[atomic coral]

Thing is, the remaining LMB in NYC got absorbed into the White Tusk

At least, I'd assume thats the idea behind it

[stoic palm]

And I’m guessing the white tusk is a part of the black tusk

[atomic coral]

White Tusk is the legendary stronghold people

So yeah, more elite black tusk

[stoic palm]

Then I guess I’ll change the idea to raid on the white tusk. They’ll have a base of operation somewhere and you managed to find it and you launch an assault on it with keener and some of his friends and manage to convince so true sons to gas the backside of gate and get help from Theo Parnell to bomb the front gate and at the end board on hover craft with conveniently has a marauder drone and you Isac into it and you get rewarded with a random exotic at the end and with to another chest with the exotic you want

[weary junco]

So just to clarify, you can change the last stat on an exotic, but you can't increase the core attributes like you can on non exotic gear?

[slim elk]

you can optimise

[kind cove]

LMB are most likely (not confirmed in any way) to be reintroduced as an enemy faction when the next dlc drops

As the dlc is gonna be a paid dlc set still within new york

[weary junco]

Ok I guess the comment under the ouroboros roll awhile back was sarcasm then

[slim elk]

which one?

[stoic palm]

So if they are my idea is where you strike a treaty them with to attack the white tusk with you Keener, what’s left of the true sons and the remaining LMB

[kind cove]

Unlikely

[stoic palm]

But I can dream

[kind cove]

LMB only will come back for gameplay reasons, as lore wise they are completely wiped out as a faction

[weary junco]

This was your reply. It was the comment by desk after but guess I didn't see the emoji the first time

[stoic palm]

Oh at this point I just really want a new raid

[weary junco]

Definitely don't want to work with the true sons

[kind cove]

Hell no, incursions yes raid no

The raids are mid at best

We need another incursion

[open mountain]

??

[stoic palm]

Sorry that I want to kill the leader of the black tusk with incendiary mortars

[open mountain]

raids are goat chill out

more of both 🔥🔥🔥

[kind cove]

In other games absolutely

[open mountain]

and in div

[kind cove]

The incursion better fits division

[stoic palm]

And I also want to read an entire fleet, all those hovercrafts with the ending being killing Sokolova

[kind cove]

We need another incursion with less focus on damage checks (since they lied about this first one not being a damage checks)

[open mountain]

and raids are a welcomed addition/extension

[open mountain]

it is a damage check for most though..

[kind cove]

Thats what I said

[open mountain]

so it a damage check

just not for everyone

so they succeeded

[kind cove]

?

[stoic palm]

New idea an incursion that leads to a raid where you raid a black tusk base of operations where Sokolova is located but gets away but you hack into three marauder drones and send an attack on a fleet of black tusk hovercraft and finally kill Sokolova

First boss: 3 hunters

Second boss: two chimera from the previous manhunt mission

Third boss: a literal APC with auto cannon machine guns rockets drones and 3 warhonuds similar to the dark hours ones

Fourth boss: an very heavily armored MBT with drones rockets and machine guns but many weak points

Final boss: fourth boss with abilities and warhounds from third boss and a marauder drone

Ending: kill Sokolova

[kind cove]

Thats

Did you flunk school

Thats the only way I can comprehend what you just stated

They in the stream before the release of the incursion said it wasn’t going to be a damage check

Now I love the incursion in div2

However, they lied, every single encounter is a damage check

A damage check is when you are timed or receive negative effects for not killing something fast enough

[storm lake]

Where do I spend my shd points

[kind cove]

The shd watch in your inventory

[open mountain]

i didn’t watch the stream brah

idgaf that much

[kind cove]

Even that it still is a flaw of the incursion

Over reliance on damage check encounters

Still great

[marsh tundra]

sokolova isnt meant to die, and hunters arent meant to engage with a lot of people around, but be sneaky

[stoic palm]

The idea seemed better in my head

[marsh tundra]

lot of ideas do

and coding them/balancing is even worse usually

[stoic palm]

I guess it could take out the hunters part and the Sokolova dying part I just for the first boss being onslaught of white tusk

[marsh tundra]

thats not really fun or raid material tbh

raids need coordination, puzzles to solve, and good gear

just endless waves of npc or uber tanky boss isnt the way

think dark hours, first boss is immune until you break him with the turret

and shield gen are up every once in a while if you dont stop them

its not complicated, but its the basis of raid mechanics

just tankier boss/more enemies isnt good gameplay

[knotty smelt]

Anyone here found the "bad actor" in Foggy Bottom???

Thanks in adavnce

[eager walrus]

Hello, is anyone else having an issue after the new update, where when your shooting an enemy your own armor goes down? As if your shooting yourself? This has happened 3 separate times

[open mountain]

its a glitch going on around

good luck agent!

[eager walrus]

This is the most recent event, if i don't notice it i damn near kill myself

[eager walrus]

Has anyone else mention anything?

[open mountain]

yea its annoying 😡

[open mountain]

i dont think so

its a xbox only i think

i only notice it when im on xbox

[eager walrus]

Yeah man I thought i was legit going crazy, and I was like ."someone else has to be having this problem".. is there any solutions?

[open mountain]

nope

[nimble spruce]

It's just ||any bounty in the area. If you don't have any available, run a public execution or hostage rescue activity in the area to get one||

[knotty smelt]

I've seen it too just the other night on PS4

[knotty smelt]

Thanks, I thought of a bounty but nothing has been showing up in the area, will look for those!!!

[eager walrus]

Yeah this shit has happened 6x in the last 30 minutes of me playing man...I can't even enjoy the game right now

[storm lake]

Whats the best exotic farm for solo

[kind cove]

Countdown

Target farm, and buy exotic caches every 2 to 3 runs

[lapis pelican]

Anyone know why i cant accept this journey Mission Finished reward?

[tardy warren]

i thought you needed 6 to complete each journey?

i think its improperly marked as complete, because they each need 6 to be completed. not 100% sure though.

[thick dock]

6 needed you have 5

[lapis pelican]

But it says completed on screen 😮

[tardy warren]

ANNA is lying to you ig

[thick dock]

You need to complete 6

It says it at the top

[willow epoch]

where do you go to farm the best weapons? (I feel like my weapons are overpowered but they only do like 400k to 600k

[tardy warren]

The big C

Countdownnnnnnnn

[willow epoch]

the big C?

[storm lake]

Where do I build them at

[tardy warren]

Countdown vendor (they’re by the big crate next to the season vendor at BOO)

You get countdown credits for extracting and killing hunters

Hunter dogtags are your primary source of countdown credits, which you have to pickup from their bodies

Need Gear? Guns? Exotics? Crafting Mats? Countdown is the way!

Tell your friends, and have them tell their friends.

[marsh tundra]

Weapon do damage depending on your build

[willow epoch]

I don't even know what my build is

[marsh tundra]

À good portion of the game is finding out what build you want and getting it

Look gear stats and talents to figure something that you might like

You can go to #td2-build-advice for more info with pinned message that has a link to spreadsheet for builds

[willow epoch]

All right

[marsh tundra]

Idk about rafting mats tho

[prisma bridge]

Question if I deconstruct the nemesis would I be able to get the adrestia again from tidal basin would I be screwed

[wispy merlin]

i think you can, but if you already had nemesis it means you have the blueprint, so you could just farm the nemesis itself again

unless you haven't done the quest and someone dropped nemesis for you

[inner tendon]

@prisma bridge You can get an extra copy of the Adrestia if you run Tidal Basin+get the key, as long as that character, or your Stash, doesn't have a Nemesis in it.
So just move it to another character and it'll spawn again.

If you want another copy of Nemesis once you have the Blueprint: it's added to your Targeted Loot, so it's best just to farm that.

[prisma bridge]

Got it thanks

[waxen ice]

Someone just told me that ouro was added to the general loot pool, just wanted to double check it

I got one out of the incursion, so I dunno if they mean out of the loot pool once you get it from the Incursion, or if it's available without, or if they just have bad info

[willow epoch]

Someone told me that countdown is one of the best ways to get loot, is that true

[waxen ice]

Yes, countdown is a fast way to get a lot of loot. Matchmake for challenging and stick with the team, you should do fine

[inner tendon]

It's a lie.

It'll never be added to the LZ pool.

[rugged stratus]

ill just add that if you have any nemesis parts it wont drop adrestia. usually not the case but sometimes people get nem dropped or its in the loot pool before project is actually finished. im guessing this is for expertise

[waxen ice]

I figured, ty

[willow epoch]

All right

[inner tendon]

The best part about Countdown (CD), outside of the sheer amount of loot you get, is that every 2-3 runs, you can buy an Exotic Cache from its Vendor at the White House (BoO), there's a laptop out near the Helicopter.

[storm lake]

How do I get supply drops to happen

[rugged stratus]

Lootcifer sacrifices

[inner tendon]

Capture Control Points that are nearby to each other, and then "green activites" start spawning in.

[willow epoch]

I managed to get the full set of Hunter fury

[pale canopy]

I guess going to NY is not worth as I keep getting kicked only when I am in NY

[willow epoch]

Hope you get to NY soon 😔

[dusky phoenix]

is Countdown bascially the best content?

[inner tendon]

Countdown is for farming most loot, div2 doesn't really have a "single best content".

[chilly fjord]

What does server shutdown imminent mean

[inner tendon]

It's a visual glitch.

the server is "reset" each day, in about an hour and 50 minutes, but that shouldn't kick you out.

[upbeat edge]

Delta 3 error keeps coming now. I have continuous network tester running and it's not my internet connection what is causing this.

Someone else has same problem?

[nimble spruce]

In the NY map? Yes, it's known and being worked on. DC is much more stable.

[upbeat edge]

Yes, in the NY map.

[fallow inlet]

Hey Kettle congratulations on the promotion

Hey Rivens, Local

[nimble spruce]

Hey Saph

[rugged stratus]

Good Morning ☕

[haughty plume]

Good morning ☀️

[feral walrus]

my armor and health drain faster after hitting one specific enemy (mostly from Heavy) in Heroic difficulty. Is that caused by enemy's talent?

[nimble spruce]

Open your inventory, select the new shd brick icon (next to spec weapon), read everything on that page, then hit the Hostile modifiers button and read everything there. You'll get the answer you need plus a bunch of other useful information

[final sigil]

are "stalker" hunters killable? I just was thinking about it for the funny.

[nimble spruce]

yes but requires very quick DPS output (or strong one-shot tactics) to be successful

[final sigil]

oneshot tactic with tapper shouldnt be that hard this season lol

[nimble spruce]

yeah it'll definitely be easier than usual

[vital magnet]

lul why are they dropping broken picaros now

[storm lake]

What should you prioritize when doing countdown solo

[vital magnet]

i would say group wide buffs to simplify your life

ongoing directive, or future initiative

[final sigil]

Picaro's was nerfed from 15% to 10%

they just didnt fix the bar vissual

[vital magnet]

okay...

not sure why that needed a nerf but ok

[final sigil]

cause it was best in slot for quite few builds I guess

[storm lake]

Don’t got ps plus so I got to do it solo

[regal summit]

It was perfectly balanced in pve, but it was a staple in pvp

[vital magnet]

solo countdown? brother no

[storm lake]

I know

We in them trenches rn

[final sigil]

best of luck

[daring wren]

Is it even possible to finish Countdown solo?

[final sigil]

ive almost finshed it solo on hard

[daring wren]

Doesn’t sound like a fun time lol

[maiden robin]

Is flinch a default thing or is it tied to weapon handling? Took a small break before the new season and after switching off Striker’s it feels like my reticle bounces all over when my shield is being shot. Or is it just placebo?

[wispy merlin]

default, you always flinch when getting shot

[maiden robin]

Right. But it seems a bit excessive. Maybe it’s just in my head tho lol

[weary junco]

Yes if you don't mind leaving loot around

[glad cliff]

Hahaha I'm stuck like this

[rugged stratus]

ALT+F4 fixes it

[lost lynx]

Had this lvl 40 assault rifle since lvl 30 name: THE DRILL and it melts

[kind cove]

I think you don’t understand how builds work

[rocky tulip]

so is it better for heroic or challenging on countdown ?

[nimble spruce]

Challenging generally

[glossy nymph]

Anyone have the redeemed True Son uniform yet? I wanna see what it looks like

[slim elk]

Short answer: Challenging

Long answer: Heroic is often emptier and MM will take waaaay longer. Plus, loot quality isn't that different from Challenging, enemies are stronger (dmg/armor wise) and CD req is also if not the same.

[south moth]

Is the Ninja Bike backpack talent bugged?

[kind cove]

No

Why would it be

[south moth]

On a umbra build that I have, I need to switch to an other backpack and back in order to get the talent to work. Doesn't increase the gear tier by 1

In certain circumstances. Possibly only in DZ and conflict

[kind cove]

Thats a bug with umbra not ninja

Umbra keeps disabling whenever you go in and out of safe zones

[south moth]

Oh okay thanks

[old topaz]

what up everyone

[final sigil]

alright chat whats next

[tardy warren]

Nemesis

[final sigil]

planned on it.

[wispy merlin]

decent

[final sigil]

idk if I should just wait for the server fix to do the rikers

I cant think of a place that spawns throwers or engis very well

[inner tendon]

Summit is an alternate option if you want to try now, but it's kinda RNG if they spawn.

[tardy warren]

Summit is what I used for specific enemy types

[inner tendon]

The fix should be going live in just under 10 hours, assuming it's not sooner/later.

(that's factoring in the 3hrs downtime)

[final sigil]

ik ;-;

[cursive wind]

I made myself a pestilence build ages ago that I stopped using ages ago. I recently put it back together for fun, and it seems the debuff got changed at some point? It used to stack on any npc I shot at, and it transferred all stacks upon death and it would combine stacks if there were existing ones, and (as I remember) it was basically unstoppable until every npc was done. Just continuous adding stacks and transferring. It seems like it only stacks on one npc now and you're lucky if the stacks transfer, and if they do, they never combine. Did they patch that recently, or is that a known bug or what?

[mellow trout]

The transfer has a range and the ticks have a time limit

[cursive wind]

They don't refresh when you shoot them again?

[rancid dirge]

What’s better for an LMG dmg to armor or chc? As far as rolls go.

[mellow trout]

They should

[cursive wind]

Hmm. I'll double check, I don't think they were last time I played it. It was real frustrating.

[golden pawn]

this a good roll on this?

[mellow trout]

Nah

Recalibration library fodder

[tardy warren]

Yeah that’s not great. Just grab the HSD

[willow epoch]

Is it possible to kill those darm rogue agents in summits

[kind cove]

Yes

You most likely don’t have a good enough build

[willow epoch]

I found a chest..

But it says I need a thing called the summit access key

[tardy warren]

They are sporadically placed across the area

Some are obvious, some are not

[inner tendon]

There is actually a set of rules to how they spawn.

The key will spawn somewhere between the last chest and the next one, (not counting Boss rooms) and will make a noise when it does.
e.g. the key for floor 6, will spawn within floor 4, 5, or 6. The crate is at the end, just before the exit at 6.```

[tardy warren]

I see

[willow epoch]

Viper is exotic weapon not named weapon right?

[tardy warren]

Do you mean the diamondback exotic weapon? I don’t know any exotics named viper

[willow epoch]

Viper it's a shotgun

Supposedly it's a good shotgun to try to get summit and countdown

[tardy warren]

Hmmm

Do you know what it does?

The only thing that comes to mind that sounds somewhat similar is the scorpio

There is no named shotgun nor exotic called Viper

[wispy merlin]

there are only 3 exotic shotguns in this game and none are called viper

4 if you count the other sweet dreams but you know

[willow epoch]

Let me see if my friend said the name correctly-

[willow epoch]

ahhh you right

My mind mixed Scorpio with viper

[tardy warren]

Scorpio is a good gun, would recommend

[willow epoch]

I don't know why

Is there any good exotic light machine guns

[tardy warren]

Pestilence can be good.

Iron Lung seems interesting but I don’t have a good build for it nor own one yet.

[wispy merlin]

it's good last patch, it got nerfed this patch but haven't heard from people whether it's still good or not

it was a top contender last patch

[willow epoch]

I'm barely on floor 13-

I don't know what floors have chances of dropping exotic weapons

[tardy warren]

Capacitor is one of the rewards for first time clear but it’s random drops otherwise

[wispy merlin]

not how it works. enemies have drop chances scaling with difficulty and veterancy and other things but not by floor

[willow epoch]

For clearing all 100 floors?

[wispy merlin]

no, for doing 5 challenges

[willow epoch]

Five challenges in summit? Or five challenges in general

[wispy merlin]

in summit

[tardy warren]

In the summit map tab it should show you the rewards

[willow epoch]

capacitor is a gun right?

[tardy warren]

Yes

[willow epoch]

What type of gun is it

[wispy merlin]

AR

[tardy warren]

Assault rifle

[willow epoch]

It's a decent assault rifle right?

[wispy merlin]

well

not in most builds people run

but in some builds it's really strong

[willow epoch]

Need it for real

I complete all these challenges on any difficulty right?

[tardy warren]

Basically a better version of the In-Sync talent, and each skill core adds 7.5% weapon damage

[tardy warren]

Whatever the challenge requirements are, yeah

[willow epoch]

All right

I'm going to get back to the summits

[vital magnet]

wonder if the guy i met in darkzone that landed only headshots, and is named EasyAntiCheats, and SHD level 10k is legit or not 😂 👌

[willow epoch]

are exotics weapons better than named weapons? Or does it depend on what Exotic/Named weapon

[charred gulch]

depends

[willow epoch]

So is Scorpio the best shotgun where is there another named/Exotic Shotgun that's better then scorpio

[charred gulch]

I either use "Like glue" or acs12 for pve it all depends on your build.

[wispy merlin]

no

it all depends

[willow epoch]

are those exotic, or high-end?

[wispy merlin]

same goes for exotic gear

[charred gulch]

high-end

[willow epoch]

😔 gotta have that good rng

[kind cove]

You need to read talents

Something being good is both a combination of the stats it has and the talent it has

[willow epoch]

I understand the talents but not the stats that much

[vital magnet]

scorpio in particular is a very hard to answer. its amazing to have at least one, but preferably not more than one, in your group, just so everyone can benefit from the debuff it gives. but for soloing its not that great.

its typically a support weapon used by healers, eclipse, etc, in conjunction with opportunistic etc

but like the others said above, there's no one correct answer or one weapon that is obviously better than others, almost never

[willow epoch]

i just like using shotgun 😔 I don't have any specific class like medic or something else

trying to get the best exotic shotgun for solo player

[mellow trout]

Scorpio is basically dead now

But before the nerf it was completely busted

[vital magnet]

i think i understand where your mind is at in regards to hunting exotic.. you want to get an exotic because you are thinking of it in traditional RPG rarity.. rare, epic, legenary etc.. and you are thinking that exotics are the best because they are the most rare.

this is not the case for division. the thing about exotics is that they have a unique and very specific ability, that may or may not be useful, in certain builds. some builds play around the exotic ability to emphasize its strengths, but there is nothing about the exotic itself that makes it better than the high-end equivalent

ofc there are exceptions where the ability is broken and just makes the item stand out above all others

in this case i would say there isnt a single good exotic shotgun, except for scorpio - but its a support shotty.

personally i would say top-fed guns (like scorpio), are some of the worst picks. because you are spending way too much time reloading instead of shooting

acs for shotguns if anything

[final sigil]

I find "like glue" to work well for shotguns

Cuélebre is also one of the best shotguns for putting out stustain damage

[vital magnet]

but they work exclusively on short range, medium to an extent

[final sigil]

correct

hypathicaly the db "can" be used at longer ranges if you build a very odd setup for it

The new named mask also does come with a +50% opimal range that might find use in a shotgun setup

[vital magnet]

i can respect his desire to play with shotguns. i am a shotgun guy myself, i usually am picking shotguns in shooters, when they are viable. i have to say they truly are not very remarkable in division. you are severely limiting what you can do, and when you can do it, so the overall feeling of playing with shotgun is pretty bad...

if u want shotguns to be good, im afraid youll have to go play escape from tarkov instead, because division aint it. thats the harsh truth

[rugged stratus]

Head hunter hunters fury with m870 is pretty much one of the top 5 builds

[vital magnet]

thats with determined, right?

i dont get that build, seems like a complete gimmick

[rugged stratus]

Determined doesnt exist on shotguns. Pummel

[vital magnet]

oh right

i think headhunter without determined is just pain

[half leaf]

emmm,sorry buddies iwanna ask is this game currently under going maintence?

[half leaf]

emm,This is global time or European time, I happen to be playing in Asian?

[vital magnet]

it is printed in ur local time

there is a note that the servers are down for maintenance and you get an ingame message saying the servers are down... you still dont understand?

[half leaf]

ouh oke,thanks you for information have a nice day

[vital magnet]

https://discord.com/channels/477210626742288384/489377254833651714

[wary spoke]

Is the pinned spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice the most up-to-date, or is there a better alternative?

[cedar yacht]

Its slightly out dated but its relatively the same

[rugged stratus]

Luckily with shotgun you have 8 pellets and only 1 has to hit the head for headhunter to stay stacked. regulus HH builds cant utilize determined either, but are also top tier builds.
Determined is nice, but it's also broke af to the point where they changed the wording on the talent rather that fixing the body shot chaining.

[vital magnet]

i know determined is broken, but its a fair compromise with the janky ass movement of NPCS

long range sniping against xXx Neo "The One" xXx

hell no

[wispy merlin]

i mean you can still snipe with determined in HHF

i'm not kidding when i say that

[vital magnet]

uhh.. with shotguns? lol

[wispy merlin]

no

[rugged stratus]

You would see a lot less HH build if it was fixed. Ppl I think feel like they're hot sht with determined... well, until a red bar hyena rusher comes in and trashes the stack

[wispy merlin]

mmr

[vital magnet]

hotshot is way better then

hotshot chainkiller determined is what i use most of the time

[wispy merlin]

yeah but there's a playstyle where you rush in their face with determined mmr

[rugged stratus]

With ninja right

[olive harbor]

They did not fix the umbra bug?

[vital magnet]

why would i wanna do that

[wispy merlin]

because hunter's fury

[vital magnet]

there's no reason to use hunter's fury in a build like that

u have more than enough dmg already

[wispy merlin]

it's the CC and healing

[rugged stratus]

Its aggressive headhunter

[wispy merlin]

but yeah just saying it's possible and some people do it

[rugged stratus]

Speed run benefits a lot from Hf

[vital magnet]

i mean, im not disputing that it works, it just seems like a weird way to play. im already doing all that with hotshot and it feels way more versatile than any HF setup. but to each their own

[wispy merlin]

japanese players do weird stuff

especially when they speedrun this game

[rugged stratus]

Hhf very strong. I dont really use it myself. I just roll highend hybrid for regulus when I use it or reanimated is going

[wispy merlin]

all my streams are just me sniping in open world with optimist white death in HHF

[rugged stratus]

Non ninja hybrid *

Havent even added whitedeath to any of my builds . M700 carbon still does quite well

With the seasonal shit I'm regularly hit 37m. Probably 28-29mil without the modifiers

[wispy merlin]

you mean you deleted all your white deaths?

jk

[rugged stratus]

No, I still have. I'm not rash like that. Exp 25 is still expensive even with the reduced cost

[wispy merlin]

i have 2 exp 20 white deaths i can't let go and i'm glad i didn't

[rugged stratus]

Yeah the way this game is you never know when something is gonna rise to the top

[vital magnet]

having favoured the SR1 personally, because of its many mod slots compared to t he others. fast reload because its a magazine, and still holds pretty much same dmg as the top snipers

[rugged stratus]

carbon and sr1 are pretty much the same. ive got both in builds depending on the alt im using.

[vital magnet]

i think i got maxed stability and accuracy on mine because of the mods. which is quite nice

and thats why i cant stand to use white death. its just sluggish and the tiny dmg difference doesnt make up for it

[mellow trout]

i run a tac 308 now cuz everything else feels slow

[rancid dirge]

Glad they fixed the call for back-up function

[unreal ether]

does PVP damage scale? for example if i was a level 50 in dark zone and i face a level 200 player with the same weapon, will i do about the same damage to him as he does to me or will he do significantly more damage to me?

[wispy merlin]

doesn't scale with shd level, but his watch bonuses are higher

[rugged stratus]

i think i ran more countdown this week than the last 4 months . priority objectives keep sending me there you get all my passives unlocked

at least i got this sweetness to keep me company there 😎

supp guys. I'm thinking of getting back into the game after a long hiatus. I don't remember much. Is it better to stay with my profile or try with a new one for a “tutorial” with the basics?

What do you guys think about this?

Can I transfer items from the first profile to the second one if I recalled the game? Or through a friend?

[vital magnet]

progress is account locked, obviously.

you can make a new character on your account though if u are rusty

[narrow matrix]

Not worth replaying, play on lower difficulty till you get used to it, for modifiers and what not / expertise the game does a decent job of explaining it

[lilac latch]

Hmm.. heart build still viable? Maybe with this build it would be easier to back to the game.

[willow epoch]

What is y'all's opinion on The vindicator?

[rugged stratus]

Good component

[rocky tulip]

ok am i crazy? my heartbreaker has 5.8% crit hit chance and i wanted to optimize it but its not letting me it keeps saying item atrributes need to be extracted??? what does tht have to do with me optimizing by using resources? i just want to upgrade it to 6.0% lol

[daring wren]

You probably don’t have a 6% in your library

[wispy merlin]

you need that 6% in the library first

[rocky tulip]

okay i was under impression u didnt need tht for optimization lol thank yall!

[civic gull]

is buying the dlc the only way to unlock the decoy?

[junior sequoia]

It's too OP it can damage the player a lot if you're not careful. You need to watch out for their axe while walking through mansions and... Oh sorry, wrong game.

[willow epoch]

that's crazy 😔

[inner tendon]

Any purchase of the game now includes the DLC, but if you already own it: yes you'll need to buy WONY.

[civic gull]

bruh

[inner tendon]

It goes on sale for ridiculously low prices at this stage of its life. If all else fails: Black Friday/Christmas/Halloween should have one.

[mild wolf]

I have two questions the first one is the quiet roar have increased drop in Jefferson trade center and the second one is there is gonna be a lvoa c assault rifle?

And another question I can level the gun damage for example I have a stoner lamg with 17k damage but I use weapons with 84k damage I can level up the gun damage?

[narrow matrix]

LVOA is already auto so doubt it

And no if you have a level 17 gun and you want it to be a level 40 gun no can do sir

Only exotics

[tough marsh]

And yes to the first question

[kind cove]

Weeeeellllll

Currently there is a lvoa in the ar category in expertise

So thats odd

[grim thicket]

Can you still buy stinger outfit with textiles?

[visual burrow]

Apologies if I'm being a dumb dumb.
So I have td2 on disc on xbox one,
I also have xbox series s.
Xbox one is past its best but has all my saved data (70+ hours).
So I want to continue my save on xbox series S.
I'm assuming I will have to purchase a digital version of game?
Is that all i need to do?
Once I load back in I can continue where I left off?
Normally on pc so bit out of practice and don't want to loose all my progress.

[kind cove]

???

Just put your account on the series S

As long as its there it will still be the same player and save data

[narrow matrix]

the game will transfer account on series s but not to pc

If you buy ultimate edition it’s enhanced for ps5/series s

Or x / whatever letter they’re on

[visual burrow]

Thanks.
Out of practice in xbox and wasn't sure if it was automatically saved to cloud or what. As have external hard drive I could transfered things in if needed.
Thanks guys.
Should be back up and running around again soon so will probs be looking for people to team up with.
Normally on pc and sim racing. 😆

[narrow matrix]

game is cloud based so no need to store anything

[unreal creek]

armor regen not working during combat if its on the gear?

[visual burrow]

Only been a few days since it was last played......

[mellow trout]

No

[nimble spruce]

Yeah if you've got the no regen directive on it seems to block all forms of regen now, not just out of combat

[rugged stratus]

it always blocked memento regen when ive used it in the summit for a couple years now

[nimble spruce]

Iirc it blocked it out of combat but not during combat

[rugged stratus]

always blocked for me, its usually nego so i just always swapped to the nego bag and used a fixer drone

[ripe elk]

Is umbra not w\orking for anyone else?

[rugged stratus]

its bugged atm. i think you can reequip it to fix

[storm lake]

Does challenging or hard with 2 directives give higher loot chances

[kind cove]

Directives raise xp

They might raise loot drops but thats not really as important, difficulty matters more

Never go under challenging as then you start getting purples

[mellow trout]

Directives give more chance for targeted loot but don't actually improve the loot

[rocky tulip]

So did they revert the talent Determined? I remember it was pretty good bc of infinite headshots but they changed awhile back then saw a year old video saying it’s back. Was just wondering if they changed it yet again lol

[slim elk]

it hasn't been touched afaik

[open mountain]

still broken

[rocky tulip]

Thank god I remember when they nerfed it so glad they reverted it and left it the same 🤣

[willow epoch]

I think I need a tissue wipe my tears because I just killed 2 rouge agents 🗣️

and one of them drop me a Scorpio

I'm definitely keeping this, the talent is Septic SHOCK

[storm lake]

Does targeted loot missions have the same chances as areas with targeted loot

[inner tendon]

@storm lake The only thing that increases the chance for Targeted Loot is adding Directives.

[storm lake]

That’s what I’m thinking for doing missions on hard with 2 directives instead of challenging with 0 but idk

[inner tendon]

You should stick with Challenging, because it still boosts your overall chances.
Basically: playing on Challenging or above only lets enemies drop gold/gearset/exotic loot, so it means anything they drop has the potential for being useful, whereas Hard can still drop Purples, which are 100% useless at Lvl 40.

Just keep practicing, it won't be long before Challenging is your new "base" difficulty. You got this, Agent!

[willow epoch]

I can't decide if I should use the exotic light machine gun or exotic shotgun - 😞 sadly you can't use both

[inner tendon]

They won't really be compatible in the same build, what are the rest of the pieces?

[kind cove]

Read the talents

And test the weapons

[willow epoch]

firing range right?

[kind cove]

No in general

You need to see if the exotic is something you want to use or build into first

[willow epoch]

I tested the Shotgun exotic in summits it was pretty good

[storm lake]

Does the final boss gear at the end of a mission always legendary or does it have a chance to become exotic

[kind cove]

All enemies can drop an exotic

Named enemies always drop items

[worldly fjord]

did the credit bundle with the mask expire already?

or not added yet?

[willow epoch]

Can talent Septic Shock be added to high end weapons or is that talent only for exotic weapon

[inner tendon]

Exotic Talents are locked to their specific Exotic, outside of Descent.

[fathom agate]

Sig still one of the worse ARs?

[rugged stratus]

This season saw a balance pass on weapons. Check out the patch notes #patch-notes message

[mild harness]

yo guys if i purchase the regular season pass, do i also get all the ultimate stuff on the right side or is the ultimate stuff just for that new premium+ version?

[quaint otter]

IS there way to hide other members name from my screen? I can't see shite

[open mountain]

you also get the ultimate stuff

[mild harness]

🫡

[fickle grove]

I've not played this game in a good while, and a bunch of enemies have blue/yellow/red/white icons above their heads. I assume it's to do with the short/medium/long range bonus from the season. Is there anywhere I can see descriptions in game of what each of the icons mean?

[mellow trout]

There's a tab in your loadout menu with an image of the Isac brick

[earnest trellis]

is the delta-03 on NY already gone?

[true venture]

I finished the campaign and reached level 30, is it worth buying the DLC?

I also wanted to know if it is possible to do the raids solo

[mellow trout]

They can be started solo but they're not possible

[true venture]

Got it, thanks

[wary spoke]

Is there an updated spreadsheet that contains all the new gear and stuff

[inner tendon]

The current one is being worked on now, keep an eye on it for updates.
The "welcome" page has the progress listed.

[hybrid girder]

Is it correct that agent modifiers don't save with loadouts?

Or, am I missing something?

[nimble spruce]

Correct, they don't

[hybrid girder]

I've been waiting since yesterday for a second elite patrol to show up. Is there a trigger to have one show up on the map? I tried resetting the control points to increase the chances.

[cedar yacht]

yeah

[narrow matrix]

Try doing other activities they pop up over time but usually I catch them while doing convoys and such

[muted ginkgo]

All Out modifier bugged? It's not counting Rikers anymore ...

It's not even activiting anymore

Okay okay it's working again .. 🥲

There something wrong for sure ..

[mild wolf]

How much are the changes of getting chameleon in bounty targets?

[kind cove]

So discussing the topic of the new Lexington ar, now its not the first a weapon was teased through expertise, but is this the first time a weapon appeared in a completely different weapon category?

[summer canyon]

Hmm, I guess it could be considered the first one. Can't say there was a weapon that appeared in a different category before

Any tips for completing Journey 7 objectives - Kill Tanks at close range with Impatient/Kill Engineers at mid range with Retribution?

[nimble spruce]

For tanks, a popular choice is the one that bursts through a door half way through DCD.
Not found a straightforward engineer farm but true sons generally have a lot, and it's probably worth running a HH build so you don't have to deal with requital

[summer canyon]

I have HH build, so not a problem

[woeful kite]

do these guys have "specific" spawnpoints

[daring wren]

The hoarder/aka loot goblin. Yes spawns in certain spots

[woeful kite]

they loot is better on higher difficulties right

[daring wren]

Yeah he usually drops all purples on like hard

DZ south main gate or JTC is usually where I go check for him. Listen for a manhole cover opening

[woeful kite]

guessing he drops like high end stuff on challenging and above

[woeful kite]

JTC?

[weary junco]

Jefferson Trade Centre

[daring wren]

Yeah. Your hud with the armour and ammo and all that will briefly flash red too if he spawns

[woeful kite]

he also says some quirky shit

"lets see what this guys got" buddy you're the target

[daring wren]

Yup

[radiant coral]

He still drops purples on chal

[woeful kite]

yup this guy has to stop saying "what I got"

[weary junco]

My response is usually 'f all' as he doesn't have seasonal drops

[wary spoke]

Is summit bugged, or do armor regen builds no longer work when the No Regen directive is active?

[junior sequoia]

Has been like that for a while, iirc armor on kill still works on it.

[rugged stratus]

Kinda the point of the directive anyways... no regen.

[wary spoke]

It used to explicitly say "no auto armor recovery after exiting combat"

I haven't been active in six months at least, so I'm trying to figure out what I've missed lol

[civic gull]

How to melt the hunters in countdown?

[wary spoke]

A good tactic is to stick them then focus

Striker used to be Mt go to for bursting them down

[daring wren]

I usually run Eclipse Protocol w/ Scorpio in Countdown and status effect them

[cedar yacht]

Hunters when they’re immune to cc:

[daring wren]

If you’re quick you can EMP them before they can fire theirs off. Suck it hunters 😎

[civic gull]

But i saw people using foam on them?

[daring wren]

I usually go EMP pulse and burn sticky but foam works

If you sticky bomb them but don’t pop it they get CCed trying to swat it away

[wispy merlin]

or you can just explode it to stagger them

if they're elite you might as well just explode

[daring wren]

Yes do both of course. I let them cook for a few first hehe

[radiant coral]

I ignored what Anna said when i logged in yesterday did theo move to west patomac park or somewhere else? I'm trying to decipher these riddles on my own

Ope found it he is in wpp

[rugged stratus]

yeah, thats one of the few countermeasures that kinda blows for cc. theyre still subject to opportunistic and sledge tho 😎

[rugged stratus]

dont need to be quick if youre immune 😉

[storm lake]

Can I still get coyotes mask to drop from Jefferson trade center if it is a targeted loot mission

[slim elk]

JTC is not worth it
It's more convenient to get it from TL

[storm lake]

Damn

[rugged stratus]

I've seen it drop a lot from jtc regardless if its masks or not

If its mask target then its definitely worth farming

[willow epoch]

ah

[narrow matrix]

Isn’t it a 7% chance boss drop

[inner tendon]

Once per run, and only once per run.
Otherwise it's a smaller chance, but it's per every enemy wihtin.

[narrow matrix]

I mean yes the mission itself is long but seems more guaranteed imo

[mellow trout]

Countdown is wayyy more efficient

[narrow matrix]

Eh

[mellow trout]

Better than constantly running a mission for nothing

[inner tendon]

JTC w/ Mask TL+Directives is the absolute best choice, but CD+caches is the way to go.
JTC by itself is a newb trap.

Try to think of it like this: how long the mission takes, divided by having a 93% chance for it not to drop per run, from one single enemy.

[rugged stratus]

just doing daily missions and random matchmaking into jtc, ive seen it drop a lot there from the boss. its definitely rng, but you never know if its gonna be the 1st drop or 40th. you gotta also figure in the possibility of any of the 4 agents getting a drop and sharing it

[inner tendon]

"playing with other people".
Sorry I don't follow?

[rugged stratus]

gotta vpn to the states

be laggy af but the team will carry ya

[inner tendon]

Mullvad life!
(I want to go for Firefox, but it's twice the cost 😦 )

[hybrid girder]

Taking a control point may be a trigger for an elite patrol.

[rugged stratus]

to get my map to spawn elite patrol, i reset my control points and then went to all the missions and put them in replay. ymmv tho

[kind cove]

Don’t think anyone has posted about this but its now confirmed that this is a st elmo situation, full auto lvoa baby

[willow gale]

Hold up

Lexington is FA?

[kind cove]

Bet is that the lexington drops as part of the seasonal mission?

[kind cove]

FA?

[willow gale]

Full auto

SA = semi auto

[kind cove]

Yes, its the M4 reskined

Like elmo

[willow gale]

Gay

[kind cove]

Not gay

[willow gale]

Very gay

[kind cove]

This is a huge win, m4 got a damage buff

[willow gale]

Ill take it

I just kinda wish they made a new recoil pattern or something to make it stand out

[kind cove]

It means I don’t need to make bad rifle builds or use elmo now

I can actually use a real full auto lvoa

[willow gale]

Yea, its not bad. Do we know what lexingtons talent is?

[kind cove]

Heres hoping the model of it isn’t being changed drastically, seems like they are changing the mesh of it in that pic

[kind cove]

Not yet

[willow gale]

Watch it be something horrible

[kind cove]

Only way to see it is in expertise and the skins menu

[kind cove]

Tbf I’ll take it regardless

[willow gale]

Perfect spike

[kind cove]

Oh nvm its mesh is messed up because its an m4 skin on something that isnt the m4

Still, will probably have a unique appearance

Hoping it drops sooner rather than later

Will probably be the reward tied to the final mission

Which means I have to actually play the season 😐

@willow gale so harvest got added a month before the actual event for it came out, Lexington was a mission in div 1, div 1 had full auto lvoas, and they already made a full auto lvoa reskin with elmo

So yeah Id bet on lexington being a Christmas event reward

If the track record is accurate then it will be in the next event

[kind cove]

Also to add on further one last time

Harvest was a stat change, not a talent, lexington might potentially have unique stats and a changable talent, which if so could make it a genuinely good gun depending what the stat change is

[willow gale]

Reload speed attribute

[kind cove]

Imagine

I betting on higher damage more recoil

Otherwise no idea

[mellow trout]

Let's gooo

[slim elk]

that's beautiful

looks like molten obsidian from cod

[kind cove]

Its because they skin isn’t designed for it

Its only showing up because the gun is an m4 reskinned

[slim elk]

Ohh

[inner tendon]

@viscid ingot You're looking for #lfg-raid-pc, GL Agent

[viscid ingot]

yes i am! 🙂

[frigid grove]

where does one earn the passive modifiers?

[sudden galleon]

hello guys, I am fairly new to the game and confused

is the journey system bugged?

I will show screenshots

here it says journey mission 2 completed

but journey 3 is locked

ahh the requirements on right side maybe? xD

[quiet fossil]

@sudden galleon you have to complete at least 6 out of the 8 tasks to complete one journey mission and be able to start the next journey mission.

[sudden galleon]

but why does it say completed then?

[inner tendon]

That is you having completed one stage of that particular step in your Journey.
As stated, you need to complete at least 6 out of the 8 listed options, e.g. True Sons in Southwest, Craft Gear Pieces, Complete Descent Loops.
Finish one of those 3, claim the rewards, and you'll unlock the next stage.

[sudden galleon]

I really think the UI is very confusing.

[inner tendon]

The game does tell you all this.

The UI assumes you read the tutorial, I suppose.

[sudden galleon]

sorry, but the UI is still cluttered af

also journey is kinda bugged, always says there are rewards to collect while that is not the case. Not that it bothers me that much, but still

[weary junco]

Yeah the reward notification icon is a bug

[charred shore]

Anyone notice that the modifiers show up on the Danny weaver UI?

[nimble spruce]

Priority targets have a chance of having them as rewards (it'll be listed on the priority target selection screen when it's an option)

[hazy rivet]

hey is the new york area deltas fixed yet?

[open mountain]

yea

[misty harbor]

which directives are used this season for CP etc farm

[worldly fjord]

hotshot can handle all 5 if thats what you mean

[misty harbor]

these actually

[inner tendon]

Normally, you'd stack as many as you can if you are going to farm xp out.

and also, you'll need to be on at least Challenging difficulty.

[open mountain]

hotshot can still handle all 5?

[worldly fjord]

easily

[inner tendon]

Pistolero can be a bit of a pain, admittedly.
4/5 is still fine.

[misty harbor]

no idea what hotshot is currently on heroic with fog and special ammo directives

[inner tendon]

Hotshot is an MMR focused gearset, there's a full build over in #td2-build-advice > 📌 > spreadsheet 2 > builds.

[worldly fjord]

pistolero only needs gunner + one minute of being afk

[inner tendon]

As long as you have it on Chall/Heroic with as many Directives as you can handle with the build equipped, you won't have an issue.

[cedar schooner]

if you're just doing hotshot sharpshooter works great too for ammo regen

[inner tendon]

After 20s in cover, you start generating 5 marksman and 5 rifle ammo, every 10s.

[worldly fjord]

that needs to be in cover for 20s

too painful for me lol

[inner tendon]

....so it's less painful to go AFK for a while?

[cedar schooner]

but you get sharpshooter buffs plus tac-50

[worldly fjord]

20s of sharpshooter only gives you 5 rounds, 60s of gunner gives 14

[cedar schooner]

it's two different choices

[worldly fjord]

yup

[inner tendon]

It's literally the same lol.

[cedar schooner]

well less

15 vs 14?

[inner tendon]

1 round less and you can actually start the fight.

[cedar schooner]

well

way less because it's every 10 seconds after

25?

[worldly fjord]

plus i run gunner for the armor on kill as well

[inner tendon]

Why do you need armour?

[cedar schooner]

with hotshot you shouldn't really need it imo

[worldly fjord]

if you miss every now and then, you need a few shots for hotshot's armor recovery

[cedar schooner]

but both are definitely viable for different reasons

[inner tendon]

I'm curious, why do you need to regen armour if you miss shots?

Are you accidentally shooting your own foot?

[worldly fjord]

NPCs tend to shoot back and stuff?

[tulip fiber]

Lol

[cedar schooner]

i'd just use a medkit if i get hit and don't want to risk restacking hotshot

[inner tendon]

Okay I've now got the image of that bit in Kung Fu Hustle, where the knife keeps bouncing back into the guy throwing it.

[cedar schooner]

lol

[worldly fjord]

that also works well but depends on how many NPCs there are

[inner tendon]

You need to shoot more efficiently.

it's okay, it takes practice.

[daring wren]

I run Bloodsucker with hot shot. Tons of bonus armour. Might be worth a try as an option

[inner tendon]

It's also why I take an SMG built for crit as a backup gun, just in case the desync hits hard.

@daring wren Leaving out Vigilance?

[daring wren]

Yep I just play that build solo and have enough damage without

Someone correct me if I’m wrong but I believe you just need to hit around 9.8M to one shot an elite ad. Not too hard

[cedar schooner]

tbh I didn't think you could one shot an elite on solo without vigi. maybe that's just with the SR-1(pre-tu22)

[inner tendon]

<10mil doesn't sound right for the amount needed, but it depends on the difficulty I'd imagine.
the meta farm w/ Hotshot is on Heroic, don't forget.

[daring wren]

I do kick things off against a red or purple to get headhunter and determined going but it works 😎

Once you have those up you definitely can one tap elite ads in Heroic

[cedar schooner]

yeah if you kick off on a purple you'll be able to one-shot about anything at cap still

[worldly fjord]

yup, theres one purple NPC at heroic CPs you can start with

specially now with modifiers, there no need for even that

[daring wren]

I’d rather lose vigilance but have sharpshooter spec I guess is my thought with that setup

I took a clip when the game bumped me from level 50 to 100 after a public execution. Lots of armour hehe

[summer canyon]

It's probably known already, but I figured to share it here.

For Journey 7 objective (kill 125 Engineers at mid-range with Retribution modifier), you can use the end stage for Lincoln Memorial to farm engineers. 2-3 engineers, get wiped, rinse and repeat

[worldly fjord]

at the end of invaded DCD you can also find 4 snipers

only works if its invaded of course

[keen badger]

Guys i crafted 22 strega and still no damage to target out of cover is it normal

[daring wren]

Yup hehe

[cedar schooner]

I've seen people sink 50+ into getting a dtooc roll, it's RNG

[fervent lodge]

its possible i can tell you that much, just rolling it on was more of a headache.

[marsh holly]

Spent 25 on backfire and didn't get it

[weary junco]

There is a symbol next to talents so you can tell when they are in your library. Is there something similar for attributes so I don't have to keep double checking things?

[wispy merlin]

the small arrow under the bar

[torn cape]

What difficulty would give me the highest number of veteran enemies?

[slim elk]

Heroic has more elites, Challenging has a mix of all but less elites

[tardy warren]

If you're looking for veterans to kill for a mission/journey I'd run summit on challenging

[cedar yacht]

Probably hard/chall

[noble snow]

do you need to earn the strega recraft blueprint from the battle pass? its not letting me buy it from inaya

[wispy merlin]

yes

[weary junco]

If I wanted to boost to 30 but save wony till after I'd done some endgame farming, what would be the fastest way to get the last 10 levels? Thanks

[slim elk]

dz landmarks, being carried by a shd agent on Heroic Lincoln Memorial, Invaded Missions on Hard.

[wary spoke]

Is there a cap on weapon handling, and does weapon handling still work the same as it did in TU18?

[open mountain]

no and idk i didn’t play tu18

stability caps at 100 i think?

but the others don’t iirc

idk

[civic gull]

Bruh i need to kill a outcast boss in manning zoo but its invaded is there a way to remove the black tusk

[nimble spruce]

yes, open mission options and hold G (or whatever your 'toggle mission mode' button is), you may have to toggle a couple of times to get the regular non-invaded, non-manhunt version - just look for a blue mission icon

[charred gulch]

so i just got the strega (new exotic) but it was a drop from the summit but i cannot buy the blueprint it doesnt appear

is this a glitch?

[civic gull]

Thank you

[wispy merlin]

you have to get to the season pass level for it

[charred gulch]

so ubisoft is forcing me to play their game in order to reroll it?

[wispy merlin]

ye

[charred gulch]

Cool

[wary spoke]

How do we access Master difficulty?

[inner tendon]

It's only going to be available during the final Manhunt Showdown, after the 14 weeks.

[wary spoke]

Ahh ok thx!

[weary junco]

How come I can optimise the Holster core but not the Gloves core?

[wispy merlin]

"Slot attribute needs to be extracted"

[weary junco]

So I have to own the stat in my library in order to optimise it?

[wispy merlin]

yes

[weary junco]

Ok that makes sense then

[signal lily]

Lore/IRL question
Is Directive 51 a real thing?

[kind cove]

Nvm Im dumb

God Im so tired, sorry about that ping

[signal lily]

I don't know if that's directed at me but I never saw a ping, I assume you're good lol

[kind cove]

Thats because I deleted it and you weren’t the person

[signal lily]

Ah

[radiant coral]

If it is it's super classified and only people bound by the fact they'd get court martialed know about it.

[sudden mirage]

directive 51 is real. I'm not sure what it outlines within the division universe and how the two are different, but the irl directive 51 has its own wikipedia page and you can read more about it over there (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Security_and_Homeland_Security_Presidential_Directive).

the directive was put in place after operation dark winter, a mock-test that simulated a bio-terrorist attack on the united states (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Dark_Winter)

[signal lily]

That's really cool, thank you!

[limber epoch]

Requital, shock ammo, requital, shock ammo, requital, shock ammo, How original.

[mellow trout]

Headhunter skips requital

Spec ammo is just something you have to get used to

Nego transfer ignores requital too iirc

[willow epoch]

I've seen a bunch of division agents with orange circles around their backpack- I don't exactly know what they are

[slim elk]

Memento has defeated agent watches

if I'm not wrong

[kind cove]

Yes

Memento has claimed watched on it, its themed after hunters

[willow epoch]

You get those after you kill hunters? (I don't understand that much

Also I just defeated the strong hold of Black tusk 🙂

[kind cove]

No

Its an exotic

[willow epoch]

oh

That makes sense

[kind cove]

Themed around the appearance of hunters

And its talent plays into that gimmick

[willow epoch]

ah alright thanks

[radiant coral]

does anyone know where I can find the list of missions that named items were assigned to?

like with I think tu22

[radiant coral]

nvm found it in #patch-notes

[final sigil]

first ever Nemesis kill after 52~attempts

🎉

[final sigil]

that uh... doesnt look right

I only ever killed one of the 4

[nimble spruce]

Yeah, shouldn't be any duplicates either. I'd suggest reporting it on the Ubisoft support discord (link in pins in #unofficial-troubleshooting)

[sudden galleon]

can anyone tell me how to get the work bench to high-end? I am level 39

I mean crafting station

[final sigil]

I dont have dupes in my apparelsadly. It might have been caused by me having killed death. since they drop the key.

something something code spagetti from season update

[nimble spruce]

Lvl 40 is max level so reach that first, then if you still have a problem let us know

[sudden galleon]

okay, I saw in some threads that it is availabe at level 30

I will see what happens, thanks

maybe it was raised with warlords expansion

[nimble spruce]

Recently they made it possible to reach lvl 40 without Warlords, so it probably got changed then (although I hadn't seen anyone mention it until now)

[steep void]

u'll see upgrade option when u have materials for it

[weary junco]

Do I need to clear cp to get territory controls to spawn?

[marsh tundra]

territory control spawn if the cp isnt friendly

you have to wait/reload the map/join another group to make them spawn

[final sigil]

any way to cycle the dz or get into one that has more people?

[weary junco]

I see, I only assumed as I cleared 2 cp in east mall and one spawned

[marsh tundra]

they can always spawn in some specific locations that arent tied to a cp, but its way more rare

[tough marsh]

Whoever that was looking for the soundtrack, I hope you found your answer, because I'm curious too

[warm fjord]

Sorry for all my newbie questions … when I salvage an item with mods on it, will the mods be gone? Do I need to unmod the weapon first?

[rugged stratus]

weapons, no. gearset/brand gear mods will be destroyed if you decon, so remove those if wanting to save

[sudden galleon]

but how can I know which materials I need without seeing it? 🥲

[marsh tundra]

u'll see it when you reach lvl 40

its not that much materials tbh and its only once

[hybrid girder]

What does an Elite Resource look like on the map?

[marsh tundra]

same icon as normal ressource convoy but with a circle around it

tbh its a pain to do this, cause they spawn pretty rarely, i'd reroll it

[hybrid girder]

I see the objective is to get 2 but the initial count is 00/01.

[marsh tundra]

the 00/01 is the entire journey mission

it will go to full when you do thoses twice

[sudden mirage]

if I'm in a group with 2 randoms I encountered in a DZ, can they go rogue and turn on me while we're in the group? and if not, could they just kick me out of the group and then do it? I wanna gauge how safe I am lol

[weary junco]

Can someone only drop a piece of gear for you that they get in the mission?

[nimble spruce]

They can't while you're in the same group but they can drop group or kick you and then turn

[nimble spruce]

Only if they received it while in the same group as you (and within the share cooldown timer)

[sudden mirage]

ty

[sudden galleon]

what is the best way to make e-credits fast?

[rugged stratus]

using scavenging points. 1 point per 10k$. also bounties

[stuck frigate]

Will i find more allocated loot in designated areas compared to summit or is it even?

[final sigil]

targted loot is targeted loot

the chances dont change

[stuck frigate]

Thanks!

[sudden galleon]

how can I see the world level and what is it tied to? I have seen older guides where it said it is linked to gear score. But can't see that one either xD

[kind cove]

Gear score doesn’t exist anymore

When your level 40 you can change the difficulty in the map

[marsh tundra]

gear score and world lvl dont exist anymore, its all lvl 40 max now

[sudden galleon]

ah okay thanks, so how do I get the control points to alert level 4?

[kind cove]

Take out other points in the area or play on heroic

[formal vault]

Anyone know the riddles for this week? I don’t have the free time this week to figure them out like have the past two

[marsh tundra]

either do activities tied to thoses, each one giving +1 (elite give +2), or set your map difficulty to heroic and everything will be on max difficulty from the beginning

[weary junco]

I can't recalibrate an attribute and a talent can I? Only one?

[slim elk]

If the item has been recalibrated before, you cannot edit it.
You can only recalibrate one Core or one attribute or the talent.

[sudden mirage]

Activity 1 = Lincoln memorial mission

Activity 2 = Eliminate 25 hostiles with headshots

Activity 3 = Capture the MAST control point

[weary junco]

Damn. Guess I really have to find this chest piece with double crit then. Thanks

[marsh tundra]

chest and backpack are the hardest to farm cause they have so many stats + talent

[weary junco]

Yeah this ceska chest is killing me

[marsh tundra]

you're not alone

[stuck frigate]

Just throwing this one into the crowd; Strikers build, red core, - Strega or Elmo?

[lethal seal]

what would be the strongest build "Mantis" or "Nemesis", also would run as much headshot

[marsh tundra]

hunterkiller + sr1 determined will always be better

with same setup

[inner tendon]

sr1 was actually somewhat kneecapped this last update.

it's still strong, just not as strong.

[marsh tundra]

yeah but its still so good and really trivialize the entire game

you can still use mantis/nemesis as secondary

[kind cove]

Super strong gun vs mid gun

Strega

[inner tendon]

That is more Determined doing the heavy lifting there.

[stuck frigate]

So, Strega it is then?

[marsh tundra]

i mean vs heavy tank boss swapping to nemesis is still kinda ok

[inner tendon]

Eh. m700 and its variants are just as good, if not better overall.
The biggest thing sr1 has is a mag reload, oh and much better fashioning.

[weary junco]

Well next run I got double crit so only need to recal the talent now thank heavens

[inner tendon]

Luckily for you, if an Item has a base core of a certain colour (e.g. Ceska has Red) the stats are more likely to be Red overall.

[lethal seal]

can I post a link to a yt vid so some can tell me if the build in the video is worth the time to make

[inner tendon]

If you give us the name of the channel, we can probably tell you without even seeing the build :p

As long as it's not your channel, sure go ahead.

[marsh tundra]

yeah most youtubers are bad

[lethal seal]

its not me

[marsh tundra]

dont follow their advice

[lethal seal]

"AnYTime Gaming" is the guys name

this video is ~1 month old

[willow epoch]

Can someone tell me what this is-

[inner tendon]

You can post the link to the build, it's not a problem.
We just don't allow self-promo, due to "past issues".

[unreal ether]

where can i find black tusk activites such as propaganda broadcasts?

[marsh tundra]

just a buff, nothing weird, thats not the reason your gun is firing on its own, you have a controller issue imo

[marsh tundra]

usually south of dc map

[radiant coral]

Just hover over them on the map and they'll tell you what faction it is

[willow epoch]

I figured out why my gun automatically fires when I hold LT I think I'm pressing it a bit too hard and it's somehow connecting to my RT

[lethal seal]

here's the vid I want to know about if the build is worth or not https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xynMjI58280

[radiant coral]

Check around the invaded missions

[willow epoch]

I press it lightly my gun doesn't fire it aims normally but if I press it all the way down for some reason it fires all my bullets
(Maybe I'm not sure maybe it's something else though it's not doing it anymore)

[marsh tundra]

its the basic sr1 determined hunterkiller build

great build, but the one on video is def not the most damage you can get

tho its a safer one

[inner tendon]

Okay yeah that's pre-patch.

"sr1 has more damage than the m700 carbon"

[marsh tundra]

yeah video is a month old at least

[lethal seal]

so it would be easier to play with because i can survive a bit (the one in the video)

[marsh tundra]

its not a bad build, but we have it in the spreadsheet on this discord already

just do the variation you think are fit for you

[regal summit]

That is "crunch time", a talent in your survivalist skill tree, giving you 10% skill haste when in cover.

[lethal seal]

where can i find that

[marsh tundra]

#td2-build-advice pinned message

[willow epoch]

ohh this is my first time knowing about that

ahh I see it now-

You could get firewall for free? (If you do all the field research?

[inner tendon]

All the Spec Trees are included for free.

[willow epoch]

alright

[lethal seal]

where would be the best place to ask for someone to teach me pvp? as I haven't played pvp in division since the 1st (on console)

where is best place to kill elite Scorchers need 9 of them

[marsh tundra]

outcast area ?

[lethal seal]

that what i was thinking, checking now to see

[weary junco]

Should I just reroll this st elmos until I get dttooc?

[marsh tundra]

tbh no, just wait for a better drop, it cost exotics to reroll

and exotics are rare af and needed for the late game gear optimizing

[kind cove]

Moment lexington becomes available Im never touching elmo again

Lexington better be the holiday event weapon 🙏

Lol

Im obsessed with the idea of a full auto lvoa

It being an m4 means we have stats to base it off too, no idea if they will change the stats or give it a perfect talent

[daring wren]

Lexington’s talent is gonna be called “Negative Ramos” 😉

[willow epoch]

does summits have a chance of giving me Ceska, Grupo and Coyotes mask? Or is there another area where I can farm for one of these items

[rugged stratus]

summit you can select target loot like countdown

[daring wren]

countdown is the best targeted loot farm

[willow epoch]

I didn't know in countdown that you can select targeted loot

I thought you can only select targeted loot in summit -

[rugged stratus]

it shares your selection from there

whatever you target in summit will be what drops in cd as well

[willow epoch]

Oh

I didn't know that

[willow gale]

Kinda hoping its a different gun

[rugged stratus]

then any mission or zone that has a target youre looking for can also be farmed

[willow gale]

Give it P416 recoil pattern or something

Or g3

[willow epoch]

Since my world is on challenging I'm guessing the mission will be on challenging-

[rugged stratus]

you can select what difficulty you want in mission settings

[willow epoch]

Does the difficulty matter if I'm trying to get targeted loot

Oh it says right here
Hard and anything above hard difficulty will give you targeted loot or increase the loot availability-

[daring wren]

I can say Challenging Countdown will give max roll items

[rugged stratus]

difficulty raises the floor/minimum % an attribute can roll

[willow epoch]

Right now I'm at DCd headquarters because I'm trying to get the striker gear set

[rugged stratus]

directives give you more chances at target loot

[willow epoch]

Since I'm going to be trying to build a striker build

[willow epoch]

Which is the most easiest directives-

[daring wren]

Nice. That is a staple

[rugged stratus]

fog of war, spec ammo both not so bad. im actually not sure what this seasons are amt

[willow epoch]

But it does say here "If you feel you are in a situation where you can't maintain high stacks consistently (situations which very much do exist) then you are better off with a different build." I think I'm confident enough to use this build-

[kind cove]

Keep in mind, its most likely going to have different stats

Its an M4 but harvest for example had unique stats that made it special

[willow epoch]

Imma use Enemies may have special types of bullets (special ammo)

[rugged stratus]

this is usually what youre looking at when considering the striker chest or not. oblit chest/striker bag is solid anywhere

[daring wren]

Well, I would run like an Obliterate chest vs the Striker chest for most content. Hard to keep the stacks up

[willow epoch]

Does this mean that you always have to try to hit your shots?

[daring wren]

ACS12 shotguns like Lefty or Rock and Rock builds stacks fast

[willow gale]

Even if it has different stats, I dont really like how the M4 sounds lol

[willow epoch]

I'm following the way it is in the build atm

It did show this one

[rugged stratus]

you want to hit all your shots anyways. you can burst fire if something is a bit unstable

[daring wren]

That looks good

[rugged stratus]

standard setup from the guide

[willow epoch]

Do I have to use the skills the guide want me to input?

[daring wren]

Nope

[rugged stratus]

after using it for a while, if you find you dont like the stack mechanic you might consider negotiators or ongoing directive

[marsh tundra]

you dont have to follow anything in particular, the guide is just a guide to help you make a build, you can modify it however you want

[daring wren]

I usually go decoy and reviver if I’m playing solo. To each their own

[willow epoch]

I don't have the expansion😔

so no Decoy for me

[marsh tundra]

usually the guide will tell you "this is core build" and everything else is up to taste

[rugged stratus]

yeah, reviver is gonna be kinda manditory being new

gunner pulse is a good option that helps you get some breathing room when stuff rushes ya

[willow epoch]

The skills I have on right now is a sniper Turret and the crusader ballistic shield

[rugged stratus]

if you find yourself on the floor a lot, swap sniper for revive hive

crusader shield is a good option

[willow epoch]

I have my sniper turret expertise is at max I think because it just says

Expertise
(proficient)
No upgrades active -

[rugged stratus]

striker drone could also be a good option that would be a distraction, but autonomous

youll end up using a lot of skills just to get them proficient

[marsh tundra]

yeah right now im using crusader shield and blinder firefly to expertise them

useless as a sniper to get that shield ngl

[willow epoch]

My wi-fi is acting up again
I just unloaded 75% of my ammo into a enemy and it took about 5 seconds for that guy to die (it didn't show that I was damaging him and his health bar was at Max)

[rugged stratus]

but i would build the set, test it out how youve been running and adjust what isnt working

[willow epoch]

So how do I upgrade my skill if it has Max expertise

[rugged stratus]

its inside the expertise menu. select the skill and itll give an option to upgrade. its very expensive , so i wouldnt upgrade much unless its a main item you use all the time

same with weapons btw

dont upgrade gear ever, unless its all thats left and youre overflowing mats

[willow epoch]

I think I got to watch the tutorial on how to do that

[rugged stratus]

yeah, probably best

[kind cove]

What was the buff on heartbreaker?

1.2% damage or something now?

[willow epoch]

I forgot to ask what mask, chest plate
And weapons are those ?

[kind cove]

Coyote mask and cheska chest with obliterate

[willow epoch]

Thank you:)

[willow epoch]

This is the most easiest one to make kinda -

Supposedly this one right here takes time to make

[daring wren]

You want the Coyote/Ceska Obliterate build hehe

[willow epoch]

Wait are both of those are masks ?

[kind cove]

^

[charred shore]

Oh it absolutely takes time. You need to do the Iron horse raid over the course of 3 weeks (3 clears) to be able to craft the regulus pistol you see. In terms of the holster it can be crafted (youtube tutorial).

[willow epoch]

ah sorry my bad

[willow epoch]

Striker set is good for a solo player right?

[kind vale]

So I'm derpy and can't remember how to get the rock,n roll shotgun

[charred shore]

Yeah it's great to use, definitely get your hands on the rock and roll or acs12 shotgun Variant to use it for stack building.

[charred shore]

It's a dz exclusive named item, however it also drops from named caches. You can earn them from projects, purchasing them from the countdown and global events (when active) vendor..

[willow epoch]

I haven't done the iron horse raid yet

[willow epoch]

Is it each hit that counts or each kill that has to count? To make it stack

[cedar yacht]

Hits

[rugged stratus]

note that acs/any shotgun shoots 8 pellets and each that hit counts as a stack. thats why a lot run acs.

[willow epoch]

I miss like some of my bullets were most hit the enemies

[willow epoch]

oh yeah that makes sense

Should I still try to get them the lmg Exotic?

[rugged stratus]

1 mag 20 rnd on acs has potential of 160 stacks per mag

[willow epoch]

One shotgun mag

[rugged stratus]

yes

[storm lake]

Does using a shield count as being behind cover

[willow epoch]

What is the best high-end or named shotgun?

[wispy merlin]

no

[weary junco]

Not sure but if it's for the build you showed earlier you can just use an acs

[slim elk]

acs isn't the best shotty

[willow epoch]

then what iss?

[cloud remnant]

Anyone know why new york collapse got super marked up? Lol

It hought the guy on Ebay was ripping people off till i saw amazons price

[willow gale]

Rarity, supply and demand. Same reason most things go up in price after it sells out at MSRP

[weary junco]

I never said it was, my point was for that build it's perfectly fine as it's for building stacks. Plus you have the freedom to swap the talent on it

[open mountain]

what for?

burst, one shots or stacking

[cloud remnant]

Sweet, now i have a secret goldmine lol jkjk

[willow gale]

Kill this man with hammers

Commence mass stoning 🧱

[cloud remnant]

Oofers dies

[willow gale]

Honestly didnt even know there was a division book

[cloud remnant]

Theres like 5 or 6

And a comic

Art book

[willow gale]

I knew there was books around it but I didnt know there was a specific division named book

[inner tendon]

Liberty Island has it as a boss drop, so that's understandable.

[willow epoch]

One shot.. but I'm using a striker build

[open mountain]

dont

just use a sasg for burst or acs for stacking

[willow epoch]

alright

[inner tendon]

@subtle minnow You're looking for #lfg-pc, GL Agent

[unreal ether]

how is this st elmos doing 100k damage while mine is doing 88k?

[tardy warren]

Shd level, red cores, it’s 16 prof

[wary spoke]

Did leveling up Seasons change? I remember being able able to hit Season level 100 within a few days. Now I've merely passed level 3 in roughly the same amount of play time. How do I level up quick nowadays?

[inner tendon]

Seasons last 20 weeks now, you're supposed to take a while to go through it by design.

[rugged stratus]

go into the season menu. journey challenges and priority objectives give seasonal xp

just look at the rewards for different things, anything listing season xp will level it

[wary spoke]

Yeh that makes sense. I always felt like I hit Season 100 waaaay too fast for it to be working as intended. Thanks for confirmation!

[wary spoke]

Thanks! I was also specifically looking for ways to gain Season XP! 😃

I know I likely am in the minority opinion here, but I really appreciate this change! I feel like there's more incentive to participate in Seasons.

[open mountain]

[tribal ravine]

Hey guys new to the server and kinda new to the game but I running to a mission and saw some enemy with bow and arrows and I was wondering if it was possible for a player to one aswell

[tough marsh]

Nope, but when you reach lv 30 there will be a specialisation that gives you a Crossbow
