[sudden matrix]

You can just run the world diff on normal tho.

[inner tendon]

Even on Normal, if you're not used to Hunters w/out a proper build, they can curbstomp you.

[covert sierra]

im new to game so should i use the level boost? or should i save it for an alt?

[alpine granite]

getting this snitch to spawn is killing me

[nimble spruce]

find a convenient spawn point (close to a fast travel point) and just log off and on and visit until he shows up, usually takes <5 tries

[alpine granite]

east downtown bounty

the one that spawns right outside the safehouse

[inner tendon]

Space Admin, 180 degrees in the other direction, walk a few steps forward. If you see no ???, restart and try again.

[nimble spruce]

unless you accidentally spawned him somehwre else in the last 30m, then he'll be on cooldown

[nimble spruce]

that one won't give you a bounty in downtown east though

[alpine granite]

yeah, hes right outside the safehouse he just wont spawn already logged out like 30 times

[inner tendon]

Oh that's what it's for?

[alpine granite]

yuh

the season manhunt mission

[nimble spruce]

tbh just capture some of the CPs and farm hostage rescues, they give bounties and are frequently black tusk

[inner tendon]

I saved up a Bounty last week so didn't need it.
If in doubt: clear and Supply Drops, can take aaaages.

[worldly fjord]

I managed to have a supply drop in downtown east, only 17 BT in there :/

[buoyant escarp]

Any pfe mods for sale this week?

[gray bluff]

2 questions. Would I be able to farm Lexington AR currently? Would I be able to farm Strega exotic AR currently? Ty in advance!

[marsh tundra]

lexington no, strega yes

[gray bluff]

Tysm!

[waxen ice]

Does the 5x XP also count for the season passes xp?

[inner tendon]

It's just the SHD Watch XP.

[waxen ice]

Ah alr, ty

[supple galleon]

How would you guys feel about a Gundam x The Division 2 collab?

[stuck pebble]

is this bug it doesnt get complete. and i have it on

[nimble spruce]

has to be melee kills

[stuck pebble]

if its with the shield ive done that and nothing

[pseudo tundra]

try sweet dreams or claws out, blood knuckle and lady death combo for melee damage

it's annoying but melee is counting

[nimble spruce]

yeah, melee counted fine for me

maybe log off and on again, that fixes some things not tracking

[stuck pebble]

ok ima try that combo with a shield or normal melee

[pseudo tundra]

it has to be with the shield

[stuck pebble]

crazy now is working Bugvision

[covert sierra]

should i use the character boost on my first character? or use it on an alt when im done with base game

[pseudo tundra]

Would say to use it on an alt

[hollow trout]

are there any long time players that wouldn't mind chatting with a newer player and answering any questions?

[rapid bloom]

sure man if we can answer

[rugged stratus]

Ask away

[runic tiger]

So I haven't played d2 ever. but I did play the divison 1 extensively. Is it worth picking it up now and starting from zero? I see it has 5k players more or less so I assume most activities are still normally playable?

Also I'm really wondering how the state of the dark zone is

[covert sierra]

didnt played division 1 but game is still pretty much active matchmaking works alright

[runic tiger]

Would the dark zone be hell for a new player?

[hollow trout]

i finished the campaign and there's a lot of shit that I can possibly do. What is the recommended stuff to focus on to try to start creating builds

[runic tiger]

Also is there a mode like in Division1 where it was somewhat like a survival during a snow storm?

[rugged stratus]

Countdown is a good place to start farming builds. Check out the pinned spreadsheet In #td2-build-advice
There are a lot of solid builds and detailed guides for each

Striker, fire eclipse, turret drone skill damage, and sniper setups would all be pretty easy to setup and use

[hollow trout]

yeah i have a boofed form of skill damage with refactor atm

[rugged stratus]

Itll give a clearer image on the builds you should pursue after that

[crimson abyss]

special ammo directive acting like scavenged skill

[slim elk]

known issue

[crimson abyss]

dang i just got back on after dinner and noticed

[mellow trout]

Yeah I don't see why not, dirt cheap on a sale and you can squeeze even more out of this one

Survival didn't make its way to div2

[winter needle]

Pick it up, still fun. Dark zone is hit or miss.

[quick folio]

Shooting and killing once in the head with one weapon, procs half (or whatever) the amount of headhunter, and when swapping to another weapon, it maxes it out without firing it, this is in shooting range. Does it behave the same in OW?

[dull tulip]

I gotta ask this super DUPER important question.

…

Pineapple on pizza yes or no.

I gotta know man the community must answer

[wispy merlin]

this is intended because your second weapon has lower base damage

headhunter gives you a "headhunter bonus" that scales off the weapon's base damage, so if you swap to another weapon, the bonus transfers, and if this weapon's base is lower than your previous one then it's understandable that the bonus would be maxed

[quick folio]

I took the forst shot with nemesis

Great, now i dont have to pick my targets lmao

[wispy merlin]

which is fine

that's how the nemesis is intended to be played

you get first stack with nemesis to max out hh bonus on your main mmr

[quick folio]

Noice noice

Is expertise max 28?

[wispy merlin]

yes

[quick folio]

Bet

[rapid bloom]

is there a way to open all proficiency box all at once?

[quick folio]

Missing a few more items

[quick folio]

A good feature like that? You must be kidding

[rapid bloom]

i mean same with the apparel keys

[inner tendon]

The game director has said that they'd love to be able to do that, but it would cause some serious server issues.

tl;dr "hopefully one day, we're looking into it".

[quick folio]

Do i need to get st elmos first, to be able to get it from exo cacches, or can i just cache them (i have it im asking for a friend)

[inner tendon]

You should be able to just get it from the Caches, but honestly; you're more likely to get one to drop from TL (targeted loot) before an Exo Cache, as caches are 100% random from their pool.

[quick folio]

bet

[quick folio]

mayo

[dull tulip]

Ya gots to answer the question since your AI

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT PINEAPPLE ON PIZZA

I gotta know

[inner tendon]

Yes, but only the right way. Not the american way.

[dull tulip]

@junior sequoia what do you think Anna

Your rouge do you do the rouge way of pizza?

[dull tulip]

Also there is a Right way?

[junior sequoia]

1: Preference is something individual and variable, so I don't think my opinion on this is relevant
2: this question is unrelated to the division 2 and it doesn't help players with any useful information at all.

[quick folio]

can you dye kajika outfit?

[mellow trout]

No

[hoary charm]

Hi guys. Few days ago I struggled with my character I was not able to fast travel to NY. But that is the reason we created and joining such groups I thank you all. Since I have created a new character I managed to get to level 40 my watch is back to my level now I'm enjoying the game thanks.

Now it keeps me thinking that creating new characters how does it help your other character? Or how does it affect or develop it. As it was my first doing such a thing it got me amazing to see that my level was back, gear weapons and all that.

[robust vigil]

Does anyone know why Sweet Dreams shotgun is not listed in Expertise in tinkering table?

[stone skiff]

Maybe a queue system, where if more than X amount of players want to open caches, they're queued for the appropriate amount of time to avoid server issues?

[odd condor]

It's listed as its Lullaby preorder bonus version, they share progression if you have a Lullaby

[hollow trout]

is there any good ways to sort and delete loot quickly? still kinda newish so I feel like im keeping too much.

[rancid dirge]

Buddy logged into his main, switched characters after awhile and his 5xp is showing complete. Didn’t get more than a few shd levels. This has happened before so is there a fix or are Devs aware?

[mellow trout]

Known bug iirc

[ocean acorn]

Can I still get a perfect bloodsucker backpack currently?

[mellow trout]

Yes but it's DZ exclusive

Open named caches or legacy caches to get it or farm dz

[ocean acorn]

Okay big help thanks.

[lucid pulsar]

Do i have to do something specific in invaded GWH to get Nemesis' blueprint or do i just complete the mission?

[marsh tundra]

you need to get the part from the boss iirc

[lucid pulsar]

So just kill the boss of the mission?

Some website says i just need to smack Puck

[marsh tundra]

yeah thats the one

[nimble spruce]

It's the first of the three bosses, in the lobby

[clever cradle]

@junior sequoia Where i can send ideias and sugestions for the game (Division 2)?

[junior sequoia]

Here's my answer
👉🏻https://youtu.be/vhXG3RN8tLA?feature=shared👈🏻

[clever cradle]

🤣

[sour mortar]

https://x.com/agent_jo_tv/status/1899778278551921035?s=46

[pseudo tundra]

Well would explain why the agent that is calmly walking around has no signature weapon on his backpack if it is a weird DZ

[azure bobcat]

Hey guys anyone tell me how to get the capacitor exotic ar

[nimble spruce]

Head to summit, open map menu and go to challenges tab, you need to complete 5 of those

[azure bobcat]

It doesn’t show for me

[nimble spruce]

Are you level 40?

[azure bobcat]

Im higher level than 40

[nimble spruce]

You can't see summit on your map? It's above the DC map, on the right

[robust vigil]

Where do you get the backpack they announced? Don't see it in mailbox or already in apparel

[marsh tundra]

its on reward tab in cache

[robust vigil]

Cache?

[rugged stratus]

It's also an apparel mod, need to goto appearance tap to select it

[robust vigil]

It's not in my apparel

[marsh tundra]

the stash i mean

there 3 tab in your stash

[robust vigil]

I don't have a reward tab

[rugged stratus]

You have special delivery

[marsh tundra]

its the mailbox

there are 3 tabs there

its in special deliveries

[rugged stratus]

Already pictured

[robust vigil]

the one that says 0?

[marsh tundra]

it doesnt always tracks whats in it

[robust vigil]

I realize now that I think I left my game open overnight, so I'm restarting now to see if that triggers it to appear

[marsh tundra]

lmao

[rugged stratus]

It does.

[rugged stratus]

That sounds about right

[robust vigil]

There we go, that was it 🙂

Ty!

[marsh tundra]

np

[rugged stratus]

Didnt need us at all 😎

[robust vigil]

Nah, help was appreciated either way ❤️

[marsh tundra]

no, he needed us to make it appear dont worry we are magicians

[robust vigil]

Is there a way to easily find the Snitch? Or is it just look around the map/wait for someone else to find them and post their location?

[coral charm]

Nah it’s really just that

There’s maps of spawn locations, otherwise it’s a daily hunt

[nimble spruce]

He has a high chance of spawning at any one of his spots when you get close enough, you can pick an easy one to visit, and if he's not there just log off and on and try again, usually only takes a few tries.

[robust vigil]

Ohh, so he's not consistent for the day?

[nimble spruce]

Only issue is if you accidentally spawned him somewhere else without noticing, he has a 30m cooldown before he'll spawn again

[nimble spruce]

Nah, lots of people seem to think the place he spawns is randomly decided, but it's actually just whether he spawns when you get close that is random.

[ocean acorn]

Can I get Liquid Engineer from focusing Bellstone armory on countdown or summit? Thanks.

[narrow kraken]

Pretty sure it’s a DZ exclusive

[coral charm]

Really? I swear I’ve pulled one in regular game

[mellow trout]

it is

[coral charm]

Let me check real quick

Yep. I was thinking of named caches

[gray mason]

Hmm... I actually think I got one from regular game as well. I never do DZ, and I have a Liquid Engineer in my stash 🤔

[nimble spruce]

Named cache probably, occasionally they get sold by countdown vendor too

Also possible to get the blueprint from descent

[waxen sinew]

I am hearing rumors that the Lexington returned today. Is it true?

[nimble spruce]

Today we got a new giveaway, a backpack skin. Not heard any mention of Lexington.

[atomic coral]

@tough mural this one

Afaik this is open beta exclusive

Least thats what looking online has said

[waxen sinew]

Thanks.

[warped gull]

Hi agents, i'm a bit lost regarding where to find the "golden ball" challenges, can anyone enlighten me please ?

[nimble spruce]

Golden bullet? Main menu - Seasons tile - timeline - go across to golden bullet and show details

[warped gull]

right, golden bullet sorry, thanks a lot ! so you basically activate it and do open world events if i understand correctly ?

[nimble spruce]

Open world, missions, summit, yeah

You'll earn stars which you can spend at a seasons vendor in the white house courtyard

[warped gull]

thanks a lot guys, thanks for always being so réactive and helpful !

[gray mason]

If you are talking about the patch the character is wearing. I have it too, but I don't believe I have ever played the open beta 🤔

[atomic coral]

Potential is that I'm just an idiot and its from ubi connect xd

In which case, oh well

[gray mason]

Honestly, I always thought I got it from having played the game Pathfinder because I was playing it at the time, which is why I never thought anything of it. I just collected the patch from UBI Connect 😅

[atomic coral]

Honestly that makes sense

I see the logic since theres apparel stuff locked behind other tom clancy games

[spare girder]

How do u get the second one?

[rugged stratus]

its an shd patch. it changes and matches your watch face

[atomic coral]

That's from shd 1000

As localdeck said it apparently changes as you keep going up

[rugged stratus]

oh 1k plus, nice. wasnt sure

gotta hit that 9k plus for the sexy one tho 😎

[median heath]

What activities are best to farm xp rn?

[nimble spruce]

@wraith lagoon #lfg-pc is the place to find other players to join with

[nimble spruce]

Open world stuff like control points and activities with many directives as you can reasonably handle

[median heath]

Strongholds not worth the time ?

[nimble spruce]

They're good for season xp but not so much for regular xp

[median heath]

Thanks 👍🏾

[spare girder]

How did u get the patches below and on the right of first rogue red patch?

[atomic coral]

Leto and Nyx League

From when we still used to have the mission speedrun things

[muted ginkgo]

Is there a way to do this weeks Scout objective 2?

[nimble spruce]

Green activities like hostage rescue and supply drops have high chance of being BT, so clear all the CPs in the area to get some to spawn

[muted ginkgo]

I see - thank you!

[median heath]

Man all those patches look sick! How many are paid

[marsh tundra]

i dont think there are any paid patch

[wispy merlin]

nah the game is p2w

i paid this guy and he gave me bighorn, told me super hard to get

[atomic coral]

None of em

[atomic coral]

Bighorn is legendary exclusive, but technically obtainable from the DZ

[worldly fjord]

They're all free but some of them cant be obtained any more

Like the ones from leagues

[wispy merlin]

he told me to put on drone turret and he farm for me

@cedar schooner is good leg farmer

[atomic coral]

I got mine from the dz xd

Not an eb but honestly idm, defied the odds

Wasn't even AR targeted

[sudden matrix]

Well AR targeted doesn't help with that anyway.

The three special exotics are a secondary chance so TL just doesn't help it.

[torn minnow]

Is there a place I can contact Massive or Ubi over the veteran rewards program? My account is multiple years old and I hadnt logged in until two weeks ago, and I have not received a lexington

[wispy merlin]

it doesn't matter how old your account is, if you didn't log in during the event period you don't get it

[torn minnow]

and the period was from when to when?

[wispy merlin]

#news-and-announcements message

[plain wigeon]

guys is relic good for hotshot build?

[marsh tundra]

no

you need normal determined talent

[sudden matrix]

Perfect determined will be consumed on your next headshot where as normal determined is self proccing loop only interrupted by helmets/not head having things like dogs or skills but some things like dogs will give you determined after it's death animation.

[marsh tundra]

only if you oneshot it with determined buff

but yes, everything that dies, even without a head, if you oneshot it, it will give you the determined buff back

you wont have the headhunter buff tho

weird interaction

[sudden matrix]

At this point I'm pretty sure it's the most broken OP thing I've seen in any game.

[nimble spruce]

24th Nov to 1st Jan

[pseudo tundra]

i've seen games with more busted glitches, but in long term game as service balancing without bugs?

determined sure is ahead on the race

[marsh tundra]

yeah the fact that its intended is wild

[pseudo tundra]

well yes and no

it was fixed and bugged once

anyhow i just hope after brookly then can finally do some old pending stuff like spec rework

[rugged stratus]

I thought spec rework was dead

[sudden matrix]

They have gona back and forth a few times so idk what the most current stance is on it.

[rugged stratus]

Before descent launched I think they mentioned the dead status of it. So it's been a few minutes

[wide patrol]

It's been 2 days and I still can't find any Black Tusk activity in Downtown East not even bounties, help please

[tulip fiber]

Clear control points, then look for public executions. Those should be Black Tusk. Save both hostages, get a bounty.

[wide patrol]

Thanks, I'll try that

[pseudo tundra]

they mentioned spec rework is not dead just not a priority, so i assume they might start working on it after DLC

but it's more of a hope tna being sure

[mossy cypress]

What if u accidently deleted the anniversary backpack I'm on ps4

[pseudo tundra]

it's a cosmedic

i'm not even sure if you can delete them

[mossy cypress]

Ok

[hearty rampart]

My second week drops didn't appear to me, can someone help me ?

[full crown]

I just finished it not long ago and it was a hassle with the black tusk. If you go to the control point north left you will find black tusks around it (Heroic) I just reset or restart and head back there. Also I didn't kill all of them because one of them revives several ones so you kill them again

[mossy cypress]

Who needs help, I do stream on Twitch too

[sudden matrix]

If you need help we can help you in build advice or here.

[mossy cypress]

Ok

Ps4 ERum97 and also have 2nd account SheWolf Cherry97

[sudden matrix]

Do you need help with a game mechanic or builds?

Best way to farm xp for the event?

[marsh tundra]

no promotion allowed

[sudden matrix]

Or perhaps you'd like to know things about incursion or raids?

[sudden matrix]

They need our help tho.

[marsh tundra]

then go help, but you cant promote your twitch

also they proposed help, not saying they need

[sudden matrix]

lol I looked at the dudes profile for a second and they live near me. Creepy.

[sudden matrix]

Naw they need help.

[marsh tundra]

not what they said but doesnt matter, still no promo

[pseudo tundra]

anyhow

[sudden matrix]

lol

[pseudo tundra]

to find people to play just hit the correct lfg channel

[mossy cypress]

Whatever

[vale gust]

So i want to ask a question here so lets say today i got an eagle bearer or any sort of gun right and i were to find that gun again except i leveled up and found it again the next day would that change any sort of stats of that said gun like does the core damage change?

i hope you guys get what im trying to ask lol

[quick folio]

Can i adjust sensitivity for higher zoom scopes individiually?

[quick folio]

It would be at the level you dropped it iirc

[inner tendon]

You can "upgrade" Exotics to Lvl 40.

It's why when you're levelling up, we always say "trash everything, except the Exotics".

[quick folio]

Yea i forgot about that

[heady drum]

How can i earn cool sets without spending any money on the game ?

[pseudo tundra]

gear or cosmedics?

[nocturne siren]

@rugged stratus approve? would use firewall but the tech fairday cage is so nice lol

foam + stinger

[cedar schooner]

no reason for firewall on foam eclipse. I'd use survivalist IMO, but faraday is reasonable.

[heady drum]

Cosmetic

[pseudo tundra]

you can find them in the open world, opening caches when you level up, during some events, buying with textiles that you get from duplicate cosmedics

some are rewards for doing something but not that many

and most of those are patches and masks

those are how you get stuff without paying

season pass has a couple but not many on the free track

[heady drum]

[old crown]

is it a good idea to skip to warlords of new york?

[slim elk]

if you don't mind the rogue skills then it's not as interesting

[old crown]

okay then ill start from scratch

[wispy merlin]

i think you misread

[slim elk]

what

[old crown]

what?

[rugged stratus]

[rugged stratus]

Looks good. Also scratches a couple of my own build itches. Approval granted.

[waxen ice]

Think they're saying that he should Skip warlords of new york, instead of skipping TO WONY

That's what I got out of it

[rugged stratus]

Effin weird. Gave me an error for the above msg , ig only I can see it? Go home clyde bot... you drunk

[wispy merlin]

skip to warlords of new york

your answer is about "skip warlords of new york"

anyways he left

[slim elk]

bru

I tried

[wispy merlin]

for some reason

💀

[nocturne siren]

OOPS I mean survivalist 😂😭

BTW update, shotgun build is now created. 5.11 build next 👀

5.11 build will be a cakewalk tho. Gonna shift the DZ checkpoints with this one 🔥🗣️

[heady drum]

The shd watch is in the dlc?

[inner tendon]

@heady drum Not anymore, no.

[robust vigil]

Anyone have a good mission/spot to farm seeker mine kills for Season Journey IV?

[safe ingot]

new player can anyone help me with aaron keener?

[cursive canopy]

Hi all, I've finished the main campaign and am currently just working on finishing up to world tier 5 before starting WoNY. Should I be worrying about builds atm, or just equip the strongest weapons and gear that I obtain and worry about my build later?

I just found that a lot of the weapons/gear that I'm getting are easily outclassing the ones that I enjoyed using through the campaign.

[slim elk]

World Tiers don't exist anymore. Plus you don't actually need WoNY to level to 40.

Yup, don't focus on builds until lvl40.

[cursive canopy]

Oh? I didn't know, after I finished the campaign I gave it rest before I worked on the world tiers. That's even better

What does WoNY do for you nowadays then?

[slim elk]

it now only gives you the rogue skills

and nothing more

[cursive canopy]

Interesting, wonder why that isn't explained clearer in their store pages

[slim elk]

they have forgotten about that, but it was listed in the patch notes

[sly mulch]

Hey my friends and I are past lvl 30. We are trying to do control point mission to progress but it didn't save progress and made us complete over. Also locked some of us from doing it saying "must complete story". Anyone ever see this desync issue?

[worldly fjord]

is the "Bargain bundle" included in the 30 Euro season pass or is it seperate?

[worldly fjord]

just checked blue sky but couldnt find anything

[harsh lion]

Is there a way to hide trophy items so they dont appear hanging on your backpack?

Not the ones from the Apparel page

[solar gale]

Question regarding pestilence: i have one with lvl 29 can I Upgrade this one to 40 or should I have to get an new one?

[fringe herald]

Is the new exotic glove from y6s3 able to be obtained via exotic cache? I doubt I’ll have time to play long enough to grind the pass

[slim elk]

get a new one, you can't upgrade in that way

[solar gale]

Thx for quick Response

[fair flint]

How do I craft exotic weapons

[nimble spruce]

Only a few exotics are craftable, they generally have little project chains to get all the pieces: liberty, nemesis, chatterbox, regulus, Ridgeway's Pride, dodge city holster.
Search online for guides to each one.

[nimble spruce]

You should be able to upgrade to 40 using the reconfigure crafting recipe from the crafting bench

[nimble spruce]

You'll almost certainly have to earn it from the pass before it joins your exotic loot pool, or wait until next season.
If you focus priority objective strongholds you can grind out the season pass pretty quickly though

[pearl pasture]

How would you feel if the division games had a trading system like other games? Say borderlands for example? On one hand i'd love to be able to give people stuff at any point without them needing to be a share target but on the other side i feel like it would become rather pointless to grind gear, especially rarer stuff. Wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this too. 🙂

[heady drum]

Sooo i just got invaded by the "We gonna F u up" faction and i wanna ask should i go after the strongholds again? i also just got to lvl 30 and now the game is done with the hand holding and im lost

[nimble spruce]

Yes, do the strongholds with the new faction to progress the story

[oak gazelle]

@polar umbra see full headhunter with exactly 150%

[nimble spruce]

If you can get to exactly 150% hsd it's easy to test yourself in the range. If you can't, it doesn't matter.

[oak gazelle]

you can see the buff on the left image and the bar is full, which mean full headhunter buff

this is how it looks when you're below 150%

[hazy flicker]

I always imagined if Ubisoft did one spinoff Division game where Los Angeles was our playground and (if E3 was still around) pull a LA skit of costumed Agents coming in during the Presentation to announce a “evacuation/shelter in place”…. I was at E3 in person for the Division 2 announcement. It’s actually where I met the only other Division cosplayer at E3….. A Div 1 Faye Lau, crutch and bandaged eye to boot too. lol Those… were the good old days

[inner tendon]

Armed people walking into a crowded convention centre in the US, and giving the warning that is usually reserved for an active shooter?

Something tells me that wouldn't go down very well.

[hazy flicker]

I mean… doesn’t have to be armed yesh

For reference like a Disney show they put on at Avengers Compound at CA Adventure

[hazy flicker]

Huh…. True

Nvm

[cobalt robin]

hello if you recalibrate a weapon's talent with another one, does that other one disappear or it just stays there forever?

[inner tendon]

Once a "thing" is added to your Library: you have it forever.

[cobalt robin]

ohhh

oh thats cool i dont have to keep replacing it

thank you! ❤️

[junior sequoia]

Does the exodus gloves drop on target loot or does it have some restriction like bighorn or tardigrade? One guy I met a few days accidentally deconstructed his Exodus from the Battle pass and we're trying to get another one.

[cedar yacht]

probably tl if it works the same as last season

[warm pawn]

I've just started from scratch the division 2 on PC can you guys give me some advices on what should I do?

[sudden matrix]

Play the story and enjoy the map and missions. Don't worry about gear/builds/farming until you hit level 40 and get the SHD watch.

[chilly flicker]

Im a returning player, last time I played was late 2023. I logged in recently and was overwhelmed with the overhaul to seasons, new mechanics, and the revamped recalibration station.

Am I to understand that priority obj's are the only way to progress season pass level, or are they just the most efficient?

[bronze idol]

journey missions are the most effective way as far as im aware. priority objectives are alright as well. you could also do both at the same time, try stacking things together and complete multiple at once

[wispy merlin]

regular things also give season xp as well

just not as much

[dusty quest]

Are there any groups that run raids daily? Raid Lfg channel dont seem to effective to get in raids

[nimble spruce]

GCRock and Community discords run more raids than us as they still have voice channels

[finite ice]

Relatively new and heard there was 5x XP. Is it 5x for everyone or does it only apply after you've hit that cap?

[sudden matrix]

You need to be level 40 and have the SHD watch to get the exp from the event.

[finite ice]

Figured, thx

[forest bone]

The XP event is a great way to get caught up. I hit 1000 last night after only playing for about 2 weeks now.

[harsh lion]

That's so wild. It took me a year to hit 1000 lol

[forest bone]

Yeah I played the game before on PSN a few years back and I maybe hit 175-200 in a few months.

[karmic hawk]

I've had so many exotic drops through priority objectives, caches and Countdown runs this season (more than I can keep track of) since getting the gloves and they haven't dropped once. Even with targeted loot. I would say it's bad RNG but the Oxpecker hasn't either, so I'm starting to wonder if they're even in the loot pool yet.

But then I've not seen a single pair of Acosta Knees since I returned to the game during last season so who knows

[thorny gazelle]

Any idea why i suddenly cant increase alert levels at Control points? Playing on challenging

[nimble spruce]

it might be the activities you're doing are not connected to any CP (you can see a line on the map if they are). Max alert level is 4, so you should only need 1 activity to bring the connected CP to 4.

If you prefer playing lvl 4 CPs you could just increase your world difficulty to heroic, then they'll all be at that level by default.

[sage delta]

this game do not support any upscaling tech right?

[tiny stump]

for this journey task I just need to use vendetta and hope that some enemies show up with the pistol symbol over their heads?

[wispy merlin]

AND kill them with a pistol

[tiny stump]

ok got it thanks

[quick folio]

All day today my game launches so weird, i have missing arms, weird textures, and like 10 less fps my gpu utilisation is like 25%

Ok got it working finally

[muted meteor]

Is there a fast way of getting 200 kills with seekers?

[rugged stratus]

Using hardwire to spam hard missions

[signal lily]

Question for those smarter than myself
Can you get Exodus Gloves from Exotic Caches before you get them from the season pass?

[mellow trout]

No

[signal lily]

Thank you

[sweet python]

Im on my first ever td2 playthrough and im playing hardcore any tips?

[slim elk]

if I were you I wouldn't go Hardcore on my first play through

[sweet python]

Why not?

[slim elk]

only 1 life and I don't wanna get frustrated with it

[sweet python]

The game doesnt seem that hard tho

Does the difficulty ramp up?

[tiny stump]

Yeah. The game babies you at first

[muted rose]

100% does

[mellow trout]

Its not, but especially on your first playthrough you will die to random things you didn't account for

[sweet python]

I went to a normal character because my HC got softlocked

Is it cheating myslef if i grab the ruthless rifle from my mailbox?

[inner tendon]

@sweet python No, because it's locked forever to Lvl 1.

[quick folio]

You will die eventually.

So try not to

😃

[sweet python]

A bit late on the advice lol

[quick folio]

Shiii

[sweet python]

Look in the main td2 channel

[quick folio]

Idk where exactly

[calm rivet]

This is the strongest possible combination for one shot rifle build? Im using right now this variation.. just want to know from more experienced ppl or for rifle enthusiast if i can change anything to be stronger

[inner tendon]

That feels like it's from a youtuber.

[calm rivet]

Its my char

And i didnt copied it from yt.. i just trying switch pieces to get highest dmg possible

[inner tendon]

You should head over to #td2-build-advice, and get some proper help with that one.
It could use a few tweaks.

[calm rivet]

Ty i know i asked here cuz i can share a picture

But i will take the advice!

[inner tendon]

#td2-build-advice also has image permissions, GL Agent

[calm rivet]

Im feel dumb now 🤣🤣🤣

Ty for clarify it!

[plain wigeon]

do u guys know the best way to farm named drops? I need like 3 named pieces for my build

[wispy merlin]

farm the brands of those pieces

[plain wigeon]

one of them is exclusive to DZ but appears in named caches so like

I was hoping I could just spam named caches somehow

I need the gift, chain killer and foxes knees

[wispy merlin]

for raid? you don't need the gift

just use a normal vigilance bag

if for sniper build you want airaldi brand over providence

[plain wigeon]

not for raid

okay then I guess I'm stuck farming arialdi 😭

but I still need chainkiller and foxes knees

[wispy merlin]

super easy to farm, just target walker and overlord

[unreal leaf]

Could someone carry daily legendary stronghold?

[rapid bloom]

almost got 100 mobs spawn for 1 black tusk convoy that normal?

[ocean acorn]

any tips to finish the seeker mission fast with 200 kills?

[calm rivet]

Mb countdown is bugged! Im trying farm a new chainkiller.. did 10 countdowns and didnt get once

In the previous updates we get a lot..

Did with friends also.. and no one got a single chainkiller

Someone having problems with coutndow also?

[plain wigeon]

I got it

from countdown. I went used walker and harris as the target loot

10 countdowns is a really small sample size. U can't say the drops are bugged just because u are unlucky

[wind breach]

What brands do y'all just insta-scrap? I've got sooo much gear that I don't know what to do with. 😐

[charred shore]

I scrap everything I don't intend on using but the main ones you certainly don't need is anything with skill tiered gear set items, 5.11, rigger, ortiz, aegis, bulwark.

[calm rivet]

And mb 4 ppl in 10 straight runs..

Its the only named wk that drops there

Its whys i said MAYBE its bugged

And asked if someone is having problems

[mellow trout]

It is not bugged

Simply bad rng

[inner tendon]

@calm rivet Just to make sure: you are using Walker+Harris as your TL there, right?

"chest" is a vastly inferior choice.

[nocturne siren]

I have a weird ass question, scratching my head with this logic. Bear with me:

Is anyone here crazy enough to try a full hazpro sys Corr build with backfire? If anyone has any ideas, how would it work out and how would you build it? 👀

Been on the grind of goofy builds. I'm bored. Humor me

[open mountain]

headhunter sys cor

[nocturne siren]

Damn that actually works?

[open mountain]

maybe who knows

[nocturne siren]

I'll make a template ty 😩

[open mountain]

i would make it if i had a red core sys cor bag

but idgaf

[nocturne siren]

At that rate I'd just go airaldi bag with bloodsucker. Should give the damage from sys Corr talent bc bonus armor, no?

Unless the damage ONLY comes from the talent

[open mountain]

no idea

i wanted to run it with dodge city

i love dodge city

[marsh tundra]

sys corr isnt a good gear set

[open mountain]

wow actually i had no idea

umm how infinite medkits means infinite survivability

and it gives damage

#thenewmeta

[wheat onyx]

is there an FAQ page anywhere?

[plain wigeon]

do u guys know how I can get black tusk tactical assesments? I don't see any black tusk bounties. do I have to make the map invaded by blacktusk somehow? i forgot if there is a feature for that. I wish there was more explanation on what I can do or what I should do tbh. I see my friend doing alot of events I never heard of before like the manhunt mission

[marsh tundra]

you need to do hostage rescue to get bounties

[nimble spruce]

Public executions also work, there's usually a few in West Potomac park if you haven't cleared tidal basin this week

Or just craft them if you have the blueprint

[plain wigeon]

okay thanks

but like is the black tusk one just rng? I remember at some point I could make the whole map invaded by black tusk

[nocturne siren]

Don't worry, we know. I'm nearing shd 14k and I'm exhausted. Need goofy builds to fill the voidless replayable content this game has to offer

[nimble spruce]

You can't force it, there's a new invasion each week involving a random map area, it will stay invaded until you complete the invaded missions

[plain wigeon]

oh I see. thanks. maybe I was remembering wrong

[nimble spruce]

Just look for the map areas with red borders, they'll have lots of BT activities

Like east mall this week

[heady drum]

is there a way to turn Space Administration into Black Tusk version?

[nimble spruce]

Only if it's part of the current weekly invasion

[heady drum]

found it

i had to "toggle mission mode"

[trail mango]

I don't have Palisades gloves blueprints but a friend does.
Is there any way to get it or have I missed it forever since I didn't do the season?

[kindred ice]

Did they change the "eliminate named black tusk and cleaners" requirements?
Because it's not registering for me
Coney island missions should have completed it

[nimble spruce]

Only one named cleaner in those missions, and I think only 2 named BT

It's common to have to go do a bounty or two to get the rest.

[warm pawn]

Some glitch happened where I opened the mission summary after the mission ended and I closed it fast and my character stopped moving

I closed the game and opened back up and it's not moving I turned my PC off and on now

Nvm it fixed

[plain wigeon]

I just got kicked from the game because I was lagging and shooting the enemies that were standing still...

[sweet pendant]

is anyone is having an issue of delta-03 constantly?

[nimble spruce]

@wintry dune the place to look is #lfg-raid-console

[quick folio]

uh, how long does this last for? Woke up to it. No one has attempted logins besides me

(i mean they werent even attempts i played till like 8 hours ago)

(right, so seems like the vpn triggered this..had to turn it on to log back in)

[azure bobcat]

Hey guys is there a problem with the server I keep on getting kicked from the game

[muted ginkgo]

Is the Oxpecker obtainable from Exotic Caches?

[wind nimbus]

im trying to unlock gunner specialization and im stuck on this "take hostile convoy task" ive been fighting resource convoys that are heading to their control points but for some reason it doesnt count as me taking the hostile convoy? or maybe im doing something wrong thanks

[quick folio]

1: Not until season ends.
2, Yes if you get it from current season.

[muted ginkgo]

Well i got it from the season pass but i accidentally deconstructed it. So i was wondering if i could get it from Exotic Caches

[pseudo tundra]

if you already got it once then it should drop on exotic caches now

[muted ginkgo]

Alright. Already opened a lot with the GE stars but no luck so far 😛

[sturdy solstice]

Heyo

[nimble spruce]

Might mean a warhound convoy, you'll see them in West Potomac Park heading into tidal basin sometimes (assuming you haven't already completed tidal this week)

[wind nimbus]

alright will give it a try thanks

[calm rivet]

Any1 received any message with codes from the giveway?

Just to know.. cuz it ended.. i dont know if they already choose the winners

[nimble spruce]

I'd assume they'll dm you in Reddit if you've won

[heady drum]

is there a way to reset location loot ?

[marsh tundra]

it reset everyday

[heady drum]

I need to farm hyena keys

[marsh tundra]

you'll get them with time

[heady drum]

damn

[marsh tundra]

dont worry

[radiant merlin]

What's a good way to farm for named items other than summit?

[pseudo tundra]

#lfg-playstation

[pseudo tundra]

countdown probably, hunters at the end have a heavy bias to drop named items i would say

[radiant merlin]

Okay, thank you!

[pseudo tundra]

just make sure to sleect the right category of gear

[radiant merlin]

Aye, capn.

[heady drum]

how can u increase skill tier ?

[quick folio]

Equip a +1 skill fier gear

[heady drum]

👌

[lament bison]

Guys, I have a friend who might've accidentally grabbed a roll from "Adrestia" to their library(which causes the gun to vanish). They ask if they can get another one. If so, is there a "cooldown" or something before they can get another one from the case in tidal basin? 🤔

[rugged stratus]

next day it should be available

or after reset is more accurate

so like 8hrs from now

[tepid bronze]

The named SR1 from tidal basin is a one time thing afaik, i never got it from keycard room again after the first time

[pseudo tundra]

You can get the keycard, the rifle wont drop there again tho

[tepid bronze]

to get the named SR1 he'd need to get it from a named item drop/cache/mission reward

[rugged stratus]

adrestia will absolutely drop again if you meet certain conditions. op didnt deconstruct, they pulled an attribute off it, so they didnt get the first nemesis piece. if you dont have adrestia on agent or in stash, no nemesis on agent or in stash, and no nemesis parts on agent(mid project)
@pseudo tundra mentioned because i wanted both to be pinged

another run after reset will get an adrestia

[rugged stratus]

ive also never seen adrestia drop outside of tidal room and ive opened a metric ton od named item caches/7200hrs+. it doesnt work like you assert

[pseudo tundra]

well i skipped the whole context thing

[rugged stratus]

ik, just put out bad info

js

its easy to test, if you have an alt with no parts

[inner tendon]

As someone who once took a week and a half to actively farm a half-useful Adrestia so I could use it on my Hotshot setup, only to learn that it was untweakable, and then took another month+ to get a proper one: it does not drop outside of that box.

[quick folio]

Done, Finally

[tepid bronze]

i stand corrected, i didnt realize designated hitter was also a named SR-1, which is what I probably confused it with. that being said, i must have bad rng as i've never gotten a 2nd to drop outside of the first one for completing TD the first time

[unreal leaf]

On final boss of daily legendary stronghold need help

[quick folio]

i could try

[elfin chasm]

does any resource exist for returning players? looking to maybe come back and im guessing im missing some of the newer gearsets and whatnot
had 4 characters previously and around i think 3k shd level
tho i think ive forgotten 99% of this game already

[tepid bronze]

not all of them are worth grinding for imo but you could always target specific brands/gearsets via countdown or the summit

[elfin chasm]

think countdown is new

i used to do summit farming and that shit was braindead boring

i think ill have to redo all my loadouts too

[tepid bronze]

countdown is the current go to for farming targeted loot, i only mention summit because you can also target loot there and some people swear by it

[elfin chasm]

where can i find a list of current meta gear and where to farm it

[tepid bronze]

pinned spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice

[chilly flicker]

Any reason to hold onto trinkets, or is best to sell them?

[rugged stratus]

check the exo parts on the alt that you use. any nemesis parts will block it from dropping, and either weapon in your inv/stash of the agent you want it to drop on.
just got another one as a test to make sure my info was still accurate

[tepid bronze]

oh i need an alt, makes sense

[rugged stratus]

yeah, absolutely

[tepid bronze]

meh i cba for a MR im probably never going t ouse

but i will keep in mind for future reference

[rugged stratus]

oh you wont use it

[rugged stratus]

sell

[quick folio]

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1LPnA18PDgGg_dEbNI1kZVTVIMGXNHQS_

im surprised overgrowth isnt on the CP list

[elfin chasm]

holy thats alot of builds

[quick folio]

pick ur poison

[elfin chasm]

are all of em viable or are some for older patches

[quick folio]

all of em are viable for certain content

[elfin chasm]

i would 100% have to redo all my loadouts because the last time i was active i was mainly speedrunning dh and ih

all my presets are for different sections of those raids

😅

i think the primary dps buiild i ran back then was like some semi auto rifle that needed you to stay zoomed in

[quick folio]

yea a pristine focus

i mean it can still work

[elfin chasm]

i saw on yt ppl dont use nem anymore either for sniper builds?

back then nem was go to for farming summit

[quick folio]

not for sniper, but they do for ARs

[elfin chasm]

wait not nem... uh what was the exotic sniper

or was that it

[quick folio]

theres nemesis and mantis

[elfin chasm]

oh yes it was that, nem was more popular back then vs mantis

because of the damage

[mellow trout]

Nemesis is still popular for starting chains

[quick folio]

indeed

[mellow trout]

Mantis is less popular but severely underrated imo

[quick folio]

everything a mantis does, an sr1 does better with determined

[mellow trout]

A high end won't instantly cool off your decoy

50 percent amp pretty sweet too

It highlights heads too it's basically aimbot without the aim

[quick folio]

and everything would already be dead with determined

so no need to cool anything off

[mellow trout]

Determined expedites the process but with decent enough aim theres no need to use it

[quick folio]

idk i might give a shot to mantis, i usually end up getting shot anyway

[wispy merlin]

i might just do a solo master run with mantis seeing this convo

[elfin chasm]

at any point was there ever some sort of gear removal

for some weird reason alot of my loadouts from before are missing backpack

[quick folio]

bro i swear that also happens to me every time i come back

and i can never recall if i moved the gear around from character or something, or if its straight up gone

[elfin chasm]

i have 4 characters

[quick folio]

me 3

[elfin chasm]

theyre all missing backpacks

[quick folio]

yea i had a chameleon disappear at one point

[elfin chasm]

im 99% sure i didnt move the gear

[quick folio]

i had to farm another one, it was literally in loadout, marked as favorite and all that

[elfin chasm]

because i made it so every char had its own gearsets

[quick folio]

i wouldnt be surprised

[elfin chasm]

yea i dont get it

[quick folio]

how do i get to doing theo mission? I never touched the manhunt itself previously

[elfin chasm]

o well i guess theyre outdated gear anyway

[quick folio]

the master one i mean

prolly lmao

[elfin chasm]

well idk if theyre outdated but most of my gear is almost perfect

i also dont remember what most of the labels are lmao

[quick folio]

u maybe had either a memento

grupo/ceska with vigilance or something

[elfin chasm]

idk a bunch of stuff is missing

striker backpack is gone too

nothing in inventory and theres no striker backpack in stash

[quick folio]

Do i gotta do any of the previous difficulties to unlock master?

[elfin chasm]

thats a new difficulty

thinkRoll

[inner tendon]

@elfin chasm It's locked to the Climax Missions of each new Manhunt, so far we just have Theo's one unlocked at Space Admind HQ, but once all the Scouts are out, Kelso's one will be available.

[elfin chasm]

yea no idea whats that im trying to figure out what to do atm xd

99% sure the last time i was active was like during covid

[mental pier]

Last season when the mission became available, we had to complete it once on one of the regular difficulties before Master became available.

[quick folio]

how do i unlock the emp sticky

from what i see its on roosvelt island manhunt mission but idk where that is

ah nvm its the thing on the left

[muted grove]

Do I need to finish all the Black Tusk missions to keep control points friendly?

[slim elk]

No, you need to clear them and make them friendly

[muted grove]

I did, and they became hostile again after a bit

[slim elk]

because they get attacked by nearby activities

[muted grove]

So, they don't stay friendly?

[slim elk]

you can make them stay friendly as long as you keep them that way (defending)

[sudden matrix]

Yeah and resupplying them.

[blissful moss]

Is there a widget or something that notifies what the daily and weekly projects are in discord ?

[marsh tundra]

no, its random every day/week

[pliant river]

I've got this weird issue this morning, game runs fine until I enter the White House, then it drops to less than 1 fps. Is this a new feature?

[wind breach]

Yes, it came in with the Bureaucratic Efficiency patch.

[tall grotto]

Hello, vet coming back to the game, need to know whats the best ways to get exotics currently specificly ( bighorn, st elmo, mask that heals you starts with the letter C ) and thank you for reading

[marsh tundra]

countdown for most, bighorn is on legendaries, eb regulus and ravenous in raids

[inner tendon]

*Oh, and Ouro is locked to the Incursion.

[marsh tundra]

fk i missed that one

[tall grotto]

Cant you run legendary countdown?

[marsh tundra]

no

[tall grotto]

Kk

[marsh tundra]

also run challenging countdown, not heroic for speed

[inner tendon]

Besides, Bighorn is Named Enemies on Legendary, not just the difficulty itself.

@tall grotto You're also going to need to change your name.

[tall grotto]

Also whats pve meta currently

[marsh tundra]

striker, as always

[tall grotto]

Did scorpio hunters fury die or am i good ??

[marsh tundra]

its not bad but not the best

also you do need to change your name

[tall grotto]

My striker seems way too weak for some reason

Does expertise matter that much ?

[marsh tundra]

no

[tall grotto]

Its literally 0

[marsh tundra]

doesnt matter

[tall grotto]

And thats it

[inner tendon]

It's a miniscule increase even at Rank 10+.
Your name change is not a request, but I'm giving you the chance to do it yourself.

[tall grotto]

Thanks

What are you on about ??

Whats wrong with my name

[inner tendon]

As per the rules:
Please ensure that your display name does not contain any special characters and is taggable at all times.

Your name is not taggable.

[tall grotto]

You just tagged me 5 seconds ago

[inner tendon]

I used the default @ command, but that only works if you are recently active in the chat.

e.g. press @, then use the arrows.

[marsh tundra]

you're only taggable recently, not at all time

just change it to anything

[inner tendon]

Cheers

[flint hare]

guys can turrent nd drone do crit dmg?

i see some builds with crit hit nd chance on skills builds. it's worth it?

[nimble spruce]

Skills can't crit, the only reason to run crit on a skill build is to get more damage out of your weapon (usually capacitor) - so more of a hybrid build.

[runic tiger]

What am I supposed to do there

[nimble spruce]

For now, nothing - come back after you reach level 40

[heady drum]

is there any exotic which i can get from Outcast cases ?

[marsh tundra]

faction box can drop exotics at a low % chance

[heady drum]

so theres nothing like Chatterbox?

which u can only get from boxes

[marsh tundra]

chatter box is one of the 6 exotics you need to do a quest for it first

then it drops like any other exotic

its specifically from faction boxes at washington hotel iirc

you need to open them all to unlock it

[pseudo tundra]

naturally outcases have chance to drop sweet dreams but i dont think that applies to boxes, faction boxes in specific also have chance to drop acosta backpack

[runic tiger]

How do you change DZ lobby?

[heady drum]

is there anything i can buy with textiles ?

[marsh tundra]

yes, other skins aviable or some caches at danny vendor

[heady drum]

alr8 ty

[pliant river]

I found the fix for this common issue, close all or as many apps from the taskbar, then start the game. Then start whatever apps you need to run.

[atomic coral]

Didn't realise outcast crates dropped the exotic shotgun, thought it was just acostas

[pseudo tundra]

i did sya that dont apply to boxes

just that the old "drops" still happen

like how people still tend to get more chameleons from bounties

[buoyant escarp]

Hello guys - im a 1.5 month lvl 600 player - if I reach 1000 then start a " mule " character will I end up with 1000 " scavenging " points to min max my character??

[marsh tundra]

not 1k scav point, its spread around 5 stats so 200 points, but after 1k everything goes to scav

[buoyant escarp]

Oh ok thanks I wasn't sure of that

[atomic coral]

The whole making another char for scav points isn't really feasible until you hit 1.5-2k shd

Technically speaking 2k shd is fully upgraded, as your health continues to scale gradually until you hit that

[buoyant escarp]

Is 200 points even worth it? Also please how do I boost expertise. I have been playing non stop for 1.5 months and at expertise 6

[atomic coral]

You boost expertise by marking items as junk, entering the expertise menu (tinkering station in inventory), then hitting donate all junk

I only started focusing on expertise pretty recently (shd 1616 now, but only expertise 8)

[buoyant escarp]

I was SHD 200 after 1.5 months I got up to almost 700 in just w days using 5x xp event and 5 directives farming

2 days*

[wary spoke]

Is there a bug with Overdrive? I can't activate it most of the time, and when I am able to activate it, it has no effect...

[pseudo tundra]

it has a long cooldown, but otherwise it was working fine earlier today

[wary spoke]

I'll try relogging

Still not working

@pseudo tundra Thank you! It ended up being a cool down issue. Everytime you switch active modifier or load-in, it goes on cooldown. But the UI display doesn't stay grayed out the entire cooldown, so even though it appears you can activate Overdrive, in reality it's still on cooldown.

[hard charm]

Best way to level the Season Pass?

[pseudo tundra]

scouts, journey and priority objectives are the thing that give the most season XP

most others also give them

[echo thorn]

do you guys just straight up not do black tusk as sniper headhunter

this is my first sniper build and doing it on heroic is getting frustrating when you lose chainkiller bonus on dogs and bots

[narrow kraken]

People do it all the time, just need to get a stack back.. save a low health enemy maybe?

You can probably restack on a full health veteran add with a headshot

I mean the whole point of playing a sniper headhunter build is to headshot, not chain body shots 😛

[echo thorn]

Yeahh i know, idk. Got discouraged, but that makes sense.

Going from one shotting everything for 28mil to plinking 1mil body shots and getting rushed by dogs, ugh.

But I can save red mobs as fodder

[narrow kraken]

Knowing the spawns help.. so yeah just run it over and over till you know when and where all the robotics spawn :^)

Tbh if I didn’t know all the spawns I think that build would be a lot more difficult to play against Black Tusk

If you’re on Sharpshooter you can also pull out your tac50 for the stack

In fact that will bring you to max headhunter stacks when you switch back to your other weapon

[echo thorn]

After the xp event I'll also likely drop it down to challenging to get used to playing it more as well.

Get more used to actually clicking heads

[pearl pasture]

Can be odd but achilles pulse usually helps me with dogs. Might be worth a try. Goodluck!

[nimble spruce]

If you're not running determined then you need to shoot warhounds in a leg to one shot them (assuming you have HH stacks), then restack hh on other enemies

[echo thorn]

I'm using a determined white death, it's dtoc rolled as well. Woudl you just use determined to shoot a leg?

[nimble spruce]

If determined is active it won't matter where you shoot the dog since it forces a headshot regardless, you'll get your determined back after a few seconds when the dog finishes dying, but you'll still need another enemy to restack hh.

[echo thorn]

Alright, that makes sense.

I'm absolutely gonna drop a difficulty and get used to playing it better then.

[nimble spruce]

Yeah, it's worth noting that dependent on difficulty and group scaling, you might be able to 1-shot a warhound with just determined and no hh, which is useful if you have several to deal with

[echo thorn]

I've also been using hotshot backpack as a crutch and can likely get a lot more raw damage out with an airaldi pack which will help

[junior sequoia]

The guy on your profile image seems confident to do it.

[echo thorn]

Waiting for for it to die to keep determined going was a big thing, I was shooting other enemies in the body immediately and losing the perk I think

[ashen widget]

can someone explain how im suppose to go there

[warm pawn]

do i have to do the black tusk invasion to go to new york for wony or i can go directly there when i reah lvl 30?

[river tree]

I just got the game recently and I seen a lot of hunter fury build with SMG, so what is the best place to farm hunter fury?

[warm pawn]

if you are lvl 40 just do countdown (put hunters fury in targeted loot tho)

[river tree]

Im level 37 so I’ll probably have to level up more and then target farm hunter fury

Can you only get exotics at lvl 40+?

[nimble spruce]

You can go to NY at any time but if you go before clearing the invasion it'll count as a boost and auto-complete a bunch of stuff

[warm pawn]

is there any achievements during the BT invasion?

[white vector]

what SHD lvl do you need to be for when a new caracter gets the watch to max all material pool ? is it 4000 ?

[nimble spruce]

I think there's one for completing it, yeah - also any sure missions you haven't done yet will also be lost (can't be repeated unless you create another character from scratch)

[grizzled folio]

Hey guys, not sure if you guys also play decent for the comms, but l've been stuck at 81/90 ever since the season started. Whenever I do my weekly decent projects it doesn't give me any more comms. Is it bugged or is this what Daria and Yannick were talking about in the livestream that there's no way to get past season comms from decent? Someone said that comms rotate when they’re being given out and I just have to keep doing them till the 9 I’m missing in rotation. Help

[white vector]

done the calculation, it's shd lvl 2868

3668 if you count the 800 points for the bonuses

[light inlet]

hey ya'll, returned to the game after a few years break.
Is the Bluescreen LMG in the general lootpool(obtainable from exotic cashe) or do I have to do a manhunt or something?
Is there a list of items and where they drop etc. that's up to date?

[slim elk]

it is in the loot pool. and yes we have a spreadsheet with a lot of info 📌 #td2-build-advice

[mental pier]

I've been tracking these over the last few weeks and you might've seen one of my comments or posts somewhere. But yeah comm awards are fixed, meaning they're the same for each player every week. And because there were no new comms added this season, it looks like we began looping back through the existing comms, starting with last week's project. Last week's project awarded comms 1-7 and this weeks projected awarded comms 8-14. Very likely next week's project will be comms 15-21 and so on, until we've looped back through all existing comms by seasons end. If you already have the comms for a given weekly project, you unfortunately do not get any comms as a substitute. So if you already have comms 1-14, the last 2 weekly projects will not have given you any comms. You will have to wait until the weekly project rotates to batch of comms you are missing.

If you really want, you can find youtube playlists or posts from people who have listed every comm, so you can compare your lists to theirs and see which ones you're missing and then have an idea of which week they will likely be available, if the weekly projects continue with 7 comms each week. But might still be best just to run descent once each week and eventually we will reach the week where you are missing comms from.

[nimble ore]

Hi, where can I get determined talent from? I want to add this to my 1886 weapon

[slim elk]

afaik Determined is only for MMR

[nimble spruce]

Any rifle that drops or you craft has a chance of having it, best just to run countdown with rifle target loot to get one and extract to your library

[nimble spruce]

No, you can get it on rifles and pistols as well.

[slim elk]

oh

well I guess im rusty

[nimble ore]

Does anyone just have any spares that can drop it

[slim elk]

not how sharing works
Sharing works for the people who are/were in the same group with you and if the items were acquired with that group

[nimble ore]

Oh

Damn

Chainkiller & determined. I need these 2

[nimble spruce]

Matchmake for challenging countdown, very easy to get most loot that way

[mellow trout]

Unless they changed it in fairly sure you need the blueprint from manhunt JTC

[native siren]

do yall kno if the specialization tree damage bonuses apply in dz pvp

[slim elk]

some bonuses don't and show as "Disabled in PvP"

[native siren]

wrd tyty

[pearl stone]

Do status effect ticks (burn bleed etc) count as hits for the Catharsis effect to proc?

[narrow kraken]

I’m fairly certain it has to be a fresh application of a statis effect; existing ones won’t re proc it

[normal dagger]

Anyone know how many exotic components it takes to fully expertise weapons?

[rugged stratus]

around 60

maybe a hair more

[normal dagger]

Ok thanks for letting me know

[rugged stratus]

maybe we can get an update for expertise 28 on this pin

[rugged stratus]

tagged post is all the costs for 27. looks like 28 is closer to 70 if the trend holds

[normal dagger]

Awesome thank you

[slim elk]

i also replied with checking the pin but uh... idk

[rugged stratus]

its all good, its still really useful for planning on whats needed for mats

[wispy merlin]

notable exception is backfire bleed, it doesn't proc cath

[sour mortar]

I’m pretty sure 27 and 28 is the same

As of requirements

[rugged stratus]

nice, if the source updates just edit in the new one. or post it and ill try to get it pinned. its really useful

[sour mortar]

I’ll try. The funniest part. After I posted the pic and link in here. The website got token down 😔

See

[rugged stratus]

oh shit, alright.

[sour mortar]

That’s why I said the requirement for the lvl is the same as 27. If you look at the latter it follows a trend on higher levels

It goes up after 2 expertise levels. That’s my assumption

[rugged stratus]

sounds about right

[sour mortar]

Maybe an extra recon. But the pattern is pretty noticeable

It should be maybe 8/15/8 for expertise 28

Or one or both 8’s as a 9

I don’t see why they should be a 9 tbh

[rugged stratus]

i should be able to tell you in a sec.

[sour mortar]

Bet

[rugged stratus]

8-15-8. forgot i had items under 28 😅

[sour mortar]

I was right, by following the pattern

I don’t look at the start, I focus on the pattern for the last 6 aka 21-27

[quick folio]

curious, why u always recommend challenging?

[mellow trout]

More efficient than heroic

[sour mortar]

Easier than heroic, while getting good rewards still

[quick folio]

idk for the most part heroic is smooth sailing for me

(altho i kick the trash out)

[wraith ridge]

how many blueprints can I get (exact amount) from the control points, missions until the rest of the blueprints is unlocked via descent?

[pearl stone]

😦

[fringe herald]

Isaac telling me to go in here but I checked 7 times it’s a dead end

[slim elk]

IIRC it's to the left passing a plastic curtain

[fringe herald]

This area?

I’m stuck on this mission for 30 min it’s annoying

[dense basalt]

There's a hole in the ground go in turn left go straight

[fringe herald]

It’s unable to be interacted

[dense basalt]

Back inside where you first go in just watch the ground

Or if you can't find it just call for back up rq

Think there's an area with furniture the hole is by there

[fringe herald]

Ain’t that lovely won’t work

I don’t see any furniture near the hole

I’m lost bruh

[mellow trout]

Its in that area

Through there turn left then run straight forwards and you drop down into a tunnel

[fringe herald]

Oh found it

[keen mica]

im debating whether to refund the game, but whats the multiplayer like in the game is it any good?

[tall grotto]

bighorn dropped finally

with stabilty

can i change that

[worldly fjord]

yeah you can reconfigure

[warm pawn]

there have been any updates on legacy manhunts?

[tall grotto]

it doesnt let me change it

i can only optimize

[worldly fjord]

talk to the blueprints vendor next to the crafting bench first

buy its blueprint

then go to the crafting bench > weapons > scroll down until the very buttom.
find bighorn and reconfigure it

[tall grotto]

already bought

i can only recraft it

thats about it

[worldly fjord]

yeah thats reconfiguring

[rain thorn]

Warning: Spoiler for Scout 2 Burden of Truth,
||
I can't complete Scout 2, Activity 2 because no bounties are showing as available in the SW district. Been almost two weeks and nothing. Is there a bug? Or a workaround or something?||

[worldly fjord]

||do public executions or hostage rescues there, or wait for a daily bounty to spawn there||

[rain thorn]

THX

[inner tendon]

@rain thorn If you can't be bothered to try that method, there's supposed to be a fix dropping on the 18th.

[worldly fjord]

wasnt that just for ||black tusk not showing up in another area?||

[inner tendon]

I mean, since it's a reset, it'll also fix that too, probably.

It is worth running some Public Executions/Hostage Rescue all the same, as the 5xXP Week is still ongoing.

[nimble spruce]

We're usually recommending countdown to newer players who haven't geared up yet, they can be carried easily enough on challenging.

[warm pawn]

i am lvl 30 but i cant go to new york for wony, do i need lvl 40 or the dlc from the shop?

[inner tendon]

Chall vs Heroic CD is also a matter of time:loot ratio.
You end up getting through Challenging faster, and the only thing that matters in CD is how fast you complete it.

@warm pawn You need to own the DLC to play the campaign, but you can keep levelling up to 40 without it.

[warm pawn]

if i buy the dlc i can go to wony from lvl 30 but if i make lvl 40 i go there for free?

[mellow trout]

If you don't buy the DLC you don't get access to new york full stop

If you have it you can boost to 30 anytime

[warm pawn]

what do you mean by "full stop" ?

[inner tendon]

It's slang, it means "at all".

Like how you end a sentence with a full stop, the "."

[warm pawn]

oh ok

im romanian i dont know much english slang

[warm pawn]

like without dlc i can still get lvl 40 and keeners watch but i cant go to nyc?

and i cant get the exclusive exotics and brand sets from there? (if yes then im doomed)

[mellow trout]

Nah you can still get all the gear

The only things you miss are skills

[inner tendon]

^
It's honestly a really big, very good change.

[warm pawn]

ah damn most pvp builds use emp sticky

[mellow trout]

The ones I tend to see are decoys and defender drones and pulse and such

[warm pawn]

and that but some are with emp

[worldly fjord]

manhunt skills should be free now

only NYC skills are still locked

[nimble spruce]

You can't get variants of the WONY skills though, so emp sticky and heal trap, because you don't have the base skill.

[worthy cradle]

Hi I’m trying to donate a leather belt I’ve been doing control points in east mall but it hasn’t dropped am I doing something wrong please any help or advice appreciated

[nimble spruce]

Search online for dodge city holster guide, you should find plenty of guides

[worthy cradle]

I did it said do control points on east mall at challenging and a npc with a cowboy hat will appear and drop the belt but I haven’t seen the noc

[nimble spruce]

Think it needs to be heroic difficulty, you can check a few other guides and see if they say the same

[worthy cradle]

Yes I was in the wrong place on the wrong difficulty sorry thank you

[nimble spruce]

No worries, good luck!

[warm bluff]

Is there a gear set reference to lookup the bonuses? Not sure what to target farm

[wheat berry]

div 2 spreadsheet has a page of all gear set bonuses

should be pinned in #td2-build-advice

[heady drum]

Hey lads, is there a way to lvl up my friend quickly to lvl 30 and 40 ?

[delicate mountain]

Heroic liquidations, 1-4 directives

[heady drum]

never heard of those

[delicate mountain]

I wrote it wrong, sorry)

[heady drum]

oooh ic

[bitter mango]

Can someone explain how this build works?

[delicate mountain]

PVP??

[bitter mango]

it says its for 5 directive farming

[delicate mountain]

A lot of armor means little damage, imho

[nimble spruce]

It's a determined hh build, you just one shot everything with the 1886

[bitter mango]

https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1WO88gp63kdlFweJQeTCpU1D2Elu_I_USh5F5wQqBVGk/edit

[bitter mango]

Do I have to hit headshots?

[nimble spruce]

Only when you don't have the determined buff active

[delicate mountain]

a lot of ergonomics, why??....

[nimble spruce]

Strong shield & artificer hive to keep it alive, easier facetanking, I guess

It'll have lower damage than your version, but if solo you'll presumably have enough damage to one shot elites, so might as well build tankiness instead of more damage

[heady drum]

the difficulty goes back down to normal cus of his low lvl

[nimble spruce]

Get him to join your group, run invaded missions (pick a short one like DCD) on repeat with as high difficulty and directives as you can reasonably manage

It's important that it's invaded though, regular missions won't work nearly as well

[heady drum]

Alr8 bet and ty again

[bitter mango]

Whats the point of all the weapon handling sets tho? I can't hit 150% hs dmg for the headhunter talent

[nimble spruce]

Quicker reload

I mean, I didn't design the build, I've never used it, I'm just assuming it works the way I've described because otherwise it wouldn't make any sense

[bitter mango]

So should I be hitting 150% hs dmg?

[nimble spruce]

Also the layout looks like an iKia build to me, and he knows what he's doing

Yeah I'd assume you should be. Might require watch points in hsd, maybe specific weapon mods as well as the secondary stats and gear mods

[bitter mango]

Alright ty

[nimble spruce]

Actually if you look at the stats section in that image it says 160% hsd

[cedar schooner]

Yeah so if you don’t have HSD maxed on watch you’ll only hit 140

[marsh tundra]

you need hsd before handling

but as a 2nd stat its nice

[heady drum]

cant change the mission to invaded

[marsh tundra]

only few missions get invaded each week

[heady drum]

oh ic

[marsh tundra]

and 1 stronghold + tidal

[heady drum]

which is the invaded r8 now ?

[nimble spruce]

Jefferson plaza probably quickest one this week

The ones with red icons (if you haven't already completed them) are invaded

[heady drum]

👌

[bitter mango]

Oh okay so I'll need to max out my watch thanks for the advice

[heady drum]

does the apparel cases change after season ?

[heady drum]

i feel like im asking way to many questions in one day lol

[tulip fiber]

The ones you gets keys for by leveling up? No.

[heady drum]

:<

[inner tendon]

@heady drum DW about it, everyone started somewhere, it's better to learn than to go out with bad info.

[heady drum]

[light inlet]

Just to double check.. the named AR Lexington can drop anywhere right?
just super rare?
I've played for weeks and haven't got it 😦

[inner tendon]

Nope, currently Lexington is not available at all.

[light inlet]

wait what, why not?

[inner tendon]

There are plans to bring it back at some point, but the devs have yet to lock anything down, that's all we know.

"it won't be available in the general loot pool", as of the last Livestream, that's the info.

Don't worry too much, it's usefulness is pretty overblown, it's about on par with a good high-end AR.

[green hound]

May I please get some help getting the eagle bearer please

I really desperate please help me

[cedar schooner]

https://discord.com/channels/477210626742288384/578577838702198785

Try there

[green hound]

Thanks bro

[heady drum]

So wait i cant get all the outfits in the game for free?

[marsh tundra]

no, you can get the base ones, few mask with hunters puzzles, the rest need money

[heady drum]

oh cmon...

[tulip fiber]

All of them, all of them? No. There may be some still purchasable with textiles. The currency earned from repeat cosmetics, but that’s it.

[marsh tundra]

i mean its skins, you should expect them to be paid

thats how they make money

[heady drum]

so theres no way to get all the Dark path

[warm pawn]

Can I access legacy seasons without wony dlc?

[tulip fiber]

If they’re not in the store, then no.

[tulip fiber]

The final manhunt mission is the only available mission from past seasons. There was one with Kelso at Stranded Tanker a couple seasons ago, so not that one. For the others, go to the manhunt tab from the map and check the Legacy Manhunts menu.

[iron zinc]

Can someone tell me what unmarked shd supplies are in the legacy season cache ?

[warm pawn]

random gear

[iron zinc]

@warm pawn thx

[warm pawn]

you welcome

[junior bison]

I keep seeing videos of agents having a scrolling stack of damage numbers on the bottom left corner of their screen. These damage numbers are in addition to the floating damage numbers in the center of the screen and stay there even after the shooting stops. Anyone know how this is being done?

[hardy reef]

Chat box click the x on the chat box that pop up

And change the damage counter to show in text box

[wispy merlin]

enter > click on right arrow in the chat box > combat info > show damage numbers

[jade fox]

Hello. My friend is having a problem with receiving the SHD watch after hitting lvl 40. We are playing together and when I got to lvl 40 I simply got it from the quartermaster. My friend hit level 40 a few hours after me and when he goes to quartermaster nothing happens. He has the mission telling him to go there but it just doesn't work. We don't know what to do. Any ideas what could be the cause?

[wispy merlin]

did he talk to quartermaster in DC?

[jade fox]

yep

[wispy merlin]

as in talking to him does nothing?

he needs to talk to him at the skill unlocking side, not the specialization side

[jade fox]

it just opens the menu with upgrades and those abilities like impulse and stuff

[wispy merlin]

ah okay

tell him to try logging out and in again

[jade fox]

We did try that already. Didn't change anything. Fast traveling, leaving group, doing a mission and going back to White House. Nothing helped

[wispy merlin]

he may need to do it in his own world

[jade fox]

Shouldn't he just be teleported to it after leaving group?

[wispy merlin]

@sudden matrix you think something else can help?

[sudden matrix]

Usually you gotta log out and back in on the character.

[runic tiger]

It's a bit dumb to show properly , but can anyone tell me how the hell do I get to him? I've circled the whole damn building

[marsh tundra]

at the end of the alley, there is a ladder

[runic tiger]

already went here, is it supposed to be open?

[marsh tundra]

its locked because of a side mission you didnt do

unless you can open it now

but overall dont do bounties until you're lvl 40 and have done all side missions to unlock the area

[runic tiger]

nope, can't interact

[marsh tundra]

then you cant complete until you done the side mission i guess

[runic tiger]

alright, is it for the drops? or just better to do

[marsh tundra]

what is ?

the bounties ?

[runic tiger]

waiting for lvl 40 to do the bounties

[marsh tundra]

yes drop and xp is way better at 40

lvl1 to 40 is just a tutorial basically

[runic tiger]

so to get to 40 what do I do? Just main missions and side?

[marsh tundra]

yes basically

[cursive wind]

can you not reset grand washington hotel to an invaded mission?

[iron zinc]

What would be the reason when i hit x it doesnt allow me to donate junk

[marsh tundra]

it gives the junk, there is no notification

[shy cosmos]

Dumb question. 5x exp event says 24/1000 . Is this for the watch?

[marsh tundra]

no, thats the xp bonus limit

[inner tendon]

@shy cosmos Yep! You can gain 1000 SHD Watch levels whilst it's active.

[marsh tundra]

you can get 1k lvl max before it becomes normal xp

[shy cosmos]

Ugh I wanted old school exp. Ok. Well still playing. 😂. That's life. Thanks for the response

[marsh tundra]

wym old school xp ?

[iron zinc]

@marsh tundra the junk is still in my inventory. its not being donated

[marsh tundra]

if its at max expertise then it cant be donated

also mods cant be donated

[iron zinc]

@marsh tundra zero expertise and it's gear....idk

[marsh tundra]

then idk

[quick folio]

How do i get rid of exotic weapon components from email grants? Ive already salvaged that exo weapon, and i bought its blueprint. (This persists across all characters) (The weapon in question was merciless and lullaby) And its parts

[inner tendon]

@quick folio You can't, the Lvl 1 versions of those guns stay in your Inventory forever.
But they don't take up space.

@iron zinc Just to confirm, you are trying to donate to Expertise, and not the Library, right?
If in doubt, you can go to the submenu of that particular gear and donate directly.

[quick folio]

Sadge

[inner tendon]

Think of them as a way to get the copies on your Exotics Wall.

[quick folio]

Idk whats that supposed to mean

[inner tendon]

If you go to your Shooting Range at the White House, turn to the back wall and you can see a copy of every Exotic that you own.
The rest of them are at Haven (NYC map), downstairs, near the Barber.

[quick folio]

Lmao ok

[daring wren]

I think that is a glitch

[cursive linden]

If I dismantle this mask I have, can I use it on an apperance slot?

[iron zinc]

@inner tendon yes. Ill try thx

@marsh tundra all good

[inner tendon]

If it's a brandset/gearset item: yes.
If it's an Exotic: no.

[cursive linden]

Soo I have the machinist mask, if I deconstruct it i'd be able to use it as an apperance slot

[inner tendon]

In div2, you should pretty much always go by whatever the brand/gear name is, the names on the item themselves are fairly pointless.
