[smoky stag]

same. very fun

[fathom vine]

how do you increase exotic dmg

my chameleon is 95k dmg rn and my currently equipped ar is 135k dmg

i wanna get it to or above that

[azure lintel]

Once you get the exotic, you can buy a reconfiguration blueprint from Inaya at the White House, which you can use to reroll the stat percentages on the exotic

[fathom vine]

thats all yu can do?

i dont think i dan gain 40k dmg from that lol

[azure lintel]

What is the fire rate on your current AR?

[polar chasm]

well, i do think it can go above that, dont forget the extra damage it can gain, what was it, an extra 90% i think

[fathom vine]

my current one

how yu check fr

[azure lintel]

To the right of the damage

[polar chasm]

damage on a weapon doesnt say anything if the firerate is low

[fathom vine]

thats rpm

[azure lintel]

Yes

[fathom vine]

its 600

chameleon is 900

[polar chasm]

600 is pretty low

[azure lintel]

And you're wondering why the damage is higher than the Chameleon?

[fathom vine]

but chaneleon is 44.8k dmg lower

[fathom vine]

no i wanna know how i can get the chameleon higher

[polar chasm]

but it has 50% more firerate

[fathom vine]

so how can i get it higher

just buy going to craft station and doing that

[azure lintel]

You can't aside from getting higher percentages on its stats

[fathom vine]

then why do other ppl have way higher dmg on it when i watch yt

[polar chasm]

and get 6x weapon damage on all gear

[fathom vine]

so keep using my current ar?

[azure lintel]

More damage when they hit the target or more damage on the weapon's stats?

[fathom vine]

bro wat

[azure lintel]

At level 40 each Chameleon will have the exact same base damage

[fathom vine]

thats dumb

[azure lintel]

No it's not?

[fathom vine]

its base is 87.7k?

[faint geyser]

you can also increases the dmg with expertise

[fathom vine]

how

[faint geyser]

lvl the weapon up to lvl 10.
then upgrade it if your overall expertise lvl is high

[azure lintel]

Chameleon is a pretty underwhelming weapon outside of its damage buffs anyway, so I wouldn't bother trying to make it work

Any AR you grab already works better

[fathom vine]

how can i get lady death it sucks tryna find it

[polar chasm]

Chameleon can do alot of damage with the buffs

[azure lintel]

SMG targeted loot

Well, yeah, it's a monster with the buffs

[polar chasm]

targeted loot in the summit

[fathom vine]

ima jus do countdown

[azure lintel]

Problem is magdumping an enemy for two years to get the buffs

[fathom vine]

no summit sucks

[polar chasm]

its not hard to get the buff, and also if you go out of combat and you still have the buff, then the timer will be reset and paused and you start your next combat with full buff again

[hybrid ore]

LD is underpowered compared to most high-end SMG's with decent talents, especially factoring in dtooc.
its purpose is very simple: speedruns, and only speedruns.

[faint geyser]

start with getting the reload speed buff, more reload= faster acquisition of other buffs

unless potato aim

[azure lintel]

It's not hard, just annoying and forcing me to not headshot for 2/3 of the buffs

Bad meme weapon at best

[real musk]

agents. it’s sunday again & i’m giving away 2 exitics to anyone who need them. drop me an invite if ur below shd 500 & i’ll share them with u. cheers!

[raw igloo]

Just added you I’m Dat_ManX

[fathom vine]

yo i need

[fathom vine]

where do you true patriot gear

[azure lintel]

Targeted loot as well

[fathom vine]

okok

[maiden belfry]

From now, I only host countdown lobbies, best decision ever

Don't have to worry about lobby leader kicking, sleeping, or pulling ahole moves

[proven moth]

How do I upgrade that?

[molten herald]

are there only four ways to overcharge? Acosta, BTSU, future perfect, and energize?

thats all I can find in the spreadsheet at least

[chilly bramble]

whats the best way to earn Field Recon Data?

[azure lintel]

Yellow cores on your armor; the ones that say "skill tier" on the stats list

[proven moth]

I see... dang.

[potent chasm]

True Patriot should get an indestructible armor buff on the 4th of July

[waxen herald]

Uhhhh can i report people for kicking at the end of a countdown?

[azure lintel]

Efficient way to farm System Corruption?
or wlel, is it even damn worth it?

[vale ledge]

3piece yaahl is better, stats wise

tho if you like the unlimited med pack and intimidate gimmick, feel free to use 4pc syscorrupt

[azure lintel]

Yeah it also gives me those chills, makes me feel like if i was on Division 1 with instant medkits..

God i miss that game :(

[potent chasm]

You delete it?

I feel like I was punched in the lungs, being sick sucks

[tender wave]

I doubt it's a bannable offence but report anyway just in case: at the very least, the devs need to realise this is rapidly becoming a problem (I've seen quite a few reports here and in the forums over the last few days)

I wonder if it's the dz trolls that have been forced into countdown by the lack of farmers to prey on in the dz (since target loot and damage glitches are keeping most people away)

[quick tendon]

o7 Morning! It's been over a year since I played. Looks like quite a few changes. Last time I played, I had a FI healer build I used in Legendary groups.

Is there a QuickRef of changes and additions, aside from patch notes?

I've also picked up D1 on Steam, so been playing that too; although now I redownloaded it for the PS so I can play my old combat Medic.. and need to redo her build too.

[reef reef]

When did you last play division 2

[quick tendon]

Over a year and a half, at least.

I got sucked back into MMOs 😄 (XIV)

[reef reef]

So around season 2 or 3, i'm guessing?

[quick tendon]

Maybe? Last I remeber, Faye Lau was a traitor and she was dealt with.

Or at least I hope so. Last night I remember I need to talk to Kelso (still haven't)

[reef reef]

So season 4, gotcha. You've just missed the reruns of the 4 original seasons and then the start of the newest season.

[quick tendon]

Oh good. And saw some new gear but didn't get into those, thus stuck with my old gear/builds. Which still work. Although the proficiency is new

[reef reef]

The main things that changed were Intimidate got much worse in a standard build, shields cant proc insync, and now when a shield breaks you get confused for a sec.

[potent chasm]

Any idea what Season X will be?

[reef reef]

As for additions, Heartbreaker is the new gearset, recently tuned down but still one of the best dps and armor sets in game, a new exotic sniper named Dread Edict, gets headshot dmg when you headshot someone and refills its mag but has low damage so good luck, the catharsis mask that heals you after you take enough hits & also cleanses statuses but why are you getting shot so much in the first place, and then bluescreen, a wierder version of Scorpio, but its an LMG.

[potent chasm]

And their designs aren't as cool as the other exotics

[reef reef]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[quick tendon]

Ahhh yeah, Got lots of heartbreakers and a cartharis(?) last night in a legendary run. 😮

[potent chasm]

A trade off of 2 new exotic weapons, but oh well

[quick tendon]

Ooooh Bluescreen? I like the Scorpio. I might have to pop open a lot of exotic cases to see if any pops out.

[reef reef]

Its not as useful as scorpio, but similar in theory

[potent chasm]

Its very pulse based

[haughty summit]

*skills based

[quick tendon]

Ahhh okay. I'd have to rebuild for a LMG usage anyway 😄 But something to think about.

[tender wave]

You'll want to start stockpiling exotic components for future expertise upgrades (but helpfully material caps have been hugely increased)

[potent chasm]

I say pulse based because all the things it gives the pulse can do

[quick tendon]

That expertise/proficiency thing threw me off last night. Was wondering what that was about. but still, it was a fun run to try and get used to things.

[reef reef]

Expertise is just small increases in stats here and there, up to a cap.

[quick tendon]

Thanks gentlemen/ladies.

[potent chasm]

Any idea what happens to the Base of Ops from the first game?

[tender wave]

There are also pulse resistance mods now so you can make a pulse immune dz build without needing both Yaahl and Syscorr (if pvp is your thing)

[quick tendon]

The old PO? Thought it got bombed or somthing

[desert crystal]

how do i complet the rats and bones project

[tender wave]

Iron Horse

[desert crystal]

is that the only way for that one

[wheat zinc]

If it’s for the final regulus project, then yes.

[azure lintel]

Guy just dropped me a mantis so happy rn

[peak crypt]

Grats man. It is a very fun sniper rifle.

[pearl salmon]

Can anyone help me floor 10??

[azure lintel]

I loved the nemisis but figured I'd give the mantis a go

[faint geyser]

im starting to think bighorn doesnt exist lol, been farming legend summit for 2 hrs now

[iron pelican]

hey guys im kinda new can sobody do some story missions with me i cant find pepol in matchmaking

[smoky stag]

boss floor? 90/100?

[faint geyser]

ya

[smoky stag]

tough luck

[desert crystal]

it is

[azure lintel]

Lol I gave up on the big horn a long time ago 🤣

[tender wave]

I got one on the first ever legendary run I did. Sorry. (It's not actually very good though)

[smoky stag]

find yourselves some helpful people with an alt account who can assist you with an F100 oxi farm on legendary

[polar chasm]

Or you can just farm floor 10 bosses

[smoky stag]

only 1 boss

[polar chasm]

ofc with directives on

[polar chasm]

repaet floor 10`s

kill the boss and then die

[smoky stag]

if you're thinking leave npc alive method, thats too inefficient

[azure lintel]

Lol don't think I've ever gotten an exotic off of a legendary mission 😂

[smoky stag]

100F oxi can be done in 2 mins or less, you can run 9 directives, you get the exp. you dont need to leave. the layout stays the same, you get 5 hunters

[tender wave]

nope: directives don't help bighorn drop (it's not in the target loot pool, only the boss drop loot pool) and if you reset f10 by dying instead of travelling to lobby & back, you won't get the boss loot again

[smoky stag]

this

[tender wave]

hence floor 90 is better: 3 bosses and plenty of adds so it's easy to leave one alive

(or f100 if you've got a team that know how to save the checkpoint and clear it really quickly)

[polar chasm]

then they changed it, it worked a few months ago (boss loot drop that is)

i ran summit a few months back using the floor 10 with directives boss kill method to get a second scorpio and then i got loot every time i killed the boss

[short crescent]

hey all new to game and keep seeing in raid chat RV followed by a number whats it mean plz

[polar chasm]

Raid Voice # channel for discord

[short crescent]

ahh lol makes sense ty

[narrow pewter]

Hey Agent's JTF Liaison here hows DC/NYC fairing

[azure lintel]

It's going wbu

[viscid cargo]

bruh i run dz, (not lmg targeted) and i get 4 pestilence in a row

instead of an exo i want

[neat sedge]

dumb question for someone 6k+ SHD and expertise 17; whats the best targeted loot for exotics, I.E. which subclass has the most droppable exotics in it?

[azure lintel]

let me guess, you trying to farm for exotic uh...armor and guns just to dismantle them

[neat sedge]

that and I want to complete my Godroll with no optimization Exotic collection; including all 3 variant colours of the Acostas

[vale ledge]

godrolls 🤦‍♂️

[neat sedge]

got 2/3 still need the Green Acosta's

[woeful dagger]

@fair otter I added you.

[azure lintel]

well, guns

[hybrid ore]

There's a list of all the Exotics pinned 📌 over in #td2-build-advice.
Just count how many of each Exotics are there and you'll see.

[azure lintel]

but, idk which guns
probably assault rifle

[hybrid ore]

Actually nope.

they basically all have 3.
that are farmable in regular TL, not counting Raid-locked or Leg-locked gear.

[neat sedge]

also probably going to max out all of my skills to 20 since they are account wide, unlike weapons and specialization weapons

and I am now Expertise level 18

2 more to go

[summer totem]

my game is stuck during loading at 9 percent

anyone had problem like this?

[hybrid ore]

The 2 fixes afaik are as follows: spam escape a few times until it unsticks.
restart the program.

[neat sedge]

SMG's and Rifles seems to be the best for farming Exotic comps since there are 3 grindable drops, MMR and LMG would also be at 3 if Dread Edict and Blue Screen were in the drop pool, AR's is 4 with 2 locked, Pistols is 2 with 1 locked,

[vale ledge]

dread edict and blue screen are in the LZ pool

[summer totem]

i did both, restarted the game, it still stuck loading at 9 percent

[neat sedge]

incorrect, you can only get Dread Edict, Blue Screen, and Catharsis from Mission completion loot, or Exotic caches, they will not be dropped by targeted loot

[vale ledge]

okay, for now they will drop once you completed the season. but in next season they will be in the usual pool

[hybrid ore]

Actually not true, all the "Season Pass" Exotics for this season were in the loot pool already.
there was a whole big thing about it.

olive branches and whatnot.

[vale ledge]

hmm, i wouldn't know this tho, they keep dropping in summit for me

i assume it is natural

[hybrid ore]

RNG be RNG.

[plush otter]

currently the new exotics are not in the targetted loot pool due to an bug, hopefully it will be fixed in the upcomming patch on the 5th, but they are not targetable currently

[hybrid ore]

I was told that was just the DZ, although it wouldn't shock me if it was the case.

[plush otter]

you can still get them as a full random drop

[vale ledge]

if it is about targetable, seems like this is bugged for everything haha

[plush otter]

its the whole system in dz and the new nameds and exotics

[vale ledge]

someone forgot the update the lookup table/csv

[hybrid ore]

At the end of the day, all we can do is speculate.
"something" broke, and now "something" is getting fixed.

[proper fiber]

I personally find the prospect of locking Gear to specific playstyles to be a bad concept. It is good you can attain it from caches, and that sets which exclusively give you benefits for PVP can only be attained there makes sense too, but especially weapons and normal gear should be attainable anywhere.

[hybrid ore]

Actually that's not strictly true, DZ-locked gear can all be obtained from outside of the DZ.

[vale ledge]

well, named cache is a 'workaround' for DZ phobic people

[proper fiber]

That is why I said it's good you can get it from caches

[neat sedge]

also the new countdown shop

[hybrid ore]

Or those of us who are in very quiet corners of the world when it comes to PvP.
named, legacy season, certain vendors, there's a few ways.

[vale ledge]

i think the clan shop did also sell yaahl and stuff, tho i dont remember nowadays

[neat sedge]

Yhaal does get dropped in Clan vendor every now and then

[proper fiber]

Wouldn't call it a Phobia. Some people just don't enjoy PvP

[vale ledge]

hunter killer also pretty PvP focused

[neat sedge]

its how I had Proficient on Yhaal as soon as the update dropped :p

then there are people like me know likes PvP, but only really wants to PvP with PKer's killing farmers is boring

[vale ledge]

there is conflict if you want to PvP

[neat sedge]

I would much prefer dying with rank 40 manhunt, then clearing at rank 150 because farmer don't fight back

[vale ledge]

and there is the DZ

DZ is problematic

[neat sedge]

I would disagree, the current variation of DZ is problematic

[hybrid ore]

The DZ does exactly what it's advertised to do: be mean.
I like that the devs pull few punches when it comes to it.

[proper fiber]

In Div1 I enjoyed the DZ because it was big and you could sneak around

[vale ledge]

too small, the new DZ is

[proper fiber]

Doesn't feel as good in Div2

[neat sedge]

the large DZ in div1 worked perfectly because you could avoid the rogues

[proper fiber]

^

[vale ledge]

and multiple manhunts might work

nowadays just 1 giant manhunt, per DZ

[neat sedge]

I remember I used to get Classified drops and the Reddit discord had a looking for gear section, and I would always have farmers grab them off me, we would go to the Extraction in DZ04 because its hands down the best since it was a 2 minute run from any of the nearby checkpoints

or was it called gear giveaway...

[proper fiber]

I got System corruption a lot outside the DZ for a while in '21

[neat sedge]

probably from season caches, since it is in season 3

[summer totem]

what is wrong with this game

out of nowhere it stops loading forever, i cant get into the game at all

[neat sedge]

follow @hybrid ore advice from earlier my man

that or maybe do a full uninstall re install of Uplay and the Division

worked for me before

[hybrid ore]

A repair can also help quite a lot, as does just restarting your PC.
I'd leave the full reinstall until last.

[neat sedge]

eh if you have a 1GBps internet speed a reinstall in a 20 minute process

[summer totem]

I just said i did that and it doesnt fix at all

reinstall, verify, turn of antivirus, close every program and run it

everything

[neat sedge]

curious isn't there a second unobtainable weapon from being a beta player? it was like the Enforcer and something else

[azure lintel]

Enforcer is a preorder bonus, it's a name Super 90 with Perfect Pummel and no third stat

[neat sedge]

I have this feeling there is a second pre order weapon I'm not thinking of

figure I should max it while I have the PF for it

[azure lintel]

it'

Ruthless? it's a different skin for Merciless, mine got deleted or disappeared somehow tho

[hybrid ore]

Nope, no other pre-order only weapons.
There was one in div1, a sawnoff called "Defiler", may be what you're thinking of.

note: it's possible to get the Enforcer even if you haven't pre-ordered, but it's quite rare.

[neat sedge]

wait really?

[hybrid ore]

According to the Spreadsheet: yes.
I pre-ordered, so I can't test that out myself.

[neat sedge]

welp I have all brands, gear sets, and skills maxed out, just have exotics and named items left and a few straggler weapons

[vale ledge]

either ruthless or lullaby

[neat sedge]

you can actually still buy that package on the ingame store

[vale ledge]

the package only gave ruthless for me

[neat sedge]

weird

[vale ledge]

yes it is weird, i did ask around Ubisoft, there is another pre-order package that gave Lullaby instead

the expertise is missing things like stinger, but oh well

TD2 is not a perfect game, I initially gave it up due to the chaotic talent/perk/trait system

maybe when we have TD2 goty edition or something haha

[haughty summit]

I mean back then gear bonuses are all over the place

[vale ledge]

it is like messier than gacha

it takes someone with an excel spreadsheet to make sense of the stats

[reef reef]

@summer totem Please use the LFG channel

[slender laurel]

So how many bounties I can collect from Public Executions and Hostage Rescue activities?

Or its infinite.

[hybrid ore]

Both are still farmable in the TL if you own them.

And since they're literally identical to the other versions of those guns, they don't really count as "new".
granted, they do take up a new slot on the DC Exotic Wall.

@azure lintel You're looking for #lfg-xbox

[novel laurel]

From everything I’ve seen on Reddit and Ubisoft forums there’s no way to get the enforcer

[hybrid ore]

I'll take actual testing by people who I trust over reddit/forum posts.

[novel laurel]

I’ve never seen one drop in game, if it does drop it wouldn’t make sense for the drop rates for that specific weapon to be lower than the rest of the high end shotguns

[hybrid ore]

Oh I see what happened here.
I stated that it's "quite rare", because there's a lot of Named Shotguns, so overall it is rare.

and I only ever farm out TL of shotguns if the zone is already running that. So for me it's double-rare.

[novel laurel]

I’m 99% sure it doesn’t drop, I was farming countdown for hours with targeted loot set to shotguns, I’ve done a lot of research because I wanted that damn gun

[hybrid ore]

I have 100% had it drop in TL, but I pre-ordered.
I can't say with absolute certainty, but the Spreadsheet is rarely flat-out wrong about something, unless it's just slow to update about a new change.

[vale ledge]

they don't drop even if you own at least one of them

you need to convert their analogue

to know whether you can convert in the first place, you are given lv1 ruthless or/and lullaby in your mailbox

[hybrid ore]

Correct enough.

[vale ledge]

that said i keep confusing between ruthless and merciless, keep disassmble the more limited one.

ended up too lazy to make 1 ruthless to grind for proficiency

[ivory cosmos]

Where and what dif is the best way to farm the merciless?

Or ruthless?

[slender laurel]

To bad I cant do classified assignments without spending money on year 1 pass..

[ocean vigil]

lf raid preferable iron horse

[hollow widget]

Hi guys, jumped back into the game today after a year or so. Is there someone who wants to help a noob? I have already a lv 40 pg

[ivory cosmos]

Where do you need help?

[hollow widget]

technically everywhere. Just rewatching some guys on builds, perks and where to get stuff

guys on youtube*

[plush otter]

targeted loot rifles at the highest difficulty and as many directives as you can handle without it slowing you way down

for the ruthless you would need to have a merciless, you can then convert it at the crafting bench to a ruthless

[ivory cosmos]

I can help you farm gears for a while before i got to sleep if you want. I’m a sharshoopter with a potato aim due to right arm injury if you ok with that.

What are you trying to build?

[hollow widget]

technician with a focus on skills

[hollow widget]

no judgment here. I'm bad too and i don't remember a thing, so..

[ivory cosmos]

Any gear you’re trying to farm? I’ll dm you my ign

[hollow widget]

no, i'm ignorant on builds. I already have som exotics, like the diamondback, so maybe something focused on that

[timber hatch]

None of those drop

[hybrid ore]

Yes thank you, that's already been established.

[timber hatch]

Not sure what "correct enough" means then, it's just simply correct.

[novel laurel]

What about the enforcer?

[timber hatch]

Same

It won't drop

[hybrid ore]

So you're saying that the Spreadsheet is wrong in this aspect?

[timber hatch]

Yes

If that's what it says anyways

[fathom vine]

im so unlucky

tryna farm LD but the boss aint spawning in the smg targeted loot area

[hybrid ore]

Note: It is possible to get this shotgun by chance even without pre-ordering. (tested)
You can see why I'm sceptical. This is very definite, not a lot of wiggle room.

[timber hatch]

Show me anyone who's gotten it in a drop ever. Or where that statement came from originally

[hybrid ore]

I'll go get the manager for you.

[potent chasm]

What shotgun?

Oh the enforcer

That was a preorder for WoNY

[neat sedge]

will do shotgun f10 farm for a year will tell you my results

[potent chasm]

I wish you luck brave one

[hybrid ore]

That is exactly the issue with stating something definitively about div2 TL farming.
You could just have horrible luck, unless a dev tells you directly, it's all just guesswork.

[timber hatch]

We can't prove a negative, but any actual piece of evidence would show us we are wrong

[neat sedge]

also the fact they shame data mining

[hybrid ore]

Me? I had a DZ locked item drop from a Rogue that attacked a CP once. I even had the screenshots to prove it.
I've seen basically no other evidence of it ever happening, but I know for a fact that it did.
Just because it's rare, doesn't mean it's impossible. All I'm saying.

[timber hatch]

It's not rare, it doesn't drop lol

[hybrid ore]

There, mini-rant over, back to cleaning the gutters.

[fiery cloud]

Hey Raucey

[plush otter]

also we have access to the drop tables trough people that know how to data mine, the dev have actually stated wrong stuff about droptables quite often, recently with chill out for example

[neat sedge]

currently exploring for stuff that is out of the way to see if I can find easter eggs, I found a door in NY that looks like it can be opened with a key, but I haven't been able to find any key's in the Sewer its in

its the Sewer system at W Thames St and Battery Pl, you have to drop the water levels to even get to this door, and you can see a crack in it indicating something behind it

[hybrid ore]

Is that the one with the chainsaw heavy nearby?
I vaguely recall that being bugged for some people.

[neat sedge]

didn't see a Chainsaw heavy in the sewer ran up the length of it 3-4 times now

[turbid aurora]

does 99.7 pulse resistance

work or does it have tk be 100

[hybrid ore]

Blind/Deaf    91
Burn    91.4
Disorient    93.8
Disrupt    95.8
Ensnare    93.8
Poison    89.2
Shock    86
Napalm (cleaners)    88.9```
That should be what you need to negate each effect.

[plush otter]

is that the one where there are 2 yellow electricty boxes on either end you have to shoot i believe

[hybrid ore]

re: pulse resistance though.
it's an odd stat, seems to need 100%, I've never really bothered with it.

[plush otter]

its befintly not the old heavy dkey drop as that is both now no longer the heavy that drops it, and its further north

[neat sedge]

I'll look for electric box's its the one with 2 yellow valves you need to turn to drop the water levels

currently killing time to get Elite Territory controls to spawn to farm level 31 purples

[hybrid ore]

I do recall one where there's a locked door, and in a nearby room there's a key in a box on the wall.

[turbid aurora]

ik them but pulse resistance isnt on there and i cant find it

[neat sedge]

ahh thats the one for the SHD tech, this isn't the same one

[turbid aurora]

nvm

chat didnt scroll im big dummy

right thancc

[hybrid ore]

np.
@neat sedge It's been literal years since I've bothered to do those, but I'm sure there's guides online.

[desert crystal]

wouldnt it allready be open for people with all of them

[hybrid ore]

SHD tech is actually over-capped in div2, so you will end up with more than you can ever spend.

I'm sure it's there to help out people who can't figure some of them out.

[desert crystal]

i eneded up with 5 left over

[fervent berry]

Still yet to see one at SHD level 100,000

[plush otter]

went for a look to check my memory, yeah on that one its after you lower the water and go to the end where the door is, on either end behind the barred off area left and right, there is a yellow box to shoot to open that door

[hybrid ore]

see what?

[fervent berry]

Just a player in general, "SHD level 100k" club

[neat sedge]

I saw a Russian player with shd level 356k he had 1.5m health

[cerulean sparrow]

Do I have to own the warlord document to do countdown

Dlc

[neat sedge]

nope

[lament mirage]

Damn

[neat sedge]

ahh that would do it, thanks

[desert crystal]

is count down not level 40 content then

[hybrid ore]

And that folks, is why massively over levelling your SHD is so pointless.
that's about what, 1-2 extra shots at most?

here's some context: 600k armour is what you get when you finish the SHD watch at Lvl 40.

[smoky stag]

makes optimization and expertise easy though

[cerulean sparrow]

Like it won't let me do the countdown

[neat sedge]

as someone who just burnt throught 5k scavenger points to expertise, yes but also my wrist kills so bad rn

[smoky stag]

autoclicker desktop app

[desert crystal]

are you not level 40

[neat sedge]

issue is it's not a click, its a hold keystroke

[hybrid ore]

obligatory: use any "modifications" at your own risk.

[smoky stag]

try again

[cerulean sparrow]

Doesn't that mean u do need the dlc and no I'm not

[desert crystal]

i would say so if its not letting you in

[neat sedge]

Countdown isn't DLC, you can do it Pre WoNY

I wish you luck in finding a group though as they don't mix pre WoNY and Post together

[cerulean sparrow]

🤔 is there a reason I cant.do it.then

[plush otter]

countdown is only available to lvl 40's, same as summit

[cerulean sparrow]

Oof

[desert crystal]

@cerulean sparrow maybe you need dlc then

[plush otter]

and you cant be 40 without dlc

[cerulean sparrow]

Is there anymore I can do that doesn't require lvl 40

Anything

[smoky stag]

honestly no point buying div2 if you dont wanna buy WONY

[neat sedge]

not true, make an alt and boost it to 30, it was just on a level 30 account but its now in Wony and still had access to Countdown

[desert crystal]

every thing in DC

[neat sedge]

the countdown shop was even scaled down to level 30 and had different items then level 40

[cerulean sparrow]

What does wony mean

[neat sedge]

the DLC

Warlords of New York

[smoky stag]

W-arlords
O-f
N-ew
Y-ork

[cerulean sparrow]

Oh ok I do plan on getting it just thought I'd ask if there were other things I could do in the meantime

[desert crystal]

@neat sedge i thought the dlc was requierd for every thing that came after new york

[neat sedge]

I don't have a space character slot atm or I'd show you

[cerulean sparrow]

It's cool ty for the help and info

[smoky stag]

not much really. all u need to do is just finish wt5 ingest all the lore you can and move on to wony

[cerulean sparrow]

I'm only on wt1 lol

Long ways to go

[smoky stag]

get to wt5 is your next to do then

[timber hatch]

https://youtu.be/MCjFWGI69dM

Tldr: 99.something is arguably better than 100, but it's technically 100

[desert crystal]

or boost to level 30

[cerulean sparrow]

I maxed out before I hit wt1 🤣

[dreamy topaz]

It would be cool if we get LMB soldiers patrolling around NY

Or an outfit

[hybrid ore]

LMB don't exist at the time of div2, but an outfit would be neat.

[smoky stag]

dont even bother getting better gear.
it all becomes garbo as soon as you start wony

[cerulean sparrow]

Yeah u are right I've been trying to get it but only to see nothing good

[dreamy topaz]

Ik that some of them joined Black Tusk

[cerulean sparrow]

Very rarely will I get something a tiny bit better lol

[wide condor]

some joined rikers, some joined jtf, some cleaners, rest is with black tusk

[dreamy topaz]

What if they make uniforms like they have in ghost recon breakpoint

[hybrid ore]

I like to think that most of them are now those ski-mask weirdos running around in NYC.
seems fitting for a failed PMC.,

[dreamy topaz]

You can be faye lau, aaron keener, bardon scheaffer and more

[cerulean sparrow]

I'm guessing the enemies get harder as u lvl wt

[fathom vine]

where do i use the summit keys

[dreamy topaz]

That would be pretty neat

[fathom vine]

what floors

[dreamy topaz]

Every 5 floors

[wide condor]

incorrect

[dreamy topaz]

When u go to the elevator, the should be a box where you can put it in

[fathom vine]

like after yu finish the floor or before

[wide condor]

every 3 floors

[fathom vine]

3 or 5

[wide condor]

before you finish it, usually some locked room

[fathom vine]

and where are the rooms at

[wide condor]

not 3 or 5, its just 3

[fathom vine]

only floor 3?

[dreamy topaz]

No

Every 3rd floor

[fathom vine]

bruh yall confusin

[wide condor]

3 6 9, you can come across another one at 4, means you missed the one on floor 3 etc

[hybrid ore]

^ Floor 3, 6, and 9 are the chests. A new key appears between each of those number brackets.

you can not stack them.

[dreamy topaz]

I hope that the street activation event isnt lame

[fathom vine]

so you open them before you beat the floor

[wide condor]

imo if you missed a key, dont go looking across the past 3 floors and just move one, time loss isnt worth it

[tender wave]

you may be right then: my info is based on what others have said rather than personal experience (although I am certain it works that way for f100 hunters and regular mission bosses)

[hybrid ore]

Correct, the Chest is just before the exit from Lvl 3, 6, and 9.
usually opening a door, sometimes you have to shoot a lock.

[fathom vine]

i have 2 rn i think idk

[fathom vine]

so only floors 3,6,9 or evry 3 floor up to 100

[quasi heath]

ayo whats the channel wit hthe builds for raids n stuff forgot which it was in

[hybrid ore]

#td2-build-advice > 📌 > spreadsheet.

[quasi heath]

ty ty

[hybrid ore]

every floor that ends in one of those numbers, yes.
3, 13, 23, etc.

[plush otter]

turns out you are right, it is available to lvl 30's at wt5, i based my info on pts1 where it was not available to anything below 40 but that is incorrect now.

[fathom vine]

bruh what your saying 2 diff things

floors that end in 3 or every 3 floors @hybrid ore

complicated and for what

[mellow girder]

Every 3 floors is a box

[hybrid ore]

I need coffee to deal with this one.

someone take over.

[plush otter]

oh, actually :
https://imgur.com/a/xD3PR40
its not available to below 40, the menu is but the mode isnt.

[hybrid ore]

my bad Kia, you got caught up then.

@short coyote naming and shaming isn't allowed on this Server, you're welcome to report them to Ubisoft Support directly, and via the ModMail bot.

[tender wave]

floors that end in a 3, 6 or 9. Not every three floors (because every 10th floor is a separate boss floor)

[mellow girder]

@fathom vine there is a box every three floors going up the summit but always reset on a boss floor so for example floors 3, 6 and 9 will have loot boxes then a boss floor follows on floor 10 resetting the pattern so then it will continue as 13, 16 and 19

[plush otter]

what kettle said, and its that its in sections of ten that repeat, so 3-6-9-10, then 13-16-19-20, 23-26.... etc

[ivory shell]

Not to intrude on your tower discussion but like would anyone here be against raid keys resetting daily? Thanks you can go back to your tower discussion now 😂

[fathom vine]

thank you explaining like a normal person

[mellow girder]

Lmao maybe for donk days as it is an old raid

But then again just farm RB for keys

[modern epoch]

My brain is mush from all gear hunting and getting the correct attributes and stuff

[fervent berry]

Sometimes, this game is rocket science

[desert crystal]

its easy when you use a control

[modern epoch]

Might just yeet myself out a window with the bs lol

[wide condor]

game will crash before you hit the floor, so you'll be okay

[desert crystal]

mine hardly does that

[modern epoch]

Nah my game doesn’t crash

Its smooth as butter on the ps5

[fathom vine]

im on floor 6 and havent started clearing the floor yet

[fervent berry]

Weird flex, but okay

[fathom vine]

wheres the crate cus yu said its before

[desert crystal]

i use a controler on pc

[plush otter]

the summit crate you open with the key is going to be right before the elevator that takes you to the next section, its always in a room connected to that final hallway somewhere

[desert crystal]

or in the final hall way some times

[smoky stag]

if only we could explore around inside the game....

[desert crystal]

you mean outside of buildings we can allready go in

[smoky stag]

no

[desert crystal]

what do you mean then

[lament mirage]

Sup doom

[smoky stag]

sup

[lament mirage]

Nm u?

[smoky stag]

tryna doze off looking at words, letters, number lol

[tropic compass]

😳 lvl 10 proficiency on hardcore characters. Wonder how you'd feel if the character dies

[balmy cedar]

😉

[molten herald]

can EB drop anywhere once you have it unlocked?

[novel laurel]

No

[azure lintel]

Welp finally got level 100 summit done wasn't worth lol

[grim stream]

crash crash crash

10min 2. crash

[fathom vine]

someone wanna help me farm Federal Emergency Bunker for true patriot??

[azure lintel]

no 😃

[balmy cedar]

Were you guys able to finish the pentagon time trial solo?

[proper fiber]

The Pentagon? Yes. The DARPA labs? No.

For Darpa you need at LEAST two people to finish the hack at the same time, saving you two minutes

[azure lintel]

or just be this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ME8vwBQ8Gt4

[wide condor]

you can do all time trials from this week solo

[dusk island]

doing darpa is easy just need to have the right build, i got around 12 min taking my time but i ccould do it 11 min

[wide condor]

likely you wasted time at last boss, key is to get him down asap, or well the panic mode, and then just kill him before he lands, get to extract bit and get flare asap

[proper fiber]

I can Kill him just fine

The section with the hacks is the only hindrance to me

[wide condor]

that shouldnt be an issue at all, just go there, press button, kill things while waiting, go next and press and kill/clear room and move on, no time loss there solo, and that part really shouldnt stop you from failing

[azure lintel]

using ideal hf?

[wide condor]

manning zoo time trial however... or the boss with the shock traps.. those timers feel impossible

[dusk island]

true that run a HB with Coyote and the gift

[wide condor]

i had a hb build with vector+ar shield and erm i think turret, using memento backpack

[dusk island]

why vector or using to get the stack

[wide condor]

yeah, i dont like shotguns, those are for people who cant aim xD

shotguns would work fine too, i just like the vector smg

but ehh getting stacks is still hard on hard mode (or was it challenging), mobs die too fast to get stacks up reliably

[proper fiber]

You have timeloss. Signifficantly. Because with two people you can hack in double the time because you can hack both at once.

Manning National also has time contraints that are quick to resolve as a well coordinated duo

[wide condor]

but that "timeloss" shouldnt stop you from doing it in time, thats my point, main thing is moving to wehre you need to be next before you clear the mobs, dont wait to do things till you've cleard things and game tells you do go to next bit, and last boss you can easily waste 1 minute alone doing the wrong things

enter boss room > turrets > put drone on boss and get him down, rest is just stuff to give you stacks, boss will heal once, then try to jump eventually and should be dead, then you move to flare point and clear rest of adds

[hearty briar]

Boss in DARPA will only jump down after second round of mortars and when he calls for a medic wave

Fastest way to do it I’ve found was just to nuke ads with HF then hug right up against the walkway he’s on to avoid mortars till he finally decides to call for medics

[vale ledge]

i remembered killing him at least once before he jumps down

[spark junco]

Woohoo I got the third key to work! I only had to reset and do the manhunt six times in a row -.- faint

[tender wave]

recommend when the fourth key is released that you fast travel to NY and back before handing it in - seems to reduce the chance of it bugging out (can't imagine you'll want to be doing all four manhunt targets again if it bugs)

[tender wave]

he calls for medics/jumps down after taking a decent amount of damage, too - so fastest way to complete the area is to burn him down as quickly as possible

[glass raft]

If I'm doing a foundry deflector build is there a way to boost my sidearm or no?

I do like no damage

[spark junco]

ty!

[vale ledge]

you are supposed to use the deflector to do damage via skill damage gear attributes

[glass raft]

Skill damage

Got it

[vale ledge]

they need to fix the deflector shield's arm positioning, to block properly you can't actually aim at the enemies you are blocking their fire from

[glass raft]

Does insync work?

[vale ledge]

not sure

[azure lintel]

Nope

[glass raft]

In sync won't boost the damage of the deflector?

I know it doesn't trigger the damage for the gun when u pull it out but I figured it would when u deflect and do damage

It's worded wierdly

[azure lintel]

Unfortunately no

[glass raft]

Best handgun if I don't have liberty?

[azure lintel]

It takes away what would probably be the best weapon talent for making deflector less unviable

[quick yacht]

I just did Lt. Chang. After this I was heading to the basement to give the decryption key. I pressed F and nothing happened. Nobody says anything, nothing happens. I relogged and now I see 0/1 Encryption key 3. What to do? Do I reset manhunt?

[azure lintel]

it 👏 still 👏 happens

I wonder if they'll ever fix this garbage bug so people have to stop resetting their manhunts

Doing new story for the first time: yay
Being forced to repeat new story 5 minutes after: no

[quick yacht]

So, I actually have to reset it? At least those manhunts are not so bad, pretty fast.

[glass raft]

What gear type deconstructs for ceramic?

Does incoming repairs effect the foundry set bonus?

[hushed hawk]

try conflict out
takes ages to find a group
rounds are all stomps
game crashes, counts as abandoned

I really don't understand this game mode. The purpose of it outside of just getting through matches as fast as possible to get caches.

[glass raft]

Seal clubbing

[hushed hawk]

It's awful.

And now I've been in a queue for five minutes and nothing.

Game is probably punishing me for crashing

[radiant prism]

goddam delta-3's, Countdown mode is so unstable

[kind ridge]

Game crushing on PC is getting worse and worse. I'm done with this game.

[astral jacinth]

See you guys in Worldslayer

[polar chasm]

thats worse then the div crashes

[astral jacinth]

At least I finally left Diablo Immortal woof

[polar chasm]

you mean Diablo Immoral

[wide condor]

there's better ways to get f'd, and its cheaper too xD

[polar chasm]

so you played the most mtx heavy game ever and bought the worst dlc of 2022 ... tip, next just wait for the first reviews

[astral jacinth]

Yus

I played Immortal until I finished the campaign, then wishlisted Worldslayer for a deep sale

[polar chasm]

worldslayer is worth around 10 euro imo

i am glad diablo immoral isnt available in my country

[astral jacinth]

I never played Destiny or Anthem

But I’m still playing Division 2 since launch

[polar chasm]

anthem was fun, it felt like playing with iron man most of the time

[wide condor]

i have played destiny, it was good, untill it moved to steam, i played anthem beta thing, fortunately never bought it :p

[polar chasm]

yep destiny 2 was fun until they remove most of the planets then it went downhill fast

[astral jacinth]

Division 2 is the best bang for buck ever for me

I think I’m close to 100 days now

[polar chasm]

Div 2, despite its flaws can still be fun from time to time

think i am around 1600hrs now on div 2

and 700+ hrs for div 1

[astral jacinth]

I haven’t played a game this long since Diablo 2 back in the day

[polar chasm]

hope we get at least a release date for the new TU with the spec revamp soon

[faint geyser]

they did it right tho, theres nothing to do on those planets. nf there are so bad and the only thing thats good, that got removed is the whisper mission on io

[thick zephyr]

Is bank invaded bugged?
Whenever I try to go through the wall with the corridor to get to the lift,I always get sent back to the start if bank mission.all npcs were killed.
Happened 3 times already

[digital depot]

as i do WONY campaign, should i sell all equip or feed to recalibrate station?

[viscid parcel]

i was able to complete it 1st try

[thick zephyr]

I don't know why.
I have done it in the past successfully.
Just as I am about to reach that wall,the loading screen will pop up and I am back to start

[viscid parcel]

thats weird

[patent cargo]

What legendary chest pieces have obliterate?

[real locust]

?

every chest piece can have any chest piece talent

[wet igloo]

Unless your looking for perfect obliterate

[hushed hawk]

Just finished a countdown where I was doing 2m+ per hit with an AR even though I don't even have a full red build. Something was very wrong

Is it possible someone was using a cheat that affected everyone's damage?

[real locust]

coyotes mask, future initiative, empathetic resolve

many different things that could combine or something to increase your damage

[hushed hawk]

I didn't see any FI buff but maybe it was that

Really strange how I even popped a 5m+ HS with a half blue build.

Anyway, the time has come for me to finish the damned bleed build and that means somehow getting a perfect BP with both crit stats and Wicked so I can roll the red to blue

[manic wharf]

I just bought the game and would like to play with people. Does anybody want to play?

[hushed hawk]

Ask in lfg

[wet igloo]

If you go into #lfg-playstation you can find people to play with

[glass swift]

We need an survival gamemode for div 2 too plzzzx

[azure lintel]

Did you have the close-range countermeasure? If so, it currently stacks with other players (i.e. if 2 people are within the range, you get a 1.25^2 buff)

Put on a any Regulus build next time that countermeasure is up, you'll be one tapping elites without HH

[jolly stag]

ive always imagined a d2 survival mode themed as a post dc62 attack, and everything nearly covered in yellow powder and a yellow haze in the air. the gameplay map with "reversed dark zones", the current dark zones are the starting safe zones and the white house has whatever objective. just get there and back.

[fickle osprey]

If there’s a close range countermeasure, it instantly becomes an easy raid. Anytime I see it I immediately put my vector build on. Easy 1M+ crits at ludicrous RPM

Hunters just don’t stand a chance at that point lol

[fresh basin]

why this game is full toxic players i was in raids and people dont even revive others

[low lily]

@fresh basin maybe you where that bad, so they thought they won't waste time 🐻

[fresh basin]

i was bad how you dont even read kid ? another toxic player classic consoles players , i always revive others but you are from the kids that watching others die and dont do nothing toxic player

[azure lintel]

What do consoles have to do with any of it?

I MEAN...........

[low lily]

I actually have a feeling you where the actual toxic one there 😅😅

[jolly stag]

🍿

[azure lintel]

jk jk 😂

[jolly stag]

dying is most toxic in raids

[azure lintel]

i dont pick ppl up period, I just use clapping emote over them as they crawl towards me

[jolly stag]

i juggle

[azure lintel]

and then when I go down I start mic spamming

[low lily]

Not gonna lie, back in the day when i actually ran raids, if there was those "i have the best build" people or just cocky i just acted like i didn't see them down

🤣

[jolly stag]

now thats just overthinking lol

[low lily]

But you know, i am just "classic console player"

[jolly stag]

ofc i havent even done a raid yet :l

[smoky stag]

Sanitizer would rather help a guy on this discord about a build than revive

[azure lintel]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ factual information

[jolly stag]

eating hand sanitizer, aka drinking white claws

[low lily]

And that's okay

[fresh basin]

i was not be killed i see other getting killed and others don't revive them they just passing them , but classic 15yo kids from consoles no brain to read you are blocked dumb kid

[low lily]

Why you @me when you gonna block me

[reef reef]

Both of you, stop it. Keep your fights in DMs if you really feel you need to fight.

[low lily]

I wish i was 15 tho, growing up sucks

[wet igloo]

Im about to hit that number soon

[azure lintel]

I got a few more years!

Can't wait to turn 15

Maybe I'll learn to read then

[glacial yacht]

Some of the places in this game give me the chills and would be perfect in a horror setting.

[potent chasm]

Will you still be slurpin hand sanitizer?

[azure lintel]

Even better, I'll be consuming gallons daily

[potent chasm]

Remaining sanitized, nice

[willow pelican]

So uh guys i got a question

Is division heartland coming out or nah?

Cuz ngl all the road map plan they did already pass long time ago

[oblique hound]

Hi, I just finished the warlords campaign and dinged 40, what is the best/most efficient for me to progress? (Get stronger, farm gear/exp) so I can get ready for raids / harder missions, I know the question is quite general, but I have no idea where to start

[azure lintel]

Some builds are pinned in the spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice. As for where to farm the pieces, Countdown (the new game mode) is best.

[keen pine]

Daily PSA heartbreaker is trash in countdown just run a damage set

[azure lintel]

Most probably the HeartBreaker build is the easiest to make first. However if at any time you get the Scorpio (exotic shotgun), try to make a Hunters Fury build first.

What is call 3 blue core imo is the best balance between damage and staying alive for bost HeartBreak and Hunters Fury builds.

Yeah it's trash if you can't build stacks. Not specific to Countdown

[keen pine]

Farm summit or countdown

[oblique hound]

level 1 and onwards or highest level I can manage? (for summit)

[azure lintel]

I'd recommend doing countdown as heaps more items drop in the same amount of time. You should select the target loot to what you want. e.g. Hunters Fury. I think you press M for Map, then select targeted loot...

[oblique hound]

im currently running 4pc fury with some decent SMG I found with shield + repair drone

[keen pine]

1onwayrds challenging till u can handle higher difficultys

[azure lintel]

^ ok. what you want is the scorpio exotic and memento backback. You will be OP with those. 1/2 shield and revive hive. Badgers Tuff chest with unbreakabke. 3 blue core, which means you roll one of the four hunter's fury peices from red core to blue core.

This is a very good OP solo farming build, very good in countdown, and awesome in some parts of both raids, but totally trash in other parts.

[oblique hound]

sounds good, will try when I get the pieces ^^

@azure lintel something like this? https://mxswat.github.io/mx-division-builds/#/CwBgtO4IwblwLmANjmG0oGY2QQDjAHYwBWMAJjFWQ1wWzTvhaRfV3qwE4nPWKWQlW4kopGOJziq44PXaKF-FSAQggA

no wait, I missed something with the cores

[azure lintel]

@oblique hound Yep. Mememto has 1 red/1 blue/1 yellow core. Badget Tuff 1 blue core. Reroll one of the hunter's fury from red core to blue core, so in total you have 3 blue core. Aim for around 48-50 chc, and have the rest in chd. The perfect badgers tuff would have the blue core, unbreakable, chc and chd, but if you have the unbreakable and either chc or chd thats good enough.

[faint geyser]

depends on the situation of a raid, if the dps windows is short, people will really ignore you because reviving you is = lower dmg output because instead of 1 guy more doing dps, that guy is stuck reviving you.

now if the obj is like just secure and cleanup is only needed, its still faster to just clear mobs instead of picking someone up,
this is why you always bring a reviver hive and always understand good positiong and awareness to avoid meaningless death

now if youre a tank, or a healer. then yes, youre a priority to be revived,

[azure lintel]

If I see you playing Call of Duty and just rushing and shooting stuff, you're not getting picked up until I feel like it 😎

[lilac elbow]

Hello, anyone here on nearing 100 floors summit? Please help, I want to get blueprint for the exotic chest piece

[desert crystal]

is this true you can get heroic stuff from countdown if you go to the summit first

[summer totem]

OMG

i hate this game, i was going to endores someone but the game scrap the exotic that dropped

why is this game so dumb

[azure lintel]

I heard if you get called "kid" enough times, you actually start reversing your aging

[broken thicket]

finally all this time of farming in new york i finally got lady death

[azure lintel]

it stopped being exclusive to NY a while ago btw

[broken thicket]

well dammit im happy i got it been tryin forever

[proven moth]

Didn't get Ravenous again, and no EB yesterday

😔

[broken thicket]

keep tryin dont give up

[proven moth]

Also, is breadbasket, preservation, or flatline the best to have on weapons?

[proven moth]

I've tried IH twice, DH, about 5-6 times.

[broken thicket]

if i member correctly its like a small chance of dropping

[proven moth]

It is indeed

[azure lintel]

10% from the chest for both I think

[broken thicket]

but then again its matter of luck

[proven moth]

Well I got a USC .45 ACP

That's something good.

[azure lintel]

that's why you raid with ppl who already have it so they drop if for you 😎

[broken thicket]

^

[summer totem]

why cant i kick someone out

i am the session owner

[proven moth]

What if they don't get it?

[azure lintel]

then you raid again and again 😄

[proven moth]

Also I think most had it besides me and three others

[azure lintel]

that's the beauty of raiding!

[proven moth]

Life wasted 😔

[azure lintel]

smh imagine having a life 🙄

haven't touched grass in years

[proven moth]

I remember when the Divison 2 was $3

And I got the ultimate edition for $17 mainly for the story and the beauty of the map

Now I just try to grind for guns, but it's fun.

Now the only problem I have is collecting resources like steel and recievers

[proper fiber]

I don't really like raiding, it's a hassle

[azure lintel]

What!!

[fervent berry]

Funny enough, same here

[proper fiber]

I did it once and if that's the standard for doing it, I'm not interested beyond getting the Regulus

[proven moth]

Regulus?

[proper fiber]

The Exotic Revolver

[proven moth]

Kind of wish that I could put silencers on my exotics...

[summer totem]

u need to farm for exotic silencer

[proven moth]

It can go on any gun?

[summer totem]

im joking

but if there is one

ill probably hate it

[low lily]

I always want to be younger, so 🤣🤣

[cloud wedge]

Im in the new york map and cant leave till i complete it any weapons that are good for here?

[faint geyser]

just do the story with any weapons tbh, any new weapon that has higher dmg that your old weapon just use it.

[royal whale]

My weapon of choice is Call For Backup. Nothing better than having a high SHD level agent come to your rescue and one shot everything.

[cloud wedge]

Idk what im even doing in this game i just run around shooting ppl

[balmy cedar]

So uh

What fancy secrets are there to be learned about the shd watch when you reach level 1000

[potent chasm]

I think you get a patch

[balmy cedar]

I want story line 😭

[potent chasm]

You're getting a PATCH

Oh boy, DZ South has shotgun allocation

I'm nervous to do that

[neat burrow]

Hey i started playing again and im lvl 40 now but dont know how to progress gear wise. Someone here that maybe helps me for a sec ? would be great !

[tender wave]

The other advantage of call for backup is that it temporarily levels all your gear up as well as the enemies, so it doesn't matter if you're using lower level weapons and gear. (Until you're level 39, anyway)

[balmy cedar]

“Gain enough ranks to fully unlock Keener’s watch, and discover the secrets within.”

What secrets 😭

[tender wave]

I think dz target loot is still broken

[balmy cedar]

It’s so satisfying to watch keeners watch fill up on its own rather than 1 increment for 1000 levels 😂

[tender wave]

You know that echo in liberty Island where he says 'Still think resources are scarce? Mine are limitless'

He's referring to scavenging points

[desert crystal]

dont you get them at every level up onec you max out the watch

[tender wave]

Yes

[balmy cedar]

Is it worth it to donate exotics as junk to expertise or deconstruct for exotic components?

[tender wave]

Deconstruct

[desert crystal]

i was in dz this morning and people where helping with the landmarks

[tender wave]

You can donate any other resources to gain proficiency in your exotics, but components are the limiting resource when it comes to upgrading anything

[desert crystal]

is dz south invaded till tomorrow because it was still invaded this morning

[balmy cedar]

I just deconstructed 19 exotics 😛 feels nice to be at this point where they are worthless 😂

[desert crystal]

@balmy cedar do you have console and pc or just console

[balmy cedar]

I have console..

I’m jealous pc players get to use macros for the shd watch lol

[desert crystal]

How

[tender wave]

I had over 100 spare components by the time I got past expertise level 10, now I'm at 16 and I've used all of them up 😢

[balmy cedar]

Idk some people set up macros to extract shd calibration and whatnot from the scavenging

[desert crystal]

Im still at expertise level 0 stragely

[balmy cedar]

Sorry to hear that, thank you for sparing me that same feeling 💪

[desert crystal]

how do i level the expertise faster

[tender wave]

Use different gear and weapons, donate everything you can spare, including excess materials

[desert crystal]

is that probly why im miles behide people with that

[balmy cedar]

I purposefully just finished my alt character through warlords to do the countdown collect and dump method

[tender wave]

Yeah I've run wony about 4 times now

[balmy cedar]

Warlords was fun the first go around but honestly it’s so inconsistent with the weapon drops I found myself using level 33 weapons at level 35

[desert crystal]

Ive ran it 3 times

5 if you count my console characters

[tender wave]

I recommend saving a few decent weapons and items for future runs: you can recalibrate one of their stats to max, too

[potent chasm]

And that's enough DZ for me.

[balmy cedar]

I kept dying to this one cleaner boss hunting for Kajika cause my guns were under leveled and I couldn’t damage him

I saved a bunch of ARs and rifles

[desert crystal]

Where you on story new york

[tender wave]

I now have a full set of level 31 gear with 15%wd on each, and guns at 31, 33, 35 etc

[balmy cedar]

Oh I was going through it to help a friend but I got bored after pathway… just finished tonight with the help of someone from shepherd

[tender wave]

Calling for backup really helps too, you level faster and you don't have to worry about gear falling behind

[potent chasm]

I hate how there are DZ special weapons.

[balmy cedar]

How far can you go before they’re no longer efficient ?

I’d tried to do this with World tier 5 level 30 stuff but it only got me to level 32 … after that everything started eating bullets

[tender wave]

If you've got backup you can go right up to 39, but otherwise every two levels seems ok, it's a sliding scale

[balmy cedar]

I had a really nice urban mdr godrolled and an ACR E that I thought would shred

[tender wave]

Armour doesn't matter as much so I'll run the level 31 stuff right through

[fervent berry]

With an RPG mentality, gear below 2 levels is already too weak

[balmy cedar]

I just find the guns were inconsistent, at levels 38-40 it kept dropping me LMGs while I’m using an smg

Proficiency caches came in clutch

@tender wave what shd level are you?

[tender wave]

Slightly over 5k now

[balmy cedar]

Oh nice the scavenging points last you a while then

[tender wave]

Enough scav points for 140 or so proficiency levels

[balmy cedar]

I never liked any kind of micro upgrade system since it requires dedication beyond reasonable playing time but I feel like expertise levels per gun is nice… the proficiency tho is just real annoying

Considering certain guns have different variants… FAL … G36 … 1886 …

[tender wave]

the calculation I worked out is (total shd - 800)/30 for how many prof levels you can gain per WONY run, assuming you're over 1k

For regular weapons I just target the type in countdown and donate everything

[balmy cedar]

What are you using the scavenging points for? Materials such as steel, shd calibration ?

I just ran out of field recon data…. Is it worth it to farm cps or use scavenging points?

[tender wave]

Printer filaments, assuming I'm donating them for proficiency

[balmy cedar]

Honestly I haven’t watched any videos or any guides for the update… what was the change behind printer filament

[fervent berry]

Kettle, did you have to cheese floor 10?

[tender wave]

It's just the most efficient point to level ratio

[tender wave]

Nah, I've been playing for a couple of years now, never actually tried a floor 10 farm

[royal whale]

floor 10 best for field recon. Get 4 per every run and each run takes 30 seconds give or take

[fervent berry]

Cool, you must have a really good gaming chair

[tender wave]

I have a standing desk

Oops wrong reply

[fervent berry]

Standing desk is the new meta now

[tender wave]

I also have a walking desk treadmill (I work from home) but don't use it much while gaming

Does add an extra level of challenge when I want though

[fervent berry]

Truly an immersive experience running on that treadmill while running away from hunters.

[tender wave]

It only does walking speeds, but pacing steadily while your character is running, hiding, climbing etc does require an extra bit of coordination

[potent chasm]

Just realized we could have had the BT as allies

Damn

[azure lintel]

hows everyone doing?

[balmy cedar]

… walking while tryna land headshots

Sounds legit

While walking in a game

Sounds like inception to me

[azure lintel]

walkception

[balmy cedar]

I always felt Barron Schaffer was a good commander… from the season 9 collectibles you could tell as he kept failing he started to distrust black tusk

I was upset when I had to kill him

Schaffer had a special relationship with not committing war crimes for the sake of committing war crimes

[potent chasm]

From what I remember in the extended universe channel, I think he's actually imprisoned

I'm not too sure though

[balmy cedar]

Yea I think some people mentioned he’d imprisoned under the White House

But whatever his motivations… the most he’s responsible for is treason for killing the agents who executed Mendez or was that someone else

[potent chasm]

I do think it would be cool to ally with BT, considering how the Division answers to the POTUS and BT was also answering to the POTUS

[balmy cedar]

Black Tusk wanted to be the Division 😂

CEO mentioned in comms he wouldn’t mind playing ball so that everyone can come out unharmed at the end

I’m mostly jealous they don’t have skill cooldowns 👀

[potent chasm]

My guess is that during the DARPA raid, they found some better prototype stuff that they refined and then deployed

[balmy cedar]

I think that’s why dark hours happened

If you read the raid log… buddy and Lucy have upgrades that derive from shd tech

There’s a comm with Brenner where he tells his men to stop messing with shd tech so they don’t blow them all up

[tender wave]

BT was trying to force the president to answer to them, I think

[potent chasm]

And I hate how we don't see more of their planes and stuff

Like they got C-17s, C-5s and stuff, it was cool, then we never see them again

[balmy cedar]

I had wished they used them more in combat

[potent chasm]

That's from who'shisface's diary, that was his thoughts behind it

[tender wave]

And Division was trying to arrest him

[balmy cedar]

Rain down hell on me with an AC130 Please

Drop razorback on me with a C-17

[potent chasm]

Like, the drones and Black Hawks are cool and all

I want to see BT paratroopers fall from the sky and setup roof top mortar teams and stuff

[balmy cedar]

Oh hell no considering for some reason the person running dps is automatically targeted by the black tusk 😂

I can’t catch a breath without a sniper dog or sniper / drone controller trying their hardest to murder me

(Legendary)

[potent chasm]

Or after a certain amount of invasions where agents don't do anything ahem me ahem

BT will start taking over control points, blocking down settlements (even more) and setting up their own control points

[tender wave]

Paratroopers in fps games is like clay pigeon shooting, just pick them out of the sky one after another

[balmy cedar]

It would be cool if they locked down a settlement it had impact to the surrounding infrastructure

I’m curious as to what the interaction with black tusk was with the true sons at Rayburn house

Where the true sons were executed

[potent chasm]

Add a new class for BT, cause we're actually missing one, the engineer

[balmy cedar]

What would they do? Set down a turret?

[vale ledge]

Who man's the BT tank?

[balmy cedar]

Operator

[potent chasm]

Controller

[vale ledge]

Ic

They do repair the tanks so I consider them engineers.

[potent chasm]

Yeah, I mean the model for it is in the game. That's what the Hyena's turret is, its BT owned

[balmy cedar]

That turret is annoying cause the weak point is hard to find…

[potent chasm]

Instead of watered down garbage like the Hyena's though, make it more dangerous or something

[balmy cedar]

Feel like we should give them more credit and slap Brenner mortar to the engineer

[vale ledge]

No invaded manning horror stories pls

[tender wave]

The weak point is just above the neck of the engineer who placed it

[potent chasm]

Comedy

[balmy cedar]

What about the outcast rusher

Where’s their weakpoint

[vale ledge]

The bomb on their chest

They are flame proof but not foam proof

[tender wave]

Depends whether I need hh stacks or not

And how close their friends are

[balmy cedar]

This one’s a bit more difficult

The riker heavy gunner

[vale ledge]

Tough

[potent chasm]

Also add more variety to the regular grunts

Cause seeing the same dude with the same tattoo 45 different times gets a bit old

[balmy cedar]

Out of curiosity … why do some true sons sometimes use the riker turret shield

[potent chasm]

I was wrong about the turret, it is not BT owned. Just looks way too advanced for some goons to get from a police thing

[tender wave]

Yeah I hate those guys. They have a weakpoint on their back but just stops them deploying the turret, doesn't do any damage

[balmy cedar]

Their armor plating is real tough

[vale ledge]

They are the only elites that could stop my 50magsize kill

[potent chasm]

Pestilence kills it quick, thankfully

[balmy cedar]

I usually can only manage to take them down with headshots

[azure lintel]

How's everyone

[tender wave]

Helmets and high hp and no proper weakpoints

[potent chasm]

We just be talkin

Sucks how we can't commandeer one either, it just blows up

[balmy cedar]

I kept trying to shoot all the ammo chains on them thinking it was a weak point 😂

[vale ledge]

Lucky we don't have them much in legendary, yet

[potent chasm]

We also don't have a heavy weapons BT either... huh

[vale ledge]

The mini gunner counts?

[balmy cedar]

What does the bt sniper drone do

[potent chasm]

Taser taser taser

[balmy cedar]

They’re a tank

[potent chasm]

I guess? But kinda like the Outcasts or True Sons heavy weapons, where they mount up and start shooting

[balmy cedar]

Heavy gunner is an archetype

Heavy gunners use light machine guns

[vale ledge]

Oh ok, not common to die via them

[tender wave]

They have warhounds

[balmy cedar]

I’m thinking their heavy gunner is the operator

Because of the mini tank

It always retreats to them

[tender wave]

Dogs with miniguns

[balmy cedar]

I find the mini tank to be more deadly tbh

[potent chasm]

I'm not too sure, but seeing a specialized one with an M249 mount the bipod and start laying down lead would be pretty neat

[balmy cedar]

It can be constantly healed especially if the operator has overheal

[vale ledge]

They should reconn TD

Srorywise

[desert crystal]

Its nice using control on pc

[rustic glade]

The sleigher looks so good, shame it sucks and has a weird arcing projectile

[minor yacht]

I just want an XM5

[glass raft]

i leavled up 8 times and have yet to get an aparel cache key for the event

im at 20/22

what should i do?

[fervent berry]

Fairview apparel event has ended

[glass raft]

but in game it has 21 hours left

[oblique chasm]

To redeem

[glass raft]

then y doesnt it say that?

[oblique chasm]

[hushed hawk]

Maybe it's that. Thanks

[glass raft]

well that sucks

guess il never get the stuff

i hate how i cant drop the caches atm but i can BUY them

is there an easy way to get the liberty ?

[tropic compass]

Solo league speed run and crashed

[fervent berry]

The game probably couldn't believe that you're smashing time records so it decided to dump you

[bronze saffron]

can I as a fresh lvl 40 do 30 floors of normal summit for the project, solo? keep in mind that I've not done it nor seen it

[glass raft]

normal summit? u can probably do 100 floors tbh

[bronze saffron]

oh damn, is it that easy then? how many floors are there?

[glass raft]

100 xD

[bronze saffron]

oh wat

[glass raft]

normal is too easy

[bronze saffron]

tbh im pretty confident in my skills but ig imma try my best then

[glass raft]

i could do it in my sleep and im bad at the game

u cna literly kill guys with jammer pulse and a mask on normal

normal: 😴

[tender wave]

You can change the difficulty at any of the checkpoints (wherever you use an elevator, which is all floor numbers ending in 0,3,6 or 9) just 'return to lobby' and try the different difficulties and directives

So feel free to start on Normal and then change it once you get comfortable and want a bit more challenge

[bronze saffron]

is the change in reward from like normal to hard very big or just xp?

[keen osprey]

Increase in yellow drops would be the most notable.

[fervent berry]

||All fun and games until the hunters at 100 smashes you outta nowhere ||

[tender wave]

Better loot is the main driver, difficulty affects minimum (and therefore, average) rolls on gear

[tender wave]

Shhhhh

[bronze saffron]

better loot as in different sets or different named items?

[fervent berry]

Noted

[wheat zinc]

You can pick your own loot. Directives add target loot drop chances.

[tender wave]

No, just bigger numbers on the items

And a higher chance of exotics, I guess

[oblique chasm]

Has anyone else felt the loots been a bit crap the past week or so in Summit? No doubt it's probably just me.

[tender wave]

Oh, and on Challenging difficulty or above you won't get any more purple drops, only gold or gearsets

[fervent berry]

Mmm, I've still received purple loot on Challenging at the Summit. I've wondered if it's still RNG at the end of the day.

[tender wave]

You really shouldn't, it's a bug if you do

Only open world gear chests will still drop purples as they don't scale with world difficulty

[fervent berry]

Hmmmmm

Welp, gotta restart things now

Also, I've been getting non targeted loot rewards as well. Like I'd target ARs and I'd get gear mods and MMRs instead.

[tender wave]

I guess rngesus hates you so much he bends the rules for you

[oblique chasm]

I've not been getting purples, but all the loot dropping has minimal rolls. Normally heroic with a few directives hooks me up with decent loot. In the past week I've binned easily 90% of all loot that's dropped

[azure lintel]

Same I'm doing smgs rn and haven't gotten one SMG yet lol

[tender wave]

I rarely play summit, but given how broken dz target loot has been the last few weeks it wouldn't entirely suprise me if summit was a bit broken too

[oblique chasm]

I just wanted a break from CD

[desert crystal]

dont you have to be at floor 10 20 or 30 to chage difficulty

[tender wave]

The boss floor elevators are the only ones that give you the dialogue to change difficulty, but you can jump to the lobby at any time and change it from there, and it will return you to your last checkpoint

[viscid cargo]

Better rolls and better quality. More yellow and exo, less purple and below

[desert crystal]

Are the checkpoints ever 3 floors

[viscid cargo]

The floors that end with 0,3,6,9 so sortof

[keen osprey]

I wonder if we will get notes today for tomorrow's client patch.

Hopefully some news on when street activation event is pushed back to also, I'd imagine early August.

[real musk]

hi mate, u on now?

[bronze saffron]

i just got a room with a shd crate that spawns things, stuck

no enemies left, crate is on 100% and still dropping gadgets, door doesnt open .-.

[tender wave]

likely there is an enemy somewhere, but they may have run off some way

put a pulse on and go searching

[bronze saffron]

no threat detected

[smoky stag]

backtrack

[tender wave]

try backpedalling through the floor and see if they've just gone further. Failing that, jump to lobby to reset from your last checkpoint

[bronze saffron]

went back to the elevator door, nothing, unlucky ig

with "jump to lobby" do you mean main menu or something in summit?

nvm, found it, still thanks

[slender laurel]

"Transmissions jammed, proximity coverage only. Backup Activated, System Rebooted."

(Hope I got it right..)

[tender wave]

"Poor decision-making detected. Frustration imminent."

[slender laurel]

Lol

[azure lintel]

Lol

Of course I do my 30 floors of summit to get a exotic crate and it gives me a mantis out of all the exotics it could give me it gives me a gun I already have would've loved anything else

I have maybe 6 exotics...

[keen osprey]

Welcome to the world of RNG. :)

[azure lintel]

My rng sucks lol 😂

In any game

[slender laurel]

How's the Tip of the Spear gearset?

[glacial yacht]

All I'm getting from my crates are Vile, Acosta, and Sawyers knee, it's annoying and discourging

[azure lintel]

All I get is the gas mask and the knee pads nothing else

Literally just want the back fire but game says no been grinding SMG missions and haven't gotten one been doing it for 5 days now lol same with the mantis day 4 of grinding it some random guy dropped it

[haughty summit]

Again welcome to RNG. And at least if you're not using the exotic it's a free exo mat for ya

[fiery cloud]

Hey Rendy0, kettle

[fallow stirrup]

Hey. Just came back to this game and purchased the dlc. Hit 40 and there are alot of new things to explore.

[azure lintel]

Welcome to hell jk lol

[fallow stirrup]

Well so far not far off 😄 It's somewhat confusion but that applies to all games you just start 😄

[azure lintel]

You doing story missions in NYC still?

[haughty summit]

Learn new mechanics as you go

[tender wave]

hey Saph

[lilac elbow]

Game is down?

[azure lintel]

Not for me

[modern epoch]

Nope

[desert crystal]

does the boss in lincoln mermorial count as a named enemy

[azure lintel]

If it has a name

[desert crystal]

all bosses have a name dont they

[azure lintel]

Well if it has a name I’m sure it’s a named enemy

[desert crystal]

so a named boss is counted as an enemy then

[fallow stirrup]

@azure lintel Na I'm done in NYC, doing side mission / mains back in Washington

[summer totem]

why is noone answering my backup call ;x;

[azure lintel]

Lol I usually have to sit and wait for 5 mind for help

[edgy dome]

just my guess but i think they just disabled the notification or set it to clan only (like myself) because it is annoying 😛

[waxen herald]

Does the named acs12 drop from dz

[wet igloo]

Ooooooo

𝙿𝚊𝚝𝚌𝚑 𝚗𝚘𝚝𝚎𝚜

[desert crystal]

maintinace tomorow

[tropic compass]

Maybe dz fixes tomorrow?

[desert crystal]

isnt it a new client patch tomrow as well

[waxen herald]

Is targetted loot not working in the dz rn LMAO

[tropic compass]

#server-status message rogues? That’s odd in a maintenance news post

[desert crystal]

dont you have to go to google and type division 2 server status

[fervent berry]

Hopefully there will be some news about the next apparel event.

[slender laurel]

Man, using the spec weapons are very fun.

Even with tip of the spear.

[fading orchid]

did maint already happen?

[slender laurel]

Idk

[honest cosmos]

i just finished the campaign and beat world tier 1 but my gear isnt good enough to keep up in world tier 2 and idk how crafting and stuff works

[slender laurel]

Ive been collecting bounties but all of them I got does not reward spec points.

Maybe its only exclusive to daily and clan bounties.

[cerulean sparrow]

So I just.bought the wony expansion is there supposed to be a download process for it

And how do I access the content cause I've no clue

[reef reef]

go to the helicopter on the whitehouse's lawn if you are level 30, world tier 5

[cerulean sparrow]

I am 30 but im only wt1

[reef reef]

keep working through the world tiers then

[cerulean sparrow]

Is that only way

[tulip sinew]

Hover on activities its gonna tell you if you get points or not

[reef reef]

you can skip content but thats not reccomended

you miss out on trophies and you already paid for it, might as well finish it out

[modern epoch]

What’s the best way to get the dark winter

[cerulean sparrow]

Trophies I dont.care about those

[reef reef]

still not reccomended, you are max like 15 missions away from WT5

[cerulean sparrow]

Since it shows my gear score as level now how do u get to 40

[reef reef]

you'll get your gearscore "hidden" once you go to the DLC

once you are in the DLC, that stays hidden

[cerulean sparrow]

Oh ok

[reef reef]

you'll just have levels

[cerulean sparrow]

So u don't recommend me going straight to the heli and just.grind world tiers

[reef reef]

its not really grinding, its just finishing them

[cerulean sparrow]

Side quests are optional right

[reef reef]

yes

its just the main missions that lead up to the strongholds

[cerulean sparrow]

Ok cool I'll try to complete the world tired then thanks

Tiers

[reef reef]

the missions that lead up to DUA, Roosevelt island, Capitol building, all invaded, then tidal basin and you are good to go

[cerulean sparrow]

Ok thanks man

[tulip sinew]

Dz smg targeted loot or named caches from all sources available
