A little lost on what to do with the current paragon event day one challenge that has to do with the cover to cover move. Can someone please explain this? Thanks

inner tendon
#

Paragon and SHD Exposed are 2 separate events, Paragon is just cosmetics.

#

re: Exposed cover-to-cover. While you have an active bar of the Event, when performing a cover to cover, you will "discharge" the pulse.

little dagger
#

Sry, I meant the SHD exposed

#

🙏

#

Does the bar have to be full?

junior cave
#

Yes. Also you can melee enemies to transfer the charge.

Are exotic caches always in the CD vendor?

Does going to New York make my map invaded?

supple swift

i wouldnt put it past the devs if that actually happened tbh

I see, kinda wanna do the stringholds before they get invaded

On the other side i want to go to ny for division 1 reasons (and lvl 40)

but no going to new york doesnt make your map invaded

Quick question from a new player (as in, a real new player, currently lvl 12 or so), is there any way for me to obtain the outfits in the new SHD PARAGON apparel event, or I'm going to miss out?

foggy needle
#

the events are only end game

#

you could use the DLC boost to level 30, beat the NYC dlc then you can start earning the apparel event, as an option though.

Love it when you set all directives, and all the icons are showing, but the game doesn’t register any of them. Then I run around thinking I’m getting xp, but no….. standard Ubisoft glitch fest….

proper vault
#

I've never got the Regulus exotic - never did the Iron Horse raid. If I buy exotic caches from the GE store, the Regulus won't be in any cache, correct?

#

Roger that, ty for answering

fallow inlet
#

Hey Azurmen32

#

@proper vault you need to do a couple raids and you'll be able to craft it

#

Hello Mudstick

inner tendon
#

There's a Project around it, you won't just be able to do 2 Raids and get one.

What do you think it's better to buy from the GE event store? Named Item caches for 8 stars, Exotic caches for 20, or other?

OK, I've matchmade for random Heroic and the two times I've got Stranded Tanker, I've got an Imperial Dynasty after killing Vivian Connely. What's going on? Some new feature or bug?

#

This is probably a dumb question, but I wrapped up Warlords of NY and don't have enough skill unlocks to get the last couple skills. Did I miss something? I don't see anymore main story missions.

theoretically it could be possible, if you pop headshot kills on every enemy

Or survive for a while beforehand

What's the best way to unlock attachments?

inner tendon
#

CP (Control Points) at Lvl 3/4, just set your World Difficulty to Challenging and clear the map a few times, you should have most by then.

willow oracle
#

Okay thanks!

inner tendon
#

All locations for Attachments are listed in your Crafting Table too, so you can see for yourself if you want to farm for something.

Ohh okay

How to get good gear stat, do I need to play in heroic with all directive active?

Directives only increase xp

Is there any difference between the 9mm and .45 ACP Vektor?

Yes

gritty bluff

yeah just realised

The .45 is better unless you are using the tiny 9mm one

gritty bluff

huge damage difference

Tiny 9mm is highest burst dmg

is there like a waiting time for premium creds to flow into my account? I bought the one-time offer but nothing happened.

anyone know if it's possible to farm specific brand sets? like providence

Yep! Just gotta go for "Targeted Loot" (TL), which you can see on your map screen.
You can select what the TL is in the Summit and Countdown game modes.

hey I am trying to farm a coyotoe lol i must of done 30 JTC missions on challenging with 4 directives

#

still no drop

#

i don't really have a build to do countdown with atm but pentagon has targeted mask loot would that be better than JTC?

inner tendon
#

To farm Coyotes Mask, it's pretty much the same as farming 90% of loot in div2:
Targeted Loot: [Mask], then either Directives or Countdown.

No need to do JTC or any specific mission, just farm it wherever has Mask TL, or Summit/Countdown.

foggy needle
#

Also it's still RNG

sick scroll
#

kk i guess i am just having some bad rng atm haha

inner tendon
#

Azur is right, but your only chance in a mission being the final boss is certainly going to cut down on your chances.

sick scroll
#

so targeted loot any mob can drop any rarity of items while JTC the boss can only drop coyote?

inner tendon
#

and to further limit your RNG, play on Challenging or higher. Removes all but gold/exotic/gearset drops from enemies.

sick scroll
#

okay thanks!

Orbit and kard custom are only pvp locked pistols right?

I only need 2 more now I see this video, and tbh those look so much better

graceful sigil
#

theres WONY hunter too

viral jacinth
#

is this the max expertise rank for weapons? dont see an upgrade option anymore

inner tendon
#

Your potential Expertise upgrade is based on your overall level.
So once you raise it above Expertise 1, then you can raise that too.

#

aka: you can get the gun to +2%, then 3, etc.

vague idol
#

in PvE that extra weapon damage is meh imo, for pvp can be useful

I believe the official Nerd Word is "having your guns at +20 is like having another Gear Talent".

There's 12 Masks on the White House wall, and 13 on the wall at Haven.
A few of the Haven masks are obtained in DC, the rest are in NYC.

gritty bluff
#

awh fuck yeah! More suffering
WOOOOOHOOOO

inner tendon
#

the Hunters really aren't that hard, just takes the know-how and a bit of patience.
You can even do them on "normal" and still get the reward.

Just look up a guide, "nothingbutskillz" on youtube has some prominent ones for each set of Masks.

gritty bluff
#

did it with a few members but they aren't THAT bad if you know how to use your skills right

inner tendon
#

Neurotic is 100% the hardest one to set up if you are off on the timing.
Just give it a go, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

gritty bluff
#

The hunters aren't hard, but if you die and have to redo everything, THEN it's hard

#

especially the Lucky mask, being that you have to wait that long

#

worst/most unfun part is the waiting

#

@inner tendon quick question, know the time I have to activate the button for Neurotic??

inner tendon
#

https://youtu.be/AfR26hbIRgY
There's a few in a row, that one should work. Remember: the timing has to be quite precise. If you're off, it won't work.

gritty bluff

fuck that's terrible :I

so let's say I wanted Deceit or some other mask from way back, Can I still get it now or am I screwed?

rain echo

oh sweet, thanks
I thought it had something to do with that so I'll try it out when I'm done with all my current masks

That hunter is on a timer iirc so you gotta kill him or else he will De spawn and you gotta wipe and start from last CP

#

How long that timer is idk

#

I'd say 5 mins

gritty bluff
#

Eh shouldn't be TOO bad

#

I can prob do it, atleast you can redo it quickly

He uses 3 or 4 medkits through out the fight as well but with banshee or foam that shouldn't be a problem

Not sure why,but they said something about armor damage applies on debuff too. Is that even true?

#

And i'm using stage left that because i 1st slot is scorpio. :p

supple swift
#

you should use lefty especially if you're running opportunistic as a healer as lefty is a shotty and procs it
sledge procs on any gun as long as you have it equipped

#

that way, whether you have the lefty or scorpio equipped, you can always proc oppo when shooting

junior cave
#

I know that and i'm using scorpio for that. Throwing grenades with stage left, wait for debuff pops(grenade ka-booms) and switch to scorpio for oppor debuff.

#

But i am not sure why lefty for that? Less time for swap?

supple swift
#

i prefer lefty because i can proc oppo somewhere else while waiting for sledge to trigger

junior cave
#

Hm, seems rationable if you say that...

supple swift
#

yeah more of convenience really
ideally you'd wanna keep proccing oppo even while waiting for sledge.
not sure if the lefty's core DTA of 12 does any other addition to it tbh

Lady death with HF and memento

#

And an grupo chest with unbreakable

#

It's pretty good

inner tendon
#

Swapping out that Lady Death for a high-end (gold) SMG with dtooc as the 3rd Attribute and a good Talent will significantly boost your effectivness.
I'd suggest Strained, maybe Fast Hands or Flatline if you have Technician on with the laser.
mpx/mp5/cmmg are 3 good starter choices.

burnt pine
# willow oracle Lady death with HF and memento

OK, so one thing you have to always keep in mind with HF is that running down the middle is always going to get you in trouble. Your shield (no matter how many blue cores you have) is only a temporary damage mitigation device and can't "tank" for you. As far as possible, keep a wall to one side and peek around corners of cover so only one or two enemies can hit you. If you're in the middle of a big crowd, you will get nailed by enemies behind you. I'm no expert on this yet and am still learning my way to being an advanced user but this is the advice I got on this server and it's helped a lot.

#

And what Rivens said about the gear. You need to kill with high burst damage so the disorient can hit the other enemies and give you a moment to breathe without being hit as much.

cedar tide
#

I think, regardless of builds, running down the middle gets you in trouble. C2C goes a long way with HF, especially a full red set.

willow oracle
inner tendon
#

The 3rd attribute is a pretty important factor, without that being "damage to target out of cover" (dtooc) then I'd honestly say it's not godrolled.

willow oracle
inner tendon
steel oasis
#

Thx

inner tendon
#

As long as the Attribute is correct, go for whatever Talent feels the best for you.
remember to combo Flatline with Technician and the tech spec laser.

burnt pine
#

Only a few SMGs take the tech laser for Flatline to proc. Without that, your Flatline is useless.

willow oracle
#

Yeah I need to recalibrate it any suggestions to a good talent?

Run the Firewall spec shield for more damage and protection.

willow oracle
#

Still need to unlock that one 🙂

inner tendon
#

Technician, Firewall, and Gunner are the 3 I'd focus on unlocking first, the rest are good too but don't have quite as many broad uses.

cedar tide
#

I run Survivalist with red set HF for that extra PFE which can be clutch sometimes, but it is player preference.

willow oracle

I have the gunner and technician already just need firewall then I have them all (I have an boosted character from the dlc thingy so I already had the others)

@hallow raptor Ty, got it

narrow kraken

hey, im sorry for the probably rather stupid question but i just got to lvl 40 a while ago, finished the WoNY main mission and now im kind of per-say clueless as to what to do, where can i get better weapons/gear and what should i really do/"focus" on?

sick finch
#

someone District on legendary ?

oak talon
# frank galleon What is the Best way to farm the rikers tactical assestment blueprint?

as you may have already noticed if you have done some cp3/4 like you were recommended, they dont give faction tactical assessments
bounties and missions final nameds do, farming bounties is the easiest generally unless there is a fast mission available for that faction (basically only true sons with lincoln)
someother sources are final nameds of each countdown section/summit 10 floors and crafting

missed it was about the blueprint, that is indeed cp3/4, my mistake

oak talon
valid bronze
#

I always end up crafting a ton

oak talon
#

and try out a bit of all the content, most of it you can matchmake into and get carried a bit while you are new, just try out a taste of summit, countdown, missions, maybe even raids (although dont matchmake that one, you can find a group for that in this discord, but only do that once you have atleast a decent build).
and use that first build, once its decent to get more builds together, some builds have distinct playstyles, and its its own fun to mess around with builds, even if its just for the variety

narrow kraken
#

oh jeez, lots of info, how can i make such specific "red" builds? i assume with the re-calibration system?

oak talon
#

with targeted loot (TL) you can farm for specific brands, on the main overworlds maps (dc/ny) there is a button promt at the bottom to turn that overlay on, and in countdown and summit you can set your TL to whatever you want it to be for yourself,
with tl you will get more of that brand, and you just farm to put together the best you can, and keep in mind low good stats are better than high wrong stats.

ashen valley
#

So is there a build around the FAMAS 2010? I see a lot of people running it in the social area of the BOO

modern sparrow
#

Why all DZ players play with foundry bulwark they never dies is it a glitch?

oak talon
#

and every piece you get you can transfer one stat from your library over to fix 1 thing on the gear with recalibration, and you can also optimise the piece if its close enough to the top to max it out, recalibration is pretty cheap but optimisation is pretty expensive

#

also, if you get stuck on anything you dont understand, you can always ask, there is a bunch of stuff to learn, and weve al been new to it at some point, so dont worry about having questions, we have all been there

i assume grinding out weapons is just wishing for luck or targeted loot rifle? got the replica blueprint but i dont think thats good ._.

oak talon
#

yeah, you are best off trying to farm for that type in the TL of that weapon type, it increases drop of that thype allot over just random farming, and crafting is indeed not great, mostly because your recources are better spent for recalibrations and expertise

What are some Exotic weapons one would NEED as a Division player? Asking for PvE mainly, maybe Dark Zone here and there.

It’s not one you need to craft like regulus

Wait

#

You must have the blueprint but also that mission gives you bluescreen you don’t need to farm it messed up there lol

ashen valley
#

I didn't get the weapon itself from the mission

#

Looking at the mission settings, the reward is the blueprint and SHD supplies but the only thing I have is the Reconfigure option at the crafting bench. I don't have Bluescreen anywhere

oak talon
# novel bone What are some Exotic weapons one would NEED as a Division player? Asking for PvE...

there are none that are so essential to be needed at all cost, but there are a few that find allot of use for specific reasons, but the most common build, the red chc/chd build basically uses no exos.
but for some of the exotics that find quite some use:
regulus- headshot HH builds
coyote- chc/chd builds, especially gearsets
scorpio- good cc and essential for eclipse
memento- good survivability piece and used for some bruisers
capacitor- for turret drone builds
vile- for EP builds
BTSU gloves- healers

novel bone
#

Gotcha, I’ll be on the lookout for some of these you mentioned. I would like to at least collect some Exotics just to have them and have some fun when I’m building (or other stuff). Thanks everyone!

What's the best way to farm 6% CHC mods?

rich wren
#

summit and countdown and set loot target to gear mods

vague idol
#

for summit I'd assume you have a better chance doing it on legendary

rich wren
#

theoretically

inner tendon
#

As you increase difficulty in div2, the minimum rolls % get better.
aka: you'll get higher "low" rolls on Legendary compared to Heroic.

#

Mostly though, I'd say Directives increase your chances more. Since that means you're getting more rolls overall.

rich wren
#

how so

rain echo
inner tendon
#

@rich wren Each added Directive slightly increases your chance for an enemy to drop "Targeted Loot" (TL), so the more you have, the more they'll drop overall.

rich wren
#

does it say that ingame or where is that stated?

inner tendon
#

Literally on the menu where Directives are.
also mentions the exp increase.

rich wren
#

exp I know, I guess I never paid attention to the loot part

inner tendon
#

Div2 is very, very math heavy. It's worth giving details a full read, you might discover a little trick.
like how you can actually roll out of most "drops off ledges" to go faster, or tapping control while at the lower end of a rope lets you cut it and get to the ground faster.

ashen valley
rich wren
#

those things are neither math heavy nor learned by reading details of anything, but come with experience of playing the game and watching other people do clown stunts (and yes I consider diving down ledges head first to skip the jumping a valid trick for circus performances), but I get where you are coming from, then again, it doesn't state what the actual drop chances are for adding directives

inner tendon
#

We don't know the base drop chances, but the more you kill, the more you'll get.

rich wren
#

yes, so it becomes a balancing act between going up in difficulty and being able to kill stuff quickly enough

inner tendon
#

Exactly, which is why most players stick to Heroic.

steel dove
#

How does my friend start manhunt? I'm currently on chirpy, well waiting for her but on his it says missing intel on trig and micro, how does he start manhunt

inner tendon
#

Requires owning the WONY expansion.
After that, Reach Lvl 68 in the Season Pass, then go to the various Missions mentioned in the Season Pass and hold "change mission type" until the text is yellow and says "Manhunt".
(Tidal Basin, Roosevelt Island, Coney Island AP, Camp White Oak, Jefferson Trade Centre)

#

The current Manhunt final mission isn't active yet, if that's what you're looking for.

rich wren
#

the current manhunt is started by talking to Many or rather his door

steel dove
#

So talk to manny?

rich wren
#

the game should say that and give you a marker on the white house, if it doesn't then your friend might not be eligible for the conntent

steel dove
#

He owns the dlc I ran him through it

#

And he's 62 in the season but I know I did trig before 62 for a fact

rich wren

older manhunts become available rom lvl 62 onwards

Lvl 68 is the maximum level in the Season Pass required to permanently unlock all 5 older ones.

#

several times.

#

Trig > Micro > Chirpy > Lucky.
those are the 4 targets before the final mission. We only have access to Trig and Micro so far.

I still have no clue about what you were asking.
the Manhunt starts when you walk in the front door. It directs you where to go.

#

If you aren't directed, it means the new Target isn't out yet.

# chilly quarry Is there a recommended difficulty to start matchmaking countdown for?

challenging CD is equivalent to heroic mission matchmaking in overall difficulty, its not too hard aslong 2-3 people to have ok builds and do the objectives,

Yeah that should not have happened, I haven't heard evidence before of it either.
The one other source outside of DZ/Conflict/NamedCache is the final Target in a Manhunt, which is so hard to farm that it's basically pointless.

modest jungle
#

Is police m4 an uncommon drop

#

I only have one with dttooc but it looks like it needs about 9 optimisations to max out

#

I'm not rich

inner tendon
#

That many and I'd junk it.
Targeted Loot: [Assault Rifle], then either Countdown or Directives is your best bet to find one.

cedar tide
#

Wait, did you already recal that M4, @modest jungle?

inner tendon
#

tip: go for one with dtooc above all else. That way you can swap between Flatline and not-flatline.

cedar tide
#

Maybe they already have a good talent on it and just need a recal of DTOOC

inner tendon
#

9 optimisations to make it perfect? They can get a better one to make it cheaper, but keep it for now.

modest jungle
#

Which I'm intending to roll fast hands. It has killer now

cedar tide
#

Yeah, fair. What Rivens said is the best tip

#

Optimisations of more than 1 can be super expensive 😂

modest jungle
inner tendon
#

Unless an item is basically godrolled already, it's probably faster to farm out a new one. And a heck of a lot cheaper.

#

IIRC "80% to perfect in all stats" is the go-to.

modest jungle
#

Yeah Ikr. I have a carbine 7 with max dttooc and AR damage. But like 3 health damage optimisations off of max

#

I used it as it is forever until finally bit the bullet and opti it

cedar tide
#

Pff, health damage, amirite? petter

modest jungle
#

Yeah health damage is pretty pff but when I see a bar that low it triggers the ocd

ashen valley
#

Is using any pulse enough to trigger Flatline and is there an icon to signal that it’s procced?

cedar tide
#

Any kind of pulse can proc Flatline, I think, whether it be Technician laser, scanner pulse, or that niche drone scan thingy

#
  • sharpshooter drone? can't remember its name
#

As long as the enemies are highlighted, you get the bonus dmg

ashen valley
#

I was sticking with scanner pulse. Just wasn’t sure because I didn’t see a proc icon when I pulsed enemies with that rifle equipped so wasn’t sure.

cedar tide
#

Depends on how long the skill duration is too

#

But a lot of folks would argue that tech laser (if you can fit it) works much better since you're worrying about a fewer button to use in gunfights

modest jungle
cedar tide
#

Yeah, I don't think it would

#

I've used (scanning) pulse skills rarely since the laser was introduced

tough marsh
#

How do I increase shield health? Besides 6 blue/yellow cores and shield mods

#

And forge

modest jungle
#

The laser is really good. Before combat I take a moment to highlight all enemies really help the situational awareness

#

Also when you're in cover doing something else like using armor kit, you can still right click aim and it will pulse the enemies u are looking at even though your character isn't aiming

modest jungle
tough marsh
#

Interesting, thanks

#

I've always thought shield health is affected by armor

queen sorrel
# tough marsh And forge

forge is horrible for increasing shield health since it only increases the base health of the shield aka the health before any of your yellow and blue cores apply. skill health is what youre going to look for to increase shield health past the cores and shield mods. you can also technically heal your shield using the artificer hive iirc and if thats still not enough you can wear foundry bulward to get shield health regen

Do you have to do IH with an 8 man to start the regulus project, or can you do it with complete randos?

Must be on Normal mode, not Discovery.
It's easier with an organised team for sure.

#

What's the best build(s) for a IH new player? Also, can someone suggest me pls a 1 or 2 youtube guide videos? I only want to do IH enough times to get the regulus and commendations, so it might not be necessary (you tell me pls) to get different builds for different parts of the raid

modern hearth
#

if a team knows what it's doing, you ideally need a regular DPS build that works in a group setting and just be on damage dealings roles, nothing too fancy

#

and you can keep that role all throughout the raid

#

what I mean when I say works in a group setting is the sort of build that's not too dependant on getting kills yourself or stacking up stuff, something that applies benefits here and now until you get used to the raid

cedar tide
#

I've honestly never done IH but I've heard many things about healer FI builds and pure red builds

modern hearth
#

it all comes down to how the team runs it too imo with non-DPS builds

#

my group had a tank with a healer doing the mechanics for example

#

since the healer can afford to both heal and do the steps

proper vault
modern hearth
#

yeah, works very well

proper vault
#

ah nice 🙂

modern hearth
#

but again, this is speaking from my experience

proper vault
#

ty

modern hearth
#

the team and their requirements will matter too

#

but the raid doesn't really need more than 2 people actively engaging with all the stuff in there, rest just need to shoot and know where to stay

proper vault
#

Roger that

modern hearth
#

I don't know of a good youtube guide though, someone will have to help you there

#

but the builds should be good to go, they can't ask for more of you

proper vault
#

Understood. Yeah, honestly, I don't want to spend too much time putting together different builds for different parts of the raid and optimizing them, if I'm only expecting to do it enough times to get the Regulus and commendations. Maybe in the future I'll want to play at least once per week, but not for now

cedar tide
#

The best way to learn it is to go thru it yourself with some friends, or at least some folks who are kind and patient enough to guide you thru every mechanic at every stage and have fun in the end.

modern hearth
#

yeah you have time for that later, it can actually be fun to do those roles, but if it's not your priority now all good

proper vault
#

Yes, maybe later indeed

#

Hey Zephyr, Rivens, Bayes,

valid bronze
#

What's a good backup boomstick talent?

#

I'm thinking either optimist, close and personal, vindictive or preservation

#

Optimist would give 15% dmg on the second shot every time where as close and personal is 30 but on a kill

cedar tide
#

I personally had mine set with Pumped Up, but maybe Pummel is a better option for dps

valid bronze
#

What's pumped up do?

cedar tide
#

I think you get 1% dmg increase for each reload, up to 25 times within 10 seconds or something. It's been ages, I'm afraid

#

It's something that I've used myself for solo Summit sessions and I find it fun, but it's not optimal

#

Pummel just works well with shotties in general

valid bronze
#

Idk if it would be good for it since it only holds 2 rounds

#

3 kills and at least 2 reloads if you are lucky for 40% dmg or 1 kill for 30 with close and personal

cedar tide
#

Yeah, good point. I'm unsure exactly what would be better, maths-wise, but I kinda figured I'd stick with Pumped Up since I'm more likely to reload anyway and the weapon is hella fun to use

valid bronze
#

If it's between close and personal and pummel I think close and personal is the winner

#

Pumped up would be fun to try ive never used it

cedar tide
#

You can't go wrong with C&P since you will be up close anyway 😂

How many gear mods should we keep for each stat? Just 3 (1 for mask, 1 for chest and 1 for backpack) ?

valid bronze
#

I would keep extra once you get a bunch of maxed mods for other characters or for if you use improvised pieces or chill out mask

proper vault
#

Ah, yes, the chill out mask uses 2 mod slots, right? So that would make 4., in case I don't want to play with other characters. What is that "improvised" you were speaking about? (sorry if this is a very noobish question)

proper vault

Yes exactly

#

That and it's hard to throw out max mods

what is the benefit to having alternate characters?

Stash space, and once you get past Lvl 40 any alt characters that are also Lvl 40 share your current SHD level, but with all points unspent.

oh wow, didn't know about the SHD points
thanks!

Are Discovery Raids worth giving a shot in terms of matchmaking? Say, I want to test the ropes of a raid, and I don't have a build or I want to get my hands wet. Would Discovery be worth it?

inner tendon
#

No.
Discovery Raids actually have "less mechanics" than regular Raids, so you won't get a good idea of how they work.

set summit's target loot to masks and play challenging with 6 directives, you'll be rolling masks left and right. That or just farm any mission with mask loot on challenging 4 directives

What took you the longest to level up expertise wise? Skills or weapons or something else?

inner tendon
#

Skills take longer, as it's a lot harder to get kill xp with them than guns, in most cases.

Using them exclusively on red/armour removed enemies does it reasonably fast, overall.

is dz a good source of xp? i would assume the best one is convoy overall?

carmine flicker

Dz does give regular xp but mostly dz xp. Open world activities (ones that raise a cps alert level) are the best for farming

narrow kraken

oh gotcha, i would assume a cp4 gives a lot more xp as well compared to 1?

modest jungle

Convoys with every directive is the fastest I've found.

is runnin all directives good for xp or 4 is enough?

@narrow kraken While it's true that Heroic Convoys are the fastest, DZ landmarks are very easy to clear and give a good chunk of exp themselves.

im only doing challenging but its often a suffering more than farming ._.

inner tendon

It takes practice, but the best suggestion I have is to throw together a Hunters Fury or Breatbreaker build and use the heals on it to live longer.

There's a guide for both over in #td2-build-advice > 📌 pinned-message > spreadsheet > builds.

thin atlas

for status effect, does it increase duration or it increase the dmg of the effects?

So, when building Status Effects based build, I should recalibrate the substats to Status effect.

Summit is the easiest of loot farms...at the cost of your sanity. Because those enclosed spaces really do affect you after a good while

burnt pine

I'd say Countdown is easier for loot because of the sheer quantity, but yeah, been trying to farm Golan for a while. No luck. The problem of course is to get at least one god roll level yellow attribute + creeping death.
