Bounties. If you do a “normal” bounty with your global difficulty at heroic you’ll get 4. Actually any bounty on heroic global difficulty will reward 4. That is of course if you don’t have the blueprint and can’t craft them.

[unreal wagon]

All my content is played on "heroic" - but control points won't give any assessments, will they?

[unreal wagon]

Damn, really? 😮 i'll have that in mind!

[hallow raptor]

Sometimes I farm normal bounties (global difficulty on normal) from public executions and hostage rescues just for this purpose

[frail ether]

If you have blueprints you can craft it

[unreal wagon]

But if your global difficulty is set to normal, will you still net 4 when doing the bounty?

[unreal wagon]

I do, but by crafting, i'm in lack of materials xD it's an evil circle!

[hallow raptor]

No, it’s just for getting bounties stocked up

Then I do the actual bounty on heroic global difficulty

[weak phoenix]

Hi guys I just downloaded the game and currently having some massive audio issues on PS4
Is there a fix for that ?

[golden geode]

what sort of

[weak phoenix]

Sound is always lagging and sometimes completely missing

All dialogues is delayed by 30 seconds

[golden geode]

your console ui not laggy is it

[weak phoenix]

No it's not laggy

[supple swift]

im merely referrin o the cp not having named enemies

[grave stream]

whats this commodity and how do I get it

[hallow raptor]

True sons tactical assessments. Farm true sons bounties

[grave stream]

thanks

[molten beacon]

Countdown dlc exclusive?

[rain echo]

Yes iirc

[grave stream]

countdown DLC?

[rain echo]

Iirc to access CD you need to beat WONY

[molten beacon]

I can play if I hover over pentco on map and match make just completed run but I can’t host until level 40

Maybe it’s just bugged n letting me matchmake via map

[north jay]

expertise level cannot go down correct?

[valid bronze]

No it can't

[little shell]

oh yeah that reminds me i should do a little bit of expertise grinding, im stuck at Lv3 for like ... shiet, forever

vivian wasnt so bad javier is gonna be managable dragov is gonna be annoying so is theo

[cedar yacht]

Mans gonna die to the steam in javier

[rain echo]

wait i said last night i can use my normal loadout up to the rogues so

[little shell]

Steam deals direct HP damage, and unless you have HP stat in your gear, the HP doesn't change that much between builds

the main scaling of your HP comes from your watch

[valid bronze]

Shotgun is too strong

Go with smg

[rain echo]

well im gonna use regular build then swap to my grey at theo

i am not dealing with the judge with grey weapons i do not have the paitence

[valid bronze]

Anyone know when div 2 will go on sale for ps I'm trying to get a friend to pick it up

[grim jay]

Anyone know how to fix missing intel on all general Anderson manhunt targets?

[hallow raptor]

[valid bronze]

Style

[latent pollen]

how do i find the weekly legendary missions again

are they just the invaded black tusk missions

or just the strongholds?

[dim crag]

Strongholds

[latent pollen]

kthx

[latent pollen]

SHD points are capped at 50 per tree right? and we can't respec the points

[true siren]

no

200 per tree, you can max all the things out

[latent pollen]

ah great so it was just old info i guess

[true siren]

its never been like how you described, just bad info, not old

[hazy python]

does anyone know how i can get the bighorn exotic??

[brisk glade]

fastest, easiest way? Summit Floor 100 w/targeted loot on assault rifles

[true siren]

named legendary enemies is how you get it, wont drop anywhere else, and the TL doesnt matter either

[brisk glade]

just to calm myself down another night, this is STILL a thing for everyone right?

[hazy python]

do i have to do legendary summit?

[brisk glade]

AFAIK and someone mentioned it, you will first need to get it to drop from a Named legendary enemy, after that it will pop as a drop from your targeted loot pool

[latent pollen]

is it faster to grind targeted loot or farm control points to get the blueprint to craft that piece of armor you want

[tulip fiber]

It won’t drop from targeted loot. Bighorn is locked to legendary only. So legendary strongholds or legendary Summit. The bosses are the ones who can drop it though, again only legendary.

[tulip fiber]

Depends on the blueprint. Some are locked to previous seasonal rewards. Majority of crafting blueprints come from lvl 3-4 CPs

[hazy python]

will it be added to general loot after i get it?

or is it strictly legendary only

[tulip fiber]

Again, legendary modes only

Not general loot or exotic caches

[latent pollen]

just trying to get regular brand pieces

targeted mission gives me all the other pieces except the one part i want

[valid comet]

Good morning, y'all. What are some milestones you would recommend before attempting a raid?

[hazy python]

I dont think there is any milestones tbh

just have a decent build and if your looking to run

@quick orchid and his friends are willing to teach newcomers

[valid comet]

My buddy has been playing for a while and I am new. Neither of us have done a raid. And, I do not have a build hashed out, yet. Really enjoying the play style. I'm a big Destiny 2 player. ( I don't know what this reads so choppy.)

[hazy python]

tbh theres nothing much to the builds

there's skill dps, weapon dps, support, and then tank

[valid comet]

He's the tank. I'm stuck in a weird limbo of liking Snipers and SMGs.

[verbal topaz]

interesting

[verbal topaz]

DPS build in pinned spreadsheet

[tulip fiber]

Countdown or even Summit in a group can yield better loot drops than those in a mission.

If it’s a particular brand piece farm the brand. If you’re looking for an exotic, farm the type.

[latent pollen]

(yeah i'm looking for ceska holster and the mission gives me everything but holsters)

[golden geode]

I even run striker minus the scope

as i dont like scopes

[hallow raptor]

So you give up a brand bonus for appearance? lmao!!!!

[golden geode]

any one eles run a striker build minus the scope

[cedar tide]

Me. I can't use any scope higher than 4x mag. Loss of spatial awareness scares me

But in hindsight, I have used a proper Focus build before and it ain't bad at all. It just takes time to get used to it.

[golden geode]

thats what mine is but i just removed the scope

[dim crag]

Then your Focus talent is useless tho?

[golden geode]

How is it

Is that classed as tweaking a build to how i like to use them

[true siren]

i think whats happening is random thinks you are using Focus but not using a high zoom scope

which renders focus useless

[golden geode]

Oh so its the same as not having it there at all

[dim crag]

That is true, I haven't read the whole convo so I dunno if there's context to it haha

Oh sorry ping

[true siren]

no worries ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[tepid sierra]

American History Museum there is a room in the "interrogation" cells that can open, (after the Basement Key door) I seen this door open in a NON-invaded mission.

https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/comments/bs1zjd/another_secret_room_in_american_history_museum/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 this was the picture I found regarding the door in question

So how does it open is the question, I cant find the answer, and Reddit posts are 4 years old. Any one know?

[north jay]

best way to get perfect unbreakable piece for ridgeways?

I know it's the zero fs one

[wispy merlin]

just farm badger targeted

[north jay]

I'm just gonna reset control points in the ny target loot area

[dim crag]

Play Countdown

You can target Badger while getting a bunch of Named items from the Hunters

[hallow raptor]

This. And buy named item caches with countdown currency

[north jay]

fair enough, then I just need to do some bounties and I finish ridgeways

I've heard that countdown is easy to find games for, but I only have seen 3 people in a group, is that because I'm playing on normal?

[hallow raptor]

Yes. You should always play countdown on challenging or heroic

[north jay]

I have a mediocre build right now, so I'll try my best

[hallow raptor]

You’ll get lots of good gear there to help with that then

[north jay]

Got it

I got two of them in the first countdown match

*3 lol

[north jay]

When I used to play CD on PS4 Id just do it on hard

[hallow raptor]

Lots of useless purple gear down there

[north jay]

Yeah exactly

I got a bunch of max rolls for the recall in just one run of CD

Now I just gotta do some bounties for outcasts, rikers, cleaners

Then rogue agents then hunters

[valid bronze]

How do you get this

[rain echo]

Previous season reward maybe ?

[peak ember]

So I've been farming Dark Winter from Countdown for a while now without any sightings of it so I'mnwondering, do I need to have obtained it before in the past first?

[north jay]

whats the best way to find rogue agents? I found 2 in ny but I died before I could kill both

[hallow raptor]

DC hunters are easier imo. Otherwise floor 100 summit. Oops rogue agents at summit. Open elevator door if you hear rogue agents detected your good. Otherwise go back to lobby rinse and repeat

[north jay]

Im gonna do the weirdo/drama for hunters, but im not sure about rogue agents

[cedar tide]

It was a Twitch reward at one point, probably one of them giveaways and things like that. I missed it and now I cry.

[hallow raptor]

See edit

[north jay]

it should work at floor one right

[hallow raptor]

I’m not a twitch guy, so I think it a season thing or an apparel event since I have it

[hallow raptor]

Better chance higher up. Just matchmake till you get above 50 or so, and I’d avoid boss floors

[hallow raptor]

Did you check to see if you could buy it?

[foggy needle]

Dark winter is a DZ exclusive drop. can get it from named caches and pvp caches too though

[peak ember]

Oh that is going to be...painful

[twilit harness]

That's a bummer

[valid bronze]

I didn't see it, I'll check it again

[north jay]

Dark winter is the named vector correct?

[valid bronze]

It's not in the store at all

[foggy needle]

yes

[peak ember]

Yeah

[north jay]

I believe I have picked it up randomly before, but idk if thats true or helps anything

[foggy needle]

It can drop from the manhunt main targets (as they count as dz targets) but that’s not farmable tbh. So maybe from them. HIGHLY rng though

[peak ember]

Odd design choice, them being counted as dz targets

[north jay]

How often do bounties refresh

[foggy needle]

i want to say same time as daily reset. but not 100% sure.

[north jay]

I just ask because Im having troubles getting enough outcast, cleaner, and riker bounties for the ridgeways project

[foggy needle]

cleaner, and riker in NYC and outcast in DC

[north jay]

there were only 2 bounties in nyc for me unfortunately

[strong star]

if you need named enemies just go for CPs

[hallow raptor]

Highlight public executions to see what faction they are. Rikers drop riker bounties, cleaners drop cleaner bounties, outcasts drop outcast bounties, and so it goes….

[north jay]

I also need keys, I suppose I could become a sewer rat if needed

[foggy needle]

also i dont remember ridgeway quest requiring bountys but its been awhile.

[strong star]

Ridgeway requires keys and kills iirc

[north jay]

well you need to donate keys and kill named enemies so I decided to kill 2 birds with one stone

[foggy needle]

ah

[strong star]

so basically yea, for named enemies - go for CPs, 2 enemies per 1 CP

[foggy needle]

for keys can do sewer runs

[strong star]

and for keys - become ninja turtle and prey to rngesus

[north jay]

Is this specifically tier 4 cps?

[strong star]

uuuuhm, idk, im always doing tier 4

[north jay]

I see I have some grinding to do yet

This is why I have a to do list lol

[strong star]

this is the way!

[north jay]

I mean besides raids ridgeways is one of the most time consuming pieces to get, the rest of my build should be straightforward

[rain echo]

Watch out for dem cleaners in the NY sewers

[hallow raptor]

Just killed 2 chainsaw guys in the same sewer?…

[north jay]

Reminds me of how I got 2 loot goblins in one floor of the summit lol

[rain echo]

I see your killing my students I taught those loot goblins all there is to know

[north jay]

Teach them not to run into my bullets next time

[rain echo]

They can't help it

[tulip fiber]

Yes

[strong star]

man i was sleeping on heartbreaker for so long....

[gritty pollen]

Is Heartbreaker still a thing?

[cedar tide]

Still is. I see them everywhere on random matchmaking

[gritty pollen]

I still dont know what kind of build i should use as a newbie with shd 125 xD

Most builds which i saw on youtube or wherever are mostly for ppl who are at least 1000 for passive skills

[cedar tide]

Honestly, builds on YouTube are hits or misses. But there's a Google spreadsheet on many meta builds in #td2-build-advice. Check the pins when you can

If I can be honest, the YT builds just don't work for me

[delicate cliff]

Funny thing is, most of them don't work for the YTers either, they just make it look like they do

[peak ember]

So this is gonna be a stupid question but I have a very good reason for asking, where is the final manhunt this season exactly? Can someone DM me it

[north jay]

I am so horrible at this game please help

I play on hard and I die every single event

I have some bad gear but like how do I stop sucking

[vague idol]

farm for better gear/look at the spreadsheet that's pinned in #td2-build-advice for builds, there are some good ones

[north jay]

maybe using 2 level 34 pieces doesnt help lol

[vague idol]

what level are you?

[north jay]

40

[vague idol]

right, if you finished warlords then you can do countdown to get better gear

[narrow kraken]

anyone know how to get the last 50% for manhunt

finished all the bounties and stuff but locked at 50%

[north jay]

im trying to unlock ridgeways currently, but the hunters and rogue agents are too powerful for me, would the kills count if a party member killed them?

[vague idol]

i'd say get a proper build together and then try doing the project, i cant remember the project so i cant say for certain.. but dont see why it wouldnt count

[delicate cliff]

Gotta do the takeover bounties for each of the lieutenants to actually kill them

[serene shuttle]

is waveform a random exo drop ?

[foggy needle]

yes just like 95% of exos

[waxen cobalt]

Guys I can't seem to get any hunters in open world do I have to do something more?

i already did the mission which introduces them

[fallow inlet]

Hey Zephyr, Fearlxss Azurmen32

[waxen cobalt]

I know about the puzzles even after doing them I can't seem to get them to spawn

[versed pumice]

@fallow inlet u forgot me

😒

[valid bronze]

Is there a good way to farm stars for Hollywood? Or should I just wait for golden bullet

[hallow raptor]

There’s always resource convoys, just a bit slower than normal

Hey RIRI

[ivory sundial]

Jeesh

[fallow inlet]

Hey Rakey

And Buddha

[north jay]

bros dont you love reseting missions for an hour to find a rogue agent, then dying

That happened 3 times today

Do rogue agents spawn on floor one?

[cedar yacht]

no

[north jay]

When do they start spawning?

[cedar yacht]

not sure

[hallow raptor]

Matchmake to get around 50, but avoid boss floors

[narrow kraken]

wanted to know if i did general Anderson and all 4 people get a exotic can we drop it to each other?

[north jay]

I need to do 3 floors with the person I matchmake with to stay on that floor correct

also, do I select "answer the call" or "summit" in the matchmaking computer

[hallow raptor]

Just one floor, summit

wtf is going on

game isnt down right because im seeing quite a few people ingame but isnt letting me login

[twilit harness]

So... how do I upgrade this? it's level 1

[hallow raptor]

You can’t, can’t even deconstruct

[twilit harness]

Well that sucks, I can't recall how I got it

[delicate cliff]

Go to the crafting bench, should be able to convert it to a level 40 there

[hallow raptor]

Nope, it was a perk for gold or platinum purchase

Kinda stupid really

[tiny stump]

looks like you're gettin some mikes. i just shut down the game and try again or restart my pc

[valid bronze]

Put it on a new character and delete the character

[twilit harness]

Just spent 20 hours to level up a new character to 30, yeah not doing that again lol

God, another shotgun

[cedar tide]

It would be nice if it were a shotgun, yeah

[twilit harness]

Oh right, it's not lol

yeah, semi, not my style actually

Wanted the Chameleon

I mostly main AR and Sub

[cedar tide]

There was a time when that rifle was meta since its one-shot potential was nasty

[twilit harness]

Yeah I remember that

[cedar tide]

For the record, I still use the Diamondback once in a while for the shenanigans. Popshots and crit damage all the way

[valid bronze]

You don't have to level it up, just get it through the intro and go to stash grab it and delete character

[hallow raptor]

I think that just puts it back in grants in the mailbox. I’ll try on my next run of a new character

[valid bronze]

I haven't tried it, someone else suggested it to me, I just keep it on my character with all the skill builds I never use

[hallow raptor]

Deleted them with new character, logged in with main…. That shits like herpes, forever! 😂

[clear mountain]

Alright so I just did 3 main story missions with a friend who is a recruit and I am a veteran for but does anyone know how long it takes for the game to update and give the reward?

And give a refund for the store brought stinger outfit

[dawn steeple]

Anyone know how many total hunter masks there are?? I've Got the 12 year 1 hunters and 13 year 2 hunters but not sure on the others...

[valid bronze]

There's the yellow one, and an all black one in the store

[rain echo]

And the jul mask or whatever it's called

The Santa mask

Iirc 24 open world 2 locked behind summit and bardons manhunt respectively 1 you got from a previous season and 2 from thr store so 28 total

And the Jul mask so 29

Correct me if my numbers are off

[dawn steeple]

12 year 1 + 13 year 2 + 2 Summit (1 being Santa mask and not always available) + 1 for Bardons Manhunt + 2 store exclusives (1 available via textiles) + 1 now unobtainable Seasonal Exclusive??

so 31?? I've not heard about the Jul??

Think you miss counted, You had 30 and missed 1 for the year 2 hunters.

Cant find the Jul mask online

@rain echo

[rain echo]

The Jul is the Santa 1 iirc

Aa the Santa mask is called the julmust

[valid bronze]

What other hunter mask is in the summit?

And what does that and bardons manhunt one look like

[rain echo]

1 aec I got you

[valid bronze]

Thx

[rain echo]

the 1 beside the first 1

beside the mongoose mask

[valid bronze]

That's a hunter mask??

[rain echo]

yea the 1 that looks like a skull with the beanie yea you get it from bardons manhunt mission

[valid bronze]

I have the store ones, and all the hunter mask from DC and warlords

No Santa or bardons, I'll have to go unlock bardons tonight

[rain echo]

this is the 1 you get from the bardon manhunt mission im too lazy to log in

and heres the santa 1

julmust is floor 100 summit but not guaranteed every time

best bet is to get 4 people together so 5 hunters spawn improving your chances

[cedar tide]

All 4 people running drones and turrets against the hunters

[rain echo]

i use the shocktrap strat

let the hunters come to us get shocked and unload on em

[rain echo]

imagine

[valid bronze]

I heard julmust isn't in this year

What other ones is there?

[rain echo]

this 1 you get from floor 100 summit

[dawn steeple]

12 year 1 + 13 year 2 + 2 Summit (1 being julmust) + 1 for Bardons Manhunt + 2 store exclusives (1 available via textiles) + 1 now unobtainable Seasonal Exclusive so 31

[hallow raptor]

Has been confirmed by devs, Xmas hunter mask not available this year

[rain echo]

i own 29 of the 31 masks

[valid bronze]

I have that one

[rain echo]

1s im missing is the season reward that is no longer aviable and julmust

[valid bronze]

What season was it from?

Had to be 3 or 4

[rain echo]

i think 3

wasnt 4

its ether 2 or 3

[valid bronze]

It wasn't 2 I played that season

[rain echo]

its 3 then

[valid bronze]

That's when HF came out

Season 3 tier 100

I'm missing that one, santa and bardons which I can still get

[rain echo]

yea bardons is easy just do his mission then before you face him you will have to face the hunter

the hunter has 4 armor kits iirc

[cedar tide]

Holy heck, that mask looks dope. Of course I missed it too

[valid bronze]

Honestly top 3 hunter masks for me

Number 1 has got to be the all black one, then either the scratch up one or the one with the face carved into it

[rain echo]

here are my 3 fav

[valid bronze]

Not a fan of any of those lol

I like the one above drama

[rain echo]

drama was a pain to get

[valid bronze]

It wasn't bad for me

The NY one where there's 4 was a pain, took me like 3 irl hours

[rain echo]

oh and this mask just cause it reminds of vigil from siege

[valid bronze]

That's one of the 4 combo hunters

I think

[rain echo]

i own every hunter mask besides the julmust and the s3 1 the new york 1s were a pain not the hunters but the steps to spawn them

espically the shoot half of the targets at night and the other half in the day

[cedar tide]

I think it was the Angel mask where you had to get the 5 lion eyes things from fridges and plant them into statues and rearrange them, blah blah.

Nah mate, too much

[valid bronze]

That's what I was talking about

[cedar tide]

Worst part is you'd have to do it all again if you died from the encounter

[valid bronze]

That one I did first try

Tech class with zero Fs and a revive hive with foam, on HF build

That's what I ran for all hunters

[burnt knoll]

Umbra mask and the glasses from the new purplyish set is my fav combo

I still can't dig masks for some reason, it feels off

[north jay]

I got the camo mask, whats another easy one? I just need to kill one hunter

[rain echo]

The 1 mask

It's in thr spot where you first encounter the hunters in main campaign shoot 5 targets and the hunter will spawn

Can be done in daytime or night

[north jay]

I dont remember where that is

[hallow raptor]

Probably be easier to search YouTube

[north jay]

is it called "the 1 mask" or was that just them referencing it

[hallow raptor]

Just search D2 DC daytime hunter masks

There are 2

[rain echo]

I'm tired brain is only functioning at 5% thinking capacity 😂

No

Gimme a minute

when the apparel event ends?

[solid badge]

anyone know where striker's gear is allocated today? i cant find it on my map (checked NY as well, not there)

[delicate cliff]

Not ingame rn so can't help with that, but just something to keep in mind... there will be days where certain gear or weapons aren't TL anywhere because there's more gear and weapon types than there is activities on the map to put them on. On days like those, you'd have to run Summit or Countdown with whatever TL you set it to if you want that stuff today.

Afaik not

You can do it the other way around

[carmine flicker]

Heard you can do it at 30. Not 40 though

Don’t know how to do it or if it’s even true but that’s what I heard

[hallow raptor]

No but if you boost a new character to 30 and buy the shared blueprints you can reconfigure a level 40 to level 30. I’ve done it with multiple exotics. Just has to have a reconfigure blueprint. Sadly busy little bee does not have a reconfiguration blueprint…

How do you get the rogue outfit

[hallow raptor]

Not sure which one that is tbh. I seen hunter outfits, but nothing is listed as “rogue”…

[strong star]

from what i've found you need to get lvl 60 in conflict for outfit and lvl 100 for bp trophy

[valid bronze]

I think I'm close to 100

Hopefully

[nimble spruce]

That's a known (fairly new) bug, I suspect related to the bug where completing the Pentagon Breach side mission doesn't unlock the Pentagon main mission. No workaround that I know of yet, but is likely on the devs radar to fix.

[latent pollen]

i could've sworn that recalibrations on armor used to be that you could only reroll red sub stats with another red stat right?

either way i've been throwing out pieces with a good core stat roll but the wrong color of sub stats and i'm incredibly miffed

[hallow raptor]

That was old recalibration

[latent pollen]

good so i didn't remember incorrectly, just came back about after around 2.5 years of not playing

[hallow raptor]

You can also now use any gear mod you want in any gear mod slot.

[latent pollen]

yes i was able to notice that much sooner

[rain echo]

prob should put strained on it right

over smg

[hallow raptor]

I’d farm a better one personally

[valid bronze]

Keep sledgehammer reroll the weapon dmg

Then eventually throw the whole thing away

[rain echo]

I found a better 1 by random

[narrow kraken]

So i tried to beat the angle hunter when he spawned i instantly died why did this happen?

[rain echo]

What difficulty

[hallow raptor]

Because they are tough. Did you use a skill build?

[rain echo]

Best bet is to do em on normal and use a dps build foam them then unload on em

[narrow kraken]

I forgor to mention

[hallow raptor]

This

[narrow kraken]

I was doing it on normal and i just reached lvl 30

[rain echo]

That's why probably

[hallow raptor]

Still doable

[rain echo]

But harder

[narrow kraken]

My weapon dmg is 15k

[rain echo]

It's doable yes but alot more difficult

[hallow raptor]

What build?

[narrow kraken]

Stamina i think

[hallow raptor]

Post pic

[hallow raptor]

This ain’t D1

[narrow kraken]

Idk what it called it makes your health very good

[rain echo]

A tank build ?

[narrow kraken]

Yes

[hallow raptor]

Needs to be all red, no blue or yellow

[narrow kraken]

Ohhhh ok

[rain echo]

All red with foam hunters are hard even on normal your want all the dps you can get

[narrow kraken]

Ok ok

Btw what is the two best weapons i can get in the game without dark zone and new york

[rain echo]

Iirc hunters are on a time limit and will Despawn and your have to do tje puzzles all over again

[narrow kraken]

Ik that

[rain echo]

Isn't Scorpio a base game nit dlc

[narrow kraken]

No no i don't want exotic weapons either

[foggy needle]

Scorpio is DLC

[hallow raptor]

Are you on world tier 5? Or just reached level 30?

[narrow kraken]

Idk it seems confusing but i am on invasion mode and i am on tier V wich is 5 and idk if it a world tier or only the invasion mode tier

[narrow kraken]

World tier 5 i guess

[hallow raptor]

You need to complete all the invaded missions and strongholds (red hexagons) last is tidal basin, to reach world tier 5. Best gear and weapons are on world tier 5.

[narrow kraken]

About pestelince
If we kill 3 mark enemies does the effect of thick become 3?

[foggy needle]

When you kill a target with pest marks, the marks that were on said target random jump to another target, with the same remaining time

[narrow kraken]

So that means the effect can double but just for 1 target? Example: I hit 2 targets, the first target get 400k effect, the other get 200k effect talent, if those 2 Targets die, 400k and 200k will transfer to one of other enemies, right?

[rotund sonnet]

It cannot

Max stacks cannot be exceeded

[deep kestrel]

Guys where can I farm SHD levels with a quick method ?

[plucky mesa]

Yes, as long as there's room for that many stacks on one target

[latent pollen]

If I’m looking for named gear would it be best to go after the brand or the equipment slot?

[true siren]

brand

[latent pollen]

Kthx

[cloud owl]

okay guys hello,
ive been playing this game for few months and i have few questions in order to understand the game a little bit better
the thing is im kinda tired of not getting good items and it just takes too long,
my general question is, are all those ppl who has good items, necessarily spent real money and bought thing in the game, or they just played the gmae?

[vague idol]

buying things with money doesn't give you better gear/weapons the game is all about RNG

[hallow raptor]

Can’t buy gear, only apparel/ cosmetics. ALL have to farm for gear and the materials to recalibrate or optimize said gear. The higher the difficulty, the better the gear

[carmine flicker]

You can’t spend money to get gear, only cosmetics, the dlc, and a few missions. Of course three specializations can be unlocked with money, but those can be unlocked without money easily

[cedar yacht]

Also, having a meta build helps farm for other builds easier.

[cloud owl]

thanks guys

i really appreciate your help

[cloud owl]

ill try this

[hallow raptor]

See pinned spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice

[carmine flicker]

You can look in the spreadsheet linked in the pins in #td2-build-advice for some builds

[mellow trout]

I love this mission

The broken elevator really adds a level of realism I don't see anywhere else in the game

[latent pollen]

if i'm looking for the memento should i go into the summit, do the targeted loot for backpacks, or do a legendary stronghold

[mellow trout]

Just go countdown and do targeted or sum

Got mine from an exotic cache

[latent pollen]

haven't tried countdown yet, did all my weekly exotic caches

[mellow trout]

You get a ton of targeted loot in countdown

At least on challenging the rolls are good too

[latent pollen]

is there specific mechanics or just kill stuff

[peak ember]

There's a few mechanics but it's explained largely

[mellow trout]

Nah it's just shooting stuff till it dies or gets destroyed

And watch for hunters

[peak ember]

Yeah no, this is important especially during extraction

[mellow trout]

They throw like 8 of them at you in a full group or something

They're a great source of loot but very very dangerous

[peak ember]

Yeah

[narrow kraken]

Sup yall
I tried TD2 a year back and didnt like it very much although ive tried it again and ive been enjoying it more
But i need some tips on how to gain levels fast, im level 21 and its been pretty annoying to level up so slowly

[mellow trout]

You got Keeners watch?

[narrow kraken]

Nope, dont know what that is

[mellow trout]

If you haven't completed the story then just do that it's pretty quick

Then if you have the expansion play through that too

After that I think farming convoys with directives is supposed to be pretty fast

[narrow kraken]

Well ive noticed after like every 3-4 story missions im severely underleveled

Like 3-4 levels underleveled

[mellow trout]

Try running some side quests

Especially the shd ones

[narrow kraken]

I saw someone say i shouldnt run those until im level 25 or 30 because they scale with your level

[mellow trout]

If you're under levelled there ain't much you can do early game

[hallow raptor]

Level 21 is fine for side missions

[narrow kraken]

Ive just been doing a lot of projects

Its been fine so far but it gets repetitive

[mellow trout]

Just breeze through the side quests

Some are pretty cool

Short and sweet

[narrow kraken]

Alright i got like 3 settlements worth of side quests💀

[mellow trout]

Excellent 💀

[peak ember]

They also unlock attachments sometimes that will make your life easier

[mellow trout]

That too

Until you can run challenging control points that's the only real way to get attachments

[narrow kraken]

You can run control points on higher difficulties?

[hallow raptor]

You mean blueprints, most (not all) weapon attachments come from side missions

[mellow trout]

Ah yeah

[hallow raptor]

Not yet, you need to reach world tiers

Past level 30

[narrow kraken]

Whats world tiers💀 i feel like a noob

Ah okay thank you

[mellow trout]

Basically

After you reach level 30 a new faction appears and you run remixed versions of some main missions and the strongholds

[narrow kraken]

Oh those level 25+ locations?

[mellow trout]

Yeah

[narrow kraken]

Alright thank you for explaining

I only got back into the game because a buddy told me they had a resident evil cosmetic event tbh💀

[mellow trout]

Once you re run all the invaded ( remixed ) versions, you run a new stronghold

After that you're world tier 5

[mellow trout]

That was agessss ago

[narrow kraken]

And what do tiers do?

[mellow trout]

Better loot and tougher enemies

[narrow kraken]

Yeah like last year but i didnt hear about it until last week

[mellow trout]

Do you own the expansion?

[narrow kraken]

No but im planning on getting it after the main story

[mellow trout]

Ah cool

After you get to world tier 5 you can go to New York and level up to level 40

After that the real grind starts 💀

[narrow kraken]

Damn😭

I know im gonna sound stupid but whats the deal with dark zones?

They dont seem that interesting

[latent pollen]

welp got hard carried at countdown and i got an exotic backpack

except it's my third go bag

[true siren]

the dark zones are pvevp areas that you can go into that have enemy AI and sometimes enemy, sometimes neutral players. Everything you get there is "contaminated", meaning you have to extract it by helicopter- and that helicopter lets everyone there know you are extracting.

[narrow kraken]

I assume the gear is way better though?

[mellow trout]

Not really as far as I know

There's some exclusive named stuff but I think you can get them from caches

A gear set too

Don't worry too much about gear until you hit level 40

[narrow kraken]

Yeah i figured

Can you still get the RPD uniform from the resident evil event? You got it from logging in back then

[true siren]

Nope. Some stuff is exclusive, but most of it is just bog standard.

[true siren]

Fairly certain you cant, you might be able to buy it with premium credits however.

[narrow kraken]

I know you can buy everything else but i havent checked that specific outfit

I got the jacket leon wears in the 4th game for some premium credits i got for hitting level 15 lol

[mellow trout]

I think you can buy it with premium credits

[narrow kraken]

I'll just check when i get on later tbf

Snipers seem really underpowered though

[mellow trout]

Umbrella corp or sum

[narrow kraken]

No thats the hunk outfit haha

The outfit im talking about is the blue police uniform

[mellow trout]

Nah later on in the game you can get headhunter builds that do like 45 million headshot damage

[mellow trout]

Ohhhh

[narrow kraken]

I dont need more than 13k headshots rn😭

Why would you need 45m

[mellow trout]

Enemies get really tough

[narrow kraken]

Dang i hate when bad people gain over 100x hp

Happens all the time

[hallow raptor]

Hit 250mil to take out razorbacks weak points in one shot

[narrow kraken]

What are razorbacks

[mellow trout]

There's a raid called dark hours

[hallow raptor]

Last boss in 8 man raid

[mellow trout]

Final boss is a vehicle which swarms you with drones and missiles

[narrow kraken]

All the people im fighting are either junkies with bats, trash knight looking dudes, normal people or bombers

[mellow trout]

Yeah no later on you fight rogue agents and private military

[narrow kraken]

That sounds sick

Ive been waiting for some type of mission to kill a rogue agent

[mellow trout]

You're gonna love the expansion

[narrow kraken]

The rogue system for dark zones seems so useless

[mellow trout]

Not even just the expansion

Seasonal manhunts too

Technically that's the expansion but that's post new york

[hallow raptor]

At the lower levels it’s kinda dead. Different story at level 40

[narrow kraken]

What does going rogue even do?

[true siren]

Lets you kill other players to steal their loot.

[latent pollen]

as long as i have the token i can buy multiple exotic caches from the countdown requisition right? it's not 1 per week

[peak ember]

Yeah

[mellow trout]

You can get one every like 2 runs

From the amount of tokens

[latent pollen]

yep, hoping to get carried for another un

[mellow trout]

Try to get the gist and work out a decent build

[latent pollen]

already have a pestilence dps build but i can't burst as hard as the others obviously

[peak ember]

Trying to get a decent AR... i like kingbreaker but it's not one I'm a huge fan of

[mellow trout]

I'm not very good so I literally just run about with a shield and restorer hive

[true siren]

theres quite a few good ars, m4s are good, Carbine 7s are good, famas is good

[narrow kraken]

Ive been using the honey badger a lot everytime i found one

[true siren]

Also decent, but lacks a mod slot

[peak ember]

I'm hoping for carbine or at least mk16

Is g36 enhanced good or am I better off with something else?

[true siren]

its decent, all the ARs are decent enough, some just are better

[peak ember]

Think I got lucky

Which is why I'm asking lol

...I hate my window o.e

[hallow raptor]

Just FYI

[mild oriole]

may I know where does the Control Point Heroic with 4 directives stands on?

[hallow raptor]

I didn’t make the sheet, got it from another discord. But it’s less than other options.

[narrow kraken]

Resource convoys are that good for xp?

Goddamn i might start actually doing them then

[hallow raptor]

Yes

[hallow raptor]

Once you know the spawn points they take 30 to 90 seconds each

[narrow kraken]

I havent done a single one💀

[hallow raptor]

My best was 18 levels in one hour

[narrow kraken]

Like from level 1 to level 18?

[hallow raptor]

Like from shd level 10,000 to shd level 10,018… lol

[narrow kraken]

I dont know if that makes it easier or harder to level💀

Like surely the convoys scale with your level right

[true siren]

they scale... to level 40.

[hallow raptor]

Leveling is the same at shd 1 as it is at shd 10k

[narrow kraken]

Oh..💀

[true siren]

Thats it. Stuff doesnt get exponentially harder at 10k, same difficulty = same everything else if you are shd level 1 to shd level 10000000

[hallow raptor]

Yes, sheet is for level 40 numbers

[narrow kraken]

I mean surely the sheet doesnt change very much for lower levels

[hallow raptor]

Current level?

[narrow kraken]

21

I just got back into the game yesterday

[hallow raptor]

Without dlc?

[true siren]

i mean if you arent 40 you shouldnt really do them, just run through the missions you get and the side missions eventually

[narrow kraken]

Yessir

[hallow raptor]

Then the numbers will be much lower, but you still get about double what it shows you upon completion

[narrow kraken]

I mean like i know the xp scales but i doubt it really changes how good stuff is compared to other stuff

[hallow raptor]

But yeah, completing side and main missions is best at your level

[narrow kraken]

Yeah

[hallow raptor]

If you see one, do it

[narrow kraken]

Its just annoying to be underleveled in main missions and i thought i should save side missions for lvl 25+

So i have 3 settlements worth of side missions 💀

[hallow raptor]

Said before, your fine at level 21 for side missions

[true siren]

each side mission gives like, 1/3 of your xp from completion rewards alone- you'll get to 30 with those missions

[narrow kraken]

I'll probably have some spare too by the time i get to level 30💀

Like ive only done side missions if they forced me to do them for shd tech crates

[hallow raptor]

Do them, stop waiting

[narrow kraken]

Yessir

I once had a pair of level 13 gloves and didnt get a better pair until level 17 and that gave me like 500 armor (1200 to 1700)

[hallow raptor]

You get weapon attachment blueprints to help with damage

Better gear at higher levels

[narrow kraken]

Ive usually just put max accuracy attachments for my guns

[true siren]

Later down the line you'll want crit chance on your attachments, but thats a story for when you get to 30- so stop waiting and get on it, agent

[hallow raptor]

^

[narrow kraken]

Im spending christmas eve with family so im not playing rn but later i will

And finally do all the side quests

[deep kestrel]

Guys where can I level up my SHD level fast?

[hallow raptor]

Challenging or heroic resource convoys with as many directives as you can handle

[haughty hamlet]

If you have all world directives active, a single convoy on challenging will grant a full shd level and a convoy should be doable in like a minute

[hallow raptor]

Appx 540k xp, a level is 700k
And 30 seconds is doable

[haughty hamlet]

yeah most of a level mb

[hallow raptor]

See xp sheet above bro

[tribal hemlock]

So I'm cleaning out my stash and I found something really weird.

I have two Yaahl chests and they are identical. Both have exactly 137,615 armor, 8.9% hazpro, 4.0% CHC, and the entrench talent. These are the only two Yaahl chests I've ever found.

I feel like this is nearly impossible statistically. Is it possible the item got duplicated in some way?

Nevermind, I'm an idiot lol. I just realized I most likely bought them from a vendor.

[valid bronze]

Lol

[rain echo]

well with only 2 of us it took 14 mins

3rd guy left

[modern zealot]

is summit 100th on legendary still worth farming nowadays or is countdown better? returning player, haven't played countdown

[umbral dagger]

for gear, countdown for sure. it's repeatable.

[vocal flicker]

summit loot is pretty meh

[stoic bear]

Anyone know if you do the shields in d1, you can still get the cosmetics for d2?

[modern zealot]

not if ur farming L100, guaranteed named drop from hunters. there's a gimmick to not lose the 100th cp

[vocal flicker]

whats that

[modern zealot]

i thought L100 was common knowledge, looks like not lmao

[fallow inlet]

Hey Meowcat

[latent pollen]

memento is supposed to drop even if you've never gotten it right?

got my 5th go-bag

[foggy needle]

Yes but it's still RNG.

[tiny stump]

ive had a memento drop like once a year lol. luckily my first one was god rolled

[primal void]

u get the memento by targeted loot right? 🤔

[umbral dagger]

Yep

[mellow trout]

Nah I wanna know what demons u have to summon to get a scorpio

The literal only exotic I've gotten in like 6 countdown runs the games jebaiting me

[vague idol]

atleast it's a free component

[urban nymph]

Is anyone else noticing a bug with the capacitor? I’m not seeing the buff apply when I shoot people.

[faint flare]

Shoot more people? XD. Gotta make sure ya know

[urban nymph]

Yea I’ve been using all morning. I haven’t seen the buff populate once. Even hard reset ps5. Still nothing

[hallow raptor]

While firing look at the gun, the counter is kinda next to the sights. There is no icon under your armor bar.

[urban nymph]

Oh wow. I see it now. Thanks so much!

[void geyser]

how do you get system corruption?

[hallow raptor]

Random drop in DZ, and it will never be targeted loot. Unless you were around when the blueprints dropped as season rewards

[void geyser]

ah dam is there a way to "farm it" or not rlly

[hallow raptor]

Farm DZ and cross your fingers

[void geyser]

alr

[rugged stratus]

Ge vendor> legacy caches drop random sys corruption pieces

[void geyser]

whats ge vendor

[void geyser]

is it guaranteed sys corruption drops

[hallow raptor]

Rng

[void geyser]

would you say a high or low drop rate

[true siren]

Not a 100% drop rate but not 0% either

Somewhere in between

[wind rain]

Firing up the game for the first time in over a year. If anyone would like to help me understand the expertise addition and anything else I have missed. Played this game religiously when it came out on Xbox but now on PC. Even if your on a different platform, any and all advice/tips is accepted. I feel like if I just jump into the game with the build I was using I may not be able to do co-op play (or maybe I will). Anyways, let me know.

Hi all I’ve just finished warlord dlc trying to do set ups for Anderson’s but struggling doing bounty’s anyone able to help

[vocal flicker]

https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/wiki/thedivision2/guides/endgame/expertise/

[rain echo]

expertise only really matters for pvp anyways

[icy finch]

can u explain ur reasoning to why it matters in pve?

[rain echo]

in pvp expertise just gives you a lil advantage

for leg stuff and the such expertise matter

[narrow kraken]

😳

[north jay]

which one should I recalibrate to max?

I like all of those stats fyi

sorry for the weird contrast im still figuring that out lol

[unique maple]

hello everyone!

is the new heartland content out yet?

[unkempt wharf]

Hi guys, is here anyone who havent done the Warlords DLC yet ? Im looking for someone ho havent done the High Corey Tunnel mission yet, since I missed the Echo apparently and I cant get to it now

[icy finch]

weapon dmg

[north jay]

Fair enough

[narrow kraken]

Tomorrow I'll be heading into the dlc as a fresh 30.

Keep in touch and I'll tell you when I get there

[unkempt wharf]

Amazing ! I wrote you a DM as well 🙂 thank you

[split thicket]

anyone know how to fix the pentagon breach mission bug?? I've already finish it but it just won't let me go to the next step

[void geyser]

how do you get this mask?

[delicate cliff]

It's the final reward for opening all apparel event caches

[void geyser]

can u still get it or nah

[delicate cliff]

If you're fast...

[steady terrace]

Plenty when floor 10 was a thing 🤧

[twilit harness]

Another diamondback

[verbal topaz]

Still can convoy

[plucky mesa]

If you can clear convoys fairly quickly you'll be done in a few hours.

[void geyser]

so I grind convoys then I get crates?

[steady terrace]

Nah not as efficient as f10

[steady terrace]

Ultra wide monitor or wtf is your fov?

[void geyser]

can anyone help me with convoys or f10?

[steady terrace]

Convoys too many buttons to press 🐒

[plucky mesa]

F10 still good?

[twilit harness]

Ultrawide

[steady terrace]

No 1 lvl per minute 🤓

[plucky mesa]

Thought it had been patched

[steady terrace]

Based

[vague idol]

F10 is patched ye

[inner tendon]

Floor 10 (and all of Summit actually) was changed, so that you only get the bulk xp per first completion, until you reset/complete Summit.
The old method of farming it endlessly is 100% dead.

[unreal wagon]

Hey guys!

In terms of the "Heartbreaker" set, i'm having some issues, or it might just be me not seeing it working

My kingbreaker has the "Linked Laser Pointer" on and just as anyone else, it comes with "Perfect Flatline"

I don't see the greatness in this build at all, Kingbreaker feels low in damage, and i can't tell if "Flatline" and "Heartstopper" is supposed to show as active "buffs" just as "Vigilance" does

Am i missing something here? 🧐

[wispy merlin]

heartstopper should show as a buff icon like vigilance along with a stack indicator.

flatline doesn't have an indicator, you just notice the damage increase

[hallow raptor]

Farming xp in summit is dead, but you can still farm the 3 named bosses on floor 90 for good gear.

[tiny stump]

kingbreaker is a really slow gun to build up your heartbreakers stacks with. you're gonna need something like an ACS shotgun to get your stacks up

[mellow trout]

Is there set locations to find the snitch

And also do shotguns build striker stacks per pellet?

[tiny stump]

8 pellets

[mellow trout]

So that's why everyone uses the aa12

[tiny stump]

and there are locations for snitch. you can look up division 2 interactive map and turn off all the options except snitch and itll show you where he might be

[mellow trout]

Aight bet

So for striker's acs12 is better or worse than Scorpio

[hallow raptor]

Acs12 is full auto so it is preferred

[mellow trout]

Ah

[carmine flicker]

Even though you’ll get the buffs from scorpio acs12 will build stacks the fastest

[torn minnow]

Is "Oh Carol" good at all? Just picked it up from a random loot goblin

[mellow trout]

I think it's supposed to be more of a goof around gun

[torn minnow]

seems that way

[mellow trout]

Same with the sleigher

[unreal wagon]

Works wonders! "Rock'N'Roll" is what i'm using now, and now the build shreds, thanks!

[mellow trout]

I'm waiting to get one of those from a named cache someday

[inner tendon]

It's worth noting that (generally speaking) an ACS-12 with Flatline is going to beat out Rock+Roll on most builds. The extra mag size seems nice, but usually is less useful than a proper base ACS-12.

[mellow trout]

Does it take the laser pointer

[tiny stump]

good good. np

[hallow raptor]

Yes

[mellow trout]

AH BET

Slap on a turret and drone skill build and you'll have it done easy

Capacitor for a little bit less backseat gaming

[grim wedge]

sorry im a newbie dunno how to build.

[mellow trout]

Just slap some yellow core gear with skill haste or damage

Empress pieces if you have any

[grim wedge]

oke i'll try

[mellow trout]

As long as you have 6 yellow cores with a striker drone and assault turret you can't rlly go wrong

[grim wedge]

thanks

[mellow trout]

watch for warhounds emp jamming your skills and stuff just play cover

[grim wedge]

got it

[versed pumice]

I forgot but u can’t optimize purple gear right

[mellow trout]

There wouldn't be much of a point tbh

[hallow raptor]

^

[fallow inlet]

Hope everyone had a Merry Xmas

[median garnet]

does named item cache drop emp guard?

[cedar yacht]

yes

[bold fulcrum]

Can i get the watcher set with textiles after the dark path apparel event is over?

well for me i just want is the watcher set to buy with textiles(most pieces that im missing) and that's it cause for me the watcher set has that ominous vibe on him and that's what get's me interested in

and got i hope the railsplinterer can appear in the next dz verndor's cause it's the only DZ exclusive that im missing in my DZ exclusive collection

[low thorn]

I can't start the DZ West mission, but neither do any objectives pop up when I roam in DZ South. Any ideas?

[hallow raptor]

Typically they let you purchase keys / items with premium credits for a week after the event ends. Then it’s a long wait before you can purchase with textiles. Some items (resident evil items) never go on sale, so….

[bold fulcrum]

well that doesn't sound good

cause i think the only thing i missed from the resident evil apparel event that happened back then was just the Jill sandwich back pack trophy but other than that i have them all but i do hope i can get at least some of the watcher peices be wit h textiles

cause when i tried to get the black tusk heavy visor from the invasion section cause before i could buy the outcast and hyena stuff with textiles or premium but now i can't just like the heatwave apparel outfit's too

[hallow raptor]

Personally I would not hold my breath. Grind resource convoys for keys till reset

[bold fulcrum]

well for me i just pray that it can happen but if not then i guess i got no choice but to wait till then

[mellow trout]

Knocked out the crimson, ghoul, and wraith in one night let's go

[tiny stump]

awesome

[stiff canyon]

Considering buying this game on PC just have a few questions

1: can me and my friend play this like a campaign two player co-op game start to finish the same way you can wildlands and ignore all other online players/features?

2: How important is the new York DLC?

3: Besides Endgame can you basically play the game blind and get by doing semi logical builds that are good enough without using wiki/guides?

thanks

[mellow trout]

1- Yes
2- If you wanna have an incredibly expanded endgame and stay effective in raids, very

3- Assuming you're not rushing straight into legendary with a trash build then sure

[stiff canyon]

thank you

Is there any downside to playing base game for awhile then picking up new York a bit later if we like it?

[mellow trout]

Nope

Just bear in mind though all your gear will be worthless when you get the dlc

[stiff canyon]

makes sense thank you

gonna buy two copies tommorrow

[mellow trout]

Niceee

[icy finch]

imo there is no point in playing the game without the dlc

[stiff canyon]

@icy finch
even before you get to DLC content?

[icy finch]

i believe so but if u are planning on playing this game and thinking of getting the dlc just know everything u are doing rn will be wiped and is pointless

[steady terrace]

1.yes
2.vvimp,dont buy base game only.
As if u later decide to buy dlc u will have to farm all your old gear again to higher level
3.maybe but one or two definitely makes ur life simple by using builds

[steady terrace]

Yep later if u understand how to make builds ur old gear and weapons in base game become obselete

[stiff canyon]

I'm really confused about how DLC progression works then is it not something that kicks in late in the game like a new area or something?

[stiff canyon]

how does getting the DLC before we start change this

[steady terrace]

Yes new area ,weapons but it also unlocks ability to go from highest level 30(base game ) to level 40 across entire map (new + old ). Enemies scale to level 40 too as a result lvl 30 guns act like pea shooters. Which makes ur old gear collected in base game obselete

[foggy needle]

The dlc changes only impact end game, but add a ton of new gear and new endgame systems

Is the chameleon dropping from anderson? i've been doing like 50 runs and not one chameleon dropped

[lime jungle]

can someone clarify what "territory control activities" are? I've been doing a bunch of control points for Gunner spec and nothing has counted so far

[carmine flicker]

Alright so you’re basically asking two different questions here. Territory control is an activity in which you go to an area, kill like two waves of enemies, retrieve a key, and open a gear stash. Control points are areas controlled by a random enemy faction and consist of two parts for taking over the control point. First you attack it, and eventually kill a certain target, then you defend it from enemies and kill another target. From then on you have control of that control point, and the civilian militia will run it.

Territory control will raise the alert level of a control point

I don’t know which one you are talking about for the gunner spec thing

You need to to territory control

It sounds like you’re doing control points

[lime jungle]

ok thank you, guess I mistook control points for territory control

[carmine flicker]

Territory control activities look like guns crossed in an X

Control points have the flag and alert level next to it

[lime jungle]

Thanks

[cedar tide]

Is it actually possible to recal a red core into Picaro's? Last I checked, only blue and yellow, no?

[oak talon]

yes, picaro is only blue or yellow core, and the devs have stated they wont change it to have the ability to recalibrate a red core onto it

[cedar tide]

Can confirm, just saw that list of things the devs are looking at. Thanks @oak talon

[knotty sequoia]

Quick question. Can i get "Vile" Mask from Countdown?

[cedar tide]

Yeah, set your target loot to masks and pray to the gods 😂

[mellow trout]

I got stuck on the midas and revenant hunters how tf am I supposed to take on 2

[cedar yacht]

rush one of them with scorpio

[mellow trout]

I've been trying for weeks and still don't have one so

[cedar yacht]

unlucko

having one makes it easier

[mellow trout]

I bet

[foggy needle]

time to farm countdown for scorpio 😛

OPAF weapon for all builds

[mellow trout]

I've been doing countdown for ages and been getting a billion super 90's and the occasional sweet dreams

And now my gold lapsed 😭

[foggy needle]

RNG giveth and RNG taketh 😭

[tiny stump]

mine is only expertised to level 7 right now but it still hits so hard with this HF build ive been running it with. it hits crazy hard and 2 shots elites when intimidate is fully proc'd. 54% chc and 139% chd. with HF and a badger tuff piece its getting 25% shotgun damage

[fallow inlet]

Hey Zephyr, Ikia, Azurmen32,

[foggy needle]

Scorpio can be nerfed to deal zero damage and it would still be super strong. the CC is super strong.

[tiny stump]

this build hits at around 650k per crit pellet

but you can get by fine with wayyyy less

[valid bronze]

Super 90 is still a really good shotgun

[valid bronze]

Your are better off dropping a chd mod for a chc mod and sit at 60/127

[tiny stump]

yeah you're right. i mean i already crit average 6 out of 8 pellets, but going up to 60% chc would help that consistently hit more crits

[ripe relic]

How do i get lady death?

[cedar yacht]

Target farm smgs

[foggy needle]

this ^ best places is countdown and summit.

[ripe relic]

Ty

[sacred monolith]

each time i try to lauch div 2 it freezes and ends up crashing my whole pc

any fixes?

[icy finch]

no its been happening for years and the devs know about it but have yet to fix it

they probably will never fix it

[sacred monolith]

how do i get around it because it will start up and then blue screen my computer

this has never happened before

[icy finch]

restart ur pc

task manager end task

[sacred monolith]

lets see if it works now

[icy finch]

its funny bc mine just crashed just now

[peak ember]

Quick question, how difficult is it to get regulus?

[hallow raptor]

2 or 3 runs on Iron Horse and it’s yours. The projects are pretty easy. It’s just Iron Horse that can be a pain.

[foggy needle]

Notes runs have to be done over 2-3 weeks because needs rewards from 1st clear each week

[peak ember]

Oh geez

So it's kind of like a Nemesis situation just 1 place intead of like 4

[foggy needle]

nope no where near as bad as Nemesis

[latent pollen]

how many exotics are there? i haven't counted but i think i've only got half of them but i haven't gotten any new ones recently

[foggy needle]

a lot, dont remember exact count, but all are listed on the spreadsheet

[peak ember]

But its absolutely worth the trouble huh?

[foggy needle]

yes, regulus is the best weapon in the entire game atm.

[peak ember]

Really now?

[foggy needle]

not just now, always has been since HH talent was made (so about 2 years now)

[peak ember]

Good to know

Talent aside, how's it perform

[foggy needle]

probably still top pistol in the game without HH talent.

with HH talent, its the top weapon in the game for PVE.

[peak ember]

Meaning talents aside as a whole

[foggy needle]

??

[peak ember]

How's accuracy, stability ect

[foggy needle]

Like without considering its own talent? No point at all doing that comparison as you cant take talent off…..

[peak ember]

Basically what I'm asking is, when it comes to getting it's talent to activate, does it get in its own way with recoil and such?

[foggy needle]

nope

[peak ember]

Cool thanks

[north jay]

how many challenging countdown runs would it take to get lady death? I know its rng but is there a % chance?

[foggy needle]

fully RNG

so can take 1 or 100 or anything in between

[rain echo]

i saw somewhere that an exotic has a 0. something chance of dropping]

in CD at least

idk if thats accurate finding the extact % drop rate is hard

[foggy needle]

0.006% drop rate for exotics from challenging Count down. not sure if that is target loot chance though.

[rain echo]

wbu heroic?

[foggy needle]

.008% heroic

[rain echo]

ik summit is lower iirc?

[foggy needle]

from their official post a little back

[rain echo]

so cd has the least % drop rate out of all activities

looks dz is the highest % drop rate

thanks azuremen i saved the pic for future refernce

[foggy needle]

still a garbage chance lol

[rain echo]

i would of thought leg SHs would of had way higher % then .036

[foggy needle]

DZ 0.072% chance is like 1 in 1500 kills

that table is NOT target loot fyi, just normal enemy drop chance. target loot is still not fully known tbh

[rain echo]

must be low

[foggy needle]

target loot is higher

[rain echo]

yet in the end its RNG jesus

[foggy needle]

yes but less RNG with target loot 😛

[rain echo]

its still rng

what i do is i scariface a newborn agent and pray then go into CD

it works 50/50

just summon lootifcer and ask nicely but first you need to sacrifice 1 of your agents

[north jay]

keep in mind you get a guaranteed exotic every 2 runs of cd (exotic cache)

[rain echo]

Yea but it's random no guarantee your get the 1 you want

Better to target loot

With target loot uk eventually your get whatever exotic

With caches it can keep giving you the same stuff over and over

I once opened 5 exo caches got 4 coyotes and 1 lady death

[north jay]

yeah im doing targeted and caches for now

then onto AR and backpack

[supple swift]

afaik anderson still 100% rate post clear lol

[rain echo]

Doom is here the all mighty lmao

[supple swift]

lol been away a week
whats new in the game? or rather, what else did they break this time

[rain echo]

Uhh some people are getting GB BP trophy just by logging on

They log in and they can claim it

[willow ginkgo]

Ive done the Breach Pentagon mission but can't continue. Anyone know of a fix?

[rain echo]

Nothing new besides what I mentioned

[supple swift]

noticed that last night
same for the other event last time

[rain echo]

Chrases are still rampant

I forget how to spell crashes 🤣

I need to go back to grade 4

Jeez

[rain echo]

Doom give me a challenge I wanna use white gear

Anything besides all white leg(I do not have the patience for that nor the extra keyboards and mouse's)

[supple swift]

LOL

[rain echo]

I'll take any challenge

[supple swift]

cant think up any yet but you'll get it soonest.
i think the challenge part of white gear isnt really the gameplay but the judgment from other players lol

[rain echo]

Oh dw I'll use other players as bait

There be the guinea pigs

I'm willing to ve hated 🤣

I've done all of keeners LTs I've done heroic CD all white and I've done keener all white so those are off the board

[supple swift]

raid?

[rain echo]

With keener I had someone with an emp build to destroy the tech

Raid is doable though I'd be useless

[supple swift]

theres the challenge

[rain echo]

But I don't think a group would wanna run with a guy with all white gear

[supple swift]

THAT is the actual challenge

[rain echo]

Alr when I get back from visiting family I'll try to look for a group

Solo DH white gear? Lmao

[foggy needle]

Raid with all players full white gear. theres your challenge.

[rain echo]

Oh yes azurmen thank you for the idea the challenge is finding 7 other agents willing to do shenanigans

🤣

[foggy needle]

hey, you didnt ask for an "easy challenge"

i read the fine print 🤣

[rain echo]

Damm it

I'll look in #lfg-raid-pc later

And if not ill dm some friends and see

[north jay]

By all white, do you mean like the "rarity"

[rain echo]

Yes

[north jay]

Like how it goes white, green, blue, purple, high end, exotic?

[rain echo]

Yes

[north jay]

What is the max level you can get whites at?

[rain echo]

You can't upgrade em

I'll be back I gotta drive to my sister's

[supple swift]

oh do heroic floor 100 with white gear too lol\

[peak ember]

I'm actually trying to do that now lol just...not with white gear

[torn minnow]

What's the optimal difficulty/countdown tokens gained equation? Do I get more coins completing faster on hard/challenging, or do heroic, was wonderin.

[ivory sundial]

What were the other ways to get sys core again?

I need one piece to complete my build for it

[foggy needle]

farm DZ with "gear slot" target loot (ie backpack, chest) , pvp caches or vendors or craft them are the only ways.

[ivory sundial]

When you say gear slot u mean like the chc mods n stuff?

[foggy needle]

no like chest or knees

[ivory sundial]

Oh

[foggy needle]

either way its HIGHLY RNG for farming sys corruption sadly

[ivory sundial]

I can tell

What kinda crate does sys core come from

Just pvp?

[foggy needle]

Just DZ and conflict caches. So pvp caches

[ivory sundial]

Intriguing

Thx

[stiff canyon]

https://i.imgur.com/QDVF5ey.jpeg

Is this really overpowered to start with or ????

I got no idea how anything scaled

[ivory sundial]

Eh

Not really a good gun

Kinda weird to use too

[stiff canyon]

Nice

Is there any major stuff I should know starting the game ? Played plenty of fps games and looter shooters before, playing 2 player with my buddy with the expansion but starting from zero

[hallow raptor]

Gear doesn’t really matter to much while you’re leveling up since you change pieces so often. Just use the best pieces you find and use this time to check out different gear and weapons. No need to farm gear/builds until you reach end game, level 30 / world tier 5 or level 40 after warlords expansion.

[pine pulsar]

How do I progress through the Pentagon?

[carmine flicker]

You do the first mission but can’t do the second?

[pine pulsar]

Yea, it says I need to do Pentagon Breach

[carmine flicker]

It is bugged right now so you have to find someone else who has already done that mission and start it with them

[vale matrix]

Is it good that I'm a walking tank? For context, my armor reads 175k and my health reads 53.5k.

[pine pulsar]

Oh

[pine pulsar]

My armor is 1.4m with 335.2k health, If you're going for an armor build it is

[vale matrix]

Then again, you're probably world tier V.

[carmine flicker]

Any armor below 700k is impossible without being level 40 (dlc) so I’m assuming you’re in world tiers

[pine pulsar]

No, I'm LvL 40

[vale matrix]

Level 40. Got it. I didn't even do the expansion yet, so I'm world tier 2.

[pine pulsar]

I did all that on Ps4, I saw no reason to do it again when I switched to PC, so I just boosted

[carmine flicker]

Going off what I know of from level 40, your armor generally gets destroyed quickly and armor cores are more used to increase the shield skill tier

So if you’re already a tank I’d run the shield if you aren’t running it already

And I mean like if you have several armor cores

If you don’t and you’re still a tank then I have no idea how

[pine pulsar]

Yea I'm going for an armor tank build since I'm constantly solo (I have no friends who play Division 2), so I use the Ballistic shield and the drone the repairs armor

[vale matrix]

I had pulse and turret since the very beginning. I have no clue how that combo got me this far, but it did.

[pine pulsar]

Brute force XD

[vale matrix]

Eh... probably.

[mellow trout]

I've been wanting to put together a hunters fury build for ages but I felt like the Scorpio was a must

And I have no idea what smg to use cuz every single one I've used I don't like

[mellow trout]

Not me having 630k armour when I run all red cores-

[carmine flicker]

Your armor for the watch not maxed out?

Well it should be around 700k, might’ve been off by a bit

Armor was the first stat I maxed on the watch so it’s been like that for a while

[pine pulsar]

Is 1.6m a good amount of Armor?

[carmine flicker]

If you’re playing challenging above you will get wrecked quickly no matter your armor. Just delays it by a few bullets

[pine pulsar]

I'm in normal as of currently

[carmine flicker]

Ah yeah then you’ll be fine

[pine pulsar]

I want the Chatterbox but I don't have any keys I can get today

[hallow raptor]

Sewers

[pine pulsar]

Already got them

At least for today

[hallow raptor]

All of them? I know of 22 key boxes in 4 sewers
