[weak plank]

thnx

[river stone]

Anyone know where I could make a suggestion for the game?

[unique bramble]

#1380126780152614944

[cyan echo]

Anyone know how to get the apartment gun?

[civic ridge]

Named Caches / Dark Zone Vendor or Drop

[unique bramble]

Or craft it from reconstructed caches

[ornate quest]

do we know if this PvE DZ will have selectable targeted loot or is it just luck of the draw?

[civic ridge]

I can't imagine they would make it targeted

[ornate quest]

me either

better pray for the mask/yahhl allocation sometime this century

[cyan echo]

Is the dz vendors on the outside of the dz or do they still have the daily one?

[civic ridge]

each dz has its own vendor outside. no guarantee they'll have it this rotation

[cyan echo]

Thank you

[civic ridge]

NP. Pretty sure I must have gotten mine from a named cache.

[dapper belfry]

Hey is there something going on with countdown rn cause everyone been leaving me

This is like the second match that I been threw

[golden raptor]

For the holloman you’re better off just farming reconstructed caches for the BP

I dont think yaal ever comes on targeted loot, like system corruption

[ornate quest]

oh i have the bp i need the yahhl penna material for it

[golden raptor]

I see

[serene badge]

Anyone got any tips on how to get the rock n roll shotgun ?

[golden raptor]

Target loot shotgun on countdown and pray the hunters drop it for you

[serene badge]

I thought it is DZ exclusive and it won’t happen in countdown ?

[golden raptor]

Dont think so

Maybe it is dont know. Again if you need dz exclusive stuff you’re better off farming retaliations and crafting reconstructed caches

[hollow ore]

It's a DZ exclusive

[serene badge]

So anything that is DZ exclusive can drop in retaliation?

[hollow ore]

It frequently goes on sale in the countdown vendor. But follow what smivvle said

[torn wagon]

is division always on sale when the new season begins?

[hollow ore]

It goes on sale frequently to boost player numbers

[golden raptor]

Not retaliations themselves but the broken watches you get as reward you can craft reconstructed caches and get any named item blueprint from them

[serene badge]

Thank you I’ll do that

[stoic swan]

Will there be Strech Goals coming up for this season pass?

[golden raptor]

I think its 7 broken watches for 1 cache and then its just rng hoping you get what u need i need matador one but no luck yet

[frigid merlin]

Dttoc kinda useless in escalations alot of the time, when enemies are all suppressed smh

[midnight epoch]

I could not disagree more. 99% of my kills are not in cover in Escalation.

You can easily learn spawns, and you can kill them before they have a chance to be a problem

[sudden meadow]

It also matters more against enemies that don't take cover like chunguses

[frigid merlin]

It's because everyone is running lmgs

[midnight epoch]

As they should be

[frigid merlin]

Literally have like 5 enemies all suppressed and not moving

[plain trail]

escalations is just poorly designed

[frigid merlin]

Then nobody wants to walk up and engage them

[serene badge]

What would a better attribute be ?

[plain trail]

they added fake difficulty by giving the enemies a billion health instead of upping the difficulty through other means

[frigid merlin]

Health damage

[midnight epoch]

DTA/DTH/Crit

[sudden meadow]

I run ARs myself so HPD is built in, but DTTOC > DTA >HPD > Crits are my order of importance

[midnight epoch]

But it’s not actually better. Just an alternative

[frigid merlin]

Especially those true sons engineers and medics, alot of em spawn and just hide lol

[plain trail]

you can just kill them as they spawn though

[frigid merlin]

We talking escalations u can't just kill em

[serene badge]

So just wondering is it better to have CHD or HD for an attribute

[plain trail]

i'm not a big fan of escalations personally

design-wise, due to how they made tokens work and also due to how they scaled difficulty lol.

[midnight epoch]

DTOC > Crit Chance > Health > Armor > Rof

[plain trail]

might just take some time to play warframe or poe and come back to try escalations in 6 months

[sudden meadow]

agreed on that. it's a poorly designed game mode that relies on sponge and damage to outscale you for difficulty. It's the same issue people chastised them for in Div1.

[serene badge]

I thought DTOC is pointless because the enemies are barely in cover ?

[plain trail]

and try it again once they fix all the crappy parts

[mighty girder]

enemies are often out of cover

[plain trail]

yeah imo i liked legendary cuz they gave the white-clothed enemies different skills to make them more dangerous and stuff

[midnight epoch]

DTOC is best in slot. He’s making an argument that it doesn’t have 100% uptime

[frigid merlin]

In my games they are always in cover , but usually true sons only

[serene badge]

Ohhhhhh out of cover I got it

[sudden meadow]

Right, Damage to targets out of cover. You're thinking the opposite.

[serene badge]

Oh gotcha yeah I see it now

[sudden meadow]

For sure, the drone spam got kinda annoying but atleast there was a work around for it. In Esca, it's only more damage and all reds.

[midnight epoch]

I think every game developer has this problem right now. They don’t want to add actual mechanics or challenge or unique enemies, they just scale the hp number.

[plain trail]

yeah the drone spam was annoying af but ultimately it was a challenge to overcome rather than a simple dps check

[frigid merlin]

Escalations kinda feels like div 1 legendary

[sudden meadow]

Why put more work when number go up is so easy?

[plain trail]

yeah i think this is something that ARPGs actually do really well,

[zenith urchin]

should i buy the smg or glove proto caches

[plain trail]

ie: map mods in poe are a great way to add difficulty without just scaling hp and dmg

[midnight epoch]

Oof.

[frigid merlin]

Enjoy the rng

[midnight epoch]

I think they are gaining a lot of traction in the past few years. Lots of things done right for players. Not perfect.

[plain trail]

but yeah that is one aspect i think core division does well

with all the different enemies having weakspots that can be exploited

ie: heavies having ammo packs

[hoary glade]

Devs really have a weak naming sense for kneepads

[frigid merlin]

Not the Rogue agents

[plain trail]

I think that's fine lol

rogue agents and hunters are supposed to be boss/mini-boss encounters

[random laurel]

"I used to be an agent like you but I took a shotgun blast to the knee" -unknown agent

Tfw when you get 108 kills in district union and your teammates combined only did 44 ☠️ one was using hardwired and the other refactor

[spring pebble]

Would be sick if you got something from playing the test servers to help them with their game

[random laurel]

Bro with the will Smith shrek. That goes haard

[hoary glade]

Ninja kneepads
Nurse kneepads
Sawyer kneepads ToT

Idk if the nurse kneepads is true tho, apparently it gives 40% hazpro to nearby teammates

[random laurel]

They need better names like sawyers titan legs

[zenith urchin]

frenzy gr9 is so silly

RAVENOUS BP

[fierce badger]

About it the names for exos could have been 100% more original than what they are.. but no complaints

[grim charm]

Still waiting for my Satan Death Ownage Mask of the Crimson Beaver Demon

[kind veldt]

It is

[jagged canyon]

So much bruh. Why does kickstarter only take creditcards.

I wanted to get the tabletop game but I can either fill in a credit card number or use link and fill in a credit card number anyway what even is the point?

Sorry wanted to rant bc love the division and this is just sad

Guess it's back to good old TD2

[brave idol]

how do you get backpacks tropjies from classsified asignments? did 3 of them, got nothing

[feral knoll]

Have to complete all of the puzzles and unlock the room where the trophies are; can only acquire once. They are in a small SHD labelled case.

[brave idol]

There are puzzles? I guess i should watch videos

[feral knoll]

The mission report before leaving will confirm if it's been completed, so it does warn you.

[brave idol]

Didn't see any report. Did everything manny asked me

[feral knoll]

It's on the exit.

[feral knoll]

Yes assignments are basically a giant puzzle mission.

[brave idol]

i mean i completed all objecties killed the guys did not see a single puzzle

[feral knoll]

They are not obvious, friend, have a quick look for videos for each. All will become clear.

[hardy rover]

Orrrrrrr do the puzzle as puzzle intended and use your eyeballs

(Some of them are dumb)

[feral knoll]

Yes, but if one doesn't notice any puzzles and doesn't read the note that shows an incomplete run, I guess some help, is helpful.

[hoary glade]

I wonder

[random laurel]

They're like Zelda puzzles bros. Gotta backtrack and look at the background details

[hoary glade]

The first ones to complete the hunter easter eggs, what drugs were they on to go "hmm so i activate this laptop then the laptop in the other building then go to this pool right here at night and them emote to summon 2 hunters"

[random laurel]

Luck i guess

[mossy dawn]

I thought escalations was tough, but defeating the recruiter at camp white oak is even harder, we finally managed it after a lot of retries

[hoary glade]

ToT tfym luck

What about the graves where you salute to in a specific sequence at night

[mossy dawn]

You after the Hunter spawns? @hoary glade

[feral knoll]

Some folks will pull the entire game apart if they see a pack of cards at a jaunty angle, because that might mean something. They're wired different and find such things.

[hoary glade]

Later for the new york dlc hunter

Already done halfway, lost interest when it went delta after i finished the puzzle

[mossy dawn]

You’ll have to make sure you’ll destroy the lights first at the monument, then stand next to the pole and salute, it will spawn

[hoary glade]

Already done the DC hunters

The wony hunters are tedious compared to DC

I already have the black dye where specifically can you get that

Iirc i opened the vendor boxes with textiles and got black

[mossy dawn]

You got the solid black dye after defeating all hunters in Washington

Like full blacked out? What vendor boxes? I don’t think it’s fully black like the dye you get from New York

[feral knoll]

I should really finish the hunters in DC and NY.

[hoary glade]

I remember

Buying the kitty backpack bundle thinking that's the only way to get black dye

[fierce badger]

Unless you're trying to prove something just do them on normally could be all right.

[mossy dawn]

You on Xbox, wanna team up? I think full team makes it easier when the other players are high damage @feral knoll

[hoary glade]

The most hassling hunters were the one that grouped up with 4

[feral knoll]

I'm on PC.

[mossy dawn]

Was confused because you got all platform roles lol

[hoary glade]

Didn't take long to kill them but damn do they hit like a truck

[feral knoll]

That is the point, they exist to delete agents.

[hoary glade]

The first hunter i did was the one where you hit 4 targets

[fierce badger]

Have you got the ones in DC where it's for hunters against One

[hoary glade]

I ran core strength drone build and boy did i get humbled so fast

[feral knoll]

They can hack assault drones and turrets so don't use those lol.

[hoary glade]

I did finish all washington hunters so maybe?

Like i got the 8 ivory keys and smth

[mental heron]

I honestly gotta ask: does anyone actually use healer builds in this game?!

[wind falcon]

best is use foam and anything to disable them when they trying to heal or they are about to activate something

[hoary glade]

High tier escalation and legendary

Incursions and raids too

[mental heron]

I’m honestly amazed…..Never seen one playing escalation 5+

[hoary glade]

ToT they'd get wiped out so quick without healers

[lean breach]

you really dont need a healer in T-5 with the mods and the hive coming back so fast

[mental heron]

Trust me the last four groups needed a healer. Only ever seen ppl use reviver and decoy.

[hoary glade]

Tier 6-7 is debatable

8-10 definitely

[lean breach]

i guess teh modifiers wasnt on huh..?

[mental heron]

What one the event modifier?

[lean breach]

Not the GE

[mental heron]

GE? Sry I’m shit with acronyms.

[lean breach]

the seassion mod's

[lean breach]

Goble event GE

[mental heron]

Nope.

[hoary glade]

Refractors healer good for this event ngl

[dapper belfry]

Hi

[hoary glade]

Higher damage output on drone means higher healing

[dapper belfry]

Can striker be healer build with st Elmo

[lean breach]

nope waht..? If you dont even know what the GE is then I can understand why you dont think healers are good in the game

[hoary glade]

Nah you need to play pure healer for maximum potential

[dapper belfry]

Man that suck would be pretty funny and cool tho

[hoary glade]

Skill repair mods, skill repair gearset, btsu gloves or birdie

[mental heron]

It’s not that they aren’t good it’s the fact over NEVER seen one

[hoary glade]

You could also play btsu gloves with the setup and scorpio you wont deal much damage but you'll provide 40% damage boost for your teammates to your targets

[lean breach]

well there are seasson mods, and at the moment there is a GE kinda gotta figure that part out

[dapper belfry]

Ngl I kinda want to make healer build is the healer build in build sheet guide

[hoary glade]

Yeah

Future initiative's good for starters

[dapper belfry]

Found it thx

[hoary glade]

If you want to make use of the GE, you could go refractors

[dapper belfry]

But sadly it the photo is so blurry

[edgy fable]

Yes

[hoary glade]

All you need to do is stand behind a wall and just let your turret do the work

[dapper belfry]

Hi inf u saw the dmg with my striker i was doing

[dapper belfry]

Seem light work lol

[edgy fable]

Yup, good numbers

[dapper belfry]

🙂

[wispy dock]

Sad day it is today

[lean breach]

why

[dapper belfry]

What happen mate

[wispy dock]

Nothing that major, just destiny 2 ended it’s development

[dapper belfry]

Oh ye it is sad day for that

[lean breach]

wrong discord and good.

[wispy dock]

I know

I started the division 2 cause of destiny 2 after I got tired with it

[lean breach]

after them calling my people latinX i was overly done with them that is super rac....... never mind wrong area for that

[wispy dock]

Your Hispanic?

[lean breach]

Im Mexican yes

[feral knoll]

Turns out Bungie was the final shape. Anyway what is, is, can't do much about it. Very long time coming. Let it go, fellas.

[wispy dock]

I’ve let go of destiny 2 for a while, just wasn’t expecting this news

[feral knoll]

#off-topic-discussions is probs the place for Destiny 2 talk though.

[wispy dock]

Indeed

[feral knoll]

Finally rocking rat queen drip, actually all the sets for the current event are pretty rad.

[wispy dock]

I’m more so siked for the new hunter coming to Brooklyn

Another friend for the wall

[fierce badger]

I fellow Hunter of hunters

[feral knoll]

Yeah, Y8S2 seems to be shaping up pretty good.

[wispy dock]

Not gonna hop on TD2 for a hot minute due to another game I’m also currently grinding out

[fierce badger]

😑 traitor

[leaden dagger]

Okay can someone explain how i just saw a person only 440SHD roughly and had level 30 expertise weapons?

[hardy rover]

Diehard min-maxxer with the recent expertise event probably

Or, are you referring to protos

[leaden dagger]

I believe the weapon was a prototype

[soft venture]

i dont have access to the pts how do i get it

[hardy rover]

Then that’s why lol, prototypes are always exp 30

Regardless of your own expertise level

[leaden dagger]

Then what's the point of expertise now lol?

[wispy dock]

It’s space marine 2 though…

[hardy rover]

If you want to upgrade things to prototype that you can’t get naturally in missions like Lexington, you need exp 30

[leaden dagger]

ahh fair enough i suppose but still that's insane 95% of tthe old grind can be skipped now

[hardy rover]

Not really, exp 30 is now more relevant than ever

[wind falcon]

if u want perfect stats without gambling with drops on prototype u need 30 for upgrades

[hardy rover]

All the striker pieces I got from escalation are sub 20%

So when I get exp 30 I’ll be able to upgrade my original set and they’ll all have max damage % at the minimum which isn’t guaranteed in just farming escalation

[leaden dagger]

I thought all prototype gear (say strikers) that rolled weapon damage cc cd if it was prototype it couldn't be lower then non prototype maxed stats

[hardy rover]

Well yeah but why would I be content with 17% and 19% when I could have 22%

[fierce badger]

Campaign or PVP?

I know this, that new no shade level no mastery rank level dark zone is about to breed a whole new level of "they're cheating" bots that this game is never seen before

[woeful marsh]

so next update isnt crossplay yet. damn

[sacred schooner]

Nah, in the dev stream they did mention that it’s still being worked on and that it’s going along well. They want to make it as perfect as possible and are working through the clan system and the option to opti in or out of crossplay as a setting

And other stuff that could pop up as problems with it

[woeful marsh]

I'm just glad they're finally doing it. No reason not to be crossplay in 2026

With all other modern ubisoft games being crossplay I figured it was only a matter of time

[polar thorn]

Either they drop it in Halloween or Christmas

[sacred schooner]

I agree with you. It’s amazing to finally have crossplay soon. To be fair to them, they were stretched thin as a team for a couple of years and didn’t have the manpower or resources to do something like crossplay

[sacred schooner]

I’m willing to bet it’s gonna be around when the new incursion drops or the Central Park dlc. That’s just my predictions. Halloween does sound like a possibility

[polar thorn]

The game was at the brink of death, Ubisoft almost abandoned this game.

For whatever reason, the devs managed to attract new base players ( I'm one of them )

[polar thorn]

Mind you, current server is unstable sometimes.

Crossplay requires huge upgrade and precision coding in order to avoid screwing around these spaghetti codes

One small mistake may lead to lots of maintenance in the future.

My prediction would be 2-3 days maintenance in order to fully deliver the crossplay update.

[sacred schooner]

It’s was so close to having it’s support cut but the Brooklyn dlc I think was the secret sauce they needed to not cut it. Then the anniversary event helped out a lot

[polar thorn]

3rd shooter enjoyers are looking for this type of game

[sacred schooner]

I agree with you. Anything could happen with crossplay being implemented. I would not mind at all if they took as much time as needed to be sure crossplay works smoothly instead of rushing it out.

[polar thorn]

As much as I'm gaming since elementary school, I never heard of DV1/DV2 until one of my friend introduced it by the end of anniversary event

[polar thorn]

Good thinking, I don't know if thousands of other players would agree with us.

[feral knoll]

both division and division 2 flew under the radar a bit, eclipsed by other ubisoft titles that tended to get most of the budget and advertising time. From what I understand a small team within Ubisoft fought hard to keep div 2 going. It's going from strength to strength now (Brooklyn helped but wasn't a huge success; anniversary event brought a lot of people back and onboard however) and probably will get a small boost from ex Destiny 2 players.

[polar thorn]

A very good backstory about DV2, I'm glad they didn't give up on this game.

Hopefully the game continues to rise up

[feral knoll]

if the game continues to see uptake, and given the apparent success of the mobile version, good odds Division 3 will see the light of day.

[random laurel]

You could say the backstory had core strength

Ok ill shut up

[polar thorn]

😭

[short axle]

Do xp rewards from priority obj multiply during events?

[paper canyon]

Hi!
I bought the deluxe pack and received the Lullaby, but with wrong / bad rolls.
I also bought the blueprint for the reconfiguration of the Lullaby now but I can´t reconfigure it, it says the crafting requirements are not met and it shows 0/1 for the Lullaby.
But I have the Lullaby in my inv and also all other components that are needed to do the reconfiguration.
Are there some other steps I have to do to reconfigure the Lullaby?

[desert harbor]

Words

[ruby nimbus]

any solid xp farms when there's no xp events? is it still just national bond armory with all directives?

[polar thorn]

Yup

1m exp per 3m, use determined 1886 with headshot build

[zealous hawk]

Does NBA work for earning brooklyn event XP and global event XP? Classifieds don't let you do globals do they

[ruby nimbus]

you can do globals for nba, ran a couple last week and was getting 1 star after every run

[zealous hawk]

Maybe it was the seasonal modifiers that don't work in classifieds?

[ruby nimbus]

yeah those dont work

I'm low 100 shd level and does not seem like people do this farm until there is an xp event. I had just missed the last one they had

[polar thorn]

nope

[leaden hull]

hmmm , let see if you mark it as favorite or something else , or maybe un equip it first

[native cipher]

hello i need some help with a misson on master

[feral knoll]

try asking for assist in #lfg-pc or your current platform

[dapper belfry]

Man I hate control point

[native cipher]

@feral knoll noted

[dapper belfry]

I am tired of getting third party man in control point lol

[celest maple]

meow

[mighty creek]

Whuh?

[polar thorn]

Which master mission gives Sheriff?

[lean breach]

so the essy mission that have mods are they broken or do you get rando pro toe loot

[feral knoll]

random proto, the mods are standard drops.

noting that it's just extra loot.

[hardy rover]

🐟

[feral knoll]

if you want to farm cores, other missions with targetted loot would probably be more efficient.

[mighty creek]

omg its the

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

[celest maple]

yummers

[celest maple]

the one and only here in the division discord server

[lean breach]

is it a proper amout of protoe drops, yeah I know no pro toe mods hahaha

[short axle]

Tinkerers still isn't working properly

With prototypes in particular it refuses to put both talents if one is high end

[feral knoll]

define "proper"; if you mean the same as targetted loot? no. less. a lot less.

[nocturne totem]

so sad %90 of players in division does not have gaming sense

[grand depot]

So its just a chance to get exotic bps from retaliation completions?

[feral knoll]

it depends on the talent; back and forth and other weapon swap talents are excluded. Named weapons are also technically excluded, however a standard primary and named secondary can sometimes work.

[lean breach]

Yeah thats what I mean by proper and its less you say..? Dang some days rando loot can be fun haha

[short axle]

I know but the frenzy measured combo isn't working

[feral knoll]

that would be the caches, which for the cheapest are entirely random.

[feral knoll]

check in #ask-td2-community as you can post screenshots there to confirm there's not some issue somewhere. 🙂

[lean breach]

yeahh thats true.

some them i get them 🌲 taughts LOL

[valid mesa]

Delta

[undone nebula]

Is pve dz permanent keep or limited time

[hybrid ore]

It's going to be specific to next Season, as it's tied in with the Modifiers for that.
But they've said it might become permanent if it's popular enough, although likely not straight away.

[undone pond]

Is the Houndsman Bounty possible to do atm?

[mighty creek]

Not without anyone who has it.

[undone pond]

Would you possibly know someone that has it?

[mighty creek]

You're looking at him.

[near spire]

is there any method apart from logging off and on to spawn a outcast public execution in downtown west? been trying for past hour or so and all i get is either BT or ~~Hayinas ~~ Hyenas one, this is for this weeks scout.

[lunar hare]

hayinas

[undone pond]

Would you be willing to do it with me?

[mighty creek]

I can set up the bounty but you're on your own. If I'm present when the bounty is completed, I will lose the bounty capiche?

in-game name?

[undone pond]

Oh okay

madAdam__

[stray mason]

whats the fastest way to grind out the brooklyn event pass, spam retal or strongholds?

[latent crest]

i’m trying to do the scout week 8 but i can’t do it in downtown west black tusk are invading everything and i need to kill outcast

anyone know why?

[kind veldt]

priority objectives

[hoary glade]

Heard caduceus is out in pts can someone send the talent description

[desert sundial]

Do you guys think there should be an event at some point where they put all the previous limited time bundle available in the store for a short period of time?

[hoary glade]

I'd rather discount vouchers in season pass

[kind veldt]

you can read in the patchnotes

crits heal for 1.5% of the damage

[hoary glade]

Damn is it for self only or including groups

[kind veldt]

group

[hoary glade]

Is the rpm good?

Im outside so cant check rn

[latent crest]

i’m trying to do the scout week 8 but i can’t do it in downtown west black tusk are invading everything and i need to kill outcast. does any1 know why?

[hybrid ore]

@latent crest Clear the mission+blockade, other faction's stuff starts spawning at a greater rate.

Just did it myself last night, and got an Outcast PE within 5 minutes.

[kind veldt]

it's a MK16 aka scar-L

[latent crest]

i tired that and it never worked

[kind veldt]

think it's 650 by default

[latent crest]

i had the whole area green , it was str8 black tusk

[hoary glade]

That's yeah

[kind veldt]

did you clear the invasion?

[hybrid ore]

You may need to clear a few BT activities, you don't want the CP's all green.

[hoary glade]

At least higher base damage than elmo amiright

Probably gonna use it more on a high end build

[kind veldt]

it has higher base damage than elmo

you can look at an Mk.16 in game and take it from there

[hoary glade]

Alr

[desert sundial]

Has anyone dropped the St Elmo recently? I’ve been doing Priority Objective for three weeks now I’m starting to believe it’s not in the pool

[lunar hare]

it is, try other content like Challenging Countdown with AR TL

it also seems like you're relatively new, check out our Lvl40 Starters Guide

[desert sundial]

Ok thank you, I’m SHD 160 but I feel like I need to learn more

[mighty creek]

Just now yes.

[mighty creek]

I can give you a random exotic right now. Whats your in-game name?

[desert sundial]

Leflashkoska

You can give exotics? And thank you I appreciate that

[mighty creek]

Give me few mins. In a mission right now.

[mighty creek]

hax, trust.

[wild raptor]

Anyone else getting hit with delta rn or just me

[undone pond]

Thanks got it!

[desert sundial]

Do I have to be ingame?

[mighty creek]

yeh bruh

[kind veldt]

you can only share things with others who were there when you got it for a limited time

[mighty creek]

Alright

[desert sundial]

Just turned off my computer 💀

[mighty creek]

rip

[dawn hawk]

what makes my hive rest faster to heal my sheild

[hybrid ore]

@dark cobalt You're looking for #lfg-pc, GL Agent

[loud bay]

This game crossplay yet?

[mighty creek]

No sir. No one knows the exact date.

[edgy fable]

Some time 2026 was said

[loud bay]

Im surprised it isn’t by now with how much money they make per year. But who am i to judge

[mighty creek]

In the last stream they were having technical difficulties implementing the system. Mainly when you try to join another clan that comes from a different platform. And how you can turn off crossplay as well.

[loud bay]

Hmm…

[drowsy tendon]

RAAAGHHHH FINALS ARE OVER

[brave idol]

why are retaliations full of people who has no clue what to do?

[lunar hare]

same people who think they should get Prototype before anything else

[brave idol]

they stray away die and kill the clock

[small bramble]

I just go immediately from point to point

[feral knoll]

Folks seem to be inclined in the middle of a retaliation to-OH LOOK SQUIRREL.
The things that matter are kill squads, control points and staying together, everything else is basically irrelevant.

[small bramble]

Shooting squirrels takes away 1 sec

[feral knoll]

indeed; do not shoot wildlife, it reduces the timer (I mean I do not like hitting the local fauna anyway).

[small bramble]

Sometimes they just get in your way

[polar thorn]

Remember, care for the mother nature.

[brave idol]

Exactly. Especially new folks who never did solo retal never learn this

[slender night]

Anyone still have the Houndsman Bounty ?

[mighty creek]

Too bad you're on a different platform.

#td2-general-chat message

[dapper belfry]

Hey inf can I farm armor stuff for my library stats in countdown

[edgy fable]

Yes, sure

[dapper belfry]

But it just rng right

[edgy fable]

Retaliations is a very good alternative

[edgy fable]

Everything is RNG

[dapper belfry]

Cause I need 12% crit dmg

On my need pads

[edgy fable]

Then set your TL to kneepads and keep farming

[dapper belfry]

K

[edgy fable]

Good luck

[small bramble]

Well you could also just run around till you fill up your inventory then see what you can improve in your library

[cobalt stirrup]

Can someone tell me what "Team Damage" is in a mission complete scoreboard? I see it' s individualized but don't understand what it is.

[feral knoll]

the ravenous BP, oh nice.

safehouse and there are 20 copies of the radio going.

[silver venture]

Does anyone have a bounty for the quick step pistol

[elfin hazel]

someone in #lfg-playstation might

stretch goals should be soonish too and I think they drop from those caches

[vocal hamlet]

Bruh why some players in escalation go hero and die every 10 seconds

[mighty creek]

Someone in no access might.

[elfin hazel]

this is wisdom

[fierce badger]

Lack of knowledge of the risk they know that they're on the team and think that somebody's going to pick them up at all times, not realizing that it is a high risk situation and putting yourself at risk puts the team at risk.

[vocal hamlet]

Yes

[fierce badger]

Biggest pain I've run into with escalations is everyone seems to think that it's a race.. everybody's quick to die instead of sitting back and evaluating the situation.. that's why run solo now, if I die it's on me nobody else. I don't have to worry about blowjobJoey over here Rooney for everyone.. at the same time I don't have to worry about myself messing up because we all do we're all guilty and costing other people their situation.

[feral knoll]

To be fair it is a bit of a race, it depends on the control point count; 2 is chill. 4 is .. not chill till at least the second point is captured.

[vocal hamlet]

Ah that's deep bro

[vocal hamlet]

4 with waves of kill squads

[fierce badger]

We're talking escalations not retaliations, retaliations yes it is a race but the meaning goes the same you can't do nothing as long as there's one teammate trying to be commando Rambo and hurting the whole team

[small bramble]

I mean until you get a 44 min timer for retaliation one time

[fierce badger]

44 minutes can turn into 3 minutes real quick with a bad teammate..

[vocal hamlet]

This is true

[small bramble]

Teammates? Never heard of them

[hoary glade]

Guys whst does manhunt mean

[fierce badger]

It's a situation that happens in the dark zone.

[elfin hazel]

for DZ?

someones on a kill streak if you're asking for dz basically

[hoary glade]

Damn so i get punished for killing too many players?

[elfin hazel]

I think there's rewards for getting it to a higher level

[edgy fable]

Higher stakes

[feral knoll]

oh, escalations; sorry half asleep and did not read correctly (perpetuating the reality that Div2 players can't read, lolol).

[fierce badger]

It's not punished I mean some try to get that because it means better outcomes for you if you can beat anybody that comes for you.

[edgy fable]

You will be displayed on the DZ map frequently so people know where you are and they can hunt you down

[hoary glade]

I became a priory target ggs

[edgy fable]

Yeah, go on

[feral knoll]

I believe in you.

[hoary glade]

Priority

[edgy fable]

The higher your streak the better the rewards. There are terminals where you can end the manhunt and claim your rewards

Those terminals are also shown on the DZ map

[hoary glade]

Okay okay so at the 3rd terminal i end manhubt?

[edgy fable]

You can end if it you want, yes. But be aware that the interaction time is quite long and you might be killed in the process if you are solo

[fierce badger]

Oh you're fine believe me half the time I'm on here I'm either half asleep or drunk or on my way to getting drunk lol.. it's the life of a single man 😊 if you ever need any kind of personal advice or anything like that on the game just let me know you can DM me that goes for everyone else reading this too

[hoary glade]

Maximized

Last terminal what to do

[feral knoll]

go all the way, do it

[fierce badger]

Who is here believes that cross play is going to entirely crash the servers? ..

[hoary glade]

ToT 2 squads hunting me wth

[elfin hazel]

would be surprised if it did

[edgy fable]

That's why they're still working on it, trying to avoid any of those issues

[elfin hazel]

I think the increased player count could hurt the servers a bit but I don't think crossplay itself will do it

[open bolt]

i was trying to play with my bf tonight and the whole game crashed lol

[fierce badger]

They got a lot of work.. I work IT engineering for 15 years.. if they plan on keeping the same engine and background that they do I got a lot of work..

[edgy fable]

Considering that for years they said it's not possible and some recent dev comments it is for sure a massive undertaking. Idk much about the technical side of things but I can very well imagine that

Personally I find they should take as much time as they need to minimize future issues, no rush. Ultimately it's been almost eight years so a few months longer won't change anything

[hoary glade]

That was doodoo

[fierce badger]

I can get that.. one thing that gets me is people don't truly understand how bad and difficult coding is they think it's oh well let's just punch in a couple of numbers, far beyond that. And it gets me that these Joe blow nobodies want to criticize the devs on their job when they know nothing about it and how difficult it is.

[edgy fable]

It's just the average consumer expectation, ultimately. I get the excitement but they should also understand that things might take a bit to be realized

[fierce badger]

Then you get people crying about oh they want this much money for this? God forbid that they should actually charge someone for something that way that money can go towards the company the employees the people that keep the game running God forbid it

[elfin hazel]

you mean to tell me maintenance nights arent them just turning the servers off and then sittin around for 3-5 hours

my whole world is crumbling

[edgy fable]

😄

[fierce badger]

I'm going to have to ask you to shut your mouth and quit giving out secrets it/they

[elfin hazel]

my fault yall

I've grown numb to it honestly it's more of a problem with how the industry on the player side has shifted to being far more entitled & hostile

[fierce badger]

I'm not going to lie I'm honestly uncomfortable with how much I agree with you on that

[elfin hazel]

becoming more active in this community (even before becoming mod) has truthfully made me infinitely more sympathetic to devs and overall a kinder person I think

still bugs the hell out of me though

[edgy fable]

Entitlement for sure

[hoary glade]

Man belstone named backpack hard to drop

[feral knoll]

look it's very easy, anyone can do it, there is no skill, I am an expert on how coding works, I have no facts to back up my claims, but some dude on reddit said it so, gospel in my book. Right?

Look, the game has some issues. All games do. I care a little less about the bugs and issues and more about the intent and effort of the developer. Their heart seems to be in the right place, and as long as that continues, I don't have a whole lot to complain about, really.

[fierce badger]

I mean think of it I mean like it's just a tiniest little inconvenience in the world and the entire community well not the entire community but a select few is like where's my compensation

[edgy fable]

Forget it. Go farm Retaliations and get the blueprint after a while. Then you can keep crafting until you have the rolls you want. Chasing that drop in the DZ is like the needle in a haystack

[elfin hazel]

I should get a random piece of maxed proto gear AND a full scav reset for each delta I get honestly

I'm a veteran after all

[edgy fable]

What sucks a lot tho is the wasted tokens from the Deltas

[elfin hazel]

this is true

[edgy fable]

It adds up to be quite a big sum over time

[hoary glade]

Yeah I'll just look for a chd chc piece

[feral knoll]

it's wild to me how much people expect to be rewarded for when the game takes a bit of a womble, as if the developer owes them it. Most other games it's tough luck, princess, get over it.

[elfin hazel]

I hope it's something that gets worked on with all the other token changes soon enough

[edgy fable]

You talking about Deltas?

[elfin hazel]

would have to imagine its going to be because I doubt they want to give out what was it like 7 whole prototype caches and some other stuff each time servers have issue

[feral knoll]

Deltas, the rare times the servers are down, when the wind blows from the northwest.

[hoary glade]

Full stack memento with core strength and capacitor hella broken in dz rn wth

[fierce badger]

This is very true! Of all the games I played over my 40 years this game gives more compensation than any other I played

[hoary glade]

Wiped out 4 man team

[edgy fable]

I was surprised we got kinda compensated for the extended/second maintenance recently. That's not necessary IMO

[feral knoll]

Still believe in you, go get the rest of 'em. xD

[edgy fable]

But the Deltas are a real issue

[hoary glade]

I already restored shd

The rewards were ass tho not even a maxed out stat and most of em were holsters

[fierce badger]

Prime example!! Never expected that but got it!!

[hoary glade]

Do we get higher drop rates while on manhunt status?

Got 5 exotics under 20 minutes

[fierce badger]

Am I missing something manhunt status that's dark zone.. you don't have any increased anything in there it's just drop or don't drop get gangster don't get ganked I'm trying to extract

[hoary glade]

Ah guess its luck then

[fierce badger]

@hoary glade are you talking dark zone?

[hoary glade]

Yeah

[fierce badger]

Oh yeah I know you got lucky 100%

[hoary glade]

That was hella fun tho, first time getting hunted by the players

[fierce badger]

What level are you

[hoary glade]

They weren't able to do crap but still

1.3k

[fierce badger]

Well props my man good for you

Now do that about 40 more times and then you can prototype one single piece of armor or weapon. Lol

[twilit cipher]

was just doing summit an got to 76 an could not find way up to next floor id killed everything but could noy find stairs or a door or some where to get up to 77

[fierce badger]

You look up at the roof.. sometimes you get to climb up a box to get to the next floor

[twilit cipher]

yeh no joke could not find it lol

[fierce badger]

Can you find it?

[twilit cipher]

ill try again latter

[hybrid ore]

There's sometimes a couple of crates below a hole in the floor.

[edgy fable]

Look for yellow tarps as indicator

[hybrid ore]

IIRC they removed having to shoot boxes to actually open doors, as that was confusing newbies.

[twilit cipher]

yeah the marker kept takeing me to a door way but there was no hole like normal i must of missed something

[fierce badger]

See that's the thing about the summit you don't know what floor you're going to get it's all random me and my buddy did this side by side on two different accounts started from floor 1 to floor to 100 and not a single floor that we got was the same

[hybrid ore]

Yep, the layouts are randomised, except for every 10th, and Floor 100 of course.

[fierce badger]

The only thing was the same as when we got for 100 those hunters whooped our ass at the time

[twilit cipher]

thats a good thing its not all the same wont get boring

[hybrid ore]

Fun fact: originally difficulty in Summit couldn't be selected, and would scale up as you went up in Floor numbers.
e.g. 0-20 was Normal, etc.

[fierce badger]

That's why it's the best.. that's why I miss undergrounds from division 1

[twilit cipher]

i will never get to the mega lvls i see i cant do same thing 1000s of times it just gets boring no disrespect ment

im 355 right now 1000 is where watch maxs right? long way to go

[fierce badger]

Then they replaced Hunter and countments with rogue agents and I think they need to well I think what they should have done is it should have been a mix of DDD rogue agent detected or just a clear silence and a hunter involved and he's going to get that ass

[twilit cipher]

i think once people hit 1000+ hunters an rogues should be every time they step out an everyting should e auto set to max

[fierce badger]

Honestly I think that what that's what killed the vibe of hunters was they made them a commodity Just one time thing get their mask then they're done.. they should have kept them alive and well and especially like the creepers that we get in open world what they should have done with that is you you see that you know it's there but if you can look around and if you see them and shoot at them bam you're engaged and then you have to fight that Hunter but it's two times three times harder than rogue agents

[hybrid ore]

If you want to keep fighting Hunters, there's plenty of places to go and do exactly that.

[twilit cipher]

10x harder for the real high people lol

[edgy fable]

I think it's more like when they revealed their background, their story and everything. At least to me, they were no long enigmatic and "scary" after that

[feral knoll]

yeah no, I do not want to leave a safe house or fast travel to a mission and then immediately be ganked by two hunters every single time.

[hybrid ore]

Hunters:
Floor 100 spawns group size+1 (down from the original massive crowd), the start and end of Countdown spawns them too, as does the new PvE DZ's extraction.

I'm sure I'm missing some.

[fierce badger]

No not two hunters, I'm talking the random encounters that you get open world and you can choose whether or not to engage with it like it's the same thing we get now with the interference and if you can spot them you choose whether or not to engage by shooting at them.

[hybrid ore]

Those are the Puzzle Hunters, and there is a metric ton of those.

There's no reason to re-fight them, you can find Hunters elsewhere.

[feral knoll]

So on the end of saying hunters aren't special now, just have way more of them? Which sort of makes them even less special? Hmm. Bold strategy Cotton, let's see if it works out.

[hybrid ore]

12 in DC, 13 in NYC, and IIRC 8 in Brooklyn.
(although some of the NYC ones are also in DC)

Actually 9 for Brooklyn in a week.

Oh and don't forget ones like Ruin in the Climax mission.

[fierce badger]

I was talking about making the random encounters something you can engage with.. don't expect anything from it it's just a bit of fun.. Jesus you people are not fun whatsoever

[edgy fable]

I want more rogues in the open world tho

[fierce badger]

I do as well that's that's not a disagreement

[feral knoll]

Basically we already have that; I mean more things in the open world would be good, so I agree on that front, but effectively hunters and rogues are supposed to be a bit rare; I feel like being able to trigger both pretty much constantly (which would end up being the outcome) kinda changes the dynamic a bit. That's all.

[edgy fable]

Rogues would just add more fun to the open world where you don't have any challenge at all

[hybrid ore]

Take over some CP's to spawn more Rogues.

they also spawn in roving packs.

[edgy fable]

Doesn't really happen to me

[hybrid ore]

When I was farming with a friend on lower difficulties I got basically none, but Heroic is when they started flowing in.

[fierce badger]

Okay so you're saying the same thing I am.. the only difference is once we get into that position of open world and we know that there is something there and are you I goes that little fuzzy we're like okay there's a hunter here can I find him.... So you start looking... And if you spot him you can shoot at him.. if you shoot him he attacks instead of running away.. that's what I'm saying it's totally a player's choice

[small bramble]

Now I’m not an big d2 player but the rogues should’ve been replaced with hunters but idk

[hybrid ore]

Now that we know what Hunters actually canonically are, them just attacking us in the street makes a whole lot less sense.

[edgy fable]

Yeah I'd agree. Rogues make more sense

[fierce badger]

At no point in time has anybody said that rogues will be replaced or should be replaced by hunters..

[hybrid ore]

I'd prefer Rogues.
For a start: no hacked skills.

for another: group size+1 makes them an actual fight.

[small bramble]

Yep I now enjoy the rouges

Those little shits hack every 5 secs

[fierce badger]

You ever played division 1 undergrounds?

[feral knoll]

I think this comes down to a desire to have a Legendary world level to be honest. Rogues are scary in escalation but I would not want to face a teir 6+ hunter. That just sounds like hell.

[small bramble]

Nope

[hybrid ore]

@feral knoll Legendary LZ is not possible without a massive (heh) redesign of the way div2 works.

[fierce badger]

Then you don't know the joy of actually fighting hunters and not expecting something afterwards

[hybrid ore]

@fierce badger Tone down the attitude, it's a discussion, not a competition.

[fierce badger]

Where is the attitude?

Is it in the room with us

[hybrid ore]

Basically, the Legendary enemies (White Tusk), have different spawn mechanics and AI that makes them require tailored environments.

[feral knoll]

yeah, but a lot of what this sort of discussion rolls around is that we've been so power crept, people are keen for anything that increases open world difficulty. Hunters and rogues are a challenging fight so naturally folks gravitate to that.

[fierce badger]

Hold on guys I'm still trying to find the attitude did it go somewhere I'm not seeing it?

[hybrid ore]

Escalation scaling I can maybe see happening for the LZ, but not Legendary.

@fierce badger That's enough.

[feral knoll]

It's okay for people to disagree, doesn't mean I don't think your ideas have merit, lol.

[small bramble]

I could see it but I’ve don’t personally see it

[fierce badger]

Tell that to the hallway monitors

[feral knoll]

My fellow, you're not being attacked, in case that's the assumption.

[hybrid ore]

At least think of a new insult, it's getting old.

[fierce badger]

It's a regular thing especially when that particular hallway monitor is online

[feral knoll]

Daily TL resets in a hour, place your bets.

[hybrid ore]

Oh hey there it is, knew that one was coming.
@fierce badger You've been told to drop it, just drop it.

[feral knoll]

not really relevant.

[fair scaffold]

speaking of reset, has anyone kept a running tally of what each day has been or no

[edgy fable]

You can see the history in several discords

GCROCK for instance

[hybrid ore]

It gets posted to reddit daily as well.

[elfin hazel]

gear mod, skill mod, pre fix core strength, umbra & 5.11

[fair scaffold]

i don't really follow div2 outside of this discord; i'll check the reddit

[hybrid ore]

The previous days don't impact what's coming in the future, just an FYI.
It's entirely random.

[fierce badger]

I think they managed I'm not going to lie to you you probably get better advice from Reddit then you would here..

[hybrid ore]

As you can probably tell by the fact we've had gear mods more than once.

"better advice on the div2 reddit" is a wild statement.

[feral knoll]

Reddit is about as accurate as I am at eyeballing distance. I try, but I'm way off. Same thing.

[small bramble]

Reddit is good for entertainment

[hybrid ore]

Up next "use div2 youtubers for good builds".

[fierce badger]

Interesting considering I've gotten better advice on builds and developed better friendships off of Reddit then I have this discord...

[elfin hazel]

we yes we are all using AI builds

[fair scaffold]

yeah no, i just haven't been on very much the past few days so I was wondering if there was an at-a-glance list of what i've missed

for curiosity's sake.

[feral knoll]

Reddit is a collection of opinions in a trench coat.

[fierce badger]

Reddit operates under the same code AS discord does so by your logic so does discord and this group..

[feral knoll]

Anyway, none of that is really relevant for this chat, and I'm hungry so sustainance wins for now.

[unborn ravine]

Ladies, you're all super pretty, its okay. Eat a snickers, you're not you when you're hungry.

[fierce badger]

The only difference between this and Reddit is you have a personal hallway monitor that can censor certain people at certain times.

[feral knoll]

I never said discord was reliable. Making assumptions and then running with it doens't add a lot of credence. Let's just agree to disagree. I don't need converting.

[elfin hazel]

reddit got those too brah

we aint special

[feral knoll]

Reddit is like the hallway cop capital of the internet, in other news, the ocean contains water. And I am done. Find someone else to argue with.

[fierce badger]

Yeah but the ones in Reddit didn't get bullied in high school and have some superiority complex

[elfin hazel]

thank you for the fanfiction I will frame it on my fridge

[fierce badger]

Point in case

[small bramble]

Yall are talking like redditors on a political thread

[edgy fable]

WHAT?

[feral knoll]

Is it a full moon again? I'll check.

In a week, okay then.

[fierce badger]

As Doctor who...... stated the truth has been spoken

[elfin hazel]

theres been rumblings of pregaming the full moon being the new strat

[edgy fable]

Sir, I think you had enough tonight, the bottle of booze seems to be empty :S

Just thinking of the builds that are "recommended" on reddit makes me throw up in my mouth

[fierce badger]

You know what the problem is had no booze, but now that you mention it!! I shall have a drink or two

Maybe four or five let's see what the night does..

By the way I'm on Xbox if you guys want to play together my gamertag is go R3d p0int

[edgy fable]

PMCR here

[fierce badger]

Regardless of however people make me ugly to be I'm always here for you no matter what

[feral knoll]

nothing surprises me, genuinely.

[hybrid ore]

I may be too old to understand this one, but "pregaming the full moon"?

[unborn ravine]

Not even the new incoming PvE darkzone?

[fierce badger]

40 year old potential Grandpa what the hell is that

[fair scaffold]

Personal Master Computer Race ?

[feral knoll]

No, it's been requested for pretty much the entire life of the game, it would appear the developers have gotten to the point of adding it, probably so people would stop (asking).

[unborn ravine]

It has....?

[hybrid ore]

People were asking for one back in div1.

[fierce badger]

Wait a minute technical computer components have a race?

[elfin hazel]

people "pregame" social events by drinking before hand so I'm joking about acting weird before the full moon hits

[edgy fable]

PCMR oops 😂

[unreal wraith]

looking to get a group going pm me

[hybrid ore]

Ooh, yeah sorry I don't think that's a thing in australia.

[elfin hazel]

it may be one of the most requested things in the whole series

[candid radish]

I’m still waiting for someone to answer you on this, because I’m also curious. 😂

and it has been. 🤣

[edgy fable]

#lfg-pc

[feral knoll]

I was late to Div 1, and that convo was still going. Folks be wilding for PVE DZ.

[fierce badger]

Yeah I've watched that episode of Doctor who that's how the Cybermen started f*** off bud..

[elfin hazel]

one of the first things I remember being asked for in this game was pve dz

[hybrid ore]

The first thing I asked in gen-chat back in like, 2017, was that if I could go "solo" in the DZ.

[unborn ravine]

I've never ever, ever in the history of ever, seen anyone asking for a pve DZ in either of the two games 😂

[edgy fable]

I think that caught everyone off guard lol

[small bramble]

There already is a pve DZ it’s called the rest of the Map

[hybrid ore]

I love the atmosphere the DZ's all have, the environmental story telling.

[edgy fable]

Temu Survival until the actual survival is out

[fierce badger]

If you're a full grown adult taking PVP serious your compensating for something in your life that you failed at

[hybrid ore]

And that's a mute.

[edgy fable]

Everyone picks what they enjoy in this game - PvP aspect used to be fun before it got neglected and cheaters took over

[feral knoll]

It's also the classic of "people want what they cannot have". So there is always high demand for things the developer has said "no" to in the past. Just human nature I think.

[unborn ravine]

Like survival...or Last stand..

[feral knoll]

Yes.

Credit where it's due, though, the current DIV2 team are on fire lately and being pretty receptive to feedback.

Lots of updates, fixes. Broken armour now repairing, I still cri.

[edgy fable]

I'm a bit confused about the PvE DZ. Technically, it's not a DZ anymore due to the rogue mechanic removal and therefore PvP getting removed.
Might as well be called something else entirely.
Oh, and when you die other players can pick up your loot I've heard. Like, wtf

[candid radish]

Is it that bad still? Don’t believe I’ve ventured into the DZ since I started playing on PC. I’d only wanna do pve stuff in the DZ. I don’t really care to kill other Agents. I prefer to just run around with some and help.

[unborn ravine]

Still waiting for the PvP balance pass >.>

[edgy fable]

Currently it's as bad as it's ever been

[feral knoll]

There is a dedicated resource on it, and they are making progress, so hold tight on PVP fixes.

[unborn ravine]

I also, do not understand this. Makes no sense to me.

I also thought the DZ's that weren't invaded were also already normalized..

[candid radish]

Damn…no how am I gonna get loot that’s only from DZ?! 😔

[unborn ravine]

Named item caches

[small bramble]

Lame

[edgy fable]

You wait until the new season goes live?

[candid radish]

So many names items though. 😭😂

[edgy fable]

I really hope that the SysCor and Yaahl drop rates will be increased...

[feral knoll]

the DZ is technically PvPvE with extraction thrown in; it's not like conflict where it's purely PVP. This is just the developer doing what was asked, make a no-PVP DZ. It's a trial, and may never happen again. Depends.

[unborn ravine]

Theres like...2? Or am I crazy and have just been playing this game too long

Oh nevermind. I understand you lol, just keep grinding

[candid radish]

Oh? What changes with a new season?

[small bramble]

I mean it’s still pve your just with other players

[edgy fable]

We will get a PvE DZ

[candid radish]

Ooooh very cool.

[small bramble]

It better atleast be DZ difficulty

[feral knoll]

There is a toxin type mechanic that'll slowly make it harder and harder to remain in the PVE DZ without mitigation, and they're adding hunters I believe? So it'll be spicy.

[edgy fable]

It's supposed to scale by player amounts

[unborn ravine]

Don't call it a darkzone though...call it like..a contaminated zone

[fervent cobalt]

I might be too early but is the pin for escal tl updated for today?

[hybrid ore]

Some clarification:

You get a massive boost to DZ tokens if you play in one of the 2 non PvE areas. 
It may become a permanent feature, but likely not stright away. ```
Feedback for it is very highly requested, and can be posted over in [#1380126780152614944](/guild/477210626742288384/channel/1380126780152614944/)

[feral knoll]

too early, lol.

[candid radish]

Not hunters! I hate them! 😩

[fervent cobalt]

Okay thank you! Apologies xD

[elfin hazel]

will be asap

[hybrid ore]

@fervent cobalt Same time each day, In about 40 minutes.

[edgy fable]

I'd rather take THAT as permanent feature over the companions 😄

[unborn ravine]

So if it becomes permant, we lose a PvP zone lol. Sad times.

[small bramble]

They are easy tbh just don’t use hackable items

[fervent cobalt]

Gotta love the mod team for their helpfulness here ❤️

[small bramble]

Except the Emps ones

[hybrid ore]

I would love if they added companions to the PvE DZ area. Although can imagine the logistics would be...tricky.

[edgy fable]

"Weekly" changing DZs will be a huge change, daily might be better

[feral knoll]

It will rotate between the 3; so 1 PVE, 1 PVPVE with no watch, 1 PVPVE as is.

[polar thorn]

Good thing I don't have to grind Yaal anymore

[hybrid ore]

The "no watch" DZ has a 200% buff drop to DZ credits btw.

[fervent cobalt]

Really hoping the companion system has some level of upgrades or customization but at the end of the day... PLZ ROBO DOG 🙏

[hybrid ore]

and they're adding exo comp caches, and proto caches to the DZ vendors.

[edgy fable]

Don't forget the toxic environment in the PvE DZ, Yaahl will comes in very handy. For the real DZ even more

[unborn ravine]

Am I crazy...or isn't the current invaded DZ the only one with the watch and expertise?

[small bramble]

Warhound?

[elfin hazel]

ur crazy

[polar thorn]

got myself max hollow man

[candid radish]

I hope we get a robo dog. See how stupid Black Tusk likes it! 😂

[edgy fable]

That is for Escalations currently lol

[hybrid ore]

@fervent cobalt That's actually been discussed, and the devs stated they didn't want a time limited mode to potentially have paid cosmetics that would vanish.
Honestly, I love that attitude.

[fervent cobalt]

Yes! Imagine we get a warhound, could even have the different mounts for it as swaps 😄

[unborn ravine]

I must've missed and update, because I swear thats how it worked in the last pvp changes lol

[fervent cobalt]

Mm that makes sense

[polar thorn]

Harsh but true, I kept 2nd hollow man with 10% hazpro

[queen hollow]

fckng DELTA EVERYTIME!

[hybrid ore]

@queen hollow Cheap flights though.

[unborn ravine]

Suncountry is cheaper than delta

[fervent cobalt]

I figured out crafting chests or masks has a 1/6 of dropping yahl so i managed to get the mats to craft my hollowman. Just good to have if needed and i have it on my higher escal tier loadout

[feral knoll]

Could do with Tipping Point in the Escalation rotation today; I accidentally the wrong chest, of two. Sad times. 🙁

[hybrid ore]

Why 1/6?

[fervent cobalt]

There are 6 brands the random brand mask/chest roll and those include the yahl

[hybrid ore]

6 brands?

[edgy fable]

Uh

[hybrid ore]

I hate to tell you this, but there are more than 6 brands in div2.

[edgy fable]

You might misunderstand something ^^

[small bramble]

There’s like 20

[fervent cobalt]

No no in the crafting station, the random brands crafts only out of a set list

[feral knoll]

lolol.

[edgy fable]

36

[hybrid ore]

What you're likely thinking of, is that it's a 1/6 chance to get a mask piece from Yaahl drops.

Crafting a random brand shouldn't be able to drop a Hollowman at all, at least from what I understand.

[fervent cobalt]

No i mean it drops a yahl item, i dismantle then use those to craft hollowman. My bad

[edgy fable]

No, you just get the materials and you'll need the bp to craft a named item

5 fabric per craft, you get 1 fabric back per dismantled item

[hybrid ore]

Oh then yeah sure go for it.
Also keep an eye on the Clan Vendor, that has a chance to include a Yaahl piece each Weekly Reset.

[wet shuttle]

why does ubisoft support suck so bad no attmept to fix my issue

[hybrid ore]

Last time it had one, I stocked up to 999 and went on a crafting spree. Got 4 double red Hollowman's out of it, so I'm set for life.

[edgy fable]

Yeah IDK what's up with your issue. Been reported a lot with the most recent PTS's

[hybrid ore]

What is the issue?

[wet shuttle]

and they dont do anything no attempt to try to fix it either

[edgy fable]

He does not have access to the PTS; it's missing from his game library

[hybrid ore]

Ubi-connect on PC, right?

[wet shuttle]

yes

[fervent cobalt]

So crafting a random brand mask has a possible drop of:
Badger tuff, china light, D&H, Gila guard, R&K and yaahl.

Loaded up to check i wasn't nuts lol

[hybrid ore]

I just restart a bunch and it's there.

[wet shuttle]

ive done all the trouble shoooting there is as well

[edgy fable]

All brands

[hybrid ore]

It has a chance to drop any brand, and improvised.

[wet shuttle]

like no attempt onn the part of ubsisoft to do anything

[hybrid ore]

Which is 37, 38 next Season.

I've got a minute, I'll craft a bunch and show you.

[fervent cobalt]

I'm not so sure as it really only feels like i get the listen ones. Might be crazy

[dusty walrus]

After three days there will be open world PVE darkzone ... Great to hear ☺️

[hybrid ore]

@dusty walrus Next Season, not in 3 days.

[wet shuttle]

like whats the point of even having a support page if they dont wanna do anthing

[edgy fable]

RNG be RNG

[fervent cobalt]

Well not complaining lol!

[wet shuttle]

i havent played a single game today because of this

[edgy fable]

I also saw your post in the Ubisoft discord. Probably busy

[hybrid ore]

Is there some kind of setting to show PTS' and the like?

[dusty walrus]

Any guesses today escalation loot changes .... I am betting for strikers and UA

[edgy fable]

It is supposed to be in your Ubisoft game library

[dusty walrus]

Afterall it's weekend... More players will be online in this game 🎯

[edgy fable]

When the PTS went live for the companion season many players had the same issue. I've never heard of a "fix" client side

[wet shuttle]

@inf so i even tried uplay://launch/5492 in win+R but it says i dont own the game

[edgy fable]

Ubi April told someone to DM her in the PTS discussion forum but I've not heard more

[hybrid ore]

Do not DM the admin staff without being told to directly.

[wet shuttle]

and i told them this its most likely a backend liscnesing problem that they need to go in and change

[edgy fable]

If it is not in your library I doubt there is anything you can do

It's not a launching issue per se, it's just not available to some ppl for whatever reason

[wet shuttle]

well at this point it seems like the staff truly doesn't care Ubisoft and The Divison in a whole they dont care about there customers

[feral knoll]

Ultimately we probably can't do much for you and on the contrary, Ubi is likely busy running the PTS and chasing up feedback.

[edgy fable]

If it comforts you, the support as always been bad. Now that it's time sensitive kind of for you I get the frustration

[feral knoll]

I get the frustration as well, but telling the people who can help you that they are hopeless and bad probably not really the best way to go.

[edgy fable]

Who cares when it's true tho

[feral knoll]

I don't think I can see the PTS either.

Never mind, there it is.

[pliant sentinel]

I CANT SEE JACK SHET IN THIS SANDSTORM

[wet shuttle]

I'm not wrong though, am I? Ive accepted the fact that they wont do anything. I remember back inn the day when it was still called Uplay and they had a phone number sure it took forver to get a hold but at least back then u didn't get a bot generated response and 9 times out of 10 it got fixed. now even companies that have phone lines u gotta get pass the ai now as well

[edgy fable]

It's usually at the bottom

[feral knoll]

Outside of uninstalling and reinstalling the launcher, probably not much can be done without Ubi support.

[wet shuttle]

Tried it though

[feral knoll]

It's absolutely not showing it under Ready to Install? You do have the space free for it?

[edgy fable]

I think you are SOL but keep bringing it up. You are supposed to have access on UbiConnect

[wet shuttle]

ive cleared the cache as well

[hybrid ore]

It should appear like this

[wet shuttle]

like i said its not there at all and yeah i have about 4tb of free space

@hybrid ore nope doesnt show

[hybrid ore]

There's a link to the support discord over at the top of #rules, or in the game settings.

[wet shuttle]

ive gone over to there

[elfin hazel]

hotshot
refactor
gear mods
golan
striker

[polar thorn]

what's TL for today

[elfin hazel]

everyone go to space admin again

[hoary glade]

STRIKERS

[feral knoll]

[elfin hazel]

.

[polar thorn]

oh sh

[signal marten]

Get the lfg posts up ASAP for strikers & free tokens

[elfin hazel]

backpack & pistol caches

[edgy fable]

Gear mods again - but Striker's compensates for the rest

[polar thorn]

the moment my shift ends at 10:30 PM, this game hates me so much.

[fervent cobalt]

Striker, refactor and hotshot ... need me some of each

[grave timber]

STRIKER AT SPACE

[hybrid ore]

[tropic sentinel]

You own game on ubislop or steam etc?

[wet shuttle]

ubisoft

[stuck hamlet]

aww heck it's striker day

[torn wagon]

Where's the damn Fi and how's refactor again fffs

[grave timber]

Yup

Sooooooo stop chatting and get grinding

[stuck hamlet]

This man bossy 😮

I got weekly stuff in final fantasy with my mom and my grandfather but i'm allowed to play division 😄

[elfin hazel]

if any of you aren't in space admin rn the game actually bans you my cousin 50 times removed told me so

[edgy fable]

ó_Ô

[feral knoll]

Space Admin run count gonna spiiiiiike for sure.

[elfin hazel]

wait this is insane tech for o_O

[stuck hamlet]

i dunno last time striker gear was here did it not break server and end up in maintenance for like 8 horus of that day xd?

[elfin hazel]

they're changing the emoticon game without me knowin !

[grave timber]

Yup and now the gods are our side

[feral knoll]

Get stuck in now before the servers start crying.

To be fair, folks will be busy with PTS so might not be too bad today.

[stuck hamlet]

PTS?

[feral knoll]

Player public test server.

[elfin hazel]

public test server for testing next season gear/dz changes

[stuck hamlet]

ahh i did see patch notes yeah 😄 i'm not a big pvper so i haven't even been in those zones yet 😄

I will try out the pve stuff tho :3

[feral knoll]

Less yapping, more space admin-ing. xD

[tropic sentinel]

You bought it directly from their store?

[wet shuttle]

@tropic sentinel posted enough about for today gonna play for an hour anf go to bed its late

[tropic sentinel]

Bruh.

[feral knoll]

So what's the go for a strikers build, assume there is a pdf or spreadsheet somewhere?

[inland widget]

yay Strikers. Just need to get my backpack....

[silver eagle]

Damn space hq is bad for solo. Enemies coming from all sides

[pearl glade]

Irrespective of the loot till they fix token rewards for leader no point matchmaking

[stuck hamlet]

what you mean fix token reward?

[silver eagle]

Host gets low reward

[inland widget]

Space HQ is rough! I'm yet to figure out if there's one good spot for all spawns

[pearl glade]

Nobody wants to risk T10 with randoms

[silver eagle]

Yea and you have to do the antennas and while doing it they attack already

[inland widget]

Spawns will not be infinite, will they? Maybe the trick is to start antenna, kill enemies, finish antenna

Sucks strikers didn't land on DUA haha that ones beautiful for farming

[feral knoll]

They are going to make you work for it. At least it's in rotation.

[polar thorn]

Grind now or you will be sorry

[inland widget]

Yeah it isn't TERRIBLE. Definitely helpful for everyone to be on mic, though

[mighty creek]

lol gearmods again

[inland widget]

Might watch some YT vids of the pros running it, see if there are some nice spots

[feral knoll]

So for strikers, what should I prioritise?

[inland widget]

CHC / CHD

[feral knoll]

Yeah I get that, but which pieces.

[silver eagle]

The fact it's on saturday means it should be easy to matchmake

[inland widget]

backpack IMO is non-negotiable. chest piece you can go without. the others depend on what exotic u wanna run

[feral knoll]

Backpack, holster, knees, mask?

[inland widget]

yeah for an overdogs build that ^

[feral knoll]

10-4.

[inland widget]

I'd keep some gloves though too. In case u wanna run coyotes or something

Sometimes I get sick of how limiting overdogs feel in terms of target selection

[feral knoll]

Okay, so basically keep anything with CHC/CHD, chest optional.

[silver eagle]

I don't even recognize them. I just shoot red purple yellow and I know it doesn't work that way

[feral knoll]

LMG I tend to hose a few people at once then switch targets.

[polar thorn]

Try get every piece

[feral knoll]

okay. fair.

[polar thorn]

Chest and bp is valuable

[feral knoll]

I've never used strikers, stick to TS and OD.

[inland widget]

I'm also a huge fan of tinkerer....

More for LMG but meh

[vocal hamlet]

Bruh I came out to enjoy and rotation drops striker

[polar thorn]

lmao

Im so jealous that I can't grind rn

[vocal hamlet]

Same

[inland widget]

I'm not going to sleep tonight until I get the strikers backpack I need hahaha

[vocal hamlet]

Haha

[inland widget]

It has hurt my soul to be running everything proto except the backpack hahaha

I got lucky last time it was in rotation, got all the bits I'm currently using in my first run!

Might just tell the teams I run with to look out for a CHC CHD backpack haha people are usually pretty generous and keen to swap. I usually tell people I'll trade them two cores for the bit I want

[vocal hamlet]

I got backpack last time but with repair skills

[inland widget]

I'll probably offer 4-5 cores for equalizer

[silver eagle]

I only got a chest

[inland widget]

usually it's really easy to find a good team on xbox LFG when strikers is on rotation haha

On any given day there are like 25-35 LFG posts, whenever strikers is on there's nearly 50

[queen hollow]

strikers, but DELTA is much stronger!

[devout river]

Is it prototype AR yet for the caches?

[frigid merlin]

Stroker today?

[umbral hatch]

anyone have the bloody houndsman bounty on pc?

[subtle coyote]

need Q step?

[umbral hatch]

yep

[subtle coyote]

i'll Pm you then we can get it

[umbral hatch]

my goat thank you

[fluid drum]

anyone here having the same problem as mine on logging in??? i already tried all possible solution i can but nothing works... 🙁

[subtle coyote]

check your dm's m8

[feral knoll]

strikers backpack with CHD, lol nothing else striker, haha, not the best run but it's a start.

[ornate crystal]

idk how the devs expect ppl to play the pts rn lol

[icy edge]

Hello, what are the targeted loot items in climbing today?

[feral knoll]

check channel pins.

[swift storm]

what tier has the most matchmaking going on?

[elfin hazel]

probably 4-5

[mighty creek]

3-5

[swift storm]

thx

[cold narwhal]

Okay I admit it, at shd 11000 I still don’t know what skill efficiency is

[ornate crystal]

gonna be long long day folks

[edgy fable]

WH for skills

[random laurel]

The day its strikers and I get mad busy for plans lmao 😭 might farm a bit in the morning but shiiit give an agent a break massive

[ornate crystal]

yep i already got myself in trouble. oh well

[cold narwhal]

But skills dont need reload or recoil stuff?

[random laurel]

I bet the pts is gonna be empty today cuz its strikers lol

[edgy fable]

I mean it's figuratively the same. It contains all sub categories of skills

[feral knoll]

ahh man, poor luck so far, I have had very few drops, one piece so far with CHD.

[random laurel]

What happened lad? Like in game?

[cold narwhal]

Can you give me a few examples of what it would do?

[ornate crystal]

no way i just owe my wife a favor now but i wont hear the end of it

[edgy fable]

It buffs SH,SD,SR, etc.

[ornate crystal]

she had a garden im suppose to work on

[signal marten]

Guess the servers are down :l

[feral knoll]

nope, they're fine.

[random laurel]

Buffs every yellow stat broski. Even skill damage so 100% skill efficiency = 100% skill damage, haste, status, duration, etc

[acoustic flare]

Is the server down in Asia?

[feral knoll]

no it's fine, relog if you need to

[acoustic flare]

Echo is an error from my end?

[granite fjord]

Hey so i have a 4piece striker with overdogs and obliterate chestpiece, but while doing dz the damage is nice and all, but i down in like 4-5shots
Is this a skill issue or what could i do to get a bit more survivability?

[languid bay]

Oh my god its a goddamn M rated game for christ sake.

Theres a PvE zone now?

[celest maple]

meow

[polar thorn]

general buffs, huh?

That would be nice if future updates, they drop skill efficiency as gear mods

[dapper tusk]

Anyone have any bloodhound bounty’s??

[languid bay]

Wait wtf when is Survivors supposed to drop???

I thought they rumored a May release for some reason lol

[sacred spruce]

spahq has strikers?

[lethal carbon]

yep

[sacred spruce]

nicr thx

[silver eagle]

I know the pain. I share PC with my son. It's saturday so I can maybe play later 😃

[cold narwhal]

So this skill core 2 yellow attrbt investor is p good for my status effect skill build is what yours saying 😀

[random laurel]

Depends how you run your status effect build bud. If you're leaning for fire stuff then vile would be better. But if you do non damaging status effects then go for investor as that would definitely be better than a yellow golan or electrifique

Id ask in #td2-build-advice there's some smarter people in there that can help out

I want a all yellow investor myself for my second status effect build, 15% skill efficiency helps a ton with foam and banshee pulse

[zealous hawk]

Is there a limit to the increase of how many protocores it costs to reroll?

[random laurel]

25 is the limit lad

Not sure if they'll ever decrease it but one of the devs said its intended 🫠

[bitter wagon]

Hi all, whats todays loot for escalation anything interesting?

[random laurel]

Striker broski. Get to it

[bitter wagon]

Me love u

[random laurel]

Space administration. Go, go goooooo

[bitter wagon]

I was gunna take a nap but screw it, me go now!!!

[random laurel]

There's also hotshot but I think most people will do striker over that 😂

[celest maple]

striker at space HQ, might have to do a escal just for that 😛

[bitter wagon]

Well i need both tbh 😂 i play hotshot and striker

Hope i get lucky

[unique bramble]

I don't care about proto striker honestly, I'm gonna do DUA.

[polar thorn]

had to pull all nighter

Be home in 5 hours max.

[random laurel]

Yuppers only way. Good thing I got nothing going on tomorrow

[ornate crystal]

ill play sick so i dont lol

[polar thorn]

For striker, I will sacrifice myself for echo and crit chc!

[hoary glade]

i have strikers full set proto

But at what cost, all chd

[feral knoll]

feel free to send spares to me, luhb you longu time.

[hoary glade]

I probably need ceska to get chc

[jagged canyon]

Just won a conflict match against a cheater. Full auto sniper and was able to self revive if not killed right after down

[feral knoll]

Nice.

[hoary glade]

Refractors with the current GE is chefs kiss

Dont even need to move and I'd still do more damage

[jagged canyon]

Full auto sniper becomes a whole lot less usefull if you can't aim it. I just put doen the fire sprinkler and then it's just a matter if shoot and burn

[feral knoll]

oop, server restart, relog time.

[hearty barn]

And where is the announcement about server restart or maintenance?

[jagged canyon]

Yall having a server restart?

[hearty barn]

I've been in game/T10 no message at all not even in game. GG tokens again.

[west bloom]

same

[feral knoll]

no, local server restart, stop with the panic.

[polar thorn]

pan

[hearty barn]

Its not about the panic. Its about the waste of tokens. And zero compensation.

[feral knoll]

naw, zero compensation, sorry bro.

[west bloom]

looks like some sort of roll back too, i do not have the prototype loot from the mission i was on

[swift storm]

yay delta

[solar ivy]

delta again???

nvm

[hoary glade]

Is full armor core strikers good for pvp or nah

Nvm allat to get pulverized by corrle strength

[swift storm]

Why is it that there’s delta whenever there’s striker target loot for escalation? Hmmm???

[brazen elm]

more people on, more strain on the servers

[swift storm]

yeah defo

[feral knoll]

lol folks greedily running across map to pick up proto and then being downed any %

[swift storm]

just need striker knee/glove but nah game not giving me 😭

[warm echo]

Hey, any tips to take CP in Heroic or retaliation with a fresh weak striker build ?

front assault seem quite hard, you can't keep a proper cover with all drones operators here, what the best approach ?

[unique bramble]

And I just need any piece at this point, since I'm out of diamonds and paying rent.

[random laurel]

Was doing t8 with some dudes. I normally stay on t5 and we were kinda doing fine until these dudes started typing messages iin the middle of combat like bro focus on the mission 😭

We wiped anyway lol. T8 is too hard for me

[feral knoll]

bros chatting or running across the map to get proto and in either case immediately diiiiiiiie any %

[swift storm]

dieeeeeeeee

[feral knoll]

tier 5 is a vibe, chill; anything higher seems just hard work.

[unique bramble]

I do the same, But different from them I know how to use exodus to looting advantage

[inland widget]

any tier is chill if you're a healer and not the team leader staking tokens hahahaha #protips

[feral knoll]

I've been leader a couple times, I don't mind.

[broken sage]

Load into retaliation with only 1 minute on clock?

Then yesterday it spawns BTSU squad inside me

All this just to farm some exotic gloves……..

[vivid epoch]

hey so im currently downloading the game right now anyone wanna play and help me out when im done

[mighty creek]

Try your respective lfg channel otherwise there's not much to do until you reach level 40.

Just do all main and side missions.

[sleek lagoon]

i have 2k hours in warframe and 5k in destiny 2, will divison 2 scratch my looter shooter itch

[feral knoll]

yes*

[mighty creek]

Definitely yes. Welcome to the family.

@sleek lagoon @vivid epoch Once you reached level 40. That's where the real grind starts. Might want to read this guide first.
Level 40 Starter Guide

[random laurel]

2 pieces with crit chance already bros

Wrong augments tho lmao

[fierce cedar]

How long until escal loot changes?

[swift storm]

why is it that i get group leader 5th time in a row

[grim charm]

changes every day at daily reset, ~20 hours from now

[fierce cedar]

So i have 20 hours to farm for Proto Striker pieces, hell yeah

Thanks Chief

[grizzled tiger]

can u get prototype mods?

[random laurel]

No mate

[grizzled tiger]

bet, district union waste of time today then

[random laurel]

Yuppers, space administration is where its at today

[grizzled tiger]

yep

tbh prototype mods would be dope

[random laurel]

I figured out a good spot to camp out in the rooftop encounter in space admin but only problem is 3 ads spawn by a door a few metres away from me. Gotta pay attention when they start spawning

[vivid epoch]

Ok so apparently i have played this game before because im lv 28

[random laurel]

For real. 18 crit damage and 9 crit chance mods would be cool as hecc. 19.5 pfe mods??? Would just need 4 to fully max it out, no need for no brand high ends

[manic falcon]

Hi everyone, I just started playing, is there anyone who still has the bounty to get the quick step? thanks

[feral knoll]

just need one more striker piece with CHC.. tomorrow I feel.

[inland widget]

Ugh delta error kicked me wth

Now stuck at 00% loading back in...?

[mighty creek]

Look here #lfg-pc

[fervent sierra]

Sup agents

[valid lava]

[drowsy tendon]

the game gets more than a few players than usual and here comes the Deltas
