[real cypress]

what does the achilles pulse do?

[regal summit]

It highlights a zone, the next shot to that zone deals more damage

Useful when paired with builds that hit really hard on a single shot, like headhunter, sniper, ormdodge city builds

[real cypress]

i heard that it allows you yo deal hsd to that zone so would that proc determined or headhunter?

[regal summit]

It deals headshot damage, it isn't a headshot. So it doesn't proc them

Unless it's to the head ofc

[real cypress]

but how much extra damage is it at 0 skill tier?

[regal summit]

Depends on what you're shooting with

Skill tier doesn't make that big of a difference tbh

Main factor is build of the shooter

[real cypress]

well im trying to use a hh build with dodge holster for d50 one shot

[regal summit]

a lot then

[real cypress]

i get it from doing faye lau's manhunt mission right?

also whats the best sniper for headhunter/determined?

[regal summit]

sr-1 or model 700

[real cypress]

alr thanks

[minor schooner]

I tried that. It doesn't work for me. I cant get into the first gate of Stovepipe. No interact button pops up

[mellow vault]

I want know if being able to roll god roll items is a bug...I dont want to be banned for taking advantage of it.

[slim elk]

almost everyone is doing the god rolled gear glitch, so they're not gonna ban anyone

[tiny stump]

im still not messing with it. most of my stuff is already max rolled anyway

[cedar yacht]

Imma do it for my spar oreo for my pvp char

I already have a maxed out one

[mellow vault]

@cedar yacht Running a new character to get a Oreo?

[cedar yacht]

I have a spare in my stash

[mellow vault]

@slim elk You think? Cool...

[slim elk]

My friend and I are doing it, I just need my 2nd agent to be 40 and craft a bunch of mods

[dapper zephyr]

why is there still people that i see with a high number like 1237 or 1580 on their heads? have they not received the gear nerf update??

[dark tree]

thats shd level

not gear score

[dapper zephyr]

okay

thanks

[rugged stratus]

Could also be commendation score.

[rugged stratus]

It wouldn't be out of the question for these items to be rerolled if it's related to something specific that they messed up... kinda like when they messed up weapon talents...
Ig I'm one of the few that hasnt bothered/cared to try and craft glitched gear

[fleet saffron]

What's the point of reconfiguring exotics?

[rugged stratus]

Random 3rd attribute on weapons.

Low rolled items to try and get higher attributes.

Bringing item from 40>30 for a watch run or from 30>40 if wanting to update an older exotic achieved before/at 30

[fleet saffron]

Can I get dttooc?

[rugged stratus]

Yes, that's primarily what ppl are reconfiguring for

[fleet saffron]

Hm then ig I will try

Damn got pretty much max rolls but HD instead of Dttooc prolly not worth rolling anymore

Is 60 chc hard cap or if I use buffs it goes past it?

[burnt kelp]

hi. did someone know why we became no Arm Patches anymore for defeating Loop 10/20/30/40 in The Descent?

[rugged stratus]

Nothing will add past the max chc in your stats, but something like diamondback can guarantee crits for a period of time.

[fleet saffron]

Damn

Vindictive works on swap yeah?

[rugged stratus]

I'm unsure. Most talent are only when weapon is in hand apart from talents mentioning on swap. Like busy little bee.
You can test it in the range tho to be sure

[mystic forge]

guys, can you no longer optimize non-core attributes on guns?

[slim elk]

Yes you can, you just need to have it in your library

[mystic forge]

oh

[wispy rose]

do you think i can do count down as a deaf/mute player?

I'm on PS5

[slim elk]

ofc you can, you don't actually need to hear in that mode

[wispy rose]

thank you

[burnt kelp]

hi. did someone know why we became no Arm Patches anymore for defeating Loop 10/20/30/40 in The Descent?

[wispy merlin]

they just stopped giving arm patches for that this patch

[main cape]

I still haven't started the dlc yet, my level is like that how to actually go up

[raven mountain]

just play

[main cape]

yes but i'm not leveling up

how do that work, my friend is and i'm not

i'm just getting caches

[tiny stump]

the xp is messed up, the only thing worth doing for xp is public executions

[narrow kraken]

Its just a visual glitch

My execution said ~230k but got ~400k

Try for yourself

[tiny stump]

oh nice thank you

[narrow kraken]

[burnt kelp]

u have a source?

[wispy merlin]

it's usually listed in patch notes for each version, for this patch notes they didn't list them so

[burnt kelp]

so there's no source. ok thanks mate.

[slim elk]

[insert confused blob here]

[wispy merlin]

dude, reference patch notes for the past TUs and contrast with patch notes of this TU. you know how it's difficult to prove the absence of something right?

[burnt kelp]

ok ok ok

[cosmic bloom]

is it worth it to level up a fresh character on descend to 1-30 ? or it's still faster doing other methods?

[fleet saffron]

What? You can use boost char from lvl 1 to 30 why would u manually lvl up

[narrow kraken]

Right

[cosmic bloom]

because i'm doing my last achievement (bounties from each safehouse) and it's bugged if you boost a char, so i need ot manually level up one

[fleet saffron]

Interesting

[narrow kraken]

[cosmic bloom]

So i'm guessing not many people played Descent to see how good/bad the XP is

[narrow kraken]

Whats descent?

[cosmic bloom]

I mean the rogue-like game mode

[narrow kraken]

Oh that thing

Yea no

[rugged stratus]

If you need bounties, wouldn't it make more sense to just roll through missions and open world activities🤨

[narrow kraken]

Its a specific trophy

[wispy merlin]

it's rather that new players won't really enjoy how sweaty the mode is, and how endgame players are more comfy or experienced in other ways of leveling and descent is just for earning named item bps anyway, so descent is never explored as a way to level

[narrow kraken]

You gotta start a bounty from each safehouse in DC

[cosmic bloom]

Yeah it's a trophy that is bugged you can't do it if you boost a character, there is only 1 bounty at a time in the main game

[dapper zephyr]

Is there a limit of hunter spawns that you can do per “x” amount of time?

[narrow kraken]

Its not bugged just get bountys from doing public executions

I have a fuck ton

[wispy merlin]

no, you just have to satisfy the period of time for that hunter puzzle which usually is nighttime

you can spawn as many as you want during that time if you're fast enough

[dapper zephyr]

but there are 2 hunter dpawns (that im aware of) that are available during the day and they dont spawn for some reason

[wispy merlin]

which ones?

also try turning off your directives

[dapper zephyr]

whats that

[wispy merlin]

map > global settings > directives

[dapper zephyr]

revenant & midas and crimson those two spawns can be at day

[slim elk]

Night. Past 21:00 before 05:00.

[fleet saffron]

Is exotic drop rate known or it's just speculation?

[slim elk]

iirc 0.03 or double zero

[sudden matrix]

This is the drop rate of a normal item on the ground.

TL has a different rate.

[upper burrow]

where is snitch today?

[normal ember]

hi. do we ever need more than three of the same gear mod?

[rugged stratus]

build dependent. with improvised gear and chillout mask you could have 7 mod slots. realistically, you might only use more than 3 mods for PFE and possibly chd.

[normal ember]

got it. thank you sm. I will try to consider this

[narrow kraken]

@upper burrow it's random and individual to each play seesion

oh shit that was two hours ago, myb

[amber snow]

What's the best high end sniper now?

[narrow kraken]

damage Model 700, ease of use/overall the SR1 (?)

[mellow trout]

Revenant and Midas have to be done in the night

[slim elk]

yeah, SR-1.

[narrow kraken]

i always forget cause there are like 5 variants or something

[slim elk]

Adrestia, Designed Hitter... and a lot more

M700
SR-1
M700 Carbon
and the forgotten White Death

[narrow kraken]

Covert SRS, SR1, SRS-A1 i swear theres more lol

Pinprick!

[mellow trout]

Rip white dead

[narrow kraken]

good riddance, i always liked the model 700 better, too many wild shots with the mosins

[amber snow]

So sr1 + nemesis combo for a hotshot build? Or model 700 + mantis?

[slim elk]

Both are nice

For max damage go with the first one, if you have a headshot rate to the roof. use Mantis

[narrow kraken]

SR1 is pretty slick... id probably switch if i hadnt already spend the exotic components on my MOdel 700

[slim elk]

Do dz exo runs lol

[narrow kraken]

im assuming thats more than 1 per 15 minutes right? maybe ill give it a shot, dz makes me sad, havent been in there in months and seen a real person (dz 4 mans grief squads arent actually people)

[amber snow]

I can get 20 in a hour or 2

[narrow kraken]

damn

[slim elk]

You can get more than 15 every 30 minutes

[amber snow]

Vpn

[narrow kraken]

what are the worst servers?

and by worse i mean the servers that literally nobody plays

are there SEA servers? those are usually dead

[amber snow]

I use Australia

[narrow kraken]

ill give it a try thanks

[rugged stratus]

on hotshot , i combo a m700 carbon with an elmo for SHTF. not sure the point of 2 snipers...

scorpio would fit well

[amber snow]

One for groups, one for tankier targets

[rugged stratus]

your main would be enough...

2 snipers is pointless. jmho

[amber snow]

So is an Elmo on a hotshot build

[rugged stratus]

well, it can take advantage of hsd and extra handling.. so its pretty much a laser when you need to hit a head. m870 wouldnt be a bad backup tho...

im sure the second sniper is perfect when something inevitably ends up close range 🤣

[mellow trout]

I usually run a shotgun or Rav as backup

[rugged stratus]

i think i like elmo since im able to consistently hit between 600-700k per headshot. great for cracking helmets or if something is really close.

i could see a few options being decent tho

[narrow kraken]

I used nemesis as secondary for rogue agents and if there are no redbars and i goofed up headhunter in legendary, does 16 million on first shot

for hotshot builds that is

[wispy merlin]

i love dodge city

[blazing timber]

DCH with firewall shield

[fleet saffron]

Any tips on how to get past the mortar at the beginning of incursion, idk if it's me or just matchmaking team issue...

[cedar schooner]

Two strats I've seen.

1. Take 3 DPS one healer w. BTSU. two people each side, then when at the steps, healer BTSU overcharges, and DPS players drop Decoys, this allows the DPS players to destroy the turrets weakpoints while ads & turret are focused on decoys

2. Use an oxi build to destroy the weakpoints yourself from the back. Takes a bit of practice but you can essentially carry the room if you do that.

There may be better alternatives to the first strat, but the second one is pretty bulletproof once you learn it.

[fleet saffron]

Idk where the weak points are hm

[cedar schooner]

I'd watch a video tbh, personally I couldn't describe it well enough

[proper wagon]

Best strats I've seen as well.

[real cypress]

question: overcharged decoy will always draw aggro from ads and turret?

[fleet saffron]

I mean the mortars or you can't disable them

Cuz they just obliterate the team

I don't think it's humanoid creature

[cedar schooner]

it will

[nimble spruce]

Move around more

[real cypress]

the weakpoints are behind a wall, theres two sides left and right, left side you can climb up to the rooftop of a greenhouse i think and shoot the weakpoint through a small gap, the second gap can be seen when u climb a dumpster truck

[fleet saffron]

I see, interesting

[real cypress]

and also its a generator that needs to be shot

[nimble spruce]

That's to disable the turrets not the mortars, you just have to avoid them until the turrets are down and you can progress

[real cypress]

oh wait i forgot theres turrets and mortars 💀

for mortars just roll out of their way

or have a healer on standby to shoot a heal at you

its what i do most of the time in the beginning

[nimble spruce]

Can also shelter from them in the little buildings while you clear the first wave of adds

[real cypress]

noted, will now always overcharge my hive when the team drops decoy near turret

[real cypress]

the white dome buildings? sure but the problem arises when you go to the places where you need to destroy the turrets generator and you get staggered around like ping pong

• ads shooting but now i guess we just need a decoy(overcharged)

[fleet saffron]

Even if I get past the turrets, who knows if the team will be able to get past other stuff, big gamba

[real cypress]

well... you just need a healer and some more practice, everyone had their rough days on the first encounter when this incursion first came out, myself included until i know about the decoy and sticky emp

[mellow trout]

2 left, 2 right

force up, decoys, kill gens, clear adds

even emp stickies if you want more breathing room

[real cypress]

my friends somehow managed to miss the god damn sticky emp tho 💀

so the decoy is fool-proof

[nimble spruce]

Farm better friends

[cedar schooner]

well you can take both

[real cypress]

im sorry but better friends arent in countdown targeted loot 💀

[mellow trout]

summit legendary maybe

[real cypress]

🤔 do they exist in tidal basin on legendary?

[fleet saffron]

Damn it went well but everyone dcd on truck part, which is sad cuz the boss died at the same time truck exploded...

But with good healer it's not that bad

[real cypress]

yea a healer is essentially required in incursion

what is the difference between amplified damage and total damage?

[cedar schooner]

just different multipliers

amplified damage is multiplicative to everything, which is what you want

[real cypress]

so an amp from 2 different talents would mean 2 different multipliers right? while total damage just adds onto what you already have right?

[cedar schooner]

Total Weapon damage is it's own category and multiplicative to everything except other sources of TWD.

[real cypress]

what about sledgehammer and scorpio's 7th pellet debuff? is it supposed to be amp or twd?

[rugged stratus]

Amps

Sledge is a little weird tho since it only affects armor and armor plates, but amp while they exist. Not additive with regular dta

[fleet saffron]

Does extra CHC from a talent proc (for example, FInisher givint +30% extra CHC) go above the 60% cap?

[cedar schooner]

no

only talent bypasses the cap is diamondback's Agonizing Bite talent, but coyote's and Finisher and whatnot can't go over 60.

[wispy merlin]

and perfect determined wait, what was that?

[cedar schooner]

No

[amber snow]

Is strained not best in slot in higher rpm weapons?

[cedar schooner]

Rpm isn’t really the biggest issue. Red core vs blue core is

Tac Vector & MP7 end up being very close on both, but it’s honestly not something I can blanket statement tell you. Rpm is a factor but just not the biggest one.

[narrow kraken]

Does anyone know if First Rogue Descent arm patches are bugged? Decided to call it a night at level 21 (completed 20) and no Nemesis and No Tier 3/4 patches showing

[wispy merlin]

they're no longer a thing for this patch

[junior sequoia]

When the cavalier gear set is charged, it "shares the agents hazard protection" but how exactly does that work? That means if I have 100% HP, other players in the group will have 100% HP as well for 10 seconds?

[fleet saffron]

When getting last piece for holster in coffee shop do I just need to be in location at 12 and it will show marker or what to do?

[cedar schooner]

you need to be elsewhere waiting till 12, then at 12 IIRC you speed over there and they'll spawn

[fleet saffron]

I was there so gg I guess

[rugged stratus]

Theyll share your 100% if that's what you're rolling. If they have hazpro then the shared just gets added to that afaik.
You may not need to share a full 100% if your teamates already have some hazpro.

[willow oracle]

where to get extra magazine 5.65 and 7.65?im new at the game

[slate obsidian]

Either buy from vendor at the White House next to crafting station, doing side mission reward listed, or going to guy named “Cooper” and upgrade the perk has weapon mods. The rest is control point on alert level 3 (only available on level 40)

[mossy wing]

are any of the older season reward blueprints available through other means?

[slate obsidian]

Dev did said older blueprint seasonal add through control point alert level 3 loot pool

[mossy wing]

Interesting, control points have stopped giving me blueprints, I figured they were alll tapped out

[slate obsidian]

Other recently season blueprint hasn’t add in loot pool yet

[sudden matrix]

You probably did exhaust that pool of blue prints. Not all are in that pool and you'll never get your blueprints to cap, at least not in this version of the game. It's impossible to hit the stated cap when viewing the crafting bench even if you had gotten everything along the way. No idea why and no official response on it.

[dapper zephyr]

thanks naval

[mossy wing]

I haven’t paid attention to the cap, I just know I’m missing blueprints. The thing that bugs me is having every trophy but the bounty one

[proper geode]

Does anyone know how to find a match for the Roosevelt island stronghold? I have been looking for one for 20 minutes. It's my first play through and idk if I'm doing something wrong

[fleet saffron]

if nobody is playing it then nobody is playing it, you can only change difficulty and hope it helps

[mossy wing]

Try calling for backup

Exit matchmaking and call for backup

[proper geode]

My only option is story

[proper geode]

I will try that

[fleet saffron]

Yeah that could be harder, I also never got into story in matchmaking

[proper geode]

I got a guy but it still wants 2 more

[wispy merlin]

you can just walk into the mission...

you don't need to get a full group

[proper geode]

I went across the bridge and there is a invisible wall with a matchmaking prompt

And I can't go past

[wispy merlin]

you can't go down the bridge?

nothing should be blocking you

[proper geode]

When I go down it stops me and makes me matchmake

[wispy merlin]

idk, restart the game maybe, there's no invisible wall that stops you from playing roosevelt

you can even do it solo

[proper geode]

It let me now I got one and waited awhile

Gave a prompt to just go

Thanks yall

#discord-news message

TLDR they gone for "legal" reasons we think, Mods didn't support the choice. Sucks but there are other big discords you can LFG in with VC.

Via the "explore discoverable servers" type the division 2 and pick the ones you think are good. I'd suggest the ones with over 30K users which will be GCRock and "the division" they are both well moderated and have lots of people playing most of the time.

[novel plank]

does anyone have a really good guide and explaination for expertise? i cant find one anywhere and im pretty confused on how it all works

[mossy wing]

Oh I never noticed artificer, that’s a nice boost

[mossy wing]

Pm me your questions, I’ll answer

[novel plank]

okay, ill reach out a little later about it

[inner tendon]

@novel plank You're best off asking on here, that way you can be sure that the person answering doesn't miss anything.

basically you make an item "proficient" by using it/having it equipped/donating copies/donating resources", then once it's at Rank 10, you can add Expertise to the item.
How much Expertise you can add depends on how many items you've made "Proficient". You can play just fine without adding any Expertise at all to items, it's very much a "finishing off an already perfect build" kinda thing. Deep endgame.

[fleet saffron]

What's the best first set of shd chc haz pro skill dmg 50/50 stab/acc?

[inner tendon]

Crit stats, then everything else honestly.

[fleet saffron]

Ig

[inner tendon]

hazpro is nice on certain setups, but it's very much not mandatory for 90% of the game, same as all the rest.
tl;dr the SHD Watch has nice buffs to have, but you can live without them.

[sweet vale]

What's the best thing to craft god rolled? Reconfigure exotics or what?

I don't have as much resources as I thought so need to choose

[novel plank]

i didnt even think about being able to reconfig exotics

🙏 st elmos please drop soon 🙏

[fleet saffron]

You still need to hit dttooc...

But yeah

I might try it and hope I get

[novel plank]

honestly if you dont have a g rolled coyotes, catharsis, memento, ridgeways, etc id go for those

thats what id do

[fleet saffron]

I invested recalibrating with coyotes so idk do I just cope with the loss

It will probably take more resources then 1 reconfig tho..

[rugged stratus]

Rivens did a pretty good job explaining the process. its pretty simple.
ill just add, Inventory > Tinkering Station > Expertise > hold button to donate junk will allow you to mass donate any items in your inventory that are already marked as junk.
weapons and named items take 20 duplicates donated to make each proficient.
exotics are 20 as well, but you wont donate these... exo items are better leveled through usage and/or broken to exo component for high level expertise upgrades.
brands and gearset items and 100 items donated regardless of gear type (named items wont count towards brand).

the basic process is:
mark any gear you dont want to keep as junk>
check library for any max rolls/talent youre missing>
Donate junk to expertise>
break what remains and use the materials for crafting or leveling individual items through proficiency.

[fleet saffron]

If you just want to farm it tho and don't care about if it's usable or not, just run countdown with empty backpack, mark everything as junk donate

Just 10+ runs of each type

[narrow kraken]

This is hands down the best explanation for what to do with your horded gear

[inner tendon]

@upper burrow The location is randomised each time you log-on, and it's different from Agent-to-Agent.

[upper burrow]

map is too big, it can take forever to find him 😞

[inner tendon]

The usual method people use is pick a location that's close to a fast-travel point, then travel there and check. No snitch? Relog and try again.

just fast travelling will not reset the location.

[lunar elm]

Why would my matchmaking be greyed out? I can't matchmake no matter which way i try, from map, from mission start area etc

Even tried open group through social - no joy

[valid bronze]

You are lvl 39 that's why

I've done it before though to help get through another mission?

on same, or lower lvl char

I can't do matchmake on story, normal, hard, invaded or not

i am connected to servers obvs

[valid bronze]

Not sure tbh

[lunar elm]

figured it out - so it seems although you can freely travel between WONY and DC, once you in NY you cannot matchmake in DC - as NY matchmaking is fine

Guess this needs reporting somehow to devs

[fleet saffron]

Best way to deal with inventory idk if I want to do another char just so I can dump it there for later

I have no clue what got potential to be good or nah

[lunar elm]

max out recalibration library

[fleet saffron]

Done

[sudden matrix]

Read thru the build guides for PVE/PVP and see what is in there that fits those builds. And easy way to know what is or isn't good is general synergy, does an items stats/talent make sense together or are they just god rolled rainbow junk.

[fleet saffron]

It could be used in some niche build

So idk

And there's tons of builds

[cedar schooner]

Honestly not that many worth using. At the end of the day, you’ll probably get rid of something you didn’t think you’d need. Just try to keep pieces that would be very difficult to farm again.

[noble snow]

fr i pick up maybe 1 item for every 20-30 i dismantle

[cedar schooner]

Yeah it really gets to be like that

[fleet saffron]

I pick up everything that looks usable lol

[cedar schooner]

Needs to be useful to

[fleet saffron]

Idk if it is

I would need to find a build that uses it, but it's God rolls most of the time or good rolls

[cedar schooner]

And for that I’d follow Souless13’s advice

[fleet saffron]

If the game was more alive it would probably have tools for it

[cedar schooner]

Yeah I kept a lot of those, but you can always optimize, having the right rolls is always better

[fleet saffron]

Optimize to expensive for me

[cedar schooner]

Whatever man

[cedar schooner]

You don’t need to for a while

[fleet saffron]

Yeah, but would be cool

:/

[golden linden]

Will there be a Seasonal HC character?

[slim elk]

handcrafted? Next season, yes.

[golden linden]

Hardcore Seasonal

Nevermind I see it

[worldly fjord]

How much does the recruiter outfit cost?

[noble snow]

i think its 2075 premium credits

so like 20 bucks

[fleet saffron]

Is cp heroic best way to lvl up?

[noble snow]

yea and hitting the public executions and other activities along the way to CPs. public executions are the only ones i will actively go out of my way for though

[summer canyon]

Are Legacy Manhunts still consisting of only the Climax mission as of the current season?

[inner tendon]

@summer canyon That's how they're intended to work. You can't replay the entire thing.
Although re-running the mission, each boss kill gets you 1 of the missing Comms.

[summer canyon]

Perhaps, but I feel like just having the climax mission removes context about what the Legacy Manhunts were about.

Oh well

[inner tendon]

IIRC there is some info on the Manhunts screen. It's no longer just a "here, go kill this person".

oh RE: the DLC. MSV likely won't give us a name until juuuuuust before the DLC is released. They don't like announcing things too early.

[mystic sphinx]

a doubt, with this new season character system.
If I choose not to play the season and continue with the character I already have, I will simply not have access to the new content that is introduced during the season.

but at the end of each season these contents will be placed in the base game and I will be able to do them normally with my main character, correct?

From what I understand, this new system will be like this, or am I wrong, could someone explain it better??

[inner tendon]

Pretty much yep. You can play the Global Events and other old stuff with your main as you like, but the new Seasonal Character specific content can only be done by the Seasonal Character until the final 2 weeks, when your main can play it all, called "Intermission".

[fallow inlet]

Hey Rivens

[nocturne siren]

Is guila guard craftable for the backpack, gloves and holster? I'm gonna do the crafting bug before maintenance at 03:00 EST on Wednesday

Gonna make a snappy bighorn build

[fleet saffron]

There's maintenance?

[nocturne siren]

Yes, #server-status

[nocturne siren]

Is recruiter outfit in the store right now??

[fleet saffron]

Should be

[nocturne siren]

I so better pick it up rn before it's too late

I hope it comes with the cloak

[cedar schooner]

both versions are available

[nocturne siren]

YES

I'm tryna login rn but my data is so unbelievably slow

[minor schooner]

Does the Sweet Dreams shotgun turn into Lullaby when you max its proficiency?

[wispy merlin]

no

[minor schooner]

Then why can i donate Sweet Dreams to gain Lullaby expertise, and there's no way to gain proficiency with Sweet Dreams?

[wispy merlin]

no. the only way is reconfiguring it into lullaby

also, don't donate exotics lol. they're worth more as exotic components

[jaunty badge]

they are essentially the same weapon with different skins. Lullaby is the special version of the Sweet Dreams that you can get from buying Year 1 Pass. Since they are the same weapon (talent has the same effect with different names) with different skin, you can level up the expertise with either one

[edgy oxide]

Since when this is bugged like this?
The reload animation reloads correctly using Fast Hands, but the ammo itself reloads SUPER slow.

[wispy merlin]

always been, fast hands only works when reloading the first shell

the rest of the shells aren't buffed, the animation just looks like that

[edgy oxide]

This is so cringe, Jesus.

[junior cave]

Fast Hands on shotguns...

If its acs12 then i would understand.

[amber snow]

That's why ppl use pummel

[novel plank]

do we think theyre ever going to significantly tweak or nerf elmos?

[nocturne siren]

https://mxswat.github.io/mx-division-builds/#/CwVgtAzAnG4EyTARjsMAGDXM+9gXEgGyzJgIRhQDseu9d+wM4aFyS4D3jqpbdQTxyESrckMnd8cTHwHCpBJGDQQSSYLU0xNADmQhh+RaZNLj1fBDRFw1FURjTtKpKaA

^^ took advantage of the crafting bug, and this is now what I've got for my bighorn build. Yes ik 3 piece gila is really good (ran outta mats and have to farm for the specific piece now) and yes ik I have weapon handling on my bag. It's a placeholder for rn.. think it's good enough for dz?

[nocturne siren]

I highly doubt it. In pvp the mag gets only half filled with shock ammo. I'm pretty sure it would give full mag ammo and people would spam status. This is what I've heard tho, I wasn't around at the time

[novel plank]

mainly more concerned with pve

it SHREDS and its literally the exotic in every build it seems, besides oreo

ive been running countdown for a few hours now and almost everybodys been using it

i have been, and its so much fun

is theres an efficient way to farm tactical assements for optimization?

[valid bronze]

Yes looks fine

[valid bronze]

It's actually terrible for burst/sustained dmg, the main perks are the decent mag dmg and handling, also boosts your crit nicely (does not compensate enough for low dmg imo)

[novel plank]

yea

[nocturne siren]

Sweet 🤣 I crafted my build in 5 minutes thanks to the bug

[slim elk]

I love this bug, bad thing it's about to be removed 🥺

[civic lily]

way too late they don't nerf stuff 5 centuries later

but it should've been nerfed

the cc is really strong but the attachments just being ebs but better, and being put on a better gun is the real problem

[cedar schooner]

P416 is better technically eb is also better but so is relevant damag talent AR. Just depends what you need, or want.

[civic lily]

in pve elmo is everything you need I know pvp isn't the same at all

[cedar schooner]

It’s just easy to play with

[civic lily]

being the most accurate ar has more meaning then just being easy to use

[cedar schooner]

Tbh FAMAS is accurate enough to compete with it, and depends on your play style how much you get out of its accuracy

I run it for legendaries, but I’d rather have a HE AR for heroic

[civic lily]

Sounds like ur just running the HE ar in heroic because elmo is boring

Not for some utility sake

[cedar schooner]

Preservation is nice

Fast hands is also cool

[fleet saffron]

Is game working?

Can't log in

[quick tartan]

Maintance still bude

[fleet saffron]

I thought it's in 10h lol

Welp ig I have to stick with what I crafted

[sour ivy]

they arent gonna shut down for maintenance during prime time

[fleet saffron]

Prime time is now

[nimble spruce]

It's morning office hours for the dev team, that's why it's at this time

[nocturne siren]

I fell in love with it too because I just maxed out all of my essential skill/gear mods pretty much instantly. I'm waiting to see what the damage is to our accounts as soon as we log in after maintenance

[real cypress]

brazen vs optimist, which one is good for pvp?

[nocturne siren]

I've been seeing a LOT of optimist double barrel shotguns in dz lately

[real cypress]

🤔 is it because optimist works way too well with double barrel having only 2 shells?

[nocturne siren]

Well, the double barrel hits ungodly hard and you can spam both shots and insta swap to a regulus + bulwark shield

If built properly the double barrel can actually 1 or 2 tap you depending on how much armor you have

[terse phoenix]

I need some helpt in trying to play countdown but its not showing im in a team its not showing a timer or anything some 1 knows whats going on and this already happens like 10 times i downloaded the again again its not fixing

[fleet saffron]

Are you solo then?

[terse phoenix]

I joined countdown and the second im in countdown whit others im not in a group or anything like idk whats going on and it happend everytime

[tough marsh]

you've possibly started a solo Countdown

[dapper zephyr]

whats the best specialization for pvp??

I almost always just do pve so idk

[nocturne siren]

Firewall, that 200% armor kit is awesome

[worldly fjord]

Anybody else keep getting bravo 4 errors?

[nocturne siren]

Restart game launchers and try another log in. Maintenance just finished so there might be some issues connecting

[worldly fjord]

Tried it but unfortunately didn't work. Gonna restart the laptop to see if that works

That actually worked

[nocturne siren]

Hopefully, the worst you could do is VPN to European servers since I heard those guys over in the EU are logged in rn

Nice!

[worldly fjord]

That is actually what im doing 🫠

[dapper zephyr]

where do i get the crafting schemes that are not unlocked by completing projects?? I barely have 2 schemes per weapon class

[soft nest]

anyone know if they actually patched crafting rolls?

[worldly fjord]

Cant play without a vpn cause i keep getting mike 1 errors

[nocturne siren]

Most likely servers aren't up in your region

At least not yet anyways

[onyx folio]

Control points lvl 3-4 make up the bulk of it, for named gear it's gonna be descent

[fleet saffron]

Max pfe?

80%?

[wispy merlin]

yes

[amber snow]

So anyone banned from the bench glitch?

[soft nest]

nah lol

[dapper zephyr]

whats the bench glitch

[nocturne siren]

Crafting bug where new characters can craft godroll items (max attributes)

[nocturne siren]

Nope, we get to keep everything. No rollbacks or bans

[amber snow]

Heh knew the devs didn't have the balls

[fleet saffron]

They would need to ban any new player...lol that's like how to speedrun killing game 100%

[nocturne grove]

For the global event challenges, like burn hostiles & finish hostiles with melee attack, can this be done where players contribute or is it individual wise?

I already completed it solo, and wanted to help a new player in completing it. Wasn't sure if the challenges can be completed in a group

[dapper zephyr]

what???

is that even possible? to roll maxed attributes?

[tawdry iris]

Guys, isn't possible to level up the expertise on crafted chestplate?

I have Harnesk Armor Replica by Fenris Group AB and can't find it under Fenris brand or Body Armor

nvm, relogin solved it

[fleet saffron]

Yes

[sudden matrix]

I mean it is possible to craft a god roll item but this bug made anything you did in the crafting bench god rolled or 99% perfect.

[real cypress]

i think anything that has to do with status effects is solo only, i tried to help my friend with "burn enemies" objective from golden bullet last time since i have an EP build, it didnt count for my friend

[mild stone]

did you finish killing keener in wony?

[mystic forge]

anyone know why I can't matchmake for missions in DC as a lvl 31 char? Or why I can't change global difficulty?

[cedar yacht]

Its been moved to lv40

[inner tendon]

Honestly, your best bet is to "call for backup, then recall when someone joins" anyway. Ignore Matchmaking.
Assuming you can, although I don't see why not.

[mystic forge]

I've heard that people go lvling in the dark zone now. Can you do that solo? And what do you even do, clear landmarks?

[inner tendon]

Landmarks have always been a fairly solid way to get xp, but the trick is that players can quite easily kill you.

[hot kraken]

Is everyone getting reset to level 1 soon?

[fleet saffron]

Wtf I just saw someone with shd lvl 47k how long does that take?

[nocturne siren]

In order to play the new seasonal content, you will have to make a seasonal character and you will start at level one on that character

[cedar yacht]

Depends how much content they abused

[hot kraken]

Thanks

[fleet saffron]

So you can abuse without bans?

[nocturne siren]

More times than not they most likely farm control points where they can. If you can do 100 control points a day you'll reach shd 1,000 in 10 days

[cedar yacht]

In the past yeah.

[fleet saffron]

Missed Out gg

[cedar yacht]

doesnt matter unless you really want those sweet shd points ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[nocturne siren]

Yeah there was a number of XP exploits that people took advantage of. I know of one method I keep seeing this one guy on YouTube do and that's the warhound convoys that occur down where tidal basin is. If you use firewall during a golden bullet global event, you can manage to actually get a Black tusk spawn point to loop over and over at one specific location and you can spam the firewall flamethrower infinitely for as long as you can hold down the trigger or keep the mouse clicked

[fleet saffron]

Kinda true, would be nice for 1k tho

Or for mats from shd

[nocturne siren]

When you hit shd level 1000, you feel so accomplished and yet you feel like nothing has changed

[hot kraken]

Thanks going to abuse (this is a joke)

[nocturne siren]

Have fun waiting for the next golden bullet event

[fleet saffron]

It's in 5 weeks so

[sudden matrix]

It happens because the wally is in the truck and as long as one of them is you can just keep at it.

[nocturne siren]

Which explains the flamethrower lol

[sudden matrix]

Yeah but if you invite friends along who wanna pew pew it's good info to have.

[nocturne siren]

I personally never done this method, I usually go the control point route and collect the mats from each cp and I also get a level doing it too

[dapper zephyr]

Lore question:

Are TD1 and TD2 main characters the same person? if not, what happened to the first main character?

[fleet saffron]

What tech hive do? Cuz I don't get it

[inner tendon]

It's "grey canon" as of right now. So they can be, they can also not be, it's up to you.

[nocturne siren]

When hanging, it boosts nearby skills. What kinda of skills? Idek

I don't use it at all so I have not a clue

[mellow trout]

refreshes skill duration and durability iirc

enhances held skills like oxidizer too when on your back

[fleet saffron]

Hm ig I will test in game

[nocturne siren]

If only it can enhance the repair trap to be scattered and not a parallel straight line

[sudden matrix]

Shield artificer is a pretty dope combo.

[nocturne siren]

I've heard it makes your shield borderline unbreakable, but what build would I even see it on?

[sudden matrix]

I used it on HB builds a lot, I also use it on HHF if I'm using the door.

It does a large repair to your deployed shield while the hive is on your hip still. I forget how often it is but it's a real game changer.

[normal ember]

hi all. are invaded missions difficulty bugged after this last patch? heroic feels stuck at hard

only a few elites, low health, etc

[nocturne siren]

I'll have to give it a shot

[normal ember]

nvm relog fixed

[mild stone]

Do the Devs actually listen to the community? Because this seasonal characters stuff literally says the opposite.

[normal ember]

i think they sound kinda fun

[cedar yacht]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[mild stone]

replaying the same missions with different mandatory directives? instead of adding a new gamemode like survival 2.0, raid, incursion, map expansion?

this is the death if div2 js

[normal ember]

dont people say that roughly every patch tho

[mild stone]

you obviously haven't been playing long, enjoy empty lobbies

[normal ember]

my hive will be with me

[dapper zephyr]

thanks

Can WONY dishonest abilities be used on pvp? What on DC (pve)?

[valid bronze]

Heals skills I think too, and dmg buff

Some players run it in PvP with decoy

[valid bronze]

Not sure what you mean

[inner tendon]

I think it's a translation of "Rogue", re: the WONY Rogue skills.

if so, that is just amazing.

[valid bronze]

That's kinda cool, wonder what language lol

[dapper zephyr]

Yes. Rogue

The dub in my country put dishonest instead of rogue

[sudden matrix]

dub lol translator gottem again

[rugged stratus]

Not unbreakable, but able to repair.. this also depends of your shield tier and artificer tier.
Tier 3 would give like 45ish % skill repair every 10 seconds.
Something like memento being charged would drive this higher along with the shields actual health.

[clever fjord]

Decoy bomb and fire sticky and shock trap? Yes

[rugged stratus]

Something like this would withstand heavy damage.
If you were gonna use t1 crusader + t1 artificer it would kinda be pointless..

[valid bronze]

I disagree and also see your point

[rugged stratus]

what's the disagreement?

[valid bronze]

T1 shield with artificer stays up enough for what it's for

[rugged stratus]

The artificer is not worth at that point

Better off with a different skill like decoy

[minor schooner]

Do certain exotics have a higher drop rate than others?
More specifically, if you already found that exotic?

It feels like whenever I find an exotic, or open an exotic cache, it's one i've previously found.

Is it better to buy exotic caches or Legacy Season caches when searching for St. Elmo's?

[slim elk]

Exotic.

[slim elk]

Not really

[lunar elm]

@wispy merlin

had to press g to change it

[wispy merlin]

yes, that's change mission mode

[lunar elm]

🙂

that ledge difficulty is something else mind 😮

dont think i'll be doing that 😦

[fallow inlet]

Hey Rivens, Souless

[rugged stratus]

exo caches only

[tepid bough]

I reached level 40 today and unlocked the watch shd levels should i start farming for gear or try to raise the shd levels? And what gear should i farm for?

[clever fjord]

Try to get yourself a striker's build initially

You can find the build templates on the pins on #td2-build-advice

[tepid bough]

Thanks a lot

[tepid bough]

Legendary St Elmo's Striker Build?

[wispy merlin]

pins in #td2-build-advice

[clever shuttle]

i boosted a character to lvl 30

but at my bench i cant craft above superior items

online it says that once we reach level 29 we unlock the high tier upgrade allowing us to craft yellow items

is there something specific i need to do to be able to craft yellow items?

there isnt a bench upgrade button

[fleet saffron]

To craft yellow items you need lvl 40

That's when I got bench upgrade at least

[dapper zephyr]

At lvl 30 I already had it available

[fleet saffron]

Hm I don't remember that and I did new char like 2 days ago

[dapper zephyr]

My character had reached lvl 30 way before the new update about levels and gearset

maybe it's that

and after the update I already had the workbench maxxed out

idk

does keener appear in td1? I haven't played the first game even tho i wish to.

[novel moon]

just making sure, nemesis components are found in tidal basin. capitol, dua, and roosevelt, while blueprint is at gwh

[junior sequoia]

Bro, what is the point of perfect determined? As far as I tested, if you kill an enemy while normal determined is active, you will not lose the determined talent. And the perfect determined says that "killing an enemy will NOT retrigger the talent" but, why wouldn't you want to keep the talent active so you can one shot one npc after another? Is this "perfect" determined really supposed to be worse than the normal talent? Okay, it's a critical hsd with the perfect version, but IMO if you have high hsd damage in your build, that doesn't help much.

[rancid dirge]

The relic is appropriately named for a reason.

[rugged stratus]

yes, manning when invaded also gives a random piece.

[rancid dirge]

Use the chain killer or any chest piece with headhunter and a high damage gun with determined.

[rugged stratus]

i mean, its a broken talent either way. when they tried to correct it neither perfect of regular worked... they restored regular to its busted form and called it a day.

[junior sequoia]

they should rename it "imperfect determined" then

[rugged stratus]

we can hope

[minor schooner]

I was told to make new characters (up to 4 (i think)), and get them through the Keener mission, to get the SHD watch because of the "Multiplicative" advantage?

I don't fully understand what that means.

Do i gain SHD xp at a higher rate (2 characters x2, 4 characters x4)

I understand they all share gear and mats. And i essentially have the extra inventory space as a mule.

But i dont understand why they say "multiplicative" all the time lol

[rugged stratus]

your shd points youve gained to this point on your main will be duplicated for each new watch

this includes all scavenging points

[wispy merlin]

people like saying "multiplicative" as much as they misunderstand it

which is a lot

but yeah as local said

[rugged stratus]

so any shd level above 1000, you take total shd -800 sequestered points (watch categories) and thats what youll gain from a run

when you delete a spent agent and rerun a new one, youll get another fresh watch, infinitely

[amber snow]

to be a shd lvl 10,000 and do a mule run must be really nice

[rugged stratus]

any agents you have created can also be used for 4x the projects, 4x chances at raid/incursion boxes, and extra storage.
agents that remained created will also keep gaining shd based on any gains you make shd-wise

[rugged stratus]

yeah 9200 scavenging

there is a certain point where you wont need to rerun them, and they just keep gaining

[rugged stratus]

in this its a fairly accurate term. if you have 4 agents, every gained 1 shd is essentially 4 shd

[minor schooner]

Thank you all for the replies.

[novel moon]

how to best grind for the shd exposed global event?

[rugged stratus]

same as grinding shd level. heroic controlpoints with as many directives as you can manage. heroic 4d is an shd per cp

daily projects as well for pretty easy exo while grinding xp

[novel moon]

its fine i just noticed the daily challenges

ill be fine i somehow completed most of day one already

[warm solar]

I’m a returning player for this season. I was wondering if anyone knew a good build to solo heroic contents.

Don’t have Elmo’s but have other exotic weapons + memento and other exotic armors. Thanks for the help in advance!

[kind nest]

im new to the game whats a good build to use for beginners?

[slim elk]

@kind nest Check 📌 Spreadsheet at #td2-build-advice

[narrow matrix]

Amp damage

[wispy merlin]

weapon damage is multiplicative too

[fallow inlet]

Hey Local,

[rugged stratus]

Good morning Saph ☕

[tawdry iris]

Does anyone know what exactly a player doesn't get access to without buying the WONY? I know a few skills that tied to WONY missions, how about DC? Incursion? Raids?

[nocturne siren]

incursions you get access to, raids you get access to, but some of the skills you dont get

if im not mistaken, you dont get access to the trap skill, decoy skill, sticky bomb skill

[cedar schooner]

I think it's all the traps and stickies btw. not just the ones in WONY.

[nocturne siren]

i doubt hes gonna wanna use the repair trap

now, the shock traps, i can say, is nice against the floor 100 hunters in summit or rogue agent encounters

[fleet saffron]

Yeah shoc trap camp scorpio was my strat for summit 100 2+ years ago

[cedar schooner]

still works😎

[sudden matrix]

Just killem.

[tawdry iris]

Thank you

[nocturne siren]

skill list looks like this, if you pick up WONY you get access to 3 more skills that are pretty good. in my opinion, WONY is worth it for other reasons

(sticky, trap, decoy are the skills from WONY)

anyways, back to farming for specialization points on my pve character ive been neglecting to play on 😮‍💨

[cedar schooner]

The Decoy & EMP sticky are very strong skills and if you're planning on playing the game semi seriously are basically necessary.

[wispy merlin]

so true

[fleet saffron]

Decoy is used quite often ngl so kinda worth

[tiny stump]

so kinda worth it. thats a very firm stance ya got there

[south turtle]

I can honestly tell you to run 4-piece Striker's Battlegear with the Backpack talent active, either Ceska or Sombra chest piece with Obliterate talent depending on your weapon choice and Coyote's Mask. Rolls should be focused on CHC and CHD.

For daily farming on Heroic solo does the job just fine. That's my go-to build whenever I'm running solo.

[fleet saffron]

Well if you play with someone with dlc then you don't need it

But if you play with 3 other ppl then don't have it, then it's worth it

So just know with who are you playing with

[weary junco]

Does anyone know what the trinkets are for that I've been finding?

[sudden matrix]

You can bulk sell them, they used to be used for random things here and there but no so much anymore.

[nocturne siren]

how many specialization points is required to max out gunner, tech and firewall?

[sudden matrix]

iirc it's 165

[tulip fiber]

It is 165 for each

[nocturne siren]

awesome thank you

gotta farm these spec points bc why they dont transfer with other characters? idek

[untold kindle]

Friends, how do i get "Steel" ? like the material

[nimble spruce]

open whichever type of resource box drops it (square-ish black ones maybe or the green toolbox-shaped ones?) - lots in the vicinity of Solar Farm CP west of Capitol Building

you can also trade global event stars for resource caches, kill outcasts, or spend scavenging watch points

[burnt geyser]

i joined a backup call and it was a legendary mission. some guy joined saw me and left. im level 189, is it wrong of me to join?

trying to understand if i did anything wrong

[noble snow]

probably not it could just be some elitist

or it could be that maybe you dont have the best build

who knows, most likely not ur fault

[nimble spruce]

if you found the legendary mission ridiculously hard then it's best not to stick around as your presence scales the enemies up more

if you're ok with legendary then it's their problem not yours

[noble snow]

real

[burnt geyser]

bit of both i guess, missions still very hard even after trying to improve the build, but they did leave after a really short time and a comment of my level. how can i improve that? im trying to get a dps build by what i was told in build advice

but thanks

and is it possible for me to join cd or is it like legendary?

[wispy merlin]

cd is a lot easier

it gets you overall more loot too

[cedar yacht]

Just do challenging cd

Similar item quality compared to heroic and way easier

[burnt geyser]

thanks

[ember violet]

Anyone know how to get this arm tattoo? We think it's from iron horse but can't find any info on it

[eternal plaza]

"style" apparel set completion

[normal veldt]

Nice! Thanks for confirming.

[eternal plaza]

no worries bossman

[mystic forge]

yo I'm doing a Control Point and I am seeing "No allies available" if I want to flare, which I can't. What's causing that? 1000+ hours and I've never had that happen lol

[nimble spruce]

it's a rare bug that I think only affects one CP, iirc caused by there being no friendly spawn points near it, the solution is to capture the closest CP first, then that'll be able to spawn reinforcements for the one you want to capture

[mystic forge]

It was sink hole and the flare became available randomly in the middle of clearing it

[elder roost]

can't use the flare underground. when you get to the heap in the middle the roof is open and you can then fire the flare.

I just dbl checked. there are three entrances to the CP and none of them allow you to fire a flare before you go in.

Query: When trying to complete the gunner specialization by removing the armor of Basilisk. Do I have to be the one to remove the armor or can others help and I just deliver the death blow?

[tepid bough]

What's the use of creating characters other than the main one?

[fleet saffron]

Store gear, run weekly stuff for more exotics and/or farm watch for free mats

[plucky kernel]

kids in dz using the goo to immobilize me any counter?

[pine parcel]

anyone know how to fix the shd network bug

run hazpro rolls on your gear

[rugged stratus]

alt agents duplicate your current shd watch. each alt gets a fresh watch matching current shd level, this includes all scavenging points. ready for immediate use once watch is obtained. this can be done infinitely by recreating an agent.

[rugged stratus]

others can help. oxi and stinger hive do a good job removing the armor first before a kill

[plucky kernel]

[meager nest]

you mean the recruiter?

[lunar elm]

bounties the best way to make money?

[nocturne siren]

Landmarks in dark zone is another fast way

You could also pick everything up that you find as marked junked and go sell it

[hot kraken]

Money best way to make printer filment

[amber snow]

Tech it's mules but if you aren't leveled enough to mule I liked doing bounties cuz u get good XP too unless it's bugged rn I can't remember

[blazing timber]

Holy nice I have stopped playing this game after the features we are getting and they refuse to fix some talents

[valid bronze]

yea i heard. im still building the 5.11 for you

[blazing timber]

Good luck

[bronze shuttle]

i have a bug in countdown where stuff dont drop anyone know how to fix it?

[dapper zephyr]

yes, my bad

[nocturne siren]

im getting bravo 4, anyone else experiencing this?

[arctic frigate]

same. maybe some server issue

[nocturne siren]

that definitely sucks if this is the case. i was gonna start making backups of the builds i have so i have them on hand and dont have to rely on keeping loadouts all the time

nevermind im in, pc restart did the trick 👍

[arctic frigate]

oh really? thats weird. how restart fix the server issue😄

still bravo 4 🤷‍♂️

[cedar yacht]

unlucko

[arctic frigate]

yeah. my internet is fine, everything is ok, except div. other ubi game is working fine..so imma just wait i think

thank you Naval I appreciate it

[fleet saffron]

Where do I get foundry bulwark and future initiative pieces for project for regulus?

Ah seems to be from bosses but I dismantle everything

[cedar schooner]

the gear pieces you can just farm targeted loot for now. The materials you get from the raid though

[fleet saffron]

Oh

Hm I will try then

[sudden matrix]

Yeah just TL in countdown/summit/open world.

[elder roost]

thanks

[elder roost]

the recruiter can't be killed by you. Just stay alive until the cut scene. When you hear the warning to get clear of the mortars, get inside the house! The mortars will do the rest.

[valid dagger]

After 4 f'ing trys the camp white oak mission is still not marked as complete, I have tried restarting the game, and doing it on different days but its not working. Anyone know what to do/how to fix this?
(I haven't tried again after the game restart)

[narrow kraken]

what should i upgrade first in each tree in the watch?

[inner tendon]

Outside of the crit stats and maybe HazPro, the rest super don't matter for the order.
Just take what is useful to you in particular. You'll get them all by SHD 1k anyway.

[elder roost]

what she said

To all new and returning players: you have four character slots and you need to use them all! Take each to lvl 40 and then go to Inaya @ BOO to get the ability to share resources. When your main character gets Watch SHD pts, so do the others. Use their scavenging points to buy resources you need for your main. I harvest my mule points every month.

[elder roost]

fixin

fixing god-rolled crafting table was a priority but fixing CP resetting when you log on was not?

guess I'll go farm the Summit

[narrow kraken]

I'll be happy if it's fixed on Tuesday, getting my maps green 4x over should be more than enough levels to complete the apparel event

[slim elk]

idrc about this bug since I'm always farming the Sinkhole

[elder roost]

what's speciasl about the sinkhole?

[slim elk]

CP4 5D with hotshot, grants 812k-ish XP per clear

Sleeping giant is also a good CP to farm, but I prefer this one

[elder roost]

CP4 5D? explain plz

I only know C3PO 😁

[narrow kraken]

control point heroic, 5 directives

[elder roost]

roger-roger

[rugged stratus]

This is my take as well.. cp resetting on log saves me from having to manually reset 😎

[rugged stratus]

Its bigger than this. 4x the projects (xp/exo components), 4x chances at raid/incursion chests, plus the extra storage...
Depending on your shd level, you should also be actively flipping the last agent and duplicating the watch, along with harvesting the other alts. This need would slow down considerably once you have expertise ranked up.

[narrow kraken]

having another bout of forgetfulness. has it always been the case that rogues are 100% CC immune during their armor kit animation?

I mean hunters sorry

i know melee stops it, but i could have sworn CC did as well

[elder roost]

thx for the added info. I saw someone ask why do you need extra characters

[sour ivy]

does this mean the game is officially done now?

well to see the positive aspect at least they are honest about it and we can look for a replacement

[elder roost]

They are focusing on Division 3 .

Not sure what they could add to 2 that would make it new enough to please everyone
plus they need to sell new games every so often, that capitalism thing

[sour ivy]

until very recently they put all ressources into heartland for years which they cancelled..so i doubt division3 is gonna be a thing until in a few years(especially because they have to use a different engine to stay competetive)..and i doubt that a lot of people will get fooled into getting that game either since the past shows us that its most likely gonna be the same crapshow as we are experiencing now

[elder roost]

have you played Div2 today?

[sour ivy]

yeah ofc why

[fleet saffron]

New dlc has to have something new otherwise no point in buying if it's story dlc

[sour ivy]

lets hope

[elder roost]

just funny to me that you'd call it a crapshow and still play it. must not suck too bad

[sour ivy]

one thing doesnt negate the other

[narrow kraken]

what do i need to do if its telling me 5th st. northwest at the manhurnt

[fleet saffron]

Seems like bounty

[narrow kraken]

ohhhhhhhh yes thank you it is

[dapper zephyr]

what is the most efficient way to kill "The recruiter" On hard difficulty? No matter how many directives or difficulties (Or how few) the recruiter oneshots you no matter what. Add to that the bunch of enemies that keep spawning and it becomes impossible to me. If anyone knows the trick behind this poorly designed final stage please tell me

[novel moon]

hi why cant i start this manhunt? i alr discovered pentco power plant

[rugged stratus]

there are some points on the structure you have to break, its best to yt these so you know exactly what to look for. when you get the npc spawns you can leave one alive and it will stall any other spawns. personally i left a chunga alive so i could shoot his ammo belt to stall them and not take damage.

there will be a few damage/immune phases that you have to work through iirc

[novel moon]

please help

[normal ember]

hi all. is it known that if you don'

don't have health mines or emp gun in normal game, if you get them in decent you cant use them?

not sure if just a bug for me

[novel moon]

please i want to 100% my legacy mahunts

also why does it say that i have the jupiter manhunt incomplete even though i completed it?

[amber snow]

Is there still a crit chance cap in descent?

[wispy merlin]

yeah still 60%

[amber snow]

Man they could at least add a stat page then

[wispy merlin]

yeah it's very annoying

[wicked forge]

would it be easier to grind all the exotics for expertise or just grind countdown for exotic caches to throw into expertise?

[amber snow]

I just did mules and donated printer filament, if ur low shd just focus exotics last

[weak olive]

Do dose anyone know when they gonna fix skills in the raid

[real cypress]

probably when gta6 comes out, imo it really isnt that annoying since my healer build still works just fine, shields on the other hand now are made out of thin paper because it will break real fast

[tiny stump]

what is going on with the final days GE challenge about taking out fully exposed enemies? I think it was 25 that needed to be done but I had to do it like 50 times or more because it didnt count every time I successfully did it, it would only count one or two out of a run of like 6 enemies

[sudden matrix]

It's on the Trello and planned for the next title update.

[desert copper]

Hello hope everyone is ok I was just wondering how come the control points and invaded missions don't save when you logojt and come back later thanks

[regal summit]

It's bugged

[desert copper]

Cheers

[kindred ice]

Hello, I was in countdown and wondering what is this orange symbol on the left of watch level?

[regal summit]

That means it's a hardcore character

[weak olive]

When is the next title ubdate

[hallow stream]

Ok...riddle me this...how does one go about getting the Kingbreaker blueprint? Is it locked behind the TKB-408?

[wispy merlin]

descent

[hallow stream]

@wispy merlin thank you!

[dawn sandal]

i'm alone ?

[cedar yacht]

Yeah

[supple oasis]

is this gun good just got it from exotic crate

[wispy merlin]

it's pretty good

y6s1 descent commendations

[grim ruin]

is countdown easy? as a new level 40 player do you think it'd be a burden if i joined a hard or challenging group even if i do a bit of damage?

[sudden matrix]

Challenging is gonna be perfect and is easy for new players imo. You'll follow the group and can MM them super fast. Just follow the group and try to complete the objectives and don't use deployed skills like the turret, drone, hive around the hunters, and if you don't know what hunters are yet they are the ones at the start and end and they hack those skills and can f your team.

[mossy pollen]

So, is it better to use a level 30 character I have from a few years ago or utilize the 30 boost from getting the DLC and go that way for progressing?

[tame bridge]

Taking advantage of dlc is best way to go

[mossy pollen]

Yeah I just took my current agent into NY we shall see how it goes

[tame bridge]

Ya id say fastest way is to beat main missions there, get the skills then finish off grind to 40 in dz

[mossy pollen]

Sounds good thanks for the tip. 🙂

[novel moon]

is there a critical hit chance cap?

i know some games have a soft cap for critical hit chance

but is such thing as like 100% crit chance?

im currently looking at around 50% crit chance

[wispy merlin]

60%

if you use coyote, its chc buff will not be counted in the stats screen, so you have to manually account for it

most commonly people will leave their chc to be close to 50% so that all 3 coyote buffs are useful

[amber snow]

In descent should I use adaptive instincts or plague of the outcasts?

[south turtle]

If you wanna shred the Nemesis quicker, Plague of The Outcasts.

The more bullets you hit, the more the ticks will be powerful and quickly drain armor and health.

That helps a lot in every scenario possible, including the Rogue Agent rooms.

[amber snow]

Past the nemesis

[south turtle]

I'd stick with Plague myself. Saved me lots of times when I killed a marked enemy with it.

Specially on those loop 15+ rooms with Elites and the Rogues too.

[clever shuttle]

i have a lvl 17 weapon i rly like, is there a way i can upgrade it to level 24?

[wispy merlin]

not really, and you're still in the story so keep playing

is there A maintenance today?

[rocky lagoon]

At what level should i start donating items for recalibration station? And should i do anything with expertise right now? I am level 25 right now.

[gritty cargo]

If you're only character level 25, just focus on farming materials and good gear pieces to get you to 40. Now if you're expertise level 25 then you dont need to do anything lol.

How many of us are getting ubisoft services are unavailable at this time??

[rocky lagoon]

I am at character level 25. So i should just farm right now?

[gritty cargo]

farm and build your character up. To make it easier, try and farm gear sets that will help you in the open world and with proficiency. Dont be afraid toi deconstruct stuff you dont get the feelf for, its just resources for your

[supple oasis]

whats the best weapon core attributes and attributes for st elmos?

[slim elk]

Core attributes are pinned to exotics. They don't change.
You want on almost every exotic weapon DTTOOC (DMG to Target out of cover).

[wispy roost]

Does the Scorpio and Coyote Mask still require Warlords?

[torn tangle]

is there a way to fix inspect bug without relogging ? Cant inspect team

[junior sequoia]

Do you still need to complete Kenner's manhunt (the WONY one, not the current one from the season) to get the SHD watch if you get level 40 in Washington?

[supple oasis]

no

[slim elk]

Instead if the Inspect tab go to their Stats and search for a chestplate that's three/four categories down.
Everything they have equipped appears there also.

[thorny flame]

Anyone experiencing D-03 errors?

[elder roost]

not so far today

[burnt geyser]

does expertise level on an item affect its optimization price?

[remote plaza]

Leveling up your expertise on an item will gradually increase and change thr materials needed to improve it. Like I think you start using exotic components at expertise 12 or 13 (somewhere around there) to improve the bonus per item.

Sorrry im editing as i seem to have misunderstood your message at first. -- As for optimization, those are two separate systems and don't effect one another.

[rugged stratus]

no. but there is also no point in putting expertise levels on an item that isnt fully optimized/god rolled anyways.

[lunar elm]

Does ninjabike drop from pve targetted loot these days?

[inner tendon]

It does, but that's more of a threat than a reward.

You're almost certainly better off with something else. What's the rest of your build?

[lunar elm]

just farming things i dont have really - to give me options

want st elmos too haha

[inner tendon]

Elmo is pretty great, both the muppet and the giant mag AR.

[lunar elm]

currently enjoying bulletking

[wispy roost]

Does the Coyote Mask and Scorpio still require WONY?

[tiny stump]

probably not

[nocturne siren]

Has a chance to drop, slightly higher with backpacks as targeted loot, and exotic caches will drop it too. There's select few builds ninjabike is good for, but most of the time on PvE it will hurt your build. Its way better for pvp

[wispy roost]

Just ran JFC on Challenging and Coyote boss didnt appear

or its because it's invaded

[junior sequoia]

Yes

[wispy roost]

oh alr it's shd now

[torn tangle]

What is going on with division today ? 90% of Countdowns are offliners. The rest is people just zerging to their deaths then leave

[tough marsh]

Countdown more like Meltdown

[mellow trout]

Beatdown

[nocturne siren]

more like Letdown

[real cypress]

is it just me or gila guard's third piece bonus was 3% armor regen but it got reduced down to just 2%?

[wispy merlin]

nah it never was 3%

[supple oasis]

why the fuck does my game crash everytime during the last objective on countdown, i have a rtx 3060 and a beefy cpu why am i crasshing

[cedar schooner]

It was for the PTS for project resolve, but it was reverted to 2. Was never 3 on the live server though.

tom division 2

[worldly fjord]

It was a bug the entire time?

[wispy merlin]

apparently 💀

[worldly fjord]

Oh jeez

Good thing i got 999 mats already lol

[graceful plank]

Anyone know how I can fix the bug in the mission dawns early light that prevents me from entering the door to speak to the president

[worldly fjord]

Isn't dawn the level 1 mission where you save the white house from hyenas? You dont meet the president for like another 15 levels

[rugged stratus]

You can swap mission modes by holding g in mission settings. This will swap between invaded, replay, and manhunt if available

[shell parcel]

Guys, please help me.
Why is the Virginian cannot be tinkered?
It says: "You do not have any elements to transfer into this item."
Don't have to mention I have everything.

[worldly fjord]

I * think * you can't recalibrate a slot that has been optimized but im not 100% sure

[wispy merlin]

this is correct

[worldly fjord]

I know the 10% dtoc is bugged and doesn't always show the optimization icon

[wispy merlin]

yeah, it shows neither icon, so we can't know for sure, but it seems he's optimized the dttooc also

[worldly fjord]

Yup, if they had recalibrated dtoc then they wouldn't get the error, since it could be recaled into 11 other attribute options

[wispy merlin]

you can have both icons on the same stat, if you for some reason recal'd and then optimized it

but for this case it's just optimization. tl;dr you can't recalibrate whatever stat has been optimized

[shell parcel]

Dang it!
Got this weapon long ago and forgot to have all stats optimized.
You're right.
Thy for the help all of you.

[graceful plank]

Oh well uh I’m having issues opening the door to complete the mission

Like I can’t figure out what my objective is nor can I interact with the other npcs

[worldly fjord]

Try logging out and back in, if that doesn't fix it then might as well delete the character and make a new one. Shouldn't take more than 5 mins to get there again

Wait where exactly are you?

At the front gate with enemy npcs, or inside the base?

[graceful plank]

Inside the base

[worldly fjord]

Go upstairs, interact with a brown door

[graceful plank]

I did it wouldn’t work

[worldly fjord]

Try logging out and back in

[graceful plank]

Ok I will once I get back from vacation

[tough marsh]

bro let a 5-year old bug go unchecked and finally decided to fix it.

[torn tangle]

anyone knolw where to get this _

nvm googled,, it was timed event... 💔 . FInally found sniper outfit and i cant get it xD

[cedar yacht]

You have to wait for rerun

[amber snow]

Ik they also sold recolors in the shop the same time that one was in the event so those are prob ur best bet

[cedar yacht]

crazies thing is that the recolors were better than the free one

[torn tangle]

they still there _

[humble frigate]

anyone knows where to look for what hunters im missing? missing 4 off-white keys

[clever shuttle]

i just leveled my main character to lvl 30 without boosting it, however in my specializations i dont have 165 points like my other characters for sharpshooter, demolitionist and survivalists. is this normal??

[amber snow]

I think it was on the list of things getting fixed tomorrow

[wispy merlin]

i don't think characters share spec points

even before this update

[amber snow]

Yeah but boosting maxs the base game specializations

[wispy merlin]

ah true

Yep! "Crossroads".
It'll start after the Server Maintenance has finished, so about 3.5 hours from now-ish.

[wooden estuary]

nice

What changes with this?

Fixed the issue with the Clan Vendor selling the PvP-exclusive Yaahl Gear Brand Set.

[inner tendon]

Every now and then, the Clan Vendor would have a piece of Yaahl in stock.
It was going on for years and people just assumed it was meant to be there.

It's how a fairly decent chunk of players got full stocks of Yaahl mats.

They are indicators that the game will balance or "buff" your damage to an equivalent number to those who have the highest level in the group. Basically, if your friend is level 40, and you're level 31, it'll boost the damage you do to keep things balanced so you're not a level 31 getting 1 tapped by level 40s

Can be done, people need to come build ready tho (3 striker, 1 healer)

Cool I’ll give it a shot

Should probably make sure I have a good build first tho

[nocturne siren]

Just come with these 2 builds and people will love you for coming build ready:

DPS (have healer take survivalist, 1 person take firewall, another take demo, another take sharpshooter. You'll get the most damage from all the added specialist buffs and synchronous builds) - https://mxswat.github.io/mx-division-builds/#/IwWgTCDMKqAsA2EAGFbUfegXJC1VQIAOUTcrc3OKNIkYiC5y7YATnFrMt5eWxhOBGHzHNBwuuJkZBCJDWDAIwYpw6F2sdk1ZgArJyXIA7LJwrFIA+f6tT2c8pj2BYVJE-47lIA

[olive phoenix]

I'll add, as I think it's worth mentionning, the setup may be a little hard to farm for you if you're really new as its a named, and comes with a blue armor core. Which means you need to have skill haste and repair skills to reroll armor to skill tier for the healer build. However, if you just get repair skills and not skill haste, its an okay trade until you find a better one, losing on 12% of skill haste is not the end of the world.

[nocturne siren]

^^ alps summit backpack with opportunistic works just as good

[sour ivy]

its the new player budget version of the setup

[nocturne siren]

I call it "poor man's setup"
