday and that happened to me a lot too
yeah screw that. yesterday i spent the entire day clearing the map to farm some keys, not a single spawn. and every time i do retaliation i get a full squad at the end
the more i play this game, the more im convinced it reads what yorue doing and tries to find a way to screw you over
have you done the lanterns around the map? if you want to farm keys they are the easiest way
no, and something tells me im not going to bother
oh well yeah you can just look up a guide to see where they are. theres like 40 of them and interacting with them guaranteed spawns a squad of kitsune's. but if you just dont wanna bother then what can u do
im only playing this to level up a little before survival and crossplay eventually drops, cuz division 2 has the bad habit of testing my patience
You know how survival works right?
seriously ubisoft, f@ck you. i just spawn inside a kitsune group. what is this
When is the survival mode coming? Is there a date or just this year?
later this year supposedly
