reset the map multiple times, still - nothing

went to main, check map - BT activities everywhere. Reset, reroll a whole new map - new set of BT activities everywhere

the alts are right borked

I cannot understand what happened

maybe there's some flag that checks if the main campaign was actually completed before it will allow BT to show up

and if BT doesn't show then it blocks the spawn of other activities somehow. So my DC is empty

[alpine granite]

um im so confused i paired with this dude doesnt anyone know or can eyeball to see if hes cheating, he said his ping is fine but the dude was moonwalking and shooting like that

that isnt normal at all

[silent estuary]

hmmm I have a theory - maybe the spawn system doesn't know it's invaded if the character was created after the invasion tick

so it will be fine next week and this week I just need to be ok with no BT activities

the map is behaving very much like I have already cleared the invasion. I bet that's what the spawn system "thinks" is the case right now

[maiden cedar]

not gonna lie i fumbled the lexington there both level 1 is there a way to level them up to 40 or am i just boned

[pseudo tundra]

No way to level them up

[cedar stag]

Can you craft brand sets at all as a level 30 anymore?

Can't at my current bench level on this character, and not sure how to upgrade it

[silent estuary]

high end only unlocks at level 40. I actually have char right now that doesn't have it unlocked, let me verify that I can't craft gearsets

hmm looks like I can craft gear sets on a Superior bench

[cedar stag]

How do you make a superior bench?

Does the character need to be 40 or can you get it at 30

[silent estuary]

level 30 max is superior (purple gear). Level 40 unlocks high end (yellow gear)

I think gear sets can be crafted on a purple bench, but you need to be level 40 is my theory

[cedar stag]

Lmfao thats so bad. Just deleted all of my 29 gear sets as well

[silent estuary]

no reason to keep them, they're worthless right

[cedar stag]

Eh depends. I usually run a 29 headhunter raid build with regulus in dz if I don't have a carry to 40

But wanted to throw together an fi build for when I get carried

[silent estuary]

why 29 specifically? curious

[cedar stag]

Kinda weird, when they got rid of the old 30 characters it dropped everything you had to 29

[silent estuary]

wow artifact of history, interesting

[cedar stag]

Meta for farming dz/self carrying was to have a good 30 build for ny runs

[silent estuary]

so you deconstructed some one of a kind never-to-be-craftable again relics that were actually 30 but dropped to 29

[cedar stag]

Yep thinking they were useless 🙂

Which, they kind of are

[silent estuary]

irreplaceable doesn't mean priceless 😆

[cedar stag]

Lol unlucky

[bitter mango]

if I have 7 charges on a revive hive, how come all 7 of them disappear the moment I get downed myself and get revived?

[inner tendon]

Think of it like a punishment for not putting it down before you were downed.

If it helps, you're probably going to stop using it soon anyway. Even in a group setting, most regular missions don't bother with a Reviver Hive, preferring instead to focus on things that stop people from dying in the first place. Either by keeping them upright, or making enemies die faster.

Shout out to the Jammer Pulse, and how useful it is to disable electronics in a big radius.

[bitter mango]

so if i put it down before I get downed I get all 7 charges?

[rugged stratus]

if you are rolling around with 7 revive charges, you have too many skill tiers to waste on a revive. just do damage skills and get more out of the build

[mellow trout]

The only time you'd ever have 7 charges normally is if someone is running datagloves

[rugged stratus]

never a need for that tho. if its skilltiers they would be better off running medic and keep team alive and buff, or use damage skills and actually contribute to the group. 7 charge revive on a dps build means no damage output

[bitter mango]

How do I get ouroboros?

[rugged stratus]

incursion. once a week from the cache, 1% chance drop on bosses, no limit

[bitter mango]

any difficulty?

[rugged stratus]

only 1 diff afaik

a solid group would probably drop one for you if they know youre looking for it

[bitter mango]

Do I just matchmake and hope it works out?

[tough marsh]

No

[bitter mango]

Can I farm the ninjabike backpack from spamming backpack targetted loot

[sudden matrix]

Yes. Wouldn't recommend that backpack but hopefully you'll get a memento first and use that.

[nimble spruce]

If it revives you it uses all charges, if it revives someone else it uses only one charge

[warm scaffold]

hello, i sent a ticket to support as i didnt get the veteran gold award despite logging into division 1 in 2018. i sent the ticket last week but still no response from them. should i send another?

note: i didnt get the veteran bronze reward either

[deep raven]

You can't get it anymore

It was a limited time event

[cedar yacht]

Vet reward was for playing before a certain date on d2 not d1…

[bitter mango]

Is it better to get the blueprints for exotics AFTER you get all the other weapons of that category? Eg chatterbox after I get backfire, lady death etc

[mellow trout]

Either or

Doesn't really affect anything

[elfin scaffold]

why is Umbra Initiative considered sub-par? This set kicks ass

[mellow trout]

It's a good set the buff is just more annoying to manage than say striker

[jolly shale]

Ninjabike messanger bag Exotic can be gotten from Countdown right?

[pseudo tundra]

y

[jolly shale]

Guess i'm just very unlucky then.

[coral surge]

Hi everyone, I'm using umbra initiative gear set and everytime I fast travel I have to unequip and equip one piece from the gear from the set to make it work, is there a permanent fix for this?

[shell matrix]

not just me going several hours with out it dropping 😦

[jolly shale]

2x Acosta and 3x Memento.. myself and yet not the ninjabike one.. Very annoying

[gray mason]

Sadly this bug has been there for a while now. Hopefully one day the Devs will fix it 🫤

[coral surge]

ah ok thx

[shell matrix]

what lvl of countdown are you running?

[jolly shale]

Heroic

[fossil drift]

OK I have a friend on PS5 who invited me to play and I am on PC. How can we join together?

oopps t5his is Division not Division 2

[rugged stratus]

no crossplay either way

[fossil drift]

disappointing .. after I bought the game

[rugged stratus]

probably shoulda been checked before purchasing if its a dealbreaker

Does anyone have issue with dye in back pack? after I dye my backpack and remove it, It won't remove. It won't come back to default color.

@brittle gulch are you using a backpack appearance through inventory screen, or one of the non-gear backpack appearance thats applied through the apparel screen?

dyes are applied to the actual backpack in inventory screen, so may remain static if youre just changing its appearance mod through apparel menu. its a funky interaction, itll be worth removing the dye from the actual backpack and saving the loadout to see if that helps.

[alpine granite]

Ninjabike pairs well with alot of pvp builds though

[silent estuary]

Is 5.11 generally considered junk? I got a max roll with attributes that I have no idea what to do with. Feels like junk.

[alpine granite]

Reroll health for Hazzard protect and u can make a backfire build ngl

Backfire inflicts bleed to you with Hazzard protection you can negate that effect

5.51 is pretty useless but it's fun to use

[wary spoke]

If I make a new character during the 5x XP event, will it boost me or will I not have access to the event until I get the watch?

[silent estuary]

need to be level 40

[wary spoke]

Thx!

I just started an alt character and boosted it to 30. Trying to reconfigure a spare memento to use on the journey to 40. How do I upgrade the crafting bench so I can do so?

[silent estuary]

need to be level 40 (again) lol

[wary spoke]

So how do I reconfigure it to 30?

[silent estuary]

oh you mean the exotic

idk never downleveled an exotic before

[wary spoke]

Dang

[silent estuary]

wouldn't be surprised if you can't reconfigure exotics until level 40, but icbw

[wary spoke]

It looks like you're right. The devs seem to have removed the ability to downlevel exotics.

[silent estuary]

those devilish devs!

[minor flicker]

wrong

its not useless at all

[alpine granite]

The only passive useful coming from 5.51 is Hazzard protection

And that's a 3 piece set anyhow

[rugged stratus]

yeah, its junk

good for library attributes tho

[rugged stratus]

there is nowhere you could put this and not be outclassed by another set... seems pretty useless, ngl 👴

[minor flicker]

bro never heard of the IH raid

Tank/ hazard build

[rugged stratus]

nope, never

very niche use

[minor flicker]

looks like it

[minor flicker]

ever heard of a 100% hazard build?

IH raid? Where you need hazard?

[alpine granite]

Yeah I'm more than aware, running hazard res on something like strikers would benefit better

[rugged stratus]

you dont really need 5.11 for hazard build

[minor flicker]

never said you do

But ive seen people use it

[wispy merlin]

.

[minor flicker]

So its not useless

[wispy merlin]

it has literally no use because some other set outclasses it

[minor flicker]

still not useless

[rugged stratus]

so chances are something else outclasses it, no?

[wispy merlin]

you can even say the set gives health which increases your survivability which makes it useful

[minor flicker]

doesnt matter if another class outclasses it

[wispy merlin]

which makes your bar extremely low

[minor flicker]

ive never said that other sets dont outclass it

Just that it isnt ,,useless“ as mentioned above

[rugged stratus]

it does if you were challenging the statement i made about it.

which was specific

[minor flicker]

boy oh boy. Its like talking to a wall

[rugged stratus]

[wispy merlin]

likewise

[alpine granite]

5.51 isn't useless but it's useless, it's fun to use but that's all it's for

[silent estuary]

ok so let me get this straight - the 5.11 hazpro isn't that useful since the first two aren't good properties and you can get enough hazpro from secondaries anyway - is this right?

[rugged stratus]

basically

[wispy merlin]

you can get 10% hazpro on brands and attributes, but you can only get % regen from brands

[alpine granite]

Health and incoming repairs isn't worth it for the 3 piece just for hazard resist when you can re roll it on other pieces of gear that would benefit it more

[wispy merlin]

so you're better off getting % regen from brands (so ditching 5.11) and putting hazpro on attributes instead

and you need both for IH hazard

[alpine granite]

Backfire strikers build is looking spicy though

[rugged stratus]

better add ninja bike if you want to squeeze in that 3rd 5.11😎

ill see myself out

[alpine granite]

Yeah i was thinking about that as well that's the only way I can see making it work

💀

[rugged stratus]

2 ceska fits much better

[alpine granite]

4 piece strikers, ceska chest and bag

[rugged stratus]

but i think its been determined you dont really need the hazpro for bf. you just need to maintain max stacks after a couple bleeds

keeping max stacks shuts off the bleed mechanic

[alpine granite]

Shuts it off but the damage the backfire does well makes up for it

For pve that is

[rugged stratus]

ofc, the bleed thing isnt new tho. before all the buffing that happened, your bleed was determined by the difference in stacks from your last reload to the current. thats why at max stacks you wont bleed. the fact that it went from 4 mags to max, down to 2 mags to max is the real gamechanger with it

[brittle gulch]

I used the on non-gear backpack appearance, used LED Backpack.
I already removed the dye from the actual backpack and saved the loadout.. but still. it won't save and
Actually, I googled it and one of redditter already posted The Division 2 issue. and they already aware of this issue.
I just want to one of you have the solution of this..

[spring moss]

hey guys does anyone know why when i click a priority objective to complete for an exotic item, i teleport to closes safe house to go do it but then the reward changes from exotic item to something else and i cant abandon for an hour

[silent estuary]

what do you mean "something else". What does it change to exactly? Mine changes to "Equipment item" and when I finish it I get an exotic.

[spring moss]

yeah it says equipment item where it used to say exotic item, and when i finish mission i dont get an exotic

[tough marsh]

Just a visual bug, you will still receive an exotic item at completion

[wispy merlin]

equipment item is the exotic

[spring moss]

maybe i just clicked wrong the first time then, will try now and see, btw it says clear 2 broadcasts but what if theyre no broadcasts on the map to do?

[wispy merlin]

broadcasts are among the most common activities

[silent estuary]

You can either:

1. Wait a few minutes for more events to populate on the map (5-10 minutes will probably do it)
2. Reroll the map (reset CPs or change difficulty) to reroll your events

[spring moss]

got it thankyou

[rugged stratus]

Have you removed the non gear appearance and saved appearance loadout. Before this season the non gear appearance items were "sticky" and wouldn't be removed when changing bag. Even applying over exotic bags. I feel like this is just another symptom of that issue.

At least they are aware tho so hopfully gets corrected

[rain nova]

Why should I buy at nsa station

[pseudo tundra]

vindicator exotic is exclusive to there, so thats an investment

[autumn plover]

Got the division 2 first time in a while for the seaonal stuff.
idk wher the marker wants me to go LOL.
prob dumb but I am confused since they are not showing me a marker out of the map.
anyone know where I need to in the white house?

[daring wren]

“Find more about the program” is regarding talking to Wally by Descent entrance at Castle settlement

[autumn plover]

weird I already played descent before .. but ok. thanks

[daring wren]

why the marker is at WH I don’t know

[autumn plover]

yeah thats why im confused LOL

[daring wren]

It’s a trap

😎

[autumn plover]

welp I hope the devs put more effort in division 3 LOL

[cedar stag]

Anyone know of meta haz pro healer for countdown?

Probably same for pvp

[slim elk]

haz pro healer? Just use the regular Healer build
also #td2-build-advice

[fathom agate]

Yo guys

where are the last two found footages?

I can't seem to locate.

[mellow trout]

There's hazpro healers in PvP but not in pve

[cedar stag]

Works the same just obv not as op as fi. Ive got it just unsaved the build and wondering if new meta nvm

Haz pro healer is only relevant heals for countdown otherwise u just get jammed, same as foaming. Even then, healer in countdown is trolling but thats besides the point

[mellow trout]

Eclipse has innate hazpro so people use that for disrupt immune cc builds in countdown

[cedar stag]

Ik

[mellow trout]

But never seen a hazpro healer in cd

If anything just run red fi

[surreal stirrup]

I’m a returning player I’m trying to get back into the game. I beat the campaigns and dlc I was wondering if someone could help me out I’m on psn Rayboy7west313

[flint phoenix]

Help with incursion. Anyone?

[alpine granite]

does the status effects attribute affect the backfire by any chance?

i got a god rolled firm handshake i wanna implment into the build

[sudden matrix]

Backfire? That doesn't inflict a status on enemies.

[alpine granite]

im taking about the self bleed dude

im still working on the build

[sudden matrix]

Just no.

[nocturne siren]

You need hazard protection, not status effects

Also, firm handshakes are useless gloves. Only use i see is for the status effects from Ouroboros in PVP or Status Effects focused builds in PvP

(ask me how I know)

[sudden matrix]

Let them cook

[nocturne siren]

👀 let's see the build

[alpine granite]

trying to put it together

only issue is credits im running through them so fast rn

[nocturne siren]

https://mxswat.github.io/mx-division-builds/

There's a cool build tool the community put together. Still getting updates, slowly but surely

[cedar stag]

Just run all crit and play with a healer

[alpine granite]

im playing solo

no can do

[cedar stag]

Then you may need to use haz pro, never used it solo so im sure someone here can steer u right

[alpine granite]

all i need is a face and glove cavalier for the 30% hazard res and i think i got the build up

[mellow trout]

Once it's at max stacks it stops bleeding you so if you're brave you can ditch the hazpro even

[cedar stag]

https://youtu.be/SDOFa8IeJYA?si=1l8zLl1ttm8cBKdL haven't watched this, but you might get some good info/ideas from this

[alpine granite]

im running strikers chest and bag on top of it as well

[rugged stratus]

you would probably just run tech class for faraday. itll be hard to get immune with healer build, but you can kindof anticipate when youll be disrupted.

ive had a lot of luck just running hazpro cc, build pinned in the sheet. i figure you wont need to heal anyone if you have all npcs foamed/burning/disrupted , depending on loadout. hell, could run riot foam and heal hive tbh.

you may be able to flex cavalier into a healer role, im not sure if its viable tho.

[mellow trout]

You underestimate the sheer ignorance of randoms

[crude island]

Anyone else having issues with the Kelso stranded tanker mission. My husband and I keep getting kicked off the server every time we try to play it. Everything else works fine.

[alpine granite]

theres the idea of the build im going for

[brazen flume]

Anyone have any tips for obtaining the Eagle Bearer?

[alpine granite]

dark hours raid

[brazen flume]

Thanks

[alpine granite]

or a 1% chance in dz with assault rifle allocation

[brazen flume]

Okay, thanks for the help

[nocturne siren]

Why not just run ceska chest with crit chance and haz pro and take a second ceska piece with crit damage and hazpro? Then get another hazpro bonus with double Ceska. You'll gain 2 free attributes, MORE hazpro than cavalier can and take some red attributes. You'll even gain more damage too

Lemme check the numbers first hang on

[barren maple]

It could go this way but this is for PVP nvm. Casual shot out to Prodigy for his PVP Build Guide

[alpine granite]

im already at 60% crit chance pretty much

the crit damage sounds nice

i might grab that

but i wanna keep that 200 stacks with striker

[barren maple]

The PVP Guide also has other ones

[nocturne siren]

All your damage comes from crits and since you're relying on backfire for damage and striker to stack too, I highly suggest getting awfully familiar to needing 60% on that build. I run mine as umbra instead with armor. I can meet striker numbers quicker if I remove the blue cores 😂

[alpine granite]

ive tried umbra it just doesnt fit me

[nocturne siren]

I chose to go 100 bleed and 70 haz pro. I don't necessarily need the 100 hazpro. Bleed resis is enough. 70 is basically half a tick second

[alpine granite]

i just dont like it

but different builds different playstyles

[rugged stratus]

this doesnt mean you cant adjust attributes around to accomodate 2 ceska pieces. gaining an extra attribute while not losing anything is pretty solid

[alpine granite]

im at 58.8 crit chance im just needing better mods to be added so ill focus on pve

[alpine granite]

yeah u are right tbh im gonna grab some ceska

[rugged stratus]

youll find a couple builds like that where you think you need grupo, but its the ceska piece that allows you to stack more chd. its piecing all those puzzle pieces together just the right way

[cedar stag]

Been running the haz pro cc for a couple years now since you first put me onto it. Was pretty much trying to run something different for a change, but yeah foam is so much more reliable

[teal hinge]

The one time i somehow got american servers in countdown got 4 exotics.... asai servers super rare

[lilac peak]

what is a 'mule' ? is it essentially just a new character ?

[slim elk]

A character whose only purpose is to have unlimited materials, extra projects and a key for the incursion if you don't have it in your main.

[tiny stump]

i've been doing priority objectives only for the ones that reward an exotic. i got at least 15 in about an hour

[rugged stratus]

i cant argue with that
maybe look into cavalier, either as a full set , or a 2pc added to an fi build. cav has hazpro and repair skills built into its 2/3 piece. could possibly even be a ninja build🥷
🤔

[placid glade]

A mix between a donkey and horse (please don’t make hang me on a tree)

[brittle gulch]

Could you please explain and describe more detail by step by step?
I am new and doesn't understand what you are trying to explain. or image would be great.

[rugged stratus]

ok, give me a min, ill grab a screenshot and explain

[rugged stratus]

prior to this season you could only modify appearance and dye in the regular inventory screen (right side, chest screenshot). you would need to save your loadout in the regular inventory screen along with the rest of your build. there was an issue prior to this season where a non-gear appearance would stick on the agent regardless of changing loadout/appearance.

with the recent changes this season, they fixed that specific 'sticky appearance mod' issue by having a separate section where you can apply non-gear appearance mods. this is left side screenshot, apparel tab.

the suggestion was to remove any non-gear appearance mods equipped on the apparel screen and save that apparel loadout.

after that double check the inventory screen and remove dye and appearance mods. if they are still empty just save the loadout again. then relog.

i have a hunch what you are seeing is a remnant of that old sticky appearance bug. im not 100 tho, and without it happening on my end i cant dig in further. hopefully this was less confusing 😅

[slim elk]

omg localdeck's agent looks good

[rugged stratus]

surprising 😂

[fathom agate]

Anyone know where the last two found footages are?
I can't seem to locate.

[nocturne siren]

You gave me ideas for a pvp build thank you 🤠🤠

[rugged stratus]

nice 🍻

[charred mulch]

since 3 days i need to complete warhound convoys for my prio. objectiv. but i cant find any. my map is still invaded. is there a trick?

[rugged stratus]

yeah, abandon the prio and reroll a different one. only accept short duration missions from open world category, med and long are always something really stupid.

any mission prio obj you cant get completed in an hour should be rerolled regardless

[charred mulch]

yes but i wanted that exotic item ..

[coral surge]

Is the backpak gonna be always the summit and powerplant?

[bitter mango]

How often grand Washington hotel become invaded?

[inner tendon]

@bitter mango It's entirely random when it happens, it could be a week between, or it could be 7.
@coral surge If you're asking if Countdown and/or Summit is the best way to farm Backpacks via TL (targeted loot), then the answer is pretty much: yes.

[coral surge]

ah ok ty ty

[coral surge]

What is a minimum good number for armor regen?

[spring moss]

hi guys can anyone help me? it says complete coney island main mission but i cant find it

[nimble spruce]

Coney island has a side mission you have to do first to unlock the safehouse, then two main missions will appear (ballpark and amusement park). In DC, look to the north of the main map, it's off-site similar to manning zoo and pentagon

[spring moss]

aaah i see ty 🙂

[nimble spruce]

Depends on the build you're going for. 0 regen is perfectly fine in many cases, and if you run the 'no regen' directive then you're not losing much.
If you want a high armour, high regen build then go for %-based regen, like memento, belstone, emperor's guards, etc. Fixed-value regen like most minor stats is too low to be of use.

[coral surge]

ah thx thx

just curios is there a blue mod that is armor regen?

[nimble spruce]

Nope

Protection from elites is the best damage-mitigating blue mod

[coral surge]

ty ty

[rain nova]

Should I buy a reconstructed cache or vindicator

[twin swallow]

so me and two friends started a clan but it looks like we need 4 people to start leveling it. Does this mean we just need someone to join and then they can leave or do they need to stay permanently?

[junior dock]

Am I able to optimize every single Attribute on a gear piece? Or just one?

[wispy merlin]

every

[junior dock]

thx

[cosmic delta]

Got this on my first run on the incursion with my mates :))

Got told it was a very small chance to get it on the first run but ig I used all my RNG lol

[gray mason]

Yup, no more exotics for you 🤭

[cosmic delta]

Fr

[brittle gulch]

I tried removed dye and saved the loadout.. and relog.. still it loaded it out with the dye.
well Thank you @rugged stratus , I will have to re-report to the Division team for this issue.

Thank you all.

[daring wren]

Ouro on first try? That’s 🍀

[cosmic delta]

That’s what they were sayin

At first when I saw the red I didn’t think much thinking it was another exotic like an AR or LMG and when I walked up to it, it was the oro and I celebrated and they were happy and amazed with that luck

Now I just need the EB and rav and I’m done with all the exotics

[alpine granite]

@rugged stratus you were right

its not optimized yet but those extra perks really makes the difference

[rugged stratus]

No doubt. That's why you abandon objective.
Gotta look at it from a different angle.
Those will give an option to get an exo a lot. If the current objective has taken 3 days, then it's like 3 days missing any other objective. how many objectives could you have completed in that time? Abandon gives another opportunity right away.

[rugged stratus]

Thanks for testing the giving feedback. Hopfully they get it sorted

[rugged stratus]

Nice, glad it helped.
Theory crafting builds is one of the best aspects of td2, Imho 🍻

[deep raven]

What would be the best way to obtain the matador backpack? Countdown to farm named item crates, or the dz? Also, does the dz are have to be targeted backpack loot for the matador to drop?

[nocturne siren]

Remember when I recommended double Ceska the other day? 😂

Glad to come back and see your build hitting much harder 🔥🔥

[nocturne siren]

Matador has a chance to drop in any DZ regardless of targeted loot. Can just run 4 PC striker rolled to armor + crits and use memento to survive getting jumped by rogues

If you're looking to avoid pvp entirely, just keep buying named Item caches

[deep raven]

Does it only drop from dz drops or do npcs drop it as well?

[nocturne siren]

Alternatively, it goes on sale frequently in the dz's vendors. Farm landmarks, deconstruct deco gear, and then exfil the dz creds

[nocturne siren]

NPCs can drop it as well

[deep raven]

Thank you very much for the response!

[nocturne siren]

Be aware, dark zone is a PvP zone. Your loot can get hijacked at any point. Be prepared to possibly lose stuff you pick up. Come build ready when you go in DZ

[deep raven]

Yeah, I know. I lost my first st elmos to rogues in the darkzone

[nocturne siren]

Yeeee but luckily it wasn't the eagle bearer lol

[deep raven]

Would have deinstalled. Hope you aren't speaking from experience

[nocturne siren]

I stole someone's ravenous a few weeks ago... 😂

[deep raven]

You are evil

[alpine granite]

yeah i remb u were right as well

i have optimizing but after im done i should be at 100% hazard pro

[nocturne siren]

Was during holiday season too 😂💀

[nocturne siren]

40 from ceska (20 from 2 pc bonus, 10 each attribute) and then another 40 plus 10 from the watch makes you 90 hazpro across the board

Unless my math is wrong

[alpine granite]

im hitting 100% once im done optimizing

does anyone know the cheatengine dude that just plays conflict?

blk clan

[nocturne siren]

Run into them all the time. BLK is a pretty big cheater clan

[nocturne siren]

https://mxswat.github.io/mx-division-builds/#/OwWgbCBMIIwqAGESXLajAuAzNCS5oAOODdcrATinFhoBZ6LmyFMjaCXvXNJr8dVjwp8BaUiOEo+9Dk0rUYAViVg4MMATDRe0qZn1HMYQ1ORmjyIA

Do note build tool is slightly out of date. All you need to know is ceska 2pc hazpro bonus is now 20% instead of 10%.

Mask - 10%
Chest - 10%
Holster - 10%
Backpack - 10%
Gloves - 10%
Kneepads - 10%
Keener Watch - 10%
2 pc ceska - 20%

60+10+20 = 90% Hazpro. Requiring the use of 1 bleed resistance mod to completely be bleed immune

[deep raven]

Merry Christmas

[nocturne siren]

The only possible way to get 100% hazpro is to take 2 pc cavalier but you lose alot of crit chance for that

[nocturne siren]

Gave it to my low SHD buddy, he was so happy

[deep raven]

Take from the rich and give to the poor. Such a wholesome story 😌

[nocturne siren]

Well, see, he wasn't happy I stole it...

[deep raven]

Had no problems accepting the gift

[alpine granite]

yeah i am more than aware now that dude was hitting straight headshots while i was strafing

[nocturne siren]

I meant the guy I stole it from 😭

[nocturne siren]

I don't play conflict late in the day because BLK runs then

DZ is where real pvp is at

[twin swallow]

how does one get challenge level 30 rewards in teh summit? If the floors and everythign reset at 100 how to get you get 30 challenges done during 100 floors?

[wispy merlin]

you can just do them on normal difficulty to make them easier to complete

[wanton stratus]

Hey yall coming back to the game from a years yes off. Gonna start a new 30 whats the recommended grind to 40 right now

[twin swallow]

am I right in that 30 have to be complete within the same 100 floors or can you reset?

[narrow kraken]

If you reset your challenges reset too

[wispy merlin]

within the same 100 floors but they are so long you have to be playing on heroic or higher for some of the challenges to be too hard to complete

you can change the challenges to the next ones once you complete them so it's not like they're hard

[summer cipher]

so i wanted to get the hunter stuff out of the way for DC and new york as i have not done them yet so i got the two keys needed and turned on the generators and pulled the lever but then when i went to press the button to summon the hunters nothing happend...the button that i was suppost to press did not give me the promt and i cant collect the keys anymore

[wispy merlin]

solo: dz landmarks

group with a lv40 veteran: ask them to let you join a 5 directive heroic invaded mission, near the end they invite you so that you get the full xp and then they repeat until you're 40

[wispy merlin]

was it past 5am?

[summer cipher]

im...not sure

the sun came up soon after

when i went to try and get the key again

[wispy merlin]

well that's one of the night time puzzles that have to be completed within 9pm-5am

you can always press ESC to check the time

[twilit mural]

hey guys I just purchased the game, and I get a lot of lag or stuttering. Like the character will move then stop. Sometimes not even move at all. is there any fix for this?

[summer cipher]

that makes sense

[wispy merlin]

you've been following a guide for that?

[summer cipher]

i have that issue when i tab out and then tab back in but its only been for like a second

[summer cipher]

yeah i never did the hunters

not only cause i was bad but i was so focused on other things i never did it

[wispy merlin]

yeah pay attention when the guide tells you to do them only at night time. some of them don't require it but most do

[summer cipher]

got it

[wispy merlin]

a decent guide would have that info

pay attention to in game time. if it's 9pm you should be starting them

[tough marsh]

If it's 3 am you should bedge

[rain nova]

Is there a descent skill tier list

[still dragon]

Anyone know why my magazine ammo randomly gets reduced? Seems to only happen when playing countdown and still have the issue in DC

[pseudo tundra]

Check your modifiers

[still dragon]

ah you'd be right sir thx

[summer cipher]

yeah its just not working

i collected the keys did the thing and its just not letting me do it

OH nvm

i missed a lever

alright wish me luck

[junior dock]

I tried to get the chatterbox blueprint from the Bank headquarters mission, I got all the pieces, found the keycard, opened the little room, and the hyena box wasn’t interactable. Any way I could fix this?

[rugged stratus]

wait for daily reset and run it again. it should refresh daily

[junior dock]

Okay will try 👍

[summer cipher]

sooo....fun fact even though im level 181 and on normal they hit me with a SINGLE skill nuking all my armor and almost all my heath and killed me and sense the sun is up i have to now wait again...im tweaking out

[wispy merlin]

you got shock trap yet?

[summer cipher]

iii think so im running cluster mines with a restoreer hive

i wish i could have my dv1 build the pulse so i could get extra damage and crit chance with roller mines

shit was fun to use

[wispy merlin]

yeah just use a weapon damage build

don't use skills against them

shock trap their spawn so they're shocked when they appear

[summer cipher]

this is what im running rn in terms of guns and armor im running a bleed/blind build

my chest peice applies blind to an enemy hit in the head and when i hit them in the chest they are affected by bleed damage

and my backpack if i apply a status affect it also applies to any target within 10m of them

[thorn hedge]

what is the week 6 second goal

[rugged stratus]

this build wont be super effective for hunters or harder content.
ezpz way to build would be 4pc striker, ceska, grupo or coyote mask, oblit chest/striker bag for a safe version.

there is a build guides spreadsheet pinned in #td2-build-advice .

[lilac peak]

hated this about this grind

[summer cipher]

idk why but i have a harder time reading stats in the division 2 than the first game there is just so much extra shit to read

[thorn hedge]

the strats are significantly more straightforward

[summer cipher]

i was super proud of my build when i made it thought i was super smart

[rugged stratus]

no doubt. youll run a lot of the same items in multiple builds, so it will get easier. its definitely a little overwhelming at first

[summer cipher]

ill look into my stash and see if i have any striker stuff i might have the full set i dont remember

[rugged stratus]

really eassy to farm if you dont

[summer cipher]

all i have is a striker holster

[junior dock]

Run countdown?

[summer cipher]

i think i cleared alot of the stuff out when i first came back into the game

[thorn hedge]

what is the week 6 second goal

[rugged stratus]

dont trash anything, could be useful in other builds. for example, that bag doesnt fit into a dps build, but you understand what it does. it fits really well into a status build like eclipse protocol where status spreads on kill, creeping can further spread the status so there is synergy there

[silent estuary]

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

[summer cipher]

i legit for the life of me despite being on normal can not kill these hunters they just melt me instantly

its so unfair

[mellow trout]

Use Scorpio and it's free as hell

Or come with an Elmo with shock ammo loaded

[summer cipher]

i dont know what that is so i prob dont have it

i legit killed one and then a turrent that i could not see just was behind me and melted me instantly

and then the second time they came out shot me from 30 yards away broke my armor from that far away in 6 shots then another turret that i could not see just finished me off

[blazing timber]

Use Foam and shock trap

[summer cipher]

its frustrating tf outta me

alright i have the foam and shock trap

its more annoying at the fact when i fail i have to collect the keys again

[mellow trout]

You can try to do the simpler ones first to get the hang of it

Unless you're doing the new York ones in which case it's cooked

[inner tendon]

It should be noted that a good chunk of the "WONY Hunters" are actually in DC too.

Hunter Puzzles are not meant to be things that you speed-run in a day or two, you can absolutely be justified in taking months to get them done. After all, they've been around in some form or other, for over 4 years by this point.

[summer cipher]

this worked i got one of many done

[woven quiver]

When slotting gear mods can I use the same gear mod but in different builds and save them to my build shortcuts? Or will I have to manually re-slot them back and forth between builds?

[slim elk]

If you save a loadout with that mod, it'll stay there. Now, if you make another loadout with the same mods, it'll say that that mod is already in a gear piece and may be removed to apply to another. This action doesn't affect the first loadout, it'll transfer the mods to the second when you equip the loadout again.
Hope I made myself clear

[woven quiver]

Ok ty!

[summer cipher]

i have done three hunters so far

[pearl pasture]

Whatever you do don't miss the masks. I missed 2 and have no idea what hunters i missed. Got all the keys though.

[blazing timber]

Happy to help

[pearl pasture]

Also similar idea: st elmos and pre stack the shock bullets or even scorpio. Works well too 👍

[past wolf]

What should I do with these duplicate exotics?

[delicate mountain]

duplicates should be disassembled, the components will be needed for pumping expertise

[slim elk]

or recalibration/rerolling.

[past wolf]

👌👌👌

[silent estuary]

anything you might want to reconfigure you should keep two of so you can hold on to the better one while you reroll the other

[past wolf]

Sweet only thing I would think of is St elmos but I dont have 2 of them yet

[silent estuary]

that said, I always persuade myself I need two of something and end up with two less stash space forever for no reason, because most exotics suck

[past wolf]

tbf I only really use the stash for gear sets and exotics and I dont think ill be getting anywhere near the 300 cap lol

[junior sequoia]

In which map?

[junior sequoia]

Send them to oblivion

[past wolf]

Cast them into FIRE!

[spring moss]

hey guys is it better to steal dz crate or loot it? i dont understand the difference

[nimble spruce]

Iirc looting it normally uses a dz key, stealing doesn't but toggles you rogue.

[nocturne siren]

If it's a dz drop, loot it. If it's a crate, honestly just use keys if people are around. If nobody is around (check "Social" tab in game, look at "Nearby" section. If a player is near, it'll tell you), go ahead and steal it

[rugged stratus]

check your mask walls against this if you want to know

[pseudo tundra]

i still have to ifnish like 3 NY hunters

[mellow trout]

I was lucky enough to join a buddy as he was doing them so it was 20 times easier

[spring moss]

thats a sick idea thankyou

I was also wondering guys what is weapon handling and what is stability? like i use a lmg so which one would suit me better?

[mellow trout]

Handling is accuracy, stability and reload speed put together

[spring moss]

so i always want handling?

[mellow trout]

stability is recoil

[spring moss]

aaaah i understnad thankyou

[sudden matrix]

Stability is idle sway too.

Oh and there is the recoil bug.

[spring moss]

oh wait for an lmg im assuming i want stability in that case?

[sudden matrix]

Stability will reduce vertical recoil but does nothing for side to side recoil.

[mellow trout]

theres a bug with recoil?

[spring moss]

what will help me focus or make me more accurate when zooming in with the lmg?

like initially

as soon as i zoom?

[sudden matrix]

Funniest on the D50 cause it just goes zoop sideways everytime you shoot.

[spring moss]

i think i can handle the recoil

[sudden matrix]

LMGs get more stable/accurate as you shoot them anyway.

[spring moss]

also guys when i lvl up an item with expertise, do i lvl that item? like if i get a better version of it will i still have expertise?

[gray mason]

If you mean the expertise rank of an item, then yes. If you mean the upgrade, then no.

[sudden matrix]

Expertise is applied to a specific item and only that item.

[spring moss]

oke i understand expertise now, but ive never heard of upgrade?

[sudden matrix]

#ask-td2-community message

I'd give that a read as it might help a bit.

There are other pinned messages in this channel worth reading thru too.

[gray mason]

Once you are rank 10 with an item, you can upgrade it

[spring moss]

oh so you use expertise to max item stats, like this for example?

[sudden matrix]

No, that's optimization/recalibration.

[gray mason]

Sorry, I mix up proficiency and expertise (don't answer questions when you are not fully awake. Write that down)

[thorn hedge]

im never fully awake 👍

[sudden matrix]

You should read thru the pinned messages in this channel real quick as it'll clear up a ton of these questions.

[spring moss]

got it will have a read through now ty

[gray mason]

Btw, how was your raid? 😁

[thorn hedge]

i made a raid

hence its mine (not yours)

[somber pumice]

Is there any penalty for not clearing the Warlords of New York DLC? One of my friends is below level 40 and we've noticed he consistently gets less EXP on mission clears/activities than we do while going around DC

[sudden matrix]

That is just sub level 40 xp scaling.

[somber pumice]

ah gotcha, thank you was wondering why he got so much less. We'll just have to get more stuff done then

[sudden matrix]

If you are leveling someone from 30-40 Invaded missions on heroic with 5 directives only takes 6 boss rooms(just invite the low level when you get to boss room).

[silent estuary]

is there a table of optimization costs?

[rugged stratus]

I dont think so. It's expensive tho. You can look to see in tinkering. Be weary tho, it has specific increments it will improve per cost. If an attribute is partially to the next increment, it will show only partial costs.

Unless you are overflowing with shd, you'll only want to optimize a step or 2... unicorns warrant a few optimization because of how rare they are. Regular items it's best to farm a better piece and only optimize as a last resort

[silent estuary]

ok thanks

btw crafted items have Normal rolls? So my The Setup blueprint is basically useless right?

I just made one... holy low rolls batman

given the costs of optimization this is lightyears away from a piece for keeping

[delicate mountain]

random, there was a mistake at one time-which allowed us to craft 100% of things, alas, not now)

The best thing is to play countdown mode,crafting is very random.

[rugged stratus]

Setup bag for future initiative, and also my cc eclipse build represents a unicorn. Blue core makes it have higher chance of blue rolls.
Not so bad if you use tech class, but normally with fi/ep you'll use survivalist so you want the skill tier able to roll on it.
Still craft a bunch, sometimes it will have higher rolls.
It's worth optimizing if itll be used a lot.
I ended up making the cc ep build on all 4 agents so I rolled a metric ton of setup bags to get haste and hazpro. For fi you need haste and repair.
Step up the Lootcifer sacrifices and you'll roll a good one in no time.
🔥😈🔥

[thorn hedge]

i spent all my rng on raid exotics 😔

[blazing timber]

Eagle Burger?

[thorn hedge]

[silent estuary]

since crafting primarily needs the UG component I guess it's not an either/or. Just grind countdown with UG target loot, scrap all the trash junk, craft The Setup, donate or scrap the results

How do I get the veteran rewards I'm gonna freak if I can't get them anymore

[cedar yacht]

Better get to freaking out cuz it was only toward the 1st

[pseudo tundra]

Tom Clancy's The Division (@TheDivisionGame) on X

To clarify any confusion, the Veteran Rewards Program officially concluded on January 1, 2025. Stay tuned for more opportunities in the future!

X · Jan 17, 2025, 4:30 PM

[sudden matrix]

Bro is gonna freak out...

[blazing cargo]

That's some dumb shit

Scumbag company won't get another penny

Why end it if it was for veterans only

Wtf is the point

F ubisoft

Just Uninstalled the game it's a shame that the company ruins it like that

Absolutely disappointing

[silent estuary]

10/10 solid freak out, definitely delivered

[daring wren]

Note it says more opportunities in the future. Loot goblin might poop them out or something at some point

[blazing cargo]

I shouldn't have to wait for more opportunities to get a reward that they made specifically for the people who've played the most

[cedar yacht]

hmm...

[blazing cargo]

What a way to send the middle finger directly to your most loyal player base

[cedar yacht]

Pretty sure they gave it to everyone that play the game

The "veteran" was only for the skin

[wraith flare]

if you played at ALL in 2024 they gave it to you thats hardly veteran 😭

[slim elk]

holy yappers

[gray mason]

If you are one of the people who play the most, then why didn't you get it?

[wispy merlin]

🗣️

[slim elk]

I was gonna say something but I prefer staying shut

[rugged stratus]

Most loyal playerbase doesnt really fit considering you didnt log in the entire timeframe it was issued. 2x btw

[cedar yacht]

I mean he did say he was gonna freak out

[open ledge]

even i a returning player who played D1 for a few hundred hours and played div 2 a fair bit over the last 3. got the gold. it was that easy to be a veteran. only newbies arent

[rugged stratus]

Fr. The only real issue I saw was some people getting <40 because they logged into a mule.

[cedar yacht]

probably one them since there was a notice when they logged in during that event

[slim elk]

funny thing

their bio describes the situation perfectly lmfao

[cold radish]

It's weird it was only for a timeframe, i just hoppe they set the gun free soon again, im so bummed that i dind't get it 😦

[delicate mountain]

The harvest?A revolver?!

[cold radish]

???

[sudden matrix]

Lexington.

[delicate mountain]

got it), maybe it will be timed to coincide with the DLS , later

[cold radish]

Would be nice, only gun im missing:(

[pseudo tundra]

All time limited weapons came back, would say to not overreact and wait a while and it should come back

The ones that didnt come back were tied to paid expansions

[vapid egret]

hi i am doing the regulus projects atm and i am missing ironworks materials, if i go for IH this week for materials, will i be able to get the regulus parts in second run ?

[cedar yacht]

No

Unless you do it on an alt

[vapid egret]

so i need this week raid and next week ?

[cedar yacht]

Have you done a raid this week?

Because it resets tomorrow

[vapid egret]

i did yesterday

[cedar yacht]

Oh

[vapid egret]

but problem is i don't have enough materials for the projects, thats why i am asking

[cedar yacht]

Then it would be two weeks

Unless you clear it first on an alt and finish the project on main

[vapid egret]

okay thank you

[robust pine]

I got the notification "rogue agents nearby" I went to every activity/event in the area, and there weren't any rogues. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

[pseudo tundra]

Nothing they tend to spawn then move around making them in open world just wonky

Could try using pulse to try finding them

[robust pine]

How far away do they spawn/run? I know they're supposed to be in the general vicinity, but that could still be 2-10 blocks of coverage, including verticality.

And how long do they stick around for?

[pseudo tundra]

Honestly dont know that

[robust pine]

no one seems to know.

[silent estuary]

They won't spawn at the same time as an event, so heading towards an existing event is the least likely place to find them. They spawn at an activity spawn point (either an empty one or replacing an existing event) but they're not visible on the map, and can move around a bit. They're also hostile towards any other faction so if you hear fighting nearby you can go check if it's them.

[weary junco]

On a second account, resources are only shared when the character is 40? Also do I need to craft the mods again or will they all be automatically added at 40?

[rugged stratus]

Whenever you buy the shared mats, shared blueprints from the crafting lady.
materials will be shared and weapon mods should be available.
You used to be able to do this @ level 30 if you boosted after reaching whitehouse and not boosting to ny. With 1 endgame I'm not sure when they are available to buy tho

[iron zinc]

Can someone tell me how projects work. I clicked track on screen but how do I actually find where to go on map? Am I missing somtin ?

[coral surge]

For umbra which does increase the stacks for healing the chest or backpack?

[slim elk]

Depends on the project, which one are you tracking?

[mellow trout]

Bag

[coral surge]

@mellow troutty ty

[junior dock]

Let’s say an attribute is 7% and the maximum it could be is 15%, if I optimize it, is it able to fully max out that attribute if I have enough materials?

[wispy merlin]

yes

[slim elk]

If you have extracted that 15% to the library then yes

[junior dock]

To be clear you’re talking about optimization, not recalibration, correct?

[slim elk]

It affects both

Is anyone else getting incredible lag in the game? Like enemies aren't spawning, or spawning late and can't be shot?? My bullets either don't fire, or do so with a 3-5 second delay LOL. I've checked my connections and everything looks good on my end. Just hoping this isn't related to today's patch as eveything was running smooth yesterday evening...

[toxic flume]

what are the targeted loot today?

[silent estuary]

do enemies take more headshot damage when reanimated is active?

[mellow trout]

Considerably more

[wispy merlin]

2.5x more, all-multiplicative

[swift lake]

Call my game

[silent estuary]

huh that explains how I headshot that elite without my hh being active, thanks

[sudden matrix]

Wait I have a clip for this

[wispy merlin]

yeah it's extremely busted

[mellow trout]

you can run chainkiller and any random shit and you'll still kill everything

[swift lake]

Yes

[silent estuary]

yeah I just took out the SR-1 which used to underperform, not being able to start the chain with purples. Now it can start the chain with yellows...

[sudden matrix]

Can't say for sure if the D50 will do the same anymore tho.

[wispy merlin]

determined spotted, get em

[sudden matrix]

This was made for the memes so do your worst.

[silent estuary]

does perfect determined not chain? Reading that it doesn't, there goes my idea of using Prophet. I do have a D50 to recal though

[wispy merlin]

yeah it doesn't

just craft a magnum

[toxic flume]

goodness gracious…. nO SMG OR AR OR LMG

[mellow trout]

Reanimated is just busted yo

[cedar yacht]

You just realize that?

[mellow trout]

nah it's always been that time I throw whatever on for expertise since buff

[toxic flume]

wait theres a event going right now?

[silent estuary]

Reanimated is on for a week. Overlaps with the 5X XP this weekend, so I think it's chainkilling time.

How do I play the event?

[coral surge]

ty ty

[coral surge]

so to get points in the event all I have to do is kill the enemies with headshots?

after activating the event of course

[silent estuary]

you can complete the challenges listed, or just gain SHD levels for one star per level

there's a new challenge list released every day but you can complete previously released challenges any time

[coral surge]

ty ty

[delicate mountain]

perfect for an event, imho)

[rugged stratus]

Chainkiller + 5x level 1 worn out grey gear perfect for the event 👴

Headshots stupid powerful with reanimated.
Although regulas actually lags behind high end pistols/rifles/mmr.
Npcs that die from reg explosion get back up

[coral surge]

how do I go from proficiency 19 to 20 , I ask coz I cant donate anymore and I have been playing for a while but the level is not increasing

[slim elk]

you just equip the piece and play with it, countdown works best

[coral surge]

thx thx

[slim elk]

if it's a weapon you don't necessarily have to use it

[coral surge]

really i didnt know that

[slim elk]

or was that skills...? I don't remember

[inner tendon]

You can donate Resources for everything, or alternatively: yeah just have it equipped to get passive XP.

You'll get way more xp from actually using it, but it's 100% not required.

[delicate mountain]

Knowledge leveling works even when a weapon is in the second slot, or a skill, but slower.

[inner tendon]

Is there an echo in here?

[sudden matrix]

Kill XP is the only XP that advances it.

[autumn tapir]

Can anyone tell me how to find hunters for Ridgeway's Pride?

[rugged stratus]

Look through your crafting recipes. You may have some easy levels to gain.
Improvised gear is a big one, it could be 60 levels towards your next expertise level.
Any weapon replicas can be crafted to proficient as well if any of the weapons arent complete.
Some named items and exotics may not be available or obtained.
Skills were mentioned, but you should also check your specialization weapons for use or donations.

Purchased items can finish proficiency as well.
20 donations per named, weapon, improvised.

If you have excessive shd available you can use as cash and buy skill mods. They auto break into printer filament and can be used for any item/skill donations. It's around 227 shd per item with his method.
Direct scavenging > printer filament is 300 shd per ,so save where you can

Hopfully some of this helps

[sudden matrix]

Coney island manhunt mission.

[autumn tapir]

on what difficulty?

[hot canyon]

District Union arena, setup on normal. Kill everyone but one guy with the WiFi icon. He will keep sending remote cars like every 20sec or so. If you dont get the Wifi icon guy in the first section jsut restart until one spawns.

[robust pine]

Why doesn't the Vile mask work with the burn damage from the flamethrower?

[silent estuary]

it does if they catch on fire. Sometimes they take damage from the blast of the flamethrower but roll hazpro on the fire and don't catch on fire

in that case Vile won't proc

[robust pine]

I'm setting them on fire but they aren't taking any kind of extra damage. The fire damage is ticking for 500-550k. With my status effects stat at like 70% plus 700k for half of the concussion grenade damage I should be seeing 1mil+ damage numbers if the Vile were proccing

[silent estuary]

do you see the Vile icon? Same icon as the talent

when I'm running Vile the vile icon is always present when I set them on fire, the only time I see the fire icon without the vile icon is when they set themselves on fire

[robust pine]

I didn't notice it anywhere

[silent estuary]

hmm weird

but you see the fire icon right

[robust pine]

Yep

[silent estuary]

server issue? This is weird

[robust pine]

Not that I know of?

[silent estuary]

what happens when you burn them with other means, like a grenade or sticky

[robust pine]

This is testing over several days too btw. Not just like one instance.

I don't have any other forms of burn. I might explode something and cause them to burn from say a gas can but I'm using flamethrower with Tip of the spear.

And the vile mask.

Ignore the scorpio, I was testing it out and just goofing around.

[silent estuary]

yeah I mean just try it, to check if your mask procs on anything at all

[robust pine]

Ok, swapped burn sticky in. I'll go find some lab rats to test it on.

Yep, I see it

[silent estuary]

yeah try the flamethrower without ToTS? Maybe that does something to special weapons

[cedar yacht]

Yeah you go maps then projects

Not sure why your doing it there

[robust pine]

I see it but the damage numbers are like really bad.

[silent estuary]

so when you put on ToTS the Vile just straight up doesn't proc? Very interesting, definitely not intended I'd say

[coral surge]

I didint know that thx thx

[robust pine]

It does, I guess I just never noticed it before. The damage ticks from it are garbage though. Either way, boiling down to useless.

[open mountain]

yea with no glass cannon or any amp like it it’s pretty meh

[robust pine]

58k from the vile mask...

what happened to half your concussion + status effects

[silent estuary]

I mean it's a 10% boost to your burn damage that's in a mask slot... DPS builds would give their right nut for a 10% boost that doesn't require a talent sacrifice.

[robust pine]

but dps builds can dish triple the damage per bullet instead of per second.

1.5mil damage per bullet from a strikers build vs 550k per second.

[silent estuary]

yeah fire really works well if you catch them bunched up like at a spawn point

[open mountain]

different use cases

[silent estuary]

otherwise AoE < point damage always, would be super imba otherwise

[robust pine]

I mean sure, if you could fire hose AOE a strega or Ouroboros at 10mil dps then yeah, bit broken

[open mountain]

i wouldn’t use strikers in content where ads die in lower difficulty content

[robust pine]

It was just an example

[open mountain]

or if i need to support with foam and such

not everything is about the single target…

[silent estuary]

try leaning into it fully with an eclipse build, I was shocked by how effective it was at clearing heroic CPs if you can catch the spawns while they're trying to come out

[open mountain]

yea and eclipse is the main status build

it’s just so strong

[robust pine]

That's what I'm going to go with. Full Eclipse.

[nova trout]

I’m suprised vile is that bad, full red dps with gc and pesti ticks more than that 😂

[robust pine]

That's what I thought too.

[open mountain]

if you build into it and other stuff it gets stronger

[robust pine]

There's some calculation that's happening that I'm not seeing or the mask isn't working right.

[open mountain]

there’s one build that can roughly equal strikers iirc

but mainly solo build

[nova trout]

I ran a legendary with a guy running a mortar/effect build and we didn’t even have to do anything he basically solo that mf

[silent estuary]

pretty sure it's not supposed to literally be "targets eat 1/2 a grenade plus status effect amps every second"

[robust pine]

It's not.

It's half concussion + status effect OVER 10 seconds

but, the calculation of that should still be about 150k not 50k

[open mountain]

it’s mainly buffed by explosion damage

[silent estuary]

well yeah that makes sense then. 10s is a long ass time

[robust pine]

No it isn't. Vile mask is status effect

[nova trout]

Go with demolitionist, grenade deals 2.1mil dmg. In turn vile ticks higher

[robust pine]

But are you still stacking status effects or explosive damage at that point?

[nova trout]

And use pesti/iron lung, nasty

[open mountain]

yes you are if you are building into it

[nova trout]

Always lean more towards creeping death

When running vile

[robust pine]

My whole goal was DoT with flamethrower + Vile mask ticks for like 750k total DoT with AoE on CPs

Yeah I used creeping death a while back, I guess I'll have to go back to it

[open mountain]

it’s both but explosive damage increases are the main increases due to it increasing the base damage

[nova trout]

I forget the build but I believe 4 pc ongoing dir,vile,and perf creeping death is disgusting

[robust pine]

So how do you build for explosive damage AND status effects?

[open mountain]

glass cannon instead of creeping death

[open mountain]

1pc china light and demo spec

[nova trout]

Yeah or that, but I’m a glass cannon hater

[open mountain]

30% explosive damage there

[cedar yacht]

Damn you run gc on your backpack?

[open mountain]

od bag

it’s a od status build

[nova trout]

Don’t got yours ?

got it as my tattoo

passive spec buff

[nova trout]

For some reason I believe you

You grab that d50 👀

[wispy merlin]

got that big iron with determined.

||i literally have not touched determined after the first day it came out||

[open mountain]

sir you use it all the time

[wispy merlin]

i use determined 2

y'all stuck on determined mk 1

[slim elk]

what about the gaming chair

[wispy merlin]

i sold it to the highest bidder

[autumn tapir]

good alternative to the lexington high-end Ar?

[odd condor]

the regular Police M4

[sweet garnet]

why am I getting level 40 items as a level 16

[oak tide]

are they gear set items?

like are they teal*(not blue/green/gray/etc)

[nimble spruce]

it's a bug with the new gearset and brandset that were added this season, they drop at lvl 40 regardless of the lvl of the player

[oak tide]

/\

[nimble spruce]

just sell/deconstruct them, or if any have a max stat roll then maybe keep for your library (once you unlock it)

[slim elk]

is that a GD spike?

[oak tide]

i was doing a arrow.....

[rugged stratus]

Run fire eclipse with bag. You'll see a lot better vile damage and your status will spread on kill... dont know why you're using tots, its a terrible set now and really not worth building.

[mellow trout]

Not perfect but

Still wondering what mods to actually put on anyway

[nocturne siren]

Crit mods, bc why not

[mellow trout]

Builds got like no crit whatsoever rn

[nocturne siren]

For once, this is a "trust me bro" statement. Put CHC mods on

trust me

[mellow trout]

[nocturne siren]

I will take 3 newbies and teach them gate strat rn if you dont

[mellow trout]

😨

[nocturne siren]

Beautiful question: will the Lexington ever become available as a farmable loot goblin drop?

[mellow trout]

I'd assume it will at some point

[robust pine]

I made the build for the event with the explosions. I wanted to try it since I'd never made the build before.

But yes, ToTS sucks

So I'll join the monkeys with eclipse and bask in armies melting.

[rugged stratus]

next time hollywood pops up, run highend mortar or hardwire seeker spam, demo regardless with or without mortar. i saw a few running tots because it "generates spec ammo", but with hollywood you can generate spec ammo with any explosives, disrupt, shock, or the spec weapon itself

[silent estuary]

I really enjoy the screaming. Not enough games feature people screaming while they slowly die

[nocturne siren]

Somebody hasn't exposed you to GTA yet?

[rugged stratus]

time to go pop some heads 🤯

[nocturne siren]

Speaking of, throw back to the time I was at a poor SHD level and had to pop my head up to notice the floating warhound in DZ. Unsure why my landmark wasn't cleared, I killed everything that walks. Turned out some Black Tusk officer thought it would be funny to sprinkle fairy dust on the warhound. Good times, good times 💔

[coral surge]

If I'm using coyote mask, should I have my crit hit chance at 57% or should I put it at around 50%, I ask because coyote mask give crit hit chance too

[mellow trout]

If you're playing mid range then yeah leave it at around 50

[coral surge]

thx , nop I'm playing mid high range

[muted rose]

whats coyote mask do anyway

does it buff crit hit chance per hit or per kill

[coral surge]

per hit according to the distance you hit the enemy

also gives crit hit damage according to the distance you hit the enemy

[mellow trout]

Hitting enemies from different ranges give different crit buffs

[subtle pier]

What level of armor expertise on an all red build will get you to three equal health bar segments? (Like the health in division1)

[mellow trout]

Expertise on armour is garbage don't bother

[muted rose]

do certain armor pieces spawn in with guarenteed roles

[pseudo tundra]

named items

otherwise, only main core

[muted rose]

the past 3 striker pieces i found have all been full red

is that just luck

[pseudo tundra]

eh.... not really lucky, rolls are biased

main core is always the same depending on the brand

so striker always rolls weapon damage as main core

the second roll has a 50% bias to be also be the same color as the main core

and gear sets have one less roll, so it's not really that hard to get both red

[muted rose]

oh alright

[pseudo tundra]

the tricky part is getting the stats you want WITH good rolls

on brands it can be trickier

[muted rose]

yeah probably

I am tryna get the coyote mask first though before getting my other pieces

i can just do summit for those but the coyote might take a bit

is there a certain diffcultly I should do for that

[robust pine]

What items have % melee damage on them? I know Lady Death and bloody knuckles, but isn't there an item that gives +600% melee damage? I'm going crazy trying to find it.

[mellow trout]

Claws out gives a bunch

[open mountain]

depends how much that is

currently

with expertise 27 on all pieces it’s like 170k increase

[rugged stratus]

replace with grupo. the far buff is all chc. also, if using global modifiers , retribution will top off chc.

[pearl pasture]

Named wyvern wear holster "claws out" also the booster hive adds some. Holding a shield will also make you hit harder or at least the firewall one will help. I think the shocker punch might also add a little bit of melee but not anywhere near as much.

[open mountain]

just lady death, claws out, firewall shield, booster hive and bloody knuckles

[pearl pasture]

^ty, never use the shocker punch to know really.

[coral surge]

ty ty

So the ravenous exotic rifle can only be obtained from raid?

[cedar yacht]

Dz aswell but its abysmal drop rate

And its not in the target loot pool

[coral surge]

ah ok thx

[dire drift]

At what SHD level is it worth it to make an alt for scavenger points? It’s a daily struggle getting mats for optimizations

[flint hare]

u have 800 shd point taken for watch, it's up to u but i think i did mule for points at 5k. Im 23k atm

[toxic flume]

targeted loot todays? @sudden matrix

[sudden matrix]

I should just invite you to the server it gets posted to.

[junior sequoia]

Does all SHD XP count towards Clan XP? What about other XP like DZ, conflict and battle pass XP?

[flint hare]

i kill enemies with weak points but it doesn't count why? im at 2/50

[nimble spruce]

What is this for? Commendation? Field research? Summit challenge? Manhunt scout task?

[flint hare]

réanimated GE on day 2

[tough mural]

Yeah im on 6/50 but no idea how

[flint hare]

maybe destroy weak point nd kill with hs. Idk. I m checking atm

[flint hare]

u need to kill with the weak point dmg

[tough mural]

Ah will truy thanks !

[flint hare]

i destroy it before kill it doesn't count

[tough mural]

Seems tedious, gonna skip that one i think

[junior sequoia]

Just leave the enemies at low HP and then launch that firefly.

[toxic flume]

yes please

[dire drift]

At 5k?? Damn… how did you farm mats before you did the mule trick? I’ve been running the solar farm route daily and while it’s decent, it’s not enough.

[flint hare]

becuse at that time it was just for the legend weekly project nd there was no expertise

[sudden matrix]

Mules are worth it when the time to level a mule nets you more mats than just farming them yourself. Honestly this probably happens somewhere below 1K SHD if you've got someone to help run you thru on mules(this week DCD is invaded so you can do mule runs with 1 carry in 30-45 minutes).

[rugged stratus]

Do you keep 4 agents? Can hit solar farm x4 daily if so. And also able to harvest points while shd climbs.

[dire drift]

Nope, only have 1. I guess Im going to be leveling up alts this weekend since it’s 5x

[sudden matrix]

5x doesn't work on mules

Only level 40 characters get that bonus.

[nimble spruce]

If this is to cover optimisation costs, you might be better off just farming for better rolls. Max rolls and expertise upgrades don't make the biggest difference to how effective a build is, so you could just ignore them until you're higher shd.

[coral surge]

I'm using the flamethrower on reanimated hostiles but it is not registering

how do I burn the reanimated hostiles?

[storm idol]

If I want to do a AR build, is it better to run striker or heartbreaker set? I do have memento, I want to use the build for summit farming

[rugged stratus]

Level them after event. Theyll get all the shd you gain on your main anyways

One of my clanmates was doing the solar farm runs daily x4 for expertise donations , and he said he pulls out about 10k combined assortment of materials.

[coral surge]

Why the flame turret isnt shoot flame?

[flint hare]

u need to deploy nd actived it with the same key has deploy.

[coral surge]

humm I did, i will try again thx

[flint hare]

1 press for deploy nd one other for active flammes

[coral surge]

thx thx

[flint hare]

all good?

[coral surge]

yep it is working now

ty ty

[flint hare]

u welcome 👍

[tough mural]

Why are some control points sometime on Heroic ? I'm only level 81 and needless to say i get smashed in .07 seconds 😂

[nimble spruce]

When you do other open world activities, if they're connected to a control point it'll increase the alert level of that CP for a while. Look for little lines on the map

[tough mural]

Oh okay so it's better to do the CP first ?

In my case if i want not play on heroic

[nimble spruce]

Yes, or just don't do those CPs at all and just focus on activities

If you put together a sniper build with chainkiller chest and Determined on the mmr you'll easily be able to clear heroic difficulty this week though, with reanimated active you can one shot every enemy

[tough mural]

Huh-huh, these are words

Sorry i playing only for one week, i don't really got into builds yet

[nimble spruce]

Fair enough. There's a spreadsheet pinned in #td2-build-advice with a bunch of gear information and good builds if you want to take a look. It'll make a world of difference to your damage output.

[tough mural]

Will defo do it, right now i focus on playing on hard and just figure out the game hehe

[nimble spruce]

You should definitely turn on the reanimated event if you haven't already though, it's in the season menu, timeline tab

[tough mural]

I did ! Already did some challenges

[whole axle]

sorry what do you mean by this part "(this week DCD is invaded so you can do mule runs with 1 carry in 30-45 minutes)."

[flint hare]

when have the build it's what it looks like

[tough mural]

Omg this is awesome haha thanks for sharing ( i also speak 🇫🇷 btw)

[flint hare]

here it's only english

[tough mural]

Yeah no i wasn't starting to speak french, dw

[flint hare]

if u want help to do the build i can

[sudden matrix]

I mean exactly what I said. Not sure if you need a more detailed explanation but I'd just be using the same words just moved around.

[whole axle]

you can run a mule from lvl 31 to 40 doing just DCD? and it will take 30-45 mins - is that what you meant?

[flint hare]

with a player at lvl 40

[coral surge]

which reagion can I find Hyenas?

[whole axle]

really?? that sounds....efficient I guess

thx, will give it a try

[flint hare]

near DUA

[coral surge]

DUA?

[flint hare]

district union arena

[coral surge]

thx thx

what is weak point on the hostile?

[sudden matrix]

Yeah you have the carry(level 40 player) run DCD INVADED with all directives(invaded is key as it gives more xp) and when the carry gets to the door before the boss room they invite the low level player(if you invite before engaging the room they get xp but if they join mid way you might wanna have them shoot the boss before finishing). I may not be the best benchmark but I can do DCD invaded with all directives/invite the player and finish in around 6 minutes. You only need to do this 6 times to take someone from level 30-40. You can do no directives or turn the diff down to challenging and it'll only require 1 more clear.

Oh another thing to mention is you can have 1-4 people run this mission and wait at boss room and invite in 3 low level players. Pretty much a mule party. You can also run animated and determined/chainkiller for stupid easy runs.

[whole axle]

thank you, gamechanger

[wispy merlin]

[nimble zenith]

Hello, guys. I was saving this to finish later (been up for weeks for me), but only now i noticed its 15h left. Does it change daily or will i lose it completely if i dont do it in 15h? Last time i checked it had weeks on it (i think) so i didnt really bother to do it

[wispy merlin]

it's a daily project

it just has more xp than the free daily project, you're not missing out on anything

[nimble zenith]

So tomorrow ill have new daily there from season pass? I wanted to do it on x5 since it gives nice xp

[flint hare]

yes that's daily means

[sudden matrix]

Just do it everyday as it resets daily.

[nimble zenith]

@sudden matrix until season pass ends, i assume? I never tried it as i dont like pve, but was saving it for x5 😆

Ty for info, guys @flint hare @sudden matrix @wispy merlin 👍

[silent estuary]

challenge wants me to take a photo of reanimated. How do I do that

[sudden matrix]

Photo mode

Get reanimated fool, throw decoy, take pic

[silent estuary]

what do I press, I have both KB and controller

[sudden matrix]

esc

You'll see what button it is at the bottom

[silent estuary]

ok I see it thanks

[sudden matrix]

It's a pretty robust photo mode just wish you could fly around further away.

[rugged stratus]

Only really usefull saving shd/weekly projects for 5x event

[silent estuary]

welp that was as annoying and fiddly as I expected, but at least it was quick

[viral forum]

Where can I find groups to help me with missions?

[silent estuary]

if you're new just do the "look for backup" thing, it's super casual

[crimson needle]

I just defeated Aaron Keener. Where do I go to defeat the other rogue agents?

[nimble spruce]

Manhunt tab on the map menu should have some kind of 'legacy manhunts' option

[oak tide]

what would be the best way to upgrade my SHD watch?

[flint hare]

active GE, do a hh determined build wait xp x5 on friday

[oak tide]

alr, thanks

[slim elk]

If you don't want/don't have to wait until an XP or GE is active...
You can still use the 📌 method. Now, just a heads up, I'm currently working on making a status effects build to update the #1 method since the one I shared wasn't the best (mathematically). I still need to make some clips and stuff.

||This will take a couple days since I'm studying in the afternoon||

[silent estuary]

@slim elk that post is a tease, it says clear CPs but doesn't give a route consisting of CPs that are easily clearable with a headhunter build 😁

[slim elk]

Yes it does...

[silent estuary]

just 2? Just bounce between Sinkhole and Sleeping Giant and reset/

[slim elk]

Travel time wise

It's already explained in there

[silent estuary]

damn I was expecting a full route like the East Mall Resource Run

I guess if you don't mind clearing the same 2 CPs repeatedly then optimal is optimal

[sullen echo]

can I still get the lexington from anywhere?

[slim elk]

nope

[slim elk]

You don't clear both, you choose one of those and then you just repeatedly farm it

[silent estuary]

makes sense, from a minmax point of view.

[muted rose]

whats the name of the grupo chest piece

like yknow how alps brand name is Zwiadowka and whatever

like is Grupo the GL with the plus in the middle

[nimble spruce]

If you want more variety just run around all the outcast CPs. They're the best faction for headhunter builds since none wear helmets except the chungas.

[silent estuary]

are warhounds immune to handguns?

[nimble spruce]

Nope

[silent estuary]

emptied two cylinders of magnum into it and the health bar did not move

[nimble spruce]

They have armour on their bodies and some damage reduction on their legs

If you've got headhunter stacks just shoot them in the leg though for a one shot

[silent estuary]

I did have headhunter stacks, hit them for 7M damage, tiny sliver of life left, then I emptied 12 rounds into it with no effect while it casually shot me to death

[iron zinc]

anyone use an xbox controller for pc? Got a ques about on screen mesging

[nimble spruce]

If you're shooting the body you have to destroy the armour before you can damage it. Determined bypasses that but only for one shot (if it doesn't kill them outright)

[silent estuary]

ah that's it

I thought it was nearly dead but 100% of the armor was still there. So I tried to facetank it to death because it was the last enemy and I thought a few rounds more would do it

[nimble spruce]

Have to shoot it in the leg then but without crits or hh stacks you'll do lower damage than usual

[muted rose]

where does coyote mask drop

[pseudo tundra]

anywhere with mask targetted loot

[wheat berry]

countdown or summit with mask as targeted loot, or jefferson trade center from coyote boss

[wispy merlin]

if you're running a HH build and you lost all stacks you're in a pretty tight spot

[silent estuary]

yeah apparently handguns without all those stacks can't break the armor of a warhound, I apparently forgot

probably got too used to the sniper rifles one-shotting them when HH is active

[nimble spruce]

They can, it just takes a while

[muted rose]

yeah ive ran it way too much now for this mask

might just go grind my my chest piece instead

[rugged stratus]

I've found elmo is a solid backup weapon for HH builds. With all the hsd from the build and also a lot of handling combined with elmos stability allows it to laser heads for similar damage as a crit version elmo dps

Probably also use bighorn and eagle burger in the same role

[silent estuary]

yeah I steamroll everything and then a chunga appears breaks my HH streak and I just lose the plot and die

[rugged stratus]

Usually you'll break the helmet. Gotta get that follow up

[silent estuary]

I need to put away the handgun as soon as I break a helmet

[mellow trout]

Try to leave a weaker ad or two alive if you know you have to drop stacks

Most of the time you can just follow up though

[wispy merlin]

you have to break helmet, kill chunga to get HH, then kill dog

basically you have to do some planning before you engage the targets. for each dog you need at least that many number of heads to get HH off of (1 head = 1 HH stack = 1 dog kill with m870)

if the stage doesn't satisfy this requirement you'll 99% of the time not be able to complete with pure HH

[silent estuary]

yeah I'm getting it slowly. The difficulty jump is like a wall. At Challenging 5 directives I can sleepwalk through a CP3 since it's full of reds. Approach a CP4 and I just die because I can't get the HH started since they're mostly yellow

actually I think I'm not able to start the chain on purples since I'm using a magnum at medium range when the damage falloff is already happening

so there's no way to even get started with a CP4 takeover

maybe I need to put the shield up and rush in... meh this is really too much work compared to just a regular sniper HH

[jagged pumice]

Is there any reason that I cant track progress on screen for field research?

[mellow trout]

If it's the start of the chain you're struggling with you can run nemesis as a secondary

[silent estuary]

oh that makes sense. HH before determined

I've always thought the other way around

but that doesn't work if your headshots can't kill

[mellow trout]

Also just turn on the global event if it isn't on

[silent estuary]

yeah it's on, I wouldn't even dare to try using a handgun HH otherwise

so basically if I want to be able to run-and-gun HH - I start building up the HH damage with a few kills from range using a MMR, then swap to the close range weapon and move in. The longer range weapon has more base damage to ramp up fast and also allows me to choose my targets better.

[mellow trout]

One kill with a sniper should give you max stacks when you switch to your sidearm

[silent estuary]

if I lose the chain, get more distance and switch back to MMR

(that's usually when I die)

[mellow trout]

What build are you currently running

[silent estuary]

hunter's fury, memento, chainkiller

it's not optimized since I don't normally run HF

there's a couple of headshot damage in there and some critical chance

all gear mods HSD

[mellow trout]

Can just post a screen cap and I'll check

[wispy merlin]

this works the same with HHF

[wispy merlin]

you can aggressive snipe like this

[mellow trout]

Build looks good

Generally though you want a shotgun or sniper as a backup

[wispy merlin]

i'd run m870 and a sniper as my primaries

basically no crit
