[wispy merlin]

you can be skilled enough to make it work

[desert thunder]

Is there any way to name our characters like how we can name our gear sets? Because I want to make a character for a raid build. So therefore I want to put like raid on my character so I know that's my go-to character for raid

[pseudo tundra]

Dont believe we can name our characters

[desert thunder]

The things we want we dont get and the things we get we dont want lol jk it would be nice as I am jumping to find my character with my go to load out

[elfin chasm]

whats the typical popular variant that people usually choose to run

[wispy merlin]

they usually run memento/obliterate, memento/intimidate, ad rush/intimidate

[spare atlas]

Wasn't there a patch where they removed skill attachments and just always improve it to the highest one? Or am I tripping and was that never implemented, just started playing again and still getting spammed with them 🤔

[sudden matrix]

It's in, it's an optional auto decon toggle.

It's at the bottom on one of the pages, skills selection or the skill mods page idr.

[spare atlas]

ahhh got it, thanks!

[trim meadow]

What it's mean blacklisted count as 2?
Double kill using explosive mean, Any Grenade?
What is Maintain Momentum Tier 2?

[spare atlas]

Any recommendations what I should focus on doing before the season ends if I just returned to the game that might still be achievable? Bit overwhelmed with all the stuff going on 😬

[marsh tundra]

grenade arent a skill

[trim meadow]

Oops

[wispy merlin]

• if you kill a blacklisted enemy the counter ticks up by 2 instead of 1
• explosive skills mean seeker mine, mortar, etc.

[trim meadow]

Sorry maybe I'm dumb, Where I can find blacklisted enemy?

And what is maintain momentum?

[marsh tundra]

any enemy can be blacklisted, they have an icon above them

[marsh tundra]

momentum is the vertical bar next to your ammo/grenade/etc

[celest grove]

...

[slim elk]

solid

[celest grove]

@marsh tundra

[marsh tundra]

use gunner spec instead of grenadier

[celest grove]

i dont think i have it leveled

[marsh tundra]

your build looks fine, you shouldnt have trouble clearing a stronghold

[slim elk]

pd: Lefty isn't mandatory for Striker's, it's often recommended for its talent

[celest grove]

yeah i just want it tbh

[marsh tundra]

you'll get it with playtime, dont focus too much on that

there are too many items in this game to count, you'll get them all

[celest grove]

is the stinger good for PvE ?

[marsh tundra]

stinger hive ? not great but not bad

[celest grove]

or whatever that exotic shotty is called

[slim elk]

Scorpio?

[celest grove]

yeah that

[slim elk]

absolutely

[celest grove]

my bad 😭

[marsh tundra]

scorpio isnt good for most content, its used against specific bosses

like hunters, raid bosses, etc

[celest grove]

so its kinda like a destiny Golden Gun situation?

[marsh tundra]

no, its used as cc

[celest grove]

only viable for bosses

ah gotcha

[marsh tundra]

for you mission, just play safe, stay in cover, focus the right enemies and you should be fine

[celest grove]

is the Thorn a good shotty?

[marsh tundra]

not great

shotguns as a whole arent meta

[celest grove]

i have alot of shotguns holy

[marsh tundra]

except some for their talent

just play what you like

and play safer

and you should be fine

[spare atlas]

Do we know if the Lexington will ever become available again? Or did they already say it's a one and done thing

[pearl pasture]

Was a limited time thing but i think they are planning a rerun in the future, not 100% sure though

[spare atlas]

Gotcha thanks

[elfin chasm]

if i dont have friends, whats the best way of leveling a watch mule

[slim elk]

use the boost > dz landmarks or Invaded Missions (e.g. DCDHQ)

[cursive linden]

Does it matter what DZ I go to, is the loot and difficulty all going to be the same >

[marsh tundra]

no, each dz has different targeted loot, and one dz is invaded

other than that, you can get any loot dz exlusive in any dz

also the environment is different in each

but you learn it step by step

[cursive linden]

Thank yew

[marsh tundra]

np

[pearl stone]

Does having any less than 100% haz pro do anything of significance?

[marsh tundra]

yes

[rugged stratus]

More hazpro = less duration. Immunity is no duration of status

[inner tendon]

@warm root You're looking for #lfg-xbox.
GL Agent

[hollow trout]

st. elmos engine is in the general loot pool right? i dont have to complete wony to obtain it?

[inner tendon]

Nope, general pool.
Although you shouldn't be farming anything until you are Lvl 40.

You don't need to finish WONY to be Lvl 40, just to clarify.

[hollow trout]

yeah im 40 ive just obtained multiple of every other exotic ar except elmos

[rich kindle]

is there anywhere to see when 3 or 5x xp events are coming up !?

[inner tendon]

It's just RNG.
You can weight it in your favour using TL (targeted loot), and you can weight that using Directives.
Your best bet overall though is just Countdown w/the TL set to AR's, and buy caches from the Vendor.
You can also spam out Priority Objectives and hope, but that is 100% random each time.

@rich kindle Ingame there's a seasonal menu, if you scroll along it you can see what's upcoming.

It's the same place you see GE's, stuff like that.

[rich kindle]

where would i be without you helping me out

[inner tendon]

. Although just a note; the timers on those are subject to change. MSV likes to use it as a "mostly corrent" thing.

[rich kindle]

oh my goodness i was playing through the main story during the 5x xp event and i didnt even notice hahaha thats hilarious

[inner tendon]

There'll be another one eventually, don't worry.
(for those confused: the 3x and 5x XP events only work fpr your SHD Level)

[pearl stone]

Can Ceska pieces drop with blue cores?

[cedar schooner]

No

[pearl stone]

Do you know about Providence defence?

[wispy merlin]

what about it?

[delicate flint]

Hey guys, been away from the game so I don't remember some stuff. I just got to level 40 and I had a Foundry Bulwark set that is now completely obsolete because it was level 29. Anyone knows where I can farm Bulwark gear to get it back, but level 40?

[cedar schooner]

Always red

[cedar schooner]

Anywhere it’s targeted, but I wouldn’t recommend it overall.

[delicate flint]

Can't find it anywhere on the map. Is it the case that not all types of gearsets have targeted activities for them?

[delicate flint]

I was enjoying it because I'm playing with the striker shield and that gear set seemed to be good for it, I was enjoying the survivability of it

[mellow trout]

Yeah there's too much in the pool

[cedar schooner]

You can try countdown or summit

[mellow trout]

Countdown and summit have selectable targeted loot though so they're it's great for farming

[cedar schooner]

You could always try something like heartbreaker

[delicate flint]

I never played those modes before, I'll have to check them out

[delicate flint]

I'll check that out as well, if I find an activity that targets it, I'll try to go for that instead

Thanks for the help guys

[stone skiff]

Targeted Loot changes every 24 hours, at the same time as the Daily Project. The change is in just over 3 hours.

[delicate flint]

Thank you. To that point, would summit or countdown still be better for farming, regardless of that daily rotation?

[stone skiff]

Countdown is always the best place to farm, but for a change of scenery TL is good to see more of the Open World.

[delicate flint]

Is countdown payed DLC? I haven't gotten around to try it yet. Also, any tips for it?

[spare atlas]

Nah it's just a game mode, don't need to buy it seperately. Usually you can just go sheep-mode and follow one of the 2 groups until you get the hang of it. At least that's how it was when I last played

[narrow kraken]

@delicate flint I use countdown to target specific gear I'm after or rolls in gear types rather than make my own using resources, if you ever want to run with me then you may,
However make sure you have some armour on and don't use drones or anything like that I tend to use a revive hive and shield, as your drones can be hacked and used against others just a heads up x

[hard sorrel]

Do you guys know where The Dark Winter drops ? Is there a specific location/mission?

[oak talon]

it is a dz/pvp item, meaning it only drops as loot in the dz, but you can also get it from named caches and several other sources, which is how most people get it.
here is a guide that has which items are dz/pvp items for future reference, and also list how to get those items :
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mRaAjLtKGDNcOgRkCt_LB2AtzSkU0qbCEFSg8fMnmEM

for this week, shd exposed is available, get some stars in that by doing some of its challenges and getting some shd lvls, and spend those on named item caches.
it is a big pool, so you might not get exactly what you are after, but if you buy enough of them you will have most of the dz items eventually. and you can use the other items for proficiency, either by running them or donating.

[hard sorrel]

By pvp you mean conflict right?

[sudden matrix]

DZ/conflict is all PVP

[hard sorrel]

So can it drop from conflict caches or are those different from named ones?

[warm pawn]

can someone tell me what happened with theo parnell after year 6 season 2? (dm pls)

[sudden matrix]

It can. Honestly if you don't have builds set up for it and enjoy PVP I wouldn't bother farming it via PVP means. Honestly DW is alright but if you are new I wouldn't burn your time trying to get one right away.

[hard sorrel]

got a burn build, tested and It worked really well. Still got steamrolled cuz holy shit people that play Conflict are another breed

[sudden matrix]

Yeah that's probably going to be the theme until you have builds/map knowledge/git gud. It's just if you want the DW just to have it that's fine but if you watched a build guide or got told to get one cause it's so OP or whatever you might wanna spend time farming more worth while things.

[elfin chasm]

can any kind soul point me in the direction of a regulus striker oneshot build? using achiles pulse

or is it just 4p striker with dodge and punch drunk

[hard sorrel]

Im building a HF + Memento rn, got all the pieces just need the DW. But I have this one too, just need to spec to dtooc and find the extended mag

[sudden matrix]

pretty much, punch drunk might change to other things like contractors/hollowman but it depends on the build. Also harvest can beat regu depending on what you are shooting and the setup.

[elfin chasm]

why would it be contractors over punchdrunk

thinkRoll

[sudden matrix]

Because that 8% DTA is multiplicative single source most the time.

[jagged idol]

They need to bring back the sam fisher clothing set like they had in the first game

[elfin chasm]

im guessing hollowman for razorback...?

[sudden matrix]

Yeah but that's tac 50/HH/bloody knuckles/BLB and tons of team buffs.

[elfin chasm]

o

what secondary do i need on strikers? HSD?

[sudden matrix]

For strikers DCH 1 shot yeah.

[elfin chasm]

since you can recalibrate exotics now... is regulus able to roll dttooc?

[sudden matrix]

Yurp. It's your best bet too.

[elfin chasm]

but also second question, whats more widely used? punchdrunk or contractors

[elfin chasm]

feels bad.... the number of exo components i used to roll this back then

[sudden matrix]

Depends on what we are shooting.

[elfin chasm]

dont most bosses have armor which would make contractors better?

[sudden matrix]

Yeah but it's kinda more than that. Like buddy lucy we use PGC but on the incursion we use contractors.

Also the power creeep makes one shots super easy. You could probably use tons of different things and the result would be the same.

Now we pick and choose between buffs and build types to cut time cause we have options.

Best thing you could do is increase your expertise on your achilles as it's a seperate multi so you can do up to 28% more damage.

[hard sorrel]

Is this normal?

[sudden matrix]

Conflict cache yeah?

[hard sorrel]

ok then

[sudden matrix]

Yeah chance of exos out of them.

[hard sorrel]

any ? or just the ones in the general pool?

[sudden matrix]

General pool.

[hard sorrel]

God rolled too... shame its shit

Is there a build that uses it?

[elfin chasm]

need more friends to help with watch mule leveling xd

i havent even started donations for it yet

literally just been spending all my mats on optimization

[sudden matrix]

Hopefully DCD invaded next week then.

[elfin chasm]

do ppl only run em when dcd is invaded

[sudden matrix]

They do it all the time it's just DCD heroic 5D solo takes like 5-6 minutes with a good carry.

[elfin chasm]

i was asking around in a few discords if anyone would be willing to do some carry trades but no luck

[sudden matrix]

I got people that love running mules.

[elfin chasm]

dang

[sudden matrix]

I'll just DM you if your alright with that.

[thin wagon]

what are some good guns end game?(currently using st elmo and i want more options to use)

[elfin chasm]

ya shure

[delicate flint]

It would be cool to have someone more experienced I can run with to get a better feel for what I want to do and how to do it. This game is a bit daunting for beginners, a lot of times I don't know what I should be doing in the game, much less how to achieve it. I might take you up on that offer

[narrow kraken]

@delicate flint I've just come online now so here is my gamer tag Helen-Ex-Army

[delicate flint]

Thanks, I'll send a friend request later. I'm not going to be playing right now because I have to work, but we'll coordinate better when we're both on

[narrow kraken]

Ok no problem x

[pearl stone]

Do Exodus gloves take you out of combat in pvp situations?

[quick folio]

why am i not seeing any ammo boxes in my descent run?

[wispy merlin]

you only get them at loop starts

[quick folio]

bet

[kindred mason]

Hello! I just got the division 2 and so far I have 8 hours in the game. Is there a recommended way to start? The game seems to have a lot of content

[marsh tundra]

just play the story until lvl 40 then come here again

[quick folio]

can nemesis also carry a revive hive?

[marsh tundra]

no

[quick folio]

bet

when do i encounter nemesis, my heat has been 100% for two runs

[sudden matrix]

At the end of the loop, he'll replace the boss arena.

[quick folio]

ty

ok so i killed the nemesis, and continued on, if i were to die mid run, would i still be elgible to roll 50% for the shade cache?

the blueprint thing

[sudden matrix]

The longer you go the more rewards you get including the currency that you use to buy reconstructed caches.

[quick folio]

yea but what if i die

[sudden matrix]

Then you'll cash out.

[wispy merlin]

if you killed nemesis, you already procced the 50% chance for recon cache

[quick folio]

ty

do exotic talents reset after nemesis encounter?

cuz i lost em

i mean it shows them when i press I, but idk if they apply (i dont see the chamelelon buff working anymore)

[wispy merlin]

they're still there

you just picked up a talent that takes up the same spot

on the side of the gun

[quick folio]

how much does a cache cost

i dont even see the nemesis % now on loop 7

[marsh tundra]

prices are aviable outside descent

[quick folio]

nor do the rooms provide it

[marsh tundra]

if you beat nemesis already there isnt a %

any bonus floor is just more currency to farm

[quick folio]

so whats the point of only killing 1 nemesis

also, does climbing higher, provide more currency

[wispy merlin]

yes

nemesis is just an early goal, going up to loop 30 gives you all 6 chances to proc recon caches, you get from 3-6 this way

[quick folio]

which way

[wispy merlin]

...going up to loop 30

[quick folio]

right

so can i go all in on damage or smth now that ive defeated the nemesis?

i went all blue buffs on the end of the loops

[wispy merlin]

those blues are wasted

going to high loops you need all the damage you can get

[quick folio]

ty

[wispy merlin]

basically if you want to get to high loops you have to plan from the beginning

[quick folio]

im cooked lmao

[wispy merlin]

you can't change course or you'd be wasting your choices

[quick folio]

caches are bought with nsa currency right>

[sudden matrix]

Yes, at the vendor outside of descent.

[quick folio]

is bulwark a good choice in descent?

or an assault turret? (im past nemesis for them to copy)

can i leave descent and continue where i left off at a later time?

[wispy merlin]

no

[quick folio]

obliterated lmao

DESTROYED IN SECONDS

[wispy merlin]

with facts and logic?

[quick folio]

no i mean the scammer

blood sucker or plague of the outcats in dfescent? (i got adaptive instincts, and bullet hell)

[nimble spruce]

plague I'd say

[quick folio]

ait

uuh, ive got c m1a, and a 100 round lmg, do i replace either with tac vector 9mm?

this is what im lookin rn

[sudden matrix]

What's the current rotation?

[quick folio]

wym by that

[sudden matrix]

Descent has a rotated talent pool.

[sudden matrix]

RIP

Intimidate is what you should have gotten.

[quick folio]

i had it, replaced it with uninged

i play at distance more, with all the handling

[wispy merlin]

intimidate quadruples your damage

[quick folio]

uh welp

[wispy merlin]

i'm not joking

[quick folio]

so, i take the vector for clsoe range, keep the m1a for ranged, and pray i get intimidated?

[wispy merlin]

okay it's 3.71x

yeah

[quick folio]

ait bet

[quick folio]

does plague of the outcasts count as a status effect?

ok thats a no

ok got intimidate, what do i replace it with?

[quick folio]

.

[wispy merlin]

critical or strained

[quick folio]

critical it was

[sudden matrix]

If you get 1 leadership you can cover to cover before fights start and have full intimidate stacks then ad rush/blood sucker will keep you in bonus armor as you melt and kill people before they even exit doors.

[quick folio]

yea well gotta get bloodsucker a gain ig

but i like infinite ammo

oh well exotic talent i just got

imma replace it instead of plague

[wispy merlin]

plague doesn't really have much value at higher loops

ideally you one-shot them anyway

[quick folio]

i figured ye

[sudden matrix]

What loop you gotten up to so far?

[quick folio]

16

[sudden matrix]

Noice.

[quick folio]

idk when should is stop

[sudden matrix]

Never, keep going until the game crashes or you fall sleep.

[quick folio]

lmao is there a limit

[sudden matrix]

Your sanity.

[quick folio]

bruh

is there an optimal return point or smth

[sudden matrix]

Yeah like loop 30-40

[junior sequoia]

When you get sleepy and when you have a power surge in your house or when you get DELTA error.

[quick folio]

how many blueprints do reconstructed caches contain?

[junior sequoia]

One per cache

[quick folio]

thats nto waht i ment

[nimble spruce]

there's a pinned message in #td2-descent that lists all the blueprints currently available there, if that's what you're after

[quick folio]

juh, can i just have a number?

[junior sequoia]

I would say something between 40 and 80. Some blueprints are bugged and are unobtainable bcs of this.

[quick folio]

ok i counted 97 (not including the ones)

That would still leave me short on 76 blueprints. And im not getting any from control points, and i have all raid blueprints. Sooo how do i get those?

[sudden matrix]

That's the neat part. You don't.

[quick folio]

😮

[sudden matrix]

You'll never get the max displayed blueprint count

[quick folio]

hwo so

[wispy merlin]

devs gatekeeping

[junior sequoia]

It's worth it if you do. Some DZ exclusive items can be crafted like the emperor guard (1% Regen named)

[quick folio]

brah

[wispy merlin]

you cant craft the solo god mode exotic

[quick folio]

ikr

oh well im off to bed, i quit at loop 20

sadge times

[sudden matrix]

nooooo sleep got this man

[quick folio]

Lmao

[junior sequoia]

Go to sleep, before ISAC stop working
Go to sleep, so that you can keep learning
Just get to sleep, so that you can keep farming go to sleep💤

[hard sorrel]

Can I get the pestilence from Countdown or is it still a DZ only drop?

[pearl pasture]

Anywhere with TL lmgs or from priority objectives and caches too

[hard sorrel]

thx

[pearl pasture]

o7

[nimble spruce]

PSA: I've seen various posts over the last year or so about how many parts of nemesis you need in order for the blueprint to drop - just been doing some testing, and can confirm that with the scope alone (the part from tidal basin) it will NOT drop, but with the scope + one other part, it will, so it's entirely possible to get the blueprint this week even if you start with no other parts.

[hard sorrel]

Is there a easier way to get the 9mm extended mag or I just gotta pray that it drops from CPs?

[pseudo tundra]

just keep doing it and it should drop it

[spiral ice]

Do dz drops have higher chances of eb

[nimble spruce]

Higher than what? DZ has a flat, tiny chance of dropping EB. Raid bosses have a small chance, raid chest has a decent (10%) chance.

[spiral ice]

Oh ok, meant like higher than normal dudes in the dz dropping it

[nimble spruce]

no, it's flat drop chance as far as we know, regardless of source. Not included in target loot either, so that won't help.

[spiral ice]

Yikes, thanks for the insight

[gray terrace]

its a flat 0.024% no matter what in the dz

[rugged stratus]

Nice , glad I wasnt giving out misinformation

[delicate flint]

Sent the friend request, my id is TRibal-PT

[jaunty jay]

How do i unlock more?

[lilac vigil]

Just started to get into the game. Anyone know if the resident evil stuff will come back?

[bold tiger]

They're the ones that you kill x of this and other 5 things in that category

[jaunty jay]

Ahhhh

[rich kindle]

thank you very much there is literally no indication of this anywhere on search engines i thought i was gonna have to wait the full 3 weeks

[rugged stratus]

Used to be a full 7ish weeks sometimes, rng being rng and all

[desert thunder]

So when I was leader of countdown before we went into the game or the match, I disabled the modifier and I made sure it was disabled. When we went into the game, the modifier was active and I wasn't able to deactivate it. Why is this? Can someone explain? Because honestly I hate playing with the modifier

[quick folio]

since when is this a thing?

[rich kindle]

I think this happens when all your allies are currently engaged with something else like attacking/defending a different control point, you can probably see them on the map

[merry plume]

But we still need to have the Washington Hotel mission in Invaded right ? How can we have that ? I did first two parts of the Nemesis thing yesterday (dismantle the rifle + killed Plutz in District for a Nemesis part) but my Washington mission is a regular one

[quick folio]

it is invaded (at least on PC)

[merry plume]

I just checked it on PS5 and its grey one with Hyenas on it

[quick folio]

try going to the mission and see if u can select a mission type

[merry plume]

Ok i turned off my ps5 for now back to bed🤣 i will try later ty

[quick folio]

gl

[merry plume]

I didnt know we could select Invaded on the mission setting ?

[quick folio]

if its in the weekly rotation then yes

[merry plume]

Maybe i did it yesterday to unlock District Union then

[quick folio]

did you 'create' the rooml, or did someoen pass it to you?

[desert thunder]

I made the room

[nimble spruce]

Yes, you must have done it already this week, so you just need to toggle mission mode to reactivate it.
You'll still have to wait two more weeks to get the final parts (unless you get it as a random drop) but you won't have to wait for hotel to be invaded again, which can take months.

[merry plume]

@nimble spruce difficulty doesnt matter for the blueprint drop ?

Nvm i got it 1st try

[cedar edge]

Can someone please help, I am losing my mind trying to do the Scout 1 mission. I cannot enter the American Museum as it is greyed out and closed. How do I get in to start the intel gathering?

[nimble spruce]

Open mission options, difficulty, and pick the difficulty you want to run it on.
This is how you reactivate any 'completed' (grey) mission you want to rerun.

[cedar edge]

I tried that, went back to normal, then tried hard, still will not activate.

Apologies, thank you for replying The Kettle, and a very good morning to you.

[heady drum]

what do you get at the end of manhunt ?

[nimble spruce]

Once you pick the difficulty, the mission icon should turn from grey to blue, after that you just run into the mission to activate it. I can't think of any reason why it might not work.

[nimble spruce]

new exotic backpack based around reviving

[heady drum]

bruh

[cedar edge]

I changed global settings back to hard and the Museum is still greyed out. I am very confused.

[nimble spruce]

not global settings, mission settings

[cedar edge]

For the love of Gilgamesh!

Can someone pass me the pointy Dunce hat please.

Thank you Mr Kettle, at last I can continue my journey.

[nimble spruce]

No worries, it can sometimes be easy to overlook the obvious

[cedar edge]

I did not even know that was a thing. LOOL

[thin wagon]

what are some good ways to farm field recon data and tactical assesment(black tusk,hyenas)

[mellow trout]

Craft them

[thin wagon]

and how do i get the blueprints?

[marsh tundra]

cp4

[thin wagon]

what does that mean? im not upto the terms yet

[marsh tundra]

control point difficulty 4

[thin wagon]

ah, any control points can give the bp?

[marsh tundra]

there is a big loot pool of blueprint, you're gonna have to farm them for a while

[rugged stratus]

Its cp3+ to unlock blueprints

[rugged stratus]

Level 3 or 4 controlpoints.
Challenging world difficulty will have them all level 3

[quick folio]

cp3 also works

[hard sorrel]

What's the difference between invaded and non-invaded DZ. Apart from having BT soldiers and being harder

[marsh tundra]

you have no turrets at check point to protect you

[hard sorrel]

Thats it?

[marsh tundra]

there is 1 supply drop max, and it has 4 bosses

juicy loot

[nimble spruce]

You can't farm dz resources from the little boxes

[marsh tundra]

its basically the harder dz

landmark are also higher difficulty on average iirc

[hard sorrel]

Saw that, had no clue what was happening and all of the sudden 4 BT named soldiers jumped from a roof in front of me

[marsh tundra]

you shouldnt go into dz if you're not prepared

[hard sorrel]

Not sure what build to run, I'm level 515 shd and was running Striker (BP + Chest) and Coyote

Given they are BT skill builds are out of the question

[marsh tundra]

skill build can work vs bt

but im talking more about rogues and high difficulty in general

its very easy to go rogue on someone in invaded dz

[hard sorrel]

Rogues as in NPCs or Players ?

[marsh tundra]

players

[hard sorrel]

Every time I went into one I was alone

[marsh tundra]

there is no rogue npc in dz

[hard sorrel]

I'm aware TL helps a lot but is there a higher chance of drop the EB and Rav from invaded ones or the chances stay the same as the regular ones?

[marsh tundra]

no, its the same % no matter what

tl doesnt help either

[hard sorrel]

Really?

So it's all luck and perseverance?

[marsh tundra]

mostly luck, cause once you drop it, you better pray you dont get ganked and stolen your loot

cause you need to extract it too

and if your build isnt good, you dont stand a chance

[hard sorrel]

I'm aware

[marsh tundra]

• you might get ganked by 4 players and not stand a chance either

so id suggest you do the raid instead

[hard sorrel]

Any recommendations? Just tell the set I'll look for it

[marsh tundra]

pvp is complicated, there is no perfect build

some build counter other builds, and so on

[hard sorrel]

Ah

[marsh tundra]

as a general go to build, high end dps is recommended

[hard sorrel]

The whole Status x Hazpro right?

And such

[marsh tundra]

yeah, also there are oneshot builds

and skill builds that can shred you

[hard sorrel]

Conflict taught me that

Got shafted a lot

[marsh tundra]

yeah, now imagine dz is worse

cause there is also cheaters

[hard sorrel]

Started running fire in there, fun as hell

[marsh tundra]

that want to ruin your day

[hard sorrel]

You said smt about Raids? I doubt they let me join

[marsh tundra]

why not

[hard sorrel]

Low level + different server.

[marsh tundra]

whats your server

[hard sorrel]

SA (Brazil)

[marsh tundra]

you'll be fine

just say you're a ftc first time clear and they will know to either teach you or carry you

tell them you're looking for the exotic, and someone might give it to you if they drop

everybody had a first time in raid

[hard sorrel]

I'll give it a try, thx

[hard sorrel]

What's a ftc?

[marsh tundra]

first time clear

[hard sorrel]

Ah ok

[marsh tundra]

i wrote it just next

[hard sorrel]

Oh

I'm blind lol

[unkempt garden]

Does anyone know why my cooldowns are weird? Like when I equip my shield and put it away the cooldown doesnt go away?

Whats going on there lol

[marsh tundra]

there is a small cooldown even if its full hp

[unkempt garden]

no i mean like. Normally theres a few seconds until I can re use it. but its just like that and its kinda pissing me off lol

[marsh tundra]

i have no idea what you mean

[bold tiger]

Probably a global event turned on

[nimble spruce]

Either scavenged skills or the bug where scavenged skills gets mixed up with special ammo: make sure both directives are turned off

[unkempt garden]

Oh

Yea it was Scavanged Kills

[hard sorrel]

Just to be sure: EB and Rav can be obtained via Raids and the DZ, Ouroboros incursion. Is there another Exo that needs a specific mode to be obtained? (already have the Capacitor and know how the Nemesis work)

[junior sequoia]

As long as you are lvl 40 and have a striker build, people on normal difficulty raid will let you join just fine.

[nimble spruce]

Regulus from iron horse, provocateur from Parnell manhunt, various other crafted exotics like nemesis (at least the crafting blueprint needs to be unlocked before it can drop)

[marsh tundra]

regulus, and some exotics need to drop the blueprint first to be dropped like the rest, but i dont have the list in mind

[rugged stratus]

Vindicator from descent shop as well, but it's not a good exo afaik

[warm pawn]

is dread edict good?

[nimble spruce]

It's decent in lower difficulty content but nothing spectacular

[sour mortar]

https://youtu.be/vyPw0pfr7MU?si=Sf4cJCzcaLJ5OcOQ

Mmm 🤔

Tencent won’t be involved with Division IP. That’s lit asf

[merry plume]

If i reconfigure an exotic, can 3rd attribute changes or its just the value of attribute ?

[warm pawn]

will there be an apparel event in the future?

[odd condor]

Yes, the third attribute now can be changed with reconfigures

[marsh tundra]

you can reroll it at the cost of 1 exotic part, but its random

[sour mortar]

Dtooc is recommended

[clever aurora]

Does Reconfiguring a weapon lose my expertise on it? RIght now i have an Eagle Bearer with a maxed Headshot damage roll attribue and not sure if thats a good attribute

[marsh tundra]

i dont think so

but it reroll every other stat

[sour mortar]

I don’t think so cuz it’s the same exact weapon.

Expertise stays on that certain gear piece/weapon forever till you dismantle it, but expertise is not transferable

[clever aurora]

Alrighty thank you so much. And last question, wut is a good attribute on the Eagle bearer? I have Max HS DMG on it but not sure if thats good or not

[sour mortar]

Say that you have 2 different Eagle bearers, that’s actually considered 2 different weapons in game, not the same one.

[sour mortar]

I would say dtooc, more dmg overall if the target is not sitting behind cover. More dmg output compared to hsd attribute

Helps dmg on hsd or crit builds for eb

[clever aurora]

Currently go this, kinda scared to reroll attribute

[sour mortar]

Reroll is just RNG. Your weapon and build after all.

[marsh tundra]

you should always optimize before expertize

[sour mortar]

I just recommend dtooc. But if you do, try to get high stats across the board so optimization is cheaper overall

[clever aurora]

sounds good, im just coming back to the game after a long time and was not proficient at the game even back then. Thought i'd ask

[high flame]

Iv asked a few people but cant get a solid answer but are you able to get the "harvest" from countdown?

[marsh tundra]

you should be

[high flame]

sweet iv even looked on google but that doesnt give any info

[marsh tundra]

its not a great weapon tbh

[high flame]

i know its just i want all the named items on a new acc due to a bet i made with a mate

[marsh tundra]

you can always get named caches

[high flame]

My luck in thoes are terrable i only get like glue most of the time

[wispy merlin]

nope

you used to be able to from the loot goblin but he's stopped dropping it now

it doesn't drop anywhere else

[thin wagon]

if i recalibrate a talent can i still optimize different slot stats or its now locked?

[pseudo tundra]

optimize yes, recal no

recal is only one slot, optmization any slot

[thin wagon]

ok good, thanks :)

[gaunt ember]

What is Critical recovery for journey?

[stuck frigate]

Can the apparel parts for the ''Meltdown'' collection be found ingame or is it only buyable ?

Never mind, found it.

[gaunt ember]

anyone in PC. can i join anything? can't do any damage in heroic. can't find what to do.... Meltdown...

[slim elk]

Want me to explain what to do as a fresh lvl40?

[cedar edge]

I would, I am totally lost on near enough everything to do with TD2

[gaunt ember]

i can't understand mechanic of game at all. they changed it since release.

[slim elk]

alrighty, I'll tell you both just gimme a couple minutes to write that whole text wall

[gaunt ember]

i used to play with hardwire set. and melted everything. now, armor damage, skill damage. everything is complex. worst than diablo 4 on launch

[warm pawn]

where is theo parnell after the manhunt mission?

[pearl pasture]

If heroic is too tough atm try challenging, it will still drop high end gear with reasonable rolls.

[gaunt ember]

can't solo challenging. Yellow and named enemies 1 shot me. 190 SHD

[pearl pasture]

Sounds like you might have outdated gear? That shouldn't really happen.

Can you send a photo of your build into #td2-build-advice ?

[slim elk]

You just hit lvl40, got your SHD watch but... I just came back after X amount of time or I'm new to the game, what can or can't I do?

First of all. We have a new guide for you! Lvl40 Starters Guide
Second, you'll need a solid build that can withstand most of the content. We simply recommend Striker's which is a DPS build and doesn't require Armor Cores (aka blues) for survivability. If you don't want to die easily, then I would recommend Heartbreaker (HB).
All of these builds are in the 📌 Spreadsheet at #td2-build-advice

How do I use or read the Spreadsheet?

Once you're in, your main objective is the Builds Hub.
Go to Hub > Builds. Here, you have lots of builds for every or certain content stored in Google Docs. Every note has the required Attributes (aka rolls), Talents and gear pieces.

Every GearSet is obtainable through Countdown Targeted Loot (TL) except: System Corruption which can be obtained via Legacy caches or DZ.

1. I got the right build but still can't hold Heroic
   Don't worry, stay on Challenging for a while and once you feel comfortable, try Heroic.

2. I have my build but can't stay alive at all
   You may have a different playstyle, look for a build that suits your preferences.

3. Where can I farm builds?
   Go to Map > Matchmake > Countdown > Challenging.
   Always make sure to select your TL.

4. I don't understand the words/acronyms that are used by the Division community, what do they mean?
   DTOC/DTTOOC: DMG to Target out of Cover.
   CHD/CHC: Crit DMG and Crit Chance.
   CC: Crowd Control (don't mix with CHC).
   HF: Hunters Fury.
   HB: Heartbreaker.
   HHF: HeadHunters Fury.
   DTA/DTH: DMG to Armor/Health respectively.
   Rolls: Referring to Main/Secondary Attributes.
   LZ: Light Zone/Open World.
   CP: Control Point(s); may add a 3 or 4 to point out the difficulty. 3 Being Challenging and 4 being Heroic.

[cedar edge]

Yesterday I was walking through the Hard difficulty without issue. Today they must be really pissed with working on a weekend. Every CP/hostage etc has had four+ elite guys that have ripped me a new one.

Oh, it was not that they were just Elite, it was that most of them had instant health/armour repair. LOL

[pearl pasture]

Also remember that CPs scale up to heroic after enough activities connected to it get done. So sometimes they catch you off guard with a difficulty increase

[cedar edge]

CAUGHT OFF GAURD! They were animals. rofl.

[pearl pasture]

Oh, were they glowing red? If so that is the new seasonal modifier. It is a pain sometimes lol

Called "frenzy" iirc and it gets stronger the higher your journey level i believe

[cedar edge]

I did not notice as they killed me near instantly.

[pearl pasture]

Yeah those enemies will have a few buffs, can turn it off when just farming if you need and i think emp/disrupt will stop the healing for the duration

[cedar edge]

I really like the game, except for the really confusing GUI, the ridonkulous amount of gear and variety. I would so much prefer it if you received gun parts over more and more guns. So you could upgrade them how you wish i.e a barrel/trigger/stock mod . Hey ho, I'm obviously not intelligent enough to figure this stuff out.

Still it is really beautifully crafted, outside of the random crashes. I'll most problably never visit the USA, so walking around seeing these things is really quite interesting.

[pearl pasture]

So you get the weapon mods from some side missions and other stuff but you need to craft them in the crating station. But the way division 1 had it was great. But this us simpler and easier i guess

[pearl pasture]

This is one of my favourite things too. Div1 and 2 are super thematic and pretty

[slim elk]

is this good enough for a pin? 👀

[cedar edge]

Thank you for this, I will read through the links as it will help. I have been using this web page to try to make myself a little more resilient, it's not working out so far. I WILL WIN IN THE END!!! 😄
https://kboosting.com/division-2/guides/builds

[marsh tundra]

why do you link a boosting website

[cedar edge]

It was the gearsets not for anything else.

[junior sequoia]

Those who agree please leave a in his message.

[marsh tundra]

there are plently of websites even this discord to look for builds

[cedar edge]

I paid £9 for TD2 and the NY addon, I ain't gonna pay for someone to play the game for me. lool

I'm cheap

lol

[marsh tundra]

not what i said

[slim elk]

don't worry about it, you shared it because of the Builds

[cedar edge]

If you read through the gearsets, you will see it has nothing to do with a boosting site. 😉

[gaunt ember]

is there maxroll like guide for TD2?

[slim elk]

god rolls are rare, don't target those, you'll get them within playtime

[gaunt ember]

so i understand what i am farming at all. now i am lost. Guide in the pinned. does not give guide. it just says you can use this and thats it. Cores? will i survive? will i be able to do damage? which talents?

[cedar edge]

For instance @marsh tundra this is what I am trying to build right now.

[slim elk]

Looks like a High End build, pretty solid I'd say

[cedar edge]

I will swap out the Elmo for the Iron lung as I like my sniper rifle. It has to be better than the set I am using right now as it is a real hard slog.

[marsh tundra]

the talent is given in the spreadsheet

[gaunt ember]

i need this kind of guide. so i can follow it. and while farming, i will feel power up.

[marsh tundra]

this is a unicorn build, you might need to farm for days or week for that

[cedar edge]

Please do not pay someone to play the game for you @gaunt ember that would be a real shame.

[marsh tundra]

just pick an easy build to get first

and then farm whatever you want

[slim elk]

1. Here's the guide: #td2-build-advice message

2. Cores as in Damage/Armor Main Attributes.
   3&4. Depends on you, not much in the build.
   Gear Talents are shown in the gear description, take a look at them when you get a chance.

[cedar edge]

I have the entire striker set, but added the Waterbear chestplate and some different gloves for better stats, but keeping the speciality of the striker set.

[slim elk]

Keep in mind that Named Items drop more in Named Item Caches or Named bosses

it's a hell of a pain to get the right rolls on named items rather than non-named ones

[marsh tundra]

depends on the named item

[rich kindle]

seeing that beautiful named item drop just for it to have a whopping 3% damage attribute

[marsh tundra]

tbh its harder to get a unicorn not named

cause the anme mean one stat is fixed

while not named chest mean 3 random rolls

a named chest is 2 random stats only

[rich kindle]

i think i have a better chance of winning the billion dollar powerball than i do of ever rolling a decent ceska so i see what you mean

[slim elk]

ceska is easy to get

[marsh tundra]

not the unicorn

thats the point

[cedar edge]

I like my Tarigrade. I'm sure it could be better, but it is far superior to anything else I have.

[gaunt ember]

does exotic drops show in minimap?

[rich kindle]

not gonna be too hard to optimize that to full so you can hardly complain about rolls like that

[cedar edge]

I did not even have a gear thing attached. Well now I do. The things you learn whilst reading kind peoples posts. 🙂

[stuck frigate]

What's the 3rd activity for week 1 scout?

[cedar edge]

Kill 20 people with skills

I'm on that one. I think you have to do it on East side or something.

[stuck frigate]

Appreciate you!

[cedar edge]

I have zero skill tiers, I must be the lamest TD2 player ever. 😄

[rich kindle]

LOL dont worry i rock 0 skill tier as well, pure weapon damage is the bomb

i do have a build with max skill tier but i just run healing skills on it

[cedar edge]

I take it you have to use the skills to up your tier level?

[rich kindle]

no no skill tier is a stat on your gear lol

it replaces the main stat like weapon damage or armor

[cedar edge]

Ah! So those tier symbols on the gear you choose/wear define how many tiers you have?

I wish I could remove the tattoo from the right arm, I like my pretty lady not to have tattoos. I'm an old fuddy duddy.

[rich kindle]

yep, its not something you have to slowly build up it's just a stat you can choose to build around

[slim elk]

yes, they look red or dark orange

[rich kindle]

so obviously if your build is at 0 skill tier you wanna run skills that are just generally useful like the self revive hive and the shield

[gaunt ember]

Anyone up for Jefferson Plaza heroic run?

need mask for Pestilence build.

[cedar edge]

Thank you Brandy, I have not looked at the 'revive hive', will give it a go. I have been using Pulse and Drone.

Brandy, Doomz and Lyfe thank you for all your help it is very much appreciated.

[gaunt ember]

what is Exotic drop chane in Challenging and heroic?

[cedar edge]

About 5-7%.

[rich kindle]

i believe its 5% on chall, 7% on heroic

[cedar edge]

I only know as I was watching some video a few hours ago about getting the Cayote mask. 😉

[stuck frigate]

@cedar edge it's not kill with skill. It's kill with|| seeker mines || just fyi, i just found out 🙂

[cedar edge]

I just got about the most pointless gun ever, the Backfire. A great gun if you want to lose your armour/health. lool

[cedar edge]

Yes I tried them, they are great fun as a support when trying to stop NPCs from taking over the IDE computers at the college.

[rich kindle]

200% critical damage is absolutely massive, so its worth the tradeoff. most people run stuff like armor on kill or hazard protection with it to mitigate the bleed effect

[cedar edge]

Ah! In the ||Scout mission||. Thank you dude.

I would just die instantly Brandy. Still it is going in the chest. 🙂

[rich kindle]

ya thats fair it is a pretty niche weapon

dont think it sees much wide use, but you can make it work

[pseudo tundra]

Yeah it was buffed so stacks faster so damage ramps up fast

[cedar edge]

RIGHT THAT'S IT!!! I have had enough, a bunch of elites shot me from three miles away with shot guns and wiped me out instantly. I really dislike shotguns, not even used one. Total bums.

Have a great weekend guys, catch you tomorrow.

[warm pawn]

can someone tell me what happened with theo after y6s2? (dm pls)

[warm root]

May just be me but does heroic now seem almost impossible to compete in? Everyone enemy I come across continuously heals themselves and are impossible to kill

[rich kindle]

the healing enemies are mad annoying sometimes, but if you're built properly you can shred them before they get the chance to heal

[stuck frigate]

Doesn't feel different to me to be honest.

[rich kindle]

however when the healing enemies keep deciding they're "suppressed" after taking 2 bullets, hiding and then healing back to full.... SO infuriating

[narrow kraken]

What weapon are you using?

[unkempt garden]

Whats the fastest way to get mats for optimizing gear?

[rich kindle]

ill be rockin st elmos until the day i pass away

[narrow kraken]

Hmm not sure why Elmo’s would suppressing that quickly

Well you can use shock rounds to pop them out of cover too

[unkempt garden]

godly weapon

but Chameleon is more satisfying imo (i obviously run striker crit build)

[narrow kraken]

Chameleon with all the buffs is very nice

[stuck frigate]

Right now a good way is through caches from the exposed event

[rich kindle]

the chameleons damage output is absolutely crazy but I can never get used to it, I'm more of a midrange AR kinda guy and the chameleon might as well be an SMG

[unkempt garden]

Whats exposed?

[warm root]

Everyone heals bombers, artillery, snipers everyone heals it’s the weirdest thing

[stuck frigate]

It's the current running event

[unkempt garden]

How long does it go

[stuck frigate]

Not sure, not ingame atm

[rich kindle]

ya it can get pretty overwhelming at times, if they just keep whittling you down while healing up pulling out the crusader shield and forcing them out of their cover is rarely a bad option

[elfin chasm]

how do i farm harvest

i googled and it said i had to do some sort of project?

[warm root]

For example just two weeks ago I use to be able to clear a control point on heroic easily with 2 rogue agents at the end no issues at all

This last week or so I can’t clear a single control point without dying so many times it’s like heroic got an upgrade

[unkempt garden]

Sure you dont run any Directives?

[pseudo tundra]

you are playing with the modifiers right?

you can try turning them off if you think they are taking you out of the game

[rich kindle]

or if you opted into the event maybe its just you taking more damage from being exposed?

[warm root]

Events have happen in the past it’s nothing compared to now

[pseudo tundra]

probme is enemies regenerating right?

[warm root]

There’s no healers or EMP’s down to heal anyone yet they still heal after every hit takes

[pseudo tundra]

thats the seasonal modifier for enraged enemies

they glow red?

[warm root]

No it’s any enemy on the map no one specific

[stuck frigate]

Black symbols above their heads?

[pseudo tundra]

i know it's any enemy

i'm talking if the enemies that are healing are also glowing red

[unkempt garden]

Kind of a weird question, but what's the fastest way to quickly increase SHD level?

[stuck frigate]

Priority objectives that give XP I'd guess

[warm root]

Ohh uh I noticed that yes the red glow

[unkempt garden]

Like Convoys and stuff or?

[pseudo tundra]

it's the season modifer

in case you havent read what it does

check the new isac simbol in your inventory

[stuck frigate]

Whatever the priority objectives give you. it'll tell you what the reward is. You will be looking for XP as a reward 🙂 Roll the objectives when you can if it doesn't give you an xp one.

[unkempt garden]

You can roll them? Okay thats new for me

[pseudo tundra]

there's also a pinned comment on how to farm XP with control points

[warm root]

Oh my goodness I thought I was going crazy😂thank you!

[stuck frigate]

Do you know where to find the priority objectives menu @unkempt garden ?

[unkempt garden]

No 😭

[rich kindle]

sometimes the game prompts me to go there and thats the only time i ever know how to get there.

[stuck frigate]

Hit escape, click on the current season on the far right ''burden of truth'' then, in the menu, click on priority objectives.

[unkempt garden]

Ohh those

So they arent fixed quests? How often can you reroll those

[stuck frigate]

You can roll them yes, a couple of times, then you'll need to wait for a bit

I don't know the exact numbers, but it's fine

Also a great way to really quickly and easily get exotics

[slim elk]

hey bird, is this message worth getting pinned for those who are returning or new?

[warm root]

What menu are Journey rewards in?

[pseudo tundra]

season

or what menu the modifiers go you mean?

[warm root]

The “journey rewards available. Claim them in the menu”

[pseudo tundra]

yeah then go to seasons menu and there's a journey tab

[warm root]

Thank you

[hard sorrel]

Creeping Death + Pestilence works?

[inner tendon]

@hard sorrel Creeping Death is a Status Effect, Pestilence deals weapon damage with its Talent, so: no.

Pestilence:

Hits apply a debuff dealing 100% weapon damage over 10 seconds. This stacks up to 50 times.
Whenever an enemy dies with this debuff, all stacks are transferred to a nearby enemy within 25 meters.```

[pearl stone]

So from what i understand, take your shd level and minus 800 and thats how much points youll get in scavenging?

People say wait until like.. shd 2000 or its not worth it.. but i have a lvl 30 boost and i feel like it'll go soo fast and 421 points in literally anything is absurd

[wispy merlin]

you can create new characters at any time, it only matters when you have to delete one

[pearl stone]

How long would it take 30-40 with a full squad?

[wispy merlin]

shd level is global across all your characters so all your characters will level with you

[pearl stone]

I mean.. i wouldnt get attached to a throwaway character

[wispy merlin]

around 2 hours

[pearl stone]

yuhh i realized

[wispy merlin]

the point is you're replacing an existing character with a new one for some amount of scavenging, which you correctly noted is shd - 800

[pearl stone]

How do you pop the boosts on a new character? Do you gotta get to a certain point in the game first?

[pearl stone]

minus 800, right?

[wispy merlin]

if you're too low, your gain wouldn't be as worth it as just leveling your shd normally

oh wait 800 yeah

[pearl stone]

Spooked me for a sec

[wispy merlin]

yeah sorry i mixed up with your 2000

but anyways yeah

[pearl stone]

This makes sense.. do you think 421 is worth investing 2 hours?

I dont think i can gain 421 levels in 2 hours normally

But this would give me soooo much resources i desperately need lmao

[wispy merlin]

like i said, if you have less than 4 characters, it doesn't matter whether you create them now or later

so you can just do it now

[pearl stone]

Fair

[pearl stone]

But what about this, compared to what you said about time investment

Whats my opportunity cost 💀

[wispy merlin]

this is only relevant when you have to delete one to make a 5th

[pearl stone]

Ooh, ok

[wispy merlin]

but in case you are making a 5th in the future, i'm not going to do the math but it's only worth doing this at around shd 3k or above

also keep in mind that the game's kinda giving you xp events more and more so the need to delete characters diminishes

[pearl stone]

Ok, fair

Because if i have 2 characters at shd lvl 40+ and another x5 event comes on, and i farm 1k levels on one, it means ive basically farmed 2k lvls right?

[wispy merlin]

yep, in terms of scavenging

[pearl stone]

Alright, bet. Thanks chief

[narrow kraken]

hes such a fraud fr

[junior sequoia]

Your main profile banner is worse, what you mean

[full crown]

Should I choose Unbreakable or Glass Cannon for the talent for this ceska chest (striker build)

[nimble spruce]

Those are rather opposite extremes. Most go with Obliterate.

[full crown]

Gotcha thanks

[rugged stratus]

its worth having all alts created as early as possible. even with low shd, those other alts will keep earning levels as you level your main. basically a nonstop 4x event. plus 4x the projects you can take advantage of. 4x prio objectives. youll only ever delete one if running a mule. 3 can be fully geared and maybe your mule just has a striker set that they stash when looking to run another mule

[lime wind]

Will I be able to unlock all the skills eventually?

[slim elk]

yeah, some are locked to the replayable manhunt rewards

[hardy sun]

whats even the benefit of having alts

[pseudo tundra]

people use it to either run things with limited drops per week multiple times (raids, incursions, projects) or to duplicate watch points to havelots of resources

[tough marsh]

Also additional storage space for hoarders

[hardy sun]

makes sense

ty both of you

[delicate flint]

Can you explain the watch points thing? I've also wondered about the benefits of having multiple characters, I saw people discussing it earlier but couldn't totally get the jist of it

[gray terrace]

Anyone know where the snitch is currently?

[slim elk]

Random spawns for everyone.

[gray terrace]

Bruh i just found out theres a vendor i can spend my textiles at i have 13k just sitting

[slim elk]

he has very limited stock so, anyways, I'll link localdeck's route to force spawn Snitch

#ask-td2-community message

[gray terrace]

How tf he was at that spot

[marsh tundra]

If you own wony

[sullen onyx]

hello, is the Lexington assault rifle not obtainable?

[slim elk]

not anymore

[heady tendon]

I have some blueprint locked under older season. Is there any way to unlock them ?

[marsh tundra]

no

[heady tendon]

Though so

Did Descent hoping that would unlock them

(along the way, I like that mode)

[marsh tundra]

descent will unlock some named

[heady tendon]

I finished unlocking all named since Reconstructed cache doesn't give more blueprint

[marsh tundra]

rip

[inner tendon]

They're talking about adding in the old Seasonal ones back, but it's been a while so don't hold your breath.

[trail urchin]

Anyone knows were I could find a somewhat recent list of all named piece (gear) pls ? The only relevant post ive found is from over 6 years ago, and most talents are out of dates...

[sudden matrix]

Spread sheet pinned in #td2-build-advice should have all that info and also where you obtain them.

[cedar edge]

Good afternoon warriors. I'm here to kick gum and chew arse.

That sounds rude. lool

[cedar edge]

Is there a way to make the support NPCs to follow you to the CP they are meant to be taking over. Mine are stuck behind a building an will not move.

[tough marsh]

Throw a grenade on their feet.

[hallow helm]

How do you Get liberty Pistol I already Have 2 components I dont have the rest I have done the View Point Museum and Space Administration HQ so many times but the Boss Dont Drop the Components, Am I doing something wrong ?

[nimble spruce]

Make sure it's at least hard difficulty and the mission isn't invaded (you want the mission icon to be blue, not red or yellow). Double check exactly which components you have in your inventory against a guide, so you know you're not looking for pieces you already have. Lastly, make sure you don't already have a completed Liberty in your stash or inventory.

[hallow helm]

I dont Have it in my stash or inventory

[unkempt garden]

How does the Memento Backpack actually work? Ive read the description so often and still dont get it. Ppl say its a musthave for a Striker build since it gives damage and surviability (?)

[nimble spruce]

it's a nice piece when playing solo, I certainly wouldn't call it a must-have

each token you pick up gives short-term and long-term buffs, the long-term buff has duration refreshed when you pick up more, but the short term ones stack and expire individually

[unkempt garden]

Ohh

[hallow helm]

Ok I got all the components But I dont see the Blueprint?

[pseudo tundra]

pretty sure you get it with the last component or when you go finish the quest by talking to the lady at the crafting table

[slim elk]

Inaya at the White House

[desert ibex]

Any chance that we could get the devs to add a small script for the AI to allow us to throw rocks or other objects to get enemies to react and go over to investigate where the noise of the thrown item landing came from? Sort of like Days Gone or AC:Syndicate.

[cedar edge]

I was a few minutes ago. @slim elk

[pseudo tundra]

i'm just really bad at remembering NPC names here

[slim elk]

hm?

[cedar edge]

They have names!

[pseudo tundra]

they do have names, i just have bad memory for names

[slim elk]

you hadn't noticed? lol

[pseudo tundra]

probably cant remember half of the rainbow six cast

[cedar edge]

I read that as 'any of ya at the White House'. LOL

[hallow helm]

I hav got all components I talked to inaya she doesnt do anything, Im not getting the blueprint

[pseudo tundra]

i'm not sure, isnt it a project you have listed?

[inner tendon]

@desert ibex When one enemy is alerted, all of them are.
I very much doubt that could ever be a thing.

[pseudo tundra]

otherwise what i remember is that you collect all components and get to finish the project

get blueprint and get to craft the item

[hallow helm]

Its not showing anymore XD, Is it bugged ?

[pseudo tundra]

not that i know

[desert ibex]

Yeah but it would be cool if it could. Have them go to a cautious state instead of insta-aggro

[hallow helm]

I will restart the game and see.

[pseudo tundra]

the AI here is way to basic and doesnt really have stealth mechanics

they kinda dont mix well with loot shooters

[inner tendon]

It's true, I know it personally.

[desert ibex]

Well maybe something to shoot for in the Division 3…?

[inner tendon]

It's like that one friend who can't just have one beer.

[pseudo tundra]

for div3, sure i guess we dont know what they plan for that

you can stuck in a weird limbo of ghost recon breakpoint or assassins creed

[inner tendon]

If it's a live-service game (it will 99% be): I'd bet on it not happening.

[pseudo tundra]

either game is a joke because loot doenst matter because any silenced sniper can kill anything in one headshot making levels irrelevant

[desert ibex]

It would be a cool mechanic to add when you’re doing missions and whatnot. Be able to distract and sweep in the other direction. Now imagine doing that in a coordinated fashion with a team? Whole ‘nutha level with the tactical aspects.

[pseudo tundra]

or some AC problem of enemies just survive backstabs because number says they are stronger

[inner tendon]

Assassins Creed with a silenced sniper rifle would be interesting.

TiL the vikings had a tac-50.

[pseudo tundra]

i think there is one in russia? one of those AC chronicles 2.5D ones

i think AC rogue gives you an silenced air rifle with poison bullets

anyhow enough about that

[inner tendon]

but back to div2: I doubt the series will go that direction.

[pseudo tundra]

stealth mechanics are funky when levels and tiered loot are involved

[desert ibex]

There should have been air rifles in syndicate

[inner tendon]

The game set in victorian london shouldve had air rifles?

[desert ibex]

That’s a shame because it would the series stand out

[pseudo tundra]

rogue is during pirate era

air rifles are quite old actually

[desert ibex]

I mean way ahead in terms of realism.

[inner tendon]

Plasma blasters are what Odyssey needed.

[pseudo tundra]

i think it would just cause it to fold towards ghost recon territory

[inner tendon]

Apache Helecopters for Valhalla.

[cedar edge]

Can you imagine them having Alien Isolation AI. That would be off the charts in bad assness.

[pseudo tundra]

i can see what you mean, it's not something that would fit div2, and cant tell what they want to do with 3 so who knows

[inner tendon]

I think it's fairly safe to say that div3 will be div2 but more.
Unless it goes in a wild direction.

[desert ibex]

Maybe offer it as an optional DLC, then?

[inner tendon]

an optional DLC that changes the way the entire engine and systems of the game works?

[desert ibex]

That way, it allows for a broader range of play style.

No just adds a new optional element for hardcore players

Similar to how Hearthfire added optional elements for adopting kids in Skyrim. You didn’t have to use it, but it was there for those who did.

[inner tendon]

Kids in skyrim was already added by fanmods first, but I digress.

I'm not going to stop you from wanting it, just temper your expectations.

[desert ibex]

Oh I appreciate it. I mean, I’m just spitballing, here

I just hope they don’t go the Days Gone route and make it really cool, then pare it down to nothing so that much of the cool stuff is lost in final editing.

[inner tendon]

The idea has been bounced around here before, along with drivable cars, being able to go rogue, taking settlements over, and even romancing characters.

[hallow helm]

Got the components and crafted it but, How can I reconfiugre it I dont have the Blueprint.

[pseudo tundra]

How did you craft it without a blueprint?

[hallow helm]

Im asking about the reconfigure blueprint to reroll the weapon, Not the blueprint to craft. is there any way I could send a screenshot ?

[slim elk]

buy it with Inaya?

[hallow helm]

It doesnt show up there its empty

[inner tendon]

You may need to scroll further down to see it in the Crafting Table.

[hallow helm]

I see it Its locked

can i send screenshot here ?

[pseudo tundra]

Y

[hallow helm]

y ?

I didnt understand ?

[inner tendon]

Yes you can.

[hallow helm]

Inaya Empty aswell just finished crafting the weapon.

[inner tendon]

Try re-logging ubi-connect.

[hallow helm]

I already restarted the game twice XD Let me try again.

[inner tendon]

Not just the game, the launcher too. In fact, your entire PC would be a good idea.

[hallow helm]

Ok Got it 😄

[hallow helm]

Fixed the issue Thank You So Much 😄

[warm pawn]

can i get coyotes mask from prio objectives?

[regal summit]

Yea, you should be able to get all the exotics in your loot pool

[cedar edge]

Okay I kind of cheated to find the last SHD in Two Bridges, but I can only find four. They usually show up when you are reasonably close, but not this time.

I used the division2map.com/nyc nothing nadda. 😦

[coarse crescent]

https://division2map.com/nyc

which one are you missing?

[cedar edge]

I have no idea, as I went to all the locations and climbed about, but nothing is showing. I did get the one in the blanked out zone.

[nimble spruce]

this shows all 5 - if you haven't discovered one yet it'll show as a small question mark on the map (might have to zoom in a bit)

[cedar edge]

Yearp, I have been to every location.

[coarse crescent]

great tip ^ try clicking on each as it has a short discription of how to find it

[nimble spruce]

you got a pic of your map in the area? I'm assuming the reason you think you're missing one is because of the project that tracks them?

[cedar edge]

One second I'll fire up the game.

It is indeed the project as I needed two more SHD, I found one in the dark area in the docks. The other does not seem to show even though, as I said, I have been to all the locations.

[spare atlas]

Do buffs granted by weapon talents stay active when swapping? For example can I do a headshot with a maxim 9 for the skill dmg bonus and then swap back to my other gun?

[nimble spruce]

no, a map like this one ^ that shows all the stuff in there

[nimble spruce]

generally not, the only exceptions I can think of are sledgehammer, finisher, and busy little bee

[cedar edge]

No as I have found them, so they do not show anymore.

[spare atlas]

Thanks

[nimble spruce]

yeah but a pic like mine that shows all the stuff that is in the area for you (control points, activities etc)

[slim elk]

horus, fast travel to the safe house that's in that area

[cedar edge]

Wait a second, I was still in the transition from washington to NY.

[slim elk]

it'll make things easier

[cedar edge]

Apologies, that was me rushing and not doing it correctly.

[slim elk]

are you sure you're missing the shd cache there?

you may have already picked that one up previously and you may not remember when

[cedar edge]

I had the project onscreen so I knew what I needed to finish and it still said 4/5

[nimble spruce]

hmm, well it doesn't look on that map like there's any you haven't found, although it doesn't show the one on the pier in the South so can't double-check that

[cedar edge]

That was the first one I found today, as it was the furthest away.

[nimble spruce]

you're actually not the first person to report this issue, although it was quite a while back and I can't remember if it was the same area of NY for the other person. I wonder if the project is failing to register one of the pick-ups for you

[cedar edge]

The last one I could find was close to the safe house and you have to shoot a rope for it to come down. That was when I gave up looking and used the map thingy.

Wait a cotton picking second, I have just gone to Projects and now Two Bridges is not there. I must have been a silly bug that has fixed itself after leaving the game. I have no idea if that is a thing.

[coarse crescent]

glad to hear your not being haunted by missing shd caches

[cedar edge]

Apologies for wasting all your time. Thank you guys.

[nimble spruce]

No worries, glad it got resolved!

[cedar edge]

Shouldn't the Project still be in the list, or do the NY ones disappear after being completed?

[nimble spruce]

they disappear after being completed, you don't need to 'turn them in'

[cedar edge]

Note to self then, if something seems off, restart the game. Seems fair. lool

[nimble spruce]

daily and weekly projects hang about until their time is up, but others disappear as soon as they're done so they don't clutter up the project page

[cedar edge]

Okay, now only another six to finish, except for the legendary ones, there is no hope I will be able to complete them.

[cedar edge]

To be honest the one set of missions I have really enjoyed in the Bounties. They can be really annoying. I might have sworn a few times over the past week because of them.

[unkempt garden]

i sworn alot during the gunner specialization stages. Especially when you have to break Basilisk's armor completely

[harsh dew]

why did multiple global directives activate when I only selected one? I only got the game a week ago, I must be missing something

[cedar edge]

I'm very new to the game also, do not worry too much, just kill everything you see and maybe do some bounties for the giggles. Good luck @harsh dew

[pseudo tundra]

special ammo and scavenged skills kinda got buggy this season, for some reason it's activating both instead of only one

[harsh dew]

am I at least getting bonus xp for both, or am I better off activating a different one?

[pseudo tundra]

you get XP for both, just that activating one also does the other by mistake this time around

[harsh dew]

ah that's not so bad, just the teal-colored icons littering the ground are slightly distracting

what is suggested after hitting agent level 40 as a priority? doing the strongholds again?

[rich kindle]

i like this message give it a read

#ask-td2-community message

[harsh dew]

I'm not even done with the story yet, I'm not beelining it towards farming a "functional build" right away

[cedar edge]

Baby Root is mine, muhahhahaha

Only two more backpack decorations to find. 🙂

[cedar edge]

I hammered the Story, until I could not figure out where the next mission was. Keep your eyes open for missions appearing around the main map. That is how I missed the change in location of Missions/side missions.

[gaunt ember]

Incursion on normal is harder than Heroic missions??

[nimble spruce]

yes

[gaunt ember]

Got one shotted 😄

[nimble spruce]

it's designed and scaled for a 4-person team, basically a mini-raid. It is technically possible to solo but very very difficult and only if you already have a good understanding of the mechanics and the specialist builds required

[gaunt ember]

Where to farm Oroboros? or which weapon is good for Striker build from pinned build guide

[marsh tundra]

ouroboros is incursion only

and any weapon with high rof is good with striker

[cedar edge]

Why do I have to kill someone in the darkzone. I only kill NPC not real people. 😦

[gaunt ember]

chatter box? or not, survivability of Striker is abysmal. Expertise level of mine is 2. 😄 in last 2 days.

[hard sorrel]

Just hug walls and position yourself so the enemies cant hit you

[cedar edge]

I'm using Striker, Tardigrade and some Brazos de Arcabuz gloves.

[gaunt ember]

is it in english?

[cedar edge]

LOL

I've been sticking to the Iron Lung as my main weapon, but St Elmo does rip through the naughty baddies. Not sure which I prefer anymore.

[gaunt ember]

is chameleon good for striker?

[marsh tundra]

no

[rich kindle]

when you set your targeted loot for strikers, why did the devs make it a 99.999% chance to get a chestplate? are they secretly sadistic people who want you to suffer?

[marsh tundra]

yes

[slim elk]

I used chatterbox with striker shield (Firewall Spec shield) and I had a lot of fun

[rugged stratus]

survival has 0% to do with build, and everything to do with situational awareness

we usually just say skill issue

[cedar edge]

Use the force Luke! lol

[rugged stratus]

if they dont have the force on their side, they can sub in force multiplier with mortar and tilt the odds in their favor 🔥

[pseudo tundra]

Striker approach is enemies cant hit you if they are dead

[cedar edge]

Is it best practice to sell or scrap stuff?

[marsh tundra]

in order of importance : librairy, expertise, dismantle, sell

[cedar edge]

Library?

Please explain Lyfe.

[marsh tundra]

librairy is the thing where you extract stats to use them later

its on the same menu as tinkering and expertise

[cedar edge]

I've been selling the purple stuff and scraping the yellow/green if it is not needed. I have kept some bits and pieces in the chest.

Oh, I have not used that yet.

[marsh tundra]

its one of the most important thing, you should get on it fast

[cedar edge]

Okay, I will try to find some information on that tomorrow. Thank you kindly Lyfe.

Is there a reason I have an exclamation mark next to the white house?

[marsh tundra]

depends on what it is

[cedar edge]

It says I have 19 SHD, by the looks of it.

[marsh tundra]

wut

on the map ?

shd is on your inventory not on map

[marsh tundra]

ah its shd tech

it means you can spend it

its prob to spend in ny safe houses

and its supposed to be a round number, so you have some left to find

[cedar edge]

There are a few left on NY, nothing in Washington.

[marsh tundra]

yeah most likely

[cedar edge]

What can I spend it on in safe houses? I just use them as fast travel sites. lool

[marsh tundra]

there is a chest to open with thoses

its free loot

[cedar edge]

FREE! NY here I come. lool

[marsh tundra]

you still missing at least 1 tech tho

you wont be able to open them all

[cedar edge]

Well there were two I had not opened, must have opened them before without knowing. Still have nine SHD tech left. Hey ho, will find more things to spend them on tomorrow. Take care and pleasant dreams Lyfe.

[marsh tundra]

u2

[rugged stratus]

easier said that done. an interesting fella to say the least

[marsh tundra]

truth be told, i couldnt even explain myself for the life of me

its hard when your brain is wired in a fked up way

being autistic is a wild ride

[gaunt ember]

how to farm food?

[marsh tundra]

food nodes, ressources convoys

[wise stirrup]

Is there an option to wear your mask outside the DZ?

[rich kindle]

in inventory options theres an option to "always show mask"

[wise stirrup]

Ah thanks

[rugged stratus]

there are big plots close to lincoln for each grey resource. food and components north, and water east

[hot ferry]

does increasing shotgun accuracy decrease spread?

[vivid zephyr]

how do you start journey missions?

[inner tendon]

Escape > Seasons (top right menu) > tab over to Journey.

[vivid zephyr]

Thank you!

[wispy merlin]

a little bit yeah

[stone skiff]

I would think Optimal Range would do that, it seems so in my experience.

[wispy merlin]

no, optimal range just makes your damage dropoff less steep

[hot ferry]

how long can a skill tier zero roly poly follow you around before it goes on cooldown?

[mellow trout]

Should tell you in the skill menu

[heady tendon]

also depend on the skill

drone and mine doesn't have the same cooldown

[hot ferry]

I said roly poly

thats the roller mine

[mellow trout]

Seekers

[pearl pasture]

Almost 5mins i think? Usually its like 270+ seconds but i might be mixed up

[green agate]

Any1 know why I am getting half the exp from pub execs now? earlier i was getting 656848...now im getting exactl;y half that

[marsh tundra]

did you have directives

[green agate]

yes, 3 on currently, and havent changed them

[marsh tundra]

on heroic ?

[green agate]

challenging

[marsh tundra]

idk then

[narrow kraken]

Wasn’t that a known bug? Don’t remember but it’s existed for some time now

[quick folio]

when is vendor reset

[marsh tundra]

tusday

[quick folio]

bet

[quick folio]

whats the fing point of nemesis having skills if i dont have any skills equipped??

[nimble spruce]

They get random skills if you either don't have ones or have types they can't equip (like shields)

[quick folio]

so much about them being a fing copy

prolly never going to touch the gamemode again fk that

[nimble spruce]

Safest option is to pick skills they can use but aren't very good, I'm personally a fan of fire chem and blinder firefly on nemesis runs. They don't ignite the chem automatically, and the blind wears off really quickly

Plus fire chem is great for quickly wiping a spawn on early loops

[hot ferry]

I don't recall the pesti looking like that.....

[nimble spruce]

they revamped a bunch of exotic appearances a few seasons ago

[hot ferry]

very funny

[nimble spruce]

?

[hot ferry]

just wanted to post a bug, too lazy to put in an actual report to be 100% with you

[nimble spruce]

oh, ok

[unkempt garden]

Got it in his hands like his own baby

[gray mason]

I already reported it

[gray mason]

Huh??? Are we not allowed to post links to the official UBI Discord? 😯

[cedar edge]

Maybe only UbiTencentSoft links are aloud now. 😄

[gray mason]

lol

[marsh tundra]

tencent didnt buy ubi

[cedar edge]

It is a flipant jest Lyfe.

[marsh tundra]

never heard that word before, i had to google

how dare you making me learn things

[cedar edge]

What is this Google you talk of, ah Brave says it is a data harvesting browser made by Alphabet that does evil things around the world.

[marsh tundra]

i dont think there are many companies that arent evil tbh

but thats another talk for another discord

[cedar edge]

I was about to say the same. Hallo Lyfe, how's the world treating you today?

[marsh tundra]

same as every other day

not good

[cedar edge]

That is sad to hear. Here's wishing that turns around for you.

[marsh tundra]

it wont but thx

[cedar edge]

You are more than welcome Sir/Ma'am.

[unkempt garden]

Question about Expertise. I got 6 things as Proficient, but my Expertise-Level is 1 (not a problem for me as im leveling up). However the question that remains:

Do Items that count as "Profficient" stay profficient or would you have to level everything up to Proficient again everytime you gain an Expertise level?

Im really curious because im in such a grind rn :D

[plucky hawk]

its a really confusing system with terrible terminology. You make items proficient by using them, donating as junk, or donating materials. Each level of proficiency is 1 experience towards the expertise system. By making different items proficient you'll raise your expertise level. Items that you are proficient with you can upgrade up to your expertise level

[sudden matrix]

The amount of items you need to proficient is shown under your current level in the expertise menu too.

[wide bay]

That’s about the easiest two sentence explanation I’ve seen 🙂

[nimble spruce]

Items that are proficient stay proficient, you reach max expertise lvl by getting everything proficient

[unkempt garden]

Alright good to know. Otherwise I would have an mental breakdown if Id have to level everything thousand of times 😂

Thank you very much 🙏

[plucky hawk]

its a end game of the end game system. Just play the game and it will naturally go up, but its really not worth stressing about

[sudden matrix]

Well the expertise you apply is unique to the item and isn't across all items of the same type.

[unkempt garden]

I plan on leveling to atleast like lv15, meaning all guns, gadgets and the stuff above

every set, brand and signature weapon would be overkill

[sudden matrix]

Be careful of skills expertise, some of it has no help or can be detrimental in the case of fire chems.

[plucky hawk]

whats wrong with fire chems?

[sudden matrix]

Expertise applies to the initial blast of the fire not anything else. If you get to a point where the flash outright kills vs setting them on fire on EP builds for challenging/hard content you are just kinda stuck there.

[next inlet]

Does anyone know if there’s like a certain “best” method for xp farming?

[sudden matrix]

One is pinned in this channel about control point XP farming.

[next inlet]

Thank youuuu

[unkempt garden]

Can some1 explain this to me?

is this the amont of mats needed for 1 profficiency level?

[wide bay]

It tells you the resources requires to upgrade the expertise level on your gear, gun or skill.

[open mountain]

for 27 of them

[unkempt garden]

So 770 steel to gain 1 profficiency level?

[sudden matrix]

This is why terms are important cause there is a huge difference between unionize and unionize.

Expertise level is the sum of your proficient items. That chart is the cost of applying expertise to items.
