[jagged prism]

i thought the project was the blueprint?

[vague mesa]

yep still nothing

thanks ubislop, very cool

[random laurel]

Im sorry my boy. Game is fried

[tender wave]

Completing the project should give you the blueprint and give you the parts back so you can actually craft it

[summer steppe]

wait, what bp?

[vague mesa]

Ridgeway’s Pride

project said finishing it gave the blueprint but it’s nowhere in my crafting table

[tender wave]

What does the inner circle on your blueprint number say? Eg 4/6

[random laurel]

Its a subpar exotic if it makes you feel better

[summer steppe]

last time this happened to me, I had to wait until reset of her stocks

[vague mesa]

5/6

[summer steppe]

at least for reconfig bp

[polar thorn]

Finally got myself Houndsman outfit

[summer steppe]

congrats

[tender wave]

Do you already have the blueprints for Chatterbox, Liberty, Nemesis, Dodge City and Regulus?

[polar thorn]

Good thing I saved my money, didn't expect it to come sooner.

[vague mesa]

haven’t completed iron horse but I believe I have the others

[tender wave]

Ok, so without regulus that 5/6 implies you do have Ridgeways

[cinder nacelle]

Oh... that could be why. It might be better to focus on making a strong, optimised highend load out so you can queue at a higher tier.

[tender wave]

Check the Chest section again, the second to bottom section (above the reconfiguration blueprints, below the improvised ones)

[vague mesa]

yea I’ve got all those other blueprints, just not regulus

[vague mesa]

it is neither there nor in the chest section of exotics

[tender wave]

It should be visible but greyed out if you're looking in the right place

[hybrid ore]

Just to confirm, because I know someone has likely asked this, but have you scrolled all the way down in the Exotics area of the chest section?

In the Reconfigure part, not the Crafting Exotics in the main menu.

[vague mesa]

It only shows three unknown exotic reconfigures that are locked

[tender wave]

It's above the reconfiguration section

[vague mesa]

above that is just random brand and improvised

[broken sage]

I have builds, just not tokens as like I’ve said. Just started doing escalations.

[jagged prism]

hope they didn't secretly moved it

[tender wave]

That's what I'm wondering now

[kind veldt]

i just opened my game let me check the menus

it's a the top of mine

[vague mesa]

and in the exotics tab when you scroll down to chests it just has provocator, tardigrade (locked), beacon (locked), collector (locked) and then goes to gloves

[kind veldt]

of the chest section NOT exotics

this is mean

[umbral dock]

very silly situation we are in where existing craftables are in one place and retal craftables are in another

[vague mesa]

okay yea it’s there and that’s incredibly idiotic, why is it isolated from all the other exotics of the same type

[jagged prism]

birdshot been slacking 542/698 blueprints?

[tender wave]

Ok yeah they did move it then, how bizarre

[vague mesa]

ubislop have a brain challenge (impossible for some goddamn reason)

[kind veldt]

dont care enough about named items reconstructed caches

but it's the standard for all craftable exotics

[vague mesa]

or massive, whoever it is

[hybrid ore]

@vague mesa You'd probably get more help from people if you stopped insulting the game every 5 seconds.

[kind veldt]

the other ones are reconfig

[jagged prism]

just teasing ya Bird Shot

[grim charm]

All the project exotics that require parts are in the normal crafting sections, not the exotic section, idk why, just as a heads up (had the same problem with Nemesis earlier when looking for it)

[kind veldt]

dont worry about it, i know i didnt go for them

[vague mesa]

there’s a lot to insult

[jagged prism]

then i'd say go get in the business and make a much better game?

[kind veldt]

weapons are the same spot as before i think

[vague mesa]

that has never been a valid argument

[maiden lagoon]

is there an easier way to get catharsis mask other then running countdown targeting masks? i cant get it there to save my life

[cinder perch]

I like the detailing in the Federal Emergency Bunker mission where you can tell The Bloodhound just whacked a bunch of the agents, there's literally a dude laying sprawled out in the epicentre of a caved in fence lol

[umbral dock]

i think we are also in the situation where using a retaliation blueprint to craft something does not give you the reconfig blueprint, but using the quest blueprints does

[kind veldt]

can try doing retaliations for blueprint instead

dont remember hte faction

[grim charm]

true sons kill squads drop catharsis bp

[maiden lagoon]

idk if i can even do retaliations

[cinder perch]

Looks like he got punched by superman

[maiden lagoon]

ive never done one so i dont even know how it works

[jagged prism]

if you're referrignt o howmuch? maybe got muted for the constant insults and attacks

[vague mesa]

[livid robin]

can i still get the houndsman outfits if i do the bounties?

[vague mesa]

yea muted for insulting a game studio, okay

[cinder nacelle]

I don't think you need tokens. If you queue at the Whitehouse (by tier) you can be matched with a group where another player is hosting. Just try MM for different tiers until you get an invite then join. Just don't leave it matchmaking too long on a single tier or you'll get people joining your session and you'll have to pay. 🤓

[jagged prism]

think all but the full outfit?

[fallow idol]

No

[iron condor]

Can i play with my Friend on PS5. I play on Pc?

[broken sage]

It says I need tokens for higher tiers.

Even when matchmaking at Whitehouse

[fallow idol]

No

[jagged prism]

no, much much later

[livid robin]

@jagged prism @fallow idol thanks

[fallow idol]

Hopefully never tbh

[random laurel]

Bro cmon

[vague mesa]

I want the crossplay to help some pc friends

[jagged prism]

i'd say that's a possiblity if "hey we tried, but everytime we tried to enable it game crashed wonderfully"

[random laurel]

I want crossplay to play with my switch friends... oh shit I forgot switch console cant handle a good game

[cinder nacelle]

Oh... maybe it wants you to have available deposit in case you end up hosting. In that case you might have to solo grind enough tokens to queue at higher tier. Then do as I said to make sure you join a game and not host. Before long you'll be swimming in tokens. I have over 500. 😎

[burnt hazel]

what is the weekly legendary ?

[vague mesa]

district union

[hazy hound]

Guys for Tiping scale build an LMG with critical chance or damage to armor better?

[midnight epoch]

Crit chance

[green badge]

DtA. Its multiplicative. You can get crit from mods if needed at 6 each to make up until you get some protos with higher crit chc on them.

[hazy hound]

Ok thanks guys

[valid lava]

This only works if you're fighting armored enemies, CHC boosts the utility of the natural CHD you get from TS, so CHC would often be considered the better choice

[small spear]

chc is the usual pick since chc on gun is the highest value you can get. if you want dta then it's better to get it via contractor, if you're not already running overdogs

[hazy hound]

Ok noted thanks 🙏

[opaque stump]

I wish revive hive wasn't mandatory for 90% of loadouts in harder content. It feels so limiting.

[sage thicket]

If you have a Birdie healer, there is an argument to not use it. To be fair that's not the most solid of arguments but it's a theoretical possibility.

[gloomy venture]

Do invaded mission -> DC and have to start over -> start over -> DC again -> start again -> enemy spawns and gets stuck.

I can't do this anymore. This game is always broken in some way. Sigh

[small spear]

you don't really need it if you're good enough, tbf

[gloomy venture]

lol, people really out here going "skill issue" when 99% of the players have to run revive. 😂

[frigid merlin]

Are there no players or smth? Matchingmaking Escalations no games

[gloomy venture]

My guess atm is that stuff is broken in the backend or something. I also tried queueing and got nothing.

[small spear]

that's not what i said, but sure

[cinder nacelle]

I don't use revive hive. If needed I'll use healing skill to keep my health/armour topped up.

[zenith urchin]

nobody is judging you for running revive hive to save your ass, but you gotta learn to live without it eventually

[gloomy venture]

Do I tho?

[small spear]

i mean in some cases you need to use both skills

[cinder perch]

what

[zenith urchin]

i mean feel free to restrict yourself to one usable skill slot forever just to have an extra life on a 2 minute cooldown

[midnight epoch]

99% of players have a skill issue, so you wouldn’t be wrong to say that either.

[zenith urchin]

im out here balling with my spotter drone and dtoc smart cover

[small spear]

nowhere did i say anyone has a skill issue, i'm merely just stating the fact that you can live without it if you're good enough

if you want to keep using it, i'm not stopping you

[unique bramble]

There is also a maneuver on retaliation called skill issue

[jagged prism]

my floor hugging is just a skill issue 😹

[cinder nacelle]

Yeah it just sits there most of the time doing nothing for just in case you are downed when you could put a skill in that slot that you get more use from. Fair play if people want to use but I don't think it's mandatory.

[gloomy venture]

Yeah, I feel like the mutes are inevitable. People get frustrated with the game since it is quite broken in quite a few ways. They come here to complain. People call skill issue or something of the kind. Leaving them to either bail on the game they paid money for completely or try to engage with the community, but then with the skill issue and "you should just understand that this is how the game is". Then they get more frustrated and lash out and get muted.

Damn, if I haven't seen this a million times.

[valid lava]

Having the ability to play without it doesn't mean you always have to play without it, I run revive hive 90% of the time because it's a luxury I can afford, but if I need to give up the revive hive for something more immediately usable, I can and be okay.

[zenith urchin]

i only use it in two loadouts these days, retal striker (retakes are no respawn zones) and hunter's fury (im stupid with it)

[vague mesa]

houndsman outfit do be pretty baller ngl

mask having no eye slits is offputting for me though so I just run it without the mask

also maybe it’s just me but apart from the actual puzzles to spawn them the hunters in Brooklyn seem really easy

then again it could also just be that when I fought hunters in the past I didn’t have an actual build so I was getting curbstomped

[dawn mango]

is anyone having issues with game on pc? where its laggy or staggering when running and shooting? non of my others game is doing this and ive updated my drivers

[dim frigate]

Verify game files or restart pc maybe?

[dawn mango]

yea ive done that as well and im still having this issues, i really dont know

[red valve]

are servers back to a stable status now cuz I wanna do some esc dont wanna get delta'd in the middle of it

[grim charm]

personally haven't had any troubles in the last few hours (eu)

[zenith urchin]

hunter masks are just way more advanced division contact lenses so he probably has sensors and cameras with vr goggles or some shit

[vague mesa]

ace combat coffin system ass mask

[hazy hound]

So i have another question, an LMG with frenzy or measured is better and is it better with big mag size like 200 bullet or lower ?

[delicate mesa]

where is the missions for pentagon and darpa research labs?

[lyric egret]

2 questions- Is Tinker mask confirmed fixed and is there a limit to the number of proc icons you can see at one time? I'm not seeing vindictive icon yet I meet all the criteria for it to show

[green badge]

Most peeps are running frenzy due to the awesome burst damage. Really good with tinkerers.
Bear in mind, it does not increase damage, rather than the speed you deliver it. For overall damage output, there are better options.
But it's so much fun, its hard to ignore.
Downside is watching the mag count and timing it sometimes.

[brave idol]

botoom left

[delicate mesa]

i am not seeing it lmao it is main missioons right?

[green badge]

Tinkerer works on my character. I noticed on a friend it only shows the red icon. Best to equip and test on shooting range if possible

[brave idol]

darpa shows up after completing pentagon i think.

[delicate mesa]

oh there is a side mission you have to do first

[brave idol]

yes that sounds right. its been a while so i dont remember

[hazy hound]

So what's the better options to go for if i want more dps with tinkrer or Tiping scale ?

[green badge]

Single weapon talent, drop tinks to use overdogs, or contractors and coyote if team needs it. 2 weapon talents, then use Tink, but you lose option to swap other exotics in.

[civic ridge]

By now. is it really necessary for that Tidal Basin zoom in and map panning the first time you open it after a reset?

[green badge]

On my TS, I'm stillusing Big Al. Ok up to lvl 5 excalations. Above that, I switch in MK46 military and Tinks with Frenzy and the crit damage one. I use contractors gloves.

[hazy hound]

The crit damage one you mean killer talent ?

[green badge]

1 min let me look at alt

[hazy hound]

And big mag is better for frenzy or a 100 bullet mag is better ?

[valid lava]

bigger mag = more damage & RoF from frenzy

[green badge]

Ok I have Strained and Frenzy at moment when using Tinks. Not sure if best combo as I therorise pressure point and flatline would give less fun, but overall more consistent damage. I need to test.

[valid lava]

strained is iffy, it's like a much less forgiving version of TS imo

[hazy hound]

So frenzy and streamline or killer ?

[celest maple]

killer >

[valid lava]

Personally, I enjoy measured just because there's no conditional, it's just there

plus measured frenzy fulfills the vladof philosophy

[hazy hound]

What is that philosophy 😅 sorry never heard that

[valid lava]

it's a bit of an injoke from Borderlands, basically "you don't need to be a better shot, you just need to shoot more bullets"

[hazy hound]

Ok i will give a try to all combos

[green badge]

Borderlands ref'

[hazy hound]

Never played borderlands before unfortunately

[sage thicket]

Depends on what content you are playing. If you're playing high tier escalations Frenzy is preferred, on heroic content Measured may be better.

If you're playing solo I'd personally just go with Killer probably.

[hazy hound]

T10 escalation measured?

[sage thicket]

T10 Frenzy.

[hazy hound]

I like to play with others i dont like solo

[sage thicket]

A lot of the time I'd take Measured, but high tier escalations is definitely Frenzy territory.

[valid lava]

Frenzy just has such an increase to DPS that high tier escalations demand from a build

[hazy hound]

Ok good to know

[celest maple]

always can find good videos on that stuff as well, them explaining and showing the build to get a better understanding you know. doesnt hurt to try

[cosmic wraith]

Hello! So i have just reached level 40 and i have finished the story but i have no idea what to do now, i have the ultimate edition so which expansion should i start first or is there other things to do before i play them

[random laurel]

Got my first OD proto with echo let's gooooo

[civic ridge]

Personally I would do Warlords of New York and then Battle for Brooklyn for Story and of course to unlock all the extra skills and missions you may need. Unless you just want to gear up right now

[celest maple]

do all strongholds, manning zoo and start doing WONY and brooklyn

pentagon missions, i think the college you’re able to get a free exotic called the diamondback i can’t remember

[zealous hawk]

So is there any news on Thursday's Brooklyn anniversary event? I've seen nothing about what it's bringing

[celest maple]

tomorrow stream they’re gonna talk about it

[zealous hawk]

Ok cool

Was thinking they'd have a stream today or tomorrow

[celest maple]

same glad it’s tomorrow and next day is the event

[cosmic wraith]

Thanks for the advice!

[paper crystal]

there's a datamine of 3 brooklyn dlc characters's outfits, that will be in an event pass, plus an lmb officer outfit, same pass.
caduceus exotic ar most likely coming with the event, might be in the track same as Big alexandro was during anniversary.
other than that, don't know what else is coming.

[brave idol]

brooklyn retals may finally fire maybe

[inner notch]

Servers down ?

[edgy fable]

Nope

[inner notch]

Currently everything is under NDA till tomorrow . Can comfrim this because im in the partner program

[maiden lagoon]

what do i do with hunter dog tags?

[inner notch]

Thats wierd im getting a delta 4 and saying servers are currently down

[brave idol]

you get comms for them

[edgy fable]

They're Countdown currency for the vendor. They turn into coins or whatever they're called

[maiden lagoon]

automatically?

[brave idol]

yes

[edgy fable]

Oh?

Nevermind then, I might be wrong here

[brave idol]

at the end of the countdown they convert automatically

[maiden lagoon]

ok thanks

[random laurel]

Ambush event is so good mates. I prefer it over last weeks event. 5 mil crits with big al. Feels like a cheat code

Downside is you can't use it past t6 for obvious reason lol

[brave idol]

when you acticate ambush it kills modifiers right?

[edgy fable]

Yup

[brave idol]

yeah the black pulse is huge for me in escalation

[random laurel]

Its worth it lad

Trust the shrek

[edgy fable]

Blackout Pulse is useful pretty often but don't wait too long after a spawn to activate it or the NPCs will have modifiers and resist

[brave idol]

i love it in federal bunker against outcast rushers

[random laurel]

Good against the big bois

[brave idol]

that too

i will try ambush though, wanted to try alejandro anyway

[random laurel]

Im still figuring out the best spots in district arena. Gonna take me a while

[brave idol]

are you using TS or strikers

[edgy fable]

Don't try mm Escalations with GE enabled fyi

[random laurel]

It pairs well with big al because both conditions complement each other. Win win

[brave idol]

should be fine as long as i am not the leader, no?

[edgy fable]

I mean up to T5 if you even find lobbies it's cool

[random laurel]

@proven sparrow btw I saw that you invited me earlier but you left before I joined. Do I have bad breath? Jking broski all good

[edgy fable]

T6 has Hot Foot

[brave idol]

that i understand but i know that if the leader has GE activated entire party lose modifiers

[proven sparrow]

Nah had alot of bad runs with randoms sorry haha i took a brake haha

[random laurel]

These randoms do be silly sometimes

[dapper axle]

are servers down

[brave idol]

T5 with randoms are usually fine

pentagon i would be careful.

[dapper axle]

nevermind i think i was lagging

[brave idol]

i am a random by the way

[fathom cloak]

we're all randoms to someone n_n

[random laurel]

Nah bros. You guys are like family to me

insert fast and furious car driving away gif

[edgy fable]

Well you cannot mm with people who have it enabled when you have them off and vice versa

[devout dirge]

And you can't beat family

[candid radish]

All I want is the Memento backpack, but the game keeps giving me Harrier Pride!!!!!

[grave wadi]

Memento at home

[candid radish]

I want the real one!

[hybrid ore]

I think I've got a spare Momento laying around.

[grave wadi]

i dont think you can drop unless it hes in the same session as you. And if it still is how I remember, sharing only works for a set time.

[midnight epoch]

🛫🚶‍♂️‍➡️

[opal marsh]

I think she knows that lol

[grave wadi]

i thought so, but the message of "I think I've got a spare Momento laying around." confused me

[opal marsh]

She said “momento” instead of “memento”
“Have a spare momento / moment”

(It’s a play on words)

[midnight epoch]

No, she was definitely attempting to share her Memento with someone in a different game instance. We should explain it to her again just to make sure she knows it won’t let her share it.

[opal marsh]

Lol

[grave wadi]

oh. Well, i'm so accustomed to my personal friends misspelling things so I went to that assumption first, that it was unintentionally misspelled. Plus only slept 3 hours last night, to work an 11h shift. Am exhuasted

[opal marsh]

I feel you on the little sleep lol 😭
I’m exhausted

[grave wadi]

( I work from home and am only awake because some idiot just might need tech support and call me because they hadn't learned to read yet )

[near solstice]

[candid radish]

“Dear The Division 2 RNG gods, I know I have my issues with the game but if you could please let my next exotic backpack drop be memento that would be awesome!”

[grave wadi]

Literally opening and closing my eyes repeatedly, have been for the past 3 hours. The adhd meds tuckered out

[candid radish]

Just embrace the full ADHD like I do.

[opal marsh]

Have you been farming heroic escalations with backpack targeted loot?

[opal marsh]

Damn 🫂

[grave wadi]

All of a sudden, im unemployed lol

[candid radish]

I can’t do Heroic. Only challenging right now, and that can be a bit rough at times. Been doing retaliations. I’m only SHD lvl 120. Havent done the dlc yet because I’m trying to just get my build set the way I want it.

[opal marsh]

I just woke up after a nap. Gonna grab a coffee then I gotta start learning a new bit of software for some work my dad wanted help with.
Then, it’s Div 2 time 😎

[opal marsh]

I’m willing to help you farm if you can hold out a little bit.
If you need help immediately right now, I’m sure some people in #lfg-pc might help

[random laurel]

I like the part in the division where Manny divisions all over the black tusk

[opal marsh]

I need like an hour or two

[random laurel]

Truly cinema moment

[wooden tapir]

claws out did it drop to anyone as prototype ? is it possible ?

[kind veldt]

it's possible

[midnight epoch]

It should be able to drop directly from Escalation

[kind veldt]

all named can just drop as protos

or the shop

issue is that it will drop with skill tier as main core

[opal marsh]

Escalation can drop named protos from exclusive sources?

[kind veldt]

but both the other unique stats will be buffed

[opal marsh]

I thought Claws Out wasn’t in the full pool

[hybrid ore]

Ya try to share a Regular, or Momento, and this is what happens.

[kind veldt]

think anything other than event items = lexi, the rest appears to be droping

[opal marsh]

Interesting
Good to know

[kind veldt]

it drops DZ gear which claws out is

got a system corruption backpack

[hybrid ore]

https://discord.com/events/477210626742288384/1506325698091155637

[candid radish]

Nah I can wait. But I’ll just keep trying retaliation in the meantime. I will most likely be eating in an hour. 6pm EST.

lol I can’t even do anything with the prototype stuff because my expertise is only 3 😩🤣🤣

[hybrid ore]

@candid radish You only need Expertise 30 to add it to items you own.
You can be any Expertise and get the drops in Escalation.

[calm wigeon]

Yall know how to get chatterbox?

[candid radish]

Yeah that’s what I meant. Sorry.

[random laurel]

You got a few options bud. Do the project to get your first one or farm targeted loot set to smg in countdown. If that doesnt work you may need to get the blueprint from retaliation I think hyena retaliation completions grant them

[calm wigeon]

Yea it says hyena but idk where to look I just started a few days ago

[kind veldt]

you can get the parts of the gun from as a chance from opening hyena faction boxes in certain zones

that was the original way

retaliation is a game mode like control point capture as a time trial that can give blueprints to craft preetty much all exotic

[random laurel]

Bird is the word

Peter griffin voice

Opening hyena lockboxes is probably the best way to get them tbh. I get them sometimes from that one lockbox in district arena

[mighty crag]

They gonna add Escalation random matchmaking??

[tender wave]

Chatterbox blueprint won't drop from retaliations (like the other 5 craftable exotics), you'll need to do the quest or get someone else to drop one for you

[tender wave]

It already exists, from the escalation point at the white house or the missions themselves

[mighty crag]

Oh I'm talking about when you open the map and go to matchmaking tab.

[random laurel]

Damn it sorry bros I turned into clickbait misinformation

[candid radish]

Yeah, heroic kills me way too fast. 🤣 failed a freaking heroic bounty. 😩

[random laurel]

You'll get there bud. Just have to learn the mobs behaviour and positioning

[tender wave]

I'd assume they have a reason for adding it to that white house spot instead of the matchmaking tab, so it probably won't change

[candid radish]

I sometimes swear The Division 2 is just shooting dark souls with its difficulty. 😭🤣

[random laurel]

Escalation is when they become dark souls bosses

[candid radish]

That almost annoys me a little because I just wanna go cover to cover, chill in cover for a bit and kill stuff.

[tender wave]

@olive hinge Please use #lfg-pc when looking for players to group with in game

[mighty crag]

Yeah but it sucks

[random laurel]

Also your build is half the battle. Ask the lads in #td2-build-advice they will guide you

[candid radish]

Peak my head out without getting one shot. 🤣

[olive hinge]

Yeah mb just seen it @tender wave

[sage thicket]

Does Walker & Harris have anything else worth farming for than Chainkiller?

[candid radish]

Yeah I have. I’ve been trying to get the memento backpack for my striker build. This pure glass canon drives me crazy right now since my armor is only at 695k

[kind veldt]

i think matador might also be that brand

[candid radish]

HP, 273k

[hallow raven]

question to anyone who would happen to know... if i have a cache on my character and someone joins me, does the gear after someone joins become shareable?

as in, i open it when they join

[lunar hare]

only if your Inventory is full IIRC

[hallow raven]

aw man, i was gonna give a new player some exotic duplicates lmao

guess there goes my plan

[lunar hare]

open some Field Caches

do that until your Inventory is full and when you open them they'll most likely drop to the ground and become shareable

IDK if Exotics go to your Stash with this, give it a shot

[vague plover]

guys where i can find the backpack called the gift?

[random laurel]

Dz drop lad. But some events give dz items like the ambush event from the named caches, give it a go

[sage thicket]

Oh yeah yes it is.

[random laurel]

Ive seen some pvp people use it but if feel like there's better options

[violet flume]

Its 1 second down time from regular vigilance iirc

[random laurel]

Oh sorry I meant matador

But yeah it is 1 sec down (gift)

[lunar hare]

some people like to say that P. Vigi is higher dmg

[sage thicket]

Chainkiller at least might have some use as prototype.

[violet flume]

Funny thing is I got a lvl 36 gift from a lucky countdown create when wony runs were a thing

[random laurel]

Id go for that. Its the bread and butter for sniper build

[sage thicket]

True, but I usually only play that solo to wind off and train my aim.

[arctic cradle]

lfg escalation

[sage thicket]

And honestly there really aren't prime target loot for today.

[violet flume]

Nothing that hasn’t already been in rotation already, a lot of players will already have them sets. Also the servers were delta central so people probably didn’t bother

[sage thicket]

Already have or won't bother (Nego) because Striker's is still better.

[violet flume]

I mean people play other things than striker outside escalations

[sage thicket]

Sure, absolutely do. But none of those are really that good IMO to start farming. And prototype aren't really mandatory outside of escalation, at least not yet.

[ripe basalt]

they aware the servers are super crappy today? i have deltated about a dozen times now....

[hybrid ore]

@ripe basalt What's your region?

[ripe basalt]

us west

[opal marsh]

I delta'd 3 times in less than 5 minutes this morning lol

[ripe basalt]

not even doing escalations today because i am tiered of loosing tokens

[opal marsh]

Just ended up closing the game after that

[unique bramble]

It's a reasonable assumption since most of the perfect talents are like 5% of damage is now --> 6%! <--

[vapid wagon]

I can now do T10 escalations! :D

Mightve asked this already but how do I get the headline grabber lmg? And is a lmg build with 4pc tip scales, overdogs, contractors all rolled red specifically for escalation as a prototyped build better than a full red striker elmo engine build (also prototyped)?

[bitter wraith]

Solo?

Nvm lol

[cinder nacelle]

Didn't manage to run Pentagon many times today but I think my Ongoing Directive should be in good shape. I would have thought Negotiators would have easily been the more popular pick.

[bitter wraith]

I might genuinely just say f it and make a prototype lmg tipping scales build over a proto striker ar elmo build just for the lols. I'd only make one anyway unless I have insane amounts of mats left over to push everything to 30 for both builds

[vapid wagon]

striker and future initiative are just the best and if you aint using em, randoms might kick you

[oak anvil]

Can i get nemesis as target loot and give it to my mate?

[bitter wraith]

Knowing the reliability of strikers i might just go strikers the boring meta as usual

[vapid wagon]

if you guys are in the same group doing the same thing ye

[modest sinew]

which one of the weekly escalations you guys think its the easiest?

[vapid wagon]

high tier escalation does not give mercy

[bitter wraith]

So with that strikers full red ar or tipping scales lmg full red?

[vapid wagon]

heck both are great, but with high tier escal, strikers is the choice, you'll max out your stacks constantly

im curious on an all red tipping scales + tinkerer + frenzy + optimized build would be like

i'd need a vet to punch those numbers in though

[sour void]

Does Faraday Cage protect from damage caused by Hot Step?

[cinder nacelle]

I have this; it's great! Second proto loadout I made.

[bitter wraith]

Does CHC still cap at 60 even full prototyped everything?

[kind veldt]

Y

[bitter wraith]

GR9 with a Lexington....hmm

I want something new not the same slop over and over I'm going to go with a gr9

[vapid wagon]

i use an MK46 :)

[random laurel]

I personally use big al myself. My headass couldn't use my m249 with frenzy to its fullest extent

Ill probably retry it again since the overdrive event was screwing up the bonus

[delicate mesa]

i finished the pentagon quest and it wont let me change the difficulty from story, and i cant get the door for the darpa quest to open. any solutions to this?

[random laurel]

But then I would reload too early and lose all that ammo 😭

[unique bramble]

Only the shock effect iirc

[polar wedge]

Any url i can see the info about their brooklyn celebration thing?

[polar wedge]

Reload the game mate. Log out and in. I found there was a side mission there also.

[tranquil arch]

anyone tryna help with countdown.... no mic.. tryna get elmos engine, pc

[flat kelp]

bruh. just q. instant matchmaking

[tranquil arch]

i did

[unique bramble]

Which difficulty?

[tranquil arch]

challenging

[unique bramble]

Now that's weird, there are always 24/7 players there

[tranquil arch]

@unique bramble check dms

[unique bramble]

If you gonna ask for my help or something, forget it, I don't have PC, (I'm just using the PC role to help direct PC players to lfg-channels link).

[sour void]

Ugggghh

I swear the sooner Hot Step gets deleted the better this game will be

[polar thorn]

ambush feels too stupid, 5m per hit is gonna crazy

[random laurel]

Yeah buddy. Better than assault imo

[polar thorn]

Umbra players are gonna enjoy this event even more.

[candid radish]

I need kill squads in retaliation to always drop at least one exotic! 😩🤣🤣

[sour void]

Sad that we need Ambush to actually kill people in higher Escalation Tiers

[polar thorn]

with or without, I'm still gonna rip everyone out if they can handle my Mk46

Well, not prototype but yeah

But it's fun looking at numbers where dealing 5M per hit in Escalation

[bitter wraith]

Prototyped Lexington with killer - i got quantum as my first roll...reroll?

[dark sand]

Anyone have outcast public execution in downtown west

[random laurel]

Get it with echo boss

I mean Mr Oppenheimer

[bitter wraith]

White dot with the four shockwaves around it?

runs out of cores

[random laurel]

Don't nuke me pls

[random laurel]

Yuppers that one

[bitter wraith]

whips out the lexy

[random laurel]

"I have become death, destroyer of worlds" - Robert chad Oppenheimer aka xxdoomdayboixx

[vapid bear]

Is striker in rotation today for escalation, just checking before I go to bed😭

[sour void]

Just melted the Pentagon quad with Big A

[candid radish]

So how difficult are escalations? For someone who is only SHD lvl 122. Decent striker build. Using a fast smg instead of shotgun and it’s been much better.

[brave idol]

Try solo 0-4 first

I would ditch the smg though

[candid radish]

Nah this smg has been great. SMG-9

[brave idol]

Ok

[polar thorn]

Let us duel to death, shall the highest DPS will live to tell the story

[brave idol]

Striker or TS?

[bitter wraith]

Imo the prototype grind isn't even worth it....die once and you lose it all just for a 5% chance to get the right item....Idk this ain't it

If it 4xed your damage maybe but it doesn't. 1.8x at best even full prototyped

[brave idol]

You almost never get what you want but you can use the cores and the tokens so there is that

[bitter wraith]

Idk the grind doesnt seem worth it IMO unless there is absolutely nothing else to play. Maybe it's just me but prototype seems a bit off for the miniscule upgrades

[remote lynx]

Server restart in the middle of DUA T5 thank you

[polar thorn]

Don't worry, end-game content incoming soon.

[remote lynx]

I lost everything

[brave idol]

I like how proto gear makes retal easier for me, i wont lie.

[polar thorn]

Escalation is starter even tho they let low SHD players to enjoy it

[remote lynx]

How much time does the server restart thing lasts or smt?

[random laurel]

I can't wait to see what bugs the brooklyn event brings lmao

[remote lynx]

I lost my tokens thanks Obama

[random laurel]

The casino (massive) stole our chips

[polar thorn]

It will let you know one hour early before the restart

[bitter wraith]

I got matchmaked into a tier 4 Roosevelt. Leader left after 30 secs so I had it to myself. Got maybe halfway through to 75% through and died to a purple cleaner spraying me through a damn wall (released in 2019 btw) games great but the direction it went is awful

[remote lynx]

So i cant login now right?

[random laurel]

Tom clancy is probably crying seeing what his ip turned into

[bitter wraith]

Tier 4 BTW. Only my lexington was prototyped and 30 everything else was either 20 or 12

[bitter wraith]

As much as I want to disagree, I have to agree so badly

[bitter wraith]

And yet a mechanic x bug from literally 2019 is what killed me lmao this games mechanics are weird sometimes

[fiery slate]

I'm pretty sure he isnt

[polar thorn]

If the leader leaves in the middle of the game, just abandon it.

As much as it pains me, soloing Tier 4 and above is pain in the ass.

[sour void]

Striker

[polar thorn]

my TS will beat your striker

[random laurel]

Nah fam. Cavalier will outdamage both

[polar thorn]

More like Umbra will be the biggest DPS /j

[sour void]

Sure. But you'll never outpace my True Patriot build.

St Elmo, Shocker Pouch, ggez

[bitter wraith]

It was within 40 seconds of loading in, at the very start.

Imo prototype isn't worth grinding countless hours for. Shame there's nothing new till fall

[unique bramble]

I can't wait for the South Brooklyn Boys squad to go after us

[polar thorn]

Oh god

The Shocker is making his return VERY SOON.

[torn wagon]

does anyone remember when was the last time the FI was in rotation for proto?

[edgy fable]

Not sure it was yet

[polar thorn]

like many weeks ago if I remember

[random laurel]

I was playing space administration and I shit you not the true son big chungus with the noob tube shot it into one of the corners, it ricochet and went straight on my face. I cannot make this up, dude straight up did a trick shot on my sorry ass. These mofos on escalation are getting smarter bros I swear

I captured a clip of it if anyone wants to see. Pm only obviously

[sleek tree]

Is there a way to get the backpacks from the last creator collab I miss them

[stoic swan]

Guys, after level 100 season pass, theres nothing else to do anymore, right?

[lunar hare]

not until Stretch Goals come live

[stoic swan]

I see~ Thank you!

[candid radish]

You know, this game really pisses me off sometimes. I get to the freaking end of Space Administration escalation and I freaking die and it takes me out of the whole damn mission. Well screw that I don’t feel like doing that all over again. 🤬

[stoic swan]

IMO, thats the worst mission to do LOL

[candid radish]

These damn freaking enemies with grenade launchers can suck a big one for real!

[stoic swan]

Like... It takes so long to complete... So much waiting...

[candid radish]

Tired of getting blown out of my cover because of it. Then it takes me down to such little health a tap on my shoulder kills me.

[stoic swan]

There were some escalations, my team kept getting wiped by grenade launchers LOL but no one was trying to aim for them but me 🥲

[candid radish]

They are my main priority but then you got the other douchebags shooting at you!

I was solo btw tier 0

Not to mention big chungus takes so many shots to take down.

[stoic swan]

Damn dude... why not just matchmake escalation? It'll be easier

[candid radish]

Idk, I’m always a solo kind of person.

[frosty summit]

Quick question, any confirmation or just a 'we will consider it' for optimization/recal for proto gear? would feel crappy using cores on gear that's gonna be trash till i get a better drop

[stoic swan]

For me, I'm pure DPS and can solo up to only tier 3... But running with a group with healers always makes things so much easier~

[candid radish]

Also does escalation have a set difficulty setting or does it go based on your world difficulty?

[stoic swan]

Difficulty setting

[edgy fable]

T0-10

[stoic swan]

Try matchmaking escalation instead, it'll be a lot easier IMO

[brazen elm]

tier 0 is heroic

[candid radish]

No freaking wonder. I can just manage challenging. Surprised I made it as far as I did.

[stoic swan]

Your bravery is commendable 🤣

[brazen elm]

i wouldnt do escalation at that point honestly

[candid radish]

Man, I had no idea they just set that stuff at heroic only. Thought it would let me set loot I want to drop.

I just want my freaking memento!!!!

[brazen elm]

you dont go to escalation for exotics

[stoic swan]

If you want memento, do Summit on legendary floor 10 loop, it'll be easier to get

[candid radish]

Welp misinformation was given. 😭🤣 oh well.

[brazen elm]

retaliation for exotic blueprints or countdown for exotic caches

[candid radish]

My friend you just saw me say I struggle with heroic and want me to do legendary on a mode I’ve never done?! 😩😩🤣🤣 you killing me!

[stoic swan]

Or just do what Blue said, retaliation for blueprint or countdown for caches 🤣

[candid radish]

Yeah I’ve been running retaliation and countdown. All I keep getting is freaking Harrier Pride!

[stoic swan]

The RNG gods hate ya HAHAHAHA

[candid radish]

I honestly despise all games like this where you have to buy it to play, but then they make loot drop such bullcrap like it were a f2p game.

[brazen elm]

an f2p game would let you only do like 3 retaliations a day

[stoic swan]

Honestly though, this game RNG is pretty good IMO... Plus, you don't really need to spend on this game, you could go free to play and still get good drops~

[candid radish]

Probably, and still have bad drop rates.

[candid radish]

Suppose. Just wish I’d see a bit more exotic drops is all.

[stoic swan]

For retaliation, Memento should be under Outcasts~ Soo, just farm their retaliation and you'll get the blueprint~

[candid radish]

I have the same sort of view with Borderlands 4. 🤣

[candid radish]

Whaaaa…that matters? I’ve just been doing whatever retaliation I’m hope for a drop

[stoic swan]

LOLOL every faction has their own blueprint drops~ Just google it, someone has already made a list 🤣

[candid radish]

On a good note though I did get the blueprint for St Elmo’s, which I need. Just gotta get more assault alloy.

[brazen elm]

#td2-build-advice message

[stoic swan]

Whats your SHD level? :0

[candid radish]

[brazen elm]

long way to go

[stoic swan]

You're still really young 🤭

[candid radish]

I know! 😩 I need a fast way to level it!

[lethal moon]

0/2 on DUA runs. First one the 3rd encounter had a shield user decide that my cover was optional and shot me through it. Second one I got a Rouge 4th encounter with the bombardier drone

[candid radish]

I used to play some on my PS but only got to 164 there. Only did the Warlords dlc there. But on PC I have all the dlc now. But haven’t done it yet. Just trying to get this memento first.

[brazen elm]

short cover is weird like that

[polar thorn]

Idk if rogue despises me or something, I never encounter them even at high tiers

[stoic swan]

You got rouge in escalation? :0

[polar thorn]

People said there's chance of them spawning but I NEVER SEE THEM

[stoic swan]

I haven't seen them in escalation too... And I pray I never will 🤣

[brazen elm]

you're lucky, people consider rogues an instant lose

[polar thorn]

I would like them to see if they can tank my TS MK46

[stoic swan]

Imagine killing 4 rougues and they all drop protos LOL

[polar thorn]

That would be nice, Rogue Agents guaranteed proto drops would be much rewarding

[stoic swan]

Imagine meeting rougue aagents on tier 10

I would be crying my eyes out LOL

[candid radish]

Curious when should one listen to the Descent logs? They seem like stuff I have no idea about lore wise. Also 105 of them?! 😧

Also odd you get them from retaliation

[brazen elm]

descent has been around for a while

[stoic swan]

Tru dat , the lore for Division itself is pretty big

[candid radish]

I’m so behind in story related stuff.

[lethal moon]

To be fair... when they get the health and damage bonus, they are just usually unfair.

[hybrid ore]

It's best to listen to them once you've at least finished the bulk of the Manhunts, just to make sure.

[brazen elm]

they used to be time-limited to descent but you can get them anytime from retals now

[candid radish]

Makes sense. I’ve never done any of the manhunts.

[hybrid ore]

There's a list in the progression tab, I highly recommend going through at least the OG 4 first, they each award a new Skill variant.

[candid radish]

So is descent even worth doing now?

[stoic swan]

I don't even touch that 🤣

[hybrid ore]

Descent gives you the outfits still, and honestly a bunch of Commendations, if you're chasing that particular Mask.

I get why, it's a really cool mask.

[brazen elm]

There's reconstructed caches that give you named blueprints but you can get those from retals anyway

[stoic swan]

Just waiting for the next seasonal event and those extra seasonal level pass now~

[polar thorn]

Im confused why I have 2 exotics cache

[candid radish]

You mean doing Warlords and Brooklyn? I’m looking at the progression section right now.

[polar thorn]

then I remember the 5x season pass was instantly completed

[stoic swan]

Love the 5x season pass, but once you reach 100... Its practically useless now 🥲

[edgy fable]

Usually two pieces average on higher tiers

[opal marsh]

I can help you farm for a little while now if you're still around

[polar thorn]

Yeah, I haven't encountered them it pains me either I'm not worthy or something

[random laurel]

Bro i cant with this game. I rerolled a proto item and got entropy 3 times in a row... what in the shit is this lmao

[edgy fable]

Only 75 cores, no biggie, right?

[bleak escarp]

For a person who hasn’t played in a couple years where should I start? Played non stop a few years back but quit and looking to get back into it

[candid radish]

Yeah I can play for another hour. I have no retaliations at the moment.

[opal marsh]

gimme like 5 min actually

[hybrid ore]

Do WONY, and then there's 4 other manhunts that are separate from the DLC and give you a skill variant each.
3 are at places with another Manhunt though that should be done later, so check the Manhunt section and see the right order for you.

[random laurel]

I swear I have the worst luck ever

[stoic swan]

God to pray to the RNG gods before doing anything

[candid radish]

Mine starts with Jupiter, second is Hornet, Third is Bardon Schaeffer

[opal marsh]

correct, with Faye Lau 4th

[candid radish]

Yep

Sucks you have to run them multiple times for the logs.

[candid radish]

Also my Ubisoft connect name is AstralSaiyan. Even though I actually play the game from Steam it still need Ubisoft to open. 🤣

[hybrid ore]

Yep, those are the 4 that award skills.
gl Agent, enjoy the new shinies. And remember: the Skills are character specific, but the logs are account bound!

[opaque stump]

Is there any weapon skins that ACTUALLY paint it black? im tired of all the original paint leaking thru with the normal black dye

[opal marsh]

alrighty, sending invite in a sec

[opal marsh]

Depends on the weapon

[tame rose]

Is 5xp on?

[polar thorn]

Season xp, yes.
It doesn't affect SHD level.

Just focus on Ambush where you can clear Legendary/Tier 5 escalation easily.

[civic ravine]

GOT DELTA

[dusty walrus]

Season off match making and global modifier match making are two different things or what ?.. when I match make with ambush none is there.. but with global modifier everyone available

[edgy fable]

Yup

With Escalations it doesn't even make much of a difference

[polar thorn]

The modifiers/season modifiers will follow on Leader/Host room.

If the leader activated Ambush, you can't use global modifiers where you can have 120% headshot dmg

Same goes for global modifiers where Ambush won't be activated.

[dusty walrus]

They make it to one as per leader ... Whenever I join someone that should become like his and when it finishes automatically it should become like my previous one

[edgy fable]

Yeah sadly your personal world status is not saved

[polar thorn]

Ubisoft wants us to suffer, not to enjoy.

[tranquil arch]

Is anyone on pc that can drop the St. Elmo Engine?

[brazen elm]

You can't drop items for other players unless it was picked up in the same party

[tranquil arch]

🔫

[polar thorn]

Just go countdown, set TL to assault rifle.

[tranquil arch]

No way bro I’ve been tryna get this for a week now on summit and countdown mainly countdown shit don’t work

[brazen elm]

It's all rng, and retaliation is better for getting exotic blueprints anyway

[edgy fable]

Priority Objectives is a good way too

[polar thorn]

Do True Sons retaliation and craft one

[tranquil arch]

ATP my only luck would to be to get it from exotic crates

[edgy fable]

Did you buy exotic caches from the CD vendor tho?

[polar thorn]

but there are alot of ARs can match with St Elmo

[tranquil arch]

Yea 6 so far they was all buns

[polar thorn]

6..?

[tranquil arch]

I’m going for a specific build

[edgy fable]

Go try Priority Objectives for a change. Do those with exotic item reward

[polar thorn]

Either Priority or True Sons retaliation

[tranquil arch]

Bet ima give it a try 🙏 pray for me

[brazen elm]

exotic caches and prio objectives all pull from the general exotic pool which is still big

[edgy fable]

If you keep farming for the crafting blueprint be aware that it will probably take a while, too

[polar thorn]

Nah, just ball it for 6 hours grind non-stop

[brazen elm]

8 bps in ts kill squad with a high but not guaranteed chance for them

[polar thorn]

also doing escalation really rewarding me with all tactical assessment BPs

Better than proto honestly.

[edgy fable]

Which is totally ridiculous for an endgame activity

[polar thorn]

Skipped hundreds of Control Points

I got red hollow man, so I don't have to gamble for blueprints

Yeah, I'm pretty jacked at this point.
Just gotta need lots of proto cores/exotics comps

[random laurel]

OD farm didnt go well bros. Ah well. Maybe tomorrow will be better. Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win. Just a game right?

shakes oh man I need my gambling fix guys. I need more proto cores

[fathom cloak]

escalation gives bps?

[polar thorn]

yup

[polar thorn]

More escalation!

[brave idol]

no, retaliation give bps

[fathom cloak]

maybe there's a youtube trick that makes it so escalation can give you bps?

[brave idol]

am i wrong>

[kind veldt]

apparently escalations also drop control points BP

[brave idol]

wow

[kind veldt]

so people who already have them dont see them

do remember someone posting a screenshot with the blueprint as reward

[fathom cloak]

ah, atp I believe I have them all. that's nice I guess.

[rugged pollen]

this game just froze on me while playing escalation and lost all my token wow

hot game man

[dusty walrus]

Hats 📴 to those who make this token system.. leader invests and others play .. none is available to play now 😔

Whole day stand infront of escalation... Trying to match make

[polar thorn]

I guess future maintenance would be long.

[candid radish]

Finally got memento! Thank you @opal marsh for helping! Much appreciated!

[polar thorn]

Nice, where did u get it

[mighty creek]

I don't remember deconstructing a Memento from my storage.

Where did I put it?

[polar thorn]

try think again, maybe you sacrificed it for exo comp

[mighty creek]

It's gone.

[polar thorn]

Welp, back to Summit you go

[candid radish]

Retaliation.

Kill squad.

[polar thorn]

Good job, now go whack some people with Striker Memento

[candid radish]

I plan to. Which reminds me. Gotta go ask this in build advice.

[feral knoll]

I had that yesterday, I accidentally a tipping scale chest piece. I was not.. pleased. 💀
Anyway, gives me a reason to run TS escalation when it rolls around again.

[polar thorn]

check pin or use buildstation app, search ImMrChow

[mighty creek]

Heheh, Mr. Chow

[polar thorn]

I think I wanna run Oxidizer Refactor once again

Feels fun to deal 1.2b Damage and Heal 💀

[feral knoll]

I love the odd oxidiser/ foam bro for escalation runs. Seeing half the floor covered in foam and massive piles of highly confused hostiles is hilarious.

[polar thorn]

I think imma bring Birdie just in case my team got completely wiped out

[feral knoll]

God we really are just walking Geneva Convention violations.

I mean I get the logic, when the entire world goes to crap, difficult situations require difficult decisions. But still.

[hoary glade]

Thoughts on hunter set?

Gear set i mean

[polar thorn]

Got mine ytd

[brazen elm]

they dont apply if it's not a war[citation needed]

[brazen elm]

great in solo but sucks in groups

[polar thorn]

It's like you're the rusher with The Mop

[gilded frost]

Ok grinded countdown for 9 hours today got from expertise 17 to 19 I hml

[spice gyro]

Are no set bonus builds still a thing? I just came back after 4 years and I have an m1a build that uses full high end gear

[edgy fable]

Rifles barely used anymore

[gilded frost]

There’s gotta be a better way to expertise the path I’m on is gonna take another 3 weeks

[edgy fable]

It just takes time

[gilded frost]

Would it be better to target loot gear mods and deconstruct for printer filament and donate like that ?

[hoary glade]

@polar thorn fight me dz

[brazen elm]

That's the way for printer filament, yes, but you're better off donating filament to gear you don't have or can't get and skills you don't use. Right now I'd wait for an expertise event before focusing on it

[hoary glade]

HOLY HOUNDSMAN BUNDLE

[gilded frost]

Any idea when’s next expertise event

[polar thorn]

sure after my shift

[hoary glade]

Next season highly likely

Does

Killing yourself in dz count as taking down agents?

[polar thorn]

what the hell

[hybrid ore]

GTA logic right there.

To be clear: no it does not.

[hoary glade]

Someone's killing themself over and over in dz

[polar thorn]

they probably used Oxidizer on themselves

[hoary glade]

Yeah but why

[hybrid ore]

They're working some stuff out, give them space.

Look, the DZ brings out all the weirdos. It's kinda its charm.

[hoary glade]

Is it just me or is the back button bugged

[opal marsh]

No problem! You're welcome! 😊

[agile night]

does the ambush event increase skill dmg or just weapon?

[inland widget]

Ambush makes Escalation so quick lol tf

[inland widget]

Weapon for sure. My crits are 3.5m-4.0m compared to 1.8ish

[spice gyro]

Okay I feel like shotgun build gets me killed way too much

[agile night]

about to test to see if it increase skill dmg on the range

def does unless im proccing something else i have no idea about

[shy warren]

So, I was thinking, why aren't we able to save class perks when we save a build?

It's really annoying to have to go back to base to change it. I change my builds in between missions so often.

Also, I find other classes apart from survivalist, sharpshooter, and gunner and engineer to be pretty much outclassed.

[brazen elm]

demo mortar is pretty strong if you know how you use it

[shy warren]

Man it's difficult to use.

[hoary glade]

We can?

[shy warren]

We can only save the class, not the perks.

[brazen elm]

you can save specializations, but you can't change the 15% weapon damage with it

[shy warren]

It would be really great if we could also snapshot the perks.

[shy warren]

You also have skill damage and duration in engineer

[agile night]

thats part of the reason why i made an alt so i wouldnt have to keep doing that.

[shy warren]

The issue could be sidearms. There are unlockable sidearms in each class. I think they can remove it and put them as a named item in-game.

[inland widget]

Striker Grupo or Petrov tonight pleeease

It can take a bit from what I've seen, I usually just reboot the game if I purchase premium credits and they always come in after a reboot

[vernal void]

Does anyone have that happen when you have quikfix but people still use their hive or manually revive other after you ran all the way into danger to pick them back up?

[hoary glade]

Countdown's dead tf

[feral knoll]

Generally running to revive someone in the middle of a firefight is a great way to end up downed. Safer to let a revive hive do the job.

[vernal void]

The point of having quikfix then?

Unless they are really far away

Yes do this in legendary difficulty and escalation

[feral knoll]

Just because you can res someone faster doesn't always make the most strategic sense, if you are much further away than someone else.

If that person's hive is also off cool down, it's going to trigger before you can do anything, which puts you out of pocket and not in combat which may be the more beneficial to be doing.

[edgy fable]

If it's communicated with the team the healer runs around to revive while the other players do their job and kill NPCs. Ideally

[vernal void]

The problem is that i already move to location and now standing awdwardly while they manually revive when i was already only one too late.

[feral knoll]

Yeah for sure, but in higher level situations, people are better to take care of the hostiles first if possible, and only res someone who is downed if safe to do so. Anyone who's flatlined isn't going anywhere anyway.

[edgy fable]

Maybe I'm spoiled by good healers but that's how it should be

[feral knoll]

Then don't. It's great you can heal people fast, but that is always going to be situational.

[edgy fable]

Yell at them

[feral knoll]

A pro healer is great, but in many cases the priority is to remove the threat first, then triage. That becomes critical at higher levels of difficulty and it's why people become conditioned to do what they do. Either the closest person revives, or bro stays out cold on the floor until the threat is eliminated. Running to save someone in legendary or high level escalation can easily just add to the body count and can screw over the team. It'

Or, more simply, one does not always need a hammer for everything.

[edgy fable]

The simplest solution to this is: the DPS player who is closer to a dead mate switches to Birdie's themselves. But that is probably expected too much for most randoms

[feral knoll]

Also at higher levels it's much more about keeping people alive rather than how fast you can revive. An ace healer who knows their stuff is amazing and I will always thank healers in a great run.

[edgy fable]

If the remaining two DPS players take enough aggro the healer usually doesn't even get shot at

So he has green lights to pick up the downed mate

If the threat shifts suddenly the healer can get downed and so does the remaining DPS player who shoots the NPCs

[feral knoll]

Indeed. Timing tends to be everything for a lot of it. If you're mid stride and someone else is already reviving, you shouldn't have been on the move to begin with, imo.

I've lost count of heroes running across the map to save people, being downed, and now we have two problems.

[vernal void]

Funny enough, i have done a lot that and only about 1/20 of those would be usually bad call. The rest were fine

Usually do not for someone that down in terrority that too hot. Honestly if you play too deep. I have limita lmao

[feral knoll]

If you establish up front you're a medic by buffing and healing people, then sure, I can see that. But if you repeatedly find others are doing your job, and you're not really contributing to the mission, then imma be real, folks are going to ignore you and make up the difference. Which sounds harsh. It is harsh. But that's what'll happen.

[edgy fable]

Most people are just happy to get through high tier Escalations lmao

Doesn't matter how, plus randos anyway

[vernal void]

Its more that they sometimes do it only but i already moved to intercept. About 8/10 times i have picking people up. It just 1/10 times i am already moved. Also yes i am buffing the team and healing them.

[feral knoll]

I've had the pleasure of running escalations with a few medics and the good ones aren't sprinting around the map, they're keeping people alive and keeping a low profile so DPS can get the job done. It becomes such a smooth machine. Great stuff.

[edgy fable]

If you have a mic, use it. If not, make it clear before you jump in

[vernal void]

Ideally i would prefer i not need sprint across the map though

[edgy fable]

Enlighten your fellow gamers with the "hotswap". Helps to have backups if you can't reach a downed player yourself

[feral knoll]

Also just be sensible. If someone else is closer and in a position to res, then let them and focus on helping the team with what DPS you have and focus on keeping everyone else alive. Being grumpy someone else on the team was in the better position is just nuts. Yes you can probably res that person in a quarter of the time, who cares, it only matters when it matters.

[edgy fable]

Or one of the two remaining DPS players throws a decoy (should be expected on high tiers) and both keep shooting the NPCs so the healer can rez

Sure there are exceptions if absolutely not possible but usually not the case

[feral knoll]

Sure. If the healer has to run out in front, then no. Absolutely not. Bro can stay on the floor until the jobs done.

[vernal void]

I wish i could run decoy but cuts into my heal capacity a lot. Escalation demand a lot of healing

[feral knoll]

Medic staying alive is basically more important than just about anything (including reviving crayon eating knuckleheads out of position). Anyway, feel like that topic has been done to death. So I'll shut up.

[vernal void]

Ideal i rather the group play more cautiously and not deep into enemy terrority to much. =_= i had a random decided to rush rogue in a ecalation. I had follow this man as they were my only dps i find.

[edgy fable]

Playing aggressive is good usually. Not brainlessly, ofc

[bitter tusk]

I got level 40 in less then 2 days is that sad lol

[zealous hawk]

Is there a difference in the proficiency gain between hard and challenging countdown or is it just more experience and better loot?

[tropic sentinel]

Don't do countdown on hard in any case.

[zealous hawk]

waste of time huh?

[burnt hazel]

Just make a tank build u will be invincible let everyone else do the work

[tropic sentinel]

Do you even find other players if you mm for hard?

[zealous hawk]

idk i never have lmao

[tropic sentinel]

Well, I doubt you would. People play either challenging or heroic.

And yes, it's a waste of time to do on hard.

[burnt hazel]

It takes a literally couple seconds to find one on Challenging or heroic

Hello fellow Agents

[feral knoll]

How do you do fellow kids.

[marsh swan]

got bugged while playing darpa

just shot the red wheel to open the gate and the whole game froze

[tender wave]

@harsh crescent please use the lfg channels when looking for players to group with in game

[marsh swan]

kinda losing my interest in playing this game after so many crashes... can't enjoy the game

[tender wave]

@little summit please use the lfg channels when looking for players to group with in game

[torn wagon]

escal strongholds should yield more field recon, recal and exotic materials srsly

[small zealot]

Is there an issue with connection currently? Having error codes stating the game can’t connect including delta-9’s but last mention I can see was yesterday on the x profile

[tender wave]

If there was an issue with the servers as a whole, this channel would be full of people reporting it (like yesterday).

[small zealot]

Yeah it’s why I am confused as I checked my router speeds and network performance speeds on both the router itself through the diagnostic tools and through the Xbox network speeds and it’s showing 100% connection and 300mbps to the console

[ionic shadow]

Dear Ubisoft, what are your intentions with this game? - Tuesday servers are very instable even update or no update so hard to play anything

• did last week tier7 escalation and game frozen.. After getting back in game and finish it 41 tokens were lost.. It's not the only time with this scenario and you are not compensating tokens but cores
  -Rotation loot in escalation but I didn't see future initiative or eclipse protocol.. Instead pistols, shotgun are 4-5 time rotated
  -87 tokens invest on tier 10 and 7 profit.. For a leader is not very nice.. Even if you are winning 10 rounds and lose 1 overall will be tokens lost.. Not mentioning the servers instability where tokens can be lost anyway
  Thank you for introducing prototype gear is a breath of fresh air in the game but can you please manage the servers, rotation of loot a little bit better? It's creating frustration in a lot of players and I think the purpose is to have fun in this game.
  Have a good day and please consider the aspects of this feedback 🙏🤍

[rich heart]

I'm happy for you. Or sorry this happened.

Depending.

[zenith urchin]

rogue agents in DUA escalation, dammit

one of them ran behind me the hell was i supposed to do

[tender wave]

C2c like mad

[tender wave]

This is probably best left here in the feedback section. https://discord.com/channels/477210626742288384/1380192935525482506
In this channel it'll just get drowned out by chatter

[zenith urchin]

i didnt have any cover to hide behind, dude literally beelined to the door at the start of the encounter (bar room in the second concourse)
i had to expose myself to one of the two agents to kill the other

[lethal moon]

My second run of DUA yesterday had this at the room where you have the pool table and the bar. I got immediately flanked because one went out the starting door for it.

[zenith urchin]

yeah same room same situation lmfao

[umbral oak]

Run back behind them

My friend wants to try district union so iam looking forward to the close quarters

[shut robin]

anyone done DU yet

[lunar hare]

want advice on that room?

[umbral oak]

Is that the room with the sleeping rusher or the room before books?

[lethal moon]

Yes

[umbral oak]

Fair

Room before books has enough cover in the entrance and the far right side, the right side also has less enemies too. Sleeping rusher room might be better to stay outside and funnel them since cover is too minimal for anything drawn out

But iam also stupid so someone else can give better advice

[lethal moon]

That don't work for the Rogues unfortunately.

[umbral oak]

Depends if they get a wild hair and start pushing

Sleeping rusher room still stands to funnel them from outside, since I've ended up dying on plain heroic runs in that room from bad placement

I never had rogues in the room before books so I can't say

[tender wave]

Yeah I've always only encountered rogues in the bar room (sleeping rusher) or the first garage area after Books. Generally try and peek from the arcade machines near the entrance, but if they push past then maybe try moving behind the bar, just make sure to use c2c when moving as it gives big damage reduction

[umbral oak]

The bar was my best bet most of the time but I don't know how well it would do in escalation encounters, especially since I would be dancing with them around cover alot of the time which isn't something you can do in escalation

[fringe nymph]

tfw your build is so trash you cant even beat hard mode retaliation

[umbral oak]

Retaliation scales weird so it's fine

[unique bramble]

This is like playing a slot machine in a Las Vegas casino and sending a letter like: dear casino, there was a power outage during my play and I lost my tokens/money.

[umbral oak]

Seems like people are deltaing specifically during escalations though

Even weirder it's case by case. My friend gets deltaed fairly often in escalation but I haven't at all

[hoary glade]

What's the highest armor possible

Like including expertise lets say the player built 6 shield cores

Assuming the prototypes results are all max defenses what's the highest armor possible if that's the case

Could it be 3 or 4 mil, just bored out of my mind

[brazen elm]

6 blues 30 expertise is 2.1m

[iron adder]

And the letter is sent to a customer group, not the actual company itself

[fringe nymph]

question, is the mantis just a trash exotic?

[lunar hare]

not in the slightest

[fringe nymph]

so its fine?

[lunar hare]

yeah

[ionic shadow]

Limited understanding 😊

[random laurel]

Oh boy cant wait to load up my favorite game and see what TL is on escalation today. Hopefully its FI today!

looks at pins hmmm. Well shiiiit

[lethal moon]

I mean Refractors up on Roosevelt. Not a bad deal.

[random laurel]

Its alright except how half of the set is locked to a blue core

[lethal moon]

Though targetted pistols is just sadge.

[torpid ocean]

when you die on escalation, you should be able to just spend more tokens to continue the run istg running the entire shit again is so boring

[random laurel]

Unless they lets us recalibrate in the future, there's no point at all

[lethal moon]

I think it's in the works. Just a question of when it comes.

[random laurel]

Yeah for real this aint a bad idea

Also keeps the theme of it since we are playing with tokens. A video game within a Videogame inception

Oh well. I could farm retaliation with PUGs today. Still need like 100 bps. Could be useful if they ever buff these named items

[feral knoll]

both escalation tokens and future potential for recal for proto has previously been indicated to be under review iirc, so it seems like the developer is at least listening and working solutions.

Sure beats "too bad" which some game developers are prone to, lol.

[torpid ocean]

i understand the late implementation of recalibration but this token system is just ass no matter what they do with it

[feral knoll]

they tried an idea, didn't really work, such is life.

[quartz breach]

Are we supposed to have rifle caches again or is it bugged ?

[tender wave]

If they made everyone in the group pay the same token cost and everyone got the total profit that currently only non leaders get (eg up to 25 for tier 10), that would solve a lot of the current problems

[feral knoll]

Controversial, maybe, but I'd prefer they try new ideas, even if they arne't always successful, than just plain not do anything at all. Which is the alternative.

[feral knoll]

mm, right now it's not really working probably as expected. They'll figure something out.

[torpid ocean]

how about yeet the token system and just let us pick the tier and get proto drops anyways

[austere parcel]

Hello guys 21 may update?

[hoary glade]

Couldn't be

[feral knoll]

blues don't do as much as you think, at least at a base level.

[hoary glade]

Damn

[tender wave]

Token system where everyone pays would stop people being able to easily leech off high tiers they're not really experienced/equipped enough for, which would also reduce frustration for those who can handle the high tiers

[hoary glade]

My day is ruined and my disappointment is immeasurable

[random laurel]

I actually did a bunch of 6 core blue build testing last month (for the hunters in Kelso master difficulty) and i think the highest i could get was like 2.2 million armour. (No expertise). I didnt test out the brands that give you armour but I'd imagine you can get well over 2.5-2.8 million armour with expertise.

[hoary glade]

But at least i got houndsman set now, goes well with faye lau's backpack

The drip is complete

[noble bramble]

These delta 3 is getting insane. I'm getting booted every minute.....

[brazen elm]

i personally think it should be like directives where you can pay tokens to activate modifiers and increase enemy stats for increased proto chances

[tender wave]

There's a livestream about it in able 3h, we don't know anything until then

[hoary glade]

Imagine escalation with directives

[brazen elm]

good god

[hoary glade]

How much of a masochist can you be to play tier 10 with all open world directives

The ammo issue itself is already a problem

[random laurel]

With rav and adrenaline rush. I think you can push over 5 mil armour

[feral knoll]

The Dripvision.

[feral knoll]

refuse; also there are already a ton of modifiers at higher levels, adding more is just redundant.

[hoary glade]

Tier 10 with all directives better be dropping prototypes every kill

[hoary glade]

True division end game

Man most high levels dress up their characters silly at least from what i've seen

[random laurel]

On a hardcore character

[gusty glacier]

Where did the day 2 challenges go for Ambush?

[mighty creek]

Funnily enough yeah.

[random laurel]

That would be the ultimate challenge that no one will do in years

[frank cliff]

C'mon been experiencing delta for 2 hours .

[random laurel]

The LASO challenge equivalent of division

[hoary glade]

I can imagine the BP levels going up

[random laurel]

Oh yeah. Most likely. Paradox is a must if the low ammo directive is on

[feral knoll]

Oh someone would do it. Because walking among us are people who seem to just not have a difficulty they can't brute force and do things that do not seem to follow the known laws of physics.

[hoary glade]

With how old the average division players are, RESPECTFULLY NO OFFENSE INTENDED. Imagine dying along side with your character

[feral knoll]

Bro.

[random laurel]

I dont even know what build would even work for that type of content. Probably a headhunter one. Striker would be useless since the low ammo

[hoary glade]

Headhunter would work

Have someone play smart cover for additional damage

[random laurel]

If people can one shot razorback and the raid bosses. They can one shot t10 npcs

[hoary glade]

Headhunter would work until the bots starts sliding in

[random laurel]

Someone tag me if anyone ever does this pls. I really want to see that run. Im a sucker for impossible challenges

[hoary glade]

Anyways im playing Punch Drunk, 3 imminence armaments, and chainkiller with memento rn

[feral knoll]

Folks solo Teir 10 like it's the third beer and they're just getting warmed up. It's disgusting. I love it. I'd be dead within a few seconds.

[hoary glade]

Absolute pistol build

[random laurel]

Get that punch drunk proto broski

[hoary glade]

Good thing i didnt throw away my harvest pistol

[hoary glade]

30% headshot crazy work

[random laurel]

Gives you massive damage
insert massive damage meme guy

[feral knoll]

I mean I do okay but yeah nah tier 10 is crazy.

[hoary glade]

Would be nice if we could reroll our prototypes stats

[hoary glade]

THE ONE CRAFTED BY PLAYERS AND NOT DROPS

[hoary glade]

With the same standard of stats when turning your gear into prototype, 1 maxed out at least per roll

And a chance to obtain 2 maxed out stats

Where then every reroll starts to get expensive like augments. I mean its not a bad idea right

[polar thorn]

I don't mind

[sage thicket]

When you've got nothing to prove to anyone you can run around in a Baham shirt, slippers and a pilot's cap.

[hoary glade]

How old you is grandpa

[vital aspen]

Will be ever be able to recalibrate or enhance prototype gear..? I hate those half-bars

[feral knoll]

tactical flip-flops.

[random laurel]

This is me. I am sorry bros

[sage thicket]

You live your best life, agent.

[random laurel]

But it looks funny, dont tell it doesnt

[sage thicket]

Exactly. If all else fails, you can kick the flip-flop in the enemy's face and then shoot.

[random laurel]

My drip game needs work

[polar thorn]

43

[hoary glade]

Hopefully we will be able to recalibrate the stats

[random laurel]

Bro reached unc status

[hoary glade]

And hopefully its the same as recalibrating exotics

[random laurel]

Im gramps status because im in my 60s

[hoary glade]

Reconfigure i mean

[brazen elm]

i'd be fine with proto optimization that costs proto cores ngl

[vital aspen]

I sincerely hope so

[hoary glade]

I feel like reconfiguring it will be the best case scenario

[vital aspen]

Me too, would best align with the sentiment of the prototype system

[feral knoll]

Weirdly it's the bro wearing shorts, some sort of sock-sandal thing and a Hawaiian shirt that badly clashes, who rocks up in matchmaking and proceeds to absolutely, positively, and without remorse, destroy every living thing between the team and the objective.

[hoary glade]

Makes it more end game gear (have to be a top gambler to get it)

[brazen elm]

like just give us a proto library

[hoary glade]

Tactical bikinis when

[random laurel]

Its me! I know that guy its me!!

[brazen elm]

hell i wouldnt even mind increasing proto core cost per recal/optimization

[feral knoll]

are you about to start the kelso bikini coversation again?

[hoary glade]

Cant wait for payday to get that sweet scent of houndsman outfit

[random laurel]

Except when the mission is art museum. Thats when I cower away

[hoary glade]

Nah next agenda is manny in bikini

[feral knoll]

absolutely not.

[hoary glade]

What's hotter than a grandpa wearing a 2 piece

Blessed it thy to the eyes

[brazen elm]

Keener and manny pinups

[opaque lion]

everyone who got it for free:

[random laurel]

Summer event is soon tho. Hopefully we get more haiwaian shirts

[hoary glade]

-insert that one yellow cartoon character making a fist-

[random laurel]

I actually bought a haiwaian shirt irl yesterday. Yeah im that guy bros

[brazen elm]

Beach event with keener bossfight in speedos

[torpid ocean]

everytime i go into my map tidal basin is invaded

[tropic sentinel]

Nah, it's gonna be Wally.

[opaque lion]

last summer we actually had something pretty close to a beachwear

and a free version

[feral knoll]

it's always invaded, basically, once the story mission is done. Can flip the mission type if needed.

[torpid ocean]

no, the cutscene plays out

[feral knoll]

oh noooo, okay.

[hoary glade]

Its like that always

[brazen elm]

that happens every week i swear

[lethal moon]

Oh good lord not again

[hoary glade]

Anyways completed tidal basin legendary

[random laurel]

Always happens after the week resets. Its like a mini intro but gets old fast

[feral knoll]

I haven't fully recovered from last time.

[torpid ocean]

i know but it should be once every week, not everytime i open the map

[hoary glade]

Probably experienced the purgatory of hell for a good 30 minutes. But im done

[lethal moon]

Wasn't that like over a couple weeks ago?

[random laurel]

Yall want bikinis but I want a nice linen shirt

And a pink suit. Miami style

[hoary glade]

No one told me about the amplified laser turrets, with several sniper warhounds and a bunch of chungas all at the same time

[lethal moon]

Objection. The midriff from the new outcast outfit is good for me

[tropic sentinel]

Maybe change mission type to manhunt, it could shut it.

[random laurel]

I also want a sombrero

[hoary glade]

The top being a garbage tarp will always be funny to me

[lethal moon]

Rocking that fashion "post apocalpytic trash"

[feral knoll]

who would have picked outcasts recycling clothes and bags.

[opaque lion]

Hyenas definitely do that too

[hoary glade]

Dawg we can pick up outfits from abandoned bags outcasts chose to be dirtbags wearing dirt

[random laurel]

Oversized hoodies tho. Gotta stay cozy while doing missions

[random laurel]

For real. Our agents probably didn't wash it beforehand, probably stinks of BO

[hoary glade]

LIKE THERE'S LITERALLY FREE OUTFITS IN THE ABANDONED CITY, i imagine the outcasts seeing a thrift store and a dumpster and they went "hmm dumpster better drip"

[torpid ocean]

they should fix it not me

[tropic sentinel]

Ubislop fixing something?

[hoary glade]

You guys ever stop to think if outcasts ever bathe

[feral knoll]

probably, but not using an in game option in the mean time so you keep seeing the animation is sort of a weird choice.

I'm going to bed before @hoary glade gets more ideas. xD

[random laurel]

I dont think even the people at the settlements bath

Cuz who's doing maintenance on the sewers and stuff

[hoary glade]

They have time for exquisite sandwiches, i think they have time to bathe

[feral knoll]

and fish tacos...

[hoary glade]

I'll never ever stop hating on the settlement's propaganda

[random laurel]

Love me a fish taco

[hoary glade]

Id be a rogue agent if it was an option

[random laurel]

Bro is dragov

[hoary glade]

While everyone's living the tough apocalyptic life the settlement's all rainbows and jolly

[brazen elm]

i mean that's kinda the idea, living conditions in the settlements being better

[hoary glade]

Its to the point where they bring wooden bats in a minigun fight

[feral knoll]

I dunno man, one settlement never lets anyone in, the other is effectively a work camp, and a third was blasted with toxic gas.

[random laurel]

Inflation is affecting even after the apocalypse

[hoary glade]

Imagine monopolizing the resources of the other factions and your faction didn't even bother to give you proper arms to fight

[random laurel]

What about the NY ones

[tropic sentinel]

Yeah realistically those settlements would be wiped day 1.

[hoary glade]

Genuinely disappointed when i didnt see settlement fighters using black tusk equipment after we raided their control points the first time

[brazen elm]

imagine if there was someone that could get enough weapons to arm an entire settlement twice over

[random laurel]

They're probably fingerprint locked like it is in metal gear 5

[brazen elm]

i could imagine their tech being encrypted or something

[hoary glade]

I was expecting that the settlement npcs that spawn from those control points will have equipped at least weapons from those specific factions but i guess i raised the bar too high

[feral knoll]

bro (who is like 5 foot 4 and built like a playing card) with a 9 iron beating the snot out of a chungas will not stop being hilarious to me.

[random laurel]

Bro is built like me

[hoary glade]

Praying they add a ragdoll system where a settlement npc just flies through your screen after getting yeeted with the chunga's mini gun

[hoary glade]

Fair

[random laurel]

Anyway. Gotta make some brekkie mates. Need my gamer fuel ™️ for later

[fallow idol]

Roosevelt it is today

[drowsy tendon]

scout 8... exactly what do they mean by "executing?" i've done a public execution and it didn't do anything

[fallow idol]

Make sure you don’t have any retaliations

[drowsy tendon]

i don't have any. i actually finished outcast's before doing that

[fallow idol]

That’s the only thing I can think of as to why it’s not tracking…. All retaliations have to be at 0

[quick spade]

ouh cool update again so THAT WHY THEY KICK ME FROM ESCALATION AGAIN

[uncut harbor]

Has to be outcast execution in downtown west I think

[drowsy tendon]

oh outcasts. i'll wait for them

[uncut harbor]

Took me ages to get it ysday

[hollow hill]

Blended onions?

[drowsy tendon]

i'll wait until the two CPs get taken over then. i took them both thinking that was the Scout meant by "taking over their homes". turns out i had to only kill flamethrowers

[hollow hill]

Lmk when your breakfast is Ogre so we can continue this conversation

[drowsy tendon]

i didn't even realize DW only has 2 CPs

[tender wave]

Reset CPs and maybe also clear the weekly invasion up to DUA to increase the chances of outcast activities spawning in the area

[drowsy tendon]

yeah

[shy warren]

I recently crafted Ravenous and found it quite underwhelming. Why so much recoil? It works quite well with Tipping Scales. How do you guys use the weapon.

[hollow hill]

Problem is, it's awful on tipping. Lastly, ravenous is god awful to use as a main gun. I do have a build that makes it work but it still requires a lot of skill to make it work

[agile night]

its the only reason i use core strength. then just stack handling on top and it hits like a truck and the bonus armor is amazing

[hollow hill]

Rifles also bounce around a lot too which makes them kinda bad to take (not even that but they shoot too slow)

[shy warren]

The weapon handling from TS helps with the recoil.

[elfin hazel]

it's nice for taking out dogs and armour on tanks which is really the only time I use it

[hollow hill]

I use it to delete enemies since you can use the stack burts to deal burst damage

[hollow hill]

Yeah but so does taking 3 Zwi. Which will spec you into rifles

You also won't be reliant on shooting for stacks either. Just hitting your target. And immediate up front damage

[agile night]

eagle grasp also helps if i remember the name correctly.

[hollow hill]

Taking eagles on a ravenous build is a direct nerf. Overdogs exist

Not taking overdogs with ravenous is leaving behind a TON of damage on the table

3 zwi, Ceska bag w/ Vigi, Fox's prayer kneepads and overdogs. Roll everything as crits

You'll have plenty of handling from 3 zwi and gunner stationary perk gives handling. It makes ravenous pin point

[agile night]

i rather have harriers pride, eagles grasp, core str, 6 skill tier and deflect drone. but i use it as a solo tanky build

[shy warren]

Oh yes! Breaking point works too with ravenous. It lets you stack a lot of damage

[hollow hill]

💀

[light ruin]

What's the easiest way to farm escalation tokens

[hollow hill]

Breaking in this case would also be a nerf with how the mechanic is. You're better off going high end

High end gives you damage and handling, the setup I gave. It's the most optimal setup

[hollow hill]

Memento would do you better than pride. By the time you even benefit from the bag you're already dead or have wasted 3 kits

In order to benefit for damage you need to use an ACS12 to stack it lol

Also, core strength does very pitiful damage and eagles grasp isn't doing you any good besides being able to shoot straighter, reload quicker, and swap guns faster

Which doesn't matter if you're hitting for the damage of a staple gun

[agile night]

it lets me RP walk through a room and tank the damage as i delete things.

[hollow hill]

Tanks also don't exist in this game like typical MMORPG games would have you believe. You'll die just as fast as if you were all red with no skills or armor

[hollow hill]

What difficulty do you play on?

[agile night]

heroic

[hollow hill]

In groups or solo?

[agile night]

i told you i run it as a solo build

[hollow hill]

Anything can clear heroic as well so

True test of builds is Legendary/Master/Tier 6 Escalation. Anything past T6 requires some proto

[agile night]

i wouldnt really count legendary anymore. master and escalation have kind of left it behind.

[shy warren]

The difficulty in escalation missions is artificial.

Isn't master between legendary and heroic. Legendary kills most builds and you end up with few options and team composition.

[elfin hazel]

I mean yeah there's not really a whole lot you can do to scale difficulty that high this late into a game like this

[agile night]
