[rugged stratus]

There are a lot of reviver in matchmaking 💯

[clever fjord]

Yeah open world might as well respawn and fast travel faster than the reviver hive reviving you lol

[blazing timber]

Say that to somebody on HC

[rugged stratus]

I been running skill builds a lot but no issues with coolskills d. Mortar/hive/btsu makes easy work of that directive 😂

[clever fjord]

Deploy drone before turret

[inner tendon]

I don't know what kinda wonky teams y'all are running with, but most people who I backup for are either just not dying or rage-quitting after their first death.

[clever fjord]

That's for drone turret builds anyway

[blazing timber]

I use 6pcs 5.11 setup from time to time with random matchmaking

[rugged stratus]

I do primarily backup calls/matchmaking.
There are definitly all types

[inner tendon]

If anyone ever wondered why the game population is lower these days than it used to be, I am putting sole blame on this Agent.

[clever fjord]

I don't matchmake that's the thing lmao. At most i'd have my pvp guys join up and i'd clear content for xp

[inner tendon]

There is also the fact that the game counts you as "open for backup" even if your group is just set to open.
So if you just sit in base with an open group, it will claim that you called for backup to someone.

I've tested this out, it's incredibly annoying.

[rugged stratus]

Dont use open group 🍻

[clever fjord]

Is this the reason why i got an insta invite from someone when i opened call for backup for just a millisecond?

[inner tendon]

No like, having your group in social not set to "dnd" or "closed" or "friends only"

It's counted as actively calling.

It's been the case since at least 2020, possibly earlier.

[rugged stratus]

Yeah I understood 👍
Never really need an open group

I just leave mine private for the most part. And either matchmake or goto calls. I usually get one as I login each time. Lotta needy agents 😂

[inner tendon]

I have to leave mine set to open or the game does this ....fun little thing where after you try and matchmake for something, it locks your group.
I talked to support, it's entirely intentional and you have to go back to social and change it again afterwards. Every. Single. Time.

[rugged stratus]

Havent noticed that. Private sticks. If I set do not disturb itll be friends/clan when I relog tho...

[cloud stream]

this is the most upset moment throughout the whole division 2

[inner tendon]

If you're trying to farm Coyotes from Coyote herself, you'll have a lot more upset moments before you actually get it.
It's a single chance per run, where-as Targeted Loot is a smaller chance, but from every single enemy

[cloud stream]

man i need my pepe, and i hate burst firemode guns

[rugged stratus]

Solid component you have there

[dense whale]

u need coyote?

[cloud stream]

the only thing that can be tolerated to have semi fire mode is sniper rifle like SVD

yeah the mask

[dense whale]

send me frnd req then

the same in game name

[cloud stream]

wut? wow ty

[inner tendon]

Coyotes is probably the best overall Exotic gear in div2, at least right now.
Guess we'll see what is buffed up when Resolve actually releases.

[inner tendon]

Don't get too excited. You can only give someone loot if you were in the same team when it was obtained, and only within an hour of playtime.

[rugged stratus]

Idk, memento is a pretty hard working piece 🍻

[inner tendon]

Memento is a hard-fought runner up, mostly because of the limitation on getting the kills yourself.

[dense whale]

obviously,he has to play with me 🗿

[cloud stream]

added

[dense whale]

wait,loggin in

[inner tendon]

They're trying to farm Coyote for Coyotes mask, I assume they know very little about div2 overall.

It's a fairly safe assumption to make that people just don't know something on this server. We tend to cater to newbies, which is good, keeps the game population healthy.

[dense whale]

is ur ign Aa456?

[cloud stream]

hold on

[inner tendon]

Okay so you just don't read replies then.

[inner tendon]

Read this. Follow it.
Do not farm Exotics from specific Named Enemies.

[dense whale]

i got it on heroic lol
yesterday
then dropped for @meager sun

on my 1st attempt lol

[rugged stratus]

This one has all the luck 👆

[dense whale]

man,i dunno
this week was wild

[cloud stream]

aight

[dense whale]

i didnt even imagine that i would own 7 bighorns

[cloud stream]

any assault rifle exotics with 600RPM?

550-650is fine

[rugged stratus]

You spelled components wrong 😅

[dense whale]

bruh
grind for St Elmo

[dense whale]

fr

[dense whale]

is ur shd lvl 57?

[cloud stream]

yeah

[inner tendon]

None go below 700.

[dense whale]

accept my invite

[cloud stream]

i just restarted my game

wait wut?

[dense whale]

ok

[cloud stream]

sad

[inner tendon]

Capacitor is the lowest RPM of an Exotic AR. 700 RPM.
If you're wondering about the Merci/Ruth, it's classed as a Rifle.

[cloud stream]

no

i just got a merciless , and it looks horrendous

[rugged stratus]

Unlocks godmode tho /s

[inner tendon]

It's actually not all that bad, it's just kinda niche to enjoy.
Hopefully Resolve takes a look at it.

[cloud stream]

its the playstyle for me tho, not the stat

i hate burst fire mode weapons, unless its grenade launcher

u can correct me buut, under same conditions, like same gear, same build, theres no way burst firemode weapons can out damage full auto weapons

[dense whale]

accept invite 1st

[inner tendon]

I'm more used to the style of holding the trigger to release the 2nd shot due to a certain shotgun in WF.

[cloud stream]

sry

[inner tendon]

Also, on 7 stacks it does +500% weapon damage in a 7m radius, which is a lot of fun.

technically it's a 500% amp shot and a 500% wd explosion, but that's just splitting hairs.

@civic folio There are always going to be cheaters around, but the matter is being worked on in an upcoming update. It should lessen any issue there is.

We actually don't encourage conversations about hacks and such on the server in general, but yeah it can be an issue.
Oh well, nothing to do but see what happens.

[cloud stream]

aight then i gonna stop here lol

ME WALK LIKE SHADOW

btw i just tried merciless

with that recoil and firemode, nope

this is my fav gun so far

high dmg, around 600RPM

[inner tendon]

It's actually getting a buff soon, base DMG iirc.

[cloud stream]

welp

[inner tendon]

55k to 60k on base.

[cloud stream]

600RPM is my standard to judge a good assault rifle actually
u know high RPM gets lower dmg while lower RPM hits harder , its totally acceptable

[inner tendon]

Actually right now, the "meta" best gold AR is the Famas.

To make sure, you are holding the shot and releasing on 2nd shot, right? Merci/Ruth isn't really a burst-fire exactly, it's more controlled chaos.

[cloud stream]

it is

[inner tendon]

Yep exactly, trigger pull and then release. As-in, if you hold it, it doesn't fire the 2nd shot.

It's weird to get used to, and not really worth it right now. But hopefully that changes with Resolve.

[cloud stream]

hard to say bruh , the category "rifle" in my mind usually means full auto assault rifles or sniper rifles

but u know in this game rifle is a mix of these two

[rugged stratus]

You'll find both carbine 7 and st elmo are very stable like the mk16

[cloud stream]

yeah i hope it changes

[jade blaze]

Yo any tips for a returning player? Havent played in over a year so im missing all the new gear etc, where should i start?

[cloud stream]

yeah st elmo is the only option for me now

bighorn talent just ruined itself

eagle bearer , hard to say, was struggling between that and st elmo, but i choose st elmo

im going for full red weapon build, so capacitor cant

[dense whale]

bighorn is getting a talent buff next season

[cloud stream]

chameleon has the most aggressive skill among all AR exotic

but its range are small?

[dense whale]

its technically a Vector

but for some reason it s an AR

[cloud stream]

i can see that

again, bighorn by itself is just a rifle

[dense whale]

nope

its AUG

AUG is considered as an AR

[cloud stream]

because 99% for me, i aim

[dense whale]

it has 2 modes
auto mode, and scope mode
scope mode is semi auto

[cloud stream]

the playstyle is

[dense whale]

but Normal ADS is auto mode

[cloud stream]

ohhhhhh

[dense whale]

bighorn is a OK weapon

[cloud stream]

st elmo more like a support type ?

because u can disrupt enemies

[dense whale]

its dps lol

shock is just its talent

[cloud stream]

its talent is shock ammo

[dense whale]

look at the RPM
does support weapon have high rpm?

only DPS weapons have high RPM

imo

[cloud stream]

aight

AR: bighorn + st elmo (dw eventually i will have them all, just matter of time)

shotgun: scorpio

handgun : liberty

sniper : nemesis

the only talent i need for rifle is full auto trigger

if any rifle has that, i will use that rifle lol

[cloud stream]

bruh what about ammo economy and recoil lmao

[sage delta]

its ouroboros zero recoil

[mint rampart]

Still no Meet Birdie and debrief the events after I finish all include Brian Johnson

[hard blaze]

whats the % for a boss in Incursion dropping Ouroboros? 😄

[clever fjord]

1%

Congratulations

[maiden mantle]

What AR'S or LMG'S would you guys recommend I try with Heartbreaker??

[cedar yacht]

Any that can use tech laser

[maiden mantle]

Gotcha

[sage delta]

its really so low? got it on first run

[mint rampart]

Anyone can give me advice to why I'm stuck at Birdie debrief

[cedar yacht]

The boss is 1% but the chest is 10%

[misty harbor]

can anyone tell me where da F can i find the outcasts enemys 💀

[sage delta]

east part of map

[sweet kite]

Hey, how to find Lz drops which should come on 1st and 15th of month? Any info pls?

[vivid mesa]

Hi, this may be a stupid question, but when I try to launch Faye Lau manhunt from the legacy manhunt menu, I get the loading screen to camp white oak but then, the mission itself is The Recruiter. Is there no way to do the legacy manhunt?

[signal brook]

How to create a group?

[timid vessel]

@vivid mesa u have to toggle it, i think the key is G

@sweet kite those drops r from Div 1, not in Div 2

[sweet kite]

ah fok seems i remembered wrong thx 😛

[native sparrow]

where do you get a backpack named festive delivery

[novel moon]

why havent i seen any enemy groups attack my control points?

[jade blaze]

any1 that wants to carry me through summit heroic diff while i hide in the corner like a good lil boy? 😘

[sage delta]

i not sure what means "make sure they are already on the move" ?

[sweet kite]

that they started their walk? (on map u can see)

[misty harbor]

isnt is possible to get ST elmo on countdown? did 5 6 runs for auto rifles no exo did twice shotgun runs got 4 or 5 exo shotguns

[civic lily]

you're just unlucky

run more ar runs

[misty harbor]

well i know that its not something new

[novel moon]

bruh no one is taking any of my control points

am i doing something wrong?

[bronze torrent]

Just reset your map if you want new control points

[novel moon]

k thanks

[sage delta]

really? how so? its resource delivery or what

maybe in need to reset Cp near that named spawn?

i dont understand :)

[rugged stratus]

they should spawn on the mark. make sure game time between 2100-0500

[sage delta]

yes i know spot

was there 10 nights already wo luck

[rugged stratus]

oh damn. idk then. it took me a couple tries to get them to spawn.

i ran in from 1040 safehouse , so was a pretty good distance to start. might reset cp like you were thinking

[sage delta]

from histry museum

so i really intrerested it that mean something in that project text i posted up there

[barren maple]

I remember I got one from an exotic cache so it’s possible although it was from one of the exotic caches that was from the countdown vendor

[misty harbor]

well fun fact i do the same thing but no luck for me

[rugged stratus]

if prayers to RNGesus didnt work, maybe try sacrifices to Lootcifer

[barren maple]

RNGesus wasn’t on your side then

[novel moon]

how can we stop btsu from blockading settlements

[barren maple]

No clue

[fringe tapir]

If you can reroll every attribute on gear/weapons then I guess all you need to do is farm until you can extract max rolls for everything? You really only need to keep one of each piece of gear or weapon and then you can just respec it to suit your needs?

Like if I have a striker piece that has 2 blues, it doesn’t really matter because I can just reroll them to reds and I don’t need to bother with having a few stocked up for burger builds

[cedar yacht]

You can only reroll one attribute per gear

[fringe tapir]

Oh damn

[cedar yacht]

For example if you reroll the third attribute on a gun you cant reroll the talent or anything else but the third attribute

[fringe tapir]

Dang okay

Nevermind then thanks😂

[fallow inlet]

Easy way to get that guy is to get rid of the enemy holding the area then let the loud speaker appear ,leav jtc walk to the speaker and he'll be on the right...note don't engage the speaker until after named bad guy dead

[teal cloak]

is there a way to skip showcase of cache content? especially the proficient cache 😅

[inner tendon]

Nope, although you can skip the end by spamming the key, but it's like 1 second saved.

[clever fjord]

You can initiate the opening of the second cache the moment the first cache contents appear

So hold open when the previous cache contents appear and it will load the other cache while the weapons are being shown

Can really speed it up

[inner tendon]

The fact that some people have put this much effort into it really makes me glad that we've taken another serial killer off the streets.

[wispy merlin]

you can also click on "Open Cache" with your mouse if you're on pc

[wraith ridge]

how often do you get keys from incursion

is it once every week (it resets on tuesday and ends on following tuesday, in my country) similar to raid?

[worldly fjord]

yeah its like the raids

[wraith ridge]

for example, if I’m doing the incursion on monday before the weekly reset, and I get a key since it’s my first time. Then if i’m doing it again from tuesday onwards, will i get another key?

[worldly fjord]

yes

[sweet kite]

20:50 cca from cp right side / i ve been told, try that. For me i had no luck but this quest restart s to step1 / quest1 always (every day?) so cba restarting always .. ….

[rocky surge]

I've completed this seasons rewards track which included all of the eight legacy manhunts. I was feeling like doing them but noticed that two of them still aren't available. Will they only unlock after the season ends or is my game bugged?

[teal cloak]

how to get named item blueprint?

[clever fjord]

Did you do coney island?

Since both of them are there

[rocky surge]

I have not, that's probably it then

[clever fjord]

Depends. Most if not all are gotten from reconstructed cache from descent

[clever fjord]

Yeah both missions are there if you notice the location name

[rocky surge]

Ah yes, thank you

[teal cloak]

bruh

[jolly anvil]

Is it still possible to get the Umbrella Corporation patch?

[terse cairn]

About Descent Comms

Can you get 1 comm per week on each character ?

[inner tendon]

@stoic ridge Invaded missions are the same for everyone.

[nimble spruce]

Yes, but comms are not shared between characters so you'd just be getting the same one each time

[narrow kraken]

does the division 2 have cross save?

[tiny jasper]

Nope

[narrow kraken]

any best way to farm shd calibration?

[gusty ermine]

Anyone having issues with the winter project? I did all the steps and stopped at the one after santa beard (box at the teddy/tree, south of white house) stopped playing until today. I am at the step of needing the santa beard, cant progress though as i have already done it and have the beard! Went to the spot anyway and cant interact with the box as i've already done it, is there a way i can make it progress?

[nimble spruce]

That was the last step, it just doesn't flag it as all completed. Think everyone has that bug.

[gusty ermine]

Ahh ok thanks i didnt know that was the last step, i just new it was on until 9th. I guess thats the catch up date?

[nimble spruce]

Yup

hi all, I've recently decided to redownload the game after a few years away, I'm just after some advice because when I first opened the game the cut scene and dialogue chat/sounds would work perfectly. but now when I load up the game none of the cut scene or dialogue will not work, so I have tired reinstalling and verify the files to see if that would, but both neither has worked, could anyone please point me in the right direction on getting this fixed please. TIA

[woven heart]

How come my paradise lost mission says completed when I haven’t done it this week

[sudden matrix]

Did you do it last night?

[woven heart]

No I haven’t done it since last reset and last reset I didn’t get a key

[heady stirrup]

I completed all my Winter Projects but the last one, where you get the beard, keeps showing up despite me already getting it. Is there a way to fix it?

[sudden matrix]

Everyone has that bug just ignore it.

[heady stirrup]

Thanks, good to know

[sudden matrix]

I know if you start match making the mission it'll update on the left if you have a key avaliable but you've gotta start MM for it to pop up.

Optimist performs better with armor cores

[digital chasm]

What mods do I need on the stinger PvP build?

[jolly shale]

Seeing as allot of items can be farmed using other mechanics when it coems to the regulus quest (Step 2) Can we also farm the Base Materials? As in can you scrap gear to get these base materials?

[rugged stratus]

youll either need to farm the raid over 2 weeks or use an alt and share the base materials with your main. fully complete 1 project and the materials will be refunded for the other project.
im pretty sure there is no way around the regulus project

[rugged stratus]

same as yesterday, hive mods damage/haste/range/+4 stinger charges
for gear itll either be haste mods or possibly crit if you plan on shooting as well

[jolly shale]

Soo if i can get enough for 1, of the 2 projects the materials will be refunded to allow me to complete the 2nd

[rugged stratus]

correct

youll be 8 short so a second run on an alt in the same week can net the rest

[jolly shale]

I have 33 at the moment, doing one more raid on 1 character will give me enough to complete 1 project - then get the resources back allowing for the 2nd completing.. And then i can just swap into another one of my characters and fininsh the quest

[rugged stratus]

yeah, ig some people make the mistake of trying both at the same time. but they will be refunded for the second

just recently unlocked reg myself

[jolly shale]

Amazing thankfully i have 2 characters high enough for a raid.. soo i should be able to complete it this weak!

[rugged stratus]

nice, yeah then its just wait for reset to collect the reg parts and craft

[jolly shale]

I presume you can get those right after completing the 2 projects. Or does it require me to finish the 2 projects.. And then run AGAIN

[rugged stratus]

youll need a fresh run after the projects are finished. i dont think there is any bypass for that.

[jolly shale]

Thats something i can do on an alt character i presume

[rugged stratus]

do you already have the replica 686 blueprint, itll be needed for the crafting

[jolly shale]

Good question...

[rugged stratus]

i dont think alt will work, unless you also have the projects completed on the alt

[jolly shale]

I do believe the projects are shared amongst are they not

Atleast i read somewhere these were.. could be wrong there

[rugged stratus]

im not 100 tbf

@sudden matrix might know the answer

[sturdy thorn]

How am I supposed to do

"Complete Black Tusk invaded missions on hard difficulty or higher"

When I don't have any difficulty options on invaded missions except normal? Do I need a higher world tier to unlock that?

[unreal sequoia]

st elmos for raids or should i spend an eternity farming incursion for ouroboros

[rugged stratus]

st elmo is still solid. also famas/carbine7/police m4 also work well

[nimble spruce]

yeah, most field research tasks kind of assume you're at either world tier 5 (original endgame) or level 40 (dlc endgame)

[sturdy thorn]

do we unlock other difficulties at higher world tiers then? currently WT2 and we can change normal mission difficulty but not invaded mission difficulty

[nimble spruce]

during the world tiers all the invaded missions will be locked to Normal at least for first completion (I doubt it'll let you rerun them either), once you clear them all and reach WT5 you'll unlock a whole bunch of endgame stuff including more difficulty options and new offsite missions

[sturdy thorn]

huh ok, thanks for the info, although it sucks that it gatekeeps weeklies behind having completed all world tiers 😦

[nimble spruce]

the world tiers are just a bit more of the story, WT5 is endgame when you're expected to start caring about weekly projects & the like

(although obviously the lvl 40 dlc endgame is where the vast majority of players are)

[sturdy thorn]

gotcha, yeah that makes sense. thank you 🙂

[sudden matrix]

Projects do get shared if you do the blue print sharing for regulus and such.

[neat stump]

it's all on sale right now, 70% off everything. If you want it, now is the time to get it... ALL Tom Clancy games are on sale for 70%+ right now

[languid bison]

is this normal lvl 270 with 33 hours?

or not

[rugged stratus]

yeah, looks it... why?

its like 8 SHD/hr ... open world you could probably do 20ish SHD/hr heroic with directives

[civic lily]

I wish I could manage 100 shd in a day

[wispy merlin]

come to pc

i show you the world of constitution hall bounties + pubexecs

[devout mountain]

I get about 4 SHD/hr doing solo control points without directives. If you’re dedicated enough you probably can do much better. And if you’re assed enough to do that then grats

[indigo bear]

Any advice for a brand brand new player? I used to play the Division 1 back when it first came out on Xbox but it’s been years since i last played and I’ve been craving some Division in my life so… any tips/tricks appreciated :)

[devout mountain]

• Don’t focus on build till 40, below that use bigger stats = better logic
• Buy expansion if you want to go long term
• Explore as much as you can or want to , some side missions are hidden until you enter the general area and it’s annoying to find later, SHD caches also provides skills, many skills = much fun

[teal cloak]

is there specific way to get tdi kard custom?

[wispy merlin]

dz or named cache

[fringe tapir]

Running into something weird, I’m trying to decon some stuff rn and I’m getting the message like my resources are maxed out but I go to look in the resources tab in my inventory and literally none of them are close to maxing out, I’m not sure what the deal is

[devout mountain]

Usually comes up for fabric and receivers

[fringe tapir]

Yeah those two are at ~100 and ~300, I’m only deconing like 7 things

[devout mountain]

Could be a bug regarding the fact that you expand your resources at the quartermaster and the game doesn’t register that? That’s a theory tho

No clue otherwise

[fringe tapir]

Strange

[teal cloak]

is 8 mil dmg dps on range is enough or nah, so that i can go for my second incursion

[scenic beacon]

does the foundry base materials get shared across characters?

[verbal topaz]

I show you the world of manning zoo level glitching

[blazing timber]

DPS range is glitched for dps calc so better to avoid it

[wispy merlin]

what a coincidence

[blazing timber]

With chameleon and 5.11

[teal cloak]

ok so 51/144 on st elmo striker is good right?

[blazing timber]

If you are using coyote than yeah

Otherwise you need to be close to 60%

[wispy merlin]

because of the dps

[vague heron]

guys how do i get the police 686 magnum [replica] ?

[worldly fjord]

lvl 3 control points are good for farming blueprints, and so are projects.
replica means crafted, and in order to craft you need the Blueprint

[wooden estuary]

dps,rpm and reload speed

[winter elk]

What % pfe do you roughly end up with in a pfe build?

[rugged stratus]

Whatever you put into it . Up to 80%

[nimble spruce]

Pfe stacking works the opposite way around to damage stacking - you get increasing returns the higher you get it instead of diminishing returns

[blazing timber]

Smurf account?

Many people do that it is fine I know a few players who have 2 accounts

[hard blaze]

not against ToS, what could get you banned is if you share/sell those accounts, if you just play on two accounts you will be fine

[wraith ridge]

guys, for a new player, once they unlock the legacy manhunts, do they directly go straight to the manhunt boss mission or will they be able to hunt the first 4 targets then unlock the final boss?

[tame basin]

Ubisoft ToS says "Multiple Accounts. You must not create multiple accounts, except if we specifically allow it. In such case, you acknowledge that you will close your additional Account upon our request, or that we may terminate your additional Account."

[rugged stratus]

good morning Saph ☕

[craggy grove]

Does any1 know how to max out the expertise thing I’m stuck at lvl 2 and say insufficient level

[sudden matrix]

Git to grinding yo.

So expertise level is increased by becoming proficient with items. You need to get kill xp, donate items, or donate crafting materials in order to become proficient with items.

[nimble spruce]

Got to gain proficiency in every category, not just the ones you want to upgrade

[craggy grove]

So I have to go to a control point and donate to decode proficient

Or do I have to just get xp because I’ve gotten a lot of xp from killing

[nimble spruce]

You donate crafting resources to the expertise table itself, not food/water/components to CPs

Or you donate items to directly increase their proficiency, or use them to get kills

[craggy grove]

How do I do that

I maxed it out I’m now on grade level 2 but I can’t get to grade level 3

[sudden matrix]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydsADciKSME

You might just wanna watch this. A quick rundown of things is explained for all the things your asking plus many things newer players should know or learn earlier on.

[nimble spruce]

Generally just poke around in the expertise menu and look at the options, you'll figure it out

[craggy grove]

I get it now thanks

Appreciate the help guys

[jolly shale]

I was working on a 2nd character, andn ow i need todo the "Keener Takedown" Mission. But it has a level 40 requirement. The problem i'm having here is that no matter what i look at doing it takes forever to level from my level (38) to 40. Any good methods?

[sudden matrix]

Look for people who help with doing WONY runs as you'll get augmentation and more xp and can do WONY runs in around 1.5 hours.

[jolly shale]

The run isn't the problem. I'm running a new player thru the game. And now that we are at this final quest.. We are stuck needing 2 more levels... So the primary question is how one gets more xp

[wicked tusk]

hey folks... long time player, but been been away a year++... I still see Memento as one of the most often recommended pieces, but I've never been able to get it. I ended up quitting last time because I was so sick of grinding out Summit for backpacks. Is chasing exotic caches while targeting backpacks & Summit still the best way to try and get a Memento?

[sudden matrix]

Well without a WONY carry to augment you you'll just have to pick something and go do it, CPs, rerun missions on hard, finish out the other side missions. Whatever xp method you'd like.

If you ever wanna run WONY and be 40 by the end you'll need a WONY carry.

[jolly shale]

I see, sounds like i'll be enjoying a bit of random hard encounters then

[nimble spruce]

Matchmake for countdown, loads more loot than summit plus you get coins you can spend on exotic caches

[sage delta]

btw div2 said i have some network problems, ive checked settings - network stats i kinda was shocked, game make 10mbs traffic

is that normal?

[jaunty pike]

It says on the stronghold mission that i should replay it on Legendary difficulty to earn daily rewards but there is no legendary difficulty is it Heroic ?

[wispy merlin]

is it the normal version of the stronghold?

you're probably looking at manhunt version

or invaded

[jaunty pike]

I think the invaded mission where you need to do 3 invaded mission to unlock it

[sage delta]

there can be few version of same stronghold, you can hold G or whatever buttion there are to change type of mission

[low ermine]

Central chat being wild again, why are these people not getting banned?

[gleaming moon]

the circle around my name, what does it indicates?

[wispy merlin]

the core attributes in your build

[gleaming moon]

what each one does?

i have no idea

[wispy merlin]

weapon damage is self-explanatory

armor is self-explanatory

skill tier makes your skills stronger

[gleaming moon]

red is weapon and blue is armor?

[wispy merlin]

yes

[gleaming moon]

and yellow?

[wispy merlin]

skill tier

[gleaming moon]

this one is not self explanatory

[wispy merlin]

yes, you would read each skill and see how much skill tiers would boost them

[gleaming moon]

the skills are like the drone and shield?

[wispy merlin]

but for damage skills generally it makes them do more damage

or be more tankier

or have more usages

shield skill tier makes it tankier, drone/turret skill tier makes it hit for more, etc.

just read description of each skill

[gleaming moon]

i see

rn i run healing drone and revive hive

[wicked tusk]

HOLY SHIT.... <font 100> I GOT IT </font> Seriously, I've quit playing twice in the past... whatever, 3-4-5 years bc I couldn't get it, and within an hour of setting down and playing, it dropped. I am floored.

[inner tendon]

Font 100, is that a thing?

[wicked tusk]

Nope.

😉

[wispy merlin]

man is using dollar store discord

[willow gale]

that aint even how HTML font tag works lol

[willow gale]

nor can you even use tags like that in a normal sentence lol

[civic lily]

I thought it was ironic

Just a little

[viscid vigil]

anyone have any idea?

[civic lily]

Boi what is this

[viscid vigil]

its a new hunter clue after rectruiter manhunt

i only know that it involves darkzone

[civic lily]

No way they put hunters in the dz

looks like a Google map

[viscid vigil]

hunter isnt in darkzone, but the puzzle pieces are

[viscid vigil]

u laugh at ppl often?
heres a picture from ingame:

[civic lily]

How did the people get a clean quality image from a mission that's locked to night time in game

[sudden matrix]

You could just use the flashlight ya know.

[civic lily]

bright ass image still

[viscid vigil]

the picture i showed in first, is from real map

[viscid vigil]

so, any ideas?

[civic lily]

If there's no consistency between those locations marked by a shape then no

it's a decoration piece

just like kajikas maps

[inland patio]

how can i unlock the season pass ?

[inner tendon]

It's automatically unlocked once you reach Lvl 40, to do that you need to have completed the DLC campaign.

[inland patio]

can i get to lvl 40 without the dlc ?

[bronze torrent]

Nope

[viscid vigil]

how about that?

[civic lily]

no I don't even know what I'm looking at

[viscid vigil]

its another map in that same room

but this one reassembles the game map itself

[inland patio]

its the nyc dlc right ?

[bronze torrent]

Yes

[inner tendon]

Looks like someone doing a selfie face.

[devout mountain]

For Regulus I need to do the IH raid 3 times across 3 weeks? Just for each step?

[nimble spruce]

2 weeks (but still 3 runs) minimum if you use an alt to farm more ironworks mats

[civic lily]

Are loot goblins linked to the hunters?

and in turn ambusher faction = hunters?

[old orbit]

Should I get to SHD level 1000 before I start going into the DZ or does it not matter?

[cedar yacht]

Well nothing prevents you from going to the dz but if you plan on going in for the pvp get ready to face 10k shd lv 20 expertise players (=

[gloomy crag]

Can you still do the busy bee thing with regulus to one tap?

[verbal topaz]

Yes

[gloomy crag]

How do I do it i lose the busy bee stack when swapping to regulus

[verbal topaz]

Well either u did it too slow or u did sth wrong

[gloomy crag]

i hold chem launcher get dodge city and busy bee stacks stay i swap to regulus and then busy bee stacks are gone

[verbal topaz]

Make sure you're holding the pistol and not the chem launcher when you open inventory

[gloomy crag]

ah thats the issue thanks

not been doing that so i guess its that

yep it worked 264mil

[verbal topaz]

Cuz opening inv with chem equipped automatically swaps to a primary weapon

[scenic beacon]

is there any way to reallocate SHD points when the watch isnt complete yet? i have points i wanna respec but it doesnt give me the option to remove any points and its frustrating

[kind cove]

By making a new character, thats the only way you can

[scenic beacon]

dunno why they give you an option to remove it then not let you use it

[regal summit]

I think the idea is that sooner or later you have everything maxed anyway. But I agree, being able to respec would be nice, especially because you learn so much on your journey from 1-1000 shd.

[inner tendon]

The good thing about the SHD watch is that you can absolutely compete in Heroic (which is where the bulk of the endgame is) without basically any points at all.

What the Watch does is help streamline your stats.

[mossy wing]

I’m a day one player who’s been on and off since several seasons ago. I’m going all in on the game again and looking for a good way to get caught up on the story. Are there any good “story so far” videos?

[rugged stratus]

Look up NGN on youtube

[honest crystal]

Hi - just picked the game up. After I complete WoNY - is there content I should focus on and other content I should ignore? Hoping to not waste time playing content that doesn’t drop useful stuff as playtime is limited (:

[sage delta]

you can do whatever you want, loot is random until targeted

[bronze grove]

Have you not got expertise?

[nimble spruce]

Don't matchmake for the raids, it'll only let you run them on Discovery difficulty which is entirely useless.

[bronze grove]

Unless it's for fun summit isn't worth the time loot wise

[hard blaze]

is this one done only in invaded mode only? or can I turn it to mission mode and she will still spawn? not bothered to clear all the other invaded missions atm

[rugged stratus]

Tidal always invaded. You'll have to clear the other stuff to get access.

[hard blaze]

yeah you can toggle mission mode tho 😄 but I see that theres a different boss then, so I will have to do it in the invasion mode unfortunately

[rugged stratus]

Yep

[hard blaze]

also when it comes to nemesis parts, will they mission boss just drop it now? or do I have to do some secrets like in Tidal for the first par?

[nimble spruce]

They will just drop with the boss loot from specific named enemies in the invaded strongholds

[blazing timber]

You have to get a named item from tidal using the key in 3rd map of tidal

[hard blaze]

yeah I got that one 🙂 was thinking about the other parts

[blazing timber]

I never farmed for nemisis someday some random player on matchmake dropped it

I didn't like it initially

[hard blaze]

same, I got the nemesis already from a drop, but want to finish the project on the side as well

[civic lily]

Me with chatterbox

[blazing timber]

You know that it is not necessary right?

[hard blaze]

yep

[blazing timber]

Sadly you can't do that with regulus

[civic lily]

can?

[hard blaze]

you can do that with chatterbox as well?

[blazing timber]

Yeah all exo except regulus

[regal summit]

Regulus can drop from IH bosses and then you can share it though

[blazing timber]

Really NGL never heard of regulus dropping from bosses

Ravenous IK

[regal summit]

I've pulled one from Morozova once

It's super rare for sure, but it's possible

Not sure if you need to have the projects completed for it

[blazing timber]

Damm must be insane luck it is even rare than ouroboros imo what do you say @sudden matrix @plucky hawk how many regulus boss drops have you seen

[civic lily]

must be a good day to have someone with that insane luck drop the boss regulus for you without you completing project

Hey Gogamer, Local

[civic lily]

Lost a member

[devout mountain]

Alright I've captured all control points about 3 days ago and none of them have been recaptured. I thought you were eventually supposed to lose them over time? I've been online for most of the time and nothing has happened, even when joining groups and levelling my second character through WONY

[cloud stream]

WHERES MY ST ELMOS

[civic lily]

[nimble spruce]

Think they only get recaptured when you're hanging on the same map (my NY cps stay friendly because I'm almost always in DC).
You can always manually reset them all to hostile through the world difficulty options in the map menu.

[devout mountain]

I've been everywhere, same map, different character, offline, different instances etc.
I'd rather keep every control point I know I can reset them. It's not hard to farm SHD on second character. I think there might be some use to keeping them around for fast travel

[nimble spruce]

I've heard rumours they stay friendly longer if you keep resupplying them with resources, other than that I don't know why they'd stay friendly for so long

You can farm xp through supply drop activities pretty quickly if you use a decoy and don't bother actually killing any enemies, just grab the loot and scarper

[devout mountain]

true

[fair bough]

YEA ONCE

[teal cloak]

what's the most efficient way to farm steel

[civic lily]

Wony

Cps that have factions that drop steel are also good

[teal cloak]

how does wony be effective to farm steel?

[civic lily]

shd watch points from high shd level after completion

On another character

then shared materials

[rugged stratus]

Good afternoon Saph

[teal cloak]

oh so resources are also shared? what is that isn't shared in other characters?

[rugged stratus]

Food water components cash

[sudden matrix]

Keys too

[digital chasm]

Anybody know the easiest way to get the Liberty?

[rugged stratus]

Solar farm control point and immediate area is full of all types of mats btw (west of capitol building)

[sudden matrix]

Crafting project is super easy and quick.

[digital chasm]

Where at? Where do I get the mats?

[sudden matrix]

I could google it for you but I'm working. Just look up liberty crafting project. It's just killing some bosses in true sons missions but you've gotta have the liberty on another character if you've got one.

[mossy wing]

Between countdown and summit, which is more efficient for farming Elmo/etc?

I’ve heard it’s a toss up

[rugged stratus]

countdown. possible drops from target loot + ability to buy an exo cache every 2 runs (30 mins)

[regal summit]

They are shared between all characters that purchased the "share crafting materials blueprint" from inaya.

So it needs to be purchased on your main and your mule character

[mossy wing]

Did it for the first time, am I hoping for exotics from the chests that we mostly missed or were locked?

[sage delta]

ok i dont understand what it wants?

i just did this camp oak with recruiter, ofcs not a leg difficulty, cos only heroic available

[rugged stratus]

Exo can be a random drop from npc or the cases. There is also a vendor @ whitehouse outside across from the chopper. There are a few cache types like named exotic and some named items for sale as well

[mossy wing]

cool

Any idea why they could be locked?

[rugged stratus]

The locked cases are only unlock for main objective after its complete. There are also some black cases that unlock sometimes in the other objectives.
You'll mainly get a lot of named items towards the end. Just make sure to select the target loot you are looking for , for best results

[mossy wing]

targt loot was the only thing I knew to do lol

everyone was running around like chickens with no heads

[rugged stratus]

Yeah itll be like that till you get used to the flow.

It's usually take out hunters first, then 2 objectives that are close... usually vip gets skipped

[mossy wing]

I watched a video that references vip, but I didn't know what they meant.

[civic lily]

oh man

[rugged stratus]

Its protect vip in one of the loctions

[civic lily]

switch the oak to invaded

[nimble spruce]

invaded DUA requires invaded white oak to unlock it. Non-invaded obviously for legendary which is the weekly challenge. It's just doing badly at distinguishing between mission modes.

[sage delta]

i did 2 oaks in a row invade then recruiter

[sage delta]

@nimble spruce but as i see here it specialy req manhunt version isnt? https://i.imgur.com/BRoGVQ5.png

[civic lily]

no

that also happens on 9ther invaded missions that also have manhunt

[nimble spruce]

no, it must just be assuming that invaded version is currently selected and showing you that instead

[sage delta]

i sure did black tusk version first

not unlocked, then switched to manhunt version

i can try black tusk again

[nimble spruce]

basic and invaded versions of white oak are both black tusk

[sage delta]

well i know how they differ :)

[nimble spruce]

just check the mission name, it tells you when it's invaded

invaded has those twins as the final bosses, and schaeffer being angry

[sage delta]

it easy to to differ them just by start, 2 auto turrets on manhunt, as i said i know difference

[lost barn]

Any changes to complete manhunt, talk With birdie? Patch??

[balmy garden]

i am experiencing the same thing too

cant choose invaded or have the option to

[nimble spruce]

neither the regular nor the Lau versions of the mission have auto turrets at the start either...
If you find yourself chasing the president, it's the wrong version

[balmy garden]

yeah, i only have the chasing the president and the recruiter versions too

oh

i see it now. today i learn

[honest peak]

hi all, I've recently decided to redownload the game after a few years away, I'm just after some advice because when I first opened the game the cut scene and dialogue chat/sounds would work perfectly. but now when I load up the game none of the cut scene or dialogue will not work, so I have tired reinstalling and verify the files to see if that would, but both neither has worked, could anyone please point me in the right direction on getting this fixed please. TIA

[iron halo]

does this mean ill or cc? bcz i cleared on ahrd and it didnt update,and miss req is normal/higher

so what do i do

[devout mountain]

Means kill
Are you sure you did the right mission?

[iron halo]

yea

[devout mountain]

And you specifically killed Lt Kelly 100%

[wraith flare]

you have to break his helmet before killing him

[devout mountain]

That’s Wade

On Viewpoint

[wraith flare]

oh I misread 2 as 3

odd

I'd try it on other difficulties

[devout mountain]

Maybe you accidentally played on story

There is a very good chance when you clicked replay you clicked story cause that’s the default option

[iron halo]

nah i picked hard difficulty

even got exotic

[devout mountain]

Try another difficulty then

[iron halo]

i am normal now

[devout mountain]

If you want I think I can run it with you

[iron halo]

let me finish this run and see

k completed,had to do it on normal

[sturdy thorn]

how come, since I hit level 30 and started doing world tiers, I've received ONLY Chameleons as exotics?

me and my friend have had probably 10 exotic drops so far; all chameleons

[rugged sable]

They are a very common exotic drop. Plus if your in an area where assault rifles are the targeted loot you almost seal your fate on the exotic

[sturdy thorn]

ok thanks. is targeted loot a system we'll unlock at level 40 or something>?

[rugged sable]

I believe it is a thing at level 30. If you go to your map and press R it should bring up targeted loot

Then you can see what is the targeted loot in the different areas of the map

[sturdy thorn]

hmm nope, it isn't there. Just googled it and apparently "Players will gain access to targeted loot once they reach level 40."

https://gamerjournalist.com/the-division-2-what-is-targeted-loot-and-how-to-find-it/

the more you know!

[rugged sable]

Sorry I haven't been under level 40 in a long time xD

[maiden acorn]

Any idea where to find "kingbreaker"? New player, only orange drops in ar target loot seems to be st elmos engine and chameleon

[true siren]

St Elmo's Engine and Chameleon are red drops, Exotics. Kingbreaker is a named item, not an exotic.

[maiden acorn]

Does it drop in AR target loot zones? The regular high end stuff seems to be mainly "Burnout" and "Born Great", have like 5 of each

[true siren]

It can, yes.

[maiden acorn]

thanks, just checking im in the right place

[wraith ridge]

where to get bighorn

[blazing timber]

Legendary difficulty missions and summit

[wraith ridge]

which is the best stronghold to get bighorn

I've been trying DUA legendary and cant seem to get it from there

[blazing timber]

Legendary summit you can grind it over and over again very easy to reach boss

[wraith ridge]

any preferred boss level or floor 10 is fine?

[blazing timber]

Floor 10 is fine just kill boss die rinse and repeat

[inner tendon]

To be clear, it only drops from the Named Enemies on Legendary specifically, so you'll only get as many chances per attempt at there are bosses there.

[blazing timber]

That is the trick kill the boss leave NPCs so you don't progress go to map again rinse and repeat

[hard blaze]

can you do the time challenge missions in groups?

I literally for the life of me cant kill Sparkle JUST TRYING THE RUN OUT, so no way I could to it in a timed run

[rugged stratus]

the league stuff is only on normal map modes... not invaded or manhunt

[sudden matrix]

That's manhunt... Wont count toward time stuff lol

[rugged stratus]

can be grouped though

[hard blaze]

yeahh well I had to do that one first to be able to do the timed run, never done that mission before, so Sparkle doesnt spawn in the normal hard mode mission?

[rugged stratus]

mission options > hold g

[sudden matrix]

You just need to toggle mission type. Manhunt mission isn't required at all tho.

At some point it must have gotten toggled tho.

[hard blaze]

Well I did that, but the Manhunt mission appeared 🤔 when switching back again it went to story mode, I never did it in story mode, maybe thats why tho

[rugged stratus]

sometimes the manhunts are defaulted

[hard blaze]

makes sense now that im writing this lol, gotta do story mode first then

[rugged stratus]

it was like that with the manning manhunt

[hard blaze]

I've never done this mission before so I probably just gotta do it once, so that I can replay it on hard

[rugged stratus]

yup

[sudden matrix]

Yeah if you've got the time I'd go around the map and do every story mission and side mission just so you don't encounter this stuff again. Also side missions not being done messes with manhunt bounties a lot of the time.

[hard blaze]

yeah Im pretty sure that is the only mission that I havent done

[rugged stratus]

you get that sweet shepherd heart patch yet Souless?

[sudden matrix]

Yep. Turned off backup calls right after lol

[rugged stratus]

lmao

nice

just broke 32 yesterday with 6 weeks left

[sudden matrix]

I've got a list of things I need to do farming wise. I need to WONY again, I need to farm stuff for a couple extra builds for speed running the incursion(duo speeds), and I made the 321 build to great disappointment and that ate up a ton of resources.

[rugged stratus]

let me know, if im on ill help with wony

[sudden matrix]

Got a huge list of people who owe me for wony runs already lol

[blazing timber]

When are you carrying me through IH for 2nd regulus

[sudden matrix]

There are tons of pub games that happen during the times you are up.

[cloud stream]

hows iron lung?

[sudden matrix]

One of the top LMGs based just on DPS.

[cloud stream]

can see lol

like the little brother of st elmos

[cloud stream]

when im in a specfic area of the map , my HUD got glitched , why?

i dont think its the bounty boss

[sudden matrix]

Dem creepers be watching you

[cloud stream]

aw man

[sudden matrix]

There is a hunter on a near by roof just watching you.

[blazing timber]

Hunters near you

[cloud stream]

bruh i killed them all yesterday

btw before the glitch ran off, i heard something broken

its like ur turret got destroyed, that sound

[sudden matrix]

They disappear in a cloud of smoke when you look at them or day approaches I think.

[cloud stream]

its 3am

[sudden matrix]

idk maybe you looked at him without realizing.

[cloud stream]

weird thing is i have pulse scannerr

[blazing timber]

They are immune to pulse

[sudden matrix]

They aren't "normal" characters tho.

[blazing timber]

You mean the ones with KWTD

[sudden matrix]

Gamble bro. You might have a really fun raid.

[blazing timber]

Why don't we do clan IH Tomorrow

[sudden matrix]

Because we don't have enough KWTD currently. Goal is to change that in the next week or two and start IH clan runs.

[viscid dagger]

Stalker Hunters that spy on you

[blazing timber]

Make sure to do it on Saturday/Sunday

[cloud stream]

i need a spinning fire turret

[sudden matrix]

How are you only 91 SHD... A spinny boi isn't gonna help that.

[devout mountain]

I've unironically never had this happen to me in open world
And I've already hunted down one of these guys

very specific place at a very specific time I guess

[viscid dagger]

by now i know most of their lookout spots

[devout mountain]

Probably cause I just fast travel everywhere and haven't explored enough

[inner tendon]

They're known by the community (at least this one) as "Stalkers" and they're basically just non-violent hunters that run away and drop no loot if you do kill them.

[cloud stream]

AKA me near a high school

[viscid dagger]

risque joke

[civic lily]

They running yaahl before yaahl existed

Hunters need to run it more

[hard blaze]

what would be the easiest and most efficient way to farm Black Tusk Elite Kills for the League Activity?

[devout mountain]

countdown gives a good amount at the very end

and if its black tusk countdown you get even more

[sudden matrix]

I'd just run the invaded missions or tidal.

You can always toggle mission mode to re invade a mission too.

[inner tendon]

If you re-run the Manhunt on a higher diff, I managed to get to rank 7/10 without even realising it.

[sudden matrix]

Oh you could do the end part for recruiter and just keep killing the ads right?

[devout mountain]

ads run out eventually

apparently

[inner tendon]

BTW the "Hunters" in Countdown also count as BT elite. That's how I hit rank 8/10

[devout mountain]

but then you just reset huh

[sudden matrix]

Just unalive and go again yeah?

[devout mountain]

I just figured that one out 🫠

[sudden matrix]

I saw it when I hit enter lol

[civic lily]

The recruiter

[sudden matrix]

I just speed three missions both weeks tho. I get some people might not have time to do it the next week but it's max lazy at that point.

[inner tendon]

Farming and dying to reset the farm at White Oak.
I smell ban wave 2.0 coming on.

[sudden matrix]

lol they have random spawn points so no one is gonna farm those with oxy builds.

[inner tendon]

Partially a joke, but there is a specific spot where a bunch of them come out at once, so it's not totally impossible.

[civic lily]

The specific spot is 4 giant boxes far away from each other

farm opportunities impossible especially with Johnson and his op sniper

[nimble spruce]

There are a limited number of waves too, you aren't going to be able to get that much out of each run

[civic lily]

What's the limit

[nimble spruce]

Never bothered to count them, but it's entirely possible to clear them all with about 5m left on the clock, which lets you 1v1 the hunter.

Maybe about 10 waves or fewer?

[civic lily]

Whatever limit it is its huge

[nimble spruce]

Nah, I've beaten the mission twice doing it that way

[civic lily]

The only time enemies stopped spawning for me is when I didn't kill an entire wave

[nimble spruce]

Leaving one alive is the more popular approach, yeah

[sudden matrix]

10x4=40 idk that seems like a pretty good amount if you are doing the league challenge.

[nimble spruce]

For the challenge I guess yeah, not so much for xp or expertise farming

Iirc they're only all elites on heroic

[inner tendon]

I reiterate this.

[fallow inlet]

Hey Gogamer, Kettle

[nimble spruce]

I disagree with your original point, saving a couple of seconds on cache opening might seem pretty minor but when it's repeated hundreds or even thousands of times, it really adds up

Hey Saph

[civic lily]

who's @gogamer

[civic lily]

or be the guy who has 20/20 caches for 300 shd levels

[fallow inlet]

@jolly anvil sorry noi that was a apperal event

[civic lily]

Maybe that's rivens

[viscid dagger]

never got the whole thing where people let caches accumulate tbh

i just open them

[civic lily]

lazy

or no point in opening them everytime you level up

[inner tendon]

It's easy enough to let them build up if you farm xp until your Inventory is capped out, but unless you have literally just your set on, there's no way you can hit 20 caches before you're at 150/150.

Just open them when you head over to dump in Expertise/decon/sell.

[civic lily]

playing conflict made me quit my cache hoarding habits

[rugged stratus]

you can if you pickup loot with z

[inner tendon]

That's exactly how I farm, yep.

[viscid dagger]

every loot i pickup is always loot all as junk

[rugged stratus]

z decons on floor on pc

[viscid dagger]

yea i wasnt questioning the key

[inner tendon]

I honestly thought you typed that by accident.

Who auto decon's everything?

[rugged stratus]

max expertise, no loot needed

i got my sets XD

[viscid dagger]

yea no
id rather loot all as junk and then when im full/getting off the game i go through and see if theres anything good

[rugged stratus]

i do pickupo named stuff to drop when shepherding tho

[inner tendon]

At max too, but you still can't tell if there's something fun in that big pile of stuff you just sent to the scrappers.
Variety is the spice of life. Do you just never play weird builds?

[cloud stream]

hey guys i encountered a backup hacker

what should i do lol

[rugged sable]

I sat trying to shepherd for like 2 hours yesterday it didn't go well

[sudden matrix]

Yeah I look at loot and if it's rank 10 or garbage it's a z

[viscid dagger]

me with 5.11 no matter the rolls or talents

[inner tendon]

@cloud stream Send an official support ticket in to Ubisoft via the link 📌 pinned over in #unofficial-troubleshooting
only way to report.

have video evidence if possible.

[cloud stream]

so the hacker accepted backup and go in, he just tp'd to each checkpoint and instantly killed all enemies lol

it is teleport, not even speed hack

[civic lily]

Fast travel:

[inner tendon]

No one on this Server can do anything about it, we're all just players here.

[cloud stream]

[rugged stratus]

i build whatever, if i need to farm something i just cd and recal/optimize.
filled out pretty much a full alt in like a week or so not to long ago

[inner tendon]

That sounds like a very boring way to play, but I'm glad you found something that works for you.

[rugged stratus]

i do a lot of matchmaking and shepherd stuff. ive got a wide variety of builds if needed so its all good

[civic lily]

When you've made every build no need to keep trash in ur inventory

Usually the loot is a waste of time anyways

[viscid dagger]

only things that stay in the inventory are if they belong to a loadout

i put trash in my stash tbh

[wispy merlin]

lengmo piece with armor, skill duration and weapon handling

[inner tendon]

No offence meant here to anyone, but if I ever start thinking as methodical as that about a game, I'm uninstalling it.

[civic lily]

me with 20 different striker pieces

[viscid dagger]

i have 2
one is hsd and one is regular crit stuff

[wispy merlin]

i have at least 3 for each slot

[civic lily]

I have chc and chd pieces each with blue and red core variant

[wispy merlin]

basically yeah

[viscid dagger]

id never put blue on strikers tbh

[wispy merlin]

there was someone who suggested skill tier striker for legendary kekw

[viscid dagger]

only use strikers on specific missions

[wispy merlin]

blue striker is fun

[civic lily]

blues are good

[viscid dagger]

only blues i use are on my hb tech tank

[wispy merlin]

blue is just for shield synergy for bruiser playstyle

[civic lily]

Yellow striker does more dps then red striker

after all

[wispy merlin]

yeah i mean HB doesn't work everywhere so that's why we moved to striker

[viscid dagger]

actually my hf memento has one blue from memento

[viscid dagger]

hb is my solo open world or even summit build

[civic lily]

I see no point in HB for pve since memento exists

personally

[wispy merlin]

i had to remove my blue striker loadout to make space for legendary speed builds but it would be with setup and uzina unbreakable chest

[sudden matrix]

Why not both?

[viscid dagger]

i just dont care for strikers in open world tbh

[wispy merlin]

but there are so many variants

i mean i don't use striker in open world

[civic lily]

memento is more then enough bonus armor

[viscid dagger]

never did

hf memento oreo is my open world baby tbh

[civic lily]

heartbreaker = straight damage nerf

[wispy merlin]

HHF with DCH for open world

my point is just that HB doesn't work against minitanks so i hate it

[rugged stratus]

nego or nothing when it comes to dps 😍

[sudden matrix]

You kill mini tanks?

[viscid dagger]

only place i use nego on is legendary really

[sudden matrix]

I just leave em and they die when everyone dies.

[wispy merlin]

they are great stack builders for striker so i do that, and some of my teammates die to it

[civic lily]

The last heartbreaker build I might make is catharsis with hb bag but probably not worth it

[sudden matrix]

As a big meta supporter if you solo it don't matter man.

[viscid dagger]

started using nego in legendary again and its very fun

[civic lily]

It's not like hb has a different playstyle

I like non meta if it has a different playstyle that I like

[viscid dagger]

well built right kinda does
some love bonus armor

and makes them more confident

[wispy merlin]

might see a resurgence due to intimidate buff

not saying most people will even see intimidate is better than HB chest (it is), just that it's the new thing

[viscid dagger]

can they buff the sig please so mechanical animal becomes sorta off meta in season 3

with the future perfection buff mmmm

[wispy merlin]

i can get behind that, make the 556 hit a bit harder

[viscid dagger]

hybrid strikers could be a thing tbh if the sig got buffed

[sudden matrix]

To me HB and striker do have different play styles. One is super aggressive and you can be in their face where striker would end up on the floor trying to do the same thing.

[viscid dagger]

well more of a thing

[wispy merlin]

it has been...

[sudden matrix]

The mechanics behind the two builds are the same but playstyle is way different.

[wispy merlin]

it's my other door camper build along with HHF for legendary

[viscid dagger]

that is how i play hb

[civic lily]

Memento fixes that thankfully and still has more damage

[wispy merlin]

i tried both and frankly blue striker literally plays the same as HB

[civic lily]

yea

[wispy merlin]

it's even better that you can run scorpio on striker

[sudden matrix]

Breh I ain't farming that.

[wispy merlin]

it's not even that long

but understandable

[civic lily]

It's a red gearset and 3/6 pieces are craftavke its ez

[sudden matrix]

people don't understand how little I will spend farming. I finally looked over my builds last weekend and found a skill damage minor part on my FI healer build.

[viscid dagger]

i mean i dont like blue striker but seems pretty easy to farm in countdown

oh nvm thats why

[wispy merlin]

i'm not even done with my recal library

[sudden matrix]

LOL same

[civic lily]

is anybody?

[wispy merlin]

but get real, who needs stability on their smg

[civic lily]

Who cares about 25% optimal range?

[barren needle]

any one want to help me killing the 4 hunter at the same time for year 1 hunter ?

[sudden matrix]

I did spend time getting the 321 build and man was that disappointing.

[wispy merlin]

it's funny unicorn build to flex

[sudden matrix]

I hope my effort pays off next season and the build is actually better in some way.

[civic lily]

I still haven't used my unicorn hasburg pieces

In a build

[sudden matrix]

It just doesn't hit any new breakpoints so it's dumb.

[sudden matrix]

CC foam or sniper?

[civic lily]

I have red hasburg knees and helmet

Didn't even farm for them

[wispy merlin]

okay, i need to get the health/armor values of medics in legendary too

[viscid dagger]

new gear piece the helmet

[wispy merlin]

thanks for reminding me that i need to get on that some day

[sudden matrix]

Yeah that and morazova HH is the only places the 321 build might change things.

[wispy merlin]

i can see 30m+ on medics

in 4 man

[civic lily]

Why do medics got more hp😭

[sudden matrix]

Determined chunga cracks would mean anyone can HH morazova.

[wispy merlin]

thankfully roosevelt exists so i can knock out the veteran and elite medics

[civic lily]

Red medic spawns in first part too

[sudden matrix]

Reds don't matter tho.

[wispy merlin]

yeah but might be hard because it's not first wave

but yeah reds don't matter. i can work out the health part from the health+armor of the veterans and elites

[civic lily]

Only named medic breakpoint is left

[sudden matrix]

You need to come in with HH stacks and pop one with a nem and let your team finish it.

[wispy merlin]

yeah sounds like a good idea. my damage would only capture the red medic health

but in a duo it might be bad

[sudden matrix]

Yeah actually if you knew the red medic health you could probably use the HP scaling and that would tell you.

[wispy merlin]

yeah i was being lazy and thinking of computing health from just the veteran and elite

[civic lily]

Do we even know legendary hp scaling

[viscid dagger]

Riveting lovebirds pubs gameplay

[wispy merlin]

for normal grunts yes

[civic lily]

How was wright

[sudden matrix]

How long did this take?

[viscid dagger]

Funny you mention that
The shd level 800 switched to a FB TANK and I almost got on voice chat and screamed at him

[civic lily]

bruh

Hes gonna tank wright dw

[viscid dagger]

He wasn't tank in Wright that's the funny part

The place that need the most damage
(switches to a tank)

Today incursions were rough
Guess it makes sense it's the weekend

[sudden matrix]

How long does gate strat typically take?

[viscid dagger]

its rng depending if martinez has to refill his flamethrower and then does the thing where he just aims and fires it at the sky

if that happens less
run with it usually go for like 20 ish minutes

if everything goes well

i unfortunately cant just ditch the groups that do it as every single bloody player on xbox apparently is afraid of the better strat

funny thing is the first 2 weeks EVERYONE did the strat where you go middle and do damage but i know for a fact a bloody yter made a video saying the gate strat is superior and it spread

[sudden matrix]

yikes

[viscid dagger]

but it is what it is maybe if the game had crossplay there would be more varied strats used in pubs

[civic lily]

Gate strat is easier tho with randoms but people should atleast try the face tank strat if they aren't going flawless

[viscid dagger]

nobody doing randoms incursion going for flawless lets be real

[civic lily]

[viscid dagger]

theres always one player that ruins it even if the fates align

[civic lily]

and everyone and their dog is running revive anyways

[blazing timber]

I don't see bt dogs running reciver when did they added that

[viscid dagger]

the day i get a flawless incursion with randoms is the day nomad returns

[civic lily]

Grenade dogs shoot reviver hive in legendary

[sudden matrix]

I kinda hate when people say lets do flawless and then all have revive on. What's the point lol

[civic lily]

Running revive on the turrets is pointless imo

[viscid dagger]

alot think its dying dying not just going down

[blazing timber]

I haven't forgotten about my flawless run

[civic lily]

Emp sticky + decoy has had a 100% success rate for me so far

[viscid dagger]

i had one such case where he wrote in chat omg if we go flawless we get a mask
dude you went down already

[civic lily]

He forgor as a reviver user

[viscid dagger]

if you run a revive hive on turrets what are you doing tbh

rethink ur actions and be better

if ur low shd i guess its okay

but like if i see a 10kshd dude running a revive hive in turrets ......

[civic lily]

nah because if one group fails the turrets its kinda gg anyways

and emp sticky guarantees the turret won't go off the decoy for some reason

Run reviver everywhere else if u want just not the turrets pls🙏

[blazing timber]

Unless they are doing a HC Run

[viscid dagger]

you have balls of steel doing incursion with randoms on HC

[blazing timber]

No one does incursion on hc with randoms

[civic lily]

I do level 30 hc incursion in matchmaking all the time idk what u mean

[viscid dagger]

also tried running healer in the incursion again

god its stressful

[viscid vigil]

well played ubisoft... well played

[nimble spruce]

oh dear

[sudden matrix]

It all makes sense now.

[iron halo]

oh deer indeed

like i said only 5 days

[sudden matrix]

tbf it's just the start so don't fret too much.

[nimble spruce]

read the guide soulless linked #td2-general-chat message

[iron halo]

oh lol

yea im reading the guide

[viscid dagger]

Yea ur shd 32 it's expected ur build to be somewhat all over the place don't worry about it

[iron halo]

yea ik,but still,how can i progresss,if im not clearing challanging+ things

[sudden matrix]

#td2-general-chat message

Did you look at that yet?

[iron halo]

yea i did

but for weapons i need exotics like st elmos

like how do ig et those xD

[sudden matrix]

Also tons of other guides in the #td2-build-advice channels pinned messages spreadsheet on the Hub(builds) tab, links on the right side.

[iron halo]

that sniper turret is bad?

[sudden matrix]

It's not as good as you think. The gameplay provided by whoever that guy was doesn't tell much of any story.

I could do that section with fire EP in 15 seconds.

[iron halo]

whats good solo player build?

[viscid dagger]

Keep striker backpack
Ceska chest with obliterate
That Famas will do for now
Matchmake for countdown challenging(it's 8 players) just follow where everyone goes and shoot at things
And select ur target loot by hovering over the countdown logo on the map (should show the key for it at the bottom)

Try and target ARs for now
Then target ceska brand set

[iron halo]

at what difficulty?

do i q for,i never did countdown

[viscid dagger]

Challenging

Don't go into heroic for now

[iron halo]

i could use born greaT?

[viscid dagger]

If you want to you can for now
But yea id still try and get a better AR

[iron halo]

ok thx ill try

[sudden matrix]

Also just an FYI most of the vids you see on youtube are misleading. That first hit of damage that guy did in the shooting range is because it's buggy(the shooting range dps is buggy and shouldn't be used). You'd never see that turret hit that and in fact his gameplay shows 7-9 mil hits. The big indicator the build isn't as good as you'd think is they don't show them full clearing any part at all, vids that show a tiny part of gameplay that's favorable typically aren't good builds and you'll probably struggle using it unless it's favorable circumstances.

[frozen pumice]

Are they gonna make gear rolling a little more manageable for gear pieces that roll locked BLUE (example) but you want it red? Because I need a piece to be all reds WITH an exact talent and rolling 10000k pieces in crafting seems like a nightmare...

[sudden matrix]

I mean lets be fair here... You don't need that item.

[frozen pumice]

I don't but like come on it's ridiculous. in the long run shortening the time to get it would be a huge QoL

[sudden matrix]

Is it the habs vigi HSD backpack?

[frozen pumice]

Habs vigi all red+habs chest all red+HH I think

[sudden matrix]

Why go for the chest tho? The backpack fits in more builds?

[frozen pumice]

4 gearset pieces and just backpack+chest (habs) for aces/hotshot

[sudden matrix]

What's your backpack then?

[frozen pumice]

(it's literally a petty 5% in something totally irrelevant, but it shouldn't be thousands of hours sunk into on a timeline for those 2 pieces)

[frozen pumice]

would be habs with vigil

[sudden matrix]

So you are going for the two hardest unicorn parts in the game... Breh

And for no noticeable gain in your sniper build too.

[frozen pumice]

Yes, but it should be more obtainable to do so anyways. Is my point

Even if for no reason

[iron halo]

i understand,its just i need some guidance right,i had a guy walking me trough heroic content and giving me those items u saw,and i disliked striker build bcz of shotgun and i never get close to 200% stacks,so i didnt know what to do and needed some video to be as"plan"

[sudden matrix]

I gotcha, I just want you to be informed about youtuber builds. One day you'll get to a point where you watch them to laugh, then you'll stop giving them clicks in hopes more people don't get trapped in the lies.

[iron halo]

so left one use right?

[iron halo]

yea,maybe 😄

[sudden matrix]

no idea on the talent. Correct rolls and weapon is better than max rolls.

[iron halo]

u know whats funny,even with those Ar's now in countdown i didnt even sue ar,i used this all the time

i just like the high rate of fire

feels satisfying

[sudden matrix]

Need to work on that recal library. The white triangle you see under the orange bars shows your library stat.

[iron halo]

yea im starting
