[rugged stratus]

@rain echo GD my guy, you already ground out your season!! What a beast 🍻
i been slackin and still sitting at 35

[rain echo]

I didn't grind I got lazy and bought up to tier 60 then did multiple runs of west end to get the other 40 levels

I'll admit I wanted to grind but the mask was just so cool and I didn't feel like spending hours going from level 1-100 like i did in the past

Funny is when I hit tier 100 I also hit SHD 1100

😂

[rugged stratus]

yeah its a pretty dope mask

[kind cove]

I would buy the pass but I genuinely will not use like, anything gear or weapon wise from this pass

[rain echo]

Ya can't can't see your characters eyes

All you see is darkness

LMG is dogshit

[kind cove]

I just want the red hunter pants but thats pretty much it

Nothing else looks interesting

[rain echo]

The pants are mid

[kind cove]

And I honestly forgot grenades existed until this season

[thorn hedge]

@gilded jolt

[rugged stratus]

premium track is only caches and dyes. youll unlock all the grear on the free side

[kind cove]

I know I bought the free track specifically just for those because thats all I want plus the red hunter pants

[gilded jolt]

Wait a min, is it possible we can do so much damage that the drone with shift anf shift but not fully heal them and kill them with out killing the kid?

[rain echo]

This?

[subtle silo]

Is there a Division Resurgence Discord?

[kind cove]

My man it’s literally up above

But yes

[thorn hedge]

no

this is the comm

i have no idea what it is

or how to get it

[rain echo]

do i open 64 cases for textiles?

so pretty

[thorn hedge]

so thats what the artifact looks like

but how tf do you get it

[kind cove]

Hacker man

[thorn hedge]

shush

so yeah i did confirm it drops from this fight

(someone on reddit confirmed it not me)

[rugged stratus]

nice

[gilded jolt]

im home, time to figure it out lol

[rain echo]

I think my wony is bugged

Got done the first rogue and I only got like 4109 xp from it

Even the cps are giving uner 10 k

Same with activities

[devout river]

is summit lvl 10 still the best way to farm for max armor mods?

[golden crown]

god must have wanted me to comeback to div 2 this drop on my first countdown

[rain echo]

wow im awful at CD i need to get better

[blazing timber]

0000 nice

[rain echo]

Ik im so good at CD

[spark crater]

Damage to armor 💀

[golden crown]

I dropped 2 in that one countdown another one got damage target out of cover so i'm good now

[kind cove]

Bros the main character

[rain echo]

In that CD game I played I got 4 of the new Tommy gun

[wanton frigate]

get carried kiddo

[rain echo]

Ik its a bug but it was funny

[wanton frigate]

home boi can reroll easily, i got damage out of cover on my 2nd try i think

and it was almost god roll as well

[rain echo]

Though we cleared all ads at extraction in under a min 10 then we just camped the helicopter ads till 5 seconds left then called the helicopter

[wanton frigate]

that doesnt happen a lot given how many low level noobs like to countdown with dumb builds lol

but ohman when it does

farm haven

[rain echo]

We were all high SHD lowest was like 200 but he was holding his own

[wanton frigate]

regulus is also funny as it 2 taps hunters

[rain echo]

Oh everyone in my CD group was ether using Scorpio or st elmos

[wanton frigate]

those are the most popular, like 60~90% of group members will run that

[rain echo]

Riot foam helps as well

[wanton frigate]

yeh, can you even do the 3rd encounter in countdown??

[rain echo]

Yes

In telhe past Ive broken off from the main group while they were doing the other 2 and main encounters I was doing the 3rd solo

Though most groups only 2 do side then the main encounter

Thr only time I don't do the 3rd encounter is if it is protect the VIP

[keen grove]

anyone know how many expertise points are needed for each early expertise level? like before it caps off at 200 per level

[rain echo]

guys a found a new way to climb a ladder!

@elfin geode This is why its so good

20% CHD witht thew optic and 20% CHC with the muzzle

[elfin geode]

Ah. Understandable

[rain echo]

once you get max stacks if your using strikers it melts enemies

add in DTTOOC and its very good

[elfin geode]

I’ll plan to build a strikers then. People say it’s easier to manage 100 stacks over 200. Would that be the better choice for a good build

[rain echo]

its way easier to mantain 100 instead of 200

But ultimately it's up to you

[fallen token]

quick question is it possible to legitimatly reach shd level 45000 with 3000 hours of gameplay ?

[rain echo]

If you no life its possible

I have over 2 k hours and I'm only SHD 1112

[craggy nova]

I found this image of Wright's mask, is there any info on getting it?

There's info on charms, not on mask

[rain echo]

First time I'm seeing or hearing about it

[craggy nova]

Yeah, me too

[rain echo]

Could be photoshopped as well

[craggy nova]

Charms were discovered like yesterday too

[craggy nova]

Might be or might be not

[rain echo]

That mask dose look clean though I want it for my collection

[craggy nova]

Charm drops for not getting downed on wright

[rain echo]

Maybe there's a way to get thr mask but we haven't discovered a way yo get it

[craggy nova]

So maybe mask needs killing him in 1-2 dps phase's

[rain echo]

Well 1 way to find out

Someone be tbe guinea pig

[keen grove]

in my exp its difficult to keep urself above 120 stacks consistently. the initial rampup is slow compared to an obliterate chest, and then u ironically start to kill stuff so fast that you have fewer targets to shoot, which loses u stacks. IMO u would have to stay above at least 150 stacks for the damage cap increase to be worth the slow ramp up, plus the stat losses compared to a ceska obliterate chest

[rain echo]

I love my grupo obliterate chest

[nocturne grove]

I like the damage out of the cover attribute. Is it good for high difficulty bots?

[keen grove]

grupo is good but fyi its consistently outperformed in almost any setup by ceska

[rain echo]

I don't like ceska

[craggy nova]

Yeah, top tier attribute and named item

[rain echo]

DTTOOC is essential for dps builds

[keen grove]

well thats fine but it produces higher avg numbers almost all of the time, as well as helping obliterate build faster

[rain echo]

That's why all my primary weapons have DTTOOC

Well the weapons I use for dps

[nocturne grove]

Cool. Will continue using this

Also, I sometimes used a Fenris chest for DPS. Should I keep this or look for another type?

[craggy nova]

Fenris is good if you use only ars

If you prefer both weapons grupo is better

[keen grove]

ceska

[craggy nova]

Or ceska

Depends on crit chance you have

[keen grove]

ceska gives ChC at a 66% ratio to equivalent ChD set bonuses

[craggy nova]

Fair

[keen grove]

even if u end up wasting 2% of that ChC its still more valuable than a 15% ChD

[nocturne grove]

So I have about 52% critical chance without having any blue core attributes.

[stiff elm]

Mind sharing a bit?

[nocturne grove]

Fenris chest is in that build

[craggy nova]

Wright one is for not getting downed

And lovebirds one is not really confirmed but it may drop from killing both at the same time

[stiff elm]

And the mask info? Or it's a mystery?

[keen grove]

i would have to know what ur WD and ChD are but i would guess u would want ceska > fenris > grupo (assuming ur only using AR. all 3 will be fine and the differences here become kind of negligable at some point. a good roll grupo will do u better than a mediocre roll ceska

[craggy nova]

Mask is a new secret

Along with 10 comm

[stiff elm]

Devs went hard on secrets this time

[craggy nova]

Nah, it's not that hard

Not even hunter hard

It's the fact that incursion offers a lot

[nocturne grove]

Wd is about 107k
Chd is about 128%

Here is the build

[stiff elm]

and it's cool, tbh

[craggy nova]

True, i love it (but only with right team)

[keen grove]

are u including coyotes mask buffs in ur ChC? where are u getting 52% from?

[nocturne grove]

Coyote has one critical chance mods

[rugged stratus]

non max mods. it would be 54 if were max. 4 chc rolls right

[keen grove]

ok so assuming ur playing mid-long range youll be at 62-75% ChC most of the time, which is above cap. i would roll most if not all of ur gear to ChD instead of ChC and look for a ceska chest

[rugged stratus]

use ceska chest and youll hit 52% with 2 rolls and all rolls/mods can be chd . allows for more chd

[nocturne grove]

Mistake I made,
I don't have critical chance mods. It's only the critical damage

Chance is at max except the damage part

[keen grove]

well ur getting ChC from 2 strikers pieces

[nocturne grove]

Yep. 2 only

Also I haven't maxed my shd yet. I got about 8.4%

[rugged stratus]

then 2 from highend/coyote

if you use ceska piece, those striker rolls would be chd instead, giving an extra 24% chd

but with watch you would be sitting at 50% until maxed which is totally understandable

[nocturne grove]

I am yet to max the critical damage from watch so will have to grind

[keen grove]

if u play at long range mostly u could keep the fenris and count on ur coyote's to max ur ChC

[nocturne grove]

So I will try to replace the Fenris chest with ceska one

[rugged stratus]

yeah

24%chd>10%wd

[keen grove]

i run with ceska, every gear piece rolled to ChD, play mid-long range with coyote's 99% of the time

[nocturne grove]

So I saw my stash has a optimized ceska kneepad I once used

Haven't used it yet

That will remove the damage out of cover if I use that

[keen grove]

na ceska chest for the obliterate

[tiny stump]

ideally you want this

[keen grove]

technically ur highest dps will be long range coyote, striker chest, fox's prayer, but the striker chest is much less consistent

[nocturne grove]

Is it fine to keep 3 striker pieces and have 2 yellow. The ceska chest and fox knee pad?

I would lose the 4 piece bonus

[keen grove]

strikers without the 4 piece is pointless

[nocturne grove]

Then I will have 2 variants then. Ceska and striker kneepad
Striker chest and fox knee

[keen grove]

u would be infinitely better off with a 3pc providence than a 3pc strikers

with the striker chest and fox's u will need to stay at around 140 striker stacks for it to be better

so its better for prolonged firefights but worse most of the time

[tiny stump]

strikers with the chest with coyotes and a ceska gloves/knees/holster is better than strikers chest coyotes and foxes prayers

[keen grove]

dont think thats true

[tiny stump]

test it

if bigger numbers = better

[keen grove]

lemme run some numbers

[rain echo]

Quick maf

[keen grove]

just tested fenris vs grupo chest and theyre virtually identical. fenris is like 1% better but obv u lose weapon versatility

[tiny stump]

whatever extra chd youre able to get on that build seems to be stronger than whatever dttooc is giving you

[keen grove]

ChD or ChC?

[tiny stump]

but only on crits

because youre using a ceska it frees up space for more chd

[tiny stump]

yeah the difference isnt that much but i must have been considering the higher crits as meaning its stronger. but the dttooc affects the non crits so that makes sense

[keen grove]

avg hit takes in both crit and non crit

elmos shoots fast enough that i dont rly care much about minimum dmg/shot

[tiny stump]

right

[keen grove]

idk both seem fine

[tiny stump]

yeah it really doesnt matter

both work almost the same overall

[keen grove]

using gloves lets u keep ur kit rolled to CdD which is nice

[tiny stump]

i suppose if you're running a lower chc build then the foxes prayers are def better

[keen grove]

u can also run more ChD rolls on the Fox's build which makes ur long range dmg much better

[tiny stump]

yeah. with st elmos i pretty much stay in the mid range bonus area for coyotes

[keen grove]

or u can run 2 ChC rolls which makes ur mid range better

if only fox's was a useful brand set

[tiny stump]

yeah rly

[rain echo]

would iron lung work on a striker build?

[tiny stump]

sure

[rain echo]

i havent tested out the gun yet so

[tiny stump]

its strong for an lmg apparently. the talent isnt very good though

[keen grove]

yea talent is kind of just elmos talent but better but worse

fire >>> electricity but having to shoot a lot first seems annoying

[rain echo]

im gonna do a heroic open world activity see how it fares

[keen grove]

whats the dmg compared to elmos

[rain echo]

im gonna find out

elmo better in term of dmg

long range elmos better

i did some quick testing overall elmos is better though closs range the iron lung beats elmo

[thin atlas]

is there any changes happened at Vigilance's Tal;ent?

[keen grove]

id guess orouboros probably beats both of them at close range

[rain echo]

base dmg elmos tops the iron lung

also the iron long has a rpm of 920 wil elmo has a rpm of 978

[keen grove]

oof the weapon handling

[rain echo]

did some testing in the firing range but you cant always go by the range here are the numbers ta alsmot full stacks against named

iron lungs weapon recoil is awful

hard to control

[tiny stump]

thats a shame

[rain echo]

What is

[tiny stump]

the accuracy on the iron lung

[rain echo]

It is if I was forced to choose between elmo and iron lung I'm picking elmos

Though desgin wise iron lung looks better

[tiny stump]

yeah and it breathes smoke when you reload

[thin atlas]

Is it normal for the vigilance to be disabled when the shield took damage?

[tiny stump]

no

shouldnt happen

unless the shield breaks and you catch a round or two

[rain echo]

Time to test iron Lung vs oro

[thin atlas]

then why my vigilance is getting disable when the shield took damage?

[tiny stump]

oro has crazy range for an smg

[cedar yacht]

update changes it apparently

[rain echo]

It does

But I hate how you go through ammo so fast

The fire rate is so fast

[tiny stump]

thats why accuracy is important. cant have all your bullets flying around missing

[rain echo]

I haven't really used the oro so I can't say anything I've used it once

[tiny stump]

yeah i only used it in the pts

[rain echo]

Close range if you can hit your shots it melts enemies

[tiny stump]

but ive been seeing videos of people using it at 20+ meters and having great accuracy

[rain echo]

I feel oro would work best with a HF or striker build

[tiny stump]

yeah

[cedar yacht]

whats the mods on the gun

[tiny stump]

not sure. there might be 2x 10% chd on it? instead of just one 20% chd

[thin atlas]

I'll ditch my shield in my Heartbreaker set for now.

[stiff elm]

oro with striker is just insanely fast

[rain echo]

Might farm a HF build and try it out with oros

I haven't used HF since I started what are the 4 peices you want?

[cedar yacht]

dont run chest and back

[tiny stump]

in the pts i ran it with HF, bloodsucker and intimidate and it was tons of fun. but i like the lack of range restriction with strikers

[rain echo]

So mask holster knee pads and gloves ?

[cedar yacht]

yeah

[rain echo]

What about about the chest and back?

[tiny stump]

obliterate and memento. or something

[rain echo]

I have a prov vigil bp still

I have a grupo with obliterate

[cedar yacht]

2x soko or groupo and something else if you dont want memento

i forgot 💀

[tiny stump]

this had my intimidate proc'd almost all the time

[rain echo]

Expertise 24 oro jeezes

[tiny stump]

its pts

[cedar yacht]

pts tho

[tiny stump]

it was free

[rain echo]

My oro ain't even level 1 in proficienty

[cedar yacht]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rain echo]

I could waste mats and make it proficient

[tiny stump]

i dont even have one yet. i gotta find a group to incurjzh with later

[rugged stratus]

If you plan on using it save the mats

[rain echo]

I don't plan to use it as much

[rugged stratus]

That being said I havent unlocked any of the season exotics but they all proficient 🤣

[rain echo]

Ofc they are

[tiny stump]

lol

[rugged stratus]

Lmao. I can actually pick up mats now for a change instead of always being full

[rain echo]

Must be nice to have mats

[spark crater]

BTSU uses shields now ?!

[rain echo]

Hey they took my shield!

[tiny stump]

how important is emp sticky in this incursion?

ive seen ppl using it for the striker drones and the sniper turrets

[cedar yacht]

1st phase to disable turrent or have someone run oxy. Idk about the sniper turrents cuz we always killed it the moment it lands.

[tiny stump]

oh alright thanks

plus hitting a drone with a sticky cant be easy

[cedar yacht]

I always split the boss up to kill the drone when it transfer over.

[unkempt wing]

Can I use it for a heartbreaker build?

[rugged stratus]

No tech laser , probably not unless you're using pulse skill

[unkempt wing]

HB and tech got it

[rugged stratus]

Oro cant fit the laser. Locked mods

[unkempt wing]

@rugged stratus I can never get my attributes all red

Nvm lmao

[rugged stratus]

Yeah with hb it's a pita since it rolls blue cores. Striker a stronger alternative if not attached to the bonus armor

[unkempt wing]

What weapons should I use???

[rugged stratus]

Elmo/Carbine 7 strained/famas fast hands/strained.

Secondary m1a classic or cqb with boomerang

Use obliterate talent on chest since you're not procing spotter constantly

[unkempt wing]

I don’t have Elmo, is another way of getting it?

[rugged stratus]

Just farming.
Countdown is a solid farm. Target ar and buy exo caches with the cd credits

[unkempt wing]

What’s a sub for Elmo till it get it?

[sudden matrix]

He did give two other choices, carbine 7 and famas, although you could put police M4 in there too.

[rain echo]

All 3 are good

Famas has a fast fire rate I think it has the fastest

In the AR category ofc

[nocturne grove]

The last 2 boss encounter is a killer

I tried splitting up 2 by 2 to avoid the double eye but it didn't work

[sudden matrix]

That last boss fight is super easy with 3 BIG dps strikers and a healer to OC a decoy for turrets while you burn them down. If you've got enough DPS you can stop him repairing the drone every time. I'm like 90% sure on this but this weekend I'm gonna put some times testing and running it over and over. Casual sub 20s should become normal once people get it down and have DPS strikers builds.

[golden crown]

how do you get Rescue Operation to spawn in world map ?

[thorn hedge]

need all control points in the area clear

[golden crown]

I got all the control point in west end but still saw only public execution and territory control

[thorn hedge]

its random

[sudden matrix]

Yeah keep clearing all the activites to free up spots for one to spawn.

[nocturne grove]

Did you clear manhunt bounties? It should show up there

[thorn hedge]

That's not what they meant

[spark crater]

I got pfe for two different mods:
defensive system: mending
defensive protocol: resilience

Do they have any difference ?

[wispy merlin]

no they're the same

[thorn hedge]

Year 1 they had different mod slots for protocol mods and gear mods, but now they are the same thing

[golden crown]

I haven't done it yeah so i think that's the problem

thanks

[woeful quail]

Rescued and spoke to Cindy, Can't speak to her again but it's not been marked off as completed on my manhunt progress. Any idea if this is a bug anyone else is having?

[tiny stump]

anyone ever see an empress piece drop with an armor core?

[cedar yacht]

wtf?

[tiny stump]

apparently it happens now

[rugged stratus]

not until now

[tiny stump]

if it happened this time it'll most likely happen again, must be a bug

[rugged stratus]

happens when crafting the bag as well

im gonna go trrough and see if any others are jacked up

just bags.. all other empress have skill cores when crafted

[cedar yacht]

I wonder empress as a whole is bugged

[civic lily]

he said it's bags only

that's fucked lol

[rugged stratus]

yeah it is

[thorn hedge]

trolled

[rugged stratus]

at least it ranks on the inconvenient side of the bug scale... as opposed to gamebreaking

[thorn hedge]

i mean some might say its convenient (granted they run fucking 3 piece striker)

[civic lily]

Just run technician

[pseudo tundra]

i am confused

[cedar yacht]

He's only lv35

dont bully

[thorn hedge]

i did better at shd 10 on hardcore theres no excuse

by shd 12 i had a full heartbreaker build

[cedar yacht]

I mean to be fair you already know what to do

[thorn hedge]

google

[cedar yacht]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[thorn hedge]

doesnt take that much effort to put something together better than that

lmfao

[pseudo tundra]

welp already bailed that incursion group

[sudden matrix]

So you could train up and help a lvl 35 SHD?

[pseudo tundra]

cant help if he gets killed twice by mortars before he fires the first bullet or throw any skills

[nova elm]

can somebody tell me what "missing curators" means in the manhunt thing

[nimble spruce]

Iirc it means you have to do a bounty in the same location as the 'missing curators' side mission from the original campaign

Just check your bounties for one with a yellow icon next to it

[fervent plaza]

How does no regen work? I need to rely on armor kits for full heal between encounters?

[foggy needle]

It just turns off natural Regen. All the rest methods work though

[fervent plaza]

Will try it out, thanks!

[wispy merlin]

currently it is bugged where you can swap your active weapon (between primary to secondary or to firearm for example) and you get back all armor out of combat

[fervent plaza]

Oh nice

Appreciate the heads hp

[viscid dagger]

When aren't seasonal directives
Bugged
Seems like every season there's a new bug with them

(fragile still being bugged for years)

[copper pelican]

So Im fairly new to the end game of division 2, any pointers or advice on where to get started/activities to do

[blazing timber]

go to #td2-build-advice and check the pinned spreadsheet a goldmine for div2 endgame players

[copper pelican]

Thanks

[nova elm]

[blazing timber]

np

[sudden matrix]

Yurp.

[blazing timber]

what is your ign

[nimble spruce]

air guitar I believe

[blazing timber]

when you are insanely lucky

[viscid dagger]

Great piece 👀

[viscid dagger]

From last seasons premium pass iirc

[rugged stratus]

@blazing timber just saw your pm, was just answering calls

[blazing timber]

Np I am heading to sleep anyway gn

[rugged stratus]

tc bro

[sudden matrix]

Sweet dreams bb.

[plucky mesa]

That's not air guitar, this is air guitar...

[thorn hedge]

lmao

[solemn lynx]

How are people faring with Incursion matchmaking so far? Going fine or lots of wipes?

[sudden matrix]

I probably wont be doing any matchmaking. One part pretty much requires coms so until I've got 3 people who can do it regardless of the 4th I'm gonna steer clear.

[viscid dagger]

I've gotten to lovebirds a bunch of times

And it seems to be getting better
As it should as more people understand the mechanics

[solemn lynx]

I just want to get a feel for things I've watched full playthroughs, and it's clear the mechanics lie somewhere between raids and legendary missions as I expected. Seeing where that puts matchmade groups, I just want to see how its gone.

[dim drum]

i am having a tough time with matchmaking. randos dont understand and do not have open mics

you cannot clear 2nd boss without team work

[spark crater]

Legendary missions have mechanics 😂 ?

[viscid dagger]

[sudden matrix]

Mechanics of yo gun shooting everything.

[spark crater]

Yep

[solemn lynx]

mechanics as in "Don't die, idiot" 🙂

[wispy merlin]

it still does involve some level of strategy tbh

[upbeat coral]

Hello, somebody knows where to farm for Lefty? Thx...

[rugged stratus]

Shotgun target countdown. Lots of named items drop each round. You'll probably get lefty in first couple

[upbeat coral]

Nice, thx...

[narrow kraken]

if i do the legacy manhunts am i going to get the rewards and loot they drop

[nova elm]

So I did a countdown but none of my stats showed at the end ?

[rugged stratus]

its like that sometimes. just kinda bugs out randomly

[nova elm]

Ah ok cool I thought damn was I that bad that I had 0% hit rate 😂

[south moth]

I am able to reconfigure my Nemesis from the crafting bench however above in the exotic section it still shows locked like I still need to acquire something. I completed the Nemesis requirements a long time ago before NY came out so did something glitch? Also it never drops as part of the loot pool like it does for others.

[rugged stratus]

it definitely could be. if you put your copy on another agent (not in stash), you can see if itll re-drop the parts. once you have the blueprint from GWH it will drop from mmr target loot regardless whether it registers full completion of project

[south moth]

So it looks like my first character which I don't use anymore does have it available in the crafting bench. I have purchased the shared account materials/blueprints a long time ago for both characters, but does it share the Nemesis progress between characters? My current main isn't the character I originally unlocked the Nemesis with. Is that the issue too?

[elfin geode]

I’m making a striker build someone recommended me. Does my Crit Chance matter anytime outside of when I’m using St Elmos? So maybe with the +20% Crit Chance its muzzle gives me, I can maybe respec my armor towards Crit Dmg? (Currently at 60 CHC and 124.7 CHD with elmo on)

[amber snow]

Is there a black and red gear dye?

[rain echo]

I believe so

[elfin geode]

@rain echo got any tips for me, since you helped with the build recommendation

Or do i take it to #td2-build-advice

[amber snow]

Watch how much crit chance ur putting in cuz cap is hard 60 so u might be over

[elfin geode]

I’m plenty over. I swap over to my Lefty with two 5% crit chance attachments and it puts me at 56% total

[true siren]

as long as you are at 55+ while using St Elmos, you'll be fine

[elfin geode]

I’ll go back and respec a little 👍🏽

[amber snow]

Don't really use the acs shotgun for dmg just building striker stacks

So chc doesn't matter on the acs

[elfin geode]

Oh no i know, im just using it to build the stacks + as a placeholder to measure how much CHD/CHC i have

[true siren]

You wanna be as close to 60% as you can get on your main weapon without going over.

55+ is just easier to say

[amber snow]

If ur using coyote mask I go 54% chc

[elfin geode]

Just did my respecs. Im at a flat 60, and im using Coyotes. I just gotta go get a Grupi chest to replace the Providence i have on since i dont need it. Try and get more CHD

[true siren]

If you are at 60% exactly, you can probably drop a CHC roll for a CHD roll

[elfin geode]

I could. I’ll just be at 54 for the time, then when i get the Grupo chest I’ll be at 143 CHD

[true siren]

Are you factoring the coyote buff into your math or are you going off raw numbers, no buffs included?

[elfin geode]

Raw

[true siren]

Then yea you can totally drop a CHC roll, coyote's will fix it for you

[amber snow]

Yeah u get 10% chc from 15 meter targets buff which is common range for the St Elmo and u won't be at a bad loss at 54% chc with the close range 25% Chd buff

[elfin geode]

👍🏽

[amber snow]

My max rolled strikers Groupo coyote st elmo build is 54 chc 164 Chd

[kind cove]

That with groupo chest?

[amber snow]

Yeah

[elfin geode]

Coyote or no?

[true siren]

if you are going off stats, doesnt really matter where the grupo piece is

you get everything from the initial blurb

[kind cove]

Well I mean the chest talent plays in

Thats why I said chest

[amber snow]

Obliterate all the way

[true siren]

(strikers, 4pc) (grupo) (coyote's)

[kind cove]

I do the set but with a cheska but honestly I could drop the cheska, might go down to 49 or 48 chc but if coyote gives 10% at 15m then I can just ignore that

[true siren]

ceska is a common sub for grupo if you have low SHD (10% chc from watch makes up the difference)

[kind cove]

I have it at 5 on watch

[tiny stump]

kinda just depends on how much chc you want. ceska can get you 52% or 58%. grupo gets you 54%

[rain echo]

i dont remember how i unlocked this patch

[rain echo]

what do the numbers beside the shield mean? the 51, 7 and 0?

[thorn hedge]

Number of rounds in mag

[rain echo]

aa thanks

gonna attempt to get as far as possible in the incursion with this build

[weary siren]

so, once i get the ouroboros blueprint I can keep farming it in the LZ or targeted loot?

[prime ginkgo]

is the best way to farm the mantis to just set the summit to snipers and run that over and over again?

[true siren]

Countdown, summit. Either one.

[prime ginkgo]

ok thanks

[rain echo]

btw the person who asked if there is a red and black dye there is

[prime ginkgo]

does the summit save the floor if i need to log out?

[true siren]

it saves it at the elevator, theres one every 3 floors (and the 10s)

[prime ginkgo]

ok mint thanks

[tiny stump]

you guys dig any of these new skins?

[true siren]

tommy gun looks like some mafia guy's prize peice

[tiny stump]

i like it

the new named tommy gun aint bad really. you can hit really far range

[true siren]

myah see, this is why ya dont scruffle with the maaaaaaafia, rattlem, boys!

[tiny stump]

manga dumplings famas

[true siren]

weeby i like it

[viscid dagger]

Yes that's great
Will go well with the cat ears from the new apparel event 👀

[tiny stump]

last one. keener was right stamp on this mop/six12 skin

[rain echo]

Dumpling skin best weapon skin in this season pass bands down

Isn't the Tommy gun skin called Bonnie?

[tiny stump]

yeah its posted above

[amber snow]

Greatest weapon skin ever it got me max rolling a tommy gun

[rain echo]

I remember doing a CD game target was SMGS I got like 4 of tbe new tonny gun in a single encounter

[tiny stump]

yeah i have e tommy gun that dropped perfectly god rolled and i just change the talent. its actually pretty decent

[rain echo]

Walk into a CP "say hello to my little friend"

Start blasting

[spark crater]

This skin looks like the regular mop, what's the change apart from kwr logo

[kind cove]

Yea all the skins are meh

[rain echo]

@stark warren shoot these targets from top to bottom and a hunter will spawn can be done during the day as well thought id gve you a loacation so do it when ya feel like

best to use a weapon with a scope

[stark warren]

you’re actually gang

where actually is that? like what direction from demolition site?

[rain echo]

if your on i can show you

[stark warren]

i just got off for the night unfortunately, 14 hours today was enough for me lmao

[rain echo]

here are all the hunter masks both in DC and NY

Wait im missing 1 in NY?

did they add a new hunter or something?

[stark warren]

isn’t there one in the incursion

[rain echo]

that isnt a hunter mask though

[stark warren]

oh

mb

are they wearable after you get them?

[stark warren]

okay got it, thanks for that

[rain echo]

and yes once you kill the hunter and pick up the mask its yours to keep and you can wear it

[stark warren]

awesome

i wasn’t super into the hunter mask aesthetic but some of those go hard

[rain echo]

let me know when your on again and ill help you on that hunter

hunters are mot pushovers

[stark warren]

will do, thank you. itll be sometime in the morning

oh i know

[rain echo]

even on normal

[stark warren]

ive gotten 1tapped in countdown enough the last couple days to know never to just run at those mfs

[rain echo]

oh you can rush at them just make sure they are insnared or shocked

[stark warren]

yeah i just don’t have either of those super accessible rn. going to try to get riot foam grenade tomorrow too

which mask does that one drop?

[rain echo]

use the foam chem launcher

honestly i got that mask a long long time ago so i forget sorry

[stark warren]

lol all good, ill see tomorrow when i get it

[still mulch]

I am new to division 2 what do you guys recommend me farming?

[rain echo]

ya can also get a mask from the bardon final manhunt mission you just gotta kill the huntewr before bardon

[stark warren]

ive done a whole bunch of countdown the last few days since hitting 40, it’s fairly easy if your team is even a little competent and you can target loot

[still mulch]

I am using lady death with 4 piece furry idk i feel like my dmg is underwhelming

[rain echo]

this is the mask you get from the bardon manhunt hunter

[stark warren]

lil edgy

not gonna front

[true siren]

Check for builds in #td2-build-advice's pinned spreadsheet

[still mulch]

thank you

[stark warren]

i think the actual hunter mask aesthetic is cooler. like more iconic. you know a hunter by that mask

[rain echo]

A few masks can be bought and 1 can be earned by completing floor 100 of the summit

[stark warren]

i do kind of want to try to do that on normal just to do it, maybe tomorrow night or Sunday

[rain echo]

Floor 100 first part is whatever Faction after the first half at the end is all hunters

There is a way to cheese the hunters

[stark warren]

cool. might look that up, besides the one hunter tomorrow i want to try doing some missions on heroic to see how i do

ill hit you up when im around for the hunter tho

[elfin geode]

Besides staying in the room where you started the hunter encounter from, waiting behind desks and walls until one of them comes into the room to engage where you all use riot foam/shock trap/Scorpio/Elmos if you want, then i don’t recall another way of doing it

[rain echo]

That's the cheese

Makes that encounter so much easier especially on heroic and legendary with almost all directives

Running out there is a death wish

[shrewd pilot]

my div 2 wont read my wireless controller, already trying to google it but still cant fix it

[rain echo]

wow i found a godrolled 1 in CD and the 1 im using isnt even maxed

[blazing timber]

You should add dttoc to smg Library

[candid flare]

anyone know what stats the ouroboros drops

[true siren]

SMG dmg/crit chance/random

[blazing timber]

I got one with hsd and I rerolled to dttoc took 6 rerolls

And at 18expertise with ouroboros

[candid flare]

nice

welp took 2 me roll i got a decent reroll

[rain echo]

Already added

Only thing I need tk swap on the new vector is the talent

[wanton frigate]

eevee's fav gun skin 🤭

[rugged stratus]

its not maxed dttooc in your library is what he was referring too (white arrow)

[rain echo]

Oh I see

It wouldn't let me extract from my expertise 5 vector so I used the 1 I got from CD

[rain echo]

why dont people listen? I told them not do vip cause its a pain and takes too long props to this guy for helping me do the warhound encounter and actually listening

[rugged stratus]

So what I've found is that whenever the team is totally random, things go pretty smooth... when you have a couple of agents in same clan in the mix, they tend to do the opposite of callouts or just do their own thing (which seems to be that case with 2 if your subgroup). When I see a clan , I just kinda expect a small amount of bs/arrogance.
I usually talk a little sht when someone goes VIP 🤣
Usually they fall back in line, on a few occasions they get triggered and give me some entertainment. either way it's a win win. 🍻

[rain echo]

They had 6 agents and he still died

[rugged stratus]

Yeah, sounds like they needed a cc guy 🤔

[rain echo]

Meanwhile me and asar did the other encounters with only the 2 of us

[rain echo]

We didn't have 1

[rugged stratus]

Well, you were running foam

[rain echo]

Yea but I was on the other side of the map doing the warhound encounter

[rugged stratus]

Yeah I'm just messing with ya. It be like that sometimes. If it gets real stupid it's better just to dip and find another match

[rain echo]

Funny thing is they had a guy with foam

First guy in sub group 2

[somber hazel]

VIP actually hard to dead as it is plenty of time to revive, guess whole team have serious collaboration issue

[rain echo]

But with 90% of the team there it should of been doable

Most people its common sense avoid VIP

[rancid dirge]

Servers going down?

3 hours?

[rain echo]

No?

Updates happen on Tuesdays

[rancid dirge]

?

[rain echo]

Huh

I'm logged in and I don't see that message

[alpine gull]

https://imgur.com/a/kKexgZz

there's a found footage in paradise lost? anyone know what this collectible actually is?

[thorn hedge]

probably a bug

[slate mortar]

Quick question, does 100% hazard pro help in incursion? With the purple flame thingy

[blazing timber]

It's just purple fire so yeah

[slate mortar]

Ait thanks

[fallow inlet]

Hey Local, Gogamer, Eevee

[alpine gull]

but the fire isn't really that hard to dodge... so not as helpful as pfe?

[rugged stratus]

What's good Saph

[blazing timber]

Hi Saph

[fallow inlet]

Not working the weekend

[kind cove]

I can get the kard custom from name caches right?

[thorn hedge]

yes

[kind cove]

you think I should go and grind dz resources to get the custom kard from the vendor or just not bother, I almost never play dark zone

[thorn hedge]

if its in vendor yes

kard best sidearm imo]

[kind cove]

Not denying that, I just simply have no idea how Im gonna go about getting the dz resources

[tiny stump]

sweeeet

[blazing timber]

Except regulus

[thorn hedge]

true

but kard is more universal

[blazing timber]

Yeah

[wraith dust]

should I finish the main story before going to NY?

im currently in WT 2

[cedar yacht]

if you want

if you care only about getting to late/endgame of the game as fast as possible then go do wony

[wraith dust]

ok

[fallow inlet]

id finish the story you have plenty of time to start the new season it just started

[spark crater]

Talent Composure:
Increase weapon damage 15% when in cover

Does shooting from cover proc it? Also no cooldown?

[wispy merlin]

no cooldown, activates immediately when you get in cover and deactivates when you get out. you just have to be in the in-cover state, shooting from cover counts as in-cover

[kind cove]

Does survivalists 10% group bonus to status effects work on yourself?

[gilded jolt]

ur part of the group right?

[kind cove]

I mean it didn’t specify thats why I asked

[wispy merlin]

no, specialization buffs that say "group members" do not affect self

[sage badger]

Where can I get Elmo's Assault riffle? Random Exotic drop? Can I farm it in Summit?

[kind cove]

Summit and countdown you can farm it

[sage badger]

Same with Ninja bag?

[tiny stump]

open world too. i got a fifth one from a random weapon case in the open world

[rugged stratus]

Yes. Countdown the best farm tho since drops and purchase exo caches

[broken sinew]

Is the best way to farm named pieces of gear by targeting the brand set? So in my case i’m looking for the caesar’s guard chestpiece which is a part of empress international, should I focus target empress international or should I focus chest pieces?

[rugged stratus]

Yes. Brand for named, type for exotic targetting

[broken sinew]

Thank you 🙏

[delicate anchor]

can named item caches drop dz / pvp specific drops like the rock n roll?

or do I need to specifically do dz or conflict?

[tough marsh]

Yes

[night crow]

Holy shit hes on fire

[pseudo tundra]

i am if anything a scholar for weird stuff

[night crow]

Welp this makes my build even more effective

[pseudo tundra]

you need to hit them with shotgun first but since the turret is always on that isnt much of an issue

[night crow]

Yeah

Or I firestarter them

[pseudo tundra]

duration of shotgun effect is very short so it's tricky, but the more you know

[night crow]

Yeah I know

Pretty much used this gearset since day one

[covert raft]

Question, how do I claim an area? I can't seem to make a border of an area green. No matter how many things public executions I do, and I own all the control points?

[tough marsh]

Done the invaded mission tied to that area?

[weary siren]

once ouroboros drops first time is added to the global loot pool?

[rain echo]

As far as we know for the time being ouro is locked behind the incursion

Don't know If in the future they will ad it to the DZ like they did rav and eagleburger

[delicate anchor]

Just wondering is the best place to farm for the exotic backpack in countdown - challenging - focusing backpacks?

or is there a better way to farm for it like summit?

[soft knot]

Which one is better for a sniper build Hotshot or Aces and Eights?

Gear set wise

[cedar yacht]

Hotshot

[prime ginkgo]

Is there on going rewards after lvl 100 of the battlepass?

[rain echo]

No

[prime ginkgo]

Ok thanks

[rugged stratus]

Just back to proficiency caches after 100

[prime ginkgo]

whats the exotic drop rate like?

[prime ginkgo]

i see thanks

[keen grove]

is heartbreaker TWD?

it would make sense that it is but the in game description says its WD

[nimble spruce]

It's amplified damage

[real cypress]

hey guys the incursion's chest reward is only once a week right?

[nimble spruce]

Per character, yeah

[real cypress]

is it viable to farm incursion bosses for the new smg tho?

[blazing timber]

yeah

1% chance better than dz raid exo

[rain echo]

Which boss is the easiest to farm

So statistically wise if you were to farm a incursion boss 100 times you would get the oro from 1 of those attempts

[keen pelican]

How to get this arm patch?

[tough marsh]

Does anyone know if The White Death can be obtained at lv 30?

[rain echo]

Previous season pass

I think it was during the Lewis manhunt

I think you had reach tier 50 or 100

[civic lily]

sad

[rain echo]

Ya can't get it anymore sadly

[keen pelican]

Last season I completed free BP and the manhunt all at once

[rain echo]

It was the season before the last

[keen pelican]

So it is from particular manhunt week

[keen pelican]

Oh. Then I didn't play

[rain echo]

It was during the regin of fire season

[viscid dagger]

Moss is apparently the easiest one

[nimble spruce]

I think you can get the blueprint from descent

[full crown]

I believe I got the white death by running Lincoln Memorial mission on the second run Heroic 4 directives

[tough marsh]

sir I asked for lv 30. Lv 30s don't have access to directives

[blazing timber]

If you play descent and get the blueprint can't you craft one at lvl30?

[tough marsh]

I haven't got one, but yes, lv 30s can craft named item blueprints

I've got the Chainkiller already, now I just need a TWD with Determined to complete the set

[blazing timber]

I see for the wony

It's pita

But you can downcraft regulus

[tough marsh]

yeah I'll do that one day

but maybe not, since it's going to be hard to hit the 150% HSD threshold to proc HH

Determined HH looks to be the best set for now.

[blazing timber]

mhh how about getting providence and habsburg pcs

[tough marsh]

that'd be great

[blazing timber]

and maybe a punch drunk

[tough marsh]

actually no, that's not possible

[blazing timber]

yeah habsburg doesn't exists at lvl30

[tough marsh]

lv 40s already have the BPs for Habsburg so it won't be in the Recon cache pool

[blazing timber]

should try to craft at lvl30

just to confirm

[tough marsh]

can't. lv 30s don't have the BP

[blazing timber]

ok

punch drunk ? 👀

or a m700 carbon should suffice

[full crown]

I wish sharing was an option for this I’d give you one

[latent spade]

Does paradise lost difficulty scale with ther number of players?

[smoky rapids]

Does Ouroboros drop from SMG targeted loot drops after obtaining it?

[thorn hedge]

les goooo

[thorn hedge]

no

[thorn hedge]

no

@blazing timber

[smoky rapids]

Thanks

[blazing timber]

nice

[soft knot]

Is it because more damage or usability or just better overall?

[rugged stratus]

Better attributes on hotshot. Some only run 3pc . But with determined, hotshot 4pc can remain proc as long as you dont miss

[soft knot]

Didnt determined get nerfed though?

[nimble spruce]

buffed then nerfed then buffed again

[brittle sedge]

Should I sell or dismantle premium items ? or should I keep them even if I don't use them ?

[rugged stratus]

What Kettle said. Though I imagine it will be nerfed again eventually, perfect determined is still in its nerfed form

[rugged stratus]

Usually dismantle is a better option for items you dont need, can't strip an attribute for library, or that can be donated to expertise.
The materials you collect from decon can be use for crafting/recal bench or donated to expertise themselves.
Certain items you may save if they are hard to come by though

[potent shard]

where can i run raids, is there new server because here is no voice chat anymore

[inner tendon]

There's a non-official community run server, just search for "thedivision discord" on google and click the big one that's not here.

[brittle sedge]

Which rare items should I save ? @rugged stratus

[rugged stratus]

Probably some of the dz exclusives you can get from named caches. Uncommon attribute rolls on items that typically get their main core changed (golan and habsburg are a couple unicorn brands because core doesnt match the typical use)
It's really something you gotta just kinda learn from experience.
There is a pinned spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice that has a lot of information about gear

[kind cove]

How are people spawning in the turret section on incursion speedruns?

[brittle sedge]

@rugged stratus and green / blue / purple items: sell or dismantle ?

[thorn hedge]

wtf

[thorn hedge]

wdym

[dense kettle]

whats the easiest way to get a hunter kill? i tried summoning one and got insta killed 😦

[thorn hedge]

just doing enough damage

[thorn hedge]

@blazing timber

[dense kettle]

any specific builds that are good at doing a hunter amount of damage fast?

[blazing timber]

yeah lol

[dense kettle]

i tried hunters fury with a Chameleon

[thorn hedge]

yeah thats not doing enough damage

[blazing timber]

meta gun /s

[thorn hedge]

lol

[dense kettle]

what are the meta guns? havent played in 2 years

[blazing timber]

Ouroboros Scorpio nemesis and regulus

[thorn hedge]

lol

@blazing timber wanna help me with weekly descent or nah

[blazing timber]

Ok

Let me switch to alt but

[thorn hedge]

k

[gilded jolt]

yall did flawless?

[blazing timber]

No

[fallow inlet]

we were trying to activate the easter egg

[kind cove]

I’ve been looking at speedruns and people are somehow getting in the area where the turret generators are and destroying them in seconds

[thorn hedge]

sniping with oxidizer

[kind cove]

One sec I’ll send a pic

It seems to be a bug with fast traveling

[thorn hedge]

you sure its just not cheating

[kind cove]

Its in several speedruns

[thorn hedge]

cuz a lot of the world record runs are going through walls lol

[crystal frost]

After completion, do you still get the 1% drop chance for the SMG from the bosses or also once a week?
(From the incursion)

[thorn hedge]

yes thats how i got mine

[main briar]

Are any of the incursion rewards exclusive to the first week of release? Basically, will I be missing out on anything if I don't play before reset?

[true siren]

none that i know of

[main briar]

Gotcha, thanks

[kind cove]

Nope nothing should be exclusive to week 1

[craggy nova]

Is it still possible to get that one?

[lofty lintel]

does anyone know how to get the bluescreen LFG?

and other season event wepons?

[rugged stratus]

was last season, not sure if its on sale premium or not. pretty sweet dye tho

[craggy nova]

Noo, no way i missed it 😦

[rugged stratus]

yeah, but check the store. cavalier dye and grey/peach/garnet usually fit into the same schemes as well

[craggy nova]

Ohh, nice, great to have replacement

Wait, there's tab for dyes in the shop?

[rugged stratus]

actually i dont think they are available in the store when i just checked, just weapon skins

[craggy nova]

Or it's for sets

[rugged stratus]

probably have to wait for a possible season rerun if they do that in the future

[lofty lintel]

does anyone know how to get the bluescreen LMG and any other season exotics?

[thorn hedge]

targeted loot farming

[lofty lintel]

ty

[lofty lintel]

do i have to have the season lv for the manhunt first or am i good to just hope in countdown?

[thorn hedge]

countdown

[lofty lintel]

ty

[thorn hedge]

how is this possible

[viscid dagger]

????

Can you open the box again after opening it in the same character

Have you tried that

[thorn hedge]

no

because its already opened

[viscid dagger]

How tf do you have another key

[thorn hedge]

the whole group got one

I DONT KNOW

[thorn hedge]

@blazing timber i finally got it

[blazing timber]

Nice

[blazing timber]

you ran it with?

[thorn hedge]

mercenary

also did u see my key

[blazing timber]

No lol where it is

[thorn hedge]

i got a second key somehow

[blazing timber]

Lol new feature from the Dev's /s

[viscid dagger]

Maybe it's the Vault key

It's full to the brim with year 1 pre nerf Eagle Bearers I heard

[rain echo]

what guns should i bring to this run?

im thinking of the police m4

[viscid dagger]

What is the build

[rain echo]

strikers

[viscid dagger]

Ah
Police m4 has shite reloading
I've always prefered the C7 over the M4

[thorn hedge]

Sleigher

[rain echo]

why ?

[thorn hedge]

Because I don't like u

[rain echo]

i could just tank for my team as well but i prefer dps

ouch my non existient feelings

[thorn hedge]

xD

[rain echo]

i just hope my friends get thier asses on soon

im not waiting all night

[thorn hedge]

I'm just so glad I never have to flawless again

[viscid dagger]

Matchmake and get a shd lvl 1 straight outta NY 🔥

[rain echo]

no please no

ill matchmake i just hope i get people who know what to do and dont sit around doing nothing

[viscid dagger]

Maybe you'll get one dude on his mic that knows what he's doing
That's all you need

[rain echo]

we got this hopefully

[viscid dagger]

By now usually everyone knows what to do on turrets and tanker

It's when you get to wright and beyond where you can see if they know what they are doing or not

[rain echo]

not even 4 mins in they leave

[viscid dagger]

Did they struggle at turrets lol

[rain echo]

no me and the another guy knew what to do and we told the other 2 to follow us but they did not listen and they died then left

we managed to destroy the rleft turret at least

[viscid dagger]

That is the default turret experience

2 dudes gonna stay in the back shooting adds with their skill dps build 💀

[rain echo]

that stupid cleaner heavy on the lft turret is annoying

[viscid dagger]

Scorpio comes in hand there
In a good group you have others to distract it or decoy

While dps kills the box

[rain echo]

i could run scorpio but then i wont have a stack building gun

[viscid dagger]

Nah if ur dps you shouldn't be the one imo having to deal with the heavy

[rain echo]

dose riot foam work on the heavy?

[viscid dagger]

Yes

Won't last that long tho at tier 0
But should be enough

[rain echo]

well i have the thing that gives me 2 foam shots intstead of 1

[thorn hedge]

What

[rain echo]

the ecotoxicology research mod

[viscid dagger]

But honestly if 2 of the 4 are staying in the back and not helping with turrets
(they probably wouldn't do very well in the rest of the run)

[rain echo]

this mod comes in handy

[thorn hedge]

[rain echo]

[hallow rapids]

Is this any good? I was thinking on salvaging it for diamonds

[rain echo]

That's a god roll keep it

It's good for any dps build

Expect HH builds

[viscid dagger]

Good lord above

[rain echo]

[blazing timber]

Are you gonna use chameleon?

[verbal topaz]

Can't grief with that

[blazing timber]

5 PCS 5.11 and NinjaBike Bag with Sleigher will that do?

[wanton frigate]

whats the fastest way to hit max expertise level??

[rain echo]

Play CD get a bunch of junk and donate

[rugged stratus]

1-Have a high SHD .
2-Run alt through wony for another SHD watch.
3-Use SHD > cash to buy weapons and named items for donation @ expertise bench.
4-Drain what remains of watch, SHD>PF>Donate Material to items.
5-Delete alt and repeat steps 1-4

if you dont have high shd, its gonna be grind through usage and donate everything (either as junk or breakdown to donate mats)

[unborn merlin]

as a new player should i level naturally or use the lvl 30 skip?

[rain echo]

If you haven't played the division 2 yet you should play through the main story first its really good

[unborn merlin]

alright ill do that, does the loot carry over to the multiplayer?

also is this game easy to get into or kinda complicated?

[rain echo]

The whole game is multi-player

Ya can play the story solo or play with others

It's easy to get into but until you beat the main story or WONY don't even worry about builds just enjoy

Once you beat WONY the true end game unlocks

[unborn merlin]

alright cool thanks!

[normal socket]

do gear have a different item level or is lvl 40 the max?

[tiny stump]

40 is the max

[normal socket]

thank you

[tame basin]

@normal socket Here the snitch is usually 9 out of 10 times

[violet needle]

Hi guys, hope you all doing well. I'm a returning player and needed some help. Basically, I have lost my touch with the game. I've been looking Div 2 Content creator on YouTube on builds and strategy for the new content. I want to build this Striker build but I'm missing the weapon (Elmo's revenge or something) and Ouroboros. I read online that you could still obtain it, so I have some questions:

1. Is it true?
2. How to obtain it
3. Will someone be able to carry me farm the weapons? Because I won't be able to survive alone. I tried

[tame basin]

Elmo's is a random drop and can also be obtained from exotic cashes

[tiny stump]

There's other things you should be focusing on if you're not able to survive alone

Those weapons won't change that

[violet needle]

tell me

[normal socket]

thanks man i was checking the locations that google showed me

will help alotwas doing some countdown to fetch some gear

[tiny stump]

Farming a good build and working on strategy/tactics. I mean that stuff comes with time and practice though so there's no quick fix

[sudden matrix]

Depending on who your creator is for Div it might be poor advice/builds/just all around bad. There are build spreadsheets and tons of people who offer great advice on builds and gameplay strategies here tho.

[violet needle]

That's what I'm trying to do. Farm better builds. Since I haven't played for so long my build is noticeably bad nowadays.

[tiny stump]

Oh yeah. I'm just saying don't put the cart before the horse. Those exotics are great and all but they won't make you better at the game. Countdown is a good way to farm new gear for builds

[tame basin]

Tell us what your playstyle is and what kind of weapon you like. and you get good help here with the right gear to farm.

[violet needle]

Gotcha, Thanks buddy

[blazing timber]

Try not to suggest your builds to him lol you like hard content thats why you play with weak weapons lol

[tame basin]

I leave the help to the rest of you.

[violet needle]

Well, when I still play with my clans, I often use a weapon like eagle bearer, Scorpio that one LMG that doesn't need to reload, and lastly for exotics the hold-down sniper rifle, while for the yellow one, I often use Carbine or honey badger and also dark winter. I like that type of running and gunning, offensive playstyle with a crusader shield if needed. I also have the skill build with Capacitor.

[thorn hedge]

All I have is this photo Raucey sent me

[violet needle]

This fight looks tough

[violet needle]

If i may, what is your go to build?

[thorn hedge]

Nah

All it takes is some common sense (hard to find nowadays unfortunately)

Oh and moderately good dps

[violet needle]

Can you show me your build?

[sudden matrix]

Hit up the spread sheet yo.

[violet needle]

where is it?

[sudden matrix]

Pinned in the #td2-build-advice channel

[thorn hedge]

Dunno how you'll first time with an OuroBoros though

xD

[blazing timber]

It's whole family of buffs lol

[thorn hedge]

Pretty much lmao

[blazing timber]

Bad lol use coyote

[thorn hedge]

I don't go over the chc cap

[blazing timber]

You are using ouro so +25% guaranteed most of the time

[tame basin]

Hunters fury with intimidate / adrenaline rush, double barrel shotgun with close and personal or backup bomstick

[thorn hedge]

Didn't ask

I know what I'm running I didn't ask for BA

[violet needle]

Thank you

[sudden matrix]

That is a more technical build tho.

So you'll have to really understand how to play it too make use of the talents.

[blazing timber]

How about Picaros?

[thorn hedge]

Less shield health

[violet needle]

Thank you for all your advice guys

[thorn hedge]

I usually run fixer drone so idk why the hive is there lol

[blazing timber]

But blue core with red

[thorn hedge]

Don't get shot

Simple problem simple solution

[blazing timber]

Say that to wright move I bet you

Don't get hit by that

[thorn hedge]

Dodge out of the way

[gilded jolt]

Alright eevee, I wanna make a skill build

[blazing timber]

Not that one the purple smoke one

[gilded jolt]

I need ur expertise

[thorn hedge]

Yes dodge out of the way

[blazing timber]

Skill Issue

[thorn hedge]

Oh wait nvm

[sudden matrix]

If you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a fire ball axe.

[gilded jolt]

I want to burn my enemies with high burning dps

[thorn hedge]

The one where you don't take fuck all damage and then just heal up?

[blazing timber]

Use Imperia Dynasty

[thorn hedge]

That a blue core won't do fuck all?

Yeah that one where a forge actually helps more than a blue core

[blazing timber]

Lol

[gilded jolt]

I wanna oxi my enemies to death

[blazing timber]

I use coyote 🦊 Knees so I don't care either way

[thorn hedge]

Coyote fox

[blazing timber]

I didn't expect you to get 🦊 wrong

[civic lily]

coyote knees

[rugged stratus]

You'll be farming some unicorns... 3empress
yellow sacrifice,
yellow contractors,
yellow fox's prayer
Skill damage everywhere.
Cap for skill damage/dta

[gilded jolt]

O man lol, I understand half of this 😂

[sudden matrix]

Get on it bro

[tiny stump]

get those ticks!

[rugged stratus]

The unicorns are the 3 named. Sacrifice chest, contractors gloves, fox's knee.
Need all to drop with skill damage and hopfully haste on the secondary for sacrifice.
This will allow you to roll the red cores yellow and your oxi will benefit from the dttooc, dta, end 30% amp from sacrifice

The empress it easy except for the fact that the bags are currently dropping with blue cores

[sudden matrix]

Yeah and you probs wanna get an acosta for it too so you can self OC .

It depends on the setup of what you are doing but there are a bunch of versions.

[rugged stratus]

Yeah if acosta go 2 hanna or 1wyvern 1 hanna

[gilded jolt]

Taking a ss of thiz

[rugged stratus]

Should be able to push like 68% haste or close to it so duration mods

[viscid dagger]

I have a the sacrifice skill damage and haste for my hard wired build funny enough

Don't even remember how I got it

[gilded jolt]

How much a tick would oxi do with all of this

[sudden matrix]

I'm a 3 empress sacrifice contractors and foxes being swing and acosta. DTTOOC doesn't apply to anything but oxy.

[rugged stratus]

Oh and for an added funny, if you have chatterbox and have the rof talent procced go directly to oxi and you'll be able to stack them faster than the reload animation

[gilded jolt]

Lmao

[sudden matrix]

Oh measured is super good too but you can use an in sync shotgun with DTTOOC after they are down.

[rugged stratus]

At least try in the range. It's not really practical outside very specific farming like old f10

[sudden matrix]

You can still F10 it's just about half as effective.

[tiny stump]

with artificer hive and combined arms on the backpack the best i got was 600 some-odd k ticks

[gilded jolt]

Yal don't use that exotic ar?

[rugged stratus]

Measured os a nogo.
First few are fast, remainder are really slow

[gilded jolt]

Forgot wat it's called, starts with a c

[sudden matrix]

Capacitor and no it's not the best.

The oxy are really bad for normal play, you need to stack them on a door and kill things on spawn.

[rugged stratus]

Yeah once it changed, I was out. Not worth the hassle current method requires.

[wispy merlin]

demolisher firefly crying in the corner

[rugged stratus]

Capacitor offers the best damage for oxi. You just need to maintain it

[sudden matrix]

Yeah but I just feel like if you can shoot enemies to get and maintain those stacks you are not killing them with your oxy anyway.

[rugged stratus]

I mean once the oxi is on the ground what else ya gonna do 😅

[civic lily]

Chatterbox to fire them faster

[rugged stratus]

If I'm being honest tho, anywhere you would use oxi, would probably be more effective with fire eclipse. Oxi more niche than universal

[sudden matrix]

Get enough damage to kill them before they leave the spawn.

[gilded jolt]

Lol overcharge oxi must melt bosses

[rugged stratus]

Yeah oxi melts everything for sure

[civic lily]

dragov

[low ermine]

Bruh what is this, some of you need Jesus.

[viscid dagger]

That's 660 days good lord

[low ermine]

xd

[inner tendon]

The game just hit 5 years, so I mean, that doesn't seem that bad if spread out over it.

[plush umbra]

6 more days and it is 666 days.

[smoky rapids]

Is it just me, or has there been an increase in rogue agent encounters outside of high difficulty activity completions?

Was in the middle of an attempt to assassinate Trip and his cohort Hunters before I stumbled into a duo armed with seeker mines and Striker drones

All of this was done on normal, so I didn't have trouble.

[prime ginkgo]

is the busy little bee available with targeted loot?

[smoky rapids]

I think so.
