[charred mulch]

on the progression page, it says i've done 37/40 side missions. i also done all 5 hidden side missions. are those 3 who left, behind the year 1 pass?

[humble trail]

progression can be done on any year pass i believe

[sudden matrix]

Screenshot your full map.

[knotty crane]

whats this backpack
does it exists as equipable?

[humble trail]

do you have brand name

[sudden matrix]

Hmm looks like a really well cleared map. These wouldn't be in NY would they?

[knotty crane]

dunno its a hunter backpack

[humble trail]

was thinking the same thing

[charred mulch]

oh, thats possible ... i bought the dlc 2 days ago but wasn't in NY. thx for the tip

[pseudo tundra]

you can try the #divashion people there just talk about cosmedics

[humble trail]

i agree

[manic stratus]

Does anyone have a "the story/seasonal story up to this point" video that they can recommend (ideally the most complete)

I stiopped playing after dark hours got released on console (probably 2 months after) and now that I've been back in to the game for a month or so i wanna catch up on all the seasonal story that Ive missed but i know the game only offers so many missions on rotation to "catch up"

Be easier to just listen/watch a youtube video before replaying some of the legacy manhunts

[sudden matrix]

Look up NGN on youtube.

They have been keeping track of it for almost everything.

They have tons of playlist all sorted out too.

[manic stratus]

Oh perfect thankyou!

[hollow kestrel]

What type of gear loadout do I need if I ever make the global difficulty to Heroic?

[tiny stump]

theres a bunch of options

[rugged stratus]

Take a look at the pinned spreadsheet.
Dps, sniper, eclipse fire, and mortar all do well on heroic.
Tldr: start with striker

Sorry, pinned sheet in #td2-build-advice

[tiny stump]

If ya cant succeed in heroic with a good strikers build just take your time before moving up. things like situational awareness, thinking on your feet, using the pie slice method and using your surroundings to protect you are probably more important than your build

[rugged stratus]

Would probably be good to leave world on challenging and using activities to make individual control points 4, heroic. To not be too overwhelmed

[silent estuary]

I think I figured out the issue with the progress bar visual. It's counting partial progress towards your total progress. So If I have two goals at 50% it will say 1/6 completed even though it's actually 0/6 since neither of them are fully completed

[silent estuary]

tell me more about slicing pies

[tiny stump]

ok..

so you want to stand behind a good piece of cover, you dont have to be IN cover, just behind something. find an angle where you only expose yourself to one enemy at a time (thats one slice). then you peek out further until you can kill the next one enemy. and repeat until they're all gone. it cant be done 100% of the time but it allows you to face like 5 enemies while only one of them at a time has a line of sight on you

[silent estuary]

ah yeah, tall cover and then sweep left-to-right or even alternate sides

I'm still trying to get the hang of when one of the guys in the uneaten part of the pie happens to be a bomb rusher that I didn't know was a bomb rusher

[sudden matrix]

Yeah, the actual cover and using it in this game is pretty bad compared to peeking like in most FPS shooters.

I've been meaning to make a clip or some pictures to show the difference but your character profile and time to get back into cover are so much larger and slower using the cover system.

[silent estuary]

is there a setting for left-shoulder toggle?

I'd use cover peek more if I could left fire more reliably. Usually goes like, ok I want to peek left, press aim, toggle shoulder, release aim, oh shit it goes back to my right shoulder, am I exposed now? puh-puh-puh oh shit I am

[tiny stump]

thats the tricky part. thats why situation awareness is good and you need to check your flanks and backside regularly

[sudden matrix]

Just don't un aim. Running the same aim/look sense can help with that too.

[tiny stump]

his phone keeps floating up into the sky

[tough marsh]

To be raided by KVD, that's something.

You're on the wrong side of fandom, brother

[clear spruce]

Quick question is there a recommended shd for going into countdown on heroic? My current shd is around 200 so im considering running countdown for the first time.

[quick stream]

Hey all I finally got character up to place i feel like I can do legendary mission but not letting me pick it any idea wat I need to do?

[pseudo tundra]

what missions are you trying? only strongholds have legendary difficulty

[quick stream]

Yee zoo

[cedar schooner]

Try changing the mission mode

[iron zinc]

Hey all ,is there way to look for specific peice of gear or is finding everything random. New to game

[snow cargo]

Summit and Countdown are a targeted loot. But no there is no way to target a peice of gear.

Welcome to a Looter Shooters

[iron zinc]

Thx. another question, is there any reason to keep gear that ls below lvl 40 or are they all weak

[flint hare]

no reason maybe purple to put some talent in library. other that no

[iron zinc]

Thx

[daring wren]

Good for levelling mules if that’s your thing

(If it’s a good item)

[bitter mango]

Is a 4pc hotshot build enough to one shot enemies on legendary difficulty? I'm trying to solo manning zoo

[wispy merlin]

yes, but that's not the only build you need

[bitter mango]

So a determined hotshot build won't one tap enemies?

[wispy merlin]

it will, but there are too many electronics

you'll need to restart hh too much

have you soloed dua with hotshot yet?

[cedar yacht]

Its really annoying

Actually can wd one shot chungus without their helmet?

[wispy merlin]

with no stacks? no

[snow cargo]

Really depends on your build but I thought solo you could. For Legendary this where min/max your build does count in.
Also depending on what buff you have too.

[bitter mango]

Haven't tried just recently got the build

[heady stirrup]

What’s the name of the song that sometimes plays at random in the open world? Its not during combat, very slow with reverberating notes

[cedar yacht]

So basically you have to use nemmy if you want to break and kill chungus in leg

[desert thunder]

So for me to do Manning National Zoo I have to do the Potomac event center but if you look in the photo I completed it I sign out I sign back in and I'm still having the same problem. Any help would be nice and it's a PS5

[wispy merlin]

go to zoo and change it out of invaded

[desert thunder]

how I been trying to hold triangle and it puts me into a a yellow strong hold and the back again

[wispy merlin]

actually go there and do it

[bitter mango]

How do I get a lexington at my level? I have two level 1 lexington which is practically useless for me

[mellow trout]

You can't

[slim elk]

Haven't you already asked that a couple days ago? I swear I saw you asking and I even replied

[weary junco]

How many build slots is it per character?

[bitter mango]

I dont think so?

[mellow trout]

16

[slim elk]

My bad then, might got confused

[weary junco]

https://open.spotify.com/track/70ELKuF6ZphdyCj0g6DrbP?si=S0h8fcmFReWubohxwQpZxQ

This?

[silent estuary]

if I have near cap of titanium what's the best use of it? Crafting tactical assessment bundles?

[mellow trout]

Donating and crafting

[rugged stratus]

easy to do. gotta be the number 1 question lately, and probably for the next 3 months

[bitter mango]

So how do I get a lvl 40 lexington?

[slim elk]

You don't

Naval told you

[bitter mango]

Dang

[unreal ice]

does any one know how to find the chatterbox blueprint?

[tiny stump]

i think you have to find the three components first. and then the blueprint can be found in a locked vault at the bank hq mission

theres one component in downtown east, one in judiciary square, and one in uhhh

[slim elk]

aren't they locked to drop randomly from hyena lockboxes?

[tiny stump]

federal triangle

yeah, you need hyena keys and the components drop from those lockboxes in those specific areas

https://thedivision.fandom.com/wiki/The_Chatterbox

[unreal ice]

so that mean i need to find all the mods first then i find the blueprint?

https://discord.com/channels/477210626742288384/535048680080670740

go here bruh

basically div1 is dead

[pseudo lodge]

did they lower the ammount of premuim credits you get? i remember i bought a pack off 2000 credits and got 1000 more, now theres only 250 more

[deep raven]

Hey I have a question. If I want a Lengmo backpack with all red cores and composure as the talent, does that you'd have to roll the chc and chd and the talent at the beginning, just so you can change the primary core?

[cedar schooner]

yes

[deep raven]

Ouch. That is one hell of a grind...

[flint hare]

goodluck

[deep raven]

Thanks...

[flint hare]

im looking for halsburg chest nd backpack the past 3 months nd still don't have. it is a pain

[deep raven]

That is...very demotivating to hear...

[flint hare]

not really i know it' hard to have

[junior sequoia]

Looking for Red attributes?

[flint hare]

no all good stats nd talent to change armor to red core

[mellow trout]

So red attributes

[heady stirrup]

Not this one. It’s similar though

[flint hare]

ah yes mb

[nimble spruce]

If you've got the resources and the relevant blueprint, crafting is the easiest way to get those unicorn pieces

[bitter mango]

If I have the scope, stock and bolt, how many more weeks do I have to wait before I can craft a nemesis?

[regal summit]

I'd recommend you get the barrel from Manning Zoo, and then wait for Grand Washington Hotel to be invaded

[crimson monolith]

Hey I'm thinking about getting the division.. is it better to get the standard edition or ultimate edition

[silent estuary]

definitely get something with the WONY DLC

[silent estuary]

oh the standard edition comes with WONY anyway these days

I didn't know that, back in my day I bought them separately 👴

[crimson monolith]

so it doesnt matter

[silent estuary]

looks like the ultimate edition gets you the year 1 pass. Which has some things like classified missions I think? Which aren't really needed, you'll play them once and then forget about them. I'd save the $20 for the second DLC that's coming soon

[wide bone]

what is the best way to get faction resources? other than bounty, i did all my bounties for the one i want e.e

[manic stratus]

@wide bone control point. Unsure about DZ landmarks but can try

[wide bone]

just did 4 CP4, for the named miniboss

i got a total of 0 resource

(in this case for the true sons

[manic stratus]

Hm can try faction missions (slow grind)
Hostage rescue/executions to award new bounties
Can craft the tactical assessments if you have the blueprints unlocked

[wide bone]

going to try the faction missions

[silent estuary]

get the blueprints, farm countdown, deconstruct for hundreds of raw materials, craft assessments

[wide bone]

did all the resc/exec too and the bountys that come from it

don't have the craft yet ;/

i'm farming CP4 for the crafts

[manic stratus]

If i recall correctly the mission and the bounty award the same amount but @silent estuary is right, thats more than likely youre best bet

[wide bone]

thanks for the advice!

[silent estuary]

CP3 also drops blueprints if you want to speedrun that stuff

[manic stratus]

For sanitys sake i will usually sprinkle in a priority objective here and there (half the time they align with doing either: activities, objectives in countdown, and or faction missions. If that helps at all

[silent estuary]

or the daily

like today's is hyena's events so kill 3 hyenas CP and then finish DUA and you're done

[verbal belfry]

So... is the future of the Division franchise secure?

[narrow lintel]

anyone know the best way to get system corruption gear set? i’ve been running dz for weeks and got nothing

[crimson monolith]

standard it is lol thanks for the advice!

[slim elk]

Are you referring to div3? Because we have nothing for sure

[verbal belfry]

No, I mean the survival of The Division itself. Things like the possibility of service termination or a transition, stuff like that.

As you know, Ubisoft's situation hasn’t been great lately...

No matter what The Division does, it feels like Ubisoft is on the verge of collapsing, and The Division might just go down with it.

Let me ask again: Is the future of The Division franchise secure?

[silent estuary]

yes, I spoke with John Division yesterday and he personally assured me that the Division would continue protecting everyone

[manic stratus]

And also would be offering candy for anyone who got alex

[wide bay]

It’s anyone’s guess but since Massive is the one actively developing div 3 there’s always just the chance they get bought or sold

[silent estuary]

is there some kind of advantage to having level 40 mules during the 5XP event? Some kind of way to get more resources?

[wispy merlin]

there are advantages to having level 40 mules in that you get free scavenging points on those as well, the 5xp event doesn't really change that though

[silent estuary]

free scavenging points? So I level up one SHD level on the main, and instead of getting one SHD recon thingy, I get 4?

[wispy merlin]

yes

you can do it at any time though, there's no advantage to leveling them to 40 sooner or later

[silent estuary]

but the mules are still like shd 1? Is this a bug? I don't get the mechanic

[wispy merlin]

no, shd is account wide

[silent estuary]

ohhh

[wispy merlin]

all your lv 40 characters have the same shd

so once you get your mule to 40 and then get the watch, it automatically gets up to your current shd

[silent estuary]

so when I pick my shd reward from the main, everyone gets one of whatever I pick

and it gets pooled so literally I get 4x

[wispy merlin]

your main gets that reward, unless you're also taking account that your characters get shared resources

the points are local to each character

let's say you spend a point for steel on your main, that point is unspent on your mules

you spend them whenever you like/need

[silent estuary]

ohhh got it, I can pick different things and they appear when I pick them

[wispy merlin]

yeah

[silent estuary]

but if I level to 1000 on my main, my mules hit level 40 and they instantly get 400 picks

err 200

[wispy merlin]

what people do a lot nowadays is claim points on mules for say field recon and shd recalibration so they can go on their main and expertise/optimize stuff

[wispy merlin]

yep 200

[silent estuary]

ok so if someone is shd 10000, and they delete and recreate their mule and level to 40, they get 9200 picks just like that?

[wispy merlin]

yes

so the key here is if you're too low shd and you delete a mule to make room for a new one in this fashion, you might be too low shd for that new mule to be worth

if you're high enough shd like 10000, it's well worth

if you're low you'd rather just level

[pseudo tundra]

#lfg-playstation not this channel

[silent estuary]

is there any reason to keep a 3rd copy of your exotic or is it safe to deconstruct?

hmm I guess if the secondary is different and good and worth optimizing, since we can't recal exotics

[manic stratus]

If you kill all the hunters on normal difficulty and then swap to heroic and open the ivory/off white chest

Does the weapon/gear scale to the world stats or does it come with a static roll of stats/distributions

[cedar schooner]

I have three characters so for me yes. Having something like a CHC and a DTA pestilence is reasonable as well. I also like keeping an unexpertised weapon for comparisons

[cedar schooner]

Should theoretically scale to open world difficulty. You can always buy another one from Cassie though, so nbd

[pseudo tundra]

Yeah being able to get more cassie is a real advantage

[manic stratus]

Sweet ty, gonna do that for my friend

[tough marsh]

Why buy from Cassie when you can just craf- haha nvm

[iron zinc]

Hey all can i get some pointers on builds .

Only shd 40 and my stash is completely maxed with all types of gear . Not very familiar with builds.

How do I decide what to trash and what to keep? Are there any gear that are sort of subpar that ill likely nevr use and can trash it? Any tips are helpful thx

[cedar schooner]

It’s a difficult question to answer, but I’d look through the build guides in the pinned spreadsheet here https://discord.com/channels/477210626742288384/489468635333656576 . As you figure out what pieces builds use it’s easier to decide what to keep and what not too.

[manic stratus]

I would ask first what your playstyle is, certain gearsets and builds kind of cater to a specific playstyle

Next question is what content are you looking to do and finish with (do you wanna just casually destroy the games content and go about your day, do you wanna push your self a bit and do some challenging stuff, or do you wana do all the hardest stuff the game has to offer)

Answering those 2 questions is what helped me kind of settle on the 4 builds i usually run and how much i wanted out of the game

[deep raven]

If I want a really hard to obtain high end piece, should I just play countdont till I get it, or just craft it again and again?

[silent estuary]

why not both, hehehe

[manic stratus]

Countdown, With countdown you aquire the resources required to craft stuff and you get loot, can always craft afterwords but why spend the materials if you can get them + Loot

Atleast for now

[deep raven]

I guess yeah. Just kinda wanted to know if there maybe was a better way

[deep raven]

Thank you for the answer

[manic stratus]

Anytime! I will say that if you get sick of countdown, see if that high end piece is apart of the target loot farming on the map, and run a bit of that, then craft a bit if you get flustered with those other 2 options. I find the variety helps to keep things from getting too monotonous

[deep raven]

Will do! Also, one final question if you don't mind me asking. Is the stinger lmg any good, or is it just outclassed by others?

[rugged stratus]

1 for each alt

[manic stratus]

Ask away, thats what the community is for! 🙂 as for the stinger i would argue its outclassed by others, that being said though, it does provide a good size weapon damage buff for simply doing a cover to cover move

[deep raven]

Thank you again

[manic stratus]

no problem, if you arent already farming for it or keeping an eye out for it, grab ninjabike messenger kneepads as it pairs really well with the stinger

[deep raven]

Tha hard part of the stinger is obtaining it in the first place. But I'll keep it in mind! I really appreciate the answers!

[rugged stratus]

Ninja knee + bulletking unlocks godmode

[deep raven]

Is it the best lmg? I really like the cover system for the game which is why I really want the stinger

[manic stratus]

i think "Best" would strongly depend on your build youre wanting to pair it wilth

[deep raven]

What I was going for is basically, stay behind cover and get rewarded for doing so

Which is why I want the stinger

[manic stratus]

you'll want to look into the gearset "Umbra Initiative" then, i would start farming for those pieces . Umbra rewards you for playing both in and out of cover

[deep raven]

Tbh, I was looking more into lengmo because of the lmg damage. But will do! Thanks for the advice!

[manic stratus]

can always do umbra initiative with petrov, as thats a 10% (i think) lmg damage buff for 1 pc

[rugged stratus]

Only issue with umbra is the broken talent, forcing you to remove and place back an umbra piece to get it stacking

[deep raven]

Oh...good to know. Yeah I'll pass then. Thanks for the info!

[rugged stratus]

Can run it on striker without issue

Or highend, which is what would be needed to utilize lengmo

[deep raven]

I'm tending toward lemon since it's specifically for lmg, but it's so grindy

I don't know if I should keep the blue primary core or go for all red

[rugged stratus]

Well, it's got the lmg bonus, but something like striker + petrov would be a lot stronger

Specific weapon damage is additive to redcores, crit is the way to get higher damages

[deep raven]

Really? I though high end was the really desirable stuff...

[rugged stratus]

It can be. You would still want crit tho. So ceska/grupo still gonna be there most likely.

[deep raven]

Plus I really wanted to try the overwatch and composed talents

[rugged stratus]

Highend can be really good since each piece has 2 attributes

[deep raven]

On Lengmo, would you keep the blue primary core?

[iron zinc]

@cedar schooner @manic stratus much appreciated for responses. I hear ppl talk about having different play styles but why is it whenever I play in groups, everyone plays exactly the same (it seems to me) they just come out guns blazing running up to enemies and blasting them. Only playing d2 a few weeks so pls correct if im wrong

[rugged stratus]

But some geaeset bonuses really outweigh highend.
That's why striker is so strong.
Also ongoing directive and heartbreaker

[pseudo tundra]

Might be better to ask, how you want to play, support and with certain weapons? Sniping, focusing on skills or shield? Status effect and so on

Its easy to point anyone towards the meta, but i think finding how you want to play is more interesting

[deep raven]

Really utilizing the cover since I love the feeling of it and it's a fun gameplay mechanic!

[rugged stratus]

Personally, no. I would farm crit rolls so I can run all red. But that's more preference.
If you do run blue cores then specific weapon damage like lengmo 3rd bonus has more impact.

I'm not sure if stinger has a long underbarrel attachment point, but if it does you might also consider heartbreaker. Comes with lmg set bonus

[deep raven]

I'm tending toward red too, but that would mean 2 cores plus the talent would have to role correctly...

[deep raven]

I'll remember that, thanks!

[rugged stratus]

Anytime. Trial and error will help you find the sweet spot.
Feel free to add a build image in #td2-build-advice when you have it somewhat squared away. Alot of times little tweakes can make a big difference

[wispy merlin]

the game rewards you more for playing more aggressively, and using cover isn't really doing that. overwatch and composure don't compare to the top talents for this reason. if you want to use overwatch then you're mostly playing a support role to buff your teammates' damage

due to how overwatch buffs the team

[deep raven]

I know that those really aren't the best, and probably wouldn't hold up in really difficult mission, but like, I've been playing my generic striker set for ages, and while it's good, I really like the idea of using the cover aspect of the game, and lmgs really compliment that playstile I feel like

[wispy merlin]

you can just use cover with any build is the point

you being safe in cover IS the reward

using cover is inherently low risk

[deep raven]

I get that, but I want a BIGGER reward for being in cover. Just a change in playstile

[wispy merlin]

again, the nature of taking cover is low risk. it is MEANT to be low risk

low risk does not expect big rewards -- "high risk high reward"

[pseudo tundra]

He just wants to make cover more wothwhile he understand that

[wispy merlin]

and to reiterate, the talents that do something when you are in cover are mostly for team support or giving you a bit less damage bonus for the tradeoff of you staying in cover. but other talents don't have that requirement

[wispy merlin]

i know, i'm just saying the rewards of being in cover don't have to necessarily come from the gear pieces themselves. the reward is already in the mechanic itself

[deep raven]

I understand what you're saying, and you're probably right. Im not to well versed in division. It might sound silly but I like the cinematic feeling of moving from cover to cover and such.

[wispy merlin]

the only talent/buff in this game that requires you to not be in cover is the umbra 4p talent, otherwise you can stay in cover and use any talent and it works the exact same as if you were out of cover

well, if you don't know yet, using the cover to cover animation lets you take less damage or even no damage from bullets sometimes

that is very well-utilized by skilled players too

the rewards of using the cover mechanic are already very massive

[deep raven]

I just want to make it more worthwhile, you know? Like a little extra bonus or reward for doing so, even if other talents or gear would be better in most situations! I really understand what you're saying, it's just I want to try something a little different. I really appreciate the feedback tho!

[wispy merlin]

that's the thing though, i'm trying to fill you in on what being in cover already offers you because to be frank if i get someone who asks that question it's usually because they haven't explored most of what the gear and buffs the game has to offer

so it wouldn't make sense to ask for buffs for it, it would be overtuned

i'm not asking you to spend 2000 hours in the game and come back to reassess that statement; i have the perspective you need and so am telling you, buffs to using cover are not needed because they're already there

[deep raven]

Alright...I guess I'll just look for something else then...

Thanks for the feedback though

[wispy merlin]

i apologize if i came off as argumentative. really i was trying to be informative. i actually agree with you that using cover is a really good mechanic, and not enough people use it

[deep raven]

I know you were just trying to help. It's alright

[zealous spire]

Is there something I need to do for the scorpio shotgun to be in the loot pool? cause I've been farming shortunds wuth targeted loot and got 6 sweet dreams out of 13 exotics (also 5 imperial dynasty's and the rest were bullet kings wtf is up with that)

i'm losing my mind here

[pseudo tundra]

Nope

Pure RNG

[zealous spire]

there are 3 exotics shotguns so I rolled a 33% chance 6 times

rng hates me

[mellow trout]

Speaking of shotguns is overlord in general loot these days

I like never played in that season so I'm missing Acosta knees and that

[cedar yacht]

It should be in the loot pool

[wispy merlin]

i've gotten an overlord drop like once

am i (un)lucky

[tough marsh]

I've gotten very few of those

[iron zinc]

@pseudo tundra was that a response to me ?

[pseudo tundra]

Yeah

[iron zinc]

Ok just checking. Yea figuring it out. appreciate ur thoughts

[rugged stratus]

make some proper Lootcifer sacrifices, and youll have more favorable RNG.. i hear tier 6 stinger hives @ heroic countdown extraction is a popular method for this. ymmv
🔥 😈 🔥

[zealous spire]

can anyone tell me why the lexington that was in my mailbox was level 1?

[cedar schooner]

You were likely level one when you claimed it

[zealous spire]

what difficulty should I do countdown for farming the credit for exotic caches?

[cedar schooner]

Challenging is generally recommended. Heroic can be a little better if you’re able to very consistently extract

[zealous spire]

ok I'm gonna do this instead of summit farming for the scorpio, I feel my sanity slipping away after getting the sweet dreams 7 times now. That's getting a 33% 7 time meaning its 1 in 3484.75

[manic stratus]

It will eventually drop, ive been in the same boat for the last 2 weeks, finally got my scorpio the other night from countdown exotic cache

[zealous spire]

9 sweet dreams now and not another exotic shotgun in sight

[manic stratus]

what are you farming?

[zealous spire]

scorpio

[manic stratus]

i meant activity

[zealous spire]

countdown

[manic stratus]

anything out of the exotic caches?

[zealous spire]

I got 2 sweet dreams in one countdown run and got an st elmos engine from cache

[mellow trout]

It took 3 months for me to get a Scorpio if it makes you feel any better

[snow cargo]

I got both Ouro and Bighorn before I got Elmos... ouro was 32 runs for me.

[slim elk]

47

[sudden matrix]

Isn't it great to give one to people on their first run.

[silent estuary]

What's the best way to get The Gift if I suck at PVP? I can clear landmarks and extract if nobody ganks me

[regal summit]

Buy named caches. You can just grind countdown for something else you need, and spend the credits on caches.

[silent estuary]

probably going to take a while. So I'll just target loot Providence and slap normal vigilance on a good backpack until I get the named cache results I want

thanks

[regal summit]

Yea, there's no damage difference anyway when it's active.

[fathom agate]

yep.

You can literally eye test it

shoot an enemy and stand there, shoot an enemy then stand next to them in cover.

Even if they are standing directly next to you, you'll see them miss more bullets/do less dmg

[nocturne siren]

Ask me how I know 🤠

if anybody needs a NASTY overlord group play pvp build lmk

[silent estuary]

is library and expertise level shared between alts?
What about journey progress and season XP?

[gray mason]

Yes, yes, and yes 🙂

[silent estuary]

thanks. I think I'm going to start setting up alts for the different specialization skill selections since they can't be loadout selected

[gray mason]

Actually, specializations can be loaded on the fly. If you save a load out with each of your preferred specialization weapons active, you can then load the specialization to change your spec

[silent estuary]

yeah but if you have a healing technician and a turret and drone technician it loads the same skill selections

meanwhile the skill tree allows you to only pick either 10% skill damage or 10% repair skills

[gray mason]

Oh okay, I see what you mean.

And yeah, that's sadly not possible 🫤

[silent estuary]

well since everything is shared we can run different builds with the same spec, just need to be in different characters

[gray mason]

You will however need to level up the specialization points on the individual character. They are sadly not shared.

[silent estuary]

hmm that does take a little while 🤔

[gray mason]

Furthermore, any skills that require SHD tech to unlock also needs to be collected on the individual character 🫤

The SHD tech needs to be collected, I mean 😅

[silent estuary]

damn I haven't even collected it all on my main yet

stupid NYC projects sitting there like "2/5 SHD tech caches collected" meanwhile I'm like "there's literally no entrance to that building"

[gray mason]

Been so long since I have played a new character. I am just now noticing what is called "Skill Unlocks" under the skills at the skill guy at the white house. Now I am wondering if it was actually those you used to unlock the specialization skills, and how do you even get those 🤔

[iron zinc]

Is there a diff between superior and high end gear? Is one btr than the other ?

[open mountain]

high end is better

has access to 3rd attributes

[daring wren]

Better max rolls available on the attributes too I think?

Might be wrong on that

[open mountain]

superiors also can’t be optimized iirc

[iron zinc]

Interesting . Thanks

[junior sequoia]

They should call it "inferior" rarity at this point.

[wispy merlin]

supinferior

[open mountain]

supper

[honest pivot]

Why do people keep kicking me out of count down groups after I join

[pseudo tundra]

hard to say, are you running mostly skill based builds?

[honest pivot]

I haven't played in a over year just diving back in

[wispy merlin]

did you do challenging or heroic

[honest pivot]

Challenge i run with no problem when I don't get booted

[wispy merlin]

what build did you run

[honest pivot]

Part striker right now I'm still tryin to relearn this game sadly

Is there fast way to level up SHD level solo

[wispy merlin]

as long as you don't use any skill a hunter can turn against you you should be fine

challenging countdown is where you would be starting out to farm builds so it'd be weird for people to kick you if you did things right

[wispy merlin]

heroic open world 4/5 directives

control points are really good

[honest pivot]

I got kicked right after matchmake didn't even start the run yet

Soon as I see the list of players i get u have been kicked from group message

[honest pivot]

Thanks

Only shd level 54 I've haven't really played in forever see people up in lvl 5000+ lol

[wide bone]

is there a xp farm for the shades of red ?

[cedar yacht]

well it helps to not queue for heroic countdown

Just keep matching for challenging and you'll get one. There more people willing to carry in challenging than in heroic.

[honest pivot]

I was only doing challenge it but I finally got in 2 I wasn't kicked from

[daring wren]

You can host Countdown too and the no one will boot you. Unless you do it yourself

[limpid osprey]

are the dark zone in TD2 still actively being used?

[woven matrix]

I have a problem with people shooting through walls

[digital chasm]

Can you change who can invite in your clan?

Like what role can invite

[open mountain]

just dont promote or something

[rugged stratus]

Recruits cant invite. Agent and higher can invite

[lilac peak]

if you fail a hunter puzzle encounter then you can just restart from the beginning or do i gotta wait for reset

[mellow trout]

You can restart but has to be from the beginning and it still has to be night time

Some of the puzzles are too elaborate to try more than once a night

[lilac peak]

thanks

[unreal ice]

guys

uhmm DZ is the pvp content or pve content or both ????

[paper bramble]

Both

[alpine vessel]

Random question about summit, I'm about to clear 100,however I realised I am missing the shoulder pads is there a way I can go back to 21-40 to get the last exoctic component?

[nimble spruce]

If you join someone else on a lower floor than you then you can get them, once you go back to your own session you'll still have your previous checkpoint on the higher floor.

If you join someone on a higher floor though you'll replace your checkpoint with their higher one

[alpine vessel]

Okay brilliant just didn't want to go through it all again lol thankyou

[exotic nexus]

Just got the st. elmo's engine, but the mods on the gun have lower stat, fx. the muzzel only has 15& chc out of 20%, how do i max out the stats?

[mellow trout]

It was nerfed a while back

[exotic nexus]

why does it still show the old value on the mods?

[mellow trout]

For some reason the attachments flavour text is the old stats

[exotic nexus]

ok thanks for the heads up

[unreal ice]

st elmo

nice

this is the time you step into another hell

reroll your elmo stat

[cedar yacht]

Hmm… 🤔

[mellow trout]

Firstly don't ping ubi staff

Actually where's modmail

[bronze berry]

@valid stone As Naval said: Don't ping Ubi staff, it's against the #rules Send a message to modmail, we can try to reach out to someone from the team and see if they message you so you can verify if you are an actual Ubi employee and they wanna give you the role.

[tough marsh]

top of the list

[halcyon stirrup]

why is my character walking very slow instead of jogging? how do i revert it to normal

[tough marsh]

backspace

[halcyon stirrup]

omfg i never thought itll be space lmfaoo tghank you so much

[rugged stratus]

High doubt .
You would think an employee would have their own internal way of messaging and obtaining the proper role... not reaching out on an open channel. seems like a weak attempt to get some extra permissions.

[pseudo tundra]

anyone has a quick tl;dr list of the scouts, missed a couple of weeks due some travel

[silent estuary]

https://thedivision.fandom.com/wiki/Manhunt_Scouts

[pseudo tundra]

thought people had abandoned the game wiki

[silent estuary]

up to date for the current week. No idea who updates, but it's fresh 🤷‍♂️

[knotty crane]

seeker mine kills count as grenade kills?

[cedar yacht]

no

[cedar yacht]

Just do grand washington and nade the stack at the start and reset

[pseudo tundra]

I think technician rocket launcher might work as granades, remember someone finding out as am accident

[weary junco]

I know what the bottom exotic is, but what are the other two?

[cedar yacht]

Lullaby and Bighorn

[weary junco]

Oh yeah forgot I was missing the bighorn

[narrow kraken]

Bighorn - Dropped from DZ/Legendary strongholds

Lullaby - Related to some exclusive game version or i dont remember exactly

Btw can the strega drop from exotic caches?

[spring moss]

hey guys are weapon mods and armour mods reusable? like should i be using any i have or should i start saving them for my endgame build? (just hit lvl 40)

[cedar yacht]

Idk but it can drop if you target ars

[unreal harbor]

Best build to use

For the blue screen

[cedar yacht]

Dps build

[pseudo tundra]

well as most thing you want ones that are maxed out, it can only be equipped in one piece of gear at a time so you can have one god rolled crit damage and equip in all your gear if that was the question

[nova trout]

That’s what I do I only have 4 god rolled save it with one load out take it put it on the next, every-time you put load out on mod auto switches over

[rugged stratus]

It appears to be summit challenges , judging by the screenshot

[wary spoke]

Does Preservation still heal after swapping weapons?

[wispy merlin]

it's never done so

[robust pine]

My minimap disappeared and I can't get it back. Anyone know how to fix this?

[rain nova]

Why did the game say "rouge agent detected" after I walked out of a safe house but no one was there

[pseudo tundra]

Rogue agent spawned, but probably in an odd place far from you

[cedar yacht]

Oh

[slim elk]

Only applies to the weapon that has preservation/that's equipped

[wheat berry]

it means the nearest activity to you has been replaced by a rogue agent fight

[silent estuary]

what scope do people prefer to use on their determined-hotshot snipers? I used to run the sharpshooter scope on it for the 45% headshot damage but feel like it's overscoped. I'm starting to think that the ACOG might be the sweet spot - it stays unzoomed by default for those Determined body shots at normal engagement distance but you have a 4x option if you want to make a further shot. The +50% optimal range also helps push the 50m effective range rifles to do full damage at all distances.

[slim elk]

Holo-x something
it's a no-scope mod that gives a bit of hsd

[silent estuary]

damn, dont have that yet

[slim elk]

it's a squared shaped sight

[silent estuary]

but you're confirming my thoughts that the long scopes are overscoped

[slim elk]

I only use the digital scope when my TV is too far away from me like the one in my room

[silent estuary]

lol

[slim elk]

I used to hate it but eh, it helps a lot

[silent estuary]

so aim assist snaps in on aim, not on shot - another reason to stay unscoped

it's funny how it's more important to be unscoped for sniper than AR because I really want that aim assist to specifically lock onto the head and not the body, and I can only control that when I'm unscoped

[digital chasm]

Do you need optimal chc for an Ongoing build?

Since the armor piercing is already really good.

[wooden cypress]

I need someone to play with me and explain some things and help me understand the game. Please!!

[wooden cypress]

Can u help me

[nocturne siren]

I run mine the full crit setup and it's a DUMP TRUCK of pain. Even with Iron Lung setting people on fire + bleeding hitting around 1.2m per crit headshot for it... My mk16 doing like 1.7m bc of sadist... Hell yeah run a full crit setup 🔥

4 piece ongoing, coyote mask, ceska backpack with unstoppable force. Iron Lung secondary, MK16 with sadist as primary. Pistol as Orbit. Riot foam skill as skill 1, skill 2 is reliable ol reviver hive. Specialization may as well be gunner for AoK 10% and you supply your team with Hollow rounds... May as well add to the ammo. If built right, your CHC on both guns should be about 50-55% and the CHD should be about 140-170%. Coyote long buff will carry you to 60% chc for easy long range engagements and close up you'll be the kiss of death with coyote close range buff of 25% chd. Additionally, you can run EMP pulse and use the gunner mods to boost the pulse or you can run the banshee pulse. Overall great build, chest piece is now a must over Glass Cannon. Started using this over striker and find I clear content much much quicker

Wanted to add this last one too, Lexington with Sadist slots in perfectly good too (Or FAMAS for all those who don't have Lexington)

[limpid osprey]

Anyone know by any chance if the season pass in the division 1 adds a lot of narrative / story? doing a playthrough of TD1 for story

[nimble spruce]

Probably better to ask in #td1-general. Iirc it mainly adds new game modes (survival, underground, resistance) with their own little stories but not particularly part of the main overall story.

[limpid osprey]

got no access to that channel?

[nimble spruce]

You need to pick the td1 role in the Roles channel

[limpid osprey]

got it

[rugged stratus]

Good chc always needed on any crit based dps. It's such a big factor in the overall damage. Not as important on hsd based dps like bighorn/eagleburger setups

[digital chasm]

That eagle burger something else I hear

[hybrid girder]

Is this always in the crate?

[pseudo tundra]

if you havent farmed one before it's always there

[hybrid girder]

I can't pick it up.

[wheat berry]

it’s not an item

[pseudo tundra]

it's a material to craft an specific exotic

do you already have it?

[wheat berry]

but you have to finish floor 100 to get it

[hybrid girder]

I guess so. It's been a while and my memory isn't the best.

[wheat berry]

i wont spoil floor 100 😊

[hybrid girder]

What about this lion? I got the pair of lion eyes but this won't interact.

[pseudo tundra]

thats for the dodge city holster, not the chestpiece

[mellow trout]

iirc that puzzle involves doing them in a certain order

[hybrid girder]

So I must be at the wrong lion.

Are there more than one in Constitution Hall?

[cedar yacht]

Its part of a hunter puzzle

[pseudo tundra]

lions are for hunters, that exotic piece for an holster that you need to collect parts from control points and an special encounter later

[hybrid girder]

This is what lead me to that control point.

[pseudo tundra]

yeah just donate that part and go find the next one

[hybrid girder]

I guess that part is somewhere in my inventory?

[pseudo tundra]

it should be in hte same part you can check your mats like crafting materials

[hybrid girder]

Resources?

[pseudo tundra]

yeah

[cedar yacht]

Oh he's doing dch quest

[rain nova]

When did rifles become automatic

[mellow trout]

Recently

[pseudo tundra]

this season

and it's not every single one, but the vast majority

also applies to MMR

[rain nova]

I know merciless has a binary trigger but isn't also automatic

[pseudo tundra]

merciless still the same

LVOA-C, MK20, M1A and many others are full auto now

M16, 1886 and couple others stayed the same

[bitter mango]

I have all four parts of the nemesis sniper, what do I do now?

[cedar yacht]

Do you have the blueprint

[bitter mango]

No I do not

[cedar yacht]

Gotta wait then

[bitter mango]

is washington next week?

[cedar yacht]

Who knows

It could be next week or in 7

[bitter mango]

Oh its complete rng what missions are available?

Fuar

[narrow kraken]

Ive got the strega but cant buy the reconfig blueprint... do i rlly gotta grind the season pass to get it....

[nimble spruce]

Yup (or wait for next season)

[thin bison]

hey guys , just started playing division 2 and got a question about equipment , what should i look for at the beginning , which stats do i want? or should i stick to the set benefits?

i get so much loot i dont know what to wear and what not lol

and are yellow weapons automaticaly better then purple?

[sudden matrix]

yellow/gold, gearsets, and exotics are all you'll keep in the end game.

[rugged stratus]

Highend > purple

[rugged stratus]

If still under 40 just use whatever gives most damage. After 40 check the pinned spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice . There is a whole section with tons of build guides

[thin bison]

aight tyvm , doing the new york campagne rn , and yeh thats what i was doing for now just go for most weapon dmg

[rugged stratus]

Yup. As you level itll sometimes help to check the vendors. There will be different stock at different levels

[thin bison]

should i go for attributes or should i prioritize set bonuses?

https://i.imgur.com/lZpSZrQ.jpeg

so all these purples are worthless?

[stuck talon]

hey, I don't want to interupt anything here I wanted to ask how Invasion Missions work? I'm very confused about it

[rugged stratus]

Tbh it wont make a huge difference at this stage.
Weapons dange would be crit rolls and weapon damage.
Skill go for skill damage/haste

[thin bison]

do i sell or dissamble loot?

[rugged stratus]

After 40, they rotate on a weekly basis. Black tusk occupies, and the missions are a little different while occupied.
You can use mission options> change mode if you want to get to a normal or manhunt version

[stuck talon]

but which missions? just the main once or are there specific ones?

[rugged stratus]

Just sell for now. Once 40, you tinker> library to pull attributes off different items to use for recalibration.
After you'll donate what's left to expertise (also tinkering).
Anything left you break into mats to use for crafting

[thin bison]

aight tyvm 🙂

[rugged stratus]

Rng determines which missions are invaded. Tidal is always invaded. 1 stronghold, 3 missions.
If you hover over an invaded stronghold itll draw a line to the missions needed to unlock it.
Invaded stuff is great for leveling spec. Like 5 spec points per iirc

[stuck talon]

ah ok got it thank you very much ^^

[rain nova]

What is better to use for striker build a honey badger with optimistic or a rifle with boomerang

[silent estuary]

you usually want a weapon with a high fire rate to build up stacks so probably the AR is a bit better.

[rain nova]

I run rock n roll in second slot for stacks

[narrow kraken]

Any tips to speedrun the season track EXP

[silent estuary]

do the manhunts at one lower difficulty than you normally do, do priority objectives, make sure you hit all the daily/weekly projects on every alt

[nimble spruce]

I don't think daily projects give season pass xp, just weekly ones

[silent estuary]

oh whoops

no consistency there

makes me feel even better about missing that horrible pentagon mission yesterday

[cedar schooner]

AR. Just makes maintaining stacks easier

[finite stream]

Ayo guys, considering the games lore did the outbreak happened only within nyc atm of D1?

[cedar schooner]

Pretty sure it’s country wide. Why are you getting that impression?

[finite stream]

Nah I’m just curious about the overall geopolitics of division universe

What happened to EU?

[cedar schooner]

https://discord.com/channels/477210626742288384/554704243727269898

probably a better place for these questions tbh

[charred shore]

There is an entire com set that you can pick up in the open world plus the Langley coms which you pick up from the Faye Lau Camp white oak manhunt mission where an assistant to the president gives him a situation update on a variety of other countries

The situation update would have taken place during the events of Division 1 so it did indeed spread across the globe, it's entirely uncertain at this point if there are any places that managed to contain it.

[thin bison]

https://i.imgur.com/MjXMtIz.png

what does this yellow indicator mean?

it sometimes go blue

[wispy merlin]

you have modifiers on

[thin bison]

weapon modifier?

[pseudo tundra]

You get extra damage depending on the distance

Season modifier

You can read about it in isaac icon in your inventory

[fluid pelican]

Can someone tell me more about Roosevelt Island? I'm struggling with mission where I need to defeat The Wildfire after destroying fuel tank but I don't see this 😭

[junior sequoia]

It's ISAC not Isaac

[pseudo tundra]

must have been thinkg of a different thing named isaac

probably dead space

[slim elk]

oisac

[eager kayak]

Anyone know how to solve this haze/fog that randomly appears indoors? Also entering the buildings creates super bright haze/fog to the point where one can’t see interior until it goes away or rotating the camera

[maiden nebula]

How long does it take to trigger an endorsement? Just did two invaded missions and got nothing, three cp’s yesterday and got the same, etc. I pull my weight, what’s going on?

[rugged stratus]

Not long. The kill xp on a mission is usually enough, definitely on mission end is more than enough.
Friends and clanmates dont trigger an endorsement when call is answered

[silent estuary]

ISAC, make us whole again...
Scanning for: "make us whole again." No matches.
Piece of shit wristwatch...

[weary junco]

When you set up a clan and type in the name. Will the game notify you if it's taken after you click create? As at the moment I can choose the same name as someone else

[silent estuary]

what does the accuracy stat do on shotguns? It certainly doesn't change the spread. Mostly useless?

[pseudo tundra]

it barely changes

or it might be bugged and only handling changes accuracy

i forgot the weird tests i did

[silent estuary]

gonna just go all in on stability on the ACS-12

[pseudo tundra]

found it

this is a shotgun with -acc, 0 acc and max acc

if you overlap

no change

[silent estuary]

yeah I also compared with my super scientific tests of just blasting the wall in the range

[pseudo tundra]

handling odd enough affects accuracy and decreases spread

what affects the most is standing still and being in cover

double barrel has a weird niche that has absurd accuracy (for a shotgun) while on cover standing still

but worst range, so eh

[silent estuary]

stability seems to have the most effect of not making the acs-12 bounce around like you're shaking canastas

[pseudo tundra]

you stability does work

[rain nova]

Why do I get rouge agent detected Everytime I exit 1040 but no one is there

[pseudo tundra]

That was answered earlier today

[rugged stratus]

theyll be at one of the nearby activities

[rain nova]

I know but it's kinda annoying me

And I guess I figured I would get a different answer this time

[silent estuary]

what's the most time efficient way to level a new alt to 40? Need to do 3 of them before 5x weekend 😆

[rugged stratus]

i think solo its dz landmarks, group augmented its probably lincoln a bunch of times

[silent estuary]

ah right since I'm sub 40 I won't get ganked

[rugged stratus]

all those gains on 5x will show up on the alts even if you level them after the event

they also show up every time theyre deleted and reran as fresh

[silent estuary]

oh hm so no need to try to rush to get 5x on the weeklies? Probably not a big difference there compared to just cranking out CPs on heroic 5 directives

[rugged stratus]

yeah, in that case itll be a bigger impact. i wasnt thinking about projects

you def have time. justy do 1 a day, or 1 every other

[silent estuary]

yeah I'll give the DZs a shot. Do you bother to extract or just rush landmarks? It's just junk loot.

[wispy merlin]

just rush

[rugged stratus]

but yeah i was in error. projects have a big impact. even if its just seasonal daily. like 20 levels for 1 mission each day if completed on all 4

[silent estuary]

yeah that's what I was thinking

[tough marsh]

my Descent rotation tier list

[bitter mango]

What's the best duo strat to run legendary missions? Rn I'm hotshot while my friend runs striker but we always seem to get hit by nades

And it lowk cooks us because we get one shot. I was thinking one of us swaps to tank build while the other runs striker to focus down whoever's on the tank

[mellow trout]

Because of how threat works tanks are fairly useless

They go for whoever is doing the most damage

[bitter mango]

So it's literally just a skill issue for us then 😭

[mellow trout]

Leggy is tough

[wispy merlin]

if you position correctly you'll get naded and droned way less often

don't let your full body be seen by them

that means only use tall cover, never use half cover

[tough marsh]

Also, adds is for the hotshot player, they are built for that; leave the robotics and chunga for the striker player.

[bitter mango]

Should I roll some armour cores onto some of my striker pieces?

[wide bay]

If you want survivability you'll be better of running 1 or 2 pfe mods than a blue core for legendary

[cedar yacht]

Or just run support

🗿

[junior sequoia]

Would be funny if this channel has a welcome message with a FAQ like:

No, pestilence isn't a status effect
No, you can't get the Lexington if you didn't get it or if you got it on the wrong level.
Yes, striker is the best build for DPS
and don't worry about builds until you are lvl 40.

[cedar yacht]

Yeah but i dont think management wants to that

[bitter mango]

sweet ty

[inner tendon]

The 3rd point is actually fairly debatable, depending on what you want the DPS for.
But as for pinning regularly asked questions: we actually do that fairly often, but the vast majority of people don't check pins before they ask.

[cedar yacht]

Yeah

It’s easier to just do “!builds” in a bot channel

Than telling someone to check pins

[inner tendon]

We don't have access to those kinda bots, that would be a thing for the admins to sort out anyway.

Remember: admins = run the server. mods = manage the day-to-day.

[wide bay]

Pass the message on?

[cedar yacht]

Can’t you make a suggestion to use isac for similar ideas?

[inner tendon]

Pass the message on that people don't read pins? I think the admins know that.

The funny thing here is that, if people actually read the pins we have, a lot of the frequently asked questions are already pinned.

[dusty adder]

Does anyone know why Alt+Entering after alt tabbing back into the game breaks the UI and causes major framerate drops and if there's a fix?

[dire radish]

Why do you need to alt enter? You game goes into windowed or something?

[dusty adder]

Yes

[dire radish]

Perhaps try playing on windowed borderless altogether. If you alt tab much, it's better anyhow.

[bitter mango]

What should I run as targeted gear if I only have a hotshot, striker and skill build?

Just want a bit more build variety thats all

[inner tendon]

@bitter mango If you check the 📌 pinned-message over in #td2-build-advice "spreadsheet 2", all of the builds contained within are good for Heroic level.

[pseudo tundra]

OD and HF are my mostly used builds

i do have weirdo mostly red foundry to use with regulus, been playing around with virtuoso (just okay) and aces cowboy build

if you want legendary and efficient builds, specially to play with smaller group then you definetly cut down on useful builds

for just playing around on heroic a lot more weird stuff works fine, just not the meta number crunching crits min-max others tend to obsess over

[iron zinc]

Anyone here use shield pro for d2 play ? Can't figure out how to respond to on screen mesg

[weary junco]

Are the sewer boxes the fast way to get faction keys?

[pseudo tundra]

bounties are also an alternative

[weary junco]

Are you guaranteed a faction key for each bounty?

I see it listed as a reward. Thanks

[neon wing]

do higher difficulties spawn more special ennemies like engineers?

i need to kill 100 for my last challange

[pseudo tundra]

I want to say yes, at the same time inwant to say a bigger group would make more enemies spawn

[neon wing]

hmm i don't have 3 people that are willing to keep them for me

i assume most people are still grinding that challange

[elfin scaffold]

is there a way to disable/reduce friendly health bars? It gets a little cluttered in countdown

[weary junco]

There is one at the beginning of stranded tanker which spawns on story. You can snipe them and restart. Or run through Lincoln on challenging can still net you double digits per run

[silent estuary]

ok let me get this straight, is it SHD XP that is shared between characters or the SHD level? So if I get 350000 XP on two different guys do I get a level up or no?

[neon wing]

thx mate

[wispy merlin]

1. both...?
2. yes

[sudden matrix]

@toxic flume

[silent estuary]

how does account shared materials work if I'm near the cap? Say if two characters have 7000 steel each and the limit is 9999

[nova trout]

Once you share materials they over cap

[silent estuary]

once I'm overcap I can't gain any more right?

[nova trout]

I only went to 28k I’m sure you can go much higher

But when mats drop in free world no you can’t pick them up, if that’s what you asking but once you overcap just use them all on things you need then rinse and repeat, I did it with my level 950 character so I have to make so many mules for it to be efficient

[silent estuary]

hmmm yeah too much management, you're right just use it up until undercap

[nova trout]

Yeah it’s a grind and will burn you out quick I only did 5 mules and quit I’m gonna wait until I’m a much higher SHD

[silent estuary]

yeah I think at least SHD 2k for watch mules to really be efficient, otherwise just use them as alts

[nova trout]

Yeah rn I have one holding a crap ton of random gear I just refuse to go through

Waiting for this 5x gonna be the death of me

[sudden matrix]

It's much earlier than that if you have someone carry your mule. Basically can you farm more mats in an hour than a mule provides in salvage points, it's much lower SHD depending on the mats you'll redeem.

[nova trout]

Rn I just wanna do printer filament, came back after not playing for a long time and proficiency was a new thing, it’s a grind for sure

[sudden matrix]

idk what expertise level you are currently but I'd donate items via countdown until you hit like level 15ish.

[nova trout]

I’m only at 9 currently, and yeah countdown is nice but still super super slow imo

[rugged stratus]

Think of all your agents having the exact same watch. The only difference is they both accumulate a scavenging point when you level up.
4 agents, main gains 700k and gains a single shd. All 4 agents gain a scavenging.

[silent estuary]

yeah but also, if I want, I can have one character get 350k and another get 350k and they both level up when I hit 700k

I just was checking if the XP points are shared like the SHD level - turns out it is

[rugged stratus]

Just dont delete an alt until they are empty of scavenging. Never over cap that way. If someone is using up scavenging points just to overcap, they are wasting you points on something they obv dont need

[slim elk]

yeah and there's no need to swap characters for them to gain XP/level up at the same time
you can easily run your main and all 3 mules will share the same XP

[silent estuary]

true but if I want 4x projects I need to gain XP on 4 different alts, so I had to check if they combined properly. Looks like they do

[rugged stratus]

The swapping gain is doing projects. If just running cp, you'll only need to run on 1

[slim elk]

oh projects

[rugged stratus]

Yeah they do

[rugged stratus]

This was me last night 😂

[slim elk]

I totally forget those every day

[rugged stratus]

I'm used to doing em daily on all the alts. It's like 50 components a week if you do everything

[slim elk]

you mean 25 nbb's and 25 chamaleons?

[rugged stratus]

I skip legs tho

[wispy merlin]

bro doesn't ask me to play legs with him...

will carry for food

[rugged stratus]

[wispy merlin]

pls don't skip leg day

[rugged stratus]

I only have 🍿 and 🍻

[wispy merlin]

i'll take the popcorn

my vigi pgc striker loadout is named Popcorn after all

[rugged stratus]

I been slacking on the 3x/5x events. I think I'm only grinding out like 300-400shd each

[wispy merlin]

yeah i need exo comps more than scavenging rn

[rugged stratus]

Yep

[deep raven]

Hey guys a question. Can you obtain the stinger only through a friend referral?

[pseudo tundra]

is that the LMG? as far as i am aware, only from there

[silent estuary]

any way to share credits between characters? This is the stupidest thing but my alt has no $$

[deep raven]

Yes, but it's only when you're the one getting invited. Or so I'm told

When you do the inviting, you don't get it

[austere wind]

uh hello guys i take it the seasonal content is still locked behind making a new chracter?

[slim elk]

nope

[sudden matrix]

No, it's locked behind a horrible journey now.

[austere wind]

it shows i can level up the season pass tho what is locked behind the season pass again

[rugged stratus]

Money, components, water, and food wont share

[silent estuary]

erm, dumb question, is this thing stuck as level 32 now?

[rugged stratus]

Throw a couple scavenging into cash wherever you need it

[silent estuary]

maybe I should scrap it. Does it take up stash space?

ohh the level of it is tied to the number of points I put into it at the specialization

ok I'm scrapping the lot, they're useless space takers

[open mountain]

do you have a level 32 character

[silent estuary]

no it was a level 40 character with 3 points in the pistol for some reason. Fewer points = lower level pistol, apparently

[open mountain]

gotcha

makes sense

[silent estuary]

so, I learned today that the specialist pistols are freely scrappable (you don't get anything back except peace of mind) and if you want another one just respec the pistols skill at the specialization desk and one of the appropriate level will magically appear

[valid bronze]

can anyone send a picture of Mozambique talent?

[rugged stratus]

It's perfect breadbasket. Not at home atm to ss it

[daring wren]

I can get one min

[rugged stratus]

This could be off. I'm not sure if it was included in the rebalance

[wheat berry]

wiki has different numbers

[valid bronze]

yea its 70% now

[daring wren]

Is there a fix to the game changing to Windowed mode all the time? Kinda annoying

[valid bronze]

thanks for the help everyone

[valid bronze]

no it sucks

[rugged stratus]

Patch notes show adjustment so wiki looks correct

[valid bronze]

the google sheet is also now adjusted

[cedar stag]

Whats the ideal route for running a mule to 40? Haven't done one since the changes ~9 months ago

[wispy merlin]

do you have it on windowed fullscreen?

[daring wren]

regular full screen

[wispy merlin]

yeah just do windowed fullscreen

normal fullscreen isn't worth it

[daring wren]

What’s the difference?

NM I googled

[wispy merlin]

windowed fullscreen is literally just the game staying as a window but stretched to the dimensions of the screen

which means when you tab in or out it works as if it was windowed

[daring wren]

And other apps can be on top too I guess?

[wispy merlin]

yeah, if the game doesn't deliberately try to stay on top

[rugged stratus]

Solo, ig dz landmarks are pretty fast.

Group, mission repeat. Like lincoln memorial

[open mountain]

if fast invaded mission available do that instead

[wheat berry]

what does the purple symbol in the middle of the minimap mean

just for reference im standing next to the river in the middle of dz west

[slim elk]

...
dz west entrance?

[wheat berry]

no

i was just south of the safehouse

[mellow trout]

its a dz checkpoint or smth

something dz related maybe recon

[junior sequoia]

Every time a new account enters the DZ there's a DZ recon mission (thus the symbol). So the dev who designed the minimap just decided to keep the DZ recon symbol out of bounds. That is why it's shown on the minimap but not on the mega map, (this doesn't affect the gameplay anyway so forget it).

[daring wren]

I thought that intro mission was removed, no?

[tough marsh]

It is, but the Minimap icon is still displayed.

[daring wren]

I remember doing that in beta heh

[robust pine]

Does Status Effects roll on Tip of the Spear pieces?

[mellow trout]

It can

[robust pine]

Can Status Effects roll on a Utility Gear Mod?

[mellow trout]

No

[rugged stratus]

no status mods, but depending on the build, you can roll the status effects on the gear pieces and shift some of the replaced attributes to mods, like chc/chd/hsd/skill haste/etc.
tbh, there isnt much youll do with status effects other than eclipse setups.

[robust pine]

Does weapon damage affect the flamethrower from firewall? Not sure if flamethrower counts as weapon. Obvious answer is yes but still wanted to ask because I have a suspicion it's actually not.

[mellow trout]

I'm fairly sure spec weapons scale off red cores

[silent estuary]

The initial hit is a weapon but the "on fire" damage-over-time is a status effect

it's like it throws gasoline at you first which does impact damage and then sets it on fire 😆

which one does more damage overall depends on your build but you can build for either way

[robust pine]

Alright, my thought was to run vile mask with tip of the spear. Each piece having status effects on it so I could roll blue cores for everything. One piece of Golan Gear for an extra 10% status effects.

Not sure what to socket on everything though. But with the initial hit being counted I'm not sure how much damage I'd lose from rolling all the blue cores.

AND I could run pestilence too for more status damage for like bosses and named enemies since they take reduced damage from flamethrower

[mellow trout]

If you wanna set everything on fire run eclipse protocol

Tips isn't very good these days tbh

[robust pine]

How so?

Even for control points and missions?

[lavish pendant]

what gives the most season pass exp?

[robust pine]

Journey

2200 for each step

[lavish pendant]

other than countdown, is there a place to target farm St Elmos AR?

[robust pine]

Summit

[mellow trout]

Spec weapons see very limited use

Tips used to be good but it got reworked into whatever it is now

Eclipse is like the go to status effects build

[lavish pendant]

it has a better chance? summit seems like it would take a lot longer to do with the same RNG

[mellow trout]

Main ones are foam and fire

[mellow trout]

There's not a better place than countdown

[lavish pendant]

fug

[mellow trout]

But yeah summit is the only other place that has selectable target loot

[silent estuary]

it's a valid build but only during the Hollywood event which drops special weapon ammo all the time. In non-event play you won't have enough ammo to make use of the Tip of the spear spec weapon damage effect, you'll instead want to just pulse the flame to set things on fire and then let them burn. In that case then Eclipse Protocol is better for the status effect buff and spread.

[robust pine]

Well I'll still try it because I'm adding vile mask and possibly pestilence that might make it work decently. I'm also playing with my wife and my buddy so as long as it's fun and gets the job done I'll make it work.

[mellow trout]

As a heads up pestilence doesn't scale off status effects

[robust pine]

What does the dot scale with?

I know a lot of people saying kamikazevondoom is an idiot but i don't remember why

[mellow trout]

Clickbait builds and nonsense

[mellow trout]

Weapon damage and total weapon damage

[robust pine]

Hmm. Well now I need to rethink like 6 builds I was gonna do. What about RogueGold's builds? Are his legit or also clickbait?

[mellow trout]

As a rule of thumb youtuber builds are all garbage

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nrPBmOrtpkEW1j5fbcRT7L-AXgsGOqMqxXoVtopsiGM/edit?usp=sharing

Here's a sheet with tried and true ones

[robust pine]

Appreciated. I've been playing a long time and I've never really made my own builds before but now my buddy is brand new to the Division franchise so I've been tinkering with my own builds in order to help him out. This will help a lot.

[mellow trout]

Off meta builds can be really fun as long as they're good at what they're meant to do

[grand girder]

Ok so, what is the meta build in the current state of the division too. What is the build that dumpsters every level of the game

[robust pine]

For me, fun is a product of how much chaos and death I can deal in a short time. I like run n gun builds mostly but I also like the burn the world builds where everything just dies in a wall of fire

[grand girder]

Ok can I sit down with someone who has played this game and understands every single aspect of it and then have them explain what everything does

[robust pine]

I'm sitting. I don't know EVERYTHING but I know a good bit, and there are others here that know the rest.

I'm also willing to help as much as possible

[slim elk]

I can try, I'll do my best since eng isn't my native language

[grand girder]

Please do I’m willing to finally just into the deep end and really get into the division 2

I dropped destiny a while back and needed something to scratch that itch again

[robust pine]

Division 2 can do that, for sure.

[silent estuary]

which settlement vendors sell different things than the white house vendor?

[robust pine]

I've been playing Division on and off since the beta of Division 1.

Every vendor has different items

[grand girder]

Yeah then feel free to dm and call and just explain stuff

[robust pine]

Or at least they used to. Been a while since I've had to vendor hop

[grand girder]

Stuff that the game doesn’t out right tell you

[robust pine]

How long will you be on for? Currently spending some time with my wife, but in like an hour or less she'll be heading to bed and I'll be free for a while.

[grand girder]

Depends on if I get tired or not it’s late where I am

About 12:10am

[robust pine]

I'm in Wisconsin, so it's 11:10 here

[grand girder]

Gotcha

[silent estuary]

confirmed thanks - every settlement (incl. White House) has its own vendor inventory, but sellers in the same settlement sell the same inventory (this is what threw me)

the guild vendor is considered a different inventory

[manic stratus]

Bighorn still only drops from leg. Summit and Leg. Stronghold named bosses right?

[silent estuary]

well I'm still wrong, Roy Benitez and the Exchange Vendor are both at Haven but have different inventories

[inner tendon]

Any "named enemy" on legendary difficulty can drop the Bighorn, so effectively: yes.

[manic stratus]

so easy way to remember is at the white house, the inside vendor and the outside vendor will have the same inventory...Everyone else will have a unique inventory

[inner tendon]

There's also the clan-vendor at the White House, who has an entirely different stock to the other 2.

[west onyx]

guys one of my friends doesn't have ammo boxes on his minimap anymore

any1 know why? I can't find a setting

[silent estuary]

it's a directive - fog of war does this I think

[west onyx]

ohhh

[west onyx]

that's probably it ty

[bitter mango]

how do I get +6.0 crit chance mods and +12.0 crit damage mods?

[mellow trout]

Farming

A lot

[bitter mango]

my rolls are always like +4.8% or smth

[mellow trout]

Average rolls are highest in legendary summit but countdown is probably more efficient

[bitter mango]

so just spam countdown?

[mellow trout]

Ye

Target gear mods too

Maybe you'll get the coveted 13 percent pfe mod too

[nocturne siren]

Honestly, I recommend farming those passively in legendary summit boss floors (floors 10/20/30/40/so on work great). I suggest floor 90 tho bc you'll get 3 bosses to farm, maximizing potential good loot

1 shot hotshot build works efficiently at clearing the floor 👍

[daring wren]

I’ve got this one and a bunch of other perfect mods from Challenging Countdown. Works

[weary junco]

Is there any real need to do the area story projects that unlock a bounty?

[sudden matrix]

I'd do all the side missions/missions on the map. Some side missions will block bounties as they take place in part of the side mission.

It's easier to just do them all and not be blocked on content later on tho.

[nimble spruce]

You'll need most of the shd caches to unlock all the skills and perks

[weary junco]

No I've done the story before. I left side quests open to bounty cheese. I mean each area has a project where you have to do things in that area. The only reward is the bounty so I wondered how vital it really is as those are a drag

Besides the shd which yes is important

[nimble spruce]

You'll be missing out on that sense of achievement that comes with ticking them all off...

[nova trout]

There’s also a few hunters you can’t take down without doing side missions, idk my ocd won’t allow me to not do absolutely all content

[weary junco]

You had to hit me with the completionist card, my one weakness

[sudden matrix]

lol

[toxic flume]

are any of the DZ SMG OR AR OR LMG target loot?

[wheat berry]

dz west is ar target loot

[wheat berry]

wait nvm dz west is RIFLE loot

i got the two symbols mixed

[toxic flume]

playing with my feelings

[austere wind]

im s till confuzed how seasonal content works i watched a guide for the game 2 months old dude said nothing about having to make a new character each time

[sudden matrix]

You don't have to make a new character?

If it's an old vid it might just be off what they first said cause they changed it later and now you don't have to make new characters for the seasons.

[austere wind]

mate didn't ths dicosrd go up and arms when the new seasonal stuff started devs saying you have to make a new chracter each time

to play seaonal content and story

[sudden matrix]

You do not need to make a new character for seasonal content.

[pseudo tundra]

That was the original plan, to force people to make a new character, that got changed and people dont have to make new character

[silent estuary]

that's so interesting, how were they planning to do this without destroying long term progression?

[sudden matrix]

They were gonna boost progression.

[silent estuary]

so something like descent? Play the season as a different dude, but get rewards on your main dude?

[pseudo tundra]

a bit

they were going to make a new character slot just for seasonal character

and after that everything you got would be shoved into main regular character

and mastery mode would have been released at the season so your old character could play the hardest mission

there isnt much clear information about it

[austere wind]

oh thank god

[silent estuary]

it's a terrible idea, it's like they read everything that is known about MMOs and online games and thought "ok but what if we just did the opposite?"

[pseudo tundra]

things already happened, see no reason to get angry over what didnt happen

[sudden matrix]

But I'm a gamer and I wanna be mad so I can feel something.

[pseudo tundra]

i leave that for R6

[sudden matrix]

I just hear the worst things about their community...

[austere wind]

i upgraded my pc also had a gtx 750 before 2 gigs and i3core it sucked paying disvion 2 on low now can play in highest with no lag now ican enjoy the story and do warlords after for the first time

[toxic flume]

soo i dont know if this got answered, however NO not the case. Although it was on the board as an idea and while it was… phenomenal concept for tryhards / no lifers.. it would be a bad turn for those who have family work 12 hours a day or such cause imagine having to grind YOUR build

so no they removed the idea of seasonal characters in which im happy cause id hate to grind all of my builds with the same stats just to re do it again

[silent estuary]

it could be legitimately fun if it could be done in just a few hours or a single session oh wait that's just descent

I guess they liked that game mode so much that they went mad with power

[wispy merlin]

the game mode is released for free, just remember that 💀

[pseudo tundra]

I was calling it month long survival mode match

[hot ferry]

this MIGHT be the most english of all time

[wispy merlin]

No, because yes

[wheat berry]

got scorpio from dz, is it a good exotic?

[silent estuary]

My level 31 agent got a GR9 from a level up cache, and can't equip it for some reason. What gives?

[silent estuary]

Scorpio is really good for support and status builds because it's one of a few weapons that just hands out debuffs on every shot innately, definitely keep it

[nimble spruce]

Technically it's correct, the game isn't multiplayer only but is multiplayer...

[hot ferry]

are you newly a mod?

I swear last time I talked to you you weren't a mod

[nimble spruce]

About a couple of months ago, yeah

[hot ferry]

congrats!

[nimble spruce]

Thanks

[silent estuary]

Update on #ask-td2-community message - finished the WONY starting mission, got to Haven, fast travel back to DC, unlocked specializations, and suddenly its equippable now

[slim elk]

You cannot equip something that's above your current level e.g. you're 31 you cannot equip anything higher than lvl31 until you level up.

[silent estuary]

the GR9 is level 31, the character is level 31, in fact it came out of the level 31 proficiency cache

[slim elk]

have you tried relogging?

[silent estuary]

no need, I just had to screw around for a bit and it fixed itself

[slim elk]

I'm fkn blind

[mellow trout]

One endgame update probably borked it

[silent estuary]

not really sure which specific action did the trick. It was still unequippable after the fast travel (I checked) but became ok after I spoke with the quartermaster and finished my "specializations mission"

[mellow trout]

That's probably it

Needed to unlock specs before world tiers previously too

[silent estuary]

this is the most likely explanation - there were a ton of tutorial screens thrown up when I came back to the white house so any one of them could have reset some kind of state

most likely new agents starting in NYC should come back and do a few random chores before they'll be recognized as Legitimate SHD Agents by ISAC 😆

otherwise no GR9 for you

[rain nova]

Is it better to run striker with a lmg or ar

[pseudo tundra]

both work, people like AR better generally

[hot ferry]

are my skills supposed to be mounted like this to my bag? I was playing this with one of my homies when he was new and he put on this bag, they were mounted vertically instead of horizontally, am I tweaking?

[slim elk]

Backpack type places skills and accessories differently

[hot ferry]

I know

I"m saying my homie wore THIS BACKPACK IN PARTICULAR

and it mounted teh skills way differently

*the

correction on my end, it was the grey one from brazos

[pseudo tundra]

Were they the same skills as yours in the same order?

[hot ferry]

I've tried it with every skill, its the same position

[pseudo tundra]

Same order of first and second skills?

[cedar rose]

Is it impossible to play the Manhunt Bounties like Saturn's Cell now?

[pseudo tundra]

Not possible to do the bounties as far as i am aware

[mellow trout]

Are there any chest transmogs that come with elbow pads

[cedar rose]

I see, thank you.

It seems that it used to be "Kill a few Rogues as bounties, then kill the main target", but now we can only kill the main targets.

So for new players like me, it seems like "Btw the Rogues have already been killed by other agents, so you just have to kill the main target."

This is kinda sad, but also lore friendly.

Actually, most people should have wondered "While there are so many agents, how are the villains still alive?".

[inner tendon]

Sokolova has cloning machines.

Although if you want an actual explanation: we canonically only run a "thing" once.

[cedar rose]

May I ask for the explanation about the reason why Bardon Schaeffer survived my attacks in the Island?

[inner tendon]

He was canonically still alive at the end of that mission, Kelso says over the radio.

"he'll live", IIRC.

[cedar rose]

Yes, and I wonder why. Other bosses died when they were taken down.

[inner tendon]

Sure, like Theo and Keener.

[cedar rose]

Is Bardon's body made of iron?

[cedar rose]

Keener walked away from the combat while is HP was remaining.

I cannot get why Theo survived as well. I emptied my ammos to shoot his head after he was taken down.

Was the "Theo" I met some actor pretending to be Theo?

Or Theo himself?

[inner tendon]

Keener laid there with his eyes open.

That was Theo, it's like Hornet from div1.
"They're alive again, just deal with it", is basically the answer.

[cedar rose]

Now I am suspecting if all the villains I've killed are still alive...

I won't be surprised even if Coyote(the VIP Hyena) comes to say hello again.

[inner tendon]

@rare mantle "the gift" is locked to the DZ, so either from there, or Named Item caches, are the only places that you can obtain it from.

[wary spoke]

What mission would be the most efficient mission to farm for an alternative char to grind to 40?

[cedar yacht]

Invaded missions and dz

[wary spoke]

Landmarks?

[toxic flume]

i trust the ouroboros SMG can be farmed in the DZ today since SMG is in the DZ TARGET LOOT?

[nimble spruce]

No, it only drops in incursion regardless of whether you already have one or not

[wary spoke]

^

[cedar yacht]

yeah

[toxic flume]

well shit….

[wispy merlin]

EB, bighorn and ravenous also don't care about targeted loot too

[rain nova]

Why is perfectly measure not on railsplitter anymore

[wispy merlin]

it's never been

it has perfectly accurate

[rain nova]

I could have sworn it was

[wispy merlin]

the apartment has that

[pseudo tundra]

named weapons pre WONY got their talents shuffled

[rain nova]

Whyyyy

[pseudo tundra]

some talents got removed or reworked from weapons

same for gear

https://i.imgur.com/1lZz7rt.jpeg

for the curious people

here's some old stuff i dug up

[wispy merlin]

interesting, measured is on both of them

[pseudo tundra]

we had vest with perfect berserk i think

now that talent doesnt exist and i think the vest now gives perfect braced

[silent estuary]

what does it mean that weapons had 3 talent slots

[wispy merlin]

yeah, weapons used to do that

[silent estuary]

they went down to 1? So everyone got nerfed to hell, that's possibly a 40% reduction in effectiveness not considering talent synergies

I like 1 talent though, 3 would make my head spin

[wispy merlin]

not really, most of the 2nd and 3rd talents just have stat bumps

[silent estuary]

oh so no stupid broken combos like allegro + optimist + fast hands

[wispy merlin]

so you can imagine the 3rd attribute on your weapon being a 3rd talent in gear 1.0 (there is nothing like that but just an example)

[wispy merlin]

yeah no that doesn't exist. fast hands doesn't even exist back then (it was jazz hands that gave unconditional reload speed)

so talents were actually condensed rather than removed, most of the work done by 3 talents are now either moved around or done by just 1 talent

[pseudo tundra]

3nd and third talents were really basic stuff

like extra 15% throwable range, and 10% accuracy

instead of rolls you were having talents

you can see some of them in descent like surgical

that was just a flat 5% crit chance or something

but you could have on gloves

it was just messy

[open mountain]

weren’t holstered talents also a thing

[pseudo tundra]

they were the 3rd talents

[open mountain]

like merciless

i thought those were cool

[pseudo tundra]

anyhow point is, gear information before WONY is outdated and shouldnt be used

[rain nova]

They were mostly exotics

[pseudo tundra]

All high ends had 3, as pointed out, it was just similar to basic stats rolls or generic stuff

[bold scroll]

Could anyone with a ouroboros help me farm for one?

[thorn hedge]

Not the channel for that

[rugged stratus]

You get it from incursion. It wont drop anywhere else even if someone had a drop.
Work on finding an incursion group and just tell the guys, one may drop it for you

[thorn hedge]

^

[bold scroll]

i can just keep famrimg it over and over cuz if not i did it already

[thorn hedge]

It's like a 1% drop chance from bosses so you can farm it (correct me if I'm wrong local)

[rugged stratus]

The boss drops you can. The cache is once a week

[thorn hedge]

Right

Cache should be 5% drop chance if I recall

[bold scroll]

rip then gotta wait

[thorn hedge]

I got mine from a boss

[rugged stratus]

You're good

[thorn hedge]

Wright I believe

[bold scroll]

my luck sucks so ik the boss not gonna drop for me soooo

[thorn hedge]

Mine is crazy hit or miss

I think I spend all my luck on new exotics leaving none for gear xD

[sudden matrix]

3 different 1% chances on the bosses and 10% from the final keyed box.

[pseudo tundra]

Just keep at it, got mine from boss drops

And the second one also to share

[rain nova]

Does invaded dark zone and are targeted loot influence eagle bearer drop rate?

[cedar yacht]

No

[iron zinc]

Anyone know if its possible to read on screen chats after the person left group?

[bright jolt]

Can I optimize all 3 attributes?

[tiny stump]

yeah

[pseudo tundra]

you havent changed sessions or server they should be there

[iron zinc]

@pseudo tundra thx

[silent estuary]

I know this has been asked a lot about the Lexington specifically but just to be sure: there's no way to turn a level 32 named item into a level 40 version of it, right? Unlike exotics where you can just reconfigure it to level 40?

[mellow trout]

Yes

[silent estuary]

RIP the named item drops that followed my dudes from level 30 to 40, my expertise will remember your sacrifice

hm. Actually, speaking of expertise... gonna keep you around just a bit longer in the secondary weapon slot

[nocturne siren]

Carry it as a trophy to remind everyone that it took the devs twice to properly give out a reward for Veterans

Unlike just making it a mailbox thing anyways

[silent estuary]

my lexis are level 40, actually these are just a few random items I picked up like a level 32 Rock and Roll

I don't DZ except when leveling an alt so I'm not sure how long before I'll see another Rock and Roll again. Gonna keep it around to expertise it

[nocturne siren]

Danny sold me my R&R

I main it on my DZ heartbreaker build

[silent estuary]

gotta open those apparel caches, damn

[silent estuary]

hey so, need to do some Black Tusk activities for the weekly, right - so
I log into my main, BT activities everywhere in the invaded regions. Like literally every one of them are BT activities
I log into my alt, zero BT activities. Reset CPs, nothing. Repeat x10, nothing.
Is there some progression I need to do? Do I need to kill Keener for the BT to start having activities, or what?

the alts are start-boosted to level 30 and start in WONY. Did I mess up? Should I have started at level 1 and manually boosted at the white house instead of start-boosting?

[rugged stratus]

try bounties

[silent estuary]

zero BT bounties

there's like, 3 bounties on the whole map

[rugged stratus]

oh damn

[silent estuary]

come to think of it, there's hardly any actual activities for any faction... like 1 or 2 on the whole of DC

big old empty map....

[rugged stratus]

probably just need time to repopulate, i would log and check after

[silent estuary]

oh it populates in real time? did not realize

character is just a day old - maybe it actually needs days to populate

[rugged stratus]

im not 100 on it, but i know it takes a bit sometimes if everything has been cleared for me

you have another alt to put through the projects?

[silent estuary]

just checked my oldest alt, which is about 5 days old... a few more activities, but 0 black tusk
