Mind dropping one?

tiny stump
#

i'll see if i can find a pic

twilit gyro
#

Sure

tiny stump
#

i deleted a lot of build pics but what i usually do is run 3pc yaahl gear and a 10% (or as high as you can find) pulse resistance mod. the other three gear pieces can be whatever you choose. i've done it in the dark zone with 2 pc yaahl and ninjabike backpack and that has worked fine too

#

it should prevent HB from stacking up on you and diminishing their damage

#

although its not perfect especially if they're good at headshots

twilit gyro
tiny stump
#

no probz

#

also its nice bc ppl cant see where you are when they pulse the area

twilit gyro
tiny stump
#

yes

#

which is where an expertised ouroborus comes in handy

twilit gyro
#

Where can i get ouroboros

#

Im running bighorn/eagle bearer with safety distance as my backup

tiny stump
#

oh ouroborus has to be a lucky drop at the end of the paradise lost incursion which can be a pain if you cant find a team. theres a bit of a learning curve

inner tendon
#

Or each boss within the Incursion, but that's a 1% chance (the chest is 10%)

twilit gyro
tiny stump
#

yea it can be shared with you

twilit gyro

And one more question (i started playing a month ago and just a week ago i hit lvl 40) how to boost up my expertise fast?

tiny stump
#

there is no really fast way especially if you're pretty new. sorry

Honestly there is no fast way

Early stages: buy and donate 20 copies of every named item the be vendors sell.
Craft and donate 20 copies of crafting-locked items.
Farm countdown for a weapon type and donate them all until you have most standard weapons of that type maxed, then switch to the next one.
Brandsets and gearsets take 100 donations instead of 20 so it's a slower farm, or you can use them instead (you'll level faster if you equip multiple of the same set, but it'll work out the same in the long run compared to wearing different sets at the same time).
Donate excess materials to the most awkward things to level (bad/obscure exotics, bad skills, locked items like Enforcer and Stinger)

twilit gyro
#

Or i misunderstood you

nimble spruce
#

Focus farm xp when there's an xp event active (3x coming up soonish)

#

Not replicas, stuff like Motherly Love and improvised gear

twilit gyro
#

Okay, got it

nimble spruce
#

Run up alt characters to 40, use their watch scavenging points to buy more materials to donate.
Once you have a high enough shd (1500+, the higher the better) you can delete & replace them for an easy scavenging point boost

bold tiger
#

imagine this crappy bug! the hostage i got to talk to died after all was said and done. now i can't complete this activity

cedar edge
#

What am I picking up these egg type things for?

nimble spruce
#

Check your projects list

cedar edge
#

loool

#

AH! Easter event. Who would have thunk it.

twilit gyro
#

What's the reward? I didn't see before logging out

pseudo tundra
#

A helmet with bunny ears

#

Well its mostly that it has some rags tied that look like ears

bold tiger
#

and a named item cache

trim meadow
#

I extract this few days ago, and today I transfer into new mask. But it;s still in my library

#

Is it possible or I did something wrong?

#

Or this is how library and tinkering work, If I extracr something one time I can change anytime and won't lose it?

gray mason
trim meadow
#

Haha, Yes I love it. Thanks man. It's amazing. All time I thought will wait for right builds now I can apply any on my builds

#

πŸ₯Ή Thanks again

nimble spruce
#

You can only recalibrate one stat slot per item though

trim meadow
#

Yeah that's not problem I think

#

but putting 15% damage is something huge

trim meadow
#

Like if I change core attributes I can't do normal attributes?

#

Or like one core + normal attributes?

nimble spruce
#

One stat - so either core OR one of the minor stats OR talent (if applicable)

gray mason
# trim meadow Yeah that's not problem I think

You will also be able to Optimize the stats of an item (improve an existing stat), all the way up to max. Just remember that you can't recalibrate a stat that you have Optimized, and you can't recalibrate a stat you have Optimized. So be careful when you do either πŸ˜‰

wispy merlin
#

ah yes, you can't do something and that very same thing /j

nimble spruce
#

In most cases the core is already the type of stat you want, so you recalibrate the talent or one of the minor stats, and optimise the core

trim meadow
#

Can anyone let me know how to optimize?

#

Here only this 3 option

#

Oh here

#

So I can optmize as long as I've the resources right?

nimble spruce
#

Only if you've extracted the stat to your library

gray mason
#

And again, if you use optimize, then you can't recalibrate that particular stat.

nimble spruce
#

But optimisation resources are expensive so it's often better to farm on higher difficulties to get better rolls to start with

#

Then you only need a little bit of optimisation

trim meadow
#

Damnn, Why they made it so complicated

bold tiger
trim meadow
#

But good part is you don't have to worry about skill tier

#

skill core attributes have everything

bold tiger
#

i do though, i like skill builds more honestly

trim meadow
#

Can I switch gun mode

#

auto, single

bold tiger
#

πŸ€” maybe bog your computer down so auto shoots single shots, but not sure if you'd get to stay in if you do something like that

nimble spruce
#

Nope, except bighorn. Just got to tap for single and hold for auto

trim meadow
#

This gun is amazing, small but so powerful. Anyone noticed?

pseudo tundra

Quick question

bold tiger
#

quick answer

spare girder
#

If I don't complete the easter project 1 before the next one arrives, will I lose the Headgear?

bold tiger
#

no clue how that'd work, but i think next week you'd just be doing it and hopefully not skipping it or not finishing it

#

think the first time i completed one of these was for valentines

spare girder
#

I am asking because I only have around 35 eggs rn

#

And I can't access the game

trim meadow

there's like 2 missions i think where you could just run into the boss that's usually a chunga with a belt fed lmg

What are the best locations to collect eggs as I do not have long before I have to log off.

bold tiger
nimble spruce

Damn.... Forgot all about that))) Thanks!

bold tiger

just keep shooting his belt and pray kelso doesn't kill him while you're trying to cheese that

cedar edge
#

Thank you Lost. It says I only have 7h40m. I have things to do and I only have 63 eggs. :))))

nimble spruce
#

There's a bunch of chunguses half way through tidal basin when you're defending the npc, you could probably just keep breaking their chains in turn

bold tiger
#

oh Air and space for me had 2 BT chungas

nimble spruce
#

Have to deal with the other npcs at the same time though

cedar edge
#

Shooting chains?

bold tiger
#

yeah, the chungas like Saint and the Black Tusk has a belt that gets fed into their lmg

nimble spruce
#

Weakpoint on a BT or hyena tank: they have bullet chains that they repair when broken so you can repeat them over and over

cedar edge
#

Oh, yeah. The one that makes them stumble?

bold tiger
#

usually runs on their right side from their backs

cedar edge
#

Stumble, maybe not the best definition. The one that makes them kneel down and fiddle with their bits.

slim eagle
#

go

cedar edge
#

So shooting the chains makes them drop more eggs?

slim eagle
bold tiger
cedar edge
bold tiger
#

every. single. time. and you get that lovely eggs dropping around their feet animation

bold tiger
#

like i feel it takes the npcs 10-15 seconds each time to reattach the belt and probably 1-2 seconds to destroy that belt

#

i did that method 2 times but one of them i was already 60 in. 2nd time i got to like 97 or something then lost saint but had 3 laying around

Hello, I have just reached Lv 30. According to websites, I should've unlocked High-tier Crafting Station but i'm still on specialized with no option for upgrade. Am I missing something? I have only done 1 out of 3 strongholds so far if it matters.

bold tiger
molten stag
#

So I'm stuck on purple station until I reach 40?

bold tiger
#

believe so

molten stag
#

I see. Thanks for the info!

bold tiger
#

heard people say when DCD is invaded running that with 5 directives gets people to 40 rather quickly, never tried it so i have no clue

molten stag
#

Still don't know what directives are. Saw them mentioned a few times

bold tiger
#

there are 5 once you hit 40 that's fairly random out of 10. like the 2 current bugged one is enemies gets special ammo and when you use your skills it's stays on cooldown until you pick up green trophies. they're bugged as somehow even if you turn the skill one off it still drops becuase of the special ammo being on or something
think 1-4 directives increases the amount of experience you get by 25% each while all 5 on gives you 125%? haven't ran with directives in forever since i'm in no hurry with my shd leveling XD

molten stag
#

I see. Thanks again!

pseudo tundra
#

Directives are extra challenge/modifiers you put for more xp and extra loot chance

bold tiger
#

oh it also increases your loot chance? πŸ€”

sudden matrix
#

Yeah each directive bumps up TL chances you have.

bold tiger
#

interesting. i thought it just increased our experience XD

sudden matrix

It does both.

#

Is something bugged with call for backup spawns? I haven't played this game in years, but I remember back then that answering calls would spawn you in like a block away from the action so the host wouldn't see you just materialize out of thin air and also so you wouldn't immediately get swarmed by all the enemies that just killed them. But I've answered 3 or 4 calls now since coming back and every time it's plopped me right on top of the host surrounded by enemies. In fact, last time I spawned in ontop of a pair of downed agents, asked the 2nd guy and sure enough he also answered the call, spawned right on top of the host and died. Is this how it's supposed to be?

nimble spruce
#

In my experience it's always spawned you next to the host, but you get a few seconds of invulnerability to get to cover if necessary

heady veldt
#

is it better if I sell or dismantle items at lower level (24) currently?

heady veldt
#

k.. was just wondering if the materials play a bigger role later so i would try to get as much as possible.. but as you say 50/50 is probably the best way depending on what I need.

#

I got some mods now but I'm confused how to apply them. Do I need to be higher level or have any gear requirement in order to apply them?

wispy merlin
#

don't worry at all what you do right now

slim elk
wispy merlin
#

get to endgame (lv40) and worry about them later

slim elk
heady veldt
#

got it.. so far I've been only able to change the skin

@lunar trench Just copy a build from the spreadsheet that's πŸ“Œ pinned over in #td2-build-advice, all of those are Heroic viable, so they'll do fine in the PvE part of the DZ.
There's also a PvP section towards the top.
both are within the "builds" tab.

lunar trench

thx

#

As soon as you have the Watch, you're at the endgame.
You can absolutely make those builds without any points at all, you'll just need to be more creative with the Attributes.

lunar trench

thx, i appreciate it

daring wren
#

Good opportunity to farm DZ gear

inner tendon
#

The real trick is learning the ins-and-outs of div2, you won't be able to just jump straight to the hardest stuff, but you're building up to it.
1st step? Play on Challenging as your minimum, it'll help with farming a lot, and get you ready for the DZ's easier areas.

@merry plume moving the conversation here as it's not really fashion related.
A few people have reported their egg counts resetting, we haven't established a cause yet but the only fix seems to be starting again. When you complete day 1's project by collecting the first hundred eggs, it should immediately unlock the day 2 project (which is another 100 eggs)

The thing is i dont have a lot time to play those days, yesterday i grab 65 eggs in 2h30 lol

talk to the quartermaster in the white house

roger will do

#

okay guys.. so here's where I'm at.. I am packed with superior items and other things after reaching 30. I'm almost full in inventory. I have only 1250 e-credits, not sure how many mats.

I'm about to do a clean up, I already have 2 solid guns at level 30 and solid gear to keep going. Should I stack up more on e-credits by selling items or dismantled them for mats.. I'm kind of not sure

wispy merlin
#

just dismantle them

#

your end goal is lv40 btw so don't feel like you're attached to anything you have right now, you'll deconstruct them all

heady veldt
#

so mats more valuable at this point yah?

wispy merlin
#

yeah

heady veldt
#

bounties can give me some quick e-credits if I need it right?

wispy merlin
#

yep

heady veldt
#

so what is this?

#

Just unlocked.. it says modifiers but I'm unsure what that means.. the descriptions are kind meh .. should I activate this?

bold tiger
# heady veldt so what is this?

exactly that. modifies the game play. this current one is Rogue Momentum. each tier increases something while at tier 5 you get over charged skills

heady veldt
#

but is this a benefit to me or it's like a challenge increase for some return in xp or similar? for example this one.. there is no label on hover so I don't know what it is. I'm assuming it's something with headshots.

#

ah when I activate it gives a description.. duh

bold tiger
#

was about to say you check this in here?

heady veldt
#

okay I'm getting it now

bold tiger
#

if you know where to find this in your platform you'll unlock the active and passive modifiers

heady veldt
#

so this is purely buffs Rogue momentum for players.. do you turn on hostile modifiers as well? What is the benefit for modifying it and turning on hostile modifiers?

#

oh I see.. it's the seasonal stuff

#

robust vigil
#

Is there any single item (exotic or otherwise) that can be slotted into a DPS build to give that build great survivability for solo?

tiny stump
#

what i do sometimes for survivability is just put the talent preservation on the gun and use the gunner specialization. gets you 20% armor on kill so you can afford to take damage while you're shooting as long as you get your kills bc your armor will stay up.. if you dont play stupid anyway

#

I had no luck with exotic weapon in open world, Summit not in any mission. All I got from Priority Objective. Still same.

#

No it's not true, I did recieved some exotic from open world and some mission but it's April Fool items

heady veldt
#

so can someone help me understand what I picked.. cause I can't find it anymore.
Namely, I had a set I think of high-end gear and when i was shooting and killing enemies it was stacking up armor through the moon. I had so much of it, the little bars for armor on UI had like 50 thin armor bars, that enemy was basically unable to take me down.. but as I was leveling up I somehow swapped out of it and now it's not doing that anymore and I have normal amount of armor. I'm not sure what made it work like that.

Is that a mod on the piece of gear? or maybe an exotic? Is it Intimidate Talent?

heady veldt
#

so the bars for armor are white by default.. when i was killing enemies the bars would fill up blue

tough marsh
#

Yeah Bloodsucker does thag

#

Blue armor is bonus armor

heady veldt
#

is that a mod?

tough marsh
#

Backpack talent

heady veldt
#

thanks

#

that was it.. awesome ..

tough marsh
#

Np

heady veldt
#

so it's not just bloodsucker that does this right? if I pick that add armor amount while you kill enemies attribute it will also fill it up with more blue bars right?

tough marsh
#

Some talents give bonus armor as well but none of them work like Bloodsuckers - adding bonus armor as you kill enemies

heady veldt
#

got it

tough marsh
#

Actually, the Memento Exotic Backpack more or less work in the same way

heady veldt
#

so if I extract the Bloodsucker .. what's the process of getting onto another piece of gear? How does this transfer work? It's a bit confusing.

#

basically i'm wondering if I can extract it and put it on a different piece of gear that's higher level.. sorry I'm trying to learn all this stuff.. so many things

tough marsh
#

Yes

#

Once the talent or attribute is in the recalibration library, you can put it on any piece of gear

#

But remember that you can only recalibrate either the talent or attribute slot only once.

heady veldt
#

so just so i don't mess it up now.. for this Wyvern piece that has bloodsucker on it now.. I got to extract the talent first right? It will destroy the piece.

tough marsh
#

Yes

heady veldt
#

ok.. extracted.. so here's where i'm a bit confused..where do I go now?

#

Tinkering?

tough marsh
#

It's stored in the library now

heady veldt
#

right.. so let's say i have now a superior back pack that i want to imprint it on

#

I go to Tinker?

tough marsh
#

Yes, then recalibration

heady veldt
#

ok.. so I am starting to get it now.. so I click on the talent.. and then on the right it shows me the library of my extracted talents right?

tough marsh
#

Yes

heady veldt
#

then I select transfer and it will imprint the new talent I selected right?

tough marsh
#

Yes

heady veldt
#

ok.. it makes sense now.. thank you

tough marsh
#

But as you can see it's quite expensive to recalibrate at your level. So don't worry too much about it at your level until you get to lv 40.

heady veldt
#

yeah I get it.. I just don't want to get wrecked constantly.. so i just wanted to do this one

tough marsh
#

No probs

heady veldt
#

so let me just ask this.. as I'm playing.. I am equipping better pieces level wise to increase my health/armor really.. and I can always craft weapons I need so I'm always fine on my level to fight and finish stuff..

My question is.. since I will be definitely benefiting from these talents should I be extracting everything now?

#

I'm guessing later for making builds I will need these talents to be able to make a build I want right?

tough marsh
#

It's a good time to start as long as it doesn't derail your progress

heady veldt
#

okay.. so when I see good ones I might want to use, I extract, for rest just dismantle for mats right?

#

bounties for money as someone else suggested

tough marsh
#

Ultimately you'll have to complete your library (fill all attributes and talents) but that's up to you. But yes you can extract whatever you want

heady veldt
#

great.. and just one last thing so I can confirm it.. when I'm extracting.. does the list of items it shows also includes equipped items or it doesn't show those?

#

just so I don't extract equipped item by accident

tough marsh
#

It doesn't show your equipped ones or those marked as favourite.

heady veldt
#

cool... awesome.. thank you for your patience and help

@fossil hemlock Just an FYI:
You can only share loot with teammates if it was obtained whilst playing in the same group together, and only for a set period of time, that's listed on the item itself.

#

I'm unsure if they still drop elsewhere, but I would guess they're part of the Loot Goblin pool.

I just died on room 89 in summit because a pulse jammer had no cover near it... am I missing something or was it bad room generation. Also, is there a bug with fragile armor? I tried using an armor kit to repair my armor before standing next to the jammer to hack it but all it did was waste it without actually removing a broken segment.

tough marsh

Time to add Turmoil to my "take a shot" list

tough marsh
inner tendon
#

There is actually a fix re: Fragile Armour.

tough marsh
#

Is it.... Sturdy Armor?

inner tendon
#

IIRC, the fix is to just not heal when you're taking "tick damage".

#

It's hard to resist the urge to panic spam your heal when you are on fire, I know.

tough marsh
#

Interesting

inner tendon
#

It's either that or don't fast travel with it active, but I'm 70% sure it's the heal thing.

tough marsh
#

The don't fast travel part is disturbing

#

No fast travelling for me is like stairs to claptrap

trim meadow
#

How important it is to unlock those other 3 specialize weapon?

inner tendon
#

@trim meadow The guns themselves? You can pretty much forget they exist.
The real benefit to the Spec Trees are the buffs that you get from them. Very much worth it to focus on geting all 6 done ASAP.

#

you can get points for them by just having them active+levelling up, but also bonus points each week via Projects/certain bounties/invaded missions.

heady veldt
#

so nobody uses gunner huge mini-gun right? the point of gunner is the benefits of the tree only?

#

can you max out all nodes on the tree? do you get enough points?

narrow kraken
#

Can max out everything except the weapon buffs, only 3 of those and some on the bottom right of the tree

inner tendon
#

In the case of Gunner, the main benefit is "armour on kill", and the Pulse Skill variant.

#

Every Spec Tree has "that one thing", that may actually be a few.

narrow kraken
#

Minigun also isn’t useless, it’s really underrated. It’s just unreliable since it takes so long to ready/stow

inner tendon
#

It's not so much "underrated" as it is "underpowered".

nimble spruce
#

Plus it forces you out of cover and slows your movement down so rather risky on a red build

narrow kraken
#

I guess compared to the other spec weapons yeah

inner tendon
#

All the Spec Weapons are underpowered, espectially since they have reduced damage on Named targets.
It's kind of a "by design" thing.
and yeah, absolutely what Kettle said.

tough marsh
#

It's very niche.

inner tendon
#

I hate to say it, but the most useful one of the 6, has to be the Survivalist Crossbow.

#

and that's pure utility.

narrow kraken
#

Tac 50 still reigns supreme

tough marsh
#

When you're at the top of your game and camping every spawn then it's worth using but otherwise no

inner tendon
#

What does it reign surpreme over?

tough marsh
#

Pizza

narrow kraken
#

I mean it has the highest base dmg in the game, its the best thing to build headhunter stacks on

tough marsh
#

Compared to the flammenwaffen? Yeah I agree

narrow kraken
#

The flamethrower takes 9 damn centuries to inflict burn

tough marsh
#

No?

narrow kraken
#

It in fact does not..

inner tendon
#

I'm looking at both of them now, lemme double-check

tough marsh
#

Nemesis uncharged deals very little damage

inner tendon
#

The uncharged doesn't matter.

#

but yeah, it turns out that the base for both is slightly uneven, the other build mustve had an MMR bonus on it, that I guess doesnt work for the tac50

#

1.15 vs 1.5 as base damages on a full yellow setup, no spec tree bonus.

#

The thing is: one has a few more bullets than the other one.

nimble spruce
#

Generally only need one or two bullets to get that hh bonus going tbf

narrow kraken
#

The UI for spec weapons shows an incorrect base dmg number btw

#

Has been since release

inner tendon
#

The issue is not getting the bonus started, it's killing more than what, 8 enemies.

#

The base doesn't really matter when you need to go and get kills with a different weapon every few kills.

#

Spec Weapons are fun to use for sure, sometimes, but they are unfortunately not a build focus right now.

# inner tendon <@821739553244315694> The guns themselves? You can pretty much forget they exist...

Yeah I know they have skill tree, But the concern is. Does it takes too much time. And do I've to do the upgrade specific one there have a side where only 45 upgrade available in left side and you can't do more than that. So how long might it take to unlock each special weapon so I can get the skill tree. Like straight 2-5 hours or any example hour? So I can make sure to get enough time after office. And do I''ve to readt and make sure to specific I need to use in my build when I unlock the skill tier with the point?

@trim meadow I've given you the various ways to get the Spec Tree points, how long it takes is up to you.

Meta players love Penguins Golf Club

heady veldt
#

I found one thing that mildly annoys me with the game.. the fact that some skills like Seeker Mine I'm using bugs out sooo much. It won't trigger sometimes if I drop it before I target a group. I actually like the skill but bugs like that in the middle of the fight gets old fast.

#

am I using it wrong maybe? I don't know. Sometimes it shows red circles for target area, then just won't launch. Others times, works just fine. Is this a thing?

tough marsh
#

Nope, it's that inaccurate

#

Sometimes it stays with you if the enemies are out of the mines' range, so move closer to the enemies and tap the button again

heady veldt
#

pretty annoying.. I'm gonna move away from it anyways..seems like from what someone told me here people really don't use those guided skills anyways in end-game activities due to getting hacked or something

nimble spruce
#

Skills only get hacked if hunters are around - mostly just countdown and summit floor 100

heady veldt
#

so what is Summit? I have it unlocked now but haven't tried it.. I saw people mention floors earlier as you noted.

#

like a building with 100 floors? πŸ™‚

quick folio
nimble spruce
#

It's intended as a loot cave, but in practice it's just not as good as countdown or open world for loot farming. Rather dull environment too.

heady veldt
#

got it.. I guess i'll try it at least once.. is it soloable?

midnight geyser
#

Yeah it's soloable, I've done it a few times. Iirc you get more drops in groups since there's a larger enemy pop that way

nimble spruce
#

Yes, you've got a lot of difficulty and directive options so can make it as hard or easy as you like. If you're level 40 I recommend looking at the challenges (from the map menu when you're in there) and completing at least 5 to get the capacitor, a very useful exotic AR for skill builds.

heady veldt
#

got it.. I just hit 39.. are gear drops better if you add difficulty modifiers?

midnight geyser
#

modifiers only increase your xp gains in summit iirc, but the base difficulty modifier does increase drop quality.
Heroic I believe is the highest difficulty you can run summit at

#

been a while since I've run it so that may have changed though

nimble spruce
#

Directives add more xp and more target loot drops.
Summit difficulty ranges from normal through to legendary.

spare girder
#

Does anyone think all agents in story or lore-basis have been given the name Sheriff as a call sign?

warm pawn
#

do directives boost the amount of target loot or the odds?

nimble spruce
#

Target loot has a chance of dropping each time you get a regular loot drop. Directives increase that chance. So effectively you'll get more pieces of target loot on average.

hard sorrel
#

Never done it before so it looks kinda scary but the Incursions are hard or hard

hard blaze
#

Incursion is easy

nimble spruce
#

Easy is relative

#

If you're ok with legendary then incursion is easy, if you're used to heroic it's a bit tough, if you're used to challenging or lower it's extremely tough

mellow trout
#

Only easy assuming you have a competent team with at least decent builds and knowledge of strats

hard sorrel
#

Oh, another question about those "exclusive" exotics. I just did DH so it means that I have to wait another week or re-run it 5 times to get another chance at the EB correct? Or the drop can only happen on the first try. Does it also affect IH and the Incursion or I can run them and get a chance at the Ravenous and Ouro.

Fragile armor has been bugged like that for years. Best advice is to avoid applying an armor kit while you're under any status effects, that seems to reduce how often the bug happens. Getting downed is generally the only fix once the bug does happen though.

determined moment

low lynx
quick dome
#

ooh i have not i will try now

#

not on any of them either

low lynx
#

Even your alt mailboxes? Idk if you’re trying to do the β€œthing” I just know how weird it is sometimes with those when you make a new character

quick dome
#

yup its on none of them

#

also what is "thing"

#

i also bought the pack on my main character and the lullaby showed up immediately

bold tiger
quick dome
#

oh i have mules but its not on any of them

bold tiger
#

hopefully you didn't do something like pull the weapon on a mule, deleted it with the weapon in the inventory

quick dome
#

it hasnt shown up at all to pull it

low lynx
#

Maybe try making a new character in Dc, logging out immediately after starting the prologue and deleting that character. It makes them pop up on your main when you log in after deleting a character as long as no other copies exist , this is the β€œthing”

quick dome
#

you're a king

I just hit level 40, is gear from normal difficulty the same stat weights as harder stuff or is there still β€œgearscore”?

Ew wtf are you running

2pc habsburg, 1pc airaldi, 3pc hotshot

for legendary moedel 700

nimble spruce
#

Nice one. I got trolled by the game earlier, Habsburg chest with chc, chd and hh

quick dome
#

damn bro i tried for that chestplate for agesss man

quick folio
#

yea took me like 750+crafts maybe?

quick dome
quick folio
#

i honestly cant believe i just got it

#

like i was bored, was like might as well try some crafting (had a mule for it) and there it is

quick folio
#

i know u said u gave up like after 300 a week ago or smth

nimble spruce
#

Nah I crafted a couple of hundred several months ago then decided it wasn't worth the effort

quick folio
#

bro 99% gamblers quit before hitting big

#

(insert the digging mmeme with diamonds)

nimble spruce
#

It's not really big though, would make very minor difference to my build at best

quick folio
#

ikr, this will at most give me 1.5mil dmg

open mountain
#

@bold tiger throw a demo firefly at these 5 and get up to 5 eggs per run

#

then just wipe after picking up the eggs

#

with a skill build

#

i use fire sticky to wipe

bold tiger
#

thank ya, wasn't exactly sure since all they said. demo firefly and getting 50 eggs the wiping and repeat

open mountain
#

you can let them stack up

bold tiger
#

oh yeah definitely. done that with the mini tanks or the chunga with the belts

open mountain
#

so if i get them to drop 5 right now and wipe and do it again ill pick up 10 when i pick that set up

#

its just leaving them on the ground

bold tiger
#

another video "bunker kill the rushers, die and repeat"

open mountain
#

#easy

bold tiger
#

i tried the bunker, seemed slow going for my tastes

#

cause you know their twitchiness even when rushing you. i either hit the head or crotch and they die from being in normal difficulty

time flys when you're having fun!

bold tiger
#

honestly not fun watching them fumble putting the belt back into their gun. least to me. 2 of them is pretty amusing. had 3 that was rough

open mountain
#

i jus did it in like 13 minutes

daring wren
#

It’s compton. Trust 😎

quick folio
#

is there a skill that one shots warhounds or such?

bold tiger
quick folio
#

or is there a workaround

quick dome
#

nemesis sniper

quick folio
#

it does like a mil and a half

quick dome
#

charge it up after you use determined on dog

#

should be able to 1 tap a purple if charged nemesis shot

#

achiles pulse to help

quick folio
#

maybe if i have HH stacks

quick dome
#

if you have hh stacks you can 1 tap the dog easy problem is it resets it and your next determined shot will do like 6/7 mil

quick folio
#

thats not what i ment

quick dome
#

so you charge nemesis shot to get a free 1 tap to build some hh

quick folio
#

i got left with the dog only, without hh stacks or determined

#

no enemies around

#

i assume achilles and charged nemesis could do it then?

quick dome
#

that seems like a very unlikely scenario to occur

quick folio
#

its literally in the first area of roosvelt

#

2 dogs didnt move from the left corner they spawn in

#

while i killed every other ad

quick dome
#

how many other ads were there?

quick folio
#

idk a lot

#

not enough for me to go from dog to a human and vice versa

quick dome
#

did they spawn in with them or after the ads were cleared

quick folio
#

they were the last two ads

#

prolly spawned with them idk

quick dome
#

well if they did spawn with them you can probably human to dog them

#

double ad then dog rinse repeat

quick folio
#

if i had a human tho

#

the whole point of this conversation is how to deal with dogs if there arent any humans around to leech hh/determined

#

achilles is an option

quick dome
#

yeah but the point is to not end up in that situation in the first place if your running hh

quick folio
#

i wouldnt've ended up if the dogs moved from their spawning point

#

but they stayed there unnoticed

quick dome
#

well if we are going purely of 2 dogs no ads idk if a charged nem shot with achiles is enough but it might be

#

the only other option i could think of would be dodge city gunslinger stacks and pistoling with achiles

quick folio
#

smart

quick dome
#

what difficulty are you on? i might be keen on testing

open mountain
#

you are just forced to drop stacks on them

wispy merlin
#

headhunter bypasses this damage reduction

open mountain
#

if you emp

wispy merlin
#

and if you're out of hh you're just SOL

open mountain
#

and if you can get super close to it you can stuff your shotgun into its body and hit it for straight health

wispy merlin
#

yep ye old clipping tech

quick dome
#

honestly id just use my g28 which does half the damage of a good marksman but shoots fast asf too chunk the health down little by little

open mountain
#

i considered booting the game to do it but idgaf just trust me

wispy merlin
#

nah do it for the average player ❀️

open mountain
#

maybe if the below average player was asking

wispy merlin
#

i'm below average

open mountain
#

no you seem kinda average

wispy merlin
#

did you just assume my skill level

open mountain
#

just using profile clues

#

where the hell do i find a dog fast i cant think of a place without doing stuff i dont want to do

quick dome
#

how many exo components are spent for a max expertise weapon?

daring wren
#

BT public execution?

open mountain
#

federal emergency bunker after like 4 rooms

#

oh yea!

quick dome
#

is that normal difficulty i see?

open mountain
#

itll work the same in higher difficulties

#

just have to shoot like 2 or 3 times instead

#

idgaf so im doing testing on normal

warm root
#

When making an exotic blueprint is the damage lower than you would find if you found an exotic during countdown?

bold tiger
#

@dry pond you see the numbers below the expertise level? like i'm 11 and 48/200

dry pond
bold tiger
#

think current max is 28

dry pond
bold tiger
#

one more picture i should've taken

dry pond
#

Picture of what?

bold tiger
#

all armor upgrades you do in expertise is only upgrade that base armor in white under the name of the gear

potent wedge
#

how do you grind out the summit floor 10? did everything to keep it on floor 10 but it just progresses to the next floor

pseudo tundra
#

did you try going back to the lobby?

potent wedge
#

yup

pseudo tundra
#

also the floor 10 farming is a very specific way to farm just items

#

not for XP

#

just kills the boss and restart

potent wedge
#

yeah ik, im farming for ARs currently

pseudo tundra
#

and only the boss

#

finish everything else and the floor will count as cleared

potent wedge
#

wait you mean, kill only the boss and then just go back to lobby?

pseudo tundra
#

well now just go to floor 20 and try again

#

yeah

#

it's on paper better to farm specific items at very high difficulty

dry pond
#

What about weapons? What gets upgraded when u upgrade a weapon?

bold tiger
potent wedge
dry pond
#

Daamn even more dmg.

#

Good stuff to look forward to eventually xD

pseudo tundra
#

yeah, wouldnt really reccomend doing it unless you are farming stuff at legendary for better rolls or exotic rates

potent wedge
#

i still get good stuff on challenging, just what you said, the rates are just a bit lower than if it was legend

bold tiger
dry pond
#

That makes sense, so its only really used to upgrade weapons in PvE?

bold tiger
#

it's what i do, not sure of others honestly. hopefully someone in the know will be in here and correct me on whether it's worth it or not

pseudo tundra
#

i think some skills might get a relevant boost

dry pond
#

Okay cool. I think I have a clear picture of the expertise system now. Thanks for all your help @bold tiger

bold tiger
dry pond
#

Well dmg is for sure a priority anyway. And expertise is a long term thing anyway so might not get to upgrading any armor for a long while.

bold tiger
#

nods devs just gave us another avenue of prolonging their game for us gamers

bold tiger
warm bluff
#

I see.. thank you

inner tendon
#

@warm bluff To make it easier, there's a lot of specific things you can do to get a ton of points very quickly.
Any Project or Bounty that mentions the points gives them, as does the first run of Invaded Missions per/week, and just straight-up levelling up your SHD.

warm bluff
#

Bounty, projects and weekly invaded missions. Got it, thanks!

inner tendon
#

No worries! Just keep an eye on the rewards list before you start it, any that have the Spec Tree icon that you have active and a number will give you that much.
Seems obvious, but you can get a loooooot per week.

bold tiger
#

was going to comment thinking the specialization unlocking projects gave some to, but think it was only from leveling in general

inner tendon
#

I'm going off an incredibly distant memory and what I can see ingame, tbh.

#

I don't think I've done them since like, 2019.

bold tiger
#

for me it was prewony and gears 2.0 i believe?

#

you know back in the day when we had to wear 6 gear set pieces and be a specific specialization
think the gloves had a talent slot and mask as well? i forget the rest

inner tendon
#

Damage to Elites, ah DtE.

green agate
#

Is kenly exp farm gonna be a thing when it comes out again?

bold tiger
#

you know i totally forgot about that? was thinking it was Div 1 thing

#

only thing i vividly remember was clutch on gloves and berzerk chest

tough marsh
bold tiger
inner tendon
#

@green agate As it's become a "thing" for people to know about, it's now a matter of removal on this server.

#

Bringing it up enough will result in a warning.

green agate
#

well i kinda was askin but unsure how kenly works or what the event is for

inner tendon
#

The event is just "get some extra xp for doing kenly".

tough marsh
#

Oh

#

I forgot there was an event about it, my bad

inner tendon
#

IIRC the last time I checked, it was only 15 SHD levels.

green agate
#

ah okay

bold tiger
rugged stratus
#

did it not get patched, the exploit part?

inner tendon
#

I don't get insider info, so your guess is as good as what the patch notes mentions.

#

If you do want to farm XP, control points are a legit way to do it, that is very fast.

tough marsh
#

Short answer, yes

rugged stratus
#

also has a guide πŸ˜‰

inner tendon
#

If someone upstairs does tell us to pass it on to y'all, you can bet we'll do so.

rugged stratus
#

i just wasnt sure. something like that is usually common knowledge among the community

#

i been kinda doing 60hr weeks for a few so a little out of the loop

inner tendon
#

I can't speak for them, but judging by a certain off-site XP farm that resulted in bans before, MSV don't like to advertise that an exploit exists until it's fixed.

#

Fair call, honestly.

bold tiger
#

huh, i know most things that goes public gets patched and sometimes a lot of people get rolled back

inner tendon
#

Not many roll-backs overall, mostly just patch and forget.

#

the one I'm referring to above resulted in bans due to it actually affecting Servers, and multiple warnings+ban stages before the full account lock-out.

bold tiger
#

pretty sure a couple exploits i've seen made public that affected servers had some people roll back to a previous shd level of some sort, then again maybe it was click bait too XD

blazing timber
inner tendon
#

Emphasis on the "not many" part.

tiny stump
#

the endless oxidizer thing at the pentco bounty or whatever it was. that ruined the game for me for at least a week

green agate
#

so i started donating ARs as junk to my expertise with countdown drops, and currently 9/38...whats a good point to move onto a different weapon type? im expertise 6 atm

inner tendon
#

Gearsets are a good "get these out of the way", if your main goal is donating.
Since every TL drop you get in CD, will count towards the total.

green agate
#

ah i see, so slap on 6 pieces and run CD to level them fast?

#

on top of donating too

inner tendon
#

That's a bad idea, as that means your build is going to be bad, and people will either kick you, or have to drag you, slowing down the process.
Just take a good build and clear it faster, so you have more to donate.

#

If you can, a good build that uses that particular Gearset, although that's not always applicable within CD.

What will happen with my mods when I salvage a weapon with mods on it? I’m afraid to test it, just lvl 15 atm so not many mods available

slim elk
warm fjord
#

Ah for weapons I still have them even when I salvage the weapon? But the mods in armor will be destroyed? Did I understand correctly?

#

Thanks ❀️

cedar edge
#

Who on earth did I just kill? An yellow NPC ran out of nowhere all alone at supersonic speed, I've never seen one of them before, any ideas?

tough marsh
#

From the manholes?

cedar edge
#

Not sure Pengi, I was just walking about and this dude came sprinting out of nowhere like Usain Bolt.

hard blaze
#

Never been this edged with a god roll before lol, dropped on Challenging as well

tough marsh
cedar edge
#

He did not attack until I took his head off. Then yes, he dropped some nice shiny loot.

#

Yes he had a huge backpack on.

nimble spruce
#

That's the hoarder, often also referred to as the loot goblin. When a seasonal event is on, like the Easter one now, they drop some unique named items you can't get anywhere else

cedar edge
#

Cool, are there quite a few of them?

nimble spruce
#

They have a chance to spawn when you get close to one of their possible spawn points (generally big manholes)

#

If you want to farm them, there's three possible spawn points close to the DZ South main entrance, you can go there, run left into the car park, if you don't get one, or you do and kill it, just log off and on and try again

cedar edge
#

I was in West End near the big circular park waiting for some named enemies to come along as I need two for a project. I will have a look in S DZ later after UKColumn.
