Regulus Hunter's Fury https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mWk2Jgg8uJX3hkturWAET95gizwVHReoOOayO-ixe6U/edit?tab=t.0

[limpid sequoia]

ty

[weak finch]

best exotic in the entire franchise: Regulus

[limpid sequoia]

damn no 3 pc imminence for the high end variant?

is it not as good?

[wispy merlin]

it's good but not an upgrade over the one we have

it doesn't do anything new

[lament hemlock]

It's not? Those 60% Pistol Damage sounded like a massive buff for the high end version.

[wispy merlin]

yeah but you're not one-shotting anything higher with it that you couldn't with the previous one, plus for one-shot builds you want hsd over weapon damage anyway

i mean one-shot as in achilles builds btw, not headhunter

[lament hemlock]

I read about the whole headhunter stuff like difference between normal and perfect and the whole first shot and capped shot stuff but at the end I was more confused than before^^

[wispy merlin]

that paragraph i wrote just basically means perfect hh has more of an impact than higher cap shot because you're more likely to suffer from not having a high enough second stack but yeah

[lament hemlock]

Oh you wrote the headhunter synergy guide! nice! Yeah that makes sense.

Thanks for the explanation ^^

[raven mountain]

​​if you wear Acosta's Kneepads, and someone is pulsing you, do you get the movement speed buff?

[limpid sequoia]

what would be better in the long run, the high end version or the hunter's fury version

[wispy merlin]

depends on the content, in legendary you'd use hunter's fury, in raids you want the high end one

[weak finch]

Can you explain roleplay please?

[umbral marsh]

When you pretend that your character is real and has real reactions to things that happen in the game world as opposed to just running around all over the place like COD.

[subtle pier]

Is there a way to get the three lost ellis memos in present day?

[inner tendon]

@umbral marsh We have some people like that occasionally, but your best bet is to find a clan for it down in #td2-clan-recruitment, outside of that, just LFG like normal in #lfg-playstation

[west onyx]

is purist (season pass smg) not in the pool?! i've been spamming smg targeted loot all day and I've gotten a backfire, like 8 other named smg's but no purist

[cold pumice]

Only after you unlock it from the season pass I believe

[west onyx]

ah no wonder

do u think it'll get added after this season? I just started playing again and I'm super far

[cold pumice]

Yes seasonal weapons enter the main loot pool once the season is over

[west onyx]

in 6w5days do u think i can reach 54? how hard is it to get tiers

im at 22 rn

[cold pumice]

Easy. Just do priority objectives and do the journeys.

I finished the entire thing in just over 2 weeks I think

[west onyx]

ty; im locking in

[gleaming wigeon]

What is endorsing another agent mean as I've had this twice today?

[inner tendon]

It gives them points in a "Shepard Rank", which is basically what people get for helping out other Agents by answering calls for backup, etc.

You should always endorse, there's no limit to the daily endorsements or anything.

[gleaming wigeon]

Happy to help but what does it actually do?

[inner tendon]

Basically nothing, except you get a patch at the "end", and after enough rankups, you also get access to a specific gun, I think that's still the case.

Think of it as a tiny incentive to help out fellow players.

[gleaming wigeon]

Hmm, Needs further investing, But thanks again 👍

[valid vigil]

Hello! I'm trying to get the Carbon Mask. Did the boxes and got the key from the spawned heavy. But this door is always open and I can't seem to get the mission too. Retried 4 times now 🙁 Am i doing something wrong?

[quiet fossil]

For the hunter, you don't need the side mission. If the door is open, perfect! Go into the building, turn right somewhere and go into the big room. There is a long table with the laptop you have to interact with to spawn the hunter.

[valid vigil]

I'll try that thanks!!

[valid vigil]

Damn, a million thanks! That worked lol

[plain galleon]

Need your help as to where can i farm those faction optimization materials, i have very few and i dunno where to farm them?

[nimble spruce]

Named faction bosses (from missions, bounties, lvl 4 control points) drop them, or you can craft them if you've unlocked the blueprint

[pure valley]

can u still get death roll outfit?

[nimble spruce]

Not at the moment but it will likely come back at some point.

Keep an eye on #divashion as people tend to post each Tuesday what the new/returning apparel items are

[nocturne siren]

It'll for sure come back. As for when? Who knows. Check every Tuesday and occasionally check on Thursdays

[prisma girder]

I heard in a video that if you optimize first, you can’t recalibrate afterwards. Is it referred to the specific attribute you optimized or to all attributes? is that even correct?

[umbral marsh]

Ty

[cold pumice]

You can't recalibrate a slot thats been optimised

So if you recalibrate a slot, you can recalibrate that slot as many times as you want.

But if you optimise it, you'll no longer be able to change it

[prisma girder]

Okk thanks

[cold pumice]

Just a side note. This is NOT true for Exotic Reconfigure.

Its a waste to optimise slots before reconfiguring as you could still roll lower stats

[prisma girder]

Of course

Also exotics all have the same attributes except st Elmo’s and imperium, but you can reconfigure the third to something else random, right? Like chameleon always have rate of fire as third, but I could recon and get something else

[inner tendon]

I'd honestly not worry about optimising anything yet, playing on higher difficulties means your overall rolls will be better for free.

[prisma girder]

Ye ye, just trying to understand the system

[inner tendon]

tl;dr don't bother adding anything to a gun that's not a recal/mods unless the stats are already at least 80% of the way to flawless.

[prisma girder]

Oke, thanks

[prisma girder]

I didn’t know recal is ok even if other rolls aren’t high

I mean, unless they’re complete trash I guess

[inner tendon]

It's more about the ease of being able to find other copies, and the farm for those other copies getting you other needed resources.
Div2 is very much a "marathon, not a sprint" kinda game. It's meant to be incremental increases to everything, and take literal years to get there.

[prisma girder]

I see

[prisma girder]

So did they change the way exos attributes drop? Cuz in a video it said that the same weapon always had the same third attribute? Except like st Elmo’s

[nimble spruce]

Used to be all exotics had fixed attributes yeah, then they changed it so the third attribute on all exotic weapons could be changed. The only exotic gear item that can change is acostas knees

[prisma girder]

I see thanks, it’s kinda confusing because usually videos are at least a year old so I dunno what’s current anymore

On basic stuff

[inner tendon]

Asking on this server is no hassle, everyone started out where you are now.

[delicate flower]

Does Pestilence still only drop in DZ?

[cold pumice]

No.

It does have a higher chance though in DZ

[delicate flower]

okie dokie. TY

[minor ferry]

Does more status effect stat make Oxidizer Chem launcher do more damage?

[nimble spruce]

No, it's not a status. Oxi damage is boosted by damage to armour and dtooc though.

[minor ferry]

what? so if i switch to a primary with DTOOC then it will deal 10% more dmg? wtf

[nimble spruce]

You can have both dtooc and dta on capacitor (as well as the skill damage stacks), so yeah

[minor ferry]

that seems kinda unintended ngl

its an attribute on the gun, it should only affect that gun

[mellow trout]

Attributes have extended to skills for forever

It's just only a handful actually benefit from it

[nimble spruce]

Check the oxi build guide in the pinned spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice for the optimal set-up.

[minor ferry]

do skills have crit chance?

[mellow trout]

Namely explosives and oxi

[nimble spruce]

Skills can't crit, no

Dta actually affects a bunch of skills (mostly explosive ones) while dtooc only affects oxi and I think burster firefly

[minor ferry]

Does BigHorn have a chance to drop at non-boss floors in legendary summit?

[mellow trout]

No

It only drops from bosses themselves

[minor ferry]

@mellow trout are bosses only every 10th floor?

[mellow trout]

Yea

[nimble spruce]

Iirc at higher levels you get an extra boss on some floors, but only one and generally you don't have a checkpoint at the start of those floors so it's much more time consuming to farm them

[cold pumice]

I think floor 90 has 3? iirc

been a while though

[cold pumice]

It's also a flat 5% drop rate. Nothing can affect that, just an fyi

Targetted loot and directives do nothing

[nimble spruce]

I was thinking of the 'unusual hostile fireteam' enemies you get, I think on higher floors ending in 3, 6 and 9. It's been a while though.
For boss floors though, yes 90 has three named enemies

[cold pumice]

Yeah those are hostile lieutenants, they don't drop Bighorn i don't think

[nimble spruce]

If they include a named enemy then I don't see why they wouldn't

[cold pumice]

you're right, they do

[wraith ridge]

what is the requirement for the manhunt this season, how many scouts do I need to complete?

[nimble spruce]

The manhunt finale isn't out yet, iirc there's only 3 of the scouts you will need to unlock it, only one of them out so far - look for the different icons on the manhunt week tracker

[wraith ridge]

only 8 and 12 are the HVTs

[nimble spruce]

Just those two then

[wraith ridge]

thank you

[cosmic island]

Police m4 or Custom p416 g3?

[hushed nymph]

The descent… I have priority objective to do it once but damn do I get wrecked quick. First time doing it tho, any tips?

[inner tendon]

#td2-descent will be the best place to ask, you'll get a better focus over there.

[cold pumice]

M4, Famas and F2000 are amongst the best ARs

[gleaming wigeon]

Having trouble finding General Ridgeway to do my Gunner class research

[cold pumice]

General Ridgeway is the boss of the Capitol building....literally always spawns....

[slim elk]

Spawns after you attach the case to the helo

[cold pumice]

Lfg channels

[cosmic island]

K so the Custom P416 G3 is not that good. Too bad I like the look of the gun more than the M4 for example

[pseudo tundra]

it's not bad

just not the best

you can honestly use almost any weapon in this game as long you use it right

no funny thing like using pistols only hotshot or sniper hunters fury

[gleaming wigeon]

Any idea what the open world objective is for Gunner research level 5?

[cold pumice]

A hint as to what it says would help

[gleaming wigeon]

"Free Range
Complete open world activities"
7 to do

[pseudo tundra]

then it can be anything i assume

bounties, hostage rescue, public execution, territorycontorl, control points

[cold pumice]

Literally just do anything in the open world...

[gleaming wigeon]

Ok thanks

[gleaming wigeon]

Trying to complete my Gunner field research, I just need turned to stone which is "Destroy all of the Basilisk's armour before defeating him on Roosevelt island" I don't know how many pieces of armour he has but I destroyed his body armour, Helmet and backpack and didn't get the objective

[slim elk]

All 4 limbs, Helmet, Vest.
I recommend using a sniper and removing the Vest or Helmet at last

Try to melee bait him and then wait until he stands up completely then take the shot right before he attack again

[tough marsh]

There's chest and backpack too

[slim elk]

I never noticed his backpack lol

[gleaming wigeon]

So both legs and arms?

[slim elk]

yup

[gleaming wigeon]

Damn 😒

[gleaming wigeon]

Thanks I'll try for a 3rd time and see how it goes

[tough marsh]

Alternatively you can strip all his armor at once by dealing explosive damage

[slim elk]

that too, lower the difficulty also

[gleaming wigeon]

This works?

[tough marsh]

Explosive damage deals damage to all armor parts equally

[slim elk]

it might not be perfect but that's how I got him

[lament hemlock]

As far as I know you can even use oxidizer

[cosmic island]

Which one should I use on defender drone?

[gleaming wigeon]

Attempt number 3, Here we go 😮‍💨

[cosmic island]

Im using it with the Artificer Hive for it to last longer btw. So dont know if its beter to have duration or deflect duration.

[gleaming wigeon]

No scoped his ass, Finally 😀😃😄😁😆

[gaunt ice]

Aight got a question, joined a incursion lobby earlier and instanty got flamed for running a regen backfire build, telling me i’ll be kicked if i dont go full red, however every single time ive tried it those same people die almost instantly yet still complain and kick me after , should i fold and run full red to get kicked less or keep the build ?

[slim elk]

dump them, they shouldn't do that.
They should teach you how Incursion is run with proper builds

[lament hemlock]

^ this

[slim elk]

If you get people who don't have patience to teach Incursion then it's better to leave and look for friendly groups

[lament hemlock]

Yeah look for a group via discord. Matchmaking the incursion is a hit or miss kinda thing

[slim elk]

gcrock is suuuper newbie friendly in terms of Teaching Raids, try it out, they don't leave until the job is finished

I mean, compared to the xbox lfg feature, it's way better

[gaunt ice]

Yeah thanks makes no sense how they’re so angry the build litteraly friessss aswell tho 120% crit damage 57% chance with striker plus backfire talent, full stacks give me over a mil damage per bullet with 40k regen and 1.5mil armour

[gaunt ice]

I’ll be sure to try it out thankss

[pallid lake]

What are the destructible red electrical boxes on walls during missions for?

[wispy merlin]

shocking enemies nearby

[gleaming wigeon]

If I have repair skills repairing my armour is armour regen doing the same thing?

[rugged stratus]

repair skills improve the ability of your skills that actively repair you. regen is directly related to the amount of armor you have and is always on

repair skills also apply to artificer even tho it isnt direct armor repair

if you just mean are they roughly the same thing, armor regen or a skill repairing you, then yeah, basically. one may be faster or slower

[gleaming wigeon]

Ok thanks, So what's artifcer?

[rugged stratus]

tech class skill. its a hive, and can repair your shield or improve your skill damage by applying a boost. also doesnt need to be dropped and will passively hit you every 10 seconds when you have a skill deployed

[gleaming wigeon]

Only use shield and fixer drone really, I'm still in the learning phase as my SHD is only 164

[rugged stratus]

so i pair something like that with memento and a skill tier picaros. with tech class it puts artificer at tier 3 and applies 48%-60% shield *repair every 10 seconds. on a tier 4 bulwark this is around 4.5m-6m shield health every 10 seconds. the ranges given depend on memento stacks at the time. but with no stacks at all its roughly 4.5m shield repair. itll be less on a crusader shield tho, but still a strong repair.
its a lot to take in, but key point is both artificer and memento can be very strong if used correctly

memento would also help that fixer a lot

ig it skilltier claws out holster on this alt

[gleaming wigeon]

I understood about half of that but I'm I'm hooked on the game so eager to learn, I hear terms like build synergy get used and tbh don't really know what makes a good build but my current one works well on heroic for my cover to cover playstyle but I'm tinkering constantly to see how results vary

[rugged stratus]

building is the main draw for me. there is always interesting ways to go about it. what are you mainly running?

[gleaming wigeon]

You mean build wise or game mode?

[rugged stratus]

build wise

[gleaming wigeon]

Ninjabike, 3 piece bullwerk, 2 piece richter & kaiser slap repair skills in every mod slot pestilence and thorn for run and gun

[blazing wraith]

Cassie empty inventory bug is driving me crazy. Relogged-in 5 times in a row to no avail. 😭

6

[rugged stratus]

youll definitely want to check out the pinned sheet in #td2-build-advice . tons of build guides.
bulwark can hold you back a bit because its trading damage for survivability. good sets to look into would be heartbreaker/hunters fury/umbra. all 3 are damage sets with some survivability built in to the talents

[gleaming wigeon]

Will do, Thank you 👍

How do I make DZ credits? 🤔

[mellow trout]

Deconstruct gear and loot boxes in the DZ then extract

[gleaming wigeon]

Oh I see, I extracted the gear instead, 🙄 Thanks 👍

[limpid sequoia]

when is the next xp event?

[inner tendon]

There's a Clan XP Event going on right now, you can see all upcoming Events ingame if you go to the event tab and scroll over.
Exact dates might change though.

[limpid sequoia]

clan xp doesn't contribute to watch xp though

[mellow trout]

Xp nonetheless

[inner tendon]

If you're looking for a x3 or x5 SHD Watch XP, we've had 2 this Season already, so it's possible we won't have any more.
Only way to find out is to log on and check.

[gleaming wigeon]

Weapon damage or critical hit? 🤔

[summer basalt]

Can birdies quick fix drop from master (not the guaranteed one at the end)? If so, what’s the drop rate?

[slim elk]

what you trying to build?

[gleaming wigeon]

Anything that reduces time to kill

[sinful lion]

well doesnt that narrow it down

[cosmic island]

Which should I use on a defender drone? Also seems kinda weird that defender drone does not scale with blue cores and yellow like shield. Seems like it should.

[strange prairie]

Hello is it still possible to obtain the shepherd assault rifle?

I’m shepherd rank 25 is that helps too

[nimble spruce]

Caretaker? It'll likely be in the loot goblins drop pool next time there's a seasonal project type event

[worldly fjord]

No not as of now

[worthy tundra]

are there any tips/tricks to get this particular Shotgun Mod (Flexible Tubular Spring)?

[nimble spruce]

What does it say the source is over to the right?

[worthy tundra]

summit/CP3 some general random. but maybe there's some tips/trick

coz that's too long 😄

[nimble spruce]

No, just running lots of CPs is the way, it's a big pool of possible blueprints but you'll get them all in the end

[worthy tundra]

sigh.. okay then. I'll wait until 5x EXP event live on server to farm it 😄

[nimble spruce]

With a decent headhunter setup you can clear a cp in about 3m, even on heroic+all directives

[worthy tundra]

yes, i'll combine it with SHD levelling next week 😄

[inner tendon]

@gaunt ice You're looking for #lfg-playstation, GL Agent

[cold pumice]

Nope.

Its RnG

[still salmon]

hi guys, got a question a bout the expertise
when i press X to give the crap/junk, what's this scrap ? cause when i mark my gear as scrap, it wont disappear when i press X to give scrap

[nimble spruce]

Expertise can only take donations of items that aren't already proficient, as donations only go towards their own proficiency class (eg donating striker gear increases proficiency for striker only, if it's already proficient it won't donate)

[rugged stratus]

Any leftover junk after donating can be deconstructed and if you are full up on some mats from decon, then donate mats directly to skills you hate or items you may not have like some of the exclusive exotics

Protective fabric/reciever components/printer filament seem to fill up a lot for me when deconstructing a lot of items

[still salmon]

@nimble spruce @rugged stratus thx a lot guys !! 😄
to donate items to increase proficiency, do i have to mark the items as scrap ? or is it automatic ?

[nimble spruce]

If you want to make use of the 'donate all junk' feature then yes you have to mark it as junk. Otherwise you can donate each item individually, but that's much slower and more fiddly

[still salmon]

so i should focus one gear / weapon at a time ?

[nimble spruce]

Just mark everything you don't want to keep as junk, then you can donate it all, deconstruct it all or sell it all in one go

[still salmon]

mb i missread what you said here lmao
already had the answer !

thx a lot buddy

[valid vigil]

hello is there a bug? where'd my stuff go?

[cold pumice]

It's a well known bug.

Just fast travel somewhere or log out and back in

[valid vigil]

ahh ok ok, phew. thanks!

[cold pumice]

It's only a visual bug, all your stuff is still there

[gaunt ice]

Im trynna do the master manhunts but they dont show up in difficulty settings? Do i need to do something first ?

[inner tendon]

@gaunt ice There's only 2 available right now (Air+Space, & Roosevelt), and you need to complete a lower difficulty of them first to unlock the Master mode.

[gaunt ice]

Ahhhh ok got it, which ones the better one u think?

[inner tendon]

Roosevelt is more recent, so will likely have more players, but you can probably find someone for either down in #lfg-playstation,
GL Agent

[wispy merlin]

Space Admin, not Air & Space btw

[gaunt ice]

Ok thankssss

[inner tendon]

See, I couldn't remember because I only ever did it twice.

that should tell you which one I prefer lol.

[pseudo tundra]

heads up that they have unique modifiers on each

[tough marsh]

It shows you prefer Air & Space over Space Admin

[inner tendon]

||Nah it shows that I still think the Theo story-beat is dumb.||

But I digress.

[west onyx]

im sure this has been asked a billion times but
for named brand gear, is it better to farm the brand or the armor type

i would think brand but im just making sure

[slim elk]

brand

[west onyx]

kkty

[inner tendon]

For the quickest guide in the world:

If brand/named: go brand
If Exotic: go type.

[wispy merlin]

exotic brand coming in year 10 after division 3 announcement

[mellow trout]

5.11

[wispy merlin]

4th piece is an exotic mask that powercreeps striker

[spark egret]

Hey guys been in the server awhile but really just getting into the game I’m just now level 40 is there anything I should really be doing I just delete everything I don’t wanna use is that okay?

[slim elk]

Check pins!

[spark egret]

Dumb question rarely use the channel and most other channels I use I don’t pay attention to the pins are they different in every chat like if I switch over to td2 builds will the pins be different (sorry if I sound stupid)

I’ve had discord awhile but rarely use it I’m more of a solo player

[slim elk]

yup, they are

[rugged stratus]

yeah. this channel has some gameplay guides. #td2-build-advice has a huge spreadsheet with build guides and tabs dedicated to all gear/talents/weapons/attributes etc

this channel really does have a lot of explanation now. i remember way back, when it was justa couple pins

[wispy merlin]

I remember when binoculars was still meta

[tough marsh]

I remember how innocent and pure we once were before Determined

[cedar schooner]

Blissful times

[tough marsh]

And refactor

I have an idea. 4pc Refactor + NBB + Determined.

The "Strikers is boring" build

[wispy merlin]

i need to buy bleach again

[tough marsh]

But sir you're already white

[cedar schooner]

If there’s a 2 for 1 get me some and I’ll cover the difference

[cedar schooner]

Hmmmm you could take headshot damage instead or with skill damage to buff sniper turret

Thanks for cooking

[tough marsh]

What should the other 2pc be

[cedar schooner]

I guess you need a headhunter so Habsburg headhunter and probably Picaro’s, maybe Hotshot

[tough marsh]

Oh yeah Picaros

I call it the Jamie Oliver build

[cedar schooner]

I have no idea who that is besides a media personality and chef. Is he bad?

[tough marsh]

He is known for butchering Asian dishes with his own rendition

[cedar schooner]

Perfect

[median falcon]

What should I be doing with unwanted Superior, High End gear and gear sets? I just got to Lvl 30 on my way to 40, so far I've been extracting any talents or maxed out attributes from my gear, then dismantling the rest for mats.

Also, what should I be doing with unused High End weapons? I've gotten a handful of 'Designated Hitters' for example and donated about 3 to the "Expertise" menu, but I don't understand what it does or if it's worth it.

[rugged stratus]

proficiency> expertise is basically endgame damage upgrades . dont worry too much about it, just keep marking stuff you dont want as junk and donating it. down the road those donations will pay off, but for the moment it doesnt really enter the equation. at level 30-40 i wouldnt really keep much. i would decon most for mats or sell for cash. your low level gear will get swapped out a lot as it is obsolete a level or 2 above what it is rolled at. once you hit 40 check out the pinned sheet in #td2-build-advice . tons of build guides for all types of gameplay in it

[cold pumice]

He ruined school dinners forever. He deserves hate

[elfin plover]

Quick question, I assume this also includes me (as I am part of the "group,")?

[worthy tundra]

after completed broklyn mission the art museum, the boss drop exotic here. how can I get it?

[willow ridge]

niche question here, does anybody know if high fire rate still bugs out Merciless allowing it to get its damage boost on multiple bullets

[willow ridge]

https://fximgur.com/a/N3pI25j okay went and tested it myself and yeah didn't get fixed

[hazy pendant]

Hi is there news regarding fixing unable to increase expertise on "turmoil" kneepads? Thanks

[cedar schooner]

can you climb that platform to the left in the ss?

[worthy tundra]

Nope. I have tried everything. Nothing work. So I left. So message to those doing Broklyn main mission: Art Museum.. make the boss go down if possible 😅

[nimble spruce]

Yeah I'm pretty sure I've seen others report that as a bug.

[wind pecan]

hol up does div 2 not have an fps counter?

[valid vigil]

Hello, dumb question. Does the season pass ever go on sale? 😄 I kinda want it

[cedar schooner]

the year 1 does every so often. but the current season pass no

[valid vigil]

got it thanks!

[prisma girder]

what resource is it usually? cuz i checked and nothings seems full to me, im not decon any exotics even

[unique crypt]

for me it's usually gear crafting materials, like holster, chest, etc. pieces

it's also easy to max out the miscellaneous gun and armor parts, but those ones can be donated for proficiency to prevent maxing out

[warm pawn]

when will my twitch drops arrive? i claimed them a long time ago

[pallid lake]

Which Specialization is the hardest to do Projects for? Finished Technician, not sure which to do next so thought getting the hard one would be best

[inner tendon]

@pallid lake Most struggle with Gunner, but all of the Spec Tree Field Research is fairly straight-forward if you know the tricks.

[hollow summit]

Hey, stupid question…Does explosive damage increase the detonated damage on Ravenous?

Or is it solely based off your weapon damage?

Tried testing it at the range, but even with floating damage text, shit is still jumbled together and I can’t see the actual damage.

[spark egret]

Is weapon dps per shot or per mag

[valid vigil]

Hello, can you still get the Exodus Gloves?

[hollow summit]

Are you looking at the “total damage” on the weapon sheet in game? If so, that is per bullet.

[nimble spruce]

DPS generally means damage per second

[spark egret]

Thank you

[hollow summit]

Yes. Exotic caches and random drop.

[nimble spruce]

Yes - they may not be in target loot though, so farming exotic caches and/or priority objectives for random exotics is your best bet

[hollow summit]

No problem. Although it doesn’t take into account of who you are shooting, whether you’re hitting health or armour. It is a base value before additives and multiplicatives.

[valid vigil]

so none in countdown? sad

Thanks tho! Noted!

[spark egret]

Ye I just wanted to know the base like if I have a shotgun that does 1.1m is that 1.1m per shot

[mellow trout]

Yes

Not per pellet

[spark egret]

I figured not per pellet but shot in general

[wind pecan]

i have a question
for god
why

[pseudo tundra]

cause funny

[valid vigil]

When you guys farm say a Fenris backpack, do you target loot backpack or the brand?

[pseudo tundra]

would say brand

if you select brand then it's 1/6 chance

if it's bacpack it's 1/ big number o brands

[valid vigil]

Noted! thanks!

[arctic sinew]

can any1 tell me why id didnt got any progress on the project?

[cold pumice]

I would if I could read german

[cold pumice]

In all seriousness though, it's likely a bug. Try restarting the game.

[arctic sinew]

k

[cold pumice]

I have had this bug before, although not with that particular project.

After a couple hours of doing something else...it randomly completed

[heady veldt]

yeah sometimes stuff like control point donations won't register as well, it might just be a bug, so logging out and in might fix it.

[tepid sierra]

Is the Gold Skull Backpack Trophy still in the pipeline - or was the exotic cache all we were supposed to get?

[nimble spruce]

there were two gold skull trophies, they gave us the exotic cache instead of one of them (I think just a couple of days ago)

[tepid sierra]

I've checked up and down, no Gold Skull, got the Bronze. I got 6 of the 8 drops, and hoped at the end of the event I was to be awarded the final 2. I only seemed to have got the second Exo Cache, I see a few on Reddit saying similar - 🤞 I guess.

[pallid lake]

Do Pistols ever come around as Target Loot in any location? Not seeing them currently, do not recall if they have ever been

[pseudo tundra]

Yes, they can appear anywhere like all gear types

[cold pumice]

you can always just target them yourself in summit/countdown

[sweet current]

anybody figured out how to get the shd operative patch again? am around shd 2388 and still don't have it

[cold pumice]

Theres nothing to figure out.

Its just vanished by all accounts

[sweet current]

well I figured but I don't think the devs just up and removed it so it has to be a bug of some kind

[slim elk]

can't

[nimble spruce]

Season 3 is long gone.
They may add it to the lvl 4 CP reward cache pool at some point, but I don't think it's in there yet.

they added a bunch of other old seasonal reward blueprints to that pool recently, so it's likely they'll keep adding more next season

lvl 4 give an extra blueprint from the cache (only once per CP per day) as well as the one you get for completing it, from two different pools

tbh though brandset and gearset stuff is mostly better to just farm directly, you'll get much better rolls on average. The only real advantage of crafting is if you're chasing a unicorn piece (eg one with the correct minor stats and talent so you can recalibrate the core)

it's impossible currently to actually get all blueprints even if you had played all previous seasons, and a large chunk (over 100) are locked behind descent, and take a LOT of grinding to get

[pallid lake]

Heard about those, just not gotten around to doing Summit, Countdown or Descent, working on things like Specializations, certain Projects like Exotic Projects, collecting keys, some other stuff

Why does the Sniper turret require manual fire when other turrets do not?

[cold pumice]

Because they don't want you to use it 😏

[pallid lake]

TY, still not decided but if you are pursuing one Specialization or even have all done, can you save builds with different Specializations including unique perks? I never see that discussed

[cold pumice]

Specialisation is saved with loadout, it will reload that specialisation if you load the loadout

[pseudo tundra]

Because it can headshot and be very strong

Mortar turret and fire turret require manual adjustment

Well unless you are using the gearset

[pallid lake]

Odd, tried Sniper Turret a few times, not noticed the headshot thing yet
Not unlocked Mortar/Artillery, I do not get why Fire was changed from D1 find the limited cone too restricting, was waiting until I made a proper build with the right gearset giving the 360 arc

[iron zinc]

Anyone know what ensnare health means as opposed to ensnare duration in foam launcher ?

[pseudo tundra]

The foam can be manually shot down to break it faster

More relevant in PVP

[pseudo tundra]

All skills with hard CC are more manual so they dont become OP

There issues that PVP matches becoming people spamming skills from blindspots allowing them to always stun people and kill them without aiming

[median falcon]

Should I be dumping/donating all of my High End gear into the Expertise table?

Both weapons and armor?

[pallid lake]

This explains it better since I do not PvP, TY

[limpid sequoia]

how do you farm the chill out mask?

[pseudo tundra]

from the loot goblin aka hoarder during events

[limpid sequoia]

oh damn so i can't farm it now
when is the next event?

[pseudo tundra]

not really sure they have been almost monthly i say

[mellow trout]

It used to be exclusively during the holiday season but it's been more and more frequent recently

[dusty lynx]

Do any of you have first hand experience with running Division 2 in Bazzite? Everything else I play runs well, and I just want to get some experienced opinions before I pull the trigger and install on my main computer. I would test on the handheld that I already have Bazzite installed on, but it's not powerful enough to run the game in Windows.

[limpid sequoia]

is there any way to get the adrestia even after dismantling it to start the nemesis quest?

[mellow trout]

Move your nemesis to another character

[iron zinc]

@pseudo tundra ah ok . Read that on redit. Wasn't sure it's accurate . Right pvp makes more sense. thx

[pseudo tundra]

well in case you dont know, you if get hit, you can just shoot at your foot to break away faster sometimes

[mellow trout]

Gotta shoot yourself out of hardened foam

Or whatever they call the boss variant

[languid widget]

i went to backup call. map was heroic and full directives. we attacked to check point. there wasnt named defender and attacker. also there wasnt 3 wave defender and attacker enemies too. isnt that weird? how possible that is?

[clever fjord]

what's the % for getting 2 specific minor attribute (one of which is the same type as core attribute) and a desired talent on a bag/chest?

[cold pumice]

That's not really something anyone is going to math out.

There is a higher chance to roll an attribute the same colour as the core attribute. But the calculation isn't public

Besides that, you only need 1 specific attribute and the talent, or 2 specific attributes and a random talent. Since you can just change one

[clever fjord]

not when you want to change the core itself

[cold pumice]

What exactly are you looking for?

[clever fjord]

i remember someone mathing out the % for the drop chance but couldnt find it

[clever fjord]

hsd haz ad rush & hsd haz intim imminence bag/chest

[cold pumice]

It's just going to be a long farm....no amount of knowing the specific math is going to help that really

[clever fjord]

after an approximate amount of crafting (in the 1ks probs) the chance for the desired item does arise

im trying to know after when

[cold pumice]

Chance is chance, like I said, theres no amount of math you can do that will say "you're going to get it after roughly this amount"

What I would say is crafting for it is a waste of resources

[clever fjord]

there is actually i just dont know the intricases of different % multiplying together as with rolls and talents

and minmaxing is demanding

[nimble spruce]

You could calculate it out, just need to know how many attributes of each colour there are and how many talents. First stat has 50% chance of being the same colour as the core.

Just work out the chance of each thing then multiply them all together

[delicate flower]

Is there something specific that triggers elite patrols to spawn on the map. I've had one all day.
My best guess is it might have something to do with if you have friendly CPs in the area.

[cold pumice]

Theres no specific way to force them to spawn. They're more likely to spanw on higher difficulties. but ultimately it's random

[clever fjord]

would also keep in mind the attribute has to be the 1 of the 4 like hsd as mentioned

i assume it is in the 0.0x% territory

[delicate flower]

I've seen one on patrol since 10am yesterday, and I always play on heroic with 4 directives.

That reply was more of just a meaningless complaint. I'm not miffed about it though, just surprised.

[nimble spruce]

Yeah, so if there are 4 red stats and it's a red core item, chance of it being specifically hsd is 0.5 * 0.25 = 0.125
But actually you don't care which way around your two desired minor stats are, so assuming they're both red, it's just 0.25 (but the chance of the second one is 1/(all the possible minor stats -1)

[elfin plover]

Dunno why I'm only asking this now, since I've been playing the game for over a week, but is it possible to de-target an enemy with the Turret/Drone?
Also follow-up question, does the Tactician Drone "pulse," enemies? Because I have this shotgun/SMG (with Flatline) which I've been using to charge enemies with along with the Pulse skill, but I think the Tactician drone's pretty similar to the skill, but I'm not sure, and I don't know how to test the difference. Although it feels like the Tactician drone isn't always "pulsing," the enemies? I assume "pulsing," here is where the enemies' bodies are visibly highlighted, and not just the tag above their heads? Some insight here would be nice.

[cold pumice]

Double tap the skill button to bring the drone back to you or cancel it's target

And no, the tactician drone simply marks them for you and allies so they're highlighted and easier to see. It does not affect the enemies in any way

[elfin plover]

Didn't know that, thanks!

[elfin plover]

Ohh, then what exactly is the "pulse," mentioned in Flatline and other similar talents?

[nimble spruce]

The sharpshooter-specific spotter drone does pulse enemies so it will worth with flatline.
The Striker drone does not, however

And yeah, a pulsed enemy has their whole body visible through cover

[elfin plover]

I see, that's good to know. Yes, I was mostly talking about the Tactician one on the 2nd part of the question, but I had to wonder if there was a way to de-target enemies with the turrets because sometimes, I think it's better to let it shoot at will when I'm behind cover and can't select an enemy.

[nimble spruce]

Best way to detarget a turret is to kill its target

[cold pumice]

for future reference. The controls for skills are listed at the bottom

[nimble spruce]

Or retarget it to one you can kill

[elfin plover]

Welp, just need to be more aware of where they're coming from I guess. 😂
It's annoying in some very specific situations where I have to retreat but I have a target marked that's not peeking or stepping out while enemies start rushing me, having my turret focused on that in-cover baddie doesn't help with getting flanked in very intense situations. 🤔

[nimble spruce]

You can retarget the turret on whoever you like at any time so just point it at whoever is rushing you

You can either throw the turret somewhere high so it has good visibility on the whole area, or just drop it on the cover you're using and then easily pick it up whenever you want to relocate

It has a much shorter cooldown if you pick it up well before it expires

[pure valley]

how to get police m4?

[cold pumice]

Target farm ARs or craft one

[pure valley]

by crafting i get replica i need the actual police m4

[cold pumice]

They're identical

[elfin plover]

Yes, noticed that, I usually engage by putting it on a high platform, but sometimes I tend to forget to re-target when I have to retreat.
I got the 35 milestone cache with Rigger pieces, and I kinda like the Backpack talent it has especially if I need to relocate my turret somewhere, but I'm at 40 now so I ditched them. 🤣

[cold pumice]

There is no difference between the replica and standard versions

That was changed a while ago

[pure valley]

the normal has 50 mag and the replica has 30

for me it makes a difference and i would never pick replica

[nimble spruce]

No, that's just the weapon mod with the +20 ammo

[cold pumice]

Nope. They both have a 30 magazine.

There is LITERALLY no difference between the two

[nimble spruce]

Yeah rigger is unfortunately one of the weaker sets generally. If you like turret+drone gameplay then refactor is the best way to go (with high end chest and backpack for best damage)

However, most people would push you to go pure weapon dps as it's the fastest and most generally useful way to clear content in the game, once you get the hang of positioning

[cold pumice]

Headhunter if you want one shot easy mode.

Strikers if you want DPS but a more active role

HH can be finnicky to get the hang of until you have perfect stats on everything. But once you hit the first headshot kill it's game over for everything on the map

HH is also best for Xp farming since everything is a headshot kill you stack bonus xp really nicely

[elfin plover]

I'm not too knowledgeable with the Gear sets and Exotics, but thanks, I'll keep an eye out for them. I have 4 loadouts, I don't really run turret + drone everytime, I usually have one or the other and then a chem launcher for healing, but I do like how fast I can clear activities with two offensives.
Recently, I tend to stick to Skill Tier equipment though, and I like being able to snipe from one spot and letting the turret and drone do most of the work, lol. I also like how heals are boosted so much by skill tiers, but I've seen a lot of YT loadout builds and suggestions say to focus on weapon damage and crits, I personally dunno about that, because I just like using skills more I guess.

[cold pumice]

Your playstyle is your playstyle. There's a reason you can play on any difficulty and play with whatever build you wish.

SKill builds are bottom tier for high difficulty content (unless it's a healer) but theres no reason you can't enjoy running it

[elfin plover]

Didn't really try ST equipment until I got the Rigger set, and only realized I like how much it boosts stuff for my skills, I just got by equipping whatever's the best at the moment while I tried leveling to 40, before I focus on trying out actual equipment because at least 40's never gonna change.

[elfin plover]

Would you say it's viable for Challenging? Haven't tried it yet, since I got to 40 first before even completing the main missions, so I'm still playing on Normal at the moment, I did Hard mission replay runs, especially when I tried to rush to 40 from 30, didn't notice much difference unlike when I first tried them out below 10.

[cold pumice]

In general for endgame content, you want something that puts out either massive single target damage with little to no effort or lots of damage very quickly to multiple enemies.

Higher DPS = Fastest clear times and in general easier gameplay.

The more survivability you add, as a general rule the harder the game gets but the easier it is to survive.

[cold pumice]

Skill builds can do challenging content sure.

Heroic and upwars they will struggle because skills in general just don't put out enough damage to be a viable choice.

[elfin plover]

I see, that's good to know. I usually just play solo too, I guess that'd be more viable, I do know glass cannon builds are usually the best for PvE in games like these, so that makes sense.
It's just funny to me to try out skills at tier 6 and see them kill enemies without me putting in any effort. 🤣
Thanks again!

[jaunty jay]

What does the shape colored symbols appear above enemies head?

I just come back since April

[pseudo tundra]

seasonal modifier, enemy gets a buff, kill them and that buff gets added to your stack

you can read the detail on the isaac simbol in your inventory

[wind pecan]

am i blind?? how do i get up to the roof to fight this bounty

[pseudo tundra]

check inside the building

should be an elevator shaft with an rope to climb

[wind pecan]

yeah im in here but i could not get anywhere else

nevermind. i found it

[jaunty jay]

What ISAAC symbol?

[cold pumice]

Inventory > Middle slot top row to see modifiers

[jaunty jay]

What are Journey Missions?

[cold pumice]

They give season pass xp

Completing them unlocks rewards

[jaunty jay]

and modifiers, I wanna try unlock them, but I guess not now

[pseudo tundra]

journey are kinda long term/tutorial for some season mechanics

[jaunty jay]

How do you play them?

[cold pumice]

you just Do them

[jaunty jay]

????

[pseudo tundra]

they are objectives that are always active

like the projects

[jaunty jay]

Where can one find it?

[fading depot]

Any builds that're easy as dirt to toss together as a fresh 40 to make the grind easier?
If so, which is the most efficient way to go about getting it?

[cold pumice]

Strikers 4pc. Coyotes mask and Ceska Oblit chest is the base DPS set up.

WOrks with any gun with good DPS, and shotguns like the ACS-12

[jaunty jay]

as in, where can I view these objectives, because I'm a bit scatter brain

[pseudo tundra]

seasonal tab

menu, right of inventory

[jaunty jay]

ooop, thanks

[fading depot]

Gotcha. And is Striker on any of the missions today? I don't see it if it is. Nobody is matching for countdown. At least on normal.

[cold pumice]

It's not in any mission target loot today. You can always target it in summit

[pseudo tundra]

nobody does countdown on normal everybody does on challenging

just go to challenigng and stick to the biggest group of people, they will murder everything and you will have no problem

[fading depot]

Hah. We'll see how that goes.

[inner tendon]

@fading depot It's genuinely the most popular farm in the game, you probably will die the first few times you do it, but just stay away from enemies, take potshots, and most importantly: do the objectives so the killers don't have to.

[cold pumice]

Like Rivens said....concentrate on the objectives and let the DPS do their work.

[pure valley]

Is it possible to max out 1 specialization in 1 day?

[inner tendon]

Since each SHD Watch upgrade gives you points, technically yes!

Just do all the Projects/Invaded/Bounties that reward bonus points too.

(any that have the icon and mention a number in their rewards)

[pure valley]

how much do you get points when u level up?

[inner tendon]

I have not needed to do that in almost 6 years, but my guess is probably 1-3.

Try not to focus on doing everything "right now" in div2, the game is meant to be played over a long period of time.

[pseudo tundra]

i think it's 3

[warm pawn]

does the division 2 support nvidia DLSS?

[lament hemlock]

No

[heady veldt]

and please.. turn on your seasonal modifier if you host the countdown.. it's not going to hurt me per se if people hosting don't, but it's going to make the run so much faster as there are builds this season that just make it a breeze especially dealing with hunters at the beginning and the end.

[dapper steeple]

Is it possible to still do the agent kelso duck container?

Nvm we missed one because the video didn't show it

[rose sorrel]

Do folks prefer seasonal mods on or off for stuff like legendary

[cold pumice]

On, because DPS

[wispy merlin]

it depends, we don't want them on for us

[cold pumice]

At the end of the day, i'm joining someone elses game.

So it's their rules. If you want them on, have them on

[wispy merlin]

yeah, it's not without downsides, if you're well-equipped for it then go for it

[fading depot]

Is there actually any punishment for failing countdown? I seem to keep all the stuff I picked up.

[inner tendon]

@fading depot Nope! Well teachnically, you get a bunch of bonus stuff if you extract, but no real punishment for losing.

[mellow trout]

You lose most of the earned countdown credits

[tough marsh]

And pride

[fading depot]

Hmm. I see.

[inner tendon]

It should be noted, that the Countdown Credits are what you use to buy the Exotic Caches from the Countdown Vendor, on a victory, you can earn one every 2-3 runs.

Challenging will get you enough for that, Heroic gives bugger all extra and takes longer to do, so only run it with a dedicated team.

[fading depot]

Yeah challenging is what I have been running. But it does stress me out that I'm being mostly dead weight.

Should technically only need to do it for a couple more drops though. If I'm understanding the progression here correctly. Once this build comes online I assume focus shifts to open world activities for watch levels.

[mellow trout]

As long as you're not actively griefing the team you're fine

[fading depot]

There was one group where the leader kicked me a bunch of times and I kept getting put back in with them. They left, and the group went on to dominate the run quite easily. Hah. That was quite funny.

[whole ocean]

does negotiator's dilemma work better with pestilence or strega?

[west onyx]

guys i made a fresh chara for a specific reason but...
when do I get targeted loot...

[cold pumice]

Level 30

[west onyx]

im level 37 done with every black tust stronghold

i think I have targeted loot but it doesn't show on the map; the button to see it isn't there

[valid vigil]

Hello! What's the best way for farm field recon data?

[cold pumice]

Control Points

[valid vigil]

Thanks!

[west onyx]

prob just need lvl 40

[valid vigil]

lol i got this the first time i finished a control point lol

[cold pumice]

Even better 🙂

[west onyx]

yup level 40 is targeted loot

[valid vigil]

Hello, can you get black tusk assessment in countdown? I ran out of bounties

[cold pumice]

You get them f rom ANY black tusk boss. Not just from bounties.

[limpid sequoia]

asking again, what is the best way to farm for expertise?
is it xp farming to convert watch levels into printer filament and then donating it?

[left ravine]

Play Countdown and donate the items towards expertise. Not sure if the printer filament thing still works that way, seems nerfed.

[valid vigil]

Hello, where do I have a chance to get Black Tusk Tactical Assessment bundle blueprint. Are there black tusk control points? Can't seem to see one 😄

[pseudo tundra]

blueprint isnt related to faction who owns the control point

[valid vigil]

Oh, i thought it was 😄 ok ok thanks!

[oblique nest]

I’m Shepard level 10 now I’ve grinded it for the caretaker but I diddnt receive it when I got to 8 any clue why?

[mellow trout]

The event ended ages ago

[terse cairn]

Just saw they have fixed this merit

[cosmic island]

Why is sparkles flamethrower hitting me for 3.2 million instantly?

[wispy merlin]

it does that yes

[cold pumice]

Fire bad

[river lagoon]

What's the difference between a normal raid and a discovery raid? Never done a raid before

[slim elk]

discovery is just that, no rewards like exclusive weapons like on Normal

[jolly elm]

I got the Shotgun „Left handed“ from Countdown. There’s no way for me to get the Blueprint, since it’s a Season 10 reward, right?

[pseudo tundra]

It might be on descent blueprint list

Since it has most of named items

[mighty otter]

once i turned lv 30 all my items have gone i restarted the game multiple times any ideas?

[limpid sequoia]

outside of dark zone, what would be the current best way to farm named item stuff like the matador backpack?

[daring wren]

If you want a rando one named item caches or Descent if your after one you can reroll the core

[limpid sequoia]

i guess i really need to do descent then huh?

[daring wren]

For pvp? Yeah pretty much but open named items anyway I’ve gotten a double crit Matador before from a cache

[limpid sequoia]

i've done descent like 4 times and only was able to get to the nemesis once

even then solo descent i've heard isn't good for farming

[daring wren]

If you have red cores in your pvp build use one for Matador that’ll make it way easier

[daring wren]

It’s a grind for sure. More than 110 blueprints in the pool now

[elfin plover]

Is there any other benefit for fully equipping a gear set (6/6) instead of just equipping 4/6 and using 2 other potentially more useful gear?

[rugged stratus]

no. you lose attribute space and set bonus for every gearset piece over 4

[elfin plover]

Nice, was wondering because it seems dumb to equip a full 6/6 set, at the moment, and was really wondering what's the benefit lol, it seemed better to just equip two others to get more stats.

[rugged stratus]

4 gear(green), 2 highend(yellow), or 1 highend 1 exotic

[elfin plover]

Yes, going for 4 green, 1 red, 1 yellow.

Was sorting through my stuff and realized I had a full gear set, and just had to wonder since I saw there are icons in the gear set details for 6/6.

[rugged stratus]

sometimes its beneficial to keep a full set so you can flex whichever 4 pieces you use. just not use all 6 at the same time

[inner tendon]

The best example of this is if you join a Raid/Incursion team, and a bunch of other people are using Coyotes already, so the buff would be redundant.

[worldly fjord]

You can get Lefty's blueprint from descent's reconstructed caches

[torn iron]

I was working on my ridgeways pride project and just need to kill 2 hunters left, I went in solo countdown to kill the hunters but it didn’t count. Do I have to kill the open world hunters?

[nimble spruce]

countdown hunters won't count for it, all other hunters will (mask hunters, floor 100 hunters, and those in certain missions)

probably stalker hunters too, but they're kind of a pain to kill

[torn iron]

Alright thanks!

[plain galleon]

What is the best way to farm tactical assessments if u dont have the blueprints????

[cold pumice]

Bounties

Or CP4s

[plain galleon]

Wht are cp4s??

[plain galleon]

Alert 4 Control Points??

So i think the best way is heroic control points then

[plain galleon]

But you can unlock all the optimization blueprints by finishing control points right??

[wispy merlin]

yes

[inner tendon]

@plain galleon 2 birds with 1 stone, each time you complete a CP at Lvl 3 or 4, you get 1 random blueprint from a set pool of them, with no repeats possible.

[slim elk]

it's a big ahh pool

[inner tendon]

I don't know what an ahh pool is, but it's not that many, and it's not meant to be sped-through anyway.

[cold pumice]

Yes, eventually you will unlock all the Blueprints, and you could get lucky early on.

I believe you only get tactical assesnment components from CP4 though, not CP3. (The blueprint can be unlocked from either)

[prisma girder]

do i loose loop progress if i leave descent from lobby?

[nimble spruce]

Yes

[plain galleon]

Ok got it

[half karma]

are stretch goals active or not yet?

[summer basalt]

How many summit floors would be equivalent to a mission?

[weak finch]

Strange question, like 7?

[rugged stratus]

Only boss floors and they're same xp as controlpoints. Summit is pretty terrible xp otherwise.

[turbid igloo]

Does hitting an marked Achilles part count for headshot stacks?

[slow cairn]

i have a question, if i own Div2 on ubisoft but not steam, and buy it on steam as well. do i get all my progress shipped over, or will i need to buy every dlc as well?

[turbid igloo]

Noted: No.

[wintry orbit]

Anyone know how to get the Lost Ellis Memos in the database section of collectibles? Looking for the memos in the database, not the Ellis comms.

[inner tendon]

Yep, as long as you have the account linked up.

IIRC you will need to buy the base game again to "unlock it" for Steam, but the rest of the DLC's should be fine to just buy on ubi-connect.

Think of the ubi-connect version as the controlling one, and the rest as other ways to access that version.

[slow cairn]

ah thats nice. so i dont have to buy all the DLC's? just base game. since i do own all the dlcs on ubi

[inner tendon]

It should work fine, but you can always buy the base game on sale via Steam, and if it doesn't work, refund it on Steam.
Just make sure the same account you own the stuff on ubi-connect is properly linked.

[slow cairn]

aye i did fix that, but i did lose my far cry primal sadly. as its linked to another account but. everything should be fine

[iron zinc]

Hey all in middle of tidal mis and bug shows enemy but don't see . So we cant move on to next part any thoughts wat to do ?

[inner tendon]

Ubi have given it away for free in the past IIRC, so hey, there's always another chance.

[nimble spruce]

Try the pulse skill to find them, if they're stuck in a wall or something you can often damage them using oxidiser or vile with emp pulse

[west onyx]

determined headhunter into people with head armor is kinda awful

i dont kill with the headshot so i kinda

lose stacks and it's real awkward

am I missing something

it does mad damage when it's stacked like 12 mil but

[nimble spruce]

You just need to shoot them (or another enemy) again in the head to restart determined and headhunter stacks

[west onyx]

also does normal determined alternate shots like perfect determined does?

[nimble spruce]

No, normal determined reprocs itself on every shot

[iron zinc]

Just saw ur mesg . It eventually just cleared. Pulse is a good idea for future . Thx

[west onyx]

and perfect doesn't and that's not a bug?

[nimble spruce]

Correct. Perfect gives you a guaranteed crit as well as guaranteed headshot, so I guess the toggle thing is to stop it being too OP.
Originally regular determined worked the same way but they buffed it.

Of course in practice Perfect is now way weaker than regular, but tbh that's because regular needs a bit of a nerf

[west onyx]

weird okay time to swap out my weapon for a normal determine

[nimble spruce]

Perfect also has the disadvantage of being locked to weaker base weapons. Use a white death or something and you'll be hitting for much more damage

[west onyx]

yeah

[oak gazelle]

tbf imo they just forgot to change the perfect version, too
headshot damage is additive to crit damage, so there wouldn't be really much of a gain

[nimble spruce]

Yeah, plus it's a pain to keep track of the toggling buff during a fight, have to keep count or constantly glance at the buff bar to know when you can rely on it

[west onyx]

yeah it works in some places and doesn't work on some others

[oak gazelle]

I really like that you have to manage armored or rather enemies with helmets and think about what to shoot first, it really gives a tactical/strategic nuance to it.
And yeah the perfect version needs a rework, managing that on/off behaviour just kills the flow completely.

[west onyx]

i actually enjoyed it quite a bit when it was working out, but if there's a clear superior alternative I'd probably rather take it

[oak gazelle]

the issue I have with it is just even if you do 2 "real" headshots in a row, you still loose the buff and you want to have consistent damage output in higher difficulties, similiar to up-time in buffs in other games
like a version where you get a stack for each "real" headshot, up to 3 or something and for each body-headshot you loose a stack

[turbid igloo]

Trust me: get the nemesis and start training your aim, it's juicy 50 million with the right build and right aim

[oak gazelle]

no hate but you're wasting 90% of that damage, because most enemies don't even have that much health
it's just wasted overdamage in a lot of cases, you can still swap in the nemesis for bossed tho

[inner tendon]

You really should use exact amounts when you're talking about the math stuff in div2, exaggeration will get you sideways glances.

[oak gazelle]

depends on the difficulty, but let it be 75-80%
doesn't really change a thing

[inner tendon]

If you're talking about builds in this game, generally you are talking about Heroic as a base, as that's where the endgame starts.

Anything below that and you can pretty much use a pointy stick.

[oak gazelle]

yea and solo heroic is wastly different to 4 ppl group scaling, but I can't account for everything without the info on what difficulty they play on, which mode or in a group

and the person plays on console, a lot of console players in my experience don't always play on heroic

my point was big number goes big doesn't tell the whole story and in a lot of cases your wasting damage, without any benefit

[inner tendon]

The issue was that you said they could get away with significantly less damage, without any kind of context that it was exageration or a joke. You need to get info out clearly to people, especially if they're asking a question about builds in a game as needlessly complicated as div2 sometimes can be.
If you want to say all that extra stuff about difficulty and console players or whatever, you need to add that in too, otherwise people are going to continue to disagree with you, and more importantly: you're going to give people bad info/habits, which can take a lot of work to undo.

[oak gazelle]

I think there is no written rule that we always talk about Heroic besides missing out on the group scaling completely, you can make that point that the endgame starts there, but I know a lot of people play challenging, because it is faster or more precisely more efficient in a time/reward manner. I think in that case my roughly estimate wasn't that far off.

To add some context, most enemies on solo heroic die with 12-13M damage.

[lost barn]

Any solution to week 11 manhunt riddles?

[inner tendon]

||Activities > Named Enemies > GWH.||

[gaunt ice]

Is there a site or discord that tells you all the content drop including zones? Workin late and wanna know whats dropped

[lost barn]

Gwh?

[turbid igloo]

Gotta make sure they're dead with portable precision missiles

[oak gazelle]

Grand Washington Hotel (mission)

[lost barn]

Ok thanks

Other quests or only mission?

[elfin plover]

Is it possible to only relinquish control of selected CPs, or it's really just for all CPs? Haven't seen the option to just do that, even if the CP gets "attacked," by hostiles, our faction's fighters seem to always win.
Asking because I need to finish some resource convoys, and I don't really want to give up control of my CPs right now, don't really have too much time to play (so can't really re-cap in a short amount of time, even if it's practically better to re-cap for new loot), and I like using them for fast traveling.

[oak gazelle]

No, sadly not, but you can play on a different character without touching the other map.

[elfin plover]

Cool, thanks! Guess I'll just skip the objective.

[west onyx]

That sounds awesome

My aim is good already; still fixing my builds though

[cold pumice]

Most are within short distance of other fast travels. Such as mission points and settlements, and if you have the year 1 pass classified missions which you can complete for extra fast travels.

[elfin plover]

Dang, guess I missed out. I actually don't have any of the DLCs yet, because at the start before I went playing, I only thought I'll test the game out to see if I actually like it, then the next thing I know, the sale's already over. 🤣
Waiting for the next sale now, just gonna get the 2 DLCs, think Y1 pass can't be obtained via other means anymore unless you buy everything in bulk, I did see it at the in-game store, though, so maybe that's the only good affordable way to get it for me at this point.

[cold pumice]

You can buy year 1 pass separately, I did

[elfin plover]

Really? I bought the game from Steam, but I don't see it listed anywhere (or maybe I'm just blind).

[cold pumice]

In game store

[elfin plover]

Oh yeah, that's what I was saying. Just from the in-game store. Costs 1k E-creds.

[turbid igloo]

Trust me, it's an worthy overkill

[nimble spruce]

Don't mind the fact that a regular determined mmr can kill 3 or more enemies in the time it takes nemesis to charge one shot

[oak gazelle]

never trust trust me statements 😄
HH Determined with a decent sniper is more than capable of oneshotting most enemies

[craggy gazelle]

Hi, I was told that the PlayStation community is most active on Facebook - anyone know how I can find that? I'm not super familiar with Facebook.

[elfin plover]

What Hive do most people use the BTSU Datagloves for? Seeing that it works specially with the Hive skill, dunno what Hive type I should run it with.
I usually run solo, BTW, but I'd assume it shines when in a group using heal/booster. 🤔

[cedar schooner]

You’re working this backwards.

You want to figure out what hive works best for your build, then you can use BTSU if that synergizes with your build.

Restorer and BTSU are commonly paired on healing builds, as well as an option for legendary foam eclipse

[elfin plover]

It doesn't really synergize with my build per se, but it's my only exotic armor equipment, figure I'd like to try using it. I'm very comfy running Turret + Drone with no Hives, hence the question.

Then so I just go for damage hive?

[cedar schooner]

I wouldn’t recommend it, outside of the novelty. It’s an S tier item but if it’s not synergistic…

Damage hive would work fine for that though. Healing or artificer are pretty good too

[elfin plover]

Earlier in the game, I did like using the Restorer Hive, with +6 ST though, but recently I've just realized that I can wipe enemies pretty easily with two offensives if I just play carefully and rely on repair kits if ever needed. 😓

[cedar schooner]

Just worse option than the drone or turret on a drone turret build tho

[elfin plover]

Yeah, feels like the damage hive runs out so fast when I tried it, the specific Hive haste boost is nice though, I assume it's really best to pair it with Restorer or Boost (group-play), since with +6 ST and the BTSU, the stim charge speed goes down to 1 sec per stim lol. 🤣

[placid glacier]

I've been trying to run the memento exotic but I'm struggling to pick up the trophies that drop whenever I kill an enemy. And when I do get a trophy I can barely use them before the effects go off. Is there anything I should use to help get the trophies without dying too quickly or is it not worth it to use. I don't have much other exotics so I want to use it but it's difficult to run.

[nimble spruce]

The long-term buffs for memento make it useful even if you don't get much out of the short term ones. They last 5m so once you're stacked you'll generally stay that way unless you reset them by dying or visiting a safe house

[valid vigil]

Hello, I just wanted to ask what content should I be focusing now 😄 since i heard that season is almost ending. I'm trying to finish all the scouts thingy. Is there anything else? Should I prep a build for something? Idk 😄

[elfin plover]

Anyone know how to sort gear mods by effect (descending)? I tried searching but see no reliable way.

[oak gazelle]

kinda, there is a way, but far from optimal

[elfin plover]

Right now, I'm just going through my mods and using the Filter option then just sorting it by sell price. 💀
I guess it kind of works, but I got a few mods below level 25 that are somewhat better than the ones I get at 40.

[oak gazelle]

You can see in the first pic "Filter Options" (marked in the screenshot) and you'll get the menu I got.

To go there you need to go to a gear piece and select the gear mod slot.

[elfin plover]

Dayum, I guess they didn't think to have a special sorting option for the mods. Oh well.

[sharp osprey]

On PlayStation you just hold down triangle and it breaks it down into categories

[elfin plover]

@oak gazelle, yes, that's what I've been doing, but still annoying sometimes to double-check, helps to find the highest effect % if you sort it by sell price too.

[oak gazelle]

Yea it's a different filter option tho, not really helpful if you want to get rid off the "low" roll mods.

[sharp osprey]

Aah see what you mean

[elfin plover]

Guess I just need to get rid of my below level 40 ones, so everything's consistent. If a mod is below level 40 and has better stats (%) than anything at 40, it goes at the bottom of the list (sorted by sell price). Also rarity affects the list, but oh well, it's pretty usable to know what's the highest % you have at least.

[nimble spruce]

Yeah I'd recommend getting season journey and manhunt scouts completed, if that doesn't get you to season lvl 100 then farm more season xp (priority objectives are best for this)

[sharp osprey]

Do you have this option? If I’m misunderstanding, I’ll blame it on the lack of no sleep lol

[elfin plover]

Yes, PC users have the Filtering (effects) options, and another separate option to Sort (name, price, etc..

Anyway, getting this now, which is weird because I double-checked my resources and none of them are at max anyway.

[sharp osprey]

Maybe not currently at cap but will be once you delete

[elfin plover]

Oh, perhaps so. Oh well, trash is trash. 🤣

[visual current]

Anyone else having this problem today ? The Division stole my stuff. 😡

[nimble spruce]

Log off and on again or travel to a different ingame region (eg NY) to fix it

[visual current]

Thanks!!! Going to NYC and back fixed it. 🫡

[rose sorrel]

Are difficult legendaries like zoo/tidal basin easier as solo, duo, or 4?

[pseudo tundra]

4 people

[weak finch]

I still have PSTD of beating legendary Tidal Basin and the countless tries at the final area... and they say the zoo is worse!

[rose sorrel]

weekly will be fun

[wispy merlin]

zoo is worse

you should clear with us some time. our average gameplay will shock you

[weak finch]

that would be an honor boss

[wispy merlin]

you free in 4-5 hours?

[weak finch]

hell to the yeah

[drowsy needle]

Lexington next week?

[west onyx]

how do loadouts interact with stash, can I like grab a loadout from my stash?

[pseudo tundra]

yeah

as long you have space to add those to your backpack

[left ravine]

Maybe I missed the info somewhere but which mission will be the upcoming climax mission this season?

[wispy merlin]

they don't let you know ahead of time

[rugged stratus]

afaik you need to be within range of a stash to pull loadout items from it tho

[wispy merlin]

you up?

[wraith ridge]

why do we not have the catalyst mask blueprint?

[wispy merlin]

it's not even out yet

[pseudo tundra]

not get it mixed up with tinkerer?

[worthy tundra]

so just complete Week 8 & Week 12 Manhunt to get Tinkerer?

[mellow trout]

Shockingly average gameplay you say

[wispy merlin]

oh yeah catalyst just doesn't have one for some reason

[west onyx]

awesome ty

[weak finch]

I just got home sorry! But im watcing you live on Twitch holy shit

[west onyx]

any1 know how to fully zoom out on the map? I've done it by accident so many times but i can't figure out how to do it on purpose

[turbid igloo]

Does sentry take more aggro than the holograms?

[turbid igloo]

Oh and btw

Does anyone know the music that plays when capturing a true sons outpost?

[oak gazelle]

don't know for sure, because we don't know exactly how threat is calculated, it takes some things into account like damage in a specific time range and distance etc.
I think the turret stays up longer on lower skill tier than the hologram

[fading depot]

Now that I have the Striker build what exactly should I be focusing on?

Also if there is a progression guide somewhere I'd check it out so I don't have to ask everything here.

[turbid igloo]

Yep it does stay longer

[oak gazelle]

like a track name?

[turbid igloo]

Yep

[oak gazelle]

the issue is that it isn't how game music in the game works, it's more cut up slices that get mixed together

[turbid igloo]

Bruh

[oak gazelle]

I can give you the filename etc. in DMs, but that's how it works IN THE GAME
Doom is another example, there are hundreds of single cut up slices in the game files, for OSTs the composer does mix them together in tracks

[nimble spruce]

More builds (see the spreadsheet pinned in #td2-build-advice), filling your recalibration library, expertise, and generally just doing content you enjoy and working up the difficulties

[fading depot]

Hmm. I see

[turbid igloo]

Oh please yes

I'd love to put it on future videos

[oak gazelle]

look into your DMs

[undone granite]

Can I transfer my progress to another account I play on psn

[inner tendon]

@undone granite Nope, no crossplay or crosssave between different platforms.

e.g. PSN to xbox? No. PC Gamepass to steam? Yes.

[undone granite]

PSN TO PSN

[inner tendon]

Still nope, it's tied into your account.

I don't really understand how having multiple PSN accounts is such a common thing, outside of trying to dodge bans,

[oak gazelle]

fresh start without any progress or no rank with a certain skill ceiling, grinding to S safety and driver rating in gran turismo again, how is that not a common thing you want to have

and it's easier than ever on console
I think AC unity doesn't even have a "delete save" ingame, you actually need to delete it in windows and that is for a single player game

[inner tendon]

The bulk of the time people asking turn out to be people who were banned for "no reason", so I'm going to keep going by what I see.
Frankly it doesn't really matter either way: because it's not relevant to div2.

[oak gazelle]

yea probably a lot of people are trying to evade bans, but there is legit reason why people have multiple accounts, can be simple as their friends play on a different rank in R6 Siege and they don't want to risk their Diamond rank by playing with their lower skilled friends
and for div2 on PC you need to buy a 2nd licence on a different account, meanwhile on console you just create a new profile, they do it because it is easy and doesn't really require anything

[turbid igloo]

About the turret or decoy thing

I discovered that the turret is better due to the fact that enemies target something that constantly deals damage or poses a threat (being near, behind their cover etc)

While some enemies (elites and nameds) end up ignoring hologram after a while if you deal the slightest of damage to them

[weak finch]

That is interesting because I swear by my decoy. Will experiment later

[pseudo tundra]

decoy i feel has a stronger initial pull at a shorter range with minimal skill tiers

with lots of skill tiers it hilariously draws all the aggro away at long ranges

[weak finch]

if two enemies are shooting at the decoy from opposite sides, will they get damage?

[pseudo tundra]

no because the decoy is on the ground

also i odnt believe same faction have friendly fire

even their explosives unless we shoot them

[raw harbor]

what's the best way to farm specialization points?

[slim elk]

leveling up or bounties

[hardy prism]

You got 5 points, doing Invaded missions

[raw harbor]

I did all of those except the stronghold because that would take too long

is there a certain difficulty that people tend to do them on? I was trying to matchmake but I couldn't ever find a group

[nimble spruce]

challenging or heroic generally

you also get points from other time-limited stuff (daily & weekly projects, daily bounties, etc)

[pseudo tundra]

and when in doubt can call for backup

another way to find people

[wispy merlin]

nah, their bullets don't do friendly fire

[nimble spruce]

really wish those 'red pulse' grenades did though

[pseudo tundra]

I wish we had those

[turbid igloo]

So how did the experiment go?

[turbid igloo]

Same tbf

[atomic bough]

In the PS4/PS Vita days the only way to Remote Play with an actual DualShock is through a 2nd account (i.e. controller on your main account and “Share Screen” with your alt account). If you try log into the Vita with the same account, you are forced to use the (very unergonomic) Vita controls.

[atomic bough]

Also an alternate account is (still) needed to hold a particular Summit floor, for example. And previously with WT it also can make sense to hold some overflow characters, e.g. one with a WT5 map to help out with (say, Hardcore) leveling.

[lapis lava]

Question, will I still be able to play the season's final mission next week if I haven't completed the Brooklyn DLC?

Thanks. I wasn't sure if they would use one of the expansion missions as the final mission. I own it. I just havent bothered to play through it yet.

[tepid sierra]

I still didn't get the Gold Skull backpack trophy, but I did get the missing exotic cache, bringing my drops total to 7 out of 8. I can't find any updates about the twitch drops after that

[inner tendon]

@atomic bough Please avoid the tags in the future, I have to keep them clear for server emergencies.
You can reply, just click on the little "@" symbol to turn off it pinging me.

[wispy merlin]

@heady veldt i did it

[oak gazelle]

Yep, that's what I do on my 2nd PC account. Not everyone is just cheating or evading bans by using multiple chars.

[turbid igloo]

[slow cairn]

i am curious, how do you get that skateboard backpack cosmetic thing. seen few folks run around with it ingame

[weak finch]

"Accuracy 47%" is somehow the most impressive part to me 😱

[wispy merlin]

it means i'm bad

[mellow trout]

It was a reward from stretch caches last season

[slow cairn]

Sad

[pseudo tundra]

we are more likely to see those caches come back, if they will have new stuff or be a full rerun we dont know

[valid vigil]

Hello! Do you guys know when the game is going to be on sale? Been talking about it a lot and got 2 of my friends hyped lol. They wanna play it too

[bronze berry]

No way to tell when it's going to be on sale again but Ubisoft / The Division seems to be having sales quite often these days so my guess is you probably don't need to wait too long for another sale. 🤭

[valid vigil]

Yeah, they've been having sales often recently. Thanks tho! I'll wait!

[quick folio]

did something happen to the other div2 discords? I believe i was in four, now theres only 2

[heady veldt]

niceeee..34 mins.. impressive! I think your name should now be officially "AboveAveragePlayer" hahaha

[wispy merlin]

no, i've always been content with being average. i'm 3 mins behind world record

i won't be beating it anytime soon 😔

[minor ferry]

Anyone got any super fun skill builds besides mortar stuff?

not interested in things that overly play themselves like popping a drone. i wanna put some thought into my skill usage!

[limpid sequoia]

how good is the bullet king?

[visual current]

Down to my last 2 gear sets 🥳 Question: How do I find sys corruption data core and Yaahl Gear ? Thanks !!

[pseudo tundra]

both are DZ exclusive

sometiems clan vendor can have yaahl

system corruption can very rarely drop from legacy caches

and yaahl has hollow man mask from named caches

[visual current]

Ok!! I guess I'm done then. Thanks!!! I don't do DZ.

Let me go look

Cool!! This one will work ?

Thanks!!! for the help 🫡

[bronze berry]

So, apparently there's a sale happening right now? I got an email, saying that the Gamescom sale is live. Check the store.

[inner tendon]

Do you happen to know what they were called? AFAIK there's only 1 official one, unless you mean for another game.

There's 3 "big ones", here, the community server, and GCrock.

[lime crypt]

Does anyone know how to autorun with x-box pads?

[inner tendon]

https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/help/the-division-2/gameplay/article/autorun-in-the-division-2/000064097
seems to be disabled by default, try turning it on then checking the controls.

[supple bane]

With season pass xp on stretch goals it will be 1x rather than 2x. Does that mean itll be 1:1 with regular xp?

[inner tendon]

SHD XP and Season XP are separate systems, you get Season XP by doing pretty much anything, but you can get much higher rates by doing specific activities, and a bonus by having your Seasonal Modifiers on.

e.g. Priority Objectives give you way more Season XP than most other things, with the meta farm right now seemingly being getting a Stronghold with "XP" as the reward.

[valid vigil]

I don't think it's on sale 😦 Thank you tho!

[inner tendon]

@valid vigil

Same as for the BfB expansion, just the fancy edition. (and base game's Gold Edition)

Assuming they work with the discount, make sure you use your "100 units for 20% off" thingy.

[valid vigil]

Oh wait! I was looking at steam. Gold edition is on sale! Niiice

[inner tendon]

They have actually spoken about this, and the cost for server space seems to to be the main issue.
If you want them for more storage space, you are probably keeping stuff you don't need.

[nimble spruce]

They were talking about doing it for seasonal characters, but that whole idea got binned. I suspect the extra stash space we got was the replacement

[supple bane]

Is turmoil fixed rolls?

[nimble spruce]

Yes

[supple bane]

But tinkerable?

[nimble spruce]

Iirc no. They might change it for the stretch goals though. Maybe even give it proficiency.

[supple bane]

Okok ty. So overall stick with strikers with turmoil?

[nimble spruce]

Test the HH interaction, if it works then it's pretty powerful.
Otherwise, it's up to you. I don't use turmoil personally except maybe on lower difficulties where you're bursting down enemies super fast anyway.

[supple bane]

🤔 ok. Ty for the info

[nimble spruce]

Other than the HH issue, turmoil doesn't really give you extra damage, it just saves time switching from one target to the next (at the cost of taking twice as long to kill each target)

[supple bane]

Imma grind out a snow machine or w/e the name is for the fun of it

[spare condor]

Hello to anyone who reads this, I posted this in the wrong chat I think, so I'm posting this here:

Hello, Me and my Uncle is coming back to the game.

And ANY advice would be highly appreciated. Me and my uncle just returned to the game two- three days ago. And so much has changed. We started on playstation and then took a year or so break on it after we finished New York DLC. And then decided to play on pc, played for a few months/year and stop then came back (two - three days ago.) And have no clue what to really do now. We don't have the new dlc yet. But still. Any advice and information would be extremely helpful!

(P.s we never did raids or legendary difficulty. I think I did one raid once and it's the one that had the two Black Tusk Hounds. But that's it, and I'm pretty sure (99% sure) I got carried.)

[feral bronze]

is this the same outfit we getting added in advent 19th people from china version https://www.youtube.com/shorts/9mTQ2YnLYX4

fingers and toes crossed

[inner tendon]

If it's the same name, i can't see why it would be different.
Adding stuff from the chinese version of div2 is up to MSV's discretion though, so don't expect a flood of stuff remade for div2.

[feral bronze]

ooh hope so cant wait to sting players in dz lol

[inner tendon]

We do have a Stinger outfit pieces already, mind you.

[feral bronze]

ye thats true missing none atm i do to much playing i must have it allllll

[inner tendon]

IIRC it was part of the old friend referral systm, but you should be able to buy it now.

[storm cipher]

Is countdown or summit better for attempting maxed armor mods?

[inner tendon]

@storm cipher Countdown is volume, Summit is quality.
So overall, Countdown is probably easier, since you can matchmake for it on Chall' in a few seconds, and then get Heroic tier stuff anyway.

[nimble spruce]

@barren tundra to group with others, please use the lfg channels - in your case, #lfg-xbox would be the best place to ask.
Also note many xbox players use the built in match finder software instead of discord for grouping

[delicate flower]

How do you change back to your original data centre after being in a EU session or a NA session?

[nimble spruce]

if you have a poor enough connection you get a 'find better server' option in the main menu somewhere, otherwise I guess just log off and on again

[delicate flower]

Yea loggin in and out didn't seem to help. But I do remember the find better server

[fading crypt]

What endgame things are soloable for a fresh lvl 40, no shd?
Still learning about all the goodness, but im looking for a place to start collecting gear pieces

[nimble spruce]

you can matchmake for challenging countdown and get carried while you collect parts for your first builds, it's not too difficult so you shouldn't be dragging the team down much (unless you get unlucky and everyone there is relying on being carried)

[fading crypt]

And outside of that? (Happy to try ofc)

[nimble spruce]

Basically everything is soloable except countdown, raids and incursion. You can run open world activities, missions, summit etc on whatever difficulty you find comfortable

Look for target loot areas to farm the pieces you want, and try to get up to challenging difficulty as soon as possible as that improves the stat rolls you find on gear and (almost) eliminates purple items from the loot pools

[flint hare]

Hi check pinned msg in this channel nd the spreadsheet pinned in #td2-build-advice

[spare condor]

Yeah, I know.

[spare condor]

oof.

[spare condor]

Hey, you wouldn't by chance happened to have F90 summit Checkpoint?

[sweet loom]

Is getting the Nemesis the same as it’s always been? Or has it changed? I’m still semi new to the game

[inner tendon]

Same, except they added Manning Zoo Invaded as a way to get any random non-blueprint part that you still need, 1 per week.

[sweet loom]

So I really gotta wait each rotation for the parts🫩

[inner tendon]

Well each Invaded Stronghold will give you a specific part, with Manning Zoo Invaded just giving you one you don't have yet.

[rugged stratus]

you really only have to wait for GWH to be invaded. once you have the blueprint you can farmit with mmr target

youre able to get 2 parts needed that same week so its a 1 day project if you play it smart 😉

[rancid dirge]

Will Measured Assembly blueprints drop after this season or is there a way to get them I’m missing? Also is there no blueprint for Umbra backpack?

[sweet loom]

What’s GWH?

[rugged stratus]

invaded grand washington hotel

as long as you have 2 parts in your inventory the blueprint drops from there

[sweet loom]

Okay thanks that’s was very helpful 🫡

[spare condor]

What is the best way to find people who have Floor 90, summit.

[slim elk]

Looking for people isn't the same way as Targeting Loot, bro...

[cold pumice]

You could have literally got there yourself in the time you've been asking this

[valid vigil]

Can you Dye apparels? I saw some people with different colors of shirts and stuff

[cold pumice]

No, they're likely just different rewards from different seasons

[spare condor]

Lmao, you're right. But thanks for not answering the question and wasting both are times.

If I could get there with no issues I wouldn't be asking. My floor say 10; I go to 30. Take a small break, come back and I'm back on floor 10 again. And yes I got checkpoint.

I'm just waking up, so I apologize for being an jack, or being rude.

But no, you're 100% right on that. Plus I was just being a lazy butt

[spare condor]

I'm really sorry, I didn't mean for that to come off as rude. I'm just frustrated my checkpoint won't save.

I shouldn't have took that frustration off on you. That was wrong, I'm sorry.

[pseudo tundra]

it's really odd the checkpoints are not saving

[spare condor]

Yeah, that's why I was asking yesterday. And I feel bad, because someone came to help and their checkpoint got set to 21 even though I was on 10.

[weak finch]

Good morning agents. When leveling proficiency ranks in weapons and skills: Heroic (no directives) or Challenging (3 directives)... which one is faster? Thanks 🙏

[brisk bridge]

Personally I'd say Challenge with directives if you can't do any proper damage in Heroic

[weak finch]

I can! But found that challenging is well... much faster

[brisk bridge]

There is also that

It being faster to just plow through quickly for the xp

[reef solstice]

For stretch goals this event happens every season? or no I don’t remember well

Div2 is a balance between speed:amount, you will gradually increase both over time with practice and the right build.

So far, just this previous season and now for Stretch Goals, but they're popular so I wouldn't be shocked if we get more.

[weak finch]

Yeah I can clear heroic fast with the right build, but this iis about leveling proficiency ranks with crap weapons and skills

[inner tendon]

Just go Challenging Countdown, and set the right TL.
No need at all for Heroic.

[reef solstice]

Cool so for next season stretch goals the Lexington and turmoil will stay in the loot drop for every season of this event?

[pseudo tundra]

We dont know

[inner tendon]

^Us mods aren't informed of anything ahead of time, so the only people that might know that, work for Ubi'.

[reef solstice]

K thanks for the info fellas

[weak finch]

Im expertise level 20, pretty much skills is what i have left to level up

[inner tendon]

Same thing honestly, I just use TL mods, and donate Printer Ink.

[pseudo tundra]

Proficiency xp is based on enemy type if i am not mistaken

If they are regular, veteran or elite

[inner tendon]

Actually using skills to max their Proficiency is so 2024, here in 2025 we melt down mods.
the ingame ones, please don't melt us down.

[pseudo tundra]

Not sure if it changes by difficulty

Well just need to have them equipped

[inner tendon]

The mods method does have the added benefit of getting you a nice stock of good ones over time, but Bird' is right too, you can just throw on a random skill in the other slot for a striker build, and get it passively, for example.

[mellow trout]

The incinerator beckons

[inner tendon]

Hey that may work on glados, but some of us AI's sprung for the asbestos lining.

I'm both fire-proof, and excellent for snow on an old timey movie set!

Ultimately, there's really no rush to max out Expertise too fast, the system ain't going anywhere.

[weak finch]

Division 3 is around the corner, the grinding is ON

[inner tendon]

I don't know what clickbait youtuber told you that, but it is only announced that it's going to exist, the current community guess is "2028 at mininmum".

[fading crypt]

Id rather see them do it right, and keep div 2 going for now than shadowdrop div 3 next year

[wispy merlin]

you need more grinding help?

lol

[cold pumice]

That's a bloody big corner

[wispy merlin]

the corner is like a few revolutions of the earth away

[inner tendon]

4 days?

Wow did I miss a few updates.

[wispy merlin]

yeah just a few

[spare condor]

Hey, dose anyone know the website for making builds?

I heard/ saw people talking about it here. And want to try using it.

[rugged stratus]

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

[minor ferry]

What skills to use on this Eclipse protocol burn build?: 4 EP including both chest and pack, 1 electrique, 1 Golan or vile mask

[pseudo tundra]

Most popular one is either incendiary chem launcher or sticky

[spare condor]

Thank you, Localdeck.

[minor ferry]

should u run both?

[pseudo tundra]

Airburst seeker is also pretty strong but harder to hit

Nah, just one is fine

[minor ferry]

what to run as other thing then?

[pseudo tundra]

If you want more dot damage people like to use stinger hive for the bleed so you can double down dot damage

[sweet loom]

Anyone still got Invaded strongholds they didn’t do this week? Can I do them with you

[rugged stratus]

disagree, 2x fire skills on fire ep

[rugged stratus]

you should be able to set yours back to invaded if you need to run them a second time

[sweet loom]

Is that just by replying them? Also if I put then in legendary difficulty do I get the parts for the nemesis

[rugged stratus]

no nemesis parts on legendary. they drop from an invaded boss in each stronghold

select mission difficulty menu in map and click the button thats indicated on the bottom of menu for toggling mission mode

may need to toggle through the manhunts if its a mission/stronghold that has a legacy manhunt attached

[sweet loom]

So I got 2 parts to the nemesis the scope and the bolt, can I get the 3rd from tidal basin since I already did it but it shows I can invade again

My fault if I’m asking a lot tho 👨🏿‍🦯

[turbid igloo]

Stupid question, but does my drone's damage increase Incase I stack up striker?

[pallid lake]

1 - How do you get all 3 Priority: Invaded Mission to complete Project? I finished storyline and at least once did a week of all 3 Invaded Missions plus both Strongholds, I still am missing these 3
2 - Is there a way to update the Named Enemy locations on the interactive map website?

[rugged stratus]

the adrestia that you broke down was the piece from tidal basin.

Nemesis
Tally Scope - Tidal Basin
Blueprint - Grand Washington Hotel Invaded (Puck)
Scourge Barrel - Capitol Building Invaded (Prime)
Scales Bolt - Roosevelt Island Invaded (Shorty)
Bridle Stock - District Union Arena Invaded (Klutz)

[sweet loom]

Oooh okay now I fully understand it

[rugged stratus]

no, unfortunately

[sweet loom]

Thank you and I appreciate yo patience with me bro🙏🏾

[rugged stratus]

all good, ask away whenever youre not sure about something

[dense basalt]

You can also get a piece of Nemesis at invaded Manning

[turbid igloo]

Aw, wanted my killing bird to deal big damage

[sweet loom]

Roger that

[rugged stratus]

use capacitor as a secondary. use glass chest

[slow cairn]

i am curious. is there a way to show the buffs of striker / heartbreaker more visable. or is there no way?

[fading crypt]

I think it increases with +skill tier? Someone correct me

[reef solstice]

Quick question for stretch goals event every cache drops guaranteed one of the limited named items and you have a small chance for the exclusive exotics that how it works right?

[cold pumice]

Skill tier and anything that says "increases all damage" wording is important

[fossil nebula]

guys may i ask season bundle or season pass which one is better ? i really love this game

[visual current]

Capital Mission. Do they want me to do the Capital Building ? Thanks!!

[cold pumice]

Yes, it's the Capitol Building mission

[visual current]

Thanks!!

[torn cape]

Does the district union arena count for the enemy officers of this week's scout? The mission node is downtown east but im not sure if the arena is actually in judiciary square.

[nimble spruce]

DUA is in judiciary square, pretty sure it won't count for downtown east. Bounties are the easiest way to get those named kills.

[torn cape]

Understood, thank you

[inner tendon]

If for whatever reason you can't get Bounties there, you can also crank up Control Points to Lvl 40, and then each "wave" (of 2), will spawn 1.

[jolly elm]

Can I get the exotic parts for the Regulus from the IH raid, even though I already played it this week or do I gotta wait till the reset on Tuesday? The last part only comes from the chest, but I don’t get enough keys w one run

[nimble spruce]

No, the parts only drop with your first run of the week same as boss loot and keys.

[jolly elm]

Okay thanks

[plain galleon]

does the catalyst mask drop in open world bosses in brooklyn even if you haven't gotten it in the main mission??

or do you need to get it to drop in the final mission bvefore it drops in the open world?

[pseudo tundra]

you can get from open world brooklyn without having a copy

[valid vigil]

Is the Lexington gonna be in these Caches? I've been keeping them 😄

[fading crypt]

Quick question.
My agent is 34, no shd. Working casually through the game.
I completed (or i think) the base game (black tusk now took over) and im supposed to go to the pilot to new york, but she doesn't talk to me despite getting the notification to hear there asap every login.

I googled that supposedly the castle has an alternative pilot, but no one is there anymore, and i liberated that part of town.

Am i required to do other things first? I am a bit confused as the game isn't making it very clear to me.

[inner tendon]

@valid vigil Lex' is not a part of those, no.
It will be coming back, but only from a special cache, during a special event, that's running on the 19th, and you will need to have Lvl 100 Season Pass (which is free), there's a bonus XP event on for it right now, so get farming.

[valid vigil]

Thanks! My pass is already at a 100!

[inner tendon]

@fading crypt Double-check that you aren't going to the wrong pilot, there's 2 at the White House.
Try going to the one that's to the right of the main entrance, where all the outdoor crafting stuff is.

[fading crypt]

Right, i havent found another. So i have no remaining immediate requirements then?

[inner tendon]

It's been many years since I ran WONY from scratch, double-check there aren't any other main missions that need doing first.

[cold pumice]

No

[fading crypt]

Will do, but i dont think there are. Thanks either way

[inner tendon]

You may need to make sure Strongholds are cleared, yes again.

Oh and just before you go there, make sure you run the Coney Island missions as your final thing, it ties in perfectly to the start of the WONY DLC.

[coral surge]

so can I get the lexington now?

Is the lxington better than the St. elmos engine?

[inner tendon]

The event starts on the 19th.

And yes, but Elmo isn't super amazing or anything.

Lex' is technically the "best" AR, but it's marginally better than just a good high-end similar fire-rate gun

[coral surge]

ty ty

[cold pumice]

Elmos is arguably the meta purely because the shock rounds pull enemies from cover (making Dttooc even stronger)

[coral surge]

[plain galleon]

open world bosses respawn every 30 mins right? can i go back to DC after i kill 1 then wait 30 mins and go back to brooklyn?

or do i need to stay in brooklyn for the timer to reset?

[cold pumice]

Yes

[plain galleon]

do you guys have a map where th open world bossess spawn?

[nimble spruce]

Facing the main entrance to the white house, turn left and find the pilot sat on a chair in the garden area

Plot wise you want to clear the black tusk invasion up to tidal basin before you go

Then optionally do the other missions listed in the pinned messages

[jolly canyon]

Question agents any tips for reaching tier 5 electronics? I have a striker build with 898SHD and need (mentioned above) to finish journey 7

[reef solstice]

Kill enemies with the yellow tag I think it’s that

[nimble spruce]

Have you completed journey 5 and 6? One of them (can't remember which) gives you the electronics link active modifier that jumps you straight to tier 5 for a limited time, so just keep using that on cooldown.

[jolly canyon]

@nimble spruce yes I just got that actually last night. Ok and how exactly use on cooldown?

[nimble spruce]

Equip it as your active modifier, press whatever key it is that activates it, watch the buff icons and use it again once it's ready to go again

[jolly canyon]

@nimble spruce thanks 👍

Will do.

[drowsy lark]

im trying to get the regulus, i did the iron horse raid and i did not get the 2 projects, what do i do?

[nimble spruce]

Did you run it on discovery or normal difficulty?

[drowsy lark]

discovery cuz i couldnt find a game

[nimble spruce]

You only get the projects and raid exclusives on Normal - use #lfg-raid-pc or the community/GCRock discords to find a group, since you can't matchmake for Normal in-game

[drowsy lark]

ohh

okay ty

[jolly canyon]

Tier 5 in firearms for journey 8? Tips?

[valid vigil]

Is the contractor gloves in any vendors right now? 😄

[jolly elm]

Any tips on how to get the Coyote mask

[topaz gale]

Countdown and target mask most likely

[nimble spruce]

Same as for the electronics one except switch your active modifier to the firearms one

[minor ferry]

does a certain objective in CD net you more loot generally?

[pseudo tundra]

Not really since its just from enemies and the big chests

[minor ferry]

highest DPS rifle with boomerang for a CD dps build?

[cold pumice]

@wraith flare

[rugged stratus]

M1a cqb afaik.

[elder seal]

what difficulty do bounties have to be on to get assessment blue prints

[pseudo tundra]

I think you get them from control points not bounties

[rugged stratus]

level 3 or 4 cp. i think they are available from summit boss floors as well

[elder seal]

is it better to do heroic control points or challenging for a better chance

[rugged stratus]

youll get a blueprint each takeover regardless of challenging or heroic.
personally i would go with heroic and a couple easy directives to make good xp gains while farming the blueprints

[late breach]

Anyone have issue with after completing the 7 hunters and the map not activating to get to the final hunter in brooklyn?

[silver shard]

Hey guys... i just got to level 40.. i think just left a few story mission like stronghold / zoo etc... but once i have finish all that... can anyone advise what is the game mode or mission that i MUST do weekly or daily? like something that i have to start right away for grinding purpose to make it efficient... because i notice once i hit 40 and then finish main story mission, there is sooo much stuff i can do so i am pretty lost... manhunt... projects... invaded.. stronghold..
so my question.. like what game mode i should actually start playing so i wont be like after few months later and ill be regret saying arghhh i should do this at first!!!!

regardless of whether should i require a build first for whatever certain game mode, that one i will sort it out separately

[rancid dirge]

Do manhunts. Final story for the season coming soon and you’ll want to be caught up.

[steep void]

first play some challenging countdown with matchmake and target striker/cheska gear and make a proper striker build
then focus on unlocking specialization or gaining points on them
do control points from time to time to get blueprints, there r 100+ to collect now
play manhunt scout 8 & 12 to play climax mission maybe
forget about journey as season is ending soon anyway
hope u get to season level 100 before next tuesday so u can get a lots of good rewards coming in stretch goals

[silver shard]

how about weekly raid / incursion / projects? so may i know whether it is ok like to skip them first which it is ok to on hold for their rewards?

[valid vigil]

Yo, why is everyone getting DCed right before extraction in countdown lol

[steep void]

nobody gonna help u for raid/incursion until u have proper gears and weekly project or daily is not worth it anymore, u can get faster rewards with priority objectives now than those

[steep void]

cz they r opening chests or taking loot from that opened chest, its bugged game crashes with it

[silver shard]

ahh, no worries on that i can sort it out my own, just wanna know among so many game modes which one i should not miss out

[cold pumice]

Heroic is better, because it has a chance to drop a blueprint from the loot chest once per day

[inner tendon]

@cold pumice Did they add more to the pool, or is it still only the 2?

[cold pumice]

I don't recall ever actually having one drop from the chest, but there again I don't tend to check 😅 so I don't know

I did finally get the FRD blueprint though....4th from last 🤣🤣

[inner tendon]

2 specific blueprints drop from the Heroic Chest, but afaik it's only 2, and we've never been given a concrete answer on it if's intentional or not.

and yes: you can get repeats, making me think it's not a thing that should be happening.

[topaz herald]

no u cant, you need to complete the raid on normal and open the chest at the end for the final component :)

ur welcome :D

haha no ur not supposed to its a glitch sadly😫 it says normal but its matchmaking on discovery

😞yea, im sure there are lots of people willing to help you out tho :D try the lfg channels :)

lots of people run raids daily :)

goodluck with getting the components :D

[supple bane]

Does iron lung fire bullets also set fire to ND tagged enemies?

[half karma]

what is it that causes the bottom door of the Mast to open sometimes?
