[mellow trout]

I'm deeply disturbed that the lullaby will forever leave a massive gap on my exotic wall

[rugged stratus]

Field recon and blueprint

[thorn hedge]

And ruthless

[mellow trout]

I have ruthless but not lullaby for some reason

[thorn hedge]

How lol

[mellow trout]

I bought the ultimate edition idk

Might be some separate dlc

At least my wall in haven is stacked

[thorn hedge]

You don't have the conversion blueprint?

[mellow trout]

Not for lullaby no

It's weird

[rugged stratus]

Sweet dreams and done. Dont look at the wall

[thorn hedge]

Lol

Wait did they ever fix that bug with the manhunt mission

[dense spoke]

I heard framing level 10 is great for SDH levels?

[mellow trout]

Never went back to test it that mission is literal torture

[thorn hedge]

was

[mellow trout]

Not anymore lol

[foggy needle]

its amazing for loot farming but trash for XP (since its nerf)

[dense spoke]

Oh

What would the meta be rn for getting SDH levels?

[nimble spruce]

Convoys in open world with as many directives as possible

[fallow inlet]

Hey Azurmen32

[past spoke]

How can you tell what buff the coyote mask is giving you

[fallow inlet]

look for the mask

in your buffs

[nimble spruce]

On your buff bar the section of the shape that is 'filled in' (solid white) changes depending on which of the buffs is active

[arctic tusk]

so how does Bluescreen work? I know you shoot stuff, and you get stacks, and when you use a skill, it procs the stacks, but what happens if you kill someone with stacks? i know it says something about killing something at 50 stacks but what if you kill before that?

[kind cove]

The new exotic lvoa coming in the new season automatically has 20% chc right?

[paper radish]

Is the manhunt thing still good for farming exotics?

[old rose]

m4 not lvoa if i'm reading this right unless your talking about something other than st elmo's

[kind cove]

St elmos has the stats of an m4 but is physically an lvoa-c

[pseudo tapir]

Another know a fix for the Delta-03 error. It's been constant since the new season dropped for me.

[rain owl]

for me too. I cant play 5 minutes at all before i got large lags and then discconects with delta 03 error.

[pseudo tapir]

Last season wasn’t has bad, but this seasons it’s a constant. Can’t even complete a control point without getting disconnected.

[fiery locust]

What superior items should I keep? I'm chasing exotics on countdown and my inventory keeps getting full.

Any sets that I should keep or can I scrap them all?
I filled most of my library with talents.

[thorn hedge]

superior items are ppurple. how are you even getting those? they are locked to normal and hard difficulty

[worthy patrol]

anyone know current best method to get the dark winter? im currently just grinding levels for named caches from global event and battlepass. is spamming manhunt bounties better? anyone know??

[marble halo]

is it possible to increase both of the core attributes? or i need to roll another one?

[worthy patrol]

way to dig it in

[nimble spruce]

you can optimise any number of attributes but you can only recalibrate one of them

[marble halo]

https://tenor.com/view/what-the-hell-is-even-gif-20535402

[marble halo]

until i max them?

[nimble spruce]

yes

[dense spoke]

Change headshot damage for out of cover DMG

And it's perfect

Idk about the talent tho

[kind cove]

How much damage is recommended for legendary missions and is it best to have a couple blue’s instead of all red for legendary?

[cedar yacht]

Kinda depends on the build

[kind cove]

Coyote, cheska, strikers

I plan to use the new exotic lvoa when the season drops

[cedar yacht]

I'd leave it full red imo but its upto you

[kind cove]

Okie then I’m good rn

Im rn just using pyro/eb while I wait for the exotic and it seems to work well with both

Im assuming the added chd and chc from the exotic will boost the stats in between both in terms of damage

[weary spear]

I've been trying to farm for the BTSU datagloves from camp white oak and i kill the boss at the end and die to get him to respawn but he just never drops anything after the first time killing him. am i just unlucky or was that changed?

[past spoke]

Are high end red builds good for breaking into heroic

[tiny stump]

the amount of damage you can achieve because of the 20% chc and 20% chd on the gun is major

[willow girder]

how to get the lvoa

[kind cove]

As long as I can hit 500 I think I’ll be fine

[cedar yacht]

if you're talking about the exotic then its next season

[inner tendon]

base LVOA-c is not locked to any specific activity.
So same as 90% of div2: Targeted Loot: Rifles, Challenging.
then either Countdown or Directives stacked up.

[kind cove]

What chest you using

[inner tendon]

I had forgotten Elmo's was going to be a rifle.
That is an odd choice.

[kind cove]

Cheska or the one with crit dam as the 1 piece

[tiny stump]

ceska obliterate

[willow girder]

is it out right now?

[tiny stump]

na this is pts footage

[willow girder]

i mean exotic

[kind cove]

What mask? Would you not recommend coyote?

[tiny stump]

coyote

[kind cove]

Okie good I should be good then

[tiny stump]

yup yup

[kind cove]

I think I have 50 or so crit chance with eb rn so I can probably change out a piece for more crit damage

[tiny stump]

yeah your crit damage is gonna be able to be nice and high

[kind cove]

Whats yours at for reference

If you know

[tiny stump]

with that gun and that build i think it was like 160 or 170 ish

compared to the 140ish i run with my famaas or C7

[inner tendon]

Don't get too bogged down into squeezing every last CHD % out of your build, make sure your other stats are up to par too.

[kind cove]

I wont have enough for that prob but I should be able to hit 120 at least

[tiny stump]

yeaah chc comes before chd

[fallow inlet]

Hey theres Rivens👋

[inner tendon]

Hey Saph
not exactly what I meant. CHC is important sure, but knowing how to handle the build in situations matters as much as the build itself.
No "god" build will make up for bad play. You just have to practice and learn. It's a slow process for sure. We all started at 0.

[tiny stump]

oh of course, good point

i like to think i play pretty good most of the time by now

[modest peak]

Is there a reason to keep low level exotics/yellow items? Or can I safely deconstruct them?

[tiny stump]

probably safe to deconstruct if you dont see yourself using it

[inner tendon]

Define "low level" for us here.

[ruby wharf]

yo i played a long time ago during like season 2 oon my xbox and had a cosmetic with eclipse in its name but couldnt find it in the apparel store, i think it was hornets outfit but i cant remember honestly, is there a way to get past season cosmetics in apparel caches or will i not be able to get it again?

[lilac remnant]

with the new st elmos/senate coming out im thinking of a striker status build. itll be striker 4pc with obliterate chets and shock and awe bag. would it be worth to build it? or would it be les effective since itll only be shock as the effect.

or do i keep the striker bag on for the bonus then just use the vile?

[tiny stump]

its not gonna do much status damage

[lilac remnant]

do i just keep my striker build and slap on that weapon for funsies? wouldnt seea downside with it lol

[tiny stump]

im gonna just straight dps it

i dont care about the shock rly

[foggy needle]

Vile damage is meh/ bad without either GC or EP backpack and status effect stacking

[versed pumice]

Well it has some of the best mods so even without the shock ammo it’ll still be a great ar to run

N has good rpm

I think it’ll dethrone the famas

[tiny stump]

for sure, unless they change it

[lilac remnant]

hopefully they dont. think its fine how it is even after the messed up talent they fixed.

[tiny stump]

yeah i hope

[versed pumice]

The shock ammo might be annoying in pvp

[tiny stump]

yeah that'll piss ppl off

[versed pumice]

Pair it with ridgeway 😈

[tiny stump]

oof

[lilac remnant]

just gave me an idea for a striker ridgeways with shock and awe bag

[foggy needle]

i wonder if St Elmo will out dps a famas with strained 🤔

[fiery locust]

Sorry, I meant yellow items

[versed pumice]

I think the modsit has probably beats it ?

Plus better handling than famas

[foggy needle]

yes better handling but less base dps

[versed pumice]

But on all red build would it matter much

[foggy needle]

Famas is base 6% higher dps then Elmo. so yea elmo doesnt out dps famas with strained BUT can come close with its 20 chd mod

[tiny stump]

gonna be a contender for sure

[lilac remnant]

feel like some builds can get up to 60c ch and then 180 crit dmg which would be nuts

[foggy needle]

easily beats Fast hands famas though. its +20 rounds higher then famas is nuts (50 famas vs 70 elmo mag size)

[foggy needle]

pretty much all good dps builds can already do that.

[lilac remnant]

hopefully no matter how many people get salty over it its never nerfed. its a weapon im excited for

[versed pumice]

Same considering we haven’t really had a good exotic since season 4

When scorpio dropped

[foggy needle]

since last season you mean

Carth and Bee

[versed pumice]

Kinda

[foggy needle]

then blue screen season before last

i mean not kinda...
Cart strong in pvp
Bee strong in Pve
Bluescreen strong in pve for a Lmg (still lmg though)

[versed pumice]

Never really used those

I do like carth

[foggy needle]

Bee was strong in pvp, before the nerf too

[cedar yacht]

ah yes bee in skill builds

[versed pumice]

True but regulus exist

[foggy needle]

true but bee exists too (eh for pve

also Bee now just for gun dps builds pve since its nerf and bug fix

[lilac remnant]

how strong was it before? only started playing this season

[versed pumice]

Wasn’t it like 20% in pvp

[foggy needle]

yes was the same as pve so 20% amp per stack

still 20% per stack for pve as only its bug fix was its pve change (worked on skills)

[versed pumice]

N now it’s like 2% in pvp

Huge nerf

[worthy patrol]

sup guys anyone know current best method to get the dark winter? im currently just grinding levels for named caches from global event and battlepass. is spamming manhunt bounties better? anyone know??

[foggy needle]

its a DZ drop so farm DZ target loot or named caches is best way

[worthy patrol]

does dz targeted loot swap everyday ?

[tiny stump]

dark winter can drop from bounty or manhunt targets now apparently

[worthy patrol]

im just tryna figure out which the best way to get it is

[tiny stump]

named cache yea

[foggy needle]

only from manhunt bounty (like normal, they count as DZ bosses)

Manhunt bounty are not really farmable though but can drop dz names

[foggy needle]

yes swaps daily like all target loot

[dull bane]

Resetting the manhunt only resets the Stovepipe mission?

[foggy needle]

no it resets your progress on ALL of the requirements for the manhunt (so each target too)

[worthy patrol]

yea ill probs just end up farming countdowns and dz then

[dull bane]

Ah, well. Guess not reasonably farmable without spending a heap of time.

[foggy needle]

countdown will be only from the name caches fyi

[dull bane]

What about the named caches from the season vendor? (golden bullet)

[worthy patrol]

yea 4sure

[foggy needle]

a named caches is a named cache, doesnt matter from where

[dull bane]

Or dark winter is only from the kill itself and not named caches?

[worthy patrol]

its obtainable from dark zone, named caches, manhunt bounties

[dull bane]

Ah, I see.

[wide juniper]

dn also drops it

[foggy needle]

whats DN?

[wide juniper]

deez nuts

[foggy needle]

🤦‍♂️ ... well played

[wide juniper]

XD

[foggy needle]

https://tenor.com/view/anchorman-not-even-mad-thats-amazing-will-ferrell-gif-12926853

[wide juniper]

never gets old hahaha

ngl tho that smg a pain to get been opening named caches too for a while now

😭

[storm river]

Conflict caches too

[storm river]

tbh it aint even worth it lol

So many better options

[wide juniper]

true its just that i like the vector so much

[storm river]

Yeah thats what most people use it for lol

youd be better off with a regular vector with strained though

[wide juniper]

striker + golden bullet + vector goes brrrrr

yeah probably hahahaha

[storm river]

Easier to farm too 😉

[wide juniper]

i have this one with strained what should i use as attribute?

[storm river]

dtooc always

[wide juniper]

ighttt ty

[storm river]

Highest DPS increase out of all the attributes

[wide juniper]

bett

[foggy needle]

mpx or banshee are both better then vectors anyways 😛

[wide juniper]

vector sound tho

[glacial harbor]

guys im new level 40 player i want to ask how can i get exotics or how to farm them?

[wide juniper]

countdown for exotic caches and summit for drops imo

altho there are some specific places some exotics drop

[glacial harbor]

thank u

[wide juniper]

npp

[foggy needle]

countdown and summit are still better for exo farming then those "specific exotic places"

also there are a few crafted exotics that require doing their project, and some exotics require getting through exotic caches 1st. Check the pinned spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice

[glacial harbor]

ok thanks for the info ☺️

[potent shale]

Hi,
I´m trying to get the Nemesis, I have deconstructed the Adrestia SR-1 and got the first part (the Scope) after that I have run Invaded stronghold in challenging ~6 times and I have not got any other part. Is that normal?

[foggy needle]

yes. invaded strong holds ONLY gives you 1 specific part (guaranteed if you dont already have it). (i think its only on 1st clear)
the blue print is only from invaded hotel,
invaded zoo gives you 1 random part you dont already have.

[potent shale]

Does it mean that because I have completed them already I can't get the drop any more until it gets invaded again?

[hallow raptor]

Your sure it was invaded? District union?

[foggy needle]

pretty sure yes you have to wait for re-invaded. the part you get is part of the mission reward (which you already did)

[potent shale]

Yes, I did district and basin more than onces in Invaded mode with randoms, not sure if I should try solo

[hallow raptor]

But when he did district union the first time he did not have the first part so that would not count. I’ve gotten the first part and re run that weeks invaded stronghold and gotten the next part many times.

[narrow kraken]

Am I supposed to ask in here how crafting works in the game

[foggy needle]

no loss in re-trying it, i can never remember if you can re-run it to get the part, assuming you already cleared the week

[foggy needle]

you can yea. its just simple crafting. you spend resources to craft said item (gives you random stats and talents)

[potent shale]

If is 100% drop then I may not be able to do it again until next invasion, anyway, I have restarted the game and I'm going to try a last run solo and see what happen

[foggy needle]

double check your backpack > resource tab to see if you already have it

also i think hotel is invaded this week, make sure you go get the nemesis blue print.

[narrow kraken]

Can I ask in this chat advice

[foggy needle]

yes you can.

@potent shale https://thedivision.fandom.com/wiki/Nemesis guide on how to get it. hope this helps

[narrow kraken]

Can someone tell me how I can have better armor or stronger weapons

I haven’t played the game for year. And I never understood crafting

[foggy needle]

by farming the gear best place is through target loot farming in summit or countdown.

crafting is just a simple thing in this game, spend resources to get a specific item with random stat and talent rolls (nothing else to it)

[potent shale]

Now i'm not sure if I played them in invade mode or not, I'm confused, maybe I didn't toggle the mission mode, well either way. Going to try again

[narrow kraken]

I have been using this since 2019 lol

[foggy needle]

invaded would be black tusk enemies. @potent shale if you are not fighting BT, then its not invaded

[potent shale]

yep, I suspect after completing the invaded once it goes back to normal and maybe I didnt realised

[foggy needle]

so select mission > goto mission options > toggle to invaded > start mission (can only do invaded if they are invaded this week)

if you are not sure what kind of build you want, you could check out the pinned spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice , lots of build guides there @narrow kraken

[versed pumice]

Interesting build

No synergy

[tiny stump]

to say the least

[narrow kraken]

Thanks

[versed pumice]

?

[tiny stump]

i mean interesting is one way to put it

[versed pumice]

Is that rigger

[rugged stratus]

It's just noob mistakes. Ep

[narrow kraken]

Wdym

[versed pumice]

Ur build

[tiny stump]

why 1 striker piece

[versed pumice]

Lacks synergy

[rugged stratus]

Eclipse needs status to succeed. Striker and tardigrade are out of place

[versed pumice]

N synergy is what makes a build hole

N complete

[rugged stratus]

Eclipse with bag and chest vile mask it you have and wyvern piece. If no vile 2x wyvern piece fixes.
Use fire skills and you'll be amazed

[narrow kraken]

I’m so dumb. Where is this fire skill you’re talking about 🥲

[rugged stratus]

Chem launcher has fire variant. Also fire sticky bomb

Stinger hive can also pair well but fire is bigger boom

[narrow kraken]

Aight. Can you upgrade weapons in the game? I have some exotic weapons. But I can only use one

I always use the mines to explode

[rugged stratus]

Eclipse will spread the status further than original target and you'll have the synergy

If you have scorpio or capacitor either will help build

Test subject named ar as well

[narrow kraken]

And where’s a crafting table in game

[versed pumice]

Kinda

[narrow kraken]

Inside the White House?

[rugged stratus]

Yes and in haven

[versed pumice]

White House or next to the helicopter

[narrow kraken]

I’m ashamed that I’m asking this 🤡 after playing the game since 2019

[versed pumice]

All good

No harm in asking questions

[rugged stratus]

If you're not running with a group or actively in a discord like this it's not all simple . Builds get pretty deep and a lot of people contributed to the knowledge shared here

[narrow kraken]

I never knew this discord existed

[rugged stratus]

Keep it handy and you'll have a whole stack of effective builds. Check the spreadsheet suggested by azur. Its updated fairly regular with new builds

[versed pumice]

It’s a useful one

Very informative

[narrow kraken]

Aight thanks

[potent shale]

Turns out I wasn't doing the stronholds in invaded mode, now I'm getting the Nemesis parts 😅

[versed pumice]

Congrats

[fallow inlet]

@potent shale and defenetly do grand washington hotel for the blueprint

[potent shale]

Thanks, going to do it right now

[modest peak]

Sorry for the late reply. But I'm just leveling right now and have a lvl 18 exotic SMG. Should I store it away for now?

[tiny stump]

what the hell is this shit

[past spoke]

how do we ping mods

[foggy needle]

Tbh strikers + tardigrade isn't out of place, hybrid dps group support (go full red with ceska).

Tardi still strong at 0 blue.

[narrow kraken]

Hunting that Asian lady is not available no more?

I haven’t been online in this game since last year lol

[foggy needle]

You can, have to unlock her mission viva season track (it's fay lau)

[narrow kraken]

I forgot her name lol

Its seems I need to hunt down Stovepipe

I just see on the map the pentco Fairview power plant

How can I turn off the raid lol

[turbid igloo]

How negociator's dilemma works again?

[versed pumice]

@thorny swallow

[thorny swallow]

critically hit enemies to mark them (3 max marks or 5 with chest)
critical hits against marked enemies transfer (60% or 100% with backpack) damage dealt to all other marked targets

[turbid igloo]

Wait so i can mark enemies and then once i kill them it transfers damage meaning it instant damages marked enemies?

[thorny swallow]

you dont need to kill them

shooting a marked enemy simply transfers the damage dealt by a critical hit to all other marked enemies

[turbid igloo]

So it instant damages everyone i marked while shooting one marked enemy?

[thorny swallow]

yep

[rugged stratus]

damage on crits is transfered, for clarification

[turbid igloo]

Sounds good for damage builds

[thorny swallow]

its very strong

[rugged stratus]

one of the best for sure

[turbid igloo]

Should i do it?

Should i run it?

[rugged stratus]

absolutely

[turbid igloo]

Aight

Ima run it

[true siren]

To be honest, you dont really need to ask people. Just take 10 minutes, assemble a barebones version, see if you like it. Adjust from there with help from the spreadsheet.

[narrow kraken]

How many exotic weapons are there in the game

[round hull]

Memento can be targeted even by new players, right?

by that I mean, it's not locked behind blueprint or season, right?

[jolly yacht]

i am having some issue with D2 here is a video

So when i move my mouse slowly, it move but when i move fast the direction where i am looking stop and when i stop moving my mouse, the direction turn to where i am suppose to

[narrow kraken]

That’s weird

[jolly yacht]

i dont know how to explain that better too

hopefully someone can help

ho dam just saw the unofficial troubleshooting

will go there

[narrow kraken]

Have you tried restarting your game

[lilac remnant]

do i need to do ridgeways pride in one sitting or can i take breaks? like fully closing the game out and coming back later

[versed pumice]

Can take breaks

[lilac remnant]

thank the ubilord

[tidal lark]

So I got a game setting question

So yk how u have gear set masks right I turned them off if I didn't have on aperal mask an I forgot how to trun it bk on cause I wanted to wear one for my outfit I'm making

[kind cove]

1. Finish your words
2. In the menu for masks there is a button for options that allows you to have them on or off

[hallow raptor]

Check the spreadsheet

[shy vault]

What’s the max amount of players that you can have in a clan in D2?

[mighty jungle]

@shy vault The max is 50 in a clan members

[shy vault]

Ahh, sick. Alright

[next sail]

No

[round hull]

wdym no

[kind cove]

Just go into countdown challenging and put target loot to backpacks

[next sail]

It is not locked behind anything 👍
Sorry should have made it clear

[fathom ingot]

So I was in WT1, I completed all of the new main missions and after I did the Capitol mission I was thrust into WT4. Was this supposed to happen? What should I be doing now?

[next sail]

Wt4 should be tidal basin 🤔

[fathom ingot]

Yeah I have it available

I haven’t done it yet. I literally jumped from WT1 to WT4.

[next sail]

You can get them done
If not usually after wt4 you jump to wony dlc

Unless you don't have it , you can now farm for builds

[fathom ingot]

Yeah I got the Ultimate edition.

[next sail]

Yea go for it then 👌

[fathom ingot]

So I didn’t miss anything by going from WT1 to WT4? I just want to make sure. I need to read up more on a lot of the stuff though because I still kinda don’t know what I’m doing.

Like the recalibration station and stuff over there, I don’t really get it

[lavish drift]

thats for lv40

[fathom ingot]

So the guns I can craft, when I craft them.. how long do they even stay viable? Like if I crafted the Police M4 Replica.

[lavish drift]

its not worth it to craft guns most of the time

[fathom ingot]

I’m just better off using guns that I keep picking up? That sucks.

[lavish drift]

until you get to shd levels you will just keep getting better gear anyway so there is no point to try minmaxing a build at that stage

[fathom ingot]

Ah gotcha.

[true siren]

yeah nah use the right channel gamer @lilac remnant

[lilac remnant]

i apoligise

[inner tendon]

Didn't see another reply, so just in case you didn't get one: keep it for now, but break it up whenever you feel like it.

[modest peak]

Thank you!

[rocky meadow]

is it worth to reconfigure exotics or optimize them instead

[real cypress]

if u have terrible stat rolls, its better to reroll them

id probably only optimize if its almost close to full

[inner tendon]

I'd honestly just farm another one, assuming it's in the general pool (not Raid/leg/bp locked)
It'll be quicker a lot of the time than farming Opti materials.

[restive rapids]

Why are the same attribute bars' length different? Is it because rounding? like one is 4.5%, the other is 4.0%?

[mellow trout]

Yup rounding id imagine

[rocky meadow]

yea my memento have both weapon dmg and armor at about 80% to max

so i suppose just gonna optimize then

[mellow trout]

If I grind hard enough y’all reckon I can make it to shd 1k by the end of golden bullet

[cedar yacht]

level and are you farming open world as hard as possible with directive?

[mellow trout]

I’ve got 3 directives on heroic

Currently ~shd 330

[cedar yacht]

Yeah

theres 13 days left

so ~50 Levels a day

[mellow trout]

Ah bet

That’s like 2-3 hours ish a day

Not too bad

Not all that much they recharge fairly fast

You’ll want skill damage everywhere

You can run haste mods

[cedar yacht]

skill haste isnt important with turrent/drone so you can run stuff like armor regen, or run crit if you want to do a hybrid.

[real cypress]

like i said before id probably optimize when its 95% to full, otherwise you should either farm for another memento if u have the energy, or just reroll

getting optimization mats is harder than getting a full team to raid without a clan imo

[manic slate]

yes

heartbreker status build is off meta, it works, but ppl rarely use it

rock n roll, fast AR for faster stacking

I mean Vile doesn't effect buy core, but status effect atrribute

4 HB , The courier backpack, Vile, all role to status effect

or oppotunistic back pack

[cedar yacht]

crit

chc then chd yes

Any guns that can use tech laser pointer and acs 12 to stack fast.

its pinned on #td2-build-advice

[merry charm]

Hi, new player here. Just reached world tier two and I'm still pretty lost. I have a storage containing 172 "high end" items that I've saved since I started on Sunday! What do I do with them?

[mellow trout]

Whatever you please

[inner tendon]

If you plan on playing the WONY expansion, then you don't need to worry about farming for loot before you finish that, as basically everything you get will be worthless.

[merry charm]

Oh... I have that expansion, but just reached level 30 yesterday and I'm trying to get to WT5. May I ask if I should just go to NY instead of doing the world tiers?

[inner tendon]

I'd suggest doing the World Tiers, as you can't replay that content on the character if you skip it.

they're quite fast anyway.

[merry charm]

I understand. Hm. Last question and then I'll stop bugging for a little while! Should I just fill my recalibration library and deconstruct the rest of the high ends?

[narrow kraken]

You can fill the library but has no function when doing , or after WONY. Also suggest selling the items so you can buy new stuff in NYC.

[merry charm]

That makes sense! I promised I wouldn't ask more questions. Okay, thank all y'all for your time!

[cerulean cove]

Is it possible to duo the dark hours raid?

[mellow trout]

No

Even 4 Manning is a stretch

[cerulean cove]

ty

[rocky meadow]

does rerolling a memento fill an attribute to its empty slot?

[lavish drift]

No

Thats a gear mod slot

[rocky meadow]

gotcha

[potent shale]

Does it make sense to spend all the event stars in exotic caches or are any of the other things much difficult to find?

[lavish drift]

named caches

[potent shale]

For what reason? Maybe unique items I can't get from normal loot? 🤔

[manic slate]

some of named items are Dark Zone exclusive

[potent shale]

I see, thanks

[potent shale]

Capitol Hill and Roosevelt Island are not invaded this week, am I right?

[lilac remnant]

Do the 3 enemies before the switches in countdown count towards progress as hunters for the ridgeways pride chest piece?

[manic slate]

sadly, no

hunter in Bardon Schaeffer manhunt counts though

you can beat the hunter and reset the mission right after, no need to finish it.

[lilac remnant]

Is that one of the people in the stovepipe manhunt or a side mission somewhere

[manic slate]

no, manhunt mission, I believe you unlocked it after finish the 100 lvl pass

at Coney Island

[lilac remnant]

Gotcha. When I get back on I’ll look for it. Tyty!

And for rogues just go for control points and wait for the group to spawn? Only time I’ve ever seen them

[manic slate]

go to Bank Headquater, clear the first floor, to the second floor right before you open the door, if there is no notification abou rouge agent detected then reset the mission

[lilac remnant]

Oooh ok

[manic slate]

spam until rogue agent appear.

[lilac remnant]

Can do can do thank you

[storm river]

.1% off perfect godroll 😭

[manic slate]

In bank headquaters, right before this door,

[manic slate]

extract it first lol

[lilac remnant]

What message does it say before the rogues appear?

[storm river]

dead DZ idc

i had 2 yaahl pieces and 50 dz resources already

[manic slate]

"Rogue agent detected" I believe, you cant miss it, or just open that door, you see Hyena, reset the mission.

[lilac remnant]

Ah ok Ty.

[storm river]

plus i know how to handle myself against players

[narrow kraken]

Can you swap your special weapon? I have been using the crossbow since 19 but I’m tired of it

[nimble spruce]

Yeah swap your specialisation at the desk in the white house, you can save different specs to different loadouts so you can swap between them in the field

[narrow kraken]

Do I have to upgrade all of them then

[nimble spruce]

You don't have to but it's worth doing, gives you more options on the long run

[narrow kraken]

Ah ok. What other weapon is good? I liked using the crossbow

[nimble spruce]

Tbh most of the value of the specialisations isn't in the weapon itself but the other perks you unlock - technician and gunner are probably the most popular (technician for the free skill tier and the auto-pulse weapon mod, gunner for the ammo regen and armour on kill)

Of the weapons themselves though, demo is good fun, especially during golden bullet

[rugged stratus]

Survivalist good for eclipse. Your team will get extra damage on targets you set on fire

[narrow kraken]

Ah ok. I see players with a SHD over 1000. Mine is just 118. How can I change that

I’m so bad in this game Ngl

[rugged stratus]

Control points, convoys both give good xp. Directives increase xp

Shd level every 700k xp iirc

[narrow kraken]

Thanks I’ll look forward to it

[nimble spruce]

Look at the builds in the spreadsheet pinned in #td2-build-advice, a good build will allow you to play harder difficulties, which means better loot and more xp

[narrow kraken]

I was expecting a spread sheet with photos 🥲

[manic slate]

Heart Breaker gear set for both offensive and defensive, you can farm today at Lincole Memorial

Best place to farm beside coudtdown

[rugged stratus]

Click the links on the builds. They have images and breakdowns

[slim crystal]

Hey guys im trying to play schaeffer manhunt in coney Island but it only shows ballpark and stovepipe manhunt anybody know how can I activate it

[old rose]

you have to toggle mission

[wintry cave]

What is the best mission or something to farm elite true sons? like some mission where there is a checkpoint and also a bunch of true sons where I can kill a few and then die to reset to the checkpoint?

[old rose]

hmm not sure a mission would be best navy plaza checkpoint on challenging then reset always multiple elites there

[umbral brook]

Now this is me probably just being stupid but do you stop getting apparel keys for leveling up after a certain point? Cause I stopped getting them past around lv 6. Bug?

[lavish drift]

you should keep getting them

[wintry cave]

That means I would have to reset my checkpoints and I have all of them captured right now 😭

[umbral brook]

Last ones I got was at lv 15 where it gives you two. And that was after awhile of no keys at all. Happened around lv 6 I think.

[thorny swallow]

lincoln memorial is a popular and efficient true sons mission

[manic slate]

Lincole Memorial, i ran it about >1200 times

[wintry cave]

I ended up just running the capitol hill stronghold starting part a few times and got it done, but I will be sure to try Lincoln Memorial next time, thanks.

[old rose]

anyone know if countdown is more stable today?

[rugged stratus]

Most likely the same

[manic slate]

No, even worse in EU server

[past spoke]

how do people "play" rifles? do you let the aim reset or just max rpm

[manic slate]

Point and click?

Joke aside, max rpm with baker's dozen

Missing ammo go back to mag as long as staying in cover

[next sail]

You can control them pretty easy
Zooming in with the scope really helps out hitting all the shots ( atleast in my experience )

[lilac remnant]

With other people using golden bullets in my group does it count towards my progression?

[rain thorn]

For the Recal library, I know the origin item is destroyed but once an attribute or talent is in the library, can it be used over and over or is it a 1 time use only?

[inner tendon]

Once it's in your library, it stays there.

[rain thorn]

OK thx

[next sail]

What progression ?

[dull bane]

As in, if party members headshot with golden bullet for example, if it counts for other partymembers.

[next sail]

No lol imagine

[dull bane]

Sounds like a pain to do them in a party then 😛

Glad I did them solo

Wonder what todays challenges are. Already did all the others except for 7 bounties.

[golden crown]

how long does the box that contain crafting resource need to restock ?

the small box you can randomly found in openworld/mission

[next sail]

Daily reset just like everything else

[inner tendon]

Which was about 6 hours ago, so time that up to your own zone or just check the Projects ingame.

[golden crown]

thanks!

[tiny veldt]

WAIT, YOU'RE ACTUALLY A PERSON?

[lavish drift]

🤔

[inner tendon]

Of course not.

[next sail]

😆

[tiny veldt]

im confused

[next sail]

Its an automated response

[fiery locust]

What defense mods are safe to disassemble? Keeping 3 of each is taking a lot of space

[inner tendon]

Anything that's below 80% perfect can be junked fairly safely.

[foggy needle]

You can safety delete these Blue mods (or better yet, store them on an extra characters backpack for extra space, just in case, assuming they are near perfect at least.)

Armor on kill, incoming repairs, blind and deaf, and bleed mods.

[lilac remnant]

anyone know where to kill two hunters? manhunt on coney isnt there for bardon.

[foggy needle]

summit floor 100

[lilac remnant]

i dont want to go back infor 4 hours

[thorn hedge]

Those are the only ways other than the one-time-spawn ones

[lilac remnant]

might need to do those

[inner tendon]

You can ask for a Floor 100 Checkpoint for Summit, plenty of people still do those.

[kind cove]

Look up a guide on the dc hunters

One of the hunter spawns always spawns as a pair so you can easily do them

[thorn hedge]

Christmas twee

[inner tendon]

There's a set of 4 in NYC, if you feel like losing a few times first.

[thorn hedge]

Rivens suggesting the worst spawn rather than the easiest one

[inner tendon]

It's not the worst spawn.
Worst is lion eyes when the 3rd statue fails to work.

4 times in a row.

[thorn hedge]

Never had that happen ever

Did it 4 or 5 times

[kind cove]

In dc the 4 pair hunters

[inner tendon]

It's the only Hunter I've never re-run multiple times.
that and Ghost, bad early memories.

[thorn hedge]

Christmas twee

[kind cove]

Hunters are actually hella easy if you join a player starting a new character

[thorn hedge]

Believe it or not fighting a low level enemy with a high level character is easy

[kind cove]

Impossible

[old rose]

stars or countdown for exotic cache farm?

[lilac remnant]

what time is the normal "night" time for hunters to spawn

[wintry spear]

21:00-5:00

[lilac remnant]

tyty

[turbid igloo]

Anybody knows how to complete stage four "ability fan" quest for firewall? I've tried everything that kills and yet nothing

It bugged or some shit

[foggy needle]

what do you have to do for it agian?

[turbid igloo]

When i was doing the stovepipe hunt it got to 4 kills and then stopped

[turbid igloo]

Ability kills

Skill kills, tried everything and nothing until now

It only got up for the white house BT drone

Then stopped

[foggy needle]

you mean stage 4 "kill named enemies with skills" ?

[turbid igloo]

Nah

[foggy needle]

make sure you do it on at least hard mode (lots of them require hard or higher, sometimes its hidden) also the skill has to get the killing blow.

[turbid igloo]

It actually Just skill kills

[foggy needle]

can you post a screen shot of it

[turbid igloo]

It's on portuguese tho

Lemme get it

[foggy needle]

AH could be translation error, it should be kill named elites with skills

[foggy needle]

yea it should be "named enemies" go kill a boss with skills (Lincoln mission is fast and has a few)

[turbid igloo]

Show the actual image

In emglish

English*

[foggy needle]

im not in game sorry, had to google it

but in English shows "named enemies"

[turbid igloo]

I killed Wade from the internet mission

And nothing

[fallow inlet]

Hey Rivens

[turbid igloo]

Apparently the quest is bugged

I killed Wade with turret and it didn't progress

Great i'm stuck on stage 4

[errant sorrel]

Have you see this before?

Because i never see the chameleon hoodie, gecko boots

[carmine flicker]

Can confirm what Azur said, you need to kill named enemies with skills. It doesn’t say to do it on hard or something like that, so I would try running something with a named enemy again and not even damage the named enemy with your weapon. Then we can know for certain if it’s bugged or not

If it is bugged then the issue can be reported to ubi

[old rose]

scorpio is in targeted loot isn't it?

[carmine flicker]

Yeah it’s in the general loot pool

If you’re not getting it then either you have a bad farming method or just bad rng

[old rose]

CD when it doesn't crash on me

[carmine flicker]

Well then yeah just bad rng

[old rose]

caches aren't doing me any favors either still haven't got my catharsis

[carmine flicker]

To me it sounds like the necessary tactics apparel event

Didn’t get anything from it though so I’m not 100% sure

[errant sorrel]

@carmine flicker what that means?

[carmine flicker]

It ran a few weeks ago so it’s not available anymore. Apparel events give you exactly what it says, apparel, and are open for a few weeks in a season. You get keys to open the apparel event caches by leveling up

[turbid igloo]

Where can i report bugs tho

[round hull]

is it me or is there simply no Ceska targeted loot on the map?

[cedar schooner]

it happens sometimes

and that's what I'm seeing as well, summit or Countdown

[round hull]

ye just wanted to make sure

[old rose]

seems like its been a bit for smg for dz too

[storm river]

Ye all brands/gear options dont fit

[dull bane]

Feels like the game will be a little less fun when golden bullet ends. Loving the event!

Granted, I get myself killed more because I take a lot more risks when having the buff 😛

[stoic bear]

When are they nurfing convoys

[dull bane]

Next season apparently?

[stoic bear]

They really know how to kill the fun in the game, nurfing all xp gain… dumb ass devs

[clever ocean]

they're buffing a few as well

[pearl grove]

Did I stumble in an untested area?

[turbid igloo]

"yo bro come look at this" the thing the mf discovered:

[round hull]

did bro just speedhack to the border?

[turbid igloo]

I think that's what the rest of the map that is not the dz looks like

The borderlines

[round hull]

plenty of space for new stuff 🤔

[turbid igloo]

Yeah they could release New map parts along the descent and year 5

[pearl grove]

No I was loading into summit with a friend and instead of the lobby I got there

[turbid igloo]

Would do great for the borderlines of the map end

Like an animation of your character breaching the containment or the barrier

[pearl grove]

Devs take notes fr

[turbid igloo]

It would have a filter meter like the div1

Since it would be all infected

Just like div 1 once it gets empty it will damage the player with the time

[turbid igloo]

They should fill that with a city

[dull bane]

Reminds me of an area in the first game you could glitch into. With ships and a lot of unfinished assets.

I think that area got added in as a playable area later?

[unkempt mica]

just completed the manhunt, apparently I still have one more audio to find, is this a bug?

[wispy merlin]

complete it a second time

just the final mission

[unkempt mica]

alright thanks

[turbid igloo]

Yeah it's bugged

Found a video where the guy shoots along the drone

And it worked

Here's the vídeo: https://youtu.be/gvksHh-50Ks

1:11 where he shoots

1:11 or 1:10

The Quest should be working until today

But it seems it bugged

[carmine flicker]

Well yeah best thing I can do is tell you to report it to ubi through the link pinned in #unofficial-troubleshooting

[turbid igloo]

I have like

No vídeo proof

[carmine flicker]

Then get video proof. Maybe show that you have you have some progress in the thing then go kill a named enemy using a skill. After that show how no more progress had been made

[turbid igloo]

Aight, ima release it on youtube because Playstation doesn't let you download the video to phone

[carmine flicker]

And just in case try running it on hard or above if you haven’t been already

Might not state that you have to even when you do have to

[turbid igloo]

I was doing the Wade boss fight in challenging

[novel egret]

quick question, ive maxed out my Sharpshooter 93R, How do I equip it?

[wispy merlin]

equip the sharpshooter specialization

[novel egret]

its equipped

[wispy merlin]

yes i saw your reply, if you did then i have no idea

[novel egret]

ive got the sniper

not a pistol

[nimble spruce]

are you lvl 40 yet? If not, respec it and only invest 4 points instead of 5 (or whatever it is)

[novel egret]

right gotcha

[nimble spruce]

and then realise it's not very useful and just run a normal pistol like everyone else 🙂

[novel egret]

lmao alr

[north gale]

i need urgent help. ive been stuck on the first mission of the campus (killing roach) for 40 minutes. i run out of ammo before roach is even armourless

i need help

[modern iron]

might be stupid but anyone here know the entrance for this (in federal triangle)?

[narrow matrix]

I think it’s the bottom (constitution ave)

As there’s a gap between the floor and the wall it appears

[modern iron]

I don't see it

[nimble spruce]

make sure your weapon is not too many levels behind you - buy or craft a new one if neceessary. You can also call for backup ingame or post in #lfg-pc

oh, and heavies have separate armor plates on different areas so pick one (such as his torso) and just shoot that. You can also switch between different weapons to use different ammo pools - your pistol has infinite ammo

[narrow matrix]

Lmg is good because of big mag too

[deep lagoon]

How complety weekly project, Neutralize Named x?
Doing Control point and nothing so far

[lilac remnant]

why is it when im doing al the control points i get at least 5 a run. but now when i need to kill them i get nothing

[hallow raptor]

Make sure the control point is the correct faction? And for named, control points need to be heroic. Try bounties for named enemies

[wide juniper]

would you guys say countdown is better for targeted loot farming than summit boss floor farming?

[tough marsh]

There are two entrances to that building, one on the east end and one on the west end. It's also a location for a side mission so it may be locked until you complete that mission.

[hallow raptor]

Yes, lots more loot, including named items, plus countdown currency for countdown vendor.

[wide juniper]

ightt thx

[turbid igloo]

Does the firewall spec Hp on kill skill tree affects armour

[wispy merlin]

no

[turbid igloo]

Oh so only the Orange bar? (Health not armour)

[wispy merlin]

yes

[novel egret]

So I did the level 30 skip thing, have I missed the mainline story?

[lavish drift]

yes

but, you can make a new character to play through the story if you want

[novel egret]

Shitttt

So where does the Level 30 skip leave me in the timeline type deal?

[rocky meadow]

Question bout exotic caches: do i save them up or do i open as i get them. Im wondering if saving up a bunch and open at a single instance would give me less chance of getting repeated items.

[hallow raptor]

Yes, I prefer to buy / save 20 and open at the same time for less repeats in my experience, shd 11k+

[fallow inlet]

Hey Buddha

@novel egret you missed all the main story line. Route for main storyline: 1-30 (Capital),wt1-wt5 (tidal basin), camp white oak, Pentagon and darpa, coney Island both, then wony (shd watch),and finally onto endgame

[trim plover]

hi, new player here, just curious to know if I can acquire past seasonal rewards/loot since I feel like I am left out because I just started. I searched online and it said that I can target loot some of the weapons but how about the other rewards back then?

[cedar yacht]

You can all the previous season gear either normally or from legacy caches. But cant get blueprints until they rerun the season tied to it at the moment.

[velvet badge]

where would i farm for the umbra initiative set?

[clever ocean]

Targeted loot from summit or cd

[next sail]

How do you get the stinger lmg ?
Need to level it up
Is it an exclusive weapon that i can't get ?

[velvet badge]

ty

[kind cove]

Yes

Exclusive

[next sail]

Alright ty

[hallow raptor]

Part of the friend referral rewards iirc, includes the blueprint to craft stinger.

[next sail]

Ty ty

[late sequoia]

Does the matador backpack only drop in the DZ or can i get it out of those named caches?

[kind cove]

All named items drop from caches

[lost yacht]

can get it from named caches but if u open the chests that are scattered around the DZ i’ve had luck finding matadors in there

[trim plover]

thanks for letting me know

[late sequoia]

ty

[late sequoia]

ty for da info

[wraith ridge]

For new players, do they have to beat the game 5 times to reach world tier 5?

they bought WONY and are starting out

[narrow matrix]

They have to beat each stronghold twice except tidal basin is counted as a new area and manning national zoo in WT5

Tidal basin completion gets them to world tier 5, from there they can do manning zoo as part of story then go to NY or go to NY and come back to manning

[stray spruce]

is this talent good ?

for like pvp wise

[wise summit]

So, just finished the nyc thing, tried doing the dark zone, raid and summit all for the first time trying to figuring out what i should do next, i believe what i should be doing is getting better gear, should i continue doing these 3 activities?

[stray spruce]

focus on maxing out ur watch

do convoys and level up

[wise summit]

convoys are the open world stuff right?

[next sail]

Where is my manhunt vest ?
I cannot find it in apparence mods
Anyone know ?

[stray spruce]

conboys are open world yes

this right here
do those with directives and u get 600k xp

[wise summit]

aah i see, still haven't messed with the directive and global difficulty thing yet

I should put it on the hardest one right?

[stray spruce]

whats ur level

[wise summit]

i think it's 40? or is this SHD the new leveling thing? if so it's 06

[stray spruce]

yeah just do it on hard if u can and right before u pick up the boxes just turn on the directives

and pick it up and then turn them off after

and keep repeating

[wise summit]

hah that's neat, will do that then. Thank you!

[stray spruce]

id say do it the convoy farming before they patch it because they know its giving out alot of xp

[wise summit]

Ok, just did one, i'm supposed to turn on the directives before running above the boxes right?

[stray spruce]

yes

[wise summit]

hmm i don't know if it worked, i ran through the boxes then got teleported to a safehouse

[real cypress]

does tardigrade armor only drop from TS bosses in missions or it can drop from any TS boss?

[stray spruce]

top right corner

it should show you 600k xp

in green gained

and when it tps u to a safe house
deactivate them and look for another convoy

[clever ocean]

ya that's why most people move off of it after their 1st build

easier to do heroic 5d on other builds

[tough marsh]

I prefer H5D with either a Regulus headhunter build or artillery turret build

[sweet needle]

hello, i found this map online and i was wondering what the icon with the bandana+glasses is for? (spoilered in case people dont want this info, i know some players dont like guides or w/e)

[eternal plank]

possible cassie spawns?

[sweet needle]

nah, she's the cart icon :/

that's what was confusing me

but thank you!

[eternal plank]

thats best i can think of idk then

the shirt is prolly the snitch

[sweet needle]

yeah

[eternal plank]

is there a legend for the site

[sweet needle]

thought for a sec it was Hunters but there aren't enough and it's not the right locations

[sweet needle]

no, sadly

[eternal plank]

could be the secret missions

the secret mission givers

[sweet needle]

you know what, i think it is!

thank you!!

[eternal plank]

yk it's the one in Judiciary Square that gave it away for me

[supple swift]

you either go regulus HH or you go ep fire

for guns run either capacitor, sweet dreams, test subject, super 90 with insync, the mop (for survivability) with preservation or insync (basically guns with high DTA)
for mods use skill haste or AOK. mine uses AOK coz i play with scav skills directive

golan
fire chem

no

oxydizer is not a status effect
its affected by skill damage, skill efficiency, skill duration damage to armor, damage to targets out of cover, and rate of fire talents on guns

its the standard build setup for fire ep just the guns different

they dont unless you use the firewall sidearm first
and/or use the flamethrower

[mellow trout]

You can set fire to molten lava on IH lol

[real cypress]

does efficient apply the 100% specialization armor kit to my teammates? as in if i were to use the survivalist spec and then pop armor with the efficient talent, would my teammates get double the regen rate?

[deep quest]

Hey guys, whats the recommended thing to do with weapons/gear as I approach level 30? should I be deconstructing? or just selling stuff?

[mellow trout]

Selling won't get you much money

[old rose]

deconstruct mats will come in handy

question we can get dark winter and the apartment in an invaded DZ right?

[mellow trout]

There's invaded dz?

[old rose]

yeah

[mellow trout]

Probably you can

It's still dz

[old rose]

i hope so

[mellow trout]

If not golden bullets here so you can abuse named caches

Got my first hollow man/emperor's guard

[nimble spruce]

Yes.

[old rose]

pog just got a railsplitter

[mellow trout]

Is there a way to use rifles (on console) without breaking your fingers

[old rose]

anyone know what the rewards from dz safehouse are?

[nimble spruce]

Random items I think

[long dove]

Does anyone know how to get the first part for the nemesis? I tried running tidal basin like 3 times but couldn’t get inside the ship

[lavish drift]

you pick up the adrestia and then decon it

[tulip fiber]

Did you get the key card in the bunk room?

[long dove]

Yea I did

[rugged stratus]

Worth using that adrestia to proficient if you want to save 300shd points down he road. Then decon

[long dove]

I couldn’t get in the ship to get it, I did grab the key tho

[mellow trout]

Sure you're in the right place?

[lavish drift]

if you cant get it then you are either in the wrong place or you didnt have the keycard

[long dove]

Every video I watch they grab the key and skip to the ship.

[long dove]

The ship at the end right ?

[lavish drift]

yes

[long dove]

I’ll keep that in mind😂

[lavish drift]

you need to go left instead of right inside the ship

[long dove]

How do I get that gate open?

[mellow trout]

The key

[long dove]

Really it didn’t open. Unless I’m using it in the wrong area

Is there like a panel before the gate?

[tulip fiber]

https://youtu.be/H-sb_dzQq9o

[fallow inlet]

Hey Kettle

[long dove]

That video skips to the door lol

[fallow inlet]

Fresh what door are you trying to open

[lavish drift]

https://youtu.be/UeWaAcbyU5k?t=170

[nimble spruce]

Hey Saph

[nimble spruce]

You have to go through the hovercraft, past that door, in order to complete the mission

[long dove]

I’m probably doing the wrong mission lol

[nimble spruce]

It's the standard version of tidal basin, not the hornet manhunt one

[long dove]

Welp that explains it 😂

[nimble spruce]

(not legendary either)

[lavish drift]

lmao

[long dove]

Definitely been killing hornet

[lavish drift]

bro playing the manhunt instead 💀

[long dove]

😂

[mellow trout]

Ffs 💀

[tulip fiber]

Why change the mission type, though?

[fallow inlet]

1 is designed to get the rifle the other is designed to get the skill

AKA the healing trap

[old rose]

i'm curious whats the rarest dz drop?

[mellow trout]

Any raid exotic

[north gale]

now thats creepy

[cedar schooner]

You could also say emperors knee pads with armor regen minor.

[next sail]

It isn't rare , they all have the same chance to drop , raid exotics are rarest

[narrow kraken]

Question for frequent level 30 players. SInce I've started a new hardcore run I didn't go to NYC yet because I'm trying to complete the 30-library with 2 missing talents. Now beside that is seems impossible to get them on weapons it also struck me that I only got one exotic during all the time I played. Looted hundreds of items but they don't drop anymore. Is this the new normal and has the game become so stingy that you simple can't get any.

[old rose]

its just bad rng

this game doesn't have destiny 2 like drop rates for exotics

[narrow kraken]

Well I don't recall it being this bad last time I played on level 30. Had stssh full of them, and talents seems to be fixed to only few. You're always seeing the same one drop, time and time again. And are the same for all types.

[solid cave]

Hey, this is kind of a dumb question, but i cant figure out how to get invaded missions active in my game, ive basically been playing with my friend, we did the story, then i accidentally skipped to Warlords, did that, came back to DC and have been playing for a few days, but i havent seen any signs of invasion and im kind of a noob, but i dont think im that dense. Are there any requirements etc?

I've just learned about the Nemesis, and i got the Scope and Stock (By joining someone else's invaded mission somehow). Not sure how to see it in my own game though.

[real cypress]

hey there, in case you dont know how invasion works, every week a section of the map will be invaded by black tusk like this week is in the east i think, invasions usually come with 3 missions that is invaded by blacktusk, the stronghold and finally tidal basin

for me when i came back to DC on a boosted character, invaded missions are already on my map since the game considers you to have completed all world tiers

[solid cave]

Aye, i saw them on my friends game instance and we did some for the Technician unlock, but i dont seem to have the ability to replay it, or even see the options

[real cypress]

hmm i see, so when you complete the invaded mission, it will show up as grey on your map

you can toggle between invaded and normal missions

on the mission that is currently invaded like i said before

and iirc in order to replay a mission, you just need to select difficulty

[solid cave]

Yeah i saw people on reddit showing the replay invaded/uninvaded options, but i dont seem to have it, which is odd

Ill give it a restart again, see if anything changes

[real cypress]

like i said before, you have to select difficulty before you can play a mission

otherwise the game would think that you are just entering that area for exploration?

[solid cave]

yeahg i mean it doesnt give me the option to replay it invaded

[real cypress]

you just need to toggle between invaded and normal

[solid cave]

Do you know what the weekly one is?

[nimble spruce]

DUA, GW Hotel, Jefferson Trade Centre, Bank

just open mission options and instead of selecting difficulty or directives, look for the 'toggle mission mode' prompt

[rough pecan]

for the chatterbox components, getting the parts is all RNG yeah? i've gotten the loaded canister first & the creative mag 2nd..finding the modified mods is RNG in judiciary square yes?

[mellow trout]

I vaguely remember them having specific lockboxes

[rugged stratus]

They are definitely faction specific.
It is rng but there are usually a couple boxes in each area.

I forgot the faction as well tho 😅

[mellow trout]

It's a hyena gun so I imagine the hyenas

[rugged stratus]

Oh yeah. Been a minute 👍

[old rose]

what has better exo chance heroic or challenging CD

[solid cave]

it worked now for some reason lol, thanks a lot 😄

I think i wasnt holding g, rather just going to difficulty options

[hallow raptor]

Typically heroic activities have the higher drop rates. But since countdown give currency, and challenging is easier to matchmake and complete, challenging might be the better option. Up to you

[old rose]

just trying to get my scorpio really and maybe an exotic cache or 2

[hallow raptor]

Set shotgun targeted loot and cross your fingers… lol

[old rose]

i am like i've gotten every gun aside from it

only want it to make hunters easier to deal with

[hallow raptor]

Standard…. Farm something else and it will drop. 🤣

[next sail]

Can use shock traps
Drop them before hunters emp and they will work aswell

[thorn hedge]

do you already have the nemesis in stash

[mellow trout]

They were running it on the manhunt version 💀

[thorn hedge]

lmfao bruh

[long dove]

Yea I had to run through all the invaded mission lol I got it tho

[thorn hedge]

The manhunt mission doesn't even take you to that room

[hallow raptor]

Now go back an replay the invaded stronghold to get the next part. And possibly replay the invaded hotel after that for a chance at the blueprint

[thorn hedge]

Lol

[rocky meadow]

is there any way to change the keybinding of shoulder swap from shift to somethingelse?

[long dove]

Imma wait until I level the weapon to ten first before dismantling it

[old rose]

think i used up all my rng with my random railsplitter drop in dz this morning can't get a single exo drop in CD

[hallow raptor]

That would be a waste. Use materials to upgrade to proficiency 10. Otherwise you might be waiting a long time for the hotel to be invaded again….

[thorn hedge]

I think it's binded to whatever sprint is

[long dove]

Yea I just started a month ago and never did anything with the story but New York, so I didn’t realized I could change between manhunt and invaded lol. Tbh didn’t even realize invaded was a thing

[long dove]

Ah ok I’ll do that then lol

[rocky meadow]

changed it and yes ur right...played too much ghost recon i instinctively goes for middle MB to swap shoulders XD

[thorn hedge]

Swapping shoulders is almost completely irrelevant

[fierce osprey]

What shd level should I be before doing legendary capitol building

[thorn hedge]

The only time it's ever actually useful is with ravenous

[rocky meadow]

thats exactly why i need it LOL

[thorn hedge]

SHD doesn't matter only your ability to shoot and not die

Ravenous itself isn't really a good gun to use outside one shotting

Since you can't swap shoulders with a shield out

iirc

[fierce osprey]

Yes, but I get like 3 shot so im not entirely sure I should be attempting it

[thorn hedge]

Then focus on your build rather than SHD level

[fierce osprey]

Striker not worth using for this?

[thorn hedge]

I'd say no because you have to stay out of cover to actually fire off shots

[fierce osprey]

What would you recommend?

[rocky meadow]

prob heartbreaker

[tough marsh]

The first area of Capitol will be your biggest bottleneck

[rocky meadow]

with technician laser

[fierce osprey]

I noticed that, there is an awful amount of juggernauts

[thorn hedge]

I run sniper first room but that requires good aim which most people in this game don't have

[hallow raptor]

Thinking about giving away some random exotics (3) and named items (3) today….. PlayStation and best joke takes em’…. lol

[tough marsh]

There are a few rush tactics that skip the previous waves. If you rush deep till the gates you'll skip a few waves and no Chunga or warhounds will spawn. How you are going to get there, though, is also a hurdle

[thorn hedge]

What a great idea to suggest to a new player

[tough marsh]

Thanks

Well you can take the safest way and approach it using a drone and turret build

Downside is that takes several years

[nimble spruce]

player trying to solo leg stronghold is prob not 'new player' (or at least, doesn't need to be hand-held)

[fierce osprey]

Not soloing

[nimble spruce]

oh, prob don't do the rush then unless the rest of your team do it

negotiators works well against warhounds & heavies, tag the warhounds first then lay into the heavies

[versed pumice]

@thorn hedge heyy

[pulsar zodiac]

best season cache to buy?

[dull bane]

Depends what you need/want I suppose. Named or exotic cache.

I'm guessing named though, since those can give you otherwise dz exclusive named stuff?

I'm gonna miss the golden bullet stuff when the event ends :/

[tiny stump]

yeah. wont we all

[dull bane]

Never played during the other events so I dunno which one is the most fun/least annoying.

Auntie and golden bullet are the only two I've experienced.

[tiny stump]

GB is generally considred by far the best/most fun

[dull bane]

The one where enemies get up again if you don't kill them with headshots sounds annoying.

[tiny stump]

yeah but you get xp for both kills so its a good way to level up

the most annoying is guardians

[dull bane]

Hollywood sounds annoying too.

But I guess going with the emp pulse makes it better

[tiny stump]

guardians has all the enemies invincible until you kill their guardian npc, which usually hangs out way in the back

[dull bane]

ugh

[tiny stump]

yea i put it on hard or normal mode for that shit so i can just breeze thru the challenges and then i shut off the event

[dull bane]

At least golden bullet is so worth it, and even makes stuff much much faster because of the buff.

[tiny stump]

yep

its super fun

[dull bane]

Doing tombs now for the daily project, hoping I can bypass a lot of the whack-a-mole stupid boss 😛

[tiny stump]

jammer pulse helps but you probably already know that

[dull bane]

I didn't, but thanks for the tip.

[tiny stump]

yaeh it destroys the decoys

[dull bane]

This is only my second time doing the mission.

First was during the campaign

[tiny stump]

yeah the boss part can be irritating

[dull bane]

I ran a skill build though first time, which didn't help much on that boss 😛

With seeker and turret.

Granted, not a good build since I was in levelling gear.

[solid cave]

Just a quick one, how do you activate the manhunt Bounties for the missions? The ones to target one of the 4 named targets

[dull bane]

Welp, emp pulse only helped a little, but not against most of the bs 😛

It's not a skill build so the cooldown sucked 😛

And golden bullet didn't allow me to kill him while I played whack-a-mole with him in the towers.

It only moved it to the next phase faster.

[outer gust]

I was repeating bank-headquarter mission to kill roach for the specialisation mission. Finished him but appearantly he wasnt there? Did I do sth wrong?

[vital haven]

bro i knew division 2 is awesome but omg i just realised this

like excuse me damn this next level

[hallow raptor]

Oh yeah! @vital haven

[nimble spruce]

once you've unlocked them by doing the other manhunt activities in that area, just head to the bounty screen and they'll show up there

[solid cave]

Awesome thanks

[fallow inlet]

Hey RIRI

[kind cove]

Where do I get yaahl gear?

[somber crown]

DZ

[worthy patrol]

i spent 7 hours looking for dark winter in the dz today do i just give up and use the apartment 😭 😭 😭

[potent shale]

I have got my first Nemesis even though I have not craft one yet, I wonder if they start dropping as soon as you have the blueprint or if Nemesis is always in the pool 🤔

[next sail]

After you have the bp

[fierce osprey]

Does anyone know a faster way to farm for coyotes mask

[nimble spruce]

faster than what?

[fierce osprey]

Just sat there running jefferson trade for hours

[restive rapids]

maybe try set countdown target loot to mask and run challenging difficulty repeatedly

[nimble spruce]

farm challenging countdown with Mask target loot, or if you want something even more repetitive then summit f10

[restive rapids]

you also get countdown tokens to buy exotic caches as well

[old rose]

apartment on the whole i think is probably considered better

but personally saying dark winter just sounds cool

only reason i want the gun

[worthy patrol]

only reason i want it is because it looks cool too hahahha 😭

but saying the apartment is considered better makes me a feel a lil better

[next sail]

Nope dark winter is better

[worthy patrol]

oh ok cool i feel like shit again

[dusk ore]

So what did you buy 😄

[worthy patrol]

thats crazy howd u do it, resource convoys ?

[dusk ore]

Yep 🙂 today 300 lvl SHD

[worthy patrol]

very nice

[rugged stratus]

Stack exo components 🤣

[dusk ore]

i have 999/999 😦

[rugged stratus]

Then buy exo cache on your alts to save for future exotics coming out

If you're legit making those type of gains on shd you wont need other resources either

[dusk ore]

I have a lot of material, way to 43k shd

[rugged stratus]

Yeah exactly stack the caches on alts and open later. At that range you're not even Needing to wony run...

[dusk ore]

I'm looking for friends on farming lvl SHD. and I love this game for 4 years in a row

[lilac remnant]

ijust unocked the ridgeways chest from the project and cant find it. i checked blue prints and mailbox and nothing

[hallow raptor]

I believe you craft it

And you completed all projects and floor 100?

[lilac remnant]

i scrolled down just as i opened the crafting place it was there ty

blind as a bat when panicking lol

[deep lagoon]

For rikers tactical assemen. BLUE print can drop in Challenger in NY wall street mission? Or only heroic difficulty?

[wispy merlin]

blueprint can drop randomly from lv3+ control points

it doesn't drop from missions

[deep lagoon]

TKS!

[brave sparrow]

Does anyone else’s game keep crashing? Mine only started crashing after the newest nvidia update

[tiny stump]

i did the update too but im not crashing

[deep lagoon]

Summit worth doing ?

[brave sparrow]

It just crashed again:/

[knotty cargo]

can we do golden bullet event on the summit ?

[wispy merlin]

yes

[knotty cargo]

ty

[idle tapir]

Does anyone got a website or a helpful video where I can check every mob weak spot?

[lilac remnant]

i set my phone down leaning on my keyboard for a second and just donated all my resources by accident on one piece 🥲

[tiny stump]

ouch

[dense spoke]

Can anyone recommend me a skill build to farm convoys ? Trying to grind out the watch

[narrow kraken]

The dark zone. What is the best thing I can do

[tough marsh]

Artillery turret explosive build. Consists of at least 1pc China Light Industries, 2pc Grupo Sombra rolled to skill tier with skill damage and skill haste, 1pc Chestpiece with Glass Cannon and 1pc backpack with Shock and Awe / Tech Support / Combined Arms
If the Grupo Sombra is too hard to farm, you can replace them with 3pc Empress International

[little dagger]

Inventory control advice? How do you all decide what to keep. I need to seriously do some housekeeping. I currently have my active builds on my main, red core pieces in my stash, blue cores on toon # 2, yellow cores on toon # 3 and just use toon 4 for SHD leveling. 99% of my stuff is either god rolled or just 1 re-cal from being god rolled. In all reality I probably will never need a good majority of thee pieces but unsure of the best way to trim down. How do you guys decide what to get rid of? Thanks

[thorn hedge]

If it's not on a build or an exotic then decon

Anything can be refarmed

Also don't keep more than 3 mods of each type (yes I know of improv all you lurkers)

And no more than 1 skill mod of each type

[little dagger]

Thanks. Time for some soul searching!😂

[thorn hedge]

Oh also dz exclusives you can hold onto as well

With all of this I'm literally able to keep my characters inventory to 0/150 and stash isn't even full either

If I need a build I take from stash

Or if I don't know what build I need, I pull multiple from stash

[little dagger]

I feel like I’ve got a hoarding problem 😂. Will try a clean out today. Thanks for your input

[thorn hedge]

The only things to keep are what you're using and what's a pain in the ass to refarm

As simple as that lol

[past spoke]

what's the strongest sniper build rn, aces, tip of the spear, or high end?

[real cypress]

on a hunters fury build with ridgeway's pride, would it be better to use a backpack with creeping death instead of wicked for bleed spreading for additional armor regen?

[rain nova]

Where do i get st elmo engine

[somber crown]

In the next update

[rain nova]

Oh

How do people on youtube have it then

[kind cove]

Test server

[cedar yacht]

Tips, Hotshot, or High End are all equally good so its your choice.

[somber crown]

Like all of them are held back by Headhunter cap of max 1250% weapon damage of a shot. The high end build with a vigilance backpack can actually get a few millions higher then the gearsets but youre left with a barebone damage build and no extra gearset gimmicks.

Hotshot is nice for the extra armor.
Tip is nice for the Tac50 to crack things.

[past spoke]

wish i could play hotshot but i miss too often

[somber crown]

Aces is the carefree package whitout having to worry about extra buffs or stuff.

[somber crown]

I like Tip + Mantis/Decoy
It shines in solo heroic and is really fun to play

[calm jungle]

I did the mounted guns thing in control points and all but the progress isn't showing here. What am I missing?

[ruby wharf]

hello ive been learning m&kbd for a while cause i was a console main is challenging to heroic a big jump in difficulty or is it not that bad? i want to try it but i dunno if im wasting my time

[robust grail]

I'm trying to get the Harmony rifle. Is it in the loot pool for Named Caches? I'm a very casual player and I don't think I can handle the DZ.

[rugged stratus]

yes, harmony can drop in named cache

[arctic tusk]

i thought you can't reroll secondary attributes on exotics?

[lavish drift]

you cant

[arctic tusk]

just got another sacrum, one i already had has RoF but this one has DtooC

[cedar schooner]

Sacrum is an exception. The new exotic in the next season will behave the same. You just have to recalibrate it till you have the attribute you want.

[arctic tusk]

i mean im fine with DtooC anyways, just wasn't sure if it was a bug or something

[mellow trout]

St Elmo's with dttooc absolute madness

[arctic tusk]

st elmo?

[mellow trout]

Imagine that thing with eclipse too

[mellow trout]

Exotic M4 coming at some point

[arctic tusk]

side note, people still run the raids right?

[mellow trout]

Of course

Just need a group

[arctic tusk]

never ran them before, both too scared and dont have a build for it. like yea i could look up one but then i have to get the stuff

[mellow trout]

I can show you a few builds you might want but don't be scared

They're really not that hard with a group that knows left from right

[arctic tusk]

i dont wanna like be carried/be a burden and not help people, but i dont think running something like a drone/turret or a healer build would be as helpful. if you dont mind DMing me the build so i can save them that be nice though @mellow trout

[mellow trout]

The healer is very important on Iron Horse

[somber crown]

If you play heroic at some point you just roll with it. My open world is always set to hero. And i think many others nowadays see this as their standard difficulty.

[hushed viper]

I’m doing this bounty but they have spawned a floor above me with no way for me to get to them, anyone able to help?

[mellow trout]

You can't regenerate bonus armor

[lavish drift]

why don't you get full ammo on summit? floor before boss always has a crate

[wide juniper]

been in the dz for hours didnt get the dark winter, i saw people got it from the auntie manhunt can anyone here confirm?

might try to farm it

[bronze viper]

Good morning. I just downloaded it on PC but what means this?

RMB

Oh its right mouse button?

[boreal mural]

yes

[bronze viper]

Ty@boreal mural

[misty halo]

hey guys, they wont give us challenge for day 5 and 6?
