[celest maple]

so real, i prob won’t use it tho since imma find that annoying

[mighty creek]

Oh right you're playing in playstation.

I do have High-End Ravenous build if you want.

[celest maple]

i’ll check it out when i eventually get the weapon, tryna max eagle bearer and the big horn. a fan of rifles

[delicate plume]

Anyone running Strikers Battlegear ? i got a 6 piece prototype yesterday but not sure if i should run overdogs/memento with it to go with my bluescreen

[inland widget]

Time to open 20 proto LMG cases lol wish me luck

So many named lmgs lol wth

[opaque stump]

Does anyone actually enjoy escalation gameplay? If prototype was just added to the loot list every where else, would you still play it? It feels like such a sweaty slog to me. You have to shoot enemies 500 times and all they have to do is breathe on you, i just don't know why this is fun.

[inland widget]

Gear Shift looks decent

[delicate plume]

i enjoy it, i dont like low shd levels running game modes they are not ready for and not getting groups for missions i want to run like yesterday i was trying to find a party for darpa but everyone was only doing space administation so when i found a team it was the wrong mission

[steady topaz]

I'd suggest going with overdogs and go pure DPS, for me memento is much better for run and gun

[hoary glade]

So to play backfire i have to sacrfiice the chd slots to hazpro?

[void iron]

Backfire gives you alot more chd than the gear pieces can its worth the trade off

You can use the global modifier for now until it goes away you can get about 40% hazpro just from that then make up the rest in mods and on a gear piece or 2

[inland widget]

Yeah backfire by itself gives +36% CHC

[worn token]

I'm sure after the third reload it's bleed effect stops working completely anyway doesn't it

[inland widget]

Speaking of backfire... I got these proto striker gloves yesterday...

Oh can't take pic lol but max weapon damage and 13.4% hazpro

I'll probably use those new nurse kneepads just to make it easy

[zealous hawk]

Can you prototype named weapons?

[ornate crystal]

yes

[silver cargo]

Hello hello.
Not sure if this is the place BUT I would absolutely LOVE for Ubisoft to open up a bunch of buildings with an assortment of possibilities such as: simply mat areas to gang warfare to puzzles - from the sewer up thru the floors onto the rooftops!!!!
Utilizing what they already have in the games locations.😍🤩
That could be another avenue to keep the game going for quite some time!!!
PLEASE UBISOFT!!! 🙏

[cedar sparrow]

1st boss in Iron Horse Raid keeps running back in the train and we can’t use the buttons to summon him back??? Wtf do we do

[random laurel]

You can suggest this in #1380126780152614944 mate. Probably not for div 2 because of engine limiations but yeah maybe for div 3 the world can be a bit more open ended and have some verticality (if that's even a word)

[marsh ermine]

Genuine question if I use the ninja bike backpack and then just stack a bunch of two piece item bonuses that add weapon damage and assault rifle damage could I just make an entire build around shooting my gun in the dark zone

[kind veldt]

yes

it isnt going to be a good build

[mighty crag]

Whats the best set to use in the DZ?

[marsh ermine]

Dang I just wanted to build a build that doesn't require all of the flashy equipment spam

[hard vector]

Sick of inviting people in high tier escalation who don't care! 🤬 So many tokens wasted. Just because your tokens aren't at risk doesn't mean you can play like an idiot and ruin the game for everyone

[unique bramble]

Have you tried politely ask them if they want to do a escalation in the first place?

[kind veldt]

pvp builds end up having odd specific items, not necessarily exotics

try #td2-pvp-discussions

[marsh ermine]

Okay well I really only have one other question before I go to that channel which is do I have to have an exotic weapon in PvP or can I just run the m4 that I've been running that I absolutely love

[hoary glade]

There's hazpro in rise up modifiers?

[hard vector]

" join for tier 10 esc " is it polite enough?

[random laurel]

Ya mon. One of the convert mods from the middle section

You can get to 40% (i think?)

[hoary glade]

Damn didnt know

[random laurel]

Yeah its convert 2(defence), compress(defence) and nullify

Gives you 45% hzp actually

[tender wave]

If you're running an open group, some people might be joining from 'random activity' matchmaking rather than because they saw your message

If you're actively just matchmaking for tier 10 that's a different matter, of course

[keen garnet]

For overdogs, is the only way to know which one who to attack, to learn all enemies?

[drowsy tendon]

red > purple > yellow is the usual in most cases unless you have to dispatch someone close by (or a warhound). the tiers are in pinned in #td2-build-advice

[unique bramble]

Overdogs is by archetype not veteranacy.

[white python]

hey question could i make a good prototype build before expertise 30 like is there anyway to target loot just getting back into it

[drowsy tendon]

i usually go that route personally. my bad

[mighty creek]

Dont expect to get god rolled proto gear/weapon when playing low tier Escalation.

The chance of that is abysmal.

[white python]

ok so grind the hell out of expertise lol

[mighty creek]

If you craft a prototype gear yourself, one of its attribute will be guaranteed to be max rolled.

But keep in mind it has to be level 30 expertise first.

Its possible to get max rolled for all attributes but RNG being RNG.

[white python]

so xould i turn my gear into prototype before over all expertise 30 or no

[mighty creek]

No.

[tender wave]

Target loot depends on the mission and changes at random each day, check the pinned message in here to see what it is. Getting one or two items with the right stats and brand/set will still be a direct upgrade on a non proto so worth getting. Just make sure you have a meta non-prototype build to start with so you're not dragging your team down

[white python]

yeah im doing a tipping scale build

ty guys so its a marathon not a sprint

[random laurel]

A triathlon with raining meteors and tsunamis more like

[white python]

great lol

[random laurel]

Jking mate but yeah its a slow and steady thing. You'll get there

#lfg-playstation

[alpine tiger]

How get shd fast ?

[leaden dagger]

Can the salvo prototype drop from fenris gear set prototype missions? or is it only fenris itself without the named items?

[vagrant grotto]

Best bet is to play heroic with all five directives

To be honest with the x5 xp event was going I just played on hard with 5 directives and gained like 500 shd levels

[tender wave]

No - Salvo isn't Fenris, it's United Armaments

[leaden dagger]

i was tripping got overhyped lol

[twilit cipher]

@vagrant grotto 500 i make maybe 5 a day lol i must be doing somethign wrong lol only lvl 360

[tender wave]

When UA is targeted, proto salvo and equaliser do stand a decent chance of dropping though

[vagrant grotto]

Without double xp I can get at least 10/day

[leaden dagger]

Hopefully that'll show up soon or the core strength set. i want both of those

[vagrant grotto]

Just running all five directives on challenging even

[twilit cipher]

thats me hero to much right now

[blazing crown]

@kind veldt have done

[drowsy tendon]

i've had the season modifiers off for two weeks now that i'm afraid to turn them on

[stable plover]

So quick question. Been noticing what I imagine are either rogue agents or hunters, in pve where when I find them they take off and then do a smoke screen and disappear. Is that something special?

[edgy fable]

Stalker Hunters

[stable plover]

Can they be killed?

[wraith tundra]

somehow i think you spawned a hunter by acident

unless its that "the recruiter" stalking you crap from what ever season it was

[stable plover]

It's happened a lot

Must be that good... lol

[fast pike]

how can i farm tipping scales items fastest ?

[torpid tendon]

That's normal. They're kinda rare, but sometimes hunters do stalk you. They wont engage, and just flee in a smoke cloud once you spot them. They usually spawn a top of buildings.

[torpid tendon]

Yes, if you're at max HH stacks you can 1 shot them if you're fast enough. They'll drop their mask (meaning you won't need to do their easter egg).

[fast pike]

I get alot of lags, why ? I have a good cpu and 9070 xt, running in 4K

its 100% a game bug, my gpu runs at 50-80 W only (normal is: 340W)

[tropic sentinel]

You mean your fps is dropping or just regular ubislop server lag?

[fast pike]

fps is hella low and im only at 55W power from a 340W+ gpu

[edgy fable]

It's a CPU heavy game

Your GPU isn't used at much

[leaden cobalt]

are you running the game in borderless windowed? i had an issue a few months back where my game would drop to like 10fps if i was in borderless, it was really weird

[fast pike]

Yeah. Let me change it

[leaden cobalt]

it might not fix it and it mightve just been a me issue but its worth seeing if it fixes it

[fast pike]

This fixed it lol. What a buggy game

[leaden cobalt]

lol

[fast pike]

Yeah i am getting 100+ fps now and 340 W

[leaden cobalt]

im able to run borderless fine now but for a week or so i just couldnt. it was weird

[rose jolt]

this new healer set is really good just tested it. it can burst heal a bulwark shield to full with a chem launcher and the healing drone is stronger than overcharged

[tropic sentinel]

Do you also have amd gpu?

[kind veldt]

on paper it does look like PVP tuned to burst heal one person and remove debuffs by buffing hazpro

[leaden cobalt]

nvidia

[rose jolt]

if they buff tank role threat mechanics it can have a place in the future. here's hoping

[tropic sentinel]

Yeah lets hope not.

[kind veldt]

werll hazpro is a bigger thing in PVP regular builds i think also

[lofty bay]

question, what are textiles in game?

[kind veldt]

currency you get from getting duplicate apparel items

mostly from opening the regular apparel caches that you get keys from levelling up

[civic ridge]

If you get a Cosmetic you already have, you get Textiles instead. They can be used at Danny Weaver (Hidden NPC) or buying certain cosmetics

[kind veldt]

you can use it to buy some other apparel or in the special vendor after talking to snitch

[lofty bay]

am I able to use them to buy things that you buy for premium credits, or is it only for specific items?

[frail quest]

Whats up everyone...

[tropic sentinel]

Only select items. Aka ugly stuff.

[lofty bay]

oh I see thanks everyone 🤭

[drowsy tendon]

minus that one backpack

but save them. sometimes they put out some stuff in bundles that you can buy with textiles

[kind veldt]

yeah siege had ace costume and mask, and sledge backpack

more of a mute fan but still i'll take what i can

[vast nymph]

whats fastest method to get expertise 30 ? if you've already gotten proficient in majority of brand gear drops

[drowsy tendon]

i hope Ace can be bought with textiles permanently

[unique bramble]

Sledge backpack looks like an antenna from afar, not a hammer.

[kind veldt]

well it has crowbar end to open doors

[kind veldt]

breaking down everything on hte ground for mats and donating, farming houndsman bounty for more rare named items, rotating named items in your builds

[drowsy tendon]

it sorta does, yeah

[delicate plume]

if someone buys the prototype cache box --- do they have prototype EXOTICS in them or only as high as NAMED items as the highest thing you can get in them ? like say a prototype overdogs glove

[small spear]

i thought it's Under Armour

[hasty kettle]

just started playing yesterday im lvl 6, anyone down to teach me the game and help me power through the levels?

[drowsy tendon]

iirc only named items

[delicate plume]

i was wondering if i should buy more trying to get exotic lmgs but no point if none are in them

[drowsy tendon]

don't rush. it sounds counterintuitive but you have to get some good grips on the combat system first. don't stress about what you're getting for now. just get what gives you high DMG and armor

[hasty kettle]

slow progression just bores me, i wanna get pvp ready asap because im not the biggest fan of only doing pve

[drowsy tendon]

you can buy WONY and skip to level 40, but it'll be an entire can of worms to deal with considering there's a lot to take in, especially the gear system including named set and exotics.

[hasty kettle]

i have lvl 30 and 40 boost

[halcyon frost]

anyone where i can report a player for lag switch with auto nemasis

[drowsy tendon]

then you may use the level 40 boost if you wish. just be wary of PvP. you're gonna be facing those who are very familiar with the game already

[warm vapor]

is there any way to get quickstep pistol if i dont have houndsman bounty?!

[drowsy tendon]

nope

[zenith urchin]

there are no proto exotics

[halcyon frost]

bro did u not play the event which was for a month

[past night]

can you get chameleon from focus loot or just hyneas?

[warm vapor]

no i didnt unlucky

[halcyon frost]

it a bad arse don;t bother with it

[drowsy tendon]

tbh anywhere. but don't bother

thing has an accuracy of a blind fart. spitting at an enemy would have a better accuracy

[warm vapor]

is there anyone here still have this bounty and could help me

[drowsy tendon]

i would love to trade my chameleon for an EB or Elmo

heavy on Elmo. shock is an absolute lifesaver

i'd also love to trade my Acosta bag for Memento too. or maybe my Ninjabike for that matter

[worn token]

Prototype exotics doesn't exist yet

[zenith urchin]

tfw i have a maxed out eb and memento

[kind veldt]

#lfg-pc

[unique bramble]

In the next episode of Pawn Stars:

Rick: the most I can trade is a Harrier pride André, sorry.

[drowsy tendon]

GOD DUDE I JUST GOT THAT BS

did weekly summit for that bag AUGH

[wraith tundra]

dont give them any ideas. its bad enough trying to farm on heroic with this games BS

[zenith urchin]

eh, harrier pride aint bad

[drowsy tendon]

then i got a Busy Bee dupe on the priority objective reward

[zenith urchin]

does memento's job fine enough until you get the real deal

[drowsy tendon]

oh i know. i'm just gonna ignore literally every other exotic until i get EB or Elmo

[worn token]

I wouldn't mind prototype exotics if deconstructing then gave like 10 exotic comps, maybe worth farming them

[random laurel]

insert I dont know rick, seems fake gif

[polar thorn]

250 tokens down to the drain and not a single of GR9 or Mk46

ok, I'm going rogue

[umbral dock]

[frigid merlin]

Are you above SHD 1k?

The beginners rng is real

[polar thorn]

well, 1.6k so far

ah f it, I will continue grinding in the morning.

[brave idol]

the probability is extremely low to get mk46 with chc and frenzy

[worn token]

I had to prototype like 80 of them for my god roll one

Lexington was 120

[random laurel]

my arse with my humble 50% rolled proto items>

spare some exo components mate

[worn token]

It's not prototype cores that are the issue

It's exotic comps, especially after they patched the method that's been around for like 7 years

[twilit matrix]

Best way to get the resources needed for optimizing gear? Been a while since i've played. Any advice appreciated 🙂

[twilit cipher]

was just being carryed in escalation they did it 5 times for me..and nothing at all usefull droped i still have same gear as wehn i started it lol an only made 3 levels i suck so bad

[tropic jewel]

busco gente que hable español para jugar c:

[zenith urchin]

would trying to solo roosevelt escalation be stupid

[shut widget]

Since Striker and Tipping Scales seem to be the go-to for red build for ESC...my question is, why not Negotiators Delemma? Max CC plus the backpack seems to be a strong combo. Whats yalls thoughts?

[zenith urchin]

damage split makes everything die slower

[kind veldt]

#lfg-pc

[celest maple]

meow

[umbral dock]

cc stops working after a certain point, enemies get hazpro as you get higher
the major threat in esca is the number and the pure healthbars of NPCs, so you really can't sacrifice anything for more theoretical damage

[kind veldt]

adn even high DPS builds struggle to take down a single enemy fast, so thinning the numbers of enemies becomes a priority

on paper this is the place you want negotiator yes because you wouldbe taclking multiple enemies, but at such slow pace that you get overwhelmed fast sadly

[inner turret]

Hello, I have a problem. I completed the Kelso bounty hunt and finished the Jupiter bounty hunt mission, but when I go to Kelso for the bounty hunt, it still shows me the Jupiter mission. Does anyone have a solution to this?

[random laurel]

You have to toggle the mission type mate. Not sure what the bind is on pc but it should be the same one as the one to start it. Just hold the button and it should change

[edgy fable]

Toogle it again. The first time it's bugged and sends you to Jupiter

thanks u

Seen the steam charts yesterday on my phone im happy one of my favorite games are still alive

When does year 8 season 2 drop?

I know the PTS is available now?

[wicked birch]

probably 3-4 weeks

[karmic dust]

Reading the article and can’t seem to find a date

Is that for the PTS? Or the regular launch??

[wicked birch]

got final manhunt on tuesday, then usually they have 2-3 weeks of exented pass stuff

[karmic dust]

Ahh ok

Is that for the launch or the PTS testing or whatever they call it?

[undone pond]

Is anyone grinding open world heroic all directives that I can join?

And now I'm supposed to run it like five or six times back to back?

Hi, I have 466/698 Blueprints, e.g. Assault Rifles 10/27 and the only one still locked is "Savage Wolverine". Why can't I see the rest or how can I unlock them? Via "Season Pass Project" and "Daily Mission" I don't can unlock blueprints anymore... Thanks for your help in advance 🙂

[dusk sky]

Am I doing something wrong here? I’m trying to get max crit chance gear mods and max crit damage mods via countdown. 4 days and I still have yet to get one. Is there an easier way or something?

[ornate quest]

is there any news on the new hunter that was supposed to be coming out? is it dropping with the new season?

[pine gulch]

Does anyone know if the damage report is even accurate? I understand the negative numbers (integers limit) but some matches shows my after match report to very low dmg numbers with the most kills as a dps (about 2x-3x more than my teammates). Example: 300m (not negative) with 125+ kills

[elfin hazel]

you can get the rest from reconstructed caches from retaliation or descent
there's a list of all of them here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vQZF6R-PYMsz9UeqCRCktZ3GW05T60Tru_BCU0J4VGSDrsB_ipKCPBNDmeSwOuQ-vigsh8h73d8Kcso/pubhtml

it'll drop on tuesday

[fervent cobalt]

Did the beacon ever get buffed or is it still kinda bad? I thought it had lower boosts than when i saw it recently

[kind veldt]

It stayed tge same, the buffs are less effective if you only skills with you

Ah that might be why. Thank you

that exotic ar in the pts sound crazy or is it just me?

[long lichen]

What specialisation we need to play a build healer ?

[quick plaza]

survivalist

[grand depot]

Diamond transceivers from BT kill squads?

[tender wave]

It keeps on rolling around, so after it jumps from top positive value to bottom negative value, it climbs up until it reaches positives again, at which point the 'who did the most damage?' indicator loses track.

[tender wave]

There's a handy guide pinned in #ask-td2-community

[tender wave]

Yes and also just completing BT retaliations

[zenith urchin]

caduceus? its good but healing is much less than you would expect

[hoary glade]

Is the rise up manhunt worth the reward?

[quick plaza]

wuthh? 1.5% of any crit damage isnt that high

that on a max stack striker

[hoary glade]

Like he said much less than you'd expect

[zenith urchin]

it wont save you under fire like a healer build

[hoary glade]

I'm probs gonna use it on my high end build

2 pc belstone with named
2 pc UA
1 Fenris

Nope. Is that a horrible one as well?

wouldnt want to spoil the fun wopuld i

[sage thicket]

I'll just say it straight on: fml.

[elfin hazel]

I think sparkle & the keener drones are still worse than recruiter

I hated every second of that fight.

Well, fights.

[oak bolt]

Is it possible to get the sheriff shotgun still? I didn't complete the manhunt when the season was live.

Thank you!

i particularly dislike recruiter because the fight takes away your agency

blueprint for it drops from retaliations, BTSU i think. so you can craft one after a few runs

yo can the dark winter be farmed outside of dz?

[cobalt stirrup]

I assume so. I get it all the time and I haven't gone in the DZ really at all on PC.

[glacial hull]

do you recommend farming the summit

[edgy fable]

Named item caches. You can farm the crafting blueprint via Retaliations (buy Reconstructed Caches)

[glacial hull]

so it can drop from named enemies

[edgy fable]

No

It doesn't drop in the LZ. Some manhunt targets can drop DZ items but that's it

[glacial hull]

bounties too?

[edgy fable]

No, just manhunt targets (the HVTs) IIRC

[glacial hull]

like hornet?

[edgy fable]

No that's the last one, HVTs are just part of a manhunt leading up to the actual manhunt target

[glacial hull]

ok thx

[edgy fable]

The best way is to keep farming Retaliations because you'll ultimately get its crafting blueprint and are less reliant on RNG. There is no drop order for the crafting blueprints and it might take a while but at least you'll be able to craft it with the rolls you want ultimately

[polar thorn]

better craft them, some of it is hard to obtain it

[umbral star]

I went out to dinner but logged out of Division 2 and when I returned my character was gone...,level 40 but level 950 on SHD watch. Not only that I lost everything that was on that character, including all progress. I have nothing. does anyone know who i can contact to get this fixed. I am so beyond pissed. I have 566 hours into this game

I find it insane after all these years they still have that bug for decent where scanning ur hand and going to the next room bugs out. How the hell did they not fix that yet?

Best we can do is to wait Double material gain from deconstructing. Wont be as effective as Expertise surge but its better than nothing.

Countdown surge hasnt appear yet either.

[finite ferry]

Can't quit game can't log out have to force close the game

Same shit from over a year ago when I stopped playing 😂

[mighty creek]

Might want to report the bug yourself sir.

There's a new bug reporting system in place now, I would recommend using that to report it.
https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/game/the-division/the-division-2/bug-reporter

[polar thorn]

At this point, Outcast is gonna disappear into thin air

[sour void]

We're too damn good at our jobs.

[Insert suffering from success meme here]

[hybrid ore]

If anyone else is having trouble, bounties for Outcasts are your best bet.

[sour void]

checks bounties on my end
oops all Black Tusk

Guess I'll hold out on an Outcast Retaliation then...

[hybrid ore]

Make sure you've cleared the Blockade (and Invaded Mission if there is one) there, and other faction's activities will spawn in over time.

[sour void]

Vaporized the blockade and mission, cleaned up the remnants.

Been seeing some Hyenas, but that's about it.

[polar thorn]

Farry is Hunter in their eyes

[sour void]

Who would've thought Harlan's death would leave the Outcasts this disorganized and scattered?

[sour void]

Can't have another Hornet situation, can we?

[wise peak]

I’ve had that happened to me often last week. And yeah it’s annoying when it does happen😅

[topaz cliff]

I have a question can you turn named items into prototype equipment?

[edgy fable]

Yes

[celest maple]

meow

agent kitty to the rescue

[umbral dock]

yeah, very common to see hollow man and salvo prototyped in the wild

[polar thorn]

Would rather prototype equalizer than salvo

also damn, escalation seems dead at T5

[umbral dock]

yeah
feels like most people who want to do them are at t10 or nothing

[brazen elm]

i usually play at t4 and t5, people only join those, not host

[celest maple]

most newbies do be around t6 and up

[brave idol]

anyone has the srever shutdown imminent thingy? relogged but it did not go away

[kind veldt]

You probablyjust logged in to the same server

[grave timber]

100 cores to reroll backpack for quantum nada

The grind continues

[hybrid ore]

Kinda sounds like you should farm out a new one instead.

100 proto drops is a hard sell for any bp.

[brazen elm]

huh i thought it was capped

[hoary glade]

When you wanna test out a tank build in control points and the rogue agents theme starts playing

[kind veldt]

it is, probably meant accumulated

[zealous hawk]

Does the apparel cache Key loot pool ever change? I've got one thing left

And it seems to be the same since day one 10 years ago or whatever

[polar thorn]

I take my words back, I despise Outcasts.

[sour void]

Let the hate flow through you.

[polar thorn]

I broke the damage scale, I guess..

[edgy fable]

I'd give you my Quantum for Echo 😅

[grave timber]

Funny enough the quantum is for my striker backpack that has echo

[edgy fable]

Lol

[grave timber]

You're not helping push

[sour void]

You give me an Outcast worth saving, and I'll give you a reason to tolerate them.

[grave timber]

Yes well my fun build already has it talents ready my tank build needs 1 or 2 reroll and then my other fun build which focus on status effects which will be a pain to get but other than that getting a 100 shouldn't be too hard

[grave timber]

Actually that was a reference to family guy when they did a small scene of that and what I said was Lois saying that

[celest maple]

eagle catching baseball gif

[sour void]

Must've missed that episode.

Granted, I still use bunny ears for TV, but I digress.

[grave timber]

It was the episode when quagmire was getting chased by Cleveland for cheating

Hopefully tomorrow target loot will be good

[dusty walrus]

Much needed now lost items automatically available in one place after the completion of mission.. In escalations there are great chances of loosing good items

QOL

[hardy rover]

Hyenas tho

[grave timber]

Don't even talk about escalation had a terrible group yesterday in space

Our healer was afk for the entire dish part and someone left after done and later when our healer came back he explained why and he left

[hybrid ore]

Space Admin seems to bring out the worst in teams, regardless of the TL.
People either hang back far enough that in the big rooms, they aren't doing anything, or rush ahead like it's a regular Heroic and get bodied.

[grave timber]

Me and some random had to basically two man the entire ending of the mission and luckily we completed it

[dusty walrus]

Especially in such cases... If any proto drop can be available.. that feature available in other games also

[hybrid ore]

@dusty walrus Div2 is instance based, the drops no longer exist once you leave.

Do another run-through if you want the drops there again, but bail and they're gone.

[grave timber]

I hate Rambos I think I mentioned this before but I had someone who literally takes the name to a whole new lvl

[dusty walrus]

But if the leader starts the missions again that protos are available in same place

[hybrid ore]

Yes, read the 2nd line.

For now your best bet is to listen carefully during the mission, Proto drops have a somewhat unique sound to them.

[grave timber]

Yup I died in island 2 drops were there went back to the mission and got it

[hybrid ore]

I would love a postmaster in div2, but I doubt we're going to get it in this game.

#1380126780152614944 would be the place to ask for it though.

[grave timber]

Or look for the big purple glowing line with the exotic symbol

[hybrid ore]

If they spawn behind a wall, that's a little tricky.

The wrost thing is when you go up an unreturnable ledge, and then see the faint purple glow through the floor.

[grave timber]

Yup

[small bramble]

Just gotta redo it again

Space admin is painful to try to clutch on

[dusty walrus]

Quality of life ... is something devs should consider in near future ... All are working and in this busy schedule.. if someone investing their time .... they should got 1 or 2 good items ..

[hybrid ore]

I'd rather lose it than re-run it with the team I just did.
2 ran ahead, 1 died constantly, die'er ended the mission with "that was EZ".

[small bramble]

It all depends on teammates

[trail trout]

Hi umm...So I'm a returning player after not playing the game in a couple of years and there's so much more new stuff than last time I played and I'm heavily confused on where to start getting back into the game. I had a few people I used to play with but they dropped the game around the same time as me but rn I'm really looking for a few people to help me understand what's new and possible a new clan.

[boreal trail]

Is anybody in here meowing?

No meowing

[edgy fable]

For clan search check #td2-clan-recruitment

[hardy rover]

probably @celest maple

[celest maple]

ayyy finally for the bittersweet blueprint, so glad they have NY cache

[celest maple]

LOL

meow

[trail trout]

Tysm 🙏🏾

[celest maple]

lowkey wanted to join a clan just for shits and giggles(doing the raid)

[hardy rover]

If you were on pc I’d offer the one I’m in they’re chill

Alas, no crossplay yet

[celest maple]

yea i figured PC players more chill, prob wait till cross play anyways

[feral knoll]

Tipping Scale and or Ceska would be nice for the next escalation TL.

[feral knoll]

"what if I ignore the current firefight and run ahead to scoop up proto that dropped, get downed because massively out of position due to greed, complain about not being healed instantly, for a session I haven't even put tokens in for, and then crash out and leave part way through because clearly the rest of the team is toxic and not considering my needs, what then, huh?"

Generally I get to have great runs and the odd idiot is in fact super rare.

[small bramble]

What’s the optimal open world difficulty

[lunar hare]

that's subjective

heroic is the highest

[celest maple]

ppl do challenging since it’s not too hard or too easy but heroic is the highest and majority on it

[fluid meadow]

Lowk challenging with a proper build is just normal

You don't even get named enemies in control points or retal control points lol

[small bramble]

Well I’m just trying to make my build rn

[small bramble]

Could always make the alert level higher

[fluid meadow]

Sure but it's extra time spent just to achieve the same result as turning up difficulty

[small bramble]

True but some people wouldn’t mind the time

[finite fulcrum]

need ppl for escalation dm me n2

[feral knoll]

Try in #lfg-pc

[remote frigate]

is it still possible to get the quickstep pistol

[celest maple]

yea but you need someone who has the bounty to get it

[remote frigate]

peach

[boreal trail]

When is crossplay coming?

[twilit gyro]

In 5 years

[jagged maple]

Probably 2030 at this point or after division 3

[polar thorn]

I wish lmg cache stays for a week

welp, no luck for me I guess

[boreal trail]

I wish you earned more than what u get now

[polar thorn]

300 tokens, one copy of mk46

And its swap speed 😭

[boreal trail]

I only got 26

[twilit gyro]

Atleast you got one

[boreal trail]

I gotta got a god roll rpk with maxed 9%dmg To armor but talent was back and forth 🥴🥴

[granite fjord]

Can you get eagle bearer in countdown? Or is it only in raids and very endgame content?

[magic rock]

How does ambush event works ? Iam trying to finish last reward ???

[boreal trail]

Get bp from retal

[granite fjord]

Normal diff retal works too?

[magic rock]

????

[boreal trail]

Should work but it has to be black tusk retal

[hearty patio]

did that new hunter puzzle go live yet or is it set for tuesday?

[celest maple]

tuesday

[hearty patio]

k

[polar thorn]

Alright, time for the final push

[magic rock]

How does ambush event works ? Iam trying to finish last reward ???

[polar thorn]

We're ballin, agents.

[granite fjord]

Okay, thank ya

[boreal trail]

Anybody else gassed out on playing division?

[untold ether]

I reworked all wepon talents for pvp

[celest maple]

no we’re all addicted

[boreal trail]

Good job trick question!

[celest maple]

meow

[boreal trail]

No meowing

[lunar valve]

Are servers Down?

[elfin hazel]

no

[silver eagle]

I will take Unit alloys, ceska or striker in DUA please

[lunar valve]

Then why i have error code BRAVO-09?

[elfin hazel]

connection with your account was lost on your platform

it'll show MIKE-01 if it's actually down

[lunar valve]

Ou right

[celest maple]

got 3 exotics in a countdown run😛sucks i had gloves targeted

[polar thorn]

ok im tired, that match took longer than it was supposed to be

another quiet roar, okay I'm done

Just hoping next TL would be LMG or anything good

[celest maple]

it’s prob won’t

[past night]

ok i got strikers with coyote mask and some exotic guns, working on proficiency, what will improve my setup the most right now?

[polar thorn]

Ditch Coyote Mask for overdogs

[past night]

do not have but good point

[polar thorn]

I will suffer alone at this point

[polar thorn]

Obtain it via Hyena's retaliation for bp, craft it

[past night]

hmm if thats the case might have the bp

[stuck garnet]

@lunar valve same here

[spice gazelle]

Also getting unit alloy named pieces if you wanna swap the striker chest or the holster

[stuck garnet]

[stuck garnet]

Thnx 😊 😊

Switched profile twice and rebooted it works

[lunar valve]

Any advice on what to do? https://ctrlv.sk/qE2G

[polar thorn]

If I see 5.11, I'm going to sleep

[pliant sentinel]

probably strikers again

[feral knoll]

tipping scales would be good; ceska too.

[polar thorn]

CESKAAAA

[elfin hazel]

aces
tots
knees
ceska
true patriot

[small bramble]

OH GREAT TP

[elfin hazel]

big day for gear sets

backpacks and yet again smg caches

[feral knoll]

ceska? nice nice.

[polar thorn]

gah, smg cache

[pliant sentinel]

ceska is p good

[prisma notch]

Tots?

[elfin hazel]

tip of the spear

[small bramble]

Tip of spear

[lunar valve]

How often is Kenly High School? I can't even remember the last time it was.

[twilit gyro]

Smgs again 🫩

[feral knoll]

not often.

[polar thorn]

welp, imma make my dinner and grind the damn Roosevelt to the oblivion.

[feral knoll]

likewise, food and then ceska time.

[lunar valve]

It seems to me that she hasn't been there for about half a year.

[feral knoll]

Roosevelt; oh nooooo.

[polar thorn]

O, kneepads hmm

Nah, I'd rather grind Ceska.

[feral knoll]

yeah same, I'm just realising it's Roosevelt. xD

I mean it's a stronghold, so lots of hostiles for drops.

[past night]

ya boy is for sure not cut out for solo heroic yet lol

[cloud badge]

Why does every prototype Lexington I've seen have measured on it

[last rivet]

LG Houndsman Bounty Farm. Can anyone help?

[grave timber]

Well agents we now have 24 hours pending any maintenance left before the final scout and the manhunt mission appears and the master version

[grave timber]

Go to your respective lfg channel

[rigid wedge]

big day for token and proto core grinding yes sir yes sir

[last rivet]

First time here. IDK where that is.

[edgy fable]

Best talent overall (technically Killer solo, Measured for groups)

[strange heron]

I can help i need quickstep aswell

[spice gazelle]

What guns are you using i assume this is also the striker build you were asking about

[last rivet]

Thanks! Pls invite DCsix16

[strange heron]

you are on PC tho

[last rivet]

Yeah :/

Thanks for the offer tho

[strange heron]

np good luck

[celest maple]

meow

[random laurel]

Hmmhmmm ceska today licks fingers we eating good today lads

[celest maple]

yes we

[vocal hamlet]

Rotation loves aces and eights

[past night]

correct, chameleon for now just working through proficiencies for exotics but it is nice

[hoary glade]

Is it worth changing equalizer to striker chest piece or nah

[brisk snow]

yeah

[edgy fable]

Yeah but depends on the content you play

[hoary glade]

Yeah i figured that's the case

So short term or quick clearing equalizer? And enemies that are bullet sponge Striker chest piece yes?

[edgy fable]

Correct

[brisk snow]

6 piece better ngl

[edgy fable]

Usually heroic CD, the incursion and T6+ Escalations

[hoary glade]

Would be funny if they added a 6 pc gear set talent

[lament lark]

Suggest me a prototype striker build for my god rolled prototype lexington with strained talent and paradox augment.

[edgy fable]

Rip Strained

[past night]

yo @edgy fable why people hating on chameleon?

[edgy fable]

It's niche

[hoary glade]

Strained is bad

For ar at least

[edgy fable]

Mostly due how to maintain the talent and that it's actually a SMG pretending to be an AR

[edgy fable]

#td2-build-advice

[hoary glade]

It resets every reload

It would've been nice if it was slow decay instead of reset every reload

[past night]

This description is correct so I feel like if you treat it like a smg it runs good

[edgy fable]

It can be decent for some tankier builds. I personally don't use it at all

[hoary glade]

Man cheating is getting worse

They can teleport all over the map and shoot them through the walls now

[edgy fable]

That's not new

[feral knoll]

PVP rework is starting as of Y8S2 so that's at least something.

[random laurel]

Bros be like "im the homelander"

[celest maple]

yea but ur the chances are extremely low

[edgy fable]

Report those losers with meaningful video clips. Here is to hope they start banning cheaters with all that's coming up around the DZ

[feral knoll]

oof, no-one queuing for tier 5 roosevelt; even the matchmaking server is giving up trying, hahaha oh no.

woo, my grou7p disbanded, then invited, servers working hard

[random laurel]

Those hamsters working extra hard today

[hollow ore]

A pvp rework is pointless if they dont bother with banning cheaters that are currently ruining it

There won't be anyone to play the content they just changed because it won't take long for their cheat program to be updated

[wet shuttle]

hey anyone have a picture of the drop for this week proto

[edgy fable]

pins

[hybrid ore]

@hollow ore They are also working on the cheating situation, notably they let us know there's even a dedicated team specifically for it, within the PvP team they put together.

[hollow ore]

It's about time they did. That's good news to hear

[hoary glade]

already encountered 4 of them

[hollow ore]

Here's hoping that when people start submitting concrete proof of cheating to Ubisoft support, people will get more than the answer of "just report them in game"

Which, mind you, doesn't do anything

[hoary glade]

3 of them are chill i guess since they either let me be or invite me to the team as they delete everything in the darkzone

The other 1 just straights up kill me over and over

I somehow die and revive in the darkzone idk if its a glitch in my end or its part of their program

[hollow ore]

I would be careful who you pair up with. Also, that's not a glitch. That's actively someone with cheats reviving you

There's apparently a new invisible cheat too so yeah that's why that's happening. I would suggest not bothering for right now

[brazen elm]

maintaining the talent is a pain, you can't even refresh it

[hollow ore]

It's also an SMG pretending to be an AR

[brazen elm]

i would honestly be fine if they nerfed the talent numbers but let us refresh it

[past night]

for me its cranking right now and i just count the perk as a bonus

[hollow ore]

Swap off the gun, swap back is one way

[past night]

nah they mean keep it rolling

[hollow ore]

What's your accuracy like at 25m+ ?

[brazen elm]

anything works at challenging and under tbh

[past night]

dunno i just shove it in their mouth and pull the trigger

[hoary glade]

Does using chameleon break the max chc cap?

[past night]

very true, im running through hero capitol rn and its just doing better numbers with less build up than the other things ive run through

[random laurel]

No mate. Only one overdrive event allows you to go over cap

[past night]

what it does do is let you put a lot of your not on the gun mods and items into crit damage instead

[random laurel]

They are exceptions however like that one pistol that has perfect determined and the kenly college sniper but that's it

[brazen elm]

i forget perfect determined guarantees crits too

[hollow ore]

Diamondback does too but we don't talk about that lol

[random laurel]

Id do that honestly. The chameleon already has a high enough chc so makes sense to just have crit damage on everything. Once all 3 buffs are active it becomes a monster. Only downside is its once per combat encounter so gotta take advantage of it quickly

It has its moments but I think there's better options out there imo

[past night]

I think it wrecks if you dont pretend its an AR

[brazen elm]

If you could get the talent up and finish the fight fast enough

[random laurel]

I actually never tried it out for my HF build. Reckon it'll wreck shit with it. But im biased because chatterbox already is god tier for me lol

[hybrid ore]

Cham' is a weird one, it's far from like "bad", but it's one of those guns that's pretty much only good up to a point.

[unique bramble]

I think the downside of some weapons is that since it's a weapon talent, the game will reset everything about the talent once you swap the weapon.

[random laurel]

I think on ikias chart it ranks first on the ARs once all 3 buffs are active... at least for burst. Gotta double check

[hybrid ore]

The trick is getting and keeping the stacks active, no gun exists in a vacuum.

[random laurel]

But the problem is like blue job says you gotta proc the talents. Some encounters happen too fast and you cant even a activate them

[hybrid ore]

My main issue with it is yeah, solo you aren't going to have it active for long enough to matter, and in a group, others can kill faster than you and you won't get it all stacked up anyway.

Add that it's range is only about 20m and you've got a rough recipe.

[fluid meadow]

Very much meant to clear engagements quickly and works pretty well in missions like lincoln memorial where each room could be done in under 45 seconds
Very situational and very annoying to use in open world because of a red hyena rusher that's 2 blocks away

Honestly use it with hunter's fury and you'll be having a good time

[hybrid ore]

Heroic Lincoln is also very unique in how it works, in that the entire thing can be reliably done in well under 10 minutes, IIRC the current record is under 6.

[edgy fable]

According to the leaderboard: 45.359s

[hybrid ore]

Yeah yeah, I mean an actual recorded timer.

[edgy fable]

😂

Can't trust any of the ingame leaderboards

[fluid meadow]

Wdym i just did t10 grand Washington hotel in 7 minutes solo

[hybrid ore]

Dying 7 minutes into it doesn't count, sorry.

[silver eagle]

So when you reload from empty and then switch weapon and then switch back does frenzy deactivates?

[fluid meadow]

Yes

[silver eagle]

I knew something was not right lol

[lethal moon]

Space Admin HQ has True Patriot today? Looks like I'm grinding when I get back home

[fluid meadow]

If only you could recalibrate protos........

[hybrid ore]

It's being worked on.

[unique bramble]

I said that minutes ago lol, it applies to all weapon talents unfortunately.

[drowsy tendon]

oh goodie. getting Airaldi bag with HSD would take a while. ouch

[granite fjord]

And how hard are the raids?

[hybrid ore]

Raids are about Heroic difficulty, but the real issue is the mechanics.
And finding a group of course, since Discovery doesn't give you anything.

[silver eagle]

damn rouge agents in escalation ruined my 2 runs today

[feral knoll]

that would be the anticheat part of the work that's also been noted for future.

oof, ceska with endless headshot rolls for some reason.

[silver eagle]

I'm hunting for kneepads, so far none

ceska kneepads that is

[feral knoll]

was after either ceska kneepads or mask.

[woeful adder]

hello

[hybrid ore]

One more day until the Corrosive Shell GE is on, genuinely very excited.

[mighty creek]

What does that do?

[hybrid ore]

The "use Ongoing Directive builds" one.

Status Effect party, basically.

[hoary glade]

This made me laugh more than it should

Ah shit my sides

There are escalation speed run leaderboards?

[cloud badge]

I did it

I got shd 1000

[grave timber]

Agents what's the most proto drops you got in a mission I start 11 in tier 5 dua

[royal glen]

i got 20 in zoo t10

[hybrid ore]

@woeful adder You can find a hand down in #lfg-pc, but make sure you take a look over in #td2-clan-recruitment to find a more permanent group.
GL Agent

[polar thorn]

From a place beyond time and time beyond counting.

[swift storm]

any good target loot?

for escalation i mean

[elfin hazel]

its in the pinned messages

[swift storm]

🥹

[grave timber]

Gotta love sensitive or fragile people in this game

[tropic sentinel]

What have they done to hurt your feelings?

[topaz cliff]

I'm a striker build which is better saint elmer's engine or chameleon?

[swift storm]

elmo in general

[elfin hazel]

elmo

[swift storm]

chameleon is alright but needs to build up stack + cant really use it mid-long range

[grave timber]

They didn't hurt my feelings more like I hurt theirs

Join a tier 5 mission guy ran in and another left told him you shoulda waited

He asked why twice didn't answer and told him I guess we are 3 manning this told me to leave i said why and kicked from group

Hence why I said gotta love sensitive and fragile people

And also gotta love blind agents who can't see the enemy in front of them

[silver eagle]

even blind want to have fun 😄

[drowsy tendon]

Elmo

[drowsy tendon]

double homicide tbh. needs stacks but can't properly land a hit

[feral knoll]

oof, think I'll skip ceska this time; my luck has been terrible. Single CHD/CHC piece, everything else has been way too random stat wise. Fun tho.

[zealous hawk]

Anyone know how many exotic components it takes to make an item 30 now?

[polar thorn]

45

[feral knoll]

well, up to tier 7 for escalation now, I've gone from being terrified to resigned to my fate, hahaha.

[lethal moon]

Resigned to fate

[grave timber]

Who called me

[zealous hawk]

Is there gonna be a difference between prototyping the gear shift or a regular mk46 with measured?

[brazen elm]

None besides the talent

[zealous hawk]

Ok sweet. I was wondering in order to balance that if they would mess with the attribute ceiling

[brazen elm]

It's always 50% more than the base max

[feral knoll]

Ongoing Directive build all set.

[mighty creek]

Everyone suddenly running Ongoing Directive

[grizzled pond]

Anyone gpt the bounty for the quickstep?? On ps

[lunar valve]

What is best shotgun?

[tame raft]

Game worth coming back to/getting Brooklyn dlc?

[mighty creek]

ACS-12 and its named variants are the most commonly used.

[mighty creek]

Yeah. Battle for Brooklyn celebration event starts tomorrow.

Crossplay, new DLC, and new Incursion are coming as well. No one knows when though.

[lunar valve]

Why you think is best?

[mighty creek]

Cuz its full auto and has the highest mag count. Lefty with its Perfect Sledgehammer talent is used for support build whereas Rock N Roll or normal ACS-12 are used to build Strikers stacks.

[lunar valve]

@mighty creek and assault rifle?

[mighty creek]

Commonly used are Elmo and Lexington.

[lunar valve]

Thanks for a advise man @mighty creek

[mighty creek]

Alright.

[random laurel]

I use the stack broker myself. Most people diss on it but with a rate of fire third attribute and having back and forth is top. Striker stacks go nearly full with the chestpiece. Put the two stability mods o that bad boy and you can shoot at mid range. If you use smart cover its even better

[ebon night]

Is anyone else's div2 just crashing when you try to open it?

[polar thorn]

Alright, ceska is boring.
I'd rather grind DUA

[random laurel]

DUA is ok. Haven't done pentagon escalation before probably sucks especially the ending part

I mean DARPA

That room with the emps oh man... that should be fun lol

[alpine tiger]

I stucked at 29.5 expertise level ,, no credit no shd lvl to donate materials ,, any tips to reach lvl 30 expertise ?

[feral knoll]

what rolls were you getting? I managed a single piece with CHD; everything else was blue, yellow or an excessively high repeat of headshot.

[feral knoll]

donate copies of any named items, or use skills not fully levelled. There will be gaps you can complete.

[alpine tiger]

i upgraded all skills ,, no credit to get named also lool ,,

[plain jungle]

does anyone know if the first division has a lot of people playing i’ve played and completed second moving to the first now

[feral knoll]

exotics?

[alpine tiger]

almost done all ,,

[feral knoll]

Then you are in the last stretch and will just have to tough it out eeking out levels for gear/ weapons/ etc where you can.

[alpine tiger]

I was buying mods ,, dismantle then donate

but credit empty now

[feral knoll]

Run countdown/ retal or something, sell junk, buy mods. Come on fella you should know the way by now. xD

[alpine tiger]

what if made another characters ?

[feral knoll]

Materials are seperate per character.

[alpine tiger]

credit of watch ?

[feral knoll]

Materials are seperate per character, you cannot cheese the watch.

Back to farming and selling to get printer filement, off you go! lol

[umbral dock]

lmao
okay gamers who’s farming true patriot esca with me

[normal snow]

I believe this one is on pentagon

DARPA have warhound training area and the last one have mortar incoming

[feral knoll]

DARPA isn't too bad, get someone hunkered down in the last area, extreme left DPSing boss, you'll be able to force them down after a few minutes of blasting away.

[alpine tiger]

oh ,credit also separate !? ,, In past i was cheese credit of watch lvl

I thought e credits shared

[feral knoll]

no longer possible; credits and materials are not shared, was patched ages ago. Not sure how farming loot to sell to vendor is complicated tho.

[cerulean parrot]

My ubiconnect did not offer the pts when it was available

[unique bramble]

But the inlaya woman allows you to share mats between characters. Only Credits are untransferable

[alpine tiger]

so only way ,, is sell junks

[feral knoll]

is that still current? or are we referring to something from years ago.

[unique bramble]

If you create a new character now and go to the woman at the crafting station, she can give shared material and blueprints.

[feral knoll]

nice, but either way, still have to get the materials to transfer between; I am not sure a new character getting materials during watch level up is any faster than existing character levelling watch. Same with farming gear.

[alpine tiger]

Is that worth to lvl up expertise fast ?

[unique bramble]

Well the SHD level will not change so it doesn't matter which character you give the filaments.

[quaint crest]

Is there a chat or a forum with someone from the div 2 team actually in it to send evidence of blatant and flagrant cheating or is it like everyone says and no one cares unless it has to do with pve?

[feral knoll]

This. It's not going to be any faster, and a fully decked out character is going to clear content faster than a new one.

[celest maple]

meow

[feral knoll]

very top of #rules there are contact details.

[alpine tiger]

so what suggestion to get expertise fast ?

[quaint crest]

It looked like that was just the report thing for Ubisoft which does nothing and you can add evidence too or are you sayings it's something else?

[feral knoll]

sell loot, buy printer filament, or target mods in countdown/ retaliation if you have more or less run out of things to gain expertise in, then that's all you have left. There's no 'fastest' way at that point.

[unique bramble]

Just keeping grinding filaments, from the watch, from mods, there is not a faster way honestly.

[celest maple]

countdown and use printer filimenrs once you reached the point where countdown doesn’t drop much anymore. and try using the exotics since they feel long to me

[feral knoll]

There is an official discord for such things or the support website. If we could all just randomly claim people cheat without evidence half the player base would end up banned due to false claims.

[quaint crest]

Do you happen to have that since apparently this isn't the official div 2 discord then?

[feral knoll]

Again, the link to the official discord and support site are at the top of the rules list; it includes reporting players.

[polar thorn]

chd with lots of STATUS effect for some reasons

[urban spear]

what is this... gunner location revealed thingy? first time seeing it ever

[polar thorn]

well im here to grind tokens only for upcoming LMG cache

[feral knoll]

mmm, I found it too random; lots of yellow or blue stats.

[quaint crest]

Thank you that's what I was asking when I asked if it was different then the normal report system appreciate it

[polar thorn]

it reveals 2 vendors with limited time, better find both of them quickly

[polar thorn]

RNG hates me

[unique bramble]

Basically everytime you find a green shirt NPC with ??? Above his head. We called him the snitch. When you talk to him, he reveal two vendors location.

Danny Weaver sells caches in exchange of textiles (yellow currency)

And the other one sells named items for normal credits.

[feral knoll]

there are two hidden vendors, that can be discovered by talking to 'the snitch' who is also a dude that hides in about forty something places around the washington map. One vendor sells weapons and gear, the other will trade apparel tokens for various caches. Vendors have a small white shopping cart symbol.

Let's try replying to the right person, lol.

[unique bramble]

And they are not 24/7 open so check if they are open/close. And they reset every week.

[urban spear]

ooow its snitch guy

[urban spear]

just appeared in retail thats it lol

[unique bramble]

He can do that? Man, he is powerful.

[urban spear]

yea i seen the vendors before. its just. im not impressed >.> the loots is... yea...

[feral knoll]

the snitch has a few spots out in the open so I imagine it's possible you could be sprinting past him. If the guy had ??? above his head, that'd be him.

[unique bramble]

The Danny guy has two legacy caches every week if you want the dyes (paints) from previous seasons.

[torpid ocean]

bruh, isn't the point of the laptops the hostile upload? getting them to 100% should stop the timer it's so dumb

[median prairie]

Man I could not get into the PTS, kept deltaing trying to login

[feral knoll]

PTS has closed as of a little earlier. Hopefully people can get in for any next one.

[urban spear]

thats it? only paints?

[unique bramble]

And named items from previous seasons. Better than nothing.

[urban spear]

im a sucker for cosmetics but man. only paints T_T

[distant girder]

Hey, sorry if this is the wrong chat to ask for help with raids
Can someone invite me into an active clan?

[zenith urchin]

you can get all the old seasonal content from legacy season caches, but his prestige caches have paints as a bonus

his shop is mainly just a way to dump textiles

[distant girder]

Should spare us the same animation every time I gain +80 textiles

[unique bramble]

Just waiting for them to add a [insert random name] tech guy to sell stuff in exchange for my SHD tech.

[feral knoll]

#lfg-raid-pc if keen on raids, #td2-clan-recruitment if hunting for a clan; in case you can't see them in the list.

[distant girder]

Cool cool, thanks!

[zenith urchin]

tim apple

[urban spear]

ahhh yea. i almost got most things bought with textiles lol

[unique bramble]

There is a discord server called GCrock, they primarily focused on helping div2 players in raids.

[feral knoll]

john agent.

[distant girder]

I'll be sure to ask around there, too

[zenith urchin]

everyone actually knows our name, they were referring to us with the surname not our job post

john "agent" agent

[unique bramble]

Not John, we already have too many Johnson characters already

[silver eagle]

Anyone found a decent ceska piece today? All I got is yellow attributes. Basically useless

Oh I mean proto in roosevelt

[urban spear]

almost exp 30 ALMOST T_T

[feral knoll]

I managed one ceska piece with CHC/ CHD (backpack); everything else was just random blue/ yellow stats. I'll just wait until I can convert existing into proto; the RNG machine dislikes me today.

[polar thorn]

Okay, prototype prayer with max DTOC

[silver eagle]

What's your expertise level?

I'm only 20

Waiting for that proficiency event like a child waiting for santa

Once we get it I'll be exp 30 in few minutes

[celest maple]

iron lung lowkey hitting first time using it, there’s a build around it right

[opaque stump]

So correct me if im wrong, but won't walking around in the DZ (even the pve one) next season be a massive nerf? You can't use your Proto gear, all the talents are nerfed into the ground, and global events get turned off. So you're just gonna suck in there.

[mighty creek]

Should be good with OD or EP.

[celest maple]

from i seen, the main issue is the reloading debuff being extremely slow. enemies are tougher so not sure if they’re using pvp stats or pve. proto gear in the DZ would lowkey make it “boring” yk since you can easily breeze it

[celest maple]

ou i got both imma check it out need to max it for expertise anyways

[ornate crystal]

i think they want us to rely on global modifiers that is going to be for that or som. personally im just gon be farming proto or whatever i nvr care into putting in the time and effort for som to get taken away once im get used to so i dont even bother tbh

[kind veldt]

enemies are scalling to the total amount of players in the entire zone apparently

[celest maple]

ohh ok, i do know there’s a max of 4 hunters i think 1 per player thats gonna extract

[frigid merlin]

Dank Zone next season?

[tender wave]

Can have up to 12 players in a single DZ so presumably that many hunters if everyone goes to the same extraction

[vague mesa]

Oh I didn’t know you could use crafted gear for the donation projects for regulus

[civic ridge]

Supposedly due to last gen consoles and xplay it's limited to 4 (sauce: 🥇 , hence supposedly)

[kind veldt]

Didnt it say replica for the revolver? I remember people getting stuck they didnt have the blueprint

[vague mesa]

idk, I’m only on the part where I have to donate high end gear and a few raid mats but I have to wait until tomorrow for more raid mats

[unique bramble]

I think you also didn't know that if you have a journey objective like: sell an item you can buy it from a guy and sell him the same item you just bought from him

[vague mesa]

understandable

also why the hell is my summit on normal, it was on heroic last time I was on

[celest maple]

an exotic dropped for me and it was the fast leather belt 🫩i own the holster already

[delicate plume]

you know how we have those "daily projects" there is a project where one of them requires you to obtain 3 belts for turn in and the fast leather belt is one of the items i would stash it for that project when it comes or cash it in if you have it already

[celest maple]

prob or the host i’m playing with, doing retal and another just dropped. random

[umbral dock]

fastest event pass is prio objectives, yes?

[celest maple]

yes

[vernal void]

i absolutely hate esclation

this game is terrible. why are you not match make into the mission and not the tier?!

[leaden dagger]

what would master rosevelt island be considered? i'm trying to lfg but idk what channel to g o to

[vernal void]

i need prototype cysiak

[leaden dagger]

??

[vernal void]

the brand set is a crit one and i would like to get it on prototype

[brave idol]

ceska?

[vernal void]

yes, i am in fire fight

[delicate plume]

Possibly? not really sure but its good to hold onto it when you need it youll thank yourself for keeping it when you need it most! ive done it plenty of times already

[vernal void]

could they just make it so you can prototype anything for little cost

i am so done wiht escalation

[cinder nacelle]

If you want to pick the mission then you have to pay the tokens and host.

[vernal void]

matchmake does not work like that

[silver eagle]

And then you set your social to open group and wait?

[cinder nacelle]

If you pick 'matchmake' it will put you in a queue to join any mission. If you select the mission and are ready to pay the tokens, that's a different option I think. Actually go to the mission start and set in up from there.

[unique bramble]

45 exotic components per piece doesn't seem a low cost.

[silver eagle]

Matchmaking is a pain in div2. I can do 2 solo missions faster than waiting for 3 more people and then they leave or something

[random atlas]

How do you get the quick step

[cinder nacelle]

Yes, then you just wait for people to join.

[unique bramble]

Find someone that has the houndsman bounty

[vernal void]

and no need for expertise 30 bs. 45 exotic component is expensive and the other materials for it is expensive

[polar thorn]

45 is pretty cheap compared to old update

[random atlas]

Is there a way to get it at the event table @unique bramble

[unique bramble]

What the hell is an event table? You mean the event shop?

[polar thorn]

old version was like 90 exo comps

[random atlas]

Events vendor

[unique bramble]

No, it's currently locked behind the houndsman bounty specifically

[zenith urchin]

well not really, it also appears in any other seasonal event with unique drops or caches
but none of them are on rn

[unique bramble]

Yeah, but such seasonal event is not currently available

[zenith urchin]

doesnt meant you didnt post misinformation bud

[vernal void]

i am so pissed off right now. first i load into a mission i do not want and getting very little amounts of gear I want is pain. just to RNG my way into the piece of gear. LFG is like pain. Matchmaking is pain. Open group is like praying for people to come in (the last time i did this is only one person cam). Solo is pain and i risk token for terrible rates for prototype. Prototype gear upgrading is gated behind expertise....

[zenith urchin]

anyways i hope we log in after maint one day and quickstep is just gone

[ornate crystal]

no pls dont stop it i mean it

[dusty walrus]

Tomorrow any new thing coming to game

[unique bramble]

A new hunter

[ornate crystal]

i love running fast tho

[vernal void]

Even the citrine grind and the old nercomech grind in warframe is not as painful as escalation grinding.

[polar thorn]

Well, prototype is meant for end-game players although some low SHD players manage to get it and have better stats than high SHD players.

Quite sad that every agent including the new one is trying to get prototype gears BEFORE even understanding the basics of this game.

[unique bramble]

If you think escalation is painful you should see how it was like to farm every single classified gear on the division 1 on resistance mode.

[zenith urchin]

escalation needs to be locked behind some other achievement
maybe expertise 30 or shd 1000

[polar thorn]

Good suggestion, but too late to turn back right now.

• I really hope they're coming fast with tokens update

[vernal void]

shd1000 is more reasonable. expertise 30 is stupid and I think they need to buff getting to that level.

[zenith urchin]

see i disagree with this mindset i would be completely fine with losing all my proto cores and my proto frenzy gr9 if it meant newbies will stop trying to grind protos

[polar thorn]

Expertise 40 : Prototype Exotics

[zenith urchin]

rip the bandaid off so we can apply medicine

frankly prototype gear is the type of shit that should normally be tested throughout multiple pts seasons

[vernal void]

i would prefer that they can just farm the prototype core to upgrade the EXISITING gear you have farm from the other modes. cheaply. so it does not go to waste =_=

[zenith urchin]

they rushed it out the door and now we are experiencing the consequences

[ornate crystal]

they nvr gon stop that will always be a thing

[urban spear]

proto gear farm isnt that bad imo. just yea... lvl 200shd that running full set with health or armor using a shield and dying every 1 min. is.. kinda anoying

[vernal void]

They should revamp getting to expertise 30 to be faster than what is currently. Shd 1000 is not too bad to get to. that way they do not have to FUNNEL people into escalation.

[urban spear]

imo no. big calculation brain. took me about a month. and i work as well

[polar thorn]

Expertise 25 here, DON'T MAKE IT WORSE or I will have your soul.

[urban spear]

"go do countdowm" yea for gear sets and brands. then lvl the rest in retail. yet ppl arr so convinved for countdown🙄

[unique bramble]

Who uses blue on escalation? 💀

[urban spear]

new ppl. especially new ppl running shield or other dumb things

[polar thorn]

People who bitching about full red core is bad for escalation

[vernal void]

you know that is still a quite a bit of time nah. give some mercy here.

[zenith urchin]

i mean countdown works for literally everything in the expertise menu except seasonal and dz named items

[brave idol]

did more than hundreds of countdown at this point. gets stale at some point

[unique bramble]

Wait until the enemy with symbol start healing himself and they don't know why.

[dark rose]

This

[urban spear]

it does. but given the amount i didnt extract due well.. ppl... itd not worth it

[polar thorn]

At this point, I ditch my dps build because holy shit my DPS teammate is running reviver and assault turret

[fervent sierra]

Will the PvE Dz be a toggle option or is next season there's no more pvp?

[urban spear]

named drops from hunters. which u 9/10 dont kill cuz ppl

[zenith urchin]

skill issue i think
challenging countdown is easy enough for you to carry objectives while people run around like headless chickens

[fervent sierra]

Also normalization in a PvE only mode is dumb

[unique bramble]

They will rotate the three DZ types with the three different DZs.

[zenith urchin]

if you draw aggro from a hunter they will gun that hunter down like NPCs

[fervent sierra]

Ah ok

[urban spear]

i run heroic lol. why do challenging🙄

[zenith urchin]

...because challenging is much easier and the public matchmaking for it isnt a shitfest of people looking to get carried???

[polar thorn]

I wish deflector shield still good nowdays😭

[urban spear]

u mean going solo?

[polar thorn]

I would love to rip my account for being bullet sponge again

[brave idol]

how long have you been playing?

[zenith urchin]

i feel like im being ragebaited

[unique bramble]

This brings me back to the pre WONY days where a single outcast rusher could kill you on DZ

[urban spear]

bout 2months? i think. nothing exceptional

[fervent sierra]

Just hopped on n I didn't notice they added another event

[urban spear]

returned after a LOMG time

[vernal void]

the irony is that I think countdown and retaliation rate have gone down a bit (not by that much). so less people are running them due to escalation content.

[fervent sierra]

Drip seems cool

[unique bramble]

You should see how dead is summit then

[polar thorn]

Well, that's one way torturing yourself.

Countdown's rewards are capped to Heroic difficulty, so choosing Challenging will get Heroic rewards quality

[zenith urchin]

summit is alive and well because its the only grindable legendary content

[polar thorn]

Unless you prefer challenge, I'd respect you

[urban spear]

meh i rather laugh at ppl fing it up🤣

[polar thorn]

Agent with joyful intentions, interesting.

[fervent sierra]

Crazy them adding a pve dz and also rebalancing pvp

[urban spear]

its hilarious to troll them just to run to vip and see chat explode🤣

[vernal void]

at this point, we need better soloable content for expertise grinding and gear grinding in general. Make it so that prototype gear does not invalidate the hard grind you did in previous modes.

[ornate crystal]

is that suppose to be for one season ?

[polar thorn]

If rogue was an option, you're going down!

[dusty walrus]

Tomorrow match making system for escalation changes or not

[urban spear]

i just use smoke bomb holster🤣

[vernal void]

is there?

[unique bramble]

Glove*

[polar thorn]

I wonder if scanner/banshee bypass the smoke bomb

[urban spear]

i dont agree. they should add less solo content imo

[polar thorn]

I never actually think about that

[urban spear]

oh. well whatever.🤣

[unique bramble]

Nah, just call the extraction early, if they complain, you say:
The objective says: call for extraction 🤖

[zenith urchin]

i still wish you could betray the other sub-group

[urban spear]

oh man thatll piss em off badly. at 2:30min before extract😵 thnx gonna do this now

ill get mass reported🤣

[unique bramble]

Don't forget to put Regen with exodus and reviver, to add spice to the wound

[urban spear]

and a shield cuz why not

and just die or extract

[vernal void]

when you lose your marbles and just need chill thing to do that actually helps. then I would want some solo content. Losing tokens to run, matchmaking into the wrong mission, rogue agent messing up a run, lack of build diversity, playing a skill/attention heavy dps style. these all recipes for burnout. I have friends who just stop playing because of this mode.

[celest maple]

sounds peak

[unique bramble]

You better extract, leave them to the hunters and Kelso saying AGENT DOWN!

[urban spear]

then switch up the mode. ur doing 1 mode only. go do summit or pvp or whatever. this is legit up to u and the choices u make in the game.

because you guys get burned out due doing only 1 thing instead of having fun. we the rest of the players shouldnt be punished by your bad choices

[polar thorn]

Darkzone Countdown!?

[urban spear]

oh boy haha. the raaaaaaggeeeee

[polar thorn]

That would be fun

[unique bramble]

Survival!?!

[zenith urchin]

speaking of extracting early
i once had one newbie in a full lobby of experienced players who shot the flare immediately
we all looked at them disappointed then i magdumped them

[urban spear]

and just leave

[celest maple]

happened to me but someone just started insulting him for that

[polar thorn]

More like battle royal

[zenith urchin]

it would be very funny if i could go rogue and eliminate tjat newbie

[urban spear]

its a newbie. i understand why he does becuz he didnt know lol

[polar thorn]

The moment Hunters are down, we're shooting each other.

[urban spear]

yea theres the bad side of the community lol

[zenith urchin]

well yeah i wasnt actually mad at them lmfao, but i wouldnt be surprised if some people were

[unique bramble]

Yeah, unfortunately the red canisters aren't enough to down a player.

[urban spear]

had it before too. i facepalmed lol. i explained to him why he didnt have to. run after same guy. and he didnt shoot flare👍

stop gatekeeping info from new ppl. thatll help a lot

[celest maple]

happens not everyone knows about shooting the flare in the last 10 sec

[drowsy tendon]

determined be broken as hell

[vernal void]

And how many people are also frasturated by that mode. i say a lot of people. NO you are not getting punish EVERYONE is getting punished by prototype gear and esclation itself. It lowers the player count in other modes and cause a rat race for the prototype gear as it invalidates your old gear. so no. ONE MODE should not punish other modes. #nerfesclation

[urban spear]

yea exsctly. doesnt hurt to tell them how usually ppl run it does it?

[urban spear]

but this is a bit differemt then the situstion u chose lol.

but i get u yea. it is frustrating to run escal with shd 300.

YET THEY PLAY BETTER THEN MOST 5 DIGITS PPL

[unique bramble]

Yup, that is the thing I hate about veterans sometimes.
Especially when people are just waiting for you to start the countdown without telling you that you got promoted to leader.

[urban spear]

aside the fact the drops in escal is mor for cores then actual sets cuz like... not even 1 maxed roll i got so far so🙄

[urban spear]

fair. but i met vets that do explain. not many but i did encounter em.
why is it that hard to explain it? go play warframe. try a be a vet gatekeeper there. itll backfire. then come back and dont be a D

not that hard to use that magical keyboard for something else then only for wasd🤣

[polar thorn]

I think I'm gonna miss the event too much

[urban spear]

lol then run escalatiom after the event and see ur tokens disappear of failing😭

[vernal void]

honestly, it is not the people that make frustrating most of the time. its the mode it self and all implications and consequences. also warframe way better though.

[celest maple]

retal will always be a peak mode

[urban spear]

how is the mode reponsible for this😑

[polar thorn]

Nah, it's just the numbers.

Seeing my GR9 doing 4m per hit is like adrenaline shot

[urban spear]

yea it tickles ur nips quiet a bit

[ornate crystal]

okay folks its either nap time or lunch time please don't forget to eat or take a nap you are not yourself when you are hangry or grumpy

[brave idol]

my GR9 would never...

[unique bramble]

The last thing we would need is a vendor that exchange retaliation materials for non-blueprint caches. I mean, countdown has it, descent, now even DZ will have it.

[urban spear]

remove the coin shop from escalation

[unique bramble]

And replace for a retaliation shop.

[vernal void]

new mode that everyone is playing to grind for prototype gear is draining players from countdown and other game modes that help you grind. It reinforces the very thin build meta as mostly only striker and FI are what is left. Soloable content will just allow you to do those mode without people if there is not enough people to do THEM.

[urban spear]

hence why exp 30 or shd 1k rule. this solves a lot.

[unique bramble]

Yeah, I never thought I would miss the True sons companions to help in escalation

[urban spear]

every gear u got. basically. just lock it down so u cant equip it until u got it. not that hard to program

or like just unlock escalation mode at 1k

[brave idol]

so many terrible ideas you guys have, glad you are not devs

[vernal void]

i agree with 1000 shd level but they need rework expertise to be far less of grind... the climb is just not great...

[urban spear]

how is it terrible? if its end game. it should be end gsme and not the tutorial mode how to use alejandro

[vernal void]

and the devs are no better with escalation content you know

[unique bramble]

What's your suggestion? I'm open minded.

[brave idol]

you have been away for ever came back 2 months ago and solved it all

[urban spear]

so? div 2 wasnt the only game i played in how long im alive lol

or lock tier escal. behind shd lvls. 500 t1. t10 at 1k

[polar thorn]

I would prefer high tiers are locked by certain SHD levels

They can play Escalation but cant make it pass tier 3

Reach the requirements SHD level in order to play higher tiers

so either they bust themselves in NBA or get nothing in Escalation

[random laurel]

My suggestion: to unlock next tier you must do the mission solo on the current tier. That way you can prove that you are competent and have the correct gear to do the next one

[urban spear]

so u get more skill based on lvls. akam getting usrd to the end game.

its not like in warframe u do lvl cap at when u just unlocked SP

or ffxiv doing hardcore mode bosses when u just unlocked it

[urban spear]

this is legit a bad idea lol

[random laurel]

Bruh

[urban spear]

lemme explain

[random laurel]

Naw uh

[vernal smelt]

would there be downtime tomorrow ?

[urban spear]

the fact why its bad.
its an multiplayer focused game not solo.
gear on solo is easier to kill then full party.
Meaning. when u think u can handle it in solo. doesnt mean u can in a 4man party. it scales.

and YOU WILL DIE. if ur so used to solo play with a 4m party

so u be more of an annoyance and drawback then helpfull

[polar thorn]

Ok shrek, solo T10
