i just wish there was a closer range dmr, or i could slap a red doot on my main rifle

i wonder if dread edict would be good there

[true siren]

Its not good in the incursion.

[worldly fjord]

dread isnt good anywhere

[grizzled apex]

why does dread edict even exist

[true siren]

If you want to take hours on the incursion, bring silly stuff. Dont get mad at us when your "Silly Stuff" gets you kicked from the incursion, or you spend multiple hours trying to get past Wright because you do little to no damage.

[grizzled apex]

actually, is there a decent dmr for close range?

[true siren]

Not really, no.

[grizzled apex]

damn

what about the dmrs that are basically rifles

[true siren]

Any of the "dmr-type" snipers have such low damage that they cant take advantage of Headhunter with any degree of success.

[grizzled apex]

and all the high damage ones are so horrible at close range due to 0 fire rate

[true siren]

But they oneshot enemies to the head, so get better at positioning (or get better at running away.)

[grizzled apex]

fair, fair

what sniper rifle do you recommend using, if im dead set on sniping in the incursion

[true siren]

But regardless, most stuff is fine in most places, but the incursion is quite difficult and really really really rewards you for doing a lot of damage. Bringing "silly stuff" will make your experience in it so much worse.

[true siren]

If you are dead set on sniping in the incursion, dont. It is not worth it. The bosses have such large health pools that snipers cannot get through. Just drop the idea.

It is going to make your time in the incursion terrible.

[grizzled apex]

then is chatterbox a good weapon

[true siren]

It is better than bullet king but its damage is still... not great.

[grizzled apex]

whats an auto exotic you would recommend for an automatic weapon build

the outcast one maybe?

[true siren]

St Elmo's Engine is the easiest and best overall.

[grizzled apex]

how do i get it and what does it do

wait its the taser gun, so i only need to know how i get one

[true siren]

Countdown, and read the message i replied to

[grizzled apex]

what kinda gun is it

[true siren]

Its an AR

[grizzled apex]

thanks man

whats a good alternative in the meantime, the outcast lmg?

[true siren]

Nope, that is so much worse

[grizzled apex]

the eagle bearer, ive got a bunch of different stuff

[true siren]

EB is also quite bad but can be used i guess

[grizzled apex]

bighorn, bluescreen

[true siren]

both not great

that will be my answer for most exotics. Not Great.

[grizzled apex]

what auto exotic should i use while working on the taser

[true siren]

Go run countdown with whatever you have until you get St Elmo's.

It doesnt matter what you use, its just gonna be "meh."

[grizzled apex]

ive got almost every exotic gun in the game, im only missing nemi, elmos, and the newer ones

[true siren]

This.

[hot basin]

run countdown,set target loot on AR and buy boxes for points,you will have it pretty soon.than build a 100 and 200 striker around it.than your set for everything that belongs to grp stuff.for your solo time,experiment what ever you want 🙂

[grizzled apex]

all of them are shit?

[hot basin]

or use a famas

[true siren]

For an incursion build? Yes. If you have a decent FAMAS or Carbine 7 with damage to target out of cover and fast hands or, like, strained then use that until you get St Elmo's.

[grizzled apex]

what about a basic ass countdown build just to get elmos

ive got lmgs, ars, snipers, rifles, even regulus

[true siren]

For a countdown build? use whatever, just anything that isnt a skill based build, so no turret drone builds

[hot basin]

doenst rly for countdown,1 person can carry all through it 😉

[true siren]

Check #td2-build-advice's pinned spreadsheet for builds. Made by the community, and kept up to date by the community.

[stone folio]

what is focus

and what is this thing

[grizzled apex]

that is the kingbreaker, it deals more damage to pulsed enemies

[stone folio]

ah

is there a difficulty requirement to get coyotes mask

[frank galleon]

On challenging countdown you get it in at least 20 tries

[night crow]

For the Ruthless, is its explosive damage increased by Explosive or Weapon damage, sometimes it just isnt the obvious one

[grizzled apex]

all i can tell you is to try it with and without the demolition spec

[supple bane]

out of curiosity is it allowed/within tos to own/use multiple td2 accounts?

[rugged stratus]

not sure, many do though

[supple bane]

many as in cheetahs or many as in legitimate players?

[nimble spruce]

both

[supple bane]

oki

[nimble spruce]

people who want more than 4 characters, for instance, and don't care about losing account-wide progress

(eg one account for softcore and a different one for hardcore)

[mental basin]

How much dps would i need for incursion?

[bronze storm]

All of it.

[mental basin]

Doesnt help i need to know a min number

[bronze storm]

You should at least be hitting above 1.2M per crit using Strikers and a weapon like St. Elmo's.

[thorn hedge]

Sounds about right

Well a lil lower without fi

[bronze storm]

That said, that's a low but decent bar from what I've played until now. Buffs from your healer and the usual suspects (Sledgehammer, Opportunistic, etc.) can easily make you reach between 1.5-1.8M per hit.

But that of course requires a little bit of coordination to get the most of the buffs and damage phases.

[thorn hedge]

I think your being a bit picky

[mental basin]

I dont have st elmos yet but im doing about 950k per crit with max stack striker

[thorn hedge]

That sounds good enough to me

Wait which gun

[mental basin]

rail spliter

eagle bearer does like 1.1 max stacks

[bronze storm]

Well, I don't have perfected builds yet, not even close whatsoever. So, maybe that's just me who wants to try to reach the highest damage possible.

[thorn hedge]

Good enough tbh

[bronze storm]

Still learning stuff, ngl.

[thorn hedge]

It doesn't matter

At long as you're not a carry nobody cares

[mental basin]

The only problem is i have no arrmor

[thorn hedge]

You'll get used to it

[bronze storm]

Oh, yeah. I am also made of crystal. One bad stare from the boss and I'm gone.

But that's fun in my book.

[thorn hedge]

I'm one of the only people you'll meet who unironically uses forge

[mental basin]

Would i go critdam or headshot dam?

[thorn hedge]

Crit

Especially for the incursion

[lucid mural]

Any reccs for skills for finishing named enemies?

trying sniper turret and blast sticky

[wanton frigate]

i just ran a seekers and flame turret with that phoenix gear set that makes it spin and makes you immune to it. its a easy mission

[rugged stratus]

use eclipse fire sticky/fire chem, depending on difficulty selected itll burn through the entire map

[mental basin]

got it on my first run !

[tribal hemlock]

Congrats!

[tribal hemlock]

Build?

[thorn hedge]

dont have pic rn since im on d1

you can prolly search my messages and i posted one at some point

[rugged stratus]

#td2-build-advice message
is it the forge/foxs striker?

[thorn hedge]

yes

[rugged stratus]

its linked Kestrel 🍻

[thorn hedge]

@tribal hemlock

[tribal hemlock]

Thank you! I just looked and I deconstructed all my forges 😂😂😂

[thorn hedge]

im confused

[tribal hemlock]

I couldn't think of a good use for them. I wanna try your build though so I'll pick one up. They drop pretty frequently.

[thorn hedge]

lol

also swap the reviver for fixer drone

[tribal hemlock]

If I have a tier 1 shield and pull out my shield while holding the kard custom and then switch to an AR (with the shield still open): what tier will the shield be?

[true siren]

while holding the kard it will "update" to tier 2, then as soon as you swap it will revert back to t1

[tribal hemlock]

ty

[supple bane]

How does over stacking materials work with the shared material upgrade bluepring thing?

[nocturne grove]

Few days ago, I got a d50 with determined talent. It stated that after a headshot, the next hit shot will be a guarantee headshot.

So doesn't this talent have an endpoint like after a few seconds? To me, it's like a 1-hit machine because of the infinite amount of headshots that can be done.

[supple bane]

I think for non perfect its just an endless cycle assuming you 1 tap

[worldly fjord]

first spend watch points then buy shared mats

[supple bane]

Interestiny

Am i able to do that multiple times?

With different characters

[worldly fjord]

yes

i once had like 30k of all mats

[supple bane]

Oki. I need optimization materials

[rugged stratus]

it doesnt really have an endpoint atm. it self procs on each "headshot" bodyshot chain, its considering almost anything a headshot. there is no time limit to use. even through death it remains procced.
the perfect determined is working as intended. technically regular determined was working properly as well, but was almost immediatly reverted back to its current form.

[supple bane]

The telesto of division 2 :3

[worldly fjord]

buy shared blueprints to be able to craft optimization mats. once you crafted as much as you need you can buy shared mats

[supple bane]

I dont have all the blueprints yet ;-;

[supple bane]

Is it on the chopping block for nerfs/patches?

[nocturne grove]

For the normal determined one, when was it reverted?
I bought the game a few months ago, during mid season 1 year 5, during a sale.

So can I get a perfect determine in any weapon like mmr?

[stoic flume]

Does anyone know how to get the rebuilding DC trophy?

[nimble spruce]

Perfect determined is locked to a couple of specific named items, prophet revolver and an automatic mmr, both of which are relatively weak base weapons, so not worth running even if they fix the talents to work the same way.

Personally I think they're trying to find a way to make determined work like you'd think it should: getting a bodyshot uses up the free headshot but getting a natural headshot doesn't. Currently seems like they can't tell the difference between a well aimed headshot and one forced by the talent

[rugged stratus]

Well, they kinda can if perfect determined works as intended...

[tiny stump]

why did they put perfect determined on weapons you can't one tap with...

[rugged stratus]

Yes, it is on the trello board, but it's already listing the fix as live.
So i doubt it gets changed

[low ermine]

Wish we could optimize mods

this 9,9% mod is killing me xd

[nimble spruce]

It doesn't though, with perfect you lose your proc on a 'true' headshot as well as a bodyshot - I think this is why they reverted regular determined back to the stronger option

[rugged stratus]

I didnt realize that. So perfect doesnt work at all. Fair point and the revert at least makes it functional

[supple bane]

nyehehhejehejehehe

:D

[night atlas]

Can i get the coyote’s mask from exotic caches

[worldly fjord]

yes

[night atlas]

And countdown?

[worldly fjord]

yes

[night atlas]

How lucky do i need to be?

Cuz ive gotten vile like 7 times now

Never anything else

[worldly fjord]

depends on the rng

[night atlas]

Okay thanks alot

[stoic flume]

Anyone?

[worldly fjord]

fully upgrading settlements? some side missions can upgrade them

check the reward secion

[stoic flume]

I think I did everything but seems like I am missing something

[stoic flume]

.

[worldly fjord]

looks like fully upgraded, maybe castle's rebuilding screwed this up?

[nimble spruce]

Side missions help the settlements but don't count towards the main 4/4 thing

If you can't see any more side missions then check Google for the hidden ones

[worldly fjord]

have you done all side missions like this that upgrade the settlements?

[stoic flume]

I have completed all side missions

[stoic flume]

It seems to be grayed out

[nimble spruce]

Including the hidden ones? (They don't show up until you find the mission giver in some obscure corner of West DC)

Could check your progression tab to see what might be missing

[worldly fjord]

are you lvl40?

you should have gotten this long before lvl 30 though

[stoic flume]

Trying to complete the base game first and clean up the trophies. I'm at level 30 (Made the mistake of boosting my first character, and had to start a new one)

[stoic flume]

Well, I have to find the hidden ones. But are they required for the settlement upgrades?. Coz I checked both theater and campus. I do have all upgrades unlocked

[nimble spruce]

Not sure if they definitely count but it's worth a try

[stoic flume]

That's theater

That's campus

[stoic flume]

I guess no other choice.

[jovial plover]

anyone know the best place to find a coyote mask?

[golden geode]

@stoic flume you cant use the castle fast travel to the castle now till you comeplet new york Campaign you have to walk to if before

[stoic flume]

Thanks. But I was under the impression the castle is not needed for that trophy (rebuilding DC)

[inner tendon]

@jovial plover As with 90% of loot in div2:

then either Countdown or Directives. ```

If you pick Countdown, also buy an Exotic Cache from the Countdown vendor every couple of runs for a bonus low chance.

[jovial plover]

Thank you

[velvet kernel]

hey can anyone tell me if buying the exotic caches are good for coyote mask

[thorn hedge]

i mean sure

[blazing timber]

Rng

[civic lily]

Do mounted machine guns scale with any weapon damage buffs?

[wispy merlin]

yeah

[cosmic salmon]

Am I better off trying to farm out optimisation materials, or grinding out CPs for the blueprints and getting them that way?

[inner tendon]

the Blueprints always roll at Normal Difficulty in the Crafting Vendor, so the best overall thing to do is:
farm out the gear until it's at least 80% perfect from the start, then optimise the last bit.

[supple bane]

for blueprint farming what is the optimal difficulty to farm checkpoints?

[kind turtle]

Where do you find people to play eith on xbox? No lfg channels for xbox

[supple bane]

you lack the xbox role

consult #557396261662097409

[kind turtle]

Ah I see

[supple bane]

🙏

[inner tendon]

They only drop from Control Points at Level 3 or 4, which is equivalent to Challenging and Heroic Difficulty.

[supple bane]

are there any blueprints that are locked behind heroic but not challenging

[inner tendon]

Nope.

[supple bane]

and are some faction specific?

[inner tendon]

and nope.

[supple bane]

oki oki

i need to fill out my blueprints and get the blueprints for crafting materials

is it guaranteed 1 per checkpoint and unlimited chances per week?

[inner tendon]

Yep, you can farm them all out one after another if you want.
And there's a limited number of them too, so you'll eventually get them all.

[supple bane]

is there a way to check how many i have out of total?

[amber pine]

Anyone ever counted how many targeted brand set items dropped in countdown in 1 run out of interest? 🤔

[cosmic salmon]

What is actually the recommended difficulty to play on actually? I mean I play on challenging a lot but I then sometimes hear everyone is on heroic.

[rugged stratus]

should be around 30-40 if you hit all caches

[amber pine]

Much appreciated, I'll work off of 35 as a rough asf average then, thanks!

[inner tendon]

@supple bane Actually yes, if you go to your Crafting Table, you can see where each blueprint drops from.

[pseudo tundra]

just for comparison, feel free to ignore

[grizzled apex]

the busy little bee looks like the top gun

but both are pretty similar

[pseudo tundra]

top gun is the pf45

[rugged stratus]

i carry the top one, its a s&w mp45 if its .45 cal

[pseudo tundra]

noice

[rugged stratus]

this is blb for reference. hope it helps

it does seem to follow the s&w irl model with the palm swell and areas its stippled

and this is from one of the wiki for div2 . definitley looks like the s&w in the photo

[thorn hedge]

are we still on this lmfao

[rugged stratus]

yeah why not

[supple bane]

cant you use blb for some goofy regulus damage on wright?

[nimble spruce]

they reduced the max damage you can do to the bosses in one shot I believe

haven't seen anyone's testing on the subject, but I'd hazard a guess you can't do more than one phase worth's of damage (approx 1/3 of his armor bar) in one go

[thorn hedge]

used to

[thorn hedge]

pretty much

[thorn hedge]

i actually came up with the idea to originally kill Feiser without actually doing any mechanics

lol

i saw you could sloooooooowly chip way at his health with scorpio poison xD

[rugged stratus]

Not in incursion. But the mechanic still works in other areas I imagine

[narrow kraken]

Hello, everyone,
I finished the second manhunt mission rescued the second character. I thought that would "fix" the fact that I still cannot speak with Cindy McAllister, the first character I rescued, even though she's there at The Castle.

Is there a way to fix that? Or do I have to reset the manhunts?

[tiny stump]

anyone know why there are two six12 blueprints in the crafting station?

[civic lily]

season reward

[severe fable]

Who knows how to install PTS help please

[wispy merlin]

there's no pts going on so you can't

[severe fable]

What Do I Need To Install It

[wispy merlin]

you need there to be an ongoing PTS

[civic lily]

this man needs his unicorns😭

[true siren]

There is no PTS currently available. PTS stands for "Public Test Server", which the devs use to gather feedback on new items/gameplay mechanics before an update comes out. There is not one scheduled, as the current season's launch was not too long ago.

[severe fable]

a familiar story\

thanks

[night atlas]

Whats the suggested shd level for doing incursions/raids

[civic lily]

Strikersbattlegear/1000

[night atlas]

Approximately how much time does it take to go from shd 0 to 1k

[civic lily]

Months if you experience boredom from repetition

so don't worry about it

[night atlas]

Okay,appreciate the help 👍🏻

[thorn hedge]

one was not enough

[rugged stratus]

depends on how hard you grind it. no set time. open world heroic with directives is fastest xp

[civic lily]

yeah you could just do a cp on 5 directives heroic with determined mmr 862 times from shd 0 to be shd 1000

[inner tendon]

Don't worry too much about speed-running the SHD grind.
div2 is a marathon, not a sprint.

[night atlas]

Got it

[rugged stratus]

no sweat , 3hrs a day doing this would have it 1k in under a month

[night atlas]

No way in under a month no?

[rugged stratus]

im making some assumtions with that timeframe . like a determined build, assumption of 5min clear of control point. 862 cps at that rate is 71-72ish hrs. is about 24 days at 3hrs/day

[night atlas]

Ahh makes sense but what if am just casually playing countdown on challenging it’d definitely take long than a month right?

[rugged stratus]

yeah , challenging cd is about 1 shd each complete

[civic lily]

It takes like a minute for determined mmr on the true sons cp next to tidal

No cover for the enemies

[rugged stratus]

but if you mix things up, do some open world, do daily project stuff and any events/leagues that are going on you can rack up a lot of xp without thinking about it

[civic lily]

and 30x less boring🛌

[remote wadi]

Secondary weapons stats and talents are only independent on that weapon right? It doesnt apply to main weapon?

[rugged stratus]

correct

[remote wadi]

Thank you!

[night atlas]

Yeah thats what im mainly doing am just gathering exotics and as much good gear as i can and enjoying the game mainly without any hard grinding besides some countdown farming

[inner tendon]

The nasty thing with those is that you have to physically be holding them for it to count.
which trips up a lot of people with the Kard's Skill Tier not counting unless you are physically holding it.

[rugged stratus]

at that rate its only 14hrs to 1k 🍻

[night atlas]

Like am not making it my main goal am just enjoying the game with soft farming main good gear and weapons

[remote wadi]

Countdown doesnt have directives right? (Thats why when I was doing CP I level up alot more than countdown lol.)

[rugged stratus]

yeah absolutely. no directives in CD. 4directive cp is an shd level

[remote wadi]

CP longer but gives alot of exp (cus of directives.

Countdown fast but gives less exp (but gives your wanted loot)

[night atlas]

Which is why im mostly focusing on countdown

[rugged stratus]

if you are in a good solid group or know the spawns really well cp can be really fast to complete

[remote wadi]

Agreed. I get it now too. Nice.

[fallow inlet]

Hey Local, Rivens, Eevee, Kettle, Aspect

[rugged stratus]

good afternoon Saph

[nimble spruce]

hey Saph

[supple bane]

this right (from the raid haz/regen tank build guide)

bc im pretty sure those arent empress brand. emperor's guard sure

[rugged stratus]

Nice catch

[tame basin]

SHD level is unimportant in Raid.

[wispy merlin]

@plucky hawk

[plucky hawk]

Yeah, just a type there. Emperor's knees, not empress

[delicate anchor]

anyone have any ideas as to why when I go and launch the general anderson manhunt it doens't let me launch?
It just says:
"Fast Travel Undiscovered:
I can launch countdown though.

[delicate anchor]

nvm there's no skill variant from that one so I don't care

[hollow frigate]

What is the best way to farm tactical assessments?

[fallow inlet]

Hey Raucey

[mellow trout]

Perhaps you don't have it unlocked from the season pass

Also it's a guaranteed exotic the first time you run it so

[umbral cave]

so with division 3 technically announced and with the technology we have now and what we will have in the foreseeable future
what do yall think about bringing back this type of ui from the division e3 gameplay reveal trailer

this is definitely doable now with how advanced our technology is

and while watching the video i thought about this
what do yall think of the idea of when you get a new weapon you feel like you really earned it cause right now its a pin on the floor and you pick it up and thats it maybe not for every single weapon you get but like with boxes it would have more life to it and for loot off the ground maybe some kind of pickup animation

[night crow]

Imagine a Division VR game

[umbral cave]

would have to be into the radius typa shit

[night crow]

But when you get headshotted by a rouge in the DZ with some stupid sniper your actual head explodes

[delicate anchor]

I'm 100 in the pass and I've been able to do the other ones I gathered some info people said you have to have someone else start it and then you can be invited and join.
After that it will unlock and you can finish it apparently

[tame basin]

The closest you can get to VR now in Division 1 and 2 is with the Tobii eye tracker. It is very fun to play with. I have one myself.

[stone folio]

what would yall consider the best sniper build

[little whale]

Need some help with getting the Nemesis blueprint. Reddit wont let me post my problem im having for some reason so im coming here lol.
I have all the part to the Nemesis weapon besides the blueprint, i've been doing the invaded Grand Washington Hotel misson for about 3-4days now and doing about 3-4hr per session of killing Puck but i have never once got it to drop. Am i doing something wrong?

[frank galleon]

on TD2 pc skill stop working, they get glitched and do not display when used and then i'm unable to use them anymore how can i fix it?

[sudden snow]

stuck here, any solution?

[blazing timber]

Just close it from task manager

[sudden snow]

I wanna open the game bruh 😄

[blazing timber]

Ik but you need to close it first

Verify the file integrity may e something is off

[worldly fjord]

That type of menu would be a pain to navigate imo

Looks cool but not really practical i guess

[thorn hedge]

Did that even make it to launch

[worldly fjord]

Nope

[thorn hedge]

Probably for good reason tbh

[umbral cave]

honestly i dont think so all you have to do is press up or down to get to where you want to go. like yeah i guess the menu we have now is more practical because it just has the boxes for the stuff you need but goddammit its so fucking boring i just cant stand the boxes anymore i want something interesting

[umbral cave]

its cause the hardware at the time couldn't handle it

[thorn hedge]

It 100% could

[umbral cave]

like with all ubisoft downgrades

[thorn hedge]

The game doesn't unload objects if you're in the map

Anyways

[umbral cave]

probably the really good shit like the stuff the devs had

[thorn hedge]

I still would see some problems with navigating for obvious reasons

[umbral cave]

navigating a up or down? after like a week you would get used to it

[thorn hedge]

I meant the map part

Not the scroll part

[umbral cave]

oh yeah the map is understandable

[thorn hedge]

The scroll part just feels needlessly complicated

[mellow trout]

Stylistically it looks cool but in practise its a lot less convenient

[umbral cave]

but its so much more interesting then boxes people are getting tired of boxes

[thorn hedge]

It's just such a hassle

Much rather press I to open inventory then scroll through a watch to pick a specific menu

[inner tendon]

I honestly would hate the idea of having to scroll through a menu to change things on the fly.
Also I forgot how dorky those fake voice-comms used to be.

[thorn hedge]

I think the fake comm thing could have been so much better

[umbral cave]

yeah the comms are very dorky "brace for pvp" like who tf says that ever

but were stuck with it i bet cause they had the same shit for the division 2 e3 trailers

[thorn hedge]

I don't watch e3

It's all beta that only.makes it to release 50% of the time

[distant walrus]

Y'all think a Famas, with DTTOC, and Preservation is a good drop? The attributes are practically full.

[inner tendon]

Preservation isn't exactly a top weapon Talent, but the dtooc with other stats high is nice.

[distant walrus]

Cuz I have a Famas with optimist and DTA for PVP but that's why I was wondering

Should I keep it and replace it with optimist? @inner tendon

[inner tendon]

Strained/Fast Hands is better in PvE than Optimist overall, but its your AR, do what you like.

[distant walrus]

Alright cuz I got mine already for PVP with DTA.

So I think I'ma just make this one PVE

[tiny stump]

preservation is overlooked. pair it with gunner and you have 20%/30% aok. its the only survivability you will need if you use it with an all red, squishy build

i only use it with strikers though because the damage is already so high that i dont need a damage talent on my gun. but not for PVP

[dense bolt]

real quick question, don’t know if this is the appropriate channel but what’s the difference between d1 n d2? still on d1 but thinking about getting d2 when it’s on sale on xbox.

just ping me if i’m offline, i’ll see it.

[inner tendon]

@dense bolt The games are quite similar to each other, but div1 is no longer receiving support updates whereas div2 is.
the other main difference between the two is that div1 feels a little less "arcade" and a little more serious, but that works in div2's favour for longevity.

[dense bolt]

I’ve heard from a friend that d2 has like 6 stories you need to do or can you do one and do some other things? while in for example like 2nd one or 3rd or 4th n etc?

like doing things in between n etc?

or is that just false about doing the campaign 6x?

should have said that mb.

[inner tendon]

Not quite, div2 has a single campaign in the base game that gets you from lvl 1-30, then a few "World Tiers" which are quite short and a bit plotty, and then the DLC which is an even shorter 31-40 campaign and then you're done with the main story outside of side things called "Manhunts".

You only really need to do that once, it doesn't take too long.

later on you can re-run the DLC to get crafting materials and such, but it's far from mandatory.

[dense bolt]

Could you give me a approx time or not probably possible?

roughly x amount of time?

or does it all depend on the level n gear of your character.

[inner tendon]

Oh gear level doesn't matter before you hit Lvl 40, you pick up anything and use that then junk it.

re: campaign.
It really does depend on how you play. If you're exploring it can take many hours, but if you just push through it can be a lot shorter.
20 for base game is not an unfamiliar time.

[dense bolt]

oh alright

that doesn’t seem as bad as my buddy is saying it is 💀

thanks though.

Will definitely pick that up when on sale

[inner tendon]

pre-launch the publishers were claiming 40 hours and like, maybe if you wander around a LOT.

[bronze storm]

Is the GEN Ramen apparel bugged? I had it on a Striker Chest and I wanted to change it but it keeps showing up on my agent. The slot is empty and I've tried to reload the game twice already.

[inner tendon]

I had that bug too, I fixed it by swapping the gear appearance to something else, re-opening the game, then re-adding it.
that might work for you, but no guarantee.

[worldly fjord]

why is there an "abandon" option on some projects that never does anything?

[inner tendon]

@pure jay You're looking for #lfg-playstation

[distant walrus]

Can someone remind me what Hazard Protection is good for again?

Nvm lol

[supple bane]

Protecting against hazards

:3

Emp, shock, fire, bleed etc etc

[supple bane]

Is expertise tied to individual weapons or shared across the 'weapon class'?

[tiny stump]

man, im trying to level up my expertise with printer filament. i spend somewhere around 2000 watch points at this point and i've gone up by like 1.75 levels

[inner tendon]

Try running Countdown with your TL set to what you're still low on.
just use the materials on things like junk skills, etc.

[inner tendon]

individual weapons.

[narrow kraken]

Whats the chances of getting that exotic rifle from the dz

The raid one

[sudden matrix]

.0072% is the chance iirc. After trying to check what it is idfk man it's like .24% or .024% or .072% or something low. I should just start saying it's less than 1% lol

Then you need to extract it too.

You are better off doing an LFG raid once a week with a group that already has it cause people will just open the box until they get one to share with you.

[fresh flame]

If i have the div2 dlc on ubisoft for pc can i get it transferred to ps5?

[supple bane]

Ravenous?

[inner tendon]

Sorry, there's no crossplay between either console and PC.

[sudden matrix]

Yeah rifle would be Rav and AR would be EB, both drop from the raid boxes at the end and also a tiny chance to drop in the DZ.

[blazing timber]

10% box chance and also can drop from bosses in raid

[sudden matrix]

I've done like 700-800 raids and have never seen the boss drop one tho.

[thorn hedge]

ive seen it twice

EB on weasel and ravenous on williams

[blazing timber]

Nice luck you got there 😂

[blazing timber]

After how many raids?

[blazing timber]

0% chances from boss for u

[thorn hedge]

700-800 DH and 300-400 IH

[blazing timber]

So around 0.125% and 0.25% xDd

[thorn hedge]

its a 1% chance drop of any exotic from each boss

[supple bane]

Ew. Raid weapons dropping in non raid areas

[thorn hedge]

so its around 1/30 percent

[thorn hedge]

its literally a 0.024% chance

[sudden matrix]

Yeah I did 4 DH runs this weekend and we got 3 new people an EB so just do the raids imo. DH is super easy too.

[blazing timber]

Dh is easy btw eb is just takes space in your stash cause even m4 with measured is better than it same with rav the thing you want is regulus

I play with double barrel nowdays is quite fun to play with

[supple bane]

Ew. 0.024% too much

[thorn hedge]

its literally 1 in 4166

[sudden matrix]

@ripe mulch

Looks like this.

[odd flicker]

hey ! when incursion reset ?

[sudden matrix]

Keys reset Monday night.

No idea why it isn't Tuesday like the rest of the stuff but eh it is what it is at this point.

[odd flicker]

thx - not understand - raid reset but incursion no -_-

[sudden matrix]

Incursions reset on Monday.

The key in the incursion.

The incursions key which is in the incursion.

[night atlas]

How big of a difference does it make when playing on challenging compared to heroic when it comes to exotics dropping in countdown

[night atlas]

Ty 🙏

[fallow inlet]

Hey Gogamer

[blazing timber]

Hi saph

[sudden orchid]

Anyone else still have the Paradise Lost bug where it is not resetting?

Haven't been able to do it since the last update 2 weeks ago.

[sudden matrix]

Not resetting? So you can't replay or are you saying you don't get a key or that the box it just stuck open?

[delicate anchor]

hey more of a tech related question for div 2 will putting Div 2 on my SSD improve the time it takes to move from one character to another? Or is that internet based?

[wraith granite]

dose the incursion not reset on tusday?

[sudden matrix]

Monday night.

[stone folio]

what is summit

[true siren]

its a (randomized) mission consisting of 100 floors, where you can select the difficulty (from normal to legendary) and a larger amount of directives, and you can select your own target loot

it has 2 exotics associated with it, the Capacitor (for doing 30 floors) and the Ridgeway's Pride, for getting 5 parts and (one from each 20 floor stretch) and then extracting from the top and then completing a series of random-feeling fetchquests

[stone folio]

is it wony locked and if not how do i get access to it

[true siren]

as far as i know it is locked to WONY

[compact arrow]

This may be the wrong chat, but I have not received the my code for Resurgence for the Testflight app. Everyone else has theres?

[mental basin]

Anyone know why my game starts so dim

[tiny stump]

i got this one with rate of fire today and i really cant tell the damage diff between the two. its very close. the rate of fire version is a little more fun to use though

[robust wave]

On what planet are Revolver Drum Slot mods hiding?

[mellow trout]

All I got is a speed loader

I heard there was a cool gift at the cd vendor what are the rolls

[blazing timber]

Haz and crit

[mellow trout]

Ahh

[blazing timber]

Basically a god roll

[mellow trout]

Always wanted one rolled to headshot and weapon handling

[tiny stump]

so i took a video in the range of getting as close of times as possible with the elmos w ROF and the elmos with DTTOOC. the end DPS counts were 15.8mil and 15.4 mil, so there was a bit of difference there. but i placed the clips side by side, starting from the moment the first bullet hits the target, to the moment the target begins moving up. the difference in TTK was the ROF version took 1.42 seconds. and the DTTOOC version took 1.49 seconds. so an extremely minute difference in time to kill

you literally cant even see it at all unless you slow it down to 20% speed

[mellow trout]

Time for me to get a second copy and roll on rof

[tiny stump]

theyre like exactly the same if you end up critting a similar amount of the shots when comparing

[mental basin]

How come i cant see expertise bar anymore?

[worldly fjord]

you maxed it

[mental basin]

But ive seen people with like level 20+

[worldly fjord]

thats the proficiency bar which goes up to 10, you maxed it and have upgraded it

[worldly fjord]

you need to raise expertise level for further upgrades

[mental basin]

How can i do that?

[worldly fjord]

by becoming proficient in more items

[mental basin]

so i have to get a bunch of other items to expertise 10?

[worldly fjord]

no no youre confusing the terms "proficiency" and "expertise"

proficiency rank 10 means proficient. being proficient allows for upgrades

[mental basin]

Im not really getting a clear answer

[worldly fjord]

im making it as clear as i can

its confusing i know

[mental basin]

You said by becoming proficient in more items. I upgraded 6 items and its still level 1

[worldly fjord]

upgrading emans spending materials

[blazing timber]

Each item/skill has 10 level to become proficient after that you need to have 20 item proficient for each level upto lvl14

[mental basin]

So i need to get a bunch of items to rank 10 and that adds to expertise level?

[worldly fjord]

yes

[blazing timber]

Yeah

[tribal hemlock]

lol every time i try to explain it, it's a reminder of how confusing it is

it actually makes no damn sense till you understand it fully lol

like you can't explain in parts that make sense on their own

[random field]

I got a second oroboros

I forgot what I was supposed to do again?

Like without dismantling it

[blazing timber]

Save it for your second character if it has dttoc than it is busted

[random field]

No it's armour damage 5%

Cc 21 damage 12

[blazing timber]

Dta is not bad but do you have one with dttoc right?

[tiny stump]

dta generally is weaker and less over all useful than dttooc

[rugged stratus]

-Green, this is your overall expertise level and dictates how many upgrades you can put on a proficient item

-Red, this indicates how many proficiency levels needed to achieve next expertise level. each individual proficiency level will raise this count. each item can contribute 10 levels to this number. so for example you will need 7 more items proficient to push to the next expertise level. this will raise even if you dont fully proficient items .

fun fact-
you can technically get to expertise level 21 without any items being proficient if everything is rank 9

[blazing timber]

Better than having swap speed and unable to reroll

[tiny stump]

oh hell yea

[random field]

Nope

Damage to armour and one with crit damage

[blazing timber]

Than keep the one with DMG to armour

And try rerolli g ctit DMG to dttoc

[random field]

Oh

[stone folio]

is grupo/ceska wony exclusive or something? i swear ive never seen those two before in dc

[worldly fjord]

Yeah it starts dropping in lvls 31+

[distant walrus]

Why is it the newer hunter masks, when you wear the hunter chest, your neck is still exposed, but when you wear something else the whole balaclava covers your neck??? Like why 😤

[tiny stump]

That's what the neckwear section is for

[sudden orchid]

I can replay, but I don't get any rewards. No key, so no chest.

[granite stump]

Can I swap shoulders on D2?

[regal summit]

Yea

It's even a mechanic used for the exotic rifle Ravenous

[sudden matrix]

While aiming press shift

[granite stump]

Do you know what the keybind is called?

[raven vigil]

Heyy, I got a question, do I need to do the "Manning National Zoo" again, because I don't see any other misson that could be the last one.

[civic lily]

If it only lets you select story difficulty, definitely try it

[raven vigil]

Thanks a lot!

[frank copper]

is Coyote a 7% drop on Jefferson Trade Center Heroic? im reading ppl say it drops on Hard or Challenging

or on whatever mission has targeted masks

[tribal hemlock]

don't know the % but 7% sounds high

countdown is a much better way to get it

with mask targeted loot

not sure why so many ppl are farming jefferson for it

[raven vigil]

am I missing some side missions or is it a bug?

[frank copper]

did you do the ones in NYC

[raven vigil]

I did not, I'm going to NYC.

So the last 3 are in NYC, huh

[frank copper]

yep

[raven vigil]

Thank you

[lucid mural]

hey, reading the giant div2 gear spreadsheet, what does LZ mean?

[tribal hemlock]

light zone = open world. opposite of dark zone.

[lucid mural]

oh that makes sense

just a general pve world drop

[stone folio]

is there lmb in wony

[thorn hedge]

I have a list of all side missions

But yeah the three you're missing are all from WONY

They should be New York Federal Reserve, Doyer's Street, and Castle Clinton

[civic lily]

no legendary liberty island yet

sadly

[thorn hedge]

Yet

👀

[civic lily]

Pls add it eevee it would bring me back to nyc

[stone folio]

wait so its just rikers and cleaners?

what happened to ny while i was gone

[thorn hedge]

Canonically the remaining LMB joined black tusk after mister heli man crashed (I forget his name)

[stone folio]

bliss

[thorn hedge]

Yes that guy

[civic lily]

lmb is in dc

[thorn hedge]

Mister heli man

[civic lily]

supposedly that's what white tusk is

[thorn hedge]

I don't think that's been proven

[stone folio]

why did the cleaners have a glowup and the rikers have a glowdown

[thorn hedge]

Outside of white uniform = lmb

[civic lily]

Lmb was white so it can only mean one thing

[stone folio]

and the rioters disappeared?

[thorn hedge]

Cleaners were led by an ex-engineer with ties to the NSA and rikers were led by some dude with a shield

[thorn hedge]

Either joined factions or died off

[stone folio]

ex fashion designer too they look a lot better than in div 1

[stone folio]

damn they were my favorite faction

[thorn hedge]

They weren't a faction they were a mob lol

[stone folio]

they were a faction and my favorite faction and you cant tell me otherwise

[thorn hedge]

@civic lily I heard someone a few years ago came up with an idea for a raid that was actually pretty awesome even to my standards

[thorn hedge]

I just did xD

[stone folio]

i feel like they were too organized to be a mob

[civic lily]

if it's anything like grand finale I'm out

[thorn hedge]

No

It was a concept design but not a huge overall setup

Which was an underground faction raid

Where they just cut the lights

Tell me that ain't cool as hell lol

[civic lily]

sharpshooter drone finally has a use

[thorn hedge]

Pistol flashlight

[civic lily]

I mean pistol flashlifht

[thorn hedge]

Lol

Isn't it such a cool idea tho?

[civic lily]

I'd be the only time the game gets dark so sure

[keen fog]

what does this mean

[civic lily]

global event

[rugged stratus]

means youre exposed. do a cover to cover move to transfer it

[heady stirrup]

How do I get Adrestia if i've already done the Nemesis quest?

[verbal topaz]

Use mats

[heady stirrup]

So you can't get it afterwards?

[dense basalt]

Do you have another character? You can run Tidal again just make sure nemesis and any parts are on another character. Adrestia will drop then

[heady stirrup]

No, I don't. Guess I just have to use resources then?

[civic lily]

ye

[heady stirrup]

Alright

[bronze maple]

Test

[elder lotus]

is the div2 season pass worth it?

[bronze maple]

@pseudo tundra

[elder lotus]

and also can someone summarize what the div2 is like playing?

[pseudo tundra]

third person cover looter shooter

[true siren]

replied in #td2-general-chat

[bronze maple]

@pseudo tundra

[true siren]

its a third person looter shooter, what more do you need explained

[pseudo tundra]

you wouldnt happen to have another lady death to compare the damage to would you? i dont think it's talents as much as the game was showing you the wrong number first and then got updated

try equipping and unequipping it

[bronze maple]

Already did

[pseudo tundra]

because i know for sure upgrading doesnt decrease damage

[bronze maple]

I don't have another lady death unfortunately

It happen just before I text this channel

And there is a moment where the damage didn't increase but it consume the upgrade material

And it's happen with my lady death too

[pseudo tundra]

my second reccomendation would be to check the damage on another CMMG smg to check if the numbers match

[bronze maple]

What is that?

[pseudo tundra]

really quick dumb question, if you move around with the gun equipped does your damage on the menu go up?

[bronze maple]

No

[true siren]

LD increases dmg when you have stacks only when you shoot, not when moving

[bronze maple]

I didn't use that setting

Where the damage number goes up

[true siren]

ok easier explanation- the UI will sometimes be wrong. Your damage didnt go down.

[pseudo tundra]

you get stacks that increase your damage when moving that are consumed on shots, dont know if it affects numbers on menu

[bronze maple]

Before this my damage was 58(

K

[true siren]

it doesnt bc they havent shot at all, and LD only amplifies the damage your enemy recieves

[bronze maple]

Wait sending the image

[pseudo tundra]

a quick test would be to upgrade any other random weapon and taking a screenshont before and after

[bronze maple]

What u mena by that?

[true siren]

take a screenshot of a weapon, upgrade it, and then take another screenshot

[pseudo tundra]

do that again with another gun and see if the number go down

doenst have to be an exotic, just any weapon

[bronze maple]

I must get the material first 😊

🥲*

[true siren]

but yeah, i'm just gonna say that the UI is just outright a lie

[bronze maple]

Any good place to farm titanium and steel?

[civic lily]

blacktusk own the titanium cartel in their pockets for some reason

steel can come from deconstructing and I think true sons

[wispy merlin]

the number on weapon only scales from weapon damage, LD stacks are amp

[wet skiff]

best way to find rogue agents for ridgeways besides summit or cps

[inner tendon]

They sometimes just wander around the LZ map if you really don't want to try specifically farming them.

and they have a chance to replace an encounter in missions.

[rugged stratus]

what you listed are the 2 best ways. you can repeatedly ascend elevator to checkpoint/lobby in summit to force their spawn.

[inner tendon]

Small clarification: Rogues can only spawn in a room if it's a) not a boss area, and b) if the door at the end of the room is closed.

[random field]

Is ladyofdeath good?

And how do I get backfire 🤔

[worldly fjord]

smg targeted loot

[random field]

Oh

[clever fjord]

Used to be just for pvp

Outclassed by ouro tho. Like all weapons

Hey Eevee, Aspect, Local, Rivens, Gogamer

[blazing timber]

Hi saph what's up

[fallow inlet]

DAY OFF

[blazing timber]

Nice enjoy

[rugged stratus]

good morning Saph ☕

[prime tulip]

Hey guys, it's been a while since I did iron horse and dark hours. I used to run them with NOM for speedrun clears and really enjoyed the different roles. Is there an updated guide on what builds I should have prepared to be marketable as a good raid clan applicant?

[sudden matrix]

For speeds? Or just normal runs?

[prime tulip]

Speed preferably, but normal is fine too. I am not sure if older builds like aces sniper are now obsolete due to hotshot. Or if DPS is considered a specific striker build. Etc

[sudden matrix]

For speeds you'll want oxy for railyard unless you are nego which it's pretty easy to build. Second boss it depends on your role but it's a nego headshot and a bunch of buffs and debuffs so it depends on your role. Aqua and sniper ally same thing, there are like tons of builds so it depends on your role, boss three most are running HE AR builds and in foam ally half the group goes back to boo so depends on what you are doing there too. Boss 4 is 4 head hunters, 1 key and stagger tank and two healers. idk it's kinda hard to say make these 20 builds when you might only use 5 ya know.

You should probably look up "Vrooom" discord as that's the spot for speed runners.

Might be able to find a team to run with in there too.

Also the IH speed and DH speeds and how the builds and roles are handled is really different per team.

[stone monolith]

is my game corrupted? just purchased the shield skin and its not showing up properly

[sudden matrix]

You try logging out and back in?

[prime tulip]

Ty @sudden matrix

[stone monolith]

yes

i just bought the game yesterday

[sudden matrix]

Yeah, I hope to see you in vrooom. If you want I can DM you an invite. Currently WR all plat is 6:52 for DH and 15:57 for IH closed doors.

[stone monolith]

just restarted my computer and still the same

[sudden matrix]

Issa playdough skin lol, yeah I got no idea. Could delete the shader cache or verify game files. Otherwise idk it might fix itself?

Or hit up #unofficial-troubleshooting

[stone monolith]

thanks

[thorn hedge]

pretty sure thats only the preview

dw mine does the same

[stone monolith]

should it look like this?

isnt the emblem gold?

[sudden matrix]

Is it blue or gold?

[true siren]

looks like you have it facing away from light

[thorn hedge]

yeah its gold

that just looks like bad lighting

[stone monolith]

ok found a better light

[true siren]

looks like... something is not right

almost looks like a similar issue i know some others have in other games where they are trying to run the game on hardware that has a hard time with it

[thorn hedge]

Wdym it looks right to me

[supple bane]

over my time playing i've just accepted that the lighting just never really works like you expect

[thorn hedge]

One room had bugged lighting that took six TUs to fix

Still not the longest standing bug tho

[loud saddle]

sorry, practically fell off the face off the internet world due to life changes and work issues and stuff....i do have that in a google spreadsheet (but the picture is just a picture of the spreadsheet itself)

[rugged stratus]

It's all good. I hope all is positive and you're doing well. Good too see ya popping in 🍻

[mellow trout]

When are they ever gonna bet rid of the dumb countdown crashes😭

[thorn hedge]

did anyone see this

[mellow trout]

Yeah we got a nice gift at the cd vendor

[thorn hedge]

fr lmao

[mellow trout]

Core needs some love but very nice

[thorn hedge]

no reason to complain

it could be hella worse

[mellow trout]

Now I can hoard gifts for when I inevitably make more characters

[thorn hedge]

y tho

[mellow trout]

Idk apparently its supposed to be quite good

And I wont have to farm it when I wanna make a good high end build

[thorn hedge]

no i mean why make more characters

[mellow trout]

Storage is getting a lil tight

[thorn hedge]

delete stuff?

[mellow trout]

Most of it is stuff I wanna put to use

[thorn hedge]

but you never actually do

[mellow trout]

That’s pretty true tbh

[thorn hedge]

thats hoarding lmao

[mellow trout]

Ill check the Recal library and see if there’s anything I can fill out and just decon anything that isnt in a load out

[thorn hedge]

ive never had a reason to make a character solely for storage

[mellow trout]

There’s that and the watch points but I’m only at 970

[thorn hedge]

but that doesnt have to do with buying 20 gifts

[mellow trout]

Just 2 or 3

[thorn hedge]

why do you need more than one lmao

[mellow trout]

Other characters innit

[cedar yacht]

hsd/wep for flex

[mellow trout]

More keys

[thorn hedge]

what do you use your other characters for

[mellow trout]

Wanted one of those for a while

[mellow trout]

I hear running incursions and raids on other characters give more keys

[thorn hedge]

@blazing timber

[blazing timber]

Lmfao 😂🤣

[thorn hedge]

i joined someone the second i changed spec and got warped into the underworld

for the duration of the cutscene

[blazing timber]

Nice remember when you were playing tidal with me my friend was firing from oceans

[thorn hedge]

lol

[hollow pendant]

when going after the midas and revenant hunters, if I kill one and collect the mask but get killed by the other, does that bug their spawn when I go back to try again?

[sudden matrix]

Not really. You've just gotta wait an in-game day or two usually.

Then you'll be able to spawn them again.

If they bugged and count as completed come by after server restart and the mask should pop up where they spawn.

[hollow pendant]

appreciate the answer @sudden matrix. What if its been irl years though... decided to hop back in today after a lengthy hiatus and wanted to finally check these hunters off the to-do list. I have the midas mask, but not the revenant mask. and as far as I can tell I'm doing the spawn steps correctly.

[sudden matrix]

Hmmm maybe look up another guide then. Some don't quite have it right. I don't remember that one or any by name tbh but I could look into it cause I'll probably remember if there is anything odd or specific.

[hollow pendant]

it's the one where you do jumping jacks in the pool at night. from the digging I've done it looks like this might a bug that was present when the game launched back in 2019. Would've figured this would've been fixed by now 🙁. Only work-around I've seen that might work is joining another player who hasn't done the hunters yet

[sudden matrix]

Oh do Potomac event center before trying that.

[distant walrus]

Y'all got advice for a new player. Helping a friend of mine level up his character before wony

[sudden matrix]

There should be red lights on in the pool if they are ready.

[sudden matrix]

Get their settings in line, fov, group skills on frame, all that junk. Give them build guides and show them the best farming spots. Teach them about the recal table and how they should handle loot. Unicorns should be taught to new players too. You might trash them if you don't know.

[distant walrus]

Noted

[hollow pendant]

@sudden matrix all hunter requirements are already done. I already have the Midas mask which is 1 of 2 that drop from the encounter.

[sudden matrix]

Yeah but it won't let you spawn them if Potomac event is green or invaded. Icon for the mission needs to be grey.

[hollow pendant]

ooooohhhh, I gotcha. True it is invaded right now. I'll try that, thanks man

[granite stump]

My colors are super muted/washed in D2. Unfortunately, the only color adjustment settings we have are Brightness and Contrast, has anyone else found a solution? Or has experienced just super bland colors in D2? I don't have the same issue in any other game

[sudden matrix]

Try turning off HDR mode. Forget where the setting is but that should fix it.

[granite stump]

That worked 🙃

Thank you

[sudden matrix]

I gotta know if this worked so let me know if you can.

[bronze storm]

Is someone else getting many DELTA errors and an atrocious lag constantly?

[dense bolt]

what is hardcore on div2? I played div1 so much but got div2 since the ultimate was on sale on xbox for 70% off, snagged for $36 bucks instead of $109.99

[bronze storm]

Is there any way to change the server the game puts me in? For some reason I'm in US East now.

[bronze storm]

If you die your agent is truly dead. You start over.

[dense bolt]

ah ok, different mode from regular I would assume?

[bronze berry]

It's the exact same game, just with perma death.

[dense bolt]

that’s what I meant but tired right now sorry, shoulda worded better 💀

[hollow pendant]

@sudden matrix sadly it didn't work. cleared the potomic event center mission and returned after 21:00 in-game. still not working 😦

[worldly fjord]

Minus conflict being disabled

[broken sinew]

What methods do you guys recommend for farming max attribute mods?

[tribal hemlock]

legendary missions

i got most of my best stuff from there

but occasionally heroic would drop a good one, like in countdown or something

[broken sinew]

Gotcha, which missions would you say is the easiest/fastest to grind?

[tribal hemlock]

district union. you can solo that one pretty easy until the boss.

boss can be a little tricky

i think you can easily shield peek pretty much every stage there except for garage. that stage is probably the hardest one.

if you dont mind taking like 10 min on that part you can run a hard wired seeker spammer and chill. but its boring 😛 if that bothers you then you can try to shield peek behind the first post on the left (my preference)

[broken sinew]

Thank you, i’ll give it a go. Would it be beneficial to run directives on legendary? Or would it not be worth the hassle

[tribal hemlock]

only if you want more xp or if the targeted loot is mods

since directives increase the drop rate of targeted loot

you can safely run everything but cool skills and pistolero tho

cool skills so you have your revive and pistolero b/c you need ammo 😛

i suggest looking up speed runners and see how they do it. you can replicate most of what they do unless they use regulus and you don't have a regulus

a lot of times they're using nego with shield peek tho

[covert moon]

i just returned after about 6 months hiatus (i was casual and still now) and I saw there are new game modes descend and incursion, any of these something I should bother right now? do they give some new functionality or special stuff?

[sudden matrix]

Yes, they give A LOT. Incursion has a new exotic exclusive to it, called the ouroboros and it's OP af. Descent has reconstruction caches that have a named item blueprint in each one you get. New season too and a league and GE is currently active.

[blazing timber]

😂🥲

[sudden matrix]

Shhh you can't join.

[blazing timber]

#SPS

[covert moon]

thx, but probably I should have phrased in a way like is it something i should jump on as a casual? as i see now on the videos the incursion thing is something like a raid... and it is heavily relied on gear and stuff... is it apermanent event so I can just take time to learn it or it is something that require effort right now?

[nimble spruce]

It's permanent, and not overly difficult if you've got a top end striker build (which is not difficult to assemble)

[covert moon]

yes I saw that is now the go to gear, I will have a look into that thank you

[sudden matrix]

Yeah both are here to stay and if you need help with the incursion I'll probably be helping run first timers/people who need to open the box this weekend if you wanna learn or see how it goes.

[covert moon]

thank you, I have to farm the gear first I will see how that it goes and watch some guides to have an idea what I'm doing

[sudden matrix]

Well just so you know you could show up with any build and no knowledge and we'd be happy to help and teach. I usually set up teaching/carry stuff so we can do it with just 3 of us ya know. So you'd be able to chill and just learn and stuff.

[fresh flame]

What are some of the trophies I can lose out on if I boost from world tier 1 straight to 5 so i can jump into the dlc? Its saying i will lose out on some trophies.

[inner tendon]

Just to clarify, boosting doesn't get you to World Tier 5, it instantly skips all the World Tiers and makes you Lvl 31 and at NYC.

[fallow inlet]

i would just recommend to just wander thru wt5 then jump

[inner tendon]

You can always make an alt character if you want to get anything you missed out on or see the story content. It's recommended to have your first char be "slow" then skip alts.

[fallow inlet]

to nyc

ive got 1 thats main , 1 character is storage , 1 is hard core , and the final is my wony mule

[fresh flame]

Ive done all that on pc already but i moved to ps5 and just started again

[inner tendon]

pretty much this is your option if you want to get anything you missed out on at a later date. There's not a lot, in regards to trophies/achievments/whatever.

[fresh flame]

Understood thanks 🙂

[sudden matrix]

There are two types of boost. One will take you right into NY and the other will just put you at WT5 lvl 30. The 30 one is done in the store>add ons. All you've got to do is get to the whitehouse talk to Manny and unlock 1 skill at the quartermaster.

[inner tendon]

Don't bother doing that though, there's basically no point as post WONY is the actual endgame.
I guess if you need a very specific thing from post Lvl 30 Pre WONY then you have an option.

[sudden matrix]

It's actually really powerful if you wanna quicken your wony runs, you can make a hardwire set and skills scale as you level, you'll be squishy later on but you can't craft hardwire once you to to NY. Like you said it's more options ya know.

[lunar ice]

hunting a dark winter. is this a dz exclusive?

[inner tendon]

It is, but you can also get it from Named Item caches and (because it was once in a Season Pass) Legacy Season caches.

[lunar ice]

thx

[nimble spruce]

if you're extremely lucky you can get the blueprint from descent and craft your own

[inner tendon]

you can also also also get it from the Named enemy at the end of each phase of the Manhunt, as they have (pretty much) all Named Items in their drop pool.

but if you're farming it because someone told you it was OP or meta or whatever, it's not. I love it, but it's just not.

[civic lily]

killer is an annoying talent to proc

100% chc when(not diamond back)

[sudden matrix]

Ha ha killed em, oh wait it wasn't a crit, dang namit.

[thorn hedge]

Talent: Hammerhead

Killing an enemy with a melee attack grants guaranteed critical hits for 15 seconds

[civic lily]

Equipment or weapon?

[thorn hedge]

Equipment

[civic lily]

new lady death build 👀 👀

I mean sweet dreams

[inner tendon]

cut to the Agent with it on being riddled with bullets because they had to run over to a group to proc it.

[thorn hedge]

Balanced imo

[civic lily]

rookie mistake of no banshee pulse

[thorn hedge]

You'll see dps builds running sweet dreams

[civic lily]

elmos and ouro no longer meta exotics

[thorn hedge]

I was thinking put it on gloves

[inner tendon]

I run it all the time, because I have nothing better to add in the other slot and why not get a joke kill every 15 seconds.

[thorn hedge]

ACS on striker

[thorn hedge]

FAMAS on top 🙏

[sudden matrix]

Hot swap it honestly.

[thorn hedge]

He meant in terms of chc

Because of elmos high chc

OHWAITNVM

YOU CANT DUAL RUN EXOTICS EITHER

[civic lily]

of a cliff 🙏

[thorn hedge]

Should it roll with a CHC attribute

[civic lily]

that goes against the rules of new exotics

[thorn hedge]

Not gear ones no

[civic lily]

yes then

[thorn hedge]

Gear exos are still locked

[civic lily]

not 500% melee damage pls

[thorn hedge]

No it has CHC and handling

And weapon DMG of course

Wait no better idea

Not exotic but named backpack

[civic lily]

no memento D:

[thorn hedge]

Mate you couldn't dual exotics anyways that wasn't an option

[civic lily]

named backpack

is not an exotic

[thorn hedge]

Yeah but it's either that or exotic other gearpiece

Because regular items can't have talents

[inner tendon]

certain Named items do have unique attributes though, so just change it up a bit to fit one of those.
e.g. nightwatcher mask.

[thorn hedge]

But this is a full talent lol

So not applicable

[inner tendon]

I mean, it's a bad talent either way, so why not make it less awful?

[thorn hedge]

Guaranteed crits for 15 seconds is not "a bad talent"

[inner tendon]

15 seconds of crits. and then you have to run back out and get 1-tapped by an enemy's melee again.

[civic lily]

we could have a named chest with perfect reassigned. Gives you a full mag of critical ammo for 15 seconds

after getting a melee kill

[thorn hedge]

Rivens there's a lot of people who don't die when they face tank as dps, that's what speedrunners do

[thorn hedge]

Critical ammo doesn't exist

[civic lily]

hollow ammo didn't exist before

[thorn hedge]

They altered the talent entirely

[civic lily]

invent a new ammo for one item

[thorn hedge]

You're asking for a redesign of reassigned lol

[inner tendon]

This Talent is making less and less sense.
guaranteed crits for 15 seconds is fine for this, but also another form of guaranteed crits is too much, and also this should be for a tank build for speedrunners.

if we lock this to Lengmo I think it wins the bingo for weirdest item in the game.

[civic lily]

It's a good opportunity to make a trash chest talent good while still being designed around its original function

[thorn hedge]

Lengmo deserves to be exiled

[civic lily]

I like 1pc bonus

[thorn hedge]

Honestly the weirdest item in the game is cherished

[inner tendon]

Hey as long as you like it.

[civic lily]

[thorn hedge]

I don't

[civic lily]

should lock it to the newest brandset with 5% weapon handling 30% mag size 20% ammo capacity since devs are incapable of making new named items on older brandsets

[inner tendon]

That's written as a joke, but I would absolutely use that brandset.

at least as a 1pc.

[civic lily]

same but the talent is out of pocket

[thorn hedge]

Isn't 1 piece walker 5 weapon damage

[civic lily]

Not weapon handling tho

[thorn hedge]

Right my bad misread

I trolled a group in dz last night

So confused while I spun in circles and punched them to death

[civic lily]

that's a weird excuse

[thorn hedge]

It's not an excuse just a random thing that came to mind on the topic of melee

[civic lily]

lol nice

[lucid mural]

how long does a typical countdown last for?

[thorn hedge]

Id say 20 minutes

That's if you do everything as slowly as possible

[civic lily]

that's a typical countdown for ai players maybe

[lucid mural]

bahah g otcha

[fallow inlet]

I didn't realize when you recaled orobro it changed talents

[sudden matrix]

Wha? you can't recal exotics. You mean reconfigure? The third talent will randomize yeah but idk what you mean changed talents.

[fallow inlet]

Correct

[wispy merlin]

pog proficiency cache drop

[civic lily]

rare sighting of proficiency caches dropping more than expertise/decon fodder

[tiny stump]

i get god rolled stuff from proficiency caches fairly often

proficiency cache

[wispy merlin]

nice

[mental basin]

why am i stuck

game is so bad lmfao

[thorn hedge]

Wdym

[wary spoke]

How do I get ammo in the shooting range with Pistolero active?

[true siren]

take off pistolero

[wary spoke]

Is that the only way?

[true siren]

if shooting the targets with your pistol doesnt work, there might be another way but its probably easier to just take pistolero off and then reenable it when u want it back on

[wary spoke]

Ok, thx!

@true siren 🤦I just discovered that the shooting range has a dedicated options area on the wall just outside the door that lets you change difficulty & directives just for the shooting range!

[true siren]

nice!

[robust crane]

Does x2 XP events affect proficiency rank accumulation?

[rugged stratus]

yes, for 15 levels

err. i dont think expertise. thats determined by kill xp. im not sure if the kill xp is doubled or not

[tribal hemlock]

you can also shoot the little numbers hanging from the ceiling to keep the targets at that distance 😄

[lunar ice]

nah. i use the grudge with vindictive rn. but i use st elmos. with striker. but dw is stronger than the grudge, so its a secondary weapon upgrade. i don't rely on it much. but its a good compliment to the elmos.

[fallow inlet]

Hey Aspect

[robust wave]

Am I just missing it or is there no TL for Empress today?

[true siren]

it can happen

more and more common as more brands & gearsets are added, not enough missions & areas for all things to be represented, in cases like these you just have to use summit & countdown

[robust wave]

nods

Just wanted to be sure I wasn't overlooking it.

[true siren]

i mean you might be, but a bunch of missions are just.... not great to run for loot

[mellow trout]

THATS A THING?

[tribal hemlock]

yea. good way to test coyote's and stuff like that.

@timid vessel

[inner tendon]

If you're using it to stack Strikers up, you really do want to think about changing to another gun instead.
vector's are not good choices for building up those stacks as it takes longer to actually do it, since each "pellet" from a single shot of something like an acs-12 counts as a Striker stack. Which IIRC is 8 pellets per "shot".

[raven kernel]

i have tier2 pulse and tier6 shield from blue cores+momento, if i take off momento then it goes to T5 shield T1 pulse

i currently have technician skill tier +1 unlocked, but it doesnt seem to change anything

[sudden matrix]

Skill tier starts at 0 so this all seems correct tho.

[raven kernel]

o lmao

thanks i didnt realize mb then

[sudden matrix]

All good lol

[digital chasm]

Contractors or Grupo gloves for sniper in DZ?

I feel there about the same

My gut tells me Contractors

[tiny sparrow]

What does TTK stand for at the shooting range? TIA

[tiny sparrow]

Got it, time2kill

I forget 2 Google sometimes srry

[thorn hedge]

CG

Don't go into crit

[digital chasm]

Someone told me don’t use Coyotes

[thorn hedge]

CG = contractors gloves

[thorn hedge]

You see here's where I disagree

Nemesis is pretty bad in pvp

[digital chasm]

I kinda tend to agree

[thorn hedge]

You're stuck in the open for 3 seconds with perfect glass cannon on

And I have at least 300 hours of pvp with sniper specifically

[digital chasm]

Exactly

[thorn hedge]

So lemme tell u

Don't run crit lol

That suggestion was on the basis of actually going for crit

So don't go for crit go for HSD and you're golden

[digital chasm]

So take off Coyote?

[thorn hedge]

Yes

[digital chasm]

What would I use?

[crude wave]

when does the incursion chest reset?

[thorn hedge]

3 hotshot, sacrifice, airaldi backpack with vigilance, contractors gloves

[digital chasm]

Im using the gift currently with Fox prayer and perfect GC

[thorn hedge]

That's what I ran few nights back

[thorn hedge]

Drop the gift it doesn't help

[digital chasm]

Ok

Interesting

[thorn hedge]

Airaldi gives you the Marksman rifle damage

And 3 hotshot is just broken

[digital chasm]

@thorn hedge No fox?

[inner tendon]

Fox is usually recommended for this build, I'm curious why Contractor's specifically over it.
or is it a much of a muchness?

[digital chasm]

Well I use both actually

With GC

[thorn hedge]

Not in cover = no fox
In cover = fox

Not in cover = contractors
In cover = contractors

More use out of CG

[inner tendon]

Don't forget that Contractor's only does something to enemies that have a white bar over their health.

So it's less equivalent overall.

[digital chasm]

@thorn hedge mind posting yours?

[thorn hedge]

I'm not online rn

[thorn hedge]

This is pvp btw

[inner tendon]

Hotshot in PvP, well that's novel I guess.
Fill your boots, don't mind me.

[thorn hedge]

3 piece not 4 lol

[digital chasm]

This was you right?

I remember now. I saved it

[thorn hedge]

Damn I forgot I sent a photo here I was confused as hell where that photo came from xD

It's not optimized cuz I slapped shit together but yeah pretty much

[digital chasm]

So in other words my build is pretty try hard lol

XD

[digital chasm]

So why one white death with optimist?

[thorn hedge]

Because optimist technically does more damage

Originally the one with ranger had a scope but I guess I removed it at some point

[digital chasm]

Interesting, Raucey mentioned using ranger over Determined but you say Optimist

🤔 I’ll try

[thorn hedge]

if he brings it up tell him it was swift's idea lol

[inner tendon]

Taylor really does just have all the talent.

[digital chasm]

So optimist is the go to for shotguns, Snipers, AR’s etc

It’s that good?

[thorn hedge]

i cant say for other weapons in pvp

[blazing timber]

I guess in PvP is good cause optimist give you more than any talent when you take in account PvP is dominated by blue cores the more blue core the more optimist give you

[digital chasm]

So therein lies the question then, wouldn’t that require you to use an all blue sniper build?

[rugged stratus]

Itll be less useful on an all red

[blazing timber]

Nope for sniper it is not good cause for sniper you go for one or two shots per kill

And there optimist will not help you that much

[narrow kraken]

How can I See my The Division 2 stats? The Control point stats are buged

[lunar ice]

no. i use the st elmos to stack striker. the grudge is just there for when enemies get to close, at top stacks the grudge hits way harder than st elmos. i can get up to 1.7mil with elmo and the grudge hits 2.2mil but the range is very short.

[thorn hedge]

inventory -> stats

[mellow trout]

Use the lefty/rock and roll

You will stack significantly faster

[thorn hedge]

I use RnR and sledge kard

[mellow trout]

Rock and roll is really nice for strikers chest

[lucid mural]

just got a vault in countdown then like half the lobby left, what's the deal with that?

[mellow trout]

Because certain chests can crash everyone's game

[tiny sparrow]

Yea my game crashed plenty of times in CD, very disappointing. Surely it hasn't stopped me from logging back in and go straight back into CD. I just love it.

[tiny stump]

big mag ouro

[tiny sparrow]

Is every1 in the shooting range today lol. I'm on hunt for new weapon.

[green pendant]

Can I buy all apparel event nexus’s outfits instead of grinding event apparel keys ?

[inner tendon]

As long as the Apparel Event is active, yes you can buy the keys with Premium Credits.
or if it's not, at some later point the individual items in it will get added to the Store, but that will take a while.

[green pendant]

Yes so I get the power bank uniform ?

[fallow inlet]

As long as you open All the event chests

[remote wadi]

Just curious cus I cant find it. Whats the item that spawns a blue triangle cone underneath and behind the character when deploying a shield?

[rugged stratus]

its the firewall shield. if youre in the cone behind them you get an amp damage on stuff on the other side of the cone

[distant walrus]

Just out of curiosity, is it possible to run an all Red Striker build in the incursion. BUT is there a possibility to Run the Striker Build with a few Blue Cores??

[stone folio]

how do people get like 4000+ shd level

[mellow trout]

Playing a lot

[thorn hedge]

It used to be from exploitation

[bronze storm]

That explains those 2 players on Countdown the other day who were slightly above 123k SHD.

Like, "do they ever stop playing this game or what?" were my thoughts.

[blazing timber]

No?

[thorn hedge]

Faye Lau was exploitation and f10 was exploitation lmao

[blazing timber]

Resource convoys

[thorn hedge]

Id make the argument it's no different than f10

[remote wadi]

wheres the part of technician that says it adds revive hive charges?

[thorn hedge]

It doesn't, it adds one skill tier that's it

[wispy merlin]

it's the free skill tier

[blazing timber]

It doesn't require mods or skill tier

[remote wadi]

I see thank you!

[blazing timber]

Faye farm was game breaking you can't say that for f10,f100 and convoys hell dev knew of convoys and it didn't do any harm to the game so it is not an exploit

[thorn hedge]

If it was only because of game breaking they could update the servers and problem solved

It was more than that

Either way it's semantics; they got SHD level through means that no longer exist

[blazing timber]

Well that can be said for open world activities cause you get less xp for elite activities after changes

[thorn hedge]

Wdym

[blazing timber]

I meant that before xp nerf elite activities like patrol territory control gave way more xp now they just give way less

Quoting"Either way it's semantics; they got SHD level through means that no longer exist"
