[inner tendon]

I split the difference and used the Selfie emote instead.

[nocturne siren]

🤣 love that

[upper niche]

So will the "companion" be equipped using the active modifier 🤔

[oak gazelle]

the companion is basically the active modifier

[spare girder]

Is there any apparel or reward for completing the pact climax mission?

Cuz I can't use my xbox for like 20 days and I wanna know what I'm about to miss

[inner tendon]

@spare girder You can do Climax Missions later on.

[spare girder]

What about the rewards?

And ik I can do them later on

[inner tendon]

AFAIK it's just the Exotics this Season, but you do get 2 of them. (Blacklisters, and Tempest)
You can get those whenever you run it, guaranteed for your first completion on Master difficulty, per/character.

[spare girder]

So no apparel patch, vest or gloves?

[obtuse wedge]

Question, so I got the guilded black bag on my pc div but not on my Xbox? Was it a login to receive or was it a veteran reward along with the gold Lexington?

[obtuse wedge]

All three of those were granted in the stretch goals caches

[steep void]

So survival fest is about playing survival in d1?

[inner tendon]

Correct!

You get a reward for logging on and playing Survival during its run (starts December 9th) in div2, an arm patch.

[dawn wave]

Anyone know when steam discounts are found for division again?

[steep void]

I'm not into d1 nor has that dlc 💀

[steep void]

Winter sale

[dawn wave]

Ok thanks

[left ravine]

Currently on sale in the Ubisoft store if it matters to you

[feral bronze]

anybody got link to new patch notes that dropped after the stream just now every link i click ask for basically your whole life and over 1000 consents to turn off

[inner tendon]

@feral bronze #patch-notes will have them soon.

[trim thistle]

You can use the cooler to silently stack on a Tipping Scales build prior to combat.

[dawn wave]

Ubisoft store sadly doesn’t convert right for my boys so I’m having them wait

[split crystal]

True sons defectors can come with us to NYC and Brooklyn, right?

[inner tendon]

Think of them as pokemon, you can spawn them in.

[clever fjord]

Well that just turned the whole season into a joke

Whatever go my true son's engineer

[pseudo tundra]

well none them are fire type to learn flamethrower

[clever fjord]

Giving my rpg true son napalm ammunition

[inner tendon]

Fire'll be with the Red Edition, we're only getting Blue during Mutiny.

[winter mason]

How many chevron levels are there?

[pseudo tundra]

three fiddy

but real answer is 4

[copper zodiac]

How often do ppl run Ninjabike Pack?
Will Mutiny Season have stretch goals as well?

[left ravine]

1. It's valid in PvP, not in PvE
2. Most likely

[copper zodiac]

Would you put it in a DZ Build?

[left ravine]

I don't play DZ anymore but yes

[copper zodiac]

mhm.... DZ is moreso "if you're there you're there." kind of thing.

[left ravine]

Idk what that means but I don't enjoy it anymore, on top the cheaters

[dawn wave]

AGENTS important question https://store.steampowered.com/app/3572140/Battle_for_Brooklyn_DLC__Tom_Clancys_The_Division_2/ this has both warlords of new york and battle for brookyln inside its right?

actually yes it does

[copper zodiac]

Now hold on a second buster.
I don't recall there being an AIO Bundle last I checked Div 2's Store page.
Edit: Nvm I'm dumb. (Ultimate edition.)

[dawn wave]

ye?

[dawn wave]

it appears to be a steam side bonus they are a common together buy so im guessing steam side they linked them together with a slightly better discount

[ivory sundial]

what are all the apparel pieces of the tom sergeant outfit?

[left ravine]

Minus the backpack

[ivory sundial]

theres a backpack?????

[left ravine]

...

[ivory sundial]

whats the backpack look like?

[dawn wave]

mutiny is live rn and they spawn at contested points?

[pseudo tundra]

No update is tomorrow in a couple of hours

[next inlet]

What’s the best way to get reconstructed caches?

[pseudo tundra]

descent and retaliations, sometimes there are events that also give them like the hsepard one

[next inlet]

So would descent or retaliations be better? I understand both give them but I want to know which one gives more per hour

[bold tiger]

well, retaliations is timed, where as descent is as long as you keep going

[next inlet]

Time to do descent then 👀

Other way I kinda want to max out all the attribute stuff in it lol

[bold tiger]

retaliations, the kill squad has a 50% to drop a reconstructed blueprint and successfully defending the area has the same chance

[next inlet]

WHAT? Theres no way they have a 50% chance, because I legit haven’t gotten 1 in like a good 30+ retals

[nocturne siren]

Damn I didn't know that. Might start playing it more often

[bold tiger]

i could be wrong, but pretty sure that's what a youtuber said when i watched it or there was some kind of notes i've read at some point

[storm crescent]

Real

[dawn wave]

Which missions are first? Warlords of new york or battle for brooklyn?

[strange harbor]

It's wrong. 50% Exotic Blueprint on Heroic difficulty. Not recon bp.

[bold tiger]

oh was it the exotic blueprint?

[mild zealot]

sup y'all

questions about the Pakhan exotic...where's the blueprint?

[brittle walrus]

Retaliations

[bold tiger]

my bad, thought it was the reconstructed blueprints that dropped at that percentage

[brittle walrus]

Its random tho

[bold tiger]

no i think they meant the reconfiguration

[mild zealot]

yeah what i said

[brittle walrus]

U probably need to get the weapon first and buy it from the crating station

Just like the other regular exotics

[mild zealot]

inaya doesn't sell it

[bold tiger]

nah, you just asked where's teh pahkan exotic blueprint. retaliations does have one wehre you combine things to make the actual gun with 3 exotic components i believe it was? plus other things obviously, but yeah more clarification is best at this point

[mild zealot]

well then i think i have to level up this gun to unlock the recon blueprint then

worked for me in the strega for some reason

[next inlet]

How many broken watches do you get per retaliation? Only 1?

[inner tendon]

@next inlet You get at least 1 per CP completed, and IIRC a chance(?) at some from a Kill Squad.
try playing it on Challenging.
Once you have 7, you can craft them into a Reconstructed Cache via the Crafting Table.

[desert thunder]

Well my companion's ready to go and fight

[inner tendon]

@urban ferry Retaliation is a permanent gamemode.

[bold tiger]

and you're ready to listen to their constant chatter? (> <)

[pseudo tundra]

They changed that according to notes

[bold tiger]

bah, you're no fun. wanted to see them dread the chatter bit 😹

[trim meadow]

I'm a bit confuse about "it stays active whenever the Global Modifier is on" What does this mean? 15% weapon damage is available when only I press T? Or just having the modifier in set will work

[bold tiger]

no think it means each one you recruits gives you a smaller bonus. think 1.5% they mentioned. so having 10 assault will give you the 15% weapond damage whether you have your companion summoned or not

[inner tendon]

Remember that "global modifier is on" just means you've turned it on via your Menu.
Pressing T means your "Command Link" is active.

[trim meadow]

Ah that's it, So it means On and stays with me forever without pressing anything, And pressing t is command link.

[inner tendon]

This has all the info you likely need: https://www.ubisoft.com/en-au/game/the-division/the-division-2/news-updates/5fLsSWyLeFsYWiBxlByY4K

[bold tiger]

nods if you press on that spot to the right of your specialized weapon and go in there and hold key to activate the modifiers

[trim meadow]

Yeah reading it, just got confuse by that part and wanted to make it clear from experts

[bold tiger]

🤔 how many youtubers will start up backfire builds again this season?

[trim meadow]

So basically the season will be all around saving my companion, I can summoned 1 companion but rescuing 15 will give me extra benefits like weapon damage.

[bold tiger]

if they're the assault type, think their command link was a Rocket Launcher?

[inner tendon]

Engie gets a turret, medic a support station.

[bold tiger]

you know i never managed to see that rocket launcher get fired in pts

[trim meadow]

But I saw somewhere in videos, I think somewhere, Can't remember honestly where....

[steep void]

Yeah once u save 10 of each type u get season long extra benefits

[inner tendon]

The stream last night showed a trailer where it was shot a bunch of times.

Trailer should be on youtube now/soon.

[steep void]

But each time u recruit someone it replaces previous one so u better find good trait one at last 😂

[bold tiger]

i'd say your 10th or last one at least?

[trim meadow]

Ah I thought they're all the same, just gaining more power and giving me advantage. LOL

[bold tiger]

i imagine you getting the engineers and medics will also give you those benefits

[pseudo tundra]

Traits are random, so you pick the one you want

[bold tiger]

was there a place where we could see the ones we've recruited and choose which one we wanted to summon?

[steep void]

There's only 1 at a time

[trim meadow]

Any idea about one traits how this is gonna act?

[steep void]

Like some companion throws riot foam some charges command link faster some throws tear gas

[bold tiger]

from memory, they come with 2 i think? bottom one probably various kinds

you'll get a comparison window when you find another same archetype you have summoned so you can decide if you want to swap them out or not

[pseudo tundra]

2 traits per companion

So if you find another assault, game will show what traits each one has,.so you decide which one to keep or not

[trim meadow]

Ah got it, I was just wanted to know what kind of traits you guys talking about like, first assult will run fast/throw grande, 2nd one will damage 3% more than first one/have rocket launcher...

[bold tiger]

think i mostly saw traits in gaining command link faster or throwing different nades

think i just had terrible rng for those lol

[pseudo tundra]

Special nades, having more armor but being slower, trait gain, some on kill effects

[inner tendon]

All the Assault ones have a rocket launcher, just to clarify.

same as all medics have a Support Station, and all Engineers have a turret.

[ornate zephyr]

can we inspect banned players?

[bold tiger]

how would you?

[ornate zephyr]

idk, im asking. Do their agents get closed forever or?

[inner tendon]

If your div account is "banned", your entire ubi-connect account is too.

[bold tiger]

well, banned = won't exist anymore

[ornate zephyr]

ok, thanks for answering.

[spark ravine]

Regarding early lvl 40 and getting gear is getting control point threat 4 a good source of gear I got a ton of high tier 💚 from it is there other better options

[bold tiger]

best quickest choice is always queueing up for Challening Countdown with your target loot set to what you want from the run. that place drops a sheer amount of loot in general

[spark ravine]

Alright

[bold tiger]

dunno how to set it on console, but on pc we hover over countdown (far right of the map called Pentco power Station or something like that) hit H while hovering over it to open a UI showing all kinds of icons

see if i can get in before servers goes poof

[spark ravine]

Alright im trying that i take it the odds of finding a match are slim?

[bold tiger]

first picture is to show where the coutndown is, second is the picture of all the stuff you can set for your target loot. on PC it's holding H to get that

challenging shouldn't take long as it's always being ran. heroic would be slim, normal and hard near non-existant

just know servers going down in 2ish hours from now

[spark ravine]

I was going to say this game isnt alive much anymore I take it lol

Hopefully I'll find something

[bold tiger]

it's more alive than you think. a couple of seasons ago it brought old players and new players

[spark ravine]

Still searching lol

[sour mortar]

thats smooth motion. its a gpu thing but some games don't like it. even tho it doesn't inject into the game itself, only the GPU

[bold tiger]

nods might be a slow thing as people are preparing for server downtime or trying to hash out as much stretch goals as they can for whatever theyr'e hunting for

different game but they managed to make it work with easy anticheat it seems?

but still i probably wouldn't risk it honestly

[sour mortar]

iffy situation. sadly i dont have a burn account to test

[bold tiger]

why not try the demo?

[sour mortar]

ngl. i didnt know they had one xD

[bold tiger]

now you do, although i think it's only 5 hours of gametime though

[trim meadow]

When Twitch Drops will start?

[bold tiger]

i almost suggestd run it in Xbox Game Pass if you got it, but was like would suck you do and they ban you and microsoft bans you too

[sour mortar]

its based off of your ubi account not MS account

MS GP sub provides ubi+ if with ult version

[bold tiger]

yeah i know, but if they pushed microsoft enough to "ban you on their platform too for hacking their game" without realizing you're just using a graphics card option, would just suck to pay it and have it not usable anymore because of one company for their game

[sour mortar]

since we are on pc. it still use ubi app and not Xbox itself

it be different if it ran natively through Xbox PC app

[bold tiger]

oh it's 8 hours
Play The Division 2 base game for free for 8 hours by downloading the free trial. Start your journey in Washington D.C., in solo or in co-op up to 4 players, reach level 8 and keep your progression if you purchase the game.

[pearl pasture]

Took this as a sign to stop until the update later

[desert thunder]

Mine wont die

[trim meadow]

Is there any way to purchase this specific edition without having standard or gold?

Right now only one option available is expansion

[dawn wave]

This happened to me in warlords of New York I clipped through a stair way

[compact pagoda]

k i will try

[neat holly]

What's everyone's favorite voice line in the series lol
Mine: "If I can't get more pieces from the toy store, I'm not gonna be able to finish my f#####g map!" -Manny Ortega

"Not a chance"

"Diesel, are you dead too you inbred son of a b####?"

[hard quail]

I was just about to type that one out 😂

[tribal hemlock]

"Is that supposed to be helpful, Earl?"

[neat holly]

The True Son combat bark where a dude just yells "F### the Division!" usually makes me laugh lol

[cold pumice]

I had one yesterday call me a cheese for using a shield 🤣

[spiral dirge]

"You want me to run away? I thought you knew me better than that"

or

"Negative, sir. I refuse"

by Wyvern

[cold pumice]

Best line is:

"Diesel are you dead too you inbred son of a bi***"

[trim meadow]

Is there any way to know if The Division 2 will be in the winter sale, or if it’s only going to be on sale during Y7S3.

This may Division 2 was 2$+ now it's 5$

[left ravine]

` “Keep your eyes open! It might be nothing, but it might be something. ”

“Is that supposed to be helpful Earl, because it isn’t”`

[cold pumice]

Which is still a good deal

[mellow trout]

Games dirt cheap on a sale especially for the amount of content

[trim meadow]

It's a little bit pricy for me, that's the problem but considering the price it was in May it was good deal. It's almost 4% of someone's monthly income in our country

[gleaming wigeon]

How long is the maintenance as I'm itching for the new season? 🤔

[stray hamlet]

#server-status

Does anyone have a guideline of what to do after beating back Black Tusk at Tidal Basin. I've heard its do Coney Island then one other quest then jump into WNY

[nimble spruce]

Check the pinned messages in this channel, there's a guide to the order

[mild zealot]

so against my better judgement i bought the one-time offer, however i have to ask, can you still purchase them again by the next season?

[desert thunder]

Will my settings got resetted it again.. and the messed up part is I keep on forgetting to take a photo of my settings

[strange harbor]

The 750 prem credit? It's one-time offer every season

[mild zealot]

so it comes back in circulation for every player each season, regardless if they bought the previous one?

[strange harbor]

Yes, they are refreshed every season. The 750 and the 3000 packs.

[mild zealot]

ah tnx for the info

[molten kayak]

anyone know when the servers are gonna be back up

[candid verge]

Usually there is a server status update when the maintenance is complete. https://discord.com/channels/477210626742288384/489377254833651714

[molten kayak]

ok thank you

Hello, is the server still down?

I have checked serverstatus but dont see anything

[remote scarab]

[dim pebble]

?

[remote scarab]

let me check

[dim pebble]

@remote scarab thx

[remote scarab]

@dim pebblethats all the info i could find

when was that waitt

[dim pebble]

45 min okay ^^, Just got the game so was like wtf

[remote scarab]

wait the game maintenance started at 4:26 PM in my time @dim pebble 2 MORE HOURS

i think........

[dim pebble]

Aahh 🙂

[winged oak]

Been away for a while, is the sheriff shotty only obtained at the end of the season when the climax mission is available?

[remote scarab]

same here

[trim meadow]

Is that Mike guy still there?

[nocturne siren]

I'm pretty sure it'll be the reward

If it's not, it might be the new chest. I have genuinely no clue for certain. We will know when we see which exotics are which on the reward tracks

You MAY be able to load up yesterday's dev stream and try to unblur the sneak preview of the rewards they showcased. If you see the new rifle and chest, that answers the shotgun question

[winged oak]

So we're not sure if it's reward tracks or climax mission?

[nimble spruce]

Pretty sure they said in yesterday's livestream that the shotty will be the climax mission reward

[nocturne siren]

I'm not 100% sure myself. But checking the dev stream will answer the question

[winged oak]

No time to scroll through video, just gotta wait and see i guess

[oak gazelle]

shotty is the climax mission reward

[spare girder]

Does anyone know who r the content creators that are collaborating with TCTD2?

[oak gazelle]

yeah, but it's info we can't share here atm

[spare girder]

Why?

[oak gazelle]

rule 6

[nimble spruce]

You mean the creator event coming soon? Didn't they name them on the stream yesterday? Iirc GCRock was one, didn't recognise the names of the other two.

[remote scarab]

can i have free exotics 😊

[remote scarab]

the_Kettle yes bro

[desert thunder]

2 more hours

[remote scarab]

thank you bro 🙏

[nimble spruce]

Not sure what you mean. I don't have any free exotics to give

Also, #rules 4

[bold tiger]

i think Kalikunn (karen) believes you're a dev (manager) and wants compensation for the 2 extra hour delay

[desert thunder]

lol no pay for you

[remote scarab]

no extra please

[bold tiger]

#server-status message

[remote scarab]

dang it

[remote scarab]

its isac fault trust

[desert thunder]

come on and make it 3 more hours

[remote scarab]

im not gonna do that bro (rather 10 hours)

[bold tiger]

i'd rather it be a 20 hour downtime. watch the discord here burn and everyone asking for compenstations

[desert thunder]

lol

[remote scarab]

recreation of the dollar flu

[oak gazelle]

Nevermind.

thegamingbrigade, GCRock, SplinterShield

[austere dagger]

Hello, I need a predator mask for the game.🤔 😀

[oak gazelle]

@junior sequoia

[dense whale]

never heard of splintershield damn

[oak gazelle]

me neither, but I mean I don't really watch a lot of division CCs anyway

[bold tiger]

i suspect youtubers will fill people's minds with backfire striker builds being top meta

[dense whale]

lol

it also reminds me of Provocator Chest piece
a "CONTENT CREATOR" claimed that it was meta type good.

[bold tiger]

one recent season had a 7.5 has pro per armor core, content creators pushed people to try their builds with 1 pc yaahl not sur ehow many armor cores to reach that no bleeding backfire reloading bit. tons of people "how get yaahl?"

[rare storm]

Is the Julmust Mask gonna return tonight?

[trim meadow]

Which stream should I watch and when it'll start?

[inner tendon]

@trim meadow You can click on the "more" and just pick any stream.
It'll go live when the game is live.

[thin mural]

Ok, I am off to the gym. I had rushed home for this, then two hours delay announced and yet another one hour. 😩

[weak finch]

Please teach me how this work

[bold tiger]

what's to learn?

[weak finch]

I have to be logged in on Twitch and watch the stream for 4 hours... and after that I get like a code? for redeeming in my account?

or do I need to be logged in directly with like my Ubisoft account

[bold tiger]

i thought it was any streamer but apparently it's partnered streamers you watch, you get the 4 hour mark you claim in in twitch if it's bound to your correct account you get it in game

[weak finch]

so I need to connect my ubi account to twitch, got it

[pure talon]

Yes

[bold tiger]

most people will have it on a streamer, and go play or something

[oak gazelle]

that been always the case, because you can't enable drops on non-partnered streams
the streamers must apply to the Ubisoft partner program and get accepted, before they can enable it on their channel

[pure talon]

@weak finch if you have the accounts linked, go to your twitch profile, click the gear icon (settings) and scroll to "drops" to track progress on campaigns.

[weak finch]

Thanks, I linked the ubi account to twitch... refreshed the stream (nothing but skillz) and... i think i'm good?

[oak gazelle]

look at the picture again, it says 6pm CET, so you won't be able to obtain them atm
another 30 minutes to go

[weak finch]

Thanks, so the part about checking on "drops" is in half hour

[bold tiger]

or longer

[oak gazelle]

yep, everything else should be fine if done correctly

[weak finch]

by the way the game is LIVE

[forest ether]

does this get wiped the moment i log on 😔

[bold tiger]

short season?

[lyric pier]

hello! if i want to get the additional dlcs and have the base game, is it better to buy the gold edition or buy the separate dlcs? Im not sure if im doing something wrong but it seems like buying the gold edition does not lessen the price even if I have the base game

[terse cairn]

New fang pack is not on steam?

[pure talon]

@weak finch drops are live

[plucky moth]

Is there a way to mute the companion?

[tribal hemlock]

yea the yapping is out of control

[trim meadow]

Anyone have this?

[delicate tartan]

Whats manhunt quest 2, donate resourches, or like dz claim suply drop, where, have never done at pve claim suply drop, solo, i know it exists but...

[oak gazelle]

turn off the season modifier 😄

[neat matrix]

ok so i have a question for the friends referral can it be anyone as long as i send them the link and just play for 2 hours with them, and do they have to be new players???

[odd condor]

they need to never have logged in and created a character prior to getting the link, yes

[tidal depot]

I purchased a season pack from Epic Games, but it was not activated through Ubisoft. Who should I contact?

[neat matrix]

@odd condor alright thank you ill try to find someone who has never played the game

[weak finch]

so if I "claim now" it should go to my linked Ubi account, is that correct?

[nimble spruce]

yes

[oak gazelle]

btw. there are also broswer addons that will automatically claim drops

[weak finch]

id rather not sweat thinking about a ban, its just 4 hours

[inner tendon]

You don't even need to actually watch it, just open the stream and let it play in the background, on a low quality setting if need be.

[weak finch]

yes, that what im doing boss

[oak gazelle]

lul you don't risk anything by using extension for twitch

[pure talon]

@weak finch yes; give it a moment and it should show up in game.

[forest ether]

how do i get him to move hes been stuck here for like 10 mins now

[cold pumice]

Just...go somewhere else?

[inner tendon]

@urban ferry Check the 📌 pinned message over in #td2-general-chat

[pure talon]

@urban ferry go to your twitch profile> settings> drops.

[nimble spruce]

go to a stream and then click your profile pic in the top right, you get this dropdown:

'Drops and rewards' is in the middle. There's also an icon on the top bar to the left of your pic - the one with 3 notifications in this is your drops

[pure talon]

^ this. I was on mobile when I took that SS. On desktop its different. Apologies

[upper niche]

Am I correct in thinking "Shepherding" (call-for back-up) is for another week ? 🤔

[lusty sparrow]

anyone know if its possible to mute this annoying companion?

[upper niche]

His loud footsteps are a pain, I keep thinking the enemies are running up on me 😱 my surround sound makes it worse 😁

[lusty sparrow]

it's more the irritating bollocks he keeps waffling!

[upper niche]

😱 🤣

[nocturne siren]

Was at work all day, still busy and won't be able to hop on later. Just a quick question:

Any new bugs get introduced this season?

[desert thunder]

Yeah we getting the DELTA error

[nocturne siren]

Anything that wouldn't be platform specific? Bc there's been plenty of cases certain platforms have instability issues

I'm talking bugs like scout missions 1 being wrong or not counting or something not working as intended that wasn't around last season

[desert thunder]

Cant say I keep getting kick every 10 minutes

[nocturne siren]

Could still be a platform issue or regional issue for you

[cosmic steppe]

6 times in the span of 2 hours, this is crazy.

[nocturne siren]

Now this I'll believe. What region you in?

[cosmic steppe]

North america, eastern

Its crazy cause like I never had this much trouble with the servers even when the other seasons were first released.

[nocturne siren]

Same. Thanks for the confirmation, agent

If it's multiple platforms reporting issues, sounds like the servers are still catching up due to the new influx of log ins

Additionally too sometimes updates can cause stability issues. They have to do it at some point every season

Is there any gear that's bugged out or is everything working seemingly as intended? Putting aside the crashes

[cosmic steppe]

Yeah, im gonna have to just probably play more tomorrow then. Its just the server kicking me out is the main issue for me.

[nocturne siren]

Got it 👍 if there's anyone else that has anything to report and is reading this, feel free to @ me

Trying to gauge if it's even worth trying to log in via steam deck later tonight

[cosmic steppe]

Honestly, if its this bad for even me then I would wait till tomorrow.

[nocturne siren]

I'll try my luck, I want to see the new stuff for the pass and see if I'll be putting out the 10 dollars for it like I do every season

[cosmic steppe]

Though have had some play time with the companions and theyre super helpful. Gotta say the last season and this season have had awesome new modifiers.

[nocturne siren]

Is the AI as stupid as it was or is it actually smart?

I've seen clips in the PTS and it was a major yikes

[cosmic steppe]

Its a bit stupid like it is, but also actually giving them commands helps.

They can do their own thing like normal, but theyre definitely helpful if you just tell them to target the enemies and then place them a little bit away from you.

[nocturne siren]

Sounds to me like I'll probably just do most of the work and run a healer companion

[pseudo tundra]

they are still a crapshot with the bazooka

[nocturne siren]

Damn and our game director spoke highly of it in the stream 😔

[pseudo tundra]

i mean they hit static target

but nothing in cover or moving

[nocturne siren]

Ahhhh okay. I'll have to try my luck when I can 🙏 your guys feedback has been super helpful

[bold tiger]

mine misshot their rocket launcher and hit a wall to the right of the target i wanted it to shoot. Wall ----------------- Target

[delicate tartan]

I want to buy new cache from countdown but still old cache , the pact? Why

Anyone know why?

Dont have access to the new brand set loot at countdown why?

??

[bold tiger]

because the season is about the companions?

[delicate tartan]

I should have access to season cache from coundown, the new , not the old, + new brand set loot drop at countdown, summit...

[fresh niche]

Journey 5 the "activate techline during combat" wont count when i use it no matter what i try it doesnt work

[delicate tartan]

Can you check why my coundown vendor has the old season cache called the pact not mutiny, i want to buy the new season cache mutiny from coundown vendor

[bold tiger]

i'm a player how would i know?

[delicate tartan]

Same i play too, but my coundown vendor has the old season cache, i want the new one

[vernal flower]

so they revamped refer a friend, so as a referer am i able to get timepiece now or is that still for the referee

[bold tiger]

@nocturne siren what's your take on the deltas? think it's player driven trying to press T a bunch to command their companion?

[nocturne siren]

I personally don't know. We see this nearly every season server stability is as smooth as Square wheels on a car

Then after a week servers are fine until Kenley opens back up

[bold tiger]

well, so far no kenly in the events least upto december 16th

[nocturne siren]

It's likely the new infrastructure in their code they're using for companions

Or large amounts of overhead due to the modifiers + companions making more load

[pseudo tundra]

you can use the keyboard to go down enough to select the new set if you are having problems

[delicate tartan]

I manged to get target loot, :), do it tomorrow;).

It should not matter difficulty, suply drop east mall manhunt
Quest right? And even i dont play manhunt, i will get access to mission later on with heroic, master. Good night

[desert thunder]

So this season fits perfect with the deltas Division mutiny they're about to have a mutiny here in a bit

[nocturne siren]

Tom Clancy's The Delta 2

[dry pond]

Does GPU driver version matter for this game? I switched from console to PC recently and I am using driver version 566.36 since that was recommended for a different game.

[nocturne siren]

It shouldn't, no

[left ravine]

3060/3060 Ti?

[dry pond]

Yeah xD

[nocturne siren]

Now, is it the 8 GB or 12 GB model?

Or the laptop one

[left ravine]

You can run the latest driver, make sure to run the game under DX12

[dry pond]

Allright, thanks. I was gonna do a fresh reinstall so I'll try the latest version. If that gives issues Ill try the driver I currently have.

[left ravine]

Running the 566.xx will cause isses with newer games

[nocturne siren]

Nvidia doing Nvidia things again

[dry pond]

Does turning on DX12 have any benefits?

[left ravine]

It runs smoother, no joke

[dry pond]

that sound awesome. ill definitly turn that on.

[nocturne siren]

Here I don't play it on dx12 💀 I might give it a try

I'm on a low tier 3050 Ti laptop card tho

[slim elk]

gib fidbak plz

[left ravine]

I run a 3060, compared to DX11, DX12 is much better

Not sure exactly about laptop impacts

[nocturne siren]

I'll do some toying around with it. I only have 4 GB of VRAM and div takes up basically 90% of it. DX12 might actually hinder performance

[left ravine]

Ah I see

[nocturne siren]

If it does I'll have to go on Chow's advice and give lossless scaling a try again to use my iGPU for the frame drops I do occasionally see when too many particles

[neat matrix]

question about the refferal friend do they have to be on ubisoft connect inorder for it to count

[nocturne siren]

I would upgrade to a full desktop but no space

[neat matrix]

or could they be on steam

[left ravine]

They need a Ubi account regardless

[neat matrix]

alright thank you

[real cypress]

3060 gang

i feel like dx12 works fine on relatively new gpus

unless the game for some reason is unoptimized for dx12

[left ravine]

Yeah was gonna say, not the case with every game

[eternal edge]

anyone else getting delta errors

ive gotten 2 in like an hour and a half

[turbid sapphire]

almost all games have this issue on content launch. there are die hard playwers and there are dlc players

server load, even on ff14, gets wild

Im not sure a game like val does, but val servers and div arent in the same league

[peak iris]

Anyone know the fastest way to level up modifiers?

[slow grove]

I did get my 3 companions but I'm out until the delta disconnects get fixed. Failing too much stuff to continue.

[next inlet]

In your opinions, is level 80 summit or countdown better to farm max gear mods?

[slim elk]

summit f90 is most common for max gear mods

[ornate zephyr]

how do one do that btw? repeating floor to farm stuffs?

[tiny totem]

is there an uptodate wiki or excel sheet or something either all the sets/named items and their stats and locations? cause the fandom wiki seems kinda useless

[next inlet]

yea mb, i meant that

[next inlet]

just kill the 3rd boss on that floor and make sure theres an enemy left standing, collect your loot and go back to the lobby and repeat the floor

[slim elk]

basically what Geico said lol I was gonna type that >:

[slim elk]

either way it is very unlikely that you get a max mod from leg f90 even with a full group, they're rare asf (some are more rare than others like PFE)

[trim meadow]

When twitch drop will be in my inventory?

[tiny totem]

you have to get them from mail at your stash box

[trim meadow]

I claimed them but stash/mailbox empty.. SO little bit confuse, never done this before.

[slim elk]

you're not supposed to be waiting in game when getting them drops, try restarting it and check again

[inland bluff]

It kicks me out of the game, disconnects me, and then that message appears: "on hold." I don't understand.

[trim meadow]

It happened with me today, I was in queue after 28 peoples

Maybe they their servers not that big 😂

[inland bluff]

Having problems again after an update

[next inlet]

I'm ngl I think it depends on the character or the account cause i was getting so many in random missions that i always gave out maxxed out ones on console, under 1200 shd

I also spoke to someone that switched platforms as well, and they said they were getting more on pc, and another one said the same thing i said too

It got to a point where I didn't even give them out, just deconstructed them

[tiny totem]

how do i get into this back stair well for the aquarium classified assignment?

[slim elk]

looks kinda cool, doesn't it?

[flint geyser]

Can you get quickstep and golden eagle from countdown?

[ornate zephyr]

quickstep is bounty only.

[flint geyser]

Ah thank you

[green wyvern]

By golden eagle also did you mean the eagle bearer?

[flint geyser]

Oh that’s what it’s called? Then yea that one

[green wyvern]

That’s only from the dark hours raid on normal difficulty

[flint geyser]

Oooh okay thank you

[left ravine]

You can get it. You can also get the blueprint

[green wyvern]

Or the dz with like a .024 chance but isn’t worth trying to do it that way imo

[left ravine]

Idk, got Delta'd during CD twice and can't be arsed to try again until the game's fixed.
Should be in the loot pool tho

[tiny totem]

can you still use the library function on favourited items?

[inner tendon]

@urban ferry On the map in DC there's a mission (blue icon), go to that.

Did you go up to the NPC afterwards?

Try opening your Modifiers menu (Press i > go to the one to the left of your SHD watch > follow the promps).

Well it says what to do on the screen right there, "recruiting defecting true sons to unlock". Go find another one of those events and enjoy!

[trim meadow]

Can anyone explain me this command link cost ? From where it'll spend? From Modifier Upgrade progress or my game currencies?

[neat holly]

It's the special ability that the companion can use

[trim meadow]

I unlocked 3 of them, I played random true sons activities and control point capture and they were standing there

[trim meadow]

Yes but what is this 80 amount coming from? How I'm gaining that point or where I can see how much point I've like I've 200 point/cost and if I use command link I'll lost 80 of them and have 120

No problem, Let us know.

[brittle walrus]

They can be found anywhere
I even found one inside the safe room

[neat holly]

You get the points from doing certain actions with your companion. When you have enough for the ability, the active modifier icon on your HUD with glow orange

[trim meadow]

Yes I can see that It's power cooldown and active options, but why it needs to mention 80 command link point, It's bascically a skill cooldown then why I need to know 80 command point cost?

[neat holly]

Each companion's ability requires different amounts, and each action to gain the points gives a different set amount

[trim meadow]

Okay but in UI can you see the point? I didn't see the point amount all I can see I've the action I press T action complete now the command is in cooldown. That's what I'm saying..😐

[neat holly]

The icon will fill up over time like it's on cooldown

There will be a grey bar that goes up

[trim meadow]

I can see that I've used that, but there is no UI for costing, Then why I needs to know how much a action cost when I can't see them. I know when to use the action when grey bar goes all the way up and orange T showed up and then it refill with greybar.

[neat holly]

To my knowledge (and I may be wrong), there is no way to see exactly how many points you currently have

Just the grey bar

[trim meadow]

Yes, yes that's what I'm saying then there is no need to add it'll cost 80 command points just put command cooldown 60 sec, 30 sec. That's better.

[neat holly]

I think the devs just want us to have to work towards using the abilities, rather than just waiting out a cooldown

[flint geyser]

Do you only get one stack broker?

[left ravine]

One per account

[tough bear]

What's the condition for getting Assist Kills with your companion? The condition is strangely difficult to satisfy.

We can't both damage the enemy and neither can I let him kill them on their own. The first ends up being Crossfire while the second ends up being Collateral. I also obviously can't manually ping an enemy or else that becomes Priority.

I've only been able to get an Assisted kill when (A) the enemy has aggro on my companion and (B) my companion somehow has not damaged that enemy yet.

... I guess I answered my own question, but still it's kind of tricky.

[inner tendon]

@ember helm

[spare girder]

Can anyone send the pics of season track

[delicate tartan]

Hello i went to bed so i dont know , i asked yesterday about suply drop it should appear on any difficulty? Right? Also i wonder since its a manhunt quest and its random , it should be more frequently , it would be nice to get notfied from isac? Im stuck at quest 2 manhunt area east mall

[tribal hemlock]

it's more likely to show up when you take all the control points in a named zone

so take all the control points in east mall and you should see it

[delicate tartan]

@tribal hemlock Yup and on any difficulty i do normal 🫢

, just be patient then...

[wheat orbit]

Delta 3 event start

AT LEAST 20 TIMES DELTA 3 SINCE YESTERDAY

This should be never released in this state. And then this dumb companions and delta afther delte. It was never been so worse.

[worldly fjord]

how do you get 5 multikills when spearhead is active?

[tepid sierra]

sure it has, the 24hrs there was no game...

[feral bronze]

@wheat orbit i cant even log in now friends the same non stop delta i wish they would just take the game offline sort the delta memory leak like they must have dropped it like this yesterday after the long downtime knowing it was like this butalteast i didnt lsoe a eagle and tempest i seen some streamers online about to grab and delta lol

jsut got in to open danny weaver stuff i bought as i was delta at him its all gone and he is now empty stock then boom delta agian lol priceless

[rocky bison]

:: Gets Companion ::
"Ohhh, this is neat"
:: Plays one mission with Companion ::
:: Searches for mute button ::
:: Deactivates companion ::

[feral bronze]

just do wha tmost people are doing atm complete journey turn it off and wait for delta

like when certain content creators atm streaming turing it off after journey completed tells me something lol

[oak gazelle]

yep best thing you can do is de-select the active modifier (companion) and gain just double the passives amount

[raven mountain]

there is an improvement when it comes to the commands given to the companion, he listens to most of them, sometimes he just stands there and stares, that's annoying

[cloud lichen]

Yeah but how are you removing the enemy buffs without one?

Does it work if u alone are doing them?

[raven mountain]

At this point I don't even care anymore, I just shoot them until they die XD

[feral bronze]

6 times trying to get out of the steps to complete cap building and boom delta lol joke this game atm

atleast twitch is all q screens

atm u can not complete nothing

and its getting worse

[heavy mountain]

see the DELTAS are back

[raven mountain]

my problem is with the companion voice lines
they are simple, useless and repetitive and often cuss too much
I expected them to have longer voice lines where they would explain events to the player from their perspective such as: why they joined the True Sons, how they were treated, what they were trained to do, if they had any regrets, why they deserted, etc. They could have recorded some voices with the help of the AI. They missed a pretty good opportunity. They could have told the player the events that happened up until now just by playing and listening to the companion voice lines

[feral bronze]

yeah true glad of the deltas now cant play more than 3 mins come back weekend hopefully sorted

[thin mural]

Does anyone else experience disconnections during gameplay? Or is it just me?

[nimble spruce]

Read up a bit and you'll see plenty of references to them

[feral bronze]

and also equip 3 passive modifers doesnt work atm for some reason in the journey

[feral bronze]

pop up ingame servers down for fix 15hrs downtime

changed to 3hrs

[tough bear]

I apparently can't heal the companion. Sad discovery for my healer loadout, although perhaps a negligible loss anyway.

[wheat orbit]

@feral bronze yea you're right. Bether keep this epic fail offline. I have alot delta 3 before, but this is from a other level. Its non stop. They bether give us the other season back. Take their lost, and trow this crap recycle bin. Best solution.

[inland bluff]

Specifically, it's error MIKE 01: servers are unavailable at this time

Again

[pearl pasture]

Oh apologies, sometimes bots do that. Can't be too careful.

Afaik they are doing server maintenance to fix the issues

[cold pumice]

Thats because theyve taken the game down for maintenance

[heavy mountain]

are they doing anything about these deltas guys

[amber estuary]

Does anyone knows if the previous Veteran Rewards will be coming back?
Anyone from Division team can answer this?

[inner tendon]

@heavy mountain Div2 is currently down for maintenance to help alleviate them.
#server-status message

[heavy mountain]

ok thanks for that

[inner tendon]

@amber estuary The devs don't really read these chats, to talk to them, you'll have to send in a ticket, or make a post asking for them over in #1380126780152614944
Just don't ping any blue names.

[amber estuary]

this is why i dint ping any blues or mods 🙂

thanks for the info will follow accordingly 🙂

[trim meadow]

Why active quickfix not working?

See quickfix is active!!

Nah maybe I'm doin something wrong

[lyric pier]

Im on stage 3 on unlocking gunner spec. How do you do the take hostile convoy if all the convoy on my map is green?

[dark flame]

@lyric pier reset control points

[pseudo tundra]

Can try another zone like NY

[lyric pier]

How?

[tepid sierra]

map

Global Settings > Reset Control Points

[tough relic]

What's with the compensation package I was given?

I log into the game and receive a notification about a package being added to my account

[tepid sierra]

Rather have a Delta

it's their "we're sorry for the Delta's"

[tough relic]

The what?

[tepid sierra]

... in the last 24hours of game play you can scroll and see nearly everybody asking about the Delta errors that were going on in game since the update went live...

why did you get a box, cuz the game was crashing for all players until they fixed it

[leaden crag]

Is there a place I can see which companions I have and what traits they have ??

[tough relic]

The connection issues. Okay

[delicate tartan]

When do they update countdown season cache from pact to mutiny so i can buy stuff, i have a lot of countdown credits now,

[tough relic]

Found the package
An exotic cache sitting in the special delivery section

[tepid sierra]

go to where you change your Modifiers, you can only change the type of guy following you, the stat you have to find

[leaden crag]

Yeah I know you can change your companion there but thank you .. I meant like … where can I go to see my companions stats to know which one I have like if he’s a juggernaut etc without having to find another companion to switch him out.. like is there a spot to see which ones you have ?

[tepid sierra]

same place....

you don't keep them all

just the last one you recruited

[void token]

no world tiers anymore? How can I make the game harder

I'm fresh onto div2 just so you know

[storm crescent]

If I didn’t do the climax mission last season is it gone now or can I still get the guaranteed rewards?

[pure talon]

From the map, look at the bottom margin and you should see global settings. Difficulty level up to heroic, and turn on directives for additional challenge

[pure talon]

Mastery missions are still available; im not sure if youre familiar with the different seasonal modifiers but the specific mods are liked to their respective missions.

[desert thunder]

So are we still getting errors or did that patch it yet

[storm crescent]

Bet

[tepid sierra]

wanna experience the old Modifiers, play previous seasons Master Mission, and voilà

[sharp osprey]

Wish they gave us the old compensation cache with 999 exotic components

[desert thunder]

Found a sweet score here 3 in one spot

[leaden crag]

Thanks I shoulda looked there to begin with appreciate it

[raven mountain]

Do you guys have this problem with Concentrated Company where after a certain time it doesn't work anymore? you just can't stack anymore and the icon remains green

[tribal hemlock]

Check your actual damage output. I don't know about the new gear set, but other sets have this problem where the visual stacking indicator goes away but stacking still happens.

[raven mountain]

no, it's broken, I can't stack, the damage remains the same

[slim ether]

Hey, anyone knows if there is an issue with the manhunt 2nd objective? I already did 3 supply drops but none seem to count and finish the task ... 😐

[raven mountain]

you have to complete them in East Mall

[slim ether]

i think i did, two of them.

but somehow they seem to conflict with territory controls going on at the same place

[cold pumice]

Anyone know this games bloody criteria for "Multi-kill"?

[pseudo tundra]

Try login in and out

[cold pumice]

Several times killed 2 or more enemies with Spearhead active and it's just not counting them for some reason

[raven mountain]

I tried, the problem persists, it works for a moment and after you are no longer in combat it returns to this problem where you can't stack

[drowsy needle]

I’m having the same problem with assist kills. Assist icon comes up but doesn’t count.

[cold pumice]

Assist kills worked for me, have to kill an enemy that is targetting your ally that they aren't attacking

[drowsy needle]

Yeah weird I’ve tried that. Idk man

[cold pumice]

Or your ally kills an enemy thats targetting you that you aren't also shooting

[drowsy needle]

Ok il try maybe targeting the enemy with command link and having my ally kill it while I have aggro.

[cold pumice]

That's clearly a "multi-kill" with spearhead active though lol

[drowsy needle]

Yeah for sure. Proofs in the pudding. Games buggy af though.

[cold pumice]

I even lowered the diff so I could run through it quicker but this multi kill one is buggy as hell lol

[drowsy needle]

For sure I’m still working on getting supply drop for manhunt in east mall. Finally got one but didn’t count got all crates too. Maybe you have to kill all ads as well. Il try that

[gleaming wigeon]

How do I check how many companions I have collected so far? 🤔

[tribal hemlock]

Where it says 10/10

[gleaming wigeon]

Nice thank you 👍

[copper zodiac]

How to farm NPC Recruits?

[cold pumice]

Safe houses

[copper zodiac]

K? Like do I walk around em?

[cold pumice]

Fast travel

[raven mountain]

they are inside

[empty robin]

Noob question. Got an exotic cache from the downtime that said contains “St Elmo’s Engine”, opened it and I got Chameleon? Is that right?

[void token]

Do all the vendors change like in div1? with a chance of selling really good items

[turbid sapphire]

neat "thx for your patience, heres compensation

what a new, pleasant login message

"coyote mask" component

[pseudo tundra]

it should contain a random exotic, idont remember seeing any mention of being an specific exotic

[gleaming wigeon]

Having trouble finding companions, Easier with modifiers turned on or off? 🤔

[pseudo tundra]

on, i dont even know if they appear if you have turned it off

did you do the introductory sidequest?

[gleaming wigeon]

Yes

Found more yesterday than today despite getting Delta'd constantly 😭

[slim elk]

you should ask in #td2-build-advice :D

[flint geyser]

Whoops

[patent imp]

Can any of the companions heal?

[desert thunder]

They can pick you up if you go down and yes the medic

[snow prairie]

someone tell me how do i even do this thing, i cannot find how to get up there

are they just glitched, did i get all the way here to lose the bounty

this is the location

[desert thunder]

go out side turn left

run around the bilding and go in back door

[floral drift]

how to level up companions?

[desert thunder]

use them play with them

[floral drift]

I'm doing it but it seems they earn a little amount of xp

[desert thunder]

welcome to the club

[floral drift]

sad 😢

[snow prairie]

jesus christ man id say bad level design but thats just how the building is irl i guess lmao

i got it though thank you for the help

[desert thunder]

there is the basement

but that way is much better the one going around the building

[snow prairie]

i dont know how i got to them but i got out somehow, again you were very helpful 🙏

[rugged stratus]

is there any resource yet listing the different possible talents companions can have?

[tribal hemlock]

@rugged stratus ^

[rugged stratus]

thank you sir

[flint geyser]

How do you do the shepherd xp event?

[copper zodiac]

Respond to backups.

[rugged stratus]

answer calls for backup

[flint geyser]

Ooooooh okay okay thank you

[copper zodiac]

Whats a good grenade for Sledgehammer?

[slim elk]

regular grenades work fine but idk if fragmentation grenades apply sledge on every target inside the blast radius

[copper zodiac]

What of Fire/EMP?

[rugged stratus]

fire is best

it can reapply sledge after initial blast

as long as its burning

[copper zodiac]

K so....
I gotta setup like. 2 FI builds. (1 tech other survival)
As to why? Support & Raid use.

[slim elk]

wouldn't EP be better?

[rugged stratus]

yeah, tech version is if you need faraday, otherwise survivalist is best. the emp will apply sledge fine if thats what you use

[copper zodiac]

well if The team is alr carried by Striker DPSes & St. Elmos, why not amp them?
Been my go to "support" build.

[rugged stratus]

both are viable tbh. if you dont need the cc then fi is a bigger boost

[copper zodiac]

Should I consider making an EP build for Raids?

[rugged stratus]

i use that type of build in cd. hazpro eclipse riot foam opportunistic/scorpio/survivalist buffs

there is a guide for it in the sheet. outside of cd you would just use status effects instead of hazpro

[slim elk]

and I gotta say WOW and thanks for running that thing

[rugged stratus]

oh not for raids probably

raids youll just need fi if you are in that role

[copper zodiac]

Ty gang those hunters had too much fun running around.

[dry pond]

Why can't I optimize this exactly?

[left ravine]

Did you press space to select it?

[dry pond]

yes

[left ravine]

What's it showing then?

[dry pond]

oh lol xD I sent the wrong screenshot

[left ravine]

Do you have CHD in your library?

[dry pond]

I can only optimize it if I have CHD in my library?

[left ravine]

It says recalibration

And yes you need to have an attribute in your library in order to roll it into another item

[dry pond]

What do they mean by slot attribute needs to be extracted exactly?

[left ravine]

If you find a max rolled attribute on an item you don't plan to use you need to extract it into your library first

So that you are able to put it onto another item you wanna recalibrate

Extract once, keep forever. Don't have to repeat it each time

[feral mango]

Found this on my old account

[dry pond]

Ahh I get it. thanks man 🙂

[weak finch]

Is there a reliable way to find new companions to change?

Thanks mother

[copper zodiac]

The text says "grenade deals DMG" so it can be ANY for the matter unless it a foam nade.

[tribal hemlock]

emp and fire (b/c of radius)

fire is nice since it'll cc for a bit

emp is nice since it'll block various skills, put dogs to sleep, etc

[snow cargo]

Sharpshooter - Flashbang has the biggest Radius
Firewall - Incendiary that leave fire and that applies Sledge has long has Lefty is still in your hand
EMP - It's a EMP with a nice Radius

[inner tendon]

Wait, flashbang and EMP count as "dealing damage"? TiL.

[snow cargo]

Yup. It's weird

[inner tendon]

Granted, IRL I'd say eyes are damaged if hit by a flashbang, but I was not expecting div2 for the realism angle there.
Top marks.

[snow cargo]

I wanna comment on another nade but I'm gonna be good

[tribal hemlock]

I think this might just be a case of wrong text.

Which wouldn't be the first time 😄

If you think about it, writing consistent text for a game like this is really hard. Imagine if you wrote a spec document outlining all the ways to use text properly. It would be huge.

I was playing Path of Exile recently and their approach is interesting. Whenever you see "more" (eg: "10% more lightning damage") then it's multiplicative with itself. When you see "increased" (eg: "10% increased lightning damage") then it's part of one additive pool.

[grizzled snow]

Tried searching but I didn't see anything for this.

Does someone do a daily post of the target loot? Like an image of it for all the areas of the game?

Ruben only does vendors. Not the open world.

[quick cloud]

GCRock, plenty of people post the loot tables

[grizzled snow]

In his Discord right? Not in here?

[quick cloud]

youtube as well

[inner tendon]

Yep, it's a good one to be a part of if you're a fan of div2.

this, that, and the community one are the "big 3".

[quick cloud]

if you want UA though, its Battery Park NYC right now

[inner tendon]

Countdown on Chall is far better for TL, if you have a limited play-schedule.

[grizzled snow]

I am. I sub to his channel and the one with the Mrs.

I just was hoping it was in here too considering the game has been out with targe loot for A LONG TIME.

Ruben was doing vendor resets since Div 1 and was a vital piece of the puzzle to effeciently farming gear.

Thanks for the heads up.

I will join his discord to get the scoop.

[inner tendon]

Well, since you can pick your own TL in Countdown+Summit for div2, most folks don't bother with locational targeted loot.

[grizzled snow]

that's what I was looking for.

[grizzled snow]

you're right, however, some missions are faster than countdoown and summit.

[inner tendon]

The issue isn't mission length, it's rate for time spent.
e.g. you get an average of 30-50 pieces of TL per Chall CD run, with a decent chunk of them being Named at the end with the Hunters.

plus, you also get CD tokens, which can be spent at the Laptop Vendor at the BoO.

[grizzled snow]

Like I have retaliations set to gear mods for the filament farm for exp.

With the off chance of a god roll mod.

I almost ALWAYS keep countdown and summit set to that too for the materials or for the off chance of a god roll.

[inner tendon]

Wait, Retaliation TL?

Did I miss something?

[grizzled snow]

YUP.

Hit "H" on PC, and you can SET your TL for RETAL

maybe "H"?

Might be "G"...

[inner tendon]

The default key on PC is H.

[grizzled snow]

NOW you're going to make me log in....FINE I'll play Div 2 Rivens....geeze

Ah yes, G is for matchmaking

[inner tendon]

The issue wasn't so much the key, just that I haven't played Retal' enough to notice that it had its own TL.

I kinda got annoyed at taking over CP's a few years ago from the "farming BP's from them" thing, and have hated them ever since.

[grizzled snow]

btw, I was teasing. you didn't make me do anything I didn't want to do

yeah I farmed them dry back then too. then they got tied to descent and I don't like that mode so NOW Retal is my go to for those recal caches for the BPs

yeah its "H". just confirmed it.

[inner tendon]

Yep, H in CD+summit too, it's just the go-to key

[grizzled snow]

So you can do a DIFFERENT mode to get BPs that you missed or don't want to farm a DIFFERENT mode from

I am just not a fan of Descent.

[inner tendon]

I've already got copies of most Named Items with godrolls from sheer event farming over the years anyway,
and most named items are kinda pants anyway, so

[grizzled snow]

I feel ya.

I took A VERY long break for the game when it had nothing to play for.

Now there's stuff to do and some of the BPs I want so I need to farm it in the best way to keep me entertained.

Retal is it for now. I farm the mats to craft the caches for the BPs.

Rinse. Repeat.

I, think, I already have every exo BP I can get from it ...no wait. I need to get it from for the new Exo vest with S3.

[inner tendon]

I'm saving the Journey+Manhunt stuff for free stretch goals, so no reason to do those yet.
perfect time for a break.

[grizzled snow]

I get ya.

[green frost]

So there's really no mask reward for completing the journeys this season ?

[rocky bison]

This is absolutely accurate

[inner tendon]

@green frost There's not always a mask reward, especially with the whole "can do in mostly any order" thing.

[pearl pasture]

Do we get the new named brand item blueprints via rewards anywhere? I just got the chest from a recon cache.

[inner tendon]

@pearl pasture Check the 📌 pinned message of #td2-descent for the updated list.

[pearl pasture]

Ah i see, thank you ms rivens!

[delicate tartan]

Does anyone play xbox controller how do i use companion comands?

[pearl pasture]

Up on the dpad, looking at cover it will tell him to take cover, aim at an enemy it will make him target it

Hold up for their skill

[turbid sapphire]

the ai uprising

🤔 Im assuming only engineer, assault and medic are recruitable. so no female ai, no rushers, no chungus, no foamers and no gunners. limits game models

there are only 2 types of assault models, the shaved head with hair on top, bald, and all eng and medics are the same

[trim meadow]

I think it's maybe a experiment maybe in future by player demand they can brind something hiring like in Blackflag you can hire your crew by giving them something in return/money. Maybe Division Dev might take player demand and keep this companion permanent but with some limited time feature. Instead of seasonal modifier. I think that'd be great. And Maybe in future if they do. They might bring legendary Open world 🤣

[turbid sapphire]

I hope. if I could have anyone Id have a black tusk team

Im just going through all the model and genders, vs roles in div

all chungus are guys
the only female medic is the nutcase hyena medic
engineers are often pretty diverse
rushers too
I also just realised outcasts and cleaners dont have rezzers hmm.. prob for good reason. I dont think rikers do either. seems only main factions do

[split crystal]

Has anyone ever had an open world civilian mention the true son defector standing next to the agent? (except for the propaganda broadcast)

[desert thunder]

Why do I get a funny feeling that my companion is going to kill me in the end or try to? I think he's going to turn on me

[opal oriole]

🤣🤣 he will if you don’t watch out because he will steal your cover mode or some times throwing foam grenade to foam you

[turbid sapphire]

captain lewis would like to send you a note: phhhhish, Noooo why would a munitious soldier, ever betray anyone. division are so suspicious. true sons are loyal... checks script prompt

[opal oriole]

How many players died by their companions by stealing their hiding spot lmao

[turbid sapphire]

and we thought ai was just dumb. twilight music

[split crystal]

I can imagine my agent’s conversation with the true son defector.

“Hey private james, why’d you move out of your hiding spot and rushed a outcast rusher knowing what they have on their chest?”

“Private James, please shoot the guy trying to flank me, not the sniper that’s too far from you. No, you can’t keep trying to suppress fire the sniper, the rusher is literally right next to me”

[muted lance]

I opened the old chest and got this is the hidden outfit?

[split crystal]

It’s the new season’s outfit piece

[muted lance]

I opened it in the old season chest

[turbid sapphire]

its bonus. Im not saying this is the case, but I dont think bonus respects crate loot drop

because take "the pact" crates for examnple. it almost guaranteed your gonna get something from that season, but the bonus is just the most random junk in existence. also, "bonus" is a perk you unlocked from the quatermaster, meaning the perk itself is not the same as the crate

[tiny totem]

is there a way to do one of these quickly solo ?

[turbid sapphire]

"they fell" how? "I dont know, they tripped, hit their eye on the doorknob" did you get them up "of course, that was the point" goo-, wait... what?

[tiny totem]

instuctions unclear . . . how do i remove a door knob from my eyehole

[desert thunder]

When in battle have ur medic put his healing sation down and hit urself with a chem lancher fire nade or foam nade in the healing box

do that 20 times

Anything to get you to have status effect?

[manic mason]

How do I make the medic put down the healing station? I have seen him do that once, maybe I accidentally made him do that and I can't do it again

[tiny totem]

ok thanks

[tiny totem]

hold t in combat

[desert thunder]

When it's full and available and then hold t to put it down

[inner tendon]

@manic mason What's your platform?

[manic mason]

PC

[inner tendon]

If you need any help with Seasonal stuff, there's loads of people running it, especially at the start of the Season like it currently is.
#lfg-pc is a great place to check, and you can find a clan for long-term group play over in #td2-clan-recruitment

[manic mason]

Thanks

[trim meadow]

Sometimes rocketlauncher so close to you right?

Quickfix not activing his abilities in time, turret targeting you is all SUS

[trim meadow]

Dev is like oh noo, they already know the story 💛🤣

[trim meadow]

I think Most of the snipers are Female too...Right?

[turbid sapphire]

tbh, I thought about it. its pretty 1-1, the riker sniper is male, the true son is female, bt is female, c/o/h N/A

[turbid sapphire]

I feel like 1/3 isnt a good metric

[trim meadow]

Don't know about the math, but the game is wild 🫡

[turbid sapphire]

I think actually the enegineer from hyena, might classify and hes male, cuz he has a snip[er turret

[trim meadow]

Isn't in incursion lovebird was couple? this is guy or girl?

[turbid sapphire]

LOL I just play the game, the amount of times people argue about semantics like theyll ever notice .02 ttk added to their build, boggles my mind. but, then again in their mind, each fraction of a milisecond is competition in speed running

[bold fulcrum]

what type of traits should i get for each true son defector?

[turbid sapphire]

thats a girl, but not gonna be an obtainable companion

[bold fulcrum]

girl, the rogue is a guy and the amount she carries around, she probably be working out too

[trim meadow]

I hire/keep what I get, never read what kind of traits they have LOL 🤣

[obsidian ibex]

Can you bring companions to the summit?

[bold fulcrum]

i mean the ranger i got had immunity to all DoT effects and a 20% damage buff for every 20m distance to target

[trim meadow]

If they're in fight (Couple fight), the guy will be dead, girl will lift him up and make him sandwich (fold him) 🤣

[bold fulcrum]

i can say more about what they do when their alone but ill just keep it to myself

[trim meadow]

No idea, but I should try today

[bold fulcrum]

and i also realized that every safe house has a true son defector, each eith different traits

[trim meadow]

Honestly I don't care either, If I can't play in heroic I'll switch it into hard/normal mode, But now I do build my loadout, It's interesting but still everything goes over my head

[obsidian ibex]

I hope it works lol

[muted lance]

lol

assault rate drop very min

[trim meadow]

So after recruits 10 assault I'll have 15% weapon damage, interesting...

[muted lance]

I still haven't found one

[trim meadow]

Do True sons CP, and world activities

[muted lance]

Spawm in safe houses

[copper zodiac]

is new gearset good after buffs?

[turbid sapphire]

🤔 I just realised comps counts as an ally which means it combines well with the new set

a stiker drone, comp and the new set would be an interesting combo

[charred shore]

Should we be on 18/19 comms from the pact?

[desert thunder]

So where did Yannick the hunter agent gone to. Did my jumping jacks ....he no show

[oak gazelle]

dunno, but I'm at 18/19, too and I can't get more through the mission, but I didn't try master again

[inner tendon]

Just matchmaking for a Manhunt on Master will likely get you in pretty quickly, especially if it's a highly sought after one, or very recent.

e.g. Tinkerer never takes me more than a few minutes.

[oak gazelle]

yea I'm not eager to try it just for a comm that I may can't even get at the end

[muted lance]

Turret not firing what is the problem? Bug?

[desert thunder]

No bad guys to shoot

[junior sequoia]

He forgot to update the turret.

[muted lance]

you should look at the HUD again

[muted lance]

figured out the problem of the target being too close to shoot was

this game quest is a headache ( problem is bug )

[trim meadow]

Not firing, my own companion turret fired at me 😭 Assault rocket launcher hit me with rocket 🤣

[opal oriole]

If you equip new exotic beacon exotic your companion makes good dmg 👀

[trim meadow]

Isn't it's free on season pass?

[opal oriole]

Yeah it is

[strange harbor]

Has the overdog been in the general loot pool yet?

[trim meadow]

So the new exotic is benefit for companion so what we will do in next season when they'll remove them? 🤣

[opal oriole]

Lmao idk 🤣

[junior sequoia]

The description says companion or ally? Because if it's ally, it applies to skills and players.

[opal oriole]

So basically is good for all companion you getting crits hit and skill efficiency and armor regen for your allies

[desert thunder]

Got make thoes head shots

[opal oriole]

Wait its only for players 🤔

[opal oriole]

Meh nvm my bad 🤣

[muted lance]

Is there any way to farm bot exp faster? Our bot is too stupid and the enemy bot is very rude.

[opal oriole]

What i do is do missions and on normal with tank build letting him killing all of them

[oak gazelle]

when they revive you, you'll be rewarded 15xp for it

[muted lance]

GG game

[obsidian ibex]

How do I get Tinkerer mask?

[worldly fjord]

potomac event center mission: manager manhunt, mastery difficulty guarantees it first try

[pseudo tundra]

manager potomac event mission, master mode has a guaranteed first time clear the rest is RNG

[unreal rune]

How do I get exotic assault rifles

[feral bronze]

hi all trying to get my old refractor build to work but were is cool skills in dieectives menu cant seem to find it is it removed

[turbid sapphire]

cool skills is a seasonal directive. directives change every season. only summi9t has them all 24/7

I havent seen the directives currently but we have a new journey, and a new event calendar, so likely Id guess directives have also been set.

because of this, its rarely a good idea to build around a directive or seasonal de/buff

[pseudo tundra]

try going into a DZ checkpoint

[worldly fjord]

How would that help 🤨

[feral bronze]

ah i see tks for that no wonder only used it last season with friends

[pseudo tundra]

for some reason it enables you to select it and turn it off in the directives menu

#td2-general-chat message

[lost jay]

Countdown with targeted loot for ARs

[worldly fjord]

There are 10 directives in the game, and each season randomly selects 5 for its duration. A new season started 2 days ago so that's why its gone

[feral bronze]

tried dz all cp i went to still the same its not showing must be last season only

[pseudo tundra]

yeah i know it's a ghost 6th directive

try going to another map like summit or zoo

[unreal rune]

Alright the only ones I've gotten were from the exotic caches from journey but I have 1 cache left

[lost jay]

Some of the exotic ARs are locked behind certain missions too tho. Like the Eagle Bearer

[feral bronze]

@pseudo tundra didnt workk not showing even as directive for missions eoither must be old season

only have pistol/fog of war/special ammo/scavenged skills and fragile armour break

[pseudo tundra]

i know it's from the old season, but there were some weird stuff that enabled for you to select it to disable

[feral bronze]

ah well tks anyway no biggie was fun last using it last season back to the drawing board

[oak gazelle]

voices, I hear voices!

[unreal rune]

Mind naming those missions?

[pseudo tundra]

eagle bearer is behind dark hours raid

capacitor you need to some challenges on the summit

big horn is from legendary bosses (either missions or summit)

that said eagle bearer and big horn have really tiny chance on DZ

[unreal rune]

Thanks

[minor ferry]

So.... Ive head the new modifiers mostly suck donkey in fun factor. Is this the case?

[nimble spruce]

Very much a matter of personal taste, best to just try them for yourself

Definitely less OP than the last few seasons though

[cold pumice]

Medic is good.

Assault is half asleep most of the time.

Engineers turret is just poor and doesnt last long enough

[minor ferry]

yeah, less OP is good imo, but them adding insane damage reduction modifiers just kinda sits wrong with me on a gut feeling level

but idk maybe theres a good way to play around it i shall have to see and reserve my opinion

[cold pumice]

The passives from this season are fine, 20% innate hazpro, 15% innate weapon damage and some skill efficiency.

Helpful but not broken like the last 2/3 seasons

[minor ferry]

20% innate hazpro kinda good for backfire

[nimble spruce]

Hostile modifiers a bit stronger too though, which makes the weakness of the companion more of an issue (creates more micromanagement to counter them)

Most people just seem to be annoyed by the constant dialogue though

[feral bronze]

just complete journey in under 2hrs then turn compaion o-ff u wont miss them as 99percent of the time they are dumb never move run away or dont shut up.and anyway game more fun without them

[oak gazelle]

Engineers turret is just poor
and about 80% of the time he puts in a spot where it can't shoot enemies, the other 20% are a mix between the turret is not sure about which enemy to shoot and turning around

[feral bronze]

yeah sticking turret beinh a box or wall lol

[cold pumice]

Yeah the 60% DR enemy is a pain, spawns ALOT lol

[cold pumice]

Yeah its not great. My assault aims his RPG half the time and then forgets what he was doing and just stands there staring at a dead enemy for a few minutes

[feral bronze]

if u got journey complete turn them off trust me u have better time

[minor ferry]

sad state of affairs man,... these "modifiers" are supposed to keep things fresh yet they are so poorly made and balanced that we feel forced to turn them off

[oak gazelle]

or decides to hit you instead of the enemies with it 😄

[minor ferry]

at least PoE2 can make good new seasonal mechanics for the wipes on that game

[feral bronze]

yeah true its what it is but atleast im having fun trying new builds etc with the new stuff season pass 88 atm and still blasting

[minor ferry]

do you work? lol (jk)

[feral bronze]

@minor ferry work from home court clerk but just do countdown on challenge takes around 114 games lol

[cold pumice]

I played for 3 hours last night, finished the season journey and hit 40 in the season pass. Its quite easy

[minor ferry]

fair enough

[oak gazelle]

yep, just deselect the modifier and enjoy double the passives

[minor ferry]

huh? so what turn off companions?

[feral bronze]

yeah u wont notice them unless u wear a headset and go crazy with their jibber jabber non stop lol

[oak gazelle]

you can just deselect the active modifier, so your companion won't spawn and you gain double the passive buffs (from recruiting 10 of them each)

[feral bronze]

yeah true

[somber pumice]

I just wish they were more responsive to movement calls

I use a medic so him not killing is like eh but whatever, but him not responding to my reposition calls is 💀

[trim meadow]

I got 2

[shadow isle]

anyone knows why journey mission 3 unlocks rapid tactics and no escape but they're not shown in the available passive modifiers?

[cold pumice]

Scroll down

There are lots of them

[shadow isle]

son of a ...; lol, thanks. I didn't see anything in the UI that indicates there's more to scroll down to so thanks for letting me know

[worldly fjord]

how do you get 30 kills with the engineer turret, those things are dumb af

[cold pumice]

Put it on low diff, run Jefferson trade center

Prime the turret in the first room, then set it in the second room, the corridor. Get about 8 kills

Rinse repeat

[worldly fjord]

will try, thanks

[worldly fjord]

it only goes up by 1 per run, even tho the turret finishes multiple people

2 max if im lucky

[cold pumice]

Probably bugged, alot of them are

[worldly fjord]

thankfully didnt notice any other bugs. just this one

they really love doing a combat roll...

[minor ferry]

Have Ubi fixed the fragile armor directive yet?

[worldly fjord]

no. been half a decade. probabely gonna have to wait another half

[worldly fjord]

yeah dude just shoot the ceiling

never seen an AI more stupid then this... then how come this thing bursts me down instantly from 100 meters away if its deployed by an enemy..
rant over i promise lol

[desert thunder]

Can someone please explain to me why is it the rate of fire is electronic and not a weapon damage talent

[rustic raptor]

The Whole Companion ai need hard improvement

Spearhead rocket

Order Issuing.

Techline and Quickfix

[cold pumice]

Because not all named items have unique talents...

[gleaming wigeon]

Weapon handling is stability, accuracy and reload speed? 🤔

[cold pumice]

And swap speed

[gleaming wigeon]

Ah thanks again 👍

[timid vessel]

since when did turning on neutral lighting make the game so dark? Can't see anything anymore.

[delicate tartan]

Hello i use controller i asked before , got info but i wonder comands cause i use controller how does it work on xbox controller i was told button up

[cold pumice]

All the control should be in the seasonal modifier section of the inventory

Whatever you have always used for activiating seasonal mods, should be the same button

[delicate tartan]

Its companion how do you use comands like revive, kill enemies, hide...

[cold pumice]

All the same button.

Aim + Activate = Shoot
Cover + Activate = Get in cover
Hold Activate = Use specialisation

[desert thunder]

L2 +D-pad up =Shoot Double tap D-pad up =Cover just put ur crosshair to the location for it to take cover and Hold D-pad up for special

[delicate tartan]

Revive comand?

Is it special?

[desert thunder]

Auto matic

[delicate tartan]

Ok, special is turret or other abilities? Hold dpad up....

[desert thunder]

yes sir

when avalble

[delicate tartan]

I deploy companion in combat medic, engineer but it dont want to register it - journey quests- maybe i do it to early? Its 90 seconds each so

[desert thunder]

not to sure

[timid vessel]

I came across these two electrical boxes outside a building underneath the brooklyn bridge, but I can't seem to figure out what those do once u shoot them out. Does it have something to do with the tech cache? Here r pics of the boxes and pic of where I'm standing.

I see the yellow wires from the boxes leading up the roof, but can't figure out how to get up there whatever its connect to at the end.

[desert thunder]

One of the hunters mask

[cold pumice]

Huh....nice

[timid vessel]

@desert thunder shit, so did I mess up solving the puzzle by shooting it too early?

[desert thunder]

Above there is a radio tower now. I forget what Hunter mask it is but there's a walk-through. You just have to search YouTube

[timid vessel]

ok, thx

[desert thunder]

Ok this threw me into a seizure 😂

[short yacht]

Can we restore a recruited companion back after recruiting another ?

[cold pumice]

No

Not without finding another one

[delicate tartan]

I think im done with all journy missions today 🙂

Offense is medic? , tactics is engineer, defense is assault or?

[hollow crescent]

Anyonen know how to fix the gear dye glitch. I accidentally put on gear dye on my vest through apparel. But when i take it away, after i join a new session, it keeps getting back. Anyone know how to fix this?

[feral bronze]

dont forget u get double passive perks by turning compaion off lol

[limpid sequoia]

for the new unit alloy brand set, do you need to unlock the named items through the pass first before it appears in general loot pool, or no?

[brittle walrus]

how do u turn him off?

[weak finch]

please post this on #fanart-and-photomode

[rugged stratus]

like 5hr ago and doesnt fit there

[dry pond]

Does it make a difference in performance if I have it on windowed fullscreen or fullscreen?

[cold pumice]

Only if your Pc is weak.

On most games it's negligible, probably 1/2 FPS drop

[dry pond]

Should be good then, thanks.

When I alt tab screen goes black for like 1-2 seconds before I can do anything again. So annoying.

[cold pumice]

Yeah fullscreen will do that because it doesn't render windows in the background. Borderless will continuously render the desktop in the background

[dry pond]

is that why that happens? I thought it had something to do with windows FPS not being the same as the game FPS or something along those lines.

[cold pumice]

Nah it's because the GPU dedicates itself to the game, not rendering the desktop behind it at all. So when you t ab out, it has to render everything again

[next inlet]

Wrong chat whoops

[dry pond]

Didn't know that, thanks dawg. windowed fullscreen should be good.

[cold pumice]

It's the best way if you have multiple screens or tab out alot.

Another fact: Borderless prevents the entire system from crashing if/when the game crashes as well.

[inner tendon]

A lot of modern games default to that, at least on my system.
So that tracks.

[cold pumice]

Yeah it's become more the default these days, older games still would recommend running dedicated fullscreen simply because they aren't designed for multi screen set ups (nothing worse than losing your mouse cursor lol)

[snow prairie]

on multiple screen setups it might lead to the mouse cursor escaping the game window, but it gets fixed after some alt tabs and minimising and maximising the game window

[cold pumice]

Doesn't tend to happen anymore, most games are designed around Borderless post 2015 since windows introduced their fullscreen optimization in windows 10.

[snow prairie]

i guess i deal with it more being on linux then, or maybe its the jank of unity engine games

[rugged stratus]

you usually have to get into a menu before your courser wanders, or tab out, or hit a special key thats bound in game

[inner tendon]

div2 instead just makes you maximise the window twice whenever you open it.
I still never figured that one out.

[rugged stratus]

so completed a territory control and got a ton of bounties in 1 shot

[cold pumice]

Yeah, they're ones you already had lol. I've had the same keep happening since update lol

[rugged stratus]

hold alt and itll let courser to other screen if you run multi monitor setup

[inner tendon]

Single monitor, no space for 2.

woo tiny house life!

[rugged stratus]

gotcha

[snow prairie]

i managed to squeeze two monitors on a desk that would never support it, thank god for hydraulic monitor arms lol, but its nifty i like the setup

[surreal trench]

Why does it said not eligible when im trying to invite my friend for the refferal ?

[cold pumice]

Are they a new player?

[surreal trench]

My friend is just got the game literally

[weak finch]

Same here, new Kelso bug dropped

[oak gazelle]

it was a bug on PTS

[river wren]

So im a returning player from before the brooklyn dlc and im wondering what i should be doing

[copper zodiac]

Regarding EP.
Does it have to be MY status or can it be applied by anyone.

[empty robin]

This a bug? I thought caches were random

[cold pumice]

Yours

[surreal trench]

Are you on psn? If yes can you help me get the referral program ?

[delicate tartan]

Why do they not update season cache countdown to mutiny instead of the pact?

[river wren]

im on pc

[copper zodiac]

How come its Spreading applies from someone else's status.
I know for a fact no one besides me is running EP.

[cold pumice]

Possible theyre using the backpack talent Creeping death

[copper zodiac]

Not that either.
js did a gear check.

[pearl pasture]

As long as it is your effect it spreads regardless who kills the enemy

[pseudo tundra]

If someone apllies something like bleed to an enemy you already set on fire for example, it should spread both

Might need to double check that but is what i remember

[pearl pasture]

You can also hit an enemy with the same effect applied by someone else and it should still count as yours

[feral bronze]

@brittle walrus to turn compaion of and get the double perks just click deactivate simple

[rain nova]

What is special about stack broker and will they ever give Lexington skins again?

[tribal hemlock]

higher rate of fire, lower damage. it stacks faster than other acs shotties.

[rain nova]

Is it better than rock n roll

[tribal hemlock]

depends. you can't fully stack striker chest in one mag. but it stacks faster. so you can dump your stack broker mag to get partial stacks and finish the rest with your main weapon.

you don't need to fully stack with acs. just enough to get you going.

i'd call it a sidegrade personally

[delicate tartan]

How do i complete season journy six - revive alies while i have a active companion buff?

[timid notch]

Is it worth getting to 30 expertise on your weapons

[pseudo tundra]

if you have mats to spare maybe in some weapons

[slim elk]

it's nice to have but not necessary

[pseudo tundra]

if you want to do PVP then yeah

[timid notch]

Whats a good comfortable expertise for PVE

Im currently at 17

[pseudo tundra]

for PVE you honestly dont need it

[tribal hemlock]

15 is a good stopping point and doesnt cost much

also it depends on the weapon. there are weapons with high base damage values that'll benefit more from expertise. like marksman rifles.

[timid notch]

For example is it crazy to get the Lexington at expertise 30

[tribal hemlock]

yes

if i had to choose i'd rather have 2 weapons at 15 than one weapon at 30

unless that weapon is an mmr that needs a minimum amount of damage for chainkiller stacks to reach a certain threshold

[timid notch]

Im deciding if I just expertise my favorite guns to 30 then set everything else at like 20

Then prob just do gear sets at 12

[tribal hemlock]

sounds reasonable

[timid notch]

I dont got a lot of favorite guns so it wouldnt be bad to waste some mats

[pseudo tundra]

would say it isnt worth investing so much in expertise for armor

[slim elk]

expertise on gear is just optional, often considered not optimal, he just has it because he farmed thousands of mats before the mule nerf

[tribal hemlock]

12 doesn't require exos so that's fine

but yea at grade 12 that's like 80k armor (1 blue core is 170k)

i only have one build with gear at grade 30 b/c it's my favorite one

[tiny totem]

what order should i do bountys and dlcs in for some story stuff?

[pseudo tundra]

#ask-td2-community message

just follow this

[rugged stratus]

you may have applied a status from environmental and/or special ammo source

what was the status in question?

[copper zodiac]

Riot Foam & Shock.
Either way they're stunned and I can't be bothered to complain.

[rugged stratus]

what are your companions traits

i would honestly think its from an environmental source or a weakpoint getting destroyed. its pretty common

[tiny totem]

thanks

[desert thunder]

Finally found the off switch for the companion from them talking

[sharp osprey]

With all gear at 30 what does that push your armor to?

[desert thunder]

30 %x 6 gear =180% extra to how much armor you have on

[timid vessel]

for smart cover mods, is max 6% for all?

[eternal edge]

is the journey mission to get kills with techline turret bugged

[strange harbor]

Is the overdog in the general loot pool yet?

[tribal hemlock]

+198k armor

so a bit more than a blue core

[desert thunder]

the max armor you get if you ran 3 Gil w/5%total Armor and 3 Golan w/10% Total armor comes to 1,932,016 in total armor plus the 180% = 3,477,628
