[silent estuary]

yeah

[wispy merlin]

you would also have to let go of bulwark and use crusader or striker shield

[silent estuary]

does it make you slower?

[wispy merlin]

but once you do that's when you truly get used to the playstyle

yes, using the shield makes you slower

any shield does that

[silent estuary]

so the bigger shield makes you slower than the smaller shield

[wispy merlin]

no, they're the same speed

[mellow trout]

Big shield just locks you to your sidearm

[silent estuary]

oh I see, you're saying ditch the handgun

use the shotty

[wispy merlin]

no, i want you to be able to switch between pistol and m870/sniper at will

and that means either no shield or half shield

[silent estuary]

got it

[wispy merlin]

if you want to practice, practice in lincoln heroic

do the mission as fast as possible and headshot stuff

[crimson abyss]

im not seeing anymore blue prints is there a limit a week

[wispy merlin]

the m870 is really special in that once you get 1 stack of sniper or pistol kill, when you swap to it you're full stack and can bust a chunga helmet immediately

[wispy merlin]

that means you got all that you could

[silent estuary]

I'll keep an eye out for one

hmm could craft one. I want the express or the MCS?

[wispy merlin]

either is fine

they have the exact same base and accuracy and that's what matters

[coral surge]

I have my exotic St elmos engine at proficiency 19 and I have been playing for 2 days since I got to proficiency 19 and it just doesnt want to increase beyond that and I cant upgrade anymore

[crimson abyss]

i dont even have all of them im 321/526 and 1/6

[wispy merlin]

I'm not saying that's all of them, that's all that you could get

some of them are locked behind quests, descent or past seasons that you simply cannot get anymore

[crimson abyss]

and you cant pick seasons and we dont know when they would be back

[wispy merlin]

yep

[crimson abyss]

for Optimization it's the optimization cache it's right my current expertise is level 8. I wish they would just release all the blueprints that they have up until now

[silent estuary]

damn, I just had a thought - since Chainkiller is in the vendor currently, if I deleted a mule and made a new level 30, would they be able to buy a level 30 chainkiller?

[mellow trout]

You can go farm out most if not all items

And the ones that you can't you can still donate to level up proficiency

[wispy merlin]

are you talking about optimization blueprints?

[silent estuary]

no the item

[wispy merlin]

oops wrong ping

[mellow trout]

I'm fairly sure the only way to get one is to craft one after getting the print in descent

[wispy merlin]

are you talking about optimization blueprints?

[wispy merlin]

you can't get them at level 30 because chainkiller is 40 exclusive iirc

[crimson abyss]

oh i been donating like crazy i need more mats for Optimization and i would like all the blue prints one day

[wispy merlin]

you can only get them at lv30 by crafting via descent

[wispy merlin]

the optimization blueprints are all available. you just need to farm them

you've been farming control points?

[crimson abyss]

ya for blueprints mostly and countdown time to time

[mellow trout]

If you need mats you can do a mule run or maybe just find a better roll

[wispy merlin]

do more control points then cuz you haven't gotten all the blueprints

make sure they're challenging or heroic

[crimson abyss]

all i got so far and 1 gun to Expertise seven 7

[wispy merlin]

try to get a different backpack

[crimson abyss]

Every control point I checked now only has crafting materials

[wispy merlin]

just keep completing them and see if you still get anything

[mellow trout]

Some blueprints can pop up in the chest

[fierce coyote]

whats the best way to farm backbone backpack in countdown what should i prioritize?

[cedar yacht]

Lengmo

[rugged stratus]

i addressed this yesterday 😉 , you need more proficient items to increase expertise rank...
#ask-td2-community message

[coral surge]

I have plenty of materials and junk named items as well

[rugged stratus]

goto tinker > expertise and take a ss of expertise rank including the small number readout ( like #/90 )

[rugged stratus]

ok yeah, nowhere near 19 😅 .

your expertise rank is 2 atm. that means you can apply 2 upgrades to an item, which i wouldnt worry about right now.

the yellow line: is the expertise rank. youre about to hit 3

red line: is your proficient levels needed to hit next rank, you need 10 levels here, thats equivalent to taking a weapon from 0-10 proficient (like the rank 10 on elmo there)

blue line: is overall proficiency, its just an expanded version if the red stat, you would need 406/406 to hit max expertise, which is currently 27.

orange line: every time you get done a bit of playing, sort the gear you want to keep, mark all else as junk, check to see if you can pull anything max rolled for your library, then hit this expertise tab. use the command i highlighted to donate all junk to expertise. this will automatically donate anything it can to increase an items proficiency. weapons/named items are 20 donations to make any rank 10 proficient, gear and brand sets are 100 to rank 10 proficient an entire set.

[coral surge]

OMG thank u so much for explainning

[rugged stratus]

any junk thats left over from donating you can deconstruct for materials. youll find some items/skills you hate, you can technically donate materials directly to an item be navigating to the specific item and youll see an option to donate materials to it. be careful if you use this because it is very easy to hold the key too long and donate all materials. i would only do these type of donations on mats that are maxed out a lot, like protective fabric and receiver components. anything can be use tho if you are overflowing

[mellow trout]

What is that debuff I have never seen it before

[coral surge]

thx thx so much

[rugged stratus]

start putting weapons/pistols along side your main items weapon and they will gain rank just from being on the build, same with skills if it doesnt ruin your build

check out that other linked message as well because i mentioned quite a few ways to make gains. it a long haul process so dont worry about getting it in 1 week or anything

GL Agent

[coral surge]

ty ty so much

[muted rose]

whats the point of leveling expertise

[mellow trout]

Expertise upgrades

Not always that useful but very useful in certain cases

[muted rose]

that dont tell me much

[mellow trout]

Deck explained everything already

[rugged stratus]

each rank is a % upgrade that can be applied. weapons get raw weapon damage, so current max is 27, so almost 2 red cores

[muted rose]

thats important I suppose

[rugged stratus]

you dont upgrade gear, and skills a specific and are listed in that menu what it improves

[mellow trout]

The upgrades are more useful in the DZ and on headhunter weapons

Certain skills scale insanely well with expertise like defender drone as well

[ocean crown]

some spanish?

[muted rose]

so its for minmaxxing

[rugged stratus]

yeah

[muted rose]

so it aint that important

or is it

[rugged stratus]

#lfg-xbox #td2-clan-recruitment (also other platform/gamemode lfg's) you can post in spanish. rest of server is english only

[mellow trout]

Not really

[rugged stratus]

build dependant

[mellow trout]

It's there if you're rich

Or if your build benefits from base wd

[rugged stratus]

also, if you want to flex... like a exp 27 revive hive

[mellow trout]

I'm gonna cry

All those components 😭

[muted rose]

worth it

swear

how do I upgrade my shd faster

[rugged stratus]

its 30% original cost now. i know eevee had a rank 24 revive before the reduction iirc

[mellow trout]

Could've gone to the defender drone😭

[rugged stratus]

ok, maybe only 23 😂 still a major flex tho

[flint hare]

revive 23 tf 😭

that's big flex 🤣

[rugged stratus]

at the time that was like 115 exo components

[rugged stratus]

grind controlpoints/open world activities. heroic with as many directives as possible. you can easily 5d this week with a pistol headhunter build.

[slim elk]

hey, do u mind to @ me when any other spanish speakers show up? I can help them tho

[mellow trout]

@misty tiger

[misty tiger]

Yep, you took way too long.

And you did it on Normal?!

[mellow trout]

Named enemies only spawn on heroic cps lol

[misty tiger]

Ah, I couldn't see the difficulty uup there on the left, my bad

[mellow trout]

Point being you can one shot everything super easy on any difficulty

[sick horizon]

AYEE WHO TRYNA GIVE ME A DPS BUILD IM LVL 333

[mellow trout]

Reanimated is super broken

[misty tiger]

I'm not doing control points, just P.E.'s

I wipe all the reanimated with a single pulse done deal

[rugged stratus]

check the pinned spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice , tons of solid builds

[forest otter]

A single pulse, are you somehow trying to do the event with a skill build?

[misty tiger]

Already tested, working just fine

[forest otter]

So you are confirming that you are indeed trying to do the global event with a skill build.

My guess is emp pulse on an eclipse or status effect build with vile mask, correct?

[misty tiger]

There's no trying, I've done both 5xp events this way. In under six hours.

[forest otter]

I think this event has a series of challenges for using fire skill builds so it makes sense.

[sick horizon]

how to get momento backpack

[misty tiger]

I don't actually try to get the Reanimated event goals. Waste of time. By gaining all 1000 levels from. The 5xp event, I'll gain about 1100 to 1200 stars

[misty tiger]

Countdown.

Or craft it.

[forest otter]

Exotic Caches, targeted farming for backpacks on countdown or summit, or just plain luck

[sick horizon]

ite

[misty tiger]

My bad, you said memento, my brain was thinking matador

[forest otter]

The challenges often allude to alternative methods of defeating NPC's. That is why I mentioned it.

[sick horizon]

u str8

[forest otter]

Often events have challenges relating to melee mechanics and other ways that NPC's are vulnerable.

[misty tiger]

Because anything else is abhorrent.

[sick horizon]

lol

[misty tiger]

True, but to me, those special requirements to collect just a few stars is an absolute waste of time. The 5xp event seem to always coincide with the Global Events. Each Of those global events rewards one star every time you gain an SHD level. I'm gaining 3 levels every 30 seconds farming the 5xp event, so it's sort of a bonus in my book.

[sick horizon]

yall having a debate lol

[misty tiger]

Not at all, just sharing info

[tough marsh]

Well it's good that you're enjoying college, not many do, including birds like me

[mellow trout]

Do y'all do speed waddling in PE

[tough marsh]

yeah

actually nah. can't really speed waddle it when it comes to PE with Reanimated.

the cloud will damage the friendlies but if you wait a while, they will regenerate their health back. it's just annoying because PEs take slower than usual

[snow cargo]

LOL?! Stars is the best way of getting exotics and ALL the Named gear/weapons.

[misty tiger]

What part didn't you get? When i do the 5xp event during the Global Event (this one being Reanimated) I'll collect well over 1000 stars. Last time I ended up with around 1100 or 1200....

I'm not going to waste time doing those silly little goals just to snag a handful of stars.

[snow cargo]

I mean this game is a loot'em shoot them game. Soooooo.........

[inner tendon]

The idea behind GE's in div2 is more "get the challenges done as you're doing other stuff", more-so than being intended to focus on them fully.

Certain players will find some easier than others, but like Countdown, the most important thing is: speed.

[tough marsh]

Remember back in the day when only GE challenges gave GE stars? fun times....

[misty tiger]

That's incredibly inaccurate...

[misty tiger]

At what point did they begin to reward a star for acquiring a level? Seems to me it's always been that way.

[misty tiger]

Speed waddling? Never heard the term. I can still clear the PE's with Reanimated enabled on Challenging with 5 directives in about 30 seconds tops.

[tough marsh]

which part?

ah

[misty tiger]

Edited.

[tough marsh]

good for you, then?

[misty tiger]

There's a method for everything, so when someone says "nah, you can't..." it usually means they can't...

Took me a few weeks to master Paradise Lost solo flawless, but applying the method worked

[tough marsh]

"Speed-waddling" is an inside joke I made that's more suitable term for "speedrunning" for penguins; we lack a pair of knees, therefore we can't run.

[misty tiger]

Lol, hahaha.

And no fingers for pulling triggers either!

There's a great documentary on Amazon about speed running . Amazing some of the dedication those people have

[snow cargo]

I mean... You have to have to flawless Incursion if you're soloing it. 90% of my speedruns would be perfect flawless too if I didn't go down for when I'm oxy.

[misty tiger]

Flawless as in not using a single med kit.

[snow cargo]

Prefect Flawless is no armor kit. Flawless is no downs.

[misty tiger]

Yep

[snow cargo]

But you just said here Flawless is not using an armor kit. Which you can use for just Flawless...

[misty tiger]

Perfect flawless then, I just call it flawless. Semantics.

[snow cargo]

But they are different and give 2 rewards for incursion. If you knew you would know.

[misty tiger]

It goes without saying that when you run it solo the going down is not an option

[snow cargo]

Right... Why I question why you're trying to state this.

[misty tiger]

I wasn't aware of that. Where do I find those rewards?

I've never seen anything pop up at completion?

[snow cargo]

It's in your Commendations

[misty tiger]

Oh hell, I haven't looked at those in years

[snow cargo]

It's where you get different patches.

[misty tiger]

There's a bug where everything still has exclamation points. I gave up looking at that crap. Not a completionist kinda guy.

I'm probably still wearing the first patch I ever got I don't even change my apparel.

[storm idol]

Does the summit restricted checkpoints and respawning on heroic and legendary just mean I get sent back to the latest elevator?

[mellow trout]

You get a checkpoint every floor ending in 3,6,9,0

[nimble spruce]

Summit checkpoints work the same regardless of difficulty afaik

[mellow trout]

Yep

[elfin holly]

Hi everyone, for some reason when I am doing the Theo Parnell manhunt missions, I am on scout 2 3rd mission, the one where you need to get ability kills, and it went up to 4, and now it won’t go up no matter what I do, does anybody know the issue?

[nimble spruce]

Did you leave the specified area? Each week has a designated region of DC within which all the tasks have to be completed.

[elfin holly]

Oh no that was the problem thanks so much for the help!

[inner tendon]

It's accurate once you've worked out the efficient way of getting Stars is XP, not "kill 30 rikers whilst wearing a hat and hopping on one foot".

[coral surge]

The target loot in constitution hall is that a rilfe or AR?

[gray mason]

Rifle

[coral surge]

thx

[gray mason]

If you hold the mouse over the area, you can see the info in the text at the top right corner 😉

[coral surge]

ah thx thx

Oh I was only looking at the text in the left area

hehhehe

[dapper elbow]

Since the general chat is devolving into a cesspit i figured i'd ask this here. I read something about the backbone backpack being switched from skill tier to armor about a year ago, however every one of them i pick up lately has skill tier. I'm guessing that change was reverted or something? Reason being is i'm trying to find one with crit hit damage and crit hit chance on it so i can put armor on the backpack itself, however two weeks of countdown and i have yet to find it.

[rugged stratus]

It was also affecting empress bags. They swapped it back and forth a couple times and just settled with the current main core.

[dapper elbow]

That makes sense, its rather dissappointing since it makes finding what i need more difficult but i figured something like that had happened.

[rugged stratus]

Yeah it's kinda a dumb thing. Its like they call default drop attributes from the same database/configuration entry

There was a lot more people using empress than backbone so they just settled with the least impact

[dapper elbow]

It's turning out to be a real pain in the rear end lol. All i'm missing for the build i'm making is backbone with armor/crit hit and crit dmg and zero f's with weapon dmg / crit hit and crit dmg.

Also took me about 72 runs of jefferson to get the coyotes mask, i got so many sawyer kneepads that i damn near lost my mind. My buddy joins me, gets it on the first drop.

[rugged stratus]

Yeah them unicorns will get ya sometimes.
Wait till you're farming a yellow setup, or yellow courier 🦄

[inner tendon]

Before LD comments on using JTC to farm out Coyotes, I just want to caution every one that the wrong info is everwhere.

[dapper elbow]

Yeah i gave up on full yellow setups.

[rugged stratus]

If you have the blueprints it can be alot easier. Just expensive

I had to make 4 setups, skill haste/hazpro/skilltier for my hazpro cc ep for 4x agents

[dapper elbow]

Well i did read on reddit somewhere and albiet reddit can be wrong, that until you get coyotes the first time it will not be in the exotic cache drop pool, which is why i farmed the hell out of JTC. I eventually got it and in the long run i got a good chunk of exp/materials so i'm not too annoyed by it. Especially since it's a very easy mission to run anyways.

[odd condor]

yes Reddit is very decisively wrong in this case

[dapper elbow]

I'd be fine with the blue print route, however i do not believe there is a blueprint for backbone or zero f's

[rugged stratus]

Didnt even see that part.
I start typing and 20 years later I have one of.my essays and miss half the channel chat

[dapper elbow]

Glad i'm not the only one that does that lmao

[inner tendon]

Don't worry, I'm a freakishly fast typer when I wanna be, so I often speed-through and miss info too :p

[odd condor]

Getting through enough Descent to wherever it is where you get the caches with named item blueprints can give you a Zero Fs blueprint, but you can't get a Backbone blueprint that way for now

[dapper elbow]

I believe that comes from games like this, where sometimes you gotta get info out quick ingame while running a mission, it kind of just hones your typing.

[odd condor]

As someone who is still not good at Descent I have 0 (zero) named blueprints acquired that way

[dapper elbow]

Why did you have to say descent. I avoid that moreso than santa in the summit. I'm tired of him popping around a random corner when i'm low hp and clothslining me.

[inner tendon]

Oh nah, mine comes from not being talky, and doing my communication via text.

I'm also a very fast actual writer.

[rugged stratus]

Yellow sacrifice and yellow grupo pieces as well... gotta have a 🦄 mortar build, or 4

[dapper elbow]

Well that makes two of us. I hate vc/phones. So i communicate via text, otherwise they can email me and i might respond sometime within the next year.

[rugged stratus]

I'm just stuck with these old man hands, slow af and mess up every 3rd word 👴 .

[dapper elbow]

I do have another random question.

[rugged stratus]

You know you're getting old when you gotta ctrl+scroll up on everything

[dapper elbow]

When i choose to optimize something, it takes the mats but does nothing. It's like i have to optimize the stat twice for it to actually do what i want it to do.

Am i missing something?

[rugged stratus]

It's a set step up for each opt. Sometimes your first is a really small cost to get to the next step

[dapper elbow]

Ah, i see.

[rugged stratus]

Then it's normal increments

[dapper elbow]

Well that just tells me i may as well farm double the required mats just in case.

[rugged stratus]

I would only opt unicorns. Most if the time if it isnt 100% itll still work well and give you time to farm a better piece

[dapper elbow]

Well i guess once the servers are fixed i'll log in and get back to grinding either way.

[tough mural]

Hey what are these Master levels or what their called, i just got up with my P416, where can i see what it does ?

[pseudo tundra]

expertise?

[gray mason]

Once you reach Proficiency Level 10, you can start to upgrade the weapon in question with Expertise (+1% weapon damage per level)

[sudden matrix]

#ask-td2-community message

This is pinned in this channel btw

[tough tinsel]

Hello i would like to bring my projects to 100%. Currently I have 23 of 26 but can't find out which ones I'm still missing 🫠

[tough mural]

Thank you !

[alpine granite]

what brand and piece gave 100% pulse res?

i think it was gloves but i need em for a pvp build

running a sniper build and getting pulsed is annoying

[sudden matrix]

Spec, yaahl brand, 1 mod.

It's best to not hit 100% tho because you don't get the "you've been pulsed" message, if you get a mod that's 9.9 you'll still see the message but not be pulsed.

[nova trout]

Best against heartbreaker solos

Or spotter builds

[cedar schooner]

From what I’ve heard Hearbreaker can still stack on you if you’re not at a 100%.

[sudden matrix]

Maybe, you can always swap the mod if you are fighting HB boiz tho.

[alpine granite]

people that run in pvp need to seriously stop going in the dark zone

theres way better farming methods

[sudden matrix]

You want less people in the DZ? You do wanna PVP right?

[cedar schooner]

Like people that run away?

[sudden matrix]

The DZ is a PVPVE thing, you choose your own thing. They do have conflict.

[alpine granite]

oh hell no conflict is ran by one clan i keep running into that they actually blatantly hack

nope conflict is a no go

[tough mural]

To farm the Nemesis pieces i have to wait for every stronghold to get invaded, aka 3 weeks ?

[slim elk]

Not really. You can go to Tidal Basin to get the first piece from Adrestia, then wait until GWH gets invaded and get the blueprint. Once you have the blueprint you'll be able to farm it with MMR TL.

[tough mural]

Okay thanks, sorry what means MMR TL ?

[slim elk]

marskman rifle Targeted Loot.

[tough mural]

Thanks 👌

[rugged stratus]

Just to add, any week manning zoo is invaded, you can get a random, missing piece dropped

[tough mural]

Oh okay good to know, from a specific boss or as mission reward ?

[rugged stratus]

I think it's the last boss, but could be mission reward. Itll list in rewards when you look at details

[tough mural]

Will look, thanks !

[slim elk]

mission reward*

[dull inlet]

hey guys! Is there any way to get the Lexighton AR now? Or at least is there any chance they would bring back the veteran rewards? I've been playing since beta on and off but I took a break because of IRL reasons. Would love to have that gun since I've played Div1 as well. Thank you!!

[dapper elbow]

Liquid Engineer is Belstone Armory right?

[barren maple]

I think so

[dapper elbow]

Thanks. Just read its a DZ exclusive except in named caches, looks like all of my countdown tokens are going towards those lol

[barren maple]

Could go with descent for the blueprint, it’s currently reanimated so try and farm red stars for named item caches

[dapper elbow]

I'd rather pull my toenails out with a pair of pliars than go to descent lol. But i'll keep that in mind.

[barren maple]

Same ngl

[wheat berry]

no

[dull inlet]

thanks!

[wheat berry]

np

[muted rose]

where does st elmo drop

just any ar targetted loot?

[delicate mountain]

Yes, targeted, you can knock it out in the countdown

[wheat berry]

its in the general lootpool so you can technically get it anywhere

although you have a higher chance from ar targeted areas

ive gotten a fair amount of them from dz aswell

[snow cargo]

If it isn't your mailbox or when you first logged in or your not lvl 40 already... Bad news we don't think they're gonna do anything has of now.

[muted rose]

do people have the same targeted loot, like if its kneepads up west for me would it be kneepads for my friend too?

[slim elk]

no, everyone has their own TL

[junior sequoia]

Only on countdown and summit, right?

[slim elk]

uh yeah

[junior sequoia]

I guess you are talking about the open world, so yes it's s the same for everyone.

[worldly fjord]

All targeted loot at lvl 40 is the same iirc, missions and open world both

[limpid osprey]

Is there a reward system for PvP? do you need to grind out ranks? i can only do quickplay atm

[snow cargo]

You're talking about conflict right?

[limpid osprey]

Yeah

[worldly fjord]

Cosmetics every 10 conflict levels, up to 99 or 100

[hasty gust]

hi guys does anyone know how i can get the lexington ar?

[mellow trout]

It's not obtainable anymore

[slim elk]

what naval said

[fathom acorn]

isn't the server condition strange?

[tough marsh]

huh?

[coral surge]

get the St elmo's engine, it pretty similar in stats and looks and if anything it is probably better

[wheat berry]

do I lose anything by completing summit floor 100 on normal instead of heroic?

i just couldnt bother dealing with hunters on heroic 😂

[mellow trout]

Worse loot and that's basically it

[nocturne siren]

@coral surge St Elmo's works good, Eagle Bearer, Chameleon. Lexington isn't currently obtainable at the moment, but the next best AR would be the FAMAS with Killer talent on it

Does slightly less damage than the Lexington, fires faster and has the best burst DPS for an AR in the game

[coral surge]

I'm big fan of FAMAS but I started using St Elmo's when I got it and I like it more because it has more optimal range than the FAMAS

[nocturne siren]

Shoots straighter than the FAMAS for it's recoil pattern (increasing vertical sensitivity is a great way to fight recoil)

[wispy merlin]

famas reload got nerfed slightly

[coral surge]

ah k thx for the info

[nocturne siren]

Hardly noticable for me

[wispy merlin]

it's still great, just that other guns catch up to it like even the base police m4

[nocturne siren]

P416 is back now too ain't it?

[wispy merlin]

yeah the point is they're all great

[nocturne siren]

Been loving that gun

[coral surge]

back how?

buffed?

[wispy merlin]

I'm just feeling nostalgic so running police m4 rn

[mellow trout]

iirc it got an rof buff a little while back

[coral surge]

Oh really I'm all about high ROF hehhee

[nocturne siren]

Due to the project resolve meta, ARs were focused around St Elmo's, FAMAS, f2k, Police m4. Now that a good number of solid ARs got tickled, Elmo's is mid. FAMAS is still kicking, f2k is pure trash and police m4 is still okay

[coral surge]

I only use weapons that have at least 850RPM

[nocturne siren]

Eagle Bearer did more damage too for a more rewarding talent. They nerfed it

Did give it a crit mod buff tho

[nocturne siren]

P416 has solid fire rate. FAMAS and f2k tho have near 900-1000 @coral surge

[coral surge]

yep

[nocturne siren]

One gun I did start checking out was the G36C, hits decent. Felt like a German version of Police M4 tho just hits slightly harder and shoots a little bit slower

I think you'll be sitting at about 750 - 800 rpm on that one

[coral surge]

Something that really makes me use the St Elmo's aside from the firerate and stability is that it has 70 bullets in the mag this is just awsome for an AR

[nocturne siren]

The mag size for damage is immaculate for the st Elmo's, I love the mag size. I dislike they nerfed EB damage. It has 10 less bullets but a slightly stronger talent. But it's locked behind a raid or rare 1% dz chance. It should be stronger

[wispy merlin]

elmo still unironically net buffed due to police m4 base buff

sometimes you look for mag damage, elmo is hard to beat in this regard

saying that, burst damage is still king

[nocturne siren]

Everything division 2 is all about burst DPS. It's why people in dark zone have started running ravenous frequently now. The talent basically gives it the best burst DPS

It's commonly used on the razorback in DH raids as well (including ones I host)

[coral surge]

It is amazing how people change, when I started playing my first person shooter I disliked the burst rifles now I only play with burst rifles in any game that has them

I mean a 3 burst rifle

[iron zinc]

Can someone tell me how I find on map the projects im tracking ?

[delicate mountain]

for example?

[snow cargo]

Same. Confused at the question. More context plz!

[iron zinc]

For ex objectives to unlock specialty. Top right corner of screen it tells me what to do . Fot ex take out this character. But how do i know where that is

[coral surge]

What is the project telling u to do?

[iron zinc]

For*

Dont recall exactly now. Ill send a screen shot when I log on soon

[delicate mountain]

I opened it a long time ago, but isn't it indicated there? For example, a Wyvern in Tidal??!

[rugged stratus]

if youre talking about spec objectives itll usually say something like, example, remove all basilisk armor before killing.. it should say something about roosevelt on that one. if it doesnt list missions, you can do a search for a named boss on google itll tell you what mision to find them

[delicate mountain]

Just don't forget to switch the mission! If the tusks are invading, there will be another character

[iron zinc]

Will send screen shot soon for clarity. Another question if I may ask, why are some missions icon on map red

[tardy helm]

Anyone down to help me grind for a bighorn?

[delicate mountain]

The invasion, it's new every week

[iron zinc]

Ah ok thx

Take that as ex. I track on screen and then what ?

And does treck on screen just mean that it stays on screen in corner till I complete ?

[delicate mountain]

Liberation! capture control points

[iron zinc]

Wish it just say control points and was easier to see on map but I see. thx to all who responded

[tulip fiber]

Yes

[teal hinge]

anyone know if this stacks with cluster grenades?

[storm idol]

Is there a table for how much proficiency is needed for each expertise level?

[flint hare]

it a number below ur expertise lvl. It's ..../100 for exemple if u want to pass expertise lvl 2

[storm idol]

So it doesnt scale?

[mellow trout]

Some levels need more some less

[flint hare]

👆

[stuck frigate]

Why doesn't tracking specialization on screen work?

[rugged stratus]

Its variable as you get higher. Your #/90 represents total proficiency for next expertise.
Each proficient item represents 10 increments on that figure. It looks at any gains, you can technically hit expertise 24 if you have every item 9/10, with nothing fully proficient

[weary junco]

It should do. I'm not on the game though to check. Maybe it showed up when I tracked it but then disappeared until I did something for it. I'll have to check later

[muted rose]

should i care more about my chc or chd

[wispy merlin]

you need both

[muted rose]

yeah but like

what should I do first

[tiny stump]

chc

[muted rose]

i got 50% chc and only 69% chd rn

[stuck frigate]

It doesn't stay ''stickied'' sadly, like the other things do. It only shows briefly when I do something for it.

[weary junco]

Yeah that is how I remembered it aswell. That's a little annoying

[proper plover]

What version of a phone or tablet do I need

[cedar yacht]

Look up the spec for it. Its not even out yet.

[rugged stratus]

You could have all the chd in the world and it wodnt improve the build. Chc determines how many of your shots crit. Dump all the watch points and weapon mods available into chc. After that you use your secondary rolls to hit desired chc. 50chc coyote/60chc else/40-50chc if abusing retribution modifier.

Once you hit desired chc, dump all else to chd

[sweet garnet]

what should I do when I hit level 40? DZ for exotics? raids? Im not really too sure

[nimble spruce]

look up builds to work towards (see pinned spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice), farm for the pieces (countdown is the top farming place for most items), fill your recalibration library, work up the difficulties

[sweet garnet]

thank youuu

[nimble spruce]

lvl 3 and 4 control points reward you with blueprints, there's a lot to earn and some of htem are really useful, so that's also something to be getting on with once you've got a build that can handle them

[nocturne siren]

alrighty, im on the last mission for Journey 7 : defeat the nemesis. how in the hell can i speedrun descent and kill the nemesis so i can finally be done with this season once and for all?

[zinc hemlock]

So, I know how to look for matchmaking, but how do you put your current world into queue for others to join?

[nocturne siren]

i think call for backup? unsure

or make party privacy set to open

[delicate mountain]

It is necessary to be lucky in talents, weapons and others

[delicate mountain]

this?

[nocturne siren]

im currently speedrunning whatever i manage to get. i got reviver hive immediately 😂

[zinc hemlock]

Ah, thanks. Will try that.

[sweet garnet]

should I do countdown by myself or with other players

[weak meteor]

Any word on the busted 5x XP for players? Been grinding CP for 2 hours and getting nothing

[delicate mountain]

What is your level?Have you reached LVL 40?

[spring moss]

hey guys does matchmaking ever work for iron horse raid? or should i try find a group through discord?

[delicate mountain]

It's better in discord!random players in the raid are.....!(((

[pseudo tundra]

mathmaking in game is only available for the discovery mode that cuts back on mechanic and doesnt give any unique rewards

better try this server or community ones for the matchmaking

[spring moss]

got it will do ty 😄

[tough marsh]

If you're new to the Descent, I would not recommend rushing. Pick medium rooms all the way and you'll get there at a reasonable pace.

[robust pine]

For eclipse protocol fire/burn build, is it better to build status effects or skill damage on attributes?

[tough marsh]

Sadly there is no fix for it. It's a long-standing bug which the Devs made no effort to address.

[tough marsh]

Status effects as primary attribute, then skill haste

[robust pine]

Status effects on how many pieces? Or all pieces and then mod for skill haste?

[tough marsh]

All of them

[robust pine]

Ok, then mod for skill haste?

[tough marsh]

High end gears have 2 attribute slots; put status effects/skill haste on them

[robust pine]

Should I run caesar's guard?

[tough marsh]

Gearsets only have 1, so only put status effects on them

[nocturne siren]

I've played decent a few times. I absolutely hate the mode as a solo player. When my buddy and I ran it as a duo, it was insanely easy. Same talent rotations as when we ran it back then as well

My problem is that I really don't wanna do decent but it's my last mission for my journey. Just wanna get it done and over with 😩

[tough marsh]

I see

[nimble spruce]

with others: matchmake for it on Challenging difficulty, and don't bring a skill build since most skills can get hacked and turned against you. It'll seem a bit overwhelming at first but follow the crowd and you'll figure it out with time

[nocturne siren]

^^ never do VIP and always make sure to call the helicopter at the end at the last 6 seconds of the timer!

[weak meteor]

11,599 SHD

[muted rose]

i do 10 secondd

we nearly forgot to once at 2 seconds but im the clutch king

[twin swallow]

what am I doing wrong on the kenly farm? there is a random elite that always spawns now on the left and throws everything off. I haven't seen this is any guides or videos

[muted rose]

whats diffculty are you playing on

[twin swallow]

I think I figured out the problem - I needed to change some mods out to increase its duration and generally setup faster - I think my clouds were diappearing before they came in

still dont know the elite though

yeah that had to be it - increased the duration by 3ish seconds and the initials shots stick around long enough

[kindred ice]

Hi. What is the "correct" way to kill manning zoo legendary end boss?
So far I've only seen "silly" way to kill them by "hugging" them lol

[sweet garnet]

where do i get fox's kneepads? ive been trying to get one and im being told different things by multiple different sources

[muted rose]

targetted loot

id either pray its on a mission tmrw or set the brand on countdown and matchmake on challenging

[inner tendon]

^Specifically: Countdown on Challenging, Overlord TL (targeted loot).

[sweet garnet]

ok thank you

[wheat berry]

I think all Emeline Shaw really needed was a hug..

the conditions on Roosevelt Island weren't forgiving

[somber pumice]

Does EXP accumulate/pile over at level 40 if my friend hasnt completed Warlords of NY? If no then could we complete it by just taking him to Keener directly?

[lucid narwhal]

yes it dose

[wary spoke]

What's the fastest way to earn XP for Reanimated?

[delicate mountain]

Carry out activities-propaganda, control tasks
dots and stuff, with 2-4 directives

[slim elk]

Pins.

[storm idol]

How much is the xp boost?

[mellow trout]

5x up to 1000 levels

[inner tendon]

It should be clarified: 1000 SHD Levels. You don't get it whilst below that.
So there's no point in trying to speed-farm a Watch Mule.

[formal solar]

Idk if this the place to ask, but do I need WoNY to progress past level 30 or can-do I need to do the strongholds first?

[nimble spruce]

you don't need WONY to reach lvl 40 any more. Story-wise after completing Capitol building at or above lvl 30 you should do the 4 invaded strongholds (the 4th will unlock after you complete the first 3)

[formal solar]

Thanks for a straight answer. Now to get gear that's survivable and weapons with DPS I guess. Where to farm for them is probably the next question

[muted rose]

what level do you gotta be to have all your shd things maxed

[mellow trout]

1000

[odd condor]

1000

[sudden matrix]

1000

[wispy merlin]

999

[rugged stratus]

not wrong 😂

[nimble spruce]

Matchmake for countdown on challenging with your preference of target loot

[distant bobcat]

Does the 5x XP also counts for under 40?

[pseudo tundra]

nope

[open mountain]

wish it did 💔

[spring moss]

hey guys i have to do a elite terrotory control activity but i did a terrotory control activity and it didnt complete i also cant see a elite difficulty so what do i do?

can anyone help please im stuck lol

[junior sequoia]

usually there is an elite terrytory control near the washington monument.

[odd condor]

Elite territory control activities have a ring around the regular territory control icon. There usually is one slightly south of the Ellipse Fuel Station control point

[delicate mountain]

There is also in NY, near the boat station, very often

[spring moss]

ty guys will take a look 😄

[ionic prawn]

does someone know what best settings are for the gtx 970 my good gpu died so i dont know what settings are best and smooth

[nocturne siren]

are the division 2 servers having insanely bad latency issues? i can barely load the game. unsure if its my internet or Division 2 itself

i can load everything else fine

[ionic prawn]

idk more people have that problem if you read back in general

[nocturne siren]

whats a good place to find engineers? on my last mission

[cedar yacht]

Only via cassie or making alt char

[delicate mountain]

they wrote that at the space research center, there are many

[pale remnant]

sup peeps,, so we are trying to do kenly college for the first time,,, and we have tried about 6 times now,, over the past 2 nights,, and the echos just keep bugging out and we cant progress the investigation,, any fixes

[nimble spruce]

no, unfortunately there's an exploit in Kenly that many people are abusing for slightly faster xp gain, which causes major lag on the Kenly servers, which is likely what's causing your bug

[pale remnant]

thats lame,, was super excited to do a new thing in the game and now its ruined

[nocturne siren]

also likely why the servers are being slow as hell rn too

[rugged stratus]

probably contributing

[open mountain]

i would just do the tanks

then farm the dcd hq tanks

[nocturne siren]

ive found true sons have engineers frequently

replaying true sons missions and CP's

[open mountain]

or that

[nocturne siren]

about fkn time guys 😭

this journey was NOT worth it

[slim elk]

what are these fkn journey missions holy shit

[nocturne siren]

once you get to 4, 5, 6 and 7, it gets really tedious. You'll be replaying missions until your eyes bleed

[spring moss]

hey guys can you only donate so many items to expertise per day or something?

i cant donate any more junk to expertise doesnt seem to be working, am i bugged?

[tough marsh]

Lol you actually skipped Descent

[inner tendon]

I'd be interested to see the stats on how many players did the same thing.

It's gotta be in the high %'s.

[nocturne siren]

I played 4h solo making it all the way to nemesis just to die every damn time. I even took my time with my BUDDY today and we were cruising. Beautiful run. Made it to nemesis, things were going fine, then we BOTH got shocked and dropped fast. We don't know how, it was instantaneous. I gave up for a few hours and came up with a plan: I needed retribution. Badly. Managed to get it. Ran true sons factions missions till my eyes bled

[nocturne siren]

I'll happily post mine

[inner tendon]

2 posts doesn't really do a lot for a fair data representation, but I love your enthusiasm.

[nocturne siren]

Reasonable, it would make for a really interesting playerbase poll

[tough marsh]

4 hours Nemesis run, I have questions

[nocturne siren]

4 runs each 1h

[tough marsh]

Damn

[nocturne siren]

I do well for a while, nemesis appears, I get halfway to killing nem and I get 1 tapped every damn time doesn't help talent RNG been bad either

[inner tendon]

I've not taken averages, but that seems....long.

[mellow trout]

This rotation doesn't seem too bad

[nocturne siren]

Descent ain't my thing. Dislike it heavily. Fun once in a while

[nocturne siren]

Nah it's got good talents but when the game throws ass tier talents at you like skill haste and protected reload and crit damage but no crit chance

Yeah nah that's borderline impossible

[mellow trout]

Worst comes to worst you can load your stuff with special ammo

[nocturne siren]

My best run started me off with reviver. HUGE. I made it to nemesis, had him 75% dead, I got blinded and 2 tapped

[nocturne siren]

I even went ahead and counted kills to ensure my amp damage status talents give me a major advantage off the start

Idk either major skill issue or the game is giving me bad luck 😂

[tough marsh]

Did you have any utility skills like foam?

Can't go wrong with foam

[nocturne siren]

Yup, had blinder firefly and foam when I ran with my buddy today

STILL wasn't enough. We lit him on fire too

(yes there's 2 when you play with 2 people)

Honestly with journey 7 if you complete the objectives I completed, it's probably the most relaxing part of the journey. Descent made me want to uninstall and throw my setup out the window

[mellow trout]

What are the apparel items you get aside from the mask anyway

[tough marsh]

Nothing

The frustrations are the friends you made along the way

[mellow trout]

Bruh

So when it says vest/kneepad/whatever item it just means gear

[tough marsh]

It's Virtuoso

[mellow trout]

😐

[tough marsh]

Yeah, not even their blueprints

Just... Gear

[mellow trout]

The last reconstructed cache I opened gave me the blueprint for cabaret and that's still more useful than just gear

[tough marsh]

The Descent is the reason why I don't simp for the countdown vendor anymore, waiting for the right time to get the DZ-exclusive gear I want. I just.... craft them

[crimson abyss]

What is lowest your skill haste could go for turret I'm currently at 11.5 seconds with 141.8%

[rugged stratus]

its really not worth more than 100% haste. you could use rigger if you want to kill cooldown on turret/drone. or you could use hardwire to also pust a really short cooldown

but for the record 😂

[crimson abyss]

I was just curious like the turret doesn't go down to like 8 seconds but yes that's technically what I'm looking for is how many seconds is the lowest cordon you could get on a turret

[rugged stratus]

check out the rigger bag talent. itll let you cancel the cooldown when you destroy before its finished

if its just for turret/drone setup dump most of your attributes into damage and just stagger when you destroy one so something is always up

[crimson abyss]

I love xp days I wish we had this for optimization days

[rugged stratus]

no doubt. it never gets any cheaper XD

[crimson abyss]

im only lv 8 in expertise i would love to get current gear all 8 and skills

[mellow trout]

If it makes you feel any better it's only worth doing on weapons and select skills

[rugged stratus]

save on the gear, not worth adding upgrades

some of the skills are even a waste

i would go as far as only adding to most used skills and prime weapons with the talents able to roll as metas change

[crimson abyss]

No offense to the OG people I mean I'm original but I played on Playstation 4 and I switched to PC in 24 But you see those youtube videos now and they are one shot to enemies i wanna be that strong

[rugged stratus]

one shots are generally determined headhunter builds. especially this week 😉

very easy to make and use. regulus headhunter is another story

same with non-determined hh variants

[mellow trout]

HHF supremacy

[rugged stratus]

only this week. we be back in a couple days

[mellow trout]

Golden bullet soon 😈

[crimson abyss]

currently how i run with armor on kill

[rugged stratus]

oh i got something you may like then 😎

[crimson abyss]

I kind of wish you go to a website select a build that you like and then gives you the blueprint of the gear and pops up with a special color or something you know we're running around collecting gear you found the piece that matches the blueprint

[rugged stratus]

20%-30%aok (mop shotgun has 10% aok when in hand and free rollable talent 😉 )

with high damage output

[crimson abyss]

what stats do you go for on gear haste and damage

[rugged stratus]

there is a pinned spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice with a lot of the main line builds. pve/pvp/raid all represented

yeah, skill damage/haste, pfe mods but thats could easily be haste

i also have something similar to your memento setup, but with crit rolls . i dont think picaros is prefered at this point , but its an old ss

[crimson abyss]

i have memto and ninja on me to switch

[nocturne siren]

Honestly I'd say Picaros is still best in slot on that setup

Can't think of any better holster there besides fenris rolled to yellow

Ditching what, 10% Skill haste for an additional loss of 10% WD... Only to get back your AR Damage with the loss still of 10% skill haste???

Unsure if 5% would be that big of a difference tho. It is a sit idle build... Ish?

[rugged stratus]

i was thinking possibly 3 hanna wyvern, trade 8% eff and some haste for 15WD

[nocturne siren]

I'd say that's an equally strong setup more so for quicker skill uptime with WD

[rugged stratus]

alot of the efficiency isnt used in that setup anyways, but thats a lkot of farming

[nocturne siren]

Does efficiency boost damage? Can't remember if it does

[rugged stratus]

it boosts all skill buckets

[nocturne siren]

I feel like 8% is huge at ST6

[rugged stratus]

2hanna/1wy cover the same skill damage output tho

just lose duration/haste/health...

[nocturne siren]

They buffed Hanna ye or no?

Skill builds got completely stashed for me except healers and raids

[rugged stratus]

i dont think, but its trading for constrained attributes with ability to put some extra weapon damage in

[nocturne siren]

You'd be trading skill uptime for more upfront damage on your gun

[rugged stratus]

yeah, i like a few

[nocturne siren]

I like that

Striker and turret last a long time anyways

[rugged stratus]

turret and drone dont need the extra tho, which is my thinking anyways

[nocturne siren]

Drone benefits from the duration mod overall (helps HUGE in pvp/e. Definitely farm a max drone duration mod)

oml I've got a really stupid idea I wish I didn't have 💀💀💀💀💀💀 you've just given me the dumbest idea talking about drones

I'm gonna go burn the kitchen down brb

[tough marsh]

Drone does last a long time, but it's just squishy

[bitter basalt]

Looking for someone to help me grind levels in open world????? I'm on ps5 right now needing help. Preferably in the global event for stars. My psn is xMorphinee-

[patent galleon]

Hey all, need some help for the Comms for Shades of Red. I have 2 agents, I did the first few weeks on manhunt on one, and some on the other. Now what has happened is that only the agent that I had done that particular week with has those Comms. Any idea how I can get all comms on all of my agents?

[mellow trout]

Id imagine they'll let you reset the hunt after the climax comes out

Previous manhunts now drop Comms from bosses too so probs the same with this one

[patent galleon]

Wouldn't that be difficult to track, as to what week comms are pending. They should have left the progress for each agent separate! Would have been much easier to track.

[rugged stratus]

lets us know if someone needs to to call the fire dept 🚒

[crimson abyss]

man i went from 400 something to 540 tonight

[sweet garnet]

where are the stairs back up

[unkempt osprey]

Anyone able to explain what the hunters are came back to the game after not playing since before warlords of new york. Im doing the ridgeways pride project i need to kill 2 hunters and have no clue what to do, do i just have to run summit again? Or am i missing an easier way to get this done.

[odd condor]

doing Summit Floor 100 again by matchmaking with someone who has that checkpoint, or a floor 90 something one

[unkempt osprey]

ok ill try that. thank you

[crude barn]

Is the stinger lmg still attainable?

[mellow trout]

Yes and no

Have to get referred

So if you've played for a decent bit then no

[next perch]

i have already done over 5 activities but nothing.what am i doing wrong??

[inner tendon]

the 3rd Activity there is "complete 1 Bounty".
You see on the list that you've already done the activities?

@next perch If you have no available bounties, run a Public Execution/Hostage Rescue, and that'll give you one.

[delicate mountain]

you need liquidations

[next perch]

liquidations?

[slim elk]

translation mistake
Public Executions as Rivens said

[noble jay]

Hi guys! Sorry if this has been asked many times already, how can I maximize level gain as a new 27 lvl player while the 5x event is active? What is the best activity to do?

[next perch]

yeah i did that too.no go\

maybe i try logging in and out 🤔

[delicate mountain]

Maybe another neighborhood?

[slim elk]

XP events are only for lvl40 characters, not below

[delicate mountain]

any activity, propaganda,capture of points, 2-4 directives,liquidation!

[noble jay]

Ahhh, feeling dumb now, thank you

[slim elk]

nah don't be, it's okay to ask

[delicate mountain]

Oh, yes, you need to raise your lvl! I

[noble jay]

So mostly open-world activities, noted

[delicate mountain]

well yes

[storm idol]

Do we get exp events regularly or is it a rare thing?

[next perch]

just did black tusk publie execution in west potomac.still nothing

[flint hare]

u need to speak to a ostage then it gives u a bounty

[flint hare]

here to find mate #lfg-playstation

[next perch]

Ah ok
Will try that
Cause I already completed the bounty before that.

[frank wren]

Hi! The 3 projects you are missing are Priority: Invaded Mission 1, 2 and 3. They were tied to the world tiers before they were entirely removed from the game and you had to complete invaded missions (from the Black Tusk Invasion tab) to unlock every stronghold. Each stronghold gave you the project at the end. I have the same problem and I have been reaching out to Ubisoft with a video recording. I'm awaiting further information from them as they have been answering my query.

[tough tinsel]

Thank you! 🙂

[frank wren]

You're welcome! My video has just been transferred to the dedicated teams and they will investigate as to why we haven't received these 3 projects. 😁

[gray echo]

Bounties, projects, and missions.

[coral surge]

every how long do the world bosses respawn?

[gray echo]

What do you mean by world bosses?

[coral surge]

there is named bosses in world

[gray echo]

Oh them? Their random encounters.

You just happen upon them whenever. You can meet 4 of them back to back, or see one every few days. It really just depends

[coral surge]

ah ok thx thx

[gray echo]

The fastest way to fight named bosses in the open world would be bounties. Of course there are random encounter specific ones that can only have their cards collected once you find them while just running around.

[coral surge]

good idea thx

[gray echo]

If you run everywhere (if it's within a reasonable distance of course.) then you'll run into them often.

[cedar yacht]

30m or an 1hour they respawn

[gray echo]

Running around spawns them most often for me. Usually when I'm on my way to do stuff like a bounty or a world activity like an execution

[ember seal]

How did he even do that. Has to be cheating.

[pseudo tundra]

rule 12 about naming and shaming, even as jokes i would say to avoid doing this kind of thing

can always contact support if you wish to report someone in game

[tough mural]

What exactly did you need to do to get the Lexington ? I restarted the game 2 weeks ago, but i played the beta and ca. 200 hours when it came out

[gray mason]

Sadly 👉🏽 #division-tweets message

[tough mural]

What a shame 😭 thanks

[coral surge]

ty ty

[narrow kraken]

Is the Chameleon exotic AR still a valid exotic to use because I’m making mag size, weapon damage, and even ammo cap builds but it’s still just anti climatic and not holding up like some other exotic AR’s

[delicate mountain]

How can I increase my store size??

[coral surge]

what is ur storage size now?

[narrow kraken]

It’s a thing you can buy either the guy who gives you different skills at the White House immediately to the left after you enter but I think you need SHD tech and it caps at like 300 size

[pseudo tundra]

upgrades at the white house increases your storage size

[coral surge]

so the max is 300 right?

[pseudo tundra]

at the quartermaster/perk options

yeah

[coral surge]

I havent plays this game in a while and want to make sure

[narrow kraken]

I’m pretty sure

[coral surge]

thx

[pseudo tundra]

could be a case of wrong translation

[narrow kraken]

Yeah

[pseudo tundra]

but in general chameleon got a buff

not absurdly huge

but easier to activate the talent

[coral surge]

My shield has 3.7M health and when I equip the holster forge which gives 50% more health to shield its health only goes up to 4M, shouldnt it go up over 5M?

[narrow kraken]

It’s 50% if 3.7M

[coral surge]

so y does it go up to 4M only

[narrow kraken]

It takes like 50% of the 3.7MI’m pretty sure and just adds it onto the 3.7M

[pseudo tundra]

it's 50% of the base health

[narrow kraken]

That’s what it dose with my weapon

[pseudo tundra]

not of the skill total

if the shield was at tier 0 i mean

[coral surge]

I tried unequiping and equiping and nothing

[narrow kraken]

That makes sense

[coral surge]

oooo ok ok thx everyone

makes sense now

[narrow kraken]

I feel like the harvest pistol should be a exotic because if how hard it hits and how you get it

Because it’s like the lady death exotic SMG

[coral surge]

So how much health should I get if I equip the holster forge which gives 50%

[delicate mountain]

He's slow, and some players don't think he's very accurate.)

[coral surge]

this with the forge holster

[pseudo tundra]

no unique talent

which is part of teh point

[open mountain]

they shouldn’t make it exotic either

basically regulus 2 but no booms

[narrow kraken]

True but you have to go around DC to find the loot goblin and he can drop either a mask,backpack,sniper,AR,cooler marksman rifle, or the harvest and it’s only one. You don’t even want to know how many of the Oh carol and the Sleigher AR/snipers I have

It feels like going for the lady death SMG you gotta go through the map to hopefully find a elite enemy that’s named kill them and a small chance that you get what your hoping for

[pseudo tundra]

lady death is just an regular exotic drop now

no longer tied to open world only

[narrow kraken]

That’s good ngl so new players or people who don’t have the DLC can get it but it took so long to get it before that and it’s still technically the easiest way to get it

[muted rose]

anyone know a solid rifle to run

[narrow kraken]

I think the diamond back had a 20M body shot damage build

But I don’t have it

[narrow kraken]

Wait like a sniper or a marksman rifle?

[muted rose]

the ones that a techincally automatic but are deemed rifles

[narrow kraken]

Your thinking marksman rifles

None are fully auto but you can hold the trigger to have it soot way faster but most are either you can’t hold the trigger you have to repeatedly press or have a Bi trigger where once you press the trigger and shoots and once you let go it shoots

[muted rose]

yeah do you know any good ones

[narrow kraken]

Off the top of my head the diamond back and the vindicator I’m pretty sure that’s how you spell it bc I have seen some 20M body damage builds and vindicator had all around been a pretty good exotic

Btw both are exotic
Diamond Back: the collage or DZ/exotic crates (I’m pretty sure)

Vindicator: 350 coins you get from decent in the shop

[hidden widget]

What would be a good talent to to put on this? Got it out of DZ.

[narrow kraken]

Probably a talent that gives stacks for armor or damage

[narrow kraken]

I’m only saying that bc most ppl I see who are killing every enemy or player in open world or DZ has a talent of their LMG that gives stacks for damage or armor

[hidden widget]

Ok thank you

I’ll see what I got

[narrow kraken]

Np but don’t take it from me really just put in what you think is good and try out different stuff to see what’s works best for you and your play at

You should decide what you want on it

[rugged stratus]

dont need harvest. regular 686 magnum is still better damage than a d50, and works quite well

[narrow kraken]

True but your probably a way higher rank so your drops for normal stuff will be higher than the some what set stats of the event drop

[rugged stratus]

how do you figure?

[narrow kraken]

My liberty exotic pistol I just crafted and got the stats for damage to max still dose like 200K less damage than it

[rugged stratus]

rank/level is irrelevant

expertise adds damage but it isnt a game changer

[narrow kraken]

So a lvl 1 player can get a sniper that dose let’s say 1M damage in a control point?

[rugged stratus]

you arent gonna be farming xp as a level 1 player. you aint doing shit as a level 1 other than getting to the white house

now shd 1, yeah, they can do same damage as me minus watch *minus expertise

as an shd 1 on a determined hotshot, chainkiller, vigilance bag you should easily see 22-28mil range on a white death

[narrow kraken]

So let’s say I’m lvl like 40 SHD watch is 350 and a lvl player who just opened the game for the first time today can get a gun for a better drop then me??

[rugged stratus]

you know how rng works?

[narrow kraken]

Yes but the RNG is based on lvl and XP

[rugged stratus]

no. rng is based off difficulty selected and possible directives

but then there is countdown with gives tons and has no directives

[narrow kraken]

The difficulty also helps yes

But you don’t understand a lvl player is not going to get as many high end drops as me even if we are in the same difficulty

[rugged stratus]

ive seen level 100 with way more coherent builds than level 10k ppl at times

[narrow kraken]

1*

[pseudo tundra]

i'm pretty sure some wire got crossed in this conversation already

[rugged stratus]

what matters is your ability to farm and pick the right pieces. anyone can go into a challenging countdown and get a ton of decent gear

[narrow kraken]

But is a lvl 1 going to do that?

No because they can’t get the good gear as fast as a higher lvl player

[rugged stratus]

maybe. someones shd level doesnt play into the items that drop.

[pseudo tundra]

i'm pretty sure he's talking about lv1, as in someone under 40

[rugged stratus]

👆 addressed

[narrow kraken]

Yes I’m talking about that

Not SHD lvl

[rugged stratus]

as a level1, they are better off just getting through the tutorial and reaching 40. no building is worth till you reach shd

arguing here is irrelevant if you havent even made it to the whitehouse , and dont have access to any gear.. no

[narrow kraken]

I’m saying ppl who are low lvl are not getting the good loot that high lvl players

[rugged stratus]

smh🤦‍♂️

[rugged stratus]

why is this an issue in a looter shooter. level process with get them better quality, obv. its not like they are competing with higher level agents in a pve environment

[narrow kraken]

I’m not saying that’s a problem

I’m sayin g the higher the lvl you are the higher and better stats RNG will give you

[rugged stratus]

what is your current level

[narrow kraken]

40

SHD lvl or actual lvl

[rugged stratus]

then the info i originally gave you was valid.. you dont need harvest, 686 magnum just almost as good and can be crafted

[pseudo tundra]

if you are lv 40, whatever you are going to get is pure RNG

[rugged stratus]

this is all a waste

[narrow kraken]

I have farmed and got many magnums and still the harvest is doing more damage

[pseudo tundra]

higher difficulty and other stuff tilts the scale, but it does not remove RNG

[pseudo tundra]

thats the point of harvest, it's theunique stat

[narrow kraken]

I’m saying I’m not getting the same RNG as a low lvl player

[rugged stratus]

sure, its a named item. magnum is almost as good*. fk it, im out XD

[narrow kraken]

Ngl this conversation gave me like aids or the eclipse virus Wana just agree to disagree

[pseudo tundra]

harvest is a special magnum that does more damage for les rof

you would need an extremely bad harvest vs a god rolled magnum to get a better harvest

and magnum is better than the D50

[narrow kraken]

Pls stop im getting aids and eclipse Virus from this Covo 😭

[pseudo tundra]

i might have missed the point, what was the original topic even

[narrow kraken]

Some one who’s like let’s say lvl 40 will get better loot than a lvl 20 player

[pseudo tundra]

no one was claiming that

[rugged stratus]

tbh, i just saw what i interpreted as someone pining over harvest being hard to farm and gave another option. #ask-td2-community message
ill probably just say f it the next time and let someone else help

[narrow kraken]

I’m saying that

[narrow kraken]

It’s definitely not hard to farm just it felt like trying to get the lady death it was just inconvenient

[pseudo tundra]

Gear lv 17 is already miles better than gear lv 13 in terms of stats

Its a waste of time to compare things out of levels

[narrow kraken]

That’s kinda what I’m saying, I’m just trying to say you can’t really say one thing will always be better than something else because you might just be a higher lvl

[pseudo tundra]

Point is that no one even assumes people are comparing things like that in terms of level

Its either you are lv40 or it doesnt matter

[kind cove]

How much longer do we have till end of the season

[gray mason]

Ends in 8 weeks, 1 day, and 8 hours

[narrow kraken]

What's best recommended to spend your event stars on?

[valid bronze]

Can anyone send me the quote on eagles grasp if there is one

[kind cove]

😭

This season never ends

[tough marsh]

Exotic caches

[narrow kraken]

Did they take out the loot goblin he hasn’t spawned for me in a few hours

[pseudo tundra]

he's never out of the game, what they change is if he has seasonal items or not

[narrow kraken]

Oh ok ty

[feral walrus]

what is this green-explosive-poison-kill? can I enable/disable it?

[muted rose]

what did you kill

[mellow trout]

It triggers on headshot kills if you have reanimated on

[dusk sierra]

quick question, my progression for black tusk invasion says 11/12, missing Potomac Event Center, but on the map PEC isn't marked invaded and just says complete..... do i need to redo that mission anyways?

[feral walrus]

new update? I had some headshot before and never seen this green poison. the poison also deplete health in nearby enemies.

[feral walrus]

any enemies.

[dense basalt]

It's the reanimated global event you can turn it off

But it makes the game even easier

Earn stars and spend them at the season vendor by countdown vendor

[wheat berry]

you have to wait until PEC is invaded

I had the same situation with the Air & Space Museum

[coral surge]

I wish the devs would fix the umbra bug, it is quite enoying having to unequip and equip the gear piece every time I leave a safe area

[kind cove]

Its still in the game??

[wispy merlin]

ye

[rugged stratus]

you can disble, if you turn the event off

[open mountain]

there hasn’t been any patches since like dec 3rd iirc 😭

[kind cove]

Bruh

[open mountain]

quite the messed up world

[kind cove]

Least I haven’t missed anything

Classic MSV

[dim spear]

Thay really need to fix this snowball gun/sniper freeze inplace and kill the hole server even 30 seconds after your dead glitch it's totally ruined dz you kill a group twice and it's straight to glitches as soon as thay come back
The dz and pvp is already so full of questionable players these days you add this on top and pvp is in ruins it's not even worth trying for high tier Manny some one will just come in and kill you on a glitch and your entire team can do nothing about it least they can do if thare not gonna ban these guys is fix it so that can't do it

[wary spoke]

Is there a blueprint to reconfigure the Vindicator?

[dire drift]

Is Cassie not selling hunter items if you are under level 40?

Im making a watch mule and she ain’t sellin shit

Nvm you have to pick up the keys and open the ivory box again

[spring moss]

hey guys is bounties the best way to farm mats to optimize gear?

[coral surge]

What is the best exotic rifle?

[delicate mountain]

it depends on what is needed, exotics, resources

[delicate mountain]

merciless, exotic, but that's just my opinion)

[coral surge]

thx

[delicate mountain]

But you have to have a lot of ergonomics in the build to play comfortably.

[coral surge]

thx

[open mountain]

they all kinda suck

[wheat berry]

probably ravenous

[junior sequoia]

Ravenous, it's just IMO, at least heavies are easier to kill with it.

[delicate mountain]

Well, rather yes, the choice of the worst

[spring moss]

hey guys when i do bounties, if theres no black tusk enimies does that mean i have to wait until tomorrow when they change to see if i can get any black tusk materials?

[mellow trout]

You can craft them

[spring moss]

it says i require blueprints though?

how would i get those?

[wispy merlin]

control points on challenging or above

[spring moss]

would fastest way to get blueprints be projects?

ah oke ill go do those

[wispy merlin]

you should be doing control points until you run out of blueprints

[spring moss]

ill put it on heroic and just keep farminmg them in that case, but what happens when ive done all contol points do more spawn?

[near depot]

I need advice. I feel like I am DROWNING in gear/weapons, and I have no idea how to recognize what to keep and what to just trash, and with so little inventory and stash space, how do I know what I need to be saving or looking for? I feel like if something doesn't have 3 perfect stats that match the gear/brand set focus, it should be dismantled, but I can see ways to make for example a Eclipse Protocol build that has all Skill/SE attributes to really go all in on SE, but I can also see a build that uses the same EP, but with CHD/CHC for a solo SE/DPS build. But there is just not enough space in my inventory/stash to make all these builds. How do you know what to keep and what to dismantle?

[wheat berry]

If it’s not gear that has maxed out stats or a piece I’m actively looking for (or plan to in the near future), I extract their attributes to the tinkering station library or donate them towards expertise.

[nimble spruce]

You can reset all CPs to hostile any time you like through the difficulty options on the map menu

[silent estuary]

Almost everything is useful in some way. Instead of getting information overload, I suggest going to the pinned sheet in #td2-build-advice and picking out 5 or 6 builds you want to work on, and just ignore the rest. By working on those builds you will get a sense of what is rare and what is worthless. FWIW my 6 builds are:

• Striker's DPS
• High end DPS
• Drone and Turret skill damage
• Eclipse status effect
• Future initiative healer
• Determined-Headhunter sniper

[nimble spruce]

Take a look through the builds in the pinned spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice to get an idea of the brands, talents and secondary stats that are actually useful. Keep items that are no more than one recalibration away from ideal. Also keep one of each dz-locked named items and exotics. Throw/donate/extract everything else.

Most gear sets (system corruption being the only exception) are very very easy to farm so you can safely get rid of any pieces you're not actively using.

[delicate mountain]

I don't have enough slots for combinations, I need more, at least 5 more)))))

[silent estuary]

make alts?

[sudden matrix]

Most run 2 characters one being a PVE and the other being PVP and some use an extra for more of whichever they need more of. I have two characters and one is normal world/incursion and the other is IH/DH raids.

[silent estuary]

Q: I have about 500 event stars. Considering gambling them all on Named Item Caches to try to get The Gift, but 60 tries doesn't seem like good odds for getting a usable roll. Alternatively I could get 25 exotic caches, but that doesn't seem like a lot given I can get a few exotic components every week from projects and priority objectives. What would you do?

[delicate mountain]

I don't go on raids now, but I have 4 characters), 3 of them are mules + Keener's watch

It depends on what you need?!

For me personally, exotics), just don't forget - the stars will burn out tomorrow

[silent estuary]

Exotics: I need Scorpio, a second Coyotes Mask
Named: I need The Gift. Maybe Harmony.
Not much else

another thing to consider is that Named Caches are relatively cheaper at the event vendor than the CD vendor, so there's that to consider

think I'll just stick with exotics. Can't go wrong with more exotic comps, whereas if all the named items are duds the whole thing's a waste

[sudden matrix]

Just buy named in a few batches and see if you get what you need cause once you have the named items you is gud.

[delicate mountain]

Spare parts for exotics are always needed!)

[sudden matrix]

Then just dump the rest into exo caches.

Everyone is at a different stage in the game tho. Some wanna fill out their named items while others just need exos.

[silent estuary]

I just bought a Named at Danny Weaver, got a Safety Distance... and was reminded how many named items there are in the loot pool. It's certain disappointment

[open mountain]

i would get the named ones

[silent estuary]

nobody REALLY needs The Gift anyway. I've got better chances of good rolls with a regular Providence backpack with a regular talent

[delicate mountain]

"Harmony" can drop in the world

[open mountain]

exotics are whatever nowadays

[sudden matrix]

"it's 25% more damage" someone

[open mountain]

just run a few countdowns with ar target

[silent estuary]

oh I thought it was DZ exclusive

[delicate mountain]

alas, not all)

[sudden matrix]

Unless it's bugged it should be DZ

[silent estuary]

yeah harmony is nice since it procs for 5 seconds per hit. I actually run out of bullets on the Capacitor since each bullet only gives you 1.5% for 5 seconds

[sudden matrix]

That sounds like a damage issue tbh

[silent estuary]

yeah I'm trying to convert my secondary attribs on the drone and turret to CHC

[delicate mountain]

Apparently, I don't remember how I got it,error

[silent estuary]

feels like I'm shooting nerf bullets right now with an all yellow build

[sudden matrix]

Sounds like you should hybrid more towards gun damage if you are full skill and wanna do more with your gun.

[silent estuary]

actually, I'm insane. I already have Test Subject, why do I want the Harmony for

[delicate mountain]

What kind of build?from the table?

[pseudo tundra]

in yellow builds you use gun mostly to proc talents or other stuff

[odd condor]

for when you run out of assault rifle bullets

e.g. using Capacitor as the main

also yes if you're all yellow the Capacitor is literally the only option to do some weapon damage

[silent estuary]

Standard D&T: https://lite.evernote.com/note/a7081cdc-b5c5-7677-e166-b27ea3b2f6f8
Using waveform. Secondaries currently all Skill Haste, not seeing a lot of value from that

[sudden matrix]

Yeah you never do, CHC/CHD there does help a lot.

Could even swap wave for coyotes for a pretty good trade on skill to gun damage.

[odd condor]

Skill damage does more, at tier 6 skills regenerate fast enough that haste is more of a peace of mind thing

[silent estuary]

yeah I have all skill damage whereever it fits. I'm currently mostly skill damage + skill haste. Trying to farm towards skill damage + CHC

I'm using the capacitor like I'm DPS and it seems to eat ammo for some reason. I think I should stop firing after reaching 40 stacks.

[sudden matrix]

This solo heroic or what content?

[silent estuary]

solo heroic

[sudden matrix]

You should be able to go from room to room and grab ammo boxes no problem tho.

[silent estuary]

yeah I have ammo insecurity 😆

[sudden matrix]

Idk if directives modifiers might be at play here tho.

[silent estuary]

I don't think I have ever actually run dry (in a mission). I just look at 200 bullets remaining after one stage and freak out.

CPs I definitely run dry

I have to run in and grab from the box after the first attack

[sudden matrix]

I'd look at your accuracy in the after action reports and see if maybe missing shots is the issue.

[silent estuary]

yeah skill issue. Got too used to handling bonuses from Gunner and Lexington being a laser

[sudden matrix]

Cap is pretty good tho.

I feel like if you are shooting that's good tho, it'll keep talents up for skill damage and you'll deal out as much or more damage than your skills with CAP.

[silent estuary]

might need to move closer. I try to keep far because I noticed when I get flanked at close range I just die, unlike a red DPS where I can just take down one target if they get too close, the yellow can't reliably just eliminate threats and has to reposition

e.g., if my drone is out of position, or my turret is blocked, someone pops up on the side at 10m, toast

ok, anyway, so I don't really need Gift or Harmony. Gonna just roll the exos. Still need scorpio anyway

[nimble spruce]

if you want to tilt further toward weapon damage you can change the brands around instead like this (ignore BLB instead of Cap, this dates from back when it boosted skill damage too):

means a bit more farming since you need crit substats in order to recal the cores to yellow, but it's not too bad

[silent estuary]

nice, looks like weapon dps with 6 skill tiers

and the +1 from BA works well

[nimble spruce]

That was the idea. Been long time since I ran it tbh, but I was happy with it at the time

[silent estuary]

3 red cores, 6 yellow cores

[nimble spruce]

was good for 'heavy carry' situations where your teammates are a bit useless

[rugged stratus]

If you use retribution global modifier you can actually dump some secondaries into chd. Retribution dials up the chc as its bonus so will have cap hitting harder overall. Harmony also a good secondary option.
Cap on all yellow core is pulling 45% weapon damage.
Harmony on an all yellow core is still pulling 40% weapon damage because of the talent

[amber snow]

Does that Ubisoft studio shutdown affect the division? It said it was the studio that worked on outlaws, I thought that's where a lot of div developers were at

[nimble spruce]

they've done some work on division games in past (classified missions, apparently) but they're not the main studio working on it these days

[silent estuary]

oh right the holster on the lower left is Picaros, so it's 2/3 of a weapon damage attrib there

before the nerf it would be one full one so actually 4 red cores 6 yellow cores

[rugged stratus]

#td2-build-advice message skill dps hybrid

[silent estuary]

yeah very similar. Glass, memnto, picaros

[delicate mountain]

I have a classic build)

[silent estuary]

harmony again, dammit

[amber snow]

Nvm massive didn't take a hit, was a studio that worked with massive on avatar

[rugged stratus]

I think I'm gonna swap the 3 empress picaros to 3 hanna wyvern.
Itll maintain the same skill damage but it gives 15% wd back from hanna

[delicate mountain]

you can take the one that falls out in the world, but-it has one ammunition pack with a capacitor!

[silent estuary]

Test Subject. Yeah I have that. They made it literally the same base gun as the capacitor to ensure it is even more redundant

[rugged stratus]

If I'm not using harmony as secondary, then it's an insync mop shotgun.. aok never hurts

[silent estuary]

gonna go with the shotty. I have a decent rolled mop

[rugged stratus]

Just keep eyes on the countdown vendor. Its sold harmony more than a few times

[iron zinc]

On reanimated, do u receive the red star rewards in anything u complete (strongholds, missions etc)? Or do I need to do the challenges

[delicate mountain]

They are given out for gaining a level, and for tasks in the list.

[iron zinc]

@delicate mountain Ok thx . Trying to get as much exotic cashe as I can

[delicate mountain]

Don't forget!)

[iron zinc]

@delicate mountain for rewards?

[delicate mountain]

well, yes, if the task coincides with the project, great!))two in one!)

[iron zinc]

Gotcha thx

[delicate mountain]

I was running the countdown, the Pestilence fell, and the chameleon, and they gave Ridgway away

[coral surge]

which is the best non exotic rifle?

[tough marsh]

Classic M1A

[coral surge]

thx

[coral surge]

how does one add someone as a friend from within the game?

I went to social and clicked on the name and the there is no option to send friend reuqest

only inspect, block, report etc...

[slim elk]

only in ubi connect IIRC

[coral surge]

ooohhh ok thx

there should be a feature from within the game, because some names are hard to type

in the search for friend in the UBI connect

[open mountain]

you dont need to do uppercase

as long as the letters are right

iirc

[west onyx]

Does Noone run builds made Purely of brand items?

Is there always an exotic or gearset in there

[pseudo tundra]

well exotic armor can have talents in less competitive spaces like masks or gloves

centurion and coyote tend to be popular because of that

[coral surge]

good to know thx

Centurion holster reminds me of Lonestar gear set from Division, where u get more rpm when u swap weapons but the Lonestar is made only for lmg

[rugged stratus]

more like made for big als 🍻

[coral surge]

hehehhe

[shrewd spade]

Does anyone know when they will fix the lexington bug?

[mellow trout]

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

[karmic snow]

Does anyone know how to get more Incursion keys??

[kind cove]

Play on other characters

Otherwise you don’t and have to wait till next week

[delicate mountain]

Winchester 1886, but it's specific

[mellow trout]

Go to LFG channels

[ember seal]

Hunters hit HARD. Do they get easier if I change my global back to normal or ?

[wispy merlin]

yes

[umbral creek]

What should I start grinding out when I hit level 40?

[ember seal]

Depends what you looking for ?
Do you want levels ? Build up your inventory with exotics ?
Perfect a build ?

[umbral creek]

I could try a build. No idea where to start

But exotics or levels would be nice

[rugged stratus]

pinned spreadsheet, #td2-build-advice . striker good for dps

sheet hass builds *

[ember seal]

Bounties , targeted loot places , control points , maybe Google a good build for countdown and then start running countdown learn that alongside bounties. They teach you a lot about the map and places and stuff

[rugged stratus]

build always gonna be the first stop, or those levels will be really slow to gain

[umbral creek]

Okay. So build first?

[rugged stratus]

yup, if you look in that spreadsheet there are a ton

striker, sniper, turret drone for lazy days, and maybe eclipse fire to start

each build line has a link to a detailed breakdown

[umbral creek]

Thank you very much

[west onyx]

makes sense

[coral surge]

thx will check it out

[coral surge]

Which one does more damage, lady death or backfire?

[real wolf]

hey yall been wondering how rare are faction material blueprints? been spamming for about 24 hours now and got nothing

[mellow trout]

Completely rng

[wheat peak]

Indeed

[calm rivet]

You play solo? Already finished ny?
For group striker will be the easiest option..

For solo is extremelly essy build a skill build.. or vulcan (sniper)

If hun n gun hunter fury

Hunter fury was my first build in game.. did one with ton of armor on kill.. with perfect spotter ninjabike, ump45 with flatline.. was good enough to handle me essily trough challenge.. and was sufficiente to let me learn the mechanics of the game

Today i mostly run for pve pistol builds

[calm rivet]

In your language can be hotshot also

SPOILERS WTH!!

[gray mason]

Please use a spoiler tag when posting stuff like this. But thanks 🙂

[hoary dome]

New
I no nothing about a spoiler tag. Don5 worry thou I just won't do that again

[stray wren]

is there a big difference between challenging and heroic countdown in terms of loot drop chances and rolls?

i heard matchmaking only really works for challenging

[nimble spruce]

Not a big difference, no. Challenging countdown gives same quality of loot as heroic difficulty elsewhere in the game. Fewer countdown coins than heroic though.

[trail mango]

does boosting a character on lincoln + 5 directives with a friend not give enough XP anymore?
I just did that but I only got 1 level worth of XP so had to do it 10times ;-;

[nimble spruce]

Best to boost in invaded missions, they scale up the xp much more than regular ones

[trail mango]

I was under the impression that Lincoln + 5D would be roughly 1.5levels.
I'll try Invaded next time.

[charred mulch]

please tell me: what is the default key to use an active modifier?

[nimble spruce]

Aim at an enemy and it should tell you: T (same key as toggle rogue in the DZ)

[charred mulch]

i will try that, thank you
edit: T is correct

[gray mason]

I see 🙂 But if you in the future want to add something in a spoiler, just add two vertical lines || in front and behind the text or image and it will be hidden behind a spoiler, giving people the option to see it or not 😉

[north aurora]

Hi all just looking for advice help the shd cache box in the sewer does the utility actually ever drop to collect

[tough mural]

If i have in my stash a Nemesis and a Chatterbox transfered from my other character, does it unlock it for the loot pool or do i have to farm 2 new ones ?

[open mountain]

as long as the character has the blueprints

[inner tendon]

If you go to the Crafting Vendor at the BoO (White House), you can buy shared blueprints to unlock it on that specific Agent.

[open mountain]

so just buy shared blueprints

[tough mural]

oh okay will try, thanks !

[rugged stratus]

No. The items wont be in loot pool till project is complete *on that specific alt.
Also if you have the items in your stash or on the agent in question you wont be able to do the projects...

It's a non issue for 2 reasons. If you unlocked on 1 agent you can farm more on that agent. Also, if either are in the stash then you can use them on whatever agent you choose.
But if you're trying to help someone else farm the piece, you'll need to be on the agent you unlocked them with.

Not sure where these would be considered shared blueprints... all project bp are independent of the other alts (I'm sure there probably some dch holster projects sitting on the alts to show that)

[tough mural]

Thanks a lot ! I found the shared bps and could craft two level 40, it's exactly what i wanted 👌

[rugged stratus]

Oh yeah reconfigure would be shared

[nova trout]

I have a chatterbox on my gun wall for my stash but I don’t have one, I must’ve crushed it awhile back as it was super useless so hopefully I can just farm another

And I didn’t know anything about buying blueprints so yall cry for me

[rugged stratus]

I would check the stash. If it's in your wall you probably still possess

[remote tartan]

is there a better way to get exotic caches than farming countdown or the seasonal priority objectives

[glossy nymph]

So I’m at season pass rank 35, and if I do all weekly projects for the last few weeks which give one whole level each (minus descent and DZ cause I’ve barely touched the former and hate the latter) I’ll reach rank 58. But I want to reach rank 75, will journey be enough and a couple priority objectives? I don’t want to miss the backpack but I also don’t want to have to run priority objectives like 100 times

Also Idk if I can get help to do the weekly legendary strongholds which is another issue

Idk if anything else gives seasonal XP

[open mountain]

no

[remote tartan]

ive done it all day and gotten all trash

[silent estuary]

"wait, it's all trash?" 🔫 "always has been"

except when it's not

which happens... sometimes

praise RNGesus

[remote tartan]

i want either dodge city or datagloves

i’ve probably gotten about 50 exotics

[silent estuary]

don't forget the manhunt, gives a ton of seasonal XP for basic simple tasks

[silent estuary]

dodge city gunslinger is blueprint-locked, do you have the blueprint?

[remote tartan]

yeah i crafted it then accidently deleted it

[silent estuary]

damn. I think an alt can start the project from scratch though, not sure

[remote tartan]

don’t have one leveled

[silent estuary]

does it need to be levelled? The project's not available until level 40?

[glossy nymph]

Ah right, I’ll keep that in mind

[remote tartan]

well if i start a new warlords character i have to do the whole campaign

[silent estuary]

you can fast travel to DC as soon as you reroll, or at worst once you reach Haven (takes 5 minutes)

[remote tartan]

but i couldn’t do tier 4 cps as a level 31 burger

[silent estuary]

oh yeah that's a problem

[remote tartan]

if i already obtained dch can i not get it as an rng drop

[silent estuary]

you can, but whenever you want a specific exotic, Lootcifer will make it so that the caches won't give you that one but will roll everything else

[slim elk]

you must sacrifice something to lootcifer
