td2-general-chat

[charred lily]

damn i didnt even realize it was season xp

there go my plans for tuesday

[twilit cipher]

game crashed on me playing ascent floor 70.allmost lvl 300

[polar thorn]

I think like 80% of players who played in the early season already maxed out their battle pass

💀

[feral knoll]

good for returning players, but otherwise, yeah. Hopefully a stretch goal for expertise will happen again.

[polar thorn]

is stretch goal any good? Never experience it

[hybrid ore]

Stretch Goals are just post-Season Pass Lvl 100 rewards.
Pretty good, includes a lot of the stuff the Cherry Blossom Event did.

[polar thorn]

pog

[hybrid ore]

as you can tell by the name, they're around after a Season is over, but before the new one starts.

Will also have some kind of cosmetic included in the rewards, most likely a season-appropriate outfit.

[undone timber]

More BT drip incoming?

[polar thorn]

huh, should I check that one out

[hybrid ore]

It's sort of our Seasonal christmas.

without that one weird uncle

[polar thorn]

is like same as manhunt or like full outfit itself?

[hybrid ore]

It's an outfit in parts, not a single block.

Imagine if the Charry Blossom cosmetic Cache was mixed with the gear cache, but not multiple outfits, just 1.

[wise peak]

It’s kinda not that difficult to even do. I mean priority objectives especially if you’re doing missions and strongholds rewards a lot of season xp.

[polar thorn]

Ah, that's more understandable.

Welp, the fact I'm using Anderson's shirt rn

[polar thorn]

Maxed out mine before 3x event drops 💀

[wise peak]

I’ve maxed out mine during the first two days when the season pass came out☠️😅

[polar thorn]

crackhead

Regardless, it's should be easy grind for season xp pass but oh well, maybe some of us are left behind to grind season xp

Imma just continue grinding exo comps in the meantime

[fathom raft]

Can you still get quick step

[bronze ice]

Thats a bit shite of them to do that to us

[tough citrus]

@cobalt swallow

[grave skiff]

anyone can lmk what the best way to lvl expertise is

[wispy dock]

67

[unreal otter]

Did they change something to where assignments are no longer on the main map?

[small spear]

they have their own tab now

[edgy fable]

I hate when ppl ask the same question in multiple channels lol

[mighty creek]

Alright.

[nocturne totem]

do tinkerer work with prototype weapons?

[lunar hare]

not yet

[grizzled minnow]

If you zoom all the way out (to the top down angle) it'll still show them on the map still but yeah it's in it's own tab otherwise

[feral knoll]

Can also toggle the loot table on the main map and the assignments will appear

[candid radish]

So this may be a silly amateur question, but what is the number beside your SHD lvl? Mine says 13|104

[grizzled minnow]

The event season pass/battle pass level

[candid radish]

Ooooohhhhh! 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣🤣
Thank you!

[grizzled minnow]

no worries, it confuses everyone

[ornate crystal]

yes they do just not named or exotics, just test it out on mine and does work

[mighty creek]

Now that I think about it The Ravenous is the perfect weapon for @celest maple because it literally

Move it up, down, left, right, oh
Switch it up like Nintendo
Say you can't sleep, baby, I know
That's that me espresso.

[celest maple]

, i don’t have it yet 💔💔

[mighty creek]

Black Tusk retaliation it is.

[celest maple]

i got eagle bearer and bighorn, i’m happy without it🙂‍↔️

[mighty creek]

But, you're Sabrina Carpenter.

[celest maple]

that i am, might grind for it🤔

[mighty creek]

Awesome.

[woven narwhal]

Fake

[celest maple]

real

[woven narwhal]

Source?

[celest maple]

me

[woven narwhal]

Not legitimate

[light ruin]

What time is escalation reset

[spring trench]

whatever time an hour and a half is for you

for me its about 1:30am now it resets at 3am for me

[elfin hazel]

<t:1779004800:t> every day for the loot

and then every tuesday for missions

[inland widget]

Is weekly reset tonight?

[lunar hare]

no

[inland widget]

Weird. I swear I didn't run Incursion this week but I did it today and didn't get key etc haha

[dusty walrus]

Everyone should appeal to devs ...to remove escalation tokens to start escalation missions ... Hours together only to find a match ... Instead of playing game only match making going on... Purely dis...

[inland widget]

Yeahhhh... I lost 100 tokens in the last 24h lol

[opaque lion]

Weekly reset is 2 days from now

[inland widget]

crashes, poorly-vetted team mates, rogues and just my own pure incompetence here and there

[dusty walrus]

Those tubers are having cool team and showing different strategies in escalation and getting great rolled prototype guns and armours... But as a player having no such teams and players to play with can only see their videos instead of playing... This is intended or what .. I don't know ... 😭

[potent jasper]

We gave it our best shot 💀

I’m 1-1 ahhhhh

[iron forge]

Is tinkerers still bugged for prototypes? As I am hitting basically same dps with an lmg in both slots and when I swap second slot to another weapon.

[polar thorn]

DPS or healer, there's a chance where someone just throws the match away. 💀 Then they're gonna play victim

[iron forge]

And I thought they fixed it.

[polar thorn]

just making sure, it's not named prototype right

[iron forge]

No they are not

[polar thorn]

might wanna try ur luck in #unofficial-troubleshooting

[lyric pumice]

My tinkerer work with my proto lmg

[zenith urchin]

it would be cool if div 3 put the spotlight on melee combat instead of just adding melee weapons
it will be over a year after the actual apocalypse bullets need to become scarce at some point

[polar thorn]

Knight gameplay ahh

medieval agent when

[zenith urchin]

something as simple as needing to get a few melee kills before you can shoot a la the pistol start directive would be fitting both lore wise and gameplay wise assuming they add different melee weapons or customization

[tropic sentinel]

If they can maintain something like SHD tech active, they can easily maintain ammo production.

[elfin hazel]

even the rikers were able to start making bullets they're not that scarce

[zenith urchin]

if im not mistaken about how the shd caches work, we are chewing through a finite supply that is just very abundant

[zenith urchin]

making the bullets isnt as big of an issue as getting the gunpowder

[elfin hazel]

I still don't think it's that much of an issue

[polar thorn]

ack, delta 3

[elfin hazel]

go to any military base near DC/NY or really anywhere in the new england area and you've probably got enough ammo to last several lifetimes for any faction

[tropic sentinel]

If there is anything murica is stocked with for decades, it's ammo and materials for it's production.

[zenith urchin]

ok fair point lmfao

[elfin hazel]

#lfg-pc

[ornate crystal]

bc they dont show all the other stuff they got they show the good ones they did get they dont always show what its really like thats why there's clips here and there, they show that so u know there are good stuff to farm but u have to do just that. keep grinding and practicing and it will come

[fallen marten]

I am now [SHD LEVEL 1002.] :DDDD

[zenith urchin]

im very close to 1000

[polar thorn]

Congrats

I got prototype mk46..but not frenzy sobs

[fallen marten]

That’s unfortunate ;w;

[fallen marten]

Thanks buddy, I’m very proud of my progress so far

[polar thorn]

No worries, I did grind like 20 escalation which is fine

[vague mesa]

the inability to recalibrate prototypes is exactly why I don’t care about the system

[ornate crystal]

i mean you can before you turn one into a prototype so there's that

[elder moon]

grinding prototype makes me feel hopeless

[vague mesa]

yea but I’m also not interested in doing that

[elder moon]

what is the drop chance

[vague mesa]

the system as a whole is just pointless to me

[odd summit]

depressing ah game mode

[vague mesa]

you can do everything with non-prototype gear, and if you go into the DZ it normalizes as if though it’s not prototype anyway

[elder moon]

yes its just a loop to me

[vague mesa]

so it genuinely serves no purpose

besides skipping the expertise system

[elder moon]

you are a dz player?

[vague mesa]

which is a bit of an ass move to the players who did go through the expertise system

[polar thorn]

7 minutes more, yeah imma just wait for reset TL

[vague mesa]

working on builds for it

[elder moon]

nice. i dont actually play pvp that much but dz is kinda fun to me

[vague mesa]

I actually have one mostly finished, I just need to finish leveling firewall; the gear is otherwise all in place

hopefully I don’t need more blue cores with it considering I’m running core strength and it gives me 2 million armor with all red

[pliant sentinel]

anyone got a server restart message or is my schizo meds falling off

[dusty walrus]

Any guesses today escalation drops

[vague mesa]

shiny monkey

[polar thorn]

Umbra, Aegis and 5.11

[dusty walrus]

I hope for strikers and UA

[vague mesa]

probably won’t be striker since that was a few days ago I think

[pliant sentinel]

pistol for all 5

[elder moon]

me too. i hope for strikers

[elfin hazel]

.

[polar thorn]

imma sue you if it's actually pistol

[inland widget]

I hope for.... strikers, UA, tipping scales, petrov....

I need proto TS + contractors gloves... and I need proto equalizer

only need strikers backpack tbf

[elfin hazel]

gear mods heartbreaker belstone hunters fury ars

caches are gloves & rifles

[ornate crystal]

i honestly dont care all that much who did or who didn't, but they will still have to lvl up their expertise anyway for their exotics etc if they want that max out otherwise it really doesnt matter to me all that much what other players are doing we all just trying to enjoy the game but nobody ever will if they are going to be unhappy about every lil thing that hards to grind

[vague mesa]

damn I was about to jokingly say gear mods

[pliant sentinel]

heartbreaker lets goooo

[signal marten]

AR at bunker. Not a drill I repeat not a drill 🙏

[polar thorn]

gah

[vocal hamlet]

Heartbreaker at white oak
Hunters fury at jtc
Fed bunker Ar
Grand washington Hotel belstone

[inland widget]

laaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAme

[dusty walrus]

Reset done... Assault

[polar thorn]

I mean, sure rifle.

[inland widget]

wait seriously gear mods?

[elfin hazel]

they can't be prototype it's just normal targeted loot allocation

[woven crane]

AR, Gear Mods, HB,HF

[inland widget]

Better chance to be maxed surely?

[elfin hazel]

same as heroic as far as I'm aware

[woven crane]

and Belstone

[inland widget]

ha RIP

[vocal hamlet]

Yeah lol

[inland widget]

lame af guess i'm just farming cores and tokens again lol good time to try out being a healer

[lyric pumice]

Again AR like few days ago, and lmg one time in 2 weeks omg

[elfin hazel]

happens

[jagged maple]

Ar was yesterday

[zenith urchin]

ughhh i forgot to switch assault for seasonal modifiers for escal but doing that mid run reset it
3 tokens gone

[edgy fable]

Nice, HF

[zenith urchin]

i cleared the mission at t0 and got no tokens, yay

[swift storm]

is healer absolute necessary in t5?

[gaunt venture]

Starting with maybe T6 but above fs

[inland widget]

not at all, but i've found it pretty useful...

T6+ 100% necessary I reckon

Especially because healer also usually runs some sort of support to increase team damage output and helps get enemies out of cover

[swift storm]

asking cuz group got disbanded as group leader absolutely demanded a healer

[inland widget]

TBH the best T5 farm I ever ran had a healer with infinite seeker mines.

Seeker mines were insane for keeping enemies distracted AND for getting them out of cover when they're hiding. Healing side of the build definitely wasn't top-tier but more than enough for T5 to keep everyone up and running

[ornate crystal]

you dont want to be in a group like that anyway bc they wouldve picky about how yall play etc

[inland widget]

T6+ probably better for pure healer...

[swift storm]

true 😄

[inland widget]

Yeah sometimes people are a bit too serious.... Nothing worse than having some chud yell through their mic at you like you're playing some high-stakes international sports match

[zenith urchin]

sudden urge to chase the habsburg hsd handling headhunter unicorn once more

[ornate crystal]

most groups that run healer are group members from same clan or som but in a random matchmake the leader was wishy wishful thinking som stranger just gon pull a healer out on demand like nobody does that unless its all very high shd players cuz maybe they might but they would ask still not demand that's just nuts lol

[random laurel]

Hunters fury today? Mannnnnn gotta get that today

Imagine chatterbox with paradox HF. Insert "damnnnnn" meme gif

[charred lily]

https://klipy.com/gifs/daaaaamn-1--k01KRTHGB5R44FADW74NGYZY49Z

[thick yarrow]

They goofed with one targeted loot

[random laurel]

Lol yeah gear mods. Im surprised they didn't add proto mods to this slop of a system

[thick yarrow]

Mods won't drop as prototype

And this is the 2nd time where a targeted loot won't drop as prototype

[ornate crystal]

yea everybody gon have a field day w that one lol

[zenith urchin]

"proto" mod drops should just be guaranteed max stats

[random laurel]

For real

[ornate crystal]

would be cool if they did that

[swift storm]

proto gear mods, let's do it

[pliant sentinel]

prototype minigun

[zenith urchin]

the immunity augment might make minigun actually viable

[polar thorn]

😭

Would be the happiest agent if that's actually applied.

[random laurel]

Proto vanguard from resurgence now that would be OP

[pliant sentinel]

sometimes my stash 400 slots but sometimes its 450

caveman dont understand the laws of physics with box

[random laurel]

Massive pls add the above to escalation

[polar thorn]

Massive, delete everything.

[dusty walrus]

13% PFE.. in prototype it's 20%

[alpine gale]

has anybody ever seen are herd of a prototype item dropping in retailion of the 100s ive completed on herio-c zero and asking certain creators they said no even thou it says small chance of dropping in retailion

[zenith urchin]

the game has actual decimals so it would be 19.5%

[lethal moon]

Outside of escal missions it is 0%. Unless it was the event caches.

[rancid bolt]

What does Bravo-04 means?

[brazen elm]

Prototypes don't drop outside of escalation

[celest maple]

indicates a sudden loss of connection to the game's servers

[thick yarrow]

Also i don't think it really matters that mods are target loot since no-one will do pathway park

[inland widget]

Anyone in here play high tier escalation regularly?

[thick yarrow]

Max tier i've done is tier 5 due to how efficient it is

[faint plaza]

Is there an update on the incursion build scheme? Birdie's? Tipping scales? Refractor?

I haven't run it in ages and all my builds were old so I figure there would be new versions.

[tropic sentinel]

Still 3/4 strikers + 0/1 healer+btsu. Refractor gives no damage buffs for team, so it's trash there.

[inland widget]

Still DPS; strikers. St Elmos for first two encounters. Backfire for second two

Backfire slapppppsssss

I joined a random LFG last week 'anyone welcome'; first time I'd done it since I got Orobouros. These dudes were EXPERTS I swear. Whole thing completed in about 14 minutes and I did almost nothing lmao

[faint plaza]

I need to get up on that and learn.

[inland widget]

Ran one today and only one dude knew what was going on and we still cleared it in 36 mins

People have really got the strategy down these days haha

Wasn't that long ago I thought it was an impossible task

[chilly jungle]

we use refactor in t6+ and pure healer in t9-t10

[opaque lion]

today's pretty decent though, HB and HF is on the menu

[inland widget]

I'm gonna try farming T5 as a seeker mine healer

[opaque kindle]

Bro I just I want a main set in escalation how I set it that way

[inland widget]

Hopefully people don't see my build and then just leave 😂

[iron adder]

If you're paying tokens, everyone will gladly join

[feral knoll]

Escalations have a set loot pool which rotates daily.

[acoustic bay]

just build fi build,,youcan use it for either t0 pr t10 lol

[grim sinew]

Anybody else experiencing hard crashes on PS5 after playing some time, then logging off / returning to the character selection screen, as described here? https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/game/the-division/the-division-2/bug-reporter/issues/TCTD2-3429 I can't switch chars without crashing and restarting the game at the moment...

[unique bramble]

Seeker healer is more useless than a bombardier drone

[inland widget]

Fiiiiiiine

[faint plaza]

What's fi?

Future initiative

Got it, I thought about it after I typed it

[inland widget]

is it thooooo. Someone ran it with me on a T6 yesterday and it was soooo smooth. Hive did (justt) enough, Seeker mines were absolutely excellent for keeping enemies distracted and keeping them out of cover

Probably will farm some future initiative pieces in countdown when I get home and make an overpowered healer build though. That way I can leach off people in T10 without being good lolol

[unique bramble]

I don't know if you noticed it but I was talking about specifically the Mender seeker mine that heals, not the other variants.

[inland widget]

Ohhh sorry

I've literally never used crossbow before. is it really that powerful against armour?

[opaque lion]

mostly just for softening them up

[dapper belfry]

Hey does anyone got st Elmo build that not striker been using that lately if so pls chat me in build advice

[opaque lion]

you might as well use that gadget that does the same thing

[iron adder]

240 mil a shot against a T10 chunga armor plate (which is not armor) (unless they have DR)

[inland widget]

:OOOOOOOOOO

[dapper belfry]

Wait there crossbow in the game now since when

[inland widget]

not on a 6 skill tier healer build, though I'm guessing haha

[iron adder]

It is on a healer build

[inland widget]

tf

outrageous

[opaque kindle]

Crazy

[mighty creek]

Since forever. It's for Survivalist specialization

[dapper belfry]

Oh

[unique bramble]

Idk, since 2019

[cursive sphinx]

What escalation we runnin today 🥀

[unique bramble]

The gear mod ones

[hoary glade]

Dark zone asia got active holy

[hoary glade]

Honestly worth getting heartbreakers

[grim charm]

How hard are incursions? Can I go in with a generic striker build and do fine if I just watch a video guide, or do you need an actual teacher?

[hoary glade]

You need to follow certain tactics just running strikers wont work

You'll need a group or squad to make it work

[vital aspen]

You need a team with players that know their stuff

[hoary glade]

Specialization weapons upgrade when

[unique bramble]

Never

[hoary glade]

Shame

[unique bramble]

You can still have the 30% from expertise but that's about it.

[torn wagon]

did they nerf augment leveling speed? I swear it was faster

[odd summit]

it was canceled long ago. If I remember correctly they confirmed it was canceled during the Project Resolve stream. sadge

[kind veldt]

Bigger levels need more xp

[kind veldt]

Delayed indefinetly because it wss never good enough

[lethal moon]

With how long it's been delayed and now with D3 in development, I'd say it's cancelled in all but name.

[kind veldt]

Wont deny they have been dancing around using that word

[lethal moon]

The copium and hopium exist that's why

[brazen elm]

the year is 2050 div 8 is out and they just dropped div 2 specializations rework

[obsidian atlas]

the year is 2027 where they just announced end of life and post live service offline support and source code release on git hub

[unique bramble]

Well, I just noticed that overkill kinda copied massive with the overkill weapons in payday 3, like a theoretically powerful weapon that can't be used all the time.

[hoary glade]

Also locked every other specializations in a paywall

[brazen elm]

i mean that's a pretty common trope

[hoary glade]

Secondary weapons are also locked for a 4.99$ dlc

Was hosting tier 9

[random laurel]

How goes the grind lads

Do you guys get your proto mods today

[fervent sierra]

what's y'all least favorite thing about this game

I wish there was more animal in the game

Although sometimes u can find dogs and approach them n they won't run away

I remember standing next to one

Also if I'm ever playing open world stuff and the group im with n some guy kills a deer or dog I leave

[obsidian atlas]

the lack of melee gameplay

[vernal skiff]

just started div 2 after a long 3 year break, unfortunately i cant get my progress from ps4 to pc, is the game worth playing now? and how long will it take to hit lvl 40, i want to get the latest dlc as well but not sure if i should yet. any advice ? thanks.

[vernal void]

why does escalation punishes status builds so hard?

[fervent sierra]

I mean they're ok but some modes require brute force

[obsidian atlas]

f u, we hate fun, go die with tech builds - Says no one at Massive

[fervent sierra]

I mean we have lady death plus claws out and that one exotic gloves although u should probably just use sweet dreams at that point

[obsidian atlas]

and that's the point

[kind veldt]

finally hunters fury

[vernal void]

ongoing directive was one best most chill builds to use in most content only to be completely unusable in that mode. Eclipse protocol basically only works once lmao.

[kind veldt]

probably to not let people stunlock all enemies, which also creates a question why bother with a bunch of skill

[fervent sierra]

I mean it just depends on ur group and whatever also the higher tier u go up the more u wanna use pure DPS

OD is good tho especially for buffing ur teams dps

[obsidian atlas]

trying to incentivize different and variety of playstyle but not creative or imaginative enough to make it work

[rustic frost]

Still no fix on Agitator yet?

[obsidian atlas]

ambition met with incompetence

[kind veldt]

its the weird situation of needing people to push the harderst, and only one thing work so it gets boring fast

[fervent sierra]

I feel they might add it in td3 since heartland had a melee option

Also ur agents n ur in a gun fight 90% of the time unless fighting heyenas so why would u want a melee?

[obsidian atlas]

i grinded so hard to end the battlepass yet now im pondering if i should buy the damn thing for a game that delta my butt every 5 seconds

[obsidian atlas]

hunters, batons, STYLE AND DRIP full of serotonin

[fervent sierra]

I feel sometimes delta is cuz of ur Internet

[brisk gust]

Td3 is dropping in 2030

[vernal void]

yep it is a good buffer IF you can get the status effect to stick. In higher tier escalations. I just stops working. I went to tier 2 solo even and ongoing just does not work.

[fervent sierra]

I honestly rarely get delta

[hardy rover]

What’s Hunters fury even good for or with

[kind veldt]

shotguns and close range

[vernal void]

they achieve the complete opposite. only a handful of ones remain

[hardy rover]

Like a full blue core build with it? Or what

[fervent sierra]

It's the best cqb gear set especially pair with momento

[rustic frost]

Shotguns and smgs

[fervent sierra]

Also it works great with hh and regulus

[fervent sierra]

Depends on if solo or group

[rustic frost]

I honestly don’t even feel like playing till they fix the agitator I didn’t complete the pass just to vault the gun in the first month of release🤦🏾‍♂️

[obsidian atlas]

is it so hard to ask for finisher type gameplay where enemies are downed but not out so their allies can revive and then we exploit that to our advantage, like oh i don't know Far Cry 5

[fervent sierra]

But HF is good as it offers, CC , amp damage, hok and aok n pair it with momento u good

[vernal void]

what content? most the time blue core builds just do not work very well unforunately. I think they should make blue core have more aggro or something

[fervent sierra]

Some of the stuff ur asking for is already in other games so

[unique bramble]

Sorry, only the div1 hunters have this privilege

[obsidian atlas]

oh would you look at that, FC5 came out back in 18 and Div2 came out in 19

and they learned ZERO NADA NOTHING

[hardy rover]

If I’m bored I run blue core backfire memento and face tank everything while still dealing good damages in legendary

[fervent sierra]

Agent calm down it's not that deep

[unique bramble]

Different teams and different time spans of development, I don't get your point.

[brisk gust]

Td1 will always be the best division

[fervent sierra]

Dz wise yes

[obsidian atlas]

i'm sorry that i loved this game so much that it hurts eh?

[unique bramble]

Heartland is better

[brisk gust]

yh dz is mostly why ppl play this

[fervent sierra]

2 different types of games tho

[obsidian atlas]

it comes so close yet it couldn't be any further from a dream, it's LIMBO playing this game

[hardy rover]

Vegas 2 while ur at it

[candid oar]

genuine question,
why in the #### people are disabling the global event to play escalation ?????????????
it's so useful.

[fervent sierra]

Idk I like rainbow six 3 back on the ps2

[brisk gust]

Bro speaking roblox language using #

[unique bramble]

Why the shit you mean?

[hardy rover]

I use the stun from the modifiers to one shot mini tanks and stuff and stun people for escalation against BT

[undone timber]

Depending on mission modifiers can be more useful

I.e if you're taking fights at range

[fervent sierra]

Global event atm isn't ideal for eecal as it's mostly for cqb so seasonal modifier especially the one that lets u shock enemies is better

[vernal void]

what stuns. also I kind of wish they can just rebalance the modifiers they decided to give us though.

[obsidian atlas]

you know what, i think on it and for people who could die at anytime in the line of work they do, characters are too polite towards their enemy in div 2

[hardy rover]

The shock-stun, lol

[candid oar]

that's insane, you can deal incredible amounts of damage with this global event
no point in not using it....

[fervent sierra]

Wtf are u on about?

[undone timber]

At close range

[fervent sierra]

Only in cqb

[stoic swan]

Guys does anyone know, for the season journey, does completing raids in Discovery mode count?

[undone timber]

For the journey yep

[candid oar]

the closer you get, the more the damage,
you don't have to be face to face to deal extra damage

[hardy rover]

Cqc in escalation doesn’t seem to be smart lol

[vernal void]

you mean the shock status i only works once in escalation before they become immune?

[obsidian atlas]

i could not think of an instance where any of the characters in the game who enraged me using dialogue alone

[stoic swan]

Awesome, thanks! I'm done with all the legendary, only left with raid and incursion now

[undone timber]

Yes

[hardy rover]

It only needs to work once. What’s the issue?

[undone timber]

It will insta kill skill proxies tho regardless afaik

[fervent sierra]

Yea most of dialogue in this game is annoying

[hardy rover]

This

[fervent sierra]

Although some are kinda funny

[candid oar]

simple. you get close enough to take advantage of the extra damage,
but not too close to avoid being stunned by the modifier (or whatever it's caleld)

[undone timber]

Optimise/overload and blackout pulse are both really good

[fervent sierra]

Like the one in dua heyenas

[obsidian atlas]

i feel nothing but nothing playing this game when it comes to the story

[unique bramble]

It's a f cistern never gets old.

[undone timber]

Cloud armour is okay I guess but if you have a healer already it's useless

[fervent sierra]

Play god of war or something else that's storydriven

[undone timber]

Been going through Max Payne 3 recently, (pain)killer game

[obsidian atlas]

problem is this game is the only one that is close enough to a tactical cover shooter rpg i've been looking for

[fervent sierra]

I never played 3 but 2 and one was good also the movie was good with my husband mark

[fervent sierra]

Ready or not, arma , tarkov? Squad?

[hardy rover]

Ready or not’s AI is questionable

[fervent sierra]

I still need to do the story and then the dlc

[obsidian atlas]

went through ron, arma's beyond my pc spec, tarkov too hard or societal experiment oriented, and squad, i don't remember squad

let's see the price tag.......no

[fervent sierra]

Operation harsh doorstep is good and insurgency 1 and sandstormw is good

[obsidian atlas]

welp time to chew on synthetik

sometimes i wish div2 was a bit closer to that

[fervent sierra]

Are u ok? Do u need someone to talk to?

@hybrid ore

[obsidian atlas]

i've been not ok for a long while, but thanks for asking

Synthetik is the name of the game on steam btw if you're concerned

[unique bramble]

why did you tag a mod?

[fervent sierra]

My DM is open of u ever need to vent or wanna talk about it

[obsidian atlas]

of all the people to tag he did tagged the most qualified person to deal with me tho, a sensible action

[fervent sierra]

Idk maybe she could help or offer some wisdom

[hardy rover]

I’m pretty qualified as well but I’d have to get out of bed first and I wouldn’t do it in a public discord of all things

[vernal void]

It would be funny if they do the reverse next content patch for global mods for escalation. The more direct damage you do in 2 secs the more drastic their DR and damage. Dot damage bypasses it. Or the more blue cores you have the less dr they have.

It will still be misery though

[obsidian atlas]

at least it incentivizes diversity, that's the buzzword these days

[kind veldt]

dont random tag, it's not polite

[fervent sierra]

Things will be ok tho and will get better tho u just gotta keep being strong and take life by the balls

[fervent sierra]

Sorry..

[obsidian atlas]

not sure if i had pep talk by discord user on my bingo card but sure i'll take it

[fervent sierra]

Gotta hate trying to do the right thing and then I look like the bad guy

[vernal void]

A mode that does the opposite of build diversity is great design and totally has no lasting consequences.

[fervent sierra]

Anyway this is going off td2 so we should go back to td2

[obsidian atlas]

it's not gonna be the cliche "that's what you get for being kind" or some such, but i would say as vast as humanity spans you will always be wrong and right at all times

[unique bramble]

We are not questioning your action just the way you executed it, I mean, this is a big chat about a shooter game I don't know if this is the best place to do it you know?

[obsidian atlas]

i remember my time back in Overwatch, that German brat ruined everything

[fervent sierra]

Wasn't a random tag tho considering I couldve tagged anyone else I was just trying to look out for a agent that's down

[fervent sierra]

Good point

[kind veldt]

Anyhow proto gear can help less.interesting stuff be stronger but at the same time whats strong will only get stronger which makes most people ignore the other stuff

[fervent sierra]

why people kinda go for striker xd

[kind veldt]

Thats why im going to farm hunters fury, want to see good it can push with busted stats

[obsidian atlas]

look that's nice of you but i'm sure you can brush up a bit on Discord ettiquette if that is such a thing.

[fervent sierra]

Devs really should buff a lot of the older sets and brands

[obsidian atlas]

i can't believe i actually found my self on break period that fast considering how long it took me with warframe

[kind veldt]

D3 should have different rules for builds so its not the same game

[obsidian atlas]

i would like for brands and gearsets to be more incorporated into the story

gearsets are different division doctrines, and branded gears are of different corporations

[fervent sierra]

Y'all still rocking the kitusuni/ ronin drip btw

[kind veldt]

resurgence actually make specs like classes and do crazy stuff with them to make htem more interesting

like drone operator just say has 3 drones out at the same time

[obsidian atlas]

THREE?

[fervent sierra]

I like vanguard and the tech medic

[kind veldt]

up to three

[fervent sierra]

Bulwark is annoying in pvp tho

[obsidian atlas]

wait till you see core strength

[fervent sierra]

I did conflict the other day n people ran that

[obsidian atlas]

all the tech tier and still 75% of weapon damage and armor to spare

or at least that's the math

[fervent sierra]

I still don't see it much in dz tho

[obsidian atlas]

takes time to incorporate a different gear set to the playstyle

considering the gear set that came out last month? give another good while before someone else makes something broken with it

[undone timber]

It's just fundamentally nothing special for pve

[obsidian atlas]

IT IS FOR ME

well it's close enough to a hunter i'll ever be

[livid pebble]

whats for esca today?

[dim frigate]

gear mods heartbreaker belstone armory hunters fury assault rifles

[timber hatch]

The pins in this chat auto update it each day

[ebon parrot]

do aguments stacks?

[polar thorn]

Prototype m60 is shredding but less dps than I thought.

[brazen elm]

yes, the ones on your gear and the one on the gun you're using stack

[jovial monolith]

Those low levels in escalation are the biggest problem right now lol

[brazen elm]

doesn't the game already have that

[sour void]

Snitch cards based on a regular deck of playing and tarot cards exist for open world bosses in Division 2.

[misty niche]

I didn't know that I'll retract my post.

[drowsy tendon]

there's one thing i appreciate about this game when it comes to weather

when you hear the thunder rolling and look at the direction from it came from, you will see dark clouds getting closer

one side it's blue and clear, the other side is just completely dark

the game doesn't use volumetric clouds or any of the sort but they really pulled it off perfectly, especially the sun's brightness dimming the more clouds cover it

[hoary glade]

Man core strength be broken with capacitor

[solar geyser]

stop

[hoary glade]

200k WD is crazy work

[hoary glade]

Not in pve

But getting 200k as WD is crazy

[solar geyser]

i know just keep it quiet... then it get nerfed 🙁

[polar thorn]

all that to be sprayed by sheriff

[hoary glade]

1v1 me in DZ

Speaking of DZ it was crowded earlier. Probably a scrimmage or smth

[polar thorn]

Let me craft my Sheriff rq

nvm, idh enough diamond receivers

[hoary glade]

2 groups were going at it and i just finish of the damaged ones from far away

[obsidian atlas]

hell yeah brother

[fervent sierra]

Hi

[hoary glade]

Capacitor be getting that double dip

[obsidian atlas]

greetings, you're speaking to the horse girls trainer, inside trader and gambler, how may i assist you?

[dire meteor]

[unique bramble]

As it should 🫢

[polar thorn]

wth

hi un-

[dire meteor]

..

[random laurel]

Cant wait to get home and farm HF. Only to get all rainbow rolls for all the drops.

[kind veldt]

god i love hunters fury

shotguns rise up

[random laurel]

Same. Hunters fury and OD are my bread and butter. Ive always been the "charge and pressure the enemies" type of player

[brazen elm]

HF is fun i hate how it relies so much on kills

[random laurel]

If I get all my hunters fury today, I can remove one of my blue cores since expertise 30 gives you one blue core so it won't be needed

[random laurel]

Thats the only downside but when it gets going its amazing. If you know the enemy spawns, its game over for enemies once it snowballs

[torpid ocean]

bruh, i was just gonna chill and farm t3 camp white oak. first run and there's already rogue agents

[random laurel]

Good luck my boy

[brazen elm]

could be worse could be a higher tier

[random laurel]

Btw if anyone has a picture of a rogue agent in front of them pls dm me it. I wanna do a dark souls boss meme out of it

[torpid ocean]

can't chill any tier higher than 3

already lost my tokens and don't even have any to run t3 again

what a great system

[random laurel]

Yeah its bad. I hosted one yesterday and some dudes were going at it like Rambo. They all died and these shitheads are shd 3000+

[brazen elm]

more proof of how little shd means

[random laurel]

Back hurts from carrying these Leroy jenkins

Yeah. I think one of them was using core strength and another using 4 blue cores striker

[hoary glade]

Jesus christ

Tier 10 rogue agents be the death of me

[random laurel]

I cant be arsed again to host

[hoary glade]

5 rogue agents that are near unkillable ToT

[random laurel]

Yeah they can pop a medkit like 2 times right?

[hoary glade]

Didnt even drop any proto gear but gave us hell for good 15 minutes

[random laurel]

They should drop at least 3 proto items with all the bullet sponginess they have

Each one. Makes it fair for all that effort

[torpid ocean]

i might just go the long way and farm mats and proto my current weapons/gears

[random laurel]

Ya mon. From my experience the rolls are garbage before you start getting good items. Im expertise 26 so I cant myself and I dont have much exotic components

[hoary glade]

Right?

[pearl glade]

Is there any chance that weight get to reroll the talents and attributes on proto weapons and gears anytime soon ?

[astral flare]

Soon I don't think so but bound to happen

[drowsy tendon]

oh. okay. server restart

[kind veldt]

there has been mentions of recal might happening in some form to proto items in early PTS notes but they are probalby stil ltrying to fix the other stuff

[cinder perch]

Anyone getting Bravo?

[umbral dock]

gotta say, LMG frenzy killer tinkerer strikers feels a lot better than overdogs in escalation

[astral flare]

Why no one talks about Handbasket in a hotshot build? This weapon got to be my favourite for many reasons

[north epoch]

Tinkerer lmg strikers all proto feels like the "new meta" in T7 +

[fluid meadow]

Damage doesn't reach certain breakpoints

[kind veldt]

Its "low damage" for a MMR

While it just an semi auto 1886

[undone dirge]

Is it really only possible to get an Ouroboros from escalation, I thought you can get the blueprint, but my friend told me you can only get the blueprint if you’ve gotten ouroboros before?

[zenith urchin]

i use a determined holo sight handbasket as my close range backup
but other than being semi auto with damage in the bolt action range it just has disadvantages to the meta mainstays

[astral flare]

Which content you are talking about? The new escaltion tier?

[kind veldt]

Retaliation, escalation is for proto gear that doesnt have exotic versions

You can get blueprints from retal

[undone dirge]

So I can get it before I obtain it in incursion?

I meant to say incursion sorry about that

[astral flare]

It has nearly double the magazine , more power, range and can be scoped ...1886 was my jam until I started playing Handbasket

[astral flare]

Is meta defined as clearing escalation ?

[zenith urchin]

no hotshot doesnt even get brought into escalation

[astral flare]

I never tried it beyond tier 4

[zenith urchin]

having to compete with white death or tactical 308 with only a slight rpm increase in exchange for slightly less damage, it doesnt see much use

[brazen elm]

escalation meta is much stricter, before that i'd say being able to solo heroic for most players would be my metric for meta

[astral flare]

For solo players the system seems new and more improvmemt need to happen clearly groups have advantages

[brazen elm]

but even then anything can work in solo heroic with enough skill

with 4p hotshot and skill you don't even need to reload, and even then it's not like white death reload is that slow

[zenith urchin]

even when you run 3pc and need to reload, white death empty reload is as fast as handbasket

[astral flare]

If it is compared to Handbasket it is slow and you need to hit your shots since the mag is 5 compared to 16 handbasket. WD is my 2nd weapon has the highest dmg on first shot

[brazen elm]

if that was an issue i'd either use determined or just an entirely diff build

[astral flare]

Handbasket still 1 shot everything on heroic and legendaries yes?

[brazen elm]

... what difficulty are you on

[zenith urchin]

not legendary, and not yellow bars without hh

[undone dirge]

Is it really only possible to get an Ouroboros from incursion, I thought you can get the blueprint, but my friend told me you can only get the blueprint if you’ve gotten ouroboros before?

[zenith urchin]

bp drops from black tusk retaliation clears

[astral flare]

You never 1 shot elite on Legendary too with WD.

[zenith urchin]

you dont need to have ouro

[brazen elm]

it fun tho

[zenith urchin]

no handbasket just doesnt oneshot elites in heroic either

you need headhunter stacks

[brazen elm]

mmr builds rely on headhunter which needs high WD weapons

[astral flare]

Handbasket : fast clear heroic like nothing

WD: hit like truck , slower best in group or where more dmg needed

[zenith urchin]

handbasket isnt fast lmao
its rpm is deliberately closer to bolt actions just without the bolt

[astral flare]

True but my question where do Handbasket struggel? After headhunter is aktive u 1 shot elite too even on leg

[astral flare]

Equip a scope on handbasket and compared to WD then tell me if it is fast or not. Put a timer for lets say 5 shots

[zenith urchin]

this has been my main build since hitting lvl40 and handbasket has been a mainstay since i got it
just trust me when i say white death and tactical 308 are better

you can enjoy handbasket without claiming its the best thing since sliced bread

[astral flare]

Just trust me bro moment aye. You could not give a single real situation @zenith urchin

[brazen elm]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1j4Km15oZKIc1Hym0y-G2nMMYDH6mqRgLiumI68E724E

[zenith urchin]

because im eating goddamn dinner leave me alone

[brazen elm]

you honestly don't have much credibility in this, i'd take zeta's advice over yours

[astral flare]

@brazen elm again tell me which situation (according to you Heroic is meta) where handbasket is not enough dmg?

[hardy rover]

i almost just got a double max roll HF backpack with headshot damage and im like, but ill never use this

[brazen elm]

the humble HHF:

actually yeah that one doesn't use the backpack

[grim charm]

How are you gonna use it, if you only almost got it

[hardy rover]

yeah dude like, wtf

22.1% damage and 14.3% HSD

but i cant even get the other FOUR pieces to drop that Im actually trying to get

so its just gonna sit in the stash

[brazen elm]

Proto optimization soon trust

[fluid meadow]

Imagine optimising those items that only have 1 attribute maxed

[hardy rover]

Better than nothing

[drowsy tendon]

that's a shame. i can't use the shark bait weapon skin code. i was too late

[kind veldt]

#lfg-playstation

[fluid meadow]

i have 1 named item blueprint left to have all of them.........

[sour void]

Is it Cabaret?

[fluid meadow]

huntsman...

which is fitting as i was hunting for them all

[sour void]

Lol

[meager hazel]

I can't wait for The Developers to improve The A.I., I have a strong theory that gameplay will change drastically

[lapis rock]

Is Lexington prototype worth upgrading to?

[sour void]

For the most part, yeah, but it wouldn't be my first choice.

LMG prototypes are all the rage right now.

[lapis rock]

Ah Ok

Using the Lex lately and kinda love it, I have a protyped Gear Shift and Bell Ringer so far that got dropped

Bell ringer prototyped is actually pretty sick lol

[jovial monolith]

For imagine you want to play a easy tier 5 round and a level 83 player is joining 😆

[sour void]

❌ [Lv83-Player] has been kicked

Unless these players are at least SHD 1000, they're not getting in

[random laurel]

They should be locked out of it. A message saying "you have be shd 1k to join this activity "

Not to gatekeep but it is what it is

Cant have dead weight on the team

[grave skiff]

i did a shd 5 the other day im at 488 none of the people that join were 1000 either, is that like a curtesy thing

[random laurel]

But I will say I did play with a shd 500 on t5 once and buddy did well. But that's a 1 in 1000 encounter

[full zinc]

All fun and games till a 10k ninjabuild joins. Shd doesnt mean much

[astral jacinth]

Any current news on crossplay?

[random laurel]

None so far boss. Id be playing with @polar thorn _ if crossplay was here

[loud ember]

Any info about new event pass kicking in with brooklyn anniversary ?! Seems like tweet has been deleted

[kind veldt]

just going to have to wait for it

[polar thorn]

nah, im the worst player

[zealous osprey]

So, guys, is mandatory being lvl 30 expertise? Other hand, u only can farm with tons of RNG to take a good item, coz u cant use protolab or convert normal set pieces into proto

[polar thorn]

if you wanted a certain weapon with talents you need, yes.

I spent lots of time for single copy of mk46 and it's not even talent frenzy nor chc as 3rd attributes 😭

[kind veldt]

Expertise being mandatory feels like a fever dream the community is having

[polar thorn]

already at expertise 24, there's no going back now

[random laurel]

Or something like me how all 3 stats and talent is frenzy but the stats are like 60% optimized lol.

Good thing I still have like 3k shd points to spend on materials

[drowsy tendon]

i wonder, does Resurgence play exactly like TD2?

[kind veldt]

#lfg-raid-pc

[kind veldt]

Hybrid of 1 and 2

Uses health and medkits of 1, stat progression of 1, but gear systems closer to 2

[drowsy tendon]

ah. should be easy to jump into with a controller

[drowsy tendon]

movement i noticed from videos so far, they resemble TD2 more and i like that

one my my gripes with 1 is that you're limited to like, 45° angle running

compared to 2 where you can run for at least more than 180°

dk why they didn't just make it 360° so you can look behind while sprinting tbh but it's okay

[worthy carbon]

What is the best healer talent and aug combo for high tiers? I found sledge to be highly situational and prefer reformation for up time. Any thoughts?

[drowsy tendon]

shame winter DC will only exist on Survival... lowkey would love to see it with normal gameplay too

[granite fjord]

Does the targeted loot reset daily or weekly?

[drowsy tendon]

daily iirc

[normal snow]

I believe there's a spreadsheet about the weapon talent + gear in #td2-build-advice in pinned message.

But as for me, i ran Bittersweet and Lexington Reformation

[normal snow]

Daily

[drowsy tendon]

Ken Ito's outfit... aw man. it looks cool

Battle Hardened skin too

[zealous osprey]

Yea man me 12 but going to be 30, if u decide to start the grind u cant stop it

[drowsy tendon]

good lord. i didn't know how much meta guns i have with me until i looked at my stash... since when did i get three Pestilences...?

just need EB and St Elmo

[stoic hawk]

Damn, room!

I'm just now seeing the first episode of The Punisher. Is there a Punisher skin to download?

Watching this episode, all I could think of was TD2.

[drowsy tendon]

closest is the Manhunt skin idk

[zenith urchin]

no i think the punisher would despise the division

[hardy rover]

EB is not meta dw

[jovial monolith]

You know I play much escalation the last weeks and many high level Players are not really good. I play sometimes with 2000 level players they know the spawns and how to play. But a level 83 is just a joke massive entertainment needs to change that low level cant join.

[umbral dock]

open exotic cache
oh cool pestilence, i’ll use this later and put it in my stash

forget about it for a month, repeat 3 times

that’s how it goes for me and then i’m like oh gotta clean out my doctor homes

[grave skiff]

ny

[zenith urchin]

whenever i get an exotic im not sure is better than my existing one in the stash, i go and immediately check
its usually worse

[sour void]

Oh, they won't. Most of the team is likely focusing on cosmetics.

[zealous osprey]

Guys to farm the hollow man mask what is the best method to farm it

[zenith urchin]

you cant really farm it, its a dz exclusive brand and named item
i guess just run dz when target loot is masks, and open the safehouse lockers for dz exclusive loot?

[faint talon]

New scout 7 - warhounds working only in whitehouse? I tried to get them on legendary tidal basin fast but not counting toward goal

[zenith urchin]

no they count everywhere, were the ones in tidal basin named ones

[faint talon]

No, just purple and yellow

[zenith urchin]

honestly couldnt tell you why, that didnt work, it worked for me all over dc

[zealous osprey]

It can be looted from named caches right?

[zenith urchin]

yes but thats more of a secondary source than a good way to get it

[zealous osprey]

Well the first source is dz when mask was the target loot and what activity should do there?

Never joined DZ

[nocturne elk]

Hearbreaker and Hunters fury 🤧🤧 they heard my cry...

[violet flume]

find someone with houndsman bountie and pray to rngeesus

[green badge]

HB only drops with main core Blue. Keep crying.

I did 5 runs before I realised why I wasn't getting any WD ones.😋

[zenith urchin]

heartbreaker's entire appeal is the blue cores and getting damage amp instantly on pulsed enemies

[eager dock]

does anyone no why my mask stayed at 15% wd instead of 22.5 when coverting to prototype? all my other gear went to 22.5%?

[charred talon]

goes well with the technician's linked laser sight

which pulses enemies you aim at

[stone fiber]

Hey if I complete a journey chapter now but dont claim till the 5x season xp will it give the 5x or the normal amount

[zenith urchin]

5x

[zenith urchin]

or just pulse and a high base damage weapon (bighorn)

[silver eagle]

man 2 rouge agents when I play solo esca is too much for me

[green badge]

Usually. But I have a red HB build, so I was looking to replace a few all redpieces.

[lunar hare]

rng

[zenith urchin]

just go striker if you want red cores man

[charred talon]

i used to use eagle bearer with it for the headshots and momento with the shield

[zenith urchin]

eagle bearer is better with striker

[charred talon]

i currently run st elmo with core strength and momento

[cold cape]

What’s goood

[warm zephyr]

whats with the Retaliation levels? what happens when they rank "up". how do you rank those up? etc

[kind veldt]

you can stack to do multiple of them in a row if you want

only one faction can have retal active

[charred talon]

you kill enemies to rank up a factions retalation and when they rank up they try to retake control points around the city

[grim charm]

That's not levels, it just lets you "save up" up to 3 retaliations of the same faction

[charred talon]

they succeed if you don't do the retaliation and you have to re-capture the control point again

[warm zephyr]

awesome. ty

[nocturne elk]

That's not what im caring about though

i just want a replacement for the blue gear i already use tbh

[green badge]

Oh nice. In that case, good luck farming.

[woeful marsh]

Hit 50 in the dark zone rank. Not too bad at SHD 70

What’s the main thing in there now, just pvp?

I like doing my priority stuff in there.

[unique bramble]

Cool, I just found a IT the thing red balloon reference at the sewers.

[grim charm]

Enjoy it while you can, it's very very chill until you hit SHD1000, then you get put in the same bracket as everyone else. But up until then you can farm almost undisturbed in it.

But main thing is PVP yea, once you're in the top bracket

[woeful marsh]

Well, i'll enjoy the nice calm dark zone while i can

i have had my fair share of pvp and trying to learn builds which has been fun

Got melted by a dude. Went and changed my build then farmed him for 30 mins till he left the zone

[cloud badge]

I got my first prototype gun with echo on it

[candid radish]

Retaliation wouldn’t be so bad if I wasn’t getting freaking flanked by a swarm of new enemies all the damn time, while trying to take an outpost! Sheesh man. Give me a damn freaking break.

[cloud badge]

It was a p90 :/

[random laurel]

Good job boss. Gotta teach these punks a lesson.

[zenith urchin]

pvp is quite fun even though i keep getting my ass kicked lol

[obtuse ravine]

does anyone happen to have a quickstep bounty they can get me in on so I can outrun diddy when I get to the nyc dlc? (its actually so my friends dont keep leaving me lmao)

[zenith urchin]

aaand we are getting spawncamped by cringe ass riot foam restorer hive nerds

[ebon igloo]

Those random mobs are real pain, especially trueson technicians or lmg sniping you from the middle of nowhere to find. Spawning behind your back isn't even flanking. There are some situations they spawn underground that I couldn't clear them out to regen armour after finishing control point

[candid radish]

For real. They spawn behind when I got enemies in front of me. Like where the hell am I supposed to go?! It was really annoying because a kill squad was on me right near an outpost. There was only one dude left from the Kill Squad but they kept running the hell away!!!

[ornate crystal]

yeah if you in an invaded dz they do that lol shoot they're still try do that in a non invaded one too but much easier for them in a invaded one

[inner crystal]

Is matchmaking broken ? Been trying to match make for 30 mins now

[zenith urchin]

its conflict

[ornate crystal]

oh yeah that's always a thing lmao

they gon sit right on that too lol

[zenith urchin]

and i dont want to accuse anyone but a couple of them seemed like they were lag switching
damaging me before i could see them out of cover, taking delayed damage etc

the game's netcode sucks but this was beyond that

[random laurel]

If I see a full squad named "lIlIlIz" im backing out. Cannot be arsed to deal with sweats

[candid radish]

But I will say I’m loving the SMG-9 paired with Striker.

[ornate crystal]

sighs ofc its that nm

[hardy rover]

The gta paradox

At least you can rest easy knowing they’ll die without contributing anything useful to anyone but themselves and that’s being a waste of space

95% of sweats who pick names like that in video games are usually losers

And I say this as a big pvp guy in games

[random laurel]

When you actually kill them they disconnect their entire console to avoid having their k/d lowered. They're literal nerds

[hardy rover]

Yeah I used to be way more into PvP in games like gta and destiny 2 and people will do the absolutely weirdest stuff to bloat their ego

[ebon igloo]

Coming out of a wardrobe like a god damn magic show

[zenith urchin]

oh wow i was the second best player and highest k/d on my team

[hardy rover]

Congrats

[random laurel]

Yeah those snipers run away and make you lose the kill squad lol. Its like their AI defaults to "squad members dead. Let's run 3 football fields" lost tons of kill squads because of them

[candid radish]

Seriously! Since I’ve been doing pretty fine with challenging free roam, I went into challenging retaliation. And it was alright until the kill squad got there and the last dude kept running away into the other enemies and then I’m getting swarmed from all sides. Like can we tone down the freaking spawn rate please??!!!

[random laurel]

Good job mate. Those cheaters suck even when they do their tricks lol

[zenith urchin]

they werent cheaters that time lol

[hardy rover]

Easiest way to piss a sweat off is to make it take longer for them to kill you, by any means necessary, waste their time

[random laurel]

Oh shit

[zenith urchin]

winning a fair fight is much more fun

[random laurel]

I play on console and some of us don't have the best aim(including myself) best trick to annoy a console user is run back and forth in a door lol. They can't aim for shit and will get angry

[zenith urchin]

ive noticed popping their hives and seekers from behind cover with jammer pulse pisses them off too

they really wanted me dead they were shooting at my lifeless corpse

[random laurel]

Playing nomad solo in the first game was troll incarnate. Sometimes the 6 piece bonus would proc 1...2...3... times in a row. Run away wait for the cooldown to come back and do the same. Received lots of hate mail because of it

Massive dont put nomad back in div 2 lol

[inner crystal]

What the hell us going in. Escalation finally has a gear set I want to farm and there is no one to match make with. It’s been 40 mins. I have quit the game and restarted it. Is there really no one on?

[dim frigate]

Xd console dying out 🤣

[zealous hawk]

Looks like I'm pretty late to the line for bounty runs. How long y'all gonna be at it?

[random laurel]

Matchmaking is iffy broski, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt.. I run with my clan sometimes. I'd suggest gcrocks discord

Even if you do get into a PUG you gotta watch out for Mr 4 blue core rambo

[inner crystal]

I’m on PC

[dim frigate]

Your role says ps but I was just on pc and had groups idk what your issue is then

[inner crystal]

Yeah I rebought the game on PC yesterday and started over

On challenging

[umbral dock]

do you have the global event on

[dim frigate]

Why do escal then instead of other stuff to get gear and expertise?

[inner crystal]

No I didn’t

Just activated it

No difference

[zealous hawk]

do u have to finish day one global event challenges to unlock the subsequents?

[grim charm]

If you mean for Assault, no. It only has the day 1 challenges

[zealous hawk]

ty

[dim frigate]

Anyone know if division will go on sale soon?

Trying to get a friend into the game

[zealous hawk]

Ii would say maybeeee for the upcoming brooklyn anniversary perhaps like they did with the 10 year

[woeful marsh]

ubisoft games go on sale twice a month more or less

[zenith urchin]

the sales are pretty big too on ubi connect

[spare sorrel]

hey quick question, so my game recently has been freezing and I don't have a clue why, I've restatrted my computer, and unitsall and re-installed, what else should i try?

[zenith urchin]

is it during countdown after the main objective completion

[twilit cipher]

@dim frigate std d2 is just 6.25 right now!

[spare sorrel]

no i'm trying to play brooklyn but i keep freezing, so maybe possibly

[dim frigate]

Oh shit okay on steam or ubi?

[spare sorrel]

steam

[twilit cipher]

ubi

or u can go ubi+ an get it all for a month lol

[zenith urchin]

well the only freezing bug i know of is the countdown main obj chest instability issue
it might be an issue with your rig, maybe outdated drivers or settings above what it can handle

[spare sorrel]

I have everything turned to low or off though

[zenith urchin]

when did you last update your gpu driver

[spare sorrel]

I couldn't tell you

[zenith urchin]

go do that then

[unique bramble]

Me and some friends of mine like to call the countdown chest the Pandora's box

[spare sorrel]

wait that the graphics card right? I updated it yesterday

[hardy rover]

i cant even get a t5 escal rn for hunters fury so i might just not even bother

[zenith urchin]

yeah im out of ideas, ask ubisoft support
havent heard of anything like your issue specifically

[spare sorrel]

ok

[crimson escarp]

Servers down any1 knows why?

[feral yarrow]

I've been having some issues intermittently on div2 with my amd gpu, after the latest driver update

But i think thats just an amd issue, because its happening on other games for me aswell

[hardy jacinth]

happened to me as well

[broken sage]

How does this prototype shit work?

[remote lynx]

So whats worth farming from todays escal?

[random laurel]

Probably just assault rifles mate. If HF your thing, go for that. Im a HF enthusiast myself so my opinion is biased

[viscid mulch]

New to Striker, what weapon talents pair best for non-exotic weapons? Fast hands, preservation.. What do folks use?

[valid lava]

if you're solo, Killer is usually a solid option, in a group, I've seen measured and fast hands, Frenzy on LMGs

[frosty brook]

killer for solo measured for groups, back and forth can be good

[olive nova]

can hazard protection go above 100% ???

[torn wagon]

does protoing the hollow man always upgrades the damage to health stat?

[random atlas]

What’s the fastest way to get exotics now?

[viscid mulch]

Summit weekly drops an exotic cache, Countdown vendor sells exotic cache for countdown currency

[timid parrot]

retaliation, you get bps and an exotic cache on heroic

[glass flare]

Really need them to introduce a good exotic farm.

[vital aspen]

Priority Objectives

[agile night]

^^^across multiple characters as well. just reroll until you get exotic on an objective you want, then move to an alt when you are out of rerolls

[vital aspen]

Smart tip with the characters!

[agile night]

i mainly do it for project spams for either the daily/weekly or seasonals. but works the same for priority missions

[torn wagon]

Jesus, this doesnt sound like fun at all

[obsidian moth]

Need ppl for general anderson master

[dark sand]

Alright what tier escalation you all do 1-10

[sage thicket]

5-10 depending.

[hardy rover]

Strained

[summer path]

Question, what’s the best way to get overdogs?

[torn wagon]

i would run the retaliation for blueprint

[edgy fable]

Strained kinda pointless on ARs

Rather Measured or Killer if solo

[torn wagon]

how does measured increase the dps? Never understod that talent

[edgy fable]

Burst damage mostly

[agile night]

really good for building initial stacks as well

[summer path]

Matchmaking is wasting my whole day. Is there a better way to find it? Or just go solo? Is challenging/heroic and kill squads the only way on retaliation?

[hardy rover]

Not really

[edgy fable]

RoF increase can also build Striker's stacks

[small spear]

we've come a long way from the days of famas strained

[edgy fable]

Sure, the uptime of the full buff is ridiculously short

[torn wagon]

you can set targeted loot on countdown retal or summit but in my experience retaliation is the best, youll also get tons of other materials and loot, also the field recon

[hardy rover]

Burst is still burst

[agile night]

Retaliation is all around the best thing to farm for all the different rewards it gives for newer players.

[edgy fable]

I have a God rolled proto Lexi with Strained but I use a crappier one with Measured due to better results

[small spear]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rOMhYg43vrK7oM2KRSbctAIIy_BrO-f_uQP0-rver4U/edit?usp=drivesdk

6% for strained, 10% for measured for burst dps

[summer path]

Thanks for the reply, brother. I appreciate it. I’ll get to work.

[hardy rover]

I do not care

[edgy fable]

Obviously

[small spear]

then don't give advice

[hardy rover]

A perk that increases damage consistently is a perk that increases damage consistently

I don’t understand why so many people here are ride or die on their high horse but chill out

[edgy fable]

Strained on a LMG makes more sense due to the higher uptime but not on an AR

[small spear]

because there are worse and better talents always numbers-wise and worse and better talents in QoL, we recommend people with things we've tested in hard content, not purely because of how you judge it on a surface level

i don't understand how you don't get that, excuse yourself before you become a laughing stock

ofc bro leaves because he can't back his claims up...

[sage thicket]

Honestly that's uncalled for, telling people to essentially leave the server or be ridiculed.

[small spear]

i didn't say to leave the server, i said to back up claims with evidence

"I do not care" is not something you want to say to a healthy discussion

[rich tide]

how’s measured compared to optimist for group play

[sage thicket]

I must've understood something wrong then since "excuse yourself" to me sounds a lot like "gtfo".

[small spear]

excuse yourself to me just meant "get it right" in one way or another, if they think the only way is to leave then that's their choice

[sage thicket]

So I have understood something wrong then. The wonders of language at work again.

[edgy fable]

Lmao did he really

[sage thicket]

Also I do agree, stating "don't care" doesn't add anything to a conversation.

[sage thicket]

Left the conversation apparently, not the server.

[small spear]

i'm not gonna move on any further, you can read up and see, it's not very long. weapon talents on ARs have gone a long way. it used to be Strained on FAMAS that was the king of the crop for speedruns.

it has been a VERY long way since then. measured, back and forth are the top 2 general use talents for ARs unless you have something else to take advantage of.

[edgy fable]

Server

[sage thicket]

Their bio says they are still here?

[full zinc]

Still in the server. But its done

[sage thicket]

But that doesn't really matter, does it.

[full zinc]

Move on

[prime anchor]

anyone know to get the quickstep ?

or jus event item only

[rich tide]

were you the one in legendary DUA with the creepy baby mask i saw?

[full zinc]

Yeah i probably was

[grim charm]

Yea event only, but you can check the LFG channels for people with the houndsman bounty, they run them for people who need it from time to time

[rich tide]

lmao

[full zinc]

How i roll lately

[modern sequoia]

What's the best way to farm shd levels

[edgy fable]

XP events

[upper nacelle]

hello, I'm having a bit of a problem. I'm trying to get the Tracker mask in Brooklyn, but the doors won't close on their own, I can't interact with the RUN lever, I basically can't even start the encounter. What should I do?

[edgy fable]

Otherwise CPs and probably also the NBA CA

National Bond Armory classified assignment

[zenith urchin]

also do your daily and weekly projects they give fat xp

[hoary glade]

I feel like the current movement speed bonus should be the standard

[hoary glade]

Full directives landmarks

[torn wagon]

anyone aware of some kind of bug with sharp signature weapon oneshotting everything?

[hoary glade]

You sure its a bug?

[torn wagon]

maybe a cheat actually

[small spear]

is the person using it also using it with high rpm?

[torn wagon]

no, he was oneshotting everything with that sniper through walls on t10

[small spear]

yeah that's a cheat

[hoary glade]

Cheat def

[small spear]

report player, leave group

[torn wagon]

I thought they exist only in pvp, interesting

[hoary glade]

Been alot of cheaters lately, auto nemesis, auto diamond back, auto shotgun svd?

I thought mf was using ACS cuz it packed like a truck turned out it was SVD

[small spear]

people are desperate for prototypes so you start seeing them crop up more in pve

[random laurel]

What does the auto nemesis thing do like does it shoot full auto?

[torn wagon]

must be hilarious

[hoary glade]

Yeah you can even see a ton of trails from the sniper lmao

You can still kill them outsmarting them

[random laurel]

That is pretty funny but so crappy

[small spear]

not anything you really want to care about right now, you have to use third party programs and i don't want to talk further about it because of server rules

[hoary glade]

Almost won with a difference of 2 scores

[random laurel]

My boy has a gun from borderlands

[upper nacelle]

So no one has any idea about the issue I'm having with the Tracker Hunter in Brooklyn?

[small spear]

but as far as i know they can increase the rpm to heavens, can shoot through walls and can kill enemies through armor plates

[hoary glade]

I still dont understand how pvp players can play with nemesis unless they're playing it like intended and actually holding down the scope

[small spear]

if you see any of this happening then it's a cheat, not legit

[hoary glade]

For the armor plates one i encountered in DZ

[random laurel]

Jesus. Wallhacks we have to deal with now

[hoary glade]

I had like 2.5 million armor and his oroborous still shredded me in 0.5 sec

[small spear]

nah, i meant pve enemies like heavies or enemies with helmets

you can kill them through their armor plates without using any programs but you have to put your barrel inside them, but if you see people killing chungas with their armor plates intact without doing that, that's a cheat

[hoary glade]

Technically there is already a default wallhack in game

[random laurel]

Pulse

dabs

Oh wait. Turmoil right

[upper nacelle]

ok

[hoary glade]

Im at that point of division 2 where i gave up on prototype gears and focused on leveling up my expertise and crafting my own prototypes

Im tired of getting rainbow strikers

[ebon steeple]

man getting crit proto heartbreakers is like finding a needle in a haystack

[random laurel]

The happy ending: we never got protoslop update and just played the game before the update

[hoary glade]

Is the hsd common?

Id rather hsd heartbreakers than crit

[ebon steeple]

only red attribute i got in 3 T10 rounds was weapon handling

[ebon steeple]

this "protoslop" update is the only reason im grinding the game again

[hoary glade]

Capacitor broken in pvp with core strength rn

[delicate plume]

nobody is running camp oak? nobody runs heartbreakers anymore, welp killed my night

[wise crane]

I love heartbreaker 🙂

[edgy fable]

I'd guess people with a little experience rather farm HF or ARs today

[kind veldt]

maybe people just really like HF and already have other decent builds

[wise crane]

anyone else having crashign issues? My game has crashed several times this evening?

[ebon lintel]

i hate delta 03 bro

[spring stone]

queue again? what happened this time

[velvet walrus]

Here we go again

[velvet walrus]

I've had it a few times today

[novel tinsel]

So when is crossplay?

[edgy fable]

Some time 2026 apparently

[polar thorn]

31/12/2026

[random laurel]

The year is 2077. We finally got crossplay but a bug plagued our characters and now they got deleted. The playerbase is now at 1k peak

[valid lava]

Bungie did that in less time without even screwing up crossplay

[wise crane]

Thank you for the reply . I've only been on for about 1.5 hours and I've crashed 3 times.

[brave idol]

AR farming is more difficult due to talent. Heartbreaker with a chc/chd is easier compared to AR

[arctic cradle]

anyone want to run escalation?

[hoary glade]

Resurgence renamed the pestilence to strawberry milkshake

[hoary glade]

At year 2077 most of us either died or dying ToT

[hybrid vector]

hey anyone want to do some main missions with me? im level 40

[abstract cypress]

Hey I’m trying to get the ravenous do anyone know how to run the iron horse raid?

[undone timber]

The blueprint can be farmed from retaliations now, easier to do that

[abstract cypress]

What faction

[undone timber]

Black tusk

[near cedar]

Bro why did I get kicked again in the discord

And now I can't join because it's expired link

Can anyone pm me a new link I'm bouuta destroy the bot or mod that keeps kicking me out

Can anyone invite me

@quaint acorn sir do you have the link for the server I've been getting kicked out for no reason if join back in it lets me take captcha again and again and now the server link in socials is expired

[frozen creek]

how do you unlock mastery runs?

[near cedar]

I don't even know I never played td1

[nocturne elk]

Just lost all my tokens on T10 because of server disconnect, can we PLEASE get a safety net system for this shit.

[polar thorn]

this server?

[near cedar]

Tdr

[polar thorn]

Ah, nvm.

[near cedar]

Got link

?

[quaint acorn]

What discord?

[vague mesa]

what third attribute should chatterbox have? CHD? about to try reconfiguring it

[midnight epoch]

Damage to target out of cover

[vague mesa]

oh right doi, I may be stupid

I immediately remembered that’s the norm when you said it

nice got one with max dtoc after a few attempts and almost maxed SMG and chc

[carmine sky]

What is with escalation tonight? Join group, group disbanded, join group, agent left agent left, join group, group disbanded.

[vague mesa]

that’s just average escalation group behavior at this point

[carmine sky]

So fed up with this trash mode tbh.

[carmine sky]

Escalation should be scrapped and just put prototype gear in survival when it comes.

[random laurel]

Bingo chilling

[vague mesa]

that would require Ubisoft admitting they made a bad decision

[carmine sky]

Oh my b you right, not gonna happen then.

[random laurel]

Look at how they left ghost recon breakpoint. Moa island never got released. #ReleaseTheMoaCut

[vague mesa]

I didn’t even know BP was supposed to get another island

[hoary glade]

2 weeks in prototype gears i still dont have a complete proto gearset

[carmine sky]

I just want a prototyped HF set but everyone wants to do Belstone and Heartbreaker.

[random laurel]

Yuppers. It was supposed be a whole raid. You can actually see it in game as an untextured landmass. On the map its blocked by clouds but its there

[vague mesa]

ah

I remember the actual raid was like really damn hard and it was the only way to get certain camos

and then I remember logging in a couple years later and they just gave everyone the camos at some point cause I had them

or no it wasn’t even the camos, it was class unique outfits you could only get from the raid

they changed it so that you unlocked them by doing special challenges for each of the classes

[undone timber]

The guns are still locked behind it

[vague mesa]

I don’t even remember raid locked guns in it tbh

[undone timber]

But ehh the raid is a joke now

[carmine sky]

No they're not.

[vague mesa]

I only cared about the outfits anyway when I played

[carmine sky]

You can get Eaglebearer in DZ landmarks and stretch goal caches now.

[vague mesa]

no he means in breakpoint

[carmine sky]

Oh

breakpoint has a raid? lol

[undone timber]

There's only like two actually unique ones the others are just reskins with special perks

[vague mesa]

ye but it’s pretty balls

unless he also meant division 2 when I meant breakpoint

[undone timber]

Nah I mean breakpoint

[carmine sky]

It's unfortunate cause I wanted to like Breakpoint so bad. Customization was cool, Jon Bernthal as the villain was peak, game just went nowhere.

[vague mesa]

I hated how empty it felt

[carmine sky]

Also only 1 pvp mode that's basically 1 death elimination? That's not Ghost Recon.

Even Future Soldier was better.

[vague mesa]

like division 2 is literally post apocalypse where millions died from a bioweapon and it feels more alive

[carmine sky]

That's the main killer for open world games for me. Massive wide open areas with nothing in between. One gripe I had with Hogwarts Legacy.

From now on devs should be like "Man what should we do for filler content for all these blank spaces? Oh right, Witcher 3 exists, copy that."

[vague mesa]

that’s basically what they did with assassin’s creed’s RPG titles

they admittedly tried to copy the Witcher

[carmine sky]

Unsuccessfully it would seem.

[lethal moon]

I lost my interest in AC when they took the RPG route. What do you mean a guy survives being assassinated because I was one level short?

[carmine sky]

AC in my honest opinion has not been great since Origins. Origins was the absolute best this new rpg setting was, it went downhill from there.

[lethal moon]

My favorite was 3. For as heavy as the combat was in it, it still felt like an AC game.

[carmine sky]

Brotherhood for me.

[lethal moon]

Brotherhood was just peak gaming.

[vague mesa]

I second 3 though Black Flag is a close second

[carmine sky]

Fingers crossed remake will be great.

[vague mesa]

the story of 3 has pacing issues but aside from those issues it’s just a really good story imo

and in hindsight I kinda like Connor as a character more than Ezio

[lethal moon]

That is heresy

[carmine sky]

I disliked Connor. Likeable character but just far too predictable and no personality changes whatsoever. Haytham was the highlight of 3.

[brazen elm]

unity was the last good ac, syndicate was a step down, origins is decent but it's where the downfall starts

[vague mesa]

I think Ezio has a better overall story but that’s also largely due to him being the only one with more than one game

[carmine sky]

Ezio literally only needed one game to make his legacy mark lol

Connor over Ezio is actually a wild take not gonna lie.

[lethal moon]

Fair. I like Connor but Ezio was just... the face of the franchise's arguably best stretch.

[vague mesa]

the homestead missions make a big difference for Connor but a lot of people don’t do them since they’re optional

[carmine sky]

Idk if it was Connor himself or just the VA doing him a disservice. Bro sounded exactly the same in every single conversation, 0 emotion change. Broke immersion quite a bit.

My top 3 favorite assassins are Ezio, Bayek, and Altair

[vague mesa]

I mean, he was pretty reserved personality wise and considering what he went through it makes sense. I think it’s a perfect fit

[brazen elm]

bayek carried origins

[carmine sky]

I was hoping so much for him to kill Amunet for what she did to him. She deserved so little credit for bringing down the hidden ones.

[rapid ledge]

does anybody know what the escalation loot is today

[carmine sky]

Heartbreaker, Belstone, and Hunter's Fury are the only notable ones.

[random laurel]

Best assassin is the one from the movie

[neon crow]

So uhhh the Deltas back?

[vague mesa]

always has been

[random laurel]

Tom clancys the delta

Bro why is everyone putting escalation t0 lol

[neon crow]

Got delta 3 and it's stuck on 0% and won't load

[random laurel]

They could make me leader and I'll pay but these headasses lock it to t0. Instant leave

[brave idol]

You are doing them a favor. It is much easier 3 people

[hoary glade]

Im tired boss

Grinded enough tokens to host t10 and the game went echo delta or whatever tf it is

Didn't even get my tokens back

[random laurel]

Been playing with frenzy, is it better than my setup with big al? Yeah most likely but my gamer™️ hand reloads too soon and lose on potential damage

Or a stray bullet hits me so I waste time positioning into a better spot and lose the bonus. Definitely a skill issue ™️

[stiff shale]

ah I keep getting delta'ed

[random laurel]

You know a escalation game went bad when one of the dudes only got 2 kills 😭

Don't know what buddy was doing but he was playing morale support

[vapid wagon]

hmm... i wonder what to do...

[unkempt cypress]

My go to build now for random escalations is birdies with 4 piece strikers and a walker chest with repair skills cc and obliterate.
Keep my team alive and still hit for 1-1.5 million a shot.

[edgy fable]

Bro

Run an actual Striker's build and hotswap to Birdie's when you need it

[random laurel]

Yeah amigo. Don't argue with infinity because you'll be there for all eternity

Sorry wanted to do an infinity joke. Guess that wasn't it

[edgy fable]

Lol

The way they run a Striker's build isn't effective. Hotswap is the way

[inner elbow]

Birdie as a permanent piece in any build is a trash build

[unkempt cypress]

Prime example of not knowing how to have fun playing your own game. ^
