[proven pewter]

and can grant blueprints / better items from clearing them as far as ik i think thats about it

[real zodiac]

lv3 dont grant blueprint ?

[proven pewter]

no idea i had an understanding of the game from Div 1 so i dove right into heroic when i could

[slim elk]

yes but you may have already completed the open world pool

[bold tiger]

think 3's do have a chance, 4's just slightly higher in terms of CP blueprints. Retaliation is a different reward all together i think?

[slim elk]

who knows I've just played two hours this season

[bold tiger]

i bullied true sons too much so far

[real zodiac]

im getting rekted from lv4 control, not enough ammo to handle those turrets
and im super glass cannon

[slim elk]

hehe... me too

[outer root]

ok im a returning noob after a few years. I have cleared all the invaded missions and strongholds but I still have areas of the map that say "invaded" how do I make them "friendly" soI can complete my global modfier lol

[real zodiac]

so u mean lv4 guarantees an locked blueprint ?

[inner tendon]

@real zodiac As we've told you before, more than once, Lvl 3 or Lvl 4 both drop blueprints from the same pool.

Both drop 1 (one) blueprint.

Uno. Single. Ichi. Ein.

[real zodiac]

i capped a few lv4 controls but i dont get any retaliation ?

[inner tendon]

Completing faction specific activities gives you points towards the total, not an insta-complete

e.g. bounties on challenging give just under a quarter of the total bar.

[real zodiac]

but i dont see any even progression bar

[inner tendon]

Are you checking the Retaliation tab?

[real zodiac]

i dont see any retaliatino tab

[real zodiac]

how do i unlock the game mode ?

[slim elk]

You activate it.
Go to Inventory > Next to the Spec Weapon is your "Brick" > Activate Global Modifiers.

[inner tendon]

It's a permanent gamemode, I guess it could always be tied in to a current Season's Modifiers, but that seems weird.

[real zodiac]

already did

why is my game always so weird

[real zodiac]

i tried reactivate it still doesnt work

[dusk sluice]

they gave me two turmoils, is it safe to claim now?

[wind jackal]

Any advice on leveling up the season pass thingy quick?

[green wyvern]

Stronghold prio objectives

[inner tendon]

There's going to be an event for Season XP boosting in the not too distant future.

You can see on the ingame timeline.

[fringe herald]

what do I do for the showdown at high noon saloon?

[cold pumice]

COMPLETE THE GAME FIRST.

[wispy merlin]

lol i love how you have to keep reminding them

[supple bane]

when you destroy the true sons heavy (one with the gl) ammo pack on their back it makes it so their chest armor is destroyed too correct?

[inner tendon]

Same thing with breaking a BT minigunner's belt.

[supple bane]

and does that enable determined ohk or does the helmet still mess with it?

[inner tendon]

What that allows you to do, is to deal direct health damage..
what you've just removed is referred to by the community as "plating". It's not armour, think of it as a damage reduction.

[blazing timber]

Hey Rivens 👋 long time no see

[wispy merlin]

it does not, determined works by checking if the enemy has a helmet, if yes it redirects the damage to the helmet. if not it redirects to whatever the "head" is.

it doesn't care if it has any other armor plates, it just cares about helmet or no helmet

[supple bane]

;-;

i wish that beyond a certain hsd threshold it just ignored helmets

[wispy merlin]

we all do

[inner tendon]

The only attempt at balance Determined has is that you can't just use it on every enemy without thought.

[supple bane]

fair fair

[inner tendon]

It'd be like if you could just shoot the wall with Striker to keep the stacks up.

don't get me wrong, I do want that, but ya know, balance!

[supple bane]

me when razorback (iirc that is/was possible)

[wispy merlin]

on that note, striker was specifically designed to not stack on or otherwise interact with dead bodies, but obliterate stacks for example, and nego spreads crit damage from dead chunga armor plates

you can shoot razorback even when immune to stack, it just checks whether whatever you're shooting is a valid target with >0 hp

[muted lance]

wish the game had quick buy and sell 🙏🏻

[inner tendon]

@muted lance It sort of does.
"mark as junk" and then "sell junk".

as for quick buy, do you mean like buying multiple copies for Proficiency?

Because a named item only needs 20 in total from 0 -10.

[muted lance]

why not just sell or destroy everything on you except the locked equipment

[inner tendon]

Because you can't get things back if you do, and that'd be far too easy to delete stuf you want to keep.
It's only a single key to mark something as junk anyway.

[muted lance]

buying 150 gears and then having to pick each one and destroy them is so time consuming

2025 but the solution is like I'm living in 2000

I've seen some videos about Division 2 China, they even have a mechanic that opens all the chests in your inventory lol

[inner tendon]

Pressing one button is that much of a hassle?

Division China has no relation to this game, they work entirely differently. The devs have confirmed that we can't open all chests at once, it's not a matter of the button just missing. Each time you open a cache, it's freshly generated. So it would cause mass server issues if that was the case.

It's why if you have kinda bad internet, your bonus from Field Prof. Caches can take a second or two to load in. I can attest to that.

[clever fjord]

whuts the new amount of blueprints to get from control points now?

[inner tendon]

I don't think any more were added to the CP's, at least nothing new-new.

[clever fjord]

almost all gearsets got sent to cp bps

[inner tendon]

Yeah that makes sense, nothing new-new then.

It's hard for me to check, when I played seasons and got the BP's at the time.

Let me check if there's anything else farmable there.

just got jumpscared by logging on and seeing the Grizzly outfit on.

[clever fjord]

i need weaves and magnum 686 replica but all i get are gearset pieces which leads me to believe it got bloated to hell

[inner tendon]

You might want to wait for next week to start heavily farming it out.

there's a x3 SHD XP Event kicking off on the 16th.

[clever fjord]

proficiency is something i need too honestly i jumped to 7 now cause all i get is useless stuff to donate immediately

planning to do both quite a lot

[inner tendon]

Don't forget to check vendors out, when they sell a named item you need, just buy enough to max it out (20 from lvl 0) and that's a decent chunk of your total Prof done.

[clever fjord]

ohh with 3x prof that means around 8 is needed instead right

-# i need to save my credits

[inner tendon]

You really don't, credits are very easy to come by.
If you ever need a quick infusion, Priority Objectives with credits as a reward are very nice.

IIRC a stronghold is somewhere north of 48k.

[clever fjord]

1 reconstructed cache craft for retal is 50k which is hefty ngl

[inner tendon]

It seeems like it, but eventually you are just not going to notice credits.

ive got just shy of 11mil, and i spend like crazy.

[clever fjord]

yeah later on but now im rationing my points like its the end of the month

[inner tendon]

Just do high end activities as you go, and by all means save up for the Retal' caches later on.

If you can get a Named item from the LZ, it's almost certainly faster/better value to Countdown run it.

[lime crypt]

Which one is better for shroud, ace set or hot shot?

[abstract canyon]

um is this normal? i just got these from my mailbox. i never reached 150 on PC

[nocturne siren]

They're just giving them away because most people had their pairs deleted

[muted lance]

:))

[rancid dirge]

So are we piggy backing the Chinese version of Div 2 now or has always been a Chinese liquor store sign at district union arena?

[slate solstice]

need help in journey 3 " kill enemy by deflecting dmg " how do i do this one

[charred maple]

Someone knows whats the cooldown for retaliation killsquads ? Or how to trigger them more in one run.

[ornate zephyr]

i think i've had them trigger after all checkpoint clear in one run, or maybe 1 less im not sure, but they are pretty frequent.

[charred maple]

Its no quaranteed before or after...it seems like timer or something.
Im getting 1 killsquad all the time solo, but im clearing it fast, that might be the case.
Right now i did 2 CPs, then got 1 squad just before 3rd and last CP.
Surely someone has figured it out 😄

[ornate zephyr]

yeah its not, theres some requirement or something.

maybe its tied to the challenge in retaliation itself?

that cover kills, skill kills stuff?

[charred maple]

Now im pretty sure its time. I had lots of time left before last CP, waited there few minutes and when i started moving again - bam, kill squad spawned.

[nimble spruce]

Equip that passive modifier that affects hyena shield guys, then go find some and shoot their shields while other hyenas are nearby.

[worldly fjord]

Don't think there's a cooldown, i got 2 back to back once

[prisma anchor]

how much SHD tech are you supposed to have after completing the main game exactly? i got enough to unlock all skill variants except 2 (17 skills, 85 tech) and have 4 tech left over, so 89 tech total.
then, to unlock the final 2 skills, i had to use the tech you get from WoNY, but now i cant unlock all the crates that are in the new york safehouses
anyone know where i might have missed tech? ive done all the missions that reward it, i think

[charred maple]

There is more SHD tech than needed for skills. Im pretty sure after u got all SHD and unlock all skills then there is 30+ left over. Use interactive Div2 map or just roam open world.

[nimble spruce]

There's a couple of side missions rewarding shd tech that are quite easily missable: upstairs in the White House, same room as the dz lady but at the North end. You'll get one mission, after completing that you can go back for a second one.

[abstract canyon]

will the spreadsheet be updated for Y7S2?

[nocturne siren]

Eventually

[prisma anchor]

thanks, that was what i was missing, ive got 6 extra now in fact, weird choice from the devs ig

in an unrelated note,

tips for pentco fairview? i tried to do it in challenging and i died 1 min before the extraction was over and it was miserable all the way trough.

[green wyvern]

youre matchmaking for it right

[prisma anchor]

yknow... i mightve forgotten that this game is not solo only

thats probably a good start, besides that, any other tips?

[green wyvern]

follow your team

[nocturne siren]

Don't do VIP. Ever.

Cannot emphasize that enough

[nimble spruce]

Just to clarify, are you talking about countdown or the general Anderson mission?
Countdown is designed to be run in a team of 8 and is very easy to matchmake on challenging or heroic.

[prisma anchor]

the mission with lewis labelled "General Anderson"

[nocturne siren]

Good luck finding anyone playing that. Not many, if at all, are playing that

[nimble spruce]

Ok, so tips for that: bring a build with a bit of survivability (eg striker memento with a couple of blue cores), focus the objectives first, ignoring enemies as much as you can until the tasks are done

Cover will protect you from the emps in the first area

[prisma anchor]

yeah learned that the hard way

[green wyvern]

i hate those emps tbh

[nimble spruce]

Keep an eye on the timer at extraction because enemies will spawn indefinitely

(caught me out first time)

Probably because the timer ui changes location once the heli arrives

[torn pelican]

Hey guys I have a question does anyone know what the perfect incursion mask looks like and if someone has it he could send a picture

[dense sable]

Do I need to complete the "Potomac event center: The manager" in order to try get the tinkerer mask?
As for some reason, I cant seem to start the mission.

Or is it from the generic mission, Potomac event center?

[wispy merlin]

it's from the manager manhunt and yes you can't get it right now because they disabled it

[dense sable]

Oh. How come it is disabled?

[wispy merlin]

you could get the tempest (current season's manhunt exotic) from that before they did

[torn pelican]

Thank you

[nocturne siren]

Looks better for a hyena fit

[real zodiac]

chungas

[limber hazel]

hello, i already have new york dlc, if i buy this pack will it work?

[nimble spruce]

Yes, it should do

[real zodiac]

how does the modifier control pt thingy work?
i cap all control pt within a region and got no bonus
what count toward trhe SHD control name zome ?

[dense sable]

Will the loot differ if you open your cache's on challenging vs. heroic?

[pseudo tundra]

nope

[shadow isle]

besides exotic caches is there another way to get additional Overdogs?

[real zodiac]

does retailation guarntee drop locked blueprint or it can be repeated ?

[bold tiger]

as far as i remember current season exotics don't enter the loot pool until after the season i think usually? can try running gloves tl and hope?

[shadow isle]

thought so....I shall pray to r-n-g-eesus

[mossy oar]

hey guys, just one question about legacy mission the manager, why can't i start it ? if anyone knows, it says that mission dificulties are not available and i can't play the mission at all

[mossy oar]

that is on my main character but on my secondary i can play it just fine

[bold tiger]

there was an in game UI message indicating it was disabled until the 23rd

@mossy oar #ask-td2-community message

[rugged stratus]

if that doesnt work, ill fwd the address where Lootcifer accepts sacrifices
🔥😈 🔥

[real zodiac]

why suddenly no more friendly NPC trying to take over control points anymore ?

[rough tiger]

r ppl still having issues with turmoil disappearing from their loadouts or stashes?

[real zodiac]

what can u do with Textiles ?

[rough tiger]

use with one of the secret vendors. textile is a form of currency ingame

[real zodiac]

what does outfit set do ?

[mellow trout]

Nothing

It just matches

Having all pieces of certain outfits unlocks a special cosmetic

[real zodiac]

like i have all 3 pieces right now, what's the difference in special cosmetic ?

oh, nvm grey out means i dont have it , not just needing 3 to complete the set ?

[real zodiac]

is there a way to find randos to do retailation ?

[stiff lance]

does countdown drop exotics?

[real zodiac]

yes

[inner tendon]

@real zodiac #lfg-pc as with all non raid and non incursion LFG's.

[real zodiac]

is it even possible to get max buff from modifier, they kept taking back the control pts

[runic hazel]

Yes but is difficult, i do not recommend care about that

[real zodiac]

proficient of an item applies to all but the upgrade is per item ?

[wispy merlin]

yes

[supple bane]

~~ is there a list of the retaliation exotic blueprints per faction? ~~

[wispy merlin]

point and laugh

[twilit goblet]

👆 🤣

[wraith ridge]

how to keep sanitation active for at least 10 seconds?

[supple bane]

if its meant towards me can you give some context 🤔

[wispy merlin]

it was in good fun. they did post this list as part of patch notes. i don't mean to make fun of you legitimately, there are more ignorant people

[supple bane]

;-;

(i dont usually read through patch notes. just pick up the info along the way)

[wispy merlin]

nah it's okay. i read them out of habit

[steep void]

with advanced material we can make striker shield invulnareble right? cz its a spec skill which would be overcharged?

[real zodiac]

so to kill rikers and cleaners i gotta have the DLCs

[royal briar]

Anyone having issues with Journey Mission 5 Challenge 4? I caught Five men in the blast, regenerating all my bars to 100% and it still didn't count...

[bold tiger]

oh that, Tickle said legendary DUA. i did that and finished that

[slim elk]

could summit potentially work for that or nah?

[royal briar]

OH, They're expecting us to figure out that we must catch five enemies and they must somehow survive?

Will try out your tip.

[bold tiger]

super easy, just got to time it right. it's at the very beginning of the mission i did it 2 times i think? since i was just short that many times

[royal briar]

Update: Okay, it counts it now.
Still, why not have it count even if enemies are killed is rather bothersome.

[bold tiger]

tell me about it, not to mention i hate the random you die too for odd reasons

[royal briar]

Aye, it's over, managed to land a two for one on the second attempt somehow. Appreciate your assistance, now for the third challenge.

[bold tiger]

hopefully you've done all of spiced up already, that was a serious pain for me

[royal briar]

I used a semi auto shotgun. Somehow thanks to both the Global modifier and the damage boosts, they're devastating, even in free aim (I'd recommend one of the Saiga-12's for the job as they reload all in one mag.

[bold tiger]

i'm currently trying to level up Sanitation, then i'll be working on ryker stuff and say cheese. hope doing both of those don't crop up with journey 7 for journey 2 unchecked as if i didn't do it

wait, was it 7 or 8 for the last journey where we just complete the journeys to complete the last one? 🤔

[royal briar]

Journey 8 is the last, with 7 being the one for sanitation.

[bold tiger]

been reading people saying they can't complete 8 because 2 isn't finished but you look at their screens and it's clearly finished

[royal briar]

I dunno, on my screen it's checked in J8.

Also, yeah, it's goofy how J7C6 (Keep sanitation active for ten more seconds) needs you to complete J7C7 (Level up sanitation to level 3) to get the special thing that enables you to do that.

[royal briar]

Tips for J6 (Say Cheese + Riker Leader & mismanagement) : it is by far one of the easier one (Though, as a Foundry Bulwark Shield Build, I may be biased due to it fitting my playstyle).

The hardest challenge on the list is J6C1 (Kill rikers near one of their leaders), but then J6C2 is just kill Leaders*.

J6C4 and J6C5 are rather straightforward. J6C6 will definitely need you to have your shield out for the bonus range, and for J6C3, just take them by surprise when they're not in alert mode.

*Also, tbh, due to them being mostly females, I referred to the Leader archetype as "The Pom-pom girls", given they're pretty much a support role.

[bold tiger]

good to know, yeah i saw that one about killing them near leader bit and was like huh? i'll probably go in my backfire build as a firewall with the crusader shield was it? and just have fun with hit, but leveling sanitation takes so long it seems lol

[royal briar]

IMO, doing retaliations gives much more EXP than just wearing the thing does;

[bold tiger]

nods think tickle mentioned we get 1xp towards it per kill and 150xp per retaliation completion

[royal briar]

Yeah, so we're better off just doing retals while having the thing equipped.

[toxic kestrel]

How can I do retaliation for cleaners I was in Brooklyn and NY but I can't start the cleaners retaliation

[cold pumice]

For what it's worth, wording is important.

I specifcially states "Damage" not "KIll"

[royal briar]

Did you raise the heat meter enough?

[toxic kestrel]

Yeah I did the incursion

[royal briar]

Perhaps try and do something in NYC/Brooklyn, maybe they'll retaliate then?

[nimble spruce]

180 per cp captured during a retaliation (at least on heroic)

[toxic kestrel]

I'll try it later

[steep void]

what is this?

[rancid hatch]

Hi guys, I'm returning to play the division 2 but the main thing is - I have only DD set and its impossible to play solo on heroic and legendary, and I want to get tanky/dd set to play on legendary level.
I saw backfire build, but it was good for old season.
Sooooo, im looking somebody who can give advice\recommend me interesting build like backfire for a new season, or maybe somebody plays with backfire tankyDps build and it still good for legendary level?

[cold pumice]

First of all, get out of the idea that "tanky" is a good thing.

Having armour cores directly nerfs your own damage, Legendary enemies are too strong for any blue cores to make a difference.

Secondly, what is DD?

[rancid hatch]

DD, its a damage dealer.
I mean the build thats with St.Elmo and Striker Build with full red cores

[cold pumice]

So, DD isn't a thing. It's called a DPS (Damage per second)

Full red core striker is the most versatile (and also best) build in the game.

It's perfectly capable of SOlo Heroic and Legendary.

THe issue here isn't the equipment, but the play style.

[rancid hatch]

Interesting

[cold pumice]

Positioning and good cover use is your survivability.

Armour cores are not a substitute for poor play, even if you took an all blue armour regen build into Heroic/Legendary you will die with poor play.

Almost all activities in Division 2 have set spawn points, enemies will ALWAYS spawn from one or two points in each of the activities/missions/strongholds you complete. Failure to learn those is why you're dying.

[pseudo tundra]

probably just need to shake up some rust

[cold pumice]

Pretty much this.

You're just returning to the game, some things may have changed but the core game is the same. The faster enemies die, the faster they stop shooting at you

[rancid hatch]

got it, thanks for the tips. Can you please tell me what a less properly assembled Striker build looks like?

[oak gazelle]

the "currency" for the priority objectives reroll bar, like 100 is one bar and 300 the full bar
after finishing an objective you get like 56 for a mission or something

[clear sand]

is this game looter shooter as borderlands? worth it to play?

[rancid hatch]

Interesting game, but different.

[rancid hatch]

I'm recommend to try 100%

[clear sand]

how different is? i just prefer to kill enemies and get sometimes guns that maybe better or worse than one you equipped.

[royal briar]

It's not as humorous, however, if you want to have an entirely different build from what you're rocking, you don't have to make an entirely new character and level it up.

[royal briar]

Well, gameplay wise, it's not THAT different. Although bosses sometimes end up becoming a cakewalk.

Also, whereas you can't break shields (as in the physical thing that you hold) in Borderlands, you can break the shields of the enemies that use them.

[cold pumice]

This is a basic Strikers build.

[royal briar]

And given this isn't as futuristic of a game, the concept of "self regenerating shields" don't exist. Instead it's body armour, and plates you have to swap to heal.

And instead of one super devastating skill, you have two.

[clear sand]

so td2 isnt looter shooter?

[cold pumice]

TD2 is literally a looter shooter. It's also a cover shooter.

[royal briar]

Yes, of course it is! You can find plenty of stuff, from the mediocre common, to the equivalent of unique legendaries items, which we call exotics.

[clear sand]

ok with shields, i dont mind if i should tap V for heal myself

[cold pumice]

You can double tap v for a quick armour boost, or hold to recover all armour.

[clear sand]

but you said that its different

[royal briar]

Also, you have a crafting mechanic, which works by dismantling stuff you don't want, so no need to get scammed by a vendor.

[clear sand]

is this game has billion of interesting guns?

[inner tendon]

Is our children learning?

[cold pumice]

Borderlands is more of a power fantasy, you're super OP compared to enemies.

In division 2, if you try to be a hero, you will die.

[royal briar]

It works DIFFERENTLY from Borderlands, I didn't say it wasn't the same genre!

[inner tendon]

Div2 and Borderlands are in no way similar.

div2 is a tactical cover shooter.

[cold pumice]

The similarities stop at Looter Shoote

[clear sand]

:😕

[royal briar]

Yes, pretty much that.

[clear sand]

but idk i just started campaign and want to know will it worth money and time to walkthrough?

[inner tendon]

I barely describe div2 as a looter shooter.
yes there's loot and you shoot, but think of div2 as closer to Wildlands or similar.

[cold pumice]

Borderlands: First person power fantasy looter shooter.

Division 2: Third Person tactical cover looter shooter.

[royal briar]

Basically, it's the same steak, with a different seasoning.

[inner tendon]

Borderlands is a frozen patty from McDonalds at best.

[cold pumice]

Division 2 is closer to Gears of War, with loot.

[clear sand]

idk about firstperson or thirdperson. it can be even secind or fourthperson but i wanna know have it loot and weapons variety?

[cold pumice]

Strikers chest is a waste.

Can't keep stacks up in general play.

[rancid hatch]

Okay, thanks!

[cold pumice]

A fourth person game would be trippy as hell...that would be playing as a person playing a game

[inner tendon]

Isn't that just Super Hot?

[royal briar]

YES. Shotguns snipers, ARs, SMGs, Pistols. Some have magical endless magazines, some can generate electric ammo.

[clear sand]

i just said that idc and dont mind what person shooter it will

[cold pumice]

Haven't played, but I think in order to be classed as "fourth person" you'd need to interact with the player too?

[inner tendon]

In it, you literally go and shoot yourself playing the game, in the back of the head.
spoilers.

[clear sand]

and shoot mechanic and other other?(tbh im bad at english so i will chat as i know english, dont judge my english please)

[cold pumice]

OK yeah i'm sure that classes as fourth person. I should play Super Hot at some point

[inner tendon]

It's fun.

@clear sand The long story short is that if you enjoy borderlands, it's not even a little bit similar to div2.

[royal briar]

Yeah, pretty much the same, the enemies shit talk you while you're running their shit, too.

[inner tendon]

If you want a shooter that's more "spectacle" and has looter-shooter mechanics, Warframe might be more your thing.

[cold pumice]

^ DO not play if you suffer from motion sickness

[inner tendon]

There's features for that now.

the devs of WF are very good for inclusivity.

[cold pumice]

Such a good game, need to get back into it but I feel i'm getting too old for that speed of play

World of Tanks and Div 2 is about my speed now 😛

[clear sand]

i can only say that the boxes with items from this game are to ppl "looter"

[clear sand]

i didnt got this game

[clear sand]

im too young to suffer from it

[inner tendon]

Motion sickness has no age requirement.

[cold pumice]

If you're being broad with your description: Both Division 2 and Borderlands are looter shooters. That's where the similarities stop.

Division 2 is tactical and death is normally only a mistake away. You are never going to be powerfulk enough to slap through everything without thought.

[clear sand]

then idk what is it. dont explain it i can google it myself

[clear sand]

ohhh ok

[cold pumice]

That said, Division 2 is far more satisfying than Borderlands, in my opinion.

Being able to solo in Division 2 is no easy feat. And it feels much more rewarding to be able to do that.

[clear sand]

thanks for more info guys

when there is a discount, i will buy it immediately

i'll just stay here so i don't lose this server

[inner tendon]

Make sure you also join the community division server, and one called "GCrock".

the first one is good for finding people to play as well as here, and the second one is good for learning how to do the raids/incursions, very tough endgame stuff..

[wraith ridge]

how do I resist 1m damage with zealot?

[runic hazel]

Say to the enemies "shoot at me pls"

[wraith ridge]

why do i even bother asking smh

[runic hazel]

But thats literally the thing u have to do, high difficulty and let the enemies shoot u😭

And ofc with a tank build, no dps build

[rotund swift]

What are you guys finding is the best way to trigger retaliations? Hitting high alert control points of the faction?

[cold pumice]

Literally just play....

[inner tendon]

@rotund swift Missions give a ton, Bounties give loads too.

I like running Public Executions to stack up Bounties, and then completing the available one along with a quick mission.
Should get you close.

[rotund swift]

Thanks

[torn cape]

Does the streamline talent still give the weapon damage boost if you have a shield deployed?

[pseudo tundra]

no

[royal briar]

No, which is bullshit IMO, given the talent says "while skills are not on cooldown".

[dense sable]

When you reconfigure an exotic, does it reroll the core attribute AND reroll onto a different bonus?

So I have the chatterbox, nearly perfect smg dmg/crit, but it rolled swap speed.
I want to remove swap speed, but don't want to make the smg/crit way worse :smh:

[clever fjord]

it will

good luck <3
-# i was gifted one with out of cover already on it >:3

[dense sable]

😭
thanks for replying!

got dmg out of cover maxed! But also lost alot of crit/smg damage.
time to optimize!

[safe drift]

Can some one help me as I am having problems with completing the journey 3 as its not registering

[pseudo tundra]

Which one in specific

[safe drift]

8/10 gain 50 stacks of spiced up
2/3 level up spiced
8/10 break the shield of hyenas
4/5 activate spiced up while under 20% armour

2/5 kill 5 hostile during one use of spiced up

[royal briar]

Any tips to clear that one?

Knowing there's an initial 10 seconds, then 13 seconds with the base 15 stacks, I'd also need 21 additional stacks from killing 7 enemies while at 12 stacks or below.

[torn cape]

That IS bullshit, I could have so much more damage...

[crude falcon]

I have a question: sometime my kill counts likely x1.5~x2 to second place, and other stat is pretty far behind as well, but the DPS meter sometime not top (as you can see no yellow star), is this a bug or just my build issue? Pretty sure I don't kill low HP enemy as well

[wispy merlin]

you overflowed twice

the star doesn't know how many times you overflowed so it just gives it to whoever has the highest damage without factoring in overflow. you clearly dealt more damage because you have more kills

[crude falcon]

that kinda make sense

[eternal edge]

so i found a hotshot build with turmoil and its not great lol is there any issue with headhunter and turmoil? with them both equipped i cant even 1 tap red bars anymore

[wispy merlin]

yes, remove turmoil

it's only good if you're willing to hotswap it in after you build to max hh

[paper elk]

Level it up to level 3 first, it can't be complete without reach level 3

[eternal edge]

wdym

[wispy merlin]

it's literally nerfing your damage by half

[eternal edge]

but its not lol its completely ignoring the half damage im doing 23 mil 2 times

with one bullet

[dense sable]

How do I go about finding the "chill out" mask?
The google doc says special event hoarder, and I have absolutely zero clue who or what that is lol

[wispy merlin]

yes but that's only because you're at max hh

while you are building up to that you're better off not using it

idk how it's not obvious

[inner tendon]

The "event hoarder" (more commonly known as the Loot Goblin), is an NPC that can spawn out of manhole covers and runs away when you approach.
During holiday events, they spawn with a bunch of special themed named items, for Easter/Xmas, etc. The amount of Named Items scale with difficulty.

[dense sable]

So I am assuming he isn't around at the moment therefore impossible to grab the mask? (i think the only source was him)

[inner tendon]

Correct, not right now.

[eternal edge]

i still one tap reds so it dosnt rly matter lol

[wispy merlin]

then why are you complaining here

[cold pumice]

Literally stating "can't one shot reds anymore"

[wispy merlin]

you are literally contradicting yourself lol, how are we supposed to help

[eternal edge]

i changed the build since stating that

the one i found uses tinkerer

[nocturne siren]

Ah so another niche piece that yields next to no benefit. I see a reoccurring theme happening here

Just run 4 PC hotshot, Chainkiller chest and Airaldi backpack with Vigi. If you wanna 1 tap elites with the first bullet just use nemesis

[cold pumice]

It's beginning to sound alot like youtube slop

[nocturne siren]

I'll give credit, tinkerer > turmoil. But neither pieces work good for MMR builds

Hence the predicament they're finding themselves in

[dense sable]

What is the best way to do journey mission 7, eliminate cleaner controller drones?

[inner tendon]

Cleaner Control points are solid, just remember that the drones in question are those ones that drop the multi-explosives on you and then go fly back.

[dense sable]

alright, thankyou! 🙂

[green wyvern]

what i did was the conley mission on story until i got to someone with a drone broke the drone and wiped until i completed it but ive also heard the kajika one might be easier

[inner tendon]

I caution against farming via deaths so early in the season.
you've got loads of time to complete this stuff, better to do it organically.

[worn timber]

why is there dc police in new york

[kind cove]

Asset reuse

[worn timber]

is it easter egg?

[kind cove]

Probably not no

[abstract canyon]

Can you target loot in retaliation? Or is it locked to the target loot of the area the retaliation is in?

[wispy merlin]

it's locked

[mental hatch]

what is the use of those green thing that drop in summit

[wispy merlin]

scavenged skills

[dense sable]

What does the wording "repairs" mean?
So, in the Refractor set it states "receive repairs of 10% of the damage dealt by your skills"

[proper basalt]

Any help would be great.

I get a message that Inaya al-Khaliq has a project for me.

When I go and pay her a visit Inaya has nothing. When I go to the build craft table I see a holster but it’s locked and I can’t purchase it.

[nimble spruce]

Restores your armour

[abstract canyon]

Might be the donate a exotic belt one

[nimble spruce]

Do you have a project called something like 'go west, young agent' amongst your projects?

[abstract canyon]

Thats the one that requires you to donate an exotic item that seems to be a belt

[nimble spruce]

It involves collecting and donating a bunch of parts including a belt, and rewards you with the exotic dodge city holster when complete

[proper basalt]

No

The Rude, The Bad and The Evil

I’m needing the holster but I can’t purchase the blue print.

[prisma anchor]

nice that calamity is asking about this project because ive got a problem about it currently

[prisma anchor]

if you complete that project you will get another project and then that project will give the holster i believe

[prisma anchor]

for some reason the rude, bad and evil project just vanished from my project list, help?

i did not complete it

[proper basalt]

😩

Is there an issue with this project?

Okay, so apparently I had to donate the holster, but, it was a diamond shape item. Strange

[prisma anchor]

does the project show up normally for you? if it does, it should be fine

the intended way for you to complete this project is to donate like 3 items that have "holster" in the name and are of exotic quality but that arent the actual holster you can equip

its... weird game design but its at least functional

(first you donate Fast Leather Belt, then you get another project, donate Ornate Leather Holster, Inverted Leather Holster and Oiled Leather Holster, then you get another project, kill a boss and donate Holster: Rind, THEN you get dodge city gunslinger's holster, which is the exotic holster you can equip)

a LOT of holsters.

[real zodiac]

dont we already captured keener why newyork trying to hunt him again ?

[upbeat geyser]

Is there a definitive answer on what the bleed status effect does on enemy NPC's? Is it a flat damage, does it scale off of anything? Or is it % health based?

[proper basalt]

@prisma anchor Yes, and now it’s called Showdown at High Noon Saloon.

[prisma anchor]

oh, cool, then that means you just need to find a boss, kill him, one final donation and you get the holster

me on the other hand, the project doesnt show up for me at all so im kind of just screwed

[proper basalt]

@prisma anchor It was strange when I saw this pop up in projects. At first it was a blank area where a project would be. Then one day boom💥 it was there.

[minor ferry]

Can someone link me a document that lists all the important talents, attributes to library for every weapon type and gear pieces?

[prisma anchor]

well mine is completely gone... somehow...

[bold tiger]

have you looked at the spreadsheet in the pins in #td2-build-advice ?

[minor ferry]

yea man but didnt know they included that in there

[bold tiger]

attributes is self explanatory. you're just trying to get them to max little by little really
talents are in that sheet for each weapon nad the chest/backpack talents

[proper basalt]

@prisma anchor I know when I was searching for some clues about the next step in the project they mentioned there was a glitch. That was causing issues for some players.

@prisma anchor What step were you on?

[desert thunder]

Out of all the things I wish we could get would be a cross progression between PlayStation and Xbox because my PlayStation died and would be nice to transfer over my character from PlayStation to Xbox even if I had to pay a $10 fee for it

Or at least give me shd level 1000

[real zodiac]

how worth is to get the seasonal bundle ?

[desert thunder]

I got it and it some what ok. but I think they got lazy with the modifiers this season.

[real zodiac]

im just thinking whether to get the pass only or the bundle

for the completion part on retailation, is that whole event or per control pt ?

[bold tiger]

control points. once this season ends it'll continue to be a thing in game but with new modifiers

[real zodiac]

it seems the blueprint drop has dupe protect ?

[bold tiger]

what exactly would you do with several sets of the same blueprints?

[real zodiac]

some game just convert to scrap parts for dupe

[bold tiger]

so we get paper for dupe blueprints? what would we use paper in div 2 for?

[real zodiac]

it is good news for me anyway, there are games that have no dupe protection u might farm for ages

[inner tendon]

Yeah you only get the blueprint from a CP reward completion once, then you can share it with any other characters you have.

[subtle thorn]

How do I even remove this from the global modifiers, it acts like pistolero is enabled

[inner tendon]

try swapping difficulty, then changing it back.

[subtle thorn]

After a re-login attempts to went away.

[real zodiac]

what is standard stat for a striker build ?

[valid hemlock]

Does anyone have a list of all blueprints in here

[bold tiger]

somewhere up above ☝️ is a picture of all the faction retaliation exotic blueprint list, the descent/reconstructed caches is usually the named items, weapon mods and probably brand/gearsets are probably in the control points level 3/4 (challening/heroic) world difficulties

[real zodiac]

i just did 26 floors on summit but it didnt count
quit in middle doesnt count toward the weekly ?

[swift willow]

it does, there is no ending in lobby or some shit, it should count each floor separate, weird

[broken mortar]

Anyone notice Heartbreaker stacks are harder to get in this season? Additionally anyone knows how stacks are calculated, is it 1 shot - 1 hit = 1 stack?

[clever fjord]

no reason for it to stack slower and yes if against pulsed enemy

[spare condor]

Is anyone else having troubles/ issues with the Kill Squad spawning under the map or in an area they just can't get to?

I keep running into this issue and it's always my second or third Kill Squad that it happens to, more so with my third.

Any tips to prevent this will be very appreciated!

I noticed being really close to a building kinda makes this happen but not all the time, just more so when I'm near one that can't be walked into.

Also, i'm talking about retaliations. I forgot to mention that but I would assume that is quite obvious. Still I apologize.

[Side Note: Ever since the release of the season, (I didn't start playing into the second or third day.) I've been getting really bad lag spikes or the game will freeze for a good solid 5 ~ 15 seconds. The longest freeze was a minute.

I just changed my thermo paste. I optimize. My settings. I'm in the right region, and I have nothing in the background running. It's making it a bit hard to enjoy the game, but of course I'ma keep playing, lol.]

[nimble spruce]

Yeah, I've had a few instances of kill squads spawning underground, one of them being trapped in spawn, and once I just got the 'kill squad evaded' message a couple of seconds after they spawned.

[pine magnet]

@spare condor Since they often come from the same points, when I have to pass near a building where they always come out but get stuck, I walk to the side a lot so they come out on the other side of the building and I can deal with them. Note that the points they come out from are almost always the same. Maybe.

[spare condor]

Okay, Thank You for that information, I did not know that!

What if they spawn underground though?

[pine magnet]

Never happened so far. Sorry

[spare condor]

Yeah... what do you normal run retaliations on? And is it hard for you or just right?

I personally have been having quite a bit of fun with it. I can only do challenging now because I have to optimize my gear again for some weird a' reason. But even with lag spikes. I feel like the mode as a whole is badas! Especially the kill squads! There's something about having a kill squad sent to you and your group that feels so incredibly cool.

(I mainly run it solo. ;-; Still fun though. )

[spare condor]

No, need to apologize. I still appreciate you responding though.

[nimble spruce]

I run mostly solo heroic, find it a bit more challenging than regular cps and occasionally fail, but I like the difficulty overall.

[pine magnet]

I've generally done them, about 50, alone and on very hard. I've also done heroic and 5 directives in a group. Since I have all the exotics, I'm just playing to do something new. In reality, they give too few special resources. It's not worth it for those who have all the exotic gear. But I like them for doing something new. Nothing more.

[spare condor]

Ah, I feel you there.

[spare condor]

Another question, what Gearset helps with skill?

[swift willow]

there are many gear sets usually focused around specific skills, so depends on which skills u want to play

[solemn swift]

What's the maximum stash space again? 400?
I only got WNY but not BFB so I'm wondering if it goes higher.

[half karma]

is the weekly legendary always on a looping schedule or is it random? does anyone know what the next reset legendary will be?

[nimble spruce]

it's random, except it won't be the same one two weeks in a row

[royal briar]

450

[spare condor]

Yeah, I can get three as long as there is 3 ~ 4 cps.

I personally feel like if you do the sub-side mission that pop up, they spawn more. But I could be wrong, but that is just my personal opinion/experience.

Also, lmfao.

[half karma]

will changing directives reset cps?

[rugged stratus]

unsure, but its possible. you can travel to ny and swap directives without affecting your dc control points

[subtle thorn]

Nope, you can even change world difficulty with out affecting the CP. just travel to coney island and change it there.

[novel shard]

No you can you just gotta look around the entrance

Use oxy for closed doors

[novel shard]

450 with all

[novel shard]

Hopefully it's district I can't stand zoo never had one good group until the first day of this season

[novel shard]

Pistolero is technically bugged as it will show one of the old directives from last season

[wispy merlin]

dua -> capitol -> roosevelt -> tidal -> zoo -> dua, it's not random

[novel shard]

Ah well we shall see Tomorrow

[runic hazel]

@crystal sable here It is https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/s/t4VQDduAbW

I cant send It in the general chat bc ISAC things, the missing 4 r from old battlepasses (4 dupes so u dont miss nothing)

[half karma]

if you can get a few friends together, get the map fully green me and my friends with all strikers (one on a pesti build) all ran Zoo legendary in 40 mins

zealot and the global modifiers are so busted this season

[novel shard]

Thanks for the offer but I'm good

[novel shard]

You think

[crystal sable]

thx mate, thats all i waanted to know 👍

[rugged stratus]

Active modifiers yes

The other 3 passives are always on

[fading plume]

is there a way to turn off Retaliation?

[weak finch]

in a way if you ignore it, it just works the same as before: the taken control points will eventually go back under enemy control

[frigid apex]

Can you still catharsis mask by doing legacy manhunt cpt lewis?

[pseudo tundra]

It was not a manhunt reward

[frigid apex]

Ok how do you get it then?

[supple bane]

Rng

I think the general consensus on the best way is countdown with mask target and then spend tokend/currenty/whatever it is called on exotic caches

[frigid apex]

Thanks

[mystic bone]

i just finished the dodge city project and it says collect rewards im at the blueprint woman and she has nothing

[harsh cipher]

How do I save a loadout? Sorry for the dumb question

[slim elk]

LT > Press Y to save

[harsh cipher]

thank you

[sweet crystal]

Hi! I was just wondering what would be the best way to get memento? 😄

[weak finch]

Target loot backpacks in challenging Countdown

[sweet crystal]

Oki awesome! I can do challenging! I think!

[marsh tundra]

so, im doing the hunter puzzle in new york, im supposed to shoot at a target in a building, u guys see it ?

even the wxeather doesnt want me to get thoses mask lol

[dense whale]

man,using glass cannon is so risky to play
using it for the first time in my whole career lol

Guess i am gonna use ceska obliterated

[weak finch]

Class Ganon is for pro players only, it will actually teach force you to play better. I don't use it because I always end up doing some cowboy shit that puts me in danger

[dense whale]

Ye
High risk high reward type gear

[calm rivet]

Finally got today the gamescon merch! Check your stash guys

[royal briar]

Is there a map of the known kill squad locations yet, or is it still too soon?

[slim elk]

afaik they spawn randomly

[cold pumice]

What do you mean? They spawn randomly as you progress through a retaliation....

[royal briar]

Well, I say this, because I did two retaliations in the same sector, and when I had a kill squad in each, they had the exact same spawn location as the other, so I had emitted within the hypothesis that they had set locations, meaning one could quickly reach and farm each spawn zone to grind for the exo-prints.

[cold pumice]

Nope. Theres no spawn map.

[royal briar]

Oh well, on the bright side, there's a guaranteed dupeless exo-print each time, so I guess that's not TOO bad either.

[inner tendon]

@muted lance Do you have a question?

[marsh tundra]

there is countless spawnpoints, same as the usual random npc spawn in open world, too many to map out, and the spawn is randomized everytime anyway

[inner tendon]

Sorta, they always spawn a fair distance away and move towards you.
The main issue in Retal is when the game forgets that they're down an alley, and you have to go hunting for them, or even worse: they spawn at a Control Point and you walk into one and it's the Normandy Beaches all of a sudden.

If you can spawn-trap a Kill Squad though, they die incredibly fast, especially if you can break an explosive they have on them, and/or have Rupter's Tear active.

[marsh tundra]

normandy beach for them u mean cause i came to get my loot and empty my bullet king mag and im all out of mags for some reason

damn i wanted to sound cool and awesome but it just doesnt make sense

[royal briar]

You should've said "I came to get goodies and empty my BK mag, and I'm all out of goodies...". Gotta appreciate the Duke Nukem ref tho.

[inner tendon]

God it's frustrating being around youngins sometimes.

Roddy Piper is rolling in his grave right now.

[marsh tundra]

you aint old ur like around the same age as me

[royal briar]

Are Summit Softlocks still a thing?

[marsh tundra]

if an npc doesn't spanw a hidden timer will start and after that everything will be cleared and u can continue

[cold pumice]

Rivens is ageless

[brazen spear]

i leveled up my char through the original campaign and wony without using the boost. if i use the boost on a second char to get those free specialization level ups, does my tinkering / expertise / etc carry over? I haven't unlocked that much but feels like now would be the time to make the switch if I'm going to before I head to Brooklyn

[harsh cipher]

what's the best/fastest way to level up my expertise?

[left ravine]

Countdown, donating items

[harsh cipher]

k thanks

[real zodiac]

is there channel for plot, im so confused about NY
didnt we already captured keener, as the watch we got is from him, he is also in prison in DC
but why NY he has entirely different story and team

[inner tendon]

#division-universe for lore talk, yep.

[bold tiger]

The specialization level ups is for the main 3 that released before wony, the last specializations you still have to play and level up
Expertise is account wide, the resources/blueprints you'd pay a visit to inaya in DC to buy the shared blueprints
Think you still have yo see the quartermaster in DC for the 2nd watch though

[edgy moth]

is there an easy way to get an exotic or is it just RNG, pray it drops... like 'farm this place has a higher chance to drop this exotic' or etc?

[bold tiger]

RNGesus if you don't want to the retaliate route for a few of the exotics and the materials to craft what you want

[edgy moth]

retaliate route? (am relative baby.. sld rank 20'ish). I'm sure I'll get one eventually, just seeing all these shiny's and used to games where you can grind specific area's. I'll get to praying to RNGesus :D ty

[bold tiger]

retaliate is a new game mode that came out last tuesday. you're just basically getting a faction angry enough to take over a spot on the map. you engage it within 6-7 hours which then goes downt to about 7ish minutes for you to take all the controls back in that specific area. which then you get i think it was 50% chance upon succeeding the retaliation and 50% if a kill squad spawns during your mode

somewhere up above is a list of the factions that drop which exotic weapons
another method is the priority objective spamming that gives you exotic items for rewards, gets pretty boring quickly if you ask me

[daring steeple]

So I killed a kill squad and it said I evaded them and didn't give me anything for it... does the squad have a timer?

[bold tiger]

probably a range thing. you get too far and they'll evade but you might've had 1 or 2 stuck someplace

[daring steeple]

Ah, the squad spawned right next to the CP I was about to attack so I pulled back. Will bear that in mind next time

[real zodiac]

how do people play 100 floors in summit, it is so long

[inner tendon]

You aren't meant to do it in one go.

[real zodiac]

is there a melee build how do u even do this without getting smacked

[inner tendon]

@keen pelican Floor 100 has a chance to drop it, otherwise you can wait for the Climax Missions to release and it'll give you one at a 100% drop rate, when you finish it on Master difficulty.

[keen pelican]

Yeah, I know. Is it dropping now, or does it start from September 23rd from the summit?

[inner tendon]

#news-and-announcements has a post with all the info you need.
To ensure fairness across the community, on September 23rd we’re also introducing an additional way to earn the pistol: a drop rate upon reaching Level 100 in the Summit game mode.

[peak tusk]

Thanks for this, has it been confirmed what 'a drop rate' means?

I recently found out that the retaliation Reconstructed Cache's carry BP for all kinds of named weapons, that can't be obtained anywhere else AFAIK. Would the NY Kill Squad Cache be the same but for exotic items, or does it only contain the ones available from the gamemode?

[dense whale]

not even guaranteed 😭

[real zodiac]

good way to find people to do retaliation within the game only ?

[dense whale]

you just have to matchmake randomly and ask them if they want to do retaliations

Or

you can do it Solo with Normal or Hard difficulty if you are low lvl

To be honest,retaliation isn't that hard even on heroic solo

[real zodiac]

i tried, just ran out of time

[inner tendon]

You'll get better.

[real zodiac]

i can max out exotic stat by reconfig ?

[inner tendon]

Yes, but it can also potentially make it worse.

If it's a piece that's farmable, you're probably better off farming it out, and saving your Exotic Components for Expertise stuff later on. You'll need hundreds.

[desert thunder]

How do you get the turmoil knee pads

[cold pumice]

You dont.

[desert thunder]

so new players cant get them

[cold pumice]

Nope.

[desert thunder]

ty

[rugged stratus]

how new? they did a grant after the last season. if you did stretch goals you may have one in your stash.

[desert thunder]

My ps5 die and went to xbox 2 days ago

and sucks the i cant transfur character

[rugged stratus]

oic, explains why you didnt have the new player icon

[desert thunder]

Like it would have been nice to pay a fee or something like that to transfer my progression from PlayStation to Xbox

Cuz on Playstation I was 5000 SHD

[rugged stratus]

no doubt. so yeah, its out of reach for the moment. it may be added into seasonal or conditional loot pools down the road. something like that would be announced

[desert thunder]

Now I have to start grinding all over again lol

But yeah, thanks for the info

[rugged stratus]

np, should be a quick grind since you most likely know all the npc behaviors. 3x and 5x will help too

[desert thunder]

But even not my shd level. But all my gear that I got on my character on Playstation would be nice to be transferred over all the stuff I bought all the skins I bought

[reef gyro]

New player here. I keep seeing references online to the Nemesis sniper rifle giving a 25% headshot damage buff to your main hand weapon. Is this true or incorrect? Hard to find up to date information.

[warm bluff]

What exactly is a 3x proficiency xp? How does that differ from normal and season pass xp events?

[warm bluff]

There's no such passive benefit

[novel shard]

It's mostly for gear that is not on rank 10

Helps it level up quick especially for weapons

[warm bluff]

Oh yeah that makes sense. Thanks!

[novel shard]

You're welcome

[worldly fjord]

tried to activate pistolero like 5 times now but it refuses to turn on. any fixes i can do? :/

[slow grove]

If I do retaliations on Normal, do I still have a chance of getting blueprints?

[worldly fjord]

i believe yes but at lower odds

[dense whale]

guys
i have a question
in #td2-descent's Spreadsheet,i saw that Huntsman is in the list

Suppose,i dont own the brooklyn dlc,can i still get the Huntsman AR Blueprint from reconstructed caches?

[slow grove]

That's fine. I dont chase blueprints, just wanted to know if I could still get them. I can do the map on Hard but Retaliations is another story. Going Normal mode till I "get gud", or get better, LOL.

[dense whale]

its a regional server bug
I faced the same bug at y7s1

but at y7s2,i can turn on the world modifer

[slow grove]

Also, the Retaliation I did on hard I got the Busy Little Bee blueprint as reward as well as Exodus? gloves. BUT, when I got back to whitehouse I changed map to Normal and blueprints are not at Inaya. Not sure if it's a bug, assuming I lost them in changing map.

[worldly fjord]

no need to check inya, theyre already there at the crafting bench

[dense whale]

well,bps dont go to Inaya,it goes straight into the workbench

[slow grove]

Ah, ok, I'll check there.

[inner tendon]

Just to confuse matters more:: you used to have to buy the BP itself.

[warm bluff]

In Washington dc, I occasionally experience static and I'm aware this is due to a hunter stalking me. I haven't been able to engage into a fight so far. I'm curious what's name of the mask dropped if I were to defeat it?

[inner tendon]

@warm bluff Nothing. They drop no loot, and put up no fight.

we refer to them as "stalkers" because that's all they do: watch you when you sleep travel around.

[slow grove]

Yeah, they are at crafting workbench. Thanks.

[warm bluff]

I see. Good to know. I guess it's just a creepy little detail in the game then

[inner tendon]

Yeah it's all part of the story stuff, you get to fight plenty of Hunters if you do want masks.

[warm bluff]

Yeah.. I know that. I thought this one one was part of those 8 or so hunters

Anyway thanks!

[inner tendon]

Oh there's way more than 8.

[warm bluff]

In dc?

[inner tendon]

12 in DC, 13 in DC/NYC, plus the ones in brooklyn, and also a few Manhunts have them as well as special fights.

some encounters drop multiple masks, but each one only gives 1 (one) key.

[worldly fjord]

freaky hunters before GTA 6

[clever fjord]

Don't sleep with your toes out
Hunters might tickle em

[inner tendon]

What a billion dollars spent on microtransactions will do to a company.

[warm bluff]

Ohhh.. ok ok. So there are 8 hunter encounters but 12 in total. Each encounter drops a key.. got it

[inner tendon]

For the base DC ones yeah, then some of the NYC ones are also in DC (the rest in NYC itself), and then brooklyn has all unique ones.

yes that's confusing.

welcome to div2!

[clever fjord]

I'm sure a venn diagram can explain that

[inner tendon]

I think the diagram is just going to be 1 circle as "sokolova says so" and the other one is "the extra hook means someting!".

[royal briar]

What does the game mean when it says "All of the Countdown loot is of Heroic Quality."

Like, the game never explains what is heroic quality?

I know that playing higher difficulties decrease the odds of finding purple garbage, all the while granting a chance to find exotics starting from Challenging, but apart from that...no idea.

Does it increase the chance for god rolls or something?

[cold pumice]

It means that all loot will drop at the same level that normally drops on heroic difficulty, regardless of the difficulty the countdown is set to.

For example, nothing purple can drop (all drops are High End+)

And all attribute and mod rolls will be 60% or above (this is the lowest roll possible on Heroic)

[pine magnet]

What's happening? It's 10:06 a.m. and the invasion has begun.

[next cargo]

I have the same thing and I am in Aus

I found the problem you have to use the button to activate the scout missions

[royal briar]

You neeed to Activate the Scout

Edit: It's a vicious nerf invented by a malevolent entity named "The developers" to prevent players from accidentally doing what's known as "Several scouts as a time".

[next cargo]

big button that says activate scout

[nimble spruce]

This is an old loading screen from when there was only one difficulty for countdown (now equivalent to challenging difficulty).
If you run it on Normal or Hard you will definitely get worse quality loot.

Slight correction to what Dorky said: the minimum of 60% on stat rolls for heroic loot is the average of all stat rolls on that item - so an individual roll might be lower if other rolls are higher.

[pine magnet]

Thanks ok now work. But it's not normal

[oak gazelle]

yea and it averages around 75% stats combined that is

[sterile plover]

Does anyone know how many Broken SHD Watches you get after crafting them for spice, dog tags etc etc at the crafting bench ?

[green wyvern]

you get 5

[sterile plover]

thanks boss .... fastes answer ever !!!

[fair hound]

Journey part 7, using sanitation active modifier - "burn at least two enemies with the initial explosion from sanitation" - I have no clue what explosion are they talking about? any help will be appreciated.

[swift willow]

Its the activation aoe cloud that sets them on fire

[fair hound]

so I should activate it in close proximity only?

[swift willow]

Yes, reading what the skill does helps alot 😂

[fair hound]

I'm not the brightest bulb, especially these days, but the word explosion isn't in the description of the modifier

[swift willow]

If you press it, it will briefly show aoe circle indicator around you, and then fill the area with burn chem

The circle is pretty big so basically run into a group and use it

[fair hound]

thank you for the explanation

[swift willow]

And after that you can set more enemies on fire with your weapon

[fair hound]

good to know

[heady veldt]

is Picaro's Holster dropping always with same stats or the bug is only for weapon damage not being full.. i.e. I have one now with 118k armor, armor regen, and 10% weapon damage (it's meant to be 20% I know that, and it's bugged and massive said they probably won't be fixing that) but is armor regen attribute a random one and can drop to be anything?

[nimble spruce]

It will always drop with armour core and 10% WD but yes, the other stat is random.

[solar vigil]

server is down right now, what about your region

[lost barn]

Kettle is there a page on channel where solutions to riddle manhunt each week? What are todays task:)

[nimble spruce]

I think @summer canyon might be recording them in the wiki. Otherwise someone generally posts them in here and on Reddit.
Eg #td2-general-chat message
Note that this week for the first time you have to 'activate' the scout before you can see and complete the tasks.

[marsh tundra]

it's not meant to be 20%, it was meant to be 15% and got nerfed

[stiff lance]

how do you find stacked DZ servers on pc

[marsh tundra]

most of the time you get put in a lobby with other players, they make sure almost nobody is alone in dz

[orchid hearth]

I've always had a question: why do extended magazine models for some assault rifles like the Lexington never seem to install properly? But the extended magazines for police M4s are installed correctly. Also, is it really that difficult to fix model errors? Making the Lexington's extended magazine install in the same position as the police M4 shouldn't be too hard, right?

[cold pumice]

The Lexington is functionally a Police M4, visually it is an LVOA-C, not an M4

[orchid hearth]

Both are modified rifles based on the AR15 platform, meaning their lower receivers are essentially the same. Therefore, the inconsistency in how the extended magazines are installed—or the fact that the Lexington's extended magazine isn't installed correctly at all—is a fundamental error.

[harsh cipher]

they both might be based off of the ar15 platform but both dont have the same model, and its such a small issue i dont think most people really care about it, nor do i think the devs care about it

[orchid hearth]

If you observe carefully, you'll notice that extended magazines for many assault rifles and rifles are often installed incorrectly. This includes models like the Lexington, LVOA-C, Lightweight M4, UIC15 MOD2, and the military G36—all of which frequently exhibit misaligned magazine placement.

[harsh cipher]

oh intresting, my point still stands its not an issues, and most people really dont care, so i dont think it will ever be fixed, and it was most likely an oversight while making the guns

[cold pumice]

It's not a "fundamental error" and that is severely overstating the size of the "issue"

[orchid hearth]

Indeed, Tom Clancy's The Division 2has one of the highest numbers of firearm accessory model misalignments I've encountered in any realism-based shooter game.

[cold pumice]

This is not a realism based shooter.

[pseudo tundra]

i think you made the issue pretty obvious, the issue is the position of items and less real life compatibility, it is possible that then they dragged a LVOA-C skin over the code of the police M4 it's just moved

[harsh cipher]

the game has never been a realism-shooter

it has been a loot and shoot (i think that's what they call it)

[cold pumice]

A looter shooter can still be realism based.

But this game isn't it. It's a tactical arcade cover shooter if anything

[pseudo tundra]

anyhow while minor, best thing is to just take a screenshot and report it

[harsh cipher]

true, I've messed up on conveying my words to text my bad

[cold pumice]

I believe some of the skins do state in game that they may misallign due to the models used.

So I dopubt it's anything they'll fix

[orchid hearth]

However, the incorrectly installed extended magazine truly makes the Lexington look extremely awkward. Due to the misaligned placement, it resembles an overly long banana stuck onto the rifle, making it visually unappealing no matter how you look at it.

[cold pumice]

Maybe to less than 0.1% of the playerbase, I guess

[harsh cipher]

personally it doesnt seem awkward or unappealing to look at all, but that's just me

[orchid hearth]

Indeed, they simply won’t fix this issue. I reported the misaligned extended magazine problem back when the Honey Badger was first introduced, but their responses have always been dismissive. Even now, nothing has been changed.

[cold pumice]

I find typing like a reddit mod to be unappealing tbh.

Again, it's really NOT an issue.

[harsh cipher]

its an issue that doesnt really matter they have much more imporant things to worry about then a issue that doesnt matter like this, most people really do not care

[orchid hearth]

In fact, if they could implement extended magazine functionality purely through data adjustments without altering the magazine’s visual model—similar to how it’s handled with the MPX—I wouldn’t be complaining about the misaligned installation issue at all.

[cold pumice]

We really just be using the word "issue" for anything now...huh?

[orchid hearth]

In fact, I’d much rather use the Lexington’s original magazine model with its unique skin. Compared to that awkwardly long, banana-like extended magazine, the original design is far more aesthetically pleasing.

[harsh cipher]

the only aesthetic prombelm i have with some guns is when the the extended mags, and stuff doesnt match the skin of the gun, but it just bugs me a bit, but that's all,

[orchid hearth]

Indeed, simply retaining the original magazine model while adding extended capacity through data adjustments would easily resolve the issue. There are already plenty of in-game examples, such as the SIG MPX and G28, which preserve the default magazine’s appearance while incorporating extended magazine functionality—striking a perfect balance between aesthetics and performance. Wouldn’t it be much better if the Lexington were treated the same way?

[cold pumice]

MUCH better? No.

Better? No, not really, has literally no effect on anything...

[orchid hearth]

Everyone has different opinions. If they intend to sell weapon skins, that improperly installed extended magazine is definitely a major flaw that ruins the aesthetic appeal of the skins.

Anyway, I won’t try to convince myself that there’s no issue or that it looks fine—if it’s installed incorrectly, it’s wrong, plain and simple.

[cold pumice]

Again we're back to thje use of "major" in that sentence.

[royal briar]

The only thing major about all this is how butthurt some folks can be for something you wouldn't ever notice during normal gameplay.

[harsh cipher]

lol, i hope i'm not one of those people, the only thing i dislike is what i pointed out earlier, but its not like a major issues

[oak gazelle]

transmog came, we may get a weapon mod transmog system in the future
and it's not only about looks, but also running the same old muzzle break, because it gives you 5% chc
maybe you want to have a silencer on it for different sound effects etc. that is something you definitely notice

[cold pumice]

Transmog would be cool sure,

But that's not this players issue, his issue it that one of the skins doesn't perfectly align with the extended magazine, by which I mean it's a few pixels out

[oak gazelle]

yea I mean, it's definitely something I wouldn't care about, but there are people that bring the same thing up for other apparel stuff
I just think it's fair that the person can have his opinion and dislike the misalignment, if not brought up in an annoying manner

[mental hatch]

when are they normally adding more lvl to the seaosn pass ? to farm boxes

[cold pumice]

TF? the season literally JUST started....stretch goals are at least 9 weeks away

[orchid hearth]

When did they ever mention adding a transmog feature for weapon attachments? I don’t recall hearing any news about that. If such a system were actually implemented, I could use the original magazine model to cover up that ugly extended magazine that always seems to be mounted incorrectly.

[mental hatch]

i am lvl 100 already its jsut boring getting nothing

[harsh cipher]

what is a transmog?

[cold pumice]

Changing the look of something to look like something else

without changing it's stats

[weak finch]

only the best feature a game could possibly have

[oak gazelle]

they didn't, but I said may, because it got a lot of attention in the suggestions channel
and I think it would be a nice feature, personally
also the original transmog for gear was implemented, because players wished for

[cold pumice]

It's pretty much a staple feature of any Looter shooter game tbh. Not sure why we don't have it yet but that's life

[oak gazelle]

yea sadly, stuck for now with the current system, at least there is no real reason, why they shouldn't add it

[orchid hearth]

Alright, got my hopes up for nothing. To be honest, I was really looking forward to this feature. After all, many of the attachments in this game just don’t look right aesthetically.

[weak finch]

We have full transmog in gear though. We can change the look of vests, backpacks and so on. Only missing it for weapons

[cold pumice]

Transmog...ish I would say. Hiding chest pieces for example would be a good addition instead of just on certain apparel

[keen dune]

New player here, I've been advised to stay away from countdown since I don't know what I'm doing but every guide I look up on how to get gear says to do countdown.

Is there another way of getting items?

[wispy merlin]

idk who would tell you to stay away from countdown entirely, they probably meant stay away from countdown heroic. countdown challenging is the best way to get started for new players

[keen dune]

So is it alright to do so?
From what I understood it might be due to tactics or something? I don't have much game knowledge which might lead to me hindering other players. that's what I want to avoid.

[wispy merlin]

no, it's just damage. heroic countdown needs a lot of damage which new players don't have

challenging countdown is very lax

[keen dune]

Oh I see, I'll try it out then 🙂 thank you

[storm crescent]

Gunner research stage 5 , neutralize basilisk by destroying his armor first , two questions

1. How to do it
2. If I do it correctly the challenge should instantly be completed on active tracker screen (right corner of screen) or do I have to complete the mission to see it

I’m nading myself and trying again, need help

[green wyvern]

Use your pistol to break his armor go to next piece and I’m pretty sure it’s completed when you kill Him after breaking all his armor

[storm crescent]

What order of armor?

[wispy merlin]

any order

[storm crescent]

Okay ill give it a crack

[oak gazelle]

there is a spot where he stops walking and you can safely shoot him
just head back to the door you C4'd and get into the left corner, before walking through again

[cold pumice]

Oxi Chem is very effective at breaking chunga armour

[storm crescent]

Yeah I gave up on the shooting

I just unlocked it

[storm crescent]

I’ll try that too thanks

[royal briar]

All that chat about transmog systems reminds me of the slideshow I made two years ago on Reddit to try and offer a solution to the problem 😭.

So happy I don't touch this site anymore.

[oak gazelle]

Yea kinda sad, I've seen another UI post, that was made by an actual UI designer.
https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/comments/1l20zvt/expertise_system_uxui_feedback/

Since they revived the game and took feedback more seriously the last couple of months, I hope it comes to fruition and they will put some of the suggestion into the game, especially QoL stuff, the game needs it.

[weak finch]

sooo what season modifiers are you guys using? Zealot seems the be the meta? But the fire one is my absolute favorite... EVERY GUN IS IRON LUNG NOW

[wraith flare]

sanitation with no intention to switch

[marsh tundra]

depends on preference tbh

i like sanitation, i dont like zealot its too op, the advance material is very funny tho especially on explosive build

grenade launcher goes brrrrrrr

[pseudo tundra]

I do like how casual the shield flash is

[raven mountain]

that's a big hp bar

[slow grove]

I didn't play the last season modifiers. I'm not sure how to get active modifier Spiced Up to activate. Does it need to get to level 5 first and it auto does it? Sounds like I need to press something and it's not telling me what to press.

[strange harbor]

T on keyboard

[slow grove]

Oh, thank you!!!!

[slow cairn]

is the OxPecker any good? just found out i can almost craft it in my tab. never used before, or is it meh?

[fierce rover]

how do you add people in this game?

and can you add them or send them an invite after they leave?

[marsh tundra]

either ingame or with the ubi client

[marsh tundra]

there is a recently played with tab

[river talon]

help

[inner tendon]

@river talon #unofficial-troubleshooting is the best place to look for help, but that looks like your connection might be the issue.
before you do anything else: restart everything (internet included), and your PC too. And update anything that needs to be updated.

[bold tiger]

why not restart the day to be extra safe? (> <)

[inner tendon]

I think that's just taking sleeping pills.

[gleaming trout]

this is new hard game mode?
i cant have armor kit
i cant take armor kit
and pistoleo isnt display

[edgy moth]

is there a way to tell if you got a special drop? I did tidal basin, got the 'fancy rifle'.. and think I sold it.. so went back to tidal basin and it gave me a purple smg instead...

[final sigil]

best way to resist 1 mill dmg with zelot?

[burnt wolf]

are you talking about the adestria sniper you get towards the nemesis blueprint project?

[edgy moth]

yeah. I went back and tried to get it a second time and got a smg. I know I didn't stick it in my stash, and the crafting tables still telling me 'go get the clue'.

I'm wondering if I have to do it non invaded vs invaded... or vice versa. can't remember how I did it first time.

[burnt wolf]

once you get the adestria sniper, youre supposed to deconstruct it. once you deconstruct it you have to play the 3 main stongholds on invaded and heroic to get an exotic part and grand washington hotel on invaded and heroic to get the blueprint

[edgy moth]

I know i'm supposed to deconstruct it.. I think I accidentally fed it to a vendor, or that. I'll try running it again after I sleep, maybe do it twice. once invaded, once not

[burnt wolf]

tidal basin is always invaded

invaded just means its black tusk instead of the normal enemies

and if you didnt get it the second time around, then you probably already deconstructed it, you cant get that sniper twice after deconstructing

if you did sell it then you would have gotten it on your second run

[edgy moth]

is there a way to tell if I have the blueprint? I thought the crafting table would say something but it just says 'go to tidal basin'

[burnt wolf]

you have to play invaded grandwashington hotel to get the blueprint

[edgy moth]

aah. Yeah, its so confusing. trying to google, finding stuff like 5 years old saying blueprint here' or 'world difficulty 5 there' or that. Ok, I just checked my exotic resources and I have the scope.. so I musta done something right. TY, am derp. 'klutz, shorty prime'.. gives me a list of who to hunt. TY :D

[bold tiger]

currently you can get 2 pieces. the adrestria and whatever invaded stronghold missions are in. zoo giving a random piece, and then run GWH for the blue print then go live in countdown with sniper target loot to get of you just wait the several weeks to run the other 2 strongholds you didn't run invaded yet and get those pieces to build it at the crafting station

[west hearth]

Does brooklyn have a exotic weapon wall / hunter mask wall?

[bold tiger]

hunters that when you complete them gives you a named AR and Army Terminal mission drops Catalyst exotic mask and smart cover

[inner tendon]

They're asking if the Exotic/Mask wall exists like in DC+Haven.

[bold tiger]

oh that, i haven't seen any there

[inner tendon]

The Hunter mask wall does exist, I'm not sure about the Exotics, but I doubt there's enough yet.

[pine magnet]

Yes, only Hunter mask wall.

[west hearth]

i see thanks!

Would be interesting to see what im missing, as rn from washington / dc only the IH drop is missing

[nimble spruce]

You can use the spreadsheet pinned in #td2-build-advice if you just want a list of all exotics.
Many don't appear on those walls.

[west hearth]

Yeah, i do have 90% of them, its sad dc wall cant be filled without the special edition afaik

[bold tiger]

you mean the raid exclusives?

[nimble spruce]

They mean lullaby and ruthless

[west hearth]

Yes

I do have ruthless/merciless on the wall but lullaby/sweet dreams is not

[inner tendon]

@west hearth You can still get the base version of each Exotic, the other version is something you have to convert your main one in order to get get, you convert it via the Crafting Table.
So if you have one of the Raid versions, you would have to have both, assuming you own the y1 pass of course.

[grim zealot]

explain this like im 5 plz

[marsh tundra]

retaliations

u welcome

[grim zealot]

ik dat. I mean why it aint working... Specially rikers

why it aint red >:C

[marsh tundra]

rikers and cleaners are in brooklyn or new york, not dc

[grim zealot]

ahh kk thx

[nimble spruce]

Go to NY and kill a couple more rikers and it should trigger it

[muted lance]

nice game

[green wyvern]

get oxi and slowly and painfully kill them

great game tbh

[copper crown]

just to ask, has anyone encounter the anti-cheat error?
i have been trying to log into the game but it keep saying i dont have anti-cheat installed
uninstalled and reinstalled ubisoft connect and the game twice, verified files but no dice

[marsh tundra]

did u restart ur pc ?

[copper crown]

yup

did all of the hardware checks and whatnot as well but no dice

all my drivers are up to date too

[pseudo tundra]

Inside the game folder should be easy anti cheat

Reinstall from there

[weak finch]

Morning agents, I have a question about Reconstructed Caches. I did one last night and it gave me a Dark Winter SMG, which I already had, and a blueprint for a named vest. Will it always give me a new blueprint? Or can I get duplicate blueprints? I wanna know if it's worth it to grind it in Retaliation, thanks. I know this system exists also in Descent, but I have not touched the mode properly yet

[pseudo tundra]

So far i havent heard the game giving any duplicated blueprints

[weak finch]

amazing, thanks, then it is worth it

this reconstructed thing was "buried" in Descent only right? You had to grind Descent for the reconstructed caches

[copper crown]

No dice. I tried it and nothing happen

[pseudo tundra]

Restarted PC?

[copper crown]

yes to pretty much everything

[pseudo tundra]

Have you tried any other ubi game?

Or with eac

[copper crown]

division 1 works fine

[edgy moth]

if what I'm reading on google.. the lmg pestilence is a DZ only gun.. gotta go in there to try and find it before it joins the common loot pool?

[copper crown]

nope.

you can get pestilence in like targeted loot

[weak finch]

its not, just farm for it on Countdown, targeted loot LMG

[edgy moth]

ok. Its hard to tell whats old info and whats new.. I've seen alot that said you gotta find it in the dark zone first before its added to normal loot pool. must be old info.

I'll have to figure out how to access countdown ty

[runic hazel]

Dz rn is for two things: get Dark winter (smg) and rock and roll (shotgun)

And try get the raid exotics too, the new gear can be farmed in countdown easily

[green wyvern]

And ig tdi kard custom im pretty sure it’s dz exclusive

[runic hazel]

True

[green wyvern]

But I’ve gotten 4 from caches

[runic hazel]

I got mines from countdown vendor

[edgy moth]

got bluescreen from a weekly cash, been enjoying it, just want more options :D

[runic hazel]

I remember we got 2 tdi on countdown in a month or two

[runic hazel]

Try It with the new gear set, is absolutely nuts

[edgy moth]

which gear set is that.

[runic hazel]

U can use pestilence too, if u build It correctly is like Plague Inc simulator

[runic hazel]

Tipping scales, the brand new gear set

[copper crown]

No point in there tbh. Use GCRock discord for daily raids

you have a higher chance of getting the raid exotics than farming in the DZ

as for bighorn, do DUA legendary. that is like the easiest legendary out of all of them

[runic hazel]

With the new modifiers legendary is easier than ever

[edgy moth]

huh. I'll look into it. I'm using a 4 piece set.. striiker I think, + a chest piece that gives me armor per kill, and gloves that give me a lil extra lmg damage.

[runic hazel]

I did a sub 10 for the first time doing the same, just shooting

[copper crown]

you can essentially solo legendary with the new modifiers. Throw on a dps build (all reds) with zealot and just watch it burn

[runic hazel]

Striker is good but Tipping Scales can reach way higher crit numbers

[copper crown]

do you use the chest and bp for tipping scales?

[runic hazel]

Chest depends on the lmg im using

[copper crown]

i see

[runic hazel]

Bag is a must go

[inner tendon]

Does that mean it's a must to have on, or it's a must to go into the bin?

[copper crown]

what does the chest give again?

[copper crown]

Must have on for the build

[runic hazel]

Increased stacks Up to 75

[copper crown]

it's a increase from 4 to 7 % crit stack

[inner tendon]

I think saying that it's superior to Strikers is going to get a brick through your window, but it is a very solid gearset, particularly for this Season.

[runic hazel]

Thats the bag

[copper crown]

so i see. Probably smth i will keep but probably not use.

[runic hazel]

Yea, i like more some chest talents

[dense whale]

what does 6/6 represent?

[copper crown]

i mean it is strong in its own way. Think of both sets for different uses. Striker is more for general play and more beginner friendly, while tipping scales is more specialized and need more thinking ahead due to you having to prefire to get the stacks up before the battle really

[inner tendon]

Project Exotics.

[weak finch]

you guys are "pre-firing" your guns? amazing

[inner tendon]

It's not often that I read "prefire" for div2, traditionally that's been a great way to die very fast.

[dense whale]

i see
thank you

[inner tendon]

Oh hey I just heard a gunshot outside my window, or a car backfire.

I hope it was the latter.

[copper crown]

maybe but the stack buildup is slow af for tipping scales so it is better to try and maintain it before entering the battle

[copper crown]

oh man stay safe.

[inner tendon]

TS users prefiring again.

I've been trying out the Tink-Strikers setup a lot recently, and holy cow that thing is brutal.

[weak finch]

you know, its like the trope of the big shirtless guy with a LMG shooting at the air before engaging you (Metal Slug, Resident Evil 5)

[inner tendon]

@weak finch Hot Shots 2.

or UHF!

Yeah too old, I knew it when I said it.

I'm curious how TS vs Striker is for the BK, since its buffs it's been in a weird place.

[runic hazel]

In what ik in crits in way better (Up to 2,5M-3M)

But u lose ROF

[weak finch]

this is ROF season son... Striker is shaking in its boots

[nocturne siren]

Anybody got any solutions for completing "activate spiced up when under 20% armor"? Did so when I had barely 1 tick mark left and it doesn't count

It's somehow counting now nvm 💀

[weak finch]

That is one of the easiest among those annying ass tasks... sounds like a bug? I'm full red cores, no armor whatsoever and worked every time

[nocturne siren]

Using an armor build and likely Memento is what's causing it to bug out. Trying to knock out 2 tasks by using this build

[weak finch]

on the topic of bugs, i had a funny one yesterday, let me post it (pls dont delete mods)

it also worked in-game! People could not see my arms.

[nocturne siren]

Wtf 💀 reverse Lieutenant Dan over here. Legs, no arms

[weak finch]

agent Rayman

[nocturne siren]

Good news is that it doesn't look like you need a hand... Or two

[narrow kraken]

Why does this keep popping up? I have nothing unclaimed or anything

[nocturne siren]

Check journey missions

[narrow kraken]

As i say. Everything is claimed. Went through all the sections/missions. Nothing there is I can claim or do

[nocturne siren]

Check your season pass as well

If nothing, is a bug

[narrow kraken]

Considering its division 2 and Ubisoft. Probably a bug 🤣

[nocturne siren]

Remind me what an immobilizer is?

[muted ether]

riot foam guys in true sons missions

[nocturne siren]

thank you 🙏

[marsh tundra]

there are other journey mission and season pass to claim

[trail mango]

any tips to keep zealot active for 35 secs?

[weak finch]

Level it up

[trail mango]

I did. I can't even see the timer after activating it

[ember seal]

Anybody getting login issues fron xbox side ?

[edgy moth]

is there a good time of day for running countdown?

[left ravine]

You pretty much always find people for Countdown

[marsh tundra]

its always a good time, if there is no one on your server you'll be matched elsewhere, but it will be a bit laggy

[edgy moth]

huh. weird. can't find a group and 'starting' a group.. i've had no one show up while in cue for like 10 mins, so wasn't sure.

[marsh tundra]

matchmake in challenging

normal and hard have nobody running it since it not worth it

heroic is pretty hard with a bad group so dont do that if you aint sure you can steamroll

[edgy moth]

aah. that would explain why. Was cuing hard, cus low lvl noob :D Fear my shd 50 :D

[marsh tundra]

basic knowledge for countdown : no skill build, dont use skill at extraction, follow your team everywhere, shoot stuff and pick up loot

[edgy moth]

I figured. I was just gonna 'follow the group and shoot who they shoot' :D

[marsh tundra]

the no skill at extract is very important since hunter will hack your skills and kill ur team if you do that

stuff that cant be hacked is fine

[edgy moth]

out of curiosity, when you say 'skill build'.. you mean someone who relys on say, turrets and drones' for 99% of their dps? (been running seeker mine/restore hive with my LMG).

[marsh tundra]

yeah, dont use thoses in countdown, it will kill your team

[karmic shuttle]

🙂

[edgy moth]

restore hive kills? woo :D Ty

[green wyvern]

hunters can hack your skills and use them for themself

(only ones you put down like hive turret drone are the main ones that come to mind)

[edgy moth]

ty. bumped it up to lvl 3 difficulty and immidiately got group. TY

[edgy moth]

just ran one so fast, used the sticky bomb, but didn't have time for the hive to be needed. was fun

[green wyvern]

nice

[edgy moth]

gonna try again running pulse instead of hive. TY for all the helps

[green wyvern]

could also try something more weapon focused because youre moving alot on countdown so dont need to worry about your skills not being near you

[inner tendon]

This is going to be a weird question, but apart from the Flex Emote, is anyone aware of any emotes that give a descriptor in chat? Like for example, normally they say "does a dance" or whatever, but I'm looking for ones that get jokey with it, or are just overly elaborate.

@full vessel Rule 4, no advertising.

[marsh tundra]

i know several emotes do that, thats why i had them muted in chat lol, but you do need to be in front of someone else for lot of them to proc a text in chat

[inner tendon]

I was hoping for some names, if you have any.

Outside of Flex of course.

[nimble spruce]

Iirc you can just click through the emotes in your apparel tab then escape out and you'll see all the descriptions in your chat box

[inner tendon]

Yeah I have almost all the emotes ingame, was kinda hoping that someone knew some from memory.

[marsh tundra]

it seems they all have a descriptor, but idk about the one being funky

[inner tendon]

Less funky and more overly elaborate, like how flex says "<username> flexes and kisses their armpatch, <other player> has to watch them do this".

[nocturne siren]

"eliminate named enemies with signature weapons" = 7/10

Been killing bounties and it's not been counting. Am I doing something wrong?

[rugged stratus]

I usually just selfie with everyone and that's kinda meh text

[nocturne siren]

Seems to be counting now 🤷 might be due to me using banshee pulse

AH okay it's whenever I activate the specialist weapon modifier. They really ought to change that

[rugged stratus]

You shoulda used demo for that.. infinite boombooms

[nocturne siren]

thatll be when i finish this journey 🙏

@snow cargo

@slim elk

[slim elk]

shit's good

[bold tiger]

Late to the reply. Been a thing since they started the journey mechanic. Even though you do 6 of the 8, the other 2 you still manage to finish will pop that message

[slow cairn]

is there some weird bug atm in the game? i did few missions with my Cartbine 7 & st elmo just did a magic poof from my inventory. Both just says "missing" but i know for 100% i did not destroy em.

[eternal edge]

Are the automated defense parts crafting only or can you get them from retaliations

[flint hare]

craft only

[eternal edge]

ok ty

[marsh tundra]

the guess is that they were supposed to drop from bt but they aren't part of retaliation for some reason maybe they got cut out

[eternal edge]

weird

[copper crown]

just to ask, anyone running into constant crashes whereby the game just can't even open? Like I open it and before it can even start, it just crashes

[pseudo tundra]

Verify files didnt help

[copper crown]

nope

it just get to the animation of the snow-drop engine and then it crashes

i can't even log into the game to play

getting sick of it honestly

[eternal edge]

any recommendations for the last attribute for bluescreen?

[real zodiac]

what is the decent stat line (CHC, CD, HSD etc.) of a standard striker setup ?

[inner tendon]

If no Coyotes: as close to 60% CHC without going over as you can get, and well over 100% CHD, the higher the better since it's limited.
With Coyotes: 50-55% CHC, same rule for CHD.

[real zodiac]

k, so my chc is very low

[weak finch]

Any explanation for that cooldown upgrade?

[real zodiac]

my st.elmo is not maxed stat, what is the recommendation?
should i craft more from blueprint, roll the stat from optimizing or what else ?
im holding off the upgrade on Expertrise because the upgrade is tied to that specific gun

[real zodiac]

the CD part is just math mistake, but it does decrease

it shouldve been deduction instead of addition on the CD

[fierce rover]

a random player helped me clear out a level 4 control point and take out 2 hunters there name was tremorlvl10 :D

[half leaf]

how to find named black tusk leader

im try to find through bounties mission, i cannot see anything 🥲

[fierce rover]

[mellow trout]

Tusk bounties

[half leaf]

i didnt find it on bounties mission

pls help... i wanna just completed my daily project

[mellow trout]

If not bounties then any invaded mission

[half leaf]

okey got it iwill try

[half leaf]

[obsidian ibex]

is there a way to switch shoulders when aiming?

[mellow trout]

On console it's left stick on pc I'm not sure about the bind

[ornate zephyr]

shift on default

[obsidian ibex]

wait seriously?

Imma try it out later lol

[dense whale]

which backpack gives Perfect wicked?

[bold tiger]

wasn't taht hadsburg?

oh nm, it's golan

[dense whale]

i saw a gear on yt rn
Anarchist cookbook

[dense whale]

yep,this

[bold tiger]

there's a spread sheet in the pins section of #td2-build-advice

[real zodiac]

why does it show like this, (only very small green bar) my weapon dmg on mask is maxed

[inner tendon]

Optimisation is slightly improving a stat each time you use it, Recalibration is what you put in your Library to instantly change it.

e.g. you can only Recalibrate 1 attribute/core on an item, then it's locked forever.
Optimisation can be done on every other attribute until it's maxed out.

[real zodiac]

oh, optimizing is basically small upgrade until max

how do people have basically no recoil while firing
i hit max stability the guns still swings up a bit

[regal summit]

You just pull down while firing

[wispy merlin]

just pull down lol

[real zodiac]

when people do it they literally didnt move

[inner tendon]

It's honestly just practice, you start doing it automatically as you fire.

Put it down to playing video games since the 90's.

[wispy merlin]

if you were looking at people using elmo, the gun itself is just a laser already too btw

[inner tendon]

And most folks have at least some WH rolls on their build, which helps a lot more than you would think.

reduced reticule bloom and vertical kick are nice, but the main reason is as basic as it comes: faster reloads.

[obsidian ibex]

is the current season pass worth buying?

[inner tendon]

Only buy it if you enjoy the cosmetics from it, all the actual gameplay content is free.

[blazing timber]

I never had WH rolls outside of gear bonus or running Hotshot

[pearl pasture]

Hey Rivens, would you happen to have that drop table for retaliation? I couldn't find it with the search feature.

[dense whale]

5000 lvl yippe

[oak gazelle]

not Rivens obv, but it's in the official season article -> #news-and-announcements message
or linked here #ask-td2-community message (one message up for drop rates)

or here with drop rate information
#ask-td2-community message

[pearl pasture]

Thanks, i am an idiot. Thought it was made by a community member... oops.

[oak gazelle]

All good, the search feature is nice as long as you know what you're looking for (like exact wording or in a specific time span). Sometimes it's just a picture with no additional text and that is hard to find.

[real zodiac]

why is ur set blue ?

[charred maple]

Any ways to get pistolero directive stay active ?

[marsh tundra]

colorblind settings

[obsidian ibex]

Can anyone tell me what each specialization is good for? 'Cus I can't check out their skill trees and stuff yet since I'm not lvl 30

[dense whale]

colorblind settings

[nocturne siren]

To be fair, division recoil is already at a near minimum compared to other games.

The (usual) recoil patterns are usually like this: |

or if you're using the EB, it goes kinda like this: \

So all you have to do is either pull down, or, go at a slight angle. Controller recoil control imo is easiest bc once you know the sweet spot for the recoil, you can have pinpoint accuracy

I can use EB and keep it nearly dead straight even while mag dumping 🤷‍♀️ just takes practice and time

[dense whale]

or just use LMG

[dense whale]

try to unlock gunner first

[obsidian ibex]

I assume it's the best one by far?

[green wyvern]

Gunner is usually pretty good because 10% armor on kill

But usually depends on the builds which is best

[nimble spruce]

Yeah, there is no 'best by far', the bonuses offered are mostly relatively minor and all specs have builds to which they are most suited. You'll max them all out fairly quickly once you get into the endgame.

[desert thunder]

So I saw this map and I was wondering if anybody has the clue on where it leads?

[nimble spruce]

Isn't that Nancy, the drill from pathway park?

Or is it stranded tanker maybe

[desert thunder]

It was at the tanker mission I thought it was a map to lead a loot stash

[dense whale]

for many builds,yes

named robot on open world

[slow cairn]

since when could you change the background on games (in the libary)? steam

[inner tendon]

2019, IIRC.

[slow cairn]

huh. pog

[real zodiac]

whats eb

[nocturne siren]

Eagle Bearer 💀

Has more recoil than Famas

[real zodiac]

how do i kill easter egg hunters, im getting wacked
or does world difficulty makes a difference

[nocturne siren]

Play it on normal world difficulty

[nimble spruce]

Call for backup, and bring hard cc weapons like elmo and iron lung to give you bigger damage windows

[tardy fog]

if someone does a control point and you do a different one do you get exp from both?

[marsh tundra]

no u need to be in range

[obsidian ibex]

Where can I get this guy's mask? I couldn't find it on the Season pass

[nocturne siren]

its the very first reward. might be a premium unlock

[obsidian ibex]

seriously? I didn't notice that lol

[nocturne siren]

anybody know the most efficient way to get these leveled up?

[pseudo tundra]

Think you can just search zealot in the chat, saw people mentioning how to farm that this week

[night ivy]

Does someone know the sidearm with the biggest base dmg where the talent is reroll able

[oak gazelle]

Click on it 😄
#ask-td2-community message

[night ivy]

Lol nvm sorry didnt see it my bad

[oak gazelle]

dw

[night ivy]

Thanks

[crude falcon]

does retaliation give same EXP as doing control point ?

[oak gazelle]

no there is a bug right now, you won't get any shd xp or season xp from retaliation

[night ivy]

When will the Harvest get lootable it isnt currently available i thu k

[crude falcon]

that is a sad bug

[oak gazelle]

with the next event, probably around halloween

[oak gazelle]

it's a known issue, possibly fixed with the patch on 23rd of septemer

[night ivy]

Thanks again

[oak gazelle]

@marsh tundra it really isn't as bad as people might think

[nocturne siren]

Guessing someone is saying EB recoil is hard?

[marsh tundra]

not even close

[crude falcon]

quick way to gain exp in this event is doing control points ?

[marsh tundra]

with directives and oneshot build

[oak gazelle]

nah, inaccurate 😄

[nocturne siren]

Was boutta say, it's not hard 😂😭

[slow cairn]

is this game getting ddosed or something? my whole group just got DCed at the sametime. in a mission

[marsh tundra]

prob some server issues

[slow cairn]

i guess the Rogue fight was too powerful and kicked us offline.

[marsh tundra]

rogues : 1
agents : 0

[inner tendon]

@slow cairn Them having to resort to DDOS'ing your server means you were doing well!

[slow cairn]

all i heard was my teammates mic sounded french, then everything Froze. i tabbed back in and i did kill one of the rogues before they just naded me to another dimension.
