also thats for legendary summit. Legendary strongholds are a different beast (requires even more knowledge if you plan to solo them)
i meant for the weekly
if you plan to solo it, then what i said above, if you plan to group it, then my 1st message about solo heroics is ideal.
ok, ty!
for the weekly make a cookie cutter skill build, drone + turret, matchmake and faceroll.
it's easy and fun.
ok, are there any builds that just like arent viable at all
bc im running a true patriot build with the striker shield and the chameleon and it feels pretty good
but im not really sure what good looks like lol
What do raids give you
three raid-exclusive exotics.
eagle bearer, ravenous and regulus.
each one powerful and valuable in its' own right.
^
+Blueprints for a few Gearsets, a few exclusive cosmetics, and a habit of having YouTube guides open on your tabbed out browser.
Backpack trophies as well. Raid commendations
are the invaded heroics harder?
Just a different Faction, so if you find Black Tusk harder than non-BT Heroics, then yes.
ok
i want to liek the chamelion because i love how it shoots... but it takes alot to build and keep it stacked enough to really be better than other ARs. consider any of the 3 stacks individually, and compare to jsut running obliterate on a chest for example...in real gameplay use-case
obliterate is gonna stack up as fast or faster.
thats just an exampel to demostrate why its just not that good
if they cut the stacks required in half.. omg.
Chameleon with just the body buff, out dps all the ARs.
Also it plays like a SMG, so compare it to smgs, not ARs
Also obliterate is a chest talent so doesn't hinder Charmeleon talent, as they are different locations
ok good point apples to apples.
point is.. keepign it stacked isnt always easy or reliable
Chest perk very easy to keep stacked
so if you play your ar like an SMG and if you ignore stacking 2/3 of the guns abilites, and if your build has armor cores to make 90% weapon damge truly advantageous...
is that 90% an amp?
no its never an amp, because its still additive with its self.
ok. that was my guess. so it woudl benefit the most with some armor cores
or.. on a buidl with some armor cores
also you want to focus on stacking the chest perk 1st then head perk. knee perk can be ignored tbh.
Specialization Overhaul when? That's the only thing I'm waiting for to come back to Div2. They teased it in an intelligence annex and then never spoke about it again. It isn't even on their roadmap... any clues as to whether or not they're still going to do it?
er well you still want to build like other CQB builds (so 0-3 blues max, rest red) IMHO sweet spot is 2 blues,
im finding i like 2 blues more than 3 as well.. so.. aside from loosing out on the armor set bonus.. chameleon on HF might work
They mentioned its absence recently: it's still being worked upon and is unlikely to appear this year
its ETA is "Specialization Overhaul is delayed for a later update" no exact date has been given yet.
i guess i could give that a try. i dont think ive tried it with HF
i do enjoy shootign it
Well at least it's still being worked on. Thanks for the info. Guess I'll check back next year lol
was it like August 8 or was that something else
August 9th, Tuesday
hey Saph
It’s more of an issue on summit cause you lose the stacks per floor clear and if you’re clearing floors fast it can be annoying but missions and raids I imagine it would hold up pretty well to keep stacks
Okay so @oak talon and @narrow matrix it did fix itself upon selecting wony (wasn't about to risk starting at lvl 1 again lol) thank you guys for helping out!
Can lady death drop from countdown? (:
Can the regulus parts drop anyday of the week or just reset day (Tuesday)?
@tropic saffron anyday aslong as its reset since you turned in the last project.
Oh okay thanks 🙏
the things that are affected by the tuesday thing are the keys and boss loot drops
Quick question, you can kill Deceit atm?
Yes. Do the Schaeffer Coney Island manhunt mission
yeah
Okay, seems like i have to grind a little
how many bosses are on summit fl20?
2 i think
damn
Inst just 1 on fl20?
idk could be 1 ye but not sure
ty i'll check
i think there is an option in lobby to show the challenge scaling or whatever isnt there? i forget the naem of the option.
is there a way to replay strongholds
kinda new to the game and i want to reach world tier five
and just noticed that specialization missions require to do activities in missions and strongholds
to reach wt5 you just gotta do the few missions and then the stronghold tied to those missions, it will automatically progress you as you complete the strongholds.
after a certain point you will be able to take part in the weekly "invaded missions/strongholds" that happen through-out DC. but only a select few missions and strongholds are invaded per week.
is it normal that my game crashes every 15 minutes?
Hi folks. Couple of questions regarding the Countdown mode. I'm coming back to the game after a break of a year.
-
Is there a decent YouTube video explaining how the mode works and the main objectives, etc.
-
How do I select my preferred loot drops for Countdown? It seems to be picking up what I last chose in Summit
-
During the 3-4 matchmade Countdown missions I did, all of them had members saying "Skip VIP" in the chat. Why does that objective suck that people want to skip it?
Haven’t YT’d videos, but I’m sure there’s some. On the map, hover over it to select the target loot option, like Summit. VIP objective takes a long time to complete
i see
PC is currently having some stability issues that are supposed to be addressed in an update next week.
@loud saddle good to hear that, thanks for the info
Is there a gun with high dmg to armor on it’s stat?
they're called shotguns
exception is the capacitor AR
yay shotguns. on a CQC build i still end up carrying an SMG just because in a pinch you can still land aimed shots at 25 meters.. but up close.. i really like shottys. i would really like a center pip on the site though.
well in reality id love sites to actually be modelled like in GR games but...thats a whole other topic )
Yea but i assume there’s gotta be a named item with more dmg to armor than shotguns
none. its only shotguns and the capcitor
Ty
I don't know, did not need any video to play it 🙂
To select loot, easiest is in white house. Select Countdown in map mode, then press for long time H. (PC version). Then you can choose whatever you want.
VIP sucks, cause it is least predictable in terms of time consumption. I saw experienced players doing it like regular encounter (up to 3 mins max), but these were huge minority (less then 5% games with VIP I dare to say). Usually (like 75% games with VIP) it can take up to 6-7 minutes. Within such time, you can easily make any other two encounters, which is enough to proceed with main goal.
yep. if the team is going to VIP, may as well go with, but if you find yourself in a buncha peopel standing around confused, head toward [not the VIP] to keep things moving
There generally enough time to spare that it doesn't matter too much, unless it's a very weak team or one obsessed with getting through it as quickly as possible
i figure better safe than sorry but.. if the team is going VIP i go too.. it is more drops anyhow.
i just see all too often people go into main mission room and strat focusing on mobs rather than objectives and getting too close on time (or failing on time)
so saving time by doing easier secondaries is just my default
im also newr and have alogn way to go on optimizes etc, so i make it a preiority to hit the black boxes and the big crate. i do spend time finding
Hey, anyone ever lost gear mods even tho they were locked? Ive just lost a crit dmg mod, but idk how🤷🏼♂️ im pretty sure itt was favorited too
if you decon an item with a mod in it, it will pop up a warning. if you click past it... ya. i can see that happening.
Hey Kettle
And last advice to countdown, for all those thinking why you completed it all, yet have insignificant amount of "countdown recognition" coins.
You can get maximum 64 coins out of it (2 such games for named item box, 4 such games for exotic box in the store).
32 of it you can get from the game, another 32 is granted as bonus, if you succesfully board the heli. Basically, boarding bonus is doubling the coins you earned in single game.
Now is the tricky part. Majority of people don't know how to run opening moves. while fighting hunters.
90% of players goes to the nearest hunter. This is wrong.
Always you should go first to meet your opposite sub-group in countdown. Then you can together chase the hunters and also unlock the containers, getting bonus to gameplay, instead of keeping the penalty.
This takes a bit more time (yet still can be completed within first 2 minutes of game), but gives you the most of the countdown coins.
To show you the difference.
Each hunter is worthy 3 coins (if you pickup his hunter key). This in total can give you up to 24 coins, only from hunters.
Each encounter is worthy only 1 coin. This clearly shows, it is more important to get to hunter on time (before other sub-group kills it), than doing quickly any of given encounters.
The main mission is worthy 5 coins - so it definitely should be finished on time (and here comes a VIP with its huge time consumption, as danger to this goal).
As people in majority do not get this math, in most of games it is a success if you can pickup up to 7 hunter keys. If you do that, 2 encounters and main mission, and board the heli - still you can get 56 points - which is pretty decent, comparing to 64 of maximum possible from one game.
hey Saph
If I play with my friend, safe option is that we both ignore VIP and we go to other encounter. In most cases, we 2 are quicker with encounter, than the rest of group with VIP 🙂 There are of course exceptions, but very few of them.
In case I am playing alone with randoms, then yes - in such case, it is better to follow the crowd.
Regarding main mission, I think the lack of communication and randomness of players in the match is bigger issue.
Many missions requires to pull some switches on opposite sides of map. While the whole group is chasing around altogether, lot of time is simply wasted to trigger next stage of main mission. Not much you can do alone with that.
when i see a couple guys with same clan tag head off to a smaller side mission and main group is going VIP.... i go VIP, assuming it is the situation you describe.
when i see people skipping hunters and counter measures, it is the first sign its going to be a tough run to complete.
also.. forming up and 8 manning hunters is WAY faster than splitting up, and also encourages everyone heading into same side mission.
....that feeling when you're the only one trying to clear the countermeasures. XD
i imagine a giant caption over my agent's head "?????" with an animation looking side to side in confusion.
Target loot for summit and countdown is broken and it's working like you said - what you choose for summit the same is for countdown and vice versa.
Is farming floor 10 bannable?
nope, its a legit method.
well, lets call a noodle a noodle... it is an exploit. just one that would require some serious capacity to fix so... rather than policing, just letting it go was the choice.
super rediculous SHD for a large portion of the player base is not functioning as intended.
its not an exploit, its legit gameplay
an exploit is finding and using a design flaw that was not intended to function how it does.
im not saying it isnt legit. just that it is also an exploit
i make software and can also be slightly pedantic. sorry. if the nerd glasses fit...
correct BUT this was intended to function exactly how it does in game (hence not an exploit)
boss coming out of same door with "his squad" is intended.
also makes 100% sense that would happen
so other level x0 floors allow you to kill everything, eat a grenade, and redo the floor?
if so then i stand corrected.
yes they do, its just floor 10 being a common one
Hey AZ
also missions work the same way 😛 for the boss checkpoint
kill boss and complete mission. get updates, post-mission debrief... stay in area, everyoen eat a grenade... and you get the checkpoint again to clear last boss area?
no you dont complete it (same with floor boss farming)
oh i was already aware that leaving 1 mob alive works. i thought the F10 thing was that specific instance of it allowed you to kill everything, get the new checkpoint for floor 11, eat grenades, and still get to redo the floor.
nope, if you get the new checkpoint, you cant redo the floor.
you've not quite got the idea f10 farming, it sounds like - the method used is to kill ALL enemies, get the new checkpoint & floor completion xp, then die (while still in the main room) and it restarts the whole floor and allows you to repeat it - I don't think you get the boss loot after the first time, but you are able to keep getting the floor completion rewards. I'm also on the side of 'this is not intended behaviour and therefore counts as an exploit'.
what gear mods should i be using on my tank build? 3 incoming repairs or 2 protection from elites and 1 incoming repairs? got that bulwark build with liberty
I wouldn't be too confident in not calling floor 10 an exploit when it worked similar to other xp farming methods that were patched. Problem is not enough devs and resources to prioritize fixing it so it will probably remain as a xp farming method. However is it banable? Hell no 🙂
How can i make my agent aim with his gun while being in photo mode?
someone made a reddit post with a guide for how to do it, heres the link :
https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/comments/w8lrv6/how_to_scope_in_in_photo_mode_for_screenshots_or/
ok thanks for that
there are no recalibration tables in safe houses, are there?
Nope
If you go to the DLC after hitting WT5, will the DC stuff scale to level 40 once you come back?
So on the mission "Reach Haven: Speak to Faye and Rhodes" Kelso won't move towards the gate and is just stuck in cover for some reason; we're right at the gate for where you get shoo'd away through NPC dialogue but for some reason Kelso is just permanently in cover.
did you try throwing a nade at her
how do you slide into cover
i see all the enemy npcs do it
but why cant it
is LZ targeted loot a higher chance than summit?
Same everywhere
where can i farm "Claws Out" named piece?
DZ east vendor is selling it but it has "Explosive resistance" and +1skill tier as main attribute and i want to have different of both of em
i would say the best would be to go to countdown, run a few rounds, get the dog tags, and get the "Named Item" cache to hope that you get one with what you want to have, DZ's loot drop is so far, funky atm
as, well, claws out is DZ exclusive, and named, so the best way to get it would be through those...
Well i guess i can also farm legacy caches next global event...i get luckier..
oh, not legacy, legacy is where you get the system corruption and yarral or whatever you spell it
there's 88 named items, legacy cache on the other hand will open all stuff from season 1 to 9
Is there any use for the Hunter dogtags you get in CD?
teleport to White house, turn to right, go strange, right beside the season vendor guys, there's a count down vendor/table
Yes. Each hunter dogtag gives you 3 "countdown recognition" coins at the end of match. This amount is doubled if you boarded heli on time.
As each encounter gives you only 1 "countdown recognition" coin, it is simple conclusion, that getting all hunter's keys is more important than doing all 3 encounters before main mission.
"Countdown recognition" coins can be spend in the shop in White House.
has someone worked out the approx. time it takes for loot to disappear in the summit?
Yes everything scales up to your level
dont have the exact figures but from my experience, proficiency caches are somewhat-permanent (24h+)
for items that drop on the ground, it would be safe to pick up loot every 10 floors. might go missing after 15 pieces on the ground. the old pieces get replaced by new pieces of loot. i am pretty sure it is not time-based
source: held a floor for over 24 hours and my caches were still there. also have tested leaving about 30 caches on the floor
Speaking of countdown, can anyone tell what buffs people use for CHD? I like to run my crit build, and with the cd buff i think i can crit for 1,3m.. i know people use coyote mask to buff, but i have had matches where i crit for 3m+, but what else do people run them to hit that?
thanks! do u know what happens when i have 100/100 mods and have targeted loot set to gear mods in summit. those i usually get by completing the floor are lost or what happens to them since my inventory is full?
drops on the floor
thank god. i was worried i lost em in the past. thanks
exotics get sent to mail
where to get yahl pieces from to deconstruct for crafting yaahl chest piece?
You can't hit those sorts of figures with an AR or SMG normally, but a couple of the countermeasures in countdown give huge damage buffs once activated
DZ, legacy caches, dz vendors, and very occasionally another vendor will sell them (eg clan vendor)
I'm not 100% sure on legacy caches though so maybe double check that
Buying from DZ is a pain because of the 300 credit cap, It's very rare that other vendors have a yaahl piece. I guess I need to get lucky
Yeah, with dz tl broken they're not easy to get hold of
do we know if ubi is aware of this and working on a fix?
They're aware, yeah
but are they working on a fix?
how can tl break in the first place
nothing mentioned
Probbly when they tried to fix chillout dropping in countdown lol
Dz
i think u missed the bit where tl is broken la
I did not. Yaahl still drops DZ only, and caches. Even though targeted is broken, you still get yaahl from dz
Deceit mask is gotten from a manhunt right? Will it ever come back? 🥺
Should still get it. Schaeffer manhunt mission at Coney Island. @pulsar latch
Hey Kettle
hey Saph
Does anyone have a good dps crit build for pvp?
Can you get the system corruption back pack when the back pack icon is at a DZ area?
how to get the loot inside the ring in dragov's mission?
nvm, found a video, im disappointed
So I got the first Nemesis part, now I'll get more by doing the weekly invaded, no?
Tho I did all three to get to the stronghold holding the first one, so am I just locked out this week or what's up
Just re-run the Invaded Stronghold, it should drop the part you need.
yes
just play. at first its swapping weapons and armor as you find it, which is good, so you get a feel for diff gun types.
after a bit you can play skills. reviver hive, assault turret, crusader shield are all good to start imo.
do side missions as well as story mission and explore.
thanks mate....so just play until lvl 40 where the endgame starts!!
yep. 30-40 requires DLC tho.
got it already ;p
Why DIV 2 dark zone is forgotten?
I see a lot of people 15K SHD lv+ and their dark zone lv is 1
I saw one dude 32K SHD lv and dark zone lv 1
Simple answer? SHD level is incredibly easy to farm via a method like Floor 10 spam, compared to the DZ which requires more.
DZ lv is easy but LV 1 mean they have not even go to the dark zone
Leveling there is easy
Yo, chill out mask still obtainable trough tl? Seen vids of people saying it has been removed / added, bit confised
Chill Out is currently known to be locked to ~Christmas time, it may or may not be added back in, but there's been so few reports of it still being around that I'd safely say: no.
Thank you
It is indeed easy to level in the DZ, but it's not "hundreds of SHD levels in a matter of hours" easy.
10 seconds seems to be the average time for a Floor 10 completion. There's a reason the LFG channels are full of people searching for it.
we're there any changes to the game between Feb 2021 to Feb 2022? cuz that's the frame of time I stopped playing div 2
I keep seeing videos from in between that time frame saying there were 'new' changes to striker
maybe because people don't like it? I don't wanna sound snarky when I say that because I don't know either
And why should it be not forgotten? That's my opinion as PVE player only.
What reward comes from playing this crappy mode? (note: my personal opinion on DZ, so I have right to say it :)).
Either Div1 or Div2 - visit in DZ ended 90% of cases the same way - beeing ganked by people having way better builds, way better communicated and in numerical advance. Long story short - I could not explore these areas the way I like to explore. I don't mind the challenge, but I like it on the terms I consider as "fair for all involved parties". DZ simply is not such place in my opinion.
Devs were trying to "convince" players to play DZ by putting there some unique stuff, but honestly - with events and currently Countdown, you can acquire majority of that stuff anyway (various kinds of boxes to purchase in stores), simply by playing content you like, the way you like.
That's all 🙂
the target loot is broken which doesn't help
I honestly think the DZ should get something of a revamp or just improvement
at the very least fix the tl
They could fix it by making the timer for the extraction shorter
the targeted loot inside Dark Zone doesnt work atm
otherwise yeah you would be able to
bro wrote an essay for no reason
ok
Because its full of toxic racist teenagers. If i wanted to experience some toxicity id go back to working retail.
😂😂😂😂😂
Whats you're guys opinion on aim assist on console? Would you consider it almost cheating?
its not necessarily cheating, more of an advantage to make it fair for them having a disadvantage
ok its basically cheating meaning they have an advantage but yknow thats what console players get for being cheap
Are dark zones suppose to be the most unfun gaming experience known to man? in all seriousness I don’t quite get the point of them. Is there more loot? Better loot? The loot I’ve gotten from them so far is pretty meh
Never used it for division, aim assist tends to mess up aim when trying to precision shoot imo cause it moves the crosshairs
Games that you kind of need it for are Uncharted and the last of us
It likes to snap onto gas cans in div2 but can be nice for no scope from cover with rifle or mmr
how do i see what level i currently am
How do I arrive at the correct time for the showdown at high noon saloon?
So no wonder why it didn't dropped for me
Don't expect DZ Targeted Loot Fix with Aug 9th patch, unless a miracle happens on Monday.
any idea if comms from past manhunts are still obtainable?
The lead-up ones are not, but you can still obtain the ones that are from the final mission.
aka: Tidal, Coney, etc.
ah damn ok
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dose anyone know how to get base ironwork material’s
Pickup keys in Iron Horse raid
top right of your HUD or press the button to access the menu
idk what that is on pc
So, I was wondering, now when Heartbreaker is no longer amplified dmg and for Striker, it says it amplifies total weapon dmg, is Striker doing more dmg then HB?
I know HB gives you bonus armor, but you don't need to have things pulsed for it to apply, so I was just wondering
This is aim assist on ps5 on div2.
It tends to snap to torso then you have to adjust aim upwards left/right towards head and how much aim adjustment depends on distance and speed target is moving in order to hit the headshot before the less than a second magnetism effect wears off
This is the result of me taking over 2k hours of mastering it with only playing MMRs and Pistols
the wild west build lmao
Late reply sorry, the only thing I have there is a safe zone mission
(this is about getting the deceit mask if anyone else can help)
Nope. Assuming you're running the chest piece in both sets, 100 stacks on striker will get you about 67% amplified damage (due to the way the stacks multiply with each other) while HB will still reach 100% (the stacks add to reach other but are twice as strong)
HB stacks still give you amplified damage same as striker, the nerf was just to make them add together instead of multiply (pre-nerf, HB at 100 stacks gave you 170% amplified damage)
If it’s the story mode mission, do that first. If you have Warlords, and if you’ve progressed far enough on the season pass, you’ll unlock the mission.
Appreciated!
is there some sort of list of the chat commands u can use in the game? so far i know of invite, join, inspect. (found it)
At this point DZ is no longer fun to do
DZ armor glich
dz always fun
DZ, glich .. nothing fun..
no glitch
Hey Rivens, Kettle,
how can you say that when DZ is not fun? i mean sure it is fun "mostly" but at the other times it's just not like if you wanna get a exclusive DZ item from there you gotta grind you're ass out till you get it and when you do and want to call an extraction and have it in you're inventory boom comes a group of rogues and ruin the day
Thank you for letting us know about your dz experience. I’m sorry it did not work as you expected and apologize for any inconvenience that this has caused for you.
is the DLC worth it?
Yes. Especially for more endgame content
And also for some lore related stuff too
anyone got a link for the div 2 spreadsheet
what does the red knife over the dark zone mean
invaded by black tusk
okay thanks
is there a list of every perfect talent and the item that have it
I've unlocked the Schaeffer manhunt mission but I can't see it on Coney Island?
Am I missing something?
you have to finish the current manhunt
No you gotta do is to go to the mission where you kill Dolores and at then change difficulty by Hold Y or what you hold to change the modes there and then you can see the schaeffer manhunt mission there @vapid lake
oh you dont have to finish the one currently active?
Ah ok np
Got it! Yep it works! Thanks!
what is the name of the mission
Is Hunter's Fury worth grinding for? (:
HF is lots of fun to play, but it is high risk imo playing in close.
Whats a raid
im not good at it, but i stil do it on occasion
I'm looking for something that I can run solo heroic missions
Solo heroic missions can be a struggle, thats just dependent on build and playstyle if you are not bringing anyone
for solo heroic i tend to run negotiators with backpack, 2 blue cores, spotter/technician/flatline police M4 crit build.
crusader shield and healing chem or reviver hive
Negotiators, gotcha I'll check it out!
but.. HF works, especially if you knwo the spawn points
just.. playing at 15m or less you can get into trouble.
nego takes some practice to be effective, but not a ton. just try to keep 3 targets lit when you can, but dont take risks to do so.
I love smgs run and gun type, that's why they appeal (:
Now I did hear Scorpio is the way to go with hf
i run scorpio as my secondary, and with technician and 2 blue cores my shiedl is good enough i cna get in for some shotty work as needed
other wise i move around a lot cover to cover and corner poke with shield
HF also works well (if you can land headshots) with headhunter and an 870 or super 90.
i also have one with ridgeway pride chest, wicked backpack, and sadist on a Mpx/six12
but.. ya. nego works better for me solo, just cuz HF im not quite good enough
oh.. HF works really well with firespec cuz that shield is excellent
my nego build is 4p nego (with bag), coyote, and ceska (or groupo .. based on your crit numbers).
technician, spotter on chest, flatline on police M4 (can do C7 or king breaker as well).
2 core blue but 3 or less blue cores to taste
for solo run and gun though, keep in mind that memento backpack is really strong
just i personally find that negotiators set bonus works better for me with the backpack.
ill ping the controller or grenadier or healer etc when i have shot, get a tag, then just hose down rushers or skirmisher types.
tag the engineer, then hose his turret. etc
may i ask why the police M4 and not the kingbreaker
handling
im on xbox. if i was using a mouse, the KB would probably be fine
well.. aside from rifle distance shooting. KB is less accurate too.
is it me or do 90% of randos in this game suck
I was running bulwark tank and they were both full dps
should redact the names b4 posting this but... ya i dunno. i guess it is a tactical shooter, not CoD or halo, and even running around in bulwark smart play and knowing missions helps. Div2 isnt 100% twitch reflex. DPS that just hides even skill builds that hide and dont shoot to trigger synergies (like capacitor or w/e) will fall behind
i like how that unkown guy that vudu only had a 1 or 2 revive than theres beula here needing 20 revives to win
well if one DPs was constantly reviving the other... that could explain low output as well
especially with stacking type build
i dont pub beyond CD cuz i have a RL 4-man... but i do see some odd things on occasion.
playerbase is a lot smaller than other games id imagine, plus if youre on this discord id imagine your average build is gonna be much better than randos just cuz of game knowledge
since I had to do all the invaded missions in order to get the first nemesis part, I cannot get a second one before invasion reset, right?
repeating the stronghold doesn't drop one so I was wondering
does anyone know if efficient works with system corruption talent
Looking for someone to help me with website for division 2, will include a lot of stuff. Feel free to DM
Hey Sanitizer
Yep
You'll have it in 3 weeks haha
Is there a reason why Titan has two agent watches on?
Is there like, lore somewhere how he killed another agent or something?
Looks like he killed another rouge plus a regular agent
So I just saw a post asking for fresh iron horse and saying NG what is NG
gentlemen, i'm at my 4th summit ascension, and still can't get 2 ridgeway pieces.
is there some specific condition or trick to it?
It's a chance
i have a question
i just reached world tier 5 and i want to do a high armor and high shield health build with the foundry bulwark
i watched a build showcase and the dude had insane amount of armor on each of his pieces(100k+)
how do i get armor pieces with the same amount of armor
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzsLiltj2Rk
this is the showcase
he's gone through the DLC, which increases your level to 40, increasing base armor values
i see
thx for letting me know
How do i strategize a plan to kill multiple rogues if im overun
grenades and explosives are your best friend in that scenario
because when your overun
some good aoe always gets the job done
seeker mines are good especially the cluster variant
Hey if I'm WT3 and looking to get Warlords is there a specific reason I should wait till I reach 4 or 5?
or you can use the boost, and get there immediately.
don't get overrun, duh.
stay back, deep outside of their fire zones, make them come to you, hopefully one by one.
when they do, stunlock them with scorpio, and that's it.
thankfully, rogues don't disrupt skills, so even a turret build can deal with them easy enough, with that scorpio safety margin.
My mission mates ign will never appear on this screen...no idea why
where can i find a weaponed named backfire \
farm areas with smgs as targeted loot or go do summit/countdown and change your target loot to smgs.

What is the issue behind getting the wraith mask? Shot both lights out and saluted and no spawn
Did you check the time? Also make sure you’re standing out of the water
yes
i was in a group so im gonna try solo
You can‘t get the lady death in countdown, or am I wrong?
You are wrong
Only the raid exclusive exotics can't be dropped on countdown
As well as blueprint exos before crafting them
just entered endgame and i finished the grand washington hotel mission, any advice?
Wasn't the street apperal event starting today?
starts tomorrow, stuff generally starts on tuesdays
one of the things to do is to see what kind of builds you want to go for, and start putting atleast one decent one together, here is a recommended builds list that will give a overview of good starter builds,
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-nOwUSECa-1iLhET-mW04u6oMBdIdMjFjB2Ie25ziEA/edit
there is also a spreadsheet in the pinned comments in #td2-build-advice that has written out guides for those builds and a lot of other info to check trough
👍
How do I increase my weapons score? It's 285 currently. Do I keep playing with the same weapons or keep switching regularly?
you will get better drops as you play, just keep switching to higher weapon/gear score gear
unless you have a build rn, swap gears too
Because i heard that Incoming Repair and Repair skill stacks in multiplicative manner, can anyone point me to a resources that does a complete breakdown of every attribute behavior between each other, not just damage.
yes, inc rep n rep skill are multi to ea other
Yeah, and im asking if anyone can link me to complete breakdown of multiplicative and additive attributes.
Hi i wanted to make sure, does lady death drop from main mission with SMG targeted loot too?
i see ty
np
is heartbreaker set still good?
It didn't change since live server release so yes
it is still good, just not completely broken.
(they changed the stacks to be self-additive, so 100% is actually 100%)
i've exotic black tusk gloves lv30
how i can lv it up to 40?
in expertise section?

Do you own the expansion, and are you currently at Level 30 or 40?
If you're Level 40, you can reconfigure the gloves to bring it up to 40, assuming you have the required base materials. The reconfigure blueprint can be bought from Inaya at the White House, if you haven't done so already.
LETS GOO
Is targeted loot still bugged in DZ?
Yes
so when is s10? i was thinking it would be at the beginning of this month.
How does one go about getting the catharsis mask?
From the spreadsheet it can drop from lz and dz but only after getting the blueprint?
How long is left in the season? Struggling to find the time
Found it, 3 weeks am I right?
Is the wrench mask from watch dogs 2 gonna be in the new event?
probably not
Yeah but i hope at least a mask that maybe to look like wrench's mask
There's an ingame Counter for how long the current Season will last, if you open the Pause Menu > Seasons.
It's about 90% accurate, but it will almost never be shorter than it states.
Hey Heart,
Yo, for farming summit, do you get a higher chance at exotics the higher the floor? Why is it always floor 10 farm, wouldn't a floor 20, 30 etc. Be more efficient?
I got godroll catharsis like the day it came out from an exotic crate so
you can def get it
Could it be that targeted loot is bugged? I've been farming DZ all day with hunter's fury targeted loot and i got every set but hunter's fury
and marked me other things as targeted loot instead of hunter's fury
targeted loot in the dz is broken yes devs do know about it
Bruh ;/
i just literally need 1 more piece for the 4-piece even if they're trash and i've spent all day here for nothing
so.. am i not understanding what it means to 'Shoot 6 targets in the shooting range in 10 seconds"?
technician 4.
i goto the ttk range. reset. leave shootign range. come in, and shoot all 6 in 5 seconds.
doesnt update.
its a diffrent shooting range. ones you find in the open world. icon is a green ractangle
no, open world event is called 'target practice'.
tech research is that white house basement installation.
but it's fiddly, yes.
if memory serves, i did it by dropping the lot of them to low hp, then finishing up all at once.
summit or, better yet, countdown allow you to select any targeted loot you want. it's the easiest way to get stuff by far.
anyone know how to get teh audacity comm
i finished the manhunt but only have 20/21
anyone able to point me in the direction of someone or some site that can explain the proficiency rank system?
repeat the final mission
ai knewe ite
thx
actually no
there are 2 bosses
but we need 3 comms
oh... i'm correct, my bad
ok
update isnt out yet #server-status
OHH it just says All Keys Collected 0/0 for me
Any ideas why theres a placeholder and it says all keos collected?
hasnt released yet
same reason here
yews
Far out...
anyone know the aug looking gun name and the assault rifle at teh bottoms name?
bighorn
for the aug looking gun?
yes
wbu the AR at the bottom?
The bottom gun looks like a Ravenous on my tiny phone screen, it's locked to Iron Horse.
Bighorn is locked to Legendary named enemies.
so both ars are locked behind the 2 raids sigh
Bighorn you can grind leg missions
i aint ready for legendary stuff most i can do atm is heroics as i am new to pc
they aren't need-to-get weapons
so there's no need to rush
regulus tho (the pistol)
on console ive done both raids multiple times ive even sherpaed a bunch
fastest time for me on console for dark hours was 5;45
Might wanna edit that time.
5hrs 45minutes hmmm
5 minutes and 45 seconds*
Nope
i dun about 5min45s, probably possible by doing some HH setups, but who knows
people have done it in under 4 mins so
12 minutes is the current record, I believe.
i had a game where a guy with chinese name was scorpioing through enemies and bosses
It would take more than 4 minutes to run through it with no enemies.
that game took more than 15mins
There we go, 4 minutes is silly.
The leaderboards ingame are full of "not truths", to put it mildly.
Check during time trials and they're all 0 seconds.
The way they get the real low records is LETS ALL SY IT by cheating
Don't mean the 709 for dh my clan is good for 19 mins for ih
OMG pls teach me 😭
my fastest time on pc is 3 hours 23 mins
I have no problems with speed running
But when you say 3 mins for ih I don't think so
As this convo goes on, please remember to keep it away from specific talk about exploits.
Yes mom 🤣
there's TAS for TD2 yet?
doing it with randos i cant get past boomer 😭
should be randos, no?
usually its around an hr or 2 at most for the shittiest organised groups
no it's with my best friends, completely organized group. 😎 ik, we're pretty quick
Normally 30 min for DH and 1 hour for IH
how many world bosses in new york?
bc i wanna get the lady death, and the spreadsheet says "22 NY world bosses," but i see a bunch of diff numbers online
also would love a good map
when doing floor 10 farm solo, is challenging with 4 directives better for faster clears or heroic with 4 directives for more xp
i cant do any of those crazy skill build 30 second clears but i can clear the floor in a reasonable time
Are the servers up?
Does anyone know a link where I can find a up-to-date list of all d2 exotics?
Spreadsheet linked in the pins in #td2-build-advice
Thank you!
there is a maintenance for 3 hours
I'm creating a new website for the game. If anyone is willing to help or wants to contribute my DMs are open
What build u use? Better it's with the eclipse set. Personnaly i do it with explode builds when i m solo
i do heroic 7d solo it only takes like 2mins with an eclipse build
is there a site or sheet somewhere where i can see where certain items come from?
But 4 mins is legit when I questioned those times with the CM at the time Chris Gansler. The Community knows it isn't but when the devs say otherwise their word is taken as Gospel
How do you mean? 99% or items in the game don’t drop from a particular source
@storm river oh, so i can do any content in the game and get 99% of the items randomly? good to know. i just stated playing the game so i had no idea
not at end game yet
Some exotics can only be acquired from raids, and some have a certain project that needs to be completed first. Don’t have to worry about those until you’re max level though
k
servers are off?
@modern sparrow servers are undergoing maintenance. they estimated it to take 3 hours, so 40 more minutes
Hello peeps, noob here, tried game in ubisoft+ and I'm hooked. I wanna buy it, but don't understand all this season stuff. What do I need to buy to be set up?
you need base game + dlc, complete the main campaign of base game and dlc
so base game and the new york stuff
Yep the season comes only if u buy the dlc or the pack with the dlc
alright, will check, confusing since there's a bunch of seasons, guess its a bit like d2
What's the best way to get gear with a better 'gear score'?
Played 3 missions on Hard yesterday, my gear score only increased from 288 to 289. This way, the grind to Level 5 would take 1000 of hours
What!?
I just wanna move to World Level 5 mate.
🥲
@silver steeple then go to the vendors and buy higher gearscore gear. And also craft some too
Do I need to buy season pass for apparel event?
do you need to buy the new york expansion ?
Nope
For the apparel event? Yes, all seasonal content is only available once you buy and complete the WONY dlc
this is my first time doing a GE in D2, are the rewards from the track all you get, or can you get more stars and earn more rewards in another way?
you can earn stars via the challenges or via leveling up and use them to purchase items from the GE vendors (Haven & White House)
such as named item caches, exotic caches, optimization mat caches, etc.
what does this mean?
"Fixed the issue with the 0/0 Exotic Components upgrade requirement needing one Exotic Component for upgrade of Gear Expertise levels."
It means if you didn't have any exotic components, you couldn't upgrade gear from level 10 to 11, even though doing so doesn't actually consume any exotic components.
Can catharsis drop in countdown regardless of not getting it on from the pass first?
Hey Heart, NUG, Kettle,
Hey Saph
HEY YOU!
Anyone know which is the more accurate snitch map, theres
s division2map.com then the one on rubenalamina.mx that's linked from the subreddit
and they don't match
https://division2map.com/ this is the good one that I've been using for years now.
both of those maps 100% match, its just Snitch is a RNG spawn at one of those points.
nah they don't match
Without specifically mentioning the method, does anyone know if the "old trick" still works for the Snitch spawn?
Ruben also doesn't have all the locations listed, we stopped adding more quite a bit ago, although there are quite a few more locations.
idk about any trick myself but I know if you load in to the game at white house you can usually FT to the classified mission just NE of WH and he's there like 99% of the time.
yeah he mentions 30 where the interactive map has 42 possible locations
yeah, he just stopped updating cause there were so many and he was so easy to find. interactive map just got updated more often for longer.
the trick is....it involves a DZ entrance.
I tried it myself a few weeks back and it worked, but could've been a bit of RNG.
oh, never heard of that one. there are a few locations though that's he's usually at consistently if I run by them or FT near them
the one classified, the castle, the one building to West of Space Admin....certain ones just seem very consistent.
This trick was around back before WONY, IIRC.
I guess it's harmless enough, but I'll avoid mentioning the exact method.
dz east charlie cp building across with 2 floors
is he supposed to be on the 2nd floor? Map says 1st floor but there's no stairs down from where you climb up to
The building.across? Theres a ladder to the right. If hes not there, log out log back in
So 2nd floor
You go inside the 2nd floor, there's a door you can open.
You didn't hear that from me.
There's a couple doors on opposite corners but neither open
i'll dm you the most consistent and convenient location.
there's nothing "exploitative" nor glitchy about this method as it only involves exploration and fast travel, any more than it is to get water at the park near lincoln memorial or get mats at solar farm
never mind check it here
yeah I've been at the right spot, the office space with all the cubicles. The question is just whether he's supposed to be in the office there or downstairs somewhere
Since the map says "1st floor" then someone here tried to say there was a secret trap door or something
I'm just trying to confirm he's not there so I can go check other spots, but I need to be sure I'm checking the right place first
2nd floor at the office space with cubicles.
there is no trap door.
if he's not there, log out, log in, repeat. works everytime
Cassie is here btw if shes what you're after
oh I thought it was different for everyone and you had to find the snitch yourself
Is it possible to wear mask armour on 24/7? As in shown physically
if you go to your inventory there should be an options button at bottom, one of the options it to wear mask 24/7
i was doing invaded DCD just now and had some AR’s drop, for context, my Kingbreaker does 101.0k dmg and i had another AR that did 152.4k dmg drop and when i equipped it the dmg went down to 95.1k, anyone know why this is?
is it just a bug?
Thank you sm
cassie will have the same location for everyone, but you do need to have her unlocked by talking to the snitch, if you go to her location on a session that doesnt have her unlocked, she will not be visible
hmmm
what do?
oxidator skill
what is the best way to get exotics
what's it mean when I equip a mod and the box is highlighted red
open exotic caches 😄
depends on specific item
usually: target loot grind
? have screenshot?
What's the best build for conflict atm?
That is a mod
It helps you in 3 things such as armor, skill, damage
I know it's a mod I was asking why it's red
Guess it's just red on armor whereas the square is orange when you slot a mod on a weapon
You have damage equipped
I see it's the color of the bar on the stat on the mod
Any conflict players enlighten me of a good build, seem to get annihilated with whatever I use :/
never seen that
can u put a bigger picture?
The only time I remember (and that’s not saying much) seeing the red mod slot it is on exotic weapons and means you can’t change the mod that comes with it. Can’t recall seeing it on gear pieces though. What piece is it on?
see the bar either red yellow or blue
the box turns that color when you slot it in
just an observation, we solved the mystery. The box is always just orange on weapon mod slots
After finishing the WONY campaign can you go back and forth between NY and DC?
yes
If i want exotic weapons is it better for me to open Exotic Cache or Named Item Cache?
well since named item caches will never give exotics....
Guys im doing the mission in summit. Its sidearm Specialist. The mission is Completed 3 floors ... in a single session
it keep reset the mission every time i enter next floor
how do i complete this?
complete 3 floors
...while only equiping the pistol
yes i know that i finish first floor it say 1/3
and it rết 0/3 on next floor
reset
dont open your inventory
it counts the auto switching to your primary as switching off the pistol
if you arent opening your inventory I got no clue
tks for ur info
4-5 blue cores and almost any dps build. If you want to make people salty use mortar turret or status effects
I run ridgeways, sadist and wicked
quick question, where can I farm for these materials?
What is the difference between this two when I am crafting ?
I would suggest doing a countdown with mods as the loot and just deconstruct them for the far right item
depends on playstyle but can never go wrong with a spotter kingbreaker build, a status/ mortar build or even just a full red
Gear mods goes on gear. System for skill focused gear mods. Top one is any category
im pretty sure we used to have slots that were split to two different types but they removed that for obvious reasons
does Tidal basin count for the "complete any invaded mission on hard or higher" challenge today?
cause I don't have an invaded mission left
You can toggle missions to invaded even if you did them. Also camp white oak counts, since thats always BT
I don't remember which ones that were, but aight thanks
I don’t think strongholds count as missions
does memento backpack drop from countdown too?
yes
Only ones that don’t are EB, regulus, ravenous as well as the blueprint exos before youve crafted them. (Ridgeways, dodge city, nemesis, chatterbox etc)
by the way what should i use for the "bleed 3 enbemies at once" challenge
i see ty
Stinger hive, bank hq. Bleed the first group, restart
Or ridgeways and just spray into a group
I'm gonna have to see how I'll do the sidearm challenge
i just hit lvl 40, should i do manhunt or story missions first? or does it not matter what i do at this point
actually, i should probably unlock a specialization first right? so can i start lvling it up?
Unlocking specs, farming for a build and etc sounds fine for now
you can farm good amount of mats daily in solar farm CP, then the rest comes from outcasts and hyenas respectively
the last one is a guarantee when you disassemble gears iirc
Even with a spotter build, would you want to put on a bit of extra armour or is it worthless?
i run two blues on mine with a kingbreaker hitting 116k i would jave at least two but it depends bc it works with 6
i would send you a picture but im not at home till sunday
Only run blues if you have no choice, else you need to justify with a shield.
You're all good, I'd say I've a similar build, just no blues, isnt conflict somewhat "balanced" though? As in weapons are somewhat affected and not doing the real damage/defense it should?
I tried a lady death build too, seems to shred in DZ but not so much in conflict
You're good, still appreciate it
it is normalised pvp but it doesnt take away from the damage you can deal with a full red or full blue
id recommend 2 blues for that speceific build but some say 4 or 3
Appreciated!
Hey Heart,
How to Black Tusk outfit
white btsu outfit is the best oufit ingame cx
did anyone read Tom Clancy's New York collapse book, is it worth getting?
i just did the basilisk quest on roosevelt island and it didn't count i broke all of his armor
i did both thighs, shoulders, chest, and helmet that's all right?
yeah, there's just 6 IIRC. could try agian and use pulse to help highlight the armor plating to be absolutely sure they're gone (though should be fairly easy to see tho the one leg does bug out at times IIRC)
that area doesn't look right, maybe it's the angle.....but...
is that the area immediately after blowing up the fence? looks different
maybe i just blew it up
cause basilisk is in that circle area after you get the c4 and blow up the fence. right before you go into building and drop into the hole n ground
this one i guess
yes, that's the one
i thought it meant normal ones
no worries, s'all good. did ya get it?
anytime, glad it worked out for ya
are everyone on pc crashing in this game on a regular basis? im trying different things like dx11/dx12 and other settings, but nothing seems to prevent the game from crashing
it's hit or miss if you're still affected. some people don't crash at all, some people crash every 10 minutes.
one would think a common thread (no pun) exists in these issues. from what i read here i question injecting the anticheat, but i wonder about CPU architecture, any runtime redists, etc... audio drivers, video drivers...
imo it would be helpful if the devs have actually found any common aspects to mention them.
one rare time im glad i play a game on console.
oddly enough I crashed less often on Win7, then moved to Win10 and crashed a little more often (not by alot), S9 update happened and crashes increased slightly, and after this recent patch, so far no crashes. so who knows.
most I can tell is that every time the game crashes for me it must send a crash report cause my bandwidth usage spikes like a rocket for a minute or so. but CPU usage and GPU usage always seemed fine, just randomly freezes.
Is there a different way to unlock the stinger hunter outfit?
i just caputred a control point, and the containers in the supply room was already open and empty. is that normal? did i do the same control point in too short of a time span or something?
They restock once a day at the same time daily projects reset
That's all containers, not just the ones in CPs
gotcha
IIRC, the only way is the friend referral program. though the game does offer the plain hunter outfit in the store, just doesn't have the yellow accents in it AFAIK.
can i tell which ones ive already done?
oh, supplies available means i didnt do it im guessing
Correct
Mendoza is open
Hi gang, I'm new to the end game and I've only completed 1 raid in my own map but I'm at World Tier 4. Will this affect my game play as I progress?
No
mendoza list in chat
what are "territory control activites"? ive captured control points, ive done the broadcast thing and few other things, but nothing has counted yet. need it to unlock gunner
Can multiple people refer the same person at the same time?
crossed gun symbol on map. when you complete them, a key drops and you open a crate with it.
oh those, alright ty
Why would anyone not choose to enable golden bullet
Hello, new player here. I just bought the Ultimate Edition and I've been wondering... Is it normal that the game keeps crashing over and over while doing random stuff?
are 20 pieces enough to get a brand set to proficient ?
cause I believe I just donated +10 hard wire pieces and it's only Rank 3/10
100 brand and gear set pieces, 20 weapons?
weapons, improvised gear, exotics and named are 20 each & brands and gear sets are 100
what should I spend my stars on from the golden bullet thing as a new level 40?
optimization crates?
imo def named caches, theyre the hardest to otherwise farm
whats the best thing to prioritize donating materials to for expertise? my thoughts are def the preorder weapons first, then less common skills, is there anything im missing that would make something else better to prioritize?
Just got both my exotics from ih the rifle and handgun
I seem to be crashing more since the last update, is anyone else experiencing this?
is it just me or is it taking a while to load into the main menu? stuck in the orange dial screen
I'm definitely still crashing randomly. nothing out of the ordinary
How can i get comms from previous seasons?
You can get the ones from the final manhunt missions, but not the ones from the other targets.
Ah i see
The ones called territory control. Marked with 2 guns i think
i just tried the summit for the first time last night, made it to floor 4 before having to log off. a friend said i would resume from there when i logged back on, but im back in the lobby, so i assume he was wrong, or do i have to do something to "save" my progress?
Go into the elevator
every 3 floors you should be getting a checkpoint, but when you go back to summit you will begin always in lobby. take elevator and you should land at last check point.
And youll continue
ooh, okey then, nice
from elevator menu, you can also select 'clear checkpoint' which will reset you to floor 1 if you so desire.
all blue prints in the game are listed at the crafting table, and it also tells you were to farm the blueprint.
it says for example, reward for completing projects, but does that mean just any project until i get it, or do i 100% get it or not from one or more of em?
like, can i browse through the projects, see if its listed, if not then wait for refresh or something?
nvermind, i guess they reward random blueprints huh
the rewards are still RNG.
got it, ty
at least fair RNG
Is Division 2 Still Cool? Was there anything new? I played it 1 year ago and then lost interest.
u will get them all in time, unlike the usual apparel caches
you cant get duplicates?
ues
no dups.
ok, thats good at least
what are the odds of getting vector drop from summit if i choose smg as target loot? 😛
cant be that bad
exact same as any other SMG from smg target loot. its RNG and this game doesnt have weighted drop rates.
shd3xxx, still missing 2 apparel from the normal apparel caches...
Good news is that you'll have more later on, once the Cache loot pool swaps over.
Thanks, I didn't know improv gear were levelable as well
I'm interested on this too, I wonder if somebody could give their thoughts and have them pinned. I'm not prioritizing skills, they're "only a few" and even the least useful ones can be trained by having them slotted. I was thinking exotic pieces > DZ exclusives > named pieces > weapons and pieces that don't fit my game style. Brand and gear sets seem easier to farm or rank up organically. Same for Skills. Same for many weapons.
Really ??? All items in a target group are equally weighted ???
yes. among their class type (ie exotics to exotics, named to named, high end to high end)
Re: expertise donating prio. IMHO focus the donating for the hard to get items 1st. But TBH, the entire expertise system is very weak buffs and poorly designed that it doesnt matter.
im missing 1 shd tech for a project, its not marked on the map. any tip on finding those? do i have to run around and stumble upon it?
find a place with question mark
ok
also might be hidden under fog of war you havent uncovered yet.
there's no more question marks, so that might be. im not sure how to tell
i assume the fog is the blacked out part, in which case, there's no fog in this district
yes blacked out area
yeah i see those in the other districts
you may need to zoom in a bit to find the question marks as well.
you can also just google locations and find a guide or video
wait, when i zoomed in, a lot of collectables appeared. are those ones i havent picked up yet?
yes
i had no idea those were marked on the map, unless i ran past them or something
if they are marked on teh map, you did run past them at some point
ok, how did i miss all of those lol
i ask myself teh same question whenever im running aroudn open world (which i am doing this week cuz golden bullet)
😄
hey, im a returning player on pc and with all the new additions to the game how do i gear up?
the Warlords of New York DLC has created a completely new endgame, so step one is to buy DLC, then hop on the chopper to new york. You will be stuck in NY until you complete that story at level 40 and get your SHD watch.
then you can begin farming lvl 40 gear (gearscore is depreciated) for builds and do the season events etc.
i got the dlc and played abit after lvl 40 i just dont know what to do now
youd farm target loot for the gear you want for the build you are after.
Some complenionist things to go for would be all commendations, collecting all exotics, and getting all 27 hunter masks
agreed, the way I'm seeing expertise is more like a sticker book right now, something that will guide me thru the grinding and keep me busy when I don't have much to do
yeah I stopped donating and just started selling and deeconstructing for ceramic and electronics(the two things that keep me from rerolling)
I prob donated more than 1000 items at this point and the only proficiencies I have are the ones I just used while farming
1% damage bonus 💀
i always went with the route of marking stuff as junk, then checking recal library if anything could get donated there, then the expertise donate, then dismantling anything left over after that.
but after awhile ur recal gets done and u just straight up donate practically everything. weapons are usually the fastest/first to get proficient since it only take 20 donations of that items where as the other things are slow since needing 100 donations (not speaking in terms of mats tho, just dupe donations)
I wish Massive populated summit floors X0 and safe houses with recalibration tables, so you can donate without going to the summit lobby or the BOP/Haven
I mean
I empty my inventory before going and it takes a while to fill up so
maybe
maybe every 10 floors
yeah every 10 floors you have a stash, just put a table there
I do try to empty my inventory as well, but I never unload the loadouts to the stash so I always keep ~60 items in my inv
not enough stash space
I unload loadouts
btw if you equip your loadout it pulls them out from your stash
considering i have about 200+ named items inside and the rest exotics (2+ per type of exotic)
My stash is about ~150 pieces, I only keep very good rolls for pieces I could use one day. I don't do LMG and Shotguns, so I don't keep those.
I just keep 1 of each
I used to keep 1 of each but then my stash got full and decided not to keep named, or unnamed godrolls, for weapon types I don't care about
yeah I guess I don't keep the clearly useless ones
wait, what has the golden bullet event to do with running open world activities?
rather than doing countdown, i goto a targted loot area and do open world during golden bullet, cuz more XP than count down and i need field reasrch anyhow.
have you done an elite patrol or resource convoy with golden bullet on? its lolz
CPs too. you charge the CP, get to the spawn door, and mow
even on heroic (i do this with ND build)
yeah, I know, the FAMAS is basically a laser beam
What is the single worst gun in the game? Not just bad or niche or boring, but the absolute undisputed champion of terribleness
My money's on the 93R, personally
Sleigher low-key is kinda good but impossible to aim with
The damage output it has is respectable (considering, well... snowballs), and there's no bullet spread at all
The per shot damage isn't bad for an SMG, but the ROF is abysmal
Check the video of a clan running dark hours with it, takes forever and it's not because they're missing a lot
That would be pretty special ( but chicken dance central)
Turn one of the DZs into a winter special, have a free for all there
mmmm yellow snow
Guys I'm looking for some advice, I'm trying to the technician specialist and I need to kill three of the tracked robot after pulsing them, I can't find them anywhere, iv been looking for hours.
they're black tusk, so look for black tusk activities in the open world or run invaded missions
there also are a guaranteed 2 or 3 at the very beginning of Legendary DUA, but you may find them a bit much to handle
Have been trying the missions but not getting them, there utube vids showing em at start of the amusement island mission but they not there
Invaded missions are red icons yeah.
spawns in most cases are randomised (legendary strongholds being the prime exceptions) so you need a bit of luck
The legendary is impossible for me, right so just play and hopefully I'll come across em
Thanks for the advice.
Does it matter which difficulty, I can play heroic or challenging
shouldn't matter which difficulty as long as it's above Normal, so feel free to play Hard or Challenging to speed up the hunt
Cool thanks.
might sound dumb, what are premium credits, how do i earn them and use them?
premium credits are credits you need to spend real money on to buy IIRC, used to purchasing the season pass, certain apparel items, and some other in-game content through the in-game store.
like some apparel you will see an option to buy using textiles OR premium credits, and some are only purchasable with premium credits.
thx
Pick any black tusk content in the open world, or do the summit for < 10 floors. Equip pulse jammer. Lower the difficulty if you want to cruise it, otherwise just play heroic and you'll organically do it
Hey Heart. Kettle,
am i imagining things when i thought i saw some auto deconstruct options? for like anything not exotic
that you loot
What do you call the thing that is on the Agent Hoopster jacket? Cause i forgot the name of it
New player here. Just reached level 40 and unlocked the weekly stuff and so on. Any advice for a new player who just started endgame? Any easy-to-get build to start the journey and farming?
#td2-build-advice -> Pins -> spreadsheet -> Hub tab.
lots of builds to pick.
imo Negotiators Dilema (ND or Nego) is an easy one to build and works well. So is Hunters Fury (HF) if you are into close quarters.
High end builds are harder to put together, but can be really strong.
im not a tech / skill type so... no recommends for yellow builds.
How many levels up do you gots mostly when playing floor 10?
I tried and i got about 20 lvls then turn off 
Will the agent debrief in #news-and-announcements be available for playback or is it only live?
its not live, its pre-recorded. but will be on youtube like always.
do the floor 100 hunters jammer 100% of the time?
Approximately 70 or more an hour depending on the team.
They have some delay before another disrupt
so the only way to craft a belstone backpack is to play in season 3?
Fellow agents, I seek your counsel. While trying to figure out this new "expertise" system, I seem to have messed up and donated all my ceramics to upgrade a skill. Is there a way to get a truckload more ceramics kinda quickly other than raiding supply convoys?
The LFG way would be:
- Solar Farm
- Outcast Missions
- Do countdown and deconstruct gear
The Veteran player way would be: - Use WONY mule to donate scavenging points towards ceramics.
can confirm
hello everyone, I'm doing some speed running legendary mission but time leaderboard not updating. is that some bug?
doesnt count when u have GE active
Hey Rendy0
I think i should look for a team next time i'll ask because sometimes i die 
hi i have over 100000 textiles and every time i open a create it tells me duplicates just gives me more textiles , are they of any use???
Yes, the cosmetics store has some clothing and gun skins you can buy for textiles that aren't in the caches
thankyou
I could swear I couldn't use my skills at all, like they had 100% uptime disruption
if it's summit then yeah you're gonna have 5 hunters lol
Hm I totally missed a technician skill provides shelter against disrupt
if it's countdown they won't jam very immideately after you're not disrupted
Yeah it's summit floor 100
yeah then you'll have to live with the disrupt lol
F
or if you're past SHD 999 you can have a bit of time to heal with chems
at least the hazprot on your watch is maxed out
Hm ok
I’d say yes because it’s a level 36 compared to 32 which gives 100k armor while only losing 3k damage. Either way it’ll be useless once you reach level 40
Sad but yes
Is that briefing video in 10min or an hour?
3PM BST, so 26 minutes from now
if i dont have a build that clears summit in 30 secs but i have a decent cqc build with damage is it worth doing summit grind on challenging 4+ divs instead of heroic with 4 divs for slightly faster and more consistent clears?
im not sure what the difference in xp is but i dont want to get a floor 10 checkpoint just to find out and then get it again later when i actually want to grind
Does dark winter drops from exotic caches too?
no, because its not an exotic.
so only named caches and DZ?
i thought it was an exotic lol i'll farm countdown since there is no SMG targeted in the DZ
yes only from named caches and DZ.
How does one leave a Countdown group? I tried pressing Esc to see the social menu and I can't find an option. Fraking group leader hasn't started the damn thing for ages.
Newbie question: should I be playing on challenging to get better rewards? Is the "quality" of the drops better on higher difficulties and with more directives enabled?
roll quality is higher on hgiher difficulty.
directives add XP, and at least in summit, a small icreased chance of targeted loot drop
also challenging + is where you always get high end quality (gold) drops. no more purples (aside from static open world crates, those dont scale)
i foudn getting off hard and into challenging was difficult, but once i got into challenging and was getting all high end drops, i was able to make a 'real' build faster, and make the progression for challenging to heroic much quicker.
I guess this answers the question I had about what would be the best way to get the talents and stats for the recalibration station. Hopefully I can tackle challenging soon to start getting nice stuff.
Hey Heart, AZurmen32,
Thank you. Thought it would be like random activity group matchmaking where it's on the right side. UI consistency and all.
at long last, i've waited for the moment when this moronic interface decision would screw me up, and finally it did.
in some situations, when pressing space to get out of cover, dude starts to climb over this cover.
why the hell would it do that, i have no idea. but it does. and this time that climb got me into napalm puddle and killed me.
does anyone know, maybe there's a way to fix this crap?
pressed with JUST long enough to be considered holding the button and agent decided to try to do a cover to cover move via going over the cover?
hmm. that might be it, right.
that's only thing I can think of
Instead of using the cover to cover key, just hit S and youll back out of cover
Pressing space initiates cover to cover, and if the path to the highlighted cover is to vault over your current cover, it will do so. So to be sure hold S and youll get out of cover on the side you’re currently on
ye, that's what's kirra suggested as well. seems a likely cause.
ive just unlocked ridgeway's pride part 2 project, where i need to farm named dudes and keys. does this project reset like the others, or does it stay?
it doesnt reset daily/weekly like other project, once you start it it will be there till you complete it
ok, phew. good to know ty
Is the pestilence debuff a team debuff or an individual one?
Oh thanks, I see. My friend explained this to me incorrectly.
How many parts of the chatterbox are there?
Got 2 but the "blueprint" says unknown because I didn't craft it yet...
And can I craft it right away or do I have to kill a named boss for the actual blueprint (like the Nemesis)
hey I just hit 40, when does it start showing my gear score instead of level? Does it not do that till relog?
gear score isnt a factor after WoNY
but everyone I see has a number between like 1000 and 5000 next to their name
not gearscore, thats shd level
wtf another stat to worry about, what fresh hell is this
remember that watch you yoinked from keener? yeah every level from here until the heat death of the universe gives you 1 shd level
up till 999 its put into one of the actual stats, 1000 on gives you a scavenging point.
your gear from here on is just level 40 gear, no need to worry about shd level as it'll go up, worry about your gear
didn't actually finish the campaign yet
finish the campaign and you'll yoink a watch, then you'll get shd levels
am I missing out by lvling up before finishing the campaign
like is any level increase gonna go to waste till then
if you are level 40 then yes
fastest way to lvl up shd?
heroic resource convoys with all directives
F10 is faster by far.
but it's abusey, and requires a team.
or, rather, heavily benefits from it.
Is it necessary that every item in my stash must be proficient?
Even the weapons or skills that I don't like to utilize?
No just the gear set
Kinda pointless if I don't like,say the firefly or trap skills to be proficient if I probably never use it again
Another newbie question: what is the fastest way for a new player to get the orange credits? Is there any farmable activity that rewards them? I'm not avoiding selling stuff but I still need to get all of the talents and stats for recalibration, so that doesn't always give me a good enough amount (usually around 1.5k, give or take).
Is oxidizer most effective against armored enemies or also against health-only enemies?
What's the most effective way to aim with the foam chem? Do I want to shoot at the enemies feet or do I need to hit them in their body? I sometimes feel like I hit them, or at least that they're inside the HUD circle, but they don't get foamed
If by armored you mean just armor (white bars) then both. For armor plating not so much. Aiming at the ground is alot more consistent than aiming directly at them, try to find the red line when u aim at the ground as that means it'll 100% foam them.
some enemies are harder to foam, also depending on your hud you can try aiming at the ground and check if there are 'red' lines indicating guaranteed hit, add radius mods if you want more flexibility
wait.. ive only done summit floor 0-100 once, but i have all the parts for ridgeway's pride. i thought i would have to run it many times to get them, was that changed at some point?
yeah, but i read that they dont drop guaranteed
so you will have to run the summit many times to get all the components
anyway, its all good 🙂
I mean, it's possible to get them in a single run. Just depends on if it's your lucky day or not.
well, i guess that could be it. looks like people ran it recently and didn't get any components
The skills you don't like, you make them proficient by donating materials (printer filament)
If you don't make them proficient your Expertise level wont be maxed.
Meaning: your favourite Skills/Weapons/Gear can't be upgraded till the (current) max level.
But like the other person said, it's on your desired level.
If you only want to upgrade to level 10 you don't need to be proficient with half of the items
Thanks for the explanation.
Currently level 9.
I just beat a legendary Stronghold with this build. (3 others, all skill build)
Any feedback?
I think this is pretty decent
Do u have the exotic liberty pistol?
Yes. I switch in and out of it whenever the team needs “tank” or “disable that fucking war hound for a second”
Nice
Does anyone know how too find the good times lmg I have one but I haven’t gotten another since
good times is a dz/pvp item, it can drop in dz, or come from named or conflict caches, also keep an eye on dz vendors as they may have them for dz credits from time to time
Ah that makes much more sense I’ve been farming it and getting pissed I couldn’t find it and no videos on it but thank you
how can i do the tidal basin normal mission? i cant change the stronghold mode and i need the mission for field research
should i dismantle duplicate exotics with worse stats than the ones i already have?
Nego
Floor 10
no. datagloves drop from white oak bosses.
chance ain't high, but still probably the best spot.
...they have a higher chance of dropping from black tusk, but they will still drop from anywhere else
You have higher chance on floor 10...
if they drop anywhere, then countdown should be better.
no...
all the guides i've seen said about white oak, and i got first of mine there, as well like 3 after those. but subsequent drops abide by different rules, so that's not really a datapoint.
however, drop rules change from year to year, so guide data might be obsolete.
as in, they still do drop in white oak in droves, but potentially there might be even better options.
tidal only becomes available if you do the 3 invaded missions, and the invaded stronghold, you can join someone else in their world if they have access to it, but depending on what you need as the task, it may not count for it if done that way
I believe what pencil' is referring to is the Named Enemies within a boss floor, and the rapidity at which you can repeatedly farm them out.
the final boss of camp white oak has a specific drop chance for the btsu of 7% on heroic, but depending on farm speed you will likely be better off with TL gloves, especially with btsu as its the only exotic in that slot the average farm time should be allot better
also for the locations and chances just check it on the reddit spreadsheet, they have it all sorted out and up to date, its under "Exotic Drop Locations and Chances"
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTJEX5DerCvOj3a_m36TRy1gPBAUvrduOIdmXI9j1Y0MpQk1wIXaZ9KOcPa7HzXzp_N5qGmjDj6yEfL/pubhtml#
As we like to say on here "skip the specific boss, go straight for the TL"
that's exactly what he means.
10F drops exotics at such a high rate that it beats any other method.
and with a good enough rng and team clear efficiency, can even beat out the 'guaranteed' exotic farm methods.
a 7% drop chance may seem decent, but considering you have to complete the entirety of Camp White Oak to roll that dice for the 7% chance, it's a lot worse.
Think of it this way; you have a 93% chance each run to not get the Exotic.
and there's no RNG protection afaik.
ye, sounds reasonable.
the exotics from that you get as the 4% random exotic for boss floor complete that do drop like candy at floor 10 farming, arent TL, so its not great for if you are after a specific piece, it is pretty good for components
if it drops, it drops, doesnt really matter how
the stats provide insight though so that can be factored in ofc
he is after a specific piece, that drop is not from targeted loot setting, so it is very unlikely to give him a btsu
The 2 main benefits of TL are as follows.
- each Directive added in slightly increases your chance for an enemy to drop the additional TL drop.
- it can come from any enemy that dies, not just the boss.
the many times ive had people wanting something specific and me getting it to them quickly... might have spoiled my perceptions of it i guess then
still increases chance
TL also exists in summit
more clears, more chance (?)
yes and you have 2 sources of exotic drops
keep a tally on your next farm howmany of the exotics you get in a farm run match your TL, most are coming from that mission complete reward, and when that triggers it to give you an exotic, that is from the exotic pool that the exotic caches use, not targeted loot, so its full random
might you also get a exotic drop triggered from targeted loot, sure, but its not the bulk of the exotics you are getting
also with how you only get the boss drop once for floor 10 xp farming, you are way better off in countdowns abundance of TL drops over it if you need a specific ting over just components
6 exos in 30mins if good rng
u have an abundance of TL in floor 10 too...
again, good for comps, not for getting a specific one, third time ive said that now
At the end of the day, RNG is RNG.
now kiss and make up.
so your claim is that its a good idea to farm something that will mostly give you a random exo from a pool of 30-ish items, that that is a good choice for trying to get a specific piece over targeted loot especially when there is only one exo for gloves.
What would be the best substitute for the Memento backpack, as my rng is trash and I just can't get my hands on it
Fourth time saying it. I know it's kinda surprising but targeted loot exists in summit.
and that is the point, most of the exotics you get floor 10 xp farming will NOT be from targeted loot
depends on what the build is you are using/planning to use it for
for a red build a ceska/grupo/provi backpack with vigi is the common choice
Heroic has 2 sources of exotics
Yeah it's for a Hunters Fury build
Wait, does the exotic gloves only drop on skill tier?
If so, I got the good attributes in the library for it-
I read,like some items only drop on skill
heroics can give 2 drops at the the end of mission reward, a 4% exo and a guaranteed TL, dropping to challenging will only give you that TL piece, as i believe on challenging there isnt a % chance at that extra exo drop
could you get lucky and get a TL exo, sure, but its just one TL drop, this isnt about if its possible, its about if its viable over other methods
Alr bet, time to farm challenging tomorrow full time till gloves
in #td2-build-advice there is a spreadsheet in the pinned comments, that has a bunch of written guides to build, including some HF setups, as there are a few ways to go now after the intimidate nerfs
so propose a better method
countdown, as i said at the start, it drops allot of TL, as such while you wont get as many exotics overall, you are allot more likely to get one that is from your TL
or some of the other TL farming methods like the capital farm or floor 90 item farm, or just running anything that awards mostly TL
All of the exotics have set attributes. Just RNG for the roll %. You’re unable to recalibrate the exotic, you can optimize them though. You can reconfigure the exotic, but may or may not improve the attribute %.
F
Anyways the gloves look cool
Gotta get all of em exotics,
What does reconfigure do and how it works?
Purchase the reconfigure blueprint from Inaya after acquiring the exotic. Then you’ll need resources and an exotic component, from breaking down exotics, to reconfigure.
I anwered to a "agent in need" call and there was 3 guys on legendary difficulty mission. i got "endorsement" mid mission, What is that? the endorsement?
do i benefit from it in any way?
randomizes all rolls on a target item, could make 'em worse too. costs 1 ex component per attempt.
endorsements are part of the sheparding system, there isnt a real reward for using that system to help others other than a few commendations and their arm patches
every time you respond to a call for backup, if you stay around till you fill a certain amount of xp (think it was around a shd levels worth, 700k, but may be misremembering) you will get an automatic endorsement and the player you respond to can give a second endorsement (they will get a pop up or they can do it after from the social screen)
, you can only get one endorement per join,
and after the first 15 you will get your wings, you may have seen others with wings next to their shd lvl, that is from that
after that every 7 will net you another wings lvl up to 99, and the commendation at 1 and 25
also from the point you get your wings, you will also be able to see call for backup from people not at endgame, so you can help newbies or ppl lvling alts
thanks. im only shd level 38 so i have no idea of wings and such. love the game tough. like really love this!
what do you guys think is the fastest way to level shade watch? is there anything that stands out or is it gonna be "just do everything on the map and repeat" kinda thing?
F10 farm or heroic resource convoys with all directives
what does F10 mean?
