Can you kill a stalking Hunter?

Like one shot him

[narrow kraken]

nope

i think he was refference to countdown

since his mask appeared there

[storm river]

Who?

[narrow kraken]

the hunter

[storm river]

Which hunter

[narrow kraken]

the one who spawns on the building near washington monument

[storm river]

None are referencing cd

The hunters have been in the game far longer than countdown has

[narrow kraken]

read again

ofc if something is refference its gonna be longer in game

[storm river]

Yeah

You said the one that spawns on washington monument is a reference to countdown, which is wrong

[inner tendon]

Hunters in Countdown aren't even technically Hunters, as they don't actually count towards tallies.
My head-canon is that they're in-training.

[storm river]

Yeah idk what this dude is trying to say

Theyre also just copy pastes of existing open world ones

[thorn hedge]

theoretically yes

its just difficult lol

[inner tendon]

The "stalkers" as we call them, are actually totally harmless, do no damage, and drop no loot.

[thorn hedge]

no they do drop loot

its just regular open world enemy loot

[inner tendon]

Unless it's a recent change or mine was bugged, then this is news to me.

[narrow kraken]

i typed i think so im not saying it is

[thorn hedge]

you can look up videos dating back to '19 of it lol

[narrow kraken]

wait so the hunter spawning on the building with mg can be killed he always dissapear if u want to shoot him

[thorn hedge]

i was told "you basically need to 360 no-scope a crit headshot with a tac-50"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRc0ILd637g here u go rivens

[inner tendon]

They can spawn in a lot of locations.
They are harmless and aren't normally called Hunters.

Ooh okay I get it now, people are talking about one of the Mask Hunters.

[fast junco]

Focus tac50 might be able to do it

[thorn hedge]

hard to even get an aim on one without it poofing away

[fast junco]

True

[narrow kraken]

u need good reflex

[thorn hedge]

but it is possible

[inner tendon]

Yeah the one on the container near Washington Monument was moved a while back.
That's the one that used to require saluting the graves, I forget which one it is.

[fast junco]

360 YY them

[thorn hedge]

those are regular hunters

stalkers are way different

[thorn hedge]

heres a video from '19 of someone killing a hunter

stalker hunter

[inner tendon]

There was never any question if you could kill a Stalker, that is well known.

[thorn hedge]

or just do what google says

[thorn hedge]

but that vid shows a pile of HE loot dropping from it

[inner tendon]

I mean cool, but when I did it none did. Which is what I said.

[thorn hedge]

ah my bad

[thorn hedge]

google wtf

[nimble spruce]

I suspect it's confusing Division 2 with Subnautica

[narrow kraken]

for the stalker mine "always" spawns on this building near monument

[turbid igloo]

I saw one near the campus base

Hold on lemme get the screenshot

Here

I was Just walking trying to Discover where he was until i saw a Orange flash

[storm river]

Theyre all over the place

[turbid igloo]

Then i aimed at him and he Just dissapeared

[storm river]

Usually whenever your hud starts to randomly glitch theres one watching you

[turbid igloo]

Ik

I always keep shitting not because they're difficult to deal with mainly when you're just chill but because how creepy the backstory/lore of the hunters can be after they kill an agent

Like drag them and hang them somewhere

Like the survival extraction points

Meaning that If you die they just basically drag you around, hang YOUR corpse and then leave it as a warning

Would be cool if your corpse was found with an axe or hanged on the death place (killed by a Hunter) for 1 hour before despawning

Without the watch too

[narrow kraken]

actually not a bad detail

[turbid igloo]

With some blood written wall like "this is a warning" or the famous DLC Hunter "dare you to come closer"

[heavy lake]

can anyone help me get the nemesis sniper?

[turbid igloo]

I'd like to but i sadly don't have plus 🥲

[narrow kraken]

• yall on diff "consoles"

[thorn hedge]

platforms is a better word

[narrow kraken]

my bad

[thorn hedge]

no worries lol just giving a minute correction

[turbid igloo]

I still can enter he's game tho

If only i had plus

Kinda sucks

[narrow kraken]

how come

i never knew u could do that

[vast mesa]

how hard is legendary vs heroic?

[storm river]

Very. Its the biggest jump in difficulty in the game by far

If you can stomp heroic, youll get crushed on legendary with the same builds and playstyles

[quasi niche]

Went in floor 1 Summit legendary just to see how it is... got oneshotted by a random red dude 😅 and im doin heroic + 4 directives easy

[bronze viper]

Hey everyone. I'm new to game. Anyone could help me tonight with the game please?

[fast junco]

Summit legendary isn't as hard as regular legendary in my experience

[hybrid onyx]

Welcome to legendary, a place where you use the age old technique of hiding behind a stack of box and slowly pick enemies of one by one

[sacred edge]

Feel like they would still bum rush you and kill you anyway

[narrow matrix]

heroic with fragile armor 😂

[fallow inlet]

Hey Rivens

[karmic fern]

anyone else having major issues with the div 2 servers right now? starting the game takes forever while connecting to the servers

[fallow inlet]

depends on region

[thorn hedge]

Last week I did floor 93-100 on 10 directive legendary

[split bronze]

Is the mortar turret build in the spreadsheet the best one?

[narrow matrix]

Sniping?

That seems impossible without sniping 😭

I’ve recently switched to a rifle build and it’s the only way you can do multiple activities in free roam without needing to go to safe house for ammo if not running gunner / picking up ammo drops

For me anyways with AR I can probs get 2-3 convoys

[median hemlock]

If it's the high end one it's pretty good. You can also be a little budget with it and just use 3 empress 1 wyvern 1 china light 1 choice (waveform perhaps)

[quasi niche]

Is there no other way for low shd players to farm materials other than running those material routes ? 😞 so boring if you need hundreds of ceramics and only get like 50 per run or so

[narrow matrix]

Activities

Public execution, territory control, propaganda broadcast and resource convoy are all fast and give about 13-25 of one resource

Resource convoy gives between 18-25

Resource convoy can also be completed relatively faster than those

But they are faster than control points which will give you multiple materials and like 10-15 of a resource on completion (reward) but the supply room and crates / bag around has the most materials it just takes hella long

If you’re gonna farm cp just farm on challenging so u at least get a decent amount of field recon data

Public execution is better than all of the ones listed imo bc you get bounties if u save both hostages which can give you tactical assessment and credits (currency) as well as potential resources…

Resource convoy gives the most of one resource and is the fastest tho

Also keep solar farm and sinkhole cps captured, then run around the entire area and collect all the loot around … literally scattered everywhere even outside the cp into the surrounding areas

Sewers..

[stiff crypt]

Heisenberg

[versed pumice]

Looks annoying

[narrow matrix]

if scavenged skills is off for that u can do a rifle negotiators build

and it wont be that bad since u can run some form of healing skill and shield

just keep heal hive / repair trap down and u can use shield without issue

[lavish fox]

is it worth getting a gold item out of the shop even if im only level 14?

or can i get it later?

[clear dirge]

honestly i wouldn't worry too much about it

as you level you're constantly getting item drops and such

[regal summit]

At that level I wouldn't recommend buying stuff. Even if the vendor have something that's good for you now, then 3 levels later (so a couple hours), it'll already be underleveled and you'll want to replace it

So you can save your credits

[lavish fox]

gotcha just checking ive never seen a gold item yet got excited hahaha

back to the grind

[clear dirge]

if you need help lemme know...i'm on right now just goofing around

[regal summit]

You'll see plenty more as you do highee difficulties 👍

[lavish fox]

im just running campaign if you wanna run it nothing crazy

trying to get to the good stuff

[clear dirge]

yeah sure i'll help ya....my id is my ubisoft id so just send me a invite.

[lavish fox]

sent a FR

one sec

[clear dirge]

ok

[lavish fox]

i closed my cleint on accident lol

[jade inlet]

How do I get my Ruthless to level 40? It’s level 1

[nimble spruce]

you have to recalibrate a level 40 Merciless into a Ruthless (there's a recipe for it in the crafting bench). You can't do anything with the lvl 1 Ruthless.

[unborn dirge]

How can one obtain a full striker set?

[silent plaza]

hey guys been farming for Fenris backpack in countdown f or like 3 days now to get wicked talent on it and hasnt dropped once with that talent is there some gearbrand that just drop more or less of a talent?

and is countdown better to farm then Summit with heroic+5 directives?

[thorn hedge]

I was sniping and my mate was doing AR

I invited another person but they were too scared

[mighty pewter]

new update awesome but are they fixing the bugs? I can't even play the game, it keeps crashing

[wraith flare]

update was a bunch of fixes

crashing will be fixed hopefully soonish given the new team

[fallow inlet]

Hey RIRI, Kettle, .drib, Eevee

[mighty pewter]

i played when the game 1st came out and then a long time later when the tower/expansion came out as it was mentioned that a bunch of bugs were fixed but the game was still crashing.

If it was just the game it would be sort of ok but last time it crashed my entire pc

[lavish fox]

20-33 for the main missions how long you think?

[kindred pine]

I beat Roosevelt island and didn't get the scales wtf. Is it because a cache already gave me a nemesis?

Any ideas?

[narrow kraken]

Hi. I've just started to notice this Orange icon on certain players, especially in countdown. Any ideas?

[kindred pine]

Just did it twice still no scales

[raven trout]

It means that's a hardcore character

[narrow kraken]

Many thanks. 👍

[wary spoke]

Is there any reason, any at all, to use Incoming Repairs mods? Even on a doctor loadout, I feel like Repair Skills mods would be more beneficial...

[wary spoke]

I believe that you'll have to "get rid of" your preexisting Nemmy in order to get the components to craft it to drop.

[wary spoke]

Iirc, you can transfer it to another character instead of deconstructing it.

[real wharf]

Hey so I built a new pc and I'm having issues with the ps5 controller not working and I'm playing the game from Ubisoft connect launcher. keyboard and mouse isn't a bad way to play this game but I do like to relax at times

any ideas?

[dull pasture]

why is flatline recommended in this HF build here? I don't seem to be able to put linked laser on any of the SMGs?

https://www.evernote.com/shard/s588/client/snv?isnewsnv=true&noteGuid=dac488ca-a827-b49b-7b65-917751756b2c&noteKey=bf5edc877964a987205b04cc6ddda64a&sn=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.evernote.com%2Fshard%2Fs588%2Fsh%2Fdac488ca-a827-b49b-7b65-917751756b2c%2Fbf5edc877964a987205b04cc6ddda64a&title=Hunters%2BFury%2B%2528TU16%2529

[wispy merlin]

the top 3 smgs listed (mpx, cmmg banshee, mp5) can all fit the linked laser pointer

[dull pasture]

I must be dumb or something then, because I don't see it as an option:

[wispy merlin]

oh my bad, banshee has short underbarrel, so no it cannot fit it

[verbal topaz]

Chameleon morph into SMG

[wispy merlin]

i know mp5 can fit it

[dull pasture]

the MP5A2 is not the same as the MP5?

I'll look for an MP5 then when I have the chance

[wispy merlin]

MP5A2 can fit it. afaik only the N variant cannot fit it

and MPX can fit it, just checked

wait nvm i eat my words. MP5A2 can't fit it, other variants can

[verbal topaz]

Does chameleon fit

[dull pasture]

I was just looking at my own MPX too haha. I think it also is a shortbarrel

[wispy merlin]

ah damn. this sheet i'm looking at is outdated. it is short barreled too

[dim crag]

It's an Exotic, you can't swap attachments

[verbal topaz]

I thought you socket anything onto chameleon

[fast junco]

Exotics weapons have static mods

[craggy osprey]

best way to do the black tusk burned and true sons disoriented ?

[west hearth]

Play invaded missions with ep and fire bomb

got it in 2 missions

disoriented banshee on a mission with truesons you can probs just run in banshee and run out reset mission if theres any mission that start with them close to the entrance. Atleast thats what i did with destroy weakpoints i used firefly and resetted the tanker mission

[dire valve]

https://streamable.com/wlw6xk

this is how i did true sons disorient one

[west hearth]

Yep that works

[west hearth]

what mission is that?

[craggy osprey]

Air n space museum?

[craggy osprey]

Eclipse protocol set ? 4 piece with chest n bag?

[strong kiln]

Does anybody know how to get the effing "New projects available" alert on the bottom of the screen to go away? It's been there FOREVER and i can't see backup request details and i can't find answers anywhere

[fast junco]

• vile and a Golan piece or hana-u if you don't want the annoying farm

[west hearth]

Yeah, i have a build but not home rn

[nimble spruce]

Buying the season pass will give you access to an extra daily project, which will make that message go away. Not a great solution but it works.

[golden pawn]

What level do you get max shd

[west hearth]

ui ui

[west hearth]

1000

50 per for 4 and 4 times + the scavenge rolls

[golden pawn]

What’s the fastest way to progress through I’m only at like 190

[west hearth]

Convoys, dz landmarks, cps

I just play the game and do what i want im at 240 so dont get lost in the grind

[strong kiln]

That's extremely lame and scummy tbh

[fast junco]

I don't think it's one of the advertised features, just the only way around the bug

[fast junco]

Don't rush the grind, just enjoy it. The difference between 190 and 1000 isn't anywhere as big as you think

As long you you get your points in chc first it's basically the same

[dire valve]

air & space, story diff so i get the garage checkpoint

[nimble spruce]

Tbf I don't think it's something they did intentionally, just another example of poor coding. If you have the ui customisation options on the ps you might be able to move the notification box around or shrink it to a point.

[narrow matrix]

Play with directives, easiest ones are special ammo and fog of war

I also run scavenged skills, the only downside to it I’ve found it messes with your ability to run the wicked talent and you can’t switch skills but you can refresh skills faster than you normally would by waiting…

Except revive hive good luck with that one lol

Also run dps build so u clear stuff faster

[kindred pine]

Moved my nemesis to a new character, but rosevelt still not showing its gonna drop scales...

[nimble spruce]

I don't think it lists the exotic parts on the rewards list, if that's what you mean. (Also you need the Tally from Adrestia before it'll drop any other parts, just in case you don't already have it)

[kindred pine]

Yea I had it and it did drop I did see one hold out mention a random nemesis part drop once tho

[zealous ether]

what mission

[wraith flare]

air & space

[zealous ether]

ty]

[west hearth]

Ait thanks ill look into it

[buoyant patio]

Is summit floor 10 farming still a thing? Found a 1 year old vid and unsure if it's up to date
I want to farm shd levels for my watch cuz ppl keep kicking me without even checking my build from countdown, so even though I have a great build they only look at my level and kick me out xD

[craggy osprey]

If i dont get the league missions to 10 this week, do i have to start over when week 2 comes?

Im missing 2 medals for the trophy

[nimble spruce]

No, it was patched: best xp farm now is probably just running around doing open world activities (territory control etc) with loads of directives. Regarding countdown, matchmaking for challenging not heroic will help, and if course don't run a turret/drone type build.

[nimble spruce]

The challenges reset each week but your progress through the reward track does not, so you can 40 points this week and another 20 next week by redoing a couple of the speedruns and you'll get all the rewards.

[sacred edge]

Yea I missed the tombs speed run by like 5 seconds, whole team dropped after :\

[zealous ether]

Why is the tombs so tight on time

i ran it 3 times 'as fast as possible' always end up after 15 mins

any tips to save time

[lime night]

Skill issue

[zealous ether]

true

[dire valve]

find people

[cedar schooner]

What build are you running?

[zealous ether]

whatever u want me to, since ive been doing it in a team, not solo

[cedar schooner]

I mean it’s easy enough to do solo tbh. I ran it first try with a lady death/HF build. And there’s better ways to run league. Optimally you want 2 people for the best scaling.

[nimble spruce]

Did it solo a minute under, dps build with memento and tech, shield and emp. Emp mostly to help clear the final area, but also handy with some of the drones.

[zealous ether]

sc ur build in build channel

[sacred edge]

Its the ending thats the problem. Dunno how you do it any faster

[nimble spruce]

run into the middle and emp whenever you're struggling to pinpoint enemies, it'll clear the decoys and you can spot the real enemies from the status effect on them. Also you can see all the sniper towers from the middle

[sacred edge]

You can see all the sniper towers, but figuring out which one is real long enough to do enough damage is another thing. Is it even possible to sequence break that part and lower his health enough to get him to jump out?

[thorn hedge]

jammer

[narrow matrix]

best way really is to blind him with blinder firefly and use tac 50 to headshot him

or mantis

and no u cant break the sequence to what im aware of, he does 3 rotations

[nimble spruce]

just skim your view around, it's pretty easy to spot the real one usually, especially if you're out in the open, as he'll be shooting at you or ducking out of sight

first appearance is always Charlie at least, after that it seems to be random

[thorn hedge]

or just... jam

lol

[cedar schooner]

Using a striker drone works very well, as you’ll be able to tell if it’s him with the targeting prompt (Q/E or L1/R1)

[nimble spruce]

you need quite a high skill tier to have the jammer range to cover all the towers

[sacred edge]

^ what I was thinking

[nimble spruce]

eh, doesn't the drone target the decoys most of the time?

[sacred edge]

Yes

[cedar schooner]

Not his oddly enough

[sacred edge]

very annoying

[cedar schooner]

The ones on the ground yes

[narrow matrix]

i dont think he heals between rotations tho which is nice

[sacred edge]

Yea its just getting through each phase is a pain. Other bosses you can just burst them down and deal with stragglers and that's it.

[narrow matrix]

i find the wony dlc to be quite annoying with how far they go to drag the boss out

entirety of pathway is chasing one nerd down

[zealous ether]

Why arent public executions counting for me?

in cursed yellow zone

[loud saddle]

towards the manhunt?

[zealous ether]

yea

[loud saddle]

did you do the yellow public exec? or just a normal red one? (IIRC the manhunt one should show up as yellow icon)

[zealous ether]

i uuh dont have any yellow public execs?

[loud saddle]

the one on bottom right?

[zealous ether]

OOH

i thought thats a fkin control point lol

[loud saddle]

👍 no worries

when they replace icons it can get confusing

[zealous ether]

Do i need to unlock tidal basin trough normal means first to be able to do the cursed bounty there?

[wide bay]

No. But you can’t load the bounty it you’re in front of tidal. Best to do it from a safe house.

[zealous ether]

im still confused on how to start it

[wide bay]

Select bounties in west Potomac park

[zealous ether]

the guys in DC

ooh so its a bounty

thought its a mission

[nimble spruce]

check the bounty screen, I think the cursed one isn't actually in West Potomac, it's the area north of that where all the activities were

[zealous ether]

got it

[wide bay]

Great

[zealous ether]

help with this shit

mid mission is bugged we cant proceed, and i cant cancel the bounty to restart it

[clever ocean]

go to a different zone

like nyc

[ruby cedar]

is it wort getting into, i never play td2 befor?

[wraith flare]

yes

[zealous ether]

so they were live for 20 minutes

[zealous ether]

Sooo, how r we supposed to watch for 200min if the stream was 35min and done? lol

[scarlet maple]

it starts from apr 21

[foggy needle]

its ANY div 2 stream (not just the official div channel) for drops

[zealous ether]

oh

bet

[supple swift]

Any creator? or a preapproved list?

[foggy needle]

says "any creator with drops enabled"

[supple swift]

and it can be a single 3-4 hour stream right?

[zealous ether]

that goes without saying

[supple swift]

wait. did you mean partnered creators?

[foggy needle]

not partnered, just ""any creator with drops enabled"

[lime night]

but not today?

[scarlet maple]

no

starts from tomorrow

[foggy needle]

FULLY read this post ☝️, er that picture

[foggy needle]

yes

[turbid igloo]

Guys do i put an +10% crit damage ammo or +10 ammo capacity

[foggy needle]

bigger mag size always for the mag mod

[turbid igloo]

?

Confused hold on

Do i put bigger Mag capacity or more crit damage mag

Also it's for my FAMAS 2010

[foggy needle]

Mag capacity so ideally the +20 mag size if you have it otherwise use the +10 until you get the +20

[turbid igloo]

So i put the capacity until i get the even bigger capacity Mag?

[foggy needle]

yes

[turbid igloo]

I got one weapon cannon/beak (idk how to spell it) that gives 10% crit chance

My crit damage is 53 rn and my FAMAS 2010 talent makes it increase every 0,5 Second shooting

Is the on limit talent good?

[turbid igloo]

It's this one

Which increases crit damage every 0,5 Second shooting

[foggy needle]

sounds lke the talent called "strained", its a great talent

[jade inlet]

My headgear isn’t showing on my character and I’m not sure why

[turbid igloo]

It increases my crit damage every Second i shoot

Is it really good?

[foggy needle]

yes and its a top tier talent

[versed pumice]

But my fast hands

[jade inlet]

@foggy needle my headgear isn’t showing on my character

[fast junco]

You might be wearing a mask the blocks it

[turbid igloo]

Lucky i got this talent on FAMAS

Also i made a summit gameplay

Wanna see it?

[foggy needle]

not atm but thanks.

[leaden condor]

Should I boost to world level 5 to play the dlc, or get there normally ?

[golden geode]

have you played before

[leaden condor]

yes Im world level 1

[golden geode]

you didnt start at NY then

[leaden condor]

no I bought the dlc halfway through the main story and now Im done and would like to play the dlc

[golden geode]

if you dont want to go though world tiers then boost

[clever ocean]

going through the world tiers is more story content

but there's no problem with skipping it if you want

[foggy needle]

world tiers is more of the story so skip it if you want.

[leaden condor]

just seems like doing the same things I alr did

[clever ocean]

well that is the game lol

you shoot bad guys and get gear

[golden geode]

isnt world tiers only requierd in HC mode like you have to do it in HC mode

[foggy needle]

nope

[golden geode]

i mean you cant skip world tiers in HC mode

[leaden condor]

yeah, but the gear I get is useless the moment I start the dlc

[golden geode]

yes itll automaticaly give you level 31 gear

[narrow matrix]

How many bounties can u store on a character

[foggy needle]

world tiers is more of the main story, if you dont care about that, then feel free to skip it. completely your choice .

[leaden condor]

oki thanks

[stoic bear]

Hahaha heartland looks like a reskinned Fortnite

[versed pumice]

Nun wrong with that ish seeing how successful Fortnite still is

[foggy needle]

yup lol

[clever ocean]

the problem is that fortnite already captured that market lol

[versed pumice]

Plus it'll attract more players having a less serious tone too it

[clever ocean]

it's the same reason why all those MOBA clones could never compete with league and dota

[versed pumice]

Kids will likely play it

[foggy needle]

eh not really same market. Heartland has loot and build making, Fortnite doesnt, its just a plain BR with good events though

Heartlands will compete with escape of tarkov and the like, not really with fortnite tbh.

[versed pumice]

Ah so heartlands kinda like Vigor

Wondering if they'll add bullet drop n such

[marsh marsh]

does anyone who has the nemesis willing to help me try and get it please?

[versed pumice]

I would be down ye

[marsh marsh]

thanks, whats your ubisoft name so i can add u?

[echo swift]

Are the ubisoft connect core challenges broken for everyone? Weekly challenges seem to work without an issue

[thorn hedge]

does anyone else have this

[abstract void]

Just coming back to the game after a long time. Wheres a good place to start and what would some easy builds be to get going?

[thorn hedge]

#td2-build-advice pinned messages

[clever ocean]

gearsets are generally easier to work around. Recommend umbra, heartbreaker, hunter fury or striker as a starter

[abstract void]

looks like i have an eclipse protocol build i was playing with last time i played dont know if thats still good or not

[thorn hedge]

still no clue what this is

[rain nova]

is striker and famas meta rn i see alot of people using it

[azure turret]

I need help in keener final mission, I keep on dying. Anyone can help me? I'm on PC.

[jade inlet]

I destroyed the Raven’s ammo pack then killed him but it didn’t count for my tech stage 4 research. Do I havw to do it on a certain difficulty?

[cedar schooner]

Best gear set + best AR = meta

[clever ocean]

yes. story does not count.

[crude falcon]

i see people preload PTS, what is that and do i really need to download another 70GBs for that "preload" thingy ?

[thorn hedge]

yes

[crude falcon]

what is that btw? Dev server? Test server ?

[cedar schooner]

Public test server?

[rain nova]

Can i get the ninjabike bag any other way besides the season pass

[oak talon]

you can save on several GB's by copying your current div2 folder into a second folder, and installing the pts into that second folder, then instead of the full download its only a 5-10 GB generally

[oak talon]

for current season exotics you can not get them to drop personally until you get your first one from the reward track, so only other ways are if someone shares one to you

[rain nova]

Oh

[jade inlet]

I see

[crimson garnet]

would you guys recommend determined anymore for marksmen? or are straight up damage perks like ranger or optimist better

[true siren]

The Public Test Server (PTS) is a server environment for people who want to test the new content before it gets added to the game. It will only be active for a few days before the main game gets updated. Your characters will be copied to the test server, but will not be copied back after the test period ends.

[crude falcon]

oh so it just like War Thunder dev server, thanks you

[true siren]

yours welcomes.

[crude falcon]

how long between test server content release to live server btw ?

[true siren]

approx a week, sometimes 2 weeks.

[crude falcon]

kay, look worth to download then

[true siren]

as iKia said, you can copy the contents of your maingame folder to the test server's folder, it will just download the new stuff

[edgy solstice]

How? Could you explain it a bit more please ty

[true siren]

I've only one it once and it was about 3 years ago, but if memory serves you start the download of the test server, let it generate a folder for the test server, then copy the contents of the full game to the test folder, then verify integrity

[edgy solstice]

Okay 👍 ty

[inner tendon]

Fair warning: I tried that last PTS and it just ignored the file transfer. So YMMV.

[crude falcon]

i don't know why but Ubisoft download only 500kb/s

meanwhile other stuff (steam/Origin/...) still 10mb/s

is this Ubisoft client problem ?

[thorn hedge]

likely not a problem but just latency

[dire valve]

did you limit bandwidth usage in settings

[main onyx]

My D2 had 5 gigs of update but Idk what was it. Anyone care to explain? I don't see anything new in the game.

[wraith flare]

#patch-notes 17.2

[fallow inlet]

They fixed a bunch of things and broke a bunch of things

Hey .drib

[main onyx]

Alright thanks fellas 👍

[dull pasture]

what build do people generally run for countdown?

[maiden mantle]

Should I be using attachments for my weapons? Also how do I get more of them?

[nimble spruce]

Most people run dps (high end, heartbreaker, strikers are all popular). Skill damage builds aren't viable, cc and healers can be useful but aren't super necessary

Oh and protection from elites builds can work well too

[dull pasture]

mm. I use HB right now but I feel like I'm shooting sponges sometimes

[nimble spruce]

Yes, and if you look at the crafting bench it tells you where to find them, some are perks, project rewards, or purchased but most are rewards for completing level 3 or 4 control points

[dull pasture]

I might roll some blue cores off

[nimble spruce]

Yeah swap some blue to red

And don't run the hb backpack, get a vigilance one if you haven't already

[latent spade]

Anyone else had a issue where ur mods just completely disappear from ur inventory even though your gear has the mods equipped? but says 0/100

[maiden mantle]

Thank you

[bold fulcrum]

Is the rail splitter named C-TAR ar still gonna be in a vendor reset?

Cause that is the only named ar that I'm missing in my collection

[nimble spruce]

Check the spreadsheet, might be a dz item (in which case the dz vendors have a chance of stocking it but not regular vendors)

[bold fulcrum]

Well i checked it and it once was sold at Cassie Mendoza before the introduction of the wony dlc

[twin orbit]

Does exotics (lady death, scorpio etc) still drop in open world? Or only DZ?

[west hearth]

Afaik open world yes

[thorny swallow]

not sure if it's still the case but lady death used to drop from named enemies in NYC open world in addition to targeted loot

[nimble spruce]

None of the exotics are dz-exclusive any more

[dull mortar]

When was the last time harmony show up on dz vendor? Is it on rotation or just pure random?

[tulip fiber]

Random

[zealous ether]

7 dps, 1 support

[uneven moat]

Hey guys haven't played in about a year. Last I remember heartbreaker was stupid broken, and people were farming summit 10 for exp. What's up with the div2 world nowadays?

[nimble spruce]

Both of those have been patched. No current major xp farms or broken op gear.

[abstract scarab]

Where can I go to easily get drones or rc cars, need em for my technician research

[storm river]

check settings to see if youve limited the download speed

[storm river]

black tusk and hyenas

[crude falcon]

chcked, not

[abstract scarab]

More specific, like missions, stronghold, control points?

[storm river]

no, since you just need specific archetypes

[abstract scarab]

Now I need warhounds, any missions that have easy access to them?

[turbid igloo]

Should i put crit damage or crit chance on my glove

[turbid igloo]

@foggy needle i trust you

Since you're definitely a veteran

[foggy needle]

always crit damage on the 1st stat and chc for your 2nd stat on gear

[turbid igloo]

I can only put one for some reason

[foggy needle]

you can only recalibrate 1 stat slot or talent onto an item, the other stats would have to be the ones you want already.

[turbid igloo]

Oh ok

Got any defense + offense build?

[graceful geyser]

Depends on how you want to build one, there's different ways to mitigate and reduce damage from armor regen, having more blue cores, having repair skills with incoming repair to keep your shields up, etc.

[storm river]

yo my friends PTS isnt showing up in his library, anyone know whats up with that?

[mortal dagger]

Are they on Steam or Ubisoft Connect?

[storm river]

ubi

[mortal dagger]

They need to switch back to the Standard launcher by clicking the switch at the top than going to their Library to see all games, it should be listed under the The Division section

Sorry, under "My Games"

Like this

[storm river]

he is on that

it aint there for him

and i dont think hes got the beta

[mortal dagger]

Oof, then I dunno, that's wierd it didn't show up

[versed pumice]

I run carth + 2 pc golan , guard, belstone n 1 yahl

Ah nvm u referring to new mode

[mortal dagger]

Tell him to switch to beta, close the launcher fully, open and switch it back to Standard. That might work, if not idk

[storm river]

yeah im doin that

also any1 figured out NSA tech yet???

[turbid igloo]

@foggy needle thanks to your tips i could kill 2 hunters in solo

[regal hemlock]

How I download the pts ?

[golden geode]

if you have the space you can copy the contents of your main game folder to your pts folder on ubisoft connect

[fallow inlet]

Hey Kettle,RIRI

[frozen pumice]

Is resident evil coming out in 4 days?

[tribal perch]

Watched the Division Day anniversary broadcast from start to finish but didn't get the Metalhead hat
After checking Twitch Drops, it says to watch TheDivisionGame channel, which is rarely used recently. Is this correct?

[loud saddle]

they messed up and didn't award the hat yesterday, you could've gotten the shirt though by watching a partnered streamer with drops enabled....

then starting today (in about an hour and a half according to the post), you can watch partnered streamers for an amount of time to earn additional rewards.

[crude falcon]

how to quick find specify material, example: steel ?

[fallow inlet]

Solar farm

Or try ivy tunnel route

[nimble spruce]

hey Saph

[sleek shadow]

does anyone else notice getting almost 20 countdown Requisition points less each run since patch?

[mortal dagger]

any luck?

[versed pumice]

Resource convoys give em and some enemies drop em

[clever ocean]

@foggy needle QQ: last week I did raid and got 30 parts, this week I did raid and got 10 more parts and finished the projects and now i have the gun pieces project. do i need to wait for 1 more reset?

i believe so but just want confirmation cuz nobody explains this shit anywhere

[nimble spruce]

if you have the gun pieces, try crafting it

[clever ocean]

sorry, I have the gun pieces project

i'm assuming since i've already done it this week i cant finish that

[foggy needle]

Um I think the crafting bug is still in the game, but you can try (crafted revolver doesn't count).

[nimble spruce]

they fixed the crafting bug this week, but yeah - you won't get the gun pieces until a fresh run

[foggy needle]

ah then nm. what kettle said ^^

[clever ocean]

darn i can't believe they made it take 3 weeks to get

[leaden condor]

How can I tell if something has good stats / perks and should I even keep any stuff under lvl 40 / non high end?

[tall obsidian]

THANK U FOR THAT MODE IS REALLY COOL !

[zealous ether]

why is the right half side of the dc map basically 0 activities and shit going on, unlike the left?

[true acorn]

Does this mean, that if i do Wall Street and kill James, its a guaranteed drop?

[midnight ibex]

can i get the dark winter by clearing landmarks in the DZ?

[visual kestrel]

I guess you'll get it on a first run of the story

[visual kestrel]

Pretty much, but if the targeted loot is SMG, might increased the chance to get it

[valid bronze]

Just run it on another character if you have one lvl 40

[cursive birch]

How do I access the PTS?

[storm river]

no

[storm river]

there should be a separate game option in your ubisoft connect library

[cursive birch]

Oh gotct

Gotcha

[supple maple]

I got a problem, i cant join to anyone and cant invite, it says local player cant join, does anyone know why?

[onyx tangle]

Yo whats the best way to level my expertise?

[lavish fox]

level 22 getting to level 30 in like 3-4 hours do able?

[hallow raptor]

Current level?

[onyx tangle]

@hallow raptor I’m SHD 1k expertise 3 tho…

[hallow raptor]

Hmmmm if your level was higher I’d say leveling an alt for watch points to buy mods and deconstruct to donate printer filament…. Probably just wear different pieces and weapons to up their proficiency while getting as much xp as possible….

[kind cove]

Do we know when next season roughly drops?

[narrow matrix]

Run countdown and target loot the weapons and brandsets… weapons are fastest since it only takes 20 to expertise that weapon

Brandsets and gearsets take 100 items each and

Named items take 20 but shouldn’t be your priority as hunters rng named items

Donate your receiver components and protective fabric to exotic items and dz named items… if it’s an item you think you will use save that aside and donate to something else

Alternatively to level named weapons and exotic weapons faster run them on your build and you will gain xp for them

The one in your hand will receive more xp tho

Don’t waste your printer filament it is not worth it if you’re not doing a WONY run it’s such a waste of time since you need them for expertising stuff, crafting

Also switch your skills once they become proficient

Your specialization as well

Imo the worst skill to expertise is cluster mines and oxi Chem cause at skill tier 0 they don’t do shit 😂

[fast junco]

I like that expertise pushes you into different builds to speed up the process

I've found quite a few that in like

[hallow plume]

can someone explain to me why im stuck in zoo story mode

it said completed and top right showing the world is on heroic

[pliant obsidian]

You have to do it on Story mode, it becomes available during invasion so you can do it out of story mode which is why it says completed, but still you have to complete story mode to be able to select other difficulties outside of the invasion.

[little parrot]

for the PTS, does it automatically bring my main character over or do i have to make a new one for the PTS. at the moment it just asks me about if i want to start from D.C or skip to new york.

[bronze berry]

Create a new character

[little parrot]

Ok. doesnt matter what i choose?

Ah nevermind thanks

[shy beacon]

I have all my charecters on PTS

[little parrot]

Yeah realised that. I know of course it’s the pts but I think I found a bug already the first time I tried playing descent lol. I’m sure the devs will fix it and maybe other players had it too

[nimble spruce]

There are a number of known bugs, yeah

[little parrot]

Of course

[tiny stump]

i got locked behind a door to the next room when the other players went in first

[little parrot]

Damn

[tiny stump]

had to quit the run

[little parrot]

How different is it without any SHD tech or your builds?

[tiny stump]

not so different that it feels like a different game

its not jarring or like feel out of place

[little parrot]

Ah ok

[shy beacon]

guys, where we can leave feadback about descent mode? cant find

[nimble spruce]

need to pick the PTS role in #557396261662097409 to see the feedback area

[shy beacon]

yeah I picked it, but only see 1 channel with PTS news..ohh seems like new discord funcions xd thanks unusual discord channel. Seems Ive found it, thx again

[nimble spruce]

yeah it's a forum-type layout in there

[muted sable]

Is there any point to doing the last floor on Summit on Legendary? Was planning on trying it, want to make sure I'm not just wasting time though.

[plain plume]

apparently you only get a mask for completing it on legendary might be something else but not sure

[thorny swallow]

Hunters have a higher chance at dropping named items

and greater rolls

[muted sable]

Ah right. So no Bighorn from the Hunters then?
Might do it for the mask still.

[thorny swallow]

yes bighorn too

legendary content drops bighorn

[muted sable]

Ok, then I definitely want to do it, lol
Thank you

[noble dragon]

I'm starting to playing again after a super long break (third season of WoNY), and i moved to PC from PS4. Do i miss anything important if i decide to skip the main campaign and go directly to WoNY? like cosmetics or exotics?

[cedar yacht]

No you dont miss anything important

[distant burrow]

is there a possibility to increase mods? or i have to farm them?

[nimble spruce]

have to farm them

[distant burrow]

so it's a case of luck?

[nimble spruce]

yes, although you can increase your chances by playing higher difficulty and more directives (directives only help where mods are the target loot)

eg play legendary summit with loads of directives and you'll soon get a bunch of maxed mods - but obviously that's not an easy thing to do. Probably better to just farm challenging countdown for them

[distant burrow]

that helps me, thank you very much 👍

[light lotus]

can some1 walk me through the recalibration?
i assume u can only recalibrate ONCE?
So for example, if say i have backpack, i can only recalibrate either the main, 1 of the 2 sub-attributes or the talent right?

But strangely, i have a hana-u backpiece today,
i can recalibrate 2 times!
1 -> the talent
1 -> either the main or 1 of the 2 sub attributes~

What gives?
Is it because im proficient in the item?

[crude falcon]

why sometime my dmg show negative dmg at the end of the raid?

[hallow raptor]

Can only recalibrate one attribute or the talent, but you can recalibrate that spot over and over (ie changing the talent multiple times, or changing the one attribute from chd to chc).

Optimization can be done on all attributes, multiple times.

[quasi niche]

Shouldnt be possible normally

Only talent or attribute , never both... doesnt matter if proficient or not

[vale ember]

Has anyone been able to grab the Metal gear gloves from Twitch drops? I’ve been able to get the rest of the gear but not those, they look as claimed in the Twitch drops section but they don’t drop in game

[split bronze]

Is determined still bugged when u get downed?

[frozen pumice]

Returning friend to Division 2, fresh install, his game is incredibly dark/washed out colors. Graphics is updated and just fine. My game looks vivid and way "brighter". What could his issue be?

He has to put his contrast and brightness to 20 (max) to even make it sorta normal, but it's still very weird

[wispy merlin]

does he have hdr turned on

[frozen pumice]

Yes, turned it off, fixed ty

[fallow inlet]

Its Isabel

Hey Kettle, Buddha

[ivory sundial]

What are the chances of getting the bighorn, eagle bearer and ravenous from an airdrop?

[oak talon]

that dmg number is stored as a signed 32 bit integer, meaning that at 2.1-ish billion it will roll over into -2.1 biilion and then count back up from -2.1e9 back to 0, and there are many ways that break it aswell and make it over report especially when weakpoint esplosions damage weakpoints on enemies but also a few dozen other ways.

[crude falcon]

oh nice information

so i just wonder why i can't reach 2bil dmg in countdown

so if i get negative number => i reach the 2bil dmg

this kinda sad, it prove FAL isn't great with striker build, usually it only reach around 1.5bil~1.7bil

[oak talon]

the dz supply drops dont have an increased chance at the those exotics as far as is currently known, so basically the same as any other thing that awards loot

[oak talon]

yeah, and you can also guess at the full total by doing 2.1e09 minus negative number you got, to kinda back calculate to your real number,
but also there are many ways that it breaks, and shouldnt be trusted especially in true sons and outcast missions, where it bugs out the most

[fallow inlet]

Hey IKia, Rakey

hey wheres the pts for div2

[ivory sundial]

Hi saph

[void blaze]

hello im a returning player and wanted to have some advice and guideline for progressing if someone have the time to help me that will be great i will be in group voice 1 🙂

[crude falcon]

what is this point beside my SHD level ?

[dawn vortex]

Does anyone know what backpack this is?

[nimble spruce]

commendation score/rank

[ivory sundial]

What is the drop percentage for eagle bear and etc in dz?

[nimble spruce]

the figure I keep seeing quoted is something like 0.016%, but I don't know the source

'pretty damn low' seems to match people's experience, at least

[hallow plume]

yea

it better to the raid

[weak tangle]

Anyone else having problems with countdown?

[hallow plume]

CD always has problem now

[sick beacon]

what do proficiency's do?

[hallow raptor]

Hey Saph

[scarlet maple]

whats your fastest way of leveling up expertise? i donated all my filament, fabric and component bc donating equipment no longer seems to level as fast as it used to ?

[scarlet maple]

if you hit level 10 on a weapon you become proficient with it, and it lets you "upgrade" it . Eg: weapons get +1% bonus dmg/ expertise level or you get +1% armor/ex lv (expertise xp is gained by leveling up equipment). Its worth it IMO, bc you can get +20% armor, +20%skill dmg and/or +20% weapon dmg (or all at the same time)

[steady perch]

I do countdown, junk all the crap keep the goods and I would do guns first since they don't take much to be fully expertised. Additionally, you can easily fully max improvised gear.

I ended at expertised 11 at around 2 month's time by just casually farming gears for builds and not even for expertise

[arctic tusk]

how does determined work now?

[cedar schooner]

1st hit headshot procs the talent, second shot burns the talent whether headshot or body shot and 3rd shot procs the talent again. So forth and so on.

[dull pasture]

is a dtooc C7 with a recalibrated talent good enough to fulfill any need for an AR that I want?

[cedar schooner]

Basically. There’s better weapons but if you like the C7 yes

[crude falcon]

i see somewhere there is a Sharpshooter icon Arm patch, anyone know how to get it ?

[dull pasture]

I don't like other ARs enough to regrind for a fully optimized AR again lol. Put it that way

[cedar schooner]

Well basically if you find a good Famas keep it I guess lol

[arctic tusk]

thanks. sorry for the late reply

[cedar schooner]

No problem lol. Just hope that made sense it’s a little weird to explain.

[arctic tusk]

nah i think i understood it. from what i saw it gives a charge when i get a headshot and uses it if i land another. not quite as good but still usable

[rain nova]

Should i run heart breaker using the bag and chest or should i use coyotes mask a chest with obliverate and the rest heartbraker

[arctic tusk]

i feel like it makes Relic, i dont wanna say useless, but not as, viable?

[cedar schooner]

Heartbreaker chest is best in slot. For red heartbreaker, the best config is 4pc w/chest, coyotes, and ceska bag with vigilance.

[thorny swallow]

relics base weapon is a g28 so unfortunately it's useless with or without determined

[cedar schooner]

It was never viable lol.

[arctic tusk]

it was fun for like, speedruns

wouldnt say i take it into raids but i was able to do heroic at least for a bit, before nerf

[rain nova]

If you mean red as in red core i run blue on all my heartbreaker pieces

[scarlet maple]

yea well same but im stuck at lv 12 as i am proficient with 3/4 of all weapons and most brand/gear sets. So what should be my next move?

[fast junco]

Hb gives enough bonus armor without blues, so I'd suggest red cores

[rain nova]

Ok

I was thinking the same thing buy kinda wanted to be like a tank dps

[cedar schooner]

And the bonus damage from vigilance combined with the near guarenteed 100% uptime with heartbreaker is hard to pass up

[fast junco]

Tank dps is an oxymoron

Damage is the best way to increase survivability

If damage is too low then the enemies have more time to shoot you

[cedar schooner]

I mean there’s viable hybrids…

[fast junco]

Kinda, but they're not really tanks or dps

You're just a meh tank and a bad dps

It can be run but I'm not really a fan

[cedar schooner]

Yeah it’s better for solo play

[fast junco]

I avoid armor cores outside of raid tank and pvp personally

[arctic tusk]

i have white death with dtooc, and modified it for determined before the nerf. you guys suggest something else?

[cedar schooner]

Yeah it’s a preference thing though, you have to be more careful running red builds. Red/blue hybrids are more forgiving, more for heartbreaker, but other configurations have synergy

[fast junco]

I feel like 15% weapon damage is better than 170k armor, because enemies deal well over 170k per shot

[cedar schooner]

That’s why if you’re running a single armor core it’s useless. But with something like heartbreaker, it increases your bonus armor gain as well. Armor cords by themselves are useless.

[fast junco]

Well it scales

So 30% lost for 340k

45% lost for 510k

So on and so forth

[cedar schooner]

Yeah but your getting worse returns on your weapon damage anyway

[fast junco]

I disagree

[cedar schooner]

No it’s literally how it’s calculated. You are actually getting less the more you add. Whether it makes armor better or worse is a different argument though ofc.

[fast junco]

I'd rather kill enemies 15% faster (I know that number isn't accurate do to the whole damage formula) than take 30% of a bullet extra to die

[fast junco]

Not disagreeing with the math, just the way it affects gameplay

[cedar schooner]

It only works like that in a bubble, when you add potential regen, armor on kill, and percent based bonus armor it starts to add a lot more value

[fast junco]

Your right but personally I don't find it equals out most the time

Enemies deal so much damage that other than armor on kill I don't find much armor/regen useful

[cedar schooner]

It depends on play style. You’re probably going to clear a mission faster than a hybrid build would, except the hybrid build gets to make more mistakes than you do. Like I say though it’s build dependent. Putting blue cores on a build that doesn’t utilize them is pointless.

[hazy belfry]

is there a guide to the regulus somehwere in here

[steady perch]

Tryout new builds that has the weapons, skills or brand, sets that you haven't touch a lot

[fast junco]

Beat IH once, then you get 2 projects, turn in base materials and FI and FB pieces, you'll likely have to run the raid another time either on another character or in the following week for enough to finish the projects, then there's another stage where you donate high end pieces, then one more clear + opening final chest for all the parts

Then craft

Should be a 2-3 week process

[hazy belfry]

i didnt get the projects

is it because i joined late

[fast junco]

Was it discovery?

[hazy belfry]

yes

do i have to do it solo?

[hallow raptor]

Has to be normal not available on discovery

[hazy belfry]

oh

can i do it this week still since ive already done one raid

[fast junco]

Normal and discovery are separate, so you should be able to do it this week

[hallow raptor]

Only the final project (getting the parts) has to be a fresh run

[hazy belfry]

great thank you

[zealous ether]

Day 46826 of asking if someone has got a solution for this

[main briar]

looks like one of you has neutral lighting toggled, that's the only thing I can think of that would affect in-game lighting

[zealous ether]

read ur name

[main briar]

no.

[zealous ether]

exactly

[main briar]

wow sorry for trying to help i guess

[muted sable]

This is a weird question to ask, but if I target assault rifles, and fight a legendary boss in Summit, would that give me a better chance to get Bighorn?

[fast junco]

Well that's certainly a way to respond to people trying to help

[zealous ether]

i mean, i'lld have said no anyway

[steady perch]

It should

[hallow raptor]

Drops from legendary bosses so….

[steady perch]

Or you can be me and get Acosta Go Bag while trying to farm Memento

[muted sable]

Well, the boss has targeted loot as an additional drop iirc, so if the loot is an assault rifle, with around 5%-10% drop chance to drop (not sure if Bighorn is an extra drop on top), that in theory would increase the chance?

[fast junco]

As said before it should work

[steady perch]

The chance of dropping exotic wouldn't change, but the chance of getting exotics from AR groups should increase

[fast junco]

What's the issue you're looking to solve

[main briar]

well, it won't hurt your chances, but it might not help either since bighorn's an exclusive-source drop which won't get modified by targeted loot if I'm not mistaken

[zealous ether]

The crushed blacks

[muted sable]

Ok, thank you, that actually helps explains the whole thing with it

[fast junco]

What...

[zealous ether]

Yes im set on full dynamic range in nvidia, no its not ingame settings, its not dx9-11, its not monitor settings, it only happens in div2

[zealous ether]

colors

[main briar]

don't know why you expect people to help given how you plan on answering any suggestions that come your way tbh

[zealous ether]

im laying out what ive tried so i dont have to go trough the 'basic' suggestions every damn time

[fast junco]

Don't bite the hand that feeds

[main briar]

there any way to contact the devs outside of submitting a ticket through their support site? are they active on socials like reddit or something?

cause the people who answer their tickets literally only ever do copy-paste responses, so the support portal is basically useless

[fast junco]

Welcome to ubisoft support, but as far as I know there's no good way to contact them

[nimble spruce]

devs occasionally reply to people's questions on twitter, but that's the only place I've seen them (apart from very very rare appearances here when they want something)

[main briar]

gah

[nimble spruce]

there are other ubisoft official report people on the other discord but they also tend to go for copy-paste type replies

haha

it won't let me link the official ubisoft discord server...

[true siren]

yeah, noted

[main briar]

guess i'm just gonna have to create a twitter account and dm the community manager, then

[fast junco]

I'm sorry it's come to that, good luck wading through that cesspool

[main briar]

lmao, not looking forward to that

although if anyone here already has a twitter acc and wants to do me a favour, i could just write up a bug report and someone else could dm them - it's not a personal issue so they wouldn't need to hear back from me specifically

[zealous ether]

chances are its gonna get fixed in a year or two

patience is key

[fast junco]

That's funny

[main briar]

bruuh

[muted sable]

Update on this, no idea if it's placebo or a very funny coincidence, finally got it after setting targeted loot to that and faced floor 10 boss on Legendary. Thank you again

[main briar]

glad to hear, enjoy the new wall decoration!

[narrow kraken]

is the named wyvern holster dz only ?

[fast junco]

Yeah, and I think its in a dz shop rn

[narrow kraken]

no dz coins

[fast junco]

L

You could grind level 30 dz for resources

[zealous ether]

is it claws out?

[narrow kraken]

i mean i really dont care about dz its full of people what never shower and try hard it for nothing

[fast junco]

Level 30 dz is empty

Hence why I suggested it

Just deconstruct everything

[zealous ether]

FUUUUK

I NEED DAT ONE

[fast junco]

It has chc

[zealous ether]

ikr

better than skill haste one i got lol

[supple swift]

hsd or nothing

[fast junco]

[fast junco]

Then again DCH exists

[dull sun]

What should I do https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inaDuGdok0s

[muted sable]

Is it not possible to dismantle/donate the level 1 variants of Lullaby and Ruthless?

[heavy lake]

does anyone know what stronghold will be invaded next week?

[dull sun]

district union arena ? edit: idk

[silent plaza]

hey guys anyone know how the twitch drops work? do ineed to follow the streamer or w/e in ordeer to get the apperal or just watch for like a hour

[fast junco]

Twitch explains the system when you open the drops menu

[proper vault]

To earn the commendation that requires completing all Summit challenges at least once, does it need to be in one ascent?

[silent plaza]

i got the shirt and hat i claimed it do i just need to wait for it to show up in my apparel or do i need to like go to my mail@fast junco

[opaque moss]

prob district arena if I had to guess

[kindred pine]

Is there really no other way to get Lullaby without getting the deluxe pack?

[cedar yacht]

Basically if you really want that gun (Sweet Dreams is the same gun).

[kindred pine]

Does it show up seperately on the wall?

[cedar yacht]

Idk about that. But you can probably look it up.

[kindred pine]

I read somewhere you can convert a sweet dreams to a lullaby?

[cedar yacht]

thats if you have the blueprint from deluxe pack

you get a level 1 version of it.

[kindred pine]

:\

[thorn hedge]

Bunger

[kindred pine]

I've read on discord there is a spot for it on the wall apparently

It like the only item actually I'm missing and I bought the ultimate pack you would think the deluxe weapon would be included, but only the ruthless one was

[cedar yacht]

yeah

[muted sable]

Yeah, it and Ruthless have unique spots on the wall

[cedar yacht]

well its upto you if you want to buy the pack for the collection.

[kindred pine]

If you bought the ultimate you should get it

[cedar yacht]

[brittle briar]

I had a friend help me connect my accounts today and already claimed the Twitch drops but haven't received any in game yet

[cunning cosmos]

have i been farming catharsis wrong? is there a bp i need to grab somewhere?

on the spreadsheet is says for every other exotic to just "target loot" but this one mentions a blueprint

[wispy merlin]

yeah the exotics after tu15 they forgot to add to the general loot pool, so you have to get lucky with exotic caches

[cunning cosmos]

holy shit tysm for letting me know LOL, i have down around 75 countdown runs in the past week with 8 coyote drops and 1 vile wondering why cartharsis wouldnt drop

[fast junco]

As long as your account is connected you'll get it eventually

[uneven moat]

hey guys havent played it a bit, use to get good fps 80-140ish but now im hovering around 55-70. I havent played in about a year and ive only increased the amount of ram ive had. My settings havent changed either except maybe the DirectX version. (3600x, rx5700xt)

[weary siren]

can the ninjabike backback drop in DZ rn?

[fast junco]

If you've earned it in the season pass it should

But it's not good

[cosmic peak]

Is there a decent returning player guide out there that isn't just rinse repeat countdown? Reached 40 when Warlords came out then stopped. Logged back in and feel lost.

[heady stirrup]

Does anyone know if you’re able to transfer a character to another PC?

[solid torrent]

anyone else have any tricks to the get the police 686 magnum replica blueprint besides control points at level 3

[fast junco]

That's the only way to get it

Every control point gives a random blueprint so every time you complete on the chances to get it increase

Plus you should probably get all your blueprints anyway

[narrow kraken]

Does anyone know how much extra xp U get for being a Sheppard

And what does experience boost received mean

[weary siren]

ye I am looking for an extra backpack. I've got plenty of mementos but no ninja. weird

[oak talon]

if you mean using the same account on a different pc, then yes, everything is stored serverside so aslong you log into the same account you will have all your characters,
if you mean moving characters between separate logins, then no that isnt possible

[jade summit]

Is there a place that has every, and I mean EVERY, piece of music from the soundtrack for this game? I don't mean like the official soundtrack on YT but like songs that are really hard to find like this compressed version of the Rogue Agent Encounter theme I found that started playing in the Summit or Patriots and Traitors.

[heady stirrup]

Well it’s the same account, just logged in on a different computer

[oak talon]

yeah, you can play on multiple pc's and you will have the same chars, its all stored serverside, even most of the settings carry over except the graphic settings

[heady stirrup]

Good to know, thank you

[spiral fable]

Any tips on completing the "Turned to Stone" objective for the Gunner Specialization? My aim isn't as accurate as I'd like it to be, so it has been challenging trying to break all the armor without killing the Basilisk first.

[fast junco]

Is that the big helicopter thing?

[inner tendon]

Basilisk is the Outcast heavy in Roosevelt Island.
he has more armour plates than you might think.

[fast junco]

Ah my bad

[spiral fable]

It's just difficult aiming at the specific pieces to break them, even when he's not moving.

[inner tendon]

This is a terrible idea, but back before when it first dropped, I crafted the weakest pistol I could find, then slowly plinked away at it until it all came off.

[fast junco]

I'd probably just demolisher firefly him

[spiral fable]

I'll give the pistol a shot. I think I tried that a while back though, and ended up killing him before all the armor pieces broke from accidentally missing the armor.

[fast junco]

Like I said use demolisher firefly

It'll break armor pieces

So shoot off the biggest ones then firefly

[spiral fable]

I'll give that a go as well. Thank you!

[nimble spruce]

Check youtube, there's a tactic involving getting him stuck then pumping him full of oxidiser that might work for you. I've heard explosives (eg demo grenade launcher) can also work but not for everyone.

[spiral fable]

I will do that, thank you!

[oak talon]

demolisher firefly wont even target a outcast heavy, it targets weakpoints, they have none, also even on other faction heavies that it does target, it doesnt break armour plates

[warm lake]

anyone got any advice on where to begin getting higher level gear and such? I’m playing again after years and i skipped to the lvl 30 and finished the campaign and then finished the manhunts that are available. Any guide able to help me decide what to do next?

[nimble spruce]

There's a spreadsheet pinned in #td2-build-advice with a bunch of good builds, I'd recommend putting some of those together and moving up the world difficulty levels

For gear farming, countdown (ideally at challenging difficulty) is difficult to beat

[visual plaza]

I still have not received the Expertise Compensation Cache even though my stash/inventory had space at the time it was promised to be dropped.
Contact Ubi support many times, but they have no idea or are not able to provide any concrete resolution.
This was addressed by Morten on the 27th Feb Special Report. But now it's April and there is no indication or support received about this.
Can anyone suggest or recommend anything?

[knotty plinth]

Yeah you're probably not getting it

[nimble spruce]

I'd recommend lowering your expectations, if you haven't got it by now you're not likely to. Plus in the intervening time you can just farm all that stuff.

[visual plaza]

😭

[dusty rampart]

howdy. thinking about coming back to play div 2. any recommedations how how to approach?

[nimble spruce]

how far did you get previously?

[dusty rampart]

ive got one boosted char i was ONLY doing new york stuff. and one i was leveling myself at 25.

[serene hatch]

try to get that nice ninjabike as soon as u can and make a fun build what u like, after that just run n gun n fun, this is the best thing u can do now imo

[dusty rampart]

ninjabike?

[opaque moss]

exotic backpack if I'm not mistaken

[serene hatch]

ninjabike exotic backpack...

[dusty rampart]

tyu

[nimble spruce]

depending on how much you remember, I'd probably either continue the boosted character or start a new one, get through NY to reach the real endgame

[ancient barn]

I play The Division 2 on Geforce Now, anyone know how can I play the PTS with cloud gaming?

[nimble spruce]

probably not possible, even steam players don't have access to the PTS

[ancient barn]

😢

[nimble spruce]

just have to be patient, play it when it releases in a month or so (hopefully minus most of the bugs)

[ancient barn]

thanx man

[craggy swift]

can someone give me password for pts please?

[thick pond]

So came back to divison 2 not long ago, what is the best place to farm gear - is it still summit?

[nimble spruce]

countdown is now the best place - challenging difficulty (which is different to open-world challenging) is best unless you have a very well-optimised build.

[hazy belfry]

do you have any tips on doing ih raid normal solo

im struggling with the amount of enemies

[nimble spruce]

...pretty sure it's impossible to complete solo on Normal

clearing the first boss can be done using specific tactics and a certain amount of luck (see youtube) but then you've got to somehow turn three keys simultaneously in the next corridor

[hazy belfry]

oh

[strange folio]

can you get coyote mask from countdown drops?

[hazy belfry]

yes

[strange folio]

ty

[crude falcon]

i see many people say Challenging Counter > Heroic countdown, due to faster time clear ?

[proper vault]

To earn the commendation that requires completing all Summit challenges at least once, does it need to be in one ascent?

[worldly fjord]

loot quality is pretty much the same. but in heroic the NPCs are way too tanky

[inner tendon]

To be specific: Challenging Countdown has a kind of "challenging +" tier loot, so it's basically Heroic without the added difficulty.

[quasi niche]

Nope

Can do it on different days even

If thats what you mean

[crude falcon]

jesus, i play the game wrong

[inner tendon]

Hey we all learn somehow.
when I first started, I'd refill at every ammo box because I thought I'd run out like in div1.

[crude falcon]

tbh, this should be a bug, no ?

[inner tendon]

I think it's a quirk of it scaling to 8 players, I wouldn't expect a patch.

[thorn hedge]

its 100% a quirk

[nimble spruce]

the main advantage of heroic over challenging when it comes to countdown is the additional increase in coins - but that's only applicable if you successfully extract, and that's only likely to happen if the entire team has pretty decent builds and knows how to use them. On challenging, a few strong players can carry a whole team.

[distant walrus]

Hence why I'm all good for challenging then risking a heroic and time

[untold mauve]

Why do so many noobs run striker drone and assault turret in cd

[hallow raptor]

I believe you answered your own question

[proper vault]

It was, ty

[thick pond]

been farming for busy bee in countdown for like 3 hours.. wtf is this

havent even gotten a single exotic

[little thunder]

just got to level 30 - how do I increase the tier?

[hallow raptor]

Completing 2 invaded (red) missions and the associated stronghold will move you up one world tier. After completing all 6 missions and 3 strongholds you will be on world tier 4 and open up tidal basin stronghold, completing that will get you to world tier 5

[little thunder]

Ah thank you

[muted sable]

Is it possible to get the 13% Protection From Elites, or is 12% the highest?

[tulip fiber]

Can get 13. Just RNG.

[nimble spruce]

13% is highest but anecdotally extremely rare - I have over 6k shd (without shd farming) and only ever had two of these drop, others say the same (unles you explicitly farm for gear mods on legendary difficulty, eg summit)

[kind cove]

What does the status effect stat actually do?

Duration or damage?

[cedar yacht]

Duration and Damage ie. Fire DoT and last longer.

[kind cove]

Same applies to the new exotic I assume?

[cedar yacht]

I dont believe it effects exotics because scorpio debuff doesnt scale with status effect unless Im wrong

[kind cove]

I’ll see if any videos showcase it

[fallow inlet]

Hey Rivens,Buddha

[wintry geyser]

Is there a level cap currently for descent?

Seems pointing toward infinity, without cap

[narrow kraken]

how i can get this

[ivory sundial]

You open key boxes and kill the bosses in the IH raid

[oak talon]

specifically the bosses on the first clear of that week, resets on tuesdays

[narrow kraken]

if i dont finish the project i need to do it all over again ?

[kind cove]

No cap and never will be a cap

[narrow kraken]

As soon as i launch td2 my game loses 80% of its color

[narrow kraken]

I think this is with all color

but when i took the picture i was in the game -> so for me it looked like there was barely any color

[wintry geyser]

Thank you mate

[narrow kraken]

Anyone know how to fix?

[wintry geyser]

Is there anyone having issue with the twitch drop of gloves? Like I can’t find the gloves anywhere in game. Are they bugged

[hallow raptor]

No, you complete it as you go. The projects don’t “reset”.

[nimble spruce]

I've seen reports that they're dropping as firewall gloves instead, so yeah - a known bug

[wintry geyser]

Aight good to know, thank you. Makes sense since I got two exact same copies of those firewall gloves lol

[olive crag]

Does the Scorpio drop on Countdown? Been doing countless of games on challenging, all im getting is sweet dreams 🥲

[nimble spruce]

yes it does

try farming countdown for sweet dreams instead

[olive crag]

If i only could choose to do that

[crude falcon]

what is the best way to farm field recon data ? Control point / DZ ?

[oak talon]

the boss drops reset weekly, so you need to wait till next week to get them again on that char, you can do it on a second char this week and account share materials, the project itself never resets or anything like that, it stays till you finish it

[oak talon]

fastest is either by shd watch alt-ing if you are of decent shd lvl,
the other fastest is doing floor 10 in the old xp style, it doesnt give xp anymore but still gives field recon per clear,
but the general non cheese ways are indeed cp's and dz landmark farming

[crude falcon]

don't wanna smell like cheese so i guess gonna stick with DZ/CP

[nimble spruce]

DZ prob fastest if you can run in a group, since enemies don't scale to group size in DZ so you can power through landmarks really fast

[crimson garnet]

Does anyone know if I have to wait until reset to get the regulus parts or if I can just do the raid again after already having it completed this week

[nimble spruce]

wait for reset

the parts drop along with boss loot (well, excluding the 5th part), and you only get that on the first clear of the week

[crimson garnet]

Ah ok thanks

[olive crag]

Does vile drop on countdown?

[mortal dagger]

It can yeah, it's not exclusive to any one mode, just target masks and pray to RNGesus

[olive crag]

Alright, thanks. Ill try go for it after i get the scorpio

[mortal dagger]

Going for that CC spread build 😎

[warm lake]

can anyone help me decipher some of this? is the first bullet point a list of gear sets? and what is DtOOC?

[narrow matrix]

The first bullet is brandsets not gearsets

So it’s it’s saying to have 3 pieces of providence

1 piece of fenris for 10% assault rifle damage

1 piece of grupo for 15% critical hit damage

1 piece fox prayers for 8% dttoc or damage to targets out of cover (think of it as a damage increase) and 10% rifle damage

3 pieces of providence gives you 10% headshot damage
10% critical hit chance
15% critical hit damage

Also if you’re running those skills in particular listed run companion on backpack not composure

[warm lake]

ohhhh this was a huge help, tysm (: @narrow matrix

[kindred pine]

How to I reconfigure the level 1 ruthless I got from the ultimate edition? I go into the crafting area and it doesn't show up as allowing it saying it needs a score of 250+

[nimble spruce]

you can't reconfigure the level 1 one, you need a lvl 30 or higher Merciless (random drop) which you can then reconfigure into a Ruthless. The guns are functionally identical though, so it's just a cosmetic change

[kindred pine]

I think it still has a spot on the wall which bugs me

[narrow kraken]

Hi all. Is the level 10 summit field recon data farm still working?

[olive crag]

TIL you can buy exotic cases for countdown tokens... 2k well spent

[rain nova]

For a hunters fury build which is better rock and roll or scorpio

[cedar schooner]

Scorpio. RnRs only purpose is passing butter, I mean building stacks.

[rain nova]

Passing butter?

So your saying its not good for dmg?

[valid bronze]

I hope this isn't a site where you buy builds

[valid bronze]

Yes

[narrow kraken]

Thanks. I'll start it now

[warm lake]

no, its just a list of builds and what they're good at doing.. helping me figure out what to farm for

[bronze viper]

Hey. I'm new to game so I'm looking for anyone that can help me understand the game better. My English not so good and I can't understand about gears etc. If you want to help me add me.
My psn is: DaRk_WitcheR_87
Thanks you

[fast junco]

I thought that was patched when the xp was?

[oak talon]

the xp part is fixed, which was the part that really mattered, each old xp style reset on a boss floor still gives a targeted and field recon, just no xp after the first one.

[thorn hedge]

i personally choose not to exploit things

[clever ocean]

that's why you're still an eevee

instead of a jolteon, flareon or vapo

[narrow kraken]

Hey guys I just saw the Division day post, is season 5 looking promising or just gonna be a let down type of thing? I was interested by the New endgame structure line.

[ancient pebble]

Only way to know is to wait and find out

[inner tendon]

There's a PTS on right now that's showing off the new rogue-lite mode, it's a lot of fun.
From what we've seen, the rest of it looks pretty good too.

[narrow kraken]

is the PTS still live?

[inner tendon]

new Story DLC coming in Season 4 of Year 5 is the big one for me. I'm hoping for a new WONY.

[narrow kraken]

Aw

I saw that with the cleaners being the main point, correct?

[inner tendon]

I don't know for sure, but we are getting a Cleaners Incursion, which is....interesting for div2.

and the DLC is likely set in Brooklyn.

[cedar yacht]

👀

[narrow kraken]

mhm that seems like it would be cool

[ancient pebble]

I just dont want there to be lvl 50

[ancient pebble]

HOLY SHIT YEEES

[narrow kraken]

What about the new endgame? I dont like how it is right now with the whole like ohhh level up forever type of thing

[ancient pebble]

THATS THE BEST DESIGNED AREA FROM DIV1

[inner tendon]

The image they used in the live-stream was of the Brooklyn Bridge.
If there's a lvl 50, I would bet that SHD level comes into it some way.

[ancient pebble]

LETS GO

[inner tendon]

We know nothing, only that there's a "new endgame".

[narrow kraken]

Mhmm

[ancient pebble]

Meaning maybe new raid

I hope we get more legendary missions

[narrow kraken]

That is most likely not the right way

they would word that

[ancient pebble]

Its boring that they are restricted to strongholds

I know certain missions that would be worse than current legendary strongholds

[inner tendon]

I'm ingame with it, so odds are good!

new Incursion, unsure about a new Raid.

[narrow kraken]

I deleted the game a month back to make room for another game

is it a sub download or apart of main download

[ancient pebble]

Incursions > raids

[inner tendon]

the PTS is an entirely fresh download.

or copying over the files if you have the main one and renaming something.

[narrow kraken]

is it a enroll pts or open to all?

[inner tendon]

open.

Year 5 content appears to start in June, if you want to wait.

the PTS main new feature is the rogue-lite mode "Descent".

[narrow kraken]

aka EFT type of mode?

from what I understand

[inner tendon]

Not a term I'm familiar with.

[narrow kraken]

Escape from Tarkov as in just the style of that game

[ancient pebble]

The term rogue-lite doesnt really explain much

[narrow kraken]

+1

[ancient pebble]

Like whats that mean

[narrow kraken]

I think it means your always rouge in a sense or that pvp is always enabled?

[inner tendon]

It does if you know what it is already hah.
so rogue was a game a long time ago, refers to when you die, restarting all over again.
Rogue-lite means that when you restart, you can keep certain permanent bonuses.

[narrow kraken]

Oh I see like you loose your loudout but not your levels or skill in a sense?

[inner tendon]

You take nothing in there at all. No skills, no guns, no SHD watch bonus.

Descent is a simulation. You can get weird weapon and stat combos, stacking them up to be fairly OP.

[narrow kraken]

Oh

Oh its like a weird comparison "The binding of isaac"?

is it like all random

[inner tendon]

Kinda! That's a rogue-lite, if you can keep bonuses.

[narrow kraken]

I see lol

that makes more sense

is heartland the EFT type game?

[inner tendon]

For that mode, you can kinda buy upgrades over time, like having more medkits, extra weapon choices, etc.

[ancient pebble]

For some reason rogue doesnt really scratch my mind

[narrow kraken]

I think I got those two confused

[ancient pebble]

Wtf

[inner tendon]

Rogue came out in 1985, might be why you aren't familiar with it.

[ancient pebble]

Yeah im old but not that old

[inner tendon]

I feel that one.

[narrow kraken]

im glad to be 18

[inner tendon]

It's interesting to look into. There's a lot of games in the "roguelike" and "roguelite" genres.
(like being a lot more punishing, lite being more arcade)

Dead Cells is a popular one.

[narrow kraken]

Yes

that one i played that

[inner tendon]

That is a roguelite. Since you keep bonuses over time that you pay for.
e.g. extra weapon choices.

[narrow kraken]

I see

That seems like a fun thing then

Even if you dont improve skill wise you still get better so you can braindead play

[inner tendon]

Wait, small correction. 1980, the publisher release was 1985.

[narrow kraken]

TO download pts does Uplay auto pull the files or do you have to "Redownload" the 80gbs

[inner tendon]

Oh absolutely. It's a very fun game style that a lot of devs have jumped on recently. Even Far Cry added a rogue-lite mode in Far Cry 6.

[narrow kraken]

what mode was that? i just played the story for that

[inner tendon]

You have to redownload, although you can do a tricky thing and copy over the base game, so it just updates.

[narrow kraken]

mhm

[inner tendon]

Vaas Insanity was one of them, there was one for Pagan and for the other guy too.

[narrow kraken]

I see so you just deal with your thread speed and not wifi speed

[narrow kraken]

oh that was awhile ago right?

[inner tendon]

I ran it via uplayplus or whatever it's called.
the stranger things DLC is good if you get a chance.

[narrow kraken]

its based of the show?

uPlay+

wait no

I forgot they renamed to become more professional sounding its Ubisoft+ now

[inner tendon]

It's like Origin, no one calls it the EA app despite it being that for a while now.

Ubisoft Connect doesn't have the same ring to it.

[narrow kraken]

True I still say Orgin and Uplay

For example my name

its easier to say Uplay

[wintry cave]

How do you do the Coney Island ballpark discovery merit? I have ran this mission like 6 times and only found a total of 4 loot boxes...

[craggy osprey]

resupply crates count also and the small bags too

[wintry cave]

I opened a recycle bin and it counted but some of the backpacks on the ground didn't, and I definitely opened some resupply crates and they didn't count, but it seemed to start counting the small loot bags and stuff only after I started tracking the commendation so it might just be bugged and doesn't count unless you are tracking it, Idk

.
When does the ground loot and the loot boxes respawn? I guess I will have to wait for them to respawn to actually finish it.

[nimble spruce]

It's definitely doable without that kind of cheese. Special ammo boxes work too. Just search everywhere.

But the main loot boxes respawn daily so you might be best off waiting until tomorrow

[wintry cave]

Ok, thank you, I'm definitely going to have to wait until tomorrow since I went through it on story so I could do it just that bit quicker by accident because I forgot the merits need to be on hard so I already opened a bunch of stuff on that run lol.

[nimble spruce]

Ah, that would explain it.

[mortal dagger]

Lootables respawn each day I think

[toxic bough]

Hello guys/girls 🙂 is the PTS still Live ? I get error when i try launch i reinstall it twice already ...

[versed pumice]

Current phase might’ve ended

[toxic bough]

where could i find this info ? i try on google but he lost his skills 😄 looks like he doesn''t know everything anymore

[olive crag]

Where does tdi kard custom drop?

[loud saddle]

Dark Zone, as well as named item caches, IIRC.

[cedar schooner]

Basically, manhunt targets too I believe.

[loud saddle]

manhunt targets do drop DZ gear IIRC, but the coding was wrong and it's only like s1 stuff (not sure which season kard is good for) and I could also be wrong but I know there was an issue with them having a very limited target loot range by error
