Or your team is garbage
Shenanigans like that might work on lower tier Escalations but you will hit a will sooner rather than later
in groups it's not just your game, it's 3 other people's
Again I said for random matchmaking 9/10 my teammates seem to not have thumbs.
My go to build now for random escalations
And this is exactly why the token costs need to be equal across all group members
Prioritising your fun in a game mode specifically designed to push your builds to the limit? Hmm I wonder what will go wrong...
+1
Now even Shrek is gaming with DV2
100% honest: thought you'd mess that up.
Was playing earlier in t5 with a guy who kept charging in and popping Exodus
Sheesh
air pollution moment :
Bro thought he was a ninja. Tell buddy the anime event ended last week
no directives in Escalations
random player: hold my exodus
After practicing sniping during escalations today iam not sure if iam a good fit for it
Ive encountered my fair share of rambos today. Think theyre [TITLE CARD INVINCIBLE] but they ain't
Sniping just doesn't work well in escalations
I just couldn't reliably line up headshots
Well, it takes practice
Which is why I tried spending the day using it instead of carrying with refractors for the millionth time
Gotta hold your breath. Take in account the chrysalis effect and pull trigger
The what?
The thing butterflies do
I thought you have have meant coriolis effect š
Just a minute ago I read a reddit post from someone using Exodus gloves. Was he kicked before the last boss encounter? lol
Nah, I was hosting and i did 2 runs
Kk, would have been too much of a coincidence anyway
i dont really have much to do now
Find something or play sth else, lol
Honesty, been running NBA just for the event 
Works if you want to farm SHD
and extra 2 star currency per level
only did 5 times, then I just said to myself : "F this, we ball on FEB".
We can play division resurgence
It's better trust
Group leader? Me? PASS!!! cā,)
Hope you guys got your non existent proto skill mods. Fingers crossed we get exuro tomorrow š¤
Anyone else getting Delta'd a lot today??
Its ok. Wished it was like firecrest tho
Anyway this agent has to go to his swamp and catch some zzzz. See ya agents may the rng be with yall
I just got booted myself
Alright people we now have 1 week and one day before the manhunt mission begins after that a 2 or 3 week grind for goals
And for me helping people with the master manhunt for 1 week on the day it comes out
I finally got a good Big Alejandro reroll
crit chance could be higher but I can optimize the rest
I might need someone to help me with that on PS if the exotic is worth it 
I am on Xbox
Sooooooo I can't help you unfortunately
ye
I just donāt know if the exotic is worth it or not
of course no one does yet since itās not available
I think
I crafted like most of my exotics lol
switching to it buffs it and reloads your primary and secondary weapons.
its called whiplash if anyone wanted to look it up
ew
geo what
geotagged
any photo you take in DC gets accurately represented in apps like Apple or Google Maps. it's so cool
sadly photos are broken on PS5 with HDR enabled but it's still cool to see regardless
uh
Tfw you're farming brand sets in CD and want the unnamed versions but keep getting the doodoo named versions (Habsburg pls ššš)
Tfw you can't matchmake for what you want in Escalation so you have to constantly return to dc from camp white oak.
which exotics from the first game made the jump to 2 so far out of curiosity
I know the ninjabike and Big Al, and evidence shows Caduceus will, but are there others
pakhan
urban mdr, famas, thompson became high end
the apartment kinda but it's more like a reference
Hey, regarding the token system for Escalations:
You know the current system is unfair for party leaders, because the leader deposits all the tokens and loses them when the team loses, while the other members lose nothing.
Do you think Massive is aware of this and implemented it intentionally, or did they simply not care about the token system at all.
They are working on a fix for it I believe
should have been free for entry really, like countdown
Taking their sweet time for a fix. Been out over a month already and they've just left it the mess it is.
@velvet zephyr What's your platform?
Forgot about that lol itll be pc
No because then people would hop straight to t10 clear as much as they could and wipe
Itās hard to balance it corrrectly
imma just bet we can kick low SHD or trolling players who tryna play Tier 8-10
there have been more updates and fixes in the last month, than in the last year. By all means, be annoyed, that's fine, but pretending the improvements that have gone in, somehow haven't or don't exist doesn't really make a whole lot of sense.
the token cost should be split between players i think
why do we punish from failing instead of give reward for completing tho
token cost either should be consistent for everyone, or remove the token cost to run; in principle wagering was fine, in practice the inconsistency of who gets taxed on tokens doesn't really work and that people can a) leverage other people's tokens b) hot-potato who the leader is, makes it somewhat clunky.
What improvements are you speaking of exactly? Cause my main criticism is straight Escalation itself. It's a terrible game mode that should be scrapped.
Agreed best way to go about fixing it
creating a problem that tied strictly to server stability is a big issue in the first place
Drop rates increased, targetted loot, bugs fixed. But sure, go off king. It just sounds like sour grapes.
Itās not that bad youāre over exaggerating it
I am all for the developer fixing issues, and I am grumpy about a few longstanding problems that should be addressed, however that does not preclude me from recognising effort is being spent to fix and improve. Pretending that's not happening just weakens any argument.
They are a small studio but are making better progress than destiny has in the last 3 years while being half the size
That's actually an insane statement to make. Destiny just recently fell off after dominating for 12 yrs lol
I actually think there is a lot of potential; prototype it needs work yes, but it offers people something to chase with a scaling challenge. The developer has also communicated they are working on more improvements. Two things can be true at the same time; there are issues, but there is also potential.
Theyāve been producing shit since destiny 2 came out what are we on about their consistency has been shit
They are good at one thing being inconsistent
Final shape was the best dlc since d1 if you say otherwise youāre delusional
Producing shit? Forsaken? Witch Queen? Those expansions were master pieces Idk what you're on about.
Witch Queen was far better than Final Shape.
Compared to d1 dlc? No
Probably a thing for #off-topic-discussions rather than wage a war over Destiny 1/2 in a division server, lol.
how many expansions were there between forsaken and witch queen that were almost universally disliked 
yes. moving on. lol.
anyways division 2 is in a great place rn you just gotta be patient because devs are trying to please both us and shareholders at ubi who dont have any other games left
It's kind of ironic though since Division has literally never produced compelling storytelling but please ride them lol
Rightā¦
You must not play the scouts or payed attention to the story while playing your first 40 lvls
ah yes, the old 'you must be glazing to disagree with me' argument, that's not an old chestnut at all.
Agents go rogue cause Division bad and won't tell you why.
agents go rogue because the first wave got abandoned by the jtf in the new york dark zone and those agents convince the second wave agents they know personally to follow suit
Again you didnāt pay attention to the story and thatās fine but donāt complain the
Then
I love how people says "Oh DV2 is dying" while it's more active than last year š
Nobody here even said div2 is dying
I never mention it's from this conversation
they do all the time on youtube yet they still play the game and watch yt videos and still say stuff like that smh
All I know is fragile armor bug no longer exists, which it's a good sign.
When repairing armour and it just works, I cri.
youtube the place where everyone really say how they feel cuz in here we have to behave
Words cannot describe how beautiful the fix is
I paid plenty attention. You're actually gonna tell me you're cool with keener just not being dead cause he hacked Isac to fool us even though we're face to face with him and defeated him in combat? Now all of a sudden kelso is undercover with him, and Parnell back on our side after another "faking their death right before our eyes" I'm sorry, I love this game for the gameplay. It's fun, but storytelling? It's all over the place.
Keener as well "You have no idea, what's coming...." 8 yrs later, nothing has come. Riveting tales there...
It hasnāt been 8 years in the storyā¦
I'm exiting this convo lol yall have a good night.
Welp, 1 hour and 5 minutes before reset
at this point most ppl play for the game esp if they havent played div1 before div2 so i wouldnt really stress so much bout it unless you wanna go watch NGN stories on division cause that's a good channel to watch imo
imma take a nap.
As a newer division 2 player, is there a good YT story recap? Would love to rinse the whole story since the game is awesome ā¤ļø
Is that what Skeith was talking about with NGN?
Yes
Awesome! I'll check that out tomorrow while I grind out some gear for my 5th healer build C:
I thought he said he was done with this convo but I keep seeing them type :V
šš
Well I was gonna respond to Skieth but figured I'd just start a whole other thing so went back on it.
Ah.
So I'm a huge healer buff. Got a bittersweet sniper hybrid build, future initiative, refactor, and I just put together Rogue Golds suggested Measured Assembly.
But I'm really excited about the Cadeceus getting added to the game, might get to make another hybrid build !
Curious to see if they change how the weapon works at all
They would have to, right? It used to be a percentage of skill power, but now it's skill tiers.
I'm betting it either works off of repair skill, or kind of like Empathic Resolve where it scales based on current skill tier.
most likely just going to be heals scaling on repair skill
I hope it scales off Skill Tier, because a hybrid build with Cadeceus, Empathic Resolve (which would proc on every crit from Cad) I feel like could go hard
A Striker healer build? Lmao
i been waiting for a scar exotic, glad the cadeceus coming back
i used it with no build in mind during D1š
I got every build I needed except deflector shield
I just love healing. When I found bittersweet, I was so happy Rogue Gold made a build that helped me make my first healer build that doesn't hit like a wet noodle.
Having a second weapon where I could make a non headshot build for dps healing will be awesome !!!
gotta get myself a bittersweet, never ran a healing build and curious
It's kind of nuts. The dps is the best among healing builds (it's only 3.5m at peak, but future initiative and measured assembly is under 1m)
The idea is you land headshots and when a teammate gets their armor popped, you just charge up 2-3 shots and pop them to heal them and give bonus armor.
damnn, how about solo?
You run Future Initiative with red on it, ninja bike, and add a couple named Zwiadoka pieces, it's super funny how good it slaps and feels on Heroic and Legendary content.
Uhhhh solo it's pretty rough. Not sure I could recommend :// most healer builds are wet noodles solo
But I will say, it is my solo build, you can shoot your own hive to proc the bonus effect of bittersweet to get more damage out
Solo healer build kinda would be refractor
OH TRUE
More of a skill build that helps your sustain though
LMAO I FORGOT ABOUT REFACTOR, I have that one too, but I perfected it first, it got overplayed so I wanna find other builds
Thereās definitely other better builds for team play that heal and amp damage thatās more of a solo build
Imo
I got new build with refactor soon, but I'm missing the backpack
As a dedicated healer player, Refactor was doing its best when my clan mates didn't have their full damage builds.
Now that they're geared, we do best when I'm on my pure Future Initiative, and they really like the Measured Assembly build. Those two rock everywhere no issue.
I just wanted Bittersweet to work for floor 100 of summit, it's skill-less healing, and the Cadeceus has me excited for another means of more consistent, skill-less healing. I can use more offensive skills
you should be able to get the blueprint for bittersweet to craft by eliminating kill squads during Cleaners Retaliaions in New York
imma prob stick my dps build thenši do play with others but i run solo a lot more
Yea it helps with damage and light sustain probably better for heroic and lower gameplay but mid to high escal or legendary FI and Measure assembly are better
Please know you're doing God's work for me, by allowing me to hit like a wet paper towel š«”
yea i know, i just been opening the ny cache. lowkey dont wanna do any NY CP
working mainly BT retaliation to get the last raid weapon iām missing š
nvm 2 i donāt have the regulusš«©
you can get the Bittersweet exotic doing countdown but it might be bit of farming with the target loot on rifle but hey u may get lucky nvr know tho
thatās true, im doing it here and there since i gotta max out my library/ get expertise
Bittersweet is stupid fun.
I like riot foam and restore hive with it
few more days until the anniversary, i should prob lowkey start getting the new scar exotic max proficiency
New Scar Exotic?
cadeceus
Oh! You mean like, leveling the proficiency in the expertise menu
I thought you already had it XD
That's a really smart idea. I should that >:3
yea, assuming itās not gonna be hard to unlock hopefully. having it already maxed proficiency would be easy
I don't think it'll be hard. Probably some kind of content loop to snag it. Or they'll just dump it into the Retal loot pool xD lol
do all my tokens reset when the time reminding finishes?
So Iām seeing a few guns on the expertise leveling list that I donāt have the archivest, caduceus, the headline grabber and whiplash ⦠have they been added to the game or is this a future drop
caduceus is added in a future update
Archivist and headline grabber are from the new classified assignments, caduceus probably from the upcoming brooklyn anniv event, whiplash iirc is the manhunt reward
@celest maple @brazen elm thanks so much
Are the two guns from the classified events worth it ?
I didnāt purchase them and wasnāt sure if I was even gonna bother
Probably not tbh
whiplash talent has been shown, caduceus is a div1 gun so we know what it does but they'll change it for div2
i feel like they could port it as is and just change how the heal scaling works
caduceus either be tied to skill tier or skill repair
not worth buying the classified missions, but theyre worth buying because of how cool they are
the guns are a bonus on top of a neat little self contained story with an overarching antagonist
thatās what they did with big alejandro, barely much of a chance but obv this new exotic is different
I have been trying to defeat general ridgeway without using armor kit twice now but that mission is not getting completed
ugh, 20 minutes until target loot change
i cant finish anything in that time
Yes i defeated him wihtout any issue, without single armor but the mission is not getting comepleted
Does fixer drone count as armor kit?
are you playing the right difficulty
Challenging
thatās odd, ubi and their bugs
Does heartbreaker build count as using armor kit or something?
ngl idk that build but maybe go in with a only tank or dps build. i know theres talent that fixes armors when popped
have changed to striker
is the field research active?
sounds like it should be obvious but itās an easy thing to forget
Yes
Any1 know what todayās targeted loot is for each escalation mission?
8 minutes
Same time every day.
Just check the š pinned-message in here slightly after to see it.
idk then unfortunately but Iāve had it happen to me with other objectives not registering, usually fixed upon trying again though
just speedrun the mission on normal or hard
From the wording of the Research, I would assume you can't use one the entire mission.
Make sure you're also starting from the very start, as-in: hosting it yourself.
And yep, normal or higher is fine.
Iāve read that itās fine as long as you donāt use an armor kit in the last area but yea it seems like a safer bet to just go the whole mission without
Div rarely is that specific with stuff, I'd just make sure you give yourself the best chance possible.
Oh and for when you get that done, the next field research step: use Oxidiser on Basilisk. You'll thank me later.
what was the basilisk objective again?
oh yea, breaking all his armor and then killing him, I remembered as I asked
ready to be disappointed again
I used what seemed to be a glitch with his AI pathing and it worked wonders
just went and stood in a specific spot near the entrance to that area, he glitches out and just doesnāt move, still works
then popped each armor piece individually with a sniper rifle
Tipping Scales in Federal
grupo/wyvern/hardwired/gila/tipping
Tipping Scales is very much not "meh".
although it being in FEB is....I'd not right now.
people will farm it even if it's on Darpa
darpa is so bad idk how
It's long with relatively few spawns.
Density + speed is the ideal combo for an Escal mission. And the off-site missions are all a bit too long for my taste.
I would only go to DARPA to farm Lefty but I got one from the theater vendor like last week so I didnāt even need to do that
Hey All, hope everyone is having a great day, any news about the division 2 having crossplay?
within this year
within this year apparently, nothing else
it wasnāt the best statistically but it had DTOC so I can just optimize
I sure hope so, thx for the info š
same, I have PC friends who are noobs I wanna help out
I love when noobs autocorrects to certain feminine appendages
I could technically do with some Wyvern and Grupo pieces, but getting better copies of Scales might be the best idea.
not really ideal farming those since you need specific rolls and not alot of people are farming those anyways unless you LFG
Not ideal but I'll have to get a team together.
Is there anything new in the shop today?
weekly reset is tomorrow
Oh yeah I forgot
I thought it was Tuesday for a second š„²
Nobody wants to host escalation matches anymore
please do not fast forward to Tuesday because Monday is my first day off
Because striker isnāt in rotation
they have no incentive to do so, and until that changes you canāt blame them
i think the new event pass starts on Thursday this week too
host loses everything if shart goes sideways, guests lose nothing
But nobody hosts nobody will play
Escalation is due to many rebalancing tbh they're probably thinking about that already
huh, the new classified assignment was cool.
It all started when people started advising everyone not to host games
The escalation requisitions has been a pretty sweet deal
Huh, tipping scales. cool.
it's either everyone pays tokens or host gets much more tokens
you can get lefty from darpa ? i randomly got it off countdown i think š
ye it has increased drop chance at DARPA, much like stage left at district union
didnāt even know, if i knew i wouldāve done that
yeah there's alot of named items specific drops in certain missions
Hello Nice to meet you
Guess where coyote mask drops
Escalation vendor caches are same as yesterday?
should be the union right
Jefferson
nah, JTC
š
the last boss in that mission is also the same name lol
i donāt really pay attention to bosses name like that
enemies= me shoot
been a while since I did FEB
lucky for me i get lots of coyote mask from exotic caches š
do coyoteās mask buffs stack if multiple members wear it or is it only one?
the different buffs stack
understandable
@feral knollhow much tokens u got
TIPPING SCALE
No
using tipping scales to farm tipping scales, balanced as all things should be.
not many boss, running teir 1 because ya boi broke.
YESSSSSS TIPPING SCALES FINALLY OMG
My DPS build gonna get a severe upgrade tonight
Got the mission completeld with striker build finaly after 3 try
Is it though tipping scales isnāt great in high tier escal
i should really get into the escal hype, havenāt even tried it yet lol
donāt it sucks 
I disagree haha with a competent healer it slaps
You lose stacks way too fast
Is Ubi down ?
it's harder to maintaIn
yes
Was this the answer to my question ?
I mean if you really want to farm prototypes go ahead but the way the system is currently implemented is horrendous
same lmao
mhm, i just been grinding to get expertise 30 since im far behind and escal looks cool but heavily flawed
nah but it shouldnāt be down tho
no, severs are fine - restart game if you need to to reconnet.
Glad it's bunker too. Great one to farm. I guess I'm running healer tonight haha try get in some T10s with big bois
very
āwhatās true and what is arenāt always the sameā - quote by another famous Ubisoft character
this might scream jealousy proto shouldnāt be given out all willy nilly. i shouldnāt be seeing a shd lvl under 100 having a almost all proto gear
nah thatās generally agreed upon
good luck! I'm rocking Tier 1 like a hobo.
itās basically a big screw you to the players who put the work in
what is this, complainers anon this evening? lol.
Tbf unless itās maxed out or high rolls wonāt make that big of a difference but I do agree
š T5 is the best for farming with an inexperienced(ish) team
Like Iām shd 1300 rn and half like 3 pieces half maxed rolls some closer than others but only bumped up my dps by like 100 to 200k max
you know itās possible to enjoy a game and not genitalia-ride every bad decision the company working on it makes right
i seen players who isnāt lvl 1000 or maxed expertise complain their experience now ruined cause they feel OP and doing mission outside of escal is too easy
tipping scales is ok?
Interesting.
I can see that
itās great for LMG runners
nice then
oh boy, big al putting in some work right now.
t6+ should be locked to shd 500 or something but otherwise i dont really care much for newbies getting protos
Itās meh stacks drop too fast
I heard someone say recently that new DLC is gonna be quite hard and potentially incr. max to lvl50?
I doubt it
who said thatš
what no
doubt it
we didn't even get a level increase with Brooklyn
Meta TS only needs 50 stacks so not hard to get em' back
That would affect the shd lvl and a bunch of other things
(optimal DPS is Equalizer, not TS chest)
Shd level 40 joined escalation š„
a level increase would probably be controversial
Would have to farm new gear that would be lvl 50
it would also make the prototype system redundant as now youāre able to get weapons and gear with, you guessed, higher stats
a system thatās already heavily flawed and serves no purpose being made redundant would be funny though
lvl 40 is the sweet spot
having fun rng gambling element augment eh?
they should just double the shd attribute caps lmfao
gambling is what makes the game fun š
another watch
always wanted to see rogue watch type system added with its own attributes
players should at least unlock tier not be able to jump in an higher tier than what they played
please god donāt
Iām more than halfway to max I donāt want it reduced to a little over 1/4 
that's what the token system is for on paper but in practice there's nothing stopping newbies from getting carried in a t10
Skill issue LMFAO
Take away token entry and make people go through each individual tier before unlocking the next IMO
Thatās already how it is no?
SEASONAL WATCH FROM DIV 2 CHINA
yep its a major pain most groups are now trying to run on private and just invite their friends or play w ppl in clans that know what they're doing
Token cost is heavy IMO; and nah I cleared T10 before I'd cleared T6 lol
Oh yikes thatās gross
good idea heavily flawed. newbies can join risking nothingš
Another issue is not being able to kick people.....
would be nice if each member put tokens in before starting a escal or thatās how it is already ?
I'm usually willing to give people the benefit of the doubt but some people are just not equipped for T5 or even T1 lol I want someone gooood
nope only team leader stakes tokens, but all team members earn tokens as a reward...
remove bet system or make same reward as leader
T1 is slightly above legendary and majority havenāt touched that
I'm not sure about that. I would equate T5 with Legendary
either host gets more tokens or everyone pays
T1 is heroic difficulty no?
damn so itās heroic till T5, thatās crazy most isnāt well equipped
can't really compare legendary to escalation since legendary has different enemies
t0 is heroic
tbh they aren't really comparable
Legendary is a whole different kettle of fish. AI runs the enemies in Leg and those mfers improvies adapt and overcome
yep this game is for Mature 17+ and older not a children's game so ppl should be able to handle getting kicked
Escalation is always predictable
first run, no proto, sadness, ah well. can run it a few more times.
What's ur SHD level and build?
neither affect RNG, lol.
I was asking bc it'd be good to know before recommending an appropriate tier to LFG for
Running on T5?
Because u said u were doing T1 right?
tier 2 now, I have very few tokens and running solo at present.
Oh, makes sense
Okay that's issue #1. In a team you are significantly more likely to get proto drops because enemy density scales up with increased team size.
yep I get that, I should probably matchmake but anyway
Is there an LFG system on whatever platform u use?
xbox makes it nice and easy to find a team
I'm on PC bro, its fine; also middle of firefight not best time to be asking 20 questions lol
Yeah no idea how people LFG on PC sorry haha
discord

ive seen ppl team up on twitch too so there's always that
imagine if there was some sort of channel to lfg
dang tipping scale, i alerady have it. other than that is there something good?
what is the best expertise proficiency guide currently?
there isnt one, justb donate junk and use stuff
i guess its time to start making one then for fun
hi all at work atm any good loot escaltion missions
got 3 full sets heart and strikers atm and loads of ar but im greedy want it all
shd lvl 998
nice im 38k i havent seen the sun or grass for yrs lol
thats nothing i matchmaked with people over 100k all legit i bet
nice almost shd 1000
oof that's high i remember joining when the highest i saw was 30k bet they over 200k now or som im only shd 18k as of yesterday
nice
wow
well, that's a tier 2 done, I should probably matchmake, but whatever, maybe later.
tbh from kenly college days farming lvls before patch after xp events came out it prob is
haha two days in a row I've pasted loot here instead of my discord. smh
nice, first group escalation, jeez it's chaotic
good thing Im running with my friends, it's a lot faster.
tier 4 time, scared.
This game can sense what you need, and decline giving it to you. I swear. It's psychological terror.
The one time I need Amalgam, I roll 6 different pieces 5 times each, I don't get it a single time.
How do u know when echo procs?
I've only got 4ish% but never seem to notice it proc
Itās a white damage proc
hmm ok ty
Hope I can get all the TS pieces I need tonight >.<
Don't even care about the augment. Just need red core chc/chd
nice 8 solo t5 bunker zero purple beams love it 100 more to go
run with a team >.<
Solo has less enemies and less chances for drops
Enemy density scales up with increasing team size. More enemies, more kills, more chances at a drop
What skills should i use if i'm going to the dark zone
Pulse is pretty common
Regen bighorn headshot
I don't have the big hornet so that's what i'm trying to get in the dark zone if i can get it in the dark zone
Black tusk Retaliations
I got every blueprint from black tusk kill squads and Black tusk retaliation rewards yesterday. Didnt take me too long tbh, the only issue i had was farming a specific material.
Or you can do countdown up to the 10th floor, change the game difficylty to whatevers the hardest, set your focus to ars and then kill the named boss but do not proceed passed the 10th floor, go back to the main floor and repeat the process till you get bighorn
Easier to farm in legendary summit or as he said retaliation
Mb yeah i meant to say summit not countdown
Dark zones is like a 0.0025% drop chance. Anything but darkzones would be worth farming it in
Are there any raid exclusive items that warrant doing raids? Seems like most of them are in retaliation loot pool rn.
Honestly im not too sure, i havent done any raids due to the fact that when i tried to do it through ingame matchmaking before joining here it was a massive unsuccessful mess
Maybe theres some exclusive high end gear or sumn idk
Regulus is raid only
Good for pistol headhunter builds
im the only one who cant connect to the servers?
Praise the stars actual usable prototype tipping scales
Finally getting that chd and chc
ā¤ļø
God I can't wait to get home and upgrade from my standard set haha
I have two questions regarding escalation, maybe I missed some info, maybe someone here knows for sure...
- Is there an official description for the proto augments that clarifies i.e. whether Echo also applies to bullets from drone/turret skills (same for Amalgam), if "Anomaly" refers to health healing or armor repair and so on.
- Does augment leveling scale with Escalation tier level? Does it scale to kills (i.e. is running solo on lower tiers better for leveling augments)?
For 2, the scaling is based on XP. The higher the level, the more XP required as opposed to the last.
Only missing kneepads now
server down?
woo, nice few runs, a couple workable TS protos, nice nice.
love that for you (unironically)
Are there proto gear mods? I was running pathway park yesterday and not a single one dropped, other random proto was dropping.
No, it's a known thing. Mods drop same as standard missions. Dev team are aware, though I don't know if there is a current plan.
Devs really need to get their shit together
To be fair mods work fine for non-escalation missions so it's a bit of an edge case to solve.
Skill damage/ healing is separate to weapon damage and gear healing, so the first one would not be a consideraiton.
if there is a server shutdown notification, outside of maintainace just log out, wait about 30 seconds, then log back in.
"good" as in "makes these builds hilariously overpowered"
Wow only took 15 drops to complete the set
Have they even acknowledged the leader/token disparity when it comes to escalation? is there any hope of an overhaul coming?
I'll probably keep using contractor's tho
It's likely on the radar, they will have had a ton of feedback on it. Just because the developer hasn't said anything does not mean they are not aware.
you dont got overdogs or using diff exotic
only time im not using overdogs is when im using the equalizer and salvo
but i got echo on my equalizer and salvo so thats why too lol
Yes
Beerzi has said they're looking into it
Just jumping into Escalation today as I see they got Tipping Scales up, Could anybody recommend the best Tiers to farm? Just looking for the comfiest range
Tier 4/5 is not terrible in a group
that depends entirely on you and what gear you already have.
tier 5 you can easily do it on normal gear, and it drops so frequently its a cores farm
but federal bunker is one of the easier missions, as long as you know where to stand and don't get suicide bombed.
Expertise 30 Striker Overdogs, Iāll probably just go until they start feeling like Div 1 LMB š
Having food then about to matchmake for tier 5. Scared.
T5 isn't too hard. T6+, hot foot makes it miserable
I hope not, last thing you want is to do escalation matchmaking and get paired up with a bunch of scrubs that die constantly leaving you the only one alive only to die and have your tokens get taxedā¦.
Is joining host like a free taxi or are you taxed as well?
Christmas came early bros. TS is back
I had a great session earlier. I mean sure if everything is terrible and you are angry at the world, it's not gonna be fun, but that's a mindset more than anything.
Joining a game doesnāt use your tokens
Your outlook tends to change once you've been on a botched tier 10 run as a leader
will be interesting to see what that resolves
I think I've gotten every single combination for investor except for all red
Or when agent rambo decides he wants to use blue strikers on tier 8
ah hell yeah who up tipping they scales right now
Sure. But I am currently not doing that because I know I'd be a weak link without more experience. Weirdly not everyone is a jerk. @undone timber
Lets get it. TS lads
TS is overrated
Agree tbh, takes way too long to stack and drops way too fast
whispers to TS they dont get it babe
Get you a man/woman that looks at you like TS looks at you.
TS drops way too fast cuz u not shooting lol
You're gonna have to stop eventually if you're not running burger king
The Lonestar approach: be the bullet hose
Novel idea⦠guess you never have to reload or use skills or change positions ever
No point in t4 same drop rate as t3
Mmmmm burger King.
Also this
som ppl TS must be buggy out or som cuz mine not slow stacking smh
Sitting in one spot for 10+ seconds straight is a lil bit bold
u dont gotta sit to make that work
With chest as well and look how quickly you lose stacks compared to striker
You can move while shooting from cover if it's not a tiny box. But yes it decays too fast imo. It builds fine with an LMG.
whispers to TS babe, let's go farm more of you today. They can argue amongst themselves
TSā¦. Do anything other than constantly shoot, 0 damage. LOL
lmao TS good striker good etc lots of builds are just cuz ppl dont like them dont mean it dont work thats just a skill issue tbh
Speaking of, back to farming.
Never said itās bad just not as good as striker due to maintaining stacks is harder
yall be paying way too much attention to whats stacking and whats not to just enjoy a build and see how it really works smh
Put it together already and took it for a spin, didn't like it at all
Never ever hosting t10 again
Bro noo
Getting delta after paying token is gonna be the death of me
thats you nothing wrong with not liking it ya know
How many tokens do you lose at t10
But he said he didnāt like it not that it was bad
I simply said itās overrated
You spend iirc 94
Shiiiiit
Should've spent on cache
oof. yall stress too much. breathe
Thats like a whole days worth of farming
Maybe I'd get something good
Because 99% of the time youāre never at max output capability, plenty of other builds hit that faster and without stacking
The other day i spent for tier 9 tokens and it went delta
If you die, you will start paying rent at the White House and be in debt.
WHAT?
I completely forgot I changed my name here
thats too bad cuz the white house already is oh wait thats.. nm
wtf is with people joining and then leaving after locking in the escalation?
"You fool. You spent your tokens on a Tier myeheheh" - John That Guy
That actually happened to me the other day. I misclicked, typed in chat "oops guys. Wrong tier " they all left lol
so now I have a stuck mission, suppose I just have to run it until I die.
nah matchmaking is locked; so I would not expect to be able to invite people.
it works in other situations where matchmaking doesn't (eg boss fights)
I just relogged; tokens will get eaten, will try again.
Worst agent ever
I did get myself some nice tipping scale but grind aint stopping here
so I can't call for backup, so that's cool.
Rouge (the colour) Agent
i joined a group that kept running theirs on heroic after the 3rd try i left two were low low shd i think they're prob still trying to figure it out to this day honestly lol the fourth person who kept joining kept leaving at the end they were big mad it was not on tier 0 smh
I definitely would have at least tried to push on through, might have gotten a couple more proto drops before wiping, and of course group scaling means enemies will be fewer and easier than they are in a 4-stack
yeah it was still there when I relogged, I'll see how far I get.
Some people are manipulative, they know I want tier 8 for example, but they matchmake for it just to have people helping him in a lower tier.
I am looking to start to trying to play and understand Escalation today. Any pointers? Types of builds to start out with in matchmaking (dps, healing, tank, etc.)?
what the hell? it's now tier 0. lol what even.
Even rogue agent has one goal in their mind : "Exterminate"
While people who abandoned the match during escalation is nothing but scum.
Striker. No other build works
Build diversity the game
Damn, did u get one?
Slow and safe better than rushing
just saw ur name
I haven't been on Div 2 pretty much all week ngl
I got bamboozled
whispers to TS you're still top tier to me babe
escalation is either 3 dps 1 healer or 4 dps
well, since the game has derped out to teir 0, might as well die as there's no tokens to lose and nothing is going to drop.
tanks...
Bro is walking away from the slot machine
Reject healers, bring just a few Birdie quick fix and gg.
there is no slot machine at teir 0.
federal emergency bunker is bug nice!
The foolish gambler ends on a loss
cya tokens
It's always 50/50 smh
I left whenever I saw one player with full blue core š
I aint carrying dead weights
Happy ending: ring a ding ding baby!
if i see a healer im leaving either we all dps or im gone js lol
I should give Striker another whack. Although, I love Tipping Scales too much
If I see a healer I am oddly happy, means I can be more brazen
I could never get Striker to feel right to me as well...I felt this
I once saw a full blue and I convinced him to use a red striker saying that: red cores have a 1,1x multiplier to increase proto drop, and he believed it 
TS is love, TS is life.
When is battle for brooklyn anniversary day?
21st-ish, I think
If I see a SysCor build in escalation, im giving bro a hug because he is playing the wrong game mode
Establish dominance on a Hyena by using a build meant for an entirely different game mode
He is trying to corrupt the drop chance
I like having tempest as pistol and firing into the air to build stacks when waiting for boss to spaw n & shi
im not a babysit the timer type ya know, honestly the player that should pay the tokens the ones being carried imo sitting with a healer build or not cuz that just too much time wasting again imo
Never thought about doing that. Bro gives good tips.... get it because its called tipping scales
Ok ill shut up now
if players got payed tokens for carrrying ppl they be running those groups all day long
Do you know if you have access to the new classified mission if you bought the season pass, or if you have to buy them separately. Also do all party members need it or just the host.
Problem is I gotta farm a tempest now
imo healers are essential in T10s
Separately for now. All people in your group need to purchase
Im assuming way down the line they'll be part of a bundle and be considerably cheaper buying it that way
Oh wait I misunderstood your question
maybe if healer putting in dps too otherwise useless
the season pass bundle includes the two new classified missions but the regular season pass does not
I rather have my healers concentrate on healing and CC with scorpio or w/e. We have enough DPS with 3 players.
Everyone should have that specific assignment bought, at least with the year 1 ones, not sure if the new ones follow the same rule.
Random MM T10s is a gamble, having a healer allows so much more mistakes and misplays to happen
Healer with smart cover, opportunitic and the FI will increase damage to the team a ton
Guys hear me out, remember the endorsement projects events that give 10 exotic components per endorsement level, they should bring those projects back so we have a chance to Prototype our own gear for a while.
Last thing I need is my healer getting downed.
Sorry for stupid question, but I should be able to run escalation 0 with a well worn refractor build solo, right?
T0 escalation is like heroic you'd be fine.
Any tier below that one that gives EMP pulse to enemies.
Start a t0 then slowly build up broski
if they have to concentrate on healing its a problem when they go down then rest of team gets wiped bc they were relying on the healing, you wanna practice enough to get better each time without a healer otherwise its hard to progress or learn to do else but its difference in opinion when depends on the experience the team has so its has pros and cons
You literally cannot expect a coordinated team in T10 matchmaking.
I've always been the healer/revive guy in my clan and I'm done waiting on everyone else to get on and/or comfortable with moving to more difficult content. Figured this would be a safe place to ask questions so I thank you all!
in midtiers there's a difference between relying on healing because you rushed and using the healing to skip waiting for health gate to come back
exactly so why would you depend on a healer in that case..
and when it comes down to it, babysitting the timer when ppl being carried its a big no
Which goes back to my point it allows a lot more mistakes to happen compared to having 4 DPS?
Sure if you're a 4 stack with proper comms 4 DPS is fine. Matchmaking? Yeah no. They'd wipe in the first few rooms.
Thank you!
Mind manipulation is the best weapon
Perks of being an anti-hero person 
im gon start doin this
they'll believe me im 18k shd heck yea
Well time to make some brekkie mates. Gotta get my gamer ā¢ļø fuel for later
(I live on coffee, monster and chicken tendies)
long u get that protein in
Soon you will also live on Lisinopril and Losartan, mark my words. 
Finally reached expertise 30. Upgraded my first item to prototype. One attribute remained the god roll level (which is the bottom of protoā¦) but the other went god roll. And it did give me the echo augment. Itās a skill prototype chest piece but fair enough. The chest piece was level 25 prior. It is so expensive to get to 30 tho
i havent open my apparel caches with 99+ keys in over two years, wondering if its just gon be 99 keys or what i havent open up in 2yrs lol will give it 30mins finding out
I think it does go to 99+
Youāll open one and see it remain at 99+ for ages
enjoy opening caches for the next few hours only for the number to never change
And you have to enjoy the sound blast and animation each time
idk bout doing it for few hours but i'll give 30mins lol
Btw back to my comment. This game has taken away the fun and generosity of donating exotics to other players now that we need every exotic component to upgrade stuff
lol i'll mute it
Or just Speedrun it with [], options, options, š½ , apparel and open cache.
i'll try believe me i'll try
Forgive me but thereās not a single screen called options? And Iām tryna take your advice!
I just open enough each week to get 950 textiles for Danny weaver so I can get his dye caches
It's the PS4/5 options button š
zehahaha
Garrus in character when joking around. Bro is locked in
What I said basically was, open the cache after holding square, exit the menu entirely with options buttons, open menu again, go to apparel, open cache and repeat.
It's a faster method without the šø
oh yea dont forget to get that guy a beer
And they used to cost twice as much, crazy
6 levels behind ya, I will get it someday
Oh so quitting out still has the cache open? The music is still playing haha but obviously I can mute it
Love that they always overtune stuff and have to bring it down when everyone is like wtf
Good job mate. You'll have more control of what max stats you get now
I was trash build spam mm heroic missions constantly
Im still at a modest 26 exp myself. Someday
it's still lots of grinding which even I couldn't pull it off.
Not today, not this year because I'll be playing gta 6 and leaving div 2 behind for 3 months lol
Yeah for sure. God rolls arenāt too hard to come by with regular high end items. Be glad to be done with piss drops from escalation
Oh absolutely. I did also spend a shit ton of resources making items close proficient
You get the cache content (regardless if it's a new outfit or textiles) once the circle hold square is complete, the song and animation are obviously just presentation.
Alright, good nap and time to dig a hole for Bob
The lil jingle should be my alarm for the mornings because how annoying it is
I filled that collection years ago. So itās just the textiles I use for the vendor with all the juicy caches
Dun dun dooo dooo dun dunnn
Time for work!
See ya broski
believe it or not i can still hear it with the sound on muted š
And the yellow one, bam bam bam bam bam 
I love how the yellow one is more lively and exciting, devs probably thought "yeah this should give them a dopamine hit"
hi newbie question here , praticing playing heroic , i usually use shield and assault drone which skill i change so i can get better quick ?
Warzone also used to do that, orange crate always used to give a
šø
When you open it.
okay im stopping not even going for 30mins im not dreaming about open them again like i did when i first started playing no ty
do you own the WoNY DLC?
Second item upgraded to prototype. One went god roll, the other didnāt move an inch. Stayed previous max roll. Hmm
Those aren't bad choices, just don't facetank with the shield, instead use it like another layer of armor that just regens fast
Drone is good for taking aggro off of you, but the decoy from the WoNY DLC is much better at that
Reviver hive to revive yourself obviously and you can keep the shield.
ah my bad i have WONY not the lasted (edited)
I would say. decoy and sticky EMP if you have WoNY, demolisher firefly and jammer pulse if you don't have WoNY
It's worth it but you can wait for a sale if you want
Three skills are locked behind WONY DLC.
I wonder if skills will ever become prototype optional
is the server restarting
I thought there's 4 but i forgot the 4th one
ah so from my conclusion esp playing solo shield kinda needed ?
Nah
Not necessarily, if you use LMGs you obviously can't use shields, and in escalation shields break too fast
4 variants but are only 3 skills. You also need the WONY base Skill to get the season manhunt ones (EMP stick, healer trap, sharpnel trap).
I forgot about the trap
ill be honest right now i kinda rely on shield too much
Does anybody know what the escalations are for today
pins
I ran escalation last night for the hunter gear set. Was running heroic just running into every enemy spawn spot hammering shotguns. The health bonus was helpful but you just kill bosses instantly too
Yeah but what's today's escalation gear cuz it changes daily not weekly
I havenāt tried the set in an escalation yet. But the idea was potentially try tinkerer with a streamline weapon and a close and personal talent
i hope the devs come up with new skills (proto) or even just new ones to get like we did for manhunt missions that'd be real cool if they do som like that
it updates every reset
It's updated, discord doesn't show the message like edited today but it's updated.
Oh I know. Gear sets today are tipping scales and hard wired
If you do lmgs with tinker I do recommend gr9 with frenzy and the echo augment if proto and yes get a streamline or whatever else you want on it
wait i didnt see hard wired brb later
Guess it's time to grind better tipping scales
Yeah thatās in the fed bunker so not too bad
Ah I grinded my tipping scales in history museum last week got full set in one run
For sure. Not with the hunter tho cuz that buffs shotgun and SMG
Let's show the outcast why we called that place emergency with our LMGs 
Also at one point tinkerer didn't work with prototype weapons and now it works btw if yall already didn't know
I joined some randoms escalation. He bumped it to 10 and I got near god rolled Contractor Gloves
Brooo lucky I'm trying to get groll contractors
I do love it. The damage armor is god rolled. But the weapon damage is 21.3% so pretty close
Nice
Oh and the crit chance was 8.4%
Nicee
Exodus and Overdogs laughing at the corner.
I tried to shoot for echo but it robbed me blind of my components and left me with paradox
Yeah echo seems to be the best augment with the proto gear
Tbf when paradox kicks in it feels like magic
that's def better than mine cuz i got armor on mine smh choices were poorly made but in my defense i wanted my 1mil armor
and i got paradox for mine too
managed to get 3 pieces tipping scale with CHD/ CHC so that'll do for now. Nap time.
dont stop you on a roll
bro it's 10pm and I have work tomorrow.
Lol I accidently stayed up playing dnd and forgot I worked today but my manager changed my shift last min š
Tell your boss that we have proto tipping scales and he will understand.
im just saying dont stop lol idc if you got work go to bed if ya gotta go to bed dont come at me with bro lol jk jk
Depends on build Iād say
Tipping scales with a frenzy gr9 and tink
PM? WHERE TF YOU LIVE
He's prob in the uk
Ye echo best choice there
NO ITS 1300 in uk rn
Australia.
It 1:32 in the uk
Ah mb
If it wasn't for a couple scuffed runs, I'd probably have four pieces. It's a start at any rate.
Uk is only 6 hours ahead of central time stateside
3 not bad at all
another series of noob question did banshee pulse can destroy electronic like jammer pulse ?
Iām in Italy a hour ahead of that
Hb Belgium
nice
one more pcs then i complete my tip scale
nice
When is the next double xp event
u still farming kofe?
no he going to beddd
gn kofe
I might get up early and see if I can score a fourth piece before work; some of the drops were skill damage/ armour regen. eww, brother ew, what's that brother.
literally me during T10 just now
then i got a max wpn dmg & max chd the second i played T5
uh oh keep eye on the clock irl not the one in game
yeah I have an almost maxed backpack.
at this point i just play T5
T5 seems to have the best juice for the squeeze. I'm sure Tier 10 drops some sexy proto but f-- that.
T5 not too bad with randoms mostly imo
yeah some sexy protos (5000 skill haste 2nd attribute)
Does anyone know why I can't complete the Black Tusk Agitation daily project. It just doesn't count even though I did two bounties with different difficulties.
Ps. The bounties were started by my friend.
t5 is pretty cozy
handful of protos per run but no hotfoot
it's a vibe for sure, also less running to ammo crates.
long u dont gotta babysit the timer is all im sayin
Big Al lit up is great but it sure ploughs through ammo.
give me that prototype lone star
You have to dismiss any other active retaliations
can we still do the houndsman bounty just asking. returning player here
if you find someone who still has it and is willing to share
so if i dont have the bounty i cant do it right?
nope
How does Impertus compare to waveform
Trynna do a refractor healer build and heavily debating with dealing more damage or getting more heals
Impetus is much better
There are people who have the bounty and do runs, daily.
We done hosting escalations in 2026
Wdym handfuls? I get 1 or 2 per run
being healer is fun
is any there any people still has them
Unless the group gets scattered around and play like chickens without their heads.
Sure. Give @spiral raptor a DM and he'll get you in touch with them.
How can i read my crash files? and solve problems that keeps my game from launching
how many plate carriers or assault rifles can you hold in one hand
Does anyone know if paradox is supposed to be per shot or per pellet for shotguns?. Right now its per pellet but dont know if its intended or not.
We don't know unless they patch it
Yea that's why I dont know lol
Having alot of fun with it so I hope they dont change it
I suspect it's not intended and the fix got reverted by mistake (multiple development versions)
Just got 3 TS pieces with echo bros. Hell yeah
Just need a new bp and I'll have all echo on my TS
Was running with 3 dudes in a clan. Bros played like terminators instead of the rambos i usually get in mm
it might be genuinely undecided, other things (namely striker) work per pellet
I hope it stays that way. Hunters fury with a paradox m870 .... oh my... good shit
Don't even need pummel anymore
Im a pro pummel user. Sorry brazen bros
they balanced the max values of paradox to make it impossible to get infinite ammo (50% paradox, max you can reach is 42%) - but with shotties you can reach that at just over 1pc paradox, seems unlikely they intend that
Steady handed might actually work with shotties if they keep it that way. Straight up shotgunners from 1.3 div 1 lmao
Move over sheriff. There's a new sheriff in town
i have Pestilence, Nemesis, Scorpio, Ouroboros, Ravenous... but still no Eagle Bearer or St. Elmo. pain
Eagle bearer sucks broski. No need for it
you gotta be carefull in these parts of town.. you start callout out things like brazen and overcat gloves and you be burned at the stake..
Watch......
Overdogs are over hyped as seen on tv gloves LOL
Let him cook boys 
I run HHF with the imunity aug. facking love it HAHAHA I cant die
I mean, earlier i did say I was gonna farm TS and the striker enthusiasts came along š
whispers to TS they dont mean it, babe. The striker users aren't real they can't hurt you
2 raid exos and 1 crafted exo but not the exotic everyone wants
I do most damage at the end most of the time anyway even against striker dudes with full echo
I do what I want when I want I love when people tell me how to play my game its very funny
I think at some point youdo so much dmg in essy it goes. norm dmg number- negitive number.. backwards number... then back to reg numbers LOL
i doubt they intend to completely disable a great sustained dps augment for an entire weapon class either, they will probably test lower odds
i mean it would be stronger with ACS to just shoot the night away
they already fixed it by just making shotguns proc per shot, not per pellet, they just need to undo whatever reverted that fix
wonder if echo is working the same way
man said shoot the night away... thats great I love that
echo per pellet seems more balanced than an all pellets being echo
Pellets are technically bullets in this game so yeah
if echo is per pellet then the double damage proc would need to be based on the pellet's damage
which is fine and balanced
I mean.. its called buck shot for a reason hahah thats liek 8 bullets in 1 shell lol
i think lower chance per pellet would be better for on hit augments
Echo, paradox and that one that gives status on hit = profit!
With shotties that is
Ads better get a taste of their own medicine with this setup lol
just saw the lfg chat
If you aren't having luck with that, try "call for backup" ingame. Each time you do it, someone will basically always join you.
wont let me due to "boss"
Oh yeah the arena problem.
I've heard matchmaking can still work, but 
if you get someone to offer to help in #lfg-pc then you can still /invite them and it'll work
oh gawd even Neutral Lighting is plagued with the weird color filter
Weird colour filter?
The Mexico/early 2000s game ā¢ļø filter i think he means
That was removed yonks ago.
Yannick even showed off its removal on a stream and went "look, no mexico filter".
I think it might have been accidentally reverted in the latest patch
It happens to me but for me its the blue/Eastern Europe filter ā¢ļø makes the game feel too cold
Just started playing 4 days ago, does anyone have any suggestions on how to level up ?
I have not seen that filter come back and I played a chunk today.
Might be some setting you've got on?
Do you mean where the screen gets darker and the contrast gets messed up for some reason? Started for me about a week ago. Happens ever now and then. I restarted the pc, thought there was an issue with the gpu.
Its hard to explain but when my character is indoors and the brightness is trying to adjust but the screen just turns blue for some reason like when we were playing realism mode with those graphics settings
no, I was thinking of the yellow filter, definitely looked like that reappeared for me a couple of times in the last week
the weird color filter appears at very specific times of day for me but disappears after a few minutes
It doesnt happen often
I think they should have added the realism graphics options as normal graphic options.
When the mode was a thing.
I'm all for more game filters, but I'm sure there's a reason it wasn't game-wide.
Maybe try #1380126780152614944
Twice an in-game day from what I noticed, mostly
Jesus Iām done doing this bs prototype reroll gambling
Canāt get echo to save my life
Atomize loves me
MSV entertainmentĀ® teaching us about gambling, how cool 
Its funny cuz I get gambling ads on YouTube all the time now lmao
Boutta just make a grenade build
Imagine getting adds on youtube.
Or reels where the dude says "im putting this on rain bet"
Quantum for me mostly, rip
I get atomize and entropy. All my homies hate entropy
Trying with three Hollow Man masks for a while now
25 prototype cores is nasty
It is
It's a downward slope for sure.
Can you even get maxed out prototype gear from escalation??
Sure
Crazy
Usually not the rolls you want but you get them here and there
Is it at tier 10?
Tip of the spear + atomizer + demolitionist: our job is to blow what remains.
Yes but below too, just less often
Fahhhh
Why do we matchmake by tier and not the escalated mission we choose lol
It needs to consider both
Literally
I matchmake to farm tipping scales at federal emergency bunker and suddenly Iām in Jefferson farming some bum ass Gila guard
This isn't the LFG channel
My bad
Are they resetting the server for long?
It's just the server you're on. try relogging
There's no maintenance. Possibly your server instance restarted, you'll get redirected
thats weird, cuz its happened twice since last night
It's a common occurrence, depending on the region you're in.
You son of a gun. Arnie handshake
okay with enough skill haste oxi lasts longer than the cooldown
so you should always have a cloud active
now thats peak silly
Skill duration you mean?
Bro, wait until they bring golden bullet and Hollywood back with escalation
"Its Hollywood!"
well both
Hollywood was my favorite character in agents of mayhem. Bro was the Johnny cage in the saints row universe
anyone know how to get the birdie med bag?
Golden bullet yes.. ish.... but wth is hollycrap gonna do on a t6/7/8/9/10 ..? LOL get you killed LOL
its lit the worst GE ever. like the amouth or rock they smoked to come up with that is wild
I'm gonna try that tho
Roosevelt Island Kelso manhunt, crafting blueprint from BT Retaliations
Then you guys never tried the grenade launcher with an smg with unwavering.
It's literally, 6 grenades, get ammo, switch reload and repeat until they all dead.
I guess for science..? LOL umm lol I jsut see Daves C.'s skit.. with the white lips.. LOL
which faction?
bro theres nothing you can do in this game that we aint done yet and yeah I still stand by hollycrap is jsut that crap LOL
BT as I said lol
when i matchmake for federal emergency for prototype why do i join groups in difference missions
Escalation mm tells you in a big red message it goes by tier, not by mission
Nah, GL on Hollywood is peak IMO 
how do I figure out the tier for that
You can only mm by tier right after you hit mm
Matchmaking is per tier, not mission. The game itself tell you that.
Cross play couldnāt come soon enough, matchmaking on Xbox is roughā¦
Aye mate. Plus I wanna play with some of the dudes here. They oppress us gamers ā¢ļø by being on different platforms
Except Nintendo. All my homies hate nintendo
Garrus from Mass effect and Shrek from Shrek. Goat duo 
Bt stands for black tusk
Or stands for BT-7274... sorry, Wrong game.
That ending bro. Broke my heart
Ok, I just got my hands on a few protos and I just realized...
You can't recal/optimize?
or am I mistaken
That's correct
holy endgame grind I can see now why people are 10000+ SHD level š„
You can only change the augment, not for free of course, happy gambling
You roll the dice if your item drops, you roll the dice if the item drops as proto, you roll the dice if multiple stats get maxed out - but you can change the augment š¬
"17 BLACK LET IT RIDE"
Holy airball ok Imma just go back to focusing on that SHD level grind
"Hold on gonna put this on rainbet"
Proceeds to get entropy. Damn it
Ik this isnāt the place but if anyone needs teamwork commendations lmkā¦we need 1
For what it's worth - the only thing that really benefits from well rolled proto gear are higher tier escalations themselves. Proto bonuses are even disabled in raids and with a well built and optimized setup you already won't have problems with any non-escalation content.
I just do a few low tier solo escalations every now and again to rack up a few tokens and gamble them on the occasional caches, when something I want is on sale
Id help buddy cuz I need the brooklyn ones but food trucks are in the neighbourhood. Sorry boss the shrek needs his pierogi
What's the best way to get the eagle bearer. Been really bad with rng for that gun for years. Dz or escalation for BP? Or raid? I'm usually solo so dz or escalation would be the best option for me. Is there a site where it would show location drops and percentages?
black tusk retaliation drops the blueprint
Ok so that's the best option and better than farming dz?
Any advice on what build to go if I usually play solo and wants to do Escalation? I'm currently running Tipping Scales with Equalizer and Pestilence. But at T2 and above, its a little difficult
Getting it on DZ is like lottery, and on raids we need to interact with people. (I'm introvert)
just get the blueprint on retaliation, it's easier.
I literally started playing again once that event ended where it would drop on caches š
Ok ty
Oh, BT retaliations
Ty
BT Retals have a 50% chance to drop one out of 5 blueprints, one of which is Eagle Bearer, it's fairly quick. DZ can take thousands of hours
i would farm the invaded dark zone to level up the black tusk retalation then do the retalation and then back to invaded dz to level up black tusks aggression again
Is the bp drop for it high?
Oh wow didn't think that would add to bt retaliation by doing dz invasion..
can someone push with me in DZ to lv 40 ? i am now 30
yea you fight only bt in the invaded dz's
which if im not mistaken is quite quick to make them quite angry unless im wrong on that
I forgot is there a daily invasion in dzs. It's been a while.
they mix between the 3 dz's i think let me check on that
I hope these cashe key drop events come back soon I heard people got so many good exotics from it.
i can let you know the current invaded dz just gimme a min to load up div 2
Thanks!
I think you should do a landmark and test it, I would do it but I'm without plus.
outside of special events they usually happen at the end of a season, called stretchgoals
DZ east is the invaded DZ currently
I remember before I took a break from this game almost a year ago I did the raid like 10 times and never got the eagle lol.
Ok great ty. Gonna try it when I get home..
You did on normal right... Right??
i never did the raid i got the eagle from christmas event crate
Ya I did the version where it drops lol. I just have really bad rng
Nice. I can't believe I missed it. If I knew that was going on I would've downloaded the game again and tried it.
That gun and the Lexington. I don't have either of those
As a introvert I love that, getting raid weapon without having to talk or interact with other players telling you about Wiillian, Morozova, Valve, DPS, Razorback š
I'm also trying to get those exotic gloves underdogs. Did retaliation multiple times and countdown and summit. Those gloves don't drop š
Eagle Bearer, Bighorn, Ouroboros and Ravenous are all from Blacktusk Retals now, so not hard to get solo
bruh, feb is so buggy rn
Nice I'm gonna try to farm it when I get home. Let's just hope my rng is good today.
Top 2 items rn I'm trying to get is eagle and underdog gloves
Overdogs took me a few Hyena retals too, but was quite quick. Of course I found another pair like 1 hour after making them from the blueprint 
yes
landmarks do add to the BT retaliations though it will take a few to increase it
Was hoping black tusk too š
You know what is crazy about it, is that Xbox and Sony are technically locking the raid weapons behind the subscription paywall without the new BT retaliation, because those weapons were exclusively from raid, raids can't be completed solo, and multiplayer requires subscription. Anyways it's just weird.
check the pinned message s in #td2-build-advice , 2nd one has a list which retal drops what blueprint
plus side is free top tier DZ loot though
Mooses pfp reminds me of the batman arkham thugs that say "its da freakin' bat!"
In a brooklyn accent
Lol I'm from Brooklyn born and raised
i got the st elmo from one legendary player in summit who just dropped it for me
Thank God the bridge is still intact there, BF6 and division 2 hate the Brooklyn bridge 
momento though took me literally a year to get
Played both those games, crazy how accurate they got the locations done.
If aliens ever take out the brooklyn bridge, you know shit is about to get real. New yorkers are a different beast and would put up a fight
Especially the single player campaign in Brooklyn. They got Flatbush downtown done so well it felt like I was home playing that mission
Wait, that's crysis 2 isn't?
Yup I think so. Been a while since I played crysis
