[thorn hedge]

Making my way downtown

[marsh tundra]

take your time, there is a lot to do, but take it slow

[marsh tundra]

walking fast i presume

[thorn hedge]

Faces pass and I'm homebound

[hot ferry]

There any way I can more consistently find backup calls?

[weary junco]

I'm using a sniper when I can't aim, I'm definitely taking my time XD

It has a cool name though

One more question, does the £24.99 pack unlock all the season tiers?

[stoic lion]

Weekly SHD requisition task, with the donating of supplies. Can I do that at control points?

[tulip fiber]

The value bundle, right? It gives access to the premium pass, but only skips 27 tiers.

[inner tendon]

You REALLY don't need to skip any tiers. You gain xp at such an incredible rate if you just do open world stuff on heroic w/Directives active.

[weary junco]

Ah ok, just wondering if I have time as I'm still on story and have to do the dlc next

[marsh tundra]

yeah you canbasically farm the entire pass in 1 day

[tulip fiber]

The weekly SHD is done through the projects menu. The resupply of control points is done there

[stoic lion]

…..the amount of supplies I’ve given to control points and not seeing it go up

You legend just got St Elmo’s from the exotic cache

Come here Timmy 😘

[tulip fiber]

Lol

[rancid sequoia]

so question division 2 vendor list says cassie is selling the splinterer but im not seeing it here

[tulip fiber]

You need to do the DC hunters. Hunter-Killer requires the NY hunters.

[civic forge]

Is there a way to get cleaner optimization materials instead of control points? Or countdown?

I just need two

[narrow kraken]

you can craft them?

[tough marsh]

they can be crafted if you have the blueprint

[civic forge]

Without crafting them

Can I get it from summit?

I heard I can get tactical assessments on summit depending on the difficulty

[rugged stratus]

like looking to answer calls? you can use matchmaking and it will auto connect when one comes in. wony used to have a ton of backup calls coming in, worth going to ny and seeing if its busy. with the recent change to 1 end game it might be hit or miss there

[rugged stratus]

thats 2 different things. weekly shd is map>projects> donate @ project page.

sometimes daily project has resupply control point in district ,and that is done at the officer after control point takeover. just make sure youre in the right area or it wont count

[stoic lion]

Yea, I completed it and got my st elmo that I was grinding for for ages in the cache 😂

[rugged stratus]

very nice 🥳

[hot ferry]

Thanks for the tip

[novel plank]

go to NYC and do a cleaners based main mission with a named cleaner on challenging

[marsh tundra]

any cleaner boss in mission/bounty/open world/cp4 will drop one

[civic forge]

Ok

[grand forge]

How or when can i go to Kenly College ? It says always is not available at an unannounced time ? Is there a way to know what time it opens or wich day

[marsh tundra]

its announced on twitter or on patch note iirc

[grand forge]

Thanks. Another question i had the opportunity to drop a Lady Death SMG is there a way to get a BP out of it or the bp must be found ?

[fallow inlet]

Once you get it ,you buy the bp

Loops wrong BP. That's the reconfigure bp

[mighty smelt]

Returning after a year and have forgot everything where do I start, currently in the summit

[cedar schooner]

Depends what level you are and what gear you have. Summit is good to gear up very early, but countdown is going to get you a lot more gear.

[coral charm]

Just died to a Hyena with a flamethrower, is that even possible?

[grand forge]

How hard is to do countdown ?

[mellow trout]

Not hard at all

Challenging and matchmake for 8 players and it's as easy as just following everyone else

[grand forge]

Just got my very first Lady Death yesterday but is so weak with 44k dmg while i drop other type of smg with 94k is there a way to improve that dmg ?

[grand forge]

I play most of time alone with 2 friends but they not always online xD

[mellow trout]

Ignore base damage numbers

Lady death doesn't do that much DPS anyway tbh

[grand forge]

I know but is what i can get better for the moment till i find something good

Im trying to go for Ouroborus in Paradise Lost but that one hard dor me to do it for the moment

[cedar yacht]

The mission is simple. The issue is mainly find people.

[torn tangle]

CP is the quickest way to get these right ?

[rugged stratus]

Cp completion for the field recon data (flag). 3 for challenging, 4 for heroic.
You'll get the blueprint for the other when completing control points. Can also run faction specific bounties to get the tactical assessments iirc

[lament bison]

For field recon data, I recommend doing dz landmarks instead, it's the fastest way imo. You don't need to extract them.

*If you're not shd 1500+, otherwise you could do the resources mule thing.

[narrow kraken]

Guys i have a question, how do i get the best loot in the game? Incursions?

[lament bison]

Countdown, Countdown, Countdown.

People only do incursions for incursion exclusive drops, such as the Ouroboros smg

[narrow kraken]

Thx bro

How do i get the Memento and the Ninjabike messenger backpack?

[cedar yacht]

Exotic caches and targeting backpack in countdown

[narrow kraken]

Alright thx

[summer canyon]

Since they consolidated the endgame this season, does this mean all the GearSets and BrandSets that were exclusive to WONY owners are available for everyone?

[slim elk]

yes

[summer canyon]

Good to know

[rancid sequoia]

any reason why some vendor items not showing up for me i have completed wony

[wispy merlin]

shield splinterer and hunter killer are locked behind hunters

[rugged stratus]

do blueprints drop from dz landmarks?

[cedar yacht]

No

[lament bison]

Not sure, but I think I got the yaahl one from there....

But again, for exclusively field recon data I think it still faster tan control points.

[rugged stratus]

For new agents it can be beneficial to kill 2 birds with 1 stone

[cedar stag]

whats the quickest route to go to 30-40 now? assuming you have a carry

[rugged stratus]

I think dc missions

[lament bison]

Well, yes you're right.

I remember grinding the control points to get the field recon data blueprint, just to be the very last one I got 🥲

[rugged stratus]

F10 used to be the best for FRD. Like 180-240/hr depending on difficulty. Probably still good for FRD but at the cost of no xp

[lament bison]

I wish I knew that earlier

[rugged stratus]

Yeah f10 was ridiculous

[lament bison]

Akso, did they patched the floor 10, 20, 30.... thing? Or am I doing it wrong? Do I have to return to lobby or something?

*I mean killing the boss twice

[rugged stratus]

If grinding loot you kill the boss , pick up loot, then lobby while npcs are still alive. Higher floors have more bosses.

They patched the xp thing tho, after 1 clear you can still maintain the floor and repeat clear but it gives no xp/loot. Itll still give FRD for some reason. I'm not sure if repeat grinding can allow you to complete challenges tho 🤔

I havent been back since it got patched tho

[pale bear]

hi guys, currently stuck on unlocking technician stage 5 - "Complete any invaded stronghold mission" I've done 2 invaded strongholds but still can't get this to complete?

[rugged stratus]

It may need to be on hard diff or higher.
Or could be related to a bug affecting control points/invaded missions

[pale bear]

ah yeah, had to be on hard difficulty got it now thanks ^

[rugged stratus]

nice 🍻

[valid bronze]

Also I'd like to throw in, as of last season you need to do 181 control points to get all the blueprints on a fresh account

[valid bronze]

Invaded missions in DC, right now Lincoln is the fastest. Around 10 min per mission invaded. I recommend getting 2-3 carry's

You need 6 runs

[inner tendon]

I'm curious, what about with no carry?

[valid bronze]

Dz landmarks

Lvl 31-40 is pretty dead, usually only other people that are power lvling

[inner tendon]

I like when old meta's crop back up. Ta.

[valid bronze]

People are scared to go into dz, a lot of the time it's dead depending on your server and local time. It's honeslty super good for xp and field recon farm

I was running it full red HHF the other day and had over 150 credits on me just clearing landmarks

[inner tendon]

I'm in Australia so even at 40 I can be there for hours with no one else showing up.
or I just use a VPN and pick somewhere niche.

[valid bronze]

Gotcha that can be annoying if you like to pvp but I take it you usually don't partake lol

[inner tendon]

If I want to PvP, I'll just swap the VPN to USA and it really is like opening the flood-gates.
but yeah, other people are welcome to it, but it's just not overly for me.

[summer canyon]

Any good way to farm credits? I'm currently at 198k with em

[tulip fiber]

Bounties, selling junk. Use scavenging points if you want as well.

[narrow kraken]

Is the only way to obtain creative mag for chatterbox is from the hyena lockboxes at JTC?

[tulip fiber]

I got them from open world boxes in that map area.

[narrow kraken]

damn I think I missed one of the boxes

[narrow kraken]

damn still nothing

[rugged stratus]

there should be a couple hyena key boxes in that district. if youve opened all, then double check in inventory> resources to make sure it isnt there. the hyena boxes reset daily so recheck tomorrow if it didnt drop

[tiny stump]

yeah. sometimes i get all three in one day. sometimes i get none

[narrow kraken]

There's around 3 boxes in total 1 at the mission site and the other two are open world opened all three and came out with nothing but pain and sadness😔

[tiny stump]

loaded canister - in downtown east hyena boxes. creative mag - in federal triangle hyena boxes. modified mods - in judiciary square hyena boxes. its a crap shoot though, they're not guaranteed drops except for the blueprint i guess, which you only need to obtain once. also none of them will drop if you already have a chattybox in your inventory or stash.

[charred mason]

Any one know why i cant upgrade my strikers backpack its not showing up in the expertise section?

[wispy merlin]

scroll down

also, you have very little reason to expertise armor pieces

the returns are pitiful

[tiny stump]

yeah i wasted a bunch of materials at the start of expertise on armor that doesnt help at all

[rugged stratus]

Yeah, gear is bad expertise investment.

[summer canyon]

Also, you need to level up your expertise by leveling your items.

You're better off investing expertise to weapons

[charred mason]

thank you all, it wouldnt let me scroll down i had to manulay grab the scroll bar.

[weary junco]

Pentco fairview. What exactly is my mission before the countdown ends? I use the laptop and it's loading and then I kill mobs. Hovercraft is landing or something. Timer ends I fail. How exactly do I stop the 3 jammers?

[wispy merlin]

get in their radius to hack them until 100% then shoot them out

[weary junco]

So I basically have to camp by the laptop?

[wispy merlin]

yes

[weary junco]

Thanks, I can't do this solo though. Guess I've found out I'm not upto the game after all

[summer canyon]

You could try asking in the LFG channel.

I wish I could help, but since I'm PC, no dice for me.

May I ask what build are you using?

[narrow kraken]

I can help perhaps

I need to this mission actually

[marsh tundra]

anyone cannot drop bluescren blueprint ?

if there is a fix i would really love it

[hidden quiver]

Well, same thing is happening for me with dread edict. It's unbearable how flawed the loot system in the game is. Since i've played for the first time, i haven't see a single dread edict. It is "supposed" to drop equaly among the other exotics. Countless exotic caches and target loot summit later, still nothing to this day. SHD 1000+ by the way. Fix that garbage ubi.

[marsh tundra]

yeah i wish we could craft them

having everything rely on chance is really not great

[latent nebula]

Is the clan cache supposed to be stuck on 0% with weekly reset at 00:00:00:00?

[hidden quiver]

Exactly. When on earth are the going to wake up about that?

[regal summit]

It's bugged

[novel plank]

is going after cassie actually worth it?

[rugged stratus]

If you have all the hunters/keys she sells the shield splinterer and hunter killer chest with attributes changing weekly.
They dont drop from target loot so cassie or making a new agent are the only way to get these items.
Plus unlocking her also unlocks Danny weaver so you can use up textiles

[fiery gust]

Is there a way to unlock Castle Settlement with boosted char before level 40?

[inner tendon]

It was unlocked as part of a Manhunt, so it's very unlikely to be possible.

[slim owl]

idk if this is controverstial but how do people feel about the newest season coming out? I haven't played since season 11 and just wanted to know if it's a good idea to hop back into the game with the new season coming soon

[inner tendon]

next Season isn't dropping until September so you've got time.

[slim owl]

yeah but I want to know if the game is still even worth playing

[inner tendon]

Speaking to a massively biased audience: yes.

[slim owl]

[latent nebula]

does incursion have any good loot?

[summer canyon]

It's mainly for getting the Ouroborus

[cedar yacht]

Weekly free exotic from the chest

[latent nebula]

Is that after you complete it once? Don't see it in the projects

[cedar yacht]

You get a key to unlock the chest and its guaranteed an exotic

And key resets weekly at Mondays

[latent nebula]

Got it, thanks

[wanton frigate]

and probably the best hunter mask in game

[barren maple]

If you did it flawless

[wanton frigate]

not on first try 😉

[barren maple]

I still need it, screw that

[small quartz]

Where do I turn in projects?

[wanton frigate]

i was able to do it from a group finder channel here

[barren maple]

Nice

[wanton frigate]

yeh just look for it there

[barren maple]

Ok, but my clan does those too

[marsh tundra]

are legacy season caches worth it ? do they drop something i cant get otherwise or should i stick to exotic caches ?

[silver fog]

They can drop dz exclusives, which you can get through the dz and named caches

[marsh tundra]

so not really interesting

[novel plank]

who is danny weaver?

[summer canyon]

A vendor added last season where you can buy caches with textiles

[novel plank]

what kind of caches and for how much

[marsh tundra]

exotics for example, but it cost a lot

[rugged stratus]

exotic, a couple proficiency caches, a couple material caches iirc

they only cost textiles which keep stacking up every time you open up duplicate apparel caches. danny was added to have something to use them on. there are very few items in the store that use textiles as well

its roughly 10,000 textiles per 100 apparel caches once you have all the regular apparel items

[full crown]

I ruined the chainkiller I had 😢 Does anyone know where do I get this chest piece?

[wispy merlin]

just farm walker & harris TL

[valid bronze]

Eh it's mid

[wanton frigate]

isn't it the only fully covered hunter mask?? that covers your eyes as well

[valid bronze]

Yea it covers your whole face but the fade on it was super poorly designed

My agent also has a beautiful face on my main characters

[mellow trout]

Blood red hunter mask is virtually same design resprayed I prefer it

[clever fjord]

Nearly all the hunter masks make your face look like an egg

Deceit might be the most decent one of them

[mellow trout]

I like any one with a balaclava

[inner tendon]

The Digital Faceplate from one of the Season Passes (that's just a plate) is 100% the best, since I can use the Striker helmet with it.

[clever fjord]

Red skull?

[inner tendon]

Sure why not.

[mellow trout]

I wish I had the striker outfit

[inner tendon]

That helmet, and the Gunner Mask was my go-to for a "tank" look for like 2-3 years straight.

[zenith dagger]

Anyone know how you can trigger the General Anderson manhunt if you werent there for the season?

cuz its coming as unknown and i cant seem to trigger it regardless

[noble beacon]

Is it possible for the Shield Splinterer and Hunter Killer to drop in open world after obtaining them from the chests?

[wispy merlin]

no

[noble beacon]

So the only way to get those pieces afterwards is from Cassie?

[wispy merlin]

yes

[rugged stratus]

if you create a new agent you also get the keys to reopen the cases again

theyll be on the ground next to each

[next perch]

Countering mortar build in pvp
Is one lengmo with one explosive resistance,sawyers kneepads and demo spec enough to counter a mortar?

[rugged stratus]

mortar will have a bleed and explosive component to the damage , im not sure how well it can be countered

[next perch]

Oh yes I forgot about the bleed

[wispy merlin]

this is why you melee bait

[lunar osprey]

First, demo spec prevent explosion don't work in pvp

[lunar osprey]

If you play with group then cavalier are more comprehensive

[next perch]

Forgot to mention, specifically for conflict

[lunar osprey]

HW to spam emp pulse also targeted to mortar

[slim elk]

crispy

[robust sedge]

Hey I've been having problems collecting the puppeteers legacy manhunt comms, I can only get 25/33 and I'm missing the secret ones I think. Anybody know about that?

[summer canyon]

Yeah, you need to do a number of puzzles to get them.

[marsh tundra]

what the fuck is that now ?

[summer canyon]

No idea, probably a bounty target from Hercules trial that got released ahead of time?

[marsh tundra]

no, it was a true son bounty that i cancelled, and then it showed like this for some reason

[summer canyon]

Huh

[robust sedge]

I tried following guides but it won't let me interact, I think that was only available during the manhunt

[summer canyon]

Weird. Cuz I remember someone said they managed to get the comms after that season was done.

Did you do those puzzles at a specific time?

[robust sedge]

At nighttime

[summer canyon]

Hmm

I'm not sure where to help you with that. Sorry, mate

[robust sedge]

This is where I'm supposed to start it right?

[lunar osprey]

Not big different between dz and conflict

[marsh tundra]

conflict is boring imo

[stoic lion]

What are ‘blue items’ never found or seen them personally but hear about them all the time

[wispy merlin]

you're probably looking at gear set items from a player who has colorblind setting turned on

gear set items are normally green but is blue from that setting

[stoic lion]

So it’s normally green?

Aghhhh! They need to fix their eyes, had me so confused

[limber dew]

They use the colorblind setting to enable outlines for some area effects, photo courtesy of https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/s/QIE5QvsOvs

Helps some people in some scenarios, I assume useful in raids

[regal summit]

makes it easier to spot mortars and allied hive ranges

[limber dew]

Typically manhunt comms drop in manhunt missions on named enemies when you defeat them, as far as I know there are no interactables for past manhunts outside of the manhunt missions.

Let's say a manhunt has 50 comms. The mission has 2 named enemies. You need to run the mission 25 times to get all 50 comms.

As a completionist myself, even I haven't bothered to collect all the past manhunt comms because it is too much of a torture grind for no reward other than 100%.

[lament bolt]

Are there other servers for d2?

[sudden matrix]

Tons of other discords...

This one doesn't have voice channels so most poeople LFG and chat in other ones.

[lament bolt]

I need to know where to find them 🫶🏻🥲🥲

[sudden matrix]

Got to "Explore discoverable servers" type The division 2 and join away. Join ones with big populations.

[lament bolt]

I love you

[summer canyon]

It's why I strongly believe Legacy Manhunts should be expanded to allow us to replay the entire Manhunt rather than just grind the Manhunt Climax mission.

[sudden matrix]

Crazy to think leaving more content in the game could be a bad idea but here we are.

[stoic lion]

About to reroll ninja, what’s the best stats I’m trying to look for?

[wispy merlin]

it's always the same

[sudden matrix]

The knee pads tho

[cedar yacht]

depends if you pvp or not

[wispy merlin]

i haven't heard any good people talk about it recently

i'm too lazy to figure it out

maybe i'll try to get one with hsd + haz

[cedar yacht]

yeah

[sudden matrix]

It'll always be hsd/CHC and haz imo

[wispy merlin]

i got 1 with chc+haz and 1 with chd+haz

[torn tangle]

anyone know when Mendoza has stuff for sale? Timer on him says 00:00:00

[marsh tundra]

she is open right now

go get the snitch and you'll find her

[torn tangle]

i did the snitch and bounty, walked to Mendoza for textile things. And he has nothing

Does the lady have it ?

[marsh tundra]

ngl i love the shitposting in some bounties xd

[marsh tundra]

mendoza doesnt sell for cosmetics, its danny

why do i have some cp at difficulty 1 on the map when i made the map difficulty to heroic ?

[nimble spruce]

it's a bug at the moment, I've seen others report it too

[marsh tundra]

yeah its only visual, i went there and it was a heroic cp

[pale bear]

yo, fresh 40 here so ive marked a bunch of items in inventory as donation - is there somewhere i can go to donate all that ive marked or do i have to do it individually?

[marsh tundra]

donation marking is for project donation

go to map, project tab, then check what needs to be donated

[pale bear]

ohhh right ok

[marsh tundra]

you cant share item with other agents unless you dropped the item while they were in your group otherwise

[fallow inlet]

Hey Kettle

[marsh tundra]

anyone knows why when i descontruct it says i might lose some materials cause of the cap but i dont reach any cap when i go with it ?

[cedar schooner]

You're probably at cap for something you don't realize. For me im always at cap for optimization mats, so I get that fairly often

[marsh tundra]

i check every mat, nothing is at cap

[civic forge]

Does the guardian event give the enemies defender drones?

[wispy merlin]

it reduces their damage taken yeah

[weary junco]

I fast travelled to the yellow marker and did the mission. Never pressed select to get the dialogue. So does this mean it isn't actually completed?

[marsh tundra]

its an old mission, it stays like this

[weary junco]

Ok thank heavens

[sudden matrix]

Make sure to do your DZ recon missions then countdown will show up there then.

Well next to that marker but still.

[wintry cave]

Does anyone know why I can't put this Preservation perk from my super 90 in my tinkering library? Is it because I bought it from a vendor? If that's the reason I find that really stupid.

[marsh tundra]

are you sure you dont have it already extracted ?

[valid bronze]

You can't extract it to a different weapon type

[summer canyon]

Yeah. If you wanna extract a talent from a shotgun, it can only be extracted to shotguns in the library.

[wintry cave]

(A little late since I had to run an errand) but Its not been extracted to my library yet no, and I'm trying to take it off one shotgun and put it on another shotgun.

And the super 90 I am trying to extract it from is not favorited or has any mods skins or anything on it either.

[rugged stratus]

are you entering tinkering with that item/category selected, or just tinkering through the inventory overview?

[rugged stratus]

oh nice, thanks @inner tendon

[blazing timber]

Can we pin 5.11 builds as well

[civic lily]

holy pin

[rugged stratus]

That would violate the rule about no exploits/cheats discussion... rule 6

[blazing timber]

You mean rule 5 para 11 ?

[inner tendon]

Rule 5, section 11: no impersonating real builds.

[marsh tundra]

could be worse

richter build

[sleek snow]

anyone know why classified assignments dont work with directives

[split meadow]

Why does my gun deamge lower evry time

@slim elk

[sudden matrix]

Bro, this build is cursed.

[split meadow]

Idk not good w this build things

[sudden matrix]

Yeah, it's all good cause your new to the game. Building takes lots of knowledge to get there.

[split meadow]

Ye

[tiny stump]

its normal. most of us start off being terrible w builds for a good while

[split meadow]

Ye you know good builds? For assault rifles?

[sudden matrix]

This is a good start if you want to look for good builds.

[marsh tundra]

just go for a striker build

easiest build to make and good dps

[split meadow]

The what

[marsh tundra]

striker gear set

[split meadow]

Oh

[marsh tundra]

the green pieces

[split meadow]

Oki all of striker mask etc full that?

[sudden matrix]

Striker build guide is in that link I sent.

[marsh tundra]

no, only 4, with chest and backpack

go to the guide you got linked

[split meadow]

Chest and backpack

[sudden matrix]

You should probably start with reading all the talents. Gear sets only have 4 pc bonus, and chest and backpacks always have talents even the gear sets which usually modify how the gear set bonus works.

[crude shell]

Hey guys, after the latest updates, has the completion of the sections that the control point and the weekly stronghold and the black tuskin have captured been fixed, I wonder if the last time we played, it looked like it was not played, did anyone have any information, has this problem been fixed?

[plucky hawk]

In terms of trying to answer your original question, are you looking at the damage number next to your gun, or the actual damage numbers your seeing when you hit things?

[split meadow]

No I make a class etc I play w the class 30 min later gun deamge is lower

[pseudo tundra]

you mean specializations? each one you can select a gun to deal extra 15%

[rugged stratus]

I'm just gonna chalk this up to bad build. There really isnt any coherent planning, at all.
Idk how you could be getting lower damage when it's already in the basement...
Follow the guide suggested for much better results.

Headhunter eagleburger not cutting it

[pale bear]

for weekly shd req project my donate junk to project button is greyed out? is this normal

[marsh tundra]

you dont have enough mats ?

[rugged stratus]

When you look at the project, what does it show that's no complete (partial donation)?

Food/components/water all have big plots around lincoln memorial

[summer canyon]

Those are getting fixed on TU 21.2

[rugged stratus]

just logged and saw what you were talking about. donate all junk isnt something that works in that screen afaik. just use the donate button all the way to the left.

[shut needle]

When is 21.2 live?

[odd condor]

whenever they release the patch, as they haven't shared a release date

[valid bronze]

We need to update that pvp link....

[sudden matrix]

Talk to ya boi then.

[summer canyon]

How many projects I need to finish to craft Ridgeway's Pride? I'm almost done with the first one (Gatherer).

[tulip fiber]

Once you’ve got all of the exotic components, finish floor 100 of Summit. Turn in the components at WH, I believe, can’t remember, then you need to do one more. It consists of named faction bosses, rogue agents and (non countdown) hunters.

[soft inlet]

does anybody know how much damage is needed to 1 shot buddy and lucy? ive got the build but havent been able to test it out yet

[plucky hawk]

I don't know exactly off the top of my head, but Lucy is roughly 200m, buddy is like 250-300m

[soft inlet]

okay good, i was doing testing with my friend in the range and i hit for about 450m. however though ive heard the firing range doesnt give accurate numbers all the time

dont have regulus yet so im going the flatline d50/optimist d50 method

[regal summit]

Yea, blb numbers are higher for me in the range than they are in the raid

Do flatline d50

Better than optimist

[soft inlet]

so far this is the build im running

[regal summit]

250 is enough for buddy

Looks alright, try foxes instead of grupo knees though

[soft inlet]

ofc swap BLB for d50

[soft inlet]

will give it a shot

[regal summit]

Are you running hsd on all pieces?

[soft inlet]

yes

[sudden matrix]

Regulus?

[soft inlet]

dont have that yet 😦

[plucky hawk]

Also run technician. Sharpshooter doesn't give you anything and the damage to drones/robotics applies to buddy/Lucy

[sudden matrix]

Oh... yeah D50 should do then.

[soft inlet]

thank you! didnt know that

[sudden matrix]

As long as you don't fudge up your pistol swap by still holding a skill and no one shoots your mark it should be pretty easy. If you have means to screen cap it'll really help in figuring out what happened too.

[soft inlet]

typically how i do the pistol swap thing is just hold a grenade and then move over to the pistol depicted in the screenshot

wrong pistol selected oops. thats why my damage was only 50 million lol

[sudden matrix]

I just know tons of people let DCH stack up and then forget to swap back to their pistol before going into inventory to swap.

You need the BLB in your hand before doing the inventory swap.

[soft inlet]

that too

[sudden matrix]

It'll become habit, just gotta make it a habit.

So no habs backpack yet I take it?

[junior sequoia]

Or when people think that DCH will activate pistol determined (doesn't work if the "headshot damage" from the DCH isn't on the head for some reason)

[soft inlet]

not yet unfortunately, if i did i would do habs backpack and then walker gloves or so

or contractor's

[regal summit]

Contractors, if you had habs bp

[soft inlet]

hopefully one day i do find a habs backpack with the right rolls. its rolling off that armor core thats going to be mandatory 💀

[regal summit]

Yea, just hsd and vigilance is all you need really

The second minor attribute isn't that important tbh

[sudden matrix]

I'd probably go contractors anyway, 8% DTA as a single source means 8% more damage.

[wispy merlin]

uhhhhh ackchually it's just 8% more damage to the armor pa-

🤓

[sudden matrix]

Yeah but on these bosses that like what 99% of the EHP.

[tiny stump]

damn i missed getting a pic of my shd 5000 milestone

[wispy merlin]

you got 5555 next

[tiny stump]

oh yea. even better

[turbid igloo]

How does the negotiator thing work again

[marsh tundra]

negotiator's dilemma ?

[turbid igloo]

Correct

[marsh tundra]

it works on crits, anytime you crit it mark the enemy

anytime you crit an enemy, the other marked target take damage

imagine you crit the boss and 2 minions, you then shoot the boss a lot, the minions will die from the crit damage

[turbid igloo]

So you damage both at the same time?

[marsh tundra]

you can damage 3 targets at the same time

[turbid igloo]

Damn

[marsh tundra]

or 5 with the talent

[turbid igloo]

That's good for crowd control

[marsh tundra]

no its good for aoe

or multi target focus

[turbid igloo]

Aoe is almost crowd control tho

I mean, the more the better

[marsh tundra]

crowd control refer to disabling the enemy

like with foam, blind, shock, etc

[turbid igloo]

Break their spine?

I mean It works too but uh

Idk If you can do that

[marsh tundra]

no

[turbid igloo]

Ok

[abstract hornet]

Why is the division one not avalible anymore?

[true siren]

you need the Div1 role

[abstract hornet]

ok

thanks

[narrow kraken]

Why doesn’t the the division 2 have cross platform play?

[marsh tundra]

too hard to do and balance

[turbid igloo]

@marsh tundra in 2 mins i did a negotiator build and it's pretty good

[marsh tundra]

gj

its a fun gameplay with this build

[slim elk]

tl;dr something involving the game's architecture

[narrow kraken]

Alright

Game engine limitations and balancing between mouse and keyboard probably

[marsh tundra]

maybe div 3 will have that

[narrow kraken]

The Division 3 will come out in 8 years

[marsh tundra]

if you're lucky

[narrow kraken]

Yeah

[marsh tundra]

[narrow kraken]

This game has a pretty small active player base

[marsh tundra]

yep, but dedicated

[narrow kraken]

Yeah

[marsh tundra]

thoses who love division really LOVE division

[narrow kraken]

Dedicated and Loyal to Ubisoft

[marsh tundra]

i wouldnt say loyal to ubi

they arent even loyal to devs lol

[narrow kraken]

They finally managed to fix the broken sounds

[slim elk]

We love Ubi

[narrow kraken]

Ubisoft is a french gaming company

[marsh tundra]

ye

nobody likes france

especially me

cause sadly i am one of thoses

[zenith galleon]

What's the best exotic farm

[marsh tundra]

depends on the exotic

[slim elk]

CD requisition = exotic caches
Summit Floor 10/90 Farming
GE stars to buy caches
Control points with the right TL

[marsh tundra]

some exotics wont drop in certain zones, some will drop only in dz or raid, some need to have a quest done, etc

[slim elk]

Any exotic except: Regulus, Ravenous, Ouroboros and Eagle Bearer.

[marsh tundra]

also chatterbox, nemesis, etc

[zenith galleon]

Can I get st elmos engine doing them?

[marsh tundra]

yes

[zenith galleon]

Okay thanks

[rugged stratus]

hands down, its countdown farming. exo cache roughly every 30 mins (2 runs) + whatever drops from the target loot during the match

[narrow kraken]

Raids: Eagle Bearer, Regulus, The Ravenous
Incursion: Ouroboros
Exotic Quests: Regulus, Nemesis, Liberty, Ridgeway's Pride, Dodge City Holster
Vendor Purchases: Vindicator
Challenge Rewards: Capacitor
Legendary Activities: The Bighorn
Targeted Loot in Countdown, Summit, Open-World: All exotics in the game except the raid, incursion, and vendor ones

[narrow kraken]

Is this true?

[valid bronze]

No catharsis is locked to exotic caches (until you have the blueprint)

Not sure on rugged gauntlets or collector

[narrow kraken]

Alright

[willow gale]

not like anyone is looking for those anyways

[novel plank]

rugged gauntlets and mosquito are two exotics that should just be named high end pieces of gear

[slim elk]

general loot pool, no need for blueprints or anything

[tough marsh]

More like grey-tier

[kindred ice]

Hello
Is there any differences between G36 (assault rifle) variants & SASG (shotgun) variants? Thanks

[cedar schooner]

The G36c doesn't have a Long rail. There might be some handling differences too.

As for the SASGs, I'm not sure off hand, but they all have the same damage, there could be a difference in mods as well though.

[lament bison]

Whats the best way to lvl up from 30 to 40? I've done a couple invaded missions on hard difficulty but only got 2 levels.

[cedar schooner]

DZ seems to be the best option when solo. Getting carried through quick missions is the quickest if you have a group or at least one level 40

[lament bison]

Oh no, not the dz again

[cedar schooner]

It’s not that bad tbh

[lament bison]

Well... Seems to be the only option I got then. I even tried joining a clan member on heroic open world, but I just got deleted faster than legendary 🥲

[cedar schooner]

Like you joined and just died quickly?

[lament bison]

Yeah, I die with 3 or 4 shots.

[cedar schooner]

Yeah you have to be carried lol

[novel plank]

what are all the exotics on the wall in the shooting range?

[kind cove]

New bug?

[summer canyon]

IIRC, exotics you get from the base game and Year 1 are put on the wall in the shooting range.

[sudden matrix]

Have Havens too

[marsh tundra]

i cant have bluescreen cause its bugged :(

and i still havent dropped eagle bearer after 10 raids

havent done iron horse yet

luck isnt on my side

[sudden matrix]

You never do it with a full group where everyone can open for you?

[marsh tundra]

some other member dropped it but they needed it

[unreal prawn]

I am on pc and there's no option for on screen keyboard to turn back on

[novel plank]

ive had three drop from caches in the last week or two

[marsh tundra]

i dont think thats an option at all

[marsh tundra]

yeah but i cant drop it, i dont have blueprint

[novel plank]

odd, i got it before i had the blueprint i think

[marsh tundra]

no you need blueprint to drop it

[glossy nymph]

Yo, so I'm looking for some help

[marsh tundra]

what kind of help

[glossy nymph]

Steam discussions I ain't really getting anywhere with and when I asked in game I was only met with Chinese bots, broken English about what hunters are and a random insult from a whisper...

Hunters in DC and NY

[marsh tundra]

just ask your question

[glossy nymph]

Killed em before years ago back on PS4 but haven't fought the NY hunters before, looking for a team to help deal with them for the F2000 and black gear dye

Years ago learnt if the host is a new agent the hunters are easier to kill

[marsh tundra]

thats not the right channel for that

go in #lfg-pc

also new agent dont make hunters easier to kill

only world difficulty matter

[glossy nymph]

Idk, back on PS4 when I was a low level and my friend joined me the hunters were weaker

We didn't touch world difficulty before or after

Just no way am I fighting them solo

[marsh tundra]

you can def handle them solo

just play on normal difficulty

[glossy nymph]

They ain't easy to deal with in my experience

[nimble spruce]

scorpio makes them easy, although I'd say it's still worth bringing a friend or two when dealing with the group of 4

[marsh tundra]

i mean they arent as easy as a red bar, but lmot of people kill them solo

[glossy nymph]

They mimic players and are tough bastards

[marsh tundra]

if you need people go in the chan i linked

[nimble spruce]

but the NY ones take a lot of setting up, so you probably don't want to go inviting help until you've done most of the stages and are ready to summon them

[glossy nymph]

Oh jeeze really?

[sudden matrix]

100% hunters on normal diff are a joke.

[marsh tundra]

yeah, some puzzle are super long and annoying

like for real you will spend 95% of the time on the puzzle, 5% of the time killing them

[glossy nymph]

Certainly sound more like pushovers then last I played

[civic forge]

How do I get the collector

[glossy nymph]

Unless you're talking about with builds and exotics equipped

Because we didn't fight them with any of that

[marsh tundra]

i remember we fought hunters back in the day with shit gear lol

[nimble spruce]

there has been a lot of power creep in the last few yeras, and it's quick and easy these days to get a strong endgame build that can handle heroic with ease

[glossy nymph]

I'm surprised how easy they are, I remember checking guides and teams of four were getting dominated by just two hunters half the time back then

[marsh tundra]

well people were bad back then

now we know how to abuse them

[nimble spruce]

Normal difficulty hunters still hit hard compared to heroic enemies but they die way quicker

[marsh tundra]

yeah

tbh i dont do heroic hunters, there is no point

they behave the same but are just bags of hp

[glossy nymph]

Hm...

Other then masks and keys do they drop anything else important?

Exotics?

Sounds like people go back to fighting them

[sudden matrix]

Once you've cleared a hunter you can't spawn them again. You'd need to be in someones session where they haven't~~ spawned ~~ cleared them yet.

[glossy nymph]

Ah

[nimble spruce]

nope

[rugged stratus]

I think full black gear dye. Not sure if its ny or DC tho

[glossy nymph]

NY

DC gets you an F2000

I wonder though, when should I open that ivory chest?

[rugged stratus]

Whenever

If completed hunters you'll be able to open it for every new agent as well (keys will be at case)

[glossy nymph]

I mean like should I open it at 40 or like in a world difficulty so it's at it's best?

Just wondering is all

[rugged stratus]

I would open at 40. I dont think difficulty makes a difference

[glossy nymph]

Aight

[normal ember]

grand Washington hotel has a chance to be invaded or no?

[tiny stump]

yeah

[nimble spruce]

a new chance each week, but the invaded missions are the same for everyone

is everyone else finding that missions keep defaulting to no directives, regardless of open world settings?

[marsh tundra]

really ? i thought rotation was the same for everyone

oh

i misread mb im stoopid

[civic forge]

How do I get the collector chest

[cedar yacht]

the same as any other exotic

[desert copper]

Ay up anyone know if they have fixed the control points issue and the invaded missions issues thabks

[nimble spruce]

they have not

[desert copper]

Don't suprise me thanks tho bro

[novel plank]

is kenly college soloable?

[wispy merlin]

yes

[novel plank]

whats the difficulty like?

[valid bronze]

Is it out?

[novel plank]

yessirr

[valid bronze]

Ooo

[marsh tundra]

kenly is out ?

damn im gonna do that tomorrow

[novel plank]

yep

never been this bored doing a mission

running in circles: the mission

[marsh tundra]

yeah

but i like it

tbh i dont even understand why its aviable on such short period, why not have it all the time ?

[slim elk]

heya, what's your opinion on hotshot? you never said if you liked it or not, just wondering

[marsh tundra]

Hot shot is fine

For solo build it's pretty good

[novel plank]

oh, yknow i completely forgot you were gonna send that to me and i just saw it! ive been playing with some buddies this afternoon, and ive got so many builds to look at atm, but ill check out your clip maybe tmmrw when im farming some stuff

[novel plank]

after an hour and a half, im finally finished. so bored

diamondback lowkey kinda slaps

[lament bison]

Aight, got my character to lvl 40. When should I buy the shared account blueprints? If I don't spend the rest of the points will it be possible to use then later after buying it?

Sent it in the wrong channel

[slim elk]

Whenever you want tbh

Yeah, pretty much

[lament bison]

I thought I should do something else. Like, getting everything before doing it but its fine.

Ty

I was jusr worried, it was the most boring grind I've ever done ngl

[rugged stratus]

Tbh if you spent points to fill materials before buying the shared blueprints, you would possibly be overcap on mats and be leaving drops on the ground.
Always save till you absolutely need something

[lament bison]

Yeah, I got like 5k steel and ceramics, cuz I was super short on it. I'm trynna get the courier bp with status/haste

[rugged stratus]

eclipse cc build?

[slim cliff]

hey everyone i have a question

[mellow trout]

Eternal tedium

[lament bison]

I do want to set the world on fire. 🔥

[rugged stratus]

you want the eclipse bag for fire 😎 .
but for cc creeping is good. i was gonna suggest if the build is for teams and you use scorpio , you should consider opportunistic as well. kinda stacks some amps for the team between survivalist/scorpio/opp

[valid bronze]

@rugged stratus best CP to farm?

[rugged stratus]

sleeping giant. outcasts and very close to safehouse

[valid bronze]

thanks

[slim elk]

if you don't mind helmets I'd suggest sinkhole, up to you

[narrow kraken]

What do you guys think of a Division 1 kind of JTF? They got more armor - and not just a tee shirt and UCP pants and combat boots. Also they have helmets....

I'd think that kind of JTF would be better suited for div 2

[clever monolith]

If i already have both raid exotics, what other loot can i get from doing the raids?

[inner tendon]

@clever monolith The bosses drop some specific blueprints, always worth farming out just in case.

[regal summit]

Do you have regulus already?

[clever monolith]

not yet

[median garnet]

assuming both builds are the same how many more bullets would it take to kill someone with full expertise 26 on armor vs someone that has 0 (dz)

[fallow inlet]

Hey Local, Rivens

[blazing timber]

Hey Saph salute from the 5.11 Squad

[fallow inlet]

Good morning Ducks

[marsh tundra]

depends on the build, doesnt matter if its the same

[lusty gate]

anyone know why the weekly project clan didnt work?

[valid bronze]

Incursion bosses drop the same blueprints now as well

[sudden matrix]

Yeah incursion is goated yo. If you can find a group to do runs in like 10-12 minutes it's a much better farm than CPs for blueprints.

[minor schooner]

Is there a website showing effective builds?

All these youtube videos are 40 minutes long and vague. Reddit posts just show pictures, not the preferred attributes and such

[summer canyon]

There is. Check pinned in #td2-build-advice

[cedar schooner]

To elaborate on the above message, there’s a pinned spreadsheet with Evernote guides for any builds you’d need. And if you have a build in mind and are just curious what attributes you need we can totally answer that.

[rugged stratus]

What's good Saph

[fallow inlet]

Started 1st descendents

[indigo nimbus]

so whats hypotheticall best way to get exotics?

[slim elk]

Non-raids don't enter.
Countdown is the best option of all times

[indigo nimbus]

man im gonna struggle getting ouroboros.

[slim elk]

at Incursion, yeah, but it's easy if you get a group that can carry you in less than 10 minutes

[indigo nimbus]

hopefully I can find one in here once I reach level 40

[slim elk]

Get a basic Striker's build and you'll be fine

[indigo nimbus]

...can you aid me with one

like what should I get and how do I get stuff for it?

[sudden matrix]

He xbox...

[indigo nimbus]

oh.

I meant the build

like what stuff do I get for the build.

[wispy merlin]

striker

[median garnet]

farming cd you’ll get exotics fast, i got 2 st elmos before i even hit 20shd

[sudden matrix]

Strikers build guide

[wispy merlin]

stikers

[indigo nimbus]

thanks

[slim elk]

yeah, sorry...

[indigo nimbus]

nah Its fine, I just need the general items I should get for build

[wispy merlin]

souless, we gonna carry this man tomorrow?

[sudden matrix]

This Rotor bladed guy and I will probably carry some people in the incursion tomorrow tho.

[indigo nimbus]

cant, not even level 40 yet.

[wispy merlin]

i am so rotor jaded by this comment

[indigo nimbus]

sorry

[sudden matrix]

ez man

[slim elk]

Vlad, I'm jealous you have Dien on your side.

[indigo nimbus]

whag

[wispy merlin]

who's dien?

[indigo nimbus]

im trying my best......

[slim elk]

rotor

[sudden matrix]

If you aren't 40 yet just say the word and boom ez.

[wispy merlin]

mr. souless knows incursion inside out

[indigo nimbus]

uhh... the word

[sudden matrix]

Now?

[indigo nimbus]

I mean if you are avaliable im down

[sudden matrix]

I'll DM you okay.

[indigo nimbus]

aye.

[wispy merlin]

idk who that is

[slim elk]

the legendary man

[wispy merlin]

@verbal topaz ?

[slim elk]

I like Chamaleon Deconstructer

[wispy merlin]

@valid bronze you heard him

[marsh tundra]

how does the tdi kard custom skill tier bonus work ?

[regal summit]

When you are holding the pistol, you've got an additional skill tier

It's mostly used for reviver hives, where you can switch to pistol, gaining an additional charge and then throw it out. You can then swap back and pick it back up

[marsh tundra]

ok

[indigo nimbus]

very important question

do I buy the ✨ bahama shorts ✨

[marsh tundra]

obviously

[slim elk]

why the f do I still read stuff with a zesty voice

[valid bronze]

?

[wispy merlin]

you the chameleon deconstructor

[valid bronze]

I am

[prime grail]

I remember playing division 2 awhile back 3 years ago when my main Account got banned and I was at the mall trying to pick up a new game at GameStop when I stumbled across the division 2 and I met a lot of great people back then but now I got my main account back and my second account ran out of ps plus so im gonna start division 2 on the main so my question is division 2 worth playin in 2024

[slim elk]

yes it is

[prime grail]

But do I need warlords of New York dlc too

I remember buying that too

[slim elk]

not anymore

if you want the Rogue skills, you need it

[prime grail]

Ah ok

[verbal topaz]

I will delete this guy existence if he was on PC

[rancid sequoia]

how does one farm floor 90 summit just kill everything save 1 and die to it?

[slim elk]

you talking bout me?

[slim elk]

Reach floor 90.
Get the first boss and kill it, get the second one and don't kill ads except if you're vulnerable, and kill it, repeat with the third one > pick up loot > Fast travel to lobby > repeat process.

[fringe valve]

Anyone know how much damage is needed to break Heavy's helmet on last phase of IH?

[slim elk]

I've done Incursion so many times and don't get why my group's failing to kill Martinez every single time.
We get the Kid, focus on Johnson and try to do little DPS to Martinez at the same time.
We're 3 Striker's - two basic Elmo's and one Oreo with BK - and our healer. It's either the healer runs out of charges, Johnson deploys a second Kid, getting nuked with mortars or EMP'd.
What are we doing wrong?
Every single time we kill J but not being able to go less than 2 armor bars on Mtz.

We seriously need help as we were stuck at the Lovebirds for 4 hours straight.

I have oreo and they don't, so we need 3 drops. I have a second character just in case it doesn't drop.

[cedar schooner]

Hopefully your healer is proccing Sledge, other than that I’d recommend one of your Elmo players swap to a Scorpio and let the healer focus on Sledge, not always necessary, but it could be helpful.

As for the damage phases, I’d double check Raucey’s video if you haven’t, and make sure you’re switching DPS between bosses at the right time, you might be focusing Johnson to much, then you don’t have the DPS to deal with Martinez.

[sudden matrix]

imo this is a stacking issue(should always be ACS stacking martinez and be fully stacked before killing drone) or people have striker builds with blues or PFE or something that puts you under the amount of DPS needed for a clean 1 phase. The other things would be sledge used near the entire time, also deployed skills during OC those being scanner, booster, and if you can a firewall shield(having 1 firewall in the group is gonna give 10% amp to the other three so it's good anyway). Link to mentioned Raucey vid

[zenith galleon]

Do directives increase exotic drop rates or is it just difficulty

[sudden matrix]

Kinda yes and no. Directives will increase your TL drops rates, TL loot has about a 1% chance to be exotic, but it wont increase it on your normally dropped loot.

[latent nebula]

Can bighorn drop from countdown?

[tiny stump]

no

legendary summit yes

[marsh tundra]

i went to do a dz drop, i burst down the boss quick and then every single npc around dropped dead ???

wtf happenned there, did they die of cringe ?

[slim elk]

I'll have to tell them this and check their builds.

[slim elk]

Well shi, I thought I was running Firewall the entire time but seems I had Gunner 🥹

[summer canyon]

Some hacker came and killed em all. Had that happen to me when I played DZ West yesterday

[marsh tundra]

too bad they dont drop loot

[tiny stump]

i just noticed that the optimal range muzzle attachment does a cool thing to the muzzle flash

[neat steppe]

i’m in north america 🤦🏾‍♂️

[heady stirrup]

Is there a list of skills that Hunters/The Nemesis can hack?

[summer canyon]

Drones/Hives/Turrets as far as I know

Oh and Seeker Mines

[heady stirrup]

What about cluster seeker mines?

Since it's not one big skill like those others

[summer canyon]

No idea, I haven't tried that one against a Hunter

[inner tendon]

It's generally understood to be "deployable skills". With exceptions of course.

It also mostly requires LoS (line of sight) so you can do some wacky things.

[rugged stratus]

anything deployable they can hack. sticky bombs/chem/shield/traps/decoy are safe. i think everything else can be hacked

you would be safe using the passive buff of an artificer hive as long as not deployed. probably ok with a revive hive as well

[heady stirrup]

got it, thank you

[marsh tundra]

every skill that exist materially, so not pulse or chem launcher for example

[heady stirrup]

How long can I be AFK in descent before I’m kicked?

[wispy merlin]

same as outside, 15m

[heady stirrup]

Got it

[latent nebula]

Is operation Iron Horse hard? I've never done a raid before so I don't really know if its too long and hard

[cedar schooner]

It’s not hard if you have an experienced group. If you’re FTC as a group it’s pretty difficult in my experience.

[marsh tundra]

ih is unforgiving

[peak plume]

Yall ever actually have any luck in the LFG for iron horse? Been wanting to get the regulus for a couple years now and never had a group to do it with.

[cedar schooner]

Personally no tbh, but you should be able to find a group open to FTCs

[indigo nimbus]

whats the best way to farm for striker gear, like whats the best floor, 10 or 90?

[marsh tundra]

no floor is better, countdown is better if you wanna farm gear

with Targeted loot

[indigo nimbus]

fairs

ty

[novel plank]

whats the drop chance for oreo from the bosses?

[cedar schooner]

1%

[indigo nimbus]

oh yeah also whats the best way to get e-credits?

[indigo nimbus]

whats an oreo?

[cedar schooner]

Bounties?

[indigo nimbus]

ohh.

[cedar schooner]

Ouroboros

No one actually knows how to spell it so we say ouro or Oreo

[indigo nimbus]

another problem: how do I get bounties

[indigo nimbus]

I mean I get worchestshire sauce but how.

[cedar schooner]

Public executions generally

[indigo nimbus]

so just outside activities

[novel plank]

i say it just because its funny to me lol

[indigo nimbus]

that is respectable.

[cedar schooner]

No just public executions

[novel plank]

i can say and spell it either way, oreo is just faster and funnier

#bigback

[indigo nimbus]

guess im running around washington

[indigo nimbus]

yeah excuse me, I just recently finished entire story.

[novel plank]

you’re fine lol, youll catch on

for e credits, a really quick way is scavenging points

[indigo nimbus]

scavenging points

[novel plank]

yea

[indigo nimbus]

oh right the watch

[novel plank]

yep

[indigo nimbus]

problem is I need like 60k (upgrading the bench)

[marsh tundra]

just olkay the gale

[novel plank]

you should be farming for builds right now, run some countdown and you’ll level up quick

youll have 6 points in no time

[indigo nimbus]

waiting for a friend so Ican get into countdown

[cedar schooner]

Countdown is a good loot farm but not xp farm tbh

[indigo nimbus]

btw is saint elmos any good? I just got it from a cache

[indigo nimbus]

eh, helps me get the striker gear down

[novel plank]

YES.

[cedar schooner]

Overrated but very easy to use

[novel plank]

if he just got the watch and has never played before, itll be good until he probably hits 50

[indigo nimbus]

whats better tho?

[novel plank]

oreo

[indigo nimbus]

well yeah but its like

10% weekly or so

[marsh tundra]

elmo is fine

[cedar schooner]

FAMAS/F2000

[novel plank]

debatable

[indigo nimbus]

debatable

[marsh tundra]

use elmo its good until you fine something else you like

[novel plank]

id personally stick with elmo until you get oreo if you plan to use a strikers build

[indigo nimbus]

btw can I get oreo outside of weekly crates from incursion?

[novel plank]

no

[cedar schooner]

What do you want out of an AR

[novel plank]

incursion only

[indigo nimbus]

I meant incursion bosses

do they have a % to drop oreo

[marsh tundra]

1%

[novel plank]

elmos is consistent, solid fire rate, and the shock rounds are a nice bonus. the accuracy is really nice as well

[indigo nimbus]

huh.

1% isnt that bad ngl.

[marsh tundra]

it is not great

[indigo nimbus]

but not that bad also.

[marsh tundra]

especially if you dont have a good group

if you got a group its fine

[novel plank]

on paper yes, its not bad compared to the raid exotic drop chance in the dz, which iirc is like .07

[indigo nimbus]

btw do yall have this odd luck where if it isnt under 1% you get it from like first or third try?

[novel plank]

i wish

[rugged stratus]

can also use scavenging points 1pt=10k credits

[indigo nimbus]

wait can ppl drop me their oreo if they already have one or na

[novel plank]

my rng sucks in this game

[marsh tundra]

y

[indigo nimbus]

wb outside of scavenging

[novel plank]

if they get one while in your incursion group, yes

[rugged stratus]

that was already answered

[indigo nimbus]

1 time it works well
then it never works right

[indigo nimbus]

that is rather convenient

[novel plank]

yea

[cedar schooner]

Consistently not as good isn’t super great lol. You can get more damage or more utility out of a HE AR in most scenarios.

[novel plank]

good thing to do is farm it with people who already have oreo

people sleep on elmos shock rounds

[indigo nimbus]

70 rounds.....

yum.

[marsh tundra]

elmo is good for the mag

[novel plank]

whats your roll on it?

[cedar schooner]

60 with f2000?

[indigo nimbus]

health and armor damage

[rugged stratus]

ill keep my laser 😎

[indigo nimbus]

or do you mean just attribute

[novel plank]

not bad

[indigo nimbus]

core is 17% dmg to health and normal is 6% to armor

[cedar schooner]

😴 really just useful for the ammo regen IMO, I’d rather have something like preservation or Future perfect

[indigo nimbus]

now to get coyotes mask..

[novel plank]

if you were on xbx id help out buttttt

[indigo nimbus]

no no, its fine

[novel plank]

helpful tip though, getting into endgame is much easier with other people

[indigo nimbus]

do you mean like past level 40 or to 40?

[novel plank]

past 40, but even before it it can be helpful

past 40 its so much easier if you have someone with you who doesn’t particularly need to farm for their own gear to help you get pieces you need

[indigo nimbus]

I honestly dont know what to say cause its obvious that I agree

imagine TD2 crossplay.

[novel plank]

thats a dream

[wispy merlin]

a pipe one too

[indigo nimbus]

true.

but a wish none the less.

[indigo nimbus]

Btw how do I get attributes and perks on tinkering station?

[cedar schooner]

Find gear with the attributes you want, then look in the library and extract them

[indigo nimbus]

Ok ty.

[marsh tundra]

why does the subtitles says hellfire in dialogue but the title says wright in thoses audio ?

ok also wtf is going on right now

[tawny schooner]

Hey guys im a returning d2 player and im looking to grind for the striker set but i dont see it on the map? Any other idea to find it?

[slim elk]

Challenging Countdown with Striker's as TL (Targeted Loot).

[mellow trout]

His codename is hellfire

[tawny schooner]

Ok thank you

[sudden matrix]

There are more brand sets/gear sets, weapons, mods and such for them to all be on the map everyday. Regardless I'd still go with the countdown recommendation.

[summer canyon]

I'd imagine they were gonna call him Hellfire, but they forgot to change that last minute

[inner tendon]

Hellfire sounds more like a codename and Wright an actual surname.
If that is what is happening.

[narrow kraken]

Guys can exotics drop from incursions?

[cedar schooner]

Yes

[marsh tundra]

yes i dropped a coyote mask yesterday

• ouro on the same loot drop lol

[narrow kraken]

No way you got a Coyote Mask and Ouroboros from Incursions

[mellow trout]

The crate drops a guaranteed exotic with ouro as a chance based added bonus

[marsh tundra]

i did, from the crate at the end

[narrow kraken]

That’s nutty

[narrow kraken]

Is the exotic pool drop good?

[mellow trout]

normal

anything in your exo loot pool can drop

[burnt geyser]

do rogues in mission hack skills? idk if im changing for the chem launcher for no reason

[cedar schooner]

I don't think so, should only be keener and Hunters tbh

[burnt geyser]

thanks

[indigo nimbus]

whats the best difficulty for countdown where it isnt too tedious to do but also gives good rewards?

[cedar schooner]

Challenging

[indigo nimbus]

ty

[marsh tundra]

heroic gives the same drop but better cd currency

also summit is good

[indigo nimbus]

I mean im looking for both coyote mask and strikers

[marsh tundra]

coyote you can try jefferson center

else just target mask i guess

[indigo nimbus]

also on challenging?

[marsh tundra]

ye

[indigo nimbus]

I think that CD is better atm since I can both get caches and gear, but if I get the striker stuff I need then ill just move onto jefferson

[marsh tundra]

iirc it has a slightly better drop on coyote boss

yeah cd is good enough

[indigo nimbus]

oh btw what are the good skills for PVE?

[marsh tundra]

pve = rez hive + whatever you like

tbh you should run cd

at least if you dont get coyote mask you still get other exo

[indigo nimbus]

what would be your preference of whatever you like?

like striker drone, holo..

[marsh tundra]

i like pulse

make everything clear so i know where to go and shoot

and i dont get flanked by surprise

otherwise striker shield is nice

everything else is ok if you like playing it

rez hive is mandatory tho

(as a solo player)

if you're in group, depends what your group need

[indigo nimbus]

guess im working on getting the firewall.

[marsh tundra]

not needed

i mean the other shield

the one that let you use a gun

forgot the name

but if you're full dps build its not great

[indigo nimbus]

crusader

[marsh tundra]

ye this one

[indigo nimbus]

then whats the best specialization for solo or solo queing

[marsh tundra]

gunner imo

[narrow kraken]

Anyone have any tips on how to get Matchmaking to work in Div 2; I just installed the game, wen't into a mission, started matchmaking and the thing just spins around for a 1/2 hour

[marsh tundra]

you wont get anyone joining until endgame, everybody is already lvl 40

you can just clear the game solo dw its not hard

[narrow kraken]

WTF I can't say f**k in Discord?

[marsh tundra]

yeah most nono words are blocked

cause u know, kids

[narrow kraken]

Oh ffs....ohhhh ok yeah alright fair enough I guess but ya know all the games are killin people and shiteee but that's ok.

[narrow kraken]

Ok so back to the game what I said that got blocked was you gotta be freakin kidding me it'll take months before I get to level 40

[marsh tundra]

not really

lvling is pretty easy and fast

[narrow kraken]

Which not really that it won't take months?

Ohhh ok how long you figure if I'm not being a slacker?

[marsh tundra]

the entire campaing can be done in a single day without rushing, and at the end you're lvl 30 already

then there is the new york campaing that will get you 40

its to let you discover the missions before going tryhard mode

[narrow kraken]

Yeah but I haven't gamed in a long time and I suck so what would take a guy a day would probably take me a week but that's still not terrible

[marsh tundra]

you dont need to be good, as i said, not rushing will get you there quick enough

[narrow kraken]

Yeah but it would be cool to play with other dudes so you leran that's what I was thinkin

Cool

[marsh tundra]

they do, but nobody else is plying at your lvl right now

when the game came out, everybody was playing in squads

but its been 6years now

[narrow kraken]

Ohhh so it's not the game locking me out from other players it's the players choosing to play with only players on their level

Yeah I know it's an old game fair enough

[marsh tundra]

yes, you cant be place with lvl40 players

[narrow kraken]

Ohhh

[marsh tundra]

that would not make sense

[narrow kraken]

Yeah that makes sense

I haven't gamed all that much in the last damn 10 years

A ton of stuff's changed

[marsh tundra]

well, this game is a black hole for your life, so be prepared xd

when you finish the campaing, you'll discover the endgame, and how insanely infinite the possibilities are

[narrow kraken]

Will it actually give some kind of notice that you're at the "end game"

[marsh tundra]

discover the game, the city, the skills, the missions, etc, take your time, enjoy the game, even solo its very much enjoyable

[marsh tundra]

yes, once you're done with new york you should hit lvl40, then the real grind begin, and it shows

instead of lvl on your characters, you'll get lvl on your watch

which are infinite

[narrow kraken]

Ok cool. I grew up with Quake II and Half Life so coming back to gaming is a culture shock

[indigo nimbus]

you can always ask for some help to get boosted

[marsh tundra]

dont do that if you discover the game for the first time tho

[valid bronze]

More than happy to help with the harder content once you are lvl 40

[marsh tundra]

but yeah you could

[indigo nimbus]

I personally did the story first.

[marsh tundra]

yeah story is really cool to discover

[indigo nimbus]

dlc is better imo

[marsh tundra]

yeah obv

[indigo nimbus]

more interesting

[narrow kraken]

Do do what Lyfe?

[marsh tundra]

?

[narrow kraken]

Lyfe: dont do that if you discover the game for the first time tho

[marsh tundra]

getting boosted

[narrow kraken]

What's boosted?

[marsh tundra]

someone take you on their world, and you gain as much xp as them, but since you're lvl1, you will get 5 lvl per mission at least

or something like that

but its pretty bad cause you will not be able to play the game

[narrow kraken]

And you're saying don't do that

[indigo nimbus]

aka ask someone to do lincoln memorial for you like 3-4 times if youre level 31

[indigo nimbus]

yeah dont do that until you experience story yourself

[marsh tundra]

yeah, dont do that, if you're discovering the game, do it clean the first time

otherwise the game will be super bad to experience

[narrow kraken]

Understood

[narrow kraken]

Ok I will

How old are you guys?

[marsh tundra]

35 next month

[narrow kraken]

WTF? You're my age Lyfe lol

I'm 37

[marsh tundra]

haha

[narrow kraken]

I thought you guys were all young

[marsh tundra]

most div players are kinda old

this is not the type of game for young audiences

[narrow kraken]

No sh*t, I would have thought they'd be younger

[indigo nimbus]

not that old.

[narrow kraken]

I was in GTA V and you would thing there wouldn't be any 14 year old in there and it was full of them

Lol Vlad

[narrow kraken]

Vlad's like "you dudes are old"

Yeah well it's a short disntance from 18 to 37

[indigo nimbus]

not that short but your call.

[marsh tundra]

yeah its like double xd

[narrow kraken]

Yeah it's all relative, when your 18 you don't think so then when you get there you look back and say damn that was quick. It's a thing

Right Lyfe?

[marsh tundra]

true

life going by pretty fast as you age

but thats becuse jobs and responsibilities are a pain

[narrow kraken]

Exactly and dudes I've talked to that are older say it gets worse

[marsh tundra]

tbh

i prefer my 30s over my 20s

i was dumb back then and didnt know anything

now i have a bit more figured it out

[narrow kraken]

Yeah Lyfe for sure; I'd hate being 20 again, I like my 30's better

I have more money for one lol

[marsh tundra]

yeah

[indigo nimbus]

I just wanna get out of russia cause god this place sucks.

[marsh tundra]

but now my back hurts xd

[marsh tundra]

yeah i bet

[narrow kraken]

Russia? I should have known from the name . Where in Rusia are you from Vlad?

[indigo nimbus]

sorry, not revealing.

[narrow kraken]

Shit the bad back thing man, I don't have that yet lol

[marsh tundra]

it will come dw

[narrow kraken]

Ok then I'll guess. 56% of the population of Russia is in Moscow and St Petersburg so I'd guess Moscow

And watch, I'm wrong

[marsh tundra]

doesnt matter

[narrow kraken]

"it will come DW" lol

[marsh tundra]

thats their privacy

[indigo nimbus]

close

but not quite.

[narrow kraken]

Yeah close enough

[indigo nimbus]

ok anyways no more personal information!!!!!

[narrow kraken]

Id say somewhere in the Leningrad Oblast if I was a betting man

Personal information?

Ohhh Discord isn't big on doin the personal thing that's cool

I don't do alot of Discord so I'm clueless

[indigo nimbus]

no just my own preference

[narrow kraken]

Cool understood

[indigo nimbus]

btw whats the best way to get resources

like water, food and components

[marsh tundra]

ressource nodes

ressource convoys

[indigo nimbus]

alright ty

[rugged stratus]

Food and components have big plots north of Lincoln memorial, there is a huge water plot just east of lincoln memorial.

[indigo nimbus]

alright ty

what is their cooldown

[rugged stratus]

Daily

[indigo nimbus]

like how often do they refresh

ah ok ty, but what do I do while waiting for the daily reset, convoys?

[marsh tundra]

why do you need that much tho ? few nodes will get you to cap ressource

[rugged stratus]

Another good spot to hit daily is solar farm cp for a ton of other crafting mats.

[marsh tundra]

and there is plenty

[indigo nimbus]

just in case.

[marsh tundra]

in case of what ?

[indigo nimbus]

I honestly dont know.

[marsh tundra]

there is like 20 times more ressources on map than what you can carry + its rare to use them

[rugged stratus]

The lincoln nodes cover most of what's needed for weekly shd project

[marsh tundra]

yeah you really dont need more

[indigo nimbus]

fair

[rugged stratus]

Depends. If you're doing daily projects a lot of times you're feeding controlpoints as well

[indigo nimbus]

stupid question, but whats the best way to gain points for specializations?

[marsh tundra]

missions iirc ?

invaded

[rugged stratus]

Invaded missions, shd leveling

[indigo nimbus]

like leveling the watch?

[wispy merlin]

yes

[rugged stratus]

Yea
