[supple jungle]

farm floor 1-10 or 10 over and over?

[bitter spindle]

no just floor 10

die at the end, resets floor

[supple jungle]

what's special about f10?

[storm river]

Fast

[inner tendon]

It's a "boss floor" (as is every 10 Floors in Summit), and since it's only 10 it's quick to reach.

[supple jungle]

gotcha. ill give it a go, thanks

[inner tendon]

Works best with a group, avoid farming it too much if you like your sanity.

[supple jungle]

oh yeah, i know i would get burnt out if i only did that for hours, but ill try it

[storm river]

I prefer leveling watch naturally while enjoying the game, but to each their own

[supple jungle]

for sure. but it would be very nice to get lvl 1000 to max out the watch. ill just try those 2 farms out and see how fast, boring or fun they are :p

[bitter spindle]

'avoid farming it too much'
Me doing pier 93 in div 1:

[supple jungle]

im not sure what that means as i didnt play much div 1, but ive farmed countless lvl 100 chars mapping in PoE so i can handle som farming too

[bitter spindle]

oh pier 93 was basically summit but no floors

[supple jungle]

i see

[bitter spindle]

honestly, I wish it was in div 2

[silk nova]

When I upgrade a proficient item, am I upgrading that specific item, or am I upgrading the stats on all items of that name?

[proper vault]

What's the best in-game activity get XP the fastest way and which difficulty?

[oak talon]

depends a little bit, but floor 10 with a competent group is unbeatable, solo i would say convoys, either is at the highest difficulty you can handle without losing too much speed, and with the most directives you can muster

commonly a 4 man floor 10 will be running at heroic with 9 directives to give a point of reference

[narrow kraken]

Does exotic gear exist?

[oak talon]

nope, its a conspiracy by the ominous they, its all lies and paid shills

if its an actual question, there is a full list of all exotic weapons and gear and how to get them in the spreadsheet in the pinned comment in #td2-build-advice

[storm river]

Specific item Im pretty sure

[sacred sigil]

only that specific item, alas.

I have a question, I’m planning to buy Divison 2 for 30 bucks. I’m a getting War lords of New York included?

[bronze storm]

I don't know if this is your case, but if its the Fanatical sale you are asking for, yes, you'll get WoNY and the other perks from the Ultimate Edition.

[bitter spindle]

does anyone know if that chest has something related to a cosmetic?

[loud saddle]

pretty sure it was a bp trophy I thought, IIRC

Hey Saph

[primal mason]

I did it 😄 At last. All Stronghold. All Legendary

I wish it show how much damage I tanked

Because it was a lot

[indigo marsh]

Gonna be a dumb question but is this apparel mask still obtainable somehow? If so how?

[inner tendon]

That is the "gunner" Mask, it requires you to own the Ultimate Edition and have completed the special 2nd tier of Spec Tree Research for Gunner.

[indigo marsh]

Thank you!

[narrow kraken]

Are there any chc core attributes for ar's?

[modern sparrow]

Perfect adrenaline rush is only on walker , harris gear backpack?

[modern sparrow]

Nope core attribute are all the same for AR second attriubute is changable
AR DAMAGE / HP DAMAGE

[oak talon]

yes, for most named perfect talents/stats its only going to be on 1 named item, with only a handfull of exceptions, you can always also check on the spreadsheet in the pinned comment in #td2-build-advice for the full list of of named gear and perfect talents to see what its all on.

[narrow jackal]

If I boost to New York without completing DC, will I be able to finish DC after I complete WoNY

[rare oxide]

best way to farm apparel keys?

start a 2nd char

[shy latch]

1. does "pulsed" from heartbreaker's count as a status effect?
2. Will it work with vindictive for the extra crit chance and dmg?

[oak talon]

anything that gets you levels fast, floor 10 or convoy farming if you are up to grind it out, otherwise just playing eny content that gives decent lvls/hour

[oak talon]

pulsed is not a status effect, its its own thing as it closer to a debuff , but its a standalone class as pulsed
and as such it wont trigger anything that triggers of off statuses

[rose bay]

Quick question I’m a new player to division2 and what happens if I buy an exotic blue print that says I can reconfigure it what will happen

[midnight osprey]

ask why is ammo dump (named badger tuff) is not listed in expertise?

[bitter spindle]

maybe because it's a crafted named item*

[midnight osprey]

iirc motherly love and named chest from petrov (i forgot its name) is listed on expertise

[bitter spindle]

then I have no idea

appareently expertising badge tuff holster also expertises ammo dump

[fallow inlet]

And let them know your looking for 1

[merry light]

Is optimization still not really viable? The latest I saw was a post from like 2 years ago saying "they were gonna fix it" but the materials cost still seems unrealistic

[pliant wharf]

mostly just farm for high enough rolls on easier to farm things.

so you dont need to optimize too much

some stuff though, just gotta suck it up

[merry light]

suck it up meaning, forget optimizing, or suck it up like go farm control points etc

[pliant wharf]

go farm for mats

often a chest or backpack.. can be so hard to get one with correct roll

[merry light]

I'm only just now getting into recalibrating and trying to wrap my head around it so that sounds a bit advanced for me atm

[pliant wharf]

lets say you want a chest with a certain talent, CHC, and CHD, but that brand drops with a blue core adn you want to roll it to red.

well getting a drop with high CHC and CHD and the talent (so you can recal the core) is tough. sometimes youa re just happy to get the correct rolls, even if a bit low.

that is where you just spend the mats and optimize it the rest fo the way.

[merry light]

and you have to deconstruct or otherwise extract the soul of like a dozen copies of that exact item right, that's the first mat listed in the required materials at the bottom

[pliant wharf]

but.. something easy... like a CHD hunter fury piece that you will keep red... just farm until you get one with a max weapon damage or crit damage, recal the low one, and you are done.

the library you destroy the piece, but can extract ONE of its attributes or talent into the library. then later, when you recalibrate, anything in your library you can apply to a different piece.

for optimize you increase the attribute values.

for expertise, you level items proficiency. as more items gain more proficiency levels (0-10) you cant expertise level. the expertise level is how high you can upgrade a piece you are proficient with (1-20) but.. its a minimal bonus on most stuff.

im not good at explaining this whole system

sry if confusing

[merry light]

that helps, was wondering how it worked with recal

This is my first time getting anything off items for my recalibration library. Been holding stuff since I hit 40

looks like I just go through each menu, core attribute, attribute, and talent, and see if there's anything I can get off any items

Or if any improvements are available

[pliant wharf]

yep.

[merry light]

and do that for every type till I can't get any more, then deconstruct everything left in my inv

[pliant wharf]

well deconstruct what is left ofr materials sure but also, remember you can also 'donate all junk' to the expertise tab as well

which is a good way to raise expertise

[merry light]

well shiz

prolly shoulda been doing that this whole time

[pliant wharf]

its a balance of selling (for cash), decon (for materials), donate (for expertise)

[merry light]

so donating contributes to my expertise for that exact item?

it doesn't seem like cash can be used for much correct me if I'm wrong

[pliant wharf]

i typically go through inventory and mark favorite anythign i want to keep.

then with everything else marked as junk, i goto library and extract as needed. then i donate junk to expertise. anythign left, i decon for mats... unless i run outa money, then i sell junk instead of decon for a few runs.

cash is needed for crafting , recal, etc

[dawn heath]

What to do after boosting?

[nimble spruce]

run WONY

[narrow kraken]

thoughts on this weapon? I just started running countdown a few hours ago

[true siren]

swap the CHD for damage to target out of cover and its a decent SMG

[fair bone]

Stage 5 gunner research is truly a PITA

[inner tendon]

I'm going to assume Basilisk?

What I did was craft the lowest damage pistol I could, change the Difficulty to above Normal, and just keep using stuns on him while I slowly picked away.
and it still took 2 tries.

[fair bone]

yeah Basilisk

I'll probably leave it there for a while, that kind of challenges ruin the fun

[sacred sigil]

dunno. i did first try. heroic, baker's dozen (but any precise single shot weapon will do).

he's got huge pouches on the parts that are still armoured, so it's quite easy to see.

[indigo marsh]

yeah it just require patience

[crisp yew]

I just hit 40 and finished the mission in NY... where should i begin to solo grind?

[sacred sigil]

go back to DC, set global difficulty to challenging, and just start doing whatever suits you. side quests, out-of-city areas if those weren't available before, capture points, bounties, etc.

bits of current manhunt that are on the map, too. final missions of each map segment are difficult to solo, so those may wait.

after you progress current season to a certain point, old manhunts would become available as mission options, with fun extra skills like EMP sticky, repair trap, etc.

Hey Kettle, Aspect.

Ive never played division 1, is it worth checking out or should I just stick to 2

[white tapir]

is liberty pistol in loot pool now?

[narrow kraken]

Yes

Wait I forget if you have to craft it first lol

That would suck

[balmy trench]

can you do hunters on any difficulty and get the mask?

[autumn panther]

Can I advance to WT5 by getting someone to drop items for me?

[true siren]

no, still have to do the strongholds

[rotund sonnet]

No

[oak talon]

its a questiline exotic, as such you need to get the blueprint before its added to your loot pool

[oak talon]

all the exotics that come from crafting, so stuff like liberty, nemesis and chatterbox, arent in the general loot pool till you get access to the blueprint

[dusk vortex]

DCH and also Regulus

[crystal frost]

Shock trap/blinder fly and oxidizer chem (+ foam grenades)
Use status effects (build if you have)
Not skill damage (or maybe a couple)
Without the skill damage it will take a while but all his armor will be destroyed at the same time.
And he will not die of the oxidizer so you can kill him (with a headshot if I remember correctly)

[cyan python]

I came back to the game after a year or so and I upgraded my GPU in between, so is it just me or are crashes much more frequent nowadays ? Like I can barely finish a mission without crashing first

[loud saddle]

ya, crashing is common at the moment. it's hit or miss on whether you're affected or how bad you experience it but it's there. they recently released a "fix" for the major cause of the crashes but there are still some other lingering causes they should be looking in to as well. fingers crossed

[burnt pine]

If I load special ammo to my weapon just before Countdown starts, will it be carried over to it or will everything get reset?

[sacred sigil]

it was much worse before the last update, so like most of spring and summer.

these days it's more dependant on personal configuration. some people have it worse than others.

[burnt pine]

I'm in the same boat as you. Far more frequent crashes.

In my experience with the new mode Countdown, there is a 40-50% chance the game will crash before I finish it.

[sacred sigil]

any area switch drops special ammo. like going to NY, or to pentagon, or countdown, etc.

[jade garden]

i have a problem with the man hunt i killed all 4 mini bosses but i cant give faye lau key 2 idk why

[ionic terrace]

So the in the division 2 the buy season tiers went live and I spent the 3000 creds to finish the season but never got my rewards it shows the creds were spent but my season went back to level/tier 75

[loud saddle]

have you logged out/in yet after that?

[ionic terrace]

I stayed in game for a bit like 10-15 mins and nothing happened

I then logged out restarted the game and then it went back to 75 with my I creds I spent still gone

[loud saddle]

screenshot the transaction history/record (you know just keep proof of purchase and such) and give it a day to see if it's just going really slowly. after that it nothing I'd say open a support ticket.

[ionic terrace]

Alright

[loud saddle]

just want to make sure you got it all documented so there are no "well we have no history of such a transaction" type responses.

[cyan python]

Uh, that's a Ubi game being a Ubi game I guess lol. My PC is pretty overkill compared to the recommended specs yet I still get stutters whenever there are a lot of particles or explosions

[burnt pine]

Does anyone know (or has datamined) the percentage change of Rogue Agents attacking after you've taken over a control point?

[pliant wharf]

whenever you mindlessly leave the CP without restocking ammo, they will appear =)

really though, im curious as well.

[oak talon]

there arent any real numbers for stuff like that, as for the most part, the rng system is quite convoluted, this is also the reason we dont have great numbers for loot drops and such except for hard set numbers (like the 4% for heroic mission complete exotic, or %-tages for bosses to drop specific exos).

by guess i would say 1 in 6-8 feels about right, but is just a guess born from experience,
one thing you do have to do, is to fire off the flare in the assault phase, before you clear that out, for it to be possible to give you rogues

and heroic would seem to increase chances over hard, as i have farmed many hard cps back in the day for my purple builds, and there it was closer to 1 in 15 by my guess

[loud saddle]

I'd like to know the percentage or formula it runs when you enter proximity of an inactive open world activity area and if it will get rogues or not....

cause there's like 2-5 safe houses in general really close to open world activity areas and I swear, they get rogues CONSTANTLY

it'd be interesting to know the formula, if there's a set in stone cool down period, or it just runs the algorithm every time you get within distance of a zone. and I don't even think it needs to be 100% clear cause I've had a few locations where rogues fought with roaming named enemies or engaged other factions at territory controls and such (like the area immediately north of castle)

[narrow kraken]

Hey, question.. so im in need of alot of polycarbonate for expertise. Ive seen alot of people say solar farm and then loot the boxes in that area. But, dont they reset like each day?

So, is this like a do it once a day and then go back grind countdown or something?

[pliant wharf]

they reset daily per character afaik

if you have a quick load-time, you can also flip CPs early in the week, then travel around grabbing the 4-6 mat boxes in each.

[sacred sigil]

if you have the need and the patience to get it X times as fast, make X dudes, run the solar with all of them.

but it's not a very entertaining process.

[narrow kraken]

😩😩😩 i rather not

Thanks for the answers tho

[balmy trench]

anyone if thers like an in-game time app?

becasue time is always the same right?

[solid grove]

Hey guys, If ive beat the game first go and made it to level30, is a bad idea to boost, in order to start expansion? Or is that ok?

I would really appreciate the feedback/insight

[loud saddle]

you'll only be skipping the world tier portion of the leveling system which isn't a huge thing. you do miss and learning a bit about one specific faction early on but you'll encounter them later on so not a huge deal. note any side missions and such not done already when you boost will be auto-completed and you cannot revisit them. you'll also be stuck in NY until you finish the WONY campaign.

[solid grove]

Hmm ok ok. My reasoning for wanting to boost is to be able to take advantage of the season pass reward tiers that I paid for before its over, since I started a little late. I have to beat WONY to get those, right!

right?*

[loud saddle]

yeah, you'd have to beat wony

AND, gain 100 levels unless you buy levels

[inner tendon]

The levelling can be done in < a week either way, and WONY itself can be done in a matter of hours with a guide.

[solid grove]

Ok, rock on. Ill get started now then

Thank yall so much.

[loud saddle]

yeah, it's not that much of a crunch, still got some time to do it.

[inner tendon]

#lfg-xbox will help out if you're lucky, or just call for back-up.

[solid grove]

Should I wait until Ive finished everything to clan up - or would that be a better way to get the hang of it all?

[loud saddle]

back-up should work well since anyone looking to complete shepherd rank before season ends prolly has it turned on automatic answer

[solid grove]

Im actually surprisingly decent at the game and have done pretty well, so far, soloing it. I come from the Destiny2 community, but this is definitely different

[inner tendon]

Ah yeah calling for backup isn't really about you being bad or not, it's just that the people who join are almost always going to be max level and thus quite good at the game.
aka: able to carry you through missions and levelling at warp speed.

[solid grove]

Ohhh, ok - I see! Yea, that makes sense. When I call for backup, do I just chill and wait for someone to show? Easy as that?

[inner tendon]

Just keep on playing, it'll eventually either have someone join or time out.
make sure your group settings in Social > Open Group are set to that, and once you get someone in your team, send out another call to get more.

[solid grove]

Ok, rock on! Thank yall so much! I really appreciate the help

The D2 community is insanely helpful and supportive and things seem similar over here

[inner tendon]

Guardians+Agents have gotta stick together.

[solid grove]

Haha Rock on

[nimble spruce]

buying the season pass doesn't give you extra season levels, it just gives you extra rewards for the season levels you've already gained

you still have to level normally

[loud saddle]

I think he means he bought the levels to complete the reward track (I guess we've reached that point in the season where they've unlocked that option again)

[solid grove]

What I mean is that I beat the season pass and the season pass looks set to end shortly, so I wanted to get to a point where I can start getting those rewards before the season pass(Hidden Alliance) rewards tier ends

[loud saddle]

sorry, not you OTDub, AgentBluefin, he's missing some levels/rewards.

[solid grove]

Ohhh. Got ya. My bad haha

[loud saddle]

you good, no worries

[solid grove]

Oh, quick q: how do I use the sig weapon? I picked technician, so Ive got this rocket launcher thing, it looks like.

[loud saddle]

for rocket launcher you just aim, it'll auto lock up to 6 targets (or 6 rockets on 1 target) and u just press fire and pew pew pew, u blow urself up (sry, running joke with the techie launcher)

[solid grove]

Haha its all good. I meant how do I equip it? I have xbox and no button seems to equip it

[loud saddle]

do you have it equipped already? I forget if that's one u gotta complete the field research for first or not. (it's been awhile)

[pliant wharf]

if its on your back, hold Y

[loud saddle]

there are 3 you gotta complete the field research for (pretty sure techie is one of them)

[solid grove]

Ohhhh. Ok, cool. Ill work on trying to do that, then.

[pliant wharf]

when you fire, aim up.

[loud saddle]

^

headstones for those blowing themselves up with it are getting expensive....

[solid grove]

Haha ok, will do!

You guys are great. Thanks, yall!

[solid grove]

Advice way to take out drones/fireflys? These are new to me haha

[modern sparrow]

i see some skills in experise section but i dont have it

like healing trap

where do i get those anyway?

[loud saddle]

those are skills obtained through the seasonal manhunts

emp sticky, shrapnel trap, heal trap, and achilles pulse, IIRC.

[loud saddle]

honestly if it's a drone I shoot it, and it's a firefly and I know I can't shoot it I just look down/away (not sure if that actually works but I'm not blinded often). there's some skills you can use like the emp pulse or w/e it's called IIRC. (jammer pulse?)

[solid grove]

Ok cool cool. I just wondered if there were certain guns that were ideal for drones

[nimble spruce]

I never knew that was a thing, buying levels

[ionic terrace]

I own the season just never got what I bought my pass reset to the level I bought them from with my credits being gone still

[foggy needle]

yup end of every season, you can buy season levels to advance. if you didnt get what you paid for, you need to contact support as they are the only ones that can help you. Links pinned in #unofficial-troubleshooting channel

[ionic terrace]

Yeah I’ve contacted support and opened a ticket already just waiting for them now

[modern sparrow]

so i cant get them anymore till the ReRun?

[foggy needle]

you can still get them. you need to unlock their mission viva the season track, then go do the mission to get the skill.

[scarlet stream]

will you unlock the skills if you join someone that has that mission? Just curious

[modern sparrow]

[loud saddle]

I thought that was a thing, where if you don't haev it unlocked and join someone who does the chest wont grant u the skill? that still true?

[frozen pumice]

Still looking for the best way to farm Nightwatcher named mask

[foggy needle]

same as 95% of gear, farm its target loot

[frozen pumice]

Does it normally take almost 2 hours to see it drop

[foggy needle]

its RNG

so you can get it in 5 minutes or could take days, or anywhere in between.

[frozen pumice]

Well I'm trying to not be "toxic" and farm the first few hunters in countdown... they seem to drop random named items and the targetted loot which has a chance to become named right

[hidden frost]

you can always farm it solo or w friends instead of match making

[foggy needle]

countdown or summit is best place to farm the target loot, but its still RNG.

[frozen pumice]

Is there a % chance of if a targetted loot becomes named?

[foggy needle]

yes but exact number is unknown

[frozen pumice]

ah okay! ty

[oak talon]

hunters arent great for farming a specific named, the nameds they are garantueed to drop is from named item drop source not from targeted loot source, as such its full random, they might also drop TL along side their named drop, that can be a TL named, but its only 1 TL drop

you are much better off actually running the full cd and its more likely to drop from a normal enemies loot+TL drop

[frozen pumice]

named item drop source not from targeted loot source ; what does that mean sorry

[oak talon]

the guaranteed named they drop is full random, its doesnt consider what you have your TL set to at all, if you are after a specific piece you are much better farming somewhere where you are getting alot of targeted loot drops over trying to get it from them at full random rates.

[sacred sigil]

in cd they often drop 2-3 TL items.

[oak talon]

they can drop a TL drop along side it, same as with a random drop, but the 100% droprate named they drop is not considering TL

also at full random you may even get the named you are after as the named they drop, and it will be showing TL on the drop on the ground, with either one named drop with it showing TL, or 2 drops as the named + a TL piece as 2 TL,
but that is just how the hud works, it will show TL aslong as it matches TL, not if its actually from that source.
but the rates of it are considerably lower than just farming TL drop. just because the named pool is pretty big

[pulsar latch]

So to get the exotic holster (cowboy one where you buy the blueprint to start) you need to start with Riverside gas station for the first part, but for me that control point is friendly

[sacred sigil]

you can reset all the cps on the map, it's in global settings.

in fact, ideally you should do that from time to time to farm new caps, for blueprints and field recon and fun.

[pulsar latch]

Thank you!

[frozen pumice]

I'm guessing it's best to just fully finish it because you can currency a named item cache for a 1/X chance too

But just to clarify there's no guarenteed targetted named loot drop npcs right?

[foggy needle]

not farmable ones no

[oak talon]

yeah, and also countdown is still the best place to farm a specific named, as you get tons of TL drops from the normal mobs and the ton of bosses

[oak talon]

yeah, none of the sources that guarantee a named item drop (cd hunters, final rogues, manhunt minor targets) will be based off of targeted loot

[white tapir]

[oak talon]

in the pinned comments in #td2-build-advice there is a spreadsheet, in the hub tab of it there is a pvp build guide, most of the versions in that will work with any AR including EB

[summer barn]

Is there a ||Hunter|| in Pathway Park Subway? I swear I just saw someone in shadow that vanished the next flicker of lighting..

[fair bone]

eh why did I just get a delivery to my mailbox? is that because I forgot to spend the event stars?

[oak talon]

dont believe you will get anything for the missed event stars, more likely any unclaimed caches from the GE reward track

[fair bone]

oooh right I forgot to claim those too

[narrow kraken]

Should I farm floor 10 on heroic or legendary

[oak talon]

mostly its done on heroic, legendary cant be done at a reliably fast enough speed to be worth the extra xp it gives

[remote shadow]

how do you fix the glitch where you cant enter the door to the president at the beginning?

[timid vessel]

when someone calls for backup, sometimes I can just hit 'm' and it'll jump me into the grp, other times the 'm' won't show. why is that?

[fluid sapphire]

how do I pick where to farm for a given exotic?

[true siren]

Depends if its crafted or not- if its crafted, gotta get the blueprint first. If its not crafted, targeted loot

[fluid sapphire]

kk; afaik it's not - the crafted ones are the ones that require you accumulate the pieces, yes?

iunno, I'm just trying to get a coyote's mask so I can start building a red build .-.

[true siren]

Some have a small quest or whatever before you can get the peices, some have quests that lead you to the peices- Coyote's isnt one, so just farm mask targeted

[fluid sapphire]

does summit work well for that, or just challenging control points whenever it shows up on the map?

[true siren]

Summit, countdown, control points, as long as its mask targeted loot

[fluid sapphire]

[latent plinth]

anyone have any idea why my friend could be getting frame drops/stutters?

or what kinds of issues can cause stuff like that?

[merry light]

can anyone tell me what this is

[stiff lance]

Poison.

[merry light]

every time it hit my cpu spiked to 100% and my fps tanked. GG.

[stiff lance]

When specifically does he experience frame drops/stutters?

[latent plinth]

hes on the intro mission approaching white house and its stuttering before combat

[tacit forum]

Is their a co op story mode in this game or is it single player just wondering since I usually play single player games

[latent plinth]

u can play the campaign single player or co op

[tacit forum]

Oh nice

[stiff lance]

Is that the only time? Or does he stutter in general while playing the game?

[latent plinth]

its crashed multiple times and hes only gotten that far so idk but he didnt say anything about stuttering in character select if that helps

[tacit forum]

The game just went from a 3 hour download to a 2 I am happy

[latent plinth]

ik crashing is a separate issue but i rarely if ever see stuttering

[latent plinth]

update: stuttering seems to be more while moving, and much less if any while stationary, even if in combat

if that means anything to anyone

[narrow kraken]

my stuttering issues stopped a while back, also started using ISLC

very nice piece of software, should look into it

[latent plinth]

whats that

[narrow kraken]

"Intelligent Standby List Cleaner" basically lets you free up memory or set it to automatically free it up. Google could probably explain it better

I run it religiously for this game

[latent plinth]

ah ok ill have him look into it, thanks

no issues with other games/programs since using it?

[narrow kraken]

nah, it's very lightweight. It doesn't touch anything long term

https://www.wagnardsoft.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1256

that's the updated one I think

[latent plinth]

awesome, sounds like it might help the issue

thanks

[narrow kraken]

is this worth buying

[inner tendon]

If you like cosmetics and have disposable income: it seems to be a pretty good deal.
Although sometimes there are "Premium Credit" sales, so it's worth noting.

[narrow kraken]

are the discounts that good

[jaunty dust]

support cosmetics

[inner tendon]

I don't think they sell ingame footstools or lifts.

[inner tendon]

I mean, they're alright I personally don't see the need, you get plenty of great free ones by just playing the game.
But if you want to support the game and have excess money laying around, I say go for it.

[storm river]

Anyone have an sc of that mask??

[inner tendon]

You can preview it ingame if you go to that menu, the prompt is on the bottom of the screen.

[frigid rain]

anyone know why the option to purchase season leveks isnt working? i bought 1 lvl just to be safe but hangs with Season Rewards Pending and then reverts to pre purchase lvl after relogging

[foggy needle]

sounds like a bug, youd need to contact support (links pinned in #unofficial-troubleshooting

[frigid rain]

i actually did contact support already. trying to get 15 lvls worth of premium back as i was lvl 30 and froze when i logged back in it reverted to season lvl 15 but the currency i had was gone

just figured id check to see if its happened to others. luckily i didnt go ham like i used to

[foggy needle]

If you already contacted support, then you just have to wait for a reply.

[scenic mauve]

Wait you can buy season levels?

[inner tendon]

Once a Season is almost over: yes.

[scenic mauve]

[fallow inlet]

Hey Rivens, Heart,

[frail fog]

What do I do if I got all the apperal event items and didn't get this

[devout coral]

hey guy's, how do i get the nemesis blueprint, if fifth week the grand washington hotel is not invaded?

i already have the 4 parts for it

[loud saddle]

does the cache say 20/21? should need to get one more key and open another cache.

[frail fog]

yes

[loud saddle]

yeah, the hoodie was added back in this morning after an update (was delayed until then) so you could've completed event earlier but now will say 20/21

[foggy needle]

You need the blueprint for it to drop for you. Otherwise you have to wait for the blueprint OR join a buddy who already has it and have them farm it for you. Invaded hotel is sadly a RNG feast.

[devout coral]

you mean to drop the nemesis itself for me? not the blueprint as they cannot get the blueprint either

once i have it the craft npc will sell the blueprint probably, this sux

[foggy needle]

yes the weapon. IE they farm it for you while group and give you the weapon once it drops. The blueprint that locks the drop for the crafted exotics is the main blueprint (not the one sold by the NPC, that’s just an upgrade one).

[tulip hollow]

Ok
Showdown at high noon saloon
I've tried to get it twice but no cigar
Any one got tips?

[inner tendon]

Try travelling away, and then returning some time between 11:30 and 11:45. Not too early, or too late.
and just walk there from a distant enough Fast Travel.

[tulip hollow]

Got to the bar at 12:15

Is that the problem

[inner tendon]

See the word "noon"? That means 12.

[tulip hollow]

Yeah

[inner tendon]

So have to be there, ready to go at Noon.

[tulip hollow]

Ah

From what I've seen I thought the sweet spot was like 12:15 to 12:30

[inner tendon]

Note: it can be glitchy. I did it with a newbie friend ages back, arrived at 12:01 and it worked.
but 20 minutes before is a safer window.

[tulip hollow]

Gotcha

[chilly pecan]

Does the Pestilence talent work against heavies with their kevlar?

[tulip hollow]

Thank

[chilly pecan]

pestilence y

[inner tendon]

Hits apply a debuff dealing 100% weapon damage over 10 seconds. This stacks up to 50 times.
Whenever an enemy dies with this debuff, all stacks are transferred to a nearby enemy within 25 meters."```
I don't see anywhere that says it won't. Since it doesn't count as "Armour", just "plating". It's Health, kinda.

[chilly pecan]

Sickkk alright thanks 🤙

[silver eagle]

anyone lost wony? i cant go there

[foggy needle]

try restarting the game

[frank flicker]

Hi there o7 Any build idea for someone who just unlocked his SHD watch please ? Thank you

[silver eagle]

thankyou, what was that?

[foggy needle]

hu?

like what was "restarting the game" ?

[silver eagle]

no, like we can't access WONY. that 1st time

[foggy needle]

ah, well it was just a bug

[rain echo]

if anyone cares heres how i stopped my crashes idk if anyone dose the same

[storm river]

It does damage to the plate armor yes

[storm river]

#td2-build-advice has a spreadsheet pinned with tons of options

[frank flicker]

thx a lot

[uncut warren]

Has someone not done the weirdo and drama mask bc I did it in my world but never got the weirdo and now I can’t do it again

[clear mountain]

Does expertise upgrading fire sticky or firestarter increase their burn damage or just initial explosion dmg?

[eternal pollen]

anyone know why the 3 specializations arent able to be activated even after purchasing the year 1 thing with premium points?

[craggy glacier]

Firewall, gunner and technician

[eternal pollen]

yes

[true siren]

have you restarted your game?

[past creek]

I have all the parts for the liberty exotic pistol and a D50 but no blueprint?

[foggy needle]

That means you haven't completed the liberty pistol project, go finish that to get the blueprint

[past creek]

what project I dont see one in the projects tab?

[foggy needle]

Buy it from the blue print vendor chick at white house

[past creek]

from Inaya?

by the crafting bench

shes not selling any

[foggy needle]

Then you have the project but not completed. Iirc the spreadsheet has a guide on how to get the crafted exotics

My bad that's dodge city exotic, you get the blue print from the space hq mission boss

Check your crafting bench, you probably already have the blueprint

[lost pier]

Is the Striker gear still OP?

[foggy needle]

Never was

HB still op though pve

[narrow kraken]

If anyone wants lady death fast grind use this

New York named boss

[storm river]

Targeted smg is faster

If the region targeted is a different item than smgs, you wont get it

[oak talon]

those NY named world bosses still have the lady death as a specific drop source, so they can drop it,
but nowadays with targeted loot it is so much faster to go farm TL, as those bosses are also on a timer and its only 3% chance per kill

[sage niche]

@narrow kraken that's the OG way which is no longer relevant

[past creek]

Do you get ironworks base materials from the raid?

[timid vessel]

if multiple ppl call for backup is there a way to choose which bkup to respond to? how?

[bitter spindle]

Go to your map

[burnt pine]

Vile always rolls with Hazard Protection, right?

[true siren]

All exotics roll with the same attributes, the only thing that changes is the percentages.

[burnt pine]

Thanks

[true siren]

of course

[latent plinth]

never seen this before, any idea if its still obtainable and how?

[inner tendon]

Was part of an Event, if you can't buy it in the store then it's gone.

[fallow inlet]

Hey Aspect

[latent plinth]

damn unfortunate

[clear mountain]

Oki thanks sad the firestarters dot doesn't increase :/

[agile agate]

Hi
Can you help me get the Nemesis out of Summit?

I have to wait 3 weeks to get them. Would you give them to me from Summit? (PC)

[pulsar latch]

Question lads, if you have let's say ...6 builds or more (I'd expect you guys would) how do you keep track of them, I know you can save them but they still need to be in your inventory? If you put a piece away the build is incomplete?

And having 140 pieces on you seems extreme

[dim crag]

Nemesis can't drop in open world before you craft it

[oak talon]

theres tons of ways of keeping track, on one character you will likely just remember what is what as you use the builds, you can also help with sorting it somewhat by types

for instance i have all my red builds in the first few slots, and then all the tank build at slot 14-15-16 and such

with yellows in the middle and hybrids in between the two colours they are, atleast as much as possible

but you can also overdo it like i do and make a whole build collection that you can reference out of game like i have here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1LPnA18PDgGg_dEbNI1kZVTVIMGXNHQS_

and you dont have to keep all the pieces on you, some builds you dont need often and you can store those in stash, theres even a way for it when looking at loadouts, there is a button to bring up loadout options, and selecting send to stash,
any builds that have any pieces in the stash you cant equip out side of safe areas near a stash, but if you need the build you just load the loadout near a stash and it will equip everything from the stash without needing to move it over yourself

[pulsar latch]

And let's say you're in your stash and you select a build, will it pull it from the stash to your inv?

[oak talon]

yeah, if pieces of it are in the stash, aslong as you are in a safe zone with a stash, it will automatically move the pieces from stash and equip them, you dont even need to be in the stash menu, jsut nearby one

[pliant wharf]

it prompts you 'parts are in yoru stash, do you want to fetch them' or somethign along those lines

[storm river]

Which is why he’s asking someone else to run with him and drop it once he gets one

[inner tendon]

I believe they were confused by the fact that someone posted an LFG post in here. Understandable.
@agile agate Please stick to the LFG channels for finding groups.

[ivory sundial]

Open map > switch tabs to the exclamation icon > multiple blips show who is calling and where

[merry light]

What is HB, I don't see that in the list of acronyms

great the wiki I've been using for a list of gear sets doesn't include that one, wonder what else it's missing

[foggy needle]

wiki is outdated, use the pinned spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice that is kept up to date.

[merry light]

so if I'm struggling with solo pve I should follow the "Heartbreaker (TU15)" link in Evernote from there

cause I've been trying smg with HF and not lasting long on my own

[fierce adder]

Its best to use a build that suits your play style and that might mean experimenting with a few till you find one that fits you. So yes, try it out, but also try different talents or skills with HF. Sometimes small changes make a huge difference

[merry light]

I'll save the build and play with it later on down the road, right now I need something that works right away

[fierce adder]

ok, what's your play style?

[merry light]

I don't know that I have one

[fierce adder]

awesome, then all builds are open to you!!

[merry light]

use cover, make like a prairie dog, play whack-a-mole, aim for the head, try not to get shot. That's The Division.

[fierce adder]

If you want advice on your HF build, I currently run Technician specialisation, spotter on a ceska chest, bloodsucker on a grupo bp, and crits all over. I use a Vector .45acp with flatline and the linked laser pointer and run like the wind

[merry light]

If I want to switch to AR but I've smashed every one I've ever picked up, should I craft a police m4 or just farm for a decent one with targeted loot?

[fierce adder]

Maybe a skill build would be good for you. Try farming 4 True Patriot with skill damage so you can roll a skill tier on, use a Wyvern chest and the Memento bp. I use a Test Subject with mine and an M1A with in-sync

[fierce adder]

Police M4's are good. Hit countdown with AR's as targeted loot and you'll have as many as you want in a couple of runs

[merry light]

haven't tried countdown yet I haven't been 40 for long, am I likely to survive countdown? I've done summit a bit

[dense kayak]

there's 7 other people in a countdown run

ya just gotta not get shot

[fierce adder]

Countdown is fun, you will die at first like all game modes. You can respawn until the extraction fight when, you die, you out. But you keep all the loot you've picked up

I have a friend who ran a whole countdown without firing a shot. Just hoovered the loot

[merry light]

but I can't start countdown solo right, I'm not seeing an option to fast travel there

[fierce adder]

no you either have to matchmake or create your own like in a raid

[dense kayak]

it's like a raid.

you setup a lobby, just don't matchmake and start it up

[fierce adder]

although, if you recently got to 40 and haven't counted down I'm guessing you haven't raided yet either?

[merry light]

when you say create your own I don't know what you mean

haha right

[fierce adder]

ok, from your map, open the countdown menu

at the bottom of the screen there is a create raid option or a matchmake option.

I don't know which buttons do the job on pc, but you will also have an option to select your targeted loot. It probably says at the bottom of the map screen when you hover over Pentaco

[dense kayak]

should be h

same as summit

[merry light]

yeah got it, so it'll be better loot than summit?

[fierce adder]

Its more loot. Have at least 50 spaces before you go

[dense kayak]

probably not better than flr10 legend farming

but vastly increased amount of loot

each hunter will drop a named item on death

[merry light]

can I do it multiple times or will I have to wait 24hr or something if I try it and get rekt in 2 minutes

[fierce adder]

nah, run it, clear your inventory and go again. as fast as you can

[dense kayak]

each run is like

15-20 minutes give or take

just don't rush ahead towards hunters

[fierce adder]

As you've never played before, be the guy who follows your sub group around and do what they do. Unless they have no clue, in which case learn from your next run

[dense kayak]

Essentially:

spawn in
disable the hunter directives
kill hunters

then do the objective rotations.

[merry light]

I can't group up with anyone atm

[fierce adder]

I'd say its like challenging difficulty+ but not heroic level

[dense kayak]

it's challenging

the season 10 notes for PTS is out and in the difficulties for countdown, confirms that the difficulty we're on right now is challenging

[fierce adder]

the only reason I put a + on it is because most adds are goldbars

[fierce adder]

you can create your own and matchmake for 7 other random people

[merry light]

I can only do solo atm I might need to step away at a moment's notice so sounds like I should hold off on countdown for now

[dense kayak]

i mean you can do it in and leave halfway anyways

you'll still get the loot

also doing it solo when you haven't been 40 for long and are still trying to figure out your build is a

very bad idea

[merry light]

this game crashes more than modded fallout 4

[summer barn]

Is it still OK to like this game? I got hit by a landslide of yt videos with a laundry list of reasons ..I shouldn't...x.x

[merry light]

Any given pc game is only allowed to be popular for about 3 weeks, then the act of hating on it becomes more popular and everyone pins all their hopes and dreams on the next forthcoming cash grab

[burnt pine]

Every time I log in, I see this notification at the bottom left that I have 3 weekly challenge rewards available. Where do I find these alleged rewards?

[dense kayak]

ubisoft connect

[burnt pine]

Oh.

Thank you.

[fierce adder]

Yes. Yes it is

[merry light]

I played TD1 since launch and then Overwatch came out, they had to add an OW channel to the Division discord because of how badly it split the playerbase. And it's not even a remotely similar game

way she goes, boys.

[fierce adder]

Why play other games when Division is out there?

[merry light]

I'm personally optimistic about Heartlands, but I already know what all the detractors are saying about it without checking

[clear mountain]

is it just me or does that say akira o-o

[inner tendon]

Neon shoes, makes sense there'd be an anime thing on there.

[marble radish]

can someone riddle me this

what missing intel

now may be a stupid question

but what keys

nope kelso isint even there and i dont think ive noticed any keys when killing the bounties

oh reloaded the game and more bounties appeared ok

[winged badge]

That's a typical bug. Reloading the game will solve "the decryption keys do not appear" bug.

[fair bone]

just got the Strategic Alignment bag, does it have any use or do I just dump?

[rain echo]

whast the fastest way to get mats to recalibrate guns and armor?

[oak talon]

its can be used in HE mortar explosives builds, but isnt necessary for it as you can also go grupo/empress BP on it, its easily refarmable so not worth keeping unless you are specifically planning on making that build

[fair bone]

Thanks, I need 20 copies to get a named item to proficient right? If so I might just keep it and use to get proficiency organically

[oak talon]

yeah, it is 20 items to get to proficient from 0 on named items

[sacred sigil]

if you play countdown a lot, you'll get some of these items done before you notice it.

and that includes strategic one.

but if you get a godrolled one, keep it for the aforementioned mortar build.

[fair bone]

how does the door right before the vault in Bank work? sometimes you can open it, and there's a box inside, and sometimes you cant?

[storm river]

Don’t let others decide what you like lol

[nimble spruce]

you can only open it if someone in your group got the key (hidden behind a wall panel in the office behind the first boss)

[true siren]

i'm glad you atleast know that

[sacred sigil]

in expanded activity stats there is an item "team damage", which is mostly equal to total damage done. but what does it really mean, and why is it called like that?

[jaunty dust]

can we talk about the PTS gear?

[jaunty dust]

nvm

[ashen kettle]

does the Hunters Fury debuff count as a status effect

[bitter spindle]

I am about to bust a nut

[jaunty dust]

The debuff aura is not status effect, the disorient is

[ashen kettle]

then why do people suggest Grudge for HF builds?

[jaunty dust]

Because disoriented enemy kills

[bitter spindle]

what is grudge

[supple swift]

Getting a kill on HF debuffed enemy disorients npcs around them.
Killing those with grudge procs a dmage buff

[jaunty dust]

Better take Scorpio, more guaranteed proc

[bitter spindle]

No like legit what is grudge

A weapon?

[jaunty dust]

Named Banshee

[bitter spindle]

Oh

[supple swift]

Adds some.chc and chd to entire team when killing an sfx affected enemy

[bitter spindle]

Oh yea the one that gives chc and chd

(literally forgot that existed lmao)

[jaunty dust]

Grudge is good early on when u lack CHC/CHD, sucks later because CHC can be easily capped

[bitter spindle]

I always saw it as 'The Grudge'

Grudge+Orbit=

lmao

No wonder I didn't know what it was

18% chc+35% chc and 18% chd+40% chd

[storm river]

Debuff and status effects are different, so no

[bitter spindle]

Anything that isn't affecting them physically does not count as a status effect

[storm river]

By that logic bleed and poison arent status, since they only tick damage

[supple swift]

bleed inhibits movement tho

[bitter spindle]

Also wdym poison

There's poison in this game?

[jaunty dust]

There's no good explanation, but pulse is not status effect (used to be), poison and bleed is status effect.

[storm river]

Not on NPCs. At least not from what i noticed

[supple swift]

scorpio first shot
summit room that gives you dmg to health unless you press some button, usually green aura

[jaunty dust]

Poison, from those DC62 barrels and Scorpio

[storm river]

Scorpio 1st status, and some breakable objects cause poison. Directly damages health, ignores armor

[bitter spindle]

Oh didnt know that

Why no poison build

[jaunty dust]

Anyways no obvious way to differentiate between status effect and debuff

Unless u use vile

[storm river]

Icons. Red is debuff, orange is status

[jaunty dust]

There's also marks

Oh well, kinda confusing if a hectic battle

[storm river]

Count as debuffs

Red icon = debuff. Orange icon = status effect

[jaunty dust]

Depending on the colour temperature of the monitor, they might as well have the same colour

Kinda like green/blue

[supple swift]

because there arent many sources of poison for the player to apply to an enemy
the one available is scorpio and that is only from the 1st shot. it also isnt affected by status effects attributes but only from the amount of pellets hit

[bitter spindle]

F

Also ⚡ is blue

[storm river]

Deals very little dmg and scorpio is the only consistent source of it

[jaunty dust]

Poison is against convention, so no conventional poison stuff

Scorpio's flavour text mentioned it

[bitter spindle]

huh

idk man, we can burn people alive but we can't poison people

[jaunty dust]

thats how it is

[bitter spindle]

lol ok

[oak talon]

its not that hard, all the things that are status, are also part of the hazard stats on your resistances screen, with the exception of pulse and explosives

basically all the stats that HZP feed into

[chilly pecan]

what’s it mean by “unusual fireteam” in summit?

[bitter spindle]

They ain't your usual fireteam

[chilly pecan]

what in god’s name is a usual fireteam then lmao

what makes them so unusual?

[bitter spindle]

They have flamethrowers and stuff

Like black tusk using flamethrowers

Enemies that are using random weapons

Instead of faction specific ones

[jaunty dust]

er.. those really happened? (i never notice, but)

[bitter spindle]

Apparently that's what it is

[chilly pecan]

damn that’s crazy

[jaunty dust]

maybe we see white tusks with flamethrowers in leg tidal

lets see

[bitter spindle]

lol

[jaunty dust]

they need to buff the chainsaw guy

lets vote for it

[bitter spindle]

who?

They have a chainsaw?

[supple swift]

chunggas that deploy 5-10 bomber drones from their backpacks instead of bleed stingers for more fun

[bitter spindle]

lol

[jaunty dust]

very rare elite

[bitter spindle]

huh never noticed

[jaunty dust]

weak as hell, you probably only see them in WONY races

think of them as the hammer guys from outcast, but walk as slow as cleaner's big ass flamethrower guys

dont even have the armor of blacktusk chunkas....

[storm river]

Ok but jokes aside does it actually mean anything

[bitter spindle]

what

[frozen pumice]

is there an official reason to why BRAND is better than SLOT for peices that are the same # of named possibilities per selection. EX 2 Named Masks are the same as 2 Named in a Brand. EX: Nightwatcher is in Masks and 2 of the 4 masks are unobtainable. But in brand it's Nightwatcher and a Chest. Is there official confirmation that named items drop based on just if it's "targeted" or based on if the brand rolls, mask piece rolls, then to decide if it's named or not

[storm river]

Unusual fireteam

[bitter spindle]

One faction using other factions weapons

[storm river]

Ooooh. Ive never noticed that lol

[oak talon]

the unusual fireteams notifications means there is a named enemy at the end of that 3 floor section

that boss may be accompanied by the flamethrower or foam black tusk, as with all named bt fights in the summit, but its not what that is indicating

[oak talon]

because its not only the named, you arent getting named TL, but just all TL, the pools are larger per type than per brand

and no named item drop source considers targeted loot, they are full random

[frozen pumice]

Well when you set only masks as an example it spawns frequently, but the same with the gear brand. Targetted loot isnt a random loot pool for just regular drops it seems

[arctic tusk]

does Spotter work for your team too? aka, if i pulse an enemy, will people in my party get the damage bonus too?

[foggy needle]

Nope, only for you

[arctic tusk]

what would be a good chest talent for a medic then?

[narrow kraken]

FI Chest for a FI build or Empathic ig

[arctic tusk]

FI as in future intiative?

[narrow kraken]

yessir

[arctic tusk]

might just recal a chest to have empathic

just looking to level healer seeker mine for expertise so nothing too serious but still usable

another dumb question, what would count as "deployed" skills? only stuff like turrets? or would drones and seekers count too?

[foggy needle]

Stuff you can "Deploy" onto the floor

[arctic tusk]

seeker count for that? at least healing seeker?

[foggy needle]

Hive, turret, decoy, (maybe traps)

[arctic tusk]

saving this, ty

[foggy needle]

Don't remember about seeker, though super easy to test

[arctic tusk]

im really dumb but how

[narrow kraken]

.

[arctic tusk]

sorry, it's 12:34 and i need to sleep soon so im barely awake and can't think too much atm

farady?

also saving htat

[narrow kraken]

technician spec btw

[arctic tusk]

should have a buff icon when it's active right? and should be able to apply to yourself too right?

[foggy needle]

What he said ^^

Yes and yes

[arctic tusk]

sorry for all the dumb questions. i don't really mess around too much with the nitty gritty of this game despite being shd level 233 atm

[narrow kraken]

trust me if u want to see dumb questions just scroll thru #td2-build-advice

[supple swift]

The only thing worse tha n dumb questions there are the dumb answers/recommendations

[pastel lintel]

Can't seem to find out; Does the Cyber Blue vector skin work on the Dark Winter vector?

[frozen pumice]

Do directives increase chance for targetted to become named

[burnt pine]

What are some of the assault rifles with longer range?

Also, I'm still trying to figure out why I get shocked by own shock trap sometimes.

[jaunty dust]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nrPBmOrtpkEW1j5fbcRT7L-AXgsGOqMqxXoVtopsiGM/edit#gid=0

[oak talon]

that skin is for one of the other variants, it wont apply to the dark winter, that one is the .45 variant and the skin is for one of the 9mm variants

[oak talon]

indirectly by making it so more targeted loot drops alongside normal drops, the system is convoluted but currently the consensus is that it does not directly affect named (or exo) drop rates

[oak talon]

if you are in range of it when it is triggered by an enemy (rusher do this often) or is destroyed (explosives often) it will shock you, dont be in the circle is the common way to avoid it,

also its only you your traps can affect, your teammates are safe from the same mechanic

[pulsar latch]

Did the last 2 updated fix Dz loot allocation anyone know?

Updates**

[loud saddle]

AFAIK no, DZ target loot was still wonky/broken

[plucky mesa]

DZ updates coming season 11

[storm river]

C7

[fallow inlet]

Hey Nug

[plucky mesa]

HEY SAPH

[pulsar latch]

Is the corruption set only in DZ? Getting severely sweated on in there

[foggy needle]

it drops from DZ yes

rarest item drop in the game IMHO.

[dense kayak]

I still have my system corruption set from that season in stash. it shall remain there for rest of eternity

[tulip hollow]

Ok so for high noon saloon does it matter if I'm early?

[foggy needle]

yes, its very picky on the time. if you are early just wait outside , then get there on time.

[modern sparrow]

Is this season 9 or 10?

[dense kayak]

9

[rain echo]

cant wait for pts xD

[supple swift]

which region?
Not yet available on ours (SEA)

[rain echo]

NA

its a pre load cant load it right after gotta wait till it gose active

[supple swift]

i understand
i already did the old trick of copying the main game folder into a different directory as TD2 PTS

Just needed to know if i can start making the "download" progress

[rain echo]

well its available in NA idk about other regions

[pulsar latch]

Can Any dark zone vet here pm me got a few questions

[burnt pine]

Can please someone help me with what skills are affected by "Incoming Repairs" vs "Repair Skills"?

[foggy needle]

all skills are

Incoming buffs healing (from skills only) to your agents body (not shield). repair skills buffs all your skills healing regardless of what target they hit (ie can heal skills)

[burnt pine]

Thank you.

[marble radish]

ayo? shd 15k?

[foggy needle]

Yup

[loud saddle]

got a ways to go before he catches up with that 570k SHD dude 🤔 😂

[rain echo]

I was raiding with a guy who is over 27 k shd

[hollow viper]

What even is floor 10?

[ashen kettle]

floor 10 of the Summit, people usually farm it for gear and such

[frozen pumice]

Why floor 10 summit vs countdown though?

[rain echo]

Countdown is great to fame expertise levels and stuff summit is th fastest way to farm SHD levels

[arctic tusk]

how do people farm expertise? turning in stuff? I usually just go with mods for targeted loot and use the filaments then

[odd condor]

Both methods work, also gear and gun equipped level quickly because of how many elites there are in the mode

[latent plinth]

and here i thought c7 was gonna be the hardest ar to get thanks to locked talent

and my best rolls of the other ars im looking for are hot garbo

c7 doesnt have any sort of higher avg roll weighting to compensate for locked talent does it?

[frozen pumice]

you cant craft named items right? Or have a chance by crafting

[latent plinth]

unless ur crafting a named blueprint, the item wont be named

if u craft "police m4 replica" for example youll only ever get "police m4 replica"s, not pyromaniac

[frozen pumice]

So I'm trying to get Nightwatcher to roll HSD (which is beyond extremely rare). I've been doing countdown for 4 hours a day/3 days now. Eyes bleeding and burning out on it. Is this the most efficient way to do this?

[latent plinth]

gila targeted, spend cd currency on named items would be the way to go id imagine

ive been farming ars for 2-3 months now and those rolls above are still the best i have lmao, sometimes it really do be like that

[frozen pumice]

This is cancer lol

The two times it dropped red it was handling/crit chance 1/4 chance omg

Some other timeline id be enjoying the game not burning it for my ocd problems lol

[dull sun]

Hey, I'm doing regulus project and I was wondering if I complete the raid 2 with my second character, will it share IronWorks base materials with my main character ?

[fierce adder]

If you have purchased the shared materials blueprint from Inaya at the crafting bench, yes

[dull sun]

ok thx

[dark tiger]

So is there like checkpoint farming akin to Destiny?

[marble radish]

yes

[rain echo]

What time dose the pts go live ?

[ashen kettle]

what’s a good chest piece to use with a liquid engineer? is Intimidate still good or should i use something else?

[dusky prism]

i need big help for real here. playing DIV 2 on a 3060 ti and a r7 2700x and the framerate is usually perfect (capped at 165 for the refresh rate). but when say an explosion occurs and it injures ME, my AGENT. i get instant drops that stay at around 20 fps or so until the status effects or the screen smoke effects disappear then it stabilises straight back to 165. this happens also on status effects like bleed, stuck in foam, or disorient. shock not too much dropping but its still there
v-sync on and off doesnt change a thing

changing fullscreen and borderless changes nothing either

[oak talon]

have you already tried clearing the game's shader cache? i have been told by someone that had a similar issue that they got it fixed by clearing those out

[dusky prism]

do tell me how please

certain file locations is it?

[oak talon]

you can do this by deleting any dx (d11 dx12) folder you have at C:\Users\ <username>\Documents\My Games\Tom Clancy's The Division 2
the game will recalculate them at next launch, see if that fixes it

[dusky prism]

ill check that out after finishing the bounty, meanwhile thanks!

[dusky prism]

still there @oak talon

all was gangsta till i got foam status

[oak talon]

aw, sucks, just as its easy and may be a cause, also try verifying files trough the ubiconnect app, its in the properties menu of div 2 when you select it under games, if you havent already

if that doesnt fix it, try going in the graphical setting and turning most things to low, and see if that fixes is, if it does then you can start trouble shooting to find if its just one option and then work from there to fix it

[dusky prism]

will do

very low on the graphics yeah

[dusky prism]

ok

the very low graphics fixed it somehow

its gotta be one of the options then ill go experiment them all, thanks again! @oak talon

[storm river]

are CPs/landmarks the best field recon farm? not shd 1k yet so doing nyc speedruns for it isnt worth

[neat halo]

uhhh, this is a bug, right?

i completed the whole outcast set but didn't receive the weapon skin and gear dye

[storm river]

log out and in

[neat halo]

already done

[storm river]

also restart

[neat halo]

also restarted too

[storm river]

fixed it when it happened to me

[neat halo]

yeah it's not working for me sadly

[dawn heath]

Anyone having problem when buildings not loading in after 2 minutes of gameplay?

[storm river]

do attachments carry over between characters?

[arctic tusk]

for FI chest, do i have to do the raid to get it to the general pool, or is it already in it?

[oak talon]

not directly, but you can buy the share account blueprints on both chars and that will add all the attachment blueprints to the crafting bench of the new char, there you will still have to craft them for that char to have them aswell

[oak talon]

since the start of this season all FI and foundry chest/BP pieces have been added in the general loot pool, so its TL farmable without any requirements

[arctic tusk]

was wondering if my luck was just bad or not since i got everything but chest/backpack from a run from countdown. thanks for the info

[charred crane]

Is anyone else getting alot of crashes in the last 24 hours? Ran fine before that. Have checked files twice and still crashing

[bronze storm]

Are the weapon Talents always active? Or are they only active when aiming the weapon?

[true siren]

only active while holding the weapon, very few exceptions

[dusk vortex]

Special case mentioned is Vindictive; if you hit any enemy with the requirement you'll get the talent but if you kill it'll turn into a proximity buff

[burnt pine]

I've seen this issue often in Countdown. I'll see map icons for gold loot drops but I don't actually see them on the ground where they're supposed to be. Is this a bug or am I just missing something?

[narrow kraken]

Even the materials you can't pick up show up as "loot" on the minimap

As long as loot spawned there before

[sacred sigil]

not quite. what shows as yellow here is optimization materials.

it's not a bug, it's just an overcap on rare stuff.

[narrow kraken]

happened to me, i simply restarted and that's it, i had the warnings on my inventory

[burnt pine]

Ah OK, that makes sense. It's the same icon colour, hence the confusion. 🙂

[wise echo]

what is the brand that gives 15% buff for smg's and shotguns? like heartbreaker is for ar's and lmg's..
I accidentally deconstructed them and dont remember the name for it.

[tulip fiber]

Hunter’s Fury

[wise echo]

ty brother!!

[latent plinth]

any way to farm specifically green crafting mats?

also psa: the donate all button on expertise donates starting with ur lowest rarity, not the resource selected

[sacred sigil]

none that i've heard about. regular solar farm runs grant more green anyway.

and any excess of blue can be dumped into SHD crafting at an utterly insane rate.

[latent plinth]

yeah i was trying to donate my excess blue but donate all doesnt donate all of the selected resource i guess

solar farm here i come

do crafting mat drops from stuff like solar farm scale with world difficulty?

[dusk vortex]

nah

[sacred sigil]

you can get into a specific item and donate bit by bit whatever you want manually.

specific model, rather.

[storm river]

Check in the resource tab, each resource has a faction that it drops more commonly from

[modern sparrow]

How much GB to download for each update

[storm river]

Depends on the update lol

[marble radish]

is it just me or does the game crash a lot more often than it did a year back

[fallow inlet]

Hey Aspect,Rendy0, Sanitizer,

[vocal timber]

How do I get the black/ivory armor dye?

Nevermind I missed out on it ofc

[inner tendon]

@vocal timber You didn't miss out on the black armour dye, there's an ivory weapon dye too.
Both are locked to the Hunter Caches in BoO and Haven respectively.

[vocal timber]

I didnt know

Thanks

[fallow inlet]

Hey Rivens

[dusky badger]

does summit save your floor progress?

[dusky badger]

how do you do the floor 10 farm

[fallow inlet]

Yes

Clear 10 leave 1 alive die repeat

[fair bone]

what exactly do you do for the friendly resource convoys?

[cobalt gyro]

Question: I got a named chestpiece that I need to reroll the secondary attribute on, but I would need to optimize that weapon damage from a measley 5% to 15%.
Is this gonna be more expensive in the long run

[sly patrol]

Anyone else having this issue with the HB chest? I can't edit the appearance because the options are off my screen

It's only the HB chest piece as well. Everything else is fine

[cobalt gyro]

Yeah the HB chest and kneepads both have broken slots.

[sly patrol]

well that is quite unfortunate. I was wanting to change the looks at least

[cobalt gyro]

Yeah hopefully they fix it this coming season

[bronze storm]

How exactly does the Rifle mod that Pulses enemies work? Do I just aim and that's it? Is Pulse considered a debuff if I use it with that mod? I have it for the M1A CQB based on the build guides I've read, but I'm a newbie at this and I'm not really sure if I'm using it correctly. I'm guessing I should be at a certain range for it to work.

[oak talon]

that is going to be very expensive, normally you dont want to go more than a few, 2-3, optimisation steps to get a piece done, unless it is something trully hard to farm, but it is up to you to make the call, if you feel its worth it, its worth it

[oak talon]

nothing really, there is no actual activity for them, they just roam the map

[oak talon]

the tactical laser, when put on a weapon, pulses everything you aim at, when you are aiming over the shoulder (ads-ing)
pulse is its own effect, its not a status or really a debuff, its a separate category pulse
it will work at decently long range, but the longer the range the less reliably it will pulse the target, sometimes it may also not pulse if the target is somewhat obscured but you can still see parts of them, but in general its mostly plug and play

[bronze storm]

Oh, I see. I think it was just that line of sight was obscured by something because some enemies simply didn't show up after aiming at them repeatedly.

[indigo marsh]

The Scorpio exotic shotgun is a random drop right?

[fiery storm]

No

Just kill everything

[fallow inlet]

@indigo marsh yes

[indigo marsh]

My RNG sucks then

[fallow inlet]

But you can use targeted loot

[indigo marsh]

That’s what I’ve been doing

I’ve gotten 4 sweet dreams

[fallow inlet]

Lol

I know the feeling

[indigo marsh]

P a i n

[timber garnet]

Is there anyway to get the catharsis mask easy

[tulip fiber]

It’s a level 90 reward on the season pass currently. Other than that, target loot masks or exotic caches

[narrow kraken]

I just finished a project to get the regulus raid project
Do i need a fresh Iron horse raid in order to get the regulus pieces?

[true siren]

yes, regulus pieces will only drop from encounters you have not cleared this week- must be a fresh clear

[fierce adder]

added tip: if you put your regulus on another character and not just in the stash, or deconstruct it for parts, you can collect one every week from IH

[wide parcel]

Heys guys is there any way to fix Ubisoft connect challenge:

Special Order
Equip or change a specialization

?

Never unlocked for me, watch level 1400+

[thin atlas]

I can't use Linked laser on MGs?

[fierce adder]

Linked Laser Pointer needs a long under barrel to put it on. Check what you have on your chosen LMG

[thin atlas]

seems dare is not one of them.

[balmy trench]

can i donate a carnage for the ridgeway quest

[fierce adder]

Try an M249B, not only does it have a long ub, it has possibly the best weapon skin in the game. Open Challenge: tell me I'm wrong

[thin atlas]

the joyride skin?

[storm river]

whats the fastest way to get spec points? i did all my bounties already

[fierce adder]

aye, that's the one

[thin atlas]

just seen it, good shit.

[fallow inlet]

Hey Aspect

[oak talon]

invasion and projects give points aswell, CP4's give 1 point per cp aswell, and leveling quickly aswell as each lvlup is 3 points

[storm river]

how long does it take for bounties to respawn? i have projects to clear BT bounties too, but i literally only have the manhunt ones left, i had 1 other in each named area before

[modern sparrow]

Firestarter skill expertise says damage increase does it imclude the burn damage too?

After i ignite it

[burnt pine]

How do I block a player who sent me abusive messages?

[shy latch]

is the faye lau manhhunt still doable?

it said i unlocked it from the season reward track but now i dont know what to do

[burnt pine]

In-game, not Discord. Sorry if that was unclear.

Thank you.

[fair bone]

what does the broken shield icon mean?

and does the oxidizer work with wardogs?

yeah that's the one, how long does it last?

like, any status effect or the status effect on this enemy only? Im not sure how to exploit this bonus

ah okay, it's seems rather involved so not sure it's very helpful

[fair bone]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF DUA Lengendary boss

does he have a station or does he heal himself?

thanks @narrow kraken we finally got him, it's a very tough one to play with randos

and the drop is not even worth it

what are the bounties with an orange diamond? is that a weekly/daily bounty?

[fair bone]

kinda disappointing that daily bounties are normal, hard and challenging

[oak talon]

the orange ones are dailies indeed, blue are clan ones, and yellow is manhunt. daily bounties is a system they put in place before heroic was even really a thing, back then only invaded missions had heroic difficulties, and they never upgraded it after

[buoyant vessel]

can you still farm coyotes mask?

[fair bone]

oh that makes sense, I started later on season 8 so I missed that perspective

that's one of the many low hanging fruits this game has, if only they didn't decimate the dev team

[marble radish]

so uh what else hard content wise is there to do besides legendary stronghold and raids

[frozen pumice]

has anyone figured this issue out before? The mod slots and appearances are hiding off screen, they should normally be on the armor. Just on this chestpiece. Loggin out and in didnt fix it

[fair bone]

For me it's usually the daily project (mission replay + a CP or any activity you like), the weekly project (a couple of missions), 30 summit levels for the weekly project, the 3 invaded mission + invaded stronghold, the weekly legendary mission x1... after that, I sometimes play the summit for the lulz and/or to slowly work my way thru my builds

also, in the progression menu there are several list of content you can go thru (main missions, side missions, bounties, etc), so I sometimes do that... today I cleared all the bounties

unfortunately the div 2 doesn't have as much content as other looter shooter have

[marble radish]

man

after a years break it was so fun to get back in

and after just doing the manhunt and the hard shit its like: what now

i dont feel like farming for 1% better gear stats

gonna go run summit for some HB gear and try that set out

[thorny pagoda]

Just hit lvl 40 and have no idea where to begin with endgame, can someone help me out on what to do next?

[oak talon]

start out with trying to get a decent build together, it will take some time to make your first build as you need to farm from scratch, but as you get better and better pieces, move up the difficulties, which will lead to better pieces, letting you go even higher difficulties, once you have a good base build, you can start to use that to do all the content and farm for other build to vary up your playstyle

[merry light]

I'm wondering this too, don't know if you got a response

[oak talon]

here is my recommended build list, it has a few good starter builds listed,
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-nOwUSECa-1iLhET-mW04u6oMBdIdMjFjB2Ie25ziEA/edit
and there is also the pinned spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice that has a bunch of written guides for builds if you need more info

[oak talon]

yes you can get coyotes mask, it has no requirements so you can farm it from mask targeted loot, it is also a 7% drop chance on heroic from coyote herself as the boss of jefferson trade, but targeted loot is overall faster. @buoyant vessel

[merry light]

Is there a certain gear set or brand I should farm for to get max weapon dmg? Or should I farm piece by piece and hope one has the max

[oak talon]

if its just for the stat to add to your library, i would recommend farming a red core gear set item, as they have less stats they tend to roll better overall, as such gearset pieces drop with a top stat more often overall i feel

so something like negotiators or hunters fury

[haughty vessel]

so i just got the faye lau manhunt season reward. my question is, how do i start it?

[sacred sigil]

it should become available as the mission option for, erm, was it white oak?

[haughty vessel]

yea, but i only get normal, hard, challenging and heroic

[sacred sigil]

no, it's not in difficulty, it's a separate button below. G for me, or maybe tab if you're at invaded screen.

mission mode, or some such. it cycles through types of this mission.

[haughty vessel]

thats not it. G is for LFG. holding G is for difficulty and directives

[sacred sigil]

binding might be different, the button should be the same. this one:

it rotates through invaded (this week), manhunt and a regular.

[haughty vessel]

oh... now i got it.... i thought its a button on the main map window... but its a button in the mission window...

[sacred sigil]

yeah, not very intutive the first time.

be advised that it works for any invaded mission, if you need to play it the clean way for some drops or whatnot.

[fallow inlet]

@haughty vessel you don't really need to do it you get the shd specialized reward right away

Once you get the Achilles you can leave

[burnt pine]

If enemies are already on fire, does setting them on fire again refresh the status duration, or have no effect at all? Do I need to wait for them not to be on fire before I can set them on fire again?

[fallow inlet]

Need to wait once they go out Burn them again

[narrow kraken]

Depends on how they were initially burned. If they get burned via Fire sticky, Airburst Seeker mine or from an environmental proxy, then you can re-apply the burn and it'll refresh with the newer duration

Otherwise you have to wait like Saph said

[burnt pine]

Fire Chem launcher?

[narrow kraken]

Nah that's the only one that doesn't XD

Unfortunately

[oak talon]

you cant just reapply fire once they have a fire status, any application of lower or equal dmg tick wont apply,
but any stronger fire will overwrite a weaker fire, so you can use talents like insync to increase your dmg tick temporarily and "re-fire" enemies, by setting them on fire, letting them burn a bit, triggering insync and applying a stronger fire.
letting you increase total duration on targets as the new stronger fire will start at full duration again, with a capacitor you can even do it multiple times as you can gradually increase you dmg tick

[burnt pine]

Dead Hunters always drop named gear, right? Does that include DZ-only loot?

[oak talon]

the countdown hunters drop a random piece of named loot, not all hunters, its also only the general loot pool, so no dz/pvp items

[storm river]

DZ only loot is DZ only and some caches

[storm river]

All hunters do, they count as named enemies

[fair bone]

is there a list of missions where I can start the mission without going thru the map?

[modern sparrow]

how many gears & weapons i must expertise it to reach expertise lv 20?

[fair bone]

20 1/4 or 21 1/4, I don't recall exactly, is the max expertise level you can reach if you get proficient in every single piece listed in the expertise menu

what's the reward of the "daily legendary mission"? what does it have of special?

[tulip fiber]

Exotic cache

[fair bone]

so if you do DUA once a day you get an exotic cache each time? or just once a week?

[tulip fiber]

Once a week

[fair bone]

but when you click on the mission it says "complete this for the daily reward"

what's the daily reward?

if you shoot many times an enemy with spec ammo, do status effects stack? like, do you multiply damage per tick?

[tulip fiber]

There’s a daily project and sometimes it can coincide with the weekly legendary. Probably what that is. XP for the daily project reward. I believe the spec ammo stacks but not 100% sure

[sacred sigil]

it's just a visual bug. weekly project for legendary is also displayed on the map via this very note about daily reward.

[nimble spruce]

daily project is only available if you have the season pass btw, you'll still see those notes but won't actually get any bonus xp (or it's referring to the weekly legendary as Zuthuzu said).

[nimble spruce]

if it's the same status effect, it doesn't stack with the existing one and won't even refresh the duration unless the newer effect is a higher strength for some reason

so sayeth iKia anyway, haven't tested it myself

[dim crag]

Farming for The Grudge, do I just set TL to SMGs or does it not matter since it's a Named item? (I read Hunter named item drops don't tie into your TL)

[nimble spruce]

TL won't help your chances specifically with Hunter named drops, but they will improve your chances with other TL drops so it's still worth it

also Keener has quite a high chance to drop that one I believe (but then I guess running Countdown is a lot quicker & less painful than running Liberty Island)

[dim crag]

Guess I can also just throw a nade at my feet after killing him, right?

Or will it instantly start the cutscene?

[nimble spruce]

you won't get boss loot a second time around if you wipe

[dim crag]

Ahh okay

Nvm then, CD it is

[fair bone]

oh so if you open a crate with say 30 incendiary bullets, the best use is to spray them over all the enemies instead of focusing on 1

[fair bone]

oh gotcha, I was aware of the visual bug ! in the "project" tab but I didn't know this was just a faulty legend on the mission description

[modern sparrow]

Is it worth it to get that projct that required donation of materials?

I was donating but im out of steel which has many uses 💀

[fallow inlet]

Hey Kettle,

[plucky mesa]

Hey you

[modern sparrow]

I mean the one with exotic cache every week

[oak talon]

first off hunters arent as named enemies but elites, the colour on the bar is that of elites and not nameds like rogues, and provable by the fact that spec weapons deal full dmg to them,
second this was talking about named items as loot, named enemies drop a TL piece guaranteed, not a named loot, thats only a few sources that work like that, like the countdown hunters, final rogue of an encounter or the 4 minor targets of a manhunt on first clear. summit and openworld hunters dont drop named items

[inner tendon]

I'm pretty sure Hunters do actually count as Named Enemies.
I got a Bighorn from one of them on Floor 100.

[nimble spruce]

hey Saph

[sacred sigil]

if you lack resources, then obviously it's not worth it.

getting resources isn't difficult, but it does require up to half an hour a day of just running around solar farm, popping boxes.

which is not something a casual player might be willing to do.

on four digit shd level resources also transform in value, because at any given moment you might make a spare dude, run him through wony, dump his multiple hundreds of levels in scavenge, load up on whatever is lacking, and delete the dude.

[oak talon]

on legendary, the final floor 100 hunter is a specific source for bighorn alongside the sections final named bosses of other 10x floors, its not they are named, its that they are a source.
also if you look at pve rogues, they have "rogue agent" above their bar as a name, hunters dont have that,
and again they have a elite bar not a named bar colour , and they take full damage from spec weapons.
they are elites

[inner tendon]

About half of that was pointless repeating, but I get the gist, ta.

[fair bone]

I thought I didn't like Manning Zoo and Oak and The Tombs and Stranded Tank and Wall Street and The Pentagon and the Fair...

Then I realized I don't like Manning Zoo and Oak and The Tombs and Stranded Tank and Wall Street and The Pentagon and the Fair and Liberty Island... what a drag of a mission

[thorny pagoda]

What's the best way to farm for exotics like the BTSU gloves?

[gusty harbor]

Is there anyone that happens to have a summit check point around level 60 I lost mine and I really don’t wanna have to get all the way back up there again

[nimble spruce]

#lfg-playstation

[fair bone]

I don't but check LFG channel since it's platform dependent

[oak talon]

literally only this "they have a elite bar not a named bar colour , and they take full damage from spec weapons." is repeating, and is it pointless repeating if you didnt read it the first time, as if you did you would have already understood they arent nameds, or at the very least not normal nameds

[upbeat rock]

bla bla bla

[inner tendon]

Yeah I got the message when you reacted with the face-palm emoji.

[oak talon]

farming targeted loot gloves is likely the best way, with countdown and summit being good for farming it as you can set your targeted loot to whatever you want there, or farm the mission or zone TL masks is on in the openworld

[vale forum]

do i need to craft the chatterbox before i can get it as a drop

[nimble spruce]

yes

or well, you need enough of the pieces to get the blueprint (which is probably all of them)

[vale forum]

does it always come out with that?

[nimble spruce]

exotic stats are fixed, only the rolls are variable (by which I mean, how maxed out each stat is)

[vale forum]

damn

so i dont need to farm for it now lmao

[fair bone]

I saluted a burning enemy before killing them but it didn't register, do I need to be like really close or something?

O_O

[nimble spruce]

sorry, attempts at dark humour not worth it

not actually sure wrt your question though, I guess just try it a few more times

[oak talon]

in keymap you can map emote slot one to a key, that is the upper left slot, set a enemy on fire, preferably with a weak fire like incendiary grenades, and the spam the emote, it sometimes takes allot of tries before it registers.

oh you are on xbox so no keybinds, missed that, still you sometimes have to spam the emote several times before it registers

[fair bone]

okay will try again, I don't need to kill it while it burns, do I ?

I shot them with an incendiary bullet, saluted, and by the time I killed them the status effect was gone

[oak talon]

dont believe it matters how you kill him, but i dont think anyone ever tested it much, what i remember allot coming up from allot of people even back when it was released, is that it almost never worked on first try, and spamming the emote a bunch made it much more likely to work.

[woeful copper]

r Hunters pulse resistant (Jammer)?

[latent plinth]

whats the current method for floor 10 farming?

[sacred sigil]

gentlemen, what is the difference between socom and cqb m1a variants?

socom seems to have a tiny bit less stability and damage, but probably some upsides as well? dunno.

[sacred sigil]

yeah, that i've seen.

but why is it worse at every observable property? maybe there is something in handling or whatnot.

[latent plinth]

from what i can tell, outside damage/stability, theyre exactly identical, every column in the datasheet from the spreadsheet says they should be identical, tho it also says they should have the same damage as well

so could just be bugged?

[foggy needle]

No upside just poorly balanced on socom m1a

Back in the weapon balance TU10 pass, socom got a different % boost and was never fixed, hence why it's weaker

[oak talon]

out of curiosity to refresh my memory on it, went to look up those old weapon rebalance changes in patch notes,
this are the changes of that tu10 for m1a cqb and socom m1a, upto that point both were basically slight variants of each other

M1A CQB – 10.7% damage increase
SOCOM M1A – No changes

[sacred sigil]

this is just sad.

[oak talon]

thats the point it all went bad for the socom m1a, and it was never fixed after

[thorny bobcat]

My main character was boosted to wony. Since the side missions in DC don't show up because of that, I can't access certain areas. I have a few collectables to grab that are in those areas. Is there any way to start the missions or get into the areas they take place in?

One of these missions is "Missing Curators" for example

[oak talon]

most of those areas area available trough bounties, as they are locations that can be used by the game for bounties

you can start and then abort bounties till you get the area you need, but it will take some time usually as the game can be quite stubborn with where it places bounties in some zones

if it keeps placing the bounty at one particular location (like with southwest placing it at the BT drone recharge side mission location), going to that location without a bounty and starting bounties there will force the game to place it somewhere else

[karmic harbor]

does status effects affect the booster hive?

[hollow valve]

Only the bleed that occurs after the hive projectiles hit their target

Oh wait I’m thinking of stinger nvm

[karmic harbor]

booster is the one that gives hazpro and handling

[hollow valve]

That’s a good question

I’m not exactly sure

[oak talon]

actually went for a quick check, on a freshly boosted, that missing scavengers side mission area in constitution hall is available at any time, but there wasnt a collectible there to be grabbed

[oak talon]

no, of the main 4 yellow stats, only shill haste will apply

[thorny bobcat]

Thanks, I'll try cycling through bounties then

Hi all. I am just coming back to Div 2 after a long break. I have complete the Warlords of New York DLC story line but I haven't completed the Hunters there. When I started the Psycho and Drip Mask Hunters, I think I did something wrong because I couldn't interact with the dead body at the spawn point for the hunters. So how can I reset (if I can) those hunters?

Is it random or from specific thing

[wild sequoia]

i can see the directions on my minimap but not physically( as in i dont see the actual ui for it that floats in the air)

[sacred sigil]

yep, it's random, from the same pool of control point drops. just run 'em a bit more.

[obtuse cape]

Try restarting your game. If not, thenrestart the console.

Why i cant change mission difficulty?

I chose heroic but it didnt change

Its been days like this

[fierce adder]

Are you running a new character that hasn't done that mission before? will need to do it on story mode before difficulty unlocks

[modern sparrow]

Nope i have only 1 character

And i did it before on story mode

Its stuck on normal difficuty

[fierce adder]

which mission? or all of them?

if it's an invaded mission you're doing for the first time, then you will need to clear it on normal first.
If its anything else, I'm out of ideas

[burnt basalt]

tnx 😉

[modern sparrow]

Yup the tidal one i chose world difficulty to heroic but the rewards was not for invaded mission

Thank you ill complete it normal first

Question, if you use dodge city gunslinger holster and the backup boomstick does it deal the damage from the holster stacks or no

(I would be testing this myself but unfortunately I can't due to being at work.)

[rotund sonnet]

What are some of the most difficult (or impossible) to obtain weapons/gear, for the purpose of getting expertise? (and therefore best targets to dump resources into)

[foggy needle]

chillout mask and the snowball tommy gun IMHO since both are Xmas exclusive drops. also yahaal and system corruption as nether has target loot.

[inner tendon]

And that one UMP-45 which doesn't seem to drop anywhere.

[mystic forge]

great suggestions, thanks
