i'll see if i can find a pic
Sure
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
Im not expecting heartbreaker players to be good at anything
Thanks for the build tho
Yeah but you gotta sacrifice some damage right?
Where can i get ouroboros
Im running bighorn/eagle bearer with safety distance as my backup
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
Or each boss within the Incursion, but that's a 1% chance (the chest is 10%)
Lets say i find a team, everybody gets a different drop?
Cuz i guess if i was running only for it i can ask for them to share their ouroboros with me
yea it can be shared with you
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?
there is no really fast way especially if you're pretty new. sorry
Honestly there is no fast way
Got it
So i just gotta grind these pink materials and donate them?
Yeah
Heartbreaker is easily countered by pulse res
yea i told em
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)
So replicas have their own expertise?
Or i misunderstood you
Focus farm xp when there's an xp event active (3x coming up soonish)
Not replicas, stuff like Motherly Love and improvised gear
Okay, got it
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
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
What am I picking up these egg type things for?
Check your projects list
Don't want to! MEH!
loool
AH! Easter event. Who would have thunk it.
What's the reward? I didn't see before logging out
A helmet with bunny ears
Well its mostly that it has some rags tied that look like ears
and a named item cache
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?
Yup, once extracted, you can apply it over and over again π
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
π₯Ή Thanks again
You can only recalibrate one stat slot per item though
Wait I can change one item
Like if I change core attributes I can't do normal attributes?
Or like one core + normal attributes?
One stat - so either core OR one of the minor stats OR talent (if applicable)
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 π
ah yes, you can't do something and that very same thing /j
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
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?
Only if you've extracted the stat to your library
yup, or till you reach max for that stat
And again, if you use optimize, then you can't recalibrate that particular stat.
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
Oh it's haver another level of farming
Damnn, Why they made it so complicated
they have to keep the 5 digit shd level agents busy somehow
But good part is you don't have to worry about skill tier
skill core attributes have everything
i do though, i like skill builds more honestly
π€ 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
Nope, except bighorn. Just got to tap for single and hold for auto
This gun is amazing, small but so powerful. Anyone noticed?
It got reworked recently, it was pretty bad before
oops my bad mouth
Quick question
quick answer
If I don't complete the easter project 1 before the next one arrives, will I lose the Headgear?
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
I got 50, Hope can complete other 50 to get those cache
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
like Grand Washington Hotel
Why won't my specialization weapon kills go up from scout week 6? I got 8 and then it stopped((
ΠΡΠΈΠ²ΡΡ Π²ΡΡΠΌ
The event runs for 14 days and there's only 7 days worth of events, if you don't complete it today you'll be able to do 2 days projects tomorrow. You could even leave it for a week then do all 7 projects in one session to get all the rewards
i don't recall needing specialization weapon kills for scouts
do you remember what was the first one in week 6?
@slim eagle English only in the discussion channels please. You can use your preferred language in lfg and clan recruitment channels.
What are the best locations to collect eggs as I do not have long before I have to log off.
oh right, you staying in the zone needed for it?
Did you leave the area? Has to be done in Judiciary Square
Damn.... Forgot all about that))) Thanks!
only one i saw recently. googled "saint division 2" and saw he was in grand washington hotel
just keep shooting his belt and pray kelso doesn't kill him while you're trying to cheese that
Thank you Lost. It says I only have 7h40m. I have things to do and I only have 63 eggs. :))))
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
oh Air and space for me had 2 BT chungas
Have to deal with the other npcs at the same time though
Shooting chains?
yeah, the chungas like Saint and the Black Tusk has a belt that gets fed into their lmg
Weakpoint on a BT or hyena tank: they have bullet chains that they repair when broken so you can repeat them over and over
Oh, yeah. The one that makes them stumble?
usually runs on their right side from their backs
Stumble, maybe not the best definition. The one that makes them kneel down and fiddle with their bits.
go
So shooting the chains makes them drop more eggs?

yes, as they feed the belt into their gun again you shoot it off and an egg icon will drop
HOW MUCH ARMOUR! Holy mackerel.
every. single. time. and you get that lovely eggs dropping around their feet animation
no clue, stream video "collect 100 eggs in 1 minute!" uh it's a lot longer than you think buddy
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
π₯°π€β€οΈβπ©Ή
#divashion might appreciate this more.
nods you may love it, but i'm like ewwww why?
Tidal was the best for farming eggs. Kept the big dude alive killed everything else and farmed him like a field of corn.
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.
old information that you're looking at
last season i think? they made it so we can get to level 40 just being in washington DC
So I'm stuck on purple station until I reach 40?
believe so
I see. Thanks for the info!
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
Still don't know what directives are. Saw them mentioned a few times
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
I see. Thanks again!
Directives are extra challenge/modifiers you put for more xp and extra loot chance
oh it also increases your loot chance? π€
Yeah each directive bumps up TL chances you have.
interesting. i thought it just increased our experience XD
So even if I don't complete the first one in time, it will still stay right?
Inaya does not seem to do anything for this Project after getting the holster. Am I missing something?
As long as you complete all of them within the next couple of weeks, the specific dates don't matter, you'll get everything
AYYYYYYYYY
go to the projects desk upstairs
are the turmoil knees gone ? didn't see mine to claim when logging in
Is there a reason my SHD tech isn't available for me to unlock my last trap? I have 5 extra SHD tech and it doesn't work for the Trap.
all trap variants are unlocked in previous manhunt missions
shock in the kajika from the WONY expansion, explosive in schaffer, healing in hornet
Appreciate it
@pseudo tundra
yeah, you are full of that resource
they're components, used to donate to control points and the weekly shd project
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?
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
is it better if I sell or dismantle items at lower level (24) currently?
50/50
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?
don't worry at all what you do right now
yeah, mats are much needed at lvl40 for Optimizing, Recalibration, Expertise and Projects.
Currency also has its place in the endgame content
get to endgame (lv40) and worry about them later
You apply mods in the inventory, selecting the gear piece and by pressing whatever key it is to Mod
got it.. so far I've been only able to change the skin
so i guess it's tied to level and rarity of the gear
i cant even use the april fools guns for my library? :(
nope, can't equip them
u dont have to equip for recal library so I was hoping
can u change talent on seasonal items (oh carol example)
no
bet
although, harvest is seasonal and talent is free to roll. so better answer is, it depends
bet
from what i understand it heals team mates
It provides up to 50% hazard protection to allies you shoot with it
yesterday I had 50 now again back to 0
from what i heard changing builds resets the eggs
hey chat
where can i acquire the decoy skill
@gray steppe Theo manhunt mission in wony .
ah
alright then
thanks
I showed them love and they showed man hate, these days, that is expected (real)
I have farmed so much stuff do only knee pads have the bewildered perk and if not if I have multiple equipment items with bewildered dose it stack damage or deal more?
Check the library
Ohhh ok ty
But do you know if multiple equipment with it stack or no?
isn't Bewildered from Turmoil or sum?
I cannot remember
yeah only from the turmoil kneepads
crap ok
talents usually only come on the chest and backpack
named items and exotics are the exceptions when it comes to gear
Ok so farm the names kneepad?
Named*
yeah, but no clue if they added it in the loot pool yet honestly. can try loot goblin
Yeah I tried him he dose not drop it he still drops Christmas stuff for me but thanks
well, from my perspective it'd be a holiday drop which would come from him. otherwise go for the Ceska target loot Icon looks like a hammer
Alright il try it thank yall
makes you look a lot cooler when its in hand
It's like, Pewww pewww pewwww pewwwwwwwwwwww
How did you get it? I saw it in Expertise tabs after a long break, and never heard of it, so I assume it was some event gun?
it was a summer event drop. can find your favorite place to make the hoarder (loot goblin) spawn and kill him log off, log on an find him hopefully in same area and do this on repeat until you get it or get all his loot he drops currently
currently probably Cooler, Chill out Mask, Snow machine knees, Sleigher Tommy gun hmmm, probably missing a piece here
I see will give it a shot, thanks
my favorite spot is DZ South enterance (huge door icon) you'll spawn in looking at the dz enterance so you turn left and walk forward there. if your minimap doesn't turn red then he didn't spawn. if he does spawn 2 places. parking lot close to you or you go north and he'll run towards you between 2 busses and bunch of other cars near the busses
another ez farm
I got it from hunter bunny (goblin) outside jefferson trade center
Farmed 20-21 times and had 6 of them
with tommy gun, and christmas backpack
Jefferson trade center 2 manholes
this 3 location. But most of them from manholes
question, what should i do with my 2nd st elmos? tinkerize it? or send it to my other character
I would either keep or deconstruct. Donβt donate exotics to proficiency because the component is too valuable
thyx
Could someone tell me what are the dz target loot today? Thanks
heartbreaker, lmgs, hunters furry
damn if only i wasnt soo weak even in empty dz...
rofl a chameleon from a priority mission then a st elmo' right after
@lunar trench Just copy a build from the spreadsheet that's π 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.
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.
thx, i appreciate it
Just get in there. Youβll be in the shd 0-500 bracket and itβll be mostly empty
Good opportunity to farm DZ gear
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.
What's this?
3d printer iirc. You can interact with it in haven to get a backpack trophy
I didn't know that. I need to go check that out π
whats the method for getting the eggs, just kill any enemies?
I farmed it
I watched this short and did the same thing, completed now. was stand in same place with pistol Kard-45 and finally it's done
Nice π
thanks for the advice
Now I got it, I was searching what kettle brother said
@hot ferry I think this ^ is probably the fastest method if you can keep the minitank from reaching full health - might need bullet king to avoid reload breaks
I have played the game for thousands of hours, and I didn't even know about this one π
btw I should ask this before I farm dz for another 7 hours, the perfect unhinged lmg still exists right?
Yes afaik
alright, thank you
It is the one called Black Friday
yeah
I spent 7 hours in dz west a couple days back when it was there
didn't even get it ONCE
now its in east and invaded, I'm gonna try for a second round
Good luck π€π
yo if anyone wants this you can join up and kill me, I don't mind
where would be the approriate place to post such a thing? (wanna know for the future, because I bet this aint it)
IRL? Or game? π
you can give it to someone unless they were already grouped with you when you got it
I said kill me
as in join lobby and steal my stuff
Mission?
no dz
my bad. read it too fast
No I mean are you in mission where you have to get killed?
no, I just have devils due
if someone wants it, they can join up and take it off me
honestly i feel it's a bait. "join my lobby i drop for you" as soon as you pick it up they kill you and take it back and keep up the facade of "i got devil's due to give away" XD
I already have one
it's like "hey i got a eagle bearer who wants?" you let them join you you drop the eagle bearer for them to pick up. while they're trying to pick it up you or your friend goes rogue and you just kill them as they're pretty defenseless XD and repeat it
I don't really do pvp
but it is cool of you to offer it though
not sure what part of this screams pvp build to you
Finally got this with priority objective
FYI: for those of you that lives in countdown
can confirm, works great
#ask-td2-community message much faster way Air and space is invaded this is the starting area. I'd use a BK and gunner.
Yeah I know right, little much time need but one brother above did much faster too
Yeah much faster have to find the machine too
Air and space invaded starting area. Not sure if it's a guaranteed spawn or if it's a chance but it's easy to start-pulse and see if you got it and just to kill everyone but the mini tank and operator.
Did anyone else not get the day 3 for the Easter project? Day 2s is still marked as completed but every other daily reset.
think mine showed double digit hours
like 12 hours, could be in 11 hours now
weird, the others all got new ones but not it
have you checked the easter project to see how long you have left for new project?
It just says "completed"
you should also see in there a cooldown timer
the other dailys have 17 hours left so they reset 6 hours ago
you see under New Project 9 hours?
Do you guys have any exotic weapon which is good for collect bad for use? If yes, What is it?
I feel like you are asking what is a good exotic farm for components, am I right?
Anyone else getting a texture bug on the L85 LSW LMG?
No I meant is, the weapon is bad but still exotic
So your asking what's a bad exotic weapon?
yes
Sacrum imperium
Chameleon π
Ruthless
Just don't know why you'd want this info, like what purpose does it serve?
I actually managed to get it working quite well (on challenging) while I was leveling its expertise π
Nah man just asking sorry if I bother you with my question
I must admit I am curious as well. It's rare that people ask what the worst exotic is, and not what the best is π
I've played most of the time with rifle it's called UIC15 MOD2
So I was excited with exotic rifle
And the worst is I don't like meciless at all (Personal opinion sorry if I made a mistake)
Don't have to apologize for opinions
I did share my opinion with AC shadow that I don't want to play. Some people put in hell, wanted me to die
yikes
After that I put a little apologize
Some people are just angry no matter what you do. Don't need to apologize for having an opinion π
So this yellow line mean highest stats right?
Don't worry about it, I just find it useless information and don't see how it could help. Also figured a translator might be screwing you over.
Yup π
Interesting thing is, marksman rifle 111% headshot damage
Marksman rifle 137 headshot damage
Weird isn't it?
This is because it is a "named" weapon. They have either a perfect stat, or a perfect talent π
White death named item stat.
Good afternoon guys. I have been playing with St Elmo and Iron Lung, which has been quite interesting. I needed to swap from St Elmo to Iron and I had picked up BlueScreen without knowing. WHAT A GUN!!!!
Hi Guys, returning player here. Trying to follow some community guide on building a Standard red DPS build. I don't have exotic weapons yet but found what seems to be a more or less good AR to start dealing some damage. I'd like your advice on what I should go for :
Target out of Cover or Change Ranger for another better talent ?
DTTOOC will net you more damage than any talent change and ranger isn't the worst thing to have.
Thanks a lot !
Yeah, Bluescreen is a great LMG π€© and it even looks cool as well π
Try that bad boy with ongoing directive, near limitless hollow points as it pretty much keeps it up indefinitely, just make sure you run the chest
True. Especially with the named LMG Carnage π
Sadist AR for burst, bluescreen for sustain
But most of the time I end up using Pestilence. DOT heaven, haha π
grr i want a pest>< rofl
you know i think i tried that once and wasn't too impressed so i swapped it out for something else, but now i'm curious π€
I always use Striker for speed. But OD with Pestilence when I want to have fun π
thanks for reminding me. i need to redo my striker on my main account
The bleed dot isn't great, and I think the amplified damage from OD won't boost pesti dot, only the bullet impact damage, so it's not the most synergistic combo
But fun is fun, so hey
2nd account i got a striker build with coyote's mask, turmoil knees and maining the chameleon. been pretty fun
i got a 4th st elmos in countdown gave it up to grp
how nice of you, imagine you gave it to someone and they crunched it for the component instead XD
Absolutely true. Pest only benefits from the weapon damage, and nothing else. But still highly effective when you get multiple Pest dots going on several targets π
i don't think Icetorrent cares about the synergy of it the build but having bleeding, vile and pesti dotting things to death is just a fun way of making it all happen
nah i asked if they needed it and they didnt have it yet
i would've told you i didn't have just so i can crunch it for component
if so its ok=P
i got me a heartbreak set for tech and hunter set for everything else
with memento and scorp
did 2 challenging countdowns was nice and clean
Before when I used to move from one skill mod item to another I used to get a glimpse what is increasing and what is getting low or what I'll lose to equip new skill mod item. But today I noticed It's not showing. is this happening to me only or everyone?
well, the first cluster one is just indicating a +1 to clusters mines or - 1 when you take out
the second one is just the health of your seeker mine
Make a bug report yo.
plus none of the mods you pictured shows any kind of "increase damage with this skill"
Yeah but the health of the skill would change and usually be displayed what the resulted change would be when going thru mods.
yeah just noticed that
I mean it's probably a bug but no one here can help you with that. You'd have to go to the ubi support server and open a bug report there.
nods a visual feature (bug)
I'm optimizing White Death, would you go for Damage to Armour, or Critical Hit Chance?
DTOC
Does that mean Critical Hit Chance, so no good at these acronyms.
DMG to Target Out of Cover
check the last pin
I wrote them down in there and it was for you and another guy in here lol
Sadly I do not have that option. Okay, will not upgrade for now.
Sorry Doomz, I'm a klutz.
dw, I also forget a lot
Hold my Beer!
crit chance in mmr's is like putting mag size in an LMG
I really will have to start farming for gear sets. I have such crappy gear it is laughable.
Hey at least I have Bunny Wabbit boots on.
I believe I am about to ask the most ID-10-TIC question of all time. How do I find 'Journey Missions'? I've gone over all the icons on the map, nothing there. Confused.
It's in the other menu with Priority Objectives and the Events timeline
Balls! I am stuck on a few of them. Thank you Agent Lia.
@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)
Ok i understand now ty
The thing is i dont have a lot time to play those days, yesterday i grab 65 eggs in 2h30 lol
#ask-td2-community message
Is probably the fastest way to farm them if you can maintain it successfully
Try to keep the minitank on low health so the controller doesn't stop repairing, and the tracks will pop back every couple of seconds
Secret to farm eggs to follow ||Use Tidal Basin and harvest the eggs from the big dude with the machine gun. Just shoot the belt that is on the gun that is on his right side||
Oh doing that took less than 20 minutes. As I was lucky to keep two alive after killing all the normal dudes.
i've seen people use the BT mini tank. destoy both treads
yeah, 2 weakpoints that get repaired super quickly
can someone tell me what is the weapon that says "Item Missing" .. I just hit 30
Specialization
How would I choose it?
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
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
so mats more valuable at this point yah?
yeah
bounties can give me some quick e-credits if I need it right?
yep
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?
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
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
was about to say you check this in here?
okay I'm getting it now
if you know where to find this in your platform you'll unlock the active and passive modifiers
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
activate the modifiers in order to achieve challenges from the seasonal
okay.. I'm rushing .. these things will unlock one by one as I complete the Journey steps.. I just don't see the full picture now until I progress further.. got it
I found the modifiers listings
the journey isn't step by step aside the 1-7 part
you only need to do 6 of the 8 to go from up
Anyone got suggestions on how to get materials quickly like carbon fiber? Or just keep doing countdown and disassemble stuff?
Finally learning the optimization game and it's used a lot of my stuff.
you can target certain factions for certain material types but by and large just get stuff and decontstruct.
you will keep maybe 1% of anything you loot bc RNG hates Division agents.
can i farm turmoil knee pads wasnt able to get on get a pair?
not afaik
a couple of questions.
- What is the limit rarity on gear to share with friends.
- What stuff in the game is account wide, i.e. when I make a new agent?
-
Sharing works as:
When in a group/party, you can share items with the group members within the next few hours. Doesn't qualify for subgroups. -
To share gear/loadouts with your other agents, you send them to the stash and pick them up in the other agent's stash. Anything that's not equipped can be sent to stash*.
Hey I'm trying to find a dev statement about the raid exotics in the dark zone not being affected by targeted loot but having an issue finding one because google is trash lately and all i can find is dudes on reddit saying it's unaffected but no source.
- is there a limitation on what type of item (rarity) you can share with a friend in a party?
- So gear is shared via stash account wide? how about mats and resources? are they account wide or per character?
Anything that drops has a 1 hour time limit to drop to people that were in your sessio nwhen it hit the ground. Some caches have sharable contents but i do not know exactly which ones and don't wanna give you bad info. I know the weekly shd req ones are sharable.
- Nope, even exotics can be shared as long as they're not equipped or modified.
- Currency (credits) are the only ones that are not shared. Everything else can be shared with all 4 characters.
it is unaffected
Thanks, i agree with you. I'm basically being hit with [citation needed] and would like to be able to prove it.
this generation I swear /j
I found this in the TU17 patch notes, nothing else mentioned, also found the reddit post you mentioned
There's a trello page that has the exotic drop rates on it too that I'm trying to find. π€
this?
Yeah i wanna find the page it's from in case there's an article it's attached to
is this bugged? I can't plant the 3rd crate because it's on fire?
But I'm an idiot and JUST remembered i can reverse google image search
That's from the tu16 patch notes and has nothing to do w/ eb/rav/bh unfortunately
they got mentioned in tu17 only, tu17.1 got deleted and don't know where to find it tho
I found a kvd video where he reads through the 17.1 patch notes so i guess i get to listen to him for 20 minutes
not the kvd vids
maybe, try to unalive yourself with a nade
Whatever i give up I'm just gonna let him continue only searching for it on targeted loot days
is this Potomac Relief Camp side mission bugged or what? It appears it is. I need to set 3 crates on fire.. I do.. and it still points to 3rd crate that's already burning..
I've restarted the mission and ran it twice.. same issue
nm.. it was pointing to a wrong crate.. figured it out
Can anyone confirm if Acostaβs knee pads can drop in the open world or Countdown? Iβve been farming Countdown a lot with target loot ( kneepads ) but havenβt had any luck so far.
Im getting superior gear, not high end from loot goblin with weak rolls and im on heroic. Is that normal ?
We do have rules about adverising, you can try asking for PVP advices or build advices in other channels
Yes.
@tough marsh concise. Thank u
Does any one know if the new kneepads are in the loot pool?
not that im aware of
They're not. Don't waste ur time trying to farm them. It was a one time gift item and it doesn't even let you recalibrate them or anything
it would have been nice to have one for each character
project gift, or stash gift in special delivery?
i was out of the loop for a bit and didnt even login during april fools
i dont even remember. they might have just been in your inventory that day but im not sure
gotcha , ill take a look
Is there any single item (exotic or otherwise) that can be slotted into a DPS build to give that build great survivability for solo?
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
Not a bad idea, thank you
??
"afaik" = "as far as I know"
Why is the scout week so easy to complete youβd think the objective would take longer or something since itβs a whole week each week
memento bag is calling your name
@warm root They used to be multiple weeks between each one.
Div2 has always been a "play it in the background" kinda game, be thankful. There's way too many live-service games that demand all your time.
is there a way to reroll The Harvest? or do i gotta keep farming them from the loot goblin till they drop with determined or dttooc?
you figured it out. keep looking
Who did this percentage? I mean Ubisoft or someone else?
I'm confused why is The Castle settlement greyed out for me? Does it unlock later? When I go there it says I found it but everyone's dead.
ubi probably, it may have been removed with tu17.1 patch notes too.
Yeah it's the official one
But they removed so that mean there is higher percentage they put in or lower? No other statemenet from them about it right?
TU17.1 patch notes were removed since the official discussion website got taken down.
That patch note was in there.
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
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?
Sounds like Bloodsucker
so the bars for armor are white by default.. when i was killing enemies the bars would fill up blue
is that a mod?
Backpack talent
Np
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?
Some talents give bonus armor as well but none of them work like Bloodsuckers - adding bonus armor as you kill enemies
got it
Actually, the Memento Exotic Backpack more or less work in the same way
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
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.
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.
Yes
It's stored in the library now
right.. so let's say i have now a superior back pack that i want to imprint it on
I go to Tinker?
Yes, then recalibration
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?
Yes
then I select transfer and it will imprint the new talent I selected right?
Yes
ok.. it makes sense now.. thank you
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.
yeah I get it.. I just don't want to get wrecked constantly.. so i just wanted to do this one
No probs
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?
It's a good time to start as long as it doesn't derail your progress
Basically yes
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
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
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
It doesn't show your equipped ones or those marked as favourite.
cool... awesome.. thank you for your patience and help
Np
I need to farm emperors guard kneepads whatβs the fastest and easiest way to get them I have a couple pairs but I need specific roles
is there a way to get the turmoil kneepads if i missed them by any chance? would it be possible if a group member dropped them or am i cooked?
@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'm pretty sure turmoil is in a lex situation rn
But yeah id wager if it comes back it'll be via the loot goblin
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.
Time to add Turmoil to my "take a shot" list
Yes fragile armor is sometimes broken
There is actually a fix re: Fragile Armour.
Is it.... Sturdy Armor?
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.
Interesting
It's either that or don't fast travel with it active, but I'm 70% sure it's the heal thing.
The don't fast travel part is disturbing
No fast travelling for me is like stairs to claptrap
How important it is to unlock those other 3 specialize weapon?
@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.
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?
Can max out everything except the weapon buffs, only 3 of those and some on the bottom right of the tree
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.
Minigun also isnβt useless, itβs really underrated. Itβs just unreliable since it takes so long to ready/stow
It's not so much "underrated" as it is "underpowered".
Plus it forces you out of cover and slows your movement down so rather risky on a red build
I guess compared to the other spec weapons yeah
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.
It's very niche.
I hate to say it, but the most useful one of the 6, has to be the Survivalist Crossbow.
and that's pure utility.
Tac 50 still reigns supreme
When you're at the top of your game and camping every spawn then it's worth using but otherwise no
What does it reign surpreme over?
Pizza
I mean it has the highest base dmg in the game, its the best thing to build headhunter stacks on
Compared to the flammenwaffen? Yeah I agree
The flamethrower takes 9 damn centuries to inflict burn
nemesis has a higher base.
No?
It in fact does not..
I'm looking at both of them now, lemme double-check
Nemesis uncharged deals very little damage
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.
Generally only need one or two bullets to get that hh bonus going tbf
The UI for spec weapons shows an incorrect base dmg number btw
Has been since release
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.
Used a lot in speedruns π
And only 0.1% of the community speedruns
Unfortunately
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?
π΅
@trim meadow I've given you the various ways to get the Spec Tree points, how long it takes is up to you.
is glass cannon worth it?
Yes if you're willing to learn the necessary positioning/awareness skills
I guess what I meant is it one of those things that's used in meta builds or not?
Yes it is
k
Meta players love Penguins Golf Club
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?
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
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
Skills only get hacked if hunters are around - mostly just countdown and summit floor 100
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? π
Yes
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.
got it.. I guess i'll try it at least once.. is it soloable?
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
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.
got it.. I just hit 39.. are gear drops better if you add difficulty modifiers?
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
Directives add more xp and more target loot drops.
Summit difficulty ranges from normal through to legendary.
got it
hey does anyone know the best way to get the lexington AR?
You cant at the moment
ah thats a shame
Does anyone think all agents in story or lore-basis have been given the name Sheriff as a call sign?
do directives boost the amount of target loot or the odds?
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.
Never done it before so it looks kinda scary but the Incursions are hard or hard
Incursion is easy
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
Only easy assuming you have a competent team with at least decent builds and knowledge of strats
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.
Each can be run on their own once per week for the boxes with higher chance, but any boss can drop so you can farm the bosses
Incursion i would say its similar to legendary
So even the Boomer can drop it? Or Weasel?
Oh
My first ouroboros was from the boss not the chest
Anyhow is mostly DPS and mechanic check
Can the Razorback and the Iron Horse itself / that woman Romaroza (forgot the name) drop it or no?
Competent people can clear it with no problem
Yes, DH bosses can drop eagle, IH bosses the ravenous
I know some of you thought Chill Out didn't drop out of season but yes, it will if rarely. Just now from the troll.
So technically 5 chances in total
4 small ones and one bigger chance
While the Easter event is active, the loot goblin drops all the seasonal stuff
I'm assuming Incursion is only 3 then? Or the love birds count as separate?
Love birds are 2
ah, good to know. explains Carol.
There is a big discussion about the tankee boss counting or not
All have 5 expected Incursion then? I like those odds. I'll try IH and Incursion next, wish me luck
@hard sorrel This isnt true. The bosses only have a fraction of a % chance to drop, like lotto numbers rare, and only your first run of the week per character. The box can be opened once per run as long as you have enough keys and has a 10% chance every time
The people that have run incursion thousands of times seem pretty convinced he doesn't drop it, which is good enough for me
Since hes a named enemy with the darker yellow life bar, but doesnt have the big giant named bar from raid encounter boss
I did say 4 small chances and one bigger with box tho
Moss (tanker boss) absolutely does not drop the ouro
you cant farm the bosses multiple times a week though
When you say FIRST run is it for all 3 modes or the FIRST for each one? That's what's confusing me. In 1 week can I get all 3 or I gotta choose?
Each one is independent from eachother
yes. when you open the raid menu to setup a group it will show you "X/4 bosses have raid loot", thats what it means. Each character has its own chance per week
Ok then still have a chance at Ouro and Ravenous
So far I like this exotic light machine gun
i got lucky. i only played the incursion threee times and got the ouro twice
ouro has a 1% chance to drop from wright or lovebirds every run
Lend me thy luck plz, imma try them later
i will light some incense about it
rav has the same drop mechanics as the EB
Thank you
This gun looks cool
its not bad. i wish the handling was a little better though
58 round mag. pretty nice
recoil/stability?
stability
its not horrible but its enough that i want to use an attachment slot for stablility when i could have chc on it
Hi guys! Is there any build/strategy that can solo 5 legendary hunters with them being 4-man hp at summit floor 100? I can easily solo 2-3 legendary hunters using riot grenade, but not 4 or 5, given that I want to carry new players with ~100 SHD level, using my all +28 weapons, skills and equipments.
full 100% disrupt resist tank setup w/ ballsitic shield technician and spray a hand gun?
The Oh Carol and Snow Machine give fun effects with the talent, are there any others that do the same?
I use an all red headshot build, 2 tap a hunter with the specialty sniper and then one tap the rest with head hunter
In which season pass I'll get all the special weapon unlock?
Special weapon unlock? Like a skin?
this 3
The weapons are not tied to a pass
I believe you just have to unlock and complete all those challenges, once your at 165 in one of the trees I believe you then get to use the weapon
The year 1 pass unlocks all 3 additional specialisation weapons instantly.
The field research grants exclusive skins for pass holders when completing the challenges tied to them.
So lazy to complete this one, poor to buy. Just asking π
Well I stand corrected, it's been a while since I've done it lmao
What's the best place to kill 2 enemies in one granade. Like if I have foam luncher still I've to find 2 enemies in one place
The 165 number is for the spec tree. You earn those spec points from projects, missions and shd levelling. You can only earn them for the active spec weapon.
They allow you to add additional bonuses like skill damage, repair, spec side arm, protection from elites, various weapon damage buffs.
The beginning of viewpoint museum on storymode. There's a cluster of enemies, more than 4 but it should still count?
Viewpoint museum not the other two
Can I abandoned a mission after starting?
Yes
How ? Just by leaving mission area?
you know how to reset mission?
Nah man, that's why
Open map, go to mission options, pick a difficulty (even the one you're already on) and it'll reset the mission
It's showing me I've to do the mission
It'll also reset skill cooldowns, helpfully
You can just fast travel away and start up another mission
You can also down yourself with a grenade or something to reset from the last checkpoint
You guys are genius, start everytime story mode, leave the mission area fast travel to white house for granede. Applied skill build for foam luncher.
Complete
Wow
Perfect! Glad it's done.
If you have other questions ask here, I'm sure someone will have the answers you need
Yes I've one, There was a mission where in the end maybe. 3 body builder strong guy came. 1 is boss and other 2 by his side. It's hard to kill him there have 4 mounted machine guy in that level. I forget which mission was that.
But I died too too many time to complete that. He was so strong. Wanted to try with new build and skill.
And beginning before he enter all the electricity went off and they arrive. There have a bar in the middle.
Sounds like Wall Street
Yes Yes, Finally. This guy killed me lots of time lots
Lmao which guy
Dragov I assume
James Dragov, I had no build. I had no idea what is build. I used to use any brand anything which give me more damage or more health
If I saw I got more armor and health with this mask I used to hit space button like a madman to equip that item
It happens, we all started there
The build crafting is so much fun in this game once you understand it
Designing a christmas build as we speak lmao
I still don't Kettle told me there is spreadsheet and I just copy paste from them π
Get some good builds going, a great tank, healer and DPS build, lets you do any content in the game. Get extra good pieces and you'll be crafting your own unique builds
I love this kind of apocalyptic game so much the vegetation the mother of nature taking over is so fascinating for me. Like I create all art based on apocalypse and Spaces
See π
And that's why I've never focused on build or anything like library, expertise, resourse, jounrey mission, priority objective, bosses, bounties nothing. Just admire the environment. And then slowly @nimble spruce and more people from this community helped me to understand this game.
Thank you everyone for the help and kindness
Most of the community is great and you'll find some bad apples but people will always help new and returning players
iβm the baddest apple grrrrrr
So you're the one Evil queen used to poison Snow White?
Is the kickback bad?
What is Kickback?
When you shoot does the aim stay on target or does it gravitate upward as you are shooting
aim stay on target
π€π»
@warm root In div2, the term for that is "Stability", and it's an actual stat that you can modify.
Weapon Handling in particular, as 1% of it gives 1% of each of 4 stats. (Stability/Reload/Swap/Accuracy(reticule bloom)).
How to change region in division 2? I think Asia is causing me to find less people in matchmake
My scavenge directive is stuck on in the summit, anyone else having this issue?
This is really a question for #td2-build-advice , but yes. Those three green pieces are only giving you a core stat and one minor stat. If you used high-end pieces you'd get an extra three minor stats, three brand bonuses, and a chest talent.
Yes - it's mixed up with special ammo (not just in the summit, in the open world too), you have to turn them both off.
I'll do that, thank you so much!
I was having the same issue last night, fragile armor doesn't repair a broken segment every time as well.
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.
there's still a short cutscene when you enter the area to fight Sparkles in the Stovepipe manhunt
Where do I turn off the modifiers? I don't care for the rage mechanic
Inventory, at the top in the middle.
activate/deacvtivate will be at the bottom of the new view.
Ty!
can anyone tell me why i only got the lullaby and its blueprint but not the ruthless?
And no it is not in my mailbox/grant section
so im starting to level my expertise...gonna start with ARs, what's a good point to move onto the next category for weapons? im 7/48 with ARs currently
Does anyone know why my 16,000,000 damage only breaks armor?
Can it be penetrated by some means?
you can hit it for 200m and it still wont kill unless you do it again
π
determined moment
Did you check if itβs on any of your alternate characters?
Even your alt mailboxes? Idk if youβre trying to do the βthingβ I just know how weird it is sometimes with those when you make a new character
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
maybe the watch mule leveling for them extra materials
oh i have mules but its not on any of them
hopefully you didn't do something like pull the weapon on a mule, deleted it with the weapon in the inventory
it hasnt shown up at all to pull it
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 βthingβ
omg it worked bro β€οΈ
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 βgearscoreβ?
at 40 gearscore goes poof. now you're just getting level 40 gear
Ah ok thanks
just look at the stats bar, full means good, low means bad
LADIES N GENTLEMEN, WE GOT EM (sorry for caps)
Now backpack
why would i need a backpack, i have a airaldi backpack, and habsburg mask
Ew wtf are you running
Nice one. I got trolled by the game earlier, Habsburg chest with chc, chd and hh
damn bro i tried for that chestplate for agesss man
yea took me like 750+crafts maybe?
i too have succumb to this fate
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
u still attemping it?
i know u said u gave up like after 300 a week ago or smth
Nah I crafted a couple of hundred several months ago then decided it wasn't worth the effort
It's not really big though, would make very minor difference to my build at best
ikr, this will at most give me 1.5mil dmg
@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
thank ya, wasn't exactly sure since all they said. demo firefly and getting 50 eggs the wiping and repeat
you can let them stack up
oh yeah definitely. done that with the mini tanks or the chunga with the belts
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
another video "bunker kill the rushers, die and repeat"
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
fastest way to get the eggs is the black tusk heavy gunner's ammo belt to his gun
that one feels slower to me honestly, unless you're lucky getting 2 of them and you just go back and forth between the 2
time flys when you're having fun!
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
nope its pathway park demo firefly spam
i jus did it in like 13 minutes
Itβs compton. Trust π
is there a skill that one shots warhounds or such?
not that i know of, but there's an EMP sticky that just hitting them disables them for a period of time
meh, so going determined isnt gonna work out against black tusk?
or is there a workaround
nemesis sniper
it does like a mil and a half
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
maybe if i have HH stacks
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
thats not what i ment
so you charge nemesis shot to get a free 1 tap to build some hh
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?
that seems like a very unlikely scenario to occur
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
how many other ads were there?
did they spawn in with them or after the ads were cleared
well if they did spawn with them you can probably human to dog them
double ad then dog rinse repeat
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
yeah but the point is to not end up in that situation in the first place if your running hh
i wouldnt've ended up if the dogs moved from their spawning point
but they stayed there unnoticed
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
smart
what difficulty are you on? i might be keen on testing
headhunter
you are just forced to drop stacks on them
if you don't crit you lose 90% of your damage by hitting legs, and if you hit elsewhere you're hitting their armor plate
headhunter bypasses this damage reduction
if you emp
and if you're out of hh you're just SOL
and if you can get super close to it you can stuff your shotgun into its body and hit it for straight health
yep ye old clipping tech
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
i considered booting the game to do it but idgaf just trust me
nah do it for the average player β€οΈ
maybe if the below average player was asking
i'm below average
no you seem kinda average
did you just assume my skill level
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
how many exo components are spent for a max expertise weapon?
camp white oak?
BT public execution?
is that normal difficulty i see?
itll work the same in higher difficulties
just have to shoot like 2 or 3 times instead
idgaf so im doing testing on normal
When making an exotic blueprint is the damage lower than you would find if you found an exotic during countdown?
no
@dry pond you see the numbers below the expertise level? like i'm 11 and 48/200
Oh, I see.
So getting to a higher proficiencyt with mutliple gear sets/brands and such will increase the expertise?
And with every expertise level I can upgrade my gear once? Like when I reach expertise 1, will I be able to upgrade all my gear one time or only one piece?
you got it
think current max is 28
Thanks dawg, I was confused AF but you cleared it up real nice.
one more picture i should've taken
Picture of what?
all armor upgrades you do in expertise is only upgrade that base armor in white under the name of the gear
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
did you try going back to the lobby?
yup
also the floor 10 farming is a very specific way to farm just items
not for XP
just kills the boss and restart
yeah ik, im farming for ARs currently
wait you mean, kill only the boss and then just go back to lobby?
well now just go to floor 20 and try again
yeah
it's on paper better to farm specific items at very high difficulty
Damn that's pretty good actually. Always welcome more armor xD
What about weapons? What gets upgraded when u upgrade a weapon?
weapon base damage
basically dont complete the floor, just kill the boss then go back to lobby
yeah, wouldnt really reccomend doing it unless you are farming stuff at legendary for better rolls or exotic rates
i still get good stuff on challenging, just what you said, the rates are just a bit lower than if it was legend
in PVE content that amount of armor does jack for you
pvp might give you tiny edge
i don't upgrade my armor for that sole reason
That makes sense, so its only really used to upgrade weapons in PvE?
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
i think some skills might get a relevant boost
Okay cool. I think I have a clear picture of the expertise system now. Thanks for all your help @bold tiger
you're welcome
like i said i hope someone more in the know of the expertise armor part can give a definite don't add to it or do add to it for upgrades
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.
nods devs just gave us another avenue of prolonging their game for us gamers
Is it another 100 eggs today? π₯²
probably
should be 50 in my opinion, would be less tedious
The best way to look at the Expertise system is the Devs wanted to encourage the use of every Weapon (normal, Named, Exotic, Spec), Gear piece (normal, Named, Set) and Skill variants. In reality there are weapons, gear and skills that are simply not fun to use, that's where donating them and components is key.
I made a quick clip to show the farm method I've been using on pathway. It's very easy. 5 eggs every 20 seconds.
nice nice, thanks!
nice im goin for it
@charred shore
I will send you the image via dm
does playing on challenging/heroic change the blueprints you get for control points?
don't think so, just normal and hard you have to do 1-2 activites tied to it to increase it to 3 or 4
Can I earn specialization points with another specialization equipped? π€
ok thanks
IM SORRY SIMO HΓYA HAS A SNIPER IN THR GAME?????
only way to get them points for the specializations
dang i wasnt expecting such big booms
Do I have to equip the specialization that I want to earn points for?
yes IE: you haven't played as a technician. equip technician go out do things and get points to spend upto 165 max
I see.. thank you
@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.
Bounty, projects and weekly invaded missions. Got it, thanks!
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.
was going to comment thinking the specialization unlocking projects gave some to, but think it was only from leveling in general
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.
same here, i even gotten them preunlocked with them being in the year 1 pass i think?
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
Damage to Elites, ah DtE.
Is kenly exp farm gonna be a thing when it comes out again?
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
Exploits, once patched, rarely ever comes back, so no.
is that what they were asking about?
was assuming they wanted to know about the event
@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.
well i kinda was askin but unsure how kenly works or what the event is for
The event is just "get some extra xp for doing kenly".
IIRC the last time I checked, it was only 15 SHD levels.
ah okay
do you remember when we had the 5x xp. was that 1k levels?
did it not get patched, the exploit part?
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.
Short answer, yes
also has a guide π
If someone upstairs does tell us to pass it on to y'all, you can bet we'll do so.
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
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.
huh, i know most things that goes public gets patched and sometimes a lot of people get rolled back
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.
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
There are no exploits only features 
Emphasis on the "not many" part.
the endless oxidizer thing at the pentco bounty or whatever it was. that ruined the game for me for at least a week
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
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.
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? Iβm afraid to test it, just lvl 15 atm so not many mods available
You can purchase back the items you sold (in a certain period of time iirc), don't worry
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 β€οΈ
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?
From the manholes?
Not sure Pengi, I was just walking about and this dude came sprinting out of nowhere like Usain Bolt.
Never been this edged with a god roll before lol, dropped on Challenging as well
Did he attack you, or was he carrying a backpack and dropped some shiny loot?
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.
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
Cool, are there quite a few of them?
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
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.
Which skills are you guys playing for solo?
Me?
