[fickle phoenix]

it reminds me on the initial doctor home skin with which it got released...🤔

yeah, so damn close

[scenic escarp]

this skill been locked for me forever

makes no sense?

or is it locked behind a mission

[nimble spruce]

It's from the tidal basin hornet manhunt mission, but it's not very good

[scenic escarp]

oh i see, would be neat if it said that :p

[marsh tundra]

it does, on the manhunt recap

[tough marsh]

Ubisoft: added Steam achievements
Also Ubisoft: just kidding! Did you know that every day is April Fool's Day?

[teal hinge]

I wish there was a way to thank and praise developers

they get some much complaints whoever fixed the chracter screen bug thank you anyhow

[rugged stratus]

can publicly praise them on twitter or x w/e it is now

[marsh tundra]

we still call it twitter

nobody call it x except elon

[tiny stump]

i love it that even the news calls it twitter. they gave X a shot for like 2 months and it always had the reminder in it "X. formerly twitter" now they dont even bother

[marsh tundra]

yeah

some say twitter (also called x)

its the funniest sht

[tiny stump]

why is that dude so odd. hes obsessed with the letter X. like, thats some sht you like when you're 7

[mellow trout]

Took one of the most recognisable logos and just canned it

[marsh tundra]

entilted spoiled rich kid that never grew up

also super racist cause from south africa

[tiny stump]

yeah hes all kindsa nutty

[marsh tundra]

oh didnt yuou see the news btw

now he tried to sue advertisers that dont advertise on tiwtter for illegal boycott

[tiny stump]

lolll

[marsh tundra]

after telling them the f off when they complained about all the nazis on twitter lmao

[tiny stump]

he wants to have it both ways but you just cant with that stuff

[marsh tundra]

he also change rules so that raciat/homophobic/etc slurs are ok except cisgender which is not a slur xd

and he bans accounts that mock him if they get too big

he also fired 50% of his devs mostly at random

anyone criticizing him => fired

[tiny stump]

alright we are officially off topic. but i cant say enough bad things about him.

[marsh tundra]

yeah same

but its fun to sht on him x)

[wispy merlin]

@mellow trout

i just put ad rush intimidate cuz i'm too lazy to farm nego backpack

[mellow trout]

😭

[tiny stump]

thats probably not gonna work so good

[mellow trout]

Without ad rush would you just go oblit

[wispy merlin]

yes

and ignore the diamondback

[wispy merlin]

it will still work well because brazen

[tiny stump]

yeah i never tried negotiators as a close range build but now that i think about it, you could probably make it happen

[wispy merlin]

i've run this when HF released and i ran it when i was bored of HF

and scorpio instead of six12

[tiny stump]

six12 is my fav shotgun in the game

[wispy merlin]

it and m870 are my fav 2 yeah

in open world m870 just bops

[blazing timber]

Bruh nego shotgun is busted

[ruby wharf]

why does cassie have no loot in shop???

[teal hinge]

the game is well optimised for me only crashed once and had a character selection screen crash which is fixed for 3 weeks of gameplay pretty good

i played other games while playing this too no issues

but from what ive heard the past was horrible

[tiny stump]

yeah. i had to quit playing for a year when the game crashed like every 10-15 minutes guaranteed. when i came back the game just ran fine and i was able to continue

[nimble spruce]

It's very hardware dependent, I've never had serious crashing issues (except during the whole 'marauder drones cause deltas' issue) but definitely got the impression I was one of the lucky ones

[tiny stump]

when i came back i was one of the lucky ones because i had practically zero crashes and a ton of people here were still having the same old really annoying problem

[amber snow]

The summer projects stack right? I don't have to log in every day and can just wait til day 8 or 9 to do em all?

[sudden matrix]

Yes they stack

[amber snow]

Cool, figured no way we only got like 12 hours to do the first one but had to make sure

[weary junco]

If I delete my character to start again and have no active characters, will I keep the cosmetics I got from caches whilst playing the story on the deleted character?

[noble snow]

cosmetics carry over to other characters so you should be fine

[weary junco]

Also the reason I'm starting again is due to the story order being confusing towards the end. So I found this on reddit. For the world tiers do I run all the strongholds again once or do I have to do them each 5 times for each world tier?

[noble snow]

World tiers got removed so I don't believe you have to do the strongholds again

[weary junco]

So after the three strongholds it's straight on to the pentagon?

[noble snow]

yeah if thats the route you wanna take, tbh im not sure what the best progression route is but im sure someone in here knows

[rugged stratus]

Why wouldn't you just start a new agent and keep your other agent? They're independent of eachother story wise and it makes no sense , jmho

[weary junco]

As I'll never play on that character again so pointless it being there

[rugged stratus]

Well, its 150 extra storage, and once you have a watch the points will be duplicated on the main. Also you can do projects on each for really easy exotics and components

Its just kind of a waste

[wispy merlin]

you will need all 4 characters eventually

not to play on all of them but to use them as local said

[weary junco]

I know it makes sense to keep it, but because I got lost in the story I just want to get rid of it as it leaves a bad taste. I'm very particular about certain things like that, maybe a form of mental illness idk

[noble snow]

LMAOO ik exactly what you mean

[rugged stratus]

Some people like to make things hard on themselves

You do you boo

[untold vessel]

the reward of elite convoy looks like its falled thru fllor, any way to get it=

?

[tiny stump]

oo i got an oh carol. didnt realize winter items were happening right now

[pseudo tundra]

so is the second project borked for other people or just me?

[nimble spruce]

Are you doing open world activities like territory controls etc? That's the issue for some people, they think missions count.

[pseudo tundra]

welp that was my mistake

bounties also count

[soft inlet]

One of my friends has a YouTube video of proof of someone cheating in dark zone. They just ran into the same person today, and they saw the video on YouTube. The person then said to my friend that he went through courts and courts got my friends address through Ubisoft (which I'm 99% sure that's bullshit) and a lawsuit and Cease and Desist is on the way. Anybody else find this level of shit talk comical?

[rugged stratus]

Sounds like bs... let your friend handle his own shit

[rugged stratus]

to your right in this picture is an underground road. thats where its indicating . sleeping giant always has stuff moving through there. late response but youll know for next time

[icy flame]

best High End AR for ppl who can't aim?

[untold vessel]

it wasnt, at least i couldnt see it

[untold vessel]

anything wich dont need to control recoil and no snaipers xD e.g. strikers

[wicked forge]

loot goblin not spawning? i got him once, logged out, tried all the spots again and nothing, went inside dz to refresh my world, check all the spots and still nothing

[muted ginkgo]

Can you get the Cooler gun already from the loot goblin? Or is it a summer project reward?

[silver fog]

Things will low recoil, police m4, ctar

[rugged stratus]

this is a different angle from your screenshot that shows tunnel.

[zenith plaza]

Hello
Can someone help me or tell me how i can find chatterbox scheme please

Because I did exactly the same tips from a YouTube video, but it didn't work.

[slim elk]

First get all 3 pieces from Hyena lockboxes and then from the Bank HQ go to the office and there should be a slide that gives you a key that opens the Vault that contains Chatterbox's blueprint

[zenith plaza]

I did all that, but I do not have the blueprint.

[dry osprey]

Why can't i find my Ceska Backpack in the Proficient List? I want to upgrade it to 10 so i can start increasing the Expertise on it. It worked for the Mask and my Weapon but that Backpack doesn't show up in that list

It says "Proficient" in the Item Details Window though

Nvmd i'm stupid, i looked in the wrong tab. I can scroll down that list lmao.

[turbid igloo]

I've asked this before but does friend referral still works till today???

[mellow trout]

I heard it's extremely finnicky

[untold vessel]

that was loot from random renegade enemys, not releted

[valid bronze]

I did it about a year ago and it worked fine

[turbid igloo]

Perfect, that's what i wanted to hear

Btw How do i play It? Do i need to send the link or play with a New player?

[icy flame]

BTSU gloves says it has a 2m cooldown for overcharge, but does this apply to the skill cooldown refresh when you detonate the hive?

EDIT: after testing, it does

[turbid igloo]

I suppose

[soft inlet]

That's what we both thought too. I mean, who gets that butthurt over a video that has maybe 60 views? 😂 Apparently division 2 dark zone is that guy's life and he must protect it at all costs

[turbid igloo]

Cheaters being butt hurt for being exposed what a surprise

[soft inlet]

Real 💀 apparently the video is "defamation of character, slander, and false information". Should've had my friend say to call that guy's lawyer and ask what my friend's address is just to make him look even dumber 😂

[icy flame]

does PfE apply to your shield?

[soft inlet]

Reminds me heavily of the Xbox 360 party chats back in the day when you piss off a 12 year old and they threaten that their dad works for Microsoft and can get you banned lmao

[mellow trout]

Yes

[tulip fiber]

If you got the blueprint already just ignore, but make sure that the bank is not invaded. You won’t be able to open the Hyena lockbox if it’s invaded.

[tiny stump]

if you dont already know, opening a hyena lockbox in the correct district does not guarantee a component to drop.

and they will never drop if you already have a chatterbox in your inventory or stash

[noble remnant]

Does anyone here think the watches should be in this order considering we fought enemies in this order, Hyenas -> True Sons -> Outcasts but the watches are Hyenas -> Outcasts -> True Sons?

[marsh tundra]

lol i didnt even notice the watches had symbols for the faction

[junior sequoia]

The last watch will probably have Black Tusk logo or something like that

[noble remnant]

I didn't notice until after getting the second watch and only thought of this now because of the true sons watch.

[steady terrace]

No spoiler

[noble remnant]

Oh

Can I add on to the post after it's posted?

Or do I have to repost it?

[marsh tundra]

I cant

[noble remnant]

I'll repost the image with a spoiler warning

[steady terrace]

Thanks for spoiling 😀

Haye u

[noble remnant]

I didn't mean to sorry about that.

[steady terrace]

No sorry will help

Donate to charity that will help me 😁

Or feed your local orphanage

[icy flame]

stupid question but Pulse works for the entire team right?

[wispy merlin]

yes

[muted ginkgo]

Can you get the Cooler gun already from the loot goblin? Or is it a summer project reward?

[sudden matrix]

Pretty sure it's the project reward.

[weary junco]

Side missions count as activities right?

[sudden matrix]

Activities would be a public execution, territory control, resource convoy, propaganda broadcast, or such things like this.

[weary junco]

Ah ok that's unfortunate I'll have to look around to complete my project then

[sudden matrix]

Tons of them all over the map, just call for backup(I think it's fixed for PS now?) and they should stay for a couple of them. I mean if you already have friends that's cool too lol.

[turbid igloo]

How do i participate the friend referral? Do i just play with new people or do i need to do something with that link

[solid frost]

Anyone up for dark hours

[rugged stratus]

there was no loot in either your or my screenshots... that area is where this "in the floor" elite convoy was 🙄

[turbid igloo]

#lfg-raid-console

[solid frost]

Thank you

[junior sequoia]

Pretty useless I suppose, see how the other special items are, like oh Carol and the sleight.

[sudden matrix]

The Christmas goblin items are not relevant, just an unexpected turn of events so get your winter exclusives cause there are 4.

[marsh wraith]

@muted ginkgoonce u get the gun then you can get it from the loot goblin

[muted ginkgo]

Alright thank you

[narrow kraken]

Is there any possible way we can have Descent not be Sloth every other rotation like it's been for the last 5 months?

and no, that's not RNG. everyone shares the same rotation, its not individual to the player.

[cedar yacht]

I rather have no rotation

[narrow kraken]

same

[static token]

Hey guys, TDI kard custom's +1 skill tier doesn't get saved in a loadout? Is this a known bug?

I just got the gun & have reached skill tier 6 using it. But every time i equip that loadout, it starts from tier 5. If I re-equip the pistol, it goes to 6 again.

[nimble spruce]

it only counts if you hold the pistol in your hand, switch to primary or secondary weapon and you lose the tier

[static token]

Ah. So that's how it works. I thought it was always active.

Thanks

[ruby wharf]

if it was possible to use 2 different versions of the same skill in both slots what would be some of the combos people would run 🤔

I feel like it would be funny having two drones or two hives but unrealistic cause some would be rly good possibly

[turbid igloo]

How do i participate friend referral? Do i need to do something with that link or do i have to join someone in that channel

[junior sequoia]

From what I understood, this only works with a veteran account (more than 1 week old account) and new players (less than 1 week old). So basically, the new players need to access your friend referral link (you can get it on the division 2 friend referral page) and play some mission with you in your group.

[turbid igloo]

Balls

[spark rain]

have the resources, can't craft tactical assessments

[icy flame]

Galvanize
Applying a Blind, Ensnare, Confuse, or Shock to an enemy grants 40% of your armor as bonus armor to you and all allies within 20m of that enemy for 10s

If I Ensnare an enemy, then within 5 secs lose that bonus armor because they hit me, if I Ensnare again will I get the bonus armor back? or is there also a cooldown of 10 secs?

[mellow trout]

It doesn't have a cooldown but you have to wait out the duration

10 secs I believe

[rugged stratus]

scorpio will allow you to put different status on npcs. im not sure if itll reproc, but its worth trying

[rancid ivy]

Anybody wanna do a raid dm me

[teal hinge]

Ive encountered one of the worst bugs you can have apprently in countdown i cant see my squad members and it lags out now. Also cant track some things on my screen

its game breaking cant even queue countdown happened after i went to new york and came back to dc

[teal hinge]

i was about to buy the season pass to show my love and support....if i cant fix no way...really loving the game too

[ruby wharf]

did you do the final mission in ny

apparently not doing liberty island bugs it out

[teal hinge]

no just started

[ruby wharf]

should fix when done hopefully

[teal hinge]

god i hope this is true please be true

how long after killing all of keeners men does it end?

[regal summit]

After you get the 4 rogues, there's like 2 more missions, castle clinton and liberty island.

[teal hinge]

After keener i can do these whenever i want right?

[sudden matrix]

Yur, just know some of them have skills you unlock by completing them.

[teal hinge]

wow even after keeners squad theres more nice

[mellow trout]

Nothing radical but neat new variants of the rogue skills

[inner tendon]

Just an FYI, not every Manhunt has one. Just the first 4 (Tidal/Roosevelt/Lau/Coney Island AP).

[teal hinge]

cool

[teal hinge]

what happened to rekt by brownie lol every time i do a bounty and remember your name i chuckle

as a new player some of those brownies did rek me dont know if thats what your name was related too but yeah

[inner tendon]

Sorry I have no idea what you're talking about.

[teal hinge]

must be another one the mods names

[inner tendon]

Let me know if you figure it out, not really sure what any of that means, but none of the mod team really have a name like mine so

[teal hinge]

supply drops even worth it in the endgame outside the darkzone?

[teal hinge]

oh its a nitrobooster not a mod

dont know why i got your names mixed up

I dont know what i bought like 4rs when only palyed like 10hrs

i got the ruthless but no lullaby

i got the expansion etc

judging by googles results that shotgun is trash

[sudden matrix]

They are both trash lol

[inner tendon]

Technically speaking, it does the most damage in the game.

[sudden matrix]

You are gonna have to lay out those technicals then cause I know way too much about HH...

[teal hinge]

so much content

[inner tendon]

Oh it's nothing to do with that, it just does the damage equivalent of 1-shotting anything with a red or purple bar.
regardless of its health.

[teal hinge]

ill youtube it

[inner tendon]

It's terrible, don't bother.

[teal hinge]

i wanna buy the season pass but that bug with new york has me worried

apprently the fix is to finish the new york expan missions, i cant track some things, see other play names in countdown and i lag out

[inner tendon]

You don't actually need the Season Pass, just an FYI. All the actual content is free, the paid tier is only for cosmetics and excess caches.

[teal hinge]

just to support the game im having a an amazing time its hard for me to like any game today they all arrive buggy and lacking content

i got in here late so it helps i had 4kish hours in the first one

[inner tendon]

Support it if you'd like, but this Season's rewards are a little thin, cosmetics wise. They're not bad or anything, but we didn't really get a unique Hunter Mask like normal, just a part to the Outfit in the final slot.
Look up some of the older Season Lvl 100 masks if you want a comparison.

the "mask" we did get is great, granted.

[teal hinge]

oh man i p.ssed off the wrong guy in the dark zone dude was nice when i first went didnt attack me.... today i wanted to see what it was like it was that nice dude who let me be...

looked up hes stats hes top 0.1% of dz players

and in my timezone... not many people in the dz

ive got 0% hope against people with that extra 25% mastery damage in my mind

[cedar schooner]

You can outplay them, it just takes a good build and game knowledge.

[teal hinge]

whats with new york bounties making you run through 20% of the map to get them done....

feels like unfinished content probably had to gather intel drops etc

[sudden matrix]

Any of the new bounties are like that. The new BTSU bounty that is just east of tidal in DC is the worst, NY bounties are just pain.

[teal hinge]

which gear set is best for shotguns?

[cedar schooner]

Striker or Hunter’s Fury mostly

[teal hinge]

i did so much striker in the first avoiding it for now

i got a pretty good heartbreaker build right now

[sudden matrix]

HB gud for new/solo players imo.

HB chest and 1 pc ceska with memento is a solos best friend.

[wispy merlin]

highly recommend hunter's fury, run either crit variant or headhunter variant and you'll keep having fun

it's the main set i use

[teal hinge]

i had hunters at the start thats the crit hit and crit damage one?

i got melted too quick for my playstayle

[wispy merlin]

it's the one that gives you damage towards enemies within 15m

[teal hinge]

current build my holster isnt max stats yet

[sudden matrix]

gear sets only use 4 pc...

[wispy merlin]

drop holster, knees or gloves

use 1p ceska instead

[teal hinge]

omg...

[sudden matrix]

You miss out on a brandset bonus and an extra attribute.

[wispy merlin]

ideally you drop the backpack

[teal hinge]

dont some of the sets require the backpack for the extra perk?

or holster dont remembe on my way to fix it now

[wispy merlin]

the HB backpack just gives you more bonus armor

you don't need it really

[sudden matrix]

Also looks like you might wanna jump into recalibration some.

[teal hinge]

hmmm must be other named slots i like the extra armor it gives mid combat

[teal hinge]

yeah filling up my library slowly

[sudden matrix]

Regardless you'll profit from using it to get stats to CHC/CHD

[teal hinge]

not as clean as endgame but getting there

[sudden matrix]

The better the build the faster you farm the quicker your library fills.

[teal hinge]

hmmm looks nice this perk i feel like nades are uselss

they just dodge them

[wispy merlin]

mostly useless except in some situations where they proc really strong buffs

[teal hinge]

this i love pulse the drone

[wispy merlin]

or you throw grenades to flush them out of cover, where making them dodge out of cover is what you want

[teal hinge]

gonna watch videos on this piece seems op like try and track 3mil armor if possible

[teal hinge]

yeah

[wispy merlin]

eh not really

it's worse than HB chest

[teal hinge]

man thank you so much for noticing that i can do some many things to my build now

felt like something was missing assumed it was my watch

[wispy merlin]

you're missing a lot of crit

[teal hinge]

unbreakble seems nice

most of all my mods are crit chance

not getting max stat drops yet like 4.5%

[wispy merlin]

ideally you roll crit damage mods only

coming back to 1p ceska which gives you 10% crit chance, it's the best high end brand for crit

[teal hinge]

i Imagine farming named high ends isnt easy?

[cedar schooner]

It’s good for PvP, but not on heartbreaker and not for PvE where you want as much damage as possible

[wispy merlin]

this one isn't named

[cedar schooner]

Depends

[teal hinge]

i had 60% crit chance before and 89% crit damage with my other build

but i wasnt tanky enough plan now is to research shield smg builds and shotgun tank builds

[wispy merlin]

you know crit chance is capped at 60% yes?

[teal hinge]

yeah

[wispy merlin]

even worse if you have coyote, you only need 50% most of the time?

[teal hinge]

no perks what a shame

[wispy merlin]

for low shd players sticking to coyote and ceska will help a lot. you have low crit and playing builds that don't use coyote or even ceska will hurt a LOT

[cedar schooner]

Try to run technician and run the linked laser pointer on a gun that can use it. This will mean you don’t have to headshot enemies, and you just have to aim at them to Pulse them.

Also try to run a weapon with flatline, as it will give you more damage and flexibility with your skills.

[teal hinge]

its the last one i have to do technician but it had me wondering if it was worth it over the mingun, nade launcher and flamethrower builds

[cedar schooner]

It’s worth it for heartbreaker builds

[teal hinge]

you sure i dont need the backpack for heartbreaker?

got a point i barely ever see enemies last long enough for me to get insane armor stacks

like 20% of the time

[wispy merlin]

you need more damage

[sudden matrix]

Yeah the other issue with HB backpack is that bonus armor is given when you get a stack, once fully stacked you ain't gettin no mo bonus armor.

[wispy merlin]

you'll get to a point where no armor is enough because enemies deal too much damage so you'd rather stack more damage to kill faster

[teal hinge]

whcich backpack got so many named ones

[sudden matrix]

named=/=better

[cedar schooner]

Optimally you don’t really want a named one.

Just look for a ceska backpack with vigilance

[wispy merlin]

named doesn't mean optimal, same with exotics. very few are actually good

[teal hinge]

unstoppable force?

[wispy merlin]

vigilance

[cedar schooner]

Kind of good, but not as good.

[teal hinge]

i think ill drop coyotes mask for acosta go bag!

[wispy merlin]

but why

[teal hinge]

its a joke lol

[cedar schooner]

Vigilance is really good on heartbreaker, because taking damage to your bonus armor won’t disable it.

[cedar schooner]

You scared us

[teal hinge]

perfrect spotter with the tech class looks alright

anyway] gn yall

[cedar schooner]

It’s pretty good in certain builds, just doesn’t work well with heartbreaker.

[untold vessel]

should i level that ones? or better else

[wispy merlin]

any of them are worth, up to preference

[sudden matrix]

Via the Explore discoverable servers on discord maybe look up GC Rock as they have more console players

There are LFG servers with VC that are more popular for finding groups if you just hop into a VC. The server I mentioned above as well as "The division" ones are great for this.

Otherwise you can try the LFG channels at the bottom of this discords channels.

[swift cairn]

How bad/good is overlord?

[cedar schooner]

Pretty bad. I think it had some potential for PvP but I haven’t heard anything about it actually being used

[swift cairn]

Had a feeling. Guessing the exotic armor piece and gearsets also bad then? Thats usually the trend

[cedar schooner]

This season, yeah it’s awful.

The brandset is all right

Brazen was really the high light

[swift cairn]

Figured as much. Its usually its all good/op or all bad. Partially glad i didnt play this season so far for it

[wispy merlin]

brazen is like the only saving grace

it's a busted talent

[swift cairn]

Does that mean thorn is good?

a spas12 with it sounds great. Not AA12 great mind...

[wispy merlin]

thorn is alright but like glue is better

like glue is super 90

[swift cairn]

sad. I rather be valkryie then frost

[wispy merlin]

i want to be rook so m870 for me

[cedar schooner]

Hehe

[swift cairn]

based

Oh thats disgusting actually

[wispy merlin]

rook shotgun throws people off all the time. or doc shotgun

[swift cairn]

hear me out, 2 aa12s. Sledge on one, brazen the other

[cedar schooner]

That’s your vibe lmaooooooo

[swift cairn]

Wait can we have 2 of the same gun. Ider.

[wispy merlin]

yeah as long as they're not both exotic

[swift cairn]

lit. New build idea if i ever hop on them

Cant wait to dual wield the funny gun

[sudden matrix]

@mystic mica

[mystic mica]

cheers mate !

[sudden matrix]

Fyi every two successful challenging runs you can buy 1 exotic cache.

[mystic mica]

i have had like 10 successful challenging runs today

XD (i still got the scorpio though. it dropped from a heavy dude in countdown)

[sudden matrix]

Noice, more of a mental note on how often you can buy one tho. Scorpio is top 5 exotic weapons imo.

It's good on any build and pretty much always worth an exotic slot in group play.

[mystic mica]

do i switch it with the acs12 though? for the striker build?

[sudden matrix]

It depends on your build/skill level/content.

You'll learn about that more as you play too.

[mystic mica]

how about this?

[sudden matrix]

Chest piece is a no go. Also no SMGs on the build so mask brand is ded.

Typically striker chest is obliterate for more damage, mask is coyotes, brands goes 1-ceska-2-grupo where grupo would swap for coyotes if you have it.

This is your typical run of the mill meta striker DPS tho.

There are TONS of little variations on it.

Just know this build is going to allow you to do pretty much all content in the game BUT it does get boring cause it's mechanically simple. Just shoot lots for mo damage.

[mystic mica]

there is a tommy gun in the build right now

but what chest do i get?

[cedar schooner]

Česká chest with obliterate

[weary junco]

What is the name of the activity where you rescue hostages?

[sudden matrix]

Hostage rescue?

[weary junco]

Oh is it that simple ok just wanted to make sure for this project

[mystic mica]

question
how do i unlock the daily shd project?

i am lvl 40 and i still don't have it

[nimble spruce]

There's two, hostage rescue has a green icon on the map, only tends to appear when you've captured nearby control points. Public executions are red and generally more common.

[spice helm]

What are the best third attributes to have on punch drunk masks? Have too many and need to make inventory space

[sudden matrix]

It's a pistol HSD item so the only thing that makes sense is weapoin handling or maybe CHC. It's actually not even that popular of an item for HSD builds.

[spice helm]

Cool, thanks. Those are the ones I kept. Also have 2 with max arm reg but not sure if I should delete them. Possibly for some tank build?

[sudden matrix]

I doubt you'd ever need/make one.

[spice helm]

What would a better mask be for a pistol build instead of punch drunk?

[sudden matrix]

Well there are two popular pistol builds, the high end one that uses punch drunk and the hunter fury one that uses a DH/vigi backpack or a DCH.

[spice helm]

Assuming punch drunk for something like regulus and HF for determined?

[sudden matrix]

Hunter fury is all about that regulus, it'll do more damage once you've got HF stacks.

Way better for repeated kills too.

[spice helm]

Time to put all these regs to use. Thanks 🙂

[sudden matrix]

Pistol build guides if you want to see other notes or suggestions on the builds I'm talking about.

[teal hinge]

i was excited target loot dz but its the weekend

an agent has gone rogue

[rugged stratus]

there is only a weekly shd project, for the exotic cache. afaik its available at 30 (or at least was before one endgame ). there is daily project for exo component, and daily seasonal project for xp tho

[icy flame]

best way to grind ceramics? target loot kneepads Countdown and deconstruct?

[rugged stratus]

the area around solar farm cp has a metric ton of all types of mats

can break stuff down also

[rugged stratus]

refreshes daily

anyone else getting a lot of double exotic drops? past few days when doing project missions i been getting a lot of doubles

[icy flame]

not doing project missions, but the only time i got an exotic drop when i returned to the game 2 weeks ago was on my very first run of Countdown ever this past Mon, a Sweet Dreams

[teal hinge]

dam faye didnt see that coming now i dont feel bad for roasting you in the first division game...

well i imagine this is insane?

[tough marsh]

if only you get an exotic component for every exotic talent choice you skip in Descent.

[wispy merlin]

bro casually flexing loop 30

[barren maple]

How long did that take?

[tough marsh]

5 hours and still going

[barren maple]

That’s long wonder if you reached loop 40 or if you gave up

[tough marsh]

loop 40 is the goal

[barren maple]

I remember reaching loop 10 took a while

[tough marsh]

we wiped at 33

[icy flame]

how does Tardigrade's cooldown work?

1. each person has their own separate cooldown of 45 secs when their armor breaks

2. whenever anyone's armor breaks, it starts a cooldown of 45 secs multiplied by the amount of ppl in your group before it can activate again (so only 1 person can benefit from this Talent at a time)

[mellow trout]

Everyone gets bonus armour when one person gets their armour broken

[icy flame]

option 3?!

[mellow trout]

Huh

The cooldown is only for the user

[icy flame]

holy crap

[mellow trout]

iirc you shorten it by getting spec weapon kills

Everyone gets bonus armour when someone gets theirs broken but it can only trigger when tardi isn't on cooldown

[icy flame]

so the cooldown is for the person whose armor gets broken?

[mellow trout]

No for the user

The gist is you can only get the bonus once every 45 seconds without the user getting a spec weapon kill

[inner tendon]

Cooldown per ally: 45s
Killing an enemy with your specialization weapon removes this cooldown for all allies."```
If that helps make it clearer, probably not.

[barren maple]

Rip

[mystic mica]

Wasn't there a daily project for blueprints?
It's all over youtube

[rugged stratus]

I dont think so. You unlock most blueprints from level 3 and 4 control points

[teal hinge]

which faction has the scorchers again?

caleaners or outcast?

[weary junco]

Do the CP that award mods show them as a reward? As mine now say materials and xp with most of the mod rewards from side quests

[mellow trout]

It's random every time

But you're guaranteed a mod if you're missing at least one

From the control point pool

[summer canyon]

Outcasts

[weary junco]

Alright, I guess I'll just keep doing red ones incase I'm missing any so they show up again

[teal hinge]

This a random drop or did i do something to get it? its my favorite gun

[tacit lintel]

how to unlock darpa reaserch labs? it says groupe ineligible?

[teal hinge]

For loadouts does the gear have to be on me or will my stash work as well?

[mellow trout]

it'll pull gear from your stash if its in there

[twin orbit]

Does EB, Ravenous drop only in invaded DZ from DZ drop points or they drop from landmarks too?

[wispy merlin]

they drop from any NPC in there

they don't drop from activities

[teal hinge]

Awesome if only you change your specialization as well on the fly

[mellow trout]

you do

[wispy merlin]

you can save your spec into the loadout

[rugged stratus]

iirc youll need to be in proximity of the stash to swap a loadout that is stored there. its best to just keep your main builds on you

[muted ginkgo]

How to unlock daily/weekly projects? My friend has a fresh account (SHD lvl 17) and he only has Descent project and Summer project?

[turbid igloo]

I think he needs to progress yet

[rugged stratus]

Shd 17 or level 17... if he has the keener watch(shd) then he should have the projects

[muted ginkgo]

He has the watch, but no projects

[weary junco]

Is the shd cache in downtown east construction site still bugged. The door with the muller sign doesn't open

[narrow kraken]

What is the talent of Acosta's Knee Guards? I couldn't find it in the wiki

[cedar schooner]

Just some speed boosts I can’t find it either

[wicked forge]

why am i just now finding out you can use printer filaments to level up expertise how the hell do i do that

[cedar schooner]

Go to the item and look at donation materials

[wicked forge]

oh my gosh i have been single handedly grinding the expertise on items for months i never knew there was an easy route

does it work on named and exotics too or no

[wispy merlin]

yes lol

[narrow kraken]

Ight

[teal hinge]

just realised

weapon stats like kills why isnt that athing the main menu doesnt count

[teal hinge]

do summit access keys go away after you hit another floor?

[summer canyon]

Only if you go up said floor via an elevator

[teal hinge]

is there a way to reset keeners watch?

[tulip fiber]

To reset and redistribute the points? No.

[teal hinge]

so finding a summit key means theres a chest somewhere or its chance based?

[tulip fiber]

The chest is every 3 floors. 3, 6, etc. the key you find during the three floors will only work for that set of 3.

[nimble spruce]

Might need to complete WONY missions including liberty island

[summer canyon]

How many blueprints I got left to get from Descent if I'm currently in 415/510 for the crafting station?

[sudden matrix]

It's hard to say because you'd have to know exactly how many you have from seasons/crafting/specs/bugged ones that you shouldn't have gotten. So basically when you open a reconstructed cache and get nothing you know you're good. It's still a good idea to collect extra and keep them in your mailbox cause you can open them if new stuff gets added to the pool.

[summer canyon]

Gotcha

[teal hinge]

finally

[sudden matrix]

DTTOOC noice

[teal hinge]

oh gifs are not allowed

yeah im happy

good day new toys i havent seen ebfore

you can use assault rifles with a shield? thought its just smgs, pistols and shottys

[tulip fiber]

You can, yeah. Not LMGs or MMRs though. The bulwark can only use pistol.

[teal hinge]

mmmr?

i hope this stacks with scorpio

[fallow inlet]

Hope everyone's having a good weekend

[dire arch]

Hi folks! Quick question here regarding former skins that’s been available before.. still possible to get somehow? Was thinking of the Famas skin with the blood stains and roman numbers carved into it..

Thanks in advance!

[cedar schooner]

It can depend, I’m not sure when that skin is from, but likely no if you can’t find it in the store.

[dire arch]

@cedar schooner Thanks for your reply, yeah I think it was from season 2 or 3..

[cedar schooner]

Oh yeah… maybe in a season rerun but I’m not sure when that would even happen

[dire arch]

One would think that they would add the exclusive skins to the store after a while.. too bad, it’s a nice looking skin

[cedar schooner]

Yeah… they’ve added some things back for a limited time, but I dunno

[oak sorrel]

Guys, how to get st. Elmo engine currently?

[rugged stratus]

Target loot AR in countdown, and buy exotic caches.
It can drop anywhere but countdown will be fastest farm method

[marsh holly]

Guys does Danny Weaver opens at the same time as Cassie?

[summer canyon]

Yes

[marsh holly]

Thanks

[spice helm]

I have 504 which is the max for me. That's without any special items like the enforcer. I did get the BPs for hunter killer and shield splinterer before they were no longer made available so I would surmised it's going to be 502 for you, if you haven't gotten them yet. You can also tell by looking at a recon cache. When you select it, look to the right where it shows the rewards from the cache. If you can get a BP, it'll show 2 rewards. If not, it'll only show 1.

[civic forge]

Can you farm for Christmas items now?

[cedar schooner]

From the loot goblin now

[civic forge]

What’s the loot goblin

[cedar schooner]

Guy that spawns in the open world and does jumping jacks and shoots a pistol at you

[civic forge]

Bet ty

[narrow kraken]

What's the best way to get coyote mask?

[slim elk]

Mask Targeted Loot Chall Countdown.

[narrow kraken]

Thanks but any other easier way as I still don't have a very good build for that?

[slim elk]

Your Striker's build is top use at CD.
Summit is slower and also requires you a build to clear floors fast

[narrow kraken]

Oh ok thanks I'll try have a nice day

[slim elk]

You too!

[desert kindle]

[cedar schooner]

What’s your build look like? At challenging you can really get away with a lot

[cedar schooner]

That’s not great, but honestly it’s good enough for countdown in challenging

I’d really try and get a striker backpack too. That’s the best quick improvement

That and some Crit mods

[narrow kraken]

Ight thx I'll try

[slim elk]

yeah, that and try to get the basic Striker's set which is:
Ceska chest with Obliterate
4pc Striker's
Coyote's
Everything rolled to CHD (primarily) and CHC

[narrow kraken]

Sorry but I don't know what does CHD and CHC mean

[slim elk]

Crit Hit Damage and Chance

[narrow kraken]

Oh ok

[slim elk]

here's the "striker" sheet

Best activity to defeat named enemies for the project 4?

[noble snow]

do control points for the factions you need

guaranteed 2 named enemies

or you can do bounties

[marsh tundra]

bounties

on normal difficulty its like 2mins max

[weary junco]

Ok I'll see if I can find anyone for bounties then

[soft inlet]

Saw a comment under one of Kami's recent videos about the squirt gun that St Elmo's got a silent nerf (apparently does the same base damage as bullet king). How true is this?

[wispy merlin]

it's bs

[marsh tundra]

i mean you can check yourself ingame

[soft inlet]

Good because if it is true, there's about to be pitch forks and torches outside lmao

[soft inlet]

Small break from work, won't be able to get on until tomorrow

[teal hinge]

scorpio is boss i saw theres an exotic that can let you have 2 builds at once

mission today get it

im guessing 3 peices needed instead of 4 but then how can 2 build works fully

[ruby wharf]

Ninjabike backpack?

[rugged stratus]

you cant make 2 gearsets fully work. ninja bike bag fills in a spot on any set/brand you have equipped. so 3pc + ninja bike makes a 4pc set, then you can use a couple brands or a couple gearset pieces with ninja also unlocking a set bonus there. you can get a lot of brand bonuses active, but it isnt really worth. basically, you are trading a couple brand bonuses while losing a backpack talent. backpack talents can be very strong and in a lot of cases are a large portion of the damage you produce.
ninja bag is pretty much a gimmick piece with very few good ways to utilize it

[silver fog]

Elmo has the base base dps and rpm as the bullet king since project resolve

Well it's more than the bk got buffed

[teal hinge]

thought as much

[teal hinge]

yeah

wasted the last hour tring to kill 2 enemies with a grenade the game auto swapped my nade when i chose demo class because they kept having 10% health left 😡

[hot ferry]

is this uh... normal?

[cedar schooner]

More normal than it should be

[narrow kraken]

Looks normal to me

[rugged stratus]

use foam then nade them while stuck. low difficulty should get it done quick

[hot ferry]

its happened a million times before I just wanted to know if it was a me problem

[cedar schooner]

Nah I’ve had it happen a few times

[rugged stratus]

ive never seen it pop up, but it might be worth repairing your game after you log

[cedar schooner]

Honestly not worth the hassle

[ruby wharf]

ive seen people have it before

[teal hinge]

just realised if i dont go through the gear i pick up it shows in the expert menu as usuable

why not always having to go into my inventory then back to the expert menu to find that gear over and over is really really a killer task

i totally misunderstood the the way it works for every expertise level i can add a another level to my favorite weapons that makes it worth it

i thought you had to get everything done first to go past lvl 1

[ruby wharf]

why does fragile armor sometimes not let me repair with plates?

[cedar schooner]

Because it’s broke and hasn’t been fixed

[ruby wharf]

fragile code

at least it goes away when i tp safe zone

[cedar schooner]

Yeah…

[rugged stratus]

mark all you want to donate as junk. in expertise menu there is an option to donate all junk

[teal hinge]

Got a tricky end game question at what stage do i know whather i should be dismantling or donating gear? is this enough resources to focus on donations instead?

[cedar yacht]

For expertise?

[teal hinge]

yeah i should focus that more right?

[cedar yacht]

No lol

[teal hinge]

my library is almost done hard to find ebtter

[cedar yacht]

Yeah just focus on library and then make or optimize builds.

Expertise is not mandatory unless you’re a hardcore pvp player.

[teal hinge]

wait so i can look at the categories/brand of stuff insteadof like just goign to the body armor section and going through the list? am i missing something

[teal hinge]

i want it for pve and pvp

[cedar yacht]

Yeah

[teal hinge]

im lost here why is it sying upgrade not donate select i must be proficient?

[cedar yacht]

You can only donate when they’re not proficient

[teal hinge]

nevermind i get it

[cedar yacht]

You cant donated so you just dismantle

[teal hinge]

any point keeping the chill out mask from the loot goblion/hoarder?

[cedar yacht]

For me I just keep one as a collection. Some people use it in Pfe builds.

[teal hinge]

which one for a future sniper buidl?

[slim elk]

M700 Tac or get SR-1.
You mostly want DTOC and Determined on your sniper for that specific build.

[granite jay]

Determined is so broken that it hurts the game. Personal opinion.

[teal hinge]

ya know looter shooters with this kind of depth are rare imagine if the game had twice the dev team

just wanted to check you can reach expertise lvl 25 and still have stuff let to level right? looking at the complaints about the water gun in the event not doing damage

[granite jay]

Yes. Max expertise right now is 26

[teal hinge]

thats a nice weapon skin man just let us use it on other guns....

[soft inlet]

So the comment was only half right 🤔 I do recall bullet king getting buffed but st Elmo's getting nerfed? I don't believe that, hence why I came here right away to ask. Later today when I get a chance to jump in game, I'm gonna equip my level 1 gear and see how the base numbers look.... Oh wait, I can just load up build tool online 🤣

[cedar yacht]

BK got buffed because of the rerollable third talent and negev getting a damage buff. St. Elmo “nerf” is mainly due to Police M4 not getting a buff.

[soft inlet]

I loaded up build tool online (it's not 100% accurate all the time) and saw that St Elmo's does 72k damage for the base weapon stats. Its a little less if you don't factor in dttooc. I then slapped on bullet king with the same attributes as St Elmo's (dmg/dttooc/health damage) and noticed it only does 62k damage. Removed bullet king and slapped on police m4, seems to have the same base damage as St Elmo's with the same attributes

So idk if these people are either whining that St Elmo's should be buffed or they're coping by saying it's the same as bullet king damage lol

Oh also, I just checked with BK that has DTA/DTTOOC on it and it's still only giving you base stats of 66k. Nowhere near the 72k Elmo's does. Where do people come up with these comments about shit getting nerfed 💀💀 and this is why we fact check, folks.

[cedar yacht]

I mean both bk and elmo have similar dps. The only difference is that elmo is only carried by its attachments.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Also they’re the similar base damage. 45084 for BK and 44191 for Elmo.

[teal hinge]

didnt know the loot hoarder is on summit he dropped christmas stuff

[silver fog]

That shouldn't be true. The negev should do a little bit more by base compared to elmo and police m4. Either the online build tool is considering other attributes of the build or is outdated.

[soft inlet]

Build tool could very well be wrong. I won't know until later today

But then again, St Elmo's > Bullet King any day

[silver fog]

Well yea, that's mostly due to the chc, chd, weapon handling, and it being an ar and having high accuarcy and health damage

[untold vessel]

wtf 530

[summer canyon]

Yeah, Black Tusk enemies drop these parts when you kill em

[teal hinge]

broo.... bro... you telling me that donate all junk i couldve done that instead of going to each section?

[untold vessel]

yes

[teal hinge]

.....😒

massive quality of life thing grinding is fun now

would be nice if you could target loot caches

[untold vessel]

but they forget a fast craft

its so anoying 3s per item, when you looks for something

(3s or more)

[teal hinge]

didn't realise there are rewards here collecting them all should be fun

never thought i would say this but this is the first game where im happy to buy a seaon pass every season amount of content is amazing

got another 2 weeks off work grind grin grind

[cedar schooner]

Can’t say I’d agree with the content part, but I like the game enough I’m happy supporting it.

[teal hinge]

i came 5yrs late for those whove been on journey knowning past ubi things im not surprised

why am i not getting max stat roll mods? not even one yet just the specialization ones

finally finished a part of my watch whats the enxt best thing health? for the blue section?

[cedar schooner]

IMO haz pro

You’re already getting health by leveling up anyways, and it’s not super worth it regardless IMO

[teal hinge]

ccol

[hybrid girder]

I'm rather new to this game and am wondering if today's daily got messed up requiring a restricted mission on Roosevelt Island that we can't start until we do Bank HQ & DCD HQ first?

[teal hinge]

theres abutton to switch the mission to normal mode i ran into this too

[hybrid girder]

The daily requires hard or higher.

[cedar schooner]

He means to not invaded

You need to hold G I think

[hybrid girder]

Ah

[teal hinge]

welcome to the new player zone first time has to be story mode

[hybrid girder]

I toggled it to not be restrictive.

[teal hinge]

what i mean by story mode is all missions start on story mode after that you can make it harder so doing a project mission on story mode wont work most require hard mode+

game is meant to be played on challenging at least you will see

[hybrid girder]

I finished all the story missions. I want to do the daily progression and noticed Roosevelt Island was restricted. I toggled it to non-restricted with the G key as IC3SO suggested.

[teal hinge]

i use a ps4 controller woudlve havent made sense to say hold triangle

on pc third person games its just more chill

[teal hinge]

dark zone farming doesnt seem worth it get a little rushing thinking it might be eagle bearer in a risky place its my 20th pestilience lol

[cedar yacht]

Dz farming is really good for recon data

[narrow kraken]

Could anyone explain to me how people in skirmish do so much dmg while having alot of armor?

[cedar yacht]

If you want the raid guns just go do the raid

[junior sequoia]

Shared talents maybe? Like coyote, ongoing directive, specializations bonuses.

[narrow kraken]

Idk they just hit hard but they take like absolutely no dmg whatsoever

[junior sequoia]

It's good to farm exotics components but only components, farming normal exotics is better on countdown.

[junior sequoia]

Idk, maybe those meta ouroboros strafers, they can use a 6 blue core build and take all of your armor with a single magazine

[marsh tundra]

dz is excellent for exotic part, i see 3 exotic part on your screenshot

[narrow kraken]

Dam ok

[silver fog]

There are 6 blue core builds that also have decent bits of damage, like the electrique + picarios build which has the equivalent of 3 red cores worth of damage

You combine that with contractors and foxes, that is a lot of damage

[cedar yacht]

Electrique is hard to make a usable 6 blue because of its innate yellow core.

[hollow kestrel]

How is progressing levels on your SHD watch like?

[slim elk]

wdym exactly by that? You meant difficulty, time wise...?

[hollow kestrel]

Both

[slim elk]

If you think about it, it's not that difficult to reach SHD 1K if you farm CP4's w/4-5D.
If you don't like those then it's gonna take its time to get there. It took me (with CP farming, tons of CD's, etc) about 6 months of constant activities

[rugged stratus]

here we go. Doomz probably has it broke down to specific shd/hr 😆

[slim elk]

Nope hahaha

But...!

[rugged stratus]

rolling through controlpoints with directives can probably be comfortably done for about 20 shd/hr ig. so like 50ish hours to 1k

[slim elk]

I get bored after 5 runs so... up to them

personal record is 23 runs listening to a podcast

[rugged stratus]

oh man, you never woulda survived floor 10 then

30-45 secs, wipe, repeat. super repetitive

[slim elk]

I actually did tho, but not for long

you're kinda right 😆

[rugged stratus]

if f10 was still a thing, new guys could get their 1k in like 16-17 hrs

[willow gale]

imo you should just let it happen. they come by just doing the normal stuff

[marsh tundra]

she look like she holding herself to not fall from hangover lmao

less drinking next time

[teal hinge]

didnt know rogue agents can show up in missions

i was about to kill a boss who is needed for field research.....

at least the nade yourself thing works

[cedar schooner]

Yeah it’s random but they can

Worth taking out though as they drop solid loot

Mostly

[teal hinge]

yeah killed them then reset the checkpoint with a nade

Ive picked up alot of weapon components randomly wonder whats going on

ah tasks for another day

[wispy merlin]

oh peter, he's a cool guy

[verbal topaz]

Lvl so high

[teal hinge]

would the game still be alive without countdown?

its so efficient

[wispy merlin]

yes

because once you're done with builds there are other activities that are better than countdown for farming other stuff

[teal hinge]

endgame insights nice

[teal hinge]

i just realised you can buy blueprint been farming for nothing...

momento backpack is elusive 😦

[muted ginkgo]

Ninjabike Backpack is showing a different appearance, is that a bug or?

[inner tendon]

If it's what I suspect it is, try putting on a gearset/high-end backpack instead, change the appearance, then put the NBB back on.

same bug happens with Memento. Enjoy it while it lasts.

[errant breach]

hi guys im doing the marian supply route, and im stuck on te part wave at the camera. it does not do anything love some help with it

this event is it ebst to disable directives for the challenges? all about speed right?

[hot ferry]

the spreadsheet doesn't have acostas kneepads, what do they do again?

[teal hinge]

Can i save my appreal caches for next season? no point opening them anymore?

[sudden matrix]

Typically the pool of items for normal appreal keys doesn't rotate. Once you have all the items most open them for textiles to spend at the vendor and that's it.

[hot ferry]

are they serious with this whole "new character every season" stuff?

I mean no lifes such as myself could pull off getting to the finish and end all 40 levels but we need to think about the general community in all this no?

[atomic coral]

Its why its been cancelled for now

I'm telling ya it wasn't Massives say in introducing it, all Ubisoft Execs

miss me with all that its what gaming companies do when the burn out kicks in

let the devs go home and rest

[sudden matrix]

#news-and-announcements message

[hot ferry]

thanks

[teal hinge]

ive watched documentaries and interviews on the lifestyle in the companies they are slowly killing the people who make our gaming dreams come true by over working them

[hot ferry]

personally I think they should allow people to turn rogue in a more permanent sense then let the game cook in the state its in (not counting bug fixes)

but last time I checked my opinions are never popular sooo

turning rogue permanently is not a small task though

you have to figure out how to let players still customize their gear and buy stuff and allat

[teal hinge]

i made a similar arguement for the first game issue is casual players didnt like coming home or chlling on the weekend to get rekt by the top 7% of players at the time the best farm was the dark zone

year 1/2 of the division for me was the best dark zone

let there be a dark zone and let there be areas outside and let both sectors farm for gear but the dark zone should net greater rewards

when i farm the dz and see the horrible stat rolls it kills the vibe

[hot ferry]

yeah dz is sad

I enjoy it from time to time

but I feel like it could be more

its risk for no real reward

[teal hinge]

only reason i go is the crazy hope to see eagle bearer drop and get a rush from extracting it knowing full well as new player i stand little chance

[teal hinge]

yeah gotta make up my own scenario to make it fun

[hot ferry]

REAL

when you are carrying some exotic (I found 2 once they were both pesti) you are running through a dark alley a squad runs past and you brown a little... thats what makes me drop by dz from time to time

[teal hinge]

glad i didnt throw this away for this event makes a huge difference for an emap nade

[teal hinge]

I dont get excited with pestilence drops in the dz anymore if i get one and i lose it no big deal its all i ever get there

[hot ferry]

exotic comps are exotic comps

better than the usual you come around there

[teal hinge]

guessing rerolling something it could get worse stats? will i get the choice to keep it or leave it?

[sudden matrix]

RNG baby, DTTOOC is the goal. Scrop is insane damage.

[teal hinge]

scared to test it on the exotic pistol it got better stats

i dont wanna nerf my scorp

[nimble spruce]

Get a second one, reroll whichever is worse

[teal hinge]

yeah been waiting

[sudden matrix]

Most are gonna optimize it to max anyway.

There always is the chance you get swap speed 10 times in a row too.

I know plenty of people who used up 20-30 exos rerolling and never got what they want.

[teal hinge]

its still early using other builds right now

i was thinking the reason im not getting max stat rolls is because i gotta do heroic runs

guessing theres target loot for mods?

[wispy merlin]

yes

[inner tendon]

The way difficulty works in div2 is that the higher it is, the better "worse possible rolls" your loot can get.
So you can get maxed out gear on Chall, but you're more likely to get it on Heroic, on average.

[teal hinge]

hmmm ok gotta test out heroic it will be time consuming might be best to wait till i get all the right gear, right now doing challenging with 3 directives

didnt take me long to max out my eclipse protocol gear... thank god i can put it away now...

[inner tendon]

Each Directive added increases the xp but also more importantly, gives you a tiny chance buff to getting the TL (targeted loot) you're looking for, Directives are 100% more important.
Just don't go below Challenging.

[teal hinge]

cool

[rugged stratus]

sorry in advance for spam and such 😅

Grand Washington Hotel is invaded this week.
Perfect week to start the Nemesis project, or get that blueprint you been waiting for.

After you get the Tidal Basin piece , change mode for District Union Arena back to invaded and complete again for another piece. with 2 pieces in hand set GWH back to invaded and the blueprint will drop. Nemesis can be farmed from MMR TL after that regardless of project completion.

[teal hinge]

blueprint for?

[rugged stratus]

nemesis exotic sniper rifle

its a long project and usually the blueprint is what holds up completion

[teal hinge]

saved me day in the future where i would of done it in more annying way

[summer canyon]

Okay, I feel crazy for asking this, but do hostile assaults to friendly control points happen more frequently in invaded areas?

[teal hinge]

killed my first rogue dude cleaned up a heroic site after i got owned from the npcs because he showed up

went back and i 2 shot him those shields are not as strong as i thought haha

[teal hinge]

I think I'm gonna sign up to a VPN and jump on EU and American servers to find more players in the darkzone

I doubled checked the footage took about 6 shots one of which popped he's shield must be a new player like me...

[inner tendon]

Make sure you check up on if the VPN you're paying for is trustworthy, there's lots of bad ones.

and don't bother with a free one, they're just going to use you for crypto-mining.

[teal hinge]

It's why I stopped using them and talking about that just realized what if I'm sharing the same IP as someone who's hacking through the same VPN on any Ubisoft game...

Dam.... Really liked that idea forgot about the risks gotta find out if the bans are account level or IP address level

[summer canyon]

I kinda have to use VPN since my ISP doesn't allow using Discord's voice chat

[sudden matrix]

wat?

[teal hinge]

That's wild man they want you to pay extra I'm guessing? I've heard rumors about isp doing this stuff never actually seen it. If this is the case

This reminded of division 1 for some reason when ll1ll101l just wipes your squad teleports off

https://youtu.be/D5krn88hjB8?si=gPBkntFjpUXyENvn

Found my old video man forgot I even had this YouTube account

Come a long way with editing music is too loud and text too small.

The part where I manage to use a shock grenade on the hacker and he almost dies is so satisfying dude must of been "shocked"

[rugged stratus]

ill do you a solid, and share this. mods are pretty strict about self promotion.

[wispy merlin]

this isn't the big big bar like the actual bosses do have

[sudden matrix]

Wright

[sudden matrix]

Lovebirds

[sudden matrix]

No no no that's his personal bar. We talking about boss bars.

[gritty flume]

boss it is

[marsh tundra]

not a boss

a named isnt a boss

but a boss is usually a named

[wispy merlin]

gospel is anything said by a youtuber

[marsh tundra]

but i cant blame people for saying its a boss, the entire div 1 and 2 logic said : if its named and inside a mission => its a boss

this is the exception and idk why

[sudden matrix]

I bet we could tag this youtuber and get their response if you'd believe them.

[rugged stratus]

i dont see an oreo in that ss 🤨

[gritty flume]

everywhere moss is mentioned as a boss

[wispy merlin]

bro, you look at guides written by people who don't use the same words the devs do

[rugged stratus]

record an oreo dropping from them and prove it ig

[gritty flume]

Sure , send me sth from devs which said incursion has 3 boss

[junior sequoia]

The Oreo is inside the bag pack

[gritty flume]

even that souless failed to do so

[sudden matrix]

I provided the official notes.

[marsh tundra]

send sth from devs saying moss is a boss that drop oreo

[gritty flume]

didn't say anything about 3 bosses

[wispy merlin]

you're implying that that's the only way to prove you wrong when the easiest way to prove you right is sending a clip

[plucky hawk]

Didn't say anything about 4 either

[sudden matrix]

Yeah didn't say anything about 4.

[wispy merlin]

beating around the bush fools no one lol

[plucky hawk]

Just curious Austin, how many clears have you done

[gritty flume]

exactly , so don't tell me to read things about devs

[sudden matrix]

where clip?

[gritty flume]

around 40

got the oreo around 20 from moss

[wispy merlin]

you're talking to no-lifers

who grind it to death

[gritty flume]

and no brainers it seems . since i already got that drop

[sudden matrix]

So tons would have this experience as well right? Sure to be proof out there.

[wispy merlin]

idk, the no brainer isn't sending a clip

[marsh tundra]

so you're the only person on earth to get it ? sounds fishy

[gritty flume]

sure , feel free to grind for those videos out there

[rugged stratus]

so it should be easy to clip then...

[sudden matrix]

I searched it already. Found nothing.

[wispy merlin]

bro is losing his point midway through, it's over

[gritty flume]

only ? looks like you didn't read what others said

[marsh tundra]

yeah, he doesnt prove anything but requires proofs to say he is wrong xd

[marsh tundra]

i did, they didnt drop fro moss

[sudden matrix]

lol that soulking is a second account 100%

[wispy merlin]

soulking13?

[sudden matrix]

#td2-general-chat message

[plucky hawk]

We can't prove a negative, all we can say is based on the number of runs both me, souless, and others have done without ever seeing anyone get one, it would be a literally a statistical miracle to have not seen one

[wispy merlin]

i know

[plucky hawk]

Oh look he literally joined the server today lol

[marsh tundra]

weird how you claim lot of people drop it from moss, yet you failed to give any proof, but we should trust your word for it, but you cant trust our proofs xd

[junior sequoia]

Mandela effect I guess

[gritty flume]

um

[marsh tundra]

at this point its more like "i wanna contradict people so bad"

[wispy merlin]

you single him out for what

[sudden matrix]

Oh look his first message was about this topic.

[marsh tundra]

whats the relevance here ?

[gritty flume]

You have no experience ?

[marsh tundra]

you doing ad hominem attacks now ?

i dont need experience i have proofs

[sudden matrix]

I mean you have about the same imo

[gritty flume]

proof of what xd

[wispy merlin]

goldfish card

[marsh tundra]

you have nothing and you attack me for proving you wrong

[gritty flume]

40 > 2 ? and i did got it ?

[sudden matrix]

Moss drop. Where clip? where screeny

[sudden matrix]

He probably got it too.

[marsh tundra]

900 > 40 xd

[gritty flume]

i don't record my game

[sudden matrix]

Some one would right?

[rugged stratus]

lets see a clip of it dropping. you can shut everyone up that way... otherwise this is pointless

[junior sequoia]

This channel is becoming full of this, I think we should kill this topic right here.

[gritty flume]

So you talk behalf of someone else ? how would you know he did 900 ? his words ?

[heady stirrup]

Are all the summer projects out?

[marsh tundra]

how do i know you did 40 ? your word ? :)

[sudden matrix]

If it drops at the same % as wright and lovebirds you'd see him provide about 1/4 of boss dropped ouros right?

[gritty flume]

i don't really care or have time tbh , just saw a wrong info about 3 bosses . just fixed it since we have 4 bosses that's all

[sudden matrix]

Probs more tho cause people don't finish.

[rugged stratus]

then why argue with no proof?

[sudden matrix]

You'd see TONS of images and vids of it.

[marsh tundra]

"i dont really care or have time" => proceed to spend 20min arguing about it

[gritty flume]

i didn't dare my self to speak about experience , just that moss dropped oreo for me

[marsh tundra]

and how do i know it did ? your word ? :)

[gritty flume]

When you respect people enough to answer while they reply to you ....

[marsh tundra]

sounds like your logic is circular

[marsh tundra]

thats not respect bud

[sudden matrix]

At this point it'd be easier to provide someone else screenshot or vid. Should be easy to find right?

[marsh tundra]

thats trolling, not good trolling either

[gritty flume]

seems like you don't know what it means i see

[marsh tundra]

see you're doing it again

ad hominem attacks cause you're been proven wrong

[wispy merlin]

when are we seeing Saucey join on august 13 saying something

[marsh tundra]

you're just toxic

so im done with you

[rugged stratus]

some people just want to see the world burn XD

time to send out some boom booms

[marsh tundra]

coincidentally, thats the purpose of the GE this week

lets blow stuff up

[junior sequoia]

Call the admins

[rugged stratus]

my time to shine bro

[marsh tundra]

yeah im playing spear rn, its a blast, litterally

[rugged stratus]

should make a mortar build. its quite ridiculous between mortar/hive/noob tube

[sudden matrix]

What do we call them?

[marsh tundra]

yeah but i dont like mortar :(

i like being mobile af

[rugged stratus]

you know its wicked low cooldown, right? leaving 50-100m damage in your bag.. just saying

HW seeker spam w/hive and btsu whould be pretty dope during hollywood as well

[marsh tundra]

Seeker is less annoying cause it's click and forget, but having to aim the mortar feels clunky

I know it's crazy strong I dont deny it, I just sont like the feeling

Tho I should use this évent to farm mortar proficiency tbh

Maybe ill give it a try

What is armor even

[lost vale]

the bra

[heady stirrup]

Unless your name is Quiet you are NOT going into a battlefield in a bikini

[junior sequoia]

Did you mean how? Just send DM to @ modmail.

[sudden matrix]

Not how, what.

[junior sequoia]

Moderators, AKA the orange name people here.

[turbid igloo]

Where do i get bighorn?

I forgot about where

[cedar schooner]

Legendary Bosses.

The best farm is legendary summit boss floors

Optimally 90

[turbid igloo]

Oh

I'm going to suffer ain't i?

[cedar schooner]

Probably

[junior sequoia]

Or fly in your case

It's kinda easy with drone and turret build

[turbid igloo]

I'm with a legendary Eagle bearer build

[junior sequoia]

Striker?

[turbid igloo]

Yep

Generic as hell

[weary junco]

So the first project, complete missions whilst groups. This can't be control points? Has to be an actual mission like an shd one or something?

[turbid igloo]

Now i'm with drone turret

[cedar schooner]

Needs to be an open world activity

[junior sequoia]

Just try not to die from the suic1de drones and grenades, kill nameds, loot, don't clear the area and repeat

[weary junco]

So propaganda broadcast would count as a mission?

[cedar schooner]

Oh crap

[junior sequoia]

Mission is mission. What isn't a mission is activity.

[cedar schooner]

No you’re on the mission part. Need to be an actual mission. Just matchmake missions tbh

[weary junco]

How long is left on the seasonal projects btw?

[atomic coral]

Legendary boss drops as mentioned before, or if you're stupidly lucky like me, from the Dark Zone

[atomic coral]

Summer Project is available for 2 weeks, one of which has happened already

Its literally just matchmaking stuff

[atomic coral]

Theres a matchmaking tab on the map menu, queue for missions there ig

Thats what I did, not really like I had a choice since xbox matchmaking is iffy anyway

[weary junco]

I see, so how long is left for the cowboy one? I'm on project 6 atm so should be ok if its till the end of this week

[atomic coral]

Theres only 7 projects

Final one is just a donate 50 water to the project

Gives the cooler and the cowboy shades

[nocturne pebble]

Hey, I am attempting to complete the technician and I’m in stage 4 my last objective is to neutralize the raven by shooting the ammo pack on his back, I’ve done that, the mission is on normal not story, it is the right variant and it is also not invaded, I’ve shot the ammo pack, waited for it to stop sparking, then killed him, I’ve done this 3 times now and the objective still hasn’t completely?!?!?!? Does anyone know why?

[cedar schooner]

It might need to be on hard not normal

[nocturne pebble]

Gotcha, thank you so much!

[clever fjord]

Can someone confirm if drip and psycho need to be fought at night or anytime?

[rugged stratus]

i followed this, but a long time ago. it should still be good info https://youtu.be/s-RzTJdOEhE?si=EdsZtM9XH17BVHZz

[teal hinge]

this leaderboard event is for solo runs right?

like not 4 stacks?

[wispy merlin]

you can do it solo or grouped, doesn't matter

[teal hinge]

....balance comp

[teal hinge]

at devs for missions let the regional matchmaking happen like countdown 200ms is fine in pve

raids its different

actually even raids its doable

[cedar yacht]

The main problem is that theres alot of casual players. So I don’t think that would happen until the of the games development cycle.

[teal hinge]

take it as a win for my first runs i imagine other people group up

[teal hinge]

where are the sticky bomb mods

havent seen a single one

[vapid nest]

I just had a really stupid idea for a gear set in the shower and want to know how bad it is.
Name: Trojan Horse
Core Attribute: Weapon Damage
2 Pieces: +20% SMG Damage, +20% Reload Speed
3 Pieces: +30% Accuracy
Talent: In Plain Sight
Mechanic: At the start of combat, receive the Malicious buff. While active enemies are not hostile toward you for 15 seconds unless fired upon, or using a skill.
Killing an enemy within 3 meters applies disorient to all enemies within 10 meters and refreshes Malicious. Cooldown of 15 seconds.
Chest Talent (Accelerated Payload): Reduces cooldown of Malicious to 10 seconds.
Backpack Talent (Covert Delivery): Increases the duration of Malicious to 20 seconds.

Thoughts?

[cedar yacht]

Killing an enemy within 3 meters applies disorient to all enemies within 10 meters and refreshes Malicious.
So what you’re saying is if you have enough burst you’re practically invincible?
Imagine using hh with it 💀

[teal hinge]

over here wondering why are the control point enemies so strong realise lvl 4 = heroic definately not ready what takes 5mins takes 10+mins

[teal hinge]

challenge is fun

[vapid nest]

I never said it would be a good idea.

[teal hinge]

your idea has me think of a set where you pick the bonuses and upgrade pieces through challenges in the end end game before the 3rd diviion

[vapid nest]

Also to be fair, you'd be surprised how many people suffer from bad aim syndrome even at 3 meters.

[hot ferry]

is there anything that goes in the "feed slot" that helps for recon drone

[nimble spruce]

If you run a good sniper build you can one shot everyone regardless of difficulty. Works fine with all directives too

[teal hinge]

coyotes mask is a waste at this point right? 55% crit chance

[kind cove]

Crit damage.

You should be wearing it for the crit damage

[civic dagger]

Thinking of returning to the game, is the dark zone worthwhile for grinding gear or anything or is the main purpose still pvp?

[cedar yacht]

It’s mainly for pvp

If you want gear countdown is way better

[rugged stratus]

youll most likely be mid range coyote buff with elmo, you can safely be around 50%chc. you can swap a mod to chd. just be mindfull if still filling out the crit chance buff on the watch, and just make adjustments as you can to stay in the same crit chance range

[weary junco]

Is it possible to use ingame chat on console without a keyboard?

[kind cove]

Yes

Should be down on Dpad

[weary junco]

That's just emotes for me

[marsh tundra]

i love not being able to progress

[wispy merlin]

lmfao

[marsh tundra]

yep

had to restart the entire mission

[cedar schooner]

Rip rogues

[wispy merlin]

"I don't wanna hurt you" literally

and invaded bank HQ rogues don't spawn

i hated that

[junior sequoia]

Check accessibility settings

[teal hinge]

1000 dz drops

Exotics are 0.074% eagle bearer?

Let's not forget other exotics dropping I

[cedar schooner]

It’s low

[marsh tundra]

thats not how % drop rate works

if its 0.074% drop chance for 1000 dz drop it would be (1-0.074)^1000 to get the chances to not drop it

[wispy merlin]

wdym 60% chc means i don't get 60 shots to crit within my last 100

why math too hard?

[marsh tundra]

no idea, but if while inspecting somebody you can just check the build

[rugged stratus]

just switch to mortars, never worry about chc again... just gotta keep them buckets full 🪣

[slim elk]

Please Mr. Nego and Mortar leave us alone

[wispy merlin]

you like my (bullet) buckets?

[hollow kestrel]

I’m about to enter the Summit. Any recommendations for targeted loot?

[marsh tundra]

whatever you need

[rugged stratus]

if youre planning on using dps, ceska and groupo would be a good place to start. then striker, and nego.
all with crit rolls

[teal hinge]

let me be delusional this one time haha

gonna try a skill build thinking hard wired

which build for using the shield and smg?

[hot ferry]

anyone know how big the brooklyn map is gonna be?

[slim elk]

You cannot upgrade Castle because of the story and what happened to it

[inner tendon]

Actually you can upgrade it yeah, you just upgrade it via the story.

[teal hinge]

that settlement thats empty from the attack is a real vibe killer and heart breaker...

[inner tendon]

@teal hinge I think it's common enough knowledge by now, but just in case it's not, don't read the comments above yours.

[weary junco]

Sometimes there is a ball shaped thing hanging from my backpack which glows green in the dark. Is this just a random cosmetic for some backpacks?

[nimble spruce]

Check the backpack trophy section of your apparel menu

Or it's a skill (eg restorer hive) or a detail on one particular backpack skin

[marsh tundra]

restorer hive, your skills are on your bp, and their color is the color code for your skill

[weary junco]

Ah ok makes sense as I switched to my hive just now and it appeared. Do any other skills have visual aspects to them like that?

[nimble spruce]

All skills are visible on your backpack when not in use, some are just more obvious than others

[marsh tundra]

all of them, they are just placed on other places

[weary junco]

Ok I'll have to see if I can see them all. I think I see the turret right by where my gun sits on the backpack

[teal hinge]

First time on heroic i thought med kits heal the broken armour?

loving the challenge honestly though almost at the boss floor with no armour?

[wispy merlin]

directive bugged

[teal hinge]

dam well it is what it is

[sudden matrix]

Fragile armor. First one on the left.

It's a super common bug and to fix it you either need to visit a safe space(safe house or in your case go back to the lobby) or you can unalive yourself and respawn OR unalive yourself and fully go down and have a team mate revive you, in the case of being revived you'll still have armor breaks but at least you can fix them. Also cool info you quick medkit(double tap heal buttun quickly) will remove armor breaks if it's not bugging.

[teal hinge]

gonna try the boss fight with just one bar if i fail i get refreshed no biggie

[sudden matrix]

Just kill him yo. Also idk if you are aware but you can bring the GE into the summit.

[teal hinge]

ge?

[wispy merlin]

global event

[sudden matrix]

Global event.

[wispy merlin]

Hollywood is the current GE

[teal hinge]

oh yeah its on helps but when i got no nades its troublesom

[sudden matrix]

You can use EMP jammer and your spec weapons along side other explosive skills.

[summer canyon]

^

Explosive skill builds are very handy in Hollywood GE

[teal hinge]

funny enough felt easier without it

yeah rocking this

helps with the event

got through it

love how you can play this game in different ways

trying to get momento

first one

second one

second is better right?

[wispy merlin]

neither

keep 1 and reroll the other to chc
