[sudden matrix]

Can do it pretty easy solo or in a team.

[cedar stag]

what's this bar indicate?

[mellow trout]

Momentum

Global modifier

[cedar stag]

ooo i see. ive been wondering why the hell it looks like ive got lady death buff lol

(assuming it does something like that) have no idea how it works ill see if ppl explained here

[mellow trout]

It shows you in the menu

[pseudo tundra]

#td2-general-chat message

[sour mortar]

I noticed. People don’t talk about backfire striker build

It’s amazing ngl

[cedar stag]

thank you!

[pseudo tundra]

Backfire requires a lot hazard protection so most people dont bother building around for backfire

[sour mortar]

I run it without haz pro and I do just fine

[cedar stag]

backfire is best dps in the game if i'm not mistaken

[mellow trout]

You can take it even without hazpro now that the bleed is cut in half

[cedar stag]

its literally what every person uses in incursion now instead of ouro

[mellow trout]

Its very good but you need consistent spawns

[pseudo tundra]

Yeah its way better now, i did use it with hunters fury build now

MPX as base weapon is just great

[sour mortar]

Each stack of striker is one stack of backfire. But if both at max stacks. It slaps hard asf. Especially with BP and chest both equipped on striker

[sour mortar]

Always my fav since div1. The house is my go to. Wish it’s back. But apartment is the lil bro

[sour mortar]

With 2 blues and just striker BP. I can hit 1.2 mil crit dmg while both at max stacks. My backfire is only at expertise 8. And have dtooc

[sudden matrix]

Pretty easy to hit these numbers, I'm only given close coyotes and demo DTTOOC

[cedar stag]

after going down to a hunter and finishing myself off to the bleed, i had to make the haz pro version for countdown 😂

[mellow trout]

The damage on lovebirds and wright is absolutely diabolical

[sudden matrix]

Well yeah with FI/oppo/OC firewall shield/bloody/OC scanner most anything is crazy

[sour mortar]

2 mil is wild

But backfire striker melts anything

[cedar stag]

its a fun gun to use, never touched it until recently

[sour mortar]

I been using it for a while. Hunter fury is good. EP ridgeway, is also good. Striker makes it shine hard

I just never seen people talk about it in general tbh

Just a sleeper dmg build for smgs

[sudden matrix]

Personally it's less than fun when you have small fights and need to move a lot and go in an out of the buff a ton.

[sour mortar]

Tru tru. It had its downsides

It’s also good on negotiators for more base chd

But don’t beat striker dmg good for ad clear tho

[cedar stag]

fair point. ive been using it as a dps haz pro alternative to EP haz pro foam for countdown

nice not getting jammed to hunters and still decent dps all red

[sour mortar]

For cqb. EP ridgeway chest and BP talent wicked is good. Arm regen and haz pro.

It’s abit meh for harder content

Fun for 1-2 man fun in PvE

Won’t put much dmg out but backfire helps abit on that. Just built around survivability pretty much

Yes I was curious and built it for backfire. It’s not so bad but it does have its limits

[sour mortar]

firing range being broken for me lately. targets under the map. targets dont folding back down after killed. reset/changing target difficulty dont help, neither changing world difficulty or spawning back at BoO

[quick stump]

Does anyone have any ideas for some must have builds? I'm pretty new but the only thing i currently have "finished" is a full red striker and (not max stats just all the gear/guns i needed)

[winter needle]

Future Initiative all yellow, bp and chest. repair skills rolls and mods with btsu gloves and a one piece alps summit repair skills and skill haste. Reinforcer chem launcher or Mender seeker depending on your preference and the healer hive. Crossbow specialist For the extra outgoing healing. Last I saw the numbers after a Legendary Capital Building it was at 2 billion+ healing given. A1 in the sprinkler section of incursion too.

[winter needle]

^^^

[quick stump]

Awesome, Thank you. Any rec weapons for it? or just anything works

[winter needle]

Uhhhh it’s all up to you I use pestilence since it’s pretty good on damage for having no dps at alllll can switch to capacitor and run a drone as one of the skills if you wanna go for that so to speak. Up to you there bud.

[quick stump]

Awesome! Thank you very much.

[winter needle]

Of course brotha

[fringe coral]

Is a god roll basically a gun have the core and attributes to the max stats?

[sour mortar]

God roll is attribute and talent.core attributes is fixed aka non changeable

[dusky phoenix]

What is the highest alert level

[marsh tundra]

4

[nimble spruce]

Check the spreadsheet pinned in #td2-build-advice, lots of strong possibilities there.
Eclipse foam or fire spreader is great for group content, hunters fury good for solo up close, hotshot sniper will demolish pretty much everything at any range, etc

For the heal build tank busta mentioned, many players would say that is too much heal, far more than needed to bring a dps player up to max armour in one tick, so the more popular version is to run opportunistic on the backpack and Scorpio as a weapon to give the group more damage instead.

[spring moss]

hey guys does incoming repairs affect my armour regen lines i have as attributes on my gear?

[nimble spruce]

No, it only affects repairs from shd skills I believe

[spring moss]

i thought htta was repair skills*

[spring moss]

is it therefore the same as repair skill attribute? what is the difference between the two? is it that incoming only affects me?

[pseudo tundra]

yeah

[spring moss]

ahhh i understand got it thankyou guys

[nimble spruce]

Incoming affects you but didn't have to be your skill (so others can heal you) while repair skills can heal other players faster with your skills

[spring moss]

got it thankyou 😄

[marsh tundra]

they drop on legendary/heroic, but they are pretty rare, donc count on them

there was also the crafting bench bug that gave only max rolls, some people abused it to get mods

(i def didnt dw im a good person)

[frosty parrot]

did shields get buffed in pvp or are they still dookie

back in my day there was little to no difference between a shield and a sheet of paper

[pseudo tundra]

they have an x8 damage multiplier on PVP still

[marsh tundra]

yeah otherwise you can just get a shield for free evertime its broken so it become completely dumb to play when they are resilient

cause there is so many ways to reset skill cooldown or have it way too short

imagine spending 1min unloading your lmg on max striker stats in a shield, and after you reload his shield is back up again

[full sapphire]

are they fixing how the frenzy works on marauders

[pseudo tundra]

Havent heard any comments on it yet

[nimble spruce]

It's been reported so likely that they're working on a fix.

[grave gulch]

Looking for named Vigil backpack, whats faster to target loot, brand or backpack slot?

[sour mortar]

Named caches, or dz when BP or the brand is targeted

[mellow trout]

always brand unless exotic

[sour mortar]

Sometimes vendors sell it. Same with Cassie and Danny (I think)

[deep raven]

What's the consensus around the shield splinterer. Is it good? Thr perfect optimist seems very inviging for the weapon

[mellow trout]

good for pvp

used to be even better when f2k was top of the meta

[deep raven]

I see. Thanks

[marsh tundra]

its good pvp or pve

[cedar schooner]

breaking point is just normal weapon damage right?

[marsh tundra]

yes

[rugged stratus]

Brand, as mentioned. Countdown probably best bet because a lot of named items drop each run, and you can select your target loot there

[calm rivet]

Guys! Any1 know if have any secret in keener manhunt? About those ducks?

[winged cypress]

Are skills bugged? when they go on CD its making me pick up skill parts like I have on scavenged skills which I dont

[pseudo tundra]

directives are

[nimble spruce]

There's some weirdnesses going on with the different directives. I suggest turning all of them off, making sure everything has gone back to normal, then just activating the ones you want

[winged cypress]

@nimble spruce Thank you!!

[gray mason]

Special Ammo and Scavenged Skills has had their visuals swapped (selection and cooldown displays). If you want to use Special Ammo, select Scavenged Skills from the list. The cooldown display will show Scavenged Skills's resources, but the countdown is still working, you just can't see it. Each Scavenged Skills resource should count for about 8 seconds.

And vice versa, if you want to use Scavenged Skills.

[sage delta]

d2 do not support dlss right?

[winter needle]

Yes. There’s like 20 something ducks across the mission. Complete the mission, and then come back through and shoot all the ducks. Go to the end and turn left to go to the elevator you’ll find “The Last Duck”, shoot it. Hunter spawns. You get a duck mask for killing him.

[winter needle]

Wait I just realized you said keener.

Nvm. This applies to Theo though.

Unless there is one on keener. Wouldn’t be surprised if so. Haven’t checked.

[calm rivet]

@winter needle yes have a lot of the ducks there on keener manhunt.. and i cant find any content if someone solved it!

[winter needle]

Do they glow red when you aim at them? Like do you shoot them and they disappear?

[gray mason]

To be fair. The entire game is riddled with ducks, it's hilarious. I have yet to figure out the meaning behind them, though 😊

[thin wagon]

is it worth buying the burden of truth bundle as a new player? im really loving the game and already put 9 hours into it(even tho i only bought it yesterday)

[calm rivet]

No

[marsh tundra]

if you're not even lvl 40 its not worth it

[calm rivet]

This season pass is terrible

[marsh tundra]

season pass is fine, but not if you arent at the endgame

[calm rivet]

Just waste of money.. skins of weapons you probably never use.. poor skins

[marsh tundra]

bruh

[calm rivet]

Cosmetics meh

[marsh tundra]

if you dont like it thats one thing, doesnt make it worthless

[calm rivet]

Is your opnion, and that was mine

[marsh tundra]

its not an opinion

not liking something doesnt make it worthless

[calm rivet]

Yes it is, are you trying to import your opinion over mine

[marsh tundra]

doesnt mean i like the bp

[calm rivet]

For me is terrible

[marsh tundra]

its not an opinion

[calm rivet]

He asked if worth

[calm rivet]

Grow up kid

[marsh tundra]

bruh

[rugged stratus]

it can be purchased towards the end of season and get everything anyways. take a look at the reward track and see if you like whats premium. there wont be anything on premium that affects the game, like gear/exotics will be available free track. there are some keys/credits/caches on the premium track along with cosmetics

[calm rivet]

Thinking this way.. just bcs you like isnt turn in a good season pass for every1..

[marsh tundra]

i didnt say i like it

thats why im not saying an opinion

[calm rivet]

Learn RESPECT others opinion and dont bother me more plz

[rugged stratus]

you guys are kinda dippy fighting over something that has nothing to do with either of you

[marsh tundra]

bruh xd

[thin wagon]

so basically, i should only buy it max lvl and if i dont get it by the end of the season i could buy it then?

[marsh tundra]

no

its for the season then its gone

[calm rivet]

Yes i just said my answered a question, with my opinion and this guys is like: hurrr durr isnt a opinion

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[thin wagon]

i meant like before the current season ends

like a day or 2 before it ends i could buy it then

[marsh tundra]

if you buy it before the end of season even 10min its fine

[thin wagon]

alright

[rugged stratus]

you arent forced to buy the premium track in the beginning to reap all the rewards is what i meant. you can buy right before end of season

[thin wagon]

yea i got that

thanks for the info

[nimble spruce]

If you buy it earlier though you do get some other benefits: extra daily project, season xp boost

[rugged stratus]

i forgot projects

[marsh tundra]

just buy it if you want skins/rewards and you know you gonna complete it/is already completed

[nimble spruce]

The cosmetics are the main thing to judge it on though yeah

[marsh tundra]

if you like the skins, then feel free to get it

you also get some premium credits iirc

not enough to buy another battlepass but its still nice

especially if you plan on buying some skins in the shop

[thin wagon]

yea im interested in some of them they look cool

[rugged stratus]

nothing wrong with that. thats the point of public chat... everything after that was on both of y'all, and pointless.
lyfe, this is on you as well... both can give answers and not have to spar about it, pointlessly

jmho

[marsh tundra]

but you only have 9h into the game, you should check if you like the endgame first

[thin wagon]

true

rn im at lvl 11/12 so im progressing nicely

[marsh tundra]

im not fighting anyone, im stating facts

i dont get why people think facts are opinions now but im not like that

im not forcing anyone to like anything

[rugged stratus]

you can state your shit and not try and dominate others into your thinking... sometimes less is more.. especially atm. time to move on

[marsh tundra]

im not trying to do that, but yeah, no need to spend more time on this

[winter elk]

pretty good gun pretty good talent

[nimble zenith]

Has anyone got the new exo smg? Is it any good? Will it be meta?

[marsh tundra]

its not bad, not going to be meta tho

[inner tendon]

It is, however, pretty metal.

[marsh tundra]

ffrom what we can tell

[inner tendon]

and looks like a K'nex.

[marsh tundra]

arent knex like legos ?

[inner tendon]

Lego's for people older than 8, but younger than 13.

Think of them as kid versions of technical models.

[deep raven]

It feels pretty cool to use. Eats away like Kirby tho

[marsh tundra]

oh yeah i remember lego technics

[inner tendon]

Lego themed outfit's would be terrible, but I do want them.

[pseudo tundra]

i thought it looked like plastic

well we are getting something probably cursed for april fools

lego division skin wouldnt be surprising

[inner tendon]

Any SMG that looks like an iron plastic girder is still pretty cool.

[pseudo tundra]

besides i'm sure a lot of people love the spinning laser

[inner tendon]

MSV, if you give us Slizer skins for the Hounds I will love you forever.

[marsh tundra]

i want a magikarp outfit

[deep flicker]

i ask for a build but no sniper im 138 shd

[slim elk]

you're looking for a build with no sniper? I don't understand

[deep flicker]

just no sniper build

im 138 shd i need farming xp i ash for a nice build

im novice

there is a nice skill build for heroic ?

[delicate mountain]

Stryker, or yellow dd

[deep flicker]

Ty

[grave gulch]

I didn't play last season, did they add Centurion's Scabbard to loot pool?

[pseudo tundra]

i beleive so

[grave gulch]

Nevermind, can confirm they have been added to the loot pool, just got them from fairview

[gray mason]

When they talk about Chapters in the Hostile modifier, what exactly do they mean? I can't seem to find any other reference to chapters 🤔

[bold tiger]

@marsh tundra kind of like this even though mine is cloudy?

[marsh tundra]

nah, mine was taking like easily 50% of the screen on something like that

it was so bad like at some point the light was so intense the building were almost impossible to distinguish

[bold tiger]

guess we gotta wait until clear clear sky huh? 🤔

[marsh tundra]

nah, its clear enough, you dont have it

at least not on screenshot but again it doesnt show on my screenshots anyway

[bold tiger]

probably the Journey stuff

[bold tiger]

even in game camera captures?

[marsh tundra]

yes

really it feels like the sun is trying to actively reach you thats how intense it was

[gray mason]

Yeah, that's what I am thinking.

[bold tiger]

so like the earth is really really close to the sun kind of scenario?

[marsh tundra]

feels like it yeah

[mellow trout]

As you advance your journey they get more powerful

[gray mason]

I understand that part. But they specifically write how much more powerful they get at "Chapter III", "Chapter IV", and "Chapter V and onwards". There is no other mention of chapters anywhere else. The assumption would be that they mean "Journey Missions", and accidentally called it Chapters instead of Missions.

I just wanted to be sure 🙂

[hard quail]

How come System Corruption is considered useless, and what caused it to gain that status? I don't understand why.

[mellow trout]

Its not very good

[pearl stone]

on paper it sounds like it could have some niche use honestly

[mellow trout]

On paper it's pretty cool but the problem is the trash cooldown

[pearl stone]

What was that bag they were advertising on the dev streams? I forgot.. it was a skin that showed your shd level

[mellow trout]

And the fact it only lasts 5 seconds

[mellow trout]

Being distributed this month iirc

[pearl stone]

Whats the conditions?

[mellow trout]

Idk just login I guess

[bold tiger]

your guess is good as ours, but i think they did say log in within a certain time frame

something akin to what they did with lexington i'm guessing

[pearl stone]

Oh, its an anniversary reward, found it again

[pseudo tundra]

it's very PVP focused and people found stronger stuff for PVP

it's utility comes and geos depending on the patch

but system corruption fell of meta for PVP

and in this game PVP really is about the meta most of the time

[hard quail]

How is it for pve then?

[pseudo tundra]

oof, bad

did you play the first game?

[bold tiger]

system corrpution? terrible. tried a few things and nothing seemed to work, but then again never tried it with NBB

[pseudo tundra]

think banshee set

[mellow trout]

Banshee but like way less useful

[mental pier]

@marsh tundra Are you playing with HDR on? Either way, the game, like many, has a form of eye-adaptation/exposure that you simply won't be able to disable. Many games have eye-adaptation but you can either lower brightness in-game or on your monitor, which should lower the white point. It's possible it's currently too high and the brightness is clipping, causing a blown out and overexposed appearance

[dusky phoenix]

And I heard Banshee was kinda useless in Div1

[mellow trout]

It was really good in the DZ

[pseudo tundra]

it was made for that one thing

and it was alright for that one thing

you wouldnt use it for PVE

because the bonus were geared towards PVP

same idea with system corruption

[bold tiger]

for me i was hoping more of a "PVE free armorkit every x seconds to save me" but think it never worked well enough

[pseudo tundra]

i REALLY like the idea of certain parts of your kit being replaced when using a gear set

really wish we had a gear set that replaced your grenades with something else, or even one with a spec weapon

[bold tiger]

Outcast Angel Gearset: Grenade launcher now launches poison gas (> <)

[gloomy yacht]

Anybody know a good farm for steel? I have at least 3k less steel compared to my other crafting materials.

[dusky phoenix]

I think the issue of it was that I needed to hold down the armor kit button rather than working like Div1's Medkit

[bold tiger]

not sure about div 1 Banshee set, but my comment was more about trying to turn System Corruption into a PVE build

[dusky phoenix]

Oh yeah nvm

Yeah Sys Corruption is kinda horrendous at PVE

[pseudo tundra]

It used to be like that, but got changed when they added the quick use armor kits and a bug with sys appeared

[next compass]

can i drop a dlc exclusive weapon to my friend who don't own the dlc?

[bold tiger]

what's a DLC exclusive weapon?

only exclusives i know of are Dark Zone, Raid and Incursion. never seen DLC exclusive

[next compass]

oh so my friend can get the mantis exotic SR?

[pseudo tundra]

Should be able to get it

And you can only share with who was with you when it dropped

[next compass]

oh nice, one more question. can he get the decoy skill without the dlc? i think i read somewhere he needs the WONY expansion to aqcuire the Decoy

[pseudo tundra]

No decoy skill

[bold tiger]

yes, he'd need to get WOny to get decoy and Fire sticky

and becareful of them shares. you have a very limited time to share them

[next compass]

so mantis is useless without the dlc XD

[bold tiger]

no clue, mine sits in the stash even though i have DLC

so does my nemesis

i tend to use my white death with determined anyways so all exotic snipers are worthless to me XD

[next compass]

yeah i'm farming for a good white death today.

[slim elk]

about 2 weeks ago, the clan vendor had a god roll whote death, just needed to recal the talent

bad luck

[rich beacon]

What's White Death?

[slim elk]

named model 700 MMR

[rich beacon]

Ohhh

[sour mortar]

Perfect cuz increased headshot dmg attribute

[earnest bronze]

for exotic optimization - it just allows the exotic to max out its stats correct? It doesn't allow for overcapping or anything?

[next compass]

yeah well i just started playing again last week XD

[marsh tundra]

Why is it random tho ? Sometimes it does appear like that

[acoustic lark]

wasnt feedback loop on hard wired reduced to 5 seconds instead of 10?

[regal summit]

It was, yea

But on the backpack talent

The general talent was reduced from 20 to 10

[gaunt moon]

What with this item check screen bug
like it happen again and again from time to time when you check item it cancel the screen, to the character then all UI disappear show only your toon but you can't do anything but quit the gme or get kick

it just exit item menu and froze like picture above, my toon still move a bit but I can't move, or doing anything

[tame breach]

i dont get how this is 70% haz pro

its 50 no?

[marsh tundra]

dont you have 6 * 10% hazpro on each piece ?

[tame breach]

catharsis u cant

thats why i thought max 50

[marsh tundra]

you get 10% from watch too

iirc

[tame breach]

ah ok

so 60 max

[sour mortar]

60+10

[tame breach]

catharsis doesnt count

[sour mortar]

huh?

[marsh tundra]

i think you're supposed to have a yaarl piece here

[tame breach]

only has income repairs and armour regen @sour mortar

[tame breach]

im so confused, there is nothing to switch other than matador

[sour mortar]

its the build itself that contains 60% alone plus the watch bonus

[tame breach]

catharsis does not have haz pro

[marsh tundra]

the chest imo

[tame breach]

but carrier is for regen

[marsh tundra]

but i think the build was made with catarsis having hazpro in mind

and they just forgot

oh wait

[sour mortar]

that arm regen. can switch out bp for a yahaal pc and add the talent

[marsh tundra]

spec doesnt give haz pro ?

[tame breach]

firewall dont believe so no

[sour mortar]

only gear bonus and watch

and attributes

[marsh tundra]

then idk

[sour mortar]

from looking at the build. every pc have haz pro attribute which is 50% + watch is 60%. if swap to yahaal bp. it will be 70%

[tame breach]

so it is max 60 rn

[sour mortar]

yes

[tame breach]

cheers thats all i needed to know

[sour mortar]

must be a typo or accidental use wrong bp

[tame breach]

fair enough

[sour mortar]

@foggy needle we found a typo or accidental use instead of bp from yahaal. it says 70% haz pro but build shows 50%+10% from watch, equals to 60%.

[junior bison]

I’m trying to do black tusk activities and bounties for the weekly but can’t find anything black tusk except for missions. I tried resetting the map but nothing. Any tips on how to get this done?

[marsh tundra]

you need to wait for them to spawn, they usually spawn south side of the map

you can also change map with wony to reset

they also happen on wony map

[junior bison]

Okay thanks!

[iron zinc]

I'm buying a new keyboard and will use for gaming. I see they sell "gaming keyboards" . anyone tell me what that has compared to a regular keyboard?

[marsh tundra]

the switches

you have to decide what switch you prefer before buying one

there are several with each their specificity

[iron zinc]

@marsh tundra is that it? Just the click type ?

[marsh tundra]

"just" the click is way more than you think, its the pressure point, the height of the click, the resistance, the sound, etc

its about confort and what you prefer

[iron zinc]

@marsh tundra why is that specific for gaming tho? Seems like something ud want for any keyboard usage no?

[marsh tundra]

gaming = lot of time spend on keyboard

its like if you play on console a lot, you want a good couch and tv

or if you spend 80% of your time on the road you want a nice car

its confort

[iron zinc]

Im only using mine for on screen chat but I see what ur saying . I thought maybe the gaming keyboards have specific keys integrated for gaming

[marsh tundra]

no, its the same layout mostly, and might have color lights on top of it cause its nice but thats only the exterior, the interior is what matter

[iron zinc]

Gotcha thx

[deep raven]

How likely is it for the bighorn to drop during a legendary stronghold?

[marsh tundra]

i think its 10% on boss

[deep raven]

Is it a good gun? I just got it from my first legendary stronghold

[pseudo tundra]

extremely high DPS, only gun that i will say that the absurd optimal range is good, made for headshots

if you plan on going striker, then cookie cutter crits with larger magazine ARs work better

if you wnat to experiment different stuff it works great

really high damage for it's rof rating and absurd headshot damage

smaller mag and lack of crit focus is what pushes people away, as well as the handling

the sniping part is alright, works well in some scenarios so you cna easily hit over million per headshot

would say depending on what you play it's probably a great backup weapon to a hotshot build that uses white death or another heavy sniper

since full auto AR is still strong for all ranges

[deep raven]

Thank you very much for the detailed response!

Since my striker isn't optimized I always run with elmos, but the big horn seems like such a cool weapon I really want to try out. Maybe a build that really centers around it

But glad to hear it's a strong weapon

[sour mortar]

Bighorn is more of a PvP weapon than PvE

[pseudo tundra]

still my favourite exotic AR

[sour mortar]

EB is mine. Miss Y1 EB tho to this day

[deep raven]

I see. I'll try to make it work both ways

[sour mortar]

mmm... started a new character. ammo shoot from reserves now?. fix is to swapping weapons but funny seeing this

[sudden matrix]

De le Cruz dying over there wondering what you are shooting at

[sour mortar]

Aye bro. Saw a bug

Bug is more important. She can get Rez at anytime

[wispy merlin]

@viscid dagger stop crying bro

i mean dying* but i just woke up

[viscid dagger]

I was astonished I got pinged here, not surprised by who did it

[wispy merlin]

wdym i'm no one

[viscid dagger]

True sorry, don't like getting pinged by strangers

[sour mortar]

Refractor is a ghost apparently

[wispy merlin]

REFACTOR

[viscid dagger]

Stop and think for a momento

Its refractor

[amber marsh]

Im searching for an entrance for SHD case but can't it, can anyone help me in a direction? There is also an drop close by, i can see roof parkour but no way to get inside. ran around the building couple times and also to the adjacent buildings.

NY Civic Centre

[marsh tundra]

there are guides about it if you google, but i'd suggest searching a bit more, there is a way to get there, we all did

[amber marsh]

I'm sure there is a way indeed ;p

[hollow wadi]

Help

How can I do it faster?

[runic quest]

with the binary translator it do be confusing with it

[shadow hedge]

whats the best way to farm tacticals

[slim elk]

tac assessments?
you either farm their blueprints, kill faction bounties or just bosses.
Crafting them is way faster but it's a little expensive

[dire folio]

I am trying to use a skill build and allthough i have not got scavenged skills turned on as a directive the skills are still acting like that directive is on and kills are dropping the scavenged things that you have to pick up !! is this happening to everyone or is it just me ?? anyone know ??

[uncut flame]

The 3rd one is using the 3 seeker mines

the video i watched to get this done

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECVKxB_NN4E

[marsh tundra]

special ammo and scavenging skills seems to be inverted

[inner tendon]

@hollow wadi Reddit also just posts up the answers on a page whenever they go live, as will someone on here, but a quick google is probably easier to sort out.

try something like "kelso week 1 scout", but replace the number with whatever week you need.

[zealous ether]

how do i even access modifiers menu

[marsh tundra]

inventory

[zealous ether]

and then?

[marsh tundra]

then go to modifier menu

[zealous ether]

which is where

do i need to unlock the function first?

[marsh tundra]

yes

[zealous ether]

how

[marsh tundra]

with journey missions

[zealous ether]

ty

[dire folio]

ohh i see. i will have a fiddle with the directives then... thanks

[stray igloo]

Does anyone know if the Lexington may be making a return soon?

[white vector]

is the fragile directive actually fixed for real now ?

[flint hare]

soon? We don't know

[zealous ether]

so like, which journye mission unlocks the modifiers?

or do they start from lvl 3?

[flint hare]

4 5 nd 6. 7 u will have the last passive

[zealous ether]

right

[flint hare]

3 u have the 1st 3 passive at 4 1st active

[white vector]

this should always be there, the you unlock the first 3 passive at journey 3, and the first active at journey 4

[zealous ether]

did they fix shooting range stuff?

[flint hare]

nop

[white vector]

what's the shooting range stuff ?

[zealous ether]

so why am i not getting anything when shooting the targets

[flint hare]

u can complete journey in there

[zealous ether]

well thats what im trying, i kill the target, but it doesnt cound towards the hostile kills

so what am i missing?

[flint hare]

restart game if u have just unlock it

[zealous ether]

huh?

[flint hare]

u need to restart game if it's doesn't count

[zealous ether]

will it count afterwards, or like, do i have to keep restarting to refresh the numbres

does it still count in the background tho?

[flint hare]

no it doesn't
if u r at 0/350 u will stay at that when u relog

[zealous ether]

bruh

bet

[zealous ether]

so i restarted

and killed a 5m dps dummy, but it didnt count as a hostile kill

[flint hare]

screenshoot plz?

[zealous ether]

the first two work

but not the rest

[white vector]

yeah, did 5 or so headshots in the shoting ran ge and it didn't count for the progress

[flint hare]

Maybe some doesn't work in this. Mostly i did this journey in invaded dua with explosive skill build

[zealous ether]

and where is the screenshot folder? its not in my Games in documents

ah

[waxen ice]

Is master mode way more difficult then Heroic for Theo's manhunt? Been grinding the manhunt off and on for awhile and if it isn't that much worse I might just try and solo it.

[zealous ether]

is there a way to disable speci weapon visiblity on the back?

[hard blaze]

Anyone else had problems with the Fortified Shield mission? Im using Crusader shield with Lullaby shotgun and claws out, but for some reason my meele kills arent counting towards the journey

Jesus nevermind, Fortified Shield is a modifier...

[zealous ether]

Did they change the thing for expertise? Its like it doesnt use exo components or smth?

im at lvl 9 on smg still wants reciever components

[rugged stratus]

exo cost starts at 13 iirc

[zealous ether]

uuuuuuuuuuh since when?

[rancid dirge]

2019

[zealous ether]

DAYM why did i have a feeligns its like lvl 5-6

[rugged stratus]

since it was changed when project resolve dropped a couple seasons back. reduces cost as well. this shows cost to exp 27, i think its 8 exo for 28 as well

exo used to start at level 10 previous

[zealous ether]

i remember that

[rugged stratus]

im so crappy about adding links i intend to post 🤦‍♂️

expertise costs #ask-td2-community message

[flint hare]

u need to kill with the hit of the sheild

[hard blaze]

Yeah got it done now, didnt equip the modifier, thats why it didnt initially work

[flint hare]

✅

[zealous ether]

anyway im still stuck on 326/543 bluebrints, and i dont seem to be getting any more for quite some time (i exhaused the control poitns ones) and idk how to get more

they used to be an invasion/weekly project thing where illd get them, but that has been removed from what i see so idk

[nimble spruce]

Descent

[zealous ether]

can u elaborate? i havent touched descend

ever

[flint hare]

u need to do descent to buy reconstructive caches. It's 298 NSA. NSA a money in there when u do boss rooms

[zealous ether]

and how fast can i get the 300 nsa/

Should i enter the one with higher or lower descent currency?

[nimble spruce]

It's a slow process, you get a 50% chance of one cache from killing the nemesis (takes like 30-40m once you're familiar with it), higher chances and more currency at higher loops but that can take hours as well as a fair bit of skill

[zealous ether]

damn thats disgusting -_-

[flint hare]

24 loop in 6h30 of playing

[nimble spruce]

The caches drop named item blueprints, including dz exclusives the The Gift and Emperors guards, so they're useful, but not essential

[zealous ether]

what about non named

[nimble spruce]

That's... Pretty slow, I think

[zealous ether]

u telliong me ive got like 250 named items not unlocked?

[nimble spruce]

No, not all the missing blueprints are from descent

[flint hare]

Maybe but was my first try nd it was a good rotation. Was at duo too

[zealous ether]

well where are the rest from

[nimble spruce]

Some are from old season passes, some are unknown and not possible to get. Noone has all of them

[flint hare]

seasons nd raids i think

[zealous ether]

stupid

[nimble spruce]

Yeah the raids drop a few. Level 4 control points drop a few from the loot caches too but you've probably got all those

[flint hare]

i don't have the ongoing blueprint. Idk why because i did the raid 1 a few times. Or it's there who is dropped

[zealous ether]

how do i get ammo in descent

[nimble spruce]

Iirc dark hours gives aces and eights and tip of the spear blueprints, iron horse gives foundry bulwark and future initiative

[zealous ether]

already have tthose

[flint hare]

oh make senses now

[nimble spruce]

At the start of each loop there's a box, and half way through the loop you can buy some from a supply station

[sour mortar]

Ngl. For me, I get bored after loop 10

[zealous ether]

what box how does it look like

[nimble spruce]

Regular ammo box

Same as in missions and open world

Right, I need to sleep now, hopefully someone else can answer your questions (try #td2-descent)

[zealous ether]

should i solo or group play desc

[warm root]

Hope things the right spot to ask! I am just getting back into the game after a long time and was curious what’s the best way to loot now? I remember summit but not sure if that’s still the best way

[zealous ether]

countdown

[sour mortar]

It doesn’t matter tbh. As solo, it’s a lot easier but just gotta be careful

[warm root]

Is that the same thing?

[zealous ether]

no

[sour mortar]

Countdown ftw

[warm root]

Can it be done solo?

[zealous ether]

unless u got a group for floor 100 hunters with saved checkpoint

[sour mortar]

Just matchmake on challenging. At the end of you and other 7 make it through it’s a party drop of named items as well. Due to the hunters that spawn

[summer quiver]

Is there a specific way to farm named dz drops efficiently or do I just do landmarks and pray?

[slim elk]

not easy, you only have 15 minutes + extraction (5 minutes total, but travel time to the extraction point reduces it to 3:30-3:00 minutes).

[charred shore]

Tough one because the drop rates are quite low in there. You could try named cache farming, either via global events or the countdown vendor and often the textile vendor (Danny) has named caches.

You could also in theory grind the reconstructed caches via descent which is a whole topic on its own.

[summer quiver]

i want to do reconstructed caches but they're just..way to grindy

[narrow kraken]

Anyone else getting constant stuttering? Seems like it happens regardless of graphical settings quality and on both dx11/dx12

It's to a near unplayable level and I'm not sure what would fix it

[kindred ice]

Hi. Did anything related to audio changed in the last update?

[warm root]

I joined a group today for sure not a 1 person job😂

[mental pier]

Anyone by chance know of a list of available gear transmogs? More specifically, a list of green/blue rarity gear transmogs.

[amber marsh]

How do i change talents?

[wispy merlin]

you changed one thing already about that item

[slim elk]

You can recalibrate a talent by having them extracted in your Library first. Then the item has to not be recalibrated before in order to change it.

[amber marsh]

Aah so its either an attribute or talent

[wispy merlin]

basically only one "thing"

[slim elk]

only one thing yeah

[amber marsh]

Yeah, gotcha

Ok thanks guys !

[wispy merlin]

do you want to banter with the boys?

i can invite you

[slim elk]

yea why not

[wind breach]

Does Expertise upgrading an item only upgrade the literal item you have in your inventory, or any of that brand that you might pick up in the future?

Ahh, I found a duplicate item in my stash, it doesn't appear to have been upgraded. Well that's a shame.

[inner tendon]

The only Expertise that's shared across multiple "things", are your Skills.

There's a table in the spreadsheet ( 📌 pinned over in #td2-build-advice), of what each upgrade does.

[heavy mountain]

hi can not get on to the store to buy the season pass keeps saying error is there a bug

[nimble spruce]

Do you have the Ubisoft in-game overlay enabled? You need it to access the store

[heavy mountain]

thanks will look now

[heavy mountain]

thanks for that it ok now 👍

[nimble spruce]

@wintry dune you're looking for #lfg-td2incursion-console, that's the dedicated channel for incursion matchmaking!

Thanks

[high hill]

Anyone else having issue with killing the 2nd warhound while running the Global Modifiers in TB on Heroic

The 2nd warhound Armor will keep regen

[nimble spruce]

sounds like it has the Frenzy buff - which enemies that gets assigned to is random, so you've likely just been unlucky. Need to do enough damage to overcome the regen, or use a one-shot tactic if you've got the right pieces

[inner tendon]

@storm meteor If you die within the DZ, you drop any contaminated loot you've picked up within the DZ, to keep it, you're going to have to "call for extraction" at one of places on the map, it's fairly self explanatory once you get there.

[storm meteor]

Can you enter with group?

[high hill]

Already did the on shot tictic, It took it done half way. Lookk like it takes more damage before it gets to the door where it stops. So if you can get it before it gets to the door you have a better shot at taking it out, but if you let it get to the door. it's over no killing it.

sorry "It took it down half way"

update Thanks the_Kettle. I had to put on more dps. I went with 4pc Negotiator and 2 pc Providence with achilles pluse and bullet king. no allowing the regen to come back

not allowing the regen to happen

[mellow trout]

If you need to one shot a target and there's something else with plating around like a warhound you can rav stack then nego transfer for big damage

[dull vault]

Anywhere i can go to find people to join up?

returning player and im lost

[marsh tundra]

#lfg-pc

[thin sage]

Hey guys, stupid question: Birdie's backpack already in the game as an item we can get? I tired to "farm" it by running Master multiple times even with character which haven't did the Master before but no backpack drop yet

[nimble spruce]

It's not available yet, can only be gained from the current season manhunt mission which doesn't become available until we've done the next 11 weeks of scouts

[thin sage]

Damn, ty

[charred shore]

11 👀 watch that turn into 16

[oak gazelle]

is there a way to unlock old modifiers from the last season?

[charred shore]

There isn't, with each new season comes a new modifier, there'll come a day though tht they may come back in rotation. You can try them in the climax mission for Theo though IICRC

[inner tendon]

Yep, only at Space Admin w/Theo.

same goes for any subsequent Seasons.

[oak gazelle]

That's the issue, you can replay it with the old modifiers, but if you haven't unlocked them, you can't select them at all.

[inner tendon]

You can't select the new ones in that mission at all, that's the idea.

[oak gazelle]

I'm talking about the OLD modifiers.

[inner tendon]

Yeah, they're locked to that specific Climax Mission. You physically can't unlock them normally.
Unless you mean that you can't pick the old ones because you didn't finish them last Season, that is 100% a bug.

[oak gazelle]

Yep, so there is no way to unlock them, if you haven't finished the last season.

[inner tendon]

@gaunt moon Sorry, but you can't post your channel here.

[gaunt moon]

oh just wanna ask about bug on vid... so Tsunami bug was fix or not?

hard to show the bug when have no evidence and my eng not great so it hard for me to explain using words

[oak talon]

oxy no longer will benefit from pummel, that got removed.
chatterbox and glorydays does still work for ROF and stability. so just pummel got fixes to not work

[gaunt moon]

😦

[oak gazelle]

Ahh and I see now, why you lose modifiers in every manhunt mission, ... because there are none.

man they really thought through this whole season thing

[karmic hawk]

The manhunt missions were designed around their own seasons so they're not meant to use current modifiers

[oak gazelle]

you know, it is the 2nd season with modifiers now

and there are a lot more manhunt missions

[karmic hawk]

I am aware, yes but what I'm getting at is they are meant to be run in the way they existed at the time

[regal summit]

I just wish we could play the last manhunt mission without modifiers. You could disable it last season, but now you can't, which sucks

[wispy merlin]

^ they need to revisit this decision, but wouldn't be surprised if they double down. i just think the master mission is still difficult without the modifiers

[autumn cargo]

Does anyone know how to Activate Vendetta? It doesn't seem to be working and I don't see the 'T' on my screen.

[regal summit]

Make sure it's not on cooldown. When you first equip it, it goes on cooldown aitomatically

[cold lichen]

Any tips on getting the hunter to spawn for the Specter mask? I've tried daytime, nighttime, various gun types, single shot on each window, etc. Still cannot get him to spawn.

[pseudo tundra]

#lfg-raid-console

[maiden pasture]

Yeah

[desert thunder]

Are there random hunters in the game because I wasn't looking for a hunter and my screen went all berserk and I ran into this guy

[thorn hedge]

Hunter stalkers exist but there's nothing you get from killing them

[desert thunder]

Is that why my screen goes fuzzy? I saw one befor and it pop smoke and took off

[thorn hedge]

Yes

[desert thunder]

It is fun finding them is there a map location of them

[viscid dagger]

Tip

If ur screen goes all fuzzy
Look up at the buildings around you

Maybe you'll find a surprise

[brave pendant]

anyone else had an issue with these??? out of ammo, all rounds pumped into this thing and wont die

[desert thunder]

shoot the eye the red thing in the middle

[brave pendant]

ive done that repeatedly :/

its blacklisted so i think its broken, will take a lot to kill the thing

it happened to me on a mission so thats why im raising it here now incase anyone else has had the same issue with this

x3 people spraying into this thing and no damage, ive used full rounds of st elmo and pestilence ...

[oak gazelle]

Frenzy modifier, the health regen is higher than your dps, because it is percentage based and the health pool of the enemy is to big

[mellow basin]

what do the vendetta icons correspond to? i know the smg outline is the primary

[brave pendant]

That makes sense!! Thank you 🥲🤦🏻

[zealous ether]

what are some journey 4 cheeses in shooting range

besides explosive kills

[mellow trout]

You can either turn off modifiers or one shot it

Otherwise not much to be done

[somber mirage]

when did they make rifles full auto?? lol this is crazy

[warped gull]

Hi everyone and sorry if this question has already been asked, i'm new to division 2 but played alot division 1, i can't figure out what coressponds to those 2 ui elements i circled on the screenshot ? can anyone please enlighten me ?

[viscid dagger]

On ur gun is the indicator for whatever talent you have on said gun

On the right, that's ur momentum bar, you can go into ur inventory and check how the seasonal modifiers work

Basically get more momentum the more kills you get

Higher tier enemies give more momentum

[tepid bronze]

The bar on the right is tied to the Seasonal Modifier, which fills up when you kill enemies. the Number on your weapon is tied to your Weapon's talent. If you take a look at your weapon and read the talent, it should explain how to build up your stacks.

[warped gull]

oh okay thank you very much guys, very much appreciated

[sterile terrace]

Yo is there a way to get journey 4 done fast mostly the frenzy and the blacklist missions???

[bold tiger]

think i mostly hung out in the shooting range for mine

[pseudo tundra]

i am going to ask an extremely stupid question

[bold tiger]

for me, the only stupid questions are the ones not asked

[pseudo tundra]

if cooler gets special ammo, can you hit your allies with it to cause status effect on them?

[bold tiger]

that would be amusing 🤔

[pseudo tundra]

i know it wont cause status effect on enemies

i mean, it owuld be some next level trolling and very funny in PVP

[bold tiger]

like bleeding your teammates without going rogue, or just to quickly get through a conflict match?

[pseudo tundra]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

i'm not the evil person in this scenario

[bold tiger]

i'd just tell them "must've been my twin"

[vivid narwhal]

I have division 2 ps4 version on my ps5. But I recently got a PC. Will my character level and weapons transfer over tru Ubisoft or somehow?

[bold tiger]

nope, you get to start all over again far as i can tell. about the only thing that can transfer is if you played on ubisoft and you buy the steam version you'll be where you left off on ubisoft

[vivid narwhal]

If it doesn’t carry over I’ll get a refund lol. It’s only 15$ for D2 ultimate edition with everything on steam atm until the 13th

[tardy warren]

Is it me or do the magfed shotguns have a massive reload swap cancel window

[bold tiger]

rarely use shotguns honestly, but saw a video where a guy was opening up them caches much faster than normal. hooked up a controler on my PC and went to work on the 99+ cache keys, stil 99+ though lol

[tardy warren]

That isn’t really related to what I said but that’s cool!

[twilit sage]

I think I found a glitch that doesn’t let me continue the mission in tidal basin

[bold tiger]

could be one of those things in the tweet about the maintenance in a few hours

well, maybe not? "bug preventing mission progress from syncing between characters."

[twilit sage]

No an are of the map is closed

[rugged stratus]

oh nice, new gearset has its own weapon skin

[bold tiger]

is taht what it looks like applied to a weapon?

[wispy merlin]

NOOOOOOOOO

[bold tiger]

don't like that blue on the gun, if it could've looked like it does in the menu on the right sure, but that looks really light in color or is it just me?

[rugged stratus]

the thumbnails for skins dont have global light applied

[bold tiger]

ah, so the light changes the colors it looks like on the guns? makes sense was thinking maybe something about in game something causes that

was thinking maybe applying it to a gun with metal on it makes it change colors since it can't stick to it very well kind of thing

[rugged stratus]

itll look different depending on ambient light, day/night cycle, weather, etc

[bold tiger]

i'll probably go gah gah if they manage to ask sega "can we put miku on a weapon?"

like i'm picture "Miku Miku BEAM!" and she's at the barrel with her hands aiming where we'd be shooting XD

[rugged stratus]

range, zap looks better with similar colorscheme (back)

not actually using, just poking fun anyways

[bold tiger]

that's awesome looking

was a fun of that swan song until i realized the model of gun it's for

that zap on elmo gun? XD

[rugged stratus]

no, its carbine7

[bold tiger]

would be funny to have elmo with that skin on it XD

[rugged stratus]

you can.. just slap it on a lex, which i do 😎

[spare girder]

Where did u get it?

[rugged stratus]

4 agents, 2 lex makes local sad

[bold tiger]

i can see Localdeck saying "i paid for it" ;p

[rugged stratus]

probably cant, it was some season or apparel thing a while back. its just named the same as the new gearset is all, not actually connected to it

[rugged stratus]

i get the season pass deal, but dont buy the cosmetic stuff otherwise. if it drops i probably have it tho

[bold tiger]

i definitely buy the season pass, but the cosmetics never really catches my attention honestly

[rugged stratus]

especially nowadays when your premium apparels/skin packs cost more than the ultimate edition of the game when on sale

[bold tiger]

i feel fortunate to have been playing the game for like RE events and gotten the cosmetics from it

[mellow trout]

They've been a mixed bag

Stuff like the echelon outfit and bloody red hunter outfit were super neat

[pliant grail]

Do the control points stay permanently captured at a certain point?

[nimble spruce]

NY ones do if you stay in DC, otherwise no

[fiery zenith]

hello, my brother just got buyed the base game and the new york edition, but he didnt knew all the stuff that follow with the The Division 2 Ultimate Edition, is it not posible to get The Division 2 Ultimate Edition at all when u own the other games ?

[narrow kraken]

Kard gives a skill tier?

[mellow trout]

While held yes

[narrow kraken]

Ah I see

[marsh tundra]

only tdi kard custom, and only while you have it in hand

[final island]

Mine always have until you change world difficulty, add/remove directives, or choose reset control points.

[zealous ether]

which mission should i play to farm drone kills? as in which mission has most enemies

[gray mason]

Does anyone have the solutions for this week's scouting? (just in case I get too lazy to figure it out later today 😅 )

[nimble spruce]

It'll be on Reddit by now, just use spoiler tags if you're posting them in here

[gray mason]

Always 🙂

[zealous ether]

how do i aim trough big scope on st elmo?

[nimble spruce]

Aim down sights then press tab

[zealous ether]

ty

is the gun more accurate that way?

[nimble spruce]

No, it just zooms you in

[zealous ether]

bet

[tough mural]

What the hell happened

[inner tendon]

ISAC being french is just so unsettling.

[bold tiger]

rogue agent or named had bomber drone

[tough mural]

It was a bounty, one of them was a machine gunner so i guess the second one had it

But damn that was fast and painful

[zealous ether]

Does HH work with Determined? Cuz when i headshot an enemy i dont see the hh boon

[wispy merlin]

you have to kill

[zealous ether]

I am

[bold tiger]

not hitting the enemies with helmets are you?

[zealous ether]

Im in literal shooting range dude

[inner tendon]

Oh you're trying to use the exploit?

[zealous ether]

Idk ehat exploit im asking a question

[inner tendon]

Completing Journey steps in the shooting range.

Patched as of today.

[zealous ether]

No im talking about hh and determined

[pseudo tundra]

HH and determined work together

[bold tiger]

sighs rivens just asking if you're trying to use the shooting range to complete a journey objective

[pseudo tundra]

need to get a headshot first to get things going

[zealous ether]

I know mate

[pseudo tundra]

and make sure that the shot kills

[zealous ether]

Why am i not seeing the hh boon

[pseudo tundra]

those two are the only two conditions

and if it wasnt working, server would be flooded with people crying

[bold tiger]

maybe they mucked with the coding that what you're trying to "test" so it just doesn't do anything

[wispy merlin]

the icon can be buggy sometimes, what matters is your damage ramps up after kills

[zealous ether]

Yea it does

Okay cool

ANyway, classic m1a or lightweight m4?

[crimson abyss]

There should be a buyback system for exotics I accidentally deleted my new gloves from this season

[zealous ether]

u can talk to support theyll probably give it back to u

[bold tiger]

i feel each division 2 discord should have a pin "favorite your exotics so you don't sell/deconstruct it by accident"

[wispy merlin]

and surely everyone reads pins...

[crimson abyss]

or auto fav filter so you dont for get like me was just clearing backpack and forgot to lock gloves

[wispy merlin]

i mean you could also be farming exo components so you open 20 caches at once and just want to deconstruct them

[bold tiger]

i know XD

[wispy merlin]

this would be a hindrance

[fresh abyss]

Can someone please answer this

[slim elk]

bounty I suppose

[fresh abyss]

Hopefully

[slim elk]

rivens gave a thumbs up, it is a bounty

^If in doubt: google it out.

I beat warlords of New York and I am level 40. I was just told I should have access to SHD levels but I dont know where to acquire it?

[bold tiger]

quartermaster

[heavy mountain]

is there a bug with the season levels not going up on pc thanks

[proper tiger]

He only shows me skills and perks all of which I have unlocked. Am I missing something?

[pseudo tundra]

not all activities give season XP, most activities do

what exactly were you doing?

[heavy mountain]

hostages they give the most XP

[pseudo tundra]

open world activities do give season XP

they dont give at the same rate as regular XP

season and regular XP are now different things

[pseudo tundra]

double check if there's any side mission listed on white house

[bold tiger]

that the NY or DC quartermaster?

[coral knoll]

hello i want to be mentored by someone on td2

anyone interested ?

[heavy mountain]

i am a vet of the game been playing since day 1 there is something wrong with

[pseudo tundra]

a lot of people stopped playing before season 2.0 happened, so i just play safe and assume they are not aware of the changes which happens often

[bold tiger]

nods when you complete things you should see some kind of symbol and numbers for season xp come up on your screen wherever you placed the accolades location

[nimble spruce]

SHD XP is 230324
Season XP is only 47
Hostages really NOT great for season XP, current I believe best method is priority target strongholds.

[rugged stratus]

Strongholds All I been doing for prio. Some of the missions are giving 500ish season xp

While the agent journeys are seperate for alts it's probably another good option for grinding season

[nimble spruce]

they patched that today

[rugged stratus]

Awe damn

Looks like its stronghold prio grinding for me.

[proper tiger]

NYC

[pseudo tundra]

Try the DC

[proper tiger]

Thank you I'll try that

[strange hornet]

I asked this the other day but I'm still a little unclear about the Lexington... Did you also have to claim it before the program ended? Or just have logged into either of the games and you can claim it at any time?

[nimble spruce]

you definitely had to log in during the giveaway window (Dec 2024), not sure if you did that but left it in your mailbox

[strange hornet]

Oh man that is sort of depressing. So even though I had played the games before the January 1st, 2024 for example like the article says. I also had to log in before Dec 2024 to claim it?

[nimble spruce]

the giveaway ran from 24th Nov - 1st Jan iirc, but they may do another in the future

certainly lots of people asking for it

[strange hornet]

Yeah that's a huge bummer I loved that and the lightweight M4 in the first one. Part of the reason I didn't like 2 very match at the beginning with them being Rifles and not having that RPM anymore. Way she goes I suppose. The LVOA isn't in the general loot pool either from what I'm reading. that blows, thanks for your time.

Can't even log onto the game right now either smdh Ubi servers down

[mossy prawn]

Some Manhunt in Southwest

[hushed vessel]

anyone also with this problem??? or is it just me...

[bold tiger]

Just you

[weary junco]

So do the rogue backpack trophies come from buying the bundle?

[weary junco]

Some people are, iKia a streamer can't log in either

[hushed vessel]

thanks for the info.

[crude quiver]

I am having the same problem, so it is not just you. Same problem on two seperate accounts

[stone skiff]

Those things that dangle from the bottom of the backpacks? You can get those from completing Global Events. Probably other ways to get them as well.

[strange hornet]

PC servers are down

Seems to be Ubi wide though not just Div

[weary junco]

I'm referring to the backpack trophies people have received after having already owned the current rogue agent bundles. My question is if you haven't got them will you get the trophies upon purchase?

I don’t know if I missed something, but I’m slightly confused about how the Castle settlement works..
I had it greyed out for most of the game, was just doing side missions, then got finished the strongholds and got invaded, finished the main story line and all of a sudden the Castle is fully upgraded? Did i mess up the order of something? Didn’t even get a cutscene or notification that I can do something with that specific settlement.

[nimble spruce]

no, it was restored a few seasons ago, now it just miraculously jumps into life as soon as you reach endgame

[waxen ice]

For journey mission 6, the objective to elimimate Blacklisted hostile just is not going up. Is it bugged currently? I got the one in mission 5 for it but this one isn't changing at all

[nimble spruce]

you likely didn't complete the 'kill blacklisted hostiles' objective on an earlier journey stage, so it's counting towards that instead

[waxen ice]

Nope, I got all of them. Only missions I have left from previous ones are to craft gear pieces, complete broadcasts, donate resources, restore armor using the modifier, and the maintain certain momentum tier ones

[mellow basin]

anybody know what the icons are for vendetta? tryna knock out this journey today

[nimble spruce]

hmm, not sure then - unless you're trying to do it in the firing range, that was patched out today

[waxen ice]

I was at first but I've ran tidal basin and a few missions here and there, hasn't change from 0/350 since yesterday

[nimble spruce]

I guess get a video of it failing to count (and showing your current and previous journey states) then submit a bug report on the ubisoft support server linked in the pins in #unofficial-troubleshooting

[nimble spruce]

the skill kill one looks like a skill mod icon iirc, primary weapon looks like SMG, pistol looks like pistol

[mellow basin]

just realized, thanks!

[waxen ice]

Actually I think it's missing text for it. I'm in west end now and it just randomly started counting them? Been on for over two hours with nothing and it just started ticking now? I don't even know. Did a control point and it went up to 12/350

[rugged stratus]

I wish it was, but it's an older skin, possibly available for premium. Originally from an old season iirc.
I was poking fun at the constant misspelling of refracture gearset. Sorry for the confusion

[summer canyon]

Ah, dammit.

Thanks for letting me know, anyway

[zealous ether]

does companion also work on teammates (if i have it)

i mean do they get my companion bonus?

[rugged stratus]

Teamates and skills in proximity

[zealous ether]

it doesnt mention that tho

[rugged stratus]

Asked and answered

😎

Should be able to use it on chest and back as well, it stacks, but not in the broken way it previously did

Does the ingame wording not say ally or skill?

[zealous ether]

it doesnt say wether or not it affects them

like yea ok, im getting 20%, do THEY tho?

[rugged stratus]

It doesnt affect them. I misread what you asked

[zealous ether]

sadge

[rugged stratus]

My bad on that

[zealous ether]

what talent should i run to support teammates?

on chestpiece

[rugged stratus]

Opportunistic makes things take damage from all sources

[zealous ether]

backpack is occupied

with eclipse

[rugged stratus]

Pair with scorpio and survivalist and your teamates can benefit from 3 amps

[zealous ether]

.

[rugged stratus]

Cc or fire

[zealous ether]

foam

[rugged stratus]

Look it the Link in my profile

[zealous ether]

and no i dont want to use creeping death

[rugged stratus]

Ep bag is wasted on foam, same with vile if using

[zealous ether]

its straight up 30amp dmg

[rugged stratus]

Trust local on this one

[zealous ether]

for teammates innit?

[rugged stratus]

No

[mellow trout]

ep bag only amps your damage

[rugged stratus]

Only you

[zealous ether]

ooh sheize

[mellow trout]

otherwise itd be super busted

[zealous ether]

lmao mb

[rugged stratus]

Ep bag for fire , opportunistic or creeping for foam

[zealous ether]

i want to get the perf creeping in that case, but difficult thing to get 2 yellow on blue core item

[rugged stratus]

Setup bag gives team 15%amp iirc, survivalist 10%amp, scorpio 20% amp, add sledge for those fire nades and you really cooking

[zealous ether]

yea i am, but i also need 2 matching yellows for setup

cuz i dont want to use technician to compensate for yellow core

[rugged stratus]

Well. You need haste. The off roll doesnt matter if you can roll a yellow core. 10status effects is like 1sec on foam

[zealous ether]

b-b-b-ut

[rugged stratus]

I have around 12 second foam on linked build with 0 status rolls. It's all haste and hazpro. What is your foam duration currently with all status or w/e you have status

[zealous ether]

14

[rugged stratus]

So not a huge difference

[zealous ether]

so this is fine then?

(roll the implicit)

[rugged stratus]

You could probably be around 16 with all status I think

[zealous ether]

im running btsu instead of electrique

[rugged stratus]

That's like my perfect setup bag no lie

[zealous ether]

so this is it then?

[rugged stratus]

Lose btsu, you're not even able to benefit in current setup

[zealous ether]

but that juicy OC in countdowns tho?

[rugged stratus]

Where is hive

[zealous ether]

(imagine its there)

[rugged stratus]

That's trap

[zealous ether]

thats why i said imagine

[rugged stratus]

Nah, hives can get hacked.

[zealous ether]

mm so what other skill should i use

[rugged stratus]

Go with jammer/emp/fire sticky

[zealous ether]

ait jammer it is

[rugged stratus]

I usually just fire sticky but jammer good for quite a few obj

The hazpro setup is quite good in cd as well. Full immunity... can even run around turbine floor and not be staggered during shock... you do take damage still but never slowed for anything

[zealous ether]

lemme see

[zealous ether]

this i mean

[rugged stratus]

https://lite.evernote.com/note/79bb4eea-c870-7860-a2c4-b764f2427a20

This is the easy setup. I use a yaahl piece on my own

[zealous ether]

so uh

u use hazpro instead of status effects on EP?

also electrique doesnt give any hazpro

[rugged stratus]

Yeah. With the native hazpro on ep it's easy to hit 100%

[zealous ether]

unless u mean the roll itself

[rugged stratus]

You need 6 rolls + max watch + ep

[inner tendon]

All that HazPro and not a single Backfire in sight.

[rugged stratus]

If you yaahl its 5 rolls. But it's just swapping things around.

[inner tendon]

for shame, 'deck.

[zealous ether]

we out there

[rugged stratus]

Nay, focus is team. Cant backfire with scorpio

[inner tendon]

Anyone have some eye-bleach?

[zealous ether]

aany hoozlez

[tardy warren]

I’m crying

[zealous ether]

y tho

[inner tendon]

You know that one joke in the IT Crowd about Jen's desktop? That, but in div2 build form.

[tardy warren]

Run 2pc ceska 1pc yaahl if possible

You’re losing a HE talent for BP

[zealous ether]

in english please

[tardy warren]

Okay

So your backpack being ninjabike means you can’t use a talent from the normal talent list

[inner tendon]

Put on the PvP brand set and the yes crit brandset to make it go wee.

Wait, I forgot the word chance. Darn.

[tardy warren]

While on paper ninjabike filling out a “slot” in each gear/brand sounds good you’re trading away a talent like vigilance or anything else for it

[zealous ether]

im also trading striker am i not?

[rugged stratus]

English version is losing striker bonus and 2pc cav for yaahl piece.

We all poke ninja with sticks but I can see the reasoning behind the build even if I dont condone it

[tardy warren]

No, because you would replace the one cav piece with striker

[zealous ether]

and where does the yaahl go then

[tardy warren]

Did I mistype aw man I did not 2pc lmao one piece my bad

[zealous ether]

so uh, say cav piece>striker
Backpack ceska
mask>yaahl?

[rugged stratus]

It would be more with no yaahl and 2 ceska

[inner tendon]

Yaahl gets you a flex bonus though.

3% increase to your DPS.

[tardy warren]

I might be stupid ur right

Deepest apologies lmfao

[rugged stratus]

We all been there, trust me.

[zealous ether]

so the conclusion is what?

[tardy warren]

2pc ceska

No yaahl

Fill rest with 4pc striker

[rugged stratus]

Ninja bad, decon and setup a mortar build ...

[zealous ether]

ceska with haz/cd?

[rugged stratus]

Mortar Supremacy

[tardy warren]

Crit chance until you reach 55-57

[rugged stratus]

I'll see myself out

[zealous ether]

im at flat 60 atm

[tardy warren]

Then crit damage yeah

[inner tendon]

Double-check to make sure you aren't over 60, it's very easy to waste %.

[zealous ether]

im flat 60

[inner tendon]

You don't look a day over 58.

[tardy warren]

Riven is saying just make sure that all your crit chance added up is <60

[zealous ether]

but the problem is next

with ceska and 10% hazpro, and the rest being 10%v hazpro

im at 90%,, cuz cav gave* 30%

wait

nvm i forgot 2pc ceska gives 20

thats a VERY specific backpiece i need to get..

and im already sick of ceska farming

[inner tendon]

It'll never be the final Countdown.
too niche, but you know the answer anyway.

[tardy warren]

Countdooooooown !!!!!

I mean that’s just if you want to improve the build because atm you’re missing a real backpack talent for ninja

[zealous ether]

i see the vision

[warm root]

I am in the middle of scout 1 activity 3 “Destroy with seeker mine and I have killed many with them but my number stays at 2/20

[tardy warren]

If you want to keep the backpack you could swap ceska chest for striker chest for good damage

[zealous ether]

i have an alt build for incursio where i use the chest

[warm root]

And I make sure that they are low enough to die with them so idk why they aren’t counting towards it

[zealous ether]

lmao i just one tapped this

we back in business

[tardy warren]

Actually insane luck

[zealous ether]

SO GLAD I DONT HAVE TO FARM IT

[tardy warren]

You can roll the talent to whatever you want now!!!

[zealous ether]

yess

[tardy warren]

Unstoppable isn’t terrible too

[zealous ether]

vigilance mommy

[tardy warren]

Unicorn pull from crafting is such a dopameme rush

[zealous ether]

unless force is multiplicative?

[tardy warren]

Lemme pull up the spreadsheet

[zealous ether]

lmao

[warm root]

Anyone know why?

[mellow trout]

Its TWD so multiplicative but additive to other sources of TWD

[zealous ether]

uuuuh

[mellow trout]

Basically it's an amp if you're not running something like obliterate

[zealous ether]

i am

[mellow trout]

Then the TWD adds rather than them amping each other

[zealous ether]

so should i vigilance then"

[mellow trout]

Vigi is good yes

[tardy warren]

That’s multiplicative too!

[mellow trout]

But you can also run unstoppable force

[tardy warren]

The stacks of unstop are additive to themselves

[mellow trout]

Just depends on use case

[zealous ether]

ion know

i think ill keep the rhino for countdown for now

is rhino working in the shooting range? i dont see the boon

[vernal radish]

Any fast way to level up and level up expertise

[zealous ether]

shd mules>printer filament>invest in proficiency>repeat

[vernal radish]

Sweet

[dull vault]

Is there any discord server with open channels to join?

[rugged stratus]

does it require multikill, or specific type of seeker?

remember, you only need 6 out of 8 challenges complete to finish the page

[warm root]

I need to complete all scout 1 activities and activity 3’s hint is something with seeker mine but no specific “kill when on fire” or anything like that

[rugged stratus]

oic, not journey related. im no help on this

[crude quiver]

Kill 20 hostiles in East Mall with Seeker Mines (use cluster seeker mines is best with a skill build if you have it.) that's it: kill 20 bad guys with seeker mines

[lucid yew]

How do I fix this? Reached level 40 but my resource limit is 3999 instead of 9999

[dusky phoenix]

Guys what can I do with a Ravenous

[worldly fjord]

Looks like you didn't upgrade the "additional material capacity" from the quartermaster in the white house

Is this a non-boosted alt toon? Explains it if it is

[worldly fjord]

Good for the 4th boss of iron horse, to stagger her from blowing up your team.

Though i haven't raided in ages, there might be new strats for that

[mellow trout]

One shot strats

[dusky phoenix]

How does it work

stack red primers?

[mellow trout]

Blue

You stack blue primers then shoot an armoured target with dch to nego transfer the damage

[lucid yew]

That worked thanks I forgot that was even a thing and yeah I ranked up from level 1-40

[warm root]

I was missing being in East mall thank you!

[mellow trout]

Also with an Achilles mark I forgot

[compact furnace]

How much XP is needed to level up a single battle pass tier?

[sour mortar]

About 1k

Or sum like that

[nimble spruce]

If you're looking for voice channels for raids and the like, GCRock and the Community division 2 discord are popular options

[slim elk]

am I blind cause I don't see the DARPA mission ;-;

oh it's because I've never done Pentagon before

[deep raven]

Is it just me...or do skills like striker drone and whatnot feel worse then they used to...?

[thorny gazelle]

Is there a way to increase the amount of stat improvement an item gets when its optimized?

[nimble spruce]

If you mean how far you can optimise it in total, that's limited by the stats you have saved in your recalibration library.
If you mean the size of each optimisation 'step', no, that follows a fixed formula.

[buoyant escarp]

How do i increase my seasons padd fast ive been doing everything and just at 23

[nimble spruce]

Weekly projects on all characters, scouts, season journey, priority objective strongholds

[sudden matrix]

Incursion is actually pretty good season xp at like 400 and some per completion.

[zealous ether]

should i use concussion for determined build? with sr1?

[nimble spruce]

Vigilance is the usual pick

[cedar schooner]

White death is also the usual pick now

[zealous ether]

how so

[sudden matrix]

Maths.

Is you're solo it doesn't matter tho.

[mellow trout]

concussion is a good alternative to vigi if you have uptime issues

[zealous ether]

but sr1 stable and reloads tho

dont i already overkill anything?

[sudden matrix]

Yes, hence my it doesn't matter tho. If you got the damage you gud.

[zealous ether]

ait bet

and should i go for hotshot stuff or full highi end?

whats the 'go to'

[sudden matrix]

The go to is how hard you wanna farm tbh. 3pc hots 1 airaldi 1 chainkiller and one whatever you want is the easy route.

[zealous ether]

i mean heroic stuff

[sudden matrix]

Solo heroic ez

[nimble spruce]

I like 4pc hotshot for the qol reload and aok

[zealous ether]

define aok

armor on kill?

[nimble spruce]

Armour on kill

Bonus armour too which helps keep vigilance up

[zealous ether]

ait so, perf chain, airaldi backpack, rest hotshot?

[nimble spruce]

Works for me

[zealous ether]

ait bet thanks

[mellow trout]

yeah

[sudden matrix]

One option yeah, tons of different setups work for solo heroic.

[mellow trout]

4th hotshot is flex

[zealous ether]

what about group play

[sudden matrix]

Just chainkiller and vigi backpack

[nimble spruce]

Yup. I've got a memento and 3 skill tier version with future perfect that can get OC turret and drone while still one shotting elites in solo heroic

Good for practice hitting enemies that are flinching from all the skill damage

[warped gull]

hi agents, once again sorry if this has already been asked, i just got lvl 40 and finished the dlc campaign, and i'm reading a lot about increasing world tier but i'm not quite sure how or where i do see what tier i am in, i've completed a stronghold and the 3 required missions to do it but i don't really know what to do, can anyone please give me some directives ? best regards

[viscid dagger]

Is scalpel too low damage to use, could get one less skill tier

[mellow trout]

tac 308 is usable now surprisingly

[viscid dagger]

Could probably just use that and shave a tier off

Since future perfection stacks to 4

[nimble spruce]

Honestly don't recall testing it

I was using Adrestia for the flex

[nimble spruce]

There are no world tiers any more. Instead you can increase world difficulty from the map screen. Priorities for you would be farming a proper build, filling your recalibration library, farming blueprints, season journey, etc.

[cedar schooner]

now the 308 is pretty close in damage, so there's a good chance you can hit the same breakpoints and maybe get a lil extra damage compared to other mag fed MMRs

[warped gull]

that's what i thought, great thank you very much for your answer, last question, is there some ilvl difference between activities difficulties ? like do u get better gear the higher the difficulty ?

[nimble spruce]

Difficulty affects the stat rolls (specifically, the minimum of the average of the rolls), so you can find max rolled stuff on Normal but it's much more likely on legendary.
Best item farm to get you started is to matchmake for Countdown on challenging difficulty, you can pick your target loot and it won't matter much if you're not really pulling your weight at first since it's an 8 player mode.

Just don't use damage skills at the start or end of a run, they can get hacked and used against you

[zealous ether]

@rugged stratus yo, so why am i on 90% hazpro tho
