dang

[inner tendon]

Well, it depends on the pulse, they do different things.
The Jammer one works on proxies/skills.

the laser underbarrel pulse helps you deal loads of damage with the right talent/gearset.

[bold tiger]

the achilles pulse is used in most speed run techniques to basically 1 phase bosses or something

[drowsy needle]

I forgot about Achilles I did a count down with it and we one shot the hunter haha

[bold tiger]

same here. i solo and never use pulse really 😹

[mellow trout]

very niche skill but good at what it does

can 'headshot' headless targets

[bold tiger]

can you use nightwatcher with it too? 🤔

[drowsy needle]

With determined and chainkiller your a pulse nuke

[mellow trout]

iirc nightwatcher is specifically for scanner pulse

when i say headshot i just mean the hsd cuz it doesnt technically count as one

[drowsy needle]

I think they’ve changed it cause I remember years ago it was just pulse.

[bold tiger]

wouldn't you know it i dont' have a nightwatcher 😹

[mellow trout]

+100 percent scanner pulse haste last i checked

spreadsheet corroborates

[novel drift]

btw what does pluse haste do?

i never understood what it actually is

[slim elk]

pulse haste? how fast the cooldown will be

[novel drift]

so like skill haste but just for the pulse?

[slim elk]

yeah

[novel drift]

huh..

okay thanks for the info

what a weird thing to have

[steep void]

Except heartbreaker r there any build that can take advantage of underbarrel laser?

[strange harbor]

Just put flatline on any dps build and it helps

[oak gazelle]

there is also Spotter on the chest, you can just use Striker with a Ceska chest with Spotter and Flatline for example
it's like free multipliers without anything other than aiming at the enemy

[novel shard]

I use pluse for my fun build and to get a feel of old school division 1

[real cypress]

im kinda bummed out that we didnt get a crit pulse like in D1 at least in BFB

[novel shard]

Yeah the only thing comes close to it is spotter

I use pluse for my fun build

[turbid sapphire]

laser isa just generaly a good mod. if you dont need it to hit a stat value, it essential marks an enemy for you and your team. its good in a game where shadows environment is common

being able to see an enemy with pulse will tell you enemy type, which is very useful. everything from demo drone targets, to knowing if its a chungus or even where the drone girl is hiding
worth noting, decoy pulses targets and turrt and striker drone mark them as well but different. you can tell their general shape (strong) and see their position through walls. I dont know is other skills do, I dont use them

[pseudo tundra]

the ACS one?

it's for the new refferal program

[oak gazelle]

the Stack Broker? I thought this is gonna be a new veteran item?

[nocturne siren]

Referral program-

Yes I'll tell each and every one of my imaginary friends to get jobs and buy div so I can get me a new shotgun

[hazy flicker]

just drag the OG squad out. They will help you lol

[nocturne siren]

the only squad I got is my one friend and bro is living life in north carolina rn 😭

[hazy flicker]

my OG squad left to PC and are ARC raiding… I really don’t want to buy Division or any of my Xbox games again just to play them on PC (basically restarting the whole grind from lvl 1 with each game if I do rip)

at least my Ubisoft club and special rewards from Div 1 carried over (tested it and had a fully kitted Div 1 agent with splinter cell goggles on lol)

[nocturne siren]

id rebuy div 2 just to experience the lower shd brackets for dz. im tired of going into the dz above shd 1k and being met with cheaters/griefers or just dead in general

[novel shard]

My friends who left this game and as well being the founders of the clan I'm in left during the DMG glitch when iron horse came out and everyone got rolled back 2 weeks

[upper inlet]

where are my factions? can you guys help me what I did wrong?

[compact cairn]

You might need to go engage them in WONY/Brooklyn

[upper inlet]

im in brooklin now, retaliating, will go to ny later. bbl

[minor ferry]

what day does the snitch and cassie mendoza spawn in?

[pseudo tundra]

snithc is always on the map

cassie and the other vendor i cant remember their rotation times

[nocturne siren]

@sleek socket @dire radish im on a different character, just did the mission on normal. I havent done it on mastery on this one, so yes, it does show that you can redo the mission on a seperate character and still get the exotics

[compact cairn]

I believe they should be open today.

[wheat stag]

How to get lexington AR

[marsh tundra]

stretch goal starting tomorrow

[wheat stag]

What is strech goal?

[marsh tundra]

bonus season pass reward

[wheat stag]

will it have lexington?

[slim elk]

most probably

[sleek socket]

Thank you for the confirmation! I will give it another shot when I get home, and find a group who can make it to the end. Thanks again!

[candid verge]

Yes, it will, it’s in the patch notes

[wheat stag]

is that the only way?

[candid verge]

To get Lexington? Yes AFAIK

[wheat stag]

K ty

[oak gazelle]

scouts, 3 in mission and then you should be at 14/15 which is max

The Pact collectible list currently displays space for 15 seasonal comms. Only 14 are actually available. There is no 15th comm to find. The display will be corrected to show the correct total.
https://trello.com/c/Bxi1UZS2

[nocturne siren]

Yes. Make sure you're season pass level 100 before tomorrow

[wheat stag]

yeah i got level 100 yesterday

[nocturne siren]

You're set to grind for tomorrow when stretch goals go live 👍

The best method is doing Prio Objectives as strongholds but they may have made changes to allow better payout so it's all up to what you complete quickest and efficiently

I'm not sure what activities they added and what values they've changed. All I know is I read in patch notes previously they made freedom of play a bit better and reward rate a bit higher too (lex, turmoil, etc)

[candid verge]

You can check in the comms if it’s shows discovered then you can mark it as objective

If I recall the first one is past the first gate on the right of the pit. 2nd on the hovercraft and the 3rd is right before you enter the last section 🤔

[coral charm]

Didn’t get a chance to look at anything regarding the PTS, they have any new exotic weapons in there?

[pseudo tundra]

2

you can read about them in #patch-notes

but one is a rifle that stacks heals on headshots that you can shot someone to heal and get a guaranteed headshot buff

and a shotgun with super accuracy and improved better stats

[somber pumice]

If I’m sitting around like 52 % ish crit chance is it much of a loss at all to not cap it off at 58 for some weapon handling? Didn’t feel like much in the field but you never know

[minor ferry]

the new PTS exotics will be in the stretch goals???

[pseudo tundra]

no

it's not even out

[candid verge]

Those are for next season

[minor ferry]

Ok another question: how long will the stretch goals last? more than a week?

[cold pumice]

Getting as close to 60% CHC as possible is important for crit builds.

[minor ferry]

Ive seen some goons going around saying having just 50% is good enough and u dont need any more CHC after that (and they were not referring to builds with coyotes). They're prolly wrong tho ngl

[cold pumice]

I likely know exactly who you're referring to.

[minor ferry]

lmao

[pseudo tundra]

Rank Up arrives on November 18 and runs until December 2.

[somber pumice]

if it's just a standard high end build with GC/Vigilance does that work. I don't notice much of a TTK difference in field play (note im also a casual that clears master mode once per season with friends).

[minor ferry]

ty

[somber pumice]

i mostly do heroic content (sometimes legendary but super rarely)

[minor ferry]

nothing matters much in heroic lol

[somber pumice]

stacking GC/vigi/overdogs already feels like omega overkill as is

[minor ferry]

not overkill for leggos

[cold pumice]

If you're running Lego/Master, getting that Crit is vital because the amount of hits you're putting out will directly increase your DPS by a large margin.

On heroic, no, it doesn't really matter.

[somber pumice]

ill just tinker it whenever we do lego/masters then. pact didnt feel bad with our 4 stack when we did it but we also had an FI healer with opportunistic so

he probably hard carried our extra damage lmao

[minor ferry]

crit and damage maxing is great for raids and incursion too

[cold pumice]

You can always just get someone on your DPS team to rtun a Coyotes

[somber pumice]

my entire squad is overdogs pilled and i honestly dont blame them

that shit is insane even with a modicum of target focus effort

[cold pumice]

Yeah they're a big average DPS increase

[minor ferry]

@cold pumice Semi wild take, but I still think it has plenty of merit: To make other weapons viable to increase stacks of a talent where lots of hits to max are needed, I think they should change the amount of stacks generated based on RPM of weapon, so they even out more or less or at least so the disparity isnt so goddamn huge between high and lower RPM guns. I feel like I wanna use something other than an ACS a lot of the time, but cant bring myself since its such a handicap to not run it. Thoughts on this idea? Like for example, weapons at 600 rpm can recieve 3 stack for 2 hits, alternating between giving 1 stack and 2 stacks per second shot

[upper inlet]

nope, doesnt help

[cold pumice]

My thoughts are I don't run ACS at all with Strikers.

On heroic, you'll rarely if ever hit or use max stacks anyway.

On legendary/master most of the time I don't want to be close enough to use a shotty for stacking. I'm not that brave 🤣

[minor ferry]

lol i see. you like the idea in principle tho?

[cold pumice]

I think, this game is already VERY math heavy, and very reliant on knowledge as it is.

Making it more confusing would only alienate more people.

In principle, sure it's a good idea. In practice it would probably be more trouble than it's worth

[cold pumice]

This would, in theory also be an ENORMOUS buff to rifles, which already have big damage with mostly respectable RPM

[minor ferry]

no no cause the rule would be simple, it would make all weapons generate roughly the same amount of stacks per minute while shooting a volley

it would only complicate things for nerds like you and chow who wanna know exactly on which shot in the volley u get extra stacks lmfao

[cold pumice]

Which doesn't work, because low RPM weapons with massive damage would stack faster and therefore benefit from another HUIGE damage boost with no trade off

[minor ferry]

no man, as i said every 2nd or third shot could generate an extra stack

[delicate tartan]

Play countdown no maxed smg weapons, its seams i play challenging, not heroic? Dissapointing, must be something wrong played 100 times today

[minor ferry]

you can balance it to have roughly the same stacks growth rate as any other gun

[cold pumice]

The likelyhood of dropping maxed weapons is low

[delicate tartan]

Oh?

[cold pumice]

There's a reason they don't, that's the point.

[minor ferry]

maxed weapons are overrated. just get one that has 75% of the stats filled and also DTOOC

[minor ferry]

whats the reason? laziness? cause im struggling to see an intention with the current system

[cold pumice]

If rifles could stack as fast as ARs, the damage you coudl deal with Striker/Rifle builds would be nuts

[minor ferry]

okay fine then exclude rifles and MMRs

from being able to stack. and boom. perfect system

[minor ferry]

u can also always just optimize the attributes. Especially easy to do when the XP events hit, since u can get a sht ton of SHD calibration and mats for crafting field recon intel from the watch

[cold pumice]

Listen, i'm not against any new ideas. But balancing is already an issue with Strikers already being too far out front of others 😛

[minor ferry]

true

[cold pumice]

TS kinda of railed it in a little, but Strikers is overall still stronger

[minor ferry]

sorry, "TS"?

[cold pumice]

Tipping Scales

[minor ferry]

Dorky, how would u personally go about rebalancing strikers? increase stack depletion rate at the last at an earlier number? like, if its over 50 u start losing 2? or just nerf the dmg per stack?

[cold pumice]

Personally, I wouldn't touch Strikers itself.

I'd bring others up first.

[minor ferry]

Cant this cause power creep?

[cold pumice]

Power creep is natural with live service games, it happens and you can't fight it if you want the game to continue

[minor ferry]

valid point okay but how about if touching other stuff would make the game easier?

[cold pumice]

I've had this argument a few times. Playing Full red strikers on Heroic is braindead. But it's not a fair comparison because the game is no longer balanced around that.

Lots of things can braindead Heroic.

Playing full red strikers on Lego/Master is something that actually not many people can do, even if people claim it's too easy.

[minor ferry]

lol everyone can do it this season cause of zealot lmfao but i see ur point

[cold pumice]

Sure, but when looking at builds we rarely use or take modifiers into account because they can make lots of builds stupid strong

[minor ferry]

they should make legendary open world. and not just have it be black tusk only, i want legendaries for other factions

[cold pumice]

I agree with Master open world, because it's the natural progression. It has to happen eventually

[minor ferry]

wth even is master difficulty definitionally? some kinda in between between heroic and leggo?

[cold pumice]

Master Difficulty is basically Heroic+

Enemies have Legendary Health and Damage, but not the ability spam of the White Tusk, which should be reserved for the hardest of missions imo

Personally I think Master bounties will be next, as a trial

[minor ferry]

god i hate suicide drone spam 😂

[desert thunder]

How is it? We can't do double anything on any of the gear pieces that we get where we can roll on what we want to roll on. So for instance the mask. If it already comes with crit chance, why can't I take that other spot that has hazard or whatever and roll it to crit hit chance so it's a double crit head chance mask

[bold tiger]

all i can think of is it's a balancing choice the devs made

[desert thunder]

But it's already balanced out because if somebody goes double headshot damage they're missing out on their crit or their crit damage

[bold tiger]

there is a mask you can get triple crit chance on though, but the brand sucks. it's called Chill Out mask from Gila Brandset. you get it to drop with chance, then you add 2 chance mods in it for triple chance mask piece but the 1 gila pc gives you like 5% armor

[desert thunder]

But just not the mask I'm talking about like the chess piece in the backpack like we should be able to run double crit double hazard protection, double whatever we want on that backpack. You know what I'm saying instead of one of each

[bold tiger]

yes, ilke i said probably a balancing decision they made

[daring wren]

I mean the mods do the same thing pretty much

[bold tiger]

otherwise people would probably only run the headshot damage build alone if we could double our headshot damage on all 6 pieces

[desert thunder]

But see they be missing out on crit. Hit damage and crit hit chance

[bold tiger]

again a balancing decision they made. why would anyone want to have crit damage or chance if all they're going to do is pop heads
take your idea into the darkzone how fun would it be to fight people who can do this?

take the tinkerer glitch. if we could do double the stats as you want it to be. people in DZ would be running around double crit chance, double crit damage, double headshot damage, double haz pro, double weapon handling and what not on some broken gear because the glitch would be there. go into a conflict match and just barely peak and you go down

[desert thunder]

But it's only on three gear pieces that you would be able to do double on. Anyways, the mask, the chess piece and the backpack. But again, like I said, even if you were to go double crit on a mask, you're kind of screwing yourself out on damage or whatever other stuff you want to run on or say hazard protection you're missing out on hit damage crit hit chance. It's only on three pieces. A gear it's not like on all the gear pieces. Yeah, if it was on all the gear pieces it would be really unbalanced but the three pieces would not make a difference on what people put on if they decide to double on anything if anything, they'd be losing out on certain things

[jaunty tide]

Is stretched goals live?

[bold tiger]

is it the 18th?

[jaunty tide]

For me it is.

[bold tiger]

for me it's still the 17th

[nocturne siren]

Time zones!

[bold tiger]

oh i know
then did you see a message in #server-status indicating it came back online? or news,tweets about stretch goals i now active?

[green wyvern]

not currently it will be active at <t:1763452800>

[jaunty tide]

Thank you for the answer.

[ivory sundial]

so my dumb ass is livid, because i stood next to the extract point on the climax master and extracted by accident, do I need to do the entire mission again to get the blacklisters? (PS: They dropped like a normal loot drop since my inventory was almost full and tempest took the last spot in it)

[bold tiger]

usually server goes down for maintenance for x hours then comes back up we get a notification in server status its back up and at some point they'll give us a message in news or tweets that x event is now live

[green wyvern]

yeah if the servers dont go down itll be up at the timestamp but if it goes down its active whenever the servers go live again

[bold tiger]

i feel it's one of those things they have to push a file "stretch goals = False" to "stretch goals = true" in their coding bit but i could be wrong and they have it coded so the time hits it just goes to active

[cold pumice]

Someone always spells True wrong and messes it up though....now all of a sudden we have the giant head mode from Goldeneye 64

[bold tiger]

yeah, my brain does that while i type
i'll be typing away and not even read what i type and hit send then realize oh i forgot a word or i added an extra letter here

[delicate owl]

Where do you leave feedback for the PTS ?

[bold tiger]

id:customize think PTS role checked 👇 a new channel appears td2-pts-xyz

[delicate owl]

Thank you that was it

[ivory sundial]

^^?

[candid verge]

check your stash, if your inventory was full you might find it there as delivery 🤞

[pseudo tundra]

if they dropped once for doing master, it's not a guaranted drop anymore, will have to farm the old way

[ivory sundial]

well thats somewhat comforting

[bold tiger]

if you're lucky, chances are if you run it on say normal might run into them on the ground still or another master run?

[ivory sundial]

i just tried another master and no dice

[bold tiger]

ah bummer

[ivory sundial]

so ig i have to resort to TL kneepad farming

[pseudo tundra]

only this mission

[ivory sundial]

as in redo the mission till drop?

[pseudo tundra]

but since it's still brand new matchmaking should be pretty fast

yeap

season climax rewards only drop from their missions

[ivory sundial]

would master be the optimal choice or heroic?

[bold tiger]

or take your low chances in Stretch Goals as they seem to keep adding these things to the ever growing loot pool

[pseudo tundra]

master has higher chances, if you think it takes too long try heroic

[daring wren]

You can run master again on a diff character too

[bold tiger]

put your load out in stash, create level 40 character if you own BFB fast travel to DC run climax normal-heroic to unlock master, run master and 100% drop

[pseudo tundra]

oh yeah

i forgot the second character

[ivory sundial]

oh ty jesus for me making another char

[bold tiger]

or if you already have one, just run it 😹

[ivory sundial]

the least im worried abt is that my second char inventory isnt full

im one of those ppl who looks at loot and dismantles if nothings worth

[bold tiger]

best way to go honestly

[daring wren]

Savage. I prefer to grab everything and nuke it all in one shot when the bag is nearing full

To each their own though amiright

[bold tiger]

with 450 stash space i have everything in stash and usually 0/150 on my character and practically do just that. fill up to 150 nuke everything 😹

[wide jolt]

0/150, you running around with just one build or you forgot to add /s ????

[bold tiger]

call it the after effects of only having so much space. 150 on person and was it 300 in stash?

never been a fan of putting stuff in stash, logging in alt grabbing stuff until it's empty and the 4 characters are 150/150 bit

[ivory sundial]

how do the blacklisters work, or how should they be used even??

[bold tiger]

you shoot 1 target, then try to ignore it and hide from it as they'll do 600% damage to you. while you shoot other things at 20% amped damage

[ivory sundial]

huh

the desc of them does take it to heart

[bold tiger]

but for me since i've used them in a couple builds. you can kill the marked target and still have the 20% amp it feels like unless i'm just seeing things

[ivory sundial]

would you recommend them to be used at all?

[bold tiger]

a majority is "dead on arrival" was prety dead on arrival because it was bugged where you could keep stacking that 20% amp until you maxed out your damage

[ivory sundial]

interesting

[bold tiger]

now since it's been "patched" people will ask you why use it. we got perfect glass cannon or normal glass cannon

[bold tiger]

@fluid fox yeah, that's definitely confusing as in my store in the US i get this

[fluid fox]

whaa

[slim elk]

i think it affects differently for other regions

[bold tiger]

you should see the same but in your currency i'd believe

[fluid fox]

yeah thats what i was thinking

ahh ok so this is what i should be seeing... its different ingame to ubi connect i guess?

@bold tiger time to email support i think...

[bold tiger]

my region ubisoft store site relfects the same thing in the ubiconnect store so no clue lol 😹

[fluid fox]

xD

crazy stuff

[bold tiger]

definitely. i just assumed it was world wide

[lament pivot]

does anybody have any tips on how to increase performance?

im playing through the demo right now and i cant even get up to 60 fps in the first minutes

[fluid fox]

what's your specs?

[rancid sphinx]

when i use this and spam specialization, this modifier bugs and gives empty ammo for rest of the match, i spammed demolist gl specialisation. it gives ammo, but when i shoot there is no explosion

[lament pivot]

ryzen 5 2600 - gtx 1660 - 16gb ram

[fluid fox]

hrm okie from my estimate you can probably get around 60-75 on high. from what i can see, the settings that impact FPS the most are shadow quality, fog/volumetric clouds, and probably set the extra streaming distance to 0%

you can probably keep textures on high tho

[lament pivot]

so should i go for the high preset and then just edit those settings to the lowest?

what about vsync and that latency thing? anything i should do about those?

when i played i kept both off and just put the frame limiter on 60, i also play on windowed fullscreen

[timid notch]

how do I counter those bombs that randomly trigger and immediately break my armor

[strange harbor]

Where?

[timid notch]

Its like when I run and big radius just comes and I cant see the bomb and it just takes all of my armor

Ill just run into them and it will randomly trigger with that annoying beep

[strange harbor]

Which mission?

[timid notch]

Its not a mission its in the game

Theres no indicator, a fat radius starts to expand with a beeping noise

Is that just part of the game

[desert drum]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ekZQcGK3Prw&pp=ygUbSGFyZHdhcmUgdW5ib3hlZCBkaXZpc2lvbiAy0gcJCQgKAYcqIYzv

I got alot more fps when i used these settings, hub optimized ones

[timid notch]

I'll run into them. A big red radius will expand with a beeping noise. Is there a way to counter them or do you just deal with it exploding and wiping all your armor

[desert drum]

Just curious, are you using zealot modifier?

[timid notch]

Is that what triggers it

[cold pumice]

Thats the zealot modifier. Please read them before you use it

[desert drum]

Yea when it ends u explode

[timid notch]

Ohhh I see

[cold pumice]

When you run out of stacks, you explode damaging enemies in a radius, the more enemies damaged with the blast the more armour you recover.

If you dont damage anyone with the blast, it leaves you on 1hp

[desert drum]

What you could do to counter it is to play rather aggressive and explode on multiple enemies to regain health and armor

[timid notch]

That makes a lot of sense

I was confused as to why all of a sudden I kept exploding

[cold pumice]

Zealot is very powerful if used correctly.

You cant take damage while its active. As long as you keep killing you're imortal

[wheat stag]

do i have to get season pass for stretch goals?

[strange harbor]

Buy the premium one? No.

[wheat stag]

but how much season pass xp do i have to get for a reward?

[strange harbor]

1000 SP XP per level

[wheat stag]

K ty

[pine magnet]

Anyone else having the same problem? I'm at Jefferson and the mission is actually invaded. Mega Bug

[inner tendon]

Why is it a mega bug?

[pine magnet]

There are 7 invaded mission

[inner tendon]

if there was 6, would it be a kilo bug?

[pine magnet]

Seven bat also Arena was invaded and i finished it

[inner tendon]

Okay well you know you don't actually have to do a mission on invaded to play that mission, so just take it as a win if you need multiple ones for your scouts.

[pine magnet]

Ok ok 😂 Thanks

[inner tendon]

Just in case anyone's confused as to how: hover over > mission settings > toggle mission mode.
Also works for any mission if you need to change it to a Manhunt variant.

[pine magnet]

I'm not at that level. I know exactly what to do. 🤪

[inner tendon]

Was moer of a general PSA.

[pine magnet]

Yes Yes 👍 I understood that the message was for everyone.

[wind jackal]

Could somebody send me a list of all the 'answers' to this seasons scout manhunt thingies via dms? Im on scout 7

[trim meadow]

This is from steam Brooklyn Deluxe DLC. which is $18+ so and normal Brooklyn DLC $10+ everything is same except the outfit, I've a question if I don't purchase the DLC I won't get extra stash space?

Is this kind of pay to get advantage type of thing?

[nimble spruce]

This has been a bug for a couple of seasons or so now, sometimes missions don't lose their invaded status when the week ends.

[nimble spruce]

There are three things that each give an extra 50 stash space: the Warlords dlc, the Brooklyn dlc, and the Year One Pass.

[wind jackal]

In short i think u just need whichever version of the dlc for that extra space.

[nimble spruce]

Yeah ultimate edition might include the year one pass and thus the extra space that comes with it (if you don't already have it) but otherwise you get the same extra space with any edition

[trim meadow]

make sense I guess, purchase dlc to unlock more space✅

[turbid sapphire]

this is old. basically you logged out when the other missions selected but beaten. its normal. youll find you cant actually go do them

one time I had 6 invaded too, was funy

[nimble spruce]

In my experience you can go do them, but if you complete them or toggle them back to regular, you won't be able to get them back to invaded again.

[turbid sapphire]

-_- still waiting for og kelso... sigh

[nocturne siren]

They added everything BUT Kelso 😂

Remember guys, she had to go. Manny needs to debrief with Schaeffer as well. Don't forget. Very important

[turbid sapphire]

bruh you ignoring me is sad, cuz I cant react. anyway, this is the mission that has a master mode with theo. the division spawned in for some reason and began helping (this area is corridored off) it made me think about how heroic level hyenas can actually fight white tusk dua successfully and its not like 1 and done

[real cypress]

how is strikers w/ obliterate ceska chest's dps compared to tipping scales with BP and obliterate ceska chest for LMGs?

im finding a hard time maintaining tipping scales stack compared to strikers

[arctic thunder]

Will the black tusk outfit from 2019 ever reappear?

[turbid sapphire]

its in legacy. its not an outfit is a pieces set. it used toi be an outfit, and no thats not avaible

[arctic thunder]

No, this is BTSU, not black tusk

Black tusk had no camo I believe, and some sort of elbow pad on the sleeves

[turbid sapphire]

maybe I dont understand?

[clever fjord]

A picture would help

[arctic thunder]

https://www.ubisoft.com/en-au/game/the-division/news-updates/3PRq159kLUL9CugGMOUOY1/welcome-to-apparel-event-1-invasion

[turbid sapphire]

hm. ok, Iv never seen this. but I suppose not. old glasmour event are rarely rerealed, but will often have a "variant" made avaible

[arctic thunder]

Link and a picture, not mine but you can see how the caps black

Has no camo, and no black tusk logos

[clever fjord]

That's the same outfit

[turbid sapphire]

no hes right, theres no camo

[arctic thunder]

Check the pants

[turbid sapphire]

^ so what I wrote here is accurate

[clever fjord]

Remodelled mayhaps

[arctic thunder]

Really sucks that a lot of old cool outfits like that are gone 😭

[turbid sapphire]

often when an apperal event goes live, after it, there is a "variant" put in store. it usually has subtle differences. this would oneo f those times

it does suck, but its sort of a nod to old and loyal players.

[arctic thunder]

😔

I lacked a good PC to get the rest of the outfit, but I got the mask that supposedly came with it

[turbid sapphire]

in swtor, before I left, there was an ancient pvp set, it was launched when I first began and it was literally why I played for so long. in 7.0, 8 years later from 3.0, they finally released it (freeing me, but thats not the point) but when they released it, they changed its name to "furious recreaction" instead of "furious"

the point is, a lot of games has anb og version, but release a different one for new players

[arctic thunder]

Sucks to suck for me I guess, thank you guys for the help, it is super appreciated

[turbid sapphire]

I would say keep playing and when you find something you like, dont hesitate. get it then lord it over newbs in 3 years >:)

argueablely one of best sets in game imo, and no its not available. (backpack is, I dont think chest is, Id have to check)

[clever fjord]

Sounds like a #divashion thing

[analog galleon]

Is there a way to get the quickstep?

[clever fjord]

Nuh uh
Not until a next event

[turbid sapphire]

no one has found a way yet. itll likely drop from holiday loot goblin. no clarify on this

its technically a "halloween" drop, similar to cooler and xmas stuff. but we dont know yet if itllqualify

[analog galleon]

Okay one more question what’s the fastest way to get your shd level up

I’m new don’t know much and only shd level 21

[turbid sapphire]

theres a reltively new play friendly farm. go to checkpoint, kill everything, then go to the back, to find the edge of cp area, launch call friends. if you did it right 2 manholes nearby will spawn the waves. can do this with all directives and any diffculty. its about 3 ish levels, 5-6 if 5x

reset map after the backup npc collect the area. and repeat. that safe house is your spawn in on map reset

[clever fjord]

The better one is the choke that's right under castle
3 of the 5 spawns are from a man hole and it's right under the castle settlement
Make a hotshot hh determined build and farm away

[turbid sapphire]

🤔 I thought the choke spawns from both sides, also one side has 2 spawn points

[clever fjord]

I have a video of a two minute clear but i really don't wanna send it

[turbid sapphire]

so, my experience is a bit diffent, but if you can pull off @clever fjord thing, thatll be cool. this was always where mine spawns from @analog galleon

? teal experience?

ah

I should get on that.

also for others, directive do not count for journey experience. running 5 direcvtive to boost stretch rewards doesnt work

[hazy flicker]

So many caches… so little time

[turbid sapphire]

ss 1 is chall, ss 2 is heroic. hard is 550. if you run chall its better for time. this is missions, because sh's like capital have annoying tiome sinks

[arctic thunder]

Isn’t there a 5x experience thing soon? If you check events timeline but I’m not sure

[oak gazelle]

5x season xp was last week, this week is 2x season xp
5 shd xp is going to be on 27th of november

[arctic thunder]

Ah alright

Man, that really sinks how many levels one can get..

[oak gazelle]

the 2x season xp already helps a lot and if you saved up on scouts and journey stuff, you level really fast

[analog galleon]

For the quickstep you can get it from bounty

[turbid sapphire]

journey exp is unaffected. the stretch rewards usejourney

so, my testing is complete. so, this was not done using speedrunning, or meta builds. the builds used are this. priority mission coney island build 1, roosevelt island, no priority build 2

roosevelt jounrey 1, priority coney 2, I used chall for coney, so for accuracy, chall will be provied for both. ss1 is rose heroic, ss 2 is heroic coney +priority, ss3 is rose chall, ss4 is priority cony chall

[oak gazelle]

journey xp = season xp
and it's calculated in there, this is all 2x xp already

[turbid sapphire]

now, the results of what I found is if you are not speedrunnnig just having fun, this is due to story time sinks and random mission selections by prioity

I also died in rose final boss. I got greedy and tried to hs a rusher and I lost. 🙁 I dont want to talk about it

point is rose took .5% longer time, and grants x2 experience

I know from experience lincoln is about 5 minutes. if someone speedran rose, it prob would be close to 10/12. I think its accurate to state doing rose is a better payout if your grinding

lego might be worth more, this was only for solo players or non lego

[oak gazelle]

payout is better if you do them in combination with priority objectives

[turbid sapphire]

I thought of that. thats why this was based on coney. coney was a PO

because coney has time sinks, the time was greatly increased.

[nimble spruce]

I generally manage to run heroic Roosevelt in just over 10m, but I'm not a super efficient speedrunner.
We generally advise people to focus on priority strongholds as the most time efficient way to farm season xp, although I think someone last time did a spreadsheet of a load of missions and found a few that could match them.

Obviously base tidal and zoo are somewhat slower

[oak gazelle]

yea but it doesn't show the reward in the mission rewards, best way is imo doing priority objective strongholds (skipping on zoo and tidal of course)

[turbid sapphire]

it does show. the orange number is jounrey mission reward

you dont get anything for mob kills or directives. only diffculty affect J exp

[oak gazelle]

not the priority objective reward, that's what I'm talking about

[turbid sapphire]

🤔 can you define how your saying priority will pay off? I dont understand and I want to make sure Im not overlooking something

PO will only boost J exp by 10%, and it will be random event which means time sinks are inevitable. rose was chosen cuz of hs ease and no time sinks

[nimble spruce]

Priority objectives rewards are generally about the same as the mission rewards (very slightly higher iirc) so shouldn't really affect the scaling or efficiency discussions assuming you're always using them.

[oak gazelle]

your screenshots show the mission season xp rewards for completing the mission
the priority objective reward is a separate reward, which isn't included in that number

[turbid sapphire]

right. hoever at 10%, the only increase to lets say 884 is 80. so, about 950

you then are victim to time sinks.

[oak gazelle]

the 10% bonus is from having the season modifiers enabled

you can get another 10% from the premium season pass

[turbid sapphire]

so. I can say I had j turned off, so at 20% it would have been... about 1040

so I turned on J, turns out, this affects all j exp, not just priority

additionaly, this is the only buff to PO

[oak gazelle]

the 10% or 20% affects everything, but you're missing my point

[turbid sapphire]

which I had no idea. omg

[turbid sapphire]

ok, so... lets say I could beat rose on PO, how would the J exp change?
Im wondering if Im missing something, which is why Im asking

[oak gazelle]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Afsr7QRiCXLJD-fyORBwKWVkb5S_wRqXabLLmsOt5qg/edit?gid=780062678#gid=780062678

look here, keep in mind that you need to multiply the value by 2, because of the 2x xp event atm
so it's 939 for the coney mission + 524 x 2 for the priority objective reward

[turbid sapphire]

something is confucing. I beat coney, why didnt PO complete?

[oak gazelle]

did you do the wrong coney island mission? there is amusement park and ballpark

[turbid sapphire]

maybe? I did the one with turrts at the end

frick.

Ill clear it again, but I likely will hit close to same time, which means the I dont know that the experience/time will change.

[turbid sapphire]

so, you mention x2, Im 90% sure the x2 is automatic and displayed on everyones reward screen. so, yeh this might be cut in half after event, but Im not sure if this alters the result. does the event only count for PO or is it gamewide regardless

I think this affects everything regardless of PO status. Im not sdure this alters results

[oak gazelle]

that's what I already told you, the 2x is already calculated in
and the multiplier counts for every season xp reward

[turbid sapphire]

ok. so, you mentioned in the begining that po is better. I guess I misunderstood with the x2 mention. so, in your opinion, how does, lets say doing capital on PO result in a better time/exp than doing rose without po

I chose capital cuz capital is a sh with an abhorat time sink, and is rng based po

[oak gazelle]

yep, you'll get an additional reward for the priority objective (around double of what you get without)

[turbid sapphire]

so, the priority ob grants a +bonus?

[oak gazelle]

but it isn't shown on the mission reward screen

[oak gazelle]

correct

[turbid sapphire]

so. lets say I did.... capital on po. these experience look exactly the same

Im not saying your wrong, Im saying this is weirdly misleading

[oak gazelle]

1864 (PO) + 1833 (mission reward) is your reward for completing titdal

[cold pumice]

That xp displayed on the prio is a seperate reward

[turbid sapphire]

this looks like double the experience about, but with 0 explantion, based on your info

🤔 ok then yyyy. appreaciate the teaching

[cold pumice]

You gain that in addition to completing the mission

[turbid sapphire]

so if rose is 10 min, capital would have to be 20 to not pay off. thanks for the info

this also means that a normal mission is prob about even with rose, which makes it worth doing if you dont roll a sh on PO

[cold pumice]

Basically doing capitol with a priority objective is almost 4x the base xp, instead of 2x

[turbid sapphire]

I need to find out much capital actually takes. I never pay attention to clear times, I want to find outr if capital clear is worth more than 2 mission clears

[cold pumice]

Pretty sure its about 10-12 minutes

[turbid sapphire]

then its worth. you might be clearing it faster than me, but its still worth

and... if a mission in po is 900, and the miossion itself is 900, 2 missions are worth 1 sh in po, [edit cuz I doubted myself] wait no, Im only semi dum

I wanted to say one more thing, cuz this changed me back to my og thought of chall vs heroic. if your grinding or farming, due to po reward being seperate, the difference between chal and heroic clear will be a journey drop of 400 in sh and 200 in missions. might be worth time diff

[rancid sphinx]

is there guaranteed turmoil and lexington after event end if we reach lvl150 this time?

[turbid sapphire]

not as far as we know. that was inputted at a certain point cuz the players said the first stretch had too low of a drop rate

[cold pumice]

No, but the 10th cache each time has a 30% chance to drop Lexington

[turbid sapphire]

so. wierd fun fact

I am testing way to force break wyvrens immunity

I succeeded, but uh. not only do turrets still spawn after she dies.. but the dogs dont. at all. this was chall, but to the besto f my knowledge at least 1 dog spawns in chall

I enjoy abusing hard cap mechanics, so this was a more fun one I wanted to shre. if I do it again, Ill clip it and try for heroic. but in heroic, itll be harder./ cuz I know what I used to crack her immunity and I dont know if in heroic itll work

also smol thing, diffculty with journey changes PO reward, signicantly enough to not be worth it. reward dropp by 200, so 400 is a lot

[cold pumice]

Depends on clear speed.

For some heroic clear speeds would be signifcantly longer.

[turbid sapphire]

Im mad cuz I just died cuz the stupid chungus spawned sidways, somehow making his chain immortal, and then a dum grenadier in narnia decided to kill me.

Im going to leave the testing to someone else. to break wyvrens immunity, hit her with a VERY high dmg attack, she will be immune still, then swap to auto spam. her immunity will bug out and drop. kil lher before she regains it.

stupid freaking game, this is why I hated the lion the witch and wardrobe (jk)

in my experience it has to be done by one player, but Ill leave the testing to people more interested

[cold pumice]

Just an FYI, Nego bypasses immunity 😃

[turbid sapphire]

I refuse. (on principle, but neat, not actually objecting)

[delicate tartan]

This warlords of new york apparel how do i get it?

Got tom sergant thsirt 🙂

[inner tendon]

The WONY outfits are paid, via the store.

[delicate tartan]

Ok it says play to get it , thought apparel event stretch goals

[pseudo tundra]

tom sargent is not a warlords item

it's from the stretch goal

[delicate tartan]

Yes but play to get rewards wony, but its only paid a lot of future outfits are paid... well thats ok.

Before we could earn paid outfits play , open keys

[turbid sapphire]

There are many things, that are available just by playing the game. Just as much as there are ones that are available by paying. It's easy to be angry at Ubisoft because you believe microtransactions are unnecessary, but you also don't have to own everything. The artists who made those outfits, need money to

A lot of arguments on Reddit and YouTube try to paint some time long ago where outfits were free. I played during that time, and the amount of content that's available through microtransactions was never available for free. We got some, but nowhere near the same amount. If microtransactions were removed, you just would have less outfits

[delicate tartan]

Yes

[oak gazelle]

it's not completely false either
you could earn more stuff with the apparel caches ~100 items
now it's only around 71, also they would shuffle them around

[delicate tartan]

I thought we could sometimes get it with a lot of credits textiles, or apparel keys, wony outfit would be nice but ok.

[inner tendon]

You can't, there's no point in continuing to bring it up.

And no point in inventing things to be mad about.

[delicate tartan]

Well we had it before you should know, its just an idear, discussion

[inner tendon]

We've also had paid-only outfits in the store before.
If you want to suggest things that the devs will actually see, check out #1380126780152614944. Any talk in here will just be for the players.

[delicate tartan]

Ps. I know we had paid too. Have a great day.enjoy , im at 106 now stretch goals.

How much do i need to get outfit from stretch goal

[nimble spruce]

It's rng

[delicate tartan]

Yup so no limit just wonder , garanty drop 110, 120....

[ivory sundial]

do i need prem to do stretch goals???

[cold pumice]

No

[ivory sundial]

okeydokey

[delicate tartan]

Prem?

[inner tendon]

Paid tier of the Season Pass. "premium".

PSA: vanity items have a 50% chance per Rank Up cache, so it's a lot higher than last time.

[delicate tartan]

Ok. Thanks

[inner tendon]

That includes the patches/gun skins.
oh and Lex/Caretaker/Shield Splinterer is in the caches, and yes Lex is a godroll.

[ivory sundial]

No turmoil????

[inner tendon]

I mean I haven't obtained one yet, but I've not completed that many sets of 10.

[ivory sundial]

oh

[inner tendon]

Just found it funny that the 2nd thing I got was a Lex, and then immediately decon'd it because I have 4.

[oak gazelle]

ideally around 50 levels

[delicate tartan]

How many outfits? Stretch...

[oak gazelle]

sorry don't know what you are asking? how many vanity items? there are 14 items

[nimble spruce]

The rewards are listed here: https://t.co/e4xhPqluLJ

[delicate tartan]

Ja it just seams more then 1,

[oak gazelle]

• Tom Sergeant Outfit – 8 pieces
• Arm Patches – 4 pieces
• Weapon Skins – 2 pieces
  one outfit consistent of 8 pieces, 4 arm patches, 2 weapon skins

[delicate tartan]

Ok i got thshirt, need only seven more.

[inner tendon]

Don't focus on counting to a total, just keep playing and then at the end of the event, see how many you need.

You'll likely finish quite quickly.

[delicate tartan]

Ok. :), i do my best

[desert thunder]

So with the turmoil knee pads can you put say countdown and put knee pads as a thing you're looking for and will it drop or is it only in caches?

[nimble spruce]

Only in caches

[cold pumice]

Turmoil cannot drop in game. It can only be gotten from the event specific stretch goal caches

[desert thunder]

Oh then the grind is real lol

[cold pumice]

Every 10th cache is a prestige cache that guarantees a reward from that specific table so it shouldnt be that hard to get

[desert thunder]

134 and still nada lol

[novel shard]

You all can Make it

[inner tendon]

That's only 3 rotations+under half to the 4th.
You've got a while ahead of you yet.

[ornate zephyr]

made it to 150 and still didnt see any lexi or turmoil.

dev's mustve put a hidden check for ppl that run lexington in D1 too much to not get lexington easily. 😂

[cold pumice]

hard to believe, lexington has a 30% drop chance every 10 caches

[analog nest]

Anyone else experiencing really bad lag right now?

[inner tendon]

That cloudflare thing is acting up again, twitch is having issues too.

[analog nest]

Cloudflare?

[desert thunder]

what that

[bold tiger]

part of the interwebs with services places uses. think mostly server space for games to use

[pseudo tundra]

you know how when amazon went down a bunch of other things also went down? similar issue with different services

[atomic coral]

Huh. I've lost the option to toggle Tidal Basin to The Pact Climax

Only got Hornet and regular Tidal as choices, though I can matchmake for it via the Manhunt menu

[slow cairn]

does anyone know what the cosmetic rewards are in the year 7 s2. stretch goal is? appeal item x1 & that?

[candid verge]

8 piece of outfit, 4 arm patches and 2 weapon skins I believe

[bold tiger]

you've done the 3 HVT's to unlock The Pact Climax?

[atomic coral]

Yes

I played it last Tuesday

I'll check in a bit to see if it was a one time bug perhaps

[bold tiger]

as long as you did the 3 hvts, ran the climax on normal to heroic once. should just be able to run master climax as much as you want

[bold walrus]

Can you still get the tinkerer or mask, if so how?

[slim elk]

master Potomac manhunt

[pseudo tundra]

#lfg-pc

[timid vessel]

oops my bad

[arctic thunder]

Is this a god roll? or do these always come maxxed

[desert thunder]

Was that a bonus or was it the top two items

cuse my luck sucks

[slim elk]

turmoil and lexi come god rolled afaik

[arctic thunder]

I dont even remember, bonus I think?

[desert thunder]

nice

[arctic thunder]

Ah I see, thank you

[real cypress]

are my eyes deceiving me or is that a kneepad with a talent? 🤨

[kind cove]

Yes its a named item you cannot change its talent either

Read the talent and it becomes clear why its a kneepad

[real cypress]

it looks like a very niche, weaker nego lmao

would be very cool if named armor had some talents worth picking up

[novel shard]

Maxed

[ornate zephyr]

me too, i need those lexi. But noooo, all they dropped so far were multiple huntsman.

[ivory sundial]

has anyone been experiencing decrease in graphics?

[quick hazel]

How do I do those Stretch Goals quickly?

[bold tiger]

first get to level 100 in the season, then every 101-110 you're in teh stretch goals
if you were smart like some people were, you would've saved your journeys for this 😹
otherwise Priority Objective Spam stronghold gives the most

[left plinth]

I get alot of Recommendations for St.Elmo AR, where do I obtain this?

[slim elk]

anywhere, it has a higher chance with AR TL

[left plinth]

With what?
I just hit lv.40 btw

[slim elk]

Assault Rifle Targeted Loot

[slim elk]

you should check pins tho! useful info for you

[left plinth]

Looks like Countdown is where I needed to grind, which difficulty do you recommend and should I do it solo or with randoms?

[strange harbor]

Matchmake for challenging

[left plinth]

Alrighty 👍

[pseudo tundra]

Stick to the group, it should be enough

[ivory sundial]

what are all the pieces for the tom sergeant apparel?

[rancid sphinx]

i got attributes max crit chance and damage, core is same as you. i think its always max crit chance and damage on drop

[slim elk]

@rancid sphinx ^

[rancid sphinx]

👍

[steel bough]

Question: Are new weapon blueprints and weapons added every season?

[strange harbor]

Yes

[cold pumice]

Yes and yes

[snow cargo]

Should be...

[inner tendon]

@urban ferry 10% from the Modifiers, and 10% from owning the premium tier of the season pass.
Without doing the math, that's likely the difference there.

Don't feel like you need the Season Pass though, that 10% is nice and all, but only buy it if you like the cosmetic stuff it has.

[quick hazel]

Hey, I've just gotten SHD Level 200. Cut me some slack! Also, there's these notifications saying I've got Journey rewards to claim, when I can't seem to find them. What's going on?

[slim elk]

Esc > Season Panel > Journey

[ornate zephyr]

how rare is this? non maxed turmoil.

[snow cargo]

First for me.

[real cypress]

what is the bluescreen used for?

[slim elk]

pretty much anything that involves DPS

[real cypress]

is it a good dps option tho or its more for the support talent?

[slim elk]

its great for its CC talent and big mag size, its a great option for builds like NegoDogs, OD I think, Tipping Scales maybe and Strikers

[snow cargo]

If you read how the talents works it needs to keep stacks up for it to CC. So generally it's better when things have more HP so you can stack it more on everything.
It nothing special on the DPS number.

[oak gazelle]

it's a bug tbh
have gotten like 3 with the exact same stats

[quick hazel]

Yes, I am aware of it, and I was referring to the Journey tab when I asked my question. I can't find any reward that hasn't already been claimed by myself yet.

[delicate tartan]

I got lexington yesterday

[slim elk]

then it may be a visual bug

[delicate tartan]

What weapon is turmull or something like that?

[quick hazel]

A visual bug? I assume the bug is it says I have unclaimed rewards when I have none?

[slim elk]

yup yup

[slim elk]

named kneepads

[delicate tartan]

Ok thanks

Very happy with lexington!

[ivory sundial]

whats the ideal way ppl have been maxing out their stretch goals lately?

[nimble spruce]

Finishing off manhunt scouts, turning in season journey stages, weekly donation project on all characters, then priority objective strongholds

[arctic thunder]

Scouts, journey, or priority objectives I think

[turbid sapphire]

does white death drop from roosevelt lol

bro was hoarding them from emilys stash

plan b if being a melee chungus doesnt work... spoiler lol

neat. am opening them on hc. call it a mental investment

[cold pumice]

I believe it has a higher drop chance from RI

[desert thunder]

What can I do to make the pestilence ticks hit harder. Because it's a buff and not a hazard.

[turbid sapphire]

amped dmg

everything from dtooc, lmg dmg, glass cannon, hunter fury (appearently) over dogs, blacklisters

[bold tiger]

i got a not fun build to farm for pestilence as the 2 pieces drops with armor cores and the 3rd a named item drops think skill tier? then the rest isn't so bad, it's just those 3 pieces is a pain

[steep void]

Yes

[storm crescent]

Best way to farm stretch goals solo?

[pseudo tundra]

priority objectives as usual

if you have leftovers journey and scouts can do that also

[bold tiger]

if you've done all your scouts and manhunts then priority objectives spamming usualy strongholds if possible

[storm crescent]

Bet thanks guys

Which channel for conflict grinders?

[nimble spruce]

For discussions, #td2-pvp-discussions , for finding others to play with, #lfg-playstation

[median flare]

Hello guys I have a question about the rank up event

[nimble spruce]

Well, you found the right place to ask it

[median flare]

Last night I was rnk 141 in the event and now this morning I’m 101 and I can’t collect anything on the track

[candid verge]

Where you see level 101?
Caches are always from 1-10, so 101-110, 111-120 and so on

[nimble spruce]

That's very odd, but I did see another player over on the support discord saying the same thing

[median flare]

Idk if this helps or anything but before the reset happen my game completely crashed

[candid verge]

You mean the weekly reset? Because the event started with that, so before that you couldn’t be over level 100 🤔
Or by reset you mean you have been reset to 100?

[median flare]

The first pic is today and the second is yesterday

[median flare]

I’ve been reset to 101 yes

After Id been grinding some of the event

[candid verge]

not sure how it should be done, but the only thing I can think of is that since the game crashed and there were no logout, the sync to cloud did not happen 🤔
did you claim and open any of the caches you earned before the crash?
so you can check and confirm if you still have any of those new items in your inventory 🤔

[wheat stag]

Am i the only one who opens the new caches and doesnt get exotic from the cache BUT a new exotic magicaly appears in inventory

[pseudo tundra]

did you get it as a reward from the priority instead?

[wheat stag]

no i got a different exotic from there

it happened 3 times already

i got 2 mantis and 1 nemesis exotic

[torn tangle]

Do we have a up-to-date Doc for whats the best builds etc? Thinking of diving back into D2, but duno if my Old builds are still valid. Been around\less than a year i think since last..

[delicate tartan]

The builds work, but you might want modifiers , we have journy quests, manhunt missions, rank up after season level 100....still global events much more...

[cold pumice]

[analog nest]

Anyone got an tips on clearing the last floor of summit on heroic?

[nimble spruce]

For this season, just use the zealot modifier and charge in full dps

[analog nest]

Also this is for PS5 how do I ask for back up without being to back to dc shits getting annoying

[nimble spruce]

You can ask in #lfg-playstation
In-game I don't recall if the shd tab is available in the summit map menu, but if it is then that's where you go

[inner tendon]

You can call for backup via the Social menu, that's where I normally do it.

[winter mason]

Trying to open file, it says "problem with file"

[cold pumice]

Works fine for me, try on your pc

[analog nest]

Trying but no one joins and it constantly puts be back to dc because for some reason they have dc and call backup to the same button

[daring wren]

Try setting your group to Open under Social

[mossy peak]

does someone know what I can do, so far I haven't found anything online about it. Almost every single time i craft something at the crafting station and close it I get locked so I can't move open ESC menu or anything. Almost everytime I craft something I have to restart the game ever since I started playing...

[left plinth]

How to sprint faster?
During my grind in Countdown I've seen alot of players able to sprint significantly faster than me while holding their pistol out
I did the same but it doesn't work

[daring wren]

Quickstep pistol lets you run 20% faster I believe it is

[left plinth]

Ah okay

More grinding then

[nocturne siren]

Quick Step doesn't drop in open loot. It's an event exclusive item and that event has passed already

[mellow trout]

It'll probably roll back in around Christmas

[nocturne siren]

We can only speculate the next Loot Goblin will drop the pistol when the next holiday season hits

As to why the devs didn't include that in the stretch caches loot, idk, but fingers crossed we see it in the loot pool for the Loot Goblin

[bold tiger]

i could see the devs be like "nah, you will only get it when we feel generous" kind of like the lexington

[somber pumice]

For the Pesti build that’s currently on the guide, is it fine to just run 3p provi instead of the 3p lengmo? I’m not sure how much the lengmo bonuses compare to the 8% crit chance and 13% crit damage lost from provi set bonuses. The ticks are currently hovering around 1.5 mil so that’s good enough I think?

It feels fine on the field as is so not sure if unicorn rolling a lengmo piece with GC is that worth it effort wise

[daring wren]

It's not worth the pain and suffering. PGC would be better

I've been running Ceska GC personally I doubt the diference is much

[somber pumice]

Current set up im running is 3p Provi with PGC, ceska vigilance, overdogs and foxes

[daring wren]

That looks good to me

[somber pumice]

Solid 58-59% crit and still high ticks so I’m wondering if the 30% Lengmo is that worth it

[daring wren]

If you go with the PGC chest the rest of it isn't too bad to farm/craft if you want to try it

[tribal hemlock]

I have a very important question for the community.

When is it no longer "too soon" to wear the Santa outfit?

1️⃣ It's never to soon
2️⃣ After Thanksgiving
3️⃣ December 1st
4️⃣ December 25th

[somber pumice]

Have you tried the PGC and Lengmo set up? If so, how high are your ticks on average?

Cause for me anymore set tweaks is basically just less crit chance (potentially higher base damage, not sure how the math works with LMG damage), and better ticks

[daring wren]

Let me try it tonight

[somber pumice]

But sacking ceska and 2 pieces of province would nuke my crit chance by like 16% which is uh

[daring wren]

Honestly I'm a bit lazy and usually run Pestilence with Strikers lol

[somber pumice]

That sounds really rough for minor tick increase

[timber hearth]

Is there an alternative to get the Tempest besides Summit Lvl 100?, I don't really have the time to fully play through summit anymore sadly.

[pseudo tundra]

Manhunt climax mission

[timber hearth]

The pact?

[pseudo tundra]

It drops both exotics

Yeah

Both tempest and the kneepad

[timber hearth]

Ah ok is the blueprint given as well?

Thinking of going for a tempest shield build

[pseudo tundra]

Yeah it should

[timber hearth]

Alright nice, thank you

[pseudo tundra]

If not inaya will have it after you collect

[timber hearth]

I'm just speedrunning scouts rn since I recently just came back specifically for the tempest lol

[daring wren]

I just saw 2M ticks with Pestilence and Backbone stacked full with that same setup

3pc Lengmo w/ Backbone, PGC, Foxes, Overdogs

[somber pumice]

Hmm, sizable increase could be worth it. I’ll be 10% down since I prefer vigilance over unstoppable force so for me it’ll be 1.8-1.9mil if I do go lengmos

How’s your per shot/crit rate/crit damage?

[daring wren]

exp 30 Pestilence is 149.2K, 55.5% chc, 141% chd

[somber pumice]

Oh does expertise affect your tick damage since it’s wep damage

I’m at 15/30 but I don’t think it’ll matter THAT much

[daring wren]

Shoot I had modifiers on. Let me try without

[wispy merlin]

it does

[somber pumice]

So crit chance is consistent ish with current build, 24% something less crit damage which is about expected, but an extra 30% to base which is still nice + more tick damage. But rolling for a perfect lengmo backpack with vigilance is gonna take me eons. Might need to cave and roll with a backbone lmao

[daring wren]

Yeah. Those unicorns where you need everything right are a PITA

[somber pumice]

Unicorning a mask and holster shouldn’t be too bad but I absolutely dread that backpack. An alternative to save me heart break would be to sack Foxes Prayers since the DToOC is stacking with LMGs but that seems like actual trolling damage wise. Then just roll mask holster knees

[daring wren]

1.572M I've seen so far w/o modifers so pretty much the same lmao

[somber pumice]

You think I can cope a Petrov backpack instead of Foxes lmao

[arctic thunder]

Anyone gotten ouro or eagle from stretch goals yet?

[analog nest]

Is there a way to find invaded strongholds in other peoples game I just finished all mine I just realized I need one for technician part 5

[somber pumice]

You can go to the mission, hit the start up option and select mission mode as invaded

Regardless of completion or not

[daring wren]

1.9M ticks no modifiers so far 😎

[somber pumice]

Guess that’s my next project, retaliations for days baby

[real cypress]

does td2 still use EAC? i havent seen it recently

[pseudo tundra]

yes

[real cypress]

ah ok thanks

btw can i do master manhunt missions with friends who havent unlocked master difficulty?

[wispy merlin]

if you unlocked it, make sure you're solo first then set the mission to master and invite them in

if it's this season master make sure they've done scouts

[snow cargo]

It's all on the pesti guide

[desert thunder]

Why is my pestilence ticks not ticking. there times where there is a sliver of health on the enemy with a full dose of pestilence and it dont kill them out. like what gives I thought it is a buff and not a Hazard

[wide jolt]

Looks like your tick bonus ran out (the icon on top of their head disappeared)

[desert thunder]

That's why I trying to figure this out I been running the build day one and usually five hits and there dead so did it get nurfed

[wide jolt]

Sometimes bullets dont land so the pesti tick bonus doesnt build up.
When this happens, it damages a little and then the bonus runs out.
Not a nerf, just the way its suppsoed to be.

[mellow trout]

It would help to post your build

[desert thunder]

Coyotes mask fenrous chess piece glass Cannon four strikers all red built

And I know my striker's not even popping up too

[real cypress]

how do i quickly grind exp for the stretch goals?

and does the final reward have a chance to drop a raid exotic?

[desert thunder]

Priority objectives

[real cypress]

what about activites like missions or strongholds

[desert thunder]

That too gives you XP as well but then with the priority objectives you get extra on top of it

Usually I try to get stronghold priorities

[real cypress]

why cant i select the legendary difficulty on capitol hill?

does it have to do with the invaded missions

[desert thunder]

So if I do Roosevelt Island I get 963 XP on top of the 656 for doing the objective. Now you could add some directives with it which will bump it up

[cold pumice]

Change the mission type

[desert thunder]

Do you see at the bottom there it says mission options so you go into that. Whatever your button may be, you hold down x like for me and it'll give you options to change the stronghold to different strongholds so if it's invaded you can turn it into a non-vated stronghold

[trim meadow]

These 2 bag different? Don't they deliver same amount of marksman rifle damage? (not talking about the talents. Do I really need the first one for hotshot build?

[cold pumice]

Vigilance adds more damage to the initial shot damage.

Its the talent thats more important, not so much the backpack. There are several different backpacks you could use.

[trim meadow]

So If I use the 2nd backpack (Which I've already have) all i need to change the talent right?

[tribal hemlock]

If it has Headshot Damage and Weapon Handling attributes, yes.

[outer basin]

I have a problem with this classified mission I cannot complete the collectibles is there any way to fix this I tried emptying the cash reinstalling the game and restarting my console I'm playing on PlayStation 5 can anybody recommend other way to fix this?

[oak gazelle]

they changed the Pesti a while ago, higher rate of fire, less damage per bullet etc. while the weapon itself is stronger now, the talent scales on the weapon damage, so the dot damage is actually weaker

[left ravine]

Directives do not influence seasonal XP, btw, only regular XP.

[inner tendon]

You will get +10% Seasonal XP from having the Modifiers active.

[cold pumice]

and another 10% if you own the premium pass

[turbid sapphire]

so. this is new. I was in manning zoo (Im going to personally burn down the priority mission rng calculator.) but anyway I killed fat croc killer, then.. I pushed in and held just the door then imagine my surprise when I turned around and the only adds who spawned behind me were 2 rushers.

I dont know if this is repeatable but this is a known effect in divs rng spawners, so maybe worth testing if its not already used

also coyote maks just dropped from an outcast, so prob coyote mask from coyotes might be a community pseubo

yeh nah. this has been enough fun of being suppressed by 3 outcast gunners, kill one and suddenly somehow 3 outcast bombers spawn directly behind me cuz yeh.
I wish I could say this happened once and in the same place or same room. but nah
third manning zoo in a row. life too short for this

[turbid sapphire]

you can message the leader, unless it was a shepherd, they will show in your "recent" tab of social. message them and ask to rejoin

[strange harbor]

Asking to get back on world chat MAY help sometimes.

bottom left box. It's DC region-based like central, west etc.

Like you said, some people just don't use chat altogether so it's a long shot

[limpid sequoia]

bug

[nimble zenith]

Anyone else has this extra season pass bugged? Its been like this for 20 levels

[turbid sapphire]

are you doing things that grant journey? there are things that dont surprisingly

[oak gazelle]

did you play in the DZ?
there is a bug right now, where you lose season xp instead of only darkzone xp while playing in the DZ

[nimble zenith]

I just completed the "bottom row" thinking it might fix the bug. So, yes

[nimble zenith]

I only do dz, yes. So im fuked?

[oak gazelle]

F
dunno how much you can gain through the DZ, but the negative xp seems substantial

[nimble zenith]

I've been 110 in first day and when i logged in the next i saw i was 102. Thought, weird, but ok.. and got at least 15 levels back lol and still im stuck.

I used to love these extra pass levels, so i was excited. Meh

Its not ubisoft if they dont fk something up every week 🤷‍♂️

[oak gazelle]

you need to get to the max level you were before, to start gaining caches again
I can fully understand your frustation 😄 this is a pretty stupid bug

@nimble zenith I saw you made a bug report on the official Ubisoft Discord, there is another thread you might want to look into and share your problem there
https://discord.com/channels/863058244934696961/1440640148751515780

[nimble zenith]

Ty. I posted my screenshot there too

[ornate zephyr]

anyone got the xp cheat sheet for prio obj?

[oak gazelle]

you can use mine, but it's without the 2x xp so you need to calculate it
#ask-td2-community message
or just double the base value (you need to make a copy to edit)

[candid verge]

I might be wrong, but it shows Premium inactive, so I assume you don't have the premium season pass 🤔
it doesn't show your season level on that screenshot and from the progress bar you can be 101 or 111 🤷‍♂️
if you were already above 110, then you can't claim 111 until you claim the caches from 101-110

[nimble zenith]

Yes, you are wrong. In multiple ways. But ty for trying

[median flare]

I have this bug too

[median flare]

I figured the glitch had something to do with dz because everytime I lost levels was when I went into the dz

I was at 141 yesterday and lost every single level I had

[wheat stag]

i just bought battle for brooklyn are there any tips i should know?

[split crystal]

You may wanna adapt to the fact control points are armed with automated turrets

[wheat stag]

really?

[split crystal]

No, you can’t control it once you take control

[split crystal]

Yep

[wheat stag]

lol

[storm crescent]

Stretch goals go to tier 200 battle pass or unlimited

[pseudo tundra]

Unlimited

[storm crescent]

oki thanks

[nimble spruce]

Double season xp this week only applies to 100 season levels though (so only up to 200 if you had the pass maxed before the week started)

[wheat stag]

which manhunt goes first alani kelso or agent kelso

[pseudo tundra]

The one in NY stranded tanker

[wheat stag]

but do i have to complete battle for brooklyn before doing manhunt?

[pseudo tundra]

No

Stranded tanker is from WONY

[wheat stag]

oh got it

thanks

[devout arrow]

Just completed The manager on master and following reflexes deleted Tinkerer mask I was grinding for. It was the last item I was missing in overall. Question, after receiving the item it will be added to general loot pool?

Damn it... after a break was grinding so hard for this mask ://

[candid verge]

you can try again, though it won't be a guaranteed drop, it's rng, I did the same 🤦‍♂️

[devout arrow]

I mean after I got it, maybe it will be added to general loot pool so I could grind targeted loot and get it that way?

[inner tendon]

@devout arrow It's not added to the pool. Nor will it be.

You can get another 100% drop, you just need to run it on Master on a different Agent.

[devout arrow]

I believe its not necessary to run another char but oh man, I cant believe this happenned... first time ever such a thing and for the last item missing...

[candid verge]

not necessary, but if you run it on a 2nd character with which you haven't completed on Master, then it's a 100% guaranteed drop, otherwise with the same character you already completed the drop chance is much lower

[warped sand]

Im having a very hard time leveling my modifiers. I spent all day yesterday and 3 hours today trying to level up zealot and it takes forever. What am I missing?

[nimble spruce]

retaliations give a large chunk of modifier xp for the related modifier (eg outcast retaliations will give lots of zealot xp, regardless of which modifier you actually have equipped at the time)

[warped sand]

So is spamming retaliation a good strategy?

[gleaming wigeon]

Really struggling to do this Journey objective, I've tried using HH to take out the named enemy as my other builds are more status and D,O,T, Any suggestions please? 🤔

[nimble spruce]

you just need to keep killing those 'leader' rikers (the ones who give their teammates bonus health) while other enemies are nearby, that's what applies the bleed

[gleaming wigeon]

Specifically Rikers?

[nimble spruce]

yes, only rikers have that specific archetype, just as only true sons have foamers etc. Make sure you have the right passive mod equipped (the one you unlocked with the first task on that journey stage)

[gleaming wigeon]

Ok thanks for that 👍

[terse cairn]

are the 2 new exotics in retaliation now ?

[nimble spruce]

if you mean the crafting blueprints, overdogs and shroud will be added next season

[terse cairn]

how about tempest

[nimble spruce]

I'm sure tempest and blacklist will stay exclusive to the climax mission

dunno if they'll keep it in summit f100 or not in addition

[terse cairn]

My inventory was full and when i finsihed the mission , the got dropped on the ground and couldnt take them since i accidently quit via the helicopter , and now i did the climax mission again but it didn't give me them anymore , how can i obtain them then

[nimble spruce]

You can keep running the climax mission for a chance (iirc it's about 10% drop chance on Master difficulty, 7% for heroic).
You can also try running it on a second character, they might (I'm not sure on this) have the 100% chance on first completion of Master difficulty.

[pseudo tundra]

tempest also drops from floor 100 of the summit with a higher chance but just tempest

[nimble spruce]

true, should have mentioned that

[candid verge]

others keep saying it works on 2nd character 100% drop if it's FTC on Master 🤷‍♂️

[nimble spruce]

yeah that's probably the first thing to try

[turbid sapphire]

its a "look" at door spawn control

was the door pic an issue?

it wasnt an exploit or anything. no personal info

ok. so no longer ujsing pic to help. neat

[inner tendon]

@turbid sapphire Describing an exploit in detail will obviously not be allowed on the official discord.

[turbid sapphire]

I guess spawn doors is an exploit. noted. cuz I know for a fact the one in lincoln is publized actively on this discord

[inner tendon]

I don't know what you're talking about, but you've been told not to discuss how to manipulate spawns.
If I had seen that, I would've deleted it too.

We're not omniscient, feel free to let us know.

[turbid sapphire]

just type "look at door" in search. its pages on pages of it
but anyway. nn, noted on the new rule

[inner tendon]

It's not a new rule, and stop arguing.

That is not an invitation to continue.

[turbid sapphire]

Riven I know what your doing.
nn

[inner tendon]

Yes, we're all out to get you. I know.

Just give it a rest today.

[real cypress]

how good is the lexington compared to st elmo?

[snow cargo]

Depends. Burst DPS lex the rest Elmo kind wins.

[tribal hemlock]

They're both good. I switch between both depending on the situation. I'd recommend using both a lot and figuring out when you prefer one over the other.

[real cypress]

i feel like its hard to give up st elmo's crit mods and the 70 round mag but at the same time i think id like using lexington with fast hands

[drowsy needle]

St. Elmo’s in my book is as good as momento solid utility and usefulness in most if not all situations.

[tribal hemlock]

So Lexington will reward you for more accuracy because the mag is smaller but it'll do more damage. At longer ranges it won't do as well because each missed bullet will cost you more. You can mitigate some of the accuracy problems by scoping in (which you can't do with Elmo btw).

Elmo is more forgiving with accuracy since each missed shot doesn't cost you as much. You also get the CC and if you learn how to time it can be very useful when shooting clumps of enemies that spawn.

I mostly use Lexi because I tend to get close and like focusing individual targets. At 4 player scaling you do feel the DPS difference. In solo not so much IMO.

[inner tendon]

Small addition: but Lex' also comes pre-godrolled, which can save some hassle.

[real cypress]

for close range, would you say highe end smgs generally deal more damage compared to ARs?

[tribal hemlock]

They are good for special uses like camping spawns. The problem with SMGs is they don't stagger as well as shotguns do. So when you play close range you're gonna get shot a lot. That's fine for easier stuff (like solo heroic) but in groups, master missions, legendary, etc the enemies are so tanky that it'll take a while to kill em all. In the meantime they'll destroy you.

You can try running more blue cores, adrenaline rush, whatever... but that'll lower your damage and the result is usually the same. That's why SMGs are paired with Hunter's Fury. It gives you free CC while you're in close range so you don't get destroyed.

Using it as a secondary like that is very effective though.

Take an SMG-9 or Vector and throw Unwavering on it. Then use it in situations like that and it works great.

[novel shard]

All Depends lex wins in DPS but st Elmo wins in its mag size as well as the talent

[bold tiger]

i'm not a fan of elmo talent. too many times i shock an NPC it does this shocking animation but gliding on the floor like they're on wheels to go hide behind cover and be even more hunkered down so i can't even shoot them unless i run up and shoot them from the side of that cover

[real cypress]

i guess for one the shock ammo is nice on leg so that they dont shoot back at you

[somber pumice]

Is there a mechanic to staggering between guns or how some enemies seems to by pass them? I notice it’s super easy to stagger or get people to run away with ARs and LMGs, then things like MMRs or rifles just flat make them tumble

Cause I’m able to stagger elite heroic BTs consistently fine but master ones don’t seem to care with a consistent headshot stream

[tribal hemlock]

Honestly IDK how stagger mechanics work in this game. It does feel like if your damage is a high enough % of the enemies health then they stagger. Which would explain why shotties can stagger so consistently.

[wispy merlin]

it's mainly based on damage

[somber pumice]

Would that be the per shot value or the total being dumped into them at any given moments?

[tribal hemlock]

My guess is it's damage over Time where Time is a very tiny window.

[somber pumice]

Seems still kinda weird that SMGs would be bad at them then since their base is lower sure but the typically high RPM means you’d pass that check

[cold pumice]

I like using an SMG with unwavering for close range spawn clearing. Smg9 with unwavering reloads almost instantly and doesnt miss

[tribal hemlock]

Yea it's weird. I feel like there has to be some "% damage of total health" component to it.

[cold pumice]

Seems like its probably X damage in X time like you said, but the time is probably extremely short.

Probably some sort of internal invisible stacking mechanic with a very quick depletion.

[somber pumice]

Might also be a faction thing, I’ve sent BTs running with LMG headshot bursts but Hyenas do not care and will side gun me to death

[cold pumice]

Probably just an RNG element to it, wouldnt surprise me lol

[somber pumice]

Really wish it wasn’t sometimes, I know it’s a terrible habit to stand in open fire and trade shots but it’s tempting when I’m accurate enough to stagger multiple people and kill fast

Then i see an MG unit and i book it because those dudes do not care

[cold pumice]

The majority of spawns will gave a weakspot in there to destroy that'll stagger everyone anyway. Grenade pouch, gunner ammo pouch etc. So just aim lower :p

[somber pumice]

Nothing quite like making a group of Hyenas do drugs all at once. But yeah weak points are also super nice for foddering units, though I’m not sure where they are on BTs aside from the backpack

But at some point I favored just murdering them dead on (not sure how effective it is)

[cold pumice]

Nornally just spray across everyones waistbands, that'll do it most of the time 😅

Or stand slightly to the side of the spawn point, so you can quickly catch backpacks

[somber pumice]

Will try, still working towards my first no rev Heroic TB. Thanks for the tips

[cold pumice]

Tidal is a bit more tricky as most of the enemies are already spawned, theres quite few in the way of spawn points.

[somber pumice]

Could do it with a safer red + exodus gloves but I’ve been trying to get the hang of PGC and I’m stubborn :p

[cold pumice]

Only really in the final arena and you ideally dont want to be too close to that areas

[somber pumice]

PGC is so nice, consistent damage and TTK for no ramp time

[cold pumice]

It is nice, until you get a particularly persistant head popper :p

[somber pumice]

We don’t talk about the black tusk double shot sniper ok they’re not real

[muted lance]

nice event

[terse cairn]

yep it worked , got them on the 2nd char

[nimble spruce]

Thanks for confirming

[fiery dagger]

Does Enforcer shotgun still drop in DZ?

[nimble spruce]

It never has, it was a pre order bonus, you might be able to buy a weapons pack in the store that includes it, but it was never free.

[cold pumice]

This is one of my pet hates 😭 why can't the just make the gate open the other way 🤣

[clever fjord]

did no one say tempest got a reconfigure blueprint or was i horribly uninformed

[real cypress]

brother how tf do u have 50k polycarbonate

[cloud lichen]

For Manhunts where I need to clear invaded missions, do strongholds count, since I've cleared all the other invaded missions, or do I just gotta wait for weekly reset?

[karmic compass]

I don't understand why Ruthless does not let me tinker - the button is inactive (it clearly did before as I optimized it). It also doesn't have proficiency showing at all, even though I used it a fair bit? Compare to its twin, Merciless, which has the tinker button active, and proficiency showing. Is this something unique to Ruthless?

[cold pumice]

Go to the mission, go to mission options, change mission mode

[cold pumice]

Your ruthless is fully optimised.....you can see that because the stats are glowing yellow

Therefore there's nothing in the tinker menu for you to do

[steep void]

what is this?

[karmic compass]

Ok that makes sense. But what about Proficiency? It doesnt even show up

[cold pumice]

Ruthless shares it's proficiency with the Merciless.

[karmic compass]

So only one of the two will display the stat? Weird, but ok. I was worried something was wrong

[cold pumice]

Only the Merciless displays the proficiency, the Ruthless is a "special version" of the same weapon

[karmic compass]

Thank you, that really helps!

[steep void]

yes

[oak gazelle]

you already asked the same thing here and I gave you an answer 😄

[steep void]

[visual current]

I need some help please. Thanks!!! I finally bought Battle for Brooklyn but I can not get to Brooklyn 🤔 it just keeps sending me back to DC.

[fiery dagger]

That’s what I thought, but djtickle made a video 2 years ago about players having it drop in dz. Wasn’t sure that was accurate.

[oak gazelle]

yea, hope this helps this time 🙂
if it is the first login that day, 300 is the bar refill once per day

[nimble spruce]

Might have been a temporary bug, I don't recall ever hearing it mentioned though.

[fiery dagger]

Appreciate that! Didn’t want to farm for something that doesn’t exist 😂

[novel shard]

Use to be glitch not sure that patch it already

[drowsy needle]

When’s new season start?

[pseudo tundra]

Early december

[fallen basin]

Does anyone know when Emma get removed from the tinkering bench and why?

[bold tiger]

you on the correct game? Emma as in a player?

[inner tendon]

The lady who usually stands behind the Expertise station.

[bold tiger]

ohhh

[inner tendon]

my brain says to call her Emma Bunting, but that's one of the spice girls.

Emma Richards, that's it!

[fallen basin]

Thank you Rivens. Did she just get angry that she had to stand all day and never have eye contact while Inaya got to sit and chat our ears off? lol

[inner tendon]

She was driven mad by Inaya talking about making a chair, when there's literally hundreds just laying around the BoO in the side rooms.

[fallen basin]

🤣

And she needs a nice set of wrenches

[inner tendon]

If we don't find out that Inaya is related to that one guy in div1 who complained about back problems, I will eat my shoes.

They have the same energy.

[daring wren]

Better than hearing “My back is messed up. I need some meds bad” for the millionth time (slight paraphrase 😉)

[fallen basin]

I was kinda bummed when they patched that out, to be honest. hahaa

In Div2 that is. I remember on launch that line was in the game or am I having D1 flashbacks?

[inner tendon]

That's from div1, yeah.

"my back's all f----d up, I need a doctor, bad".

It was near the big storage area.

[fallen basin]

Man, Div 1 set the ground work. What a freaking GEM of a game.

[inner tendon]

We used to refer to that guy as "the one who keeps trying to scam pain meds".
both games for sure have these little fun moments. Shout-out to the snitch cards descriptions in div2.

[daring wren]

Reference to “RNG-JC” something on one of the craftable mods

[fallen basin]

Forgot to ask, do the stretch rewards continue ad infinitum until the season ends?

[cold pumice]

No, until 2nd December

[inner tendon]

@cold pumice psst, december.

[cold pumice]

Yeah, that too

Afternoon drinking, not good

[inner tendon]

It's classy as long as it's after 5.
for some reason.

[cold pumice]

Im getting old, im napping by 7pm so i have to start earlier if im gonna 🤣

[high glade]

That's the secret. It's always 5 (or close enough) somewhere. 😂

I've got a clock that doesn't work hung up at the winery that's set to 5 all the time. 😌

[cold pumice]

Its always 5 if I take the batteries out of the clock

[nocturne siren]

just to make the lexington grinders angry:

[drowsy needle]

I’ve gotten 12 of them today

[drowsy needle]

I don’t drink anymore, don’t have the legs for it.

[nocturne siren]

My goal was to get overdogs and a dupe shroud. Well, I opened all of 5 caches and got shroud first try. Second cache gave me overdogs. For day 1 of stretch goals (I had work all week so today is my day 1), that's pretty damn good. Also got 2 lex's which I don't need so both got decon'd. Same with Caretaker. I'm hoping maybe just maybe I can snag an EB or another Regulus for my main PvE character

[visual current]

What Lexington should I keep ? 1 has Overflowing and the has Thunder Strike. Thanks!!

[slim elk]

both, Lexi comes with an open talent slot, which means you can change it to whatever AR talent you want as much as you desire

[visual current]

Thanks!!! What's good for a Striker build ?

[slim elk]

Killer or Measured

[slim maple]

Devs what is the max number of bounties we can get in one area?

[nocturne siren]

Unsure but a bit over a dozen I think. I've got tons saved up

[somber pumice]

How would we rate caretaker? Got one from the stretch goals boxes and it seemed pretty fine

[slim maple]

I want to make sure that I don't break the game is why I am asking

[slim maple]

I could look at it and see for you what build?

[somber pumice]

Any standard build is fine, was wondering if it would be anything decent or am I just playing Lex Killer but worse

[nocturne siren]

Shoot targets at 25m+ and you'll notice the accuracy is absolutely terrible. The Famas, M4, P416 or CTAR easily outperform it at range. Caretaker is best as a mid to close range weapon

[somber pumice]

My goat Famas has yet to fail me I suppose

[slim maple]

I enjoy the Lexington at that range and beyond

Lex > Famas in overall performance but Famas is still super good

Lex only has like 5k more damage than m4 so if you've used the police M4 you've basically used a slightly weaker lex

[somber pumice]

My personal go to for M4s is still Elmo’s but Lex feels better in bursts

[slim maple]

It's full auto

[nocturne siren]

He means burst DPS

[somber pumice]

Yeh

[nocturne siren]

Lexington has a higher burst DPS im pretty sure due to it taking a damage talent

[bold tiger]

like he does a crap ton of damage in a short time frame

[nocturne siren]

Plus has more overall damage than Elmo's so

[somber pumice]

I might slap on empty on it, burnout was pretty fun

Measured is good but the second half of the mag feels so slow

[nocturne siren]

Give it a try, why not

[nocturne siren]

Just wait until we get the new Salvo holster. It'll add 13% rate of fire

[bold tiger]

imagine if you had huntsman Perfect Frenzy on a famas (> <)

[somber pumice]

I have Huntsman yeah

[nocturne siren]

Huntsman kinda sucks tbh

[somber pumice]

Did a schizo BFB Hunter hunting sess, my biggest gripe with it is the mag size isn’t anywhere big enough to make Frenzy shine like the LMGs

[pseudo tundra]

it's very fun

[bold tiger]

yeah, i was excited for the frenzy bit but was kind of like eh?

[somber pumice]

With the new sets of alloy units coming I’d love it with the new mag size bonus I’m sure

[nocturne siren]

Eh, having to build 3 piece unit alloys locks you out of strikers. Could go high end but you'd still be Crit starved. Strikers will still outperform. That leaves you with a few options-

1.) ninjabike (please don't)
2.) ninjabike
3.) ninjabike

[somber pumice]

It’s ok I’ll live without strikers, I play most HE comfy builds haha

My current set up is 3p provi/ceska overdogs and foxes. Does the job well enough even group legos

I ain’t no MVP but it’s not a slacker either

[nocturne siren]

So you're willing to trade up Ceska + Grupo + Fenris or 3pc providence for 3 piece unit alloy? That's leaving a tonnnn of crit on the table

[somber pumice]

It’s ok I’ll just play Elmo’s and pretend like I have enough crit

[nocturne siren]

Bc we all know contractors and fox's are best in slot kneepads and coyote is best in slot for mask

[somber pumice]

SURELY it won’t be an issue

[nocturne siren]

3 providence is decent 💯

Mathematically tho you'd be sacrificing too much just to unlock the mag size and AR damage. 2 pieces is just too much. Ceska with Salvo holster would definitely be worth it to overall improve Burst DPS (striker assuming)

[somber pumice]

It’s a lazy set meant to help me get free CHC and damage for little effort. Tack vigi, PGC on it and even if I don’t aim at overdogs target they die fast enough (tho most times the low pros bum rush me so it’s not an issue)

Salvo is just a non argument kinda piece innit. I could easily sack Ceska and keep the provi 3p bonus for the CHD if I wanna min max that hard

[nocturne siren]

Considering you'd have plenty of crits anyways, you probably could full ditch ceska for Salvo

3 piece providence is too good not to use

[somber pumice]

since without Ceska you’re still sitting at a comfortable 48% base crit no mods

[nocturne siren]

My argument for when that holster drops is roll it for crit chance. Why? Well, I'd rather lose 12% chd for 8% rof attribute instead of 6% chc

[somber pumice]

It should be fine no matter what tho I think, since it’s a edit whatever the second slot drops for you as no matter what, so you can just retinker it on the fly

Besides its always a better gain to increase CHC past a certain point of CHD which we all seem to hit anyways

[nocturne siren]

I play both pvp and PvE so chances are I'll have one with a red core and one with a blue core

[somber pumice]

Ah fair enough

[eternal quiver]

Hallo everyone I have been searching for THE VIRGINIAN 1885 rifle for a while and i can't find it, would anyone on here have one

[rugged stratus]

already answered. #td2-build-advice message

[left plinth]

Best Skill Mod for Crusader Shield using for Striker?

[real cypress]

uh just get the ones that increase your active regen, holstered regen and shield hp

they are not significant buffs to the shield at 0 skill tier tho fyi

if u dont have these mods, consider using firewall for the better shield that has damage amp to targets in front of the shield

and it comes with 2 maxed out mods too

[left plinth]

I'll just get whatever among the 3 you mentioned if it has max stats then

[dense basalt]

Wasn't a glitch. Just used to be something you could do with multiple characters

[novel shard]

Oh

[plucky moth]

Death on heroic used to be a wipe yes? I am a returning player and was surprised while doing Tidal that we did not wipe did they change it?

[cold pumice]

As in, you start again?

You can be revived from death, provided your team doesn't wipe.

If you die, there are no checkpoints until the final room in heroic missions.

[plucky moth]

So once you reached the final battle on all missions it no longer wipe?

[cold pumice]

Yes

[plucky moth]

Thx

Does that apply also on legendary and master difficulty?

[cold pumice]

Yes

[plucky moth]

Great

[cold pumice]

Only before the final boss, not "in mission bosses"

[nimble spruce]

Also random rogue encounters in heroic have a checkpoint for if you die

[somber pumice]

Weirdly enough Bardons manhunt has no checkpoints aside from the hunter. Died at at Bardon and got sent back to the start so it surprised me

[nimble spruce]

That must be an oversight

[real cypress]

guys is it a viable strat to grind stretch goals for raid exotics?

[pseudo tundra]

not so much

it wont hurt to use the extra seasonal XP

[cold pumice]

Viable, no.

Worth doing on the off chance? Yes

[real cypress]

the ravenous has been evading me 🥀

[neat matrix]

anyone got checkpoint for floor 100 on summit

[obtuse wedge]

I’ve seen a lot more eagle bearers drop this round then last round so I’d say give it a shot

[winter mason]

where do shotguns drop? looking for Brazen talent

[cold pumice]

Anywhere, especially places where shotguns are the targetted loot

[winter mason]

I dont see shotguns targeted loot location here

[novel shard]

Play countdown on challenging or heroic and set the target loot to shotguns and matchmake

[candid verge]

you can set your targeted loot in countdown, summit and retaliation

[winter mason]

chest piece just dropped , good rolls?

[novel shard]

Hmmmmmmm good rolls wrong brand ish

[tribal hemlock]

Yea it could be useful for a PvP build. For PvE PFE regen build Golan/Belstone is better.

I haven't PvP'd in a long time but I used to use this

[nocturne siren]

thats crit???

personally youd be better off taking the usual regen build as for the piece that @winter mason showcased, I'd personally just swap the core on it and try it on a weird all red regen build just to see how that would work lol

for those who dont know, if you have Houndsman bounties saved up, you can still farm Quickstep. I managed to find 1 in my bounties and now I have my 4th pistol:

unfortunately I got the satan roll...

[candid verge]

all Quicksteps from the event cache like that, all of them are with min attributes 🤷‍♂️

[nocturne siren]

if that was true, then why is my other one different? 😂

[candid verge]

if you got them during the event as a drop from the mini warhounds they had normal attribute values

[nocturne siren]

it was an infrequent bug. not a constant bug

I got all of mine from the caches

actually you might be right 💀

[candid verge]

maybe, but most of the ones I got from event caches were like that, though didn't check them all 🤷‍♂️
the difference was the attribute, but all of them - the ones I checked - were minimum values

[nocturne siren]

they really need to change the source tab to display more information. like LOOT DROP or Cache drop. my other one also says looted but I know I got this one out of the cache

ill check 1 more character and see if it says rewarded. this is the first one I got that's satan rolled

yeah my other one also came from a cache but it says looted. at this rate i just dont know anymore. too many bugs in this game to keep track

[tribal hemlock]

uhhhh, don't laugh at me, but it's a mix of crit and hsd lol. The chest is crit yea. Rest has HSD.

[nocturne siren]

might say looted bc of the fact my inventory is constantly full and I picked it up off the ground after it opened from a cache 😂

ill test sum rq with opening caches with a full inventory and see if it says looted

[candid verge]

actually I have 4 more in my stash, 3 rewarded and 1 looted
1 out of the 3 rewarded is satan roll, the others are maxed out 🤔

[ornate zephyr]

when the event is active there's 2 cache, both can give you quickstep.

[nocturne siren]

full inventory (I decon'd junk in my inventory to make room) and this is what one piece of gear says. when i pick it up, it says the same thing. at this rate I just dont know lmao

[ornate zephyr]

one WILL always drop the min stat, while the other will give you a random rolled one.

[nocturne siren]

was it the event cache one that dropped the min stat?

[ornate zephyr]

what does the current houndsman give

[nocturne siren]

it gave me just the event cache, but not the Halloween 25 cache

[ornate zephyr]

that must be it.

[nocturne siren]

has to be then. I likely got my other pistols from the other cache. I never once got quickstep to drop from the hounds bc well, I didnt care to farm for it that way. I logged in during the Halloween 25 event to get the outfit and a few dupes and I stopped playing again

glad to know im not crazy 😂

[candid verge]

I still have a few Houndsman bounties, so I can confirm when I do them, but it seems the event cache was the one that give us the satan roll 🤔

I did one today and it was like that for sure 🙂

[nocturne siren]

I had a feeling that was the case. If Hello didnt pipe up we'd likely still be pondering how the hell that happened 😂

[candid verge]

probably 😄

[raven coral]

Hey guys, new/returning player. I see its pretty easy to group up and get support in game but do i have to worry about suspensions/bans just for playing with a cheater? i've seen suspensions happen in other pc games i play just being associated or saying the wrong thing in game and wondering about the stance in this ubisoft game.

[cold pumice]

Cheating isn't really much of a thing outside of PvP in the division, so don't worry about it.

almost 900 hours, never seen anyone I thought was cheating

[winter mason]

the weapon dropped today for me, i already have it

[candid verge]

Did you buy the blueprint from Inaya?

[winter mason]

thank you im stupid lol

[humble frigate]

Interesting. How do I find such a person with one

[winter mason]

How many times can you reclaim those?

as long as its live and ongoing?

[nocturne siren]

#lfg-pc

[humble frigate]

[nocturne siren]

As long as the event is active. You can even save up a ton and open them after the event is complete

just to anger those who want turmoil:

[winter mason]

And also godrolled
