[sudden matrix]

Only a few AOE nuke type things in the game tho, demo, seeker mines, mortar turret, and regulus.

Could always check out the spreadsheet and browse the builds in it. They are up to date and have full explanations. #td2-build-advice message

[rugged stratus]

something different than turret/drone that destroys entire areas?
Eclipse Protocol enters the conversation 😎
you can find a build guide for it in the pinned sheet Souless mentioned

[sudden matrix]

Oh damn tots forgot about that.

[fallow inlet]

Hey Rivens, Gogamer, Nug, Local

[rugged stratus]

good morning Saph

[plucky mesa]

Yea any you like really.

[swift cairn]

Coolio. It sucks HF cant use assaukt rifles. Id 100% rock elmo with this. It isnt great in countdown but anywhere else ive tried it so far the build feels good with challenging and directives at least.

[worldly fjord]

technically you can, you just dont get the 2 piece buff

the 4 piece should work with any guns

[swift cairn]

Yea but wouldnt that make the damage absolute ass if i tried using other weapons? After all im 4 blue 2 red cores

[worldly fjord]

why 4 blue?

[swift cairn]

Read somewhere above when Nug was telling me the setup. The TLDR was basically im sick of either being a one shot and maybe killing fast or tanky but cant do jackall in game and this was the solution.

[worldly fjord]

have you tried memento with it?

[sudden matrix]

Well you can always scale back blues as you improve in the game...

[plucky mesa]

Memento is a must with a crusader shield to make use of those blues

The amount of armour is crazy and the shield is very tanky

[worldly fjord]

plus the bonus armor is huge for staying alive

[swift cairn]

Yeah mementi was part of the setup he gave me.

[swift cairn]

Skills less of an issue and more i dont feel like sweating my ass off to level effectively and the fact i always got "poor connection" in division 2 so im often being shot through cover and walls.

literally only game i seem to have issues with other then wayfinder. And wayfinders just got bad servers

[worldly fjord]

have you tried going to the social menu and pressing "find better server"?

[swift cairn]

Ill try that later. Wasnt aware that it was a thing. If it helps then sweet

[blazing timber]

hi saph

[plucky mesa]

@fallow inlet SAPH!

[worldly fjord]

no hellos for the rest of us i guess

[sudden matrix]

rekt

[blazing timber]

RIP

[worldly fjord]

im gonna go to a corner now and cry

[blazing timber]

far cry 7

[worldly fjord]

you should be banned from the internet for that

[azure obsidian]

Guys, i’m new in game, how can i earn this currency in game? Which mode should i play?

[limber whale]

Countdown

[azure obsidian]

I need to complete the whole event? Yesterday i went out of the event after two simulation but i didn’t receive anything

[worldly fjord]

that is descent

countdown is the 8 player mode in the power plant

[azure obsidian]

Oh, wait

[rugged stratus]

yeah use matchmaking menu. its roughly 15mins a run give or take a few minutes. challenging gives around 150 CD credits a run if you get all the hunters and extract

[azure obsidian]

Which difficulty the average players play? Because i’m on normal and i can hardly find someone on the matchmaking

[limber whale]

Map-matchmaking-countdown-challenging difficulty (don’t go heroic if you’re new).

[rugged stratus]

bring dps, no deployable skills. shield, revive, chem launcher, sticky bomb, and traps ok. rest get hacked and turned on your team

[rugged stratus]

challenging is the easiest to get into, and there is enough people that a new agent or 2 can easily be carried. just follow the group. most people avoid VIP objectives

youll also notice you get a ton of items each run high end and named, with a rare exotic drop. if you go into the map you can also pick your target loot like in summit

[vivid tiger]

What’s up with all the low SHD’s queueing for Heroic CD? I don’t mind a couple low levels so long as they bring DPS builds. But I’ve been seeing a large number of people under level 100 with not up to par builds populating the lobbies. Makes it hard to find a decent game.

[limber whale]

Probably newbie players don’t realize that heroic openworld/missions and heroic cd are not equal…

[vivid tiger]

yeah I get we all started somewhere, just hard to find a game latley

[fresh inlet]

Question guys im stuck between these two weapons so i have tht are the so called Best ar's in the game the Carbine 7 ;has overflow 107.4K total dmg with maxed Core attributes n maxed out dmg to armor, The Famas; i have has 100.9K total dmg basically maxed out core attributes but has Dmg to targets out of cover maxed, n the the talent is Strained .** I also **have a not really close maxed out core n attributes carbine 7 with dmg to targets out of cover can someone explain to me which one i should go with? or whcih one is better?

[vivid tiger]

It all comes to personal prefence, I prefer the Famas personally for PvP.

[fresh inlet]

oh ok thanks

[lime scroll]

Can any one help me out don’t no what to do I am at world tire 1

[foggy needle]

Famas, M4, Carbine 7 and Elmo are all the top ARs but "which one is best" kinda falls down to personal preference tbh. highest dps is famas but less handling then the others, Carbine 7 is best for more ranged play and M4/ Elmo are kinda in the that middle ground of handling and dps, though M4 can out dps elmo. @fresh inlet

you have to continue the story to move through the world tiers (clear the invaded black tusk missions) or if you dont care about the story you could use the DLC booster to skip that and head over to NYC. (full story order is pinned in this channel as well fyi)

[lime scroll]

Thanks

[fresh inlet]

does tht include the eagle Bearer?

n Pyromanic n Police m4?

[wispy merlin]

police m4 is m4 in the list above, eagle bearer is meh, and pyromaniac is just police m4 but with wrong talent

[foggy needle]

eagle Bearer is based off the P416 so, not in that list of "top Ars"

[fresh inlet]

oh ok but wht is better famas with strained or carbine 7 with overflow?

[wispy merlin]

famas strained

[foggy needle]

well 1st overflow is a bad talent. and 2nd its personal preference which of the 2 are better, read the breakdown i posted.

[wispy merlin]

yes even if famas is the best AR on paper if you can't play with it well you might enjoy c7 more

[fierce quest]

#ask-td2-community what discord can i join for PvP?

other than this

[inner tendon]

The non-official division discord has its own LFG, can't hurt to try there. It's called "thedivision" and it's the other big one.

[fierce quest]

thanks

[brazen mountain]

You could put in the effort required to have your OWN (high level SHD) dedicated group who are available when you want them for your countdown run. The choice is yours. 🤔

[swift cairn]

How much money would buying the pass levels fron around 30 to 90 cost?

[inner tendon]

You really don't like playing div2 slowly do you lol.

You've got almost 5 weeks to get to 100, if you did 20 levels a week you would be done in 3.5 weeks.

[swift cairn]

Yeah im dealing with some shit irl so i borderline dont got the energy to play lol. But yeah i got 30ish in a few days

[inner tendon]

Well there you go, just play slow and at your own pace.
I'm still only at mid-30 myself and am under no stress to finish too fast.

[brazen mountain]

People, generally have a range of reasons for doing what they do, some of which they may not be consciously aware of: a friend of mine missed 2 days of work (and 2 days of pay) to play (and according to him, "it was a laborious task which I did not even enjoy and stressed me out cause I missed work) so he could complete the season. Had he considered this rationally and did the math, he would have realised that going to work (getting paid) and using a miniscule amount of that money to buy the levels, would have been the "better" choice. 🤔

[swift cairn]

Yeah. Im dealing with a possible family loss, so effort farming a game i barely like is kinda low on the goalpost.

[swift cairn]

Well 90 isnt needed anyways ig, elmos engine dropped for me w/o ever having it? Imma assume a bug but ill take it

[swift cairn]

Now i gotta ask lmao. Is that gonna get taken from me or get me banned or is fair fair since it dropped as rng?
And whatre the chances the holster does the exact same

Cuz thats funnt asf to me.

I saw that thing and squealed on sight

[inner tendon]

It's not an intentional bug you exploited, it's a known glitch.
I've got Exotics laying around that are from "not supposed to drop there" myself. So I wouldn't worry about it.

Think of it as some nice karma after certain previous Exotics weren't added to TL even after they should've been.

[swift cairn]

Awesome. So im safe cuz i got zero control

[civic lily]

Can't believe I couldn't get ninjabike bp from TL within the intended timeframe

smh

[inner tendon]

Oh no, however will you cope without an Exotic that's on par with Imperial Dynasty, truly a loss felt forever.

[civic lily]

all those Acosta go backs could have been ninjabikes

[inner tendon]

I was saying to myself just today "i could really use a backpack that makes every build actively worse".

[swift cairn]

Lmao tine to pray for shocker punch jdxt

I love this thing

THE HOLSTER DROPPEDNALREADY

[civic lily]

ninja bike should be a brand set/gear set in itself that would be cool

[swift cairn]

what the actual fuck

All.thats left is striker and a chest with the crit damahe perk

3 blue 3 red striker? Hm

or 2 blue 4 red

[civic lily]

2 blues

[inner tendon]

2 to 3 blues is a good amount in total, as long as you're using a shield of course.

[swift cairn]

Keep ceska chest i presume?

[civic lily]

yes

[inner tendon]

Ceska chest, Coyotes, the rest Striker.
boom, dps god.

[swift cairn]

Rip i was doing a countdown run and nobody called exrraction so we lost while everyone was in it lol.

[swift cairn]

Ill prolly setup 2 builds, one with coyotes for nornal content and one with shocker for content where enemies are grouped up

[vivid tiger]

Easier said then done. Finding 7 people to grind heroic regularly isn’t an easy feat. Would be much better to queue for activities you know.. in the heroic matchmaking.. But hey we’re both entitled to our own opinions.

[brazen mountain]

Maybe Discord should consider a channel - lfg countdown heroic 🤔

[sudden matrix]

Just go into the LFG channel and say you are looking for heroic countdown?

[karmic shuttle]

or maybe just run a countdown heroric with matchmaking?

[olive furnace]

what you guys think if we could change the order or priority of ours builds... like my 15th to put it at 1rst... , would be soooooo nice

[azure obsidian]

Guys, I'm new to the game and still don't really understand about how the ' targeting loot ' works . Basically, I would now like to find some ARs as exotics, is there an option where I can enable this? So where can I choose to only be able to drop AR?

[dense basalt]

In Countdown and Summit you can change targeted loot to whatever you want

[azure obsidian]

How exactly?

[dense basalt]

Hover over countdown should pop up at bottom for targeted loot sorry I'm on ps so don't know exact key it would be on pc but will say targeted loot at bottom

And Summit will also have the option for targeted loot

[swift cairn]

Whatre the chances ravenous can also bug drop like the bp exotics? Just a randon thought i had lol.
Also, does exotic drops have a knockout system to obtain them all before duplicates or a weighted chance system?

[wispy merlin]

no to both

[swift cairn]

Rip.

I got really lucky then getting shocker punch and st elmos back to back then

[sudden matrix]

You do get both from the season track, might have gotten them back to back because of that? Or are you already season level 100?

[swift cairn]

Nope. Neither. Its a bug that that can drop in open content.

my pass is only level 30 lol

i got both as fresh drops in countdown

Thats why i was asking if ravenous might also be bugged if im lucky to avoid a raid altogethet

[sudden matrix]

Brah raid is dope. I ran three DH tonight.

[swift cairn]

I hate raids. Being in chats past like 3 or 4 gives me a headache. And my survivability skills are incompetent when mechanics are involved

[sudden matrix]

Well I raid with chill people, we teach and help people get exotics or learn the raid.

[swift cairn]

Yeah i had someone walk me through the regu/rav raid so i knew the areas, it did not help one bit lol.

My brain just shut off. Raid style mechanics dont process for me in third person games. Same issue i got in FF14

[sudden matrix]

Well I don't think I've met anyone who learned everything in one raid. It took me 15ish raids in IH before I finally started to get most of what was happening.

[swift cairn]

Is that when doing it in story or normal where the items actually drop? Cus most people ive seen play this game on psn 100% do not got the patience for 15 tries

15 runs with my dumbass anyways

[sudden matrix]

I've only done normal.

[swift cairn]

Is there a difficulty above normal?

ive always heard raid enemies were like equivalent challenging-heroic, which is among many reasons i refused to touch it.

[sudden matrix]

No just discovery and normal but you can add directives now.

[swift cairn]

I see. That seems pointless tbh

[sudden matrix]

I've got about 700 total raids and I took a break after WONY came out and I've only been back for 5 months.

The raids aren't hard so directives spice it up.

[swift cairn]

I see. Enemy stats are equivalent to what difficulty?

[sudden matrix]

Probably in between challenging and heroic.

[swift cairn]

Yeah id struggle. I can manage challenging with directives using the gearset i recently made and maybe the one im making next. Hadnt tried heroic again since working on it

[sudden matrix]

It sounds like you're newer, once you get a really good build set up you'll think you were crazy before.

[swift cairn]

Less newer more extreme burnout and quit playing pime 6 times

[sudden matrix]

My best friend was like that, even said something like man I can't pay heroic that's insane hard and once he had his build we helped with challenging diff for someone and he was like these people are paper wtf.

[swift cairn]

rip i got slapped by automod again

[sudden matrix]

Bonk

[swift cairn]

1 sec.

I was a day one for base game and WONY. Just had a bad group of people i played with, bad people in every sense of the word. I cut ties with em and ended up playing solo till around SHD 100, which led to burnout for me, then i came back a few times over the last year, sitting at 280 or so. So not really new? Just kinda incompetent lol

[sudden matrix]

Well read the build guides and ask questions. Some people are rude but most of us really wanna help.

[swift cairn]

But yeah, i can kinda shred challenging hp bars? Its moreso survival for me cuz i suck at positioning. My build to fix that is a 4blue 2 red hunters with scorpio/memento and ceska

I dont think thatd hold up for a raid tho

[sudden matrix]

Raid is either striker or HE AR for anyone wanting to FTC or farm exotics.

[swift cairn]

HE? brains skipping a beat

[sudden matrix]

High end, all yellow gear.

[swift cairn]

Oh yeah.

thats what my original setup was before coming back cuz i was told most high endbuilds are stronger then gear sets

Can the raid exotic be farmed or is it timegated to once aweek?

[sudden matrix]

Regulus is raid only. Ravenous and eagle bearer can be gotten in the DZ but it's a TINY chance. You are better off raiding.

[swift cairn]

Well i know that. I mean, is it farmable like multiple times a day?

or does it got sone sort of limit like destiny 2 does

because knowing my luck despite raids being like a 10% rate, id get it 100nl runs pater

[sudden matrix]

In the raid it's a box at the end, you'll collect keys from boxes along the way and the boss drops one. Those boxes can only be opened once a week per character and resets Tuesday.

[swift cairn]

Damn. I was hoping it wasnt limited. Thats gonna be painful if i try lol

[sudden matrix]

Forget the chance of exotic out the box at the end but it's 10%ish? Everyone can open it for you and sometimes everyone does just to try to help people farm them. You can store enough keys to open for three back to back raids and the boss always drops a key so you can farm keys if you want.

Also I think the drop chance of 10% is first open then it reduces.

[swift cairn]

I see. So its worth joining random teams when i feel comfy attempting the raid cuz someone might be kind enough to give the exotic if they dont need it

After i finish my current build i might see sbout trying then

[sudden matrix]

Yeah, I only play PC so I'm not sure where to suggest you raid. I know one person who does play ps and could ask if he knows anywhere to get ps raids in.

[swift cairn]

What dps number is considered really good for ARs near endgame?

testing at firing range obviously On a named target

My current non-perfect stat elmos builds nowndoing at max like 540k or 504k one of the two, per bullet, and roughly 900k+ on crits with max strikers/coyotes and obliterate. I hope its progress?

[sudden matrix]

Oh no I see him typing...

[blazing timber]

there may be some optimization left to do on gear pcs

[blazing timber]

lmao

[sudden matrix]

They SHD 200ish.

[blazing timber]

but it's good

[blazing timber]

than it is quite good

[sudden matrix]

Yeah your numbers are tracking just fine for your SHD.

[blazing timber]

i thought like 900k is too low for 1000shd so definitely low shd

[civic lily]

Trying to optimize at low shd good one

[sudden matrix]

You'll see 1.3ish mil crits for obliterate chest and 1.7ish mil crits for perfect focus chest on strikers. Fully optimized and 1k SHD.

[blazing timber]

simple farm better pcs at low shd

[blazing timber]

need 20expertise for that 1.7mil lol

[civic lily]

Which chest brand?

[blazing timber]

perfect focus what else

[civic lily]

the other one

[sudden matrix]

I personally run grupo/ceska, not a fan of coyotes.

[blazing timber]

you don't like rng in your dmg too?

[civic lily]

hm yes the rng between 10% chc and 25% chc at 50% chc

[sudden matrix]

lol yeah kinda but also so many other people run it it doesn't matter if I do or don't.

[blazing timber]

in a group yeah you always find someone with coyote and in cd 2 coyote buffs are common

[sudden matrix]

I'll be doing countdown with all the buffs most the time.

[wispy merlin]

i run it mostly since i play solo or duo

[sudden matrix]

If I'm solo I'm reg boi.

[wispy merlin]

it's the holy trinity for me

[blazing timber]

yeah dien.aka.kim support for div2 carry

[wispy merlin]

striker nego HHF

lol

[blazing timber]

no contests for those 3

[civic lily]

determijed

[blazing timber]

once it is fixed than we will see

[civic lily]

I'm gonna miss budget regulus

[wispy merlin]

i want to see in 50 years what they do to determined

before that i'm just gonna aim at heads like normal

[blazing timber]

actually they fixed determined in between

but broke it again

[sudden matrix]

I wish it was working as intended. It's way too much cheese for my taste.

[wispy merlin]

still need to farm more exos to get white death to +20

[blazing timber]

i used them on my elmos

[sudden matrix]

Ew

[blazing timber]

now need lvl20 oxis

[blazing timber]

why i already have famas regulus Scorpio at 20 now elmos at 20

[civic lily]

determined perfectly fine pistol talent tbh

[humble tartan]

What rewards do you get from completing legendary floor 100 in summit

[wispy merlin]

famas, regulus, scorpio, m870, soon: white death, six12

[sudden matrix]

I'm only expertise 18... I'm super slacking.

[blazing timber]

determined was supposed to be head body head body chaining mechanic they fucked up and now it is head and doesn't matter

[civic lily]

It shouldn't deactivate on headshots

[wispy merlin]

i just used my wony alts to get me to 20. then i stopped bothering

[blazing timber]

real agents 20 expertise grey gear with sleigher

i am at 23 for like 2 monts

[sudden matrix]

Yeah I'm lazy on wony runs. I think I've done three? And only for mats to optimize.

[wispy merlin]

i think i did 5 runs then the rest of the progress was just thru leveling

[blazing timber]

i remember someone has lvl23 reviver hive

[wispy merlin]

for filament

[sudden matrix]

Omg dude in my clan hit 23 before he got to 2k SHD. Mad lad

[wispy merlin]

i got it at 6k shd iirc

[blazing timber]

i think it was eevee

[wispy merlin]

i'm dead... the tenacity

[blazing timber]

yeah

[blazing timber]

need to think what to expertise 20 after oxis any ideas?👀

[wispy merlin]

for skills?

[blazing timber]

yeah

[civic lily]

booster hive

[blazing timber]

you mean the tech hive

ahh the handling/hazpro hive it is nice support in cd

[civic lily]

equally as serious

[wispy merlin]

cluster mine?

[civic lily]

idk does shield expertise do anything?

[blazing timber]

yeah that could be useful

[wispy merlin]

regen

[blazing timber]

on striker shield expertise is god you get both holster/active regen on normal it is just one of them

[wispy merlin]

and shrapnel trap too if you're into that

[blazing timber]

that thing is quite op used correctly

[wispy merlin]

exactly

[blazing timber]

ok now back 2 farming

[humble tartan]

Dear God your don't get anything for completing floor 100 on legendary. Net even a patch.

I want my time back lol

[civic lily]

you get glory

bragging rights

[humble tartan]

Glory dosent make me look awsome

[civic lily]

so does a backpack trophy

[humble tartan]

Fair point

At least doing legendary on the Strongholds gave you btsu outfits

[civic lily]

True but I didn't do legendary because I saw a white outfit personally

but outfits > backpack trophys I agree

[swift cairn]

I was distracted reading stuff, just read chat. Feels good knowing that 900k is pretty good at my shd level.

[ionic grail]

Hi, i'm trying to farm Polycarbonate is it better to dismantling gears and weapons or killing Enemies?

[swift grail]

dismantling

[ionic grail]

thx :))

[rugged stratus]

The solar farm control point, west of capitol mission, has a huge abundance of material cases. All types.
It's a really good daily farm.
Alternatively, if you have a decent watch level (1500+) you can create an alt, run it through wony and itll duplicate whatever watch level you currently have, all scavenging points you've earned so far will be available

[tiny stump]

why did i just spend a ton of scav points maxing this out.

[plucky mesa]

Good build.

[tiny stump]

the heals actually work better than i thought. im just worried about keeping everyones buff up

[plucky mesa]

Even if you don't heal them it's still a good boost overall

[tiny stump]

yep. im just wondering what the 25% extra will do for an oblit, coyotes, strikers build.

[foggy needle]

i suspect it will boost them by 25% TWD 😛

[tiny stump]

i know i just wanna see numberss

i just realized the damage boost applies to skills too

[sudden matrix]

Ground control will do that tho.

[tiny stump]

yeah but only at full armor. if i run it with tech spec and hold the kard custom i get the 2 skill tiers and 2 more ammo for the chem launcher

[foggy needle]

iirc holding the kard custom gives the ammo at the end so you would need to wait for the reload before using that new ammo

[sudden matrix]

I'm referring to healing part of the ground control, that green line connecting you to other agents, works for any heal regardless of your current armor. Big heals yo.

[spark crater]

Is there any talent/gear set which gives exploding bullets to you and your allies? The other day i was playing with random clearing stronghold and all of us were firing exploding bullets. He was using some lmg

[sudden matrix]

Ongoing directive gear set.

Was probably using a blue screen to apply status effects.

[spark crater]

Ye does anyone have good build using OD & Bluescreen

[sudden matrix]

Well funny you should ask... Pinned in the #td2-build-advice is a link to a spreadsheet with the exact build you are looking for.

This is the evernote link if you can't find it, this is pulled directly from the mentioned spreadsheet.

https://www.evernote.com/shard/s588/client/snv?isnewsnv=true&noteGuid=ab467bd9-bf13-4346-2df4-3f78505343e1&noteKey=acd6f7b3c392f50e82763fe08baf147c&sn=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.evernote.com%2Fshard%2Fs588%2Fsh%2Fab467bd9-bf13-4346-2df4-3f78505343e1%2Facd6f7b3c392f50e82763fe08baf147c&title=Ongoing%2BDirective%2B%2B%2528TU18%2529

[tiny vale]

can i get iron horse raid keys on discovery?

[foggy needle]

nope, normal only

[solid bay]

Does the ninjabike backpack drop in CD?

[foggy needle]

yes its in target loot

eh well might need to own the blueprint 1st though 🤔

[solid bay]

But rarer than st elmo’s i suppose?

[foggy needle]

not how it works

all exotics have the same drop chance

[solid bay]

Ive opened 10 exotic caches and all ive gotten are dupes 😭

[foggy needle]

RNG is RNG

[solid bay]

Ig so

The only exotics ive seen drop is the st elmo’s engine

[foggy needle]

RNG giveth and RNG taketh

[solid bay]

Alr ty man I appreciate the assist

[tiny vale]

whats the best for pvp concussion vigilance or companion

[nova granite]

What is the best LMG for Heartbreaker?

[fallow inlet]

Hey Local, Nug, Azurmen32, Souless

[sudden matrix]

Concussion- You need to hit headshots.
Vigi- you loose it once you take damage to your armor/health.
Companion-just need a deployed skill or ally near by.
So depending on how you play in PVP dictates which is "best".

[sudden matrix]

The best LMG for that is an AR. If you are like naw brah I am gonna put on an LMG idk maybe NEGEV? LMGs are just bad in comparison but shoot for one with underbarrel attachment for the link laser and run flatline.

[sudden matrix]

Herro!

[earnest scroll]

Tbh if you're Set on using a Lmg you could also go for the perfect flatline one and Use a different pulse like the sniper drone

[sudden matrix]

Yeah this works too.

[earnest scroll]

Technican is less valuable since you don't use a shield anyway

But it's worse than just going laser pointer ar

[tiny vale]

which one is better in ur opinion concussion or companion

[rugged stratus]

good afternoon Saph

[sudden matrix]

I'd go with companion, although it's less potential damage it's reliable damage as long as you know how to keep it up, like running an explosive seeker or having a drone follow you.

[cyan gyro]

Hey folks, what's the easiest way to farm exotic components? Even if it's one specific exotic I can keep dismantling? I don't play on Heroic, which I'm guessing will be a problem lol

[tiny stump]

one thing i do besides the weekly materials donation project on all 4 characters to get an exotic each. i get hyenas keys and open their lock boxes in the right zones to collect the components for chatterbox and then i construct a chatterbox and then break it down for the component. i do this pretty much every day. its not much but it helps

[sudden matrix]

Get a level 30 character and farm boxes in the DZ.

[cyan gyro]

I have a couple chatterboxes -- if I destroy them will the weapon components start showing up again?

[sudden matrix]

Liberty is much faster to get components for all you need are D50s. You can do that with chatter if you want tho.

[cyan gyro]

The number of components I need at expertise level 17/18 is just nuts

Thanks for the ideas

[tiny stump]

yea you cannot have a chatterbox in your inventory or in your stash or else components wont show up. stash your good chatterbox on an alt character

[thorn hedge]

20 components every level after 20

[cyan gyro]

I should just stop lol, yikes

[thorn hedge]

Lol

[cyan gyro]

I mean having my fave loadout at 17 and a couple pieces at 18 feels nice already, I won't stress it

[tiny stump]

im just annoyed that im gonna have to run wony like 4 or 5 more times to get my expertise level up past 16 and up into the 20s

all the skills and named items and exotics. gonna have to printer filament those

[thorn hedge]

I just used random items while doing countdown until I got to like 15

Rest are resources

[rich thicket]

i just installed and i am a noob can someone help me i just started

[tiny stump]

the game should do a fair bit of guiding you thru what you need to do at the very beginning

do you have any specific questions or are you stuck in some way?

[rich thicket]

no just wanna find sum people tp play with then man

[tiny stump]

oh i got ya. keep checking in the lfg page. or go into the map menu. scroll right to matchmaking and hold G to call for backup. or whatever buttons it tells you to do if you have a controller

i would play with ya but i would just be destroying everything.. hmm actually i have a support build that will make your character stronger and i could just not shoot stuff

[rugged stratus]

Complete all the ge reward tracks . 2 more upcoming before end of season.

If you didnt already make your 3 alts and you can harvest 4 weekly shd projects if they are boosted to 30. Added bonus of duplicate shd on all if they are pushed through wony.

If you have a high shd level and unlimited mats you can spam level 30 alts harvest the weekly shd, delete, repeat. Like an exo every 15-20 mins .

Spam countdown. It's an exo cache every 30 minutes or so +whatever happens to drop.
Sniper/assault/smg targets have a better drop rate. Less overall items in the weapon categories than in gear categories.

[vivid tiger]

can't get the demon hunter to spawn, the mission thats supposed to be in that area is not there. What am I missing?

[azure obsidian]

The Capacitor assault rifle can only drop from the summit? Or also in countdown if i target loot?

[vivid tiger]

summit first then target loot

[azure obsidian]

Which difficulty you suggest me? I struggle to find people playing Summit

[vivid tiger]

you just have to do 5 challenges, can be done on lowest difficulty

takes like 15min to get

[azure obsidian]

Oh, just 5 challenges and it’s a guarantee drop?

[vivid tiger]

thats correct

[azure obsidian]

They’re hard challenges? Because i’m a new player

[vivid tiger]

you can do the easy ones, just select them from menu and you can run it fast

[ionic grail]

how can i get SHD ponit , i saw ppl have crazy numbers

[swift grail]

Get xp

[blazing timber]

farming is life for them once above 1000 doesn't matter much

[tender stag]

ofc it matter

the bigger SHD level you have, the more points you get to spend on materials when you make a new char

so you can optimise more gear/expertise/weapons

[ionic grail]

that's what i want , but i want to know how ppl get level 1000 soo fast

[blazing timber]

get eclipse fire build farm heroic with as many directives you can

or you can get d50 determined hh build

boh are fast at clearing content

do public execution

around 20-25 SHD/hr

[narrow matrix]

That will bore you out, just play with directives and matchmake / call for backup (doesn’t increase xp but does increase the number of enemies)

It’s effective for sure, just gets boring after like a day or 2

[thorn hedge]

uh arrow doesnt increasing number of enemies increase xp gain then

[narrow matrix]

Xp per kill

[peak ember]

Whats the easiest place to find some ammo to set people on fire?

[thorn hedge]

why do you need incendiary ammo

[blazing timber]

fire ammo it is available in open world but don't remember the spawn exactly

[thorn hedge]

the bigger question is why do you need it lol

[peak ember]

for Reanimated?

[thorn hedge]

why do you need incendiary ammo for reanimated

just hit headshots?

[blazing timber]

they have some fire ammo challenge?

[peak ember]

Yes

[blazing timber]

use eclipse

[thorn hedge]

what is it

[blazing timber]

if fire is concern

[thorn hedge]

what is the challenge

[peak ember]

Day 2: Burn re-animated Hostiles. Also ive tried eclipse, the damage from skills would kill em long before they would start burning

[blazing timber]

you are playing it wrong than

[nimble spruce]

you use eclipse with fire damage skills like fire sticky and chem

[blazing timber]

use fire sticky at red let him burn and detonate it

or use creeping death

with fire sticky/chem

[sudden matrix]

I mean if they dropped the diff to make it easier firestarter would instakill.

[thorn hedge]

but wouldnt you also get less enemies and hinder yourself further 🤔

[blazing timber]

yeah but the sticky won't kill unless you detonate unless he is on normal

[sudden matrix]

But they shouldn't need to drop the diff, build works fine on heroic solo and group.

[blazing timber]

yeah no doubt about it

also reanimated kills you need to kill enemies without hsd for them to reanimate

so eclipse is the nest Choice here

[main glacier]

is my game broken ? i couldnt finish technician stage 4 its my second attempt destroying his ammo belt first

[sudden matrix]

I swear everyone has trouble with these challenges. I'd just try again or restart your game to be sure.

[blazing timber]

teah try without directives

[main glacier]

yeah it has no directives actually

i waited for his ammo belt to stop flying around then kill him

but to no luck i gotta do 3rd run after restarting the game

[blazing timber]

is there some difficulty cap like hard or above or something?

[main glacier]

uh nope just story difficulty

[blazing timber]

might try on hard

[foggy needle]

FYI sometimes those spec challenges do have a hidden difficulty cap fyi (hold over from how they were before) so try them all on hard or higher.

also make sure its on correct mode (ie not invaded if it requires not invaded)

[main glacier]

ah it worked

[thorn hedge]

wait

we dont have any insight on the captain lewis manhunt mission yet

what the hell does "status: classified" mean

[foggy needle]

id tell you but its classified

[thorn hedge]

wow thanks

[sudden matrix]

Well maybe something along the lines of ||CLASSIFIED INFORMATION||?

[potent iron]

CLASSIFIED INFO ?

war thunder players are getting excited just over such words

[blazing timber]

need to focus on the info

[wispy merlin]

focus?

[sudden matrix]

lol I love seeing that X amount of days since classified documents were leaked on the forums.

[blazing timber]

focus

[fallow inlet]

well i found Azurmen32👋

[blazing timber]

need binoculars to find Azuremen32

[foggy needle]

HOW DARE YOU!

also 👋

[wispy merlin]

hello sir

[blazing timber]

hello Azuremen Sir

PLease dont turn into Azuwrath

i was looking at things from binoculars perspective

[tawdry birch]

Every now and then when i join a group my backpack mod gets removed. Any steps to take so it doesn't happen ?

[swift grail]

save your loadout

[worldly fjord]

make sure you save your loadouts

[tawdry birch]

It's saved, so it's a weird one. It's only on this build too, the others have no issue.

[elder seal]

what resolution is it that people play on where it’s like stretched?

[sudden matrix]

There are a few but most are a type of widescreen and are like stretched 1440p really. Like 3440x1440 or 3440x1600.

[rugged stratus]

Your items shouldnt change when joining weather it's a saved loadout or not.
Double check that everything is set to favorite so no accidental deletes.
Also maybe save the loadout like 2-3 times with overwrite. Sometimes loadouts dont fully save properly and that could result in wrong items when you select it

[sudden matrix]

Always save loudouts like 2-3 times and always equip them a few times too.

[plucky mesa]

3440x1440p aren't stretched, you simply get more screen either side.

[sudden matrix]

I never said stretched. It's just a wide version and most editing software doesn't have support unless you've paid for it so a lot of second hand footage looks stretched.

Unless he was referring to using the wrong resolution to give a stretching effect?

[narrow kraken]

Does the game still crash on PC??
I wonder if The Division 2 will stop crashing if I run it from a SSD...

[sudden matrix]

Some people have issues, others don't, you just have to find out which you are.

[loud saddle]

roll the dice

[sudden matrix]

I mean it sounds like they were a crasher but now have a SSD and think it might not crash while using that?

[rugged stratus]

personally crashes have been down considerably since first update to this season. dont actually remember last time it happened. the last few minor updates probably have had some stability improvements

[elder seal]

yea i’ve seen some people who purposely use the wrong resolution to make everything bigger, mainly people who pvp so it’d easier to hit headshots

[peak ember]

So i have a potentially dumb question. I know if i equip the named KARD, itll increase the health of my turret for example from a tier 0 health Turret to a turret with Tier 1, but does that disappear if i holster the KARD? Not on right now to test, hence why im asking.

[sudden matrix]

If you're looking to do the same I guess you'd have to experiment to see what's best but I imagine it would be a square resolution when you've got a 16:9 aspect ratio. I mean sounds dumb to me cause it would mess with your horizontal sensitivity in a stretched view like that.

[dense basalt]

Ye Kard has to be in your hand for extra skill tier

[grim linden]

Is descent worth playing if you want xp or should i just farm cp4s for faster xp? i can prob clear a cp4 in around 6-8 mins solo

[dense basalt]

Farming open world better and faster for xp

[grim linden]

Thanks

[strange citrus]

Just beat nemesis in descent , on loop 10 should I keep going ?

[thorn hedge]

On loop 10 ew

[pallid heron]

In the Ubisoft Connect app, what does Playstyle: Damage Type, "Fireburner," say about how I play? Also, what is a decent Accuracy Ratio?

[next perch]

Why does my primary weapon sometimes change to my secondary when I didn't switch them?

[wispy merlin]

do you have ammo hoarders on?

when your equipped weapon mag is empty and you pop a shield, you auto swap to a weapon that has ammo

[earnest scroll]

Especially with the current event and version of determined farming is fast af just throw together some half assed sniper build and onetap everything

Can even do d50 or even other pistols with determined

[blazing timber]

d50 determined is faster with hf

you can just one tap everything

[rugged stratus]

As long as there are no helmets...

Pretty funny popping a helmet on a hyena rusher even tho you hit them center mass for 43mil 🤣

[blazing timber]

yeah lol it is annoying sometimes but true sons public execution has no helmet guy

[sudden snow]

will D2 get FSR3 support?

[blazing timber]

no and it is better off without more features

we already get too much with patch updates

[neon hare]

At this point, i just think that the Perfect Unbreakable it's just not in the game anymore

Hundreds of hours and nothing. Raids, everything. Common Ubi!

Does it come for a particular branded gear set ?

[full granite]

belongs to badger tuff no?

[neon hare]

Or it's enough to farm vest target loot ?

Thats what im asking. Not sure

[full granite]

yeah its badget tuff

[neon hare]

Ohh really ?

Daaaaamn

Ok then. will farm Summit with Badger Tuff as target loot

[rugged stratus]

More named item drops from countdown

[neon hare]

Will try

Shoul i still target Badger Tuff ?

[vivid tiger]

Can Matador drop from Legacy Caches?

[rugged stratus]

Yes always target the brand for named. You only target gear type for exotic farming

[rugged stratus]

Definitly drops from named. I'm not 100 if it's in legacy

[vivid tiger]

someone got it from legacy idk what chances are better

i know i can get system corryuption from legacy though so might be worth just saving stars

[rugged stratus]

Yeah system for sure drops from legacy so it's worth a shot

[main briar]

i had nothing better to do so i went ahead and looked it up and matador was on the season 2 rewards track, so it'll be in the legacy cache drop table

[vivid tiger]

wonder if legacy chances are better then Named

[main briar]

you'd have the compare the number of items from all previous seasonal tracks vs all named items - off the top of my head i'd assume the named pool is probably smaller but don't quote me on that
edit: but if you're also after syscor as well then legacy are probably your best bet

[rain thorn]

Doing Eva Garcia rescue in VP Museum. Made it to broadcast room, killed bounty and rescued Eva. Apparently there is more to the mission as I now have to "Gain entrance to ViewPoint". Orange diamond seems to indicate elevators at back of Hall are way to to go, but elevator is not actionable on either floor. Also, no doors lead outside of Hall, so I seem to be stuck except for fast travel on map, which I assume will fail mission. What way to advance?

[rugged stratus]

legacy i think drops 2 items compared to named 1 item. has to be figured in.. but i think named is probably smaller pool regardless

[main briar]

good point, forgot about that

[rain thorn]

Never mind. I went ahead and fast traveled out of VP Museum, then visited Eva in the Castle. It told me mission complete, so I suppose it's all good.

[main briar]

iirc the manhunt bounties co-located with missions will erroneously activate the story version of the mission once you've completed the bounty

[worldly fjord]

the only time you should be targeting these is for going after exotics.
mask wasn't in this pic but applies to that too

[rain thorn]

Interesting. This was rescue number 3 for me and that is first time that happened.

[unkempt wing]

Why can’t I complete the tech stage 3, by completing the capitol building

[worldly fjord]

are you doing it with true sons or black tusk?

[strange citrus]

Is pulsed enemies a status effect?

[civic lily]

according to talents that require status effects to work no

[worldly fjord]

Pulse isn't a status

[strange citrus]

Thanks

Spotter with perfect flatline

Any other talent that added damage to pulsed enemies ?

[narrow matrix]

Just overcharge pulse skills

[nimble spruce]

Heartbreaker gearset too

[earnest scroll]

You'd run heartbreaker instead of spotter though, not running the chest for spotter is very questionable (except for a weird heartbreaker skill build hybrid if those exist)

[nimble spruce]

True

[rugged stratus]

I used to run spotter on nego.. until elmo entered the picture.
Now it's just oblit. if needing skill and weapon boost, glass

[blazing timber]

glass cannon best for non focus nego 😂

[nova granite]

Which missoins give Technician specilaization points?

[nimble spruce]

you can get specialisation points from levelling up, from doing daily & weekly projects, and other time-limited things like daily bounties & weekly invasion - however, you only earn points when a specialisation is active

[earnest scroll]

is there any way to craft empress or hana u pieces on a lvl 30 character?

ive tried boosting and sharing blueprints but i dont have the option of crafting those wony brands on my lvl 30 chzars

[thorn hedge]

dont think so

[rugged stratus]

I was able to craft lvl 30 empress. I cant remember if the bp were part of a season or not though. I've had div2 since launch.
If you cant craft it you may be able to farm it. Worse case go wyvern , 3 hanna maybe yellow grupo yellow ceska . I know for sure you can roll down capacitor to 30

[earnest scroll]

Well I also don't have Hana u or grupo options

[thorn hedge]

you 100% wouldnt be able to farm it

[earnest scroll]

Best I can see is 4 hardwired 1 wyvern and a downrolled waveform

[rugged stratus]

I can post an image later when I'm home of lvl 30 empress piece

Thatll work

[earnest scroll]

Is that what people use for wony runs?

[rugged stratus]

Everyone is different tbh. Some prefer regulus builds. I used skill when I had to put my 3 agents through.
I have a couple clan guys that run it weekly and they just use the junk they spawn with and keep reequipping new items till 40 when they grab a build

[earnest scroll]

Sounds slower than skill build though no?

[rugged stratus]

Yeah skills for me were the quickest

If you add me I can give you a hand burning through some stuff when I'm on later today. It's a lot quicker as a team. Same ign as here

[earnest scroll]

thanks, not necessarily looking to do it today but ill still add you

[narrow matrix]

Is this something that’s happening currently or are they going to start adding purple loot ?

And is there any info on foam and stinger hive rebalance?

[thorn hedge]

the rogues are normal difficulty everywhere

[narrow matrix]

I’m confused … are they not heroic on heroic world difficulty?

[thorn hedge]

no thats the bug

[blazing timber]

no sometimes they are properly scaled

[thorn hedge]

when

[blazing timber]

just 2 days ago

rouge encounter

they were tough as usual

[rugged stratus]

Missions/ summit proper scaling. Open world bugged scaling

Afaik

[thorn hedge]

no im pretty confident missions are still bugged lol

[rugged stratus]

🤷‍♂️ afaik

[rugged stratus]

Where, open world, mission, or summit?

[blazing timber]

open world

[rugged stratus]

All the open world I've encountered were bugged dropping purple gear.
Missions and summit they seem correct with all high end drops, tankier rogues.

[soft knot]

What makes the Eagle Bearer so good?

[sudden matrix]

Nothing, it's really not that great. You mostly see it in PVP because of it's high base damage and headshot damage, the talent can save you but could also kill you.

Well talent doesn't kill you exactly but you'll think you're fine then blep.

[soft knot]

So its not like a must have?

[plucky mesa]

Nope

[thorn hedge]

For a few months after it was released it was lmao

[plucky mesa]

Then it got nerfed

[worldly fjord]

its not good pretty much at all

[narrow matrix]

Had 2 rogue encounters … they were scaled on heroic

Dropped all yellow loot

Capitol building invaded heroic (4 in group)
Bank headquarters heroic (2 people in group)

Global event and 4 directives except fragile armor

[narrow kraken]

ive been doing viewpoint museum for a while and the final boss aint dropping a fragment for liberty blueprint

[civic lily]

how are you gonna have ammo hoarders on and not fragile armor

[tame basin]

i have both on

[rugged stratus]

At least ammo hoarders isnt broken 😅

[sudden matrix]

You've never had the negative ammo glitch?

[rugged stratus]

No

I dont usually run either tho

Just when I mm into a group

[sudden matrix]

Oh well yeah if you get that you can't get ammo and pretty much have to log out to fix it.

[rugged stratus]

That's crappy

[sudden matrix]

it's pretty rare tho. I've only had it happen twice and know of it happening to others like 3 times.

[rugged stratus]

Probably non issue with a regulus or determined d50 build

[thorn hedge]

Idk anymore

[dense basalt]

I've had missions were rogues are still bugged

[main briar]

this has been my experience as well, as recently as yesterday. rogues spawned in missions have the proper toughness, open world spawns die when you sneeze on them

[earnest zealot]

What is the best way to get alot of e-credits

[civic lily]

Bounties

[earnest zealot]

Bet

[thorn hedge]

or countdown + sell everything

[grim rose]

Can someone help me out with the Pentco Fairview Manhunt on heroic with all Directive's

[thorn hedge]

/invite ChampionEevee

[solemn granite]

Is emperors guard still DZ exclusive?

[wispy merlin]

yes

[vivid tiger]

Is this much armor even possible? Have never seen so many bars

[wispy merlin]

it's the way pre-wony characters display their armor, it's only visual

if you look at their actual armor value it isn't that high

[vivid tiger]

Ahh I was about to say

[solemn granite]

Technically you can get that many bars, it takes all the armour you can get and then memento trophies. You could also do memento on a heartbreaker set, but actually armour without bonus, no

[thorn hedge]

level 30

[worldly fjord]

memento i believe can be downgraded to lvl 30

[rugged stratus]

It can

[thorn hedge]

i believe it doesnt matter cuz that aint bonus armour lol

[worldly fjord]

true

[rugged stratus]

Memento does work at 30 though. Funny that is doesnt between 31-40 before keener is beat unless you have an shd agent with you

[worldly fjord]

it also doesnt work if a lvl 40 player who's wearing it joins another player who's sub30

my dead hardcore agent found out the hard way

[earnest zealot]

What is the best and fastest way to level up expertise?

[limber whale]

Play cd and donate all obtained gear for expertise.

[earnest zealot]

ok cool

[earnest zealot]

countdown is CD right?

[worldly fjord]

for non-named and exotics, do countdown and donate junk. for the rest, donate printer filaments

[worldly fjord]

yup

[earnest zealot]

where do you donate printer filament?

sorry I'm just a wee bit confused lol

[limber whale]

Yep exactly. Also try to have equipped rare weapons in secondary/sidearm slots and change them when they reach lvl 10 (you don’t need to use them - just to be equipped in slots).

[earnest zealot]

ok cool

[worldly fjord]

inside the expertise menu

[earnest zealot]

oh ok cool

thanks y'all

[neon hare]

Are there no Control Points with Cleaners ?

[rugged stratus]

If you are using watch points (shd> printer filament) it should be a last resort.
Printer filiments direct from shd is 300shd per proficient item.

If you use shd> cash and buy mods to break its 227shd per proficient item.

Cheapest shd method is using shd > cash and buying 20 named, or 20 of each weapon.
Shd >cash for named purchase is 30shd per proficient item.

Certain things you will have to use watch points for.

CD farming is obviously the cheapest.

[rugged stratus]

New york

[worldly fjord]

NYC has cleaners and rikers
DC has true sons, hyenas and outcast
sometimes in DC you'll see black tusk CPs as a oart of manhunt stuff

[worldly fjord]

joined a session with ammo directive on, ended up with negative ammo?

[wispy merlin]

it's a bug, you have to relog

[rugged stratus]

must be how ppl get the negative scores @ mission end /s

[rugged stratus]

this is in reference to empress before wony from yesterday morning. not sure why but i was able to craft it in dc before wony. it did release like 6 months after wony release so it seems like it should be post wony only gear
figure a dev might be able to make sense of this 😅

[thorn hedge]

neat

[rugged stratus]

will the crafting bench downgrade some of your level 40 bp to level 30 after share bp is purchased?
i was under the impression your level 30 bench only had items added that you unlocked as 30...

[spark crater]

Is it worth grinding division 2 now that Heartland is announced?

[worldly fjord]

i dont see why it wouldnt be

[spark crater]

Any moment they're going to pull the plug on div2

No?

[plucky mesa]

i think theres another year in Div2

[spark crater]

It got delayed didn't it?

May end up straight up cancelling no?

[plucky mesa]

looking at the roadmap I'd say we're good until 2025

[worldly fjord]

got delayed by one month, how do you go from that to canceled?

[spark crater]

Dont know man, massive got two big games on their plate. Are they going to dedicate resources for div2

I don't think so

[worldly fjord]

isnt ubi bucharest responsible for div2's new content?

[spark crater]

Oh

So massive no longer working on div2?

[worldly fjord]

a few people might still be, but most arent

[spark crater]

Hmm debating whether to start a fresh account

[worldly fjord]

is one account not enough?

[spark crater]

Maybe

[elder seal]

ninja bike knee pads good for anything?

[worldly fjord]

nope

[rugged stratus]

Good for a component

[soft knot]

How does the bluescrean work?

[worldly fjord]

you shoot people and deploy a skill. depending on the amount of bullets you shot, those people get applied with a status effect

[soft knot]

Can I deploy a skill first then shoot to get the effect?

[worldly fjord]

no

[worldly fjord]

deploying the skill is what procs the effect

[golden geode]

any one eles getting auto extracted from countdown

[dusty lark]

if i down someone in the DZ and swap to my orbit and kill them, does perfect finisher proc?

[worldly fjord]

yeah

[soft knot]

is there a way to toggle on and off the specialization weapon appearing oin your back?

[nimble spruce]

Yes, in the inventory options

Open one of the inventory section menus (eg masks) and check the button prompts at the bottom of the screen for the options menu

[soft knot]

thanks

[worldly fjord]

i think you have to have the spec weapon selected for that

if you hover over mask you can toggle mask

[nimble spruce]

I couldn't remember whether or not you could access that option directly by just highlighting the spec weapon, but it's definitely included in the main inventory options menu (along with various other useful things like the sorting options)

[soft knot]

Does the in sync talent do anyhting for healing skills?

[wispy merlin]

no

[worldly fjord]

its skill damage only

[narrow matrix]

Anyone else experiencing a bug where when you reload the grenade launcher you lose all your specialization ammo ?

Manually reload*

[olive furnace]

would be nice if we could get "unique" cosmetic or free stuff for reporting a cheater (with video proof) 🙂

[rugged stratus]

Yeah that wouldn't be a slippery slope or anything 🤣

[olive furnace]

i got a good one on video... like 22 sticky bomb in like 5 seconds, shooting throught the watch tower 🙂

it's a Win-Win situation.. no cheater + gift

[rugged stratus]

#unofficial-troubleshooting has links.
I doubt anything will come of it though

[worldly fjord]

You sure its not just the directive?

[barren basalt]

hi, i dont own NYC dlc. if i stock up exotic caches now and open them after i buy dlc, can i get dlc exotic item?

[worldly fjord]

i believe so, yeah.
if you get an exotic cache at lvl 30 but then you start the dlc, the cache will level up along side you. when you get to 40, the exotic caches will also be lvl 40

[barren basalt]

WOW, im only hoped to get dlc exotic but i can also get lv40 dlc exotic too?!
that nice

[worldly fjord]

DLC exotics are always lvl 40

without the dlc your lvl is capped at 30, after finishing the dlc you'll be at lvl 40

[marsh holly]

Just open them after you hit 40

[barren basalt]

when hive activate itself, can it activate Feedback Loop?

[sudden matrix]

Yeah, hive and or turret are really common for hardwire as you can deploy them and pick them up for almost no cooldown. This allows you to spam seekers or whatever skill you'd like.

[turbid igloo]

Are the stalker hunters really hunters or they're Just stalkers? (By that i meant If they are really hunters or just people who stalk agents instead of being in the hunter clan)

[worldly fjord]

Shields work really good too

[worldly fjord]

What you wrote makes no sense. Stalkers just dont shoot. They're still hunters

[true siren]

as far as we know, the could be aliens that just decided to show up and look at people- but they look like hunters, they disrupt your HUD like hunters can... its a safe bet that they are hunters.

also i've no clue what you mean by "hunter clan" because that isnt a thing, but go off

[turbid igloo]

Hunters are infact a faction in the game ( i forgot who created it but he's shown in the game ) it's just a hidden faction tho

[true siren]

i'm aware of the Hunter faction, but in english "clan" has a different connotation

[turbid igloo]

If they could be enemies that weren't hunters but stalkers that just watch you

[true siren]

i've fought most of the hunters in game, actually.

[turbid igloo]

Ty for the info

Funny how you can kill stalker hunters

[worldly fjord]

Again, they're hunters, they just dont shoot

[turbid igloo]

It's just hard

[turbid igloo]

Ty for giving me more of the game's lore

[true siren]

i mean they are just normal enemies that run away quickly with health pools similar to hunters- just use headhunter lol

[turbid igloo]

Hunters got a chance to drop exotics?

The stalkers and normal ones?

[true siren]

not sure about stalkers but normal hunters, like nearly every other enemy, can drop exotics yes

[worldly fjord]

They have a chance to drop stuff just like any other npc, nothing exclusive to them aside from the masks

Bighorn in legendary summit can drop from hunters

[turbid igloo]

Stalkers only disappear If a certain vision "area" sees them?

Like aiming looking straight or anything?

[worldly fjord]

Yeah if they find out you saw them they'll disappear

[turbid igloo]

I found one on a roof because of a little glow of the isac watch

While on night

Bro became smoke in question of seconds 😭

Imagine If you didn't find out about them a hunter would spawn since he "collected info from you"

[true siren]

that'd be cool but dumb

[turbid igloo]

It would take atleast 2 mins to spawn

[true siren]

"oh you didnt see this random dude spying on you from some rooftop? have a hunter encounter"

[turbid igloo]

After not fiding them

[turbid igloo]

XD

would be funny on new players

[true siren]

i'm not a dev but that would not be great ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[turbid igloo]

As they would be confused asf

[true siren]

new player spawns in, does new player things, while going to the next mission they pause for an encounter and get jumped at the end by a hunter- they'd hate that and not wanna play

[turbid igloo]

Got a point

What if only players that are on world five or hard difficulty would get the encounters only

[true siren]

if it was like, find them & emote at them then sure, because thats not something new players do as a first instinct- that or lvl 40, or even better both

but regardless i'm not anywhere close to the devs, if you want to suggest a change go @ them on twitter or smthn

[turbid igloo]

Good idea

But they probably wouldn't do that

The community wouldn't like so much

Or new players who like to emote like you mentioned

Then they would be confused and angry probably

[true siren]

as it stands, stalkers will just be a thing the game has that pop up from time to time, not much more

ppl will still get curious and ask ab them and then find out they dont do much

[turbid igloo]

Until the actual First Hunter encounter

[worldly fjord]

First hunter encounter happens much earlier than tier 5

[civic lily]

what's the worst they can lose to a emote triggered hunter encounter

[worldly fjord]

At around lvl 16

[turbid igloo]

The most probable theory that they're in Washington is because of their watch collection as most agent's watches on america sent an "false alarm" from Washington due to the blackout

[true siren]

go play the newest manhunt, it should clear some things up

unless you have and you are making your own canon up

[turbid igloo]

Ofc they could exist already on Washington and who knows everywhere on america

[true siren]

🤦‍♂️

[turbid igloo]

But who knows

[turbid igloo]

Sorry i only understand the game lore not the Hunter's lore

[worldly fjord]

Because there's pretty much nothing on them

[turbid igloo]

Hunters almost don't appear in the main game

[turbid igloo]

Only bloodthirst

For agents and rogues

[worldly fjord]

Except that one hunter in Schaefer manhunt who works for homeland security

[true siren]

its in the game dude, they give you a reason some (if not all) of the hunters are around- i wont spoil it for you but there are comms that address exactly what you are talking about

[blazing timber]

hunters on div1 were crazy especially on legendary

[worldly fjord]

Is it in descent? Im still a few weeks behind i think

[blazing timber]

like 4 people shooting them like wtf just die super tanky

[turbid igloo]

That one on the First encounter?

[worldly fjord]

I like how they brought back conley for an audio comm though

[worldly fjord]

Season 3 manhunt in coney island

First encounter is the agent edwards support

[turbid igloo]

Oh

Poor Edward tho

[true siren]

Its either descent comms or the newest manhunt- i cant remember.

[turbid igloo]

Aspect

[worldly fjord]

All of his family members are dead except for his daughter, her status is unknown

[turbid igloo]

Can you spoil the comms location so i understand the lore?

[true siren]

No lol go look for them yourself

[turbid igloo]

Aw

[true siren]

i'm not putting any work into this conversation lol i've already had to do that in other servers- looking up destiny lore is hard lmao

[worldly fjord]

In descent theres no "location", you unlock one per week for doing the weekly project

[turbid igloo]

Oh

[turbid igloo]

Damn

[worldly fjord]

I watched a 2 hours destiny lore for some reason, while not having played either games, and i didn't understand anything...
Not sure what i was expecting tbh lol

[true siren]

oh, MyNameIsByf's lore video? or MyelinGames. Pretty sure Byf's is around 5 hours, but Myelin's may cut out a lot of the middle stuff and just get to the stuff that matters.

[worldly fjord]

Honestly i have no idea, its been months

[true siren]

Ah, Byf's is only an hour and a half. Wierd, i know theres a longer one.

Regardless, not div talk. If you have all the comms for this season and dont remember the hunter stuff, then its Descent comms.

[turbid igloo]

Is there yt tutorials on the Hunter's lore comms?

[worldly fjord]

If you want lore the only place to go is the NGN yt

[turbid igloo]

Oh NGN

That guy is definitely a good the division lore youtuber

I've watched a few videos of him

[worldly fjord]

Not sure if Mastermind still does lore or not

[turbid igloo]

Dude is like an detective from the division

[turbid igloo]

Btw ty for helping me understand the lore

[thorn hedge]

Wdym don't remember the hunter stuff

[turbid igloo]

The lore

From hunters

[thorn hedge]

There's not really any lore is there

[turbid igloo]

There is

[thorn hedge]

Wait i remember

[thorn hedge]

I forgot about the lau comms lol

[true siren]

i cant remember where the hunter stuff from this season is mentioned, but i remembered there being some. I couldnt remember which one it is, so i just gave them a "if/then"

[thorn hedge]

It was the faye lau "unlock the next key" comms

[true siren]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

if its that, its that

i genuinely dont remember where its from

[thorn hedge]

Cuz they were talking about breaking away from black tusk (her and Schaeffer)

After they were speaking about how they were inhumane and weird

[turbid igloo]

Then she would become an agent again?

Can rogues become agents again?

[thorn hedge]

They both joined BT for a reason and when they saw hunters being introduced they were discussing his it's not what they joined for

[thorn hedge]

They've all kinda died so

It's possible but never happened

[true siren]

quietly dropping this here for no specific reason at all #division-universe

[thorn hedge]

Ok I'll continue then /j

[narrow matrix]

Ammo hoarders affects spec weapons too?

[worldly fjord]

Yup

[narrow matrix]

Yes but don’t open them until you kill the final boss, the game will just discard them as you can’t have level 31 - level 39 exotics

Lost about 4 exotic caches that way

[civic lily]

how did you lose the other 3 after the first?

[narrow matrix]

Thought it was bugged so I kept trying lol

My mailbox was full so the game dumped them onto empty characters inventory

[thorn hedge]

That's funny AF

[fallow inlet]

Hope Everyone's having a great Reset day gaming

[turbid igloo]

What?

[sudden matrix]

It's reset day yo.

[worldly fjord]

its tuesday my dudes

[turbid igloo]

I don't understand?

[sudden matrix]

So today is the reseting day.

[wispy merlin]

it's weekly reset

[sudden matrix]

It's the day which things reset in game.

[turbid igloo]

Oh the exotic and shop thing

[worldly fjord]

vendors reset on every tuesday

and new weekly projects

[sudden matrix]

Vendors, invaded, project, raid keys, and we had a GE turn off and another GE turn on this week.

[turbid igloo]

Trying to get the one shot one kill build for Golden bullet

What would happen If a heroic 4 players with golden bullet hunter hit you?

Depending on the players their damage and tankness increases a bit

[wispy merlin]

i mean, just like without it, you go to one-shot protection, and take too long to hide and you die

[sudden matrix]

One shot style builds don't benefit so much from GB. The only thing they get is lack of reload, which can be gotten with 4 pc hotshot if you want that function all the time.

The event that just ended is the one where you'd make stupid HH builds because it was 2x head shot damage but it just ended.

Builds that really benefit are stacking builds, but really almost anything will work well with GB because it's such a huge damage increase with the ROF, auto mag fill, and not to mention the weapon handling you gain. Some of the better uses for GB are your spec weapons as it's basically infinite ammo for it, some just stand on a door with a EP status build and burn away, you can also tear it up the the tac 50 or demo launcher pretty well.

[narrow matrix]

Anyone able to explain shd exposed in layman’s terms?

Confused as to how it works… so far this is what I understand

While out of cover … you’re exposed and gain an increase damage from enemies… you can get rid of this by doing a cover to cover or meleeing

[cedar yacht]

yeah

[narrow matrix]

I’ve done the cover to cover but my exposure isn’t transferred to nearby enemies

[sudden matrix]

That's pretty much it. Yeah cover to cover is finicky.

It's a more lame GE imo. It's one I usually get the rewards track for and turn off.

[wispy merlin]

you have to fill up the entire bar before you can transfer with c2c

[narrow matrix]

Is there a red pulse effect when the exposure is transferred

Also do the enemies take on the damage increase in question?

I’d like to think so but named enemies and tanks for some reason it doesn’t seem to effect

[narrow matrix]

I like polarity switch, reanimated, and guardians

Shd exposed, golden bullet and hollywood (people don’t use the right build) I don’t really like

[sudden matrix]

Ah yes guardians, where the guardian runs off to some other activity on the occasion.

[narrow matrix]

Ahaha I personally love that one people just make the mistake of killing the red and purple guardians as soon as they see them but can’t kill all the protected enemies fast enough to keep up the buff

So then they’re stuck tryna kill a tank or leader with overheal

[lunar ice]

Hey guys question,is the ninja bike backpack in the general loot pool ?

[narrow matrix]

Yes

[sudden matrix]

You can't hurt protected enemies tho. Sometimes a new wave spawns and the guardian is like peace noobs and you don't even see them.

[narrow matrix]

That’s why I don’t kill all the guardians, if there’s 2 red ones I’ll kill one and keep the other alive

Guardians isn’t for Scorpio unfortunately you need a high rpm weapon

[rugged stratus]

Guardians is the worst 🤣
F that GE

Good GEs
Golden bullet
Reanimated
Hollywood

Shd exposed and polarity switch are meh

[earnest scroll]

what does hollywood do again

[nimble spruce]

Makes enemies resist everything except explosive damage, which does a bit more damage than usual. It's by far my least favourite of the GEs

[tough marsh]

My favourite GE

[rugged stratus]

I fell in love with arty build that ge

[nimble spruce]

It's great in a group mission, but I mostly farm solo open world and enemies are just too spread out for effective explosive skill usage in my experience

[rugged stratus]

It's an art. I use a striker drone instead of clusters as my secondary skill. It helps along with cap

[amber snow]

if i deconstruct something with expertise levels do i get the exotic components back?

[worldly fjord]

nope

[amber snow]

darn

they gotta add exotic components to the watch i dont wanna go into the dz

[worldly fjord]

that would take away all the grind

[amber snow]

its 75 exotic components for one gun on top of having to grind prof lvl 23

[worldly fjord]

115 for lvl 23 i think

[rugged stratus]

Its 115 exo components to level it to 23.
75 takes it to 21

Dont decon , and dont spend exo on something you arent 1000% gonna keep

[worldly fjord]

i would love a downgrading feature where you get a refund for the item

[amber snow]

can you still do the thing where if ur in a group in the dz u can open and steal at the same time?

[rugged stratus]

Ideally you'll want to expertise weapons that all the attributes are correct and talent is free to roll. That way you can change it if metas change

[worldly fjord]

i regret upgrading eagle bearer to 21

[rugged stratus]

I have very few weapons to 20. Only 1 skill to 23.
Most else is 11-15

[amber snow]

I'm at lvl 16 close to 17 and don't see myself going further than thay

I do wanna get my dark winter to 100k dmg tho which I think I need 18 for...

[grim linden]

Yo is countdown on heroric good for xp gain or should i just do open world?

[dense basalt]

Nah they fixed that

[grim linden]

@worldly fjord why is the new exotic better?

[worldly fjord]

open world is much better for xp

[worldly fjord]

?

[grim linden]

you said something about the eageal bearer

[grim linden]

this

[worldly fjord]

cause eagle bearer sucks kinda

i didnt say anything about any new one

[grim linden]

i just thought you regeted it cuz of the new st emo gun

[worldly fjord]

my elmo is 23 and it hits so hard

[opal vapor]

I have a problem with John Yazzie's final mission. Everytime I try to do the final part it always says "leave mission area before starting" even though I'm nowhere near the mission area.

[nimble spruce]

Do any side missions in the region first.

[opal vapor]

ok

[worldly kraken]

Guys how am I gonna get Fast leather belt

[inner tendon]

This should cover the project: https://www.gamesradar.com/division-2-exotic-holster-dodge-city-gunslinger-how-to-get-guide/

[magic comet]

Guys, I'm gonna get the division 2 soon. I've been playing the division 1 for some time, what weapons is meta in the division 2? I'm planning on grinding as soon as I get the game

[inner tendon]

There's a series of "heroic tier" builds 📌 over in #td2-build-advice > 📌 > spreadsheet > builds.
What is meta depends on the build.

[magic comet]

And is the division 2 kind of similar to the division 1?

[inner tendon]

Pretty much the same overall, but 2 is more "arcade" and 1 is more "rpg", although both are very arcade.

[blazing timber]

nearly same pfp is he your friend?

[inner tendon]

It's the Rogue symbol ingame, mine is a custom made one by a wonderful person on here.
it's basically a pride themed rogue icon.

[limber whale]

After getting 1000shd lvl would each next level gives scavenging material or only each 5th lvl?

[sudden matrix]

Every level will give a scavenging point.

[limber whale]

So to be clear - wony rerun at shd 500 will give 100 shd calibration (for example), at 1000 - 200 and at 1500 - 700?
Thats right?

[sudden matrix]

Once you are over 1000 SHD it's just your level -800.

[limber whale]

Wow quite unfair for new/low shd players tbh 😕
Thx for the answer👍🏻

[sudden matrix]

I'd suggest getting all 4 characters thru wony because you'll gain SHD on them aswell so it's like 4 levels when you level your main.

[rugged stratus]

not totally wrong, but longtime players did grind their levels, so the benefit is earned not granted.

even at shd 1000, you could push through wony in 2-3hrs. idk any other method of grinding that gives 60-100shd per hour.
for reference f10 summit was 60shd/hr with a solid strategy/team.
iirc, i think current open world grinding is around 20ish shd/hr

but i echo Souless, make all 4 agents, get 4x projects and shd gains as you climb

[earnest scroll]

Wdym unfair would you rather have the attributes gated behind higher levels? Such that you don't Max out at 1k but like idk 2k? Thats a lot worse for new players

[limber whale]

By “unfair” i mean that wony rerun should give same amount of materials to ANY player (for example fixed amount).
Another “unfair” thing is that till 1000 shd you get scavenging point only once per 5 lvls and after 1000 - just per each next lvl (so either ANY player should have 1 scavenging point per EACH lvl or after 1000 shd you should have +1 scav pt per 5 lvls not per each).
That’s just my huge imho - no offense to anyone guys!

[inner tendon]

The SHD watch bonuses are not exactly game-changers, they're pretty much just "nice to have" but most builds can easily work without them.
It's really not worth getting worked up over.

The only one you really need-need is CHC (crit chance), and maybe hazpro but that's more specific.

You also absolutely do not need to do WONY runs to get mats, a few runs of Countdown will get you plenty if you break stuff down.

[limber whale]

Well my question was specifically about rare mats like shd calibrations/field recon. That system with high-shd wony reruns seems quite unfair (at least for me).

[inner tendon]

Div2 is a "marathon" game. It's not meant to be sprinted to the finish line, you are very much meant to take months, even years to get there.
Why do you think it's unfair that people who have played more can grind more efficiently?

And again, it's not the only way to get those mats.

[limber whale]

Cause usually grind games work vice versa (the more you grind the harder becomes to get smth decent). So newbies can catch up pro-guys in some time…

[inner tendon]

That's really not the kind of game div2 is. You're not meant to just grind until you have the perfect set, you improve over time and even something that's 75% of the way there is more than capable of handling Heroic, which is where most of the player-base exist at.

This isn't like Des2 where you are supposed to immediately catch up to the endgame each season.

[blazing timber]

my new pfp what do you think?

[inner tendon]

I think it's incredibly fitting for your current name.

[loud saddle]

I can't unsee it as a div2 flower, lol

[inner tendon]

I was going to say slinky falling down stairs but I was feeling nice.

[loud saddle]

it's early, my filter hasn't kicked in yet 🫠 sorry

[limber whale]

Yeah probably you’re right. Just funny to see how some players trying to get some shd cals doing daily/weekly projects while some can get 1000+ with around same time doing another wony rerun lol

[inner tendon]

Well if you put in the time and effort you can too.
the lack of proofreading there is exactly my opinion on the necessity of WONY runs.

[limber whale]

Sorry can’t understand wdym with last sentence. Your idea was - when you can rerun wony for mats most efficiently you already don’t need it? That’s it?

[inner tendon]

There's plenty of other ways to gain mats you need, WONY runs are entirely just an option, they are not a requirement.

[thorn hedge]

Oops sorry

[inner tendon]

Lol that was adorable, but yeah.

[limber whale]

Nice foxes😃👍🏻

[inner tendon]

Okay I'm heading off for a while now, ya'll place nice.

[limber whale]

Yeah but this still doesn’t answer the question why till 1000 shd you get 1 scavenging point per 5 lvls and after 1000 - per each…

[thorn hedge]

Because devs said so

[limber whale]

Well let’s just call it - game loyalty bonus.

[thorn hedge]

Anyways what's y'all's fav part about this game

Mine is the foxes that run around because it's adorable

[limber whale]

Mine is visiting most Washington museums without a need to fly to USA 🤣

[thorn hedge]

Lol from personal experience the museums are much bigger in person, especially American history

[blazing timber]

foxes kneepads /s

[thorn hedge]

Mechanics wise lol

[blazing timber]

foam headhunter

[thorn hedge]

That's not what I meant 😭

[blazing timber]

you should try it get hh stacks shoot npcs in head and dead

[thorn hedge]

You should give a real response to my question

[blazing timber]

ok

[rugged stratus]

i mean, foam hh could be his favorite part of the game

[loud saddle]

favorite thing? maybe sticky launching shopping carts into the atmosphere....

\o/ fly!

[thorn hedge]

That's a genuine answer lol

Or the closed car doors counter

[blazing timber]

i like playing football with the cones on the road

dragging things across the map

[loud saddle]

damn cones....instantly start serpentining the cones

[thorn hedge]

Lol

[loud saddle]

it's either that or tossing a flame turret in the pentagon safehouse and watching people freak out when they spawn in and there are flames shooting everywhere....

[thorn hedge]

lol

[blazing timber]

recorded hh foam finally

[thorn hedge]

ok

[blazing timber]

let me cut the video it is 10 mins long 😂

died 2 times trying to pull it

[plucky mesa]

So sad that they removed HH proc on roadkill

[thorn hedge]

lol

[marble leaf]

what's the difference between dz caches and regular field caches

[swift grail]

i guess dz caches give you dz exclusive items, like system corruption pieces

[thorn hedge]

they can

[fallow inlet]

Hey Local, KIRRA

[loud saddle]

sup Saph

[rugged stratus]

Morning Saph

[exotic meteor]

missed a *

[blazing timber]

an to be precise

[boreal nexus]

new exotic ?

[blazing timber]

yeah meow legendary Capitol?

[boreal nexus]

ok

[amber snow]

What's the best mission to farm proficiency xp?

[inner tendon]

Countdown. Run it and donate what you get/break down the rest.

[amber snow]

Already did the donate part

I need to actually use the DZ named stuff and the exotics

[inner tendon]

You can donate mats for that.
break down time.

Also, while you're running Countdown, have a junk 2 other guns on and you'll passively level them.

[fallen onyx]

Hi, is it quicker to increase season levels by doing random heroic missions or summit/countdown?

[worldly fjord]

public executions is the way to go for now

[fallen onyx]

Okay thanks 👍🏻

[opal vapor]

Works now, thank you 👍

[true siren]

you already asked in one channel, no need to keep asking

[manic ice]

Squeaky wheel bro

[true siren]

anywhere else, sure, but not here- if people wanna help they'll look at the troubleshooting channel

[manic ice]

Is there a rule on what I can or can’t discuss in the community? Are you this discussion police? Buddy, I will ask as many times on as many channels as I need to resolve this. Thanks for chiming in tho

[true siren]

since you wanna be rule police it falls under rule 9 (Keep Conversations in Appropriate Channels) and Rule 2 (No Spamming)
Thanks for chiming in tho.

[manic ice]

Dammit, you win.

[true siren]

I'm not trying to go against you. I'm just keeping the discord tidy. I hope you figure out your issue, sounds like a pain.

[manic ice]

Dude, sorry I’m being snappy. Really f-ing frustrated with this issue and finding zero solutions. I’ll keep off the channels

[true siren]

i get the feeling, no worries dude

[earnest zealot]

Genuine question how does a red bar enemy do more damage to me than a juggernaut?

[nimble spruce]

protection from elites?

[earnest zealot]

I don't have any PFE mods on lol

my pfe is 0.0%

[foggy needle]

then the juggernauts/ tanks do way more damage

[earnest zealot]

they aren't able to hit me by the time I kill them

[earnest zealot]

how does one go about getting the Bloody Knuckles exotic gloves?

[vivid tiger]

Target Loot. Seen several dropped in DZ West today as well.

[earnest zealot]

ok cool thank you

time to go farm in the DZ then

[earnest zealot]

when is daily resets?

[vivid tiger]

3AM CST

You can always just run countdown or summit though with loot targeted to gloves.

[earnest zealot]

true

thanks again

[earnest zealot]

what is the best way to get Sweet dreems, and lady death?

same as bloody knuckles and just target loot farming it?

[civic lily]

targeted loot and pray to rngeses once every 5 minutes

[earnest zealot]

lol ok

[earnest zealot]

is there a specific area that's best?

[civic lily]

countdown on challenging

[earnest zealot]

okie

[soft knot]

For the St elmos engine do I need to get it through the event pass first?

or can I just farm it?

[earnest zealot]

I think event pass first but one of buddies got it before he got it in the season pass so idk

[worldly kraken]

Bruh

[sudden matrix]

It's just to show proof of the damage cap and what it looks like.
