[olive crag]

Ah dam, alright. Ty

[toxic bough]

is PTS still Live ?

[karmic shuttle]

this is a image of the United Nations Building nyc map in td1

has early plans for the hole dz

includes parts we never got

[tiny stump]

I don't think so. I can't get on it

[stuck frigate]

I see that people boost secondary characters to WONY, complete it, then use the SHD Scavenger points they get for their main account. Is this frowned upon, or is it a legit way of getting some extra materials?

[inner tendon]

What the game seems to frown on is gaining excessive exp fast, WONY takes several hours if you're doing it efficiently, so it's pretty much widely accepted.

[stuck frigate]

Thanks. I don't really want to ''abuse'' the system, but there is some SERIOUS grinding to do for optimization, lol. I guess i'll stick to a single character though, just feels more rewarding that way ^_^

[inner tendon]

It's really not worth doing until you're at several thousand SHD levels anyway.

[dim crag]

Isn't that mostly used for Filaments for Expertise?

[stuck frigate]

Titanium is my endless grind personally, for optimization

Well, SHD, but you use Titanium to craft it.

[inner tendon]

I believe Outcasts drop that more regularly, could be worth focus farming their areas for a while.

[stuck frigate]

Oh, yeah, like bounties from them and stuff, absolutely. and Solar Farm, Loads of titanium there. It's still really slow. 500 for 5 SHD.. 😄

[inner tendon]

Just killing Outcasts themselves drops Titanium too.
You can check which faction drops which thing in your "Resources" tab, Click on the one you want and read the description.
Farming CP's is how I normally top up, no need to waste SHd points on something so easy to obtain.

[stuck frigate]

3? 4? Any checkpoints in specific?

Oh

I meant SHD as in the SHD for optimization, sorry

Everytime I get a scav point it goes into SHD

[inner tendon]

I wouldn't waste too much on optimisation right now. You're better off farming out near god rolls and just topping off the stats that matter.

[stuck frigate]

I probably already invested wayyyy to much, but it's coming to a point where it's not ''that'' much anymore to top off

[noble dragon]

what's the best way to farm credits? and also the best way to farm materials like ceramic ecc...?

[nimble spruce]

just tested and it's working for me

[narrow matrix]

Bounties for credits

Free roam activities for materials as they reward a set of materials, control points offer more but take more time

[quasi niche]

Tomorrow a new event should start I think...you can easily grind for the event currency and then buy material caches with it

[narrow matrix]

That’d be a waste unfortunately… you’d be better off using your shd points for materials and using stars for more lucrative caches like named item caches or season legacy caches

[quasi niche]

How are Season legacy caches better ? They have fixed loot - hotshot / habsburg guard last time f.e. , named caches maybe yeh but you can buy them with countdown credits - cant do that with materials

3 stars for 70 cermaics and 3 other material types imo better than 8 stars for one named item

At least if you have low shd

[thorn hedge]

Legacy can drop syscor

[crude falcon]

about expertise stuff, if lv 10 expertise weapon deal 10% more dmg then lv 1 expertise weapon ? or the main value is less/more than 10% ?

[slate mortar]

guys what does the 3 green bars bellow the settlement mean? how do i get it to 4 bars?

[loud saddle]

upgrade progress

[loud saddle]

for each expertise level you upgrade a weapon to, it'll gain 1% of the BASE weapon dmg to it's total. IIRC

[slate mortar]

but when im at whitehouse it shows 4/4 for both settlements?

[crude falcon]

i hear this just new visual bug, Div2 just being Div2

[loud saddle]

yeah, gonna sya that just sound like a visual bug. you've been around both settlements and nothing left to upgrade?

[slate mortar]

yeah i think i have everything

i see... OCD intensifies

thanks guys!

[fringe swift]

Is descent not live in the PTS atm? I can go to the map marker and ISAC mentions a combat sim but I can't enter the building

[nimble spruce]

go to the other map marker, the one by Summit

[fringe swift]

...I swear...If I missed that and thats why I couldn't access it then I'm getting my glasses double checked. tysm though

[quasi niche]

Which is only really interesting for pvp players (so not myself) ... still dont see the value of legacy/named compared to more than 560+ materials (6 Stars) that you get guaranteed... other options are also a big gamble to get amything useful, ... only understand that if you are high shd, have more than enough materials and just look for that one specific named item with a god roll , or DZ/Yaahl/SysCor gear/weapons

[leaden condor]

Is there a way to prevent crashes in countdown ?

[thorn hedge]

No

[river dove]

i think crashes are related to ubisoft server/connection issues. i can't make any correlation to anything on my system. sometimes i don't crash for a week, other days i crash every 5 minutes

with no changes to my system, nothing in event logs, etc

[clever ocean]

why is mine so dirty

[turbid igloo]

Which hive is the best

[turbid igloo]

Back at the hive meta

[cedar schooner]

Why?

[turbid igloo]

Since my agressive build is progressing my old defender drone + chem launcher was getting old, counting the fact that the chem was a heal one

[foggy needle]

depends entirely on the build, all of them can be great.

[turbid igloo]

Meaning it wouldn't get good with my current build

[turbid igloo]

I'm a agressive build

Which one is good for aggresive builds

How do i say aggresive?

Lord

[foggy needle]

a CQB build then. revive hive then

[turbid igloo]

And for dead zone?

[foggy needle]

for what?

[turbid igloo]

Idk once i get plus i might do DZ

Or some raid

Also @foggy needle how do i say aggresive?

I forgot

[mortal dagger]

Aggressive*

[turbid igloo]

Ty

[mortal dagger]

Revive hive is great for raids

[turbid igloo]

Isn't so much for DZ depending if your friends are defending or not you

Is the stimulant hive the worst one?

[mortal dagger]

It can be good by most players tend to fully finish a person off unless you're down the street and are behind cover you might be to revive yourself in time

Stim hive can be great if you're with friends as it boosts everyone

[turbid igloo]

Is it good solo tho?

[mortal dagger]

For the DZ? Probably, I don't go in there much

For solo PvE the revive hive is better

[turbid igloo]

Ima go stim then

[carmine flicker]

I have never seen a single person use the booster hive. Restorer hive has a purpose: healing builds. Stinger hive is good for pvp bleed builds. Reviver hive is extremely good for all pve content. But booster? What’s that give like melee damage or something or was that before it got even worse into the state it’s in today

[maiden abyss]

it used to give a lot of movement speed

[carmine flicker]

Yeah, then it became what it is now

Even then it wasn’t that great

[clever ocean]

Huh lol

The stim hive is pretty useless

[clever ocean]

I think its like weapom handling and melee damage reduction 😹

[hallow raptor]

Not anymore…

[drowsy dagger]

how do you get the chameleon exotic ?

[valid bronze]

So I was just thinking about how I don't remember if we ever got the last twitch drops from div 2

[fallow inlet]

Hey Eevee, Azurmen32,

[kindred pine]

What the best non exotic pistol?

[void terrace]

What would be a good duo build or set for SMG to AR ranges?

[turbid igloo]

@foggy needle I'VE NEVER BEEN MORE SCARED THAN NOW

I LOST THE FEAR TO SUMMON HUNTERS BUT I FORGOT THEY CAN ONE TAP WITH THE AXE

[foggy needle]

They just wanted to axe you a question

[turbid igloo]

Oh yeah forgot that

[valid bronze]

D50

[valid bronze]

#td2-build-advice

[turbid igloo]

Does weapon damage matters for the crit damage thing?

?

Anybody there?

[lunar osprey]

Booster give you melee dmg, handling and hazard protection, but those are not important
Most important thing of boost hive is, it can remove status effect on you immediately
people run it in pvp if necessary

[turbid igloo]

Booster hive buff when

Give booster some love

[lunar osprey]

Booster WAS give movement speed
booster WAS give weapon damage
I play pvp so i think booster is fine actually, at least it useable at specific situation

[stoic bear]

Fastest way to get exotic components

[turbid igloo]

The hardest difficulty

[stoic bear]

dZ cp or regular cp?

[turbid igloo]

There's no other way it's certified it increases the chances to get duped exotics

Just so you destroy them

There's 2 cp

Which one do you mean

[thorn hedge]

What

[thorn hedge]

Countdown or dz runs

[turbid igloo]

Aw

Shelby got erased from realiry

Reality

[thorn hedge]

I have no idea what you're saying

[turbid igloo]

Forget it

[thorn hedge]

Uhh ok

[slate mortar]

Guys i havent been to the dz, just wanna ask if you get an exotic there, can you turn it into exotic components or do you have to extract first?

[wraith flare]

extract first

[slate mortar]

Ait thanks 🙏

On the same topic, about the exotic components does it drop from dz cp? And do we get to keep it or need to extract as well to save the components?

Is it from the dz cp cache or just randomly looting around?

[cedar yacht]

its added straight into the inventory and in the dz its from the caches you find in landmarks I believe.

[slate mortar]

Ait thanks 🙏

[narrow matrix]

I’d probably say countdown caches are the most reliable in terms of consistency but floor farming and dz cache farming isn’t bad… countdown gives you something to do at least

[slate mortar]

Does this mean they are reverting the convoy exp nerf? Did i misinterpret anything?

What's the reason for reverting? Massive backlash from community? 🤣

[fallow inlet]

Hey Isabel

You try decent yet

[bronze berry]

Hey Saph

Yea, I tried it. But for me the rewards are missing, an actual goal to play the mode. Can't wait to see what the rewards will be and if they give me a reason to actually sink time into this mode.

Have you tried it? What are your thoughts?

[thick pond]

Hi Agents! What is the fastest to progress the season pass? ⚫🐽⚫

[cedar yacht]

Convoys/Open World Farm. Heroic 5 Directives.

[cunning cosmos]

i did like 5 hours of dz landmarks and got like 50 levels, that or i just did like 40 CP3's

[warped osprey]

Anyone know how to get nemesis sniper?

I got the tally from tidal basin already

[dull mortar]

Remaning 3 parts are on invaded steonghold

So you need to wait when it rotates the invaded stronghold

[warped osprey]

is the strongholds invaded?

[dull mortar]

Every weekly reset 3 normal mission + 1 stronghold and tidal basin will be invaded

[warped osprey]

I only see tidal basin invaded

[dull mortar]

Umm just making sure you are atleast in lvl30 World Tier 5 right?

[warped osprey]

I am level 40

[dull mortar]

there shoule be a line marking which stronghold need to be donw in order to access tidal basin

[warped osprey]

shd level 100

[dull mortar]

Or go to main menu-> progression on bottom left -> invaded mission

There should list all 5 currently invaded mission (including the stronghold)

[warped osprey]

is it district union?

[dull mortar]

Yes!

[warped osprey]

does it have to be invaded by black tusk?

[dull mortar]

But you need to clear the3 mission above it to unlock DCU

[dull mortar]

Yes, it must be invaded

[warped osprey]

its says its Hyenas

Meaning I gotta wait another whole week?

[dull mortar]

Can Hold G on map (after seelcting dcu) to toggle the mode between invaded and normal?

[warped osprey]

ah Thank you so much !

[dull mortar]

After you got the DCU nemesis part, you still need from capitol and roosevelt. So atleast 2 week

[warped osprey]

okie

[dull mortar]

After getting all 4 parts, you need to do invaded Grand Washington Hotel and kill the first boss where he will drop the blueprint to craft nemesis

[warped osprey]

ah ok

[dull mortar]

Good luck!

[warped osprey]

Ty!

[turbid igloo]

Can anybody answer this btw

[dull mortar]

I uhhh... I'm no expert in number but your question is a bit confusing to me

What i know Crit dmg is based on your base dmg so if you have low dmg weapon, while crit give bigger number it can be outclassed by high base dmg but low crit. I am talking case like 0 red core but 200 chd vs 4 red core but 50 chd

I'm not good at the maths but its the extreme cases

[oak talon]

define "crit damage thing" and we may be able to help

[dull mortar]

I just noticed cause I died on extraction part of CD

When game says "respawn is restricted" (On all game modes). Does it mean you cannot be revived after bleed out? Or is this CD exclusives?

[oak talon]

CD is unique in that extraction part, as once that final extraction timer starts after completing the main objective, if a player dies (going down and then taking more dmg or timing out while downed), you can not be revived at all by allies,
in raids there is a similar mechanic but tied to each person having limited amounts of revives they can use on others

[turbid igloo]

Crit damage

Like does it affect ut

It

[oak talon]

in normal content like mission you cannot respawn when respawns restricted is active, so you just cant respawn, so you have to wait for revive, or wipe, but can always be revived

[turbid igloo]

Because If it does then i fucked everything up

Because i changed one main attribute

[cedar yacht]

Show build

[turbid igloo]

To armour attribute

[turbid igloo]

Can't rn not at home

[cedar yacht]

bruh

[oak talon]

weapon damage is part of a crit hit, when you dont crit its just wd+twd+otherstats+amps, when you crit its all that +chd

[turbid igloo]

My pistol holder thing (idk what's the name) is the one i changed to armour attribute

It had like 11% of weapon damage

Fucked everything

[cedar yacht]

You can easily farm if you're so worried about you know?

And changing attribute on that holster isnt gonna fuck the whole build

[turbid igloo]

Are you really sure

[cedar yacht]

Positive

again idk your build so

[turbid igloo]

From 1,3M damage on scorpion to 875K

[turbid igloo]

Once i get to home i will show you my build

[cedar yacht]

ok

do that in #td2-build-advice tho

[turbid igloo]

Sure

Or i might dm you the build too

[cedar yacht]

Whatever works for you.

[turbid igloo]

Ngl having a stim hive build is kinda meh

Since what is the point of having a hazardous protection build in pvp

[verbal topaz]

Lol

[carmine flicker]

Someone here certainly hasn’t been in the dz before

[cedar yacht]

Have fun getting destroyed by a foam, fire, bleed, any cc for that mater.

[carmine flicker]

But yeah I never see booster hives, dz or not

[turbid igloo]

I've been on it, i hate PVE players not because of that build they use but because most of them come from behind

Since they know they might get obliterated by a 5000 watch level dude

[cedar yacht]

shd past 1k doesnt matter

[carmine flicker]

Well then you’d realize that haz pro builds in the dz are quite useful

[turbid igloo]

Kind of depending the situation

[carmine flicker]

That’s for all builds in pvp. What you wear depends on what your opponent wears

[turbid igloo]

So the stim hive in dz is the same as getting EMPed by a hunter

I mean

Hunters doesn't let you use abilities

And so does stim users

Since you can't really do shit to them

Fire bleed and etc won't affect them

Damage build with stim hive on dz

Good or meh

Wait

Stim hive is also good because nobody gets high recoil

Meaning most shots from light weapons can be useful on raids

Or dz

[carmine flicker]

An experienced player should be able to control recoil, especially if on pc

The recoil isn’t much in this game so even a new player should have control

[turbid igloo]

Magic

[drowsy dagger]

how do u get the chameleon exotic assault rifle ?

[cedar yacht]

ar targeted loot or exotic caches and roll the dice

[carmine flicker]

Bounties also have a chance of dropping it

[turbid igloo]

Aaron keener cool

[turbid igloo]

I'm still wondering why he appeared at the descent mode trailer

Like he's dead

[oak talon]

descent as a mode is story wise a simulation to train agents, its not the actual keener

[drowsy dagger]

so would bounties in assault rifle targeted areas be best ?

[oak talon]

yes, when that option is available, otherwise farming bounties is the recommended, preferably on heroic, as its a set 7% from the final named chance for cam'leon, and you should be able to do it fast enough to outdo farming targeted in countdown

[turbid igloo]

So it's an AI keener

Imagine isac needing to make a 90% equal keener with actual abilities keener had

[cosmic peak]

Am I better off staying on Hard difficulty until my gear is good enough to easily handle challenging or better off moving up as soon as I can? I can clear challenging stuff, its just slow.

[golden geode]

Thats how i did it anyway moved up one when it felt right

[latent frigate]

im looking for abit more indept guides for the raids, ive done them few times so i know whats going on but i want to know.. pretty much everything xD
anyone know of any good guides for that?

[narrow matrix]

What you clearing? Missions, control points, free roam?

I find free roam to be harder since you run into all kinds of enemies and can be flanked real easily

[versed pumice]

I could help u get one later

[drowsy dagger]

Yh message me when u r on if I'm free we can farm

[versed pumice]

Kk

[cosmic peak]

Anything and everything at the moment. Just returning after stopping 2 weeks or so after WONY launch, so all over the place and a bit lost right now.

Little bit of Summit. Little bit of the Invaded missions for Gunner points. Little bit of target loot farming(backpacks, strikers, hunters, heart). Can't really decide what to build tbh.

[olive crag]

Is there no target loot for ar's and backpacks today? I know countdown exists but still

[inner tendon]

There's not always TL every day for things, since there is now more options than possible TL locations.

[olive crag]

Ah, almost figured. Thanks for confirming

[inner tendon]

Although today Darpa has AR's.

[narrow matrix]

I’d go with a build that can handle anything first then decide later on what best suits my needs…

I think ongoing directive might be a nice fit.

If you wanna clear fast you need a dps build… what skills you using I’ve been running scanner pulse recently and it helps me bc it highlights where enemies are and how many so I can pick the most effective position and know how aggressive I need to be

[cosmic peak]

Reviver hive and shield atm. Although don't really like using the shield so might look at something else.

I prefer to facetank/run & gun rather than play in cover.

[nimble spruce]

Heartbreaker or Hunters Fury then

[versed pumice]

Well it ended today

[noble dragon]

are all shotguns equally viable? or is there a shotgun that is better than all the others?

[main briar]

scorpio, aa-12 if you're using striker or heartbreaker, ksg w/ pummel, m870 if you're using headhunter

[dull mortar]

Thank you!

[noble dragon]

i'm using hunter's fury, any particular recommendation? currently going for a KSG or AA-12, depends which one i drop decent first

[main briar]

of those two? ksg. aa-12 is best used with striker's or heartbreaker

[proper vault]

Found the Snitch, got the shopping cart but it says that only opens in 18h. I'm interested in an item. When it opens will it be there or did the stock reset?

[inner tendon]

The stock is the same all week, the store rotates open and closed.

[main briar]

weekly reset was a few hours ago so if it was something you saw previously it'll be gone by now

[proper vault]

ty, got it

[proper vault]

no, it's still appearing on this website: https://rubenalamina.mx/the-division-weekly-vendor-reset/

[main briar]

ruben's not a god, he can't update instantly upon reset

[proper vault]

btw, do the vendors and Cassie reset their stock at the same time?

[main briar]

yes, all vendors

[proper vault]

aw, ok. I'm interested in the Hana-U kneepads that Cassie has/had. Not sure if they'll still be there when it re-opens in around 18h

[inner tendon]

It's actually kinda amazing that they're still updating after all this time.

[foggy needle]

nope that was her last week stock, it wont be their this week as her stock will get reset.

[main briar]

fortunately for you hana-u pieces are one of the easier ones to farm

[noble dragon]

is Backfire any good? just dropped it from a countdown special cache

[inner tendon]

It's a pretty fun exotic, that requires a specific build to not die from reloading.
Outside of that, it doesn't have a lot of uniqueness.

tl;dr is that you need to build for Hazard Protection (HazPro).
I enjoy using it a lot, but there's more meta options if that is what you're looking for.

[slate mortar]

guys what is the bonus apparel from the RE apparel event? so far i saw leon kennedy shirt, leon kennedy RPD shirt and pants, anything else?

[inner tendon]

This is the official page on the Event from last time.
https://www.ubisoft.com/en-gb/game/the-division/the-division-2/news-updates/4K0hyKXtOvkUwfOMl4BQLv/apparel-event-resident-evil

[slate mortar]

thanks!\

do we get the backpack trophies and arm patches this round?

[inner tendon]

Everything listed.

It's a full re-run of last time. Identical.

[slate mortar]

ait thanks!

[narrow matrix]

Wish there was an Alice outfit from the movies lol

[inner tendon]

Just the one Milla designed herself in 3 though.

they were strange films.

[narrow matrix]

It’s the last 2 that are bad 😭

[inner tendon]

I saw the last one in an actual cinema.
I was the only person there. I don't know why there was 2 Jorah Mormonts.

I mean to be honest, all but 2 (even that wasn't great) were pretty bad.

[sacred edge]

Which was worse the last two movies of that live action tv show they did

[inner tendon]

The first movie where they kill off most of the cast in a hallway with lasers.
But out of those 3, I didn't even see the show. And I watched all of Z-nation.

[narrow matrix]

The live tv show was really good actually people just want too much of the video game adaptation. The last episode was where it went wrong tho

I’d rather see how things happened rather than just be in the apocalypse .. and welcome to raccoon city is just treesh

Zombies talking… gimme a break

They should have done reanimated for this apparel event it would have made more sense

[inner tendon]

I just saw a clip of the TV show where someone is dancing to Dua Lipa.
I might give it a pass

[narrow matrix]

Lol that was funny

That woman is basically the doctor from the movies

[inner tendon]

I'll swap over to #off-topic-discussions before I keep going, I gotta follow the rules too.

[latent spade]

Why is my appearance slot so broken? Dont matter what i equip it just throws the sharpshooter vest on

[fallow inlet]

Hey RIRI

Known bug currently, happens to me with the AB+ vest and the Care Less knee pads

[ionic nymph]

Any way to resolve ? I didn't get the free key or the Leon outfit 😔 when i logged in today. Platform PS4

[slim owl]

[loud saddle]

[slim owl]

alr

[cloud kayak]

In what state will my game be put if I use the boost ? Like SHD tech all collected , side missions done, etc ?

[fallow inlet]

nope youll loose some of it

if your just starting go from beginining

if 2nd or 3rd then jump to wony and mash the motor

[pure charm]

My game is giving me frame drops all of a sudden, I played the game and it was fine before I went to sleep. Now it’s just stuttering with fps drops. Any help?

[frozen pumice]

Can you get the Umbrella Patch in this resident evil event?

[tulip fiber]

Should be the same as last time. Patches and backpack trophies were given out as rewards for the STARS projects.

[carmine aspen]

The Convoy XP not reverted back yet?

[subtle pier]

Hey! Would anyone know how to get this patch on PC?

[cinder shadow]

i constantly getting delta 03 error any ideas what to do
i cant play the game for more than 10 minutes before disconnecting

[subtle pier]

Not yet

[fast junco]

Welcome to division

[carmine aspen]

It was unlocked with the SHIELDS program from Div1, but since the rework of Ubi connect it's not available anymore

[subtle pier]

Ah, rip

Thanks for answering

[carmine aspen]

No worries!

[valid bronze]

When does patch come out to fix convoy xp?

[mortal dagger]

Nobody knows except Massive themselves

[proper vault]

I only have a full-read build and a turret and drone skill damage one. What should I prioritize for my next build, the Eclipse Protocol or or the Future Initiative Healer? (I'm checking both ones on the TD2 spreadsheet)?

[twin glacier]

bluescreen lmg is worth to farm ?

[thorn hedge]

why was i randomly gifted this mask when i logged in

I DIDNT EVEN DO ANYTHING

[loud saddle]

ah yes, that the Nemesis mask, he's a purdy boy ain't he?

[thorn hedge]

am i being threatened

[crude falcon]

free stuff is free

[thorn hedge]

im scared

[loud saddle]

a face only a blind mother could love....

[thorn hedge]

also this is in the clan vendor rn

[thorn hedge]

seriously do you have any idea where it came from

[loud saddle]

honestly I thought it was a completion reward for the sets but I must be wrong if you got it on login.

[thorn hedge]

well i completed the last event so

[loud saddle]

oh, maybe you forgot to claim it back then? and it just auto triggered this time when logging in then

[thorn hedge]

maybe it just auto rewarded me or something?

[thorn hedge]

you cant forget to claim the clear reward

[loud saddle]

my bad, the game servers forgot to claim it for you XD

[thorn hedge]

lmao

could be it idfk

but it sfeels threatening

[thorn hedge]

maybe they stole it from me and regifted it

[loud saddle]

haha, Nemesis is def an ugly brute. maybe they regifted it just to make you look at it again, lol.

[heady stirrup]

did anyone else realize The Summit basically happened because of a satellite that crashed into the roof?

[thorn hedge]

wait theres a random weapon crate in the castle settlement

that gave me a purple

why is it bleeping that wtf

what i was saying is a satellite crashjed into it

[versed pumice]

Decent just roll off explosive for hazz n op the rest

[thorn hedge]

and there was no catastrophic damage

why is it even still standing in the first place

[thorn hedge]

no roll off the armour regen lmfao

[loud saddle]

strong ass building, took a satellite like a champ

[thorn hedge]

some good engineers huh

anyways random weapon crate here

if yall open it tell me what you got

i got an awfull purple model 700

[loud saddle]

I'll have to see when I get home tonight, I'll prolly get a random ass purple pistol

[thorn hedge]

its weird considering that shouldnt be possible since im on challenging

[restive hearth]

aint that nem from resident evil

[thorn hedge]

Idk

[carmine flicker]

Global difficulty doesn’t effect the crates, only drops

[oak talon]

its a world chest, its not just possible but common, it doesnt scale as no world chest scales outside of mission boundries

[thorn hedge]

Oh my bad

[oak talon]

also it was there always, since release, even in the destroyed castle, in the same spot

[restive olive]

hey, i'm trying to stay up-to-date on the division 2's story, but my dad has stopped playing and i'm nowhere near skilled enough to play instead, so can someone give me a rundown on what has happened since the Price of Power season?

dm me to reply

[mortal dagger]

Check out NGN on YouTube, does a fantastic job explaining it all 👌

[restive olive]

actually just found them, thanks!

[mortal dagger]

No problem 👌

[lime night]

i did weekly RES project and it dropped some apparel but i dont know what was it,can somebody check?

[mortal dagger]

Check your apparel menu? There should be a "!" next to whatever category it went into...

[loud saddle]

should be either a backpack dangly or an arm patch

[tame cosmos]

Hi All, is TD2 PTS still available for download? I can't seem to find it in my game library

[lime night]

thats the problem there wasnt "!" @mortal dagger

it dropped something but no clue what

[versed pumice]

Nah it ended #news-and-announcements

[tame cosmos]

Glum... Thanks for replying!

[versed pumice]

Np

[loud saddle]

EDIT: re-reading the post if says it awards a trophy AND a patch, so might be one of each in each category....
well it can only be one of those two categories afaik, there's only 4 arm patches and 7 backpack trophies to cycle through to see if you have any of them.

[lime night]

found it on another char it was this but i dont what is that

[loud saddle]

that's def not a RE related award so I would hope it didn't award you that. that's just your average emote.

[turbid igloo]

@cedar yacht it might take a while to go at my home

I'm on the therapy

[turbid igloo]

I realized it replaces a normal Hunter mask with the nemesis face

[thorn hedge]

wdym

[turbid igloo]

Those "nails" at the corners

It's something to make the hunters Ballistic mask hang on their face

It's like some String

[turbid igloo]

What does it give

I can't see rn

[errant sorrel]

I get all clothes of this apparel event of resident evil, they should create more clothes, backpack trophies, and patches like UBCS, BSAA, USS and SpecOps from ORC

[turbid igloo]

They should make a leon outfit

That one from RE2

And a trophy of a licker for participating of some event of it

Lickers are pretty much intelligent by their exposed brains

Lil intelligent boi

[zealous ether]

Where am i supposed to recieve the log-in RPD outfit? Aint in my caches/apparels/mail (i did see the notification upon login thati recieved them)

[digital chasm]

Question

Can your squad see when you pulse?

[thorny swallow]

pulsed targets show up for your group members yes

[drowsy dagger]

how do you see your world tier

[knotty plinth]

Old team from division 1 are no longer at Ubisoft

[digital chasm]

Wdym

[thorny swallow]

a) many companies do this and b) they are fixing game breaking bugs

[shrewd vale]

Are you lvl 30 or lvl 40, should be in the top corner when you open the map

At least I remember it being there

[drowsy dagger]

im lvl 40

[clever ocean]

Riot, EA, GGG, firaxis, fatshark

Need i keep going

[zealous ether]

can i give someone my floor 100 so i can complete 3 floors?

[narrow matrix]

Yes

[hallow raptor]

No more world tiers at level 40. That’s only a level 30 thing

[narrow matrix]

They have to join and leave to save the checkpoint

Technically they can kill all but the last hunter

[zealous ether]

read again slowly

[turbid igloo]

I'm finally going to home

My god

[silent plaza]

hey guys can someone tell me why some people sound so low ingame chat everythings on 100 but still can barley hear certain players

[turbid igloo]

🥲

[hallow raptor]

If you just need 3 floors, why not just matchmake till you get a lower floor? That way you keep your floor 100 check point…

[zealous ether]

Well too late now

I said fk it and went solo

[hallow raptor]

Meh

[drowsy dagger]

oh fr thank god

[silent plaza]

anyone know best way to handle the Ai in this event? im using jammer pulse but to long of a CD

[narrow matrix]

It’s realistically jammer pulse unless you want to be a cliche and run a skill build but that slows down time to kill that is unless you run a mortar build

The alternative is stinger hive

Stinger hive is the most consistent apart from hammer pulse, then comes shrapnel trap

Can also do burster firefly

If enemies are clustered together, emp sticky or explosive sticky also work… but long cooldown

[hallow plume]

anyone keep getting dc'?

[knotty tree]

Not sure if my game is bugged but I’m not able to complete the manhunt for “Chunks”. I currently have for 2/3 control points completed and cant find the third one, I’ve reset control points and even reset manhunt campaign progress but i keep running into this issue. Does anyone know a fix or am i just out of luck?

[fallow inlet]

@hallow plume might need to do some verifing files

[turbid igloo]

Did anybody get jill Sandwich too

Kinda delicious

[narrow kraken]

Hi all. Any suggestions on the Hollywood day 1 challenge 50 x damage shielded hostiles with thrown grenade or emp. Emp/pulse doesn't work and can't get them to stand still enough to grenade

[inner tendon]

To clarify, you are hitting enemies that have the Hollywood Shield with an emp/pulse, right?

[narrow kraken]

Correct. The ones glowing orange.

[inner tendon]

Try disabling+reenabling the GE.
as well as restarting the game between.

[narrow kraken]

Tried those. No luck unfortunately

[oak talon]

the wording on that is a bit weird, but what they mean with the emp part is the emp grenades from technician, its only grenades that trigger it, you can use fire grenades at spawn doors on missions for a easy way, or foam target is place for other grenades as a second option

[inner tendon]

Gotta love the selective nature of the GE's.

[supple swift]

anything grenade related om GEs just do viewpoint museum on low difficulty. equip a foam chem launcher. use acosta and mad bomber chest if u want. start mission, do the nade thing on the first group of hostiles at the start of the mission (they're usually grouped together, just foam them), restart mission, repeat.

[narrow kraken]

Amaizing thanks @supple swift and @inner tendon much appreciated. Dam I love this community

[lavish fox]

Okay so finally being a fresh 40 what are next steps in the grind?

[cedar yacht]

Getting your first build. Go to #td2-build-advice then pinned comments for up to date builds.

[burnt cradle]

hi, how do you get specialization points? Thought through normal leveling, but I don't get any.

[inner tendon]

You need to have the Spec Tree that you want to level up be active while you are.
you also get them from doing activities that state you do, e.g. certain bounties.

[burnt cradle]

@inner tendon Yes, it's active when I look at bounties, but there's nothing about the points under the reward, I've already made some and didn't get any points either. Are these then special missions, headdresses etc? if yes, where can i see it?

[inner tendon]

I have no idea what half of that means, but when you select a bounty, look to see if it mentions Spec Points as a reward.
Not all bounties have them daily.

[narrow matrix]

It’s clan bounties, weekly bounties and daily bounties that have the points

Otherwise you want to do invaded missions on your first clear it will rewards you with 3 points I believe and difficulty doesn’t matter

Daily and weekly settlement projects as well as summit, weekly shd requisition, and I believe the dz projects offer spec points as well

Otherwise running stuff with directives will help ya cause leveling fast is the most efficient way to get it done, especially if you pair it with stuff that gives points already

[burnt cradle]

ok thanks, unfortunately i've already finished invasion, i needed tasks from the technician for level 5

[weary siren]

is multiplayer [DZ/Conflict] free on Xbox?

[cedar yacht]

Pretty sure you need live for that stuff

or have an alt with it

[weary siren]

Oh no
better stay on pc 4 now

[zealous ether]

Where am i supposed to recieve the log-in RPD outfit? Aint in my caches/apparels/mail (i did see the notification upon login thati recieved them)

(asking again)

[golden geode]

Did you not get 1 key

[cunning briar]

mission was ended but need to wait 5 min before i could leave

[golden geode]

Is they no exit pop up

[golden geode]

They should be an exsit to dc thing

[olive crag]

is there a website where i can see where named items and exotics drops from? the wiki itself doesnt say anything

[inner tendon]

@olive crag No need for a website, just hop on over to #td2-build-advice > 📌 > spreadsheet. Everything ingame is listed there.

[olive crag]

https://tenor.com/view/thank-you-thanks-thank-you-so-much-keanu-reeves-gif-21952233

[slate mortar]

Guys for the Hollywood event, what does emp mean? Jammer pulse? Does it apply on normal scanner pulse?

[inner tendon]

That seems to be it.

[karmic fern]

can you get named DZ-items like the rock n roll from named caches, even if you haven't got one yet?

[lime night]

Yes

[karmic fern]

Thanks man

[visual karma]

Guys, is there any way to get the "Smooth Dance" emote? As it isn't available in the store.

[bronze viper]

I wait so long and nobody join here.

[golden geode]

Probably because no one’s running that by now

[bronze viper]

@golden geode oh ok thank you

[golden geode]

@bronze viper are you on much

[bronze viper]

@golden geode I'm new so i don't know a lot

[golden geode]

What level are. You

[bronze viper]

60

[golden geode]

Try the lfg page or ill log on to my PlayStation account and help you later

[bronze viper]

Same name?@golden geode

[iron willow]

From what im reading ingame, i can get keys for the resident evil gear just by levelling up?

[storm river]

Every 4 shd levels gets you an apparel event key

[iron willow]

right on tyvm

[teal sorrel]

How do I rank up a specialist role? I just unlocked gunner

[tulip fiber]

Have gunner activated while you level up. Some bounties give points, invaded missions on the first clear of the week.

[teal sorrel]

Ohh, okay thank you!

[night sun]

So, what first? Exotic Famas or exotic M4?

...honestly I'd love to see an exotic smg 9

Even a named one

[noble dragon]

is Lady Death any good? just found it for free laying on the ground in the DZ lol

[mortal dagger]

Yeah it's a great gun, whenever you move it fills up a meter that gives 75% damage to each bullet fired until the meter runs out, if you get a kill with the gun, you get a momentary 20% movement speed buff

The meter fills up quicker when sprinting

[nimble spruce]

It's ok for pvp and lower difficulty pve (like the league speedruns) but falls off in heroic due to the small mag.

[crude falcon]

does enemy HP pool scale up with number of players, like legendary 2 mans have less HP than legendary 4 mans ?

[nimble spruce]

Yes, although the scaling is not linear.

[narrow matrix]

Call for backup don’t matchmake

[bronze viper]

@narrow matrix i left for work. I'm so confused. My inventory full and i don't know how to do it

[narrow matrix]

Open your map > matchmake > hold triangle

[bronze viper]

@narrow matrix i will do later this. I just need help with gear etc. I don't know how to increase my critical chance etc

[mortal dagger]

Find a piece of junk gear with crit chance on it, go to your recalibration library and pull that attribute into the library and then simply roll it on the gear you want

[zealous ether]

Does difficulty affect convoy resources drops?

[quasi niche]

Since it affects also bounty drops, or any other kind of world activity drop id say yes

[pseudo tapir]

is this only obtainable in the raid?

trying to get the regulus

[mortal dagger]

Yups

[pseudo tapir]

dang alright

is it a boss drop?

[burnt cradle]

Hi, there must be a google sheet with all brandsets and gearsets. Does anyone have a link for me? But please only one that is up-to-date.

[long dove]

It’s pinned to the build advice channel

[burnt cradle]

@long dove oh ok,thx

[long dove]

Np

[nimble spruce]

I think they drop from the key chests? Only once a week though.

If you have an alt you can maybe get some more through them.

[teal sorrel]

Is it really worth having 6 ability points?

[nimble spruce]

You mean skill tiers? Depends on your build - if it's a skill build then certainly.

[teal sorrel]

Well, im trying to figure things out with gunner atm

I just can't seem to find a good build, I started playing few weeks ago

[nimble spruce]

Check the spreadsheet linked in the pinned messages in #td2-build-advice, lots of good builds there

[teal sorrel]

Alright, thank you

[pseudo tapir]

ahh ok. havent done the raids in a year and ive had these projects since then lol

time to finally do them

[hushed kayak]

Hi, ive recently started to play the division 2 and i am somehow stuck in a room and dont know how to get out during a mission. Can anyone help?

[delicate cliff]

Open your map and fast travel to a different location

[hushed kayak]

will that reset my mission progress?

[delicate cliff]

Not a 100% sure but technically it shouldn't since the mission is still in progress. If you want, I can quickly join and anchor for you

[hushed kayak]

omg i reset the whole mission just to get stuck in the same room again XD

i quit for today, too annoying

[iron willow]

can you get Eagle Bearer from the Summit or is it still raid/DZ only?

[nimble spruce]

Still raid/dz only

[iron willow]

does the healer drone heal shields?

[nimble spruce]

No, but the initial burst heal from the chem launcher does, and so does the artificer hive

[bold fulcrum]

does a foundry build goes better with technician or with firewall here?

[foggy needle]

So does the heal cloud from heal chem (so it heals shields twice hehe

[narrow matrix]

Technician for artificer hive otherwise survivalist for protection from elites or demo to ignore explosions

[bold fulcrum]

well i got 4 piece with the backpack and chest piece with it and as for my mask it's the catharsis and as kneepads are the emperor's guard all with blue core attribute and armor regen

[slate mortar]

guys question about the apparel event, for the daily project to get the keychain & badge, if i completed the daily project for character A, will i get another 2 new badge and keychain if i complete the same daily project for character B?

[mental aurora]

I'm away from my computer for at least 2 more hours. Can someone post a picture of the requirements for the daily project pls?

[bold fulcrum]

the daily project is now: complete 3 bounties, resupply a CP and emote near 3 agent's

[mental aurora]

Thx a lot. What are the rewards? Are they new from the previous apparel event?

[fallow inlet]

@pseudo tapir everytime you open a key chest you get the materials you can only do it once a week

Hey Kettle ,Azurmen32

Hope everyone is having a good gaming day

[nimble spruce]

hey Saph

[bold fulcrum]

yeah basically they're the same one's from the first resident evil apparel event

[mental aurora]

@bold fulcrum thanks mate. Ok so I'll pass since I already have them

[pseudo tapir]

how many do you get

[fallow inlet]

Use materials on just one or the other because they both will give you enough for the other . You'll do a total of 5 runs and the 5th will be for the regulos

[noble dragon]

can i get new blueprints via Level 3 CP, or do i need to make them Level 4?

and, in case, do i get better/more blueprints via L4 CP?

[narrow matrix]

Run cp3 it’s faster

And no it’s rng

[frail bane]

Hey does crossplay between steam and ubisoft exist? All I see on the site is that theres crossplay between "PC and stadia"

Just wanna make sure before my friends get it on the wrong store

[narrow matrix]

Stadia no longer exists

There’s cross play between all division 2 platforms on pc

It’s all connected to Ubisoft connect

[frail bane]

ok sounds good thanks! also yea the site still mentions stadia so i guess its just real outdated

[pale gyro]

kind of a silly thing to ask but should i even try conflict/any kind of pvp right now if i’m only shd 380? only asking since i’ve never really been a pvp guy for any game before, and i wanna try it but i know about the.. level gaps, to put it simply lol

[cedar yacht]

I wouldnt as you want dedicated pvp builds for those areas

but no1 is stopping you from doing pvp at that level you know

[pale gyro]

that’s true, might just see what the matchmaking gives me as a lil test run and end up focusing on leveling up before i continue pvp attempts after that. thanks 🙏

[turbid igloo]

What's the recommended hive to use both pve and pvp (forget the builds)

Anybody alive to answer

Is the engineer spec hive good?

For pve and pvp

[inner tendon]

@short spoke You're looking for #lfg-playstation

[desert patrol]

So I've been doing it mildly before expac (at world level 5), but how much should I be focusing my Talent/Attribute library for optimization after I hit 40?

[inner tendon]

Honestly, don't worry about Optimisation yet. It's best to farm out gear until it's 80%+ godrolled, then tweak the final few %.

playing on Challenging at minimum will help a lot, since it removes all but gearset/exotic/gold stuff.

[lavish fox]

can i get a memento through countdowns?

[rigid jasper]

yeah

[jade summit]

With the Fragile Armor directive when you have a broken armor stack an Armor Kit is supposed to remove it right?

[junior cave]

That's right, but sometimes it doesn't... You know, Division 2 things. 😁

[inner tendon]

It's usually after you fast travel, relogging fixes it.
No we don't know why.

[copper needle]

I got lvl 30 and i got to nyc what should i do

[inner tendon]

Hey grats.
So after you finish the WONY campaign and fight Keener, you can officially start the "Endgame" of div2.

[copper needle]

@inner tendon oh thanks

[faint flare]

why is the S.T.A.R.S daily project resetting every time I fast travel to NY or summit? Can't complete the daily

[sharp ether]

is nemesis not raid exclusive ? often heard it mentioned together with egaler bearer etc. but some guides say that its a project tidal basin + invaded missions ?

[wraith flare]

its not raid exclusive

[prisma violet]

The gun u talking about for raids is ravenous, regulus and Eagle bearer

Regulus is a raid exclusive craftable gun

Ravenous from IH and EB from DH

[sharp ether]

Oh so Nemesis is craftable without raid ... is it any good tho for pve ?

[wraith flare]

yes

its in a 3 way tie for best sniper

[tulip fiber]

I went from DC to NY yesterday w/o it resetting. The Summit is on a different server so that’ll probably reset the project.

[delicate sparrow]

Should I use the stars from the global event to buy as many exotic caches as I can? Or is it better to get more optimization stuff, materials (field recon data, shd calibration)? what's the best value for spending the stars on?

[quasi niche]

Depends ... If you are low shd and low on materials its not a bad shout to use it for that , if you are looking for specific gear f.e. DZ weapons, items like Yaahl, Dark Winter etc. you can go for named caches, if you want to gamble for the syscor set take legacy caches , I would not take exotic caches tho... 2 games of countdown is 1 cache and porbably way quicker than getting like 24 stars or so... thats too much for 1 exotic

[delicate sparrow]

yeah that makes sense, thanks for the advice! I was also finding these exotic caches waay too expensive for 20 stars..

[shadow raven]

Hey so i think my game îs suffering a progresion Bug......so manny Ortega talked about a increase of hunter drones and said that idk who destroyed one and gave it to someone going by the nickname "Wally" and said that this "Wally" person has decrypted some kind of comms......then manny said to go meet up with "Wally" at the castle setlement but......i cant find "Wally"

Does anyone know of something

[tulip fiber]

When you load into Castle, go to the end in the left. You’ll see the crafting table and such then down to the right is another table with a couple of people there, one of them is Wally. You should be able to interact there.

[shadow raven]

Thanks alot

[turbid igloo]

To get the hunter axe trophy do you need all 12 hunters or only kill 8 until you open the ivory key box?

[narrow kraken]

How do you get raid exotics? I don’t see it in the loot pool I randomly just did it with randoms

[slate mortar]

guys is there something wrong with the daily project for the apparel event? i completed mine but did not get the rewards, then shows another project

[dim crag]

From the raid

You can also get Eagle Bearer, Ravenous and Bighorn from thr DZ now

[narrow kraken]

Oh okay ty

Low chance then I see

[oak talon]

there are 8 encounters that each give a key per encounter, some encounters have more than one hunter but will still have only one of the hunters drop a key. so you have to do all of them to get access to the crate and items.

[turbid igloo]

By opening the crate i get the trophy?

[oak talon]

yes, those come from the crate aswell when you open it

[turbid igloo]

Ty 🦜

[turbid igloo]

Is the @fair pecan a bot or someone who's being held gun hostage not being able to do anything other than say things about updates and the server

[true siren]

its just an account that ubi employees have access to to post updates to the server and stuff like that

[turbid igloo]

Oh

Wish they made a bot about isac

[true siren]

no

[turbid igloo]

Yos

[true siren]

making a bot to manage a server is a bad idea

[turbid igloo]

Oh yeah

Forgot what happened to yt after a bot got admin permissions

[rain sigil]

So I have a question surrounding the apparel. Specifically the "uniforms".

Does anyone know if there is gonna be any kind of change to these bc they haven't touched it since gunner came out.

Are there gonna be new uniforms or (and what I'd personaly prefer) are they going to turn the uniforms into regular outfits so we can mix and match with them?

[inner tendon]

There was a "SHD" focused Apparel Event (called Paragon) a little while back that gave us 6 new outfits in pieces. They're all based off the 6 Spec Trees.
It'll be in the Store before too long.
the actual outfits: very little chance.

[warm tendon]

Hello , it's been 2 or 3 years . Is the game cross play between new gen Xbox and pc

[foggy needle]

nope not cross play and no plans for it sadly

[warm tendon]

OK ty

[turbid igloo]

What are all the resident evil event project rewards

Do you have image of it?

[lime night]

is this for getting the raid done on HC char?

[loud saddle]

correct

[thorn hedge]

I'm going for.mine soon

[loud saddle]

I'm working my way there, was trying to get my shd level up to get my stats balanced and still working on getting gear....taking awhile tho.

[thorn hedge]

What's your shd in hc

[loud saddle]

currently only 506 so far

[thorn hedge]

I'm like fuckin 14 or something

Lol

[loud saddle]

s'all good, we all started there. first toon/try in it?

[thorn hedge]

I'm new to endgame

[loud saddle]

this is my second attempt, my first attempt ended at lvl 38 in theo cause i stupidly stood near a spawn door. XD OOOOPS.

[thorn hedge]

I kept dying early game

Then I died on CD over the weekend

[loud saddle]

oof, yeah, dying in HC can be a hit to the feels. glad to see you're keeping at it though. \o/

[plucky mesa]

got my 1 life still going, but only at SHD 140

Did complete Legendary DUA with a HC group tho - that was intense

[loud saddle]

NICE, I can imagine that being intense for sure. I haven't done much group HC play yet (only Keener mission honestly)

[shadow raven]

Next to the vendor?

Here?

[loud saddle]

woman on left is wally, talk to her and she'll tell you to interact with laptop on your right

but it looks like no prompts

[shadow raven]

Then...why....The FUCK...ISNT IT WORKINGGGG

[loud saddle]

already tried logging off/on again?

dumb question i know

[shadow raven]

Aight ima yeet my PS4 out the fucking window

[nimble spruce]

If you don't have a yellow side quest marker pointing to her, you probably need to go back to the white house and talk to Manny again, after the intro cutscene make sure you listen to the whole audio thing that follows without doing anything to interrupt it, same in the basement.

[shadow raven]

It doesnt give me a prompt to

To talk to manny again

And wdym by same in the basement

....explain like You are explaing it to a stupid person

[loud saddle]

exit game (or log off and log back on) go talk to manny in white house again and just stand there the entire time until he's done and you get a mission marker at castle (literally don't move until you get prompt)

[shadow raven]

Ohhhhh

[loud saddle]

I had to do it three times cause I kept moving around and it kept not giving me the prompt to meet Wally (although I listned the the entire audio)

[shadow raven]

Well where the "talk to manny", prompt....îs it invisible just like my dad???!!!

I....am.....going.....fucking INSANE

[loud saddle]

it's up stairs and you just interact with door or something and it just plays audio IIRC

like you don't actually see any scene or do anything, he's shy and talks to you through the door apparently....lol

[shadow raven]

Well i guess

If it doesnt work îl update You in a sec ok

[shadow raven]

What

[bronze viper]

Where is this?

I'm new

[shadow raven]

Hey look @loud saddle and @nimble spruce theres....ABSOLUTYLE NO FUCKING PROMT

[loud saddle]

🤔

[loud saddle]

what exactly are you looking for? the Bank mission? or mounted guns?

[bronze viper]

@loud saddle bank

[shadow raven]

Uhhh here

[bronze viper]

Oh nice thank you

[shadow raven]

So the fuck am i gonna do @loud saddle ....am i fucking doomed or sum

Am i a cursed man

You Say upstairs i gone upstairs and to the door where the fucking prompt at?

I Tried reseting the game....didnt work.....now what

[loud saddle]

so it's still giving you a mission prompt up top to speak to wally?

[shadow raven]

No

Its not giving me shit

Neither to fucking talk to manny neither to talk to wally

[loud saddle]

wait, are you level 40? 🤔 and you originally say you heard manny talk to you in a diff session but it bugged out?

[shadow raven]

Both no

Im not lvl40 dont got the dlc and 2 he didnt Bug out

[loud saddle]

oh, you never heard him at all then? cause I saw the map you posted above (made me think you weren't lvl 40) and I THOUGHT that is part of the endgame story/manhunt so you wouldn't have access to it then. would explain why you're not getting the prompts/audio

[bronze viper]

Anyone on ps to help me with my library please?

[shadow raven]

Well atleast help me with this

[nimble spruce]

you can't if you don't have the dlc, it won't let you do any of the manhunt

[shadow raven]

So this îs manhunt

......FUCK THE DIVISION 2 AND FUCK THE BLACK FUCKING TUSK

[nimble spruce]

yup, it's part of the current season and all seasonal content is locked behind WONY

[bronze viper]

I have full inventory and i don't know how to make it. A friend did it for me and me now i can't do it or what to keep or what to sell. If anyone can help me send me private message please

[shadow raven]

puts gun to head

[dim crag]

Damn bro chill

DLC is on sale often, its like 8€ or smth

Just get it when it's on sale

[shadow raven]

I fucking hate play for content pulls trigger and Falls to ground

[dim crag]

Okay

[nimble spruce]

...spend more money, get more game. It's not exactly exploitative.

[shadow raven]

Ye i got a fucking ps4 and its very fucking different then pc

[shadow raven]

Mate i spent 40 dollars on the game....to get it again (last cd i got for free somehow killed itself)

[dim crag]

Language please

[shadow raven]

....god what Have i did wrong in this world

[nimble spruce]

you spent $40 on the base game? How recently? I bought it for <$5 over two years ago

[dim crag]

Unnecessarily overrracting

[dim crag]

With or without WoNY?

[nimble spruce]

that was just the base game, I paid full price for WONY at the time because it was recently released

[dim crag]

Ah right

I bought the Ultimate for like, 19 haha

[shadow raven]

Soo like uhhh a week ago 20 RON (romanian curency) for shopping and 20 RON for base game

[loud saddle]

shopping?

[cedar schooner]

thats 8.92 US for anyone wondering

[thorn hedge]

I would not compare Ron to usd

[shadow raven]

I meant shipping

[loud saddle]

gotcha, duh, should've guessed that....I was like, "they charged you just for shopping there?" sorry, turned blonde for a second

[thorn hedge]

Lol

[shadow raven]

And WONY îs 135 RON

[thorn hedge]

Wa

[shadow raven]

[cedar schooner]

thats quite expensive

[shadow raven]

No shit

[versed pumice]

Interesting chat

[shadow raven]

....well fuck.....i should now beg my mum......good thing my birthday was yesterday

[loud saddle]

jesus....I paid $24 for the ultimate edition at the time I got the game.

[versed pumice]

Same twice

[thorn hedge]

i paid full price for wony cuz i pre ordered

[shadow raven]

starts to swear in Romania (very contriversial

[thorn hedge]

but i also got the base game for free since it came with my gpu

[versed pumice]

20-40 for a game like td2 kinda worth it tho considering the amount of content u get outta it and time u can invest

[cedar schooner]

yeah it's one of those games you could justify paying obscene amount for tbh.

[shadow raven]

I need to spend 30 USD for more content

For now its repetative stuff

[cedar schooner]

wait for a sale

[shadow raven]

I believe that PlayStation doesnt Have sales for DLCs

[versed pumice]

Yep unless ur cheapskate

[cedar schooner]

perhaps regional, I picked up WONY for 10 USD

[shadow raven]

Again "For now its repetative stuff"

[cedar schooner]

on playstatio

[versed pumice]

The whole game is repetitive it’s a looter shooter

[shadow raven]

...so You got a PS4.....and You Say You got DLC on sale

[cedar schooner]

PS5, and the game was free through Playstation plus. I paid 10 USD for WONY though

[shadow raven]

....time to beg mom

[arctic tusk]

if i wanted to run a red core heartbreaker, what would the secondary stat be?

[cedar schooner]

crit chance/crit damage

[arctic tusk]

not headshot damage?

[versed pumice]

Chc/ chd as most dps builds

[arctic tusk]

on it

[versed pumice]

For pulsing?

[cedar schooner]

no,not really worth it for an AR build

[versed pumice]

U likely running a weapons that has flatline and the lazer pointer from tech spec so headshot damage doesn’t matter much

[arctic tusk]

the laser pointer never seems to work right

got a lmg with flatline though

[versed pumice]

Interesting

Should always proc

[cedar schooner]

at least for PvE

[arctic tusk]

guess i'll try it again, which spec has it? technician?

was thinking of running gunner instead but then again that's why im here asking

[versed pumice]

Yep pvp it varies as people run pulse resistance builds

[versed pumice]

Yep

[cedar schooner]

tech

[arctic tusk]

didnt know people unironically did pvp unless we're counting DZ

[versed pumice]

Run tech + a ar that accepts the laser pointer and acs shotgun

[arctic tusk]

acs?

[versed pumice]

Yea conflict be good too

Just more bs

[versed pumice]

Full auto shotgun

[arctic tusk]

oh. not LMG?

[versed pumice]

Named version is Rock and Roll

[arctic tusk]

why shotgun?

[cedar schooner]

builds stacks faster

[shadow raven]

Suggestion for Skills to run for solo dz pvp

[versed pumice]

It’s kinda a must for sets like striker and HB for fast stacking due too the pellets count

[arctic tusk]

side question, what counts as being pulsed? just the normal pulse or any of it's variants?

[cedar schooner]

Pulse defender drone

[nimble spruce]

each pellet = 1 stack, so 8 stacks per shot

[cedar schooner]

basically

[versed pumice]

Decoy / defender drone / emp sticky / scanner pulse / big shield ( bulwark)

Foam chem

[versed pumice]

/ burn sticky

[shadow raven]

Jesus

Uhhh wdym big shield

[versed pumice]

Bulwark shield

It’s one of tankiest shield in the game

[shadow raven]

....Man show the fucking thing

[versed pumice]

Tho u are limited to secondary only same with deflector

[versed pumice]

I’m not on atm + u have google my son

[shadow raven]

Shiii ima runnn uhhhh defender.........can i runnn emp pulse

[shadow raven]

That shit look tanky

[versed pumice]

Oh yea the jammer pulse good too

[shadow raven]

Emp pulse îs jammer pulse

Rightttt?

[versed pumice]

I think yea

Although it got nerfed a bit

Teir 0 no longer work’s against teir 6 builds

[shadow raven]

So....i was right

[versed pumice]

Must have teir 3 or higher

Kinda ez with ninja + tech n picaros

[shadow raven]

Perfectoooo

Which one do i put

Îl do for drone and pulse for all slots

[versed pumice]

Idk

Also happy belated birthday

[mortal dagger]

This is the first game, no? 🤔

[cedar schooner]

no way. UI is div 2

[shadow raven]

Ahh thanks

[mortal dagger]

Why it's saying "skill power" and not skill tier? 0.o

[versed pumice]

Idk found it from google

[loud saddle]

I mean, there's a BT logo in the back, it's not the first game....lol

[cedar schooner]

probably before the rework they did

[mortal dagger]

I missed that

[mortal dagger]

Ooooooh that's a good point

[cedar schooner]

was it gear 1.0 or something?

[loud saddle]

looks like invaded potomac event center too

could be wrong tho, looks like it though

[mortal dagger]

Okay cool, I didn't recognise the environment or the BT logo and was only reading the words related to the skill on screen...

[loud saddle]

prolly just a very old iteration of div2, in the beginning when things were different and a bit more complex

[versed pumice]

Seems more fun tho than current simplified td2

[mortal dagger]

Nah, current iteration is way better, easier to understand

[versed pumice]

True hella simple

[mortal dagger]

It's great, too many games complicate gear for the sake of being complicated

[loud saddle]

old iteration made gear mods more complex IIRC, you can still see it via the naming schemes that never got adjusted.

[olive crag]

Whats the cooldown with helping backup requests?

[thorn hedge]

I don't think there is one

[loud saddle]

ditto, not sure if there's a cooldown. there may be like 30 seconds between the audio playing "an agent is requesting backup" but there might be multiple icons on the map and it just wont play the sound to reduce spam. you can answer calls back to back to back though afaik.

[olive crag]

Alright, I was checking the shd on the map, and it was empty after i accepted one call. Before i did it, it had quite a few

[loud saddle]

if you want faster results (thought it'll take you anywhere with no choice) you can turn on the "answer the call" option.

it'll answer any following calls automatically, but be forewarned the calls can come from ANY place (unlike the audio calls you receive being restricted to local map usually)

and you're teleported/joined to group immediately with no prompt, so if you're in the middle of something you may get pulled away mid mission

[olive crag]

Gotcha

[tranquil spear]

anyone know a fix to the no dialogue audio? ive reinstalled the game twice, veryfyed, and checked my audio settings like 20000 times and still no dialogue audio, everything else works fine just no dialogue

[thick pond]

How do one get the little busy bee, I were not playing when it was introduced?

[cedar schooner]

exotic caches. or if you have the liberty blueprint, farm pistol targeted loot.

[arctic tusk]

for LMG should i do chc or chd since it already has dtooc

[foggy needle]

ROF is the best stat tbh for LMGs, CHC and DTA are the next in line but all 3 are kinda close.

[left shore]

What happened with the secret “hamish” boss in nyc has anyone found it ?

[thick pond]

What liberty blue print is it you need to get busy bee in your loot pool?

[oak talon]

likely either will work, but just to be sure you could do the "quest" and have the crafting one and craft it giving you both that and the reconfigure blueprint, as its not a long questline and can be done on normal even i believe

[rustic sorrel]

What does this small arrow mean?

[thorny swallow]

it means that you have the value at that arrow in your recalibration library

so you have an almost maxed weapon damage roll in your library

[still raven]

Finished the STARS daily mission but didn’t get the rewards

[mortal dagger]

Yeah it's bugged apparently

[still raven]

I love this game

[mortal dagger]

Massively bugged 😂

[narrow matrix]

Can you farm the snitch

[mortal dagger]

As in, guarantee to find him?

[narrow matrix]

Yes after finding him and collecting a bounty

To gather bounties

[mortal dagger]

Ohh, idk tbh. When you found him once and unlocked Cassie's location I don't think he gives more bounties

[oak talon]

he has a 30 min timer after despawn, so somewhat if you go to it every 30 mins, but not fast farmable

[mortal dagger]

If you want to gather bounties, public executions are better

[oak talon]

he will give a bounty every time you find him

[mortal dagger]

TIL! 😄

[narrow matrix]

I’ve been doing that I’m just asking

I’d pick locations near his spawns

[narrow matrix]

Oh okay

Still reasonable I wish he gave New York bounties tho

Or at least New York factions in dc

How do I get black tusk to stop taking up all of the public executions tho… especially in New York… it gets annoying I want to fight cleaners

Anywhere not two bridges just have them occupying everything

[river parcel]

Anyone know how to quickly speed run from lvl 26 to 30?

[modest solar]

control points

[arctic tusk]

how does finisher work?

[oak talon]

get a kill with the pistol, then it will have finisher ready at that point and once you swap weapon it will activate for its duration

[arctic tusk]

so kill with pistol then switch and it activates?

[fathom spruce]

I think with killer you have a 10s time to swap, so get a kill, and need to swap within 10s, seems like based on tooltip if you kill and wait 10s+ to swap it'll just expire and needs another kill

then once you swap is when the other buff timer starts where you have 15s of more CHC+CHD

so no need to swap immediately, the 15s crit chance and damage buff only starts once you swap

[arctic tusk]

so does the buff apply to the pistol or weapon swapped

[fathom spruce]

I think it's a character buff, you just have it once you swap, not to the pistol of course since you swap away from the pistol so it'd not really make sense for it to buff the pistol you're not using anymore

[arctic tusk]

im using orbit for proficiency so just trying to figure out how to use it

[fathom spruce]

so e.g. swap to pistol, kill enemy, now you have a 10s timer to swap away (but no buff gained yet), if you wait too long it expires and have to get another kill
once you swap to any of your primary weapons, you start a 15s buff where you have more CHC+CHD, and it's just any weapon even if you then swap around again after (even back to pistol, whatever you have at this point)

[arctic tusk]

ok so i think i got it now sorta

got a kill with the pistol then swapped and saw the buff

[fathom spruce]

yus and that buff just stays, it's a 15s buff and you can swap around between weapons 1/2/3 doesn't matter

[arctic tusk]

yup saw that too

tempted to make a meme cowboy dodge holster build with it now

[fathom spruce]

the swap-away 10s buff doesn't show as an icon at your armour and is instead visible next to the weapon for example (like where you can show other weapon-specific talents usually), so you don't actually see when it expires but that just gives you a 10s timer to swap away to activate the actual CHC+CHD buff whenever you're ready

[arctic tusk]

once i max it i probably wont touch it anymore

[fathom spruce]

it's usually my go-to talent for say a TDI Custom sidearm since I don't bother much if ever with using a sidearm, so that talent is a neat "in case I ever use it, at least it buffs my actual weapon setup afterwards" instead of a talent that might only buff the sidearm itself that I don't care about

in case I don't need/want something more specific like future perfect/sledgehammer etc on it

[arctic tusk]

unless it's liberty i dont really see any pistols worth using, let alone with shields or in general

[fathom spruce]

Busy little bee (exotic pistol) is like the supercharged version of that talent kind of, actually great fun (but hardest part about it is remembering to use it)

[arctic tusk]

i have busy bee but idk how to use it properly. like i sort of know how it works, i just dont know how to use it to where it's actually useful

[fathom spruce]

TDI Custom's main use is if you're a DPS build without technician, you swap to hold pistol and throw your revive hive to a friend that way, as your hive goes to 2 charges when holding it vs just 1 charge so you can still pick it up and have your self res instead of the whole hive being on minutes of cooldown

[arctic tusk]

so what you're saying is i should get rid of future perfect on it

[fathom spruce]

BLB is nice where you can tag around enemies (no need to kill anything, and allies can be killing them in meanwhile, all you care about is having tagged them with a shot once in their lifetime, works on enemy skills and whatnot too) for up to 10 stacks and then once you swap (this one doesn't have a swap-away timer like finisher, so you can take as long as you want to "prime" your damage) you get a giga damage buff

[arctic tusk]

when i said i sorta know how BLB works, that's what i kinda meant like
do the enemies have to stay alive to keep the stacks? or do i have to just tag stuff in general

[fathom spruce]

Yeah if you're like a skill tier 0/1 regular weapon DPS then I don't see much of a point in future perfect on sidearm, you'd need to extensively use it and get the last-shots for kills on enemies for it to ramp up skill tiers for not much value usually
It can be a neat source of overcharge on tier 6 builds though

[arctic tusk]

in a mission atm btw

[fathom spruce]

yep no just once in their life-time, you can tag them once and if they die after doesn't matter, you keep that stack

so you can run around with it and once you've shot at 10 unique enemy targets (not just enemies but also their skills/turrets etc), even if they're all long dead by now, you have 10 stacks still and thus +200% damage for 10s after you swap (which can be whenever)

can be nice to rack it up to 10 during some downtime with easy enemies where your friends take care of them (or you just kill them off with BLB), and then once some boss comes out you swap and get giga damage for the first 10s
or in an emergency when you're pinned down and can't peak (but still safe in cover) and just blindfire tag many enemies once real quick, swap to actual weapon and mow them down without much danger as you have huge damage for a bit

[fathom spruce]

also if you actually full time use a pistol, a huge candidate of course would be the regulus which you could argue is just one of the strongest weapons in the game to use full time (and as a bonus it allows you to use the bulwark shield if you want to, as you can just mainly stick to it even in some builds)

Liberty is mainly just more niche for if you want to tank and keep your shield more alive, otherwise it's not that super special (especially since for just damage it's a worse regulus, or a placeholder until you get it), and for just damage say a D50 is great too to not take up an exotic slot

[arctic tusk]

isnt regulus a raid exclusive? that's kind of why i didnt mention it

[tidal lark]

Soooo I may have forgotten but the white tusk can only spawn in legendary strongholds an not randomly with some black tusk patrols right, cause I might be stupid but his outfits has a bit of white but I couldn't tell

[fathom spruce]

Yeah, though that's not too bad as #lfg-raid-pc gets you in one of the many beginner friendly raids where you can do some of the easier roles (like say just mainly covering one door's spawns) and go through it that way, it's also a guaranteed craft where you can get it after ~3 raids instead of some random chance for drop

Many raid leads explain mechanics a bit to help out too

[somber crown]

I always struggle with cover based red builds in higher difficulty. Where heroic mostly is okay and i can clearly see where i screwed up when i die... Legendary feels like if i stick the head out of cover for a second im half dead already.

I started div1 with rifles and mmrs and was an avid deadeye player. Div2 i went for a classic m1a build or diamondback built and heroic is really fun even tho you gotta be careful.

Legendary always felt like not an option for me with this builds.

As Heartbreaker set was introduced i switched to ARs + Shield + Memento (4r/2b) and this tanky feel gives soooo much breathing room i never knew before.

But now its actually hard to go back. I feel like i deal good damage, dont have to aim and can facetank most single targets (atlest heroic).

This feels like easymode tbh.
Is this just how meta is right now?
Any sense in Headshot builds?
How you all red rifle players hold up in legendary?

[arctic tusk]

i don't have a "proper" build let alone one i feel comfortable enough to take into any raids except for a possible healer build but then I'll be doing no damage

[fathom spruce]

A simple DPS build is usually what's the most sought after and can be obtained very easily (and IH imo is more about mechanics, good damage can help here and there but isn't a huge point)
I think generally healer would require a bit more experience (+ its build is far more rigid)

You do generally want/need a healer in most places there so you have one anyway but I think a DPS role is far, far easier to get and execute for less experienced/first timers

[arctic tusk]

gonna wait a bit so you can help the other people

but like yea i dont know what to go for with a DPS build let alone if i have anything on me that can be used for one that isn't like, somewhat niche like a white death sniper hotshot build

[oak talon]

the nameds of black tusk are also usually dressed in white, the white is the colour of the BTSU, BT is the normal black dressed troops, and BTSU, the black tusk special unit, is the nameds and the legendary enemies

[tidal lark]

He wasn't named he was a base red

[fathom spruce]

for heroic it's completely personal preference, in a lot of cases especially solo iKia's techtank builds for example here: https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1AxtLZi8SbziT3N7F6P8VM5J2h8yp4rLAFaSBIJA8Y4I/edit (one of the few ones, from the whole collection here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1LPnA18PDgGg_dEbNI1kZVTVIMGXNHQS_) are arguable one of the best sets for solo heroic as it gives you "enough" damage for that to not be an issue while making it so you have to worry far, far less about survivability and mistakes

focussing all about DPS has some diminishing returns (but still good) in heroic and does mean you can't let your guard down as much, but it can allow you to go faster

for legendary it's just trickier, it's mostly about kill or be killed where few max high DPS builds do well because they can delete enemies before they can delete you (like focus ND/focus strikers), and using shield peaking is a huge advantage (to a point it can make you near-immune to gunfire damage in a lot of spots)
tankiness can mean that you fall behind in damage while not bringing enough actual survivability (might die in 5 bullets instead of 2) so you get overwhelmed and just extend death
if you go all about tankiness you might actually reach a point you don't die but then it's similar to skill (turret drone) builds for legendary, technically quite/very safe but also super slow and subjectively boring

But yea just generally the "let me just peak and shoot at them" with tactic and builds from heroic and below don't work in legendary as the enemies just do massive damage, aim well and quicker, so you need to use every advantage yourself too (with both build and preparation/knowledge, like how spawns and compositions are static so you know beforehand where what'll spawn)

Easiest way to get into doing legendary is a turret/drone build where you can sit faaaar back (like 28 states over, sitting in Haven while your skills are killing DUA) and let them do the work but it's also very slow and might hit a wall with certain rooms (like CQC/EMP)
A pretty safe and fast way to approach it is the focus builds and using shield peaking where you're safe and deal insane damage to keep deleting them
In a group, having 3 high DPS and 1 really good CC can help immensely as even during the brief CC (legendary enemies have greatly increased status immunity) they're sitting ducks

[arctic tusk]

saving this info so i can use it too

[void terrace]

Does the KARD pistol only give the +1 skill teir while in use?

[oak talon]

then it is a interesting oddity, what zone was it in, and was it a manhunt zone perhaps?

[cedar yacht]

yes

[void terrace]

ty

[somber crown]

Alrite thanks for the headsup.
To be honest heroic mostly isnt a problem, i feel like nearly everything is viable there.

For me the classic red builds or mmr builds in legendary are something i would always love to play but never could manage. I wonder how to get the sustain to actually hold my "castle" while taking hits as a rifler/sniper.

[fathom spruce]

With headshot builds (sniper HH and/or CQC, optionally with HF, with shotguns and regulus), they work super well in a lot of places in legendary (though some rooms you'd probably prefer more range) to a point they're used to speedrun many sections but they can also be fairly high skill floor builds

[tidal lark]

I was in nyc I just don't rember fully all ik it was near stranded tanker

[fathom spruce]

Yeah for heroic most things are viable especially with experience, more tankiness there can make you relax and let your guard down more and not worry about resetting mission if you're half paying attention or something too

[fathom spruce]

MMR HH builds might get best out of mantis + decoy, I think in solo you should be good on damage with it and have a similar idea as what you'd do with solo sniping on heroic, where you have decoy up to not get hit and kill them fast but MMR HH builds have a pretty high skill ceiling and floor (and with solo, you'll struggle against certain enemies potentially that have helmets or don't have heads, so your build needs to account for that or swap builds entirely for some rooms perhaps)

[somber crown]

Hm yea as i thought
Always felt like i did only well with a classic red build if i had guys infront of me who take the heat.
Guess thats just how it is.

[fathom spruce]

Focus ND/Strikers (I'd say focus strikers is more forgiving, as all its damage is single target so you can burst unexpected flankers and such without worrying about it) could be for example something like this:
https://mxswat.github.io/mx-division-builds/#/IwWgTCDMKqAsA2EAGFbUfegXJC1VYQAOUTcrc7AVinBgYTkpYuW2LsNZ7ezACcXBm16V+QgiLGiM2YJ2a1g0MKkhIA7EL5gwtZgmWrocaANn8E8GMmWbNMbU84LLCIA

2nd primary and side-arm is completely personal preference here, skill is crusader shield and anything you want (assault turret is a great budget long-lasting decoy for example, or jammer/EMP sticky against certain problematic dogs/minitanks, or just some foam, or anything else you'd want)

and the big thing you can do with shields is to do shield peaking where you're aiming with shield peaking around the right side of some wall and you can shoot but you don't actually stick out as a target so enemies can't shoot back, so your main worries are grenades/drones/flankers

[somber crown]

Im just so bored of fast rpm rifles. Its so boring to play to just spam bullets and stack buff.

[fathom spruce]

and generally helps to abuse AI as much as possible as they still have some re-targetting and searching times, they might be confused at your position changes behind cover etc

Yeah fair, in that case HH would be the other main weapon DPS build variants to do it with

either close range or sniper variant (CQC HF variant might be more self sufficient for solo especially but less forgiving to get into, not sure though since with sniper the range only helps you so long until you're overwhelmed)

in groups if they have sufficient damage you can of course also go like (EP) CC and support them with CC

[somber crown]

Yea thats the thing. Sniper is so hard to pull off in legendary. Half the stuff just doesnt take Headshot damage.

On the other hand i would love to play a classic m1a red build but i dont know how to make it sustainable without losing too much damage. I feel like striker/heartbreaker are just so easy to pull off conpared to that.

[fathom spruce]

Focus ND can also be fun as you can use both an AR and a rifle (especially for further targets) and a different mechanic than "shoot one guy at a time only and stack up"

That's imo closest you get to classic M1A build there

Something like say
https://mxswat.github.io/mx-division-builds/#/IwWgTCDMKhAsA2EAGFbUfegXGOU1YQB2AVi00ou3OglFAXypeqWlVFe+rFA5gUhPZLn6FhkltmCh8wZAzrskxAJzCZkABwh5imMpAIRuBHJjJywYsRjr7u4Nu7Y4QA

[somber crown]

Hm Focus ND could be interesting then

[tidal lark]

u can't change controller binds to custom right

[fathom spruce]

Was my first focus build for legendary, less forgiving than focus strikers as your damage is high (bit higher than focus strikers overall) but spread across 3 targets mostly, your single target damage is far weaker so if you make a mistake you might not be able to correct it as quickly
Especially fun in groups though, and its ST damage is not prohibitively low (just focus strikers can help you recover from pretty insane situations after several mistakes), and you can still like say break chunga chains super easily to help out and whatnot

And in some ways it's stronger too and especially handy to have in a group as you can tag enemies as they spawn and mark the pesky snipers/drone controllers/grenadiers who might hang back far away in narnia, and use a beefy chunky chunga/robot doggo nearby to transfer damage back effectively at those hiding targets that'd otherwise become a huge issue

[somber crown]

Dang. How you pull off focused with such squishy build. I would be dead in seconds.

[fathom spruce]

Mostly again with shield peaking (against many enemies especially) + killing enemies so fast they don't get the chance to kill you (those few you're exposed to, with or without shield peaking)

There's a fine line of damage curve where if you're ahead of it, you start rolling quite well, but if you fall behind you'll quickly be overwhelmed and die

Focus strikers allows you to trade 1v1 or even against couple enemies out of cover with how fast you kill them as they're running up to you (especially tricking them with cover, perhaps making them come to you etc), focus ND just overwhelms a group of 3 with enough damage while using cover to trade favourably - notably, not cover as in actually using the cover system as that's very restrictive in legendary, but having shield out and manoeuvring around some physical obstacle to only show minimal parts of yourself from any given enemy, but it's trickier and also greatly benefits from being in a group where you're indeed not the sole focus (and/or using skills like decoy/turret to distract briefly)

[somber crown]

Hm okay so it really comes down to TTK then with those builds.

[fathom spruce]

Yeah in a lot of these, damage is what keeps you alive and falling behind slightly can be pretty bad

Can cascade easily, if you kill a new wave quickly they don't form up with enough to rush you vs say not killing enough and having them form a group that'll run you down (as you can spook them out of rushing you if you kill their numbers sufficiently as they're gathering, for example)

And also killing some key targets ASAP is often also a huge difference, there's often quite some enemies in a wave that are actually very harmless for most part and can be ignored until much later even at times, relatively of course, and it's just maybe one or few that cause major issues (especially who interfere with using obstacles/LoS to hide around to trick them, reposition somewhere else, and to shield peak)

[somber crown]

I gotta say its a real bummer to see how ineffective cover using is in a cover based shooter :S

[fathom spruce]

Yeah that's a bit weird but then again I'm kind of happy to not need to be in actual cover cover as it can be a bit clunky and restrictive, fun for heroic but then in legendary it's great to just kind of more freely run around and use cover more organically (just its physical existence as you move around it, close or near, keeping it between whatever enemy or enemies you want at that time)

[somber crown]

Yea with the red build especially those grenadiers and technician drone spammers are my nightmares

[fathom spruce]

I find those grenadiers (any Tusk variants) fairly okay because of how accurate they are, you just know once you see their icon to recognise their existence (or know there'll be one, with the static waves) and then also see the visual cue of them preparing the grenade + audio cue of it being launched, you basically know for sure your position is about to be bombarded

so dodging/gliding along the cover a bit/moving slightly back and such is basically a guaranteed way to get safe, and you can also shoot the grenades as they fly to you if you can't afford to move atm, depending on your aim + weapon this is also a fairly decent way to be briefly safe from them

but even then, those and especially drone controllers (as you otherwise quickly fall into a loop that you're full time shooting their drones down, very easy on heroic and imo saves the group if someone pays attention to them, not really feasible in legendary usually especially when alone) are great immediate first targets in a wave so they're a non-issue later, which again the focus strikers/ND builds both deal super well with

[somber crown]

Yea i briefly tried ND before and just didnt get the hang of it. Maybe coming from HB trying a Striker build comes more organically. Heard about a StrikersFury build with NBB. That + Gunslinger 10% AoK could replace some of HBs survivavilty for the start.

Maybe i will get the hang of the class cannon red builds someday.

But thanks for all the great input so far mate. Appreciated.

[fathom spruce]

Yeah Ninja BP is kind of a meme and a downgrade (damage wise especially) compared to not using it in almost all builds

It's just convenience mostly, like it can be neat to get some AoK for low difficulty content, but the damage loss from not having an actual BP talent is just too big

of course in a legendary context, that bit more survivability just won't make a difference for most part, you're better off with "offense is the best defense" there, an entire wave that you just about killed off in time means none of them even get to shoot at you, far better than getting minorly more armour back after some kills while getting hit very briefly is quick death probably anyway

probably "fine" for heroic and below in the same way almost any build is "fine" for heroic in that it can do it, but you'd for example also quite probably get more AoK out of not using ninja's (and thus not gaining HF AoK) but instead having more damage from a better BP talent and setup, so you kill enemies a lot faster, preventing a lot of damage that'd need to be healed up + proccing gunner's 10% AoK faster for example, quite ironic

I think that goes too much towards jack of all trades where you're compromising so much and end up with something that's kind of not that great at any of it, you'd be killing faster (and thus indirectly be safer) from just a lot more damage with still potentially decent healing (from just gunner's AoK, that you proc a lot from many fast kills), or have actual reliable big survivability from say techtank builds while also still having very respectable and high damage

I think they put their black/coloured clothes in the whites only wash that was using too much chlorine/bleach based detergent or something 🤣

Anyone able to explain to me how shd levels 1600 got level 20 weapons and I’m 2500 with 13 level? Did I miss something

[weary siren]

They farm DZ. They know how to get 1 or 2 exo materials from caches. Or they cheat....WK

It is possible to get materials every time u open a cache tho

[tacit lark]

Is cp3 or 4 generally better for farming attachments

So i used my level 30 boost on a new character (first character on PC have all my playtime on xbox) i didn all the warlords campaign hit 40 completed campaign and im set, my buddy restarted with me only he didn't use a boost and played from beginning to end. My question is hes getting the daily projects to beat (example) Lincoln Memorial on hard difficulty or higher projects, and im not. Did i do something wrong?

[prisma violet]

Cp3 is easier, cp4 has better loot so depends what u wanna do

[prisma violet]

Division is a bit buggy and daily projects are not that important lol

I have characters played from the beginning and characters that boosted to lvl30

[glossy schooner]

gotcha, thanks

[prisma violet]

Dont worry about it

Daily projects aint worth doing most of the time

What does skill efficiency stat? do with 3pc empress set?

[untold mauve]

10% skill efficiency is:

10% skill damage

10% skill haste

10% skill status

10% repair

10% duration

10% health

if u are a drone/turret build

you need to run 3 piece empress

[maiden mantle]

I’m running a drone/sticky build, I might go for a wyvern piece

And maybe explosive damage for the explosive sticky

[untold mauve]

nah

just go for empress 3 piece

3 empress, 1 wyvrn and 2 hana u

[narrow matrix]

Could be it’s still showing world tier 4 projects or something like that

[prisma violet]

U can also sub one of the non empress pieces for waveform but its kinda meh

[untold mauve]

i personally run 3 empress/1 wyvern/1 belstone/waveform

[prisma violet]

Belstone for armor regen?

[untold mauve]

yeah

[bold fulcrum]

is the mantis good in a sniper build or is it the ekim's long stick named sniper?

[untold mauve]

ekim suck balls

better off with white death

[bold fulcrum]

white death with ranged on it?

or white death with the nerfed determined?

[brazen stream]

ty seeking this answer 😄

and what dies skill haste?

added 3x 12% mod but my cooldowns arent going down

[untold mauve]

less cooldown for skills

yeah probably 1s per mod

[brazen stream]

then its not working 🤔

[untold mauve]

it's negligible

[brazen stream]

ah oh

could it be there is a cap?

im at 500% more doesnt count?

[untold mauve]

500% skill haste?

[brazen stream]

spreadsheet says yes

510 with 3 empress

but i can not change it with mods
