[dim crag]

Ceaser's Guard this time

Bets on which named chest is next

[nimble spruce]

Better not be chainkiller

[pearl canopy]

no biggy i can get another one

unless they all broken

[nimble spruce]

Someone had one drop today with red core

[inland moat]

Yeah, they are dropping broken

[pearl canopy]

oh rip lol

[inland moat]

so yeah, going to have to find something else I think

[pearl canopy]

i guess the B.O.T Protector works will have miss out on the 5% till they fix

[inland moat]

HAHA. My CG is ok, as I rerolled the core to WD as part of my build, and it has retained the reroll

See if it will let you recalibrate the core

[pearl canopy]

did it keep the armor aswell?

[inland moat]

yes it did

Maybe its only broken on PC?

[pearl canopy]

strange

i'll run it to the bench and see what it says

that looks like a rip

[inland moat]

as there been a vendor update today as well?

[pearl canopy]

yep twice

once before update then after

[valid bronze]

Anything good?

[pearl canopy]

clan vendor is selling the new gearset if anyones interested

[valid bronze]

What are the rolls

[inland moat]

ROFL. I got ninjabike KNEES from the exotic cache from the weekly requisition project

[pearl canopy]

grats! and i already ran off sorry xD

[inland moat]

haha, I went round DC and took all the CP's yesterday

I have aleady cleared a primary objective by doing so

ah, ok, now its reset the CP's in west potomac

Something that worth doing is taking the choke CP so the castle isnt flanked by hostile troops

but the reactivation of the castle is long overdue

[vocal fiber]

If I dont have blueprint of Nemesis,
and I enter GWH while having Nemesis in my backpack
and kill puck
am I never going to get that blueprint or do I have to scrap the gun

[rough chasm]

You need the individual parts from the other invaded strongholds

[vocal fiber]

I do have them

but I forgot to put this in my stash prior to accessing GWH

[nimble spruce]

Move your nemesis to the inventory of a different character, then try again

Putting it in stash won't help

[vocal fiber]

was contemplatign that thx will try

[stoic bear]

Everyone simping over the ninjabag but it won’t replace the 30% skill efficiency from the momento and the other DPS backpack talents. You lose soooooo much dps using the ninja… shame

Can’t wait to see the YouTube videos saying the ninja is the new meta when you lose close to 50% dps switch off back pack talents haha

[vocal fiber]

imagine watching clickbait

[stoic bear]

Runner butcher OHHHHH BBQ CHICKEN NEW METTAAAAAAA WITH LESS DPS CAUSE I JUST COPY AND PASTE BUILDS

[vocal fiber]

thx for the help

[dim crag]

It's the Div1 players reminiscing of the old NinjaBike meta while forgetting Div1 and Div2 gear system is complete different

[vocal fiber]

well it will be fun to play around with

[dim crag]

Probably

Will also most likely stick with Memento anyway lmao

[stoic bear]

Haha I know, if I switch off my backpack talents, I lost up to 50% dps. That’s crazy. I was running numbers last night. I hit for a mil with the fam ar with striker backpack. If I take that off I lose sooooo much dps

[safe arrow]

Ninjabike is not really a viable option on the striker build...

[nimble spruce]

It'll be good for some hybrid HE builds I think, but definitely not BIS for everything

[honest nymph]

that dude is such a garbage bag full of meme sauce

[ionic orbit]

Anyone's Caesar's guard looking like this???

no attributes and mod

[honest nymph]

ugh tbey broke another item again?

[stoic bear]

BBQ CHICKEN METTAAAAAAA

[fresh vault]

What is "Mastery" ?

[narrow matrix]

So before season 11 release were people who played season 2 able to visit a room that had Bardon Schaffer in it? (Not sure if you can visit it now but it’s in the trailer)

For instance if you haven’t played DARPA labs yet then the perfusion bioreactor room in the White House isn’t accessible. Not unless you visit someone elses world will you get the cutscene.

[unborn delta]

How do I get the max control point level? (And what is it?)

[little sun]

CP4 (Heroic level), either bump up your global difficulty or do the connected freemode events to increase the CP alert level

[valid bronze]

@supple swift what do you think of the new open world directives?

[fathom vessel]

Very nice, Caesar guard rolls with red now

[supple swift]

what are they

[valid bronze]

Fog of war
Pistolero
Fragile armor
Scavenged skills
Special ammo

[sacred edge]

I was doing fog of war and the skill cool down one before, now I'm not sure what I'd do for a second one.

[supple swift]

those 5 are manageable together

[sacred edge]

Maybe for someone who has good gear? For someone trying to build up a build or just starting out thats a different story

[valid bronze]

It's slightly annoying though cause I doubt fragile armor is fixed

[supple swift]

its called an eclipse fire build

[sacred edge]

I barely have a hunter fury build at this point. Having a hard time getting the backpack/chest combo and my guns could probably be better

[supple swift]

an ep fire build is far easier to setup for newbie than an HF

[narrow kraken]

Is in td2 a Bug? I Made a second ago 3 shd Level With a convoy

[sacred edge]

I asked in build advice and heard HF multiple times so I went with that :\

there a guide for eclipse fire build in the spreadsheet?

[valid bronze]

HF is the best general purpose build

Eclipse is better for leveling with all directives

[pearl canopy]

double exp for 6 days

[narrow kraken]

Ok ty

[nimble spruce]

Only for 15 levels though

[sacred edge]

At this point I'm trying to A.) get a full build together with good stats and B.) Try to do the season content including the bounties. B seems like its near impossible for me to do by myself though

[little sun]

Get a good build first, do the season stuff later. It can wait, you have literal months to do the latter lol

[pearl canopy]

its only for 15 levels? rip

[fresh vault]

This costume isn't available in the game is it? The shirt.

[sacred edge]

Trying, the catch 22 of you need to do harder content to get better drops, but you need better gear to do harder content. Trying to find the sweet spot where I am doing the hardest content/directives I can with the current build to get the better gear so I can push further.

[nimble spruce]

Just run 6 yellow turret drone, doesn't need perfect rolls and easily clears heroic content

[little sun]

Work your way up to where you can do Challenging content without much trouble, Heroic is a lot tougher but doesn't offer nearly as much "good lot droprate" increase so it's perfectly fine to run Challenging stuff

[little sun]

This works, but that kind of gameplay gets stale quickly for people 😄

[nimble spruce]

Yeah it's best used as a temporary farming measure, and obviously not in countdown

Playstyle/skill makes a big difference too. I've literally cleared CP4s wearing only gear I just bought from vendors, once you understand enemy behaviour better it doesn't matter so much (just slower because lower damage output)

[sacred edge]

I can do challenging content without to much issue currently. So long as I don't do anything stupid or get overrun to quickly.

Grenade lobers and rc stuff are my biggest bane/issue

[nimble spruce]

Keep your ears and eyes open, they're easy enough to dodge/destroy if you spot them early

[sacred edge]

problem with the HF build is smg is not long range so I can't always get close enough to take them. The problem with dodging them is it takes me out of cover and then the rest of them light me up.

Less of a problem now when not using the directive that made me choose between my drone and the shield

[cedar yacht]

You're better of using a shotgun compared to smg w/ HF

and eventually Regulus

[sacred edge]

shotgun is even shorter range

[nimble spruce]

Cover to cover is great, you take a lot less damage when using it and it can clear a surprisingly long range dash

[cedar yacht]

^

[sacred edge]

I have been moving cover to cover a lot more later, but with fog of war I always worry about getting flanked

[nimble spruce]

Drones last ages so when cool skills is active just fire it up 20s before you expect to need it, and your shield will have cooled down by then

[sacred edge]

Sounds like I'm already doing what I need to for the most part

[cedar yacht]

are you using it for open world farm?

or general content?

[sacred edge]

I do open world and missions depending on the targeted loot

[nimble spruce]

You may find it easier with a mid range cover build like negotiators

[cedar yacht]

yeah

[sacred edge]

this one?

[nimble spruce]

Yep

[pearl canopy]

was caches removed from shd level ups?

[nimble spruce]

Always happens, they'll start again when you reach season level 100

[pearl canopy]

ah gotcha didnt know if it was a bug

saves me dismantling

[stoic bear]

They shut down the store?

I’m trying to buy levels

[hallow raptor]

Buy levels?

[stoic bear]

Ya seasons levels

But currency so I can buy shit with money

Take my hard earned money

Rather pay Ubisoft than my rent

[narrow matrix]

scavenged skills mostly affects skill builds... its the only one i think has a drawback

it kind of benefits dps builds in a sense, kill faster get ur skills back faster

[supple swift]

i see it differently as scav skills HELPS skill builds

[narrow matrix]

skills with up-time like drone and turret ...

especially if u run artificier hive

[nimble stone]

is the TDI "Kard" Custom giving the +1 skill tier only when used or also while using capacitor?

[nimble spruce]

Only when actually in your hand

[narrow matrix]

also best with skills where if you use it doesn't need to fill the next charge

ie chem launcher isn't good with it (for an additional charge) but will give chem bigger radius

[odd condor]

Mastery is how quickly you can complete the missions, similar to league mission time trials. Mastery runs of Kenly have a unique modifier where enemies drop a grenade at their feet as they die.

It's not worth the frustration.

[narrow matrix]

sounds fun lol

[narrow kraken]

so guys about the back pack the ninja bike if i wear 2 type 2 and 3 green gear and use that back pack mean i can get both tallent?

[stoic bear]

@nimble stone only when equipped

Only +1 when using the actual gun, you don’t get any +1 when it is holstered

[storm river]

Yes, so for example if you have 3 strikers pieces and the ninjabike bag, youll get the strikers talent

[woeful ore]

2 days trying to find yaahl in different dz. smthing happened or just unlucky?

[storm river]

Unlucky, yaahl has low droprates

But can drop in any dz regardless of targeted loot or if its invaded or not

[woeful ore]

sad

[unborn delta]

Ok did the Pentagon and DARPA. Now what?

[narrow matrix]

You have the option of doing Coney Island, camp white oak and manning national zoo or going straight to NY

[unborn delta]

What are the blue classified thingys for? (Im thinking it’s a season 1 thing?)

[narrow matrix]

I’d do them now so you don’t encounter bugs / also have to do their story mode counterparts at endgame (locks you from higher difficulty till you complete it )

[unborn delta]

Any specific order? Or just do those 3 and then NY?

[narrow matrix]

Story order id do manning > camp white oak > coney

[unborn delta]

Roger roger, thanks 👍🏻

[narrow matrix]

Also ignore kenley college if it’s open till you get to level 40

[unborn delta]

Roger roger

[thorn hedge]

ignore kenley college period

[narrow matrix]

Huh

[nimble spruce]

They require the year one pass or ultimate edition to access, basically just 8 more missions you can run. Quite fun but nothing truly necessary. They give you extra fast travel points too which is handy

[unborn delta]

How do I get rid of Manny talking about briefing the advance team? It won’t stop

[narrow matrix]

Advance team?

Only thing to get Manny to stop talking is to nuke the White House

[nimble spruce]

Snog him, it's the only way to shut him up

[unborn delta]

Yeah

[unborn delta]

So it’s bugged? Lame

[nimble spruce]

No idea but haven't heard anyone else complaining about that today

[narrow matrix]

Idk what that is

Is that the black tusk invasion

For weekly reset

[unborn delta]

Don’t know. But I can’t talk to him at all. It did the trailer thing for season 11, but now he won’t stop taking. Overrides other missions.

[nimble spruce]

Try log off and on again

[narrow matrix]

wait

i thought u were in wt5

are u level 40?

[unborn delta]

Yeah WT5, lv30

[narrow matrix]

ignore that then

idk why they showed u the manhunt u cant even access it

[nimble spruce]

It shouldn't be hitting you with seasonal stuff at that level, it probably is a bug then

[narrow matrix]

shouldn't override the missions at the top... see if u can access them

[unborn delta]

I tried. But every time Manny talks in another mission, it says him and Andy need to brief me on the advance team

Ok I’ll try relogging after this mission

[narrow matrix]

looks like ur bugged, sorry

[indigo dew]

still no fix to game frezing for no reason?

[storm river]

Theyre constantly pushing patches for that. Theres no 1 fix to solve it

My crashes have more or less been resolved, i sometimes crash on first boot but not more than that

[nimble spruce]

No but they said they've got permission to hire a team of engine specialists to start on fixing the crashes. Likely be months at least before we see any progress though.

[unborn delta]

Yeah it is 😞 relogged and still over riding things GAH. I havnt even bought it and it’s cramming this stuff.

[dusky cave]

Just tried buying premium credits for S11 but as usual, Ubi won't let me. I've only just got home from work and tried to purchase in game. Says "Sorry, it seems you tried to purchase this more than once. try again in a few moments". I retried and still get same message. As it didn't work I then tried Ubi Connect, same message and then got same through browser. I can see it in my basket, I just can't buy it. Any suggestions?

[vague idol]

guessing we dont have a toggle for this? bit annoying honestly..

[little sun]

The overlay thing? Should be changeable in the inventory settings page somewhere

[vague idol]

yeah the inventory showing, so obnoxious and annoying

[narrow matrix]

where can u turn that on haha

would help during countdown

[vague idol]

i want it off tbh

[little sun]

I recall from the patchnotes that there's supposed to be a toggle for it somewhere in the inventory settings

IDK where exactly though

[dense blaze]

So what's the xp farm this season?

[vocal fiber]

er what happened to caesars guard

[forest otter]

Crazy question, I have been seeing people complain on the forums that upgrading their proficiency level on their gear has resulted in NPC's becoming stronger. Is that true? I've only done slight upgrades to specific pieces and haven't noticed much of a change.

[vocal fiber]

sounds like skill issue

[forest otter]

Like their skill has deteriorated?

[clever ocean]

Sounds like the excuse someone who sucks would make

[vague idol]

nothing

here's to hoping that annoying back display will have a toggle

[livid pewter]

I hear Fay is the new hottness for XP farming. WOuld someone be able to tell me if it's a speedrun or farm like Anderson? Feel free to DM if necessary

[forest otter]

So to be clear increasing the proficiency level of your weapon and armor does not effect NPC Armor/Damage, correct?

[clever ocean]

No idea lol. It could be bugged but i doubt it

[storm river]

Proficiency only increases your overall expertise level. Expertise leveling specific items increases dmg/armor

[narrow kraken]

this is annoying tbh

[forest otter]

So leveling up your items does not cause NPC's to be come stronger and tankier, correct? That is what I am trying to confirm. I get expertise and proficiency confused. They are often interchanged a lot in the game.

[vague idol]

exactly

[storm river]

Neither makes NPCs tankier

[forest otter]

Just confirming that. Where did that rumor even get started?

There have been a few threads from people complaining about that.

[clever ocean]

People who suck

[livid pewter]

^

[clever ocean]

Gaslighting themselves that its not cuz they suck

[forest otter]

Thanks for answering that crazy question.

[narrow matrix]

proficient means you've earned kill xp for using that gun / donating

when a weapon is proficient you can expertise it

proficient on it its own does nothing

[forest otter]

I get those two mixed up.

[narrow matrix]

expertise gives 1% weapon dmg per level thats all (for guns)

[forest otter]

The terms for them. I know how to donate and upgrade each item. I just get lost on the terminology.

[narrow matrix]

yea i get u

[storm river]

Lots of people do

[vocal fiber]

wow they really doubled down on anderson nerf lul

[narrow matrix]

no more exotics from completion?

[vocal fiber]

no look at the stats that would be on a high end but that is not there

[narrow matrix]

u talking about attributes and core attributes

[vocal fiber]

ye

is caesar bugged atm?

[storm river]

Nah its supposed to drop without attributes

[vocal fiber]

kappa

[sacred edge]

Where are the patch notes posted?

[rain echo]

is it me or is the manhunt target on heroic but they are mostly red and purples

[vagrant pollen]

how do i get points for my special weapon?

[white vector]

yeah, same here

kinda sad cause there's no real challenge, felt like challenging or something

[nimble spruce]

that's probably Hyper--Sniper - if you look at his threads and posts you'll see all he ever does is present unfounded complaints about being secretly nerfed, noone else notices the same thing

[forest otter]

There was a thread last night. I just tried to find it and it is gone. It was 2 other people that were not Hyper. Could have been trolling or they could have deleted it after being called out by the forums.

[narrow matrix]

some bounties offer 5 some offer 3
each level up offers 3
invaded missions offer 3 I think
Projects

[rain echo]

First few parts were mainly reds and purples with a few yellow but once yoi got inside it was all yellow with some purple bar ads

PFE works wonders

[white vector]

you got lucky then

[rain echo]

Nah I went in prepared

I did wanna try all white gear but solo ain't happening 😕

[tawny mica]

The things you find in this game 😂

[unborn delta]

Dang it, this bug is fraking annoying. Does anyone know ho to turn off the stupid season 11 crud so I can listen to the storyline? It keeps cutting it off and I can’t hear or listen. EVERY TIME

[rain echo]

Are the ravenous and eb in the dz loot pool?

Haven't checked the DZ yet

I already have em but I want a few dups

And I don't feel like suffering through iron horse

[storm river]

Yes, with regular open world heroic rates

So like .0024 i believe

I dont think they drop with the 5% from nameds

[rain echo]

Is the regulus in the DZ loot pool or is it still locked behind the project?

[storm river]

Regulus is project locked

[carmine flicker]

So yeah you gotta do iron horse

[storm river]

Bighorn, eagle bearer and ravenous is dz

[rain echo]

Good letting the most powerful pistol in the game in the general loot pool would be a bad idea

[storm river]

Pvp pool* but yeah

[sacred edge]

I thought regulus was a raid drop?

[rain echo]

So the exotics can drop from landmarks ans enemies both non named and named?

Oh speaking of which have they removed expertise from non invaded DZs?

I heard they were toying with that idea

[storm river]

Pretty sure theyre only part of the 0.0036 elite enemy pool

[storm river]

Regulus, the revolver, is locked behind a project which in turn is locked behind the Iron Horse raid

Ravenous and Eagle bearer have a 1% dropchance from raid bosses and 10% from the end of raid crate in the IH and DH raids respectively

[rain echo]

I say that 10% is a lie

[carmine flicker]

How you getting that number? The BASE exotic drop rate in the dark zone is around 0.076%. That number must be taking into account all the exotics that can drop in the dark zone and the the base drop rate

[storm river]

Idk the exact number, but a recent ish update gave exotics a VERY slim chance of dropping from any elite enemy in the game, instead of exclusively dropping from named enemies

[carmine flicker]

They can drop from any enemy even reds

[foggy needle]

From devs https://images-ext-2.discordapp.net/external/Nt8XoKUTpSF2wHNJZPzcGUXhpcJh645GWauDL86lzx0/https/trello.com/1/cards/631b5c9552375f02096f96b7/attachments/631b710863be410419d2e2e5/download/Exotic_Drop_Rate.png

[carmine flicker]

Ah well I was off by 0.004% with the base drop rate but yeah what I said still applies

[foggy needle]

Also they confirmed that the raid exo drop rate in DZ will be rarer then normal

[storm river]

This needs pin pls

[wide forum]

Wont let me send up flare after clearing Washington monument

[fresh vault]

What in DarkZone does NOT drop in Conflict Caches?

[foggy needle]

The raid exos and big horn, everything else does

[glacial sorrel]

anyone else having trouble buying credits rn? says its redirecting me to steam but doesn't

[civic dagger]

If I'm just farming the same floor 90 on summit do directives effect drops/xp at all since I wont be completing the floor

[versed pumice]

Drops yea xp no since u get it after u clear the floor?

[jade summit]

Is it just me or does the Summit have some kind of delay to it? It's plays like it's lagging but I have 60 ping.

[fathom spruce]

I literally just went to some mission to test something and it seemed like everything was delayed by quite some time, with 15 ping
server also initially put me on wrong region when going to certain places/missions, thinking that another region is better ping wise, so probably something on server's side?

but DC map (excluding off-site places) wasn't affected

[copper zodiac]

curious bout the diamondback

is this only usable in headshot builds?

[versed pumice]

Nah

Mostly for crit builds

[copper zodiac]

don't seem to work with striker

[versed pumice]

Try nego

Or unbra or high end

[kindred pine]

Wow so countdown not really worth it on exotic drops

[lethal mulch]

Guys anyone got problem with crafting regulus?

[kindred pine]

Yep don't have the blue print or the materials

[versed pumice]

Yep better off farming floor 80-100

[kindred pine]

never done summit can you start on specific floors?

[versed pumice]

Nah

[opal path]

whats the best way to get yaahl gear? ( i know its from dz )

[versed pumice]

Can match make tho n grab someone else’s cp tho

[kindred pine]

cp?

[versed pumice]

Checkpoint

[kindred pine]

oh ok so you go through and then don't finish/die on purpose

[versed pumice]

Kinda ya

Or if u join a group that’s close to the next checkpoint like 90 just stay till u reach it n dip

[civic dagger]

anyone else experienced this bug?

[vestal bough]

anyone had same problem? i do have pistol required to it, but i cant craft it... even made a new agent to craft it on level 30 if that was the case but it wont help

[versed pumice]

D50 is for liberty

The magnum is for the regulus

Dunno why it’s not allowing u tho seeing how u have 3

Try just farming one

[carmine flicker]

One of those is farmed

[versed pumice]

Interesting

[carmine flicker]

Only 2 are replicas

[versed pumice]

Guess it’s bugged

[oak talon]

out of curiousity, was this a new drop one, or one you had in your stash/inv already?

as this kinda bug has happened before with the closer named chest losing a stat a while back, likely the same issue, atleast that one is a less used piece

[civic dagger]

it was a part of one of my loadouts already

[oak talon]

ok, then they messed them all up likely, these usually take a few weeks to get a fix with the next minor patch, so likely will stay broken for a few weeks

[ionic helm]

i just booted d2 after months of not playing on PC, i got a screen that said start campaign or skip to warlord of NY, regardless i still had my characters, but the screen for WoNY says:

"You won't be able to access this char on platforms you don't own Warlords expansion"

i thought there was no cross save?

[vestal bough]

yes same thing

[vestal bough]

theres no cross save as far as i know

[ionic helm]

yeah thats what i thought, its a shame because i have the game on PS5 but don't play because i don't want to do everything again, my char on PC says shd 535 but i haven't played in quite some time, the PS5 one is like at the very start lol

[oak talon]

that was always there in reference to if you used ubi+ or stadia, and then either let it lapse or moved over from stadia to pc, then you would need to rebuy wony to have acces to those chars

no cross save functionality at all anymore with stadia gone now aswell, just to confirm that

[ionic helm]

well if they did stadia cross save why don't they do it for other consoles? one of the things i like about AC Valhalla is cross save, after all we still gotta buy the game on all platforms and the expansion if we want to play there, but like this we can't

yeah i know, stadia is gone

thats a lot of exotics including some that were annoying to get, the masks secret stuff and some apparel from season pass i can't access on ps5, ah well maybe someday we get cross save

[oak talon]

stadia was added lot later, and also crossplay/save is never really a technical issue, its more that it gets locked out by the console makers contracts, as they really dont like it, on pc to stadia there wasnt that financial issue

[copper zodiac]

Can u get Sacrum & Ninjabike BP outside of Battle pass?

[oak talon]

but luckily that is now starting to change to be more open, due to people requesting it more and more, so they are letting atleast cross play happen more often, and cross save isnt that hard for bigger publishers to force trough

[oak talon]

both will need you to get them once from the season reward track first, before they will drop from targeted loot

[ionic helm]

well here's hope division 2 will someday get cross save, everytime i see news about the game i check for cross save, like i did in recent patch notes but nothing there, just the in-game message i posted above confused me, thanks for the help!

[wraith flare]

its likely to never happen

[ionic helm]

yeah i know, that is possible, especially given how long the game has been out, but who knows

[candid cipher]

how do you do the faye lau farm?

[narrow kraken]

@thorn hedge

[wraith flare]

on the s11 reveal stream they said its around the heroic openworld chance (0.024%)

[narrow kraken]

Ok

[tall arrow]

Ugh. Think this glitched after the update. Idk how to fix it

[thorn hedge]

have you tried relogging

[tall arrow]

Yes

[narrow kraken]

I think its visuals

shouldnt affect the stats

[tall arrow]

It affected my armpit level for sure

Armor

Drops 158k when I put it on.

[thin violet]

Under progress kenly college i have 3/4 and have the exo, what im missing ?

[heady stirrup]

Can someone explain why the Coney Island Ballpark mission is blue? I haven't touched it at all recently

[thorn hedge]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[oak talon]

completely unplayable, i want a refund on the free patch:

[foggy needle]

Hahah

[delicate cliff]

Would be hilarious if the skin wouldn't work on the gun because of this

[river dove]

is there a bug with the broken armor directive?

my armor kit never removes the broken stacks

[oak talon]

fragile armor bugs out from time to time, easiest resolve is to fasttravel to another map and back, or turn it off and on again, its annoying and a bad choice to have been set as the open world directive for this season with it still not fixed

[river dove]

yeah that blows. thanks for the tip tho

[oak talon]

welp, this was a bad choice, but one i dont regret....... i think, maybe, perhaps.
also its still 20 exo comps to go from grade 20 to 21, and 20 exo comps from 21 to 22 aswell

[foggy needle]

Ouch

[wary spoke]

After update, how is Shrapnel doing PvP-wise?

[subtle kelp]

Part of main mission

[icy finch]

can u get everyday carrier in the summit?

[foggy needle]

Yes it's a normal world drop

[sand rivet]

Not sure if this is a known bug but is the reviver hive currently broken (or has been?) cause I was running some summit earlier and the revive hive just does not work. It only deploys two (charges? the flying things) then destroys itself.

[lunar osprey]

It fixed and properly it die forever since 2 time nerfing pvp damage

[supple swift]

caused by server overload due to u know what

[sand rivet]

Ohh, okay thanks

[proper coral]

Reached level 30 woop woop now I just finish the last strong hold and head to dlc? Anything I should be completing before then?

[foggy needle]

You haven't completed story until you reach world tier 5 fyi. So if you care about the story finish it 1st, otherwise head straight to NYC

[proper coral]

Ooo so the world tier is based of what exactly? Side story progression and base upgrades?

[sudden snow]

there is no guarantee non-contaminated loot anymore? been trying to farm Fenris in South but all Fenris drops I got are contaminated

[opal star]

Anyone play div 1?

[foggy needle]

This patch made all drops in DZ back to being contaminated

[foggy needle]

World tiers are main story progress

[proper coral]

Not sure what this means. Is there more main story before NYC? Or in this sense after stronghold unlock. The last one from what I can tell idk.

[foggy needle]

It means world tiers are a continuation of the main story. (Ie you are not done)

[proper coral]

Hm Ohk

Not sure where to go from that tho

[oak talon]

the world tiers 1 to 5 are after you reach lvl 30, and they are reworked missions against a new factions, so worth it to go trough it once if you like going trough the story, its also shorter than what you have already completed, its only 6 missions and 4 stronghold to go from wt1-wt5, and after you can go wony

also if you want the full progression path as it was released, its pinned in this channel, if you want to do it in the order it was released

[foggy needle]

Pinned this channel has story order info as well

[proper coral]

I see now ty

[hallow plume]

wat is this guy?

[odd shell]

The loot goblin.

[hallow plume]

oh no more santa?

[odd shell]

He wears hat during christmas and that's it

[glacial sorrel]

anyone know what the quickest way to get polycarbonate/steel is?

[whole edge]

What's the best way to get like 100k credits?

[subtle kelp]

Loot goblin

[subtle kelp]

Do countdown, grab all the stuff as junk, sell it = 20k

[whole edge]

Any other faster way?

[odd condor]

Assuming a mostly optimized player build, the net time for completing a Heroic public execution + bounty is a fair bit shorter than Countdown

plus it's completing the bounty itself that gives the credit payout, but you can sell the loot if you want

[deft burrow]

Does expertise level work in conflict or non-invaded dz?

[odd condor]

It works, the removal of it is still being investigated

[deft burrow]

Thank you.

[little dagger]

Experiencing a lot of game crashes today. I’ve been trying to do the manhunt bounty (Chunks)? but always crash before the end. Curious if anyone else is having the same issue on PS5? Thanks

[subtle kelp]

Nope

[subtle kelp]

I have question

Is it ok that I grab Nemenis BP first then grab my last part of nemenis later?

[dapper obsidian]

Are there still ppl in here that play division 1 looking for a few ppl that do for end game and dz and dlc Xbox

[rough chasm]

You can't get the BP drop if you don't have the four parts

[storm river]

You need 2 parts for the blueprint to become available, so doing tidal for adrestia and DUA invaded, then replaying GWH will get you the blueprint

[plush bear]

can i get EB from countdown? or is now from dz only?

[vocal fiber]

no and no

[subtle kelp]

Only DUA is my last part...

But im scare if I did GWH, the invaded in there will be gone

[nimble spruce]

You can toggle between invaded and non invaded using the 'toggle mission mode' button in the mission options.

[subtle kelp]

Oh

I was so scare that I have to wait again

[nimble spruce]

But if you already have 2 parts or more you should get the blueprint regardless

[subtle kelp]

I only have 2 parts

I need to do DUA to get last part

[storm river]

There are 4 parts though?

Dua, roosevelt, capitol and tidal

• blueprint

[subtle kelp]

I thought only 3

Oh that's 4

Well crap..guess have to wait another week

[storm river]

Unless its tidal youre missing, since thats the only missable one if you do the strongholds

[subtle kelp]

I got scope and bolt

[vocal fiber]

so you need
Invaded Capitol
Invaded DUA
or spam Invaded Manning
THEN
you need Invaded GWH

[subtle kelp]

AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

[nimble spruce]

It's fine, you can replay GWH as many times as you want this week by using toggle mission mode.

[subtle kelp]

I still need 1 part...

I had scope, bolt and stock..

Game unfair!! DX

[nimble spruce]

Yeah but if you look you'll see some people are telling you that you only need 2 pieces in order for the blueprint to drop, you might as well check if they're right before panicking

[subtle kelp]

I thought was 3 parts

[nimble spruce]

Just go run the bloody mission and see what happens

Everyone is saying different things so the only option is to test it yourself. What have you got to lose?

[subtle kelp]

Yeeep

I need a barrel..

sad life 🙂

[restive hearth]

f

[storm river]

Capitol then

[subtle kelp]

Hope next week is Capital

[oak talon]

do bounties, they give 10-15k per depending on difficulty, will be allot better per hour in terms of credits

[oak talon]

manning will also give a random part you dont have yet, so in your case manning or capitol will both work

[subtle kelp]

I will try, hope it drop me cuz it require invaded

I wondering if they have different invasion as well or all same

[storm river]

Wdym

The invaded strongholds follow a cycle

[subtle kelp]

. . .

Wait..next week will be Capital!!

[inland moat]

But potomac is always invaded because of the black tusk SH

[storm river]

Should be capitol next week ye

[oak talon]

they dont since invaded manning got introduces, there isnt a pattern there that repeats, that also why you dont have a list of upcoming invasion out in advance

[storm river]

As long as s11 didnt mess anything up

[hollow spoke]

So uh I’m going on a trip to the capital in April for a school program should I grab a camera try and record certain places? Ik the division 2 is somewhat of a one to one scale

[oak talon]

its to full one to one scale, the gps data of ingame even matches real life, only some liberties taken with lesser buildings not being fully modelled to match, but all the major landmarks are 1 to 1 recreations for asmuch as parts are visible/enterable

so can be a fun side by side, there have been a few reddit posts in the past aswell that did this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/comments/cb2kyr/washington_dc_the_division_2_vs_reality/
and it always cool to see, so definitely go for it and share your pics, would be cool to see what has changed since all those posts are mostly somewhat older

[hollow spoke]

Oooo nice thanks I’ll def post when I go!

[subtle kelp]

Lol, it become red chest

[narrow kraken]

Anyone playing on ps4

I wanna join someone

[subtle kelp]

I think you should lfg-ps down there

[narrow kraken]

Ah okey

[lost barn]

Does some of you gys know a clan called royall hunters, im not Shure if they have Discord, and i wonder if its a bit suspicious clan?

[fresh vault]

Welp, we're doomed. AI has already outsmarted the devs at Massive.

[sacred edge]

Is there somewhere you can see the name and a picture of all the guns?

[wraith flare]

the spreadsheet / imfdb

[sacred edge]

imfdb?

[wraith flare]

internet movie firearm database don't know of another place that has a picture of all the guns in the game

[sacred edge]

I don't think the spreadsheet has pictures of the weapons?

[foggy needle]

it doesnt

[wraith flare]

it has the names though

[sacred edge]

Whats the name of this weapon?

[foggy needle]

thats a TKB-408 AR, might be the named version King breaker though.

[narrow matrix]

Resource convoys / control points

(Resource convoys are faster) - the rewards for completing the activity give between 18-25 of a resource. You can get about the same if not more from CPs with the material loot crates found in the supply room and around the CP but the cp takes more time

CP will also give resources as part of its rewards and so will other activities

[crude falcon]

my revive hive only tick 2 time (usually 4), there is no EMP or disrupted, is it ..... bug ?

[foggy needle]

Any one have doc home that can post a screen shot of the talent wording please. going to update spreadsheet

[deft burrow]

Hi. What are these numbers on gears / weapons?

[foggy needle]

@wraith flare thanks

[wraith flare]

thats the amount of that group of items in your inventory

so 20 primaries & 15 gloves for example

[deft burrow]

I see. Thank you very much.

[bold fulcrum]

what's a good way to farm xp solo?

[storm river]

Resource convoys

[bold fulcrum]

it tells you how many item's you got in you're inventory

[bold fulcrum]

alright then

[viscid dagger]

Not to mention if you get lucky you'll get an exotic from it 😅

[narrow matrix]

Lol true

I take it that kill xp doesn’t scale with directives for proficiency?

[viscid dagger]

Don't think directives affect kill xp

Just the amount of xp at the end of an activity

[narrow matrix]

Hmm. I was getting like 4000 kill xp with fog of war turned on last night (but I’m not sure if it went towards proficiency) though I was noticeably getting more proficient in open world than in countdown

Fog of war + special ammo

[viscid dagger]

I saw somewhere that directives didn't affect kill xp
But I might be wrong
Someone more knowledgeable can correct me

[crude falcon]

does this one apply to player or only apply to group members ?

[foggy needle]

those Tactical links ONLY apply to your group, not to yourself.

[sudden snow]

is this build good for general pvp?

[umbral dagger]

It’s fine, swap badger tuff for fenris since your damage is gonna come from your AR. Acs-12 isn’t good damage for PvP. Only really used for stack based builds

Oh sorry you got a fenris backpack, swap your gloves to contractors and then use Groupo for chest

[sudden snow]

Thanks man

[stoic bear]

Well it’s official the ninja back pack is not giving the first headset bonuses

Brand set **

[narrow matrix]

I’ve seen it said that if u run contractors + fox prayers with picaros it can hurt you bc it takes up your Chc and chd

Better to slot in coyotes mask and put ceska chest

[vocal fiber]

why would anyone think its standalone

[lime night]

Best way to get 12% CHD mods? For mask,chest etc where?

[vocal fiber]

group heroic cd?
loot quantitity is the way to go

[dim crag]

Obviously lmao

How is it gonna give the first one haha

[vocal fiber]

but i guess im glad the devs just didnt code to sth like
+1 to brandset count

[crude falcon]

anyone got the revive hive acting strangely ? My hive keep destroying after 2 tick (out of 4 ticks) without taking any dmg/emp

[odd condor]

you mean it self destructs upon reviving you even with 2 charges, or does it blink out of existence while on your back?

[crude falcon]

the later

i was down --> it deployed --> tick twice and gone, reduce to atom --> me ded

[lunar osprey]

if your hive revive yourself, whatever how many tick you have, it go zero

if revive your team, it only -1

[crude falcon]

yeah i know this one, but the problem is it was destroyed during the ticking process, it isn't even finish revive me and it already gone

ah man i should save the replay

[echo osprey]

Hey guys, 3 of us just started on pc. Is it worth us joining a clan? Do we get more rewards etc?

[woeful ore]

endless loadings... place in line... wtf? showed up in safe area and then again loading, place in line.

[crude falcon]

how i can add this armor to transmorph item list? I tried to equip it, modded it but i still unable to transmorph it to other armor

[inland moat]

whats the name of it?

[inland moat]

It might be one of the pieces that doesn't have an appearance mod

Not all pieces do

[crude falcon]

oh okay, thanks for the confirmation

hope one day they add more item can be transmorphed

including Exotic too

[viscid dagger]

Yea I would not count on them allowing exotic appearances to be transmogged

[crude falcon]

well it 2:35 am here so i can dream a little bit

[inland moat]

thats not an exotic though

its a standard chestpiece

[viscid dagger]

The message was related to him saying
Including exotics too

[inland moat]

but its appearance mod for other chest pieces isnt in the catalogue

[fresh vault]

What happened to the named boss south of the White House? He used to show up guaranteed every 30m, always was like this, now he's not there ever.

[latent spade]

anyone else having bad lag ingame n everything comes with a delay?

[river dove]

yeah i'll have random bad lag for a minute here and there where enemies are teleporting around and not dying

servers prob getting hammered

[icy finch]

if u really want to use a shotgun in pvp use the m870

u can 2 tap ppl if u run 1.3 million armor

[narrow matrix]

run cuelebre more specifically so u can get faster reloads

also shotguns in pvp is kinda weird id say cause of shields

also fire rate

[icy finch]

why

[fresh vault]

Severe. Even when looting boxes.

Also been having a huge bug where sometimes my revive hive just doesn't finish rezzing me and dies

When no one's targetting it

[river dove]

we just constantly get the bug with broken armor directive

where it won't take away the broken stacks

[narrow matrix]

if ur gonna run it its best to run a healer

does it affect unbreakable tho 👀

[viscid dagger]

That directive has been broken for 2 plus years now lol

[river dove]

yeah i noticed it in the summit a few months ago when i started playing

but i figured if they were going to use it on the world map maybe they fixed it, but no lol

[fresh vault]

WELP. Lag is unbearable and just turned into actual crashes now.

[viscid dagger]

Yea well either they somehow don't know its broken
Or it's not a high priority to fix

[river dove]

i hadn't crashed in about 3 weeks until yesterday

so it's prob just server load

seems like when the servers get bogged down the game just shits itself

[storm river]

ffs

[narrow pelican]

i've seen 3 pestilences and none of the new former raid exotics yet
no one I know has gotten the rifles either

[foggy needle]

the drop rate on the Exotics + big horn is lower then normal exo drop rate FYI (in DZ) you best way to get it is still Raids/ legendary

[storm river]

nah i just get exclusively pests

literally nothing else but pestilence

[vagrant pollen]

what’s the best way to farm memento

[foggy needle]

same as any item, farm target loot (best is summit/ countdown

[narrow matrix]

Summit is better I’d say since u got directives and can floor farm

[foggy needle]

they are about the same tbh. Summit requires boss farm, and countdown is just do it on challenging.

[oak talon]

almost asif pestilence has a pretty high drop chance of 1% from any named enemy in the dz......

[storm river]

did claws out always have pistol dmg???

[foggy needle]

yes

[safe arrow]

Does challenging countdown drop same as heroic?

[foggy needle]

near the same but its also WAY easier then heroic count down

[narrow kraken]

Is this worth it?

It’s a 10$ save

And I mean $10 is $10

[light igloo]

What is the most efficient way to farm The Summit? Should I just do as many floors as I can?

[rain echo]

So far I've been in the dz alot since yesterday and have found 1 ravenous

I keep getting ganged on by 2 groups

[narrow kraken]

Everyone has been in the DZ

For the exotic drops so it’s expected for people to get ganged up on

[rain echo]

Well they took expertise out of the non invaded DZs to make it a fair chance

[narrow kraken]

Huh 🤔

[rain echo]

Yea they took it out of the non invaded dzs

[narrow kraken]

That’s interesting

[rain echo]

Let the builds do the talking ig

I haven't been in the invaded dz but I imagine its q warzone I avoid the invaded cause I know I'm not making it to extraction

[hallow raptor]

Floor 90 rinse and repeat farm is best imo. Or floor 10 legendary rinse and repeat farm. Two different strategies though.

[hexed kindle]

I'm looking at the workbenches and there are items saying side quest reward, but I've completed the side quests. Any way to access them again?

[granite summit]

If ninja counted for 2 pieces instead of one piece in a set, it would make infinite amounts of powerful build combinations (pve ONLY). Current state it’s obsolete. For every build

[whole edge]

If I do the manhunt missions on normal would I be missing out on anything to while I was heroic

[light igloo]

Thanks

[latent spade]

What would be good place to farm sawyers kneepad

[hallow raptor]

Knee pad targeted loot

[copper zodiac]

can I ask as to why the Dread Edict copy & pasted the same attachments as my Assault rifle when it should be its own?

[narrow matrix]

What do u mean

It doesn’t show the scope on the gun (actual design)

Do the attachments override the exotic ones?

[copper zodiac]

in apperal, yes
no for stats

[narrow matrix]

Yea I see it has a c79 scope now

It’s scope is a different scope than anything else in the game

Probs just a visual glitch

So as per the patch notes can you not expertise specialization weapons?

[hallow plume]

how do i kill this guy

nvm got it

[solar raven]

y'all get pestilence?

Also what is the SHD points level necessary until I fully max everything?

[ionic orbit]

you need to get 1000 to max out all bonus stat from the watch

[narrow matrix]

Explained what u need in #td2-general-chat

[hallow plume]

i got it

also how do u set directive for CD

[lime night]

Best way to farm just steel?

[hallow plume]

CD pick any weapon as target loot then deconstruct them after
or open true son lockbox u can get like 100 steel

[lime night]

thank you!

[tawny mica]

Anyone else running into these invisible cheaters lately? Seems to be happening more and more in Conflict

You can see me stop right at the start because I heard a player next to me. Figured it was a glitch. Nope

[lunar osprey]

It is not cheat, its glitch

[tawny mica]

Turning invisible isn’t cheating? 😂

[lunar osprey]

Because everyone can do that invisible without any software

You can invisible too if you using that glitch

[tawny mica]

I’m not a bot so I don’t need to cheat. I guess that’s the difference

[lunar osprey]

There 5 map in conflict, as i know 2 of them can do this invisible glitch

[tawny mica]

I’ve ran into it on that map (Georgetown) and the low spawn on Wharf.

[lunar osprey]

cheat = need other software
glitch = bug on game coding
I am not encourage you using any glitch but you have to know it clearly

[tawny mica]

Both are cheating since you have an unfair advantage. So software or not it’s cheating.

Done by accident? Not cheating. On purpose 100%

We had to put adrenaline rush on to find that guy and kill him. Then reported even though I’m sure it’ll go nowhere

[lunar osprey]

So, you reported a wrong guy

[tawny mica]

What?

[lunar osprey]

If player use that glitch, he is invisible until match end, or he leave match and join again, no way to disable

[hallow plume]

wait that invisible?

i thought the dude was shooting thru wall

[lunar osprey]

So if you find "him", that is a different person

[tawny mica]

Yeah he was invisible

[tawny mica]

It’s not hard to figure out the last person alive in Conflict 😂

[lunar osprey]

Not able dealing damage with shoot, only dealing damage by skill

[tawny mica]

Wrong. He’s also hitting me with a shield

It’s a bonk build from what I can tell

[lunar osprey]

Should i say it clearly? If person A use this invisible glitch, you are unable to see him, and he also unable become visible again, if you "find" people, that is person B

[hallow plume]

this is why i dn't pvp

already seen enough cheaters in CD

[tawny mica]

You did not read what I wrote. You’re too busy defending cheaters. I said we had to put adrenaline rush on to find him. Do you know what that does?

@lunar osprey

[lunar osprey]

You are the true one didn't get what i mean

[tawny mica]

His name is in the kill feed after death. We used adrenaline rush to find and kill him. It’s very obvious who it was at that point. Understand now?

[lunar osprey]

There are no way to disable the invisible, then how you "find" him, understand?

[tawny mica]

I just explained it

[lunar osprey]

Unless, he leave the match and join again
Or you find a wrong guy with different ID

[tawny mica]

Last time. When you kill somebody in Conflict their name pops in the kill feed. He was the last one alive on his team. We killed him. And thus found out EXACTLY who it was. I don’t know how else to explain it to you.

[lunar osprey]

🥱

[zenith isle]

whaaa the best way to lvl up this season

[supple swift]

just check LFG channel and you'll get your first clue

[zenith isle]

tyty

[graceful imp]

I've reached level 40
Should I start building or wait till I get SHD level?

[lime fossil]

Can you get banned for doing the Faye Lau xp farm?

[narrow matrix]

Eh it’s in the game but some people are saying it requires an exploit and this one isn’t as widespread as the other ones (publicly discussed) either because it violates discord terms of service therefore violating the server rules (discussing exploits) or people think by keeping it quiet the devs won’t eventually nerf it

U want certainty, don’t do it

[dawn tide]

is it just me or is getting a honey badger to drop non existent

[narrow matrix]

It’s one of the rarer assault rifles

[dawn tide]

gosh darn it

[severe burrow]

Questions about gear mods: how do you decide which to keep and which to deconstruct? Do they change with loadouts so you only need the 3 best of each type (CHC, CHD, PfE, etc)?

[mellow trout]

Just got my first lady death, looks pretty fun. What kinda build should I be runnin

[supple swift]

you only need to keep 3, unless ypu plan on using improvised piece and/or protection from elites mods

[severe burrow]

What's different with PfE mods?

[supple swift]

PFE builds are best done with as much PFE as you can to hit the cap, so usually 6 or 7 pieces on the build

[severe burrow]

I see! Thank you for the info 😄

[somber mirage]

am i stupid or is the find wally mission thing not working

[fallow inlet]

Hey Doom

[granite wing]

any1 else has problems getting the game started up?

[fallow inlet]

Been acting wierd all day

[granite wing]

ah okay so its not just me XD

thankyou

[fallow inlet]

Had to verify and things were missing

[granite wing]

my ubisoft and game launcher are not opening so i cant verify anythingXD

[fallow inlet]

Did you try opening it in administrator

[granite wing]

hmm no that might do the trick

[fallow inlet]

I do it that way all the time

[granite wing]

nope not working either XD

[fallow inlet]

Ok give it an hour might be mantinance

[granite wing]

Okay I will gotta work anyway soon. thanks for the help 😄

[fallow inlet]

Have you tried whitedeatj and hotshot yet

[granite wing]

What do you mean?

[fallow inlet]

The gearset hotshot plus white death rifle

[granite wing]

Nah , I started playing yesterday actually

[fallow inlet]

Lol kool new season just started

[granite wing]

Yeah I have a ton to learn, but i like it

[fallow inlet]

Hit lvl 40 Starr season would suggest getting the season pass its 10.00

It unlocks the lower half of the season rewards track

[granite wing]

Oh yeah once i hit 40 I will get it for sure

Probally will reach that tomorrow or so im 33 now i believe

[fallow inlet]

Nice did you jump or from 1

[granite wing]

Boosted

Thought lvl 1 tot 30 cant be to exciting🤣

[fallow inlet]

Ok start another character at 1 your going to loose stuff

[granite wing]

Really like what?😅

[storm river]

Except the entire main story

[fallow inlet]

Certain missions locations of shd cases

And some other stuff

[granite wing]

Honestly i didnt know

Geus i will do that then for sure

[storm river]

Shd caches still remain

It just marks all the missions as completed

[fallow inlet]

It's kool finish your first all the way out then go back and start again

[granite wing]

I got a lvl 5 or 6 aswell might aswell continue on that then

[fallow inlet]

That would work

Just remember to buy the share resources from the girl at the workbench in the whitehouse

[granite wing]

Okay

[fallow inlet]

And then you can use resources in both characters

Back and forth

[granite wing]

Ah okay makes sense

[somber plinth]

Does xur still do the weekly exotic cipher that you can get for doing activities?

[inland spade]

Cheers guys I got the expansion 😂😂

[subtle kelp]

Noiceee

[somber plinth]

Jesus I asked in the questions channel for the wrong game

Didn’t even see srry

[graceful imp]

Have gotten keener's watch and in SHD 1 rn

What should I do? What builds to build and tips to get season XP?

[inland spade]

Sorry if this is the wrong spot to ask but is anyone possibly keen to run me through New York ? I’m partially done just wanna get to summits and ect

[inland spade]

Keen to run somthing ?

[subtle kelp]

I'm PC player sadly

[ionic helm]

since there is no cross save how long would it take me to get this on the ps5 which is what i have on pc? coyote mask took a while because i wasn't easy to find people to do it on pc back then

sry lighting of screenshot it was converted from hdr :d

[golden geode]

Shd level

[inland spade]

How do you have so much amour but literally all dps 😭

Insane

[carmine flicker]

I’m assuming you aren’t level 40 yet

And that isn’t a lot of armor

You can get up to 2 million base but it’ll be destroyed quickly

[golden geode]

@inland spade did you find any one

[inland spade]

Nah man I’m on ps5

Nah not yet only got the expansion today cause was wondering why I couldn’t do summit and why all my friends hear was too high for me to use

[golden geode]

how come on here it only shows one platform i con next to a persons name

[ionic helm]

sorry dude i haven't played in a long time but i'm almost certain that was meta glass cannon back then :p

[inland spade]

Nah you’re algood man no stress ! Am only just not figuring out there’s all new gear sets in the expansion so can finally basically start all over again and build one up I’ll showcase the results when I get there

[ionic helm]

those kind of rifles i have in main hand was also meta weapon (not nemesis exotic) type back then and i farmed those quite a lot, even today they still shred but i only play like 30 minutes so far yesterday lol

i don't even remember which season it was when i've stopped playing

the expansion is on sale for the ps5 hence why i wanted to know if anyone would have an idea how long would it take to get the equivalent on the ps5 of what i have shown above

ok i think i've stopped playing in 2020 because of the hollywood shades backpack trophy i have, so is been quite some time lol, guess i'll just get the expansion on ps5 and see how it goes

[inland spade]

If you get the expansion on ps5 atm there’s a level 30 booster

So that you only have to complete New York to get level 40

@ionic helm

So I assume it wouldn’t take long if you huddled and grind I’ve only got 3 days played in total and have only just got the expansion so less than that I’d imagine depending on exotics ect

[granite wing]

Somehow I cant play, I cant open the game, and i cant uninstall it either because it says ''the game is opened''

restarting didnt work to

[nimble stone]

So apparently it's one of the pieces for the Chatterbox?

[thin atlas]

aside from the Exotics SMG, what is the best SMG in High-End?

[narrow matrix]

Mpx, banshee, mp5

||vector||

[nimble stone]

vector .45 is so good

[subtle kelp]

Till you get dark winter

[nimble stone]

SMG-9 is so cute tbh im using that just for leveling expertise

[lime night]

Just got it yesterday was so happy after 30 days of countdown and opening countless named caches

[subtle kelp]

I got from named caches as well

[nimble stone]

i heard a lot about this, whats better than the base vector 45?

[lime night]

Also weapon dmg was 9.1% and i re rolled to targets out of cover it was a hefty smack on my materials

[nimble stone]

what are these exactly?

[light igloo]

Is it possible to discover new talent through crafting?

[jolly cobalt]

Is there any way to change gamepad buttons to duelshock instead of xbox?

[worn spoke]

ds4windows?

[wraith flare]

I think the game should detect if you're using a ps4 controller

& are you running it through steam

[jolly cobalt]

Looks like it worked when I opened DS4, normally other games detect themselves. Thank you 🙂

[nimble spruce]

Yes, if you craft something with a talent you have had before you can then extract it to your library

[subtle kelp]

Yes

[light igloo]

Thanks

[wraith flare]

yea thats weird cus going between xbox, ps4 & k&m it auto detects for me

[ionic helm]

ps5 or pc? try to verify game files if on pc with the launcher

[storm river]

Project exclusive to pass owners

[granite wing]

i got it to work, it was a windows update...

but thank you:)

[nova flower]

So, is Catharsis able to drop in CD or Summit? never got it so prob not in my loot pool.

[foggy needle]

both

FYI, All exotics are in the normal target loot pool except:
---Raid exotics and Big horn best place by far is from their content
---Current season exotics, just require being unlocked viva season track 1st.
---Past season exotics are automatically added to general loot pool after their season.
---Crafted exotics require owning the blueprint 1st to unlock for target loot.
---Exotic caches can drop any exotic that is currently unlocked for your target loot pool.

[nova flower]

thx. just looking for reassurance lol, 100's of floors and ex crates from CD...back to the farm i guess!

[foggy needle]

RNG is RNG, it both giveth and taketh

[nova flower]

oh...so caches wont give it until i get the drop. gotcha

[foggy needle]

no, it already in the cache

[nova flower]

---Exotic caches can drop any exotic that is currently unlocked for your target loot pool. **unlocked by the game or by me getting the drop? reads like i would have to have it first, but the wake n bake got me foggy loool

[foggy needle]

both

"---Past season exotics are automatically added to general loot pool after their season."

like crafted exotics are unlocked once you own the blue print. vs past season exo are the note above

[sacred edge]

Why doesn't the spreadsheet show base accuracy and stability values?

[inner tendon]

Accuracy is how much a reticule blooms, Stability is how much vertical kick.
An exact value isn't all that useful.

[sacred edge]

For comparisons it kind of is

[fathom spruce]

Maybe hard to get exact value, or no one bothered

[nimble spruce]

Would require some specialized data mining to get those values in numerical form, I'm not sure I'd trust the visual bars on the weapon description to act as reliable absolutes across weapons

[fathom spruce]

I can also imagine that it's not all that accurate (heh) because there are weapons that for example have a high/higher stability stat, but their recoil is considered "worse" by many, because it's inconsistent

like Famas has a maybe more mediocre recoil in how much it kicks, but it's also one of the (if not the) most consistent ones meaning for humans it's super easy to compensate for with one consistent motion every time, helpful for muscle memory

[sacred edge]

Has anyone documented spray patterns?

[fathom spruce]

and then the longer range ACR-type ARs look like they have pretty good/high handling stats, but their recoil for example is a bit RNG where it bounces left to right to left to right and whatnot, making them harder to actually be accurate with unless boosted more with more handling

[fathom spruce]

I've been into looking up and reading about most things in the game a lot and haven't come across one actually, no

just people anecdotally referring to "some tests" or their own tests where you say try to compare two weapons at the range by shooting it into the wall next to you without any mouse movement input other than hold LMB

I'd be interested if someone has like a whole test document too, though I still argue it's tricky because 1) could get outdated with updates to weapons so not sure if someone would bother and 2) you get many different weapon handling buffs potentially, and stats being quite dynamic sometimes, which all change how well a weapon will be handled
So our "documentation" is just things like most people agreeing that say an M4/Carbine 7 AR handles really well (both accurate and stable/easy to control recoil)

[foggy needle]

lets be honest the last update to weapons was ~2 years ago in TU 10 🤣

[inner tendon]

If you use a weapon within its optimal range (and within the parameters of a build), then there's honestly very little variation in the whole thing.

[fathom spruce]

Oh fair, I had honestly no idea how often those were done and in numbers sometimes like TU 10 seemed fairly close but then I realise they're not seasons lmao

[inner tendon]

There is no "best" gun in div2 for the most part, it's just all kinda useful. Which is really a good thing, means you get build variety.

[sacred edge]

so the best guns in each category in the faq section of the spreadsheet is bs?

[fathom spruce]

And yea I think what Rivens said too, usually variable/dyanmic stats + buffs + already opting to use weapons in their optimal range (to prevent much or any damage drop where even if you land your shots, you're just so far it won't do much damage) equalises a lot of things and a lot comes down to preference imo where some people have an easier time learning one recoil but others hate it

[narrow matrix]

vector @ azurmen

[fathom spruce]

they're kind of the more commonly taken ones or the ones more people agree on being "up there" but you can't 100% say they're best for everyone, that'd be dishonest, but you can also safely assume they're at least top tier usually, for majority of people
Ultimately best is to just try out all of them in my opinion and see what works for you, it's a looter shooter after all and you can get showered with loot, say one CD run with ARs as target and you get a wide selection to choose from already to test

[foggy needle]

@narrow matrix HOW DARE YOU

[narrow matrix]

its been said

[inner tendon]

As a proud co-president of the DW fanclub, ain't nothing wrong with a Vector.

[thorn hedge]

the only thing wrong with the vector is the new skin

[inner tendon]

"gems" exists, any other skin option is redundant.

[foggy needle]

the FAQ has some outdated info BUT also lots of still valid info, the weapons part was outdated, and I just updated that.

[fallow inlet]

Hey Rivens, Azurmen32 ,

[hollow spoke]

To get the tactical like optimization blueprint thing stuff for the diff factions can I just keep doing control points until I get it?

[fallow inlet]

Yup and bounties

[hollow spoke]

Mmm ok

Think I’m at like 150 or a bit lower so

Just gotta keep on the grind lol

Can you reset the checkpoints in NY?

[thorn hedge]

control points?

[hollow spoke]

Mhm

[inner tendon]

Whatever you call them: yes.

[hollow spoke]

Ok sorry if I’m asking a lot

Is their anyway I can be like briefed on the whole lore

Like I’ve played the game since it’s came out but only came back after the DLC and season 10

Like is the LMB a precursor to the black tusk or?

I’ve heard it’s an international group like how tf are they able to stretch thin

[inner tendon]

People are happy to answer any questions you may have about the lore over in #division-universe.

[hollow spoke]

Thanks!

Are Clans useful?

Other than players

[final flame]

Wondering the same, did the mission again and nothing seems different...

[hollow spoke]

Yea it said replay for me

Apparently I didn’t do the 2nd apparently as well

[worldly yew]

Hi what's the best way to farm the 2nd part of the Foundry Bulwark and Future Initiative projects ? Countdown ?

[foggy needle]

same as always farm target loot, best is countdown and summit

[worldly yew]

alright thanks

[fallow inlet]

@worldly yew if your going for proficentcies its about 4-5 times per item

[worldly yew]

nah just need the gear parts for the projects

[fallow inlet]

lol ok

[hollow spoke]

Is flatline good?

I’ve looked at that but don’t really know anything

[foggy needle]

best talent in the game if you use Tech laser otherwise its meh

[hollow spoke]

Wdym?

Skill build?

[foggy needle]

its for weapon builds

[hollow spoke]

Oh

Would it be good on a vector? Using a striker rush build

[foggy needle]

Well vectors aren't great but yes if you use the tech laser

[hollow spoke]

What’s the tech laser?

[hollow spoke]

Wdymmmm broooo

[foggy needle]

Tech laser= the technician specialization weapon mod

[worldly yew]

Hey guys do the items fro FI/FB for regulus need to be from the raid only?

[foggy needle]

nope can be world drops

[jade summit]

Are there any missions with Cleaner bosses in them?

[foggy needle]

yes in NYC

[jade summit]

Which one?

[foggy needle]

Stranded tanker.

[solar raven]

Capped out my my CHC with 3 Solokov, had to get rid of Claws out (Rip my 500% melee damage) but saw an increase of my CHD from 144.2% to 185.8%, 41.6% increase. Should be hitting from 317,000 with Perfect spark and that 25% increase CHD from Coyote, with 50% CHD from perfect killer to 356,000. Still trying to get a Solokov with good CHD, CHC and WD to put in Unstoppable force and finally all get that optimized.

would there be any other Talent than Unstoppable force otherwise that could increase passively my Damage?

[worthy plover]

uhhhh

companion or vigilance

i guess

[solar raven]

Could try and get obliterate on chest too.

just need a Grupo Sombra for the 1/3 piece attribute of 15% CHD

[worthy plover]

ye why the china light?

[solar raven]

Vigilance could be good, but why get it and keep rushing knowing I'll lose it constantly when Unstoppable could get the same job done with only 15 seconds until reset.

Companion is good too, but I just don't see a big increase, And drone is constantly away from me.

[solar raven]

Dunno, will try to get Wyvern for that 10% skill damage unless I can find another CHD attribute that isn't Grupo or Solokov. or maybe even more SMG damage.

[worthy plover]

why not

[solar raven]

So far, I'm quite glad... Will test it out to see if it outperforms my 317,000 past total damage.

I can easily kill Challenging enemies. Excited to see how it'll perform in Heroic.

Also need to get full CHD mods

[abstract meteor]

do you NEED a 60% in CHC?

[worthy plover]

my luck with chd mods is trash

[thorn hedge]

rushing in higher level missions is a really bad idea

[solar raven]

Hasn't stopped me!

[solar raven]

Basically.

[thorn hedge]

whats your idea of "higher level missions"

because im referring to legendaries

[wraith flare]

no 50+ is fine

[abstract meteor]

whats the nominal difference between a 53 and a 60 in CHC? Could that 6% drop in CHC be used for more CHD?

[thorn hedge]

what do you mean "nominal"

[solar raven]

Oh, yeah still need to have a full group, but I'm glad I managed to finish District, Capitol and Roosevelt with talented players. Still need to do Tidal and Manning.

Otherwise, I don't think I'm going for those anytime soon solo. Still need to cap my SHD watch first. ( Level 254 rn ) But Definition of Higher level missions for me has just lost it's meaning when I can easily kill Normal or hard, but I found it still interesting in Challenging. Sometimes I'm dying quick, but should be expected with no blues.

[wraith flare]

^ but yes that could go into chd

[cyan cape]

Where's the best place to farm for "Kingbreaker" assault rifle ?

[thorn hedge]

ideally id get into solo-ing challenging content for casual fun and heroic for regular missions

[wraith flare]

assualt rifle targeted loot in summit/countdown

[solar raven]

At this point, if it hadn't been capped at 60%, right now I'm at 72% I would assume, but I can't go any higher for my CHD because I can't put twice CHD increase on any gear. So I can still have higher CHD and could almost see no change if I had 53% because I keep getting CD, but yeah...

Best guess to increase? Optimize and get actually maxed out CHD mods. Also increase SHD levels.

[cyan cape]

Thanks ! 🙂

[tropic plover]

Technically there is 1 piece of gear you could put CHD on 3 times, the Chill Out mask. Recalibrate the attribute to CHD plus it has 2 slots for CHD chips

[solar raven]

Damn... Will try to see if I have it, but I doubt it.

[tropic plover]

Yeah it's a holiday only piece so if you don't then you just missed it.

[solar raven]

considering 12% is the max for a CHD attribute, I wonder if Chill out has more than that to outperform my Coyote exotic.

( Coyote has range based increases:

0-15m: 25% CHD
15-25m: 10% CHD and CHC
25+m: 25% CHC

Depending on last enemy hit )

[viscid dagger]

So last time I cared to upgrade my expertise in my armor pieces
I heard it was not worth it
I'm assuming it's still the case or has anything changed

[fathom spruce]

it's a very minimal upgrade as it's a small % increase on the base armour value of the piece

seems like a very last resort "I literally don't have anything else to spend stuff on anymore, why not" kind of upgrade

[viscid dagger]

Yea that's what I remember hearing about it

Thanks

[solar raven]

what would be the max expertise?

[versed pumice]

22

[foggy needle]

Chill out loses to Coyotes. differences only
chill out gains 1 extra mod slot (so +12 chd )
coyotes has +6chc and then the chc/chd from the buff on top of that.

[tropic plover]

So if you go point by point, yes, it's a small % upgrade

1% specially

So going from expertise 1 to 2 isn't a big change

However... It keeps going up. A 20% increase is a big change

[foggy needle]

Max expertise is 22 atm, and thats ~145k extra armor. complete trash.

[fathom spruce]

and that's just it, it doesn't scale with say a well armoured tanky blue core build, so imo the tankier the build the less value
you could maybe argue it has some tiny value to full red builds but it's just extremely costly for that still

[sacred edge]

so the expertise, optimize, and recalibration. Recal lets you swap out an attribute/talent, optimize lets you pump up attributes(?), what does expertise do?

[viscid dagger]

Increase specific attributes on gear /weapons

[fathom spruce]

it's like a super grandular endgame tiny expensive upgrade on top, individual to an item, in one specific way (say % WD for weapons)

[viscid dagger]

For weapons it's damage

For skills it varies depending on the skill

[sacred edge]

I thought optimize did that?

[narrow matrix]

How do u go full screen on pc 🫠

[fathom spruce]

no it's not related to attributes on it

expertise is a completely separate extra bonus that appears on the item basically

[viscid dagger]

I shouldn't have said attributes
Made it more confusing

[sacred edge]

Kind of like te watch?

[fathom spruce]

no, not at all, those are generic stats applying everywhere

[sacred edge]

yea, but I mean like that, but for that item

[fathom spruce]

it's similar to optimise with how it's on that one specific item, but it's just not related to an existing stat on it

and this is it for skills

just keep in mind it applies to the base value of the skill, same the tiers apply to, not an overall bonus on top, so the values are not as big as it'd seem

so if say an expertise adds more damage to a skill but a tier 6 of the skill is +220% damage then at expertise 20 if I understand it properly it's effectively 240% more damage, not 3.2 * 1.2 = 3.84x for 284% damage

[viscid dagger]

Yea I have my banshee pulse to 11 and the difference is minimal

[sacred edge]

lame, so is any of it even worth it?

[viscid dagger]

Weapon expertise yes

Most definitely

But it gets expensive to upgrade the more you do it

[fathom spruce]

it's a small increase but nice as an endgame thing to get after you got all the other stuff and don't know what else to spend things on

[viscid dagger]

It's the last thing you wanna focus on cuz upgrading it is very expensive

[fathom spruce]

it's also fairly easy to passively reach like expertise level 10-15 which allows you to upgrade some of your favourite/most used weapons to level 10-15

[viscid dagger]

Well upgrading the weapons per say

[fathom spruce]

but yes it's indeed like an after-everything-else kind of thing, unless whatever you'd spend on it you're already overcapped on and wouldn't spend on anything else

e.g. upgrading weapons can be "free" if you're capped on receiver components and other materials you'd need for it, and don't have the need for those materials atm
as optimising and recalibrating might use entirely different set of materials
but whenever you have to choose between the two, always choose the non expertise option like recalibrate to an ideal stat, optimise the right stats etc

[foggy needle]

FYI for skill damage its much less then a flat +20% increase (since its to base skill damage) so final % boost in your example would be like 230% rough example (instead of 220 +20= 240)

[versed pumice]

Choose it in the display/ graphic settings

[fathom spruce]

o I thought that the skill tiers would add like say 200% on top of the base of whatever that is so it'd use the same numbers

same way expertise on weapons is WD so if you had 150% WD and expertise a weapon to 20 you now have 170% WD

[foggy needle]

skill tiers yes but not skill expertise

[versed pumice]

Where ur refresh rate n whatnot is

[fathom spruce]

press Alt Enter tbh (like for most apps that support it)

best way imo because game often randomly goes windowed (if you launch it while active in another program) so it's quicker than going in settings

[narrow matrix]

I’m not a pc gamer

[foggy needle]

TLDR on expertise:
Weapon = like normal WD (not to base damage)
Skill = to base skill damage
Armor = to base armor

[fathom spruce]

yeah it was just on my part not knowing where the base skill expertise vs skill tier increases come from, I knew the effect was small because it doesn't apply to the overall thing

[narrow matrix]

This game keeps crashing every time I try to change the graphics …

[foggy needle]

you are good with weapon dps formula right ? @fathom spruce i can do a quick example

[upbeat falcon]

Is Warlords of New York a separate download

[viscid dagger]

I haven't heard anyone even talk about this
Is spec weapon expertise upgrading any good 😅

[versed pumice]

Congrats on coming to pc

[fathom spruce]

usually yeah I'd say

[fathom spruce]

I'd assume it'd be if you really love a signature weapon and use it whenever you can, still a bit less value as a regular go-to weapon as you can't use it as often because of ammo, I'd prioritise upgrading weapons and skills first for sure for most
unless it has some hidden mechanic I don't know about that changes it

[viscid dagger]

Honestly got me curious tbh
Might try and upgrade the tac 50

[foggy needle]

Weapon expertise
Base bullet damage x (Weapon damage% + Weapon % expertise) x TWD x the other stuff

Skill expertise
(Base skill damage flat number + expertise %) x Skill damage % x other stuff.

Armor expertise
(Base Armor flat number + expertise %) + Armor cores x other stuff

not sure if this helps you Apple lol or makes it more confusing for you 🤣 hopefully helps

[fathom spruce]

where do skill tier bonusses come in there though? in the skill damage section? because then I'd assume that's separate to skill damage as attribute no?

[sacred edge]

What do you mean choose the non expertise option?

[foggy needle]

together with normal skill damage % (for the skill damage boosts)

[tropic plover]

I just realized why armor expertise isn't relevant, I was attributing the 20% to the core as well, not base armor... I'm dumb

[foggy needle]

at max 22 armor expertise its ~145k total extra armor.

[fathom spruce]

oh so if you go from 0 to 6 skill damage attributes so you go from 0 to 60% skill damage in stats, you don't even actually gain 60% more damage on skills because it's diminished by say a skill being T6 already and that's already say 120% for an assault drone?

[sacred edge]

referring to this btw

[fathom spruce]

so adding 6 skill damage attributes (going from 0% skill damage to 60% skill damage, so no other bonusses like technician's 10% or capacitor buff) to an assault drone makes it go from 120 to 180% bonus instead of 60% multiplier on its damage? :o

never really noticed

[tropic plover]

Yeah I was thinking the expertise would also apply to the blue armor cores lol

[foggy needle]

correct, skill tiers damage and normal skill damage on gear works the exact same way as Red cores do.

[sacred edge]

e.g. upgrading weapons can be "free" if you're capped on receiver components and other materials you'd need for it, and don't have the need for those materials atm
as optimising and recalibrating might use entirely different set of materials
but whenever you have to choose between the two, always choose the non expertise option like recalibrate to an ideal stat, optimise the right stats etc

Can someone elaborate on that?

[wispy merlin]

so with skill expertise, getting +1 on a skill that gives %damage, assuming 100 base damage will make the first multiplier go from 100 to 100 + 0.01?

[lime night]

is in divions 2 same lets say as destiny 2 some weapon exlsusive to past season and cant drop any more?

[inner tendon]

Nope, all previous Seasons weapons are added to the Targeted Loot pool. So farm away.

[sacred edge]

Yea that quite possibly the dumbest decision a live service game has made since.... I don't even know

[meager elbow]

make division 2 fanservice

[foggy needle]

So skill expertise is to base skill damage, so example of expertise 10.

Say turret does 100 damage, 10 expertise is a 10% boost to this flat number and not additive with all other skill damage stuff (which would be stronger), same you also have 60% skill damage on gear.

So (100 x 1.10 = 110) x 1.60 x talents x amps…..

[wispy merlin]

so it's a multiplier

[foggy needle]

to a flat number (not to other % multipliers like other stuff) so much smaller dps boost

[wispy merlin]

it doesn't matter where that multiplier is in the expression tho

if it really is a multiplier

[foggy needle]

you missed the point.

[wispy merlin]

i'm also trying to understand

bear with me

[foggy needle]

its a multiplier ONLY to a flat number and not to other % boosts as well (like normal skill damage would be

so normal skill damage (ie 1pc wyvern) is a multiplier to the flat number but also to other % boosts.
Skill expertise is a multiplier ONLY to the flat number

[wispy merlin]

yeah, but in the expression you gave, 100 x 1.1 x 1.6 x talents x amps is the same as 100 x 1.6 x talents x amps x 1.1, unless i'm missing something here

[foggy needle]

Does this help, example of turret bullet damage

(100k x 1.1)=110k x 1.6 = 176k total bullet damage is how it works.
100k x [1.1 x 1.6] = 187k (how it would work if it wasn’t to base).

sorry typo fixed

[wispy merlin]

uh

i'm confused how you got 187k for the second example there

[foggy needle]

oops 1 sec

1.1 x 1.6 = 1.76 then x the flat number

[wispy merlin]

...which would be 176k

[foggy needle]

OMG hold up my mistake

[wispy merlin]

multiplication is associative, it doesn't matter which ones multiply first

[foggy needle]

im having a brain fart atm 1 second

OHHH okay

[wispy merlin]

no worries

i'm not at my pc rn so can't really get numbers to confirm the formula

[foggy needle]

hmmm nm thought i had it, need to double check skill expertise again.

[wispy merlin]

thanks, was curious about this too but forgot to ask here

[foggy needle]

like armor exp is easy but brain fart on the skill exp atm. example 10 exp

(base armor x 1.10) + armor cores x all other boosts

[wispy merlin]

gotcha, that formula definitely checks out

i'm guessing the "all other boosts" is a product including total armor from various sources like watch and gila guard?

[foggy needle]

alright got it, skill expertise works just like weapon expertise so like this:

example of turret bullet damage. 60% skill damage, 10 expertise.

100k x (1.6+1.1) x other boosts

[wispy merlin]

okay, additive to skill damage

[foggy needle]

and yes

[wispy merlin]

gotcha, thanks azur, much appreciated
