[tame basin]

will be stash holder like Elmo's for me . And the smg will be all youtubers extreme mega overpowered non meta weapon.

[blazing timber]

as always divTubers new ClickBait with new season

[rain echo]

I wonder how that smg would do in a HF build

I still have my st elmos in my bp but I've been enjoying using my godrolled C7 or police m4

I guarantee you that smg will have a low drop rate

[blazing timber]

it's busted with hf

[rain echo]

Well considering HF is designed for smgs/shotties

[blazing timber]

with striker even more but is difficult to sustain with striker

[rain echo]

Well that smg gose through ammo so fast

So you would need something else to build those stacks

Rn for my strikers I'm using the non named vector for stack building

The non named version of thr dark winter

[blazing timber]

vector .54

but acs is hands down best for stacking

i use lefty sledgehammer and stacks

[rain echo]

I have non named God rolled ACS but I don't use it

It's collecting dust

[viscid root]

I find it annoying that the Shepherd ranks are separate per-character. I could easily have hit 50 by now if they were combined, but given I'm stuck with 10 on another character, the one I'm using most often is probably not going to make it even to 40 this week, 'cause I can't be bothered.

[blazing timber]

we get commendation for shepherd rank ?

[rain echo]

Apperantly?

I remember deck saying he got a commendation for reaching shep rank 25

[blazing timber]

bruh i fgaf about commendation

[stiff kestrel]

should i do descent mode im level 19 or should i get to endgame then do descent mode

[viscid root]

It's fine to do now; it's entirely disconnected from your current level and equipment except in the loot you get if you get far enough into descent. Try it out and see how you like it.

[fallen basin]

Has anyone been able to get into this room during the Hugh Carey Tunnel mission or even while free roaming? After clearing the main area, going up the ladder and then one flight of stairs, there is a room with loot, specialty ammo. I have shot the yellow fuse box, but no joy.

[stray forum]

Might be multiple

[stray forum]

Of electrical boxes

[stiff kestrel]

ok thanks

[viscid root]

Yes. To unlock it, t's just the one fuse box through the window where you're standing.

[fallen basin]

Yup, did it with 2 different toons and nothing happened. I'll try with the other 2 tomorrow. Thanks for the response

[fallen basin]

Could be one really obscure as I looked above and below that floor and only saw the one inside of the room. This also has rooms across the scaffolding that you can't get into with loads of loot as well.

[nimble spruce]

I've never had any issues getting in there, just shoot the one box through the window, go through that door in the chain link fence and the entrance is on your left.
Room across the scaffolding you can just jump in through some of the windows

[frail wadi]

do I just use an oxidizer if I want to destroy Basilisk armor?

[civic lily]

yes

oxidizer + sniper turret to keep him still was how I did it

[frail wadi]

i'm a technician, i am afraid the turret will kill him before i destroy all the armour

ohhh nvm i see how it works

i'm killing hostiles on mounted weapons in roosevelt island and i'm not getting progress towards the gunner field research , why is that?

is it bcs i am doing this on story?

[nimble spruce]

Could be, check the exact task requirements at the White House because the UI task tracker thing doesn't mention the required difficulty

[frail wadi]

yeh darn it

[rugged stratus]

you probably have this one already then. i didnt see a level 50 commendation, but maybe i missed it. if so, i know what im grinding next season 😅

[nimble spruce]

There are no further commendations or trophies or anything for getting above shepherd level 25.

[sudden matrix]

I sometimes see people with like 90+ shepherd rank. I don't even know how many hours that would take. I can barely manage 10-15 a season and still haven't ever hit 25.

[fallow inlet]

Hey Souless

[rugged stratus]

Rank 25 is only 183 endorsements, so like 92 backup calls is everyone endorses.
You can get them really quick. You just gotta grind up some xp to become eligible. It's a lot slower with shepherding <30 and pre-shd wony.

Shephers Rank 90 is like 645 endorsements tho, i dont think I'll be doing that anytime soon 😵‍💫

[nimble spruce]

Yeah I know a couple of people have farmed to 99 (it maxes out there) but it takes major dedication. Something to do once you have nothing else to farm for.

[sudden matrix]

Isn't it 15 for the first one? Also a lot of the time I get used as a revive hive complete the activity and then they leave and I get no endorsements. 100 backup calls with 2 endorsements every time sounds almost impossible. So 3-5 min matchmaking for 100 backup calls you are like 5-6 hours in just waiting not to mention the low level slow endorsements and do you just immediately leave once you get them? How long do you think it would take to get 25 rank hours wise without using a glitch exploit for endorsement?

[sudden matrix]

At this point I'm just looking to gain as much rank as possible and not actually shepherd. So should I join and if it's low level stuff just leave? If I get into a game and they don't give an endorsement and I get the xp one should I just leave after that? Like what is the fastest way to get this over with cause I feel like I'll never get it done if I actually shepherd people vs just get endorsements and dip.

[thorn hedge]

dont start until next season because reset is coming real soon

shepherd rank resets each season*

[sudden matrix]

It's prep work yo.

I know it's season based. I just kinda hate the rank system.

[thorn hedge]

yeah leave after endorsement

you get both endorsements at the same time iirc

[sudden matrix]

Not sure. I know one is player done and the other is xp related.

Not sure if you haven't gotten the player one and the xp one ticks you just get both tho.

[thorn hedge]

both go at the same time iirc

so you hit the level cap, you get one level and group leader can choose to add another

[sudden matrix]

Yeah but you wont get it if they don't do it. So once I get one, if they don't give the other I should just leave regardless right?

[thorn hedge]

yeah

but maybe wait like a minute for them to endorse lol

[sudden matrix]

Gib endorsement.

[rugged stratus]

i dont matchmake for it. if i get a call for backup i just go. ill usually try and finish whatever it is they are calling for and if open world i try and find a close small action and get my single endorsement rergardless if they provide the second

[wanton frigate]

can you get lv40 loot from dz as a lv30 chara??

[sudden matrix]

Yeah I think I'm going to match make for backups while farming/working on stuff and then get my endorsements and dip next season. Or I might just become incursion bro and speed run that.

[rugged stratus]

also, how do figure someone can glitch/exploit an endorsement? friends and clan members are not allowed to endorse.

timewise i think you could do 2 backups a day with endorsements and easily complete before season end

[sudden matrix]

I don't figure nor care about that. Is there a way? Maybe, this game is bug riddled.

[rugged stratus]

your previous statement mentions it, thats why i asked...

[sudden matrix]

Yeah I was just wondering how long it would take and because exploits/glitches are so plentiful I figured I should make sure to mention without them. I did get one dm talking about a work around to go faster with it but I'm not interested in that stuff.

[merry anchor]

what skill effective do ?

[sudden matrix]

Skill efficiency? Is that what you mean?

[merry anchor]

ya

the rare one i think

[foggy needle]

it gives boosts to almost all skill stats (1 to 1 ratio

[sudden matrix]

Some werido made this spreadsheet. It's in there.

[foggy needle]

HOW DARE YOU, but also fair 😛

pinned in #td2-build-advice

[sudden matrix]

Yeah please go poke around the spreadsheet, it's a wealth of knowledge.

[rugged stratus]

no idea, tbh.
its really easy to get endorsements tho. its not great matchmaking for it. im kinda choosy and dont hit up <30, pre shd wony, or legendary calls... those dont really give you an opportunity to rack up xp quick and waste a lot of time.

[wanton frigate]

yeh normal mode lv28 rando calling for help

[sudden matrix]

I just figure match making would be quicker. I sometimes don't see a call pop up for extended times but I almost never play solo too so maybe that's why I don't see them.

I think my biggest thing is I actually help people when I shepherd vs get endorsements and dip. I'll help with builds, farming, xp grinding, getting raids, teaching them legendary. All the things. I just gotta get endorsements and dip, should be ez if I do that.

[rugged stratus]

yeah it will be

you can swap map over to shd tab and sometimes youll see 2-3 popped up even if you only got indication for 1

[sudden matrix]

Yeah sometimes I'd just sit on that map waiting but then started to match make as it was quicker vs waiting for it to ping you. Also sucks when you go to do one and it's not joinable or something. Regardless the lesson is don't help people, get endorsements and leave and just leave low level stuff cause your endorsements will take too long.

[nova vector]

If me and my friend are in a party and I get an exotic drop that he needs am I able to give it to him?

[civic lily]

yes

[nova vector]

ty

[sudden matrix]

Just make sure you drop it within the sharable time. I forget exactly how long it is, like 30-45 minutes.

[foggy needle]

it shows you when you look at the item, at its bottom section, who you can share it too and time left (ie its the people that were in your party at time of drop)

[nova vector]

If I have 60% Crit chance and am wearing Coyote's Mask, will I be able to go over the 60% cap?

[wispy merlin]

no

[foggy needle]

its a hard cap

[tough marsh]

Za werido

[sudden matrix]

A zur werido man X 32

[viscid root]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I have that one. I think I was actually running the patch for a while.

[viscid root]

Yeah, that's pretty much the way I run. I don't expect more than about a 50% endorsement rate.

[blazing timber]

focused weirdo

[fallow inlet]

Hey Azurmen32

[prime ginkgo]

i have the dlc and for some reason i am not going past lvl 30? do i need to finish it first?

[foggy needle]

you have to go to NYC to start the DLC

[prime ginkgo]

so i do need to do the dlc for lvl 40?

[foggy needle]

need to be world tier 5 to head over (talk to the pilot on the white house lawn)

no, DLC starts at lv 30, world tier 5

[sudden matrix]

Idk the world tier climb is pretty bleh.

[prime ginkgo]

i didnt even know there was world tiers hahaha

thanks for the info

[foggy needle]

see the pins in this channel for story order (if you care about that) world tiers is more story.

[civic lily]

your telling me this channel doesn't have the spreadsheet?😭

[prime ginkgo]

guessing i need to do the stronghold missions to unlock world tiers?

[foggy needle]

check the pins 😛

[prime ginkgo]

i mean i am lvl 30 and have no quest or anything to select specialist

[foggy needle]

send screen shot of your projects (quests) window please

[prime ginkgo]

i am guessing i need to 100% main story then i unlock it?

[foggy needle]

see on the left side it lists your "priority: main missions"

[sudden matrix]

Projects completion.... Nice.

[prime ginkgo]

hahahaha

[foggy needle]

also been a LONG while since i started a new toon, so dont exactly remember when you pick your 1st spec, i think it was after clearing the 1st invaded mission?

[prime ginkgo]

ah ok so have a bit more to go

[foggy needle]

could you send screen shot of your projects menu from the map.

[prime ginkgo]

its empty

[foggy needle]

screen shot still please

[foggy needle]

👍 had to ask. get people that say "its empty" then send screen shot of wrong menu 🤣

[prime ginkgo]

hahaha all good. i have done everything on the map i can right now apart for the main story

[foggy needle]

so yea, go complete your 1st invaded Prio mission to progress

[prime ginkgo]

ye ok thanks

[prime ginkgo]

had to do captial hill to unlock world tier 1

[sudden matrix]

iirc you've gotta do the invaded missions then another strong hold over and over until you've got wt5.

[prime ginkgo]

oh fun

[rugged stratus]

Once you get your fill of that rinse and repeat you can just boost and goto wony

[prime ginkgo]

goto wony?

[foggy needle]

wony = NY dlc (its warlords of NY)

[prime ginkgo]

ah ok... didnt know there was a shorter name for it mb

[foggy needle]

np

also the WT climb is more story, if you dont care about that you can skip straight to DLC (use in game booster) your choice

[prime ginkgo]

may as well do it

[sudden matrix]

Warlords Of NewYork.

[prime ginkgo]

is there a signature weapon tier list or something

[sudden matrix]

There are best sig weapons but the spec you pick has other benefits that are greater than the weapon it provides.

[foggy needle]

you pick the Spec for the perks it gives, the sig weapon really doesnt matter for the most part

[prime ginkgo]

ah ok mint

[narrow kraken]

Can anybody tell me why I can’t get the marksman rifle to deconstruct in tidal basin? Because it gave me a D50 in that room with the keycard and todays targeted loot is gear mods. And I’m trying to get all the parts for the Nemesis.

[civic lily]

check stash for the gun or if you already have the exo scope for it. I don't think you can get a 2nd andrensia once you already got one

[clever fjord]

For anyone that has 2 or more characters what are some tips for balancing between the characters since i have trouble with taking builds from the stash that the other character currently has equipped. Same goes for mods

[inner tendon]

@narrow kraken If you have any parts to it on your character, and/or a Nemesis on that char or in your Stash, you can't get the Adrestia.

[blazing timber]

you can simply divide the mods between characters no need to send it to stash and stuff as it creates problems

i have 2 character

both have different sets of builds to Remove conflicts between characters

it helps with you not need to carry every build while still able to enjoy it on another character without conflicts

for primary i have hh dps cc healer oxi mortar for secondary drone turrent dps red fi

i have used my 2nd character for build variation for 1st char i have hhf for 2nd i have dps headhunter

[frail wadi]

where was that spreadsheet with various builds?

i'm working on a gunner set with 4 striker, coyote and elmo and I was interested in stats that I should look for

and how much of them i should have

[blazing timber]

#td2-build-advice

[frail wadi]

thanks!

[prime ginkgo]

when does this season end?

[rugged stratus]

Soon™

[narrow kraken]

for some reason i cant equip this pistol anymore and its not marked as anythign

[carmine flicker]

You need to equip the survivalist spec

[narrow kraken]

ho do u kno that

[carmine flicker]

Well it literally has “survivalist” in the name, and is unlocked by putting points into that spec

If you switch to another spec with that pistol equipped then you will switch to a different pistol

And if you don’t have another usable pistol the the game will just give you one

[narrow kraken]

Ok ty

[prime ginkgo]

how hard are the raids? do i need a party?

[blazing timber]

yeah 8 players

[prime ginkgo]

ah ok thanks

alot of people running them or?

[regal summit]

The raid community isn't super big, but very dedicated. It's not difficult to find raids, you just can't matchmake for the normal version (and tbh you wouldn't want to).

[prime ginkgo]

ok thanks

guessing there isnt a big difference between normal loot and the ones in the raid

[regal summit]

The loot on a raid is about heroic level, what makes it special are the raid-obtainable exotics.

[prime ginkgo]

ooo ok

[frail wadi]

is the game lag sensitive? I was in a countdown with 130~ ms and couldn't shoot my weapon

[thorn hedge]

the ping has nothing to do with that mate

[spark crater]

What's drop rate for ninja bike bag. It's taking forever and ive already played limtless cd rounds and opened ton kf exotic caches, but nothing so far...

[thorn hedge]

i believe its 5% on heroic

[spark crater]

Insane

[thorn hedge]

wait no

hold on

[spark crater]

Early players are great advantage since exotic loot pool was small and could easily get all of em

[thorn hedge]

yeah i think thats about right could be wrong

[spark crater]

Shit's crazy now to farm a target exotic gear

[thorn hedge]

unless its just the base 0.008%

i dont think it is because TL

[wanton frigate]

is fragile armor directive glitched?? repairing doesn't remove the debuff..

[thorn hedge]

yes

[frail wadi]

Weird

[rugged stratus]

Really it isnt that bad. Tbf a good % of the exotics available are only worth the exotic component they break into anyways.
Weapons exo have a better drop rate that gear exo ofc.
Being able to farm countdown for guaranteed exotic caches is a pretty big deal that didnt exist until pretty recently.

Ninja bike bag falls into that only worth the component category btw 😅

[spark crater]

Flawed

Ninjabike is essential for my gear set builds

Definitely top tier exotic

[rugged stratus]

Your builds are flawed... your loss of a backpack talent will never be made up for by the trivial brand bonuses you can unlock with nbb

[rugged stratus]

Yeah no

[spark crater]

Stats > talent

[rugged stratus]

You would be better off with memento if you want the 3 cores

[rugged stratus]

What stats?
You lose chance at total weapon damage, or total skill damage which is a modifier aside from red cores or skill damage. Huge damage loss

[wispy merlin]

talents are almost always better than straight stats

gear talents even more so than weapon talents

[true siren]

ninjabike is good if you want to, like, level multiple gearsets at once, but even then...

[rugged stratus]

Nah man, it's a net loss all the way around. you can use HH and vigilance and have any other 4 pieces rolled red and level faster than nbb cobbled together build

I'll grant nbb can make some interesting semi usable hybrids but they will never outperform anything on any level.

Could probably slap in memento and get way more attributes from its talent than you could ever unlock with nbb

[true siren]

i'm aware its a net loss all around but if you arent looking for a competent build and just want to level as much stuff as possible, NBB is a (albiet bad) way of doing it

[rugged stratus]

Glad we agree 🤔

[true siren]

[wispy merlin]

definitely one of the ways of doing it

[exotic bough]

Both raids are easy as long as you have the minimum loadouts and what you need to have with you , the google doc will help you a lot ( the spreadsheet)

[prime ginkgo]

Ok thanks

[inner tendon]

If you want to try a raid, make sure you do Dark Hours first. It's basically just a DPS check with some minor mechanics.

[exotic bough]

Came from Destiny 2 , and someone told me these raids are hard af , we did it as 6 man 😐 with only minimum of a grind but ofc once a week

[inner tendon]

@exotic bough The div2 Raids are more comparable to the shorter ones in des2, like Scourge of the Past, etc.

similar with mechanics too.

[exotic bough]

Scourge eh , was fast and easy same as levi , but crota on master peeps can't shoot straight

Any advice on how to level up the Expertise quick enough ?

because i'm having a hard time

[inner tendon]

Iron Horse is somewhere on a scale between Scourge and Garden, although it is a lot shorter than the latter.
Expertise? Well my go to is always just to say: Countdown. TL what you need and donate everything that you can.
Here's my official list for what to do with loot post Lvl 40:
Recal Library > Expertise > Decon > Sell.

[exotic bough]

I wouldn't say garden at all , But more like Vault of glass would be the best example lmfao

but thank you ❤️

[inner tendon]

Yeah I stopped playing des2 when they stole half my planets, so Garden was my official last Raid.

[exotic bough]

Oh damn !! , you should try crota tho it's free for everyone

[inner tendon]

I'll look into it, but at this point I just don't see the reason to go back.
I got my Blacksmith title, I'm happy.

@maiden wyvern Running activities in the LZ (Executions, Bounties, etc) in between CP's will get you there if you just knuckle down and grind.
However: St Elmo's will also be officially added to the LZ (open world) loot pool next Season anyway, so no need to rush.

[crude falcon]

do we have ETA for year 5 ss2 ?

[inner tendon]

There's going to be a stream (as announced over in #news-and-announcements), that will probably have more info.
It'll be posted on here afterwards.

[crude falcon]

hmm thanks, looking forwarad to the stream

[prime ginkgo]

I am guessing the raids in this game are more of a overwhelming large amount of enemies then anything.

[prime ginkgo]

is there a gear score cap?

[wanton frigate]

used to be they got rid of it

[prime ginkgo]

ah ok cool thanks

[sharp yacht]

How do I play the other manhunts? During this season I got a stovepipe manhunt and another manhunt

[thorn hedge]

You unlock the main missions on the seasons reward track

[true siren]

that isnt true generally

[thorn hedge]

You sure you didn't miss one

[quiet cypress]

whats the best way and fastest way to level up ?

[rugged stratus]

open world activities. minimum challenging, heroic prefered. as many directives as you can comfortably deal with.
propaganda, executions, and control points are best xp for the time you spend.
the area north of tidal has a lot of those things close together. if you keep circling and completing the small stuff around washington monument, by the time you make it all the way around the original stuff has a chance to repopulate with another activity

[spark crater]

The core attributes are locked for ninja bike bag right?

Weapon damage + armor

[clever fjord]

Yes

All exotics have locked in attributes except for a couple

iirc sacrum and elmo's

[spark crater]

Epico , finally bag secured

[rugged stratus]

You misspelled component 😅

[spark crater]

🤓 actually it's component

[mellow trout]

Ain't been on in a while; is determined still broken

As in extremely powerful

[blazing timber]

yup

[mellow trout]

Back to white death/chainkiller control point farming it is then

[rugged stratus]

Get it get it

[spark crater]

Were there any Halloween events/dlc's in the past?

[thorn hedge]

No

One was planned but never happened

[rigid spade]

Hello guys. I just finished the story. Does anyone know what wordrank does and is it good to increase it?

[spark crater]

You didn't finish dc campaign unless you increase your world rank

[rugged stratus]

World tiers hold more story to wt5 then there is a bit mor in warlords of ny expansion.
I think the pins in this channel has a story guide

[rigid spade]

Ok thanks. I don't have the expansion yet. That explains why it feels weird to increase the level by just doing the Tusk bases over and over again.

[rugged stratus]

Yeah it's a bit of a hamster wheel to extend the original pre-expansion endgame.
Wony is worth it tho so what it goes on sale grab it 🍻

[hollow plover]

I did the 4 ny hunters yesterday and one of them didn't drop the mask or key what should I do? Is there anything I can do?

[jade summit]

Can this game feel good to play at 60 FPS?

[thorn hedge]

Yes

[fallow inlet]

Hey Eevee, Local

[rugged stratus]

Good evening Saph 🍻

[narrow matrix]

When does the season end?

Is it Tuesday?

[dense basalt]

Hopefully we find out in live stream Monday

[narrow matrix]

Okay, I haven’t done any of the manhunt sadly

[spark crater]

Dont worry the castle will be basically rebuilt

[next perch]

Any one knows why this happens sometimes.
When I fire my primary weapon,I sometimes change to my 2nd even though I don't initiate the change.

Why does it do that??

[nimble spruce]

Mouse wheel got nudged maybe?

[blazing timber]

you use shield?

[nocturne grove]

For a striker build, using memonto backpack, is it fine to have 2 blue gear items pieces followed by red?
It gives a bit of sustain during combat.
Overall, I get about 1.3M armor.

[next perch]

Nope.
Quite frustrating especially when my primary is an AR and my secondary is a marksman rifle

[rugged stratus]

I mean it's less damage. more preference with how many blue cores you run. Most pve setups just use 6red striker. You could do something with memento and picaros and have 2blue 6red 1 yellow. Itll be 3 shield tiers, but if use tech class free yellow can bump it to 4 shield tiers.

[wanton frigate]

question in the seasons award, you sometimes have old manhunts available. how they work? can you activate older manhunts>>

[rugged stratus]

Usually mid season track you get access to the final targets of each.
Usually you just have to goto the mission and switch mission mode on difficulty screen (I think hold g on pc to swap mode)
It's the same thing with switching from invaded to normal mission if they are part of league speedrun challenges👍

[wanton frigate]

thanks

[lost barn]

Are they going to release new content tomorrow?

[turbid igloo]

Idek if the castle existed before being bombed

I don't remember the 2019 memories

God my mind needs a cleanup

[nimble spruce]

The first time you visit castle in the original story it's just been bombed - you find survivors in an underground bunker and evacuate them to theatre

[nimble spruce]

Probably but they're not giving a release date until the livestream in an hour or two, so we don't know yet

[lost barn]

Thanks kettle

[tame basin]

yes

[crude falcon]

is there any recap for next day update ?

[thorn hedge]

wdym recap

[crude falcon]

nvm, i see i can read the change log in official website

[tame basin]

Here is the meta (Melt them in secounds) build with Ninja backpack

[civic lily]

I was expecting something actually "crazy" but nope lol

[rugged stratus]

🤣 I'm sure. Bunch of new god builds incoming 😅

[civic lily]

mind the 4 pixels worth of view

[blazing timber]

bruh if it was all rolled red i would say it is okayish but it is uber trash

[civic lily]

melts hunters in seconds

[tame basin]

All builds on pinned posts are trash compared to this one

[foggy field]

are there any useful links for D2 like a build crafter or something?

[foggy needle]

very much soo, pinned in #td2-build-advice channel, that spreadsheet has lots of links too

[narrow kraken]

Just want to check something if that's OK - how often does Yaahl gear appear in the DZ vendors?

[noble flax]

Hihi all. Been a long time owner but I'm just coing back after about 2 years. When I left I was using the Capacitor turret/drone build and a Diamondback build. It was okay but I got bored and couldn't find a "forward facing" aggressive build to play at Heroic difficulty that I likes. Playing again so I'm wondering if there's an omnibus of current builds I could look through for suggestions.

[dense basalt]

Just random but also check clan vendor

[narrow kraken]

I appreciates you
Will have to check the next time I'm on, if I can craft any of the ones I need

[dense basalt]

Check the pins in #td2-build-advice tons of current builds in spreadsheet

[noble flax]

You rock, tyty

[acoustic folio]

Is god rolled considered a drop that has maxed out attributes?

[icy crystal]

max stats + dttooc if possible is usually widely accepted as a god roll

[acoustic folio]

Okay thanks

[icy crystal]

or anything that you don’t have to recalibrate stats for

allowing you to change the talent to whatever situation fits best

[sudden matrix]

It can mean a few things depending on who you ask tho.

[icy crystal]

or item

[sudden matrix]

Just think Max rolls/best in slot stats type stuff and it's along those lines.

[acoustic folio]

So ppl just actualy grind for those maxed out items rather then optimize them? Cus optimizing looks like it need alot of supplies and time

[inner tendon]

The usual suggested method is to farm until your item is about 80-90% perfect (with a single recal making it a godroll), and then optimise the last 10-20%.

[acoustic folio]

I see now thanks everyone!

[sudden matrix]

Depends. Certain things are easier to get than others. Certain named items and talent/stat combos are hard to come by so just getting one is best.

[narrow kraken]

I picked up the first Gift I saw, and optimised the heck out of it. Spent a lot on getting that into a decent condition, I think I've gotten maybe half a dozen to drop, and I've been playing on/off (29 days played) since launch.
@acoustic folio one thing I'm appreciative that I did early on, is stash all the 100% stuff I earned, even if the attributes seemed out of place (skill pieces with maxed defence atts, for example). I'll come across a build on YouTube, and it'll be this ultra-specific thing with seemingly the most random core combinations that just come together right at the end. I've just had a lot of those things sat gathering dust already, which was helpful

[nimble spruce]

Oof, pro hoarding and pro YouTube builds

That's gonna be fun in the long run

[narrow kraken]

People play how they play. My way isn't any worse than yours

[nimble spruce]

Until you run out of storage space

[narrow kraken]

I've been 290+/300 for years. Considering the amount of times I'm seeing more stash space being asked for, I don't think it's out of the ordinary either

[nimble spruce]

I guess if you stick to the lower difficulties you don't get many max rolled items, so you don't fill the storage so fast. Plus if you stick to YouTube builds, you probably don't find lower difficulties boringly easy, so it works ok

[narrow kraken]

Exclusively play on Heroic and Legendary.
Really not a fan of you talking down to me as much as you are though.

[nimble spruce]

You must be doing a lot more filtering of what you choose to store than you say you are, then, because there is no way you wouldn't end up maxing your storage with random junk in weeks

[narrow kraken]

It doesn't matter what I'm doing, and how I'm choosing to manage my inventory. Just please stop insulting me for it.

[nimble spruce]

The devs have made it very clear that they won't be increasing storage again, and encouraging people to hoard crap just because it has max rolls is setting them up for frustration, I'm not trying to insult you, I'm trying to avoid what I see as bad advice being given

On the YouTube front, there are good builds on there of course, but there are also thousands of bad ones and a new player is unlikely to be able to spot the difference

I realise I was a bit harsh though, I do apologise for the offense I have caused

[narrow kraken]

You were making snide comments, and I could see right through it. There's pointing out bad advice, and essentially saying "well it's OK, you're probably not that good anyway".
Similarly, YouTube builds are where a lot of players start especially in areas they don't know, and it's up to them to refine it to what they need. I'm not terribly sure why this is bad advice.

[eternal plank]

new episode of Hoarders?

[nimble spruce]

I mean, there's probably plenty of players who legitimately do have fun playing with weak builds on lower difficulties, and as you said there's nothing wrong with that, no reason to be competitive, so yes I was unnecessarily snide.

Since we're in a discord that has an excellent spreadsheet of the strongest builds pinned in #td2-build-advice though, I still wouldn't send people to YouTube instead

[narrow kraken]

I've got a clip of me one-shotting four Hunters on Heroic in nine seconds, with a build that I got the foundations for from YouTube.
Some builds just need it to be talked through, and some folks (for whichever reason) can only learn by watching rather than reading through spreadsheets. Granted, let's pile on them and belittle them for it though. Fantastic idea.

[true siren]

Krwztof, lets tone it down a bit. Kettle already apologized.

[nimble spruce]

YouTubers have strong financial incentives to keep producing regular content, and the number of top tier builds is quite limited, so naturally they end up producing endless, increasingly bad variations, and hyping them up with unrealistic claims. Perhaps it was fine in the early days of the game, but these days the ratio of gold to dross is about 1000 to 1

[carmine flicker]

Like I know we all like making fun of youtube builds in here but you could’ve at least directed the guy towards the spreadsheet earlier

[narrow kraken]

All good, I've blocked them so it's all done with. I don't want to derail this channel with an argument, but I'm always going to defend myself. Everyones' way of playing the game is valid, and if it's really not, educate them kindly. Don't talk down to them for it.
Apologies to all the folks that are preferring to see other sorts of comments here today.

[drowsy spire]

can someone help?

[amber snow]

xp the same?

[mellow trout]

What's the rundown on paradise lost

[sudden matrix]

Have you guys restarted ubi launcher?

[mellow trout]

Turrets are shredding

[sudden matrix]

Everyone is new to the incursion so I wouldn't expect anyone to know anything about it.

[mellow trout]

Can't even get close without getting melted

[sudden matrix]

You doing this solo?

[mellow trout]

Nah 4 man randoms

[sudden matrix]

ouch. No tank builds set up then?

[mellow trout]

I was using one and got melted anyway haha

[sudden matrix]

I make some 100% haz pro shield builds wonder how they'll fair.

Wonder if you can jam the turrets.

[mellow trout]

I'll check now

[sudden matrix]

I'm at work so I can't test anything so let me know.

[mellow trout]

Oh shit you can

[rain echo]

that sniper is annoying as well the unlimited ads dont help ether

[mellow trout]

Still no idea how you destroy them though

[mellow trout]

Initially I tried killing all the ads but they don't stop coming goddamn

[rain echo]

mortars force you outta cover then the sniper aimbots you

[mellow trout]

It's rough

[rain echo]

no way 4 dps are doing it

[sudden matrix]

You guys listening to the coms as you enter? They might be indirectly telling you what you need to do.

[rain echo]

bruh 3rd time

[sudden matrix]

The subs the only thing they say?

[mellow trout]

Kelso doesn't mention anything

[sudden matrix]

dang well in IH raid the coms kinda told you stuff, might still be a thing later in this tho.

Sounds like you need tanks/healers for the part tho.

[mellow trout]

Absolutely

DPS is not cutting it

[sudden matrix]

Up in general they are talking about a switch somewhere tho. idk like I said I'm at work. Sounds like it's already been cleared tho.

[mellow trout]

Yeah there's a wire coming from the main gate

[rain echo]

well we got past the first part

[mellow trout]

And the turrets have cables going behind said gate

Idk where the switch is tho

[sudden matrix]

Youtube guides coming in the next hour or two I bet.

[mellow trout]

Likely

[rain echo]

@sudden matrix

[sudden matrix]

ty

Hell yeah, pistolero is my jam.

[mellow trout]

I wish I was good with the regulus but console

[blazing timber]

with ouroboros gonna be nice

no refen best dorective

[sudden matrix]

HF will regen you just fine tho.

[blazing timber]

i am talking about free xp directive

cause weapon swap negates this directive

[foggy pendant]

so how do you get exotics from previous seasons

[rugged stratus]

they are added to the loot pool generally. sometimes there are delays but i think everything from the other seasons are already in now

[rain echo]

anyone guess what exo dropped?

[amber snow]

$100 on eagle bearer

[rain echo]

only avaible in raids and DZ ;/

ill give you guys a hint its not armor its a weapon and its a primary

[sudden matrix]

The one you deconstruct?

At this point I'd suspect one of the new season weapons tho.

[rain echo]

it was the imperial scrantum

[amber snow]

def an insta deconstruct

[sudden matrix]

Wonder if it'll be like last season where you can get the season exotics before you hit the level.

[rain echo]

it was maxed rolled though ill keep it throw it on a altcharacter and mess around with it

is it me or did the enemies get more tanky this season?

[valid bronze]

Probably doesn't even drop at all from TL like st Elmo last season

[plucky mesa]

Elmo's dropped even if you hadn't unlocked in the Season rewards

[valid bronze]

Yes but it wasn't in targeted loot

It was a random drop

[plucky mesa]

How do you know?

[valid bronze]

Because it was in the patch notes and I can read

[plucky mesa]

well done you

[valid bronze]

Crazy

[plucky mesa]

That's after the season ends.

Happens to all Exotics

[valid bronze]

I mean you are wrong but ok

It was during season

[plucky mesa]

devs don't know what's happening

[valid bronze]

Neither do you🤣

[plucky mesa]

cant target loot Elmo's but can drop as Random

[valid bronze]

Yea it doesn't make any sense

[plucky mesa]

Unless you're a Trello troll, I doubt most of the community does

[valid bronze]

I'm sure the drop for new stuff is bugged

It's been like that since HB came out, catharsis had issues too

For a long time

[torn pine]

Apparel Event's Nexus skin looks kind of out of place 😐

[lost barn]

Is there a new season build like chavalier we had?

[wide wagon]

man.. dis cavalier is really good for tha 3rd boss

[sudden matrix]

https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/game/the-division/the-division-2/news-updates/1yBARPbXSYwkKmgCPyqHWa

[lyric basin]

How ppl doing against Lovebirds?

[narrow kraken]

if i play one of the legacy manhunts am i going to get the drops and xp for it?

[marble leaf]

how to counter lovebird sniper

[narrow kraken]

The comment was, "this is the most difficult content to date". How's general sentiment on that so far?

[sudden matrix]

It's not.

Some of the first clears were around an hour and a half or less. I'm not sure how it'll stack once it's figured out and BIS builds are made tho.

At this point I'm gonna guess it's on par with some of the legendary missions.

[narrow kraken]

Interesting. I've got my tank build relatively viable for Legendary, but I'm finding it relies heavily on the team output. Four of us doing that is going to turn that hour and a half into twice that.
Would you recommend trying to find proper teammates for this, or did you just matchmake for it @sudden matrix?

[fresh inlet]

legendary missions are wayyy easier

incursion are like raids but less people n more tanky enemies tbh

[narrow kraken]

I kinda want to take my sniper build in and see how far I can get before flaming out spectacularly. Haven't done an incursion before

[sudden matrix]

I'm pretty sure the first clears of some of the lego missions were around the same time. Most people are saying it feels like heroic enemies. It's just got mechanics which means you need to communicate with people at least until is figured out and simplified.

[fresh inlet]

not the end the nd n middle are wayy more tankier

randoms strand no chance btw in certain parts if they dont know mechanics tbh

[narrow kraken]

So this is a, be as tanky as possible until you get more confident and can take more risks. OK

[sudden matrix]

Honestly take a group of randoms into tidal lego or manning and it's a crap fest. This is the same thing.

[fresh inlet]

nahh this is more

[sudden matrix]

Sure.

[fresh inlet]

its liek be dps bu also dontr be all dps or youll gte smoked

[sudden matrix]

At this point it's a difference of opinion, so you have yours and I've got mine.

[fresh inlet]

the heat seeking turrets tho n sniper turrenrts in the end take like 3 people to kill trust me its diffucult even for a good playes

[narrow kraken]

Ah, the ole 'be everything and do everything' scenario. Nice!
I think Ouro is worth it though. On paper, with equivalent builds, it feels like it massively outshines practically everything else. Even Elmo, even the FAMAS

Probably even the FAMAS from Black Ops 1 (pre-nerf even)

[fresh inlet]

it got nerfed sadly to say if u didnt know

[narrow kraken]

10% FR isn't enough to drop it from best in class imo. It's still right up there, I can't say until I manage to stumble through an Incursion clear, get it first time then never touch it again

[fresh inlet]

but no when i say it takes teams usually 1 hr or more to do the full thing thats not just beacuse its day 1 its also because the enemeies are wayy tankier then u think n they have mechanics like foam in IH where u cant move tht make it more annoying tbh

[narrow kraken]

Kinda feel like it's worth refining a skill repair/heal build before going in. Don't see many of those these days, even in Leg

[fresh inlet]

tbh u wanna run ether healer or mainly dps n armor hybrid builds

[narrow kraken]

Thanks for the advice buddy. Good luck with your runs ❤️

[vale stone]

how do you get the collectible in incursion that's next to the vault? (after the bar fight)

[sudden matrix]

I see healer in tons of lego runs. Go to the #td2-build-advice channel and go to the pinned message for the spreadsheet. In the build hubs tab there is the healer build you should use.

[marble leaf]

there's a power box you can take the fuse out

[marble leaf]

and in another room you can grab a key in the cabinet

[vale stone]

got the one downstairs in the tunnels, just wondering how to get the one before it

it's directly after the boss fight, next to the vault

[narrow kraken]

Maybe we run in different circles. I don't see many, still see a lot of red builds. See a lot of Elmo/Galv red/blue builds, a lot of status. Healer every maybe... 1 in 5 at the moment which is a shame
(Yeah, that's the build I use)

[marble leaf]

oh that im not sure i dont recall seeing it

[sudden matrix]

I usually play with friends and not so much randoms. So it'll be 3 dps-1 cc or 1 dps will swap healer depending on mission/people with us.

[narrow kraken]

There it is. You folks sync. When I was in a clan, we had a healer every time.
I think the 'safe' option for folks matchmaking into Legendary (not a smart thing to do by default really to be honest) is a vague plan along the lines of, do medium amounts of damage and not die

Crusaders all over the place, a lot of Unbreakable/Vig red builds. Think I need to find a proper team for Div 3

[cedar yacht]

Div 3 isnt in production yet

💀

[narrow kraken]

Good planning doesn't have a timeline, either

Join one today, have a good team ready to go with two/three years' experience teaming up together. Profit

[wispy merlin]

i run full red a lot and as long as my matchmade team doesn't actively grief me i can carry them. this holds for the first 3 legos but not the last 2

[sudden matrix]

Sounds painful tbh. Most legos are easy enough to just have some extra bodies around to make it easy. I find skill people can help with randoms because their skills pull aggro if they keep them up.

[narrow kraken]

It is painful, but for some folks it's easier than getting to know people. That's just the way it is

[blazing timber]

free rn ?

[pseudo tundra]

how is this possible

[wispy merlin]

@ work

[blazing timber]

ok

Paradise lost last part

[narrow kraken]

How is what possible?

[cedar yacht]

?

[sudden matrix]

That's gotta be a troll or somthing.

[civic lily]

I don't see the problem

[narrow kraken]

I think the question's about to be, "how is a SHD500 using blue stuff" but I'll wait first

Might be a naive suggestion, but in other games you can hamstring your gear score and it'll prevent you from getting matchmade with others. Wonder if that's part of it?

[pseudo tundra]

yeah it's someone using blue gear at lv 500 and trying incursion

[narrow kraken]

Oh good lord. OK, that's a valid question then

I'm sorry that happened to you

[foggy needle]

if its the same as other MM in this game then it does not match by gear just 1st come 1st serve.

[narrow kraken]

Yeah, thought that might be the case. Haven't seen it in either Division game, I don't think

[lime geyser]

does turret drone build be good in the new incursion? 🙂

[vale stone]

any1 know how to get the comms after bar fight?

[narrow matrix]

Does the new QOL change to legacy manhunts allow you to find comms for previous manhunts? And complete the sets?

[nimble spruce]

They mentioned this in the stream yesterday, the answer was 'not yet but we plan on adding it at some point'

[narrow matrix]

Thank u

Tried finishing manhunt last night but wasn’t used to the new design

[paper plank]

hello I don't know if I'm in the right place but impossible to launch the division 2 I uninstalled and reinstalled with this error can you help me and with that I have an error 0xc0000142 thank you

[solid agate]

I think you are looking for #unofficial-troubleshooting, but that error indicates that EAC detected that .dll as a modified file

iirc that file is from Visual C

try updating their package and see how it goes

[sudden matrix]

Can't you delete said file, validate files, hope it works?

[paper plank]

do you have a link to update?

[paper plank]

Which file should I delete?

[solid agate]

It's a Microsoft redistributable, usually installed alongside Visual Studio, should be fairly easy to find

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/Download/confirmation.aspx?id=52685

[paper plank]

error 0X80070666

[sudden matrix]

Pretty sure validating your files will reintall those visual studio packages anyway.

[narrow kraken]

if i play one of the legacy manhunts am i going to get the drops and xp for it?

[paper plank]

he tried but at one point it gave me this error

[solid agate]

moving this to the proper channel, which is #unofficial-troubleshooting

[paper plank]

ok

[amber estuary]

Hello, has anyone encountered a problem where the update download fails to initiate?
• Tried Restarting the Uplay, download etc.

Nvm just solved the above issue by ending the Uplay task from Task Manager.

[lost barn]

Incursion not working. Its verse then legendary

We fail

[foggy needle]

its working, its just hard (which is fine)

[lost barn]

Hehe

Objective fail 100 times

[fallow inlet]

i get a black screen when i do the incursion after cut sceen

[opal oriole]

Whats wrong with cool skill global directive when its active i can't hold my turret for throwing it to any places that i want it cancel instantly.

[blazing timber]

just kill division 2 from task manager

[timber lark]

Starting from when can we start farming gear?

[foggy needle]

once at end game (so level 40 with NYC dlc)

[lost barn]

I think incursion paradise lost is not working its No fun its done to difficult No builds are working

People Come and go, and leave mission too hard

[cedar yacht]

Well thats what happens with every difficult content and you try to lfg with randoms

[dense panther]

I can't seem to get the quest from Olivia vance for the manhunt? Do I have to do anything first? new to div 2 and the ui is awful.

[lost barn]

Ok

[gilded jolt]

Quick question: wat does bleed scale of, weapon damage or?

[cedar yacht]

status effect

[gilded jolt]

Ok so getting stats with status effect increases the damage of bleed and so on

Bet

[cedar yacht]

Btw you can drop an eb in incursion

[rugged stratus]

Nice

[rugged stratus]

Bleed is kind of a poor status to build into. Even with amps it's not that strong. What build?

[gilded jolt]

Was thinking of 4 piece on going directive with backpack talent that increases bleed, with the exotic chest piece that applies bleed and u heal off it, haven't decided wat weapon yet tho lol

@rugged stratus

[rugged stratus]

Od is a decent set. You would probably be better served going into crit to try and get the most out of your amped ammo.

[civic lily]

no

do not

[gilded jolt]

Ah ok, bleed is that bad huh 😂

[civic lily]

pretty much

[rugged stratus]

Yeah if you use od, maybe wicked bag since status would always be procing

[foggy needle]

bleed is a crap dot. at best you can reach 100k a tick, while fire can reach 1mil a tick 🤣

[civic lily]

bleed is my favorite shock and awe proccer

[gilded jolt]

Lmao yall killed my bleed build 😂 back to the drawing board

[hasty topaz]

too bugged the two last bosses of the incursion

too damage the sniper turrent

[vale stone]

any1 figured out how to get the comms behind the door directly after bar fight in incursion?

[amber snow]

so is the EB dropping in the incursion cuz i keep hearing it from the streamers

[eternal plank]

Rogue Gold got it

[amber snow]

huh aint that interesting, wonder if thats a bad thing or not

[amber snow]

u lucky fr

[cedar yacht]

Not me

Someone from my lfg got it

[amber snow]

ooo eb in the loot feed

i was looking at the sweet dreams

[cedar yacht]

So yeah maybe you can get the ravenous if lucky aswell

[amber snow]

wonder if anyones gonna be bothered by that

hope not cuz the incursion looks hard already, having all raid drops kinda makes up for that

[cedar yacht]

Who knows but i feel the community is gonna optimize the mission quite easily

[rugged stratus]

Imagine farming incursion for ouroboros and getting nothing but shtty eagleburgers 🤣

[cedar yacht]

💀

[foggy needle]

https://tenor.com/view/this-is-worthless-gravity-falls-dipper-pines-worthless-gif-25136060

[eternal plank]

I was watching Rogue Gold's stream of him and his group doing it, and two of his mates got ouroboros. Rogue got EB and Darth got Vile lmao

[rugged stratus]

But it is interesting that its dropping in all seriousness. Better farm the shit out of it if looking for eb. They gonna close that door asap probably

[eternal plank]

me personally, I think the Raid exclusive exotics should have always stayed exclusive to their respected raid and not added to the DZ pool

[amber snow]

Why it's like winning the lottery to even get it to drop in the DZ let alone extract it, raids still the more practical method

[foggy needle]

yup raids will still be better. to farm it. since more people in group to possible share it

10% from raid box and 10% from weekly incursion reward

[eternal plank]

idk it just takes from the raids ultimately

that's just my take on it though

[craggy nova]

Eagle actually drops in incursion

My clanmate got one

[cedar yacht]

yeah its a known drop

[normal dagger]

Can anyone tell me the best place to farm exotic’s? Haven’t played in a year so I’m kinda lost 😐.

[jade robin]

How to get that new M4 Heroic that shoots electric rounds?'

[noble flax]

Coming back, trying ti get SHD Calibration resource. I read Countdow but its a bit old. Still true, and if so, what is that?

[junior cave]

Try your luck with Targeted Loot thing. Just set assault rifles - farm coundown/summit and pray for drop. :)

[vivid tiger]

Can you farm the new Incursion for the new exotic SMG or is it a once a week chance drop on each character?

[cedar yacht]

once per week per char after that its a 1% chance.

[civic lily]

enemy drops dz item in the manhunt?

[wispy merlin]

s1 named items yes, including dz + named cache exclusives

[swift cairn]

Hey everyone, are the new exotics as mediocre as they look? I dont think theyre beating st elmo at least

[valid bronze]

One of my clan members got eb

From incursion

[rugged stratus]

done expertise, again .. ig the new flame turret wont need to be made proficient, but cant take any expertise upgrades either 🤔

[valid bronze]

????

[narrow kraken]

Oh. Well idk im currently not on the game

So I don't know. Looks like it is server restart

[rugged stratus]

maybe because eb dropping in incursion. they must feel it warrants an instant patch... 🤣

[narrow kraken]

What do you mean eb?

[rugged stratus]

eagleburger

[narrow kraken]

I'm still confused. Is that a boss in incursions? If so that is a strange name for the division

Well maybe not there are some werid names

[rugged stratus]

its just eagle bearer exotic, which is supposed to be raid or dz exclusive. but its always eagleburger to me 😅

[narrow kraken]

Oh okay good name change bro😂 hey i saw you have PlayStation in your tags, do you play on PlayStation? I need some friends on the game to get a few things done I cant do on my own

[rugged stratus]

unfortunately not. i tagged all the platforms so i can # suggest the platform specific LFG channels if people looking for for that stuff

[narrow kraken]

Damn😂 I'm so close to that platinum trophy on PlayStation just gotta do the annoying pvp trophies and I cant stand the pvp in this game. Whenever I get myself into pvp it's against pvp players and I dont destroyed. One of the things I dont like about the game is dark zone usually ends up with pvp and to get the platinum trophy on PlayStation you have to do pvp.

Shit sorry I ended up rambling there

[rain mural]

Dread edict model updated

[viscid dagger]

They added a basic ass scope and called it a day

I'm so dead

[rain mural]

Better than the no scope

[viscid dagger]

Doesn't even fit with the theme of the gun
Yea ig just odd

[thorn hedge]

More of a bugfix than a model update

[viscid dagger]

They could've Atleast recoloured the scope ngl

[wintry cave]

Have they just forgotten about the patch notes section on the main menu? it hasnt been updated in so long lol.

[errant sorrel]

Someone know that there is a problem in apparel, I mean that when we want to choose a clothes, appears a button “equip set”

[rain echo]

Deck smh expertise 24

[slate mortar]

Guys does skill dmg benefit fire turret? Or status effect is better?

[spark crater]

Mag size 😂

[spark crater]

Yellow coat guy got capacitor 💀

[rain echo]

Ya mean kamikazevandoom?

Only division youtuber I watch is NGN

[blazing timber]

lol

[fiery frost]

How do I contact a mod?

I know ModMail says to DM it to contact staff, but it's in 3 servers I'm in.

[inner tendon]

The ModMail for here is separate from the ones in the other servers, so DM'ing it will work.

[fiery frost]

Oh, okay. It just showed it is in 3 servers, I'll try it, thank you.

Sent. Noticed that I didn't verify my account with ModMail. Fixed that. Thank you once more.

[turbid igloo]

Which vector is better the .45 ACP or 9mm

[cerulean vale]

About the new incursion, does a sniper build (Nemesis or Mantis) works there, or way too much movement?

[stark cave]

I think 9mm sbr has higher burst but .45 hase more dmg over time. So if your target dies within 1-2mags the 9mm if you shoot longer the .45 will win.

[turbid igloo]

Both got the same rpm If i'm right

[stark cave]

But diffrnt mag and bullet dmg

[turbid igloo]

Yes

[stark cave]

9mm lower mag, but more bullet dmg

[turbid igloo]

That's why i'm searching a more ammo talent for .45 ACP

[stark cave]

Same rpm, more bullet dmg = more burst.

[turbid igloo]

9mm got a 30 bullet mag

All the vectors got the same RPM except the new exotic SMG

That ouro boros Or something

[stark cave]

Yeah but one vektor hae more bullet dmg. You play either that for burst or sbr .45 for constant smg if i remembet correctly

The oroboros will probably be a pvp weapon or be used like st. Elmo: kinda equal to most weapons and fun but not the best.

1350 rpm and the 10%rpm mod on that weapon with sbr .45 might be enough to compensate missing dmg talents.

Also quicker reload and 50 shot mag compared to 45 of sbr .45 vektor

[swift cairn]

Is ouroborous worth the aggrivation to farm? I like the gun type but soloing content i get 2 shot rushed in isnt pleasant lol

[narrow kraken]

Does anyone else have a problem with Vanguard/Perfect Vanguard just not working in Summit? Not a cooldown thing, just doesn't work sometimes

[craggy nova]

Is there info on all of the Comms in the incursion?

We are missing one

[gilded jolt]

big rip lol

its the one behind the golden gates, idk how to get in that yet

[golden geode]

dose the dobble xp count for each character or is it just the first you run though

[thorn hedge]

just first since levels are shared

[golden geode]

Oh so running a second one is the same as resetting it and re running it

[thorn hedge]

wdym

[foggy needle]

Can't reset the double XP, it's a one time use and account wide

[narrow kraken]

Has anyone tried the potential combo of Bloody Knuckles and Sweet Dreams yet? I'm curious, but not curious enough to go farm for Claws Out and set up a proper thing

(yeah I know it's goofy)

[foggy needle]

yes melee has been tried and yes melee still sucks

[viscid dagger]

The one behind the golden gate?

Yea nobody seems to know
Eitheir bugged or extremely hidden

[main glacier]

game crashing each time i open up map and select cassie and then close the map

then the game crashes there

[craggy nova]

Gate underground or what gate?

[viscid dagger]

It's the golden gate after the wright boss

[craggy nova]

It's openable

Just not the gate

After you kill the named cleaner before the wright there's painting at left

Near the door

It opens up a thing and it gives a key

[viscid dagger]

🤔👀

I shall use this info
Thanks

[craggy nova]

Then you can open the door inside the location where the gate is

But even after all of this there's still one comm not found

[viscid dagger]

So the missing comm isn't the one behind the golden gate

[craggy nova]

Yeah

There's two from the bosses

You can get one from killing each boss first

But it still leaves us with one comm

[foggy needle]

Anyone have Iron lung yet? and can send me a screen shot of its base damage please.

[wanton frigate]

54k lv40 base damage according to weapon spreadsheet

[wispy merlin]

he's the one making the sheet... he needs someone to confirm

[wanton frigate]

oh lol didn't even realize

[foggy needle]

😂 but yea need a screenshot to confirm them (90% sure those are correct and unchanged from pts, but need to confirm live patch)

[flat estuary]

This work? @foggy needle

[foggy needle]

yea it does although, can you also send picture of the gun with its base stat shown too, please

also hu 920 rpm?!

once in backpack inventory screen > select option menu (hotkey shown at bottom row) > show base numbers.

[flat estuary]

@foggy needle

[foggy needle]

perfect thanks! you have Strikers on by chance?

[flat estuary]

Yeah strikers fire rate buff.

[foggy needle]

got it

do you have Ora smg by chance too?

[flat estuary]

Not yet. Just rushed season 100 day 1 lol.

[foggy needle]

lol np, if possible could you send pic on its mods too (helping the peeps update the online build maker too)

[thorn hedge]

Eww

[foggy needle]

perfect!! your the best thanks!!

[flat estuary]

Np! Happy to help.

[proven pewter]

Can I farm st Elmo in targeted loot now? Same with ninja bike?

[foggy needle]

yes they are in target loot

[proven pewter]

Nice all targeted loot sources work the same I assume? None are better than the other ?

[thorn hedge]

Either countdown or summit

[proven pewter]

Ty

[foggy needle]

all are the same BUT countdown and summit have more loot drops per hour so end up having more target loot drops because of that

[narrow matrix]

Make new lmg build with iron lung @foggy needle

Don’t say strikers

Does ninjabike knees skip the reload - keeping the buff?

[civic lily]

eclipse

[foggy needle]

Iron lung, coyotes, ceska and 4pc hitters

😛

[civic lily]

huh

[narrow matrix]

Ongoing directive? 👀

Constant ammo buff 😯

[wispy merlin]

4p hitters is definitely a new way to refer to strikers

[foggy needle]

he said dont say strikers, so i used a similar word instead 😛

[wispy merlin]

smashers, attackers, destroyers

[foggy needle]

havent tested it BUT ninja knees talent doesnt count as a reload, so probably keeps the buff.

[foggy needle]

OD works too, coyotes + ceska wicked backpack.

but like its talent is kinda meh, cause bad uptime so doesnt matter. just has strong base damage/ mods

[gilded jolt]

Wat would u use for ouroboros?

Such a niche gun lol

[blazing timber]

bikers

[viscid dagger]

Don't really use it for it's talent
Oro is Good Without The use of the talent

Probably could just slap it on HF build and there you go

[foggy needle]

ouroboros is not niche at all, has godly base stats. and IMHO best in slot CQB weapon and also works great with strikers (and HF)

[narrow matrix]

So Ninja knees + umbra then 👀

[viscid dagger]

Imagine oro With Even a decent talent

[narrow matrix]

Oro is nice for tank builds tbf

[narrow matrix]

If only it blinded the mini tanks that blind you 😂

Yessir I think umbra + ninja knees might be a great combo (with ceska bp that has wicked)

What u think

Decoy + banshee pulse

[viscid dagger]

Is this for iron lung

[narrow matrix]

Yes

[sudden matrix]

I think most people are just gonna swap it into their AR builds and change a mod or two for crit. That is your best option.

[rugged stratus]

I think iron lung is just gonna be another component. Havent unlock tbf but idk if stats alone will put it ahead of an ar

[foggy needle]

i mean its a strong LMG because of base damage and can compete with ARs but still is an LMG

[rugged stratus]

How does compare to ars with damage talents

[foggy needle]

the spreadsheet is updated fyi 😛
Base
Irong lung 721,333
Famas 662,865

[rugged stratus]

I knew that was coming 🤣
I'll consult the sheet

[foggy needle]

added famas

[wispy merlin]

famas powercrept!????? /j

[foggy needle]

strained is about ~8% dps boost so quick rough math

Famas with strained ~716 dps
iron lung 721 dps

[rugged stratus]

Interesting

[wispy merlin]

but no binoculars

[rugged stratus]

Boom

[wispy merlin]

checkmate lmgists

[foggy needle]

only if you use focus 😛

and then you have Ora come in with its 1,000,643 dps hahaha

ohhh, i wonder if Ora beats strained famas with focus 🤣

[wispy merlin]

we don't talk about that

okay maybe we should cuz it might help me beat tidal boss with 6 red

[foggy needle]

skill issue

jk jk 😛

[wispy merlin]

i'm seriously considering using 6 red striker pfe

just so i can still say i did it with 6 red

[fallow inlet]

Hey Local,

[amber snow]

why server restarting

[unkempt wing]

For the manhunt do I do Cindy’s mission on story??? Or normal??

[foggy needle]

doesnt matter, do it on what you want

[fallow inlet]

im doing it on hard and may go back and do it on a harder lvl

[hallow rapids]

New TD2 Seasonal Heroic Drop

[rugged stratus]

Good evening Saph 🍻

[rain echo]

that is the worse roll ive ever seeen

and ive seen some pretty god awful rolls

not even worth keeping

[wispy merlin]

there are god rolls, there are dog rolls, and then there is this

[kind cove]

Does tardigrade or however the exotic chest is spelled heal the user, or only teammates that lose armor

[wispy merlin]

everyone, and it's not healing but bonus armor

[kind cove]

Ah okay thx

[delicate anchor]

Was finally able to do my first raid but I have a quick question if I have more than 1 character can I pickup the keys again and open the last chest again? I don't right now but I would make one just to do that.

Also, what shares between characters? Once they're level 40 I know blueprints / materials do, but what about SHD levels, raid keys, gear, weapons, etc thanks for the help btw

[rain echo]

Say your SHD 1000 on your main when you do WONY on a alt and beat keener and get his watch that character will automatically be SHD1000

[amber snow]

once u beat wony its like ur main character except u dont have 3 specialists maxed

[rain echo]

Ya can transfer gear and weapons between characters yes just use the stash located in every safe zone

[delicate anchor]

gotcha thanks, last question how do specializations work?

do I have them all unlocked? or do I have them unlocked just need the points?

[amber snow]

idk how exactly it works cuz i own the version that unlocks gunner, firewall, and technician but those 3 are unlocked with no points while the base games specialisations are unlocked with all points

so id assume youd need to grind those 3 specialisations research again but its not really worth cuz you only need alt characters for raids which most builds use survivalist or demo

[sharp yacht]

It would seem that all I needed to do was wait for the next season. Now I can play the legacy manhunts

[thorn hedge]

?

[gilded jolt]

yo, u down for a quick run?

[thorn hedge]

I'm not today, I've been studying for 8+ hours

[gilded jolt]

kk bet

[thorn hedge]

I called off work to study

[gilded jolt]

hit them books

[blazing timber]

making notes i see

[thorn hedge]

I had a quiz shut up

[blazing timber]

Roger

[thorn hedge]

I aced the quiz (100%)

[blazing timber]

nice

GG

[thorn hedge]

It did feel good

[runic sundial]

HP

[sudden matrix]

Good job kiddo!⭐

[rain echo]

thanks ubi for the reminder lmao

ig thats centered towards newer players

is this a new hunter mask? how do you get it?

[rain echo]

I don't remember this mask

[bronze berry]

It's the mask you get when you buy the one-time offer premium credits.

[rain echo]

Thanks Isabel!🙂

Might be worth the $ then 3000 prem creds plus a mask

[rain echo]

its $30 here for the pack its 26.99 plus tax

[inner tendon]

Very occasionally you can get the credits for a slight discount if you couple if with a discount code on the uplay store.

[rain echo]

the new tier 100 mask in the SP looks very cool

i could just spend hours farming levels but ill space my sessions out

the season just started so no rush

[inner tendon]

Absolutely no reason to rush it, there's a very long time before the Season is over.

[rain echo]

I'll probably get to 100 just playing casually

I'll Def spend money to get that 3000 creds plus mask pack buy the sp keep the extra 2000 creds for the appersl event

[rain echo]

which famas skin is the best?

[rain echo]

is the chest any good? the talent seems mid?

[tepid rose]

might be weird question but has anyone elses brightness changed or is it just mine?

nvm hdr was on and fucking me around

[spark crater]

Das creepy chest

[rain echo]

The 1 I'm wearing?

[spark crater]

Yea

[turbid igloo]

is 9mm vector compatible with linked laser

[spark crater]

Who tf hangs faces

[thorn hedge]

Idk did you try it

[turbid igloo]

?

[rain echo]

It was from a apperal event

[turbid igloo]

Yes but linked didn't appear even tho i unlocked it

[thorn hedge]

So it's not

[turbid igloo]

On 9mm

[spark crater]

good thing i missed it

[thorn hedge]

There's your answer

[turbid igloo]

Only the .45 that It appeard

[thorn hedge]

Ok

[turbid igloo]

Vector is cool

[thorn hedge]

No but ok

[rain echo]

You should see the mask

Its a baby doll mask

[spark crater]

Lots of good attributes on wasted talent tho

Too situational

[spark crater]

That's fine but hanging faces are creepy

[golden crown]

I just comeback into the game and trying to get my character together is the Summit still best place to farm ?

[rain echo]

Nope

Countdown

[golden crown]

is there like any recommend build I get before going into that ?
don't want to weight other people down much

[rain echo]

All red

[spark crater]

All red

[rain echo]

No skill builds unless you wanna make people mad or have some entertainment at the end

[golden crown]

aye. I'll pick a red build from the google doc then. maybe hunter's fury or striker since I think I might already got the gear for it

[spark crater]

Striker

[inner tendon]

Gearset builds are quicker to put together, so if you hop over to #td2-build-advice > 📌 > spreadsheet > builds, and just pick one that looks like fun and doesn't rely on deployable damage skills, you'll be good.

Strikers is excellent and very high DPS, good choice.

My personal favourite for Countdown is "Red FI".

[golden crown]

FI ? future initiative ?

[inner tendon]

Aye. Basically you heal others and it heals you a massive amount too, and it still has decent DPS.

[rain echo]

Just watch out for extraction

[golden crown]

I'll definitely look into red FI after I got my striker build up. Thank you guys so much
so excite to get back into the game

[rain echo]

New season just dropped 2 days ago as well

[golden crown]

yes I saw the new incursion and it look so fun

[rain echo]

Its fun but also annoying at certain parts

Your best bet is to get a pre assembled team

With randoms it's hit or miss your ether get matched with competent players or players who are incompetent

[golden crown]

I'm trying to get my friend back but they still hesitant

is place to farm exotic also countdown ?

[rain echo]

Drop rate is extremely low

[turbid igloo]

Countdown does drop exotics except god must love you to drop it lmao

It's way to hard to drop a exotic you love

[golden crown]

is there a recommend place to get exotic ? or weekly is my only salvation

[thorn hedge]

countdown or summit

[rain echo]

If you do the weekly donation project you get a free exo cache

[sudden matrix]

You can do weekly dono, lego, 30 summit floors on all 4 characters each reset. Countdown will give you enough currency every 2 successful runs as well.

[golden crown]

0.008% damn

[golden crown]

I haven't make my 3 other character yet. It gonna take a while for my alternative character to get up to the farming stage right ?

[sudden matrix]

Well you can just get one build set up and send it to stash and make that loadout on your other characters and just pull it from stash/send to stash.

Over time you'll get dupe gear thats nice and can make seperate builds tho.

[golden crown]

I see thanks

[compact furnace]

I completed the Cindy McAllister manhunt but its still 20% and it says "Meet Cindy", is this normal?

[spark crater]

Go to castle and talk to her

[compact furnace]

I did, as of now, theres no more option to talk to her.

[sudden matrix]

Manhunt just started 2 days ago. 4 rescues and 1 target is 1/5 or 20%. Gotta wait for the season to progress.

[compact furnace]

thanks for the info! So this means its normal then? Even if it says "Meet blah blah"?

[sudden matrix]

Well it's usually buggy and you need to be solo most of the time to talk to them. Sometimes a relog will help if you're having trouble completing the talk to thing.

[compact furnace]

Jezzeeezzzzfriggincrist!!!!! This is my 2nd reset of this manhunt. Relogging didnt help on both. But thanks for the info though, really appreciate it.

[gilded jolt]

Christ

[sudden matrix]

lol I wouldn't worry too much. You aren't missing anything and it's not gonna hold you back. One day you'll log in and be able to talk to them. Tons of people talk about this issue when the manhunt first starts tho.

[median panther]

any way to get this back to "completed" and grey?

[nimble spruce]

Just ignore it, it won't matter

[median panther]

my self diagnosed ocd wont let me lol

[nimble spruce]

Push through to endgame and it should go away on its own, at level 28 you can't be far off

[sudden matrix]

Just rerun it, anytime you setup a mission it's gonna do that so I guess don't set them up if you aren't gonna run them.

[median panther]

i set the mission up, completed it, and then it stayed persistent

[median panther]

level 30 atm

[nimble spruce]

Get the strongholds (and any remaining main missions) done and you'll be on to the world tiers, which will probably fix your problem. You can leave side missions until later, they won't go away

[narrow matrix]

Is cool skills bugged?

[foggy needle]

yup

[spark crater]

How does proficiency with specialisation work? Do i need active kills while using them ?

[thorn hedge]

you need to either have them equipped or donate resources to raise proficiency for the specialization weapons

[narrow matrix]

I’m confused what’s the new manhunt progress ?

What did they change… all that seems to have been changed is stuff appears one by one upon completion

[sudden matrix]

Yeah pretty much sums it up. Do manhunt>rebuild castle.

[kind cove]

Is it worth doing heroic countdown for exotics or just challenging

[gilded jolt]

Yes

[narrow matrix]

No

Do challenging - higher drop rate and actual chance of finishing

Heroic needs everyone to do their part

[kind cove]

That was what I thought personally

[rugged stratus]

Yeah challenging better. You get slightly more credits on heroic but you also get headaches with build snobs 😅

Loot quality is good and it's an exo cache every 30 mins on challenging

[loud silo]

So I was recommended to get some BTSU Datagloves for my build. Does anyone know where/what they drop from?

[rugged stratus]

Target loot gloves

[loud silo]

👍

[rugged stratus]

Pretty much anywhere can be farmed for them. Countdown fastest because of possible drops and exo cache purchases

[loud silo]

So it's one of the global drops that aren't tied to any activity. Good to know!

[woeful quail]

I am having this exact same problem, Did you find a fix for it?

[narrow matrix]

I’m at 25% for the recruiter after rescuing / talking to Cindy

Metro ruins, missing curators, Solar farm, Museum water source, Cindy Rescue mission

[sudden matrix]

We'll there it is. I'll do the manhunt in a month or so when I'm bored on a Saturday morning or something.

[narrow matrix]

Lol

I just came across 2 laptops in the castle that you can use to “calibrate”. What does that do

[sudden matrix]

You hear anything see anything move? They under/next to something?

[civic lily]

they do nothing

[narrow matrix]

On the screen is a satellite antenna . Nearby about 4 yards is a satellite antenna

[junior cave]

Agents, the vigilance buff is canceled when i fall from high platforms/desks/ etc. Was it always like that?

I'm pretty sure it wasn't like that before Y5S2.

Or am i wrong?

[proven pewter]

How do I get capacitor?

[rugged stratus]

Complete summit challenges. Like 3-5 and itll drop. Forgot actual amt needed
Map>challenges> either category

[fervent locust]

You can get st. Elmos engine from countdown correct? I didn’t play last season

[rugged stratus]

Should be in the pool. It was dropping last season for people even before season unlock

[fervent locust]

Oh ok. Thank you! @rugged stratus

[proven pewter]

@rugged stratus Ty

[elfin geode]

What would be a better way to get exotics now? DZ, Countdown, or Descent? I have no idea what’s best and I’m trying to get the last few things i need

[foggy needle]

countdown and summit still best.

[elfin geode]

Alr I’ll try my luck at countdown later

[civic lily]

new raid is dropping previous raid exotics

might be a runner up

[foggy needle]

IH is dropping eagle?

[civic lily]

assuming you have 3 others on standby ofc

[foggy needle]

oh pfft thts not a raid lol

[civic lily]

no the cleaner raid

[foggy needle]

not a raid 😛 its an incursion.

[civic lily]

sounds like a 4 player raid disguised as an incursion

[austere wagon]

LFG INCURSION

[rugged stratus]

#lfg-playstation

[gilded jolt]

Why does ur link says no access lol

[hallow ruin]

Someone hook a brother up with an active clan

[gilded jolt]

Watchu need a clan for

[hallow ruin]

I’d like to be able to spam the incursion can’t get past the last boss with randoms

[gilded jolt]

Find randoms to do it with in the lfg channel

[rugged stratus]

Just need to select playstation role to access. it's just the ps lfg channel

[gilded jolt]

Pc master race

[vale stone]

anyone figured out what the 10th collectible is for the manor?

[thorn hedge]

from what i know you have to kill all the drones in order on tanker

[vale stone]

do they drop something or?

[thorn hedge]

the last collectible

[vale stone]

that for the 9/10 or or the 2/3?

[thorn hedge]

idk tbh lol

pretty sure the artifact is from killing martinez first rather than johnson

btw explosive resistance cap is 90

[vale stone]

well we killed the drones in alphabetical order, also spelt "BIRD" in one attempt and got nothing.

[thorn hedge]

Never mind that idea

Wait which of the ten are you missing

[vale stone]

For Comms, I have SetUp, Speakeasy, Confirm, Brave, Outbreak, Honeymoon, Recruitment, Condolences & Vows.

[gilded jolt]

What are the letters

[vale stone]

For Artifacts, I have Novel & Lock and Key.

[thorn hedge]

the last comm is called "kids"

and the artifact is called drone kid

i dont have either of them

[strange citrus]

Does anyone know descent rewards past 30?

[thorn hedge]

theres the patch for loop 40 and thats honestly kinda it

[vale stone]

have to destroy the kid drone via its weakpoint maybe?

[strange citrus]

That is ? Is it worth it to go past 30? I’m at 19 now,farming reconstructed caches

[thorn hedge]

no lol

[thorn hedge]

idk if youre on rn we can try?

[kind cove]

Is it just me or would the second boss encounter in the incursion be viable for farming xp? I’ve gotten at least 10 or so levels just from the incursion these last two days

[strange citrus]

Check

[thorn hedge]

no

[kind cove]

I mean you can probably put on world parameters I’m pretty sure with the incursion

[rugged stratus]

You could probably get 20 levels an hour on open world heroic with directives. Propaganda/executions/control points

[kind cove]

Meh guess so

[mellow trout]

You could easily get exponentially more when convoys were good

[kind cove]

Loved how they nerfed xp when most new players can’t get their watch leveled up quickly at all

[mellow trout]

Yeah it takes a minute

Been playing a year now only at 850

[nova elm]

does this mean ive already got all those items

[rain echo]

Yes

Ya have gotten every collectable and BP trophy for that special assignment

[nova elm]

Ok thanks how did I get them?

[rain echo]

By finding them scattered throughout the mission

Most comms and BP trophy are behind small puzzles yoi gotta figure out

[nova elm]

Oh soo I must have done this assignment before then I guess 😂

Wait wtf when did they build up the castle outpost?

Wasn't it a bombed mess before?

[rain echo]

U missed alot or have been living under a rock

It's been rebuilt for a few seasons nos

[nova elm]

I haven't played in like 4 years

[rain echo]

Ya missed out on a alot then
