I have 35/40 side missions completed. I am stuck on Recon DZ West, but when I walk up to it nothing happens. When I look at the map, it says I need DZ South Recon. I am however able to enter DZ South, what am I missing.!!

#

does the killer talent for pistols apply to other guns?

#

does the chd transfer I mean

nimble spruce
#

Nope. Only talents that explicitly state they buff you on swap actually do (finisher, bee). Oh, except sledgehammer. Can't be too consistent now.

Im looking to get the gift bag, would it be quick to get in dz, or should I just open a bunch of named item caches

foggy needle
#

always much quicker to get named item viva farming its target loot

north jay
#

I mean for the gift specifically, as its a dz exclusive (and named caches)

foggy needle
#

applies to DZ items as well

#

target loot in DZ in that case, so got to wait for providence in DZ

hallow raptor

Should I try to max out specializations or prioritize finishing all the Black Tusk missions? And when/how are raids unlocked?

My season pass is maxed so I can go do that?

Okay. Do hoods work with this mask?

nope, same as other hunter masks

Hey Rakey, Nug,

Okay so I have the manhunts unlocked from the pass, but do I need to do anything to activate them on my map?

nimble spruce

OH okay thankyou

golden geode
#

or what ever button is used on controler

#

how many people use controler here

vale token
#

I do 😂

hallow raptor
vale token
#

is there a list or anything of like brandsets that favor certain talents

#

like for ex when I farm fenris I notice the chest pieces usually drop unbreakable a lot

foggy needle
#

talents are just RNG for any item

vale token
#

really? i feel like fenris gives unbreakable more often than like other chest pieces xD

foggy needle
#

they dont favor any brands, just purely RNG

golden geode
#

are tallents not the same regardless

vale token
#

you know what holds me back the most besides RNG lol this coyotes mask

#

because its always a red core no matter what lol

foggy needle
#

exotics have fixed stats and talents, the values on them are RNG though.

vale token
#

coyotes being red core always means im forced to find the perfect backpack or the perfect chest piece lol

foggy needle
#

yup thats why chest and backpack rolls dont really matter, just make sure it has the correct stats and talent and then just optimize the rolls up.

#

IE it can be 3 chc, 6 chd with glass cannon and would be perfect if those are the stats/ talent combo you want

vale token
#

i keep getting everything except chc or chd

#

its always headshot lol

twilit harness
#

Oh, didn't know you can encounter them here

halcyon sorrel
#

What does skill tier on armor do, exactly? They look like batteries and there's a meter in the bottom left of the inventory hud when I compare the gear, but... what does it actually do?

When is the next time kenley college is out?

#

Or is it just random

#

Another question... I'm dismantling my old weaponry on my main character to make room for the level 31+ stuff as I earn them, and I wanted to know... why am I getting "00" of the alloy?

foggy needle
#

Does that when already full on reasource

halcyon sorrel
#

Ahhhhhh

#

Thank you. Haven't played this game for 3 years until about a day or two ago.

#

So I'd forgotten about my endgame stuff.

timid imp
#

anyone know the last time murakami or kneepads dropped in the dz?

foggy needle
#

all the time

#

OH, are you asking about target loot for them? well its fully RNG, what target loot gets assigned

timid imp
#

Does that mean theres a chance of it dropping once in the next year?

foggy needle
#

yes and no, again its fully RNG

#

those named knees can also show up on Vendor and can also get through named caches (again fully RNG) best place is target loot DZ like always though for named DZ items.

halcyon sorrel
#

So is most of the current endgame all in New York? Or is DC still relevant?

#

Like the DZs or what have you

foggy needle
halcyon sorrel
#

Okay, good, good. That's what I was hoping.

gilded quartz
#

fastest way to get materials? (ceramics, steel, field recon data mainly)

halcyon sorrel
#

Deconstruct obsolete guns presumably.

#

And armor

gilded quartz
halcyon sorrel
#

Okay, I've gotta be dumb or something, I'm not sure how to get up to this thingy here

gilded quartz
#

deconstructing stuff only has a chance at giving mats

#

it's more effective to just use unwanted gear for expertise levels, deconstruct whatever is left

hallow raptor
halcyon sorrel
#

Gotcha. Thank you.

I can’t see shit in that pic

halcyon sorrel

No your thing actually put me in the right direction.

#

I had to climb onto a truck on the other side to cross a scaffold bridge.

#

So ironically, despite being the wrong area, your directions still helped me.

#

So.... I just figured out something.

Holding ctrl to vault over things make you automatically parkour over obstacles.

halcyon sorrel
#

...I swear, my crossbow bolts completely pass through enemies so they can latch on a nearby wall <.<

#

What does Stability affect, again? Your recoil?

carmine flicker
#

Yes

#

Higher stability equals lower recoil

halcyon sorrel
#

Gotcha.

#

Does New York have any Dark Zones? Or is that all back in DC?

nimble spruce
#

only DC

halcyon sorrel
#

(...for some reason,at least in New York, when I shoot grenade enemies mid throw, they do the drop thing and react with an "oh shit", but nothing explodes. Is it just me?

nimble spruce
#

depends on the grenade type, riker ones only explode on proximity and might only be triggered by agents

halcyon sorrel
#

Ahhh, that's why then.

halcyon sorrel
#

Hmm... I need more gun skins.

halcyon sorrel
#

Does Haven function completely like the Base of Operations at the White House, or will I need to go back to grab new skills?

oak talon
#

haven has everything that the WH has with the exception of a blueprint vendor and the shooting range, so you can do almost everything there aswell

halcyon sorrel
#

Okay, will just need to find the guy then

oak talon
#

skills and spec trees are done with Rhodes, its near where you originally entered haven

I have seen people detonate fire chem with taking their chem out of their hand does anyone know how to do this because when I try to detonate my chem my chem goes back to my bag

supple swift
#

i usually detonate while still aiming to avoid the swap

white nymph
#

When I aim and go to detonate it swaps

#

Is it something on pc can do?

hallow raptor
winged rampart
#

do you need cheats in the game from level 14 to progress, or how does it work?

I'm looking for tank skilling, and I'm kicked out of life in less than 10 seconds, is that normal, or should / shouldn't you play tanks and Ubisoft wants to tell me that?

Armor value is over 8000

hallow raptor
past spoke
#

use cover

winged rampart
past spoke
#

not sure if enemies have innate damage to targets out of cover but they will gun you down a lot faster if you aren't playing in it

#

i find that using skill builds is a bit... unreliable while leveling in both td1 and td2

rain echo
#

Yes and weapons

winged rampart
past spoke
#

well, armor isn't the same in td1 and td2...

#

and there isn't a stamina stat anymore

halcyon sorrel
#

Why... the hell... is the game not letting me talk to this guy? x-x

supple swift
#

@rain echo

halcyon sorrel
#

Figured that out a bit later, but still... fricking idiotic design.

rain echo
#

The can emote don't count doom

halcyon sorrel
#

Is anyone like me who just really likes how stuff like the SCAR-L, ACR, and similar guns look? There's just something appealing about its form.

halcyon sorrel
#

How the hell do I get to this SDH?

halcyon sorrel
#

Hey uh, what exactly are these meant to be?

#

Like I've seen the buffs on the gear items, themselves, but what is this "point counter" of those mods meant to represent?

cedar tide
# halcyon sorrel Like I've seen the buffs on the gear items, themselves, but what is this "point ...

Left column shows the total number of cores in your build. Red = WD, Blue = armour, Yellow = skill tier.

Right column shows the total number of attributes like the secondary and tertiary rolls of each gear. Could be CHC, CHD, armour regen, skill damage, etc.

Not sure entirely, but it could also show your added gear mods to mask, chest, and BP, generally.

I use it as a visual guide to see which build I'm using, or if an existing build needs tweaking, etc. Full DPS builds generally have 6 red cores and 12 red attributes/mods (I think 8 if you're using a gear set, iirc), for example. Quite useful, I'd say.

Now my next problem... getting this door at the end of the Kajika mission opened 😦

#

Ah, damn it, if what I'm reading is true it needs a key that was hidden earlier in the level...

Nope ;-;

#

Oh well, it's just extra loot.

#

Not overly important.

halcyon sorrel

Also i started the dlc at lvl 30 and the only things that have been dropping for me are low level things and it feels like I'm dying quicker than i should is this normal or did i mess something up?

halcyon sorrel

Not sure how...

#

I just know I started the content on my old character with gear score 500 gear prior to the DLC.

#

...that building seam is driving me nuts.

Is there a bug that regulus part not drop on boss? I got the first and second project part from the first and second boss, but the third didn't drop the part for me.

#

Been away a few years got Ubisoft + so thought id come back look see, what should i look out for first, and is the eagle bearer any good still?

foggy needle
#

eagle bearer hasnt changed so still meh

sand burrow
#

ah i have all the red weapons from a few years ago but maybe things have changed need tolook at builds i guess

foggy needle
#

well last balance pass was ~3 years ago, so all old gear is the same but new gear was added.

#

except OD gear set and striker gear sets got massive buffs.

sand burrow
#

i gues for now just do the NYC DLC and get from lvl 30 to 40?

foggy needle
#

NYC does get you to 40

sand burrow

yeah just starting it now should be fun

sand burrow
#

chatterbox is still good fun 😄

vale token
#

heroic count down loot is better than challenging right?

foggy needle
#

yes but requires a much better team to do. challenging count down is still heroic loot but much much easier to do.

tribal hemlock
#

the loot in heroic is better in that the minimum rolls are higher

#

you can still get great rolls in challenging

#

but on challenging you'll also get much lower rolls sometimes

vale token
#

im basically in need of some max mods didnt know if heroic was a better chance at hose

tribal hemlock
#

if you're going for max mods do heroic

#

you just have to run with a good build for countdown

#

and inspect your teammates before it starts. leave if you see lots of blue cores and skill builds.

vale token
#

i just use hunters fury with scorpio i think i saw a video on it when i first saw countdown was a thing

tribal hemlock
#

there are lots of viable damage builds just be honest with yourself about how you're contributing

#

check the damage outpout stats at the end. i dont remember off hand but 30 kills and 1+ billion dmg means you're fine.

#

problem with heroic is it's 50/50 that your team will have awful builds

#

but tbh if all you want is mods your team just needs to get past the first hunters

#

extraction doesnt matter

vale token
#

yeah thats what i go for xD lol if we dont extract idc as long as we can do a few encounters

tribal hemlock
#

if you wanna up your chances be the guy running foam and glue the hunters down before they can disrupt

#

doesnt matter if its tier 0 foam

vale token
#

okay

hallow raptor
tribal hemlock
#

yea actually all of my max mods including 13% pfe dropped on heroic missions lol

vale token
#

i love count down when we get the close range dmg buff lol

tribal hemlock
#

and i bet you hate it when hunters have status effect resist 😛

vale token
#

lmao yes

tribal hemlock
#

its funny watching the whole team trying to foam them over and over not realizing whats going on

narrow kraken
foggy needle
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

vale token
#

Idk if this is the right way to ask the question, but what is like % diff between additive vs multiplicative damage? like 20% add vs 20% multi

#

Like how much more dmg do you get from multi vs the additive

foggy needle
#

Depends on multiple factors since additive is a dynamic gain (much more so than multi)

vale token
#

Its not like a double damage increase in any scenario is it

foggy needle
#

Can be more but also less (again it's dynamic)

#

Also everything is additive and multiplicative except amps are never additive.

vale token
#

Okay awesome and one other thing

#

Is it better to target farm gear sets or chest pieces if I want ceramics

foggy needle
#

I'm not exactly sure what drops specific resources (I've found it random but it's gear not weapons)

#

Best way for farming resources is alts and shd watch tbh.

hallow raptor

Hey everyone... I'm recently rank 40 and finished up WONY. I started in on the season 10 missions, clearing all the control points in Chirpy's area, etc... I got the bounty specific for them, but unfortunately died and lost the bounty. Now I'm not seeing a way to get finish this section as the bounty still shows 0/1 and I don't see a way to start it over.

Any ideas?

The part will come from the crate

halcyon sorrel

Oh hey, I think that was my first crash...

#

I've joined the crash club now

hallow raptor
#

On the first phase it comes from the crate, all the other ones come from the bosses wearing cowboy hats

upbeat nest
#

oh, wait

#

it just materialized in my crafting recipes, but wasn't there last night

#

well if I hadn't done that it probably wouldn't have been there, so thanks all the same :^)

foggy needle
#

completing that entire project rewards the blue print at the end.

upbeat nest
#

see, I never did the project, but doing that control point on herioc seems to have done something to unlock it

foggy needle
#

if you never did it, then its still in your project list pending

upbeat nest
#

nope, I see it in my crafting now

cedar tide
foggy needle
#

so the crafting lady has the project for you now?

upbeat nest
#

I didn't even have to buy it, it's just there after I did that CP, but it was blanked out when I looked last night

foggy needle
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

upbeat nest
#

🤔 oh well, it's not the first time this game has conked out like that

cedar tide
#

Don't you get the project when you get one of the parts from an elite enemy or something?

halcyon sorrel
#

Is there a way to see what my overall stats are? Like what my current critical hit chance is, stuff like that. I feel dumb for asking, but I'm not sure where to look.

Also I can't find the damned patrol that supposedly has the key to the door this SHD is behind x-x

halcyon sorrel

#

look trough the glass of that second door, there is a yellow box you can shoot inside that room

halcyon sorrel

But hey, it worked. Thank you iKia

These headphones on this hat don't cover my ears, just sit on the outside like my ears are rigid and bony, and it upsets me 😠

No rope that I can see.

Can you perhaps give me a bit more info? Sorry for the trouble...

hallow raptor

#

No no, I know how to shoot the bag thing with those, but I can't see any on the roof to lower the climbing rope.

hallow raptor

Behind you (pic) on your right When you turn around

I'm sorry but... I don't see anything like what you're saying.

hallow raptor
halcyon sorrel
#

Do headshots count as critical hits?

foggy needle
#

no they are 2 different things BUT headshots can crit, its just headshot damage is additive with crit damage.

versed pumice
#

So technically u can have either or n still do good dps assuming u can hit domes effectively right @foggy needle

foggy needle
#

yes except vs targets that have no head, or have helmet.

halcyon sorrel
#

...targets that have no head? I presume you mean stuff like drones.

foggy needle

yes robots, also mission objectives

past spoke
#

is negotiator's dilemma a run and gun build or is it one where you try and stay in cover?

#

can't quite make heads or tails of this gear set

nimble spruce
#

generally better to fire from cover, it has no sustain and is very squishy

#

just tag a few enemies then focus on whichever makes the easiest target

versed pumice
nimble spruce

use positioning to your advantage (reduce enemy firing angles through use of high cover)

supple swift

i'll admit that my positioning sense is a bit off after having played drone turret skill builds for a while

I can’t remember, do you have to complete the classified mission to see the location of the next one? I just want the fast travel locations..

rain echo
#

iirc no

#

you just gotta find em on your own in any order]

#

classfied locations should be marked by a dark blue circle on the map

hallow raptor
#

I think there is an order

rain echo
#

when i did em i could do em in any order

hallow raptor
#

If that was the case, the one I just went to should have been there

oak talon
#

you have to unlock the first one northeast of WH to put the rest on the map, after that its any order

hallow raptor
#

Have done that, located the entrance that is. And I can fast travel to it. But nothing else is showing…

#

Have gone too 2 others now and nothing

#

Tried starting it, and then backing out, still nothing

oak talon
#

are you wt5/lvl40 and do you have the year 1 pass?

hallow raptor

oak talon
rain echo
#

I'd like for them to expand on the lesser known factions

#

I feel there could be some interesting lore like I wanna know how the raiders came to be

#

Ubi please give us lore on the lesser known factions

marsh onyx
#

Funnily enough, during Anderson Manhunt at the plant, the comms between the BT and the TS suggested that they had a large number of Raiders guarding the outside of the plant in case of Division agents or other factions coming in

#

But for some reasons they are never found when playing the Manhunt itself. Only BT and TS was presented

rain echo
#

What raiders gonna do against agents they are lightly armed and have little training

#

Throw a few mortar builds in there problem solved

rain echo
#

Well true sons ain't really heavyweights anymore so 2 heavy weights

#

BT and the division

marsh onyx
#

TS at a point was nearly as strong as the BT. Kinda scary to think about it

rain echo
#

The only reason Anderson even went tk nat was cause he knew the true sons would get folded by the division and BT

marsh onyx
#

TS after Iron Horse and the 3rd Manhunt is severely weakened already

#

not to mention nearly half of the TS is rallied after the charismatic Cpt Lewis who is nowhere as ruthless as Antwon's batches of OG TS

#

it was a near full blown civil war for the TS at this point

#

I don't remember much but has there ever been a civil war within a faction before like the TS?

#

aside from the DIvision of course

narrow kraken
#

is wony worth it ??

marsh onyx
#

if you enjoy base Div2 and plan to spend a lot of time on it then yes. Wholeheartedly yes.

true siren
buoyant parrot
true siren
#

You do not. All the year 1 pack gets you is immediate access to Gunner, Technician, and Firewall (which you can earn through play) and some one-off missions that arent worth more than a single run through, and dont have difficulty scaling.

buoyant parrot
true siren
#

You get all of them.

buoyant parrot
true siren
#

Yes. The only thing that "restricts" you is needing to level them all up seperately.

buoyant parrot
#

ah okay okay

#

should i use the lvl 30 boost or not?

true siren
#

Dont, play through the game normally your first time. You paid for the game, might as well run the story. You'll do enough grinding at the end, make the most of your honeymoon period.

buoyant parrot
#

okay thank you ^^

#

oh, & Division 2 is a different game than Div1. Surface level, sure they look similar, but they act differently. Take the time to learn what works and what doesnt, but keep your mind open.

it is stupid that coolest thing are useless

true siren

I do not know the exact reasons why, and i wont claim to. All i know is that they are disabled in pvp. Anything that requires use of your spec weapon instead requires a grenade hit.

Hello! Anyone here knows how to easily farm Memento backpack? I'm just a returnee and I see a lot of build utilizing this backpack that's why I'm tryna get it

Hey Aspect, Fearlxss, Kettle

vague idol
#

why's it so hard to farm the setup with repair skill and skill haste.. so close yet so far 🥹

supple swift
#

2nd one is nice

vague idol
#

yeah although status effect for a healer build idk how viable that is, rolled off armor to skill

foggy needle
#

can be used on a CC build (since they dont use EP backpack)

gilded quartz
#

are solo dz instances still doable?

gilded quartz
#

anyone know how

nimble spruce
#

Same methods as always - luck, going in at a quiet time, or just waiting in one until everyone else leaves

Or get 11 friends together and just fill the dz that way

is there a reason to why i cant start when pressing replay

might be a slight glitch

I'm trying the demo and thinking about buying the game. What level can you start to play co-op? I've tried matchmaking but most of the stuff is dead.

trail tulip
#

damn...

#

so there is nothing i can do?

foggy needle
#

Sometimes it bugs out. Start a different difficulty, then switch it back to the one you want.

fallow inlet
#

hop to another area like summit then hop back

ok now you fully have to hop completely out then hop in

trail tulip

out of the game?

yup

alright closed it

lets hope it works

you gottem weird glitch

@toxic palm a lot of the players are up past wony, but i dont reccomend it, takes a good day and you up to wt5 then hop to WONY 6-7 hrs later your getting your shd watch

Hey Azurmen32

toxic palm
fallow inlet
#

what lvl are you on the demo cause it may only go so high

toxic palm
#

like lvl 5 lol

#

but if i were to buy the game, how long before i can co-op and what level?

fallow inlet
#

once you buy it you can matchmake anything or ask for backup

foggy needle
#

You can co-op at level 1, it's just most of the player base is at end game, so you'll rarely find someone till then

fallow inlet
#

i always help i just play healer😆

toxic palm
#

yeah you can matchmake on the demo, but no one is doing it down in the low levels. So just wondering roughly what level I would need to be before I can find people haha

foggy needle
#

Ah right, can call for backup too

#

Level 1 viva call for backup (calls someone to carry you) otherwise at end game, for normal grouping

fallow inlet
#

just work the game and see how far you get before you need help the n hollar

look for someone who plays that region, join their game session, leave group

I use a VPN to set mine to US East so I could play with friends there. Haven't done what Doom mentioned but it sounds interesting.

its the cheapskate solution when you dont have or cant afford a vpn

#

I'm up to level 24~ and my Crusader shield is getting smashed fast af now. I only have like .6% buff mods. Am I just playing this wrong and is the Firewall class any more defensive ?

I am considering what to get first at 30 and that's on my list but so far cluster seekers are way better than running shotgun/crusader

#

I don't watch anyone play the game or know what to expect really when it comes to shield usage like if I'm supposed to be able to use it to be able to push flanks with up close shotguns or if it's more for a backup emergency

cedar tide
#

Whoa, I've seen you in Rise chat. Surprising to see you in TD2 div2flex

foggy needle
#

Crusader shield isn't meant for tanking. It's meant for "buying you enough time to GTFO or finish the kill and move".

stiff canyon
cedar tide
#

As for Firewall being more defensive, it's quite the opposite. You're meant to be up close and personal since it's the nature of the class

tribal hemlock
stiff canyon
#

So in short what's the major playstyle/tactics of Firewall/Gunner/Demolitionist

#

that's what I'm considering atm

tribal hemlock
#

specs don't have play styles

#

Build has play style. Pick a spec that strengthens the build.

#

For example if you make a seeker spam build (4pc Hard Wired, BTSU gloves, cluster seekers, and stinger/healing hive) you might choose Demo because of the extra explosive damage.

#

For PvP you might choose firewall because of the 200% medkit.

#

Lately I've been using Gunner for my striker DPS build because it has AoK and ammo refills.

#

Most of the time a spec isn't required for a build to work but can make it better. There are exceptions like Technician being required for the linked laser pointer. Or if you're making a burn build you'll want... survivalist (? I forget) for the extra burn damage (or is it duration?).

cedar tide
#

General playstyle and tactics?
Firewall: CQC
Gunner: mid-range, shoot rounds down range from cover, get armour when you kill
Demolitionist: boom booms, explosives, all that jazz

stiff canyon

Does anyone here have their game crashes often? Like it happens every 30 minutes or 4 hours when playing then the game just freezes and crashes

#

Or sometimes not at all, it didn't even crash when I created a new character just to refresh my knowledge to the game and straight out played for 10 hours straight with no crash, but now it's frequent or happens after said minutes/hours

carmine flicker
#

It is a common issue on all platforms but crashing is a big issue on pc

#

Some people crash every 30 minutes while others can go hours without crashing

twilit harness
#

I don't think my game before when I was still playing on my PS4 Pro even crashed, but that's a surprise to know it also crashes on consoles

And also yeah, as I mentioned, I manage to play the game straight for 10 hours when I created a new character, but now it just crashes frequently

Anyone know whats the fastest possible time frame to get expertise 10

oak talon
#

depends ontoo many factors to give a direct answer, as if you are 5k shd or higher it can be in a few days to reach max (as you can run alts for watch points for donatable recources), but if you dont have acces to that then its allot slower

#

but in general its not hard to reach upto lvl 14, its only after that that it will become grindy

#

before that just farm all the weapontypes and brands in countdown, till you have them all lvl 10, another valuable tip is to buy all the named items from vendors weekly to donate those till 10

Please dont use 6 peices of a gearset

still holly
true siren

After 4pc you are not getting any benefit from using gearset peices, and they only have 1 attribute slot instead of high ends, which have 2

still holly
#

Oh okay thanks

#

So I still get all the attributes with 4 pieces

true siren
#

Yep, the talent is the last perk you get, at 4pc. Chest and bag gearset parts have talents of their own, which compliment the gearset in some way, while also hiving +1 to your count for overall # of gearset peices in the build

still holly
#

Okay thanks for letting me know

#

So technically I could run half of 2 gear sets

cedar tide
#

You mean 3 pieces of one gear set and 3 pieces of another?

cedar tide
#

Either stick to one gear set and use 4 pieces of it or none at all, usually the rule of thumb. It's how you'd maximise your potential with one gear set and its effects. No need to mix and match with other gear sets since it wouldn't be worth it

cedar tide
#

But if it's something you wanna try and see for yourself, go for it. It just wouldn't be optimal in many cases. And just have fun above all else

better is a term that has different uses per person

Heartbreaker has less damage but gives decent armor. Strikers doesnt give armor, but has higher damage.

i have a friend said discovery raids drop raid exclusive gear, is this true?

he is bullshitting you.

fading plume

yep, i knew it lol

rain nova

is tgi kard a dz exclusive?

true siren
#

yes

halcyon sorrel
#

I guess nobody had an answer for me >.>

rain nova
#

are any of the dz vendor currently selling it?

true siren
halcyon sorrel
#

I know PvP is a part of it, but...

true siren
rain nova
#

i meant the named version

true siren
halcyon sorrel
#

LZ?

true siren
#

LZ- Light Zone, anywhere that is not the dark zone.

halcyon sorrel
#

Oh <.<

#

But I thought the DZ was where you went to for stuff like contaminated weapons you'd scrub clean, or better chance at exotics... I remember doing them a fair bit, even with the PvP danger, back in 2019.

true siren
#

Even back then you were not correct.

halcyon sorrel
#

Oh fooey. Still, it's a GOOD thing that it's not the only place to get stuff.

true siren
#

DZ is where you go to find the exclusive named items, which are also available in the named caches (and a few other ways, like manhunt rogues.)

halcyon sorrel
#

Options are always a good thing.

#

You're obviously smart, where would you recommend a fresh 40 go?

#

(Is the gearscore thing they had back in the day still a thing?)

#

I remember I was at about 500 or something

true siren
#

lmao me being smart

i've just been around too damn long

halcyon sorrel
#

So wisdom, then, if not smart.

true siren
#

Gearscore is now a thing of the past. (still technically exists, but its hidden and means nothing)

halcyon sorrel
#

Fair. So what do you focus on instead? I assume it's this rank thing on my guns...

true siren
#

Fresh 40s should generally find a "farming build", something that clears challenging & heroic content with a degree of speed, either solo or in a group. I used Hunter's fury while i farmed for the standard red build.

halcyon sorrel
#

Hmm

true siren
halcyon sorrel
#

Where would I start, in regards to that?

true siren
#

Right stats always outweigh max stats. The ""right stats"" depends on the build.

halcyon sorrel
#

I mean I tend to solo a lot but that doesn't make me averse to group content.

true siren
#

#td2-build-advice's spreadsheet has a builds section, 90% of them are heroic solo proven.

#

the two i use the most are the memento HF setup, and the standard red.

halcyon sorrel
#

Okay. Thank you for the info. 🙂

#

Does it have some "prebuilt templates" to go off of?

true siren
#

as in like "this is a starting point"? not really, all builds are different, requires different things.

halcyon sorrel
#

Fair

true siren
#

Closest thing would be a standard red build, but even then its just for midrange weapons.

halcyon sorrel
#

I take it some are rather glass cannon?

true siren
#

Depends. There are all kinds of builds in the spreadsheet.

#

I will say it is more advantageous to get used to low number of blue cores in a build, relying on your shield or cover instead.

halcyon sorrel
#

Thanks for all of your help. Sorry for taking up so much of your time.

true siren
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

not doin anything else, no worries

nimble spruce
#

Countdown is a decent place to start farming, can choose your own loot and there is a lot of it

#

Just stick to challenging difficulty in countdown until you have a really strong dps build

halcyon sorrel
#

Countdown?

#

Is it a specific mission?

true siren
#

Pentco power plant, not on the map- off to the side.

#

repeatable mission, target loot can be selected in the mission, easy enough on challenging.

halcyon sorrel
#

DC or NY?

nimble spruce
#

It's an 8 player, 20min group speedrun game mode

halcyon sorrel
#

Ah. Non-solo then, I presume.

true siren
#

Its matchmade as well, which is nice.

halcyon sorrel
#

And due to its usefulness the pool is always quite full.

nimble spruce
#

Yeah, just charge through with the rest of your group, shoot everything that moves, grab all the loot

So I presume you won't have to wait a long time.

Correct

#

So, I'm trying to do the Chirpy part of this Manhunt, but she's in the DC Museum. If I've already beaten it on this difficulty, do I have to upgrade difficulty or can I just relog to reset it and go find her?

#

Errr... Imeant Grand Washington Hotel.

north jay
#

Question for countdown specifically, how often should I be using the busy little bee? should I be using it very rarely, as my primary, or somewhere in between?

#

I know at the start its good against the hunters to get a quick 20% damage

nimble spruce
#

incidentally, there is no cooldown on rerunning any missions on any difficulty except classified missions and (sort of) raids

gray spruce
#

Ooooh. I need to bump it up to Challenging then... I'm still a Normal Nancy.

nimble spruce
#

it'll start at challenging difficulty regardless of your world difficulty settings

#

you may want to bring some help though

gray spruce
#

Well, my Grand Washington is completely closed off. I can't actually go in because I ran it earlier before I had her Bounty.

nimble spruce
#

have you gone to the bounty screen and activated her bounty?

gray spruce
#

Yup.

nimble spruce
#

very weird

#

is the quest marker when you activate her bounty pointing you to GWH?

gray spruce
#

Yeah. It's probably a bug and will fix once I relog.

#

I might ignore it though and try to gather some better gear, jump up to hard at least and get gear there before I try to do this manhunt.

nimble spruce
#

yeah I'd suggest putting together a tier 6 skill build with as much skill damage as you can muster and running with assault turret & striker drone. It's boring but simple and works in almost all difficulties

gray spruce
#

Honestly, I've been using Assault Turret and Striker Drone for most of my leveling because it just does it's job. Just trying to figure out where to get the gear pieces from.

nimble spruce
#

countdown, summit, or wherever has the right target loot

#

but you can just recalibrate skill cores onto whatever you like and it'll still work well enough for challenging

gray spruce
#

There was a build I found interesting when I was googling for them, but I don't see the map markers for designated loot for them. Do they rotate out types on the world maps weekly?

nimble spruce
#

target loot areas rotate daily (except countdown & summit where you can choose your own)

gray spruce
#

Countdown and Summit are both new to me... So I'm just poking my head into them for the first time.

north jay
#

very useful tools for grinding, I also find countdown very fun

#

highest amount of targeted loot you can find is in countdown, also a lot of named items, and exotics

gray spruce
#

I'm trying out Summit now, where do you access Countdown? I didn't see it on the world map for DC.

north jay
#

You are level 40 I assume, so it would be above the map, southwest of summit on the map

#

summit is pretty fun as well, although less effective for grinding

nimble spruce
#

it's called Pentco Power Plant or something similar on the map

gray spruce
#

Summit didn't let me choose the loot I wanted, but I'm still amused by it.

#

And I'll try that out after I ...lose? However you leave this place. lol

nimble spruce
#

to set target loot, that is. Pretty sure you can leave it by just fast travelling away

gray spruce
#

Oh my god thank you.

havent played this game since TU2, is it still populated on PC?

yes

#

for stuff that I stopped using, is there a way to determine if I dismatle it for parts or sell it for creds or is it always one way?

supple swift
#

creds if you need it but otherwise always deconstruct

#

disposal of junked items goes:

  1. expertise/proficiency
  2. deconstruct for mats
  3. sell

idk what that first one is so ill just decompose them

My friend has the 5.56 omega suppressor to use on his weapon, but its not unlocked on his crafting bench anyone know why that would be

#

It seems like CPs are giving him blueprints to things he already has unlocked

true siren
#

did he boost to NY

vale token
#

Yes

true siren
#

thats why, boosting gives some attachments for free

vale token
#

Ah gotcha

true siren
#

fixed but you understood

vale token
#

Thank you! We were confused

north jay
#

Would 15% chd from the final providence piece or 10% ar damage from fenris be better?

#

Famas 2010, m1a, busy bee if that matters

oak talon
north jay
#

its a general glass cannon/vigilance red

oak talon
#

that doesnt narrow it down asmuch as you think it does, does it have coyote, does it have fox, does it have contractors, does it have picaro, does it have a grupo piece,
if only fox then are you 3 chc/1wephandling the gun or 2 chc+1chd, etc, etc,
all of these shift it one way or the other

north jay
#

fair enough, setting up the spreadsheet right now

rain echo
#

i love spreadsheets

narrow kraken
#

Does targeted loot rotate on a timer or is it fixed loot? Also do I have to have WoNY to get the hunters fury set?

oak talon
#

TL rotates daily, its at 9:00 CET(in 20 minutes). when you are looking at TL on the map it also states the time till TL change at the bottom

narrow kraken
#

Ah. I’ll need to find some decent lvl 30 builds for now then.

oak talon
# narrow kraken Ah. I’ll need to find some decent lvl 30 builds for now then.

if you are intending to stay at lvl 30 for a while, negotiators dilemma gearset is a good set that is available, or making a high end based red core chc/chd build, most of the brands needed for that are available aswell.
but also i would recommend getting wony if you like the game, its worth it in my opinion and lvl 40 is now the actual endgame and most of the playerbase is there

#

check for sales though, it goes on sale often and is around 20 euro

maiden robin
#

I can vouch for wony. It felt just as fresh going from vanilla td2 to wony like it was to go from td1 to td2. At least imo

tribal hemlock
#

If you can put together a decent DPS build (doesn't need to be min/max'd; see spreadsheet) then you can run Countdown (on challenging) for as long as you can stand it until you're all geared up.

If not rebooting and logging into the game again, maybe fast travelling to NY and going back to DC again might do something

It’s called the ballistic helmet, might come out of apparel caches (random) and might be available for sale in the store

hey guys, curious if anyone knows why i can't see the other days of the event challenges?

there should be 7 days of challenges but i can only see days 1-4

theres only 4 days with quests

which you can do over 7 days

Gives stacks when you have bonus armor. Each stack gives 5% weapon damage to enemies within 10 meters

Is negotiators delema a raid exclusive?

no

if someone got a raid exotic out of a exotic cache would they be able to drop it for me?

no, because you cant get raid exotics out of caches

Asked this earlier, and im not sure if theres even a real answer, but how often should I be using my busy bee in a typical red build? I either use it 90% of the time or maybe 10%, and I dont know which is better

#

is it better dps in general to use an AR without any buffs, or use the bee until I get 10 stacks then swap to a fully buffed AR

supple swift
#

id say just get used to not having bee as much as you can

north jay
#

I think I should practice using my build without it, to get a feel for general ttk and survivability

fading plume
#

what stats increase grenade damage?

supple swift

explosive damage, glass cannon

# north jay is it better dps in general to use an AR without any buffs, or use the bee until...

I treat it as a novelty that gives me a boost in some specific situations. Overall my clear time is a lot slower when trying to stack up the bee before using an AR. There are two exceptions I can think of off the top of my head.

  1. When in the defense phase of a control point sometimes the spawn is clearly visible from far away. Due to damage drop off my AR isn't going to hurt them very much. That's a good time to spam the bee to tag them up to almost full stacks. Then push (or wait) and melt them down. Only works because stacking up the bee takes like 3-4 seconds in that specific scenario.

  2. In the DZ the enemies are really weak so you can easily clear an entire landmark with just the bee. If you anticipate getting jumped by players you can keep the bee stacks up while farming and switch to your main when a threatening player shows up. At full bee stacks you'll insta kill a player if you're running a standard PvP build.

#

If you get in the habit of just tagging one (how long could that take) then it's already a big boost.

#

Run with bee, tag 1-3 enemies real quick, switch to AR and shred.

foggy needle
#

Easy fix, don't stack bee up, just get 1 stack on it and swap back to main. Still hella strong at 1 stack

tribal hemlock
#

Yep it's a bit like rotations in MMOs but super easy

foggy needle
#

Yup

narrow kraken
#

Is there a way to raise the gear score on a piece of gear I want to use? For example if I wanted to use the hard wired vest but it was a 478, and my gear score is at 498, would I be able to increase it? Or should I not worry about gear score as much??

supple swift
#

do you plan on buying the DLC? if yes, then it becomes irrelevant

narrow kraken
#

I do but it may be a while before I can. I’d say another month at least

#

Unless it goes on sale

oak talon
#

at level 30 you only have acces to recalibration to adjust a piece, where at 40 you can also optimise gear, with recalibration you can reroll one stat on a piece gear to be higher or a completely different stat

#

but also at lvl 30, stats matter more than the GS, the gs system was also never meant for gear 2.0 so its pretty wonky, with sometimes full stat items showing up as 510-ish and then a item with a tiny part of a stat bar missing getting 515

narrow kraken
#

Okay. So focus on stats more. At least until I get wony

If u use smol shotty can u use it with shield

carmine flicker

You can use it with bulwark shield

And deflector

I'm on the summit on a level where I have to secure the area and hold the SHD crate - the crate is at 100% controlled and there are no more enemies but the mission isn't completing.

How do I progress the level?

Step into the circle around them and kill any turrets/drones/other skills and they should convert. :) @lilac meteor

What's best way to farm for chameleon and coyote mask

For coyotes you could do Jefferson trade center but countdown is faster

#

Chameleon from what I see and hear is a very common drop

hallow raptor
odd condor
#

Its original "main source" actually is bounties - doing bounties in AR target loot areas is basically stacking exotic drop odds in favor of it

then do summit. countdown and summit are the best farming locations
