[burnt pine]

So I need to level all these trees up again by playing them?

[foggy needle]

correct. the free booster only fully levels up the normal 1s iirc.

[burnt pine]

Thanks

[half robin]

uhhh so I am running a deflector shield build for reasons and I think I encountered a bug
the Riker rushers, the ones with dual SMGs, don't take any damage from their reflected bullets

just says they are immune

same goes for Dragov and his two shield buddies
is that a bug or supposed to be like that?

[nimble spruce]

need to buy the reconfigure blueprint from Inaya before it joins the main loot pool - although that's been bugged, not sure if it was fixed yet

[atomic aspen]

I'll check it out

[valid bronze]

It was fixed, I got the bp and I've had one drop after getting said bp

[supple swift]

thanks. can start farming for 3 more then

Hey

The division 2 has been rlly laggy for me recently

And not much has changed with my pc

But I’m getting a lot of stuttering

[rain apex]

Same here I tried getting on all last night and couldn't till like 5 this afternoon.and now at 7:37 pm the servers are already kicking me.

Honestly it's really weird.how every night I can't play.but there's days I can be on most the day then at night it won't let me on.its odd

[fallow inlet]

Hey Azurmen32, Kettle

[little dagger]

I’m running with the fixer drone, would I use repair skill gear mods or incoming repairs gear mods to get healed faster. Not quite sure that I understand what they do differently. My assumption is that repair skill mods will repair a damaged deployed skill and the incoming repair mod would boost how much or how quick the fixer drone will repair my armour. Thanks in advance

[supple swift]

generic repair mods affect the amount of repair from your skills to you and others
incoming affects only repairs to you from all repair sources

[little dagger]

Ok, so in my case of using the fixer for myself in solo play they basically do the same thing ?

[supple swift]

uh huh

[little dagger]

Thanks champ 👍

[pale fox]

Hi, I'm at lost. I been away right after Capt Lewis drop but didn't hunt him down in Jefferson Square. Now I'm back but can't seem to find that mission for Capt Lewis in Jefferson Square. What do I need to do? Thanks in advance.

[gaunt cypress]

What is a good dps build?
Normally run healer in my group but want to switch role for once

[rain echo]

Reach tier 68 in the free track of the SP then you will have access to every final previous manhunt target go to JTC and swap mission to manhunt

[rain echo]

Depends you want gearset ot brandset?

Hunter fury is very good so is striker and umbra 3 soils options

Hunter fury is aimed towards shotguns/smgs

You can also go for HF HH(headhunter build)

I don't run umbra or striker so idk about those 1s someone who runs them or knows more can probably tell you what to run with em

[burnt pine]

What weapon do you want to use? Also check out #td2-build-advice

[rain echo]

Pain can help you

[burnt pine]

LOL. I am usually running not-DPS. 😉

But I like my Hunter's Fury for SMG/shotgun and Umbra for assault rifle DPS (the latter is more n00b-friendly.)

[modest jungle]

Hunter fury is more close quarters dependent (smg shotgun)
Strikers are rate of fire dependent
Heartbreakers requires technician tree
Umbra is not dependent on anything much except playstyle

All are fun. U could try them all out

[atomic aspen]

It’s bugged to me

[modest jungle]

Anyone tried to really make a go of using clutch backpack talent? I'm levelling expertise on my devil's due backpack

[inner tendon]

I threw one on a Backfire build, works remarkably well.

[modest jungle]

Without hazpro?

The red bleeding effect puts me off though

[neon rain]

is this common bug? can't interact with the lever so we auto fail this countdown

[rain echo]

Happens to me a few times

[inner tendon]

No it has HazPro, just the Ceska piece is the Devil's Due instead of whatever other talent you pick.
This version of the build does require a Yaahl piece, be warned.

[modest jungle]

Yeah I did try a 100 bleed res build with yaahl and one improvised piece

The numbers though.. Hmm..

Idk. I saw abt 600k per hit

Didn't really like it though. Idk why. Probably the sound. I am not really a fan of the mpx

[inner tendon]

You actually only need 93.8% to negate Bleed entirely, but yeah the build isn't for everyone.
It requires a lot of specialised pieces rolled very specifically.

[tough marsh]

Yaahl need Jesus.

[cedar yacht]

Out

[inner tendon]

Yaahl just jealous.

[fair bone]

So are all named items equally likely to drop from a named cache?

[inner tendon]

As far as we know, yes.

Sometimes you'll go through funny periods where you get nothing but similar items, but it's basically all just RNG.

[rain echo]

We all love RNG don't we guys

[fair bone]

That I can inderstand.

I believe there are 40-50 named items, so each one has a 2%-2.5% chance of dropping

You'd need about 45 named caches to get your piece, on average, but you'd need to open about 100 named caches to be almost surely that you'll get the one piece you're looking for

[inner tendon]

Don't forget to remove all the Named things that aren't part of that pool, like the bulk of pistols, etc.

[fair bone]

What, not every named item belongs in the named caches ??

[foggy needle]

the 2 from cassia arent in the named caches, only 2 i can think of. all others are in it.

[tulip fiber]

The spec pistols aren’t either

[inner tendon]

I've never been 100% sure on the Sleipner/Stinger, but the Spec pistols are 100% not.

oh and Chill Out + Sleigher isn't.

[tulip fiber]

Send-Off

[foggy needle]

right crafted names arent in it, event named too.

[cedar yacht]

all craftable named arent there

[inner tendon]

Which is weird, because I got a Shield Splinterer from completing a project once.

[fair bone]

F. I can get the gift at least, can't I?

[hallow raptor]

Yes

[fair bone]

You know. With all this rules like "raids exotics don't drop from caches", "craft able" and this and that named pieces don't drop from caches, etc. Maybe it's worth putting together a list of the stuff that can drop from these caches in the spreadsheet

Most importantly, since all items have the same drop rate, it'd be trivial to have some useful information in the spreadsheet like how many caches you need to open to get the one piece you want, etc

[inner tendon]

To the last point: there's no RNG protection from what we know, so you have the same chance to get a specific item from a Cache no matter how many you open.
Gamblers fallacy can be a powerful trick.

[fair bone]

Gotcha ,I don't remember ever seeing one but I just had a lady death from a cache for first time ver after 500 hours so

[inner tendon]

As for the rest, a lot of that info is in there, just not in one place. How to obtain each item is specifically mentioned if you scroll across to the right.

[fair bone]

For sure, but still you can compute the # of caches you'd need to open to have a given chance of getting one

[inner tendon]

Imagine it like this: you roll a random number generator each time you open a cache.
Every time you open a fresh one, that generator resets to 0 attempts and you roll it again.

[fair bone]

Yeah I know

[inner tendon]

You can do all the probability of maths that you like, but at the end of the day it's all just RNG.

[fair bone]

But you can compute how many times you're expected to fail ub5il you get the one you want

Which is good information on how much effort I need to put to get me the gift without stepping into the DZ

Like if there are 40 named pieces in a named cache, half the players will get one with 25 caches

And 9 out of 10 players opening a named cache will get the gift.

[inner tendon]

You're making this much too specific. You could go 1000 caches without getting a single Gift, or you could get 5 in a row.
every single time is random.

[fair bone]

Sure you could be the unlucky one but that's fine. It's rng

[inner tendon]

take me for instance: I've collected about 15 Orbits so far, not a single Apartment.

[plucky mesa]

just take a blue hunters fury into the DZ and clear some landmarks. You'll get several 'Gifts'

[inner tendon]

the gift of having your Gift be someone else's gift after it's stolen.

[fair bone]

Which is fine, cause that's included in the probability

[plucky mesa]

today anyway....

[fair bone]

Is it provi day?

[plucky mesa]

thats not a thing anymore, since targeted loot doesn't need extracting and cannot be stolen

[inner tendon]

Just move to Australia, that way your DZ will be empty and you can farm as much as you want.

[plucky mesa]

yes

[inner tendon]

That takes away half the fun.

[fair bone]

Gotcha, I thought yesterday was provi day.

[plucky mesa]

only targetted loot though, exotics and contaminated loot is still up for grabs

[fair bone]

How many caches have u opened approximately?

[inner tendon]

Jeez IDK, been playing since launch.

I've never bought any from the CD vendor, although I have farmed a few Events.

actually that's a question: does anyone know exactly what the Hunters in CD drop? I see a 3rd icon there and apparently I'm maxed out but my eyes kinda suck.

[plucky mesa]

weavs, dog tags

[hallow raptor]

Took a long break, but I’m after kingbreaker. Prolly done CD 10 times (assault rifle targeted loot), maybe 7 or 8 CD named caches, and 25+ named caches from event vendor with no luck… standard.

[burnt pine]

Just goes to show how RNG can be. I came back from a break of a year or so, found out there was a new mode called Countdown, fumbled my way through the first few, and on the second run I got a god-rolled Kingbreaker.

[frank galleon]

Does the technological assest blueprints have a very low chance to drop? I mean on control points

[nimble spruce]

all the blueprints you don't currently own have an equal chance to drop from a control point, which one you get is random but you will eventually get them all

[hallow raptor]

Black hanging crate resource run, just got 600+ resources (various, roughly 150 each green and 70 each blue in just over ten minutes. Simple to do with all 4 characters.

[molten jetty]

so for this season, there's that six12 BP, and during Bardon's season, there's also a six12 BP, and now i'm having 2 of them in the crafting station, is that supposed to be the AA12 or is it something wrong?

[inner tendon]

acs-12 and the six12 are different weapons, so it's likely just a visual glitch that you have 2.

[molten jetty]

basically, this is what i meant, also both will craft the same gun too

[twilit otter]

Yea it was supposed to be the acs-12

[molten jetty]

OIC

[arctic tusk]

kind of weird question but which vector is generally the best?

[frank galleon]

Ty @nimble spruce

[molten jetty]

think most would say the 45 one with the stock, though there are some who prefer the 9mm one with measured for burst damage

[arctic tusk]

got it. got several vectors that im gonna level expertise but wasn't sure which one was worth keeping afterwords. think of using them for a crit build

[cedar tide]

Tac 9mm is alright, but 45 ACP is king

Either way, they just go brrr and need to reload more often than not. I'm still a fan of Dark Winter though.

[arctic tusk]

i like the vector as a gun in general, im just stupid when it comes to stuff like calibur and which ones are better. the ones i have the rolls/perks aren't really good on them, like Strained or damage to armor

[molten jetty]

basically like sneezing

[cedar tide]

I may have read here that Optimist might be okay on a Vector. Without the maths, I feel like it's okay burst damage, but Fast Hands is good utility on a crit build.

[valid bronze]

Fast hands or flatline is better on vector

[arctic tusk]

is flatline any good actually? i feel like if you're not running pulse of some kind it's not that good, but then you're running pulse in the first place. also does jammer count as being pulsed in pve?

[nimble spruce]

it's very strong but at the cost of needing that pulse, the easiest way to pulse is use the technician spec and the weapon mod that gives you (not compatible with all weapons, though)

jammer doesn't count as being pulsed, sadly

[arctic tusk]

figured running gunner or demo would be better if using a SMG but hey what do i know, im asking questions cuz i dont ;-;

[cedar yacht]

They are good when you arent running flatline

[dim crag]

I run Gunner with HF because 3rd of my armor every kill is funny

[valid bronze]

Yes tech class is good option. Extra dmg to dogs and you get a skill tier and laser for pulse

[nimble spruce]

most SMGs don't support the pulse laser so yeah, you're often better off with a different talent than flatline

[molten jetty]

also that 6 shot lock on missile thingy does surprisingly high dmg to dogs and mini tanks

[arctic tusk]

i'll think of something. also i thought the laser you have to aim at something for a sec or two to proc the pulse?

[cedar tide]

iirc, It would immediately pulse enemies as soon as you aim at them, but it's inconsistent and can be buggy sometimes

[arctic tusk]

that would explain why it never feels like i pulsed anything

[cedar tide]

It's been a thing for a while now or since the laser was released. Not sure if it's been addressed fully or what not

[narrow kraken]

i dont have nemesis but if i join some one else who dose and it drops for them dose it drop for me?

[arctic tusk]

doesnt it have to be within the trade window?

[narrow kraken]

oh idk

[cedar yacht]

You have to be in the party when it drops

[narrow kraken]

im just looking for an effective way to get the nemsis

[arctic tusk]

unless you built one already it wont drop iirc

like someone drop the chatterbox for me, and even though i have it, since i never crafted it myself, it wont drop for me

[narrow kraken]

so basically join somone who has it and hope it drops

[nimble spruce]

no, but if it drops for them they can chose to share it with you. However, if you get given one like this you won't get any others to drop for you, you have to actually do the project (and that's only achievable if you don't have any copies of the Nemesis in your inventory or stash)

[narrow kraken]

oh ok

darn

[arctic tusk]

nnothing to do but to wait for the weekly resets and hope one of the invaded missions is the ones you need

[nimble spruce]

personally I love sniping but find the Nemesis charge-up time really annoying to work with and the damage is way more than you actually need once you have headhunter stacks, so I rarely use it

[narrow kraken]

im tryna collect all the weapons

and i dont like mantis that much

[nimble spruce]

well, give it time and get the pieces through the normal weekly invasion rotation

it'll take time to get other weapons too (eg DZ named items) just because RNG

[arctic tusk]

named item caches are an option too

[nimble spruce]

yes, but RNG

[arctic tusk]

didn't say it was better, but rather do that than go into DZ and die to someone who doesnt even want the loot

[nimble spruce]

I'd agree (maybe slightly less so now DZ TL isn't contaminated), but given how long it takes to farm named caches and how many possible items they might drop, it's still likely to take weeks to get all the items

[arctic tusk]

what's TL again?

[valid bronze]

Target loot

[nimble spruce]

target loot

[valid bronze]

I'm struggling so hard to get FI knees with hsd

Bought 5 exotic caches wish me luck for some god rolls

[arctic tusk]

or to get another catharsis

[valid bronze]

Lol

God a second god rolled catharsis

My first god rolled one was from the season pass last season

[arctic tusk]

what does melee damage scale off of btw?

[valid bronze]

Weapon dmg and a little bit of hsd I think

[arctic tusk]

stupid question , whats hsd?

[valid bronze]

Headshot dmg

[arctic tusk]

got claws out from a cache while back, and got bloody knuckle. thinking of using lady death to make a melee build

[valid bronze]

It would be decent in pvp but other than that melee builds don't really work besides low difficulty

[arctic tusk]

right, melee damage doesn't scale that well, forgot

[valid bronze]

BK is very strong if you can keep it active

[arctic tusk]

bullet king? (im very dumb in case that wasnt obvious)

[modest jungle]

In this case he meant bloody knuckle. The glove exotic

[arctic tusk]

oh. haven't gotten a chance to use it yet

[cedar tide]

Would be pretty useful during the Guardians GE though

Sweet Dreams will always be awesome if you want that melee goodness (non-elites though)

[arctic tusk]

i just poked around looking at old threads saying how using claws out with lady death would be good

[fallow inlet]

Hey Kettle

[nimble spruce]

hey Saph

[ruby ether]

Can i currently get Coyote Mask without WONY dlc? I'm very confused.

[foggy needle]

nope its DLC only

theres only like 7-10 exotics you can get that arent DLC.

[ruby ether]

Ok thanks

[mild widget]

i wanna play with people

[rain echo]

#lfg-playstation

[hasty hull]

Does Umbra Initiative drop anywhere in the wild? I just accidently dismantled the kneepads, because TD2 user interface is just way too cute.

[vague idol]

they do yeah, also targeted loot in countdown

[hasty hull]

Cool, good to know. God the inventory UI in this game is oppressively overengineered. 🙃

[rotund sonnet]

There is 1 reliable build for melee I use. Also melee scales off of NOTHING literally, headshot dmg gives it a tiny bit of damage that is not worth it

[dim crag]

Striker stacks give melee dmg tho

I did a 150k melee when I was playing with it haha

[rotund sonnet]

They do but at the time you build up the stacks someone will bonk u before u touch em

And they go down so quickly

In PvP only way to use melee efficiently is healer build sysco

Since sysco also gives dmg

[mellow trout]

Do exotic caches from weekly requisitions drop wony exotics

[errant wave]

What's the best way to get max rolled mods? Or is it just rng and no real specific method other than using loot allocation to always get mods

[cedar tide]

Heroic or Legendary content would have higher chances of getting max (or close to max) rolled gear and weapons, but it's still RNG no matter what

Essentially, take high risks and get (mostly) high rewards

[storm river]

Mark stuff as favorite and you wont be able to deconstruct or sell them

[inner tendon]

Yep, as long as an Exotic doesn't require a Project or is locked to Raid/Leg, you can get one.
Assuming you own WONY that is.

[mellow trout]

Ah

[wise echo]

Skill Repair vs. Repair-skills?
what is the difference?

[cinder shadow]

i have the 8 NY hunters masks but still missing two keys anyone can help with that

[oak talon]

repair skills is the stat that increases repairs that skills provide,
skill repair is the stat of the artificer hive of how much it heals skill proxies each time it sends a charge their way, its increased by repair skill aswell,
also 99% of the time when someone says either they mean the repair skill stat, unless they are specifically talking about the artificer hive

[wise echo]

ty

[wise echo]

repair drone falls under which? former or latter?

i guess former... so is the skill repair only for the artificer hive?

[oak talon]

yeah, repair skill increases repair drones armour repair

and yes, i believe the only place skill repair is used ingame is with the artificer, unless there is some obscure other place it pops up that i cant remember right now

[empty sand]

Trying to get ridgeway pride, but zero fs never dropped when i completed summit. any other fast methods to get the perfectly unbreakable talent to drop?

[tulip fiber]

Farm badger tuff

[empty sand]

figured that was my only option, been doing that

ty tho

[strong nimbus]

I get nothing but badger tuff. Including ZF chest. Just use shotgun for primary wep. I do the Scorpio.

[empty sand]

okay bet ill try that? any reason why specifically?

[oak talon]

if they are implying that more badger tuff drop while using a shotgun, then the reason is that they dont have any idea what they are talking about and are just stabbing in the dark at a system that is now pretty well understood, and does not work in that way, main weapon does not matter for drops, TL is what matters.

[cinder shadow]

do countdown with Badger Tuff as targeted loot you should get it pretty fast and try to use the countdown requisition to buy named item caches

[inner tendon]

That would certainly be a very interesting way of playing div2 if it worked like that.
Imagine all the builds people would run!

[burnt pine]

The plural of anecdote is not data. Just because somebody got a Zero F while running shotgun doesn't mean that's how it works.

[inner tendon]

Yes I think they get it already.

[empty sand]

yea i managed to get it to finally drop via summit and playing on max diff. thanks for the advice though guys

[fallow inlet]

Hey Pain

[burnt pine]

Hi Saph.

[burnt pine]

Do the blind and bleed effects of the Trauma chest talent have individual cooldowns?

[nimble spruce]

I think so, yeah

[inner tendon]

Yep!

Applies bleed to an enemy hit in the chest. Cooldown: 30 seconds."```

[valid bronze]

If you have galavanize on does that give you bonus armor as well?

[vague idol]

only when hitting is my guess

would think it applies to you as well

[fair bone]

How many hunters at the beginning of countdown, 3 (one per countermeasures) or 4?

Are the three secondary objectives and the main objectives always located in the same buildings? I know that the goals change match to match but I'm wondering whether the route I should take is always the same

[delicate tartan]

Have not received a firewall backpack just Paragon mask.

[fair bone]

What do we use the hunter dogtags for again?

[rain echo]

Used as CD currency as the end of a CD Match the tags are converted into currency if your talking about countdown

[fair bone]

Oh gotcha, that's why grabbing those dogtags matters

[valid bronze]

And those mats

[burnt pine]

When you hit those status effects mentioned, yes. The text is misleading. It says "allies" but you get it too. I have a build with Galvanize and Vanguard that I love.

[mellow trout]

I feel like I die almost instantly and the enemies are bullet sponges on raids

Are they designed like that or is my stuff just trash

[true siren]

if you dont know what you are doing, probably a bit of part a and a bit of part b

a tip, though- discovery raids arent worth doing. you cant get the exclusive exotics and the mechanics are just different enough to trip you up in the normal version

[mellow trout]

Yeah I'm new to all of it so sounds about right

[rain echo]

Discovery mode dummies down alot of mechanics iirc

[mellow trout]

Also regarding the shd level for Keeners watch, how on earth am I gonna go up like a billion levels

[true siren]

by playing alot

If you want levels, best bet is to get a decent build and farm out some convoys

[inner tendon]

^
it also helps a lot if you do the weekly Invaded missions, as well as many Bounties as you can. You'll never be low on Faction Keys again.

[molten jetty]

oh yes, discovery raid, we got one guy who has been practising DH discovery mode for some time and tried to do the actual one with the team yesterday, and mess up the final bit, as he kindly explained "we will just gonna sit by the generator one at a time, what's going to go wrong?"

[mellow trout]

Raids look like a nightmare

I did dark hours once and got very hard carried and never touched them again

[tough marsh]

Doing key runs is the fastest method to stock up on faction keys

[inner tendon]

Thank you, I'm definitely a new player so I wouldn't know that.

[tough marsh]

You're welcome.

Have fun out there, agent!

[true siren]

Get a basic red build going (spreadsheet pinned in #td2-build-advice has it, standard red build), then watch a video on the mechanics and then join a group that is willing to teach you- dont just join a group expecting them to teach you, some just wanna get it done.

[burnt pine]

Interesting phenomenon: got a backup call for a control point assault. Saw 4 directives on, including fog of war. Yet, I could still see directional threat indicators. Bug or something else I'm missing? https://i.imgur.com/43pheZk.jpg

Don't do Iron horse

Sheraping is not easy especially when newer players think they know everything nothing against them just gets annoying having to repeat myself

[ancient vector]

can you only get the coyote mask from jefferson trade center?

[inner tendon]

Nope!
Best way is to go: Targeted Loot: [Mask], +Directives or Countdown.

[delicate moat]

D2 is currently on sale for £20 with all DLC on PS store. Is worth getting at this stage as a brand new player or not?

[ancient vector]

ive been playing countdown with mask as targeted loot but ive only got like 3 vile masks and nothing else

[inner tendon]

RNG be RNG'ing, just gotta keep trying.
@delicate moat That's pretty good value, if you enjoy the base game then I'd definitely get the expansion. Is there a tutorial for it on PS?

[delicate moat]

I played the original about 4 years ago so I have an idea what to expect

[nimble spruce]

directives do just bug out sometimes

[nimble spruce]

some of the specs have glove transmogs instead of backpack ones (firewall, sharpshooter, survivalist)

[rotund sonnet]

Is it still possible to turn off invasion?

[inner tendon]

You can toggle the missions to be not invaded, but outside of that: no.

[rotund sonnet]

Leg only invaded?

[inner tendon]

Legendary is a unique faction (White Tusk), so can't be "invaded" exactly.

the Invaded Weekly missions are 3 regular ones, and then 1 Stronghold. Completing all 4 unlocks Tidal Basin.

[fallow inlet]

Hey MiloticN7,Kettle,

[nimble spruce]

hey Saph

[frank galleon]

Of i didnt play in seasson 8 how can i get the blueprint of the gr39

[cold mirage]

Tidal legendary does need you to complete the invasion still iirc

[next perch]

Picaros holster.
One of the best in slot for DPS like contractors and foxes?

[cedar yacht]

on yellow dps build iirc

[snow crag]

Widely used in DZ builds

Depends on what you're running tho. I'm putting together a hsd build with it for the armor, wpn dmg and hsd mixed in

[next perch]

Oh yeah,I forgot to put dz in the question

[noble beacon]

For a hardcore characters in Dark Hours, will I need to do the DLC and grind for a DPS build at level 40 or will a level 30 build be fine?

[vague idol]

seems to be very favorable or however its called lol

[inner tendon]

It's still not invaded itself, as Tidal Basin can't be invaded.

[inner tendon]

See the name? that means you found that on floor 1-20.

[vapid nest]

Yeah, so if you have all the components you can craft it.

[muted isle]

okay, thanks guys

i cant believe i didnt know this

[inner tendon]

It's way too complex and incredibly non-user friendly.
Welcome to div2 Projects.

Wait until you reach the next Step.

[mellow trout]

I had to research how to craft liberty otherwise I'd have had no idea what that first component was for 💀

[odd shell]

Skip all the steps and just steal one from someone in the DZ, that's how I got mine. 😂

If you have good aim its really good

[snow crag]

Sec, I snapped a pic of his build

I just take pics of builds I die to so I can figure shit out

[vapid nest]

In a good group. Raids are fun, exciting, and potentially rewarding.
In a bad group, Raids are about huffing hopium and copium until your lungs give out.

[snow crag]

The group I normally run with is good

The raid lead has been busy as of late so I might have to step up and start my own DH, I won't even touch IH until I excessively research it

We cheese DH so hard that I don't even know the normal mechanics for the buddy + lucy and Dizzy/Weasel fight

[rain echo]

IH requires alot of communication and patience

[snow crag]

We just bully them with scorpios and gg ez

[vapid nest]

"Control room is easy, you'll be fine"
Me on fire about die and not knowing what the buttons do

[rain echo]

Gotta also be able to do screens when whoever calls out what shapes

[snow crag]

lmao they stuck at the middle room / doors that weren't left or right side

Yeah I was doing screens

So I was murdering ads / shooting my respective box

[vapid nest]

"Wait what does bucket mean? Guys help, there's an arrows on the left side."

[snow crag]

or w/e

[rain echo]

I feel bad for whoever the tank is in the 2nd boss 😂

[snow crag]

That's usually our raid lead who does it

[vague idol]

same though

[rain echo]

I tanked once in IH it was fun

[snow crag]

I still need a Yaahl holster for my build

I do have an FI heal build ready to go

[vapid nest]

I don't have enough brain power for control room so I just ad clear.

[vague idol]

i'm only missing yaahl chestpiece with unbreakable

[rain echo]

I got that the other day lmao

[snow crag]

Bro I'm getting so pissy with the shit rolls lmao

[vague idol]

relatable

[snow crag]

The best I got for my pvp build was a hsd unbreakable fenris chest with chd on it

I need to either roll the CHD to hazpro or the wpn dmg to armor

I'm alright with running one red

as long as the backpack comes with the stars aligned

[vapid nest]

I'm missing a ton of guns from my collection. Hell I'd even take shit rolls with the right attributes at this point.

[vague idol]

i dont even use headshot cuz fuck i dont have the patience to aim heads 💀

[snow crag]

I always aim for heads

It's evidently better in pvp anyways

[rain echo]

I aim for bodies

[vapid nest]

Just left click with the crosshair over their heads.

[snow crag]

Players don't stumble/stagger

[vapid nest]

and boom already like half the job done.

[snow crag]

so headshots are more guaranteed

Yeah you go down quick as fuck if you get tracked for like 2 sec

[rain echo]

They can't survive a diamondback build 😌

[vague idol]

that i noticed yeah, i just gotta not aim back to body when aiming head which i do 100% of the time

[rain echo]

With HSD

[snow crag]

I've mastered the stagger and flick down and headshot execute with my HF scorpio build lol

Sometimes I'll orbit the fuckers for style and sweet crit

PvE tho

[vapid nest]

I remember one time, I got two people at the same time while one was hopping over the wall to jump down.
Funniest shit I've ever seen happen with the TAC .50.

Rarely do I get collaterals, but God when I do... What a massive ego boost.

[snow crag]

Best kills I got the other day were this dude flagged to shoot me in the back

I got him but had red armor, decoy'd off to the side

his buddy flags, doesn't see me hiding underneath where he was about to jump and saw my decoy

was jumping over to go for my decoy and I just shot him in the head as he jumped

I love predator/prey dynamics like that

I have more fun trying to get them away from eachother so I can fight them individually; getting open fired on by a group is a turn off

[narrow pelican]

i'm not sure that's how I'd describe being teamshot
Death is not what I would describe as a "turnoff", lol, that seems like an understatement

[burnt pine]

I don't do PvP at all so n00b question: when people go rogue in the DZ, is it instant or is there a short warm-up period of a few seconds so somebody doesn't potentially get killed instantly from behind?

[vague idol]

basically instant, gotta press a button to go rogue though but can still get killed pretty quick

[snow crag]

There's an animation

You hit your ISAC node on your BP to go rogue so there's about a 1 sec tip off that someone is flagging

[vague idol]

that yeah ^

[burnt pine]

OK, how is this dude able to fire guns inside a safehouse? https://gfycat.com/soupyshockedbug

[rain echo]

I prefer TD1s rogue action

[astral musk]

Javier Kajika moment

[gritty bluff]

so for those base materials, can you still only get them from Iron Horse or is there another method now?

and is the high-end named items only?

[tough marsh]

Deconstructing Foundry Bulwark and Future Initiative pieces give the materials

[gritty bluff]

alright sweet

[tough marsh]

Well, one of the two. The other is from the raid I think

[gritty bluff]

god dammit

[gritty bluff]

do they drop it everytime or do I have to wait for a weekly reset?

[tough marsh]

I'm not sure. I only just got the projects like you

[modern sparrow]

Can i remove invasion from open world without completing invastion missions?

[odd condor]

No, invaded areas only cycle weekly and are not affected by the invaded missions

[oak talon]

they are from the bosses, and once per weekly reset, but the project give you it back after completion, so once you have 40 you can complete both

[gritty bluff]

oh sweet

[oak talon]

no, the zones only get cleared from BT and go back to normal once you do the stronghold, and west potomac after tidal basin

[hallow raptor]

Toggle mission mode to change invaded missions back to regular factions. You don’t have to do them as invaded.

[fallow inlet]

Hey Bark, MiloticN7,Pain, Fearlxss, Ikia

Hope everyones having a good gaming day

[vague idol]

just woke up tbh so taking it slow haha 😄

[fair bone]

Is there NO way to matchmake for free roaming in a specific district?

Oh hey Saph!! Long time no see

[burnt pine]

Nope

[nimble spruce]

you can call for backup or open your group in the hope of other matchmakers joining you, or you can regularly check the SHD map for other's calls for backup in the area you want

[fair bone]

Yeah I usually call backup but I sometimes try to avoid it, if it's a short thing like the 3 activities needed for the daily project, the backup agent won't get enough time to farm the endorsement so it feels unfair to them

I didn't realize I could open my solo session to have others jump in?

[nimble spruce]

yeah if you open the social tab and click at the top bar above your name there are options, you can set your group to open there. I'm not sure how likely it is that a random matchmaker might join your or not, though.

[burnt pine]

Damn, TIL.

So obvious in the UI too. 😛

[inner tendon]

Fair warning: the "open group" setting can and will change itself to friends only fairly often.
I contacted support and apparently it's intentional so

[vague idol]

that seem rather odd to call it intentional honestly, i'd expect if you set it to open itll stay like that and not jump back to friends only

[fair bone]

Are the manhunt control points supposed not to give you any xp when you compl3te them?

[inner tendon]

You would think so, but Support said directly that it's meant to be like that.
I can only guess at why.

[burnt pine]

Easier to call it intentonal than to say it's screwed up and they are not working on a fix at the moment. Complete speculation, of course. 😉

[nimble spruce]

I think 'working as intended' is their default response to anything they have no intention of fixing

they said the same thing when I queried the way some ammo (AR and SMG especially) goes missing whenever you jump to someone elses game or to an offsite location

[inner tendon]

The wording was "intentional" and this was at least a year ago, if not longer.
I very much doubt that it's just an unfixed bug by that response.

[burnt pine]

Surprise hidden difficulty level. 😄

[fair bone]

That's disappointing, and unfair

I could use the xp, no wonder why I'm lagging behind in the apparel event

[dark zephyr]

Guys, I'm having serious issue with my game. I really dunno what to do, I'm either super lucky or the game is super bugged (no pun intended)

I've been playing for the past 3 days or so, and all I've been getting ever since I've hit lvl 10 is stupid sniper rifles, regular rifles (not ARs), Airaldi and Douglas brands

I'm playing with my friend, she's the host and enjoys playing as a sniper, but she gets all sorts of gear. All I've been getting is that + occasional green SMG or Shotgun, maybe Fenris vest once in a while

[burnt pine]

Yeah, that's early game for you. All kinds of random crap. No point having builds till you hit 40 because you'll be out-levelling the stuff you have constantly.

[dark zephyr]

Yeah, I know - that's not my point. The game literally throws only sniper sets at me, like it wants to tell me something so bad, forcing me to cling to those rarest moments when I finally get AR or decent brand piece, leaving me with severely underleveled gear, especially in the Dark Zone

[burnt pine]

The "R" part of "RNG" 🙂

[dark zephyr]

I thought DZ would be my saviour, but hell no - all the crates and bosses drop SAME STUFF, what the hell

[vague idol]

are things like this reportable or is this just some dumb stupid shit that you cant do anything about?

[burnt pine]

Report it. There's no downside.

[vague idol]

👍

[burnt pine]

I'm sure it's against ToS.

[dark zephyr]

I've spent AN HOUR in DZ just now and all I got was Alps backpack and AKM ...the rest of the stuff is the one I've mentioned above

This is borderline torture, I don't wanna go sniper

[burnt pine]

DZ at level 10. Brave.

[dark zephyr]

21

I legit spent 11 levels with this drop pool

I'm looking at google spreadsheets right now and I don't understand how I can possibly be that lucky with all the branded gear in the game

[burnt pine]

Well, if you're asking if the game is bugged, then no, it doesn't seem to be. Just bad luck so far. And there's no real "fix" that I can think of.

[dark zephyr]

God help me, then

[burnt pine]

Targeted loot opens up in endgame. When you hit World Tier 5.

[dark zephyr]

Great, now I just gotta figure out how to snipe my way there

[nimble spruce]

sniping is a valuable skill and satisfying way to play the game (especially once you get the Headhunter talent and can basically 1-shot every enemy) so I guess just take the 'opportunity' to get good at it

[burnt pine]

Check if the White House vendor is selling a better gun.

[fair bone]

Is it just the CPs that dont give xp?

[nimble spruce]

I think Rivens was referring to the group privacy settings changing themselves, not the manhunt CP XP thing

[inner tendon]

Yep!
I've honestly never heard of the xp bug, but it sounds possible.

[fair bone]

Yeah I didn't get any xp from the 4 manhunt cp

Also I just finished the chirpy mission and I got the same audio I got from the last prime target ("wally")

[nimble spruce]

didn't get xp from the CP captures either, but the audio file was the right one for me at least

annoyingly I actually failed the Chirpy bounty by dying to adds after killing her, but the game decided it was complete and wouldn't let me have another go (except by resetting the whole manhunt)

[fair bone]

See? That's very disappointing, 4x CP is a sizable amount of xp

[nimble spruce]

yeah, I was trying to farm the remaining apparel items from the event at the same time, so I felt like progress was a lot slower than I would have liked

[fair bone]

Same

[nimble spruce]

solo'd them all on heroic +5 and was like 'why haven't I gained more levels already?'

[dark zephyr]

That's how I've been sustaining myself, but only with P90, because even vendors have sniper gear and weapons for some reason

Campus has SVD and Airaldi, Settlement SiG and some brand that gives headshot dmg

That's why I thought my game is bugged

[fair bone]

Was it the first time you noticed this in a manhunt? I can't remember about the previous targets, but previous targets didn't include that many CP anyway

[nimble spruce]

It was the first time I'd noticed, but it's also the first time I'd been actively caring about xp gains and also I'd already seen someone else comment on it so I was keeping an eye out - I could easily have not noticed otherwise.

[sharp geyser]

can anyone tell me how to unlock gatehouse facility

[nimble spruce]

youtube can I'm sure

[bold fulcrum]

What is the best way to get the system corruption gear set

[vague idol]

legacy caches, conflict

[bold fulcrum]

Well shit

[nimble spruce]

if you want to farm DZ for it, look out for gear slot target loot (eg holsters, knees etc) as the gearset itself will never be targeted

can also sometimes be bought from DZ vendors and clan vendors

[fossil canyon]

Is the apparel caches glitched? I cant seem to buy the event crates for some reason

[fair bone]

Is it a visual bug when you have 3 pieces but only the first 2 set boni are in white?

For example you hace 3 provi but the3rd bonus (chd) is grayed out

[primal mason]

I gave my friends this mask, ya'll think its good for a bullet king built for him?

[tough marsh]

That's a non-issue really. You can capture other CPs or reset the map

[fair bone]

Well, I was hoping doing these 4 cps for the manhunt would also contribute xp for the apparel event, I'm a bit behind

Ngl those CPs were quite tough actually, I don't know if it's because it was BTs or maybe Massive spices it up a bit for the manhunt compared to a normal CP fight

[carmine flicker]

Funnily enough they don’t have the specific enemy that you kill (a named enemy in cp level 4) and the extra wave that spawns in with them, both for taking the cp and defending it. So it is actually a bit easier

[sharp geyser]

do you guys know if tidal basin was nerfed?

[novel bone]

Any good strategies for farming Bullet King?

[inner tendon]

Same as 90% of loot in div2:
Targeted Loot: [LMG], then either +Directives or Countdown.

(note: requires owning WONY)

[novel bone]

Summit it is then

[inner tendon]

playing on Challenging or above will pretty heavily increase your chances, as that removes all purple drops from enemies.

[tough marsh]

How do you mean Nerfed?

[inner tendon]

I believe they're asking if the "exotic farm" at the end of Tidal Basin Leg' was fixed.

[novel bone]

Okay last question before I just google it myself:
What are some really good ways to farm specialization points?

[cedar yacht]

leveling up

[inner tendon]

Bounties (that have your current Spec Tree icon as a reward with a number of points listed), Weekly Invaded, generic SHD farming because yeah, each Lvl up gives you some.
I'd honestly recommend doing a bit of everything, focusing mostly on the first 2.

[lunar osprey]

Seen yaahl but never seen syscor selling

[vague idol]

doesn't syscor only come from legacy caches?

[fallow inlet]

@vague idol you can cd farm it

Happy Halloween 🎃 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃

[vague idol]

syscor is dz only saph lol

or legacy caches

[dim crag]

I got a chest with max CHD yesterday from a Legacy cache lol

[lunar osprey]

Conflict cache also cause it's including dz pool
Honestly I have never seen syscor selling at shop, if it happened, it definitely big news and tons of YouTube video talking about that

[robust cloak]

Anyone knows what exactly is the issue when 2 total freezes hits in 10 min :D? Re-installing ATM and DDU up next. Anything else i can do?

[carmine flicker]

Yesterday I did leg capitol but I noticed something weird. At the end here you get to see your stats it said I had some amount of skill damage done, but I never used an offensive skill. Only the restorer hive and reinforcer chem launcher. Is this a bug or something?

[robust cloak]

Probably. Unless you harmed an enemy by throwing the skill at hit ;D

[nimble spruce]

Some methods of dealing damage get classed as skill damage by default (eg negotiators transferred damage)

[carmine flicker]

I was just running a future initiative healing build

Btsu data gloves and wyvern backpack since I didn’t have alps with safeguard

[nimble spruce]

If you wipe and restart the mission your previous stats get carried forward, if you changed builds

[carmine flicker]

Didn’t change

[nimble spruce]

Other than that, dunno: the ways of that stat screen are pretty mysterious

[robust cloak]

The whole game is mysterious 😄

When i first started to play DIV 2, i had no issues with freezes or crashed. Others in my clan had them. Nobody could figure out what´s causing it.

Some months later i started having them also after some game updates and RTX updates included.

Now i have a thinking my rig is faulty 😄. Total freezes. Hard reset does nothing. Only hard shut downs. All this with DIV2 only

Don´t know if the issue is with Radeon graphics also.
If it is with RTX only then the game does not support it clearly.

[tough marsh]

It happens to all of us

[rain zinc]

@robust cloak i am on console after “maintenance” thing last week i get a lot of problems and crashes and everything feels so heavy like my character takes time to turn it with from 20/20 sensivity to 10/10

But before it was running very smoothly on ps4 slim

[plucky mesa]

awesome

[robust cloak]

I know the feeling considering i am on PC

[inner tendon]

It'd be more special if they were the only JTF with that glitch.
Campus at the least has it as well.

[valid bronze]

Random enemy's have it as well

[carmine flicker]

Alright I got a theory on why this happened. I was using the scorpio so if status effect damage counts as skill damage then that could be why

[true siren]

@spark wedge Dont abuse the photo feature.

[fallow inlet]

Hey Nug, Rivens, Aspect

[heady stirrup]

Hit level 1000, do I just get scavenge points from now on?

[valid bronze]

Yep

[fallow inlet]

@heady stirrup time to fire up the wony pony. New character jump to wony complete get points buy share blueprints use points on original character, delete 2nd character rinse and repeat

[heady stirrup]

Huh, didn't know that was a thing

[valid bronze]

Not worth it at lvl 1000

I would wait till about 3k to really be effective

[fallow inlet]

I do it every so often I'm over 2k

Why would this skill the only have who expertise bonus applies after the tier bonus? Feels arbitrary https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/comments/yifh2p/comment/iuiwktg/

[muted isle]

maybe ill try again? this is just a test mods lol

[snow crag]

Nah p sure they would've commented

You gucci

Anyways gratw

I got a syscor bp from the holster loot dz earlier

Had to extract it

[muted isle]

i hear they are common in legacy caches, whens the next time ill be able to get some?

[snow crag]

Probably when golden bullet rolls around

Then next season

Just play in the dz when the targeted loot is a piece of nonspecific gear

Like holster or bp or kneepads or mask

More likely to get a syscor out of it tho its still rare

I got the bp in the holster zone which is dz west

Also got a bp when dz south had 5.11

[muted isle]

i have for almost the whole two months ive been playing lol

[snow crag]

RIP

Glass cannon is a chest piece talent. U can't equip 2

[spark wedge]

[sharp geyser]

where coudl I find the chameleon?

[inner tendon]

Targeted Loot: [Assault Rifle], +Directives or Countdown, Challenging or above.
alternatively: Bounties. Final bosses drop them like candy.

[sharp geyser]

Thank you!

[rain zinc]

If i do directives on challenging would it drop exptic too?

[median kernel]

When you get a blueprint for a weapon in this game can you keep rerolling the stats like you could in Div 1 as long as you have the materials I assume?

[rain zinc]

Man… this rng is bullshit heroic with 4 directives from 1 to floor 37 and no exotic lot on my target set loot

Fuck this shit

[cedar tide]

Unfortunately, that's the consequence of RNG. You could try to play with a full group and maybe they would share the exos with you once it drops for them.

[burnt pine]

Yeah, I got two exotics today just helping out two different people on backup calls, one with a control point and the other with a main mission. And then there will be weeks before I find anything.

[inner tendon]

Any difficulty can drop Exotics, but Challenging removes all purple drops from enemies, meaning you improve your chances.

[rain zinc]

Yeah i give up lol

[fallow inlet]

Hey Zephyr, Pain, Rivens,

[hallow raptor]

For the last week they are only available for purchase. Was that way for every apparel event.

[hasty hull]

So I'm...not matchmaking, the past 24 hours or so? Anyone else experience this? I.e. if I queue up for Answer the Call, that usually drops me in a group within a couple minutes, but over the last day or so, it sits there looking for a group for hours.

[dry cypress]

dumb question, but does skill tier affect damaging status effects, or is it just status effects mod?

[hallow raptor]

Difficulty?

[hasty hull]

As soon as I posted that, it found a group. xD

[foggy needle]

yes but only status effect caused by skills, easy to see if you raise skill tier and look at skill stats.

[dry cypress]

ahhhh makes sense, thanks!

[fallow inlet]

Hey Azurmen32

[novel bone]

Does Umbra Initiative and Chatterbox stack?

[brisk coral]

does anyone know a fast control point to farm for BPs, or is it faster to do the other options that I can't remember of the top of my head?

[nimble spruce]

sleeping giant is a good one, nicely contained enemies & very close to a safehouse (prob more interesting to run around taking lots of different ones though - fun >>> speed in my book)

[valid bronze]

If you mean do they both increase fire rate then yes

[valid bronze]

I personally like riverside gas station

[hasty hull]

I'm sort of confused about The Summit, as a returning player. When I find an access key...does that mean there's a chest on that floor, or...??? Like, how does that work?

[carmine flicker]

On a different floor

Before you reach a checkpoint

So say you find the key on level x, you will find the crate on floor y which is before floor z

[hasty hull]

Checkpoint = when I take an elevator ride?

[carmine flicker]

Yes

[nimble spruce]

the chests are always and only at the end of floors ending in 3, 6 or 9 - you can find the keys on any of the 3 floors leading up to that point (although in my experience they most often drop on the same floor as the chest)

[carmine flicker]

Wait they can drop on the same floor as they chest? Never experienced that

[hasty hull]

And what intervals are the checkpoints at? I probably should have figured that out, but it's all a haze of violence and confusion, lol.

[nimble spruce]

checkpoints are at the end of floors ending in 3, 6, 9 or 0

but the 0 ones are boss floors, no chests there

[hasty hull]

Okay. So there's 1 chest per checkpoint, on the floor leading up to the checkpoint.

[nimble spruce]

yes

[hasty hull]

Got it- that's exactly what I needed to know. Thanks agents.

[nimble spruce]

the chest is right at the end immediately before the elevator (may be off in a side room somewhere)

[carmine flicker]

And the key won’t work on a chest, well say you collect key, hit checkpoint and enter elevator then while on a different checkpoint you find a chest. On that chest the key won’t work, it has to be for the checkpoint you found the key at

[inner tendon]

I'm reasonably sure that the previous key vanishes once you pass the Chest Floor.

So you can't "save them up".

[valid bronze]

That is true

[hasty hull]

And you can't go back to a floor once you pass a checkpoint, right?

[carmine flicker]

Only if you join someone else’s group or reset the entire summit so you start at floor 1

And well you can explore previous floors there won’t be any enemies or something there

[hasty hull]

Could you theoretically go back to open a chest you missed? (this happened to me a little bit ago- found a key but was fuzzy on where the chests are in relation to the keys, took an elevator ride to the next section)

[inner tendon]

I'm like 80% sure (haven't Summit'd in a while) that once you pass a Chest, a Key found on a following floor only works for that "set of floors" Chest.
aka: find a Key on Floor 7, will only work up until Floor 9.

[valid bronze]

Does the crit chance modifier for countdown actually work

[hasty hull]

On another note...the rogue agents in this summit activity have a nonsensical amount of armor. Good lord.

[burnt pine]

If you're at your cap from your build already, no.

[novel bone]

Is it just me or ISAC has double voice lines for enemy SHD tech? So if a turret's spotted, he says "Rogue yada yada", and then immediately after "Hostile yada yada".

I don't know if it's a glitch or not

[hasty hull]

I don't know the answer, but I also noticed that. ISAC loses his $%#& on the Summit floors where the crate spawns a bunch of hacked gadgets.

[novel bone]

That I did notice

Seems like he glitches out every time we're hacked(?)

[ebon breach]

What do you guys think with umbra?.. I am planning to run it with backfire, if anyone got a good suggestions for backfire build lemme know thank you

[hasty hull]

I don't have Backfire, but I -do- have Lady Death, and lemme tell ya, it slaps.

From cover, I activate crusader, which pulls me out of cover and activates the Into the Light talent from Umbra, march around a corner toward a baddie to get the stacks going on Lady Death, and just simply delete them.

[narrow pelican]

Lady Death is fun solo/duo but its tiny mag and requirement to constantly be sprinting to charge up means it falls off hard in 3-4 man content

[foggy needle]

it already falls off on heroic solo

[dim crag]

Do you get Tac Assessment from CP Named bosses?

[narrow kraken]

so i have a question how do I get more loot? in the Summit?

[foggy needle]

Summit and Countdown are the best places.

[prisma whale]

Right but YOU CAN GO FAST AS F*** BOOIIII

[foggy needle]

Lol

[narrow pelican]

Real talk, solo summit had so much running I did some casual average clear times using lady death

I legit did better with lady death than with an AR build

summit is kind of w/e these days though

[spark wedge]

can every gear piece have a talent or is it only backpack/chest?

[nimble spruce]

backpack, chest, exotics, and weapons

any build or guide you find which shows talents on other pieces is wayyyyy out of date

[spark wedge]

nah, im just asking cuz im new and i thought they could fit on any gear piece

glass canon + bloodsucker is probably gonna be my go to

[nimble spruce]

that's...not a very synergistic combination

[spark wedge]

works for me

[nimble spruce]

glass cannon will mean that the bonus armor you gain from bloodsucker will be gone in a couple of hits. Usually glass cannon users will run with vigilance on the backpack and just rely on avoiding almost all incoming damage

(takes practice, of course)

[spark wedge]

whats vigilance

[nimble spruce]

backpack talent, one of the most popular for gun damage builds

[spark wedge]

i mean what does it do

[nimble spruce]

25% total weapon damage as long as you haven't taken any hits in the last few seconds

[spark wedge]

damn

yeah that sounds p good

[nimble spruce]

btw there's a spreadsheet linked in the pinned messages in #td2-build-advice which has all the gear, talents, weapons etc so you can look anything up there. It also has a number of good builds of various types

[spark wedge]

ty ty

i assume the shield is apart of that build?

[nimble spruce]

often yeah, although cover is a better option as with glass cannon your shield will die very quickly

[spark wedge]

oh so it applies to the shield too?

[nimble spruce]

yup. Moving around behind cover is a key tactic, enemies take a second to reaim when you pop out of a different place from where they last saw you

[spark wedge]

how does canon even work, do all enemies in a radius just get buffed against you, or do you get hit and then the 50% buff is applied

[spark wedge]

i noticed that

[nimble spruce]

no radius, just all damage you take is increased and all damage you do is increased, regardless of source

[valid bronze]

You deal 25% more dmg with everything, but you and all skills take 50% more dmg

With perfect glass cannon it's 30/60

[spark wedge]

perfect?

wait so every talent has a perfect variant?

[valid bronze]

There's named pieces that have perfect talents

Not every talent

[spark wedge]

exotic armor pieces i assume?

or rng?

[rotund sonnet]

Named items

[spark wedge]

ah, so there are non exotic named items

i thought they were one in the same

[valid bronze]

Nope

Like there's the normal smg "cmmg banshee" then there's a named one "the grudge". And then the exotic one lady death

Named items are still gold high end pieces

There are also named weapons and gear that instead of "perfect" talents they have fixed attributes that are either A. Unique to that piece. Or B. Higher than that stat could be on another non named piece

[spark wedge]

can perfect variants be stored in the reconfig lib?

[carmine flicker]

No

They are unique to the weapon or gear they are found on and can’t be changed to another

[mellow trout]

I just got my first bullet king is it any good

[carmine flicker]

If you can build around it properly. Most will straight up say no since it deals little damage but it relies on the build to become good

[mellow trout]

I run umbra with the rof boost it seems like a bullet hose

[valid bronze]

GR9 with steady handed

[ebon breach]

alright that's a good one, Imma farm for lady death and try that one too

[narrow kraken]

The expertise is only for named and exotic backpack?

[vague idol]

expertise can be put on any weapon/gear

[narrow pelican]

The thing about the bullet king is that it's basically strictly inferior to the Steadyhanded GR9. It
*Takes up your exotic weapon, meaning no pocket BLB, Sweet Dreams, Scorpio
*Bad mods on the weapon mean your crit is low compared to other LMGs
*Horrible handling/accuracy

Steadyhanded GR9:

• is a basic weapon meaning it's easy to farm a god-rolled one to save resources
• has an amazing optional 8x scope that still gives crit chance, on top of standard CHC mods
• Steadyhanded talent means that once you get past 20 hits your weapon becomes a recoilless laser beam, allowing you to use the 8x scope effectively

The only requirement with the steadyhanded gr9 is that you hit at least 100 bullets every magazine, which for a 200-250 round magazine should be a perfectly reasonable benchmark.

[mellow trout]

Could I just stick steady handed on one I already own with recalibration

[narrow pelican]

Absolutely! Why wouldn't you? It's just a standard high-end GR9.

[mellow trout]

Aight bet I'll slap it on

[narrow kraken]

Why I can't upgrade my backpack expertise,

[plucky mesa]

not enough proficiency? @narrow kraken

[nimble spruce]

Can't upgrade an item until you've reached level 10 proficiency in that item type

[narrow kraken]

We can gain proficiency by donate resource right? There is no option for donate it

[nimble spruce]

Also by playing with the item equipped: save your resource donations for items you don't actually want to use

[narrow kraken]

How to reach it? And how I can know my level

[nimble spruce]

Proficiency level is shown in a little shield icon on the item itself

Maybe watch a video that explains expertise, it's a bit involved and counter intuitive to explain in text chat

[hasty hull]

So there are a few weapons in the rifle and marksman rifle category that have rates of fire that waaaay outpace their settle speed. Am I missing something? How do you make the best use of a gun that can't possibly fire accurately at its full ROF?

[plucky mesa]

use an M1A

[hasty hull]

Those are great, yeah. I use one of those a lot, and an Urban MDR. But some of these others with fast fire rates are cool- I just feel like I'm not...getting it. xD

I kinda remember that being the case even in Division 1.

The digital scope from Sharpshooter even LOOKS like it's meant to go on the M1A. xD

[nimble spruce]

There was no rifle class in div 1

[hasty hull]

I might be remembering early Division 2 then. I'm back after a couple years away, so it's all a blur.

[sudden nymph]

Out of curiosity, anyone has any idea what changes went into the live fix?

Trying to get more angles in case anyone saw any changes, more people here , hoping for better chances 🤣

[golden berry]

Did picaro holster got nerf? And it become secondary status?

[plucky mesa]

Nothing has been changed ... yet...

[mellow trout]

One of these dropped out of a lockbox is it any good

[inner tendon]

Keep a copy, it's good to have 1 of each Exotic in case.
All Exotics have a niche, whether that niche is worth running or not depends on you and what you're doing.

[golden berry]

Its great if u want to have overcharge for yourself

Such as turret build or status build

[mellow trout]

Ah

[golden berry]

Or do tank build for immune shield

[mellow trout]

How tf do y'all deal with hunters solo bruh I spawned one on normal and it took me 3 tries 💀

[golden berry]

On roam?

Or on countdown?

[cedar tide]

If you can CC chain a hunter, they shouldn't be too much

[golden berry]

Yup, pretty much dont be stupid to confront them in front

Only if u have scorpio then u can go for it

[mellow trout]

On free roam

They do so much damage

[golden berry]

Cc or turret build but most hunter got emp

[cedar tide]

Yeah, no, I wouldn't confront a hunter head on while solo. That's how you get smashed, unless you're very confident of your build

[golden berry]

Yeah no shit bro, they pretty much rogue agent spin off

[mellow trout]

I'll leave them for when I git gud

[golden berry]

Cem launcher or firestarter for hunter

Yeah great build equal easier game

[valid bronze]

Run technician class and they won't disrupt you

[nimble spruce]

Scorpio is how you do it in a dps way (or shield peeking)

[burnt pine]

Do Countdown hunters on challenging have same stats as open world hunters?

[bold fulcrum]

What is the best way to finish the Outcast Elites eliminated section from the league here? Cause I'm not sure if doing the missions will give me that many elites so

[cedar tide]

Outcast CPs on Heroic can have a lot of elites, iirc

[burnt pine]

Run a few CPs?

[plucky mesa]

Don't – just do speed runs then wait till next week for the reset

[bold fulcrum]

well i was wondering if maybe countdown will work too but due to the fact that whenever i try to join a group they kick me out already so

[burnt pine]

With Countdown, you don't know what faction you will get. May not be Outcasts, which will waste your time, so getting kicked out is moot.

[plucky mesa]

You're not running a skill build with turret and drone are you?

[bold fulcrum]

what? no

[burnt pine]

Run CD for targeted loot and points to buy exotic/named caches with. Don't do it for much else.

[plucky mesa]

What build are you bringing into CD then? Also what SHD level are you?

[burnt pine]

Maybe they're running Heroic CD and and encountering team leaders who are rather picky.

[bold fulcrum]

ok so my SHD level is 1341 and the build i was gonna run in there was a 4 piece hunter's furry along with memento back pack and the zero f's named chest piece and as for my weapons i was going with the scorpio and the dark winter's named smg too woth the gunner class on

[plucky mesa]

seems legit, not sure why you're getting kicked...

[bold fulcrum]

idk either cause i was just matchmaking and i get always kicked out

[valid bronze]

Weird

I use HF all the time in countdown

Except I use grupo/ceska

[bold fulcrum]

well my hunter's furry is a all red core with 3 are crit damage and 1 with crit chance

[burnt pine]

Anyway, back to the point, if you're looking to kill Outcast elites, CD is not the best way to do it.

[bold fulcrum]

yeah, and the outcast missions that i went too including the manning zoo and roosevelt island landed me at approximately 95 elites down

[plucky mesa]

Why kill them all?

[cedar tide]

If you're matchmaking for CD, sometimes, group leaders kick you out because they're "specific". Can't really do much about that, I'm afraid, but just keep matchmaking since there are lots looking for sessions on Xbox, from experience

[inner tendon]

General reminder: the "League" activities are counted over 2 weeks, and the points roll over. You need 60 in total.
So tl;dr, Get to rank 10 on 3 missions in the first week, then do it again and you'll unlock all rewards in the League.

We call this the "i have a job" method.

[bold fulcrum]

well i was going to speed run the league so i can get the back pack trophy faster

[inner tendon]

Hunters Fury and running Outcast stuff seems to do the trick so far.

[gritty bluff]

Alright so
Yesterday I did a IH Raid for more base materials to complete the last second Regulus Projects
But while doing so we killed a boss, I wanna know if that already looted boss will drop the Regulus component or not? Cuz it's a little tedious of they don't :I
I don't really wanna wait a whole 'nother week just to get it xD

[bold fulcrum]

well yeah but trying to do this on heroic will be more painfull but i will try and see if i can do iyt on the challenging difficulty

[snow crag]

grass touching tactics

[valid bronze]

You have to wait

[gritty bluff]

i hate this game

[gritty bluff]

Never heard of this before, so wait for someone who has, if it's common it shouldn't take too long :))

[frail horizon]

but im really angry bcs i try to farm something , but im still losing that

[gritty bluff]

How long do you guys think I'll have to wait to get The Virginian to appear in the DZ shop?

[heady stirrup]

Is Plauge of The Outcasts now considered a status effect? I was using the weapon and it was orange instead of red

[cedar tide]

That's Pestilence's talent, right? No, it's not a status effect like burn, bleed, and disoriented among others

[cedar yacht]

No

Its a debuff

[heady stirrup]

Huh, guess it’s just a glitch

[frail fog]

Is it normal that after entering the division 2 I lost all the clothes that were bought but I have them?

[valid bronze]

Did you turn on color blind mode?

[safe valley]

People are freaking out about the textile and credit prices straight up disappearing in our apparel inventory

[sly glade]

where my outfits ?

[twilit otter]

It's messed up on that screen but they still appear in apparel and the mod sections for gear

[oblique saffron]

How many people have this error? Everything that I bought and earned was reset to zero. Ubisoft what's up?

[oblique saffron]

I really hope that at least they will return the currency that I bought for money. Otherwise, I will no longer contact ubisoft and buy anything from them ever again.

[hallow raptor]

Have you checked your apparel inventory. You should still have the pieces

[hollow lily]

It looks like somebody drop table with data. It is global problem

[oblique saffron]

I'm more worried about the currency that I bought with my real money

[hallow raptor]

I see it referenced on other discords. It’s a known issue I believe. So a fix is surely on the way

[spark wedge]

am i the only one who doesnt get apparel cache keys on levelup??

[hollow lily]

@heavy pebble

Any info?

[carmine flicker]

Man really just pinged a person who works for ubi

[spark wedge]

tbf, premium credits are a big deal if you lose them

but id rather open a ticket

[hollow lily]

yes. It should be standard procedure to inform about problem . We can't do anything. Everyone have own opinion about Ubi but in this case this is Ubi problem and only Ubi can solve it,.

[safe valley]

I’m guessing it had something to do with the update prior to the chirpy event

[hollow lily]

somethink like before-party 😉
but today at 20:30 CET?

[rich wren]

Oh, wow, look what just fell out of a field proficiency cache...

[oblique saffron]

I have the same one))))

[gentle aurora]

woah I love assualt rifles I just got to lvl 40 today beat keener, whats that called?

the talent on it looks sick how long does it last?

[rich wren]

It's a Carbine 7, always comes with that talent, but the talent is subpar and should be replaced with something better, the gun however is one of the better ones, high firerate, stable and accurate

[valid bronze]

The reason it's a good find is because the gun is top 3 strongest but that talent isn't very good and it always comes on that gun, so you need to get one with dmg to targets out of cover already on it (best in slot for ARs) so that you can change the talent to whatever you like

[gentle aurora]

Thanks @valid bronze and @rich wren I appreciate the help Im pretty new I did the boost to 30 and then i just finsihed up the keener stuff in nyc

but i like to use assualt rifles as my main weapon

[valid bronze]

Look for a police m4/ famas or carbine 7 those are the best 3 ARs. You want one with dmg to targets out of cover as the third attribute and the talent is preference. Most people tend to use optimist, strained, fast hands or for the police m4 and carbine specifically flatline most players use a specific attachment to active flatline and it can't be used with the famas

[fallow inlet]

Hey Nug, MiloticN7,

[plucky mesa]

Hey Saph

[spark wedge]

is the p416 just not viable?

[queen sorrel]

imma be honest with ya, use whatever gun you want but it isnt best in slot

[hasty hull]

Okay so- if I've unlocked the Faye Lau legacy manhunt (having missed season 4), how do I actually do the manhunt? I've done the White Oaks mission (previously) and it doesn't seem to have a follow-up.

[nimble spruce]

go to the start of the mission, open the mission options and hold G for a second or two to 'toggle mission mode'

[hasty hull]

Weird- I figured it would be something like that, but didn't see it. Let me go back there and check again.

[nimble spruce]

the prompt is right at the bottom of the screen I think, it's not as obvious as the 'choose difficulty' and 'choose directives' options

[hasty hull]

ahaaaaaaaaa

Something else, while I'm here. I'm still missing a bunch of weapon attachments and have almost none of the high-end crafting materials for recalibration, etc. What's the best way to get those blueprints?

[nimble spruce]

note you can also use that feature to toggle the weekly invaded missions to non-invaded mode (eg to do the speedruns) and back again. Only the missions that are part of that week's invasion though

[nimble spruce]

they drop from level 3 or 4 control points, each time you'll get one you don't already have but it does take a while to collect all of them

[hasty hull]

And you jack up alert level at control points by doing the other roaming encounters in that district, right?

[nimble spruce]

yes or just increase the world difficulty to challenging to insta-set all CPs to level 3

[hasty hull]

Ohhhhh, I didn't know about that.

[rich wren]

some are also rewards for side missions, make sure you did all of those

[nimble spruce]

you can reset control points too, after you capture them, so if you want to do it the boring way you can farm the same one over and over again. World difficulty options are accessed from the main map.

[hasty hull]

Great info guys, thank you.

[valid bronze]

It's a good gun still it just isn't in the Meta anymore

[neon rain]

if i want to farm shotgun sidearm, i need to target pistol or shotgun?

[wraith flare]

shotgun

[neon rain]

ok thanks

[spark wedge]

how do i get steel fast?

do i just harass true sons?

[paper thorn]

level up then use your SHD watch

[spark wedge]

im not doing wony yet

[hardy lark]

my game keep crashing I uninstalled from epic games and re-install it from ubisoft and still crashing, anyone had similar case and solved it ?

[golden berry]

True son caches key

100 steel/ box

I'll say never use ur SHD point for things like electronics or the others, use it for shd calibration for optimizing gear

[wintry root]

So I noticed I could toss the firefly by just tapping the key bind and didn't need to hold it for targeting. By tossing it this way, will it still seek out the maximum targets possible?

[cedar yacht]

no also its inconsistent. Sometimes it will target or it will detonate midair.

[wintry root]

Is that for the firefly in general or just on tap without aim?

[neon rain]

on tap without aim. use quick tap when you need to do it fast like when the enemy is in front of you

[wintry root]

Noted, thanks.
On a separate note, iv played mostly with doing very little dz since in have no instrest in pvp. I do wanna go in though to get some of the named loot thats only dropped in dz. Any general tips or for the new environment or things I should be wary off? I imagine not everything that works as effectively in LZ does that same in DZ. I'm mostly solo and don't have NY dlc if thats a factor

[queen sorrel]

Your dz will be mostly empty then since everyone with the ny dlc can’t get into your dz

[hasty hull]

So I'm doing this Faye Lau mission and she is just absolutely brutal...also it doesn't seem like it will let me call for backup or invite anyone to group? Is this for real? xD

[narrow kraken]

Yes I play with that gear, but still can't

[plucky mesa]

What is your expertise lvl?

[narrow kraken]

3, it said in my backpack no upgrade available

[plucky mesa]

U can only upgrade to lvl 3

If that's your expertise level

[narrow kraken]

Omg I just realized that there are a tab for named or non named gear, why I don't see it. Ok I fix my problems

[novel bone]

I'm still a little confused on the way the chest works for DH -- can you only open it once a week or as many times as long as you get the key fragments for it?

• Does this mean someone can get EB as many times as they can open the chest, or is the Exotic locked per weekly reset?

[rain echo]

as long as you have fragments

still a 10% from chest

[golden berry]

U can open as many times as u want, as long as u got the keys.

Keys only could be achieved by weekly raid chest which give you 5 keys. And by bonking the last boss (only one key), so ur choice, either get the keys only from chest and wait till weekly reset or mad farm the raid over and over. U will always get 1 key per raid from last boss.

Like milotic says, 10% chance, so either get EB by urself or dropped by someone that got it.

[rain echo]

there is a 1% chance it will drop from bosses

ive never seen or heard it drop from a boss

im sure its happened but rare

[thin atlas]

how Skill eff. works at Empress set?

[queen sorrel]

My friend got eb from Lucy and buddy on his first raid so it def is possible

[queen sorrel]

Skill efficiency is skill dmg, skill health, skill healing, skill duration, status effect all bundled into one status effect

[rain zinc]

I never played raids? Any fun?

[rain echo]

yea they are id start out with Darkhours very easy to learn

[valid bronze]

It gives 10% to all skill bonus and 20% to skill haste

[rain zinc]

Seems so dead no matchmaking at all

[inner tendon]

The Raids can be a little confusing.
Basically, you are only able to matchmake with the "Discovery" version of a raid, in which you can't get the Raid-locked loot, has simpler mechanics, and easier enemies.

To LFG for the actual versions of Dark Hours and Iron Horse, hop on down to #lfg-raid-console, let them know you're new, and have a red DPS build ready. A basic understanding of the mechanics would be useful too.

[hallow raptor]

Matchmaking for raids is not worth it imo. Too many random builds / players to deal with. You could end up in a group of first timers who have no clue, making it not very much fun. Rivens is right, just let them know in #lfg-raid-console that your new to raids. There are lots of groups that will help. And be ready with that all red build. Good luck!

[modern sparrow]

Can i change the time?

[hallow raptor]

In game time? No

[rain echo]

Discovery dumbs down or remove mechanics

Plus you can't get thr raid exclusives in discovery mode

EB, ravenous and regulus

Eagle bearer comes from DH reg and rav both come from Iron horse

Rav is a 10% chance from chest 1% from bosses regulus requires doing a project to get it

[ebon breach]

is 55% CHC and 126% CHD good enough? I am using striker build

[tiny stump]

Yep

[ebon breach]

I think I capped my CHC with 55% but I can do it 60% by losing a bit of CHD should I do that one or should I stick with 55% and 126%?

I think my CHD is around 117%~~ with 60% CHC idk if that's a better one tho

[foggy needle]

its getting there, with proper build, Strikers can reach 57 chc 163 chd (with coyotes mid buff, using coyotes + ceska)

[rain zinc]

I am firsttimer 😂😭

[hallow raptor]

We all were at some point. If you get in a group that needs one, hit me up. I can lead as well if needed.

[fallow inlet]

Hey Azurmen32,

[narrow kraken]

Does incoming repair help my repair skill?

[cedar yacht]

Incoming repair only increases heals you receive

[narrow kraken]

Thx

[naive solstice]

hello there. healer builds still actual in div2? i loved reclaimer in div1 tho for group play. not solo

[ebon breach]

ceska on backpack?

[ebon breach]

i'll do this one I am currently hitting around 1mil crit with chameleon, for sure I'll hit harder with this one

basically umbra initiative is a run and gun build right?

[modest jungle]

Not how I would describe it. It's not very runny or gunny. Run and gun is hunters fury. Or even strikers and heartbreaker is more run and gun than umbra

With umbra it's in and out of cover style

[ebon breach]

60% CHC and 143.1% CHD with my umbra build and coyote mask all red cores, is this a good one?

[ebon breach]

oh okay, I thought it is a run and gun style, maybe that in and out cover play style is an interesting one to explore

[cedar yacht]

drop a chc

[modest jungle]

60 chc? If you're over capped on chc it's better to switch out one mod for chd.

Not weapon mod. But gear mod

[nimble spruce]

They're only really useful in legendaries and raids, heroic isn't really difficult enough to benefit much from a healer

[dim crag]

It is nice to have one tho

[ebon breach]

I'm currently running all CHD mods

this is my current build right now

[naive solstice]

i loved rec in pier and incursions, basically walking godmode in green area. yeah, i was aiming for those "hard team plays", but i though everyone going full dps on raids etc

[modest jungle]

Using 5 pieces of gear set is no good. Switch one piece for a HE piece

[dim crag]

How silly is Chatterbox with full rof?

[naive solstice]

why 5th piece?

[ebon breach]

what's rof sorry don't know what that is lol

[dim crag]

Rate of fite

*fire

Chatterbox buff plus Umbra plus on kill from Gunner

[modest jungle]

Looks fun but definitely not something I'll bring to heroic. Max challenging

[nimble spruce]

Iron horse benefits from a healer in certain sections, dark hours not so much

[ebon breach]

idk what HE to pair with it tho lol, can you guys suggest any?.. I am planning to pair it with picaro's

[dim crag]

Grupo, I guess

Or like, Foxes

[modest jungle]

I'll probably use a sokolov piece

Since umbra already gives so much chd

[naive solstice]

i see, i will gear it up anyway, even if its for fun, nostalgia is bad

[nimble spruce]

Grupo better than foxes in gear set build

[modest jungle]

Groupo probably has less return than weapon damage at this point

[nimble spruce]

Test it first, anyway

[naive solstice]

about coyote, whats good stats tho? i got mine, i'm not really sure how to "improve" except that low gearmod? also recalibration of exotic items, does it just "improve or decrease" stats or changes stats too?

https://prnt.sc/3XXk6JU3OtSh

[dim crag]

Then run 4p Future Initiative, BTSU Gloves, Alps backpack with Safeguard talent, all yellow, Techie Spec, Repair skills everywhere, Skill haste everywhere else is the build afaik

[ebon breach]

how bout this one? lol

[naive solstice]

woah, thanks, will take those notes and combine with my one on paper, thank you

[modest jungle]

Can't recalibrate exotics. You can reroll by crafting. Then optimise once u think your roll is high enough

[modest jungle]

Never understood the point of firm handshake gloves. Imo trash tier.

[naive solstice]

yeah, that, my bad, still fresh for thing in game, returned after years. so it reroll existing stats or can reroll stats itself?

[cedar yacht]

maxing cc

[modest jungle]

Exotics all have the same type of stats. You can reroll the % by recrafting them

[ebon breach]

this could be a good one now?.. I changed my knee pads to grupo

[cedar yacht]

too much crit

[plucky mesa]

better

[ebon breach]

I can't bring CHC down hahah, I tried but only the gun can make it lower

[plucky mesa]

there's no such thing

[ebon breach]

Is having too much crit is bad?

[naive solstice]

i see. thank you too Nycto. also, whats max chc?

[modest jungle]

60 is max chc

[cedar yacht]

you have coyotes yes?

[ebon breach]

there I have 170% CHD now, I think this could be the build? lol

[cedar yacht]

there is as too much chc 🙂

[modest jungle]

You probably have one chc roll on one of your umbra gear pieces?

[valid bronze]

Anyone know where to get 4 of hearts and 9 of hearts?

[ebon breach]

my coyote and the grupo, but even if I don't wear the grupo it still hit 60%chc

and my gun gives 21% chc

[modest jungle]

Why though. Smg should only give 31% chc iirc. With 2 gear rolls that's extra 12%

[ebon breach]

oh sorry also my shotty it gives 9.5% chc, my currently crit rn is 60% chc 170% chd

[modest jungle]

Your shotty doesn't count in this

This chc % only takes into account your active weapon. Which by default is your first weapon if u don't select the shotty

[ebon breach]

oh alright, idk why but all of my umbra got chd roll in them

[modest jungle]

Oh umbra gives another 15% chc iirc. Forgot abt that

[ebon breach]

is it okay to have 60chc and 170chd or bad?

[cedar yacht]

well if dont have a way to reduce the chc then its fine

[ebon breach]

I also get like 1% crit damage per stack of umbra, idk im bad at math loool

[modest jungle]

It's alright as u can't get it lower but it's just suboptimal

Which isn't necessarily bad if it fits your play

[ebon breach]

Obligatory: if you have the choice between CHD on guns or Gear, always pick Gear, since 12% vs 5%.
