Mine says 10 technician spec points
ah okay it's there, I wasn't sure
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.!!
Have you tried looking for a power box on the side of the DZ’s walls?
Not on pc
What does incoming repairs do?
Increase heals you recieve
That's a known bug, currently no workaround as far as I'm aware. It's been well reported though so hopefully devs are working on a fix.
Ill check it agin..
Nope. Only talents that explicitly state they buff you on swap actually do (finisher, bee). Oh, except sledgehammer. Can't be too consistent now.
anyone know why my game is always so dark?
Because it's full of death, despair, and an outbreak.
Lol fair, its darker than normal, any chance i could screenshare with you and see if youve had a similar issue ever or a work around?
sorry, i can't at the mo
What do you mean by dark
i got it, updated my drivers and it worked
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
always much quicker to get named item viva farming its target loot
I mean for the gift specifically, as its a dz exclusive (and named caches)
applies to DZ items as well
target loot in DZ in that case, so got to wait for providence in DZ
Earn stars or countdown creds and buy named item caches until prov in DZ
Should I try to max out specializations or prioritize finishing all the Black Tusk missions? And when/how are raids unlocked?
Level 30/world tier 5, or level 40 (DLC) for raids
Prioritize completing black tusks to get to world tier 5. You can work on specializations along the way.
Copy. Thank you.
Where’s this mask from? There is one in the shop that almost looks like this but the eyes are def not black like this one is
That's Deceit, it can be gained by anyone with the WONY dlc. Just progress your season level far enough to unlock the Schaeffer manhunt mission, then run that.
My season pass is maxed so I can go do that?
Yup, Coney Island amusement park, toggle mission mode. Beware the hunter.
Okay. Do hoods work with this mask?
nope, same as other hunter masks
Hey Rakey, Nug,
is it for sale at any vendors currently?
Okay so I have the manhunts unlocked from the pass, but do I need to do anything to activate them on my map?
open mission options for the Coney Island Amusement Park, instead of going into Select Difficulty or Select Directives submenus, just look at the bottom of the screen for a 'toggle mission mode' prompt (should be holding G on PC)
OH okay thankyou
I do 😂
Google Ruben Alamina for weekly vendor reset website
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
talents are just RNG for any item
really? i feel like fenris gives unbreakable more often than like other chest pieces xD
they dont favor any brands, just purely RNG
are tallents not the same regardless
you know what holds me back the most besides RNG lol this coyotes mask
because its always a red core no matter what lol
exotics have fixed stats and talents, the values on them are RNG though.
coyotes being red core always means im forced to find the perfect backpack or the perfect chest piece lol
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
Oh, didn't know you can encounter them here
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?
skill tier boosts your skills by various amounts. you can see in game select a skill, Look at the right window and it shows skill tiers effects on said item.
its open for a week every 2 weeks iirc. I think if you select it on the map it tells you when it opens next.
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?
Does that when already full on reasource
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.
anyone know the last time murakami or kneepads dropped in the dz?
all the time
OH, are you asking about target loot for them? well its fully RNG, what target loot gets assigned
Does that mean theres a chance of it dropping once in the next year?
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.
So is most of the current endgame all in New York? Or is DC still relevant?
Like the DZs or what have you
Cool, cheers man
current end game is in both NYC and DC but level 40. you do both still
Okay, good, good. That's what I was hoping.
fastest way to get materials? (ceramics, steel, field recon data mainly)
it's very inefficient
Okay, I've gotta be dumb or something, I'm not sure how to get up to this thingy here
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
Go down the alley to your left, climb up till you see ductwork, climb the ductwork
Gotcha. Thank you.
Wait where are you?
it's new york
If in NYC disregard
I can’t see shit in that pic
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.
Mission failed successfully 
Rather than doing it as a prompt.
i have a grand total of 150 ceramics and 400 steel to my name but have max titanium and carbon fiber

Gonna kill keener for the bazillionth time….
Having watch points rules
below 1000 makes it slower than takin a shit with constipation
i need 300 more till 1k
Quick black hanging crate materials run
how much we talkin
28 to 39 materials per crate, 10 crates I believe. Takes like 5/10 minutes
having 5 digit watch points without ever rerunning wony other than the first time for each alt
Yawn
seems efficient enough for the time it takes
Just do the DZ south underground route and get some weapon crates while you're at it
It’s quick once you learn the route. Run it with multiple characters and it works well
can you take materials from one character to another?
You have to buy the share materials blueprint from inaya at the crafting station on both characters
...I swear, my crossbow bolts completely pass through enemies so they can latch on a nearby wall <.<
What does Stability affect, again? Your recoil?
only DC
(...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?
depends on the grenade type, riker ones only explode on proximity and might only be triggered by agents
Ahhh, that's why then.
Hmm... I need more gun skins.
Does Haven function completely like the Base of Operations at the White House, or will I need to go back to grab new skills?
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
Okay, will just need to find the guy then
skills and spec trees are done with Rhodes, its near where you originally entered haven
would preservation be a good mod for the mop?
looking for the "force multiplier" backpack, should i be doing hana u target or backpack target
hana u
And Countdown
does capacitor not have a buff icon on the side of the screen?
No, you see the stacks next to the sights while firing
strange, i can't see them on mine
Go to the range, fire the gun, while firing look where the sights would be on the gun.
oh, it's on the gun itself
i thought it would be near the rest of the buff icons, mb
this thing, right?
thanks
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
i usually detonate while still aiming to avoid the swap
On PS4, after firing a fire chem, double tap R1 (or L1) to ignite. This puts the launcher away so you have to tap again to equip.
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
Better to wait till end game to worry about builds. Then you can have 2+ million armor.
use cover
and weapons too?
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
Yes and weapons
I know both parts, although I've only been playing the second for a few hours, so I'm surprised that I'm taking such extreme damage
6k armor used to be enough (Nomade Build) now I go down completely with 8k
Why... the hell... is the game not letting me talk to this guy? x-x
@rain echo
Figured that out a bit later, but still... fricking idiotic design.
The can emote don't count doom
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.
How the hell do I get to this SDH?
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?
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.
I think you can mantle over that wall where the gray power box is, then you need to shoot the lock behind that door. You can get an angle of it from that elevation.
I already got it figured earlier, but thank you none the less. Also sorry for the late reply. Thanks for the info. I'm not entirely sure I understand everything but I'm glad you helped me at least piece a few things together.
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...
did you get the key from the pump room
You're okay, no bother. You're more than welcome to ask here if you have any Q's 
tips for Trig Bounty. the beginning keeps messing me up
Should i be selling or deconstructing my stuff?
That's always been an issue with me... defaulting to "I'm a burden on people, but if I could ask for help..." etc.
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?
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.
you not finished ny campiain yet
whitch shd creat is it
...what?
in your screenshot
No I have no idea what the hell you just said.
It seems like you dont know how to reach the shd cache. But we cant see where you are. Which streets are near, which building etc?
Celebration hotel CP in Ny
That's where they are
does the dodge city holster still need the blueprint? I don't seem to have it anywhere
for the shd caches near celebration hotel, you need to shoot a yellow box to open the door. then you can climb up, and open the door at the roof for the shd cache.
Yes. You’ll need to complete the project quest to acquire it first.
How do I recon the DZ. I have posted yesterday that I can't seem to go to DZ West cause it says I need DZ South. I have been inside DZ south doing landmarks, however I still can't go to DZ West nothing happens when I walk up to the gates. I can not complete any of the tasks its asking because of this. It was said it was a bug. How long as this bug been known )
For the DZs try joining another player and getting them to take you in, I've recently heard that has worked for some people.
Ill try that, thanks
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.
nope, but the parts only drop on 1st kill of the week.
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?
eagle bearer hasnt changed so still meh
ah i have all the red weapons from a few years ago but maybe things have changed need tolook at builds i guess
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.
i gues for now just do the NYC DLC and get from lvl 30 to 40?
NYC does get you to 40
yeah just starting it now should be fun
chatterbox is still good fun 😄
heroic count down loot is better than challenging right?
yes but requires a much better team to do. challenging count down is still heroic loot but much much easier to do.
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
im basically in need of some max mods didnt know if heroic was a better chance at hose
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.
i just use hunters fury with scorpio i think i saw a video on it when i first saw countdown was a thing
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
yeah thats what i go for xD lol if we dont extract idc as long as we can do a few encounters
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
okay
Legendary can drop some nice mods, watch for gear mod targeted loot
yea actually all of my max mods including 13% pfe dropped on heroic missions lol
i love count down when we get the close range dmg buff lol
and i bet you hate it when hunters have status effect resist 😛
lmao yes
its funny watching the whole team trying to foam them over and over not realizing whats going on
That's the thing, that is my first run this week but the project material not drop, it's only drop for the 2 first boss
¯_(ツ)_/¯
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
Depends on multiple factors since additive is a dynamic gain (much more so than multi)
Its not like a double damage increase in any scenario is it
Can be more but also less (again it's dynamic)
Also everything is additive and multiplicative except amps are never additive.
Okay awesome and one other thing
Is it better to target farm gear sets or chest pieces if I want ceramics
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.
And gear set items tend to give more resources than high end
Also if you highlight a specific item in your resources it tells you which faction hordes that item. Then farm that faction
Okay
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?
Thanks i find myself lately running low on ceramics xD
If you die the bounty should just go back in the list. Map, bounties tab, yellow icon, may have to scroll down
8% handling adds 8% accuracy, stability, reload speed correct
its 1 to 1 (also 8% swap speed)
I don't have the project for it though, is there some special way to start it?
See the blueprints lady next to the crafting table
Then try doing the riverside gas station control point in west end on heroic to get the first part.
alright, i'll try that
First go to the project table upstairs in the BOO
nope, nothing there, and there's no blueprint to buy either
Then give the control point a try, has to be heroic
The part will come from the crate
On the first phase it comes from the crate, all the other ones come from the bosses wearing cowboy hats
nope, nothing
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 :^)
If the BP lady doesnt have the project for you then you already have it active (its not called dodge city holster, forgot whats it called)
completing that entire project rewards the blue print at the end.
see, I never did the project, but doing that control point on herioc seems to have done something to unlock it
if you never did it, then its still in your project list pending
nope, I see it in my crafting now
I'd like to think the project is called "Wild Wild West in DC" 
so the crafting lady has the project for you now?
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
¯_(ツ)_/¯
🤔 oh well, it's not the first time this game has conked out like that
Don't you get the project when you get one of the parts from an elite enemy or something?
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.
backpack > stat page tab
o7
Also I can't find the damned patrol that supposedly has the key to the door this SHD is behind x-x
that got changed a few months after release, the key is in a key box behind a door that has a shootable yellow junction box, inside that sewer
Thank you ;o
...I must be blind or stupid because I can't find that place you're talking about. I found a door that opens to a room with another locked door but I can't seem to open that one.
look trough the glass of that second door, there is a yellow box you can shoot inside that room
Hmm, okay
Weird, that's a bit hard to tell, 'cause you can't really shoot through glass that often, to my knowledge...
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 😠
Wait til you see floating magazine visual bugs on your weapon slots, and you'll know how to properly feel upset 😂
(Aww, that won't load into the thing ;-;)
...no that didn't do it either. Oh well.
Also, like, my thoughts when I'm on the way to do a mission or objective and I come across a patrol of enemies just doing anything really.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqbATaplBFA
Okay... how the hell do I get up to this one?
Rope behind you
I must be blind and stupid because I can't see any zipline thingies on the roofs of this alley.
No rope that I can see.
Can you perhaps give me a bit more info? Sorry for the trouble...
Sorry, you have to shoot the thingy
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.
Behind you (pic) on your right When you turn around
I'm sorry but... I don't see anything like what you're saying.
Go further down the alley
FUCKING FINALLY! Thanks dude.
Do headshots count as critical hits?
no they are 2 different things BUT headshots can crit, its just headshot damage is additive with crit damage.
So technically u can have either or n still do good dps assuming u can hit domes effectively right @foggy needle
yes except vs targets that have no head, or have helmet.
...targets that have no head? I presume you mean stuff like drones.
yes robots, also mission objectives
whens the new season start? I've not done the last mission yet...
In-game time shows less than 3 weeks, right?
anderson? im down to run with if you're gonna
i actually do enjoy that mission, with or w/o the exo
what's the crit cap in td2?
60 for crit chance
cool
Chd doesn’t really have a cap but it’s around 220 ish? Without outside buffs like backfire / coyote
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
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
It’s mostly ranged u could pair it with focus n just corner peak
use positioning to your advantage (reduce enemy firing angles through use of high cover)
you can make it a run and gun build, like I do
i'll admit that my positioning sense is a bit off after having played drone turret skill builds for a while
a few blue cores (optional), a shield, and memento
Nego bp nice tho
its my former go-to for heroic until i switched to HF regulus
cool, ill shout up when im running it
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..
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
I know what they look like, but just went to where one should be and nada…
I think there is an order
when i did em i could do em in any order
If that was the case, the one I just went to should have been there
you have to unlock the first one northeast of WH to put the rest on the map, after that its any order
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
are you wt5/lvl40 and do you have the year 1 pass?
Let’s see, I located the entrance to the first one and started the mission…. I’d have to say yes to all of the above…
the first classified mission shows up at lvl 13 so its not a given that you would be at endgame
Who are the guys we encounter in NY the 1s with ski masks who occasionally appear are they renaments of the rioters ?
What
their faction is named raiders on their kill card, not much lore on them, they show up in a few places, outside NY they are also the first enemies you fight in the prologue of the base game, and they are also one of the factions that can ambush you in the summit
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
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
What raiders gonna do against agents they are lightly armed and have little training
Throw a few mortar builds in there problem solved
Well considering you got 3 heavyweights duking it out I feel tje raiders were too scared to intervene
Well true sons ain't really heavyweights anymore so 2 heavy weights
BT and the division
TS at a point was nearly as strong as the BT. Kinda scary to think about it
The only reason Anderson even went tk nat was cause he knew the true sons would get folded by the division and BT
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
is wony worth it ??
if you enjoy base Div2 and plan to spend a lot of time on it then yes. Wholeheartedly yes.
Wony is where a lot of the cool stuff starts going
Hey do you get to choose a Specialization even if you don't have the year 1 pack?
how tf do you even start manhunt ?
gotta beat WONY
i did
yes, you'll have immediate access to Sharpshooter, Survivalist, and Demolitionist once you clear the Capitol Building stronghold for the first time.- Gunner, Technician, and Firewall you'll need to do a bit of work for, but they arent too hard to get.
okay but i don't have to buy the year one pack correct?
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.
ah okay thank you ^^ what do you think i should take as a new played in td2? i used to play a lot of td1 like 3 years ago
You get all of them.
and i can switch freely?
Yes. The only thing that "restricts" you is needing to level them all up seperately.
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.
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.
yea trying too just still kinda focused on the seeker mines from div1
does specialization works in pvp ??
no
anyone else having some minor lags here and there? like just the enemies standing still
Should i be selling or deconstructing my stuff?
Also is the base of operations from div 1 a spot i can find in the div 2 dlc?
Early game deconstructing everything as you get better gear. you will get credits from bounties and such
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.
How do u upgrade ur proficient gears
To upgrade an item you are proficient in:
• Approach the Recalibration Station in the Base of Operations.
• Select the Open Menu option.
• Choose the Expertise tile.
• Select the relevant gear category.
• Choose the item you want to upgrade and select the Upgrade option.
(from ubisoft help article)
I hear that the classified missions do now have scaling (or at least, enemies are scaled to your global difficulty). They seem to have snuck that one in when noone was looking as it's not in any patch notes.
Haven't tested myself yet though.
Think you have to head upstairs in the white house to start it off, you should have a side quest pointing the way
Yea they have scaling now. Pretty cool if you ask me. Was a long time ago i played these missions so now with the scaling it feels like new content
I mean you don’t know what will spawn and at which door you know
Yeah I need to give them another go sometime
Thanks for the heads up.
is there any reason my game crashes? like when i play in Washington i have no problem playing but once i was in NYC i had 2 crashes is there a way to fix this?
Is Dare bugged?
I just noticed, a normal GR9 can fit whatever muzzel, but Dare can only fit the special suppressor which the description says its for the Stoner
In Conflict they absolutely do. Use them almost every match
Ive been off this game for months. Are weapons like Rock and Roll / Apartment still DZ only. Can you still get them from season caches outside Whitehouse?
Yup
I had this issue. Initially i bout WONY from Ubi store. I had 3 blue screen crashes, I refunded. Bought again from Epic, I was advised to verify game files. Fingers crossed I have had no further issues but there's still stuttering issues in game.
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
target loot backpack
hi, when i destroy the doctor home i don't get diamonds, bug?
Yes
Hey Aspect, Fearlxss, Kettle
why's it so hard to farm the setup with repair skill and skill haste.. so close yet so far 🥹
2nd one is nice
yeah although status effect for a healer build idk how viable that is, rolled off armor to skill
can be used on a CC build (since they dont use EP backpack)
did u turn on dx12
Same methods as always - luck, going in at a quiet time, or just waiting in one until everyone else leaves
what is that?
Or get 11 friends together and just fill the dz that way
It's a graphics setting
Its not there
Check DM’s
i don't
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.
Sometimes it bugs out. Start a different difficulty, then switch it back to the one you want.
hop to another area like summit then hop back
my problem is that none of the difficulties work
ok now you fully have to hop completely out then hop in
out of the game?
yup
you gottem weird glitch
can someone tell me shd lvl up 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
@narrow krakenread the rules 😛
easiest way to lvl iis heroic convoys with 5 directives
i cant contact ubisoft support either lol they still havent responded to my ticket and itS been over a month
Hey Azurmen32
So I should level first before matchmaking? How high?
what lvl are you on the demo cause it may only go so high
like lvl 5 lol
but if i were to buy the game, how long before i can co-op and what level?
once you buy it you can matchmake anything or ask for backup
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
i always help i just play healer😆
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
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
just work the game and see how far you get before you need help the n hollar
if i wasny working id help
No glitch, just gotta grind resource convoys or higher difficulty activities with as many directives as you can handle.
ok ty
turned off is correct yea?
Might work, u can try turning off high doi setting and Fullscreen optimizations in the compatibility settings
what weapon types should i go for? i usually play a technician based playstyle with seeker mines
Is the pvp worth playing at all? Tried it and basically got one shot the entire time
some people like it. You have to invest quite heavily in pvp-specialised builds, expertise and stuff to stand a chance though
Doesn't sound fun for me wish there was a mode that was just straight balanced but oh well
no unless you're willing to no life the game like a job
Does anyone know if the drop chance of the kingbreaker a lot lower is than the other AR's ? I have been trying to get it for a week, but it still hasn't dropped.
nope, just rng
So unlucky 😭
Does anyone know how many exotic components it costs to make a weapon from expertise level 15 to 20?
Under social in menu can you change your locations?
Sorry, 40. 55 is from 10-20.
My first one took forever. Still have only seen like 4 total in a few months.
I just dropped one 🙂
It's trash though
Drop rates aren't weighted. So it's drop rate % is exactly the same as any other weapon.
Anyone advise me how to change region on pc. Im on us east need europe.
VPN i recommend mullvad
No i mean in settings under social
yup connect to a UK server on vpn and start game
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
What i mean is that on console you could select choose a better server. Theres no option on pc
You only get that option when it says “poor connection to server” otherwise it’s log out and back in, or join someone in a different region.
how and why??? and yes we are trying real hard
Because someone in your group had directives on. They recently started carrying into the raids. Need to be sure all in group turn them off before starting raid… welcome to D2…
we as a group call it the pro servers we play every friday with at least no regen special ammo. and i just put on pistalero. we have fun
yes and plz the all the global events, but we wanne have choice not by a bug
pro servers ... @lfn dont want none of this! 🙂
^^ 
Say Less!
before you start reset at the helicopter, you wouldnt get any directive no matter what
Good to know
On challenging with all directives, yes
Anybody have any idea what causes this?
I've done the preceding mission and restarted the game and pc countless times :)
Does countdown count as a raid? Then it would make sense why the minimap sometimes doesn't show anything
where can i change my spezification?
Could be thanks
found it in NY ty^^
should i use Technician if i want to focus on ability damage with seeker mines and drones?
i also thought of going firewall since i mostly play a aggressive playstyle with smg's and shotguns
true true
Afaik 30% with the chest
I don't think so
When you get a buff in CD it says what the buff is
Iirc no buff gives crit 1 gives close range dmg boost another gives long range
Looks like 1 is speed 1 is headshot something and the other 1 is a skill buff
that first one is the close range buff
like what am i supposed to do if i can’t even move my cursor across the map without it crashing?!
anyone know people floor 100 farm and keep the other account open?
Group of 4, one leaves to keep check point, rotate who leaves.
not how i=ve done it.
Then I’m not sure what your asking. All characters have the same check point regardless if they never even go to summit.
thats why i asked how they keep it while having another ACCOUNT
a whole different account
not character
Get two accounts and two pcs? Then do what Buddha said I guess
are there certain crafting blueprints that are impossible to get now? i.e. UG and BsA
If that’s not what you meant, maybe explain what you’re seeing @graceful sigil
Assuming it's crashing when you get near the countdown/summit area of the map, that's a known bug. You can maybe fix it by doing the manhunt.
i have chirpy left before i do the mission. do i do that then try the manhunt? or is their anything else?
Yeah do chirpy and anything else you need to do to unlock the Anderson mission.
then just do the mission and it should be fixed? this only started happening last night so i’m a little confused.
Yes. Some high end brands and green gear set blueprints were attainable during their respective seasons only.
Where do I get some good gear my gear score is 302
Continue completing the invaded (red) missions and strongholds to move up in world tiers
Okay thanks
Is there any way to get the Jefferson plaza mission to stop making me do it every time I open the game? I’ve completed it like 12 times by now and it’ll say I completed it, until I close the game and start it up next time I play again
It’s also already tracked on my map when I load in. Even if I had something else tracking when I got off
Hey! I have a question: When I complete the Capitol Building mission am I able to complete all the other side missions and stuff I didnt complete yet?
Yes, all the small light blue and other stuff like shd tech caches you still can go back to. I have plenty of shd caches to go back to to unlock other skills but I’m just lazy lol
Ok thank you :) I was worried I need to make a new character to complete the missing missions 😓
Np 😉 shd tech caches and side missions for attachments is one time only but will stay there forever till you complete it on that certain character.
Is it possible to have more than two skills, like the pulse hive etc? (sorry im new)
Hey Kettle,
You can have all of them, but only 2 can be used at a time.
Thank you! for that
You are right :)
If I change my world tier to the lowest and do the manhunt copley island
Can I still get the mask
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
Whoa, I've seen you in Rise chat. Surprising to see you in TD2 
Crusader shield isn't meant for tanking. It's meant for "buying you enough time to GTFO or finish the kill and move".
Yeah, I bought the game a week or two ago to play with a buddy after beating Wildlands 2 lol
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
I like to think of it as a 3rd health bar that regenerates fast, esp. with artificer.
So in short what's the major playstyle/tactics of Firewall/Gunner/Demolitionist
that's what I'm considering atm
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?).
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
Thanks for both answers will also share this with friend
Helps a lot
If someone has already crafted the regulus, will it drop from exotic cache or targeted loot?
Nope, raid exclusive, but has been known to drop whole in iron horse
Only on normal right @hallow raptor?
Correct, just like eagle and ravenous
Ok thanks!
Okay, this might be exceptionally dumb... Why do I have weapons in my inventory and stash that are Rank -1 and can't be used? Are they from an older version of the game and I should scrap them? Or can I use them in some way?
they dont take up space fyi
Probably the exotics that were rewards for gold or platinum purchase. They are useless and can’t be deconstructed.
Do my control points get taken again every time I get to a new world tier
These are the three I'm looking and being annoyed by. lol
I’ve tried putting them on a character and deleted that character. They wind up right back in the stash.
think so
Like he said, they don’t take any space in your stash so just ignore them. Or you could try removing the points from their associated specialization.
anytime difficulty is changed world map resets
Yes
I'll just ignore them and finish New York... I'm still not done with this expansion, but at least everything is max level now.
How do I know what level I am cuz it only shows my gear level
If you have a “gear score” you are level 30 ( max level in base game). I believe you can see your world tier in upper right corner of the map (max world tier is 5).
I just got to tier 3
So do I need the dlc to go to level 40
You do
Yes
Is lvl 40 when gear level stops rising and i can actually focus on build crafting?
yeah
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
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
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
Recently I’ve heard of a bunch of xbox people crashing during countdown and I crash at least once a week on ps so yeah it’s on all platforms
This is getting annoying
So with the calibration station should i be extracting stuff whenever i can or is there some method to it that i don't get
I would go in this order with unwanted gear.
- Recalibration library
- Proficiency/ expertise
- Deconstruct
- Sell
That might change depending on what you need at the time.
I think i figured out the station
This game is destiny levels of not explaining stuff well
Having your library maxed out will help a lot with builds.
I wish i had looked into this sooner cuz I've probably sold a lot of max stats
#new-player-resources @dusky pier
Anyone got some dark zone tips for a fellow Agent
DZ tips as in pvp tips or general DZ tips
Dont die! Have a good pvp build and always be ready for action lol
@vale token in general I'm fairly new at DZ and I'm trying to grind pestilence
Just have a good build tbh and itll make farming easier also really be ready for action, it can come at any time
So 1. have good build, 2. be ready to fight because people will come for you eventually 3. try to be efficient and 4. Try to match make or LFG some teammates to help out!
Okay thank you
Anyone know whats the fastest possible time frame to get expertise 10
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
is there suppose to be a mission giver here?
its in the sewers. acces is by the white building, in that screenshot its in that area on the left, the sewer entrance is even marked on your minimap
How are you supposed to use the Kard Custom to gain +1 revive hive charge? I equipped the pistol, threw the hive, it ressed, swaped back and then I had zero charges. I'm clueless here.
It only gives the extra skill tier as long as you have it out
Oh I probably have to pick it up then
And if you go down the hive blows up regardless of skill tier
Right. Cheers
Okay... what am I not getting here? ;-;
I broke a padlock off a door to get to this part of the mission, and I need to get through this door, but I can't seem to find anything to progress through.
Is it something easy and I'm just too stupid to see it?
Somewhat. You need to shoot through a window or door on the other side
I didn't see anything that screamed "Hey shoot me to unlock this door"
Hmm I'm unsure now. Wanna invite me? Ubisoft: TheSocialOne
This is all I can see.
Again, I'm really unsure now, but if you want we can go together
Seems like the other person typing might know?
...there's a yellow box there I didn't notice. Hmmm.
Your sentiment is appreciated all the same Social ^^
how do beat floor 100 as a skill build
the hunters keep disrupting me and hacking my shit
i'm playing solo unfortunately
i have a HF build, it's not great
Got a scorpio?
probably not?
ok then its impossible.
Is there a chart or spreadsheet someone has made that shows like what materials and how many of each per expertise level are needed
and a grand total per weapon or item
there is
Do you have a link?
unless you are talking about donating items & mats which for that it'd be 3k-ish printer filament
How much hp do the bosses in dh have
where do you get the nemesis ?
Do the quest for it
First piece is in Tidal Basin, other pieces are in the other Strongholds but they need to be invaded to drop them
Blueprint drops from invaded Grand Washington Hotel
There's many guides online, you can find one easily for details
i didnt get the blueprint
Don't you need all the pieces first before the blueprint? Did you have all of em?
can it only drop from mission?
Thank you for that. I’ll have to go look but I swear it wanted me to donate 3 things to get from proficient to 1% I didn’t see printer Filiment I’ll go back and look when I get home
You need 2 peices for the bp, pretty sure its the starting peice and another
Oh I just noticed that’s to be proficient okay.
Man this is expensive lol I should prob only expertise the things I absolutely use the most 😂
And hope those things don’t get nerfed
You need to have 2 pieces before it can drop
For the gear sets do I have to actually use them to get the perks
expertise is useful on weapons for extra weapon damage
And can I upgrade gear to a higher gear level
Gear sets have to be equipped to get the benefits, yes
What about making the gear level higher
Unless its an exotic, no
Are exotics the turquoise ones
They're the reddish looking ones. Turquoise or teal (idk the colour lmao) are gear sets
Oh ok I don’t have one yet but I was able to recalibrate some of the gear and get it up by like 10-20
Yeah I think I’m going to do just a few weapons for now for expertise
i have a question guys, If I were looking for a Badger Tuff chest piece, what's the better method to get it?
Do I target loot Badger Tuff or Chest piece in countdown?
question, im just starting, is it better to salvage gear i find or sell it?
Target badger. If you just do chests you’ll just get every brand set chest in the loot pool
Thank you!
Finally got my first full set
Well almost I’m just missing the gloves but I got all the attributes
Please dont use 6 peices of a gearset
Why
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
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
You mean 3 pieces of one gear set and 3 pieces of another?
Yeah
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
Oh okay
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
also dont do that. 4pc talents of gearsets are the most valuable of the gearset talents, the smaller perks (2pc and 3pc) are just small things that have synergy with the gearset.
What must one do to get an eagle bearer ? fairly new to the game
it's a reward from the Dark Hours raid, only on Normal difficulty. RNG, not guaranteed.
to do it you need to be at endgame (preferably lvl 40, post WONY endgame) with a strong crit dps build
the devs have also said they dont intend to add more skills, only change up skills already in the game
has anyone gotten "The Gift" Providence defense backpack recently? did a few countdown runs and have only gotten sacrifices
it only drops in the DZ, Conflict Caches or from Named Caches
ah that's why, thanks
What are some good lmg attachments
CRIT, same as every other gun haha
mods for chc, rof, and mag size
he's just trolling, ignore him
Fair enough
Hey Zephyr,Aspect, Kettle,
hey Saph
nice counter-trolling there Aspect
Indeed
how is it trolling ??
i said it is not ok to use only 1 thing for years
well whatever not like it matters, games dead anyway
Did Aspect get rebalanced haha
I thought someone got rid of your reactions
Should've kept them tbh
If we didn't get the heartbreaker blueprints from Season 8, is there any way to get them now?
Not until season 8 replays, as I understand it. Would like to have them as well.
Man, that sucks haha
what's a good xp farming method now - now that they removed the summit floor 10 thingy?
They removed floor 10 farming
Best way to farm is open world activities specifically convoys with as many directives as you can handle
Resource convoys on challenging or heroic with all directives
Ohhh okay okay thank you!
Here is a chart if you want one
did i read wrong...
i got a pop up that said about some new things
One of them said inventory changes
nothing seems different
Any good gear sets
So, I just hit the "Endgame" but I'm on Normal because I just started it. Is there anything I should focus on doing or should I just do this Manhunt that popped up and worry about finding gear later?
Lots, see pinned spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice
Time to start farming
some of the manhunt is locked to challenging (or above) difficulty so you'll want to put together a half-decent build first - I'd recommend starting with a tier 6 turret/drone build for ease of farming & gameplay, then you can pursue other activities. Check the spreadsheet Buddha mentioned for builds.
Hey, now that I'm 40, are DZs worthwhile to go back and do?
is heart breaker still good
yes
is it better than striker?
better is a term that has different uses per person
ok ig would heartbreaker perfrom better than striker in a legendary mission/strongholf
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.
yep, i knew it lol
is tgi kard a dz exclusive?
yes
you can check what is DZ exclusive in the spreadsheet pinned in #td2-build-advice
I guess nobody had an answer for me >.>
are any of the dz vendor currently selling it?
only if you like PVP in this game
But where else would I go for the good loot?
I know PvP is a part of it, but...
i should reanswer this, as i wasnt fully correct- Kard is not DZ exclusive. The TDI Kard Custom is, the named version.
i meant the named version
Anywhere else. an item found in the DZ is not better in any way from an item found in the LZ if they are the same.
LZ?
LZ- Light Zone, anywhere that is not the dark zone.
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.
Even back then you were not correct.
Oh fooey. Still, it's a GOOD thing that it's not the only place to get stuff.
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.)
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
lmao me being smart
i've just been around too damn long
So wisdom, then, if not smart.
Gearscore is now a thing of the past. (still technically exists, but its hidden and means nothing)
Fair. So what do you focus on instead? I assume it's this rank thing on my guns...
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.
Hmm
Getting the right stats and the right combinations of brands for your build.
Where would I start, in regards to that?
Right stats always outweigh max stats. The ""right stats"" depends on the build.
I mean I tend to solo a lot but that doesn't make me averse to group content.
#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.
Okay. Thank you for the info. 🙂
Does it have some "prebuilt templates" to go off of?
as in like "this is a starting point"? not really, all builds are different, requires different things.
Fair
Closest thing would be a standard red build, but even then its just for midrange weapons.
I take it some are rather glass cannon?
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.
Thanks for all of your help. Sorry for taking up so much of your time.
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
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.
DC or NY?
It's an 8 player, 20min group speedrun game mode
Ah. Non-solo then, I presume.
Its matchmade as well, which is nice.
And due to its usefulness the pool is always quite full.
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
What is the expertise systems because I don’t really understand it
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.
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
you can just activate her bounty and run it, no need to change difficulties (minimum is Challenging for that one though)
incidentally, there is no cooldown on rerunning any missions on any difficulty except classified missions and (sort of) raids
Ooooh. I need to bump it up to Challenging then... I'm still a Normal Nancy.
it'll start at challenging difficulty regardless of your world difficulty settings
you may want to bring some help though
Well, my Grand Washington is completely closed off. I can't actually go in because I ran it earlier before I had her Bounty.
have you gone to the bounty screen and activated her bounty?
Yup.
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.
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
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.
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
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?
target loot areas rotate daily (except countdown & summit where you can choose your own)
Countdown and Summit are both new to me... So I'm just poking my head into them for the first time.
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
I'm trying out Summit now, where do you access Countdown? I didn't see it on the world map for DC.
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
it's called Pentco Power Plant or something similar on the map
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
open up the map menu and look at the options at the bottom of the screen
to set target loot, that is. Pretty sure you can leave it by just fast travelling away
Oh my god thank you.
havent played this game since TU2, is it still populated on PC?
yes
It's a rank system seperate from level, SHD and DZ rank. Each brand, gear set, skill, named and exotic gear has 10 ranks each that you can level up in various ways. Once you reach rank 10 you can start boosting the efficiency for that item/brand/set.
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?
creds if you need it but otherwise always deconstruct
disposal of junked items goes:
- expertise/proficiency
- deconstruct for mats
- sell
idk what that first one is so ill just decompose them
Assuming your library is full.
ah yes library, if not library takes precedence
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
did he boost to NY
Yes
thats why, boosting gives some attachments for free
Ah gotcha
fixed but you understood
Thank you! We were confused
Would 15% chd from the final providence piece or 10% ar damage from fenris be better?
Famas 2010, m1a, busy bee if that matters
it depends on the rest of the build which one will be better, in general on a somewhat optimised/expertised red build 15CHD wins out over 10 WD, but also in most cases its within 2% of each other
if you want to know specifically for your build, use a tool like these to calculate both out and then you can know for your situation:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1TJzpvj5D-I7ANvMH76NZA6iLdSTTOb8_
its a general glass cannon/vigilance red
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
fair enough, setting up the spreadsheet right now
i love spreadsheets
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?
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
for HF you will need WONY, all of the gearsets added as part of a season are not available to lvl 30 characters, you can check here if a gearset is base game or WONY, the ones with a yellow rogue symbol all need you to be lvl 40 :
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nrPBmOrtpkEW1j5fbcRT7L-AXgsGOqMqxXoVtopsiGM/edit#gid=1925112187
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
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
Just keep in mind you can't run turret/drone in Countdown.
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.
I can't start season 10 on td2. I have to carry out the briefing mission, I If you go to Photo 2, Kelso doesn't appear. Why are you doing this?
Try going upstairs to Manny's room.
nothing happens.
If not rebooting and logging into the game again, maybe fast travelling to NY and going back to DC again might do something
I tried that and also check the integrity, but it's still the same.
is polarity switch over or ending tonight?
Ending tonight
thank ya much
guess its time to spent the stars then
Hey Zephyr, Fearlxss
is this mask somehow obtainable anywhere, its apparently in the outguard comsmetic thing but for me only a rebreather is showing up
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
What's this debuff on enemies that looks like a raccoon
Is there anyone on PlayStation that don’t have the eagle hunter mask yet? I can’t get the hunter to spawn
I do plan on getting wony within the next month or so, I’m just not able to atm. So I’m mainly looking to do a lvl 30 build to keep me occupied until I can get wony.
Gives stacks when you have bonus armor. Each stack gives 5% weapon damage to enemies within 10 meters
Talent is called intimidate it is on your chest
Cool thank you
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
oh
Guys, I have 7 ivory keys and 12 hunter masks. I had 7 before I killed the last hunter and I still have 7. Any tips? Sorry to bother
just go through the story, dont worry about grinding XP
Can anyone help me do anderson manhunt?
check in the LFG channels
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
id say just get used to not having bee as much as you can
I think I should practice using my build without it, to get a feel for general ttk and survivability
what stats increase grenade damage?
explosive damage, glass cannon
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.
-
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.
-
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.
Easy fix, don't stack bee up, just get 1 stack on it and swap back to main. Still hella strong at 1 stack
Yep it's a bit like rotations in MMOs but super easy
Yup
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??
do you plan on buying the DLC? if yes, then it becomes irrelevant
I do but it may be a while before I can. I’d say another month at least
Unless it goes on sale
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
Okay. So focus on stats more. At least until I get wony
If u use smol shotty can u use it with shield
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
so i went to new york can i go back do the main do?
Nope yoi gotta beat WONY before your able to go back to DC
how to enter countdown
so need to clear all 4?
unlock watch, u can get back after that
What's best way to farm for chameleon and coyote mask
Clear all 4 rogues kill keener get watch then you can go back to DC
Countdown with targeted loot as ARs and 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
Chameleon seems to have a high drop rate from bounties.
Its original "main source" actually is bounties - doing bounties in AR target loot areas is basically stacking exotic drop odds in favor of it
I get kicked from countdown all time that's why I'm trying to figure out other ways to farm
then do summit. countdown and summit are the best farming locations
thought matchmaking :)
no button for that
Map, matchmaking tab, countdown
oh theres no specific node to click?
Click on countdown, open countdown menu, select difficulty, click start matchmaking. This way will make you the host
Hi, can anyone help me with DZ trophies on PlayStation please?
Hi all, does defender drone actually deflect bullets aswell as give damage reduction? or only damage reduction
only damage reduction
ty
If you're running a turret drone build, or matchmaking for heroic countdown with a weak build, that might be why you get kicked. Otherwise it's just people being elitist so host the games yourself as suggested.
how do i get the SIG MPX?
Farm targeted loot for smg’s and cross your fingers
oh so it is targeted loot, ok thank you very much.
99% of gear, you just farm target loot for the best place.
There is also one for sale at the clan vendor
how often does kenly college show up? or is it unavailable now?
