td2-general-chat

[mighty creek]

No one knows.

[wraith tundra]

im not even going to bother remember how it was in Div 1 cuz chances are Ubisoft is going to screw it over
those scam artists told in the trailer its was going to come with crossplay in the first season of this year and he got left to dry

[mighty creek]

Ay relax man.

[ornate crystal]

they said later this year smh

[wraith tundra]

five bucks says xmas, cuz excuse to cover dc in snow or some crap

[ornate crystal]

you say that like you are disappointed about that

[wraith tundra]

waiting for ubisoft updates is like watching paint dry so ..........

[mighty creek]

I mean the exact date.

[golden raptor]

So this year we’re expecting the dlc & survivors separately or will it be one dlc?

[mighty creek]

Hopefully free gamemode.

[wraith tundra]

like, right now, unless they remove retaliation theres zero reason to go farm things like raids and dark zone if you want exotics. theres zero reason to play pvp. the only exotics that dont have blueprints, i assume, is the one tied to the new manhunt

[wraith tundra]

probably its all going to be tied to the same DLC, ubisoft gotta cash in that buck for their china bosses after all

[golden raptor]

I dont think thats how the deal worked, Tensent only bought into the big IP’s like assasins and rainbow 6

[mystic notch]

All i want is cross play lol. Couldnt care less about survival. Hated it in div 1. Ill hate it here too

[golden raptor]

They will have to fix cheaters before crossplay

[mystic notch]

Hopefully they do it fast

They wont. But one can hope

Its really fun when rouge agents, kibushi and elite patrols all swarm you at the same time

[hardy rover]

meanwhile, red dead online:

at least we get stuff

[wraith tundra]

funny enough thats one reason i dont care for GTA VI. ive played V, the multiplayer is a grind fest designs to screw you over, its full to the bring with grifters and, at least back in my day (going from ps3 to ps4) full of people with inflated wallets of cheater money from the last generation
if anything, ill pick up the game at a lower price to play the story

[hardy rover]

quite a few cheaters stumbling about RDO rn but they were all funny so far

playing it on pc out of sheer adhd boredom but i know ill be done with it by june

[ripe spindle]

Looking for someone who still has the old Quickdraw mission active.
If you can start it, please invite me I only need the weapon.

[prisma notch]

Anyone get contractors gloves yet in escalation? Is it possible in loot pool??

[glacial shell]

what’s the best way to get overdogs?

[outer arrow]

why this game has donate all material button in expertise UI
I accidently hold space instead of press and my white and green mats are gone 😭

[prisma notch]

I got it running countdown with loot target gloves

[glacial shell]

how many runs ?

[wraith tundra]

farm retaliation. you want to farm the Hyenas retaliations. if you grind it on heroic theres an 80% chance i believe to drop an exotic blueprint tied to that specific faction, its a pain in the arse, but its a smaller loot pool. after which you can farm the materials by just completing retalliation

you can check which exotic belongs to which faction in the exotic tab on the crafting station

[prisma notch]

Maybe couple hours but they will drop

Yes got the blueprint for them gloves running retaliation on challenging also

[wraith tundra]

cant you get those pretty easily in the gloves target look or named item caches ?

[wraith tundra]

challanging is the best time/effort difficulty, buut if youu want to maximize your chances, bump into heroic and get lucky with the killsquads

not sure if you get a BTSU-9 kill squad in, for example, outcast retaliation, if you get a black tusk exotic or outcast one tho

[prisma notch]

Yes also exotic caches in countdown vendor but that’s more random

[glacial shell]

is there a way to matchmake hyena retaliations ?

might be a dumb question

[prisma notch]

Go to lfg sever and ask if someone can help you in retaliations, I would be on couch with wife atm

[wraith tundra]

yes, retaliation works by filling up the faction statues that you can see in the retaliation tab on the map. all you need to do is fight that specific faction until the circle is filled, after which, the game will assign a random sector for that faction, tasking you with clearing all the control points under a time limit

[wraith tundra]

make the wife play XD

[glacial shell]

my hyena retaliation thing is red with a 1 in the middle of it now with a timer

5 hour

[wraith tundra]

you should have a button prompt saying initiate retaliation

[glacial shell]

i did that last time and it threw me in solo

[wraith tundra]

ah. yeah no. if you dont have a premade squad youre out of luck

[glacial shell]

so i should ask in lfg for “ hyena retaliation “

[wraith tundra]

either that or go solo

[tender wave]

You can matchmake ingame for retaliation but the group leader will be the one who chooses which faction to go with, though they might pass leadership to others if asked

Soloing them is entirely doable though and worth learning

[haughty wharf]

I always get all the bad retaliation blueprints first and the good ones last -_-

[glacial shell]

quick question if i join someone doing for example cleaner retaliation does my cleaner bar have to be red

[haughty wharf]

No

[glacial shell]

thank you

[haughty wharf]

🫡

[leaden hull]

can we still get big alejandro from drop?

[rich heart]

A friend of mine joined my lobby yesterday and showed me his proto contractor's gloves. Definitely drops.

[haughty wharf]

Yes, countdown and summit targeted lmgs, weekly donation cache, exotic caches and True Sons retaliations 👀

[leaden hull]

alright thx

[lunar notch]

Finally hit expertise 30. Was a real ride but managed to get from 26-30 in under a week 🫠

[haughty wharf]

Countdown?

[lunar notch]

Not gonna lie I ran control points every day for the materials and was working on some weapons I didnt have proficient.

Mostly because I didnt want to miss out on the kitzu spawns because I also needed some of those named items

[haughty wharf]

I need to do most of my skills, but I'm constantly running out of printer filament. I ran houndsman for majority of my named items

[lunar notch]

I also went from about 15millipn credits down to 1mill because I was spam buying skill mods for printer filaments

[haughty wharf]

I'm at 24 almost 25

Skill mods, didn't even think of that 🤦

[lunar notch]

Ya you get 6 filaments per skill mod deconstruction.

[haughty wharf]

Guess I'm about to go broke too 💯

[lunar notch]

Thankfully though ive been doing so much escalation I have more than enough cores to prototype some things

[haughty wharf]

Well done man 🎉🎉🎉

[lunar notch]

Prototype lexington is a good feeling.

[toxic musk]

Dear The Outcasts. Boo,

Sincerely. A disgruntled agent

[haughty wharf]

Do you lose the talent you had on it once you prototype it?

[lunar notch]

No so the talent you have on it just gets locked in

So make sure you have a talent on there you like having all the time. Personally I have measured on mine

I have a second one with killer that I use when I play alone though.

[haughty wharf]

I've saved a few with diff talents since they first dropped

[lunar notch]

I dunno how other people feel but on weapons that already fire fast I prefer measured over most guns 🤷‍♂️

[haughty wharf]

I use optimist

[mystic notch]

Exotic drop from a random yellow bar.

[rotund fog]

What’s today prototype loot

Anyone can send a screen shot

[toxic musk]

It is a pinned message, I believe

[lethal moon]

Correct. I see TP, Imma grind it when I finish work

[toxic musk]

Mmm. Fireworks

[lethal moon]

I use it on Countdown because I combined it with Setup and the Sheriff to create hilariously debuffed enemies.

[toxic musk]

The expert is here. God help us all

[lethal moon]

-Less Damage Output
-More Incoming Damage
-And a bit of armor repair because sure why not

[toxic musk]

Consider this, though. Fireworks indoors are very unsafe

[lethal moon]

The 1% armor regain per hit is very questionably effective.
But also, nah, totally safe. Trust.

[toxic musk]

Did you consider that. Both?

This is why I am hard headed and use Tipping Scales. Blind firing is far safer than lighting fireworks in rooms

[lethal moon]

Honestly the armor regain ability would be better if there wasn't a 1s internal cooldown on getting it per hit.

[remote lynx]

Share the Proxington screenshot or it didn't happen

[lethal moon]

I mean I also have a TS build with the Big Al because brrrrrrrrrrr but honestly I like the idea of the TP build. It's a shame it's... not all that good.

[mystic notch]

I want the big al soooo bad lol

[remote lynx]

Big Al?

[toxic musk]

Small Al's bigger brother

[remote lynx]

It dropped for me yesterday

[lethal moon]

Retaliations give the blueprint. Not sure if it's in the general loot pool or not.

[toxic musk]

It is, from memory

[mystic notch]

I keep trying retaliations but keep failing

[lethal moon]

Well the blueprint for Big Al drops from True Sons completions.

[remote lynx]

I really want a ProtoGR9 or a Proto Police M4

[lethal moon]

Mmmmmm Proto LMGs...

[toxic musk]

I want Echo on my Proto MK46

[mystic notch]

I got a proto on infantry mg5. It shreds everything

[toxic musk]

I'd also be fine with a non Exotic Big Al LMG which isn't an MG-42, but I cannot remember the actual name

[remote lynx]

What are the rolls? (Attributes)

[toxic musk]

.....Alda?

[lilac yew]

Is there anyone who got the bounty for the quickstep?

[mystic notch]

Sent a dm pic of it

[remote lynx]

Not bad that + magazine Size looks Handy

[lunar notch]

When i get home I can. At work currently 😂

[mystic notch]

Wish it was a larger mag. But it reloads super quick so its fine

[remote lynx]

Do you think the devs will tweak the Prototype system? I mean like rerolling attributes just like exotics

[mystic notch]

Doubtful

[remote lynx]

So the idea behind is that Proto items should be unique.

[lunar notch]

Im up in the air if I should keep amalgam on it or change it. I did get echo on my striker backpack and kneepads

[polar thorn]

Im back with backfire.

[frigid merlin]

Guys the green poison has hantavirus in i

It

[mystic notch]

Ok

[kind veldt]

some form of recal was mentioned in the PTS notes

well the developers notes post PTS to be clear

[trim coral]

how do I get my control points captured? I forgot to activate my scouts in week 3 and the haunted house has been under my control since last week

[kind veldt]

open map, bottom should have world settings, you can change difficulty or reset control points from there

[vapid wagon]

Stupid settlements can't even hold the control points >:(

[hybrid ore]

@muted arch You're looking for #lfg-raid-pc, GL Agent

[wraith tundra]

i too would like a lexi, if ubisoft didnt screw me over

now i need to farm boxes to get that damned thing

[lunar notch]

I'll give you one of the twenty i have 😂

[wraith tundra]

yeah i got 15 lvl 20 lexis back in the day

[brazen elm]

#lfg-pc

[frigid merlin]

Another boring day with nothing to farm

[kind veldt]

#lfg-playstation

[vivid acorn]

@kind veldt new here thanks

[vapid wagon]

i have 100 hours now! :D

[steady willow]

anyone else noticing tombs is not dropping petrov?

also seems to be dropping way less prototype on t10 compared to other missions

[vapid wagon]

im gonna love when the kitsunebis are finally gone

[glacial hull]

anyone here that can share the backfire exotic smg?

[kind veldt]

you can only share with people who were with you when they got it

[glacial hull]

oh thx

[fierce cypress]

Whats the best way to get big al and overdogs im doing retaliations for 2 Weeks and didnt get a Single blueprint

[hybrid ore]

@fierce cypress Check the "exotics" section of your Crafting Table (scroll down on the first screen) and make sure you're doing the right Faction.

[fierce cypress]

Okay thanks but retaliations is the best way ?

[hybrid ore]

If you want the crafting blueprints for them, it's the only way.

If you just want the Exotic, add "gloves" for Overdogs, or "LMG" for Big Al as your Targeted Loot for Retaliation as you farm it.

[fierce cypress]

Okay thanks my Friend but the blueprint can drop on challenging Right or just heroic?

[hybrid ore]

Exotic Crafting Blueprints drop from Retaliation in 2 ways:

1. you finish the Retaliation, and it's a chance to get that faction's blueprints.
2. you kill a Kill Squad from that faction, and you get a chance to get the blueprint.
   Check the Crafting Table to see where each thing you want drops from, you can find a hand over in #lfg-pc, GL Agent

[hoary glade]

Finally made my high end AR build

[silver eagle]

Overdogs drop from Hyenas. Do hyenas retaliation and on challenging you have 35% chance to get one of their blueprints when you complete a retaliation. Sooner or later you will get it

[topaz cliff]

Does anybody know the difference between the regular police m4 and the replica m4

[silver eagle]

No difference

[tender wave]

Replica is crafted, but no practical difference

[hoary glade]

Gave up on liquid engineer and just used 2 pc UA, fenris chest piece with obliterate, 1 chill out mask, overdogs, IA backpack with bloodsucker

[pulsar path]

good MORROW chat

[silver eagle]

I need 60 000 printer filaments to get proficient with 100 items to get me to level 30 expertise. But during the 3x expertise event I will only need 20k filaments. That is roughly 450 scavenging points. Let's go 😂

[verbal gale]

Waiting for them to leave so I can get my proficiency up with crap weapons and gear

[mighty ivy]

So how’s the bank looking today? Still bugged for targeted proto drops?

[verbal gale]

I’m on 19 expertise and it’s a struggle lol

[hoary glade]

Is this true?

[vapid wagon]

i love having to fight a team of bosses every 10 mins~

with no option to disable them

[forest talon]

I have like 5 now lol. But I gotta say I’m partial to St. Elmos

[hoary glade]

38 for me, debatjng whether i should deconstruct them or let em rot in my mail

[silver eagle]

Yea if my math is not wrong. 1 item is 600 filaments. I need 100 more items. You get level 30 at around 420 items.

[hoary glade]

How much items in total for expertise 30?

[rich heart]

You will speed up the process a lot by equipping random items/pieces/skills to expertise via levels.

[silver eagle]

100 items you need 60k filaments. For 400 you need 240k filaments. But if you wait for 3x event you only need 80k filaments. That gets you close to level 30

[mighty ivy]

Green gear sets level up quick too because you’re wearing multiple of them I believe

[silver eagle]

Yea I do it along the way. So it will be smaller amount by the time the event comes

[brave idol]

is there an expertise event coming or juts hypotethical?

[silver eagle]

I think once a season

[brave idol]

i ment proficiency event. 3x faster one.

[silver eagle]

And last one was at the end of last season

Yes the proficiency event is what I mean. When you donate materials and get proficiency 3x faster

[hoary glade]

If you're still in expertise 1

[zenith urchin]

or target and donate, especially during expertise event

[silver eagle]

That was just hypothetical. If you are expertise level 1 you dont get scavenging points that fast

[hybrid ore]

or something, I'm tired.

[hoary glade]

I wonder if there's a guide for expertise

[hoary glade]

Rest our dear rainbow skull 100%

[hybrid ore]

[No guide that I know of.](#ask-td2-community message)
[Someone should make one.](#ask-td2-community message)

[hoary glade]

Not that but a guide that breaks down the requirements to reach expertise 30 more efficient

[silver eagle]

So to be clear: you want an expertise event if you wanna donate. And a proficiency event if you wanna equip gear

Man they made sure it's all complicated

[brave idol]

proficiecny event halso helps with donation

your donations also count 3x

[brazen elm]

xp event for scavenging points, then expertise event to donate filaments

[brave idol]

so it is the best for leveling your expertise. expertise event helpls with increasing expertise of your gear/wepaons

your expertise : best is proficiency event. gear/weapon expertise : expertise event

[silver eagle]

Here I was thinking path of excile was complicated

[brave idol]

yeah you get 2x filaments in expertise event because they are used in increasing expertise of skills. in proficiency event you get 3x filaments

[hybrid ore]

Thankfully our skill tree doesn't have 135, 000 nodes.

[zenith urchin]

something like the osrs seasons might be sick ngl
endgame challenges to unlock skills that give insane boosts that would break vanilla

[jagged shell]

Would love this after survival

[zenith urchin]

they should give us a seasonal watch like div 2 china that gives global gear set talents

[earnest linden]

Anyone know how to get prototype loot ?

[midnight epoch]

Escalation

[verbal gale]

My favorite is when the rate they drop keys…I missed getting the quickstep and I’ve put about 20 or so keys in those caches and got every weapon almost twice except that

[forest talon]

I’ve only gotten two

[zenith urchin]

kitsunebi are so easy to kill theyre more of an annoyance than threat

[lethal moon]

Just target the tank and watch everyone else die of attrition

[vapid wagon]

#td2-build-advice message

[silver eagle]

I used over 200 keys and didn't get quickstep. I got it fast with someone who had Houndsman boutny. So good luck

[vapid wagon]

ye same here! its how i got almost 20 of em cause they were farming for a "red hollowman"

[rare edge]

Whats the quick and easiest way to improve expertise level?

[kind veldt]

there is no quick and easy way

[zenith urchin]

the quickest way is to suffer

[forest talon]

Set target loot and donate. Slow and painful. I just hit 10.

[kind veldt]

early low levels, farm countdown and donate copies of gear rotating what you farm, breaking down what you cant donate, and also rotating what you have equipped so it also gets level passively

[rare edge]

Im on level 2 65/100 and I cant seem to get it to increase

[kind veldt]

later levels is farming specific items or buying named itens in bulk to donate and donating a lot of mats

[lethal moon]

Gotta use other stuff or donate junk to boost the rank.

[kind veldt]

try a different build, donate more trash

[forest talon]

Other builds besides Striker 🤔

[lethal moon]

All the Printer Filament...

[zenith urchin]

go into your expertise menu, target a gear or brand set you havent maxed yet, go play countdown and donate everything

[jagged shell]

Put on 6 pieces of a gearset, run challenging countdown and at the end of the round donate everything

[rare edge]

Ah ok I run the same build every time. Lexington and alejandro with 4 x striker with equaliser and overload gloves lol

[kind veldt]

yes, i actually used a lot of random named items to try them out while upgrading expertise

[midnight epoch]

1.) Houndsman bounty farms. Named items are hard to find or seasonal.
2.) Targeted loot farms, specifically countdown and retaliations.
3.) Once you get everything else you can, you start making garbage builds with gear and exotics you need leveled.
4.) Finish off the last items with printer filament by farming mods from Targeted loot.

[forest talon]

Use different skills too and your specializations. Every bit helps.

[rare edge]

Thank you guys im gonna try run countdowns with different gear sets and weapons and see how i get on.
Will this work on summit floors too?

[jagged shell]

It works on summit, just worse, you need really good teammates as its just 3 carrying you rather than 7 others. Better to do countdown

[forest talon]

Honestly wouldn’t burn yourself out on this. It’s a marathon not a sprint. Mine started slow but it’s starting to ramp up a bit.

[rare edge]

Ive only ever ran core strength and striker builds lol

[midnight epoch]

That’s fine

[silver eagle]

I wouldn't use trash gear. I only use secondary/pistol/skill to get them proficient. But that is just my preference

[toxic musk]

Re-rolling augments is fun until you now need 30 cores because you failed the 50/50 on 3 items

[kind veldt]

well they can try a sniper build, healer build, turret build, and so on

[zenith urchin]

mortar turret build

[rare edge]

I wouldn't know where to start with this lol

[kind veldt]

#td2-build-advice

[forest talon]

I do want to make the core strength T6 flavor of the month build.

[kind veldt]

countdown makes it stupidly easy to get anything basic going

[small zealot]

I’m on Xbox too so if you ever want some assistance or advice/guidance I can help

[kind veldt]

keep your generic meta striker build saved, and use other things while playing regular content to try it out and so on

[vapid wagon]

best passive modifiers for dps?

[kind veldt]

seaosnal ones?

[willow geode]

Convert 1 Off, Compress Off, Nullify

[kind veldt]

think someone had a list how to min max each stat for each color if you wanted

[forest talon]

Can go max HSD or I like the HSD/Mag Size combo

[vapid wagon]

gotcha, thanks

[zenith urchin]

compress offense split offense nullify -> max handling
compress offense nullify convert 1 -> max hsd
compress offense nullify convert 2 -> max mag size

[rare edge]

Where will it tell me the best sniper build or the best turret build etc I literally need my arse wiping at this point

[kind veldt]

check the pins

[zenith urchin]

also replacing offense with defense or utility maxes out those respective stats

[jagged shell]

I run saturate on defense or utility, Invert on offence, third you can do split on the other you didn't saturate

[forest talon]

Hotshot with Determined basically.

[zenith urchin]

determined is training wheels

[jagged shell]

Respect to training wheels

[kind veldt]

they are the hot wheels of sniper builds for sure

people cant seem to admit they are toy cars

[earnest linden]

@midnight epoch can you not target the prototype loot ?

[midnight epoch]

Negative

[kind veldt]

escalation has daily rotation

[zenith urchin]

force yourself to learn how to aim and enjoy the vast variety of exotic mmrs

[midnight epoch]

Soooo shroud?

[forest talon]

No training wheels or pedals. Just push power

[kind veldt]

nemesis, shroud, mantis are all good exotic options

[midnight epoch]

Which is best in a raid?

[zenith urchin]

shroud smart cover for killing things instantly, mantis decoy for being sneaky, dread edict for sustained firefights

[vapid wagon]

is max handling good for anything? why not do the other 2?

[kind veldt]

raids have such specialized builds i cant give honest advice

[jagged shell]

I prefer handling, if you're already hitting targets well you can do max mag size

[kind veldt]

handlingis good but not a big DPS increase like you asked

[forest talon]

I need to try the mantis decoy setup. I don’t even think I have Smart Cover yet 🤔. But my hotshot is Shroud/White Death

[zenith urchin]

theres a sweet spot for mag size with frenzy, and some dps mainstays are unwieldy

[vapid wagon]

i dont see much of a diff asside from going frenzy with lmgs

[jagged shell]

With certain setups you end up having too much downtime on Frenzy if you go max magazine

[forest talon]

Think mixing talents with modifiers

[timber hatch]

Nemesis is really the only one used, primarily on morozova

[zenith urchin]

nemesis is still niche for morozova

[midnight epoch]

I can’t ad-clear with any Chainkiller build?

[forest talon]

Or just build up charge compromise and melee

[arctic forge]

Hey is anyone doing lanterns? I am stuck on 39/40 even tho i made sure all mine on the map has been collected! I went through the route twice! But i saw a solution that if I join someone who is doing it and they let me press the uncollected lantern then it fixes it. So lmk if anyone is doing lanterns!

[vapid wagon]

how do i get the currenty to buy more passive modifiers

[arctic forge]

I think you do Journey

[forest talon]

Journey

[jagged shell]

You also get currency through manhunts I believe

[timber hatch]

The main use of it is killing the chungas quickly. You can kill them before the train doors even open, although that takes a 100% handling build. But more or less any decent HH build can kill them with the tac50. You use the high base damage of the nemesis with the tac50 to always maintain high amounts of HH stacks

[vapid wagon]

hmm ill do the first one, then opt for hsd once i get more sheckles

[forest talon]

If you aren’t using a skill build you should be able to just drop your skill numbers to at least boost your WH and Armor for the time being. Cleave or something it’s called. Just make sure you level all 3 active modifiers.

[hoary glade]

Hopefully the next exp event is before the expertise exp event

[silver eagle]

I don't think so. The last XP event was 2 weeks ago

[vapid wagon]

you can level up your modifiers?

[jaunty flicker]

10 exotic cashes no overdogs i might implode

[agile gyro]

Chief your better off just grinding the blueprint in retaliation 😭

[granite fjord]

Hey guys
I started td resurgence a week ago, and wanna play div2 but dont have a rig for it
I was gonna buy a ps4 pro, to get div2, is it comfortable playing on that console? Thanks for the answers

[jaunty flicker]

ive been doin that for like 4 hours

[agile gyro]

goated RNG

[jaunty flicker]

youre tellin me

[polar thorn]

Every platform has their own "comfort" but PC is probably the easiest way.

[granite fjord]

Yea i guessed, u dont got the budget for a pc, thats why i wanted a console since here i can get it for much cheaper

[silver eagle]

I've been playing shooters since quake 2 and I cannot imagine aiming using a controller. You guys are nuts

[sudden meadow]

What's you PC specs? You checked requirements?

[polar thorn]

Mine is like pretty below average, sitting at 40 fps

[granite fjord]

Nothing, i have a 2004 asus laptop 💀

[ebon maple]

uh, I somehow got the gear caches from the event vendor in my inventory, is there any way I can report that glitch, because I dont think thats supposed to happen.

[edgy fable]

Not sure what you mean, can you post a screenshot in #ask-td2-community

[ebon maple]

Will do, one moment

[mighty ivy]

Bank is dropping targeted loot

[hot quiver]

Relatable Ive opened lots of them and done a million countdowns. Haven't gotten any.

[mild meteor]

These bugs 🤬......second time in a row trying to run a T5 solo (and was moving along reasonably well) and I missed a red foam rusher out of my blind spot. Which normally isn't a huge deal. But I get killed by the foam-lock bug. I love how my toon just stands there locked in place for several seconds after I've clearly been free while taking nuke bullets to the face. So good 💪

[mighty ivy]

I’d love a few measly I-frames when you revive from a hive. Very annoying to get nuked as you’re slowly reanimating. Just a few!

[toxic musk]

Thinking about how I've ran into someone cosplaying as Vin Diesel twice today

[wind falcon]

wow trollday today again ?

[polar thorn]

Some people really need to humble themselves when they're playing escalation, dear god.

[fluid meadow]

except that it does give iframes

[mighty ivy]

I demand more then

“Please sir can I have some more”

[cloud nymph]

yo could i still get the quickstep

[graceful jay]

I hate to ask, but would anyone be able to help me get Quick Step? I don't have access to the bounty T-T

[cloud nymph]

you just like me twin

[graceful jay]

Frfr, I've been running Countdown thinking it was apart of the normal pool and just found out lol

[frosty brook]

its in the event caches too, im new and i got one fairly quickly

[cloud nymph]

enraging tbh

[cloud nymph]

where i get those again🫥

[frosty brook]

farming Kitsunebi squads for keys

[opal marsh]

It does. When you get revived, DO NOT SPRINT OR ROLL, that cancels the I-frames

I saw a video demonstrating it a month ago
Will have to dig it up

[mighty ivy]

What a bizarre thing to code into the game. What else would anyone else do

Also I’m pretty sure you get shredded as you’re reviving and lose some of that sweet armour you got

[opal marsh]

No

Revive hives only give a set portion of total armor on revive

Not full health

[mighty ivy]

I know. And based on certain factors you can boost the armour you get

[wind falcon]

funny when all pll in a run got -damage at the final report

[lunar tapir]

friend of mine cant get any of the outfits from the blossom event even after donating keys.
any1 know how to solve?

[silver eagle]

He checked his apparel inventory?

[hot quiver]

Are they donating or using them on the apparel cache?

[lunar tapir]

he did the option to press X to open the community cache its not available

[lunar tapir]

Donated 3 keys to the community cache

[silver eagle]

I only donated one key. After that I went to my inventory/apparell and there was a ronin outfit, mask and gloves

[lunar tapir]

the event screen still shows the outfit for you? as if u haven't got the first reward?

[mighty ivy]

Did he walk directly to the event vendor at the WH?

[lunar tapir]

yep

[mighty ivy]

And down on community cache your friend can’t hold the open cache button?

[azure nacelle]

Need 1 for tier 10

[acoustic bay]

what if there is no activities in a specific area ?
i tried to reset control points,,i tried to log off and in,,nothing happens they still not spawning

[lunar tapir]

thats right

[gleaming bramble]

Would say my luck is bad but 2 prototype gear before a single quickstep drop..

I'm suffering so much

[mighty ivy]

Why do you want it so much?

[sage thicket]

It's probably the most useful sidearm in the game due to it's talent?

[gleaming bramble]

The talent 🥺

I got a proto chill out mask and a proto first bloom...but cant for the life of me get one simple pistol..also 4 lexingtons and thats not counting the exotics and other names armor/weapons ive gotten

[mighty ivy]

For what, running away a bit faster?

[mighty ivy]

Lol you’ve got some decent drops there tbh. But you want the gun so much you don’t see it. But I get wanting something, I’ll spend many hours going after stuff myself.

I don’t use my pistol atm while I level up others for higher expertise

[gloomy venture]

Any problems with the servers? I have timed out 3 times in the last 20 minutes and my internet is rock solid. No issues with other games or services.

[sage thicket]

That's 20% faster. When the game has this much movement it really does amount to a lot.

[leaden hull]

does my retaliation reset if i change from challenging to heroic?

[mighty ivy]

Fair enough. It’s handy but he’s going after it like it’s the golden gun

[livid wraith]

i've gotten more delta errors than usual today

[sage thicket]

I mean. I've used one other sidearm after getting Quickstep. That was Regulus in a headshot build.

Quickstep is the golden gun.

[wispy pewter]

quick question , whats the most efficient way to lvl up augments

[mighty ivy]

I don’t agree but maybe it’s above my level

[agile gyro]

Elaborate and name drop pls

[mighty ivy]

Rule 12?

[agile gyro]

Okay elaborate and don't name drop but roast them then

[mighty ivy]

Lol

[valid lava]

I wouldn't say it's above your level necessarily, Quickstep is just a QoL item that makes general travel less of a pain in the ass

[mighty ivy]

Just wearing them I suppose. But weapons you need to get kills with them

[mighty ivy]

I certainly agree with that. My opinion was just that I didn’t feel like it enhanced gameplay for me. Especially not as a ‘golden gun.’ QoL sure. Some retaliations are pure ass for how far some control points are.

[sage thicket]

Personally getting Quickstep has changed the way I move and play the game. When I start running or need to move fast I'm switching to sidearm.

[valid lava]

I'd agree that it's not some game-warping experience, but in a game like this, that kind of QoL increase isn't something that comes very often

[mighty ivy]

Then I’ll concede the point. I was glad to have it. I’m just about to reach expertise 27 so yeah just having whatever on me to do well in missions and to level up proficiency

[gleaming bramble]

the first thing i wanted was the Lexington..and I have my godroll (my version of a godroll for my build)

Issue now..Keys are dropping so little today that I am not getting many chances for the gear cache keys

[mighty ivy]

When I got the Lexington from this new event I discovered I’d already maxed its proficiency. Must’ve trashed my old one ages ago 👀 most keys I get are from either hunting the loot goblin or entry of a mission and they appear. Often

[hazy hound]

Hey guys whats best to buy witht the stars event exotics cashes or legacy season cashes ?

[midnight epoch]

Exotic caches

[tropic sentinel]

Legacy caches are useless, unless you really want sytem corruption, which is also useless.

[hazy hound]

Ok good to know thanks

[sage thicket]

Exotic caches nets you at least exotic components if nothing else.

[gleaming bramble]

gotta keep my other 4 when i hit expertise 30.

[mighty ivy]

Good call

The devs that we could get exotic prototypes in the future

[gleaming bramble]

would be if I werent expertise 3.

[mighty ivy]

As I mentioned green gear sets get proficient quicker because you’re wearing multiple. And when you trash them you get lots of components for donating to improve proficiency. But it’s costly

[gleaming bramble]

Issue is how long its gonna take to even get to expertise 10.

[coral hedge]

Dont stress with it, wait untill it comes an event for it then you Will make it with less pain

[gleaming bramble]

I have a friend that said it still isnt worth it but I really would like to get proto gear

I need to do escalations. but I have NEVER done them..Assuming thats how i get proto gear

[kind veldt]

escalation is how you get it

tier 0 is the same as heroic

[lunar hare]

the Lvl40 Starters Guide has a new section for Escalations and Prototype

[jagged shell]

@gleaming bramble If there is ever a day you should play escalation, its when ARs or LMGs are in the allocation

[vapid wagon]

can i get other people to join me mid summit?

[lunar hare]

yes

[vapid wagon]

oh okay in that case

PLEASE I NEED A FOURTH ONE TO CARRY US

🥺

[gleaming bramble]

what is it today?

[lunar hare]

pins

[gleaming bramble]

Ohhh i see it now.. A bunch of gear sets

[mental heron]

Hasn’t changed from countdown and the general Anderson mission next to it since yesterday in terms of ARs

[midnight epoch]

It’s worth it. Yeah just do some low tier ones, it’s basically the same as heroic missions

[hot quiver]

My first event cache was quickstep. Only lucky thing
Ive gotten in the game.

[mental heron]

I got a Lexington in my 5th nearly god rolled as well. Never seen one since. Would love a proto version to drop though when ARs are in escalation again

[rapid obsidian]

had 6 lexingtons, all same rolls

[mental heron]

Damn you

[fierce cypress]

Is the striker set good with the big al too ?

[rapid obsidian]

tipping scales best with LMG

[fierce cypress]

Okay thanks m8

[kind veldt]

big al works great on striker

[fierce cypress]

What is the best escalation Mission to Farm this week in Terms of How fast and easy it is

[midnight epoch]

Any way to make up for the crit?

[pulsar fox]

If I’m not expertise 30, am I just at the mercy of proto drops? Can’t reroll them either?

[midnight epoch]

It’s not as bad as you think but it will definitely be a grind

[pulsar fox]

I’m only expertise 3 😭

[mighty ivy]

I think there’s a chance for one of the attributes to god role when you upgrade

[kind veldt]

stay at lower tiers until you get small upgrades then start climbing up

when you upgrade ONE stat will be over the cap, chances for 2 or 3 are drasticly lower

dont feel forced to do chase either

escalation is good that you can earn proto

[pulsar fox]

I’ve already been running t4 by myself, just waiting for a Stryker drop

[kind veldt]

then yeah it's mostly that

changed from tier 3 to 5 recently

higher ones can give good rolls but i found it rather troublesome and long

[pulsar fox]

I can’t actually reroll the drops though until 30 right?

[timber hatch]

Dont worry about proto stuff then. Its end game of the end game stuff, there's plenty of other stuff to focus on first if your that new to the game

[kind veldt]

you cant reroll stats in any proto gear, only the augment

having expertise 30 doesnt mean rerolling proto

[timber hatch]

cant*

[kind veldt]

fudge

[pulsar fox]

My protomod option is greyed out, but that is only for the augment? I thought it also rerolled the stats randomly

[kind veldt]

no stats

only augment reroll or upgrading

that might come later

[umbral dock]

me with my one negotiator’s kneepads

[midnight epoch]

100% worth it. I won’t have any access to Proto upgrades for a long time either, and the power spike from even just a couple drops was noticeable.

[feral knoll]

Guys what are the odds that due to travelling for the next 4 days I miss out on both OD and TS rotations for Escalations. 😭

[rapid obsidian]

I need TS so bad

Its like they are doing it on purpose

[feral knoll]

I am a recent tipping scale + pestilence convert. But OD will live forever in my heart.

[rapid obsidian]

im tipping scales with Proto Stoner

what dream are made off

[feral knoll]

Nice. The current Kitsunebi squads don't like pestilence tho, once the ticks start the "why are you running?!" Snipers can't get far.

[hardy rover]

Snipers running a football field’s length away as soon as they spawn

I had to turn off fog of war for the event

[ebon parrot]

black tusk now have control points???

[lunar hare]

not exactly, Retaliations are something else

[ebon parrot]

no bro im on normal open world

black tusk legit have CP!!!

[gloomy venture]

So many delta errors

Right in the middle of an escalation mission and we were doing so well.

We all DC'd. There is something going on with the servers and if I had to guess it is load related. They probably didn't plan for this many players coming back.

[kind veldt]

if you fail a retaliation they keep those control points, they dont spawn naturally

[fierce cedar]

What are the targeted loot for escalations today? Can someone let me know

[edgy fable]

Check the first pin in this channel

[wind falcon]

retails r so much popcorn these days, one is complaining while not his retail first, another1 is letting run fail cause he need to loot first and shot 2nd and dying 4 times in a row 🤣

[native turtle]

So is anyone gonna see the new HE-MAN movie on June 5th?

[vivid coyote]

Battle for broocklyn sucks

[edgy fable]

How so?

[marsh hinge]

If anybody needs anything out of the event gear caches, hit me up. GT same as Discord.

[wind falcon]

what exactly is ?

[ebon parrot]

aaah ok

[ebon parrot]

well i need capacitator

[green badge]

It was a shot of the ages. A once in a lifetime hit. through 2 vehicles, between boarding right in the head from a very large distance.
Then I saw the dreaded words.
"Retrieve access key"
FECK!! Taxi!!!!

[north bobcat]

bros just lying

[twilit cipher]

i see people 6000+ lvl and i know ill never get that high only 226 an i been playing ages lol

[vapid wagon]

me n my squad: "oh boy i want the bighorn! legendary wouldnt be too hard and we'll get it eventually!"

Floor 60, not even a single exotic

its 4:46am, im tired boss

[violet flume]

you can unlock the blueprint by doing retaliations

[vapid wagon]

legendary i assume?

[violet flume]

retaliations arent legendary

[vapid wagon]

just heroic?

whats the %?

[hollow wolf]

black tusk retaliations on heroic, 50% on completion

[vapid wagon]

🚬

FAHHH

[twilit cipher]

man anything above normal i get mashed up lol

[fervent sierra]

You'll be ok

I'd recommend striker it's a good set for getting into higher level content

4x + equalizer and overdogs and st Elmo or lex

[covert crystal]

Is there some known zone where the kitsunebu and ronin spawns work better? I feel like I am losing squads and robins so much

[fervent sierra]

I usually hit up Jefferson and go to the right of it or dz South to the right

If dz they'll come out through the pot hole usually

[covert crystal]

I've been running open world stuff in East Mall where you're talking about and feel like the spawns are horrible

But when I did the lanterns they weren't as bad so I assumed some zones were better than others

[fervent sierra]

I think it's all RNG

But they do have similar spawns as the loot goblin

And other units like krampus

[midnight epoch]

They harass me anytime I’m trying to do normal things and am not looking for them.

[covert crystal]

Half of my spawns just been broken. And I feel like I'm missing ronins bc of it. I just want to finish the skill vfx. Just gonna try different areas of the map

[fervent sierra]

If open world tho I heard they spawn in the direction ur looking at tho

Use scanner pulse as well

[fervent sierra]

We all gonna miss em after this week tho ngl they made open world a bit more entertaining

[covert crystal]

Literally just lost a ronin again. Bro this is so janky wtf

[wind falcon]

yea if u not stunning them on sight they disappier very fast again

[fervent sierra]

Sometimes they will just go off n fight another faction which is annoying as then I gotta look around for em

[midnight epoch]

I wish wandering random bosses were really challenging and dropped rewards like this

[magic rock]

I Enjoy playing div 2 again

[mystic notch]

Think my games broken lol. Im playing on heroic difficulty world, and its dropping purple gear

[forest talon]

My squads always show up in the middle of another firefight. And everyone gangs up on me so I’m either A) bumrushed by the ninja assassins and whoever else I was fighting or B) get completely surrounded and dog piled. I may need to bring it back down to Challenging cause I’m getting mopped on Heroic

[mystic notch]

Had a streak of 5 heroic checkpoints in a row where I had Kibushi and Rouge Agents at the same time lol

[forest talon]

I just fought my first pair the other day running the Zoo for a project. They showed up in that big open field so it wasn’t much of a fight. Anytime they spawn open world it’s right as I’m leaving a safe house and I never know where they are so never get to fight them. The only other time was on Heroic Roosevelt and the 4 of them just put us to shame.

But seriously considering going back to Challenging while solo and only do heroic with a group. At least till I get my expertise and watch up some more.

[lilac yew]

Anyone have houndsmen bounty for quickstep?

[carmine plover]

Servers down?

[mystic notch]

Nope

[carmine plover]

I just had rouge and kibushi boss come in and my server crashed 🫩

[thorny basin]

i'm trying to get a drop from rikers retaliation, but just did a bunch of bounties and cps and it didn't raise the meter at all

[edgy fable]

Do you have another Retaliations ready?

[thorny basin]

not in new york, not sure about washington, does that prevent the retaliation meter from rising?

[edgy fable]

There are a few bugs with Retaliation progress so we can't really exclude anything. It should not interfere I think

[thorny basin]

i just want this stupid nina bike backpack or whatever 😆

[hybrid ore]

You can only have 1 retal active at a time, make sure you finish/fail/cencel any ones that are "red".

[mystic notch]

Ive gotten like 11 of them the past week lol

[marble cairn]

• 200 ammo in storage
• I shoot one mag, 50 bullets
• No more ammo

What

[thorny basin]

from rikers realiations?

[kind veldt]

do you have directives enabled to lose ammo?

[mystic notch]

From exotic cache’s

[thorny basin]

ah maybe i'll spend my stars on that and the rest of my keys for a chance of it. i'm tired of running around new york

[mystic notch]

I cant finish any retaliations in time. I finish 1 Chexk point and it runs out of time

[marble cairn]

Hmmm good point

[thorny basin]

i've only done retals once, and it was in dc and i barely managed to finish it but i thin kthat was on challenging

[mystic notch]

Glad to see my old reliable (Chameleon) still shreds

[hybrid ore]

Over time you'll get better. You need a combo of a good build for it, and know-how to use it to kill quickly.
Try setting it to Challenging and practicing on that difficulty.
You can find a bunch of meta builds over in #ask-td2-community > 📌 > "spreadsheet 2" > builds. I recommend starting with "striker".

[mystic notch]

Hyena retal have any rewards worth grinding for?

[kind veldt]

overdogs, and couple others

[mystic notch]

Got 4 pairs of overdogs already

[agile night]

Biggest thing with retals are positioning and balancing dmg vs survival. Corner peeking is S tier for full red builds. Neg Dilem is also a good set to drop incoming waves in seconds if you dont have any of the stack builds.

[remote lynx]

Playing escalashun guess what did spawn?

[lunar hare]

rouge agent 💅

[remote lynx]

Rogue Agents :/

[mystic notch]

In the middle of a retal and i got error coded 😡

Was almost done with a black tusk kill squad

[lofty temple]

if i have a stat in the libary for tinkering does it always stay there

[kind veldt]

yes

[mystic notch]

Yes you can put any perk you have in the tinker table on any gun/armor it will work with

[gray flame]

What’s the current global event

[mystic notch]

Shd exposed

[gray flame]

Like the XP event

[mystic notch]

No xp event

[flat forge]

conflict exp no?

[mystic notch]

Ah ya i ignore conflict 🤣

[remote lynx]

that too its live

[mystic notch]

Im curious what will be next

[lofty temple]

omg i was keeping so many pieces

[torn wagon]

does explosive damage deal more damage to armored enemies? Like chungus and hound?

[edgy fable]

No, that would be DtH

[mystic notch]

😂 well now ya know

[torn wagon]

but you cant damage that health unless you shred that armor first right so that DtA?

[edgy fable]

Chungas and dogs have something called armor plates - which isn't armor (the white bars above certain NPC types)
Armor plates take more damage from Damage to Health

[fluid meadow]

It's funny when you say it like that

[flat forge]

dta only applies to the white segmented bars you see above an enemy's hp

if it doesnt have that its not dta

[lunar hare]

redundancy

[midnight epoch]

Dogs and Chungas have armor plates that are not armor, they are plates. And you need damage to plates in order to kill them and use damage to health

[hoary glade]

I feel like darkzone drops hsve been buffed or something

[flat forge]

keyword is feel

[hoary glade]

Got catharsis, 2 pestilence and a diamond back in 1 run

Dropped again later in the evening and got 2 pestilence and a bighorn I didn't even know it was possible for it to drop there

[olive nova]

would recommend ravenous for plates, or ugga dugga using sherriff when you got max stack of striker

[hoary glade]

Or maybe i just used up my whole luck for this month

[olive nova]

pray your escalation runs drop one or two protos

sticking a tank using foam and having the centurion scabbard +ammo buff on your sheriff when you have 100-200 stack of striker makes quick work of em.
unless you running lvl5 escalation

[flat forge]

protos drops so easily now

[olive nova]

its a hit or miss for me, either rains like hell or dry as a californian drought

[flat forge]

what tiers are you doing

[olive nova]

6

one time i got like 15 in a run, and another time just one or absolute zero

[flat forge]

t6 drop rate rn is slightly less than old t10 so i mean it seems bout right

the most i got from old t10 in 1 run was 7 drops

[hoary glade]

Ngl im scared of doing escalation thinking im still doing crappy damage

[carmine raft]

is bighorn only good in pvp?

[olive nova]

if you cant do much damage, at least you can do healing.
either dedicated healer or refactor healer

i usually do refactor healer, because you are still doing damage

[hoary glade]

Idk if 1.3 mil in bodyshot damage is enough

[olive nova]

thats decent

if you can do 1.3m consistently i think you can do good as a DPS

[hoary glade]

Healer's a must right?

[olive nova]

if you doin high level escalation, yes

i mean there's people who goes balls out and does it duo with no healer.

but better with one than none if you are still not confident

[iron jungle]

Sweet dreams and lullaby’s talent are a hit or miss in retaliation

[olive nova]

you go around bonking people when doing retal? ballsy

[alpine solstice]

I've just started Division, but can I still get the Houndman outfit?

[remote lynx]

Welcome to Div2 agent

[urban copper]

you can get bloody mask, gloves, backpack from killing bloody houndsman and as for the normal houndsman i believe you can buy the outfit in the store right now, but i may be wrong. you cannot get the caches from killing normal houndsman

[alpine solstice]

Thank you, where can I buy that?

[urban copper]

Store > Apparel > Outfits and you should see The Recruiter sets, not quite houndsman but similar to a hunter

[hoary glade]

Bloody houndsman outfit looks lit tho

[urban copper]

looks like the actual hooded houndsman fit with the wolf on it is event exclusive, i wasnt playing back then

[alpine solstice]

That was helpful, thank you. I will check it.

[elfin hazel]

the regular one can come to shop sometimes

[flat forge]

Can’t tell with a just 1 number, just have the right builds and you should be fine

[uncut aspen]

I would like to report the freezing game while "shooting the balloon" after stuck and unable to move. where I find report to the tech?

[elfin hazel]

check the pins of #unofficial-troubleshooting

[oak bolt]

Is the Sheriff still attainable in the loot pool? Or have I missed my chance since I didn't complete that season?

[silent mural]

not sure about the loot pool but you can get the blueprint from retaliation

[elfin hazel]

you can get the blueprint or play the manhunt mission

[hoary glade]

Waiting for faye lau bundle for her backpack god when will it ever come

[oak bolt]

Oh really? Ok thank you!

[alpine solstice]

Yeah, I think it's very attractive.✨

[silent mural]

isn't it already in the store? Or is there a variant?

[hoary glade]

What

Its back?

[silent mural]

Yup, eyepatch and all

[hoary glade]

Holy sht finally

[mighty ivy]

Just doing the tombs mission and two of the drones at the start just effed off to go kill enemies in the open world 😅

[urban copper]

looking to get birdies, how does the master mission work? im unable to fast travel for kelso and it's probably worth noting i havent done any manhunts

[forest talon]

Why does it look like I’m playing Roblox

[flat forge]

you do the master mission on any difficulty thats not story and that unlocks master mode

its the roosevelt kelso one i think and you can just hold g to change mission mode at the mission

[urban copper]

gotcha, i did realize i was looking at the wrong kelso one but even after going there it looked like it was forcing jupiter first

[flat forge]

does it let you keep changing the mission setting?

[urban copper]

only options i had on the hud was changing difficulty/directives and matchmaking

[pure saffron]

try going to the mission

[urban copper]

if theres 2 manhunts on roosevelt i guess it could make sense i have to do jupiter first

if i can run through them on any difficulty i can speedrun them on normal no issues to see

[pure saffron]

i find it can "stick" and not toggle if you're trying via the map

[urban copper]

yeah all i have when i fast travel from the manhunt menu is roosevelt island manhunt: jupiter with mission options to change difficulty and matchmake

oh lol once i interacted with it to change difficulty it swapped to kelso

[vague mesa]

centurion’s scabbard good or useless?

[gloomy kernel]

Man i love when the last member of the elite BT squad just runs away, making the entire fight a waste of time

But oh no, let's fix the keys first, players are having too much fun!

[delicate mesa]

can i do expertise on striker set gear? I dont see it in the tinkering station for expertise

[flat forge]

of course

[hardy rover]

Scroll all the way down

[feral knoll]

Pulse is useful for retal. Also running away is usually because something else is a higher threat level and pulling agro; ie the team is potentially screwing around or in 3 different places instead of sticking together.

[delicate mesa]

im an idiot lmao

[gloomy kernel]

I play solo, i'm the only target yet they just love running away

[feral knoll]

Skill build?

[gloomy kernel]

TP alejandro

[twilit cipher]

the game gets so complex

[gloomy kernel]

TS* i mean

[errant nova]

What kind of skill build u want?

[feral knoll]

It'll be snipers then, there seems to be a universal thing where they are all running away for some reason. Happens to Kitsunebi as well.

[gloomy kernel]

Yep, always snipers

[feral knoll]

Nah bro, was a question.

[errant nova]

Ahhh

[gloomy kernel]

I just hate those little cowards so much

[hardy rover]

Next update they’ll add black tusk heavy weapons

[feral knoll]

Pulse helps a lot. It'll tag anything hostile. Can also turn off fog of war if needed.

[hoary glade]

Time to grind 1.7k levels to reach expertise 30 100%

[primal temple]

Hey, question how can i get lexington?

[flat forge]

until tuesday they can drop from gear caches opened using sakura keys

[primal temple]

How do I get sakura keys? I just logged back in froma long break?

[signal fractal]

Can tinkerer be obtained from exotic cache now or only black tusk retaliation

[kind veldt]

similar to christmas, you will get ambushes that have a chance to get it, after some ambushes you get a special stronger enemy that drops a guaranteed key

[forest talon]

Kill Kitsu squads or the Ronin that may spawn after killing them

[kind veldt]

Manager potomac manhunt mission or blueprint from retal

if you do the manhunt on master difficulty you get one guaranteed

[wicked grotto]

You have these squads called kitsunebi squads that randomly spawn in open world dc and they have a chance to drop Sakura keys for those caches. Ronin as well but they'll still pop up in the warning as kitsunebi

[signal fractal]

Yeah my game crashed at the end when I completed it and when I logged in I didn’t have it but it said it was completed. Now I’ve completed it 5 times on master and haven’t gotten it

[gilded frost]

What’s fastest way to get Lexington

[delicate mesa]

i think the only way to get lexington is the event keys right?

[edgy fable]

Just keep farming keys and open chests

[lucid tundra]

Black tusk kill squads during retaliations can drop the blueprint, pretty high chance. Shouldnt take long

[vague plover]

is the lexington strong?

[kind veldt]

4% improved police M4

It comes god rolled

[mild meteor]

arguably BIS for a lot of builds

[vague plover]

BIS? what does mean?

[valid lava]

Best in Slot

[vague plover]

seems like my famas is stronger tho

[mild meteor]

compare in the shooting range

[vague plover]

yup that is what im doing rn

[flat forge]

what is 'seems'

[vague plover]

so the special weapon shield breaker does a little bit more damage but the lexington is strong, what kind of trait do you guys add on it?

[mild meteor]

depends on your build

[vague plover]

rn i have sniper build, so only heatshot

this is just a side weapon

[vague mesa]

can the tinkerer drop as actual loot during a BT retaliation or is it only a potential reward or blueprint upon finishing it completely

[lunar hare]

only as a Kill Squad reward as crafting blueprint

[vague mesa]

understandable

[unreal badge]

How do I get Sakura keys?

[lunar notch]

Killing the kitsanube that spawn

[unreal badge]

Where do they spawn? Or is it just random?

[lunar notch]

Apparently they are on like a timer. But its really anywhere in the open world Washington DC

[kind veldt]

around 10min they ambush you

after enough ambushes ronins appear which are harder and drop keys guaranteed

[vague mesa]

Black Tusk retaliations suck ass dude, goddamn

I’m not farming this garbage ass mode for a tinkerer’s mask, whoever said this is the easiest way to get one is full of shit

[kind veldt]

well it is

[lofty surge]

"easiest" does not mean "easy"

[small spear]

^

[kind veldt]

i mean you dont have to force yourself to do it in heroic also

[vague mesa]

yea nah I’d rather just do the Potomac climax

[vague mesa]

I wasn’t, I was playing on challenging

[exotic halo]

Is the game down rn? Why tf am I getting unicorn-1 errors

[vague mesa]

I can solo a Hyena and Outcast retaliation on challenging but Black Tusk is complete horseshit for some reason

[celest maple]

west potomac the worst when it comes to BT retaliation

[hardy rover]

Ur probably not target prioritizing right ngl

Grenadiers and Drone Ops always go first

[celest maple]

solo easier to take them out than squad

[vague mesa]

yea that’s who I usually go for first

but if I see someone else not in cover while they’re hiding I’ll pop them too

It also doesn’t help that my internet crashed during the second retaliation so the two people I was doing it with were facing the enemy scaling of 3 players without me for like half the attempt

[sour void]

Speaking of BS, I didn't think Escalation could spike my cortisol levels even higher.

But apparently enemies literally turn on their speed h@x when you destroy their armor

Who gave them all Quickstep?

[polar thorn]

they have sport mode while carrying lmg

[jade spoke]

an evil foid def could

[sour void]

All the more reason we should get the Hunter's axe so that we can give them a surprise lobotomy

[sour void]

Hmm. I'll give that a try tomorrow

[jade spoke]

do tell on how that goes when it happens

[sour void]

If you don't hear back from me after a week, assume the worst

[polar thorn]

I don't wanna parry a damn rocket launcher

[sour void]

Would you rather cut some NPC in half with a chainsaw instead?

[jade spoke]

i mean i parry bio weapons all the time in racoon city

[slim radish]

Is there any pink shirts or pants cosmetics?

[jade spoke]

free or paid?

[slim radish]

Either or

[jade spoke]

free no paid yes

theres a pink cherry blossom jacket/hood with a chest plate

it looks pretty cool

i think its like 500 credits or sumthin

[slim radish]

Ty

[vague mesa]

You can get the reconfigure blueprint for the tinkerer mask from Inaya like you can with seemingly any other exotic right?

[polar thorn]

Second thought, I was about to suggest shooting them but realized that I shot about 200 times at the same person

[vague mesa]

I don’t wanna farm Potomac only to get a shit roll and then not be able to reconfigure it

[toxic musk]

No god damn way

[polar thorn]

Leon, you either went to space or someone just dropped you Anti Matter materials to craft your axe

[toxic musk]

Anyway. Hallo

[polar thorn]

Hey, Carol

[toxic musk]

Howdy

I am in a pit of deep despair

[sour void]

Hence why I suggested you'd get up close and personal

[jade spoke]

both had to go to the moon to save Ashley from alien's but that mission was so classified we didn't make a game about it

[sour void]

Mind if I join you there?

[polar thorn]

Fine..I will gather the materials.

[polar thorn]

Space update for DV2 sounds fun

[sour void]

Shouldn't take much. 999 Exotic Components will make a good start.

[jade spoke]

that and zombies could honestly be super well done as an event

they could deff make up a reason for a small zombie appearance with the lore of the virus

the atmosphere of the dark zone is honestly perfect for it

[toxic musk]

I am going to start biting my armour pieces until they give me Echo

[coarse latch]

New player lvl 20 atm anyone down to run around and do missions and whatever else getting tired of playing solo 😂

[vapid wagon]

goodness me the bighorn is a beast

i should've done retaliations long ago

[neon elbow]

Is anyone doing Paradise? Pc

[edgy fable]

#lfg-pc

[neon elbow]

Is there match making for paradise?

[lunar hare]

yes

[neon elbow]

Bet Ty

[hoary glade]

Does expertise have an effect in darkzone

[zenith urchin]

it goes insane with a hsd build

[tropic sentinel]

Yes.

[dusty dawn]

[vapid wagon]

yeah im hitting the 22mils

[dusty dawn]

sure

[toxic musk]

Am I missing something? Why do people keep trying to hide in the hallway in front of the boss arena in Bank HQ

[sterile copper]

too afraid to use tall cover i suppose

[toxic musk]

Maybe, although it's a great strat to have the beefy guys turn it into a boxing gym

[fallen marten]

I’ve died on this heroic stronghold mission 4 times already.

By invisible goons, every time.

I just want better hunters fury knee pads!!

[polar thorn]

I am not spamming Countdowns, no more!

[hoary glade]

Spamming countdowns like its a 8-5

[safe meadow]

please help me turn off manny voice retaliation its stuck on loop

[lunar hare]

just turn off dialogue volume

[safe meadow]

wasnt sure if there was a specific volume for menu dialogue as opposed to regular in game stuff, didn't want to have to turn off all dialogue for one buggy voice line lol

[jagged shell]

@willow geode I looked at compress like you suggested, 1. Compress 2.Saturate (Utility) 3. Invert is insane, gives me 67.5% weapon handling. Thank you for the shout

[onyx rivet]

When they adding striker man on the escalation

[sterile copper]

RNG targetted loot, just gotta keep praying

[onyx rivet]

Do the new project on 4 charachters you have 50+ exoctics in 1 hour hahaha

[onyx rivet]

I know bro pfff

[quick coyote]

.....I can feel it, today is the day....some dev will by accident press the striker button

[thorny basin]

wait, if i use my level 40 booster on a second character i can redo those projects?

[jagged shell]

Sounds unintended

[atomic field]

Escalation daily reset already? Anything worth login to farm?

[silver eagle]

25 min left

[rich heart]

Gentlemen, we meet again.

[silver eagle]

daily dose of dissappointment

[undone echo]

what happens when you use the level 40 boost. as in what do you get for that character or whatever happens

[tropic sentinel]

You become level 40.

[gloomy timber]

I don't think anyone is gonna fight you on that 😂

Can fox prayer knees drop in space admin?

[hybrid ore]

@silent light The spreadsheet is over in #td2-build-advice > 📌 > "spreadsheet 2"

[hybrid ore]

@prisma notch I mean, yes? But it's not a ceska piece so it might take a while.

[hybrid ore]

Rivens is fine.

I know, I'm amazing.

[silent light]

Delusional

[prisma notch]

Thought ceska was fox knees?

[gray flame]

Me waiting for striker or tipping scales to be in rotation

[lofty surge]

if strikers battlegear is so good how come theres no strikers battlegear 2?

[hybrid ore]

Fox's Prayer are "Overlord" brand.

the useful part is the dtooc, unless you're one of the 3 weirdos who use it for a rifle build.
wait, 4. I'm now one of those weirdos.

[edgy fable]

Devil's Due, DZ item with trash talent

Yeah no, imma pass that

[hybrid ore]

Nah, you're 3.

[rich heart]

My classic M1A build carried me through so much content back in the day. Before Striker was cool.

[polar thorn]

Of course it's Umbra again, why I didn't expect that

[lofty surge]

i hope the person in charge of making sure strikers never gets in the escalation missions drops the next pizza they buy all over the concrete

[silent light]

[hybrid ore]

That honestly sounds like a fun job.

[polar thorn]

whats the loot allocation for Southwest rn?

[icy frost]

Daily rotation for ESCAL?

[agile gyro]

pins

[hybrid ore]

@polar thorn Core Strength.

[coral hedge]

Its crazy they all know we wait on striker and other good gear why do they do us like this

[silent light]

Why Southwest? Is there a secret bug farm somewhere im unaware of

[edgy fable]

The loot allocation is randomized automatically

[polar thorn]

inma crashout, THATS 2ND TIME IN THE SAME MONTH

[silver eagle]

lets hope this is true 🙂

[edgy fable]

Houndsman bounty

[silent light]

ah

[polar thorn]

No, was hoping for gearset that I haven't max proficiency

[coral hedge]

Okey lets say its randomized its friday 100% they have a dev that can change 1 mission to striker

6 days left to Subnautica 2

[edgy fable]

Time to play Bank later. Maybe I get more proto SysCor pieces for no reason

[green nebula]

Is it worth doing Retaliations? I'm curious about the general consensus on this since I accidentally stumbled upon it and learned how lucrative it can be.

[edgy fable]

If you know already it's lucrative, why asking?

Good source for several things

[coral hedge]

Easy way to get Bp so just farm

[edgy fable]

Also it's fun to play

[green nebula]

Just curious on the general opinion cause I was more than likely going to farm it in between doing Hyena CPs for the Overdogs.

[edgy fable]

Just turn on mm and Godspeed 👌

[hybrid ore]

It's the best solo farm for loot by far, about ties in a group with Countdown if you're fast and lucky, and gets you a ton of exotic crafting blueprints.
oh also, you get 1 descent comm for each completed, letting you skip descent. And you can buy reconstructed caches, letting you get named item blueprints for dz locked stuff.

[edgy fable]

Just played it for a couple hours because mm for Escalations seems to either not work right or nobody is playing it

[green nebula]

Ooo had no idea about the Desent comms also DZ BPs?? Here I thought I had to farm DZ Credits which is an absolute headache..

[coral hedge]

Any of the loot today that gives good dps?

[silent mural]

Which build should I go for first, Tipping scales or heart breaker?

[brazen elm]

tipping scales

[edgy fable]

Save yourself time and forget about HB

[silent mural]

damn...

[woven crane]

oh another umbra

refactor for tank? and what i should find in cezka?

[edgy fable]

A piece of everything

Refactor is a skill build btw

[woven crane]

oh ya

[jagged shell]

Refactor is actually a solid build I'd recommend

[polar thorn]

Gracias.

[woven crane]

i think i got that from level 35 thing

[jagged shell]

Oh refactor in escalation is really bad, it drops with a blue core

[polar thorn]

healing build is just better.

[woven crane]

refactor healing?

[jagged shell]

Is a healing build in a way, it won't outheal FI for sure but most players are not running enough armor in escalation to not have FI give diminishing returns vs refactor

[polar thorn]

Future Invitiate is most demanding build rn

3 dps + 1 healer or 2 dps + 2 healer but usually you just one healer

[balmy ledge]

anyone getting a bug when using a weapon it doesn't fire or it just keeps reloading

[woven crane]

im trying to get the setup for my FI healing but got 1 blue

[coral hedge]

Any loot today with red core?

[polar thorn]

Yeah, it's gonna take a while.

[jagged shell]

Priority is getting an all yellow The Setup

[polar thorn]

^

[woven crane]

so i just use that for now and farming mod lol

[woven crane]

yes, but i only manage 2 yellow and 1 blue The Setup

i would say good enough for most content i think

now im an intern healer haha

[jagged shell]

That's fine, but min maxxing your build will always be worth

[tender wave]

@gloomy timber please use #lfg-playstation when looking for players to group with in game

Also note you can get it from the event gear caches

[onyx rivet]

No worries then fam countdown 9-5

[frigid merlin]

Cmon now 3 day straight of trash TL

[toxic musk]

I wonder why half of the Proto perks exist, anyway. I now need 80 Exotic components for a completely unrelated reason

[dapper sand]

Hi, just a simple proto/augment question.

Do proto gear, example chest with echo augment (every bullet fired has X% to do double damage) applies to non-proto weapon?

[toxic musk]

Yeah. But if it's on a weapon then it'll only apply to that weapon, I believe

[pure saffron]

clearly said it was on a chest

[dapper sand]

Okay. Thank you beautiful people of Division 2

[toxic musk]

I am aware. Just in case they had a further question

[zenith urchin]

i should max out my dtoc nemesis

[mystic notch]

I love some of the names for these bounty bosses 🤣 “broke ass byron”

[sinful sandal]

Is this game’s pvp good?

[dire ravine]

Not rn

[sinful sandal]

You think i should get into this i seen it gets actively updated and i only played when it came out

[onyx rivet]

Ceska today pretty good

[dire ravine]

I'm waiting for the changes n fixes to pvp thats supposed to be coming. Rn it's nothing but lag switchers on ps. But give it a try see how it goes

[zenith urchin]

my favorite will always be swamp-ass for a tank like yeah i bet he is

[mystic notch]

Lol

[fluid meadow]

New players are coming to conflict cause of the xp event so it's a nice change of pace

[jagged shell]

Don't get me wrong, there are lag switchers running rifle builds with all blue cores instakilling you, but thats like once every 5-8 games, I'm enjoying all the games where that is not the case.

[mystic notch]

I only went into the dark zone one time. To get Pestilance. Never touched dz again

[coral hedge]

What does ceska do like What the best with it ?

[tame kestrel]

good for crit dmg builds

[woven crane]

if you get lex proto, does it also max out all 3?

[gloomy timber]

Can anyone help me getting the quickstep pistol

[loud ember]

its dropping from event caches

just farm kitsunebi squads

[polar thorn]

RNG to have 3 max rolled tho

[woven crane]

oh kk

[pearl glade]

Hey , from the events vendor , the named cache is pvp specific cache right ?
Would it be better to buy legacy or named caches ?

[zenith urchin]

named caches can have every named item in the game
do you want named items or old season items

[lucid tundra]

Named can have any named gear to my knowledge. Idk about legacy

[errant coral]

Anyone got the houndsman bounty for the quickstep they dont mind farming with me? Xbox

[edgy fable]

What are you looking for?

[lunar notch]

You havent gotten any from the sakura event at all?

[torpid ocean]

are the old drop rates back lol, i've had 7 kitsunebi squads and the only key i got is from a guaranteed ronin

[lunar notch]

It seems so hit or miss. I killed one squad and got a key from all but one. Then I went 3 squads dry on keys 😂

[loud ember]

Is there another event starting tuesday?

[fallow idol]

I got a proto festive delivery yesterday from a cache lol

[errant coral]

@lunar notch My bad. How do you get them?

[loud ember]

Got a quickstep proto from cache

[fallow idol]

Nice. I opened well over 100 gear caches, and the festive delivery was the only proto.

[loud ember]

Got 2 first bloom, a festive delivery and a quickstep in about 300 keys

[delicate plume]

I have a technical question maybe someone knows the answer to - I am running a build where I gain extra armor. Question - when my normal armor runs out but i have a ton of blue extra armor stored up, does the game take from the extra armor BEFORE my life/hp or after the extra armor is all gone

[lunar notch]

Turning in sakura keys for gear caches at the event vendor. Has a chance for all the named items.

[errant coral]

No, because I dont have a good enough build to where I can wipe out the hit squad with ease. @lunar notch

[lunar notch]

Matchmake open world. Tons of people just running around hunting sakura keys.

[errant coral]

@lunar notch thanks. Im finna gts cause I got work but I will definitely do it tomorrow

[twin garden]

Hello. Im new in game... if somebody want to play just let me now.. im lvl 8 for now. 😄 have a nice day

[hoary glade]

Theoretically if someone hosts bloody houndsman bounty and i join them then they leave i then complete the bounty would they still have it

[torpid ocean]

play normal

you can probably just punch them with the event

[granite nimbus]

Once you have most all the items and gear you want, what do you all run for targeted loot?

[silver eagle]

Gear mods

[tropic sentinel]

Or just stop running.

[agile gyro]

Or just stop using your legs.

[polar thorn]

Yes

[toxic musk]

Float

[hybrid ore]

That's when you break out into unicorns. That'll take you a while.

[late crescent]

another day waiting for proto opti-

[hybrid ore]

There's a Title Update on the 12th of this Month, so fingers crossed 🤞

[late crescent]

ye i hope i have 169 protocores saved

[polar thorn]

I should really play Escalation back

[late crescent]

and getting more-

[hybrid ore]

I feel that TU went really under the radar.

[toxic musk]

How in god damn do people have so many cores

[polar thorn]

been grinding exotic non-stop

[late crescent]

escal T5 is sweet spot

[toxic musk]

Hmmm. Maybe I should push myself more

[polar thorn]

you're not playing in T5?

[toxic musk]

I've been cowardly dealing with Tier 3 and 4

[polar thorn]

Deconstruct yourself!

[toxic musk]

DON'T GOTTA TELL ME TWICE

[late crescent]

even you can do T5 whiout proto gear

that's what i'm doing

[toxic musk]

I yearn for full Echo gear

(I am only at 5 out of 7)

I kinda hope they cap the cost of re-rolling Proto perks, though

[polar thorn]

I haven't get anything, so gotta lock in for Expertise.

[zenith urchin]

not exactly a unicorn but im hunting a chc picaro and its painful

[hybrid ore]

Happy PvP'ing

[toxic musk]

I wonder if you could get the BP for it from Reconstructed Caches

[hybrid ore]

Actually, yes!

There's a 📌 pin of everything in there over in #td2-descent

[toxic musk]

Huh. It would be so funny if I already have the BP

[jagged shell]

I'm still having supreme trouble finding a hollow mask BP

[hybrid ore]

Yeah the RNG for Resconstructed Caches is brutal, there's like, 129-ish things in there right now if you start from 0.

[toxic musk]

Fortunately I had a decent one in my back pocket (my stash, where I hoarded many things)

[pulsar comet]

question for you all. im trying to do hyenas retaliation. on the retaliation screen it shows hyenas as level one but i cant pick it. it makes me do the other ones first. is this wrong or am i doing somehting wrong??

[toxic musk]

Huzzah. Hit 10% double bullet chance

[toxic musk]

I've noticed this. The fix I've found is just kill a Hynea or two and it should prioritise it

[pulsar comet]

ill try that, thanks!

[gloomy timber]

🙂can anyone help me getting the quickstep pistol

[lunar notch]

Managed to get 3 amalgam and 3 echos across my striker build. Makes me happy

[toxic musk]

Just need Mr Fantastic and John Fire

[hoary glade]

Are there also open world hunters in brooklyn and new york?

[kind veldt]

y

[toxic musk]

Attempted to do The Tombs. Regret attempting to do The Tombs

[random laurel]

You already have them. The firestarter shotty and uhhhh nevermind

[toxic musk]

Rogue Agents in regular gameplay is like fighting teddy bears, Rogue Agents in Escalation is biblically accurate John/Jane Agent

[random laurel]

They just have 6 1000% protection from protagonist ™️ mods on that's why they're tanky
