I'm facing several UI bugs, Where should I submit report? In discord specific channel or Ubi website?

I would place a ticket at Ubisoft, but it could not hurt to put them in Discord as well.

I checked the division 2 official server status website and it said everything is running fine

#

BTW when are they going to officially support cross platform play? I have some friends that play the game on ps5 and im on pc and u would think it would be pretty easy to do since even on ps5 u have to create a ubisoft connect account

#

They could just use ubisoft connect as a bridge between consoles

nimble spruce

That's very unlikely to ever happen in this game

charred wigeon
#

Kinda like epic games did

cedar edge
nimble spruce
#

They've said they would have to completely rebuild the server architecture to enable cross play/cross save, it's too big a job for their small team and not worth the investment for such an old game

sounds like they're likely just on the same mike screen but because the game is open its still reporting them as playing

Maybe console servers are quicker to update, or there were less bug fixes in console world.

It's in early pre-production, likely to be a couple more years out yet.
And no, there's no way they'd do a 1-1 model of the whole US, that would be insane.

A chance to earn seasonal exotics - including unobtainable ones like the Ouroboros or Eagle Bearer

nimble spruce
# near ridge Best way to find them ?

they have a chance of appearing mid-mission or clearing a CP or exiting a safehouse, but if you really want to farm them then summit is probably fastest. You need a checkpoint floor that is NOT a boss floor and has a door before the exit that has to be opened to progress. Then just reset that floor and jump bettween lobby and floor until you get a 'rogue agents detected' notification.

Best not to ping mods directly unless it's a server emergency, Rivs is Australian and probably asleep.

Ooops, hey ho. I'm a admin on a Rust server sometimes waking up in the middle of the night is a good thing. loool

nimble spruce
# harsh hemlock what should i do?

I would say as a temporary workaround, head to NY. Each area has 5 shd caches and a big chest in the safehouse that you can use them to open. The chests have useless loot though so just ignore them and use the shd for your perk.

cedar edge
#

Can SHD be hidden if you have not walked past it? @nimble spruce

nimble spruce
#

Not in DC I don't think. Visiting the safehouse in each region should mark all shd in that area on the map, and the rest comes from clearly marked side missions and main missions. The hidden side missions don't reward shd iirc.

cedar edge

Hide everything but the SHD Tech.

the ones in NY are not clearly shown until you get near them though

Does anyone else have big issues with active directives?
I only want to activate special ammo but a lot of times it just switches to scavenged skills.
This is literally annoying af and i do not know whats happening.
Also Scavenged Skills seems to switch places in the order with special ammo a lot of times.
Sometimes Special Ammo is at the first spot in the list and sometimes Scavenged Skills is at the first Spot.
Anyone know how to fix the game switching the directives around? Its pretty hard as a skill build with the wrong directive.

I cant get Scavenged Skills to deactivate. 😦

And then people started to doing trade again and then in next season they again reset that in 15M people was angry cause after that first reset people earned next silver with their resource and ubi just take it like nothing happened.

I've been playing since the middle of March. Really enjoying it, but wish I had 999 exotic components, as I might be able to get my St Elmo to play nice. I spent 20 on it and it is not playing ball. loool

trim meadow
#

I played this much and got most of the exotic that I need to play the game doing priority objectives, and cache from project. I had no idea I complete it without knowing it every time. People here helped me a lot about learning this game mechanism a lot, Kettle is a nice guy he helped me most and there some other people who is active like mad man. So keep asking here hope everyone here will help you whenever they'll get chance.

Then again I did receive a very nice Negotiator gear set with nearly all maxed out attributes. So it's all good. 🙂

Don't save that skin in any of your loadouts, apparently it causes crashes

Yeah but a crash that occurs every time you highlight a loadout in your inventory is a bit worse. It's just that one skin though

Even two days ago we knew the season finished on 26th, they must have just forgotten to update the ingame timer. You could try opening a ticket with support, but tbh you can likely get to season lvl 100 in a few hours if you grind priority objective strongholds

# muted lance how

Idk I bought them since I had credits. opened them after completing Kelso mission and it gave me 950. Spent them on upgrading my builds guns and skills. Bought another ten opened them and it maxed me again. All but like 10 skills are 28 rn and my two main pve and 2 pvp builds and the good useful pve/pvp exotics and high end items are all lvl 28. Im ready asf for this dlc.

winter needle
#

It takes well over 2k exotic components to max that much though. Cause I didn’t even do the skills I don’t use. Everything was 12.

#

And I maxed maybe in total like 50 pieces. Rerolled three exotics to have dttoc. I personally have seen and can now be the guy that says that if they’re gonna take away mule characters that they need to make upgrade system after 20 or so a bit cheaper or it’s gonna be uber mind numbingly long to get there. I went through 2k exotic components fast as fk. Got stacked back up cause I got another 10 and got it maxed again for lvl30 but I spent 100 or so so that I can atleast still deconstruct my exo drops and get the exo comps. It’s gonna be drained on day 1 if 29 requires 10 per piece.

  1. Put scorpio in stash
  2. Take it out on another character
  3. Return to bugged character and save loadout with missing item
  4. Go to character with scorpio and transfer it back

i literally bought it monday cause i saw that i ahd 5 weeks to complete it

@nimble spruce with OD.. you mentioned you are running Centurion holster right? I see that on this type of build you are meant to swap weapons for the bonuses in damage etc.. what do you use for the second weapon talent? Vindictive?

harsh hemlock
nimble spruce
#

You can get both buffs on the same weapon if you switch from pistol to weapon and back a couple of times

heady veldt
#

ah.. got it.. vindictive seemed nice because of the swapping for that extra 21% crit chance and 20% crit damage for 20 seconds or something like that. I was just curious if you used it.

nimble spruce
nimble spruce

Crit chance is already maxed and crit damage is a lot less valuable than the amplified damage from sadist

heady veldt

what do you run on Carnage.. crit chance or dmg to armor as 3rd?

#

i see a lot of people running crit chance

nimble spruce
#

Can't remember. Prob crit chance but tbh I use the AR most of the time, just not a fan of how lmgs feel

#

Plus you can't use your bulletproof shield at max momentum with the lmg

heady veldt
#

I'm trying all kinds of versions on OD to see what fits my play style.. I have like 80% bleed resistance and I'm runing Backfire.. the damage is great and I am so used to running and gunning so I need the shield but I'm also so spoiled on reviver not sure how to solve proccing first status kill... I've been using Foam grenade but it's a bit unreliable as they run away from it..

#

80% bleed resist is fine for backfire.. it only hurts you for like a second.. not a problem.. but still not fully figured out how to consistently apply that status when I need it

Like I said, I don't really use the lmg much as I don't like the feel of it. The large mag is handy for extra tanky enemies though.

So the chest/knee/back/gloves in this section are also appearance mods but they arent from any of the normal gear. These are either premium purchased/apparel event type items.

Just slap it on the Gear you really like to squeeze a little bit more damage out, its costly

glacial vector

yea it does get expensive but its really for your favorite gear

the tl;dr is that on guns, its based off the weapon damage before/as red cores are applied, not after.
So for example, 20% Expertise is not a 20% buff.

The Division 2: Damage Calculation and Buckets Guide

Since I am a fairly new player to Division 2, I was trying to understand how damage works in the game. So I'm writing this guide to shed some light on how damage is calculated in Tom Clancy's The Division 2, thanks to the work of community over the years and testing, including the distinction between additive and multiplicative bonuses and how damage buckets are organized. It is designed to help other players like me, who are newer to the game and were curious to learn and understand and optimize builds and maximize damage output.

Overview of Damage Calculation

Damage in The Division 2 starts with a base damage value (from weapons or skills) and applies modifiers from various categories, or "buckets." Within each bucket, bonuses are additive, and across buckets, they are multiplicative. The simplified damage formula for a single shot (e.g., a critical headshot) is:

Damage Dealt = Base Damage × (1 + Sum of Additive Bonuses in Bucket 1) × (1 + Sum of Additive Bonuses in Bucket 2) × ... × (1 + Multiplicative Bonus 1) × (1 + Multiplicative Bonus 2) × ...

Each bucket represents a category of damage modifiers, and the game multiplies the results of each bucket to compute the final damage.

#

The Division 2: Damage Buckets Deeper Dive

Damage bonuses are grouped into buckets, with bonuses within a bucket being additive and buckets being multiplicative with each other. The primary buckets for weapon damage are:

  1. Base Damage + Weapon Damage (AWD and Weapon Type Damage):

    • Includes: Base weapon damage, All Weapon Damage (AWD), Weapon Type Damage (e.g., LMG Damage, AR Damage), certain talents.
    • Behavior: Additive within the bucket. E.g., +15% AWD + 10% LMG Damage = 1 + 0.15 + 0.10 = 1.25 multiplier.
    • Notes: Forms the damage foundation, multiplicative with other buckets. Overstacking leads to diminishing returns.
  2. Critical Hit Damage (CHD) + Headshot Damage (HSD):

    • Includes: Critical Hit Damage (CHD), Headshot Damage (HSD).
    • Behavior: Additive within the bucket. For a critical headshot, multiplier is 1 + CHD + HSD. E.g., +50% CHD + 60% HSD = 1 + 0.50 + 0.60 = 2.10.
    • Notes: Critical Hit Chance (CHC) determines CHD application but isn’t part of the multiplier. Multiplicative with other buckets.
  3. Amplified Damage (Total Weapon Damage Bonuses):

    • Includes: Bonuses labeled "Total Weapon Damage" or "Amplified Damage" (e.g., Glass Cannon, Intimidate, Striker’s Gearset), Damage to Targets Out of Cover (DTOOC), Damage to Armor (DTA), Damage to Health (DTH).
    • Behavior: Additive within the bucket, multiplicative with others. E.g., +25% Glass Cannon + 30% DTOOC = 1 + 0.25 + 0.30 = 1.55.
    • Notes: Highly valuable due to multiplicative scaling. “Amplified” or “Total” often indicates multiplicative behavior.
  4. Enemy-Specific Damage (e.g., Damage to Armor, Damage to Targets Out of Cover):

    • Includes: Damage to Armor (DTA), Damage to Targets Out of Cover (DTOOC). Damage to Elites (DTE) is rare but exists on specific mods.
    • Behavior: Typically multiplicative with other buckets. E.g., +10% DTA = 1 + 0.10 = 1.10 multiplier against armored enemies.
    • Notes: Crucial for PvE against armored enemies or those out of cover. DTE is less common post-Warlords of New York.
  5. Talent-Specific Multiplicative Bonuses:

    • Includes: Unique multiplicative talents (e.g., Intimidate, Focus, Aces & Eights, Eclipse Protocol).
    • Behavior: Applied as separate multipliers, often forming their own bucket. E.g., 1 + talent bonus.
    • Notes: Conditional talents (e.g., proximity for Intimidate, scoping for Focus) are usually multiplicative. Verify talent descriptions or test in-game.
  6. Skill Damage (Separate for Skills):

    • Includes: Skill-specific bonuses (Skill Tiers, +Skill Damage, skill-boosting talents like Ongoing Directive).
    • Behavior: Additive within skill damage categories, multiplicative with other buckets. Some weapon damage bonuses (e.g., Total Weapon Damage) may apply to skills like Assault Turret.
    • Notes: Skill builds prioritize +Skill Damage and talents. Weapon damage interactions are complex.

curious does flanking an enemy count for the out of cover bonus or do they gotta be moving?

glacial vector
#

damn if only it counted flanking

heady veldt
#

Damage Buckets Summary

  • Bucket 1: Weapon Damage: AWD, Weapon Type Damage, certain talents (additive).
  • Bucket 2: Critical Hit + Headshot: CHD, HSD (additive).
  • Bucket 3: Amplified Damage: Total Weapon Damage, DTOOC, DTA, DTH, talents like Glass Cannon (additive).
  • Bucket 4: Enemy-Specific: DTA, DTOOC, rare DTE (often separate).
  • Bucket 5: Talent-Specific: Unique multiplicative talents (e.g., Intimidate, Focus).
  • Skill Damage: Separate buckets, with some weapon damage overlap.
heady veldt
#

Practical Example of Damage Calculation

For a critical headshot with:

  • Base Weapon Damage: 10,000
  • Weapon Damage: +50% AWD, +15% LMG Damage
  • Critical Hit and Headshot: +100% CHD, +60% HSD, 50% CHC (assume critical headshot)
  • Amplified Damage: +25% Glass Cannon, +30% DTOOC
  • Enemy-Specific: +10% DTA
  • Talent-Specific: +35% Intimidate (active when enemies are within 10m)

Calculation:

  1. Weapon Damage Bucket:

    • 0.50 + 0.15 = 0.65
    • 1 + 0.65 = 1.65
    • 10,000 × 1.65 = 16,500
  2. CHD + HSD Bucket:

    • 1.00 + 0.60 = 1.60
    • 1 + 1.60 = 2.60
    • 16,500 × 2.60 = 42,900
  3. Amplified Damage Bucket:

    • 0.25 + 0.30 = 0.55
    • 1 + 0.55 = 1.55
    • 42,900 × 1.55 = 66,495
  4. Enemy-Specific Bucket (DTA):

    • 1 + 0.10 = 1.10
    • 66,495 × 1.10 = 73,144.5
  5. Talent-Specific Bucket (Intimidate):

    • 1 + 0.35 = 1.35
    • 73,144.5 × 1.35 = 98,745.075

Final Damage: 98,745 for a critical headshot against an armored enemy out of cover with Intimidate active.

Notes: Adjust CHD+HSD for non-critical or non-headshot scenarios. Additional talents add further multipliers.

Practical Build Damage Optimization

  • Diversify Buckets: Spread bonuses across buckets for higher damage (e.g., Amplified Damage over more Weapon Damage).
  • Prioritize Multiplicative Bonuses: Talents like Glass Cannon, Intimidate, DTOOC, or Focus scale better than additive Weapon Damage.
  • Test in Shooting Range: Verify talent behavior (e.g., Sadist may be multiplicative despite labeling) due to inconsistencies.[]
  • Balance CHC and CHD: Multiply CHC by CHD to estimate impact. Optimize based on build needs, not fixed ratios.
  • Enemy-Specific Bonuses: DTA and DTOOC are vital for Heroic/Legendary PvE content. DTE is rare but useful when available.

Conclusion

Damage in The Division 2 is calculated by multiplying base damage by additive bonuses within buckets (e.g., Weapon Damage, CHD+HSD) and multiplicative bonuses across buckets or from unique talents. Optimizing a build consists of diversifying buckets, prioritizing multiplicative bonuses, and testing in-game.

though the buff names are from div1

heady veldt
#

I was looking around all kinds of info so feel free to correct me so I can update.. this was a useful research

wispy merlin
#

i'd recommend finding some posts that give you the actual formula

#

if you have specific questions on what multiplier a buff applies to or in general what a buff actually does, just ask here. some tooltips lie to you

rugged stratus
hollow girder
#

i see alot of people useing technician as specalist is that skill tree that good?

heady veldt
#

okay.. I updated the damage research I did above.. I also included the links (the one from @wispy merlin ) and another one.

rugged stratus
hollow girder
#

i see should i also use that eventho im useing the shield whit revive hive i dont think they benefit from the skilltier or do they get stronger?

slate solstice
#

does anyone have the capitol building un locked need it for a priority obj

heady veldt
#

@wispy merlin so after this research.. I can give you my thought again about Focus being so strong. It IS multiplicative. Since it belongs as a separate multiplier (it's own bucket) in the final overall calculation with other buckets, it becomes actually 60% multiplicative addition to overall calculation. That's why it's so strong. Since some of these talents are treated as their own bucket.

wispy merlin
#

it is multiplicative and additive at the same time

heady veldt
# wispy merlin now you understand my whole point

it is additive to it's own bucket.. right.. so if there was another talent that fell into that Focus bucket, they would be additive 1+0.6(Focus) + x.x (whatever) but since this is a bucket on it's own that 60% is now multiplied with other buckets.. so it's multiplicative to overall damage, additive in it's own bucket but since it's alone there's nothing to add it to 🙂 But yeah I get your point now what you meant to say.

rugged stratus
wispy merlin
#

yes, i'm glad you put in the time to research

rugged stratus
#

Tech class also has linked laser that pulses npc when aimed. Another reason you probably see heartbreaker users on that class

wispy merlin
#

even if it is paired with vigi which is 25% twd, it still is among the best

#

you can see why people panic over streamline

hollow girder
heady veldt
#

Tech laser is OP this season since it makes people pulse and I believe it works with Microwave Coils too.. but don't take my word on that

rugged stratus
#

It does

#

Any pulse including hb headshots and flatline pulses

hollow girder
#

is there a way to farm the points for the skill tree fast?

rugged stratus
#

Invaded stuff

#

Weekly projects

#

Leveling should give some

#

Rewards will show when you highlight something

hollow girder
#

so inavded and level should be the quickest then?

rugged stratus
#

Yeah

pseudo tundra
#

i think bounties might also give some points?

hollow girder
#

so these 3 ok got it thank you

#

btw is it just any bounty or specific

rugged stratus
#

Rewards will show spec points if they give

glacial vector
#

Exodus gloves any good? smoke bomb ability seems meh

hollow girder
#

do i need to equip the weapon from the tree to get the points or is having it in my back pack ok aswell?

rugged stratus
#

Use of launcher makes no difference

hollow girder
#

apreciatet all the help from you guys ❤️

#

friendly community

pseudo tundra
#

so it serves like a second wind

glacial vector
#

wait the smoke counts as out of combat? damn

mint anchor
#

where is the final main mission in divison 2

pseudo tundra
#

since it's gloves that means it wont be fighting for talent slot like chest and backpack

pseudo tundra
#

the current season mission which is the last in terms of contente added and plot got released yesterday if you are done with the season

glacial vector
#

wait since im killing hunters will they despawn if the smoke pops?

pseudo tundra
#

i dont think so

#

cant comment on puzzle hunters honestly

#

so just assuming they de-aggro for couple of seconds

pseudo tundra
#

are you level 40?

glacial vector
#

yea im going after the hidden ones

rugged stratus
#

Idk either

mint anchor
#

not the expansion

pseudo tundra
glacial vector
#

i can respawn a puzzle hunter right? wanna test the exodus smoke on them

rugged stratus
#

May need to wait in game day/night cycle or possibly daily reset. But should be able to respawn

slate solstice
#

can i not complete any journey obj in the range anymore?

wispy merlin
#

nope

Guys, don't equip the exotic skin on the scorpion, as it has bugs and can crash the game.

glacial vector
#

wait you can get two named from one cache?

pseudo tundra
#

yeah

dull marlin
#

What do dark zones offer exactly? Exclusive gear that you can only get there?

slim elk
#

basically

glacial vector
#

#

they can drop in certain caches/vendors tho

dull marlin
# glacial vector yep

Ah okay, how do I know if I pick up an item that’s DZ exclusive? I’m new and I’m trying to fart around with builds but I’m not sure what I’m looking for

cedar yacht
#

Other than a miracle raid drop the dz named exclusive can be gotten in named/legacy caches

glacial vector

does raid and incursion exotics drop in open world now?

Is the birdies quick fix bag talent bugged?

good morning all, i bought the base game some years ago and now i wonder if there will be a way to upgrade to the new gold orultimate edition? or just buy the delc separatley?

bold tiger
tiny totem
heady veldt
#

I remember people mentioning contractor gloves.. worth keeping these?

bold tiger
heady veldt
#

is DTA inherent drop on Contractor Gloves? or it's just a random thing on these attributes? since it's named item?

bold tiger
#

extremely long long time ago, those 3 pieces was a must on every build but they nerfed hollowman so now it's just the contractors and fox's

heady veldt
#

yeah I've seen them mentioned in builds quite a bit

mellow trout
#

Have to buy the DLC separately or get a bundle

@graceful path The Activities for a particular scout number are always within the same zone as each other.

are the raids set higher or lower then heroic?

heady veldt
wispy merlin

it's a bit higher than heroic, and it's not including mechanics

does invaded dz have better loot?

cedar edge
#

I scrap most of the pickups. The only difference I have found, it could be just me being daft, but it seems to have more vicious NPCs and a few more PVP types.

#

Whats the fastest way to farm shd levels?

cedar edge
#

Projects, Priority missions and high level CPs/convoys. Long missions seem to have a good XP rate also.

#

Check what the rewards are for doing missions and you will see which are worth it.

It's doable to finish pretty quick though, especially since all the objectives are known now.

Anyone still getting 999 exotic components from the new event cache?

I haven't for a while

lilac pewter

I tried it yesterday and I got bounced back

#

However, I started the scout missions and already on scout 10 so you can breeze through them quickly

cedar edge

Is there a way to show Gear Mods in a list. i.e. all Crit damage, crit chance etc etc as they are all mixed up and difficult to see which I can delete to save space?

oak gazelle
cedar edge
#

I've tried all the 'X' options, but they are always mixed up.

nimble spruce
#

When you go to apply a gear mod you can filter by type, not sure if you can mark as junk from that menu though

cedar edge
#

How daft that you cannot do it in the inventory.

oak gazelle
#

Ahh I see, you want to sort them by attribute, that's not possible, sadly.

cedar edge
#

Thank you guys. What a shame that is not possible, makes deleting them rather more difficult than necessary.

#

I can use Filter options to see which I want to delete, then go back and hunt for them in the long list. Hey ho.

nimble spruce
#

Yeah the whole mod system (especially skill mods) is due a revamp.
It's a good idea to just try and keep on top of them, don't keep more than 3 of the useful ones (except maybe pfe), and don't keep any of the useless ones. Whenever you get a new one, either immediately mark as junk or swap it in if it's better than an existing one

cedar edge
#

You make it sound like I know what the heck I am doing. Thank you, but I really don't. lool

do w eknow something about the div 3?

in trello "Inconsistent Hunter Mask rewards in groups"

It's mentioned, does it mean getting a wolf mask at random is a bug?

wispy shoal

Oh, my...

I think I caught 4 hunters 6 times today, but I didn't get a wolf mask. I can't believe it was a bug

do dz landmarks grant season xp?

Should I recalibrate to run +15% shotgun damage OR just replace +7% crit damage with +8% crit chance? My shotgun in my build currently has 44% crit chance and 74% crit damage

cedar edge
#

Has the 800+ Exotic recalibration bug been fixed? I have now completed two 'stretch' caches and once again only received 1 Exotic Recal.

#

Not gonna cry as I was awarded a Bullet King whilst doing a Priority Mission. YEEHAW!

hello! my friend has a problem: he reached level 40 and raised up the difficulty adding some directives, he didnt add the "scavenged skills", but he does drop and need the "skill parts" from that directive for use skills.. is it a bug or what? (he already tried to restart the game, change difficulty again atc)

pseudo tundra

special ammo for some reason is also activating scavanged skills due a bug
