[maiden mantle]

I hope that’s true lol, my nervous ass scared to try it though.

[versed pumice]

u should

regulus is a good exotoc to have

headshot kill go boom

[maiden mantle]

Maybe one day I will. I wanna try and get some better gear first

[versed pumice]

ah u smart

but just get a standard fps biolr

which is 3 pc providnce , coyote , grupo/ comtrqctors and a foxes knee padaa

roll chc toll u at the rap and then spec into weapon handling or chd

tho uonestly u can get too lole 160 chd n then just spec the r st into handling

[inner tendon]

@maiden mantle Iron Horse is not actually just a DPS check, although the build that Limp recommended is somewhat useful overall, you will likely need other specialised builds instead.
That one suggested is fine for Dark Hours though.

[versed pumice]

true but for ur first or second clears youlll likely just get pyt on add clearing so standard fmj is fine

[inner tendon]

That is indeed why I said "somewhat useful overall", but it's important to let people know that it's not a catch-all build that'll be the only thing people ask for.
Either way, Dark Hours should be done first, it's a good intro to the world of div2 Raids, compared to the relative madness of IH.

[versed pumice]

got cha

[inner tendon]

@maiden mantle If you're looking for a link that has the full information on all the builds you'll likely ever need, #td2-build-advice > 📌 > spreadsheet > builds. The one Limp is referring to is called "Standard Red DPS".

[versed pumice]

tho honestly just make sur u have a FI healer builr n a tank build with pointmaen and targediage and a stndrd dps build with ither striker or high end and youll be fine

should take u avout a month aka 2-3 weeks to get regulus

[narrow kraken]

Anyone know if year 5 is out

[dim crag]

Not yet

[next perch]

How to find black tusk bounty?
I need one more to complete the project but after searching,no black tusk bounties at all

[next perch]

Nevermind,managed to see the answer on reddit

[nimble spruce]

Find black tusk public executions

If you've completed the weekly invasion then there won't be much in dc but you can usually find some in NY

[next sail]

Can you do hunters on other agents/character if you have done them on first ?

[nimble spruce]

No - other agents will find the masks and ivory keys already in the white house

[nimble spruce]

Only way you can redo them is by joining someone who hasn't done them yet

[cedar carbon]

Do you think when heartland releases they will abandon td2? Free 2 play likely means everything is gonna be monetized and that isn’t gonna really be fun.

[thorn hedge]

Yes

[nimble spruce]

We know we have another year of content at least, beyond that probably depends on a whole host of factors (including whether ubisoft hasn't gone entirely bankrupt)

[thorn hedge]

Heartlands doesn't have a release date still afaik

[cedar schooner]

It’s a different dev studio so I doubt it.

[thorn hedge]

They are transferring old members of the team to HL so

[cedar schooner]

Good point. Maybe then.

[loud saddle]

div2 ends with our agent dying and DC/NY getting nuked into oblivion so they can end game abruptly and with a vengeance and never look back. no need to update anything if it's a nuclear wasteland. 😂

[thorn hedge]

Wouldn't surprise me if they kill div 2 off on seasons 2.0

[nimble spruce]

Tbf div2 has a weirdly protracted life anyway, kind-of half zombie now with random fingers falling off even as the devs try to bolt new gear to it

[cedar carbon]

I have a feeling that heartland is likely gonna be a huge flop but we never know

[nimble spruce]

They're trying to ride a wave that peaked a couple of years ago

[cedar carbon]

The DZ extract imo is better than this Tarkov style stuff

[loud saddle]

it may gain the pvp traction, I don't think the pver's will stay much longer than to experience the environment a bit (cause let's all admit, we all love to see new locales) but after that the pvers may dissipate and leave just the pvprs if even them....

[cedar carbon]

That’ll probably be me. I’m a mix of both, more PVE than PVP but I don’t mind either. Y’know I just have a feeling with it being free you can just buy everything you need

[cedar schooner]

Nah I’m sure it’ll be pretty limited to cosmetics. Ubisoft is pretty good about that from my experience.

[cedar carbon]

I hope so. They don’t have very many f2p games though right? I mean the only other one I can think of right now is hyper scape

And we saw how that one went

[loud saddle]

@thorn hedge this thing

[thorn hedge]

Yay a gray image thanks discord

There we go

[loud saddle]

\o/ discord, u the greatest

[thorn hedge]

Looks meh

[loud saddle]

yeah, nothing really major but yeah, after that caps, there shouldn't be ANY benefit at all (no more health)

[thorn hedge]

I do mostly HC now so I stopped caring about SC SHD

[thorn hedge]

+100 credits is a fair trade ino

[loud saddle]

yeah, I was trying to grind the HC double XP out and accidentally capped it on my SC agent doing the final manhunt missions. was hoping to gain a bunch of levels that week

[thorn hedge]

Or 1000

Credits are annoying to run out of but not op

[cedar schooner]

Xdefiant too

[next sail]

Alright thank you

[next sail]

Wait what didn't know that
I might be able to get my missing key that way 🤔
Thank you for the info

[nimble spruce]

yeah check by the box, the key probably dropped there

[next sail]

On my main ? Didn't
I even did hunters on someone else session
Wasted last 4 days trying to get that last key
But going to check my other agent if it gives me all the keys so i unlock stuff that way

[next sail]

And there we have it
Wasted all that time
Contacted ubisoft support and didn't get any help 🙃
Thank you so much
I got all 8 keys to unlock the ivory chest ( 2nd agent )

[nimble spruce]

glad it worked out (eventually)

[lilac remnant]

For leveling up expertise is it easier/better to level gearsets and brandsets before going for weapons or vice versa?

[versed pumice]

kinda gear sets u can level up pretty quick as u usually running 4pc of the set

sasme with brands like providence and empress

@lilac remnant

[vernal scarab]

what armor skin/vanity is this? the one with police

[steady terrace]

Its apparel

[vernal scarab]

whats the name of that apparel?

[steady terrace]

Click on agent info and u can read name of it

[hard turret]

Anyone know if there missions with mask target loot I’m not available to hope on atm planning for after work

[next sail]

Is 'the apartment' only weapon with perfect measured ?

[next sail]

Unfortunately doesn't seem like it so summit or countdown

[tulip fiber]

Yes

[next sail]

Thank you

[hard turret]

Thank you

[versed pumice]

yeah n it’s dz exclusive

[fallow inlet]

Hey Kettle, RIRI

[nimble spruce]

hey Saph

[storm river]

anything that says "perfect" before the talent, and has a gold tint if its an attribute, is tied to that named weapon, cant be changed, and will always drop with said stat

[grim sable]

Is the nemesis quest still doable or is it a random drop

[nimble spruce]

almost all perfect talents are tied to one item and one item only (only exception I can think of is perfect determined)

[nimble spruce]

still doable, and you won't find the weapon as a random drop until you've got the nemesis blueprint

[grim sable]

Damnnn

[grim sable]

Also no there are multiple guns n stuff that have perfect talents in a lot of type of guns

Like you can have a named rifle and a named submachine gun w the same perfect talent

[nimble spruce]

perfect pummel is in two shotguns, but one of them is a pre-order bonus. Can't think of any others off the top of my head

[carmine flicker]

Surge and test subject for perfect in sync

[nimble spruce]

ah true

[grim sable]

Harmony and test

[carmine flicker]

Dare and kingbreaker

Perfect flatline

[grim sable]

^

[carmine flicker]

Probably some more

[nimble spruce]

all more recent ones, I think then? Not OG talents like strained, fast hands, optimist etc?

guess the top of my head isn't as deep as I tend to believe

[cedar schooner]

Mechanical animal and scalpel as well

[fathom spruce]

Pretty sure there's also two for optimist, that Rhino pistol thing too (but that's demo only I think), so it seems pretty random overall whether they added another or not

[cedar schooner]

All of the spec sidearms excluding firewall, have duplicates

[fathom spruce]

Yeah that'd make sense that they're (as much as possible) a duplicate of an existing talent to not (need to) make something unique for them

[narrow kraken]

Newb alert - can someone explain talents, attributes etc to me? I'm only level 7 and brand new to game. No idea whats important to look for with this 👀

[calm tinsel]

quick question, do I need a key to play on the PTS?

[knotty cargo]

why it doesn't c ount ?

I kill him while bleeding and it doesn't count , anyone had same problem ?

[nimble spruce]

you don't really need that knowledge at your stage - just read item descriptions when you find them and you'll pick it up as you go along. Choices over what to use only become important at the endgame, before that just run whatever has the highest numbers.

[narrow matrix]

Not while he’s bleeding but after

[knotty cargo]

ok thanks

so i bleed him once and wait

then just kill himright ?

[narrow matrix]

Yup

[knotty cargo]

ty

[narrow matrix]

Make sure it’s on the right difficulty too btw

[narrow kraken]

Thanks, makes sense!

[knotty cargo]

which

difficulty it should be

[versed pumice]

Most are hard or higher

But that one doesn’t say so

[bold fulcrum]

Are there any division 2 actor's that do any cameo's? As in you pay them and you can ask them to say something as they're character

[lilac remnant]

does everyone have the same invaded weekly missions? im hopefully one rotation away from nemesis

[cedar schooner]

Yes

[timber quartz]

where do you guys farm a specific exotic? I am running summit floor 10 on repeat since yesterday and I dont get anything

[foggy needle]

summit and countdown target loot are the best place for exotic farming. a few exotics are not in target loot pool though and require exotic cache farming or require owning the blue print 1st.

[karmic shuttle]

anyone have a good close up image of the grizzly helmet?

[lilac remnant]

best thing is countdown for exotics. target what it is, the extraction phase has the greater chance of drops(named gear) and you buy exotic caches with the currency it gives you. i got catharthis, scorpio and memento back to back in the caches.(didnt know about the vendor for it so had 3k stashed up)

[crimson dagger]

Hello I am a returning player on a fresh account and was wondering how to see targeted loot ?

[split bronze]

I think it’s down on the dpad

[crimson dagger]

On the map ?

[split bronze]

Yea. Open the map up. It should also tell u on the bottom left of the screen when the map is open

[split bronze]

^

[crimson dagger]

Ok I’ll take a look thank you I read somewhere you need to be world tier 5 to see it

[timber quartz]

ooh alright, I am also looking for memento

[storm river]

hold i think i have it lemme check'

[turbid igloo]

Coyote mask dropped should i replace it with the ceska mask?

[cedar yacht]

only if you get a ceska backpack

[turbid igloo]

Exactly what i'm planning

But i think there's a problem here

Memento is necessary for the shield HP to rise

[vagrant locust]

Anybody else getting delta 05 errors if not how do I fix it

[turbid igloo]

Common crashes

[next perch]

What's the difference between opening a dz chest with keys or going rouge to open it?

[turbid igloo]

I think rogue breaks it but takes more time

Idk never opened a lil dz cache

[hallow raptor]

Using a key or 20 seconds as a rogue. I usually choose rogue and save my keys for when I need to open one quick, like swooping in in to snatch it from an active landmark….

[next perch]

So no difference In loot quality?

[hallow raptor]

Nope

[next perch]

Ok thanks

[marble zinc]

what is FFRD mean? i seen it on lfg raid

[cedar yacht]

Uh Some made up term to sound fancy and experienced probably

[hallow raptor]

Never heard it before. How was it used? Context?

[vagrant locust]

Anybody else getting constant delta errors on PlayStation how do you fix this I just want to play it

[valid bronze]

Is there a setting to turn off cross hair completely

[marble zinc]

thanks

[paper pier]

Hi. The Lost Ellis Memos are on an especific mission or have to do something especific to get it

[turbid igloo]

Any tip to defeat legendary

[mellow trout]

Afaik offense is your best defence

Doesn't matter how much you can tank you'll get overwhelmed

[mystic narwhal]

Anyone get the feeling there are still secrets left to be found in the game?

Some things seem to specific to just mundane items

[fallow inlet]

Hey Buddha

@mystic narwhal still missing an Easter egg noone found

On any platform

[mystic narwhal]

Interesting🤔

[fallow inlet]

We all know where the rest are and the devs said there's 1 laft

[mystic narwhal]

Yeah, most of the stuff I’ve seen seems like people gave up like a year ago so I wasn’t sure

[fallow inlet]

2 easiest ones are the zoo and ivy tunnel

[mystic narwhal]

For some reason I’m still stuck on the lighted blue jugs…those can’t be nothing

[fallow inlet]

Have you done the hidden hotels

[mystic narwhal]

I’ve run in to a couple of them but haven’t really gone out of my way to seek them out

[fallow inlet]

Then you missed an easy easteregg

Door opens in Washington monument

And a fun challenge

[mystic narwhal]

Interesting

[fallow inlet]

There all over the map and bad guys can't go in them

Do all the hotels flip all switches in them

Then goto Washington monument go downstairs to the light on wall hit button there and opens door where you came down the rope

[mystic narwhal]

I will definitely check it out

[fallow inlet]

In the zoo shoot hives then press button here's super chunga

Named

[fresh vault]

Okay, somehow some of my mods (always the same) are constantly being put in my stash, anyone knows why? I have an assumption of what it is but I don't want to say it to prevent bias.

[little dagger]

Probably already answered somewhere but is the current apparel event bugged? Seems like I’ve not gotten any event keys for quite a while?

[hallow raptor]

Free keys ended last week, can only purchase items for the last week of the apparel event. Been that way since the first apparel event.

[molten vault]

where to get the Kingbreaker Assault Rifle ?

[cedar yacht]

Farm ARs

[hallow raptor]

Yup, AR targeted loot

Do i have to reset the whole manhunt to play "auntie" fight again ?

what means AR ?

[prisma basalt]

Assault Rifle

[molten vault]

ok thanks

How much more hours until weekly reset?

[narrow matrix]

3

[narrow kraken]

Okay ty

[torn tangle]

is there a map of all the caches in DZ with currency. WHite death is finally on sale but i have like 2

[mellow trout]

Honestly if you want one of those just go countdown

[bold fulcrum]

Would stovepipe be actually be good for the division if he was recruited by then instead of being shot dead?

[loud saddle]

hi

can someone help me level up plz

[dull bane]

Heh, I completely forgot there was even field research for the specs. I think I might have done some for demo sometime after release but none for the other specs. No time like the present to start with it I suppose 😛

It'll be a fun thing to do even if I already have all specs unlocked. (year 1 pass from wony ultimate)

[fresh vault]

How many bosses level 90 Summit?

[stoic bear]

So when is dumb game is going to nurf convoys

[sudden snow]

I got disconnected twice when running Auntie League mission, did anything happened to the server?

[burnt mason]

anyone got disconnected while running space administration HQ?

got DC'd twice so far

[summer dragon]

If im matching with a friend who's starting out as a max level character, what level will the enemies be?

[sudden snow]

just happened to me twice when doing that subway mission next to the space admin hq

now I keep disconnected in the white house while my ping is fine

[dull bane]

What's wrong with convoys anyway? Too much xp?

[next sail]

It applies a co-op buff
So you do more damage and your friend will do less dmage for a level playing field

[loud saddle]

technically they award 2x the amount they're intended to (map number versus actual rewarded number) so they're fixing that as well as dropping the rewarded xp as they think it's a bit too high

[summer dragon]

is it balanced at least or is there gonna be shenenigans

[dull bane]

Ah, I never really chased convoys anyway unless I wanted to bring up a control point to 3 or I just happened to run across them.

[next sail]

Yup balanced

[dull bane]

Do all control points start out as lvl 3 on challenging?

I've been playing on hard

[next sail]

Yes 4 is heroic

[summer dragon]

thanks

[dull bane]

ah right

Will save me time if I wanna farm for blueprints, instead of having to do other activities to get the cps up.

Besides, hard starts to feel a bit too easy 😛

[next sail]

Yup should be doing challenging (for easy) anyway
Hard doesn't really reward you with anything

[dull bane]

Though I do accidently mess up and die anyway (using the directive that turns off threat directions)

It does me good though, because it makes me pay more attention to my positioning and look more at the world and not so much the radar.

Shame it also turns off the display for ammo crates 😛

I did accidently bring up a cp to lvl 4 though, it was kind of hell solo. Was definitely not prepared for that at that point. I survived, but it took ages.

[bold fulcrum]

any good way to do the true sons headshot league here?

[quasi niche]

im doing sinkhole cp on challenging with white death determined build ... thats like 40 hs kills or so per run and takes about 5minutes , but there surely are faster ways

[dull bane]

How does the league goals work anyway? Do I have to do jefferson plaza 10 times for the full medal?

[quasi niche]

you do it once ... and get X/10 points for whatever time you finish

shouldnt be hard to get 10

[dull bane]

So, 10 times for the full 10

[loud saddle]

^ you just gotta go as fast as or faster than the 10/10 time goal

[mellow trout]

Yeah they're all on challenging/hard anyways they're a breeze

[dull bane]

Ah

[loud saddle]

no, you do it once per week (two weeks total for leagues)

[dull bane]

First time doing a league for me

[loud saddle]

if you do not hit the 10/10 time goal you can always try again to get faster tho, but once you get the 10/10 goal you wont get any additional award for it that week

[quasi niche]

4 missions, each mission once , just use matchmaking and you will get the best time easy

this week especially there are no "hard" ones

[mellow trout]

I'll probably skip the true sons/tusk stuff and just get the rest of the rewards next week

[quasi niche]

tusk is easy tho ... do the 3 weekly invaded missions, play any build + emp pulse , and just emp everytime you have it

after 2 missions you should be done actually

[mellow trout]

Oh shit I forgot emp disrupts

[narrow kraken]

Is Washington hotel invaded this week

[quasi niche]

nope

[loud saddle]

bolts table to floor before he can flip it

[mellow trout]

I have too many nemesis rifles I'd give like 3 away

[fallow inlet]

Time to proficiency them

[mellow trout]

I never use marksman rifles

[loud saddle]

sacrifice them to lootcifer and pray he rewards you with good gear

[mellow trout]

Idk if I'm missing out on much but I'm on console and rarely hit the head lol

[mellow trout]

Still no ceska obliterate chest 😭

[dull bane]

Decided to try one solo, 8/10 at least. Was pretty fun.

[loud saddle]

that requires a teammate sacrifice, to the dz with you....or murder one of your teammates in the LZ to help get that rng up

[mellow trout]

😭

Game only gave me a Scorpio after months of on/off summit and countdown

[loud saddle]

oof

[mellow trout]

Whenever I got a sweet dreams I just decided to stop playing lol

[loud saddle]

I feel ya, I keep getting Prophets and it's like a slap in the face anymore...

there's a designated box at the white house anymore where agents just walk by and toss Prophets in. lol

[autumn nest]

Is it possible to get exotics from countdown?

[loud saddle]

yes

[autumn nest]

On every difficulty or?

[loud saddle]

afaik every difficulty, but I've personally not tried anything below the challenging difficulty (the original release difficulty)

[autumn nest]

Alright, thanks. Just trying to get memento rn.

[mellow trout]

I think you can on any, it's just better drop rate the higher the difficulty

[somber crown]

Does incoming repairs also count for this tech-repair thingy?

[dim crag]

Artificer? Afaik yes

[dull bane]

Nice, 10/10 on dcd, the timer really forces me to up my game and play more aggressively.

[mellow trout]

You can afford to pretty much just run and gun everything on the league missions

[dull bane]

I'm trash though, so this helps me play faster/better instead of just sitting around in cover taking shots from afar.

Still feel like a complete noob

Not been back in the game for so long (3 weeks perhaps), before that was before loot 2.0 and I played extremely casually.

Well, not a complete noob, prob people worse than me but still

[mellow trout]

How's your build

[dull bane]

Well, it's improving. It's a skill build with hana u, empress, test subject etc.

Not decided what to go for though, so it's mostly something to use for now.

[rough pecan]

wasn't the hollow man mask in the general loot pool before?

[mellow trout]

Isn't it a dz thing

I've never seen one

[rough pecan]

definitely players from day one can provide the answers

what is a good way to farm yaahl gear?

OOOH, i saw gameplay on YT so i thought its out

[prisma basalt]

it was on the test server

[jaunty vault]

?

[rough pecan]

that's definitely DZ

[jaunty vault]

yea i know

[cedar yacht]

Because its a dz only drop

[jaunty vault]

but is there a good way to farm them?

[cedar yacht]

yeah the dz because thats the only place to get them or wait for them to appear in the dz vendor for yaahl mat

or wait for the dev to rerelease the blueprints

[karmic shuttle]

@storm river hi sorry for the ping, i think you forgot to send a image

OMFG i updated the ubisoft software unchecked the login in and now i have pressed my password 3 times wrong and now im suspended???????? it says press the recover password link wich i did and its done, but im still suspended?? for how long LOL ???

[loud saddle]

quick google search says 75 minutes (if that information is correct)

[plucky isle]

man i cant even login on ubisoft website 😦

[loud saddle]

according to another site it says wait atleast an hour, might need to wait up to 24hours. and softlocks can't be removed by support either according to one source.

[plucky isle]

dang... what a evening for me for just pressing it wrong 😦

[dull bane]

Umm.. is there something special in federal emergency bunker invasion that disables pulse entirely?

Or can pulse bug out and not reactivate after getting hit by an emp

It's really annoying not being able to use it for the disruptions

Welp, hugging a tank helped (me die), now it's working again.

[crimson dagger]

Is it possible to get lady death farming smg targeted loot in dc ?

[tulip fiber]

Yes. Also, can do same in Countdown.

[narrow kraken]

I’m flippin that damn table

WHY IS WASHINGTON HOTEL NOT INVADED JEASUS

[daring oar]

Yo when should I start making builds??

After finishing new york?

Or what

[loud saddle]

wait until after NY to really spend time focusing on specific builds

up until then you're just equipping better stuff to get through the story most of the time

that's not to say you can't build before then, but most likely you'll trash it for the next best thing within the next few minutes/next mission completion.

[stray spruce]

what does this star on top of that means

oontop of the damage

[fathom spruce]

means in that metric you were highest of the team

[stray spruce]

oh damn zoo wee mama

[tall girder]

alright so i just opened 4 exotic caches from grinding countdown and they all dropped the one exotic assault rifle you get from summit, am i just that unlucky or whats up with that?

[wispy merlin]

you're just unlucky

[tall girder]

jesus christ thats just awful luck lmao

also, what are the best ways to complete the "neutralise rouge agents" quest?

can i just go farm someone in DZ or does it have to be an ai

[wispy merlin]

it refers to the unique npcs that spawn at random

so, the AI, yes

[tall girder]

any optimal place to get them to spawn? Been doing summit so far

[wispy merlin]

it's just rng

[tall girder]

rip

[wispy merlin]

just do whatever you would be doing otherwise

[surreal pivot]

must have my luck. been grinding summit for 3 days to get chameleon and the only weapon i keep getting is the merciless lol

thats actually a good follow up to somethin ive been wondering. is it normal to get exotics that arent part of the targeted loot? i know its not a guarantee but every exotic ive gotten has been anything but an assault rifle

[torn tangle]

anyone gotten a "white death" from a mob today ? Been farming summit for almost a week. FOund out when it was to late it was on DZ vendor..

[flat stone]

Countdown

[wispy merlin]

it's completely normal, in fact some exotic drops are not affected whatsoever by targeted loot

[surreal pivot]

gotcha wanted to make sure i wasnt missing something. thank you

[hard turret]

Wait till you get my luck 12 days of countdown for the cartharsis mask still no mask

[muted isle]

If I pop my SC medkit right before tenacity ends, will tenacity damage my bonus armor, or will it skip the bonus armor and hit my white armor?

[surreal pivot]

i actually just got that an hour ago lmao

[hard turret]

I am crying you wanna get together and farm up I can help you get chameleon

[surreal pivot]

sure im pretty low level so dont expect much

[hard turret]

Ok pm me

[cedar carbon]

Do I have to be a certain level to get exotic drops?

[fluid sapphire]

so I've been running either heartbreaker or hunter's fury, 'cause I love the feel of the builds; what specials should I be trying in place of reviver, in order to bring more use to group activities?

[next sail]

No but few do need to be crafted before they are added to the loot pool and couple of them are raid/dz exclusive

[next sail]

Could try Banshee for hunters fury since its a run n gun build

[narrow kraken]

I got mine doing the jumping jacks bit on the hunters.
Head to the far west side of the West End region and look for the swimming pool.

Stand in the middle of the pool and perform the Jumping Jacks emote. This will cause both Hunters to spawn at the same time. Make sure you’ve completed the relevant mission in this area first though, otherwise they won’t spawn.

You have to do jumping jacks at night, your know if it's correct as the pool lights will be red.

[stoic bear]

Devs really fucked up

No fix for army appearance bug and nurf convoys. What the fuck are they doing to the game

Armor

All you knew playing are enjoying the game cause it’s “new” but once that wears off you’ll be pissed

[thorn hedge]

I still enjoy it

[fast junco]

Convoys are back where they were pre nerf, but yeah were either headed downhill or this is the flat space before we go back up again

[stray spruce]

anybody has any idea where i can get the 50 round mag for my vector

[fast junco]

Blueprint should drop from either DC side mission or from level 3 or 4 control points

It'll be a random blueprint each cp though

[stray spruce]

my ass is sweating from farming cps and nothing yet

[fast junco]

Well, keep at it and it'll drop eventually

I'd recommend knocking out all blueprints eventually though

[stray spruce]

what does rng mean

[fast junco]

Random number generator

But it typically refers to the odds of something 🫳

Dropping

Dunno why it did that emoji lol

oh i got a stupid question;
when opening an exotic cache, does the targeted loot of the area you stand in have any influence whatsoever?

[plucky mesa]

no

[narrow kraken]

Nope. Only if they drop in the open world

[narrow kraken]

All the hunters who drop masks U can get those hunters to spawn. But boy do they take time, shoot here, wait here, timing, etc... And U stuff up slightly and U have to reset and do it in a friend's server.

[tall girder]

yea thats what i assumed, thatnks

[tall girder]

how hard are they to kill

[narrow kraken]

Typical hunters. The one by the pool I told you about come in a pair. Usual fry gadgets etc.

Ones in New York that take forever to spawn as U have to shoot hidden targets. Open up generators around the map at the right time and if U mess you have to use a friend's server. That spawns 3-4 hunters.

[narrow kraken]

https://www.gamesradar.com/the-division-2-masks-hunters-locations/

Check that out and if U want more info on a perticular hunter just google it. Many have details walkthroughs and tbh they are needed at times. Your need to kill all 13 and get 8 off white keys in order to get the all black dye and the masks to wear

[knotty cargo]

where can i find elite scorchers to farm please ?

[lone haven]

roosevelt island

[knotty cargo]

any difficulity ?

[lone haven]

well, id sugeest heroic for elites

[knotty cargo]

ty, it worked, i just kept killing one and dying to adds

[autumn nest]

Hey. Can someone help me with recalibration stuff? I wanna put some armor on my green gloves but it doesn't let me do it. ( It says this slot cannot be recalibrated )

[knotty cargo]

another question, i'm in a middle of a stronghold solo

can i leave (go to white house) and come back at the same point ?

or i have to restart from 0 ?

[fallow inlet]

Ok stronghold will start over

[tall girder]

i just need 2 of em for the weekly project but thanks anyway

[nimble spruce]

You can only recalibrate one stat per item, although you can recalibrate that one as many times as you like.

[autumn nest]

ah okey, thank you.

[rough pecan]

i should upgrade my gear whenever i get an expertise level +1 yeah?

[loud saddle]

the most beneficial would be weapons and skills imho, the armor wont show much difference most of the time, but atleast the increased firepower is always useful. but yeah, if you got the mats and it's a weapon/skill you use often, sure.

[rough pecan]

curious about how the armor not showing much difference when you've upgraded it

[loud saddle]

I mean, it'll change but you're only talking a 120% buff or so of your base armor (at lvl 20 expertise) which really isn't that much so during the process you'll probably not even notice a difference in your armor. shrug personal opinion ofcourse

[summer dragon]

hey there, what's the go-to method for farming coyote's mask now?

[lone haven]

get em quite often from jefferson trade, but mask target loot should also get decent results

[summer dragon]

do you get them often with or without the mask preferred?

[rough pecan]

got a tkb with CHD & fast hands...sad but which of these should i change up?

[foggy needle]

swap out for dtooc, fast hands still good

[lime fossil]

Will there be a level increase from 40 to 50 in year 5?

[foggy needle]

unknown what the new dlc will bring

[agile sedge]

What do people do to get high armor and high damage? I have a 6 blue 1 red core build with all red attributes for crit chance and damage with perfect unbreakable vest and memento using a lady death. I’m still being out killed by most people with the famas, same cores and attributes

[mellow trout]

I'll cry

[opaque moss]

everyone gets the same invaded missions when it resets right?

[mellow trout]

Yea

[opaque moss]

rip, was gonna see if I could cheese the washington hotel for the last piece of the nemesis

maybe next week lmao

[loud saddle]

trick is to not want Washington Hotel....the game knows you need it and refuses to give it to us. "I don't need it, I don't need it, ..."

[mellow trout]

I got lucky enough to have it invaded the week I decided I wanted to get all the craftable exotics lol

[next sail]

Its been 6 weeks someone mentioned since last washington invaded 🤦‍♂️

[foggy needle]

longest gap ive seen is 7 weeks between invaded hotel. that said it still is RNG.

it was last invaded on 4-4-23 fyi

[next sail]

Got ya thank you
Do you just randomly remember or you check somewhere ?

[foggy needle]

checked reddit 😛

[narrow kraken]

to get this mask should i put in counttdown mask or diglas and ,... ??

[wispy merlin]

put belstone armory

[foggy needle]

target loot in summit or countdown are the best places to farm (farm its brand fyi)

[narrow kraken]

Mask sry

Its named tho thats why i am asking

[loud saddle]

farm brand over gear slot (loot pool is smaller)

[dim crag]

Always target loot the brand

[summer dragon]

Where do i farm steel?

[next sail]

Best method- watch levels
Or steel is dropped by True sons and weapons i believe

[autumn nest]

Hey guys. I need a bit of help. I'm doing my gunner spec. objectives and I dunno where to find these enemies.

I've been killing some legendary tier enemies on the streets but no luck.

[loud saddle]

you're looking for the dudes with the lmgs (usually drop down on ground in prone position). hit up some true sons areas, usually they got quite a bit of em.

pretty sure they also have the special icon above their head, like a series of 3 bullets IIRC (been awhile since I've paid attention to it)

[autumn nest]

Alright, thanks.

[dusk wolf]

Is there a way to change how your character looks after you start? I made my guy 4 years ago and I don't like the fact he is bald and I want to give him hair

[loud saddle]

you can visit the barber in the white house

in the same general area as the hunter lock box (enter front of white house, turn right down hallway, and it's almost an immediate right once again near some lockers and some bunkbeds.)

[dusk wolf]

Oh geez, thank you so much I never even knew this was here

[fluid sapphire]

question; if I'm already running hunter's fury, does it make more sense to run banshees (extra CC on humanz) or jammer (to shut down robotics)?

[versed pumice]

The cc hf has is plenty

But banshee pulse is good

[hardy bane]

anyone know the best way to farm for the chameleon??

[loud saddle]

bounties, ar target to help even more, but seems to be very common from bounties

[tawdry pilot]

Is it worth playing on the heroic difficulty?

[dim crag]

I mean, if you want to

Assuming this is for open world, you'll be farming your gear outside of that so, whatever you prefer

[tawdry pilot]

But if I want better loot, is it worth it?

[zealous ether]

countdown/bounties

[cedar yacht]

Youll get higher quality rolls so if you can handle it then its worth it

[dim crag]

Like I said, you will farm that in Countdown/Summit

So for open world, preference

Only time I'm out in open world is CPs and if I'm bored and wanna enjoy the scenary

[tawdry pilot]

Okay, thank you for the information.

[hardy bane]

Cheers guys, done 4 bounties and just got the chameleon!

[loud saddle]

\o/

[dull bane]

You can even change between male/female.

Something I totally missed. Only saw the function for changing bodytype today.

[wraith flare]

its a pretty recent addition

[dull bane]

It is?

How recent

[wraith flare]

pretty sure its from this year

[foggy needle]

i think last season

[dull bane]

Ah, well.. I've only been back in the game since like 4 weeks back.

So, it's been there the entire time 😛

[wraith flare]

yup s10

so actually last year

[surreal pivot]

i hate you

[crimson dagger]

Does anyone know if Scorpio can drop from targeted shotgun on summit ?

[thorny swallow]

yes it can

[hardy bane]

Just done 4 on hard and somehow got it haha

[surreal pivot]

done all the hard and challenging ones i had. stuck doin all the normal ones

[wraith flare]

does anyone know how clan xp works

I've never understood if its 1:1 or a % of xp earned

[hasty glacier]

From what I’m reading from different sources, it looks like 1:1 ..but projects, conflict, activities with clan mates as your group look as if they yield more cxp ….nothing I read had any definitive answers …sorry not much help .drib

[burnt cradle]

Hi, higher difficulty rank gives better loot, does that also affect the amount of optimization materials?

[knotty cargo]

Drones and cars in summit doesn't count ????????

[burnt cradle]

@knotty cargo Do it on ow in normal

[rugged stratus]

invaded missions, ezpz

[prisma basalt]

Does Hunters fury status not work with vindictive

[cedar yacht]

It should

[prisma basalt]

must be bugged or somethin

cuz instead of working on kills its just proccing at random times

[cedar yacht]

well not the debuff but the after kill disorientate

[surreal pivot]

does the quality of loot increase as you go up floors on summit? im farmin floor 10 for exotics, do i have a better chance if i do 20, 30, etc.?

[tough marsh]

No.

[surreal pivot]

dope thanks

[hallow raptor]

Not really, just more named enemies, and they tend to drop quality loot… that’s why I like to farm floor 90 on repeat, 3 named bosses.

[lost dust]

what nvida drivers are we all using??

[cedar carbon]

How do I unlock the crafting for them?

[hallow raptor]

Depends on the exotic. What’s your current level?

[cedar carbon]

30

[hallow raptor]

World tier?

[cedar carbon]

Where do I check that?

[hallow raptor]

Do you have red invaded mission? Try opening the map and look in the upper right corner. Or have you finished all the blue strongholds?

Mainly the Capital stronghold

[surreal pivot]

how hard is that floor? never tried to go that high before. to put it in perspective my build right now is just barely strong enough to handle heroic

[hallow raptor]

So iirc you need to be at least on world tier 1 for exotics to drop. But it’s better to wait till world tier 5 because if you get them before that they will be under powered once you move up in world tiers. You can reconfigure them to world tier 5 though, or to level 40 if you get the warlords expansion.

[cedar carbon]

Yes

[cedar carbon]

Ah alr

[hallow raptor]

Probably better to stay on 10 then

[surreal pivot]

lmao

[hallow raptor]

The npc’s get tougher the higher you go, more bosses ( named enemies), and more heavies / chungas

[surreal pivot]

okay well whats the lowest 10th level that has multiple bosses?

[hallow raptor]

80 I think? Don’t know, I stay on 90, always have the check point….

[stray spruce]

should i do a walker harris piece the brand set gives me 5% weapons damage and then the core attribute with 15 which makes it 20% damage with crit chance and crit damage maxed out or fox prayer instead with 8% dmg to target out of cover and 15% core damage

[round hull]

best way to get SHD calibration mats for someone who is barely near 800 shd?

[next sail]

Level up to 1000 as soon as possible then from watch

[round hull]

welp, guess I'm not too far from that

[distant walrus]

I'm at 300 SHD lololol

[split bronze]

Best way to get named items? Looking for the sacrifice and contractors gloves

[distant walrus]

I did it in countdown lol

It's how I got contractor, foxes, and Picario

Took about almost a month

Well less

[stray spruce]

i know i asked this question before and someone tried explained but it went right over my head

how does expertise work

[dire valve]

countdown extract, hunters at the end will almost always drop 1 or 2 but not dz ones, plus you get cd vendor currency to buy named caches

[pliant hinge]

Is td2 down right now??

[north bone]

Hello i can't see any items in the castle vendor, anyone know what to do?

[nimble spruce]

Depends on the rest of your build, the main factor is that the weapon damage from wh is additive with all your other sources of weapon damage, but the dtooc from Foxes is multiplicative, so if you have lots of red cores then foxes is often the better choice (at least for a high end build where you've got lots of crit)

[nimble spruce]

Use/donate stuff to get proficiency levels. These add together to raise your expertise level, use your expertise level to upgrade stuff.

[trail urchin]

say guys, world difficulty doesnt change anytthing anymore ? (I havent launched the game for perhaps over a year, sorry)

[dim crag]

Gives you better loot drops

[burnt cradle]

Hi, higher difficulty rank gives better loot, does that also affect the amount of optimization materials?

[storm river]

Projects

[storm river]

Ya, field recon at least

[storm river]

Mike-01 error is maintenance

[burnt cradle]

@storm river ok thx

[hardy shore]

i just came back from a 3 year hiatus and finished wony campaign, what missions should i do to improve my character?

[rugged stratus]

All of them on the highest difficulty you can manage. You'll get better gear the higher the difficulty as well as more xp to build watch to 1000 SHD and beyond.

[hardy shore]

is there still ilvls for items?

[next sail]

For items no max is 40
Thats just your watch level it gives you bonus attributes like accuracy stability damage critical hit chance critical hit damage etc etc

[hardy shore]

oh, so difficulty would influence only the rolls on items?

and what activities do people do atm? some missions take a very long time to matchmake

[cedar schooner]

Heroic missions are pretty common, best luck is randomly matchmaking for them though

Countdown challenging/heroic

I think mostly open world activities are what people run

[hardy shore]

ok thanks

[near escarp]

how are ppl shocking these hunters in cd?

Scorpio probably

Hey all, finally got the Overlords of New York on Xbox. Coming back a few years after playing the base game.
Please share your tips for a casual solo player. Is the campaign going to be very challenging?

It seems like my level is boosted to 30 and I have a bunch of weapons/items and in the first encounters didn't feel very underpowered

[mellow trout]

Itll be manageable enough

Just constantly switch out your gear for better stuff until you reach level 40

[fallow inlet]

Hey Kettle, Random, RIRI

Hey I have some extra SHD tech from the caches but I'm not sure where to use it. I already have all the skills and I think I've gotten all the chests in the new york safe houses, is there somewhere else to spend it that I'm missing? I have 14 left if that helps

If there's nothing else then I guess I'll just go double check those spots

[loud saddle]

you'll have some extra (my main has 9, my alt has 12) so yeah, it's normal.

[frail bane]

ok thanks

[jade summit]

Why does TD2 keep saying I have a debugger running? Last time it said this I had to completely close Steam and Discord to make it stop.

[rugged stratus]

probably has to do with the overlay either can provide

[torn tangle]

is there such a thing as "best weapons" while leveling ? or just whatever has highest dmg ?

[wispy merlin]

just the highest level weapon you have

[clever ocean]

why aren't you using crit weapon mods

you use 8x scope if you're a focus nerd, and +20 mag always, but yes generally crit mods are good

[dim crag]

You don't really have room for that, especially on gear set builds

You have to spec into crit all the way

[clever ocean]

oh man it's so disappointing how trash the new gearset is

wish they would've made a pve one instead

[knotty cargo]

THE GUY BACKPACK isn't his weakpoint wtf

anyone knows how to do this ?

[loud saddle]

you shoot the weakpoint on their backpack, see here: https://youtu.be/n-kAybfjgZg?t=90

[knotty cargo]

nvm i'm stupid, i was trying on first boss

it's the second one

how to make a stronghold invaded mode ?

[loud saddle]

you don't you wait until it's in the invaded cycle IIRC. (if it's in the invaded cycle though you can just toggle mission mode if you've accidentally toggled it away from invaded mode or completed it already that week)

[knotty cargo]

can't talk to this npc (wally) any clue why please ?

[hardy bane]

Whats the best way to farm Memento backpack??

Also whats a good primary assault to use with the scorpio? Using the invisible hand atm

[north bone]

Anyone know what to do? Standing in Base of Ops

Its the Cursed manhunt

[near escarp]

if i increase my global difficulty will that reset my manhunt progress?

[prisma basalt]

No

[prisma basalt]

Countdown target loot backpacks and buying the exotic cache

[crimson dagger]

Is countdown better then floor 10 summit for Scorpio ?

[nimble spruce]

do you have any side missions still to do in West Potomac Park? (Specifically, I think it's one to do with recovering a downed drone that causes the issue)

[fallow inlet]

Hey Kettle

[grizzled pike]

Question for you fine people. I have a decent PC build for streaming and gaming at the same time. However, even when I'm not running any programs for streaming, I still experience a lot of crashes on Div 2 specifically. I've done all the workarounds I found on the internet but that only increased the time I can play before a crash by ~20 minutes. I plan on playing DZ A LOT on-stream, but I can't do that if the game constantly crashes. Here's my build:
CPU: Intel Core i7-11700F
GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060
RAM: 2x8GB 3600 DDR4 (Unsure on the company)

Is there any way for me to completely get rid of the crashes? If so, how?

These crashes only happen on Div 2. I can easily play a really GPU and CPU intensive game on max settings without issue

[vapid folio]

Is it normal for people to instantly kick you from Countdown groups when you're low SHD level? (I'm level 41). It's happened a few times now. I have a good build, I know what to do, and I pull my weight 😦

[fallow inlet]

yes there just buttholes

[grizzled pike]

Unfortunately it is. I've also been kicked from higher difficulty Countdowns because I'm only SHD 30. I've played since Y1 and I also know what to do.

[cedar carbon]

Is it possible for a higher level player to take a lower level one into a raid?

[hallow raptor]

Yes, we’ve taken level 30 players into a level 40 raid before. But there is also a level 30 raid available….

[cedar carbon]

Ah alr. I’m trying to get the eagle bearer, but I have no exotics and I’m level 30 world level 2

Would it be possible to get?

[hallow raptor]

Get to world tier 5 first and then get a decent dps build…

[tardy scroll]

Ok, dumb question, but does steel drop more from true sons on lower difficulties? Because I usually run on heroic and I'm getting like 2 steel drops and 20 carbon fiber drops per mission

[cedar carbon]

Alright, thanks

[clever ocean]

try disabling the overlay

[stray spruce]

any good pvp builds?

[hallow raptor]

Check the hubs tab on the pinned spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice

[grizzled pike]

I did that. That's the first thing I did

[sudden snow]

"f*ck this shit I'm out" moment

One of the only things left exclusive in this game 🙂

[fast junco]

Gotta love fomo content

[steady terrace]

Exactly its BS season track and manhunts should be according to canon order if people missed them and should update to latest manhunt/season track only if player has done everything

How can u make a game and break the flow of story like its mind boggling

Should add these BPs back to cps

[rugged stratus]

It's not worth it. It can be farmed with way better stats

Agents joining after events miss out on stuff. Irl if you came in after an event you shouldnt get accolades of others work for doing nothing.

I will check this when o get on. Thank you😬

guys, a friend of mine just unlocked some previous seasons skill mods but I don't see any on my map (and yes, I don't have em). Any clues? And which are still obtainable?

[mellow trout]

They're all obtainable through the season track

[round hull]

what does that mean? What do I look for?

[mellow trout]

Play enough and you'll unlock them as you go

Check the season rewards track to see Ur progress

[round hull]

bro I'm level 100 in the season since like 2 months ago, if that's what you mean

[mellow trout]

Then check Ur map

They're all hidden behind other missions

Coney, pentco Fairview, tidal basin, Roosevelt, Jefferson trade center, white oak, maybe more I don't remember

[round hull]

damn, I'll have to remove the black tusk from every mission first lol

[mellow trout]

Nope you can switch

There's a button for it when you hover over the icon idk what it is on pc

[nimble spruce]

Only 4 have skills - Roosevelt, tidal, Coney Island amusement park, white oak

[round hull]

I don't see anything different 😦

[nimble spruce]

Open mission options and look for the toggle mission mode prompt

[round hull]

ok ok lemme check

oohhh ok, that's what I was missing, I wasn't pressing G again

thx

[golden crown]

how do i check if I got d2 warlord ultimate edition or normal one on ubisoft connect ?
and If I buy a ultimate edition on steam and connect to my Ubisoft account do i keep my progress ?

[golden geode]

Yes because both versions still use ubisoft connect

[golden crown]

Is there anyway to check if I got ultimate edition on my ubisoft connect ? the UI is a bit confusing haha

[nimble spruce]

Check your inventory and stash, if you find a couple of level one exotics called Lullaby and Ruthless then you definitely have the ultimate edition.

[golden crown]

aye thanks

[dull bane]

Lullaby was part of the ultimate edition?

I had ruthless

And I bought the Wony ultimate ed.

[nimble spruce]

afaik both generally come together, you can buy the pack with them separately but I didn't think you got one without the other

[dull bane]

Not seeing any info on exactly what the ultimate pack contains other than "Includes the instant unlock of all 6 endgame specializations, the Battleworn secret service pack, the First Responder pack, the Elite Agent pack, 1 exclusive emote, 1 exclusive outfit"

No, looks like the ultimate edition just has ruthless

Lullaby is in capitol defenders pack which is not included in wony ultimate by the look of it.

The collectors editions (dark zone and phoenix shield) do however, but the dark zone collectors edition does not have ruthless.

[dim crag]

Yep, no Lullaby in Ultimate

I bought it and only got Ruthless

[nimble spruce]

hmm ok thanks, will try and remember the two don't necessarily go together

[dim crag]

I think you need the year 1 pass for it or something

[nimble spruce]

not the year one pass, that just comes with the spec unlock and the classified missions (and a couple of skins)

[dim crag]

I know there's a pack in the in game store to get it + skill skins

[dull bane]

You can get both ruthless and lullaby by simply playing though?

[nimble spruce]

nope, you can only get merciless and sweet dreams

[dull bane]

Ah

I didn't particularly like Ruthless tbh.

[nimble spruce]

it's a terrible weapon yeah

[dull bane]

A weapon fit for a stormtrooper

Though tbh, I doubt it was ever meant to be all that good.

[dim crag]

Shit slaps when you start out tho

I used it up until like, lvl 10 or something

It being lvl 1 haha, the explosion is spicy at low levels

Not so much at 40

[narrow kraken]

Hi,

Can someone explain to me please how I fully upgrade my workbench. It shows 3/6 and 300 of 350 or so. But I don't gent any blueprints from projects or control points.

Thx

[dull bane]

I mean, that's what a lot of starter gear does, helps you start off and most of the time you never use it again after gaining a few levels.

Once in a blue moon you get something from deluxe/whatevers editions that end up being good even at endgame. Think there has been a ring or two in some game I used for a long time.

[bronze grove]

Could just be blueprints you unlock in other ways

Like raid exclusives

Then the 3/6 is exotics

[narrow kraken]

Allright, thanks.

[bronze grove]

The chatterbox, regulus, liberty, nemesis, ridgeway and dodge city

[next sail]

Glitched ?

Isn't cassie closed tho ?

[nimble spruce]

Some blueprints came from previous seasons and can no longer be obtained, some are bugged and no-one can get them.

[dull bane]

You can't even get them from legacy caches?

I mean, this is my first season so I dunno how it works.

[nimble spruce]

You only get items from caches, not blueprints

[dull bane]

Ah

[next sail]

Yea i am stuck at like 293
So yea its normal

[nimble spruce]

Devs might make them accessible in the future, it's a regularly requested thing

I've done every season and still have 343/350 or something

[dull bane]

Btw, is it possible to adjust the levelup popups etc?

Like, if it's resizable like a lot of other ui elements.

[nimble spruce]

Dunno, you'd have to check the ui editor

[dull bane]

Will do, honestly not used the ui editor yet, I just know it exists

[dull bane]

Is grenade dmg affected by skill or weapon dmg?

Though I suppose It'd prob be easier to do the "kill 3 enemies with 1 grenade" tech field research on normal.

[foggy needle]

depends on the grenade but skill damage and weapon damage dont effect them (they arent guns and arent skills).

status effect (if they have one IE foam grenade/ fire grenade), explosive and amps effect them.

[dull bane]

So, no shd bonus affects them then

[foggy needle]

correct

[dull bane]

(unless they can crit)

[foggy needle]

nope only guns can crit

[dull bane]

Been spending my shd points a little here and there. Not sure what kind of weapon dmg I should put points in or if I should prio skill dmg or skill haste. Been putting even points in health/armor and only put points in ammo capacity.

I'm only shd level 82 atm.

[foggy needle]

doesnt matter really as you max them all at level 999

[dull bane]

Well yeah, but until then..

[foggy needle]

max 1 at a time then

[loud saddle]

i would def go armor before health in that subsection

[foggy needle]

i mean both suck lol

[loud saddle]

but it's such a slow climb you may not notice it at all during....

true, but atleast armor is useful (more so than health atleast)

[foggy needle]

eh not slow tbh as you can max watch in 1 day

[loud saddle]

I'm only speaking of the perspective of a newer player not grinding out the game for watch levels, but ya. I've seen a few speedrun the stuff quite fast.

[dull bane]

For someone like me, quite slow

[foggy needle]

depends on the new player. like those that no life the game can max watch in 1 day, those that dont, well they wont max 1 day

[dull bane]

But I don't really mind the slower pace.

At least I started running everything on challenging, as hard poses little or no challenge anymore.

That reminds me, not done the time trial on space admin hq yet. That's the one where you have to defend the antennas right?

Though that part was far faster than I remembered.

[foggy needle]

thats the one

[dull bane]

When I played the game sometime after release, that was the part I hated.

[nimble spruce]

Crit chance is always a decent first choice

[dull bane]

It wasn't as bad last time I did it though.

It kind of felt like they toned that part down?

[loud saddle]

maybe cause the slight difference between "story mode" and the difficulty mode changes?

[nimble spruce]

Invaded version is where you defend the antennas, normally you just realign them

[loud saddle]

i hated realigning them

[dull bane]

Oh, right. I did the invasion one last time

On hard

[nimble spruce]

but that league speedrun is very generous with the time limit (20m iirc) so it's not an issue either way

[loud saddle]

the attack mid re-align each dish. ugh....I would always try to just stand there and suck it up til it was done realigning regardless if they were getting close

[dull bane]

Timed objectives on time trials kind of stink 😛

You can't make them go any faster.

[loud saddle]

lol, keener's "sit here and wait" lol

[modern hearth]

especially funny with something like Kajika too

where you have to find his kelso sketches up in his lair

[loud saddle]

first time I did the league for that mission I failed cause that darn audio delay

[nimble spruce]

Darpa and Zoo are always fun, tough time limits then an enforced wait at the end just to let people get extra frustrated

[dull bane]

Had a sucky run in grand washington hotel I think, where this one guy turtled on the second floor of some place, everything was on cooldown and he wouldn't even stick his head out.

And there was no way to get up there

No, not grand washington hotel, one of the other time trials I think

[nimble spruce]

GWH has that door at the end with boss health too

[dull bane]

Ugh, that door..

takes forever to bring down (at least it feels like it when you got a timer)

[loud saddle]

i still hate Tombs time trial more than anything I think....

[dull bane]

These are my first set of time trials.

[loud saddle]

like if i had to choose one mission I hate for time trials, it'd be Tombs

[dull bane]

First season and all too.

[foggy needle]

you know what... can you one shot that door with dodge city holster 🤔

[dull bane]

So my shd level is basically my season level atm 😛

[modern hearth]

remember that fancy darpa heroic all the way back?

[loud saddle]

it's fine up until the end battle, I just hate the final battle cause I've had him duck down and just turtle in his tower before and my butt was trying to lob grenades and skills and shit at him....cause it wouldn't advance

[nimble spruce]

doubt it, health pool is too big. Maybe with HH stacks and an achilles pulse?

[nimble spruce]

I think that was the first league I ever did - and I never got close to completing heroic darpa in the time limit. Remember watching some youtuber with crazy good aim just scraping it, and he admitted it took a number of attempts before he got favourable spawns.

[modern hearth]

if I recall right it was probably the first league ever

or second? ah well

but yeah it was really tough, but fun in a way

[nimble spruce]

it was definitely one where only the best players could get 10/10, these days most of them are so easy almost everyone can

[fathom spruce]

not sure, I don't see speedruns use that they just all minigun it down so not sure if you can, feels like otherwise they'd do that
I was curious too, had a look

[nimble spruce]

(with the occasional exception)

[loud saddle]

yeah, most timers now are very generous....

[modern hearth]

not that I mind, but it would be nice if they'd sneak it one hard option just for the sake of it

[loud saddle]

hell last time I did Kajika I had like 4 minutes extra....and I suck at the game. XD

[foggy needle]

they should do time trial leagues for the legendary missions 😈

[modern hearth]

since with just 3 agreeable missions you can max it out

[fathom spruce]

You probably can't ND mark the door, otherwise you could just oneshot it that way with an add (surely one of them has like a nice helmet or weakpoint or something) with 60% chance

[loud saddle]

make it where you really only need to reach 7 stars but on all 4 missions to get the 30 needed for the week, but also set the 10/10 time to be a nice challenge....

[modern hearth]

yeah that would work

[loud saddle]

so atleast then if you got the 10/10 it's like "hey, I did that, sweeeet"

[next sail]

Why ?

I haven't done it btw that is why i am asking
I always hear people complaining about that mission

[loud saddle]

"it's fine up until the end battle, I just hate the final battle cause I've had him duck down and just turtle in his tower before and my butt was trying to lob grenades and skills and shit at him....cause it wouldn't advance"

[next sail]

Ah i see , could run demo and that should make quick work of it

[loud saddle]

it's not a hard mission, I just have bad luck and he's tried turtling once or twice....lol. "stand up and take die like a man!"

yeah, demo would help there, I always run techie for the free laser/spotter so it's a "ME" problem. haha

[dull bane]

Well, 22 minutes on solo space admin hq on challenging, did better than I thought I would.

[loud saddle]

\o/

[dull bane]

Just need another 8 medals (I don't care about the trophy)

I'll have to do a lot more headshots. Can get 2 more medals from jefferson and 2 from gwh. Only at 1/10 on true sons headshots though.

[nimble spruce]

I usually just do the speedrun challenges and ignore the others, too much like work

[dull bane]

The disruption one was quick, I did that one running emp pulse when I was doing the invasion missions.

[nimble spruce]

if you do the speedruns both weeks you'll still likely unlock all the rewards, the only thing doing extra challenges gets you is more XP (and a sense of achievement)

[dull bane]

Oh, there'll be a new set of objectives?

[nimble spruce]

the same objectives but you get to do them a second time in the second week

[dull bane]

Ah, cool.

[nimble spruce]

so you can earn 120 levels total but you only need 60

[dull bane]

Wasn't sure how that'd work.

[foggy needle]

just need 30 points each week, so max the 3 missions each week and you got it.

[dull bane]

Well, I'll likely nab a few more points on true sons headshots anyway by normal play.

Especially since american history museum has hana-u and east mall has empress, hoping for some better rolls since those are the two sets I'm using atm (plus a wyvern holster)

[mellow trout]

That's if you even get there before a couple of rogues show up and softlock your mission lmao

[dull bane]

lol, had an enemy spawn inside a supply room right in front of my eyes (was just getting the chest after taking the control point)

Not sure who was more suprised. Me or him? Well, at least he ain't suprised no more.. or anything else for that matter.

Is sanctum sanctorum any good? Not used marksman rifles much but I was pondering if it'd help me get the true sons headshots faster 😛

Gonna try it out either way

[mellow trout]

The consensus is no it's not

Way too niche it seems

[nimble spruce]

sacrum imperium? No, not really. Try Mantis if you want a useful sniper (especially for solo)

[dull bane]

imperium, yeah, my bad.

I think my wh40k brain kicked in or something.

[foggy needle]

sanctum doesnt even have a niche, its just bad lol

[dull bane]

or is it marvel.. hrm

It's marvel.

[mellow trout]

Yikes

Doctor home and now this lmao

[dull bane]

haha

I wouldn't want to live in a world where games never had pop cultural references or easter eggs.

[maiden mantle]

So if I’m gonna dip my toes into countdown to farm is there anything I should know before going in? I heard that everything is super tanky, but loot drops like crazy in there on top of being able to target farm what you want.

[loud saddle]

be smart and in certain situations don't use skills that can be hacked by enemies, your team will hate you

[maiden mantle]

Enemies can hack your skills In countdown?

[quasi niche]

Yeh dont use drone, turret etc ... just go shield + foam/revive hive

[maiden mantle]

Noted. My current setup is Hunter’s Fury that I’m trying to improve.

[quasi niche]

And in general... first activate the buffs that are shown as the 3 symbols on the map , while doing so kill the 4 hunters, then the objectives (if possible not Vip as it takes longer) , and for extraction dont call the chopper before the last 10secs ... use the time for farming mobs

[old rose]

question is DZ/named or conflict cache the only source for dark winter i had one on another account but lost access

[maiden mantle]

I’ve never encountered hunters before. If you kill them can you get their mask? And I’ll be sure to try and help with getting those buffs activated first and foremost.

[quasi niche]

Yes

[old rose]

don't suppose anyones got the drop rates ?

[quasi niche]

There are always 4 hunters at the beginning... 3 at every objective and one somewhere near the middle objective, and no they dont drop masks...masks you get from the open world hunters where you have to do some stugf like activate certain things and so on (there are videos on youtube how to get all masks)

[maiden mantle]

I see. Thank you.

[old rose]

is countdown the go to for scorpio farming ?

[foggy needle]

countdown and summit are the best goto for all loot farming

[old rose]

thanks kinda wish they'd add dark winter to the pool for those a man can dream

[foggy needle]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[dull bane]

Meh, doesn't seem like I can resize/move the big notification popups.

[summer dragon]

Where can i get the ninjabike bag?

[dull bane]

Level 90 on the season pass

[summer dragon]

ooo thanks

is it possible to get it any other way before that or nay

[fathom spruce]

I think only way would be if someone in your group gets it dropped and shares it with you, so if you see someone drop one you can ask them nicely for it

[dull bane]

So once you get it from the season pass it can drop?

[foggy needle]

no Ninja Bag is not in target loot after getting it from season track. It WILL be in exotic caches though. (so someone could get it from a cache and share it with you that way though).

[dull bane]

ah

[fathom spruce]

wait you mean it can't randomly drop in world? since I sometimes saw one here and there

but then that could've been coincidentally people finishing weekly projects and whatnot and opening an exotic cache or something in downtime somewhere, as I don't see it super often

that explains a lot then, I think I should've seen it more frequently if it actually also dropped

[foggy needle]

yea Ninja bag is one of those few exotics that are not put in target loot QQ. Carthas, Sacrum Imperium are also not in target loot either (even once you get them) i think there is 1 or 2 more too.

all listed on the spreadsheet 😛 i did a exotic drop update on the sheet about 2-3 weeks ago

[old rose]

wonder if we're ever going to get repeat seasons like the first 4 again

[narrow matrix]

I got a ninja bag as a random drop from a true sons… what’s that about

Few weeks back

Lincoln memorial I think I was farming either china or umbra

[summer dragon]

Thank you for clarification

[foggy needle]

you won the lotto lol, it is SITLL in the normal global drop, just not in target loot

[dull bane]

Oh, I thought you meant the normal global drop

[narrow matrix]

Who comes up with this stuff 🥲

[foggy needle]

lol ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[narrow matrix]

It’s like opening your wallet to find a $1

[steady terrace]

Kid named stuff

[old rose]

is what area gets X target loot random or is there a schedule hoping for DZ smg i want that dark winter

[fathom spruce]

ooooo yea okay so that's why I think I remember seeing it dropped in world but then that explains why it's so rare
I thought it'd be tied into one thing, it's either available as a generic world drop (whether targetted or not), or not at all 🤣
Wth is this system

[dull bane]

Just reached lvl 90 in the season pass so I just got it

[old rose]

you can really get to 100 fast with 5 modifiers and on max difficulty its insane

[dull bane]

I mean I could replace my force multiplier with it but then I'd lose the skill dmg buff

[summer dragon]

Does saving a gear loadout also save the mods?
Was wondering if i could save the same piece of gear in a loadout albeit with different mods

[zealous ether]

yes

[foggy needle]

TLDR: exotic drop tables

normal global (0.018% chance)
faction
target loot
mission boss
Raid boss
DZ drop
Exotic caches

The drop tables off the top of my head, I think I got them all

@narrow matrix ^ so you had that 0.018% drop chance proc for that ninja bag 🤣

[old rose]

oh wondered are all named dz weapon buys 152 dz resources?

[dull bane]

Nah, not worth replacing force multiplier.

[junior venture]

Wil they every make a ps5 version of td2

[summer dragon]

If i want a double barrel shotgun sidearm, do i target loot shotguns?

[wispy merlin]

yes

[sudden snow]

DARPA is bugged?

[fallow inlet]

Hey Azurmen32

@sudden snow known issue have someone help

[golden crown]

do i need to play/make multiple character in this game ?

[daring nebula]

anyone have the issue where when you launch the game your screen tints grey?

[stone mountain]

It's 4k@60fps on ps5/xbsx and looks stunning.

[versed pumice]

Useful for endgame

[vapid folio]

Can someone please tell me what this icon means on a piece of gear

[hallow raptor]

Means it’s part of a saved loadout…..

[vapid folio]

Ah thanks!

[turbid igloo]

? Why exactly

[hallow raptor]

Mules to carry additional gear when your stash is full. Alts get the same shd level as your main if you complete wony, then they get watch points every time your main levels up. 4 characters @ level 40 = 4 watch points per level. Weekly exotic projects, 4 characters = 4 of each project, etc….

[turbid igloo]

Dam so it's a level and exotic cache farm 💀

[hallow raptor]

Exotic caches from weekly projects yes…. And if your over shd 1000, 4 scavenging points per level.

[hallow raptor]

Plus multiple characters to run raids, get keys / materials for each character, and more initial chances at the crate at the end….

[turbid igloo]

Automatic resources, exotic caches and level Farm 100% legit (no hacks)

[untold mauve]

How many printer filament will I need to go from expertise 14 to 22

[brave sparrow]

Is there a fire rate button I couldn’t find one?

[narrow matrix]

No variable fire rate no … only on bighorn

[brave sparrow]

That’s so lame:/ I just started and this Ak recoil is horrendous

[narrow matrix]

Yea u need stability mods for it

Ditch it for something else

[brave sparrow]

It’s fine tbh, this is the fire time I’ve played either division game since division 2 is on sale I bought the ultimate version so I got the ruthless ak

[kind cove]

Yea its bad

[narrow matrix]

Oh that ak isn’t even worth using

If you want to fix it up a bit run booster hive (from quartermaster)

[brave sparrow]

I have no problem with it I’ll probably get rid of it once I get better gear

[summer dragon]

If a friend who has access to classified assignment starts one up, if i join their group, can i do said assignment / get the rewards?

[hallow raptor]

Don’t think so….

[pine orchid]

this is the obligatory new player question, I just bought the ultimate edition of the game, will there be more content ex: missions, quests, weapons I have to pay for ? Or is it just the season reward pass

[hallow raptor]

You get the main season rewards track (top), season pass $$ gives you the additional rewards track (bottom). You get all the current content, plus the future seasons which are said to include new content “the decent” game mode / mission and new gear sets and exotics I believe….

[pine orchid]

Okie dokie!! But the new content isn't behind a paywall yeah? Just the additional rewards track?

[hallow raptor]

The future “seasons” and “top” row season rewards will be available at no charge, including the decent. You only pay for the season pass (at anytime during that season) which gives the (lower) row season rewards that are mainly skins and some masks, cosmetic crap. You get all new future gear and game modes. Haven’t heard of any new pay dlc content so…. Hope that helps

[dull pasture]

is the only place to get the Virginian from DZ?

[pine orchid]

Yup helps a lot!! Tysm

[mossy matrix]

dmg to armor or out of cover?

[prisma violet]

out of cover all the way

[golden crown]

Just return manage to put together some basic hunter fury build. is the summit level 10 farm still a go to place for farming thing ?

[cedar carbon]

So, I didn’t get to WT5 but I did get level 40, do I still need to get to WT5 before I start getting exotics and other good loot?

[cedar yacht]

no

[fresh junco]

No, they patched that exploit awhile back.

[golden crown]

oh

[inner tendon]

Mass farming gear is a lot faster on Countdown these days, than since the Floor 10 patch.
~40 pieces of loot per run, on average across 10 runs.

[hallow raptor]

For xp no, that was patched, for gear (heroic/ legendary) yes…

[crude quiver]

What's up with target Auntie for the Manhunt? Supposedly Roosevelt Island, but Juptier comes up not Auntie?

[mellow trout]

It's a bounty

[crude quiver]

oops my bad, was looking for bounty in wrong area... thanks friend

[old rose]

does anyone have a complete list of all 40 side mission i've done 39 and i can't for the life of me find the 40th i've done all the hidden side ones too

[mellow trout]

You could probably find it on the internet somewhere

[old rose]

thanks

what would everyone say is the best pvp AR aside from EB? (i don't have it yet)

[bronze viper]

Hey. Anyone Russian to translate something for me please?

[dim crag]

FAMAS

[old rose]

was just about to ask if famas was good still lol

[mellow trout]

Can't go wrong with one

[old rose]

better than pulse kingbreaker for pvp?

[mellow trout]

Sometimes people will be fully immune to pulse

[old rose]

ahh

[mellow trout]

Unless there's a cap idk about

But yeah people love their pulse resistance builds in pvp

[old rose]

i'm just trying to get my 152 dz resources to buy dark winter when it comes in the vendor shop but keep getting 1 bursted by idk what

[mellow trout]

If you want a dark winter you might have luck farming countdown for one

[old rose]

its a dz exclusive

and can also drop in conflict and named caches

[mellow trout]

I have like 3 and I never play dz

Ah I see

[old rose]

but could do countdown to get the req then buy the caches

if it doesn't crash then farm global event too

[mellow trout]

I still haven't gotten the gift yet lol

[old rose]

gift?

also wondering is there any benefit to clans?

[lavish drift]

How are you meant to access this weapon crate in the tidal basin? You cannot get to it from the other direction

[mellow trout]

Perfect vigilance backpack

[mellow trout]

I imagine there's some ledge you jump off or a power box to open a door

Either way not worth the effort lol

[old rose]

extra crit damage mag for famas or more rounds?

[prisma basalt]

Crit damage

[mellow trout]

I'd say more rounds tbh more dps

[lavish drift]

Yep, now it's really impossible as a checkpoint door has closed 😛

[mellow trout]

Question: can regulus one shot chungas or does it just break armor

[fathom spruce]

You basically always want biggest mag size for DPS builds, far better than any other mags
So for things like ARs, always +20 mag size

[fathom spruce]

You get access to the clan vendor, which is another weekly rotating vendor that sometimes can have very good stuff that you might not easily get otherwise, but it’s fully RNG

Also, clan gives you weekly caches on Thursday reset that you can pick up in the clan room too, that gives a bunch of loot (random loot but from my experience super high rolled, like CD heroic - Legendary)

So it’s worth to even just join a random public open invite one for those

[rugged stratus]

No. Maybe upgrade video drivers

[fathom spruce]

Has nothing to do with GPU driver here, just game trying to force HDR on by default if it detects that it’s possible and most recent monitors “support” it but at super low quality versions (only HDR400 usually) which looks far worse than it being off

Pretty much happens to anyone who got a semi-decent, higher Hz screen over past years, but didn’t specifically go out of their way to pay much more for one with super good HDR (which are more niche)

[old rose]

anyone know how many bp's come from lvl 3 cp's ?

[fathom spruce]

Majority of blueprints come from CP3/4s, some that don't state their source (like side mission or legacy season) at the bench

You also get one you don't have yet every time so over time you're guaranteed to get all the ones it gives

[old rose]

ahh so no duplicates nice to know

still got a couple of hundred farms of navy plaza to go then kekw

[fathom spruce]

Yeah that makes it convenient to just do those any time until you stop getting BPs then you know you got them all that you can get there

[tulip fiber]

It should be behind a gate. Shoot the yellow box that’s on the generator, like the ones that operate the laser turrets, and the gate should open.

[torn tangle]

Quickest way to farm FI set and legendary gloves, summit or Countdown spam ?

[mellow trout]

Countdown for sure

If it's not busy being broken

[old rose]

or people constantly leaving

[dull bane]

I'm confused, the campus settlement still shows at 3/4, even though I've done everything.

Or is that just a display bug? at the settlement progress npc everything is completed and inside the campus it shows as 4, even if it doesn't when I mouse over the campus on the map

[old rose]

bug

[dull bane]

Ah, good. Stilla few sidequests I haven't done yet somewhere.

Still got 35/40

Well, 37/40 now, apparently the dz recons count too.

[old rose]

can the apartment drop from targeted loot?

[next sail]

No dz and named caches

[old rose]

ofc its one of those

[dull bane]

Hrm, one side mission to go, not sure what I'm missing. Found a list of the hidden ones so I did the ones I missed there.

[old rose]

same here all the others are marked

like maybe the drone lady i read on reddit she's bugged due to this season

[dull bane]

The drone lady? You mean the wony one?

Main missions is at 32/33 too, dunno what I'm missing there as I did all the vanilla and wony ones.

[hallow raptor]

DARPA?

[dull bane]

No, that's done

Not a big deal, just bugs me 😛

[next sail]

These ones were well hidden ( atleast for me , found them while locating cassie )
I am guessing you did them from the list
But anyway it was garage stash , greenhouse community , missing curators

[dull bane]

I'm running without radar so I dunno if I've somehow ran past some.

Almost forgot it was even possible to see threat on the radar, lol. Been running without it for some time now.

It doesn't show audiologs either

[robust yarrow]

I was having an issue with TD2 where it would start at around 10 GB ram usage and climb upto 13 GB and then crash around 14 GB

[next sail]

Yup i hate that
Really wish it would atleast show collectibles lol

[robust yarrow]

Hence I'm upgrading my gaming laptop to 32 GB ram from 16 GB

[robust yarrow]

Any idea why this could be happening ?

My laptop has

• i7-10870H 8c/16t processor
• RTX 2060 100 watt 6 GB
• 16 GB ram (upgrading to 32 GB soon)
