[rugged stratus]

No need for haste anyways. Go hardwire

[marsh tundra]

we got skill haste at home
skill haste at home : hard wire

[clever fjord]

mmhm ik but what im asking is what is the tick damage calc on fire chem for example

[tame cloak]

no legendary missions remade from div1? that's such a loss omg.

does the expansion have legendary missions?

[marsh tundra]

i dont have the table sry

[marsh tundra]

no there are only 4

[odd condor]

no, legendaries are strictly limited to the stronghold missions and neither expansion has strongholds

[rugged stratus]

Status and skill damage, ticks are determined by blast strength

Skill damage is snap shot when fire skill deployed

[tame cloak]

so it's just a warlords again

[wispy merlin]

status effects and skill damage are different multipliers

[rugged stratus]

So like cap would need to be stacked prior to deploy skill

[tame cloak]

seems pointless, thanks for the feedback. I dont see a point on a expansion if it doesnt bring replayable stuff.

[marsh tundra]

i mean its an expansion, like warlords, there are missions, open world, and so on

[clever fjord]

thought they had a crit damage + hsd interaction

[wispy merlin]

nahhh

[tame cloak]

doest help ingame random mission queue wont send you to new york.

[marsh tundra]

it also add gear to drop

[tame cloak]

pointless than. does it even add a raid?

[marsh tundra]

raids are free

[tame cloak]

what gear? and what are the hunter reward?

[marsh tundra]

and gear isnt pointless, thats the point of the entire game

if you dont play to get gear, why iu even play

[tame cloak]

sigh i guess, i mean 80% runs striker tho.

[marsh tundra]

so ?

[tame cloak]

than the skill builds. and a small % runs rest. so? the new gear isn't usually that interesting. Ill have to check.

[marsh tundra]

then why u still play

if you already got striker, you can clear the entire game

[tame cloak]

ppl can have other reasons to play, other than your own?

[marsh tundra]

yes, thats why im asking you what it is

[cold pumice]

I think it's more that you seem to be trying to find reasons to NOT play the expansion.

Which is fine, ultimately your choice.

[wispy merlin]

lyfe isn't trying to diminish your reasons for playing the game, he's simply asking what it is

[tame cloak]

no thanks, seems pointless to give my opinions and point of views to a stranger. I just wanted feedback on what the expansion brought, thank you for that.

[wispy merlin]

but yeah i agree the expansion at the end of the day just boiled down to smart cover for me

[marsh tundra]

lmao

[cold pumice]

Smart cover is enough reason to get it tbh lol

[wispy merlin]

i bought it just for smart cover 💀

[tame cloak]

not really, i was excited for it untill i found out it doesnt really bring anything worth it.

smart cover?

[marsh tundra]

how do u know whats worth or not

[cold pumice]

Smart cover is a very good skill, but it all boils down to what you want

[wispy merlin]

yeah it's a new skill

[tame cloak]

oh?

[wispy merlin]

only available to brooklyn owners

[marsh tundra]

same with wony expansion

[tame cloak]

smart cover uh? need to check what it does

[wispy merlin]

yeah wony skills are some of the best ones

[clever fjord]

rememeber when we used to get skills behind manhunts and not paid expansion 🥹

[cold pumice]

Variants and Effects
Precision: Grants enhanced weapon handling, damage, and automatic reloads for allies using the cover. It can also apply a pulse to enemies hit by players from behind the reinforced cover.
Fortified: Offers increased bonus armor, resistances (explosive and pulse), and immunity to stagger effects for agents within the cover.

[marsh tundra]

it make your cover smarter than the agents fighting

[tame cloak]

does it stack?

like if many use it at the same time?

[marsh tundra]

it was variants only

[clever fjord]

i mean come on ny added like 4 skills (3 if you're technical) compared to brooklyn it is just not that good

[tame cloak]

BRO I WANT THE EXPANSION NOW T_T , dammit, that skill looks so good.

[cold pumice]

No, can only benefit from one at a time

[marsh tundra]

devs said the expansion would be smaller than wony

[tame cloak]

that can be a issue, but meh, skill still huge W

[marsh tundra]

well we could have told u that if you told us what you like to do ingame lol

[clever fjord]

there used to be a bug where you could have it permenantly even out of cover and after respawning
it was fixed though

[cold pumice]

It's a very versatile skill

[wispy merlin]

it's already busted enough with 1 person casting it

[marsh tundra]

clearly

and the gear set that comes with it can be incredibly strong

[tame cloak]

gear name?

[wispy merlin]

measured assembly

[tame cloak]

exotic name? where i find the info?

[rugged stratus]

Mortar > smart cover
😍

-# Mortar Supremacy

[cold pumice]

Catalyst

[wispy merlin]

gear sheet pinned in #td2-build-advice

[clever fjord]

im saying for most players the expansion was really just that skill
who plays there in brooklyn if not for the catalyst mask only to be stashed anway

[tame cloak]

kind of my issue

they should had at least brought a legendary mission, but that skill is a W

[marsh tundra]

thats true for most looter shooter tho, exapnsion to get new skills

look destiny

[tame cloak]

im just salty af they never finished division 1, lots of balance issues, plus they didn't do legendary for every mission

[clever fjord]

i'd look at warframe before destiny for smart ideas going forward LOL

[tame cloak]

even more salty we dont have remakes here of some of the best division1 missions

man... now i feel like playing division 1 again, it's such a good game, only issue being the gear farm.

[marsh tundra]

div 1 is finished tho, and legendaries werent meant for every mission

also its a new game the point is to have new content not reuse the first game

[tame cloak]

it's not that bad with the global events since they can make some of the non leg missions harder

[marsh tundra]

i mean if you wanna play div 1, play div 1, not div 2

its meant to be a whole new game in same universe, not the same game but redone

[kind cove]

This game has a lot of balance issues and legenday is still limited because thats the point

Things like master and legendary need to be tailored around the mission otherwise you risk it being unfairly hard

[pseudo tundra]

heavy does a random spawn right next to you almost killing you with their stinger hive, people would not be happy

[rugged stratus]

-# sorry in advance for useful spam

Grand Washington Hotel is invaded this week.
Perfect week to start the Nemesis project, or get that blueprint you been waiting for.

After you get the Tidal Basin piece , change mode for invaded stronghold back to invaded. Complete again for another nemesis piece (stronghold dependent). With any 2 pieces in hand, set GWH back to invaded and the blueprint will drop. Nemesis can be farmed from Marksman Rifle Target Loot after that, regardless of project completion.

[muted lance]

wth

[slow cairn]

do be curious. does Nordvpn makes division mad or can i have it on (disconnected) since i got anti malware n other fun stuff on. or do i need to close the program?

[marsh tundra]

vpn dont go hand in hand with live serve games that need stable connexion

[slow cairn]

it ain't active. its more idle in the background since i have anti-malware/ advanced browsing protection and more.

[marsh tundra]

then your have internet issues

[slow cairn]

so i dn't start div and gets slapped.

[spice aspen]

would the Virtuoso set be better to pair with St elmos and coyotes mask than pairing with strikers?

[cold pumice]

I'll be blunt:

Virtuoso is dogshit

[spice aspen]

i was reading the stats and stuff it seemed like it would buff weapon damage more than strikers though when you get that 2x bonus?

[cold pumice]

It simply isn't viable as you have no way to know how far away the enemies are and it's too much effort for very little return.

[spice aspen]

gotcha

[marsh tundra]

any other gearset would be better tbh, even if you can clear content with it

[pseudo tundra]

And i think it gives you weapon damage not amp damage

[cold pumice]

It's double weapon damage iirc, which for the effort is garbo

Considering strikers is 90% more total weapon damage for simply hitting anything

[wispy merlin]

striker is amp yeah, virtuoso is just weapon damage, and you already have 200%+ weapon damage on a full red

never ever take stuff as they are on paper

[marsh tundra]

tbh the gimmick is useless on its own, its too much work and hoping for enemies to stay in place, which doesnt happen

it should be reworked so that it proc in easier way + amp damage not just wd

[cold pumice]

As detailed above, it's important to learn the differences between additive and multiplicative damage types

That's all without mentioning that strikers buffs dps with ROF increase and weapon handling increase too

15% Weapon handling = 15% accuracy, 15% stability, 15% weapon swap speed and 15% reload speed

plus 15% ROF increase

[weak finch]

Hehehe i got it, hate both previous Scorpio skins, love this one

[ivory sundial]

is it logical to use Overdogs and Shroud together or should it only be one/other?

[marsh tundra]

its bad together, shroud is only useful vs highest tier target, and useless otherwise

i mean not useless but the buff is just too good

[tame cloak]

div 2 questions, did the chameleon get buffed? any way to use it wel on striker while being able to survive since wep is close range?

[odd condor]

no

Striker has an inherent weapon handling boost but otherwise no short of trading Obliterate and other chest damage talents for Braced or Perfect Braced and sticking to cover when using it

[clever fjord]

25th or 27th of November

Oh i didn't understand your question lmao
Probably a new event this week as it's reset

[spice aspen]

i just found a RogueGold Cap are they starting to drop high end cosmetic gear now/

[cold pumice]

That's part of an event

[spice aspen]

ohhh is there anymore cosmetics i can find?

[cold pumice]

There are 9 pieces of creator gear you can get from looting open world.
3 caps, 3 shirts and 3 hoodies

There are also 3 backpacks you can get from completing the time trial projects for each creator

[spice aspen]

Dj Tickles is such a weirdo name someone check his harddrives fr

[woven quiver]

any advice on how to quickly level a fresh hardcore character?

[celest spindle]

is there a difference between total weapon damage and weapon damage?

[gleaming wigeon]

Can anyone explain why my build feels OP on solo runs but when I play with a friend it feels nerfed? 🤔

[celest spindle]

hp scaling on multiplayer

[gleaming wigeon]

Good to know, Thanks 👍

[shadow isle]

what's the trick with the week 4 manhunt Lieutenant Zipper? I've cleared all the hyena control points, done all the hyena missions, some random bounties, and nothing happens

[wispy merlin]

different multipliers

[pseudo tundra]

Total is applied last, just weapon damage is based on base weapon damage

[nocturne siren]

When you boost to 40, does the crafting bench get fully upgraded?

This is critical 🤌 I need to know. All my character slots are full and I don't wanna delete one if this trick doesn't work

[celest spindle]

no

you need to purchase the recipes again

or craft, I'm not sure how you would call it

[high glade]

I believe the level of the bench itself (or quality?) is maxed. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't remember doing anything at all on my 2nd and 3rd characters to get the highest bench tier. Obviously you won't have the recipes for attachments, but yea.

Or it was that way for boosting to 30 and leveling to 40. I would guess boosting to 40 follows the same logic.

[nocturne siren]

Don't need the attachments. I'm going to be crafting purple Yaahl and deconning it

[high glade]

O, then I don't think that would work unless the bench follows a different set of logic. I think it maxes out automatically. Again, don't quote me on that as I could be wrong. I don't own Brooklyn yet, so can't say for 100% certain.

[nocturne siren]

Gonna have my buddy hopefully test it. I don't wanna nuke a character for no reason

I have 4 and all 4 of them are full 💀

[high glade]

Oof. 😂

[nocturne siren]

Yeah that feeling and situation sucks 😂

[high glade]

I thought I had a bunch just having a full 400 stash.

[nocturne siren]

My stash is also that much 💀

[high glade]

I can probably get rid of stuff, but then it would be my luck to be like "Where did X piece go?" the next day. 🤣

[nocturne siren]

I have to be careful which characters I delete. 2 are for pvp and 2 are for PvE

Your info definitely helped me out some. I'll wait until confirmation

[high glade]

Let me (and everyone) know if you find out for certain!

[real zodiac]

backfire has no reconfigure blueprint ?

[rugged stratus]

it does. where are you looking?

[real zodiac]

the blueprint shopper

[rugged stratus]

did you check if you already had in the crafting bench?

[real zodiac]

yes and it doesnt even show up as locked

[rugged stratus]

thats weird. did it just drop for you or had it a while

[real zodiac]

had it while from retaliation

[rugged stratus]

im not sure then. maybe some blueprints are bugged. idk of any active issues with it, but maybe someone can fill in the blanks

[slim elk]

@real zodiac relog

[rugged stratus]

for a journey build cache this really was quite solid

[slim elk]

finally something that makes sense

[storm crescent]

Does global diff affect retaliation

[clever fjord]

Yes

And it affects kill squad blueprint drop chance and from retal finish too

[storm crescent]

I’ve never done one before, my global diff is challenging, my first time should be on heroic or it doesn’t matter ?

[clever fjord]

If you want the highest chance of obtaining blueprints then yes

Heroic isn't even that bad anyway

[storm crescent]

there’s no first retal bonus right?

It just gave me one but I’m not gonna do it , it’s prolly gonna expire

[clever fjord]

Wdym?

[storm crescent]

Bonus drop chance of exotic for doing your first mission

[clever fjord]

Never heard of that

95% is still a good chance though on heroic

[storm crescent]

Ahh bet thanks bro

[cold pumice]

That only applies to the reward exotic from seasonal manhunt finale. Nothing else

[desert thunder]

I like to get somebody's opinion. I noticed there's some gear that have crit hit chance crit hit damage and weapons damage now Would you go weapon damage over Crit or would you go crit over damage?

[rugged stratus]

weapon damage is additive with your red cores, crit damage is a seperate multiplier so will have a bigger impact on damage output as opposed to adding more weapon damage. pvp type builds that focus on a lot of armor cores will see weapon damage have impact on damage output on par with crit.
on pve dps you focus red cores, and crit damage. you want to hit crit chance cap of 60% crit chance. chance will determine how many of your shots get the crit damage multiplier included in the calculation

headshot damage is also another way to go. but you basically cotta pick if its a headshot build or a crit build and focus accordingly. mixing lowers your overall damage output.

total weapon damage is another multiplier, as well as damage to armor (contractor's glove), damage to targets out of cover(fox's prayer knee), and any amps (like glass cannon). each can improve your overall damage.

[rugged stratus]

check the pinned sheet in #td2-build-advice for some solid build guides that help you farm optimal setups

[celest spindle]

so being new to TD2, I decided to do some prep work for the Hollywood event? I think thats the name - turns out the grenade launcher only works with explosion damage? Even the seasonal modifier, Advanced Materiel, does not affect its damage. Do the devs know about this?

And yes, I know that probably I wont be able to use the seasonal modifier with the event. It's just disappointing that there is like nearly no way for you to have impact on the damage of the grenade launcher outside of that crappy set.

even the backpack talent doesn't affect it

[dire radish]

Grenade launcher wipes 4 man heroics with hollywood on. Unless they have nerfed the event somehow, you don't really need to buff that dmg.

[solar condor]

when picking a talent in Nemesis, the top one says "weapon damage" in English, but in the Polish version it says "obrażenia od umiejętności" (which means skill damage). Is that just a translation mistake or is it actually meant to be something different?

[celest spindle]

also, I'm so broke now after farming all the gear so I could test things :/ it sucks

[inner tendon]

@celest spindle Gear bits or credits?
For the former: Countdown run > decon everything you don't need to keep.
For the latter: Priority Objectives w/credits as the reward. Shed-loads of cash.

Just doing some during the Stretch Goals event when they came up, I hit well over a million from basically nothing.

[celest spindle]

ah didn't think to try those

I generally just do the XP ones.. I do a lot of countdown admittedly lol! Trying out build ideas in this game is pretty neat, though sometimes frustrating.

[inner tendon]

Yeah the XP ones are....basically, the XP that'xs listed there is just for your SHD XP, it doesn't work for Season Pass, so won't help with the Event Pass either.

tl;dr the best rewards for Prio' is probably still Exotic Item/Credits/Resources.

The base XP you get from completing any Priority Obective however, will give you XP for your Season Pass, just to confuse matters.

[woven quiver]

What resource is this from Retaliation? It has an up symbol but I'm not seeing it in my resource tab.

[feral karma]

active modifier xp

[woven quiver]

okay ty

[obtuse sail]

any else get these notifications? got them last week, bit early

[marsh tundra]

it's normal

[cold pumice]

Its advertising....

[warm bluff]

Is the new york collapse hardcover book still available anywhere for purchase?

[obtuse sail]

yeah but the bundle states it’s in store now?

[meager torrent]

does the unlimited boss farm still work at summit? like kill the named enemy at floor 10, leave to lobby then appear back at floor 10 to face the named enemy again

[marsh tundra]

only if you let enough ads alive

[meager torrent]

ahhhhhhhhh okay thanks

[nimble spruce]

Yes

[cold pumice]

Have to leave at least 1 enemy alive and exit to lobby

[marsh tundra]

1enemy isnt enough anymore iirc

[nimble spruce]

Doubt

Only reason it would mark the floor as completed without all enemies dead would be if reanimated picked some of them back up again

[inner tendon]

Unless Lyfe is talking about a proxy, which was always an issue.

[marsh tundra]

it was a while since I tried it, but I remember the floor was counted as completed for me when there was a single rusher left alive that I let kill me to test, it counted as comoleted despite that

maybe it's a bug idk

[inner tendon]

Defintiely sounds like a bug.

Actually, recently I've noticed that happening in a few normal mission areas. Able to advance with an enemy left alive.

(this is before Reanimated was active, to be clear)

[cold pumice]

It's definitely still the case, I've done it multiple times over the last few weeks

Not saying it didn't happen by the way, just saying it sounds like what you experienced was some sort of glitch or bug

[rugged stratus]

Floor 10 was dead to me as soon as they nerfed the xp

[cold pumice]

Sometimes you just want a change to running countdown tbh lol

[rugged stratus]

Nah, I just run projects anymore. I only need components most of the time. I will farm out some overdogs when/if they get added to the pool tho

[marsh tundra]

meh, what's the oint of xp past a certain shd lvl

[cold pumice]

Mats

[rugged stratus]

It made a difference
I think i was able to ratchet expertise to around 28 when it first released with f10 only. Granted there was a rollback because expertise was broken, but I was still at 16 after that 😎

[marsh tundra]

Last time I watched solid on stream he didnt even bother with loot, left everything on the floor cause he had just everything maxed out anyway

im not even hardcore gamer like him im juste an average player but I kinda see it now that my expertise is maxed

[wispy merlin]

🤝

[calm rivet]

Guys i have a question.. why in clan list or friends list few players have this star symbol next to the name?

[cold pumice]

That denotes the person currently at the top of the weekly clan xp leaderboard

[eternal edge]

has anyone done the manager manhunt mission recently? it has last seasons modifiers active

[slim elk]

as intended

[eternal edge]

oh its supposed to be that way?

[slim elk]

ye

[eternal edge]

oh ok im trying to get my friend the tinkerer

[calm rivet]

Tysm

[nocturne siren]

Quickest way to level up event pass?

[cold pumice]

THe projects give 1k xp per time and they repeat

[nocturne siren]

Got it thank you 🤝

[cerulean lark]

Aside from ACOG, what other scopes doesn't force you into using them when aiming?

[eternal edge]

so with streamline, having a skill active also disables it?

[bold tiger]

pull out a shield, streamline goes away. have an artificer hive on your back and it sends a drone to an agents skill, streamline goes away

[bold tiger]

this one feels like a cheap mimic to the RE nemesis mask?

[inner tendon]

It looks remarkably like that one guy from the first Hellboy movie.

[eternal edge]

they should update the description lol it says nothing about if a skill is active lol

[slim elk]

I mean you can understand it also deactivates when a skill is on use when you try and do that

[inner tendon]

It also has the added benefit of not being as strong as it appears, which is probably why I see it at least once per pub match, without fail.

(as the sole damage buff, not in conjunction)

[bold tiger]

in the pts it used to work with shield deployed and other skills that are deployable, but i agree when they went public with it, they should've added a "deployed skills also loses this buff" in there

[cold pumice]

In all honesty, Stream lined is a noob trap. Its not a good talent at all

[elfin storm]

Sorry if this is the wrong channel, and sorry if it's a repeated question. I'm pretty new too division 2 and there's a lot to absorb. What's the reason behind no crossplay? Is it something that may come out at a later time or even with a Division 3??

[cold pumice]

Sony.

It wasnt commonplace when div 2 was released because of Sony. And doing it post release would be too much work at this point.

It will likely be in Div 3.

[elfin storm]

Thanks for that. That's good to hear. A friend introduced me to it, but he's on Xbox and I'm on PC. Didn't realise until after I started playing that we couldn't actually play it together.

[cold pumice]

Division 3 is slated for release around 2027, and is currently in development. Although no news or anything has been released as yet, crossplay/cross save is a safe bet

[cinder shadow]

is there a guaranteed way to find rogue agents in PvE ?

[weak finch]

No

[cloud lichen]

Question, is there a way of speed donating the weapons at tinkering station for expertise?

[strange harbor]

mark as junk then donate junks

[cold pumice]

Mark all as junk, go to screen and hold x to donate all junk

[cloud lichen]

[cold pumice]

Make sure to extract any talents or stats first before you donate

[eternal edge]

what would be a better talent then

[cold pumice]

Better talent than streamlined?

Measured, killer, strained lots of them

[eternal edge]

im guessing streamlined doesnt give that much extra damage

[pseudo tundra]

it gives but it's not the best for most scenarios

it would work better for weapons with already very high damage per shot like shotguns and snipers

[cold pumice]

Since its only weapon damage not really, its just additive damage

[pseudo tundra]

but those two already have high competitive better talents

[cold pumice]

Adding too much to one bucket pretty much

[pseudo tundra]

for weapons focused on volume of fire such as LMGs, ARs, SMGs it's better stick to crits and others

[cold pumice]

I can show you using the damage calculation, should help you visualise it:

If your base weapon damage is 100,000.

AWD from red cores = 90%

SWD from spec = 15%.

And CHD is 120%.

The calculation would be as follows:

100,000 x (1+1.05) x (1+1.2) = 451,000

Add streamlined and it looks like this:

100,000 x (1+1.47) x (1+1.2) = 543,400

Now remove streamlined and add killer (+70% CHD)

100,000 x (1+1.05) x (1+1.9) = 594,500

Over 50,000 more damage from using killer.

And thats only the beginning of the weapon damage calculation, as you go further and add amps etc that gap gets bigger and bigger.

[eternal edge]

i have killer on my other gun for my tinkerer strikers. what other talent would you recommend?

[cold pumice]

Personally, I wouldnt run tinkerer with Strikers, unless I was grouped up and knew someone was using OD (then I'd stick Sadist on)

Measured is a popular secondary

[wispy merlin]

in the future, just use 2.3 as the AWD multiplier. and also crit is best estimated with the "average crit multiplier" 1+chc*chd. so you can do something like 100000 * 2.3 * (1 + 0.6 * 1.2) to get the average shot

2.3 is basically as you did but also factoring in watch bonus and swd from weapon, only expertise is missing so you can add later

[cold pumice]

Cool, it was just a quick one before I jumped in the shower. How much does it change with the average shot? I'm assuming its much the same just as an average instead of a "max hit"

[wispy merlin]

it varies, mainly i just wanted to recommend 2.3 as the magic awd number to use.

[cloud lichen]

field recon here always?

[weak finch]

I mean if you need it (you will). Just let them acumulate and spend on a need basis

[cold pumice]

SHD calibration are the rarest

They're also the most expensive to craft

And you need ALOT of them.

[cold pumice]

Excellent, I'll make note. Chows damage calculation showcase has been great for me so far

[hazy flicker]

Anyone know what the bare minimum components are needed to run a game like the Division on a PC or laptop? trying to finally decide if buying or building a pc….. or any better recommendations for components. Thanks

[marsh tundra]

its indicated on ubi website

[storm crescent]

how to random matchmake retaliation

[weak finch]

Cant at the moment

[storm crescent]

Ok thanks

[weak finch]

Just matchmake at the beginning of a random heroic mission amd surprise them

[cold pumice]

While pre built PCs are a minefield of rip offs, if you're not confident building your own. Get a pre built.

[scenic crater]

I have a question for anyone that can help me. This problem has been happening for about 2 weeks now. I am running around Division 2, do projects, missions, street fightings, etc and about every 5 mins, I will hear a grenade timer going off, light white circle appear around me and then an explosion will happen, bring my health down to almost nothing. This will happen for no reason. It can happen when there is no enemies in sight or I am just picking up loot on the streets or in mission, whatever. Does anyone have an ideal why that keeps happenings and btw I don't have directives on?

[pseudo tundra]

Are you using the zealot active modifier and pressing the button by accident?

Zealot gives you a lot of damage resistance but when it ends it has an explosion that heals you based on how many enemies it hits

No enemies means no heal so you just blow up

[scenic crater]

Ahhhh okay that makes sense thank you for that feed back

[weak finch]

Bro just using stuff without reading the manual

[desert thunder]

Does anyone know why there's different colors on the left side of the weapons? Like I see some yellow, some black, some red

[rugged stratus]

Looks like proficient has full color , color based on highend or exotic

#lfg-pc

[solar jewel]

So i found out that I need to farm DZ for the back pack im looking at called the gift, is it just farming the like named areas inside?

I don't know much about DZ, guess its time to binge videos x-x

[pseudo tundra]

Yeah, in your case is better to farm when targetted is of the same brand

[solar jewel]

But does that work with it? I read that it's exclusive to DZ and conflict

(new to end game)

I'm doing the build from the doc sheet for tipping scales and pestilence (Still don't...have that LMG and thats with me spamming countdown) but I thought to pair the gift with the sacrifice

[pseudo tundra]

If the brand is on the DZ i mean

[solar jewel]

oooo, I see.

[pseudo tundra]

Can also try named caches but its a gamble

[solar jewel]

I guess for now I'll just run what I can find, I still have to get my LMG

[bold tiger]

btw, you can go for a normal providence backpack with vigilence on it. the only difference is 1 second between normal vigilence and perfect vigilence

[solar jewel]

Oh, didn't think about that!

I am gonna go attempt DZ to farm pestilence, I've been doing countdown for a few days now and no luck. I did get a chatterbox with max crit chance. Its been super fun

21% crit chance is nuts

[bold tiger]

also can try gambling with retaliation and using your watches to buy reconfiguration caches

[solar jewel]

whats retaliation?

actually, I'll just google it

i got this saiga im waiting to tinker once i get damage out of cover maxed out in my tinker station

filling out my library has been fun

[solar jewel]

OH! Yeah I've been messing with this!

[narrow matrix]

If I start the battle for Brooklyn dlc will I get locked from raids until completion like with WONY?

[pseudo tundra]

No

[kind cove]

You can still cancel out the EB talent by swapping weapons right? Or does it still deal damage

[ivory sundial]

was the carmine mask a past season reward?

[kind cove]

Yes

[real zodiac]

best way to farm event pass ?

[inner tendon]

@real zodiac Outside of doing the Time Trial Project each day; Priority Objectives: Strongholds, the reward itself doesn't factor in to the XP total, just difficulty and whether or not it's Invaded (more XP for base version)

[desert thunder]

Okay some of you people really get me really confused with some of the builds you guys do like the shade level on this guy is over 13,000 I've been playing the division for a very long time ever since it dropped, but I don't understand. Is some people that have high SHD levels running these weird builds? Why is that? I'm just curious

And no I'm not trolling I just want to know for this madness lol

[wispy merlin]

shd level literally does not mean anything, he's just running trash

[odd condor]

they might be running all 6 to speed up gearset proficiency for expertise

the game has had a lot of XP exploits over the past three years in particular with no punishment, so five digit SHD level should be interpreted as a sign they exploited rather than anything resembling competence or skill at the game

[real zodiac]

how does one get Potomac Relief Camp mission ?

[inner tendon]

@odd condor It should be noted: that we've also had more than a few 5x and 3x SHD XP events on, with caps of 1000 levels each.
So don't always assume exploits, it's just SHD level meaning nothing, as Aver' said.

@real zodiac It's a side mission, so if you boosted to Lvl 40, or used the "skip" to reach WONY/brooklyn, you probably don't get access to it on that character.
Just make a new one and level slowly, you can play them all. They're mostly set in locations later used for Bounties.

[real zodiac]

what is the pt of hacking SHD terminal or gone rogue in darkzone ?

[left ravine]

Going rogue enables PvP

[cold pumice]

Going Rogue means others can kill you.

You are also marked on the map, so everyone will know where you are

And other players get rewarded if they kill you

[left ravine]

When going rogue people can occasionally see you, not all the time. That happens only if you reach Manhunt status IIRC. Been a hot minute

[cold pumice]

"Rogue Status Ranks

Rogue:

This stage is toggled manually or by cutting an extraction rope. Killing players raises the Agent's Rogue level, and killing enough players raises the Rogue Status to Manhunt. SHD Agents can eliminate Rogue Agents to claim their bounties. As with the first game, the Rogue Status will broadcast your position on the map and it has a timer on it, that you can wait out and claim your reward."

Manhunt rank shows everyone roughly where the Manhunt terminals are, but shows the Rogue exactly where they are.

[hazy flicker]

What’s SHD level? Like Gear Score?

[cold pumice]

Levels beyond 40 using your ShD watch

[hazy flicker]

like Anna level or is that also a separate level too?

[desert thunder]

Is there any way to make that smaller?

[cold pumice]

UI scaling options

[desert thunder]

It not giving me the option to make it smaller

[nimble spruce]

Never heard of 'Anna level' but it's probably the same thing - the watch points you earn after level 40

[whole valley]

How do I get at Elmo’s engine,I tried the legacy manhunt but didn’t get it,as I read it was supposed to be a guarantee drop from it..?

[left ravine]

Targeted loot, not guaranteed

[obtuse smelt]

Best way to get a exotic LMG?

[whole valley]

Ny dlc missions on heroic for bullet king,I got it 2 days ago doing the bank one in ny

[hazy flicker]

I just saw it somewhere when you get Keener’s watch with Anna installed, some new leveling system pops up

[left ravine]

Targeted loot, maybe DZ for Pestilence

[green wyvern]

Yeah we call that shd levels usually btw

[hazy flicker]

I bought the game day 1 and still haven’t played past first mission lol

[whole valley]

I got the iron lung from the summit,from a key lock box

Is blue screen lock behind retaliations still?

[marsh tundra]

never has been, its locked behind lewin manhunt

[whole valley]

The blueprint was,I thought,and was under the impression I couldn’t get one until I unlocked that…?

[marsh tundra]

then its in the loot pool, u can get it with TL lmg

[whole valley]

So I need to do the captain Lewis manhunt first?

[strange harbor]

no

[whole valley]

Never mind I found it

[desert thunder]

Is the Lexington in the loot pool?

[marsh tundra]

no

[desert thunder]

Whats the next best that is not exotic as running the pest

[marsh tundra]

u mean a secondary weapon with pestilence as first ?

[desert thunder]

yes

[marsh tundra]

it depends on the build, whats ur build ?

[marsh tundra]

i suggest you'd buld something else, you can find builds that community made and tested in #td2-build-advice pinned message, you will find way better builds

[cold pumice]

Where did you find that?

[desert thunder]

When the division first dropped without the Memento bag I would run three gila and then one fenris and then the LNG gloves

[whole valley]

I just got the blue screen reconfigure not the blueprint for it,is that intentional ?

[cold pumice]

The blueprint to craft it is only from Retaliation rewards.

When you get an exotic drop, you get the reconfigure blueprint

[whole valley]

I just got the reconfigure print from the manhunt mission,I have not had one before nor do I have the blue print,as why I was asking, literally just got it…

As a reward

It says blue print is the reward for the mission

[marsh tundra]

its bugged, i had the same, once u drop the gun u will get the blueprint with it

[whole valley]

So now it’s in the loot pool??

[marsh tundra]

it should be ye

[whole valley]

So I should target loot in countdown or summit to get on then?

[rugged stratus]

first mistake is looking at shd level, second mistake is assuming there is common sense associated with it . shd just means time at this point

[whole valley]

I am still fairly new at d2 I played the sh$t out of div 1

Sorry for the newb questions…lol

[rugged stratus]

Target loot countdown generally for most farming. It also allows you to buy exotic caches with the credits you earn

On top of the target loot chances

[mossy peak]

I‘m fairly new (about shd 60) and when looking online for build recommendations it get‘s quite confusing. What are your recommendations for a build I can farm for and invest my resources into that I can use for the main things I do, like countdown or control point farming. I‘m also down for fun off meta builds as long as it works

[coral imp]

Try the heartbreaker gearset, it's a tank dps hybrid amazing for any content

Easy to farm too because you have only one attribute to swap out if you wanted to

[mossy peak]

Ty, will give it a shot. Any recommendations on exotic for it, maybe coyotes mask?

[marsh tundra]

the basic build that works for everything is striker, with only this you can go into every mission/raid/incursion/etc

[coral imp]

you can certainly use that, or a memento backpack

the nightwatcher named mask is great for heartbreaker because it gives you 100% pulse haste

or a Forge named holster that gives you 50% shield health if you're going to use one

i'd go for a 4-2 or a 3-3 blue-red core ratio on a heartbreaker build

[mossy peak]

That‘s what I‘ve been using so far but I am struggling with surviving on harder content. Heard a lot about the memento for it but I‘ve had backpack as target this whole time and only gotten like 5 duplicates of another exotic..

Thank you guys!

[coral imp]

good luck

[marsh tundra]

tbh harder content is more about positionning, you will find ways with experience to place yourself in ways you can dps but cant take damage

[cold pumice]

Learning to survive with a full red build is key to playing the game well.

Use full cover, learn spawn points and optimal pathing, use the environment to your advantage to block enemies LoS.

[cold pumice]

It is not. Tanking is not a thing in Div2.

Its just a set that generates slight bonus armour but costs you DPS.

[coral imp]

what role is this build then

[cold pumice]

A poor one.

Far too much blue to be useful in any PvE content.

You would be lucky to kill an enemy in less than 5 minutes with that build on any form of high difficulty.

You'd run out of ammo before you took down a legendary chunga.

And Killer talent there is entirely wasted since you have awful CHC

[cold pumice]

When you said "Heartbreaker is easy to farm because you only need to change one attribute" i was afraid that this is what you would post.

[coral imp]

wdym

[cold pumice]

Heartbreaker (a good heartbreaker build) is notoriously difficult to farm because it requires you to get 2x Red attributes to roll (CHC and CHD) against a Blue core. This will allow you to change it to weapon damage instead of armour to make the set actually viable

[coral imp]

but i don't want chc in this build

[cold pumice]

You absolutely do....you're literally using a crit based talent on BOTH your weapons.

[coral imp]

yeah actually that talent isn't supposed to be there ytou're right

[cold pumice]

But besides that. HB needs crit.

[coral imp]

it doesn't because i'm not looking to do damage

[cold pumice]

Crit isn't optional for a HB build, its a necessity.

If you use the word tank...I'm going to lose it

[coral imp]

tank tank tank i'm tanking

[cold pumice]

You're not. For 2 reasons.

Firstly, you cant draw aggro to yourself in Div 2. Enemies attack the person dealing the most damage. That isn't you.

Secondly, if You're "tanking" You're playing low difficulty

Thirdly. That's not your screenshot. You're not dealing anywhere close to any of those damage numbers with a full blue HB build. Period

[coral imp]

IT IS MY SCREENSHOT I AM JEZUS123

alright whatever

let's all stick to st. elmo's coyote striker

[pseudo tundra]

heartbreaker works fine but i prefer having some reds mixed with, it's definetly the strongest blue set for damage

[coral imp]

yeah i'd go for like a 4-2 blue red ratio with a picaro's for a dps build

[rugged stratus]

Not related to the current conversation, but you can find this communities tested build guides in #td2-build-advice pinned spreadsheet

Didn't know if it was shared yet

[mossy peak]

Ty!

[wispy merlin]

51 minutes roosevelt lego is not the flex you're thinking it is tbh

[coral imp]

not the point

[wispy merlin]

it is relevant when you're trying to make tanking important when it's not, if you do something else that will improve

[bold tiger]

oh the point was you were dead weight for the other 3 people in there?

[coral imp]

wdym dead weight i topped dps

[wispy merlin]

then why is it so slow

[coral imp]

you do realise -1600m damage means i went over 2,146,000 dmg?

[wispy merlin]

yes anyone who runs leg seriously would know

and no, it's 2.14billion, not million

[coral imp]

right

[wispy merlin]

you can deal that amount of damage in less time, so how much damage you're doing as you're showing it isn't the problem

[coral imp]

okay look

the point im trying to make i wasn't even there to deal most damage

[wispy merlin]

then what is it?

[coral imp]

that my build is viable in harder content

[wispy merlin]

okay well, if you're skilled enough you can make any build viable in legendary

it doesn't really say much about the build itself

what really matters at the end of the day is how much time or how much consistency you get out of that build

sure, you don't have to care about time, consistency also matters, but what we're arguing is the build you're showing isn't really making it any much more consistent either

[coral imp]

my attempt was to disprove this message

[wispy merlin]

he is right. you can do any pve content with full red so

if i can solo all legendaries with full red, then he is correct

[coral imp]

wow i bet i'd have like 2000 kills if i went in with a 6 red

[wispy merlin]

300, but yeah

i got 200 kills once in a zoo run carrying 3 ftcs, it's incredible

[coral imp]

allright i guess we can all play how we enjoy at the end of the day

[wispy merlin]

that i agree 100%

[whole valley]

Made it to floor 100 and no exotics dropped…not a good place for them I guess…wow

All on challenging too

[bold tiger]

you talking tempest? on challenging it's probably less than 30% on getting it, considering 45% is on legendary difficulty also depending on what you had target loot as well

[whole valley]

Was looking for the blue screen,but just beat lvl 100

[wispy merlin]

summit isn't really good for finding exotics outside of bighorn and tempest, you wanna farm challenging countdown instead

[whole valley]

Iv done a lot of them runs and only get gear exotics even with targeted loot set to guns…

[inner tendon]

RNGesus is a mean bugger sometimes.

praise lootcifer instead.

[whole valley]

I see that now about not a good exotic farm in the summit as I did all floors and only got 1 the iron lung from a box

Solo tho

[inner tendon]

If you don't care what Exotic you get, the Priority Objectives that reward an Exotic is a fantastically fast farm.

[whole valley]

I am looking for the blue screen,I got the reconfiguration blue print from the manhunt mission, so I was hoping to get one of them…

[inner tendon]

I would still suggest just going for random and hope you get lucky, but by far the fastest way is Chall' Countdown, and buy an Exotic Cache every 2-3 runs for that extra chance.
Oh and don't forget to ask your team, most people instantly decon exotics these days anyway.

[whole valley]

Yeah I don’t have a team…lol

[inner tendon]

You have 7 other Agents in your Countdown group, they are your team.

(most people will use the raid text channel, ignore the group one)

[whole valley]

How do you chat with them?headset in a voice channel ?

[wispy merlin]

there is in game voice chat

or text chat in the raid channel, again also in game

[inner tendon]

I did say "raid text channel".

when you open the chat bar, IIRC you have to hit tab to change it. Raid is neon green.

[whole valley]

Text chat has never worked for me

[bold tiger]

if you don't mind the extra grinding retaliations is another option

[inner tendon]

Define "never worked".

[whole valley]

I press the chat button and nothing pops up

At least the chat button I read on google…might be my problem…lol

[wispy merlin]

which is the enter key right?

[inner tendon]

Enter, yeah

[whole valley]

Yes nothing happens when I press enter

[inner tendon]

fyi: You almost certainly won't get people responding to you if you use the ingame voice system, most people tend to have it muted.

[celest spindle]

check your key binds then

[bold tiger]

nods turned mine off long time ago

[inner tendon]

wait, when are you trying to use the chat? because IIRC the BoO has it turned off.
try it in a group.

[celest spindle]

voice is great, especially when you got someone blasting some techno in the group with an open mic

[wispy merlin]

or grabbing inside their bag of doritos

[inner tendon]

I would take music over the random racist comments I keep getting.
Just my region I guess.

[bold tiger]

i imagine people ran into the few who smacks their lips chowing down on somthing

[celest spindle]

the other night it was a kid sneezing

[inner tendon]

As someone who can't use a mic, there's nothing more infuriating than hearing someone who can, and they're doing it so poorly.

[wispy merlin]

there was a dude who challenged they would beat my build while eating chips and speaking at the same time. you can imagine how it went

[inner tendon]

Oh I just remembered the worst one. Just before the last door at Tidal Basin, someone very clearly was faking have.....intestinal issues. Right into the mic.

[bold tiger]

should've clipped it and be like "hey guys should i accept?" 😹

[wispy merlin]

also i checked in keybinds, there's no way to change chatting away from Enter

[whole valley]

Chat command /

[wispy merlin]

that is just a shortcut for entering chat commands like /invite or /inspect, it's not the same

[celest spindle]

talk about chat.. I still dont know how to whisper people ingame lol

[wispy merlin]

instead of opening the chat with Enter to then type /invite you can just start with / and "invite"

/whisper nickname or /w nickname

[inner tendon]

right-click on their name also works

just, most people who try to PM you will logoff so fast, I'm sure they alt+f4

[whole valley]

Thanks for the info everyone, it’s time I logged off for a bit..be back later…lol

[weak finch]

So... what SMG/AR/LMG has the fastest TIME TO KILL in the entire game? It has to be Ouroboros with full striker stacks, right? No pistols/rifles please

[wispy merlin]

are you assuming only striker as the build? no achilles, no busy little bee, etc.

[weak finch]

Yes, lets assume its only the 'basic' striker build, full stacks, with coyote or even better, with Overdogs

[wispy merlin]

full stacked bighorn against headshottable enemy is my guess

[weak finch]

Ok, lets add 'body shots only', for casuals that play with controller

And lets add a scenario: a typical killing squad in heroic retaliation

[wispy merlin]

okay so it's ttk against a group instead of just one

these details are pretty important to contextualize things

[weak finch]

yes, I know boss thanks for humoring me

[wispy merlin]

you'd favor mag damage a bit more than burst damage for this case, and because of this LMGs are going to have a big advantage, and then in the LMG category you'd probably want a good talent like frenzy. again these are just educated guesses, i'm not paid enough to do math just yet 💀

[weak finch]

I've tried LMGs with the ideal Lengmo/Tipping Scales, AR with the typical recommended yellow builds, and all top tier SMGs. Nothing beats Ouroboros for me. Is it maybe placebo, for the insane RPM? But those yellow armor bars... they melt so fast!

[wispy merlin]

tipping scales isn't really ideal tbh

you don't have enough upfront damage to justify using it, if it's a prolonged fight then sure but a typical kill squad should last only 10-20s

ouro having high rpm does land it among the top spots though, but so does smg-9 and i'd argue smg-9 is a bit stronger in terms of damage, weaker in reload a bit

[weak finch]

I just love Ouro so much... and I know it used to be even more OP before multiple nerfs, can't even imagine

[wispy merlin]

it really only got nerfed once, the one during pts was necessary because it had so high rpm there were hitreg issues

[pseudo tundra]

insane rof lets you squeeze the most out of crits and stacking talents

so people do prefer for "kill fast" stuff like famas and ouroboros as basic setups

but another * to take in consideration in this scenario is chatterbox 5 stacks is better thna ouroboros

if you truly mean with the most min-max i cant give you a guaranteed answer it's A or B

never did the math just know stuff from my gut

[marsh tundra]

i mean, most weapon get crazy good if you can get their talent proc perma

[coral imp]

what are the possible attributes on the vile mask?

[marsh tundra]

exotic attributes are always locked

you can only have the same one on every same exotic

[cold pumice]

Exotic GEAR attributes are locked.

Weapons are not

[coral imp]

no

on acosta's kneepans you can have any attributes and reconfigure

[inner tendon]

Well, just the 3rd attribute you can change on guns, the first 2 on Exotic guns are always locked.

[coral imp]

so i was wondering if vile also has that

[inner tendon]

What happens when you "reconfigure" Accostas knees?

[coral imp]

you get 2 random attributes

it can be any

[left ravine]

Not any. It has limitations

[marsh tundra]

bag or sawyer neepad ?

[inner tendon]

I'd check, but I'm sane so I blended my Accostas Knees.

[coral imp]

kneepads

i see now nvm

[marsh tundra]

thats the only one tho

and u can check on the spreadsheet

[coral imp]

alr

[weak finch]

Yeah I know Chatterbox can reach longer rpm.... but Ouro just works out of the box, second 1. That plus striker bonus, plus seasonal rpm bonus... oh my

[pseudo tundra]

i mean the chatterbox is a reload

[marsh tundra]

a reload in perfect spot, not random

also if you get a chunga it will ruin it

[pseudo tundra]

not if you ninja knee to keep the gun reloading without losing the bonus by doing parkour

i just wanted to make the office parkour joke honestly

[marsh tundra]

ok jim

[cold pumice]

Oh Holy Lengmo 🤣

[bold tiger]

admit it, you photoshopped it to look legit (> <) congrats though o7

[cold pumice]

If only you knew the extent of my photoshop knowledge 🤣

[timid vessel]

just put together a foundry tempest build. I have the chest pc which increases the repair to me and shield to 35%, plus the 1% arm regen from the 3pc, and tier 2 artificer. Using deflector shield at lvl 6 and i have 1.6m armor.

I don't seem to understand when all this supposed repair/healing/regen kicks in? 4th foundry talent makeshift repair says 'whenever you or your shield takes dmg' which sounds to me like that talent should be kicking in every sec, yet I don't seem to see the repairs happening as I'm taking dmg. What am I missing?

[pseudo tundra]

it has a delayed healing

25% of the damage taken recovers over 10s

[rugged stratus]

could there be any weird interaction with the deflector?

[timid vessel]

delayed, so during those 10 secs no other recover kicks in until its over? in other words, 1 bullet hits me or shield, that should kick start the 4th talent, but I have to wait 10 secs for that recover to finish before another 10 sec recover starts?

[pseudo tundra]

no

all stances of healing are active but they are only 25%, so if you take too much damage and then hide, you will get a burst of healing then it wil llsow down

[timid vessel]

but then what about the 1% arm regen, shouldn't that be constant?

[pseudo tundra]

it is

i'm just talking about the talent part

have you played around with the preservation weapon talent?

think of your talent healing as that but automatic

whenver you take damage this icon will appear on the bottom

[timid vessel]

right, so even if i taking dmg i should still be regen'ing armor from the 1%. I guess what I'm getting at is I'm either getting heals from the 4th talent and/or 1% arm regen at all times, no? To test the build I went up against an elite patrol on heroic and was just wiped by the heavy. Nothing was kicking in is what made me confused.

[pseudo tundra]

yes all healing are actives

can you post a screenshot of your items to be sure everything is correct?

for example this is what i just had on my inventory to test that out

[timid vessel]

here u go, everything is min/max'd

[pseudo tundra]

it was not really about the stats, just checking if you didnt swithc one item by mistake

[timid vessel]

i just imagined that going up against the heavy, i would see all the bars - shield, armor, maybe even health just constantly twitching between the heals kicking in and the dmg being taken. But that wasn't the case. 3 secs in I was done as if nothing kicked in.

[pseudo tundra]

could try throwing a nade at your own feet to see the healing doing something

or fire

[timid vessel]

just threw a concuss grenade and it broke the shield. earlier when went to clear a lvl 1 landmrk in dz a red suicide bomber broke the shield and i died from the fire.

maybe the combination between foundry and deflector something is broken

just went up against another elite patrol, that time i saw the heals kick in when the heavy stopped firing

[real zodiac]

what is the current event do ? double brand material upgrade ?

[pseudo tundra]

double brand specific mats

this kind of thing

[rugged stratus]

#lfg-playstation

[weak finch]

I have crafted over 400 masks and still dont have this combination. With this, at least I know it exists

[cold pumice]

Rando CD drop

Wasn't even looking for it

[dusky cosmos]

Guys I have a question about the event pass. If I buy it, will I get all the rewards instantly? If not then when the event ends, can I still earn them if I bought the pass?

[marsh tundra]

u need to lvl up the pass, if you dont then u wont get the rewards

[cold pumice]

No, buying the pas just gives you the noln free rewards once you reach the required level. The pas will disapear after the time runs out

[desert thunder]

dang they took away the lvl 90 farm in summit

[cold pumice]

They didn't?

[desert thunder]

Oh they did killed the 3 bosses loot them got killed whent back killed all 3 and no loot

[cold pumice]

Oh, they didn't.

LEave 1 enemy alive and exit to lobby. Been this way for a long time.

[desert thunder]

I thought they had to kil me out

the last enemy

so i did it wrong lol

[nimble spruce]

the old fl10 farming method required downing yourself after clearing the floor, but you don't get boss loot drops that way

[rocky oar]

what is this bar ?

[pseudo tundra]

i think it's control points you have for the bonus of the season

[ivory sundial]

does purple loot stop dropping on challenging or heroic?

[nimble spruce]

yes in theory, but not entirely in practice

[pseudo tundra]

stop dropping on challenging

[marsh tundra]

drops from npc are never purple in challenging, but some crate will stay on normal level

[nimble spruce]

generally only the target loot bonus drop in some open world crates, but yeah. Also CP loot if you don't claim it the same day I think

[pseudo tundra]

yeah CP can be funky

had some CP from retaliations drop purple stuff

maybe it loads the other instance wrong

[real zodiac]

what do u do with all the cosmetic when you can only wear one

[candid verge]

you can change them from time to time if you want 🙂
I personally don't really care about them, have them but that's all 😄

[spare girder]

AGENT DON'T ABBREVIATE CONTROL POINT!

[pseudo tundra]

You are many years late for that to matter

[real zodiac]

why are ally NPC so weak, loss a CP within the same region when I just capped 5 min ago

[pseudo tundra]

they are not the heroes, you are

[marsh tundra]

if you open it during retal its fine, if you open after it consider sometimes you completed like days priors so it doesnt give normal loot

[rugged stratus]

all i want from retaliation is something i dont think it gives... damn overdogs crafting blueprint... well that and the id holster blueprint

[real zodiac]

mod cannot be/optimized tinker ?

[rugged stratus]

nope

farming leg summit usually suggested. youll get max rolls anyways over time tho

[real zodiac]

what about countdown

[bronze fox]

[high glade]

Farming anything really will eventually net maxed mods over time. The higher the difficulty, the more common higher rolls are typically.

[real zodiac]

dont understand why people keep calling heli so early at the final phase, when we still have 2~3 min
even in heroic run

[slim elk]

If you take a look at the guy who fired the flare you'll see that either they're running a tank build or is a very new player.

[nimble spruce]

I've seen experienced players say you're better off loot-per-minute wise to exit early and start that next countdown rather than wait a couple of mins for a few extra pieces

[real zodiac]

but drop chance is from killing enemies, wat is the pt of starting a new run when u have to spend more time running between objectives

[toxic gorge]

Just wanted to say thank all of you ive learned a lot still learning and grinding tho

[karmic compass]

I am level 08 - I see regular requests for help and I want to help others out but I don't want to get into a situation where I'm facing level 40 AI because the call for help came from someone much higher than I am. Is there a way to tell what I'm getting into?

[kind cove]

Sometimes you see the mode and difficulty but really you should just wait till level 40

[bold tiger]

not that i know of

i'd tack on wait until 40 and you got a good build

[karmic compass]

So if it says Freeroam it can be anything? I know I've seen some where it says, foe example, District Union Arena (Heroic) - I know that I need to stay away from lol. Also what is freeroam? Just someone who is not on a specific mission, so could be attacking convoys, control points etc?

[real zodiac]

one of the contaiment zone i can give her BSDV key or something ? wat then ?

[timid vessel]

check youtube videos

[marsh kite]

Anyone can help me get the ouroboros exotic ? Or does it drop anywhere else besides the incursion?

[timid vessel]

only incursion

[real zodiac]

these color mean anything ?

[pseudo tundra]

I think blue is clan related

Trying to remember the orange one

[slim elk]

daily?

[pseudo tundra]

might be, honestly dont remember

[wispy merlin]

ye it is

[spare girder]

Can I apply my SR-1's headhunter talent to the 1886 rifle?

[slim elk]

Determined*
Yes, Determined is also available for Rifles.

[inner tendon]

If you're asking if the Talent will work on other guns, if it's not on those guns: no.

[real zodiac]

wat about tinkerer

[inner tendon]

Still no, because it has to be on the same Weapon type.

MMR and Rifles are 2 different gun types.

It's a good question though!

[solemn sandal]

Hi, i just missed the manhunt for the tinkerer exotic mask if I do the legacy manhunt will it still drop?

[inner tendon]

@solemn sandal Yep! You will get a guaranteed drop on finishing it at Master Mode, and a chance for it to drop on any difficulty below that.
Same goes for the Birdie Manhunt.

[solemn sandal]

Just to clarify it’s not this season’s manhunt correct so I just have to head to potomac and clear it the first time then do Master Mode?

[inner tendon]

Yep! Same goes for all past Manhunts that have a Master mode.

[solemn sandal]

Thank you! Welp I thought had to do the seasons manhunt first

[inner tendon]

It wouldn't be div2 if it wasn't just the hard side of confusing.

We love it.

[solemn sandal]

I was 6 weeks far in this seasons manhunt and I was like I feel like im doing something wrong 😅

[inner tendon]

I'm holding off on this Season's Scouts, since they award Season Pass XP, mine is already done, and I can instead use that XP for the Stretch goals later on.

should've done the same thing for Journeys, but watchagonnado.

[desert thunder]

So I found Yannick boss location is there other ones on the map

[sterile hatch]

hi can i get ( chill out mask ) rn ?

[marsh tundra]

blue are clan bounties, orange is daily bounties

[celest spindle]

Hey folks, could someone please help me understand what these green numbers are? They appear when I click the 'mod' button in the UI. I dont see these numbers when normally looking at skills.

[marsh tundra]

its the difference u will get if you equip the gear/mod you have selected

[celest spindle]

oh! so that includes all the skill tiers too

[marsh tundra]

yes it includes everything

[celest spindle]

tyty

[marsh tundra]

be careful if you're in combat, it also includes buffs you get

[dusky cosmos]

Guys what happens if you buy the season bundle in the middle of the levels? Will it advance 20 more or does it only work for the first 20 levels?

[nocturne siren]

Unsure. It'll likely advance you 20 levels from whatever level you're at

[cold pumice]

+20 levels from your current point

[bronze fox]

Gm folkz

[thick holly]

Good morning

[karmic compass]

What are the 4 circles/dots below "Incoming Call" ? Do they indicate something?

[bold tiger]

how many people are in the party atm

[rugged stratus]

zealot build cache kinda meh. not hard tro make usable ig

[green wyvern]

best part tbh is ridgeways so you dont need to farm it from summit or get someone to share to you

[rugged stratus]

yeah thats a good point

[green wyvern]

but if you get a better branded bag with normal wicked a smg with sadist and reroll all the other pieces itll do decently

[pseudo tundra]

well considering it's made for new players

definetly a fast track to get ridgeway

[ivory sundial]

does rifle damage apply to The bighorns alt fire?

[wispy merlin]

no

[pseudo tundra]

it still counts as AR

[karmic compass]

Thank you. So one can have a party larger than 4? (I assume if I answered the call I'd be #5?

[wispy merlin]

i don't think that has meant anything. you can't join to be a 5th, max party size besides for some content is 4

[marsh tundra]

no u would get an error message

[karmic compass]

Gotcha, thanks!

[cold pumice]

All content except raids and countdown is 4 people.

[desert thunder]

Is there a Perfect Obliterate and what gear set is it under?

[inner tendon]

There isn't one.

Knowing how terrible named chests are overall, it would probably be shackled to 5.11 or something.

[cold pumice]

It would 100% be on a 5.11 chest piece.

[jade ridge]

Need someone on floor 50 summit to let me join

[solemn sandal]

Hi does anyone know like a spreadsheet for expertise?

[timid vessel]

why can the artificer hive heal the shield or any other player's skills without having to drop it, but not the heal hive?

[bold tiger]

probably a balance thing

[pseudo tundra]

probably doesnt interact properly with same type of skill since you cant have both at the same time equipped

[slow oriole]

when it comes to filling out your optimization library, is it better farm stuff on challenging or heroic countdown?

or i guess a better way to word that; is it better to farm challenging or heroic countdown for higher stat drops?

[slim elk]

The answer to both is: no difference at all.
It's easier and faster to get stuff on challenging and Heroic is just full of dudes who think the difference is abysmal for some reason

At the end of the day it's just about RNG.

[real zodiac]

why is the ADS leveling so weird, looking at the 3d model i should able to see above the car, but actual ADS is like at my chest level

[wispy merlin]

first person view uses your gun's actual pov now instead of your character's head

[peak iris]

Does anyone know if overdogs are dropping once you own them? I accidently dismantled mine like a fool. Been grinding retaliation for exotic caches, running priority objectives and grinding gloves on countdown, but no luck. Expected or bad RNG?

[slim elk]

uhmm IIRC you can't get another pair I might be wrong

[strange harbor]

I don't think they drop at all

[cold pumice]

They changed it so that they no longer enter the lootpool after unlocking them.

Sorry but, you're waiting until next season

[golden lily]

I'm new to the game but does it happen to you guys as well that you just get disconnected for no reason?

[warm crest]

guys should I update to windows 11?

[celest spindle]

I run TD2 just fine on linux

when is support from MS ending on Win10? today?

[cold pumice]

Tomorrow

[celest spindle]

rip windows

[tardy fog]

how do i do manhunt im confused by week 1 objective 1 where it ask me to resupply the theater vendor but i dont know where

oh nvm i just had to sell gears

[mossy peak]

hey, I just did a control point, looted it, reset it and then did it again. After that the supply room was still looted so i couldnt even open the yellow crate. Whats the reason for that, thought you could farm them

[slim elk]

no you can't, they refill every 24 hours

[rugged stratus]

you farm the blueprints from completing the cp. you also get frd as a completion reward

level 3 and 4 controlpoints anyways

[true brook]

is it normal that sometimes enemies have a lot more health?

[bold tiger]

kind of a bug with their captains or leaders or something

[next inlet]

#1 what summit floor is it where it spawns 3 bosses, and would it be better to put a bunch of directives to be able to get the bighorn or is it the same drop chance either way?

[slim elk]

F90, and it's the same, I don't think anything like TL or Directives increase Bighorn's drop rate neither do I think it'll take more than 10 minutes

It also has to be on legendary*

[next inlet]

WHAT? My luck most suck cause I tried doing that for like a good 10 hours on console 😭

And it was like a good 5 min each run

[slim elk]

I got it in less than 10 lolol

[next inlet]

With 4 directives…

[slim elk]

I guess rng hates you

[next inlet]

😭 it hates me for different things on each platform

Like on pc it’s legit giving me maxed out mods like candy for dps builds but I can’t seem to get anything I need for the FI build

It was the opposite for console cause I get everything almost immediately

Is there an easy way to get to floor 90? Like can I get the checkpoint from someone? Cause no one is doing summit on pc apparently

[mellow trout]

You can

[cold dirge]

Has Ubisoft ever explained why they haven't added crossplay/cross progression, which they have done in other games?

[slim elk]

Yes, issues with the game's architecture and they stated "will never add it to Division 2" in simple words

[real zodiac]

just bought red eye pack through steam how do i claim it ?

[inner tendon]

The usual solution is to relog/restart everything, and check your Inbox, via your Stash.

[cold pumice]

Don't run directives farming for bighorn. It has no effect

[next inlet]

Really? Wow, what about if I’m trying to get bighorn and st Elmo’s both at the same time, would it effect the drop chance for that gun or no?

[slim elk]

TL and directives do affect other weapons/gear so you should do that if you want Elmo's

[next inlet]

Betttt thanksss, honestly that’s the only gun that I need rn cause I’m too squishy with this loadout

Can carry but it’s 50/50 ngl

[cold pumice]

Remove turmoil. You do not want them.

[next inlet]

Not turmoil

Just regular knee pads, just incase I ever want to use turmoil yk

[cold pumice]

You dont. You also dont want Striker chest, stacks are wasted because you cant keep them up reloably

Ceska oblit chest, overdogs gloves, 4pc strikers

[next inlet]

Yeah it’s just for incursion, also, I legit just speedrun missions so my stacks are always up lol

[next inlet]

Legit like 2 hours with 3 other people and only got one drop for one of them lol

[cold pumice]

Its a flat 5% drop rate, so its could take a while.

[delicate tartan]

Is there a way to reset manhunt or deactivate after activate so i dont see tasks....

I dont need to play it because after season i can access manhunt mission directly so..... after i figured out where 🙂

[nimble spruce]

@nocturne reef this would be best in #divashion

[raven mountain]

it is normal, not a bug, is because of this

[junior sequoia]

Nice job with the scammer

[brazen arrow]

Hello everyone, I just started playing td2 a week ago, could someone explain to me why would I ever use a smg instead of an ar? ARs seem to be the superior option at all ranges and against all types of enemies. ty in advance <3

[mellow trout]

Some SMGs are very potent

The vector comes to mind

[kindred ice]

Hello
What is the best way to kill manning zoo legendary end boss other than "hugging" them?
It seems that they are invulnerable even if we destroyed their weak points

[cedar schooner]

They're just that tanky, speed runners have basically just agreed the HP is way overtuned and treat the "gunshoving"/"hugging" as "glitch less"

Ravenous blue stacks would probably be the best thing you could do

[cold pumice]

SMGs are superior at close range. Also, innate 21% CHC.

[charred shore]

The known issues board had this listed a while back and then moved it to the "fix live" section. Im not entirely sure what this means as I am at 100 in the pass and havent noticeably received any additional rewards during the x2 event.

[wild patio]

I have my SB proficient, and I am proficiency level 1. When I go to the SB section of the expertise page, I can upgrade everything except my backpack, which isn't listed. Why isn't it there?

[pseudo tundra]

You need proficiency level 10 with an item, going to assume you meant expertise, tem be sure just post a screenshot of the menu you are having trouble with

[candid verge]

Rank 10 means proficient, then you can start increase the grade, that's the expertise level
if you have a named backpack, you might not find under the brand, but under the backpack section

under backpacks you can find only exotics and named items, but if your backpack is not named, you should find it under the brand

[wild patio]

It's the striker's pack, all of the other striker's gear is there in the strikers expertise menu, but only the pack is missing

The pack has the little star icon in the inventory showing that it's proficient

[cold pumice]

Can you screen shot it, because I've never had an issue

[candid verge]

gearsets are all in the same place, but you can upgrade only items that are in your inventory

[wild patio]

It is equipped and proficient but not in the striker's menu

[candid verge]

scroll down

[wild patio]

there's no scroll

[candid verge]

press down arrow or letter S

or use the mouse on the scroll bar on the right

mouse scroll for some reason doesn't work

[wild patio]

ugh, thank you. The UI for this feature is a mess. Mouse scroll doesn't work in some menus, but also why can't I get to the expertise upgrade for a specific piece directly from the piece itself.

you can even click and drag the scroll bar

[cold pumice]

Because it was purposefully designed to be as annoying and awkward as possible to enhance the grind

[nimble spruce]

It is very odd that they went to the trouble of adding a new interface to let you recalibrate and optimise an item directly from the item itself (well after expertise was added as a feature) but don't let you expertise it from the same menu.

[rugged stratus]

-# looks like we get another week

Grand Washington Hotel is invaded this week.
Perfect week to start the Nemesis project, or get that blueprint you been waiting for.

After you get the Tidal Basin piece , change mode for invaded stronghold back to invaded. Complete again for another nemesis piece (stronghold dependent). With any 2 pieces in hand, set GWH back to invaded and the blueprint will drop. Nemesis can be farmed from Marksman Rifle Target Loot after that, regardless of project completion.

[gleaming wigeon]

Does Determined talent have a time limit between shots? 🤔

[nimble spruce]

No, only cooldown time is when you use it to kill a warhound or minitank that takes a few extra seconds to 'die'

[gleaming wigeon]

Ok thanks, I'm trying to put the build together as the Shroud is hit and miss tbh

[nimble spruce]

Shroud is great for starting a hh chain, and occasional tough enemies like rogues, but a regular mmr with determined will do enough for the rest of the time and doesn't require much aim.
It is satisfying to learn to headshot properly and consistently though

[pseudo tundra]

thats why i dont use determined

[gleaming wigeon]

Hmm, Maybe Determined is too much cheese for vets but I'm fairly new so enjoying it a lot

[delicate tartan]

Is there a mission list of manhunt missions of all ?

[pseudo tundra]

With missions you mean old seasons main missions or seasonal scouts?

You can all the old manhunt missions

[tall scroll]

okay why is it that determined builds are so punishing to operate. you get punished so hard if you miss or if you do not have enough damage via chainkiller

[rugged stratus]

its punishing like that because people been using determined as a crutch for actual skill, and when they miss they get a taste of what its actually like using an mmr/rifle headhunter setup. tbh, it should be much more punishing... the damage output is stupid high for stacks you can maintain blind firing and turning toes/knees/asses into heads. jmho

im guilty of falling for determined as well. but it gets boring fast. its more rewarding using something like mantis and maintaining your buff without cheese

[tall scroll]

boring not at that phase yet. It just frustrating as you lose determined so easily and hitting a moving target is threading the needle there. It does feel good when it really stop working. Also, my poor aim really can't do much with rifle to begin with. Determined is what even lets me use rifles.

[wispy merlin]

it's funny that i deliberately run without determined in all my videos and yet still get hackusations...

determined is just hacks but legal

[pseudo tundra]

pretty much

[tall scroll]

given how a majority? of people have poor aim. I think it is completely justified. Not everyone has good aim. Of course scope-in and being patient would also work but has massive drawbacks such as being flanked (due to also having lack of situational awareness)

[pseudo tundra]

Well determined is bugged amd devs couldnt fix it without causing more issues

[wispy merlin]

not having good aim isn't justification, it's just lack of skill, and not having situational awareness is also a lack of skill

[pseudo tundra]

It isnt meant to reset every shot

[wispy merlin]

not everyone has good aim, not everyone should use headhunter, both can be true

[pseudo tundra]

Seeing someone say that one of the easiest amd strongest builds is punishing can be a headscratcher

[wispy merlin]

i find it hilarious you're literally using legal hacks and still complaining that it's punishing

[tall scroll]

when you lose determined and not have enough damage to headshot and you hitting really tiny targets. I am not exactly really having good time. Also playing with enemeies some serious health pools or life.

[rugged stratus]

you should try crit nego with m1a. its not the one shots like headhunter, but you can melt stuff pretty good with nego

[pseudo tundra]

well thats how snipers are by default, high risk high reward about headshots

[tall scroll]

that legit sounds a lot better than the headshot build not going to lie

[pseudo tundra]

determined is no risk all reward

you could try more close ranged builds also with shield and shotguns classic hunter's fury

[tall scroll]

and I still stuggle to clear heroic content with it. Red build are just pain for me in general

[rugged stratus]

one good addition i think would be a solid backup weapon. shotguns can help get hh proc back while being solid close range weapons. if im using a highend mmr, ill run st elmo as my secondary. elmo can use its stability combined with the build to laser heads... gives it damage comparable to a traditional dps

[pseudo tundra]

you can focus on bodyshot more

[rugged stratus]

lately i just been using mantis as mmr, so its usually like glue as the backup instead

[pseudo tundra]

being able to have an almost infinite decoy is just great

[wispy merlin]

it's one of the few things they got right: buffing mantis

[rugged stratus]

fr. mantis is pretty solid.

im gonna run that setup when golden bullet comes around again

[tall scroll]

what is kind of stupid is that the determined build that I running is functionally just shotgun build with rifle or MMR. I end up being too close the enemy anyways

[rugged stratus]

what do you use for skills on it

[tall scroll]

decoy and revive hive. On the rifle I use shield in place of decoy.

[rugged stratus]

do you have emp sticky?

[tall scroll]

not on the character I have why?

[rugged stratus]

with it being able to instant deploy where you are aiming, it might be a good backup plan to stagger an enemy when you lost proc. gives and extra couple moments with predictable movements to pick the proc back up

i use that on most non skill builds specifically for a stagger

[wispy merlin]

ngl even i don't use emp sticky fast enough for that

[rugged stratus]

no, you use regulus for that 😂

[wispy merlin]

no i mean i can't even react fast enough to emp sticky someone for stagger, when they're close enough

[rugged stratus]

its only a double click at something youre already aiming at

[wispy merlin]

no i know but it's when they're already moving that it becomes a problem. but it's just a me issue dw

roterblitz does use it a ton and he's a much better player than me

[rugged stratus]

oic. im used to using it in that form i think.. granted, its mostly its split second air shots, but its also my shtf backup when i need a sec. alot of times ill pop the floor, its not always direct hit

then again, your operating range is 30cm or less from npc

[wispy merlin]

sometimes they don't even get staggered. white tusk npcs when in cover also refuse to be staggered from sticky specifically

when it works, it works really well tho

[rugged stratus]

yeah, legs a bit harder

[tall scroll]

yep and everytime I use this build I just become a massive target that can't fight back when things go pear shaped. Also, not sure if I am going to be fast enough to emp

[pseudo tundra]

are you playing in group or solo for legendary?

[tall scroll]

solo. Group will increase the hp of the enemies to the point where the build become super useless. At that point there is no point running determined. This happen even on heroic

[pseudo tundra]

well legendary was not made for solo, so that is going to be an uphill battle

[tall scroll]

the build when full stack barely has enough damage to kill a elite or named unit on a good day. But I am looking the really bad days too and they are not exactly great.

[wispy merlin]

as a tangent, one of the devs (before the new dev team took over) did say "you can solo legendary" (whatever that means), when everyone knows solo legendary scaling is the worst thing ever.

not saying that it is designed to be soloable, more like why would he say it when it's unreasonably difficult for most people

[tall scroll]

usually i throw my builds (as a small litmus test) into a solo legendary to see if it can surivive the first room of tidal basin.

[wispy merlin]

to be fair, tidal basin stage 1 is among the harder tests for hh builds

if anything zoo stage 1 is much easier for hh

crit automatic builds like striker/TS will perform much better on tidal stage 1

[tall scroll]

I am mostly checking all my build but yeah you make good point.

[tall scroll]

small counterpoint is that the build does need to handle getting push hard and you have little to no space sometimes. But it is a pretty unfair test.

[wispy merlin]

it's probably among the very top end of unfair tests lol

[whole valley]

Anyone have the summit floor 100 I can join please?

Going for the temptest

[pseudo tundra]

#lfg-pc

[whole valley]

@pseudo tundra no response there …

[worldly fjord]

then youre definitly not getting any responses here

[cold pumice]

Bro said it like its a choice 😭

[whole valley]

No I said it as in I did post it there after I was told to,but have gotten zero responses ,do not put words in my mouth thank you!

[cold pumice]

Perhaps thats because nobody has it available.... 👍

[whole valley]

That or steam players are just mean…lol

[whole valley]

I have this game from Ubisoft but my email got compromised so I had to buy it from steam…it was pretty easy to get on the ubi account …

[cold pumice]

Steam and ubisoft aren't seperate.

All PC versions play through ubisoft connect

[inner tendon]

@whole valley What they're trying to say, is that it doesn't matter if you don't get a response in the proper place, you still aren't allowed to LFG anywhere you feel like it.
Just give it time.

[whole valley]

I got that message with the first message to post it in the right channel,I’m not an idiot…

I started my journey in the summit and have made it to floor 25 I’m on my way…thanks tho

[inner tendon]

To avoid future confusion, just post in the right area, and then no one feels dumb!
you got this, Agent

Are you trying to LFG in the Summit for a particular reason, or just "farming"?

[whole valley]

The temptest pistol

[inner tendon]

Yeah you're better off keeping an eye out for a pre-made group, plenty of people will be farming for it.
Or give it a couple of weeks, and then you can get it from the Manhunt Climax mission.

[whole valley]

Was looking for the floor 100 checkpoint at least…lol

[pseudo tundra]

there are still people farming for it, it will pop up from time to time in the LFG channels

[inner tendon]

Div2 mostly follows american times for the player-base, so try asking when they're active.

[whole valley]

I’m an American …in ny state…lol

[inner tendon]

I'm australian, I assume people are just from "elsewhere" on here.
We even have some kiwis!

[light prairie]

right now how can i get lullaby exotic

[cold pumice]

From buying the pack in the game store

Although the Lullaby is just a skin, foir the Sweet Dreams shotgun

[rugged stratus]

City , "upstate", or true upstate (Canada south)?

[whole valley]

Western ny near buffalo

[median heath]

what does the orange symbol mean

[wispy merlin]

hardcore

[reef solstice]

Is it possible to get a exoitc drop on normal difficulty?

[karmic hawk]

Possible, yes. Drop chances are often 1% on normal.

[reef solstice]

Thanks

[cold pumice]

Possible yes. Viable. No.

[reef solstice]

K thanks

[marsh tundra]

means if you die you cant be revived and your character is deleted

[celest spindle]

is HDR permanently disabled?

[wispy merlin]

too pro

[near ridge]

is thinkerer in regular exotic pool now ?

[pseudo tundra]

Nope

Well if its dropping somewhere else it isnt meant to be doing that

Still from manhunt manager mission on potomac

[rugged stratus]

i used to be about an hour from montreal, ne corner right on the lake. 🍻

[rugged stratus]

where do i report this menace for harassment... keeps pushing me around, acting like he own the place

[inner tendon]

@rugged stratus Rule 12 😉

[near ridge]

So i just have to do that misson untill it drops ?

[nimble spruce]

Master difficulty has a guaranteed drop on your first completion (you'll need to run it once on a lower difficulty to unlock Master though)

[near ridge]

Ah

Tought master was one off thing that ends on new manhunt

[nimble spruce]

The last three season manhunt missions all have master difficulty

[solemn sandal]

Hello just wanted to ask besides doing the tasks people said cd is the best to farm exotics for components? Necessarily is doing cd on heroic the better choice? Or just challenging is good enough?

[nimble spruce]

Challenging is good enough for countdown

[solemn sandal]

Thank you brother!

[cold pumice]

Heroic countdown is for pre made experienced groups.

Not really great for randos. And the loot isn't much better.

[solemn sandal]

I see thank you!

[kind cove]

We still haven’t gotten news on that new survivors thing right? Man Im worried that the snow dc map will be exclusive to a pvp mode

[pseudo tundra]

i think it was for next year no?

[kind cove]

They said they would reveal info this October

My biggest concern honestly is just the same thing as descent where its a hyper specific mode and I don’t want to play it, Im worried the snow map will be basically exclusive to this survival 2.0

[pseudo tundra]

well there should be a stream to show off the halloween stuff, they did one of the easter and summer right?

[bold tiger]

another option if you can stomach it is to do priority objectives with exotic rewards. i usually aim for them in strongholds

[sinful prairie]

Does anyone know if there is an issue with the Brooklyn DLC? I can not travel to Brooklyn for some reason???

[nimble spruce]

[sinful prairie]

Thanks

[floral temple]

I really want the Tinkerer mask but I can't beat the mission solo is anyone able to help me or know someone who can

[nimble spruce]

@floral temple use #lfg-playstation and/or try calling for backup ingame

[proud frigate]

Have anybody experience their stash having the wrong cap...it says 442/400

[nimble spruce]

it's a side effect of the brooklyn issue, probably best not to touch anything in your stash until it's resolved

[proud frigate]

Ok

Thx

[near ridge]

best talent set up for lmgs with thinkerer exotic ?

[slim elk]

if you're running OD Tinkerer then Sadist + Killer for solo play

[near ridge]

running new one

[slim elk]

huh?

[wispy merlin]

what is the new one

[near ridge]

tipping scales

[wispy merlin]

then you want sadist + pressure point

[near ridge]

what ab frenzy and fast hands

with mk46 i have 130 rounds + 1k rpm so i can chain frenzy

[dawn wave]

What exactly is a "fan kit"?

[near ridge]

atm i get 39 rof and dmg if i empty reload

[near ridge]

if i swap out my mag for it gose to 51-57% depending on with ammo cap mag i equip

[slim elk]

you have to dump one full mag to "activate" Frenzy

so I'd say it's not that good

[near ridge]

Sets whole gimmic is holding m1

But it seems fast hands dont work

[pseudo tundra]

Art, icons and other art and other details of the season

[dawn wave]

ah

[near ridge]

yea i like ferenzy i just need more damage

[marsh tundra]

boosted character ? did you complete all side mission ?

well, side missions unlock bounties locations

[dusky cosmos]

Is there a way to send equipments to a different character of ours?

[marsh tundra]

also wtf is bounty cheesing ?

[marsh tundra]

put it in the stash, its shared

[dusky cosmos]

Ahh nice ty

[dusky cosmos]

Does boosting a character create issues?

[marsh tundra]

u dont need that, on heroic they all spawn on consitution hall so its super fast to clear

[marsh tundra]

usually it shouldnt if u boost

its not really closer but sure

[dusky cosmos]

How do I claim journey rewards?

Like where in the menu

[nimble spruce]

Main menu - seasons tile - journey tab

[dusky cosmos]

I'm there but idk how to claim anything

Like what button do I press on pc

[marsh tundra]

the button to press is on screen when selecting the journey/mission, by default its x iirc

[pseudo tundra]

The prompt should be on the bottom

[pastel bane]

I recently completed the campaign and reached level 40. I am confused about the order of events after finishing i think it was tidal basin? A guide I found online said my next steps were the "apprehend President ellis" and "take down emeline shaw at the zoo" missions, but the shaw mission isnt showing on my map. The mission for the zoo is rescuing someone named mari, who I dont believe ive met yet. Is this a result of seasonal content, and if so how do I disable it and return to "normal" progression?

[pseudo tundra]

if you hover over that mission there should be a prompt in the bottom of the screen to change the mission mode

same way you go from invaded to regular

there is the an menu on the manhunt menu that lets you see old manhunt missions, they should be in order starting from jupiter

cant activate week 2 scout??

[nimble zenith]

Guys, i spoke to snitch few days ago and it said vendor opens in 1.5 days or something like that. Now the vendors are gone from map. Someone told me they stay up for whole week. Can anyone explain if they are on a timer or something? Can i find new snitch to get the vendors to open again? How does it work? Thanks

[tender aspen]

there's a weekly reset on tuesday that resets the snitch and the vendor, just find the snitch and you should be fine

[tender aspen]

you have to deactivate the other scout that you're working on

[nimble zenith]

I found him after reset but the vendors opened in 1d Xh as i remember. So i checked today and they are gone

weird...

There is still a patchwork clutch. Please correct the infinite oxidizer of luck in the meaning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ws68Sh5DEo

Is it possible to glitch an exotic to look like different brand mask?

[gleaming wigeon]

If I'm after a particular named item is it better to select that brand from the targeted loot or select the type of gear ie a backpack in this case?

[cold pumice]

Brand as it significantly narrows down the loot pool

[gleaming wigeon]

Ok thanks 👍

Requested screenshots.

[cold pumice]

That is nothing to do with Heroic, that is a UI bug. You're getting +125% xp.

[heavy grove]

okay

will reboot the game remove it?

[pseudo tundra]

you have a sixth phantom directive

[cold pumice]

^ There are currently only 5 directives. The sixth one is a weird UI bug that may or may not be removed by restarting the game

[heavy grove]

Well hopefully that fixes it otherwise how can you trust you get the right things if that can happen

[cold pumice]

Directives have been broken for a while, I wouldn't couint on it 🤣

[heavy grove]

I see

They dont fix bugs at massive? I guess nothing changed from div 1
