[blazing timber]

yeah i realised it later my bad but still i thought you were talking about lootcifer

[rugged stratus]

Ig the 30mins/per exo +possible drops didnt indicate that

Should just take an extra second sometimes 👍

[worldly fjord]

does heroic countdown give enough currency for an exo cache per run?

[blazing timber]

no it around 208 max per run for heroic

[worldly fjord]

ah that sucks

legendary countdown would be cool

[blazing timber]

we need countdown directives increase reward by 25% per directive that would be good imo

[worldly fjord]

that too yeah

or maybe not capturing a countermeasure gives bonus xp

[blazing timber]

xdd

[rugged stratus]

Just judging how picky heroic lobbies are, imagine the stipulations a legendary cd lobby would have 🤣
agents must be 10k+ and expertise 23 or insta kicked 🤣 🤣

[blazing timber]

even better 20K SHD minimum 👀 with scorpio only

[worldly fjord]

yeah i guess that would be a downside

[blazing timber]

and two cc mandatory in a group for each half

and no haz countermeasures

[rugged stratus]

I would be instant gold then 😅
I'm 100% cc only in any cd lobby

[blazing timber]

pfe will be meta than

[blazing timber]

lol

[jade hawk]

Where can you see all the exo composants you have ? Same as for key where do you see the number of keys you have for each factions ?

[nimble spruce]

inventory, then tab a few times to the right (resources) and scroll down

[jade hawk]

Thanks !

[worldly fjord]

whats the fastest way to reach conflict rank 100?

[rose cairn]

why does my game only crash in the DZ?

[solemn sandal]

Can anyone tell me what weapons are worth keeping for each category as high end weapons? Thank you!

[heavy hound]

How do you farm levels im at 18 on my watch any tips cause I want to get to be able to do countdown

[rugged stratus]

M870 shotty, super90 shotty, white death named mmr, famas ar, carbine7 ar, d50 pistol, kard custom pistol, m1a classic & cqb rifles, no comment on lmg or smg

[rugged stratus]

Do open world activities, challenging or heroic with directives you can manage.
Executions, propaganda broadcasts, and control points all fast with good xp

[heavy hound]

Okay so countdown when do you recommend starting to run that?

[rugged stratus]

And do daily and weekly projects

Anytime. Just bring dps like striker and stick to challenging for time being. It's more manageable when new

No skill builds , skills get hacked

[heavy hound]

Striker is what exactly I don’t understand what that means hear it a lot in the videos but no one ever explains it

[rugged stratus]

It's a green set. Striker battlegear

[heavy hound]

Get the whole set and use it?

[rugged stratus]

#td2-build-advice has a pinned spreadsheet with comprehensive build guides for that and many other builds

[tiny stump]

You only really need the holster, the knees, the gloves and the backpack and maybe the mask

[rain echo]

Never use a full gearset

You only need 4 pc to proc the talent

[rugged stratus]

Never use 6 pc of same gear *

[heavy hound]

Okay and I won’t be able to get the exotics unless I have the blueprint right or is that only with the new st elmos?

[rain echo]

Just woke up brain ain't 100% there 😂

[rugged stratus]

You can farm exotics. I e even heard of Elmo's dropping before unlocked on the season track since recent patch

[heavy hound]

Okay so just set my targeted loot to what the st elmos is and hope I get it

[rugged stratus]

Countdown is perfect for farming. You can set to ar. Not a lot of drops in countdown tho. But every 2 completes to have credits to buy an exotic cache. Complete random from caches tho

[heavy hound]

Yeah I’m going for farming cause I’m just not strong enough for much rn

How is the xp in countdown?

Is it good to farm levels also while going for loot?

[rugged stratus]

Little less than a full shd each run. I think like 500-600k on challenging

[heavy hound]

That’s not too terrible tho

[rugged stratus]

Not bad

[heavy hound]

About how long per run you think It will take cause I’m trynna get st elmos

[rugged stratus]

Around 15mins

It's fairly quick

[heavy hound]

Okay not slow either okay ill try it out

[rugged stratus]

Yeah, just follow the crowd. You'll get the hang pretty quick. Most groups avoid the VIP objective 👍

[narrow kraken]

could someone pls tell me how i get in there, i dont get it

[rugged stratus]

I ways get lost in bounty locations 😅

There is probably an entrance around the perimeter or if you were inside for part of it already, maybe an elevator shaft or something. Some are a bit tricky

[narrow kraken]

im searching for like 15min now, i feel blind xd

nvm i think i found it

[rugged stratus]

Nice 👍

[heavy hound]

Will the lobby fill up fast even tho I’m a low level?

[elder seal]

anyone know why it doesn’t let me donate junk to expertise

[carmine tendon]

Sorry I am new, but I heard I should save all sidequests for the last stretch to 30. If so and I am undergeared/leveled for the next main mission, what are my best choices to catch up

[dusky seal]

if you are donating the same items that are already leveled up it won't work. also each donation is like 1 xp per item if im not mistaken so it will take a while to fill that

[rugged stratus]

yeah, countdown matchmaking is usually pretty quick. just use map> matchmaking> countdown > challenging. youll get an invite to a group . once in a while you will end up as host, so once grouped and goto escape menu> social. if you have a crown next to your name youll be the one who has to start it. just hold f to start mission once lobby is full (8 agents total).

[elder seal]

confusing. i’m shd 180 and i’ve had the same build pretty much the whole time and never tried donating the junk or leveling up the expertise until now and when i hold square to donate it does nothing

[rugged stratus]

sometimes it will appear like you didnt donate anything . you can check item count before and after to verify. may have to spam the donation button a couple times. also check if any of the gear left over is already proficient. stuff that is proficient wont donate and need to be broken down for the mats

[dense basalt]

And you're sure everything is marked as junk and the items aren't already proficient

[dusky seal]

btw is it better to run countdown in challenging or heroic?

[dense basalt]

Also keep an eye on the numbers when first opening expertise at table left hand corner will be your profiency number and then smaller numbers like 8/70 or something after donating see if the smaller number changes

[jade hawk]

What is the difference between armor and protection ?

[thorn hedge]

If you're out of materials or items to donate then yeah

Also your items need to be marked as junk

[tame basin]

We only run heroic. But run at the difficulty that you are capable of.

[main glacier]

I wish they add legendary on countdown

[tame basin]

It would be fun, and also legendary open world-

[wise pasture]

To farm the memento pack should I do CP4? Or countdown?

[iron meteor]

Lmao I left opened this Discord channel and I did not see I was there. I did not mean to post my previous message there. That's a miss click x)

Sorry guys

[open mesa]

I haven’t played division 2 in a minute what’s countdown?

[regal summit]

It's a gamemode where you run around a powerplant and complete some objectives and kill a bunch of enemies. You get a lot of loot doing it. It's intended for 8 players and you can matchmake for it on 4 different difficulties.

[open mesa]

Thx

[fallow inlet]

Challenging is best for match making

[blazing timber]

Morning Saph

[thorny mirage]

Hello, I wanna clarify something regarding this seasons story. When was it first mentioned that Manny is Mari Singh's husband?

[marble leaf]

does dodge city holster not proc head hunter?

[dull condor]

Regarding Countdown: is it possible to join with a group of two without the group being dismissed?

[wispy merlin]

no, it gives you headshot damage, it doesn't make your shots headshots

[blazing timber]

it make your shot with pistol to have insane first shot value paired with chain killer to start at max hh stack from the first shot

[blazing timber]

yeah but both leaves and join cd at same time you can manually invite player as a leader

[nova granite]

'Hey kid! I'm not your dad. Come visit me in a while.'
Didn't the vendor maker get any better line.
Lol

[main glacier]

Only for strongholds 😦

[worldly fjord]

not married yet i believe. the first hint of the relationship was last season when Nat left a comm for manny, saying stress isnt good for pregnant women

[thorny mirage]

Ohhh I see, kinda scary that Nat knew stuff about Manny we didn't even know before hand 😳 Thanks for the clarification!

[nova granite]

There is also not 100% confirmation that they r not married.

[blazing timber]

we probably have their marriage certificate as collectible soon

[nova granite]

Maybe

[worldly fjord]

and then manny cheats with kelso

[blazing timber]

lmao and mari joins nat and deploys hunters against him

[worldly fjord]

hunt his ass

[nova granite]

Lol. There is no evidence behind that.

[worldly fjord]

yeah because im joking

[nimble spruce]

Real reason Kelso headed off: she wanted Manny and hates seeing him with Mari

[blazing timber]

Plot Twist

[nimble spruce]

Or she wanted Mari and hates seeing her with Manny, I guess

[nova granite]

lol

[blazing timber]

maybe manny will propose both of them Polygamy 👀

[nova granite]

Why can't i deconstruct these 4 pistols?

[civic lily]

specialization

[nimble spruce]

They're the specialization ones

[blazing timber]

these are fixed pcs and cannot be deconstructed/sold

[civic lily]

11.6 pistol damage

[nimble spruce]

Don't use up space in your inventory though

[worldly fjord]

they really suck

[nova granite]

These r in my stash.

I use regulus lol

[nova granite]

That's why i wanted 2 dismantle them

[worldly fjord]

technically you can respec them in the spec menu

[civic lily]

u got regulus before maxed out tech pistol?

lol

[nova granite]

i didnt max out them

[civic lily]

ik

[nova granite]

Yeah. I got regulus

[nova granite]

Lol. That's no biggie

Before regulus I used regular D50 maxed

[worldly fjord]

this is as good as the spec pistols get

[vale quarry]

hello all, just starteed this game. Cant find anyone to matchmake with me on first missions on campaign, but i always get help if i call for backup. Is it normal ? is matchmaking somehow harder than caalling for backup ?

i dont really understand difference between matchmaking and backup

can someone explain ?

[nimble spruce]

Matchmaking will only work if someone else is also matchmaking for the same thing on the same difficulty - since the vast majority of players are now in the endgame, almost no-one will be matchmaking for story difficulty

Calls for backup will go out to everyone though, regardless of difficulty

[vale quarry]

cool ty for explaining. Oh btw just got matchmaked on lvl 9 mission lol 😄

[rancid dirge]

Is there any benefits to resetting the manhunt?

[worldly fjord]

the bosses for each target has a chance of dropping dz exclusive named items

[rancid dirge]

I’ve got the time and a little bored so yeah, I guess I’ll run through it again.

Thx

[rancid dirge]

Random question. How do you get specialization points on a 2nd character? All field research was done on the 1st and carried over, but I don’t have any points on the 2nd.

[blazing timber]

by levelling up gives +3 points playing invaded missions

completing project

[hallow raptor]

First runs of invaded missions gives 5 points each. Certain (not all) bounties also give points, just read what is rewarded upon completion.

[inner tendon]

Farming it out during an Event where you gain SHD quicker (e.g. during GE's by virtue of playing more focused, or Apparel Events) you'll max them all out before you know it.

[inner tendon]

@nova granite You're looking for #lfg-pc

[thorny mirage]

Im gonna guess im not supposed to get this item?

[inner tendon]

Yeah it's just a bug, they crop up every now and then.

[full sapphire]

Haven't really been playing for a long time yet so idk, does the game rerun apparel events? there's some outfits i wanna get but they're only obtainable with premium currency. I need to know because i'll just buy them if they don't

[narrow kraken]

Anyone tested the TTK for the Striker/Elmos/Coyote build between Fenris w/Obliterate vs. Ceska w/Obliterate?

[rugged stratus]

ceska oblit lets you hit highest chd iirc

[dull condor]

What can I to with the currency I get for apparel items I have? Don't see a shop for it

[regal summit]

Some items in the shop are purchasable with textiles

[solemn sandal]

Just a question guys I have a classic m1a with plus 12 percent damage from my expertise if I reroll the talent will that reset the 12 percent back to 0 again?

[rugged stratus]

check out the apparel store. they all have a premium credit price, but some will list a textile option to buy in yellow.

[rugged stratus]

no, its actually pretty decent to have expertise on a weapon where talent is free to roll 👍 . if meta changes you dont lose all those materials spent to upgrade

[solemn sandal]

Thank you! appreciate it!

[nova granite]

Which specific weapons or gears give more polycarbonate?

Need more 500 of them!

[hallow raptor]

10 shd watch points will get you 500….

[narrow kraken]

hey guys, my main account got banned in this server because it got hacked, how can i appeal the ban?

or who should i ask in this situation

[hallow raptor]

Good luck with that….

[narrow kraken]

thanks lol

[inner tendon]

You can appeal for a ban removal, just provide evidence that you've turned on 2fa and PM the ModMail, someone can help you out.

[nova granite]

Which way an ubisoft account can get hacked?

[inner tendon]

I believe this user is talking about a discord account, as they said "this server".
Although a ubisoft account can get "hacked" if your password is found out by some means, and you don't have 2fa on.

It actually happened to me back in div1, someone stole my account, deleted my characters, and changed the language to Russian.

[blazing timber]

really that is horrible experience

[dull condor]

I unlocked the year 1 specialisations but they all show quests to do and they don't have points to spend...

[nimble spruce]

you can activate them without doing the quests though. You'll still have to earn the points the old fashioned way.

The quests now just give you extra blueprints and skins iirc.

[inner tendon]

It really was, but Ubi support did eventually get my stuff back, restoring the characters to full.
Still the best experience I've had with ingame support to this day.

[dull condor]

What is the old fashioned way?

[dusky seal]

i think you gotta do the specialization quests tho

[blazing timber]

good for you but i just turn on 2fa everywhere i see

[dusky seal]

one of my friends got the game and did not have all specializations unlocked and cannot activate them either

[inner tendon]

re: spec points.
If you buy the whatever fancy edition, you don't need to do the projects, but either way:
Levelling up your SHD gives you 3 points each time, do weekly/daily projects that reward them, same as certain bounties that list them as a reward all gives various amounts of points.

[blazing timber]

and Spotify doesn't have 2fa

[wise pasture]

So the max SHD level is essentially 1000? Then all you get are scavenging points and extra health?

[nimble spruce]

yep

and the warm glow of seeing a number go up

[wise pasture]

Absolutely, and having a cool watch too

[hallow raptor]

And lots of watch points when you level an alt through wony…. (Disclaimer: shd level 1500+ required to make it worth it.) @wise pasture

[wise pasture]

Hm? What do you mean?

[hallow raptor]

When you level an alternate character through wony, that character becomes the same shd level as your main character. shd level 1500 means you get 700 scavenging points (800 are required for leveling up watch perks) to use for materials etc.

I just got 11200 points….

[wise pasture]

Oh, I didn't know your other character got the same SHD level as your main

[nova granite]

'by some means' mean sending keylogger through spam email, dictionary attack or brute force generally.

Yeah, turning 2FA can boost security to max.

[rugged stratus]

I'll dispute this disclaimer 😅

If all alts are made early you can harvest 4 times the gains as you climb. Could come in clutch when you just need a couple points worth of mats.
Also 4x the exo projects, and extra 450 storage.

Someone at shd 100 would have 60 scavenging waiting just on the alts

[hallow raptor]

Assuming someone leveled their other 3 characters as soon as they completed wony (shd 1) with their fist character…. Possible, but doubtful.

[rugged stratus]

Well its duplicated. So if it was once a week till all created they would still harvest all the gains.

Early game is where it could help most I feel. Wish I knew early. I was already pretty high shd before I made my first alts. Now I dont even need to run wony, nothing to spend it on other than a build here or there 🤣

But I definitly wouldn't suggest running wony on repeat till at least the levels you mentioned 💯

[blazing timber]

with 33k shd you have too much lmao

[rugged stratus]

I only have 8k left.... on my main 😎

[hallow raptor]

I think you misunderstood. Was speaking about “large” watch point gains. I’m a firm believer that you should level alts as soon as possible for the benefits mentioned above. Was just saying that for bulk points specifically, leveling an alt when at a higher shd level (I deleted characters for this) means more scavenging points….

[rugged stratus]

Totally agree on the large gains 👍

[dusk umbra]

Is there a sokolov concern holster?

[sour mortar]

Yes

[dusk umbra]

I cant craft it and ive been looking for ages

[sour mortar]

Try trageted loot

[dusk umbra]

Is there not a bp for it?

[sour mortar]

Every brand set and gear set have all pieces.

Like gloves, mask, holster, legs, BP and ect

[dusk umbra]

Yeah but i looked in the bp section and i found most brands except for that one

[sour mortar]

For the expertise?

[dusk umbra]

What?

Just to craft it

[sour mortar]

Mmm 🤔

[dusk umbra]

It wasnt even locked it was just non existent

[sour mortar]

Try at the bottom where the gear and brand sets are at.

Idk atm, I’m tryna think, I’m at work rn.

[hallow raptor]

Not all…. Some brand sets and gear set don’t have blueprints for every piece….

[hallow raptor]

No blueprint for sokolov holster, also no blueprint for sokolov mask or backpack.

[hallow raptor]

Like there is no blueprints for grupo mask or backpack….

[solemn sandal]

What are the chances of me getting a max rolled chd gear mod on challenging in cd is it possible?

[plucky mesa]

It is, but it's rng

[solemn sandal]

does it have better chances at heroic?

[plucky mesa]

I've heard that challenging countdown gives heroic lvl loot, so if that's the case then no. But the best way is probably legendary content.

[rugged stratus]

GG @solemn sandal , was good running into you 👍

[solemn sandal]

GG @rugged stratus it was great meeting you!

[solemn sandal]

Thanks for the info appreciate it!

[narrow kraken]

ok thx, i already turned 2fa on

[worldly fjord]

does striker holster not have a blueprint?

i think i missed the blueprint in season 1, was it not added into general loot pool?

[hallow raptor]

No blueprint for striker holster.

There are only blueprints for mask, backpack, gloves and knees when it comes to striker

[worldly fjord]

so no holster and chest, got it

[bold anchor]

Can we give friend referal to a different console. I am pc and my brother is xbox so can I give him a referal? or does it only work on same systems?

[inner tendon]

There's no crossplay between platforms (so xbox, pc and ps all play separately), so unfortunately; no.

[bold anchor]

thx

[worldly fjord]

should i have rate of fire on my rock n roll if i only use it to stack up for striker?

[blazing timber]

i would go dttoc

[main briar]

i'd still go with dttooc tbh. lots of people seem to discount the value of the aa-12 for raw damage when using striker and only view it as a stacking tool, but like ... for close range targets, it absolutely just deletes whatever you're looking at. legendary rogues, hunters, chungas, if you can get close they're basically dead already - even with no striker stacks beforehand. in short: if you're in a situation where you have no stacks and need a dangerous target dead right now, the aa-12 is your best bet.

[bold anchor]

what is the best weapon types and skills you should run?

in your opinion

[livid token]

meta is ar, probably run either a shotgun or rifle, then revive hive

[modern sparrow]

One primary damage dealer with a backup shotgun(secondary doesn’t matter), then banshee pulse(probably drone if you’re not gunner) and revive hive

[main briar]

i'm gonna go against the grain here and say riot foam and shield instead of a reviver hive (unless in a raid scenario)

the utility of on-demand cc from riot foam has saved me way more than a reviver ever could

[bold anchor]

so no heavy machine gun?

[main briar]

assuming you mean light instead of heavy (because there are no HMGs in-game as far as i'm aware), the LMG class suffers a bit in relation to the other weapon types

low base damage (and dps, by extension), inability to use it with a shield (not a problem if you aren't running a shield in the first place, but if you are ...), and irritatingly high suppression values all work against it which is why you won't see them recommended nearly as much

[bold anchor]

ahh yeah i have been seeing enemies suppressed more need to get a ar then

[next perch]

Is damage to armor useful in pvp?
Would it strip the other player's armor quicker and thus mow down with ease?

[main briar]

yes

[undone granite]

Do I find the d50 pistol on countdown?

[worldly fjord]

yeah why wouldnt you

[civic lily]

it feels like an exotic drop

[undone granite]

Thnx I got it in countdown first game 😎

[undone granite]

Yep I got the liberty not the d50

[nova granite]

In season 4, will the story DLC be free or paid?

[nimble spruce]

they refused to confirm on the last stream, but I'd assume it will be paid

[nova granite]

Hope it's gonna be free.

[inner tendon]

The only DLC we've had so far is paid, so at a 100% rate of paid, I'd assume paid.

If it's even half the scope of WONY's eventual size, having it free would be a mistake.

[blazing timber]

200% paid

[loud saddle]

I agree 156.8% \o/

🫠

[blazing timber]

you forgot to optimise 👀 need 9999shd and field recon

[loud saddle]

brb, gonna reconfig

I agree 110%, and I'm also poor now.

Just a beginner asking: where can you farm exotics the easiest and best way? 🤔 looking to get more st. Elmo’s 😅

[plucky mesa]

Countdown

[inner tendon]

Petition to rename "Countdown" to "Sesame Street".

[karmic trellis]

Why’s that? 😅

[inner tendon]

@true siren You can handle this one. If I do I'll be using caps.

[civic lily]

💀

[true siren]

sesame street is a fairly popular american learning program, in which a character is named "Elmo"

[inner tendon]

It's actually pretty global, we grew up on it here in Australia too.
but yes, Elmo.

whats the best crit damage mod being dold this week?

[jade hawk]

How long the protection bonus of Hotshot gear set is active ? All the fight ?

[sudden matrix]

10.5% @ clan vendor.

[worldly fjord]

thanks

[sudden matrix]

I'm not sure, most people don't even run 4 pc hotshot. I'm always tempted to say something wildly wrong just so someone shows up to correct me. You might have to just test it yourself tho, although I don't think either way will really impact your gameplay.

[nimble spruce]

pretty sure the bonus armor lasts indefinitely

[dusk umbra]

Anyone know where i can get a bunch of ceramics

[worldly fjord]

which faction drops the ornate leather part for dodge city?

[inner tendon]

Ornate Leather Holster: Acquired from any Heroic(Level 4) Hyena Control Point.
Assuming that's still accurate, haven't checked in a while.
@dusk umbra Outcasts drop Ceramics. If you want to know the rest, check your Resources tab of your menu and it shows what each faction drops which resource.

[dusk umbra]

So would i do a resource convoy from outcasts?

[worldly fjord]

literally says heroic cp

[dusk umbra]

Read it again

[inner tendon]

Any kills on Outcasts work, just kill enough of them and you'll be swimming in Ceramics before too long.

[limber whale]

If you need some amount of ceramics best you can do:

1. grind Solar farm CP (it has dozens of material boxes inside cp area - much more than any other cp/location have). You can do it once per day
2. after 1st point done - just kill any openworld or any mission Outcasts

[worldly fjord]

yeah my bad on that one lol

[dusk umbra]

U good g

[crystal lark]

Im unable to do Eva garcia Manhunt part. It shows that I need to do a Control Point but the Control Point in Federal triangle is Red but it needs to be Yellow. Is there a fix for that

[sudden matrix]

Just do whatever the manhunt has for the first cp and that will start the manhunt.

All yellow after that.

[crystal lark]

cant do the control point on thst area Ive tried reseting manhunt

[dusk umbra]

Wheres the solar farm cp, is it just in one of the outcast reguons?

[crystal lark]

@sudden matrix ive done all Cps this one is the last one

is there a fix

IM DUMB FOUND IT!

omg

[civic lily]

eyeless

[limber whale]

It’s in East Mall region in Washington. Somewhere not far from Capitol Stronghold iirc.

[limber whale]

Just go to that CP daily and you will have a bunch of basic resources bound to. Just be sure you opened all boxes - that location literally has dozens of mats boxes.

[dusk umbra]

Preesh

[wise pasture]

I just did around 1000 M damage on heroic countdown, Is that considered good? Or still lacking?

[civic lily]

What's the best way to farm Perfect Rolled Mods? I tried countdown yesterday and barely got by, only getting 3 after several tries and it's not even the ones i wanted.

[nova granite]

It takes a lot of time to get those mods. If u want it fast do summit on legendary.

[modern sparrow]

play on heroic and pray to RNGesus

[vale kelp]

hello, i hate to ask here but ive looked myself online and cannot figure it out... i have been unable to spawn at least 2 of the hunters... wraith (salute a flag) and midas (do jumping jacks in a pool)... i have tried both of them at least 5 times, always between 9p-5a... all of my directives are turned off, and i have tried different open world difficulties. the fact that it is more than one hunter giving me trouble makes me feel like i am misssing some sort of prerequisite or have some setting or gear that is preventing it? any advice would be appreciated.

[loud saddle]

you don't have st. elmos equipped do you?

[vale kelp]

i don't i have a scorpio equipped and the mop

[frozen wyvern]

How goes. I’m watch level 60~ and I’m running the “standard dps build” - 3x providence, foxes knees, and fenris; st. Elmo’s engine.

I have been running challenging countdowns without too much trouble and some watch lvl 15,000 told me to switch my build as we started.. he was running heartbreaker himself. Is all red dps bad for countdown?

[fallow inlet]

Just keep running what your running only question what skills are you running

[frozen wyvern]

Revive hive and crusader shield - no turrets or mines to be hacked

[fallow inlet]

Yup your fine

If you wanna have wierd fun run an all red fi build

[obtuse dust]

Why can’t I do the manhunt bounty?

[teal fulcrum]

Can regulus drop from a boss in iron horse?

no, regulus is project only and requires a few fresh runs for the mats needed afaik

[regal summit]

Regulus can drop from bosses in IH, but it's a super low chance

[rugged stratus]

does project need to be completed first?

[regal summit]

I am not sure if you need to have the project completed for it to happen. Truth is that it happens so rarely that we don't really have reliable information on that

Like it happens once in hundreds of runs. So it would be a crazy coincidence for someone who hasn't completed the project yet to pull one, if it is possible.

I've had had an ftc on DH who pulled their EB from Boomer, so I know that that's possible

[rugged stratus]

eb isnt project related tho. but either way regulus drop is new to me. was not aware 👍

[regal summit]

You can actually share the reg if it drops from a boss which is really cool

[nova granite]

If i get White Death with Steady talent, can i recalibrate it to Determined talent?

I'm talking about talent. Not attribute.

[rugged stratus]

yes, white death can recal to any talent

youll want to make sure it has dttooc or dta as 3rd attr for best results

[nova granite]

Where is the best place 2 get WD?

[rugged stratus]

probably countdown. lots of named drops in cd. just target snipers

[nova granite]

Hmm. Trageted loot to MMR

Thank you

[rugged stratus]

yeah mmr, itll drop anywhere else as well. just more named drops in cd

[nova granite]

i will try cd

its faster there i suppose

[civic lily]

cd gives you God rolled named items by accident

[nova granite]

😂

[worldly fjord]

just how far should i stand from the spawn location so i can have the black tusk guys spawn? (for dodge city project)

[nova granite]

Somebody pls give a fix for this

[upper granite]

Anybody home?

[wintry cave]

what is this weeks stuff, new target or is that another week?

[charred river]

The last target came out last week and the season’s not over.

[sudden matrix]

There is one more league and the golden bullet GE after that. Like 5 weeks left of the season.

[craggy nova]

Why can't i slot brazos chest into appearence slot of another chest piece? Is it unobtainable? I have two brazos chest pieces already

[digital chasm]

Have a non pc question for console owners

Does THX certified game mode worth turning on?

It looks like shit

[nova granite]

I think CD is the best act 2 lvl up expertise. It gives everything needed 2 max the expertise.

[digital chasm]

CD?

[nova granite]

Countdown

[digital chasm]

Chal or Heroic?

[nova granite]

Heroic

[fallow inlet]

@obtuse dust did you talk to wally at the castlebto start it

[blazing timber]

hi saph

[fallow inlet]

@regal summit you only get regulus from project gotta collect parts ,but you can get ravenous from boss drops

Hey Local, Gogamer, Souless

[rugged stratus]

good afternoon Saph

[wise pasture]

Do I have to complete IH on normal or discovery to get the regulus project?

[sudden matrix]

Normal and it's gonna take multiple resets to get to the regulus.

Reset day is Tuesday btw.

[wise pasture]

Damn.... so no matchmaking.... can it be done solo?

[sudden matrix]

No. There are LFG and FTC discords where you can get help doing the runs and learn it as well.

[main briar]

so is boomerang actually just regular old additive wd? i spent so long thinking it was an amplifier wtf

[sudden matrix]

Well not sure if this will help but in the big spreadsheet (you can find it pinned in #td2-build-advice) there is a column on the end that tells you the multiplier group. Everyone is confused by all the talents because of poor wording tho.

[tribal steppe]

With the st elmos gun, since its still in the season pass, can i get it in any targeted loot places or not yet?

[foggy needle]

iirc its not in target loot, but it is in exotic caches after you get it from season track.

[hasty glacier]

After being the key word

[tribal steppe]

But you have to get it in the season track first

[hasty glacier]

Yes

[tribal steppe]

Damnit ok

[hasty glacier]

Still have like six weeks til season end…you can do it!

[tribal steppe]

More i cant do the grind as real life beckons

[sudden matrix]

TU 18.3 patch notes.

[tribal steppe]

Wait

So i CAN get the actual gun in targeted loot tables???

Or not?

[dull condor]

I got a second one earlier today after the one from the season pass

[foggy needle]

ah okay i stand corrected. i was going off memory

[tribal steppe]

So its season pass first

[foggy needle]

they are both in the target loot pool AFTER you get them from this season track 1st (need to own the blueprint which you get indirectly from season track 1st)

[tribal steppe]

Daamn ok then

Welp are there any new assault rifles or dmrs i could run these days that are good? Havent been back since iron horse got released

Got the ravenous already and eagle bearer

[sudden matrix]

So if you get shared an elmo would you be able to get the reconfig BP from inaya or however you spell her name?

[tribal steppe]

Wai u can get shared an elmo??

[sudden matrix]

Yeah if you are in a game with someone and it drops for them they can then give it to you.

[tribal steppe]

Maybe i could get one that way without the season pass

[sudden matrix]

Honestly 90 SHD isn't that hard to get.

[tribal steppe]

I cant put too many hours into this game as real life beckons alot

Got like an hour or so now free

[sudden matrix]

Well you can always buy your way thru the season pass.... I don't really suggest it but you can.

[tribal steppe]

A little expensive for 90 SHD

I can get the elite pass tho

[foggy needle]

yes that works. technically you get the blueprint from that one chick, but she only sellsyou the exotic blueprints once you already own the gun (regardless of how you got it).

[rugged stratus]

There was actually someone here that had an elmo drop when they were only season level 42ish.
This was after the update that put it in the loot pool. They were also able to buy the blueprint as well..
So its technically possible to get it early

[main briar]

the update wasn't properly implemented so right now it's actually in the loot pool for everyone regardless of supposed eligibility

[main briar]

this does help, thanks

[bold anchor]

What does the decent mission/simulation give you in terms of loot etc.? I played it and do not know if I did it right?

[loud saddle]

possible rewards are exotic caches, crafting caches, simulation caches, reconstruction caches (contain named item and season 1-4 named blueprint). loot rewards are pretty poor for the mode. there's no real way to "do it wrong" per say, most people either go at it to defeat nemesis and rinse/repeat on a new run for exotic caches and chance at reconstruction cache. or they poop bucket it and try to last as long as possible and keep going until they eventually die.

[craggy nova]

Can anyone check if brazos pieces are available for using in appearance slots?

I don't have the transmogs of the set even with it in my inventory

[solemn sandal]

Is any of the LMGs worth keeping?

[bold anchor]

How do you find nemesis and can you only vs nemesis one time on per character?

[main briar]

just checked and brazos is showing up for tmog for me

[craggy nova]

Thanks you!!

Now i know what to do

[main briar]

at the very least, in the mask, holster, and chest slots, i didn't bother checking any other slots

[earnest zealot]

what is the fastest way to level up the season pass?

[narrow kraken]

public execution grind lmao

[earnest zealot]

ah okie

[narrow kraken]

i went from 1-100 in like 14 hours of game time

[earnest zealot]

dang

[narrow kraken]

it wouldve been faster too but i only played on hard at the time

[earnest zealot]

whelp I know what I'm farming here in a bit

[earnest zealot]

how quick would it be on heroic?

[loud saddle]

No, you can get to the nemesis in descent as many times as you want but only once per run. When you play descent you have a gage, "nemesis heat" and every room you do adds a % to the gage. Harder rooms add less, easier rooms add more. Once you reach 100% you will face the nemesis after completing your current loop.

[narrow kraken]

youd level up every single time you finish a public execution lol

[narrow kraken]

if you did public executions on heroic with all directives, youd get like over 800k xp per run

[loud saddle]

🤔

Think you might have them mixed up with a different activity

[heavy briar]

all directives is ass ngl

[loud saddle]

Only open world activities that would grant you a level from a single run with all directives (not including kill xp) would be control points and blockades. Bounties are close, and kill xp might push you over but not by the activity itself.

[narrow kraken]

true

[heavy briar]

for ranking up, i'll just do CD because i also get an exotic cache every one or two runs and a shitton of loot

[narrow kraken]

i got the exact xp numbers mixed up, but i swear the public executions are the most efficient pure xp method. just a bit boring lol

[loud saddle]

Most efficient i can agree with, that's how i did the apparel event. There is one more method that's a bit more efficient if duoing but mind numbingly boring so nope. Public executions my go to for sure.

Me and a buddy grabbed full yellow builds with decoys and ran a few supply drops (i had a clear map) and each drop only took like 20 seconds to clear but it was so dang boring and after like 8 drops it was like nope... I'm done. Brain was already turning to mush, lmfao.

[main briar]

i wonder which would be quicker out of spamming the sleeping giant cp vs. lincoln memorial

[inner tendon]

It depends on your individual skill level and how familiar you are with both.
e.g. why Sleeping Giant over say, another CP? How fast can you finish Lincoln?

[heavy briar]

i'd say lincoln memorial would be one of the fastest ways to level up if you can speesrun it

works best with a HF build imo

[main briar]

assumming someone's just trying to complete, say, an apparel event as fast as possible - and therefore has no compunctions with cheesing the hell out of things - sleeping giant can be done with all directives as if they weren't active using a broken determined/hh sniper setup, and since they're all outcasts you'd never be wasting headhunter on something without a head (or a protected head). with lincoln, on the other hand, directives might pose a more substantial issue

[inner tendon]

Anything can be done with no thought using Determined, that's kind of a moot point.

[main briar]

oh nevermind i just took another look at the chart above. yeah assuming massive abuse of cheese sleeping giant would be more efficient

well, the point was what would be the most efficient exp gain

like, i'm not going to suggest someone abuse determined or farm exp for ordinary play, but if someone just wants to get an apparel event done and over with as fast as possible? then that becomes pertinent info

[inner tendon]

For pure efficiency, what really matters is that you complete an activity as fast as possible, familiarity is a big part of that.
e.g. the CP can vary wildly. Personally? Riverside Gas Station and the Eastern navy base.

[main briar]

aren't those a bit farther from fast travel points?

[inner tendon]

It depends on what CP's you own and what routes you take.
And some CP's just have terrible NPC spawning locations, or the friendlies get stuck, like that one alleyway.

I think I'm getting confused here, which is sleeping giant again?

[main briar]

yeah ivy tunnel has always been terrible with that in my experience. the reinforcements get lost and then you wind up having to spend an eon searching for them so you can play escort mission just to get them to the cp

[loud saddle]

sleeping giant is the one just NE of potamac event center... the one directly south of the overgrowth CP IIRC

[main briar]

sleeping giant is the one immediately south of the attic safehouse

[loud saddle]

ty, couldn't remember name of that safehouse. XD

[main briar]

i singled out that one as a candidate for most efficient farm because iirc it's like a 15 second jog to get to the cp

[inner tendon]

Oh I thought it was that one.
Yeah NPC's always get stuck in the tunnel/on the main road for me.

[main briar]

huh, sounds like i've been lucky then. after the convoy exp nerf i found myself with like 1 or 2 days to do the entire apparel event last time, couldn't think of anything better so i did the sleeping giant determined cheese and it still took all night - was wondering if there would've been a better way to go about that lol.

not including just starting the apparel event earlier, that is ... i'm terrible with procrastination lmao

[loud saddle]

yeah, public executions was how i did it. 2 "executions" per level , and they're pretty fast...but it's A LOT of fast travelling unless you run an area with a bunch of em close by....I was like a week late to the event as well, laziness kicked in.

[inner tendon]

I've had no working PC since late June, so that's my excuse.

[main briar]

well shit that's rough

[inner tendon]

That is being amended in the very near future, hopefully this week.

gotta love the local postal system.

[slate void]

Do I need all three pieces already, in order for the Nemesis blueprint to drop from Puck?

[inner tendon]

You need 2/3 of the Stronghold pieces, not counting the one from Tidal Basin.

[main briar]

lol. speaking of, last time my pc broke down and i needed a replacement, half the parts wound up damage en route and i needed like 5 exchanges just to get a working setup

was awful. case is still a bit off because eventually i just couldn't be bothered for more exchanges

[slate void]

gotcha now. Thank you

[main briar]

so where do people go to find raid groups nowadays? the raid lfg channels both here and in the community server seem dead af, have people switched to alternate avenues to find groups or is there literally just no one raiding anymore?

[inner tendon]

There's a few alternate servers, but it's important to remember that the bulk of players you'll team up with are in the main US timezones, so to work around that.

I hear a lot about GC rock and teaching raids, maybe try that.

[main briar]

that's the second time i've heard gc rock mentioned, saw a reddit post mentioning it a while back too. i'll probably look into it soon then, ty

[heavy briar]

i would just do Countdown ngl

[heavy briar]

GC Rock is great for raiding

i was raiding like everyday back when i was still active on xbox but i still learned so much from his streams

[earnest zealot]

Which is what like a level and a half?

Roughly?

[narrow kraken]

i was wrong about the xp numbers but you get a lot of xp. its the most efficient way to level in my opinion

[carmine flicker]

1 level is 700k xp

[earnest zealot]

Ah ok cool

[narrow kraken]

just so i didnt get burned out, i did 75 levels one day, then i did the rest at a slower pace the next day lol

[earnest zealot]

what about doing invaded missions with others, are doing those worth it?

[blazing timber]

missions are not generally worth that much xp even when speedrunning cause normal events in open world will give more

[earnest zealot]

ah ok

thanks y'all, It's been a while so I'm just now getting back into it

[narrow kraken]

yeah id definitely do them lol

from an efficient farming perspective though, no lol

[earnest zealot]

lol

[nova granite]

Never completed the bounties in NYC except the manhunts. Is this is the reason it shows 83% ?

[dense basalt]

Gcrock and his community are good people got me my first eb long time ago

[dull scarab]

Where do i find the season pass menu?

like i don’t see anywhere to access it

[dense basalt]

Open menu to the right of inventory is seasons

[dull scarab]

it doesn’t show it tho

it only shows progress

[dense basalt]

Then hit triangle to see reward tracker

[dull scarab]

ohhh ok

[dull scarab]

or only shows progression

it*

[tiny vale]

does tactical assessment drop from control point bosses?

[blazing timber]

yes only for that faction

[tribal steppe]

With crit chance, ive heard people say the max is 60%, is it not worth going higher or no?

[inner tendon]

60% is the hard cap, yes.
It's better to be 55-60 than slightly over.

[tribal steppe]

So does it just outright not count anything above 60%?

Thats wat u mean by hard cap right?

[inner tendon]

Yep above 60% any chc (crit chance) is wasted.

It's best to make sure that your gun has all chc mods on it, (except for the magazine which should be +rounds)
then your attributes.
Don't put crit chance mods on your gear, they're not worth missing out on crit damage (chd).

[stuck temple]

yo weird quesiton.
what can I do with these? I'm lvl 40 now but I can't destroy these or anything and I'm not sure how to get them to lvl 40

[sudden matrix]

Can you recalibrate them in the bench to bring them up to your level?

[stuck temple]

They don't show up under the Recalibation station tab, nor the expertise due to lvl being too low.
they also don't let me reconfigure

[vivid tiger]

Can you get the Nemesis BP without having the other parts?

[civic lily]

you can get 2 parts from tidal and then any stronghold

which should allow u to get the blue print

[carmine flicker]

You need the part from tidal then two more from strongholds before the blueprint will drop. To craft it you need all three parts from the strongholds

[civic lily]

RIP

[heavy briar]

you need two parts

[vivid tiger]

Can I get the 2 parts today and get the BP?

[heavy briar]

one more before blueprint i think

[heavy briar]

yes, should work

[inner tendon]

It's been a while since I've done the project (actually almost 3 years now in full) but does the Tidal Basin part count? Since you still need 3 more parts to craft it. 4 in total, plus the BP.

[vivid tiger]

If it’s all able to be done today I’m about to start

[inner tendon]

From what I recall, it's not. But if I'm wrong then hey, enjoy the BP.

[heavy briar]

i think some guy here had only the tidal basin and wanted to get the bp and it didnt work so he got the part from a stronghold and got the bp after

[inner tendon]

So that would mean you need 1/3 of those other parts, not 2.

Scope (Tidal), then Barrel, Bolt, and Stock.

[heavy briar]

i think you need 2 parts, tidal basin + one other

[plucky mesa]

When can we get an exotic that let's us go over the crit cap??? Obviously needs some sort of balance so it's not OP. But I'd love to be at 100% crit chance for 30 seconds, with a cooldown or something...

[inner tendon]

Diamondback, technically.

[vivid tiger]

I thought they all had to be invaded missions but if they don’t the only invaded you need is grand Washington o should be able to get it

[plucky mesa]

I meant a good exotic

[inner tendon]

Hey be nice, you're going to make the grand total of 3 people who like Diamondback cry.

last time I equipped it, it crashed my game. I kid you not.

[plucky mesa]

Lol

[inner tendon]

You absolutely need more than the 1 part (from Tidal Basin) to get the BP

Manning Zoo Invaded gives you a single random piece out of the 3 remaining that you don't have yet. Can not repeat it for more.

[vivid tiger]

So it’s not possible today you’re saying

[inner tendon]

Complete tidal to get the scope, then complete one invaded stronghold, then try GWH on invaded.
See if it works.

[blazing timber]

you can try and find out

[inner tendon]

The very first named enemy in GWH drops it, so its a quick test.

[blazing timber]

do on normal

with hh determined

[inner tendon]

Challenging is always a better idea, easier to get used to it as your "lowest possible difficulty" that way.
There's no reason to see purple guns again.

[vivid tiger]

@rugged stratus I feel like you’d have the answer I’m looking for lol

[rugged stratus]

If you dont already have the parts gwh hotel probably wont drop bp. It has to be first run, and getting to tidal to start nemesis you'll have to go through all the missions and dua.
Probably wont get the dua piece either for same reason

Unfortunately. I would love to be wrong though

[vivid tiger]

I’ll try and post in a bit and we’ll have our answer

[rugged stratus]

Nice let me know 👍

[inner tendon]

I'm almost certain that you can get a part from Tidal and a Stronghold in the same week.

I do recall getting the Capitol Stronghold part week 1, but that was....a while ago now.

wow, 4 years.

[civic lily]

🗿

[rugged stratus]

I was going through this with another. Also the reason I finally got the project* done 😅 . After tidal they couldn't get a part from manning since it wasnt first run

[inner tendon]

Oh that's different then.
Try it on an alternate character where the Nemesis isn't in the stash/ that char and you can get a fresh Adrestia.

[civic lily]

they sold adrestia?

rip

[rugged stratus]

Now I wonder if the person needing the part goes on another agents first runs maybe getting the parts to drop.

[vivid tiger]

i've got 2 charcters

im booting game now

[inner tendon]

I actually tried this on a char that had used a Nemesis from the stash before.
I ran Tidal after moving it over to another char, got the scope again.

no word on the other parts, but if step 1 works....

fun fact: the adrestia is terrible.

[rugged stratus]

Yeah you should be able to get adresia any first run if nem is on another agent and no parts in inventory

[blazing timber]

yes you can get regulus the same way in raid if you have a. blueprint you can get parts again and craft it again

[worldly fjord]

I went out of my way to get one, even after i got my nemesis

Just for my collection

[inner tendon]

That was the plan with re-getting it for me too.

Managed to get some good stats too.

[worldly fjord]

The only thing i dont have is the enforcer, how do i buy it?

[blazing timber]

fuck i deconstructed mine need to farm it again

[rugged stratus]

I just held mine for a while to get it proficient*, then decon that pos 🤣

[blazing timber]

i was deconstructing all my gear i went with the flow and deconstructed it with a bunch of other items

[vivid tiger]

I can’t run Tidal without completing GWH first

Nvm

[worldly fjord]

Thats why you mark things as favorite lol

Makes it easier to get rid of junk, press x to open the menu and then mark all as junk

[blazing timber]

i use the vendor as menu

just deconstructed 2 fi pcs with chc yesterday and i was farming for them 🤣 🤣

[worldly fjord]

Yikes

[nimble spruce]

Have to pay real money, although I'm not 100% sure if it's still available in the store

[blazing timber]

yeah

you get it with ultimate edition afaik

[worldly fjord]

Yeah i think it was pre ordering wony but i dunno either

[blazing timber]

that's how i got mine

[nimble spruce]

Originally it was pre order only but it has been available in ultimate edition or some other random weapon pack more recently

[vivid tiger]

The video I just watched says I just need the part from tidal and another from a stronghold and I can get the BP

So I’ll be able to get BP today and farm target loot is what it seems like

[nimble spruce]

Yeah that sounds about right

You can toggle GWH and DUA back to invaded mode after you've got the first part from tidal

[vivid tiger]

Toggle invaded?

i only have the option to do GWH on invaded

i need to do that to even have access to DUA

[nimble spruce]

Yes, but after you've done it you'll find it reverts to non-invaded, so to go back this week you'll then need to toggle mission mode from the mission options

[vivid tiger]

so i can run it twice on invaded

[blazing timber]

infinite times

[heavy briar]

seems like i was right once again

[vivid tiger]

So i should be running this on my second character techinaccly since its not going to drop if i rerun tidal and DUA

i dont think i can do it all on one character since i need the other sniper from tidal for parts to drops from DUA

[worldly fjord]

Can you only get the blueprint from GW hotel after you get the 3 parts from strongholds, or at anytime?

[vivid tiger]

you just need the one from tidal and one from another invaded stronghold

I’m wondering if I’ll have to do it on 2 characters since I’ll have to rerun missions to get back to DUA after completing Tidal

I don’t know if part will drop after the first completion

[worldly fjord]

Tidal is the first step, no questions about that.
For the next phase of the project, do you have to get the 3 stronghold parts before youre allowed to get the blueprint, or you can get the blueprint while not having all the stronghold parts?

[nimble spruce]

You only need two parts (one from tidal and one other) before the blueprint will drop

[vivid tiger]

According to the video I watched you need the 1 part from the sniper on tidal And one more part from a invaded stronghold to get the BP. I just don’t know if I can rerun DUA is my concern

[worldly fjord]

Gotcha thanks

[nimble spruce]

After running tidal, head back to DUA and you will be able to toggle it back to invaded to run it again, then you can do the same thing with GWH

[vivid tiger]

1 mission from DUA

[rugged stratus]

Yeah definitly only need tidal piece and an other piece for blueprint. I will be very interested to know if second runs drop the pieces/bp. Sceptical it wont though

[vivid tiger]

That’s what I’m trying to figure out. If 2nd run doesn’t then even me running on a second character won’t matter

Will be stuck waiting for GWH to come back.

[rugged stratus]

You'll know for sure when you get the tidal piece. Once you switch mode back to invaded with the other missions itll show the nemesis piece as one of the awards for completion if its gonna drop

[vivid tiger]

omw to tidal

[nova granite]

How i get Nemesis sniper?

[sudden matrix]

You know tidals part is not dropped by the boss right? You need to get a key card to open a gun box then decon it, it's called andrestia SR1, that'll give you the tally which starts your nem project.

[vivid tiger]

yes I'm aware

[sudden matrix]

Just making sure.

[rugged stratus]

Breakdown tidal basin named mmr as souless just mentioned,

Then complete each stronghold as its invaded for the other pieces. Invaded Manning gives a random piece you're missing.
@ 2 pieces you can get the blueprint from invaded GWH (invaded this week)

[vivid tiger]

you just need 2/4 not 3/4, the piece from MMR and a piece from Invaded Stronghold. I should be able to rerun DUA after this Tidal is done then do GWH

just got keycard

[vivid tiger]

dont see anything under reward items for DUA invaded

RIP

[green belfry]

Hey guys

quick question. i am at the grand washington hotel hunter spawn and did the puzzle

but he is not spawning in. what do i do ??

[fallow inlet]

Hey Local

[rugged stratus]

Good afternoon Saph

[vivid tiger]

gonna try rerunning DUA just to see

[rugged stratus]

Its definitly worth a shot. It may also be worth running them on another person's session that hasnt completed just in case

[green belfry]

aite ill try it on my own session first

thanks guys 🙂

any difficulty it must be on ?

[rugged stratus]

Not sure about the hunter you're after. Nothingbutskillz has solid guides on youtube for each hunter. Itll give location , actions needed and possible time of day restrictions 👍

[vivid tiger]

@rugged stratus part dropped!!

confirmed

[rugged stratus]

Very nice. Indeed confirmed 👍

Now get that bp

[vivid tiger]

should just have to run GWH now

[rugged stratus]

As long as you get the bp itll just be 2 more invaded cycles then 🤞

[vivid tiger]

if I get BP i can just target loot in the meantime

drops from first named on GWH?

[rugged stratus]

I'm not sure which named on gwh. Kill em all 😆

[nimble spruce]

yeah, the first one 'Puck' in the ground floor foyer area

[vivid tiger]

Just got BP

EZ PZ

[rugged stratus]

Very cool. Confirmed I was wrong and can indeed go backwards.
This is a great week for anyone that hasnt started nemesis

[vivid tiger]

Indeed, heard of people waiting weeks for GWH

[rugged stratus]

Yeah. That's usually the sticking point

[earnest zealot]

is there any spot or good way to get protection from elites mods?

[sudden matrix]

11% PFE at clan vendor. I know it's not 13% but hey it's something to fill your pockets with currently.

[earnest zealot]

true

[earnest zealot]

I can always upgrade it right?

[worldly fjord]

cant optimize mods

[earnest zealot]

dang

would farming mods in the summit be worth it?

[sudden matrix]

I mean you can yeah, legendary is preferred as it's the best chance at perfect mods but whatever you need these PFE mods for 11% will be just fine until you get some better ones later. Also 13% PFE mods are like unicorns,

[narrow kraken]

What's a good way to farm up 20 bleeding hostile deaths?

[golden geode]

any oone here do league runs

[worldly fjord]

ridgeway chest piece, or bleed ammo

[blazing timber]

lol pfe 13% requires lootcifer to be happy my friend with 3000hrs don't have one

[sudden matrix]

Yeah I think I only have one 13% PFE, I did buy like 8 12% PFE a few weeks ago at the clan vendor just to make sure I had enough.

[blazing timber]

only have 2

need 6pcs

[sudden matrix]

You can slot in 7 gear mods tho.

[sudden matrix]

Don't forget about the chillout mask.

[civic lily]

7 miracles

good luck

[sudden matrix]

Don't forget enough for your second or even third character!

[civic lily]

what is the cap for pfe?

nvm

[worldly fjord]

80%

[blazing timber]

6*13=78 enough 80is cap anyway

[sudden matrix]

So you could use 7 11% then....

[worldly fjord]

you can have up to 4 characters so thats a total of 4x6=24 mods you need

[sudden matrix]

Maybe we should have asked the guy what he was gonna use PFE mods for anyway. Just a thought.

[loud saddle]

getting ready to slap that russian lady around when the chance comes. lol

[civic lily]

Immortality obviously

[sudden matrix]

lol yeah only like 2 builds I know that really use PFE anyway and it's just boss 4 IH tanks.

[wispy merlin]

inb4 she's coded like a normal enemy with tons of hp like BT legendary turrets

[loud saddle]

nb4 trained bears come and smack US around on the battle field. lol

[civic lily]

nb4 when pawn to c3

[sudden matrix]

First battle part super easy and she runs off thru a door.... A huge door then opens and she is inside a mech, somehow we have a mech now, wait is this just armored core? Where am I even at right now?

[loud saddle]

she comes out in a yaeger, lol. or however you spell it....

[civic lily]

First she has to shock the whole map before running thru the door

[tame basin]

I deconstruct mine 13% because I don't use them .https://youtu.be/MZUI3Mq8Y4E

[rare heron]

need 2 hunter kills for ridgeways pride project, where's the best place to find them in D2?

[main briar]

ask around for a floor 100 checkpoint in summit

[heavy briar]

you can either kill hunters in the open world or in summit level 100

[thorn hedge]

or the one on schaeffers manhunt mission

[heavy briar]

thats slower tho

[thorn hedge]

summit 100 isnt particularly quick either lol

[heavy briar]

btw how do i unlock the previous manhunt missions cause i forgot

[thorn hedge]

season level up

[heavy briar]

if you find someone with a lvl 100 char it is

easiest would be open world

[thorn hedge]

If*

[thorn hedge]

Assuming you don't have them all done*

[heavy briar]

he clearly doesnt tho

[thorn hedge]

Says who

[heavy briar]

there are plenty of people just running lvl 100

[heavy briar]

if he asks where he can find hunters

he probably doesnt know

[thorn hedge]

If you do all the spawns it's pretty tricky to find so I mean

[rare heron]

correct, have never done the hunters masks

[thorn hedge]

Aight so yeah do those spawns

[rare heron]

yeah watching vids on it now

[main briar]

wouldn't it still just be faster to do schaeffer's manhunt? all the hunter puzzles require convoluted steps and crap while schaeffer's is just partway through a single mission

[heavy briar]

not all of them and it is better to do the open world ones because then he gets masks and ivory keys

[dusty lark]

https://i.imgur.com/jg0MzIE.png

what is the oranage icon on punchy?

[carmine flicker]

He’s using a hardcore character. One life mode

[dusty lark]

ty

[marble leaf]

sorry if this is a dumb questions but how do people change their icons from the specialization icon in the social menu like this?

[rugged stratus]

go past 1000 and it changes quite a bit on its own. after 9000 it doesnt change anymore

final form

[marble leaf]

that's sick thanks

[blazing timber]

skulls are funny imo

[rugged stratus]

oh damn, how did i miss yaahl gear on sale at the clan vendor!
great time to convert some SHD > cash and buy up a bunch for crafting mats!

[blazing timber]

yeah i already got a yahl maks with haz and skill dmg

[rugged stratus]

how many yaahl mats you have left in inventory?

[blazing timber]

0

had 35 used them all

was crafting for fun didn't want what i got

but it is rare as fuck so i will keep it

[rugged stratus]

buy up some bags to break for them. you got the shd level to stock up ezpz

only need 99 more XD

[boreal nexus]

[blazing timber]

yeah let me login with alt

it has empty spaces

[blazing timber]

gacha game inventory management >> div2 inventory management

[vivid tiger]

Been farming target loot for Nemesis since yesterday and still haven’t got it. I have the BP I was under assumption it went into your loot pool after that even if it hadn’t been crafted yet

[wispy merlin]

just unlucky

[sudden matrix]

It's also just a super low chance to get an exotic.

[blazing timber]

buy caches very high chance from them

how many exo we have in caches

[worldly fjord]

these values are for killing NPCs, right? not for bosses?

[sudden matrix]

As far as I know it's the chance an item has to roll exotic. TL has it's own chances and goes up with directives and enemy type with named being 100% chance at TL.

[rugged stratus]

It wont drop until project is complete though. I have had a number drop in cd TL as well as caches after project. None before when I had bp

[worldly fjord]

the blueprint in question has to be the reconfiguration blueprint i think. you can only get it after the nemesis itself has been crafted

[blazing timber]

find someone who has the nemiss and run cd with them that's the best nemisis farming method

[plucky mesa]

I once got a double big horn drop on a legendary stronghold. I thought I was seeing things!

[sudden matrix]

Yeah one night I got like 7 exotics all within 3 hours from open world activities. Not often something like that happens.

[plucky mesa]

I wonder what the chances of that are actually

[sudden matrix]

Super smol

[blazing timber]

happened with me too got like 7 chameleon in 24hrs

[tame basin]

When bighorn came I got 1 on every legendary mission. Now I get 1 in 20 missions

[earnest zealot]

Question; where/what is the best place/ way to get polycarbonate?

[civic lily]

not outcasts and black tusk

[muted meteor]

What is sokolov today?

[rugged stratus]

Solar farm cp and surrounding has a bit of everything .

[earnest zealot]

awesome, thank you

[rugged stratus]

It's a good area daily. Also my in general has a lot of mats all over the place 👍

[earnest zealot]

fair enough

polycarbonate is like the only material I always run out of

[sudden matrix]

I'm not seeing it anywhere today.

[muted meteor]

Oh god I have to do the summit

[earnest zealot]

is there a faster way to get a Kingbreaker (named Assault rifle) and rock n roll (named shotgun) other than farming for named loot caches?

[muted meteor]

Rock n roll from conflict innit?

[earnest zealot]

idk, that's why I'm asking lol

[muted meteor]

Yeah it's from comflict

[sudden matrix]

You don't need rock n roll btw.

[earnest zealot]

oh?

[muted meteor]

Is he using striker?

[sudden matrix]

If you "want" it all good but really it's not needed for any build.

[earnest zealot]

using heartbreaker and coyote mask for dps tank build yes

[earnest zealot]

gotcha

[sudden matrix]

ACS-12 will stack just as well as RNR

[muted meteor]

if ur not using striker there's no point for a rock n roll

Lol

[earnest zealot]

ok cool

[sudden matrix]

If you can't get your stacks from 20 acs rounds you are probably trying to snipe or running the chest which isn't really needed anyway.

[muted meteor]

Lol

[earnest zealot]

gotcha, thanks y'all

[golden geode]

any one haveing issues with decent giveing them the area and not telling them it is an area

[loud saddle]

?

[golden geode]

yes

[rugged stratus]

best thing to do with these 🤣

[sudden matrix]

Awww yis muthafuckin exo components.

[rugged stratus]

needs them always

[earnest zealot]

Question; can I get the st elmo's engine from an exotic cache even if I haven't unlocked it in the season pass thingy?

[golden geode]

no its added to your loot pool when got in the season

[earnest zealot]

ah ok

[inner tendon]

Alternatively: it's also added to the Loot Pool once the next Season starts.

[earnest zealot]

is that how the doctor home rifle is right now then?

[open hollow]

How do I get to this collectable?

[rugged stratus]

Technically you can before its unlocked. the recent patch adding it into the pool. although it's not supposed to be available until season unlock I did see someone have it drop then they were level 42ish for the season. They were able to buy the bp after as well from the crafting lady.

[earnest zealot]

huh interesting

[rugged stratus]

Yeah, definitly not supposed to. Not the first time something drops when not supposed to tho 👍

[earnest zealot]

hmm

[loud saddle]

IIRC that's part of the little quarantined area isn't it? you enter that building and do a little bit of puzzle back and forth with keys and doors and take an elevator to the top floor. if it's the one I'm thinking of....

[golden geode]

yes its definately that one in his screenshot

[heavy briar]

gimme chameleon bro

i need it

and for some reason i got no heroic bounties on my map

[earnest zealot]

how do you get the Sacrum Imperium exotic?

[inner tendon]

Same as 90% of loot in div2:

Then either Directives or Countdown.```

[earnest zealot]

gotcha

[inner tendon]

Any Bounty works, as it's a drop from the Named Enemy, not just high tier ones.
And if you need more, saving both people at Executions gives you a new bounty.

[worldly fjord]

you can also get a bounty from "hostage rescue" activities (green handcuff color). theyre more rare than pub executions but you dont have to worry about keeping anybody alive since the hostage is locked up in a room

[inner tendon]

Aye, for those to spawn more frequently, just fully control all CP's around an area.

[rugged stratus]

They both dropped from countdown exotic caches. 😅

[heavy briar]

ik, but i hate bounties

[heavy briar]

i just get shit from thise cashes

only good things i got were mantis and scorpio

and i opened over 30

[rugged stratus]

I been stocking up components . Been seeing fairly regular tl drops as well in cd

But I target snipers. easy drops, it's a pretty small TL pool

[sudden matrix]

Like a wony run?

[inner tendon]

@narrow kraken You've been told where to post, continuing to spam the question in random channels will result in an official warning.
Cut it out.

[narrow kraken]

maybe I missedclicked the section sorry

[narrow kraken]

What's the best mod to use for the burn chem launcher? Skill haste?

[rugged stratus]

Haste for sure for gear mods. If already close to 100% , could consider pfe .
If you're talking the mods in the chem launcher : extra chem ammo > damage > haste

[narrow kraken]

Thanks

[rare heron]

does ACS-12 have a blueprint?

[rugged stratus]

i dont have one in my crafting bench. idk if it was ever available tho

[rare heron]

one that eludes me also, thinking there isn't one

[vivid tiger]

carbine 7 or police m4

[rare heron]

i prefer the carbine 7

[vivid tiger]

let me know if you're willing to TL Nem for me and I'll target whatever you need.

[rugged stratus]

Add me. Same ign as here. Wont be tonight, but I'll help soon 👍

[vivid tiger]

got ya, thank ya

[orchid tiger]

is the Enforcer drops in DZ a rumors (again)?

[blazing timber]

yeah a rumor it is part of ultimate edition of the game

[orchid tiger]

maybe not adding it to loot pool is a bug too🥺

[blazing timber]

no idts it is a weapon that has to be bought

it is a pretty solid shotgun i am using it on my hf dps build and i don't reload mostly

[earnest scroll]

It's missing dttoc though no?

[inner tendon]

It's not a make-or-break stat when the talent is that good.
Although there's nothing stopping you from just using a regular one with dtooc on.
The perfect version of the Talent has the added benefit of only needing 2 kills to proc it, not 3.

[blazing timber]

i agree the talent compensates for 10% dttoc 2vs 3 kills is like saving few bullets and not going to reload

same with scorpio and regulus both don't have dttoc but are great weapons

cause their talent and stats compensates for it

[inner tendon]

I do still prefer the m870's higher base damage, and I have the Enforcer.
So if you don't, it's not a big loss.

[blazing timber]

M870 i use it for one shot mostly cause of the low mag and without hh difficult to proc pummel without reload unless enemies are red or purple

[keen grove]

how does week 1 and 2 of the league work? does it start over with new rewards?

[blazing timber]

no just bonus xp

[inner tendon]

tl;dr for the Leages.
You keep the amount of total points you've earned, but the counter for each activity is reset so you can earn more.
And since you only need 60 total to max it out, finishing 3 missions on rank 10 twice is enough to get the last one.
still worth farming though, since the GE vendor sells caches for "stars".

[keen grove]

oh dope ty. was not looking forward to burning 500 true sons 😅

[blazing timber]

f*k i forgot to burn 10 true sons 490/500

[marble leaf]

is the regulus quest rng with the gear set drops? i only got one of the two chest pieces to drop and im wondering if i accidentally deleted one or i was just unlucky

and also can i rerun them this week for a chance to get the exclusive gear pieces

[blazing timber]

no it is gurantedd

[marble leaf]

i still should be good next week though right because i can get the pieces there an still make progress on the next projects?

[blazing timber]

which chest are you talking about if it's the fi chest or foundry you can farm it in open world

[marble leaf]

future chest n backpack and foundry backpack

really i thought they were the raid exclusives

[blazing timber]

they are farmable in open world that was about 8-9 months ago when yhey removed their exclusiveness

[marble leaf]

oh shit i did not know that i was stressing lol

[marble leaf]

thanks man

[blazing timber]

np

[rugged stratus]

good thing you only need 250 burns 😅

[tiny stump]

i knocked out all the true sons burns the other day and then the elite cleaners yesterday. kinda a pain

[blazing timber]

lol i checked it again it is 230/250

so 20 to go my bad

[rugged stratus]

stars wont be till next week, golden bullet. cant farm them yet

[swift grail]

how do i get this to go away

[rugged stratus]

go into that project (map> projects> white house sweep) and toggle the track on screen option

[rugged stratus]

👆 forgot to tag

[stark quiver]

when will season 12 end

[inner tendon]

The current one? It's stated explicitly in the post that it'll be October-some time.
You now have all the info anyone in here does.

[stark quiver]

oh ive got a couple months to finish up the manhunt

[blazing timber]

try #lfg-playstation

[slim cairn]

Yep just went there now

My apologies just realised this was for more based questions

[blazing timber]

np i am on pc otherwise would help

[slim cairn]

Wait you can help me?

[blazing timber]

no i am a pc player no crossplay sadly

[slim cairn]

Dang

[blazing timber]

the other icons are just for show so i can access other channels

[slim cairn]

Im just trying to find a ps player who has it unlocked so i could play with them in a ar zone/mission or even just tower and countdown until they got it from a drop or something

[blazing timber]

have you reached season lvl90?

[slim cairn]

Theres no way ill get to 90 before event ends and who knows if ill have to wait till 17.1 till its in loot pool

Nope I’m currently 5

[blazing timber]

you have 4 weeks

even 3 shd/day will get you to it

[slim cairn]

Im old vet on this game and friend told me about St. Elmo so i really wanna have a try at it

[blazing timber]

also try playing on higher difficulty

[blazing timber]

very good ar

[blazing timber]

farm for eclipse gearset and just play hostage rescue and propaganda

[slim cairn]

Yeah but I don’t enjoy solo play to much

[blazing timber]

you can use a mmr determined build

[slim cairn]

Im more or less a hardcore raider or just someone who focuses on pure chaotic boss dps 🤣

[slim cairn]

What does eclipse do again?

[blazing timber]

it makes status spread on kill

sharing is caring

[slim cairn]

Ah so it’s technically skill set

[blazing timber]

check #td2-build-advice and find an ep fire build and farm with it quite easy to get

[golden geode]

any one eles ps4 shut down when they load up a game

[slim cairn]

Nope I’m ps5 sorry can’t help there bud

[golden geode]

just asking and i only havent moved over my self because i mostly play on pc now anyway

[slim cairn]

From what I have heard ps4 is having some problems

Sony being natural sony if you get me

[blazing timber]

and i thought ps platform is very good

[slim cairn]

It is

Better then xbox thats for certain

But it still has its problems

[blazing timber]

yeah nothing is perfect

[slim cairn]

Yup

[narrow kraken]

How do i complete shoot range targets in less than 10 sec

[blazing timber]

go to range and shoot there iirc

[digital chasm]

? What is this

[loud saddle]

a button for a secret

[narrow kraken]

I guess i shoulda specified i cant get it done lol any tips, doing it to technician.

[blazing timber]

can you post a screenshot i forgot what was it exactly

[regal summit]

use regulus and dodge city, or oxidizer

[civic lily]

determined mmr hotshot

easy make

mostly

[regal summit]

explosive sticky might also suffice on lowest difficulty

[blazing timber]

eclipse

fire

[digital chasm]

Can you elaborate

[loud saddle]

I haven't done it myself yet, but there's some buttons scattered around at different locations for a hidden hotel/room thing of sorts. Shoud just be able to google secret hotel and should pop up with all the info IIRC.

[narrow kraken]

How do i use the oxidizer?

[blazing timber]

throw it at the ttk range where there are many targets make sure you are at tier6 skills it's just aim and shoot when the circle is red

[tiny stump]

heres a crazy strong oxi build but its useless for most content other than specific spawn scenarios with a team

[civic lily]

what's on the gloves and foxes?

[tiny stump]

skill damage

[sudden matrix]

Sacrifice version tho...

[tiny stump]

skill damage and skill haste on everything else

[steady terrace]

skill issue

[civic lily]

screw glass cannon

[wispy merlin]

i have the sacrifice version that i had to delete the loadout for

[tiny stump]

i just like the skill efficiency from 3pc empress

[steady terrace]

screw you 😎

[sudden matrix]

lol the times you are using this type of build you aren't being shot at and everything is dead at the door.

[foggy needle]

Combined arms hard to keep always up with oxy spam tbh.

[ionic grail]

Hi. If I create a new Agent. Use my transmog skins from my another agent ?

[tiny stump]

thats true. i often use tech support

[wispy merlin]

yep, tech support is it

[tiny stump]

this shit is just for max ticks

[foggy needle]

go empress tech support and sacrifce chest

[tiny stump]

yeah good plan

[steady terrace]

Why use oxy build though when f10 nerfed

[wispy merlin]

legendary speeds

[foggy needle]

xp nerf only FYI

[steady terrace]

Yea

[foggy needle]

also ideally want to do F90 oxy spam, not f10

[ionic grail]

anyone ?

[steady terrace]

No xp no oxy 🥸

[foggy needle]

summit boss farm = more loot drops then countdown fyi.

but boring AF!!

[wispy merlin]

F10 spamming? you know what else starts with F?

[foggy needle]

??

OH hell naw!

just got it

[wispy merlin]

dammit, no binoculars emoji

this is a big oversight

[steady terrace]

Nuh uh

[sudden matrix]

IH railyard....

[foggy needle]

yea uh

[steady terrace]

[sudden matrix]

That's where I'm using the oxy build.

[steady terrace]

Not everyone lives in america

[sudden matrix]

Not everyone is on the same schedule either.

I worked third shift and lunch was like 8 pm back then.

[steady terrace]

8pm is fine above 9pm is where u cross line

[tiny stump]

yeah my last 2nd shift job was 6pm lunch

[foggy needle]

[tiny stump]

[steady terrace]

Wtf who eats lunch at 6pm . Its tea time

[tiny stump]

i only drink tea that does things to my brain

[wispy merlin]

punch is drunken... punch drunk...

dammit you fixed the typo

[steady terrace]

First lemme get this straight food u eat afternoon is called lunch

Tf is 10am lunch

Isnt it breakfast

[foggy needle]

10am lunch when i start at 5am 😛

[sudden matrix]

Breakfast is first meal of day, literally breaking your fast from the night, lunch is second meal, and dinner is last.

[foggy needle]

breakfast was at 6am for me 😛

[tiny stump]

not unusual

[steady terrace]

Bruh ...at which time u wake up?

[tiny stump]

im not sure i even sleep

[loud saddle]

[blazing timber]

[tiny stump]

i have dreams that feel like they last for days, when only a few hours passed in real time

[steady terrace]

5am is fine as long as u sleep before 11:30 pm

[unborn harness]

The red space suit skinn how do one get that ?

[loud saddle]

[steady terrace]

Why? Binge watch late night?

[tiny stump]

[loud saddle]

sometimes time just flies by and u don't realize it's so late....or sometimes ya just can't fall asleep.

[foggy needle]
