[inner tendon]

The newly added pilot that no one knew was there until we walked over to an area that almost no one ever goes to?

[bold tiger]

so true

[inner tendon]

Why we couldn't just use the same pilot as WONY I will never know.

instead he get one named after a brand of helicopter.

I guess they were born for their job.

[bold tiger]

maybe it goes on something like a train rail. one train to goto one place another train to go to another place?

but i agree, would've been easier to put them on that pilot we goto for countdown and just have a lot of selections there

[inner tendon]

There is a floating icon that leads you over there as well, it's not just an audio message.

[turbid igloo]

How do y'all play all red builds

Without dying constantly because it really tingles my brain

[pseudo tundra]

Carefully

[bold tiger]

things die but sometimes i do to

[frail root]

when the employers saw their resume they instantly got the job

[turbid igloo]

Wise

[pseudo tundra]

You can try nimble holster also

[frail root]

best deffense is something something huge damage

[bold tiger]

i had a great teacher
put on sacrifice/ got a gift? put that on too then a third providence, now put on fox's and contractor's then let's goto town XD

[narrow kraken]

What's the difference between these priority missions? And what order should I do missions, I'm level 35 and just started the black tusk invasion

[nimble spruce]

You just pick whatever appeals most - strongholds are generally longer than missions but give bigger rewards.
As for order, do the invaded strongholds and tidal basin, then check the pinned messages in this channel for the order of the other new missions

[narrow kraken]

Ah okay thank you, what's the difference between the priority things in the progression tab though? as opposed to the ones next to the journey menu

[nimble spruce]

the ones in the seasons menu are a relatively new thing (last few seasons) that are just randomly generated tasks for extra rewards. The ones in the progression tab date from the original game development and are designed to push you through the story in the correct order

[narrow kraken]

oo okay, much appreciated thank you

[cyan gyro]

Is the current season's climax mission like other recent ones where there's no extra cutscenes, nothing happens, it's just about the mission rewards?

[eternal edge]

are there even any good mods for reviver hive?

[wispy merlin]

yep

[cyan gyro]

Thanks, I keep thinking something's wrong

[bold tiger]

there's a revive armor mod, then i think just range and health for the hive

[eternal edge]

a revive mod? wats tht do

[wispy merlin]

"reviver armor repair" is the name, it heals more when reviving

[eternal edge]

hows it heal more when reviving

[wispy merlin]

by default it revives you with some armor, the mod increases that

you can check the skill description

[eternal edge]

no skill haste?

[wispy merlin]

it's 5%, not that impactful

[ember scarab]

I recently started playing the division again I got a few questions in regards to end game & world tiers.
How do I access world tiers I have completed both the mainstory & warlords of New York dlc. I replayed the stronholds missions but I still dont see an option to move up the world tiers my watch level is 36.

[bold tiger]

world tiers was a thing of the past, before Warlords of New York, a couple seasons they did away with them permanently since you can go 1-40 in dc alone now if you wanted

[eternal edge]

the skill haste is or the revive armor repair

[limpid sequoia]

is the huntsman any good for pve?
or is it just not worth it

[wispy merlin]

skill haste

[eternal edge]

well is it possible to have the skill haste and revive armor repair on at the same time

[bold tiger]

1 5% skill haste on the revive hive won't be short enough to even need to be used. it might shave a second or 3

[eternal edge]

yea but every other mod iss crap for it lol

[wispy merlin]

i forgor, tbf i don't run revive hive much but reviver armor repair makes more sense to me. if running a dedicated reviver build you should be getting skill haste from attributes on gear

[ember scarab]

Thanks. So what is there to do after end game? Im trying to obtain better drops for gear & exotic weapons my current gear drops are level 40

[eternal edge]

its not for a build its just to have a revive if i go down

[wispy merlin]

yeah just reviver armor repair then

[eternal edge]

ill still throw on the skill haste since theres nothing else

[cyan gyro]

So I've beaten the newest climax mission a couple times but have not gotten the final 14th audio log to drop. I found the one sitting in a room but... is this bug people have talked about for the climax mission affecting the audio file dropping too?

[bold tiger]

level 40 is the max for gears and weapons
countdown is the highest thing people will tell you to do for a build since you can set your target loot for it yourself

@ember scarabin teh #td2-build-advice there's a pin in the upper right hand corner that you can see a list of builds

[forest storm]

how to get the named holster claws out?

[bold tiger]

named caches, hardest way legacy caches, think dz and conflict caches as well. maybe descent in a reconstructed cache

[forest storm]

Thank you!

[cyan gyro]

Or to ask differently, did anyone have trouble getting the audio log to drop for beating the new season's climax mission?

[forest storm]

It dropped for me. No issues

[calm rivet]

Any1 here already collected all arm patches from stretch goals? I just want check if i already have all or no??

Its those that i put red dots?

I dont remember which one is from this event or previous ones 😅

[bold tiger]

i could check, but i got too many patches to look through so i don't bother looking honestly

[calm rivet]

Tysm, i dont know if some are from last summer event or something else

😅😂

[wispy merlin]

if it helps, i don't recognize any of the ones with the red dots

so they may all be coming from this event

[calm rivet]

Tysm! I didnt checked any after open caches, just the flamingo one

[bold tiger]

i honestly can't stand when i go into my inventory there's some indicator to something new so i always check those off and didn't keep track of the patches honestly

[calm rivet]

Like me! Its just to know if i can stop to farm those caches

[bold tiger]

you don't need extra materials? (> <)

[calm rivet]

I have 90k+ from all mats

[bold tiger]

nah, you need more definitely (> <)

[calm rivet]

All builds on exp30.. all skills on exp30, except by smart cover

My stash already have 60/60 boxes with materials

Was just for the cosmetics

[bold tiger]

you need to be in the 999k+ (> <)

[calm rivet]

U give me a great idea! Create a mule, open all those caches, then share the watch

Then i can pass from 90k+ without spent watch points

[bold tiger]

lol XD

[calm rivet]

Tysm 🫶

[rain crown]

Very new to the endgame, if I'm trying to run a striker build roughly where should my armor/health be before I attempt to find a team to do master manhunt mission?

[nocturne siren]

3 red 3 blue will suffice. Add or remove blues/reds to fit your playstyle

[rain crown]

Thank you!

[wide jolt]

Patch - Flamingo, Cocktail, Wasp, Fireworks

I think you got all 4.

[calm rivet]

Ty guys for all who answered me!

[calm rivet]

“3” reds and blue.. Striker with memento, and chest with obliterate, i personally enjoy palisade.. for armor on kill..

Main weapon a fast smg to keep all the stacks.. i use most ouroboros/chatterbox/backfire.. secondary lexignton/ctar-21 with measured.. U can do almost any content of the game with this build..

With Backfire full stacked u can deal 1.300.000+ per bullet having just 2 reds from striker + 1 red from memento.. with modifiers on 1.700.000 + per bullet

But im exp30.. but the dmg wont be extremely different

[rugged plank]

meet god

[calm rivet]

Nah

Tried with sadist and spotter, was my first idea.. stack maximum possible amp dmg.. dindt enjoyed

[rugged plank]

spotter ?

nah fam sadist and frenzy wttf

[forest storm]

what exactly are attributes and bonuses here?

[wide jolt]

Attributes - Your Firearms, Stamina, Electronics count
Bonus - Bonus from these attributes (This should be listed in your main modifier page, the top one)

[rugged plank]

with the gr9 250 rounds thats 75% damge and rate of fire @calm rivet

with another 30% from sadist

[forest storm]

Not sure what attributes are frozen means. I do find the firearms and electronic count increases as I kill enemies with those symbols. So how are they frozen? 🤔

[rugged plank]

it goes frozen when you activate it

[wide jolt]

If you got 3 in Firearms and you activate active modifier, you freeze it at 3 and it doesnt increase further.

[forest storm]

Oh okay yeah that's what I thought too but was confused since the activation conditions are listed separately

[last dragon]

are others able to join you after you've entered the no respawn zone for a boss in a mission/stronghold? Can't seem to call for backup or bring back matchmaking after dying a few times to a boss

[final sigil]

can I get your build?

[wide jolt]

Probably 3 piece HH, 3 piece IA (Chest, Backpack, Filler)

[astral hamlet]

Anyone notice that the Turmoil kneepads have no expertise on them?

[steep void]

thats how it is from the start

[nocturne siren]

(https://mxswat.github.io/mx-division-builds/#/IwBgtMDsEwzG5EOU1CBckAcYAsNgx4AmQtclDXYvAoiECpldANgFZbCzLnz1Y+YDljQefXi1b4hMCX3QBOTkODdOxeO05NM8fLE6L4i1mEX5lkkOmJZoqwvnDTrRG6wE55t+QiA) [Harvester 1 shot pistol build]

Be mindful build tool is bugging out Claw's out, which requires HSD on the holster and for the yellow core to be rolled to red core. On build tool, it applies the pistol damage attribute twice. It only has the one 11% pistol damage attribute in-game. Also be mindful the second attribute to IA is 100% increased threat reduction. Meaning, enemies will be a bit more aggressive towards you. This is for SOLO PLAY ONLY

[green wyvern]

probably another good choice would be dch tbh so you could get stacked easier

[nocturne siren]

You can use sharpshooter specialization for the increased utility of the marksman rifles. You can use firewall for the striker shield for more damage in close proximity. I chose gunner for the armor on kill so that way if I'm in a pinch I can sorta keep my armor topped off without kitting so much by just scoring kills

[nocturne siren]

Worsens the overall performance of harvester in the long run

I've already tested it. If you need a quick stack, snipe an enemy with Nemesis and swap to harvest afterwards

Hit a headshot, done. Now you can kill everything

[green wyvern]

yeah ik but im idk what would be better if dont have a claws out and dont wanna get one either

[nocturne siren]

It's a very unicorn piece to get. I was lucky I had one from forever ago for a bonk build I made when I was around SHD 1k

Dodge City will work, just the only problem is that you'll be using harvester once in a blue moon instead of it being the main focus. Which at that rate just don't use harvester at all and run Hotshot

[oak gazelle]

I'd go for Fox Prayers or something, to get the out of cover damage, much higher than the additional 11% pistol damage.

[nocturne siren]

I can give that a test later today and see if it improves it or not 👌

Want me to @ you if it does? Will need to hopefully craft an IA holster

[nocturne siren]

On build tool, even with the buggy calculations, it appears to increase damage marginally. On Build Station, it appears to worsen it. Unable to login right now, was hoping to see a better calculation, but sadly it's looking like my answer is unclear. I'll be on in about 4 hours to give this a proper test. But you might be right/wrong depending on which build calculator is more accurate

[oak gazelle]

Feel free, but I already know the outcome.
With the additional weapon damage you just add on top of the already high amount of weapon damage you have, by increasing a multiplier you will get more out of it.

[nocturne siren]

Build tool is giving me 3.7m damage up front without factoring talents and Fox's and build station is giving me 3.2m up front without factoring in talents and only Fox's

[nocturne siren]

You're likely right. When I pieced the build together I used what pieces I had and tried to refrain from crafting and farming. Fox's wasn't on that list so 😂😂

[oak gazelle]

you have 100% weapon damage plus 90% pistol damage (without claws out bonus)

190% + 11% = 201%
201% / 190% = ~5.8% increase in damage

while taking the Fox Prayers will get you
190% x 10% = 209%
190% x (10% + 8%) = 224%
224% / 209% = ~7,2% increase

DTTOC only applies for enemies that are out of cover, but that isn't an issue in most instances, because you're pushing enemies out of cover most of the time with this anyways
you could argue that red enemies are always one shots, another option would be a 2nd Walker Harris piece for armor damage or the Contractor gloves

[nocturne siren]

Just calculated it, math checks out, got the same numbers you did. I can 1 shot nearly all reds regardless and even rusher yellows. But this might allow me to do it even easier even with Ragers

DTOC doesn't increase regulus explosion, does it? I tried to keep that in mind as well. Last I recall, it scales off of pistol damage. I know DTOC is an overall boost but not sure if reg explo scales with that too

[oak gazelle]

in most cases it does
but haven't tested it in particular, so no definite answer here

[nocturne siren]

Got it. Your help is much appreciated 🙏I'll factor in that testing later. Pretty hyped to make my farming build even more powerful

[oak gazelle]

You're welcome.

[raven rapids]

Is manhunt patched yet? Did it with friend other day both of us dps and bugged out and wouldnt spawn boss

[pseudo tundra]

Not yet

[mystic hinge]

So apparently you have to redeem the chests in the group (not open it but even get it while in a group) to make the items sharable? I opened 20 chests and couldnt share any loot with my group 🙁

[nocturne siren]

Might have to stay in the group with the original people

[mystic hinge]

Yea., i just claimed the chests solo and invited people to share it - got turmoil and lex but couldnt drop any 🙁

Lessons learnt I guess

[nocturne siren]

Yeah doesn't work that way. When you collect the cache, open the cache, it's only shareable to those in the group when you collected it

[nimble spruce]

not a major problem if you understand that's the process though, as you can easily earn the caches solo and just hold off claiming them until you're in a group

[supple bane]

The incursion bosses have 1% ouro drop chance even after weekly clear right?

[nimble spruce]

yup, 1% every run

[dense whale]

3 lexingtons from the grind at this point

[supple bane]

And are each lovebird individual or shared?

[nimble spruce]

individual, so 3 chances per run (moss doesn't drop it apparently)

[wraith stag]

if im farming the mask on heroic from the newest manhunt it just drops from keiko right?

or do i have to complete the whole mission

[supple bane]

Whos moss again?
They the final heavy at the tanker you gotta shred?

[dense whale]

the game will reward you after the mission ends

but not guaranteed on heroic

[nocturne siren]

I need just 1 more then I'll have 1 for each character 😭😭

I'm near event level 200 rn

[dense whale]

i am at 151

[mellow trout]

Yes

[supple bane]

Intriguing

[mellow trout]

He's technically just a named goon not a boss so he can't drop it

[nocturne siren]

I remember when goon meant how you said it and not the other meaning... Oh how the Internet has changed and not for the better

[mellow trout]

😔

[nocturne siren]

Rip braincells 😞

[dense whale]

goon:🔫 😤
also goon: 😈

[nocturne siren]

There's a clip on Asmond gold's channel about it. Video is titled "this is disturbing". I think uploaded on Saturday. Go give it a watch and prepare to be disappointed

[wraith stag]

lel thought it was like the drone on dlc. thanks

[dense whale]

Asmongold himself is disgusting and disappointed

[nocturne siren]

Probably, but the clip he covered was next level disturbing and sad

[supple bane]

Lettuce let the channel go back to something more on topic

[wraith stag]

is this a good thing

[unique crypt]

are you Logan "Aggro" Smitts?

[nocturne siren]

what the actual fk happened to your armor bar 💀

[wraith stag]

idk

[nocturne siren]

💀

bro has an arabic armor bar that displays right to left 😭

[wraith stag]

no joke ive never had this happen before

[final sigil]

Thanks. I have a very similar one. I wanted to check lol.

[nocturne siren]

im testing with fox's prayer rn

[final sigil]

Perhaps this is what happens if the ui doesn't shrink the armor bars to fit in the ui

[final sigil]

Checks out

[wraith stag]

I have tested this a lot and i learned perfect ck was not worth it

i gotta find my build its on a different account

[nocturne siren]

first image with Fox's, second without (running claw's out)

numbers being everywhere is due to range consistency

[wraith stag]

I believe my testing buddy and i settled on moving the IA piece to chest with headhunter and using dodge city to start the chain

also definitely were not on gunner

[nocturne siren]

within 5 meters with claws out, this is what you get on an Elite

with Fox's this is what you get

target same distance and attributes for damage are all maxed out

so weirdly enough, fox's is actually worse for the build

[final sigil]

Might stick to claws out just because I have a habit of shooting people in cover

Oh thats kinda wacky.

[wraith stag]

there is a certain point with most ads that those damage numbers are functionally identical

[nocturne siren]

modifiers off with fox's:

[wraith stag]

1 billion is killing most things anyway

[nocturne siren]

modifiers off with claw's out:

fox's makes it worse. very very odd

[inland mica]

Is it a known bug that I cant take screenshots with win+shift+s ?
Every time i try to do so it tabs me out of the game - doesnt even open snipping tool

[nocturne siren]

are you in exclusive full screen?

[inland mica]

Got it, thank you.

[nocturne siren]

@oak gazelle did some testing with Fox's compared to Claw's out, and Claw's out gives me more damage. screenshots are above this current message. I lose out on about nearly 100k total damage taking fox's. Super weird, mathematically using fox's should give more total damage due to the DTTOC attribute

tested with modifiers, without modifiers, all attributes that give damage are maxed out. I swapped around the mod that gives only 10% hsd compared to the mod that gives 15% with 25% reduction to optimal range. close range is a no brainer for more damage. but even with fox's comparing mods, claw's out gives more

[inland mica]

Im returning to the game, checked out my stats.
Arent these stats quite poor?

If yes, what should i look out for when it comes to maximizing damage with St. Elmos x Strikers build ?
Cuz my mods are maxed out, all mods that I've put onto my gear are Crit Damage mods - my SHD Level is only 178 so ill be able to get my stats up that way also once I leveled up.

So yeah, are these stats fine? poor? what can be done?

My Elmo is also maxed out on stats with "Dmg to target out of cover" as the 3rd attribute

[nocturne siren]

focus CHC in the watch as you level up. stay in mid range with coyote's and youll be fine

[nocturne siren]

those stats are right where you wanna be at. as you level the watch up youll be fine

watch damage priority: CHC, CHD, WD

[inland mica]

Yea I went all into chc and will be focusing chd afterwards

[nocturne siren]

what are the mods for your chest, mask, backpack?

[inland mica]

All crit damage

[nocturne siren]

swap to crit chance on one or two pieces

then focus crit damage in the watch

[inland mica]

So no more chc focusing on the watch but swapping out one/two pieces for chc?

[nocturne siren]

if you havent max'd out the chc box in the watch, keep doing so until its full. swap 1 crit damage mod off your gear and slap on a chc mod

after chc in the watch is full, focus chd next

[inland mica]

Ahh gotcha, thought you meant right away

Alright. Thank you.
That'd be +5.5% chc and -11.5 chd

[nocturne siren]

thatll put you at about 50-53 % chc and about 120 % chd for the meantime

yeah more crit chance is always worth it over more crit damage. if you aint crittin, you aint hittin

[inland mica]

True that, thank you

Also, I dont remember anymore but when does a new player get access to co-op / online?
Neighbor wants to play with me but his social tab is red yet

[nocturne siren]

i think he has to make it to the white house in the beginning of the game (assuming he/she hasnt boosted yet). keep playing, eventually itll unlock

if they boosted to NY from WONY, they need to reach the main safe area. if Brooklyn, they need to make it to the bridge settlement area

[turbid igloo]

When the build so ahh your health becomes negative

[nocturne siren]

glass cannon users:

[turbid igloo]

Fr

[wraith stag]

glass cannon is the best chest talent in the game for using horrible things that would never be about to do enough damage

this is an obliterate sticker elmo though sadly

[turbid igloo]

[wraith stag]

yes this is one of the reasons to use china light glass cannon chest

if merciless and china light worked like it used to there would be a pretty sweet cl+merc+umbra or sticker hybrid build imo

[oak gazelle]

oh really?
maybe I can try and test it myself later, seems odd tbh
only reason that could explain it I think would be claws out actually giving multiplicative damage to the pistol
thanks for testing tho

[nocturne siren]

yeah i cant debunk it. bear in mind I did testing in the range but I doubt that would actually matter. its super super weird

[wispy merlin]

if hh is involved it's because the extra weapon damage from claws out benefits the hh bonus, while dttooc doesn't

claws out doesn't give "multiplicative" damage, it's just weapon damage, we all know how much hh loves weapon damage

[nocturne siren]

damn wow so my build is best optimal? thats a first 💀

[wispy merlin]

contractor may be better but i don't like being reliant on the enemy having armor tho.

unlike dttooc, dta does multiply hh bonus

[nocturne siren]

Ill likely just leave my build how it is since im hitting 20m+ with modifiers... something about it makes me tickle my brain when i hit for as much as a MMR with just a high end pistol

[oak gazelle]

that probably explains it

[elder seal]

what is the fastest way to level up currently? i figured it would be control points with all directives but wanted to ask

[nimble spruce]

For regular shd xp, yes that's your best bet (there are faster methods but they border on exploits)

[elder seal]

yea i’m just trying to level up and use my scavenging points toward printer filament for expertise

[nocturne siren]

donate junk for that, and in the meantime, dump expertise where you can

[forest storm]

what is this text log? I'm not sure how I even collected it so far

[jolly canyon]

Finally finished manager climax mission on Master! My first master mission completed 💪😁 I'm still in shock

[wispy merlin]

congrats

[supple bane]

Id be careful being in shock. Your completion might be rescinded for DOT effects

[jolly canyon]

Haha what do you mean by that

[supple bane]

The climax mission is/was bugged to where it would become incompletable if you hit the boss with DoT (damage over time) effects. I was just joking that your shock (also a status in game) would undo/rescind your completion

[jolly canyon]

Oh haha 🤣 good one btw! Yes I encountered the glitch multiple times but got through it

[supple bane]

I did master first try luckily bc my lfg team locked in and got it done

[charred maple]

Maybe its the 16 world boss cards thing.

[minor ferry]

Why is JTC and DCD greyed out?? I didnt already do them and im in my own session, not someone else's

[forest storm]

Do I need to complete them all? Because it just says 3. I've collected 9 and read through them all.

[forest storm]

It's because they are showing up in your map as normal missions. The invaded ones a red. If you toggle the mode, it will show correctly here

[unique crypt]

so I don't think this situation would ever occur, but if you have two people running True Patriot, one with the backpack and one without, how does that affect the values of the flags applied to enemies?

does the larger value (12% damage vs. 8% damage) win out? or is it the first flag applied, or the most recent? what about if one person applies the red and another applies the blue?

[nocturne siren]

thats actually a really good question. somebody would have to test that

[wispy merlin]

not a direct answer but i can say for opportunistic. i did an experiment where player A had normal oppo and player B had perfect oppo.

• player A applied normal oppo
• while oppo debuff still exists, player B shot with shotgun to attempt to apply perfect oppo
• damage comparisons show normal oppo is still in effect, not perfect oppo
• only when the debuff ends can player B successfully apply perfect oppo

and vice versa

considering how TP also applies a debuff, you can make an educated guess that this also holds for TP

of course i'd be most confident testing directly with TP

[unique crypt]

ah neat, so it's probably based on the first one applied

[inner tendon]

@minor ferry You will need to do the lead-up Invaded Missions in order to get access to the Invaded version for the week.

[minor ferry]

Ive heard that an invaded manning national zoo drops a random part of nemesis that you dont yet have. Will it still reward a component even if I dont first do this first clue step in Tidal Basin?

[inner tendon]

@minor ferry You need to get the Adrestia+dismantle it from Tidal Basin in order to "unlock" the rest of the Project.
tl;dr run the Invaded missions > do Tidal Basin and break down the Adrestia > re-run the Invaded Stronghold that you've already done ("toggle mission mode").

Once you have the part from Manning Zoo, you should be able to go back to JTC again and re-run the first boss, it shold give you the blueprint, if I'm remembering correctly.

After that, it's just a matter of running the other Strongholds per/week, but with the blueprint, the Nemesis gets added to your loot pool

[minor ferry]

how do i get adrestia?

[inner tendon]

In Tidal Basin, where you fight the first turret then go inside a building to activate the thing, go upstairs and there's a key on a bunk.
Once you get to the Hovercraft at the end, you can use the key to unlock a door that's before the final boss, but after the main room.

a weapon case inside has the Adrestia, make sure you break it down.

[minor ferry]

Does tidal basin have to be invaded to get adrestia?

[inner tendon]

Tidal Basin can't be invaded.

[minor ferry]

oh

[inner tendon]

for some reason the icon shows Invaded, it's probably just because you need to do the lead-up missions to unlock it again.

[minor ferry]

why do i have to run invaded mission before doing tidal basin to get adrestia?

[inner tendon]

To unlock Tidal Basin, if you can just go straight there, do it.

If you want a hand during it, "call for backup", and recall each time someone joins, up to a max of 4.
It's far faster than matchmaking.

oh and make sure you aren't playing it on Story, obviously.

[minor ferry]

dude why tf do i already have the Tally and the Bridle in my resources tab if the project board looks like that???

@inner tendon

[inner tendon]

That just means you don't have the blueprint, which is good news.
Go run Jefferson Trade Centre invaded before reset today, and the first boss should give it to you.

You want to do it today, because it's RNG if that mission is going to be Invaded again for a while.

[minor ferry]

wtf.... why does jefferson mission come into the equation to get nemesis

[inner tendon]

Right now.

The JTC boss only drops the Nemesis BP once you have any 2 parts of Nemesis.

[minor ferry]

i am so confused. doesnt subsequent parts only drop if I have started this first part of the project??

[inner tendon]

If you have the other 2 parts, then you have started the Project.

[minor ferry]

how do i see that?

is there a menu showing me ive started it somewhere

[inner tendon]

you said here.

[minor ferry]

how do i know that has started the project. Can i see a clear statement anywhere that shows the nemesis sniper project is underway?

[inner tendon]

I haven't needed to do the Project since April of 2019, I am running on fumes here.

[minor ferry]

wym?

anyway. is the part you mentioned a garantueed reward frm JTC mission or a drop chance?

[inner tendon]

Nemesis was the first Project to be added with the Invaded update, 6-7 years ago.
If you have 2 Nemesis parts, the blueprint will guaranteed drop from the first boss.

[minor ferry]

from JTC mission?

[inner tendon]

Yes.

[minor ferry]

why does this say that you get the blueprint from grand washington hotel?

[wispy merlin]

i think you mean Grand Washington Hotel rivens

all good tho if you've last done it that long ago

[inner tendon]

I've been awake for 72 hours, yeah it's GWH.

Insomnia is a real PITA.

[minor ferry]

wait have i already dismantled the adrestia since i have the tally?

@wispy merlin my crafting page says this rn but i already got the Tally scope. wtf is happing hahah

[eternal edge]

anyone else think they need to rework the rewards of the caches?

[nocturne siren]

lots of us here do, but our voices wont go very far

[eternal edge]

very true. the wasp set is supposed to be 50% but i havent even been getting those. ive just been getting nothing

[nocturne siren]

should be 50/50 chance per opening to get a bonus item due to not having the wasp set

[eternal edge]

should be yes lol

but not for me apparently

[nocturne siren]

dont feel too bad. theres people hundreds of levels in and have yet to see 1 single lexington

[eternal edge]

ive gotten like 6 of em lol. ive dismantled em all

imo the winter items do not need to be in the rewards

[inner tendon]

Nor the Hunter Cache ones.

I mean, Cassie has them.

[final sigil]

I feel kinda bad tbh. first box i opened wes a lexi. I already have 2 from when they were given out. Its such a staple gun they should have made it more widely avabilable.

[inner tendon]

It's such a tiny increase over a regular gun, that the obsession that people have with it always blows my mind.

[final sigil]

True it is very minor. I like it cause of the skins + reminds me of Div 1

[inner tendon]

I had to farm that stupid mission 101 times to get the exotic in div1, so I have....less of an attachment.

[final sigil]

ngl no idea what exotic you are talking about but, I ment it as just using the Lova. I had the urban mdr and lova on me as my go to. The lova-c (rifle) is so awful in div 2. its recoil is just plain bad.

[nocturne siren]

UIC is probably the best rifle apart from the M1A. I dont see too many using the 3r burst M16 with boomerang. it hits pretty good on the right setup

[final sigil]

I want to make a rifle setup but I just dont vibe with A&8's

[nocturne siren]

I can slide a build that works beautifully for rifles

hell, can even make ravvy work for it too

[final sigil]

raid exotics? what are those? 😭

[nocturne siren]

me with dupes of each 😭

[final sigil]

make vindicator work and that would be a real achivement.

pleae dont

[oak gazelle]

just did an rifle high end build with spotter, vigilance and tinkerer
also using turmoil and boomerrang + killer

[nocturne siren]

youd be surprised this build might actually make it sorta work

[oak gazelle]

feels like every rifle build lacks survivability and if you build into it, it lacks damage

[final sigil]

thats every red build though.

[nocturne siren]

@final sigil you must not have touched this one then

[final sigil]

dmg > eating bullets

[nocturne siren]

all im gonna say is, just give this one a try

[final sigil]

sure I can make all that very fast.

[nocturne siren]

its all crit

[oak gazelle]

I'll try the M16A2 just for fun, but I still think the gun is bad 😄

[final sigil]

why 3 zwia? do rifles really need that 30%?

[oak gazelle]

yea but I feel like rifle gear sets suck as well

[final sigil]

its true that rifle sets are lack luster but thats because they are gouped with sniper sets for some reason. Just recently they added A&8 to let rifles work.

we havent had a really true rifle set that isnt just. hit headshot = big number

[jolly elm]

Anyone know how long the Event with the Lexington & Co goes?

[final sigil]

2 weeks 10hrs

[oak gazelle]

svd meta was crazy and I'd like a rifle set that works like it
I'll look into it tomorrow

[oak gazelle]

guess if you want a spammy rifle build that's needed, at least for something like police mk17 or even more for lightweight m4/lvoa-c

they all lack weapon handling at full auto

[final sigil]

breakpoint + dread edict might be a fun combo if you want to use the svd

[oak gazelle]

nah I don't want to use it, I just liked the meta back in the day with Opportunistic stacking etc.
raids were fun

[inner tendon]

dw, not related to div2 at all.

[nocturne siren]

compressing the clip rn ill show you what it does

i went 3 zwia for the accuracy and weapon handling. rifles bounce a lot when firing fully auto and the accuracy could be way better on them. for distance play, theyre god awful depending on the rifle

also boosts rifle damage. same with fox's because its rifles brandset

[final sigil]

that is very fair. id rather Qol over dps

[nocturne siren]

@oak gazelle (ignore my music) heres the build in action at least in the range. im too lazy to run a mission but as long as you know how to run it like striker, it hits the same way

notice how little everything bounces 👌 Ravvy SHREDS

modifiers make little difference as well but the extra help is good too

[oak gazelle]

doesn't look bad, I will try the M16 tomorrow
my build looks almost the same, just different talents, I used spotter and vigilance and tinkerer instead of coyotes

thought about adding a bit of survivability with palisade gloves and get rid of contractors
should be fine with AOK from gunner spec

[pseudo tundra]

M16 is fine

t. weirdo who likes using weirdo weapons

[oak gazelle]

no offense, but I think it was trash before full auto 😄

[nocturne siren]

hopefully this will showcase the playstyle for you a bit (figured I'd tag you too, @final sigil )

im not much of a KBM player anymore. if I was on controller I'd be playing alot more aggressive

[oak gazelle]

TAA off enjoyer?

[nocturne siren]

I have a custom graphics config for PVP so basically all my settings are dumped on purpose. allows me to see things much more clearer in the distance in DZ. everything pops

[oak gazelle]

#1380193794481459352 message
I just wish they'd make it available through the menu, but yea helps with clarity

[pseudo tundra]

But it was always burst fire

[oak gazelle]

just didn't feel good and I think the damage was also buffed recently
but for the clips @nocturne siren is posting, it looks really good and accurate atm

[nocturne siren]

agreed

[nocturne siren]

people are sleeping pretty hard on it. im running stability and accuracy mods btw. no crit mods whatsoever

[pseudo tundra]

Rifles with handling are just ARs that hit really hard

[nocturne siren]

they really are. i jokingly sometimes call this my "vietnam" build bc of the m16

[oak gazelle]

directly have Creedence Clearwater Revival in my ears

[acoustic relic]

Divison 2 is on sale how is it overall?

[pseudo tundra]

Doing pretty well, more content to come and other stuff for the future

[acoustic relic]

How's end game?

[pseudo tundra]

Plenty to do

Lots of stuff to collect and do, some are long term so no rushing it

[narrow kraken]

Just hit level 40 today, should I focus on maxxing out my library first or the expertise

[slim elk]

check pins

[high glade]

Library so you can properly modify gear. Expertise is kind of nice late game, but not required at all for 99.9% of things.

[narrow kraken]

Thank you

[high glade]

That said, you can work on both kind of simultaneously. Extract the good attributes and donate the other items you don't want/need.

[golden ferry]

Can anyone give me some tips on what i should be doing? Or am i just meant to do whatever i like now?
My level

I also been collecting library stuff and attributes

[pearl pasture]

Shd level 1000 will have your watch stats maxed, at 2000 you stop gaining health. But be warned once you hit 1000 shd your dz brackets are ONLY 1000+ meaning you find the mean mfers with full expertise. Getting library rolls is great, focus on that an working on proficiencies in the background. Basically just pick up items as junk and donate them in the expertise tab of the tinker station. Getting a good build or two together will help a lot too such as a striker build with elmos or a hotshot build with determined (MR talent) and headhunter (chest talent). Countdown is a great way for farming items. Just do challenging and follow your group and do the objectives. Cateful not to die at the extraction as you do not respawn. You can select the loot you want to target too for countdown. For story based stuff i'd say work your way through the legacy manhunts. You will unlock a few more skills from those too (achilies pulse, emp sticky bomb, repair trap). Assuming you have and have finished the dlcs. If not WONY is usually cheap and has a lot of nice stuff and a decent story that leads into the legacy manhunts. BFB is the newest one and is much lighter but still great. WONY has more skill unlocks but BFB comes with the smart cover varients which are pretty nice. Also finishing the season pass will let you start the stretch goals event and although it is a bit of a rough grind it has access to a lot of special and hard to obtain items if you get lucky. Plus some free cosmetic stuff. Priority objectives for missions/strongholds work best and if you can then do challenging or ideally heroic.

[inner tendon]

how was that not filtered.

[pearl pasture]

Me?

[inner tendon]

it's 1609 characters.

[pearl pasture]

I have no idea, sorry. Should i remove it?

[inner tendon]

nah you're good, just careful in the future. if it auto-filters you, it might be mean and just nuke you out.

it has ban powers.

[pearl pasture]

Oh okay and thanks! Will try to cut them down into seperate parts next time

[golden ferry]

Another question, are field cache any good or should i ignore them? they pile up pretty quickly and is annoying lol

i guess theyre good for now to farm my library at least

[inner tendon]

They're heroic quality, so you can look at it as free decent loot.

[golden ferry]

Okie ty all for answering

[lost sky]

I didn't know there were ducks in warlords???

Anyone else know about this???

[golden ferry]

I saw a duck wearing a tuxedo in a manhunt mission

are those collectables or just funny ducks

[lost sky]

There Easter eggs

But there not supposed to be in the open world

[inner tendon]

There was a rumour a while back that the duck was placed in an area with a bug, but AFAIK that's still just a rumour.

[lost sky]

Interesting

[inner tendon]

During at least one of the Climax Missions, you can shoot all the ducks to get a Hunter to spawn, which drops a mask.
Someone just posted it over in #divashion actually.

[narrow kraken]

Has anyone had an issue purchasing from the Ubisoft store? I'm trying to buy the crossroads season pass and it's prompting me that I don't own the base game?

[inner tendon]

@narrow kraken I had the same issue when I bought bfb. I just ignored it and it worked fine, but ymmv.

[dapper dew]

i just want the lexington i opend 72 cases and thats what i got in the last 30 min

[final sigil]

so the new manhunt boss keeps bugging at the end.

how do you fix this

[pseudo tundra]

No real fix at the moment, avoid causing dot damage to it while devs are investigating

[unique crypt]

official recommendation (because they tried to fix it and couldn't) is to avoid damage over time effects and statuses

if it bugs out, you can try to die and restart at the beginning of the boss fight, so you don't have to redo the entire thing

[oak gazelle]

most of the time it nuked me cause of line breaks 😄 not length

[nocturne reef]

There are currently about 50 caches and I think I will open the boxes after maintenance.

[oak gazelle]

@nocturne siren

[rancid dirge]

Is there maintenance?

[nocturne reef]

I saw a message that there would be maintenance for about 5 hours.

[rancid dirge]

Where did you see it?

[oak gazelle]

seems like it, server shut down

[rancid dirge]

They don’t update discord with it anymore

[oak gazelle]

who knows

[oak gazelle]

@nocturne siren
forgot to swap out obliterate with spotter again, so the pulse does nothing in the clip

[pine magnet]

But is there any unannounced maintenance going on? I have MIKE-01 🤔

[wraith flare]

#td2-general-chat message yes

[minor ferry]

what is the invaded stronghold this week?

[gleaming hemlock]

The red one

[wraith flare]

capitol

[nocturne reef]

ohhhhh!

[nimble spruce]

@wraith summit #lfg-pc is the place for finding groups

[nocturne reef]

Regulus

[dense whale]

wth is this?

this isnt even cloud gaming

[visual current]

😡

[pine magnet]

🤣

[nocturne siren]

Loading the clips since I'm on data, how you liking it so far?

[desert thunder]

Is this good or bad?

[charred maple]

i was 1100+ in queue, it took 16minutes and instead of EU it sent me to US West 😂

[nocturne siren]

Police goes crazy 🔥🔥 I haven't touched it on my setup but I always knew it was good. I used to use it on flatline/spotter AR setups with fox's and contractors

[gleaming blade]

Sounds like they've downsized the servers again

[unreal pendant]

15 mins ago, currently 184th

[charred maple]

Clicked on "find better server" = 1800+ in queue
alt-f4...

[nocturne siren]

Just like they likely downsized the drop chances 😂😂

[gleaming blade]

I will 100% un-install if that's the case, 250+ stretch level and still no Lex

[nocturne siren]

I've gotten 1 Lexington and 2 Nimble Holsters. Would happily have taken another lex to give to my 4th character, but those nimble holsters I love too

I'm level 220+

[elder seal]

was it just me or did anyone already have a lexington in their inbox?

[gleaming blade]

Ngl, the drop rates are BS

[unreal pendant]

No lex here either, just hundreds of luds and chatterboxes

[gleaming blade]

Some got it from the Vet event a while back, I was deployed at the time and missed it. Ironically a real vet and got shafted...

[elder seal]

oh gotcha! thought i was special but maybe i am just not in the good way

[nocturne siren]

UIC hits so good too 🔥🔥 boomerang goes crazy with it. Negl I think I'm gonna stick with the M16. Reminds me of the FAMAS from COD:MW2 and the M16 from COD4. Love me a good burst weapon. Have you tried Ravvy yet with the build??

[elder seal]

i’m lilsmurfpp i haven seen u in the dz recently lol @nocturne siren

[charred maple]

Tinkerer, OD, Sadist + Pressure point, ceska-wicked. UIC15 with +40% stab silencer.

[nocturne siren]

Don't much care to be in it anymore. Same with conflict. Too busy doing stretch goals and playing other games that are more worth it. The pvp in this game is dead, cheaters and the devs themselves have ruined it

[elder seal]

agreed

[nocturne siren]

Everything is unbalanced. It's hard to tell who is cheating, who is not, who is doing it carefully, etc. I tracked you on ISAC and you were clean. I do apologize for any negativity between us

Maybe one day I'll be back 🔥 maybe...

[nocturne siren]

Love the UIC. Don't use it too much bc well, rifles still suck

[elder seal]

for sure man i can’t remember fighting you but i remember your name lol

[nocturne siren]

Everyone remembers it 😂😭 people either like me or hate me. Half the dz clowns on me and for what? We ain't winning any MLG tournaments or getting any prize money

The ego fest there exhausted me. Sometimes it consumes us

[elder seal]

well there aren’t very many names to remember lol

[nocturne siren]

LOL bc they all change within 30 days anyways 😂

[stone lodge]

I can't seem to be able to toggle Jefferson Plaza and Space Administration HQ to Invaded status in order to unlock Capitol Building Invaded, tried to reconnect but still nothing
Anything doable to fix this?

Toggle mission mode isn't doing anything

[cedar schooner]

Try resetting control points maybe?

[nocturne siren]

Go to the physical location itself and toggle mission there. Does that to me with zoo

[oak gazelle]

don't have the right backpack atm for wicked, but I gotta say it's fun
and vigilance just works fine, too

[oak gazelle]

plays well, but I think I'll stick to the Police Mk17
it's just the combination of accuracy, fire rate and stability (and damage) like a good middle ground
M16A2 is for fun and for a change from time to time 😉

[nocturne siren]

Beautiful 👌🔥

Can't go wrong with the PMK17

[stone lodge]

Yeah I did that when nothing else worked, thanks!

[formal cliff]

Not home ATM, anything good in the store this week?

[forest storm]

which are the 2 named items that provide multiplicative damage bonus? one's contractor's gloves and what's the other?

[mellow trout]

I assume you mean fox's prayer

[forest storm]

ah yes thank you

[mellow trout]

They're only multiplicative in certain situations though

[jolly canyon]

Are legendary or heroic harder than master?

[pale hill]

heroic is under master but master is under legendary

[forest storm]

really?

man.. I thought master was the ultimate

[clever fjord]

Barely
It just throws elite enemies at you at every turn

Reminds me of challenging div1 missions where the difficulty is just that everyone is an elite

[forest storm]

sheesh.. I remember

I remember playing lincoln tunnel checkpoint on legendary.. the part where a bunch of elite shotgunners come rushing at you. Good fun

[pseudo tundra]

Legendary custom spawns and super buffed enemies is what tends to make it hard

Aka dont let drone operators get a lock on you

[ancient geode]

@supple bane this is where i stopped at back then

idk much about it

[supple bane]

🥲

[ancient geode]

Yeah, idk much about it, i had like 40 hours then i stopped🫠

[supple bane]

Ye strikers is good just... not like that

[ancient geode]

idk about much things ahaha, i just follow guides or something back then

you can just say that i basically have 0 knowledge rn or fresh rn

[weak finch]

Follow the Striker guide on the Spreadsheet and you will be fine: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1nrPBmOrtpkEW1j5fbcRT7L-AXgsGOqMqxXoVtopsiGM/htmlview#gid=1509999994

[supple bane]

If you intend on starting a new char play through the story. I dropped a build for sum1 else in #td2-build-advice but its pretty much the goto for most usecases for after you get to shd levels

I wouldnt recommend skipping since you are just coming back to the game

[ancient geode]

alright, imma just progress all the story rn to slowly pickup and learn

thanks 🫡

[weak finch]

there is not a cap on CHD right?

[supple bane]

No but afaik its diminishing returns

[weak finch]

when do i get those? like after 200 chd? is there a number?

[supple bane]

Idk the number but beyond a certain point theres little value on building chd

[reef solstice]

Can someone check the full time left for the recruiter outfit in the shop? I would appreciate if someone could do that

I would have checked myself but can’t I’m away from home for a bit

[weak finch]

its usually a full week, until next tuesday 🫡 BEST outfit in the game.

[reef solstice]

Some other fella said 2 weeks until end of season

In other server

[weak finch]

Its normally a week rotation for every apparel item, don't know if this one in particular has a special rule.

[wispy merlin]

what build are you using?

[weak finch]

Negotiators Dilemma with Bluescreen boss

*and Coyote's

[wispy merlin]

coyote is good, for the last slot contractor should be best

in general there isn't a "chd cap", it's more about opportunity cost, or rather what piece gives you the most value in the last slot. nego has more than enough chd to make grupo lose value compared to fox or contractor, and fox isn't picked here because you use lmg and nego has special interactions with dta

[weak finch]

thanks! can you please explain this bit in the spreadsheet guide to me?)

• CHC Target: 47% (without Coyotes Mask)
• CHD Target: Fill remaining stats

"without Coyote's" mean without the talent of the mask right?

[wispy merlin]

yes, before factoring in the mask buffs

[weak finch]

amazing, so I can squeeze more CHD

[minor ferry]

Does ninjabike backpack drop from priority objectives with exotic reward if u havent got it before from any source?

[wispy merlin]

priority objective exotic reward shares the same pool as exotic caches btw

[reef solstice]

Keep in mind next season new gear set gets crit damage up to 300%

[wispy merlin]

i don't think that's relevant if they're set on using nego

[reef solstice]

Ik just wanted to let them know that next season will have a new gear set that gives that much crit damage

Unless they change the amount of crits you get

[heavy stirrup]

if i buy the steam version, can i load the version from a different ubiconnect account thats not linked or do i need to restart on linked accont

[shrewd prism]

guys im trying to clean my stuff so iwill share alot here >> do i need to keep this one

[weak finch]

oh I will be using it too! In the meantime, I will keep enjoying Negotiator's

[reef solstice]

They announced new pts and I think they buffed it by the looks of it

[forest storm]

what is that hunter mask with red glowing eyes?

[weak finch]

Carmine

[pale hill]

I can clear master easily(not that I want to nor would do) with my mess of a build, but legendary it would take hours because master is just a HeroicV2 afaik

[pearl pasture]

Iirc it is heroic scaling legendary a.i

[nimble spruce]

No, it's heroic AI, but enemies are tankier and much more numerous

[nocturne siren]

It's legendary scaling but with factions other than Black Tusk (exception being The Manager manhunt)

[minor ferry]

what is a faster farm for ninjabike and memento? a team of 4 running backpacks as targeted loot in CD or a team of 4 all doing open world exotic priority objectives over and over?

[regal summit]

I'd say cd. While you'll get fewer exotics overall, they are more likely the ones you're looking for.

[narrow kraken]

Does anyone have an issue with loot, having to be relatively close to it to see it. Sometimes I almost miss loot because of this

Like, is there a way to increase draw distance or zoom out my mini map

[inner tendon]

You can turn on glowy pillars coming out of the loot, it's in settings.

[narrow kraken]

I have that on already

[dawn latch]

Just the way its designed. I have noticed if you have the perk, when you re-supply control points. It kinda pre-highlights the glowy area (similar to seeing enemies glow red when certain perks are activated)

[narrow kraken]

Does extra streaming distance not effect it then?

[dawn latch]

It does, just takes some time getting used to it. Check corners, allys, empty buildings, stick to the sides of the road

If im just roaming around between missions and side objectives, Ill just take my time scavenging and if I dont see much I move on

[supple bane]

After i get tinkerers from the climax mission does it become available elsewhere or still only from the climax mission?

[astral shuttle]

Is the Tinkerer guaranteed to drop on Master? I completed both the Heroic and Master levels, but had no luck.

[supple bane]

First time yes

[reef solstice]

Yes

[astral shuttle]

Hmmm, not for me. Strange.

[supple bane]

It wont drop on the floor. Itll just spawn in your inventory

[astral shuttle]

I know but it didn't. Perhaps it's because I played on Master mode once, then logged off during the run, only to return after the holidays.

I'm not having any luck with this game. I'm also stuck at Dumbo because of the bug with the open SHD caches. Maybe it's time to retire 🙂

[wispy merlin]

if you had full inventory when you finished it it also won't drop

[supple bane]

Is it possible to see friendlies skills and their cooldowns like you can in raids but outside of raids

[wispy merlin]

can see skills, can't see cooldowns in numbers but can see the cooldown progress bar

it's just like in raids/countdown/descent, no difference

[supple bane]

How do i enable it?

[wispy merlin]

somewhere in settings, not hard to find

[supple bane]

🙏 ill take a peek when i next log on

Also after i get tinkerers from the climax mission does it become available elsewhere or still only from the climax mission?

[wispy merlin]

only from there

[supple bane]

Okok

🙏 ty

[stone lodge]

🤔

And yes I did every other Invaded missions and Stronghold before trying this one, but It's the first time I get this message specifically

Is this normal?

[rugged stratus]

Did you do all the current invaded missions for this week?

[slim elk]

that's what you get when you run hazpro backfire builds

[cold pumice]

@heady veldt There.

[wispy merlin]

and here

[wispy merlin]

no

[rugged stratus]

Got 2 of my 3 spammed prio. Add capital and it's a wrap .
All mortar/oxi friendly 😎

[minor ferry]

does In Sync talent work on status affected enemies if the fire was applied by a skill?

[cedar yacht]

cc no

the explosion should proc it if you mean fire chem

[pearl pasture]

For this i think yes but depends on the skill. Chem launcher no but the direct burn from burn sticky maybe. They work differently. On refactor the sticky burn does continue to heal

[wispy merlin]

you need to proc in sync first by hitting with a bullet, and then apply the fire after, otherwise because the skill's fire snapshots skill damage, it won't affect the fire damage while it is ongoing

[rugged stratus]

in sync works on status skills like fire sticky/fire chem but with a caveat, those type of skills snapshot the skill damage as they are deployed and use the initial blast damage to determine the burn strength. same for capacitor as well. this is kinda the main way to make fire eclipse really strong, build stacked with status effects +capacitor stacks before fire skill deployed.
neither will improve an already existing burn tho.

its worth mentioning everlasting gaze/perpetuation also wont improve an existing burn and needs to be procced before skill deploys

[minor ferry]

Fastest way to get Picaros holster, target holsters or Brazos?

[rugged stratus]

brazos

countdown drops tons of named so youll get a bunch to sort through

check your crafting bench too, i think picaros was mistakenly added to the control point blueprint pool temporarily and you might have a copy. i think thats how i got mine.

[elder seal]

i’m trying to get the drip and psycho mask from the hunters in NY the first time i fought them i killed one and the other disappeared then the second time only one spawned in with no mask

[fallow inlet]

GOOD EVENING LOCAL AND RIVENS

[reef solstice]

For the picaro holster is 10% weapon damage max cap you get it or you can get 15%

[vast dome]

I have like 30 rerolls on my sweet dreams and can't get the DMG to targets out of cover attribute, can any one confirm that sweet dreams can get that attribute?

Cos in YouTube I found this so 😐

[reef solstice]

It can but it’s all about luck it took me like over 20 components for my elmo to get damage out of cover

[slim elk]

visual bug since it was nerfed to 10% a while ago

[reef solstice]

Thanks

[supple bane]

Idk how people run oxi. I guess im not build different like that 🥲

Is there somewhere with all mission maps and enemy spawns?

[supple bane]

Also does oxi on the paradise lost turrets still work?

[mellow trout]

It should

[clever fjord]

on a silver platter

[supple bane]

Do you know the setup or a video for setting it up

[dawn latch]

Map question - how do I get into The Ark and The Sanatorium?

[ancient geode]

Is the end game gear still capped at level 40?

[flint hare]

yes

[ancient geode]

Ok thnks

[timid current]

Yo everyone, I just redownloaded the division 2 after not playing for years, literally since the release of the first DLC, and was wondering if there were any tips, or if it would be better to play through again on a new character before continuing on my OG, thanks (my character is the old max level I think and have somewhat of a build, just not sure where to pick up)

[nimble spruce]

I'd say start on a new character, and see how it goes. If you decide after a few levels that you remember it and don't want to replay the rest of the story, then switch back to your OG

For endgame builds (once you're level 40), check the spreadsheet pinned in #td2-build-advice, there's a great collection of build guides in there

[timid current]

Ok cool got it, I have an old secondary character with only like an hour and a half of game time so I’ll probs use that one, I was a bit dismayed because despite having a bunch of stuff maxed out on the OG I thought I had all the Hunter masks but I only have 1😭

[nimble spruce]

That's not a bad thing, gives you something interesting and challenging to do once you've got a decent build sorted.

[spare condor]

What's the CHC/CHD cap in D2?

[nocturne siren]

CHC cap - 60% (this season's modifiers allow you to go over)

CHD - none

[spare condor]

Ohh, okay. Thanks for the information.

[nocturne siren]

Rule of thumb here is aim for 55-60% CHC and dump rest into damage

[spare condor]

What if I'm doing a one-shot build? Dose that still implie?

[flint hare]

Like mmr headshoot? No u need only hs dmg nd weap handling

[hazy haven]

This is just perfectly balanced, the loot is amazing, i cant hold into myself. i will play this game for the rest of my life.....not

[inner tendon]

You need to take a sarcasm class.

[spare condor]

[rugged stratus]

Oxi is actually not too difficult to use, but is very situational. You kinda need static items or spawn locations for it to be effective. I use it at the end of tidal heroic to take out the generators, sam sites as they come online, npc spawn doors, then on the warhounds at end as they get disrupted. Saves a lot of running trying to hit those sam site backup batteries. Tidal is the ony place I really use it tbh but makes the whole end stage much faster.

Oxi used to be the goat build when floor 10 xp farming was a thing

[inner tendon]

I use oxi exclusively with my meta-hugging Strikers, just go get spawns out of cover.
Banshee pulse has too long a cooldown for single use.

[spare condor]

I have a question for anyone who can answer. And I apologize to the mods if this should be in #td2-build-advice . I am not sure.

But, on going directives gearset is the one that gives hollow points yes? And if so.

I was told it's applied to everyone in the team, if so is the the damage boots from the hollow point rounds good but hybrid support builds. I'm not asking this for a build but I just don't honestly understand how it works. Coming back to the game and seeing all these new sets are overwhelming and overflowing my brain with information I can barely understand.

Any advice/ or information on how some of these new gearset work would be very helpful.

[atomic coral]

I mainly see OD used in Countdown, also fun to play in Open World and other PvE content

Its a 30% damage boost to all players (50 to yourself with the chest piece I believe)

Sure it requires a status proc kill, but for example, a gun with Sadist, or the Bluescreen exotic work well with it

[pearl pasture]

A specific oxi build or just on a dps build? Assuming it is a skill build.

[pearl pasture]

Yes OD gives hollow point ammo after a marked target dies. Hollow point ammo amplifies weapon damage by 20% (up to 50% for the set user if using the chest piece) and gives the user a full magazine of the ammo while group members recieve 50% of a mag (rounded down, so a 7 shot MR will get 3 shots never 4). Also the mark is only applied when shooting an enemy under a status effect but anyone in the group can get the kill. Rifles, LMGs and ARs are most popular for it and overrall it is a great dps set when combined with sadist on a weapon and an excellent boost to group dps.

It is important to note that OD amplifies damage rather than just being a weapon damage boost making it a great boost in damage calcs

[pseudo tundra]

the player using the OD gear set gets a full magazine worth of ammo (so it scales better with LMGs) and the rest 50% of their own magazine, as long as you shoot an enemy under status effect the mark debuff will apply and if that enemy dies, everyone gets the ammo. Since its special ammo it doesnt overwrite most talents so it's just free damage

bleed isnt strong so the big boost is from the bullets extra damage

[rugged stratus]

I was using a modified version of Mortar Supremacy(linked in profile) -btsu glove +contractors.
I've just made a stronger oxi setup instead with sacrifice/3wyvern/foxs/contractors tech support bag talent. Reduces mortar strength but adds a lot to the oxi damage and duration.

[pearl pasture]

Thank you mr.deck!

[next inlet]

I have a question about some exotics,
How do you get the
Vindicator
Overlord
Provocator
Centurions scabbard
Acostas kneepads

And also what’s the best way to get BLB I’ve been trying for so long with no luck

[pseudo tundra]

vindicator is buying from wally using NSA credits you get from playing descent

overlord is random drop, just try to farm shotguns and buy caches

provocator is from theo parnel manhunt, random chance at any difficulty, first time guaranteed on master difficulty

centurio and acostas same as overlord, just farm

[next inlet]

Reallyyy wtf, is it rare, or do I have to have the targeted loot onto those

Also can you get the BLB on countdown, as well as the overlord, centurio and acostas

[spare condor]

Oh, okay. Thank you so much. I was honestly thinking people we're getting mag mods for guns that gave hollow point, lol. Damn I'm dumb.

[nocturne siren]

so, according to this in #news-and-announcements , im like pass level 220+... does this mean I have an overabundance of Lexi's and turmoils now? 😭

[formal cliff]

For the Sept 12 Lex/Turmoil handout, if you already have the two items and meet the requirements, you still get the set?

[clever fjord]

I like to imagine trading in div2

[formal cliff]

If so, I might as well hand some out.

[pseudo tundra]

think just one of each

[nocturne siren]

now i got an excuse to go all out on my alt

[rugged stratus]

Just make sure not to login with a <40 agent that day

[nocturne siren]

yeah nah, I dont gotta worry about that 😂 im a responsible agent. I keep level 40 chars and i keep plenty of space on all of them just in case devs give us a handout. feel bad for those who got level 1 lexingtons 😂

[oak gazelle]

imagine 😂

[nocturne siren]

honestly that would be salt in the wound if I got like 7 lexingtons total and 3 turmoils total 😭 😂

based off the feedback in the news channel, Im guaranteed 1 lex and 1 turmoil. but im like 220/230 pass level so realistically, I have 2 lex's being handed to me and for sure 2 turmoils handed to me. bringing my total to like 5 lex's and 3 turmoils. im gonna keep grinding so that number will only get higher

[oak gazelle]

I don't even know what to do with all of them.

[nocturne siren]

if I could gift them to players, I deadass would

but my generosity depends on how many they give us. is it just 1 of each, or dependant on the levels? guess we wont know till sept 12th

[oak gazelle]

for me it sounds like just one if you reached the threshold and that is fair
I shared most of mine, always tried to collect the caches in a group, but still I'm sitting on like 6 Lexis now (2 from the drops before)
but I don't really have anything against a 2nd piece of Turmoil 😄 for another char

[latent rivet]

rng is something… while some people are making collection of lexis im at lvl 231 and the best item i got was a liberty lol

but hey i have a nice collection of purist now 😎

[oak gazelle]

expertise maxed out 😁

[oak gazelle]

Even though I had both items before the stretch goals, I advocated for a kind of pity system or different system for you guys and in the end, it paid off.

[latent rivet]

ye i can take easy with farm now. Thats a relief tbh

[dense whale]

can anyone share me your pvp builds?
i am interested in pvp gamemode recently thats why

[pseudo tundra]

#td2-build-advice has a list and general talk you can also try #td2-pvp-discussions

[elder seal]

i’m waiting for the time to change in order for this hunter to spawn but if the game logs me out will i have to restart?

[spare condor]

Dose anyone keep running into cheaters and racist people in CD?

I only encounter racist people in there if I make a small mistake.

But the cheaters, (at least in the last week) has been odd?

And it honestly makes me want to stay away from CD.

Is there anyway to get in a match with less cheaters? I can deal with the racist people every now and then. But cheaters is a no go for me.

[inner tendon]

As you're fairly new, it's very possible that what you're seeing isn't cheating, you just aren't understanding how CD works.
You get a lot of buffs in it, and can do some pretty crazy things. Plus a lot of people use AoE builds in there, which can skew things even more.

[spare condor]

Yeah, no I get that. And I'm not that new. I played on launch day. I get there's stuff I don't understand.

But as far as I'm aware there isn't a build that one-shots enemy on spawn before we even get to the encounter.

I've never seen some one shot a Hunter from around the corner without shoot a damn gun.

Then again there's so much new shit in this game, I wouldn't be surprised if you can do that.

[high glade]

If they're just running to the encounter and enemies are already dying, then yea that's cheating. I've seen that one time in all of my runs. It's not that common, or at least it wasn't before.

[inner tendon]

Yeah I've not seen that much, and I run a looooooooooooooot of Countdown.

[spare condor]

I just don't want to get in trouble or banned because I decided not to leave once. So I just leave anytime I see shit like that.

Probably just a bad one time thing then. I'll try CD in a bit then.

[inner tendon]

You'll be fine, unless the game gives a warning at the title screen for all players (ala: faye lau exploit), bans for exploits don't normally happen.

[high glade]

I can't imagine you would get banned for random queueing and just so happening to wind up with a cheater lol. You're not inviting them specifically or vice versa.

[cedar yacht]

Well its your choice if you want to stick around anyways.

[spare condor]

Okay, thanks I was just worried I'd get banned for queuing with a cheater or some shit.

Side question:

I've done JTC (Jefferson Trade Center) over 100+ times, I've done CD quite a bit since coming back to the game. (Still yet to get an exotic from CD on heroic.) And haven't been able to get Coyote's Mask to drop.

Atm, I'm in Summit on Heroic and have done a few runs and I'm just wondering how hard is it to drop?

[cedar yacht]

JTC is unlucko since its 7% drop ig assuming its heroic.

[high glade]

It's usually not all that rare. We (our clan) typically just runs JTC and we have good luck doing that.

[cedar yacht]

CD is very low but lets you buy exotic caches

[spare condor]

I have 8 diectives on as well.

[cedar yacht]

summit is not worth it unless you have a boss farm available

[spare condor]

But damn. I guess my RNG is just that bad. R.I.P

[high glade]

Ngl we did have one guy it seemed like the RNG was awful for. Probably 20-30 runs total lol.

[spare condor]

I'm on F50. I normally do 90. But the last time I let a random join me, they killed the last enemy.

[cedar yacht]

F

[spare condor]

Oh? I guess I can't say that.

[spare condor]

Dang, that sucks.

I guess I'll just keep trying.

[cedar yacht]

rng is rng at the end of the day. you can get it in a few runs or 100+.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[civic cove]

Is there an up-to-date spreadsheet with good current builds?

[spare condor]

Yeah. I just got god roll Turmoil.

About an hour or so.

[cedar yacht]

#td2-build-advice spreadsheet in pinned comments

[civic cove]

ty

[high glade]

Lucky and unlucky. Low chances to get it, but also few builds it's truly good on.

[spare condor]

Yeah, I noticed. lol.

Still yet to get the Named AR.

[high glade]

I feel that. I got my first at 161 and second at 190.

[spare condor]

I got the Turmoil at 164.

[inner tendon]

Now that's some turmoil.

[spare condor]

lol.

[high glade]

I only proc'd that 10% chance for the item pool Lexington is in 3 times. First was a Sleigher and then, surprisingly, the other 2 were Lexington.

[elder seal]

is the Matador in the targeted loot pool if golan is selected?

[spare condor]

Mask is my targeted loot and still got Imperial Dynasty.

[high glade]

Matador is Walker, Harris & Co. It's a DZ exclusive (or named item caches). You can also get the blueprint to craft it from Descent, but it's random which blueprint you get each time. Not a short-term solution.

[narrow kraken]

I'm trying to recalibrate crit damage onto my striker holster but it's not working?
Nvm I disconnected.

[inner tendon]

1 thing to note is that the Countdown store (but not Countdown itself) has a chance to have DZ locked items instock.

[narrow kraken]

I did the final encounter with the four hunters on the warlords of new York dlc , but lucky didn't drop his mask or a key.

Why is this?

[elder seal]

oh i’m dumb thought it was golan for some reason thanks!!

[atomic coral]

Same thing can happen to the 4 hunter encounter in DC, been a thing for years

[supple bane]

So on the spreadsheet it says that stuff in green is on pts and on streamlined it says 32%/37% in green... so is it getting nerfed?

[eternal edge]

so what would be the best way to level the swarm caches in a group?

[pseudo tundra]

probably outdated from the original PTS that had streamlined

[spare condor]

I finally got a exotic mask to drop but it was the Catharsis.

[inner tendon]

@eternal edge A premade group? Strongholds still, you just have to rotate who gets the Priority Bonus. The base level of XP gained from this is still worth it.

[eternal edge]

is that from the priority objectives im assuming

[inner tendon]

The specific XP reward that is listed (instead of resources/credits/exotic) is not Season XP, just an FYI.

the Season XP for them is listed at the top of each one, and is based on your difficulty, and of course having your Seasonal Modifiers active.

[kindred sentinel]

Is this rare?

[inner tendon]

@kindred sentinel Nope, general exotic pool.

And not a very good Exotic either.

[eternal edge]

i kno tht but im talking about doing strongholds. is that from doing the priority objectives

[inner tendon]

I answered that in the message you replied to.

[cold pumice]

😭

Anyone else this close?

[nocturne siren]

Lemme guess.... Grizzly mask?

It took me nearly 2 whole years to finally get it 💀

[eternal edge]

does accuracy decrese bullet spread?

[cedar schooner]

[eternal edge]

[eternal edge]

has anyone ever gotten a bluescreen from priority objectives

[pseudo tundra]

yes

[jolly canyon]

Hey agents! Question ❓, what's a good Striker DZ build with Tinkerer mask?

[peak tusk]

Miracles do happen!

[regal prawn]

What you got the eagle bearer from the summer swarm cache

Lucky

[minor ferry]

Since headshot damage is calculated addatively, I dont know what will get me more damage? +30% headshot damage and +10% marksman damage. OR + 25% marksman damage?

The dilemma here is whether to swap out: one of the HotShot pieces to Breakpoint and then the mask to Breakpoint, and then the chest piece to Habsburg

[cold pumice]

An emote

[rugged stratus]

yeah, thats doable. your top end scales with weapon damage, but hsd improves your first shot. worth testing out if you have the habsburg chest already

[nocturne reef]

401 season lv still no turmoil

[slim elk]

how tf do people get so high in slvl? 🫠

[nocturne reef]

Put in the time

And if you look at YouTube, you'll find the answer.

[slim elk]

I mean, I only play like 4 hours if I get lucky

[minor ferry]

i got the habsburg godrolled with headhunter, headshot and handling on it. im gonna climax

[inner tendon]

@minor ferry You tried that 4 times before you got it, maybe take the hint next time that you're being weird.

[minor ferry]

hahahhaa sry

im about to fall asleep

[dusk sluice]

so do we need to get to lvl 180 or 150 to get both items from the stretch goal?

[clever fjord]

Mask targeted areas/countdown

[proven trout]

Thanks I'll look into that

[rugged stratus]

[clever fjord]

bugged bounty? no enemies

[summer sail]

use pulse scanner hope they are not stuck behind door. sometime the spawn point of bounty in that area is away from where u are standing right now. try looking around if u spot them. or just abandon the bounty and start again i guess

u do have fog of war directive active. enemy might not show up on radar.

[clever fjord]

there was a wave and i cleared but after that no one else spawned

[summer sail]

i highly advise pulse scanner

[summer sail]

then just abandon bounty and start again

[clever fjord]

holy shi mission progress is saved even after a delta??

[clever fjord]

prolly doing it later

[bitter oyster]

I have a very stupid, and newbie question.

Context : I play only MMR since 2020, so I am the type of players running all red, no armor, I spend most of my time in cover, just shouting and hiding.

So, how do builds with armor work ?

• is the armor simply acting as a buffer, hoping to clean all ennemies before running out so the game regen it to full ?
• are armor builds including armor regen to counter balance the incoming dps ?
• I saw some build using a shield, used as a secondary buffer basically ?

From what I understand, most builds seems to be "have enough armor to finish the current wave / activity"

What happens when you end up out of armor plates and the wave isn't finished ?

Sorry if that sounds very stupid, I'm not sure I convey my ideas correctly

[summer sail]

so game keep you active in mission or ingame for few minutes. even after delta or quitting game. so yeah if u get delta and rejoin u will find yourself at mission checkpoint.

[clever fjord]

i do NOT remember than on ps

you get a delta and its gg do it again scrub

[formal cliff]

I don't believe this was explained but is it every 30 levels you get a Lexington?

Or just once you hit 30 levels?

[nocturne siren]

Which one?

[nocturne siren]

Based off of the wording, you only get 1 Lexington for completing 30 levels. You get 1 Turmoil for completing 50 levels. As for it being a reoccurring reward, it was not stated. So, based off of this context alone, just assume you'll only get 1 of each.

I'm more surprised they aren't giving away Caretakers as well. People wanted that gun, too

[cold pumice]

Can't remember off the top of my head...its a yellow one

[nocturne siren]

Might be some super common emote. I couldn't get the Grizzly helmet for the life of me for years. Then it dropped one day. Never have I ever screamed "about fkn time" so loudly before 😂

[inland mica]

I do not know why but when I reinstalled the game around 3 days ago everything was fine graphics wise.
Though, for 1-2 days now every time I boot the game and play for 5 minutes it starts stuttering and lagging (frames dropping also) despite my PC handling the game absolutely fine.
I even lowered the graphics settings from Ultra to High but the issues persist and I dont know why...since 3 days ago everything worked just fine for many hours straight.

Is this a known issue among the community? If so, any suggestions or ideas on why this might happen and how to fix it?

[mental hatch]

hello, how can i add a perk in this spot for my backpack

[pseudo tundra]

thats for expertise, you upgrade the item base stat, for gear like backpacks and other peices of armor, you just increase base armor by 1%

press M on PC in the inventory menu and expertise options should appear, the rest is finding the item in the list and upgrading if you can

[crude falcon]

i forgot this stretch goal level start at lv 0 or level 100

don't know if my level enough for Turmoil

[nimble spruce]

Lvl 100 was the start

[crude falcon]

oh god 23 level more to go

[reef solstice]

You need to be just 150 for both

Not 180 lol I thought about that too but when I read the tweet again it meant 30 lvls for lex then add another 20 for turmoil

[crude falcon]

oh so not 30 + 50

[nimble spruce]

Correct, just 50 total for both

[reef solstice]

Ye go play the game normally again no need to farm for that

Wait until 12th September

[crude falcon]

you had to click a link, not sure if you still can.

[proven trout]

Where can I find alpha bridge gear pieces? It's not appearing in the targeted loot list

[pseudo tundra]

there is no alpha bridge gear set in div 2

[nimble spruce]

Alphabridge isn't a gear set in Division 2. The closest thing is the Tinkerer exotic mask, which only drops from the manhunt climax mission

[pseudo tundra]

the last exotic mask they added works like alphabridge

[proven trout]

I guess not a guaranteed drop?

[nimble spruce]

Guaranteed on master difficulty, a chance on lower difficulties

[rugged stratus]

Just do prio objectives if grinding sxp

[valid vigil]

Yeah, I know. But since you're guaranteed the lexington and turmoil. I should just farm blueprints hehe. I was asking if doing control points would give me decent season exp 😄

[reef solstice]

They don’t give that much

[inner tendon]

It depends on your definition of "decent".
tl;dr not much.

[valid vigil]

ah, ok ok. I'll just continue doing prios then 😄 would like to get other times as well. Thanks!!

[rugged stratus]

Limited time for stretch goal, unlimited time to farm blueprints 🤔

[mental hatch]

can i change my core attibute on my gear peace or i have to find 1 with what i need ?

[pseudo tundra]

you can change 1 stat in any regular piece

either core, secondary stats or talent

[mental hatch]

ex this piece. i can only change the attibute ? the core is grey out

[ripe hedge]

Is there a reason people are complaining about me using refactor in random heroic strongholds? I know it's not the highest damage but I thought people would like the heals

[pseudo tundra]

can you show the whole piece, did you change anothe stat previously?

also never heard of people being angry at refactor

[ripe hedge]

I've ran 3 missions and 2 people told me to switch

Not even bottom damaging

[pseudo tundra]

well you already changed the second stat on that striker holster

[mental hatch]

i did change a ttributes. i jsut realise. so i can only change 1 core or 1 sttribute ?

[pseudo tundra]

only 1

[mental hatch]

ok thanks

[pseudo tundra]

that include talents as well for chest, backpacks

so if you change the talent ,cant change anything else

[cold pumice]

You're getting unlucky with team mates.

But honestly, anything outside of full red is just slowing down heroic

[trail mango]

Does Descent talent pool rotate today? If so, can anyone tell me what the pool is

[valid vigil]

Do you get duplicate blueprints? Or do you just unlock all of them by doing control points?

[pseudo tundra]

You dont get duplicate blueprint

There are many different things that give different blueprints

Most gear and general use items (mods and other mats) tend to be from CP

Named items you can get from reconstructed caches usually from descent and sometimes some special projects

adding upgrades will only affect the specific item you expertise so make sure its something you want to keep before wasting mats on it. also, dont worry about gear/brand items because the armor is not worth it

so only upgrade weapons?

Like for example, for my chem launcher heal mod, it keeps on showing up at +6.5%, never over

[slim elk]

yup, it's possible afaik

[next inlet]

Alright thanks

Also how do you get those 13% protection from elite mods? They always drop at 12% for me

[reef solstice]

They are very very rare some got it from summit farming boss floors or countdown runs

[green wyvern]

ive also gotten one from LT grey

[cold pumice]

Don't worry about 1%. Theres very few, if any, cases where missing 1% makes a difference.

Maxed mods can drop anywhere that mods can drop.

Higher difficulty means higher average rolls (legendary cant drop below 80% bar) but theres no way to guarantee a max rolled.

[nocturne reef]

finally my season lv is 439 its appear

[elfin holly]

Hi everyone, does anyone know if I have a chance to get to level 130 from level 0 to get the Lexington before the stretch goals end?

[nocturne reef]

CACHE can be shared when playing as a party

[elfin holly]

Sorry what is CACHE?

[nocturne reef]

I don't know the exact words, but it's a summer something box

You can reach level 100 in just 2 days.

[elfin holly]

Wait really? How? I remember playing a while back and it was a taking me ages to get levels

[nocturne reef]

check dm

[elfin holly]

Ok thanks!

[half karma]

can you get rock n roll from countdown?

[nocturne reef]

Rock n Roll also appears in named boxes

[elfin holly]

Wait so I just keep creating a new character and complete one of the projects? I am bit confused from the video

[nocturne reef]

yes

[elfin holly]

What if I do not have this level 40 boost, also is season xp shared between characters?

[inner tendon]

Season XP is, yes.

[nocturne reef]

It's not fun, but you'll definitely get Lexington.

[inner tendon]

the "spam project" method is only as good for as long as you have the mats to supply it with.

[elfin holly]

Alright thanks everyone

[nocturne reef]

Or, you can share the cache with another agent.

To be exact, you can share the contents of the box.

[inner tendon]

Only if you're with someone else in your group when you obtain it, of course.

but regardless, 5 rotations of the event will not take that long to warrant using an exploit.

Especially since you still have just shy of 2 weeks to get it.

[cold pumice]

Didn't they say they're currently level 0?

130 levels in just under 2 weeks is doable, with some heavy grinding

[oak gazelle]

you get double season xp < 100 and if you do the journey and scouts, it's fairly easy to reach 100 with that boost

[nocturne reef]

If you purchase the season pass, you will receive a 10% increase in season XP. If you turn on global adjustments, you will receive a further 10% increase. 10+10=+20%

[inner tendon]

Don't feel pressured into buying the pass though, you absolutely do not need the boost.
Just buy it if you like the cosmetics it drops.

lolol is right, the scouts are the way to go, that and Manhunt/Journey/any projects that reward Season Pass XP.

[nocturne reef]

join the division2 agent!

[wind rain]

Have a few PC questions.

One is about the game the other just pc stuff in general. Anyone really knowledgeable about pc connections and peripherals

[paper elk]

I can't believe this happen, i want Ouroboros and they gave me that but double exotic bonus ?

[reef solstice]

Nice congrats

[nocturne reef]

akimbo smg!

left chatter box right ouroboros

[paper elk]

I would choose double ouroboros if they allow akimbo exist

[clever fjord]

is there any good named items sold by vendors?

[cedar schooner]

@clever fjord ^

[neat minnow]

I've grabbed this key every run, but never found what it opens. Anyone able to tell me?

[reef solstice]

I think that’s for the nemesis project you open a door that gives another part for it if I’m not mistaken

[cedar schooner]

it opens a room right before the boss checkpoint on Tidal Basin.

[neat minnow]

Gotcha, thanks for the answers

[solid bridge]

your season pass level is 439+ ? you grinded that much??

[solid bridge]

congrats. I got ravenous yesterday 😅

[nocturne reef]

Now it's 460

[solid bridge]

I lost words 😶

[reef solstice]

Bro loves farming

[glad cloud]

for the Commendation "Countdown Counter" -> Deactivate every type of cuntermeasure am i just rly unlucky or do i need to do something else for the last one? 12/13 and played way too much countdown already :l

[glad cloud]

well... do i need to finish the countdown everytime? or might it be enough to enable them and restart? xD

[glad cloud]

ty, on the 3. run i got the last one :]

[nocturne reef]

double turmoil

[minor ferry]

Is the manager mission still bugged?

[paper elk]

Nice, now i have to farm for Turmoil, can't wait 2 weeks for it

[minor ferry]

BTW anyone here know if I can somehow remove the red X of the Spotting Drone while aiming down sights?? (screencapped it here to the left of the red sight)? Its kinda distracting when trying to headshot mfkrs. And no, i wouldnt like to use pulse if i dont have to.

[jovial compass]

How to complete scout week 12 first mission? With invasion

[rugged stratus]

Easy... dont use spotting drone. Dont need it or pulse 99.9% of the time. The .1% of time *it is needed is when running hb, and that's better served with linked laser. Reclaim your skill for something useful like decoy or emp sticky

If you arent completely leaning on determined to carry the build, mantis will highlight heads without a skill

[minor ferry]

ooo didnt know that

[rugged stratus]

Orange they arent focused on you, red they are. Mantis is a dope mmr

Also resets decoy cooldown with kills

[minor ferry]

Do summit floors give specialization points?

[rugged stratus]

That I cant remember, but do your invaded missions/some bounties/ projects and then level shd for best return when spec leveling

Since not using determined I think you'll really like mantis 💯

[minor ferry]

😈

[minor ferry]

I kinda dont like using scopes tho

[coral mural]

Random proposal: What if the Tinkerer was buffed, in such a way it allows the pairing of non-named items of different types, but if the weapons are named they have to be of the same type

Would that be too busted?

[rugged stratus]

Imho, yes. Pretty strong as it is already

[solid bridge]

all the best 👍

[minor ferry]

Do summit floors give specialization points?

[fading plume]

if i create a HC character, will it inherit recalibration library of my normal char?

[mental hatch]

if i already have all weekly invasion complete can i jsut not redo the mission for scout 12?

[pseudo tundra]

you can redo them

if it's not counting just relog

[clever fjord]

can you get the chatterbox from priority before doing its quest?

[wispy merlin]

no

it's the same pool as exotic cache

[mental hatch]

doesnt work i did 3 dif mission

[pseudo tundra]

you can redo invaded missions of that week, got the difficulty selection menu for that mission and there should be a prompt to switch

[worldly fjord]

Its invaded missions

[mental hatch]

what u mean ?
