50/50. You either do or you don't /s

[wispy seal]

ah ok ty

[rugged stratus]

oxi worked great 👍

[lone path]

oxi worked great and helped me and local deck finish the last part

i accidentally downed myself with it though xDDDDDDDD

[lean pewter]

hi Guys.
Just question regarding blueprints. Right now, have 407 out of 494 in total. What needs to be done to acquire all of them?
Also I just got rugged gauntless exotic - but can't but its blueprint from Inaya. Is this a bug, or they change this too?

[mellow trout]

Likely a bug

[mellow trout]

I think some remain season locked, but there are more blueprints to be earned in descent

[inner tendon]

re: Inaya.
Check if you automatically have it, I know that was happening with some people.
Possibly intentional.

[mellow trout]

I think I'm still missing the reconfig for vindicator, not that I want to lay a finger on it

[lean pewter]

That was the first I checked. Unfortunately, does not have it 😦

[lean pewter]

Is descent the only way? honestly, everything in this mode is rejecting me of it. Would prefer other activities to do.

[mellow trout]

Yes

Reconstructed caches in descent give named blueprints that weren't previously obtainable I think

More fun than grinding open world

[thorn hedge]

or never were

[lean pewter]

that's depends on the very individual evaluation 🙂 I really don't like descent.

Anyway. Regarding the rugged gauntlets - I played countdown, and also made a level. As this happened at the same time, while opening countdown cache, I can't clearly say what decided - but got notification the blueprint has been acquired 🙂

[thorn hedge]

that was probably from the season not the countdown

[fallow inlet]

Hey Local👋

[rugged stratus]

What's good Saph 🍻

[fallow inlet]

gettting ready to hop on mass effect

[rugged stratus]

Nice

[polar ferry]

Could someone please help me with the basilisk challenge for gunner on Xbox shoot me a message privately

[cyan dust]

how can i get the coyotes mask?

[iron thistle]

easiest way is to run the Jefferson Trade Center mission until it drops

[cyan dust]

whats that?

[edgy stone]

Main mission

[cyan dust]

where do i find it and what dif

[iron thistle]

main mission on the western side of federal triangle

[cyan dust]

can u run it with me?

[iron thistle]

I could for a little bit if you're fine with no mic

[cyan dust]

yea

ill dm u

[static trout]

That is a lie. The easiest way is targeted loot, preferably Heroic on 5 Directives.
Coyote's Mask can only drop from one boss, Coyote, in Jefferson Trade Center.
If you run targeted loot for mask, there's a chance any mask drop can be the coyote.

[iron thistle]

I haven't played in a while when i ran for it that was the best way

How many times per week can you run the incursion and open the box

[cedar yacht]

key drop is weekly

and per character

[iron thistle]

ah so its the key that resets weekly

thank you

[static trout]

It's datamined to be a 7% drop rate on Heroic from Coyote, but you have to consider it's an 8-10 minute run if you're efficient.
Mathing it out:
after 10 runs 51,6% of players should see the item | 80-100 minutes
after 32 runs 90,19% of players should see the item | 256-320 minutes
after 64 runs 99,04% of players should see the item | 512-640 minutes
If you do it on a lower difficulty, there's a lower chance.

Heroic 5D TL.
RE: Targeted Loot is an extra drop - requires a normal drop first, which we don't have the math for - but higher difficulty enemies drops more loot.
Named NPCs chance for TL - any difficulty: 100%
Non-named NPCs chance for TL on Heroic 5D: 65%
There's 3 exotic masks.
Chance to get an Exotic via TL for gear in OPEN-WORLD: 0.92%
Chance to get Coyote: 0.92% / 3 = 0.307% from every TL

after 237 pieces of TL 51,6% of players should have Coyote's Mask
after 756 pieces of TL 90,19% of players should have Coyote's Mask
after 1512 pieces of TL 99,04% of players should have Coyote's Mask

Note this does not include Countdown, as it seems to have a lower exotic drop rate. (akin to the difference between the rate of non-TL exotic drops) (although this is neither confirmed or denied)

You get - what - 15-20 pieces of TL pr. countdown run? Or is it closer to 30, I cannot remember.

If we assume 30 pieces of TL pr. countdown, average a countdown run to take 15 minutes, you get:
after 237 pieces of TL 51,6% of players should have Coyote's Mask | 8 runs, 120 minutes
after 756 pieces of TL 90,19% of players should have Coyote's Mask | 26 runs, 390 minutes
after 1512 pieces of TL 99,04% of players should have Coyote's Mask | 51 runs, 765 minutes
Every 2-3 runs you can buy an Exotic Cache, which would reduce the overall time spent.

[cyan dust]

what gun is dis?

[rugged stratus]

Rock n roll. Dz exclusive

Acs 12 does the same job. And also isnt currently bugged. (RNR loses 10 rounds on weapon swap, basically making it a no talent acs12)

[cyan dust]

wym so io cant get it?

[cyan dust]

i got it first try

[rugged stratus]

It drops in darkzone
Sometimes drops from named caches

[cyan dust]

whats da?

[static trout]

Congratz - but you got lucky, my point still stands.

[rugged stratus]

That the nice thing about rng. It doesnt always follow the rules 🤓

[cyan dust]

whats da?

[static trout]

Exactly - what I said but much better formulated ^^ spank you

[rugged stratus]

Just a typo . Darkzone

[cyan dust]

never done that so the only way i can get it is form named caches?

i need both of these

[static trout]

You don't need that

[cyan dust]

i want

[rugged stratus]

Oreo is incursion drop only.

[static trout]

Have you even gotten this together yet? Ignore the shotgun for now.

[rugged stratus]

You may find rock n roll on sale at the countdown vendor, but with the current ammo bug rock n roll is basically a trash version of a regular acs12

[cyan dust]

oh alr my friend told me he got the shotgun form countdown

with targeted shotgun

[cyan dust]

yea

[rugged stratus]

You can buy named caches from cd. It didnt drop rock n roll tho. 100%

[cyan dust]

wym?

[cyan dust]

so it wont drop with targeted?

[rugged stratus]

No

They are both locked items

[cyan dust]

so how did my friend get it

[cyan dust]

wym

[rugged stratus]

Idk. Ask him to tell the truth

[cyan dust]

hes new to maybe hes talking abt the ac12?

[static trout]

You're mixing up:
ACS-12, Rock n Roll and Lefty - they're all the same shotgun, two of them are named.

[cyan dust]

so whats the dif?

[misty harbor]

if you are leader on countdown as who started it can you kick anyone who is afk or is it like vote to remove?

[static trout]

leader = full control

[cyan dust]

whats the dif between them?

[rugged stratus]

Locked items are locked to dz/incursion/raid.
I suggest looking up "how to unlock item name" on youtube. Itll give a breakdown of the process to unlock or where it can drop. Itll be much more helpful I think

[static trout]

Two things.
1: Read the evernote with the striker's build again.
2: Can recommend looking in the spreadsheet for the different weapons as you can read about them there.

[cyan dust]

and what 1 is it?

alr whta whats the dif between the shotguns if there all the same?

[nimble spruce]

rock and roll and lefty have fixed talents

but yeah it's good to go delving into the spreadsheet and learn how to find these details yourself

[static trout]

Named (most of them) and exotic weapons cannot have their talent changed.

[rugged stratus]

Whitedeath?

[static trout]

First picture is from the evernote with the striker's build.
Second picture is from this page in the spreadsheet

[static trout]

I'm trying not to confuse him.

[rugged stratus]

Too late, started out confused 💀 /s

[misty harbor]

the first one is shd level what is the second one? (2790)

[static trout]

Commendation score

[cyan dust]

what is a fixed talent?'

[nimble spruce]

a talent that can't be recalibrated and is unique to that weapon (in almost all cases)

[cyan dust]

so a normal aa12 is fine?

[kind cove]

Why does tidal basin have two encounters with 4 waves of full enemies back to back

[nimble spruce]

^

[leaden condor]

thats a actually a pretty good commendation score for that level 👀

[cedar schooner]

It is supposed to be a hard mission

[kind cove]

Legendary difficulty tidal basin isn’t even fair

They give you 4 waves of enemies with dogs, drones, healers, and heavies without an ammo box

Wasted an hour and a half of my life because the 4 wave encounter went into another encounter immediately after

[pale pier]

what is this?

[cyan dust]

how do i get a acs12 targeted shotup in countdown?

[cedar yacht]

Are you running breadbasket?

[static trout]

shotgun

[cyan dust]

gun

[static trout]

what?

[rugged stratus]

It's related to your weapon talent

[pale pier]

?

[pale pier]

and, what does it do?

[static trout]

What is your weapon talent?

[rugged stratus]

It counts. Depends on the talent. Capacitor for example counts to 40 indicating stack level

[pale pier]

well that is from a scrapped weapon so i do not know

since you responded late

[static trout]

Local responded 5 minutes after your message

[pale pier]

yeah, and by that time, i had already scrapped it

[rugged stratus]

Never late. Free advice requires patience. Especially if not willing to find out for yourself

Gg

[static trout]

Why even ask then

[pale pier]

because i thought someone would know, didnt think i would have to keep the weapon to know whats happening

[rugged stratus]

Now you know it relates to the tLent.. ike my original message stated

[true siren]

a bunch of weapon talents will show up as ui elements near your gun. If you ever have a question about it, check your talents.

[static trout]

I mean, you got a reply within 5 minutes - someone did know 🤨

[pale pier]

this is the response i got at first

[static trout]

Did.... did you have a stroke mid sentence local?

[rugged stratus]

No, just a 1yo trying to type for me

[pale pier]

like how was i supposed to know what that meant? needs more details than, it relates to your weapon talent, because i wasnt even aware of weapon talents until now, i just thought i was funny symbol that makes damage go up

[rugged stratus]

Shoulda been a pretty clear indicator you should look at the weapon talent

[pale pier]

"i wasnt even aware of weapon talents until now, i just thought i was funny symbol that makes damage go up"

[static trout]

Pretty impressive for a 1yo to be fair, kudos

[rugged stratus]

We spoon feed way too much here. It's not really on me to know what you do or dont understand. Life is also busy and I respond when I can.
Start looking at the items and the bonus /attributes / talents.
You can hit #td2-build-advice for a pinned spreadsheet that has an absolute ton of info to learn.

[static trout]

And if you don't even know what weapon talents are... you probably aren't level 30 yet, so enjoy your time enjoy the story.

[pale pier]

i am, just havent known about em

[static trout]

That's kinda impressive on its own. Enjoy the spreadsheet

[fervent canyon]

Not so much a TD2 question, but Ubisoft Remote Play. Has anyone gotten it to work? It will load the game on my PC just fine, and then when it goes to connect to the phone it starts to load, pulls up the on screen controller, then stops and just says failed to connect. I only have TD2 so that’s why I’m asking here first.

[hollow crescent]

Are the new rogue agent outfit coming on Tuesday?

[cyan dust]

first try im lucky td lol

do i needa change my gear?

[static trout]

Gratz

[cyan dust]

ty

so i keep the same gear?

[rugged stratus]

gear looks right. just put a mod in your mask 😉

[pale pier]

stability or accuracy?

[mellow trout]

Handling

[next basin]

Whats the fastest way to get specialization points

[rancid dirge]

Invaded missions/bounties irrc

[rugged stratus]

i responded in #td2-general-chat , but i was actually testing that anyways. this will put a visual
red pattern is 20% in accuracy mods
blue pattern is 35% in stability mods
yellow is 5%handling sight/20% stability muzzle
this weapon pulls up and to the right, zero correction on my part

[cyan dust]

for a stricker bulid do u run crit chance or crit dmg?

and what should these stats be?

[barren maple]

That’s what’s I have on mine

[rugged stratus]

right attributes, just needs to optimize

[rugged stratus]

make sure your crit chance is close to 60%. then dump the rest into chd. dont count on coyote mask mid buff, youll probably proc close buff and that just gives chd

[signal lily]

Who is Danny Weaver, and what are the caches he's selling?
He's underground, near the Castle

[cyan dust]

so like 50 and up ? and chd is crit hit dmg right?

[signal lily]

When someone answers, please ping me

Did someone respond? Thought I got a ping-

[sudden matrix]

lol someone did but then they deleted it maybe?

[inner tendon]

They did,
@signal lily Weaver is a special vendor that appears on the map when you find the snitch, finding the snitch once reveals it for both him+Cassie.
The caches he's selling vary week-to-week, but he sells them for Textiles and there's a limited amount. There's always at least 1 Exotic, but all are from the GE vendor pool.

[signal lily]

Thank you!
What's the GE vendor?

[inner tendon]

When there's a Global Event active, you earn "stars" by completing special challenges and raising your SHD level.
you can spend those "stars" on caches at one of the main bases, the easiest one to find is at the White House (BoO) and its just through the gate on your right, then the first NPC's on your right again.

[signal lily]

Ohhh
Neat

[hard quail]

Yeah, I deleted it because I was scared I answered the question wrong

[frail bluff]

@inner tendon Which channel can i use to see about a lvl 100 summit save, i didnt see a LFG for td2 PC. Thanks!

[next basin]

What is this incursion

[true siren]

do you play on PC? If so, did you mistakenly give yourself the Playstation role?

[frail bluff]

I did thanks hah

[cyan dust]

whats the dif?

[true siren]

The incursion is a 4player (relatively) hard mission, with more mechanics than other missions. You should get a decent DPS build ready and understand the mechanics before you attempt it.

[next basin]

So would a strikers w st elmos engine build be viable

[true siren]

It should work wonders. I'd also suggest looking for a team in one of the LFG discords, either here or the community discord- easier to coordinate the mechanics and builds with people like that, rather than randoms through matchmaking.

[narrow matrix]

Will he have named item caches too on rotation ?

[next basin]

Are the rewards good? Also whats the difference between this and a raid

[true siren]

The reward is a guaranteed exotic at the end, along with new cosmetics and new achievments. Out of the guaranteed exotic, it has a chance to be the Ouroboros, which can only be acquired from this incursion.

The difference between a raid and this mission is raids are 8 players, and this is 4. Otherwise, mechanically it is fairly similar.

[next basin]

Is this exotic any good

[true siren]

its one of the best exotics in the game, currently.

[cyan dust]

what is the dif?

[true siren]

There is no difference. The difference in names came from an old old update, where they were different. They were changed to be functionally identical.

[frigid chasm]

When did the mantis got broken????

[inner tendon]

Around Resolve, maybe the update after.
It's being looked at.

[narrow matrix]

I managed to pull ouroboros and a Scorpio on my first clear this week

In one opening

[strong kiln]

Probably a stupid question but would anyone know why no one ever accepts my backup calls and i never receive backup calls? I'm on World Tier 4 but i never get anyone to join nor do i get calls. I know most players are long past WONY but wouldn't they still get the call as well as others that are in the same world tier? Same with me never getting calls. Is it a glitch/messed up setting? I'm on Series X btw.

[mellow trout]

Not many are in WT4

Like you said most are past WONY

I'm not sure if WONY players still receive backup calls from pre WONY though

[strong kiln]

Probably not, that's my assumption at least. Ah well i only got one more tier then i'm heading for WONY so it's all good!

[mellow trout]

[narrow kraken]

After you finish getting keeners watch on your second character does specializations also transfer over?

[wraith flare]

only the base 3 will have the points

IIRC

[wispy merlin]

@narrow kraken

[narrow kraken]

Holy

[wispy merlin]

this was summit on release

[narrow kraken]

You could also tp to any floor?

[wispy merlin]

the last one unlocked i think

and only each tenth floor

[raw elk]

@narrow kraken

[static trout]

Go into where you equip skills (inventory)

[narrow kraken]

Yep your own inventory

[raw elk]

Here ?

[narrow kraken]

Then click on the turret again

Select artirely

[raw elk]

OMG I am so blind x3

thanks for pointing it out

[narrow kraken]

Dw theres a lot of HUD/UI you need to get used to

Just explore your menus well enough

[raw elk]

thanks and yeah I really need to learn this 😅

[pale pier]

im trying to find a sawed off shotgun or a automatic sidearm, know any places i could go that has a good chance? because ive been playing for roughly 15 hours and only got pistols this run

[nimble spruce]

If you're still in story mode then you can't target loot types, best option is just checking vendors each week. If you're at endgame then target shotguns in countdown.

[pale pier]

im lv 40

also whats countdown?

[nimble spruce]

Matchmake for challenging countdown then, it's a game mode. Set target loot at the pentco power plant north of the dc map, and matchmake from the matchmaking tab or helicopter.

You can also set target loot in summit and it'll be the same in countdown

[pale pier]

also to whoever said that oxidizer wouldnt be good in heroic, why would you ever think i would change to the hardest difficulty? i already have trouble with tanks, and them being even more of a bullet sponge is just gonna be game ending

[nimble spruce]

In countdown just follow your team around and shoot any hostiles, avoid using deployable skills as they get hacked, and grab all the loot

Most people end up in heroic once they've got a decent build and some gamesense, easier difficulties get a bit boring, plus the loot and xp is better in heroic.

[pale pier]

yeah but they told me that it would be useless as if i was going to immediately head straight there from watch level

[nimble spruce]

Tbf it's not that great a skill much of the time because enemies just run straight out of the cloud before it can do much damage. It can be very strong when you know where enemies are going to spawn though and can trap them in their spawn closet

[static trout]

Because with a decent build (striker's is the most referenced) you can jump to heroic more or less instantly.

[static trout]

Oxidizer is niche, there's nothing more to it. If you already feel like you're suffering below heroic, you're gonna suffer even more trying to do heroic with oxidizer

[pale pier]

im not suffering rn with oxidizer

[static trout]

You're having trouble already and going up in difficulty will be worse.

[pale pier]

i said tanks specifically...

[blazing timber]

If you want to play skill build get a mortar build

[pale pier]

whats that?

[mellow trout]

Artillery turret

Oxi generally isn't worth running

[blazing timber]

Mortar Build

Perfect for heroic content

[static trout]

From the description though, it suffers the same issue an oxi build would - gotta know spawns

[blazing timber]

Don't have the situational reliability of oxis but oxis are amazing only
-> You know the spawn
-> well coordinated and timming

[blazing timber]

It doesn't tbh

[static trout]

Just thought it would be important to mention, since the Evernote has it in there ^^

[blazing timber]

If you can't manage mortar build in open world I am sorry to say that's a skill issue

[static trout]

Brother you wanna throw hands?

[blazing timber]

I am already fast hands

[static trout]

Fast hands doesn't mean you can fight 🤨

[pale pier]

dont wanna use it because it forces me to use the demo specialist

[blazing timber]

I have more sustained dps in fight

Only a spreadsheet guy would understand

[static trout]

In any case, I was referencing what raucey wrote IN THE GUIDE.

[blazing timber]

Ik what raucey says in guide but it isn't be all end all mortar works in open world change my mind gonna tag @plucky hawk to change my mind

Catching spawns is the core part of the game itself for very fast clears

If you are not catching spawns with any build my friend you are doing it wrong

After practice a bit

[pale pier]

in any case, not using it till i get better weapons and armor, because im not heading directly into heroic

[blazing timber]

Just get D50 Determined easy mode

[pale pier]

dude, stop trying to force your favored way to play onto others, im playing the way that gives me fun ok?

[static trout]

I don't know what we're discussing.
aunazune asks about oxidizer the other day, and is being told it's very situational, that you gotta know spawns for it to be very good. Is being told the same today.
You come in, throw a link to a mortar build that almost word by word says the same thing as to why oxi isn't recommended.
Then start teaching me about skill issue, like wth?
It's just important to mention regarding a build

[blazing timber]

Ok no problem play what you want I have no qualms with that GG

[nimble spruce]

Pretty much all advice you get on this server is geared towards progressing faster in the game, killing faster on higher difficulties, etc. If you want to take your time and experiment with less optimal gear and skills, just be aware people will try and talk you out of it.

[static trout]

A build from the spreadsheet is a solid thing to aim for in terms of getting better weapons and armor :3

[pale pier]

i have no idea what any of the things its asking me for is

[pale pier]

and if its easy mode like you are saying, thats gonna get boring

[static trout]

I can recommend first reading the FAQ in the sheets document. Then after pick a build to aim for

[static trout]

#ask-td2-community message

Higher difficulty will get you better stuff in general.

[pale pier]

yeah but im not trying to suffer and go to the hardest difficulty

not to mention i dont play shooters often if at all

versus someone with thousands if not millions of hours in shooter games

[static trout]

What is the point you're trying to make?
If I put you on my account, right now, you can play heroic very easily - because I have a build.
It doesn't take millions of hours to get a build.
There's a spreadsheet in the pinned in #td2-build-advice
Read the FAQ then go to the build section and pick something you like.
Then, your power will come from the thing I linked above.

[pale pier]

i wasnt talking about builds man

[mellow trout]

Heroic takes some getting used to but it's really not that hard

Having a good build vastly accelerates your progress

Like look at my damage statistics compared to the other 2 dps running subpar builds

[blazing timber]

Let me show my mm

[mellow trout]

Bro must've overflowed like 3 times

[blazing timber]

Naa that is this one

[pale pier]

i feel like you are only saying this because you are good

[mellow trout]

I started during Price of Power so relatively late to the party

[tame basin]

I also play as I want. and i ignores meta, because they are boring builds.

[static trout]

Obviously you're the one with negative damage

[mellow trout]

I started from scratch same as you man

Everyone did

[pale pier]

i feel like most people had some sorta history with shooters, me on the other hand, not so much tbh

[mellow trout]

Even if you've played shooters before this is a completely different genre to stuff like call of duty and rainbow six

[static trout]

It doesn't matter.
The game is a looter shooter.
The power in this game comes from builds, not necessarily aim.

It's not like CS where you want 80% Headshot rate if you're rifling.

[sage delta]

headshots alot less fun then weak points with explosives in them

[mellow trout]

Especially with strikers the game is free asf if you have a good build and some experience playing

[pale pier]

the whole reason i avoid that is because it feels too easy, thus boring

[blazing timber]

Use 6pcs 5.11 for true challenge

[pale pier]

i dont want a true challenge either because im not a masochist

[mellow trout]

So it's too difficult to play on heroic but too easy to use a build that will clear it

[pale pier]

how is no one getting that i want a build that has me interacting with the game while it not being too difficult, i dont want it too hard or too easy, thats all i ask

[static trout]

The point of going for something like strikers is because it's easy to put together and will teach you how a build works. Then you can start experiencing heroic difficulty and learn the game, grind for other gear

[mellow trout]

Hunters fury

[pale pier]

elaborate

[mellow trout]

It's a gearset

[pale pier]

what does it do?

[tame basin]

I'm a masochist 💯

[mellow trout]

Amp damage on enemies within a radius

[blazing timber]

It is very strong tbh

[mellow trout]

And free armour/health on kill

[blazing timber]

He need something that is mid

[pale pier]

and how might i obtain it?

[mellow trout]

It is but at least it requires more brainpower than striker

[mellow trout]

Countdown is best

[blazing timber]

Ninjabike bag pack is the best recommendation

[mellow trout]

Heartbreaker

[pale pier]

welp guess im not getting it, dont enjoy pvp because of the 6 times i went into dark zone and got instantly obliterated

[narrow kraken]

HB prob best new player friendly

[mellow trout]

Countdown isn't PVP

Where has bro been farming😭

[pale pier]

then why do people say "matchmaking"?

i only hear that term when it comes to pvp

[mellow trout]

It's an 8 player game mode

[narrow kraken]

PVE

[mellow trout]

You can matchmake for basically any activity in the game regardless of pve or pvp

[pale pier]

where do i even go for that, the map is very crowded at the moment

[mellow trout]

Pentco fairview power plant

Top right of your map

If you don't see the icon it's because you haven't done your DZ recon

[pale pier]

dark zone recon?

[nimble spruce]

Short side missions showing you where the dz entrances are

[static trout]

I kinda wanna see a screenshot of your DC map

[nimble spruce]

They have nothing to do with countdown but for some reason the countdown map icon doesn't appear until they've been completed

You don't actually need the countdown map icon however, as I said a while ago you can get there through the matchmaking tab or the pilot

[pale pier]

never did it but the countdown appears over there

not doing the countdown alone tho, everyone else is offline

[nimble spruce]

Ah, that's at the same site but not actually countdown

[mellow trout]

Generally people matchmake for it on challenging

[static trout]

This would come in handy

[pale pier]

just said im not heading there alone

[mellow trout]

?

[narrow kraken]

Are you new to games overall?

[mellow trout]

^

[pale pier]

no, wdym?

[mellow trout]

^

You neednt ever be alone

[pale pier]

huh?

[mellow trout]

^

[pale pier]

yeah but whenever i have someone backup, its always a way overleveled watch level player and thats annoying since it becomes a walking sim for me and so i dont ever really matchmake for that reason

[narrow kraken]

So you want the game easier but at the same time you dont want to make it easier for yourself to farm gears and get to that level

[mellow trout]

[nimble spruce]

countdown is designed as a co-op group activity, 8 players vs AI enemies, it's fully expected and intended that you run it with randoms

[narrow kraken]

This

That's the whole point of it

[nimble spruce]

and yes, they will kill everything for you, but you're just there to get loot quickly

[mellow trout]

If you want challenging gameplay hit up legendary

If you want loot just go countdown

[narrow kraken]

💀

[mellow trout]

Solo

[narrow kraken]

💀 2x

[mellow trout]

The true division agent experience

[pale pier]

its just i dont like taking the easy way out like that because it just tends to idk, feel like i didnt earn anything ya know

[pale pier]

never said i wanted challenging gameplay

[narrow kraken]

Dw you have a LONG way to get to their level

Your goal in there is to just secure the gears atm

[mellow trout]

I'm so confused here

[pale pier]

i dont think im going to play for 3000 levels tbh

[narrow kraken]

No need to reach that to get good loadouts

[mellow trout]

So you won't matchmake because it's too easy you won't play heroic because it's too hard and you won't use strikers because it's also too easy

[nimble spruce]

well, if you don't want to run countdown then take a look at the target loot system in the open world, hit 'R' with the map open to see what areas/missions have what types of loot targetted, find what you want to farm for and go do stuff in that area. More directives will mean more target loot drops

[mellow trout]

You might like yellow builds tbh

[narrow kraken]

🥹

[narrow kraken]

OMG IT MAKES PERFECT SNESE

Its a yellow build player only on the spot

[nimble spruce]

not all gear types will be targeted somewhere, but it changes each day at random

[pale pier]

whats yellow build?

[narrow kraken]

Skill builds

You do everything but you work from home

[pale pier]

that doesnt explain much

[narrow kraken]

And you can solo with it

[mellow trout]

You invest in skills

[pale pier]

what kinds of skills?

[narrow kraken]

Get a turret get a drone and make them work for you

No aim required

[mellow trout]

What level are you currently

[pale pier]

that is exactly what i dont want

[narrow kraken]

I give up

[pale pier]

the only kind of drone i would use is a healing drone

[narrow kraken]

So you do want to aim?

[pale pier]

you know what, im just gonna stop trying to ask since ive been asking for like 20 minutes now and been getting absolutely nowhere with it

[mellow trout]

We're tryna understand what you want here

[narrow kraken]

Maybe because you're a confusing individual (Normal for new players) and requesting very specific things that makes no sense to anyone else

You want to aim but you dont want to aim
you want it easier but you dont want it easier
you want solo but most contents are in a group for a reason

[pale pier]

i dont want it too easy, ive been saying this over and over, and yet you ignore it and think that

[static trout]

I mean, he did start out with asking for oxidizer build the other day, then brought it up again today, a mortar build was shown, but... yeah anyways

[narrow kraken]

Ok so no group content to farm

[pale pier]

when it becomes too easy, it becomes boring

[mellow trout]

So you seek challenge

[pale pier]

never said i wanted a oxidizer build

[pale pier]

NO

[mellow trout]

?????

[pale pier]

i give up

[nimble spruce]

he seeks a moderate amount of challenge, not too much or too little

[narrow kraken]

Use a spotter heartbreaker + kingbreaker technician laser (Median survivability + Damage)
To farm it look for pool loot on the map and go for it

[mellow trout]

Then play on challenging difficulty with something like heartbreaker

[narrow kraken]

Thats all I can give

[nimble spruce]

I say just farm open world activities solo at whatever difficulty you prefer

[pale pier]

kinda cant, stuck in the manhunt mission

[narrow kraken]

Then after said manhunt mission

Or leave said manhunt mission

[pale pier]

how?

[nimble spruce]

that anderson manhunt mission is a tricky one, don't be afraid to bail and come back once you've got a decent build and better game knowledge

[mellow trout]

Return to DC from your map

There's a prompt somewhere I'm not sure what it is on PC

[nimble spruce]

open map, scroll to edge of map, look for 'return to DC' prompt

[narrow kraken]

Fast travel out

[narrow kraken]

This

[pale pier]

where am i supposed to look for the loot pool?

[static trout]

Okay, we're confusing terms.
There's difficulty and there's challenge. They're correlated, but not synonymous.
It's totally fair if you don't want to run countdown for gear - use the targeted loot system instead. The whole idea of targeted loot was to smoothen the gearing proces.
If you want to learn more about the game in general, hit up the pinned spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice and read the FAQ.
Choose whatever build you want to go for in the sheets after that and start farming it. Before you can "put together your own thing" you need to learn what makes a build work.

[nimble spruce]

^

[pale pier]

so i pressed the targeted loot, and uh, what am i supposed to be looking for? it shows symbols, but i have no idea what these symbols mean

[mellow trout]

They're labelled

When you hover over them

[pale pier]

yeah none of these targeted pools have any sidearms

[nimble spruce]

you wanted a sawn-off shotgun, the Constitution Hall area of DC has shotguns as targeted

so you could just go there and do the little activities (territory controls, hostage rescues etc)

and hope you get one in a drop

[pale pier]

what even is this supposed to be?

[mellow trout]

It's a brand

[pale pier]

still dont know, im clueless about whatever that is

[mellow trout]

Brandsets are sets of gear that have differing bonuses for each piece equipped

Up to 3 bonuses

[rugged stratus]

Pinned spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice has all the info on brands/gear/weapons/talents/builds

[mellow trout]

^

[static trout]

Before you read the FAQ, spend 10 minutes look at your map, what information is given to you in different modes (looking at a mission, looking at an area, looking at a control point, having targeted loot shown) aswell as 10 minutes looking at your gear and weapons.
Look at what things are called.
What type of gear it is (High-End, Gear etc.).
What is the brand, what does a brand do
What is a core/major attribute
What is a secondary/minor attribute
What is a talent

[rugged stratus]

The spreadsheet

[pale pier]

spreadsheets kinda feel crowded, never look at them because they usually hurt my eyes to look at

[rugged stratus]

This is like a division bible. You'll save yourself a ton of time

This tool has a dropdown menu for each gear piece. Some of the brand bonus values and weapon damage numbers are from before project resolve patch went live... but this may be an easier to view tool.
https://mxswat.github.io/mx-division-builds/#/

[narrow kraken]

I think they updated gears, so only weapons arent accurate atm

[rugged stratus]

Oh nice

[static trout]

Pause for a second, don't overload the guy that thinks spreadsheets are headache inducing.

As I recommended.

• Look at map
• Look at inventory
• Read the FAQ

[pale pier]

adhd man, too many choices

[static trout]

I've got ADHD-PI, sooooo

[pale pier]

do you think your adhd invalidates my issues?

[rugged stratus]

I'm kinda in the, who cares boat when it comes to that shit.

Save it for your dr

[static trout]

The issue of looking at your map to learn what it says? Then looking at your inventory to learn what it says?

[rugged stratus]

Book mark the links and go through them when its comvenient

[pale pier]

i have no issue with that

im talking about the spreadsheet and build tool

[static trout]

Yeah, and I'm telling people not to overload you.

• Look at map
• Look at inventory
• Read the FAQ

[rugged stratus]

Dr Rudy here

[mellow trout]

Kandel ain't got nothing on rudy

[static trout]

I hope she doesn't 😳

[pale pier]

so i decided chem thrower (healing) and striker, because i like to deal damage and heal so

what is a skill proxy?

[rugged stratus]

Turrets/drones/decoys/etc. Deployable skills.

[pale pier]

a-

anyways, turns out drones arent too easy, im still struggling to live at times

[rugged stratus]

Good skills for a striker setup will be crusader shield and revive hive
Shield gives you a second to get back into cover, and revive picks you up when an enemy downs you

[pale pier]

yeah unfortunately i need fast heals, so i chose striker and chem thrower healer

[rugged stratus]

Oh striker drone, there is also a gear set called striker.

[pale pier]

whats alert level?

[nimble spruce]

control points can have a difficulty above whatever your world difficulty is, from 1 (Normal) to 4 (Heroic). The difficulty raises whenever you complete a linked activity

so even if your world is Hard and most CPs are alert lvl 2, if you do eg a resource convoy linked to a CP, that one will raise to alert lvl 3 which means the enemies there will be challenging difficulty

[pale pier]

maddisons corp sucks to find

im scratching my head trying to figure out how to go to them

could they maybe make a less confusing map for heartland?

[frozen barn]

i just now got the clan "on line",what do i have to do to get the clan vendor to open up?

[wraith flare]

join a clan

[frozen barn]

dont think you understood the question,i have a clan,it has 4 members,the clan is active,but the clan vendor is locked what do i have to do to unlock it?

[static trout]

Clan level 2

[frozen barn]

ok,thanks

[sage delta]

optimisation cache same mats as for expertise?

or better take recalibration

[rugged stratus]

optimization will have this type of stuff

recal cache

[blazing timber]

another day another good run

[sage delta]

@rugged stratus yeah i can see that, i not sure what used mainly for expertise leveling

[rugged stratus]

opt for adding upgrades at higher levels, youll use field recon data and shd calibrations.
recal not worth, considering you can get all that from your watch really cheap. opt not really worth it either if buying with stars/cd credits.

here is a cost chart they put out right before resolve. note that exp 25 costs arent included

[static trout]

@blazing timber Smack a screenshot in here, wanna see how it looks lol

[blazing timber]

That is the problem there is no look

[static trout]

Same weapon type in both slots?

[blazing timber]

Yeah

[static trout]

Yeah, that's different from the capacitor thing

But, I'll actually write up that bug aswell

I'm feeling in a good mood today

[blazing timber]

Make a good bug report

Cmd C + Cmd V report done

[wooden estuary]

193 kills
niceeeeee

[blazing timber]

Ty

[pale pier]

so what are these two numbers supposed to represent?

[nimble spruce]

season level on left, shd level on right

season level tops out at 100 (and ties to the season reward track), shd level has no cap

[static trout]

All we really know

[regal epoch]

dang, I'm hoping for a UI overhaul. The current one is pretty bad

[static trout]

Okay, that should've uploaded as a picture lol

[regal epoch]

discord is really bad about image types

.avif uploads as a downloadable file
.webp uploads and embeds, but can't be copied without opening in a browser

[static trout]

Yeah, the format f'ed me, just downloaded it from the Web to share

[regal epoch]

I'd love to see the inventory screen get a huge overhaul.
Move the Tinkering Station option up to the Q - E menu
Allow your mouse cursor to "select" things so you can press F to mod without having to use WASD or right click
Change up some stuff like making T the "Tinkering" key and having the Tinkering and Proficiency upgrades available in the weapon modding screen

[static trout]

While I agree - I hope they put that work into Div3 instead.
Talked about it a bit earlier, but hopefully they can allow addons in Division 3 like in WoW (unsure if the snowdrop engine supports it).
Would allow for more customization while taking the work of "what should be customizable" off Massive

[regal epoch]

I think of it like a Destiny thing. There's no reason why they can't just use the same UI from TD2 that they've improved and iterated on.

Who knows how long TD3 could take to develop, so we might as well just get an actually good UI before then that they can re-use

[static trout]

Different development teams at that point tho. They might sit in the same company, but it would be double work.

[regal epoch]

that's a communication issue at that point
plenty of companies have 0 issue doing cross-developmental work

[static trout]

I want them to make the UI - what you see - addonable like in WoW so you could essentially have ElvUI but for Div3

[regal epoch]

look at Digital Extremes producing both Warframe and Soulframe. Soulframe has been working on upgraded lighting systems that were seamlessly added into Warframe becase they actually communicate with one another

[static trout]

There's a difference to UI enhancements (especially the ones you mention) and graphical enhancements that run on the same engine.
Div1 and Div2 UI might look similar, but they're built up differently.

In any case, changes you're talking about and changes I hope for are different.

I want every UI element to be configurable via code, allowing me to change to size of crits, hide normal hits, different font on immune, move map to the left but have objectives somewhere else, like shizzle like that

[regal epoch]

Oh yeah, stuff like UI design is far different from adding ray-tracing as a lighting option lol
I definitely don't expect that. What I do expect are for teams to communicate on how a UI is laid out

[pale pier]

what does "agent charge down" mean? issac keeps saying it

[static trout]

The thing is, this isn't a huge overhaul, what you're mentioning are small changes.
I'm talking stuff like, sure you can move UI HUD elements around, but the minimap + objectives are still connected. You can't change font or font size of things.
A huge overhaul would allow that.
What you're talking about falls under QoL, which could be implemented before div3.
What I'm talking about shouldn't be implemented for div2, because it would take too much time

[static trout]

That's in relation to the global event, the red buff you get when in combat. When the bar is full, you have to make a cover to cover move to remove your agent charge, which will make you take less damage and do more damage to affected enemies

[pale pier]

uh, how do i do a cover to cover?

[wispy merlin]

sit in cover, look at another cover spot, hold cover button

[rugged stratus]

Definitely not spam 🙄

[cunning mauve]

Does anyone know about cross progression between ps5 and PC ?

[oblique halo]

Nah, no cross progression between two different platforms.

[rugged stratus]

Doesnt exist

[cunning mauve]

Thanks mates. So I will continue on PC.

[oblique halo]

👍

[sudden snow]

is there any way to make enemy health bar UI size as small as the first year launch? Tbh, my eyes can't catch something larger as the current one

[static trout]

Sadly no

[terse cairn]

no maintenances tomorrow ?

[cedar yacht]

no announcement for it

[remote elbow]

How does the SR-1 perform at 40 now? At 30 a perfect m700 carbon (full mmr dmg, full headshot, full toc. determined) does less damage than an imperfect SR-1 (full mmr dmg, 62 of 81 headshot dmg, 5 of 6.5% crit chance, determined)

[narrow matrix]

You talking about level 30 vs level 40?

[stray yarrow]

so the incurssion resets every week

for the chest

[cedar yacht]

Yeah

[remote elbow]

@narrow matrix ya

[narrow matrix]

I can’t speak on its damage but ik people prefer SRS and M700 carbon

[ember rain]

Anyone wanna run Legendary mission need 2

Ps5

[slim elk]

Go to LFG channel please.

[ember rain]

My bad

[wooden marsh]

can you get premium credit playing the game?

somehow got 200

[digital roost]

I’m pretty sure you every account has 200 on it to begin with I don’t think you can gain them though gameplay as it’s a paid add on

[south island]

the preium credit are only thru a paid add on while textiles are essentially duplicates that you can get from the apparel crates

[mellow trout]

You get a handful after rescuing Ellis iirc

[hearty storm]

I was playing division 2 and I got 200 premium credits through reaching lvl 15

pretty sure it happends only once for new players

[iron plover]

when you merge a new character with the main one this things happens

note that the last 2 brand sets added to the game (Lengmo and Palisade) have no cap limit

[rugged stratus]

Is this a flex, if so it's a weird one.
I guess I'll always be at stock caps for my mats. I've never needed to run wony past my 3 alts. I couldn't even burn through the shd I currently have across my 4 agents.

[iron plover]

it's not flex, just showing the weird things that happen in the game 👍

[iron plover]

and SHD points are never enough 😉

[rugged stratus]

What would you spend 50k shd on?

[iron plover]

expertise? upgrades? optimizations?

[rugged stratus]

Believe me, it's enough 🍻

I'm maxed out on expertise and optimizing.
Like I said, nothing to spend it on

[iron plover]

when you make new builds almost every week trust me it's not enough 👍

[rugged stratus]

Sure.

[iron plover]

I'm sick of METAs and BiSes, I'm always try new things

we talk again when next expertise level arrives, for me it will take a few minutes to complete, while others will run out of materials and resources, so they will have to spend hours/days/weeks to reach the new level 👍

then they'll learn why SHD points are important

[blazing timber]

Bruh you have 30k+ shd

[static trout]

Anyone experienced this - cannot open the vendor

[blazing timber]

New features?

[static trout]

Pass. Could interact with him last week, so have no clue what's blocking this week.

[iron plover]

go a little bit to the right, there you can interact with him, as you do after complete WONY campaign

it happens from time to time, no reason

[static trout]

lol, so odd, never had that before, but yeah, could "talk to benitez" to the right, out of frame but there's no actual talk lol

[devout mountain]

Have you tried talking to hi@ first?

Oh it scrolled

my message got blocked

[blazing timber]

They are watching you

[mellow trout]

Meanwhile:

[devout mountain]

“Won’t fix” -Trello probably

imagine

[static trout]

You can't talk to him where he as, you gotta move to the right and talk to air

[patent vigil]

older man under stress, he don't quite remember where he is to talk to.

have some feelings.

[wooden marsh]

can you longer walk like in d1?

[civic lily]

man why this mission only and not the other missions

ubisoft/massive try to make classified missions worth the money challenge(impossible)

[mellow trout]

I did nightclub the other day and couldn't change it wtf

[atomic coral]

Unless its on a weekly rotation

Since the classified missions originally are weekly right?

[mellow trout]

I adore some of the classified missions why wont they just reuse the locations ffs

[mellow trout]

theyre all available but can only be done once per reset for some ungodly reason

[atomic coral]

Wild

[civic lily]

maybe when it resets it will allow u to go on heroic assuming it works like other missions

there's no other explanation for why only my nightclub allowed me to change difficulty

[mellow trout]

is there even a valid reason for there not officially being difficulty for them

[nimble spruce]

You can do one of them more than once per week due to a glitch (unless Resolve fixed it, haven't checked), but only in weeks when Kenly isn't open.

Basically just fast travel from NY to Kenly and it'll put you in the last classified mission you visited and let you run it again.

[mellow trout]

you can travel to kenly when it's not open?

[nimble spruce]

You can try

[mellow trout]

time to replay nightclub

[nimble spruce]

Won't work this week obv

I still need to test it on a character who has never unlocked any of the classifieds to see where they end up

[scenic wadi]

I found the iron lung from a exo box. But I can’t recraft it because she doesn’t want me to sell the recipe? Is this a bug?

[atomic coral]

Yep

[white vector]

is it normal that the manhunt is at 47 % after doing the second step today ?

[scenic wadi]

How do I fix it?

[inner tendon]

@white vector Likely just a visual bug, happened last season too.

[atomic coral]

The percentage was weird on the first step so yeah

[atomic coral]

Hopefully a visual bug

[white vector]

ah ok, i'll see at the end then

i did get the 5 comms, so i guess im good

[atomic coral]

Lmao the fuck

Waiting in queue

Given it was for a second but I've never seen that

[nimble spruce]

Just have to wait until they make the blueprint purchasable. Vindicator and Collector have the same problem.

[weak magnet]

Hi, do you guys know what to do here, after activating the thing in the computer I’m stuck here, any idea? Fast traveling is not working

[rugged stratus]

Fast travel somewhere other than that mission but close. Then walk over and restart the mission

[weak magnet]

Damn so I gotta do it all over again :0

[rugged stratus]

I've seen soft locks on a few missions like this, or after rogue encounters mid mission

[rugged stratus]

If it wont trigger next phase on mission it gonna be a restart

[inner tendon]

Actually this bug hit me last week during DUA, no rogues in sight.
the 2nd floor door just wouldn't open if I was in a group with anyone else.

tested it twice, different group, restarted the PC in between

[rugged stratus]

Had it in tidal a few times as well at the 1st antiviral warhound

[inner tendon]

At first I thought it was the GE, but even without it active, no door.

[atomic coral]

I feel that pain

Space administration is a long mission

[weak magnet]

Plus im doing it on level 9, you can get an idea how painful it is

[atomic coral]

Oh you poor fuck

[weak magnet]

Well it sucks it happened again

Restarted the mission and it got stuck at the same location haha

[nimble spruce]

there's two stages of interacting with computers there, one rougly in the middle and one in the far corner. It's also possible an add has got stuck outside the playable area, you can use pulse to check and probably oxidiser to kill them (if you have those skills unlocked yet)

[weak magnet]

It’s happening when I died and have to reactivate the first computer for the rotation. I used the pulse and no threats detected.

[nimble spruce]

might have quit mission, log off and on again for proper restart

then, y'know, try not to die 🙂

[fallow inlet]

Hey Local

[spare steppe]

I have been wondering, everytime i pick up a decoy or a trap mod from the ground, it never shows up in my backpack. is that a bug or am i missing smth lol

[rugged stratus]

Good afternoon Saph

[rugged stratus]

There is supposed to be a game mechanic now that deconstructs repeat skill mods. Supposed to leave the highest roll in inventory. It's supposed to reduce the need to manage skill mod inventory since they dont stack like gear mods.
I'm not 💯 if it's actually implemented, but it's supposed to have gone into effect.

[spare steppe]

weird because. i can still pick up like normal repeat skill mods with much lower level, oh well /shrug
thanks for the response tho :D

[stiff parcel]

anyone had problem with the game being low color its like black and white colors ?

[static trout]

HDR?

[stiff parcel]

i think its of

[shut cloak]

so i just finished the lvl 30 main mission and got my specialization, what should i do next?

also i got all perks max and im using the skills i like, should i just spend the shds unlocking every other skill or do i save them for smt?

[near canyon]

hey guys, (brace yourselfes, long text imcoming xD ) i have this mission that i have to kill Basilisk on roosevelt island by breaking his armor first, the thing is i tried for like 5 times in a row now without success, what i'm doing wrong? i even tried with a weapon that have low damage and aimed for the arms and legs, anyone have an advice on how to do thjis mission?

[atomic coral]

Do whatever you want

The general idea is that you want to clear the 3 strongholds

So you advance world tiers and can get better gear

So I'd say do the 3 invaded missions that are locking a single stronghold

[atomic coral]

Either use the oxidiser chem launcher skill or a pistol

Id recommend the oxidiser as it damages all armour at once

[near canyon]

oxidizer + smg will do? i really hate pistols xD

[static trout]

Generally, if you wanna make sure his armor is gone, have the pulse on

[atomic coral]

Pistol is generally better since you have more control

[static trout]

(so you can see it)

[atomic coral]

^

I did the slow route of bulwark + pistol with no red cores

[shut cloak]

thx! got it

[atomic coral]

No problem

[rugged stratus]

I worked on this with an agent the other day. Use bulwark shield to blunt his hammer attack + oxi.
The oxi worked perfect because it didnt even start eating into the health until all the armor was gone.
Pistol method works but you risk killing him before the armor is gone.

[valid bronze]

How do you start dodge city project again

Move DCH to another character and then what?

[near canyon]

i just tried pistol + oxi without success , i think the problem is my build that is totally based on critical damage + weapon damage, i will try to make one based on status effect, maybe that will work

[rugged stratus]

Oxi is skill damage. Probably just need a few skilltiers.
Did you let the oxi do all the work or were you shooting too

[near canyon]

i was aiming to the arms+legs with the pistol

i was doing like 170k dmg with the bereta b93

🙄

[raw elk]

This is the view of my current map and i don't have any quest related to Black Tusk except the two strongholds to the left are the ones I need to clear from them. Is this all I have to do to close the chapter of invasion?

[rugged stratus]

Check the pinned messages for this channel. There is one about world tier progression

[raw elk]

Thank you ^^

[shut cloak]

is the boost to 30 available to all my characters or just once?

im finishing dc, what i was thinking is to get to ny naturally then boost a second character just to get the stuff, is that a good plan?

[mellow trout]

All

[mellow trout]

That's what a lot tend to do, good plan

[pale pier]

how do i even

[rugged stratus]

run a mission on hard, equip a riot foam chem launcher, use it to stick npcs that are close in place. drop a nade on the stuck npcs. repeat as needed

[opal remnant]

How can i get the enforcer shotgun?

[static trout]

Uuhhh, anyone doing a WONY run rn? If you are, could you be a darling and screenshot all the target data of the 5 rogue agents. (Biography menu thingy)
I'll pay you in... uhm... cookies!

[rugged stratus]

Grand Washington Hotel is invaded this week
Perfect week to start the Nemesis project.
After you get the tidal basin piece , change mode for manning zoo to invaded and complete again. with 2 pieces in hand set GWH back to invaded and the blueprint will drop. Nemesis can be farmed from MMR TL after that regardless of project completion.

[shut cloak]

theres no downside to creating a second character and boosting it while i go through dc in my main right

[kind cove]

Whats the talent on Liberty

[inner tendon]

Hits grant +2% weapon damage. Stacks up to 30.
Headshots consume all stacks, repairing your shield for 3% per stack."```

[rugged stratus]

yeah, no downside. youll get 150 extra storage and more projects 👍

[wooden marsh]

what is skill repair

[narrow matrix]

Skill repair or repair skills?

[wooden marsh]

skill repair

[narrow matrix]

I’ve not heard of it honestly

[wooden marsh]

sec

while at full armor, increase total skill repair by 40%

[narrow matrix]

It’s repair skills

[cedar yacht]

Its the same as repair skill

Safeguard is not worth using

[wooden marsh]

ah

thought it was different wording for skill haste

[mellow trout]

#lfg-xbox

[shut cloak]

should i wait till im max lvl and getting max rolls to extract attributes?

[narrow matrix]

No you can do it at any time

[mellow trout]

What level are you currently

Pre level 40 dont bother

[shut cloak]

just got to ny, 30

[mellow trout]

Yeah in that case wait till after New York

[shut cloak]

im extracting the talents and skill only cause theire fixed

if im not mistaken

[mellow trout]

Fixed yes but they wont be able to be applied to any level 40 gear so its kinda pointless

[shut cloak]

oh i didnt know that. wasted some gear i should have dismantled then

[next basin]

Wtvr happened to heartland

[kind cove]

We don’t know

Because redstorm refuses to talk about it at all apparently

Its not cancelled, its like 80% done at least

[edgy stone]

Any1 know best way to level specializations really fast?

[inner tendon]

Each SHD level gained with them active will give you a point, and also certain bounties/projects/invaded missions will give you a specific amount as well>

So just do anything that has your Spec Tree icon on it.

[upbeat imp]

any reason why danny weaver has the "no items available"? even though I haven't bought from him since last week

[inner tendon]

Try re-logging, if that doesn't work might be a general bug so then check if it's in the trello (which is 📌 pinned over in #unofficial-troubleshooting )

[nimble spruce]

You can extract from lvl 31 gear upwards to fill the lvl 40 recalibration library, it's just that lvl 30 and below has a separate library.

Danny reset is Mondays

[upbeat imp]

I haven't bought anything from him in probably like 11 days

[pine magnet]

What did they put a salesman (Danny Weaver) who has nothing to sell to do? I'd really like to hear from the Brains at UBISOFT

[true siren]

Danny Weaver has a schedule. As far as i'm aware, if you find him while his shop is closed, he will appear empty.

[iron plover]

Ubisoft is just the publisher for the game, you have to ask the brains at Massive who is the developer

[pine magnet]

Danny reset is Mondays but today is open without goods. The last time I bought it was 4 openings ago so today it should have had cases but instead it has no cases. It's buggy

[pine magnet]

Ok Massive

[raw elk]

I am confused i am currently doing the priority mission after I hit world Tier 4 with black tusk it said i needed to leave the mission area and now i can't find the rest of the mission 😅 The game says it is in progress and i don't know where to go to finish it

[nimble spruce]

Is that the side mission where you go down a bunker next to the white house? Should have a red mission marker on the map

[raw elk]

Yes it is @nimble spruce but i went there and now i have nothing to go on 😅

[nimble spruce]

Did you go down the lift, activate the computer and watch the echo?

[raw elk]

yes I did

i might have missed something in the dialogue or something ?

[nimble spruce]

Then your next task should be the tidal basin stronghold down in West Potomac park

[raw elk]

ok i will do that then

thanks

[static trout]

@narrow matrix Nobody wanted cookies, so I'm heading to WONY now

Laughing a bit, in the first building in WONY, eclipse center hall, one Riker says to another "Keep your fucking mask on" and the other says "But I can't breathe in this thing" and it just.... made me chuckle because of a certain situation a few years ago

[atomic coral]

Yeah I remember that

(Ran through wony 2 days ago)

[static trout]

Added them all now!

[kind cove]

Its called a bug

Something msv hasn’t got the hang of fixing

[static trout]

Is Andrestia not guaranteed from the box in TB?

[wispy merlin]

it should be if you don't have any trace of nemesis or the components

on your current character

[nimble spruce]

It's guaranteed if you meet the requirements (no nemesis or scope in stash or inventory) and not on story difficulty

[static trout]

Aaaah, yeah, got the nemmy on me

[nimble spruce]

If you're trying to farm an Adrestia to actually use, remember you can't recalibrate them.

[static trout]

I just wanted to have it on me tbh, but I dunno if I cba to rerun tb lol

No matter what I can't do it on this character, got components aswell urgh

[elfin chasm]

did they break the ingame leaderboard or smth? wanted to see how far my iron horse record got pushed down and i dont seem to even be able to find my entry at all

[nimble spruce]

they cleared a bunch of leaderboards with this season since they rebalanced so much stuff

[elfin chasm]

hmm? so they do seasonal leaderboard wipes now?

thats a shame D:

altho it seems hfc's old record is still there unless they re-set it again this season

[nimble spruce]

Not a seasonal wipe, a one-off 'project resolve' wipe, and it only affected some leaderboards afaik

[elfin chasm]

im refering to the time completion leaderboard for iron horse

i used to speedrun and was top 15 at the time the record was set

[nimble spruce]

at least, that's what they said in the livestream, I haven't seen much comment from people who actually pay attention to these things

[elfin chasm]

was just curious to see how much better people have gotten since 2020/2021

[wispy merlin]

it seems only new entries that beat the old times will be shown on the leaderboard now

[nimble spruce]

lots of power creep since then with new gear, and discovery of new tactics

[elfin chasm]

seems my entry is gone.. cuz the jump to me button is greyed out and i cant scroll the leaderboard

[elfin chasm]

oh im aware the current world record is sub 15 mins

im just curious how many people managed to go sub 20 because at the time the world record was 19:58 or smth

my own record is like 21 mins

[elfin chasm]

weirdly enough this isnt on the leaderboard either

[rugged stratus]

I think when leader board were wiped it still retained the info, so an agent would have to beat their previous time to reappear on the leaderboards again.

[coarse gulch]

Can anyone say do i find raven in national zoo story or stronghold misson ??

[bold fulcrum]

How tall are the SHD agents here? Cause I actually am curious cause from what I learned you gotta be like either 5'11 or higher to be in the army here and now in wondering if it also applies here too

[coarse gulch]

Is there any fix for how to complete for technician misson to destroy raven ammo pouches i done it few times it dosent count at all

[hollow badger]

so i redownloaded the game and im level one again???

Havent played the game in a really long time so i dont know what happened i still have my gear and everything

[nimble spruce]

Didn't they do an xp rollback way back when there was that mounted gun damage glitch? Might it be related to that?

[uneven ridge]

Hey how do you guys get the gold DZ South backpack trophy?

[static trout]

Did you stop playing right after finishing the WONY campaign?

[shut cloak]

the total damage displayed is per shot right, meaning youd have to multiply it by the rpm to accuratelly compare diffrent weapons?

[hollow badger]

Yeah i played when it came out and finished it and stopped

[static trout]

There's a bit more to it, but that's a rudimentary way of looking at it!

[static trout]

SHD level is "paragon" levels. You hit level 40, finished WONY and unlocked SHD levels - then you stopped. You're right where you left off my friend.

[hollow badger]

Ah ok so its like diablo you hit level max level and then you can start leveling up to like 5000 in paragon i see

I need to find some gaming buddies for this Game thats one reason i quit after finishing the story

[static trout]

Yes siree! It goes infinite, but you only gain a bit of stats till lvl 1000 - between 1-2000 you gain a bit of HP, after that it's material - but you got a bit of ways before worrying about that

[hollow badger]

Sir yes sir

Affirmative

[static trout]

And for good measure I will link this:
#ask-td2-community message

Seeing as you just came back, check out the pinned spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice read the FAQ and pick a build you wanna go for. Then get to grinding.
Can't help you much gaming buddies wise, I enjoy div2 mostly solo, but there's a ton of people on here

[hollow badger]

Yeah i like playing while talking with someone or playing with someone

[static trout]

That's totally fair - I'm like that with CS, but div2 I just wanna kick back and grind

[hollow badger]

Cs is fun too

[static trout]

There's sadly no longer voice channels on this server (something something lawyer GDPR ToS), but there's two Discord servers worth checking out. GCROCK and the community division server. Lots of activity, banter in voice channels and stuff. Ask around in here for a link in the DM, I sadly cannot help - not a member anymore

[hollow badger]

Can anyone dm me a link to GCROCK and the division community discord server thank you in advance

[zenith fable]

You can find GCROCK link in his youtube channel, if that helps

[shut cloak]

how do i get spec points?

im in ny already

[patent vigil]

are you level 40?

[shut cloak]

no i just begun

[patent vigil]

so level 30?

you need to level to 40. you will get the specialization spec points along the way and then at end game by doing the spec track unless you bought it.

[shut cloak]

i got them all unlocked for buying the ultimate and boosting, so i just play through the game wearing the one i want the points in?

[patent vigil]

yes

[rugged stratus]

invaded missions, daily bounties will have extra points attached. then just leveling

[charred nebula]

How to get the shd tech in the sewer in Civic Center by the University

[next basin]

So is the incursion chest delay based on like the weekly projects or is it based on when you did it. Like if i did it yesterday would i be able to open it again in a week or when the weekly shi gets reset

[valid bronze]

How do you restart dodge city project if you already finished it? Move it to another character and then what?

[normal sparrow]

is it only me having this problem? danny weaver wont sell me anything

[next basin]

Is there a glitch where the resource convoy reinforcements are infinite. I just had more arrive 6 times in one convoy and ended up dying

[valid bronze]

Yes

[next basin]

I hate it

[blazing timber]

Yeah than simply farm the materials again

[blazing timber]

Free xp

I once got extra 100-150k XP from it

[valid bronze]

Didn't work lol

[blazing timber]

Rip

You moved it to stash or alt ? @valid bronze

[valid bronze]

Alt character

Project didn't restart, tried to run gas station CP and no part dropped

Guess I got to get one randomly or farm one at lvl 30

[blazing timber]

Well if you are going to lvl30 you can simply buy the blueprint at lvl30 and when you get boosted to lvl40 you get all the parts

[valid bronze]

True

Then I have to do lvl 30 run with no dodge tho lol

[blazing timber]

You can just take 1 boost to lvl30 farm credits buy blueprint than boost to wony there you go

Since now you have gotten the materials you can go to a lvl 40 character and craft it at lvl40

Just something I thought

[sour mortar]

wtf they have Outcast alike skin in cod and i didnt even know about

[inner tendon]

That's an Outcast skin if it was made by the DoA devs.

[kind cove]

Not seeing it

[sour mortar]

lol

[kind cove]

Thats one helluva stretch ima be real

[inner tendon]

It's the belt that looks-a-little-but-not-really like that hazard tape.

[sour mortar]

it just reminds me of them due to the outfit ith gas mask

[prisma meadow]

Is there powerleveling in TD2? What would be the quickest way to go from 30 to 40?

[sour mortar]

if someone speedrun the story with you yea

as in lvl 40 carrying the person

[inner tendon]

Yeah the tricky thing is that you need to complete the missions and reach Lvl 40 before you're allowed to finish the WONY campaign, so just doing whatever you see is pretty much it.

that includes "side missions" by the way.

[prisma meadow]

Oh gotcha, so basically have to do the story.

[sour mortar]

basically story of wony and side missions along the way

[inner tendon]

The game gives you the Projects during the WONY campaign specifically for this reason, so you remember to do side activities.

gl Agent

[prisma meadow]

Appreciate it

[rain thorn]

Everyone complains about Basilisk's armor being the lamest research project. I thought so too until I ran across Firewall Stage 4 project "That's Just Mean" . You have to salute a burning enemy then kill them. Either the burning effect kills them before I can salute and do it myself (reds) or they quit burning before I can bring them down (purples and yellows). Any tips to make this easier? Right now it is just a PITA. Been using the flammable cloud chem launcher to set them ablaze, but is there a better approach?

[civic lily]

Iron lung

higher skill tier chem and sticky

[cedar yacht]

Just make a ep fire build and go into a cp. Airburst seeker also has the highest fire duration and the weapon talent Perpetuation increase duration and damage by 50% when proc.

[raw elk]

If i do the agent Edwards mission to unlock the manhunts before I start WONY will that have an impact on me doing missions and free roam content?

[narrow matrix]

Is iron lung in loot pool? I’ve been having trouble finding it

[mellow trout]

Edwards doesn't unlock manhunts

[static trout]

It will have no impact at all.
Edwards doesn't unlock Manhunts (that's a seasonal thing, your first Manhunt is WONY) - Edwards unlocks the Hunters in DC and New York, but you will not "accidentally stumble" upon them - they have a very specific way of getting spawned.
TL;DR, do mission, go WONY, don't overthink it.

[raw elk]

oh ok thanks 😄

[static trout]

ammo

[blazing timber]

You need bleed ammo for this you need to get the ammo either with ongoing directive or get it from an ammo box

[static trout]

(not that I personally get why you would even bother - jump into WONY!)

[raw elk]

because i was looking into this tab yesterday and I discovered i did so much xD

[static trout]

And you'll do a ton more by just playing :3

[raw elk]

fair

😄

[static trout]

I have a Commendation Score of 2915 and I have never once actively targeted them.

[blazing timber]

I have a score of 5500 and I never did a single one

[static trout]

Exactly my point, yeah. Ofcourse you can focus them, but I wouldn't bother till lvl 40 anyways - unless you're gonna remain at lvl 30

[glossy junco]

What’s the best way to farm field recon data ? Atm I buy the opti chests from countdown coins

[static trout]

CP4 - or if you're high SHD, SHD farming

Can be combined

[glossy junco]

Cp 4 drops how many ?

[mellow trout]

4 I believe

[narrow matrix]

Go to boss floor in summit - clear the floor but don’t advance

Wipe with grenade

On heroic you get 4 FRD per clear

[glossy junco]

Ok Countdown chest is 5 but faster to clear is a cp

[narrow matrix]

That’s shd calibration

That’s more difficult to get

[glossy junco]

Nope

[mellow trout]

Countdown doesn't give FRD

[glossy junco]

Chest cost 145 coins

[mellow trout]

That's awfully inefficient

[narrow matrix]

You use less shd calibration than you do field recon data but shd calibration is harder to get

Now with weekly projects it’s kind of easier + countdown but countdown is the best way to get that outside of watch muling

[mellow trout]

Best way is cp4 or what arrow mentioned

[glossy junco]

Ok

So I Need a group to grind faster I don’t like to play solo 😂

[narrow matrix]

Countdown challenging generally doesn’t need a coordinated group you can play with randoms but you’ll probably have to do all the objectives yourself cause they are staring at the wall

Also to get 5 shd calibration you need to open all the black boxes

Orange box is only 3

[glossy junco]

Frd is what I need 😂😂 shd is maxed out 😂

[static trout]

FRD: Heroic 4D/5D CP4 will give you 4 FRD + 2FRD from the SHD level you gain.

[narrow matrix]

Then the fastest way is the summit floor method, if you advance however you lose the boss floor

But rudolphs method is a good way to think about it as well

[static trout]

I usually just craft them if I need them.
Especially if there's a GE active

[narrow matrix]

Those 3 resources are the end of me I’ve been running low on ceramics and steel every time I do anything 🤣

[devout mountain]

me crafting these rn 😔+5% HSD here I come

[static trout]

Summit xp is just low in comparison.
CP4 5D = 812K XP
7x CP4 5D = 8 levels -> 44 FRD in, what, 30 minutes?

(that's assuming you only have 1 character at 40 aswell)

[atomic coral]

Same

[small bronze]

If you merge character resources and go beyond 9999, say 29999. Does all further resources picked up past this limit when deconstructing goes to oblivion and not get added?

[narrow matrix]

Si

[rugged stratus]

Bad purchase.
Field recon data drops from clearing control points.
Use scavenging points for shd calibrations.
Save the cd credits for exo components or named caches is farming dz exclusives

[narrow matrix]

Oh you only get the xp once it’s mostly just for farming loot and getting consistent waves

But the additional directives is what helps with the loot… u get 4 FRD per clear tho and can get your summit project in

[rugged stratus]

F10 farming I'm guessing..

[narrow matrix]

Pretty much

Just can’t go back to lobby anymore

[rugged stratus]

It's not a bad method to grind FRD. Especially if you get it down to the 30-45 second clear time. Was great when xp was not nerfed

One nice thing, never have to lobby now with tinkering

[narrow matrix]

Yes that’s cool

It’s nice for countdown as well

[rugged stratus]

I havent used it since nerf. Does it still drop loot each clear without leaving 1 alive

[narrow matrix]

You only get boss loot once now

You get loot from the ads yes but primarily the targeted loot from directives

The directives that are possible to run from what I did yesterday

Cool skills (drop a hive so you can just keep running your shield)

Ammo hoarders, the other usuals… I’m not sure about pistolero if you get your ammo back in death with ammo hoarders you do

But once you kill that last ad the first time your checkpoint gets moved to the next floor

So it’s kind of a one sitting thing now

As far as I can tell strikers focus is the best way to clear quickly but with fragile armor I was running umbra

[hollow badger]

Anyone know a good beginner build to grind for loot

[rugged stratus]

We used to just eclipse solo, or eclipse/oxi as duo

[narrow matrix]

I’d go with umbra, negotiators or strikers

[hollow badger]

It easy to get

What i gotta do for umbra

[rugged stratus]

Could run all dir except for coolskills/scavenged skills.
I would leave ragers off to keep health pools lower tho

[narrow matrix]

Go in cover for 5 seconds, heals you, gives you stacks which increase rpm by 30% and gives you double your crit damage

I think if you move you don’t lose your stacks as fast, it’s a run and gun build

[narrow matrix]

That’s a good idea, I don’t have eclipse on my 2nd character tho unfortunately

[rugged stratus]

Easy craft. It's always god rolled 💯

[hollow badger]

Whats good mission to do for umbra drops

[rugged stratus]

That method tho if you got dogs or a bunch of shields, it was just faster to wipe

[narrow matrix]

Right now just play in the White House area

Do activities, control points etc

[narrow matrix]

Oh I don’t have space lool

[rugged stratus]

Fair

[narrow matrix]

I’m tryna get the iron lung but it won’t drop idk if it’s in loot pool

I just wanna get the expertise library over with 🥲

[rugged stratus]

It should be. I've had it drop as completion reward and from exo caches. I dont remember a specific npc drop but I'm sure it's in the pool

[narrow matrix]

I don’t have it from previous seasons tho unfortunately

[rugged stratus]

it shouldnt matter.

more Lootcifer sacrifices needed 🔥 😈 🔥

[static trout]

If you have 4 characters @ 40, FRD/hr:
Let's say 14x CP4 in an hour (can probably go faster):
14x4 FRD from the clears: 56 FRD
4 characters x16 SHD x 2 FRD/SHD = 128 FRD
184 FRD/hr or a little over 3 FRD/minute.
And CP4 is pretty nifty for targeted loot aswell

[glossy junco]

Well I have only one char 😂😂

[rain thorn]

Thanks for the fire build tip. I'll give it a shot.

[rugged stratus]

It's much faster taking FRD direct from the watch... 100 FRD/second that way 🤓

[rugged stratus]

but just for the record.
a single agent on f10 strictly for FRD can run it on challenging with 0 directives and still pull 180-240 FRD in an hour. this is assuming 45s-1min per clear. personal experience lets me know it can actually be cleared on 30s-45s if you know the strat for really fast clears.
any dps can easily clear in a minute or less in that scenario as well...

[static trout]

Yeah, but long-term you then miss out on SHD for future mules

[rugged stratus]

only if youre low shd level. 1 hr pulling that amt of FRD isnt a huge shd loss. you would have to spend all the gains across 4 agents to match it, according to your numbers

[crystal plinth]

Hello ppl.
About a long time bugged commendation.
Is there someone who saw the full description of the requirements of Summit Combat Mastery Merit Commendation {LEVEL 4}?
On the Internet and in the game I can find descriptions of 1, 2, 3, and 5 levels, but not level 4. It seems that no one saw it for now.

[static trout]

I'm not sure what you're arguing.
If you want raw FRD, your method is faster.
If you want FRD AND SHD, my method is better. Doesn't matter anyways, I recommend CP4 farming over F10 any day

[rugged stratus]

6 in 1, half dozen in another... just a matter of how much you need and how fast you need it

[static trout]

Exactly ^^

[hollow badger]

everytime i reopen the game it changes all my settings how do i fix this 😦

[sudden matrix]

Make the settings file read only? idk

[stray yarrow]

how do i get the eagle berer

[next basin]

Dark hours raid but its not guaranteed

[narrow matrix]

10% chance from box

30% chance from box if you run 3 characters - 3 x10%

1% from bosses

U get 5 keys on first clear per character per week

[next basin]

Anybody know if there was an xp event or something yesterday because i was getting like 560k for propaganda broadcasts with heroic and only 2 directives. Im on heroic with 4 directives and im getting less than 400k

[narrow matrix]

No there wasn’t any

[next basin]

Bro i want that xp i was getting

[narrow matrix]

You probably had the season multiplier

[next basin]

How do i get that

[narrow matrix]

You get a certain amount of xp multiplied from new manhunt releases

There’s a cap

[next basin]

So how do they activate

[narrow matrix]

It’s activated by default

[next basin]

What made it go away

[narrow matrix]

Go to season menu - you’ll see two bridges league or something like that

You earned the cap of xp

[next basin]

Im confused like when did it activate and what causes them to, is it like a seasonal thing or something

Oh i see it now

[next basin]

Is there one for everytime another event comes out in that track

[narrow matrix]

It activated Tuesday with the release of new manhunt target

[next basin]

So its only with new manhunt targets

[narrow matrix]

Yes

[next basin]

Ight thanks

[rugged stratus]

4directive heroic control points will give a full shd for each. the season multiplier is done as stated above, but you can always reset control points if you want to get better xp than propaganda

[dusk sluice]

this number on the left side means i get to open without spending credits right?

just to be sure lol i dont wanna accidentally spend credit

[glossy junco]

Yes

1 key up 3 down

[dusk sluice]

thank you

[tired summit]

Heyo im a new player and I want to try the hardcore mode, am I fcking myself in the long run or is this viable

[mellow trout]

The hell is a legacy apparel cache

[mellow trout]

Its meant for the heavily experienced

[inner tendon]

hardcore is perma-death, so if you die that is it, restart the entire game.
If you want to play long term, a regular character is the way to go, Hardcore gets you a patch and a lot of weird looks from people, but if you wanna try it out go ahead, no harm in it.

[tired summit]

I got to lvl 20, 16hrs in my till I died

wasnt even my fault tbh but doesnt change the facts

[tired summit]

is long term on hc not a thing?

like does the community support this?

or will I pretty much be solo 90% of the time?

[inner tendon]

I mean, it's a beta mode and always will be as it was a personal project of this one dev and never got like "finished finished".

but there is an LFG channel for it and some people do HC clans and such.
#lfg-hardcore-mode

If you have any definite questions about it, feel free to ask down in #td2-hardcore-mode-chat

[tired summit]

Yea I saw that it was in beta but doesnt really go into detail about what about it is still in the beta stages

[prisma meadow]

Is it worth it to be looting all the small backpacks and everything laying around?

[inner tendon]

Crates in the open world now scale to your difficulty, so you might as well open them.
the backpacks and such are just kinda random items and resources in small amounts, but it does add up over time.
what I normally do is get the ones near me, but not if I'm in a hurry or they're kinda far away.

[narrow kraken]

Yes better to do it passively than when you need resources you have to go looking around for it specifically (extremely boring)

[prisma meadow]

What are the resources for?

[inner tendon]

Crafting, Tinkering, Expertise, etc, etc.

and donating for the Weekly Project.

[prisma meadow]

Appreciate it

[atomic coral]

Basically Level 1 to 40 (including world tiers) is perma death, and apparently once you get keeners watch, if you die you just lose your inventory instead of a perma

[latent spade]

where can i find the note after completing two bridges in the manhunt?

[nimble spruce]

There are some hc focused clans that play together and support through the leveling process. It's got a steady background level of popularity.

[nimble spruce]

This isn't true, if you die your shd level stays but you still have to unlock it by leveling from 1 back to 40 again. Now we have a hc stash that does help regearing too though.

[static trout]

That is assuming you have good gear stashed. It's the same in D3 HC, sure you can put shit in your stash, but you're in all likelihood gonna be wearing the good stuff

[nimble spruce]

It's much easier to farm out a spare set of gear when you're already well equipped

I've already got a spare memento and Scorpio in reserve

[worldly fjord]

thats just not true lmao

[static trout]

Outside of what Rivens said, it's also flagged as Beta so they can say "Oh you died to a bug that also happens in non HC? Not our fault, you signed up for this" (which, I mean, every game with a HC mode essentially states this)

You aren't fcking yourself by playing Hardcore, if you enjoy that game mode you enjoy it.
I reached 60 in WoW Classic HC and died after 200 hrs total played, it was rough, but you go AGANE.

[static trout]

Oh, yeah, don't get me wrong. Div2 gearing is also much more lenient than say D3 gearing (no optimization, you've got ancient versions with more stats and could you imagine if the damage pr stack on strikers 4pc was randomized? That's getting a legendary in D3). It's not as punishing, but you're still gonna be wearing to fully optimized striker set, your max CHD mods etc.
Those aren't going in the stash in case you die

[nimble spruce]

Yeah I know, all I claimed was that the stash helps re-gearing. I wouldn't suggest that it removes that cost altogether.
I do tend to avoid pumping much optimisation or expertise upgrades into my hc gear, as it feels more wasteful when I could lose it all at a drop of a hat

[abstract cradle]

Why is the UI getting glitchy here? Any easter egg or something?

[atomic coral]

Jesus I thought it was otherwise

[static trout]

What?

[abstract cradle]

The UI like map, bullets etc gets glitchy like when you go fight the manhunt guys

[nimble spruce]

Check the rooftops for a stalker

[tired summit]

Facts we def go agane

Got my first rip 18hr in at lvl 20 hopefully I can atleast get a duo for the chance at not getting permad lol but alas it was a dumb death and I fully blame my sister for harassing me during a boss fight

[static trout]

I too blame your sister - even for the death I had on my HC run in jan (I hadn't relearned spawns yet and stood in the spawn door, looking the other way #deadge)

[static trout]

It's just, you're in DC - the Manhunt takes place in NYC - so I have no clue what you're talking about. Other that it could be a hunter stalker as kettle mentions

[tired summit]
