[shut bloom]

also what are these

[nimble spruce]

There's a shd cache there, which leads people to find it. No other purpose though afaik

[nimble spruce]

The trophy icon is used to mark a time trial, but the last one was months ago so shouldn't be appearing again, it seems to be an occasional bug

[graceful carbon]

how do u check what targeting loot day it is

[nimble spruce]

Open in-game map and hit the 'show target loot' button

[graceful carbon]

is the summit or countdown better for loot and exotics, please n thank u

[nimble spruce]

Countdown has far more drops on average. Summit occasionally better but only for very specific things like Bighorn.
You don't actually need to tag me with every question, lots of helpful people here can answer you.

[muted lance]

how to get new skill PTS

[bold tiger]

the exotic caches! 👀

or is that already normal for journey completion?

oh my, streamline on rifle?

[weak moss]

They won't they will make it unable to play like the crew

[nimble spruce]

Loads of stuff including character saves is all stored server side, to give it offline mode they'd have to significantly rebuild how it works, so probably will never happen

[weak moss]

I just don't understand why though. I've played other looter shooters and division is the only one that requires online to play

Etc the most notorious one bl2

[graceful carbon]

how do you get the big horn?

[bold tiger]

you know i wasn't a fan of the LMG exotic Pakhan but i'm actually digging it

[nimble spruce]

5% drop chance from legendary named bosses.
Also a tiny tiny chance in DZ. Not affected by target loot in either case.

[cedar yacht]

Yeah its really good since its an rpk

[weak moss]

I hope this is true because if it is I truly got everything for 5$

[cedar yacht]

Well you didnt

I dont think they updated it if you previously bought it

[nimble spruce]

It's not, they're releasing an updated ultimate edition with the new dlc and updated price at some point soon, anything before then won't have bfb

[weak moss]

Ok

How does it work if I already own the ultimate edition?

[nimble spruce]

You'll have to buy the new dlc as a standalone pack

[weak moss]

Ok

[trim meadow]

So same as crew like skyscraper said. It's sad honestly.

[warm pawn]

how can i install the pts (fyi im already on pc)

[mild zealot]

so i got the oxpecker from the BP but no blueprints for some reason; any reason why?

[sudden matrix]

#1365341873434001418 message

[quick folio]

are they getting rid of shd watch points on mules or something?

[sudden matrix]

Yes. It's becoming a pool.

[quick folio]

wym a pool

if ihave a 2k shd character, and make another 2k, is that 2+2 or 4k total

or just 2k overall

[sudden matrix]

A pool is typically a shared lot of a thing.

So think of it as one number shared across all characters that only goes up when you level up and gain a slavage point.

How the initial pool will be determined idk as of yet.

[quick folio]

in other words it wont matter how much mules i make?

i dont get it

if they kill mules literally killing the game

[sudden matrix]

Bro mules is by far the worst thing for this game and if any system was ever in a game like this that's just bad.

[quick folio]

we agree to disagree

u probably a shd 20k or sum shi, to be saying that

illd like to see you struggle from beggining

[sudden matrix]

Ah yes a perfect justification good talk right.

[quick folio]

ikr

[wispy merlin]

he's not even 20k

[sudden matrix]

They should just leave every game breaking bug in at this point. Free resources with little effort isn't bad and causes people to not actually play the game.

Why have resource systems and rewards when you can just mule right.

[quick folio]

then hes 'sum shi'

[wispy merlin]

that sounds kinda chinese

[quick folio]

xD

[sudden matrix]

Would be funny if they also remove the over capped resources in that update too.

[quick folio]

LMAO

[mellow trout]

Screw it just break kenly spawns again

[sudden matrix]

Imagine making spawns with a 5 second cooldown then you'd never have to "fix" spawns again.

[mellow trout]

Preposterous

[weak moss]

Scavenging points are getting a nerf you don't get anymore for making a new character anymore because of the boost of battle of Brooklyn. Expertise now gonna take for ever

[wooden void]

Havent played for like 3 years but slowly getting back into it. Any nice Clans taking new ppl?

[heady veldt]

can you tell me what Tier 100 means here ?

[odd condor]

you completed all 100 tiers of the season pass, congrats

[heady veldt]

oh I didn't even notice.. i thought I still had ways to go lol duh

[sharp osprey]

Ironically they pretty much have left all the game breaking bugs in.

[trim meadow]

Why? Can anyone tell me, I'm facing a huge FPS drop with my 3070. It's go down to 20 middle of mission.

[tame elbow]

How can I pull skills off exotic gear??

[nimble spruce]

You can't, exotics have unique talents, that's what makes them exotic.

[tame elbow]

Im saying like the weapon damage boost or armor boost off of it?

The attribute. Not the core one

[bold tiger]

again, exotics can't have anything on it pulled off of it and put in the library
weapons you can change the 3rd attribute but that's it

[nimble spruce]

You can't extract from exotics to your recal table, if you don't want the exotic it's better to deconstruct it anyway

[zealous matrix]

best place to get water?

[mellow trout]

The tap id presume

[nimble spruce]

West Potomac park, travel to Lincoln memorial and head directly east

[dawn burrow]

Did they just add this now I never seen this before

[bold tiger]

@sharp osprey here's the ubisoft connect showing preorder but all i could do was put it on my wishlist

also the ubisoft + and ultimate on Ubisoft connect shows this

[sharp osprey]

I looked on the Ubisoft connect app on my phone and can’t find anything. The app is being discontinued in the beginning of May .

[versed yoke]

hello if i buy season pass i want included same dlc for Devision 2 ?

[foggy field]

Season pass is it's own thing. You don't get either of the DLCs with it

[versed yoke]

@foggy field What doing season pass?

[foggy field]

If you mean What is in the season pass, cosmetics, extra caches, and premium currency

and a boost for season XP

[bold tiger]

if you're on PC you hit esc, click on the season name(usually on the right side of that menu) you'll be brought up a screen of goodies
season pass will just let you get extra goodies in that screen
for instance level 99 you get an exotic cache, you go season pass you get an extra exotic cache at 99

[narrow kraken]

Is it worth it to buy the ultimate edition on ps5 considering i already have wony and season pass?

[bold tiger]

just so you can preorder brooklyn for a higher price?

[narrow kraken]

so when it will be launched it will be cheaper

[nimble spruce]

No, just wait and buy the dlc alone

[bold tiger]

like if you bought now you're rebuying the base game, WONY and BFB when it releases with cosmetics and premium credits at 70 USD

[narrow kraken]

yea , im gonna wait

tx

[bold tiger]

when you wait, you can buy the bfb base at 15 usd and forget what they called the other version but you're getting cosmetics at 25usd i think it was?

[open mountain]

omg does steam finally get pts

[bold tiger]

yes

[open mountain]

finally ive been waiting for so long

[bold tiger]

probably why people had issues with div 2 on steam earlier

btw: expertised smart cover doesn't show what we'd get upgrading it :/

[nimble spruce]

Increased skill health probably

[bold tiger]

probably top, 2nd i could see duration maybe?

[heady veldt]

in new york I shot these 2 fuse boxes but can't find what it opened.. I heard the metalic door like noise.. anyone know if this is anything for secret questlines or just a simple secret loot box? it's in battery park.

it just bugs me 🙂

[nimble spruce]

Probably part of one of the hunter puzzles

[foggy field]

Can you throw up a pic of the map, I might be able to help

[heady veldt]

it reset now you can see the boxes I'm talking about

[foggy field]

Checked it out, No idea

[heady veldt]

all good.. I'll figure it out.. just thought someone knew it from the top of their head

[amber snow]

did devs elaborate how scavenger points will carry over into next season? like if i went and made 3 mules rn would all those points combine into next season?

[foggy field]

No, it takes whatever your cap point is and resets it to that. And all characters are drawing from the same pool of points instead of having their own

so if you were level 1000 it would reset you to200

[heady veldt]

chameleon has such great perks on paper but it's soo inconsistent and handling is so bad .. I wanted to like it so much.. that 90% damage boost is noticeable when it kicks in

[sour mortar]

this is new? huntsman famas? @bold tiger

[heady veldt]

i've been farming priority objectives now with it and there's no comparison to St. Elmos.. I could probably try to make a build with weapon handling and more ammo. 50 rounds is just not enough and it has noticeable reload slowdown compared to Elmos.. but if I could get stability and range and reload improved with maybe 65 rounds or so in the mag.. it could be great

[sour mortar]

brutus to?

[foggy field]

Brutus isn't newIt's the perfect from behind mmr

Huntsman might be, give me a sec

[sour mortar]

mmm

[foggy field]

It's new. It's probably something they left in from testing or it's one of the holiday event items. This has happened before with previous PTS

[sour mortar]

this isnt correct?

[foggy field]

That's about 2 years old at this point. Next time the loot goblin has santa hats on shoot them for a chance for them to drop

[sour mortar]

i missed that one then lol

tbh i barely play around christmas time

[faint crypt]

They are all available named items

[faint crypt]

You should play more.

[wooden void]

Is their any benifit to starting new if i havent played in years?

[spiral holly]

Hey I just got the nemesis, but i don't have it crafted just some of the parts. Is that normal?

[slim elk]

blueprint + 1 piece is enough to get it to drop in the general loot pool

[tough marsh]

Originally the loot crates are behind the shutters. It was intended that if you shot the power box the shutters would open so you can get to the crates, but the developers weren't able to fix the shutters and they ended up placing the crates outside. Now when you shoot the power box you hear the shutters opening audio but it remains closed.

[next inlet]

Ummmm… is this a bug?

[pseudo tundra]

Prob just a visual one

[junior sequoia]

Plus: you lose any weapon talent when you swap between the other weapon.

[junior sequoia]

Let me guess, you were using bighorn before you took the screenshot?

[spiral holly]

Thank you

[mellow trout]

Yes

[heady veldt]

indeed.. I have habit to use an LMG from a longer range to mow down enemies and with chameleon I just can't if I want to keep the buffs. 😦

am I crazy to prefer Striker backback instead of Memento? from damage side, backpack compensates for mementos damage. I'm aware memento also buffs armor and stuff but I feel like it takes a bit too long to ramp up memento fully collecting all the trophies. Striker backpack basically bumps the damage of striker so once procc-ed nothing else to think about. Am I wrong or missing something?

does memento apply the buffs for each trophy picked up or kicks in only at max?

[neon heart]

You get a buff per trophy, they both have merits but if you are running and gunning Memento will keep you in the fight a lot longer

[graceful carbon]

do exotics stay the same damage no matter what? as in multiple copies will all be the same damage?

[slim elk]

yes

[vernal prairie]

no more shd points on twin chars, smh

[bold tiger]

you know this could've been a fun combo with alphabridge

[foggy field]

Does that work?

[bold tiger]

no oddly enough

@foggy field this with first sight oddly enough with no HSD on gear i'm netting 1.4 million shots at some point

[foggy field]

nice

[quasi fiber]

How is your catharsis like that

[foggy field]

Lucvky shot also doesn't work with tinkerer

[bold tiger]

it does, just you have to miss

used 1886 with both lucky shot and boomerrang
i started wtih 8 mag, lucky shot pushes it to 9, i missed like 3-4 shots on purpose never losing a bullet

until the 4th ish shot then it started to decrease
boomerrang definitely doesn't work

crit hits and i was still losing bullets, but then again 50% chance i have bad rng i'm guessing

[foggy field]

It doesn't I tested it earlier. The talent shows up red

hmm, maybe it doesn't like lucky shot and determined

[bold tiger]

might be the bullet returning mecahnic doesn't take effect with the mask for some odd reason

[foggy field]

I don't evem get the bonus ammo

[shut bloom]

what is this circle around the crosshair

[foggy field]

why is that red?

[shut bloom]

i have no clue what is this, im new

[foggy field]

they have season modifirers. You can turn them on or off from your inventory. It's the thing next to your specialization weapon

[shut bloom]

ohh, what does this modifier exactly do, i run Overdrive

[foggy field]

the current one makes your weapon deal more damage, higher rate of fire, movement speed. and a few other things

[karmic hawk]

That's last season's modifiers - it's the range indicator

[foggy field]

The one from your pick gave you bonus damage based on distance from target

[bold tiger]

btw:streamline works with deployed skills 👀

[foggy field]

Makes sense. Is there an extra delay on on streamlined coming back? or can I whip out a shield, holster the shield than have streamlined back after one sec?

[bold tiger]

think delay is the skill being on cool down. used a repair drone

considering deploying a shield and putting it away it's an instant cool down so can't get the damage while the skill is doing the 1 sec cooldown

know of any easy good to use video recording software?

[civic lily]

obs

[bold tiger]

obsproject?

[civic lily]

yes

[bold tiger]

thanks. going to see if i can catch anything on it with the shield bit. can't be really sure if that damage drops when the shield is put back in place after deploying it drops my damage

[heady veldt]

those are some very nice numbers 🙂

is that all rifle?

[bold tiger]

1886 with normal streamline is even more impressive

[heady veldt]

I'm curious.. why 1886? I see a lot of people using it for rifle builds. What makes it the go to?

[foggy field]

Damage similar to most MMRs without any of the drawbacks

[bold tiger]

so @foggy field damage drops significantly when you put shield away with streamline

should i dm you the video?

[foggy field]

Na, I'm planning on testing it out in a bit, just need to hunt down the peices for my old raid build

thanks anyway

[bold tiger]

or would it be safe to post here seeing if people see a decrease?

[civic lily]

what's the worst that can happen

[bold tiger]

that 200 is the span of putting shield away

@heady veldt streamlined crit 1886

shame i can't test things with streamline 😢

[heady veldt]

the 20 mill.. damage hits I saw in some runs on YT .. they are mostly marksman or rifles like 1886 can reach those numbers too?

[foggy field]

Yes

https://mxswat.github.io/mx-division-builds/#/KwDgtALGAMYIxgMwxbNqNoFwQGwYWTjmXXQCZNUtcBOJSeB2+sqt6LYeiBKBDu3ZceKAUMFks5fsn4SF2EnPjFF1EpSgRg8GXvxxyuowHZhkxVk6Wpt1EA

I hit 20-21 mil with this regularly without the season mod on. Results may vary depending on your weapons expertise

that's 20-21 mil without a crit

[heady veldt]

wild.. bookmarked 🙂

I need to get a setup to pop those zombies 🙂

@foggy field so I see you are running 1886 in both slots..I'm guessing you are using high-end 1886 since the thing that makes sense is Determined so you can chain guaranteed headshots right? Is Dimondback just candy?

[foggy field]

no

I use it to pop the helmets on named chungas enemies

or if it's a named lmg guy so I can drop them in 2-3 shots

also sometimes I just feel like going for headshots so diamond back is good for that

[heady veldt]

got it

i was farming some heroic control points earlier today and I had some folks join in and one of them was running rifle build.. I have to say, he was popping them all in one shot.. I gotta make me this build.. looked super fun.

[foggy field]

For group play I tend to run something more like this

https://mxswat.github.io/mx-division-builds/#/CwTgtMYAxgjGBmayape1AuAbEgTBHInMPGuRippAZPEiOBcxtQByExmUvPXiQuPYX2DZORXiKogArNN6Y82cV1gFYbcLBBcQ8HQT55gSWPNULomWJink7VqEA

Each extra person in the group adds an extra 30% to enemies health so to make sure I can one tap everyone MMRs start mattering

[heady veldt]

I see.. and Elmos is just for clean up in possible close quarters scenario right?

[foggy field]

yep. Scorpio might work better but I prefer ARs

[heady veldt]

on white death build I don't see determined?

[foggy field]

You would use Determined with it. I must've missed that when I was making it

[heady veldt]

I figured.. thanks

@foggy field let me ask you this.. how much of a drop off in damage is if I don't use White death.. let's say I really like SR-1 and how it handles.. a normal high-end one .. I'm guessing headshot % between white death and SR-1 even if I get a max roll of 111% headshot vs 137% or whatever they are exactly is probably noticable.

[foggy field]

Let me test that rule quick. II know the Model 700 is almost identical to the white death damage wise

[heady veldt]

not a big deal if it's a bother.. I was just wondering since you use rifles/marksman rifles probably quite a bit.. I am yet to actually make a good rifle build to get the feel for it.

[foggy field]

I'm in the PTS just testing stuff, no bother in the least

[bold tiger]

probably much easier in there to test things eh? XD

[foggy field]

29.7m for the SR-1, 32.6m for White death. Both are expertised to 30

[bold tiger]

i'm trying to decide best thing for first sight + alphabridge combo

[heady veldt]

oh great.. I guess close enough..I can live with that

to be fair, I haven't played with white death at all.. so it might be ok to use.. I just know from the moment I started playing I had some affinity to specific guns and how they handle for me personally.. Like Stoner, P90 and SR-1

[foggy field]

Yep. stuff like this is why I wish the PTS would stay up year round

[foggy field]

First sight works with tinkerer?

[bold tiger]

yes, so does lexington

[heady veldt]

tinkerer talent looks SICK

I cannot wait

[foggy field]

hmm, I guess they meant only named talents than. Which means the white death probably works with it too

[heady veldt]

it does.. I literally just watched a couple of videos that tested it

apparently named weapons without perfect talents works

is tinkerer coming out end of the season right? form what I understand once the final mission for the manhunt is revealed that's when it will become available .. did I misunderstand that?

[foggy field]

That's correct. They confirmed it in the Q&A at the end of the live stream

[heady veldt]

I really glanced at the stream beacuse I was working and slack-ing and on the phones.. so I probably missed half the stuff they said

@bold tiger there was another stream today right? What was that stream about again? I think you told me.

[bold tiger]

think the stuff you guys just talked about along with what's in the pts, i didn't watch. was too busy murdering with tinkerer mask

[heady veldt]

how long does PTS usually last?

[bold tiger]

they got this one going until monday

[heady veldt]

that's actually cool.. Diablo 4 one runs for about 7-10 days but it's awesome Div 2 has it too.

I'm guessing you have "cheats" too on PTS right? so you can get whatever you want?

[bold tiger]

they used to run it 2 times. first time just to get our feedback on the talents/gears/weapons/exotics

2nd time they alter things and reaquire our feedback on those changes

nah i wouldn't say that whistles

[heady veldt]

I mean in Diablo 4 we have this cheat goblin you can get all exotics from and all that stuff.. but I see.. that's the vendor basically.. I'm guessing Indya?

anyways.. it's cool PTS exists

[bold tiger]

no whoever that guy is

[heady veldt]

got it

[next inlet]

What Hunters are immune to Riot Foam? I know the Ghost Hunter is, he just runs away and despawns himself when I try to hit him with it.

[cedar edge]

I wish TD2 did not crash so frequently at the most inopportune moments. Just as a hoarder runs into me the game crashes. Was trying for ages to get one to appear. 😦

[somber fjord]

Aren't they spawning more frequently atm? I've come across 5 in the past 2 hours

[cedar edge]

I am unlucky I guess, also reasonably new to the game, about a month in.

[warm pawn]

which white death should i keep? (click on the photos to see all the stats)

[hard blaze]

none tbh lol theyre both shit

[cedar edge]

The middle one.

[warm pawn]

what 💀

[hard blaze]

you need at least 3/4 correct rolls, you want DTTOOC on the Attribute, or Determined on the Talent

and those 5% rolls? Yeah no, get a new one

[warm pawn]

damn, alright

[silk dust]

YKnow how we can like replay Manhunt missions? Why couldn't I replay the Vanguard manhunt when im in either NYC or DC like... HUH

I did not know that

ill try thanks

[worldly fjord]

Legacy manhunt menu is very buggy. Often times you just gotta manually start the missions yourself

Teleport to the mission and hold G on the screen to toggle

[silk dust]

thanks

[wise rivet]

Is the DZ worth getting into ?

[worldly fjord]

Not in my opinion. Everything you can get there can also drop in pve

Yhaal and system corruption aren't used in pve either
(Maybe yhaal a bit)

Is it yhaal or yaahl i forgot

[tulip fiber]

Yaahl

[junior bison]

getting around to cleaning up old inventory that i had on a mule... are these exotics worth using anymore or decon them?

[odd condor]

Pestilence got buffed a lot recently, pick and keep the best one

also pick a best Bullet King and keep that one, deconstruct the others

[junior bison]

I already have all exotics on my other 3 characters. I forgot I had about 50 exotics stored on an old mule character. I have way too much stuff so I wasn’t sure what the best thing to do with this old stuff.

[worldly fjord]

Keep the one with the best stats and deconstruct the dupes

3 typos in 11 words, nre record...

[junior bison]

Lmao

[worldly fjord]

Ah screw this 😂

[tulip fiber]

New* Lol.

[worldly fjord]

Yeah i just gave up

[mild zealot]

ok so i can't craft the regulus because i need a specific replica of the magnum 686, is Massive trying to take the piss out of players?

[hard blaze]

You can probably just craft it lol, if you have the blueprint? I think thats what I did

[mild zealot]

no i get it but like why this specific variant? i haven't got the replica blueprint yet but i already have the regular magnum 686 and yet it cannot be crafted with that gun... i'm sorry but who approved of this game design?

[pseudo tundra]

most people at that point had scrapped all blueprints ages ago, so it's certainly a bit clunky now

but it's not hard to get the replica blueprint since it's just a CP blueprint

[mild zealot]

listen i get exclusivity as the next guy but i don't like grinding Control Points for hours just to get this blueprint variant, at the chance that my RNG is garbage

[pseudo tundra]

well as i said before it was mostly that it tends to be one of the things people tend to have done first over later, it can create odd situations

but since blueprints are one and done you will get it

[mellow trout]

You can grind summit instead

[wooden void]

is it normally to wait like 20mins for a matchmaking to hard stuff? was trying todo the zoo last night lol

[pseudo tundra]

hard difficulty? not very popular

most people migrated to challenging or heroic

you can use "call of backup" in this case

[wooden void]

aww ok thx. im havent played in years so just getting back into it

[cedar edge]

Is there something wrong with Oiled Hammer Guards? I have gained 2x ornate/inverted leather holster (4 in total) but cannot gain the oiled one?

I have donated Ornate and Inverted holsters, but have now been given them another two times.

[kind cave]

how do you use the lvl boost? ubi website says from the main menu but I don't have the option to select it

[foggy field]

When you're making a character you can either start in DC or NY. If you start in NY your character will start at 30

[foggy field]

If it's the first time you're doing this it's a guaranteed drop from a level 4 outcast control point. But if you've already done the project it's just RNG

[worldly fjord]

Go to shop > add-ons > Level 30 boost

Dont recommended boosting if its your first toon. Do it on characters 2 and above

[kind cave]

yeah it's a alt I want to prep to play wony with a buddy who never played it

[kind cave]

cheers that worked

[warm fjord]

Oh gosh the puppeteer is difficult

[kind cave]

you're giving me ptsd

[warm fjord]

Why?

[kind cave]

the amount of times I had to do that fight 😄

[warm fjord]

Hahaha

I just closed my game 😂😂 gonna go there again but lower difficult 😭

[valid bronze]

@wraith flare yoooo

[wraith flare]

[wooden void]

this game is so confusing to come back to. not clue what i should be doing

[foggy field]

point gun at man, pull trigger

[ebon zinc]

literally same for me right now 😂 booted for the first time yesterday after yeeears

Im pretty overwhelmed by all the gun stats etc

[wooden void]

im 64 and i see ppl with like 12k lol

are mainhunts inportant?

manhunts sry

[foggy field]

manhunts are a good source for season xp and it unlocks a mission at the end

[wooden void]

ok will check that out thx

[foggy field]

I'd say the first thing you should be doing at lvl 64 is getting a build together that you can comfortably run heroic

Striker is probably the easiest one to do

[wooden void]

aww i have been using a set called hotshot

I really want to unlock firewall

[foggy field]

Also a fine choice

Once you can run heroic without much issue you can start properly farming gear. Building up a good storage of gear for builds. ALso don't just mindless deconstruct your gear. Check your library to see if you can use any of the attributes or talents for recalibration

[wooden void]

ok thanks for ur advice

[foggy field]

Also if you find an elite protection mod at 13% keep it. That thing is one of the hardest thing to find in the game. I was 20k by the time I found my 6th one

[full crown]

hey guys so with the new dlc coming up is our gear lvl40 gonna be useless?

[cedar yacht]

its still level 40

[cedar edge]

Is it possible to have done the Navy Hills Transmission and not get the code for the biolab under the white house? I'm sure I have done the mission from Applegate, but I cannot enter rooms in the biolab. (No there is no key in the bag)

I am stood right next to Applegate right now, there is no mission she has to share.

[lapis sky]

Quick question I did the requirements for the twitch drops I see everything but the backpack 🎒 trophies I closed the app and restarted it and still nothing I also claimed them from the app 😔 can anyone please explain

[cedar edge]

I was in the room, I opened the bags and got no key.

[narrow kraken]

do optimization and recalibration station still exist ? or is it only library and tinkering now ?

[cedar yacht]

Its moved into tinkering

those stations still exist

[pseudo tundra]

as far as am i aware the XP events only apply to lv40 characters

[open mountain]

no

[knotty geode]

picking random mod @pseudo tundra
got severe bug, second time
Roosevelt Island
Black Tusk [Normal]
Two NPC's just stuck at container and i cant finish the mission
pls drop it to devs or jira idk
||game released in 2019 its absurd to have bugs like this||

[pseudo tundra]

We dont do bug reports, just volunteers.
Use oxidizer skill

[knotty geode]

holy shit it worked
thanks man, saved me an hour of frustration

[open mountain]

could’ve also probably reset and completed it by now

still annoying that it happens

DUA has something like that

[pseudo jackal]

Hey guys new to the division 2 but I saw that they had a sale for it and I just got the ultimate edition on steam. Just wanted to ask if anyone new if the current ultimate edition will come with access to the upcoming dlc? Also anyone got any recommended beginner guides?

[bold tiger]

no, the steam sale would've been a loss on Ubisofts end if one bought it at 15usd/euro and included the brooklyn dlc as taht sale started probably monday before ubi had thier reveal video where they did announce buying ultimate would include the dlc

[pseudo jackal]

Ok I see. I dont really mind not getting the new dlc but riperonis on the credits. Thanks for the quick response

[gilded flax]

has anyone else had issues with the Angel hunter mask?

killed them, got the mask, but not the off-white key

can't respawn them either

[bold tiger]

in the #td2-build-advice there's a pin with a spreadsheet with tabs at the bottom one being Build Hub going there and finding one that sounds interesting to you and setting yourself off on obtaining all or most of the items in there

[narrow kraken]

So is the streamlined weapon talent in game yet?

[bold tiger]

next season when ever they start it
be it in a couple weeks or may 27th when brooklyn releases

[narrow kraken]

😭 I have been grinding summit for 2 days thinking it was in game

[sour mortar]

May 27th for season start and DLC drops

[bold tiger]

reason i say couple weeks is we got 2 weeks of scouts left then we get the seasons finale mission, but in game it shows burden of truth (current season) having 6 weeks left

[bold tiger]

@bitter quartz like this is the chameleon and eaglebearer and the sheet i got it from https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nrPBmOrtpkEW1j5fbcRT7L-AXgsGOqMqxXoVtopsiGM/edit?gid=1380412817#gid=1380412817
that's in the pinned section in the upper right hand corner of discord on PC, think you click the #td2-build-advice on phone/tablet you get another screen which shows Pins as an option

[bitter quartz]

I had all the spreadsheets open, and got there through the stickys.
I am not sure which sticky and which spreadsheet you are in, judging from the screenshot

Alright, found it. I think it was on the 5th tab of the first spreadsheet from one of the stickys

[bold tiger]

it appears Strega and Overlord in the exotic section has nothing for drop locations, is it still an unknowing thing for those 2?

[ember bison]

Is it possible to deconstruct more than one item at a time?

Edit: Found out how to do it on my own, wark the things you want to deconstruct as junk and then you can get all at once.

[bold tiger]

nods you can go into expertise menu and hold a button to donate all junk to expertise as well, considering you're not proficient in those items already

[ember bison]

oh nice, I did not know that, that is going to help lvl that a lot

[bold tiger]

someone had a good flow of it which i can't remember who said it but it was something like
mark as junk -> expertise donate junk ->deconstruct for materials -> sell for ecredits when the need is there
worded differently but that's how i read it which i was already doing anyways XD but i rarely did the sell for ecredits bit

[ember bison]

yea, I noticed that ecredits do not have much use.

[bold tiger]

oh it does, just not really prevalent
you use it when you're recalibrating and optimizing, probably expertising too but i didn't pay attention to it

oh i messed up the order in that anyways
like for me that's my flow
for new(ish) players
probably
destroy gear/weapons for core/attributes/talents in library ->expertise ->deconstruct ->sell

[worldly basin]

Where's the pinned method to farm SHD levels

With the update coming soon and the SHD level mule going away

I need to farm levels this last month

[foggy field]

I've found bounties to be the best method. They're quick for hoe much xp you get plus with 3 bosses you'll also get a good amount of exotics while you're doing it

[vernal radish]

Can you get emperors guards in countdown?

[foggy field]

Countdown itself? no. but you can use the points you get to buy named cahces to get it

[vernal radish]

Ahhh

Is there anyway to get the blueprint?

[foggy field]

Descent

that one also has a point system attached to it that you can use to buy a specific cache to unlock most named blueprints

[vernal radish]

Sweet

[slim elk]

https://lite.evernote.com/note/339146a1-ab4e-7473-dda3-649306fbd240

[foggy field]

"That's why Div YT is the worst place to look for build advice." Probably the most accurate thing I've read about this game

[foggy field]

I stand corrected. I'll adjust my farming method when i need more xp over xp and exotics

[slim elk]

sure thing

I don't like debating or arguing over stuff so, I respect anyone's xp farming methods

[foggy field]

Hard to debate data. Besides I'm not married to any of my opinions and I'm more than willing to change my mind. My watch being 24k doesn't make me God

[wispy merlin]

ran into a person who thought their 23k shd meant they knew everything about legendary

duality of man

[mellow trout]

💀

[foggy field]

I'm a solo player. The only reason I have a Bighorn is the Summit. Really should get around to doing the legendary Strongholds though. They seem fun. Same with Iron works

[wispy merlin]

they have a lot of depth. their AI is predictable once you spend enough time with them

[foggy field]

Based on my legendary summit time I know I'd enjoy it. The AI being way more aggressive would be fun.

[wispy merlin]

there was this guy who accused me of having suspicious aim and playing seemingly recklessly but always making it out alive every time

says i'm not legit, and he knows because he's 23k shd, he knows what's possible

so there are people on the other end of the spectrum who thinks shd = knowledge

[foggy field]

looking back at all the exploits that have existed for XP shd lvl means nothing to me

people were getting 10k+ in under a week

[heady veldt]

I don't know.. I've noticed a lot people who join me when I call for help.. some people are 2-3k SHD, I don't know if they are running bad builds but sometimes in ends up I am carrying them. Not saying I"m super hotshot player, I've just noticed they have hard time surviving in Heroic or doing damage. Someone mentioned the SHD level is not really a measurement because a lot of people just spend time in open world and when 3-5x XP this their SHD level goes through the roof..

[cedar yacht]

Nah you’re a cheater. Source? That was me who commented.

[wispy merlin]

but yeah shd means absolutely nothing

[cedar yacht]

Well yeah SHD was never a real indicator of skill even since day one with multiple xp bugs/exploits throughout the year. You can literally see it in real time when you matchmake in Legendary.

[wispy merlin]

i'm almost 15k and most of it was resource convoys back when they were good. the rest is from grinding legendary

[rugged stratus]

#ask-td2-community message

[wispy merlin]

and i play a lot of it, mostly solo

[rugged stratus]

travel time, limited amount of bounties, needing to farm bounties from other activities doesnt sound like a fast way to farm xp...

[foggy field]

Scroll down after that statement. We've already talked about it. Welcome to the discussion

[rugged stratus]

just correcting an inaccurate statement

[foggy field]

Perfectly acceptable. Just didn't feel like reiterating what I said earlier

[heady veldt]

can someone clarify for me what fortified shield is? I am using crusader shield skill but I can't find anywhere in the description fortified shield variant. I need 50 melee kills for journey final step and not sure which one to use?

[mellow trout]

It's a modifier

[rugged stratus]

supposed to be a blanket increase to the shield iirc. probably doesnt matter which you use. i would just do the challenge on normal/hard to get it out of the way

[pseudo tundra]

sweet dreams help

[heady veldt]

thanks.. yeah I just wanted to bang it out but unsure what to use.. @mellow trout mentioning it's a modifier clarified it

[pseudo tundra]

the shotgun i mean

[odd condor]

yeah any shield variant works, use Crusader with Sweet Dreams for the fastest option

[heady veldt]

what is sweet dreams?

a shotty?

[rugged stratus]

exo shotgun

[foggy field]

instant kills reds and purps with a melee hit

has a cooldown on it

[heady veldt]

oh the talent makes it so

[odd condor]

^if they're human so you can't oneshot a Warhound or minitank that way

[pseudo tundra]

speaking of it, dumb question from me, the brands weapon damage bonus are all base WD right? i mean stuff like AR damage, MMR and so on

[heady veldt]

perfection!

[mellow trout]

Applies before red cores

[pseudo tundra]

was thinking if i should change my red pistol shield build to use the new brand

60% is a lot

is it 60% on the PTS?

[foggy field]

yes

[pseudo tundra]

due stuff i havent downloaded the PTS to make sure

[mellow trout]

60 percent is massive for harvest/reg

[pseudo tundra]

2 piece of the brand will replace punch drunk and claws out

2 piece of that, 3 piece of red bulkward and ninja bike

[foggy field]

That build might make me dust off my Ninja backpack

[foggy field]

What do you guys think the chances of streamline getting a nerf by the time it goes to the live servers?

[mellow trout]

99.9 percent

80 percent virtually unconditional weapon damage is insanity

[foggy field]

Yep. Hopefully they don't nerf it to the point it's useless

[odd condor]

yeah I wouldn't be surprised that if there is a second PTS run that dials it back some

[foggy field]

would be nice to get our hands on the other new mask and play against the new cleaners.

but I wouldn't get your hopes up for that

[grave gyro]

It all gets added together, they are functionally the same.

[bold tiger]

as it is now? high chance of it getting a nerf

[next inlet]

What’s a mule?

[bold tiger]

@pseudo tundra @foggy field now the real question if they keep streamline on pistols as well, regulus or highend with streamline?

[bold tiger]

currently? one gets thier alt to 40 and utilize a seperate amount of watch scavenging points to spend for materials that's account wide shared from inaya blueprint purchase

[pseudo tundra]

i will keep my regulus

cause i like it

[foggy field]

Reg will still have the boom, but the single target damage will be higher for harvest

[odd condor]

but there's only one pistol slot

[bold tiger]

yeah, same here, i won't lie that i'd also try a harvest with streamline on it too just to see

funnily enough i haven't really touched the gearset or brandset on pts 😢 been having too much fun trying different talent combos with alphabridge

[bold tiger]

i find it hard not watching heads explode with that gun

[mellow trout]

Harvest is all well and good but you can't beat pocket mortars

[bold tiger]

no you can't which is why i said i find it fun watching heads explode

[foggy field]

I really need to do an ironhorse run to get that thing

[next inlet]

So since low shd players can’t do that mule thing, what would be a good way to earn Shd Calibration material

[bold tiger]

i'd say find a build that can run 5 directive challenging and gaining levels quickly

[trim meadow]

What's available in this ultimate edition?

All this?

[bold tiger]

base game and warlords of new york

[trim meadow]

oh I already have them

[next inlet]

^

[bold tiger]

if it came with brooklyn it'd be a loss on ubisofts end since that was 15 usd/euro right?

[next inlet]

Why not 5 directive heroic? Is the xp difference not that big?

[bold tiger]

you can, i think som people said challenging you can fly through things a bit faster so it might be a toe to toe thing or one just being a bit higher

[next inlet]

Hmmm okay ty

[neon heart]

Might be one of those "you gotta bench 225 before you can bench 405" things

[bold tiger]

i tend to play a lot on heroic and i did run heroic 4 directives for a short while

[inner tendon]

The step from Hard > Chall is a lot smaller than the leap from Chall > Heroic, but there's no reason to rush.

[next inlet]

I’ve been doing heroic 4 directives all day today, it’s just that it’s getting mad boring doing the same thing over and over again

I’ve been doing heroic ever since I hit lvl 40, first I got a striker build and then I made every other build I would ever need, now I just need recalibration resource thing

[neon heart]

I know when talking about countdown, challenging is way faster/less stress than heroic for barely less rewards, it is kind of the sweet spot

[next inlet]

^ true

I’m honestly just doing cps for the recalibration blueprint rn since I have basically max of the resources I need

[mellow trout]

Heroic will naturally net bigger gains but if you keep dying it's less efficient

[next inlet]

Oh also a question, is there any way to fix this? It’s been happening randomly where a control point has no more enemies left but it’s still not giving me the xp rewards.

[jaunty badge]

you have to call for reinforcement and completely take control of the control point to grant you the exp

[pseudo tundra]

Call for the people to take over, enemies will appear to try take it back and it ends

[green agate]

So to be able for the Nemesis blueprint to drop, you need at least 2 parts of the gun right?

[rugged plank]

anyone know how to get the GR9lmg blueprint???

[jaunty badge]

yep

[jaunty badge]

try CP4 loot chest in the safe room, im not sure if it will drop there, but those chests contains BPs from TU15

[rugged plank]

ok

[jaunty badge]

I was able to get heartbeaker and Uzina blueprints from those chests

[bold tiger]

i'd say take over every single control points in both DC and NY reset control points on map and do it again

[rugged plank]

i did like 3 times now lol

[bold tiger]

i just don't know if there's a timer to taking control points and giving you blueprints part

this is a lot of blueprints to filter through if you ask me

think the only ones i'm probably missing are the named ones from descent

[jaunty badge]

the max amount of BP you can get until this season is 528, 88 sounds like the right number for named BP plus some seasonal non Named BPs

[bold tiger]

so i'm probably missing a few seasonal bp (> <) but eh whatever

[foggy field]

I think you can get them from descent

[bold tiger]

seasonal bp? perhaps, i haven't really been doing descent. not a real fan of it, was excited at first when they revealed it but once i got into felt too much like summit and was like yeah i'll do this enough to get the exotic rifle for collection purposes and stop afterwards

[jaunty badge]

not all BPs are in reconstructed cache, for example, I don't have the .308 Marksman Rifle BP, and I can't get it from the descent

[rugged stratus]

if you have already called in reinforcements, complete a couple of the activities nearby. chances are they got sidetracked and ended up at one of the other activities .

[foggy field]

I'm most likely wrong on that my bad. I looked into a little bit and it seems like ir's just the named items. I'm going to do a little more digging to be sure. See if I can find the date miner post I saw a couple years ago about it

[bold tiger]

dont' sweat it, i'm not too worried about missing some blueprints. i did take a lot of breaks and most of those are probably where i just logged in do the things for manhunt weekly progression and logged off

think i ran them enough to get the ridgeways and capacitor? then a few times to try and get some builds together, not a fan of countdown so summit is the only other place i can get things for a build idea

that reminds me, i need to change one of my builds around in preparation for alphabridge mask 🤔

[foggy field]

Countdown does suck but the amount of targeted loot you get makes it tolerable

[bold tiger]

might even have to prepare a non lexington ar

[next inlet]

No, like there’s already reinforcements there just standing around like they already cleared it but no other enemies are spawning in

[foggy field]

You have about 4 months so take your time

[next inlet]

Tried that too 😭

[rugged stratus]

oh damn, it happens a few cp where spawns are pretty farm from the site

[bold tiger]

or log out and back in

[rugged stratus]

question: when the new season pushes the shared scavenging points change, will they be refilling the scavenging pool up to your current level, or are you just stuck with what is currently available (up to the single agent shd)?

[foggy field]

The way they made it sound they are going to set it to your max shd points level. So if your 1,000 you'll get set to 200

[bold tiger]

250 isn't it?

nm, i can't math XD

[rugged stratus]

20%, 5 categories

[foggy field]

I don't think so. It goes to 5 sources right?

are unwavering and outsider new talents for ARs or did I miss that in one of the earlier updates?

[rugged stratus]

thats fair, tbh at least it isnt leaving the agent high and dry . looks like ill be losing around 19k stored scavenging once its implimented.

gonna have to spend the next month optimizing gear, claiming max amount of credits wo minimize the waste

[foggy field]

Smoke em while you got em I guess. I'm planning on filling everything from my storafe characters and converting everything from my main guy to currency

[rugged stratus]

would probably be good to do the overcapping materials trick as well if one has mules they can delete

[foggy field]

Well that's interesting. My entire storage is empty

[rugged stratus]

stash? or mule inventory

[foggy field]

Stash

[rugged stratus]

thats weird. i would relog

[foggy field]

on PTS. If it was the live I'd be losing my mind right now

[rugged stratus]

oic

[foggy field]

just had to relog. That was freaky

[bold tiger]

oh yeah, my stash disappeared in PTS and i was freaking like wait. relogged and there's my stuff!

just before that i was deconstructing extra things and thought i accidently deconstructed my FMJ build i wanted to swap back to

@rugged stratus i haven't touched my 2nd account at all since pts and think it'll be just a little over 1k shd hopefully

so. 1127 shd shoudl be what 227? 327?

[rugged stratus]

372 327

[bold tiger]

yeah, 327 with the change

[foggy field]

I'm looking at 23,400 points.

[rugged stratus]

yup, probably too much to spend anyways.
im looking at 42k

ill never burn through it

[foggy field]

Summit or countdown exploit?

[bold tiger]

has there been discussions of proficient level 30-40 guides?

[rugged stratus]

f10, i dont consider it exploit

[foggy field]

f10?

[bold tiger]

how many directives?

[rugged stratus]

floor 10 summit

[foggy field]

oh

they patched it out so the devs don't agree

at least you weren't killing the servers like the countdown people were

[bold tiger]

don't think i heard of the countdown one unless you mean the anderson then yeah that and faye manhunt killed servers

[foggy field]

yeah anderson. close enough

I did the summit one a few times, by the time that one was known I didn't care about my watch level

[bold tiger]

i did the tidal basin warhound when they'd come out of that packed truck, but i couldn't do it endlessly and got bored and moved on

[rugged stratus]

didnt need to break the game to get 60 levels/hr. so yeah, didnt impact.
i consider f10 in the same vein as scavenging mule. they didnt roll anyone back.

[foggy field]

So momento has some interesting interaction with the modifiers bonus armor

[inner tendon]

What about the Memento?

[foggy field]

not sure why but my bonus armor is about 200% what my normal armor is. Could be the bonus armor you get from trophies is doing something weird with the pts Modifier

Now I don't know what is going on. Cleared my bonus armor and wiped out a control point and collected all the trophies and now my bonus armor is about 50%. Maybe I just got extremely luck with blocking damage with my shield.

[bold tiger]

huh, i just watched a yt video from at least 9months ago for 15 minutes of 30-40 leveling

[foggy field]

How?

[bold tiger]

apparently you go here and sit in particular spots, initiate a bounty and the target npcs spawn in front of you but back turned to you and you just force them out a particular door and clear it, go back to a spot and repeat

want me link you the video?

[foggy field]

Sure, It's going to be useless in a month but I do like seeing how people figure weird stuff out

[bold tiger]

dm'd the link to you

i'm waiting for my blueprint cache to finish opening in pts to go check if it still works XD

[wispy merlin]

this is the max bonus armor you can have btw, 200% of your white armor

[foggy field]

Fasinating video. Don't think I will ever have use for it but neat to see people figuring out weird edge cases

[foggy field]

Yeah, not really sure what was going on there. I'm going to fool around with it more tomorrow to see If I can pin down what might've been causing it. Could've just been blind luck with the shield

[bold tiger]

yeah, was interesting PTS shows it may work, but i didn't have a bounty that i could forcibly spawn there , territory controls spawned there (2 guns in a cross formation?) spawned and they ran out hte very door you want them to come out of so maybe?

[spring escarp]

Can I, as the person who would be referring someone, get my hands on the timelost backpack trophy?

[brave talon]

is this pink jacket looking weird I cant decide lol

[bold tiger]

i'd say no, the timelpiece is bound to someone inviting you

[spring escarp]

Damn.

[foggy field]

You mean Timepeice? I got mine from inviting someone but I'm not sure if the event the were running is the same one they are currently running

[bold tiger]

think the one they were talking about when the invited individual do things with the referred player they get the trophy, but maybe veterans got it through some other method before they threw it in the referal program

[foggy field]

Maybe. if it's from the same thing I'm thinking of I think you got a yellow hunter outfit and a named item blueprint right?

[bold tiger]

picture they show for the referal program

[foggy field]

and the trophy

[bold tiger]

they don't have a picture for the rewards but this is what they're wondering about

[foggy field]

I guess they changed it since I did it because I got those when I referred a buddy

[bold tiger]

same here when i referred myself

[warm fjord]

Did the global modifier change? Or did I make that somehow? I’m new to this.

[foggy field]

Current one is Rogue Momentum. The one on the PTS is called Hard-Core

It changes every season

[warm fjord]

Yesterday I had the modifier with this momentum. Now I have something with more range more damage

[bold tiger]

that range is probably theo parnell manhunt mission

[warm fjord]

Ehm. You are right I’m doing that right now …

[foggy field]

Alright that makes sense

[warm fjord]

Oh god. Thank you. I’m so lost 😂

I wasn’t able to do puppeteer even in normal I’m such a newbie 😦

[bold tiger]

sounds like you don't have a proper build (> <)

[warm fjord]

I have the striker one

And the sentry drone

[bold tiger]

so striker, exactly as in the picture in #td2-build-advice pins or something you were able to throw together?

[warm fjord]

Can I post screenshots here?

[bold tiger]

should be able to

[foggy field]

You can here

[bold tiger]

did you fill in your library?

[warm fjord]

Im playing on steam deck so don’t judge the resolution 😂

[bold tiger]

is there a way to get pictures on steam deck? i have one myself

[warm fjord]

Not 100% the same

Just using mobile for discord

[bold tiger]

yeah, you need to drop 1 striker piece for say Ceska (looks like a hammer icon) preferable the chest with obliterate on it and your damage would increase quite a bit

[cedar yacht]

Omg its always striker chest with memento

You guys love the increase stacks that youll never get huh

[warm fjord]

Im a newbie don’t laugh at me 😂

[solemn swift]

Me still using outdated Symphony set with 2pc striker

[foggy field]

You can hit it in a group of 4. Solo you'll never touch that stuff

[cedar yacht]

200 stacks?

[warm fjord]

Why should I try to get Ceska when I can just change the talent to whatever I want?

[cedar yacht]

Lame

[solemn swift]

Damn red and black always a nice combo

[warm fjord]

Sick no? 😂

[solemn swift]

Also a nice combo

[cedar yacht]

What talent?

[foggy field]

Also dump the MMR it's not doing you any favors. An ACS-12 works great with with striker

[warm fjord]

What lostsoul wrote oböigigigirate 😂

[solemn swift]

LMG never feels right

I still need to make am LMG theme

[warm fjord]

I just use elmo 90%of the time

[solemn swift]

For my alts

[bold tiger]

considering Striker having no way of increasing crit hit chance, ceska 1 piece increases yoru chc getting you close to taht 55-60% range and then you can focus on crit hit damage

[foggy field]

Acs-12 will make you instantly hit the hit counter instead of having to build it up

[warm fjord]

Aaah it’s because of the brandset I understand. Thanks!

Is it a smg?

[foggy field]

shotgun

full auto shotgun*

[warm fjord]

Ah ok

[solemn swift]

It's been over 6 weeks since I played div2 I miss this game everything feels new again

[warm fjord]

Need to change to firewall as well right? I liked the signature weapon of technician

[cedar yacht]

Not necessarily

[bold tiger]

nods and i feel once people get a new exotic mask next season it might be ceska chest, 4 strikers exotic mask, 2 non-named ar or an exotic as it the talent states can't be used. it's a matter of what 2 talents will work wonderfully in that set up

[cedar yacht]

Specialization is mostly preference

[solemn swift]

Right need to know, what day is weekly reset again?

[cedar yacht]

Monday for incursion

[warm fjord]

Not long ago I wrote that the community is awesome. Always helpful. Someone responded that the community is nice but once I go to pvp it’s different. First game conflict yesterday. Didn’t know what to do. And you are so right 😂😂

[cedar yacht]

Tuesday for server reset

[solemn swift]

Yea Tuesday gotcha thanks

So that's my Wednesday aka Aussie timezone

[foggy field]

PVP is a hellscape. Ignore it

[heady veldt]

yay.. well grinded this season and finally finished with this .. I have to say, some of the journey mission challenges were a bit annoying.. overall though.. I liked the experience.. was this format with journey and seasons always like this or they changed it over time?

[bold tiger]

that day is awesome. open map and you get focused on tidal basin being invaded

[solemn swift]

Again for the 999999th time xd

[bold tiger]

they made it this way last season

with the journey and priority objectives

[heady veldt]

priority objectives are such a great thing.. for people without exotics to catch up but still play..

[bold tiger]

you would've lost your mind last seasonal journey objectives
i know i did

[foggy field]

When you get the bug that instantly fills your season xp you can ignore all that suff....

[heady veldt]

they have to make them be more fun.. some of the ones even though I picked the bareable were really annoying.

[solemn swift]

FK I hard grinded strongholds instead last season

Coz the objectives were so ew

[bold tiger]

you know in this seasons journey stuff you reached a point of needing particular passive or actives to progress?
last season a lot of them were behind the severe rng priority objectives

[heady veldt]

and that's one of the things that was also not cool

I can't even imagine last season.. the thing they have to understand is you can't make people have fun if you stuff things down their throat.. it has to feel smooth and fun.. like on the last journey mission.. 600 kills with tactical supremacy.. seriously? I ended up just meleeing guys on normal and finished it that way.. I'm like at 140/600 with tactical supremacy it would have taken forever.

[foggy field]

The season in the PTS is actually pretty easy. The only one that will take some time is the very last one

[bold tiger]

last season i don't think we had the 3 free rerolls on priority objectives
you literally look at the rewards, is there a passive or active modifier as reward, no, reroll look again not there wait 24 hours or something

[foggy field]

The only thing I wish they would do with priorty obj is to let people opt out of having PVP as an option

[heady veldt]

I mean honestly that was in my mind maybe better then gatekeeping microwave coils behind journey step 7..

like, yo, here's a cool passive modifier but you have to spend weeks and grind to get it unlocked.

[bold tiger]

they heard us last season and made the change there. heard us again and next season will be a little more pleasant considering coop added to it

[heady veldt]

it just has to flow you know.. I should be playing and enjoying the game and this stuff should be kind of picked to just happen as you play and the more you play things just unlock. If I don't like tactical supremacy I should not be forced in using it.. but that's the game designer in me.

[bold tiger]

maybe that's why they went the 6 out of 8 route

[heady veldt]

yeah.. that's true

I mean it was fine.. i never finished it.. and 50 melees wasn't horrible.. took like 20 mins.. so I guess i may be overreacting a bit..

[bold tiger]

but yeah, on pts i was just trying to do 6 of the 8 journey 1 season and finished went to claim. oh i can claim 2 and 3 as well? sweet

[heady veldt]

that's nice! so they are taking the feedback for sure.. that's cool

[bold tiger]

oh yeah, the rest of the stuff i finished most of their objectives as well so i'm like oh this'll be fun

then again maybe i only did it because we started off with the passive and active modifiers

[heady veldt]

cool..excited to see season 4.. how much I like the game, Div 2 will be my main game for a while

it's good to see them improving it

[bold tiger]

wrong season (> <) well naming wise
it'll be year 7 season 1

[heady veldt]

ah

[bold tiger]

quite early since we're still in year 6?

[heady veldt]

that' why i was a bit confused.. in my mind it's 4 season in a year

if average season is 3 months i guess

[bold tiger]

nods odd jumping several months but hey whatever. i'm excited for it

[heady veldt]

indeed

[bold tiger]

i just wish i could play an ubisoft division 2 and steam division 2 on 1 pc 😢

[heady veldt]

I'l tell you.. from what I see in the industry.. they have tremendous opportunity now to completely rejuvenate Div 2 and get a lot of peope in again.. because a lot of other games that may have kept Div 2 in the shadows are not in good spot .. so this is such a great time for them to go full steam and make some nice changes.. even if it's skeleton crew working on it.. add some cross play maybe and cross progression.. that would be HUGE to get people playing together.

[foggy field]

I think that's why they are working on div 3. But that's at least 2 year away. Probably more like 3-4

[bold tiger]

nods first comes resurgence

[foggy field]

Thought that got canceled?

[bold tiger]

one cc said they were starting to hire for resurgence

[foggy field]

Resurgence is the mobile game. I'm thinking of the battle royal thing they were making. That's gone

[bold tiger]

mind went blank on that one, but yeah that got canceled even though a bunch were highly looking forward to it

[heady veldt]

I think that was a smart move.. extraction/BR shooters are on their way out.. the interest is fading fast.

[mystic torrent]

And yet companies keep jumping on the train for some reason.

[heady veldt]

they are still living in 5 years ago

[mystic torrent]

Sounds par for the course for that studio.

[foggy field]

That's because it take's about 4 years to make a game

[bold tiger]

same video where he talks about hiring for it

so yeah, i assumed heartland went poof, so did Resurgence
then this video popped up and got the news Resurgence is going to be a thing some day as they're hiring for it was like ohhhhh. never played the betas for it so no clue but looked interesting

[heady veldt]

@foggy field yeah but it's not the only reason.. it's mostly management who are people who don't really play the games but are mostly business oriented a lot of them are behind because they usually don't have to see what's coming and what's happening.. they see something hot in the moment and they make decisions.. I remember a decade ago, the good management were actual gamers, the guys who made studios to make games.. they wanted to make new trends and fun games.. now it's about "oh we want another Fortnite because it made last year 1.5 billion"..

[bold tiger]

yeah, i'd say that probably sums up the ubisoft management
trying to either recreate games that they've seen made money that they probably made fun of before most everyone latched onto and now "we need to do this" but now fortnite gaming is probably stale they're like "cancel heartlands!" considering they probably didn't know a lot of fans were looking forward to it

[mystic torrent]

Something something asset rollover. Maybe we'll see something. Companies don't tend to waste much.
Not a full game. But the evolution of what art and assets were already made.

[bold tiger]

sadly there's really only one thing that interests me for fortnite is the miku addition, but i don't think that should be enough justification to play it and pay for that skin and stuff for miku

[heady veldt]

yup.. they completely fail to see that the reason some of these games became massive successes and made a ton of money is because they took risks ahead of a lot of others, and made something new at the time.. just copying stuff and trying to slap your logo on will hardly ever make it successful. Activision knows this VERY well.

[heady veldt]

you see Epic knows that Fortnite alone would not have made them money in the long term anymore.. so they made UEFN. Unreal Engine based tool for fans and gamers to make their own games and levels based on Fortnite. And this ignited a whole revolution among players. So now community is making some crazy stuff within the Fortnite universe.

[bold tiger]

yeah no clue, i've seen some recent videos of UE 5 stuff and seen some people suggest using it to upgrade some games they're playing now but probably not knowing it might be much harder than it looks to say converting current games to UE5
figuring since the videos popping up recently meant it came out a few months ago, looked i up and was like ohhh years ago

[heady veldt]

oh yeah.. I mean Unreal Engine is a full blown game engine. UEFN is like a gamer friendly tool that's a lot simpler and uses all the technology and stuff that they used to build Fortnite but they made it gamer friendly so anyone can make levels and games within the Fortnite framework. If you are interested this is how they describe it (which I think was a brilliant move)

How is UEFN different from Unreal Engine 5?
UEFN is designed to create experiences for Fortnite. This means every experience you create is published to the Fortnite ecosystem, reaching a built-in audience of millions. To do this, UEFN combines the creation tools from Fortnite Creative with the Unreal Editor, enabling Unreal Engine creators to develop content for Fortnite using a familiar interface.

anyways.. not to harp on this.. I was just thinking really that this is such a great time for Ubisoft and Massive to really rejuvenate Div 2 and get a ton of people back in

[bold tiger]

that's probably why people think "fornite did this, every company should be able to" without thinking the business deals each company would have to go through
and i totally agree, we need more things div 2 related to bring veterans back + get newer people coming in

[heady veldt]

a simple crossplay/cross progression would be a massive step.. that alone would combine consoles and PC in a way there people could play together and experience the game.. And a small team could do this in a few months from my experience. they already have network replication in the game as it works on each platform.. if they did it, the game would become more unified.

[bold tiger]

think the cross play is a bit stretch considering console players hate chronus devices, then you pair them with the many PC hackers doing better than the chronus players and then they'd get a massive influx of reports and videos they have to cross refrence to ensure if they ban a player it's reasonable
otherwise it'll be fill with people who suck and just reporting people because that person is a lot better than them

[heady veldt]

that's always going to happen. there's no way around that.. you can't deny that not having crossplay and cross progresion does not hurt the game in a way from community/player perspective. I"m pretty sure this game is like 80-90% PvE based for most people.

anyways.. I just keep looking at games always as what I would do 🙂

I want to say that I was VERY underwhelmed with Shocker Punch

[bold tiger]

yeah, i'm PVE mostly but i wonder if they could add cross play PVE side alone and keep PVP seperate per platform? 🤔

[bold tiger]

about the only reason i think liked it i could stun lock an pc with it but the damage was minimal and i'd probably lost my shield many times trying to keep them in place

[heady veldt]

super underwhelming

[trim meadow]

First time I complete heroic mode in lincoln memorial museum it was easy with striker build and sheild.

[spare girder]

How do I complete Journey mission 7 with this build with reactive reinforcement mod?

[trim meadow]

There have journey mission 7?

[spare girder]

For Y6S3, yes

[slate solstice]

i cant stand the journey BS i hate that they changed the battle pass and u just cant run around and do what ever u want and use what ever build u want

[pseudo tundra]

They changed so most activities actually give BP exp now

While journey can give a lot of season XP, most people grinded out with priority objectives

[warm fjord]

How exactly is the best way to get expertise? Donating all items I get? I’m doing this when I’m done in the library but it is still at expertise 3 oO

[pseudo tundra]

because it takes a lot of points and items to go up

it's not an instant farm

[warm fjord]

So I need to up as many items for the expertise? So I need to play different builds?

[pseudo tundra]

You can donate materials or copies of items, that way you can get proficiency for items you dont even own like some exotics

You can use them or donate pretty much

[spare girder]

So any tips?

[amber snow]

i just waited til the first bp xp event, but this bp is one of the worst ones so thats prob why my motivation was so low

[graceful carbon]

how do you get coyote mask

[amber snow]

best way is prob target farm masks in countdown and spend the countdown credits on exotic caches

cuz then u have 2 routes to get the mask from doing the same thing

[balmy fossil]

spend the countdown credits on exotic caches, where is this in menu?

[amber snow]

u got to the social area at washington and theres a bench to the right, not the first bench but the second one

[balmy fossil]

thx very much!!!!!!

[graceful carbon]

where is countdown

[balmy fossil]

top left of map green icon

right*

[graceful carbon]

so is jefferesons not good for coyote mask I read somewhere that was a method?

[balmy fossil]

idk about that, countdown is 8 man so 15 min runs, an you can focus mask. so better chances I guess?

[worldly fjord]

There are many better options. Like countdown, summit, or open world with mask targeted loot

[amber snow]

like i said countdown is like a double farm cuz ur farming masks and ur getting countdown credits that u can spend for exotic caches

[balmy fossil]

oh yeah big facts

[inner tendon]

@graceful carbon The trick with JTC (Jefferson) is that you only get one single chance per/run to get the Mask, from Coyote herself.
If JTC has Masks as its TL (targeted loot), then throw on as many Directives as you can handle, and play on Challenging or Heroic, and farm the hell out of it.

[worldly fjord]

Exactly this ☝️

[balmy fossil]

@inner tendon thx for tip!!

[graceful carbon]

where do i spend those countdown credits

[odd condor]

#ask-td2-community message

[amber snow]

when u get back to washington walk into the social area and its the 2nd bench on the right

[odd condor]

the one that has a single laptop on it

[balmy fossil]

right next to seasons

[fathom agate]

anyone else experiencing issues getting the twitch drops/

Got the first exotic box, then haven't recieved anything since

https://i.imgur.com/5doE7Oj.png 😐

[north tundra]

I just started division 2 but im kinda lost on lore sorry. But after playing a few mins, TLDR is basically purge gone wrong?

[heady veldt]

when using ongoing directive.. what is the preferred way to apply status effect to get the set bonus going.. I'm assuming you just need to kill the first enemy with status effects on them and then it chains basically as you keep getting hollow point rounds and applying bleed?

[heady veldt]

the virus was released in brooklyn.. chaos and "purge" ensues, it destroys the society.. Division is a group of elite soldiers who are prepped for that specific scenario. To curtail the fallout of society and to bring back the order basically. Hunters are another Division like unit basically made to be the ones to fall back onto if Division fails or if Division agents go rogue. They are ruthless and deadly but in the whole scheme of things they basically went bad and are now cleaning up everyone as well. Similar to the Cleaners but the cleaners are completely insane.

[nimble spruce]

Yes. Everyone has their favourite way to start it, often a skill like banshee pulse or foam chem.
This season I'm using the sharpshooter spotter drone with microwave coils, as it gives constant CC on random nearby enemies and builds momentum really fast.

When you have one weapon with the bleed ammo you can use that and then swap to another weapon to get that loaded up too, maybe some more on your pistol for backup

[heady veldt]

I like the pistol approach..

[heady veldt]

is there no talent on pistols that procs the status effect on hit?

[spring escarp]

The Virus was released in the mall that we have to search to find the dollar in while the cleaners are burning it down, wasn't it?

[heady veldt]

I believe so.. it was deliberately released via money. Didn't get into more than that when i watched some back story before starting.

[pseudo tundra]

it was released in black friday sale and it was being spread mostly in infected notes and then from people to eachother and so on

you go to the mall to get clear samples from cash

[nimble spruce]

Not immediately, you've got the usual options like sadist, eyeless etc that require a few kills first, and you can grab special ammo from somewhere and use that. There are weapons like iron lung and bluescreen that provide status too. Depending on the enemies you can also just pop a weakpoint (hyena rushers and outcast grenadiers are the easiest)

[heady veldt]

ah.. that makes sense.. your approach with the pulse drone seems to be the preferred method for a lot of people since it applies the pulse periodically and applies the status. Bluescreen is definitely something I will take in consideration as I wanted to use it with Heartbreaker but it seems to have a good purpose here the issue is I like to play aggressive so the shield and reviver save my butt very often.

[feral bronze]

@fathom agate yeah same problem also only got the backpack shoe sofar and completed it the day it went live on twitch the drops

on ps5 pro btw

[fathom agate]

xbox series here

[feral bronze]

yeah its a mess

never had any problems in the past got the drops 15-20 mins after i claimed them

[fathom agate]

last night i got the one exotic box, then I finished up today and got none of the rest

[feral bronze]

at this rate might aswell give up doing drops anymore

[fathom agate]

never had one single problem ever w/ drops before

[nimble spruce]

An AR with sadist is a good primary, then take bluescreen as a secondary, the huge mag will be helpful with unusually tanky enemies. The drone is really strong this season though so highly recommended.

[heady veldt]

how good are mender mines? for healing and armor recovery? the heartbreaker build I want to go with would probably use mender to heal me as my primary weapon would be bluescreen to work with the heartbreaker build and pulse, so I will not have shield or reviver.

do I have to ramp up my skill rating in order for them to heal faster if I'm taking damage?

[heady veldt]

and this is one scenario here I wish I had Lexington. I would use it with Killer and have Bluescreen as secondary to apply status at the beginning of the engagement.

[nimble spruce]

The most common approach with HB is to run technician and use the laser weapon mod which pulses anything you aim at. This is compatible with many weapons. Running technician will also give you an extra skill tier which will strengthen your shield, and you can also run the artificer hive to make the shield repair faster.

[heady veldt]

interesting

[nimble spruce]

Sadist is always the best option with OD since you get guaranteed bleed and an extra 30/35% amplified damage with no further effort (albeit not against warhounds)

[heady veldt]

ah Sadist does give multiplicative damage.. that sounds actaully better than killer and has utility too

[nimble spruce]

Yes, multiplicative and no RNG required to get it, and no time limit/kill required to start it off

[heady veldt]

totally

so maybe someone can clarify for me.. does Pestilence apply an actual status while doing the whole dot damage or it's in a completely different bucket from statuses?

[pseudo tundra]

debuff

it's a talent that causes dot damage, it's not a status effect

[heady veldt]

thanks.. from the description i wasn't 100% sure. I guess doesn't hurt to double check.

let's say in the case of memento.. when it says more blue cores does x, does that take in account the mods you put on gear such as armor on kill for example? or it only counts actual core attributes that are blue? I'm guessing the latter, I'm curious because the blue mods have a core icon on them as well?

and while I'm on armor on kill mods, are they worth it or nah?

[dusky vine]

where is good way to farm memento exotic

[heady veldt]

I farmed all my exotics 2 ways. Backpack on Countdown or Priority Objectives.. Got almost all exotics in like 2 days.

[dusky vine]

k

[heady veldt]

countdown also gives you credits so if you play a few runs you can buy 2-3 exotics chests as well. Each exotic chest is 224 credits and you get almost 200 from one run (on challenging/heroic). Someone told me here that challenging is better for farming because the difference in credits is like 20.

[dusky vine]

good

[nimble spruce]

Only counts the primary core stat of your gear, not minor stats or mods.
No, armour on kill mods are generally too small magnitude to be worth it, same as non-percentage-based armour regen stats.

[fathom agate]

yeah, I always got the drops 15-20 mins after claiming as well. Not sure what the issue is this time around. If you happen to find a fix or think you've found one let me know if you remember and I'll do the same.

Hope you get your drops man, sucks that we'll probably never see them.

[ember bison]

I play division on ubisoft connect, but would like to move the game to steam as I like having all my games there, Right now there is a sale for Division 2 and I wondered, if I buy the game there, will I still be able to play on my current account

[brave talon]

can u donate all junk for expertise or only named items?

[pseudo tundra]

all junk

but goes into their specific cateogyr

if a random AK is marked as trash, it will be donated to the AK proficiency

if the AK is already proficient then it wont be donated as it's already maxed out, you can donate basic materials also for items but that has to be manually to the itme you want

so you can stil lbreak down trash that wasnt initially donated

[glad wave]

why can't I change the weapon handling tribute to something else but I can change the crit damage to anything I want?

[wispy merlin]

no, mods are not cores

and armor on kill mods are complete shit

[nimble spruce]

As long as you link it to your existing Ubisoft account then yes, you'll continue on the same characters

[ember bison]

Do I need to buy everything again or just the base game?

[nimble spruce]

You can only recalibrate one stat slot per item. In this case you must have already recalibrated that crit slot. You can continue to change it as many times as you like but you can't change anything else.

[nimble spruce]

Probably just the base game, honestly couldn't say for certain though.

[ember bison]

Might just get the ultimate just to be sure

[nimble spruce]

Not a big price difference at the moment, yeah

[heady veldt]

haha i figured..

what do field of research of specializations do? are they worth completing? looks to me it's mostly cosmetics?

[rugged stratus]

if you have year 1 pass, then they are just challenges with some rewards. if you dont have year 1 pass, those challenges are how you unlock the spec so you can use it

[patent raptor]

Just wondering, do I need to do all the control points before I do the Tidal basin for the first time? Feeling overwhelmed atm

[half karma]

can you still farm the Handbasket from the Loot Goblin or has that finished now?

[heady veldt]

ah.. I have the ultimate so that is really just kind of apparel and similar.. got it

[rugged stratus]

some named weapons tied behind them tho

[heady veldt]

hm.. interesting.. maybe i just missed them.. I think I'm on step 4 for gunner

[rugged stratus]

youll get sleipnir if you havent already at stage 4

[heady veldt]

can palisade chest drop with crit chance and crit damage? seems like getting these attributes is nearly impossible.

[rugged stratus]

it will drop, but that is what we call a unicorn

its equally hard getting skill damage palisade

[nimble spruce]

Nope, no need at all, and they'll only get retaken anyway

[hard blaze]

Has Incursion chest already reset or?

[slim elk]

in 8 hours or so IIRC

[median path]

Hello, to anyone who have started fresh from zero after world tier removal, have you ever experienced any issue like side mission missing or project incompletable due to world tier requirement?

[bold tiger]

probably the black tusk invasion for one of them?

[median path]

Yeah I've heard it, don't know it's been fixed or not

I guess I'm just gonna to use level booster to auto-complete them, just to avoid those issues

[bold tiger]

i've been playign long before that so i don't know all that gets bypassed since their latest update to the 1-40 in DC bit, but pretty sure there was more to it than that black tusk part

once you're 40 though, you'll probably get to finish that black tusk invasion project/quest/mission whatever it is

[midnight fox]

I've created a mule, levelled it up to 40, but the watch does not unlock.
Did the keener mission twice on story.
Nothing changed.
Anything I can do, except delete character and start again?

[inner tendon]

@midnight fox You don't need to do the Keener Mission to get the Watch.
Once you are Lvl 40, go to the White House (BoO) and talk to the person that you upgrade your skills at (next to the Spec Weapons person).

[slim elk]

log out and back in and talk to the quartermaster at DC

[midnight fox]

Will do thanks.

That worked!. 👍

[slim elk]

yeah it's a common bug atm
someone that helped me level a mule recently told me that right before we finished

[inner tendon]

I've done a number of mules since the change-up, have not had one case where I had to re-log between.
Or is the bug that you can't get the Watch from NYC anymore? I thought that was intentional.

[worldly fjord]

Usually when my characters (either SC mule or HC) get to 40, i talk to the guy and my watch is at 0, a relog fixes it

[bold tiger]

bought it, tested it and i don't feel like it's working? but not a famas user so i don't notice the difference, maybe an avid user of famas will know?

[mellow trout]

Frenzy on an AR is interesting

Though because the magazine is smaller and the fire rate is higher I could see it being pretty good

[bold tiger]

yeah, i was like oh my, that might be a contender there to streamline

[bold tiger]

@coral cliff

@mellow trout i found this amusing in the library

[mellow trout]

Outsider and unwavering is interesting

Unwavering could be pretty fun on AKs and such

[bold tiger]

those were smg talents right?

[mellow trout]

Ye

While they're at it I'll take salvage on fully automatics

[bold tiger]

salvage was a kill mechanic with something with magazines right?

yes, that woudl be awesome naval! (> <)

[nimble spruce]

I recently did the whole 1-40 run on a new account and had no issues like that. I did barely any of the side missions while leveling though, saved them and many of the projects for the end.

[icy thicket]

What does dark zone key do? I don't have gamepass core to play dark zone.

[odd condor]

some points of interest or "landmarks" in the Dark Zones have lockboxes in them that contain gear that require either the Dark Zone keys to open, or going rogue and picking the lock

[heady veldt]

is there a way to hide this.. i don't know if it's a bug or not but I can't see any incoming calls for help when this notice is on .. when I look at under projects all of them are clear of the exclamation?

[worldly fjord]

The exclamation mark on the daily season pass project can also cause this

You wont see the project if you dont have the pass, but the game keeps bothering you with this

[half karma]

is there any way that I can learn to filter gear in my bag a bit quicker? I mainly have just been keeping stuff in my bag if i see that it has DTOC since I think that's generally best for weapons but is there any point keeping them if it might require a lot of optimization and it's not exactly something that I'm looking for right now?

examples of stuff I have in my bag:

• Lightweight M4 w/ Behind You
• MG5 w/ Steady Handed
• Black Market M60 E6 w/ Future Perfect

Is there no point to holding onto these normal drops since I assume I can craft most of them? and just recraft one unless it's closer to a god roll and I can max it out and then just farm proficiency for it?

[heady veldt]

no.. from my own experience so far.. just look for a drop that has higher values.. it's not worth investing mats into trying to get it maxed out.. it's very expensive and you'll probably get a better version anyways.. especially since you can farm pretty much anything specificlaly

I have literally gotten everything like a trillion times with differnt drops.. and if you really really really want to get a specific roll it's cheaper to just craft it then to optimize

[half karma]

so an example of just finding better gear to optimize would this piece of HF gear be right?

[heady veldt]

yeah that's a good example.. that's a piece worth keeping

[half karma]

it rolled with maxed core and barely anything to optimize and its crit chance so it would genearlly work good with the HF gear set

[heady veldt]

as it requires very little optimization

[half karma]

ahh sweet okay that helps me understand what to keep then

[heady veldt]

optimization takes A LOT of materials.. it's VERY expensive

[half karma]

Yeah i've noticed that a bunch lately with some of the gear I've found and just kind of probably wasted materials on but still new so rip

[heady veldt]

yeah I generally keep if there is maybe 1 optimization needed on attributes and I have attributes I wanted.. otherwise scrapped

[half karma]

what would be stuff worth keeping, is it mainly named items that you would keep until you have the perfect rolls of those items? like with weapons anything with DTOC is usually what I've heard is good and then with gear sets I keep them if they have the right attributes maxed or close to full optimization?

[odd condor]

the lightweight M4 is definitely worth keeping until a literal triple perfect roll one drops

also you can't really recraft since crafting outside the 1-40 leveling process almost always results in something very poorly rolled

[heady veldt]

so far, and mind you I started playing recently too, I actually think named items are not that hard to do because you don't have to worry about attributes AND talent tinker, because on named items usually you can replace only attributes so if you have 2 out of 3 you can imprint the attribute you have in the library

unless they are "special" named items like white death for example where their talent can also be changed

[half karma]

ah interesting, so that's when the weapons are called replicas, right ?

[half karma]

what would make them special? do some just have a lower chance of dropping or only drop in certain content?

[odd condor]

any crafted weapon is a replica save for the last few seasons when they stopped caring to add that to the blueprint results

[odd condor]

White Death has a special fixed headshot damage stat roll that is always higher than what other sniper rifles can have

[heady veldt]

they are special because on those named items like white death you will get 137% headshot damage which is more than standard 111% and you can also change the talent.. usually on named items you can't change the talent because it comes with perfect variant of it

but there are few exceptions

[half karma]

ah yeah that's what i was wondering recently too, i'm working on a 1 shot build and was wondeing what pistols might be good to slot in there since i started running all directives recently and needed a decent pistol to get ammo

[heady veldt]

yeah I also don't know them by heart exactly which ones are all "special" named items.. but in most cases from what i've seen is that if the named item has the ability for their talent to be changed, then usually one of the other attributes is higher than normal.

[half karma]

makes sense

ty for answering the questions

[odd condor]

Primarily the 586 and 686 revolvers as they are the highest single shot damage options

There's a named version of the 686, The Harvest, that has a lower fire rate in exchange for even higher per shot damage, but it's a seasonal drop and I'm not sure if it currently drops

[soft sable]

good morning folks, i have a few questions

i've bought div 2 and wony on epic games and have been been playing since 2020/2021, but recently i've been thinking of upgrading to the ultimate edition for a few reasons, here's the main thing tho: the ultimate edition is on sale on steam, while the game copy i've owned for so long is, again, on epic

so i've been wondering if buying that steam copy would generate any kind of conflict or mess my progression somehow (tho i doubt it would mess progression, since we launch the game through ubi connect anyways), or maybe the epic copy just gets ignored completely in favor of the steam one, since it would be a better edition

i've been also wondering if the ultimate copy on steam is the same as advertised on ubi's website (which includes the BFB dlc, 1k credits, etc), which is something im not entirely sure since there's a 100 BRL price difference on both stores

any answers would be appreciated

[open mountain]

progress does transfer

the steam ultimate will not come with battle for brooklyn DLC as the price as is would be a loss in ubisoft's sales for brooklyn

[heady veldt]

well i guess I was wrong 🙂

[open mountain]

since steam and i presume epic both launch the game using ubisoft launcher

[heady veldt]

that's right! they do use Ubisoft account and mini launcher.. that makes sense yeah

[soft sable]

yeah, that tracks, the price difference was wayyyy too big for such a complete package

[bold tiger]

btw: you'll just be presented with at least 2 division 2 options. 1 to continue to launch off of Epic or Launch off of Steam

[soft sable]

and thank god progress is stored on ubi's side

[heady veldt]

100% right.. i remember now.. I actually bought the game first on Steam.. installed it.. but then we saw that Ultimate was $15 on Ubisoft, I requested a refund on steam and bought it on Ubisoft Connect and while it had 2 version of the game installed (in launcher) the progress did carry over

[bold tiger]

i'm a proud owner of a steam deck, so i bought it off of steam and my progress came along with it, just being able to launch through steam

[soft sable]

then i assume all i gotta do is pick the steam copy and enjoy the ultimate edition thingies, nice

i wonder if that 1K credits thing is part of the steam ultimate edition tho...

would surely be nice

[bold tiger]

should be, just know you'll have to fork over another 15-25 for brooklyn when it releases

[heady veldt]

@soft sable wouldn't it be better for you to just wait a bit and then get ultimate with brooklyn?

just curious

[next inlet]

How do I get this done if there’s not enough true sons bounties available? Do I have to just do them all for new ones to become available?

[bold tiger]

public executions i think? generates bounties?

[heady veldt]

I was about to say.. you can farm public executions

[soft sable]

im in a position where in a worst case scenario, i'd have to buy the dlc a week after it released, this money i'll be using now is just from a few things i've sold, so im pretty much chill

[heady veldt]

all good.. i was just curious.. since it's out in a few weeks anyways but you know best..

[bold tiger]

brooklyn will be 15 for base brooklyn and 25 where you get exclusive cosmetics i believe
what they are i don't think they showed them?

[soft sable]

im definitely sticking to the base edition for the moment lol

but anyhow, thanks for the answers folks

[bold tiger]

[next inlet]

Can they just be a random one? Or does it have to be the faction that I want the bounty to be?

[heady veldt]

I believe they are random.. but I never really checked when i got them

[odd condor]

yes it has to be from that faction

[next inlet]

I guess I’m going to have to use the power of trial and error 😭

[next inlet]

Oh okay nvm 😭

[odd condor]

Hostage rescue bounties are randomly generated, the Snitch also randomly generates a bounty in whichever neighborhood you find him in

[next inlet]

Also one last thing, you know those kneepads that give armor regen? I just made a tank build and have everything but that. Is it only a dark zone exclusive?

[odd condor]

Yes

[nimble spruce]

Emperors guards are dz, yes (or named caches, or you can get the blueprint from descent)

[odd condor]

you can try named item caches too as it can drop from them

[next inlet]

Can you also get the bp from decent?

[bold tiger]

that's what kettle just said, can get the blueprint from descent but won't be a guarantee as you're pulling from a pool of other blueprints they've thrown in there

[next inlet]

Oh sorry I didn’t see that last part 😭

[graceful carbon]

can you actually get the lexington or not?

[mellow trout]

Not currently

[mild zealot]

chat what is this Railsplitter gun I keep hearing of and where do you get one?

[bold tiger]

believe you hunt down the hunters and get a particular set of keys from them, 8 keys i believe? and go open up a chest with said key and get the gun

[mild zealot]

that's Splinterer

[bold tiger]

oh?
is there a railsplitter gun? only rail named weapon comes to mind is the one you just said

[odd condor]

Railsplitter is a CTAR-21 with Perfectly Accurate, so in theory it groups better

it's also brown by default

it's a DZ exclusive but can drop from named item caches, honestly would recommend that instead

I will admit to getting a triple godroll one off a random red mob in the DZ and frankly, the odds of that are really bad. The clenching experience is even worse for your health

[bold tiger]

ah, thanks. was like i don't remember any other weapon named rail in it XD

[muted ginkgo]

What is the difference betwee Battle for Brooklyn DLC and the Deluxe DLC version?

[coral charm]

Deluxe just comes with some cosmetics

[bold tiger]

was it just weapon cosmetics? or was there some gear?

[coral charm]

It’s entirely cosmetic, unless you’re referring to gear as apparel

[bold tiger]

yeah, like gear apparel stuff. changing the mask to look like something they want brooklyn agents to ahve as a look

[coral charm]

I’m not entirely sure what the Deluxe comes with but it will definitely come with an outfit

[bold tiger]

not a huge fan of the cosmetical stuff, but would just be good to know what it gives and passing on the info

[heady veldt]

@bold tiger @pseudo tundra lol

[indigo shoal]

Just saw a video recommending some kind of mod that goes on your backpack called rogue momentum or something like that? I don't think I've played the game since things like that were added.... Is there a certain way I acquire these mods?

[bold tiger]

modifiers?
last season was horrendous in getting a few passives and actives as you were gambling on Priority Objectives
so they moved it to the journey objectives you know, pick 6 of 8 things to complete them?

[indigo shoal]

So just completing the season journey. Will passively acquire them for me?

[heady veldt]

you should be able to get overdrive on journey step 3 i think, step 2 you will get 2 passive ones to help you get the momentum up faster.. and then the rest of them as you go through the journey steps

[indigo shoal]

Gotcha, thank you. I just started back playing again yesterday after a very long break so I'll have to figure all that out. Much appreciated!

[bold tiger]

welcome back, hopefully you'll be around may 27th for brooklyn release

[kind cave]

do I really need to decode binary to figure out what to do? 😅

[bold tiger]

pretty much or take to google and put in the scout and week and get the solutions

[kind cave]

cheers

[bold tiger]

pretty much what i did with youtube

[heady veldt]

here you go... all of them

[trim meadow]

So If I take over this control point this red line marked area, like public execution, territory control it'll vanish, I mean my officers gonna take care of it?

[bold tiger]

don't think so? but i'd say if you logged off and back on they'll probably be gone

[slim elk]

Nope, they will attack and friendlies may not win the battle

[rugged stratus]

no. public executions will be carried out and disappear after a time. you use those linked activities to drive up the level of the cp

[trim meadow]

Noob officer without me this city is nothing. .😂

[trim meadow]

Ahh, Like doomz said, I was hoping if I take over control point, will those friendly officers of mine can take over or clear the side areas. But they're noob without me

[bold tiger]

nope, all they do is sit at the control point with randomly spawned friend patrols or resource convoys

[trim meadow]

Just fast traveled after clearing this control point. Now the enemies took over again. Have to clear again. They're so useless

[mild zealot]

ah tnx for the tip

[crude falcon]

i miss Theo last season mission, is there a way for me get it again ?

[bold tiger]

Space Admin do that change mission from normal to theo parnell

[crude falcon]

how about Kelso mission in this season, i need to do all the scout thing first ?

[bold tiger]

yeah, and week 10 starts tomorrow

[crude falcon]

time to looking for some guide, hope reddit division have them

[bold tiger]

they weren't as hard as the few 1's and 0's they had for a season

[tribal jolt]

Am I not suppose to get exotics in Tower? I am at lvl 21 and have not gotten a single one

[pseudo tundra]

summit? it's random drop, you can get capacitor there if you do the challenges for it

difficulty and directives increase the odds of getting them

and when you say lv 21 you mean your character or the floor you were at?

[tribal jolt]

Yeah floor 21 - hard. I am after the bluescreen LMG. Always like playing some type of CC builds

[pseudo tundra]

did you put the targetted loot as LMGs to increase your odds?

[tribal jolt]

Yes sir

[pseudo tundra]

otherwise increasing the difficulty if you can should increase the odds also

other than that, it's RNG at the end of the day

[tribal jolt]

ok, I would need some type of carry then lol, Hard + is tough. I started playing 3 days ago

[next inlet]

Hey, does anyone know if stuff like shd watch bonuses and proficiency work in the dark zone or is it only pve?

[tribal jolt]

I would think they do since DEVs made the choice to make watch brackets

[next inlet]

What about the proficiency though?

Cause I’m at prof 12 at lvl 370 and idk if it’s working in the dz

[sudden matrix]

DZs allow watch/expertise where conflict allows neither.

[next inlet]

Ooo, okay thank you a lot

One last question, is it possible to get dttoc on Scorpio? I’ve been trying to get it for days now 😭

[sudden matrix]

Yep, just keep reconfiguring.

[dull marlin]

Uhhhh

When can I start doing settlement missions in the MSQ?

I just finished the first theater mission

[opal mantle]

New dlc up for preorder yet?

Fiddlesticks it isn’t

[wooden void]

whats a good setup for a returning player? i got the world on hard and still die alot

[foggy field]

Striker or hotshot with headhunter and determined There's a pinned message in #td2-build-advice that will help

[wooden void]

ty

[amber snow]

Is it true expertise 30 is next season?

[foggy field]

Looks like it
