Comes that way

[cold pumice]

They're all god roled

Not that a god rolled turmoil matters. I dislike them so much I didn't even break mine down, just dropped them 🤣

[winter mason]

How does one aquire Turmoil knee pads?

[cold pumice]

Stretch goal caches

[rain sigil]

Anyone know where I can find 3d models of SHD watches to print for a hunter cosplay?

[proven rock]

ill @ u in a chat i just had about it with some other guy

[rain sigil]

Ok thx

[proven rock]

#fanart-and-photomode

[civic junco]

What is the Jefferson Plaza mission? Is that Jefferson Trade Center?

[cold pumice]

No, two different missions

[civic junco]

Yeah just found it hiddon on bottom of map

[turbid sapphire]

So. I mention a month ago I died in hardcore, res didnt go off and shepherd became possible. I might have found why. not a fix, but why.

Iv been testing a new variant of my hh hybrid. this one a full crit dmg, hf, with hh providence, finisher and bighor sr-1, gunner

I was in roosevelt, and I went down to general fire bs, and my own res hive had a red target line to me, did not activate, and on getting up told me "on cd" (this was on my main, not hardcore)

its possible I lagged due to it being a steamdeck playtime, and I did die to adds. but the bug out on the shepherd, may have been, the game didnt identify the hive as mine, and since this isnt possible to "go down" without hive in HC, the games code probably translated it as "call for help, normal game"

anyway, not being able to use your hive is a thing I guess, and has happened twice now.

[rain sigil]

I'm gonna ask but doubt anyone can or knows someone who can, but is anyone here capable of ripping assets from the game so I could rework some models and make them 3d printing compatible

Found most of what I need but 1 thing is just not out there

[proven rock]

Wdym assets from the game, as in screenshot of the division tech?

[rain sigil]

No it's like pulling assets from a game. People use it when they make renders for example

[pseudo tundra]

like model of a hunter to use in Gmod and so on

[nocturne siren]

My buddy has the rogue keychain 3D model, I can shoot a quick picture here in channel of what it looks like

I can see if I can get the 3D file from him if you want

[rain sigil]

Sorta. I kinda need wrights chest armor for my cosplay. I could also just get a cheap plate carrier or chest rig and use EVA foam but I thought maybe I can 3d print it or some pieces of it

[tribal hemlock]

If I ever see a Wright cosplayer I’m squirting them with water.

[nocturne siren]

🍾

[rain sigil]

I intend on doing a wright cosplay

No I do not intend on setting myself on fire

Yes I was crazy enough to see if I could get any kind of fire proof material and gel to set myself on fire

No I can not

[tribal hemlock]

I’m glad you chose reason lol

[rain sigil]

I didn't choose reason

It chose me

[rain sigil]

Well now I'm imagening someone using Cooler during the wright encounter

[rain sigil]

and even if I couldn't 3d print it. Having a model for reference would be great

[dawn wave]

Found this interesting balloon below the Washington monument

is this a easter egg or something?

[wispy sail]

I don't understand all this hyden hotel things

[wispy sail]

Its most likely a reference to hyden hotels

[civic junco]

What are the teirs for expertise? How many proficient items do I need for each tier?

[rain sigil]

It's part of a secret called "the hidden hotels". Each has a button. Interacting with all of them opens a loot room at the bottom of the Washington monument control point

[dawn wave]

Ah nice

[candid verge]

Each tier show you the points you need to reach the next tier.
AFAIK the higher you are the less points need for the next tier. At level 26 for example it’s 90. 🤔

[rain sigil]

If they can get wrights harness or even just his model so I could take reference that would be great

[civic junco]

I finally finished the tutorial. So now what do I do?

[slim elk]

there was a tutorial?

[civic junco]

Took me 676h and 51 minutes to hit SHD 1000 lol

[rain sigil]

Exist

[civic junco]

Well, that is easy because no matter where I go, there I am.

[rugged stratus]

now its time to take off the training wheels and run some glass on that

[civic junco]

I have it just haven't upgraded it yet

But the time is coming

I think I'll make this my next project because the Lex came with Dttooc and max roll so good on that end and the Huntsman is kinda meh compared to the Caretaker which also came Dttooc and max roll. So not gonna waste anymore mats on that.

[novel shard]

Keep going

[sharp osprey]

The tutorial is 10,000 SHD!!

[civic junco]

Do named items you missed now get sent to your mailbox in stash? Because I haven't been in the DZ for weeks and I just got a Big Show delivered?

And it had the orange new item tag and everything

[novel shard]

No

[rain sigil]

Dare ya to run the new exotic kneepads with a glass cannon chest piece and vigilance backpack in legendary tidal basin

[snow cargo]

I ran it on a solo for my first using it. It’s pretty interesting.

[real cypress]

is the pakhan a good exotic lmg? how do i get it?

[cold pumice]

It's meh

You can get it from anywhere

[nocturne siren]

Pakhan is a fairly decent LMG but any other high end LMG would output way more damage. M249, MK46, MG5, all with either frenzy or killer. And all of them have a decent magsize unlike Pakhan that requires getting kills to increase mag size. It's like "on empty" talent but if you swapped it to each kills boosts mag size which applies to the next reload

Even Pestilence / Bluescreen / Iron Lung would do considerably more VS what Pakhan can do. Pesti has ticks, Damage over Time, and bluescreen/iron both have built in crowd control talents. Makes harder difficulty content a bit easier on DPS builds

Overall: Pakhan is fun but there's more efficient options. Use at your own discretion

[tribal hemlock]

@rain sigil yes oxidizer can be useful

it's used a lot in speedruns too

[royal briar]

I'm planning to get Tempest with the Floor 100 Summit, but I don't know whether the odds are increased on higher difficulty, could someone enlighten me on the subject?

[cold pumice]

Why not just do the manhunt master mission for a 100% chance at getting it

ANd yes difficult affects chance. 45% chance on Legendary, but it's on floor completion so it's a slog to farm on a coin toss

[novel shard]

Yup

[cold pumice]

Tagging me for that is worse than someone just replying to a text with "ok" 🚫

[turbid sapphire]

EEEW IT WAS YOU

lol unironically I was like... why do I know his name 🙁

[clever fjord]

he so good

[drowsy needle]

Does Incoming repairs apply to armor regen ? If so how effective is it?

[real cypress]

incoming repairs apply to external sources of healing applied to you only

so armor regen has nothing to do with incoming repairs

and no its not a very good stat to be investing in if ur building for pvp, just use armor regen

[turbid sapphire]

its ok, he doesnt see my pings.

anyway moving on. I want to give this to the community. Iv recently been fooling with hf, and as Iv fooled with it, Iv found its use to be above average and its refolded and rebuilt my og hhstriker. for context, because people are curious, my builds dont hotswap, they often have a skill curve to keep the game fun and engaging and have self sustain, high dmg and weapon synergy without leaning on 1 role. they are designed for all gameplay, solo, group, and used to keep the game fun and interactive.

https://tinyurl.com/HF-HH-BH-Sr1-Finisher-H19B

the synergy in this build offers 25m+ potential determined, 16m, min. it has a finisher that set bighorn to 50% chc/159% chd, it has a high dmg demo drone, and a shield that melds with bighorn. the gunner and hf give +30% AoK, if you play close like I do, it offers high amp potential as well

chest BH is 800-900k, headshot goes as high as 2m+, this does not use modifiers or other players to hit this. (finisher required)

[cold pumice]

Lets see it in action

[turbid sapphire]

Ill do lincoln, cus chow does that one.
the clip will be the first 3 rooms

[turbid sapphire]

for context, because I just made this and I lil lazy right now, some dmg is missing, but that ok. Ill provide some long term gameplay of firing range as well, no memento short term, for obvious reasons.

my hand began shaking in room 2 due to too much caffeine, but that ok, this means your average player can use this ❤️ (no implication of lovely averageplayer-, no hate all love)

-_- I recently found out sr-1 has a hs mod, so I had remake my beloved providence

[real cypress]

is umbra still a decent dps gear set?

wait lowkey imma cook something using umbra + tinkerer and lmgs

[turbid sapphire]

oh I forgot why I picked bighorn all those hours ago. so for those mad lads who hate determined, this build also has a bighorn hh scope in option

my assumption here will be vaguely inaccurate but will likely be close. with full memento, thisll prob hit 11-12m, with short term, maybe 12.5m?

not advised for groups

[dense whale]

try to find a group of people and do the raids i guess

finished my journey mission after ages

[desert thunder]

So I guess there is a cap on the rank up event I reach level 200 I'm not allowed to earn anymore which is messed up

[nocturne siren]

youll run out of ammo quicker than ouroboros

[turbid sapphire]

holy crap! also, I learend something as well. the decodes are not rendom. this is most noticable because each stronghold gives a different journey reward on "heroic" this may not exist for lego. but the "journey" grant is glitchy but readable. the dua gives 1200, the manning/tidal gives 1800, capital gives 1600, and roosevelt gives 1400. these numbers arent exact but close enough to use as a refrence

journey activated refrence/mods

[nocturne siren]

to be fair, if you click "toggle details", it shows you right there. this is to prevent level exploitting for those who know how to do so

[nimble spruce]

Hmm, various other people have reported the 2x xp multiplier stopping after 100 levels (which is expected) but no-one has said they stop getting season xp altogether.

[pseudo tundra]

did you go to DZ or something like that?

[rain sigil]

Did they give any reply?

[real cypress]

its hard to run out of ammo with ~1.2k ammo in ur back pocket, i never find myself running out of ammo unless i deliberately waste ammo

[desert thunder]

I got to 100 awhile back and was getting the 20% on the priority objectives and the daily's and weekly projects but not anymore however I can still get it from running the missions

but not a lot

Nothing more than 500

[nimble spruce]

Yeah, you've finished the double xp track of 100 levels so you just get the usual base xp +20%

Although 432 does seem oddly low for a master difficulty stronghold. Iirc heroic DUA is over 600

[nocturne siren]

none sadly

[nocturne siren]

im not 100% sure but none of the other master missions reward much either

[rain sigil]

Damn. I shall patiently wait while trying to look for different ways

[turbid sapphire]

https://dtzxporter.com/tools/hunter

I am not a modder, but this may work

[rain sigil]

Thx but I play on console so I can't rip em myself without rebuying the game on pc

[turbid sapphire]

of course, its there should you choose to. often div 2 goes on sale for 10$ USD or less, since you are useing this for 3d printer? it might be worth the effort

[nocturne siren]

car has a point here. dont need the beefiest PC, all you need are the game files

[rain sigil]

That is true

[drowsy needle]

Wait isn’t it against the tos to use game data? Isn’t it copyrighted? Just genuinely curious.

[nocturne siren]

I mean, its not like dude is gonna sell prints for money. its just for cosplay

[drowsy needle]

I know I was just curious is all.

[nocturne siren]

youre good. I donk think its against the rules at all. I myself have a rogue patch and 2 rogue keychains that are custom made

[turbid sapphire]

lord

the best knees in div

[nocturne siren]

the best exotic components ive ever seen

[pseudo tundra]

mnahunt variants appear to give quite low amount of season XP

sawyers is actually half decent, it's just the usual ignored cause not meta

[cold pumice]

Dailies do not give season xp, never have.

Only weekly projects do

[nocturne siren]

the only reason I can see considering taking them is immune to explo in pve/pvp

[desert thunder]

I cant believe how hard it is to get the Emperors guard kneepads are

[pseudo tundra]

Its works for sniper builds

Depending on the mission you pretty much just sit a corner

I think someone also used in the first solo legendary clear of union arena

[nocturne siren]

just wait for DZ to have it targeted and use ceska chest unbreakable with 4pc strikers armor + memento. chainkill headshots with EB and youre set

[drowsy needle]

Yesterday was the day dz south had em. I for one am waiting for targeted loot cause I got houndsman bounties. If emperors hits thier that’s where il be.

[desert thunder]

Not a big fan of DZ lol

[drowsy needle]

Well when marikami hits open world on houndsman spawn im locking in.

[desert thunder]

houndsman spawn whats that?

[turbid sapphire]

they have a blueprint from reconstructed

[novel shard]

Yeah I hate that

[desert thunder]

Bluebrint where aand what location as i got all the blueprints

[turbid sapphire]

context. MM is not a recognized mode for mming

[turbid sapphire]

they come from decent and retaliation

[novel shard]

Hmmmmmmm it should wait what mission is that

[turbid sapphire]

50% drop from nemy, dec vendor and retal crafting

[novel shard]

Same but all from descent

[candid verge]

correct me if I am wrong, but if it's Master, then it's a manhunt not a stronghold mission 🤔

[turbid sapphire]

thats just the RMMing options. MM isnt a queueable option. this may be because mm is not recognized as different from heroic. its a manhunt. as far as I know, I could be wrong, no manhunt ever had a lego version

this should be updated, but ubi isnt known for fast QoL improvements

[cold pumice]

Run seems odd...why is Mannys voice lower pitch?

[inner tendon]

That's definitely edited.

I know that siren sound is weird.

[cold pumice]

Its very strange, right?

[inner tendon]

Too much echo. Weird the things you recognise after so long.

I'm a tech boomer, so is there some kind of AI editing where it slows it down, then speeds it up?

[cold pumice]

Not that I know of...and even if there was..why would you use it to show a run in a game...obvious it woukd be questioned.

Something dodgy about that

[inner tendon]

Maybe it's just the software to record is odd, but I've not seen that before.

[cold pumice]

Dont give people an out 🤣

[novel shard]

Or the actor was tired or sick

[turbid sapphire]

cuz steam record is trash. the audio even cuts out consistently

but, steam offer good format, so I use it

[inner tendon]

Manny sounds like when the security wing guy from div1 has too many mash potatoes in his mouth.
That's the first time I've seen a steam recording do that.

[cold pumice]

^

Steam recording is usually pretty flawless, gotta be honest.

[turbid sapphire]

hevc is super compacted. but tbh, its not the format. Iv played it through the steam, and this actually steam. or its how div/steam and my pc interact

[cold pumice]

Its not th4 best....but it doesnt normally do that

[inner tendon]

your video card comes with recording software btw, and its pretty much perfect for stuff like this.
I once used it to record the full "almighty crashing" in des2. 6 straight hours of recording, no glitches.

[turbid sapphire]

but all my recordings do this. its not exclusive to any 1 thing.

[turbid sapphire]

hm. can you tell how to find this pls

[cold pumice]

I use medal, it records around 10gb per day of footage. Never an issue

[inner tendon]

Its installed by default on your PC, depending on which graphics card.

[turbid sapphire]

keep one thing in mind, discord even with sub, only allows for 500 mb

[nocturne siren]

I just use OBS. never have an issue with it

[inner tendon]

actually the default one you get is good, because you can record the previous x amount of footage.

old default key was alt+f10 iirc

[cold pumice]

^ almost 500 mb I believe...recorded with medal

[turbid sapphire]

Ill try to find the app option. maybe type record into the copilot

[inner tendon]

Assuming that is what I think it is, you really dont need to use AI to record game footage.
its a pretty basic system, we've had it for many years now without AI being involved.
that would explain why its such a bad quality recording.

[turbid sapphire]

Ill nab medal. Im doing a manning heroic run. so can make it with this

[inner tendon]

this is more #unofficial-troubleshooting, but let's get this over with.
whats your graphics card brand?

[turbid sapphire]

pardon? I dont use ai. copilot ios the search bar on your taskbar

[inner tendon]

copilot is powered by AI

theres a reason i violently wrenched it out of my PC

[turbid sapphire]

sure... I used steam.

[cold pumice]

Rivens should know, Copilot tried to date her

[turbid sapphire]

Im confused why we think the ai altered the video?. lord lol

[inner tendon]

she just wasnt my type

[civic junco]

Why is your DMG so low? are you using Turmoil?

[inner tendon]

That glitch at the start where the audio drops off is classic "ai breaking".
I half expected to see a chair made of coke bottles.

[nocturne siren]

Nego

[turbid sapphire]

that normal bluue screen without stacks -_-

[cold pumice]

Negotiators dilemma. Single target damage is lower but its spread over 3 targets

[civic junco]

That makes sense

[cold pumice]

The other 2 targets take more damage than the target you're shooting at

[turbid sapphire]

I lold, I work for coke

[cold pumice]

I work for money, but you probably get paid more

[inner tendon]

car' over here living in the 80's

[turbid sapphire]

unironically LOL Im doing it for something. pepsi was stunned when they pulled the option and I quit for coke. they actually thought it was the pay that kept me

[inner tendon]

and then everybody clapped, we know.

[turbid sapphire]

wut?

actually no. Im not. going back to game have fun.

Im going to say one thing. because this is the second time this has happened, and you said "we" last time. I knew immediately the person who removed the post was you riven. its not "we". thats all.

[cold pumice]

I dont think alot of people understand the anglo-australian sense of humour 🙁 makes me sad

[inner tendon]

hey it makes me laugh, ill take it

[nimble spruce]

It's still a stronghold in length, and master is treated like legendary in many ways by the game

[candid verge]

in length yes and it takes place in a stronghold, but I meant it's not an actual stronghold mission, that's why the SXP is lower 🤔

[turbid sapphire]

there is no difference from manhunt heroic, manhunt sh or manhunts mm

a mm adds 100 J exp, and I still have dbl which means 50
QoL issue

[cold pumice]

Season xp. Not journey.

[turbid sapphire]

right, what dorky said.

[cold pumice]

And apart from double the shd xp you get, you mean?

And 864-720 = 144...not 100

[turbid sapphire]

this was only for the season as the discussion is why isnt the output higher. there are many differences, such as location, time, reward, enemy type etc. I refrenced only Journey seasonal reward

[turbid sapphire]

right. so.. instead of 50 I guess 72? Im sure its relevant. I dont pay attention and I personally wont notice it after the event

[civic junco]

In terms of alternate characters, I just deleted my HC toon so I can make a fresh 40. Should I just transfer my gearset to him with 0 invo or transfer my stash to him and then clear my first character?

[turbid sapphire]

due to removal of mule effect, extra character are mostly used for HC or repeated weekly/daily reward. its unlikely using this new one over your main will signacantly profit, as you will have to reexpertise signature weapons, unlock various content ect

there is an option in your "loadout" to send a loadout to stash. once on your next weekly/daily character, as long as you have the same loadout, piece for piece, you can select "retrieve from stash" and then return it before you logout

[turbid sapphire]

so. my discord glitched and I ended up reading this for the first time. My first instinct was to be the parent, but then I realised it would pointless, since youv mentioned playing 15 years ago. So I will leave it at this. Stirring the pot and calling people out, as a moderator is refered to as being the problem. Kudos, your not an adult.

I dont have a reputation to protect, because approval of others isnt a goal. But you are a moderator, this is inappropriate and unprofessional, considering your representing ubi. I am calling you out, because this was extremely out of line.

[cold pumice]

Huh, can I go get some of my laundry so you can air that out in public too?

Not the place.

[turbid sapphire]

this is about 2 scrolls up. in this convo.

[nocturne siren]

🪑 🍿

[turbid sapphire]

Sometimes questioning a moderator choices, should be kept less public. In this case, they actively engaged in calling another user, a liar. This kind of action from a person with privileges to remove or punish others, results in fear. People don't speak out, they don't have a voice. This is fine on servers that are private. This is the official server of Ubisoft for division 2. not the place for stuff like this to be quiet.

[pseudo tundra]

it's better to bring issue to moderation by DM'ing @bronze monolith that way other moderators can see and be aware

[turbid sapphire]

I will do that and drop it here. I wanted to make sure that the regular users got a chance to see. It's easy for stuff to just, poof. Sometimes.

[rugged stratus]

there is always a log available here on the backend

[turbid sapphire]

wild

[nocturne siren]

if your server DMs are off that is why youre receiving that

[turbid sapphire]

thank you. That's an odd effect, but appreciated.

[nocturne siren]

good luck

[tribal hemlock]

The audio issue is not AI. What's happening is that the video framerate and audio framerate are not lining up. So the audio sounds like it's in slow motion. It's the same reason that a low video framerate will look slow motion visually.

[turbid sapphire]

Yeh. Btw, minitank, I tried to tell you something earlier and received that message. Sorry for jumping the gun. That effect isn't communicated well in discord, and I was a jerk.

[tribal hemlock]

Is ok 💖

[winter mason]

Is the community aware of the this "dying in DZ a few times in a row will eat your xp backwards. ". " I only played PvE for the first few days and had no problems, but since I went to the Dark Zone today, I've been having the same issues. I can't collect my rewards anymore, even though I was 2-3 levels ahead, and then at some point, I was reset from level 235 back to level 232."

[inner tendon]

It's been brought up fairly consistently since the bug was found, yeah.
The devs don't read these channels, if you want to help draw more attention to it, you can put in a support ticket. Video evidence will help them solve the bug faster.

[winter mason]

Was reading this on Reddit

[rare storm]

Do all the Journey Mission unlock at once or week after week ?

[inner tendon]

You complete the first one, that unlocks the rest.
There's only <2 weeks left of this Season left, if you want the rewards, I'd start working on them ASAP.

[thorny bramble]

Hey guys I m playing The Division 2 and I've reached Stage 4 I need to defeat the Wild Fire character and enter Roosevelt Park to defeat him, but he never appears I've played in the park four times straight and he still doesn't appear. Please help!

[inner tendon]

@thorny bramble She's an earlier boss in the base version of the Stronghold.
Go to your mission start, and "toggle mission mode". Wait until it says "outcasts" as the enemy type, and the text is not in yellow.
She's in the area with all the corpses +shipping containers.

[dawn wave]

ok so using a weapon I want to proficient past a certain point is not useful to me and its better to use different weapons when proficience farming?

[cold pumice]

It's best to just farm loads of gear, extract the maxed attributes to library and talents you need then donate the rest as junk

[dawn wave]

just random guns then not the actual guns im trying to level?

as I think its the egeneral expertise level im having issues with

[cold pumice]

Every gun/gear piece you donate as junk to expertise works to level up your rank

[thorny bramble]

Thank you very much, I will try now.

[dawn wave]

I thought at first it was down to simply using that gun fully

[cold pumice]

You can use it, but you don't have to like I said just donate extra versions of the same gun and it'll l,evel up

The 19/100 on the left side is how many "proficiency ranks" you need to gain to reach the next expertise rank.

[inner tendon]

Although do NOT donate exotics.

[cold pumice]

^ Break down exotics for exo components, just donate printer filament to level those up

[inner tendon]

If your build has a junk weapon slot, you can also just throw on anything in there, and you'll passively rank it up.

[dawn wave]

where do I dontate the printer filament in this menu?

[clever fjord]

Poor man's advice here: donate the protective fiber and weapon components whenever they're capped down to like 5k or something since they're pretty easy to get in huge amounts

[dawn wave]

where do I donate it though is it through the projects or a tab im not seeing in the proficiency tab?

[dawn wave]

Oh that went away a while ago on my main guns am I at the max?

[candid verge]

if it says proficient, then yes, max Rank
then comes the upgrade 🙂

[cold pumice]

Yes, once you are "proficient" with a piece of equipment, you can then upgrade as you have done with your Shroud, which is rank 2

There is a very informative guide, written by MrChow in the buildhub. It'll take you through the whole process from start to finish

It's MrChow, that's his name, that name again is MrChow.

[clever fjord]

Ciao 👋

[dawn wave]

but ive reach the top of my upgrades right? it says that at 3rd tier its at its most powerful but im geussing like a crafting level i ned to rank up expertise level again by leveling up other guns?

[cold pumice]

Correct, you can only upgrade to the same level as your expertise level. The max is 30

[bold tiger]

guns, skills, specializations, brand sets and gear sets

[dawn wave]

So I’m guessing best mod is full scrap + filament farm?

[cold pumice]

Running coundown with or without targetted loot, donating it all for expertise is the fastest way to farm it

You'll also get plenty of exotics from the countdown vendor so you can get exo components. You're going to need ALOT of them

[desert thunder]

Anyone got any information on what the NPC's builds are like? Are they running striker or what type of build are they running?

[cold pumice]

Expertise farm is a long slog, just let it ride as it rides. I've never actively farmed for expertise, i'm at 900 hours in game and i'm almost level 17

[bold tiger]

so i got 5 of the tom outfit. helmet, chest, legs, boots and scarf. what's the other 3?

make that 6, the vest as well. so what's the last 2?

[rugged stratus]

Patches probably

[bold tiger]

just got gloves. going to assume last is the backpack?

[strange harbor]

Glasses

[bold tiger]

thanks

[novel shard]

Some run DPS build others both DPS and skill in the same

[copper zodiac]

Am I able to get Overdogs & Tinkerer via targeted Loot?

[ornate zephyr]

i dont think so, but i know you can get overdawgs from stretch goals cache

[real cypress]

tinkerer you can do the potomac event center on master, try matchmaking or calling for back up. master difficulty is basically just heroic so if u got a solid build going you'd be fine

guaranteed drop btw

[copper zodiac]

K thx.
St. (Elmo) Striker has never failed anyone as of recent.
Won't happen today.

[wind jackal]

Why isnt the Tipping Scales backpack in my appearance mods?

[novel shard]

Should be

[rugged stratus]

i dont have it either

[wind jackal]

Come to think of it, none of tipping scales is showing. Its just not there and ik i have the gear set (my tank build has them)

[novel shard]

Well some gear sets are just rebrand appearance just different colors or markings

[inner tendon]

Regardless, they'll still be in the list.

yep, missing it too. Clearly a bug.

[copper zodiac]

OK uhm. whats the deal with Rifles on Tipping Scales?

[gleaming wigeon]

With the veteran program returning I just wondered what the eligibility is? 🤔

[bold tiger]

was you around for the lexington?

[gleaming wigeon]

Sadly not, Since Gamepass

[bold tiger]

believe it was based on account creation maybe? or at the very least play time i think?
they gave us various skins from bronze to gold or something

[gleaming wigeon]

But the new reward looks to be a new Auto shotgun, Stack broker or something

[bold tiger]

if they do what they did with lexington then yes that might be what they give out when you log in

[somber pumice]

Any idea what stack broker does?

[bold tiger]

least that's what happened with lexington. we were told to log in and obtain it. the bronze, silver and gold skins were granted along with it probably based on time played or the age of your agent

[gleaming wigeon]

Nope, I think it has been added to Shotgun expertise page though

[bold tiger]

based on the name it might be a "consume stacks per shot" or could be it has a stacking mechanic and then it does something amazing or pathetic

[somber pumice]

From what I’ve heard here and there it’s just a faster shooting ACS12

[gleaming wigeon]

I'm sold already 👌

[somber pumice]

Feels like they know we use it to stack strikers so the name is a jab at us 💀

[bold tiger]

i'd becareful of that info, depending how that's obtained. there's a rule on this server for that kind of info

[somber pumice]

Just like random YouTube/reddit comments, not sure how that fares against rule 6

No idea if it’s true or not, all hearsay really

[bold tiger]

yeah, same with how if it'll be given out too. just saw roguegold video speculating on it plus some resurgence and survivor info

[gleaming wigeon]

So that's 3 new shotguns?

[bold tiger]

hell, it might tie into those gear/brandsets that gains stacks and lets you increase it even more 🤔

[gleaming wigeon]

Think we watched the same video 😂

[somber pumice]

Inb4 its just Lex 2.0, ACS12 with raw X stat, god rolled and free talent reroll

[bold tiger]

don't rule out could be a brand new "only on this shotgun talent" quotations because quickstep 😹
hell, might be just ACS-12 Quickstp Variant 😹

[somber pumice]

Sportsmode ACS12 ain’t no way

The fact you can extract sportsmode but can’t apply it anywhere else gave me a good chuckle

[clever fjord]

If only the movement speed was on a primary...

[turbid sapphire]

the mario kart pistol was likely deliberate. its essentially a melee movement speed in a game with no melee pull out

a mount, skate, bike etc have been begged for ages for division. I think it was incorperated well, tho Id have liked it on a sawoff shotgun, as it fits melee rule better and could have offered a skill curve hh build with 2 clip

[nocturne siren]

According to comments on RogueGold's video about it, it'll have a base RPM of 360. The normal one is I think 300. I don't know what else it will do but I'm going to assume we can roll whatever talent we want. Personally I don't think it will replace lefty as our secondary on striker. Sledgehammer has use cases in all content especially when you need more DPS

[oak gazelle]

It can replace the ACS with Fast Hands, that's all. A lot of ppl still think Rock'N'Roll is better, but a faster shooting ACS with Fast Hands is going to be BIS for stacking.
I wouldn't argument against the Lefty, but I won't use the Lefty for normal Heroic content either. It's more a raid/incursion thing.

[somber pumice]

I’ll take anything that makes my ACS12 better, I love using that thing but even rock and roll is kinda eh

Tho 300 to 360 sounds like omega copium (I’ll still do it)

[oak gazelle]

20% rof increase doesn't sound like nothing 😄

[nocturne siren]

Yeah tbh I don't use ACS with fast hands. Also to be honest too I don't hardly ever use my ACS lol. I just shoot anything that walks and I'm usually stacked anyways

[somber pumice]

Surely if I stack with Salvo and strikers it’ll be good

If it’s like Lex and the 360 RPM is base + you can slot sledge on it that’d be nice tho

[nocturne siren]

When salvo hits, I plan on running Ceska + salvo with the AK weapons. I don't ever take them because they fire a bit too slow for the pace of combat in this game

I hold onto a plethora of them because I genuinely like the Bloc weapons in div 2. They're just not viable for the gear we have rn outside of Umbra or Modifiers

[somber pumice]

I doubt it’s gonna change any metas but it’ll be fun to run, we have too much damage as is anyways (and I’m sure losing a Groupa piece over Salvo is hardly a loss)

[nocturne siren]

I'm hoping you're talking about pairing Ceska + Grupo together. Not Grupo + Salvo. You'll be very crit starved doing without a ceska piece

[oak gazelle]

It's not really needed in most scenarios, it's just if you use something like 200 stack Striker and have another weapon you want to shoot with that has a slow firing rate e.g. M1928 or Thompson.

[somber pumice]

My casual for fun set is like 2p provi 1 ceska 1 groupa (I never rolled a good 3rd provi so groupa did the job)

[nocturne siren]

Yeah I only run 200 stack striker in Leggo or Mastery during long engagements or during raids

[somber pumice]

So the groupa/3rd provi is getting sacked

[nocturne siren]

Ahhhh okay then yes that's good 💯 for say a standard striker build, you'd want your 4 pieces then ceska chest then salvo will need to be rolled CHC so you have no CHC loss but instead trade 12% CHD for the 8% ROF attribute

People keep saying 2 pieces unit alloy will be better than Ceska + coyote striker but thinking crits wise, you'll be starved asf. Ceska and Salvo would be the only viable thing to take with the new gear, in my opinion. If I had access to the PTS I would showcase evidence to back up my claim

[tribal hemlock]

didn't ikia do a whole thing about this? i forgot the conclusions tho. been meaning to rewatch. skip to 57:00
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQwdS_qzc2g

[somber pumice]

I’ll try to cope a full 3 piece alloy at some point, I wanna be able to use any AR and have the nice feeling of it having Elmo’s mag size. Gonna be a wild ride making it work tho

[tribal hemlock]

iirc it's better but glass still wins

[somber pumice]

I think crit rates should be fine unless you’re playing like a 0 crit mod AR flat

[tribal hemlock]

but it edges so close to glass that glass might not be worth it unless your hsd rate is really high

also that was pts so things might change

[nocturne siren]

Yeah I never checked into it. I stopped watching YTers for builds mainly due to the fact it's all... Terrible builds? iKia is our build godfather and I know he's good. I just can't be assed to skim thru a 2 hour live test setup

[tribal hemlock]

ikia isn't a yter. he's division 2 wise grandpa.

[nocturne siren]

When I need new ideas will I then watch some videos and take all of it with a grain of salt

[nocturne siren]

Nah I know 🙏 it's why I said he's our build godfather. He's different

[somber pumice]

I don’t think I’ll ever get over my friend copying a build from some dude with a skull mask in a yellow hoodie and then go “damn this shit is ass”

Haven’t trusted tuber builds since lmao

[nocturne siren]

kvnt

[tribal hemlock]

the age old tradition

i remember when i was learning i did that with some awful blue build. i remember saying out loud "what the hell is this?" and then researched better sources

[somber pumice]

If memory serves it was some weird like

[nocturne siren]

I will admit, KVD did put me onto the spotter build in pvp. Ceska bag, closer chest, fox's and contractors, Grupo and coyote. Wasn't a bad build. But isn't fenris + spotter better than closer?

[somber pumice]

NBB combo with the ballistic shield

[nocturne siren]

Because at the time that video was posted, Kingbreaker was actually good

[somber pumice]

How bad is losing like

Foxes prayers again

[nocturne siren]

8% DTTOC I think which is a pretty hefty attribute

[somber pumice]

Surely I can cope, next season I plan is something like

3 p alloy (with the new named chest), 1 ceska, overdogs/coyotes then throw on fenris cause why not

Can’t think of a helpful 1p bonus off rip

[tribal hemlock]

3p feels like a waste tbh. 2p is probably gonna be enough.

giving up a lot for 50% mag size

[somber pumice]

Oh it’s 100% a waste I’m just being a fiend for the 50% mag capacity

I wanna enjoy the 100 mag Elmo memes every now and then

[tribal hemlock]

i feel that. it's one of the reasons i use elmo when i do.

mag size can be clutch in the right situations

[somber pumice]

Like I love ARs but anything with less than 45 bullets feels yucky to me

Elmo absolutely spoiled me I had to get reaccustomed to 45-50 again

[tribal hemlock]

it's like eating only 3 M&M's

might as well not even have

[somber pumice]

Chameleon might also see the light of day again

1 mag to proc the body shot bonus, hallelujah

[rugged stratus]

Elmo is kinda meh compared to bluescreen, imho

[tribal hemlock]

(┛ಠ_ಠ)┛彡┻━┻

[real cypress]

should i do lincoln on challenging or heroic for max gear mod rolls

[cold pumice]

Max gear rolls arent going to drop reliably anywhere.

Best option is Legendary farming as this raises the lowest roll to 80%.

The min roll of Heroic is 60%

Dont talk yourself into farming for max mods. 900 hours, I have about 4 lol

[daring wren]

I used to run Challenging countdown for them when looking for the Pulse resist mod. It wasn’t too bad really. Got one random max roll every couple rounds

I’ve gotten two in one game a few times too

[real cypress]

so i probably should forget about it until they introduce mod optimization in year (god if i know)

m7 7k printer filaments are collecting dust

[nocturne siren]

its not entirely Division related, but does anyone know why a plethora of Ubisoft games all have exactly the same update size?

[inner tendon]

Likely an update for the ubi-connect launcher.

[nocturne siren]

ill give that a look here in a few moments 👌 found it kinda strange

[inner tendon]

Other launchers running via steam has never been a clean practice.

[nocturne siren]

sounds about right. considering the PTS for division on steam is still outdated and doesnt work (wish it did bc I so wouldve played the PTS)

makes sense why theyre all the same size now that you put it that way

[tribal hemlock]

https://steamdb.info/depot/1716751/history/?changeid=M:541501317457995645

UbisoftConnectInstaller.exe

[inner tendon]

Yeah I just googled "247mb steam update ubisoft" and a result saying the same thing came up, from 2 years ago.

[tribal hemlock]

You can view the update history of a steam app here:
https://steamdb.info/app/460930/history/

[inner tendon]

If history repeats: prepare for bricking.

[nocturne siren]

thank you 🙏 so basically ID's changed for whatever whatever and now they're making me download half a million files for an update

im not smart enough to know what the info means on their applet so im just gonna keep it dumbed down for simplicity reasons

[thorny bramble]

Hi I was waiting and the word outcasts didn't appear I changed the enemy's perspective but it didn t show

[inner tendon]

Roosevelt Island has up to 4 (?) versions.
You may need to travel to the mission itself and keep toggling until the enmy type listed is outcasts, is their symbol.

[thorny bramble]

I only see 3 enmy type🥲

[inner tendon]

Okay gimme a sec, I'll take a screenshot.

[inner tendon]

@thorny bramble That's the Invaded version, not the base version.

you can tell because it has the Black Tusk logo.

[inner tendon]

That's a manhunt, remember how I said no yellow text in the name.

[thorny bramble]

Only these thre

[inner tendon]

here: this one:

[thorny bramble]

I know, but she doesn't show up 💔

[inner tendon]

That's the only one that'll work, that's the original version of the mission.

[thorny bramble]

I have won this four times in a row

[inner tendon]

That's the Invaded version, it's not going to work to fight Wildfire.

Wildfire only ever spawns at the one I posted.

[nocturne siren]

if im not mistaken, isnt there a bug with toggling roosevelt back to normal?

[thorny bramble]

Yes, that's what I'm looking for

[inner tendon]

Never had that one. Lemme see.

nope, just did it 3 times

[nocturne siren]

its gonna sound ultra stupid, but what if you speedrun the invaded one on a low difficulty and then see if youre able to change it back to normal?

[inner tendon]

Actually the bug might be because it's not Invaded this week.

that's Capitol Hill.

[nocturne siren]

if I knew more id be happy to help. this one has me stumped

the worst you could do is full restart the game and try again? or swap characters just to verify its only a character issue?

[inner tendon]

Yep, it's an unintentional Invaded.
Like when I did capitol+zoo in the same week, last Stretch Goals.

[nocturne siren]

so technically we have 2 invaded strongholds this week? 🤯

[inner tendon]

Well I don't have that one.

I never really clicked before that Roosevelt has 2 Manhunts, but DUA/capitol have 0.

[nocturne siren]

probably next season we will get a dua/capital manhunt

[inner tendon]

Surprise: White Oak again. still the same map.

[nocturne siren]

that would be brutal 💀

[inner tendon]

you are never seeing inside that tunnel

@thorny bramble If you can't change it from there for some reason, try doing it from your map.
and yeah, make sure you restart your console like fifty' suggested.

[left plinth]

This game do have crossplay right?

[slim elk]

nope

[thorny bramble]

What is this😂

[inner tendon]

In the Camp White Oak mission, there's an escape tunnel that gets closed in the base version of the mission, a lot of the other Manhunt missions have alternate layouts, but not White Oak'.

It's a running joke that the tunnel is just painted on.

[thorny bramble]

I haven't played it yet🥹

[inner tendon]

You should keep going with the story, there's a lot of it left.

It's pretty good, lots of twists and intrigue.

[thorny bramble]

I play all day, don't worry🤣

[thorny bramble]

I will listen to your advice

[novel shard]

I actually saw what inside the tunnel it's pretty much a black tusk gate

[nocturne siren]

@hollow brook peekaboo 👀

[hollow brook]

🤣

[drowsy needle]

Next season camp white oak pt 50

[nocturne siren]

😂 had to say hi

[hollow brook]

I did it first

[novel shard]

I don't think so since this is true sons season focus

[nocturne siren]

😂

[drowsy needle]

Well the pact kinda brought the enemy together. So confusing now. Mutiny? Does that mean everything got reverted?

[novel shard]

Yes and no

[nocturne siren]

does anyone here have a full damage calculator? im not talking about burst and sustained DPS. I need to know how to calculate Amp and weapon damage and all that. #td2-pvp-discussions in this channel, it was mentioned Sys corr actually is a 50% amplification and not a weapon damage increase. Im looking to test this with OD since the OD chest also does 50% amplification to bleeding targets

I know Sys and OD are entirely different but if I can manage to get both builds to work with identical damage, I can prove this theory

[drowsy needle]

How would you do that?

[nocturne siren]

if what somebody said is true, sys backpack would double the damage. bringing it to 50% amp. the OD chest also applies 50% amp. Im going to test this with 0 damage talents on both builds but still proccing the 50% amp on both builds. if both builds hit for the same exact number, that means the theory is true and sys's talent is dead wrong

[lyric pier]

Hello! Just wondering which skills should i take as a beginner? I currently have a drone and a reviver hive and i have a new skill point to unlock a skill. Also is it safe to just get whatever perk i want?

[nocturne siren]

id go with the shield for a beginner

[novel shard]

Depending on build

And how new are you are you lvl new or shd lvl new

[lyric pier]

I think lvl new? Im only lvl 11

[nocturne siren]

go with the shield

[lyric pier]

Got it, thank you!

[clever fjord]

Isn't it capped at 20% or are we simply not trusting the description at all for obvious reasons

[nocturne siren]

im not trusting the description at all anymore

I spent hundreds of hours farming for this set when I was still fairly new. and if the description is dead wrong, I wanna know the WHY and HOW it works

considering I dumped stupid amounts of resources into my build for it

[clever fjord]

btw i was too stupid to realise this but any bonus armor source procs the amp

this genuinely makes me think if a teammate were to give you vanguard AND perfect leadership just how much damage can you deal

[nocturne siren]

yeah that one I knew due to memento and people abusing smart cover

[drowsy needle]

Amp weapon damage in itself is put into its own pool of multipliers it’s a separate thing. So it’s your talent 50% amp damage to HPR + 50 amp damage from bonus armor applied + your AWD. Seeing as your putting two separate AMP damages it would be 50 + 50 (multi) + AWD + AMP = Answer.

[nocturne siren]

ive got the full damage formula rn. i plan on calculating it. hutchler the goat

[clever fjord]

it actually caps out at 20% using bag and without bag is the same

[valid bronze]

Backpack just gives you more armor, the dmg cap is the same

[nocturne siren]

yeah I just had google AI tell me that as I was trying to find info

basically all the backpack does is make you twice as hard to kill 💀

they really need to buff the set with the backpack to 50%. this is disappointing

[valid bronze]

Agreed

[somber pumice]

anyone got a short explanation of how ravenous works, got it to pop from the stretch goals and i have no idea what im seeing on this thing

[nocturne siren]

yeah I can make a clip for you, I got you

[somber pumice]

tanks boss

[nocturne siren]

all you need to worry about is right shoulder shooting. super easy

[somber pumice]

yeah from the description it doesnt seem like i'd ever really wanna shoot for defensive primers

[nocturne siren]

ill showcase a clip in just a moment. its a good weapon only on the right setups. its a bit niche tho

[somber pumice]

ill take it even if its niche, gotta get my group ready for IH and this bad boy was listed there for usage for the tanks

[nocturne siren]

wait till full, swap shoulders. done, enemy dead. super easy

[somber pumice]

damn that's a small ass boom

[nocturne siren]

those are 1 shot methods. but it has its uses against tanks

ravenous is hands down the best burst DPS weapon in division 2 due to its talent

[somber pumice]

oh no i mean for the tanks, something about staggering the bosses with the explosion (i didnt read that indepth i just saw it as the go-to option for the folks who are responsible for the blue cores)

[nocturne siren]

yeah its used for key stagger with morozova as well as 1 shot grey

[somber pumice]

so shoot for all offensive, once it's at 10 (5 shots i think?) swap to defense and pop the explosion

[nocturne siren]

if you want a pve build for it use this

you dont have to go 3 piece zwi, you can take 2 piece and 1 ceska. I took 3 for the handling

[somber pumice]

GC/vigi work as substitutes for those talents or

[nocturne siren]

ravvy is a bit bouncy

[nocturne siren]

yeah GC/Vigi work good 💯 i took what I took just due to personal preference

[somber pumice]

i dont mind obli i just hate unstoppable force, i avoid anything that requires gimmicky stacking like the plague lmao

[nocturne siren]

i take unstoppable because god forbid I get shot once and there goes 25% damage. no thanks lol. I use that in pvp

(ravenous explosions damage is due to the crits as well, it scales off that)

[somber pumice]

i dont mind it too much (granted i also have ape like statics who runs in and takes all the aggro for me lmao)

[nocturne siren]

ravvy is one of those guns where its good in certain areas. the rest, other stuff is more efficient. i made this build simply because I wanted a use for ravenous, since this one I actually got out of the dark zone via a red NPC drop

my other was on my first run of IH

im pretty sure i have the images of when it dropped. lemme try to find them

[somber pumice]

Shame the super exclusive exotics all seem eh aside from Regulus, got big horn recently and it’s fine, nice gimmick gun but it’s nothing better than a standard M4 can pull. Regulus I know is the god send of exotics but we’re still prepping for IH

[nocturne siren]

nearly shit myself when I saw this

[somber pumice]

GADDAM, 2 YEARS

[nocturne siren]

yup lol. Ive been casually farming dz for a raid drop for 2 years. 36h later I got bighorn in the same DZ

i was in a cheater server that day that ravvy dropped. i camped inside safe house for idek how long and it took me nearly 4 extractions just to get it out of there. my adrenaline was thru the roof

[somber pumice]

Jesus Christ 💀 . Them fellas must have been searching high and low for you

[nocturne siren]

they were, bigtime. I was scared id get Aimbotted thru the wall so i stayed inside the safehouse

I used this little spot right here to call immediate extraction and then I high tailed it back to safehouse to stay safe while I wait for chopper to arrive. I waited for the last 15 seconds on the timer to run out and hook the loot. that was hands down the scariest div 2 moment ive ever had in this game. and the most blood pumping moment too

[novel shard]

I hate that

[valid bronze]

I've pulled all 3 from dz

[nocturne siren]

EB one day 🙏

[valid bronze]

EB was my first one

I was live streaming too

[outer basin]

I've been calling for backup on a normal mission in the division 2 for the past 20 minutes is this normal? Or is my game bugged?

[slim elk]

normal difficulty?

[bold tiger]

I'd say it's normal. Not many want to run normal difficulty missions/world things. They'd prefer challenging or heroic

[dawn wave]

ive seen people running 2 exotic guns in their load out but my game doesnt allow that. What allows you to do that?

[slim elk]

uhm, what?

can you share a ss by any chance?

[dawn wave]

someone posted on a while back forget which channel

[cold pumice]

Game will not allow you to do that, so you m ust be mistaken.

-.- Getting boring now...

@nocturne siren ^ 😏

[nocturne siren]

legit how this event feels

[cold pumice]

This is why game companies shouldn't listen to loud minorities...

[nocturne siren]

I wouldve rather they bumped up the exotic rate so I can at least get exotic components

and I dare say even the raid exotic chances. just a TOUCH. make it a .75% chance unlike the .5% its at

[raven mountain]

does this apply to all hives?

[bold tiger]

i'm going to say no and only to the revive hive considering the damage resistence and reviving an agent manually or with the hive

[raven mountain]

"hive efficiency" is vague, it is not specified for what kind of hive this buff is received

[cold pumice]

Doesnt matter. Its only useful for revive hives

[nocturne siren]

Birdies is one of those niche exotics that is good for emergency team pickups or for pvp

[cold pumice]

Even if the hive efficiency was for all hives
...it wouldn't matter.

Its only useful for Revive hives

[inner tendon]

Some more clarity of skill descriptions would be nice for div2.
A game so mathy needs it.

[raven mountain]

It matters, for example, that skill efficiency applies to all skills, while hive efficiency is only for hives.

and 45% is big number

[cold pumice]

It really doesn't. Because there are other, better ways to buff other hives.

Its based around revives. There is LITERALLY no reason to use it outside of revives

[turbid sapphire]

Backup doesnt respect diffculty. @slim elk

[slim elk]

???

[turbid sapphire]

Youll get story, or youll get lego. MMing respects it outside of Mastermode

[slim elk]

you could've replied to my message instead of @ me

[inner tendon]

If you're going to tag someone after a conversation has been over for some time, make sure you give context.
most people are quite busy, and don't remember what a post was about.

[next inlet]

What’s the best way to get season xp?

[inner tendon]

@next inlet Priority Objectives: Strongholds.
the reward doesn't matter, just the difficulty.

(matchmake for challenging/heroic)

[next inlet]

So, heroic priority objectives? And hopefully they’re strongholds?

[inner tendon]

Just strongholds.

re-roll if you need to

[next inlet]

Oh so it doesn’t matter if they’re like xp stronghold priority objectives? Just strongholds?

[inner tendon]

Yep, reward doesn't matter.
The XP listed there as a reward (like exotic, resource, xp) is for your SHD watch.
the Season XP is just for doing the Priority at all.

[next inlet]

Ooo okay thanksss

[inner tendon]

oh and one major thing: have your modifiers turned on. That's a 10% bonus.

[cold pumice]

Xp rewward only matters for ShD events

[inner tendon]

I think they've got it.

[real cypress]

soo the new named AA-12, yall reckon itd be easily BIS for building striker stacks?

[steep void]

it has 20 mag while rock and roll has 30 mag so rock and roll still makes more sense for stacking

[inner tendon]

@steep void If you hit your shots, 20 is fine for an ACS.
each shot is effectively 8 in one, if you hit all 20, that's 160 stacks.
160 is more than workable to maintain it with your damage dealer weapon.

Or do what a lot of people these days do, and just go for a rapid-fire SMG, like the smg-9, for both jobs in one.

[real cypress]

ive seen smgs with unwavering popping up alot lately, is it because unwavering just gives you near instant reload speed and the ability to beam ads?

[inner tendon]

Honestly no idea, I don't like Striker builds, but there's a full guide on them in the spreadsheet, which has all the info you could possibly want.

[mellow trout]

i go for measured myself

unwavering improves handling but not optimal range which is the big one with smgs

[tribal hemlock]

Yes. It's good for wiping spawns.

It'll also blind fire very well (b/c of handling) so it can save you if you get in big trouble while in cover.

[left plinth]

Best attributes for St Elmo?

[slim elk]

dtoc

[left plinth]

2nd best?

In case my rng freaking sucks 😅

[tribal hemlock]

you can reconfigure it

[slim elk]

AR DMG and Health DMG are fixed to Elmo's; DTOC is king

[left plinth]

Alrighty

The grind continues

[slim elk]

go to Inaya (the blueprint lady) and buy Elmo's reconfig blueprint and reroll it until you get DTOC. It costs mats + 1 exo comp per

[left plinth]

Yeah im rerolling it as we speak

[real cypress]

id say DTA is the 2nd best... if u manage to get it before dttooc but dttooc is always the best

i wasted all of my exotic components rerolling my ravenous for dttooc

[somber pumice]

Does anyone have that healing build that uses foam and seeker mines. Saw that and i forgot about it but im fairly interested in learning it

[real cypress]

bro what... how are you gonna heal people with damaging skills unless ur using refractor

refractor is also not a primary healer btw

[somber pumice]

I cannot remember to save my life right now it was some really weird combo

But i know it wasn’t refractors or FI for that matter

Had something like “if you even have to ask what these pieces are for don’t even use it” at the top of the build as a foreword lmao

Though it might not be healing it might just be pure CC if it’s foam and seekers

[rugged stratus]

likely it was hardwire with a heal hive/cluster and btsu for overcharge... if it might be pure cc then its eclipse, no healing obv

[somber pumice]

Oh i found it

That looks funny as hell I’m kinda interested

[rugged stratus]

its alright, losing damage talents to support oc. its pre nerfing the build to get some overcharge. i would split this up into 2-3 builds tbh

hardwire healer hive seeker spam

[subtle thorn]

What is this date on the game Library, this cant be the purchase date since my transaction history shows 2019.

[inner tendon]

@subtle thorn That's about the release date of WONY.

[feral bronze]

whats up with random back up for call matchmaking 6hrs 5mins not nobody needs help lol

at this rate no chance off getting the advent completed

[nocturne siren]

Now swap the seeker to instead EMP pulse and you got yourself a certified drone jammer build for raids or drone rooms in missions/summit

[real cypress]

yooo this seems like fun

[spare girder]

Anyone got the Stack Broker

[uncut zenith]

no

i am just wonder

[turbid sapphire]

rough. server reset bugs
restarting steam game fixed this for others with it

[turbid sapphire]

people will often press it on accident. weird menu flips realign the menu buttons at the bottom for mouse and keyboard. Iv done it, and then logged to immediatly cancel

[real cypress]

do u guys prefer the explosive seeker mine or cluster seeker mine

[tribal hemlock]

pretty much everyone uses cluster seekers

[real cypress]

cluster is def better for ad clear but what about when fighting against 1 boss?

like does it spawn all of the small cluster mines to target one boss?

[tribal hemlock]

only one seeker per enemy

seekers are pretty useless against bosses anyway

even at 1 player scaling a named heroic has like 20 million hp

almost 50 million hp at 4 player scaling

[wind jackal]

new bundles?

[novel shard]

Yup

Chameleon outfit

[gleaming wigeon]

How to claim the Stack broker? 🤔

[novel shard]

And supposedly the camo adapts to the outfit

[novel shard]

Just by logging in

[novel shard]

Make sure you have a empty space

[gleaming wigeon]

Didn't get one, Pretty sure I'm eligible for bronze

[novel shard]

Depending how long you have played

[gleaming wigeon]

Only 6 months but according to video I watched earlier puts me in the bronze category

[novel shard]

Yeah definitely does

[gleaming wigeon]

Should be in inventory? 🤔

[pseudo tundra]

Doesnt appear ot has started to drop yet

[feral bronze]

no i didnt get nothing yet was suppose to start hrs ago 9am uk time

probs broke as always

[small shadow]

Did anyone get their's yet?

[delicate tartan]

I did not get veteran rewards, where are they

[inner tendon]

@delicate tartan Read the comment directly above yours.

[small shadow]

You ain't the only one

[royal escarp]

not give this

[cold pumice]

Soon ™

[feral bronze]

must be busted already hrs late

[small shadow]

My buddy got it but seems like he's the only one

[drowsy needle]

Well it’s been 2 and a half hours matchmaking for shepherding and still going.

[feral bronze]

ur lucky ive been matchmaking for over 7 hrs now and only got 1 person like wtf

[drowsy needle]

You got one? Lucky mf!

[feral bronze]

they need to change it so that if u call for help u also get the xp rank

[drowsy needle]

They need to make bots in the game so that way we don’t have people waiting for 20 hours for a call. Last time this happened I got an answer and never received the Shepard exp. Cause the guy was level 20.

[feral bronze]

lol so true

think its busted also like last time friends on console got 2 matchmakes and never went up the xp but it showed on screen the endorsment 2 times

[drowsy needle]

As humans we grow and adapt. People at ubi are the equivalent of the paper mache. Once it’s built it doesn’t change. And if it changes it breaks.

[feral bronze]

lol love that comment

Is the Veteran Rewards NOT DROPPING a known issue to the Devs?

[opal remnant]

is someone facing a bug with countdown vendor it should be selling emberor guard with hazard but it selling me matador instead?

No I bought a emberor guard with hazard and he gave me a emberor guard with hazard. Sorry

I'm not even surprised

[bold tiger]

sad thing most of everyone "anyone get the shotgun yet?" most of the night 😹

[inner tendon]

By my current count, the delay is going to be set to about 2 hours.

[delicate tartan]

Release tomorrow, shotgun...i read

[sour mortar]

Dang I won’t be getting gold on my pc account, I don’t think 🤔

Only on my Xbox account

Cuz after I moved to pc when Wony dropped. But my Xbox since launch

Welp. Atleast I’ll be rocking silver and not bronze on pc

[copper zodiac]

S'there a reason to run Heroic Countdown for sheer loot volume?
Lets say I wanna grab some maxed out Gear mods, Would I have better chances running Challenging?

[nocturne siren]

Only reason to play heroic is for bragging rights. Challenging drops heroic quality loot. For max mods, farm summit legendary floor 90 (or 10/20/30, so on)

[pseudo tundra]

got a stupid question about retaliations, playing them on heroic does make named enemies appear on every CP like regular open world heroic?

[oak gazelle]

usually there are 3 waves with a named enemy each

[wispy merlin]

^ yep, 3 vs 2

[tribal hemlock]

Not true. The minimum rolls in heroic are definitely higher.

[tribal hemlock]

You'll have better chances in Heroic, but max gear mods are such a grind that you might go crazy doing that much countdown 🙂

[nocturne siren]

I personally never really noticed

[tribal hemlock]

You'll get very low rolls in challenging that you'll never see in Heroic. The minimum rolls are definitely better in Heroic, but the chances of a group wipe are higher too. So challenging gives you quantity and heroic gives you quality.

When grinding gear challenging is probably better because you can optimize and mats are easy to come by these days.

Heroic also gives you more countdown req (208 IIRC for good runs)

[pseudo tundra]

considering the roll on previous version of coutndown were set to heroic

it's not a big gap

[tribal hemlock]

The gap was very noticeable for me when I was starving for optimization mats.

[daring wren]

I was farming max mods on Countdown awhile ago. Not worth on heroic because you get way more loot/more shots at a max roll on challenging

IMO

[green frost]

I wonder if people who play the mobile version will ever get anything on other platforms since you can login with the same ubisoft acc.
Is there any mention of this ?

[nocturne siren]

I'll give it a few runs when I go to host it tomorrow for more double crit matadors and more Emp Guard kneepads with hazpro. Need em for bonk build and chatterbox

[dawn wave]

for the project where do i find this?

@dawn wave play bank headquarter will drop from final boss

[limpid sequoia]

any news about the stack broker?

[turbid sapphire]

its not so much a "decrease" as much as a requirment increase, to be exact

[pseudo tundra]

delayed to tomorrow, check #division-tweets

[limpid sequoia]

damn

[novel shard]

Right in challenging I always recommend people that and for mods really not countdown interesting

[bold tiger]

What do you mean?

[desert thunder]

How do I talk to this person to unlock descent lol

[slim elk]

wtf is dissent

[desert thunder]

dang voice to text

[slim elk]

descent, yes lol

that yes was the answer to your question btw

[inner tendon]

@desert thunder That's Wally, try walking around the corner and down the stairs and waiting, the audio can trigger then.
It's not always super clear with her.

[desert thunder]

I tryed that every time I go up to her it gives me the interact button and when I hit it she does nothing

[inner tendon]

After you do that, walk around to the stairs, and make sure your audio is on.

[desert thunder]

The door looks like that there's nothing on the wall so I don't know what's going on. I might have to put in a ticket

[slim elk]

she talks for a minute or two, dont walk away

[inner tendon]

Yeah her audio is a little "we need a skip button".

[serene sky]

everyday carrier = trash?

[real cypress]

i kinda like it tho since it really plays into the armor kit system

u could pop one with firewall to give yourself near invincible health and armor regen

or make a pseudo healer build with survivalist to give your teammates crazy good heals too

[serene sky]

hmm now I know. thanks!

[serene sky]

So are blueprints shared between all toons once you've bought the share mats option?

and are cosmetics shared?

[worldly fjord]

Cosmetics are shared. Blueprints and materials are optional, you can buy the "shared blueprint" from inaya

[serene sky]

ok, is there any reason why when I complete descent with my main toon I don't get recon cache but I do with another?

[novel shard]

50% percent chance of getting it from nemesis and higher Chance of getting some in high loops

[serene sky]

ohhhhhhhhhh

damn I thought it was guaranteed. Thanks!

[native wind]

shotties out yet?

[tardy fog]

anyone knows why the game looks like this i reinstalled because i had no space and now that i installed again the game looked like the colors are washed out. I play through steam

nvm i just had to turn hdr off

I'll probably just use TOTS with the grenade launcher

[muted lance]

the most boring event ever played matchmaking for over 20 minutes no player lol

[nimble spruce]

Be the change you want to see and start calling for backup yourself (and don't forget to endorse!)

[oak gazelle]

just get a friend and do it together with them
make sure you're not on each others friends list and not in the same clan, let the other person call for backup and start matchmaking, most of the times you'll end up right in their session

[nocturne siren]

What region are you in? Region population matters

Also, make sure you're not in any safe houses as I'm pretty sure it'll block you from getting backup calls. Venture into the open world

[mild zealot]

has the vet rewards drop on y'all?

[real cypress]

havent got mine yet

[mild zealot]

its way past its schedule now

[turbid sapphire]

depending on whether your screen has hdr ability, it will washout. this can be a pc setting or ingame

I personally have hdr supposedly on my pc, I supposedly have a hdr compatible cable as well as "screen" but meh. its a spectre screen, so you get what you pay for

[turbid sapphire]

I adjusted this for anyone who wanted a more "optimal" set up. this one is more for lego and making up for group members for whatever situation you find yourself in, whether with friends, low levels, CD, sheph, what have you
https://tinyurl.com/HF-O-LS-Mariokart-H1OV

I personally lack 3 6% mods, so a min max variant will have 57% chc

pistol is a standin for the mariokart pistol (if you dont know what this is, I suggest you recapture your childhood and equipt the "bis" pistol)

skill choice is not suggested

[nocturne siren]

Honestly if I were to go that route with HF and assault rifles, I'd ditch memento and run a Fenris bag with unstoppable force or bloodsucker. Plus I'd full ditch Lexington and take strega instead just for the "haha lol amp"

You'd gain back a bit more crit, you would then be able to take SMG/Shotgun/AR freely, and still do relatively okay damage to clear content solo or in low level groups

You'd be less crit starved as well since memento doesn't come with CHC/CHD attributes like a high end piece would. People sleep on bloodsucker alot. When at max stacks and you get a kill, it'll full refresh your bonus armor. I often pair it with intimidate, especially on hunters fury builds, since you have to play close range anyways. Might as well get 36% as opposed to just 20% from Obliterate

[turbid sapphire]

I agree you can get profit out of intimidate, in my case I find obliterate more profitable. it has a broader range for combat, as your mixing scorpio with lex, this is designed for more game modes, specially lego, and in my exp, close range combat in lego is rarely a good idea for the average player. some can pull it off, but this is ment for an all around, mid skill level set.

for those who wonder why lex on hf, hf offer +20% (gunner adds 10% to this) aok, as well as a neat amp for 15m (hf will amp to 50% and scorpio potentially adds another 20%) range which comes in handy randomly, similar to Overdogs. the disorientate is nice as well. I tend to ignore +15% to X weapon type, as I find most "optimal" weapons like lex, are more than enough on their own

[nocturne siren]

The x Weapon Damage isn't exactly needed but it definitely helps you taking Fenris > Memento since your up front crits will help you tremendously with your TTK. Makes you less dependent on getting memento stacks for your damage, and allows you to just focus on shooting. You're not wrong, taking obliterate does remove that distance limitation. However, since hunters fury is set within X distance, you'll want to play close range for most optimal performance. I'm sure you noticed shooting enemies at distance without that Hunter mark, your damage drops off the edge of a cliff

[turbid sapphire]

notable is this is built are "+10% chc at 50%" which means most exo options will play well, even strega. weapons like strega, 5% and bh 0% will need low stat invest, to add up

[nocturne siren]

Strega compared to a normal AR is a bit crit starved. It only has (1) 5% crit chance mod. You'd need that Fenris bag to play with Strega. I personally recommend you try it out. You may need to slap crit chance mods on it to bring your crit chance up

Memento isn't a bad option here. Killer keeps your CHD up fairly well as long as CHC is good (which yours is). With Strega, that's a bit different. But damn is the build so fun

[turbid sapphire]

I like strega, but I dont use it. It was viable imo, when the buff showed for others, making it theoretically group based. Since it doesnt I find even in full headshot, due to 40 ammo clip, strega struggles to final bullet in +4 groups, and this severely reduces its potential

[nocturne siren]

Taking it into Leggo is ballsy, and for that I commend you. I wouldn't dream of taking it to Leggo lol

[nocturne siren]

Yeah the more group members you have, the weaker it gets

Even on a 200 stack striker build at max stacks it struggles

[turbid sapphire]

I will say solo, due to hp values, strega is very fun, the reduction to 75% over 100%, is annoying, as well as 5% crit, which makes it either heavy stat invest or hs only, bad for dogs and tanks and Armor Plates

[nocturne siren]

100% it's a great gun for solo. If they buffed the mag size to 50, it would be worth it. Or give it more crit chance

[turbid sapphire]

more crit chance imo is the fix. mag counts are hit and miss, but making hs weapons that dont rely on hs bonus (bh) is just poor design imo, for exo

[nocturne siren]

I myself use a high end variant for strega because I just like the up front damage sometimes

Bighorn, if you can manage to build it for crit, is such a nasty weapon when you're hitting crit headshots

[turbid sapphire]

mhm, this builds solo variant hit 3m, I really heavily endorse hf over striker even in group

I doubt Ill return to striker unless a balance change alters the number output between the two. strikers rof shouldnt be ignored, but hfs aok, is a weird mix of striker/hb in a good rewarding way

[nocturne siren]

My stance on it is if you can't keep up with kills in groups with HF, just swap to striker to make sure you're not dead weight

[turbid sapphire]

body vs 5-20, 5 was only max hf. the dmg does, worth noting here, reduce noticable, but there are no memento stacks. at full stacks the dmg usually goes up about 150k per stack. so 150k without short term and 300k ST, this could be off, but Ill let others test it if they like as this is something I dont build into. exos buffs my builds they dont play into them (why I dont use range based coyote)

test was solo named range. personal exp may vary

[nimble zenith]

Does this journey mission 2 require specific global difficulty? Normal doesnt count

[pine magnet]

It's not about difficulty. You have to capture "all" the control point in three different zones.

[nimble zenith]

@pine magnet I captured 3 in Downtown east and its 0/3

Just did these 3

[pine magnet]

It worked for me when it came out.

I sad ALL

[nimble zenith]

Could it be that you need to deactivate modifiers?

[turbid sapphire]

is it map based? that area has more than 3 "all zone"

[nimble zenith]

Oooh, ALL inside a named zone and i need to capture 3 named zones that way?

[pine magnet]

You lost one

All in three zones

[nimble zenith]

Got it. Thanks @pine magnet @turbid sapphire 🫡

[pine magnet]

👍

[royal briar]

So, how long for the failsafe to trigger?

[turbid sapphire]

yyy, glad you got it

for context of why I never know numbers, I dont actually use flytext. to me this game is an action game. I tend to test new sets when they come out, but my preferred gameplay is consistent, so generally new sets dont get used. no, the complaint box on my gameplay is not open thx, I know I sux

building around percentages is fine as long as your in game understand of basic wd is effective. the game follows a pretty consistent flow, high rof is low bullet dmg, balance, high bullet is low rpm. exos have higher bd-rpm ratio ect. amp buffs, but usually its between 10% or like 50%, a big swing. game has a flow, numbers and math imo isnt that needed. unless speedrunning

[rugged stratus]

Tots is a waste on hollywood. With an explosive build youll generate so much spec ammo anyways that tots is a self nerf in comparison

[turbid sapphire]

mortar build is amazing lol

rav, regulus and merciless/variant work as well. there may be others but yeh. also ToS and minigun is gross
flamethrower too I dont use but seen

[broken venture]

Does guilds exists here

[inner tendon]

#td2-clan-recruitment enjoy!

[broken venture]

Ty

[oblique tree]

does sheparding rank work when choosing random main mission?

[pseudo tundra]

You have to answer call to backup not matchmaking

[oblique tree]

I do but noones calling

[rugged stratus]

You can matchmake to auto accept backup calls. It'll just yoink you out of whatever activity you are in without warning tho

[oblique tree]

I had it set to friends/clan so I switched to all. should work now

[nocturne siren]

Appreciate the feedback 🙏 I personally wouldnt know much about explo builds due to me never really touching skill builds outside of healing/crowd control

I just figured TOTS for ease of use 😂

[rugged stratus]

With hollywood, even minigun from gunner is popping those shields like a grenade launcher hit. And popping shields generates the spec ammo afaik. It's one of the easiest ge. My personal favorite ge because who doesnt like massive explosions 😍

[nocturne siren]

I agree 💯 I usually skip it but I definitely wanna play it this season

[drowsy needle]

Next week new season il play cod until then. Won’t need a haircut since my hair will be gone but….its worth it

[gleaming wigeon]

Any update on the Stack broker? 🤔

[delicate tartan]

I wonder no info

[desert thunder]

How come this outfit's not in the store on top of it. Be kind of nice to actually hide the backpack and the chest piece if you want. Just like how you can hide the the mask

[nocturne siren]

yeah im already bald with a growing beard 😂 22 years old and im already looking like im in my late 30s

which cod you been on? ive been playing MWIII with a loved one. waiting for div to go on sale so I can pick it up for her and introduce her to this wonderful universe we all play in

[weak finch]

Kind of a dumb question, is there a benefit to Bounties im not seeing? Or are they the same rewards as all of the other open world activities?

[tribal hemlock]

pretty much. it's just a guaranteed # of named enemies which'll drop tactical assessments.

whereas with other activities you don't always get named enemies. you'll get a couple for control points. bounties can have 3 and they're quick.

[limpid sequoia]

how do i go about getting a shepherd rank?

[candid verge]

answer to backup calls and get endorsements

[lyric pier]

What do you guys do with low level purple/yellow rarity items? Do you just deconstruct all like the green/blue ones?

[slim elk]

if it's lvl40 then:

1. Extract to Library
2. Donate to Expertise
3. Deconstruct/Sell
   You'll have to take a look at the builds in the pinned Spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice and select those items that are build viable. Or else you'll be left with nothing.

[lyric pier]

Ah no, theyre like below lvl 20

[slim elk]

Deconstruct

[lyric pier]

Got it, thank you!

[copper zodiac]

Do I need to buy the pass to access Stretch goals?

[slim elk]

no

[copper zodiac]

k. Any EXP bonuses worth noting? asking cuz I gotta speedrun the BP.

[pseudo tundra]

you just missed double BP xp last week

regular farm is do scouts if you have left, and priority objectives mostly

[copper zodiac]

Unfortunate, I'll see what I can do by then!

[rugged escarp]

descent no work today 💩

[winter mason]

8 claimes? what does it mean?

[candid verge]

you claimed 1 and 2, therefore you need 8 more to get to 10 and then can start again from 1

[drowsy needle]

I play mw3 as well. Game is fun. You wanna link up dm me

[nocturne siren]

I sure hope your SBMM isnt trashed like mine is

[dawn wave]

Quick question to the community I’m looking to get a cinematic or immersive mode. That’s pretty easy to toggle off and on for some shots. Is there an option like that in game or even if there’s a more like practical way to play in immersive mode that won’t hinder me in gameplay

OK, I’ve experimented a little bit and I only have I think one more question as I think I found a good happy medium for myself here

When I turn off loot beams, what does it replace it as like a box on the ground or something or?

[dawn wave]

Ok everything else seems to work

How do i get rid of top left and bottom left?

[drowsy needle]

Idk been years since I played.

[solid tartan]

i finished the last master difficulty mission and didnt received the exotics, it is right like this?

[bold tiger]

you do it on master or normal-heroic?

[solid tartan]

master

[bold tiger]

if you did master, first clear you should've gotten tempest and black listers

if you didn't get it, did you happen to do it earlier and got booted or something?
after you first master clear it goes on something like 14% chance i think?

[solid tartan]

it was my first try

[junior cave]

Check the stash. Probably you were full with inventory, when you finished the mission.

It should go into stash. I think...

[solid tartan]

not there

[bold tiger]

did you wait after you finished it? think i got mine it was a slight delay

[solid tartan]

yes

[bold tiger]

best case. create an alt, get to 40, run the climax on normal then hit it with master again

[dawn wave]

Why not just replay the mission on difficulty or the like?

[copper zodiac]

Is there any other way to get Sport Mode Pistol talent?
Also when Stack Broker shotty?

[tulip fiber]

Just from the Quickshot. Stack Broker, soon.

[gleaming wigeon]

Anyone know if the rank up cashes got nerfed? 🤔

[inner tendon]

@gleaming wigeon They've been massively buffed since last Season.
Check https://www.ubisoft.com/en-au/game/the-division/the-division-2/news-updates/46PA0GyI7S9KzGxbKZmBbT for details.

[gleaming wigeon]

Ok thanks, I just noticed a drop of in the amount of bonus items since I hit tier 200

[bold tiger]

you can, but do you want to run it 100's of times until you get them? vs, create new character, get to 40 and get 100% first time master? choice is yours, master is a 14% chance to drop 2nd clear on wards

[dawn wave]

from what ive heard the drop is increased/confirmed based on what it is on those difficulties if its a story based exotic

[mellow trout]

its only guaranteed on your first clear on that character and only on master

[bold tiger]

normal to challenging is single digit drops, heroic and master is double digit below 20%

[mellow trout]

so if you really want it like lost said theres no point grinding just do it on another character

[turbid sapphire]

you misspelled mariokart pistol. jeez

[inner tendon]

To clarify: Quickstep's Talent can not, and will not be able to be extracted, as it's considered a "named item thing".

[copper zodiac]

ok RQ What's the Shepherd Item ts time?

[pseudo tundra]

should still be caretaker

they havent announced a new item for the shepard stuf

[turbid sapphire]

for the record, caretaker was gifted after you reached a specific shepherd rank. however this event is a project, with 10 exo and 2 reconstructed crate. I dont know if even caretaker will be offered

I think it wasl ike shepherd 15, but I forget

[inner tendon]

The last one was a Project too.

[pseudo tundra]

wasnt caretaker also a project series?

[turbid sapphire]

I dont remember the specific wording of the project, but it dropped every level after 15. I think caretaker was annouced by ubi, not the project. which may mean it might drop?

[candid verge]

isn't Caretaker part of the rank up caches? 🤔

[pseudo tundra]

caretaker was originally part of a shepard event that involved a series of projects that gave you more rewards as you levelled up your shepard rank, the last reward of the series of projects was caretaker, around easter together with an shepard XP boost that made so you would get extra endorsements from people

they are doing a series of projects that gives your rewards based on levelling up your shepard rank, i am not aware if caretaker is reward once again or this is just a one of

but caretaker is currently dropping from the strech goal caches

[turbid sapphire]

caretaker is confirmed, but per character only 7 project completions

[pseudo tundra]

shared a couple

[turbid sapphire]

Im mildy consider making 3 40 boosted, to farm 7 on each.. but I think ,you should only need 1 slot, as brooklyn dlc gives a 40

rinse and repeat and all that

[copper zodiac]

So whats it mean when the timer for Stretch Goals end?
Like any levels past lvl 100 are js gone?

[pseudo tundra]

Pretty much, no more extra looping caches

[bold tiger]

Nods when the stretch goals ends we'll be starting a new season

[vocal stone]

So I should focus on leveling up or doing the sheperd event for caretaker?

[rugged stratus]

yes

[copper zodiac]

yeah nah bro I'm cooked. (lvl 50, 4 Days & no 2x.)

[inner tendon]

@copper zodiac Even without the boost, you can rank up quite fast if you do it smart.
Just make sure you focus on things in this order:
Journey+Manhunt stuff, that'll get you close,
then if you're not at 100 yet, go for "Priority Objectives: Strongholds. The reward doesn't matter, just the difficulty.
You got this, Agent

[civic junco]

You can do 50 levels in one day with Heroic and 4 Directives just running around doing projects and capping control points

[inner tendon]

You get so much more Season XP from doing the Journey+Manhunt content.
Like, an absurd amount for the lack of effort you can put in. Especially the Manhunt stuff.

[civic junco]

Oh yeah if you haven't done all the manhunt they give like 5-7 per

I think I did Manhunt 6 to Master mission and gained like 40 levels lol

And the Manhunt missions aren't hard at all

I don't know if the stretch goals are the same as pass levels though honestly because my 40 levels was stretch

And I am 194 and only seriously grinded like 2 days since they went live

[inner tendon]

just shy of 10 rounds in 2 days is not half bad, can get that even faster if you saved the Manhunt/Journey rewards for when it went live.

[civic junco]

I read that was a thing, honestly I just got bored doing them during the season so I ignored them until I saw someone say they gave excellent stretch goal rewards. Then I completed them lol. Still have no desire for either exotic from the Master Mission though.

Now I'm swimming in Caretakers and Lexingtons, still waiting for a Turmoil drop though

[inner tendon]

Tempest is fun, the knees are weird but I've yet to give them an honest go.
You might as well do the Master Missions, they're something you'll regret leaving until later, with less people doing them after the Season is over.

[mild zealot]

just do classified/cp if you want xp

[mellow trout]

It spawns so many ads it crashes everyone's game and the servers get sent

[ornate zephyr]

kenly abusers are literal plague, even worse than conflict/dz cheater imo. Atleast with cheater you can still go elsewhere, kenly abusers will make you unable to play the game at all.

[plucky moth]

Is 160% stability makes a difference on MR or should stop at 100%?

[reef solstice]

There basically the nurgel faction from warhammer lol

[supple bane]

Context?

[bold tiger]

basically running kenly from beginning to end in a very quick fashion that basically DDOS' the servers so when people lay they play as if their connection is getting bombarded with requests so you don't even want to play since you shoot at an enemy but on your screen they're in one spot but the server has the enemy in another spot then you're basically downed without being able to fight back sort of deal

[bold tiger]

mispost there @mellow trout ?

[ornate zephyr]

look up kenly xp farm, basically what @mellow trout said.

[somber pumice]

@nocturne siren I know you said this thing is a bit niche but this rav build slaps

[nocturne siren]

Buy it on steam, I'm pretty sure it counts towards steam points in the store. Use the points you get to buy seasonal badges to increase your profile level or use it to buy cosmetics. I personally say just pick up seasonal badges

[nocturne siren]

You using my ravvy build? If so, I made a few tweaks to it. Ditch contractors, take overdogs. Ditch coyote mask, take a ceska mask. I'm seeing up to 1.7m crits to the body. Unsure if with or without modifiers but you'll see way more damage with Overdogs since Amp 30% > 8% DTA

You'll still have 3 piece Zwi and you'll open up wayyyyy more crit chance to stack more damage. The M16 will hit harder too

[somber pumice]

Oh yeah I already did that chief dw, I know coyotes is good but I haven’t understand the reasoning behind not taking overdogs

I run Ceska 3 zwi overdogs foxes

[nocturne siren]

My build was setup before ODogs were introduced. I just haven't gotten around to proper testing if ODogs amp boosts ravenous. Found out it does

[somber pumice]

Like you lose some crit damage to stack more crit chance but big deal?

[mild zealot]

i read the few reviews regarding purchasing one and that Ubisoft takes too long to process your credits into your account, which if that's the case i'm very concerned trying to purchase there. Steam does not refund in-game currencies, so if Ubisoft screws me over...concerned is all

[somber pumice]

You do have to target pick a bit but if you ask me

[ornate zephyr]

is there a shd limit to 5x xp?

[nocturne siren]

I buy credits on steam frequently. Never had that issue. As long as you have proof of purchase, contact support. Also @ornate zephyr it's capped at 1k levels

[ornate zephyr]

oo neat, thanks

[somber pumice]

All the low priorities sprint at you anyways so it filters out really fast

[mild zealot]

will take this into account

[somber pumice]

Enemy tech does hinder overdogs a LITTLE bit but nothing my trusty secondary can’t handle

[nocturne siren]

Imo no need to prioritize. Ravvy will have everything dead with not even 10% of the mag lol

Really need to get chow using the build. He says ew but I know he's just jealous

[somber pumice]

Yeah ultimately the “downside” of Odogs is only really bad on like legendary

We finally did DH just this week and I still had a good time with it

[nocturne siren]

Really? I never noticed it was terrible in Leggo. All the Leggo runners say it's a top tier item to take, especially on Nego builds which is solid for Leggo spawn sprays

[somber pumice]

That shit slaps so hard on Paradise Lost

[somber pumice]

I’m also not good so that might be a big part of it 💀

I can handle master but legendary rocks my shit

[nocturne siren]

When you do pick them up in steam, I personally restart steam and Ubisoft and it's usually there. There was 1 case I did have to log out and restart for a second time but haven't had that issue in a long while

[nocturne siren]

My buddy and I duo'd DUA with me as a solo DPS and him as a whole foundry build. The "car door" build if you know what that is. It took us over an hour because we were both clueless. Eventually as I kept playing, I learned which targets to prioritize first. Hug walls, abuse crowd controlling methods and don't peek fights you're likely to get hit by. It gets easier and easier

Eventually you can run into matchmaking and take full red builds. The clear time gets quicker and quicker when doing so

[somber pumice]

The classic, father mode and the DPS getting blown out of existence.

[somber pumice]

Wall hugging feels weird, some spots you can do it some you just can’t. Often it feels like I’m better off not actually advancing to a combat zone and just going back where I came from for a better kill angle

[tribal hemlock]

I only like overdogs with nego. On a single target burst DPS build I don't like it. I used it for a couple weeks then switched back.

[somber pumice]

I’ll never forget the trauma that was thinking the bar was cleared then 3 tanks walked in

Now I just camp the drug sofa for that entire combat encounter

[nocturne siren]

I noticed way more uptime on Nego VS striker too. I play with the modifiers as well so take my findings with a bit of salt

Have done Leggo without them tho I just choose the modifiers for fun

[tribal hemlock]

A lesser known spot that's pretty good.

[tribal hemlock]

It really depends on the mission and encounter. DUA is perfect for any nego build with a big mag because there are so many funnels. Other areas it can be a problem because your single target damage will really limit you.

[nocturne siren]

Yeah in those scenarios I swap back to striker when I know something like that will come up (example: DUA boss room)

[tribal hemlock]

Yea exactly. Over the past few months I've been appreciating uptime more and more. It can be a game changer. On some recent solos/duos I've been running striker chest with BK. In order to stay ahead of spawns and such in places like Tidal I just need to find good shooting positions and not stop shooting.

So many deaths due to reloads. Even fast reloads.

[royal briar]

Third time on the same floor.

Was told about some users there about a failsafe forcing open the next room, but I have yet to see it actually do anything.

[nocturne siren]

See I abuse Bluescreen and shooting sticky in the sky so I can reload while shooting the sticky at the same time. Enemies have 0 ability to shoot due to EMP/Disorient. Plus the reload speed with striker and gunner is dummy fast

It's not everywhere you're able to do that. When indoors I'll just drop my hive and pick it back up

[tribal hemlock]

Well for me it's less about enemies shooting back and more about taking out high priority enemies in time. Drone operators love to hide and only make themselves shootable for a short period. Same with medics.

My only issue with bluescreen (even with CC) is that without modifiers it just doesn't kill fast enough.

[nocturne siren]

They're super annoying to deal with then they do that. Occasionally with the drone ops I'll just blast my sticky behind their cover spot and force them out

Yeah you're right on the not killing fast enough part. That's why when it doesn't kill quick enough I just continue to spray enemies and spam sticky just to keep them from continuing to push forward or go cower in cover like the rats they are

Will have to do some runs without modifiers and see how it all plays out. It's been a little bit. My content lately has consisted of nothing but recapping my control points since my directives got stuck on my main PvE char. Had to reset the map only to find directives are bugged still. Need to toggle off DC and swap directives somewhere else

[tribal hemlock]

The damage is only really a problem at 4 player scaling. It still slaps in solos/duos IMO.

@nocturne siren Like this is way too close for comfort for me in a solo run. The CC saved it but it really shouldn't need saving. At 4 player scaling it's so much worse than this esp in matchmaking where people run ninja bags and other bad stuff you need to compensate for.

OTOH if I had a tm8 with burst DPS then it would still be a big asset. So it's one of those things that can't compensate for bad DPS but, if there is good DPS, it makes the team even stronger.

[nocturne siren]

Would explain why I've never noticed the issues too much. Must be I've been getting lucky with my matchmaking 🙏

Plus modifiers too, have to keep bringing that up for importance since yk free overall damage if control points are captured

[tepid goblet]

Wassup. I'm getting back into Div2 since EMP and switched to PC 😂 I bet I've missed so much stuff. First "season" as well with modifiers so needing to get my rank up and figure things out again. What's the best way to go about that?

[nimble spruce]

This season's only a week or two away from finishing so if you want to complete the season pass you'll need to be quick

[tepid goblet]

Yeah, I saw 4 days. Just wanting to get as many named stuff as possible from it before next one

[nimble spruce]

Fastest season xp farms are manhunt scouts, season journey, and priority objectives - check the season tab from the main menu to find them (manhunt scouts are on the map menu)

[tepid goblet]

Yeah my scout is only page 1, 2nd objective 😂 been focusing on priority and attempting season journey, just trash with the multiheadshots and figuring out how to actually activate the global mod

[nimble spruce]

Throwing the determined talent on a one shot build makes the headshots trivial.
Global modifiers are activated through the new menu next to the shd watch in your inventory

[tepid goblet]

Oh I have the modifiers on my thingy, but not idea how to increase it. I had to skip that objective and go for 2 headshots with a mag and sniper headshots

[nimble spruce]

You capture control points in different areas. Faster in Brooklyn and Manhattan as there are fewer areas

To get the full buff you need to cap every CP on your current map

[tepid goblet]

Ahh, gotcha my brain was thinking don't capture then the enemy has the modifier 😂 gunna be a struggle to finish season, but i'ma try

[thorn hedge]

[limpid sequoia]

still no stock broker? damn

The rollout is still delayed today as we finish remaining checks. We will update you again when everything is ready.

[real cypress]

day 2 of no stock broker

[novel shard]

Same depending on the mission I play I focus certain enemies

[novel shard]

Yup

[left plinth]

Is it efficient to farm Assessments through Control Points on Heroic?
Since 2 named enemies will spawn everytime

[real cypress]

sure if you can handle heroic

[tribal hemlock]

if you've run out of bounties, yea

[left plinth]

Yeap I ran out of bounties plus I roam with a group very often

[clever fjord]

those dont drop them

[real cypress]

is there any way to turn off the bat sfx from drones before i go insane?

[bold tiger]

nope, gotta listen to it, but i think next season they toned it down

[next inlet]

Like 1k

[next inlet]

It’s bad on legendary 👀?

Personally I’ve found myself speeding through legendaries with it

[somber pumice]

Not if you’re good probably, tho I can see it being an issue if you need someone dead and some low priority is still out and about

[bold tiger]

probably because there's no different tiers? purple, red and yellow health bars?

[next inlet]

I’ve just been running this build or this one on legendaries and going right through them

The only one genuinely haven’t been able to do was tidal basin

[somber pumice]

Basins messy yeh

I got it done once and I ain’t ever going back, that finale lmao

[next inlet]

It’s legit the worse if you’re like insanely aggressive

So many drones bruh, you deadass fully need a cc player for that one just to take out the drones

[somber pumice]

Probably my least favorite legendary ending, zoo was my favorite. I never knew I needed 2 black tusk riker tanks in my life until I saw them

Roosevelt ending felt like a slog with the maurauders but in hindsight I should have spent time getting EMP sticky, made that real nice and easy

[next inlet]

No matter what, never attempting that mission on legendary no matter what.

Plus I was doing them with like 3 directives cause I was trying to farm season xp

[somber pumice]

You’re a better man than me that shit is perma off for legendary, ain’t no chance

[next inlet]

If you have the build I use with zealot, you’re going to be rushing right through capitol building and district union without a care in the world.

[real cypress]

🙏 this shit is annoying

[somber pumice]

I’m keeping the seasonals off for the end of the season, don’t wanna get too used to the modifiers esp since they’re gone soon

[next inlet]

you get like almost 2.8 million per shot with backfire to the point where it refreshes really really fast

[somber pumice]

They’re so busted I loved them all, was a great season

[bold tiger]

so, who's ready to do some companion babysitting in 6 days? 😹

[real cypress]

me when the player with fixer drone and bat sfx annoys the shit out of me

[next inlet]

How is shit not censored but fk is

[somber pumice]

Bonus points if they had a mender seeker mine on you with perfect explosive delivery

[next inlet]

🤦‍♂️

[bold tiger]

giving me ideas 🤔 plus jackolantern sfx. explosions with deep bass laughter?

[real cypress]

shit is mild but td2 is lowkey christian so u cant say the f word

[next inlet]

Oh also, does the 5x xp increase your expertise leveling on items you have equipped on?

[somber pumice]

If you wanna be a real nuisance don’t forget festive delivery and mad bombers/collectors

[next inlet]

Like this? And if I go into countdown with it

[real cypress]

it does seem so coz i maxed out my refractor expertise within like 1-2 DUA matches

[next inlet]

👀

Welp I guess we’re getting to 30 during this event

[real cypress]

im lowkey going insane because of the bat vfx constantly screeching in my ears

like why cant they make it subtle like the patriot vfx with the hive it looks cool

but doesnt cause your ear to bleed shit

[bold tiger]

i like the ghost vfx on hive

[real cypress]

yea thats acceptable coz most run a revive hive or a restorer hive

and then u have the useless fixer drones that serves nothing other than wanting you to shove your hand through your monitor to strangle the other guy for having it on

[bold tiger]

/join xRezzly and sets up fixer drone with bat vfx and sends it to xRezzly 😹

[real cypress]

i will ddos you like the hunters after spawning in for 0.001s

[bold tiger]

guess i better up it with explosive delivery as well? 🤔
