[wispy merlin]

if it helps, i think i'm a piranha too 🤣

[sudden matrix]

I JUST WANNA HELP PEOPLE YO

[civic lily]

shd 6000 that doesn't use ninjabike or ortiz exuro is automatically a sweat

or turret drone

[wispy merlin]

hides my hh builds

[sudden matrix]

Not even close to 6k so I'm good.

[civic lily]

oh that's someone else then

[bronze storm]

For the Summit Challenges to unlock the Capacitor blueprint, do I just select a Challenge from the menu, complete it, and then choose another until I clear 5 of them?

[rugged stratus]

Yeah either menu. There are quite a few easy challenges so little be quick

[carmine vapor]

Level 12k running countdown with ninjabike, eclipse and 1 piece Cavalier for 100% emp immunity

🤠🤙

[sudden matrix]

Me just shooting the hunters cause I don't need skills....

[carmine vapor]

me keeping the hunter in place cause people are running 7 blue cores

[rugged stratus]

ninja isnt necessary to get 100% with eclipse 😎

[carmine vapor]

yeah but i dont have nearly as many hazard prot minors

only 1

[sudden matrix]

Also no backpack talent.

[rugged stratus]

you also dont have creeping or 30% amp

[carmine vapor]

no need

Also no need

i have sledge and scorpio, im good

[sudden matrix]

Creeping death would help with the blue core people you seem to run with.

Can't EP spread if no one can kill right?

[carmine vapor]

no, really creeping death is really unnecessary

people just need to stop using blue cores as much

theyre objectively the most useless core in the game

[rugged stratus]

10m foam hits and secondary proc at times.. really handy for extraction

[sudden matrix]

bUt I gO dOwN tOo FaSt

[carmine vapor]

no>?

why would i down

dont need blue cores to stay alive

[sudden matrix]

I feel like I'm the only person who goes into countdown with 3-6 people.

[carmine vapor]

thats just dumb to do

[sudden matrix]

Sorry I have people who wanna play together?

[carmine vapor]

then its still better to matchmake the rest? are you hellbent on doing it the hard way?

[sudden matrix]

We do matchmake the rest.

But there are 3-6 of us going in together.

[carmine vapor]

oh in that case same

except with 2 and not 6

[rugged stratus]

you mind posting that ninja hazpro so i can assess its validity?

[rugged stratus]

ty

[carmine vapor]

2 disrupt resist mods, 1 skill haste, skill haste aint really necessary so

[sudden matrix]

I do like to give the hunter an oreo tho. "here eat up my boi"

[wispy merlin]

yep, that's correct

[rugged stratus]

so the reason i went with hazpro on the gear is that i already prioritized haste over status. it was an easy choice to trade disrupt for full hazpro and haste my mods

10% status is only 1 second of duration and not really huge

[carmine vapor]

well im full status and barely haste cause its not really needed

also its only disrupt immune

no point for the rest

[rugged stratus]

yeah im aware with the mods. well there is shock in turbine, and foam/fire alot of times depending on the faction

[carmine vapor]

well those are avoidable

[rugged stratus]

either way you slice it haz pro is a tradeoff. its not the worst ninja ig but you could get a bit more out of a wyvern over the golan. 1% regen is pretty meh when your prio is sticking everything to the ground. the skill damage could slightly boost your fire sticky or jammer which i imaging is used in some case depending on faction

[carmine vapor]

But the damage doesnt matter

i get 10% stat effect regardless

the goal is to have as much stat as possible

but hey i swapped it out for a wyvern with the same stats

dont think it will make a difference tho

[viscid dagger]

They all be looking at me but nobody turns a valve

[worldly fjord]

thats just not wright...

hehehe

(sorry i just had to do it)

[civic lily]

more like wrong🤣 😂 🤣

[rugged stratus]

probably right tbh, 1 roll or brand bonus is never really making or breaking a build 🍻

[random field]

which one should i use?

[inner tendon]

Once you hit Lvl 40, anything purple becomes redundant. You can safely junk everything that's not gold or exotic.
if you change your difficulty to Challenging, enemies no longer drop purples either, just golds and exotics.

[random field]

oh

[inner tendon]

happy hunting, Agent

[random field]

I've changed difficulty

Is the exotic one better than the golden one?

[rugged stratus]

The exo is good for skill builds. The habsburg is a sniper piece.
Check #td2-build-advice for the pinned spreadsheet for builds. That will give you an idea of what to farm for your first builds

[random field]

Thanks

[rugged stratus]

Notable are
-Striker for dps
-Eclipse fire build for clearing mid level content very fast
-Skill turret drone build (afk) for when you're wanting to be a bit lazy clearing stuff

[random field]

I'll check out YouTube?

[low ermine]

Hunters fury smg build!

[inner tendon]

@random field Avoid div2 youtube, it's mostly just clickbait.
the spreadsheet they directed you to is up to date, and we're happy to answer any questions that you have.

[rugged stratus]

Only if you want to be mislead, the spreadsheet has proven builds

[low ermine]

why u delete comment i was reading

[rugged stratus]

Sorry for mistagging tomi

[low ermine]

i see

[random field]

Spreadsheet is kinda confusing for me since I don't know the equipment/gear names

[inner tendon]

If you scroll over in the spreadsheet, they're all listed.

[viscid dagger]

DOD-REGNBUE then on yt

[inner tendon]

but as we said, happy to answer the questions you have.

[rugged stratus]

Each build has a link at the end of the line that takes you to a detailed breakdown of attributes/talents/weapons

https://mxswat.github.io/mx-division-builds/#/
This will also be useful for looking up info quickly or kinda theorycrafting a build.
It does get complicated building so just take your time and you'll get it in no time

[sudden matrix]

Go to the builds hub. Find a build and click the evernote link, it'll open up into an easy to read guide.

[random field]

Thanks

How do I get striker gear?

[sudden matrix]

Few different ways. Best/quickest way will be challenging count down with the targeted loot to strikers.

[candid dove]

That exotic one is the thing from the crafting bench that says "Alanya has something for you to do" or whatever right?

[random field]

I got it from the project donations

[candid dove]

Ah. Word

[random field]

500 water type of stuff

[candid dove]

Yeah I'm really glued to my Picaro's Holster right now since I like the stats for it

I really gotta try new things.

Like get an even better Picaro's Holster

[sudden matrix]

That's just a general exotic, dodge city holster is the project holster.

DCH is dope make big pew every 30 seconds.

[candid dove]

My only exotics right now are Chameleon and Lady Death. I should hunt for some more. Working on Nemesis currently

[sudden matrix]

Nem is rng with how the project goes.

[candid dove]

Can you at least reroll Nemesis if stats are meh?

[sudden matrix]

You can reconfigure it but it's not like the Elmo or Ouro where the third attribute changes, it's a fixed attribute.

[random field]

Uh how to do the paradise lost

I keep getting one tapped

[candid dove]

Ah

[sudden matrix]

lol you going in with a group? Do you have a good end game build if they can't carry?

[random field]

No solo?

Was I supposed to go with a group?

[sudden matrix]

lol it can be done solo but I think only 1-2 people in the world have done it solo.

[random field]

I guess I'm not supposed to go with challenging difficulty either?

[sudden matrix]

Diff doesn't matter, it's set and scaled for 4 people.

Most average groups that know what they are doing with correct builds do this mission in 20-30 minutes.

[random field]

How do I leave this?

Do I need to quit game

[sudden matrix]

map>go to washington

If you don't see the washington option hit show targeted loot and it should appear.

[random field]

Ah

[sudden matrix]

I'd save that for later. I'd put it on the same level diff as like legendary DUA, just my opinion tho.

[random field]

This is my current gear

[sudden matrix]

See it's possible to get the oreo at SHD level 1 but we carried this guy, regardless it was a lot of fun.

[sudden matrix]

I wasn't gonna get on tonight but maybe if you pop into a VC discord and we can run you thru real quick if things work out that way.

[random field]

I can join vc 🤔

Thanks for the invite
What's Oreo btw

[sudden matrix]

Ouroboros, the smg shown in that pic I linked and the exotic locked in the incursion.

[random field]

Oh

[sudden matrix]

Yeah we had a fresh guy join us for carry/teaching and he had no idea what he was getting into.

[random field]

I mean he does know more than me at least

[sudden matrix]

Well I'll DM if your cool with it and send you a popular discord you can LFG in VC and hit you up in like 1-2 hours for games yo.

[random field]

Sure, and thanks for the help

[viscid dagger]

It's fine we've all been there don't worry about it

[sudden matrix]

Message sent and discord invite too.

[bold tiger]

sighs i thought i previews Hush's pants and they looked like pin stripe pants, get it and it's just looks like latex black pants...

[celest crest]

its possible drop st elmo without having dropped her before? i drop +- 8 exotic ar, but 8 chameleon

[wispy merlin]

yes

[celest crest]

farming in Countdown with ar target loot

its only rng?

[wispy merlin]

yes

[celest crest]

only pain

[random field]

I've farmed the entire striker set
Can you give me a build

[true siren]

a striker build? 4pc Strikers, Ceska Chestpeice with obliterate, Coyote's Mask. St Elmo's with Damage to target out of cover. attributes on the strikers peices should be crit hit damage and the ceska chest should have Crit damage and crit chance.

[random field]

Is obliterate a weapon?

[true siren]

nope, chest talent

[random field]

Oh

[wanton frigate]

devs have set chammy drop rate higher cuz trolls

[true siren]

the build should look like
(Coyote's Mask, exotic) (striker backpack)
(Ceska chest w/ Obliterate) (striker gloves)
(striker holster) (striker knees)

elmo's is a popular weapon to use due to ease of use and in general being good enough.

[celest crest]

strange is that no drop other ar without chameleon

[true siren]

huh?

[celest crest]

.

[true siren]

bad RNG, thats all

[wispy merlin]

you asked and i already answered

[wanton frigate]

its more than good enough lol, its always gonna beat other ar in some aspect whether its utility, better gun handling or insane 70 bullet mag

[true siren]

yea some people get on my case about the language i use when reccomending things, so i almost never say "the best"

[wispy merlin]

you're careful enough to not include damage as one such aspect

[wanton frigate]

read what others said, chammy has higher chance of drop so it drops more. st elmo has a normal drop rate, also you can try your luck with exotic caches from countdown. its why countdown is the best method

[true siren]

while i do think Elmo's is the best for new players, i am careful bc its dps is lower than some highend options, which is understandable- the thing is a beast in every other category

[rugged stratus]

this is one of the guides from the spreadsheet. main optimal build is ceska chest with obliterate, and coyote mask (or grupo mask if you donte have coyote yet)
https://www.evernote.com/shard/s588/client/snv?isnewsnv=true&noteGuid=0ee25268-ad51-0dd8-be36-f12373c7630a&noteKey=ed1072bcb59a18f66b8619994f12c4e6&sn=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.evernote.com%2Fshard%2Fs588%2Fsh%2F0ee25268-ad51-0dd8-be36-f12373c7630a%2Fed1072bcb59a18f66b8619994f12c4e6&title=Strikers%2B%2528TU19%2529

[random field]

Saved thanks

What about a skill focussed one?

Turret+ drone

I have a pure turret one from clan gathering gear for that

[wanton frigate]

people are running that flame turret gear set now often, u can also run drones with it

[random field]

Oo

[inner tendon]

@random field If you check out #td2-build-advice > 📌 pinned-message > spreadsheet > builds, there's a series of properly crafted builds in there.
I think someone linked this to you last night.

[wanton frigate]

its called exuro gear set

[random field]

Yes I checked it

I don't have that mask

[inner tendon]

That's what farming is for. You won't have all the pieces right now.

div2 is like 90% going for the next thing you want.

[mellow trout]

Considering how monstrous the mods are the lower DPS makes sense

[civic lily]

I mean. barely lower

[viscid dagger]

It's a great weapon otherwise
And an even greater weapon for new players
How many people you see coming in here asking how to get st elmos or saying they missed the season it was on the pass and they REALLY want it

[amber snow]

i saw a player around lvl 50 named plzgiveelmo or something similar

[tired merlin]

I've completed the Incursion flawless and got the Wright mask after patch 19.1 and have also killed Martinez before Johnson yet I cannot get the "Drone Kid" artifact or "Kids" comm. My friend got both of these before the 19.1 patch. I've also looked on the Trello board and there is nothing about this issue.

[thorn hedge]

i clipped out of bounds again

[rain echo]

Backrooms

[rain echo]

Eevee no clipped

[thorn hedge]

this is like

the 3rd or 4th oob ive found

[rain echo]

Can ya shoot eneimes

[thorn hedge]

no

[rain echo]

Well at least it wasn't the backrooms

[thorn hedge]

ive entered the backrooms in this game

you used to be able to up to TU6

longest standing bug i think in the games history

[rain echo]

What was it like?

[thorn hedge]

blinding

[rain echo]

So alot of lights ?

Blinding lights ?

[thorn hedge]

no lights

just blind

[rain echo]

What is it

[civic lily]

what is it eve

[thorn hedge]

what is what

while i just found whatever this is

[rain echo]

there we go

[civic lily]

why do we have the pinky toe

[thorn hedge]

?

[civic lily]

obviously

like isn't it a useless part of the body

what purpose does this tiny barely functioning toe serve

[thorn hedge]

shit didnt mean to send that

[civic lily]

💀

bait anyways good call

[rain echo]

wait what about a pinky toe

[civic lily]

Nothing important akatsukiiiiiiiiiiii

[rain echo]

why so many I s

[civic lily]

that's ur name

and I'm not counting

[rain echo]

its banaki

[thorn hedge]

what bait

[civic lily]

I forgot

[thorn hedge]

you forgor

[supple sparrow]

where is the DZ daily rewards chest located

[worldly fjord]

Inside the safe house, each one has a locker you can loot

[supple sparrow]

thank you

[wanton frigate]

wow eb dropped in dz lol

sadly i got it the week before i gave it away to a random group member. name a nicer guy than me

incase you're wondering yes ar was the targetted loot, it dropped from a random patrol.

[inner tendon]

Targeted Loot doesn't actually effect the drop chance of EB/Bighorn/Ravenous, but grats on the rare drop!

[wanton frigate]

landmarks are cursed no exotics even regular ones seem to drop from them for me

[inner tendon]

RNG be RNG'ing.

[wanton frigate]

😖

[wanton frigate]

is mack meret and kelso the same voice actor??

i swear they sound very similar

[worldly fjord]

dont think so, i didnt notice a similarity

[inner tendon]

Sonya Balmores is the VA for Kelso, she's not credited for any other roles in it though.

[wanton frigate]

really? try playing incur again, after wright they both talk and i swear they sound similar lol

[worldly fjord]

then again my iq is basically the room temperture so dont rely on me lol

[wanton frigate]

maybe i am tripping 🫣 😅 🤭

[wanton frigate]

🤔

[worldly fjord]

was bluescreen's thumbnail changed for a second time?

[remote wadi]

whats the best gear mods for assault rifle?

[worldly fjord]

weapon mods, crit chance
gear mods, crit damage id say

[remote wadi]

all crit chance on weapon mods?

[inner tendon]

Mods on your backpack/chest/mask should always be CHD (crit damage) if you are going for a crit build.
on the gun? all crit chance and the +20mag.

[worldly fjord]

one exception being the highest mag size

[remote wadi]

so basically accuracy and optimal range are useless?

[remote wadi]

all cc assuming a close range gun type?

[inner tendon]

Yeah ignore them. Optimal range is just how far away enemies can be before it stops doing the full amount of damage.
all chc as long as its a crit build, always.

[remote wadi]

what if I always wanted to fire guns at covers and in a long range? will all cc weapon mods still good?

[remote wadi]

awesome thank you

[inner tendon]

The Optimal Range factors in here, what gun are you asking about?

[remote wadi]

im currently using the carbine, but aiming for famas soon

[inner tendon]

okay there we go.
Carbine-7 has a max range of 35m, Famas has 28m.
If you hit an enemy outside of that range, you lose damage.

all this info is in the spreadsheet that's 📌 pinned over in #td2-build-advice

[remote wadi]

Awesome thanks for the quick info! Ill check it out.

[worldly fjord]

man i sure love it when game forces a menu to be opened in combat 😍

nearly lost my hardcore toon

[zinc helm]

dear god that was some angry button mashing

[worldly fjord]

Lol yup

[zinc helm]

you must be very good to play a hardcore agent, dont you?

[worldly fjord]

You just need to remind yourself that there's not a second chance, you'll adjust after a few hours

[carmine vapor]

@worldly fjord what was your hotshot build for hardcore?

[worldly fjord]

4 piece hotshot, chainkiller and habsburg backpack
Attributes on hotshot is headshot damage, on the 2 high ends is HSD and handling
Weapon is white death with determined and dttooc
Backpack is vigilance

2 armor cores for survivability, rest are damage cores

[carmine vapor]

yo thanks, i will check it out

[carmine vapor]

I have a backpack with concussion instead, should be good enough for solo

[worldly fjord]

Im personally not a fan of concussion. Ideally i would go with the gift but i just dont have any on this guy yet

[carmine vapor]

oh actually

i can craft that

[worldly fjord]

I still dont have the blueprint

Descent keeps giving me shit like swap chain and new reliable

[carmine vapor]

Someone explain this

One of these is definitely not like the others

[worldly fjord]

Lmao

[carmine vapor]

a little less blue core but i think we are fiiine

Time to level sharpshooter then

[rugged stratus]

Wouldn't airaldi scale a bit better on the top end

[carmine vapor]

very likely

the permanent bonus armor is super comfy

[zinc helm]

what are is the sign under the specialization icon?

[carmine vapor]

That sign is the hardcore agent sign

I also could go memento for this build now that I think about it

[worldly fjord]

yeah that can work too

[carmine vapor]

Vigilance would be more damage up front though, and im pretty sure at the higher end too

[worldly fjord]

im just too lazy to collect tags

[carmine vapor]

ill test how good it performs in some invaded heroic

[zinc helm]

wow you must be realy good

[carmine vapor]

im alright xd

[rugged stratus]

4PC hotshot is nice since determined can keep it procced most of the time. I run it with memento as well, and it's pretty solid if you can also utilize the skill efficiency you get

[carmine vapor]

its good but i reaaaally like vigilance here

[worldly fjord]

dont really need efficiency on res hive and decoy tbh

[rugged stratus]

You wouldn't if that's what's used..
I use turret/drone tho.
This is hitting top end anywhere from 23-25mil without event active .
Obv requires charging to hit those numbers

[zinc helm]

is the sawn-off really that good?

[blazing timber]

Decoy efficiency is broken if you see at lower skill tiers

[worldly fjord]

since i have cool skills on, using decoy breaks revive hive

2nd skill is pretty much never used

[blazing timber]

Ahh I see but at low skill tiers decoy expertise makes sense

[rugged stratus]

Yeah, should just switch up to long lasting skills at that point, right?

Instead of leaving 1 dead in the water constantly

[blazing timber]

I don't use cool skills cause how it bugs out

[carmine vapor]

having memento instead of vigi prevents me from getting some one shots i usually would get

like black tusk heavies

now i have to shoot their bare head twice after taking their helmet off

[rugged stratus]

Not 1 shotting anything with a helmet anyways

[blazing timber]

That is true no doubt cause vigilance is 25% amp to hh

But a good alternate to vigilance is concussion

If you think you can't maintain vigilance

Vigilance has been Bugged for a while though

[carmine vapor]

trueeee but it still doesnt proc when they only hit your bonus armor

and with hotshot bonus armor is basically permanent

[sudden matrix]

Vigi shield bug doesn't matter.

Digital scope would help but why survivalist?

[carmine vapor]

old screenshot

[rugged stratus]

Yeah hsd would improve shot if losing HH on a helmet

[carmine vapor]

i switched to sharpshooter since i need to level it anyway

[blazing timber]

It does sometimes at least for me

[rugged stratus]

No shield no bug right 😎

[blazing timber]

Lmao

[carmine vapor]

yeah im going back to vigi, memento is super nice but i really like vigi more with that bonus armor being there all the time anyway

[rugged stratus]

That's gonna be top damage 💯 .
If you do airaldi HH chest itll improve as well

[blazing timber]

2 pcs hapsburg

[carmine vapor]

cringe blue core set

[rugged stratus]

You spelled unicorns wrong 🦄

[worldly fjord]

actually the blue core makes it perfect for HC

[blazing timber]

I have the chest though with red core handling hsd and hh

[carmine vapor]

i refuse to succumb to blue

[worldly fjord]

i used to be a 6 red maniac in HC and would always die to crashes. it stopped when i added a few blues

#BlueCoresMatter

[carmine vapor]

i learned to task manager the game when i crash

so i log out faster than the crash

[blazing timber]

I have a script that can insta kill division

[carmine vapor]

based?

[rugged stratus]

So blue cores stop crashes🤔
Devs take note

[blazing timber]

[blazing timber]

Powershell script have to run it

[carmine vapor]

nah but since TU 19 my crashes have reduced to basically 0

so how fast does the script kill the div process

[rugged stratus]

Mine as well. There has been steady improvements to stability

[blazing timber]

Double click and dead it does the same as task manager

[carmine vapor]

send me that thing

[blazing timber]

1 line of code

[carmine vapor]

the faster the better

[tribal hemlock]

same

[carmine vapor]

we are truly optimizing out here

[blazing timber]

Sure give me an hour or 2

[carmine vapor]

DUA weekly exotic.... do i do it on the HC

[tribal hemlock]

yes with glass cannon and a ninja bag

[neon lion]

Hey there, Returning player and I cant seem to find what this resource is. What is it and where could I get it?

[carmine vapor]

I did it solo before just no glass.... there was a ninja bag tho

[tribal hemlock]

all of these are visible on your resources tab

[carmine vapor]

on soft core i just run perfect glass perfect vigilance

[blazing timber]

On sc is fine on hc I will think before using gc

[carmine vapor]

i will just never touch gc on hardcore

[blazing timber]

Yeah lol

[carmine vapor]

my intrusive thoughts are not that strong

[blazing timber]

I used gc on descent shock room I died to shock

[carmine vapor]

they were strong when i did dua legendary solo tho

[worldly fjord]

happened to me too, instantly alt F4ed

[carmine vapor]

kinda wish dread edict was better

my white death also has damage to armor which i heard scales better with headhunter in the end

I got it that way, it was not my choice

[blazing timber]

create a new text file add the following lines save it as whatever.bat
taskkill /im TheDivision2.exe /f
@echo killed divsion lmao

[carmine vapor]

thank

i could have probably done this myself but im gaming

Another thing, which mission was the emp sticky from again?

[blazing timber]

extremis malis extrema remedia

[carmine vapor]

Thats got to be my favorite skill but I forgot where its from again

[blazing timber]

roosevelt

[carmine vapor]

Jupiter right? Fuck

Hate that mission

[blazing timber]

yeah iirc i need to get it on my alt

[worldly fjord]

with all the jammers...

[carmine vapor]

I need to get it on my hardcore

[blazing timber]

yeah lol they one shot you from acrosss the room

[carmine vapor]

That skill is too good to pass up

[blazing timber]

yeah

[carmine vapor]

Going into jupiter hardcore tho

If i die, i die

[worldly fjord]

invite if you need backup

[carmine vapor]

Damn I went to the toilet and got back to a Delta

Good thing i was in white house

[blazing timber]

xDd you can never trust this game

[carmine vapor]

at least no crash 💀

woops bad reply

[blazing timber]

A delta can change your life

[worldly fjord]

or end it

i somehow have the laser pointer without unlocking rifle damage?

[tiny stump]

yea thats normal

ya just gotta know how to do it

sometimes it happens by accident

same thing with the 10% chd attachment from firewall spec's shotgun category

[blazing timber]

nice should have been like that it makes you waste your spec gun points

[tiny stump]

all you do is activate the rifle damage so you can activate the linked laser pointer.. then change your weapons to something like an AR and an SMG. MAKE SURE you equip the linked laser pointer on both of them. go back into the specialization thing and remove the points from rifle + laser pointer. put the dmg boost points into the AR and SMG (and whatever else). log out. log back in. your laser pointer will be active again without any points in rifle dmg (but you will have to re-equip the linked laser pointer on the weapons)

[plucky mesa]

After our run I'm still for using Striker backpack, but Obliterate chest for solo/Duo. Striker chest for 4 man groups 👍🏻

[carmine vapor]

i only use that when the goal is to not die, so basically only on my hardcore

[plucky mesa]

I use ND with Elmos and Unbreakable on HC

[plucky mesa]

so does Dttooc, the difference is, when you're sniping sometimes enemies are in cover so you lose the bonus

[carmine vapor]

I have both ND and Strikers on my HC, now Hotshot too. Hotshot is way too comfortable

[fallow inlet]

Hey Gogamer, Nug

[thorny mirage]

Hello, returning player here. Is the incursions difficult? Kinda rusty with the game atm and want to know if it needs optimized build n stuff to avoid being a nuisance to other players

[thorn hedge]

its akin to dark hours

just have an organized build and youre fine

an organized striker build*

[blazing timber]

Hi saph long time no see

[blazing timber]

The thing with hh is dttoc only loses effect at Max cap so when gaining stacks dttoc beats everything only at full stack does armour and health comes into play vs dttoc otherwise 10% dttoc vs 6% dta and 6% dth dttoc is usually better

[thorn hedge]

hotshot with DE

[blazing timber]

De 👀

[carmine vapor]

dread edict gives me diseases

[blazing timber]

Ahh forgot that existed lol

[thorn hedge]

its not a bad gun lol

[carmine vapor]

i do not enjoy that weapon on hotshot

[blazing timber]

Aces is better with that

[thorn hedge]

23 mil burst lmfao

exo component

[thorn hedge]

or was it 25 idr

[blazing timber]

Theoretically

[thorn hedge]

nug the DE hater

[carmine vapor]

im def not a hater

[thorn hedge]

my famas is theoretically in my stash rn but you cant prove that

[blazing timber]

Main thing is the scope part In open world

[carmine vapor]

i have it on my hc it kept things going till i got a good white death

[thorn hedge]

schrodingers dread edict

[blazing timber]

Other than that it is good

[carmine vapor]

now i just use it as a backpack accessory, while i use my white death to kill

[thorn hedge]

waste; use nemesis at least

[blazing timber]

You are not using the meta weapon that makes the game broken and is so op you melt things name that weapon

[thorn hedge]

?

i meant swap DE for nemesis

[blazing timber]

Name the weapon I am talking about

If you get it right I will change my name to championeevee paradoy

[carmine vapor]

it fits better with the white fit

regardless

this build is pumping

i just hate chains of dogs.....

tidal basin final part took a little bit

[thorn hedge]

either m870 or regulus tbh

[plucky mesa]

nice build, fugly apparel

[blazing timber]

Nope

[thorn hedge]

you literally made a generic statement

[thorn hedge]

not even airaldi? smh

[blazing timber]

You didn't get the sarcasm

[carmine vapor]

this was easier to get

[thorn hedge]

still better damage to run airaldi

[carmine vapor]

yeah but rn idc

it works

[thorn hedge]

im picky about my sniping

[carmine vapor]

i have airaldi with the same loadout on my softcores

[thorn hedge]

cant one shot 4-man elite dogs on legendary with a regular hs build

[carmine vapor]

this was easier to get up front as i could just craft it

[thorn hedge]

you have the gift bp?

[carmine vapor]

yes

[thorn hedge]

lol lucky

[carmine vapor]

also have the white death one

ill have you know the entire build is crafted except the chest, sidearm and the dread edict

[inner tendon]

Did you lose a bet?

[carmine vapor]

Lose a bet?

Absolutely not

All I do is win

[blazing timber]

👀 real meta smg

[plucky mesa]

[blazing timber]

Lol

[plucky mesa]

[carmine vapor]

Outdamaged by a dead person

Couldnt be me

[plucky mesa]

[inner tendon]

Damn it Brian!

[plucky mesa]

[blazing timber]

Who is that

[plucky mesa]

you're old. I'm older

[carmine vapor]

not surprised

[plucky mesa]

lol

[inner tendon]

I watched 5 episodes of New Tricks today alone.
but yeah, MMR builds are complicated.

[plucky mesa]

I'm surprised you're old, with the potty mouth you have

[carmine vapor]

sorry dad...

[plucky mesa]

I forgive you

[carmine vapor]

surely i will be blessed with one (1) airaldi chest or backpack

first craft

this can be made into something

However my 2nd craft....

All I do is win

[viscid dagger]

Got one just like that in my stash 👁️

[fallow inlet]

Hey Rivens, Eevee

[carmine vapor]

my hc agent has been blessed today

3 world exotic drops, sick crafting rng and a max headshot mod

all in the span of a couple hours

[worldly fjord]

Ayy nice

[trim nebula]

Hey, can I ask you guys something. When I play I get an icon, I think it's a effect but I'm not quite sure. It's an orange fox, can't find anything about on my info.

[zinc helm]

are you playing with someone?
are you using sharpshooter spec?

[amber estuary]

Second manhunt fails to go away even after completing it..

[nimble spruce]

Is it a hardcore character?

Actually that's more of a skull. Could be a weapon or gear talent buff icon

[thorn hedge]

I need context

[bold fulcrum]

What's the best and quickest way to finish this apparel event cause I want that neon outfit

[wispy merlin]

level up

[amber estuary]

Which gear has perfect creeping death ?

[wispy merlin]

the courier named backpack from habsburg

[trim nebula]

Well yes im playing with someone but I don't think I'm using the sharpshooter spec... If you want I can make a picture.

[zinc helm]

is your teammate using sharpshooter then?

[trim nebula]

No he hates it.

[zinc helm]

okay then the picture is definetly needed

[civic lily]

sharpshooter

[bold fulcrum]

I meant it as in the best way to get more XP here

[trim nebula]

Me or the person I play with and how do you activate that? It just appeared.

[wispy merlin]

do public executions on heroic 5 directives

[zinc helm]

its a crit chance buff whe you are closer to enemies when sharpshooter user iirc

[civic lily]

no it's headshot

[zinc helm]

sorry me shtewpid

[sudden matrix]

Go into your sharpshooter spec and you'll see that icon to get the exact details if you want.

[sterile jasper]

Is the second part of season 5 Mel Arnold bugged. I ran the Roosevelt twice...Mel was not rescued.

[thorn hedge]

Yo.its a fox

[trim nebula]

Thank you

[thick beacon]

how do i farm st elmo if i didnt play last season?

[bold tiger]

countdown AR targeted loot may be the fastest because of the sheer number of loot you'd recieve, Summit for a more laid back experience then just AR targeted loot in your favorite open world area or mission

[thick beacon]

if i do it in the stronghold where it is now do you think it would take a pretty long time to get?

[bold tiger]

possibly, depending how fast you can clear it each time

[thick beacon]

im just unfamiliar with circuit and summit since i havent played in a while

using police m4 with striker rn so my dmg is alright but think elmo could make it better

[rugged stratus]

Yes.

You have a striker set so you'll be fine in countdown. Stick to challenging and itll be really quick matchmaking.
Countdown is loads of loot drops and you can buy an exotic cache ever 2 completes. (~30min/exo) + whatever drops in ar target. Nothing compares for farming

[thick beacon]

Is countdown summit or circuit?

[rugged stratus]

Countdown is it's own thing. It's like a dynamic timed mission

[bold tiger]

probably what they meant by Circuit honestly

[rugged stratus]

Easy to access right in map>matchmaking>countdown>challenging

[bold tiger]

my ming goes to a timed thing when circuit is mentioned

[thick beacon]

Ah I see it. Thank you

[carmine vapor]

matchmade for countdown on my hardcore but no one joined

why live you know

[rugged stratus]

Skills are kinda nogo cause some can be hacked by the hunters you'll encounter. Shield/reviver/stick bombs/chem launcher/traps all ok tho

[thick beacon]

I normally run shield and revive. Is there better skills for it outside of countdown?

[bold tiger]

depends on your build and playstyle

[rugged stratus]

That's kinda the normal setup for dps tbh

[thick beacon]

If I don’t use the shield a lot what could I change it for?

[random field]

I got it on the 100th floor targeted loot

[exotic hatch]

Hola buenas, una consulta si eres nivel 30 o superior puedes jugar en coop con nivel inferior al nivel 30 en su mundo

[thick beacon]

I find myself using cover more than the shield

[bold tiger]

could try fixer drone or even reflect drone

[rugged stratus]

Gunner banshee pulse can be nice at times

[bold tiger]

or heal chem

[random field]

What speciality to use/ suggested to run with striker DPS?

I have Elmo's and the red shotgun

[thick beacon]

I used to use banshee with heartbreaker and kingbreaker but haven’t used since

[bold tiger]

gunner filled out will give you ammo back over time

[random field]

Too weak to get oroboros

Oh

I thought you guys would suggest the shield one

[bold tiger]

firewall?

[random field]

I think

First one/ most left one

[carmine vapor]

firewall if you can handle playing that aggressive, gunner if you need the armor to kill on survive

[bold tiger]

if you're constantly in that range could be a bit stronger

[rugged stratus]

A few notable
Gunner armor on kill/ammo
Firewall amp damage shield
Tech free skill tier for regular shield

[carmine vapor]

i will always recommend firewall over gunner for the shield and the medkit

[random field]

How long does it usually take to max out one branch

[carmine vapor]

a few hours if you can grind it out fast and focused on levels

[bold tiger]

taht would depend on what you do to get them levels

[carmine vapor]

but usually a couple days if you just play the game normally

[random field]

I maxed out sharpshooter but I think it's possible to max it out faster

Ah

[carmine vapor]

yeah, if you focus on levelling with the fastest methods, you can have it done in a few hours

[bold tiger]

fastest leveling = Highest difficulty you can handle + 3-5 directives

[carmine vapor]

Also not forgetting to do weeekly invasions cause those are just really fast

5 points for each mission is really nice

[rugged stratus]

Also do all your invaded missions on the new spec

[bold tiger]

if you bought the season pass, the dailies there tend to give a decent amount no?

[random field]

I don't have the pass
Don't have plans to get it either

[rugged stratus]

Faster than me 😅

[carmine vapor]

I started sharpshooter today on my hardcore character and its already at a 102 points

[random field]

Oh

[carmine vapor]

I didnt even focus on levelling either, just did manhunt and invaded missions

but i guess it was double xp anyway :D

[bold tiger]

if you're talking today? yeah new manhunt unlocked

[carmine vapor]

yeah, got those 15 extra levels in really fast today

now i can comfortably play my sniper build on the hardcore without lacking any damage

[bold tiger]

i failed the bounty to resuce the civilian and was just eh i'll get back to it another day

[random field]

Ah so it took me 3 days for the first one

[carmine vapor]

running hotshot on hardcore is the most comfortable shit

having a permanent 50% bonus armor is way too nice

[bold tiger]

i could only imagine

[random field]

Can you send the setup?

I stopped using sniper because it takes 5-6 headshots to kill

[bold tiger]

hotshot? probably 4 pieces not the chest and backpack. chainkiller chest and probably something vigilence talent on backpack with a gun running determined

[carmine vapor]

that is correct

[bold tiger]

determined makes it an infinite headshot except if the npc is wearing a helmet

[carmine vapor]

everything headshot damage, chainkiller with headshot damage and weapon handling, airaldi backpack with headshot damage and weapon handling and vigilance, white death with determined

Well, yes, but the raw damage i have is enough to one shot things in the head regardless

after i take their helmet off

dont even have the shd watch weapon damage/headshot damage yet

specced that into crit chance so

[bold tiger]

oh i know about that, just not done it 4 hotshot before yet. was hoping an all 6 armor core hotshot would've been amazing but it sucked :/

[carmine vapor]

yeah that shit absolutely sucks

I keep saying blue cores are the most useless thing in the game unless youre using a shield

[bold tiger]

considering i was trying it with the chest for that 100% bonus armor bit :/

[random field]

What's on E

[bold tiger]

?

[random field]

Ability

[bold tiger]

oh probably jammer sticky

[wispy merlin]

sticky bomb emp

[random field]

Oh

[wispy merlin]

you have to do jupiter manhunt at roosevelt to get it

[bold tiger]

it's just a nice ability that can stagger npcs

[wispy merlin]

one of the best skills to get

[carmine vapor]

Yes, EMP Sticky

Did the manhunt mission for Jupiter on the character today

[random field]

Manhunt?
Dlc one?

[bold tiger]

well, all manhunts are on wony dlc

[carmine vapor]

Its from Season 1 of the Warlords yes, you can access it by toggling the mission mode of Roosevelt Island

[bold tiger]

even if it's invaded for the week

PC it's usually holding G to swap it over

[bold tiger]

legendary?!?!?! you animal!

[carmine vapor]

You toggle the mission mode till you see this:

[carmine vapor]

all my strongholds are on legendary by default

🥺

[bold tiger]

i wanted to troll some people before 19.1 patch by going into a legendary mission, then matchmake for incursion at legendary scaling, but don't think it was possibly to begin with

[carmine vapor]

throwback to when i did dua solo on my hc

[bold tiger]

i've never gotten to NY HC to date

[carmine vapor]

i can help you

truly a time to be alive in

[random field]

Ah I don't have

[bold tiger]

had a buddy i was running it with. the two times we've tried they'd disconnect

[carmine vapor]

Well nice

I use emp sticky all the time

it also staggers enemies on explosion, so i sometimes use it when enemies get too close

[bold tiger]

forget the first death, but their second death was during that time when getting disconnected was so random

[random field]

Carry me for the weekly legendary mission 🤝

[carmine vapor]

rip to all hardcore characters lost to delta's and crashes

[bold tiger]

not hardcore wise but those delta'sa nd crashes made me stop playing the game in general

[carmine vapor]

sure, on my non hardcore it gets funnier tho

[carmine vapor]

I felt the same, kept coming back every update to see if its better now, and since TU19 it seems to be gone for me, all the crashing

[random field]

Lol nice you crossed the damage limit

[carmine vapor]

Just had 1 crash since

[random field]

I thought it only happened in Warframe
Getting negative damage numbers with sniper is fun

[bold tiger]

nods but what brought me back was "incusion is now in Div 2" i was excited to see what they'd given us

[carmine vapor]

I still want to do Incursion hardcore

Helping some people from my clan gear up for it right now

[bold tiger]

but was disappointed in the end

[random field]

Incar is the island?

Where we need to defend the tanker?

[bold tiger]

from my perpsective. Incursion = DH dumbed down to 4 man

[carmine vapor]

no incursion is this

yes, defend tanker at some point

[bold tiger]

mechanics wise anyways. the love birds was interesting, but not interesting enough

[carmine vapor]

I liked Wright but was disappointed it was as simple as it is

Then lovebirds was just like cringe cause johnson has a buttload of utility and things he does and Martinez is just there like "i flamethrower"

[bold tiger]

now if they can code in the striker stacks doesn't increase on immune stuff could make the run a bit more interesting

[carmine vapor]

im surprised they managed to code negotiators not applying to the bosses lol

[random field]

Oh

Ye I meant paradise lost

[carmine vapor]

now to clean up my map

[bold tiger]

you mean if one tried to crit in ND the boss won't get marked for it? i havne't done ND in so long i wouldn't notice it

[carmine vapor]

need to do all the sidequests

[carmine vapor]

yeah, nd doesnt apply to wright or lovebirds

[bold tiger]

just wright or lovebirds?

[carmine vapor]

yeah, just those

so you could never transfer the damage like you do on fieser in IH for example

[bold tiger]

ah ok, thought you meant in general. like i could run normal missions mark boss, mark 2-4 other mobs then focus boss(since bosses don't tend to cover) and kill 3-4 mobs at once

but could you imagine if it were possible? 3 ND marking lovebirds and keeping that damage in line with each other?

[carmine vapor]

i mean it would be funny on wright

[bold tiger]

true

i feel they should've made the lovebirds like buddy and lucy mechanic

[carmine vapor]

that wouldnt have made the fight that much better sadly

[viscid dagger]

They did it on purpose
They just decided to nutter ND for the incursion

Cuz of previous raids

[bold tiger]

no, but could've made it a bit more challenging?

[carmine vapor]

surely martinez enraging is hard enough

im not coping

martinez enrage really is a joke

[bold tiger]

martinez is the one throwing out them nasty sniper turrets?

[carmine vapor]

no, its the flamethrower woman

[bold tiger]

ah, the usual strategy then yeah it's sad

[carmine vapor]

yeah

would probably also happen if it had a buddy and lucy system

cause focusing johnson kills him in seconds

[bold tiger]

i've been playing div 1 for the current GE and get my last 2 D3 pieces. ran whatever it was just west of the base and the boss fight was those guys that just wonder around practically immune to bullets until you hit their tiny pouch in the back?

[carmine vapor]

i mean thats easy too no?

[bold tiger]

for me it was rough because i was like i'm about to run out of bullets, then was like oh right this guy

considering no riot foaming in game, had to improvise and blind them

oh no wasn't the west of base, was legendary mission with the crappy box carrying

times square was it?

[carmine vapor]

yeah, times square power relay

[carmine vapor]

just learned you can stick people with emp sticky and it wont aggro them

[thick beacon]

how do i change the loot prefered in countdown?

its on shotguns now and i dont want those

[bold tiger]

PC hold Hover summit or countdown shoudl bring up a menu of all the loot choices

[thick beacon]

and where do i get the exotic cache?

[bold tiger]

lap top near the global event vendor

[thick beacon]

found it ty

[tiny sparrow]

Is there a channel ppl talk about Dz? Not sure which channel is appropriate to ask the question. Just got into it today. I enjoy countdown a lil bit too much but man dz is really addictive.

[thorn hedge]

whats the question

[bold tiger]

here, build advice maybe even general would work, generally i'd say. but build advice would be the place to figure a pvp build

[tiny sparrow]

Yeah for build no doubt. Interested in dz itself, crazy how there's no channel for dz but incursion got one already.

[thorn hedge]

popularity

[true siren]

DZ is just "open world with risks" in essense. Theres no reason to make another channel for it, but the incursion was causing ppl to lfg in the normal place and raid lfg, which gets messy.

[tiny sparrow]

Makes sense especially since its so new

[wanton frigate]

dz is flawed by design, too ez to grief. it literally tells you where the players are when they do any landmark/supply drops.

[tribal hemlock]

pvp is not griefing lol what

dz is a free for all pvp game mode with loot

if you're using it for farming you're doing it wrong

[wanton frigate]

it promotes griefing, you misread thats what i meant. nothing stopping some clown to sit on dz gates and see where the action is to go gank unsuspecting players

its why its not popular

lots of dz inclusive stuff that needs to be farmed

[bold tiger]

what about those that don't leave the gates and kills people outside in the dark zone? ;p

[tribal hemlock]

use named caches you'll get better rolls

and don't go into invaded ones if camping is such a problem

if someone is camping a gate in invaded... go to another gate

usually gate camps turn into pvp 1v1s and stuff

[bold tiger]

oh?

[tribal hemlock]

dude i can't even remember the last time there was a legit gate camp. every time someone is pvping at the invaded gate it's 1v1s

[wanton frigate]

justin with his 20th undetected hack vid 🤣 clown ubi wont ban him

[bold tiger]

lol, right? and here i was like you got it coming for you buddy and i expected one of his videos "hack got detected, i'm now perma banned"

[wanton frigate]

i just wait for someone to do landmarks or call extract then go rogue on them lol

now i just need to drop ravenous in dz

[tribal hemlock]

well yea jumping people is easy b/c most dont pay attention or aren't on their guard

if i'm extracting in dz i always call two extracts and hide till the rope is almost done

pick the extract where there aren't ppl basically

[wanton frigate]

pulse gankers are coming run 😱

[bold tiger]

it's why i got a sys corruption pulse resistence build. can't pulse me much ;p

[wanton frigate]

eac is only good for crashing your game or not letting it run. doesnt do shit to hackers, i hear they run the hack on vms and stuff

[bold tiger]

yeah probably or "windows defender"

[tribal hemlock]

well the chances of someone pulse resisting and dedicated to ganking is low, if thats what you mean. and if you mean their pulse then yea run pulse resist. you can be a ghost. it's really fun cat&mouse stuff

[bold tiger]

i'd honestly would love to watch a group go around calling extractions with crap gear and watch chaos unfold ;p

[wanton frigate]

div 1 dz was better cuz it was much bigger, you had better chances to invade rogues

[bold tiger]

i agree

[tribal hemlock]

yea div 1 dz was great

they honestly did rogues correctly on launch

but had to backpedal it b/c everyone was too scared to go rogue lol

[bold tiger]

except them select places people could turtle up until the whole server goes after them

[wanton frigate]

what was diff on launch?? i got div 2 late

[tribal hemlock]

lol my group did that with smart cover cheesing

it was stupid but funny

[bold tiger]

you ever do the take cover and double your healing effect cheese?

[tribal hemlock]

dying as rogue was extremely punishing but dz also dropped really good loot (but more rare). so it was high risk high reward.

[tribal hemlock]

i honestly forget exactly what we did but we were basically invulnerable in smart cover against the whole server. we just needed to be in a very tight space to funnel them in.

[bold tiger]

my other favorite was that status effects increased your healing and it was op healing XD

[tribal hemlock]

there was a certain spot we could jump into where the only way to get in was to vault in there

so the whole server would vault in like a cartoon one after the other lol

that was totally broken though and they fixed it

[wanton frigate]

shameful part of dz in div 2 is that its actually better world aesthetic wise. feels like a horror survivor game

[tribal hemlock]

basically you needed to think twice before going rogue. if you did it willy nilly and got clapped (very possible) then you lost a lot of dz xp... like a lot

[bold tiger]

one of my memories was being up 2 stories and the only way to us was slowly climbing up both ladders to where we were waiting and mow down 1 by 1

[tribal hemlock]

oh yea i remember that place for sure

there was some cover in the back too

dude rushing in there was AWESOME

[bold tiger]

yeah and if you want to go further put a mobile cover XD

[tribal hemlock]

eventually the rogues would lose

it was great i miss that

[bold tiger]

server bum rushes rogues and then start all over again new place

what if division 3 is division 1 and 2 put into 1 game. so we get the div 1 dark zone but the gear/brands of div 2?

[tribal hemlock]

im honestly scared that all the complaining about the dz means they wont do it at all

or they'll make it like GTA where there's a pvp toggle or something

[bold tiger]

i know right? T_T

[wanton frigate]

imagine if they let people invade others like dark souls lol

[hexed kindle]

Anyone ever get all off white keys for the chest in haven? Is the chest piece worth it?

[worldly fjord]

most of the players already do, the reward is perfect intimidate chest

[bold tiger]

which got a semi nerf didn't it recently?

[worldly fjord]

semi? more like totally f*cked?

[hexed kindle]

Yea so far the only chest I've unlocked is the chests from the white house. Been running around and realized I didn't do that chest in haven

[bold tiger]

not sure how it was prenerf so for me it's semi nerf unless there's something i missed?

[worldly fjord]

a longtime they made it so you no longer get the entire damage buff instantly and now you have to build stacks

thats the only change im aware of

[bold tiger]

ahh, so that's the total f*cked part of it

here i was thinking they put on a secret cool down to the amount of stacks it gives you kind of thing, but it's probably pretty much it?

[lunar osprey]

there A-F/G gate and 3-4 safe house exit, and you can see tons of clown always cry but still respawn at same gate

Dz are not for clown at all that's why it's not popular

BTW I am strong enough that able to kill 4 noob clown and spawn at same gate so "door camp" doesn't matter for me

[random field]

Want to do it now?

How do I unlock the skills

Missions don't show up for me

[bold tiger]

be something like 65ish season level

and i forget where but all legacy manhunts are listed someplace in the game now

[carmine vapor]

i cannot friend i am a working woman

[random field]

Ah

[random field]

No worries, gl with work

[random field]

How do I access the summit challenges it's not showing up on my screen

[rugged stratus]

hold z and it will pop up if in summit currently.
you can also goto map> challenges tab and access the 2 menus that way

[random field]

Worked thanks

Ah it resets?

[rugged stratus]

if you reset your checkpoints

[random field]

Too scared to click links in discord

[nimble spruce]

Yeah it's a scam

Reported to modmail

[random field]

Isn't it faster just to ping a moderator?

[nimble spruce]

I think modmail pings all the moderators

[random field]

Also how long do we need to wait to get matchmake for countdown

[random field]

Oh

[nimble spruce]

They prefer if you use it anyway, not supposed to ping mods directly

Countdown should be quick if you're on challenging or heroic difficulty. No point going with lower ones

[random field]

Oh

[nimble spruce]

If you don't have a strong build up just run challenging, you'll be fine

[random field]

I'm matchmaking on challenging

I'm just waiting for 10mins in matchmaking

[cedar yacht]

Trying Heroic

I believe more people queue in heroic compared to challenging

[rugged stratus]

doubtful challenging is usually filled very quick

[narrow kraken]

Do I need warlords of new york? I'm new

[nimble spruce]

Maybe just a quiet time in your region

[rugged stratus]

yes, if you want to experience the full game. its not manditory but some stuff is locked behind it

[fallow inlet]

Hey Local, Kettle

[rugged stratus]

Good morning Saph ☕

[fallow inlet]

This is new job start time

[rugged stratus]

nice, make sure to get that caffeine in

[formal coral]

restart ur game, usually fixes it for me

is there any content good for challenging gameplay that isnt as easy as heroic but not as hard as legendary?

[rugged stratus]

probably the incursion and raids

all have additional mechanics aside from just dps'ing npcs

[regal summit]

Depends what you find hard. Most of the playerbase seems to have a harder time doing the raids than the legendaries.

Legendary doesn't really have many mechanics, it's just a bunch of tanky enemies with drones and shit.

[formal coral]

ah, well im a solo player so i guess ill just help people in calls for backup for fun

[nimble spruce]

Hey Saph

[thorn hedge]

Whenever you throw someone into a situation they've never handled before their minds freeze up idfk how or why

Like they just like

Turn off their ears or something

[narrow kraken]

To expand on my earlier question is new york as important as a destiny dlc

[blazing timber]

Yeah

[fallow inlet]

Hey Gogamer

[blazing timber]

Hi saph

[random field]

I thought oroboros was guaranteed first run but I got sweet dreams instead :(

[thorn hedge]

10% drop chance from the chest 1% drop chance from the bosses

[random field]

That sucks

Is there a chance to get it outside?

Since I can only do 1 mission/week

[thorn hedge]

zero

[random field]

Rip

[thorn hedge]

you can run it more than once for the 1% chance drop (thats how i got mine)

[random field]

I ran 2 times it was hell

Even tho I got carried the entire match

[thorn hedge]

what build are you using

[random field]

Striker I guess?

[cedar yacht]

If you have multiple characters you can run it each week for that 10%

[random field]

can I transfer items?

[cedar yacht]

Yeah

[random field]

also i dont feel like making a sec char yet

[cedar yacht]

I can tell since you're just new

But hey alteast you have a decent striker set

[random field]

I'm trying to reroll the chest

[viscid dagger]

Yea don't worry about that for now really

Just enjoy the game

Oops wrong reply

[random field]

If I can't slot 2 crit damage should I slot crit chance instead?

And is there a full black/white dye for gear and weapon?

[viscid dagger]

Full black yes
Full white is from I think ur first legendary mission completion iirc

[civic lily]

and they don't call it white

ivory was a fancier name

[viscid dagger]

Cooler name too

[random field]

Yes

[random field]

How to get it?

Which one is better acs12 or lefty

[cedar yacht]

Depends acs-12 if you're going to run a damage talent or lefty for bossing its your pick

[random field]

Lefty does more damage than the red one?

[cedar yacht]

its for the talent

which makes you do more damage/them take more damage when you proc it

[random field]

Oh

[elder seal]

do the status effect attributes work toward the scorpio?

[rugged stratus]

No

Its based on pellets that hit

[bold tiger]

any clue if status effects affect Iron Lung burning?

[elder seal]

yes but could i run a status effect build and do more dmg whenever the status effects apply to the target?

[bold tiger]

i want to say i think it was tested and full on status effects in every place possibly didn't increase the scorpio status effect duration or damage in the end

[rugged stratus]

No. The strength of the status scorpio applies is directly related to how many pellets a specific shot hits the target on application

[elder seal]

okay got it appreciate you guys

[bold tiger]

like if you were to build towards weapon handling which i think narrows the scorpio spread might make it so each pellet hits your target, which is something i didn't know about scorpio. thanks @rugged stratus

[rugged stratus]

Yeah if you can make groups tighter with handling it could be more effective

I've never personally tried though

[bold tiger]

same, i'm usually more concerned about getting chc/chd on a build

[rugged stratus]

Now if you are using a status build with vile, your scorpio shots will proc vile and the status effects will improve that vile damage tick. It's not affecting scorpio directly but could help in that case

[bold tiger]

plus i'm more of a skill build too. i've got too many skill builds saved up. i need to learn to branch out more XD

[rugged stratus]

I like my mortar and cc ep builds. I dont remember the last time I touched my burn ep or afk builds

[bold tiger]

got a drone/turret build, mortar/cluster seeker build, healer build, oxydizer build feel i'm forgetting a few

oh right EP build

i gave a skill exuro build a try once or twice

[rugged stratus]

I've always loved cc tho. Most satisfying build imho

[bold tiger]

then did an odd firewall, 3 EP, 2 Exuro and ninja bag to further increase the burn duration

[random field]

Is there a crit damage max limit?

Or only chance has

[rugged stratus]

only chance has a hard cap

[random field]

Oh

[inner tendon]

With CHD (crit damage) it's kinda the opposite, in that you want above 100% at the low end, and 130%-150% or higher, depending on the build.
.
gearsets are going to be 100-130 at max, since they only have 1 attribute slot each. It's why if you're using a build, you should go for high-end in the rest of the slots, or an Exotic if it works.

[random field]

51cc 121cd for now

Can't find ways to improve it

[inner tendon]

That's not terrible.
Your SHD watch will help round that out.

50-60 is more than enough for a starter build.

[random field]

Oh

[inner tendon]

The watch will eventually give you +10% CHC and 20% CHD.

[random field]

How do I access legendary missions?

[true siren]

reach level 40. congratz you have legendary missions

that difficulty is only on a few missions, though

[random field]

Oh

[inner tendon]

and Summit of course.
div2 isn't like a lot of other games though, you'll mostly be playing at Heroic at the true endgame, and Challenging/Heroic before that.

[random field]

Oh not that I just wanted to try one so I get the gear white colour/dye

Also does the exotic cache only drop bad weapons?

[inner tendon]

Heh, well what it does is drop a random item from the Exotic loot pool that you have, and a lot of the Exotics in div2 are contextually good only, or just kinda meh.

[random field]

Ah :(

So only ones I have?

Get cycled?

[inner tendon]

Nope, only ones that are available to you.
Some Exotics require Projects and once completed they are added to its loot pool. No rotation, they're all always there.

The only ones that will never drop from it are Ravenous, Regulus, Eagle Bearer, Ouroboros, and Bighorn.

e.g. Nemesis requires you to obtain its Blueprint via a Project first, then you can get it from the Cache.

[random field]

Oh

What's the name of the exotic sniper

[true siren]

theres 4, Nemesis, Mantis, Dread Edict and Sacrum Imperium

[inner tendon]

andDreadEdictbutnooneneedstorememberthatthing

[random field]

Ah

[true siren]

yea

[inner tendon]

there's also White Death, which is a non-Exotic sniper rifle that's arguably as good/better than Nemesis and Mantis.
its special thing is that it has higher HSD (headshot damage) than any other gold one.

[random field]

I got 3 white death today

Like 30 mins after I brought one from the settlement

[inner tendon]

Look for one with dtooc (damage to target out of cover) as the 3rd attribute, and then you can re-roll the Talent to whatever you like on it.

[random field]

Alrighty

On her build?

Wow it took 10 mins to upload

[random field]

.

What's the exotic sniper on her build

[true siren]

looks like Dread Edict

[random field]

Thanks

[true siren]

yes on Ayla's build

[random field]

I'll go and reset my router, messages are taking super long to send

[true siren]

...what?

[stone folio]

Played the division 1 and basically completed it, should I get the 2nd one next time it goes on sale (I bought the first one during the franchise sale but not the 2nd one which I kinda regret)

[true siren]

its a great game but quite grindy, and if you wanna do the endgame stuff instead of just doing the story and leaving you'll also need to buy the DLC, Warlords of New York (frequently shortened to WONY)

but if you like lootershooters then by all means its one of the best

[little dagger]

Hi agents. Do hunters scale to world difficulty? Or are they the same no matter what. TIA for context I’m collecting hunter masks

[viscid dagger]

Yes their damage and hp scales to world difficulty

[true siren]

think that one is achievement score, something similar

its not gearscore

[candid dove]

Ah

Yeah I stopped playing like a couple years ago and jsut came back and playing seriously. Got lots of exotics, and good stuff and im like "why isnt this damn thing increasing?" lmao

[true siren]

commendation score, my b

same idea, its achievements

[candid dove]

Ah, so I just gotta do more activities where commendations are given

Wasn't sure how important it was

[true siren]

yea not important

[rugged stratus]

check in ESC > progression > commendations , it will show a list of completed achievements you can claim, it doesnt automatically award so you probably have some build up. it will also show what is close to completion

[narrow kraken]

Did update add more or just a small dose

Like the most recent one they had

[kind cove]

You mean patches?

[thorn hedge]

19.1 was a patch not an update

The .x is always just bugfixes

[candid dove]

oh, thanks!

yep jumped from 185 to 470

[little dagger]

Bit confused about the damage numbers at the end of a mission. They sometimes have a negative symbol in front of them. Anyone have an explanation for this? Thanks

[true siren]

The game's damage tracker was never updated after the game launched. Before warlords, you'd struggle to hit high numbers, and so the tracker was coded with a 32 bit limit, meaning 2.147-something billion damage was the max it could track.

Once Warlords dropped and level 40 was reached, (and the build system was switched up) damage numbers got much higher, so when you get over the integer limit your number becomes negative and it starts counting backwards.

[little dagger]

Ah, ok. That makes sense. So the lower the number is in the negative, the more damage you’ve done?

That is to say -1000 is more damage than- 1500?

[sudden matrix]

Basically you hit 2.147 and then that becomes -2.147 and counts back towards 0 then back positive and will continue to go back and forth.

[little dagger]

Got it. Thanks for the explanations👍

[tribal hemlock]

what's going on with merciless and striker?

[inner tendon]

Is this referring to the thing where people just aren't reading the Talent and assume it's a bug?

Merciless/Ruthless Talent:

This weapon fires on trigger pull and release.
If both bullets hit the same enemy, gain a stack.
At 7 stacks, shooting an enemy deals 500% amplified damage and creates a 7m explosion dealing 500% weapon damage, consuming
the stacks."```

[tribal hemlock]

yea someone said it's bugged in an incursion run and didn't say how

[inner tendon]

Okay that's a new one, but it wouldn't be the first time that an Exotic is bugged in Paradise Lost (cough Scorpio cough)
the good news is that basically no one uses Merciless anyway, so it's probably not going to be a very hard bug to avoid

[tribal hemlock]

okay i asked and they're saying all the remaining bullets in the mag are amped 500% after the explosion

vs just the one shot

so you're hitting 29 6m shots after

[inner tendon]

Huh, well that certainly helps it from being one of the bottom tier Exotics to about mid, mid-low.
If you're worried about being banned for it, I wouldn't be. We've had bugged ones before and this is one of the more benign results.

[random field]

Is there a way to farm offensive systems exclusively

Like cc/cd

How do you guys get the max stats on those

[tribal hemlock]

nope. you farm for the pieces you want and hope they drop with the attributes you're looking for. the more offensive pieces (red cores) tend to roll chd/chc more often.

there are high rng pieces and low rng pieces. low rng pieces are gloves, knees, and holsters b/c they only have 3 stats and you can recalibrate one of them. so you only need 2 stats to roll in your favor.

named items are best because one of their stats is fixed

high rng pieces are chest/backpack because you need those to roll 1 core attribute, 2 attributes, and 1 talent you want. those are the hardest to farm for.

[random field]

Striker has named parts?

[tribal hemlock]

green pieces are also low rng because they only have 1 attribute. so like a striker backpack already has a talent. all you need is one attribute to roll the way you want and you can recalibrate the other

[random field]

I've maxed out bag, gloves, knees

[tribal hemlock]

so basically the greens are the easiest to farm

[random field]

Oh

[tribal hemlock]

yea so like imagine you want a striker backpack right. it's always going to have weapon damage as the core attribute.

[random field]

For skill builds what do you guys roll for

[tribal hemlock]

depends on the skill you are going for

[random field]

I went with haste and duration

[tribal hemlock]

well it depends on the skills you're using

like if it's turret/drone then you want skill damage on everything

and other attributes should be skill haste

[random field]

Ah

Duration is not important?

[tribal hemlock]

yea most builds in this game are focused one concept and stack everything into that concept

duration not important for turret/drone because it already has a long duration

[plucky mesa]

Do you mean attributes or mods?

[random field]

Attributes*

[rugged stratus]

You just farm for the mods category and cross fingers. Usually this is where summit can yield better results. Summit allows you to use legendary difficulty which will help get better mods.

[random field]

Oh I see

Where do I get ivory keys

[shadow plank]

guys i am wondering how exactly the sprinkle works on Wright, how do i know when will Wright go immune, sometimes I can shoot him through the threshold but sometimes i can't, is it time related or both damage and time related

[random field]

Damage and time related I think?

[tribal hemlock]

wright has a damage cap

[shadow plank]

but how is it possible to damage through the threshold on health bar

[worldly fjord]

only when you hit an armor segment

[tribal hemlock]

those big lines along the armor segment are the caps. once you hit those he goes immune. or after some time.

[shadow plank]

that's damage dealt in one sprinkle, which exceed the threshold on hp bar

[tribal hemlock]

how old is that video?

[shadow plank]

Oct13

[tribal hemlock]

thats probably why
