Is there guide for getting nemesis?

[nimble spruce]

There are many to find if you search online

[inner tendon]

All are still valid, the only difference is that you can get a random part from Manning Zoo invaded after you've collected another bit.

[twin forum]

Got mine from a friend xd ez

[sacred sigil]

gentlemen, is there a sink for excessive optimization resources, aside from optimization itself?

[nimble spruce]

Not for the faction- or gear-specific ones, but the two rarest are used in higher-level expertise upgrades

[whole aspen]

when's the best time in US to matchmake for countdown on xbox?

[pliant wharf]

im not sure 'best time' but i tend to MM around 5pm - 7pm central and it is nearly instant

[dim crag]

Is it a guaranteed drop like in the other Strongholds when you kill a boss or need to run the mission over and over until one drops?

[whole aspen]

did they increase the drop rate for exotics? cuz ngl I've been getting alot of them -_- and i'm just hard difficulty in the open world

[foggy needle]

the nemesis parts are guaranteed drops from their source.

exotic drop rate wasnt changed @whole aspen

[whole aspen]

hmm interesting

[dim crag]

But the Manning Zoo specifically

[foggy needle]

invaded zoo drops 1 pieces you dont already have. (not blue print though)

[crystal hamlet]

delta 03 how to fix

[sacred sigil]

you don't. just try more.

[crystal hamlet]

....

[pliant wharf]

so if i only need 1 piece, invaded zoo will drop that piece for sure?

(not blueprint)

[sacred sigil]

if you're missing the piece from the zoo.

you might be missing a piece from another mission.

[foggy needle]

Yes Von.

[pliant wharf]

this is 2 differnet answers =P

[foggy needle]

invaded zoo drops any piece you dont already have. the other strongholds ONLY drop their specific piece.

[sacred sigil]

ah, ok then, my bad.

[pliant wharf]

ok this is good to know. ty.

[crystal hamlet]

DELTA 03!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dim crag]

So, the Zoo can drop any piece I don't have?

Currently, I'm missing the one from the Capitol Stronghold, last 2 were Roosevelt and District Union, that means I don't care which is the next week's Stronghold (Either Zoo or Capitol), I'm getting my Nemesis on Tuesday?

I have every other part, BP included

[foggy needle]

Delta 3 is a player side internet issue. start by restarting your router@crystal hamlet also please use #unofficial-troubleshooting https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/help/the-division-2/connectivity-and-performance/article/list-of-error-codes-in-the-division-2/000060912

yes Random

[dim crag]

Nice

Now the real grind starts

Optimization mats haha

[fallow inlet]

Hey Rivens, Vsvm, Kettle, Azurmen32,

[narrow kraken]

im at the start of the dlc, why are we fighting the cleaners if they basically do the same as us? wouldnt it be more logical for us to team up with them?

[oak talon]

saving what remains, and burning down what remains are not very compatible, the two have very little in overlapping interests

[narrow kraken]

ah ok, i thought they somewhat had the same goal after listening a bit to their broadcasts, they didnt seem too bad

[oak talon]

in maybe the base ideology of fighting the infection, maybe the tiniest bit,
but the actions taken to get to that goal are very, very different, the cleaners are at the core psychopathic murderers, there is no going around that

[pliant wharf]

where do you folks 'draw your line' regarding farm vs optimize?
given a drop with the correct rolls or recal viable, how many optimizations are you willing to put on... lets say a meta gun of some sort?

if it is a truly perfect roll (so you can recal talent) does that increase how many optimizations you will do?

i find that if i have to do more than 4 on a 'recal talent' gun or other 'msut have' piece.. i mark fav and keep farming.

[cedar tide]

How many optimizations am I willing to put on?

As little or as fewer times as possible.

[pliant wharf]

yes but.. at what poitn will you reject the drop as trash even if it is has dtooc etc

[cedar tide]

Me personally, if I have the right attribute but it's one optimization away from being max, it's good enough for me.

Otherwise, donate to expertise or scrap.

[pliant wharf]

so your limit is 1.

[cedar tide]

Personally, 1 or 0 is my ideal 😂

Optimization becomes hella expensive if you have to do it more than once.

[pliant wharf]

i suppose this is true hundo. im below 600 so .. resources are scarce still

[karmic harbor]

never ever used a status build before so can someone explain what status effects specifically does and what it applies to?

I wanna try make a foam build for countdown

[cedar tide]

Status Effect increases the duration of the effect on enemies: burn, blind, shock, disrupt, disorient, ensnare, and bleed.

Debuffs aren't status effects like Pestilence's DoT. It's unaffected by Vile.

Can't think if I missed one stat effect tho 😂

[karmic harbor]

sorry but that's not an explanation you just showed me 2 builds

[karmic harbor]

does it also increase potency? or is that skill damage

[cedar tide]

I think that's skill damage, iirc.

Stat effect just prolongs the negative effect longer.

[fallow inlet]

Hey Zephyr

[karmic harbor]

does skill damage by chance do anything to foam? like something stupid you wouldnt know like dtooc working with oxi etc

[cedar tide]

Foam doesn't do any damage by itself, only ensnares enemies and stuff. But oxi procs DTOOC, doesn't it? I may have heard this somewhere in here or different channel.

[hidden frost]

oxi works with DTA and DTOOC, you can even hold a shotgun to get more damage per tick

[cedar tide]

Burn and bleed are the only status effects are deal damage, I think. Others are just utility effects to CC enemies.

[karmic harbor]

yeah my point was maybe skill damage had a hidden buff or something that wasn't to do with damage necessarily if you get what I mean

also i think oxi does, i have a chart saved with what dta and dtooc works with

[cedar tide]

Mmmm, maybe. I got a bit confused by skill dmg having hidden buffs, but I think I have an idea of where you're getting at.

[karmic harbor]

but it doesn't mention dth

[karmic harbor]

I dont play the game a lot but I heard in tf2 a lot of weapons have hidden stats that just aren't shown for whatever reason, probably got the idea from there

[cedar tide]

Honestly, I wouldn't know much about DTOOC or DTA/DTH being applied to certain skills. It's interesting mechanics tho, but I wouldn't be generally aware of it myself. Folks here are good enough to explain some of the science

[karmic harbor]

shame

[narrow kraken]

I wasn’t aware there are hidden skills/buffs on weapons

[karmic harbor]

in tf2 or td2?

[narrow kraken]

TD2

[karmic harbor]

all i can remember off the top of my head is oxi being applicable with dta and dtooc

are there any other ones even?

[cedar tide]

I'd like to think fire chem would apply 😂

[narrow kraken]

Been running countdown the last 2 days, probably 30 runs and summmit on legendary, and have even done the legendary daily mission trying to get max level armor core on holster and gloves. Yes I have them as my targeted loot and no matter what, I get max weapon damage and the few times I get an armor core it’s like half of that I have. Any tips to farm?

Just getting frustrating

Not sure what masks and Holster name brands come with more armor cores

[supple swift]

foundry bulwark should work

[oak talon]

target something with blue as its core over the slot, gear sets overall seem to have a higher tendency to give max rolls over HE

[narrow kraken]

So run countdown and make my targeted loot Bulwark?

[supple swift]

sacrifice 2 goats and 5 chickens

[narrow kraken]

Times are tough we are in a recession. Best I can do is 3 chickens.

[pearl pine]

How do I unlock Countdown?

[narrow kraken]

Sacrifice 3 chickens

[pearl pine]

what?

[narrow kraken]

Yeah I think it unlocks after level 40 when you finish WONY

[pearl pine]

I finished that

[narrow kraken]

Open your map and you should see a green icon toward the right and top of the map. Should say power plant/countdown

It’s outside of the DC map on the top right

Should be able to access it if you are level 40

[storm river]

depends on my patience. the longer ive been searching, the more times im willing to optimize

[pearl pine]

I can only see the blank factory picture and it says Pentco Fairview Power Plant, I can't teleport to it, click or select anything to start countdown

[karmic harbor]

try triggering a tutorial of sorts maybe?

like go up to the countdown vendor laptops possibly

[narrow kraken]

If you see the green icon on the power plant you press triangle on PlayStation to match make. You don’t just fast travel there

[pearl pine]

I can open the countdown vendor

[pliant wharf]

so you have a green icon on top of the location on teh map?
if so, while pointer is on it, yuou should see 'goto countdown menu' as an option, along with select target loot, adn show targeted loot.

[narrow kraken]

Did you 100% finish WONY and are you level 40? If so maybe try talking to Kelso in the basement to see if that unlocks it

[karmic harbor]

actually yeha try what hundo said

[pearl pine]

and SHD 133 atm so yeah 40

I can create it at the helicopter

but shouldn't that be possible on the map aswell?

[pearl pine]

if I try to hover over it I am just simply trying to Call for Backup

mmh I can try creating a countdown match once and then maybe there will a difference on the map after I finish it

[pliant wharf]

worth a shot

[pearl pine]

ye

[pearl pine]

that wasn't shown to me

nope even after finishing a countdown match I still can't see that on my map

well I can play when I start it with helicopter but mmmh :/

[whole aspen]

What's the best way to farm disorient for Xander league?

[cedar tide]

Banshee pulse disorients too, doesn't it?

HF + Banshee tech works wonders

[ashen egret]

Best way to get exotics?

[whole aspen]

Been using Scorpio banshee but it seems like it's taking a while even though I have been using both at every opportunity for the past few hours I'm only at 3/10 for disorient :(

[cedar tide]

I find it easier to do these challenges in Summit or by replaying missions

[inner tendon]

Running the Time Trials with randoms and being entirely dedicated to the Challenges helps a lot.
And you help other people finish theirs too.

[whole aspen]

Ok thanks

[rocky bone]

How does one farm for targeted loot?
I'm about to beat the DLC, which I jumped into right after I beat the base game (skipping World Levels), meaning I'll be reaching that endgame soon.
In general I have no idea how to farm equipment. I'm running Sharpshooter spec and got a white death so I'm just sustaining myself with headshot damage and weapon damage bonuses honestly

[inner tendon]

I never understood why people skip the World Tiers, they barely take any time and are critical for the Story.

[twin forum]

When u open map there is button to show targeted loot

[raw harbor]

Two ways. If you hit R on the map (that's the default keybind, at least) it'll show you what areas/missions have which targeted loot.
Also, if you go into Countdown or Summit, you can hold H (again, that's the default bind, might be different for you) on the map screen to select what loot you want to target in that activity.

[cedar tide]

Only shows up in Summit and Countdown

[twin forum]

U just decide what to farm, find where it is today and farm it

[raw harbor]

Notably for Summit and Countdown (but moreso for Summit) is the fact that you can change your focus farm mid-activity, so if you get the thing you want early on, you can swap to something else.

Focus-farming a specific armor piece is one of the better ways to try and get exotics of that type, as attempting to do so otherwise means trying to contend with Exotic Caches that can drop you anything, including exotics you already have.

[rocky bone]

Well, didn't know it had story importance. Felt like a cheap way to make me replay the entire game again so I thought it'd be a waste of time

[twin forum]

I didnt do world tiers either

[raw harbor]

It has minor story importance. The TL;DR is that Black Tusk, a mercenary company, causes problems on purpose and now you have to go beat them up for trying to blow up the White House.

[cedar tide]

Can't recall, but wouldn't you need to meet the gear score prerequisite to get to the next WT? Maybe it's the farming that might take a bit of moments.

[raw harbor]

World tiers were pretty annoying and very repetitive and I can't blame anyone for wanting to skip them

I'm very glad that post-DLC progression is just "your gear is level 40" and gearscore doesn't exist

[cedar tide]

If you value the universe's lore as much as gameplay, you wouldn't skip the tiers. Probably a niche thing for most players, albeit some are really engaged in the story and stuff, and that's pretty cool.

[rocky bone]

It just didn't register with me that it actually had a story importance xD

[cedar tide]

The lore is an investment of its own, starting in Div1 or possibly branching away to some graphic novels.

But if someone wanna dive into the fight, then by all means, go for it. Whatever makes ye happy.

[rocky bone]

Might do World tiers on an alt char one day to catch up

[loud saddle]

no gear score requirement for the world tiers, just completing the missions/strongholds unlocks the next tier pretty much. not much of a gear grind to it, though I guess you could get undergeared quickly if u ran through it all without picking up better loot from ground.

[rocky bone]

By the way, how would you build for a sharpshooter spec? Just a general thing to go off of. I recon a lot of headshot damage bonuses on the gear? The hologram is also nice to have, if a bit limited in duration

[cedar tide]

Yeah, cool. Maybe it's that pressure to keep up with the gear is what motivates some players to entirely skip the tiers altogether. It would be tedious to an extent.

[loud saddle]

I was actually a little upset cause when I ran through it on my HC character i spent time trying to grind gear to reach GS500 for the comm, then someone told me just going to WONY and gearing up did the same thing and completed the comm. SONUVA, lol.

[inner tendon]

It's not "playing the entire game again", it's running through some incredibly short missions that have altered factions inside them, some with alternate routes, changes Strongholds, and advancing the plot.

[ashen egret]

For discovery raids can you only get loot weekly or can you farm it

[inner tendon]

Discovery Raids don't have the Raid-Locked Loot at all (including Exotics), nor the Blueprints, nor the Projects.
Just skip them and find a Normal Raid.

[ashen egret]

Oh so normal raids give killer loot?

[bitter epoch]

not really, but raid exclusives

[narrow matrix]

It depends on how complicated people make it out to be I feel, they don’t drop their old gear and pick up the new stuff so they’re underpowered and spend a lot of time trying to do CPs

[ashen egret]

Oh like destiny

What are the raid exotics and are they good?

[bitter epoch]

Dark Hours: Eagle Bearer (AR)
Iron Horse: Ravenous and Regulus

Pretty good weapons, i use Regulus for farming resource convois and the ravenous for a raid tank build
And the AR is solid

[ashen egret]

lol I want the eagle bearer and regulus I didn’t know they were from the raids

Should I be a recommended shd level? I’m only at lvl 5 atm

[bitter epoch]

for running raids you probably should have a solid dmg build, so that the rest of the squad don´t have it much harder. But shd doesn´t really matter in that case

[ashen egret]

The division 2 is so overwhelming I’m trying to farm builds but I don’t know how

[bitter epoch]

Build first, shd later. And you will have to get used to the processes of how to beat the encounter
You need help with talking about builds?

[ashen egret]

Yes please

[inner tendon]

Someone will be able to assist you down in #td2-build-advice

[mystic forge]

tips on killing the hunter in Schaeffer's manhunt solo?

[inner tendon]

Outside of the obvious but blunt (get a better build, learn how they move, use stronger stuff, etc), if all else fails, you can turn down the Difficulty.

[mystic forge]

I was determined to do it on Heroic, and the game just removes that encounter after like 4 tries??? That's LAME

[ashen egret]

best high end ar?

[royal warren]

Do we know what happened to the agent from Division 1? Not fan theories, but straight from the devs/writers.

[mystic forge]

kingbreaker is meta, FAL for sustain dps, FAMAS for burst

[ashen egret]

sooooo what about for a dps (crit build)

[oak talon]

fal for sustain?, its almost at the bottom of the sustain list.....

[mystic forge]

I run glass cannon so I still do more damage with a FAMAS, but other than that, I think that kingbreaker with spotter outdpses anything

[ashen egret]

what about best ar including exotics

for crit/dps

[mystic forge]

still same answer

[ashen egret]

oh lol so u would say kingbreaker?

[mystic forge]

ye

[ashen egret]

thasnks ill farm that now

[mystic forge]

need that spotter talent on chest tho

[ashen egret]

what does that do

[mystic forge]

Closer is great if you can get red talents so you make the main attribute red

Amplifies damage against pulsed targets

You can get an attachment on your kingbreaker to pulse anything you aim at

[ashen egret]

what attachmetn?

[mystic forge]

the attachment you get with a technician specialization

[ashen egret]

bro im new to this game who is the technichian

[mystic forge]

specializations are like another form of progression, it's like a secondary profession kinda ... I don't remember when you unlock that

It's like another skill tree

and you have to level it up

[ashen egret]

oh yeah i have that ohh now i understand

thx

how do i get points for the techniciasn?

[mystic forge]

you level up while you have that specialization active

[ashen egret]

ah ok thanks

wont let me activate it tho

[mystic forge]

Think you have to buy it or something

[ashen egret]

wait nvm i have to do the challenges

[azure turtle]

Why do people create so many wony characters?

[mystic forge]

You get insane amounts of mats from watch levels

[azure turtle]

But crafting mats aren't saved between characters?

[mystic forge]

They are. You have to buy the "mats shared between accounts" thing from the chick that sells you crafting stuff in the white house

[raw harbor]

it's like 8k bitcoin or whatever the currency in this game is supposed to be

what the heck are e-credits and why are we using them as currency, anyways?

[azure turtle]

Wait, WHAT?

[sacred sigil]

well, what else is supposed to be serving as currency in post-apocalypse? bottlecaps? ammo? canned ham?

some nonsense shd-magic crypto is as good/bad solution as any other.

[whole aspen]

bottle caps like we in fallout or something lol

[ashen egret]

can you farm DH for eagle bearer?

and how do i get high stat gear like gear thats got some maxed out stats cause on countdown ive gotten like only 1 piece that has max crit

[mystic forge]

for DH you need to find a group that's willing to teach a new player, it's not just something you can farm casually

you get maxed gear by optimizing and recalibrating

anyway in my opinion eagle bearer is massively overrated

[raw harbor]

honestly, any of the resources we gather make more sense as currencies than e-dollars, though I suppose we don't really have any confirmation that anyone outside the Division actually use them for anything...

[karmic harbor]

what's the difference between burst and sustain other than rpm?

is it weapon handling?

[oak talon]

sustain also accounts for reloads, burst is only weapon damage times rounds per second

here is the guide i wrote for it a while back, that goes into it a bit more indepth
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1J2kVJ45fYKIDxlyWw7zh2vYVbrV7ChaJs34E17eRJd4/edit

and here are my weapon comparison tables that are sorted in burst and sustain
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1dBD1oKXzJB1E3bMJtfRNxRHoDCtkkZy8

[ashen egret]

best things to farm in countdown?

[raw harbor]

whatever you want

nothing is really any rarer than anything else, so just target farm whatever it is you're looking for. if there's nothing in particular, check to see if there's any materials you're low on (gun receivers, armor brand mats, etc) and go for those

if neither of those check any boxes, look for exotics you haven't gotten yet that might random drop and farm those categories. not a super high chance but if you have absolutely nothing else to farm for then why not

that's what I've been doing to try and farm out a Scorpio

[storm river]

Luck/high difficulty

[timid vessel]

supposedly that ump-45 smg exists as lvl 30, but not lvl 40. does it matter if its before or after gearscore lvl 30?

[narrow matrix]

It would need to be high end as far as I know

And much like the recalibration station you cannot extract level 30 items to the level 40 library so I’m not sure about the proficiency

[somber mirage]

my heartbreaker build wasnt building stacks at all when playing summit. is that normal or something?

[jaunty dust]

need to reequip your loadout

a bug

[somber mirage]

yeah i did that and then like a minute into the firefight it just stops building stacks again

[supple swift]

happens A LOT.
remove i HB piece then put it back on

[dusky shadow]

It’s been so long since I’ve played this game, lol, so I’m going for a long rage sniper support build, any recommendations? I use the Sharpshooter specialty and I have it completely upgraded, I just recommends for equipment

[narrow matrix]

I just made a build yesterday, 3 pieces aces that goes anywhere but chest and backpack, 1 piece providence, 2 piece araldi, with headshot damage and weapon handling + headhunter + vigilance

The channel you’d probably want to ask for tho is #td2-build-advice

[whole aspen]

Any tips on having good positioning?

[sacred sigil]

don't use fog of war directive.

look at your radar, hide from where red blips are.

done.

[narrow kraken]

You could watch competent players on Youtube on how they move, what they use for cover, where they're aiming, etc...

Hard to explain in words

[whole aspen]

Wait there's a radar? Where?

[whole aspen]

Ah fair enough

[jaunty dust]

should use that directive to build independence from radar

listen to your surroundings more

take cover if you panic

[sacred sigil]

well, if you can play like that, more power to you, sure.

[whole aspen]

I normally just use my ears but I have a hard time hearing direction :s

[narrow kraken]

especially in this game, I agree

[jaunty dust]

learn, radar not quick enough to inform you of the outcast suicider 10meters from u

[sacred sigil]

but in my experience it's really not the most sound-aware game.

[narrow kraken]

I thought my settings were jacked but some of the audio does not match up

[whole aspen]

It's a common problem in ubi shooters lol

[jaunty dust]

in terms of audio, i play using closed headphones, didn't enable 3D or anything tho

[sacred sigil]

lol, suiciders and other rushers are slapping their feet 50 meters out, that's beside the point.

how will they save from some sniper turret oneshot from other side of the street?

does it make a sound?

[jaunty dust]

sniper, need to watch for the glint

dun need radar

[whole aspen]

I use my eyes for snipers and dronies

[sacred sigil]

like i said, if you can play like that, awesome.

[jaunty dust]

well, just learn, radar is only good when there is some mob hiding in the corner of the map

XD

my problem is usually spotting the drone operators early on

need to make them my priority

[whole aspen]

I think my main problem is I'm a glass cannon without the cannon till I can get my burn build going and I'm trying to solo challenging bounties/cp 4s :s

[jaunty dust]

then you got the 'part-time' grenadiers, taking cover is useless

[whole aspen]

I've been heavily reliant on mantis and now Scorpio for killing stuff

[jaunty dust]

when i first started out this game, i died alot in heroic since everything kills me in 2 seconds

[narrow kraken]

the grenadiers are the highest IQ enemies in this game

[whole aspen]

They really are though

[narrow kraken]

literally doing physics to land that grenade on me

[whole aspen]

Can you shoot nades out of the air?

[jaunty dust]

you can

[whole aspen]

Ok

[open epoch]

hey guys, how big is the player base for this game still?

[narrow kraken]

I've tried more than I've been successful

[jaunty dust]

oh, its easy when you use things like bullet king

[whole aspen]

Big enough for it to still get updates

[jaunty dust]

prolly 2-4k still playing once in a while

on weekends more countdowns and summits

[open epoch]

so not as big as it once was

but still a good size community

[jaunty dust]

not really sure what ubisoft is doing tho

[open epoch]

wdym?

[jaunty dust]

they have a few games delayed

and not much news about TD2 when talking to their investors

then you got this announcements of updates

so, there are no clear message what they are up to

u need $$$ to pay salaries for people to maintain and add content

[open epoch]

fair, well would you say it’s still worth it to get into the game this late

[jaunty dust]

also recently ubisoft just switched off servers for a certain game

so it is hard to say

most of the TD2 original developers are tied with other games

the current developers are kinda new

[open epoch]

don’t quite know much yet

[jaunty dust]

maybe they are fresh developers and lower paid or something, they can afford to feed them

[open epoch]

oh well

[jaunty dust]

well, if you played TD1, TD2 and the DLC is worth if you purchase during promotion/sale

dont pay full price for the game

[whole aspen]

Imo dlc story is better than base td2

[jaunty dust]

personally TD1 has better storytelling

[whole aspen]

I just wish you would've been able to go rogue in the story it would've been such a interesting dynamic ik u can rogue in DZ but I don't care for pvp

[jaunty dust]

TD2 is technologically more advanced. They need to fix the engine tho.

it can be repurpose for other stuff.

i think I enjoyed TD2 camera alot

not constrained to the oldschool console-style movement and camera angles

tho i play mostly PC

[modern sparrow]

Division 1 was the best i can play 5 hours continuously without getting boring

[whole aspen]

I miss support station

[jaunty dust]

just get 2 person with different hives.. then u will have support-station-like performance

[patent marsh]

I mainly miss the atmosphere of TD1. TD2 is gorgeous, but it doesn't click for me for some reason

[narrow kraken]

100% agree

[jaunty dust]

people hate humid summers in general, so yah

[patent marsh]

But I won't miss the time I've spent soloing legendary missions, that's for sure

[jaunty dust]

i live in a place like what you see in TD2, all year round

[narrow kraken]

NY at night is probably my favorite in this game

[patent marsh]

When I first bought TD2, I was speedrunning for the NY DLC without using the boost

When I got there, it doesn't feel right somehow 🥲

[whole aspen]

Ye

[gleaming warren]

Is legendary boss drop for bighorn fixed for every legendary named in game or is it different between Legendary stronghold and Legendary Summit?

[dim crag]

What is this for?

[tulip fiber]

Liberty exotic pistol quest

[dim crag]

Oh

Just got it randomly from some named guy while doing my weekly project haha

That's the Deagle, right?

[rocky bone]

Wow

Of all words to censor I wouldn't have expected that one

Anyhow
What's a skill to look out for on the White Death?
The one I currently use, while currently my most powerful thanks to its quite high headshot multiplier, has a really bad skill on it that wants me to kill close by enemies. And that's kinda useless on that weapon since I swap to my AR when people are too close.

[sacred sigil]

skill - as in, talent on the weapon itself?

i love lucky shot, like nothing else can possibly compare.

[tulip fiber]

Yes. The other pieces drop from True Sons bosses in missions.

[dim crag]

Oh, nice

Random drops from bosses or specific ones?

[tulip fiber]

Should be the same. If it’s invaded, just change the mission to regular so it’s a True Sons. https://youtu.be/YvM-5q5TYjM

[rocky bone]

Wasn't that increased mag size in cover and missed shots return to the mag?
I mean, if that's good on it then I'll try it out

[sacred sigil]

it basically upgrades WD from "5 shots per reload" weapon to "6 kills per reload", since misses don't count.

absolutely transformative and liberating.

[rocky bone]

Assuming you hit headshots and they kill in one shot
Sometimes some enemies survive. Like elites. Elite heavy gunners can also be a pain since they take 2 headshots to break the helmet for me.

[sacred sigil]

with headhunter they don't survive, that's the point.

and not fearing missed shots helps with aiming for heads specifically.

i mean, yeah, you're right, machine gunners with their helmets are annoying, but they're a relative minority.

[rocky bone]

headhunter? that some armor skill?

[steady sail]

Does the reinforcement system have limitations between players in the different World Tiers?

[sacred sigil]

yes, a chest talent, a mainstay of all sniper builds.

[rocky bone]

I'll keep an eye out then
I haven't really worried about builds so far as I've essentially just gone thru the story and collected the shd caches and such

[rocky bone]

damn headhunter really is huge

[raw harbor]

yeah, that's fine, Countdown is so hilariously effective at farming that it's honestly a better idea to wait until post-WONY to farm build stuff anyways

[rocky bone]

currently arrived on he island with lady liberty, so I think I'll be post wony soon enough

[raw harbor]

oh yeah you're in the final bit

[sacred sigil]

the boss fight is pure cancer.

[rocky bone]

If I wan to farm the White Death, I should just go for sniper targeted loot, right?

I need a good marksman rifle anyway

[tulip fiber]

Yes

[eager yoke]

for ridgeways pride do i still follow the same steps from a year ago? like normal 1-10 hard 11-20 ect?

[oak talon]

the part of aquiring the parts has changed, so that will be outdated as summit has changed

the parts now drop at 1 per 20 floor section, each 20 section having its dedicated part, and the sections are no longer locked to difficulties, so you can do it at what difficulty you set it at

they will have a number infront of the name aswell, indicating the section they have come from, so 120 for 1-20, 2140 for 21-40 and so on.

[rocky bone]

ah damn the tip of the spear targeted loot area is a dark zone
how dangerous are they in general? I usually avoid them

[whole aspen]

if no players they are pretty dangerous, if there are players I'd just leave tbh

[rocky bone]

oh hey nice, what are the odds of getting the exotic i want from the first exotic cache I open xD

no really how many exotics are there

[whole aspen]

nice congrats I've been getting so many exotics since returning after not playing for 3 years :s

[oak talon]

dz is a pvpve area, you can be assaulted by other players, so usually not recommended untill you know what you are doing
also, targeted loot in the dz is currently broken, so its not a gear farming area at all till they fix it
you are better off going to summit or countdown and setting your targeted loot there to whatever you need

[fair bone]

yay go Pidge!

[sacred sigil]

in a global pool around 15-20, probably. so yeah, gratz.

[eager yoke]

@oak talon tysm!

difficulty doesnt matter anymore right?

[sacred sigil]

for ridgeway part drops? apparently not.

[eager yoke]

ok bet

[rocky bone]

say, what does Proficiency do?

[ashen egret]

Do exotic caches only award exotics you have earnt?

[whole aspen]

they award exotics you've earned and of course ones that are just a loot drop

[ashen egret]

Fr?

Cause I’ve opened 4 and only gotten sweet dreams

[sacred sigil]

at the very least that's more exotic components, which are always in huge demand.

never a wasted box.

[ashen egret]

Yh

[storm river]

chainkiller is providence right?

[cedar tide]

Chainkiller is WH&C. I think The Sacrifice is Providence (?)

[molten jetty]

yes, The Sacrifice and The Gift

[whole aspen]

Are CP 4s really the best way to farm elite hyenas for Xander league?

[sacred sigil]

bounties too, if you have 'em.

heroic hyena missions.

a little bit of everything.

[whole aspen]

ok thanks

also do you know if the hyena elites/disorients is a group challenge or something you can only progress solo?

[inner tendon]

Anyone in your group doing them counts for you too.

[whole aspen]

ty

[sacred sigil]

no it doesn't, unfortunately.

at least, not for our group.

i'm dazing people left and right with HF, my comrades are getting zilch on their counters. likewise with kills.

[cedar tide]

I found this part kinda buggin' out. Sometimes, challenges don't count for the entire group like killing elites and stuff. I thought the player who gets the last killing shot gets the count and no one else. Maybe it's challenge dependent? Maybe I've had terrible luck?

[sacred sigil]

it's like in summit. half of the challenges are pesonal, half are squad-wide.

and there's no indication nor logic in which are which.

you can only find out via testing.

[oak talon]

the challenges to kill/status from each league are always personal, its only with the global event and summit ones where some are shared groupwide

[cedar tide]

If that's the case, then thanks for clarifying it 👍

[inner tendon]

I'm not entirely sure either way, but I could've sworn that the "kill elite of faction" challenge was group-wide.

[ashen egret]

Why do people do floor ten?

[inner tendon]

Fast completion, easy to reach again if you mess up.

[ashen egret]

No but like what’s the point

[cedar tide]

SHD level farming. Just so happens that floor 10 is the quickest way to get there from the lobby.

[oak talon]

also it is the easiest boss floor, with the least waves, even if you had the chance at a higher floor, it will be more efficient quickly to just reset and do the 1-9 chore and farm at 10, than to farm anything higher

[rocky bone]

how common is this bug that it doesnt register a cp as captured? killed them all, reinforcements are already here as you can see, but it won't complete xD

[oak talon]

happens from time to time, but also with that cp and some like it, the waves spawn way out, and may be fighting other stuff, have a look to the east, at where the tunnel road meets the main road, to see if you find some enemies there

[rocky bone]

I mean i killed the enemy leader wave, but maybe one got suck back there

I#ll take a look

[fair bone]

how many proficiency ranks until I'm proficient and I can upgrade it? 10?

[oak talon]

otherwise the option is to fast travel away and back to redo the defend phase

[golden geode]

if it get stuck fast travel to a safe area and back

[oak talon]

yes, level 10 is the max and is considered proficient

[rocky bone]

I did that

[fair bone]

thanks

[rocky bone]

still stuck xD
just gonna restart the game

[golden geode]

yes try that

[whole aspen]

does the reward track for xander league reset next week or jsut the challenges?

[rocky bone]

How do I level up the base game specialisations? I have only ever used the dlc ones so far and those have their points all unlocked from the getgo so I kinda missed that part

[molten jetty]

lvl up?as in the new efficiency system?

[rocky bone]

nah, as in get the specialization points required to use the specialization perks

[molten jetty]

oh, on that, i do believe that when you are in the interface for that there's the "what you need to do " list as you tries to unlock it

[rocky bone]

alright neat

as I said I only ever used the dlc specs and they just come maxed out from the start

[molten jetty]

oh i see...welp for the base game's 3, if you need any hand, just give a call, from what I have gathered it is a pain (did mine years ago so i kinda forgot it)

some need you to bleed a specific enemy and things like that

[inner tendon]

Each "League" has 2 weeks in total, once the first Reset hits, the challenges reset to 0, but you keep all the points gained so far.

[rocky bone]

honestly i'm mainly interested in gunner
because I hear you can get a good chestplate from that
and I kinda want a bullet hose build next to my sharpshooter one

[molten jetty]

the perfectly braced chest i think

the "stay in cover and no recoil"

[rocky bone]

sounds nice

[molten jetty]

ah heck, might as well start up mine and see what you need to do

[whole aspen]

ty

[molten jetty]

AH HA, go to the specizaliztion guy, select the one you need, press G for field research, and the list is there

[rocky bone]

neat thanks

[molten jetty]

and yes, your chest is a tier 2 reward

[rocky bone]

that one seems doable with the capacitor
forgot how to get that ar tho

[molten jetty]

stage 1, defeat enemies with mounted minigun, stage 2, defeat bleeding enemies (ridgeway chest/ ongoing directive) stage 3 defeat burning enemies (elipse and just the flame thrower) , stage 4, defeat heavy weapon guys and defect enemies with a pulse on them (heart breaker) stage 5, defeat enemies with LMG, and defect x number of enemies with the mounted minigun on roosevelt island on normal difficulty

[simple magnet]

No it won't let me Buy the dlc

Everyone says Xbox is fixed so it's hard to get help for this problem on xbox

[nimble spruce]

Tried opening a ticket with Ubisoft support?

I think there's a link in #unofficial-troubleshooting pins

[simple magnet]

Not working it keeps telling me to sign in when I am

[nimble spruce]

Clear cookies?

[simple magnet]

I'll try that

[agile fjord]

Okay so... I just saw the new roadmap.... nowhere does it mention the Specialization overhaul that was discussed in the previous intelligence annexes... did that get scrapped or what?

[dull halo]

Does anybody knows why when i get close to some players (rogues) i lag hardly (ps4)?
Maybe i need to fix something about my internet ? idk

[clear sand]

hate to ask, but would anyone have a spare Scorpio they could drop me? i'm giving up farming for this thing...its like it doesnt exist

[sacred sigil]

unfortunately, a player can only share items that dropped while being in a party, and only for the party members who were there at the moment of the drop.

[clear sand]

dang....

[sacred sigil]

so even if somebody wanted to drop a spare for you, they couldnt.

[clear sand]

thats unfortunate... the farm broke me 😉 oh well at least i still got pestilence

[supple swift]

where and how are you farming this?

[clear sand]

exotic caches and trying summit with target loot

[supple swift]

join a summit 10F farm on heroic. bring an oxi build or find a group thats willing to do non oxi strat. spam that floor ad infinitum with shotguns as targeted loot until you get one. you'll get a few sweet dreams in there before you get one probably

[clear sand]

the 10f farm i havent tried, just been running the whole thing

will give it a shot thx

[supple swift]

ask them beforehand to drop you a scorpio. big chance they wont especially due to expertise these days but try asking nevertheless

[oak talon]

most of those exotics you get floor 10 farming arent from targeted, but from mission complete reward, floor 10 even with a speed team is a bad targeted loot farm
you might be better off trying countdown countdown, even if its just for variety, but there is also more loot there in general over summit,

[supple swift]

you get exotics faster in 10F and you dont get crash/disconnect/kick/issues

[oak talon]

exotics in general yes, targeted exotic no, the mission complete reward is the same as a exotic cache in terms of pool to clarify, and is not considering targeted loot, its a different drop source, so its pretty bad if you are after a specific one

[supple swift]

i must have really good rng then coz whenever someone needs it and im in their session i usually get the exact item. in less than an hour

[oak talon]

pay attention next times you receive a exotic, and you will see that in most cases, the exotic is an extra reward along side a targeted drop in that floor complete rewards pop up, indicating its not from targeted loot but a mission reward source, the rare cases when you get one item in there and its a exotic, is when you got lucky and got an exotic from the targeted loot source for that reward, but thats rare,

[supple swift]

tbh i dont care how it drops as long as it drops.
i'll take your word for it on the info tho

[ashen egret]

Is it frowned upon if I just farm the hunters at the beginning of countdown and then leave?

[oak talon]

yeah, you leave your team at a disadvantage, but more importantly, you are missing out on the parts where you actually get good loot.
the four named items are barely worth the time it cost to matchmake and run the hunters.

[ashen egret]

Where are the parts where I get good loot

Cause I’m just tryna get foxes prayer

[oak talon]

also you forfeit any countdown coins if you leave the run, and those coins are decently usefull with the countdown vendor having dz items from time to time, and the caches it sells

[ashen egret]

Oh Yh truuu

But like 2 mins is faster than 15

But whatever

[oak talon]

the hunters drop random nameds from a non target source, so its bad if you are after a specific named, its just full random, the drops during the run, and the item farm at the chopper at the end, is where you are way more likely to get something you are targeting

[ashen egret]

I mean I got foxes prayers from the hunters both times

[oak talon]

random doesnt mean it cant happen, it means random

[ashen egret]

K

[oak talon]

the chances are way lower to get something you are after the second its outside of targeted loot, as without restrictions, the drop pools get huge

[ashen egret]

K

[supple swift]

or get yourself a partner and duo the countdown opening hunters

[pulsar latch]

What's a good build for pve and PvP alike?

[real cypress]

hey guys, where can i find my ubisoft code redeemed for 100 units?

[meager dragon]

The whole point in being rogue is killing other '' AGENTS''

[whole aspen]

uh not necessarily

the only reason you say that is because that was the only option you got as a "rogue agent" in division.

[narrow matrix]

Aside from the dark zone the idea of Rogue is to go off mission and betray your duty as an Agent… Keeners Rogue network did exactly that because Keener wasn’t pleased with what went down in the dark zone and he was left to die

Then he went all I am a god needing to cleanse and rebuild because it can’t be saved

[meager dragon]

Keener is literally fighting shd agents

[narrow matrix]

Cause they aren’t aligned for the same goal

They turn their back on what the division stands for because they don’t think their lives are worth dying for a cause that can’t be saved

[muted grove]

What side mission unlocks the crafting recipe for the underbarrel laser pointer?

[somber mirage]

are shields bugged? the thing wont regen to max so i can switch skills...

[rocky bone]

Is chainkiller just headhunter without the headshot requirement? Never saw it so I'm just guessing here

Nevermind, looked it up

[storm river]

so if i have all the ridgeways pieces, despite being on floor 50 (have gotten it from playing with others) do i just need to do the remaining floors to get the project?

[narrow kraken]

is there a way to increase camera mode range? It's quite small for the shots i would like to take

[twin forum]

I think project is floor100, might be wrong tho

[storm river]

thats what i meant. i need to finish remainging floors, ie get to and finish floor 100

[twin forum]

Before it was pretty easy to join group doing floor100, thats why i mentioned it that way

[oak talon]

to get the actual project once you have all the parts, you have to beat the hunters at floor 100, it will then give you the project that will lead to the blueprint

you could matchmake into a few summit groups, and see if you can get a higher waypoint than you have now, might even get a group at or very close to 100

[twin forum]

People dont do summit 100 that often nowadays?

[oak talon]

once you complete a floor with them, you will have that checkpoint for yourself aswell

[twin forum]

Used to be super easy to find floor100 group

I guess countdown changed that

[oak talon]

floor 100 farm got slightly nerfed, and floor 10 is now the default xp farm

[storm river]

i kinda want to actually do it myself though

ive already done floor 100 once, but i wanna get through from the bottom on my own

[ashen egret]

Is the carbine 7 a good ar?

Also why does my carbine 7 do 470 more dmg then my friends? They are both the same lvl

[storm river]

yes

[storm river]

rolls, build, gear

[ashen egret]

No like I mean on the gun mine says 94.5 but his says 94

[oak talon]

the stated weapon damage in your inventory includes the weapon damage from your build

[ashen egret]

Also ever since I updated my drivers my game has crashed so much

[ashen egret]

Oh ok

[twin forum]

Carb7 is god like ar

Hard to get good one tho

Atleast it used to be hard

[oak talon]

all off the same weapon will have the same base weapon dmg, so for example all lvl 40 carbine 7 are the same base dmg, so only the stat difference matters,

[ashen egret]

I got a pretty decent one

[twin forum]

3rd atribute? Talent?

[inner tendon]

The toughest part about getting a good C7 is that the Talent is always default "Overflowing", and you want to change that.
so you need to pick one up that already has dtooc as the 3rd Attribute.

[twin forum]

Exactly

Also decent stats cuz optimizing is pain

Got one with ~90% stats, good enough for me, might optimize it in future, but eh...

[ashen egret]

What’s dtooc?

[inner tendon]

"damage to target out of cover", the tl;dr is that it's the best 3rd attribute in about 99% of cases.

[ashen egret]

Yh I’m going to recalibrate it to that when I get it maxed

[inner tendon]

You're going to want to change the Talent from Overflowing, since the c7 always drops with that by default.

So I'd just farm out a new one that already has dtooc on it, and work from there.

[ashen egret]

Wait can’t I recalibrate the talent and dtooc?

[inner tendon]

Nope, can only recalibrate a single "stat" on an item.

[ashen egret]

Damn

[inner tendon]

can pick any stat, but once you've done it, can only ever change that particular stat.

[ashen egret]

Ok thanks

Is the famas better?

[dusk vortex]

DPS wise it's up there with the high rpm ones

[sacred sigil]

most ARs are the same. they vary a bit in terms of faster mag dump or better control or some such, but it all ends up within like maybe 5% of each other.

so the important thing is what you got rolled well (dtooc + strained / fast hands / optimist etc), and what you feel good using.

[dusk vortex]

I think for ARs there has to be groups for em lol

[oak talon]

famas is above the rest though, it does have its own minor downsides, but no other weapon comes close to its burst and sustain without major downsides

[dusk vortex]

There's dps and damage per mag oriented ones respectively

[sacred sigil]

or like there's the kingbreaker, which is automatic 5% advantage over the best possible unnamed base.

[inner tendon]

Famas/c7/m4 all about evenly amazing.
few others too, I quite like the p416

[dusk vortex]

P416 is kinda good for CQC ing

[inner tendon]

It makes a decent FMJ AR too, basically any of the AR's with a similar fire-rate work fine.

[oak talon]

p416 just isnt great, it got left behind when the ar buffs happened and it got one of the lowest increases

to compare, the carbine7 does the same base dmg with 40 rpm more, at only the loss of 0.1 reload, once you factor in fast hands it doesnt even compete

[inner tendon]

See, this is why I don't normally bring this stuff up.
We aren't talking about the peak meta stat-hogs, just a fun gun to use.

the p416 is a fun gun to use, it works fine, and isn't going to knee-cap a Heroic build.

[modern sparrow]

if i want to get exotic from raid i must play it on normal difficulty?

[oak talon]

and see, this is why me and other correct you so much, as stuff said here gets seen as advice, and personally i try to atleast steer it towards beign based in facts, so people dont go out of here with the idea that something like a p416 or dark winter is a good choice

[narrow kraken]

whats up with those evil nutcrackers everywhere? in new york

[inner tendon]

"so much"

[storm river]

christmas

[dusk vortex]

tbh i don't like how my carb7 handles in CQC lol

[oak talon]

yes, the raid locked items(exotic drops and project, and blueprints) are only from normal difficulty, discovery doesnt give them

[upbeat rock]

darkwinter good choice, p416 decent choice, with appropriate build any weapon can be more than capable in pve, just depend on your playstyle

[oak talon]

you can use anything you want, recommending it to others opens you up to factchecking, and then stuff like dw and p416 are just mediocre at best, and there are obvious better choices.
as when you just let people claim anything they want, you end up with this place beign no better then YT with people recommending bad choices and not being called out for it

[modern sparrow]

Man i recieved some exotic gems in open world & summit

What are they used for?

[steady terrace]

😆

[twin forum]

Pesti best gun

[oak talon]

the parts you have picked up already will also show up in your recourses tab at the bottom of the materials section, you can see what they are and if you google search the name it will say what the part is for.

[upbeat rock]

factchecking...haha, a bloody game where u can build anything like a lego

[twin forum]

I had friends that were playing with p416 only, i personally dont like that gun, my favs r mk16, m4, Carb7, famas
Tho, i dont have good famas, besides burn out

[upbeat rock]

if you like it, then it's your best gun

nothing to factcheck lol

[twin forum]

I barely play it, in heroic i dont see a point, in legy its nice

[oak talon]

good for you that you have no standards, but bad advice will get called out, if you believe there is nothing to base off of facts here, go make some clickbait YT builds then, see how that works for you,
for example if you believe that dark winter is a good choice,
i would love to hear you put some arguments to that claim, as here are some against it, while it is top burst, even with a fast hands talent you will be better off with a vector 45 over perf killer talent, and a mpx with fast hands will eat it for breakfast

[pulsar latch]

Quick help please, I've played D2 before finished main campaign, why does it say to start over? 🧐

[upbeat rock]

no need to slander me with " no standard". you don't know my stat

[twin forum]

Everyone with their likings, i dislike vector as aehole, but wont mind playing sbr 9mm

The one with biggrt mag

[pulsar latch]

Lads can anyone enlighten me, did I lose my character? :"(

[oak talon]

i know your claims, as you made them already, and then you claim there is no objectivity to be had with stats, a claim that is so bad that you made me actually face palm

[upbeat rock]

Darkwinter is a good weapon

[oak talon]

choose either option, and it should fix itself and show your character screen after, its abug that comes up from time to time

[pulsar latch]

Did it, thank you so much!

[oak talon]

you have any arguments to go with that, thats what i asked you for, not to restate your claim

[rocky bone]

what kinda build works well in a group?
Solo I run sharpshooter but I don't think that works too well in a group

[upbeat rock]

dont' use darkwinter in sharpshooter

[steady terrace]

It works but u steal all your group kills 🤣

[rocky bone]

darkwinter? what's that

[upbeat rock]

named smg

[rocky bone]

who would run an smg in sharpshooter

[upbeat rock]

not me

[rocky bone]

you're assuming I have good aim

[steady terrace]

Run mantis automatically marks head for you

[oak talon]

common red chc/chd builds with ARs are the go to for most, you can also go stuff like HF, HB or ND gearsets as general dmg builds, and fire eclipse is also great for heroic matchmaking if you get decent with it.

there is guides to all of those builds in the pinned spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice

[twin forum]

Skill build ftw

Deploy turret, let drone w/e it wants, go into cover, go watch something

[pliant wharf]

exactly why i dont enjoy skill builds

i play the game to play a tactical-ish shooter. you know.. have a gun, shoot things with it, etc

i wish i could 'git gud' enough to really master HF. it is so fun. then im on the ground...

[twin forum]

Add capacitator, now u can shoot too

[pliant wharf]

to each their own i guess is what it comes down to. what is nice is that so many builds and playstyles work

[twin forum]

Jokes aside, skill builds r rly decent for both solo and with a group

I enjoy my hard wired cluster spam with oxydizer while in a heroic 4man group

[pliant wharf]

i know. they work well, aside from mortars and fire clouds messing with your team

i am slowly keeping enough parts to build the meta yellow

empr/hanu/wyv

[twin forum]

Hybrid builds r also pretty nice for both solo and group

Ye, thats the one im talking about

Tho im using waveform instead of wyvern

[pliant wharf]

once i build it, ill give it a fair shake. though in all hoenstly, i enjoy shooting in my shooters, adn my 4 man sorta relies on my DPS-flanker which pidgeon holes me a bit

mostly i run nego spotter/ar

[twin forum]

U can always shoot as much as u want with capa, but ye, i get what u wanna say

I like shooting with my pesti in legy missions, even tho 1 bullet/drone is enough for me to say goodbye

[rocky bone]

so uh

a friend wanted to play with me so he joined, now the world is scaled to elvel 38 while this char is like level 16
should i just send him away? xD

[twin forum]

U will still level up

U r just scaled to their lvl

[rocky bone]

I on't think i am

I am still level 16, with like 10k armor

the missions are 38

[twin forum]

U should be scaled, thats how it was working before

[rocky bone]

according to him I should be boosted to lv 23

which, with level 38 missions, is like

[oak talon]

the worlds levels to scale to the lvl of the highest player, the other players get their lvl and more importantly stats scaled to -2 lvl, so they can compete, they wont be at a major disatvangtage

[rocky bone]

uh
yea

[oak talon]

and you receive xp and such still as the lvl 40 player, but its on story mode so the completion rewards are minor compared to what you would have at 40 on heroics

[fast goblet]

How is Ravenous and Eagle Bearer? I'm not big into raids, but I want to know if they worth the farm

[twin forum]

Eb is fine if u can hs

Ravenous seems mainly pve and i personally dont rly like it

[fast goblet]

Alright, thank you

Also, can I start Regicide project after Discovery level raid? Or Normal only?

[twin forum]

If u dont rly care about the raid itself, get decent build and try to join raid group here in this discord, tell them u never did those and u dont know a stuff and bam, u become security, the door guard

Just to finish the raid for the loot its good enough, unless u want to learn how other rokes work and etc

Door guard is ez, whatever comes out must die

[fast goblet]

Thank you both, door guard sounds good!

[twin forum]

Full red asaauslt rifle build should do the trick for both raids

Tho i personally did ih with hunter's fury

[fast goblet]

Sweet, I think I have what I need for that build

[supple bane]

are custom crosshairs against tos?

[rocky bone]

What's a good idea for a "Chad" build in this game

I was thinking anything tanky with the gunner spec qualifies

[gusty agate]

I have question, when iw as about go to decript 3th part of Lao files Kelso was not in her place and i was unable to access it. Now i compliten while manhunt but still i miss that one file from colection. Do i need to reset manhunt or something?

[karmic harbor]

elaborate

you can be a chad by completing legendary missions with a rainbow class build

I guess you could call that a chad build

[rocky bone]

just think of a steretypical chad

you could say I want to go for a meme

[karmic harbor]

rainbow build

Blue mask yellow chest exotic backpack green knees grey gloves

have nothing make sense

use a healer trap and a demolisher drone

[thin path]

Ubisoft I have questions...

[narrow matrix]

It adds 0.0% range which is more than what you had to begin with

[oak talon]

you have to do the final manhunt mission twice to get all 3 audio files for that mission, you only get 2 on your first completion, and you will get the thirds on your second run,
you can just toggle JTC to manhunt to redo it once you have it unlocked, no need to redo the whole manhunt, difficulty doesnt matter

[burnt pine]

What's the max limit on CHD?

[thin path]

N/A

or you mean the theoretical max given how much we can equip?

[burnt pine]

Like IIRC CHC is 60%

And you can't go more than that.

[thin path]

correct

[burnt pine]

Is there a similar percent for CHD?

[thin path]

no

[burnt pine]

Great, thanks

[gusty agate]

so just replay manhunt and do final one?

[whole aspen]

why are us agents the only ones who have to deal with the turret overheating?

[inner tendon]

I don't believe they officially are, but it's more like a "use at your own risk, because they might be tomorrow" kinda thing.

[karmic harbor]

actually yeha what is it?

[cedar tide]

I asked this before and Raucey estimated over 430% CHD, including Backfire at full stack.

[thin path]

tbh I don't know...though it's probably easy enough to figure out based on weapon mods and attributes/gear mods and gun type

technically you can have 3 on a mask and 2 on every other piece of gear, 10% from watch, and then gun mods and primary attributes on (I think) rifles...plus the base 50% (I think) makes it 14*12% (assuming all are max) + 50 + 10 + (i think) 15 for gun mods?

so 255?

assuming no talents or anything else being active from gun/chest/backpack or brand sets

7 mods assuming chill out mask and you can assume sokolov 15%...wait nevermind not if using coyote cuz 3 improvised

[karmic harbor]

coyote gives you more than chill out

in this scenario

[whole aspen]

best high end AR?

[karmic harbor]

famas, c7 and m4 are a lot of people's top weapons

[rocky bone]

anydownside to the crafted replica weapons?

[fair bone]

if I start matchmaking for Open World roaming, shouldn't it send me an invite to join people in the same neighborhood?

[supple swift]

usually crappy rolls.
better to farm them unless you have a ton of optimization mats or watch points

[inner tendon]

Outside of what GED' said, literally identical stats.

[whole aspen]

best place to farm max stat mods?

[narrow kraken]

Wheres the best place to get memento?

[thin path]

countdown

is the best place to farm literally anything in the game right now

[rocky bone]

What was the name of that rifle that had damage comparable to that of a marksman rifle? I think it had a western repeater look. Might be interesting to try and use it with a shield or sth

[narrow kraken]

I thought that but ive been grinding count down for a few days now with literally no drops lol

[pliant wharf]

[rocky bone]

Ty

[rocky bone]

You put your aimed loot to gear mods?

[narrow kraken]

No its on backpacks

[rocky bone]

Ah my bad, I mistook you for someone else

Maybe run it with the brand set instead

Don't know how many backpacks there are

[rustic dawn]

is the proficiency stuff bugged? cause it says there is no upgrade available for a gear set and a gun i have

[thin path]

i got a memento and multiple acostas in like 3 or 4 runs you sure you have it set to backpacks?

[rustic dawn]

that makes sense. thanks

[narrow kraken]

Yeah its definitely on backpack because i have like 50 on me rn

[thin path]

sounds like really bad rng then

if you have friends ask them to run it with you and put it on backpacks as well you can trade items that drop

if you're on PC i can help

[narrow kraken]

Unfortunately im on xbox

[thin path]

oh ya theres the symbol duh

[narrow kraken]

Where in countdown has the highest drop rate?

[storm river]

the hunters and named enemies

[thin path]

all of it? what do you mean? like which mission type? vip is the longest but usually drops the most stuff

[storm river]

i think its 3% to get an exo from them

[narrow kraken]

Ah alright thanks guys

[whole aspen]

ok thanks

[narrow kraken]

Does global directives/global difficulty affect countdown drop rates?

[supple swift]

N O

[storm river]

does ridgeways drop open world after getting it through project

[icy finch]

anyone know how i can get the typical headhunter build with regulus on a lvl 30 character

i want to use the build to boost characters through ny solo

[whole aspen]

anyone know what the stats for mechanical animal are?

[modern sparrow]

Does difficulty increase loots in bounty?

I want that stuff to optimize my gear its only drop from named enemies

I mean the difficulty of the world not the bounty 😅

[whole aspen]

yeah it does

[oak talon]

the difficulty once you enter the bounty zone is set by the bounty difficulty, you can do a hard bounty with world on heroic for instance, and the loot will be hard quality from the enemies from the bounty,

also the other way round works, its even recommended to set world difficulty low if you are going trough a bunch of saved bounties, as random enemies along the route and that may be inside the the bounty area, will be low difficulty and you still get heroic rewards from the heroic bounty enemies,

[karmic harbor]

does the artificer do anything to defender drones?

[whole aspen]

is the time remaining on a bounty the time you have to get there or the time you have to beat the bounty?

[whole aspen]

according to reddit it restores some of the defender drone's duration :o

[storm river]

to get there

[whole aspen]

ok thanks :)

[supple bane]

ah ok

is ravenous viable in heroic, raids, summit, countdown etc etc?

[molten jetty]

ravenous is viable in....well.....raids

as well as those wacky sniper-ravenous-D50 headshot build

i mean, rav is the one the tank need to use if he is staying in the furnace as well as to stagger the gas blast wipe of the IH boss 2 ,as well as the stagger tank's good weapon for final boss, and also the weapon used for the one-shot build for razorback in DH

[whole aspen]

what kind of attachments do people put on assault rifles?

[supple swift]

mostly crit chance mods since its better to stack maxed out crit damage on the gear and gear mods. tech laser too due to spotter/hb

[whole aspen]

ok thanks

[pliant wharf]

I like biggest mag I can put as well

[molten jetty]

tbh, bigger mag is not really a bad choice with stuff like the FAL's low mag and high ROF

[whole aspen]

yeah I gotta get more magazine mods but idk about this burn build so far :s it seems like without vile mask its kinda meh for damage

[sullen sigil]

am i unlucky or did i need to get the scorpio from the reward track when it was first released for it to be added to the general drop pool (i’ve gotten 3 sweet dreams so far )

[true siren]

just unlucky

[inner tendon]

Vile is real good.

[severe sparrow]

[twilit otter]

Reward for one of the summit commendations. I think it's the summit headhunter patch.

[pulsar latch]

Wondering, if me level 35 that wants to help my gf out that's just starting level 1, will me joining make her gameplay harder?

[fallen spindle]

the game will scale her up to 1 level below yours, so she will still have decent dmg output, she will be ok

[pulsar latch]

Thank you! I was hoping I wouldn't mess up her experience (:

Got a other question, since I started New York dlc, can I not help her until I finish the dlc?

[whole aspen]

Yeah ur locked into new york

[fallen spindle]

that is correct. you are bound to NYC till you kill keener

[pulsar latch]

That's harsh but kinda engaging, thank you lads!

[fallen spindle]

prolly because it fits the story. you're done in DC, so time to clean up NYC. no reason for you to leave ig🤔

[pulsar latch]

True, even if it wasn't the story I like that, pretty immersive

[rocky bone]

How long will the recent manhunt still be going?

[dusk vortex]

Till the end of the year i think?

But normally once the 4th GE ends the new season would start after

Since this season they included other GEs into the rotation and plus it's a new lore too at that

[molten jetty]

the one with the pissed off looking captain ? till next month i think

[whole aspen]

what difficulty can a burn build do solo?

[supple swift]

heroic

[whole aspen]

thanks :o I really suck 😅 I can't even solo CP 3s let alone challenging difficulty altogether guess I really do need to try farming for vile mask :s

[supple swift]

best way to learn is through adversity
if you dont have vile yet you can slap on a wyvern/hana-u or a contractors with status FX for the meantime

[whole aspen]

yeah I'll probably do that :o thanks I'm gonna try farming countdown for vile. I think my main problem is I don't have any situational awareness tbh

[cedar tide]

If you adjust your in-game FOV settings, it might help improve your environmental awareness.

You could see enemies rush you from what would be your blind spots at default FOV. You could react quickly to things in time.

[supple swift]

you can also move your in game radar (provided no map directive not active) to somewhere more visible

[cedar tide]

Enlarging the radar map works as long as Fog of War doesn't ruin it 😂

[whole aspen]

oh where are the FOV settings?

[cedar tide]

I think it's Settings > Gameplay > Field of View

I play with max FOV on mine because my eyes like to sweat

[whole aspen]

I have it maxed out I think I just gotta stop tunnel vision :o

[modern sparrow]

my world is out of hyenas bounty i need more resources for optimization

how i can find named hyenas enemy?

[pulsar latch]

Is the eclipse protocol set hard to get? I've just started the NY dlc, 44% through it

[modern sparrow]

no its easy, once you finished NYC you can go to CountDown and targeted loot eclipse protocol

and get it

[cedar tide]

It takes time, and it might feel awkward with max FOV settings.

[cedar tide]

I think heroic Hyena control points spawn named elites.

[modern sparrow]

oh how did i forget the CP

thanks man

[whole aspen]

I'd watch out though idk if you'll have the same experience but every time I've done a CP 4 there's been a elite resource convoy :s

[cedar tide]

Ah, that's what we call bad luck.
One time, I was clearing a CP4 when an Elite Resource Convoy and an Elite Patrol converged at the same CP. That was fun

Well, it was actually worth the loot and XP, so I really shouldn't complain. It took me by surprise though.

[whole aspen]

i guess it could be worse could always have a elite resource convoy plus a marauder and rogue agents :s

[pliant wharf]

for the hyena tactical assessments, they wont drop from CP named. last boss of hyena missions or last boss of hyena bounties. higher difficult gets more resources (challenging gives 3)

[rocky bone]

I made a secondary char just to experience the world tier progression story. How does progression work in world tiers?

[tulip fiber]

Do the two invaded missions tied to the stronghold. Finish the stronghold to upgrade world tier. Once Tidal is done, you’ll be at WT5

[narrow kraken]

Rinse and repeat same set of missions just with increasing gear score req.

[storm river]

Control points always spawn 2

[twin forum]

What about the rogues?

[inner tendon]

They'll show up after the CP is cleared but before it's claimed, and can show up at pretty much any difficulty.
The only plus side is that soloing CP4's makes it easier, since that means only 2 Rogues.

[storm river]

(Rogue count is always group size +1)

[twin forum]

Ye, i just asked them where r the rogues

I loved when all of this happens in NY and when u think u r finally done - rogues!

[sacred sigil]

about sleipnir. since it's craft-only, it always has terrible stats, right?

so if you want to make it decent, you'll need over a dozen of optimization passes.

[oak talon]

likely, you can craft a bunch, and see which one comes out best, alteast with a perfect talent you can use the recal on one of the stats guaranteed, so it less bad than other crafted gear

[storm river]

Or get lucky

[sacred sigil]

unfortunately, each attempt takes a bunch of steel, which is already one of the most precious resources around.

[wicked junco]

I just picked up a Yaahl gear with a good crit roll in the dark zone and there are about a dozen people rogue-ing on each other. Do I keep the contaminated gear if I close the game and just log back on to extract when all of China are already in bed?

[storm river]

No

If people are Fighting they typically wont bother going after some random extract, especially If you run far enough away, so dw about that

[ashen egret]

What is the global event?

[storm river]

Don’t think one is active rn

[ashen egret]

There isn’t but what is it and how do I check when it’s active

[storm river]

In the seasons tab from the pause menu

[ashen egret]

[fast goblet]

What Exotics cannot drop in Countdown except from raid exclusives?

[narrow kraken]

Bighorn, all quest ones until you completed those

[supple swift]

apparently a lot based on a lot of people complaining lol

[narrow kraken]

Also not sure about acosta since by nature it come out of key boxes, dunno if you need to get it there first

[fast goblet]

Can Petsilence drop in CD?

[steady terrace]

Ninja bike also drops in LZ now

[oak talon]

both pesti and ninja knees are general loot pool, and have been for a long time

[narrow kraken]

Well new to me....

[oak talon]

and as anybody who has ever farmed backpacks TL for memento will tell you, so is acosta

[twin forum]

😂

[storm river]

Ive gotten acosta from cd i think

[twin forum]

Even if u dont farm for memento, that acosta backpack just like to drop a lot lmao

[storm river]

Dude i think my record for exos in a row is 5 pests. And that was running dz without lmg targeted

Pest is everywhere

[pliant wharf]

i get BTSU gloves constantly.. and of course have 0 interest in a build to use them

[oak talon]

dz is both general(/lz)loot pool and on top of that the dz loot pool, if something is in general it can and will drop in dz, so i was not saying it wont drop in the dz, it even will drop at a higher rate than in lz as its a specific drop for nameds in the dz aswell.

Can drop from a named enemy in any dark zone.

1% for non landmark named enemies.
1% for normal landmark named enemies.
2% for hard landmark named enemies.
3% for challening landmark named enemies.
3% for heroic landmark named enemies.

[rocky bone]

what's a good talent to have on an AR?

I loive the M4 if that has any importance
it actually has fast hands but my crit chance isn't really too high

[storm river]

I know

[rocky bone]

chc/chd?

ah

[cedar tide]

Wasn't there a time when Killer was a viable talent for ARs?

[oak talon]

depends on your definition of viable,
its a mid tier talent, once you actually take a good look at gameplay and see how often its active in a useful spot/time, it just becomes clear that there are better options

for every time you get it on the first guy of door spawn and mow down a whole group, there is dozens of times where you dont get the kills and then it procs on the last alive guy and nothing spawns after.

[cedar tide]

It is insanely inconsistent, I feel like. But I have a Police M4 with Killer slapped on it and I just use it once in a while for a change of pace.

I wouldn't recommend Killer on an AR to a friend, tbh though. I'm still favouring Fast Hands over everything, except Flatline on pulse builds.

[storm river]

And sadist with ridgeways

[cedar tide]

When I use Ridgeway's, I use SMGs instead. I've never thought of using ARs with Sadist at all 😂

[foggy barn]

Perfect clutch a dz drop?

[oak talon]

devils due, the perfect clutch ceska backpack is a dz/pvp item, yeah

[foggy barn]

Thanks

[severe sparrow]

Just got it today. Kinda buggy but managed to pull through.

[ashen egret]

Why does it say I haven’t done the raids (0/4) bosses looted when I have? Is that a known bug or something

[hard quail]

it reset's weekly

if you did this week it will be 4/4

[ashen egret]

I defo did it this week I’m sure

[oak talon]

just to check was it on discovery?

[ashen egret]

Nope

[oak talon]

when was the raid you did?

just to clarify, dont believe there is any bugs with it showing wrong data, i dont check it often, but it would have popped up more often if it showed wrong info

yeah, checked it aswell, it does show 0/4 on a char i did do a raid this reset, so i stand corrected

are the actual checkpoints bugged aswell then? or is it visual?

havent ran into it as i am never in a raid in that used checkpoints, its always a run in one go

[ionic wharf]

my fav talents are measured, near sighted on specific guns and breadbasket

breadbasket just seems to op imo

[rocky bone]

I uh, I think i messed this up?
gotta wait till the mission reopens to try again right?

[narrow matrix]

Rifles or ARs?

I always considered using it but was told there were better options

[ionic wharf]

ars

just in my personal opinion due to how shaky my aim is, basically a 99% chance i hit 3 consecutive body shots from bullet spread or my terrible aim which results in like 120 extra headshot damage

[oak talon]

measured is pretty bad as a dmg talent, if you like the rpm to just go brrrrrrt thats fine, but its outclassed by almost all the other dmg talents when it comes to actually dealing dmg.

and the downside to breadbasket comes from you having to do those three shots to get the bonus up, and 120 headshot isnt going to be great on builds that already have 80 or 95 hsd and are crit based, like a normal red,

in those 3 shots you could have had ranger or boomerang do about the same, and especially if you dont keep up the 3 shots body followed by a head, if you are jsut scatter shotting, it will fall behind other talents way quickly

[rocky bone]

I recommend running marksman rifles for a while if your aim is off
Your aim probably won't get better, but the high numbers if you consistently headshot have a way of getting you hooked

So it will make you want to be better

[tame forge]

2 boys out to play Roosevelt Island on Legendary?

[rocky bone]

You're looking for #lfg-pc

for almost all at based builds i have i run headshot damage

around %190ish. measured is also for my ar pvp builds

[rocky bone]

Does any madman actually run a Sharpshooter build in the DZ? How's that even work with the more aggressive and rushy shield people going around being rogue

[summer barn]

I admit I'm a bit ...new to this event...is there a weapon I should be using to cause..emp damage? or am i just supposed to use grenades per se

[whole parcel]

guys how do i check invasion timer ? like when will the next invasion be ?

[dusk vortex]

it resets every tuesday early morning US time

it's in the world map iirc

[oak talon]

its 10 cet, its the same time as the targeted loot reset on Tuesdays, you can see when that is for you when you view targeted loot on the map, at the bottom it states time till daily reset

[oak talon]

explosives builds are the way to go for this event, if you want to run a red, ravenous is a decent way to trigger it if you have access to one

[oak talon]

using breadbasket in a headshot build doesnt make it better, but only worse, as you are making it give worse diminishing returns per point increase, my point was that 80-95 was already too much to make another 120 worth it,
and measured doesnt suddenly become a ok talent in pvp, its still just as bad there aswell

[ionic wharf]

we all have our own ways that works for us :)

[calm venture]

How can i get global event currency?

[sacred sigil]

what do you guys think about current event? i don't quite grasp its' point so far.

like two previous events were weird, but they granted a significant boon when used properly.

this one doesn't do anything beneficial? or if it does, i haven't found out what.

[supple swift]

[shy tendon]

ok thanks

[sacred sigil]

event enemies seem to drop tons of special wep ammo, so using it looks preferrable. but damn it's so clunky.

still haven't found a good solo solution for this event, ideally like pop 1 button and go.

jammer pulse is the closest to it.

but for HF both skill buttons are already well occupied.

[modern sparrow]

Why does people go crazy when they defeat other people with high expertise gear

[jaunty dust]

i barely outdamage a HF person with HB shotgun only

hmmm

[whole aspen]

im not really sure but I think it's simply the excitement of having a build work out and the satisfaction from winning.

[mellow marlin]

How do i make a ticket

[feral bronze]

is their a bug wear im wearing negotier all day yet game is leveling my strikers ffs

and mobs on hard are melting my team yet herioc we can dance in front and melt them

[fallow inlet]

Hey Isabel,

[calm venture]

Which item worth to buy in shop ?

[storm river]

Harmony in one of the dz shops unless it cycled again

[fast goblet]

It cycled

Is rock n' roll worth the purchase?

[karmic harbor]

probably, it's not hard to get

just run around in the DZ collecting dz resource and extract when you like

it's more time consuming than hard

[modern sparrow]

If i played raid dark hours and play it again after few days will i have to collect the keys again?

[acoustic lark]

does anyone know if there will be a way to obtain missed collectibles from previous manhunts other than waiting for a rerun in some months/years?

[loud saddle]

currently there is no way to obtain the minor target collectibles. you can earn collectibles from the final/main target via replaying the final mission that you earn via the season rewards track.

only way to currently obtain the minor target collectibles is to wait for a possible rerun. or if they change how they're obtained shrugs

[acoustic lark]

how do i obtain the final mission via season rewards track?

[loud saddle]

they're unlocked at certain levels within the season rewards track. I think first one start at like level 50 soemthing, there are 4 mission to unlock

[sudden lark]

to aquire the nemesis sniper do all the missions have to be invaded?

[acoustic lark]

oh okey, im good then.

i believe there is a collectible subset called langley reports. i missed this one but probably unlocked the last mission of the manhunt it was part of. do u happen to know which manhunt it was from / if it was indeed from the last mission which would mean i can replay the mission and get these reports at last

[loud saddle]

the langley reports is from camp white oak

it's not like the other comms tho that usually come from boss kills, this is a pickup within the mission, easily missed

[acoustic lark]

so camp white oak, then mission mode and camp white oak: faye lau? might get a youtube guide going alongside cause these r like 10 reports or so

[loud saddle]

it's all one single pickup

the 10 are clumped as one

[acoustic lark]

oh, thats great. thanks!

[loud saddle]

np mate, anytime

[acoustic lark]

oh, i just saw in the youtube video this manhunt with faye lau also dropped the achilles pulse. do i also get it from camp white oak?

[loud saddle]

yeah

all the skills earned from the previous manhunts are earned in the final missions, some really early in the mission too

[acoustic lark]

alright, thx

[karmic harbor]

what do you mean by that

because the way raid keys work is that every tuesday (in most places) the loot and key boxes reset

and if you use the keys they are removed from your inventory

so if you did a raid for the first time since let's say Tuesday 21st you can collect the keys

but if you did it on Wednesday - Monday there'd be nothing to collect

so the only way to collect keys in the mean time is to kill the final boss which drops 1

[tulip fiber]

If you have 4 characters, you can collect the key boxes from those characters as well. Each character can hold 15 keys

[karmic harbor]

[acoustic lark]

found this on reddit regarding missing call logs from another manhunt:

"Go to Coney Island and cycle through the missions--regular, invaded, manhunt. Choose manhunt and run the mission as many times as you need the call logs. In my case, I was missing three of them, so I had to run it 3x."

does this mean when i am missing lets say 7 call logs from older manhunts i "just" have to play the final manhunt mission of that manhunt season as many times as I have missing call logs?

[loud saddle]

AFAIK you still can't obtain the smaller minor target comms that way unless it was change sometime. I know the final missions usually have 3-4 comms tied to them tho and almost always require running them at least twice to obtain them all. can't remember if I needed 3x for coney or not but I know I had to run all of them at least twice to get all the comms

[inner tendon]

I was actively playing during the initial run of Season 3 (Coney Island AP Manhunt) and I distinctly recall having to run the final mission 3x as well. That was to only obtain the Comms from the actual mission itself.
So it's almost certain that you can't obtain the comms from the build-up to it, unless as Kirra said, something has been changed very recently.

[dim crag]

Does the Tactician drone somehow hurt my team if it gets hacked in CD?

[acoustic lark]

the tip from reddit actually works. final manhunt missions drop 1 call log after killing last boss

now i am missing only 2 more which means i have to replay the mission 2 more times

[acoustic lark]

oh okey, at least i get all comms from that mission

[fair bone]

daily requires to run an invaded stronghold. That requires completing a few mission requirements or am I missing something?

[rocky bone]

Why did they have to reset the outpost statuses between each world tier advancement

At this point I don't even bother anymore

I play World tiers for the Black tusk story

And I still have no explanation of why Ellis hooked up with black tusk, when he did that, and how we found out that he even did

Why

Last I checked I just saw fireworks and then a cinematic view of the city taken over again

[fair bone]

what's the weak point of the shielded enemies in this event?

only explosives (including hives)?

ohh jammer will disable their shield?

I wish the events were explained in more detail ingame

keep going a little further, at the start of world tier 4 this kind of stuff comes up.

why do i get an infinite loading screen whenever i start the game (PS4)

[rocky bone]

Because the game is coded very badly
At least that's what I believe sometimes when that happens
Really I have no idea

[narrow kraken]

how do u fix it tho?

[rocky bone]

I don't
I just hope and pray

[narrow kraken]

how did they break this game so bad i never even encountered this bug on launch

[narrow kraken]

on division 1 i always waited 15 minutes on loading screen back on console, i'm sure that's just a console issue

But...atleast be glad you're not crashing ._.

There's no need to post the same question in multiple channels. Just post it in one (the correct one) and be patient.

[odd scarab]

@bronze berry Is the firewall flamethrower bugging out more than usual in this GE?

so I get the red armour through... luck?

[twilit otter]

Did you try reinstalling the game?

[modern sparrow]

does steel number increase when i farm it at high world difficulty?

and all activities of true sons drop it right?

[sacred sigil]

you get a tiny bit from activities, but the most reliable way of farming it is running around solar farm daily.

there are over a hundred resource boxes strewn on the ground there, yielding thousands of common resources per run.

it's still a chore, but a reasonably peaceful one.

and takes like 15 min.

expertise is a bit tricky. you have an account-wide expertise level, that consists of all the different brands and firearm models you've became proficient at.

you can't upgrade a piece above that level.

the idea is that you should use other stuff (or sacrifice unneeded pieces) to raise their proficiency, and with it, an expertise cap. so that eventually you'll be able to upgrade the pieces that you like even higher.

but it's a slow process with small benefits, you shouldn't rush it.

sacrifice unneeded piece or sacrifice the same excact gear?

[sacred sigil]

there are three ways of farming prof:

1. using the specific brand, set, or model.
2. sacrificing junk of that brand, set or model in expertise screen on the workbench (button "donate all junk" below)
3. manually sacrificing materials for a specific category which you definitely won't find or use.

so basically you just play as usual, pick up as junk what you don't need, then go to the bench and press "donate all junk". it'll automatically select the sort of junk that can still be learned from, and leave the rest for you.

I don't understand how to deal with tanks yet, even after like 60hrs in the game
For some it seems I have to focus a weak point in the back to break it, others just seem to be "keep shooting a specific armor part till it breaks"

Which is annoying on a sniper build
But less so on my AR build

If the tank (or in my words, heavy) has an explosive weakpoint go for those and their armor will be very damaged by the end

If they have ammo belts, destroy it then wither their armor, repear until broken off or dead

For snipers have a full HH on nemesis ready, then 2 tap them directly on their head

~52m to the head will instantly shatter then helmet and the next shot on the head will do more than enough to kill the heavy

nemesis or tac50 special.

rather tac50 than nemesis because no charge time on that boy
