Hope Everyone's Having A Great Day Gaming 😀 😊 😄

[floral pulsar]

Hey, everyone. Hope you're all well! I need some help with some FPS issues I'm having. Originally I would be playing at 144 FPS, but after share screening here and returning to the game, now I'm getting as low as 10 FPS. I tried restarting the game, cleaning out my PC and even uninstalling and reinstalling it. Nothing seems to work. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I want to finish the season level up before it ends on Monday.

[static trout]

You sharing your screen via discord? Not much to do about it really, discord EATS fps when recording your monitor.

[polar shore]

chat is this good?

[polar shore]

ur settings? maybe fps locked?

[cedar yacht]

They’re good at staying in the stash or becoming components

[floral pulsar]

Yup, I was sharing my screen via discord. Thing is, though, I’d share screen plenty of times in the past and I’d have no problems. It was just yesterday that I’d begin to experience frame drops.

[floral pulsar]

I have FPS set to unlimited.

[polar shore]

THANKS.

[raven socket]

How do people add these?
I dont see these Icons ingame. (The Star Icon and such)
Does anybody knows where the option to activate for that is?

[sick basin]

On console it’s right trigger, try right clicking?

[rugged stratus]

star is favorite item. highlight > hit r > mark as favorite

[raven socket]

yeah.
But that wasnt what i asked...
I know how to lock my Items. I wanted to know how to see these Icons ingame.

[rugged stratus]

crossed tools are recalibrated item, circle means something on it was optimized

just the way you screenshotted

the only place they are seen

[raven socket]

Well. If I favorite any of my items it does not show these right in the Inventory.
I have to get into the Item kinda to show these Icons up.

I screen shotted someone else Inventory.

[rugged stratus]

. just how it is. and for the record, you did ask "how do people add these"

[raven socket]

I also asked for an option to "activate" these. 😉

[rugged stratus]

this is pointless, you know how added now. nothing else to do for it

[raven socket]

Well. My inventory still does not show these Icons if i open my inventory.

[rugged stratus]

issue a ticket to ubi ig

[sick basin]

And he told you how to

[raven socket]

He did indeed.

[rugged stratus]

just looks like inconsistent coding. they show at the item category level or in loadout section

there is no on/off , they only show if an item has been changed/favorite/set for recal/set for donation

[winter elk]

is next seasons battlepass viewable on pts or nah?

do we know what exotics are in it

[tiny stump]

no it doesnt show that

[graceful terrace]

Why does the technician laser pointer not work at all, even while aiming at enemies while having technician specialization on my build?

[tiny stump]

its always been unreliable

[graceful terrace]

Good to know, thanks

[opaque matrix]

In the armour kit tutorial it says you can double tap v to instantly use one and restore 25% of your armour but it doesnt do anything when i double tap, anyone know what it means?

[inner tendon]

Unless I'm mistaken, isn't that just after Project Resolve launches?
Or are you referring to the chem launcher's double-tap thingy?

[strange harbor]

yeah that instant armor kit use is Project Resolve

[inner tendon]

@opaque matrix Project Resolve doesn't drop until the 6th, assuming the update drops on-time.

There's a pre-launch livestream of it in about 15 hours.

[rugged stratus]

just double checking, you do have the linked laser equiped on weapon rail? just having the spec active isnt enough

[graceful terrace]

Yes, have the laser pointer on the gun and tech is active on that loadout

[willow gale]

the crit chance one?

[rugged stratus]

make sure its the linked laser

ive never had much trouble using it so it should be active pulsing

[graceful terrace]

It is, Linked Laser Pointer with 7% crit chance and has the technician logo on the background

[rugged stratus]

tecnician has no crit chance

[willow gale]

wrong one

[graceful terrace]

?

Even if I bought the laser pointer from the spec?

[rugged stratus]

need this one

[inner tendon]

The one you've activated is from the Demo Spec Tree, you need the Technician Spec Tree.

[opaque matrix]

@inner tendonoh yeah you're right i saw the road map saying the QOL changes were on the 15-18 of december but I didn't see it was just for the PTS.

[inner tendon]

No worries! Div2's timeline can be incredibly confusing.

[graceful terrace]

Yeah that should be the one I think, I'm hopping on now to check it

[rugged stratus]

sometimes i ask the right questions 😎

if its active , even if it messes up, youll still be pulsing 90% of the targets you aim at

[winter elk]

whats gonna be the best lmg next update? sleipnir? rpk? or smth else

[low hill]

Anyone else not able to complete the manhunt? I can't interact with the civvies that are at the castle to finish the hunt for them

[rugged stratus]

it was a bit bugged where you needed to complete them in your own session. might need to restart the manhunt to fix. give a couple others time to respond before resetting tho as there might be a better fix at this point

im personally just running the recruiter as a legacy next season. i wasnt able to talk to the first target and cba to reset 😆

[low hill]

Yeah I really don't want to do it all over again, that shit was annoying af with all the bounty missions

[rugged stratus]

yup, totally agree. i did all on backup calls multiple times. its just a bp trophy reward

[graceful terrace]

My manhunt reset and gave up lmao

[bitter gulch]

hi... i got a problem in division 2 ... i cant start any secret mission.. when i'm at the entrance ... i have to press "F" to scan the entrance ... the "F" logo loads up... but then nothing happens ... any tips here ?

[graceful terrace]

I had rescued Vik was on my way to doing Cindy's activites and then it got glitched out

[graceful terrace]

Yeah it's active and it's still not pulsing anything

[rugged stratus]

im not sure then. ig no flatline/spotter/heartbreaker.

game must be broken

[willow gale]

npcs switched to pulse res build

[bitter gulch]

Ther's the problem ... when i press F nothing happens ... The "F" Icon fills up and nothing more

[graceful terrace]

Sick 👍🏻

[rugged stratus]

yeah you definitly have the right laser (just inspected ya) . see if you can get it to work in the shooting range

[tropic gust]

Aegis
Exuro
Cavalier
Hotshot

any of the new gearsets any good?

the Hotshot looks like a direct upgrade to Aces
while the rest are shit
am i missing anything?

[willow gale]

Cava isnt new

Aegis isnt out yet but we will have to see how it plays out

[rugged stratus]

hotshot top tier. the rest are meh

[willow gale]

it is fairrly decent but we shall have to see

I think itll be strong in pvp

maybe not so much in PVE

[rugged stratus]

i gota look up aegis

[rugged stratus]

oic, tank type. thanks 🍻

[willow gale]

with intim and adrush i can see it being fairly strong

especially with health being buffed

in pvp

PVE I dont really see it being all that good. its a selfish tank or a half ass tanking half ass DPS build

[rugged stratus]

yeah, pve probably not unless someone is combining it with pfe

[low hill]

Yeah mine did that too but I wasn't very far so I did it all again

[clever karma]

So targeted loot countdown is the best way to farm exotics right trying to get a st Elmo’s and nothing but a catharsis in 16 runs exotic wise and the cache rng was been horrible as well

[inner tendon]

As long as you are playing on Challenging or above whilst following the other steps, then you are putting out your best chance.

[clever karma]

Challenging and heroic for me so yeah

I guess rng just hates me

[mellow trout]

Rnjesus giveth and rnjesus taketh

[inner tendon]

Reject rngesus, pray to lootcifer.

[clever karma]

I’ve gotten 3 chameleons back to back

It’s painful

[mellow trout]

Sacrifice your unicorns to lootcifer

[clever karma]

Well I just got a bluescreen from a cache

At least it’s a new weapon

I’m another not what should I look for in a famas and is preservation good on one

[mellow trout]

Preservation is nice

Fast hands is a great one

[winter elk]

How are gear mods changing in project resolve, are they making it so you have infinite of the best stat for each mod? Eg having one 13pfe means you can put it on every piece of gear at the same time?

Or am i mistaken

[inner tendon]

As far as we're aware, only the skill one is changing, the rest I suspect are coming later on.

as for how they're changing, that's pretty much it yeah. You have one copy, getting a better one increases the stat % and you can apply it infinite times.

[tight maple]

Do difficulty and directives affect the Dark Zones?

[winter elk]

only skill? thats odd

[mellow trout]

Slow and steady is how it goes or the game shits itself

[static trout]

issa bit crowded in here, good thing I crashed

[static trout]

Anyone knows of a neat lil program to add a crosshair dot to your screen?

[naive jasper]

i use crossover.exe

[static trout]

thanks

[rugged stratus]

go oldschool and use a sharpie

love getting unicorn drops. too bad it wasnt sd/se tho, maybe next time

[polar shore]

is it good

[tiny stump]

yes

[spare atlas]

Good weapon for skill builds

[polar shore]

ok ty

just deconstruted it

dmg suck

[tiny stump]

doesnt matter at all if you dont ever use skill builds

[polar shore]

uwu

[naive jasper]

doesnt all base dmg suck

[polar shore]

frt

[mellow trout]

Oh bruh I got one with skill damage and status effects the other day and I was thinking if only I got haste instead of se lmao

[mellow trout]

?

The stats it displays on the gun itself lie to you

[polar shore]

fr

[mellow trout]

That and the fact capacitor is for skill builds

Not dps

[bronze torrent]

Hybrid builds are great for capacitor

Crit skill damage and have a few red cores with the rest yellow cores

[mellow trout]

Ah the thing is having hybrids between damage and skills never ends well

You end up being subpar with both

[viscid dagger]

It does

Paired with future perfect

Hell use mechanical Animal next season since it'll stack up to 4

Hell capacitor is also getting buffed next season

[mellow trout]

It is?

More than 3rd attribute?

[viscid dagger]

Yea

Pdr getting buffed and that also includes capacitor

Dttooc plus dta plus 10% buff

Capacitor looking even sexier

[sudden snow]

will we get FSR3 on PC from the Project Resolve?

[mellow trout]

😍

[sick basin]

Easiest/fastest CP to farm?

[mellow trout]

I just do the one outside castle I forget the name

[rocky ravine]

I like doing navy hill over and over

[static trout]

West End, I was running around and suddenly my UI started blurring like a Hunter was nearby. A dog started barking. Then a static noise gout louder and louder, and there was a smoke screen on top of the roof.
Is this a known hunter - or is it a tease for next season?

up there, above the lightbulb in the middle.

[sick basin]

Any tips for it? Spawn points or anything?

[inner tendon]

@static trout You've just found what we like to call a "stalker", they're non-violent hunters that spawn in hard to reach places, and drop no loot if you do manage to kill them, but mostly just run away if you get too close.

There's a load of spawns around the map and they've been in the game for years.

[static trout]

It's my first one :o
Thought we were all gonna get together and conspire about the next season, but alas.

[inner tendon]

There's a few in missions too actually, the easiest one to find is in The Recruiter, in the lead-up to the gate just after the first ladder you climb up, take the side path and one is standing in a doorway.

[static trout]

I thought that was just him, no?

[inner tendon]

I didn't get that close of a look, but it did just kinda look like a regular stalker to me.
either way, neat little world-building stuff, it's what I've always loved MSV the most for.

[static trout]

I atleast just took it as being him, keeping an eye on you throughout the mission - he appears 2 or 3 times iirc.

[rocky ravine]

sorry it was navy plaza, true sons territory.. at first just clear everything without calling for backup. Once you kill the leader, run within the boundary of the CP until you can see these 2 manhole, fire the flare, and the enemies will spawn in those 2 holes

[blazing timber]

Only missing weapons for ar are M4/C7/Famas

Every other thing got a buff

[inner tendon]

Well the goal of the buffs in Resolve seemingly was to buff underused/underpowered stuff, so that tracks.

[rocky ravine]

the manhole is around here

[static trout]

I wouldn't do navy plaza if you wanna hard farm CPs, too much run time after a reset imo

[rocky ravine]

i agree that the reset and running there took more time.. any ideas?

[inner tendon]

Re-running the same CP over and over is a great way to uninstall the game.

[static trout]

Sleeping Giant, Cinderblock, Crash Site I think are nice

[inner tendon]

vary up your playtime, div2 is not meant to be speed-ran to the finish line.
if you're trying to get to Lvl 100 in the Season Pass before the reset, activities (executions especially) will probably offer you a better rate anyway, (but do both so you stay sane)

[hard blaze]

What would be a good way to try and get Rogue Agents spawn for the RP chest project?

[static trout]

It kinda hints at running through summit floors - but otherwise you could smash through cps

[inner tendon]

Rogues can randomly show up at a CP once the enemies stop showing up in the 2nd wave, randomly during floors in Summit (any non boss room that has a closed door at the end), and in the open world sometimes.

[rocky ravine]

yeah i almost went insane the other days when i keep clearing all those cp for exp, now i just take it slow and try to do things i haven't

[inner tendon]

Yeah exactly, and I've tried that sort of playstyle before, you end up burning out and not playing the game anymore.

[rocky ravine]

anyway, i just tried IH earlier and i can only suck thumb.. any in depth guide for 2nd and 3rd boss?

[static trout]

Too many, but you can always ask to get taught/a leader tells you what is happening - or ask for a lesser impactful role mechanics wise.

Personally, I cleared chungas upstairs on 2nd boss, had prio on add clearing on 3rd and went HH for snipers on last boss, did my part like that.

[inner tendon]

There's a "teaching raids discord" called something to do with gcrock, that's where most people seem to go.
IIRC there's also a linked guide in the spreadsheet over in #td2-build-advice

[rocky ravine]

ok lemme check it real quick

[open ledge]

do you know what its called? or have an invite? ive never done any division 2 raids before

[sick basin]

I’m mostly going for blueprints, I’m already level 100

[inner tendon]

A few things are being added to the game on the 6th, once Project Resolve drops, including buffing the rewards for Projects, etc.
so it might be worth waiting for the update.

[open ledge]

im maxxed out the recal libary, is it worth waiting for the update before doing any optamising or expertise stuff?

[static trout]

everything is a sprint when you got ADHD, never know when the dopamine runs out

[open ledge]

truth. gotta chase the dopamine. music helps a lot

[inner tendon]

Not a big raider myself due to mic issues, but I'll PM you the link.

[static trout]

new builds + farming for gear upgrades is what does it for me - which is also why I'm "stuck" rn, as I wanna fool around with regulus

[open ledge]

thank you, i was a big raider in destiny 2 and other games like swtor, so i cant wait to learn these raids as well

[inner tendon]

Oh I raided lots in both of those actually, just div2 is less friendly if you are not chatty, so to speak.

Honestly, yes. Expertise costs are being halved.

[sick basin]

Definitely recommend that discord server, met some really nice people that I’ve been raiding with lately

[inner tendon]

I like to have old podcats playing whilst I mindlessly farm.
that or late 90's, early 2000's trash pop.

[sick basin]

I’m only SHD level 101 I think and I have 8 clears on DH, gonna run IH soon too

[static trout]

twitch streams (although not so much with division, as the gsync messes up second monitor) and progressive psytrance here :3

Throw me that discord aswell, really need 1-2 IH runs before the reset + another after ❤️

[sick basin]

[vale forum]

what are these and how u get them?

[hard blaze]

Rogue Agents can spawn with the Global Event turned on right?

[spare atlas]

@vale forum you have to activate the golden bullet event, then you get them from completing challenges and simply leveling up

the stars to buy those caches i mean (from the event vendor)

[vale forum]

well i just killed a golden bullet guy but got nothing and no progress

[spare atlas]

yea killing a single one wont give you a challenge or level up

You just leave the event active and it'll come over time by simply playing

Though it is ending soon

[vale forum]

1d 14hr

i can get all days done by then pre sure

[polar shore]

is this good ?

cuz ive heard it wa<s

[polar shore]

anyone can hgelp pls

i did all in the zone but i dont find her

and for the hunt too

when i go to the hunt "seller", i dont find the hunt "mission curators"

[cedar yacht]

Its not atm

[spare atlas]

it's a bounty, click on bounties in the map and then select east mall, it tells you which one is needed for the manhunt

[polar shore]

yea, there no bounty with "mission curators"

but dw i think i found sir

[polar shore]

it does not

when im tryna do an other bounty its typed "another mission "missing curators" need to be ocmpleted frist"

where is the "missing curators" mission

[spare atlas]

no idea then

[static trout]

You should Google that, it's a "hidden" side mission, there's a few of them. Google it, follow a guide, do the side mission then do the bounty.

[polar shore]

i found dw

thanks sir

[static trout]

[noble dragon]

Do the components of Ridgeway's Pride have any use? once i finished the project and opened the exotic cache i got the exotic without needing to craft it, so all the components are still in my inventory

[rugged stratus]

Put ridgeways on an alt and you'll be able to craft another. Any summit ascent you make with ridgeways chest stored on an alt will give the pieces again.

[torpid sundial]

is season vendor the only place to get Legacy Season Caches?

[edgy berry]

Is this a good guide for Paradise Lost? Going to try with some friends today and we don’t have the most bestest of the gear. https://www.sportskeeda.com/mmo/the-division-2-paradise-lost-incursion-walkthrough-rewards
Still need to find out how to do the tanking thing.

[wispy merlin]

you don't need to do any tanking in it fyi

otherwise seems like a pretty good guide

[strange harbor]

The suggested healer build in that guide is wrong. The tank build is not needed (in fact it slows you down).

[wispy merlin]

for FI healer follow the one from the spreadsheet (raucey's guide)

[open ledge]

isnt the meta, 3 dps 1 healer?

[edgy berry]

I am following that or the ikia one. Just need btsu gloves

[strange harbor]

yeah, but that guide suggests FI with Alp chest. Raucey's FI is much better.

[dusty drift]

Hi, you can weaken the determined talent in pvp, it is playable with those who have aim assist. Thank you

[drifting jacinth]

Anyone got tips on how to farm Sturdy 5.55 mag? +20 for AR

[glad hearth]

Hey, i can't start the General Anderson Manhunt. It says i did not discovered the fast travel point. can someone help?

[open ledge]

level 3 or 4 capture points

[drifting jacinth]

Okay so just farm control points? Not specific to an area right?

[open ledge]

yup, its a rare drop so prepare to grind for a while

[drifting jacinth]

hmm damn

[inner tendon]

If you're ever curious about where a thing comes from, you can check the Crafting Table and on the side it lists the location of stuff.
and it has an equal chance to drop as all the other BP's, each completion of a control point (CP) gives you one BP guaranteed, so you will 100% get it.

tl;dr you will eventually "run out" of rewards from CP's.

[open ledge]

just a case of grinding for a while till it drops, considering how many blueprints there are now

i know after basketball tomorrow, im grinding for it, need it for my p416

[drifting jacinth]

Good tip thank you

[inner tendon]

Gun modding in div2 is fairly simple. For 90% of guns you just go the biggest mag possible, and crit chance (CHC) mods for the rest.

the one main exception is on a Hotshot build you need stability for your MMR to reach 100%.

[open ledge]

actually whilst ive got you. at what shade level do you max out every slot ie 50 in everything? im at 130 right now

[inner tendon]

Lvl 999 is when you stop getting stat bonuses and just get only the Scavenging (5th) ones.

[open ledge]

but at what level do you finally have 50 in all slots bar scavenging?

[inner tendon]

Lvl 999.

most people just say "SHD 1k" to be simpler.

[open ledge]

ive got a long way to go then lol

[inner tendon]

It seems like a long haul at first, but div2 is fully meant to be played at that kinda glacial pace.

[open ledge]

its very much a, your going to slowly improve your build and other builds hour by hour as you keep playing kinda game

[glad hearth]

Hey, i can't start the General Anderson Manhunt. It says i did not discovered the fast travel point. can someone help?

[inner tendon]

Have you tried fast travelling there and starting from the actual point? That fixes that issue on other ones sometimes.

[glad hearth]

Thats the point, the fast travel point is not shown on map.

[inner tendon]

Can't start from the map itself? There should be an icon for it.
some Manhunts have the "change mission type" thingy too.

[tulip fiber]

General Anderson is at Pentco, right? I think that icon is next to the Countdown icon

[glad hearth]

unfortunately not. on my 2nd character there is an icon for fast travel, but on my first character it is not shown

there is only the icon for countdown

[inner tendon]

I had this issue a while ago actually, and I did another Manhunt and it kinda just fixed itself.
If all else fails, no harm in trying.

[tulip fiber]

Do you have an option to do start the legacy manhunts? If you go to the manhunt tab, there should be an option along the bottom to do the past final manhunt missions.

[glad hearth]

yeah, it says undiscovered

[zenith bough]

whats the best way to farm to 1000SHD? darkzone?

[tulip fiber]

Open world activities with directives; heroic difficulty.

[polar shore]

1000shd ?what is that? SHD level?

[spare atlas]

yes with SHD lvl 1000 you have maxed all the passive bonuses

after that its only health

and materials i guess

[zenith bough]

yes sorry i meant level 1000 for the watch

[cedar yacht]

Open world activities

[zenith bough]

just random ones or any specific?

[cedar yacht]

The higher difficulty and more directive the better

[polar shore]

oooo

[spare atlas]

And if you're like me (also still a nub) I'd recommend not overdoing the xp farm and just play other stuff in between as well. Otherwise at least I would get burnt out on it quickly

[polar shore]

yea

[torpid sundial]

is season vendor the only place to get Legacy Season Caches?

[rugged stratus]

these are xp numbers for different activities, before directives. use 4 directives to double xp gains. controlpoints , executions, hostage rescue, and propaganda all fast xp activities

[spare atlas]

Or be the world first to get 1000 SHD by only running Target Practice

[rigid sentinel]

Target practice still works?

[spare atlas]

Was just supposed to be a dumb joke because it gives so little xp

[strange harbor]

@spare atlas don't know if you know this or not but world first 1000SHD probably did run Target Practice before they patched it out

[spare atlas]

oh lol, TIL

[winter elk]

heroic 3-5 directives public executions

or control points on challenging or heroic until you get all the blueprints

[inner tendon]

There was actually a certain "glitch" a long time ago now where Target Practice was used as an exploit, but it's been since patched.

hence the confusion over that one I suppose.

[inner tendon]

@amber snow If you want to report a hacker ingame please send in a support ticket. This server can't actually do anything about them.
Although if you do have proof of a cheater and their discord name is 100%, feel free to send in a PM to modmail.

[amber snow]

was just joking thats why i censored the name

[inner tendon]

Can never be too careful. You know how the internet can be with stuff.

[amber snow]

well they prob are but i wanted to joke about it

but i forgot to block out the name

project resolve drops with the new season right?

[inner tendon]

Should do! there's a livestream over on twitch for it in just under 13 hours, #news-and-announcements has the local time.
Resolve drops a day after.

[amber snow]

day afters fair i guess, since season launches are kinda known to break the game

[inner tendon]

Oh I mean that they're both due to launch together on the 6th in america time.

[amber snow]

honestly feel like it'll be delayed if the season launch goes south

oh

[inner tendon]

livestream is a day early, discussing upcoming changes.
super excited.

[mellow trout]

Definitely looking forward to both resolve and vanguard

[amber snow]

as long as they kept the eagle bearer buff this'll be the greatest update ever

[mellow trout]

Here’s hoping the manhunt target will give something other than patch

[inner tendon]

Best buff coming with Resolve? Slightly more bullets in my mp5's mag.

[mellow trout]

Im throwing away Elmo for my EB

[inner tendon]

I. Am. A. God.

[amber snow]

didnt know smgs got buffed

[amber snow]

EB best in slot like it should be lets gooooo

[mellow trout]

best in slot is a stretch

[inner tendon]

I mean the Talent is still ehhhhhhh

[mellow trout]

But its definitely more viable

[amber snow]

thought the math wizards proved its best in slot

[mellow trout]

Especially if you can hit headshots

[inner tendon]

honestly I think famas/c7/m4 will still be near the top, since not much got nerfed in this patch.

[mellow trout]

That goes to f2k or famas damage wise

[amber snow]

dont need headshots now that 3rd att can be rerolled

[mellow trout]

Need headshots to proc tenacity

[amber snow]

tenacitys just tank

[inner tendon]

the lack of mod slots on an f2k is kinda rough, the buff for it would've had to be pretty hefty to be BiS

[tiny stump]

dont need hsd attribute to proc tenacity anyway

[mellow trout]

Yeah but you gotta get headshots

[amber snow]

i wish the ravenous got more love, i dont like rifles in general but i still want all the raid weapons to be best in slot

[mellow trout]

After that youre basically invincible if you chain kills

[mellow trout]

Ah that wouldnt be healthy

All 3 raid exotics have a place

[amber snow]

idk it should be rewarding especially when the weapons arent even guarenteed

[mellow trout]

Regulus is an excellent gun and EB will be more viable

EB already common in DZ anyway

[amber snow]

the pistol is guaranteed and is one of the best guns in the game

[mellow trout]

You get 8 chances a week from the chest

More if y’all switch characters

[amber snow]

i only did character switch for oreo, maybe the rav

but regulus, oreo, and eb all viable and ravenous just in a corner collecting dust

[mellow trout]

Rav has it's uses

[amber snow]

i only like it with glass canon but thats glass canon

maybe if rifles had a gearset equivalent to strikers, strikers just makes anything feel nice

[mellow trout]

It's a staple for stagger tanks and an anti plating machine

[amber snow]

i got 55 exotic components for this update i got a feeling half of it is going to rolling dttoc on my eb

i wanna roll dttoc on backfire it was pretty good in pts

[winter elk]

mfw i now have to optimise my eagle bearers health stat from practically min to max

[amber snow]

Gotta reroll to dttoc anyways

[tiny stump]

backfire with dtoc and strikers

[amber snow]

If they just buffed the duration of stacks backfire could def be a S tier weapon

[tiny stump]

yeah make them decay not disappear

[amber snow]

Yeah same decay rate as strikers

Like a perfect synergy build with strikers lol

[inner tendon]

What about the bleed?

[tiny stump]

doesnt need to happen

[inner tendon]

Never need to reload? Assuming you mean this is for GB, what about the rest of the year?

[tiny stump]

no no im talking about bleed resistance

[inner tendon]

How high a % are you hitting with this build?

[tiny stump]

percent of what

[inner tendon]

bleed/haz pro, what % are you reaching in total?

[tiny stump]

100

bleed resist

and like 70 or 80 hazpro

[inner tendon]

Okay maybe I'm missing something, but how are you hitting 100%?

which is a tad too high btw, but that's fine for now.

[tiny stump]

2 10% bleed resist mods. i think bleed resist stops backfire bleed at between 93 or 94%

[inner tendon]

93.8%, to be way too specific. But even 90-93 is so low a bleed you'll barely notice it with the 10% AoK from Gunner.

[tiny stump]

yeah but if i dont use my 2 mods im not at that level

so the 100% is really an artifact of the fact i have max mods

[inner tendon]

Your crit stats must be awful with this build

[tiny stump]

58 chc 262 chd when all is stacked

[inner tendon]

Yeah but pre-stacked?

[tiny stump]

if you use an ACR to stack the strikers beforehand the 62% chd it has still hits nicely

[inner tendon]

wait, is your crit damage only at 60% on base?

[tiny stump]

yea

62

[inner tendon]

that 2% is not the issue I'm seeing with this one lol.
but I guess with the change to make backfire decay instead, this would probably be a little overtuned.
If the change did go through, I can imagine them cutting the CHD total in half.

[tiny stump]

yeah probably

[inner tendon]

I mean, I have no issue using backfire just on my high-end setup already, I carry Heroics with it as-is.
but then again after enough practice, you can carry Heroics with a frowny face taped to a stick.

[tiny stump]

i mean look at the damage numbers. 1.5 mil body shots. it does better or comparable to most any smg build that has high crit

[inner tendon]

That is kinda what I mean. It's gone from "niche build that you need to be very specific with" to "rivalling AR striker and requires 3 braincells to make"

[tiny stump]

takes 3 braincells to make most viable builds in this game\

[inner tendon]

I wouldn't mind it being super strong and my love for it being vindicated, but attaching it to Strikers seems like the wrong call.

[tiny stump]

i was just going for dmg and strikers is by far the winner in that respect obv

[inner tendon]

I want build diversity more than anything. Strikers has overshadowed too many good builds as-is.
i mean for a very good reason, but still.

[tiny stump]

i still wont use that build tho

\its just to see what would happen

[viscid dagger]

Think it's 96 to stop the red screen

Maybe I'm wrong

[tiny stump]

yea i think it may have changed at some point by a couple percent

[viscid dagger]

I know because I have a fully dedicated strikers haz pro just to use with backfire

[willow gale]

idk about you but 70% dmg reduction is pretty nice

[viscid dagger]

Even more so in pvp

[willow gale]

EB supremacy

[viscid dagger]

But it's not like you can't use it pretty well in PVE

Especially with it's buffs

[inner tendon]

If you get the 3 kills sure.

[willow gale]

you can use it pretty well in PVE

[inner tendon]

Never said it was bad, just that it was ehhhhhhhh

[willow gale]

theres not a single other item in the game that allows you to fully face tank 4+ heroic NPC's on an all red build

and i refuse to admit that its insanely sitautional and i die to tenacity all the time for no reason

[wispy merlin]

sadly there isn't one, if you want a surefire way you will have to know what the best stats are for any kind of build you want to make now, and that requires that you understand a bit about the current builds

[wispy merlin]

that's kinda the schtick with rpgs, you have to understand stats a lot more than other genres

that said this game's useful stats aren't as confusing to understand as other games

there are straight up trash stats that you can disregard

[kind cove]

Whats the actual difference between amplified damage and normal damage

[mellow trout]

Doesn't normal scale off base and amp is a separate multiplier

Some of the maffs guys will know better

[kind cove]

Still, what does that effect

[mellow trout]

More damage

[wispy merlin]

got examples?

[kind cove]

Best example currently being the massive nerf to the new upcoming weapon talent

[wispy merlin]

broadly speaking, amplified damage applies a multiplier to your damage, so say if it says 15% amp then your damage after buff divided by your damage before buff is 1.15

[mellow trout]

So I do kind of understand div maffs woo

[wispy merlin]

when it says "increases X% weapon damage" or "total weapon damage", it will add to those multipliers, which means the net effect isn't going to make your damage go up by that amount

it will be a bit less

[kind cove]

So amplified damage is less damage?

[wispy merlin]

the purpose is to make the buff value not as big

generally amplified damage is more damage

[mellow trout]

Isn't TWD multiplicative

[wispy merlin]

everything is multiplicative... lol

when you say something is additive or multiplicative, you should say it's additive to something or multiplicative to something

twd is multiplicative to every other multiplier out there

but that's not useful information

[mellow trout]

I see

[wispy merlin]

let's take an example

you would say vigilance and obliterate are additive to each other

why? because they both add to twd

[mellow trout]

But multiplicative to everything else

[wispy merlin]

yes. multiplicative to weapon damage, to base weapon damage, and to every amp out there

[mellow trout]

Ohhhh

[wispy merlin]

but they add to each other, because the net effect of having them both is modifying twd from 1 to 1.5, not making it 1.25 × 1.25 which would be 1.5625

[kind cove]

Brain hurt

[mellow trout]

Rightt

[wispy merlin]

the takeaway is... the wording being different usually implies their interaction with other buffs will be different. i'm not trying to be laborious about it so if you have further questions just ask and i'll do my best to answer

[rugged stratus]

caveat being, if only 1 source of TWD on build, it acts like an amp. its when stacking it that it loses some value

[wispy merlin]

but for them changing flatline from "amplifies" to "increases", they're trying to make its value less

[kind cove]

That makes a little more sense

So its when you start stacking other amounts of damage on top of an amplifier that makes things weird?

[wispy merlin]

when you start stacking damage that says they're the same "type"

[mellow trout]

So this is why everyone recommends as many multipliers as possible

[rugged stratus]

yeah as long as it doesnt hurt crit

[mellow trout]

I seee

[civic lily]

foxes prayer striker moment

[wispy merlin]

a good thought exercise is trying to understand why fenris isn't recommended over say ceska on a crit AR build

[mellow trout]

Loads of base weapon damage from red cores already?

[wispy merlin]

yeah

[mellow trout]

Ahhh

[wispy merlin]

but try to see if you can get it down to the number

what the numerical buff value is of the two

and compare

[mellow trout]

So crits are more valuable because you have less

And if your crits were to get really high at that point you'd get more from stacking base damage?

[wispy merlin]

yeah, or other multipliers

[civic lily]

if you have like 3 blues fenris becomes slightly better

[wispy merlin]

if you want to be analytical about it always look at the equivalent multiplicative increases between your options, and pick the one with the highest

[mellow trout]

Ah cuz less reds so more valuable base damage

[wispy merlin]

like on a 6 red build, fenris would increase about 4.3%. so if you had an amp in the game that says it amps your damage by 4.3%, fenris would act exactly like that amp

but that changes by the amount of weapon damage you have on that build, so it will fluctuate

or if you just want to listen to recommendations there's always #td2-build-advice

[mellow trout]

I've got basically every build I'd want for now it's just interesting seeing how the numbers work because before this it's basically been

Put this on and watch your numbers magically go up

Except a mortar build

Still need the damn grupo unicorns

[civic lily]

be me and get it from a vendor

[mellow trout]

I'm salty I missed the unicorn holster that was in a vendor weeks ago

[civic lily]

same week yaahl was in the clan vendor too

Should've maxed out my yaahl weave but I thought 400 was enough

[rugged stratus]

get on it 🦄

[civic lily]

[rugged stratus]

didnt want to spend the 6mil?

[wispy merlin]

red pill or blue pill?

[civic lily]

too much shd points

[rugged stratus]

poor ppl problem

[mellow trout]

Will I regret picking red

[civic lily]

blue gang

[wispy merlin]

idk, would you think i regret

[mellow trout]

Red then

[civic lily]

👀

[wispy merlin]

then any questions you want answers to i'll do my best 👍

[civic lily]

do not ask for how intimidate or headhunter works worst mistake of my life

[inner tendon]

should've picked blue, blue smarties are better

[mellow trout]

Isn't it just have bonus armour for big damage

[wispy merlin]

intimidate's complexity is like WAAAY less than hh...

[mellow trout]

And HH like scales off base damage

[wispy merlin]

i'll take this to #td2-build-advice

[proud vine]

Question: If i find an exotic in a lvl30 DZ , reconfigure it to a lvl 40, does that then "count" as finding a lvl 40 exotic in the open world so it gets added to the exotic drop pool?

Specifically, EB just dropped a bit ago, and it's my first one ever, so wondered if its now in the general exootic pool or still a raid/DZ exclusive

[strange harbor]

Still exclusive

[wide wagon]

any word on tha vindicator cost??

[static trout]

I believe EB will always be raid/DZ exclusive

[static trout]

Not outside the cost from PTS at 350 NSA tech I believe, but we'll find out tomorrow ^^

[oak talon]

its 95.1, that 93.whatever is for highest know enemies bleed,
the backfire is 20 seconds, to take it away you need to reduce it to under 0.5 second, so you need to reduce it by 95% and then 0.1% to go over.

[raven socket]

guys is there any way to get the Skill Variants right now?
Like the Sticky EMP or Shrapnel Trap?

[inner tendon]

To get those 4 skills, you need to re-run the Legacy Manhunts, specifically Roosevelt island for Sticky EMP and Coney Island AP for the Shrap Trap.

[raven socket]

What is the Legacy Manhunt?
I am fairly new to the Game.

[inner tendon]

Once you get to a certain level in the Season Pass (free tier, no gameplay content is locked to the paid one) you permanently unlock the older Manhunts to be able to play whenever you want.

[raven socket]

Oh I see.
So i kinda have to pick the ones I want the Skills from?
I have to hurry since tmr Pass is gone?

[inner tendon]

Nah the next free Season Pass will permanently unlock them too.

[raven socket]

Thank you!

[winter elk]

have they said anything new on the stream yet

[inner tendon]

We're chatting about it over in #td2-general-chat, come join us!

[upper burrow]

Can't find players, please remove region lock 😦

[sudden matrix]

Region lock? I play with people from everywhere. What are you matchmaking for?

[nimble spruce]

prob got golden bullet turned off, that will massively reduce the number of players you can matchmake with

[upper burrow]

no players in conflict, descent, summit, expeditions, anything

[nimble spruce]

also, most are prob watching the livestream instead of playing right now

[upper burrow]

they say leave comments, but there is no way to write comments in twitch

[blazing timber]

I can confirm that statement even across seas and oceans

[upper burrow]

is locked here for sure, cant find players, only in white house

how to write comments in twitch?

[spare atlas]

Just type in the chat box? But it's being spammed to shit so nobody's gonna see it anyway probably

[upper burrow]

there is no chat box

[spare atlas]

Arrows for advanced visibility

[sudden matrix]

No color blind consideration??

[spare atlas]

Damnit

[sudden matrix]

lol

[blazing timber]

Where is the screen reader features

[spare atlas]

[upper burrow]

thank u

[narrow kraken]

just getting back into the division after many years with a ~500 gearscore character, what are the best loot getting activities that are available to me

[rugged stratus]

Get through wony expansion, then start farming loot. Most stuff is available after warlords of new york

[narrow kraken]

what if i dont want to buy the expansion

[inner tendon]

WONY is more than half the game at this point, you can still have fun without it, but the bulk of stuff being added is going to be based off having it.

if you do decide to get it, just wait until its on a heavy sale. regularly goes for 70%+ off.

[narrow kraken]

bet ill do that

[inner tendon]

It's valentines day soon yeah, so I'd bet that there's going to be a sale on there.
hopefully WONY is included.

most major holidays have one.

[narrow kraken]

i suppose ill do raids for now, is that efficient?

[neat wharf]

Apologies for duplicating it as I have mentioned it in #unofficial-troubleshooting but in case someone's monitoring this that might be able to help!

So, I have recently received the St Elmo exotic AR, went to reconfigure it as it's score level is 448, I have the weapon unequipped in my inventory, unfavourited and I also have an exotic component ready to be spent to reconfigure it, although when I enter the crafting list to reconfigure, every weapon is there, apart from the Elmo, any idea why?

[sudden matrix]

Did you buy the blue print from inaya?

[neat wharf]

I can't fully remember as I did purchase a few things from her, would it be somewhere for me to check if I have?

[sudden matrix]

If you go to her and she has nothing then you'd have everything you can get.

[neat wharf]

Yeah she does have stuff for sale but nothing relating to the Elmo AR so I'd assume I have purchased it

Just confused as to why it's the only weapon not on the list yet it's the only one I have in my inventory 🤣

[sudden matrix]

On second thought you might not be able to reconfigure it anyway. I think it's in an odd spot where it's DLC weapon but it can drop from certain sources on level 30.

[neat wharf]

Oh brill 🤣

Dismantled my current levelled Chameleon to get the component ffs ahaha

[rancid lichen]

is the dot from vile considered a status effect for the purposes of indirect transmission from eclipse protocol?

before i throw mats at building a set

[sudden matrix]

Vile ticks scale off explosion damage but considering how much damage it provides it's the most damage you'll get out of an item in slot.

Also it's a no brainer extra damage with really good synergy.

[severe fable]

guys who can help, I bought the neck protection of the striking hunter and she does not dress up and does not show up in the inventory, I already logged into the game but it did not help

[spare atlas]

Can't really help, but I had the same yesterday and the stuff arrived a few hours later in my inventory randomly

[severe fable]

thanks, everything has already been fixed. Oh, these bugs

[rancid lichen]

will the 4 piece bonus from eclipse spread and refresh the dot from vile?

[sudden matrix]

Yurp.

[rancid lichen]

🤌

[sudden matrix]

I should say it wont refresh but it'll apply it if they don't have it.

[rugged stratus]

Vile dot proc from status. As long as something is spreading you'll get fresh vile ticks. 1 per npc regardless of how many status they have applied

For 10 seconds iirc

[rancid lichen]

welp, time to spin up vile/lavosier and some blue eclipse and see if i can make everyone invincible

[rugged stratus]

😬 blue ep

Dont use vile without ep bag. Will be wasted otherwise

[rancid lichen]

bag is radius or damage amp for me?

[rugged stratus]

Damage amp. 30%

I would use something different for a galvanize build and slap on scorpio to proc.

Standard ep is really strong with fire

Cc ep really strong with foam and either creeping death for spread or opportunistic to increase teams damage.

[rancid lichen]

what would you use for galvanize to take advantage of it?

[kindred rapids]

Is the festive delivery Christmas backpack only avaliable at Christmas? Or is it in the loot goblin pool after the event?

[narrow matrix]

Easiest thing is Scorpio, otherwise there’s the exotic vector smg ouroboros but this depends on the enemy using status effects on you

There’s also bluescreen I suppose as it has disorient but range issue

You could also use hunters fury I think

[slim elk]

you may be able to find a loot goblin somewhere but the exclusives won't drop anymore

[hot canyon]

Loot goblin is still around, just ran into him yesterday but no holiday loot till next Xmas.

[slim elk]

yep

[kindred rapids]

Thanks

[slim elk]

So, I'm kinda new to seeing terms like HB, KB, HF, but absolutely don't know what they mean, can some1 guide me?

[inner tendon]

Most are pretty clear once you start learning builds and such, but for those three it's Heartbreaker, Kingbreaker, and Hunters Fury.
the first and 3rd are gearsets, the 2nd is an AR (assault rifle)

[slim elk]

Ty, didn't pay too much attention to it

[inner tendon]

All good, everyone started off as a newbie. If you ever are curious, don't hesitate to ask.

[marble bison]

i have 9/19 AR blueprints, how can i get more?

[cedar yacht]

CP3 or 4 and Descent

[inner tendon]

If you check the Crafting Table, it lists the location of most stuff.
chances are that they're mostly from CP's yeah.

[sudden matrix]

Should be noted that you wont ever get 19/19 nor will you ever fill out every BP because even if you have every one that you could have via seasons and such there are still blue prints missing just because.

[marble bison]

i see, thanks everyone

[inner tendon]

Actually they spoke about that today, and they're working on adding those back in.

it won't be soon though.

[sudden matrix]

That would be friggin sick. I do know people who have everything from the season/descent and all the blueprints you can get and they still don't have a maxed out crafting bench tho. Did they address the past seasons BPs or the fact that you can't have a filled out bench?

[inner tendon]

Yeah the lack of previous season BP's that are now just kinda "gone" is what they were referencing. They did say that it won't be soon and that other stuff is first, but like, it's noted and they're looking at the problem.

I don't think they mentioned the things that never had BP's for them though.

[sudden matrix]

Yeah it can be strange to have all the BPs and 18/19 items for certain things.

[narrow matrix]

Is puppeteers ending tonight?

[kind cove]

They should make an apparel event of all the gear set outfits from battlepasses

Bring back the actual good outfits

[polar shore]

is this weapon good? got it from exotic cache, can translate by "family medecine"

[frigid crystal]

Hey its Doctor Home!

I use it for my build i think its decent

[pseudo tundra]

Its decent for utility and playing on groups

[narrow matrix]

What does this mean?

Dark Zone: All conditions that require eliminating other players have been removed and were replaced by the PvE-oriented ones (extract items, clear landmarks, etc.)

[spare atlas]

Trying to knock out some specialization challenges ... anyone know how to make Books in the District Union Stronghold deploy his turret? 😄

[wispy merlin]

just let him

he's a hyena engineer, he'll do what hyena engineers do

[spare atlas]

I tried aggroing him but he just kept shooting me, de-aggrod, and now he's just walking around 🤔

[wispy merlin]

get some distance in between, he'll deploy it when he's not threatened

get aggro on him again but don't get too close to him

[spare atlas]

ahh thx that did the trick

[spare atlas]

Holy moly the specialization challenges are mind numbing

[frank wren]

Hi Agents! Bit of personal there, severe OCD got me to delete my two characters in TD1 and TD2 last Friday (I have treatment so no worries!). Sent a ticket to Ubi just now with TD1 category in hopes of getting everything back, would be a miracle! Do you think I have a chance? ☺️

[spare atlas]

Hmm I can only select story mode for Manning Zoo in normal mode, all other difficulties set it to Manhunt, which I guess won't allow me to do the named boss challenge? Any way to fix that?

[narrow matrix]

There’s a button to toggle mission mode

[spare atlas]

Yea

But I only get "story" difficulty for regular manning, and swapping modes only gives me "Manhunt" for Mari, then I can choose difficulty but wont get the named boss

I think I'll just ditch the spec challenges alltogether until I ever need one of the blueprints for some unfathomable reason 😄

[rugged stratus]

Run it story, then rerun it on another difficulty

You probably ran it before and it probably took your world difficulty rather than story the first time

[spare atlas]

Ah weird, it worked on all the other strongholds, guess that one screwed up 😩

[willow gale]

give me the TLDR

oh

[clear lion]

Anyone do the mel arnold rescue?

It’s bugged for me

[kindred shell]

Umm dumb question here.

But if someone has the ouroboros is it added to the world loot pool?

[mellow trout]

Nope

[kindred shell]

Ok thank you

[sterile peak]

Can you still get the premium rewards from the season pass?

[inner tendon]

This season ends in about 8 hours, you're cutting it kind of close there.

[hollow crescent]

Reset the whole manhunt and do it on difficulty normal. You can beat within 2 hours

[crystal oyster]

no tip of the spear changes it seems?

[sterile peak]

Ya I just started playing again a few weeks ago but im already 100 bought the premium pass tho just a few mins ago and everything is still locked

[inner tendon]

Restart your console.

[sterile peak]

Bought the art deco pack and also didnt get the mask I got the credits but im restarting now

Still nothing I opened a support ticket on ubisoft site but who knows how long that will take

[inner tendon]

odd. Try doing some stuff and seeing if it's just time.

[tiny stump]

buying stuff isnt always instant

[inner tendon]

I mean it was for me, and I live in the middle of nowhere, technologically.

[sterile peak]

I also now have 3 even caches that I didnt have before even though I already have everything

[tiny stump]

it usually is instant for me too but i have had at least one occasion where it took a half hour

[sterile peak]

Might just be something going on in the background because I bought the art deco pack and dont have the mask but got the 3k credits

[inner tendon]

Those are the freebies you get from buying the Season Pass.
so it's starting to work.

[sterile peak]

Ok good to know maybe ill just reset my console a few more times lol

[unborn thicket]

does anyone know if skill mods are account wide like expertise or individual character ?

[mellow trout]

It's in your stash

Under special deliveries or grants or something

[sterile peak]

Its not in there either I got a pop up 1 time saying I was granted something but theres nothing in there

[mellow trout]

If it's not already in your inventory then it's in your mailbox

[sterile peak]

I have everything now I just went and played a round of countdown and it unlocked while I was in there so its all good now but that was odd

[hollow crescent]

Do you guys think that when you bought Aaron Keeners outfit, you'll get 2 versions of it. One with the hood on and one without. Same like with the Recruiter he had one with the cloak and one without . And the backpack from Keener would be one strap like in Div 1

[sterile peak]

Theres a Keener outfit? Didnt know that im kinda sad I missed the recruiter outfit the one with the cloak is sick lol

[hollow crescent]

New season they going to add all the WONY Rogue Agent outfits. So basically they adding Conley, Parnell, Khajika, Dragov and Keeners outfit in the shop if im correct. You can only buy it with real money and i've heard that its going to be rotating in the shop

[mossy wing]

Is there any updated listings for where exotics drop? I know things have changed over the years, but I’m having trouble finding accurate info

[amber snow]

did the devs mention anything about a resource refund with the new expertise costs?

[mellow trout]

Nope, would be too big of a refund anyway

[amber snow]

wouldnt have to be like exact like ive heard theyve given exotic components before

[mellow trout]

Exo components will be really easy to get after resolve anyway

And cheaper expertise so you spend even less

[drifting jacinth]

Whats the best way to farm specialization points?

[slim elk]

I'd say countdown, but by doing CP's is another alternative

[drifting jacinth]

cool thanks

[sterile peak]

Exotics can drop anywhere best way is to just farm countdown and put targeted loot to whatever exotic your looking for

[inner tendon]

Several activities in the game award 'Spec Points', including but not limited to; invaded missions, certain bounties, levelling up your SHD (gives you 1 each time), and certain Projects.

Just check for the reward of something you're doing, if it lists the Spec Tree icon you have active and a number, that'll be how many points you get for doing it.

[slate saddle]

when is resolve going live?

sry im in like gmt+8 so i really cant tell how many hours or when that is

is that like in a few hours or happening now

[wraith flare]

<t:1707219000:R> / <t:1707219000:t>

roughly

[wide bay]

the update starts in 2 hours

[wraith flare]

going down around <t:1707208200:t>

[wide bay]

like drib said, but they use a bot that updates it to your time zone

[slate saddle]

thank you!

[amber snow]

theres gonna be a textiles vendor or is yt clickbaiting again?

[wraith flare]

there is going to be one

[amber snow]

tomorrow?

[wraith flare]

believe so

[amber snow]

did they elaborate what the vendor sells?

[atomic coral]

Exotic cache, named cache, optimisation cache I believe

Limited stock per week

[amber snow]

limited stock theres the catch

[atomic coral]

Yeah

[amber snow]

almost sounded too good lol

[atomic coral]

Well they dont want those with hundreds of thousands of textiles to get ungodly amounts of exotic caches

Limited to 1 exotic cache per vendor cycle lol

I suppose its not too bad in the grand scheme of things when literally every project is gonna give exotic components

[amber snow]

1 a week? thats bad

[wraith flare]

theres always the dz vendors

[amber snow]

id rather stick to countdown

cuz then i can target loot snipers cuz they got really good exotic drop rate and im buying the caches

[wraith flare]

same with that vendor

theres a lot of places to get exotic caches more is always better

[amber snow]

atleast their making the summit better sorta

30 lvls is tiring

[atomic coral]

Yep

[narrow matrix]

How so?

What they changing?

[atomic coral]

The project for it requires 15 floors now instead of 30

[sage delta]

just got into game to make some daily

👍

[slim elk]

how good are Bloody Knuckles gloves for a build?

[mellow trout]

Very good in incursion

Outside of it I don't think they're of that much use

[slim elk]

oke, ty

[narrow matrix]

What does this mean?

Dark Zone: All conditions that require eliminating other players have been removed and were replaced by the PvE-oriented ones (extract items, clear landmarks, etc.)

I’m confused as to what mechanism is being changed? Can rogues no longer cut the rope… are you no longer visible when extracting?

Or is this referring to the dz daily project

[wide bay]

referring to the daily project

instead of killing players, you'll have to clear landmarks.

[narrow matrix]

Are the rewards changing?

I saw they’re changing for other projects like season project and such… just didn’t catch any dz reward changes

[inner tendon]

new DZ project reward:

    Crafting Materials
    Dark Zone XP if Dark Zone Project
    Conflict XP if Conflict Project
    2 x Equipment Item
    1 x Weapon Crafting Cache```
They're all listed in the patchnotes.

[narrow matrix]

Ew wasn’t it 10 shd calibration before?

[inner tendon]

No guarantee that they'll look like this in the upcoming bundles, but I wouldn't be surprised if they're at least similar.

[narrow matrix]

Dragov has the coolest outfit

[rain echo]

how big is the update?

[wraith flare]

8.6gb

[static trout]

What update?

(joke because of the background ^^ )

[rain echo]

dont dis bleach

twasn't a dis, I didn't "see the update" because of bleach

[rain echo]

ah

[inner tendon]

I can dis it instead if you like.

[rain echo]

eh

[static trout]

Are you sure you're not ANNA? :susge:

[rain echo]

dont expose her

[inner tendon]

I do often sound like the speaking clock, it's true.

[hollow crescent]

I would definitely main Aaron Keeners outfit. I hope it also come with the hood on. And as gear appearance, you'll get his mask and his backpack with one strap

[mellow trout]

I miss single strap bags

[mossy wing]

Every exotic drops in countdown? That doesn’t sound right.

[mellow trout]

Every non exclusive exotic

Any project exotics won't drop either until you've done the project

[mossy wing]

So which are still exclusive and non project? That was what I was trying to get at

[spare atlas]

the spreadsheet shows where every exotic drops

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nrPBmOrtpkEW1j5fbcRT7L-AXgsGOqMqxXoVtopsiGM/

[mossy wing]

Also my luck with countdown is terrible and not my preferred method

[spare atlas]

click on weapons (named + exo) or gear (named + exo)

[mellow trout]

Ouroboros, ravenous, eagle bearer and regulus still exclusive

You can find ravenous and EB in the DZ but the odds are basically 0

New vindicator exotic will be exclusive to descent too

[winter elk]

Regulus you can craft on a different character tho right

[mellow trout]

You can but you still can't get it outside the raid

There's iirc an extremely rare chance to have it drop without being crafted but still from IH so

[mossy wing]

Thank you

[sullen hearth]

MIKE-01?

[zenith bough]

if u can only pick one piece fox's prayer or contractors gloves which is generally better? for a dz build

[quiet wolf]

Hey guys I am just coming back after many years. I cant seem to figuyre out how to start the new season content? COuld someone help please?

[mellow trout]

Fucking beautiful

[cedar yacht]

Wtf how did yours didn’t go poof

[mellow trout]

No idea

But I could kiss that roll

[inner tendon]

It's not everyone, seems to be somewhat scattered.

[blazing timber]

Lol

Eb trash Scorpio regulus will be the first for me to dttoc

[mellow trout]

I think I have a spare scorpio

Fuck it I'll try

[cedar yacht]

I hope i got a spare eb lying around to try

[blazing timber]

I have one

[cedar yacht]

I had a few but i dont remember

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[mellow trout]

FFS I ran out of steel

No dttooc yet

[slate mortar]

All Exotic Weapons' third attribute will be reconfigurable. guys how do i do this?

it doesnt show anywhere that i can reconfigure it

[inner tendon]

Crafting Table, you can "reroll" and it randomises the stat % of the first 2 as well.

although right now maybe wait, there's reports of deletion bugs.

[devout tartan]

How do I get into the supreme court for Rats Nest? I've been wandering the place for a hot minute with no luck

[amber snow]

Exotics are going poof?

So there's prob going to be a rollback so there's no point playing

[slate mortar]

ait thanks, do you know if i reroll my weapon with expertise level on it, will it remain or get wiped?

[inner tendon]

remain.

[slate mortar]

woah thanks!!

[cedar yacht]

If you’re going to reroll if beware that some people are losing their exotic

[slate mortar]

ait thanks for the heads up, will be waiting for the patch before i do anything rash XD

[amber snow]

Prob just means they'll rollback so not even a point playing rn anyways

If they don't rollback that'll be wild

[mellow trout]

But my god rolled EB😔

[cedar yacht]

Its gonna take a while unless they do an emergency maintenance

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[amber snow]

Ooo apparently there's a bug that the vindicator is being sold by another guy

[heavy barn]

Reset game and it will show up

[cedar yacht]

Oh right how much is it for vindicator

[devout tartan]

When do we get to create our own arm-patches?

[rain echo]

keep or exo comp?

[amber snow]

id keep but thats cuz i like owning a copy of every exotic

[inner tendon]

Keep a copy since ya never know, but since you've already got the "godroll" you might as well junk the rest.

[rain echo]

got it from the last bounty of part 1 of the manhunt mission

[amber snow]

could always toss it to a alt character to hold onto

[inner tendon]

yeah Bounties have a higher chance to drop the Chameleon from the Named Enemies.
so if you farm them out you end up with a fair few copies.

[rain echo]

first manhunt half was brutal

kept freezing was scared id crash

[waxen pendant]

new bugs here

tomorrow another maintenance 10 hours

[blazing timber]

New features

[rain echo]

we dont call em bugs

we call em features

[amber snow]

think ive gotten that before this update either my pc or the game was just being slow

[boreal nexus]

why not unlock

[rugged stratus]

Stealth mode active.
Theyll never see you coming

[amber snow]

wheres the textile vendor?

[rain echo]

ubi what the are you cooking here

[amber snow]

2k is wild

[spare atlas]

Coming in TU20.1 or something, not ingame yet

[amber snow]

aw man

[rain echo]

imagine ur a enemy and you see a agent in this running at you

[fallow inlet]

Hey Rivens, gogamer, Local

[amber snow]

is the vendor not in the game i got a news tab that says gotta find him as hes a wandering trader

[rugged stratus]

What's good Saph ☕

[spare atlas]

at least i can see the person with a pink leotard and hello-kitty themed gun much earlier than a camo'd guy and try to run away

[fallow inlet]

Going back to sleep

[rain echo]

same

soloing 4 directive cps and bounties back to back was hard work

[rugged stratus]

Yeah with the bugs on this release it's a skip day for sure

[rain echo]

heroic

[amber snow]

some of the new weapon skins look awesome, wont know for certain til i unlock them

67 and 70

[rain echo]

welp time to not come back to this game till the 20th when the apperal event comes out

[amber snow]

i dont see exotics going poof on the trello

[mellow trout]

Huh who

[amber snow]

i was wrong on that one, the bug was that the guy could sell to lvl 30s

[mellow trout]

Ah

[noble dragon]

Can i randomly drop The Nemesis if i have the blueprint but still haven't crafted it nor have all the components to do so?

[blazing timber]

If you have the blueprint I think yes it can drop

[noble dragon]

i thought it couldn't, so i was a bit shocked when i dropped it now from a cache lol

[amber snow]

is the reroll bug happen to accounts or just something that can happen anytime u reroll cuz i rerolled my chatterbox and i still got it

[waxen pendant]

what happen to the look?

fr

[noble dragon]

btw i think if you drop it this way you can't reroll it, i don't see the blueprint available for purchase
maybe i'll have to give it to another character, craft it and then buy the reroll blueprint

nvm, close/open the game again and it showed up

[amber snow]

it was like that in pts itll prob get fixed

[dawn grove]

Anyone experience this? I just reroll my st.elmo’s then right after I reroll the weapon is gone. Wtf is happening?

[amber snow]

yeah ppl are getting that

i just rerolled my chatterbox to be safe and i still got it

[tiny cobalt]

Is this bounty glitched at civic center?

[dawn grove]

How am I gonna get it?

[torpid moth]

also buying ranks is bugged

[amber snow]

unless they do a wide acc rollback the only way is farming another one

[rain echo]

Bounty?

[tiny cobalt]

manhunt bounty to be specific

[rain echo]

Not glitched

There's a door

[tiny cobalt]

ah alr, I'll try and find it

I found it thanks

[dawn grove]

Damn this game, my weapon is god rolled. I just want to change it to DTTOC. Instead my weapon is gone.

[torpid moth]

i see a rollback coming soon, with all these exotics dissapearing

[earnest scroll]

When you reroll it to get dttoc you loose your god roll anyway

[amber snow]

dttoc is the godroll unless u mean max roll

[dawn grove]

I know but that doesn’t change the fact that weapon is disappearing. They have serious issues.

[inner tendon]

"godroll" on this server means that you have the ideal stat and all 3 stats are maxed out.

[amber snow]

they havent mentioned exotics disappearing on the trello yet

dttoc alone is godroll to me, in pts took like 20 rerolls just to get dttoc

[rain echo]

My chameleon up there is considered a godroll

Even though I'll never use it

[wraith flare]

look ma I'm at the top of a leaderboard ☻

[sand canopy]

whats this 3rd new thing ???

[amber snow]

i was thinking about rerolling a chamolean but then i remembered the EB is king now

[mellow trout]

True god roll hehe

[dawn grove]

I’m not gonna play this game not until they get back the exotics I’ve lost. I have no patience in farming. I am a solo player with limited time of playing. I don’t wanna farm another one.

[blazing timber]

You optimized it

[dawn grove]

Also the game is getting frequent freeze once in a while.

[mellow trout]

I was one percent off 😔

[civic lily]

so it wasn't a God roll

[amber snow]

i just spent like 15-20 just to get dttoc

[mellow trout]

Took me like 8 for scorp one for cap 7 for reg and 2 for eb

[blazing timber]

You seem familiar

[civic lily]

[mellow trout]

[boreal nexus]

so sad

[inner tendon]

PSA: don't buy Season Ranks. It's literally day 1 you weirdos.

[torpid moth]

its our own money and we can do with it what we want, so stop parenting us

[boreal nexus]

what

[inner tendon]

If you are happy to set fire to your money, go for it. Just don't come back here afterwards and complain that there's no content because you skipped it all on day 1.

[mellow trout]

Brother it's a waste of your cash

We have like 3 months

[torpid moth]

Skull and Bones coming soon, so dont have time to play div2

[inner tendon]

God the logic of that is just...go have fun I guess.

[mellow trout]

At that point I don't suggest you buy the season pass then

[noble dragon]

but i have to take care of my 24 sons while working at my wife's boyfriend shoes industry 24/7! i don't have time to play! (/s)

[mellow trout]

[amber snow]

thought ppl were saying skull and bones was terrible

[torpid moth]

cant say anything about it (still under NDA), but its worth it

[hollow crescent]

My percentage on the manhunt is 23, is that right or is it glitched?

[small trail]

U inownthe Ndas were up when the closed beta happned right?

[amber snow]

just got a picaros holster blueprint from a control point is that new?

[torpid moth]

closed betas didnt have an NDA, i am a Keeper of the code and been to Singapore 2 weeks back so seen more then others

[mellow trout]

Yep

[edgy berry]

Soooo what was the intention with the gear sets having their 2 and 3 piece bonus adjusted? On your opinion of course

Ohhh Ninja Bike seems interesting now then

[boreal nexus]

lol

[dawn grove]

Trello is being updated, They are now investigating the Season Pass bug, Reroll exotic causes deletion bug, and frequent gameplay stutters. I am glad they noticed it.

[cloud cave]

hello, should it say civic center cleared at 23%? I thought it would be 25% for a quarter of the manhunt

[dawn grove]

Same, I got 23% I don't know if it's undiscoverable bug or they have changed the manhunt percentage.

[mellow trout]

@vital oasis

[cedar yacht]

Thats whenever you get blinded now

Which is interesting now

[edgy berry]

How do I find what TU are we currently?

[spare atlas]

Don't know if it's shown anywhere ingame, but it's TU20 right now. Can always check what the latest TU was in #patch-notes I guess

[edgy berry]

ohhh that's right. Thank you.

[amber snow]

anyone buy something from the store and didnt get it?

[spare atlas]

both store and apparel cache items took a few hours to get to me yesterday, even before the update

[amber snow]

I just bought the lover pants and they aren't in my inventory

And I've already been on hold for nearly 2 weeks with ubi support on credits I bought and didn't get

[edgy berry]

There's something on the known problems build about the online services being unstable for season pass and bundles, it may be related

[oblique verge]

Aye where the devs at because the math ain’t mathing yall need to fix this #ask-td2-community

[civic lily]

smg damage brand bonus

[oblique verge]

Weapon damage

[civic lily]

duh

[oblique verge]

Yea it’s suppose to be higher is what I’m saying

[civic lily]

visual glitch hopefully

[oblique verge]

No because with companion active it’s 116k

[muted ginkgo]

I bought the One-time Offer credits pack but i did not receive the credits

[wraith ridge]

do u have to buy the exotic cache from the nsa store to get the vindicator?

[amber snow]

Pretty sure u just buy the gun

Unless it's bugged/changed

[wraith ridge]

nvm found it

[amber snow]

I've been on a wait-list for 2 weeks with ubi support for that, they just escalated my case today

[cedar yacht]

Scroll down

oh nvm

[wraith ridge]

yeah found it , costs 350 NSA tech nlol

[cedar yacht]

yeah

Btw anyone got a pic of the decent uniforms?

[kind cove]

Did the change to mods not come?

[civic lily]

decent

[amber snow]

The devs said the exotic being deleted bug happens if ur inventory is full

[foggy needle]

there was no changes to mods planned at all.

[spare atlas]

Maybe he means the auto deleting of inferior gear mods

Sry skill mods*

[kind cove]

^

[spare atlas]

That is in yea

Some ppl are upset about it though because they can't give a lower mod to their alts or something? Not sure how it works, haven't tested it

[kind cove]

I legit don’t notice a single difference

[foggy needle]

ah

thought you meant balance change to them, my b

[kind cove]

YeahI really don’t see what happened with mods in game it looks the exact same

Wouldn’t even be surprised if the change didn’t happen

[lament furnace]

Yeah I still have multiple copies of the same mods. Seems like it didn't take affect yet it is in the patch notes

[worldly fjord]

they somehow fucked up first person aiming. this is what i see when i aim with a 12x when sitting in cover

[upper burrow]

Texts were translated with google translator?
spanish texts are all wrong and many are not translated

[hard blaze]

Did anyone else buy the premium pass, but not gotten the rewards yet?

[foggy needle]

if you are trying to shield peak, that was fixed this patch (per patch notes)

[worldly fjord]

this is a 12x scope on white death

and im taking cover on some railing

[wispy merlin]

it looks like they're making pov actually based on your head instead of gun now

[acoustic lark]

"Expertise has received UI improvements and can be accessed from the Tinkering Station"
where exactly in the tinkering is the expertise section? i cannot find it. i want to donate gear from on the go

[wraith ridge]

same here

[mint zodiac]

does the 52 descent comms stop at 34?

[sick basin]

Did you restart the game?

[mint zodiac]

i did my weekly and didnt get a new one

[mystic robin]

Where do i go in civic center for the manhunt?

[blazing timber]

That explains me missing sticky emp

I am pretty sure I aimed correctly

[wispy merlin]

they're just messing everything up... i think it's a hiatus for me (not like it already is atm)

[rugged stratus]

Yeah I'm giving it a couple days to shake out the bs

[lethal sparrow]

new broken weapon, doctor home give 10% armor for the group for every headshot on the live build. and you can get more kit by switching weapon after the mark

[sage delta]

it would be really cheap move if kelso gone rogue

[sick basin]

Anything good in vendor reset?

[wooden estuary]

now we can crafting arm patch???

[lethal sparrow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-keQomKYEc doctor home broken on live build

[worldly fjord]

Yup. Next season they reveal manny is actually an alien working for black tusk or some shit

[somber hazel]

after watching many years of detective drama and it tells me the script won't go to that way

[latent spade]

Anyone else have the issue when you go to the premium credits section ingame it says ''Error the store is empty'' ?

[tiny stump]

try buying credits thru the ubisoft connect store or the website

[narrow kraken]

should i save my legendary armor/weapons that im not using for recalibration?

[thorn hedge]

wdym legendary

[narrow kraken]

sorry, high end is what i meant

gold tier items

[umbral matrix]

I bought vanguard season pass and it won't activate, is this an known issue?

[peak horizon]

It just takes time to come through, that's all

[indigo slate]

Can bighorn drop from legendary summit ?

[cedar yacht]

It can

[indigo slate]

Might be the best way to get it ?

[sudden matrix]

Run F10, kill boss, leave an ad, wipe. You won't get boss loot bonus from F10 completion but big horn has a 5% chance from legendary named enemies.

[indigo slate]

Well gonna try that

Might not be able to solo a legendary floor tho

[sudden matrix]

Funk build or something?

[indigo slate]

Nah i'm just bad at the game XD

[sudden matrix]

lol well I wish you luck.

[indigo slate]

I'm like bad at positionning mostly, having mostly troubles with grenades

[sudden matrix]

Well it's a boss floor and if you wipe you'll have the same layout every time so you can figure out what's best for you. You can go to lobby and come back to see about a different layout too.

[sage delta]

so many issues after patch

music and sound randomly stop playing

also freezes when game trying ty play some rare sound

[indigo slate]

Striker seems like not the best build for summit tho

[sudden matrix]

I mean it is very good but you've gotta have a lot of those things you said you weren't so good at for it to be good.

[indigo slate]

True

[sage delta]

shd level?

[indigo slate]

822

[sage delta]

if you not experienced to game yet, yep stiker can be not best.
you prob need more surv.
striker for aggressive play style, when you not wait for enemy to come to you,

[indigo slate]

I am experienced with the game, i'm just really bad on legendary specifically

[sage delta]

you get close to them and prioritize them, ofcs nade guys go out first then drone guys

if you like our of cover long range, there sniper builds

dmg with sniper build https://i.imgur.com/ZFYqArv.png

[indigo slate]

Need to try the hotshot one

[sudden matrix]

Yeah those damage numbers are at top buffs tho. 28 mil is about what you get with 3 pc hots chainkiller and vigi araldi backpack.

[narrow kraken]

i’ve been saving my high end weapons that i’m not using for future reconfiguration, is that the correct thing to do?

[sudden matrix]

Pretty sure the M700s will do more than white death.

[kind cove]

How are the new weapon talents performing

[sudden matrix]

Reconfiguration is where you re roll an exotic and it'll have a random third attribute and stats like you just picked it up. Do you mean recalibration? If so that a library you sacrifice a weapon to pull a stat you can permanently recalibrate on items.

[narrow kraken]

yes that is what i meant

[sage delta]

dont reconfigure your exotic now

[narrow kraken]

i meant recalibration

[sudden matrix]

Is your recal library filled up and max?

[sage delta]

according to reddit, exotic just disapear for some ppl after patch

[narrow kraken]

no, i have nothing in my library right now. i’m gear score 509 and i haven’t played the game in like 3 years and i’m trying to figure out what to do

i’m waiting for wony to go on sale rn

[sudden matrix]

Well there are two recal libraries. One at 30 and a level 40 one. So you can fill out your 30 library now if you want. After you move to wony pretty much all of your non exotic gear is garbage.

[pulsar ridge]

Is the season pass bugged I just bought it and don’t have the rest unlocked

[kind cove]

Yes

This season is quite buggy and scuffed
