[marsh tundra]

why cant i claim this commendation ? its stay on the unclaimed list

[slow cairn]

you can eqiup it doe

[edgy moth]

anyone know what the game means by "territory control activities". is that like control points, or 'defend control points' or.. things like the speaker systems...

[final cliff]

i love when this game works 😭

[slow cairn]

you expect too much.

[final cliff]

clearly....

[slow cairn]

i did tho style my div 2. now i just gotta find ze outfit if in div 2.

[slow cairn]

i prob gave up at like Season 3. or whnever that was a year or 3 ago. just take everything at a pepega lvl and enjoy the game :p

[inner tendon]

Does anyone know what literally any of that means?

[final cliff]

shrug

[oak gazelle]

you probably bugged step 4 and now you can't claim it bcs it's not really finished

it listed on the trello known issues board now, but has been bugged a long time

[royal briar]

Aggro a few high difficulty NPCs for the fifth challenge.

As for the third...honestly, you're better off just leveling it up to 5

[inner tendon]

Does the Tidal Basin "method" still work, like it did a few Seasons ago?

I guess it depends on how much damage those turrets do.

[marsh tundra]

i mean legendary is enough i think

[stiff lance]

does world difficulty affect bounty difficulty and XP ?

like if im in challenging but do a heroic bounty will it give me the heroic xp amount

[slim elk]

nope, they have their own difficulty level AFAIK

[slim elk]

Ah yes, that works like that

[real zodiac]

retaliation completion reward is after the event is concluded at the end or each control pt?
i swear i am not getting any drop from defend control pt even at heroic for a few complete runs

u dont even know what i was talking about

completion reward is different loot table than kill squad

still not talking about the same thing

im talking about the blueprint drops from completion pool

u dont get completion loot blueprint from kill squad

i have gotten all KS BP from all 3 base factions but only got 3 completion BPs

my question is whether the completion BP cal from each control pt defending or at end of the event

so is after the entire event

that makes sense why i didnt get as many completion BPs
if it was after each single control pt then even at 50% im too unlucky

[obsidian ibex]

best way to grind e-credits?

[slim elk]

sell junk to salvage or vendors

[strange harbor]

bounty

[obsidian ibex]

I see I see

how does one "heal" a skill? I saw some of my gear had a skill repair stat

[real zodiac]

skills that repair armor like seeker and drone variant

[dense whale]

wassup guys

[real zodiac]

is there anyway to control which zone of retailation gonna happen ?

[cold pumice]

No...

[desert thunder]

Let me guess West Potomac Park and East Mall and maybe just maybe Downtown East if you are lucky and no where else. I know I too am bored with the two spots every time

[real zodiac]

how

[inner tendon]

It's random, they're complaining that the randomisation keeps hitting similar spots.

If you really want a change of pace, hop over to Brooklyn/NYC and do one there.

[desert thunder]

lol if iget it then it means ur getting it too lol hahaha

I think it because it has 4 controle points

[real zodiac]

i wanna aim for zones that has the least control pt so i can farm for completion reward quick

[inner tendon]

You get more of the Crafting Materials, if you do more Control Points during it.

you get them per control point completed within that Retaliation. It's very much worth getting one with 3 or 4.

Just make sure you go buy the blueprints from Inaya (crafting lady at the White House), to take advantage.

[peak tusk]

Is there a list pinned somewhere that has all the available BP from retaliation reconstructed caches, or should I assume that every named (excluding limited time items) item is in the pool?

[desert thunder]

Any idea what's going on with the server?

[half karma]

is there anything actually in contaminated zones or are they just empty locations?

[inner tendon]

Lore stuff, you get a neat backpack trophy for doing them all.

[obsidian ibex]

the year 1 specializations are free right? (Technician, Firebreak, Gunner)

[cold pumice]

You cant target farm them, its random.

If you're getting runs of the same places, ironically, it proves that its random

[muted lance]

After tweaking Turmoil, I feel like it's now a useless item, now it's only for snipers

[peak tusk]

What do you mean?

[nimble spruce]

Pinned in #td2-descent

[muted lance]

now it is useless no longer receives buffs from glass canon

Only headhunters are still effective

[nimble spruce]

I wouldn't say useless, it's still a decent choice when you're OP for the content you're doing and taking twice as long to kill an enemy doesn't make a meaningful difference, then it saves time aiming and positioning.

[oak gazelle]

double dipping is fixed for Glass Cannon
they still work for the purpose of not aiming as much or shooting enemies without looking at it

[obsidian ibex]

the year 1 specializations are free right? (Technician, Firebreak, Gunner)

[marsh tundra]

yes

[obsidian ibex]

Well as long as I don't have to pay for them

Technically I could but where's the fun in that?

[nimble spruce]

All the specs are free, paying just lets you unlock them without first doing the field research (and gives you a few skins to earn instead)

[dusk sluice]

anyone have this week scout missions?

[thick holly]

I completed scout 2 now I’m waiting on 3

[thick holly]

Bottom left click activate scout

[inner tendon]

Scout Week 2
||Complete Resource Convoys x2.||
||Complete activity in Judiciary Square,||
||Complete Jefferson Trade Centre||.

[wraith violet]

Is there a guide that tells you what is new in the new DLC?

[flint hare]

Did some people do a sheet with the reward of retaliation on each difficulty?

[oak gazelle]

Difficulty changes the chances, but not the rewards. Both are in this channel.

[flint hare]

I mean for the mat rewards. I have all blueprints

[ivory knot]

anyone else not receiving premium credits from season pass?

[oak gazelle]

For the five possible groups of Retaliation Materials, the highest drop chances come from level 4 CPs (regardless of faction): three groups at 100%, one at 65%, and one at 35%.
For level 3 CPs, the chances are 100%, 100%, 75%, 49%, and 26%, respectively.
For level 2 CPs, 100%, 50%, 50%, 33%, and 18%.
And for level 1 CPs, 100%, 34%, 34%, 22%, and 12%.
#ask-td2-community message

[flint hare]

oh nice thx. But this needs to be pin. Maybe it was becuse i don't see it in the pin msg menu

[steel olive]

whats this reward in retaliation?

[nimble spruce]

xp towards whichever active modifier corresponds to the faction that did the retaliation, I believe

although it continues to show up even once all active modifiers are maxed

[steel olive]

thanks

[vague marsh]

So I have tons of questions for endgame stuff

so what should I know about gear that I should keep and throw away?

[marsh tundra]

depends on the build u wanna make, it's a good call to keep 1 of every named in stash, it will already be a lot, and for the rest, just check the build u wanna get and then u know what to look for, it's usually not long to farm unless u looking for a unicorn

[vague marsh]

Well I like doing damage. I noticed how the 3 attributes is similiar to a typical mmo tank, dps, mage

[ivory knot]

1. Keep 1 of every golden named item in your stash.

2. Keep 1 of every exotic in your stash.

3. Keep brand sets which roll with a red core (weapon damage) along with crit chance and crit damage. Or at least one of those at a high percentage (basically if you have almost full attributes on those 3 keep it. Just take note of the brandset and if you're going to use it for a build in the future or not.

4. Do the same for the yellow core brandsets and blue core brand sets IF you're thinking of playing a tech or a tank build. (Mind you, some builds require a brand piece with red sub-attributes and a yellow main-attribute or vice-versa/ goes for all the different cores really. So just check the build you want to make and follow that as your guideline in keeping brandsets.

5. For SET-Gear (the teal-green stuff that has bonus stuff at 2-3-4 pieces.) Same thing as #3 and 4. If it's a red core set, keep it if it has high crit chance/crit damage. At least one of the two so you can recalibrate the other one, in my experience it's better to have crit chance than crit damage and be able to reroll the crit damage to headshot or whatever else you might need. (Can never have enough crit chance, but the cap is always 60%, so keep that in mind when making builds as you can get crit chance from talents on exotics and other gear.)

6. When it comes to Vest armor: Take note of the talent, the best talents for DPS builds are obliterate or unbreakable, one gives you damage, the other gives you a chance at surviving, all other talents can be useful however, so take a gander in your recalibration station or online and read through them all, see what piques your interest.

7. If you're really new to the game, focus on filling out your library and upgrading your expertise level. (You can do this from anywhere as long as you're not in combat by going into your inventory and pressing M, you don't have to go to the White house to do it.)
   Strip the max-stats off any item, and then talents.

A bit of extra explanation regarding 3 and 4.
Different build focus on different core attributes or a mix of the three or mix of two:
Red = Damage dealer (DPS) builds
Blue = Tanks/Support
Yellow = Tech/Support

What I mean by keeping the different cores, basically, you want high attribute scores (percentages %) on your gear.
You should "prioritize" gear pieces that roll the same color sub-attributes as your main attribute. Red + red / blue + blue / yellow + yellow etc.

For RED/DPS builds you want weapon damage, crit chance and crit damage most often. Sometimes maybe you'll want a blue core attribute for extra armour instead. (see your build online for reference)
For Blue, you want armor, armor regen, hazard protection etc. etc. (again see your template build for reference)

For Yellow builds you get to pick stuff, you want skill tier as your core attribute obviously and then comes the fun part:
If you're running skills that are effects like a fire turret you want status % (read up on how skill damage and status affects skills, just reference your template build to make sure)
if you're running skills that shoot or explode (turret/drone/bomb skills etc.) you want skill DAMAGE %

As your second attribute for tech items/builds you most likely want skill haste. Some builds use set pieces that give you a ton of skill haste or duration, so adjust accordingly. If you have high haste from your build/talents you might want to take skill duration instead.

If you're running a support build ( the "healer" basically, or "fixer" as people call em) you want skill repair.

Last thing regarding recalibration and optimization:
-You can recalibrate 1 attribute on your gear, this can also be the talent.
-You can optimize ALL attributes on your gear.

THE IMPORTANT PART: Once you OPTIMIZE an attribute, you will NOT BE ABLE TO RECALIBRATE the item any longer. So recalibrate an attribute first, then optimize the item.

This is coming from my own experience as a new (Returning) player to the game, please, any veterans tear this infodump apart and let me know if there's any mistakes.

[crude falcon]

does moving/standing affect the accuracy ?

i guess it is but not so sure about it

[inner tendon]

Accuracy is an actual named stat in div2, it's important to remember that when someone is mentioning the words "accuracy", or "stability", they mean the actual stat, and not just "how well a gun shoots".

[nimble spruce]

yes, accuracy decreases dramatically if you move while shooting

[crude falcon]

yes i aware there is accuracy/stability difference

[inner tendon]

just so it's 100% clear:
Accuracy is when your reticule blooms out as you shoot, Stability is vertical kick.

[crude falcon]

just standing is enough to not getting penalty on accuracy ?

[crude falcon]

yes, i do aware it but thank for the information

i notice some AR has big diff on accuracy (like the AUG vs FAL where AUG has big bloom)

[nimble spruce]

you get a smallish buff when in cover, but just standing isn't too bad

[crude falcon]

good to know

[inner tendon]

Taking a second between shots is the best way you can fix it, but also make sure you are within the Optimal Range of the gun at least.

you can see the full list of those in the spreadsheet over in #td2-build-advice

[crude falcon]

gonna check it.

[inner tendon]

Oh that sheet' also has builds, all of which are Heroic+ level.

[marsh tundra]

being in cover is best, standing is OK, moving is the worst but needed a lot of the time, notice there are some buff that apply in thoses case, like braced for example

[crude falcon]

got it chief

[inner tendon]

I can not stress enough the benefit that being close enough to the enemy will give to your overall DPS.

[elfin storm]

Sorry if this is the wrong channel. I'm a brand new player to Division 2 (haven't played 1 either). Ran through the campaign, lots of side stuff and now at the max level stage and doing the watch.

I'd like to start focusing on finding builds, before I move on to the DLCs. What activity is best for this? Especially with getting exotics.

Mainly a solo PC player, though I do have a friend I play with at times.

[weak finch]

Find a build you like and start grinding it in Challenging Countdown, its always done in a group of 8 people tons of loot

[elfin storm]

Does this activity matchmake pretty well?

[weak finch]

yes

[elfin storm]

Sweet. Thank you for the advice. I'll take a look into that now. I've definitely over speced into armour (1.7mil) but I'll probably loose that with a good armour set build. Looking at a sniper related one (think it's called hotshot)

[nimble spruce]

check the pinned spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice, there's a collection of good build guides there

[marsh tundra]

run challenging, don't use skills, follow the team, shoot stuff, and you'll be fine in countdown

[elfin storm]

Could I use shield? Anything that can't be hacked.

[nimble spruce]

shield is fine, it's only hostile longer-lasting damaging deployables like turret, drone, stinger hive that are a problem

[elfin storm]

Thank you. Appreciate the advice.

[tardy vapor]

I most likely know the answer but is there gonna be stretch goals this season?

[nimble spruce]

not confirmed but very likely I'd guess

[eternal edge]

any tips on effectively using seeker mines? the enemies just seem to dodge roll out of the way lol

[elfin storm]

Appeared to be simple enough. Didn't get many kills, but got through without dying haha. No exotics but a ton of loot.

At the very least helped towards my library at the tinker station.

[edgy moth]

maybe a silly question. but whats thee diifference between 'rifles' and 'assault rifles'? DMG, fire rate.. mag all look similar.

[marsh tundra]

rifle shoot way slower, have better damage per bullet, and few different talents are aviable

think of rifles as a midway between ar and snipers

[edgy moth]

aah ok. Yeah I'm window shopping guns. Was hoping to find something between a SRS and a SVD but is part of the fun.

[marsh tundra]

there is many guns aviable, for all tastes, sadly not all are viable

[edgy moth]

yeah, understand that. Got the pestilence as a main. Was running a bullpup SRS for my 'backup'.. you know, that one guy who just hides just out of your optimal or pokes cover like mad. Just find the 70 rpm a bit 'slow' and the full auto of the SVD annoying. oops you held your trigger for .3 of a second too long.

[marsh tundra]

yeah svd are not good right now, rifles are overall better at their job

the meta snipers are usually the oneshot build with determined

[edgy moth]

Yeah. I am not skilled enough for a sniper (is why LMG.. accuracy via volume). I'll try rifles and see if there's any I like.

[marsh tundra]

if you like shooting stuff endlessly, allow me to introduce you to your fav next gun : bullet king

[edgy moth]

heh. I got pestilince and bluescreen. both are fun

don't have bullet king yet. Love the accuracy of bluescreen, and the 'damage build up' of pestilence.

[marsh tundra]

most exotics are fun, not all are viable sadly, but bk is my fav cause i am like u, i like the endless stream of bullets

[edgy moth]

yeah. I'm still under lvl 100 of SHD, so 'plenty of fun' to figure things out.

[marsh tundra]

obv, have fun finding out all that stuff, you got a long journey ahead

[weak finch]

The guy already has two of the top 3 LMGs and agent here recommending bullet king

[vague marsh]

So when it comes to builds in this game. Are there meta builds that are far superior than others than make other gears completely useless?

Do every gear set offer their own playable role or are there some no one bothers with?

[shadow isle]

generally yes there are meta builds, I think there are links to googledocs or something in the #td2-build-advice channel, so ask about meta things there.
As to your other question about gearsets and roles, that's really up to you. There are gearsets that on paper appear to be for specific roles but there's enough gear diversity that you can customize and experiment.

For example, I sometimes run this loadout in missions (including legendary) and countdown

Catharsis mask
Belstone backpack with Galvanize talent
rest Ongoing Directive
revive hive skill
scanner pulse skill

Bluescreen exotic lmg as primary
Socomm mk16 as secondary

The Bluescreen status effects triggers the Galvanize talent.
When I have max Bluescreen stacks I use the scanner pulse skill which triggers the Bluescreen status effects, which then triggers Galvanize.

The net result is that I'm getting and giving bonus armor to the team nearly constantly.

Ongoing Directive is not a tank or bonus armor gearset, so this is an example of crafting your own variation

[vague marsh]

So that's an example of a support healer?

I never heard of galvanized but I see how pulse does this. You use the pulse disrupt ability

[shadow isle]

I don't know what it should be called....it does 2 things for the group/team: bonus armor and hollow point rounds.
As for myself the Catharsis gives me some dmg along with the hollow point rounds.
I guess it would be called bonus armor hybrid.

Galvanized talent gives you and allies bonus armor for each enemy under specific status effects (ensnare, shock, some other ones I forget...you can look up the talent in the game), and the enemy is within 10 m or something of you or an ally.
It's a very useful backpack talent.
There's a perfect version of it that is better but I'm using Belstone as a preference, technically the perfect version of the talent should be used but it doesn't matter that much

[real zodiac]

any tip of descent ? cant pass loop 6 and mostly getting destroyed on the first room of the loop where it is small area with not many safe cover

[vague marsh]

someone reccomended me to change my global activity to a higher difficult. is it because of the loot? should I even care about that if I can get loot in countdown?

[wispy merlin]

better loot, better xp

[vague marsh]

do you get more xp in higher global activity? the game only says loot

[wispy merlin]

yes, you get more xp

[vague marsh]

howcome the game doesn't explain that?

[real zodiac]

mostly loot drop and u start getting blueprint from challenging or higher control pts

[wispy merlin]

oh boy there's a lot that the game doesn't outright tell you

[vague marsh]

oh dear

[vague marsh]

is there anything I should know?

[wispy merlin]

just keep playing and ask questions as they come

[edgy moth]

heh. Yeah this game is a 'prepare to have google up on a second screen' type game at times :D

[inner tendon]

It's honestly mostly just a matter of "read the spreadsheet".

Anything that the spreadsheet doesn't have, can be answered in 3 seconds by the folks in here, and #td2-build-advice

[real zodiac]

NPC stuck here not moving

[inner tendon]

stage fright.

[real zodiac]

not working

[inner tendon]

They're friendly NPC's, of course that won't work.

Travel somewhere else and back, usually fixes it for me.

and/or change the map to a different area.

[real zodiac]

they captured the control pt after i tele away

for retailiation, mroe people = harder difficulty = more chance on KS ?

[dense whale]

the heck

[dense whale]

nah
Kill squad spawn is random

[obsidian ibex]

Good news: Finally reached lvl 30
Bad news: I can't get gunner, I have to pick between the OG specializations

Which one should I pick first?

[inner tendon]

Any, you're going to be maxing out all 6 anyway.

the Spec Trees are more about the bonus that each tree gives, more-so than the special weapon.

[obsidian ibex]

Ahh I see I see

That said how do I unlock the other 3?

'Cus firewall, gunner, and technician are locked

[inner tendon]

To unlock the other 3, you'll need to complete "field research", which are little objectives.
If you buy the Year 1 Pass, you instantly unlock them, but get other mostly cosmetic bonuses from doing said objectives.

[obsidian ibex]

I see I see

Whelp I accidentally picked survivalist lmfao

Oh wait I can activate all 3 of them I think lol

[inner tendon]

yeah basically you can swap and change, but having one active means you'll earn points for it.
up to a max of 165 for each.

to get points in it, just level up, do certain bounties that list it as a reward, projects, the invaded missions, etc.
Don't worry too much right now, Lvl 40 is the hard cap so you've got a ways to go yet.

[bold tiger]

if you got warlords of new york you'll practically speed through 31-39 there, probably will have to do a few extra activites to get to 40 to complete that campaign though

[bold tiger]

retaliation meter don't count in summit does it?

[inner tendon]

I think any fights against a specific faction should count, since missions do count.
I'd be interested to know though. Maybe you only get kill agitation.

[bold tiger]

maybe it does since i do believe we get agitation per kill

[inner tendon]

You do!

Although I doubt it's per-encounter, which would be neat. Just a way to get random points in the list.

[bold tiger]

pretty much getting rikers and cleaners in there mostly i think

Pretty much if you get tired of control points, activities, missions and steongholds

i'd probably welcome a rogue agent retaliation 🤔

[ivory knot]

I have a stupid question... this is my second season, and the first one I've started from day 1... What should I be doing if I've completed the season pass? Is there a point to doing specific missions for season exp now, since there are no stretchgoals as of yet?

[ivory knot]

Also, how do you guys get all the weapon attachment blueprints? I don't seem to be getting any, only regular item blueprints for some odd reason.

[wispy merlin]

as long as you keep getting blueprints, just keep farming control points

the pool keeps shrinking until you've gotten all of them so eventually you will get the ones you want, but you want all of them anyway, so until you do you're not done

[ivory knot]

darn rng, keeping me from unleashing my full vector .45 power

[spare condor]

I have a question guys, how are is it to get BH (Big Horn) in Summit? And how can I find people who actually want to farm it for a few hours?

(Like what is the drop rate for it? Isn't it like 0.5%dr ~ 5.0%dr?)

Also, can someone explain how Overdogs work?

I don't quite understand it.

[inner tendon]

Bighorn is a bit of a weird one, because ignoring the low drop rate, it only every drops from Named Enemies in Legendary difficulty.
So most of the kills you get won't even give you a chance to drop it.

[spare condor]

Ahhh, okay. Thank you for that information.

Besides DZ, what are some other ways to get BH?

[inner tendon]

Legendary Named Enemies, the DZ (which has a locked drop chance of 0.024%, with no way to buff it).
That's it.

for the DZ, same goes for the Eagle Bearer, and Ravenous.

[spare condor]

Damn... Alright, so DZ is a no go for me then.

[inner tendon]

Yeah think of them dropping in the DZ as more of a nice surprise.
and even if you to drop it in there, you have to extract it.

[spare condor]

Yeah... Alright, Noted.

[inner tendon]

Your best bet to farm Legendary for it will be to hop over to #lfg-pc and find a pre-made team.

[spare condor]

Okay, Thank You. I appreciate it Rivens!

[opal flame]

I don’t like dz neither

[spare condor]

lol, yeah. Bad experience like everyone ever. But on playstation.

[opal flame]

For BH you can try summit or cd (count down)

[opal flame]

Every time I enter dz I got snipert

[spare condor]

You can get it in cd?!

[opal flame]

Not sure but if you put it as target loot you might be lucky. When you have enough currency to buy the exotic cashes maybe it drops

[spare condor]

You can get it from the exotic cashes?!

[inner tendon]

Bighorn does not drop in Countdown.

[spare condor]

Damn, okay.

[inner tendon]

And it does not work for Targeted Loot.

[inner tendon]

That's the all of it for BH drop locations.

[opal flame]

It was given a try, that’s why I said I was not sure

[inner tendon]

It's best not to guess when it comes to div2, this game is a complex beast.

[opal flame]

True

[worldly fjord]

No you can't 🤨

[opal flame]

Can try is not the same as can do

[worldly fjord]

Summit legendary yeah, countdown you cant

[inner tendon]

You've been told twice now that it's not possible.
You can also try to run through a brick wall, but it's not going to be particularly effective.

[oblique tree]

Is there any way to predict where a retaliation will happen? They never happen in the same area I'm grinding in, so if I want to retaliate in a certain area, what's the best strategy?

[inner tendon]

No way to choose the area, you only get to choose what map they happen on.

The devs have said that since it's a permanent gamemode, changes will be made over time.

#1380126780152614944 is the place to go to suggest different stuff like that.

[opal flame]

And I answered Twice that I didn’t know for sure.. brickwall sounds the same as reading a book closed

[ivory knot]

Is there a downside/upside of just having shared blueprints/materials across all characters? I heard the SHD watch mule thing was changed when brooklyn came out with the lvl 40 boost

[nimble spruce]

Upside is that you don't have to grind all that stuff again on secondary characters, downside (for mats anyway) is you can't go over max

[bold tiger]

i imagine you can, just takes too much time to gather all the different mats that it wouldn't be worth doing

[worldly fjord]

If you're not sure then don't answer, yeah?

[opal flame]

Why not? Ignore it if you don’t like it

[pseudo tundra]

let's not try give people bad or wrong advice in general

[pliant sluice]

how to get eb? 🤔

[pseudo tundra]

Dark hours raid, and similar to big horn you can also get a very slim chance in DZ

[pliant sluice]

Play on normal or discovery? Unfortunately, I don't have a team to play with.

[green wyvern]

normal

[pseudo tundra]

normal

you can try #lfg-raid-pc or other servers to find people like the division 2 community one

[pliant sluice]

Thanks for the help, but I need a team to help me. No one will respond to mm.

[green wyvern]

another server is gcrock alot are hosted there from what ive seen

[tardy fog]

is there a tldr on what skills to give expertise levels to and which ones not to?

i saw stuff like for healing chem where apparently it gets nerfed instead

[marsh tundra]

you dont lose power byupgrading skills, but some stuff can happen like EP build wont spread fire if your target die too fast so having more damage isnt always best

[green wyvern]

achilles and oxi are the main ones i upgraded more give more damage

[marsh tundra]

i upgraded all skills tbh, i dont see the point of not having them high lvl

[obsidian ibex]

Just reached lvl 35 (and then 36), kinda need help rn since I'm overwhelmed with the whole black tusk thing

[idle cedar]

hi there, does anyone know when the next xp event is? cant seem to find this info anywhere, thank you

[void swan]

Does anybody know when the tinkerer mission will be back up?

[green wyvern]

sep 23rd when they fix the bug that was giving people the tempest

[pine magnet]

27 11 2025 XPx5

[void swan]

@green wyvern thank you I'm trying to do a build around it

[floral holly]

Peeps, is Backfire worth it? I mean its crit damage can be amazing but damn, does it melt the shield

[clever fjord]

when you hit max stacks you dont get bled anymore

[floral holly]

I see, thanks for the info

[wind jungle]

I maxed out my season pass for the first time but I dont see the looping rewards (101 - 110), do those unlock later in the season or am I missing something?

[vague marsh]

Is there a limit to how much stats you have? like a stats cap?

[nocturne siren]

Depends

[nocturne siren]

You're talking about stretch goals. Those don't come until the last 2 weeks of the season. Will see you in 10 weeks during the next stretch event, Agent

[wind jungle]

I see I see

Was hoping my assumption would be wrong but thank you for answering

[nocturne siren]

I'm happy they're over, farming strongholds got old fast 😂

Fingers crossed the drop chances are better this season 🤞

[vague marsh]

can enemies capture control points? is there a way to stop them from taking over?

[green wyvern]

Yes they can attack it best way to get them to stop is to kill them

[obsidian ibex]

What should I do gang 😭

[green wyvern]

Just have fun as you finish leveling any build you have will be fine and anything you get will quickly get outleveled

[elfin storm]

I really enjoy marksman rifles, does anyone have any recommendations for some good ones to target?

[green wyvern]

Model 700 and nemesis are the main ones I use if I use a mmr white death and shroud are also good

[elfin storm]

Thank you. I'll look them up and how best to acquire them. Appreciate it.

[green wyvern]

Best way for all but nemesis and shroud are countdown nemesis is a quest and shroud is from the current season track

[elfin storm]

Ah sweet. I've been doing that, and been helping to fill my library for the tinker station.

[vague marsh]

But how would I know when they're attacking?

[green wyvern]

Red gun symbol going to a control point might be one of yours or one of a different faction

[worldly fjord]

Red is always hostile. Friendly attack party is green

[green wyvern]

yep

[pseudo tundra]

that is an event devs started doing at the end of the season

[odd condor]

Control point attack parties usually only spawn to attack friendly control points in Black Tusk invaded zones. Clearing the invaded zones by completing invaded missions and the stronghold usually stops the spawns until the next weekly reset and set of new invaded zones

[vague marsh]

what do you mean?

[pseudo tundra]

crit chance has a hard cap

others not so much, or more because you cant get that stat outside of very few sources

[nocturne siren]

It depends on the stat. Crit chance cap is 60%, bleed resistance is like 91-97%. And so on. It depends what stat you're talking about

[vague marsh]

okay so where can I see the caps for all stats so I know I don't waste stats or mods?

[ivory sundial]

is there a way to enable semi auto for rifles?

[slim elk]

some of them are semi but not all

[marsh tundra]

there is a stat tab on your inventory with everything listed, if its not crit chance, its not capped

for specific resistance, most of them are around 90/95% cause they then last so little time they dont even proc, so you dont need to hit 100% rez, thats just a minor thing

[idle cedar]

Tysm

[vague marsh]

Do we have one strap backpacks?

[nocturne siren]

Yes

[vague marsh]

What do you mean?

so it's really just a chest piece apparel?

can I find any to look at cause im still confused

[pearl pasture]

#divashion message

Hawkster made this recently, think there are a few additions but all of these will work

[vague marsh]

is there a setting in the game that makes audio more quiet?

cause I feel like the game isn't loud enough

[calm rivet]

Guys the corporative skin can be equiped on lexington??

Who own the skin can confirm it to me plz?

[odd condor]

No

[inner tendon]

Only skins that work on the Lex are the Veteran Rewards.

[spare basalt]

Probably a weird question but started playing 2 days ago and genuinely enjoying the game but somewhere in the back of my head I keep thinking that I'm wasting time playing so late because i've missed so many seasons etc, do they remove previous seasons content?

[inner tendon]

Nah, any Season finale can still be played, and all game-modes are left in.
so far we have Summit, Countdown, Retaliation. All are permanent.

The only thing you lose each Season is the ability to play the Modifiers, and access to that particular Season Pass, which is just cosmetic stuff anyway.

[spare basalt]

That's actually great! Maybe I worry too much

I did play about 12 hours in 2020 but don't remember anything so started a new character

But maybeeeee I shouldn't worry about missed content then and just enjoy the game

[inner tendon]

Yeah div2 is an incredibly long game, you are meant to take years to do everything.
Don't worry about missing out, starting today will be just as good as starting years ago, and honestly? In a lot of cases it's better to start now.

[minor ferry]

Can I reset Control points only in NY open world? and keep them friendly in DC?

[inner tendon]

Yeah it should only reset for that particular map.

[soft portal]

How do I get my modifiers I did the journey2 mission but when I goto equip them they're not there

[spare basalt]

Thanks again!Hopefully i'll stick with the game this time

[soft portal]

?

@inner tendon so I just did the journey 2 how do I get my modifiers they're not showing in the place where you activate em

[wispy merlin]

a normal person would say this, yes

[left ravine]

This is Division 2, not Destiny 2

[calm rivet]

Tysm i almost bought it

[spare basalt]

😂 And that's a good thing

[left ravine]

It is

[ivory sundial]

is the tinkerer mask in targeted loot now or does it still need to be earned a certain way?

[inner tendon]

Still locked to the Manager Mission, which is being reenabled on the 23rd.

If you want a guaranteed drop, run it for the first time on a character at Master difficulty.

[ivory sundial]

cool thx

[calm herald]

Did you claim them?

[obsidian ibex]

Am I able to get the Bluescreen in the main game or do I need a DLC like WoNY to get it?

[calm herald]

You should be able to get it in the general loot pool

[obsidian ibex]

Nice nice I need it for ongoing directive lol

And probably scorpio too?

[calm herald]

Mmhm scorpio too

[obsidian ibex]

Nice nice

[edgy moth]

if one was gonna run to hope to get contractors, would it better to target petrov's or just gloves in general?

[mellow trout]

Always brand unless going for an exotic

[tardy fog]

anyone else's 3x xp boost not working?

i did a control point that says rewards gives 722550 xp and it gave me exactly that rather than the 3x boosted amount

[wispy merlin]

did you already hit cap?

[tardy fog]

wait theres a cap?

[wispy merlin]

1000 lv

[tardy fog]

oh i did rip i didnt know

[obsidian ibex]

Best way to earn specialization points? The only ones I discovered so far are leveling up, bounties, and the invasion missions when you first complete them

[tardy fog]

i dont remember correct me if im wrong i think control points gives 1 specialization points per capture, i finished all my specialization while xp farming control points

[obsidian ibex]

Really? I assume that the farming part is because BT keeps recapturing them?

[rugged stratus]

you can reset control points and farm them again for xp

[obsidian ibex]

Wth how?

[rugged stratus]

its in the global options where you select difficulty and directives

[obsidian ibex]

Ohh

So if I complete them on normal I can ascend in difficulty to reset them

[real zodiac]

u can reset anytime u want no matter the difficulty or whether it is completed

[obsidian ibex]

Ohhh cool

[tardy fog]

with 3xp you should be getting at least 1 level per capture so it should give you like 4 specialization points per capture

[rugged stratus]

they will match your world difficulty. if you run a lower difficulty some of the activities will have a red line going back to a cp and itll increase its alert level

[obsidian ibex]

Noted noted

[rugged stratus]

i suggest minimum challenging tho (alert level 3) because youll also get blueprints while running control points

[obsidian ibex]

I see I see, though atp I'm still not lvl 40 so leveling up is still first priority lol

Very close though, around 38

[real zodiac]

if u arent lv40 u dont need to bother about any of those, just keep pushing story

[rugged stratus]

you can also earn spec points from your projects , invaded missions, and daily/weekly bounties

[real zodiac]

how long does server restarting take

[rugged stratus]

it should show in the rewards

if its on the bottom of your screen its a visual bug, ignore

[inner tendon]

^#server-status will have the details if there's any downtime.

[tardy fog]

make sure you finish story at least base game i remember trying to farm control points early and even if you do challenging or above in terms of global difficulty the control points would be stuck at a lower level

[real zodiac]

game says server restarting got force out of the game and now cannot reconnect

[slim elk]

wait a minute or two

[real zodiac]

needs to finish captioal at least, otherwise control pt will stay story mode

[obsidian ibex]

The hell do I do with these?

Ik I'm probably gonna get my hands on some good stuff but what do I need to do?

[ivory sundial]

the smg goes to the chatterbox exotic, the pistol goes to the liberty exotic, the project is for the dodge city holster, id suggest you find video guides to obtain the rest of the parts and get these exotics

[obsidian ibex]

Noted noted thanks

[spare girder]

I had completed the WONY dlc and it gave me all the materials for the dodge city holster

I'm not joking it came with all the mats required

[ivory sundial]

well I did the project, afaik he has to do it since he has it

[celest spindle]

hey folks! how do I tell when I'm stacked on Memento?

[bold tiger]

colored in of that grey icon is the short term buff, what you have is the 30 stacks of the long term buff

[celest spindle]

so the large icon is short term? and the bar is long?

[bold tiger]

the arm icon is your long term buff, think armor regen, weapon damage and skill efficiency? that line to the left of the arm will fill to the right. as long as you pick up a trophy before that fills all the way to the right you'll continue to keep the long term buffs
colored in i meant how your other 2 are orange, you'll see when you pick up a trophy the grey icon will present an orange colored one that'll disappear faster since that'd be the short term buff

[ivory knot]

Is this normal?

Why does it not have a third attribute

[nocturne siren]

UHHHHH wtf 💀

Where'd you even acquire that

[ivory knot]

No idea

I just got it recently I think, unless its one of the weapons I was cleaning out of my dusty, old stash

[pearl pasture]

Did you do a 40 character boost or anything? THAT is very odd

[ivory knot]

You'd think old weapons would get updated when updates come out right?

[ivory knot]

I mean, I did, but this is on a non-boosted character

[pearl pasture]

Either way, i'd keep that for the sake of it... kinda unique i guess lol

[ivory knot]

Yeah, that's what I'll do

does anyone have a ctar-21 to compare with? It's my only one haha

I thought maybe it's normal for this weapon or something 😂

[pearl pasture]

Not got one or on the game atm but they are for sure meant to roll a 3rd attribute at high end

Only purples roll 2 and no talent iirc

[obsidian ibex]

Just reached lvl 40 a few hours ago, is this loadout enough for Tidal Basin?

Also how do I use these gear mods lol

[nimble spruce]

On story difficulty you'll be fine
To apply gear mods, highlight the piece you want to mod (mask, chest or backpack), and tap f

[marsh tundra]

does dz kills/poi fills the retal meter ?

[inner tendon]

Technically any kill against the specific faction adds to it, but not all encounters will.
e.g. you get Outcast Retal meter points for Outcast kills in Summit, but not for finishing a Floor.
all this is subject to change of course, it is a brand new mode.

[nocturne siren]

Haven't spent much time in DZ lately and haven't noticed any, if at all, retaliation meters filling up. Going to assume the answer is "possibly", but I doubt it counts towards retaliation

[inner tendon]

Kills for Retal are absolutely bugger all anyway, so even if they didn't count in the DZ, you likely wouldn't notice.

seriously: just go quick missions or Bounties. If you really want to farm one fast: Lincoln Heroic gets you most of the way to full, and takes what, 6 minutes?

[marsh tundra]

yeah but i want retal for outcast and hyenas

[nocturne siren]

Exactly that, correct. I farm cleaners frequently for reconstructed caches. There's the one Hospital mission in Brooklyn that can clear stupidly quick

[marsh tundra]

and im bored doing their mission tbh

[nocturne siren]

Yeah just do bounties at that rate

[inner tendon]

There's a lot of factions missions.
You know, if you want to combo stuff, wait until next week when the x3 Season Pass XP is active, and run Strongholds for Prios.

[vague marsh]

so when it comes to mods. should I keep the purple ones? I notice some have better stats than the high ends

[wraith ridge]

if i want to farm the catalyst mask for my friend who hasnt gotten it yet, can we only do it from Army terminal or does it work for countdown, exotic caches etc?

[vague marsh]

Whats the difference?

[marsh tundra]

none anymore iirc

[pseudo tundra]

army terminal or brooklyn open world bosses still

[dense whale]

finally got emperor guard blueprint

[vague marsh]

How rare is it to get st. elmo rifle? I heard I should farm using countdown but I honestly haven't seen any exotic. are they very rare?

[marsh tundra]

they arent rare, just put ar on target loot in cd and run it a few times

[vague marsh]

got it lmao

I decided to run it on heroic instead of challenging

[slim elk]

Heroic CD = waste of time and effort

[marsh tundra]

dont, especially if you aint expert, challenging is way better and faster

[vague marsh]

tbh I think this was easier and faster than challenging oddly enough

cause probably there's better players doing heroic than challenging. I failed a challenging 2 games ago

[worldly fjord]

When the game first came out there used to be a difference but now they're both the same

[vague marsh]

I also didn't die doing heroic too. idk I saw the health sponge but we took it down well in doing it

[pseudo tundra]

Also buy exotic caches from countdown credits

[vague marsh]

I did and got other geare

also anyone on pc know how to stop the division from making my other 3 monitors have low fps?

[candid verge]

did you try google "division 2 monitor low fps"?

[vague marsh]

I tried and other methods like low fps when unfocused and no one has anything on a fix

it's so damn annoying since I like playing in borderless windowed

[candid verge]

there is a youtube video, you can check that "[2025] The Division 2 - Best PC Settings to Boost FPS & Visibility" 🤔

[vague marsh]

okay so to explain. when I tab out. the game drops fps since it's not focused and the other 3 monitors are tied to that fps drop. almost like the game is making it hard for me to do something tabbed out unless the game is minimized

maybe that will help you get an idea of what im talking about now

[candid verge]

I get that, I play fullscreen and when I tab out (youtube, discord, etc.) the FPS drops, but then I obviously not playing, the other monitor is just fine

[rugged stratus]

Almost like the game wants you playing and not tabbing out

[vague marsh]

yeah so far the only solution is fullscreen so the game can minimize but in borderless I like it when the game stays on the screen. but it seems to affect my 2 other monitors

[candid verge]

I don't have to tab out, just go to the menu and move the mouse to the other screen, so Div2 stays on monitor 1 and I can use the other one 🤷‍♂️

[vague marsh]

my fps would still drop on my other monitors when it's on screen

imma try to change to dx11

[candid verge]

and what's the impact, what do you need the FPS for on other monitors? 🤔

[rugged stratus]

Only ever had div2 drop fps while tabbed out in bordeless

[vague marsh]

so the game drops the fps to 10fps on every monitor. like they are all synced

[vague marsh]

yeah thats my issue

my other 2 monitors are impacted by that

also for some reason my game keeps opening in windowed mode when I had it in fullscreen before

[candid verge]

most of the time it does the same for me, it rarely stays in fullscreen, so I got use to go to settings first when launch the game and set it to full screen 🤷‍♂️

[candid verge]

🤔

[inner tendon]

Google AI: famously reliable.

don't take my word for it.

[rugged stratus]

D2 fps dropping while not focused is normal.
So on the other monitors is it only d2 experiencing fps drops? Are other applications also being affected?

I tab out a lot myself and never had other apps affected, just d2

[vague marsh]

no other game has ever done this. only this one

okay new topic cause im confused here

I got the st. elmo gun which allows me to get the blueprint from the crafting lady

[ivory sundial]

reconfig?

[vague marsh]

yeah. i'm confused. so what is this and why is there another st. elmo in a different category for exotics alone but I don't have that one?

[ivory sundial]

the reconfig is for re rolling the weapon stats

the other is just plain out crafting the weapon

afaik

[vague marsh]

so instead of tinkering. this is that way of changing the stats for the gun?

[slim elk]

for exotic weapons

[vague marsh]

okay nice. I got a better stat for this one

[slim elk]

all you gotta know is:
Weapons except LMGs need DTOC
LMGs need CHC

[vague marsh]

idk what those mean

[ivory sundial]

DTOC=damage to targets out of cover CHC= crit hit chances

[vague marsh]

oh okay

[ivory sundial]

got a question about the master manhunts, do the exotics only drop on master difficulty or is a random drop for any difficulty?

[bold tiger]

long long long time ago. there used to be places one mod would go in while the other would go into. can't remember the specifics for it

[bold tiger]

normal to heroic has a very small chance of dropping the exotic in that mission wanna say 10% max, where as a 100% drop for fresh master difficulty run

[ivory sundial]

awesome ty

[obsidian ibex]

Is there a special obtainment method for the iron lung or is it in the general loot pool like the other exotics?

[green wyvern]

its in general loot pool

[obsidian ibex]

Nice

[bold tiger]

so basically live in an area/mission or summit/countdown with LMG target loot until you get it

[torn cape]

What is the easiest/safest way to break a tanks armor without killing him?

[nimble spruce]

if you find a suitable lone BT tank then you can keep breaking their ammo belt to disable them while you use a low-powered weapon to pick off their legs, arms, helmet and torso armor one piece at a time. Leave the backpack and it will heal them if you miss a shot and hit their body

[torn cape]

There is one at white oak i think

I'll try that method and hope for the best

[vague marsh]

Whats the difference between a named item and a high-end? I've seen some named that I avoid and rather have a high-end

[bold tiger]

some named items will have a very specific attribute tied to it sometimes higher than we can get
for instance the Picaro's Holster from Arca Buz Debrazo's has a 10% weapon damage core as the 2nd stat that can't be recalibrated or optimized. we used to have it with 15% but devs dropped it to 10%

[vague marsh]

ah. tbh named items are confusing since this is the only game that has this special tier of a high-end. cause it is a high-end branded gear. it's just "special"

at one point I was confused with exotics and named a long time ago when I played td1

[bold tiger]

take Grease named knees from Shiny monkey has a much higher status effect added to it

[vague marsh]

so basically it's a stat that is static. everytime you get grease it will always be that

[bold tiger]

yes, so other named items will have the same thing in them. lexington being the only exception that comes to my mind

[vague marsh]

I have 3 of those btw LOL

so this i what I wanna know. can a shiny monkey gear be better than the named one?

is it impossible to roll the same thing?

[bold tiger]

not really. considering i think 10% is the max on status effects we can add to our gear where Grease is 16%

and if you're thinking i'll change the 3rd stat to status effects to further how much i can put on it. because you already got status effect on it, the game won't let you add more

[vague marsh]

Ah I see. so the stat is something the other original gear cannot get

[pseudo tundra]

yeah it's one unique stats

[vague marsh]

what about this. holster one you said

[pseudo tundra]

can be either talent or special roll

[vague marsh]

I don't have one to see it myself

got this from reddit

okay so for this one. it's not a core attribute? thats neat

[bold tiger]

in #td2-build-advice there's a pin to a spreadsheet with all the weapons and gears we can get in the game currently

[bold tiger]

it's actaully considered a core attribue, so you can only put armor or skill tier on the holster

[pseudo tundra]

cant double dip on damage

but lets you have something else AND damage

well a bit cause it got nerfed to 10%

[vague marsh]

that's what I assumed. but thats still cool since you can use armor or skill for the core attribute

[pseudo tundra]

there are couple of oddball

[vague marsh]

and yeah I can see how that could get op

[pseudo tundra]

mop shotgun that armor on kill

TDI kard pistol that gives you +1 skill tier when holding it

[bold tiger]

then ou add preservation on that shotgun = a lot more armor on kill XD

[pseudo tundra]

but most tend to be just an above avarage than abnormal roll

[vague marsh]

so in most high tier builds. is there always a named gear with the exotic and the gear set?

or do some people avoid named gears if they have a high end they prefer

[pseudo tundra]

it's a lot of mix and match to fit an specific purpose

well named are also brand specific, so people might keep something related to snipers over a named glove that buffs LMG

[bold tiger]

i'd have to log in and check my eclipse protocol build, but i feel i'm using grease knees in it

[vague marsh]

man I can see how this games build crafting can be so confusing

only now im just running a striker build but to have to get used to this will take time for me to know what each gear has once I collect them

[bold tiger]

i think it's more of a make sure you're reading the talents/gears correctly before making a build out of it

for instance i misunderstood how memento exotic backpack works but after toying with one of localdeck's build i finall understand how it works and have it in a build where i'm trying to hit 6 skill tiers with as much weapon cores as possible, but the game is a bully in giving my my last 2 pieces

[vague marsh]

to me it's about memory. I have to know what each of gear sets to. what they're made for and also know the named items and their purpose. do I want dps, skill or tank. etc.

and there's a ton of gear to use. meanwhile in destiny you really just need the same gear with high stats and 1 exotic and thats it.

people that love build crafting would love this game

What about names weapons?

[slim elk]

not all Named items are great

[vague marsh]

do they just have static talents?

[bold tiger]

birdshot gave you 2 examples here #ask-td2-community message

[slim elk]

just a few and even so, their non-named counterparts are better

[slim elk]

not all of them

[pseudo tundra]

most named chest and backpack tend to be specific talents

[vague marsh]

oh god wait what?

[pseudo tundra]

gloves and others tend to be stats

[bold tiger]

IE: there's a named magum Prophet i want to say? ahs perfect determined talent on it which you get 1 shot to the body doing headshot damage and crit damage. the normal talent 1 headshot and the rest body shots you keep determined talent going

[vague marsh]

yeah i've been using it for awhile actually

I see how this works. the gold text on the gun shows the stat or talent that is static. that way it's easy for me to find it

I got this named items with 3 maxed stats. 1 of them being the static

i've been using this till I get my coyote exotic because of the max stats

[bold tiger]

if you can stomach it. running descent back to back to hopefully obtain some named items blueprints (there's quite a bit of them, 100's+) you can just craft them up, but they nicely put a blueprint tied to using Retaliation materials to make the caches we'd be running descent for

[slim elk]

Punch Drunk, mainly used in pistol builds

[real zodiac]

whats so special about raid and at what point i should focus on that?

[vague marsh]

is that where I can get the blueprints?

[bold tiger]

nods i got punch drunk, chain killer, claws out with 3 Imminence pieces for my pistol build along with using Harvest pistol with determined

[slim elk]

raid exclusives, that's it ; there's no "at what point"

[real zodiac]

exclusive good to get or what?

[bold tiger]

think descent has what a 50% chance on getting the reconstructed caches when you beat the nemesis? then you spend some of the descent currency to buy the caches outside of the enterances

[bold tiger]

exclusives = only drops there like the climax mission exotics. with stretch goals increasing the number of stuff you can get at an ever lower percentage of getting them

[slim elk]

They're not hard to get if you find a good team/carry. There are servers like GCrock that have teaching-raid communities

[vague marsh]

do you get better rewards doing heroic countdown?

[slim elk]

nah

[vague marsh]

ah. I guess I got lucky lmao

[bold tiger]

just more currency

[slim elk]

like 20 more

[vague marsh]

so why do people do challenging?

[slim elk]

easy, fast and simple

[bold tiger]

the time it takes to complete it compared to doing heroic

[vague marsh]

so why not the lowest difficulty?

[bold tiger]

with a change they made a long while ago. normal was made for people to solo it, hard was something like 1-4 people, challenging 8 people and heroic was supposed to be for maxed and fully optimized builds to run it kind of deal

[vague marsh]

but rewards based?

[slim elk]

All Countdown loot is Heroic tier

[real zodiac]

difficulty in countdown dont affect drop rate??

[vague marsh]

are they all 8 players?

or is there play restriction?

[slim elk]

yes

[real zodiac]

then why not do low difficult and people can complete two objectives at once?

[vague marsh]

THEN WHY AM I TOLD TO DO IT IN CHALLENGING

[vague marsh]

thats because of loot pickup. would suck having to run back and forth doing it

[slim elk]

There are very few groups of people who are in sync that much that they can do that on Heroic. But since it is majorly matchmade then that sync is pretty much pure luck.

[slim elk]

xp, reliability...? idk

[vague marsh]

BRUH

[real zodiac]

so what's the pt of difficulty if the drop rates are the same?

[vague marsh]

I already asked that lol

[real zodiac]

8 man go in normal ungabunga and farm rest of the time in final area

[vague marsh]

that shit would be such a speedrun. destiny players would abuse the shit out of that

[green wyvern]

im pretty sure its more ads on challenging/heroic and so more drops

[real zodiac]

even though i been playing heroic with randos without any issue but this thing is still weird me out

[vague marsh]

tbh I just tried matchmaking on normal. it's not finding anything

[slim elk]

and a higher but easier to get number of extraction req

[real zodiac]

ads?

[green wyvern]

enemies

[vague marsh]

mobs

[real zodiac]

ok that make sense

[slim elk]

because Normal and Hard are dead

[vague marsh]

bad guys

[real zodiac]

more enemies more drops

technically "higher" drop rate

[nimble spruce]

Also normal and hard do have worse loot, including purples.

That loading screen message dates from when there was only one difficulty, which was the same as challenging is now

[vague marsh]

is there a gear dye guide or something? I was wondering if there is a olive draft green type of color

[stiff lance]

is there some reason i am only getting chameleons, mantis, pesti and ninjabikes from exotic drops and caches like wtf is this

[bold tiger]

you're lucky? maybe?

[bold tiger]

to me, it sounds like you're getting quite a bit exotic components

[vague marsh]

I think I asked this once but apparently the only stat that is capped is critical chance and it's 60%?

[pseudo tundra]

Yes, that i remember having an actual hard hard cap

[bold tiger]

i imagine a lot of people are missing last seasons modifires?

[inner tendon]

@supple monolith Retaliation is a new free gamemode, it's permanently in the game.

[desert thunder]

Why is it saying that I have two out of 3 that are at max value but my armor has been completed so why is it not showing completed? And no I can't add another armor thing to it as I tried

[real zodiac]

does this say 3rd attribute for scorpio roll for headshot dmg ?

[obsidian ibex]

How do I quit the summit early?

[real zodiac]

i think u gotta die for it, i just leave and it didnt count

[rugged stratus]

summit has checkpoints. you can leave whenever and pickup at the closest checkpoint you have when you log in again

[obsidian ibex]

Nvm I found out, just go to the map and there's a button that lets u return to DC

[rugged stratus]

oh, good deal

[ivory sundial]

is there something wrong with the shd cache in DUMBO thats underground?

[inner tendon]

@thorn sandal There's no channel tagging feature on this server, but it's best to not even try to use it.

[obsidian ibex]

Wait really? I thought this would be the right place to ask but alright

[worldly fjord]

Ninjabike bag exists in both games, but classifieds are only in div1
This is a td2 channel, you're looking for #td1-build-advice

[obsidian ibex]

ohhhh, I meant the TD2 version mb for not clarifying

[worldly fjord]

Welp, classy sets don't exist, so 🤷

[obsidian ibex]

fair point lol, the right term is gear sets right?

[inner tendon]

gear sets exist in both games, just you can't get the Classified version in div2.

[worldly fjord]

Yes. Div2 only has gear sets, division 1 has gear sets and classified sets

[worldly fjord]

Or maybe, way too classified for us to have access 🤔

[inner tendon]

It's true, I have them, but that's because I unlocked the corgi ending.

Ya know, the one where Sokolova turns out to be 3 corgi's in a trench-coat.

@summer canyon knows what I'm talking about.

[worldly fjord]

Teach us your ways 🙏

[blazing timber]

He is AI I am pretty sure he asked ISAC for that

[inner tendon]

Who's he?

[blazing timber]

You

[inner tendon]

My name, my pfp, and my entire vibe wasn't enough of a clue?

I'm going to assume you're making a bad joke and you aren't trying to be a hateful bigot here.

but in the future let's not.

[obsidian ibex]

are the locations for targeted loot the same for everyone or does every player have a different set of target loot?

[worldly fjord]

Does the word "lesbian" not mean anything anymore lol

[inner tendon]

I literally have the lesbian flag in chevrons around my pfp.
Apparently I was being too subtle about it.

[worldly fjord]

Yes its the same for everyone

[blazing timber]

Oh you were talking about that I was only making AI Joke

[inner tendon]

You called me he twice.

I get jokes exist, but when you get it as a death threat at least once every couple of weeks, it loses the shine.

[blazing timber]

"The AI" finally

[inner tendon]

I already said it was fine and to just move on.

[blazing timber]

Anyway when can we play the last manhunt mission

[inner tendon]

8 weeks from now.

[obsidian ibex]

oooh cool

[worldly fjord]

Last one as in the manager? September 23rd so exactly 24 hours and 30 minutes from now

[blazing timber]

Yes Thanks

I will download my game than to clear it to get tinkerer

[worldly kraken]

Is anyone know how i can find Yannick The Beard ?

[bold tiger]

pretty sure there are youtube videos showing how to find him

[rancid dirge]

Expecting a big update tomorrow?

[oak gazelle]

just a minor TU with some fixes

[worldly fjord]

Inside constitution hall area, there's an underground bounty location to the west of the safe house. If you go there you'll find a circle with an X inside. Stand on the X and do the jumping jack emote
(If you're on pc you can type /exercise)

[marsh tundra]

wym ?

[ivory sundial]

theres a shd cache i still want to get in Brooklyn DUMBO thats underground, but everytime i activate the pipe valve it doesnt let my character turn it

[nimble spruce]

There's likely another valve you need to turn first or something similar

[atomic coral]

Yeah theres another one

[marsh tundra]

there are several valve to turn and q button I think

[atomic coral]

For some reason the 2nd valve (the one you're using) is interactable straight away

[ivory sundial]

oh okay ty

[soft portal]

You can't make a new character buy the mats on another char anymore can you?

[inner tendon]

@soft portal You don't get duplicates of your Watch points anymore, no.

[soft portal]

I messed I'm was expertising and held X to give but I gave ALL my mats

Thinking it was only gonna give that specific mats

[inner tendon]

Just run some Countdown and decon' what you don't need to add to your library/donate/keep. You'll get plenty before too long.

If you need Credits, run Priority Objectives with those as a reward, a Stronghold is about 50k via Prios alone.

[soft portal]

The money I'm decent on just the mats to optimise I need lmao I messed up major

[inner tendon]

Yeah mats are very much not hard to get. Even running Retaliation and breaking down the stuff you get will help restock your stores.

#lfg-playstation there's always someone looking for a hand.

[soft portal]

I have 480hrs played and still haven't done a raid aswell but I just can't find team/clan that does em to often

[inner tendon]

The "GCrock discord server" will be your best bet, they regularly run teaching raids/incursions.

just make sure you have a meta DPS setup (strikers is best), and have a general idea of how they work.

[soft portal]

Ah I have 0 idea how it works

[inner tendon]

GL Agent, and break out that mic if you can!

Google.

[soft portal]

My mic broken from playing rainbow xD

[inner tendon]

A mic isn't mandatory, but will make your life a hell of a lot easier.
Just go look up a guide, set up the build, and join that server. You'll be fine.

[soft portal]

Is there link for their discord

[inner tendon]

DM'd it to ya

[fathom flint]

when does the campaign end so that i can start warlords of new york, without "boosting" my character, is it after black tusk's Tidal Basin? i'm like 28 (shd?) watch level right now, also should i clear all the control points before doing tidal basin?

[nimble spruce]

Yes it is after tidal basin, and no there's no particular reason to capture all cps first

[fathom flint]

thanks! i was gonna waste time doing all the control points first otherwise, also is there any requirement for dark zone leveling? i have never played in the dark zone, can i start warlords of new york without ever going to the dark zone? i made a boosted character just to check before and saw that the boosted character had a level 5 dark zone

[bold tiger]

you can do darkzone whenever you want actually, but since you're 40 you'll probably not do much darkzone stuff since there will be people there to farm you

[nimble spruce]

No requirement for dz, doesn't matter if you do it before or after or never.

It's worth doing the dz recon missions though, just to get the gates unlocked and usable as fast travel points

[bold tiger]

true, considering the loot goblin will probably get farmed soon, depending what they have planned for this Vampire thing they got planned

it not halloween then you'll be prepared for christmas time to farm the goblin

[fathom flint]

oh i see, well i'm a little old and pvp frustrates me a lot (on other games), so i was thinking about not doing DZ at all if i had the choice, also what is the DZ recon mission, is it just to unlock the dark zone location? bc it shows as locked for me right now i'm pretty sure (i'm not in game right now but i remember having all three of them locked)

i'm playing both d1 and d2 fully solo, don't have any friends who play any of them tbh

[bold tiger]

the dz recon missions are basically doing stuff near the enterance to unlock them so you get a Big Jurassic Park door icon you'd be able to use to travel to without going into the check points for PVE to DZ room. the south one will be used to forcibly spawn the loot goblin nearby over and over

dunno how many times i had to hunt that guy down and saw a video "do this for loot goblin!" watched it and was like wait a sec. went to try it and most of the time he'll spawn down there and i got all i needed from him

[fathom flint]

oh, what’s a loot goblin now? i’m pretty new in the division community tbh, have owned both the games from a while but never really got the itch before like i did a few weeks ago when i reinstalled the game snd thought about giving it a chance, it finally started giving me the tingling thingy on my monkey brain and i’m addicted now lol!! well tbh i still dk a lot like i don’t understand the thinkering stuff and/or anything about the DZ

thanks for the info on where he spawns tho, i think i’m gonna do a bit more research about the DZ in general

i’m scared to go there alone tho lol

[bold tiger]

loot goblin is an NPC with a huge backpack. you find him and shoot is pack he'll drop his loot or if you can manage you can kill him for the loot as well. he tends to have a few exclusive items that only he'd drop. Chillout Gila mask, Snow machine knees, Oh Carol MMR and others that's not coming to my mind

[nimble spruce]

He only drops the special items when there's some kind of seasonal event on though

[fathom flint]

oh damn, had no idea there were NPCs like that on d2 as well, thanks for info both of you! really appreciate it, still a lot for me to learn tho, still haven’t gotten into the build making yet, waiting to finish the whole campaign and warlords of new york first, although i’m still level 40, am i already in the endgame or is it gonna start after finishing the campaign? because i keep getting loot with stats wayy below what i have equipped currently!!?

[bold tiger]

once you're 40 you're usually in endgame as you can't get higher than that, but if you already got some builds or at least strikers you'll end up plowing through wony compaign as that was the 31-40 grind

[fathom flint]

like i haven’t found anything worth replacing with whatever i have equipped right now, from a few hours now, like at least 6-7 hours? also just so you know i like to take it slow, play tactically, since i’m at like 80 hours in and haven’t finished the campaign yet

[fathom flint]

wdym by wony compaign? i have been level 40 from like 10+ hours now btw, and i have only completed the first stronghold of black tusk

and i’m watch level 28

[bold tiger]

before our seasons. you'd only get to 30 in DC alone, then you'd be forced to goto WONY to get your last 10 levels and not be able to leave that content until you were 40 and finished the last mission

[fathom flint]

ah yeah, i saw on a yt video about that, that people weren’t able to go to the endgame without owning WONY before, but the devs changed it recently

am i already in the endgame, even tho i haven’t finished the campaign or WONY yet? i keep getting low stats loot tho

[nimble spruce]

loot stats depend on difficulty, so if you're on Normal difficulty or similar then the majority of your loot will be terrible (except from field recon caches)

[bold tiger]

yes, level 40 is endgame. probably depends on what difficulty you're playing the missions on. usually they force you to run all of them on story mode to unlock the normal to heroic/master/legendary mission difficulties

[fathom flint]

ah yes, that makes sense now, i’m indeed playing on normal without any modifiers.

well i’m getting terrible loot with those caches you get when you level up as well btw, if those are the “field recon caches”

those caches actually give me more terrible loot then whatever those yellow icon bosses do

[nimble spruce]

best to push on through the remaining story as quickly as possible, since it tends to be stuck on the lowest difficulty for first completion, then you can move up to harder difficulties

[fathom flint]

yeah i think it's time to complete the campaign, thanks to both of you l05t50ul95 and the_kettle for the help! really appreciate the help, thanks a lot!

[obsidian ibex]

How do I do the "kill Ridgeway" part of gunner specialization's 4th mission thing? Like do I have to complete the mission without using plates or kill him without using plates?

[wispy merlin]

the objective says kill him without using armor kits iirc, so from the mission start up to the point of killing him you must not use armor kits

the game tracks it from mission start

[obsidian ibex]

Seriously??? That's insane

[winged trail]

Why can’t I select Manhunt Master at the Potomac Event Center, what’s the reason?

[wispy merlin]

i forgot what minimum difficulty it asks you to do, but you could play on that one just to get it over with

[obsidian ibex]

I think it's normal or above but Imma go with hard just in case

[ivory sundial]

whats this talk about a new exotic pistol?

[pulsar sparrow]

I think you have to do Story mode first. Did you do that already?

[bold tiger]

#news-and-announcements message

[wispy merlin]

the mission is locked because you could get this season's manhunt reward early from it

[pulsar sparrow]

Ah, I see, TIL

[winged trail]

Will I not be able to get the mask anymore?

[bold tiger]

tomorrow the tinkerer mask will drop from there normally

[wispy merlin]

after tomorrow there will be a client update, you should be able to run that mission again for it

[bold tiger]

but if you want the exotic pistol now instead of waiting 8ish weeks, you can do the floor 100 farm in summit to get it. probably no first clear guarantees but probably 10%ish max drop rate?

[wispy merlin]

unless something goes wrong and it's still locked

[winged trail]

^^ ty

[bold tiger]

i feel they probably wouldn't have tested it correctly and people will still manage to get a tempest out of it 😹

[royal briar]

Are post-retaliation exotic blueprints more likely to drop on higher difficulties?

[wispy merlin]

yes

[bold tiger]

they drop after you successfuly complete retaliation and from killing the kill squads if none of them get stuck and evade kind of deal

[royal briar]

I had my doubts, because I was having these back to back when I had the global difficulty in challenging.

[royal briar]

Yes, I know how you get them, I asked if the odds of getting one of the blueprints that you can only have a chance of getting after successfully fighting off a retaliation has higher odds if the difficulty was set on challenging/heroic.

[wispy merlin]

answer is yes

[bold tiger]

i couldn't say if there would be higher odds, but i do have most factions farmed out i think, would have to double check next time i'm on but i feel there was a post about it being at a 50% chance from finishing the retal or killing the kill squad.
like i can run hyena i don't seem to get anymore

[wispy merlin]

it's a 50% chance on heroic, lower on lower difficulties for retaliation complete blueprint

[bold tiger]

i was honestly curious on it, just felt that 50% was stuck in my head for it but wasn't too sure honestly

🤔 wonder if they'll give us a gear/brandset that'd increase those chances on retal 😹

[bold tiger]

tahnks for enlightening me about the kill squad drop chances

[cold pumice]

As you can see, the blueprints from kill squads are different and don't over lap. So you can't get all of them by just farming kill squads for example

[bold tiger]

good to know, probably why i'm missing quite a few from true sons even though i farmed the hell out of them for advanced materials XD

[night ivy]

Ongoing directive build
Is it better to keep the Fox Prayers or
The Catalyst Mask which gives more dmg?

[weak finch]

Fox

[pseudo tundra]

catalyst is less impressive than you think

[weak finch]

I was so hyped for it... 😭

[bold tiger]

right?! my mind went to hunter's fury with it

[royal briar]

Aye, so the better risk/reward ratio is Challenging as usual. TY for the intel btw, where'd you find it?

[cold pumice]

Yes and no.

For a good build piloted by a good player the clear speed difference will be negligible.

[royal briar]

I didn't say I have a good build, nor am a good player. 🥲

90% base hazpro and a few more for burn,disrupt,disorent, all with a side of 10%AOK.

Yes, I already know that I am the reason the Black Tusks and Cleaners drink.

For the record, I'm grinding the sharpshooter skillpoints and weapons' proficiency. I'd have a Streamline KSG and good ol' Liberty instead.

Edit: Also, I decided to dress like a firefighter because of the hazpro.

[bold tiger]

wonder how that'd fair with tempest

[vague marsh]

so i'm wondering. was there some story missions for each seasons or something?

[bold tiger]

audio lore stuff i believe?

[wispy merlin]

one new "mission" every season that ties together what happened that season

[vague marsh]

What about these manhunts?

[bold tiger]

those manhunts are the seasons

believe our first manhunt was keener in WONY? then we were giving different targets each season. then at somepoint we rebuilt the castle settlement and my memory goes fuzzy from there

[vague marsh]

are these the missions?

[bold tiger]

seasons 1-8 was basically 1-4 on repeat as i think the team was pulled away from another game? they came back at 9 forget who it was but was the standard do x,y,z weekly to unlock manhunt target mission which was one of the missions we've ran but was under Bounty i want to say?
somewhere along the line we started getting crypted messages as we do now sort of where we had to decypher the objectives

one of hte recent manhunts was literally binary coded 😹

i just waited for youtubers like tickle posting the solution and then doing the manhunt things lol

[vague marsh]

Lol that's actually cool. I love me some puzzles

I already deal with that in battlefield

[weak finch]

Brother in what difficulty do you play? Also, how much damage do you average per bullet? normal and crit damage, very curious

[past socket]

division 2 xp scaling when? if they thought adding more enemy armor and hp for scaling or group is good idea, why not xp scaling? it's encourage every player to play in a group and friend. because honestly playing solo is the best right now, quicker while xp is the same

[bold tiger]

i'd say never or through various short events

[slim elk]

it's not directly xp scaling but when you make or join a group something called "Group Augmentation" activates and what it does is it increases the enemies forces and enemy armor & health

which in other terms that "gives more xp"

Now XP events are something that happen not so often, it's like having dessert after dinner, once in a while

[bold tiger]

not to mention the 2 different xp events. one specifically for seasonal xp and the other for shd xp

[slim elk]

shit I miss that one season full of xp events 😔

[slim elk]

3 with proficiency*

[bold tiger]

proficiency is more of a recently added isn't it?

[slim elk]

ye

[bold tiger]

but yeah good point adding that. i only remember getting the 2 various ones and the seasonal was just a recent but what 2ish seasons ago?

[slow oriole]

Does anyone know if you’re already at skill tier 6 and you activate advanced materiel at level 5, are your skills overcharged for the duration or are you capped at skill tier 6?

I was thinking of running a full skill build with either refactor or hardwired with that modifier on

[bold tiger]

if you read the whole descrition you get overcharged skills anyways at level 5 advance materials and you 'll be at st 6 without it activated i believe?

i'm logging in and double checking. i just feel that was one of the reasons i leveled that first and regretted it

so like the healing seeker, mortar turret, not sure what OC pulse drone would do though

so i misread it, my bad

[desert thunder]

Is the Memento broken. It says every trophy that's collected gives you armor regeneration for 300 seconds which is almost like 5 minutes. So why is it the orange thing disappears within a matter of seconds?

[bold tiger]

orange icon is the bonus armor , forget the other 2 here, short term buff. the grey (cool down icon) is your long term buff

btw: @inner tendon i might have to make your banshee pulse build with advanced materials 👀

[wispy merlin]

yep, the orange one is the "active" buff, the part that lasts 10 seconds

[desert thunder]

Thanks for the help

and under standing

[slow oriole]

i'm guessing just a longer duration, or more pulse range. might still try the refactor or hardwired setup though just to test it out

thank you by the way for double-checking

[bold tiger]

you're welcome. i'd hate to send someone astray because i misread something. i thought for sure it was all skills are OC'd

[inner tendon]

now that's just evil.
I love it!

[bold tiger]

right?! so you get OC 15%, flatline 15% spotter 15% would be hilarious or do i got the percentages wrong for the other 2 talents?

[inner tendon]

Add however much extra disorient duration Exp 25 gives you, and I can imagine that is going to be able to replace foam as my spawn-trap skill for the week.

[bold tiger]

(> <) so evil!

[inner tendon]

I can finally justify that shock trap combo! (no i can't, but i can dream!)

[bold tiger]

are you not 30 yet or you decided 25 is enough for it?

[inner tendon]

25 was enough, im trying to get a bunch up that ridiculously high.

i can say for sure that is is not worth it.

but that Exp 25 Blinder Firefly isn't gonna combo with Say Cheese on its own.

[bold tiger]

true, once this season ends the OC banshee pusle will be just meh

lol, same OC isn't it? just blind is a bit more useful?

[inner tendon]

Yeah higher duration, which when used during the Say Cheese cooldown, shortens it.

so it's a fun combo.

and genuinely the only time in my div history that I can safely say that Blinder Firefly was useful.

[clever fjord]

@bold tiger

you'd need mouse for that though

[bold tiger]

huh, i always double click the cache boxes themselves and they open for me

[wispy merlin]

slower than clicking Open

[desert thunder]

I wish there was a one click open all same with the Apparel cache as i got 99 of them but dont feel like sitting through the open clips

[bold tiger]

don't we all. i haven't mastered doing the opening with keyboard + mouse trick, but controller i don't have issues lol

[desert thunder]

take 1 min to open one box

[spare basalt]

G-g-ghost

😂

[desert thunder]

Like can you imagine sin through this for 99 of them and you already have all them like there should be one click open all

[bold tiger]

i know, but there's a way to open those quickly. you get to that open animation you change the page "think upper right or left bumper on controller" and you go back and repeat kind of deal

[desert thunder]

have to try that. just wait till 5x xp lol

[bold tiger]

like you see that, you'd hit LB or RB to swap away. then you hit the oppisite button to go back and you'd ahve opened and gotten the textiles kind of thing

forgot to post pic

[desert thunder]

oh nice thank you for the tip lol

[bold tiger]

yeah someone told me about it and it took me a bit to get the timing right for it

[desert thunder]

This is so much easier

[bold tiger]

yeah, controller it was much easier to time it. keyboard is tough for me even though i'm more of a K&M user but sometimes hitting the q or e key doesn't change that page oddly enough

anyone got a some kind of side by side with those R6 they're giving us?

those are the operator names right?

[desert thunder]

I thought you would have made fun of my pink stuffy lol

[bold tiger]

nah, if i had the room i'd have all kind of anime figures around my computer monitor and you can laugh at me all you want XD

@flint hare what i run for mortar build

sighs guess i'm going the premium route for those R6 cosmetics. i do like Deimos look more than the other 3

[flint hare]

Same has u but remplace impress with 2 Hana nd 1 wyvern. Same chest talent but tech support on backpack

[bold tiger]

lol, i've been lucky with pefectly skilled on chest. i'm constantly lobbing seekers XD

[flint hare]

same this weekend will be insane

[bold tiger]

think i'm getting 30% explosive damage with this set up + 5% skill efficiency + some odd skill damage because i bleed them with the mortar and they dance left and right with this build XD

[flint hare]

I will post mine later I'm not in the game atm

[bold tiger]

no need, was just sharing what i run for mortar build to give you some ideas of tweaking if you wanted to do so. those 2 grupo were rough to farm though

[flint hare]

I'm exp 30 on mortar, seekers explo sticky nd 25 on schrapnell

[bold tiger]

so 45% explosive damage from my build

[flint hare]

I already have mine too 😁

I play it since 7k shd I'm 30k atm

[clever fjord]

i forgor which targeted gives you the sawed off

[spare basalt]

What are the classified assignments?

[slim elk]

extra missions from the year 1 pass

[celest kindle]

How long does it take for server to refresh?

[slim elk]

they're like side missions but with another name

[slim elk]

at most one minute or less, it just moves you from one server to another

[celest kindle]

It took about 5 minutes

[spare basalt]

I can do them whenever?I heard there's some stuff i shouldn't do as a new player because it'll auto complete things

[slim elk]

IIRC they can be done once a week and no, it doesn't

[spare basalt]

I see

thanks

[bold tiger]

i hate you @inner tendon i'm running this with say cheese and having fun 😹

[cold pumice]

Xp isn't the same...since group play adds more enemies...therefore more xp in general.

Also, with a good group (or even a semi competent group) even with scaling clear speeds are MUCH faster, resulting in far higher XP/time gains.

[slim elk]

all these modifiers and builds sound like hella fun 😭

[bold tiger]

yes, summit running to get floor 100 or near floor 100 and i'm practically flashing the whole room with it and headshotting them if i got my determined talent running

[vague marsh]

What's the hardest content in this game?

[cold pumice]

Legendary Zoo Solo

[vague marsh]

hardest group content

[cold pumice]

Legendary Zoo.

[bold tiger]

here's me spaming left click on those boxes on the screen and spacebar
probably similar effect with you spamming the F key to open button on the bottom right

[vague marsh]

What about the raid and incursion?

[cold pumice]

What about them?

[flint hare]

Not that hard if u know how to do it

[cold pumice]

Raids are just a DPS check.

Legendary missions require a large amount of game awareness, mechanic knowledge and general skill to complete.

Raids and Incursions require a couple of players to know what they're doing and the ability to communicate that to a larger group. That doesn't apply to legos.

[slow oriole]

I’m actually having trouble with this one. Even doing DUA on legendary with 1.7 mil armor on my build, I still haven’t even gotten to 1/5 yet.

Does anyone know of a more surefire way to get this challenge done?

I wonder if Zealot being at level 5 prevents you from resisting damage since you’re technically at 200% DR

[vague marsh]

where would I see said capped stat so I can track it?

[pseudo tundra]

inventory menu, i think the third or fourth tab is called stats

it's the one attribute you want on most guns and to shorten that whole thing up, we use dttooc or similar abbreviations

[flint hare]

just fui u always put Dttooc on weap when u can

[feral karma]

unless its an lmg

[flint hare]

that why i said when u can

[soft portal]

Ah I see I mostly play DZ so never really look at the attributes of my guns as I only use pestilence or st Elmo's as I have never done DH for EB

Tbh I only ever used Lexington like 1 or 2 times

I just need a decent Regen Build I'm sick of having no Regen lmaoo

[clever fjord]

playing dz doesn't mean you ignore stats lol

[supple bane]

Dz gives you more reasons to check the stats 🤔

[soft portal]

I don't use anything but pestilence or st Elmo's so no point cus can't get dttooc unless you can and I gotta grind again

[clever fjord]

cant get it unless you can?

[supple bane]

You can recraft elmos to change the 3rd stat

Idr the exact term

[soft portal]

Ah Ty never knew that

[clever fjord]

reconfigure

[supple bane]

That^

[oak gazelle]

that's why I said #ask-td2-community message

because you need to find the right one as a drop, you can't just reconfigure it like Elmos or other exotics

[soft portal]

Where did you say?

[oak gazelle]

I implied it by saying the stuff I linked

[soft portal]

Where? I literally just joined this chat when I first sent my message

[oak gazelle]

click on the link 😄

[soft portal]

Ah my b I read it as something completely different I was in wrong again my vad

[oak gazelle]

dw you will get used to it

[soft portal]

But I am truly sorry haha

[oak gazelle]

no blueprint confirmed 😄

For anyone wondering whether there is a blueprint for the Tempest after you unlock it... unfortunately, there isn't.

[peak tusk]

If I want to make a bug report where do i go to do it?

[oak gazelle]

to the official ubisoft support discord or on their official website

[bold tiger]

awesome they finally fixed this 😹

[oak gazelle]

@clever fjord

[bold tiger]

nice exotic component (> <)

[oak gazelle]

I'll keep one for the collection 😄

[nocturne siren]

Why no mark as favorite :(

Love how liberty is marked but not regulus 💀

[supple bane]

Living life on the edge

[oak gazelle]

I have like 5 Regulus

[clever fjord]

rip cant reconfigure

ill have to stick with fire rate

[bold tiger]

huh, found in a backpack in summit

[visual current]

If I do not complete the mission in the time frame allotted, I get nothing ??? Also, is anyone doing this on time 🤔 It took me almost 18 min

[solemn moon]

Does this problem still persist for you?

[nocturne siren]

Just dump the difficulty?

[visual current]

You mean just do them on hard ?

[nocturne siren]

Correct

[clever fjord]

on story even if that still does it

[nocturne siren]

Normal, surely, would work

[clever fjord]

does reconfiguring an exo make it lose the expertise on it?

[visual current]

I'll give that a try. Thanks!! 🫡

[nocturne siren]

No

[visual current]

Expertise level on the Turmoil does not seem to go up 🤔 Should I keep it or deconstruct it ? Thanks!!

[solar condor]

there are only 2 missions to do or what

[weak finch]

Turmoil does not have expertise. Also, dont nerf yourself with Turmoil🙏

[visual current]

Ok, Thanks!! I've changed my build back.

[soft portal]

How already?

[cold pumice]

Been in the loot pool for a few hours with a 45% legendary drop rate....essentially a coin flip

[soft portal]

Ah I'm tryna get it but my builds suck and looking for random with the right floor

[muted lance]

how to fix

[weak finch]

Did they removed the Retaliation timer? or am I reading fake news

[cold pumice]

They did not.

[eternal forge]

Is anyone else having trouble connecting to the game? I've been getting connection errors for the last hour. I checked my internet connection for lost packets, and it's 0%.

[nimble spruce]

Did you install today's patch?

[pure nexus]

is it just me or is the capitol building legendary mode inaccesible even tho its the daily project?

[nimble spruce]

Is it invaded? You need to toggle it to regular mode before you can pick legendary difficulty

[bold tiger]

🤔 how nice of GCRock making a video on how to farm floor 100 (> <)

[weak finch]

Are people really suffering having fun on Legendary floor 100 just for the chance to get a pistol they are not going to use, and that will be given out anyway in a couple of months?

[nimble spruce]

of course

[pseudo tundra]

I mean in am making use of it

But im the weirdo making pistols builds

[weak finch]

Share it

[pseudo tundra]

Sec

#td2-build-advice message

[civic pond]

I got it and honestly it’s an ok back up weapon luckily I got it on my 3rd run but I can see it being crazy amazing or overly used

[edgy moth]

whats so special about contractors vs normal petra's gloves?

[wispy merlin]

damage to armor

[edgy moth]

I didn't even notice thats different :D ty

[vague marsh]

So I was wondering. how should I manage my mod inventory? I noticed that I can't use the same mod for a gear even if it's in the inventory. which I think is dumb. so I need multiple chc just so I don't have to replace them everytime

[weak finch]

You can use the same mod in multiple builds. Just save each build and that's it.

[vague marsh]

you mean save as in loadout?

[weak finch]

yes!

[dense whale]

cant we reconfigure?

[slim elk]

not yet

[dense whale]

i see

[bold tiger]

i'm going to feel extremely stupid if i log in my 2nd account and i got floor 100 summit 😭

[ivory knot]

Which of the sets is pretty much never used/useless to keep?

[bold tiger]

System Corruption is pretty high up there i believe

[pseudo tundra]

quite the contrary, system corruption is extremely rare to the point trying to farm pieces for it is quite annoying

[bold tiger]

it's a pvp set to boot, and doesn't most high end builds destroy system corruption?

[ivory knot]

can't you farm it using targeted loot?

[worldly fjord]

Nope

[ivory knot]

but it's pretty much useless for pve from what I can see

I assume it's supposed to be a pvp set with the name tag hiding and what not

[cold pumice]

Ninja Pew Pew set

[pseudo tundra]

Yeah, its more that is so annoying to farm that its kinda worth to keep an spare if you can in your stash

[ivory knot]

but what do I do with my 5 spare striker sets D:

[pseudo tundra]

One for each working day of the week

[weak finch]

I do that lmao

striker / hunter's fury / tipping scales / eclipse protocol / regulus 1-shot / infinite sticky bomb / Lengmo Pestilence / Negotiator's Dilemma

[rugged stratus]

No mortar 👀

[weak finch]

its next on the list 🫡 I just discovered it last week

[bold tiger]

i'd say get it soon, this weekend might make it a bit fun if you can balance a +3 skill tier and whatever to have 6 skill tier mortars XD

[rugged stratus]

Good answer

[weak finch]

poor Outcasts gonna feel like they're in Helldivers with all the hellfire that its coming from the sky

[bold tiger]

any clue how that'll work?
we log in on the weekend and it'll be there?
be something like the scouts where we go into the events menu and activate it?

[rugged stratus]

2-3 mortars in a group is absolutely nuts
